Registry Number: 60-33-3. Subject Subsets: Animal Nutrition N2 - Female Sprague-Dawley rats were fed on a fat-free diet of glucose 65.4, salt mixture 4.0, vitamin mixture 0.6, vitamin-free casein 20.0 and cellulose 10.0 or the same diet supplemented with 1% ethyl linoleate. The rats were sham-irradiated or irradiated with 60Co at 100 rad/min 1 or 24 h after feeding and then killed 2 h after intraperitoneal injection of a balanced, soluble diet [NAR 30, 6214], 10 ml/kg bodyweight. Liver mitochondria were prepared and the lag time for mitochondrial swelling and respiratory control during oxidation of succinate were studied. Compared with the rats not given the nutrient injection those given it had significantly increased lag time in every group. The main effect of radiation, starvation or linoleate was dominated by the significant effect of the nutrient injected. Whole-body irradiation or the injection of the nutrient significantly increased the respiratory control values above the corresponding controls. The effects were observed separately or in combination with those of other treatments. Linoleate or feeding increased the overall respiratory control values above those found with the fat-free or starved groups. There was no direct or injurious effect of irradiation on liver mitochondria.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - A survey was conducted to determine the effects of biting and stinging arthropods on USA army military personnel, operations, and training. Nearly 70% of respondents reported experiencing problems attributable to arthropods. Arthropods obstructed movement and field position, prevented concealment and cover, disrupted manoeuvres, and caused panic. 20% of respondents reported attendance at sick call for treatment of bites or stings, and 4% were hospitalized or assigned to quarters. Median lost time was 2 days. Bee, wasp, and ant stings and spider and chigger bites were the most frequent causes of lost time. Additional training on biting and stinging arthropods, use of repellents and other personal protective measures, first aid for bites and stings, and conditions requiring medical attention is needed in field units to enhance mission performance and reduce time lost because of arthropods. Materials for treatment of bites and stings should be included in first-aid kits issued for field use.

N2 - The Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BWC), which prohibits the acquisition of biological materials for hostile purposes and armed conflict, entered into force in 1975 and now has the participation of 140 nations (158 nations have signed the BWC, but only 140 of these have also ratified it). However, there is no monitoring mechanism associated with the BWC. Diplomatic efforts are now under way to create a supplemental, legally binding protocol to strengthen the convention. Measures to strengthen the BWC are analogous to the diagnostic processes familiar to physicians; the problem facing negotiators is to identify procedures with high positive and negative predictive value. Few proposed measures meet these criteria. However, the investigation of unusual disease outbreaks and allegations of use are highly diagnostic of illicit activities while avoiding false-positive accusations. At the same time, such information generated by the BWC can contribute to worldwide efforts to improve public health, control emergent disease, and establish an international norm against biological weapons proliferation.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - The purpose of this study was to cull lessons from Toronto's experiences with large-scale quarantine during the outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome in early 2003. We focused on issues that affected the population's willingness to comply with quarantine. Information was acquired from interviews, telephone polling, and focus groups. Issues of quarantine legitimacy, criteria for quarantine, and the need to allow some quarantined healthcare workers to leave their homes to go to work were identified. Also important was the need to answer questions from people entering quarantine about the continuation of their wages, salaries, and other forms of income while they were not working, and about the means by which they would be supplied with groceries and other services necessary for daily living. The threat of enforcement had less effect on compliance than did the credibility of compliance-monitoring. Fighting boredom and other psychological stresses of quarantine, muting the forces of stigma against those in quarantine, and crafting and delivering effective and believable communications to a population of mixed cultures and languages also were critical. The need for officials to develop consistent quarantine policies, procedures, and public messages across jurisdictional boundaries was paramount.

Language: English. Number of References: 125 ref. Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - The New World alphaviruses Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV), eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEEV), and western equine encephalitis virus (WEEV) pose a significant threat to human health as the etiological agents of serious viral encephalitis through natural infection as well as through their potential use as a biological weapon. At present, there is no FDA-approved medical treatment for infection with these viruses. The Defense Threat Reduction Agency, Joint Science and Technology Office for Chemical and Biological Defense (DTRA/JSTO), is currently funding research aimed at developing antiviral drugs and vaccines against VEEV, EEEV, and WEEV. A review of antiviral drug discovery efforts for these viruses revealed significant gaps in the data, assays, and models required for successful drug development. This review provides a description of these gaps and highlights specific critical research areas for the development of a target-based drug discovery program for the VEEV, EEEV, and WEEV nonstructural proteins. These efforts will increase the probability of the successful development of a pharmaceutical intervention against these viral threat agents.

Subject Subsets: Public Health; Human Nutrition N2 - The United States Army (USA) under the auspices of the Medical Research and Material Command (USAMRMC) and the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) sponsored several major efforts to develop an effective medical countermeasure against botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT). This review focuses on the U.S. Army's research and development efforts for a BoNT therapeutic over the period from 1975-2007. Two antitoxin preparations: Human botulism immunoglobulin (BIG) and Botulism Immune Globulin F(ab′)2 Heptavalent Equine (BIGHE) were administered to humans and shown to possess acceptable efficacy and safety levels. BIGHE was deployed in Operation Desert Storm/Desert Shield. BoNT/A monoclonal antibodies were developed and are currently undergoing clinical evaluation with funding from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID). The development of small molecules for the treatment of BoNT has also been supported. Efforts have focused on molecules to inhibit nearly every aspect of BoNT pathogenesis. This would include toxin binding, translocation, catalytic activity, and recovery following intoxication. Several compounds capable of inhibiting toxin activity or mitigating the severity of paralysis have been identified. To date, none of the compounds possess the appropriate properties (safety, efficacy, solubility) to be considered for clinical studies.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Tropical Diseases N2 - Soldiers from the Republic of Korea and the United States conduct armistice military operations at Twin Bridges Training Area (TBTA) located near the demilitarized zone (DMZ) and are exposed to zoonotic disease pathogens that small mammals and their potentially disease-carrying ectoparasites transmit. TBTA is a 36 km2 rural training site with small villages and various forms of agriculture along its boundary. At TBTA, rodents, insectivores, and their ectoparasites are commonly found in association with unmanaged habitats of various densities of tall grasses, herbaceous plants, shrubs, briars, and crawling vegetation. Rodents and insectivores were collected during the winter (November-December 2005 and December 2006) and early spring (March 2007), and serologically tested for the presence of scrub typhus, murine typhus, and leptospirosis antibodies. Of the six species of small mammals collected, Apodemus agrarius, the common striped field mouse and known reservoir of scrub typhus, was the most frequently collected (96.1%), followed by Crocidura lasiura (2.5%), Micromys minutus (0.5%), Myodes regulus (0.5%), Mus musculus (0.3%), and Rattus rattus (0.1%). A. agrarius (56.1%), M. musculus (66.7%), M. minutus (25%), and R. rattus (100%) were positive for scrub typhus antibodies. Only A. agrarius (14.7%) and C. lasiura (4.5%) were positive for murine typhus antibodies, whereas only A. agrarius (1.5%) was seropositive for leptospirosis.

Subject Subsets: Soils & Fertilizers; Irrigation & Drainage N2 - Landfills are among the major sources of anthropogenic methane (CH4) estimated to reach 40×109 kg per year worldwide by 2015 (IPCC, 2007). A 21/2-year field experiment was conducted at a closed landfill in western Michigan where methanotrophs, methane-consuming bacteria, were stimulated by nutrient addition to the soil without significantly increasing biogenic nitrous oxide (N2O) production. The effects of the nitrogen amendments (KNO3 and NH4Cl), phenylacetylene (a selective inhibitor of nitrifying bacteria that contribute to N2O production), and a canopy (to reduce direct water infiltration) on the vertical soil gas profiles of CH4, CO2, and O2 were measured in the top meter of the soil. Methane and nitrous oxide fluxes were calculated from the corresponding soil gas concentration gradients with respect to depth and a Millington-Quirk diffusivity coefficient in soil derived empirically from soil porosity, water content, and diffusivity coefficients in air from the literature. Methane flux estimates were as high as 218.4 g m-2 day-1 in the fall and 12.8 g/m-2 day-1 in the summer. During the spring and summer, CH4 fluxes were reduced by more than half by adding KNO3 and NH4Cl into the soil as compared to control plots, while N2O fluxes increased substantially. The concurrent addition of phenylacetylene to the amendment decreased peak N2O production by half and the rate of peak methane oxidation by about one-third. The seasonal average methane and N2O flux data were extrapolated to estimate the reduction of CH4 and N2O fluxes into the atmosphere by nitrogen and inhibitor addition to the cover soils. The results suggest that such additions coupled with soil moisture management may provide a potential strategy to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from landfills.

Subject Subsets: Veterinary Science; Veterinary Science; Public Health; Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - Vaccinations against the encephalitic alphaviruses (western, eastern, and Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus) are of significant interest to biological defense, public health, and agricultural communities alike. Although vaccines licensed for veterinary applications are used in the Western Hemisphere and attenuated or inactivated viruses have been used under Investigational New Drug status to protect at-risk personnel, there are currently no licensed vaccines for use in humans. Here, we will discuss the need for a trivalent vaccine that can protect humans against all three viruses, recent progress to such a vaccine, and a strategy to continue development to Food and Drug Administration licensure.

The purpose of this article is to consider these suggestions and to indicate the accounting and auditing problems facing the Department of Defense in connection with its procurement contracts. Cost-type contracts require most contract costs be readily ascertainable. Generally accepted accounting principles provide standards for the evaluation of the financial position of an enterprise and for the measurement of income and expense over a given period of time. Fixed price contracts may also incorporate an incentive feature. Under this type of contract a unit target price is agreed upon during the initial negotiations with the contractor. The usual annual audit by independent auditors is directed toward the determination of the reliability of management's representations contained in the client's financial statements. The major audit effort is placed on balance sheet items with somewhat less emphasis on income and expense accounts.

Within this subject, there are two main subdivisions: time-sharing and man-machine interactive languages. Various aspects of time-sharing in general and some specific systems are examined. Interactive languages (e.g., opl, cogo), on-line applications (e.g., map, mathlab), interactive graphic displays (e.g., those utilizing cathode-ray tubes), and applications of man-machine communication to specific user groups (e.g., teaching, management, medical) are discussed.

Yet it is obvious to even the most casual observer that little agreement exists as to the meaning of the term, the potential for useful forecasting, regardless of detailed nature, or the status of relevant studies. The purpose of this paper is to review generally the various, apparently useful forecasting techniques, to offer a rationale basis for undertaking a technological forecast, and to place technological forecasting in perspective with regard to other planning inputs.

The independent accountant, whatever his charge from the client may be, is certainly in a position to inquire into the effectiveness and adequacy of the cost accounting system and to recommend needed improvements. The burden accounts, whether they are identified as manufacturing overhead, material overhead, engineering overhead, or whatever, and their cousin, the General and Administrative Expense, get a lot of attention from all who are concerned with the award and administration of defense contracts. There are definite rewards for the contractor who can do a good job of estimating costs against government requests for proposals which are to become negotiated contracts. One of the most important concerns to the management of any profit-making enterprise is the prevention of unnecessary outlays. In this respect it would seem that the interests of business ownership and management and the interest of the government as a customer would be exactly the same. Less cost permits lower prices to the customer and should certainly lead to better profits for the owners.

Financial management controls are an intrinsic part of a modern ADPS. The same programs which record costs may analyze their pattern and trend and compare them with budgets, past performance, productions levels and other standards. The agency had found that a nontechnical approach to ADPS is helpful in developing audit programs for these and other functional areas. While the DCAA does not prohibit the use of around the computer techniques, minimum audit standards in an ADPS environment have been promulgated which encourage more efficient methods.

The use of statistical sampling in auditing has been the subject of so many reports that there can no longer be any doubt that it is accepted as an effective audit technique. However, even considering the abundance of available material, auditors are still left without guidance regarding the sample size. The sample size tends to vary with the assurance that the auditor wants from the sample. In other words, as the auditor wants to take less of a chance of being wrong, he must increase his sample size. The literature on statistical sampling abounds with examples in which 90%, 95% and even 99% reliability levels are used. However, an auditor who uses statistical sampling soon discovers that very large sample sizes are required to achieve acceptable confidence intervals at such high reliability levels. The situation becomes especially frustrating when the auditor has high expectations that a serious or significant error does not exist in the system or account under review. In this situation, it is very difficult for the auditor to rationalize the benefits to be gained from expanding his sample.

AB - Investigated the activity changes of RNA polymerase, choline acetyl transferase, acetyl cholinesterase, and MAO in 5 brain areas in groups of water deprived Sprague-Dawley male rats (N = 64) trained to run for water reward, extinguished after training, or retrained after extinction. Marked increase in RNA polymerase and choline acetyl transferase activities were observed in the hippocampus of the experimental Ss.

Presented is the first theory of expert resolution wholly consistent with the Bayesian or subjectivist view of probability. The approach taken rests philosophically on the foundations of decision analysis. The results form practical tools for solving expert resolution problems. The present paper develops a structure in which the expert resolution problem may be logically formulated and conceptually solved. A framework is developed which enables a decision maker to encode his state of reformation concerning an expert. Application of the tools of Bayesian inference provides a mechanism by which a decision maker can incorporate an expert's opinion into his own. The more complicated case in which a decision maker is confronted with the diverse judgments of more than one expert is also addressed in detail. Additionally, the problem of determining the economic worth of one or a panel of experts is presented.

Tolerance, manifested by a dimininished EEG response at cortical and subcortical recording sites, was found in Ss subjected to repeated systemic injections of morphine sulfate. Reversal of tolerance to morphine resulted from destruction of the medial thalamus, although these lesions had little, if any, effect on the withdrawal effects of naloxone.

See Isa 76-009/y Y1 - 1975/// M3 - Book Chapter AB - The packet radio technology utilizes a distributed set of microprocessors to provide computer control of a multiple access radio communication system. It is capable of supporting switched wideband communications over very short distances (inches) and over wide geographic areas (hundreds of miles). Within limits, the system allows coexistence with other, possibly different, systems which may reside in the same frequency band. An overview of the initial packet radio system was presented. Several of its design objectives are expected to be upgraded in a later phase of the system development. These include higher data rates, smaller repeater size, expanded station functions, and improved coding and reception techniques for fading, interference, and multi-access channels. Authentication and privacy mechanisms will be incorporated at that time. Among the wide variety of uses to which packet radio may be put are the following: 1) personal radio terminals; 2) cable tv; 3) computer architecture (packet broadcasting may become a natural way for system architects to interconnect large numbers of microprocessors in the future); 4) rapid deployment (introduce communications to temporary work site in a very short time period); 5) frequency management (spectrum management techniques are needed to assure that the present and expected requirements for use of the freqency bands can be satified).

The need to manage this software as a critical component of defense systems over their life cycle is becoming widely recognized. A general awareness of this need as an institutional problem requiring special attention within the Office of the Secretary of Defense has been growing as software problems have reached top level defense management visibility with increasing regularity. Soft- ware costs are continuing to multiply in step with advancing weapons systems sophistication, and opportunities for cost avoidance now are leveraged against large dollar investments. These conditions characterize the computer industry at large, but very little overall focus has been visible to improve the software development process. Consequently, the Department of Defense (DoD) has undertaken a two part effort to accelerate both near-term and long-term improvements in software development for weapons system applications. These efforts, the establishment of software life cycle management policy and practices, and the vigorous development and application of new software technology are discussed in considerable depth.

There are thus many who believe that political scientists can never exert a significant impact upon the public policy-making process. Perhaps one way of narrowing the gap between the researcher and the policy-maker is to examine the public (foreign) policy decision-making process, pinpoint the leverage points within the process where social and political scientists (who engage in foreign policy analysis) might help, and then list the kinds and methods of analysis that would contribute the most to the process. The work of Harold D. Lasswell, James E. Anderson, E. S. Quade, William D. Coplin, and Charles F. Hermann can help us define the (foreign) policy-making process and locate the points at which scientific analysis can help the (foreign) policy-maker. The matching of these leverage points with types and instances of "relevant" analyses, as well as the methodologies necessary to carry out the analyses results in a matrix of decision tasks and research tasks which may be viewed as an agenda for the conduct of policy relevant research.

JO - Journal of Operations Management JF - Journal of Operations Management Y1 - 1986/05// VL - 6 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 363 EP - 379 SN - 02726963 AB - The purpose of the article is to illustrate the use of computer simulation study and modeling in the design of complex systems. When new systems are designed, decision-makers rely heavily upon judgment, intuition and experience. The method discussed is intended to enhance these executive attributes by providing a vehicle with which the decision-maker may be proactive before implementing the system rather than being solely reactive after implementation. The application of a method known as the "systems science paradigm" is discussed and illustrated using the U.S. Air Force's Precision Location Strike System. The problem was to design a logistical support structure for the Strike System. The three major options proposed were to locate repair and resupply structures at the point of equipment use in Europe, to have a mixed system, or to locate support at a base in the continental United States. The research employed the paradigm suggested to develop an experimental Q-GERT simulation model of the processes and structures envisioned. Data development for abstract systems is illustrated and methods to experiment with alternate structures are developed and discussed. The concept of multiechelon inventory and repair are addressed within the problem's context. A proposed design alternative resulted from application of the process. Methods, other than cost effectiveness, to evaluate the system are also suggested. Implementing the design process for illdefined systems appears to be an effective method for dealing with such design problems.

Methods: Standardized comparisons of the use of alcohol, drugs, and cigarettes among military personnel and civilians were conducted with data form the 1985 Worldwide Survey of Alcohol and Nonmedical Drug Use among Military Personnel and the 1985 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse. The two data sets were equated for age and geographic location of respondents, and civilian substance use rates were standardized to reflect the sociodemographic distribution of the military. Results: Military personnel were significantly less likely than civilians to use drugs, but were significantly more likely to use alcohol and cigarettes and to engage in heavy use of alcohol and cigarettes. Heavy drinking was especially likely among young military men. Military women were similar to military men in their smoking and drug use patterns. Conclusions: Findings suggest that military policies and programs have been notably effective in reducing drug use, but that efforts to limit alcohol and cigarette use should be intensified. Military efforts directed against alcohol abuse should be targeted toward younger men, while smoking and drug prevention programs should be directed toward both men and women.

The U.S. Department of Defense, as the nation's largest employer of American youth, has a significant impact on the youth labor market in general and on minority youth in particular. As large numbers of U.S. forces were recently deployed to a battle area of Saudi Arabia, questions arose once again as to the "fairness" of having minorities serve in disproportionate numbers in the armed forces. The issues surrounding minority participation in the military have been much discussed since the inception of all-volunteer force in 1973. This article, in addition to assessing economic returns, specially examines reasons that minority youth are attracted to military service. Moreover, it assess the impact of service on youth in terms of their earning experience. It has been well documented that blacks and Hispanics historically have had less opportunity in the civilian labor market than their comparably educated and experienced non-Hispanic white counterparts.

Multi-attribute utility theory provides a structured, coherent framework for conducting an analysis in which system designs are evaluated on multiple performance parameters. This paper describes the application of multi-attribute utility analysis to the design of the Worldwide Digital Signal Systems Architecture (WWDSA), a telecommunications system, by the United States' Defense Communications Agency (now called the Defense Information Systems Agency). The advantages of using multiattribute utility theory during the system design are highlighted. In addition, we discuss several key analytical issues that led to this application being a success in the eyes of the decision makers.

AB - Considers the restructuring of war gaming scenarios based on the accelerated pace of change in the world's political environment since the 1980s. It is suggested that computer simulations of war games should allow players the flexibility to develop their own scenario just prior to the execution of the program, not only to enhance the scenario's legitimacy but to enable students to learn more about war games and explore potential future paths to war. The Korean peninsula, the Middle East, the Balkan peninsula, and the bordering republics of the former Soviet Union are proposed as the most likely sites on which to base general war game scenarios in the near future.

The DOD currently maintains more than 1.4 billion lines of code associated with thousand of heterogeneous, noncombat information systems at more than 1,700 data centers. This enormous inventory of often functionally duplicative systems creates two key classes of problems. The cost of operating these systems consumes an enormous portion of total DOD information technology related spending. Despite this level of spending, the department is often unable to obtain correct information from the data stored in the various existing databases due to a lack of standardized data and data structures across systems. DOD has recognized this problem for a long time. The Required Operations Capability document initially called the integrated systems the joint Operations Planning System (JOPS). When the execution dimension was added in the late 1980s, JOPS became the Joint Operations Planning and Execution Systems.

SN - 0095327X AB - This article uses three interrelated concepts--ideal type, model, and paradigm--to examine and explain both change and continuity in the American military culture as it undergoes major social change. Briefly, the analysis defines the three concepts and then applies each to current military culture. From this analysis, one sees continuity in the military's cultural paradigm, termed the "combat, masculine-warrior." However, one also sees change as illustrated by the military's "evolving" model of culture. Also discussed is how the military's combat, masculine-warrior paradigm conflicts with its evolving model of culture. This conflict helps explain some of the current turmoil as the military adapts to social change (e.g., diversity). The article concludes with a discussion of a potential paradigm shift in military culture. Hopefully this article provides a framework of analysis from which military leaders can better understand and proactively manage culture and change.

The number of computers connected through the Internet exceeds two million, but by how much is unknown due to the incredible rate of growth. Over 20 million people can be reached by electronic mail and have access to resources via the Internet. Initially a technology designed primarily for the needs of the U.S. military, the Internet grew to serve the academic and research communities. More recently, there has been tremendous expansion of the network both internationally and into the commercial user domain. Projections indicate that by the time you read this, the number of non-U.S. networks will exceed those of the United States. Many exciting developments are taking place within specific Internet user communities. One of those critical to the operation of the network itself is the community that coordinates responses to threats to the network.

Cases were identified through 1989. Cases were identified through hospital discharge diagnoses and included transient gestational hypertension, pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, and unspecified hypertension complicating pregnancy. Multivariate analysis showed nulliparous Black women to be at a slightly increased risk for all pregnancy-induced hypertension (risk ratio [RR] = 1.2) and for pre-eclampsia (RR = 1.3) compared with nulliparous White women. Black parous women were found to have a slightly reduced risk of all pregnancy-induced hypertension (RR = 0.77) and pre-eclampsia (RR = 0.38) compared with White parous women.

For convenience and cost, critical systems increasingly make use of consumer hardware and software, and sometimes the Internet connections. Because most consumer products and the Internet itself were not designed for security, it is quite easy to penetrate them. While the power distribution and telecommunications infrastructure is robust against simple failures, it cannot tolerate coordinated malfunctions on a much larger scale. Many people use security controls that reduce risks from isolated hackers or common frauds. But these controls are not adequate to prevent a determined adversary from penetrating and damaging national systems. Even the best-managed sites are still vulnerable. While firewalls raise the security threshold somewhat, they are not highly resistant to penetrations especially when configured to allow use of popular programs such as multimedia email and Web browsers.

Comparing the second decade of the cold war (1963 to 1972) to its first decade (1953 to 1962), total expenditures decreased by 7 percent but the average cost per airplane increased by 140 percent. Consequently, cost growth exceeded budget growth by 147 percent. Meanwhile, the air force plan for 1996 to 2013 is premised on a future cost-budget scenario that is stunningly different from this forty-two-year history. Between 1997 and 2013, the alternative plan would purchase 2,472 remanufactured and new fighter or attack airplanes, or 152 percent more than the 982 F-22 and JSF airplanes currently planned. Defenders of the F-22 and JSF status quo would no doubt assert that the country cannot afford to forgo the capability improvements provided by these aircraft. Naysayers might argue that the mix of capabilities in the proposed recovery option is wrong, because it would trade off the air force's capabilities to attack fixed targets deep in enemy territory for an increase in its capability to support the army in combined-arms combat. The F-22 may be impossible to stop, because its political engineers had the foresight to buy protection by spreading research and development subcontracts to 1,150 companies, employing 15,000 people in 43 states and Puerto Rico. The air force may have to eat the F-22 and watch its forces disintegrate because, according to the Secretary of the Air Force, as many as 160,000 jobs may be at risk, once the effects on local economies are accounted for.

AB - Examined the effectiveness of feedback to organizational development survey results in organizational supervisory improvement. 1,450 members of a military organization completed a survey rating supervisor and work environment perceptions. Supervisors received feedback and action-planning training. A follow-up survey was conducted 1 yr later to assess the effectiveness of the survey feedback and subsequent organizational changes. Results from 142 supervisory groups were analyzed using a series of univariate tests. Results indicate that perceptions of management-supervision, supervisory communications, and work-unit climate changed significantly, but differentially. Results were consistent with the hypotheses that initial rating levels predict which supervisors would use the feedback, and that use of the feedback would lead to subsequent improvements. Supervisors with higher initial ratings improved, and those with lower initial ratings did not.

Dynamic object technology combines object-oriented programming technology with dynamic linking and updating capabilities. Many programmers are familiar with the program development advantages of dynamic languages, which allow them to quickly redefine functionality in a running system, and switch instantly to the newly defined functionality. Dynamic object technology excels in several areas: It is ideal for runtime configuration, without needing to access source code. It uses techniques of reflection, meta-data, and meta-object protocols. It permits ongoing evolution, even in systems that are completely operational. Dynamic objects are the new wave of the future, appearing in applications for workflow management, process control, switch management, database management, decision support, scheduling and planning, and Web serving. This article presents examples illustrating the application of dynamic object technology to problems requiring more flexible software applications.

It is reported that the discussion focused mainly on reform issues - questions of national defence, military organization and leadership, and the modernization of the People's Army took a backseat to the reform theme. The Vietnamese military is still adjusting to a process of reform. The various meetings preceeding the congress, including preparatory military party committee meetings, are discussed in this report. A summary of the outcome of the congress is provided.

What used to be called three-tier client server architecture has been replaced by the web. The actual means to disseminate information widely is now cheap and reliable. This shift from database and client server architectures to Web-based storage and interaction over more heterogeneous data has increased the need for maintaining comprehensive descriptions of data structure, content and other properties. Distributed dynamic systems, also known as dynamic object-based knowledge systems, are increasingly filling the gap between information source and browser queries. These systems comprise knowledge in the form of objects and methods in object frameworks that constrain and contain the domain knowledge needed to answer queries with responses integrated from multiple data sources. These frameworks are dynamic in that they form rapidly evolvable and extensible systems that take advantage of the changing requirements without having to record existing knowledge.

Yet identifying, acquiring, and interpreting that information which is critical to understanding a particular event or situation in a timely manner, out of the sea of data of which the Web is composed, poses enormous problems. This is a problem of major interest to the US Department of Defense (DoD). While an exponentially growing volume of information is potentially available to one with copious time and substantial diligence, digital library research currently underway at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) intends to make this information accessible and usable to those confronting difficult decisions without the luxury of time. This is largely the motivation behind DARPA's Information Management (IM) program . Presents an overview of the IM program, focusing on its current directions and challenges.

We report results of a study using a world agricultural trade model to estimate the size and distribution of economic gains from yield increases in major United States (U.S.) crops attributable to genetic improvements. The net global economic benefits of a one-time, permanent increase in U.S. yields are about $8.1 billion (discounted at 10%) and $15.4 billion (discounted at 5%). The United States captures 50-60% of these net gains. Gains to consumers in developing and transitional economies range from 6.1 billion (10% discount rate) to $11.6 billion (5% discount rate).

In this environment, delivering the right information to the right user at the right time, and with appropriate quality, is the challenge. In addition, resource optimizations must be performed to the degree possible. In this paper we introduce the concept of information quality based system evaluation. The key contribution is a framework in which user/application needs for information quality can be quantified in terms of rigorously defined metrics, existing systems can be evaluated against these metrics, and the tradeoffs between information quality and its cost of provisioning can be examined. Further, this provides an approach to developing information quality aware policies and mechanisms for the system. This framework has been partially validated by applying it to the provisioning of continuous media services, i.e., audio and video, in a distributed environment. This paper presents the case study in detail. Finally, the paper outlines a research program in the area of information quality based system evaluation.

