AB Background: Fort Bragg, a large Army installation with reported high Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct) infection rates, is characterized by a highly mobile population and a surrounding Ct-endemic community. We assessed the rates of Ct incidence and recurrence among the installation's active component Army personnel and determined the association of soldier transience, sociodemographic factors, and history of sexually transmitted infection (STI) with these rates.
   Methods: A cohort of soldiers stationed at Fort Bragg during 2005 to mid-2010 was followed for incident and recurrent Ct infection using laboratory-confirmed reportable disease data. Linkage to demographic and administrative data permitted multivariate analysis to determine association of covariates with initial or recurrent infection.
   Results: Among 67,425 soldiers, 2,198 (3.3%) contracted an incident Ct infection (crude incidence, 21.7 per 1,000 person-years). Among soldiers followed for incident infection, 223 (10.6%, crude incidence 110.8 per 1,000 person-years) contracted a recurrent Ct infection. Being female, of lower rank, under 26 years of age, of non-white race, single, or with a high school diploma or less was significantly associated with incident Ct infection. Having breaks in duty or having deployments during follow-up was associated with a lower infection rate. Among women, having prior deployments was associated with a lower rate of both incident and recurrent infection. Specifically associated with recurrent infection in women was age under 21 years or no education beyond high school.
   Conclusions: This analysis reaffirms risk factors for Ct infection determined in other studies. In addition, infection risk was lower for more mobile soldiers and tied to the specific location of their regular duty assignment. The findings support the STI prevention efforts at Fort Bragg and the surrounding community, regardless of how often or for how long soldiers have deployed for military operations.

TI DNA Aptamers against Exon v10 of CD44 Inhibit Breast Cancer Cell

AB CD44 adhesion molecules are expressed in many breast cancer cells and have been demonstrated to play a key role in regulating malignant phenotypes such as growth, migration, and invasion. CD44 is an integral transmembrane protein encoded by a single 20-exon gene. The diversity of the biological functions of CD44 is the result of the various splicing variants of these exons. Previous studies suggest that exon v10 of CD44 plays a key role in promoting cancer invasion and metastasis, however, the molecular mechanisms are not clear. Given the fact that exon v10 is in the ectodomain of CD44, we hypothesized that CD44 forms a molecular complex with other cell surface molecules through exon v10 in order to promote migration of breast cancer cells. In order to test this hypothesis, we selected DNA aptamers that specifically bound to CD44 exon v10 using Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment (SELEX). We selected aptamers that inhibited migration of breast cancer cells. Co-immunoprecipitation studies demonstrated that EphA2 was co-precipitated with CD44. Pull-down studies demonstrated that recombinant CD44 exon v10 bound to EphA2 and more importantly aptamers that inhibited migration also prevented the binding of EphA2 to exon v10. These results suggest that CD44 forms a molecular complex with EphA2 on the breast cancer cell surface and this complex plays a key role in enhancing breast cancer migration. These results provide insight not only for characterizing mechanisms of breast cancer migration but also for developing target-specific therapy for breast cancers and possibly other cancer types expressing CD44 exon v10.

AB We study the formation of second-harmonic double-resonance cones in hyperbolic metamaterials. An electric dipole on the surface of the structure induces second-harmonic light to propagate into two distinct volume plasmon-polariton channels: a signal that propagates within its own peculiar resonance cone and a phase-locked signal that is trapped under the pump's resonance cone. Metamaterial dispersion and birefringence induce a large angular divergence between the two volume plasmon polaritons, making these structures suitable for subwavelength second- and higher-harmonic imaging microscopy.

AB The aim of this study was to explore the utility of "omics" approaches in monitoring aquatic environments where complex, often unknown stressors make chemical-specific risk assessment untenable. We examined changes in the fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) ovarian transcriptome following 4-day exposures conducted at three sites in Minnesota (MN, USA). Within each site, fish were exposed to water from three locations along a spatial gradient relative to a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) discharge. After exposure, site-specific impacts on gene expression in ovaries were assessed. Using an intragradient point of comparison, biological responses specifically associated with the WWTP effluent were identified using functional enrichment analyses. Fish exposed to water from locations downstream of the effluent discharges exhibited many transcriptomic responses in common with those exposed to the effluent, indicating that effects of the discharge do not fully dissipate downstream. Functional analyses showed a range of biological pathways impacted through effluent exposure at all three sites. Several of those impacted pathways at each site could be linked to potential adverse reproductive outcomes associated with the hypothalamic pituitary gonadal (HPG) axis in female fathead minnows, specifically signaling pathways associated with oocyte meiosis, TGF-beta signaling, gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and epidermal growth factor receptor family (ErbB), and gene sets associated with cyclin B-1 and metalloproteinase. The utility of this approach comes from the ability to identify biological responses to pollutant exposure, particularly those that can be tied to adverse outcomes at the population level and those that identify molecular targets for future studies.

AB We consider the creation of the maximum Raman coherence in the six-level system using optimal control theory. Optimal fields are designed for different initial conditions, resonant, and off-resonant, using the Krotov method including a reference field into the cost functional. Suppression of the population transfer to the intermediate level is achieved via an additional functional constraint which depends on the system dynamics. We demonstrate that the spectrum of the optimised fields has major contribution from the corresponding resonant frequencies independently of the choice of carrier frequency of the initial guess field. We also indicate that the pulse train emerges as a solution of the control problem of coherence optimisation in multi-level quantum systems.

AB Chronic inflammation is rapidly becoming recognized as a key contributor to numerous pathologies. Despite detailed investigations, understanding of the molecular mechanisms regulating inflammation is incomplete. Knowledge of such critical regulatory processes and informative indicators of chronic inflammation is necessary for efficacious therapeutic interventions and diagnostic support to clinicians. We used a computational modeling approach to elucidate the critical factors responsible for chronic inflammation and to identify robust molecular indicators of chronic inflammatory conditions. Our kinetic model successfully captured experimentally observed cell and cytokine dynamics for both acute and chronic inflammatory responses. Using sensitivity analysis, we identified macrophage influx and efflux rate modulation as the strongest inducing factor of chronic inflammation for a wide range of scenarios. Moreover, our model predicted that, among all major inflammatory mediators, IL-6, TGF-beta, and PDGF may generally be considered the most sensitive and robust indicators of chronic inflammation, which is supported by existing, but limited, experimental evidence.

AB Long period stacking order (LPSO) structures, such as 6H, 10H, 14H, 18R and 24R, play significant roles in enhancing the mechanical properties of Mg alloys and have been largely investigated separately. In the present work, through detailed investigations of deformation electron density, we show that the electron structures of 10H, 14H, 18R and 24R LPSO structures in Mg originate from those of deformation stacking faults in Mg, and their formation energies can be scaled with respect to formation energy and the number of layers of deformation stacking faults, while the electron structure and formation energy of the 6H LPSO structure are between those of deformation and growth stacking faults. The simulated images of high resolution transmission electron microscopy compare well with experimental observed ones. The understanding of LPSO structures in Mg enables future quantitative investigations of effects of alloying elements on properties of LPSO structures and Mg alloys. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.

AB Background: Blast wounds often involve diverse tissue types and require substantial time and treatment for appropriate healing. Some of these subsequent wounds become colonized with bacteria requiring a better understanding of how the host responds to these bacteria and what proteomic factors contribute wound healing outcome. In addition, using reliable and effective proteomic sample preparation procedures can lead to novel biomarkers for improved diagnosis and therapy.
   Results: To address this need, suitable sample preparation for 2-D DIGE proteomic characterization of wound effluent and serum samples from combat-wounded patients was investigated. Initial evaluation of crude effluent and serum proved the necessity of high abundant protein depletion. Subsequently, both samples were successfully depleted using Agilent Multiple Affinity Removal system and showed greatly improved 2-D spot maps, comprising 1,800 and 1,200 protein spots, respectively.
   Conclusion: High abundant protein removal was necessary for both wound effluent and serum. This is the first study to show a successful method for high abundant protein depletion from wound effluent which is compatible with downstream 2-D DIGE analysis. This development allows for improved biomarker discovery in wound effluent and serum samples.

AB Electron gas in the conduction channel of a Field Effect Transistor (FET) can support collective plasma oscillations tunable by the gate voltage. In the Dyakonov-Shur terahertz (THz) detector, nonlinearities in the plasma wave propagation in the gated channel of a FET lead to a constant source-to-drain voltage providing the detector output. We present the detector theory in the frame of the hydrodynamic model using the electron plasma Navier-Stokes and thermal transport equations, thus fully accounting for the hydrodynamic non-linearity, the viscosity, and pressure gradients in the detector response. Both resonant and broadband operations of the high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) based plasmonic detectors are described by this model. The relation between the electron channel density and gate voltage was modeled by the unified charge control model applicable both above and below the threshold voltage. The theoretical results are compared with the response measured in the short channel InGaAs HEMT and the analytical approximation. The THz source was operating at 1.63 THz, and the response was measured at varying signal intensities. The response of the detector operated in the open drain mode was measured above and below the threshold, and the theoretical and experimental results are shown to be in good agreement.

AB Basic phospholipase A(2) was identified from the venom of the eastern diamondback rattlesnake. The Crotalus adamanteus toxin-II (CaTx-II) induced bactericidal effects (7.8 mu g/ml) on Staphylococcus aureus, while on Burkholderia pseudomallei (KHW), and Enterobacter aerogenes were killed at 15.6 mu g/ml. CaTx-II caused pore formation and membrane damaging effects on the bacterial cell wall. CaTx-II was not cytotoxic on lung (MRC-5), skin fibroblast (HEPK) cells and in mice. CaTx-II-treated mice showed significant wound closure and complete healing by 16 days as compared to untreated controls (**P<0.01). Histological examination revealed enhanced collagen synthesis and neovascularization after treatment with CaTx-II versus 2% Fusidic Acid ointment (FAO) treated controls. Measurement of tissue cytokines revealed that interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) expression in CaTx-II treated mice was significantly suppressed versus untreated controls. In contrast, cytokines involved in wound healing and cell migration i.e., monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), fibroblast growth factor-basic (FGF-b), chemokine (KC), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) were significantly enhanced in CaTx-II treated mice, but not in the controls. CaTx-II also modulated nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B) activation during skin wound healing. The CaTx-II protein highlights distinct snake proteins as a potential source of novel antimicrobial agents with significant therapeutic application for bacterial skin infections.

AB Background: Considerable effort has been devoted to mapping the functional and effective connectivity of the human brain, but these efforts have largely been limited to tasks involving stationary subjects. Recent advances with high-density electroencephalography (EEG) and Independent Components Analysis (ICA) have enabled study of electrocortical activity during human locomotion. The goal of this work was to measure the effective connectivity of cortical activity during human standing and walking.
   Methods: We recorded 248-channels of EEG as eight young healthy subjects stood and walked on a treadmill both while performing a visual oddball discrimination task and not performing the task. ICA parsed underlying electrocortical, electromyographic, and artifact sources from the EEG signals. Inverse source modeling methods and clustering algorithms localized posterior, anterior, prefrontal, left sensorimotor, and right sensorimotor clusters of electrocortical sources across subjects. We applied a directional measure of connectivity, conditional Granger causality, to determine the effective connectivity between electrocortical sources.
   Results: Connections involving sensorimotor clusters were weaker for walking than standing regardless of whether the subject was performing the simultaneous cognitive task or not. This finding supports the idea that cortical involvement during standing is greater than during walking, possibly because spinal neural networks play a greater role in locomotor control than standing control. Conversely, effective connectivity involving non-sensorimotor areas was stronger for walking than standing when subjects were engaged in the simultaneous cognitive task.
   Conclusions: Our results suggest that standing results in greater functional connectivity between sensorimotor cortical areas than walking does. Greater cognitive attention to standing posture than to walking control could be one interpretation of that finding. These techniques could be applied to clinical populations during gait to better investigate neural substrates involved in mobility disorders.

AB A cluster approach extended to the ONIOM methodology has been applied using several density functionals and Moller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) to simulate the adsorption of selected nitrogen-containing compounds [NCCs, 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), 2,4-dinitrotoluene (DNT), 2,4-dinitroanisole (DNAN), and 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazole-5-one (NTO)] on the hydroxyated (100) surface of a-quartz. The structural properties were calculated using the M06-2X functional and 6-31G(d,p) basis set. The M06-2X-D3, PBE-D3, and MP2 methods were used to calculate the adsorption energies. Results have been compared with the data from other studies of adsorption of compounds of similar nature on silica. Effect of deformation of the silica surface and adsorbates on the binding energy values was also studied. The atoms in molecules (AIM) analysis was employed to characterize the adsorbate-adsorbent binding and to calculate the bond energies. The silica surface shows different sorption affinity toward the chemicals considered depending on their electronic structure. All target NCCs are physisorbed on the modeled silica surface. Adsorption occurs due to the formation of multiple hydrogen bonds between the functional groups of NCCs and surface silanol groups. Parallel orientation of NCCs interacting with the silica surface was found to be favorable when compared with perpendicularly oriented NCCs. NTO was found to be the most strongly adsorbed on the silica surface among all of the considered compounds. Dispersion correction was shown to play an important role in the DFT calculations of the adsorption energies of silica-NCC systems.

AB Strong electron correlation effects in the photophysics of quasi-one-dimensional a-conjugated organic systems such as polyenes, polyacetylenes, polydiacetylenes, etc., have been extensively studied. Far less is known on correlation effects in two-dimensional pi-conjugated systems. Here we present theoretical and experimental evidence for moderate repulsive electron electron interactions in a. number of finite polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon molecules with D-6h symmetry. We show that the excited state orderings in these molecules are reversed relative to that expected within one-electron and mean-field theories. Our results reflect similarities as well as differences in the role and magnitude of electron correlation effects in these two-dimensional molecules compared to those in polyenes.

AB Background: Bacterial superantigens are virulence factors that cause toxic shock syndrome. Here, the genome-wide, temporal response of mice to lethal intranasal staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) challenge was investigated in six tissues.
   Results: The earliest responses and largest number of affected genes occurred in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), spleen, and lung tissues with the highest content of both T-cells and monocyte/macrophages, the direct cellular targets of SEB. In contrast, the response of liver, kidney, and heart was delayed and involved fewer genes, but revealed a dominant genetic program that was seen in all 6 tissues. Many of the 85 uniquely annotated transcripts participating in this shared genomic response have not been previously linked to SEB. Nine of the 85 genes were subsequently confirmed by RTPCR in every tissue/organ at 24 h. These 85 transcripts, up-regulated in all tissues, annotated to the interferon (IFN)/antiviralresponse and included genes belonging to the DNA/RNA sensing system, DNA damage repair, the immunoproteasome, and the ER/metabolic stress-response and apoptosis pathways. Overall, this shared program was identified as a type I and II interferon (IFN)-response and the promoters of these genes were highly enriched for IFN regulatory matrices. Several genes whose secreted products induce the IFN pathway were up-regulated at early time points in PBMCs, spleen, and/or lung. Furthermore, IFN regulatory factors including Irf1, Irf7 and Irf8, and Zbp1, a DNA sensor/transcription factor that can directly elicit an IFN innate immune response, participated in this host-wide SEB signature.
   Conclusion: Global gene-expression changes across multiple organs implicated a host-wide IFN-response in SEB-induced death. Therapies aimed at IFN-associated innate immunity may improve outcome in toxic shock syndromes.

TI Feasibility of Tracking Fish with Acoustic Transmitters in the Ice

SO SCIENTIFIC REPORTS

DT Article
ID TELEMETRY SYSTEM; INSTRUMENTATION; DESIGN
AB The Juvenile Salmon Acoustic Telemetry System (JSATS) has been used at many dams but has never been deployed in the near-dam tailrace environment. The use of JSATS in the tailrace is of interest to fishery managers to evaluate downstream passage behavior of juvenile salmonids and dam approach behavior of upstream migrating adult salmon and lamprey. The acoustic noise level and detection range of JSATS were studied to determine the feasibility of deploying JSATS in the Ice Harbor Dam tailrace. The noise level measured from the powerhouse deck was less than 104 dB re 1 mu Pa except for the turbine outlet near the spillway, and 350 mdownstream of the dam, the noise level was less than 106 dB. The measured noise levels would allow a theoretical detection range of 100 m to 350 m and 85 m to 320 m, respectively. Validation experiments showed that the detection range is 113 to 184 m using hydrophones deployed from the powerhouse deck and 148 m using hydrophones deployed 500 m downstream of the dam.

AB Background: Plasmodium vivax is the most widespread human malaria in tropical and subtropical countries, including the Republic of Korea. Vivax malaria is characterized by hypnozoite relapse and long latency infection by the retained liver stage of P. vivax, and somewhat surprisingly, little is known of the liver stage antigens of this parasite. Here, we report for the first time the characterization of a liver stage antigen of P. vivax (PvLSA).
   Methods: Five peptides located inside PvLSA were synthesized, and specific anti-sera to the respective peptides were used to localize PvLSA on P. vivax parasites in human liver cells by immunofluorescence. Western blotting and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay were performed using the five peptides and sera collected from vivax malaria patients and from normal healthy controls.
   Results: PvLSA was localized on P. vivax parasites in human liver cells. Vivax malaria-infected patients were detected using the five peptides by western blotting. Furthermore, the peptides reacted with the sera of vivax malaria patients.
   Conclusions: These results suggest that PvLSA may function during the liver stage of P. vivax.

AB Objective: We evaluated an alternative administration route, reduced schedule priming series, and increased intervals between booster doses for anthrax vaccine adsorbed (AVA). AVA's originally licensed schedule was 6 subcutaneous (SQ) priming injections administered at months (m) 0, 0.5, 1, 6, 12 and 18 with annual boosters; a simpler schedule is desired.
   Methods: Through a multicenter randomized, double blind, non-inferiority Phase IV human clinical trial, the originally licensed schedule was compared to four alternative and two placebo schedules. 8-SQgroup participants received 6 SQ injections with m30 and m42 "annual" boosters; participants in the 8-IM group received intramuscular (IM) injections according to the same schedule. Reduced schedule groups (7-IM, 5-IM, 4-IM) received IM injections at m0, m1, m6; at least one of the m0.5, m12, m18, m30 vaccine doses were replaced with saline. All reduced schedule groups received a m42 booster. Post-injection blood draws were taken two to four weeks following injection. Non-inferiority of the alternative schedules was compared to the 8-SQ group at m2, m7, and m43. Reactogenicity outcomes were proportions of injection site and systemic adverse events (AEs).
   Results: The 8-IM group's m2 response was non-inferior to the 8-SQgroup for the three primary endpoints of anti-protective antigen IgG geometric mean concentration (GMC), geometric mean titer, and proportion of responders with a 4-fold rise in titer. At m7 anti-PA IgG GMCs for the three reduced dosage groups were non-inferior to the 8-SQ group GMCs. At m43, 8-IM, 5-IM, and 4-IM group GMCs were superior to the 8-SQ group. Solicited injection site AEs occurred at lower proportions in the IM group compared to SQ. Route of administration did not influence the occurrence of systemic AEs. A 3 dose IM priming schedule with doses administered at m0, m1, and m6 elicited long term immunological responses and robust immunological memory that was efficiently stimulated by a single booster vaccination at 42 months.
   Conclusions: A priming series of 3 intramuscular doses administered at m0, m1, and m6 with a triennial booster was non-inferior to more complex schedules for achieving antibody response. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

AB Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a leading cause of seafood-related gastroenteritis and is also an autochthonous member of marine and estuarine environments worldwide. One-hundred seventy strains of V parahaemolyticus were isolated from water and plankton samples collected along the Georgian coast of the Black Sea during 28 months of sample collection. All isolated strains were tested for presence of tlh, trh, and tdh. A subset of strains were serotyped and tested for additional factors and markers of pandemicity. Twenty-six serotypes, five of which are clinically relevant, were identified. Although all 170 isolates were negative for tdh, trh, and the Kanagawa Phenomenon, 7 possessed the GS-PCR sequence and 27 the 850 bp sequence of V parahaemolyticus pandemic strains. The V parahaemolyticus population in the Black Sea was estimated to be genomically heterogeneous by rep-PCR and the serodiversity observed did not correlate with rep-PCR genomic diversity. Statistical modeling was used to predict presence of V parahaemolyticus as a function of water temperature, with strongest concordance observed for Green Cape site samples (Percent of total variance = 70, P < 0.001). Results demonstrate a diverse population of V parahaemolyticus in the Black Sea, some of which carry pandemic markers, with increased water temperature correlated to an increase in abundance of V parahaemolyticus.

AB Alveolar macrophages (AMs) phagocytose Bacillus anthracis following inhalation and induce the production of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines to mediate the activation of innate immunity. Ames, the virulent strain of B. anthracis, contains two plasmids that encode the antiphagocytic poly-gamma-d-glutamic acid capsule and the lethal toxin. The attenuated Sterne strain of B. anthracis, which lacks the plasmid encoding capsule, is widely adapted as a vaccine strain. Although differences in the outcome of infection with the two strains may have originated from the presence or absence of an anti-phagocytic capsule, the disease pathogenesis following infection will be manifested via the host responses, which is not well understood. To gain understanding of the host responses at cellular level, a microarray analysis was performed using primary rhesus macaque AMs infected with either Ames or Sterne spores. Notably, 528 human orthologs were identified to be differentially expressed in AMs infected with either strain of the B. anthracis. Meta-analyses revealed genes differentially expressed in response to B. anthracis infection were also induced upon infections with multiple pathogens such as Francisella Novicida or Staphylococcus aureus. This suggests the existence of a common molecular signature in response to pathogen infections. Importantly, the microarray and protein expression data for certain cytokines, chemokines and host factors provide further insights on how cellular processes such as innate immune sensing pathways, anti-apoptosis versus apoptosis may be differentially modulated in response to the virulent or vaccine strain of B. anthracis. The reported differences may account for the marked difference in pathogenicity between these two strains.

TI Convective forcing of mercury and ozone in the Arctic boundary layer

AB The ongoing regime shift of Arctic sea ice from perennial to seasonal ice is associated with more dynamic patterns of opening and closing sea-ice leads (large transient channels of open water in the ice)(1-3), which may affect atmospheric and biogeochemical cycles in the Arctic(4). Mercury and ozone are rapidly removed from the atmospheric boundary layer during depletion events in the Arctic(5-7), caused by destruction of ozone along with oxidation of gaseous elemental mercury (Hg(0)) to oxidized mercury (Hg(II)) in the atmosphere and its subsequent deposition to snow and ice(5). Ozone depletion events can change the oxidative capacity of the air by affecting atmospheric hydroxyl radical chemistry(8), whereas atmospheric mercury depletion events can increase the deposition of mercury to the Arctic(6,9-11), some of which can enter ecosystems during snowmelt(12). Here we present near-surface measurements of atmospheric mercury and ozone from two Arctic field campaigns near Barrow, Alaska. We find that coastal depletion events are directly linked to sea-ice dynamics. A consolidated ice cover facilitates the depletion of Hg(0) and ozone, but these immediately recover to near-background concentrations in the upwind presence of open sea-ice leads. We attribute the rapid recoveries of Hg(0) and ozone to lead-initiated shallow convection in the stable Arctic boundary layer, which mixes Hg(0) and ozone from undepleted air masses aloft. This convective forcing provides additional Hg(0) to the surface layer at a time of active depletion chemistry, where it is subject to renewed oxidation. Future work will need to establish the degree to which large-scale changes in sea-ice dynamics across the Arctic alter ozone chemistry and mercury deposition in fragile Arctic ecosystems.

TI A retrospective analysis of the protective efficacy of tafenoquine and

   during deployment to a malaria-endemic area

AB Background: In 2000/2001, the Australian Defense Forces (ADF), in collaboration with SmithKline Beecham and the United States Army, conducted a field trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of tafenoquine and mefloquine/primaquine for the prophylaxis of malaria amongst non-immune Australian soldiers deployed to East Timor (now called Timor Leste) for peacekeeping operations. The lack of a concurrent placebo control arm prevented an internal estimate of the malaria attack rate and so the protective efficacy of the study regimens was not determined at the time.
   Methods: In a retrospective analysis of the trial results, the all species malaria attack rate was estimated for the prophylactic phase of the study which was defined as the period between administration of the first prophylactic dose and the first dose of post-deployment medication. First, the Plasmodium vivax attack rate was estimated during the prophylactic phase of the deployment by adjusting the observed P. vivax relapse rate during post-deployment to account for the known anti-relapse efficacies (or effectiveness) of the study medications (determined from prior studies). The all species malaria attack rate (P. vivax and Plasmodium falciparum) was then determined by adjusting the P. vivax attack rate based on the ratio of P. falciparum to P. vivax observed during prior ADF deployments to Timor Leste. This estimated all species malaria attack rate was then used as the `constant estimated attack rate' in the calculation of the protective efficacy of tafenoquine and mefloquine during the prophylactic phase of the deployment.
   Results: The estimated attack rate during the prophylactic phase of the study was determined to be 7.88%. The protective efficacies of tafenoquine and mefloquine, with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CI), were determined to be 100% (93%-100%) and 100% (79%-100%) respectively. Conclusions: The protective efficacy of tafenoquine (200 mg per day for three days, followed by weekly 200 mg maintenance doses) is similar to that of the weekly standard of care (mefloquine, 250 mg).

AB The effect of composition and microstructure of NiO on the electrochemical properties of NiO/reduced graphene oxide-based supercapacitor electrodes prepared by solvothermal methods were investigated systematically. The findings reveal that the influences of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) coating on electrode systems are essentially 2-fold. One is to increase the electrical conductivity of the electrodes, especially when the electrodes are not very conductive. However, this influence is not that obvious when the electrodes are already highly conductive to begin with. The second influence, is to improve the mechanical stability of the electrode, thus increasing the cyclability of the electrodes. Moreover, adding glucose during the electrode synthesis reduces the particle size as well as the thickness of deposited active material (NiO) on the substrate under similar mass loading. These thinner but denser NiO structures exhibited much improved electrochemical performance. These understandings will be important in the designing of high performance energy storage devices, especially from materials with limited electrical conductivity.

AB We present an archival memory utilizing a spin torque nano-oscillator (STNO) to read bits of data with different magnetic permeability. Basing a magnetic memory on this intrinsic property rather than remanent magnetization reduces the risk of data corruption. The permeability of the bits is read as changes in an applied probe field near the media. These changes in the probe field are measured by detecting microwave frequency shifts in STNOs. The probe field can be tuned over hundreds of Oe to optimize the reading of the media. Using a 400 Oe probe field, we have measured 2% frequency shifts in a STNO near micrometre-sized bits of (1) lithographically-patterned permalloy lines and (2) laser-crystallized Metglas lines. Data from either media was not corrupted by exposure to fields of 6400 Oe and temperatures of 523 K.

AB Although commonly known as a highly toxic chemical, cyanide is also an essential reagent for many industrial processes in areas such as mining, electroplating, and synthetic fiber production. The "heavy" use of cyanide in these industries, along with its necessary transportation, increases the possibility of human exposure. Because the onset of cyanide toxicity is fast, a rapid, sensitive, and accurate method for the diagnosis of cyanide exposure is necessary. Therefore, a field sensor for the diagnosis of cyanide exposure was developed based on the reaction of naphthalene dialdehyde, taurine, and cyanide, yielding a fluorescent beta-isoindole. An integrated cyanide capture "apparatus", consisting of sample and cyanide capture chambers, allowed rapid separation of cyanide from blood samples. Rabbit whole blood was added to the sample chamber, acidified, and the HCN gas evolved was actively transferred through a stainless steel channel to the capture chamber containing a basic solution of naphthalene dialdehyde (NDA) and taurine. The overall analysis time (including the addition of the sample) was <3 min, the linear range was 3.13-200 mu M, and the limit of detection was 0.78 mu M. None of the potential interferents investigated (NaHS, NH4OH, NaSCN, and human serum albumin) produced a signal that could be interpreted as a false positive or a false negative for cyanide exposure. Most importantly, the sensor was 100% accurate in diagnosing cyanide poisoning for acutely exposed rabbits.

AB In the RV144 HIV-1 vaccine efficacy trial, IgG antibody (Ab) binding levels to variable regions 1 and 2 (V1V2) of the HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein gp120 were an inverse correlate of risk of HIV-1 infection. To determine if V1V2-specific Abs cross-react with V1V2 from different HIV-1 subtypes, if the nature of the V1V2 antigen used to asses cross-reactivity influenced infection risk, and to identify immune assays for upcoming HIV-1 vaccine efficacy trials, new V1V2-scaffold antigens were designed and tested. Protein scaffold antigens carrying the V1V2 regions from HIV-1 subtypes A, B, C, D or CRF01_AE were assayed in pilot studies, and six were selected to assess cross-reactive Abs in the plasma from the original RV144 case-control cohort (41 infected vaccinees, 205 frequency-matched uninfected vaccinees, and 40 placebo recipients) using ELISA and a binding Ab multiplex assay. IgG levels to these antigens were assessed as correlates of risk in vaccine recipients using weighted logistic regression models. Levels of Abs reactive with subtype A, B, C and CRF01_AE V1V2-scaffold antigens were all significant inverse correlates of risk (p-values of 0.0008-0.05; estimated odds ratios of 0.53-0.68 per 1 standard deviation increase). Thus, levels of vaccine-induced IgG Abs recognizing V1V2 regions from multiple HIV-1 subtypes, and presented on different scaffolds, constitute inverse correlates of risk for HIV-1 infection in the RV144 vaccine trial. The V1V2 antigens provide a link between RV144 and upcoming HIV-1 vaccine trials, and identify reagents and methods for evaluating V1V2 Abs as possible correlates of protection against HIV-1 infection.

AB The strain dependence of the electronic properties of bilayer sheets of 2H-MoS2 is studied using ab initio simulations based on density functional theory. An indirect band gap for bilayer MoS2 is observed for all variations of strain along the basal plane. Several transitions for the indirect band gap are observed for various strains for the bilayer structure. The variation of the band gap and the carrier effective masses for the holes and the electrons for the bilayer MoS2 structure under conditions of uniaxial strain, biaxial strain, as well as uniaxial stress is investigated.

AB Remaining committed to goals is necessary (albeit not sufficient) to attaining them, but very little is known about domain-general individual differences that contribute to sustained goal commitment. The current investigation examines the association between grit, defined as passion and perseverance for long-term goals, other individual difference variables, and retention in four different contexts: the military, workplace sales, high school, and marriage. Grit predicted retention over and beyond established context-specific predictors of retention (e.g., intelligence, physical aptitude, Big Five personality traits, job tenure) and demographic variables in each setting. Grittier soldiers were more likely to complete an Army Special Operations Forces (ARSOF) selection course, grittier sales employees were more likely to keep their jobs, grittier students were more likely to graduate from high school, and grittier men were more likely to stay married. The relative predictive validity of grit compared to other traditional predictors of retention is examined in each of the four studies. These findings suggest that in addition to domain-specific influences, there may be domain-general individual differences which influence commitment to diverse life goals over time.

AB The conversion of readily available cellulosic biomass to valuable feedstocks and fuels is an attrative goal but a challenging transformation that requires the cleavage of multiple nonactivated CO bonds. Herein, the Lewis acid trispentafluorophenylborane (B(C6F5)(3)) is shown to catalyze the metal-free hydrosilylative reduction of monosaccharides and polysaccharides to give hydrocarbons with reduced oxygen content. The choice of the silane reductant influences the degree of deoxygenation, with diethylsilane effecting the complete reduction to produce hexanes while tertiary silanes give partially deoxygenated tetraol and triol products.

AB Better understanding of the vulnerability of coastal habitats to sea level rise and major storm events are aided by the use of simulation models. Since coastal habitats also undergo frequent nourishment restoration works in order to maintain their viability, vulnerability models must be able to assess the combined effects of sea level rise, storm surge, and beach nourishment. The Sea Level Affecting Marshes Model (SLAMM) was modified and applied to quantify the changes in the beach area in a 5-km stretch of beach in Santa Rosa Island, Florida due to these combined effects. A new methodology to estimate spatial erosion patterns was developed based on measured erosion during three historic storm events representing a wide range of storm intensities over the study area (named storms Ivan (H5), Dennis (H4), and Katrina (TS)). Future major storms over the 2012-2100 period were generated based on the frequency distribution of historic storms using 4000 simulations to account for uncertainty in the storms temporal distribution. Potential effects of individual, successive, and random storms occurring over the area under 0-1.5 m nourishment schemes were evaluated. The risk of losing the beach habitat in 90 years for different scenarios is studied based on probability distribution contours constructed with the model results. Simulation results suggest that without nourishment, a major storm with a category of tropical storm or higher will reduce the beach at the end of the period by 97-100%. This loss can be reduced to 60% by maintaining a 1-m beach elevation and can further be reduced to 34% with 1.5 m beach nourishment. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB Soldiers must perform a variety of physical tasks that the civilian population does not. The Modified Oswestry Disability Index (M-ODI) is the most widely used measure of function in patients with low back pain but does not include military tasks. The Military Low Back Pain Questionnaire (MBQ) was developed by military Physical Therapists to include tasks such as wearing body armor. The purpose of this study was to provide preliminary evidence for the reliability, responsiveness, and validity of the MBQ in nondeployed Soldiers. The MBQ had good reliability compared to the M-ODI. The inter-rater correlation coefficient for the M-ODI was 0.79 and 0.75 for the MBQ. Cronbach's alpha was 0.75 and 0.85 for the M-ODI and MBQ, respectively. The minimal detectable change for the M-ODI was 21.03 and 22.97 for the MBQ. Responsiveness was assessed using a global rating of change; area under the curve for the M-ODI was 0.82 and 0.90 for the MBQ. The correlation between the M-ODI and the MBQ was r = 0.80 indicating good concurrent validity. The MBQ was as reliable as the M-ODI in an Army population. There were trends in the psychometrics suggesting the MBQ may be more sensitive to change than the M-ODI in this population.

AB The purpose of this study was to compare knowledge in managing low back pain (LBP) between physical therapists and family practice physicians. Fifty-four physical therapists and 130 family practice physicians currently serving in the U.S. Air Force completed standardized examinations assessing knowledge, attitudes, the usefulness of clinical practice guidelines, and management strategies for patients with LBP. Beliefs of physical therapists and family practice physicians about LBP were compared using relative risks and independent t tests. Scores related to knowledge, attitudes, and the usefulness of clinical practice guidelines were generally similar between the groups. However, physical therapists were more likely to recommend the correct drug treatments for patients with acute LBP compared to family practice physicians (85.2% vs. 68.5%; relative risk: 1.24 [95% confidence interval: 1.06-1.46]) and believe that patient encouragement and explanation is important (75.9% vs. 56.2%; relative risk: 1.35 [95% confidence interval: 1.09-1.67]). In addition, physical therapists showed significantly greater knowledge regarding optimal management strategies for patients with LBP compared to family practice physicians. The results of this study may have implications for health policy decisions regarding the utilization of physical therapists to provide care for patients with LBP without a referral.

TI Aeromedical Evacuation Planning Using Geospatial Decision-Support
SO MILITARY MEDICINE
LA English
DT Article
AB In this study, we proffer an algorithmic, geospatial-based decision-support methodology that assists military decision-makers in determining which aeromedical evacuation (MEDEVAC) assets to launch after receiving an injury location, given knowledge only of terrain, aircraft location, and aircraft capabilities. The objective is for military medical planners to use this decision-support tool (1) to improve real-time situational awareness by visualization of MEDEVAC coverage, showing which areas can be reached within established timelines; (2) to support medical planning by visualizing the impact of changes in the medical footprint to the MEDEVAC coverage; and (3) to support decision-making by providing a time-sorted list of MEDEVAC asset packages to select from, given the location of the patients. This same geospatial-based decision tool can be used for proper emplacement of evacuation assets such that the theater is covered within a truly representative 1-hour response time. We conclude with a discussion of applicability of this tool in medical force structure planning.

AB This study attempted to determine whether cefuroxime was superior to cephalothin as a surrogate marker for cefpodoxime among urinary tract isolates. The Micro Scan system (Siemens) was used to determine susceptibility for cephalothin and cefuroxime on consecutive cultures with a colony count of >= 50 000 organisms. Simultaneously, an Etest (bioMerieux) for cefpodoxime was conducted. The cefpodoxime interpretation was compared to that of the other two agents, and the categorical agreement was calculated, defined as the percentage of identical susceptibility interpretations. Cefuroxime (83%) had a significantly higher categorical agreement than cephalothin (63 %) among 300 isolates (P<0.01). The major error rate was 16% for cephalothin and 3% for cefuroxime. The very major error rate was 7% for cephalothin and 14 % for cefuroxime among the 14 cefpodoxime-resistant isolates. For Escherichia coli, the major error rates were 15% and 1 % for cephalothin and cefuroxime, respectively. Very major error rates were 9% for both agents. Cefuroxime was a better predictor of cefpodoxime susceptibility than cephalothin, and appears to be the preferred surrogate agent for the Micro Scan system, particularly for E. coli.

Interestingly, this last clade appears not to express the second non-structural protein ORF. Karimabad virus, previously classified as a member of the SFNV complex, and Gabek Forest virus are distinct and form a new species complex (named Karimabad) in the Phlebovirus genus. In contrast with the high reassortment frequency observed in some South American phleboviruses, the only virus of the SFNV complex with evidence of reassortment was Granada virus.

AB The strand-Cartesian grid approach offers many advantages in terms of automation, efficiency, and accuracy for complex moving-body problems, such as rotorcraft. In this study, the solution procedures for strand grids are investigated by testing a variety of explicit, implicit, and hybrid methods on canonical aerodynamics test cases involving inviscid and viscous flows in three dimensions. A novel multigrid algorithm is formulated that acts at both the nonlinear pseudotime level and the linear level using line Gauss-Seidel sweeps. Various approximations are tested for the Jacobian, and the impacts on memory and convergence are quantified. The major result is that implicit schemes with first-order approximate Jacobians employing few Gauss-Seidel sweeps are most efficient for strand grids. The improvement by using the multigrid algorithm is significant for all cases tested and indicates O(n) convergence.

AB We tested an immunomarking system that used egg white as marker and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay as a detection assay to characterize face fly (Musca autumnalis DeGeer) dispersal from cow pats in a pastured beef cattle operation. In microcage assays, adult flies acquired marker after contact with cow pats that were treated with marker and field aged up to 11 d. In arena assays on sprayed full-size cow pats, 77% of eclosed face flies acquired the marker. In a field- marking study, four applications of egg white marker were applied on freshly deposited cow pats over a summer at two peripheral paddocks to a main grazing pasture of approximate to 50 head of beef cattle. Of the 663 face flies captured, 108 were positive for the egg white marker (16.3%). Of the marked flies, approximate to twofold more male than female flies were captured. Sex-specific dispersal distances were roughly equal up to 450 m, with 11% of female flies dispersing >450 m. Dispersal capability of face flies is discussed in relation to efficacy of rotational grazing and other IPM strategies.

AB The U.S. military consists of five armed services: the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Coast Guard. It directly employs 1.4 million active duty military, 1.3 million National Guard and reserve military, and 700,000 civilian individuals. This paper describes the military guidance used to preserve and maintain the health of military personnel while they accomplish necessary and purposeful work in areas where they are exposed to radiation. It also discusses military exposure cohorts and associated radiogenic disease compensation programs administered by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the U.S. Department of Justice, and the U.S. Department of Labor. With a few exceptions, the U.S. military has effectively employed ionizing radiation since it was first introduced during the Spanish-American War in 1898. The U. S military annually monitors 70,000 individuals for occupational radiation exposure: similar to 2% of its workforce. In recent years, the Departments of the Navy (including the Marine Corps), the Army, and the Air Force all have a low collective dose that remains close to 1 person-Sv annually. Only a few Coast Guard individuals are now routinely monitored for radiation exposure. As with the nuclear industry as a whole, the Naval Reactors program has a higher collective dose than the remainder of the U.S. military. The U.S. military maintains occupational radiation exposure records on over two million individuals from 1945 through the present. These records are controlled in accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974 but are available to affected individuals or their designees and other groups performing sanctioned epidemiology studies.

AB Objective. To delineate daily and cumulative glucocorticoid dose thresholds associated with increased mortality rates in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
   Methods. We studied RA patients recruited from rheumatology clinics. Annually, we assessed the glucocorticoid dose, demographic, socioeconomic, clinical, and laboratory features of RA, cardiovascular (CV) risk factors, and vital status. We used Cox proportional hazards regression to assess associations between the daily or cumulative glucocorticoid dose and death, adjusting for potential confounders and for the propensity to receive glucocorticoids. We tested strata of the glucocorticoid dose to delineate the threshold associated with death.
   Results. We studied 779 RA patients with a total of 7,203 person-years of observation, during which 237 of them died, yielding a mortality rate of 3.2 per 100 person-years (95% confidence interval [95% CI] 2.8-3.7). One hundred twenty of the deaths were due to CV causes, yielding a CV mortality rate of 1.8 (95% CI 1.5-2.1). Exposure to glucocorticoids was associated with a dose-dependent increase in death from all causes, with a ratio (HR) of 1.07 per mg of prednisone per day (95% CI 1.05-1.08). Compared to patients who were not receiving corticosteroids, the minimum daily prednisone dose threshold associated with an increase in all-cause mortality was 8-15 mg, with an adjusted HR of 1.78 (95% CI 1.22-2.60). For the cumulative dose of gluco-corticoids, the minimum dosage associated with allcause mortality was 40 gm (HR 1.74 [95% CI 1.25-2.44]).
   Conclusion. Glucocorticoid use in RA is associated with a dose-dependent increase in mortality rates, with a daily threshold dose of 8 mg, at which the number of deaths increased in a dose-dependent manner. These findings may assist clinicians in selecting the appropriate glucocorticoid dosage for RA patients who require these agents.

AB The autonomic nervous system plays a central role in both acute and chronic blood pressure regulation in humans. The activity of the sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system is positively associated with peripheral resistance, an important determinant of mean arterial pressure in men. In contrast, there is no association between sympathetic nerve activity and peripheral resistance in women before menopause, yet a positive association after menopause. We hypothesized that autonomic support of blood pressure is higher after menopause in women. We examined the effect of ganglionic blockade on arterial blood pressure and how this relates to baseline muscle sympathetic nerve activity in 12 young (25 +/- 1 years) and 12 older postmenopausal (61 +/- 2 years) women. The women were studied before and during autonomic blockade using trimethaphan camsylate. At baseline, muscle sympathetic nerve activity burst frequency and burst incidence were higher in the older women (33 +/- 3 versus 15 +/- 1 bursts/min; 57 +/- 5 versus 25 +/- 2 bursts/100 heartbeats, respectively; P<0.05). Muscle sympathetic nerve activity bursts were abolished by trimethaphan within minutes. Older women had a greater decrease in mean arterial pressure (-29 +/- 2 versus -9 +/- 2 mm Hg; P<0.01) and total peripheral resistance (-10 +/- 1 versus -5 +/- 1 mm Hg/L per minute; P<0.01) during trimethaphan. Baseline muscle sympathetic nerve activity was associated with the decrease in mean arterial pressure during trimethaphan (r=-0.74; P<0.05). In summary, our results suggest that autonomic support of blood pressure is greater in older women compared with young women and that elevated sympathetic nerve activity in older women contributes importantly to the increased incidence of hypertension after menopause.

