AB Measurements have been reported recently of cross sections for electron-impact excitation of the argon 3p(5)5p manifold of levels from the 3p(5)4s metastable levels. We report results of calculations of the direct excitation cross sections at electron-impact energies from threshold to 500 eV for these transitions. The collision cross sections are calculated in the scaled plane-wave Born approximation (scaled PWB) developed by Kim. This scaling transforms the Born cross sections for dipole-allowed and spin-allowed excitations into reliable cross sections that compare as well with accurate measurements as does the sophisticated and more complex convergent close coupling method. We have used jj coupling in a single LS configuration Dirac-Fock calculation to describe the target wavefunctions. The optical emission cross section measurements, by Jung et al., include estimated contributions of 25% or more from cascading from higher excited levels and so are larger than direct excitation cross sections. Nevertheless, our cross sections agree reasonably well with the measurements for transitions where the core j value remains unchanged, except for the 1s(5)-3p(8) excitation. The results do not agree well with the measurements when the core j value changes, as similarly seen in the results of recent relativistic distorted wave calculations by Sharma et al.

AB Piezoelectric ceramics mounted on the endplates of a cylindrical resonator were used as the source and detector for speed-of-sound measurements. The perturbations of the longitudinal gas modes of the cavity due to the compliance of the diaphragms (10 mm diameter, 0.3 mm thick) and the attached transducers were estimated from first-order perturbation theory. The fractional shift of the resonance frequencies in argon caused by the source and detector was 0.03 x 10(-6) at 0.1 MPa and 273.16 K. The high signal-to-noise ratio (up to 1 x 10(4) with a 6 s integration time) that was obtained with these transducers makes them suitable for acoustic thermometry. The heat dissipation in the source transducer was measured to be only 0.7 mu W at the working voltage (7 V) and frequency (1 kHz).

AB The progress towards re-determining the Boltzmann constant k (B) using two fixed-path, gas-filled, cylindrical, acoustic cavity resonators is described. The difference in the lengths of the cavities is measured using optical interferometry. Thus, a literature value for the density of mercury is not used, in contrast with the presently accepted determination of k (B). The longitudinal acoustic resonance modes of a cylindrical cavity have lower quality factors Q than the radial modes of gas-filled, spherical cavities, of equal volume. The lower Qs result in lower signal-to-noise ratios and wider, asymmetric resonances. To improve signal-to-noise ratios, conventional capacitance microphones were replaced with 6.3 mm diameter piezoelectric transducers (PZTs) installed on the outer surfaces of each resonator and coupled to the cavity by diaphragms. This arrangement preserved the shape of the cylindrical cavity, prevented contamination of the gas inside the cavity, and enabled us to measure the longitudinal resonance frequencies with a relative standard uncertainty of 0.2 x 10(-6). The lengths of the cavities and the modes studied will be chosen to reduce the acoustic perturbations due to non-zero boundary admittances at the endplates, e.g., from endplate bending and ducts and/or transducers installed in the endplates. Alternatively, the acoustic perturbations generated by the viscous and thermal boundary layers at the gas-solid boundary can be reduced. Using the techniques outlined here, k (B) can be re-determined with an estimated relative standard uncertainty of 1.5 x 10(-6).

AB Human enamel has a complex microstructure that varies with distance from the tooth's outer surface. But contributions from the microstructure to the fracture toughness and the mechanisms of crack growth resistance have not been explored in detail. In this investigation the apparent fracture toughness of human enamel and the mechanisms of crack growth resistance were evaluated using the indentation fracture approach and an incremental crack growth technique. Indentation cracks were introduced on polished surfaces of enamel at selected distances from the occlusal surface. In addition, an incremental crack growth. approach using compact tension specimens was used to quantify the crack growth resistance as a function of distance from the occlusal surface. There were significant differences in the apparent toughness estimated using the two approaches, which was attributed to the active crack length and corresponding scale of the toughening mechanisms.

AB Tropical cyclones pose a significant threat to life and property along coastal regions of the United States. As these systems move inland and dissipate, they can also pose a threat to life and property, through heavy rains, high winds, and other severe weather such as tornadoes. While many studies have focused on the impacts from tropical cyclones on coastal counties of the United States, this study goes beyond the coast and examines the impacts caused by tropical cyclones on inland locations. Using geographical information system software, historical track data are used in conjunction with the radial maximum extent of the maximum sustained winds at 34-, 50-, and 64-kt (1 kt approximate to 0.5 m s(-1)) thresholds for all intensities of tropical cyclones and overlaid on a 30-km equal-area grid that covers the eastern half of the United States. The result is a series of maps with frequency distributions and an estimation of return intervals for inland tropical storm- and hurricane-force winds. Knowing where the climatologically favored areas are for tropical cyclones, combined with a climatological expectation of the inland penetration frequency of these storms, can be of tremendous value to forecasters, emergency managers, and the public.

Thermal Forcings in a Simple General Circulation Model

TROPOSPHERIC RESPONSE; FLOW INTERACTIONS; DYNAMICAL CORES; TRENDS;
PERTURBATIONS; STRATOSPHERE; VARIABILITY
AB The steady-state extratropical atmospheric response to thermal forcing is investigated in a simple atmospheric general circulation model. The thermal forcings qualitatively mimic three key aspects of anthropogenic climate change: warming in the tropical troposphere, cooling in the polar stratosphere, and warming at the polar surface. The principal novel findings are the following:
1) Warming in the tropical troposphere drives two robust responses in the model extratropical circulation: poleward shifts in the extratropical tropospheric storm tracks and a weakened stratospheric Brewer-Dobson circulation. The former result suggests heating in the tropical troposphere plays a fundamental role in the poleward contraction of the storm tracks found in Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)-class climate change simulations; the latter result is in the opposite sense of the trends in the Brewer-Dobson circulation found in most previous climate change experiments.
2) Cooling in the polar stratosphere also drives a poleward shift in the extratropical storm tracks. The tropospheric response is largely consistent with that found in previous studies, but it is shown to be very sensitive to the level and depth of the forcing. In the stratosphere, the Brewer-Dobson circulation weakens at midlatitudes, but it strengthens at high latitudes because of anomalously poleward heat fluxes on the flank of the polar vortex.
3) Warming at the polar surface drives an equatorward shift of the storm tracks. The storm-track response to polar warming is in the opposite sense of the response to tropical tropospheric heating; hence large warming over the Arctic may act to attenuate the response of the Northern Hemisphere storm track to tropical heating.
4) The signs of the tropospheric and stratospheric responses to all thermal forcings considered here are robust to seasonal changes in the basic state, but the amplitude and details of the responses exhibit noticeable differences between equinoctial and wintertime conditions. Additionally, the responses exhibit marked non-linearity in the sense that the response to multiple thermal forcings applied simultaneously is quantitatively different from the sum of the responses to the same forcings applied independently. Thus the response of the model to a given thermal forcing is demonstrably dependent on the other thermal forcings applied to the model.

ID OCEAN DATA ASSIMILATION; CLIMATE
AB Six different SST analyses are compared with each other and with buoy data for the period 2007-08. All analyses used different combinations of satellite data [for example, infrared Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) and microwave Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR) instruments] with different algorithms, spatial resolution, etc. The analyses considered are theNationalClimaticDataCenter (NCDC) AVHRR-only and AMSR + AVHRR, the Navy Coupled Ocean Data Assimilation (NCODA), the Remote Sensing Systems (RSS), the Real-Time Global High-Resolution (RTG-HR), and the Operational SST and Sea Ice Analysis (OSTIA); the spatial grid sizes were 1/4 degrees, 1/4 degrees, 1/9 degrees, 1/11 degrees, 1/12 degrees, and 1/20 degrees, respectively. In addition, all analyses except RSS used in situ data. Most analysis procedures and weighting functions differed. Thus, differences among analyses could be large in high-gradient and data-sparse regions. An example off the coast of South Carolina showed winter SST differences that exceeded 5 degrees C.
To help quantify SST analysis differences, wavenumber spectra were computed at several locations. These results suggested that the RSS is much noisier and that the RTG-HR analysis is much smoother than the other analyses. Further comparisons made using collocated buoys showed that RSS was especially noisy in the tropics and that RTG-HRhad winter biases near the Aleutians region during January and February 2007. The correlation results show that NCODA and, to a somewhat lesser extent, OSTIA are strongly tuned locally to buoy data. The results also show that grid spacing does not always correlate with analysis resolution.
The AVHRR-only analysis is useful for climate studies because it is the only daily SST analysis that extends back to September 1981. Furthermore, comparisons of the AVHRR-only analysis and the AMSR+AVHRR analysis show that AMSR data can degrade the combined AMSR and AVHRR resolution in cloud-free regions while AMSR otherwise improves the resolution. These results indicate that changes in satellite instruments over time can impact SST analysis resolution.