The writing process has been generally assumed to be one involving bargaining, compromise and extensive redrafting to accommodate different regional interests or ideological positions. A Central Committee directive in the middle of 1995 defined some of the earliest organizing goals for the 8th National Congress of the VNCP, which states that the grassroots-level congresses and the district, precinct and provincial congresses would discuss the process of contributing ideas to the draft documents for the National Congress.

We restrict ourselves to the class of dynamic cyclic policies, where the machine busy/idle policy and lot-sizing decisions are controlled in a dynamic fashion, but different products must be produced in a fixed sequence. As in earlier work, we conjecture that an averaging principle holds for this queueing system in the heavy traffic limit, and optimize over the class of dynamic cyclic policies. The results allow for a detailed discussion of the interactions between the due-date, setup, and product mix facets of the problem.

JO - Communications of the ACM JF - Communications of the ACM Y1 - 2001/08// VL - 44 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 31 EP - 37 SN - 00010782 AB - The article reports that visualisation allows to reveal information as accurately as if the viewer is watching a movie. A well-told story conveys great quantities of information in relatively few words in a format that is easily assimilated by the listener or viewer. Stories are just also more compelling. Images hold a considerable amount of information a viewer might grasp quickly. But images are prone to uncertainties and might require some clarification. Transforming the representation from text narrative to visual domain requires adding more information to the presentation. Information visualization is a process that transforms data, information, and knowledge into a form that relies on the human visual system. The user/viewer of the visualization needs to integrate the information streams, thoroughly understand them, and make decisions based on their information in a timely fashion. Information visualization combines aspects of imaging, graphics, scientific visualisation, and human computer and human-information interactions, as well as information technology. The flood of complex information moving into industrial and military command centers needs to be analyzed. In creating a better and more appealing representation, the designer who created visualizations in the figure tried to make the transition between disparate pieces of information appear more continuous.

In response to this directive, a cholesterol and blood pressure screening event was held for a government employer to assess employees' risks of cardiovascular disease. Employees completed a health risk assessment survey that included questions related to cardiovascular risk as defined by NCEP and JNC-VI guidelines. Pharmacists obtained blood pressure, total and HDL-cholesterol, and blood glucose measurements. Results were scanned into the Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) Risk Calculator v2001 software program for evaluation of cardiovascular risk. A total of 486 employees were screened. The percentage of employees with a history of CHD was 7%, diabetes 6.2%, hypertension 45.8%, and high cholesterol 46%. Two or more risk factors for heart disease were present in 29.4% of screened employees. Approximately 9% of employees were receiving medications for hyperlipidemia and 22% receiving medication for hypertension. Despite medication treatment, 35% of employees treated with antihyperlipidemics and 51.6% of employees treated with antihypertensives were not at their desired NCEP or JNC-VI goals. Following the screening, employees received their individual results and cardiovascular risk assessments at a worksite educational program. These cardiovascular risk assessment results will be used by the employer's wellness department to design targeted intervention programs to lower the cardiac risk of their employees.

Historically, some soldiers have not donned or have quickly removed their personal protective respirators because of discomfort, ignorance, or shame. Traditionally, little attention has been paid to this as a readiness issue. Exact numbers of service members who are unable to tolerate their masks are unknown. This phobia can be avoided with adequate training and treated with principles of desensitization; case examples are given of training and other management strategies for phobic military personnel. Still more research is needed in early identification and treatment.

We focus on student attendance, grades, and graduation status, using a propensity weighting technique to adjust for selection into the career academy. Compared to what would have been expected of the same students in the general academic programs of the same schools, career academy students had higher 1st-year grade point averages, higher 1st-year attendance, and higher rates of 4-year graduation in a majority of the implementation schools.

AB - Notes that the goal of neurotechnology is to confer the performance advantages of animal systems on robotic machines. Biomemetic robots differ from traditional robots in that they are agile, relatively cheap, and able to deal with real-world environments. The engineering of these robots requires a thorough understanding of the biological systems on which they are based, at both the biomechanical and physiological levels. This book provides an in-depth overview of the field. The areas covered include myomorphic actuators, which, like animal sensors, represent sensory modalities such as light, pressure, and motion in a labeled-line code; biomimetic controllers, based on the relatively simple control systems of invertebrate animals; and the autonomous behaviors that are based on an animal's selection of behaviors from a species-specific behavioral 'library.' The ultimate goal is to develop a truly autonomous robot, one able to navigate and interact with its environment solely on the basis of sensory feedback without prompting from a human operator.

First, individual molecules were demonstrated that serve as incomprehensibly tiny switches and wires one million times smaller than those on conventional silicon microchips. This has resulted very recently in the assembly and demonstration of tiny computer logic circuits built from such molecular-scale devices.A major force responsible for these revolutionary developments has been the molecular electronics or ‘Moletronics’ Program organized by the US Government''s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Previously, DARPA gave birth to the Internet in the 1970s and 1980s, revolutionizing the way the world communicates. Now, the agency is setting its sights on a new revolution in the nature, structure, and scale of the very materials with which the world both computes and builds. Ultimately, to compute with molecular-scale structures — i.e. nanometer-scale structures — one must learn how to characterize and organize them on similar scales, one by one and in vast arrays. This is creating a whole new science and industry of ‘nanostructured materials’, such as are portrayed in Fig. 1Fig. 1Moletronics nanostructured materials.

The authors argue that this actually helped women and minorities because (1) the advancement process is both well defined and based on merit, and (2) the promotion process looks at everyone. The pay raises that accompanied the AVF made military service competitive with civilian labor market alternatives and provided women and minorities with a viable career choice. They took advantage of this freedom of choice resulting in their ever-increasing representation at all levels of the armed forces.

This network was originally implemented in the 1960s and was known as the Automatic Voice Network. Throughout this time, DISA has used a network design and analysis model to reconfigure the network. This model was developed in the early 1970s, has been continually enhanced, and is used on a weekly basis to engineer and manage the network. Since 1975, it has been used to save the United States (U.S.) government approximately $1,400,000,000.00. In this paper, we present a chronology of its development, enhancement, and use.

AB - Discusses the proactive behavioral health response established at the direction of the Army Surgeon General and the Army behavioral health consultants in psychiatry, psychology, and social work to the September 11, 2001 attack on the Pentagon. The goal was to minimize the short- and long-term adverse behavioral health and related medical effects predicted to emerge based on past US mass casualty scenarios. This article summarizes the goals, methods, and rationale used to develop the plan, as well as the key elements of the behavioral health intervention developed in response to the attack. The primary focus of the intervention was to augment the support available to Pentagon employees and their leaders in their workplaces to help normalize the reactions that people were having to this extremely abnormal event and prevent the development of significant clinical symptoms. Defining most of the intervention work as 'pre-clinical' allowed the mental health professionals (including psychiatrists, social workers, psychologists, mental health nurses, and mental health technicians from different military services) to maximize confidentiality and access in a manner designed to minimize potential stigma and premature 'medicalization' of normal/non-pathological reactions to the attack.

AB - Discusses the implementation and planning of Operation Solace, a post-September 11, 2002 plan directed by the Army Surgeon General to proactively address the predictable behavioral health distress/disorders and related somatic phenomenon expected to occur among the Pentagon employees, family members, and Department of Defense beneficiaries located in the National Capitol Region affected by the terrorist attack. Using well-known and also relatively novel preventive population-based methodologies for minimizing the post-attack behavioral health-related morbidity resulted in the evolution of simplified principles ('Pieces of PIES') and methods (Therapy by Walking around and Care Management), which are briefly elaborated in this article. Lessons learned include the need to retain a preventive, preclinical, population-informed approach; to intervene to prevent acute and chronic behavioral health problems and multiple unexplained physical symptoms/syndromes; to ensure risk communications; to consult with leaders; to enhance group cohesiveness; and to make good contacts with everyone.

Multi-market welfare estimates were 75% larger than estimates based on the price-exogenous ‘change in revenue’ method frequently used by plant breeders. Annual benefits of these genetic improvements range from US$ 400–600 million depending on the supply shift specification. Of this, 44–60% accrues to the US, 24–34% accrues to other developed countries. Developing and transitional economies capture 16–22% of the welfare gain. The global benefits of a one-time permanent increase in US yields are US$ 8.1 billion (discounted at 10%) and US$ 15.4 billion (discounted at 5%).

Tangled polycrystalline as well as aligned single-crystalline boron nanowires (BNWs) have been obtained and their growth mechanism investigated at different growth temperatures, cooling rates, and vapor sources. The growth temperature was found critical to the nucleation of the BNWs and different growth modes were observed in different temperature ranges. The temperature ramping rate in the cooling process after the high-temperature growth of the BNWs was found crucial for the formation of crystalline structures and for controlling the alignment of BNWs. We have observed that slow cooling at 1–5 °C/min resulted in non-textured BNWs, while fast cooling at ∼90 °C/min induced crystallization of the non-textured BNWs. We have also found that the alignment of the BNWs depended on the cooling rate. At a slow cooling rate the BNWs were heavily tangled while at a higher cooling rate they aligned well with the normal of the substrate. By manipulating the growth parameters, we have obtained two types of nanowire junctions. One was via fusing two nanowires together and the other, via joining them with another material.

With Ga[sub x]In[sub 1-x] type interface engineering techniques, the mismatch between the superlattices and the GaSb (001) substrate has been reduced to <0.1%. There is no evidence of dislocations using the best examination tools of x-ray, atomic force microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The full width half maximum of the photoluminescence peak at 11 K was ∼4.5 meV using an Ar[sup +] ion laser (514 nm) at fluent power of 140 mW. The integrated photoluminescence intensity was linearly dependent on the fluent laser power from 2.2 to 140 mW at 11 K. The temperature-dependent photoluminescence measurement revealed a characteristic temperature of one T[sub 1]=245 K at sample temperatures below 160 K with fluent power of 70 mW, and T[sub 1]=203 K for sample temperatures above 180 K with fluent power of 70 and 420 mW. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

As information security is paramount to accurate financial reporting and the provision of timely and relevant managerial accounting reports for decision-making, the issue of sharing information on computer systems security has direct relevance to accounting, as well as to public policy. This paper presents a model to examine the welfare economic implications of this movement. In the absence of information sharing, each firm independently sets its information security expenditures at a level where the marginal benefits equal the marginal costs. It is shown that when information is shared, each firm reduces the amount spent on information security activities. Nevertheless, information sharing can lead to an increased level of information security. The paper provides necessary and sufficient conditions for information sharing to lead to an increased (decreased) level of information security. The level of information security that would be optimal for a firm in the absence of information sharing can be attained by the firm at a lesser cost when computer security information is shared. Hence, sharing provides benefits to each firm and total welfare also increases. However, in the absence of appropriate incentive mechanisms, each firm will attempt to free ride on the security expenditures of other firms (i.e., renege from the sharing agreement and refuse to share information). This latter situation results in the underinvestment of information security. Thus, appropriate incentive mechanisms are necessary for increases in both firm-level profits and social welfare to be realized from information sharing arrangements.

The common requirements are (1) the accurate delivery of the modality and (2) the functional importance of targeting the biologic basis rather than the anatomic structure—hence the term biosurgery. As more of these therapies achieve clinical applicability and FDA approval, there will be the need for the precision of delivery to be at the micro- and nanoscale, which is well beyond human physical limitations. The surgeon of the future must be able to identify those therapeutic modalities that would benefit from such exact placement or implantation and acquire the skills, training, and equipment to use surgical expertise to deliver these new modalities. A review of some of the emerging opportunities is presented. Ignoring these challenges will relinquish these new procedures to other nonsurgical interventionalists, perhaps to the detriment of patient safety.

JO - Health Physics JF - Health Physics Y1 - 2003/12// VL - 85 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 721 EP - 732 SN - 00179078 AB - The purpose of this paper is to assist those who might be confronted by non-normal and non-homoscedastic error distributions representable by continuous probability density functions. Methods are presented to demonstrate how mathematical algorithms can be developed to obtain a "best fit" calibration line and how uncertainty ranges in interpretations of unknowns can be obtained from the calibration. The data used to demonstrate these methods were obtained from Brookhaven National Laboratory fission track analysis data for plutonium in urine. Examination of the variability in the fission track analysis data, during the period of time that the demonstration data were collected, revealed that the deviations from the mean were neither normal nor lognormal, but the ratios of tracks divided by the median at each plutonium level were lognormally distributed. Consequently, the differences between the logarithms of observed tracks and the median were normally distributed. The new "best fit" line was obtained by minimizing a reduced chi-square statistic made up of the squared differences in logarithms, divided by the variance in logarithms and degrees of freedom. Thus, to detect a worker urine sample to be above the 58-person "control" population 95 percentile [about 3.2 µBq (85 aCi)] at the 95% probability level (0.05 Type H error) would now require an average of about 11 µBq (300 aCi) per sample, compared to 5 µBq per sample (132 aCi per sample) in a previous paper. This paper presents the algorithms used to obtain the new calibration line and the uncertainty distributions of interpretations at various analyte levels. The importance of maintaining process control over the statistical interpretation of bioassay data as well as for the radiochemical procedures for achieving the lowest feasible level of detection is demonstrated.

The U.S. Navy's development of effective carrier aviation before World War II illustrates the process of change. Ideally, the development charts for carriers and carrier aircraft would show all the separate developments in aviation technology, carrier design and flight deck procedures blending over time to create a very real carrier strike capability. But the progress will neither be smooth nor certain. KW - AERONAUTICS KW - AIR pilots KW - UNITED States -- Defenses KW - UNITED States KW - UNITED States. Dept. of Defense KW - UNITED States.

Compared to unpassivated detectors, zero-bias resistance of treated 400 μm×400 μm devices with 8 μm cutoff wavelength was improved by over an order of magnitude to ∼20 kΩ at 80 K. Reverse-bias dark current density was reduced by approximately two orders of magnitude to less than 10 mA/cm[sup 2] at -2 V. Dark current modeling, which takes into account trap-assisted tunneling, indicates greater than 70 times reduction in bulk trap density for passivated detectors. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Photoresponse was observed at temperatures above 200 K with a peak wavelength of 4.7 μm and cutoff wavelength of 5.2 μm. The background limited performance temperature was 140 K, and this was attributed to the super low dark current observed in this QDIP. A detectivity of 3.6×10[sup 10] cm Hz[sup 1/2]/W, which is comparable to the state-of-the-art quantum well infrared photodetectors in a similar wavelength range, was obtained for this InGaAs/InGaP QDIP at both T=77 K and T=95 K at biases of -1.6 and -1.4 V, respectively. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Laparoscopic surgery is just the simplest and first of these new directions. Robotic surgery and image-guided therapy are the next generation. As biosurgery and other modalities are introduced, the complexity will increase exponentially. In order to understand and utilize the new technologies, surgeons need to be grounded in the science of systems integration.

This paper reports on the adaptation of this system to permit its rapid deployment in support of a variety of civilian and military emergency-response applications. The innovation that allows for this rapid deployment is an intuitive graphical user interface that permits a non-expert to quickly configure the model for a new application, and launch the forecast system to produce operational products without further intervention. The graphical interface is Web based and can be run on a wireless laptop or a personal digital assistant in the field. The instructions for configuring the modeling system are transmitted to a compute engine [generally a personal computer (PC) cluster], and forecast products are placed on a Web site that can be accessed by emergency responders or other forecast users. This system has been used operationally for predicting the potential transport and dispersion of hazardous material during the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah, and during military operations in Afghanistan. It has also been used operationally to satisfy the rapidly evolving needs of wildfire managers. Continued use of the modeling system by nonexperts will allow developers to refine the graphical interface and make the model and the interface more fault tolerant with respect to the decisions of model users. * The National Center for Atmospheric Research is sponsored by the National Science Foundation [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society is the property of American Meteorological Society and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

We previously described the development of a novel technology that utilizes in vitro site-specific recombination to provide a robust and flexible platform for high-throughput cloning and transfer of DNA segments. By using an expanded repertoire of recombination sites with unique specificities, we have extended the technology to enable the high-efficiency in vitro assembly and concerted cloning of multiple DNA segments into a vector backbone in a predefined order, orientation, and reading frame. The efficiency and flexibility of this approach enables collections of functional elements to be generated and mixed in a combinatorial fashion for the parallel assembly of numerous multi-segment constructs. The assembled constructs can be further manipulated by directing exchange of defined segments with alternate DNA segments. In this report, we demonstrate feasibility of the technology and application to the generation of fusion proteins, the linkage of promoters to genes, and the assembly of multiple protein domains. The technology has broad implications for cell and protein engineering, the expression of multidomain proteins, and gene function analysis.

The rationale for forming electrical contacts with low specific contact resistivity is provided. Characterization of the specific contact resistivity was performed using a transmission line technique. Using a procedure discussed in this letter, specific contact resistivity measurements as low as 7×10-8 Ω cm2 have been obtained and demonstrate the feasibility of a class of highly integrated IV–VI device technology.

JO - Business Communications Review JF - Business Communications Review Y1 - 2004/12// VL - 34 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 27 EP - 32 PB - UBM Tech Web SN - 01623885 AB - This article discusses various issues related to multi-protocol label switching (MPLS), user to network interface (UNI), and end-to-end quality of service (QOS) in relation to Internet service. MPLS has evolved away from its original purpose of improving router performance, to its current role of optimizing and enhancing carrier backbones. Existing MPLS specifications already allow service providers (SPs) to meet two necessary conditions for QOS: guaranteeing the bandwidth of label switched paths (LSPs) and providing differentiated processing of packets associated with LSPs. However, additional capabilities are needed so that QOS can be applied end-to-end across multiple networks and network domains. Access links are frequently to blame when users perceive inadequate QOS. The primary bench to the enterprise of the proposed MPLS UNI is that it will unify and simplify end-to-end QOS. The main feature of the MPLS UNI is an MPLS LSP between the customer edge device (CE) and the provider edge device. The MPLS UNI LSP connection capability is an LSP-based approach for creating easily configurable CE-to-CE paths, with the sending CE taking charge of the admission.

The use of a mode-locked laser pulse train to minimize jitter has been previously reported; in such previous study, the laser pulses are converted to electrical pulses through photoconduction. Here, we report initial results on a technique in which the conversion is performed by photoelectron emission. The electron pulse train serves as the sampling comb and is emitted from a photocathode illuminated by 266-nm 1.3-ps laser pulses. Each pulse is deflected by the analog voltage applied at a pair of miniature deflector plates to land on a code plate made up of an array of electron detectors. We report results of sampling and quantizing at 100 Gs/s using a metal photocathode. Our measurements indicate that our analog-to-digital converter achieves a 3-bit resolution. Experiments are now underway that employ 200-fs 730-nm pulses and an AIGaAs/GaAs photocathode and should show at least 4-bit resolution at 100 Gs/s.

To achieve higher device reliability and lower cost, monolithic FPAs with Si based readout integrated circuits (ROICs) are the trend of the future development. In this paper, two approaches for monolithic FPAs are proposed: double sided integration and selective epitaxy integration. For comparison, the fabrication process for hybrid quantum well infrared photodetectors (QWIP) FPAs are also described. Many problems, such as the growth of QWIPs on Si substrate and processing incompatibility between Si and III–V semiconductors, need to be solved before monolithic FPAs can be realized. Experimental work on GaInAs/InP QWIP-on-Si is given in this paper. A record high detectivity of 2.3 × 109 cm Hz1/2/W was obtained for one QWIP-on-Si detector at 77 K.

AB - This volume brings together a comprehensive and diverse collection of research, theory and thought that serves as the basis for the new field of Augmented Cognition research and development. The goal of Augmented Cognition research is to create revolutionary human-computer interactions that capitalize on recent advances in the fields of neuroscience, cognitive science and computer science. Augmented Cognition can be distinguished from its predecessors by the focus on the real-time cognitive state of the user, as assessed through modern neuroscientific tools. At its core, an Augmented Cognition system is a 'closed loop' in which the cognitive state of the operator is detected in real time with a resulting compensatory adaptation in the computational system, as appropriate.

Superlattice with a period of 40 Å lattice matched to GaSb was realized using GaxIn1-x type interface engineering technique. Compared with significantly longer period superlattices, we have reduced the dark current density under reverse bias dramatically. For a 3 μm thick structure, using sulfide-based passivation, the dark current density reached 2.6×10-5 A/cm2 at -3 V reverse bias at 77 K. At this temperature the photodiodes have R0A of 9300 Ω cm2 and a thermally limited zero bias detectivity of 1×1012 cm Hz1/2/W. The 90%–10% cutoff energy width was only 16.5 meV. The devices did not show significant dark current change at 77 K after three months storage in the atmosphere.

The tests, conducted on the Double-EAGLE simulator at ∼3.5-MA peak current, utilized a 12-cm-diameter double-shell nozzle that was designed for use with the 300-us rise-lime current pulse (4 MA) of the DECADE QUAD pulsed power machine. By varying the plena gas pressures of the inner and outer shells, the net radial distribution could be changed from one that was strongly concentrated near the axis to one more broadly distributed as a function of radius. Previous work has shown that a roughly uniform radial distribution gives higher X-ray output than shell-like flows for gas Z-pinches. The present work was focused on refining the optimum radial distribution and to establish benchmarks for modeling calculations. The present data show that the K-shell yield has a broad optimum (and the relative strength of the K continuum >4 keV systematically changes) as the mass distribution becomes more peaked near the axis. Very-high-quality K-emitting volumes (3 to <6 MA. JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2006/01/05/ VL - 808 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 163 EP - 168 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - There is strong interest in many laboratories worldwide in utilizing less expensive, longer rise-time (> 200 ns) pulsed power to drive x-ray producing z-pinches. Based on the idea of a magnetically-driven annular implosion, the emission of K-shell photons requires high energy per ion (implosion velocity above 43 cm/μs for argon) to strip the atoms to the helium-like and hydrogen-like states. This high velocity must be combined with high density in the final hot plasma to produce significant x-ray yield. To first order, implosion velocity correlates with the initial diameter of the z-pinch load in proportion to the implosion time. Thus some effort has been made in the last few years to develop larger diameter z-pinch loads suitable for use with the longer rise-time drivers. Advancing from the <4 cm diameter loads (used for 100 ns implosions) of a decade ago, progress with 8 cm loads was reported at the last DZP meeting. Here we review further progress with 12 cm loads as used to date at peak currents of 3.5 MA to almost 6 MA with >200 ns implosion times. The most interesting result is that implosions from 12 cm diameter have not proven hopelessly unstable. High quality pinches with few millimeter K-shell emitting diameters, <5 ns pulse widths, electron temperatures above 1.7 keV and ion densities >4*1019/cm3 have been achieved. The observed argon K yield has equaled simple scaling estimates that ignore the expected increase in instabilities for large initial diameters. This more stable result probably occurs because we are using radial mass distributions that are “snowplow” stabilized, i.e., they are not shell-like but rather have smoothly varying mass with the radial density gradient, dρ/dr small or negative over much of the gas flow. Data on yield as a function of the radial distribution suggest that a near or on-axis peak in the initial gas density is probably optimal. Work remains to be done to establish the details of the “best” mass distribution. © 2006 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

T1 - High Yield Argon Z-pinch Results with a Large Diameter Nozzle. JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2006/01/05/ VL - 808 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 173 EP - 176 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - We modified our original 12 cm diameter double-shell gas puff nozzle to include an on-axis jet with a large diameter throat and an independent plenum to allow a large fraction of the total mass to be contained in the central region (r=0–1.5 cm). By judicious selection of pressures for the jet and the two shells, we were able to double the Argon K-shell yield from ∼10 kJ to > 20 kJ with a 3.5 MA current drive and implosion time of ∼205 ns, equivalent to the yield produced at 100 ns implosion time, but with half the pulse-width, for radiated K-shell power up to 2 TW. The radiation produced by gas originating in each of the three plenums was distinguished by the use of a chlorine tracer introduced sequentially into each plenum. We thereby deduce that 65% of the K-shell radiation is produced by gas originating in the jet, 30% from gas originating in the inner shell and only 5% from gas originating in the outer shell. The flexibility of the hardware was further exercised by selectively evacuating one of the three plenums. We were thus able to demonstrate the crucial role of the inner shell in stabilizing the implosion of the outer shell gas before impinging on the central jet. Furthermore, by leaving off the outer shell gas to simulate a 6 cm diameter single-shell on jet nozzle, we demonstrated high yield at long implosion time without as large a nozzle as previously required. This research points the way to improved nozzles for long pulse drivers that eliminate the long implosion time (Y∼1/τ) penalty and opens the possibility of practical higher atomic number gas puff experiments on existing drivers. © 2006 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics JF - IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics Y1 - 2006/04// VL - 53 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 450 EP - 457 SN - 02780046 AB - An extensive experimental investigation of a 40-hp ac drive was conducted with the focus on mitigation of the acoustic and electromagnetic noise, and vibration, by means of random pulsewidth modulation (RPWM) employed in the drive's inverter. The drive was a laboratory model of an electric propulsion system for naval vessels, particularly electric submarines, in which the noise mitigation is crucial for survivability. Three PWM methods were compared: 1) the classic deterministic PWM, characterized by a constant switching period equal to the sampling period of the digital modulator; 2) the known RPWM technique, referred to as RPWM I, in which the switching and sampling periods are varied simultaneously in a random manner; and 3) a novel RPWM method, referred to as RPWM II, with a constant sampling period and the switching periods randomly varied around an average value equal to the sampling period. The experimental results have confirmed the mitigating properties of RPWM with respect to the acoustic and electromagnetic noise, and vibration. Because of the fixed sampling frequency, the RPWM II technique is technically more convenient than the classic RPWM I method and only marginally less effective in flattening the peaks of noise spectra. Importantly, conclusions drawn from the described study are valid for ac drives in general.

SEA, a 27 kDa monomeric protein, is encoded by the entA gene. We have developed two real-time fluorogenic PCR assays for the detection of nucleic acid sequences in entA. The assays are useful in detecting and identifying strains of S. aureus that produce SEA and can serve a confirmatory role in determining the presence of SEA in food samples. The assays were tested in two real-time PCR formats, using either dye-labeled DNA probes corresponding to each primer set that are degraded by the 5′ exonuclease activity of Taq polymerase, or a PCR master mix that contains the DNA-binding dye SYBR Green. In both formats the assays have a limit of detection of between 1 and 13 copies of a S. aureus genome that contains a copy of entA. Neither assay cross-reacted with genomic DNA isolated from other strains of S. aureus or other species.

Several of the changes are discussed, such as the growing prevalence of privatization and outsourcing, as well as the increasing availability of e-books and e-journals, and the impact these have on collection development and composition. The increasing desire on the part of government customers to achieve some method and manner of information security are highlighted, along with ways in which government libraries may meet this need. And, finally, this paper suggests that budgets will continue to be unstable for at least the next several years, and recommends ways in which vendors and government customers may mitigate the resulting effects.

These developments provide designers of advanced sensor systems an unprecedented degree of flexibility when implementing next generation adaptive sensor systems. In the case of radar, this has been manifested in the first ever, real-time, KA space-time adaptive processing (KA-STAP) system for advanced clutter/interference suppression. This paper provides exemplars of real-world effects giving rise to the need for "intelligent" adaptation schemes and overviews the KA approach to sensor signal processing in some detail. Moreover, we survey a collection of papers describing recent KA sensor research that follow in this issue.