AB Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are attractive candidates for inclusion in cell-based therapies by virtue of their abilities to home to wound sites. However, in-depth characterization of the specific effects of MSCs on their microenvironments is needed to realize their full therapeutic potentials. Furthermore, since MSCs of varying properties can be isolated from a diverse spectrum of tissues, a strategic and rational approach in MSC sourcing for a particular application has yet to be achieved. For example, MSCs that activate their proteolytic environments may promote tissue remodeling, while those from different tissue sources may inhibit proteases and promote tissue stabilization. This study attempts to address these issues by analyzing MSCs isolated from three adult tissue sources in terms of their effects on their proteolytic microenvironments. Human bone marrow, adipose, and traumatized muscle derived MSCs were compared in their soluble and cellular-associated MMP components and activity. For all types of MSCs, MMP activity associated with the cell surface, but activity levels and MMP profiles differed with tissue source. All MSC types bound exogenous active MMPs at their surfaces. MSCs were also able to activate exogenous proMMP-2 and proMMP-13. This is in marked contrast to the MSC soluble compartment, which strongly inhibited MMPs via endogenous TIMPs. The exact TIMP used to inhibit the exogenous MMP differed with MSC type. Thus, MSCs saturate their environment with both MMPs and TIMPs.

AB BACKGROUND: The ability to monitor the patient of hemorrhage noninvasively remains a challenge. We examined the ability of resonance Raman spectroscopy to monitor tissue hemoglobin oxygenation (RRS-StO(2)) during hemorrhage and compared its performance with conventional invasive mixed venous (SmvO(2)) and central venous (ScvO(2)) hemoglobin oxygen saturation as well as with near-infrared spectroscopy tissue hemoglobin oxygenation (NIRS-StO(2)).
   METHODS: Five male swine were anesthetized and instrumented followed by hemorrhage at a rate of 30 mL/min for 60 minutes. RRS-StO(2) was continuously measured from the buccal mucosa, and NIRS-StO(2) was continuously measured from the forelimb. Paired interval measures of SmvO(2), ScvO(2), and lactate were made. Pearson correlation was used to quantify the degree to which any two variables are related. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) area under the curve values were used for pooled data for RRS-StO(2), NIRS-StO(2), SmvO(2), and ScvO(2) to compare performance in the ability of tissue oxygenation methods to predict the presence of an elevated arterial blood lactate level.
   RESULTS: Sequential RRS-StO(2) changes tracked changes in SmvO(2) (r = 0.917; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.867-0.949) and ScvO(2) (r = 0.901; 95% CI, 0.828-0.944) during hemorrhage, while NIRS-StO(2) failed to do so for SmvO(2) (r = 0.283; 95% CI, 0.04919-0.4984) and ScvO(2) (r = 0.142; 95% CI, -0.151 to 0.412). ROC curve performance of oxygenation measured to indicate lactate less than or greater than 3 mM yielded the following ROC area under the curve values: SmvO(2) (1.0), ScvO(2) (0.994), RRS-StO(2) (0.972), and NIRS-StO(2) (0.611).
   CONCLUSION: RRS-StO(2) seems to have significantly better ability to track central oxygenation measures during hemorrhage as well as to predict shock based on elevated lactate levels when compared with NIRS-StO(2). Copyright (C) 2014 by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins

AB High speed video and streak camera imaging are used to measure peak pressures for explosions of spherical charges of the high explosive C-4 (92% trimethylenetrinitramine, C3H6N6O6). The technique measures the velocity of the air shock produced by the detonation of the explosive charges, converts this velocity to a Mach number, and uses the Mach number to determine a peak shock pressure. Peak pressure measurements are reported from a few millimeters to approximately one meter from the charge surface. Optical peak pressure measurements are compared to peak pressures measured using piezoelectric pressure transducers, and to peak pressure measurements estimated using the blast computer code CONWEP. A discussion of accuracy of peak pressures determined optically is provided.

AB In an effort to improve the insensitive munition (IM) response but maintain performance of aluminized formulations, silicon was investigated as a possible replacement for aluminum. An RDX-based silicon explosive was developed in which nearly 90% reaction of silicon to silicon dioxide was realized by 7 volume expansions as measured by the 2.54cm diameter copper cylinder expansion test. In spite of the low nitramine loading in the formulation (79wt.-%), the corresponding Gurney constant for the explosive was 2.81 +/- 0.02kms(-1), which is superior to Composition A-3 under the same experimental conditions (91% RDX, 2.69 +/- 0.02kms(-1)). Energy calculations from detonation calorimetry also indicate reaction of the silicon, which was further confirmed by both silicon metal and silicon dioxide in the analyzed residue. The energy release, despite it being equivalent to a highly loaded explosive, was found to lag behind the rate of A-3. This indicates silicon oxidation may occur sometime after lighter gas reactions in the reaction front, but is fast enough to impart work in the copper cylinder test.

ID COMBUSTION SYNTHESIS
AB Replacement reactive systems for the tungsten delay composition (W/BaCrO4/KClO4/diatomaceous earth) are needed due to recent concerns over the toxicity of hexavalent chromium and perchlorates. Systems based on condensed phase reactions, that are typically used in combustion synthesis (e.g., Ti/C or Ni/Al) are of interest as replacements due to their wide range of combustion velocities and potentially low environmental impact. In this work, the combustion characteristics of the Ti/C-3Ni/Al reactive system were examined in microchannels with inner diameters ranging from 3.0-6.0mm (i.e., similar to that of a common delay housing). It was found that this reactive system could be tailored to overcome the heat losses associated with small diameter microchannels by changing the relative amounts of Ti/C and 3Ni/Al. At 40wt.-% Ti/C content, the failure diameter was found to be between 3.0 and 4.0mm, while at 30wt.-% Ti/C the failure diameter was between 4.8 and 6.0mm. Measured combustion temperatures in metal microchannels were approximately 1700K while those of unconfined pellets were around 100K greater. Increasing Ti/C content resulted in faster combustion velocities while decreasing microchannel diameter resulted in slower combustion velocities. At these small sizes the effects of adding a thermal barrier (specifically Grafoil) to minimize radial heat losses to the microchannel were shown to be minimal with respect to combustion velocity. The Ti/C-3Ni/Al system was shown to be a suitable delay fuze composition with tunable combustion velocities ranging from 2.1-38.1mms(-1) in aluminum microchannels with diameters ranging from 4.0-6.0mm.

AB In a classic psychological science experiment, Shepard and Metzler (1971) discovered that the time participants took to judge whether two rotated abstract block figures were identical increased monotonically with the figures' relative angular disparity. They posited that participants rotate mental images to achieve a match and that mental rotation recruits motor processes. This interpretation has become central in the literature, but until now, surprisingly few researchers have compared mental and physical rotation. We had participants rotate virtual Shepard and Metzler figures mentally and physically; response time, accuracy, and real-time rotation data were collected. Results suggest that mental and physical rotation processes overlap and also reveal novel conclusions about physical rotation that have implications for mental rotation. Notably, participants did not rotate figures to achieve a match, but rather until they reached an off-axis canonical difference, and rotational strategies markedly differed for judgments of whether the figures were the same or different.

AB Noncompressible torso hemorrhage is a leading cause of death in trauma, with many patients dying before definitive hemorrhage control. Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is an adjunct than can be used to expand the window of salvage in patients with end-stage hemorrhagic shock. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of continuous and intermittent REBOA (iREBOA) on mortality using a highly lethal porcine model of noncompressible torso hemorrhage. Male splenectomized pigs (70-90 kg) underwent a laparoscopic liver injury (80% resection of left lobe) followed by a 10-min free-bleed period. Animals were then divided into three groups (n = 8) for a 60-min intervention phase (n = 8): continuous occlusion (cREBOA), iREBOA, or no occlusion (nREBOA). Groups then underwent whole blood resuscitation, damage control surgery, and further critical care. Endpoints were mortality and hemodynamic and circulating measures of shock and resuscitation. Systolic blood pressure (in mmHg) at the end of the free-bleed period for cREBOA, iREBOA, and nREBOA was 31 +/- 14, 48 +/- 28, and 28 +/- 17, respectively (P = 0.125). Following the start of the intervention phase, systolic blood pressure was higher in the iREBOA and cREBOA groups compared with the nREBOA (85 +/- 37 and 96 +/- 20 vs. 42 +/- 4; P < 0.001). Overall mortality for the cREBOA, iREBOA, and nREBOA groups was 25.0%, 37.5%, and 100.0% (P = 0.001). Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta can temporize exsanguinating hemorrhage and restore life-sustaining perfusion, bridging critical physiology to definitive hemorrhage control. Prospective observational studies of REBOA as a hemorrhage control adjunct should be undertaken in appropriate groups of human trauma patients.

AB Background: This study compared three different fluid resuscitation strategies in terms of respiratory tolerance and hemodynamic efficacy in a pig model of blunt chest trauma with lung contusion and controlled hemorrhagic shock. We hypothesized that the choice of fluid resuscitation strategy (type and amount of fluids) may impact differently contused lungs in terms of extravascular lung water (EVLW) 20 h after trauma. Methods: Anesthetized female pigs (n = 5/group) received five bolt shots to the right thoracic cage and allowed to hemorrhage for 30 min, with 25 to 30 mL/kg of blood loss. Pigs were randomly assigned to resuscitation groups that maintained a minimum mean arterial blood pressure of 70 mmHg with one of three methods: normal saline (NS), unrestricted normal saline; NOREPI, low-volume normal saline with norepinephrine; or HS-HES, hypertonic saline with hydroxyethyl starch. Control pigs were anesthetized, but received no injury or treatment. After 20 h, animals were killed to measure EVLW by gravimetry. Results: Fluid loading was significantly different in each group. All three treatment groups had higher EVLW than controls. Moderate, bilateral pulmonary edema was observed in the NS and HS-HES groups. The three treatment groups showed similar reductions in oxygenation. Static pulmonary compliance was diminished in the NS and HS-HES groups, but compliance was similar in NOREPI and control groups. The NOREPI group had pathological lactate levels. Conclusions: This study demonstrated the impact of fluid resuscitation on contused lungs. Twenty hours after the trauma, all three resuscitation approaches showed modest clinical consequences, with moderate lung edema and reduced compliance in response to the infused volume.

AB The complexity of nanomaterials themselves as well as the enabling nature of nanotechnology in general results in significant difficulties in defining and measuring sustainability associated with emerging materials and products. Defining metrics of environmental, societal, and economic impacts and integrating them into a multi-criteria decision analysis model is one way to assess the sustainability of nanoproducts and processes through an application-focused top-down approach. Given the current high level of uncertainty in many aspects of nanotechnology and the unknown trajectory of a field still in its infancy, it is important to teach nanotechnology in a contextual setting where discussions of uncertainty and variability are strongly encouraged. Sustainability should be linked to technology management processes to capture evolving technology and understanding of its benefits and risks. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

AB Background: The majority of modern war wounds are characterized by high-energy blast injuries containing a wide range of retained foreign materials of a metallic or composite nature. Health effects of retained fragments range from local or systemic toxicities to foreign body reactions or malignancies, and dependent on the chemical composition and corrosiveness of the fragments in vivo. Information obtained by chemical analysis of excised fragments can be used to guide clinical decisions regarding the need for fragment removal, to develop therapeutic interventions, and to better anticipate future medical problems from retained fragment related injuries. In response to this need, a new U. S Department of Defense (DoD) directive has been issued requiring characterization of all removed fragments to provide a database of fragment types occurring in combat injuries. Objectives: The objective of this study is to determine the chemical composition of retained embedded fragments removed from injured military personnel, and to relate results to histological findings in tissue adjacent to fragment material. Methods: We describe an approach for the chemical analysis and characterization of retained fragments and adjacent tissues, and include case examples describing fragments containing depleted uranium (DU), tungsten (W), lead (Pb), and non-metal foreign bodies composed of natural and composite materials. Fragments obtained from four patients with penetrating blast wounds to the limbs were studied employing a wide range of chemical and microscopy techniques. Available adjacent tissues from three of the cases were histologically, microscopically, and chemically examined. The physical and compositional properties of the removed foreign material surfaces were examined with energy dispersive x-ray fluorescence spectrometry (EDXRF), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), laser ablation inductively-coupled plasma mass-spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS), and confocal laser Raman microspectroscopy (CLRM). Quantitative chemical analysis of both fragments and available tissues was conducted employing ICP-MS. Results: Over 800 fragments have been characterized and included as part of the Joint Pathology Center Embedded Fragment Registry. Most fragments were obtained from penetrating wounds sustained to the extremities, particularly soft tissue injuries. The majority of the fragments were primarily composed of a single metal such as iron, copper, or aluminum with traces of antimony, titanium, uranium, and lead. One case demonstrated tungsten in both the fragment and the connected tissue, together with lead. Capsular tissue and fragments from a case from the 1991 Kuwait conflict showed evidence of uranium that was further characterized by uranium isotopic ratios analysis to contain depleted uranium. Conclusions: The present study provides a systematic approach for obtaining a full chemical characterization of retained embedded fragments. Given the vast number of combat casualties with retained fragments, it is expected that fragment analysis will have significant implications for the optimal short and long-term care of wounded service members.

AB During group marches, soldiers must walk in step with one another at the same imposed cadence. The literature suggests that shorter trainees may be more susceptible to injury due to overstriding that can occur when taller recruits dictate marching cadence. This study assessed the effects of fixed cadence simulated marching at cadences above and below preferred step rate (PSR) on lower extremity joint mechanics in individuals who were unaccustomed to marching. During three separate visits, 13 volunteers walked with a 20 kg load on a force-sensing treadmill at self-selected PSR, PSR+15% (shorter strides), and PSR-15% (longer strides) at 1.3 m/s for 60 mm. Two-way RM ANOVAs (cadence by time) were performed during the stance phase. Ranges of motion and anteroposterior ground reaction force increased significantly as cadence decreased (P < .03). Knee extension moment increased slightly when step rate decreased from PSR+15% (shortest strides, 0.85 +/- 0.2 N m/kg) to PSR (0.87 +/- 0.3 N m/kg, 3% increase); however, this increase was substantially greater (20% increase) when cadence was decreased from PSR to PSR-15% (longest strides, 1.09 +/- 0.3 N m/kg). Our results indicate that overstriding during fixed-cadence marching is a factor that can substantially increase mechanical stress on lower extremity joints.

AB Infectious diseases are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, accounting for approximately 50% of all deaths in tropical countries and as much as 20% of deaths in the USA. The emergence of multi- drug resistant (MDR) strains makes the risk of these infections even more threatening and an important public health problem thereby increasing need of new agents for fighting pathogens. In this review, the remarkable antibacterial properties possessed by various snake venoms (Crotalide, Elapidae, and Viperidae families) were discussed and in particular phospholipase A(2)s ( PLA(2)s) that have emerged from various studies as potential in the last few years. Group IIA PLA2s are the most potent among the snake venom (sv) PLA2s against various types of bacteria. Further, antibacterial derivatives from PLA2s, e. g. peptides derived from the C- terminal sequence of Lys49- PLA2s (amino acids 115- 129), kill bacteria and cause severe membrane- damaging effects. Mechanisms of binding to the bacterial surface and subsequent killing by peptides are based on positive charge, hydrophobicity, and length. These peptide candidates are easy to design and synthesize in pure form (similar to 95% purity). Such peptides may be potentially useful in the clinic as new antimicrobials for combating infections due to antibiotic- resistant bacteria that include methicillin- resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin- resistant Enterococcus in the near future.

AB This paper addresses epitaxial integration of magnetic materials with Si (1 0 0) based solid state devices. Epitaxial Ni82.5Fe17.5 (permalloy, Py) thin films have been synthesized by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) on Si (1 0 0) using MgO/TiN as a template buffer. This epitaxial growth of these large lattice misfit systems was achieved through domain matching epitaxy (DME). The in-plane XRD pattern and selective area electron diffraction (SAED) results clearly indicate cube-on-cube epitaxial alignment. The bright field TEM image of Py/MgO/TiN/Si (1 0 0) heterostructure infers a Py layer thickness of similar to 30 nm, with a well aligned island (150-200 nm) structure that is consistent with Volmer-Weber type growth. Magnetization data collected at 4 K and 300 K indicates that the easy axis of the magnetization lies in the plane of the Py. In addition, we have observed an intrinsic positive exchange bias (PEB) field of similar to 104 Oe, where the magnetic hysteresis loop is shifted toward the positive field axis under zero field cooling conditions.

AB Introduction: One of the more serious adverse outcomes of military airborne operations is closed-head injuries. This investigation examined risk factors for closed-head injuries in an Army airborne infantry unit. Methods: Closed-head injuries were defined as energy exchanges in which the head contacted the ground or an object and the soldier sought medical care for external trauma, headache, loss of consciousness, or altered mental state. Injury data were obtained by investigators in the drop zone and diagnoses were confirmed by a physician. Operational data on potential injury risk factors were obtained from routine reports published by the infantry unit. Weather data were obtained using a pocket weather tracker. Results: There were 96,132 jumps resulting in 310 closed-head injuries for a crude incidence of 3.22/1000 jumps. In 98% of known cases the injury was associated with parachute landings. Multivariate logistic regression revealed that independent risk factors for closed-head injuries included night jumps, combat loads, higher wind speeds, higher temperatures, enlisted rank, and entanglements. Conclusions: This study identifies the current incidence and extrinsic risk factors for closed-head injuries during military airborne operations. Although it is necessary to conduct airborne training under realistic conditions, trainers and commanders should be aware of these risks and plan airborne operations accordingly.

TI Tactile Cues in Continuous Operations: A Preliminary Study
SO AVIATION SPACE AND ENVIRONMENTAL MEDICINE
LA English
DT Article
DE tactile cuing; habituation; adaptation
AB Introduction: Research has shown that tactile displays are an effective tool for augmenting spatial orientation and situation awareness information provided to aircraft operators. The tactile situation awareness system (TSAS) has been shown to improve flight performance in conditions of degraded visual environments and to safely maintain performance during hover over moving targets. The potential for the user to adapt and habituate to the stimulus of tactile display systems has not yet been investigated. Methods: Four UH-60 current, rated aviators (all male) participated in the pilot study. Subjects completed four consecutive iterations of a 3-h flight profile consisting of 10 maneuvers, totaling 12 h of continuous flight. Flight performance, tactor information, responses to a discomfort questionnaire, and ratings of fatigue symptoms were recorded. Results: The independent variable in all analyses was session (four levels). The results showed that performance per maneuver and proportion of stimulus cues (measure of response to cues) per maneuver were consistent across sessions using independent-samples Kruskal-Wallis tests. Discussion: The findings of this preliminary assessment support the use of tactile displays (consistent with parameters of TSAS) in continuous operations since performance and proportion of stimulus cues presented was consistent over a period of 12 h. In conclusion, the system will require further experimental testing, but these preliminary findings do not suggest performance or response to be affected by any adaptation or habituation to the stimulus.

AB Rapid pathogen detection is crucial for the timely introduction of therapeutics. Two groups (one in the United Kingdom and one in the United States) independently evaluated inhibitor-resistant PCR reagents for the direct testing of substrates. In the United Kingdom, a multiplexed Bacillus anthracis (target) and Bacillus subtilis (internal-control) PCR was used to evaluate 4 reagents against 5 PCR inhibitors and down-selected the TaqMan Fast Virus 1-Step master mix (Life Technologies Inc.). In the United States, four real-time PCR assays (targeting B. anthracis, Brucella melitensis, Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus [VEEV], and Orthopoxvirus spp.) were used to evaluate 5 reagents (plus the Fast Virus master mix) against buffer, blood, and soil samples and down-selected the KAPA Blood Direct master mix (KAPA Biosystems Inc.) with added Platinum Taq (Life Technologies). The down-selected reagents underwent further testing. In the United Kingdom experiments, both reagents were tested against seven contrived aerosol collector samples containing B. anthracis Ames DNA and B. subtilis spores from a commercial formulation (BioBall). In PCR assays with reaction mixtures containing 40% crude sample, an airfield-collected sample induced inhibition of the B. subtilis PCR with the KAPA reagent and complete failure of both PCRs with the Fast Virus reagent. However, both reagents allowed successful PCR for all other samples-which inhibited PCRs with a non-inhibitor-resistant reagent. In the United States, a cross-assay limit-of-detection (LoD) study in blood was conducted. The KAPA Blood Direct reagent allowed the detection of agent DNA (by four PCRs) at higher concentrations of blood in the reaction mixture (2.5%) than the Fast Virus reagent (0.5%), although LoDs differed between assays and reagent combinations. Across both groups, the KAPA Blood Direct reagent was determined to be the optimal reagent for inhibition relief in PCR.

AB BackgroundRecent studies suggest that assessment of threat-related attention bias may be useful in identifying soldiers at risk for clinical symptoms. The present study assessed the degree to which soldiers experienced combat events and showed attentional threat avoidance affected their reported levels of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and anxiety symptoms.
   MethodsFour months after a combat deployment to Iraq, 63 US soldiers completed a survey assessing combat exposures and clinical symptoms as well as a dot-probe task assessing threat-related attention bias.
   ResultsSignificant three-way interactions regressing threat reaction times (RTs), neutral RTs, and combat exposure on PTSD and anxiety symptoms were observed. Specifically, soldiers with high levels of combat exposure, who were more likely to demonstrate attentional bias away from threat, were also more symptomatic.
   ConclusionThese results demonstrate the potential of threat-related attention bias as a behavioral marker of PTSD and anxiety symptoms in a high-risk military occupational context. Published 2013.

AB Although often eagerly anticipated, reunication after deployment poses challenges for families, including adjusting to the parent-soldier's return, re-establishing roles and routines, and the potentially necessary accommodation to combat-related injuries or psychological effects. Fourteen male service members, previously deployed to a combat zone, parent to at least one child under seven years of age, were interviewed about their relationships with their young children. Principles of grounded theory guided data analysis to identify key themes related to parenting young children after deployment. Participants reported significant levels of parenting stress and identified specific challenges, including difficulty reconnecting with children, adapting expectations from military to family life, and coparenting. Fathers acknowledged regret about missing an important period in their child's development and indicated a strong desire to improve their parenting skills. They described a need for support in expressing emotions, nurturing, and managing their tempers. Results affirm the need for support to military families during reintegration and demonstrate that military fathers are receptive to opportunities to engage in parenting interventions. Helping fathers understand their children's behavior in the context of age-typical responses to separation and reunion may help them to renew parent-child relationships and reengage in optimal parenting of their young children.

AB Strengthening reinforced concrete slab or wall structural elements with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) can improve their blast resistance. However, close-in blasts (blasts with a scaled range of less than 0.4m/kg1/3) may undermine the effectiveness of the CFRP strengthening. This paper presents an experimental testing program on CFRP-strengthened reinforced concrete slab specimens that utilized fiber anchors. Two CFRP mitigation designs were tested under blast loads with a scaled range of 0.4 and 0.6m/kg1/3. Tests on unmitigated reinforced concrete slab specimens provided baseline comparisons. The experimental results showed that the use of CFRP strengthening improved the blast resistance of reinforced concrete slab specimens. For a larger scaled range, 0.6m/kg1/3, the CFRP successfully prevented flying debris and reduced the overall deflections of the slab specimens. However, for the closer scaled range, 0.4m/kg1/3, the high shock blast pressures shattered the concrete through the thickness of the slab specimen and tore through the back-face CFRP. However, back-face velocity and overall deflections were reduced by about 75% compared to the baseline test slab specimen.

AB Dissipative particle dynamics was used to predict the morphology and mechanical properties of unentangled linear ABC triblock copolymer gels, where the midblock is solvophilic. By varying the A, B, and C fraction in the triblock, we observe a variety of multicomponent micelles in addition to singular A and C micelles. These multicomponent micelles include sphere-on-sphere micelles, multi-sphere-on-sphere, worm-like micelles, and branched micelles. Simulation cells were also subjected to deformation under uni-axial tension, and correlated to the extent of macrophase separation. Values of elastic modulus were also extracted from the calculated stress using the theory of linear elasticity. Extracted values of the modulus are shown to scale inversely with the midblock length which agrees with other theoretical predictions.

AB The rat has been used extensively as a model for evaluating chemical toxicities and for understanding drug mechanisms. However, its transcriptome across multiple organs, or developmental stages, has not yet been reported. Here we show, as part of the SEQC consortium efforts, a comprehensive rat transcriptomic BodyMap created by performing RNA-Seq on 320 samples from 11 organs of both sexes of juvenile, adolescent, adult and aged Fischer 344 rats. We catalogue the expression profiles of 40,064 genes, 65,167 transcripts, 31,909 alternatively spliced transcript variants and 2,367 non-coding genes/non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) annotated in AceView. We find that organ-enriched, differentially expressed genes reflect the known organ-specific biological activities. A large number of transcripts show organ-specific, age-dependent or sex-specific differential expression patterns. We create a web-based, open-access rat BodyMap database of expression profiles with crosslinks to other widely used databases, anticipating that it will serve as a primary resource for biomedical research using the rat model.

AB Background: Given the substantial improvements in cancer screening and cancer treatment in the United States, millions of adult cancer survivors live for years following their initial cancer diagnosis and treatment. However, latent side effects can occur and some symptoms can be alleviated or managed effectively via changes in lifestyle behaviors.
   Objective: The purpose of this study was to test the effectiveness of a six-week Web-based multiple health behavior change program for adult survivors.
   Methods: Participants (n=352) were recruited from oncology clinics, a tumor registry, as well as through online mechanisms, such as Facebook and the Association of Cancer Online Resources (ACOR). Cancer survivors were eligible if they had completed their primary cancer treatment from 4 weeks to 5 years before enrollment. Participants were randomly assigned to the Web-based program or a delayed-treatment control condition.
   Results: In total, 303 survivors completed the follow-up survey (six months after completion of the baseline survey) and participants in the Web-based intervention condition had significantly greater reductions in insomnia and greater increases in minutes per week of vigorous exercise and stretching compared to controls. There were no significant changes in fruit and vegetable consumption or other outcomes.
   Conclusions: The Web-based intervention impacted insomnia and exercise; however, a majority of the sample met or exceeded national recommendations for health behaviors and were not suffering from depression or fatigue at baseline. Thus, the survivors were very healthy and well-adjusted upon entry and their ability to make substantial health behavior changes may have been limited. Future work is discussed, with emphasis placed on ways in which Web-based interventions can be more specifically analyzed for benefit, such as in regard to social networking.

AB The military uses JP-8, a kerosene type hydrocarbon, to fuel most of its vehicles and is seeking a renewable alternative fuel that meets strict JP-8 specifications. Biodiesel is typically a mixture of different alkyl esters produced from the transesterification of triglycerides readily available in plant oils and used cooking oil. To date, no traditional biodiesel meets the requirements for heat of combustion, freezing point, viscosity and oxidative stability to be a stand-alone replacement for JP-8. This work is a fundamental survey of the heat of combustion of single fatty acid esters and a predictive model for estimating the heat of combustion given a known molecular structure. The gross heat of combustion of various C6-C18 fatty acids and the methyl, propyl and isopropyl esters of these fatty acids was measured. This study sought to relate the effect of chain length, degree of unsaturation and branching to the critical fuel property of the gross heat of combustion (H-c). It was found that H-c (kJ/g) increased with chain length. A nearly linear relationship was found between wt% carbon and hydrogen, and H-c. Group contribution models previously published for hydrocarbons and polymers were modified to more accurately predict the heat of combustion of the fatty acids and esters. Modification of the molar heat values of carboxylic acid, methyl, and methylene groups improved correlation of the model with the experimental results.

AB Genetic factors such as decreased genetic diversity and increased homozygosity can have detrimental effects on rare species, and may ultimately limit potential adaptation and exacerbate population declines. The Gulf and Atlantic Coastal Plain physiographic region has the second highest level of endemism in the continental USA, but habitat fragmentation and land use changes have resulted in catastrophic population declines for many species. Astragalus michauxii (Fabaceae) is an herbaceous plant endemic to the region that is considered vulnerable to extinction, with populations generally consisting of fewer than 20 individuals. We developed eight polymorphic microsatellites and genotyped 355 individuals from 24 populations. We characterized the population genetic diversity and structure, tested for evidence of past bottlenecks, and identified evidence of contemporary gene flow between populations. The mean ratios of the number of alleles to the allelic range (M ratio) across loci for A. michauxii populations were well below the threshold of 0.68 identified as indicative of a past genetic bottleneck. Genetic diversity estimates were similar across regions and populations, and comparable to other long-lived perennial species. Within-population genetic variation accounted for 92 % of the total genetic variation found in the species. Finally, there is evidence for contemporary gene flow among the populations in North Carolina. Although genetic factors can threaten rare species, maintaining habitats through prescribed burning, in concert with other interventions such as population augmentation or (re)introduction, are likely most critical to the long term survival of A. michauxii.

AB Objective Valnoctamide (VCD), a central nervous system (CNS)-active chiral constitutional isomer of valpromide, the corresponding amide of valproic acid (VPA), is currently undergoing phase IIb clinical trials in acute mania. VCD exhibits stereoselective pharmacokinetics (PK) in animals and humans. The current study comparatively evaluated the pharmacodynamics (PD; anticonvulsant activity and teratogenicity) and PK of the four individual stereoisomers of VCD. Methods The anticonvulsant activity of VCD individual stereoisomers was evaluated in several rodent anticonvulsant models including maximal electroshock, 6Hz psychomotor, subcutaneous metrazol, and the pilocarpine-induced and soman-induced status epilepticus (SE). The PK-PD (anticonvulsant activity) relationship of VCD stereoisomers was evaluated following intraperitoneal administration (70mg/kg) to rats. Induction of neural tube defects (NTDs) by VCD stereoisomers was evaluated in a mouse strain that was highly susceptible to teratogen-induced NTDs. Results VCD had a stereoselective PK, with (2S,3S)-VCD exhibiting the lowest clearance, and consequently a twice-higher plasma exposure than all other stereoisomers. Nervertheless, there was less stereoselectivity in VCD anticonvulsant activity and each stereoisomer had similar median effective dose (ED)(50) values in most models. VCD stereoisomers (258 or 389mg/kg) did not cause NTDs. These doses are 3-12 times higher than VCD anticonvulsant ED50 values. Significance VCD displayed stereoselective PK that did not lead to significant stereoselective activity in various anticonvulsant rodent models. If VCD exerted its broad-spectrum anticonvulsant activity using a single mechanism of action (MOA), it is likely that it would exhibit a stereoselective PD. The fact that there was no significant difference between racemic VCD and its individual stereoisomers suggests that VCD's anticonvulsant activity is due to multiple MOAs.

AB Process-based hydrologic models require extensive meteorological forcing data, including data on precipitation, temperature, shortwave and longwave radiation, humidity, surface pressure, and wind speed. Observations of precipitation and temperature are more common than other variables; consequently, radiation, humidity, pressure, and wind speed often must be either estimated using empirical relationships with precipitation and temperature or obtained from numerical weather prediction models. This study examines two climate forcing datasets using different methods to estimate radiative energy fluxes and humidity and investigates the effects of the choice of forcing data on hydrologic simulations over the mountainous upper Colorado River basin (293 472 km(2)). Comparisons of model simulations forced by two climate datasets illustrate that the methods used to estimate shortwave radiation impact hydrologic states and fluxes, particularly at high elevation (e.g., ~20% difference in runoff above 3000-m elevation), substantially altering the timing of snowmelt and runoff (~20 days difference) and the partitioning of precipitation between evapotranspiration and runoff. The different forcing datasets also exhibit differences in hydrologic sensitivity to interannual temperature at high elevation. The results suggest that the choice of forcing dataset is an important consideration when conducting climate impact assessments and the subsequent applications of these assessments for water resources planning and management.

AB Palytoxin ranks among the most potent marine biotoxins. Its lethality was well known to native Hawaiians that used to smear a "moss"containing the toxin on their spears to cause instant death to their victims. Human intoxications due to exposure to palytoxin and to its many congeners have been reported worldwide. Currently, palytoxins constitute the main threat to public health across the Mediterranean Sea. In the present work we report on the isolation and stereostructural determination of a new palytoxin analogue from a Hawaiian Palythoa tuberculosa sample. This new toxin is a stereoisomer of 42-hydroxypalytoxin isolated from Palythoa toxica. The whole absolute configuration of this latter toxin is also reported in the paper. Interestingly, the two 42-hydroxypalytoxins do not share the same biological activity. The stereoisomer from P. tuberculosa showed cytotoxicity toward skin. HaCaT keratinocytes approximately 1 order of magnitude lower than that of 42-hydroxypalytoxin from P. toxica and about 2 orders of magnitude lower than that of palytoxin itself. This finding holds the prospect of interesting structure-activity relationship evaluations in the future.

AB Previous studies have shown that combat exposures and deployment-related stressors have negative implications on soldiers' postdeployment health and well-being. The current study aimed to examine the individual and combined effects of organizational and social support on the success of soldiers' postdeployment reintegration. In this study, 2,922 U.S. soldiers were surveyed from a brigade combat team at 90-120 days postdeployment, measuring soldiers' perceptions of postdeployment transition home, occupational and social support, stigma and barriers associated with accessing behavioral health care, and previous behavioral health care. Logistic regression analysis indicated that soldiers reporting a positive postdeployment transition home (n= 1,776; 61%) was significantly associated with leadership perceptions, adjusted odds ratio (AOR)= 1.19, 95% confidence interval (CI) [1.02, 1.39], unit cohesion, AOR= 1.29, 95% CI [1.09, 1.53], personal support, AOR= 1.37, 95% CI [1.23, 1.52], perceived levels of stigma, AOR= 0.73, 95% CI [0.65, 0.82] barriers to accessing care, AOR= 0.86, 95% CI [0.76, 0.97], and previously accessing behavioral health care, AOR= 0.34, 95% CI [0.28, 0.43]. These findings suggest redeploying soldiers may benefit from programs aimed at improving self-efficacy and coping through fostering occupational and social support, with special concern taken to reduce stigma and barriers to care across the Army.

AB This follow-up pilot study tested whether Transcendental Meditation (R) (TM) practice would significantly reduce symptoms of posttraumatic stress in Congolese refugees within 10days after instruction. The Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist-Civilian (PCL-C) was administered to nonmatched waitlist controls from a previous study 3 times over a 90-day period. Within 8days of the third baseline measure, 11 refugees were taught TM, then retested 10days and 30days after instruction. Average PCL-C scores dropped 29.9 points from 77.9 to 48.0 in 10days, then dropped another 12.7 points to 35.3 at 30days. Effect size at 10days was high (d = 4.05). There were no adverse events. All participants completed the study and were able to practice TM.

TI Automated Detection and Tracking of Adult Pacific Lampreys in Underwater
   Video Collected at Snake and Columbia River Fishways
SO NORTH AMERICAN JOURNAL OF FISHERIES MANAGEMENT
LA English
DT Article
AB To reduce staffing demands and enhance observational accuracy, we designed, implemented, and tested a computerized system for processing underwater video clips captured by static cameras and removing quiet frames in which no activity is detected. When the system detects activity, it tracks and counts the moving object. The implementation uses an adaptive background-subtraction algorithm for detection and motion prediction for tracking. The system can be used to reduce the amount of video that must be reviewed by personnel, and it can produce total fish passage counts through the monitored area. The automated system reduced the total number of video hours requiring review by an average of 87.5% for count window videos and 83.5% for videos of picketed leads and lamprey passage orifices. The software detected 98.6% of the 144 Pacific Lampreys Entosphenus tridentatus that were observed in 185h of raw video. Because the system is fully automated, monitoring requirements are negligible, and the cost reduction for fish monitoring is proportional to the number of quiet frames removed.

AB The genus Orthopoxviridae contains a diverse group of human pathogens including monkeypox, smallpox and vaccinia. These viruses are presumed to be less dependent on host functions than other DNA viruses because they have large genomes and replicate in the cytoplasm, but a detailed understanding of the host factors required by orthopoxviruses is lacking. To address this topic, we performed an unbiased, genome-wide pooled RNAi screen targeting over 17,000 human genes to identify the host factors that support orthopoxvirus infection. We used secondary and tertiary assays to validate our screen results. One of the strongest hits was heat shock factor 1 (HSF1), the ancient master regulator of the cytoprotective heat-shock response. In investigating the behavior of HSF1 during vaccinia infection, we found that HSF1 was phosphorylated, translocated to the nucleus, and increased transcription of HSF1 target genes. Activation of HSF1 was supportive for virus replication, as RNAi knockdown and HSF1 small molecule inhibition prevented orthopoxvirus infection. Consistent with its role as a transcriptional activator, inhibition of several HSF1 targets also blocked vaccinia virus replication. These data show that orthopoxviruses co-opt host transcriptional responses for their own benefit, thereby effectively extending their functional genome to include genes residing within the host DNA. The dependence on HSF1 and its chaperone network offers multiple opportunities for antiviral drug development.
   Author Summary Orthopoxviruses bring in many of the factors they need for replication and impair the host cell by preventing the expression of host proteins. Although orthopoxviruses are less reliant on the host than some viruses, host factors are still required for infection. Here, we report results from two genome-scale approaches that identify host proteins used by orthopoxviruses during infection. These approaches showed that the master regulator of the heat shock response, heat shock factor 1 (HSF1), is a critical host factor for orthopoxvirus replication. HSF1-regulated genes are some of the only host genes with expression maintained or increased following virus infection. Our studies show that orthopoxviruses enter the cell and activate a host transcription pathway as part of its own replication process. These proteins are then utilized by the virus during infection and packaged into the virion, essentially extending the viral genome to include genes co-opted from the host nuclear DNA. This is supported by the existence of heat shock proteins in the viral genome of non-orthopoxvirus genera. We further show that small-molecule inhibitors of HSF1 and HSF1-transcribed genes are effective inhibitors of orthopoxvirus replication, suggesting a new avenue for antiviral development.

ID ANION-EXCHANGE MEMBRANES; POLYMER; CATALYSTS
AB Anion exchange membranes have substantial potential to be useful in methanol fuel cells due to the viability of non-noble metal electrocatalysts at high pH and increases in the oxidation rate of methanol in alkaline conditions. However, long-term stability of the cationic moiety has been an issue, and imidazoliums have recently attracted attention as candidates for stable cations. The prevailing strategy for increasing the stability of the imidazolium has involved adding sterically hindering groups at the 2 position. Surprisingly, the findings of this study show that steric hindrance is the least effective strategy for stabilizing imidazoliums. We propose that the most important stabilizing factor for an imidazolium is the ability to provide alternative, reversible deprotonation reactions with hydroxide and outline other structure-property relationships for imidazolium cations.

AB Global warming may result in substantial sea level rise and more intense hurricanes over the next century, leading to more severe coastal flooding. Here, observed climate and sea level trends over the last century (c. 1900s to 2000s) are used to provide insight regarding future coastal inundation trends. The actual impacts of Hurricane Katrina (2005) in New Orleans are compared with the impacts of a similar hypothetical hurricane occurring c. 1900. Estimated regional sea level rise since 1900 of 0.75 m, which contains a dominant land subsidence contribution (0.57 m), serves as a 'prototype' for future climate-change induced sea level rise in other regions. Landform conditions c. 1900 were estimated by changing frictional resistance based on expected additional wetlands at lower sea levels. Surge simulations suggest that flood elevations would have been 15 to 60 % lower c. 1900 than the conditions observed in 2005. This drastic change suggests that significantly more flood damage occurred in 2005 than would have occurred if sea level and climate conditions had been like those c. 1900. We further show that, in New Orleans, sea level rise dominates surge-induced flooding changes, not only by increasing mean sea level, but also by leading to decreased wetland area. Together, these effects enable larger surges. Projecting forward, future global sea level changes of the magnitude examined here are expected to lead to increased flooding in coastal regions, even if the storm climate is unchanged. Such flooding increases in densely populated areas would presumably lead to more widespread destruction.

AB In an ad hoc cognitive radio network, secondary users access channels temporarily unused by primary users, and the existence of a communication link between two secondary users depends on the transmitting and receiving activities of nearby primary users. Using theories and techniques from continuum percolation and ergodicity, we analytically characterize the connectivity of the secondary network defined in terms of the almost sure finiteness of the multihop delay, and show the occurrence of a phase transition phenomenon while studying the impact of the temporal dynamics of the primary traffic on the connectivity of the secondary network. Specifically, as long as the primary traffic has some temporal dynamics caused by either mobility and/or changes in traffic load and pattern, the connectivity of the secondary network depends solely on its own density and is independent of the primary traffic; otherwise, the connectivity of the secondary network requires putting a density-dependent cap on the primary traffic load. We show that the scaling behavior of the multihop delay depends critically on whether or not the secondary network is instantaneously connected. In particular, we establish the scaling law of the minimum multihop delay with respect to the source-destination distance when the propagation delay is negligible.

ID ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION SENSORS; UNEXPLODED ORDNANCE; IDENTIFICATION
AB The Pedemis sensor is a newly designed electromagnetic induction sensor that exhibits the unique characteristics of: 1) being able to physically decouple its transmitter and receiver modules and 2) offering the possibility of dynamically selecting various data acquisition modes (individual selection of transmitters and selection of data acquisition time for shallow/deep target interrogation). Such flexibility is expected to be instrumental in non-trivial terrains exhibiting either an abundant vegetation or being highly contaminated by large or dense clutter. Before validating the sensor in such challenging configurations, however, the Pedemis was taken to Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD, for its first test site validation. This letter presents the protocol adopted for data acquisition as well as inversion results on typical targets, including inversion of semi-synthetic data with up to five simultaneous targets.

AB PURPOSE. We qualitatively describe the anatomic features of primary blast ocular injury observed using a postmortem porcine eye model. Porcine eyes were exposed to various levels of blast energy to determine the optimal conditions for future testing.
   METHODS. We studied 53 enucleated porcine eyes: 13 controls and 40 exposed to a range of primary blast energy levels. Eyes were preassessed with B- scan and ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) ultrasonography, photographed, mounted in gelatin within acrylic orbits, and monitored with high- speed videography during blast- tube impulse exposure. Postimpact photography, ultrasonography, and histopathology were performed, and ocular damage was assessed.
   RESULTS. Evidence for primary blast injury was obtained. While some of the same damage was observed in the control eyes, the incidence and severity of this damage in exposed eyes increased with impulse and peak pressure, suggesting that primary blast exacerbated these injuries. Common findings included angle recession, internal scleral delamination, cyclodialysis, peripheral chorioretinal detachments, and radial peripapillary retinal detachments. No full-thickness openings of the eyewall were observed in any of the eyes tested. Scleral damage demonstrated the strongest associative tendency for increasing likelihood of injury with increased overpressure.
   CONCLUSIONS. These data provide evidence that primary blast alone (in the absence of particle impact) can produce clinically relevant ocular damage in a postmortem model. The blast parameters derived from this study are being used currently in an in vivo model. We also propose a new Cumulative Injury Score indicating the clinical relevance of observed injuries.