AB Data from observations and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) twentieth-century climate change model [phase 3 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP3)] simulations were analyzed to examine the decadal changes of the impact of ENSO on air temperature T(air) and precipitation P over the United States. The comparison of composites for the early period (1915-60) and the recent period (1962-2006) indicates that cooling (warming) over the south and warming (cooling) over the north during ENSO warm (cold) winters have been weakening. The ENSO influence on winter P over the Southwest is strengthening, while the impact on P over the Ohio Valley is weakening for the recent decades. These differences are not due to the long-term trends in T(air) or P; they are attributed to the occurrence of the central Pacific (CPAC) ENSO events in the recent years. The CPAC ENSO differs from the canonical eastern Pacific (EPAC) ENSO. The EPAC ENSO has a sea surface temperature anomaly (SSTA) maximum in the eastern Pacific. Enhanced convection extends from the date line to the eastern Pacific, with negative anomalies in the western Pacific. The atmospheric responses resemble a tropical Northern Hemisphere pattern. The wave train is consistent with the north-south T(air) contrast over North America during the EPAC ENSO winters. The CPAC ENSO has enhanced convection in the central Pacific. The atmospheric responses show a Pacific-North American pattern. It is consistent with west-east contrast in T(air) and more rainfall over the Southwest during the CPAC ENSO winters.

AB Atmospheric circulation changes during boreal winter of the second half of the twentieth century exhibit a trend toward the positive polarity of both the Northern Hemisphere annular mode (NAM) and the Southern Hemisphere annular mode (SAM). This has occurred in concert with other trends in the climate system, most notably a warming of the Indian Ocean. This study explores whether the tropical Indian Ocean warming played a role in forcing these annular trends. Five different atmospheric general circulation models (AGCMs) are forced with an idealized, transient warming of Indian Ocean sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTA); the results of this indicate that the warming contributed to the annular trend in the NH but offset the annular trend in SH. The latter result implies that the Indian Ocean warming may have partly cancelled the influence of the stratospheric ozone depletion over the southern polar area, which itself forced a trend toward the positive phase of the SAM. Diagnosis of the physical mechanisms for the annular responses indicates that the direct impact of the diabatic heating induced by the Indian Ocean warming does not account for the annular response in the extratropics. Instead, interactions between the forced stationary wave anomalies and transient eddies is key for the formation of annular structures.

ID SEVERITY INDEX; UNITED-STATES; CLIMATE; PRECIPITATION; SENSITIVITY;

AB The optimal anomalous sea surface temperature (SST) pattern for forcing North American drought is identified through atmospheric general circulation model integrations in which the response of the Palmer drought severity index (PDSI) is determined for each of 43 prescribed localized SST anomaly "patches'' in a regular array over the tropical oceans. The robustness and relevance of the optimal pattern are established through the consistency of results obtained using two different models, and also by the good correspondence of the projection time series of historical tropical SST anomaly fields on the optimal pattern with the time series of the simulated PDSI in separate model integrations with prescribed time-varying observed global SST fields for 1920-2005. It is noteworthy that this optimal drought forcing pattern differs markedly in the Pacific Ocean from the dominant SST pattern associated with El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), and also shows a large sensitivity of North American drought to Indian and Atlantic Ocean SSTs.

TI The Dynamics of the West African Monsoon. Part V: The Detection and Role
of the Dominant Modes of Convectively Coupled Equatorial Rossby Waves

AB This study is the last in a series of papers addressing the dynamics of the West African summer monsoon at intraseasonal time scales between 10 and 90 days. The signals of convectively coupled equatorial Rossby (ER) waves within the summer African monsoon have been investigated after filtering NOAA outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) data within a box delineated by the dispersion curves of the theoretical ER waves. Two families of waves have been detected in the 10-100-day periodicity band by performing a singular spectrum analysis on a regional index of ER-filtered OLR. For each family the first EOF mode has been retained to focus on the main convective variability signal.
Within the periodicity band of 30-100 days, an ER wave pattern with an approximate wavelength of 13 500 km has been depicted. This ER wave links the MJO mode in the Indian monsoon sector with the main mode of convective variability over West and central Africa. This confirms the investigations carried out in previous studies.
Within the 10-30-day periodicity band, a separate ER wave pattern has been highlighted in the African monsoon system with an approximate wavelength of 7500 km, a phase speed of 6 m s(-1), and a period of 15 days. The combined OLR and atmospheric circulation pattern looks like a combination of ER wave solutions with meridional wavenumbers of 1 and 2. Its vertical baroclinic profile suggests that this wave is forced by the deep convective heating. Its initiation in terms of OLR modulation is detected north of Lake Victoria, extending northward and then propagating westward along the Sahel latitudes.
The Sahel mode identified in previous studies corresponds to the second main mode of convective variability within the 10-30-day periodicity band, and this has also been examined. Its pattern and evolution look like the first-mode ER wave pattern and they are temporally correlated with a coefficient of +0.6. About one-third of the Sahel mode events are concomitant with an ER wave occurrence. The main difference between these two signals consists of a stronger OLR and circulation modulation of the Sahel mode over East and central Africa. Thus, the Sahel mode occurrence and its westward propagation could be explained in part by atmospheric dynamics associated with the ER waves and in part by land surface interactions, as shown in other studies.

AB Secondary caries and restoration fracture remain common problems in dentistry. This study tested the hypothesis that combining nano-CaF2 and glass fillers would yield nanocomposites with high mechanical properties and F release. Novel CaF2 nanoparticles (56-nm) were synthesized via spray-drying and incorporated into resin. F release increased with increasing the nano-CaF2 content, or with decreasing pH (p < 0.05). F-release rates at 70-84 days were 1.13 mu g/(cm(2).day) and 0.50 mu g/(cm(2).day) for nanocomposites containing 30% and 20% nano-CaF2, respectively. They matched the 0.65 mu g/(cm(2).day) of resin-modified glass ionomer (p > 0.1). The nanocomposites had flexural strengths of 70-120 MPa, after 84-day immersion at pH 4, pH 5.5, and pH 7. These strengths were nearly three-fold that of resin-modified glass ionomer, and matched/exceeded a composite with little F release. In summary, novel CaF2 nanoparticles produced high F release at low filler levels, thereby making room in resin for reinforcement glass. This yielded nanocomposites with high F-release and stress-bearing properties, which may help reduce secondary caries and restoration fracture.

AB Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the direct pulp capping response to a novel resin-based calcium phosphate cement (RCPC). Methods: The RCPC was placed in contact with the exposed healthy pulps of dog teeth and in a follow-up study on the healthy or inflamed pulps of ferret teeth. The inflamed ferret teeth had reversible pulpitis induced with Salmonella typhimurium lipopolysaccharides. After direct pulp capping with RCPC or visible light-curing resin-modified calcium hydroxide material (VLCCH) as a control, the restorations were bonded using a composite resin. The pulp responses and dentin repair were evaluated histologically in dog teeth after 7, 28, or 90 days and in ferret teeth after 45 days. Results: Most of the RCPC-treated healthy pulps and 75% of the RCPC-treated inflamed ferret teeth had dentin healing and repair, whereas those teeth treated with VLCCH had minimal healing and dentin repair. Conclusions: The direct pulp capping of ferret and dog teeth with RCPC was associated with superior healing in comparison to VLCCH. (J Endod 2010;36:1222-1225)

Complete diffraction data at 3.6, 17, 27, and 40 K show that a crystal structural phase transition from tetragonal I4(1)/amd to orthorhombic Imma symmetry is found to take place between 27 and 40 K. This transition does not involve a significant change in the unit cell volume. Strong ferromagnetic reflections are observed at 3.6 and 17 K, and can be fit well using the magnetic model of space group Im'ma', with the moments of both Dy3+ and Cr5+ ions aligning along the y-axis.

AB Development of a reference model to predict the value of system parameters during fault-free operation is a basic step for fault detection and diagnosis (FDD). In order to develop an accurate and effective reference model of a heat pump system, experimental data that cover a wide range of operating conditions are required. In this study, laboratory data were collected under various operating conditions and then filtered through a moving window steady-state detector. Over five thousand scans of steady-state data were used to develop polynomial regression models of seven system features. A reference model was also developed using an artificial neural network ( ANN), and it is compared to the polynomial models.

AB Infrared spectra of bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane (C(5)H(8)) have been recorded at a resolution (0.0015 cm(-1)) sufficient to resolve for the first time individual rovibrational lines. This initial report presents the ground state constants for this molecule determined from the detailed, analysis of three of the ten infraredallowed bands, v(14)(e') at 540 cm(-1), v(17) (a(2)'') at 1220 cm(-1), v(18)(a) at 832 cm(-1), and a partial analysis of the v(11)(e') band at 1237 cm(-1). The upper states of transitions involving the lowest frequency mode, v(14)(e'), show no evidence of rovibrational perturbations but those for the v(17) and v(18) (a(2)'') modes give clear indication of Coriolis coupling to nearby e' levels. Accordingly, ground state constants were determined by use of the combination-difference method for all three bands. The assigned frequencies provided over 3300 consistent ground state difference values, yielding the following constants for the ground state (in units of cm(-1)): B(0) = 0.2399412(2), D(J) = 6.024(6) x 10(-8), D(JK) = -1.930(21) x 10(-8). For the unperturbed v(14)(e) fundamental, more than 3500 transitions were analyzed and the band origin was found to be at 540.34225(2) cm(-1). The numbers in parentheses are the uncertainties (two standard deviations) in the values of the constants. The results are compared with those obtained previously for [1.1.1]propellane and with those computed at the ab initio anharmonic level using the B3LYP density functional method with a cc-pVTZ basis set.