Density ratios considered are typical of those that appear in explosive-metal interactions. The work is motivated by the desire to eliminate numerical artifacts from degrading solutions of problems involving explosive initiation and spall. We observe that incorporating aspects of the Riemann solution into the SPH pair-wise interpolation scheme improves the results significantly. DPD results are superior. © 2006 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The initial gas distribution produced by this nozzle has been determined and related to measured plasma dynamics during the implosion run-in phase. The role of two gas shells and the center jet are elucidated by the inclusion of a tracer element sequentially into each of the three independent plenums and by evacuating each plenum. The implosion dynamics and radiative characteristics of the Z pinches are presented.

JO - Applied & Environmental Microbiology JF - Applied & Environmental Microbiology Y1 - 2006/09// VL - 72 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 6355 EP - 6363 SN - 00992240 AB - Differentially expressed and immunogenic spore proteins of the Bacillus cereus group of bacteria, which includes Bacillus anthracis, Bacillus cereus, and Bacillus thuringiensis, were identified. Comparative proteomic profiling of their spore proteins distinguished the three species from each other as well as the virulent from the avirulent strains. A total of 458 proteins encoded by 232 open reading frames were identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry analysis for all the species. A number of highly expressed proteins, including elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu), elongation factor G, 60-kDa chaperonin, enolase, pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, and others exist as charge variants on two-dimensional gels. These charge variants have similar masses but different isoelectric points. The majority of identified proteins have cellular roles associated with energy production, carbohydrate transport and metabolism, amino acid transport and metabolism, posttranslational modifications, and translation. Novel vaccine candidate proteins were identified using B. anthracis polyclonal antisera from humans postinfected with cutaneous anthrax. Fifteen immunoreactive proteins were identified in B. anthracis spores, whereas 7, 14, and 7 immunoreactive proteins were identified for B. cereus and in the virulent and avirulent strains of B. thuringiensis spores, respectively. Some of the immuno-dominant antigens include charge variants of EF-Tu, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, dihydrolipoamide acetyltransferase, Δ-1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate dehydrogenase, and a dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase. Alanine racemase and neutral protease were uniquely immunogenic to B. anthracis. Comparative analysis of the spore immunome will be of significance for further nucleic acid- and immuno-based detection systems as well as next-generation vaccine development.

Several of the changes are discussed, such as the growing prevalence of privatization and outsourcing, as well as the increasing availability of e-books and e-journals, and the impact these have on collection development and composition. Tile increasing desire on the part of government customers to achieve some method and manner of information security are highlighted, along with ways in which government libraries may meet this need. And, finally, this paper suggests that budgets will continue to be unstable for at least the next several years, and recommends ways in which vendors and government customers may mitigate the resulting effects.

Axial measurements show that, despite differences in the XUV and K-shell emission time histories, the K-shell x-ray yield is insensitive to axial variations in load mass.

It relates that anisodamine is a non-selective cholinergic antagonist structurally related to atropine and scopolamine. Most of its pharmacological effects is said to be less toxic and less potent than atropine and displays less central nervous system toxicity than scopalamine. In contrast to atropine, it was observed to depress cardiac conduction and has anti-arrhythmic properties. It was taken into account that the primary therapeutic use of anisodamine was for treatment of septic shock probably related to its ability to increase blood flow through the microcirculation via a mechanism that remains to be elucidated.

AB - The Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) initiative was undertaken to make education, training, and lifelong learning accessible at any time, anywhere. It has developed specifications and techniques that are being adopted globally by governments, businesses, and schools. Although ADL currently focuses on government and business applications, it has significant implications for the classroom structures, processes, and activities of K-16 education. The authors describe the ADL initiative and its implications for K-16 education and call for increased attention from educators and education researchers to the opportunities and challenges represented by anytime, anywhere, distributed learning.

The MWIR QWIP detector array has demonstrated a noise equivalent differential temperature (NEΔT) of 17mK at a 95K operating temperature with f/2.5 optics at 300K background and the LWIR detector array has demonstrated a NEΔT of 13mK at a 70K operating temperature with the same optical and background conditions as the MWIR detector array after the subtraction of system noise. Both MWIR and LWIR focal planes have shown background limited performance (BLIP) at 90K and 70K operating temperatures respectively, with similar optical and background conditions. In addition, we have demonstrated MWIR and LWIR pixel co-registered simultaneously readable dualband QWIP focal plane arrays. In this paper, we will discuss the performance in terms of quantum efficiency, NEΔT, uniformity, operability, and modulation transfer functions of the 1024×1024 pixel arrays and the progress of dualband QWIP focal plane array development work.

AB - There is, without question, an interest within the military services to understand, account for, and adapt to the cognitive state of the individual warfighter. As the field of neuroscience has matured through investments from numerous government agencies, we are on the cusp of being able to move confidently from the lab into the field--and deepen our understanding of the cognitive issues embedded in the warfighting environment. However, as we edge closer to this integration--it is critical for researchers in this arena to understand the landscape they are entering--reflected not only in the challenges of each task or operational environment but also in the individual differences intrinsic to each warfighter. The research papers in this section cover this spectrum, including individual differences and their prediction of adaptability to high-stress environments, the influence of sleep-deprivation on neurophysiological measures of stimulus categorization, neurophysiological measures of stress in the training environment and, finally, real-time neural measures of task engagement, mental workload and vigilance. It is clear from this research, and other work detailed in this supplement, that the judicious use of neuroscience, cognitive psychology, and physiology in the applied environment is desirable for both researchers and operators. In fact, we suggest that these investigations merit a field designation unto their own: Operational Neuroscience. It is our hope that the discussion of this new field of study will galvanize others to increase the confidence and utility of this research through their own investigations.

The single-leg ground reaction forces of running insects such as the cockroach B. discoidalis provide valuable insight into the biomechanical basis for this rapid robust locomotion. To better study the running kinematics and biomechanics of these insects, a multiaxis silicon micromachined force sensor has been fabricated. The sensor consists of a 5.3-mm square plate that is supported at its corners by thin springlike beam elements. Each flexure beam is instrumented with two piezoresistive strain gauges, allowing the determination of both normal and inplane bending force components. Typical unamplified normal and in-plane flexure force sensitivities of 55 and 12 V/N, respectively, have been demonstrated for a sensor with 18-μm-thick flexures and a mechanical bandwidth of 1.3 kHz. Nominal normal force resolution is 2.2 nN/Hz1/2 at 1 kHz. This paper details the design, fabrication, calibration, performance, and analytical modeling of the first-generation micromachined ground reaction force sensor. Preliminary data obtained from running cockroaches show that this sensor represents a marked improvement in performance over the techniques previously available for studying small-animal biomechanics.

Cole, September 11, Hurricane Katrina, the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, and the possibility of an avian flu pandemic) may occur, interagency information sharing and collaboration is essential to mitigating effects of these types of catastrophic events. The Maritime Domain Awareness Data Sharing Community of Interest (MDA DS COI) pilot demonstrated a net-centric data sharing capability as a first step towards addressing the common challenge of global identification and tracking of maritime vessels, cargo, and crew usage of existing information sources to better secure our coasts, ports, and waterways. This Department of Defense (DoD), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and Department of Transportation (DOT) partnership developed capabilities to expose maritime data as a consumable Web-enabled service to authorized, unanticipated users employing community-based agreements defining a common vocabulary and data sharing services. This COI pilot also leveraged enterprise services resulting in a repeatable process, an extensible vocabulary, and reusable services available for developing responsive, agile solutions for any number of data sharing challenges.

The many different types of negative ion sources available today differ in their characteristics and abilities to produce anions of various species. Thus the importance of choosing the correct type of negative ion source for a particular research or industrial application is clear. In this study, the results of an investigation on the production of beams composed of negatively-charged rare-earth ions from a cylindrical-cathode-geometry, cesium-sputter-type negative ion source are presented. Beams of atomic anions have been observed for most of the first-row rare-earth elements, with typical currents ranging from hundreds of picoamps to several nanoamps.

AB - In this paper, we introduce a new approach to Programming-by-Demonstration in which the author is allowed to explicitly edit the procedure model produced by the learning algorithm while demonstrating the task. We describe Augmentation-Based Learning, a new algorithm that supports this approach by considering both demonstrations and edits as constraints on the hypothesis space, and resolving conflicts in favor of edits.

The Bacillus subtilis spoVB, spoVD and spoVE gene products are expressed in the mother cell compartment early during sporulation and play roles in cortex synthesis. Here we show that mutations in these genes block synthesis of cortex peptidoglycan and cause accumulation of peptidoglycan precursors, indicating a defect at the earliest steps of peptidoglycan polymerization. Loss of spoIV gene products involved in activation of later, σK-dependent mother cell gene expression results in decreased synthesis of cortex peptidoglycan, even in the presence of the SpoV proteins that were synthesized earlier, apparently due to decreased precursor production. Data show that activation of σK is required for increased synthesis of the soluble peptidoglycan precursors, and Western blot analyses show that increases in the precursor synthesis enzymes MurAA, MurB, MurC and MurF are dependent on σK activation. Overall, our results indicate that a decrease in peptidoglycan precursor synthesis during early sporulation, followed by renewed precursor synthesis upon σK activation, serves as a regulatory mechanism for the timing of spore cortex synthesis.

It indicates that by coating ZnO nanobelts using a polymer which exhibits a large UV absorption peak, the UV induced photoconductance has risen by five orders of magnitude. It shows that UV response of ZnO NB is largely enhanced. It suggests that this development can have outstanding applications in photonics and optoelectronics.

Panning these antibodies against evolutionary phage libraries identified reactive peptides capable of inhibiting its parent monoclonal from binding to B. pseudomallei. Mice immunized with peptide conjugated to thyroglobulin developed serum antibodies capable of recognizing the immunizing peptide of which a subset recognized exopolysaccharide in the context of whole B. pseudomallei cells. These serum antibodies recognized protease treated B. pseudomallei but not B. thailandensis suggesting that these peptides are mimotopes of the B. pseudomallei capsular exopolysaccharide. In a murine model of acute melioidosis, immunization with the mimotope of the 4VA5 binding site extended the mean time to death to 8.00 days over the 2.18 days afforded by immunization with thyroglobulin alone. This mimotope may be of use in developing an antibody response against B. pseudomallei exopolysaccharide.

Following irradiation, the gate and drain currents increase at low temperatures and reach a saturation level. The gate leakage currents do not fully account for the drain current increase. Following a room temperature anneal, the gate and drain currents return to pre-irradiation levels. These results are explained by the buildup of positive charge in the AlGaN layer at low temperature and traps formed via a complexing precursor in the AlGaN layer near the interface. The positive charge increases the carrier concentration in the 2DEG and hence the drain current. The traps act as trap-assisted-tunneling centers that increase the gate leakage current.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2007/12/12/ VL - 955 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 127 EP - 132 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - Hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane (CL-20) is one of the few ingredients developed since World War II to be considered for transition to military use. Five polymorphs have been identified for CL-20 by FTIR measurements (α, β, γ, [variant_greek_epsilon], ζ). As CL-20 is transitioned into munitions it will become necessary to predict its response under conditions of detonation, for performance evaluation. Such predictive modeling requires a phase diagram and basic thermodynamic properties of the various phases at high pressure and temperature. Therefore, the epsilon and gamma phases of CL-20 at static high-pressure and temperature were investigated using synchrotron angle-dispersive x-ray diffraction experiments. The samples were compressed and heated using diamond anvil cells (DAC). Pressures and temperatures achieved were around 5 GPa and 240 °C, respectively. The epsilon phase was stable to 6.3 GPa at ambient temperature. When heated at ambient pressure the epsilon phase was sustained to a temperature of 120 °C then underwent a transition to the gamma phase above 125 °C and then thermal decomposition occurred above 150 °C. Upon compression, the gamma phase underwent a phase transition at both ambient temperature and 140 °C. Pressure—volume data for the epsilon and gamma phase at ambient temperature and the epsilon phase at 75 °C were fit to the Birch-Murnaghan formalism to obtain isothermal equations of state.

Postmortem analysis of the spherical powder shows that while average size does not significantly change, surface morphology is no longer spherical but sharp edged with evidence of shear and particle break-up. A similar analysis for flakes shows break down to finer particles one order less than the original flake size. This suggests that the oxide layer was damaged and that bare aluminum was exposed, thus increasing aluminum particle sensitivity to reaction.

Those species making decisions in this way survive, and those which do not tend towards extinction. This process appears to follow a decreasing marginal utility trend with a logarithmic probability distribution, which is identical to Benford's Law. This suggests that Benford's Law is a descriptive statistic of this natural selection process. Additionally, the customers of the Defense Security Cooperation Agency's foreign military sales program presumably also attempt to optimize their survival utility, and exhibit purchasing patterns correlating strongly with Benford's Law. The purpose of this paper is to examine how a mathematical phenomenon, Benford's Law, may prove to be a useful means of understanding the buying behavior of DSCA's foreign customers. This paper also suggests an informal proof of Benford's Law.

M3 - Article SP - 486 EP - 486 SN - 00011452 AB - In the present study, the effects of large-scale periodic surface roughness on a high-speed (M = 2.86), high Reynolds number (Reϑ ≈ 60; 000), supersonic turbulent boundary layer was examined. Two roughness topologies (square and diamond) were compared with an aerodynamically smooth wall. The measurements included planar contours of the mean and fluctuating velocity, pitot pressure profiles, pressure-sensitive paint, and schlieren photography. The local strain-rate distortion parameters for the square roughness pattern were small (~ - 0.01), and the mean and turbulent flow properties followed the canonical rough-wall boundary-layer trends. The diamond-shaped roughness topology produced a pattern of attached oblique shocks and expansion waves that led to strong distortion parameters. The distortions varied from -0.3 to 0.4 across the roughness elements, which resulted in localized extra turbulence production that generated large periodic variations in the turbulence levels across individual roughness elements that spanned the boundary-layer thickness; for example, the Reynolds shear stress varied by ~100%. This result demonstrated a mechanism for altering the turbulence in supersonic boundary layers.

In the period leading to the recent Institute of Medicine report on the future of drug safety, representatives from industry were given an opportunity to provide input into this report. In light of continuing concerns about drug safety and pending legislation, this original perspective provides an important context. Methods This work consolidates the views of representatives of individual pharmaceutical companies; the large industry trade associations, the Pharmaceutical Researchers and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) and the Biotechnology Industry Association (BIO); and those of the authors with regard to the industry role of drug safety in the United States. Results To ensure continued protection of the public's health, manufacturers must recognize themselves as critical to ensuring safe products; maintain corporate safety functions separate from marketing functions; provide oversight by a senior medical executive; engage in structured epidemiological research, risk assessment, and risk communication; and mandate the formation and maintenance of an internal, interdisciplinary, senior level safety council. Conclusions The importance of aggressive and accountable drug safety will only become more salient as the public and their elected representatives demand better accountability from industry. Individual corporations now have the opportunity to move first to counter perceptions of profit over safety and to ensure that their business practices adequately protect the public's health.

In this paper, direct observations of the Rayleigh–Taylor instability mitigation of a 12-cm diameter, 200-ns implosion time argon Z-pinch using a laser shearing interferometer (LSI) and a laser wavefront analyzer (LWA) are presented. Using a zero-dimensional snowplow model, the imploding plasma trajectories are calculated with the driver current waveforms and the initial mass distributions measured using the planar laser induced fluorescence method. From the LSI and LWA images, the plasma density and trajectory during the implosion are measured. The measured trajectory agrees with the snowplow calculations. The suppression of hydromagnetic instabilities in the “pusher-stabilizer-radiator” structured loads, leading to a high-compression ratio, high-yield Z-pinch, is discussed. For comparison, the LSI and LWA images of an alternative load (without stabilizer) show the evolution of a highly unstable Z-pinch.

The devices can be operated as two diodes for simultaneous detection or as a single n-i-p-p-i-n detector for sequential detection. In the latter configuration, the QEs at 5.3 and 8.5 μm were measured as high as 40% and 39% at 77 K.

The methodologies employ classical optimization techniques to iteratively determine both the transponder gain of each subchannel and the transmit powers of the participating terminals. Given the transponder behavior with nonhomogeneous gain state, interference, and intermodulation (IM), efficient loading algorithms are devised to solve the optimal subchannel gains and link transmission powers based on the developed analytical methods. The optimal satellite loading can be achieved in a finite number of iterations to minimize the combined satellite and terminals powers simultaneously and to close involved links. A practical example in computing the optimum gains and transmission powers is also presented.

Implemented in the COLUMBUS suite of programs, the method advances several new capabilities for evaluating systems involving several electronic spin states, relativistic effects and spin–orbit coupling. The method has been evaluated on several types of systems including carbon monoxide, bromine, bromine fluoride, and uranium +4, uranium +5 and uranyl 2+ ions. The method delivers a high level of experimental consistency with absolute accuracies ranging from 11% to 22%. A reduction in relative error ranging from 11% to 42% is observed for the new method when compared with time dependent density functional theory (TDDFT). The new approach provides a significant improvement in computational effort for comparable MRCI calculations with an observed reduction of expansion size by factors up to 64.

The force-displacement behavior is interpreted within a framework of nonlinear elastic stress-strain response, and yields second- and third-order elastic stiffnesses of 340 newtons per meter (N m-1) and -690 N m-1, respectively. The breaking strength is 42 N m-1 and represents the intrinsic strength of a defect-free sheet. These quantities correspond to a Young's modulus of E = 1.0 terapascals, third-order elastic stiffness of D = -2.0 terapascals, and intrinsic strength of σint = 130 gigapascals for bulk graphite. These experiments establish graphene as the strongest material ever measured, and show that atomically perfect nanoscale materials can be mechanically tested to deformations well beyond the linear regime.

Systematic experiments were carried out to investigate the effect of growth parameters to the quality of the nanowires. In addition, the growth of nanowalls connecting individual aligned nanowires was studied and a growth mechanism was proposed. These conductive and interconnected nanowalls are indispensable for nanodevices to be fabricated on nonconductive substrates for serving as a common electrode. Finally, these nanowire arrays have been integrated as ultra violet detectors, which show good optical performance.

JO - Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems JF - Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems Y1 - 2008/08// VL - 17 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 837 EP - 849 SN - 10577157 AB - A radioisotope power generator with a potential lifetime of decades is demonstrated by employing a 100.3-year half-lifetime 63Ni radioisotope thin-film source to electrostatically actuate and cause reciprocation in a microfabricated piezoelectric unimorph cantilever. The radioisotope direct-charged electrostatic actuation of the piezoelectric unimorph cantilever results in the conversion of radiation energy into mechanical energy stored in the strained unimorph cantilever. The gradual accumulation of the actuation charges leads to the pull-in of the unimorph cantilever into the radioisotope thin-film, and the resulting discharge leads to vibrations in the unimorph cantilever. During the vibrations, the stored mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy by the piezoelectric thin-film. The generator was realized by using both microfabricated lead zirconate titanate oxide-silicon (PZT-Si) and aluminum nitride-silicon (AIN-Si) unimorph cantilevers. The radioisotope direct-charged electrostatic actuation of the AIN-Si unimorph cantilevers by a 2.9-mCi 63Ni thin-film radiating 0.3 μW led to charge-discharge-vibrate cycles that resulted in the generation of 0.25% duty cycle 12.95-μW power pulses (across an optimal load impedance of 521 kΩ) at an overall energy conversion efficiency of 3.97%. These electrical power pulses can potentially be useful for periodically sampling sensor microsystems.

The proliferation of such facilities among countries whose support for terrorism and potential possession of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) constitutes threats to world peace and U.S. Security. The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Department of Energy National Laboratories and private sector R&D firms have pursued an aggressive research effort to explore the attributes of high velocity impact penetrators for countering such facilities. The penetration of crustal rocks with metal rods (such as tungsten or steel alloys) at high velocities involves complex wave propagation phenomena within the rod and inelastic response of both the penetrator and target material. In this paper we examine the sensitivity of penetration depth (for a fixed tungsten alloy mass impacting a limestone target) to impactor velocity, strength and geometry. Analyses are based upon a matrix of first principle finite difference calculations using the Sandia CTH (release 7.1) Shock Physics Code. Results indicate that impact velocity, penetrator yield strength and target yield strength strongly influence the penetration depth. Maximum penetration depth is achieved by a delicate trade off between penetrator kinetic energy and penetrator inelastic deformation (erosion). Numerical analyses for the parameter variations exercised in this study (impact velocities 1–3.5km/s and penetrator yield strengths of 1–4GPa) produced penetration depths of a tungsten alloy rod (length 200cm, diameter 20cm) which varied from 5.1m to 28m in a homogeneous limestone target.

A seasonal rodent-borne disease surveillance program was established at two firing points (FP), FP-10, and FP-60, and conducted over five years from 2001 through 2005 in response to hantavirus cases among U.S. soldiers. The ecology of these sites consisted primarily of tall grasses associated with semi-permanent and temporary water sources (drainage ditches and a small stream) and dry-land agriculture farming. Eight species of rodents and one species of insectivore were collected, including Apodemus agrarius, Micromys minutus, Mus musculus, Rattus norvegicus, Tscherskia triton, Microtus fortis, Myodes regulus, and Crocidura lasiura. The striped field mouse, A. agrarius, (primary reservoir for Hantaan virus, the causative agent of Korean hemorrhagic fever), was the most frequently collected, representing 90.6% of the 1,288 small mammals captured at both sites. Reported herein are the ecological parameters, seasonal population densities, and seasonal population characteristics associated with small mammals collected at two military training sites in the Republic of Korea.

The M3 is an imaging spectrometer that operates from the visible into the near-infrared (0.42-3.0 μm) where highly diagnostic mineral absorption bands occur. Over the course of the mission M3 will provide low resolution spectroscopic data for the entire lunar surface at 140 m/pixel (86 spectral channels) to be used as a base-map and high spectral resolution science data (80 m/pixel; 260 spectral channels) for 25-50% of the surface. The detailed mineral assessment of different lunar terrains provided by M3 is principal information needed for understanding the geologic evolution of the lunar crust and lays the foundation for focused future in-depth exploration of the Moon.

They may not be able to deliver the growing bandwidth requirements of future microprocessors. Optical interconnect technologies may provide a solution to meet this challenge and extend Moore's law. In this paper, a novel guided-wave optical interconnect fabric aiming to replace the slow global metal interconnections is proposed and analyzed. The reflection-mode multiple-quantum-well-modulator-based optical interconnection approach is projected to achieve high coupling efficiency and be compatible with standard CMOS processes. The key notion is a prismatic coupling structure that is embedded in the optical waveguide and therefore has a very small footprint in the circuit. Ray-trace and finite-difference time-domain simulation results predict high coupling efficiency of this structure.

This movement was unique in the disconnection between its core theorists—many of whom either disapproved or had nuanced views of the use of violence—and the social outliers driven by psychological distress and poverty who often committed the terrorist acts. In this respect, the anarchist movement resembles some modern day terrorist movements and can offer suggestions as to their nature and likelihood of success.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2009/04// VL - 174 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 412 EP - 418 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Malaria is a significant health threat to U.S. combat forces that are deployed to malaria-endemic regions. From 1979. when the Republic of Korea (ROK) was declared malaria free, malaria did not present a health threat to U.S. forces deployed in Korea until the early 1990s, In 1993, a temperate strain of vivax malaria expressing both latent (long prepatent incubation periods of usually 6-18 months after infection) and nonlatent (short prepatent incubation periods <30 days after infection) disease reemerged near the demilitarized zone (DMZ) and once again presented a primary health threat to U.S. military populations in the ROK. Following its reemergence, malaria rates increased dramatically through 1998 and accounted for >44% of all malaria cases among U.S. Army soldiers from 1997 to 2002. More than 60% of all Korean-acquired malaria among U.S. soldiers was identified as latent malaria. Nearly 80% of all latent malaria attributed to exposure in Korea was diagnosed in the U.S. or other countries where soldiers were deployed, These data illustrate the requirement for a comprehensive malaria education program, especially for those soldiers residing or training in malaria high-risk areas, to inform soldiers and providers of the risk of developing malaria after leaving Korea.

Much can be gained by crossing these traditional boundaries and creating a framework through which each may inform the other. This issue starts with the development of a theoretical framework and concludes with a critical review of the arguments for and against using virtual technologies to support training and education.

Through a low nucleation temperature and a reduced growth rate, a smooth GaSb surface was obtained on the GaAs substrate with clear atomic steps and low roughness morphology. On the top of the GaSb buffer, a p+-i-n+ type-II InAs/GaSb superlattice photodiode was grown with a designed cutoff wavelength of 4 μm. The detector exhibited a differential resistance at zero bias (R0A) in excess of 1600 Ω cm2 and a quantum efficiency of 36.4% at 77 K, providing a specific detectivity of 6×1011 cmHz/W and a background limited operating temperature of 100 K with a 300 K background. Uncooled detectors showed similar performance to those grown on GaSb substrates with a carrier lifetime of 110 ns and a detectivity of 6×108 cmHz/W.

The inserted microprobes emerge with the insect where the development of tissue around the electronics during the pupal development allows mechanically stable and electrically reliable structures coupled to the insect. Remarkably, the insects do not react adversely or otherwise to the inserted electronics in the pupae stage, as is true when the electrodes are inserted in adult stages. We report on the electrical and mechanical characteristics of this novel bioelectronic interface, which we believe would be adopted by many investigators trying to investigate biological behavior in insects with negligible or minimal traumatic effect encountered when probes are inserted in adult stages. This novel insect-machine interface also allows for hybrid insect-machine platforms for further studies. As an application, we demonstrate our first results toward navigation of flight in moths. When instrumented with equipment to gather information for environmental sensing, such insects potentially can assist man to monitor the ecosystems that we share with them for sustainability. The simplicity of the optimized surgical procedure we invented allows for batch insertions to the insect for automatic and mass production of such hybrid insect-machine platforms. Therefore, our bioelectronic interface and hybrid insect-machine platform enables multidisciplinary scientific and engineering studies not only to investigate the details of insect behavioral physiology but also to control it.

The model includes detection of acoustic waves launched from electrostatically actuated structures on the surface of the die, as well as their actuation by bulk waves generated by piezoelectric ceramics. The interaction is modeled via an empirical equivalent circuit, which is substantiated by experiments designed to extract the model parameters. The equivalent model is valid for cases where the beam resonance frequency is much smaller than the thickness mode resonance of the PZT/silicon stack. In this paper, the resonance frequency of the beams ranges between 200 and 300 kHz. As energy transfer between bulk-PZT and electrostatic actuated beam resonators must be reciprocal for small signals, this paper uses the extracted equivalent model to describe the physical sources of error that account for discrepancies in reciprocity.

AB - Explosive blast has been extensively used as a tactical weapon in Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and more recently in Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF). The polytraumatic nature of blast injuries is evidence of their effectiveness, and brain injury is a frequent and debilitating form of this trauma. In-theater clinical observations of brain-injured casualties have shown that edema, intracranial hemorrhage, and vasospasm are the most salient pathophysiological characteristics of blast injury to the brain. Unfortunately, little is known about exactly how an explosion produces these sequelae as well as others that are less well documented. Consequently, the principal objective of the current report is to present a swine model of explosive blast injury to the brain. This model was developed during Phase I of the DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) PREVENT (Preventing Violent Explosive Neurotrauma) blast research program. A second objective is to present data that illustrate the capabilities of this model to study the proximal biomechanical causes and the resulting pathophysiological, biochemical, neuropathological, and neurological consequences of explosive blast injury to the swine brain. In the concluding section of this article, the advantages and limitations of the model are considered, explosive and air-overpressure models are compared, and the physical properties of an explosion are identified that potentially contributed to the in-theater closed head injuries resulting from explosions of improvised explosive devices (IEDs).