TI Corrosion-Resistant Steel Fixtures for Masonry Walls in Military

SO MATERIALS PERFORMANCE
LA English
DT Article
AB The most common steel fixtures used in hollow-core masonry walls are wall ties that attach the brick veneer wall (outer wythe) to a concrete masonry wall or steel or wooden joists behind the wall. These fittings prevent wind pressure from deflecting the outer wythe, typically clay brick. Corrosion of the wall tie in the mortar can crack the mortar and weaken the wall. Corrosion of the wall tie or the bracket in the cavity between the wythes can detach the inner and outer components and make the outer wall vulnerable to wind damage. Tests of a new coating system for wall ties is underway at Fort Stewart, Georgia, and inspections of specially constructed wall sections and exposure tests conducted on the ties indicate that the vitreous enamel coating performs satisfactorily.

TI Limiting Corrosion Problems Related to Dust-Control Agents
SO MATERIALS PERFORMANCE
LA English
DT Article
AB A wide variety of materials have typically been available to prevent the production of dust from unpaved surfaces. Dust-control agents mixed with fine soil can remain on metal surfaces on and under vehicles and aircraft and in some cases can greatly accelerate corrosion. Tests with potassium lactobionate (K-LB) solutions showed that the compound was an effective retardant and could reduce the rate of corrosion to similar to 25% of the corrosion rate of the water-soil control, reducing corrosion rates below that seen with lactobionic acid. Research indicates that effective dust control can be produced with far less corrosion if organic humectants are used.

AB A new third term is incorporated within the multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient in the context of geometrically non-linear mechanics of defective elastic-plastic crystals. This enhanced description, when applied to an element of material of finite volume, accounts explicitly for average local residual lattice distortion due to defects within that volume. The magnitude of the distortion from this third term, determined analytically for an elastic cylindrical volume of outer radius R containing a single dislocation line threading its centre, is estimated as {[b/(pi R)](2) + f(2) + g(2)}(1/2), where b is Burgers vector magnitude, f accounts for elastic non-linearity, and g accounts for core effects. For a straight screw dislocation in a third-order isotropic elastic medium, at a dislocation density of 10 per cent of theoretical maximum, b/(pi R) is on the order of 0.1, f on the order of 0.01 and g is proportional to pressure exerted by the core and can be significant. Predictions of stresses and dislocation density under simple shear and uniaxial compression demonstrate differences from those of usual crystal plasticity at large strain and for high hardening. Besides offering a natural and precise delineation of contributions from dislocation velocity and dislocation generation to irreversible deformation, the three-term model allows for residual elastic strains-including dilatation observed in experiments and atomic simulations-not addressed by conventional two-term crystal plasticity.

AB Injuries to the limb are the most frequent cause of permanent disability following combat wounds. We reviewed the medical records of 450 soldiers to determine the type of upper limb nerve injuries sustained, the rate of remaining motor and sensory deficits at final follow-up, and the type of Army disability ratings granted. Of 189 soldiers with an injury of the upper limb, 70 had nerve-related trauma. There were 62 men and eight women with a mean age of 25 years (18 to 49). Disabilities due to nerve injuries were associated with loss of function, neuropathic pain or both. The mean nerve-related disability was 26% (0% to 70%), accounting for over one-half of this cohort's cumulative disability. Patients injured in an explosion had higher disability ratings than those injured by gunshot. The ulnar nerve was most commonly injured, but most disability was associated with radial nerve trauma. In terms of the final outcome, at military discharge 59 subjects (84%) experienced persistent weakness, 48 (69%) had a persistent sensory deficit and 17 (24%) experienced chronic pain from scar-related or neuropathic pain. Nerve injury was the cause of frequent and substantial disability in our cohort of wounded soldiers.

AB Large sediment diversions are proposed and expected to build new wetlands to alleviate the extensive wetland loss (5000 km(2)) affecting coastal Louisiana during the last 78 years. Current assessment and prediction of the impacts of sediment diversions have focused on the capture and dispersal of both water and sediment on the adjacent river side and the immediate outfall marsh area. However, little is known about the effects of sediment diversions on existing wetland surface elevation and vertical accretion dynamics in the receiving basin at the landscape scale. In this study, we used a spatial wetland surface elevation model developed in support of Louisiana's 2012 Coastal Master Plan to examine such landscape-scale effects of sediment diversions. Multiple sediment diversion projects were incorporated in the model to simulate surface elevation and vertical accretion for the next 50 years (2010-2060) under two environmental (moderate and less optimistic) scenarios. Specifically, we examined landscape-scale surface elevation and vertical accretion trends under diversions with different geographical locations, diverted discharge rates, and geomorphic characteristics of the receiving basin. Model results indicate that small diversions (<283 m(3) s(-1)) tend to have limited effects of reducing landscape-scale elevation loss (<3%) compared to a future without action (FWOA) condition. Large sediment diversions (>1500 m(3) s(-1)) are required to achieve landscape-level benefits to promote surface elevation via vertical accretion to keep pace with rising sea level.

AB We introduce an algorithm of morphological filters and propose its use to classic polarization metrics for applications requiring passive longwave-infrared, polarimetric remote sensing and real-time anomaly detection. The approach significantly augments the daytime and nighttime detectability of weak-signal manmade objects immersed in a predominant natural background scene. A tailored sequence of signal-enhancing filters is featured, consisting of basic and higher level morphological operators to achieve a desired goal. Qualitatively, the goal is to effectively squeeze the variance of pixel values representing the natural clutter background, while simultaneously spreading the pixel variance within the manmade object class and separating the pixel mean averages between the two classes of objects. Using real data, the approach persistently detected with a high confidence level three mobile military howitzer surrogates (targets) from natural clutter, during a 72-h coverage. Targets were posed at three aspect angles (range 557 m), yielding a negligible false alarm rate. Performance was invariant to diurnal cycle and mild atmospheric changes.

AB Lower body negative pressure (LBNP), a model of hemorrhage (Hem), shifts blood to the legs and elicits central hypovolemia. This study compared responses to LBNP and actual Hem in sedated baboons. Arterial pressure, pulse pressure (PP), central venous pressure (CVP), heart rate, stroke volume (SV), and +dP/dt were measured. Hem steps were 6.25%, 12.5%, 18.75%, and 25% of total estimated blood volume. Shed blood was returned, and 4 wk after Hem, the same animals were subjected to four LBNP levels which elicited equivalent changes in PP and CVP observed during Hem. Blood gases, hematocrit (Hct), hemoglobin (Hb), plasma renin activity (PRA), vasopressin (AVP), epinephrine (EPI), and norepinephrine (NE) were measured at baseline and maximum Hem or LBNP. LBNP levels matched with 6.25%, 12.5%, 18.75%, and 25% hemorrhage were -22 +/- 6, -41 +/- 7, -54 +/- 10, and -71 +/- 7 mmHg, respectively (mean +/- SD). Hemodynamic responses to Hem and LBNP were similar. SV decreased linearly such that 25% Hem and matching LBNP caused a 50% reduction in SV. Hem caused a decrease in Hct, Hb, and central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO(2)). In contrast, LBNP increased Hct and Hb, while ScvO(2) remained unchanged. Hem caused greater elevations in AVP and NE than LBNP, while PRA, EPI, and other hematologic indexes did not differ between studies. These results indicate that while LBNP does not elicit the same effect on blood cell loss as Hem, LBNP mimics the integrative cardiovascular response to Hem, and validates the use of LBNP as an experimental model of central hypovolemia associated with Hem.

TI Vapor Pressure of Thiodiglycol
SO JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL AND ENGINEERING DATA
LA English
DT Article
AB Thiodiglycol (TDG), also known as bis(2-hydroxyethyl) sulfide and thiodiethanol, is a precursor of the blister agent sulfur mustard (bis(2-chloroethyl) sulfide). It is also a hydrolytic degradation product, and as such, it is of considerable forensic interest to the chemical defense community. Experimental vapor pressure data have been reported previously for TDG at T = (283.15 to 353.15) K, in addition to reduced-pressure boiling points at T = (353.15 to 454.65) K. New data have been measured using two complementary American Society for Testing and Materials International methods at T = (417.75 to 538.58) K by differential scanning calorimetry and in the ambient temperature range using saturator methodology at T = (298.15 to 313.15) K. The new TDG vapor pressure data are in sharp contrast to widely accepted values from previous literature.

AB BACKGROUND: Orthotopic heart transplant (OHT), followed by myeloablative chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT), has been successful in the treatment of amyloid light-chain (AL) cardiac amyloidosis. The purpose of this study was to identify predictors of survival to OHT in patients with end-stage heart failure due to AL amyloidosis and compare post-OHT survival of cardiac amyloid patients with survival of other cardiomyopathy patients undergoing OHT.
   METHODS: From January 2000 to June 2011, 31 patients with end-stage heart failure secondary to AL amyloidosis were listed for OHT at Massachusetts General Hospital. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses identified predictors of survival to OHT. Kaplan-Meier analysis compared survival between the Massachusetts General Hospital amyloidosis patients and non-amyloid cardiomyopathy patients from the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR).
   RESULTS: Low body mass index was the only predictor of survival to OHT in patients with end-stage heart failure caused by cardiac amyloidosis. Survival of cardiac amyloid patients who died before receiving a donor heart was only 63 45 days after listing. Patients who survived to OHT received a donor organ at 53 48 days after listing. Survival of AL amyloidosis patients on the waiting list was less than patients on the waiting list for all other non-amyloid diagnoses. The Jong-term survival of amyloid patients who underwent OHT was no different than the survival of non-amyloid, restrictive (p = 0.34), non-amyloid dilated (p = 0.34), or all non-amyloid cardiomyopathy patients (p = 0.22) in the SRTR database.
   CONCLUSIONS: Amyloid patients who survive to OHT, followed by ASCT, have a survival rate similar to other cardiomyopathy patients undergoing OHT; however, 35% of the patients died awaiting OHT. The only predictor of survival to OHT in AL amyloidosis patients was a low body mass index, which correlated with a shorter time on the waiting list. To optimize the survival of these patients, access to donor organs must be improved. (C) 2014 International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation. All rights reserved.

SO JOURNAL OF PSYCHOLINGUISTIC RESEARCH

DT Article
DE Phenomenology; Time and space; Semantics; Metaphor
AB Three empirical studies and one analysis of pre-existing data were performed to determine the everyday meanings of time, a major component of phenomenological analyses of human experience. To this end, participants in Studies 1 and 2 sorted time related words into groups having similar meanings, with these groups then evaluated by hierarchical clustering procedures. Results of Studies 1 and 2 produced similar clustering patterns suggesting it was possible to define the everyday meanings of time in terms of experiences of change and continuity, linear organization, tempo, and boundaries. Results of Study 3 indicated little or no effect on clustering patterns of time words when space words also were included in the set of items to be sorted. Concerns about the size and representativeness of the words used as stimuli in Studies 1, 2 and 3 led to an analysis of over 2,000 words falling under the general heading of Time in Roget's Thesaurus. Results of this analysis revealed that clusters comparable to those obtained in the other three studies also appeared in these data. These results were discussed in terms of their implications for the way in which "invisible" concepts such as time are thought about and used, particularly as related to figurative expression.

AB Gas-atomized 6061 aluminum powder was used as feedstock for deposition using a high pressure cold-spraying process. The microstructures of the as-received powder and cold spray processed (CSP) ultrafine-grained (UFG) 6061 depositions were characterized by different electron microscopy techniques. It was found that there is segregation of solute elements at the particle grain boundaries, which is increased after cold spraying (CS). Various microstructural features were observed in both directions (parallel and perpendicular) of the CSP layer, including low-angle grain boundaries, clustered-small-cell walls, and dislocation tangle zones. The results also indicated that a combination of different recrystallization mechanisms (i.e., continuous and geometrical) may contribute to the formation of nano and UFG structures during CS.

AB Monkeypox virus is a zoonotic virus endemic to Central Africa. Although active disease surveillance has assessed monkeypox disease prevalence and geographic range, information about virus diversity is lacking. We therefore assessed genome diversity of viruses in 60 samples obtained from humans with primary and secondary cases of infection from 2005 through 2007. We detected 4 distinct lineages and a deletion that resulted in gene loss in 10 (16.7%) samples and that seemed to correlate with human-to-human transmission (p = 0.0544). The data suggest a high frequency of spillover events from the pool of viruses in nonhuman animals, active selection through genomic destabilization and gene loss, and increased disease transmissibility and severity. The potential for accelerated adaptation to humans should be monitored through improved surveillance.

AB Polybrominated diphenyl ethers are compounds widely used as flame-retardants, which are of increasing environmental concern due to their persistence, and potential adverse effects. This study had two objectives. First we assessed if BDE-209 in sediment was bioavailable and bioaccumulated into zebrafish embryos. Secondly, we assessed the potential impact on human and environmental health of bioavailable BDE-209 using human in vitro cell assays and zebrafish embryos. Zebrafish were exposed from 4 h to 8 days post-fertilization to sediments spiked with 125 mg/kg of BDE-209. Zebrafish larvae accumulated ten fold more BDE-209 than controls in unspiked sediment after 8 days. BDE-209 impacted expression of neurological pathways and altered behavior of larvae, although BDE-209 had no visible affect on thyroid function or motoneuron and neuromast development. Zebrafish data and in silico predictions suggested that BDE-209 would also interact with key human transcription factors and receptors. We therefore tested these predictions using mammalian in vitro assays. BDE-209 activated human aryl hydrocarbon receptor, peroxisome proliferator activating receptors, CF/b-cat, activator protein I, Oct-MLP, and the estrogen receptor-related alpha (ERR alpha) receptor in cell-based assays. BDE-209 also inhibited human acetylcholinesterase activity. The observation that BDE-209 can be bioaccumulated from contaminated sediment highlights the need to consider this as a potential environmental exposure route. Once accumulated, our data also show that BDE-209 has the potential to cause impacts on both human and environmental health. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB This study aimed to investigate comparatively the main chemical and physico-chemical properties of the humic acid (HA) fraction of three different composts and to evaluate the bioactive effects of these HAs on the germination and early growth of four populations of switchgrass.
   Three compost HAs isolated from a green compost (HA(GC)), a mixed compost (HA(MC)), and a coffee compost (HA(CC)) were characterized for some chemical and physico-chemical properties, such as ash content, elemental composition, total acidity, carboxylic and phenolic OH group contents, E-4/E-6 ratio, Fourier Transform infrared (FT IR), and fluorescence spectroscopies. In subsequent experiments conducted in vitro in a climatic chamber under controlled conditions, the bioactive effects of the three HAs at concentrations of 10, 50, and 200 mg L-1 were tested on the germination and early growth of four switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) populations, the octaploids Shelter, Shawnee and Dacotah, and the tetraploid Alamo.
   The ash content and the E-4/E-6 ratio were, respectively, much higher or slightly higher for HA(CC) than for the other two HAs. HA(MC) showed the lowest C and H contents and the highest O content, whereas HA(GC) had the highest N content. The total acidity and phenolic OH group content followed the order: HA(MC) > HA(CC) > HA(GC). The fluorescence analysis of the three HAs evidenced a common fluorophore unit possibly associated to simple aromatic structures, such as phenolic-like, hydroxy-substituted benzoic and cinnamic acid derivatives. The FT IR spectra of all HA samples indicated the presence of aromatic phenolic structures. Significant beneficial effects were produced by any HA on switchgrass germination and early growth as a function of the population tested and the HA dose.
   Results of this study demonstrated that the addition of compost HAs to the germination medium of four switchgrass populations positively influenced the germination process and the growth of primary root and shoot. Significant correlations were found between HA bioactivity and some HA properties. These results suggest a possible use of compost as soil amendment in areas where switchgrass grows naturally or is cultivated.

AB Hexagonal-boron nitride (h-BN) or "white graphene" has many outstanding properties including high thermal conductivity, high mechanical strength, chemical inertness, and high electrical resistance, which open up a wide range of applications such as thermal interface material, protective coatings, and dielectric in nanoelectronics that easily exceed the current advertised benefits pertaining to the graphene-based applications. The development of h-BN films using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) has thus far led into nucleation of triangular or asymmetric diamond shapes on different metallic surfaces. Additionally, the average size of the triangular domains has remained relatively small (similar to 0.5 mu m(2)) leading to a large number of grain boundaries and defects. While the morphology of Cu surfaces for CVD-grown graphene may have impacts on the nucleation density, domain sizes, thickness, and uniformity, the effects of the decreased roughness of Cu surface to develop h-BN films are unknown. Here, we report the growth and characterization of novel large area h-BN hexagons using highly electropolished Cu substrate under atmospheric pressure CVD conditions. We found that the nucleation density of h-BN is significantly reduced while domain sizes increase. In this study, the largest hexagonal-shape h-BN domain observed is 35 mu m(2), which is an order of magnitude larger than a typical triangular domain. As the domains coalesce to form a continuous film, the larger grain size offers a more pristine and smoother film with lesser grain boundaries induced defects.

AB Background Sprint interval training (SIT) involving repeated 30-s "all out" efforts have resulted in significantly improved skeletal muscle oxidative capacity, maximal oxygen uptake, and endurance performance. The positive impact of SIT on cardiorespiratory fitness has far-reaching health implications.
   Objective The objective of this study was to perform a systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis to determine the effects of SIT on aerobic capacity.
   Methods A search of the literature was conducted using the key words 'sprint interval training', 'high intensity intermittent training/exercise', 'aerobic capacity', and 'maximal oxygen uptake'. Seventeen effects were analyzed from 16 randomized controlled trials of 318 participants. The mean +/- A standard deviation number of participants was 18.7 +/- A 5.1. Participant age was 23.5 +/- A 4.3 years.
   Results The effect size calculated for all studies indicates that supramaximal-intensity SIT has a small-to-moderate effect (Cohen's d = 0.32, 95 % CI 0.10-0.55; z = 2.79, P < 0.01) on aerobic capacity with an aggregate improvement of similar to 3.6 mL.kg(-1).min(-1) (similar to 8 % increase). The effect is moderate to large in comparison with no-exercise control groups (Cohen's d = 0.69, 95 % CI 0.46-0.93; z = 5.84, P < 0.01) and not different when compared with endurance training control groups (Cohen's d = 0.04, 95 % CI -0.17 to 0.24; z = 0.36, P = 0.72).
   Conclusion SIT improves aerobic capacity in healthy, young people. Relative to continuous endurance training of moderate intensity, SIT presents an equally effective alternative with a reduced volume of activity. This evaluation of effects and analysis of moderating variables consolidates the findings of small-sample studies and contributes to the practical application of SIT to improve cardiorespiratory fitness and health.

AB Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii infections are of particular concern within medical treatment facilities, yet the gene assemblages that give rise to this phenotype remain poorly characterized. In this study, we tested 97 clinical A. baumannii isolates collected from military treatment facilities (MTFs) from 2003 to 2009 by using a molecular epidemiological approach that enabled for the simultaneous screening of 236 antimicrobial resistance genes. Overall, 80% of the isolates were found to be MDR, each strain harbored between one and 17 resistant determinants, and a total of 52 unique resistance determinants or gene families were detected which are known to confer resistance to beta-lactam (e.g., blaGES-11, bla(TEM), bla(OXA-58)), aminoglycoside (e.g., aphA1, aacC1, armA), macrolide (msrA, msrB), tetracycline [e.g., tet(A), tet(B), tet(39)], phenicol (e.g., cmlA4, catA1, cat4), quaternary amine (qacE, qacE Delta 1), streptothricin (sat2), sulfonamide (sul1, sul2), and diaminopyrimidine (dfrA1, dfrA7, dfrA19) antimicrobial compounds. Importantly, 91% of the isolates harbored bla(OXA-51-like) carbapenemase genes (including six new variants), 40% harbored the blaOXA-23 carbapenemase gene, and 89% contained a variety of aminoglycoside resistance determinants with up to six unique determinants identified per strain. Many of the resistance determinants were found in potentially mobile gene cassettes; 45% and 7% of the isolates contained class 1 and class 2 integrons, respectively. Combined, the results demonstrate a facile approach that supports a more complete understanding of the genetic underpinnings of antimicrobial resistance to better assess the load, transmission, and evolution of MDR in MTF-associated A. baumannii.

AB Purpose: To quantify the rate of surgical failure after anterior shoulder stabilization procedures, as well as to identify demographic and surgical risk factors associated with poor outcomes. Methods: All Army patients undergoing arthroscopic or open Bankart repair for shoulder instability were isolated from the Military Health System Management Analysis and Reporting Tool between 2003 and 2010. Demographic variables (age, gender) and surgical variables (treatment facility volume, admission status, surgical technique) were extracted. Rates of surgical failure, defined as subsequent revision surgery or medical discharge with persistent shoulder complaints, were recorded from the electronic medical record and US Army Physical Disability Agency database. Risk factor analysis was performed with univariate t tests, chi 2 tests, and a multivariable logistic regression model with failure as the outcome. Results: A total of 3,854 patients underwent Bankart repair during the study period, with most procedures having been performed arthroscopically (n = 3,230, 84%) and on an outpatient basis (n = 3,255, 84%). Patients were predominately men (n = 3,531, 92%), and the mean age was 28.0 years (SD, 7.5 years). A total of 193 patients (5.0%) underwent revision stabilization whereas 339 patients (8.8%) were medically discharged with complaints of shoulder instability, for a total combined failure rate of 13.8% (n = 532). Univariate analyses showed no significant effect for gender; however, younger age, higher facility volume, open repair, and inpatient status were significant factors associated with subsequent surgical failure. Multivariable analyses confirmed that young age (odds ratio [OR], 0.93; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.91 to 0.96; P <.001), open repair (OR, 0.52; 95% CI, 0.36 to 0.75; P = .001), and inpatient status (OR, 0.58; 95% CI, 0.40 to 0.84; P = .004) were independently associated with failure by revision surgery. Conclusions: Young age remains a significant risk factor for surgical failure after Bankart repair. Patients who underwent arthroscopic Bankart repair had a significantly lower surgical failure rate (4.5%) than patients who underwent open anterior stabilization (7.7%). Despite advances in surgical technique, 1 in 20 military service members required revision surgery after failed primary stabilization in this study. Level of Evidence: Level IV, therapeutic case series.

AB In this study, three 3-dimensional (3-D) woven composite materials were examined to determine how yarn tow configurations affect the flexural response of the structure. Woven fabric preforms were manufactured with a Z-fiber architecture in 2-3 in. thicknesses. These preforms contained S-2 Glass (AGY, Aiken, SC, USA), carbon, and Twaron (Teijin Aramid, Arnhem, The Netherlands) yarns in different architectures creating a hybrid material system. Due to the thickness of the material, these samples required a significant span length (30 in.). The results showed a change in the strength and degradation after failure with the addition of carbon layers in tension.

ID POLYMERIC COMPOSITES; ELECTRIC-FIELD
AB A novel additive manufacturing technology is used to create micro-composites, which can be tailored for specific end-use applications. The Field-Aided Laminar Composite (FALCom) process uses specifically focused electric fields to align nano- to micro-sized particles into chain-like structures, which are referred to as pseudo-fibers. These pseudo-fibers are then immediately frozen into place by incident ultraviolet radiation on the photopolymer matrix. The pseudo-fibers are arranged by design, and they are used to create three-dimensional composite structures. Multiple filler materials have been evaluated for use in the FALCom system; however, this report describes aluminum micro-particles that are aligned and oriented in an acrylic photopolymer matrix. A description of the technology and a review of experimental processing are shown, and conclusions, as well as, future work are discussed.

AB We review the dynamic behavior of magnesium alloys through a survey of the literature and a comparison with our own high-strain-rate experiments. We describe high-strain-rate experiments (at typical strain rates of 10(3) s(-1)) on polycrystalline pure magnesium as well as two magnesium alloys, AZ31B and ZK60. Both deformation and failure are considered. The observed behaviors are discussed in terms of the fundamental deformation and failure mechanisms in magnesium, considering the effects of grain size, strain rate, and crystallographic texture. A comparison of current results with the literature studies on these and other Mg alloys reveals that the crystallographic texture, grain size, and alloying elements continue to have a profound influence on the high-strain-rate deformation behavior. The available data set suggests that those materials loaded so as to initiate extension twinning have relatively rate-insensitive strengths up to strain rates of several thousand per second. In contrast, some rate dependence of the flow stress is observed for loading orientations in which the plastic flow is dominated by dislocation mechanisms.

AB STUDY DESIGN: Randomized clinical trial.
   OBJECTIVES: To examine the effectiveness of cervical traction in addition to exercise for specific subgroups of patients with neck pain.
   BACKGROUND: Cervical traction is frequently used, but its effectiveness has not been adequately examined. Existing studies have failed to target patients most likely to respond. Traction is typically recommended for patients with cervical radiculopathy. A prediction rule has been described to identify a narrower subgroup of patients likely to respond to cervical traction.
   METHODS: Patients with neck pain and signs of radiculopathy were randomized to 4 weeks of treatment with exercise, exercise with mechanical traction, or exercise with over-door traction. Baseline assessment included subgrouping-rule status. The primary outcome measure (Neck Disability Index, scored 0-100) and secondary outcome measure (neck and arm pain intensity) were assessed at 4 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months after enrollment. The primary analyses examined 2-way treatment-by-time interactions. Secondary analyses examined validity of the subgrouping rule by adding 3-way interactions.
   RESULTS: Eighty-six patients (53.5% female; mean age, 46.9 years) were enrolled in the study. Intention-to-treat analysis found lower Neck Disability Index scores at 6 months in the mechanical traction group compared to the exercise group (mean difference between groups, 13.3; 95% confidence interval: 5.6, 21.0) and over-door traction group (mean difference between groups, 8.1; 95% confidence interval: 0.8, 15.3), and at 12 months in the mechanical traction group compared to the exercise group (mean difference between groups, 9.8; 95% confidence interval: 0.2, 19.4). Secondary outcomes favored mechanical traction at several time points. The validity of the subgrouping rule was supported on the Neck Disability Index at the 6-month time point only.
   CONCLUSION: Adding mechanical traction to exercise for patients with cervical radiculopathy resulted in lower disability and pain, particularly at long-term follow-ups.

ID MAGNESIUM ALUMINATE SPINEL; ROOM-TEMPERATURE; MGAL2O4; OXYNITRIDE;
   CERAMICS
AB The strength of two coarse-grained (grain size>200m) cubic ceramics, a magnesium aluminate spinel (MgAl2O4) and an AlON , along with a fine-grained (1.5m) MgAl2O4, was determined by conducting a series of four-point and equibiaxial flexure tests on specimens of different sizes. Weibull strength size scaling revealed a linear relationship on a log-log plot between average flexure strength and effective specimen area for the fine-grained spinel, but a nonlinear relationship for both coarse-grained materials. Initial fractography showed that each material had a single flaw population limiting the strength over the entire specimen size range, which does not account for the nonlinear size scaling relationship in the two coarse-grained materials. However, further fractography revealed that in both materials there was an initial flaw and a critical flaw. The former appears to be machining/polishing damage that started the fracture process while the latter was a cleaved grain in AlON or a cracked grain boundary in the HP/HIP spinel that lead to fracture of the specimen. The difference between the initial and critical flaw size coupled with a detailed analysis of the strength as a function of test specimen thickness accounted for the nonlinear strength size scaling relationship. As a result, strength values obtained using thin test specimens can lead to an erroneous strength prediction for large components made of these ceramics. The implication of these findings is that strength tests must be conducted using appropriately thick specimens to obtain a representative strength value. If appropriately thick specimens cannot be tested, then fractography must be conducted to determine the flaw size. If the flaw size is sufficiently large, compared with the specimen thickness, then the strength must be adjusted according to a stress field correction factor to obtain a more accurate strength value.

AB Accurate and effective diagnosis of actual injury severity can be problematic in trauma patients. Inherent physiologic compensatory mechanisms may prevent accurate diagnosis and mask true severity in many circumstances. The objective of this project was the development and validation of a multiparameter machine learning algorithm and system capable of predicting the need for life-saving interventions (LSIs) in trauma patients. Statistics based on means, slopes, and maxima of various vital sign measurements corresponding to 79 trauma patient records generated over 110,000 feature sets, which were used to develop, train, and implement the system. Comparisons among several machine learning models proved that a multilayer perceptron would best implement the algorithm in a hybrid system consisting of a machine learning component and basic detection rules. Additionally, 295,994 feature sets from 82 h of trauma patient data showed that the system can obtain 89.8 % accuracy within 5 min of recorded LSIs. Use of machine learning technologies combined with basic detection rules provides a potential approach for accurately assessing the need for LSIs in trauma patients. The performance of this system demonstrates that machine learning technology can be implemented in a real-time fashion and potentially used in a critical care environment.

ID WAVE OUTPUT POWER; PHOSPHATE-GLASSES; AMPLIFIERS; ER
AB A highly efficient ytterbium-free erbium-doped silicate glass fiber has been developed for high-power fiber laser applications at an eye-safe wavelength near 1.55 mu m. Our preliminary experiments show that high laser efficiency can be obtained from a relatively short length of the gain fiber when resonantly pumped at 1535 nm in both core-and cladding-pumping configurations. With a core-pumping configuration as high as 75%, optical-to-optical efficiency and 4 W output power were obtained at 1560 nm from a 1 m long gain fiber. When using a cladding-pumping configuration, approximately 13 W output power with 67.7% slope efficiency was demonstrated from a piece of 2 m long fiber. The lengths of silicate-based gain fiber are much shorter than their silica-based counterparts used in other experiments, which is significantly important for high-power narrow-band and/or pulsed laser applications.

AB Natural products represent the fourth generation of multidrug resistance (MDR) reversal agents that resensitize MDR cancer cells overexpressing P-glycoprotein (Pgp) to cytotoxic agents. We have developed an effective synthetic route to prepare various Strychnos alkaloids and their derivatives. Molecular modeling of these alkaloids docked to a homology model of Pgp was employed to optimize ligand-protein interactions and design analogues with increased affinity to Pgp. Moreover, the compounds were evaluated for their (1) binding affinity to Pgp by fluorescence quenching, and (2) MDR reversal activity using a panel of in vitro and cell-based assays and compared to verapamil, a known inhibitor of Pgp activity. Compound 7 revealed the highest affinity to Pgp of all Strychnos congeners (K-d = 4.4 mu M), the strongest inhibition of Pgp ATPase activity, and the strongest MDR reversal effect in two Pgp-expressing cell lines. Altogether, our findings suggest the clinical potential of these synthesized compounds as viable Pgp modulators justifies further investigation. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

TI Kinetic Energy Method for Predicting Initiation of Backward Erosion in
   Earthen Dams and Levees
SO ENVIRONMENTAL & ENGINEERING GEOSCIENCE

DE Piping; Internal Erosion; Suffusion; Earthen Dams; Levees; Kinetic

ID SHEAR-STRESS; FLOW
AB Current methods to evaluate the potential risk of earthen dam and levee failures by internal erosion fail to consider appropriate failure criteria for the initiation, continuation, and progression phases and are often based on subjective assessment. Six different internal erosion failure modes may occur within a dam or levee, its abutments, or the foundation that are triggered or facilitated by different mechanisms and therefore have different failure criteria. In non-cohesive soils, suffusion, backward erosion, heave, or concentrated leak erosion (scour) are possible, although the physical mechanisms driving the failure criterion for each of these are very different. Currently, no credible failure criteria exist for evaluation of the initiation of backward erosion. This article presents derivation of a specific failure criterion for initiation of backward erosion in non-cohesive soils using the critical kinetic energy (E-kcrit) of initiation. Laboratory experiments conducted with different soils showed that E-kcrit is affected by the physical characteristics of the soil, effective stress conditions, and angle of the seepage path. In internally stable, non-cohesive soils (e.g., uniform medium sands) with up to 6 percent non-plastic fines, backward erosion initiated when the E-kcrit of seepage exceeded 0.075 Joules. In non-cohesive soils with 10 percent non-plastic fines, which are also prone to suffusion, the E-kcrit for backward erosion is reduced by a factor of as much as 100. Moreover, in soil with 20 percent plastic fines, initiation of backward erosion did not occur. Concentrated leak erosion along hydraulic-induced fractures was the dominant process of internal erosion in soils with plastic fines. A new backward erosion assessment methodology based on the factor of safety is proposed for initiation of backward erosion that relates the laboratory-derived E-kcrit and the anticipated maximum actual kinetic energy, as measured in the field or estimated during design. The advantage of this method is that laboratory-derived E-kcrit can take into account the natural factors that affect initiation of backward erosion. Several examples are presented to demonstrate the application of the factor of safety methodology under typical field conditions.

AB Background: Although consuming dietary protein above current recommendations during energy deficit (ED) preserves lean body mass, concerns have been raised regarding the effects of high-protein diets on bone health.
   Objective: The objective was to determine whether calcium homeostasis and bone turnover are affected by high-protein diets during weight maintenance (WM) and ED.
   Design: In a randomized, parallel-design, controlled trial of 32 men and 7 Women, volunteers were assigned diets providing protein at 0.8 [Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA)], 1.6 (2 x RDA), or 2.4 (3 x RDA) g . kg(-1) . d(-1) for 31 d. Ten days of WM preceded 21 d of ED during which total daily ED was 40%, achieved by reduced dietary energy intake (similar to 30%) and increased physical activity (similar to 10%). The macronutrient composition (protein g . kg(-1) . d(-1) and % fat) was held constant from WM to ED. Calcium absorption (ratio of Ca-44 to Ca-42) and circulating indexes of bone turnover were determined at day 8 (WM) and day 29 (ED).
   Results: Regardless of energy state, mean (+/- SEM) urinary pH was lower (P < 0.05) at 2 x RDA (6.28 +/- 0.05) and 3 x RDA (6.23 +/- 0.06) than at the RDA (6.54 +/- 0.06). However, protein had no effect on either, urinary calcium excretion (P > 0.05) or the amount of calcium retained (P > 0.05). ED decreased serum insulin-like growth factor I concentrations and increased serum tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase and 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations (P < 0.01). Remaining markers of bone turnover and whole-body bone mineral density and content were not affected by either the protein level or ED (P > 0.05).
   Conclusion: These data demonstrate that short-term consumption of high-protein diets does not disrupt calcium homeostasis and is not detrimental to skeletal integrity.

AB Dengue virus has traditionally caused substantial morbidity and mortality among children less than 15 years of age in Southeast Asia. Over the last 2 decades, a significant increase in the mean age of cases has been reported, and a once pediatric disease now causes substantial burden among the adult population. An age-stratified serological study (n 1,736) was conducted in 2010 among schoolchildren in the Mueang Rayong district of Thailand, where a similar study had been conducted in 1980/1981. Serotype-specific forces of infection ((t)) and basic reproductive numbers (R-0) of dengue were estimated for the periods 19691980 and 19932010. Despite a significant increase in the age at exposure and a decrease in (t) from 0.038/year to 0.019/year, R-0 changed only from 3.3 to 3.2. Significant heterogeneity was observed across subdistricts and schools, with R-0 ranging between 1.7 and 6.8. These findings are consistent with the idea that the observed age shift might be a consequence of the demographic transition in Thailand. Changes in critical vaccination fractions, estimated by using R-0, have not accompanied the increase in age at exposure. These results have implications for dengue control interventions because multiple countries in Southeast Asia are undergoing similar demographic transitions. It is likely that dengue will never again be a disease exclusively of children.

AB We report the recovery and improvement in low-velocity impact properties of e-glass/epoxy composites achieved through embedding self-healing agent (SHA) filled hollow glass fibers (HGFs). At first, catalytic technique was used to fill bonded HGFs with SHA. The HGFs were then laid on e-glass fibers and the laminates were fabricated using vacuum assisted resin infusion molding (VARIM) process. Low-velocity impact tests at two different energy levels were conducted multiple times in the closest proximity to determine the healing efficiency. Results showed significant improvement and recovery in impact properties with 53.6% gain in peak load after second impact in SHA filled HGFs samples in comparison to control samples. A significant gain in energy to peak load was also found in SHA filled samples with 86.6% improvement over control samples. Optical microscopy images of SHA filled HGFs samples showed filling of cracks developed after impact. A distinct damage behavior was observed in control and HGFs embedded samples.

AB The computational cost of micromechanics for heterogeneous materials can be reduced in certain cases where symmetric boundary conditions are applicable. We derived an eighth symmetric formulation of the Generalized Method of Cells for triply periodic microstructures. During this endeavor, an inherent symmetry was discovered. This implied that all repeating unit cells may be quarter symmetric representations of other microstructures. Additionally, it was discovered that a repeating unit cell can have columns of subcells swapped with no changes to the local or global fields. We concluded that first-order micromechanics are not well suited for capturing detailed or complex microstructures; however, higher-order theories, such as High Fidelity Generalized Method of Cells, can adequately model these microstructures.

AB The human factors literature on intelligent systems was reviewed in relation to the following: efficient human supervision of multiple robots, appropriate human trust in the automated systems, maintenance of human operator's situation awareness, individual differences in human-agent (H-A) interaction, and retention of human decision authority. A number of approaches-from flexible automation to autonomous agents-were reviewed, and their advantages and disadvantages were discussed. In addition, two key human performance issues (trust and situation awareness) related to H-A teaming for multirobot control and some promising user interface design solutions to address these issues were discussed. Some major individual differences factors (operator spatial ability, attentional control ability, and gaming experience) were identified that may impact H-A teaming in the context of robotics control.

AB The recent growth of agent-based software systems was achieved without the development of a reference architecture. From a software engineering standpoint, a reference architecture is necessary to compare, evaluate, and integrate past, current, and future agent-based software systems. The agent systems reference architecture (ASRA) advances the agent-based system development process by providing a set of key interaction patterns for functional areas that exist between the layers and protocols of agent-based systems. Furthermore, the ASRA identifies the points for interoperability between agent-based systems and increases the level of discussion when referring to agent-based systems. This paper presents methodology, grounded in software forensics, to develop the ASRA and provides an overview of the resulting architectural representation. The methodology uses an approach based on software engineering techniques adapted to study agent frameworks-the libraries and tools for building agent systems. The resulting ASRA can serve as an abstract representation of the components necessary for facilitating comparison, integration, and interoperation of software systems composed of agents.

AB Background. Despite the strong association between secondary dengue virus (DENV) infections and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF), the majority of secondary infections are subclinical or mild. The determinants of clinical severity remain unclear, though studies indicate a titer-dependent and time-dependent role of cross-protective anti-DENV antibodies.
   Methods. Data from 2 sequential prospective cohort studies were analyzed for subclinical and symptomatic DENV infections in schoolchildren in Kamphaeng Phet, Thailand (1998-2002 and 2004-2007). Children experiencing >= 1 DENV infection were selected as the population for analysis (contributing 2169 person-years of follow-up).
   Results. In total, 1696 children had >= 1 DENV infection detected during their enrollment; 268 experienced 2 or more infections. A shorter time interval between infections was associated with subclinical infection in children seronegative for DENV at enrollment, for whom a second-detected DENV infection is more likely to reflect a true second infection (average of 2.6 years between infections for DHF, 1.9 for DF, and 1.6 for subclinical infections).
   Conclusions. These findings support a pathogenesis model where cross-reactive antibodies wane from higher-titer, protective levels to lower-titer, detrimental levels. This is one of the first studies of human subjects to suggest a window of cross-protection following DENV infection since Sabin's challenge studies in the 1940s.

AB The American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Foundation, and the International Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons sponsored the fifth research summit, which convened on May 2 and 3 in Rosemont, Illinois. The Research Summits are convened biennially to facilitate the discussion and collaboration of oral and maxillofacial surgeons with clinical and basic science researchers in fields affecting the specialty. The goal is to advance the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery through exposure and education in topics that ultimately benefit the oral and maxillofacial surgical patient. This edition of the research summit included the topics of robotic surgery and antiresorptive-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (ARONJ). Most importantly, this research summit saw the development of research interest groups (RIGs) in the fields of anesthesia, maxillofacial oncology and reconstructive surgery, obstructive sleep apnea and orthognathic surgery, temporomandibular joint surgery, and trauma. These RIGs developed specific research goals with a plan to continue working on potential projects at the AAOMS Clinical Trials Course on May 7 to 9, 2013 at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. The summit program was developed by the AAOMS Committee on Research Planning and Technology Assessment. The charge of the committee is to encourage and promote research within the specialty and to encourage interdisciplinary collaboration. The research summit serves as a platform for oral and maxillofacial surgeons to lead the goal of advancement of research relevant to the specialty. This article provides an overview of the presentations that were made in the sessions on robotic surgery and ARONJ. The research summit keynote address and two additional presentations on patient registries are summarized and updates from the RIGs that were formed at the 2013 research summit are highlighted.

TI Open burning and open detonation PM10 mass emission factor measurements
   with optical remote sensing
SO JOURNAL OF THE AIR & WASTE MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION
LA English
DT Article
ID STATIONARY SHORT-TERM; PARTICULATE; DUST
AB Emission factors (EFs) of particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter 10 mu m (PM10) from the open burning/open detonation (OB/OD) of energetic materials were measured using a hybrid-optical remote sensing (hybrid-ORS) method. This method is based on the measurement of range-resolved PM backscattering values with a micropulse light detection and ranging (LIDAR; MPL) device. Field measurements were completed during March 2010 at Tooele Army Depot, Utah, which is an arid continental site. PM10 EFs were quantified for OB of M1 propellant and OD of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT). EFs from this study are compared with previous OB/OD measurements reported in the literature that have been determined with point measurements either in enclosed or ambient environments, and with concurrent airborne point measurements. PM10 mass EFs, determined with the hybrid-ORS method, were 7.8x10(-3) kg PM10/kg M1 from OB of M1 propellant, and 0.20 kg PM10/kg TNT from OD of TNT. Compared with previous results reported in the literature, the hybrid-ORS method EFs were 13% larger for OB and 174% larger for OD. Compared with the concurrent airborne measurements, EF values from the hybrid-ORS method were 37% larger for OB and 54% larger for OD. For TNT, no statistically significant differences were observed for the EFs measured during the detonation of 22.7 and 45.4 kg of TNT, supporting that the total amount of detonated mass in this mass range does not have an effect on the EFs for OD of TNT.
   Implications: Particulate matter (PM) in the atmosphere affects the health of humans and ecosystems, visibility, and climate. Fugitive PM emissions are not well characterized because of spatial and temporal ubiquity and heterogeneity. The hybrid-ORS method is appropriate for quantifying fugitive PM emission factors (EFs) because it captures the spatial and temporal dispersion of ground level and elevated plumes in real time, without requiring numerous point measurement devices. The method can be applied to provide an opportunity to reduce the uncertainty of fugitive PM EFs and readily update PM emissions in National Emission Inventories for a range of fugitive PM sources.

AB Despite the growing use of poxvirus vectors as vaccine candidates for multiple pathogens and cancers, their innate stimulatory properties remain poorly characterized. Here we show that the canarypox virus-based vector ALVAC induced distinct systemic proinflammatory and antiviral cytokine and chemokine levels following the vaccination of rhesus monkeys compared to the vaccinia virus-based vectors MVA and NYVAC. These data suggest that there are substantial biological differences among leading poxvirus vaccine vectors that may influence resultant adaptive immune responses following vaccination.