AB Local oxidation of metal, semiconductor, and polymer surfaces has provided a common basis from which to explore fundamental principles of nanolithography and prototype functional nanostructures for many years now. This article summarizes an investigation of local oxidation for iron and Group IV metal thin films using both scanning probe microscopy and high-voltage nanoimprinting methods. We illustrate how the underlying kinetics of metal oxidation in the presence of nitrogen, which is incorporated into the metal film during the growth process, is dramatically enhanced compared with that of single-crystal silicon. We then go on to demonstrate subsequent selective etching of latent features and a potential magnetic application.

TI Adsorption Sites and Binding Nature of CO2 in Prototypical Metal-Organic
Frameworks: A Combined Neutron Diffraction and First-Principles Study

AB We report a detailed study of CO2 adsorption in two important metal organic framework (MOF) compounds (Mg-MOF-74 and HKUST-1). In both MOFs, the open metal ions were identified as the primary binding sites through neutron diffraction measurements. The relatively strong metal-CO2 binding was attributed to an enhanced electrostatic interaction, and vibrational mode analysis shows that the adsorbed CO2 molecule is strongly attached through one of its oxygen atoms while the rest of the molecule is relatively free. This high orientational disorder is the reason for the large apparent O-C-O bond bending angle derived from diffraction measurements. Our calculations give only a small degree of bond bending, suggesting that the CO2 adsorption on the open metal site is still largely physisorption. Interestingly, the overall metal-CO2 binding strength is right in the range which can facilitate both adsorption (CO2 capture) and desorption (MOP regeneration) under typical flue gas conditions.

ID ANGLE NEUTRON-SCATTERING; PAMAM DENDRIMERS; AQUEOUS-SOLUTIONS;
MOLECULAR-DYNAMICS; SIMULATIONS
AB A combined small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS)study was conducted to investigate the structural characteristics of aqueous (D(2)O) solution of generation 7 and 8 (G7 & G8) polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer as a function of molecular protonation. A consequent change in the intramolecular dendrimer conformation was clearly quantified by a detailed data analysis separating intermolecular correlations from the intramolecular contribution. Our results unambiguously reveal both an increase in the molecular size and a continuous variation of the intramolecular density profile upon increasing molecular protonation. This observation is contrary to current understanding of high-generation polyelectrolyte dendrimers where steric crowding is supposed to stiffen the local motion of dendrimer segments hindering exploration of available intradendrimer free volume and thereby inhibiting electrostatic swelling. Our observation is relevant to the elucidation of the general microscopic picture of polyelectrolyte dendrimer structure, as well as the development of dendrimer-based packages based on the stimuli-responsive principle.

AB Simulations from a fine-resolution global coupled model, the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory Climate Model, version 2.4 (CM2.4), are presented, and the results are compared with a coarse version of the same coupled model, CM2.1, under idealized climate change scenarios. A particular focus is given to the dynamical response of the Southern Ocean and the role played by the eddies-parameterized or permitted-in setting the residual circulation and meridional density structure. Compared to the case in which eddies are parameterized and consistent with recent observational and idealized modeling studies, the eddy-permitting integrations of CM2.4 show that eddy activity is greatly energized with increasing mechanical and buoyancy forcings, buffering the ocean to atmospheric changes, and the magnitude of the residual oceanic circulation response is thus greatly reduced. Although compensation is far from being perfect, changes in poleward eddy fluxes partially compensate for the enhanced equatorward Ekman transport, leading to weak modifications in local isopycnal slopes, transport by the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, and overturning circulation. Since the presence of active ocean eddy dynamics buffers the oceanic response to atmospheric changes, the associated atmospheric response to those reduced ocean changes is also weakened. Further, it is hypothesized that present numerical approaches for the parameterization of eddy-induced transports could be too restrictive and prevent coarse-resolution models from faithfully representing the eddy response to variability and change in the forcing fields.

AB Diffusion-controlled dissolution and precipitation reactions occur in many biological systems and some non-stirred in vitro systems. Previous studies have shown that differences in the diffusion rates of the ions involved in a dissolution/precipitation reaction can produce significant effects on the rate and course of the reaction. We report here results of a study that show inter-diffusion of ions between two solutions, both saturated with respect to hydroxyapatite but with dissimilar compositions, resulted in one solution becoming undersaturated and the other supersaturated. A model is proposed that may explain the formation of a mineral-dense layer in the caries process.

AB The bone defect repair functions of calcium phosphate cement (CPC) are related to its osteoconductivity and its gradual replacement by new bone. Adding mannitol to CPC may enhance its bone repair potential by increasing CPCs macroporosity and dissolution rate. The objective of the study was to assess microporosity and macroporosity and dissolution rates for CPC mixed with mannitol. Three groups of CPC discs were prepared by combining an equimolar mixture of tetracalcium phosphate and anhydrous dicalcium phosphate with (0 %, 10 %, or 50 %) mass fraction (hereafter expressed as mass %) of mannitol. Macroporosity and microporosity of the samples were calculated from volume and mass measurements of the discs. Discs were then placed in a pH 3.0 demineralizing solution simulating acidified physiological solution, and dissolution rates were measured by a previously described constant-composition titration method. Pure CPC exhibited no macropores and microporosity (mean +/- s.d.; n = 5) of (46.8 +/- 0.8) % volume fraction (hereafter expressed as vol %). Adding 10 mass % mannitol resulted in 15.6 +/- 3.9 vol % macroporosity and 39.4 +/- 1.8 vol % microporosity, and adding 50 mass % mannitol produced 54.7 +/- 0.8 vol % macroporosity and 21.1 +/- 0.4 vol % microporosity. The dissolution rates (mean +/- s.d.; n = 5) of CPC with (0, 10, and 50) mass % mannitol incorporation were (30.6 +/- 3.4, 44.8 +/- 10.2, and 54.7 +/- 3.6, respectively) mu g . cm(-2) . min(-1), or (0.018 +/- 0.002, 0.032 +/- 0.007, and 0.072 +/- 0.005, respectively) mu L . cm(-2) . min-1. Adding either 10 mass % or 50 mass % mannitol into CPC significantly (p < 0.05) increased CPC dissolution rates. Adding mannitol readily increased macroporosity and dissolution rate of CPC, which may enhance the capacity of CPC to be osteoconductive.

AB Previous studies reported premixed calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) that were stable in the package and form hydroxyapatite (HA) as the product after exposure to an aqueous environment. These cements had setting times of greater than 60 min, which are too long to be useful for some clinical applications. The present study investigated properties of fast-setting HA-forming premixed CPCs that initially consisted of two separate premixed pastes: (1) finely ground (1.0 mu m in median size) dicalcium phosphate anhydrous (DCPA) mixed with an aqueous NaH(2)PO(4) solution, 1.5 mol/L or 3.0 mol/L in concentration, and (2) tetracalcium phosphate consisting of combinations of particles of two different size distributions, 5 mu m (TTCP5) and 17 mu m (TTCP17) in median size, mixed with glycerin. Equal volume of Pastes 1 and 2 were injected with the use of atwo-barrel syringe fitted with a static mixer into sample molds. The molar Ca/P ratio of combined paste was approximately 1.5. Cements were characterized in terms of setting time (Gilmore needle), diametral tensile strength (DTS), and phase composition (powder x-ray diffraction, XRD). Setting times were found to range from (4.3 +/- 0.6 to 68 +/- 3) min (mean +/- sd; n = 3), and 1-d and 7-d DTS values were from (0.89 +/- 0.08 to 2.44 +/- 0.16) MPa (mean +/- sd; n = 5). Both the NaH2PO4 concentration and TTCP particle size distribution had significant (p < 0.01) effects on setting time and DTS. Powder XRD analysis showed that low crystallinity HA and unreacted DCPA were present in the 1-day specimens, and the extent of HA formation increased with increasing amount of TTCP5 in the TTCP paste. Conclusion: Injectable HA-forming premixed CPCs with setting times from 4 to 70 min can be prepared by using DCPA and TTCP as the ingredients. Compared to the conventional powder liquid cements, these premixed CPCs have the advantages of being easy to use and having a range of hardening times.

AB This study aimed at preparing and studying the properties of nanoparticles of calcium phosphate (nCaP) with Ca/P ratios ranging from 1.0 to 1.67 using a spray-drying technique. Micro-structural analyses suggested that the nCaPs with Ca/P ratios of 1.67 to 1.33 were nano-sized amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) containing varying amounts of acid phosphate and carbonate. The nCaP with Ca/P ratio of 1 contained only nano-sized low crystalline dicalcium phosphate (DCP). BET measurements of the nCaPs showed specific surface areas of (12 +/- 2 to 50 +/- 1) m(2)/g, corresponding to estimated equivalent spherical diameters of (38 to 172) nm. However, dynamic light scattering measurements revealed much larger particles of (380 +/- 49 to 768 +/- 111) nm, owing to agglomeration of the smaller primary nano particles as revealed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Thermodynamic solubility measurements showed that the nCaPs with Ca/P ratio of 1.33 - 1.67 all have similar solubility behavior. The materials were more soluble than the crystalline hydroxyapatite (HA) at pH greater than about 4.7, and more soluble than beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP), octacalcium phosphate (OCP) and DCP at pH above 5.5. Their solubility approached that of a-tricalcium phosphate (alpha-TCP) at about pH 7. These nCaPs, which cannot be readily prepared by other currently available methods for nanoparticle preparation, have potential biomedical applications.