The transmitter (an "infofuse") is a strip of the flammable polymer nitrocellulose patterned with alkali metal ions; this pattern encodes the information. The wave-lengths of 2 consecutive pulses of light represent each alphanumeric character. While burning, infofuses transmit a sequence of pulses (at 5-20 Hz) of atomic emission that correspond to the sequence of metallic salts (and therefore to the encoded information). This system combines information technology and chemical reactions into a new area-"infochemistry"-that is the first step toward systems that combine sensing and transduction of chemical signals with multicolor transmission of alphanumeric information.

The conference focused on three aspects of military nutrition: (1) fueling the forces, or garrison feeding; (2) performance optimization or operational feeding during deployment: and (3) nutritional interventions to support health reset and healing. Presentations by speakers addressed practical interventions (i.e., ready for implementation now) and advanced technologies (i.e., approaches meriting prioritized research and development efforts to transition into application). The conference concluded that nutritional optimization represents an integral and proactive approach to prevent illness, injury, and performance degradation throughout all phases of military service. The overarching consensus achieved was that warfighter nutrition, as a cornerstone of FHP, warrants the critical attention of both medical and line leadership to move quickly to support current initiatives and future advanced technologies.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2009/07// VL - 174 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 762 EP - 769 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Malaria was eradicated and the Republic of Korea (ROK) declared "malaria free" in 1979. However, in 1993, a temperate strain of vivax malaria, expressing both latent and nonlatent disease populations, re-emerged near the demilitarized zone (DMZ), rapidly spread to civilian sectors near the DMZ, and increased exponentially in ROK military, veteran, and civilian populations through 1998. Malaria among all ROK populations decreased 5-fold from a high of 4,142 cases in 2000 to a low of 826 cases in 2004, before increasing again to 2,180 cases by 2007. Each malaria case in the ROK is reported in the metropolitan area/province where the diagnosis is made, which may be at some distance from the area where infection occurred. Therefore, it is difficult to ascertain transmission sites since approximately 60% of vivax malaria in Korea is latent with symptoms occurring >1 month to 24 months after infection. A review of case diagnosis for civilian, veteran, and military populations shows that nearly all malaria south of Gyeonggi and Gangwon Provinces is the result of veterans exposed in malaria high-risk areas along the DMZ and returning to their hometowns where they later develop malaria. Thus, malaria currently remains localized near the DMZ with limited transmission in provinces south of Seoul and has not spread throughout Korea as previously hypothesized. This report describes the reemergence of vivax malaria cases in civilian and military ROK populations and U.S. military personnel and assesses variables related to its transmission and geographic distribution.

Selfassembly was primarily driven by the intrinsic residual stresses of Cr within these films; in addition, the degree of bending could be controlled by changing the Cu film thickness and by introducing a third layer with either a flexible polymer or a rigid metal. We correlate the observed curvature of patterned self-assembled microstructures with those predicted by a published multilayer model. In the model, measured stress values (measured on the unpatterned films using a substrate curvature method) were utilized. We also investigated the role of two different sacrificial layers: 1) silicon and 2) water-soluble polyvinyl alcohol. Finally, a Taguchi design of experiments was performed to investigate the importance of the different layers in contributing to the stressthickness product (the critical parameter that controls the curvature of the self-assembled microstructures) of the multilayers. This paper facilitates a deeper understanding of multilayer thin-film-based self-assembly and provides a framework to assemble complex microstructures, including tetherless self-actuating devices.

A design for improving Q based on the reflection of anchor-generated surface acoustic waves is presented here. In this design, the resonator is surrounded by a trench, or a mesa, that partially reflects the wave energy back to the resonator. Depending on the distance from the resonator to the mesa, the reflected wave interferes either constructively or destructively with the resonator, increasing or decreasing Q. The proposed design is experimentally tested using a dome-shaped flexural mode resonator for a range of distances of the mesa from the resonator. Improvements in Q of up to 400% are observed. The resonator/mesa system is modeled using a commercially available finite-element code. Experiments and simulations compare well, suggesting that a finite-elementmethod analysis can be used in the preliminary design of mesas for the optimization of Q. The concept of using mesas to improve Q is simulated for both flexural and in-plane modes of vibration.

Nuclear forensics is not a new mission for Department of Defense (DoD). The department’s existing nuclear forensics capability is the result of programs that span six (6) decades and includes activities to assess foreign nuclear weapons testing activities, monitor and verify nuclear arms control treaties, and to support intelligence and law enforcement activities. Today, nuclear forensics must support not only weapons programs and nuclear smuggling incidents, but also the scientific analysis and subsequent attribution of terrorists’ use of radiological or nuclear materials/devices. Nuclear forensics can help divulge the source of origin of nuclear materials, the type of design for an interdicted or detonated device, as well as the pathway of the materials or device to the incident. To accomplish this mission, the USG will need trained radiochemists and nuclear scientists to fill new positions and replace the retiring staff.

A temperature-controlled, small-cavity blackbody source was used to calibrate the signal output of the Raman spectrometer system; this allows a direct measurement of the absolute Raman cross section without the need for the use of a known material as the reference standard. Measurements were made on a GaP single-crystal plate with (001) faces, using backscattering geometry. The measured values of are 3.0± 0.6×10−28 and 1.1± 0.2×10−28 cm2 at 811 and 1112 nm, respectively, compared with the corresponding values of 2.8×10−28 cm2 and 0.7×10−28 cm2 extrapolated from the values measured at 647 nm (1.92 eV) by Calleja et al. in 1981, using the wavelength dependence and decrease of Raman polarizability with wavelength due to resonance enhancement associated with the direct energy gap () at 2.78 eV and the split-off energy gap () at 2.86 eV.

An approach that avoids some of the longer term challenges in biocompatibility involves a construction in which some parts or all of the system resorbs in the body over time. This paper describes strategies for integrating single crystalline silicon electronics, where the silicon is in the form of nanomembranes, onto water soluble and biocompatible silk substrates. Electrical, bending, water dissolution, and animal toxicity studies suggest that this approach might provide many opportunities for future biomedical devices and clinical applications.

The sampling device consists of a thin wire coated with carboxen/polydimethylsiloxane (carboxen/PDMS) material, wound in the annular space between two concenuic glass tubes, providing a large trapping surface from which analytes may then be thermally desorbed with little power consumption upon resistive healing of the wire. Desorbed analytes are focused and reconcentrated on a microtrap that is subsequently resistively heated to introduce analytes for GC or GC/MS analysis. Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BThX) included in a 39-component toxic organics (TO-14) gas mixture were used to evaluate the efficiency of the HSA-SPME sampler. Quantitation of trace-level B'IEX compounds present during weapons cleaning was completed using stepwise calibration. Detection limits of 0.2-6.9 pptr, were observed for these analytes using single ion monitoring GC/MS analysis, and an improvement in sensitivity of several orders of magnitude was achieved when compared to standard dynamic flow SPME with a commercially available 10mm carboxen/ PDMS fiber. The potential for rapid analyte uptake and improved sensitivity using the HSA-SPME design will make it possible to rapidly collect and analyze VOC samples in field settings using a portable hand-held pump and a small, low power GC/MS instrument This system will be especially useful for situations involving forensics, public safety, and military dafensive or intelligence needs where rapid, sensitive detection of airborne analytes is required.

In general, one tries to forecast the values of all major customers' orders for the upcoming year. Then, these are summed to obtain a forecast for the upcoming year's total sales. This approach can be used in conjunction with other methods, such as examining current sales trends, as part of the overall forecasting process. When using any forecasting method, one needs to understand the quality of the data being used. This paper shows how to use an intriguing mathematical phenomenon called Benford's Law to measure the quality of the data being used for bottom-up forecasting when large numbers of customer orders are expected.

In this paper, we report on microfabricated silicon microprobes integrated with an ultrasonic horn actuator and strain gauges for microdissection probe-TESE (MP-TESE) surgery. The microprobes, with axial-force-sensitive polysilicon strain gauges, have high forcesensitivity (-0.4 V/N). The probes were used to detect the boundaries between seminiferous tubules, thus enabling identification of individual tubule diameters. Insertion experiments were performed on rat testis tissue, and by monitoring the tubule puncture in the recorded force, we were able to estimate the average diameter ∼41.2 ± 1.6 μm of the sperm-carrying tubules in samples. We have also demonstrated the ability to sense the existence of larger tubules embedded in a mess of thinner tubules, using an analytically calculated expression for the distribution of sizes measured by the microprobe. This information is important in MP-TESE to distinguish tubules with and without fertile sperm, potentially eliminating the large incision currently required for optical spermatazoa localization.

The dual-band QWIP device was developed by stacking two multi-quantum-well stacks tuned to absorb two different infrared wavelengths. The full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the mid-wave infrared (MWIR) band extends from 4.4 to 5.1μm and the FWHM of a long-wave infrared (LWIR) band extends from 7.8 to 8.8μm. Dual-band QWIP detector arrays were hybridized with custom fabricated direct injection read out integrated circuits (ROICs) using the indium bump hybridization technique. The initial dual-band megapixel QWIP FPAs were cooled to 70K operating temperature. The preliminary data taken from the first megapixel QWIP FPA has shown system NEΔT of 27 and 40mK for MWIR and LWIR bands, respectively.

Parameters varied included case/charge mass ratio, charge diameter and charge type (i.e., detonation energy and pressure). The pressure histories measured on the chamber wall showed a double-shock front structure with an accelerating precursor shock followed by the primary shock, suggesting the early-time reaction of small case fragments. During the early reflections on the chamber wall, significant pressure rises versus the steel-cased and bare charges indicated combustion of a large amount of small case particles generated by secondary fragmentation. The analysis of explosion pressures and recovered fragments and solid products gave an expression for burnt casing mass as a function of Gurney velocity and charge diameter. The equivalent bare charge mass that yields the same explosion pressure as the cased charge increased with case/charge mass ratio and reached 2.5 times charge mass at the ratio of 1.75.

Reported tests of formulated LLM-105 reveal that it is a good candidate for a new insensitive high-performance explosive. As use of LLM-105 increases, thermodynamic parameters and phase stability will need to be determined for accurate modeling. In order to accomplish this goal, isothermal equations of state of LLM-105 at static high-pressure and temperature were investigated using synchrotron angle-dispersive x-ray diffraction experiments. The samples were compressed and heated using diamond anvil cells. Pressure—volume data for LLM-105 at ambient temperature and 100° C were fit to the Birch-Murnaghan formalism to obtain isothermal equations of state. Temperature—volume data at ambient pressure were fit to obtain the volume thermal expansion coefficient.

An excipient is an inactive ingredient often used in a final drug product as a carrier for the active ingredient(s). It is a requirement that excipients are safe and do not contain toxic contaminants when added to the final product. Therefore, human exposure to excipients must be evaluated and the safety substantiated. The scope of safety information required for an excipient will depend upon the intended use of the final drug/product. There are many ways to assure inclusion of safe excipients in products that will ultimately meet FDA requirements. This presentation will discuss potential excipient safety evaluation approaches that could be used to extract existing safety information previously reviewed by expert panels and typically published in the open literature. For example, acceptable daily intake values may be derived from safety assessments previously done for food additive approvals. These approaches may expedite the compilation of safety databases for old or new excipients. An introduction will be given for several existing ingredient safety assessment sources, such as the FDA, CIR, RIFM, FEMA, and GRAS substances that could be used to derive safety data relevant to excipient use.

TBTA is a 36 km2 rural training site with small villages and various forms of agriculture along its boundary. At TBTA, rodents, insectivores, and their ectoparasites are commonly found in association with unmanaged habitats of various densities of tall grasses, herbaceous plants, shrubs, briars, and crawling vegetation. Rodents and insectivores were collected during the winter (November-December 2005 and December 2006) and early spring (March 2007), and serologically tested for the presence of scrub typhus, murine typhus, and leptospirosis antibodies. Of the six species of small mammals collected, Apodemus agrarius, the common striped field mouse and known reservoir of scrub typhus, was the most frequently collected (96.1%), followed by Crocidura lasiura (2.5%), Micromys minutus (0.5%), Myodes regulus (0.5%), Mus musculus (0.3%), and Rattus rattus (0.1%). A. agrarius (56.1%), M. musculus (66.7%), M. minutus (25%), and R. rattus (100%) were positive for scrub typhus antibodies. Only A. agrarius (14.7%) and C. lasiura (4.5%) were positive for murine typhus antibodies, whereas only A. agrarius (1.5%) was seropositive for leptospirosis.

JO - Proceedings of the Institute of Nuclear Materials Management Annual Meeting JF - Proceedings of the Institute of Nuclear Materials Management Annual Meeting Y1 - 2010/01// M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 7 PB - Institute of Nuclear Materials Management AB - The Defense Threat Reduction Agency is a combat support agency of the U.S. Department of Defense. Its mission is to protect the USA and its allies from Weapons of Mass Destruction by providing capabilities to reduce, eliminate, and counter the threat and mitigate its effects. Military defense organizations have responsibility to respond to threats involving "loose nukes" anywhere world wide. Since military forces need to be able to locate threat objects or materials at long distance, on short notice and in hostile environments not fully under their control, standoff detection systems need to be transportable on military platforms. Technologies are needed for detection of nuclear threats under circumstances where they could not be detected on the basis of their intrinsic radiations, for example, because of distance or shielding. One approach that could enable detection of shielded materials or threat objects at long range is to use interrogating radiation to stimulate emissions that can locate and identify SNM at greater distance than is possible with passive techniques. Approaches being explored include use of photons, protons, negative muons and neutrons as the interrogating radiation to stimulate response from SNM. In addition to accelerator-based technologies, laser techniques can provide long-range identification of trans-actinide elements, for example in surface contamination, and of chemicals unique to nuclear-related activities. Non-conventional signatures, such as radiation-induced atmospheric fluorescence, also offer potential for detection of nuclear threats at long-standoff distances. Other elements of the DTRA program include development of compact, high-gradient accelerator technology and modeling and simulation of scenarios where experimental evaluation is impractical.

JO - BMC Public Health JF - BMC Public Health Y1 - 2010/01/02/Jan2010 Supplement 1 VL - 10 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 6 PB - BioMed Central SN - 14712458 AB - The international community continues to define common strategic themes of actions to improve global partnership and international collaborations in order to protect our populations. The International Health Regulations (IHR[2005]) offer one of these strategic themes whereby World Health Organization (WHO) Member States and global partners engaged in biosecurity, biosurveillance and public health can define commonalities and leverage their respective missions and resources to optimize interventions. The U.S. Defense Threat Reduction Agency's Cooperative Biological Engagement Program (CBEP) works with partner countries across clinical, veterinary, epidemiological, and laboratory communities to enhance national disease surveillance, detection, diagnostic, and reporting capabilities. CBEP, like many other capacity building programs, has wrestled with ways to improve partner country buy-in and ownership and to develop sustainable solutions that impact integrated disease surveillance outcomes. Designing successful implementation strategies represents a complex and challenging exercise and requires robust and transparent collaboration at the country level. To address this challenge, the Laboratory Systems Development Branch of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and CBEP have partnered to create a set of tools that brings together key leadership of the surveillance system into a deliberate system design process. This process takes into account strengths and limitations of the existing system, how the components inter-connect and relate to one another, and how they can be systematically refined within the local context. The planning tools encourage cross-disciplinary thinking, critical evaluation and analysis of existing capabilities, and discussions across organizational and departmental lines toward a shared course of action and purpose. The underlying concepts and methodology of these tools are presented here.

JO - IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics JF - IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics Y1 - 2010/02// VL - 46 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 285 EP - 293 SN - 00189197 AB - Quantum well infrared photodetectors (QWIPs) are well known for their stability, high pixel-pixel uniformity and high pixel operability which are quintessential parameters for large area imaging arrays. In this paper we report the first demonstration of the megapixel-simultaneously-readable and pixel-co-registered dual-band QWIP focal plane array (FPA). The dual-band QWIP device was developed by stacking two multi-quantum-well stacks tuned to absorb two different infrared wavelengths. The full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the midwave infrared (MWIR) band extends from 4.4-5.1 μm and FWHM of the long-wave infrared (LWIR) band extends from 7.8-8.8 μm. Dual-band QWIP detector arrays were hybridized with direct injection 30 μm pixel pitch megapixel dual-band simultaneously readable CMOS read out integrated circuits using the indium bump hybridization technique. The initial dual-band megapixel QWIP FPAs were cooled to 68 K operating temperature. The preliminary data taken from the first megapixel QWIP FPA has shown system ΝΕΔΤ of 27 and 40 mK for MWIR and LWIR bands, respectively.

SN - 08949867 AB - Studies have not examined the factor structure or measurement invariance of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptomatology using population-based data. Confirmatory factor analysis of the PTSD Checklist-Civilian Version (PCL-C) was conducted in a representative sample of U.S. active duty military personnel (N = 15,593). Consistent with prior research, a 4-factor model consisting of reexperiencing, avoidance, emotional numbing, and arousal factors was superior to four alternative models. Measurement invariance was found for factor loadings, but not observed item intercepts when comparing personnel with and without a recent deployment (≤12 months). Findings indicate differences in the level of observed responses across deployment subgroups that exceed what would be expected for individuals with similar PCL latent factors scores. Implications of results are discussed.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering JF - IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering Y1 - 2010/03// VL - 57 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 722 EP - 727 SN - 00189294 AB - An adaptive noise canceller was used to reduce the effect of floor vibrations on ballistocardiogram (BCG) measurements from a modified electronic bathroom scale. A seismic sensor was placed next to the scale on the floor and used as the noise reference input to the noise canceller. BCG recordings were acquired from a healthy subject while another person stomped around the scale, thus causing increased floor vibrations. The noise canceller substantially eliminated the artifacts in the BCG signal due to these vibrations without distorting the morphology of the measured BCG. Additionally, recordings were obtained from another subject standing inside a parked bus while the engine was running. The artifacts due to the vibrations of the engine, and the other vehicles moving on the road next to the bus, were also effectively eliminated by the noise canceller. The system with automatic floor vibration cancellation could be used to increase BCG measurement robustness in home monitoring applications. Additionally, the noise cancellation approach may enable BCG recording in ambulances-or other transport vehicles-where noninvasive hemodynamic monitoring may otherwise not be feasible.

Over the last 40 years, the US government has invested generously in several attempts to build crisis forecasting systems that were analytically defensible and capable of processing and making sense of vast amounts of information in real or near real time. This article describes the most recent attempt by the US military to develop an Integrated Crisis Early Warning System (ICEWS). Although ICEWS relies heavily on social science theories, data, and methods, our experiences thus far reveal some strengths and limitations of contemporary quantitative approaches to addressing social science questions with real world implications. The article concludes with a sketch of a new paradigmatic approach—a Computational Social Science Experimentation Proving Ground—that could not only improve crisis early warning and response, but also revolutionize how social science knowledge is developed, evaluated, and applied more broadly.

The PLIF measurements gave the initial Ar gas distributions. The implosion velocity and electron density profiles were measured from LWA and/or LSI. From these, the implosion plasma sheath thickness, ion density, mean ion charge states, temperatures, and implosion velocity are obtained, which allows us to calculate the classical plasma resistivity. A 1-D analytic magnetic field diffusion model is constructed and used to predict the imploding plasma sheath thickness and its resistivity. Based on comparisons of the experimental measurements and the diffusion model prediction, we found out that plasma resistivity is enhanced by the cross-field diffusion above the classical value, as high as 60 times the Spitzer's value. Details are given in this paper.

JO - Journal of Occupational & Environmental Hygiene JF - Journal of Occupational & Environmental Hygiene Y1 - 2010/06// VL - 7 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 352 EP - 357 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 15459624 AB - U.S. Army chemical mask confidence training is conducted in an enclosed chamber where airborne o-chlorobenzylidene malononitrile (also known as CS or “tear gas”) is generated using a low temperature (150-300°C) dispersal method. CS capsules are placed onto a flame-heated aerosol generator that melts the capsules and disperses CS into the chamber. To instill confidence in chemical protective equipment, trainees are required to break the seal of their chemical protective mask, resulting in the immediate irritation of their eyes, nose, throat, and lungs. Solid phase micro extraction (SPME) sample collection techniques were used inside the chamber, followed by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC/MS) to identify unintended thermal degradation products created during the CS dispersal process. The temperature of the aerosol generator averaged 257°C, and 17 thermal degradation products were identified. To characterize the relationship between temperature and the types of CS thermal degradation products formed, CS was dispersed in a tube furnace at controlled temperatures from 150-300°C and analyzed using the same method. There was a graded response between temperature and the number of thermal degradation products formed, with one product formed at 150°C and 15 products formed at 300°C. Two additional products were identified in the chamber experiment when compared with the tube furnace experiment. These products are likely the result of molten CS dripping directly into the aerosol generator's flame, which averaged 652°C. To prevent undesirable degradation products during thermal dispersion of CS, a delivery system designed to contain the molten CS and maintain a consistent temperature near 150°C is recommended.

JO - Nature Materials JF - Nature Materials Y1 - 2010/06// VL - 9 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 511 EP - 517 SN - 14761122 AB - Electronics that are capable of intimate, non-invasive integration with the soft, curvilinear surfaces of biological tissues offer important opportunities for diagnosing and treating disease and for improving brain/machine interfaces. This article describes a material strategy for a type of bio-interfaced system that relies on ultrathin electronics supported by bioresorbable substrates of silk fibroin. Mounting such devices on tissue and then allowing the silk to dissolve and resorb initiates a spontaneous, conformal wrapping process driven by capillary forces at the biotic/abiotic interface. Specialized mesh designs and ultrathin forms for the electronics ensure minimal stresses on the tissue and highly conformal coverage, even for complex curvilinear surfaces, as confirmed by experimental and theoretical studies. In vivo, neural mapping experiments on feline animal models illustrate one mode of use for this class of technology. These concepts provide new capabilities for implantable and surgical devices.

Suite 1 comprises seven Apollo 17 crystalline impact melt breccias and seven quenched glass equivalents. Suite 2 is made up of 15 additional impact melt samples (from Apollo 12, 15, 16, and 17) which exhibit a range of textures and compositions related to cooling conditions and glass abundance. A few of these samples have cooled slowly and fully crystallized, and thus have the same spectral properties as igneous rocks of similar texture and composition; they cannot be uniquely distinguished without geologic context. However, most of the impact melts and melt breccias contain either quantities of quenched glass and/or have developed microcrystalline nonequilibrium textures with well-defined, diagnostic spectral properties. The microcrystalline textures are associated with a distinctive 600 nm absorption feature, apparently due to submicroscopic ilmenite inclusions in a transparent host (typically fine-grained plagioclase). The reflectance properties of these lunar sample suites contribute to and constrain the identification and characterization of impact melts in remote sensing data.

Films grown with 5−15% La doping and a critical growth pressure of 1−10 mTorr showed high transparency (>70−95%) in the UV−visible range with a sheet resistance of 300−1000 Ω/◻. With the aid of UV−visible spectroscopy and photoluminescence, we establish the presence of oxygen vacancies and the possible band structure, which is crucial for the transparent conducting nature of these films. This demonstration will enable development of various epitaxial oxide heterostructures for both realizing opto-electronic devices and understanding their intrinsic optical properties.

The targets were shot with ≈350 kJ of 3ω laser energy delivered with a 5 ns trapezoidal laser pulse. We report measured x-ray output from the target in different spectral bands both below and above 1.5 keV photon energies: We find yields of ≈20.5 kJ/sr with peak x-ray power approaching 4 TW/sr over all energies, as measured for the unique viewing angle of our detector, and ≈3.6 kJ/sr with peak x-ray power of 1 TW/sr for x-rays with energies >3 keV. This is a laser-to-x-ray conversion efficiency of 13±1.3% for isotropic x-rays with energies >3 keV. Laser energy reflected by the target plasma for both inner and outer-cone beams is measured and found to be small, between 1% and 4% of the drive energy. The energy emitted in hard x-rays (with energies >25 keV) is measured and found to be ≈1 J/sr. Two-dimensional imaging of the target plasma during the laser pulse confirms a fast, volumetric heating of the entire target, resulting in efficient laser-to-x-ray conversion. Postshot simulations with a two-dimensional radiation-hydrodynamics code reproduce well the observed x-ray flux and fluence, backscattered light, and bulk target motion.

It considers both the effect on a participant of being present in a mediation session where there is no mediator of the same gender or racial/ethnic group and the effect of being present when there is also a mediator who matches the gender or race/ethnicity of the other participant. The results show that failing to match disputants and mediators by gender has negative effects on mediation satisfaction measures and that those effects increase when the mediator's gender also matches that of the other participant. In contrast, failure to match by racial or ethnic group has little effect, but when an unmatched participant faces both an opposing participant and a mediator who share a racial or ethnic identification, mediation satisfaction decreases in several respects.

We have demonstrated efficient filtering of 120-hertz current with DLCs with electrodes made from vertically oriented graphene nanosheets grown directly on metal current collectors. This design minimized electronic and ionic resistances and produced capacitors with RC time constants of less than 200 microseconds, in contrast with ∼1 second for typical DLCs. Graphene nanosheets have a preponderance of exposed edge planes that greatly increases charge storage as compared with that of designs that rely on basal plane surfaces. Capacitors constructed with these electrodes could be smaller than the low-voltage aluminum electrolyte capacitors that are typically used in electronic devices.

In this article, the authors present a proposed framework for conducting such evaluations through integrating developmental testing, operational testing, and operational performance data into the evaluations. A recent example of the evaluation of a suite of aerial intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) systems is also discussed, relating the aerial ISR evaluation to the proposed framework.

JO - Journal of Climate JF - Journal of Climate Y1 - 2010/10// VL - 23 IS - 19 M3 - Article SP - 5041 EP - 5064 PB - American Meteorological Society SN - 08948755 AB - This study documents the global distribution and characteristics of diurnally varying low-level jets (LLJs), including their horizontal, vertical, and temporal structure, with a special emphasis on highlighting the underlying commonalities and unique qualities of the various nocturnal jets. Two tools are developed to accomplish this goal. The first is a 21-yr global reanalysis performed with the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University-NCAR Mesoscale Model (MM5) using a horizontal grid spacing of 40 km. A unique characteristic of the reanalysis is the availability of hourly three-dimensional output, which permits the full diurnal cycle to be analyzed. Furthermore, the horizontal grid spacing of 40 km better resolves many physiographic features that host LLJs than other widely used global reanalyses. This makes possible a detailed examination of the systematic onset and cessation of the jets, including time-height representations of the diurnal cycle. The second tool is an index of nocturnal LLJ (NLLJ) activity based upon the vertical structure of the wind's temporal variation, where the temporal variation is defined in local time. The first available objectively constructed global maps of recurring NLLJs are created from this index, where the various NLLJs can be simultaneously viewed at or near their peak time. These maps not only highlight all of the locations where NLLJs are known to recur, but they also reveal a number of new jets. The authors examine the basic mechanisms that give rise to the NLLJs identified in four disparate locations, each having a profound influence on the regional climate. The first, the extensively studied Great Plains NLLJ, is used to confirm the veracity of the global analysis and the index of NLLJ activity. It also provides context for three of the many newly identified NLLJs: 1) Tarim Pendi in northwest China; 2) Ethiopia in eastern Africa; and 3) Namibia-Angola in southwest Africa. Jets in these four regions illustrate the variety of physiographic and thermal forcing mechanisms that can produce NLLJs.