AB An individual's opinion on an issue is greatly impacted by others in his or her social network. Most people are open-minded and ready to change their opinion when presented evidence; however, some are zealots or inflexibles, that is, individuals who refuse to change their opinion while staunchly advocating an opinion in hopes of convincing others. Zealotry is present in opinions of significant personal investment, such as political, religious or corporate affiliation; it tends to be less commonplace in opinions involving rumors or fashion trends. In this paper, we examine the effect that zealots have in a population whose opinion dynamics obey the naming game model. We present numerical and analytical results about the number and nature of steady state solutions, demonstrating the existence of a bifurcation in the space of zealot fractions. Our analysis indicates conditions under which a minority zealot opinion ultimately prevails, and conditions under which neither opinion attains a majority. We also present numerical and simulation analysis of finite populations and on networks with partial connectivity. Published by Elsevier B.V.

AB Critical social ensembles are generated using a decision making model (DMM) consisting of a master equation, with two-state elements at the nodes of a two-dimensional lattice. The dynamics of the DMM undergo phase transitions to either a consensus state or another state composed of apparently statistically independent individuals as shown in an ensemble of calculations. The critical social ensemble is entailed by the network elements nonlinearly interacting through imperfect social imitation on the backbone of a correlation network. An information entropy measure of the difference between coherent and incoherent configurations in the critical social ensemble is constructed. The entropy indicates a greater probability for the formation of either opposing groups or universal consensus above that of random disagreement. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB Background: Technological advances in prosthetic design include the use of microprocessors that adapt device performance based on user motion. The Proprio ankle unit prepositions the foot to adjust for walking on slopes and increases foot clearance during swing to minimize gait deviations.
   Study design: Comparative analysis.
   Objectives: To investigate the effect of a prosthesis with adaptive ankle motion on physiological gait performance during slope walking.
   Methods: Six persons with a unilateral transtibial amputation completed treadmill walking tests at three slopes (-5 degrees, 0 degrees, and 5 degrees). The participants were tested wearing a customary device, active Proprio (Pon), and an identical inactivated Proprio (Poff).
   Results: Metabolic energy expenditure, energy cost for walking, and rating of walking difficulty were not statistically different between the Pon and Poff for all tested slopes. However, for slope descent, energy expenditure and energy cost for walking improved significantly by an average of 10%-14% for both the Pon and Poff compared to the customary limb. Rating of walking difficulty also showed an improvement with slope descent for both the Pon and Poff compared to the customary device. An improvement with slope ascent was found for Pon compared to the customary limb only.
   Conclusions: Adaptive ankle motion provided no meaningful physiological benefit during slope walking. The Proprio was, however, less demanding than the customary device for slope descent. Differences in the mechanical properties of the prosthetic feet likely contributed to the changes.
   Clinical relevance While the adaptive ankle motion did not affect metabolic energy expenditure or energy cost for walking, the results suggest close attention should be paid to the mechanical properties of the foot component. Assessment of gait on nonlevel surfaces is recommended to better understand the implications of different prosthetic design features.

AB Using the finite difference time domain (FDTD) numerical simulation approach and synthetic computational experiments we investigated the use of the ultra-wide band (UWB) radar technique for human vital sign detection under collapsed building debris caused by catastrophic earthquakes. The model of the collapsed building was developed based on a real situation from an earthquake disaster site. The model consists of two human beings with different characteristics of vital signs, i.e., with different cardio-respiration features, posed in different positions, and buried at different depths in the debris. Analysis of the synthetic data indicates that the UWB impulse radar can identify and separate the human subjects' vital sign for a radar record as short as 20 s. The simulation approach was verified with a physical experiment using impulse UWB radar with two human subjects positioned behind a concrete wall. Advanced signal processing of source separation and signal processing using empirical mode decomposition were conducted to identify and locate the human subjects. The results show that this approach is a promising technique for search and rescue of living victims at disaster sites. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB In wind tunnel experiments, we study the effects of soil moisture on the threshold condition to entrain fine grain sand/silt into eolian flow and the near-bed concentration of airborne particles. To study the effect of particle shape on moisture bonding, we use two types of particles nearly equal in size: spherical glass beads and sieved quartz sand . Both are poorly graded soils. We conducted these experiments at low moisture contents . We found that the spherical particles were more sensitive to changes in moisture than the sand, attributable to the large differences in specific surface area of the two particles. The larger specific surface area for sand is due to the surface roughness of the angular sand particle. Consequently, sand "stores" more moisture via surface adsorption, requiring higher soil moisture content to form liquid bridges between sand particles. Based on these findings, we extend the concept of a threshold moisture content, -originally proposed for clayey soils-to soils that lack any measureable clay content. This allows application of existing models developed for clayey soils that quantify the moisture effect on the threshold friction velocity to sand and silty soils (i.e., clay content 0). Additionally, we develop a model that quantifies the moisture effects on near-surface airborne particulate concentration, using experimental observations to determine the functional dependence on fluid and particle properties, including soil specific area. These models can be applied to numerical simulation of particulate plume formation and dispersion.

AB Electrochemical detections of 14 munitions constituents (MCs) listed on the Environmental Protection Agency hazardous waste list were examined using square wave voltammetry. Of the MCs that showed peak resolution in the scanned range, the reduction potential, limit of detection and limit of quantitation are reported here. The MCs tested are in three groups: nitrobenzenes, nitrotoluenes, and other nitro-aromatics: tetryl, HMX, and RDX. There was a correlation between peak resolution and the number of nitro groups for the nitrobenzenes and nitrotoluenes. The nitro group distance from the methyl for the nitrotoluenes with two nitro groups showed some correlation to the ability to detect as well. Some mixture experiments were conducted in which MCs with three and two nitro groups were detected simultaneously. While tetryl readily displayed two peaks, RDX and HMX did not show such clear peak resolution.

AB Transmitted/founder virus is responsible for the establishment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection and induces primary anti-HIV-1 immune responses; therefore, it is important to study the viral population to understand the early events of HIV-1 infection. We amplified HIV-1 env genes from sera derived from recently infected Thai individuals, and established envelope glycoproteins (Env)-re-combinant viruses. Generated Env-recombinant viruses were tested for their neutralization susceptibility to neutralizing human monoclonal antibodies (NHMAbs) and entry inhibitors, as well as being subjected to genotypic analysis. Most recombinant viruses were susceptible to neutralization by NHMAbs to Env gp41, whereas approximately one-third of the recombinant viruses were susceptible to a NHMAb against the CD4 binding site of gp120. In addition, all env genes were classified into CRF01_AE genes and showed low genetic divergence. Taken together with our previous studies on CRF01_AE env genes derived from chronically infected Thai individuals, these results suggested that the immunological and genetic characteristics of CRF01_AE Env derived from recently infected Thai individuals were different from those derived from chronically infected individuals.

AB A validated LCMS method was developed for the quantitative determination of caffeic acid phenethyl amide (CAPA) and caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) from rat plasma. Separation was achieved using a reverse-phase C-12 HPLC column (150 x 2.00 mm, 4 mu m) with gradient elution running water (A) and acetonitrile (B). Mass spectrometry was performed with electrospray ionization in negative mode. This method was used to determine the pharmacokinetic profiles of CAPA and CAPE in male Sprague-Dawley rats following intravenous bolus administration of 5, 10 and 20 mg/kg of CAPA and 20 mg/kg of CAPE. The pharmacokinetic analysis suggests the lack of dose proportionality in the dose range of 5-20 mg/kg of CAPA. Total clearance values for CAPA ranged from 45 to 156 mL/min and decreased with increasing dose of CAPA. The volume of distribution for CAPA ranged from 17,750 to 52,420 mL, decreasing with increasing dose. The elimination half-life for CAPA ranged from 243.1 to 295.8 min and no statistically significant differences were observed between dose groups in the range of 5-20 mg/kg (p > 0.05). The elimination half-life for CAPE was found to be 92.26 min. Copyright (c) 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

AB Multiplex coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (MCARS) is used to detect several chemical warfare simulants, such as dimethyl methylphosphonate and 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide, with high specificity. The spectral bandwidth of the femtosecond laser pulse used in these studies is sufficient to coherently and simultaneously drive all the vibrational modes in the molecule of interest. Evidence shows that MCARS is capable of overcoming common sensitivity limitations of spontaneous Raman scattering, thus allowing for the detection of the target material in milliseconds with standard, uncooled universal serial bus spectrometers as opposed to seconds with cooled, intensified CCD-based spectrometers. In addition, the obtained MCARS spectrum of the investigated sample provides multiple unique signatures. These signatures are used in an off-line multivariate statistical analysis allowing for the material's discrimination with high fidelity.

The criteria are based on a combination of a point process, one-point and two-point probability functions; convergence of microstructure size; and equality of fiber radius distribution. The criteria were shown to distinguish different microstructures and identify similar ones. Also, a reconstruction technique is proposed that can efficiently reconstruct a microstructure while satisfying the criteria. Results show the reconstruction technique exceeded the 5% tolerances set by multiple samples of an experimental observation. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB Many coherent imaging modalities such as synthetic aperture radar suffer from a multiplicative noise, commonly referred to as speckle, which often makes the interpretation of data difficult. An effective strategy for speckle reduction is to use a dictionary that can sparsely represent the features in the speckled image. However, such approaches fail to capture important salient features such as texture. In this paper, we present a speckle reduction algorithm that handles this issue by formulating the restoration problem so that the structure and texture components can be separately estimated with different dictionaries. To solve this formulation, an iterative algorithm based on surrogate functionals is proposed. Experiments indicate the proposed method performs favorably compared to state-of-the-art speckle reduction methods.

AB We present a new analytical model for predicting the tensile and compressive mechanical properties of bimodal nano-aluminum alloys. The model relies on simple material variables that show a Hall-Petch-like grain size dependence including a newly defined ductility parameter which can be used with the Hollomon equation to allow for the prediction of failure stress and strain. When the model is applied to bimodal nano-aluminum alloys, the results show excellent agreement with the experimental observations. (C) 2013 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

TI Comparison of Particle Number Counts Measured with an Ink Jet Aerosol

SO AEROSOL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

DT Article
ID EFFICIENCY
AB Aerodynamic particle sizer (APS) users typically calibrate the particle sizing capabilities, but not the counting efficiency upon which aerosol concentration results are based. Herein, comparisons were made between the counts provided by an ink jet aerosol generator (IJAG) with those measured by an APS. Near-monodisperse (geometric standard deviation of about 1.06) liquid or solid aerosols in the size range of 0.95 to 13.3m aerodynamic diameter (AD) generated with an IJAG were released into the inner inlet-tube of the APS in a manner that rendered APS wall and aspiration losses negligible. For most experiments, the IJAG generated 75 particles/s, which rate was maintained by the IJAG system through control of electrical pulses applied to its ink jet cartridge. For particles in the size range of 2-13.3m AD, the ratio of relative detection efficiency (ratio of the number of particles counted by the APS to the number reported as generated by the IJAG) was 99.3 1.4%; however, for test particles between 0.95 and 2m AD, the relative detection efficiency was somewhat lower, but the drop off was less than about 2%. This slight drop off is likely associated with the light scattering detection approach and corresponding counting algorithm of the APS. Tests were conducted where the IJAG produced 7.0m AD particles at rates of 1 to 500s(-1) and the results showed essentially a 1:1 correspondence between IJAG and APS counts. The presence of smaller-sized background particles did not affect the measured APS counts of larger-sized challenge particles.

AB Hazard identification is an important step in assessing nanomaterial risk and is required under multiple regulatory frameworks in the US, Europe and worldwide. Given the emerging nature of the field and complexity of nanomaterials, multiple studies on even basic material properties often result in varying data pointing in different directions when data interpretation is attempted. Weight of evidence (WOE) evaluation has been recommended for nanomaterial risk assessment, but the majority of WOE frameworks are qualitative in nature and do not satisfy the growing needs for objectivity and transparency that are necessary for regulatory decision making. This paper implements a quantitative WOE framework that utilizes multi-criteria decision analysis methodology for integrating individual studies on nanomaterial hazard resulting from physico-chemical and toxicological properties of nanomaterials. For the first time, a WOE approach explicitly integrates expert evaluation of data quality of available information. Application of the framework is illustrated for titanium dioxide nanoparticles (nano-TiO2), but the approach is designed to compare the relative hazard of several nanomaterials as well as emerging stressors in general.

AB This work is an investigation of the mechanical response and damage evolution of Rolled Homogeneous Armor (RHA) steel at different temperatures, stress states, and strain rates. Although the tension, compression, and torsion yield and work hardening rates were essentially the same when considering uncertainty in the tests, the damage progression and failure strains were different. Tension and torsion experiments revealed that torsional loading was more deleterious to ductility when comparing equivalent failure strains. As is typical of metals, the experiments showed that as the temperature increased to 300 C from ambient conditions, the flow stress decreased, and the failure strains increased. High strain-rate experiments conducted via split-Hopkinson pressure bars (Kolsky) showed increased strength and reduced failure strains. Fractography was performed on selected tension and torsion postmortem specimens to quantify the number density of nucleated voids and size distribution of voids from the experiments. For the first time in the literature, an internal state variable (ISV) plasticity/damage model was used to capture the varying effects of temperature, strain rate, and stress state for the RHA steel with a single set of plasticity and damage parameters. The ISV model for RHA steel can be used in finite element analysis (FEA) under a wide variety of boundary conditions. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB Perkinsus marinus (Phylum Perkinsozoa) is a marine protozoan parasite responsible for "Dermo" disease in oysters, which has caused extensive damage to the shellfish industry and estuarine environment. The infection prevalence has been estimated in some areas to be as high as 100%, often causing death of infected oysters within 1-2 years post-infection. Human consumption of the parasites via infected oysters is thus likely to occur, but to our knowledge the effect of oral consumption of P. marinus has not been investigated in humans or other mammals. To address the question we used humanized mice expressing HLA-DR4 molecules and lacking expression of mouse MHC-class II molecules (DR4.EA(0)) in such a way that CD4 T cell responses are solely restricted by the human HLA-DR4 molecule. The DR4.EA(0) mice did not develop diarrhea or any detectable pathology in the gastrointestinal tract or lungs following single or repeated feedings with live P. marinus parasites. Furthermore, lymphocyte populations in the gut associated lymphoid tissue and spleen were unaltered in the parasite-fed mice ruling out local or systemic inflammation. Notably, naive DR4.EA(0) mice had antibodies (IgM and IgG) reacting against P. marinus parasites whereas parasite specific T cell responses were undetectable. Feeding with P. marinus boosted the antibody responses and stimulated specific cellular (IFN gamma) immunity to the oyster parasite. Our data indicate the ability of P. marinus parasites to induce systemic immunity in DR4.EA(0) mice without causing noticeable pathology, and support rationale grounds for using genetically engineered P. marinus as a new oral vaccine platform to induce systemic immunity against infectious agents.

AB Water flow coupled to the migration of ions is an important aspect of the performance of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells. The water gradients arising from the operation of fuel cells can result in flooding and drying-out of the electrodes and drying of regions of the membrane, with concomitant losses in conductivity and efficiency. The electro-osmotic drag coefficient measures the ratio between the flow of solvent molecules to that of a charged species toward an electrode in the presence of an applied electric field. The effects of variables such as pore radius, crowding, temperature, electric field strength, and ion concentration on the mobility of ions and accompanying water molecules in an applied electric field are still not well understood. Here, we investigate these factors with coarse-grained molecular simulations using an efficient model of water and sodium chloride ions and compare these results with those from previous experiments on proton exchange membranes as well as new experimental results for an anion exchange membrane. The anion exchange membranes have a smaller value of K-drag than the proton-exchange membranes, which may be attributed to smaller water domains and a different charge carrier (hydroxide instead of protons). We directly determine the role of pore size on K-drag and confirm that narrower pores result in less electro-osmotic drag. Our simulations show that K-drag is sensitive to the interaction of the charge carrier with water molecules. The results of this work suggest that the most promising approach to minimize electro-osmotic drag while maintaining adequate ion conductivity is to control the morphology of the membrane structure at the microscopic level.

AB Zirconium hydroxide particles are reactive and photoluminescent, emitting blue light under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. Adsorption-induced changes in the photoluminescence (PL) offer opportunities for gas sensor/filtration applications. The PL of Zr(OH)(4) is quenched in the presence of molecular oxygen, likely through trapping of surface electrons via the formation of O-2(-). Heating the powder high enough to desorb hydroxyl groups broadens the PL spectrum toward longer wavelengths. This 'red-stretch' also occurs upon reaction with sulfur dioxide, which replaces terminal hydroxyl groups with sulfite ones. Excessive UV irradiation correspondingly induces this effect. A mechanism is proposed to account for the red-stretch. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB Hybrid surfaces consisting of a micropillar array of hydrophobic and hydrophilic sites were designed and fabricated to understand the effects of their unique surface morphology and chemistry on droplet condensation. Droplet impingement experiments have revealed that hybrid surfaces exhibit high contact angles, which is characteristic of purely hydrophobic surfaces. However, little is known about the wetting behavior of droplets that nucleate and grow on hybrid surfaces during condensation. In fact, condensed droplets display a distinct wetting behavior during the droplet growth phase which cannot be reproduced by simply impinging droplets on hybrid surfaces. In this study, hybrid surfaces with three different spacing ratios were subjected to condensation tests using an environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) and a condensation cell under ambient conditions. For hybrid surfaces with spacing ratio below 2, droplets were observed to form on top and sides of the micropillars, where they grew, coalesced with adjacent droplets, and shed after reaching a given size. After shedding, the top surface remained partially dry, which allowed for immediate droplet growth. For hybrid surfaces with spacing ratio equal to 2, a different wetting behavior was observed, where droplets basically coalesced and formed a thin liquid film which was ultimately driven into the valleys of the microstructure. The liquid shedding process led to the renucleation of droplets primarily on top of the dry hydrophilic sites. To better understand the nature of droplet wetting on hybrid surfaces, a surface energy-based model was developed to predict the transition between the two observed wetting behaviors at different spacing ratios. The experimental and analytical results indicate that micropillar spacing ratio is the key factor for promoting different wetting behavior of condensed droplets on hybrid surfaces.

AB The microstructural stability of ultrafine grained (UFG) cold spray 6061 aluminum deposits produced by high pressure cold spray were investigated by in situ heating to a fully annealed state via a hot-stage transmission electron microscope (TEM). It was possible to observe the precise locations and temperatures of different microstructural changes, like dislocation movement and other restoration processes. Even after heating up to the annealing temperature for this alloy, the deposited layer in the perpendicular direction was found to preserve the UFG structures, which were the result of different recrystallization mechanisms caused by the high strains present during cold spraying. Extensive solute segregation at the grain boundaries acted as an obstruction for grain boundary migration in this direction, thereby preventing grain growth. However, in the direction parallel to the deposited surface, the UFGs were not resistant to grain coursing like the other direction, since the grain boundaries had much less solute segregation.

DE Reflected light; angle of linear polarization; detection of clouds
ID PART II; CIRRUS; TEMPERATURE; AEROSOLS; MISSION; SPACE; MODIS
AB We report a novel method for detecting cloud particles in the atmosphere. Solar radiation backscattered from clouds is studied with both satellite data and a radiative transfer model. A distinct feature is found in the angle of linear polarization of solar radiation that is backscattered from clouds. The dominant backscattered electric field from the clear-sky Earth-atmosphere system is nearly parallel to the Earth surface. However, when clouds are present, this electric field can rotate significantly away from the parallel direction. Model results demonstrate that this polarization feature can be used to detect super-thin cirrus clouds having an optical depth of only similar to 0.06 and super-thin liquid water clouds having an optical depth of only similar to 0.01. Such clouds are too thin to be sensed using any current passive satellite instruments.

AB Resistance to efavirenz and nevirapine has not been associated with mutations at position 138 of reverse transcriptase. In an evaluation of virologic suppression rates in PEPFAR (President's Emergency Plan For AIDS Relief) clinics in Kenya among patients on first-line therapy (RV288), 63% (617/975) of randomly selected patients on antiretroviral therapy were suppressed (HIV RNA<400copies/ml). Among those with non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor resistance (n=101), 14 (13.8%) had substitutions at 138 (A, G, K or Q), mutations selected only by etravirine and rilpivirine in subtype B viruses. All 14 patients received efavirenz or nevirapine, not etravirine or rilpivirine, and were predominantly subtype A1. This may be the first report of efavirenz and nevirapine selecting these mutations in these subtypes.

AB Silver has unique electrical, catalytic, and plasmonic characteristics and has been widely sought for fabrication of nanostructures. The properties of silver nanostructures are intimately coupled to the structure of silver crystals. Two crystal structures are known for silver: the stable (ground) state cubic face centered 3C-Ag structure and the metastable hexagonal 4H-Ag structure. Recently, Chackraborty et al. [J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 23, 325401 (2011)] discovered a low density, highly reactive metastable hexagonal 2H-Ag structure accessible during electrodeposition of silver nanowires in porous anodic alumina templates. This 2H-Ag structure has enhanced electrical and catalytic characteristics. In the present work we report template-free synthesis of silver nanoplates with the metastable 2H-Ag crystal structure, which appears together with the ground 3C-Ag and the metastable 4H-Ag structures in a two-phase solution synthesis with citric acid as the capping agent. The capacity of citric acid to stabilize both the stable and the metastable structures is explained by its preferential binding to the close packed facets of Ag crystals, which are the (111) planes for 3C-Ag and the (0001) planes for 4H-Ag and 2H-Ag. Nanoplate morphology and structure are characterized using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy. The synthesized nanoplates have thickness from 15 to 17 nm and edge length from 1 to 10 mu m. Transmission electron microscopy selected area electron diffraction is used to uniquely identify and distinguish between nanoplates with 2H-Ag or 4H-Ag or 3C-Ag structures.

AB We report the synthesis of a self organizable and water dispersible bis PEGylated (bis polyethyleneglycolated) curcumin (1) using an efficient synthetic method. Compound 1 forms nanoparticles on the order of 90 nm in water. Even though it forms nanoparticles, compound 1 interacts strongly with metal ions, Al+3, Cu+2, and Hg+2. Fluorescence and absorption spectroscopic techniques were employed to investigate the metal interactions of these nanoparticles. Al+3 and Cu+2 ions interact with compound 1 leading to enhancement and dramatic quenching in the fluorescence of the latter in 100% water, respectively. Addition of Hg+2 ions to compound 1 in water produces a ratiometric change in the absorption spectra of the nanoparticles. Although PEGylated curcumin derivatives were reported in the past, there have been no reports on their self organization into nanoparticles and extensive studies on their metal interaction properties in 100% water using its fluorescence and absorption properties.

   FACTOR-I; GLUCOSE-METABOLISM; INSULIN-RESISTANCE; SUGAR ABSORPTION;
   TASTE RECEPTORS; INNATE IMMUNITY
AB Parasitic enteric nematodes induce a type 2 immune response characterized by increased production of Th2 cytokines, IL-4 and IL-13, and recruitment of alternatively activated macrophages ( M2) to the site of infection. Nematode infection is associated with changes in epithelial permeability and inhibition of sodium-linked glucose absorption, but the role of M2 in these effects is unknown. Clodronate-containing liposomes were administered prior to and during nematode infection to deplete macrophages and prevent the development of M2 in response to infection with Nippostrongylus brasiliensis. The inhibition of epithelial glucose absorption that is associated with nematode infection involved a macrophage-dependent reduction in SGLT1 activity, with no change in receptor expression, and a macrophage-independent down-regulation of GLUT2 expression. The reduced transport of glucose into the enterocyte is compensated partially by an up-regulation of the constitutive GLUT1 transporter consistent with stress-induced activation of HIF-1 alpha. Thus, nematode infection results in a "lean" epithelial phenotype that features decreased SGLT1 activity, decreased expression of GLUT2 and an emergent dependence on GLUT1 for glucose uptake into the enterocyte. Macrophages do not play a role in enteric nematode infection-induced changes in epithelial barrier function. There is a greater contribution, however, of paracellular absorption of glucose to supply the energy demands of host resistance. These data provide further evidence of the ability of macrophages to alter glucose metabolism of neighboring cells.

TI Binding energetics of substitutional and interstitial helium and

AB The formation/binding energetics and length scales associated with the interaction between He atoms and grain boundaries in BCC alpha-Fe were explored. Ten different low R grain boundaries from the < 100 > and < 110 > symmetric tilt grain boundary systems were used. In this work, we then calculated formation/binding energies for 1-2 He atoms in the substitutional and interstitial sites (HeV, He2V, HeInt, He(2)Int) at all potential grain boundary sites within 15 angstrom of the boundary (52 826 simulations total). The present results provide detailed information about the interaction energies and length scales of 1-2 He atoms with grain boundaries for the structures examined. A number of interesting new findings emerge from the present study. For instance, the Sigma 3(112) twin boundary in BCC Fe possesses a much smaller binding energy than other boundaries, which corresponds in long time dynamics simulations to the ability of an interstitial He defect to break away from the boundary in simulations on the order of nanoseconds. Additionally, positive correlations between the calculated formation/binding energies of the He defects (R>0.9) asserts that the local environment surrounding each site strongly influences the He defect energies and that highly accurate quantum mechanics calculations of lower order defects may be an adequate predictor of higher order defects. Various metrics to quantify or classify the local environment were compared with the He defect binding energies. The present work shows that the binding and formation energies for He defects are important for understanding the physics of He diffusion and trapping by grain boundaries, which can be important for modeling He interactions in polycrystalline steels.

AB Background: A key goal for HIV-1 envelope immunogen design is the induction of cross-reactive neutralizing antibodies (nAbs). As AIDS vaccine recipients will not be exposed to strains exactly matching any immunogens due to multiple HIV-1 quasispecies circulating in the human population worldwide, heterologous SHIV challenges are essential for realistic vaccine efficacy testing in primates. We assessed whether polyclonal IgG, isolated from rhesus monkeys (RMs) with high-titer nAbs (termed SHIVIG), could protect RMs against the R5-tropic tier-2 SHIV-2873Nip, which was heterologous to the viruses or HIV-1 envelopes that had elicited SHIVIG.
   Results: SHIVIG demonstrated binding to HIV Gag, Tat, and Env of different clades and competed with the broadly neutralizing antibodies b12, VRC01, 4E10, and 17b. SHIVIG neutralized tier 1 and tier 2 viruses, including SHIV-2873Nip. NK-cell depletion decreased the neutralizing activity of SHIVIG 20-fold in PBMC assays. Although SHIVIG neutralized SHIV-2873Nip in vitro, this polyclonal IgG preparation failed to prevent acquisition after repeated intrarectal low-dose virus challenges, but at a dose of 400 mg/kg, it significantly lowered peak viremia (P = 0.001). Unexpectedly, single-genome analysis revealed a higher number of transmitted variants at the low dose of 25 mg/kg, implying increased acquisition at low SHIVIG levels. In vitro, SHIVIG demonstrated complement-mediated Ab-dependent enhancement of infection (C'-ADE) at concentrations similar to those observed in plasmas of RMs treated with 25 mg/kg of SHIVIG.
   Conclusion: Our primate model data suggest a dual role for polyclonal anti-HIV-1 Abs depending on plasma levels upon virus encounter.

AB Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) infection is often associated with pronounced liver damage. Previously, our studies revealed altered host phospho-signaling responses (NF kappa B, MAPK and DNA damage responses) in RVFV infected epithelial cells that correlated with a cellular stress response. Here, we report that RVFV infection of liver cells leads to an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS). Our data suggests the presence of the viral protein NSs in the mitochondria of infected cells, hence contributing to early increase in ROS. Increased ROS levels correlated with activation of NF kappa B (p65) and p53 responses, which in conjunction with infection, was also reflected as macromolecular rearrangements observed using size fractionation of protein lysates. Additionally, we documented an increase in cytokine expression and pro-apoptotic gene expression with infection, which was reversed with antioxidant treatment. Collectively, we identified ROS and oxidative stress as critical contributors to apoptosis of liver cells during RVFV infection. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

AB In recent years, the development of renewable bio-based resins has gained interest as potential replacements for petroleum based resins. Modified carbohydrate-based derivatives have favorable structural features such as fused bicyclic rings that offer promising candidates for the development of novel renewable polymers with improved thermomechanical properties when compared to early bio-based resins. Isosorbide is one such compound and has been utilized as the stiffness component for the synthesis of novel unsaturated polyesters (UPE) resins. Resin blends of BioUPE systems with styrene were shown to possess viscosities (120-2200 cP) amenable to a variety of liquid molding techniques, and after cure had T(g)s (53-107 degrees C) and storage moduli (430-1650 MPa) that are in the desired range for composite materials. These investigations show that BioUPEs containing isosorbide can be tailored during synthesis of the prepolymer to meet the needs of different property profiles. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

ID OF-FREEDOM MODELS; DIAGRAMS
AB Recent research led to the development of lightweight, rapidly erected, structural wall panels constructed from solid sawn 2 x 4 softwood lumber studs and plywood sheathing coated in e-glass reinforcing. The objective of this study was to experimentally and numerically assess the dynamic blast response of these FRP-reinforced wood panels and explore the development of pressure-impulse (PI) diagrams based on a maximum deflection damage criterion. The results of five different field blast tests on the wall panels are reported. Laboratory pseudo-static bending tests of panels under fully reversed loading were performed to determine the panel's load-deformation properties. A hysteretic load-deformation model was calibrated to the blast and pseudo-static bend data and used in a nonlinear, numerically integrated SDOF dynamic response model. PI diagrams were generated using both linear and nonlinear dynamic analysis. The results of this study indicate that the blast response of the wall panels can be reasonably represented with a nonlinear SDOF dynamic model. However, the model results are sensitive to the parameters of the, hysteretic model. The results also indicate that PI diagrams are a potentially valuable tool for assessing damage under a variety of blast loads. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved,

AB Despite substantial investments by government, philanthropic, and commercial sources over the past several decades, traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains an unmet medical need and a major source of disability and mortality in both developed and developing societies. The U.S. Department of Defense neurotrauma research portfolio contains more than 500 research projects funded at more than $700 million and is aimed at developing interventions that mitigate the effects of trauma to the nervous system and lead to improved quality of life outcomes. A key area of this portfolio focuses on the need for effective pharmacological approaches for treating patients with TBI and its associated symptoms. The Neurotrauma Pharmacology Workgroup was established by the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC) with the overarching goal of providing a strategic research plan for developing pharmacological treatments that improve clinical outcomes after TBI. To inform this plan, the Workgroup (a) assessed the current state of the science and ongoing research and (b) identified research gaps to inform future development of research priorities for the neurotrauma research portfolio. The Workgroup identified the six most critical research priority areas in the field of pharmacological treatment for persons with TBI. The priority areas represent parallel efforts needed to advance clinical care; each requires independent effort and sufficient investment. These priority areas will help the USAMRMC and other funding agencies strategically guide their research portfolios to ensure the development of effective pharmacological approaches for treating patients with TBI.

AB We have used magnetron sputtering to deposit magnesium and titanium layers alternately onto a single-crystal silicon substrate with equal individual layer thickness (h, from 2.5 to 200 nm) to form multilayers. We have investigated the mechanical behavior of the multilayers and its dependence on h. Transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analyses suggest that the multilayers exhibit strong texture with respect to Mg (0 0 0 2) and Ti (0 0 0 2) with an epitaxial growth pattern. Two primary orientation relationships between Ti and Mg have been identified, depending on h. Instrumented nanoindentation and microcompression have been used to examine the hardness/strength and the strain rate sensitivity of the multilayers. Based on nanoindentation, we have found that the strength of these multilayers generally increases as h is decreased. The microcompression measured strength is remarkably higher than that derived from indentation. The Hall-Petch law can be used to interpret the increase in strength at relatively large h (>50 nm), while the confined layer slip model provides a better explanation for the relationship between strength and h at smaller h. We have also attempted to present an in-depth discussion about the applicability of relevant strengthening mechanisms on these hexagonal close-packed/hexagonal close-packed multilayers.

AB The present work is concerned with the effect of cation exchange, with calcium, aluminum and cupric cations, on the permeation kinetics of dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP) in a pentablock ionomer (Nexar (TM)) and a perfluoroionomer (Nafion (TM)). The diffusion constant was determined by matching a Fickian solution to early time data, with a zero-time shift, initially attributed to the effect of immobilization. The diffusion time-lag relation was applied in an expanded form to include contributions of immobilization and relaxation. The primary effect of cation exchange was a marked reduction in diffusion constant and introduction of significant relaxation. The effects were explored in a two step procedure in which the sample was first exposed to DMMP vapor at activity 0.6 and then at activity 0.8. In cation modified Nexar at the lower activity the delay in onset of permeation was due solely to immobilization. The delay was absent at the higher activity, indicating that extent of immobilization was unchanged with increased concentration, but approach to steady state was still relaxation controlled. In cation modified Nafion delay in onset of permeation was dominated by relaxation, but kinetics at the higher activity was essentially Fickian. The strong relaxation effects appear to be a consequence of cation modification, which results in a network of ionic crosslinks formed by multivalent cation-sulfonate interactions. The combined analytical and experimental procedure developed in this study provided a systematic set of values for the effect of cation exchange and ionomer characteristics on parameters controlling DMMP permeation kinetics.

AB We have investigated thermal and mechanical properties of bio-based furan polyamides and petroleum-based nylons with atomistic simulations. Glass transition temperatures estimated from a series of simulations at different temperatures were in good agreement with experimental measurements. Stress -strain relationships under uniaxial deformation conditions were also obtained and analyzed. Overall, polymers with smaller repeat units exhibited slightly higher glass transition temperatures and elastic moduli, which were attributed to higher cohesive energy densities. Furan polyamides displayed higher van der Waals cohesive energy densities and maintained more rigid planar structures near furan rings compared to nylons. As a result, bio-based furan polyamides showed higher glass transition temperatures and comparable mechanical properties despite having overall weaker hydrogen bonding than nylons.

AB Different models for aluminum oxynitride (AlON) were calculated using density functional theory and optimized using an evolutionary algorithm. Evolutionary algorithm and density functional theory (DFT) calculations starting from several models of AlON with different Al or O vacancy locations and different positions for the N atoms relative to the vacancy were carried out. The results show that the constant anion model [McCauley et al., J. Eur. Ceram. Soc. 29(2), 223 (2009)] with a random distribution of N atoms not adjacent to the Al vacancy has the lowest energy configuration. The lowest energy structure is in a reasonable agreement with experimental X-ray diffraction spectra. The optimized structure of a 55 atom unit cell was used to construct 220 and 440 atom models for simulation cells using DFT with a Gaussian basis set. Cubic elastic constant predictions were found to approach the experimentally determined AlON single crystal elastic constants as the model size increased from 55 to 440 atoms. The pressure dependence of the elastic constants found from simulated stress-strain relations were in overall agreement with experimental measurements of polycrystalline and single crystal AlON. Calculated IR intensity and Raman spectra are compared with available experimental data.

AB We develop a nonlinear thermodynamic model for multilayer ferroelectric heterostructures that takes into account electrostatic and electromechanical interactions between layers. We concentrate on the effect of relative layer fractions and in-plane thermal stresses on dielectric properties of Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3-, BaTiO3-, and PbZr0.2Ti0.8O3 (PZT)-SrTiO3 (STO) multilayers on Si and c-sapphire. We show that dielectric properties of such multilayers can be significantly enhanced by tailoring the growth/processing temperature and the STO layer fraction. Our computations show that large tunabilities (similar to 90% at 400 kV/cm) are possible in carefully designed barium strontium titanate-STO and PZT-STO even on Si for which there exist substantially large in-plane strains.

AB The quasi-static mechanical properties and ballistic impact performance of several discontinuous ceramic fiber (Saffil) reinforced Al-2% Cu metal matrix composites (MMC) are characterized. The ballistic penetration resistance of the materials are determined against a fragment simulating projectile and compared to the performance of the baseline matrix alloy. Digital image correlation with high speed photography is used to measure the full field deflection of the materials during impact. Mechanical behavior and post-mortem fracture analysis are used to relate material properties to performance in penetrating and non-penetrating impact events. It is demonstrated that the MMC materials exhibit a strong asymmetry in their tensile and compressive responses. The MMC materials are stronger in compression and the asymmetry in response increases with increasing volume fraction of fiber. It was found that the ballistic performance (V-50(BL)) decreases when the volume fraction of fiber is greater than 3% due to the decrease in tensile strain to failure at higher volume fractions. In non-penetrating impacts the increased stiffness and strength with higher volume fractions greatly reduces the magnitude and distribution of plate deflection. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.

AB We present polarization images of Comet ISON (C/2012 S1) taken with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) on UTC 2013 May 8 (r(h) = 3.81 AU, Delta = 4.34 AU), when the phase angle was alpha approximate to 12.degrees 16. This phase angle is approximately centered in the negative polarization branch for cometary dust. The region beyond 1000 km (similar to 0.32 arcsec approximate to 6 pixels) from the nucleus shows a negative polarization amplitude of p% similar to -1.6%. Within 1000 km of the nucleus, the polarization position angle rotates to be approximately perpendicular to the scattering plane, with an amplitude p% similar to +2.5%. Such positive polarization has been observed previously as a characteristic feature of cometary jets, and we show that Comet ISON does indeed harbor a jet-like feature. These HST observations of Comet ISON represent the first visible light, imaging polarimetry with subarcsecond spatial resolution of a Nearly Isotropic Comet beyond 3.8 AU from the Sun at a small phase angle. The observations provide an early glimpse of the properties of the cometary dust preserved in this Oort-Cloud comet.

AB Plane wave density functional theory (DFT) was used to study the adsorption of 5-nitro-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one (NTO), an insensitive high performance explosive material, on Al-terminated (0001) surface of (4 X 4) alpha-Al2O3 using the PBE, PBEsol, BLIP, and recently developed van der Waals functional (vdW-DF2) within the Generalized Gradient Approximation. The interactions of valence electrons with atomic cores were approximated using the ultrasoft pseudopotentials. Various orientations of NTO with respect to the alumina surface were considered. It was revealed that the carbonyl site of NTO binds more strongly than the nitro group site with the surface aluminum ion. Important information revealed from the present investigation was that NTO undergoes dissociative adsorption on the Al-terminated alpha-alumina surface. During this process, both the carbonyl oxygen and the nitro oxygen are involved in binding with surface Al ions and a proton from the N4 site of the adsorbate (NTO) is dissociated and migrated to nearby surface oxygen site forming an OH bond. Consequently, the NTO adsorbed on the alumina surface is in the anionic form. Further, consequent to the adsorption, the interacting surface Al-atoms are pulled up toward the NTO with respect to the plane containing the rest of the Al atoms. Moreover, an analysis of charge density difference maps suggested a buildup of charge density in the NTO-alumina bonding region, indicating covalent nature of adsorption on the Al-terminated (0001) surface of alpha-alumina.

TI Tafenoquine and NPC-1161B require CYP 2D metabolism for anti-malarial
   activity: implications for the 8-aminoquinoline class of anti-malarial
   compounds

   REGIMENS; ERYTHROCYTES
AB Background: Tafenoquine (TQ) is an 8-aminoquinoline (8AQ) that has been tested in several Phase II and Phase III clinical studies and is currently in late stage development as an anti-malarial prophylactic agent. NPC-1161B is a promising 8AQ in late preclinical development. It has recently been reported that the 8AQ drug primaquine requires metabolic activation by CYP 2D6 for efficacy in humans and in mice, highlighting the importance of pharmacogenomics in the target population when administering primaquine. A logical follow-up study was to determine whether CYP 2D activation is required for other compounds in the 8AQ structural class.
   Methods: In the present study, the anti-malarial activities of NPC-1161B and TQ were assessed against luciferase expressing Plasmodium berghei in CYP 2D knock-out mice in comparison with normal C57BL/6 mice (WT) and with humanized/CYP 2D6 knock-in mice by monitoring luminescence with an in vivo imaging system. These experiments were designed to determine the direct effects of CYP 2D metabolic activation on the anti-malarial efficacy of NPC-1161B and TQ.
   Results: NPC-1161B and TQ exhibited no anti-malarial activity in CYP 2D knock-out mice when dosed at their ED100 values (1 mg/kg and 3 mg/kg, respectively) established in WT mice. TQ anti-malarial activity was partially restored in humanized/CYP 2D6 knock-in mice when tested at two times its ED100.
   Conclusions: The results reported here strongly suggest that metabolism of NPC-1161B and TQ by the CYP 2D enzyme class is essential for their anti-malarial activity. Furthermore, these results may provide a possible explanation for therapeutic failures for patients who do not respond to 8AQ treatment for relapsing malaria. Because CYP 2D6 is highly polymorphic, variable expression of this enzyme in humans represents a significant pharmacogenomic liability for 8AQs which require CYP 2D metabolic activation for efficacy, particularly for large-scale prophylaxis and eradication campaigns.

AB Biofilm formation by pathogenic bacteria is an important virulence factor in the development of numerous chronic infections, thereby causing a severe health burden. Many of these infections cannot be resolved, as bacteria in biofilms are resistant to the host's immune defenses and antibiotic therapy. An urgent need for new strategies to treat biofilm-based infections is critically needed. Cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP) is a widely conserved second-messenger signal essential for biofilm formation. The absence of this signalling system in higher eukaryotes makes it an attractive target for the development of new anti-biofilm agents. In this study, the results of an in silico pharmacophore-based screen to identify small-molecule inhibitors of diguanylate cyclase (DGC) enzymes that synthesize c-di-GMP are described. Four small molecules, LP 3134, LP 3145, LP 4010 and LP 1062 that antagonize these enzymes and inhibit biofilm formation by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii in a continuous-flow system are reported. All four molecules dispersed P. aeruginosa biofilms and inhibited biofilm development on urinary catheters. One molecule dispersed A. baumannii biofilms. Two molecules displayed no toxic effects on eukaryotic cells. These molecules represent the first compounds identified from an in silico screen that are able to inhibit DGC activity to prevent biofilm formation.

AB The herbicide 2,4-D (2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid) has been used to control the nonnative aquatic plant Eurasian watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum; EWM) since the 1950s. Although published research evaluates the herbicide's predicted and observed concentration and exposure times in both laboratory and field settings, few data are available evaluating selectivity and long-term efficacy as well as herbicide concentration behavior following large-scale, whole-lake applications. A controlled study was conducted on 2 adjacent oligo-mesotrophic northern Wisconsin lakes to determine the potential efficacy and selectivity of large-scale and low-dose 2,4-D applications. Initial 2,4-D concentrations in both treated lakes were approximately 100g/L higher than the nominal lakewide targets of 500 and 275g/L, respectively, and the herbicide dissipated and degraded more slowly than predicted. A lakewide regression model relating 2,4-D concentration at monitoring sites to days after treatment (DAT) found the mean half-life of 2,4-D to be 34-41 DAT, and the threshold for irrigation of plants not labeled for direct treatment with 2,4-D (<100g/L) was not met until 50-93 DAT. In the lake treated at the higher 2,4-D rate, EWM was not detected for 3 consecutive years posttreatment. Additionally, several native monocotyledon and dicotyledon species also showed sustained significant declines posttreatment. This study is the first to link field-collected 2,4-D concentration measurements to selectivity and long-term efficacy in EWM control following whole-lake management efforts. Although multiyear EWM control was achieved with these single low-dose applications, longer than expected herbicide persistence and impacts to native plants demonstrate the challenges facing aquatic plant managers and the need for additional field studies.