AB The osteoconductive and possibly osteoinductive characteristics of OCP increased the interest in preparation of bone graft materials that contain OCP in its composition. Calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) were prepared using a mixture of alpha-tricalcium phosphate (alpha-TCP) and dicalcium phosphate anhydrous (DCPA), with alpha-TCP / DCPA molar ratio of 1/1 and distilled water or 0.5 mol/L phosphate aqueous solution (pH = 6.1 +/- 0.1) as the cement liquid. Hardening time was (30 +/- 1) min for the CPC mixed with water and (5 +/- 1) min for the CPC mixed with phosphate solution. Diametral tensile strength (DTS), porosity (P), and phase composition (powder x-ray diffraction) were determined after the hardened specimens had been immersed in a physiological-like solution (PLS) for 1 d, 3 d, and 7 d. In CPC specimens prepared with water, calcium hydroxyapatite (HA) was formed and DTS and P were (9.03 +/- 0.48) MPa and (37.05 +/- 0.20) vol % after 1 d, respectively, and (9.15 +/- 0.45) MPa and (37.24 +/- 0.63) vol % after 3 d, respectively. In CPC specimens prepared with phosphate solution OCP and HA were formed and DTS and P were (4.38 +/- 0.49) MPa and (41.44 +/- 1.25) vol % after 1 d, respectively,(4.38 +/- 0.29) MPa and (42.52 +/- 2.15) vol % after 3 d, respectively, and (4.30 +/- 0.60) MPa and (41.38 +/- 1.65) vol % after 7 d, respectively. For each group DTS and P did not change with PLS immersion time. DTS was significantly higher and P was significantly lower for CPCs prepared with water. HA formation slightly increased with immersion time from 40 mass % after 1 d to 50 mass % after 3 d in CPCs prepared with water. OCP + HA formation increased with immersion time from 30 mass % after 1 d to 35 mass % after 3 d and to 45 mass % after 7 d in CPCs prepared with 0.5 mol/L phosphate solution.

AB This study reports for the first time in vitro and in vivo properties of fluorapatite (FA)-forming calcium phosphate cements (CPCs). The experimental cements contained from (0 to 3.1) mass % of F, corresponding to presence of FA at levels of approximately (0 to 87) mass %. The crystallinity of the apatitic cement product increased greatly with the FA content. When implanted subcutaneously in rats, the in vivo resorption rate decreased significantly with increasing FA content. The cement with the highest FA content was not resorbed in soft tissue, making it the first known biocompatible and bioinert CPC. These bioinert CPCs might be useful for applications where slow or no resorption of the implant is required to achieve the desired clinical outcome.

AB Previous studies showed that water-free, premixed calcium phosphate cements (Pre-CPCs) exhibited longer hardening times and lower strengths than conventional CPCs, but were stable in the package. The materials hardened only after being delivered to a wet environment and formed hydroxyapatite as the only product. Pre-CPCs also demonstrated good washout resistance and excellent biocompatibility when implanted in subcutaneous tissues in rats. The present study evaluated characteristics of Pre-CPCs when implanted in subcutaneous tissues (Study I) and used for repairing surgically created two-wall periodontal defects (Study II). Pre-CPC pastes were prepared by combining CPC powders that consisted of CPC-1: Ca-4(PO4)(2)O and CaHPO4, CPC-2: alpha-Ca-3(PO4)(2) and CaCO3 or CPC-3: DCPA and Ca(OH)(2) with a glycerol at powder-to-liquid mass ratios of 3.5, 2.5, and 2.5, respectively. In each cement mixture, the Ca to P molar ratio was 1.67. The glycerol contained Na2HPO4 (30 mass %) and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (0.55 %) to accelerate cement hardening and improve washout resistance, respectively. In Study I, the test materials were implanted subcutaneously in rats. Four weeks after the operation, the animals were sacrificed and histopathological observations were performed. The results showed that all of the implanted materials exhibited very slight or negligible inflammatory reactions in tissues contacted with the implants. In Study II, the mandibular premolar teeth of mature beagle dogs were extracted. One month later, two-wall periodontal bone defects were surgically created adjacent to the teeth of the mandibular bone. The defects were filled with the Pre-CPC pastes and the flaps replaced in the preoperative position. The dogs were sacrificed at 1, 3 and 6 months after surgery and sections of filled defects resected. Results showed that one month after surgery, the implanted Pre-CPC-1 paste was partially replaced by bone and was converted to bone at 6 months. The pockets filled with Pre-CPC-2 were completely covered by newly formed bone in 1 month. The Pre-CPC-2 was partially replaced by trabecular bone in 1 month and was completely replaced by bone in 6 months. Examination of 1 month and 3 month samples indicated that Pre-CPC-2 resorbed and was replaced by bone more rapidly than Pre-CPC 1. Both Pre-CPC pastes were highly osteoconductive. When implanted in periodontal defects, Pre-CPC-2 was replaced by bone more rapidly than Pre-CPC-1.

AB We examined the patterns of abundance and distribution of Alaska plaice, Pleuronectes quadrituberculatus, eggs, larvae and pelagic juveniles over the southeastern Bering Sea shelf to better understand factors controlling transport and recruitment of flatfish in the Bering Sea. Ichthyoplankton data were derived from plankton surveys conducted in 1997, 1999, 2002, 2003, and 2005. Temperature, salinity, depth, and abundance of micro-zooplankton were measured concurrently. Eggs and larvae were primarily collected from depths <200 m, with the majority occurring over bottom depths ranging 50-100 m. Eggs were present throughout the water column, though densities of preflexion stage larvae were concentrated at depths 10-20 m. There was no evidence of vertical migration for pre-flexion stages. Spawning in Alaska plaice occurs primarily east of Port Moller in April and May, and eggs and larvae appear to drift to the north and northeast, an observation based on satellite-tracked drifter information, model output, and collections of older, later-stage postlarvae. Connectivity between spawning areas and nursery habitats is likely influenced by wind forcing, so climate-mediated changes to dispersal trajectory or timing is expected to have significant impacts on recruitment in this species, though entrainment in consistent, directional currents may modify these effects.

AB Retrospective analyses of a 23 year data set on abundance of Age 0 southern flounder in 105 estuarine nursery areas in the coastal region of North Carolina showed that discernible temporal and spatial patterns exist among clusters of stations. Furthermore, these patterns could be quantitatively related to certain meteorological and hydrological variables, namely winds from the east-southeast (E-SE) and from the north-northeast (N-NE) sectors and river runoff, which explained up to 83% of the interannual variability in numbers. We developed a regression model using recent catch data (1987-2002) and used the model to hindcast an earlier segment of the time series (1979-1986). The model was found to be quite robust, and could predict year class strength within 1 to 80% in the test set of data. We interpret these results to mean that hydrodynamic factors are principally responsible for the observed interannual recruitment variability in southern flounder in NC, since the interannual pattern in abundance of Age 0 fish persists for 2 more years of adult life. Finally, we discuss the implications of the variable spatial distribution patterns for estimates of year class strength from juvenile abundance data. It is possible that estimates of year class strength with a useful level of confidence could be obtained from meteorological data during the larval migration period. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.

AB Ambient sound in the ocean contains quantifiable information about the marine environment. A passive aquatic listener (PAL) was deployed at a long-term mooring site in the southeastern Bering Sea from 27 April through 28 September 2004. This was a chain mooring with lots of clanking. However, the sampling strategy of the PAL filtered through this noise and allowed the background sound field to be quantified for natural signals. Distinctive signals include the sound from wind, drizzle and rain. These sources dominate the sound budget and their intensity can be used to quantify wind speed and rainfall rate. The wind speed measurement has an accuracy of +/- 0.4 m s(-1) when compared to a buoy-mounted anemometer. The rainfall rate measurement is consistent with a land-based measurement in the Aleutian chain at Cold Bay, AK (170 km south of the mooring location). Other identifiable sounds include ships and short transient tones. The PAL was designed to reject transients in the range important for quantification of wind speed and rainfall, but serendipitously recorded peaks in the sound spectrum between 200 Hz and 3 kHz. Some of these tones are consistent with whale calls, but most are apparently associated with mooring self-noise. (C) 2010 Acoustical Society of America. [DOI: 10.1121/1.3436547]

AB After decades of research, there still is no universal agreement on the basic mechanisms that are responsible for the induction period (Stage 2) in cement hydration at early times. This paper surveys several theories and critical experimental data on early-age hydration kinetics of tricalcium silicate, the most abundant phase in Portland cement clinker. Using HydratiCA, a kinetic cellular automaton model of cement hydration and microstructure development, we investigate two of the leading hypotheses on the mechanism of slow hydration in Stage 2, and see for each one the implications of suppressing the growth of calcium hydroxide formation. Each hypothesized mechanism leads to quite different kinetic behavior when calcium hydroxide is suppressed, a result which indicates a line of future experimental inquiry that could decisively determine the Stage 2 mechanism. Furthermore, the simulations demonstrate how the early theory of calcium hydroxide triggering might be reconciled to the more modern theoretical models and to the experimental data.