Previous literature has documented linkages between rainfall extremes and nocturnal low-level jets (NLLJs) over the Great Plains of North America and the La Plata River basin of South America. In this study, the authors utilize a 21-yr, hourly global 40-km reanalysis based on the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University-NCAR Mesoscale Model (MM5) to examine whether NLLJ-rainfall linkages are common elsewhere on the earth. The reanalysis is uniquely suited for the task because of its comparatively high spatial and temporal resolution and because a companion paper demonstrated that it realistically simulates the vertical, horizontal, and diurnal structure of the winds in well-known NLLJ regions. The companion paper employed the reanalysis to identify and describe numerous NLLJs across the planet, including several previously unknown NLLJs. The authors demonstrate here that the reanalysis reasonably simulates the diurnal cycle, extremes, and spatial structure of rainfall globally compared to satellite-based precipitation datasets and therefore that it is suitable for examining NLLJ-rainfall linkages. A statistical approach is then introduced to categorize nocturnal precipitation extremes as a function of the NLLJ magnitude, wind direction, and wind frequency for January and July. Statistically significant relationships between NLLJs and nocturnal precipitation extremes exist in at least 10 widely disparate regions around the world, some of which are well known and others that have been undocumented until now. The regions include the U.S. Great Plains, Tibet, northwest China, India, Southeast Asia, southeast China, Argentina, Namibia, Botswana, and Ethiopia. Recent studies have recorded widespread changes in the amplitudes of near-surface diurnal heating cycles that in turn play key roles in driving NLLJs. It will thus be important for future work to address how rainfall extremes may be impacted if trends in diurnal cycles cause the position, magnitude, and frequency of NLLJs to change.

Vapor contaminated surfaces were investigated by exposing representative field materials to chemical warfare agent (CWA) simulants, and then monitoring the off-gassing concentration as a function of time. Concrete, plastic, wood, steel and latex paint surfaces were contaminated with triethyl phosphate, 4-chlorobutyl acetate, 3-hepten-2-one, trimethyl phosphate, and 2-isobutyl–3-methoxypyrazine. The testing process and simple analysis model provide test and analysis methods that will be used to test agent off-gassing and can serve as a standard for vapor hazard testing following vapor exposure. Use of the simple model was justified, based on analyses of the measured off-gassing trends and the predicted trends of interaction between each compound and each surface.

In this effort we modeled tests in which a high explosive (HE) cylindrical charge was hung in the center of a room and detonated. The HEs used for the tests were C-4 and AFX 757. While C-4 is just slightly under-oxidized and is typically modeled as an ideal explosive, AFX 757 includes a significant percentage of aluminum particles, so long-time afterburning and energy release must be considered. The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL)-produced thermo-chemical equilibrium algorithm, 'Cheetah', was used to estimate the remaining burnable detonation products. From these remaining species, the afterburning energy was computed and added to the flow field. Computations of the detonation and afterburn of two HEs in the confined multi-room facility were performed. The results demonstrate excellent agreement with available experimental data in terms of blast wave time of arrival, peak shock amplitude, reverberation, and total impulse (and hence, total energy release, via either the detonation or afterburn processes.

Coupling gas chromatography (GC) to IMS adds a separation capability to resolve complex matrices. A GC-IONSCAN operated in IMS and GC/IMS modes was evaluated with combinations of five explosives and four interferents. In 100 explosive/interferent combinations, IMS yielded 21 false positives while GC/IMS substantially reduced the occurrence of false positives to one. In addition, the results indicate that through redesign or modification of the preconcentrator there would be significant advantages to using GC/IMS, such as enhancement of the linear dynamic range (LDR) in some situations. By balancing sensitivity with LDR, GC/IMS could prove to be a very advantageous tool when addressing real world complex mixture situations.

JO - PLoS ONE JF - PLoS ONE Y1 - 2011/03// VL - 6 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 17 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 19326203 AB - Background: Despite the decades-long use of Bacillus atrophaeus var. globigii (BG) as a simulant for biological warfare (BW) agents, knowledge of its genome composition is limited. Furthermore, the ability to differentiate signatures of deliberate adaptation and selection from natural variation is lacking for most bacterial agents. We characterized a lineage of BGwith a long history of use as a simulant for BW operations, focusing on classical bacteriological markers, metabolic profiling and whole-genome shotgun sequencing (WGS). Results: Archival strains and two ''present day'' type strains were compared to simulant strains on different laboratory media. Several of the samples produced multiple colony morphotypes that differed from that of an archival isolate. To trace the microevolutionary history of these isolates, we obtained WGS data for several archival and present-day strains and morphotypes. Bacillus-wide phylogenetic analysis identified B. subtilis as the nearest neighbor to B. atrophaeus. The genome of B. atrophaeus is, on average, 86% identical to B. subtilis on the nucleotide level. WGS of variants revealed that several strains were mixed but highly related populations and uncovered a progressive accumulation of mutations among the ''military'' isolates. Metabolic profiling and microscopic examination of bacterial cultures revealed enhanced growth of ''military'' isolates on lactate-containing media, and showed that the ''military'' strains exhibited a hypersporulating phenotype. Conclusions: Our analysis revealed the genomic and phenotypic signatures of strain adaptation and deliberate selection for traits that were desirable in a simulant organism. Together, these results demonstrate the power of whole-genome and modern systems-level approaches to characterize microbial lineages to develop and validate forensic markers for strain discrimination and reveal signatures of deliberate adaptation.

As a result, the selection of metallurgy for high-temperature SiC die attach is crucial to a successful package design, which involves chip metallization, substrate metallization, and die attach alloy. This paper examines off-eutectic Au–Sn as the die attach alloy with a PtAu thick film metallization on AlN substrates. A pure Au thick film layer was printed over the PtAu thick film layer. AlN substrates metalized with refractory MoMn and electroplated Ni/Au were also used. Two different die attach approaches have been investigated, using Sn–Au–Sn off-eutectic thick foil and limited-volume eutectic AuSn (80/20 wt.%) preform. The SiC backside metallizations evaluated were Ti/TaSi2/Pt/Au and Cr/NiCr/Au. Die shear tests were performed after aging at 500 ^\circC and after thermal cycling. The shear test results and failure surface analysis are discussed.

Measurements were made with a 25-mil thick (001) silicon sample located in the focal plane of a 20-mm effective focal length (EFL) lens using 785-, 1064-, and 1535-nm CW pump lasers for the excitation of Raman scattering. The pump beam was polarized along the [100] axis of the silicon sample. Values of 1.0±0.2×10−27, 3.6±0.7×10−28, and 1.1±0.2×10−29 cm2 were determined for for 785-, 1064-, and 1535-nm excitation, respectively. The corresponding values of the Raman scattering efficiency are 4.0±0.8×10−6, 1.4±0.3×10−6, and 4.4±0.8×10−8 cm−1 sr−1.The values of the Raman polarizability for 785-, 1064-, and 1535-nm excitation are 4.4±0.4×10−15, 5.1±0.5×10−15, and 1.9±0.2×10−15 cm2, respectively. The values of 4.4±0.4×10−15 and 5.1±0.5×10−15 cm2 for for 785- and 1064-nm excitation, respectively, are 1.3 and 2.0 times larger than the values of 3.5×10−15 and 2.5×10−15 cm2 calculated by Wendel. The Raman polarizability computed using the density functional theory in the long-wavelength limit is consistent with the general trend of the measured data and Wendel’s model.

The NSERC has created an experimental pyroelectric crystal accelerator program to enhance undergraduate education at USMA in the Department of Physics and Nuclear Engineering. This program provides cadets with hands-on experience in designing their own experiments using an inexpensive tabletop accelerator. This device uses pyroelectric crystals to ionize and accelerate gas ions to energies of ∼100 keV. Within the next year, cadets and faculty at USMA will use this device to create neutrons through the deuterium-deuterium (D-D) fusion process, effectively creating a compact, portable neutron generator. The double crystal pyroelectric accelerator will also be used by students to investigate neutron, x-ray, and ion spectroscopy.

However, to build functional electronics, multiple devices must be interconnected to provide the desired functionality. A system-in-package approach has been developed using thick-film technology on \Si3\N4 ceramic substrates. \Si3\N4 has a near coefficient-of-thermal-expansion match to Si and a higher flexural modulus than \Al2\O3, which is commonly used for thick-film applications. The conductor metallization is Au. For 300 ^\circ\C operation, eutectic Au–Ge die attach was used with a Ti/Ti:W/Au backside die metallization. After 3000 h at 325 ^\circ\C, the mean die shear strength decreased from 3.96 to 3.33 \kg/\mm^2, a decrease of only 16%. Formation of Au–Si–Ge ternary eutectic (melting point 326 ^\circ \C) was observed and limits the use of Au–Ge die attach to 300 ^\circ\C. SOI dies typically have Al wire bond pads that are not compatible with Au thermosonic wire bonding for high-temperature applications. Two plating processes have been examined: electroless Ni/immersion Au/electroless Au and electroless Ni/electroless Pd/immersion Au. The plating processes provide a barrier layer (Ni) and a wire-bondable finish (Au or Pd–Au) over the Al wire bond pads. After 10 000 h at 300 ^\circ\C, the wire pull force for the Ni/Au samples decreased by \sim30% due to annealing of the Au wire, while the ball shear force increased by \sim35%. The daisy-chain electrical resistance remained relatively constant. For the Ni–Pd–Au samples, after 2000 h at 320 ^\circ\C, the ball shear force remained constant or increased slightly, the wire pull force decreased by \sim25% due to annealing of the Au wire, and the daisy-chain resistance remained relatively constant. After 3000 h, however, cratering of the Si wire bond pad was observed corresponding to some first bond pad lifts and increased daisy-chain resistance. Optimization of the wire-bonding parameters for bonding to the harder Ni/Pd/Au bond pad is required to eliminate cratering.

With sufficient speed, the models can be used for rapid response and for applications where many simulations must be performed in a short time period. To satisfy this need, several diagnostic wind flow models have been developed for urban areas, where mass-consistent principles are used in combination with local wind observations to solve for the mean wind flow on domains of size ranging from a few hundred meters to several kilometers on a side, within which detailed 3-D building geometries are defined. Simple assumptions about vortex flow structures are parameterized near buildings and in street canyons. The wind flow results are used as inputs to a Lagrangian particle dispersion model (LPDM), where the needed turbulent velocities and time scales are parameterized using standard boundary layer profile formulas combined with special relations around buildings. As part of a collaborative study, with the intent of advancing each model, the developers of four of these models have run their models for two tracer releases (one daytime and one nighttime) during the Joint Urban 2003 (JU2003) field experiment. The four models are: QUIC by Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), 3DWF by the Army Research Laboratory, the urban Lagrangian model by the Israel Institute for Biological Research (IIBR), and Microswift/Spray (MSS) by Aria Technologies and SAIC. The comparison uses nearly identical domains and grid systems, and all models use the same input wind profile. The simulated patterns of wind fields and tracer contours are in good qualitative agreement. For wind speed near the surface, the mean model biases are less than about 20% and RMS errors are about 1–2 m s−1. For tracer concentrations, the four models give similar quantitative results, where the mean relative biases suggest that the individual models can be sometimes as much as a factor of two high or low, and where the scatter suggests that, for all models, about 30 or 40% of the simulations are within a factor of two of observations. In most cases, the observed plume is broader than the simulated plume, and the models are biased toward slight underestimation of the dispersion of the plumes to the tall rooftops.

Since 9-11, motivated by the lack of any meaningful U.S. progressive collapse design requirements, DoD has worked with the civilian community on a number of significant efforts to improve the design of buildings to resist disproportionate collapse. The DoD efforts have included laboratory and field experiments, numerical simulations, and development of design requirements. Synergy and coordination with the civilian community resulted in combined programs with the General Services Administration, guidance and feedback provided by the ASCE Structural Engineering Institute (SEI) Committee on Disproportionate Collapse Standards and Guidance (DCSG) and its members, and adoption of some European civilian approaches to progressive collapse design. A significant result of the DoD effort was the creation of Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) 4-023-03, Design of Buildings to Resist Progressive Collapse. The approaches employed in UFC 4-023-03 are currently being evaluated and modified for civilian applications by the SEI DCSG committee. The development and underlying approaches used in UFC 4-023-03 are briefly summarized in this paper, as are the previous DoD laboratory and field tests and numerical simulations.

A typical surface mixture commonly used in the state of Tennessee was evaluated at 0, 10, 20, and 30% RAP contents. Two types of aggregate (limestone and gravel) and three types of asphalt binders (PG 64-22, PG 70-22, and PG 76-22) were used in this study. Mixture cracking resistance was evaluated through Superpave indirect tension (IDT), beam fatigue, and semicircular bending (SCB) tests. The results from this study indicated that the inclusion of RAP generally increased stiffness and indirect tensile strength; however, it generally compromised cracking resistance for the mixtures studied. Mixture properties changed significantly at 30% RAP content as compared to those with 10 and 20% RAP. Field projects validated the findings from the laboratory study.

AB - Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is reported to be caused by exposure to traumatic events including (but not limited to) military combat, violent personal assault, being kidnapped or taken hostage and terrorist attacks. Initial data suggest that at least 1 out of 6 Iraq War veterans are exhibiting symptoms of depression, anxiety and PTSD. Virtual reality (VR) delivered exposure therapy for PTSD has been used with reports of positive outcomes. The aim of the current paper, is to present the rationale and brief description of a Virtual Iraq/Afghanistan PTSD VR therapy application and present initial findings from its use with PTSD patients. Thus far, Virtual Iraq/Afghanistan consists of a series of customizable virtual scenarios designed to represent relevant Middle Eastern VR contexts for exposure therapy, including a city and desert road convoy environment. User-centered design feedback, needed to iteratively evolve the system, was gathered from returning Iraq War veterans in the USA and from a system deployed in Iraq and tested by an Army Combat Stress Control Team. Results from an open clinical trial at San Diego Naval Medical Center of the first 20 treatment completers indicate that 16 no longer met PTSD screening criteria at post-treatment, with only one not maintaining treatment gains at 3 month follow-up.

The key to this ultra-high-power performance is electrodes made from vertically oriented graphene nanosheets grown directly on metal current collectors. This design minimized both electronic and ionic resistance and produced capacitors having RC time-constants of less than 200μs. Significantly, graphene nanosheets have a preponderance of exposed edge planes that greatly increase stored charge over designs relying on basal plane surfaces. Collectively these factors make vertically oriented graphene nanosheet electrodes ideally suited for producing high-frequency EDLCs. Capacitors constructed with these electrodes are predicted to be significantly smaller than aluminum electrolyte capacitors that they could functionally replace plus be manufactured using standard semiconductor process equipment, creating interesting commercial opportunities.

Ni and Al foils, 50 to 100 micrometers in thickness, were rolled and compacted to form a cylindrical casing with a density of 95% TMD through an explosive formation technique. Charges were prepared using 2 kg C4 explosive packed in the laminated casing to a metal-explosive mass ratio of 1.75. The blast pressure history measured on the chamber wall showed a double-shock front structure with a precursor shock followed by the primary blast. The front peak pressure for the Ni-Al cased charge reaches 1.5-2 times that of the Al cased, consistent with the larger fireball recorded for the Ni-Al cased. The long time quasi-static explosion pressure (QSP) from the NiAl cased charge is 0.8 of that of the Al cased, due to half of Al mass in the Ni-Al.

The U.S. military's use of nuclear weapons against Japan during World War II in 1945 reportedly caused the deaths of nearly 110,000 people in the Japanese cities of Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Even prior to the 1945 nuclear bombings in Japan, there were reportedly global collective agreements regarding nuclear arms disarmament.

Tests & Measures: Post-Deployment Health Assessment. Page Count: 15. AB - Since 2002, over 2 million U.S. service members have been deployed to war in Afghanistan and Iraq (Tan, 2009). Because on average each service member has 1.5 eligible dependents (i.e., spouses, children, adult dependents) this means that approximately 3 million family members have been directly affected by military deployment. This number increases when we consider the extended family, friends, and community members of these service members who are impacted. Service members and their families each deal with their own issues before and during the deployment. As a provider, it is important to understand the characteristics of these service members and their families, as well as the full range of issues and challenges they may face. Given the full spectrum of needs, a broad range of services is necessary to the well-being of service members, veterans, and their families: from day-to-day living (giving the kids a ride to activities, finding employment, and financial assistance) to inpatient psychiatric care. In addition to mental health care, children's issues, communication problems, attending to career and education struggles, housing needs, and more, are all important issues to address. The focus in this chapter is on the when, how, and where to find needed resources. Assessment is needed to determine when additional resources are needed and how to match the correct resource to a client. Assessment of service members or veterans requires understanding the context that surrounds individuals and their family members, including military culture, the screening processes in place, discovering the particular stressors affecting individuals and their families, and understanding the unique barriers to care that this cohort of veterans must overcome. Understanding the population and the individual will also help determine what type of resources this person might be interested in using. The second part of this chapter deals with knowing how and where to refer. We provide a categorical framework to use following assessment, which will help match those in need with the proper services. Together with follow-up to ensure that adequate service has been obtained, this is the formula that can make a difference in the life of a service member or veteran and his or her family. Knowledge about the existence of various resources and services will help to a degree. However, to provide optimal assistance it is best to understand the needs, the context, the potential barriers, and the resources.

But the world doesn't need austerity; it needs audacity-bold, inventive ideas that take on big problems. So HBR asked experts from a range of disciplines to propose them. Robert J. Shiller believes an innovative form of national financing can solve the global debt crisis. Enric Sala has a radical but simple idea for saving the oceans. Bruce Gibney and Ken Howery want venture capitalists to bet on breakthrough start-ups. Bruno S. Frey and Margit Osterloh argue that corporations have been hurt by pay-for-performance schemes and should toss them. Ellen Gustafson says we can end obesity and famine by changing the way we produce food. Gregg Easterbrook thinks NASA must find an affordable way to reach Mars. Doc Searls argues that companies should ditch their data and let consumers direct transactions. Ellen Goodman believes we can change the way we die. Wayne Porter has a new vision for Afghanistan. Linda A. Hill and Kent Lineback say crowdsourced reviews will make executives better managers. Parag Khanna and Karan Khemka think for-profit universities will jump-start the global economy. Arun Majumdar is looking for a battery to serve the bottom of the pyramid. And Eric Schmidt thinks social-impact bonds could transform the prison system.

JO - IEEE Communications Magazine JF - IEEE Communications Magazine Y1 - 2012/01// VL - 50 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 144 EP - 152 SN - 01636804 AB - Recent advancements in radio technology provide great flexibility and enhanced capabilities in executing wireless services. One of these capabilities that can provide significant advantages over traditional approaches is the concept of collaborative computing in wireless networks. With collaborative radio nodes, multiple independent radio nodes operate together to form a wireless distributed computing (WDC) network with significantly increased performance, operating efficiency, and abilities over a single node. WDC exploits wireless connectivity to share processing-intensive tasks among multiple devices. The goals are to reduce per-node and network resource requirements, and enable complex applications not otherwise possible, e.g., image processing in a network of small form factor radio nodes. As discussed in this article, WDC research aims to quantify the benefits of distributed processing over local processing, extend traditional distributed computing (DC) approaches to allow operation in dynamic radio environments, and meet design and implementation challenges unique to WDC with the help of recently available enabling technologies, such as software radios and cognitive radios.

During the period of 2006–2010, AVT-136 coordinated international contributions to assess the state-of-the-art and research challenges for the prediction of critical aerothermodynamic flight phenomena based on the extrapolation of ground test and numerical simulation. To achieve this goal, efforts were organized around six scientific topic areas: (1) Noses and leading edges, (2) Shock Interactions and Control Surfaces, (3) Shock Layers and Radiation, (4) Boundary Layer Transition, (5) Gas–Surface Interactions, and (6) Base and Afterbody Flows. A key component of the AVT-136 strategy was comparison of state-of-the-art numerical simulations with data to be acquired from planned flight research programs. Although it was recognized from the onset of AVT-136 activities that reliance on flight research data yet to be collected posed a significant risk, the group concluded the substantial benefit to be derived from comparison of computational simulations with flight data warranted pursuit of such a program of work. Unfortunately, program delays and failures in the flight programs contributing to the AVT-136 effort prevented timely access to flight research data. Despite this setback, most of the scientific topic areas developed by the Task Group made significant progress in the assessment of current capabilities. Additionally, the activities of AVT-136 generated substantial interest within the international scientific research community and the work of the Task Group was prominently featured in a total of six invited sessions in European and American technical conferences. In addition to this overview, reviews of the state-of-the-art and research challenges identified by the six research thrusts of AVT-136 are also included in this special journal edition.

Most nanostructures interact through van der Waals interactions, and these interactions typically lead to a reduction in thermal transport. Here, we show that the thermal conductivity of a bundle of boron nanoribbons can be significantly higher than that of a single free-standing nanoribbon. Moreover, the thermal conductivity of the bundle can be switched between the enhanced values and that of a single nanoribbon by wetting the van der Waals interface between the nanoribbons with various solutions.

This research was performed to study the kinetics associated with an optically pumped blue cesium laser operating on the 72P1/2-6S1/2 transition. Fluorescence decay curves from pulsed-laser experiments were analyzed as a function of buffer gas density at cell temperatures near 393 K. The fine-structure mixing cross sections for He, CH4, and C2H6 are 14 ± 3, 35 ± 6, and 73 ± 10 Â2, respectively. The 2P3/2 state is quenched more rapidly than the 2P1/2 state. A model that includes the effects of radiation trapping and independent quenching cross sections for each fine-structure sublevel is compared to the experimental data. The rapid quenching negatively impacts the performance of a recently demonstrated optically pumped blue laser. We compare the cross sections for alkali-metal and noble gases and extend the adiabaticity analysis to the higher-lying excited states.

AB - Blast injury to the brain is one of the major causes of death and can also significantly affect cognition and physical and psychological skills in survivors of blast. The complex mechanisms via which blast injury causes impairment of cognition and other symptoms are poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the effects of varying degrees of primary blast overpressure (BOP; 80 and 200 kPa) on the pathophysiological and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) changes and neurocognitive performance as assessed by the monkey Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (mCANTAB) in non-human primates (NHP). The study aimed to examine the effects of neurobehavioral and histopathological changes in NHP. MRI and histopathology revealed ultrastructural changes in the brain, notably in the Purkinje neurons in the cerebellum and pyramidal neurons in the hippocampus, which were most vulnerable to the blast. The results correlated well with the behavioral changes and changes in motor coordination and working memory of the affected monkeys. In addition, there was white matter damage affecting myelinated axons, astrocytic hypertrophy, and increased aquaporin-4 (AQP-4) expression in astrocytes, suggesting cerebral edema. Increased apoptosis appeared to involve astrocytes and oligodendrocytes in the animals following blast exposure. The small sample size could have contributed to the non-significant outcome in cognitive performance post-blast and limited quantitative analyses. Nevertheless, the study has provided initial descriptive changes for establishing a primary BOP threshold for brain injury to serve as a useful platform for future investigations that aim to estimate brain injury potential and set safe limits of exposure.

One relationship currently in use partitions the two categories using a linear model of aerosolized fraction versus fragment energy deposited per unit mass of liquid which is based on calculations and a few test data points. Since this model is incorporated in popular programs used by an expanding number of first responders to assess potential hazards, there is a need for high-confidence test data across the parameter space of interest to improve and/or validate the model. Such a series of tests was conducted during November of 2008 in which 7.57-liter (ℓ) sized cans of water were impacted with fragments of known mass using scored cased explosive charges. Impact velocities were measured, and the remaining water in the can and on the nearby ground platform was collected and weighed. The missing water was assumed to be aerosolized. This new data establishes an S-curve as a more accurate relationship between aerosolized fraction (AF) and the fragment energy deposited per unit mass of liquid in the container.

We present an implantable microcoil for diverse clinical applications, with a microliter coil volume. The design is loosely based on implantable depth electrodes, in which a flexible tube serves as the substrate, and a metal stylet is inserted into the tube during implantation. The goal is to provide enhanced signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of structures that are not easily accessed by surface coils. The first-generation prototype was designed for implantation up to 2 cm, and provided initial proof-of-concept for microscopy. Subsequently, we optimized the design to minimize the influence of lead inductances, and to thereby double the length of the implantable depth (4 cm). The second-generation design represents an estimated SNR improvement of over 30% as compared to the original design when extended to 4 cm. Impedance measurements indicate that the device is stable for up to 24 h in body temperature saline. We evaluated the SNR and MR-related heating of the device at 3T. The implantable microcoil can differentiate fat and water peaks, and resolve submillimeter features.

JO - Journal of Heat Transfer JF - Journal of Heat Transfer Y1 - 2012/10// VL - 134 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 11 SN - 00221481 AB - Biporous media consisting of microscale pin fins separated by microchannels are exam-ined as candidate structures for the evaporator wick of a vapor chamber heat pipe. The structures are fabricated out of silicon using standard lithography and etching techni-ques. Pores which separate microscale pin fins are used to generate high capillary suction, while larger microchannels are used to reduce overall flow resistance. The heat transfer coefficient is found to depend on the area coverage of a liquid film with thickness on the order of a few microns near the meniscus of the triple phase contact line. We manipulate the area coverage and film thickness by varying the suiface area-to-volume ratio through the use of microstructuring. Experiments are conducted for a heater area of 1 cm2 with the wick in a vertical orientation. Results are presented for structures with approximately same porosities, fixed microchannel widths w ≈ 30 nm and w ≈ 60 pm, and pin fin diameters ranging from d = 3-29 pm. The competing effects of increase in surface area due to microstructuring and the suppression of evaporation due to reduction in pore scale are explored. In some samples, a transition from evaporative heat transfer to nucleate boiling is observed. While it is difficult to identify when the transition occurs, one can identify regimes where evaporation dominates over nucleate boiling and vice versa. Heat transfer coefficients of 20.7 (±2.4) W/cm2-K are attained at heat fluxes of 119.6 (±4.2) Wlcm2 until the wick dries out in the evaporation dominated regime. In the nucleate boiling dominated regime, heat fluxes of 277.0 (±9.7) Wlcm2 can be dissipated by wicks with heaters of area 1 cm2, while heat fluxes up to 733.1 (±103.4) Wlcm2 can be dissipated by wicks with smaller heaters intended to simulate local hot-spots.

JO - Applied & Environmental Microbiology JF - Applied & Environmental Microbiology Y1 - 2012/12// VL - 78 IS - 23 M3 - Article SP - 2881 EP - 2888 SN - 00992240 AB - A variant of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki containing a single, stable copy of a uniquely amplifiable DNA oligomer inte-grated into the genome for tracking the fate of biological agents in the environment was developed. The use of genetically tagged spores overcomes the ambiguity of discerning the test material from pre-existing environmental microflora or from previously released background material. In this study, we demonstrate the utility of the genetically “barcoded” simulant in a controlled indoor setting and in an outdoor release. In an ambient breeze tunnel test, spores deposited on tiles were reaerosolized and de-tected by real-time PCR at distances of 30 m from the point of deposition. Real-time PCR signals were inversely correlated with distance from the seeded tiles. An outdoor release of powdered spore simulant at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Edgewood, MD, was monitored from a distance by a light detection and ranging (LIDAR) laser. Over a 2-week period, an array of air sampling units collected samples were analyzed for the presence of viable spores and using barcode-specific real-time PCR assays. Bar-coded B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki spores were unambiguously identified on the day of the release, and viable material was recovered in a pattern consistent with the cloud track predicted by prevailing winds and by data tracks provided by the LIDAR system. Finally, the real-time PCR assays successfully differentiated barcoded B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki spores from wild-type spores under field conditions.