AB The effectiveness of an active shutter-glasses stereoscopic display (SD) and a passive polarised SD was evaluated in a live robot-teleoperation task and a simulated indirect-vision driving task in various terrains. Overall, participants completed their tasks significantly faster with the SDs in three-dimensional (3D) mode than with the SDs in the baseline 2D mode. They also navigated more accurately with the SDs in 3D mode. When the effectiveness of the two types of SDs was examined separately, results showed that the active shutter-glasses SD resulted in faster responses and task completion times than the passive polarised SD, though most of the differences failed to reach statistical significance. Perceived workload when interacting with the two SD systems did not differ significantly between the active versus passive display types or between the 3D and 2D modes of operation; however, participants reported more severe discomfort after interacting with the passive polarised SD. Practitioner Summary: This study demonstrated the utility of SDs for enhancing operators' navigation-related performance. The results furthered the understanding of the differential effectiveness of an active stereoscopic system versus a passive system. The findings will facilitate the implementation of stereoscopic systems for robotics control and indirect-vision driving in military settings.

AB Soviet satellites in 1957 galvanised air force interest in defending and exploiting aerospace' as an extended realm of operations. The Dynamic Soarer glider programme, catapulted to significance by air force reaction to Sputnik, became the standard bearer for aerospace thought in the late 1950s. Dwight Eisenhower's administration, however, did not see the weaponisation of space as inevitable or desirable. Convinced that public insistence for visible space accomplishments made elimination or cuts to projects politically difficult, Eisenhower's administration used organisational decisions and policy strictures to impede development of the Dyna-Soar and to prevent aerospace paladins from commandeering US space policy.

AB In an attempt to develop a verification and validation standard for building fire evacuation models, Ronchi et al. (2013) at the United States' National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recommended a set of seventeen verification tests. We found that the application of these verification tests allowed us to make rather significant improvements to our simulation code (PEDFLOW) for approximately half of the recommended tests (Table 1). In some cases, we added capabilities that did not exist before. In other cases, we found anomalous behaviors and adjusted the existing code to remove these unexplained behaviors. This paper summarizes the work on the verification tests, highlighting the lessons learned and modifications made. We also discuss some modifications we recommend to the NIST verification tests, as well as demonstrate how to make these tests suitable for all pedestrian flow models (not just building fire evacuation).

AB Researchers at the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) collected occupant egress data in the stairwells of several high-rise buildings for potential use in quantitative and qualitative validation of evacuation simulation tools (Kuligowski and Peacock (2010)). We found this data suitable for establishing occupant initial locations, pre-evacuation time distributions, and other parametric inputs for our simulation code (PEDFLOW). With this data set, we were able to validate several core behavioral components of PEDFLOW by directly comparing actual versus predicted values for occupant speed on stairs and building total evacuation times. This paper summarizes our work on the stairwell data sets, highlighting the methodology behind the extraction of values for the parametric inputs, and demonstrating the results obtained for one specific 10-story high-rise building data-set.

AB Protein encapsulated gold nanocluster (P-AuNC) synthesis was first demonstrated in 2009.[1] Initially these P-AuNCs were used as cellular imaging agents as the protein shell surrounding the AuNC made them highly biocompatible. However, recent studies have begun to show that these stabilizing proteins may also retain native biological function thus giving a dual functionality to these hybrid molecules. Here we present the synthesis of DNase 1 stabilized gold nanoclusters (DNase 1:AuNCs) with core sizes consisting either 8 or 25 atoms. The DNase 1:Au8NCs exhibit blue fluorescence whereas the DNase 1:Au25NCs are red emitting. Moreover, in addition to the intense fluorescence emission; the synthesized DNase 1: AuNC hybrid retain the native functionality of the protein, allowing simultaneous detection and digestion of DNA with a detection limit of 2 mu g/mL (Scheme 1). The DNase 1:AuNCs could be conveniently employed as efficient and fast sensors to augment the current inefficient and time consuming DNA contamination analysis techniques.

AB Nickel-zinc ferrite nanoparticles with compositions of NixZn1-xFe2O4, where x = 0.1 - 0.9, were synthesized using a water-based precipitation technique. These nanoparticles were then calcined at high temperature to improve crystallinity and were characterized to determine their magnetic and dielectric properties. After selecting the synthesized composition with the most favorable magnetodielectric properties and dispersing it into a polymer matrix, we can tailor the permeability and permittivity based on the fraction of filler loading. The nanoparticles and nanocomposites were characterized using standard technologies for structural, physical, and electromagnetic properties.

DE Thermophone; Carbon Nanotube thin film loudspeaker
AB Super-aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) thin films offer the capability to be placed into compact lightweight sound sources for active noise control, loudspeaker, or other acoustic applications. The super-aligned CNT films generate thermoacoustically induced oscillations to generate sound. This occurs through the use of a dynamic signal, such as applying an alternating current in the audio frequency range to the thin film. This mechanism is carried out through joule heating which heats the air above the surface, thereby producing sound waves from periodic air vibration. Here, we report an investigation of the sound pressure and thermal properties of advanced carbon nanotube thin films with an emphasis to address the signal distortion issue.

ID BORON-NITRIDE; COPPER; FILMS
AB Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials, including graphene and boron nitride (BN), have been of intense interest in recent years due to their exceptional electronic, thermal, and mechanical properties. Tailoring these novel properties to their maximum potential requires precise control of the atomic layer growth process. In recent years, catalytic growth of 2-D nanomaterials using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process has emerged as an attractive approach due to their low-cost, scalalibility, and ability to transfer the grown materials on various substrates. In this approach, the morphology and purity of the catalytic surface plays a critical role on the shape, size, and growth kintectics of the 2D nanomaterial. In this work, we present the results of our systematic studies of the role of catalytic surface morphology on the shape and domain size of CVD grown hexagonal (h)-BN films. The present work clearly demonstrates that the presence of surface roghness in the form of ridges leads to a preferential growth of small-domain triangular BN sheets. A 100-fold reduction in the surfcae roughness leads to increased domain BN triangles, eventually transitioning to large-domain hexagonal shaped BN sheets.

ID TIME-DEPENDENCE; SIO2
AB In this work, we use density functional theory-based calculations to study the hole trapping properties of single carbon-related defects in silicon dioxide. We show that such interstitials are stable in the carboxyl configuration, where the interstitial carbon atom remains three-fold coordinated with chemical bonds to two Si atoms and an oxygen atom (Si-[C=O]-Si). Using formation energy calculations, we observed a +2 to neutral charge transition level for carboxyl defect within the 4H-SiC bandgap. This leads us to propose that carboxyl defects are likely to act as switching oxide border hole traps in the oxide and contribute to threshold voltage instabilities in a 4H-SiC MOSFET. Thus, we provide an additional candidate to the traditional oxygen vacancy hole traps in 4H-SiC MOS systems. The atomic structures of the defect in various charge states are presented. The stability-providing mechanism for the carboxyl defect in the doubly positive state is found to be the puckering of the Si atom, as in the case of positively charged oxygen vacancy hole traps.

AB Rapid but informed decision-making capabilities at lower echelons are fast becoming a necessity in many coalition operations due to the dynamism associated with such environments. In this paper we investigate technologies to assist CoIST (Company Intelligence Support Team) users operating at the network edge in support of military operations. Through an integration experiment we illustrate the impact of such technologies in rapid decision-making situations. The paper describes the technology integration experiment in the context of a vignette and shows how a natural language conversational interface between human and machine agents in a hybrid team is used. The system can capture local information reporting, infer high value information based on background knowledge, automatically raise intelligence tracking tasks and match, rank and propose appropriate assets to tasks, taking into account contextual factors such as environmental and the distributed network conditions. The approach utilizes ontology-based resource matching capabilities and uses a Controlled Natural Language as a human-friendly - but machine processable language that is expressive enough to serve as a single common format for both human and machine processing. This capability is designed to operate in a lightweight distributed environment at the edge of the network.

AB Tracking of airborne vehicles using distributed acoustic arrays is considered here. Three tetrahedral acoustic arrays are distributed over roughly 1.5 sq. miles area to track a helicopter. The bearing angles are estimated at the significant harmonics of the fundamental frequency of the helicopter rotor using multiple signal classification (MUSIC). Some of the issues using the bearing estimates at lower harmonics are discussed. The altitude of the helicopter is estimated by fusing the covariances from all three arrays and performing MUSIC on them. An extended Kalman filter is used to track the helicopter and the tracking results are presented.

AB A finite point process approach to multi-shooter localization from gunfire events is presented. After modeling the measurements as a Poisson point process, we propose a twofold scheme that includes an expectation maximization algorithm to estimate the target locations for a given number of targets and an information theoretic algorithm to select the number of targets. The proposed localization scheme does not require solving the data association problem and can account for clutter noise as well as missed detections. The optimal subpattern assignment metric is used to assess the performance and accuracy of the proposed localization algorithm. Implementation of the proposed algorithm on experimental data yields desirable results.

ID REPUTATION
AB Agents may cooperate by communicating their opinions about various phenomena. These opinions are then fused by agents and used for informed decision-making. However, fusing opinions from diverse sources is not trivial - especially in open multiagent systems - where it is not possible to ensure that the sources are honest and their opinions are not misleading. In this paper, we propose a novel approach that exploits consistencies and conflicts between personal observations and shared information to derive trust evidence for information sources. Based on the derived evidence, we describe how opinions from diverse sources can be fused. We have evaluated our approach for trust estimation and opinion fusion using a service selection scenario. Through extensive simulations, we have shown that our approach significantly outperforms the existing trust-based information fusion approaches.

AB This work examines the extension of a recently developed single target acoustic localization system to multiple targets. Multiple passive sensors distributed in a region of space will detect the acoustic signal of multiple gunfire events and measure the bearing to the event as well as the time the signal was detected. In order to alleviate the data association problem, an assignment-based method was developed in order to associate measurements at a fusion center, which will provide estimates of the multiple shooter locations. The assignment based approach is shown to localize multiple closely spaced shooters with a high degree of accuracy.

AB In this paper, we present a unique study of two successful methods for computing message reliability. The first. method is based on machine learning and attempts to find a predictive model based on network features. This method is generally geared towards assessing credibility of messages and is able to generate high recall results. The second method is based on a maximum likelihood formulation and attempts to find messages that are corroborated by independent and reliable sources. This method is geared towards finding facts in which humans are treated as binary sensors and is expected to generate high accuracy results but only for those facts that have higher level of corroboration. We show that these two methods can point to similar or quite different predictions depending on the underlying data set. We then illustrate how they can be fused to capture the trade off between favoring true versus credible messages which can either be opinions or not necessarily verifiable.

AB In this paper we review the problem of packet loss as it pertains to Network Intrusion Detection, seeking to answer two fundamental research questions which are stepping stones towards building a model that can be used to predict the rate of alert loss based upon the rate of packet loss. The first question deals with how the packet loss rate affects the sensor alert rate, and the second considers how the network traffic composition affects the results of the first question. Potential places where packet loss may occur are examined by dividing the problem into network, host, and sensor based packets loss. We posit theories about how packet loss may present itself and develop the Packet Dropper that induces packet loss into a dataset. Drop rates ranging from 0% to 100% are applied to four different data sets and the resulting abridged data sets are analyzed with Snort to collect alert loss rate. Conclusions are drawn about the importance of the distribution of packet loss and the effect of the network traffic composition.

Two energy detection criteria are required to select an unoccupied frequency: 1) the energy of an unoccupied frequency must be below a predetermined threshold; 2) the sum of energy surrounding an unoccupied frequency must be below a predetermined threshold. The proposed method eliminates regions, or clusters, within the frequency band containing high energy. The accuracy and computational complexity of the proposed method is compared to a preexisting technique.

AB This paper introduces the MARCO POLO Algorithm (MPA) that uses wireless discovery and control signals from a Master Control Node (MCN) with a cognitive engine to learn the relative location and orientation of a randomly distributed set of array elements. The elements are then synchronized and instructed to apply appropriate magnitude and phase offsets to collectively radiate as an array with beamforming capability. Unlike conventional discovery algorithms, MARCO POLO does not assume any a priori information about the array elements, does not rely on reference beacons, and works without GPS. With this algorithm, sensor nodes can be placed around the periphery of a complex enclosure, such as a vehicle, aircraft, or building and then self-organize into a distributed array with no wired connectivity.

AB Spiral antennas can be designed to cover decades of bandwidth (e.g. 350-8350 MHz). Connecting the antenna directly to the coaxial cable without a balun would reduce fabrication costs without sacrificing realized gain. This paper shows how two-arm spiral antennas can be designed to have a broadband impedance close to 50 Ohms, rather than the traditional 180 Ohms, without the need to make and attach a balun.

AB Recently, metamaterials have become a research topic of considerable interest, because these artificially constructed materials allow for the realization of exotic electromagnetic properties not found in conventional materials. This paper introduces a novel antenna enhancing structure consisting of capacitively loaded loop (CLL) metamaterial elements placed radially around a standard dipole antenna at an electrically small distance. As a result of this novel arrangement, the dipole antenna is easily transformed into a directive mechanically scanned antenna with high realized gain. The desired directivity and gain can be tuned based on the number of radial CLL fins placed around the dipole. Interactions between the antenna and metamaterial elements result in significant enhancement of the maximum radiated field amplitude and front-to-back ratio. The structures presented are modeled using full-wave simulation and one is experimentally verified as a proof-of-concept.

AB A novel power divider/combiner concept is presented and demonstrated at Ka-band. The new offset-divider/combiner concept provides reflection cancelation, and 1-to-N or N:/1 (arbitrary N, including odd numbers) splitting or summing with equal or unequal power division/summation. Additionally, it has inherently low loss due to its use of low impedance transmission lines. It can be implemented in most technologies (microstrip, CPW, stripline, waveguide, etc.). In this paper, the new concept is demonstrated with a 27-33 GHz divider/combiner using microstrip technology. The bandwidth can be easily expanded to cover an octave.

AB The mitigation of in-band interference from co-located emitters is an increasingly important problem in commercial and military wireless communications systems design. In this work, we present a co-located interference mitigation approach that is targeted for scenarios in which the interfering signal is received at an extremely high power and the delay between the received (over-the-air) and reference (wired) copies of the interferer is not negligible. Such scenarios are common in military applications (e.g., simultaneous jamming and communications). The proposed Joint Analog and Digital Interference Cancellation (JADIC) system is self-configuring and can provide over 100 dB of suppression of wide band and narrowband jammers.

AB The effects of severe thermal- and pressure-transients on coated substrates with indentation-induced, blister defects were analyzed using experimental and finite-element methods. An explicit FEA approach was first used to assess the transient thermal- and stress-states and the propensity for fracture related damage and evolution, under uniform convection and pressure transients across the surface; cohesive zone properties were evaluated in a previous study before being applied in an implicit indentation simulation. The indentation simulation results then served as the initial conditions for explicit modeling of interfacial flaw evolution due to thermal and pressure transients. Various conditions were analyzed including thermal and gun tube boundary conditions, and the effects of coating thermal capacitance. Given the need for robust coatings, the experimental and modeling procedures explored by this study will have important ramifications for coated tube design.

AB This contribution discusses a multi-physics simulation engine, called Chrono, that relies heavily on parallel computing. Chrono aims at simulating the dynamics of systems containing rigid bodies, flexible (compliant) bodies, and fluid-rigid body interaction. To this end, it relies on five modules: equation formulation (modeling), equation solution (simulation), collision detection support, domain decomposition for parallel computing, and post-processing analysis with emphasis on high quality rendering/visualization. For each component we point out how parallel CPU and/or GPU computing have been leveraged to allow for the simulation of applications with millions of degrees of freedom such as rover dynamics on granular terrain, fluid-structure interaction problems, or large-scale flexible body dynamics with friction and contact for applications in polymer analysis.

AB We have recently proposed a new method for combined design optimization and calibration-based validation using a sequential approach with variable-size local domains of the design space and statistical bootstrap techniques. Our work was motivated by the fact that model validation in the entire design space may be neither affordable nor necessary. The method proceeds iteratively by obtaining test data at a design point, constructing around it a local domain in which the model is considered valid, and optimizing the design within this local domain. Due to test variability, it is important to know how many tests are needed to size each local domain of the sequential optimization process. Conducting an unnecessarily large number of tests may be inefficient, while a small number of tests may be insufficient to achieve the desired validity level. In this paper, we introduce a technique to determine the number of tests required to account for their variability by sizing the local domains accordingly. The goal is to achieve a desired level of model validation in each domain using the correlation between model data at the center and any other point in the local domain. The proposed technique is illustrated by means of a piston design example.

AB The definition of reliability may not be readily applicable for repairable systems. Our recent work has shown that multiple metrics are needed to fully account for the performance of a repairable system under uncertainty. Optimal tradeoffs among a minimal set of metrics can be used in the design and maintenance of these systems. A minimal set of metrics provides the most information about the system with the smallest number of metrics using a set of desirable properties. Critical installations such as a remote microgrid powering a military installation require a careful consideration of cost and repair strategies. This is because of logistical challenges in performing repairs and supplying necessary spare parts, particularly in unsafe locations. This paper shows how a minimal set of metrics enhances decision making in such a scenario. It enables optimal tradeoffs between critical attributes in decision making, while guaranteeing that all important performance measures are satisfied. As a result, cost targets and inventory planning can be achieved in an optimal way. We demonstrate the value of the proposed approach using a US Army smart-charging microgrid installation.

AB Spiral bevel gears are widely used in the tail rotor drive trains of most rotorcraft. The loads associated with the tail rotor drive train are generally much more variable than those in the main rotor drive train primarily resulting from maneuvers. Over the life of any particular military rotorcraft it is not uncommon for the aircraft's operating gross weight to steadily increase, causing the aircraft to fly at higher mean power levels and thus increasing the operating load spectrum associated with the tail rotor drive train. Special missions and equipment such as pulling a mine sweeping sled or very high altitude high gross weight assaults can put severe load demands on the tail drive train. This paper details an effort conducted to evaluate the effects of short to moderate duration overloads on the spiral bevel gears of the UH-60 helicopter tail rotor drive train. The focus of the effort was on the Tail Take-off gear mesh (TTO). An initial analytical assessment of the effect of loads above the endurance limit was conducted using an American Gear Manufacturers Association (AGMA) based approach. To confirm the validity of this approach, overload testing of the TTO gear mesh was conducted by the U.S. Army's Aviation Applied Technology Directorate at the Navy's test facility in Paxtuent River MD. Following the testing, the gear tooth bending and surface fatigue lives were analyzed using a microstructure based probabilistic tool developed by Sentient Corporation. The tool, known as Digital Clone was able to run hundreds of virtual tests that closely simulated the actual testing thus providing a low cost method for increasing the confidence associated with the effects of short to moderate high transient loads.

AB Seeded fault experiments were conducted on the planetary stage of an OH-58C helicopter transmission. Two vibration based methods are discussed that isolate the dynamics of the sun gear from that of the planet gears, bearings, input spiral bevel stage, and other components in and around the gearbox. Three damaged sun gears: two spalled and one cracked, serve as the focus of this current work. A non-sequential vibration separation algorithm was developed and the resulting signals analyzed. The second method uses only the time synchronously averaged data but takes advantage of the signal/source mapping required for vibration separation. Both algorithms were successful in identifying the spall damage. Sun gear damage was confirmed by the presence of sun mesh groups. The sun tooth crack condition was inconclusive.

AB Accurately aiming and firing a pistol requires a steady hand. While many devices can steady a shooter's arm or hand by restricting movement or degrees-of-freedom, few devices actively reduce involuntary tremors while allowing larger voluntary aiming movements. This paper details the design and fabrication of an arm exoskeleton that can actively damp arm tremors while allowing voluntary aiming movements. The device allows five degrees-of-freedom and is very lightweight due to its cable-driven architecture and use of carbon fiber composite materials. Tremorous movement is filtered out from voluntary motion, and an adaptive algorithm provides a tremor-cancelling signal to the cable control motors.

AB The United States Army began developing Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV) in the early 1900's. Concurrently, researchers developed and enhanced passenger and commercial ground vehicles. Although significant progress has been made for improving vehicle mobility for all ground vehicles throughout the past century, mobility has lacked a concise mutually agreed definition and analytical standardized criteria. The implementations of improved technologies, such as vehicle traction control, stability control, and torque vectoring systems require researchers to take a step back and reevaluate mobility criteria. UGVs require additional enhancement to include on-line mobility estimation since the vehicle cannot predict nor anticipate terrain conditions on their own prior to the vehicle traversing those conditions.
   This paper analyzes methodologies researchers have employed for defining and improving vehicle mobility of wheeled vehicles. The analysis is done from a view point of concurrent mobility methodologies' enhancement and applicability to wheeled UGVs.
   This analysis is then used to develop off-line and on-line analytical criterion for mobility estimation, and to derive a strategy which can be applied to wheeled vehicles, both manned and unmanned. The on-line mobility estimation enables the UGV to make control changes as the events occur rather than after the event, causing the vehicle to then optimize its reaction to regain control.

AB Flapping wing air vehicles offer many useful flight characteristics due to their versatility, as proven by flying animals. Wing design significantly influences the performance. However designing successful wings presents significant challenges. Efficient matching of the drive motors to the flapping wings is necessary to overcome the highly constrained weight budget. Simulating detailed information about the force response due to flapping is challenging due to complex fluid-structural interactions of the wings resulting in non-linear force response to flapping motion. To overcome this challenge, we conducted an experimental study of flapping wings to provide detailed temporal force response data for flapping wings. A prototype was built by synthesizing lightweight manufacturing techniques with the results of the experimental study. Our experimental investigations enabled us to select the flapping angle range and flapping frequency.

AB A study of gas turbine engines is an important component of an integrated thermodynamics and fluid mechanics two-course sequence at the United States Military Academy (USMA). Owing to the ubiquity of gas turbines in military use, graduating cadets will encounter a variety of these engines throughout their military careers. Especially for this unique population, it is important for engineering students to be familiar with the operation and applications of gas turbines. Experimental analysis of a functional auxiliary power unit (APU) from an Army utility helicopter has been a key component of this block of instruction for several decades. As with all laboratory equipment, the APU has experienced intermittent maintenance issues, which occasionally render it unusable for the gas turbine laboratory in the course. Because of this, a very basic virtual laboratory was implemented which integrated video of the physical laboratory with key parameters and behind-the-screen data collection for use in engine analysis.
   A revitalized version of both the physical and virtual gas turbine laboratory experiences offered in the thermal-fluids course will include substantial improvements over the existing setup. The physical laboratory, which is centered on a refurbished APU from a medium-sized commercial aircraft, will continue to incorporate measurements of temperature and pressure throughout the combustion process, as well as fuel flow rate. In an improvement over the original laboratory setup, an orifice plate will be used to measure the flow rate of bleed air exiting the turbine, which had not previously been open during engine testing. Additionally, the air flow through the anti-surge valve was not metered in the original version of the physical laboratory. However, the anti-surge air flow can account for nearly 25% of the total air flow, and performance calculations in the physical laboratory will now account for this loss. The turbine output shaft will run a water-brake dynamometer. All instrumentation will be converted to digital signals and projected on a large screen outside the test area through a LabVIEW front panel. The virtual laboratory will include the same metering options as the operational APU. In addition, the virtual laboratory will include the option to alter engine operating parameters, such as inlet temperature and pressure or exhaust temperatures, and students may conduct broad parameter sweeps across ranges of possible inputs or desired outputs. These improvements will enable students to gain a deeper understanding of gas turbine operation and capabilities in practical applications. The improved laboratory will be implemented in Spring, 2014.

AB We investigate the problem of placing a given number of monitors in a communication network to identify the maximum number of link metrics from end-to-end measurements between monitors, assuming that link metrics are additive, and measurement paths cannot contain cycles. Motivated by our previous result that complete identification of all link metrics can require a large number of monitors, we focus on partial identification using a limited number of monitors. The basis to our solution is an efficient algorithm for determining all identifiable links for a given monitor placement. Based on this algorithm, we develop a polynomial-time greedy algorithm to incrementally place monitors such that each newly placed monitor maximizes the number of additional identifiable links. We prove that the proposed algorithm is optimal for 2-vertex-connected networks, and demonstrate that it is near-optimal for several real ISP topologies that are not 2-vertex-connected. Our solution provides a quantifiable tradeoff between level of identifiability and available monitor resources.

AB A botnet in mobile networks is a collection of compromised nodes due to mobile malware, which are able to perform coordinated attacks. Different from Internet botnets, mobile botnets do not need to propagate using centralized infrastructures, but can keep compromising vulnerable nodes in close proximity and evolving organically via data forwarding. Such a distributed mechanism relies heavily on node mobility as well as wireless links, therefore breaks down the underlying premise in existing epidemic modeling for Internet botnets. In this paper, we adopt a stochastic approach to study the evolution and impact of mobile botnets. We find that node mobility can be a trigger to botnet propagation storms: the average size (i.e., number of compromised nodes) of a botnet increases quadratically over time if the mobility range that each node can reach exceeds a threshold; otherwise, the botnet can only contaminate a limited number of nodes with average size always bounded above. This also reveals that mobile botnets can propagate at the fastest rate of quadratic growth in size, which is substantially slower than the exponential growth of Internet botnets. To measure the denial-of-service impact of a mobile botnet, we define a new metric, called last chipper time, which is the last time that service requests, even partially, can still be processed on time as the botnet keeps propagating and launching attacks. The last chipper time is identified to decrease at most on the order of 1/root B, where B is the network bandwidth. This result reveals that although increasing network bandwidth can help with mobile services; at the same time, it can indeed escalate the risk for services being disrupted by mobile botnets.

AB A covert communications network is a connected, overlay, peer-to-peer network being used to support communications within a group in which the survival of the group depends on (a) confidentiality and anonymity for communications, (b) concealment of participation in the network to both other members of the group and external eavesdroppers, and (c) resilience against disconnection. These requirements are much more stringent than for typical privacy and anonymity systems. In order to protect the network from subversion of individual nodes, neighbors of failed nodes have to be isolated from the network as well. Thus, all failures have to treated as neighborhood failures. Network membership is protected through topology management in order to limit each participant's knowledge of the network addresses (IP address, email address, etc.) of other participants. In this paper, we propose a measure for determining the suitability of random topologies for use in a covert communication network, and we use this measure to analyze the suitability of Erdos-Renyi Random Graphs for use in a covert communication network.

AB Terrestrial and other millimeter-scale autonomous micro-robots face significant challenges in surveying their environment, due to small power budgets and payload capacities. One low-power, low-mass form of obstacle detection is tactile sensing of contact with other surfaces. In this-paper, a tactile sensor inspired by insect antennae is described, based on thin-film lead-zirconate-titanate (PZT) transduction. Thin-film piezoelectric materials permit actuation and sensing mechanisms to be coupled in very small, compact structures, as well as complement previously developed micro-robotic leg mechanisms. Key design parameters for the tactile sensor are introduced and analyzed in terms of sweep frequency and range of motion, and signals from sensor impact are predicted. Experimental results with partially-released prototype actuators show respectable agreement with modeled behavior for dynamic motion, though impact detection is hampered by large feedthrough disturbances. Completed sensors range from 2 to 4 mm in length and are approximately 500 pm in width, with a sweep range of nearly 1 mm demonstrated from a 2 mm long prototype.

AB Miniaturized electronics and components are becoming more common in precision-guided artillery-launched munitions and missiles. Due to the highly dynamic nature of projectile launch, and the demands for increased structural robustness, many miniaturized smart munitions resort to a potted design in order to achieve functionality and reliability requirements. In most of these applications, the potted electronics are inactive for most of their lifetime and may be stored without environmental (temperature and humidity) controls for up to 20 years. The uncontrolled environment for smart munitions however makes the thermal management task especially difficult due to the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) mismatch between the potting material and the electronic components.
   It has been previously observed that modeling a potted device, in support of its development through finite-element simulations, is a complex task due to the numerical-convergence issues, material properties and meshes, during simulations as well as resource limitations. In this paper, we will present a modeling/simulation methodology which can be used in the development of miniaturized potted smart munitions and the product qualification process. There are two basic tests that a potential new munition needs to satisfy: 1) a highly accelerated temperature-cycling life test (HALT), to emulate the un-controlled projectile storage environment and, 2) the extremely high-G acceleration during a projectile launch. In this paper, we will present, 1) the use of finite-element analysis to support design decisions to overcome the CTE differences between electronic components on the circuit board assembly and the potting material and, 2) the use of finite-element simulations to study and improve the survivability of the electronic components on the circuit board assembly during extremely high-G acceleration projectile launches.

AB Ensuring adequate spreading of heat dissipated by high power density devices is a critical part of many electronics packaging designs. In many cases, passive wick-based heat spreaders can offer improved heat spreading performance relative to solid conductor alternatives. However, concerns related to performance degradation in high-inertial force environments frequently limit their use to static or near-static applications. In this work we investigate the performance of low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) wick-based heat spreaders cooling multiple high heat flux devices in static and high-g environments. Two high-power devices are simulated using custom-manufactured resistor-thermometer chips, enabling dissipation of die average heat fluxes in excess of 150W/cm(2). Comparative thermal performance is evaluated for wick-based heat spreaders and solid CuMo heat spreaders of equivalent CTE affixed with interface materials typical of those used when attaching a low CTE package to a high CTE cold plate (e.g., Al or Cu). Thermal performance is characterized as a function of heat input during exposure to increasing g-forces applied using a custom-built centrifuge. Experimental observations are interpreted through detailed modeling of fluid flow patterns within the wick structure of the passive heat spreader. Results from these experiments demonstrate that properly designed wick-based heat spreaders have utility in both static and dynamic environments, exhibiting effective conductivities in excess of that obtainable with competitive low-expansion composites.

AB The absence. of phenomenological insights and accurate flow regime Models makes it difficult to predict the improved effectiveness of internally-grooved tubes for two-phase heat transfer. A re-interpretation of available data and flow regime maps is used to suggest that performance improvement is a result of early transition to Annular flow. A modified flow regime map, with a newly-developed Stratified-Wavy to Annular transition criteria for internally-grooved tubes, is shown to increase regime prediction accuracy by 27% relative to the traditional, smooth tube flow regime prediction.

DVFS techniques influence the overall time performance of the smartphone since changes in CPU operational frequency will change all aspects of the CPUs responsiveness and access speed for task execution. CFS also has significant influence in task execution at the Linux kernel. Results show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme in estimating the instantaneous response time on a LG Optimus G smartphone.

AB The dynamics of an autonomous unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) that is at least the size of a passenger vehicle are critical to consider during obstacle avoidance maneuvers to ensure vehicle safety. Methods developed so far do not take vehicle dynamics and sensor limitations into account simultaneously and systematically to guarantee the vehicle's dynamical safety during avoidance maneuvers. To address this gap, this paper presents a model predictive control (MPC) based obstacle avoidance algorithm for high-speed, large-size UGVs that perceives the environment only through the information provided by a sensor, takes into account the sensing and control delays and the dynamic limitations of the vehicle, and provides smooth and continuous optimal solutions in terms of minimizing travel time. Specifically, information about the environment is obtained using an on-board Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) sensor. Ensuring the vehicle's dynamical safety is translated into avoiding single tire lift-off The obstacle avoidance problem is formulated as a multi-stage optimal control problem with a unique optimal solution. To solve the optimal control problem, it is transcribed into a nonlinear programming (NLP) problem using a pseudo-spectral method, and solved using the interior-point method. Sensing and control delays are explicitly taken into consideration in the formulation. Simulation results show that the algorithm is capable of generating smooth control commands to avoid obstacles while guaranteeing dynamical safety.

This new power transmitting unit is a mechatronic systems by its design and uses a planetary gear set and eddy current brake to provide a continuously variable (dynamic) gear ratio that can be integrated into the vehicle driveline between the transfer case and front axle. The paper details the electrical and mechanical characteristics of the device, including its various operation modes, its mathematical model built from the equations of the planetary gear set and eddy current brake, an optimization condition by which the device will be controlled to improve vehicle energy efficiency, as well as its torque and electrical current usage. Computer simulations are performed on a mathematical model of a 4x4 military truck using the power transmitting unit in conjunction with a series hybrid-electric configuration transmission.

AB Electrical power generation in austere settings, such as combat zones, places a heavy burden on the US Army; high costs in both dollars and lives lost require that every drop of fuel be used effectively and efficiently. In remote locations such as combat outposts (COPs) and small forward operating bases (FOBs) in Afghanistan, electrical power derived from the Army's standard Advanced Medium Mobile Power Sources (AMMPS) generator is even used to heat water for showers and heat living spaces. This heating requires conversion of thermal energy to mechanical energy, which is then converted to electrical energy and back to heat. Thus, a significant fuel savings could be realized through the more efficient production of heat. A combined heat and power system is proposed; efficiency is increased by routing the generator exhaust through simple ducting to a standard gas hot water heater to produce hot water with waste heat. With funding from the U.S. Army Rapid Equipping Force, cadets and faculty at the United States Military Academy designed, built and tested a system for under $1,000 in parts which was readily coupled to a 5 kW AMMPS generator to produce hot shower water. Results indicate a possible fuel savings of 1500-2000 gallons per year, 20-35% increased fuel utility, and the ability to provide 10-20 five gallon showers during every 5 hours of operation of each 5 kW generator. At a fuel cost of $20-50 per gallon in the deployed environment, and considering the large inventory of deployed generators, the payback for the Army could be tremendous.

AB The United States Military Academy has been charged with reaching Net Zero Energy consumption by 2020. Feasibility assessments to this point have neglected the field facilities used for military training, which are remote locations susceptible to power loss and subject to a higher rate structure for electricity than the rest of the installation. An energy security analysis methodology is described and applied to the training camps at West Point. This began with identifying the mission of the camps and critical power needs based on discussions with the customer, the Director of Cadet Military Training. Details of power and energy usage along with supply and delivery cost structure were provided by the utility and the facility Energy Manager. Conventional and renewable resource potentials were assessed to meet the load profile within financial constraints and funding opportunities unique to a federal government agency. The final recommendation is to incorporate three different technologies: a 50 kW photovoltaic solar system installed through a power purchase agreement, two small scale hydropower systems totaling 30 kW, and a lake based cooling system to provide air conditioning. The installation of these three systems would move the installation closer to the Net Zero Energy goal and lower the energy requirements to provide cooling. Altogether the proposed project would pay back in 16 years with an expected lifespan of 20-30 years. Batteries, generators, and pumped hydro were also examined as possible energy storage options and to shave the peak electrical load. However, the lack of on peak/off peak pricing made these options less viable. These recommendations will increase West Point's energy security, progress towards the Net Zero Energy goal, and provide cost savings over current utility expenditures.

AB The results from the observed combustion behavior of propane over platinum and rhodium catalysts in a meso-scale heat recirculating combustor are presented. The extinction limits, conversion, product selectivity/yield, and activation energy using the two catalysts were compared in an effort to determine their performance using a liquid fuel. The extinction limits were also compared to those of non-catalytic combustion in the same reactor. The results showed that the addition of a catalyst greatly expanded the range of stable operating conditions, in respect to both extinction limits and flow rates supported. The Rh catalyst was found to exhibit a higher propane conversion rate, reaching a maximum of 90.4% at stoichiometric conditions (as opposed to the 61.4% offered by the Pt catalyst at lean conditions); however, the Pt catalyst had superior CO2 selectivity for most studied conditions, indicating higher combustion efficiency. The Pt catalyst also had a significantly smaller activation energy (13.8 kJ/mol) than the Rh catalyst (74.7 kJ/mol), except at equivalence ratios richer than Phi = 1.75 (corresponding to catalyst temperatures below 500 degrees C), where it abruptly changed to 211.4 kJ/mol, signifying a transition from diffusion-limited reactions to kinetically limited reactions at this point. The results reveal that Rh would be a more suitable catalyst for use in a liquid-fueled meso-scale combustor, as fuel conversion has been shown to be a limiting factor for combustion stability in these systems.

DE Enterprise Architecture; X-Matrix; Joint Capability Areas
AB The Department of Defense (DoD) manages programs of systems from concept through development to production with Joint Capability Areas (JCAs). JCAs are a standardized grouping of capabilities that enable DoD decision makers to allocate resources based on a programs contribution to joint operations. Additionally, the DoD has established Universal Joint Tasks (UJTs) to serve as a common language for describing functions a system performs across the four services. Similar to JCAs, a system performs one or more UJTs in support of the joint war fight. Although JCAs and UJTs are well described and understood by the joint community within the DoD, the DoD lacks a method for visualizing the links between program, JCAs, and UJTs at the enterprise level. Enterprise Architecting is an approach for analyzing an enterprise level system and developing candidate architectures for the enterprise to deliver value. Enterprise Architecture tools, specifically, the X-Matrix provides an opportunity for the DoD to visualize these links to ensure alignment of programs to JCAs and UJTs. Additionally, the X-Matrix enables DoD decision makers to understand potential gaps or unnecessary redundancies at the enterprise level. Given the current fiscal reality in the DoD, analysts must provide leaders with data based recommendations on systems to ensure that the DoD is being efficient with their limited resources. This modification of the X-Matrix enables the visualization of essential links between programs, the form of the enterprise, and the JCAs and UJTs, the function of the enterprise. It provides DoD leadership with a tool to visualize the impacts of resourcing decisions and potentially make better investments in programs to support the joint warfighter. (C) 2014 The Authors.

AB System architectures evolve over time. Accordingly, the dynamic properties of architectures reflect how systems respond to change, and this response ultimately impacts cost. In prior work we make an explicit connection between the architectural diagrams of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), parametric cost estimation, and network science. Specifically, by treating the DoD Architecture Framework (DoDAF) Systems View 3 (SV3) as an adjacency matrix, we assess how the addition of a new subsystem to an immature architecture might grow the existing network. With the subsequent application of parametric cost modeling, we translate anticipated growth into expected cost, thereby quantifying the impact of change. This paper refines that approach. In particular, by using the Girvan-Newman algorithm, the SV3 is initially divided into groups of subsystems such that the number of interfaces is dense within and sparse between groups. Based on this division into "architectural communities" and the prevalence of bridging ties, interfaces generated by the addition of a new subsystem can be faithfully integrated into the existing architecture, adding validity to our growth mechanism. This procedure is illustrated in detail with an example that highlights the importance of this refinement, and it is incorporated within a Monte Carlo simulation that allows the distribution of future costs to be estimated and assessed.

AB In recent years, the Department of Defense (DoD) has sought to develop military systems with increasing levels of autonomy. There has been an increase in requirements and desired capabilities that call for the semi-autonomous or autonomous performance of tasks. Military robot systems are an example of such complex systems. As the DoD develops these complex systems it is evident, based on recent research, that in order to achieve the desired capabilities the systems must adapt and learn to improve their performance and become more autonomous. However, it is cost prohibitive and impractical to evaluate self-adaptive systems in all possible scenarios and environments. As a result, it is desirable to improve our ability to understand how autonomous systems will perform in order to influence military acquisition decisions. Prior work has sought to characterize the environment or the performance of unmanned systems based on levels of autonomy and suggested that environmental complexity is a strong predictor of performance of mobile robot systems. However performance measures of unmanned systems dealing with complex and changing environments have been difficult to measure quantitatively because it is difficult to delineate the general operational domains of the unmanned systems or how to determine if an unmanned system satisfies capability specifications or expectations. This paper describes the development of a model-based framework for predicting the performance of self-adaptive systems, specifically a navigation task for mobile military robot systems. By developing a quantitative model of performance based on the complexity of the environment, including slope and vegetation, we can estimate the performance of a system in new regions based on performance in known regions. Using simulation and data from prior experiments, we demonstrate the ability to predict the performance in environments that have not been tested. In order to validate our model, we compare the model results to data from previous DARPA-led research experiments. (C) 2014 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.

AB New, advanced aerospace vehicles are being considered for inclusion in the existing fleet of Joint Service air vehicles, based on the evolving needs of these organizations. The difficulty for design teams and the requirements community is arriving at a good estimate of what a particular configuration may look like, as well as what technologies are needed to enable it, given a set of strict requirements. The Capability Assessment and Tradeoff Environment (CATE) has been created to support aerospace vehicle decision making with structured vehicle and technology assessment processes and tools. The CATE enables rapid evaluation and visualization of vehicles and trades, off-design performance assessment, capability gap detection, technology definitions, and technology portfolio selection. In this paper, the creation of the CATE is outlined, and the processes it enables for vehicle and technology assessment are described. (C) 2014 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.

DE Tradespace exploration; decision analysis; ERS
AB Tradespace exploration supports the Systems Engineering Technical Management Process of Decision Analysis by identifying compromises, revealing opportunities, and communicating the impacts of decisions across a system's development lifecycle. Critical program decisions are made based on the outcomes of trades; trades being performed with multiple types and quantities of data coming out of tools and methods employing qualitative and quantitative analyses. Tradespace exploration for Engineered Resilient Systems (ERS) is envisioned to coalesce pertinent information tuned to specific decision makers, at the appropriate time, presenting a holistic view of decision impacts on required system capabilities. This study provides an ERS view of tradespace exploration, which reveals that having a valid set of attributes, and an understanding of how a cross-section of tools can satisfy them, is insufficient - what is needed is a deeper understanding of how these tools are used and, more importantly, how they can be used when performing tradespace exploration in support of the Decision Analysis Process. Gaining this understanding will enable users to better assess if they possess the appropriate tradespace exploration tools. A holistic view of 81 candidate tradespace exploration tools is provided. This study seeks to address a fundamental aspect of tradespace exploration by assembling a "best common practice" process for their requirements, identifying a set of attributes that defines an ideal tradespace exploration tool, and surveying existing tools that satisfy these attributes. In this way, a set of tools can be selected to enable the ERS tradespace vision on a particular project. A paradigm shift towards common tradespace methods, tools, cost models, and steps is emphasized. (C) 2014 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.

AB This paper describes the activity of a workshop on Data-Driven Tradespace Exploration and Analysis: A Key Technical Thrust of Engineered Resilient Systems (ERS). The workshop was attended by 40 academic, government, and industry researchers and practitioners involved in tradespace exploration for a variety of engineering domains. The one-and-one-half day workshop sought to develop near and far term tradespace technology research recommendations for the ERS Priority Steering Council (PSC) Lead. To determine promising research areas, workshop attendees were asked to describe desired tradespace capabilities, the associated current approach and its deficiencies, and gaps between the two states. These research areas were summarized in statements of need, supporting rationale, and investment timeframe. Resilience in the context of ERS is more than robustness; resilience implies that when the system is placed into an environment in which it was not originally intended to operate, after some degradation in performance, the system can be adapted or reconfigured to perform at its intended levels. To support design for resilience, more alternatives must be generated earlier, considered longer, explored over multiple, dynamic alternative futures, and searched exhaustively. The workshop described in this paper was organized to discuss current methods, process, and tools for performing these tradespace analysis related tasks and to better understand existing tradespace capabilities and their suitability for ERS.