TI Effect of N-Terminal Glutamic Acid and Glutamine on Fragmentation of
Peptide Ions
SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR MASS SPECTROMETRY
LA English
DT Article
ID COLLISION-INDUCED DISSOCIATION; PROTONATED TRYPTIC PEPTIDES; MOBILE
AB A prominent dissociation path for electrospray generated tryptic peptide ions is the dissociation of the peptide bond linking the second and third residues from the amino-terminus. The formation of the resulting b(2) and y(n-2) fragments has been rationalized by specific facile mechanisms. An examination of spectral libraries shows that this path predominates in diprotonated peptides composed of 12 or fewer residues, with the notable exception of peptides containing glutamine or glutamic acid at the N-terminus. To elucidate the mechanism by which these amino acids affect peptide fragmentation, we synthesized peptides of varying size and composition and examined their MS/MS spectra as a function of collision voltage in a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. Loss of water from N-terminal glutamic acid and glutamine is observed at a lower voltage than any other fragmentation, leading to cyclization of the terminal residue. This cyclization results in the conversion of the terminal amine group to an imide, which has a lower proton affinity. As a result, the second proton is not localized at the N-terminus but is readily transferred to other sites, leading to fragmentation near the center of the peptide. Further confirmation was obtained by examining peptides with N-terminal pyroglutamic acid and N-acetyl peptides. Peptides with N-terminal proline maintain the trend of forming b(2) and y(n-2) because their ring contains an imine rather than imide and has sufficient proton affinity to retain the proton at the N-terminus.

TI Jet Alignment in a Two-Layer Quasigeostrophic Channel Using
One-Dimensional Grid Warping
SO JOURNAL OF THE ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES

ID DATA ASSIMILATION; FORECAST ERRORS; PRECIPITATION FORECASTS; PART I;

AB Because of position errors traditional methods of data assimilation can broaden and weaken jets or other flow structures leading to reduced forecast skill. Here a technique to assimilate properties of coherent structures is developed and tested. Focusing on jets, the technique identifies jets in both the modeled and observed fields and warps the model grid so that the jet positions are better aligned prior to further assimilation of observations. The technique is tested using optimal interpolation on the flow in a two-layer quasigeostrophic channel. The results show that a simple and fast jet position correction algorithm can significantly improve the skill of a 12-h forecast. Furthermore, the results indicate that this method of position correction maintains its utility when observations become sparse.

TI Safely mounting glass viewports to elastomer sealed vacuum flanges
SO JOURNAL OF VACUUM SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY A
LA English
DT Article
AB Elastomer sealed vacuum flanges rely on especially sized elastomer O-rings and corresponding grooves to make an air-tight seal. Depending on the materials being sealed to one another, the O-ring/groove sealing mechanism may be designed for a specific percentage compression of the O-ring at the point of flange-to-flange contact. In the case of a glass viewport being sealed to a metal flange, however, direct contact between the glass and a mating metallic flange may produce stresses in the glass that can lead to failure during system evacuation or while the system is under vacuum. In this article, the authors first review fundamentals of safe O-ring seal construction that the reader will find useful when designing or inspecting viewports meant for vacuum systems. We then discuss an especially constructed adapter flange that allows the safe sealing of a 20 cm diameter glass viewport to an aluminum O-ring flange that was originally designed for a typical metal flange-to-metal flange seal. Factors affecting the strength of glass are discussed, and calculations for maximum deflection under load and safe glass window thickness are presented. [DOI: 10.1116/1.3442803]

AB In this work, a Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy-based method is developed to measure the gas-phase dynamics occurring during atomic layer deposition. This new technique is demonstrated during the deposition of hafnium oxide using tetrakis(ethylmethylamido)hafnium and water vapor. The repeatability of the deposition process is utilized to signal average across multiple cycles. This approach required synchronizing the precursor injection pulses with the moving mirror of the spectrometer. The system as implemented in this work achieves spectra with a time resolution of approximate to 150 ms, but better resolution can be easily obtained. Using this technique, the authors are able to optically measure transients in the molecular number densities of the precursors and product that are the effects of mass transport and surface reactions.

ID INFRARED SPECTROMETER; WAVE-GUIDE; GENERATION; DETECTOR
AB We have developed a polarization independent (PI) spectrometer based on frequency up-conversion technology for single photon level spectrum measurement at the fiber communication band. To overcome the polarization dependence of the frequency up-conversion process, we use two periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) waveguides with a polarizing beam splitter. We experimentally study the sensitivity and resolution of the PI up-conversion spectrometer. We demonstrate the spectrometer by way of a spectrum measurement of a single photon level signal in the communication band.

AB Genetic structure and phylogeography of the harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena in the North Pacific were examined using 358 bps sequences from the 5' end of the mitochondrial DNA control region including those reported previously and newly obtained from the west Pacific. AMOVA and pairwise population phi (st) estimates clearly revealed genetic differentiation between an east/south and a north/northwest group with the break along the Pacific Rim at British Columbia. In addition, nested clade phylogeographical analysis, neutrality tests, mismatch distribution analysis, genetic diversities and Mantel test, suggested that the observed genetic structure might have been influenced by contiguous range expansion with restricted gene flow in the direction from south to north along the North American coasts and east to west along the Pacific Rim in the middle to late Pleistocene.

AB We used photographic mark-recapture methods to estimate the number of mammal-eating "transient" killer whales using the coastal waters from the central Gulf of Alaska to the central Aleutian Islands, around breeding rookeries of endangered Steller sea lions. We identified 154 individual killer whales from 6,489 photographs collected between July 2001 and August 2003. A Bayesian mixture model estimated seven distinct clusters (95% probability interval = 7-10) of individuals that were differentially covered by 14 boat-based surveys exhibiting varying degrees of association in space and time. Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods were used to sample identification probabilities across the distribution of clusters to estimate a total of 345 identified and undetected whales (95% probability interval = 255-487). Estimates of covariance between surveys, in terms of their coverage of these clusters, indicated spatial population structure and seasonal movements from these near-shore waters, suggesting spatial and temporal variation in the predation pressure on coastal marine mammals.

AB Sr:Ca and Ba:Ca ratios in water from the Adour estuary show a clear relationship with the salinity of the surrounding water for salinities <20, while ratios are almost constant above this level of salinity. A Positive relationship was observed for the Sr:Ca ratio, whereas it was inverse for the Ba Ca ratio. These two elemental ratios were measured in the otoliths of the European eels (Anguilla anguilla L) using femtosecond laser ablation linked to an ICP-MS (fs-LA ICP-MS) There was a direct relationship between the elemental ratios recorded in eel otoliths and those found in water from fresh and marine areas, suggesting that Sr Ca and Ba:Ca ratios in eel otoliths can be used as markers of habitat in this estuary Continuous profiling allowed the determination of three behaviour patterns in terms of habitat freshwater, estuary and migratory individuals Finally, the above results support the simultaneous use of both ratios for a better understanding of the migratory contingents and also as a relevant method to avoid a misidentification of environmental migratory history due to the presence of vaterite crystal in the otolith matrix.

AB Using whole-ecosystem dynamic simulation models fitted to local data, two coastal communities are described (temperate, northern British Columbia, Canada, tropical, Raja Ampat, Indonesia) where relatively poor fishers' livelihoods are threatened by climate change and overfishing. A novel theoretical minimum bycatch scenario, the 'maximum dexterity fleet', is combined with a search algorithm specifying optimal fisheries to achieve economic and biodiversity goals Potential gains made by approaching an optimal fleet configuration prove robust against increased risks from climate variability Although fish, gear and way of life differ greatly, in both communities it is suggested that dexterity (adroitness in adapting fishing gear) could lead to improved benefits from fishing (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved

ID CROSS-VALIDATION
AB Recognition of the importance of cross-validation ('any technique or instance of assessing how the results of a statistical analysis will generalize to an independent dataset'; Wiktionary, en.wiktionary.org) is one reason that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission requires all investment products to carry some variation of the disclaimer, 'Past performance is no guarantee of future results.' Even a cursory examination of financial behaviour, however, demonstrates that this warning is regularly ignored, even by those who understand what an independent dataset is. In the natural sciences, an analogue to predicting future returns for an investment strategy is predicting power of a particular algorithm to perform with new data. Once again, the key to developing an unbiased assessment of future performance is through testing with independent data-that is, data that were in no way involved in developing the method in the first place. A 'gold-standard' approach to cross-validation is to divide the data into two parts, one used to develop the algorithm, the other used to test its performance. Because this approach substantially reduces the sample size that can be used in constructing the algorithm, researchers often try other variations of cross-validation to accomplish the same ends. As illustrated by Anderson in this issue of Molecular Ecology Resources, however, not all attempts at cross-validation produce the desired result. Anderson used simulated data to evaluate performance of several software programs designed to identify subsets of loci that can be effective for assigning individuals to population of origin based on multilocus genetic data. Such programs are likely to become increasingly popular as researchers seek ways to streamline routine analyses by focusing on small sets of loci that contain most of the desired signal. Anderson found that although some of the programs made an attempt at cross-validation, all failed to meet the 'gold standard' of using truly independent data and therefore produced overly optimistic assessments of power of the selected set of loci-a phenomenon known as 'high grading bias.'.