JO - Applied & Environmental Microbiology JF - Applied & Environmental Microbiology Y1 - 2012/12// VL - 78 IS - 23 M3 - Article SP - 8272 EP - 8280 SN - 00992240 AB - The development of realistic risk models that predict the dissemination, dispersion and persistence of potential biothreat agents have utilized nonpathogenic surrogate organisms such as Bacillus atrophaeus subsp. globigii or commercial products such as Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki. Comparison of results from outdoor tests under different conditions requires the use of genetically identical strains; however, the requirement for isogenic strains limits the ability to compare other desirable proper-ties, such as the behavior in the environment of the same strain prepared using different methods. Finally, current methods do not allow long-term studies of persistence or reaerosolization in test sites where simulants are heavily used or in areas where B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki is applied as a biopesticide. To create a set of genetically heterogeneous yet phenotypically indistin-guishable strains so that variables intrinsic to simulations (e.g., sample preparation) can be varied and the strains can be tested under otherwise identical conditions, we have developed a strategy of introducing small genetic signatures (“barcodes”) into neutral regions of the genome. The barcodes are stable over 300 generations and do not impact in vitro growth or sporulation. Each barcode contains common and specific tags that allow differentiation of marked strains from wild-type strains and from each other. Each tag is paired with specific real-time PCR assays that facilitate discrimination of barcoded strains from wild-type strains and from each other. These uniquely barcoded strains will be valuable tools for research into the environmental fate of released organisms by providing specific artificial detection signatures.

JO - Optical Engineering JF - Optical Engineering Y1 - 2012/12// VL - 51 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 8 SN - 00913286 AB - The performance of a long-wave infrared type-II InAs/GaSb superlattice photodetector with a 50% cut-off wavelength of approximately 8.7 µm is presented. The ability to lower dark current densities over traditional P-type-Intrinsic-N-type diodes is offered by way of hetero-structure engineering of a pBiBn structure utilizing superlattice p-type (p) and n-type (n) contacts, an intrinsic (i) superlattice active (absorber) region, and unipolar superlattice electron and hole blocking (B) layers. The spectral response of this pBiBn detector structure was determined using a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, and the quantum efficiency was determined using a 6250 nm narrow band filter and a 500 K blackbody source. A diode structure designed, grown, and fabricated in this study yielded a dark current density of 1.05 x 10-5 A/cm² at a reverse bias of -50 mV and a specific detectivity value of greater than 10 Jones at 77 K. Theoretical fittings of the diode dark currents at 77 K were used in this study to help isolate the contributing current components observed in the empirical dark current data. A variable temperature study (80 to 300 K) of the dark current is presented for a diode demonstrating diffusion-limited dark current down to 77 K.

In keeping with those traditions. Murphy and Cooper present a model, along with international cases of healthy work organizations. The broad interdisciplinary framework of OHP has arisen in the United States because of the need for closer integration between psychology, related behavioral sciences, and occupational medicine to address the growing health and productivity costs of distress at work. While psychology and the behavioral sciences play important roles in areas of occupational safety and health, such as ergonomics, behavioral toxicology, behavioral safety, and employee assistance, Occupational health psychology is expanding the boundaries of established disciplines and integrating related domains of scientific knowledge and professional practice. The first section of this chapter provides a brief historical overview of OHP. The next section reviews the ecological dimensions of OHP. The third section presents a framework for preventive health management, and the fourth section presents an organizational health center model, followed by an OHP training model. A case of organizational transition is presented next, followed by a discussion of future directions.

JO - Inhalation Toxicology JF - Inhalation Toxicology Y1 - 2013/01// VL - 25 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 37 EP - 62 SN - 08958378 AB - Chemical warfare agents (CWAs) as well as biological toxins present a significant inhalation injury risk to both deployed warfighters and civilian targets of terrorist attacks. Inhalation of many CWAs and biological toxins can induce severe pulmonary toxicity leading to the development of acute lung injury (ALI) as well as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The therapeutic options currently used to treat these conditions are very limited and mortality rates remain high. Recent evidence suggests that human stem cells may provide significant therapeutic options for ALI and ARDS in the near future. The threat posed by CWAs and biological toxins for both civilian populations and military personnel is growing, thus understanding the mechanisms of toxicity and potential therapies is critical. This review will outline the pulmonary toxic effects of some of the most common CWAs and biological toxins as well as the potential role of stem cells in treating these types of toxic lung injuries.

Association of Military Surgeons of the U.S. AB - Objectives: This study identifies predictors of prescription drug misuse among U.S. active duty service members (ADSM). The 2008 Department of Defense Survey of Health-Related Behaviors (HRB) Among Active Duty Military Personnel indicated that ADSM misuse pain relievers, tranquilizers, sedatives, and stimulants at levels ranging from 2% to 17%. Methods: Secondary, multivariate analyses of HRB survey data examined predictors of self-reported prescription drug misuse for 4 distinct drug categories. Results: Receipt of a pain reliever prescription in the past month, year, or previous year were strong predictors (adjusted odds ratio above 2.0) of misuse for all drug categories; receipt of a prescription for anxiety or depression medication in the past year was the strongest predictor of sedative misuse (adjusted odds ratio = 4.46, 95% confidence intervals 3.18–6.24). Absence of a drug testing program was significantly related to the likelihood of drug misuse for all drug categories. Conclusions: ADSM with a history of treatment for pain and mood disorders, and who self-report headaches, sleep disorders, and fatigue are at higher risk for misusing prescription drugs, perhaps in an effort to self-manage symptoms. The results should be interpreted as a starting place for future exploration, not as the sole basis for policy or program development.

Since methylphenidate is the primary drug used to treat ADHD, it is likely that many adolescents are exposed to both methylphenidate and nicotine. Recent studies have established that adolescent nicotine induces long-term changes in several neurobehavioral variables. Limited data also suggest that adolescent methylphenidate may affect neural development. Nicotine tolerance is a well-established behavioral phenomenon in rodents, yet the underlying mechanism remains elusive. Recent theories suggest that changes in ventral striatal dopamine indices may relate to nicotine tolerance. As an initial determination of whether nicotine and methylphenidate have additive effects on neurobehavioral development, the present study investigated the combined effects of adolescent nicotine [2 mg/kg/d] alone or in conjunction with methylphenidate [1.5 mg/kg, 2 × daily] following a one-month drug free period on adult behavioral tolerance to nicotine [0.5 mg/kg s.c.] and its relation to dopamine receptor mRNA expression in the ventral striatum. Animals with chronic combined (nicotine + methylphenidate) adolescent exposure displayed stronger tolerance as adults to the nicotine-induced locomotor effects in comparison to animals with adolescent exposure to nicotine alone, methylphenidate alone, or controls. Combined chronic adolescent exposure significantly elevated adult D3nf mRNA expression levels in the nucleus accumbens, however a single nicotine injection in adults increased D3nf mRNA levels in naïve animals and decreased D3nf mRNA levels in those that had been previously exposed to combined stimulants during adolescence. Conversely, a single adult nicotine injection increased D1mRNA levels in the adult nucleus accumbens, particularly in the shell, but only in rats previously exposed to nicotine or methylphenidate as adolescents. To our knowledge this is the first study that has shown long-term behavioral and neurochemical changes stemming from low chronic exposure of these two commonly co-consumed stimulants during adolescence.

A 2½-year field experiment was conducted at a closed landfill in western Michigan where methanotrophs, methane-consuming bacteria, were stimulated by nutrient addition to the soil without significantly increasing biogenic nitrous oxide (N2O) production. The effects of the nitrogen amendments (KNO3and NH4Cl), phenylacetylene (a selective inhibitor of nitrifying bacteria that contribute to N2O production), and a canopy (to reduce direct water infiltration) on the vertical soil gas profiles of CH4, CO2, and O2were measured in the top meter of the soil. Methane and nitrous oxide fluxes were calculated from the corresponding soil gas concentration gradients with respect to depth and a Millington–Quirk diffusivity coefficient in soil derived empirically from soil porosity, water content, and diffusivity coefficients in air from the literature. Methane flux estimates were as high as 218.4 g m−2day−1in the fall and 12.8 g/m−2day−1in the summer. During the spring and summer, CH4fluxes were reduced by more than half by adding KNO3and NH4Cl into the soil as compared to control plots, while N2O fluxes increased substantially. The concurrent addition of phenylacetylene to the amendment decreased peak N2O production by half and the rate of peak methane oxidation by about one-third. The seasonal average methane and N2O flux data were extrapolated to estimate the reduction of CH4and N2O fluxes into the atmosphere by nitrogen and inhibitor addition to the cover soils. The results suggest that such additions coupled with soil moisture management may provide a potential strategy to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from landfills.

JO - PLoS Pathogens JF - PLoS Pathogens Y1 - 2013/04// VL - 9 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 14 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 15537366 AB - LJ001 is a lipophilic thiazolidine derivative that inhibits the entry of numerous enveloped viruses at non-cytotoxic concentrations (IC50 ≤ 0.5 µM), and was posited to exploit the physiological difference between static viral membranes and biogenic cellular membranes. We now report on the molecular mechanism that results in LJ001's specific inhibition of virus-cell fusion. The antiviral activity of LJ001 was light-dependent, required the presence of molecular oxygen, and was reversed by singlet oxygen (¹O2) quenchers, qualifying LJ001 as a type II photosensitizer. Unsaturated phospholipids were the main target modified by LJ001-generated ¹O2. Hydroxylated fatty acid species were detected in model and viral membranes treated with LJ001, but not its inactive molecular analog, LJ025. ¹O2-mediated allylic hydroxylation of unsaturated phospholipids leads to a trans-isomerization of the double bond and concurrent formation of a hydroxyl group in the middle of the hydrophobic lipid bilayer. LJ001-induced ¹O2-mediated lipid oxidation negatively impacts on the biophysical properties of viral membranes (membrane curvature and fluidity) critical for productive virus-cell membrane fusion. LJ001 did not mediate any apparent damage on biogenic cellular membranes, likely due to multiple endogenous cytoprotection mechanisms against phospholipid hydroperoxides. Based on our understanding of LJ001's mechanism of action, we designed a new class of membrane-intercalating photosensitizers to overcome LJ001's limitations for use as an in vivo antiviral agent. Structure activity relationship (SAR) studies led to a novel class of compounds (oxazolidine-2,4-dithiones) with (1) 100-fold improved in vitro potency (IC50 < 10 µM), (2) red-shifted absorption spectra (for better tissue penetration), (3) increased quantum yield (efficiency of ¹O2 generation), and (4) 10-100-fold improved bioavailability. Candidate compounds in our new series moderately but significantly (p≤0.01) delayed the time to death in a murine lethal challenge model of Rift Valley Fever Virus (RVFV). The viral membrane may be a viable target for broad-spectrum antivirals that target virus-cell fusion.

Test items were configured in a two inch long cylindrical shape with a half inch diameter core of organic explosive. The core was surrounded by a particle bed of aluminum or tungsten powder of a specific particle size distribution. Position data from the leading edge of the particle fronts for each charge was recorded with a high speed framing camera at early time and with a particle image velocimetry (PIV) instrument at later time to determine particle velocity. Using a PIV image, a velocity gradient along the length of the particle field was established by using the mean particle velocity value determined from three separate horizontal bands that transverse the particle field. The results showed slower particles at the beginning of the particle field closest to the source and faster ones at the end. Differences in particle dispersal, luminescence, and agglomeration were seen when changes in the initial particle size and material type were made. The aluminum powders showed extensive luminescence with agglomeration forming large particle structures while the tungsten powder showed little luminescence, agglomeration and no particle structures. Combining velocity data from the high speed framing camera and PIV, the average drag coefficient for each powder type was determined. The particle field velocities and drag coefficients at one meter showed good agreement with the numerical data produced from a computational fluid dynamics code that takes advantage of both Eulerian and Lagrangian solvers to track individual particles after a set post detonation time interval.

We argue that the inherent limitations of the prevailing "remote cooling" technology have resulted in commercial and military electronic systems that are thermally-limited, peiforming well below the inherent electrical capability of the device technology they exploit. To overcome these limitations and remove a significant barrier to continued Moore's law progression in electronic components and systems, DARPA is pursuing the aggressive development of thermal management "embedded" in the chip, substrate, and/or package to directly cool the heat generation sites. The options and challenges associated with the development of this "Gen-3" thermal management technology are described.

This challenge exists because agricultural data are inherently variable, experimental techniques are crop-dependent, and the literatures usually report relative, rather than absolute, values. Here, we discuss the ‘PETRO approach’, a systematic approach to evaluate new crops. This approach accounts for not only the capture of solar energy but also the capture of atmospheric carbon (as CO2) to generate a final carbon-based liquid fuel product. The energy yield, per unit area, of biofuel crops grown in different climate zones can thus be benchmarked and quantitatively compared in terms of both carbon gain and solar energy conversion efficiency.

Performance of a complete IPE system can be determined from the knowledge of the performance characteristics of the IPE subsystems, or components. Here, particle penetration characteristics of a cylindrical-shaped component, consisting of an outer fabric sleeve enclosing an inner appendage, were studied as a function of particle size and ambient wind conditions. A component particle penetration model was developed by combining a potential flow model to calculate flow through and around a component with a filtration model. The filtration model combines classical filtration theory with simple bench-top experiments to determine net particle penetration. The component model predictions of particle penetration through a cylindrical component suggest that its filtration performance is strongly dependent on particle size and ambient wind velocities. To test model predictions, wind-tunnel experiments were conducted over an ambient wind velocity range of 10–80 mph (5–40 m s−1) and particle diameter range of 10 nm to 2 μm. The experimental results validated model predictions of particle penetration through a cylindrical component. The component model can be extended to model the integrated IPE system considering it to be composed of a combination of cylindrical components.

The Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) serves the Department of Defense (DoD) research and engineering community as the central resource for DoD-funded scientific, technical, engineering, and business information and exchange. Furthermore, DTIC fulfills a key role by producing secure collaborative tools that facilitate a rapid response to current and emerging threats. The new Research & Engineering (R&E) Gateway (created by DTIC), which includes DoDTechipedia, DoDTechSpace, Search and Analytics, and the Information Analysis Centers and Defense Innovation Marketplace, are aimed at enhancing DoD's ability to collaborate across the defense enterprise, identify solutions for technology challenges, and seek ways to ensure that taxpayer dollars are spent in an efficient manner. This article will examine the approach taken to develop the collaborative tools, intended goals, challenges to adoption of the sites, and some lessons learned. It will also review how DTIC has provided its registered customers with robust social media tools, albeit limited to the defense community.

JO - Journal of Theoretical Biology JF - Journal of Theoretical Biology Y1 - 2013/07/21/ VL - 329 M3 - Article SP - 20 EP - 31 SN - 00225193 AB - Abstract: There is a need to advance our ability to conduct credible human risk assessments for inhalational anthrax associated with exposure to a low number of bacteria. Combining animal data with computational models of disease will be central in the low-dose and cross-species extrapolations required in achieving this goal. The objective of the current work was to apply and advance the competing risks (CR) computational model of inhalational anthrax where data was collected from NZW rabbits exposed to aerosols of Ames strain Bacillus anthracis. An initial aim was to parameterize the CR model using high-dose rabbit data and then conduct a low-dose extrapolation. The CR low-dose attack rate was then compared against known low-dose rabbit data as well as the low-dose curve obtained when the entire rabbit dose–response data set was fitted to an exponential dose–response (EDR) model. The CR model predictions demonstrated excellent agreement with actual low-dose rabbit data. We next used a modified CR model (MCR) to examine disease incubation period (the time to reach a fever >40°C). The MCR model predicted a germination period of 14.5h following exposure to a low spore dose, which was confirmed by monitoring spore germination in the rabbit lung using PCR, and predicted a low-dose disease incubation period in the rabbit between 14.7 and 16.8 days. Overall, the CR and MCR model appeared to describe rabbit inhalational anthrax well. These results are discussed in the context of conducting laboratory studies in other relevant animal models, combining the CR/MCR model with other computation models of inhalational anthrax, and using the resulting information towards extrapolating a low-dose response prediction for man.

JO - Journal of AOAC International JF - Journal of AOAC International Y1 - 2013/09//Sep/Oct2013 VL - 96 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 947 EP - 950 PB - AOAC International SN - 10603271 AB - The AOAC Quantitative Three Step Method (TSM; AOAC Official MethodSM 2008.05) is validated for testing the efficacy of liquid sporicides against spores of Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus anthracis on selected hard, nonporous, and porous surfaces. The TSM uses 5 X 5 X 1 mm inoculated coupons (carriers), which are placed in 400 µL liquid sporicidal agent contained in a microcentrifuge tube. Following exposure of inoculated carriers to the test chemical and subsequent neutralization, viable spores are recovered in three fractions: A (gentle tapping), B (sonication), and C (gentle agitation). The spores in suspension are serially diluted and plated on a recovery medium for enumeration. The plate counts are summed over the three fractions to provide the number of viable spores per carrier, which is log10-transformed to generate a mean log density (LD) value across carriers. As a measure of product efficacy, a log reduction (LR) value is calculated by subtracting the mean LD for treated carriers from the mean LD for control carriers. This paper reports on the comparative evaluation of the current and modified versions of the TSM in order to support a modification to simplify the procedure. The proposed modified TSM (mTSM) consolidates fractions B and C in the same tube. Thus, the sonication (fraction B) and gentle agitation (fraction C) steps are carried out in the same tube, thereby reducing the number of tubes and associated resources and time necessary to complete the test. Glass, steel, pine wood, and ceramic tile carriers were included in the comparative study. Inoculated carriers were evaluated against two preparations of sodium hypochlorite to generate two presumed levels of efficacy (intermediate and high); the control LD and LR values associated with testing each carrier type for the TSM and the mTSM were compared. For control carriers, the mean log densities per carrier (for each carrier material) were not significantly different based on the TSM compared to the mTSM. Furthermore, the treated carrier data showed comparable LR values for the TSM and mTSM. The data provided in this report demonstrate equivalency between the TSM and mTSM and support the proposed procedural modification to consolidate fractions B and C.

AB - Pressures to increase the efficacy and effectiveness of medical training are causing the Department of Defense to investigate the use of simulation technologies. This article describes a comprehensive cognitive task analysis technique that can be used to simultaneously generate training requirements, performance metrics, scenario requirements, and simulator/simulation requirements for medical tasks. On the basis of a variety of existing techniques, we developed a scenario-based approach that asks experts to perform the targeted task multiple times, with each pass probing a different dimension of the training development process. In contrast to many cognitive task analysis approaches, we argue that our technique can be highly cost effective because it is designed to accomplish multiple goals. The technique was pilot tested with expert instructors from a large military medical training command. These instructors were employed to generate requirements for two selected combat casualty care tasks—cricothyroidotomy and hemorrhage control. Results indicated that the technique is feasible to use and generates usable data to inform simulation-based training system design.

This electrode utilizes a rigid, electrically conductive, nanoporous carbon aerogel scaffold by incorporating tin acetate, Sn(CH3COO)2, into the scaffold pore volume through melt infusion. Incorporation of the Sn(CH3COO)2 by melt infusion ensures a chemically stable contact with the scaffold. The mechanical rigidity of the pore volume confines the Sn to nanometer dimensions without sintering, leading to stable cycling. Separation of the synthesis of the scaffold from the loading with Sn(CH3COO)2 permits optimized division of the scaffold pore volume for expansion and electrolyte access during reaction with Li. Using this design, an electrode based on an aerogel with a 5 nm mode pore size was cycled over 300 times without degradation. In addition, after subtracting the contribution from the carbon scaffold, the capacity exceeded the theoretical capacity for Sn, due to an oxidation reaction occurring at 1.2 V. This excess capacity may be related to the solid–solid or solid–electrolyte interfaces in the electrode, possibly representing a new reversible Li ion reaction.

JO - Atmospheric Environment JF - Atmospheric Environment Y1 - 2013/12// VL - 80 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 12 SN - 13522310 AB - Abstract: There are a variety of applications that require the use of comprehensive specification of the weather conditions combined with an analysis that uses detailed modeling and simulation. The combination of these two elements can make it difficult to achieve the desired level of fidelity in a logistically feasible way. An example of this type of application is the deployment of surface-based sensors/samplers, which is a common practice for emission, and air quality monitoring purposes where the proper selection of sites for the measurement equipment is critical to an accurate characterization of the emissions. This is particularly true in urban environments where the limited availability of suitable sites and the non-intuitive dispersion patterns associated with the wind flow around the buildings and through the urban canyons make site selection difficult. This article demonstrates an improved methodology for optimally locating for air quality monitoring equipment within this complex and challenging environment. The methodology involves a) the utilization of a longer climatological record of meteorological observations or gridded reanalysis products to better represent the full range of representative meteorological conditions; b) reduction of the full climatological record into a subset of characteristic meteorological patterns and associated frequencies of occurrence, utilizing a multi-dimensional feature extraction and classification technique known as a Self Organizing Map (SOM); c) downscaling and diagnosis of the urban area building-aware wind flow fields for each characteristic meteorological pattern; d) atmospheric transport and dispersion (AT&D) simulations for each downscaled meteorological pattern, utilizing a building aware Lagrangian particle dispersion model; and finally e) the combination of predicted downwind concentrations/dosages for each meteorological pattern with their associated frequency of occurrence are used to generate Probability of Detection/Exceedence spatial maps for prescribed concentration thresholds or standards. The method is flexible and can be tuned to allow the detailed characterization of Probability of Detection (POD) for a given sampler detection threshold and sampling period (e.g. sampling duration, season, time of day). An example of this methodology is illustrated for a single facility in an urban location surrounded by numerous multi-story buildings.

Inverse-mode, \geq 1.0~\Gbps SiGe digital logic using standard, unoptimized, fourth-generation SiGe HBTs is demonstrated and the inverse-mode shift register exhibited a reduction in bit-error cross section across all ion-strike LETs. Ion-strike simulations on dc calibrated, 3-D TCAD SiGe HBT models show a reduction in peak current transient magnitude and a reduction in overall transient duration for bulk SiGe HBTs operating in inverse mode. These improvements in device-level SETs are attributed to the electrical isolation of the physical emitter from the subcollector-substrate junction and the high doping in the SiGe HBT base and emitter, suggesting that SiGe BiCMOS technology scaling will drive further improvements in inverse-mode device and circuit-level SEE. Two-photon absorption experiments at NRL support the transient mechanisms described in the device-level TCAD simulations. Fully-coupled mixed-mode simulations predict large improvements in circuit-level SEU for inverse-mode SiGe HBTs in multi-Gbps, inverse-mode digital logic.

JO - Robotica JF - Robotica Y1 - 2013/12// VL - 31 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 1313 EP - 1318 SN - 02635747 AB - Series elastic actuators have beneficial properties for some robot applications. Several recent implementations contain alternative placements of the compliant element to improve instrumentation design. We use a class 1 versus class 2 lever model and energy-port methods to demonstrate in this paper that these alternative placements should still be classified as series elastic actuators. We also note that the compliance of proximal series elastic actuators is reflected by an augmented gear ratio dependent on the nominal gear ratio, which is significant for small gear ratios and approaches unity for large gear ratios. This reflected compliance is shown to differ depending on the sign of the gear ratio. We demonstrate that although the reflected compliance is only marginally influenced by the magnitude of the gear ratio, there are several notable differences, particularly for small gear ratios.

AB - Military programs for families have evolved in the past decade to address changing demands in the context of increased deployments and ongoing relocations, and as this has occurred, the research agenda for family support has shifted. As the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan grew, the central research question in military family policy was 'What is the impact of deployments on service members and families?' Later, the focus shifted to 'What is the impact of the programs on service members and families?' For research to be influential in the military policy setting, it must address the military population and it must provide actionable findings. The recent shift in focus, which reflects a constricting budget climate, means that programs need concrete evidence that outcomes are linked to key military objectives, such as being ready to carry out the mission (readiness) and willingness to stay in the military (retention). Despite significant challenges, there are real opportunities to expand research and evaluation work, with the potential to tie changes in individual and group behavior to components of government social programs. The reintegration of military members into families and civilian life will require ongoing research on the long-term impacts of military service during sustained years of combat deployments.

JO - CTS: Clinical & Translational Science JF - CTS: Clinical & Translational Science Y1 - 2014/02// VL - 7 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 52 EP - 59 SN - 17528054 AB - Our research group recently demonstrated that a person with tetraplegia could use a brain-computer interface (BCI) to control a sophisticated anthropomorphic robotic arm with skill and speed approaching that of an able-bodied person. This multiyear study exemplifies important principles in translating research from foundational theory and animal experiments into a clinical study. We present a roadmap that may serve as an example for other areas of clinical device research as well as an update on study results. Prior to conducting a multiyear clinical trial, years of animal research preceded BCI testing in an epilepsy monitoring unit, and then in a short-term (28 days) clinical investigation. Scientists and engineers developed the necessary robotic and surgical hardware, software environment, data analysis techniques, and training paradigms. Coordination among researchers, funding institutes, and regulatory bodies ensured that the study would provide valuable scientific information in a safe environment for the study participant. Finally, clinicians from neurosurgery, anesthesiology, physiatry, psychology, and occupational therapy all worked in a multidisciplinary team along with the other researchers to conduct a multiyear BCI clinical study. This teamwork and coordination can be used as a model for others attempting to translate basic science into real-world clinical situations.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science JF - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science Y1 - 2014/03// VL - 61 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 756 EP - 765 SN - 00189499 AB - The impact of single event transients (SETs) on single-pole double-throw (SPDT) RF switch circuits designed in a commercially-available, 180 nm second-generation SiGe BiCMOS (IBM 7HP) technology is investigated. The intended application for these SPDT RF switches requires a 1 GHz to 20 GHz band of operation, relatively low insertion loss (< 3.0~\dB at 20 GHz), and moderate isolation ( > 15~\dB at 20 GHz). Two-photon absorption experiment results reveal that the SPDT switches are vulnerable to SETs due to biasing effects as well as the triple-well (TW) nFETs, which are found to be more sensitive to SETs than bulk nFETs. From these results, potential implications are discussed and mitigation strategies are proposed. To verify one of the proposed mitigation techniques, SPDT switches were also designed in a 180 nm twin-well SOI CMOS (IBM 7RF-SOI) technology. A different biasing technique is implemented to help improve the SET response. The fabricated SOI SPDT switches achieve an insertion loss of < 1.04~\dB at 20 GHz and > 21~\dB isolation at 20 GHz. For this circuit, no transients were observed even at very high laser energies ( \approx 5~\nJ).

JO - IEEE Communications Magazine JF - IEEE Communications Magazine Y1 - 2014/05// VL - 52 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 77 EP - 85 SN - 01636804 AB - Fifth generation wireless systems (5G) must achieve high user Quality of Experience (QoE) in order to compete for market share. Each candidate 5G wireless radio frequency (RF) band offers advantages such as longer range or higher data rate than 2G, 3G, and 4G, but no single band or air interface standard by itself fully achieves ubiquitous levels of QoE for the complete range of wireless access devices. Spectrum clearing cannot keep pace with user demand, so public-private spectrum sharing is emerging as an affordable, near-term method of increasing radio access network (RAN) capacities for content delivery. This paper presents a fresh look at QoE; spectrum scarcity; public uses that underutilize candidate 5G radio frequency (RF) spectrum; and emerging public-private radio interference management frameworks that enable near-term spectrum sharing, with positive consequences for 5G price, performance, and total user QoE.

JO - Nature Chemical Biology JF - Nature Chemical Biology Y1 - 2014/05// VL - 10 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 331 EP - 339 SN - 15524450 AB - If methane, the main component of natural gas, can be efficiently converted to liquid fuels, world reserves of methane could satisfy the demand for transportation fuels in addition to use in other sectors. However, the direct activation of strong C-H bonds in methane and conversion to desired products remains a difficult technological challenge. This perspective reveals an opportunity to rethink the logic of biological methane activation and conversion to liquid fuels. We formulate a vision for a new foundation for methane bioconversion and suggest paths to develop technologies for the production of liquid transportation fuels from methane at high carbon yield and high energy efficiency and with low CO2 emissions. These technologies could support natural gas bioconversion facilities with a low capital cost and at small scales, which in turn could monetize the use of natural gas resources that are frequently flared, vented or emitted.