AB Department of Defense (DoD) systems are required to be trusted and effective in a wide range of operational contexts with the ability to respond to new or changing conditions through modified tactics, appropriate reconfiguration, or replacement. As importantly, these systems are required to exhibit predictable and graceful degradation outside their designed performance envelope. For these systems to be included in the force structure, they need to be manufacturable, readily deployable, sustainable, easily modifiable, and cost-effective. Collectively, these requirements inform the definition of resilient DoD systems. This paper explores the properties and tradeoffs for engineered resilient systems in the military context. It reviews various perspectives on resilience, overlays DoD requirements on these perspectives, and presents DoD challenges in realizing and rapidly fielding resilient systems. This paper also presents promising research themes that need to be pursued by the research community to help the DoD realize the vision of affordable, adaptable, and effective systems. This paper concludes with a discussion of specific DoD systems that can potentially benefit from resilience and stresses the need for sustaining a community of interest in this important area.

AB This research describes a novel security metric, network taint, which is related to software taint analysis. We use it here to bound the possible malicious influence of a known compromised node through monitoring and evaluating network flows. The result is a dynamically changing defense-in-depth map that shows threat level indicators gleaned from monotonically decreasing threat chains. We augment this analysis with concepts from the complex networks research area in forming dynamically changing security perimeters and measuring the cardinality of the set of threatened nodes within them. In providing this, we hope to advance network incident response activities by providing a rapid automated initial triage service that can guide and prioritize investigative activities.

AB A major tenet of the US Army's data-to-decision initiative and a primary challenge for military commanders and their staff is the ability to shorten the cycle time from data gathering to making decisions. Paramount to this process is the ability to better assess the applicability and relevance of information for decisions in complex military environments. Towards this end, the Army Research Laboratory, in collaboration with Towson University, has embarked on a research initiative to experimentally characterize how analysts perceive the value of information (VoI) and subsequently model and test solutions. This paper presents the process used to extend the current fuzzy VoI system to allow user-defined membership functions that consider various domain decompositions using both triangular and trapezoidal fuzzy sets, and the assessment of their efficacy to current military operations.

AB The need for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education programs in elementary and secondary schools is a goal most professional educators and scientists support. What form these programs take can lead to considerable debate. In the search for some common ground the authors of this paper envisioned a school where children want to attend, where professional scientists and engineers work together with creative dedicated experienced teachers, and where the curriculum contains activities relevant to today's technologies and nurtures the creativity necessary to develop the technologies of the future. This school would be in a location where the students would have access to actual working laboratories in which engineers use state of the art equipment to solve real problems. The school environment would foster the creation of Integrated Product Teams (IPT) where girls are as excited and deeply involved as boys and students gain experience making presentations of their work to research and development professionals with comfort and confidence. Students develop the understanding that there is no shame in being wrong as long as they utilize what was learned to redesign and try again. Students willingly share knowledge with other students, desire to continue working instead of taking snack and lunch breaks, and at the end of the day when parents arrive to take their children home, these students beg for permission to stay and continue their assignments. If the above vision seems like pure fantasy, one need only visit the Picatinny STEM Academy Summer Enrichment Program.

AB We measured the broadband (40 Hz-20 GHz) relative dielectric permittivity of sieved surficial samples of an arid-zone soil. The soil samples were equilibrated at 25 degrees C with relative humidities of 43, 54, 84, and 97 %. Debye-like Maxwell-Wagner-Sillars (MWS) polarization relaxation times of 309, 227, and 73 ns were calculated for the soil samples equilibrated at relative humidities of 43, 54, and 84 %, respectively. Due to electrode polarization, MWS polarization relaxations could be not be discerned on the soil sample equilibrated at 97 % relative humidity. The measured differences between the static and high-frequency relative permittivity (epsilon(s) - epsilon(infinity)) due to MWS polarization were between 25 and 45 times that of the oven dry soil. This would cause the MWS relaxation to increase radar-wave attenuation rates at frequencies as high as 1 GHz. We found Debye-type relaxation times associated with adsorbed water of 13, 15, 17, 19, and 22 ps for an oven-dry sample and ones equilibrated at at relative humidities of 43, 54, 84, and 97 %, respectively. These frequencies are higher than previously thought. This progression with water contents may be due to the increase in soil solution salinity with increasing water contents. They were not likely caused by free water since a weakly resolved relaxation could be discerned corresponding to a relaxation time of approximately 8 ps, as expected for free-water.

ID DIELECTRIC-SPECTROSCOPY; COMPLEX PERMITTIVITY; DOMAIN
AB We discuss complex permittivity spectra of two lossy soils measured from 6 kHz to 6 GHz using time domain reflectometry, in which Maxwell-Wagner relaxation (MWR) is present but also unwanted electrode polarization EP, mainly below 1 MHz, is strong. The soils are mostly quartz, with one having lesser calcite and the other lesser gypsum. Volumetric water contents ranged from 8.5-30.9%. We use a simple model that adds an EP diffusion term to Debye-type terms for the MWR and free water relaxation centered near 19 GHz, and which allows us to separate the EP from the MWR. All samples show MWRs centered from 1-196 MHz, regardless of water content, and with small to significant Cole-Cole factors. The increasing water content diminishes the effect of MWR, likely by decreasing the conductive and dielectric contrasts between isolated inclusions and the soil matrix, but still can strongly contribute to attenuation rate across the 100-1000 MHz GPR bandwidth.

ID GALFENOL
AB This study presents mechanical energy dissipation with a proof-of-concept prototype magnetostrictive (Fe-Ga alloy, galfenol) based shunt circuit using passive electrical components. Magnetostrictive material can harvest electricity out of the structural vibrations based on the Villari effect using permanent magnet and pickup coil configuration. The device in this study consists of a polycrystalline galfenol strip bonded to a brass cantilever beam. Two brass pieces, each containing a permanent magnet, are used to mass load at the end of the beam and to provide a magnetic bias field through the galfenol strip. The voltage induced in an induction coil closely wound around the cantilever beam captures the time rate of change of magnetic flux within the galfenol strip as the beam vibrates. To dissipate the electrical voltage output from the pickup coil and/or to change the phase of eddy current from the magnetic flux density fluctuation, a shunt circuit is attached. The effective mechanical impedance for the magmetostrictive shunt circuit is derived in a model. The effectiveness of a series L-R and L-C shunt circuit is demonstrated theoretically and experimentally. The non-linear model parameters, which include the mechanical-magnetic coupling factors, alpha and alpha(T), and the permeability of galfenol, beta, are extracted from experimental measurement. The shunted magmetostrictive damping model of both resistive and capacitance shunt cases compare well with the experimental results.

AB In recent years, the use of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) devices has led to high performing actuators for various applications, including unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) for defense applications. The incorporation of MEMS technology in this field has resulted in miniaturized UAVs with the capability of carrying out sophisticated reconnaissance and relaying real time information remotely; however, maneuverability of these devices around obstacles is still a challenge. This paper presents the design and fabrication of a functionally modified bimorph actuator with enhanced UAV aerodynamics and maneuverability. The actuator is a metal-based MEMS device consisting of stainless steel, lead zirconate titanate (PZT), and titanium/platinum electrodes. COMSOL analysis was performed to examine optimal device design parameters and is presented in this paper. The design consists of off-axis PZT segments on a bimorph PZT layer which results in bend twist coupling. A detailed description of the fabrication process flow developed based on the optimization of the device design is also given. MEMS processing technology was incorporated to produce a torsional cantilever beam that produces angular and linear displacement for superior UAV maneuverability and its performance is also presented in this paper.

AB Sasol IPK is a coal-derived synthetic fuel under consideration as a blending stock with JP-8 for use in military ground vehicles. Since Sasol IPK is a low ignition quality fuel with Derived Cetane Number (DCN) of 31, there is a need to improve its ignition quality. This paper investigates the effect of adding different amounts of Lubrizol 8090 cetane improver to Sasol IPK on increasing its DCN. The experimental investigation was conducted in a single-cylinder research type diesel engine. The engine is equipped with a common rail injection system and an open Engine Control Unit (ECU). Experiments covered different injection pressures and intake air temperatures. Analysis of test results was made to determine the effect of cetane improver percentage in the coal-derived Sasol IPK blend on autoignition, combustion and emissions of carbon monoxide (CO), total unburned hydrocarbon (HC), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), and particulate matter (PM). In addition, the effect of cetane improver on the apparent activation energy of the global autoignition reactions was determined.

AB A non-intrusive optical method for two-phase flow pattern identification was developed to validate flow regime maps for two-phase adiabatic flow in a small diameter tube. Empirical measurements of film thickness have been shown to provide objective identification of the dominant two-phase flow regimes, representing a significant improvement over the traditional use of exclusively visual and verbal descriptions. Use of this technique has shown the Taitel-Dukler, Ullmann-Brauner, and Wojtan et al. phenomenological flow regime mapping methodologies to be applicable, with varying accuracy, to small diameter two-phase flow.

AB Advances in materials characterization at the submicron and the nano-scales have progressed in the last decade. At the same time, computational capability for finite element analyses are also improving through technological developments in parallel computing. However, large computational models of nanostructured materials are currently limited by the lack of validation data. The work reported in this paper describes the formulation of a representative nanoscale model for Kevlar fibers based on failure section imaging that captures its fibril and microfibril structure. In this regard, a finite element model that captures the nanoscale structure of Kevlar fibers was developed to predict their macroscale response. Experimental derivation of geometrical parameters and physical properties of fibrils and microfibrils is challenging due to the sensitive nature of polymers. There are several microfibril parameters that reflect into effective fiber response, such as the microfibril constitutive behavior, length, diameter, shape, the interfibril shear and normal strength, and the inter-fibril normal and tangential force decay the after peak strength is achieved. This paper investigates the effect of each of the aforementioned parameters on the initial modulus, yield strength, ultimate strength, and strain rate dependence of Kevlar fibers with 10 mu m average diameter. The sensitivity of the macroscale response to each microfibril parameter can be used to identify areas where experimental information can further enable the predictive capability of the computational model. A parametric study was performed to calculate the effective macroscale fiber response. Subsequent', a local gradient sensitivity method was employed to plot the sensitivity of the fiber response to each microfibril parameter.

AB In this study, we report the self-healing of e-glass/epoxy composites achieved through embedding self-healing agents (SHA) filled hollow glass fibers (HGFs). At first, catalytic technique was used to fill bonded HGFs with SHA. The HGFs were then laid on e-glass fibers and the laminates were fabricated using vacuum assisted resin molding (VARIM) technique. Low-velocity impact tests at two different energy levels were conducted multiple times in the closest proximity to determine the healing efficiency. Optical microscopic study was done to see the changes in the SHA filled HGFs samples before and after impact. Results showed significant recovery of impact properties with 4.47% lost in peak load after second impact in SHA samples whereas it was 27.7% in control samples. The loss in energy to peak load was 20.44% in SHA filled samples, whereas 41% in control samples. Optical microscopy images showed filling of cracks produced after impact with SHA reflecting the significant recovery of impact properties.

AB There is a continual market pull in the electronics industry for smaller products with more capabilities, creating a growing need for 3D stacked electronics. This work presents a generic, easy to use approach, to estimate the thermal performance in a generic NxMxP stack using 3D heterogeneous integrated packaging (3D HIP) approach as a baseline. 3D HIP is a microfabrication packaging technology that helps facilitate chip stacking. While this work is demonstrated utilizing the 3D HIP geometry, the technique is easily adapted to most packaging approaches, both 3D and planar. A low order model has been developed with a combination numerical-analytical approach and a 3D resistor network to estimate the chip temperatures. The resistor network solves quickly in MATLAB, enabling fast, iterative thermal analyses and design through the parametric studies of the chip dimensions, number of chips, chip layout, material types, cooling solutions, etc. The model has been validated against full 3D numerical models in COMSOL for a number of conditions including variation of chip dimensions, substrate thickness, number of chips, and material types. The temperature difference between the resistor network model and the COMSOL model was always within 5%. This method can be utilized to identify potential cooling approaches based on the power dissipation per chip and the packaging approach and also to determine the maximum temperatures of each chip. The code achieves significant time saving as compared to full FEA models while providing similar results.

AB Advancements in thermal interface materials have reached the resolution limit of typical ASTM D5470 based testers, which is around +/-1x10(-6) m(2)K/W. As the interfacial resistance is reduced, the temperature difference at the interface decreases and ultimately becomes difficult to measure. Standard ASTM testers utilize precise temperature sensors and knowledge of the thermal conductivity of the heat meter bar to resolve the temperature difference at the interface. It is difficult to resolve interface resistances on the order of 1x10(-6) m(2)K/W, even when precision RTDs with a resolution of +/-0.001 degrees C are utilized, as the location uncertainty of the sensor can become important. Increasing the temperature difference across the interface is necessary for further improvement in the resolution.
   This work presents a miniature ASTM type tester that was developed to address the resolution limits of standard testers by reducing the heat meter bar thickness, using a chip resistor as the heater element, and using an IR camera to measure the temperature gradient along the meter bar. Reducing the length of the heat meter bars reduces the overall resistance, and increases the resistance of the interface relative to that of the meter bars. Because of the reduced size scale of the miniature tester, measurement of the temperature profile using the typical ASTM approach of embedding temperature probes along the length of the meter bar was not feasible but instead was achieved using a relatively inexpensive uncooled long wavelength infrared camera with a microscope attachment in order to focus down to 100 microns. Although the IR camera increases the uncertainty of the measured temperatures, this method is shown to measure a thermal interfacial resistance of 1.45x10(-6) m(2)K/W with an uncertainty of +/-1.1 x10(-7) m(2)K/W, where the sample interface was a 2 mil AuSn preform soldered interface.

AB Purpose - In this chapter, we raise awareness of the larger network in which multiteam systems (MTSs) are situated. We posit that in the complex operations conducted by military units, MTSs are not isolated entities, but rather exist in exponentially complex systems that include additional challenges for both research and practice.
   Approach - An operational example involving an Army Brigade Combat Team Headquarters is presented to explain the details of the exponentially complex MTSs inherent in military operations, raise awareness about challenges that plague successful mission accomplishment, and discuss the way forward for research and practice.
   Findings - The Army Brigade Combat Team Headquarters is characterized as a traditional MTS, embedded in a system of hierarchical MTSs, further embedded within a parallel structure of MTSs. Challenges inherent in these organizational structures provide direction for research and practice to address the exponentially complex meta-systems that are prevalent throughout the military.
   Value - While researchers have begun to address teams existing in larger networks, or MTSs (Mathieu, Marks, & Zaccaro, 2001), much of the existing research is based on small or isolated systems. As a result, our understanding of the meta-systems in which many of these MTSs exist is limited. This chapter provides concrete examples of an exponentially complex MTS within a military environment and highlights challenges to be addressed in both research and practice.

AB When there are either design or implementation flaws, a homogeneous architecture is likely to be disrupted entirely by a single attack (e.g., a worm) that exploits its vulnerability. Following the survivability through heterogeneity philosophy, we present a novel approach to improving survivability of networked systems by adopting the technique of software diversity. Specifically, we design an efficient algorithm to select and deploy a set of off-the-shelf software to hosts in a networked system, such that the number and types of vulnerabilities presented on one host would be different from that on its neighboring nodes. In this way, we are able to contain a worm in an isolated "island". This algorithm addresses software assignment problem in more complex scenarios by taking into consideration practical constraints, e.g., hosts may have diverse requirements based on different system prerequisites. We evaluate the performance of our algorithm through simulations on both simple and complex system models. The results confirm the effectiveness and scalability of our algorithm.

AB Recent computational work on Arabic dialect identification has focused primarily on building and annotating corpora written in Arabic script. Arabic dialects however also appear written in Roman script, especially in social media. This paper describes our recent work developing tweet corpora and a token-level classifier that identifies a romanized Arabic dialect and distinguishes it from French and English in tweets. We focus on Moroccan Darija, one of several spoken vernaculars in the family of Maghrebi Arabic dialects. Even given noisy, code-mixed tweets, the classifier achieved token-level recall of 93.2% on romanized Arabic dialect, 83.2% on English, and 90.1% on French. The classifier, now integrated into our tweet conversation annotation tool (Tratz et al. 2013), has semi-automated the construction of a romanized Arabic-dialect lexicon. Two datasets, a full list of Moroccan Darija surface token forms and a table of lexical entries derived from this list with spelling variants, as extracted from our tweet corpus collection, will be made available in the LRE MAP.

AB Experiments were conducted to determine bacteria distribution trends in wound cavities of simplified surrogate extremities shot using small caliber projectiles. Two different shapes of targets, cylindrical and square, were used in this study. Cylindrical targets are more representative of an extremity but create difficulties while conducting tests due to inconsistent cavity lengths and optical distortions. Square targets, which are not as susceptible to the problems mentioned above, could be used in place of cylindrical ones if their shape does not significantly affect the distribution of bacteria within the wound cavity. Surface contamination of the targets in the experiments was represented using a circular piece of filter paper moistened with a solution with a known amount of Escherichia coli strain K-12. The projectiles used were 11.43-mm (0.45-in) caliber round nose projectiles shot from a commercially available air rifle. The permanent cavities were extracted from the targets and sliced into small, evenly spaced segments and the area surrounding the permanent cavities was removed with a biopsy punch. The radial tears that were made by the formation of the temporary cavity and surround the permanent cavity were removed using a scalpel. The permanent cavity and radial tears for each section were processed and plated on agar plates. Commercial software was used to count the number of colony forming units on each plate and the percentage of the total bacterial colony count per segment was determined. High speed video and motion analysis software was used to qualitatively and quantitatively compare the temporary cavities in the cylindrical and square targets. The data from the experiments showed that the bacteria distribution trends for the cylindrical and square targets were similar even though the maximum openings of the temporary cavity at the entrance and exit locations were higher for the cylindrical ones. For both target shapes, the bacterium was evenly distributed between the permanent cavity and the radial tears in the middle sections of the "wound tracks." In addition, significantly higher amounts of bacterium were found in the entrance and exit segments compared with the rest of the segments in the "wound tracks".

AB Tactical officers and military personnel who, train in explosive entry techniques regularly put themselves at risk of blast exposure. The overpressure conditions in complex military and law enforcement environments, such as interior doors, hallways, and stairwells, cannot be accurately predicted by standard blast models which were developed from outdoor, free-field blasts. In both training and operations, small, low-cost blast overpressure sensors would provide the benefit of tracking exposure levels of at-risk individuals. The sensors would allow, for the first time, direct determination of safe stand-off distances and positioning for personnel during explosive breaching. Overpressure, impulse, and acceleration data has been captured for a series of interior and exterior blasts, demonstrating the utility of the Blast Gauge system as a training and research tool to quantify blast overpressure in complex environments.

AB A single point acceleration measurement at the center of gravity (C.G) of the rigid headform has been typically used to assess the head injuries under the blunt loading conditions. The head protective equipment (e.g. Helmets) used in sports, vehicles and defense fields are developed and tested based on this single point acceleration. This raises two critical questions; 1) can a homogeneous rigid headform represent the heterogeneous skull-brain complex; 2) If not, which is the critical point of measurement in the compliant headform. To answer these questions, compliant (acrylic gel complex) and rigid (aluminum body) head surrogates with an identical mass are subjected to similar blunt loading conditions. Target surfaces of different stiffness and an impact velocity of 1 m/s are employed to evaluate the critical difference in the head surrogates. Acceleration (C.G) and shell strain (impact location) in the compliant surrogate and acceleration (C.G) and the impact force in the rigid surrogate are experimentally measured. Experimental and computational studies illustrate that the acceleration field in the gel-filled case varies from coup to counter-coup region; however, the acceleration field in the rigid headform is uniform. The variation in the acceleration field is influenced by the shell deformation that in turn depends on the stiffness of the target surface. In deformable target surfaces, the acceleration and head injury criterion (HIC) values are higher in the compliant surrogate than the rigid surrogate; the effect is reversed for rigid target surfaces.

AB Recent wars have heightened the need to better protect dismounted soldiers against emerging blast and ballistic threats. Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) due to blast and ballistic loading has been a subject of many recent studies. In this paper, we report a numerical study to understand the effects of load transmitted through a combat helmet and pad system to the head and eventually to the brain during a blast event. The ALE module in LS-DYNA was used to model the interactions between fluid (air) and the structure (helmet/head assembly). The geometry model for the head was generated from the MRI scan of a human head. For computational simplicity, four major components of the head are modeled: skin, bone, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and brain. A spherical shape blast wave was generated by using a spherical shell air zone surrounding the helmet/head structure:A numerical evaluation of boundary conditions and numerical algorithm to capture the wave transmission was carried out first in a simpler geometry. The ConWep function was used to apply blast pressure to the 3D model. The blast pressure amplitude was found to reduce as it propagated through the foam pads, indicating the latter's utility in mitigating blast effects. It is also shown that the blast loads are only partially transmitted to the head. In the calculation where foam pads were not used, the pressure in the skin was found to be higher due to the underwash effect in the gap between the helmet and skin, which amplified the blast pressure.

AB Characterizing the near-nozzle region of liquid sprays is a challenge for spray system designers due to the lack of optical accessibility in this dense region of the spray using traditional imaging techniques. A novel diagnostic technique, utilizing standard medical X-ray computed tomography equipment, is developed to investigate the time-averaged mass distribution of the liquid phase of the spray within 50 diameters downstream of the nozzle exit. Reconstructed images provide the three-dimensional concentration of the liquid phase of the spray. Analysis of several iodine- based liquids was conducted based on physical properties and non-dimensional parameters. To compare a general procedural approach for obtaining the three-dimensional concentration field from an X-ray CT system, a traditional optical analysis was conducted using Mie Scattering and Shadowgraphy. Results for a full-cone pressure swirl atomizer with an orifice of 0.79 mm are presented for both water and Povidone Iodide. Qualitative and quantitative results gave insight into the spray cone angle, atomization of the spray, arid the droplet size and velocity distribution 50 diameters downstream. The water (Re approximate to 20,000) atomizes further upstream than the Povidone Iodide (Re approximate to 6,100) with a larger spray cone angle. The images obtained from the traditional optical techniques were qualitatively compared to the new diagnostic technique. The three dimensional mass distribution of Hypaque from a 0.79 mm nozzle has a number of similarities with the water spray, measured with an isotropic spatial resolution of 200 mu m and noise per voxel less than 0.02 g/cm(3).

AB A numerical solution of heat transfer by combined natural convection and surface radiation in a square enclosure with thick adiabatic top and bottom walls and isothermal vertical walls is presented. The present model was used to obtain new results with the addition of thermal conduction at the thick top and bottom walls for a thermal conductivity ratio, K=k(solid)/k(fluid), that ranges from 0 to 10, emissivity of the adiabatic walls that ranges from 0 to 1, and the Rayleigh Number that ranges from 10(3) to 10(6). The model was validated by comparing the results to a benchmark solution and other solutions found in the literature. The results showed that with an increase in thermal conductivity ratio, the flow circulation decreases while the average Nusselt Number increases indicating increased heat transfer across the thick walls and the fluid in the corners. The results indicate that while past studies have shown negligible impact of the emissivity of the adiabatic walls on characteristics of the flow and heat transfer within the cavity, when a wall with moderate heat capacity and conductivity is considered, the resulting flow velocity and temperature distribution within the cavity are found to be significantly influenced by the thick wall emissivity. As the conductivity ratio increases this discrepancy between thin and thick walls becomes greater, there is further need for a more complex and accurate model including the thick walls. The results also showed that an increase in the emissivity of the adiabatic walls results in a slight decrease in the average Nusselt Number.

AB The confined disposal facilities (CDFs) are the areas along Calcasieu Ship Channel to store dredged sediments from the ship channel. As the sediments settle in the CDFs, the low concentration sediment flows are discharged into the open water adjacent to the CDFs. The paper demonstrates flow and sediment transport characteristics in the open water due to the CDF discharge. The sediment distributions in all three dimensions in the water are revealed. The lake current effects were also investigated. A commercial CFD package ANSYS-FLUENT is used to simulate all cases in this study.

AB One challenge associated with the simulation of buried detonations involves the treatment of the multiphase flow phenomena related to the soil. At the moment when the soil "shatters" into a dense particulate cloud with detonation products escaping through the soil particles, the continuum model that assumes a single velocity shared by the blast gas and the soil at any given point no longer holds. Instead momentum coupling between the two phases has to be modeled. One characteristic at the stage of soil breaking is that the soil fragments packed in a tight configuration under large pressure provide significant blockage effect characterized by large particle volume fractions. Unfortunately, traditional drag laws do not address the momentum coupling between gas and solid phase under the condition of particle high volume fraction in high speed blast flows. In order to develop a phenomenological drag model to characterize the momentum coupling between the detonation gas and soil fragments when the soil initially breaks into a dense particulate cloud, we conducted a series of numerical simulations on the scale of soil fragments by only considering a small region occupied by a mixture of blast gas and soil fragments (so-called particle-scale simulations). A drag database was constructed based on the drag force collected from the particle-scale simulations under the conditions of various soil volume fractions and particle sizes. A new drag law was developed using data regression technique to characterize the dependency of the drag force exerted on particles as a function of particle volume fraction and Reynolds number based on particle size. The proposed drag law provides satisfactory representations of the simulation data, and converge to traditional drag model for isolated particles when the particle volume fraction approaches to zero. Finally, we applied the new phenomenological drag law in the simulations of buried detonation at the stage of soil breaking, and compared the results with the ones from continuum model in which the gas and the soil are assumed moving. at the same speed.

AB This paper investigates the effect of a cetane improver on the autoignition characteristics of Sasol IPK in the combustion chamber of the Ignition Quality Tester (IQT). The fuel tested was Sasol IPK with a Derived Cetane Number (DCN) of 31, treated with different percentages of Lubrizol 8090 cetane improver ranging from 0.1% to 0.4%. Tests were conducted under steady state conditions at a constant charging pressure of 21 bar. The charge air temperature before fuel injection varied from 778 to 848 K. Accordingly, all the tests were conducted under a constant charge density. The rate of heat release was calculated and analyzed in details, particularly during the autoignition period.
   In addition, the physical and chemical delay periods were determined by comparing the results of two tests. The first was conducted with fuel injection into air according to ASTM standards where combustion occurred. In the second test, the fuel was injected into the chamber charged with nitrogen. The physical delay is defined as the period of time from start of injection (SOI) to point of inflection (POI), and the chemical delay is defined as the period of time from POI to start of combustion (SOC). Both the physical and chemical delay periods were determined under different charge temperatures. The cetane improver was found to have an effect only on the chemical ID period. In addition, the effect of the cetane improver on the apparent activation energy of the global combustion reactions was determined. The results showed a linear drop in the apparent activation energy with the increase in the percentage of the cetane improver. Moreover, the low temperature (LT) regimes were investigated and found to be presented in base fuel, as well as cetane improver treated fuels.

AB Harvesting energy from natural (solar, wind, vibration etc.) and synthesized (microwave power transfer) sources is envisioned as a key enabler for realizing green wireless networks. Energy efficient scheduling is one of the prime objectives of cognitive radio platforms. To that end, in this article, we present a comprehensive analytical framework to characterize the performance of a cognitive metro-cellular network empowered by solar energy harvesting. The proposed model considers both spatial and temporal dynamics of the energy field and the mobile user traffic. Channel uncertainties are also captured in terms of large scale path-loss and small-scale Rayleigh fading. A new metric called 'energy outage probability' which characterizes the self-sustainable operation of the base stations under energy harvesting is proposed and quantified. It is shown that the energy outage probability is strongly coupled with the path-loss exponent, required quality-of-service, base station and user density. Moreover, the energy outage probability varies both on daily and yearly basis depending on the solar geoemtry. It is shown that even in winter time BSs can run for 10-15 hours without any purchase of energy from the power grid.

TI Wavefront Sensorless Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics for Imaging in Deep

AB This paper deals with the problem of imaging in deep atmospheric turbulence conditions such as the ones encountered in long near-horizontal propagation scenarios. Under such conditions, anisoplanatism as well as the presence of intensity scintillations prevent efficient use of conventional single-wavefront corrector adaptive optics systems. Multi-conjugate adaptive optics (MCAO) techniques have been successfully demonstrated in the field of astronomy to mitigate anisoplanatism effects and improve correction on extended objects in weak atmospheric turbulence conditions. However these techniques typically require the use of several wavefront sensors which increases system complexity, and are impacted by the presence of intensity scintillations. We propose to use a wavefront sensorless MCAO method based solely on the optimization of image quality metrics. In this method, the commands applied to the deformable mirrors are computed from a metric derived directly from the compensated image. The method has the advantage of being more robust to scintillations and does not require wavefront sensors. In this preliminary numerical study, we evaluate the benefit of the MCAO approach in deep turbulence.

AB Army Aviation utilizes two distinct types of overhaul maintenance schedules on its rotary wing aircraft, Phase Maintenance and Progressive Phase Maintenance. All but one aircraft, the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior, use Phase Maintenance. This aircraft has both the highest operational readiness rate and average flight hours in the Army's rotary wing fleet. The Army values uniformity in maintenance procedures across its fleets; however this inconsistency has existed for two decades. This study models the value and tradeoffs of one method versus the other using discrete event simulation. Progressive Phase Maintenance offers more efficiency in terms of time available for missions and may be applicable other airframes. Using the airframe specific Aeronautical Equipment Maintenance Management Policies and Procedures Training Manual and a operational data set from a deployed aviation unit, this study compares the two overhaul maintenance schedules in terms of operational readiness. The effectiveness of each method is measured in the amount of time each airframe is for missions.

AB This report was commissioned by Lockheed Martin Corporation in order to develop a predictive model capable of identifying potential enemy ballistic missile launch sites prior to launch. This model will use geospatial data in conjunction with intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance assets in order to identify likely missile launch sites. The utilization of this model will save time when planning missions and engaging targets. This model will provide the commander with the ability destroy a launch site before it has a chance to fire a missile. Since enemy offensive missiles heavily outnumber the amount of American defensive missiles, this model uses an offensive approach in a field that has historically taken a defensive stance. Destroying enemy launch sites before they can fire ensures the most efficient use of missile assets. The prototype algorithm will be built using a commercial geospatial software tool, ArcGIS, and evaluating open-source data. The prototype will evaluate geographical data in order to focus assets on areas that are conducive to missile launch sites. This algorithm will then be exported to a tactical operating system capable of simulating missile engagements on a global scale and allowing commanders to make informed decisions regarding missile threats. The result of this project will have two parts. The first part will be a model in ArcGIS that will identify potential enemy launch sites based on geographic location and characteristics of the terrain. The second part of this project will be a graphical display that will output all relevant information to the commander. This information will include the coordinates of the possible launch sites, expected missile type, and range of each weapon system.

AB The United States Army uses war games to better understand the outcome of military maneuvers before formal executed. These war games seldom include the use of non-kinetic tactics and counterinsurgency doctrine. Thus, they limit viable courses of action that can be taken in support of regional stability. This study uses a regression model to model the integration of non-kinetic actions into a war game and produce a measure of stability for every action that is taken. It will allow military leadership to assess non-kinetic effects using a general model that can be applied to a broad set of regions.

AB A war game can be defined as a realistic representation of inputs and outcomes in line with real world situations in a military environment. The Center for Army Analysis runs a war game simulation in order to gain insights and analyze counterinsurgency operations for higher level military commanders. The war gaming process is designed to develop a methodology that allows for the analysis of counterinsurgency operations at the operation/strategic levels. The adjudication table within the war game is used to predict outcomes based on troop levels, and is based solely on data from U.S. counterinsurgency missions in Iraq. With the withdrawal of forces from Iraq and now soon Afghanistan, it will be important to expand the scope of the adjudication table in order to improve the adaptability and accuracy of the war gaming process. An expanded adjudication table will allow the process to model counterinsurgency operations of the future that we have little knowledge of today. It can expedite decision making at the strategic level by modeling a wider expanse of solutions for an unfamiliar war zone. Outcomes can consist of a variety of possibilities to include number of insurgent attacks, total number of insurgents, and troop levels required to defeat the insurgency. In order to expand the scope of the adjudication table we have analyzed a number of counterinsurgency operations across a wide variety of countries and time periods. Incorporating additional conflicts into the adjudication table will allow for the adaptation of the war game to any potential number of conflicts in the future.

   Verification; Statistical Analysis
AB The United States Military uses simulations extensively in order to conduct detailed cost benefit analysis, facilitate the procurement, development and testing of systems, and to train and educate service members. The models that the military uses are only beneficial as long as they accurately mirror reality based on known data. As combat evolves, simulations must improve at a matched rate in order to stay relevant. Currently, the Infantry Warrior Simulation (IWARS) program has been through limited validation processes concerning its data on body hit distributions in the simulation versus the body hit distributions from actual combat.
   The IWARS models are developed through firsthand accounts collected through extensive research and stakeholder analysis. Common aspects of current engagements are then combined into a number of scenarios that the project team will simulate through IWARS. The project team will then use statistical analysis to compare the real and virtual data sets to determine to what degree the simulation matches the collected historical data. The project team will run multiple scenarios and trials in order to create statistically significant data. At the conclusion of this research project and through detailed statistical analysis, the design team will validate the IWARS output against historical data.

AB As the US Army transitions to a regionally aligned architecture, analysts are seeking new and innovative geospatial applications to inform the operations planning process for unfamiliar terrain. In this paper, we outline our systems approach used to develop a suite of geospatial analysis tools used to plan military operations in the urban environment as part of a larger research effort to develop tactical geospatial tools for the US Army (Situational Awareness Geospatially Enabled (SAGE)). This paper describes the iterative stakeholder analysis used to accurately identify operational needs, requirements, capability gaps and associated importance, and the comprehensive methodology used to generate the suite of tools. This research was unique in that we simultaneously developed a recommended suite of tools in addition to a formalized geospatial tool development methodology for the clients' later use. This paper describes the development and application of this methodology which categorically decomposed military operations, aligned stakeholder requirements with existing capabilities, and architected new geospatial capabilities consistent with the existing geospatial program architecture. Key to the developed methodology is that it produced geospatial tools which capitalized upon previously developed technologies, maintained the program's operational theme, and logically developed capabilities which directly satisfied requirements.

DE Slavery; Soft System Dynamics Methodology; Soft Systems Methodology;
   System Dynamics
AB This study utilizes soft system dynamics methodology to analyze modern-day slavery in order to increase understanding and communicate the complexities of slavery. The authors collaborated with Free The Slaves (FTS), a Washington D.C.-based non-governmental organization, in order to gain feedback throughout the modeling process. FTS activists conduct frontline work and have an expertise in understanding how people become susceptible to slavery, victims of slavery, how they are freed, and how they can become slave-proof or highly unlikely to be susceptible to slavery. The authors are currently creating a base macro model of the variables that affect how a community first becomes susceptible to slavery, which will theoretically represent any community in the world. This model will then be tested using assessment data collected by FTS on the North and South Kivu Regions of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). This analysis of the DRC may include slavery's roots, geography, growth, magnitude, supply chain of the mining and movement of conflict minerals, the role of law and local organizations, and an overlay of how FTS affects the system. While the ultimate goal for this research is to create proposals for desirable and culturally feasible changes that can reduce the extent of slavery in the North and South Kivu Regions of the DRC, this paper focuses on the first stages of analysis and the base model of the factors that make a community vulnerable to slavery. This paper recommends areas for future research and discussion on how to build further upon the base model.

AB Imagine the following three-variable Venn diagram: One circle represents the field of applied and professional ethics, a second circle represents military operations, and the third circle represents the practice of engineering, particularly construction projects. We can, without much difficulty, picture what the overlapping areas between any two circles refer to: engineering ethics, military ethics and military engineering. What I would like to address in this paper is the area common to all three circles: is there room for a unique field of ethics called "military engineering ethics"? I contend that there is, and in this presentation I propose to sketch out why and what that might look like.

AB Silicon carbide based transistors have great promise in high temperature and high power applications. In particular, the great promise of silicon carbide based metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) has been somewhat limited by materials physics problems in the region near the silicon carbide-silicon dioxide interface. Materials physics problems in SiC bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) are also topics of current interest. Studies involving a combination of high, low, and zero field electrically detected magnetic resonance via spin dependent recombination provide a powerful approach for the understanding of SiC transistor materials physics problems. In this paper, we will review our group's work on multi-field spin dependent recombination of 4H SiC based MOSFETs and BJTs. We emphasize the physical principles involved in the measurements in part because they could potentially be quite useful if they were to be applied to other wide band gap semiconductor device systems.

ID JAMMING ATTACKS
AB We develop a theoretical approach to derive system throughput for single-hop wireless networks where U users share a spectrum set theta(U) of n independent channels, and J jammers attack the system by selecting channels from a spectrum set theta(J) of N independent channels while theta(U) subset of theta(J). Users and jammers follow the given policies to randomly select channels at each time slot. The whole system can be modeled as a Markov chain. The key point is to derive the transition probability matrix and obtain the stationary distribution. Then, the theoretical system throughput can be computed straightforwardly. Another interesting problem is to study the system failure probability for the scenario where each user pair has multiple links. The network model is modified as: m user pairs share a spectrum set theta(U) and each user pair has c links. System failure happens when at least one user pair fails all of its links. A two-step approach is developed to compute the system failure probability for the modified model. Numerical experiments are used to validate theoretical results.

AB In the real world, various systems can be modeled using heterogeneous networks which consist of entities of different types. Many problems on such networks can be mapped to an underlying critical problem of discovering top-K subgraphs of entities with rare and surprising associations. Answering such subgraph queries efficiently involves two main challenges: (1) computing all matching subgraphs which satisfy the query and (2) ranking such results based on the rarity and the interestingness of the associations among entities in the subgraphs. Previous work on the matching problem can be harnessed for a naive ranking-after-matching solution. However, for large graphs, subgraph queries may have enormous number of matches, and so it is inefficient to compute all matches when only the top-K matches are desired. In this paper, we address the two challenges of matching and ranking in top-K subgraph discovery as follows. First, we introduce two index structures for the network: topology index, and graph maximum metapath weight index, which are both computed offline. Second, we propose novel top-K mechanisms to exploit these indexes for answering interesting subgraph queries online efficiently. Experimental results on several synthetic datasets and the DBLP and Wikipedia datasets containing thousands of entities show the efficiency and the effectiveness of the proposed approach in computing interesting subgraphs.

AB Debates have been used as a tool to promote active learning in the classroom. Role-play debates have been used to bring more realism to the issue being debated. In a junior-level environmental science course, role-play debates were utilized to present and discuss controversial environmental issues in realistic scenarios that occur throughout the United States. Using these debates as a platform, a model to build, assess, and reflect on students' metacognition was developed and implemented. This model provides a method to assess a student's metacognitive ability and allow for reflection and improvement in this area.

AB In this paper, experimental measurements of path loss and pulse broadening in long-distance non-line-of-sight (NLOS) ultraviolet (UV) communications are reported and analyzed, with measurements at distances up to 4 km. The comparison of these results with a multiple-scattering channel model based on the Monte Carlo simulation of photon propagation provides strong evidence of the validity of this modeling approach. Additionally, channel models incorporating the effects of turbulence are also considered, but mismatch between experimental results and predictions of the turbulence models suggest the potential for model refinement. Overall, the experimental and simulation results presented here serve to advance the study of NLOS UV channel modeling, an essential component of communication system design.

AB The welding process introduces heat, plastic deformation, and chemical variation into the weld joints and modifies the microstructure, strength, and ductility of the welded region. Samples from two plates of Al 2139-T8 alloys welded together by friction stir welding (FSW) were examined. The microstructure of the stir zone (SZ), thermomechanical affected zone (TMAZ), and the unaffected base alloy were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron backscattered diffraction. The deformation and quasi-static tensile behavior of the samples from the SZ, TMAZ, and unaffected base alloy were examined by in-situ tensile experiments in the SEM, at room temperature and at 300 degrees C. The SZ samples showed higher elongation to failure and the unaffected base alloy exhibited the least amount of elongation. The ultimate tensile strength was determined to be lower in the TMAZ, and the yield strength increased away from the FSW region. The higher temperature tensile experiments showed a significant reduction in strength. The full results of the effect of the FSW on the Al2139-T8 microstructure and tensile behavior will be discussed in detail.

AB Lithium/sulfur (Li/S) battery cannot come into practical applications because of many problems, such as low charging efficiency, high self-discharge rate and short cycle life, all of which are related to the dissolution of high-order lithium polysulfide ( PS, Li2Sn, n >= 4) into the liquid electrolyte and resulting parasitic reactions with the Li anode. Since the dissolution of high-order PS in the liquid electrolyte is inevitable and essential to the cell's performance, one should allow the PS to dissolve while minimizing the parasitic reactions. To do this, nanostructured materials have been widely employed to confine the diffusion of the dissolved PS out of the cathode, such as approaches using highly porous carbon, metal oxide additive, and conductive polymer. In this presentation, we start with the fundamental chemistry of the Li/S battery to review how nanostructured materials can be effectively used in the rechargeable Li/S batteries.

AB In this work, the role of atomistic-scale energetics on liquid-metal embrittlement of aluminum (Al) due to gallium (Ga) was explored. Ab-initio and molecular mechanics were employed to probe the formation energies of vacancies and segregation energies of Ga for < 100 >, < 110 > and < 111 > symmetric tilt grain boundaries (STGBs) in Al. Results show that site-to-site variation of formation and segregation energies within the boundary are substantial, with the majority of sites having lower energies than the bulk values. Moreover, a few GBs such as Sigma 3(111) and Sigma 11(113) of different tilt axes with relatively high segregation energies (between 0 and -0.1 eV) at the boundary were also found, providing a new atomistic perspective in the GB engineering of material with smart GB networks to mitigate or control LME and more general embrittlement phenomena in alloys.

For detecting hidden targets, many technologies have been considered such as ground penetrating radar (GPR), infrared cameras, and even visible wavelength cameras. In this work, we propose fusing visible and infrared sensors for automatic detection of shallowly buried (< 10cm) or above ground targets. We use Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) to create a base model of the temperature and color variation of the background scene and dynamically update our models for new scenes. Anomalous temperatures and colors are identified using the GMM components. Fusion is performed at the pixel level, confidence map level, and decision level for comparison. Data was collected with a Xenics Gobi 480 long wave infrared camera and a Canon Powershot A1200 visible wavelength camera with metal targets placed in various concealed configurations. The observed results show that infrared can detect shallowly buried targets and targets above ground "out in the open" effectively, but cannot detect metal targets nearby bushes. Visible cameras, on the other hand, can detect the metal targets in the bushes effectively. Confidence map and decision level fusion led to the best results when there was a mix of buried targets and targets hidden in bushes.

AB Since the discovery of HIV as the causative agent of AIDS in 1983/1984, remarkable progress has been made in finding antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) that are effective against it. A major breakthrough occurred in 1996 when it was found that triple drug therapy (HAART) could durably suppress viral replication to minimal levels. It was then widely felt, however, that HAART was too expensive and complex for low-and middle-income countries, and so, with the exception of a few of these countries, such as Brazil, a massive scale-up did not begin until the WHO launched its '3 by 5' initiative and sizeable funding mechanisms, such as the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria and the US President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), came into existence. A pivotal enabler of the scale-up was a steady lowering of drug prices through entry of generic antiretrovirals, competition between generic manufacturers and the making of volume commitments. The WHO Prequalification of Medicines Programme and the Expedited Review Provision of the US Food and Drug Administration have been important for the assurance of quality standards. Antiretroviral drug development by research-based pharmaceutical companies continues, with several important innovative products, such as long-acting agents, in the pipeline.