AB The utility of microsatellite markers for inferring population size and trend has not been rigorously examined, even though these markers are commonly used to monitor the demography of natural populations. We assessed the ability of a linkage disequilibrium estimator of effective population size (N(e)) and a simple capture-recapture estimator of abundance (N) to quantify the size and trend of stable or declining populations (true N = 100-10,000), using simulated Wright-Fisher populations. Neither method accurately or precisely estimated abundance at sample sizes of S = 30 individuals, regardless of true N. However, if larger samples of S = 60 or 120 individuals were collected, these methods provided useful insights into abundance and trends for populations of N = 100-500. At small population sizes (N = 100 or 250), precision of the N(e) estimates was improved slightly more by a doubling of loci sampled than by a doubling of individuals sampled. In general, monitoring N(e) proved a more robust means of identifying stable and declining populations than monitoring N over most of the parameter space we explored, and performance of the N(e) estimator is further enhanced if the N(e)/N ratio is low. However, at the largest population size (N = 10,000), N estimation outperformed N(e). Both methods generally required >= 5 generations to pass between sampling events to correctly identify population trend.

ID ACCURACY; SELECTION
AB It is well known that statistical classification procedures should be assessed using data that are separate from those used to train the classifier. This principle is commonly overlooked when the classification procedure in question is population assignment using a set of genetic markers that were chosen specifically on the basis of their allele frequencies from amongst a larger number of candidate markers. This oversight leads to a systematic upward bias in the predicted accuracy of the chosen set of markers for population assignment. Three widely used software programs for selecting markers informative for population assignment suffer from this bias. The extent of this bias is documented through a small set of simulations. The relative effect of the bias is largest when screening many candidate loci from poorly differentiated populations. Simple unbiased methods are presented and their use encouraged.

AB It is hypothesized that the tropical-to-extratropical transition of a cyclone in the western North Pacific can be sensitive to the underlying sea surface temperature (SST) distribution. This hypothesis was tested through a case study of Typhoon Tokage using a series of high-resolution simulations by the Weather Research Forecast (WRF) numerical weather prediction model. Simulations were carried out for a control SST distribution and for SST distributions with imposed warm and cold perturbations of 1.5 degrees C maximum amplitude in the vicinity of the Kuroshio Extension. The simulations with the warm SST perturbation yielded a cyclone slightly weaker than in the control SST case about 2 days after transition. In contrast, the cold SST perturbation case yielded a cyclone with a central pressure 10 hPa lower than in the control case at the same point in the storm's life cycle, apparently due to its more northward track and hence closer proximity to an approaching upper-level trough and perhaps in association with a stronger warm front. The effects of the regional SST on the simulated storms are manifested not just locally, but also cause substantial impacts on 500-hPa geopotential heights over much of the North Pacific basin. Retrospective analysis of meridional heat fluxes associated with these events using the NCEP-NCAR reanalysis was carried out for early fall (September-November) seasons with relatively warm and cool SST in the region of the imposed SST perturbations. Differences in the patterns of these fluxes between the warm and cool years are broadly consistent with the results from the warm versus cool SST simulations for Typhoon Tokage.

AB The authors analyze and model time series of annual counts of tropical storms lasting more than 2 days in the North Atlantic basin and U. S. landfalling tropical storms over the period 1878-2008 in relation to different climate indices. The climate indices considered are the tropical Atlantic sea surface temperature (SST), tropical mean SST, the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), and the Southern Oscillation index (SOI). Given the uncertainties associated with a possible tropical storm undercount in the presatellite era, two different time series of counts for the North Atlantic basin are employed: one is the original (uncorrected) tropical storm record maintained by the National Hurricane Center and the other one is with a correction for the estimated undercount associated with a changing observation network. Two different SST time series are considered: the Met Office's HadISSTv1 and NOAA's Extended Reconstructed SST.
Given the nature of the data (counts), a Poisson regression model is adopted. The selection of statistically significant covariates is performed by penalizing models for adding extra parameters and two penalty functions are used. Depending on the penalty function, slightly different models, both in terms of covariates and dependence of the model's parameter, are obtained, showing that there is not a "single best'' model. Moreover, results are sensitive to the undercount correction and the SST time series.
Suggestions concerning the model to use are provided, driven by both the outcomes of the statistical analyses and the current understanding of the underlying physical processes responsible for the genesis, development, and tracks of tropical storms in the North Atlantic basin. Although no single model is unequivocally superior to the others, the authors suggest a very parsimonious family of models using as covariates tropical Atlantic and tropical mean SSTs.

AB The fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University-NCAR Mesoscale Model (MM5) coupled with the Noah land surface model (LSM) is employed to simulate island-scale airflow and circulations over Maui County, Hawaii, under summer trade wind conditions, during July-August 2005. The model forecasts are validated by surface observations with good agreement.
In this study, it is shown that a previously known closed circulation over the Central Valley of Maui, or the Maui vortex, represents the northern cyclonic vortex of the dual-counter-rotating vortices in the lee of Haleakala, which extend up to the base of the trade wind inversion with a westerly reversed flow (> 2 m s(-1)). At low levels, the northern cyclonic vortex is more pronounced than the southern anticyclonic vortex. The asymmetric structure of the dual vortices is related to the shape of Haleakala and the flow deflection by the West Maui Mountains. The Maui vortex has a relatively narrow east-west extent in the lowest levels, especially at night, due to the deflected strong northerly/northeasterly winds from the windward foothills of the West Maui Mountains. Unlike the lee vortices off the leeside coast of the island of Hawaii, the Maui vortex and the westerly return flow in low levels are mainly over land and are strongly modulated by the diurnal heating cycle. In addition, the location and horizontal and vertical extent are affected by the trade wind speed and latent heat release.
Over the West Maui Mountains, with their height below the trade wind inversion, dual-counter-rotating vortices are present below the 1-km level in the wake, with strong downslope flow on the leeside slopes followed by a hydraulic jump. In the afternoon, downslope winds are weak, with combined westerly return/sea-breeze flow along the leeside coast. Orographic blocking is also evident over eastern Molokai with strong downslope winds, especially at night.

AB The characteristics of "target'' locations of tropospheric wind and temperature identified by a modified version of the ensemble transform Kalman filter (ETKF), in order to reduce 0-7-day forecast errors over North America, are explored from the perspective of a field program planner. Twenty cases of potential high-impact weather over the continent were investigated, using a 145-member ensemble comprising perturbations from NCEP, ECMWF, and the Canadian Meteorological Centre (CMC).
Multiple targets were found to exist in the midlatitude storm track. In half of the cases, distinctive targets could be traced upstream near Japan at lead times of 4-7 days. In these cases, the flow was predominantly zonal and a coherent Rossby wave packet was present over the northern Pacific Ocean. The targets at the longest lead times were often located within propagating areas of baroclinic energy conversion far upstream. As the lead time was reduced, these targets were found to diminish in importance, with downstream targets corresponding to a separate synoptic system gaining in prominence. This shift in optimal targets is sometimes consistent with the radiation of ageostrophic geopotential fluxes and transfer of eddy kinetic energy downstream, associated with downstream baroclinic development. Concurrently, multiple targets arise due to spurious long-distance correlations in the ETKF. The targets were least coherent in blocked flows, in which the ETKF is known to be least reliable. The effectiveness of targeting in the medium range requires evaluation, using data such as those collected during the winter phase of The Observing System Research and Predictability Experiment (THORPEX) Pacific Asian Regional Field Campaign (T-PARC) in 2009.

AB Comparisons between single-column (SCM) simulations with the total energy-mass flux boundary layer scheme (TEMF) and large-eddy simulations (LES) are shown for four cases from the Gulf of Mexico Atmospheric Composition and Climate Study (GoMACCS) 2006 field experiment in the vicinity of Houston, Texas. The SCM simulations were run with initial soundings and surface forcing identical to those in the LES, providing a clean comparison with the boundary layer scheme isolated from any other influences. Good agreement is found in the simulated vertical transport and resulting moisture profiles. Notable differences are seen in the cloud base and in the distribution of moisture between the lower and upper cloud layer. By the end of the simulations, TEMF has dried the subcloud layer and moistened the lower cloud layer more than LES. TEMF gives more realistic profiles for shallow cumulus conditions than traditional boundary layer schemes, which have no transport above the dry convective boundary layer. Changes to the formulation and its parameters from previous publications are discussed.

AB Upon absorption of single photons, multiple excitons were generated and detected in semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) using transient absorption spectroscopy For (6,5) SWNTs, absorption of single photons with energies corresponding to three times the SWNT energy gap results in an exciton generation efficiency of 130% per photon Our results suggest that the multiple exciton generation threshold in SWNTs can be close to the limit defined by energy conservation

SO NORTH AMERICAN JOURNAL OF AQUACULTURE

DT Article
AB The effect of pond size on survival and growth of fingerling striped bass Morone saxatilis in brackish-water (5-10%) ponds may be important in designing striped bass production facilities. Seven-day-old fry were stocked at densities of 248,000-317,000 fish/ha into 13 ponds (0.2-1.6 ha), and surviving fish were harvested about 1 month later. Pond size did not affect striped bass survival, growth, or production. Mean (+/- SE) survival over the rearing period was 36.4 +/- 5.6%. Mean total length (TL) was 34.2 +/- 0.9 mm. Mean production was 1.40 +/- 0.17 kg.ha(-1).d(-1). Large ponds (at least 1.6 ha) are preferable over smaller ponds for producing 34-mm-TL striped bass fingerlings in brackish-water ponds because of the lower cost of construction and maintenance and the reduced land and water use.