JO - Toxicological Sciences JF - Toxicological Sciences Y1 - 2014/07// VL - 140 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 179 EP - 189 SN - 10966080 AB - Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease. Much data has linked the etiology of PD to a variety of environmental factors. The majority of cases are thought to arise from a combination of genetic susceptibility and environmental factors. Chronic exposures to dietary factors, including meat, have been identified as potential risk factors. Although heterocyclic amines that are produced during high-temperature meat cooking are known to be carcinogenic, their effect on the nervous system has yet to be studied in depth. In this study, we investigated neurotoxic effects of 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP), a highly abundant heterocyclic amine in cooked meat, in vitro. We tested toxicity of PhIP and the two major phase I metabolites, N-OH-PhIP and 4′-OH-PhIP, using primary mesencephalic cultures from rat embryos. This culture system contains both dopaminergic and nondopaminergic neurons, which allows specificity of neurotoxicity to be readily examined. We find that exposure to PhIP or N-OH-PhIP is selectively toxic to dopaminergic neurons in primary cultures, resulting in a decreased percentage of dopaminergic neurons. Neurite length is decreased in surviving dopaminergic neurons. Exposure to 4′-OH-PhIP did not produce significant neurotoxicity. PhIP treatment also increased formation of oxidative damage markers, 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE) and 3-nitrotyrosine in dopaminergic neurons. Pretreatment with N-acetylcysteine was protective. Finally, treatment with blueberry extract, a dietary factor with known antioxidant and other protective mechanisms, prevented PhIP-induced toxicity. Collectively, our study suggests, for the first time, that PhIP is selectively toxic to dopaminergic neurons likely through inducing oxidative stress.

The needs of participating families are treated in some detail, as are inducing the business investments. Also discussed is the political context. There is a suggestion that advantage might be taken of the extremely rapid changes, due to technology, in both the manufacturing and the design of products. Regarding design, there is now great emphasis on affordability e. g. products such as cookstoves. More important could be components for some of the remarkable new house designs. The model is embodied in a spreadsheet. The spreadsheet is parameterized for easy flexible use for testing various technical and behavioral assumptions.

JO - Transportation Research: Part D JF - Transportation Research: Part D Y1 - 2014/10// VL - 32 M3 - Article SP - 411 EP - 420 SN - 13619209 AB - Global GHG emissions from air travel are currently at 3% and it could increase to 15% of the total GHG emissions by 2050. To curb the growth of GHG emissions from air travel, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has created a policy to achieve carbon neutral growth by 2020 relative to the 2005 baseline. If the airline industry is to both grow and meet the objectives set by this policy, new and innovative aircraft designs, operational efficiencies, and widespread use of alternate fuels are required. To accomplish this would require large research and development investment. The federal government and state governments have passed legislations that provide tax breaks and other incentives to encourage investments in new technologies. One such tax policies is cap and trade system. This had partial success in reducing GHG emissions in certain industries but was not successful in the airline industry. This paper presents alternate methods to raise capital to invest in GHG emissions reduction projects in the airline sector. The four methodologies presented here monetizes the GHG emissions resulting from differences in load factor (ratio of number of passengers to number of seats) and GHG emissions per passenger-mile among different airlines, among different flight sectors, etc. to raise the capital. Based on 2012 air travel data, these methodologies could raise more than $300 million dollars annually to invest in GHG emissions reduction projects.

MB sources are more compact and less complicated than narrowband HPM sources, and they possess increased energy spectral density per pulse relative to ultrawideband HPM sources. In this paper we consider the design of a MB HPM system that operates at the low end of the VHF spectrum (below 50 MHz) that is based on a self-resonant, electrically small antenna (ESA). The ESA is based on a conical folded helix design. It is slowly charged up to high voltage, and it is then switched using a fast-rise time switch to convert the stored static energy into radiated electromagnetic fields. Here we show the design, modeling, and preliminary experimental results of the source operating as low as 38 MHz at an electrical size of ka =0.43, where a is the radius of a sphere circumscribing the source. Experimental results are obtained in the far field for a charge voltage of 30 kV.

Both device and circuit results are presented. A bandgap reference circuit topology is chosen to monitor for ELDRS in TID-induced collector current shifts, which have previously been reported in low dose rate studies of SiGe HBTs. The results in this paper also cover previous technology generations from this foundry in order to incorporate a broader view of dose rate effects in SiGe HBTs. No indication of ELDRS was found in any technology generation.

Pulsed-laser, two-photon absorption experiments show that the pnp SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistor (SiGe HBT) exhibits a significant reduction in sensitive area as well as an improved transient response compared with the npn SiGe HBT. Ion-strike simulations on 3-D TCAD, C-SiGe HBT models agree with experimental findings, showing a reduction in overall transient duration and collected charge for the pnp SiGe HBT. These improvements in device-level SETs are attributed to the n-well isolation layer present in the vertical material stack of the pnp HBT. These results suggest that precision analog, RF/mm-wave, and high-speed digital applications utilizing unhardened, high-performance bulk pnp SiGe HBTs should benefit from an inherently improved SEE response.

The concept of utilizing inverse-mode SiGe HBTs in current mirror circuits is investigated. Measurement results validate the feasibility of employing inverse-mode PNP SiGe HBTs in current mirrors and show an excellent resilience against ion-strikes. Full 3-D NanoTCAD models of the SiGe HBTs are developed and used in mixed-mode TCAD simulations (within Cadence) to validate the measurement results. Finally, based on the measurement data and analysis of the four current mirrors, some practical suggestions and observations are offered for operation of such circuits in extreme environments.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science JF - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science Y1 - 2014/12//Dec2014 Part 1 VL - 61 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 3218 EP - 3225 SN - 00189499 AB - A SiGe RF low-noise amplifier (LNA) with built-in tolerance to single-event transients is proposed. The LNA utilizes an inverse-mode SiGe HBT for the common-base transistor in a cascode core. This new cascode configuration exhibits reduced transient peaks and shorter transient durations compared to the conventional cascode one. The improved SET response was verified with through-wafer two-photon absorption pulsed-laser experiments and supported via mixed-mode TCAD simulations. In addition, analysis of the RF performance and the reliability issues associated with the inverse-mode operation further suggests this new cascode structure can be a strong contender for space-based applications. The LNA with the inverse-mode-based cascode core was fabricated in a 130 nm SiGe BiCMOS platform and has similar RF performance to the conventional schematic-based LNA, further validating the proposed approach.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science JF - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science Y1 - 2014/12//Dec2014 Part 1 VL - 61 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 3226 EP - 3235 SN - 00189499 AB - An 8–18 GHz receiver implemented in silicon-germanium (SiGe) BiCMOS technology is presented. The receiver is designed to enable built-in test (BIT) and consists of a low noise amplifier (LNA), an image-reject mixer, on-chip, automatic gain control (AGC), ring oscillator (RO) sources (used to provide test signals of a predefined amplitude), and digital-to-analog converters (DACs), used for DC bias control of the blocks. The voltage and current biases of both the LNA and the mixer circuit blocks are used as tuning knobs for radio frequency (RF) performance metrics to mitigate the negative effects of total ionizing dose (TID) radiation damage present in extreme environments such as space. Samples of the receiver die were exposed to 10 keV X-rays at 1, 3, and 6 Mrad(SiO_2) doses. The BIT system was able to mitigate for TID damage in most cases, with improvements in the key RF metrics of gain, output third-order intercept point (OIP3), and noise figure (NF). The receiver was fabricated in an 0.18~\mu\m SiGe BiCMOS process technology with a peak f_T of 150 GHz and nominally consumes 241–243 mA from a 4~\V supply.

T1 - Interrogation of the Burkholderia pseudomallei Genome to Address Differential Virulence among Isolates. JO - PLoS ONE JF - PLoS ONE Y1 - 2014/12// VL - 9 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 27 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 19326203 AB - Infection by the Gram-negative pathogen Burkholderia pseudomallei results in the disease melioidosis, acquired from the environment in parts of southeast Asia and northern Australia. Clinical symptoms of melioidosis range from acute (fever, pneumonia, septicemia, and localized infection) to chronic (abscesses in various organs and tissues, most commonly occurring in the lungs, liver, spleen, kidney, prostate and skeletal muscle), and persistent infections in humans are difficult to cure. Understanding the basic biology and genomics of B. pseudomallei is imperative for the development of new vaccines and therapeutic interventions. This formidable task is becoming more tractable due to the increasing number of B. pseudomallei genomes that are being sequenced and compared. Here, we compared three B. pseudomallei genomes, from strains MSHR668, K96243 and 1106a, to identify features that might explain why MSHR668 is more virulent than K96243 and 1106a in a mouse model of B. pseudomallei infection. Our analyses focused on metabolic, virulence and regulatory genes that were present in MSHR668 but absent from both K96243 and 1106a. We also noted features present in K96243 and 1106a but absent from MSHR668, and identified genomic differences that may contribute to variations in virulence noted among the three B. pseudomallei isolates. While this work contributes to our understanding of B. pseudomallei genomics, more detailed experiments are necessary to characterize the relevance of specific genomic features to B. pseudomallei metabolism and virulence. Functional analyses of metabolic networks, virulence and regulation shows promise for examining the effects of B. pseudomallei on host cell metabolism and will lay a foundation for future prediction of the virulence of emerging strains. Continued emphasis in this area will be critical for protection against melioidosis, as a better understanding of what constitutes a fully virulent Burkholderia isolate may provide for better diagnostic and medical countermeasure strategies.

First, I introduce my experience as a security sector advisor, before reviewing the general roles and missions of such advisors. Next, I describe how negotiations will need lo be conducted as an advisor, with particular emphasis on the micro-negotiations of advisor tradecraft that advance capacity building in small, measured ways. Additionally, I describe how the nature of these negotiations can change over the time frame of an advisor's presence in a security sector reform environment. Some of the main challenges in advising and advisor negotiations are reviewed followed by a survey of restorative best practices that should inform security sector advisors seeking greater and more sustainable success. Lastly, I conclude by examining why training for security sector advisors is critical, but often nol well done, and how trainers and advisors might pursue more rigorous preparatory training programs so as lo produce better outcomes in future security sector reform contexts.

There is broad interest in improving detection and diagnosis of this disease not only in melioidosis-endemic regions but also outside these regions because melioidosis may be underreported and poses a potential bioterrorism challenge for public health authorities. Therefore, a workshop of academic, government, and private sector personnel from around the world was convened to discuss the current state of melioidosis diagnostics, diagnostic needs, and future directions.

There is broad interest in improving detection and diagnosis of this disease not only in melioidosis-endemic regions but also outside these regions because melioidosis may be underreported and poses a potential bioterrorism challenge for public health authorities. Therefore, a workshop of academic, government, and private sector personnel from around the world was convened to discuss the current state of melioidosis diagnostics, diagnostic needs, and future directions.

Unlike traditional collimator systems that primarily absorb photons in order to form an image, this system primarily scatters the photons. Over a single rotation, there is a unique, smooth response curve for each defined source position. Testing was conducted using MCNPX simulations. Image reconstruction was performed using a chi-squared reconstruction technique. A simulated 100 uCi, Cs-137 source at 10 meters was detected after a single, 50-second rotation when a uniform terrestrial background was present. A Cs-137 extended source was also tested. The RSM field-of-view is 360 degrees azimuthally as well as 54 degrees above and 54 degrees below the horizontal plane. Since the RSM is built from polyethylene, the overall cost and weight of the system is low. The system was designed to search for lost or stolen radioactive material, also known as the orphan source problem.

JO - GigaScience JF - GigaScience Y1 - 2015/03// VL - 4 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 8 SN - 2047217X AB - Background: The MinION™ nanopore sequencer was recently released to a community of alpha-testers for evaluation using a variety of sequencing applications. Recent reports have tested the ability of the MinION™ to act as a whole genome sequencer and have demonstrated that nanopore sequencing has tremendous potential utility. However, the current nanopore technology still has limitations with respect to error-rate, and this is problematic when attempting to assemble whole genomes without secondary rounds of sequencing to correct errors. In this study, we tested the ability of the MinION™ nanopore sequencer to accurately identify and differentiate bacterial and viral samples via directed sequencing of characteristic genes shared broadly across a target clade. Results: Using a 6 hour sequencing run time, sufficient data were generated to identify an E. coli sample down to the species level from 16S rDNA amplicons. Three poxviruses (cowpox, vaccinia-MVA, and vaccinia-Lister) were identified and differentiated down to the strain level, despite over 98% identity between the vaccinia strains. The ability to differentiate strains by amplicon sequencing on the MinION™ was accomplished despite an observed per-base error rate of approximately 30%. Conclusions: While nanopore sequencing, using the MinION™ platform from Oxford Nanopore in particular, continues to mature into a commercially available technology, practical uses are sought for the current versions of the technology. This study offers evidence of the utility of amplicon sequencing by demonstrating that the current versions of MinION™ technology can accurately identify and differentiate both viral and bacterial species present within biological samples via amplicon sequencing.

From 2012 to 2013 there was a 6% increase in suicide rates in the Army National Guard and an 18% increase in the Army Reserve. In 2011, the author worked with an Army National Guard chaplain and an Army veteran of the Iraq war to develop the Warrior Spirit/Mission Homefront (WS/MH) interactive dialogue program to facilitate talking about one’s military experiences—first with fellow service members or fellow veterans, then with friends and family. The first noticeable effect of the WS/MH activity was the participants’ transition from reticent to vibrant. During the introductory presentation, soldiers listened attentively, without apparent emotion. During the self-guided dialogue, however, the groups’ voluble emotions spanned the human spectrum. WS/MH dialogues and discussions model how a person can begin to describe deployment by first telling simple, even humorous stories, while building gradually toward sharing more difficult experiences—according to one’s own comfort threshold—in order to reconnect with family and community.

JO - Journal of Chemical Physics JF - Journal of Chemical Physics Y1 - 2015/03/28/ VL - 142 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 15 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00219606 AB - An upgrade of the previous self-consistent and environment-dependent linear combination of atomic orbitals Hamiltonian (referred as SCED-LCAO) has been developed. This improved version of the semi-empirical SCED-LCAO Hamiltonian, in addition to the inclusion of self-consistent determination of charge redistribution, multi-center interactions, and modeling of electron-electron correlation, has taken into account the effect excited on the orbitals due to the atomic aggregation. This important upgrade has been subjected to a stringent test, the construction of the SCED-LCAO Hamiltonian for boron. It was shown that the Hamiltonian for boron has successfully characterized the electron deficiency of boron and captured the complex chemical bonding in various boron allotropes, including the planar and quasi-planar, the convex, the ring, the icosahedral, and the fullerene-like clusters, the two-dimensional monolayer sheets, and the bulk alpha boron, demonstrating its transferability, robustness, reliability, and predictive power. The molecular dynamics simulation scheme based on the Hamiltonian has been applied to explore the existence and the energetics of ~230 compact boron clusters BN with N in the range from ~100 to 768, including the random, the rhombohedral, and the spherical icosahedral structures. It was found that, energetically, clusters containing whole icosahedral B12 units are more stable for boron clusters of larger size (N > 200). The ease with which the simulations both at 0 K and finite temperatures were completed is a demonstration of the efficiency of the SCED-LCAO Hamiltonian.

This review highlights some of DARPA's major advances in the field of BCI, particularly those made in recent years. Two broad categories of DARPA programs are presented with respect to the ultimate goals of supporting the nation's warfighters: (1) BCI efforts aimed at restoring neural and/or behavioral function, and (2) BCI efforts aimed at improving human training and performance. The programs discussed are synergistic and complementary to one another, and, moreover, promote interdisciplinary collaborations among researchers, engineers, and clinicians. Finally, this review includes a summary of some of the remaining challenges for the field of BCI, as well as the goals of new DARPA efforts in this domain.

Here, we present the use of polyacrylamide hydrogel films containing built-in chemical gradients (enthalpic gradients) to direct molecular transport. Using a cationic tertiary amine gradient, anionic molecules were directionally transported up to several millimeters. A 40-fold concentration of anionic molecules dosed in aerosol form on a substrate to a small region at the center of a radially symmetric cationic gradient was observed. The separation of mixtures of charged dye molecules was demonstrated using a boronic acid-to-cationic gradient where one molecule was attracted to the boronic acid end of the gradient, and the other to the cationic end of the gradient. Theoretical and computational analysis provides a quantitative description of such anisotropic molecular transport, and reveals that the gradient-imposed drift velocity is in the range of hundreds of nanometers per second, comparable to the transport velocities of biomolecular motors. This general concept of enthalpy gradient-directed molecular transport should enable the autonomous processing of a diversity of chemical species.

Capitalizing on this momentum, the United States launched the Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative to develop and apply new tools and technologies for revolutionizing our understanding of the brain. In this article, we review the scientific vision for this initiative set forth by the National Institutes of Health and discuss its implications for the future of neuroscience research. Particular emphasis is given to its potential impact on the mapping and study of neural circuits, and how this knowledge will transform our understanding of the complexity of the human brain and its diverse array of behaviours, perceptions, thoughts and emotions.

JO - Geomicrobiology Journal JF - Geomicrobiology Journal Y1 - 2015/06// VL - 32 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 494 EP - 510 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 01490451 AB - Fe oxidation is often the first chemical reaction that initiates weathering and disaggregation of intact bedrock into regolith. Here we explore the use of pyrosequencing tools to test for evidence that bacteria participate in these reactions in deep regolith. We analyze regolith developed on volcaniclastic rocks of the Fajardo formation in a ridgetop within the rainforest of the Luquillo Mountains of Puerto Rico. In the 9-m-deep regolith profile, the primary minerals chlorite, feldspar, and pyroxene are detected near 8.3 m but weather to kaolinite and Fe oxides found at shallower depths. Over the regolith profile, both total and heterotrophic bacterial cell counts generally increase from the bedrock to the surface. Like other soil microbial studies, the dominant phyla detected are Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, Planctomycetes, and Actinobacteria. Proteobacteria (α,β,γandδ) were the most abundant at depth (6.8–9 m, 41–44%), while Acidobacteria were the most abundant at the surface (1.4–4.4 m, 37–43%). Despite the fact that Acidobacteria dominated surficial communities while Proteobacteria dominated near bedrock, the near-surface and near-bedrock communities were not statistically different in structure but were statistically different from mid-depth communities. Approximately 21% of all sequences analyzed did not match known sequences: the highest fraction of unmatched sequences was greatest at mid-depth (45% at 4.4 m). At the regolith-bedrock interface where weathering begins, several lines of evidence are consistent with biotic Fe oxidation. At that interface, iron-related bacterial activity tests and culturing indicate the presence of iron-related bacteria, and phylogenetic analyses identified sub-phyla containing known iron-oxidizing microorganisms. Cell densities of iron-oxidizers in the deep saprolite were estimated to be on the order of 105cells g−1. Overall Fe loss was also observed at the regolith-bedrock interface, consistent with bacterial production of organic acids and leaching of Fe-organic complexes. Fe-organic species were also detected to be enriched near the bedrock-regolith interface. In this and other deep weathering profiles, chemolithoautotrophic bacteria that use Fe for energy and nitrate or oxygen as an electron acceptor may play an important role in initiating disaggregation of bedrock.

Many theories have been proposed for the cause of the Cambrian Explosion, one of the most provocative being the evolution of vision, allowing animals to dramatically increase their ability to hunt and find mates. Today, technological developments on several fronts are fomenting a similar explosion in the diversification and applicability of robotics. Many of the base hardware technologies on which robots depend--particularly computing, data storage, and communications--have been improving at exponential growth rates. Two newly blossoming technologies--"Cloud Robotics" and "Deep Learning"--could leverage these base technologies in a virtuous cycle of explosive growth. I examine some key technologies contributing to the present excitement in the robotics field. As with other technological developments, there has been a significant uptick in concerns about the societal implication of robotics and artificial intelligence. Thus, I offer some thoughts about how robotics may affect the economy and some ways to address potential difficulties.

JO - Synthetic Metals JF - Synthetic Metals Y1 - 2015/06// VL - 204 M3 - Article SP - 32 EP - 38 SN - 03796779 AB - A new photoelectron-accepting, n-dopable organic oligomer has been synthesized in a single step. It is a fluorescent tetramer formed from a substituted aminopyrazole, 3-amino-1H-pyrazole-4-carbonitrile, which has a low cost (about two USD per gram). Its chemical structure was verified using FTIR, mass spectrometry, and 1 H/ 13 C NMR. When used as an electron acceptor in an ITO-supported photocell containing a PEDOT-PSS hole transporting layer, the tetramer can support photocurrents of as high as 1.40 × 10 −4 A at 0 V bias, and 7.20 × 10 −3 A above baseline at 1.0 V bias. The cell, having a fabrication method that is not yet optimized, showed a photodiode responsivity of as high as 0.48 A/W, and a sensitivity of as high as 6.0 × 10 −4 Sm/W. Most importantly, it also demonstrated a detectivity of as high as 2.7 × 10 12 Jones, which is comparable to state-of-the-art inorganic photodiodes. The tetramer may represent a new, very inexpensive class of conducting organics useful in polymer-based photodiodes and solar cells.

JO - Interfaces JF - Interfaces Y1 - 2015/07//Jul/Aug2015 VL - 45 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 283 EP - 292 SN - 00922102 AB - The United States Air Force consists of two primary components: regular active and reserves. As a result of different deployment schedules and skill levels of personnel, these components differ in their associated costs and employee abilities. Although active-component service members are full-time employees, the majority of reserve members serve in the military on a part-time basis until activated by volunteering or mobilization. Before retiring from military service, active-component members often transition to the reserve component, resulting in a higher level of experience in these units. This enables the Air Force to retain experienced personnel at relatively lower costs and preserve its operational capability. Military analysts frequently assess policies regarding funding, resource allocation, and the balance between components using the Total Force Enterprise Analytic Framework. The five drivers of this framework are wartime demand and requirements, weapon system inventory, manpower inventory, employment policies, and cost. To simplify the evaluation and communication of component force mix options, we developed a graphical representation of the five-driver framework, which we called the grey space. This approach creates a visual representation of feasible options subject to the trade-off between cost and supply in terms of force structure size and component mix. Our depictions have enabled political constituents to better understand the feasible region. The United States Army and others analyzing the military have also adopted this approach. In this article, we discuss this graphical approach and its applications.

While medical advances have decreased the rate of “died of wounds” to less than 5%, significant treatment limitations in pre-hospital care remain. To address this persistent capability gap, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency launched the Wound Stasis System program in 2010. Under that program, Arsenal Medical, in collaboration with Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, developed a novel, self-expanding polyurethane foam that rapidly treats major abdominal bleeding due to trauma, for use at the point of care. This foam treatment is envisioned as an emergency “bridge to surgery” for warfighters who would otherwise die in the field. This commentary presents this emerging technology with the objective to bring to the community's attention a potentially promising device for the treatment of noncompressible abdominal hemorrhage.

Limited water availability particularly affects agriculture, as it accounts for over 70% of global freshwater withdrawals (Aquastat). This study outlines the fundamental nature of plant water consumption and suggests a >50% reduction in renewable freshwater demand is possible by engineering more reflective crops. Furthermore, the decreased radiative forcing resulting from the greater reflectivity of crops would be equivalent to removing 10-50 ppm CO2 from the atmosphere. Recent advances in engineering optical devices and a greater understanding of the mechanisms of biological reflectance suggest such a strategy may now be viable. Here we outline the challenges involved in such an effort and suggest three potential approaches that could enable its implementation. While the local benefits may be straightforward, determining the global externalities will require careful modelling efforts and gradually scaled field trials.

These novel low-dimensional icosahedral structures exhibit interesting bonding and electronic properties. Specifically, the three-center, two-electron bonding between icosahedra B12 of the boron bulk (rhombohedral boron) transforms into a two-center bonding in these new allotropes of boron sheets. In contrast to the previously reported stable buckled α and triangular boron monolayer sheets, these new allotropes of boron sheets form a planar network. Calculations of electronic density of states (DOS) reveal a semiconducting nature for both the icosahedral chain and the icosahedral δ6 and δ4 sheets, as well as a nearly gapless (or metallic-like) feature in the DOS for the icosahedral α sheet. The results for the energy barrier per atom between the icosahedral δ6 and α sheets (0.17 eV), the icosahedral δ6 and δ4 sheets (0.38 eV), and the icosahedral α and δ4 sheets (0.27 eV), as indicated in the respective parentheses, suggest that these new allotropes of boron sheets are relatively stable.

Despite the initial 2 : 1 ligand to metal ratio in water, copper(II) nitrate forms exclusively 4 : 1 ligand to metal complexes while copper(II) chloride forms a 4 : 1 ligand to metal complex only with pyrazole, with the methyl derivatives forming 2 : 1 ligand to metal complexes, as determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD). This is attributed to a combination of ligand sterics and stronger coordination of chloride relative to nitrate. Electronic absorption spectroscopy in both water and methanol reveals a surprisingly strong effect of the pyrazole methyl position on the CuIId–d transition, with 4-methylpyrazole producing a higher energy d–d transition relative to the other ligands studied. In addition, the number of methyl groups plays a determining role in the energy of the pz π→CuIIdxyLMCT band, lowering the transition energy as more methyl groups are added.

Design Pre-post, case series. Setting Outpatient spasticity clinic. Participants Individuals with chronic spasticity (N=4). Interventions Upper-limb Obtx-A injection. Main Outcome Measures Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to measure changes in cerebellar activation before and after upper-limb Obtx-A injection. During fMRI testing, participants performed the same motor task before and after injection, which was 15% and 30% of maximum voluntary isometric gripping measured before Obtx-A injection. Results After Obtx-A injection, cerebellar activation increased bilaterally during gripping with the paretic hand and during rest. During both pre- and postinjection scans, the paretic hand showed larger cerebellar activation during gripping compared with the nonparetic hand. Cerebellar activation during gripping with the nonparetic hand did not change significantly after Obtx-A injection.

T1 - Automated source term and wind parameter estimation for atmospheric transport and dispersion applications. JO - Atmospheric Environment JF - Atmospheric Environment Y1 - 2015/11/30/ VL - 122 M3 - Article SP - 206 EP - 219 SN - 13522310 AB - Accurate simulations of the atmospheric transport and dispersion (AT&D) of hazardous airborne materials rely heavily on the source term parameters necessary to characterize the initial release and meteorological conditions that drive the downwind dispersion. In many cases the source parameters are not known and consequently based on rudimentary assumptions. This is particularly true of accidental releases and the intentional releases associated with terrorist incidents. When available, meteorological observations are often not representative of the conditions at the location of the release and the use of these non-representative meteorological conditions can result in significant errors in the hazard assessments downwind of the sensors, even when the other source parameters are accurately characterized. Here, we describe a computationally efficient methodology to characterize both the release source parameters and the low-level winds (eg. winds near the surface) required to produce a refined downwind hazard. This methodology, known as the Variational Iterative Refinement Source Term Estimation (STE) Algorithm (VIRSA), consists of a combination of modeling systems. These systems include a back-trajectory based source inversion method, a forward Gaussian puff dispersion model, a variational refinement algorithm that uses both a simple forward AT&D model that is a surrogate for the more complex Gaussian puff model and a formal adjoint of this surrogate model. The back-trajectory based method is used to calculate a “first guess” source estimate based on the available observations of the airborne contaminant plume and atmospheric conditions. The variational refinement algorithm is then used to iteratively refine the first guess STE parameters and meteorological variables. The algorithm has been evaluated across a wide range of scenarios of varying complexity. It has been shown to improve the source parameters for location by several hundred percent (normalized by the distance from source to the closest sampler), and improve mass estimates by several orders of magnitude. Furthermore, it also has the ability to operate in scenarios with inconsistencies between the wind and airborne contaminant sensor observations and adjust the wind to provide a better match between the hazard prediction and the observations.