AB Many complex networks exhibit homophilic, or assortative degree mixing-the tendency for networked nodes to connect with others of similar degree. For social networks, this phenomenon is often referred to colloquially by the mantra 'your friends have more friends than you do.' We analyzed datasets for 16 directed social networks, and report that some of them exhibit both assortative (positive correlations) and disassortative (negative correlations) degree mixing across the totality of their degrees. We show that this mixed trend can be predicted based on the value of Pearson correlations computed for the directed networks. This stands in contrast to previous results reported for social networks that mark them as purely assortative. Finally, we discuss mechanisms by which these trends emerge from random models of network creation.

AB Broadcast chat messages among team members in an organization can be used to evaluate team coordination and performance. Intuitively, a well-coordinated team should reflect the team hierarchy, which would indicate that team members assigned with particular roles are performing their jobs effectively. Existing approaches to identify hierarchy are limited to data from where graphs can be extracted easily. We contribute a novel approach that takes as input broadcast messages, extracts communication patterns-as well as semantic, communication, and social features-and outputs an organizational hierarchy. We evaluate our approach using a dataset of broadcast chat communications from a large-scale Army exercise for which ground truth is available. We further validate our approach on the Enron corpus of corporate email.

AB This paper presents an application that performs multi-objective geospatial optimizations for tactical mission planning in an urban environment. Utilizing a XML-driven C++ framework developed for hybrid platforms, the application distributes computational tasks to a collection of heterogeneous OpenCL devices and achieves efficient task parallel scaling. The framework abstracts the details of the mission scenario setup, compute device architecture details, and task scheduling to enable robust extensibility in software. Performance scalability and multi-objective parameter visualization for a prototypical mission scenario are documented in this study.

AB The spinel-structured LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO) has drawn much attention as a Li-ion battery cathode material with potential electric vehicle applications due to its high operating voltage (similar to 4.7 V vs. Li/Li+) and relatively high energy density (similar to 680 Wh kg(-1)). LNMO-based cells, however, tend to suffer from capacity fading due to transition metal dissolution that is exacerbated by increased temperatures. In this study, the electrolyte additives LiDFOB, HFiP, FEC and combinations of the three were investigated to determine which additives are able to properly passivate the LNMO surface to hinder Ni and Mn dissolution and thus enable high temperature cycling with a reduced fade rate. A combination of FEC and HFiP additives yielded the best high temperature performance with a Coulombic efficiency >97% and a decreased electrolyte decomposition above 4.8 V.

AB The blast induced Traumatic Brain Injury (bTBI) has become a signature wound of therecent military operations. In spite of immense clinical and preclinical research on TBI, current understanding of injury mechanisms is limited and little is known about the short and long-term outcomes. Unlike the impact-related brain injury, the mechanisms involved in blast induced mild TBI (mTBI) have not been clearly understood. Mathematical models of human body, head and brain responses to a blast wave may provide capabilities to study brain injury mechanisms, perhaps accelerating the development of neuroprotective strategies and aiding in the development of improved personal protective equipment. The paper presents a novel multiscale, multiphysics simulation framework for modeling blast induced brain injury. We identify modeling components needed for detailed analysis of blast wave threat characterization, human body loading, body biodynamic response and body/brain biomechanics leading to potential primary injury. The paper also discusses the need for coupled modeling of primary injury biomechanics, secondary injury mechanobiology and model based assessment of injury severity scores.

   Aggregation; Transmission Prioritization
AB Alert Aggregation in mobile networks plays an important role in mitigating the adverse impact of alert generation by reducing the amount of communication and security data to be transmitted. However, it is not guaranteed that the bandwidth necessary to transmit all aggregated alerts is always available, which usually result in the transmission of a portion of the alerts, while others are discarded or queued. The transmission of insufficient alert information hinders making correct decisions about attacks, leading to compromising network security. In order to maximize the benefits of data aggregation while minimizing the impact of partial alerts, this paper presents a risk-driven real-time transmission prioritization technique for implementing lossy and lossless aggregation of cyber alerts. Lossy alert aggregation and transmission are managed adaptively by allowing the prioritization and transmission of aggregated alerts according to the risk assessment of such alerts. This paper also presents a risk-driven utilization model that further adapts the aggregation and prioritization in response to dynamic network conditions. The performance results of the proposed techniques are obtained by running simulations on data collected from a mobile network. Simulation results for the aggregation of raw alerts have shown an average reduction of 51% in data storage space and bandwidth usage.

AB The electromagnetic and thermal response of composites subjected to magnetic fields is simulated by solving Maxwell and heat transfer equations simultaneously. The developed analysis accounts for the anisotropic nature of the electrical and thermal properties in three dimensions. A finite element code is developed to predict the response of composite structures subjected to transient magnetic fields. The analysis has been validated against a closed form solution and applied to simulate the induction heating process of composite cylinders. The developed analysis can be applied to the design of modern electrical weapons and used to simulate composite manufacturing processes such as induction cure.

AB This paper reports our recent progress on a highly flexible dynamic perfect absorber at terahertz (THz) frequencies. Metamaterial unit cells were patterned on thin GaAs patches, which were fashioned in an array on a 5 mu m polyimide substrate via transfer printing technique, and the backside of the substrate was coated with gold film as ground plane. Optical- pump THz- probe reflection measurements show that the absorptivity at resonance frequency of 1.58THz can be tuned up to 57% through photo- excitation of free carriers in GaAs layers in presence of 800nm pump beam. Our flexible tunable MM perfect absorber exhibits potential applications in energy harvesting, imaging and stealth coating.

AB We consider the problem of estimating an input signal from noisy measurements in both parallel scalar Gaussian channels and linear mixing systems. The performance of the estimation process is quantified by the l(infinity)-norm error metric (worst case error). Our previous results have shown for independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) Gaussian mixture input signals that, when the input signal dimension goes to infinity, the Wiener filter minimizes the l(infinity)-norm error. However, the input signal dimension is finite in practice. In this paper, we estimate the finite dimensional input signal by minimizing the mean l(p)-norm error. Numerical results show that the l(p)-norm minimizer outperforms the Wiener filter, provided that the value of p is properly chosen. Our results further suggest that the optimal value of p increases with the signal dimension, and that for i.i.d. Bernoulli-Gaussian input signals, the optimal p increases with the percentage of nonzeros.

AB The interaction of a shaped charge jet impacting energetic materials is often characterized by a rapid release of chemical energy to the surrounding environment. Understanding the effectual parameters and predicting the ensuing energy release are crucial to the design and development of systems or facilities that house such energetics. Of particular interest, the response of propellants to primary and secondary jet interactions at low loading densities offers researchers the opportunity to explore complex sub-detonative outcomes. This paper addresses (1) a decomposition of possibilities, (2) an experimental technique to isolate parameters, and (3) pressure responses for a nitrocellulose-based propellant subject to direct jet interaction and jet-originated spall fragment interaction. These experimental results allow for a more fundamental understanding of the energy response across the temporal domain offering insights foundational to the development of predictive techniques.

AB Under the Scalable Technology for Adaptive Response Army Technology Objective (STAR ATO) effort, the Armaments Research Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC) developed a novel propellant for the 105 mm gun system that employs projectiles that are 20% heavier than standard projectiles. Thermodynamic modeling and simulation was utilized in the early stages to develop several high energy formulations. Those formulations were then manufactured and closed bombed to determine their burn rates. The burn rates and thermodynamic data were then utilized in IBHVG2 to optimize the grain and web geometries for the 105mm gun system. Finally, one candidate formulation was produced and test fired at Yuma Proving Grounds in the 105mm gun system. The ARDEC propellant is a safe, stable, propellant with a flat temperature profile that easily met and exceeded the muzzle velocity (500 m/sec minimum), chamber pressure (49,500 psi maximum), and zone overlap requirements (10% minimum) for the new heavier projectiles. Even higher velocities can be achieved by increasing the charge loading density, owing to the low chamber pressure produced by the ARDEC propellant. The ARDEC propellant is also a 4 zone solution leading to more simplified logistics with respect to the multi-zone bag charges currently employed in the 105mm system.

AB In this effort, the Armaments Research Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC), along with Saint Mark's Ball & Powder, examined the effects of surface coating, and deterring double base BALL POWDER (R) Propellants. We employed a variety of organic and inorganic salts as either a surface coating or as a deterrent and compared them to grains deterred with dibutyl-phthalate (DBP). DBP is a toxic organic compound that is being slowly phased out of production, and it has been shown to migrate over time, leading to decreases in ballistic efficiency of ball powders that have been stored for extended periods of time. All samples were closed bombed to determine their relative force (RF) and relative quickness (RQ) in comparison to the DBP deterred ball powders and ensure that they are safe to fire in a 7.62mm gun. All candidates that did not substantially exceed the RF and RQ of the baseline powders were then fired in 7.62mm rounds. Herein we present the ballistic data for these gun firings. One inorganic sample demonstrated itself to be a drop in replacement for DBP, because its ballistic profile matched perfectly to that of the DBP baseline powder, even at a loading density 15% lower than that of the DBP baseline powder. Furthermore, since the sample is inorganic, it should not migrate through the grain over time, thereby maintaining ballistic efficiency even after prolonged storage.

AB The US Army Research Laboratory (ARL) has designed a custom small caliber gun breech capable of measuring the force output seen at the primer during the interior ballistic (IB) event. This novel measurement technique provides insight into the early time (0 - 100 mu s) IB performance of a cartridge otherwise overlooked by standard mid-case pressure measurements. Furthermore, an extremely short barrel gun is employed with high speed imaging to capture first motion of the projectile. Together these diagnostic tools provide researchers with state-of-the-art characterization capabilities of early time IB events including primer performance and primer-propellant interactions. This paper will investigate the influence of barrel leade (free bore) on the cartridge's IB performance.

AB A novel technique for quantifying the initial motion of projectiles (5.56 mm and 7.62 mm) in unmodified small caliber ammunition is demonstrated. Evidence that the primer in these rounds launches the bullet into the engraving is presented. The impulse resulting from the primers (No. 41 and No. 34, respectively) is measured and compared to the bullet momentum. Values for velocity and acceleration at early time are shown which are consistent with intuition. Other consequences of the accurate measurements of the motion and associated pressure include comparing work done on the bullet to the kinetic energy as a function of position or time.

AB Cellulose acetate nitrate (CAN) was used as an insensitive energetic binder to improve the insensitive munitions (IM) properties of gun propellants to replace the M1 propellant used in 105mm artillery charges. CAN contains the energetic nitro groups found in nitrocellulose (NC), but also acetyl functionalities, which lowered the polymer's sensitivity to heat and shock, and therefore improved its IM properties relative to NC. The formulation, development and small-scale characterization testing of several CAN-based propellants were done. The formulations, using insensitive energetic solid fillers and high-nitrogen modifiers in place of nitramine were completed. The small scale characterization testing, such as closed bomb testing, small scale sensitivity, thermal stability, and chemical compatibility were done. The mechanical response of the propellants under high-rate uni-axial compression at, hot, cold, and ambient temperatures were also completed. Critical diameter testing, hot fragment conductive ignition (HFCI) tests were done to evaluate the propellants' responses to thermal and shock stimuli. Utilizing the propellant chemical composition, theoretical predictions of erosivity were completed. All the small scale test results were utilized to down-select the promising CAN based formulations for large scale demonstration testing such as the ballistic performance and fragment impact testing in the 105mm M67 artillery charge configurations. The test results completed in the small and large scale testing are discussed.

AB During the ammunition design phase the evaluation of structural survivability during gun launch is a critical parameter. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a useful tool for evaluation as it allows designers to visualize phenomena that would otherwise be impossible to capture through live fire testing methods. Current methods in FEA launch analysis usually involves using a Pressure-Time (PT) curve obtained from live fire testing as a boundary condition to drive the ammunition down the gun barrel. While this is a good approximation for the structural response, these "dummy" PT curves cannot react to or accurately model real life phenomena such as over or under size bullets, propellant changes, or bore obstructions because they are completely uncoupled to the physics in the model. This paper studies the results of coupling ARDECIB, a lumped mass interior ballistic code developed at ARDEC similar to IBHVG3, with the FEA code ABAQUS. In this approach pressure data is generated, within ARDECIB by modeling burning propellants, and passed into the FEA code at the same time projectile travel outputs from FEA are passed back to the interior ballistic code. Pressure time curves generated from the linked code are compared with pure IBHVG3 codes and real life test data. A discussion on this code's value as a predictive tool with limited test data shall be presented.

AB Future enhanced lethal effects at the squad level likely include precision guided technologies. The focus of this study is maneuvering projectiles launched from man portable weapon systems. A novel guided projectile concept is proposed for achieving control authority requirements in the challenging environment of low dynamic pressure, small size, high launch loads, spin-stabilization, and low cost. This new maneuver concept is based on a rotating wing actuator. Experimental and advanced computational aerodynamics techniques were applied to enable flight simulation. Maneuvering flight simulations demonstrated that this concept may afford enough course correction to compensate for ballistic delivery errors.

AB Penetrator flexure is typically viewed as a launch dynamics structural issue that is addressed during the development of long rod penetrators. Rod flexure is also of interest from an exterior ballistics standpoint because the aerodynamic forces and moments acting on the projectile can induce flexure resonance resulting in reduced accuracy and reduced effective range. Aerodynamic experiments have demonstrated long rod penetrators can be subjected to a visible amount of in-flight flexure. Experimental data indicated that the rod's initial bending plane orientation relative to the global coordinate frame appears to precess at a rate much less that the projectile roll rate. In this paper, structural simulations are developed and presented in order to expound upon the precession phenomenon established by the experimental data. For low roll rate penetrators, the simulations show that the rod's bending plane remains largely fixed in the global coordinate system.

AB The US Army Research Laboratory is conducting research to explore technologies that may be suitable for maneuvering man-portable munitions. Current research is focused on rotary actuators with spin-stabilized munitions. This is in contrast to linear (reciprocating) actuators which would need to constantly change direction, resulting in large accelerations and large forces, thereby driving up the actuator power. A rotational actuator would be operating at a fairly constant rotation rate once it is up to speed, resulting in much lower power requirements. Actuator experiments conducted over a variety of conditions validate dynamic models of the actuator and supply data necessary for model parameter estimation. Actuator performance metrics of spin rate response, friction, and power requirements were derived from the data. This study indicates that this class of maneuver concepts can be driven with these actuators. These results enable actuator design and multi-disciplinary simulation of refined maneuver concepts for a specific application.

AB Observations of projectile free flight motion are used in making estimates of the aerodynamic coefficients in the differential equations describing that motion. Since the last years of the 20th century, state measurements of large caliber projectiles throughout flight have been successfully made using onboard instrumentation and telemetry systems. Because a single flight can span a wide range of mach numbers and angular motions, analysis of these data greatly enhances the ability to obtain aerodynamic characterization of projectiles in a timely fashion at reduced costs. Beginning in 2012, the Army Research Laboratory undertook to design, build, and demonstrate via flight experiments an instrumentation/ telemetry system to achieve a similar capability for medium caliber projectiles. Hardware and software development and packaging efforts necessary to this successful effort will be described and flight experiment data will be shown and analyzed.

AB This report investigates GPS-denied inertial navigation using low-cost sensors for artillery projectiles equipped with course-correcting fuzes by introducing unique flight dynamics into the estimation algorithms. Low-cost sensor selection criteria specific to gyroscopically-stabilized projectiles are proposed. High fidelity modeling and simulation for course-correcting fuze projectiles underpin estimation algorithm development and assessment. The aided navigation techniques are the principal contribution of this report. An overarching position and velocity estimator is formulated along with estimators for attitude and sensor nuisance parameters embedded within this framework. Low cost sensors are accommodated in the algorithm by comparing sensor stimuli with expectations based on known, repeatable flight dynamics to provide in-flight calibration. Monte Carlo simulations were conducted. Results provide the relationship between the time-of-flight that external measurements are received and the navigation and overall weapon system performance. These limited data indicate that guided system accuracy improves by a factor of 2 over ballistic accuracy if external measurements from radar or GPS are provided around 10 sec into the flight. When external measurements are provided past halfway into flight the performance improves to near GPS-only levels.

AB A recent test program required firing a saboted projectile through a spark shadowgraph range. The sabot design included a pusher assembly that would follow directly behind the projectile in the early portion of the flight. Initial testing showed that a subscale launch package assembled from parts built from plastic via rapid prototyping (3-D printing) and fired from a 2 '' diameter air gun exhibited similar sabot discard performance to the full-size projectile. Subsequent evaluation of several sabot concepts revealed that the best design had one of the four sabot petals firmly attached to the pusher assembly using an aluminum rod (stripper pole), so that the discarding sabot petal pulled the pusher assembly off of the line of fire. The modified assembly was fabricated and successfully tested in the full-scale 8 '' gun.

AB Determination of the ballistic limit of candidate armor materials is often a purely experimental process involving little more than trial and error. Attempts to predict the ballistic response of novel materials such as polymers are often based on assumed material properties that are poorly understood or have little influence on the overall performance of the material. One such material property that is often overlooked is tan delta, the ratio of a polymer's loss modulus to storage modulus. These values are both rate and temperature dependent and were proposed to dominate the failure of certain ballistic regimes by Roland et al.([1]) The focus of this study was to determine what, if any, correlation exists between tan d and ballistic limit in the specific case of low-mass (2gn), high-velocity (similar to 1800 m/s) projectiles impacting a range of polymers. In the absence of a direct correlation between tan d and ballistic limit, the study shifted focus to the material properties that dominate failure in these events. Target samples of various commercially available plastics were subjected to laboratory ballistics testing, and the ballistic limit (V-50) was determined for each material. The results of the ballistics tests were then compared to the tan d, loss modulus, and storage modulus of each material as well as other material properties to determine the correlations present and quantify the contribution of each on high-speed, low-mass projectile penetration into polymers.

AB Sapphire, a single crystal of aluminum oxide, is of interest to U.S. Army and one of the candidate materials for use as the hard strike face of a transparent laminated armor. Strassburger et al studied monolithic single crystal sapphire plates (100 mm x 100 mm x 10 mm) in crystallographically controlled directions, such as the (0001) basal plane, 450 m/s with both steel solid cylinders and spheres. The edge-on impact (EOI) ballistic behavior of these plates is simulated using the non-linear AUTODYN commercial package by using three-dimensional, 180 degrees (reflective) modeling and simulation. This study reports on the ability and the modification of existing strength and failure material models of Al2O3 to be used as sapphire models for duplication of the experimental fracture and wave propagation in sapphire of different crystal orientation with respect to the line of impact.

AB To explore the terminal effects of multiple impacts into a single concrete target, modeling and simulation was performed at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory. These simulations employ the CTH shock physics code to build geometry and perform the calculations. This work explores the results predicted by the Holmquist-Johnson-Cook concrete model, which uses a coupled equation of state and strength model. Results explored include the effect that spacing between penetrators has on penetrator residual velocity. Also explored is the effect of two different impact timings, which bound the problem: simultaneous impact and successive impact. This paper presents the modeling approach used, validation of numerical simulations, and results illustrating the effect of penetrator spacing on residual velocity.

Numerical simula-tions of borosilicate glass behavior using the ARL glass model are conducted and compared with published experimental results, and found to be mesh sensitive. The triaxial failure strengths within the ARL glass model are volume scaled and given Weibull distributions. The effect of the statistical perturbation and other fea-tures are explored. It is found that the ARL glass model, when given a stochastic parameterization, is able to capture material variability and scale effects though the mesh sensitivity is not improved. The ARL glass model is able to capture many trends in published ballistic data but not time- resolved fracture behavior.

AB Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) composite laminates were evaluated in ballistic testing to understand the effect of material architecture on the mechanisms involved in the transmission of stress waves during non-penetrating ballistic events. Little insight exists in the understanding of physiological effects of non-penetrating ballistic events, and the role ballistic materials and architecture play on the mitigation of stress transmission after impact. Previous ARL work has led to developmental architectures, including ARL X Hybrid, which exhibit improved resistance to back face deformation at no cost to ballistic resistance. The X Hybrid configuration was evaluated against the standard [0 degrees/90 degrees] composite layup to determine whether the architecture exhibited improved mitigation of stress wave transmission. Panels were tested and characterized using ARL's Behind Armor Blunt Trauma testing configuration to elucidate the mechanistic effects in both configurations.

AB Body armor that is designed to prevent bullets from perforating may cause injury due to the resulting backface deformation of the armor. However, behind-armor blunt trauma criteria and subsequent injury evaluations are known throughout the testing and evaluation community to have major limitations. This study assessed three evaluation tools fabricated to address some of the limitations: an anthropometric tool equipped with accelerometers and force sensors, a cylindrical response element with a laser displacement measurement device, and a hemi-cylindrical response element using digital image correlation.
   Although none of the evaluation tools were able to repeatedly and reliably measure the dynamic impact event, the tests allowed for the identification of key design considerations and methodology improvements for future devices. Material and instrumentation limitations were the greatest contributors to poor performance. As research continues to advance understanding in characterizing surrogate materials and improve instrumentation capabilities, a successful evaluation tool may soon be realized.

AB A standard plywood mannequin has been used for several decades by the military for evaluating personnel vulnerability to fragmenting munitions. It is used in both the context of lethality and survivability. The plywood mannequin was designed prior to the first ANSUR anthropometric survey and though it was designed to have a median stature relevant to the enemy combatant, the rest of its dimensions appear to be chosen arbitrarily. It has occasionally been criticized for the unusual dimensions in the upper extremities. Here, we propose a method for evaluating the plywood mannequin within the anthropometric space of the U.S. Army population. Using data collected from updated anthropometric studies and computer-assisted design, a population of new mannequins was created based on the current design of the plywood mannequin. This paper examines the currently used de facto standard and compares its vulnerability to that of a set of newly proposed plywood mannequins.

AB Personnel protective equipment (PPE) is a primary element in the line of defense against fragmenting threats and is consequently a high-visibility subject area for the U.S. military. The Army Research Laboratory, Survivability/Lethality Analysis Directorate (ARL/SLAD) performs analyses to quantify the benefit of protecting the body from ballistic threats. ARL/SLAD developed an approach to holistically combine the characterization of the ballistic fragment threat with its effect on human injury, basic human functionality and their ultimate effect on military performance on the battlefield. Using the outcome metrics of injury, functional capability, and human performance from the Operational Requirement-based Casualty Assessment (ORCA) personnel model allows us to quantify armor benefit for various operational scenarios and military requirements.

A novel OpenCL-based parallel programming model for the Calxeda ARM server is achieved via the use of a higher level STandarD Compute Layer (STDCL) application programming interface and a remote procedure call (RPC) implementation. Empirical measurements of the performance of the platform are obtained and presented using an N-body code executed in various configurations. Furthermore, an auto-tuning technique was developed and analyzed for optimization of the N-body algorithm on a specific architecture.

AB This paper investigates the solidification of highly viscous energetic materials cast into a projectile. Active cooling and heating (ACH) control solidification technology as well as mechanical vibration (MV) are applied to achieve unidirectional solidification and to reduce cracks, gas pores, and shrinkage defects and to decrease the detrimental gap size between the projectile and the solidified energetic material. A comprehensive numerical model was developed to simulate the solidification processes during casting of energetic materials, as well as the resulting induced thermal stresses. The optimized design parameters of the proposed technologies are developed based on numerical modeling and experiment work.
   A detailed comparison between the latest experiments performed at the University of Alabama, Solidification Laboratory, obtained with electrical heating and water cooling and with and without mechanical vibration is provided in this paper. In these experiments, a special wax material (e.g., Chlorez 700S) that has similar thermo-physical properties with the IMX-104 explosive material was used. Experiments performed at the USARMY ARDEC using the IMX-104 explosive material with steam heating and water cooling are also presented in this paper. These experiments are being used to further validate the numerical model.

AB The results from accelerated pavement testing on warm-mix asphalt (WMA) mixtures designed for airfield pavements are presented. Three WMA mixtures and one hot-mix asphalt (HMA) mixture produced in an asphalt plant were evaluated under simulated heavy aircraft traffic. The evaluation was conducted at extreme traffic conditions, including heavy aircraft loading, high tire pressure, and high pavement temperature. Pavement structural response and rutting were evaluated to assess the susceptibility to permanent deformation of WMA mixtures compared with that of HMA produced with the same aggregate blend. Test results indicated that WMA was a viable product for surface mixtures on airfield pavements.

TI Load Transfer Characteristics of Precast Portland Cement Concrete Panels
   for Airfield Pavement Repairs
SO TRANSPORTATION RESEARCH RECORD
LA English
DT Article
AB Portland cement concrete pavement repair technologies using precast portland cement concrete panels have been investigated for decades and recently have gained acceptance and increased use in the United States for highway pavements but have had only limited use for airfields. The recent field testing of a new airfield precast panel repair system indicated that precast panels were suitable for expedient airfield pavement repairs; the panels could withstand between 5,000 and 10,000 passes of C-17 aircraft traffic. Failure of the panels was due to spalling of the transverse doweled joints. The purpose of this study was to determine the load transfer effectiveness, or load transfer efficiencies (LTEs), of the panel repairs. A heavy weight deflectometer was used to collect deflection data before, during, and after trafficking to calculate precast panel LTE on the basis of deflections (LTE delta) or transferred stresses (LT). The LTE values were then evaluated to determine whether current measures of effectiveness were suitable for precast panel repairs. From the results of this investigation, few of the joints provided the current military airfield design assumption of 25% LT, but the majority of the transverse joints exceeded the proposed LTE delta threshold of 70% even after failure of the transverse joints. It was recommended that additional field tests be conducted without the use of rapid-setting grout in the joints before recommendations on thresholds were made.

DE Critical thinking skills; creativity; innovation; disruptive technology
AB A desirable goal of engineering education is to teach students how to be creative and innovative. However, the speed of technological innovation and the continual expansion of disciplinary knowledge leave little time in the curriculum for students to formally study innovation. At West Point we have developed a novel upper-division undergraduate course that develops the critical thinking, creativity and innovation of undergraduate science and engineering students. This course is structured as a deliberate interactive engagement between students and faculty that employs the Socratic method to develop an understanding of disruptive and innovative technologies and a historical context of how social, cultural, and religious factors impact the acceptance or rejection of technological innovation. The course begins by developing the background understanding of what disruptive technology is and a historical context about successes and failures of social, cultural, and religious acceptance of technological innovation. To develop this framework, students read The Innovator's Dilemma by Clayton M. Christensen, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas S. Kuhn, The Discoverers by Daniel J. Boorstin, and The Two Cultures by C.P. Snow. For each class meeting, students survey current scientific and technical literature and come prepared to discuss current events related to technological innovation. Each student researches potential disruptive technologies and prepares a compelling argument of why the specific technologies are disruptive so they can defend their choice and rationale. During course meetings students discuss the readings and specific technologies found during their independent research. As part of this research, each student has the opportunity to interview forward thinking technology leaders in their respective fields of interest. In this paper we will describe the course and highlight the results from teaching this course over the past five years.

AB Originally, five candidates of nano-material were chosen for making stable nano-dispersions. Nano-graphite particles remain a practical choice for nano-fluids thermal application after taking divergent performance attributes into full account: significant thermal conductivity increases, minimal viscosity increase, low density for better dispersion stability, and relatively low cost, among others. Three different types of commercial antifreeze coolants were chosen for the integration with graphite nano-fluids. Without corrosion inhibitors, our nano-coolants typically fail both ASTM D15 engine coolant corrosion tests. Yet, heating up and adding in electrolytes are two common ways to destroy a nano-particle dispersion. After making adjustments in particle loading, choosing an effective dispersant, and establishing proper dispersant levels, one nano-graphite coolant made from commercial nano-source passed both engine coolant corrosion tests plus the CID AA-52624A compatibility and storage stability tests. Compared with the base fluid, the nano-graphite coolant's thermal conductivity has more than a 25 % increase at 2 vol. % particle loading, which is a significant enhancement.

AB While many methodologies have been proposed for calculating a quantitative level of autonomy for intelligent Unmanned Systems (UMS), no one definitive measure of autonomy or autonomous performance has been validated and adopted by the UMS community. Particularly for military applications, a simple performance metric that is based on the UMSs mission profile and is comparable between UMS systems is critical. This metric would not only help define the features a UMS needs to successfully perform its mission, both in terms of hardware and software, but also enable the use of UMS for a broader range of applications at an increased level of autonomy. This paper presents the development of a new methodology for calculating a single-number performance metric for autonomous UMS, and this metric is called the Mission Performance Potential (MPP). Rather than a retroactive measure of UMS performance and autonomy level for one iteration of a given scenario, the MPP separates autonomy level and mission performance to provide a predictive measure of a UMS's expected performance for a mission set and level of autonomy. As an example application, the MPP is calculated for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) performing a target tracking mission, and this MPP value is compared to the results of field-testing with this system.

AB We begin to bridge the gap between high-level motion planning and execution by adopting models to abstract the complicated skid-steer vehicle dynamics and evaluating their suitability as motion predictors for a feed-forward control framework. We consider three kinematic motion models and a drivetrain model in experiments on two surface types with a small tracked vehicle. We perform statistical analysis of the predictive accuracy of these models when used to create optimal open-loop plans for a set of canonical maneuvers and discuss the applicability of these models for a closed-loop control framework.

ID ROBOT
AB To robustly operate in dynamic, unknown environments, robots should be able to autonomously recover from simple errors such as tip-over. Most efforts to date have introduced specific techniques applied as point solutions on simple terrain. For a more general solution, we previously introduced a framework for analyzing and generating solutions to the self-righting problem for a generic robot. In this paper, we turn our attention toward understanding how a robot's morphology affects its ability to self-right. We begin by briefly reviewing our framework, which is used to generate the results within the paper. We then introduce a self-rightability metric that can be used to evaluate a given robot design's potential for self-righting. It can also be used to compare disparate designs. Next, we show how the metric can be used to perform a parametric study covering multiple design variables for a simple robot class. In this way, we hope to enable designers to begin to understand how design parameters such as joint limits, limb length, limb to body mass ratio, limb mass location, and body aspect ratio will affect the robot's ability to self-right on a variety of ground angles. Finally, we show a case study of limb mass and validate results using a modular, 3 degree of freedom physical robot. Ultimately, we hope to enable the production of robots that are more capable of autonomously self-righting.

AB Non-load related distresses are a major factor contributing to the need for maintenance and rehabilitation of Hot-Mix Asphalt (HMA) airfield pavements. By using pavement management system data, the quantity of these non-load related distresses can be determined. This paper summarizes data gleaned from the analysis of over 8 million square meters of HMA airfield pavement to identify the most significant types of surface distresses according to the Pavement Condition Index (PCI). These data represent 25 years of using the pavement management system, Micro PAVER, to determine the condition of U. S. Army airfield pavements. The quantity of longitudinal and transverse cracking, raveling and weathering, and block cracking was extracted from the database for various ages of pavements. In addition, the total percentage of non-load related distresses was identified for various ages of pavements. Findings from this analysis of existing data highlight the need for improved maintenance procedures to combat the need for maintenance and rehabilitation related to non-load distresses in HMA. The benefits of preventive maintenance are discussed, along with the need to monitor the application of various approaches using techniques employed by pavement management systems.

AB This research study focuses on the analytical evaluation of magneto-rheological (MR) dampers for enhanced occupant protection during vertical crash landings of a helicopter. The current state-of-the-art helicopter crew seat has passive safety mechanisms that are highly limited in their capability to optimally adapt to each type of crash scenario due to variations in both occupant weight and crash severity level. While passive crash energy absorbers work well for a single design condition (50111 percentile male occupant and fixed crash severity leve,1), they do not offer adequate protection across a broad spectrum of crash conditions by minimizing the load transmitted to the occupant. This study reports the development of a lumped-parameter human body model including lower leg in a seated posture for rotorcraft crash injury simulation. A physical model of lumped-parameter human body restrained on a crew seat was implemented in multi-body dynamics simulation software. For implementing control, a control algorithm was made to work with the multi-body dynamic model by running co-simulation. The injury criteria and tolerance levels for the biomechanical effects are discussed for each of the identified vulnerable body regions, such as the thoracic lumbar loads for different sized adults. The desired objective of this analytical model development is to develop a tool to study the performance of adaptive semi-active magnetorheological seat suspensions for rotorcraft occupant protection.

ID IRON-GALLIUM ALLOYS
AB This work deals with the development of a non-contact torque sensor system prototype made from rolled and textured Galfenol, a magnetostrictive alloy of Iron and Gallium. It is already known that this smart material exhibits a linear response to strain in the presence of appropriate biasing magnets. The response of a sensor system built from it follows commercially available strain gages. In this research, the magnetic change in Galfenol due to shear strain experienced by the shaft in torque will be monitored using Hall effect sensors to derive the torque information. Factors affecting the performance of this Wireless Magneto-Elastic Torque Sensor System (WIMETs) such as annealing, rolling process and strain transfer of adhesives shall be explored.
   The ability to provide real-time measurements with minimal signal conditioning requirements make a well-designed torque system attractive for applications such as condition based maintenance. Factors such as being non-contact and passive to the shaft, compact and easy to install, accurate, sensitive and cost effective are highly desired for any torque measurement system. A rate-of-change torque sensor that demonstrates both a sensitivity and time resolution high enough to not only recognize failing machinery, but to specifically identify the failing part is also a critical feature. These characteristics have been incorporated in the current design of WIMETs.
   A mathematical model for the magneto-elastic coupling along with simulations from COMSOL shall be presented. Results from static tests for various torques and dynamic tests for various torques at different RPMs will be discussed. It will be shown that the WiMET sensor system setup in a clamshell is reliable and exhibits sensitivity of up to 10mV/in-lb. over a wide range of torque (0-150 lb.-in). Its performance will be compared with a commercial torque sensor and results for detection of eccentric loads on the shaft will also be furnished.

The developed SiC-ETO is based on a 1 cm(2), 15 kV SiC p-GTO with an extremely low differential resistance. Static performance of the device, including the on-state voltage drop at different temperatures and different currents has been carried out in this paper. Furthermore, transient performance of the device, including the turn off energy of the device has been studied. Also, the superior performance of the p-type SiC-ETO has been exploited to design and implement a solid-state circuit breaker. The studies verify the superiority of the SiC p-ETO compared to other solid state devices for this application.

In this paper, we review the current status of the development of 10 kV - 20 kV class power devices in SiC, including MOSFETs, JBS diodes, IGBTs, GTO thyristors, and PiN diodes at Cree. Advantages and weakness of each device are discussed and compared. A strategy for high-voltage SiC power device development is proposed.

Vehicles with a consistent view of the sky, e.g., aerial or water surface platforms, can reliably make use of GPS signals to correct accumulated error from inertial measurements and feature-based mapping techniques. However, ground robots that must operate across a wide range of environments suffer from additional constraints which degrade the performance of GPS such as multipath and occlusion. In this paper, we present a methodology for incorporating GPS measurements into a feature-based mapping system for two purposes: providing geo-referenced coordinates for high-level mission execution and correcting accumulated map error over long-term operation. We will present both the underlying system and experimental results from a variety of relevant environments such as military training facilities and large-scale mixed indoor and outdoor environments.

AB A meso-scale heat recirculating combustor was used to examine the combustion characteristics of two specific synthetic fuels. One of the fuels was made via a Fischer-Tropsch (F-T fuel) process, while the other was produced from tallow (bio-jet fuel). The two fuels were burned in the meso-scale combustor using pure oxygen in a non-premixed injection configuration. The extinction behavior at the fuel-rich and fuel-lean combustion conditions has been investigated for each fuel. The results showed that although the two fuels showed some similarities, the F-T fuel exhibited stable, non-sooting combustion behavior at higher equivalence ratios than the bio-jet fuel. The lean stability limit for the bio-jet fuel was found to be lower (lower equivalence ratio) than that of the F-T fuel. The results were compared with conventional JP-8 jet fuel to provide a comparative analysis of combustion characteristics using the same combustor. A fuel characterization analysis was' performed for each fuel, and their respective thermal efficiencies calculated. The F-T and bio-jet fuels both reached a maximum thermal efficiency of about 95% near their respective rich extinction limits.

ID DISLOCATIONS; REDUCTION
AB Arsenic ion-implantation is a standard device processing step to create selective area p+-HgCdTe (MCT) regions in planar devices. One of the issues associated with the ion-implantation process is the significant structural damage to the MCT epilayer. These structural defects limit the performance of diodes via significant tunneling reverse-bias dark currents. After ion-implantation, a high temperature annealing step is required to activate the implant (arsenic) by moving it into the tellurium sublattice and also to heal the lattice damage caused by the implantation process. In this study, we have used thermal cycle annealing (TCA) to decrease ion implantation damage. In TCA, we rapidly heat and cool an MCT sample, which provides an additional degree of freedom that is not obtainable with conventional annealing. We have successfully performed TCA for dislocation defect reduction in in-situ indium-doped MCT with limited inter-diffusion between the absorber layer and cadmium rich cap layer. We also investigated the application of TCA to arsenic ion-implanted MCT. Defects were studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) after subjecting the samples to Benson etching to decorate the defects. Mercury-deficient and tellurium-saturated overpressure anneals were performed in an attempt to increase mercury vacancy concentrations and, thereby, increase dislocation climb. Such anneals significantly increased the etch pit density (EPD) in both ion-implanted and un-implanted MCT. By cycle annealing, we have also shown EPD reduction in arsenic ion-implanted, long bar shaped MCT mesas formed on CdTe/Si substrates.

ID OBJECT RECOGNITION
AB In this paper, we address the problem of object class recognition via observations from actively selected views/modalities/features under limited resource budgets. A Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMDP) is employed to find optimal sensing and recognition actions with the goal of long-term classification accuracy. Heterogeneous resource constraints - such as motion, number of measurements and bandwidth - are explicitly modeled in the state variable, and a prohibitively high penalty is used to prevent the violation of any resource constraint. To improve recognition performance, we further incorporate discriminative classification models with POMDP, and customize the reward function and observation model correspondingly. The proposed model is validated on several data sets for multi-view, multi-modal vehicle classification and multi-view face recognition, and demonstrates improvement in both recognition and resource management over greedy methods and previous POMDP formulations.

ID TEMPORAL LOGICS
AB We consider here Linear Temporal Logic (LTL) formulas interpreted over finite traces. We denote this logic by LTLf. The existing approach for LTLf satisfiability checking is based on a reduction to standard LTL satisfiability checking. We describe here a novel direct approach to LTLf satisfiability checking, where we take advantage of the difference in the semantics between LTL and LTLf. While LTL satisfiability checking requires finding a fair cycle in an appropriate transition system, here we need to search only for a finite trace. This enables us to introduce specialized heuristics, where we also exploit recent progress in Boolean SAT solving. We have implemented our approach in a prototype tool and experiments show that our approach outperforms existing approaches.

AB The death of a woman every 71 seconds in the world and every 12 minutes in the US, from breast cancer, indicate that the current standard of cure does not work. In addition, these therapies are expensive and have many side effects. This calls for safe, effective, alternate, affordable and physical therapies. Electrochemotherapy (ECT) has promising potential for treating inoperable, chemo-resistant and radio-resistant tumors that do not respond to the current standard of cure. Clinical trials show the successful applications of ECT for chest wall breast carcinomas. In this research, the efficacy of FDA approved, commonly prescribed and administered breast cancer drugs, including doxorubicin, paclitaxol, tamoxifen and bleomycin are studied using electroporation. In addition, the efficacy of curcumin is also studied using high and low voltage electroporation. MCF-7 breast cancer cells were used for this study at various pulse parameter conditions, including both low and high voltages. The positive results indicate that ECT is a good vehicle to efficiently upload these drugs intratumorally.

TI Frohlich Theory-Based Approach for Analysis of Stress Distribution in a
   Layered System Case Study
SO TRANSPORTATION RESEARCH RECORD
LA English
DT Article
AB The California bearing ratio (CBR) procedure for the design of airfield flexible pavements was originally developed in the 1940s for supporting new heavy bombers and reviewed in the 1970s to allow handling multiwheel tire groups. In view of an active debate at the International Civil Aviation Organization level on further adjustments to the design procedure, a U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) research team reformulated the original CBR procedure. The new CBR design procedure was redefined with the introduction of Frohlich's theory for computing the pavement thickness and validated through full-scale testing. This study evaluated the influence of each layer in the stress distribution with the final objective of recommending specific values of the Frohlich stress concentration factor. The data for this investigation were collected during full-scale testing at the ERDC in 2008. The analysis allowed identification of several influencing factors in the stress distribution for computing the stress acting at the top of the subgrade. Such factors included the subbase and subgrade CBR, the thickness of the subbase layer, and the stress distribution represented by the respective it factor of the layer group. The linear regression confirmed the statistical importance of these variables in assessing stress distribution above the subgrade. This case study provided encouraging results for additional investigations on the stress distribution within a layered system with the objective of quantifying more accurately the stress acting at the top of the subgrade.

AB Introduction: Transforming growth factor-beta s (TGF-beta s) play a dual role in breast cancer, with context-dependent tumor-suppressive or pro-oncogenic effects. TGF-beta antagonists are showing promise in early-phase clinical oncology trials to neutralize the pro-oncogenic effects. However, there is currently no way to determine whether the tumor-suppressive effects of TGF-beta are still active in human breast tumors at the time of surgery and treatment, a situation that could lead to adverse therapeutic responses.
   Methods: Using a breast cancer progression model that exemplifies the dual role of TGF-beta, promoter-wide chromatin immunoprecipitation and transcriptomic approaches were applied to identify a core set of TGF-beta-regulated genes that specifically reflect only the tumor-suppressor arm of the pathway. The clinical significance of this signature and the underlying biology were investigated using bioinformatic analyses in clinical breast cancer datasets, and knockdown validation approaches in tumor xenografts.
   Results: TGF-beta-driven tumor suppression was highly dependent on Smad3, and Smad3 target genes that were specifically enriched for involvement in tumor suppression were identified. Patterns of Smad3 binding reflected the preexisting active chromatin landscape, and target genes were frequently regulated in opposite directions in vitro and in vivo, highlighting the strong contextuality of TGF-beta action. An in vivo-weighted TGF-beta/Smad3 tumor-suppressor signature was associated with good outcome in estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer cohorts. TGF-beta/Smad3 effects on cell proliferation, differentiation and ephrin signaling contributed to the observed tumor suppression.
   Conclusions: Tumor-suppressive effects of TGF-beta persist in some breast cancer patients at the time of surgery and affect clinical outcome. Carefully tailored in vitro/in vivo genomic approaches can identify such patients for exclusion from treatment with TGF-beta antagonists.