AB In this report we address the current situation of laser-driven hard X-ray sources for imaging applications, especially the saturation of X-ray conversion efficiency and the serious impact upon imaging quality. By employing high contrast laser pulses, the conversion efficiency to X-rays from solid foil targets is improved and the structure of the spectrum can be optimized with respect to imaging applications. In addition, bright Ar K-shell X-rays with very little continuum background have been generated by irradiating, with an ultra-high contrast laser, a target of Ar gas clusters created by a gas jet. These improvements show great potential for single-shot ultrafast X-ray imaging. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB Various methods exist to filter cosmic rays from X-ray CCD images with weak X-ray spectra. Distortions of the characteristics of a spectral profile such as peak centroid and relative integrated peak intensities must be kept to a minimum. Optimum methods are those minimising error bars and widths on the final centroid determination and on relative intensities which remain consistent with the widths for unfiltered data. A cluster method, a linear correlation method and a combination of both were examined using H-like Ti collected at the NIST EBIT. The cluster method is a strong filter but appears to distort centroids and relative intensities. The linear correlation method filters less and distorts less. The strongest filtering is to use both yielding the highest signal-to-noise while enhancing apparent distortions. All methods appear fairly robust. Strong cosmic-ray filters with minimal distortion of X-ray spectra can increase the precision of X-ray CCD measurements and enhance the resulting physical insight. (C) 2010 Published by Elsevier B.V.

AB A new spectroscopic technique for the measurement of the sizes of hard X-ray sources produced by the irradiation of solid-density targets by intense laser radiation is discussed. The technique is based on the source broadening of K shell spectral lines from targets irradiated by intense picosecond laser pulses. The spectra are recorded by a modified Cauchois type spectrometer, where the detector is placed far behind the Rowland circle where source broadening dominates instrumental resolution. The laser irradiation with focused intensity greater than 10(18) W/cm(2) produces relativistic electrons that propagate from the focal spot into the surrounding target material with mm range. The energetic electrons produce 1 s electron ionization and K shell radiation with picosecond duration that can be utilized for transient radiography of dense objects including evolving dense plasmas. However, the hard X-ray source has mm lateral size when extended targets are utilized while a much smaller source size (of order 10 mu m) is necessary for high-resolution point projection radiography. The lateral source size can be greatly reduced by using targets with limited aspect to the radiography object such as thin foils and wires, but the brightness of these sources is greatly reduced compared to thick planar targets. Studies indicate that the electron range and source size can also be reduced by utilizing an electrically resistive target material such as teflon. In this case the electron propagation from the focal spot is inhibited by a weak return current and incomplete space-charge neutralization. These experimental results are important not only for producing a small hard X-ray source for picosecond radiography but also for reducing the lateral propagation of energetic electrons that can be detrimental to fast-ignition fusion.

AB Ultralow-loss concave micromirrors with radius of curvature below 60 mu m were fabricated by laser ablation and reflective coatings. A 10-mu m-long microcavity with a mode volume of 40 mu m(3) was set up with two such mirrors, and the cavity linewidth was measured both spectrally and temporally. The smallest linewidth obtained was 96 MHz, corresponding to a quality factor of 3.3 x 10(6) and a finesse in excess of 1.5 x 10(5). With these parameters, we estimate that a variety of solid-state quantum emitters coupled to the cavity may enter the strong coupling regime. (C) 2010 Optical Society of America

AB Critical gaps in our understanding of the distributions, interactions, life histories and preferred habitats of large and medium-size pelagic fishes severely constrain the implementation of ecosystem-based, spatially structured fisheries management approaches. In particular, spawning distributions and the environmental characteristics associated with the early life stages are poorly documented. In this study, we consider the diversity, assemblages, and associated habitat of the larvae of large and medium-sized pelagic species collected during 2 years of monthly surveys across the Straits of Florida. In total, 36 taxa and 14,295 individuals were collected, with the highest diversity occurring during the summer and in the western, frontal region of the Florida Current. Only a few species (e.g. Thunnus obesus, T. alalunga, Tetrapturus pfluegeri) considered for this study were absent. Small scombrids (e.g. T. atlanticus, Katsuwonus pelamis, Auxis spp.) and gempylids dominated the catch and were orders of magnitude more abundant than many of the rare species (e.g. Thunnus thynnus, Kajikia albida). Both constrained (CCA) and unconstrained (NMDS) multivariate analyses revealed a number of species groupings including: (1) a summer Florida edge assemblage (e.g. Auxis spp., Euthynnus alleterattus, Istiophorus platypterus); (2) a summer offshore assemblage (e.g. Makaira nigricans, T. atlanticus, Ruvettus pretiosus, Lampris guttatus); (3) an ubiquitous assemblage (e.g. K. pelamis, Coryphaena hippurus, Xiphias gladius); and (4) a spring/winter assemblage that was widely dispersed in space (e.g. trachipterids). The primary environmental factors associated with these assemblages were sea-surface temperature (highest in summer-early fall), day length (highest in early summer), thermocline depth (shallowest on the Florida side) and fluorescence (highest on the Florida side). Overall, the results of this study provide insights into how a remarkable diversity of pelagic species spatially and temporally partition spawning within a region that is characterized by dynamic oceanography and strong habitat gradients.

AB Data from 29 pop-up archival transmission (PAT) tags deployed on commercial-size bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) in the central North Pacific Ocean from 4 degrees N to 32 degrees N were analyzed to describe variability in their dive behavior across space and time. During the day, bigeye tuna generally spent time in the 0-50 m and 300-400 m depth ranges, with spatial and temporal variability in the deep mode. At night, bigeye tuna generally inhabited the 0-100 m depth range. Three daily dive types were defined based on the percentage of time tuna spent in specific depth layers during the day. These three types were defined as shallow, intermediate, and deep and represented 24.4%, 18.8%, and 56.8% of the total number of days in the study, respectively. More shallow and intermediate dive-type behavior was found in the first half of the year, and in latitudes from 14 degrees N to 16 degrees N and north of 28 degrees N. A greater amount of deep-dive behavior was found in the regions south of 10 degrees N and between 18 degrees N and 28 degrees N during the third and fourth quarters of the year. Dive-type behavior also varied with oceanographic conditions, with more shallow and intermediate behavior found in colder surface waters. Intermediate and deep-dive types were pooled to reflect the depths where bigeye tuna may have potential interactions with fishing gear. A Generalized Additive Model was used to quantify the effects of time, space, and sea surface temperature on this pooled dive type. Results from the model showed that while latitude and quarter of the year were important parameters, sea surface temperature had the most significant effect on the pooled intermediate and deep-dive behavior. Model predictions indicated that the largest percentage of potential interaction would occur in the fourth quarter in the region from 18 degrees N-20 degrees N, which corresponds to the time and place of the highest bigeye tuna catch rates by the Hawaii-based long-line fishery. These results suggest that a model framework using these three predictive variables may be useful in identifying areas of potentially high bigeye tuna catch rates. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

AB Evaluating the impacts of climate and fishing on oceanic ecosystems requires an improved understanding of the trophodynamics of pelagic food webs. Our approach was to examine broad-scale spatial relationships among the stable N isotope values of copepods and yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacores), and to quantify yellowfin tuna trophic status in the food web based on stable-isotope and stomach-contents analyses. Using a generalized additive model fitted to abundance-weighted-average delta(15)N values of several omnivorous copepod species, we examined isotopic spatial relationships among yellowfin tuna and copepods. We found a broad-scale, uniform gradient in delta(15)N values of copepods increasing from south to north in a region encompassing the eastern Pacific warm pool and parts of several current systems. Over the same region, a similar trend was observed for the delta(15)N values in the white muscle of yellowfin tuna caught by the purse-seine fishery, implying limited movement behavior. Assuming the omnivorous copepods represent a proxy for the delta(15)N values at the base of the food web, the isotopic difference between these two taxa, "Avvr-cop," was interpreted as a trophic-position offset. Yellowfin tuna trophic-position estimates based on their bulk delta(15)N values were not significantly different than independent estimates based on stomach contents, but are sensitive to errors in the trophic enrichment factor and the trophic position of copepods. An apparent inshore-offshore, east to west gradient in yellowfin tuna trophic position was corroborated using compound-specific isotope analysis of amino acids conducted on a subset of samples. The gradient was not explained by the distribution of yellowfin tuna of different sizes, by seasonal variability at the base of the food web, or by known ambit distances (i.e. movements). Yellowfin tuna stomach contents did not show a regular inshore-offshore gradient in trophic position during 20032005, but the trophic-position estimates based on both methods had similar scales of variability. We conclude that trophic status of yellowfin tuna increased significantly from east to west over the study area based on the spatial pattern of Delta(YFT-COP) values and the difference between the delta(15)N values of glutamic acid and glycine, "trophic" and "source" amino acids, respectively. These results provide improved depictions of trophic links and biomass flows for food-web models, effective tools to evaluate climate and fishing effects on exploited ecosystems.