In order to examine internal negative feedback effects, basic common-emitter NPN current mirrors, with and without emitter degeneration resistors, are utilized. A Wilson current mirror and a Wilson mirror with its intrinsic external feedback removed are used to study external negative feedback effects under the influence of laser-induced single events. The measurement data clearly show notable improvements in SET response that can be made by employing both internal and external negative feedback. The peak transient in the output current is reduced, and the settling time upon a laser strike is shortened significantly by negative feedback. All four investigated current mirrors were fabricated with IBM 8HP 130 nm SiGe BiCMOS technology.

Both nFETs and pFETs in this technology exhibit similar sensitive area to laser-induced SEE and are strongly dependent on the drain bias condition. TCAD simulations were conducted in order to confirm results and utilize a 3-D mixed-mode simulation approach to more accurately model testing conditions. The differential pair (diff. pair) circuit SEE response extends the discussion to include the use of these devices in a core analog/RF circuit block. The analysis includes the use of floating body (FB) and body-connected (BC) devices. Body-connected FETs tend to exhibit a transient response that is much shorter in duration when compared directly to its floating body counterpart.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science JF - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science Y1 - 2015/12//Dec2015 Part 1 VL - 62 IS - 6a M3 - Article SP - 2657 EP - 2665 SN - 00189499 AB - This paper investigates single-event effects in a W-Band (75-110 GHz) SiGe HBT down-conversion mixer intended for use in a space-based remote sensing radar system. Transient pulse propagation to the output of the mixer as a linear time variant system is analyzed theoretically. This study facilitates the understanding of transient propagation in RF receivers. Device- and circuit-level simulations were conducted to verify the results of the proposed theory. A two photon absorption laser was used to induce transients on different SiGe HBTs within the circuit to assess the impact of SETs on performance. This study shows that significant transients can be produced at the output of the mixer, which can potentially corrupt the received data or received pulse of the radar. It is shown that a differential double-balanced structure can effectively eliminate some of the transients at the output of the mixer. To the authors’ best knowledge this is the first study of single event transients conducted on a millimeter-wave SiGe circuit.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science JF - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science Y1 - 2015/12//Dec2015 Part 1 VL - 62 IS - 6a M3 - Article SP - 3057 EP - 3063 SN - 00189499 AB - Single-event transient (SET)-hardened SiGe HBT RF single-pole single-throw (SPST) switches were designed and fabricated for the first time. TCAD-based heavy-ion simulations and two-photon absorption (TPA) laser-induced beam experiments were used to optimize the switch core configuration for SET mitigation. Among different configurations, the reverse-connected series and shunt device core, where both emitter terminals are connected to the output, exhibits the smallest transient peaks and shortest durations at the output terminal of the switch. Based on this finding, the design considerations for maximizing the RF performance of SiGe HBT SPST RF switches are discussed. In addition, a comparison of the SET response and RF performance of CMOS (nFET) SPST and SiGe HBT SPST switches provides additional information on the trade-offs in the SET mitigation strategy and potential RF capabilities.

If per-pass utilizations are held constant, higher battery power densities can only be achieved using higher flow rates. Here, a 3D computational fluid dynamics model of a flow battery flow field and electrode is used to analyze the implications of increasing flow rates to high power density operating conditions. Interdigitated and serpentine designs, and cell sizes ranging from 10 cm 2 to 400 cm 2 , are simulated. The results quantify the dependence of pressure loss on cell size and design, demonstrating that the details of the passages that distribute flow between individual channels and the inlet and outlet have a major impact on pressure losses in larger cells. Additionally, in-cell flow behavior is analyzed as a function of cell size and design. Flow structures are interrogated to show how and where electrode parameters influence pressure drops, and how regions where transport is slow are correlated with the presence of experimentally observed cell degradation.

Such items account for the majority of hardware stocked at the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). The forecasting of demand for these items—no matter how sophisticated the forecasting method—had resulted in years of problems for DLA: excess inventory for some items, backorders for others, and excessive buyer workload. The implementation of PNG, a software package that consists of two inventory solutions, Peak Policy and Next Gen, allowed DLA to shift from trying to forecast each item individually to using a portfolio or risk-management approach to inventory control. Since DLA implemented PNG in January 2013, the agency has achieved its inventory-related goals for better customer service and reduced buyer workload, has experienced no inventory increase, and has saved nearly $400 million per year.

Developmental pharmaceutical manufacturing systems and techniques designed to overcome the shortcomings of traditional batch processing methods are described. Summary. Conventional pharmaceutical manufacturing processes do not adequately address the needs of military and civilian patient populations and healthcare providers. Recent advances within the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Battlefield Medicine program suggest that miniaturized, flexible platforms for end-to-end manufacturing of pharmaceuticals are possible. Advances in continuous-low synthesis, chemistry, biological engineering, and downstream processing, coupled with online analytics, automation, and enhanced process control measures, pave the way for disruptive innovation to improve the pharmaceutical supply chain and drug manufacturing base. These new technologies, along with current and ongoing advances in regulatory science, have the future potential to (1) permit "on demand" drug manufacturing on the battlefield and in other austere environments, (2) enhance the level of preparedness for chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threats, (3) enhance health authorities' ability to respond to natural disasters and other catastrophic events, (4) minimize shortages of drugs, (5) address gaps in the orphan drug market, (6) support and enable the continued drive toward precision medicine, and (7) enhance access to needed medications in underserved areas across the globe. Conclusion. Modular platforms under development by DARPA's Battlefield Medicine program may one day improve the safety, efficiency, and timeliness of drug manufacturing.

Pulsed-laser, two-photon absorption experiments show that the SET sensitivity of the SiGe LNA is highly dependent on operating conditions and strike location. Time and frequency-domain analyses raise potential concerns for digital data modulated on RF carrier signals. Device and circuit-level ion-strike TCAD simulations are utilized to compare alternative simulation approaches, highlight the importance of parasitics on SET simulation accuracy, and suggest best practices for modeling radiation-induced transients within RF/mm-wave circuits.

Central to the problem is understanding the incentives of the stay-or-leave decision for military personnel. Using three years of data from the US Department of Defense, we construct and estimate a Markov chain model of military personnel. Unlike traditional classification approaches, such as logistic regression models, the Markov chain model allows us to describe military personnel dynamics over time and answer a number of managerially relevant questions. Building on the Markov chain model, we construct a finite-horizon stochastic dynamic programming model to study the monetary incentives of stay-or-leave decisions. The dynamic programming model computes the expected pay-off of staying versus leaving at different stages of the career of military personnel, depending on employment opportunities in the civilian sector. We show that the stay-or-leave decisions from the dynamic programming model possess surprisingly strong predictive power, without requiring personal characteristics that are typically employed in classification approaches. Furthermore, the results of the dynamic programming model can be used as an input in classification methods and lead to more accurate predictions. Overall, our work presents an interesting alternative to classification methods and paves the way for further investigations on personnel retention incentives.

Design/methodology/approach – A series of carefully conducted physical and numerical experiments was conducted. The results were analyzed and compared. Findings – The analysis shows that for fragmenting charges in closed environments, dust plays a far larger role than previously thought, leading to much lower pressures and damage. Research limitations/implications – In light of these findings, many assumptions and results for fragmenting charges in closed environments need to be reconsidered. Practical implications – This implies that for a far larger class of problems than previously estimated it is imperative to take into consideration dust production and its effect on the resulting pressures. Originality/value – This is the first time such a finding has been reported in this context.

The IM SiGe HBTs replace conventional forward-mode (FM) SiGe HBTs in the differential pair, which provides full current steering for frequency mixing operation. Under steady-state conditions, the IM SiGe HBT differential pair exhibits smaller transient peaks with shorter durations compared to the FM SiGe HBTs. In addition, under the injection of a local oscillator (LO) signal with large swing, the IM SiGe HBTs show faster recovery (50% reduction in the best case) from the impact of SETs. In the frequency domain, it is observed that IM SiGe HBTs produce less distortion at the output for an intermediate frequency below 1 GHz. Based on the performance comparison between FM and IM SiGe HBT down-conversion mixers, system design guidelines to compensate the noise figure degradation associated with using IM SiGe HBTs are discussed.

JO - PLoS ONE JF - PLoS ONE Y1 - 2016/04/25/ VL - 11 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 12 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 19326203 AB - Integrated Discrete Multiple Organ Co-culture (IDMOC) is emerging as an in-vitro alternative to in-vivo animal models for pharmacology studies. IDMOC allows dose-response relationships to be investigated at the tissue and organoid levels, yet, these relationships often exhibit responses that are far more complex than the binary responses often measured in whole animals. To accommodate departure from binary endpoints, IDMOC requires an expansion of analytic techniques beyond simple linear probit and logistic models familiar in toxicology. IDMOC dose-responses may be measured at continuous scales, exhibit significant non-linearity such as local maxima or minima, and may include non-independent measures. Generalized additive mixed-modeling (GAMM) provides an alternative description of dose-response that relaxes assumptions of independence and linearity. We compared GAMMs to traditional linear models for describing dose-response in IDMOC pharmacology studies.

Cefquinome is a fourth generation cephalosporin, which preserves susceptibility and antibacterial activity against S. aureus. This work aims to study the pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) modeling following intramammary administration of cefquinome against S. aureus mastitis. The mouse model of S. aureus mastitis was developed for the PK/PD experiments. The plasma PK characteristics after intramammary injection of cefquinome at various single doses of 25, 50, 100, 200, 400 μg per gland (both fourth pairs of glands: L4 and R4) were calculated using one-compartment and first-order absorption model. PD study was investigated based on twenty-one intermittent dosing regimens, of which total daily dose ranged from 25 to 4800 μg per mouse and dosage intervals included 8, 12 or 24 h. The sigmoid Emax model of inhibitory effect was employed for PK/PD modeling. The results of PK/PD integration of cefquinome against S. aureus suggested that the percentage of duration that drug concentration exceeded the minimal inhibitory concentration (%T>MIC) and the ratio of area under time-concentration curve over MIC (AUC/MIC) are important indexes to evaluate the antibacterial activity. The PK/PD parameters of %T>MIC and AUC0-24/MIC were 35.98% and 137.43 h to obtain a 1.8 logCFU/gland reduction of bacterial colony counts in vivo, against S. aureus strains with cefquinome MIC of 0.5μg/ml.

AB - The present study examined the antecedents of trust among operational Air Force fighter pilots for an automatic ground collision avoidance technology. This technology offered a platform with high face validity for studying trust in automation because it is an automatic system currently being used in operations by the Air Force. Pilots (N = 142) responded to an online survey which asked about their attitudes toward the technology and assessed a number of psychological factors. Consistent with prior research on trust in automation, a number of trust antecedents were identified which corresponded to human factors, learned trust factors, and situational factors. Implications for the introduction of novel automatic systems into the military are discussed.

AB - Although research indicates that organizational characteristics substantially influence the adoption and use of evidence-based practices (EBPs), there has been little empirical research on organizational factors most likely to influence successful implementation of EBPs, particularly in criminal justice settings. This study examined organizational characteristics related to the success of change teams in achieving improvements in assessment and case-planning procedures for persons leaving correctional settings and receiving community services. In this evaluation of the Organizational Process Improvement Intervention (OPII), part of the National Institute on Drug Abuse’s (NIDA’s) Criminal Justice Drug Abuse Treatment Studies (CJDATS) cooperative, 21 sites were randomized to an early-start or a delayed-start condition. For this analysis, data from both conditions were combined. Agencies with fewer program needs, good communication, adequate staffing levels, good supervision, positive attitude toward rehabilitation, and higher institutional capacity for change were better able to implement planned changes in assessment and case-planning procedures. Such agencies may be better candidates for implementation improvement strategies, whereas other agencies could benefit from pre-intervention efforts aimed at strengthening these characteristics before attempting to improve assessment procedures.

JO - Journal of Energy Resources Technology JF - Journal of Energy Resources Technology Y1 - 2016/09// VL - 138 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 7 SN - 01950738 AB - The use of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) in internal combustion engines has significant impacts on engine combustion and emissions. EGR can be used to reduce in-cylinder NOx production, reduce fuel consumption, and enable advanced forms of combustion. To maximize the benefits of EGR, the exhaust gases are often cooled with liquid to gas heat exchangers. However, the build up of a fouling deposit layer from exhaust particulates and volatiles results in the decrease of heat exchanger efficiency, increasing the outlet temperature of the exhaust gases and decreasing the advantages of EGR. This paper presents an experimental data from a novel in situ measurement technique in a visualization rig during the development of a 378 pm thick deposit layer. Measurements were performed every 6 hrs for up to 24 hrs. The results show a nonlinear increase in deposit thickness with an increase in layer surface area as deposition continued. Deposit surface temperature and temperature difference across the thickness of the layer was shown to increase with deposit thickness while heat transfer decreased. The provided measurements combine to produce deposit thermal conductivity. A thorough uncertainty analysis of the in situ technique is presented and suggests higher measurement accuracy at thicker deposit layers and with larger temperature differences across the layer. The inteiface and wall temperature measurements are identified as the strongest contributors to the measurement uncertainty. Due to instrument uncertainty, the influence of deposit thickness and temperature could not be determined. At an average deposit thickness o f378 pm and at a temperature of 100°C, the deposit thermal conductivity was determined to be 0.044 ± 0.0062 Wlm K at a 90% confidence interval based on instrument accuracy.

GRITS analyzes these textual data sources by identifying, extracting, and succinctly visualizing epidemiologic information and suggests potentially associated infectious diseases. This manuscript evaluates and verifies the diagnoses that GRITS performs and discusses novel aspects of the software package. Via GRITS’ web interface, infectious disease analysts can examine dynamic visualizations of GRITS’ analyses and explore historical infectious disease emergence events. The GRITS API can be used to continuously analyze information feeds, and the API enables GRITS technology to be easily incorporated into other biosurveillance systems. GRITS is a flexible tool that can be modified to conduct sophisticated medical report triaging, expanded to include customized alert systems, and tailored to address other biosurveillance needs.

Meeting this challenge of providing abundant, clean energy undoubtedly requires synergistic efforts between basic and applied researchers in the chemical sciences to develop and deploy new technologies. Among the available options, solar energy is one of the promising targets because of the high abundance of solar photons over much of the globe. Similarly, decarbonization of the global energy supply will require clean sources of hydrogen to use as reducing equivalents for fuel and chemical feedstocks. In this report, we discuss the importance of translational research--defined as work that explicitly targets basic discovery as well as technology development--in the context of photovoltaics and solar fuels. We focus on three representative research programs encompassing translational research in government, industry, and academia. We then discuss more broadly the benefits and challenges of translational research models and offer recommendations for research programs that address societal challenges in the energy sector and beyond.

The lightly doped n drift region of these devices is observed to be highly compensated by several prominent deep levels detected using deep level optical spectroscopy at Ec-2.13, 2.92, and 3.2 eV. A combination of steady-state photocapacitance and lighted capacitance-voltage profiling indicates the concentrations of these deep levels to be Nt=3 x 1012, 2 x 1015and 5-1014cm-3, respectively. The Ec-2.92 eV level is observed to be the primary compensating defect in as-grown n-type metal-organic chemical vapor deposition GaN, indicating this level acts as a limiting factor for achieving controllably low doping. The device blocking voltage should increase if compensating defects reduce the free carrier concentration of the n drift region. Understanding the incorporation of as-grown and native defects in thick n-GaN is essential for enabling large VBD in the nextgeneration wide-bandgap power semiconductor devices. Thus, controlling the as-grown defects induced by epitaxial growth conditions is critical to achieve blocking voltage capability above 5 kV.

T1 - Towards an advanced reactor network modeling framework for fluidized bed biomass gasification: Incorporating information from detailed CFD simulations. JO - Chemical Engineering Journal JF - Chemical Engineering Journal Y1 - 2016/11// VL - 303 M3 - Article SP - 409 EP - 424 SN - 13858947 AB - Fluidized bed biomass gasification (FBBG) is a promising technology to enable the thermochemical conversion of biomass to drop-in fuels. Fluidized bed reactors are utilized for solid to gas conversion processes due to their ability to provide a high degree of gas–solid contact, fast solid–solid mixing and fast gas mixing within the bed-zone due to solids-induced flow. In many reactor models of fluidized bed gasifiers this has lead researchers to assume that the bed zone can be modeled as a continuously-stirred tank reactor (CSTR). In this work the limitations of this model are analyzed with reactive CFD simulations and an improved reactor network model (RNM) framework based on two-phase theory (TPT) is proposed which is capable of capturing the influence of mixing in the bed-zone on the thermochemical conversion. This new RNM framework employs reactive CFD modelling to supply hydrodynamic information to the RNM. It is shown that this improved RNM framework is able to better capture the formation of large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) compounds implying that their formation is strongly dependent on the availability of rich zones in the emulsion phase.

It exhibits infinite attenuation at the center frequency and no reflection regardless of the quality factor ( $Q$ -factor) of the resonators. The new topology exhibits the absorptive characteristic with extremely low- $Q$ resonators, whereas an absorptive bandstop filter topology in the literature cannot be used for such resonators. This superiority of the new filter topology is verified by comparing it with the topology in the literature. The filter designed using the new topology can change its center frequency by tuning only the capacitor values of the resonators. A 1.6:1 frequency tuning range maintaining the absorptive characteristic has been obtained by measurement.

Experimental activities include x-ray source development, design of the sample mounting hardware and sensors interfaced to the National Ignition Facility's diagnostics insertion system, and system integration into the facility. This paper focuses on the X-ray Transport and Radiation Response Assessment (XTRRA) test cassettes built for these experiments. The test cassette is designed to position six samples at three predetermined distances from the source, each known to within ±1% accuracy. Built-in calorimeters give in situ measurements of the xray environment along the sample lines of sight. The measured accuracy of sample responses as well as planned modifications to the XTRRA cassette is discussed.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science JF - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science Y1 - 2017/01// VL - 64 IS - 1, part 1 M3 - Article SP - 89 EP - 96 SN - 00189499 AB - The single-event transient (SET) response of the pre-amplification stage of two latched comparators designed using either npn or pnp silicon-germanium heterojunction bipolar transistors (SiGe HBTs) is investigated via two-photon absorption (TPA) carrier injection and mixed-mode TCAD simulations. Experimental data and TCAD simulations showed an improved SET response for the pnp comparator circuit. 2-D raster scans revealed that the devices in the pnp circuit exhibit a reduction in sensitive area of up to 80% compared to their npn counterparts. In addition, by sweeping the input voltage, the sensitive operating region with respect to SETs was determined. By establishing a figure-of-merit, relating the transient peaks and input voltage polarities, the pnp device was determined to have a 21.4% improved response with respect to input voltage. This study has shown that using pnp devices is an effective way to mitigate SETs, and could enable further radiation-hardening-by-design techniques.

The two LNAs were designed and implemented in 130nm SiGe HBT BiCMOS process technology. Two-photon absorption (TPA) laser pulses were utilized to induce transients within various devices in these LNAs. Impulse response theory is identified as a useful tool for predicting the settling behavior of the LNAs subjected to heavy ion strikes. Comprehensive device and circuit level modeling and simulations were performed to accurately simulate the behavior of the circuits under ion strikes. The simulations agree well with TPA measurements. The simulation, modeling and analysis presented in this paper can be applied for any other circuit topologies for SET modeling and prediction.

T1 - The Use of Inverse-Mode SiGe HBTs as Active Gain Stages in Low-Noise Amplifiers for the Mitigation of Single-Event Transients. JO - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science JF - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science Y1 - 2017/01// VL - 64 IS - 1, part 1 M3 - Article SP - 359 EP - 366 SN - 00189499 AB - A cascode configuration with inverse-mode (IM) common-emitter silicon-germanium (SiGe) heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) is proposed for the mitigation of single-event transients (SETs) in low-noise amplifiers (LNAs). Conventionally, despite their SET-mitigation capability, IM SiGe HBTs have been considered to be unsuitable for active gain stages due to severe degradation in RF performance. However, with the benefits of aggressive technology scaling, the high frequency performance of IM SiGe HBTs has been significantly improved, thereby enabling them to be utilized in active gain stages with acceptable RF performance. The cascode with IM common-emitter and common-base SiGe HBTs is used for a 2.4 GHz prototype LNA and it achieves adequate RF gain (10 dB) and noise figure (1.9 dB). With regard to SET mitigation, a through-wafer two-photon absorption pulsed-laser experiment is conducted to test the efficacy of this radiation-hardening approach in an advanced 90 nm SiGe BiCMOS platform. The proposed IM-SiGe-HBT-based LNA exhibits 85% reduction in transient peaks compared to the conventional forward-mode cascode LNA.

T1 - The Impact of Technology Scaling on the Single-Event Transient Response of SiGe HBTs. JO - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science JF - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science Y1 - 2017/01// VL - 64 IS - 1, part 1 M3 - Article SP - 406 EP - 414 SN - 00189499 AB - The impact of semiconductor process scaling on the overall transient response of SiGe BiCMOS platforms is investigated. Pulsed-laser two-photon absorption (TPA) and heavy-ion broad-beam testing of SiGe HBT device and digital test structures across several generations of SiGe technologies are utilized to investigate the potential impacts of semiconductor process scaling (e.g., lateral/vertical scaling, changes in doping, Ge content, etc.) on the overall transient shape, magnitude, and duration. Technology scaling is shown to increase the single-event effect (SEE) sensitivity of SiGe HBTs (i.e., elevated collected charge, where 1st Gen. QC <3 rd Gen. QC <4 th Gen. QC ). Modern third-generation and fourth-generation devices under a forward-active bias (i.e., forward-biased EB junction, reverse-biased CB junction) exhibit a large diffusive transient component between the emitter and collector terminals, driving an elevation in collected charge. 3-D TCAD modeling is utilized to understand the fundamental transient mechanisms and assess the primary scaling factors affecting SEE sensitivity. Ion-strike simulations show that bulk traps can substantially enhance the charge collection mechanisms within these devices. These results suggest that SiGe technology scaling may have a strong impact on the radiation-induced transient response of SiGe HBTs, with future SiGe technology generations potentially exhibiting increased sensitivities to single-event effects.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science JF - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science Y1 - 2017/01// VL - 64 IS - 1, part 1 M3 - Article SP - 536 EP - 543 SN - 00189499 AB - The single-event transient (SET) response of a W-band (75–110 GHz) radar receiver front-end is investigated in this paper. A new technique to facilitate the SET testing of the high frequency transceivers is proposed and demonstrated experimentally. The entire radar receiver front-end, including the high frequency signal sources and modulators, were designed and fully integrated in 90 nm 300 GHz SiGe process technology (Global Foundries SiGe 9HP). Two-photon absorption (TPA) laser pulses were utilized to induce transient currents in different devices in various circuit blocks. The study shows how short transient pulses from the high frequency tuned circuits are propagated throughout the receiver and are broadened while passing through low-pass filters present at supply nodes and the low-pass filter following the down-conversion mixer, thus affecting the digital data at the output of the receiver. The proposed methodology allows the study of the effect of SETs on the recovered digital data at the output of the high frequency receivers, thus allowing bit error rate calculations. Comprehensive device and circuit level simulations were also performed, and a close agreement between the measurement results and simulation data was demonstrated. To the authors’ best knowledge, this is the first study of SET on full receiver at millimeter-wave (mmW) frequencies.

The Defense Threat Reduction Agency’s Technical Reachback provided near real-time analysis and recommendations as outbreak-relevant events unfolded. Our review of often-conflicting or incomplete information was required to answer policy decision makers about the expanding Ebola epidemic, and enable the formulation of best-possible U.S. Department of Defense and Government response. Challenging questions often did not have obvious information available from which to provide a definitive answer. Nevertheless, through use of best-practice science and medicine, we provided timely and scientifically accurate weekly review for decision makers. Our comprehensive analyses included the nature of the outbreak, its global and national impact, contributing factors to this and future Ebola outbreaks, the U.S. Government and international response, and continuing interventions. We also provided guidance for Ebola transmission outside of West Africa, medical countermeasures, challenges with the international response, lessons learned, major constraints, and considerations for future preparedness. We believe an assessment of these events may help an improved response for future infectious disease outbreaks with global and national security implications.

Using a Schmitt trigger inverter target chain fabricated in a 65-nm bulk CMOS process, SET pulse widths are captured from an operating voltage down to 0.32 V. At nominal voltages, the Schmitt trigger inverter chain is immune to SETs, but at subthreshold voltages energetic particles can induce SET pulse widths that range up to and over a microsecond. Additionally, the results show that at subthreshold voltages the 28-nm node offers a significant improvement in the SET response over the 65-nm node.

JO - Journal of Immunology JF - Journal of Immunology Y1 - 2017/01/15/ VL - 198 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 788 EP - 797 SN - 00221767 AB - Intestinal ischemia followed by reperfusion leads to local and remote organ injury attributed to inflammatory response during the reperfusion phase. The extent to which ischemia contributes to ischemia/reperfusion injury has not been thoroughly studied. After careful evaluation of intestinal tissue following 30 min of ischemia, we noticed significant local mucosal injury in wild-type mice. This injury was drastically reduced in C3-deficient mice, suggesting C3 involvement. Depletion of circulating complement with cobra venom factor eliminated, as expected, injury recorded at the end of the reperfusion phase but failed to eliminate injury that occurred during the ischemic phase. Immunohistochemical studies showed that tissue damage during ischemia was associated with increased expression of C3/C3 fragments primarily in the intestinal epithelial cells, suggesting local involvement of complement. In vitro studies using Caco2 intestinal epithelial cells showed that in the presence of LPS or exposure to hypoxic conditions the cells produce higher C3 mRNA as well as C3a fragment. Caco2 cells were also noted to produce cathepsins B and L, and inhibition of cathepsins suppressed the release of C3a. Finally, we found that mice treated with a cathepsin inhibitor and cathepsin B-deficient mice suffer limited intestinal injury during the ischemic phase. To our knowledge, our findings demonstrate for the first time that significant intestinal injury occurs during ischemia prior to reperfusion and that this is due to activation of C3 within the intestinal epithelial cells in a cathepsin-dependent manner. Modulation of cathepsin activity may prevent injury of organs exposed to ischemia.

These injuries are associated with approximately 25 million lost duty days each year. The need to curb costs and improve efficacy and efficiency of health care delivery is pressing. This requires the consideration of new paradigms for clinical pathways and health care delivery processes. Soldiers returning from a deployment go through a screening process to ensure any medical, dental, and administrative issues are adequately addressed. This is a great opportunity to influence optimal musculoskeletal (MSK) care, as nonbattle MSI are the most common injury sustained during a combat deployment. These screening processes usually consist of high throughput in short periods, taxing the usual flow of care through the associated medical clinic. Because the highest percentage of medical visits are related to MSK complaints, a dedicated clinic with specialty providers seeing these patients directly may improve the quality and efficiency of care.Methods: This report provides the details related to the implementation of a MSK specialty clinic such as this at Madigan Army Medical Center, for the return of a U.S. Army Reservist Brigade Combat Team of approximately 4,000 Soldiers. It provides a framework for determining patient flow and triaging of patients to expedited appropriate care directly from the screening site. We report on the demographics and types of injuries seen after deployment, and the patient satisfaction associated with those that were seen in this specialty clinic.Findings: Comparison to usual care were outside the scope of this report, however the patient satisfaction with the process was recorded, and was very high for all 284 patients that received care through this expedited care pathway.Discussion: This article provides a framework for an expedited clinical care pathway for patients returning from deployment that have MSI. It provides a platform for future feasibility testing and prospective studies related to the economic impact of this model when compared to usual care.