AB A plurality of emulated systems is used to create a realistic virtual training environment. Retaining an open architecture allows emulator components to be swapped with physical hardware to create a more expansive variety of virtual training and test environments, as well as to abstract the user from the underlying hardware emulation. This allows for the creation of a low cost training environment that can easily and inexpensively be duplicated at many training locations. An example of emulation developed for test but later adapted and expanded for training is presented. High-fidelity emulators of individual line replaceable units are combined to form larger emulated systems, which comprise a suite of training products. An open architecture allows for a subset of these training products to communicate and operate with one another within a virtual training environment. The training products presented range from those operated on a personal computer with no product-representative hardware to full-scale simulators in which the end-user is almost completely abstracted from the underlying hardware emulation, thus providing a realistic, low cost, and effective training experience.

AB Previous literature reports greater metabolic demand of walking following transtibial amputation. However, most research focuses on relatively older, less active, and often dysvascular amputees. Servicemembers with traumatic amputation are typically young, fit, and highly active before and often following surgical amputation of their lower limb. This study compared the metabolic demand of walking in young, active individuals with traumatic unilateral transtibial amputation (TTA) and nondisabled controls. Heart rate (HR), rate of oxygen consumption, and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) were calculated as subjects walked at a self-selected velocity and at five standardized velocities based on leg length. The TTA group completed a Prosthetics Evaluation Questionnaire. Oxygen consumption (p = 0.89), net oxygen consumption (p = 0.32), and RPE (p = 0.14) did not differ between groups. Compared with controls, HR was greater in the TTA group and increased to a greater extent with velocity (p < 0.001). Overall, the TTA group rated their walking abilities as high (mean: 93% out of 100%). This is the first study to report equivalent metabolic demand between persons with amputation and controls walking at the same velocity. These results may reflect the physical fitness of the young servicemembers with traumatic amputations and may serve to guide outcome expectations in the future.

AB These three military authors offer a unique perspective into design thinking and military sense-making. They offer an argument that while the military as an institution prefers to make sense of the world through a systems-analytic paradigm that is increasingly problematic, a frame-changing design approach is needed instead. This approach requires a greater appreciation of uncertainty and the awareness that new knowledge production must emerge from beyond the single preferred military paradigm.

We found that at the neighborhood angles of the backscattering direction, these clouds can be reliably detected. The polarized components of the reflected light may be used to retrieve the optical thickness of these clouds.

DE Warm Mix Asphalt; WMA; RAP; workability; compactability
ID WARM-MIX ASPHALT; PAVEMENT MATERIAL; PERFORMANCE
AB The terms workability and compactability have been applied to asphalt mixtures to describe the relative ease with which material can be placed, hand worked, or compacted. A number of methods described in literature have been investigated to quantify this parameter, including devices that measure the torque required to rotate a mixing paddle through a sample of asphalt mixture. An improved workability measurement device based on that concept is described in this paper. Data collected with this device for seventeen mixtures are presented. The mixtures included both Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) and Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA). WMA was produced with Sasobit (R) additive, Evotherm (TM) 3G additive, and by asphalt binder foaming. Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) contents of 25 and 50% were also investigated for HMA and WMA. Four of the mixtures without RAP, including HMA and one of each WMA, were produced at an asphalt plant and placed into test strips with full scale construction equipment. Compaction of the pavement mat was monitored by embedded thermocouples, and nuclear density gauge measurements were taken between successive roller compactor passes. The relationship between laboratory measurement of workability and the relative ease of field compaction is investigated.

AB Nanoparticles and nanostructures with plasmonic resonances are currently being employed to enhance the efficiency of solar cells.(1-3) Ag stripe arrays have been shown theoretically to enhance the short-circuit current of thin silicon layers.(4) Monolayers of Ag nanoparticles with diameter d < 300 nm have shown strong plasmonic resonances when coated in thin polymer layers with thicknesses < d(5). We study experimentally the diffuse vs. specular scattering from monolayer arrays of Ag nanoparticles (spheres and prisms with diameters in the range 50 - 300 nm) coated onto the front side of thin (100 nm < t < 500 nm) silicon films deposited on glass and flexible polymer substrates, the latter originating in a roll-to-roll manufacturing process. Ag nanoparticles are held in place and aggregation is prevented with a polymer overcoat. We observe interesting wavelength shifts between maxima in specular and diffuse scattering that depend on particle size and shape, indicating that the nanoparticles substantially modify the scattering into the thin silicon film.

AB Since Cree, Inc.'s 2nd generation 4H-SiC MOSFETs were commercially released with a specific on-resistance (R-ON,R-SP) of 5 m Omega.cm(2) for a 1200 V-rating in early 2013, we have further optimized the device design and fabrication processes as well as greatly expanded the voltage ratings from 900 V up to 15 kV for a much wider range of high-power, high-frequency, and high-voltage energy-conversion and transmission applications. Using these next-generation SiC MOSFETs, we have now achieved new breakthrough performance for voltage ratings from 900 V up to 15 kV with a RON, SP as low as 2.3 m Omega.cm(2) for a breakdown voltage (BV) of 1230 V and 900 V-rating, 2.7 m Omega.cm(2) for a BV of 1620 V and 1200 V-rating, 3.38 m Omega.cm(2) for a BV of 1830 V and 1700 V-rating, 10.6 m Omega.cm(2) for a BV of 4160 V and 3300 Vrating, 123 m Omega.cm(2) for a BV of 12 kV and 10 kV-rating, and 208 m Omega.cm(2) for a BV of 15.5 kV and 15 kV-rating. In addition, due to the lack of current tailing during the bipolar device switching turn-off, the SiC MOSFETs reported in this work exhibit incredibly high frequency switching performance over their silicon counter parts.

AB Modern power electronics systems try to maximize power density and efficiency. As such, the active switch is required to safely handle very stressful transient conditions. A 56 mm(2), 180 A, SiC DMOSFET manufactured by Cree Inc. is evaluated by electrically stressing the device in a RLC ringdown test system capable of producing peak current in excess of 600 A (> 3X rated current) and di/dt's as high as 860 A/mu s. The device was hard-switched 5,000 times at repetition rates of 1, 2, 5, and 10 Hz for a total of 20,000 switching events. The device characteristics were monitored every 1,000 shots on a high power curve tracer to determine device degradation. The devices showed no changes in blocking characteristics and minimal changes in on-state characteristics due to shifts in the threshold voltage after 20,000 hard switching events. The threshold voltage shifts over the test period are minimal with a +/- 93 mV deviation from the average of 4.39 V. With the stability of the threshold voltage, on-state characteristics, and blocking characteristics; this shows that this device would perform reliably within commercial applications that include stressful switching conditions.

AB A new all-optical emitter-turn-off (ETO) configuration is proposed in this paper which is operated under 15 kV single bias and a current of 10 A. This ETO is completely controlled by two optical signals, one for the 15 kV SiC gate-turn-off (GTO) thyristor and the other one for a triggering low-voltage optically controlled Si switch. The latter, called optically-triggered power transistor (OTPT), is used in series with the anode contact of the SiC GTO thyristor in order to handle the current switching between anode and gate path of the SiC GTO thyristor. This OTPT is triggered with a 5-W laser of 808-nm wavelength and the main SiC GTO thyristor is triggered with a laser having a low wavelength of 266 nm. The voltage drop on the OTPT during the on-state is controlled by the power of the laser. For an optical power of 5 W, the structure is optimized to have an on-state voltage of 0.2 V at the junction temperature of 200 degrees C. This is less than 0.002% of the total bias of 15 kV.

AB This study addresses the transient and steady-state performance of a >13 kV SiC p-ETO. The developed SiC p-ETO is based on a 1 cm(2), 15 kV SiC p-GTO with an extremely low differential resistance. Static performance of the device, including the on-state voltage drop at different temperatures and different currents is carried out in this paper. Furthermore, transient performance of the device, including the turn off energy and also the Safe Operating Area (SOA) of the device has been studied. Also, the superior performance of the p-type SiC-ETO has been exploited to design and implement a solid-state circuit breaker. The studies verify the superiority of the SiC p-ETO compared to other solid state devices for this application.

AB In this paper, we report our recently developed large area 4H-SiC n-IGBTs that have a chip size of 1 cm(2) and an active conducting area of 0.37 cm(2). A blocking voltage of 22.6 kV has been demonstrated with a leakage current of 9 mu A at a gate bias of 0 V at room-temperature. This is the highest breakdown voltage of a single MOS-controlled semiconductor switch reported to date. To improve the conductivity modulation and lower the conduction losses during the on-state, a thermal oxidation process was applied to enhance the carrier lifetime prior to the device fabrication. Compared to the devices that did not receive this lifetime enhancement process, the lifetime enhanced devices displayed nearly 1 V lower forward voltage drop with little increase in switching energy and no degradation of static blocking characteristics. A specific differential on-resistance of 55 m Omega-cm(2) at 20 A and 125 degrees C was achieved, suggesting that bipolar power devices with thick drift regions can benefit from further enhancement of the ambipolar carrier lifetime.

ID RAYLEIGH-SCATTERING; OPTICAL-FIBERS
AB Guided entropy mode Rayleigh scattering in optical fibers has been shown to have detrimental effects in optical fiber links for radio frequency transfer, optoelectronic oscillators (OEOs), and broadband analog optical fiber links. We have previously shown that GEMRS-induced noise can be suppressed via sinusoidal dithering of the laser drive current. Previously, we had hypothesized that this suppression is due to the laser frequency modulation it induces. In this work, we show for the first time GEMRS suppression via external phase modulation, thereby confirming that suppression is achieved via the frequency modulation component of the laser current dither. This result provides further evidence that GEMRS is a laser-driven, phase-dependent effect. Additionally, external modulation offers several advantages over the previously demonstrated intra-cavity modulation, including greater bandwidth and improved flexibility in implementation.

AB Adequate vitamin and mineral status is essential for optimal human health and performance. Female athletes could be at risk for vitamin and mineral insufficiency due to inadequate dietary intake, menstruation, and inflammatory responses to heavy physical activity. Recent studies have documented poor iron status and associated declines in both cognitive and physical performance in female athletes. Similarly, insufficient vitamin D and calcium status have been observed in female athletes, and may be associated with injuries, such as stress fracture, which may limit a female athlete's ability to participate in regular physical activity. This review will focus on recent studies detailing the prevalence of poor vitamin and mineral status in female athletes, using iron, vitamin D, and calcium as examples. Factors affecting the dietary requirement for these vitamins and minerals during physical training will be reviewed. Lastly, countermeasures for the prevention of inadequate vitamin and mineral status will be described. Published by Elsevier GmbH.

AB One mode of authentication used in modern computing systems is graphical passwords. Graphical passwords are becoming more popular because touch-sensitive and pen-sensitive technologies are becoming ubiquitous. In this paper, we construct the "BioSketch" database, which is a general database of sketch-based passwords (SkPWs) with pressure information used as a biometric property. The BioSketch database is created so that recognition approaches may be commensurable with the benchmark performances. Using this database, we are also able to study the human-computer interaction (HCI) process for SkPWs. In this paper, we compare a generalized SKS recognition algorithm with the Frechet distance in terms of the intra/inter-class variations and performances. The results show that the SKS-based approach achieves as much as a 7% and 17% reduction in equal error rate (EER) for random and skilled forgeries respectively.

ID DESIGN
AB Hyperspectral remote sensing often captures imagery where the spectral profiles of the spatial pixels are the result of the reflectance contribution of numerous materials. Spectral unmixing is then used to extract the collection of materials, or endmembers, contained in the measured spectra, and a set of corresponding fractions that indicate the abundance of each material present at each pixel. This work aims at developing a spectral unmixing algorithm directly from compressive measurements acquired using the coded-aperture snapshot spectral imaging (CASSI) system. The proposed method first uses the compressive measurements to find a sparse vector representation of each pixel in a 3-D dictionary formed by a 2-D wavelet basis and a known spectral library of endmembers. The sparse vector representation is estimated by solving a sparsity-constrained optimization problem using an algorithm based on the variable splitting augmented Lagrangian multipliers method. The performance of the proposed spectral unmixing method is improved by taking optimal CASSI compressive measurements obtained when optimal coded apertures are used in the optical system. The optimal coded apertures are designed such that the CASSI sensing matrix satisfies a Restricted Isometry Property (RIP) with high probability. Simulations with synthetic hyperspectral cubes illustrate the accuracy of the proposed unmixing method.

ID RADAR; DESIGN
AB The effects of wall moisture on the characteristics of matched illumination waveforms for use in through the wall radar imaging (TWRI) are examined via simulation. Various wall moisture profiles are considered for solid adobe-like walls including a uniform moisture profile, moisture concentrated in the interior region of the wall, and moisture concentrated at the exterior surface. Specific characteristics of the typical optimum waveform are noted for each of the moisture profiles considered. Techniques for experimentally validating the performance of the matched illumination waveforms are also summarized.

DE interpolation; time-frequency distribution; sparse reconstruction
AB The paper considers Doppler and microDoppler radar signature estimations in the presence of missing samples using time-frequency distributions. Incomplete or random sampled data can be due to ranging and localization enhancements, discarding noisy measurements, hardware simplification, sampling rate limitations, or logistical restrictions on data collections and acquisition. We demonstrate that the use of interpolators to estimate the missing samples in the instantaneous autocorrelation function outperforms time-domain data interpolations. We compare time-frequency distributions with and without data interpolations and contrast their performance with sparse signal reconstruction which exploits the sparsity of the Doppler signature in the time-frequency domain.

AB In order to generate a detectable harmonic-radar response from an electronic device, the required power-on-target is comparable to that observed directly below a cellular base station. Also, the signal emitted from the target is often very weak. This weak signal must not be masked by harmonics generated by the radar itself. Thus, high transmit power must be provided with high linearity for detection of a nonlinear-radar target. In this paper, a technique is presented which achieves better than 135 dBc harmonic distortion at 7 W output power, at transmit frequencies between 800 MHz and 1 GHz.

AB Intra-abdominal desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) is a rare, aggressive tumor affecting adolescent and young males. DSRCT presenting as a primary renal mass in the absence of visceral or serosal involvement is extremely rare. Herein, we present the pathologic and molecular findings in the case of a young man who presented with a large renal mass without any visceral or serosal involvement. Noticeably, the tumor lacked prominent desmoplastic stroma and only focally expressed cytokeratin, both of which are considered characteristic histologic features for this tumor. Fluorescence in situ hybridization studies using an EWSR1 break-apart probe confirmed the presence of a rearrangement involving the EWSR1 locus and RT-PCR demonstrated the presence of an EWSR1-WT1 fusion transcript associated with the t(11;22) rearrangement, which supported a diagnosis of DSRCT. We also discuss the differential diagnostic considerations faced by the pathologist in the workup of small round cell neoplasms of the kidney. (C) 2014 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.

AB Prevention of musculoskeletal injuries (MSKI) is critical in both civilian and military populations to enhance physical performance, optimize health, and minimize health care expenses. Developing a more unified approach through addressing identified movement impairments could result in improved dynamic balance, trunk stability, and functional movement quality while potentially minimizing the risk of incurring such injuries. Although the evidence supporting the utility of injury prediction and return-to-activity readiness screening tools is encouraging, considerable additional research is needed regarding improving sensitivity, specificity, and outcomes, and especially the implementation challenges and barriers in a military setting. If selected current functional movement assessments can be administered in an efficient and cost-effective manner, utilization of the existing tools may be a beneficial first step in decreasing the burden of MSKI, with a subsequent focus on secondary and tertiary prevention via further assessments on those with prior injury history.

AB Electrolytes with the salt lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LiFSI) have been evaluated relative to comparable electrolytes with other lithium salts. Acetonitrile (AN) has been used as a model electrolyte solvent due to the simplicity of its solvation interactions (the AN molecule has only a single electron lone-pair for Li+ cation coordination). The information obtained from the thermal phase behavior, solvation/ionic association interactions, quantum chemical (QC) calculations and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations (with an APPLE&P many-body polarizable force field for the LiFSI salt) of the (AN)(n)-LiFSI mixtures provides detailed insight into the coordination interactions of the FSI-anions and the wide variability noted in the electrolyte transport properties (i.e., viscosity and ionic conductivity).

AB This work explores possible cross-slip mechanisms of gliding type <a> = a/3[1 -2 1 0] dislocation loops in wurtzite gallium nitride (GaN) as a function of slip plane. A modified form of the dislocation dynamics code Para-DiS was employed using isotropic linear elasticity and dislocation mobilities estimated in part from molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Under an externally applied uniform stress, the occurrence of cross slip events is highly dependent on the initial dislocation slip plane. The basal plane is the preferred active plane, owing to the greater mobility of <a> type segments on that plane, over the other planes considered including the prismatic (-1 0 1 0) and two equivalent pyramidal planes (-1 0 1 1) and (1 0 -1 1). For an applied stress state, cross slip processes are more readily seen from the prismatic-to-basal planes or the pyramidal-to-basal planes, and neither is found to occur in reverse. Cross slip by climb is not presently considered. In all cases, cross-slip events occur after the loop expands until a greater number of screw-oriented segments are able to access the cross slip plane and the resolved stresses on the plane become sufficiently large. In comparison to dislocations found in GaN previously, the calculations suggest that some threading dislocations along the [0001] direction that have edge character may have been formed from loops whose screw segments slip and escape on basal planes leaving only the edge segments.

AB Carrier transport measurements were made in a c-plane inverted-polarity n-GaN/i-In1-xGaxN/p-GaN heterostructure with a 200-nm thick In1-xGaxN layer using ultrafast spectroscopy techniques. Time-domain THz measurements indicate that the direction of electron transport is dominated by drift towards the n-GaN layer. Time-resolved electroabsorption measurements were used to determine carrier velocities by monitoring the change in transmission of a probe beam tuned to the In1-xGaxN absorption edge due to the transport of photogenerated carriers under the built-in internal electric field. Carrier transit times associated with screening of the electroabsorption are resolved at the lowest injection level. The signal rise time shows two distinct time scales, which correspond to an electron velocity of 3.3 +/- 0.5 x 10(7) cm/s and a hole velocity of 6.7 +/- 0.3 x 10(6) cm/s in an internal electric field of similar to 150 kV/cm.

AB We observe terahertz (THz) emission from c-plane InN and In0.15Ga0.85N films on GaN templates due to surface-normal transport with a strong anomalous in-plane transport component. Analysis of the rotational dependence of the THz emission associated with this in-plane transport indicates that an electric field exists along the [1-100] m-axis correlated with the underlying template miscut. Calculations show that the field is correlated with strain-induced polarization fields at the heterointerface related to step-like charges at interfaces of the epilayers and the miscut templates.

ID 4H-SIC AVALANCHE PHOTODIODES
AB Heterogeneous aluminium gallium nitride (AlxGa1-xN)/aluminium nitride (AlN)/silicon carbide (SiC) based n-i-p photodetectors have been demonstrated to effectively tailor the spectral response of SiC within the solar-blind regime. The differences in polarization at the hetero-interfaces resulting in negative polarization induced charge at the AlxGa1-xN/AlN interface and positive polarization induced charge at the AlN/SiC interface has been exploited to create a large barrier to carrier transport across the interface. This barrier impedes the collection of photo-excited holes in the AlxGa1-xN layers and enables the selective collection of electrons photo-excited to the G and L conduction band valleys of SiC while blocking the collection of electrons in the M valley. In this work, the influence of device design, including the AlN layer thickness and AlxGa1-xN composition, on the spectral response is discussed. Thin AlN barrier layers are easily overcome by electrons generated in all valleys of 4H-SiC with increasing bias voltage while thicker barrier layers successfully minimize the collection of electrons in the M valley of SiC and therefore suppress the long-wavelength response >260 nm.

AB Mid-ultraviolet LEDs grown on AlN substrates with a range of quantum efficiencies and wavelengths spanning 250 to 280 nm have been investigated by time-resolved photoluminescence and electroluminescence. Through scaling of room temperature internal quantum efficiencies across all devices, radiative and nonradiative lifetimes are also estimated. General trends observed include an increase in PL lifetime for longer wavelength and higher external quantum efficiency devices, consistent with the increase in the estimated nonradiative lifetime with increasing wavelength. Despite these trends, the external quantum efficiency of the devices increases only weakly with increasing wavelength from 258 to 279 nm, suggesting that optimization of radiative lifetime and injection efficiency also play an important role.

AB The scattering and dephasing processes that accompany the initial photoexcitation of electron-hole pairs in the semiconductor GaN are studied by sub-picosecond time-resolved photoluminescence. The rise time of the carrier recombination at the band edge after excitation 750 meV above the band gap is analyzed as a function of initial photoexcited carrier density and sample temperature. To elucidate the findings, simulations were performed based on a two band model with a non-parabolic conduction band and using a generalized Monte-Carlo technique. Results showed a small dependence in the rise time on the initial carrier density but a strong dependence on the sample temperature, where simulation and experiment scaled proportionately.

AB Since it was identified in 1963 as the antileukemic agent in guinea pig serum, L-asparaginase (ASNase) has become an integral component of chemotherapy protocols to treat patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Escherichia coli and Erwinia chrysanthemi provide the sources of ASNase used clinically today. From the time ASNase was first introduced into treatment protocols, the 5-year survival rate has increased significantly, particularly in children and adolescents. E. coli-derived ASNase was approved in 1978 to be used as part of a multiagent chemotherapy to treat ALL. However, the development of hypersensitivity in 10-30% of patients often leads to treatment discontinuation. E. chrysanthemi-derived ASNase (referred to herein as ASNase Erwinia chrysanthemi) is immunologically distinct from E. coli ASNase and therefore does not cross-react with the E. coli enzyme. In 2011, ASNase Erwinia chrysanthemi was approved in the United States for patients who develop hypersensitivity to E. coli-derived ASNase. When indicated, a switch from ASNase E. coli to ASNase E. chrysanthemi allows patients to continue to receive treatment and maintain therapeutic levels of ASNase activity. Therapeutic drug monitoring may help ensure that therapeutic enzyme levels are maintained. Pegylated recombinant ASNase Erwinia chrysanthemi is currently being developed to improve pharmacokinetic properties and reduce immunogenicity.

AB The United States Military Academy is offers a liberal arts curriculum. This paper describes how robotics topics are integrated where possible in that curriculum. The military leadership recognizes the need for its members to have knowledge of robotics in today's technological Army. Among soldiers and officers the depth of knowledge needed ranges from awareness of capability to a deep engineering understanding of design paired with hands-on skill. West Point educates young men and women who are to be future Army officers. This paper presents several methods used at West Point to build robotics knowledge according to the need of the individual. Robotics education is executed in spite of a crowded liberal arts curriculum. Methods include K-12 outreach, projects, internships, courses for non-engineering majors, and engineering degree programs. Knowledge is transferred not only by graduates, but also by the rotating officer faculty who return to serve in the Army at large after teaching at West Point.

DE Critical thinking; creativity; disruptive innovation; education
AB A desirable goal of engineering education is to teach students how to think critically and be creative and innovative. However, the speed of technological innovation and the continual expansion of disciplinary knowledge leave little time in the curriculum for students to formally study innovation, particularly at the undergraduate level. At West Point we have developed a novel upper-division interdisciplinary undergraduate engineering course that simultaneously develops the critical thinking, creativity and innovation of our students. This course is structured as a deliberate interactive engagement between students and faculty that employs the Socratic Method to develop an understanding of disruptive and innovative technologies and a historical context of how social, cultural, and religious factors impact the acceptance or rejection of innovation. The course begins by developing the background understanding of what disruptive technology is and a historical context about successes and failures of social, cultural, and religious acceptance of technological innovation. To develop this framework, students read The Innovator's Dilemma by Clayton M. Christensen, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas S. Kuhn, The Discoverers by Daniel J. Boorstin, and The Two Cultures by C. P. Snow. For each class meeting, students also read current scientific and technical literature and come prepared to discuss current events related to technological innovation. Each student researches potential disruptive technologies and prepares a compelling argument of why the specific technologies are disruptive so they can defend their choice and rationale. During course meetings students discuss the readings and specific technologies found during their independent research. As part of this research, each student has the opportunity to interview forward thinking technology leaders in their respective fields of interest.

AB Discovering and extracting new image features pertaining to scene geometry is important to 3D reconstruction and scene understanding. Examples include the classical vanishing points observed in a centric camera and the recent coplanar common points (CCPs) in a crossed-slit camera [21,17]. A CCP is a point in the image plane corresponding to the intersection of the projections of all lines lying on a common 3D plane. In this paper, we address the problem of determining CCP existence in general non-centric cameras. We first conduct a ray-space analysis to show that finding the CCP of a 3D plane is equivalent to solving an array of ray constraint equations. We then derive the necessary and sufficient conditions for CCP to exist in an arbitrary non-centric camera such as non-centric catadioptric mirrors. Finally, we present robust algorithms for extracting the CCPs from a single image and validate our theories and algorithms through experiments.

AB Real-time detection and identification of bio-aerosol particles are crucial for the protection against chemical and biological agents. The strong elastic light scattering properties of airborne particles provides a natural means for rapid, non-invasive aerosol characterization. Recent theoretical predictions suggested that variations in the polarization dependent angular scattering cross section could provide an efficient means of classifying different airborne particles. In particular, the polarization dependent scattering cross section of aggregate particles is expected to depend on the shape of the primary particles. In order to experimentally validate this prediction, we built a high throughput, sampling system, capable of measuring the polarization resolved angular scattering cross section of individual aerosol particles flowing through an interrogating volume with a single shot of laser pulse. We calibrated the system by comparing the polarization dependent scattering cross section of individual polystyrene spheres with that predicted by Mie theory. We then used the system to study different particles types: Polystyrene aggregates composed 500 nm spheres and Bacillus subtilis (BG, Anthrax simulant) spores composed of elongated 500 nm x 1000 nm cylinder-line particles. We found that the polarization resolved scattering cross section depends on the shape of the constituent elements of the aggregates. This work indicates that the polarization resolved scattering cross section could be used for rapid discrimination between different bio-aerosol particles.

AB Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) are endopeptidases that target motor neurons and block acetylcholine neurotransmitter release. This action results in the muscle paralysis that defines the disease botulism. To date, there are no FDA-approved therapeutics to treat BoNT-mediated paralysis after intoxication of the motor neuron. Importantly, the rationale for pursuing treatments to counter these toxins is driven by their potential misuse. Current drug discovery efforts have mainly focused on small molecules, peptides, and peptidomimetics that can directly and competitively inhibit BoNT light chain proteolytic activity. Although this is a rational approach, direct inhibition of the Zn2+ metalloprotease activity has been elusive as demonstrated by the dearth of candidates undergoing clinical evaluation. Therefore, broadening the scope of viable targets beyond that of active site protease inhibitors represents an additional strategy that could move the field closer to the clinic. Here we review the rationale, and discuss the outcomes of earlier approaches and highlight potential new targets for BoNT inhibition. These include BoNT uptake and processing inhibitors, enzymatic inhibitors, and modulators of neuronal processes associated with toxin clearance, neurotransmitter potentiation, and other pathways geared towards neuronal recovery and repair.

AB Radar sensors can be viewed as a limited wireless sensor network consisting of radar transmitter nodes, target nodes, and radar receiver nodes. The radar transmitter node sends a communication signal to the target node which then reflects it in a known pattern to the radar receiver nodes. This type of wireless sensor network is susceptible to the same types of attacks as a traditional wireless sensor network, but there is less opportunity for defense. The target nodes in the network are unable to validate the return signal, and they are often uncooperative. This leads to ample opportunities for spoofing and man-in-the-middle attacks. This paper explores some of the fundamental techniques that can be used against a limited wireless network system as well as explores the techniques that can be used to counter them.

AB InAsSb material with a cutoff wavelength in the 5 mu m range has been grown on GaAs substrates. The MWIR InAsSb detector arrays were fabricated and hybridized to a ROIC to permit measurement of the electrical and optical properties of detectors. Detector arrays were fabricated in a 1024 x 1024 format on an 18 mu m pitch. A fanout was utilized to directly acquire data from a set of selected detectors without an intervening read out integrating circuit (ROIC). Variable temperature J(dark) vs V-d measurements have been made with the dark current density similar to 10-5 A/cm(2) at 150 K. The external QE measured using a narrow band filter centered at similar to 4 mu m had values in the 65 - 70 % range. Since the detectors were illuminated through a GaAs substrate, which has a reflectance of 29%, the internal QE is greater than 90 %.
   A 1024 x 1024 ROIC on an 18 mu m pitch was also designed and fabricated to interface with the barrier detectors. The ROIC operates at 30 Hz frame rate and has a well capacity of 20.7 M electrons. QE at 150 K for a 1024 x 1024 detector array hybridized to a ROIC had a median D* at 150 K under a flux of 1.07 x 10(15) ph/(cm(2)/s) was 1.2 x 10(11) cm Hz(1/2)/W. The NEdT was 44 mK and imagery was obtained at 150 K using an f/2.3 MWIR lens.

AB Resonator-Quantum Well Infrared Photodetectors (R-QWIPs) are the next generation of QWIP detectors that use resonances to increase the quantum efficiency (QE). To achieve the expected performance, the detector geometry must be produced in precise specification. In particular, the height of the diffractive elements (DE) and the thickness of the active resonator must be uniformly and accurately realized to within 0.05 mu m accuracy and the substrates of the detectors have to be removed totally. To achieve these specifications, two optimized inductively coupled plasma (ICP) etching processes are developed. Using these etching techniques, we have fabricated a number of R-QWIP test detectors and FPAs with the required dimensions and completely removed their substrates. The QE spectra were tested to be in close agreement with the theoretical predictions. The operability and spectral uniformity of the focal plane array (FPA) is about 99.1% and 3% respectively.

AB Like many rivers and streams in forests of the Pacific Northwest, California north coast rivers and streams have been depleted of downed wood through timber harvest and direct wood removal. Due to the important role of wood in creating and maintaining salmonid habitat, wood augmentation has become a common element of stream restoration. Restoration efforts in North America often focus on building anchored, engineered wood structures at the site scale; however, these projects can fail to meet restoration goals at the watershed scale, do not closely mimic natural wood loading processes or dynamics, and can be expensive to implement. For critically imperiled populations of Coho Salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch in California, there is a strong impetus to achieve as much habitat restoration as possible in priority watersheds in the shortest time and with limited resources, so cost-efficient techniques are necessary. In this multi-site project, we investigated unanchored techniques for wood loading to evaluate cost and contribution to salmonid habitat in Mendocino County, California. Over a period of 6 years, 72.4 km of stream were treated with 1,973 pieces of strategically placed wood. We found that unanchored wood loading techniques were much less costly than commonly used anchored techniques, reliably improved habitat, and retained wood at high rates (mean = 92%) in small-to moderate-sized streams, at least over the short term (<6 years). The average cost of design and construction for the unanchored projects was US$259 per log, equivalent to 22% of the cost associated with the anchored wood augmentation methods examined here. Our results suggest that this unanchored wood loading approach has the potential to increase the pace and scale at which wood augmentation projects are implemented in the Pacific Northwest and beyond.

AB We present a series of long-wave-infrared (LWIR) polarimetric-based thermal images of facial profiles in which polarization-state information of the image forming radiance is retained and displayed. The resultant polarimetric images show enhanced facial features, additional texture, and details that are not present in the corresponding conventional thermal imagery. It has been generally thought that conventional thermal imagery (MidIR or LWIR) could not produce the detailed spatial information required for reliable human identification due to the so-called "ghosting" effect often seen in thermal imagery of human subjects. By using polarimetric information, we are able to extract subtle surface features of the human face, thus improving subject identification. The considered polarimetric image sets include the conventional thermal intensity image, S-0, the two Stokes images, S-1 and S-2, and a Stokes image product called the degree-of-linear-polarization (DoLP) image. Finally, Stokes imagery is combined with Fresnel relations to extract additional 3D surface information.

   Contrast
AB The reflective bands in modern imaging, i.e., the visible through the short wave infrared (SWIR), have become very attractive for use in both daytime and low light target acquisition and surveillance. In addition, the nature of the target in modern conflict again includes the human body as a principle target. The spectral natures of the reflectivities of humans, their clothing, what they may be carrying, and the environments in which they are immersed, along with the spectral nature and strength of the light sources that illuminate them, have been the essential components of the contrasts in the signatures that are used in models that predict probabilities of target acquisition and discrimination. What has been missing is the impact that polarization in these signatures can have on image contrast. This paper documents a preliminary investigation into the contrast in active and passive polarimetric signatures of humans holding two-handed objects in the SWIR.

The paper demonstrates: 1) that independent polarization measurements contain information suitable for manmade object discrimination from natural clutter; 2) analysis between the variability exhibited by manmade objects relative to natural clutter; 3) comparison between the proposed M-Box covariance test with Stokes parameters S-0 and S-1, DoLP, RX-Stokes, and PCA RX-Stokes; and finally 4) the data used for the comparison spans a full 24-hour measurement.

AB We experimentally demonstrate quantum imaging where the images are stored in both space and time. Quantum images of remote objects are produced with either one or two beams of chaotic laser light and two sensors measuring the reference field and bucket field at different space-time points. Chaotic laser light is produced by laser light passing through rotating ground glass. Experiments were performed in both turbulent and non-turbulent conditions. Interestingly, quantum images are produced using the two sensors of quantum imaging when both single and double beams are implemented in the experimental setup. Also, we observed that the quantum images move depending on the time delay between the sensor measurements. The experiments provide a new testbed for exploring the time and space scale fundamental physics of quantum imaging and suggest new pathways for quantum information storage and processing. The research is applicable to making ghost imaging movies of moving objects and implementation of space-time imaging for enhanced imaging.

AB Major decisions regarding life and death are routinely made on the modern battlefield, where visual function of the individual soldier can be of critical importance in the decision-making process. Glasses in the combat environment have considerable disadvantages: degradation of short term visual performance can occur as dust and sweat accumulate on lenses during a mission or patrol; long term visual performance can diminish as lenses become increasingly scratched and pitted; during periods of intense physical trauma, glasses can be knocked off the soldier's face and lost or broken. Although refractive surgery offers certain benefits on the battlefield when compared to wearing glasses, it is not without potential disadvantages. As a byproduct of refractive surgery, elevated optical aberrations can be induced, causing decreases in contrast sensitivity and increases in the symptoms of glare, halos, and starbursts. Typically, these symptoms occur under low light level conditions, the same conditions under which most military operations are initiated. With the advent of wavefront aberrometry, we are now seeing correction not only of myopia and astigmatism but of other, smaller optical aberrations that can cause the above symptoms. In collaboration with the Warfighter Refractive Eye Surgery Program and Research Center (WRESP-RC) at Fort Belvoir and Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (WRNMMC), the overall objective of this study is to determine the impact of wavefront guided (WFG) versus wavefront-optimized (WFO) photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) on military task visual performance. Psychophysical perception testing was conducted before and after surgery to measure each participant's performance regarding target detection and identification using thermal imagery. The results are presented here.

AB Current biodetection assays that employ monoclonal antibodies as primary capture agents exhibit limited fieldability, shelf life, and performance due to batch-to-batch production variability and restricted thermal stability. In order to improve upon the detection of biological threats in fieldable assays and systems for the Army, we are investigating protein catalyzed capture (PCC) agents as drop-in replacements for the existing antibody technology through iterative in situ click chemistry. The PCC agent oligopeptides are developed against known protein epitopes and can be mass produced using robotic methods. In this work, a PCC agent under development will be discussed. The performance, including affinity, selectivity, and stability of the capture agent technology, is analyzed by immunoprecipitation, western blotting, and ELISA experiments. The oligopeptide demonstrates superb selectivity coupled with high affinity through multi-ligand design, and improved thermal, chemical, and biochemical stability due to non-natural amino acid PCC agent design.

AB Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) are produced by multiple members of the clostridial genus. Seven neurotoxin serotypes and 35 distinct toxin subtypes/genetic variants have been identified based on immunological characteristics and sequence diversity. Analysis of neurotoxin and genome sequences provides evidence that horizontal gene transfer may be a primary mechanism for the movement of neurotoxin genes within these bacteria and that genetic mobility among different bacterial species is facilitated by their phage or plasmid locations. Bacterial and neurotoxin relationships are described based on historic parameters and recent genomic sequencing efforts. Examination of the factors that provide genetic mobility for neurotoxin genes contributes to understanding the diversity resident in the neurotoxins, the toxin complexes and the bacteria that produce them.

AB In this paper, a new type of waveguide switch-field induced dynamic optical waveguide switch is presented. The switching mechanism is based on electric-field induced dynamic waveguiding effect in nanodisordered potassium tantalate niobate (KTN) crystals. By applying an electric field at different locations, different waveguide paths are created, which result in different output locations. The major advantages of this unique optical switch are broad bandwidth, covering the entire 1300 nm - 1600 nm fiber optic communication window, and ultrafast switching speed (on the order of nanosecond), which can be very useful for next generation optical networks such as the one used in data center networks.

AB InAsSb material with a cutoff wavelength in the 5 mu m range has been grown on GaAs substrates. The MWIR InAsSb detector arrays were fabricated and hybridized to fanouts and ROICs to permit measurement of the electrical and optical properties of detectors. Detector arrays were fabricated in a 1024 x 1024 format on an 18 mu m pitch. A fanout was utilized to directly acquire data from a set of selected detectors without an intervening read out integrating circuit (ROIC). Variable temperature J(dark) vs V-d measurements have been made with the dark current density similar to 10(-5) A/cm(2) at 150 K. The external QE measured using a narrow band filter centered at similar to 4 mu m had values in the 65 - 70 % range. Since the detectors were illuminated through a GaAs substrate which has a reflectance of 29%, the internal QE is greater than 90 %.
   A 1024 x 1024 ROIC on an 18 mu m pitch was also designed and fabricated to interface with the barrier detectors. The ROIC operates at 30 Hz frame rate and has a well capacity of 20.7 M electrons. QE at 150 K for a 1024 x 1024 detector array hybridized to a ROIC had a median D* at 150 K under a flux of 1.07 x 10(15) ph/(cm(2)/s was 1.2 x 10(11) cm Hz(1/2)/W. The NEdT was 44 mK and imagery was obtained at 150 K using an f/2.3 MWIR lens.

AB Research and development of robust compact hyperspectral imagers that can acquire both spectral and spatial features from a scene of interest is of utmost importance for standoff detection of targets as well as chemical and biological agents and backgrounds. Hyperspectral imagers can acquire images with a large number of narrow spectral bands and take advantage of the characteristic spectral signatures of different materials making up the scene. At the Army Research Laboratory (ARL), we are developing hyperspectral imagers based on acousto-optic tunable filters (AOTFs) that can provide adaptive no-moving-parts imagers from the ultraviolet (UV) to the long wave infrared (LWIR) to acquire a two-dimensional spectral image and build up a two-dimensional image cube as a function of time instead of using traditional grating or prism based approach that requires relative motion between sensor and scene. Here, we will review the development of different imaging AOTFs operating from the UV to the LWIR based on a variety of birefringent materials and include the spectral imaging carried out with these filters including both with single and double piezoelectric transducers. We will also include the theoretical background needed to carry out the filter design and discuss development of mercurous halide crystals that can be used to develop AOTFs operating over a wide spectral region from the visible to the LWIR.

AB Imaging spectrometry can be utilized in the midwave infrared (MWIR) and long wave infrared (LWIR) bands to detect, identify and map complex chemical agents based on their rotational and vibrational emission spectra. Hyperspectral datasets are typically obtained using grating or Fourier transform spectrometers to separate the incoming light into spectral bands. At present, these spectrometers are large, cumbersome, slow and expensive, and their resolution is limited by bulky mechanical components such as mirrors and gratings. As such, low-cost, miniaturized imaging spectrometers are of great interest. Microfabrication of micro-electro-mechanical-systems (MEMS)-based components opens the door for producing low-cost, reliable optical systems. We present here our work on developing a miniaturized IR imaging spectrometer by coupling a mercury cadmium telluride (HgCdTe)-based infrared focal plane array (FPA) with a MEMS-based Fabry-Perot filter (FPF). The two membranes are fabricated from silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafers using bulk micromachining technology. The fixed membrane is a standard silicon membrane, fabricated using back etching processes. The movable membrane is implemented as an X-beam structure to improve mechanical stability. The geometries of the distributed Bragg reflector (DBR)-based tunable FPFs are modeled to achieve the desired spectral resolution and wavelength range. Additionally, acceptable fabrication tolerances are determined by modeling the spectral performance of the FPFs as a function of DBR surface roughness and membrane curvature. These fabrication non-idealities are then mitigated by developing an optimized DBR process flow yielding high-performance FPF cavities. Zinc Sulfide (ZnS) and Germanium (Ge) are chosen as the low and the high index materials, respectively, and are deposited using an electron beam process. Simulations are presented showing the impact of these changes and non-idealities in both a device and systems level.

AB We report the development of high performance low cost SWIR infrared detectors from MBE-grown HgCdTe on 3-inch CdTe-buffered silicon substrates. The experimental findings demonstrate that despite the large lattice mismatch between HgCdTe and Si substrate, the materials and detector performances are sufficiently better than those reported for III-V mixed crystals. High minority carrier lifetime of the order 3 mu s at room temperature was measured on the as grown material. Photodetectors fabricated from this material produced low dark current densities on the order of 10(-6) A/cm(2) and 10(-3) A/cm(2) at 200K and 300K. Quantum efficiency exceeding 70% at 2.0 mu m, without antireflective coating, was measured on single element detectors. Further, 320 X 256, 30 mu m pitch FPA's have been fabricated with this HgCdTe on Si material and dark current operability of similar to 99.5% (mean dark current of 30 pA/Pixel) at 200K has been demonstrated.

In this work, we used this model to design and optimize new detector structures. In one approach, we adjusted the detector volume to resonate strongly with the scattered light from the diffractive elements (DEs). The resulting intensified field increases the detector QE correspondingly. We tested this resonator-QWIP concept on four detector materials and obtained satisfactory agreements between theory and experiment. The observed single detector QE ranges from 15 to 71%, depending on the realized pixel geometry and the matching detector material. We processed one of the materials into hybridized FPAs and observed a QE of 30% with a conversion efficiency of 11%, in agreement with theory. By using rings as DEs, the FPA spectral nonuniformity can also be minimized with an observed value of 4% in comparison with the 7% for gratings. With a proven EM model, we further designed different R-QWIPs for a wide range of applications, including high conversion efficiency detection, narrow band detection through a medium, narrow band detection at a gaseous medium, simultaneous two-color detection, sequential voltage tunable two-color detection, and broadband detection at Landsat wavelengths. Experimental efforts are underway.

AB "Lucky-region" fusion (LRF) is a synthetic imaging technique that has proven successful in enhancing the quality of images distorted by atmospheric turbulence. The LRF algorithm extracts sharp regions of an image obtained from a series of short exposure frames, and fuses the sharp regions into a final, improved image. In our previous research, the LRF algorithm had been implemented on a PC using the C programming language. However, the PC did not have sufficient processing power to handle real-time extraction, processing and reduction required when the LRF algorithm was applied to real-time video from fast, high-resolution image sensors rather than single picture images. This document describes a hardware implementation of the LRF algorithm on a VIRTEX-7 field programmable gate array (FPGA) to achieve real-time image processing. The novelty in our approach is the creation of a "black box" LRF video processing system with a general camera link input, a user controller interface, and a camera link or DVI video output. We also describe a custom hardware simulation environment we have built to test our LRF implementation.