AB Changes in the behavior of individual animals in response to environmental characteristics can provide important information about habitat preference, as well as the relative risk that animals may face based on the amount of time spent in hazardous areas. We analyzed movement and habitat affinities of ten loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) tagged with satellite transmitters in the spring and fall of 1998 near Madeira, Portugal for periods of 2-10 months. We analyzed the behavior of these individuals in relation to the marine environment they occupied. As a measure of behavior we calculated the straightness index (SI), the ratio of the displacement of the animal to the total distance traveled, for individual weekly segments of the 10 tracks. We then extracted information about chlorophyll a concentration, sea-surface temperature (SST), bathymetry, and geostrophic current of the ocean in a 20-km buffer surrounding the tracks, and examined their relationship to the straightness index using generalized linear models. Chlorophyll a value, bathymetry and SST were significantly related to the straightness index of the tracks of all ten animals, as was the circular standard deviation of the geostrophic current (Wald's test: p = 0.001, p = 0.008, p = 0.025, and p = 0.049, respectively). We found a significant negative relationship between straightness index and chlorophyll, and positive relationships with ocean depth and SST indicating that animals are spending more time and searching more thoroughly in areas with high chlorophyll concentrations and in areas that are shallower, while moving in straight paths through very warm areas. We also found a positive relationship between straightness index and the circular standard deviation of surrounding geostrophic currents suggesting that these turtles are more likely to move in a straight line when in the presence of diffuse, less-powerful currents. Based on these relationships, we propose that conservation planning to reduce overlap of turtles with fishing operations should take into account the locations of bathymetric features such as seamounts and upwelling locations where chlorophyll concentrations are high. This analysis is an effective way to characterize areas of high-use habitat for satellite-tagged marine vertebrates, and allows for comparisons of these characteristics between species and among individuals.

AB We studied the foraging behavior and marine habitats used by Laysan (Phoebastria immutabilis) and Black-footed (Phoebastria nigripes) Albatrosses, during four consecutive breeding seasons to investigate whether these marine predators changed habitat preferences, foraging distributions, or both, in accordance with natural interannual variability in the marine environment. We used satellite telemetry to track a total of 37 Laysan and 36 Black-footed Albatrosses during the incubation periods of 2002-2006 at Tern Island, Northwest Hawaiian Islands. First passage time analysis was used to determine search effort of individual albatrosses along their respective tracks, and this metric was then related to oceanographic habitat variables using linear mixed-effects regression. The majority of individuals traveled to pelagic waters of the North Pacific, with Laysan Albatrosses demonstrating a more northwesterly distribution from the breeding colony. Laysan Albatrosses traveled farther, for longer periods, and demonstrated greater interannual variability in trip characteristics than Black-footed Albatrosses. For Laysan Albatrosses, maximum trip distance was negatively correlated with body mass change during foraging and overall breeding success. There was considerable interspecific segregation of foraging habitats, and low overlap of foraging distributions between years. For all years, and both species, sea surface temperature was consistently the most important environmental variable predicting search effort of albatrosses, suggesting that both species use similar environmental cues when searching for prey. In the context of climate variability, our results suggest that Hawaiian albatrosses demonstrate flexibility in foraging strategies and track preferred marine habitats. However, adjusting foraging behavior to climatic variability may have energetic, and subsequent reproductive consequences. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB A Meiyu front accompanied by a band of heavy precipitation in East Asia is typically characterized by a much larger moisture gradient than temperature gradient. Many previous studies have suggested use of equivalent potential temperature as a thermodynamic variable under this circumstance. However, dynamic variables coupled with such a thermodynamic variable, e.g. a derived moist potential vorticity (MPV) based on equivalent potential temperature, does not provide useful dynamic insight into these systems. In this study, generalized moist potential vorticity (GMPV) is derived based on a generalized form of potential temperature. Diagnoses of numerical simulations for three typical Meiyu rainfall events show that GMPV provides remarkably accurate tracking of rainfall location, suggesting its potential use as a dynamic tracer for heavy rainfall events such as Meiyu rain bands.

AB The Chesapeake Bay is one of the world's largest estuaries. Dramatic declines in the abundance and distribution of submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) in the Chesapeake Bay over the last few decades led to a series of management decisions aimed at protecting and restoring SAV populations throughout the bay. In 2003, the Chesapeake Bay Program established a goal of planting 405 ha of SAV by 2008. Realizing that such an ambitious goal would require the development of large-scale approaches to SAV restoration, a comprehensive research effort was organized, involving federal and state agencies, academia, and the private sector. This effort differs from most other SAV restoration programs due to a strong emphasis on the use of seeds rather than plants as planting stock, a decision based on the relatively low labor requirements of seeding. Much of the research has focused on the development of tools and techniques for using seeds in large-scale SAV restoration. Since this research initiative began, an average of 13.4 ha/year of SAV has been planted in the Chesapeake Bay, compared to an average rate of 3.6 ha/year during the previous 21 years (1983-2003). The costs of conducting these plantings are on a downward trend as the understanding of the limiting factors increases and as new advances are made in applied research and technology development. Although this effort was focused in the Chesapeake Bay region, the tools and techniques developed as part of this research should be widely applicable to SAV restoration efforts in other areas.

ID THIN-FILMS; AB-PLANE; DEPENDENCE
AB A large, magnetic-field-dependent, reversible reduction in critical current density with axial strain in YBa2Cu3O7-delta coated conductors at 75.9 K has been measured. This effect may have important implications for the performance of YBa2Cu3O7-delta coated conductors in applications where the conductor experiences large stresses in the presence of a magnetic field. Previous studies have been performed only under tensile strain and could provide only a limited understanding of the in-field strain effect. We now have constructed a device for measuring the critical current density as a function of axial compressive and tensile strain and applied magnetic field as well as magnetic field angle, in order to determine the magnitude of this effect and to create a better understanding of its origin. The reversible reduction in critical current density with strain becomes larger with increasing magnetic field at all field angles. At 76 K the critical current density is reduced by about 30% at -0.5% strain when a magnetic field of 5 T is applied parallel to the c-axis of the conductor or 8 T is applied in the ab-plane, compared to a reduction of only 13% in self-field. Differences in the strain response of the critical current density at various magnetic field angles indicate that the pinning mechanisms in YBa2Cu3O7-delta coated conductors are uniquely affected by strain.

AB Regional aerosol concentrations are governed by an evolving balance between aerosol sources and sinks. Here, a simple technique is described for making estimates of the extent to which seasonal aerosol variability is controlled by wet scavenging rather than the efficiency of transport from pollution source regions. Carbon monoxide (CO) is employed as an assumed passive tracer of pollution transport efficiency, to which the magnitude of aerosol light scattering is compared. Because aerosols. unlike CO. are affected by wet scavenging as well as transport efficiency, the ratio of short-term perturbations in these two quantities provides a measure of the relative roles of these two processes. This technique is applied to surface measurements in the Arctic at Barrow, Alaska (71 degrees N) for the decade between 2000 and 2009. What is found is that a well-known seasonal cycle in 'Arctic Haze' is dominated by variability in wet scavenging. Crossing the freezing threshold for warm rain production appears particularly critical for efficiently cleaning the air.

DT Review
DE domoic acid; harmful algal bloom; dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT);
sea lion; epilepsy
AB Domoic acid of macroalgal origin was used for traditional and medicinal purposes in Japan and largely forgotten until its rediscovery in diatoms that poisoned 107 people after consumption of contaminated mussels. The more severely poisoned victims had seizures and/or amnesia and four died; however, one survivor unexpectedly developed temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) a year after the event. Nearly a decade later, several thousand sea lions have stranded on California beaches with neurological symptoms. Analysis of the animals stranded over an eight year period indicated five clusters of acute neurological poisoning; however, nearly a quarter have stranded individually outside these events with clinical signs of a chronic neurological syndrome similar to TLE. These poisonings are not limited to sea lions, which serve as readily observed sentinels for other marine animals that strand during domoic acid poisoning events, including several species of dolphin and whales. Acute domoic acid poisoning is five-times more prominent in adult female sea lions as a result of the proximity of their year-round breeding grounds to major domoic acid bloom events. The chronic neurological syndrome, on the other hand, is more prevalent in young animals, with many potentially poisoned in utero. The sea lion rookeries of the Channel Islands are at the crossroads of domoic acid producing harmful algal blooms and a huge industrial discharge site for dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDTs). Studies in experimental animals suggest that chronic poisoning observed in immature sea lions may result from a spatial and temporal coincidence of DDTs and domoic acid during early life stages. Emergence of an epilepsy syndrome from the ocean brings a human epilepsy model to life and provides unexpected insights into interaction with legacy contaminants and expression of disease at different life stages.

AB It is well known that salmon home to their natal rivers for spawning, but the spatial scale of homing within a river basin is poorly understood and the interaction between natal site fidelity and habitat-based spawning site selection has not been elucidated. Understanding the complex trade-offs among homing to the natal site, spawning site selection, competition for sites, and mate choice is especially important in the context of hatchery supplementation efforts to reestablish self-sustaining natural spawning populations. To address these questions, we examined the homing patterns of supplemented Yakima River spring Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha released from satellite acclimation facilities after common initial rearing at a central facility. Final spawning location depended strongly on where fish were released as smolts within the upper Yakima River basin, but many fish also spawned in the vicinity of the central rearing hatchery, suggesting that some fish imprinted to this site. While homing was clearly evident, the majority (55.1%) of the hatchery fish were recovered more than 25 km from their release sites, often in spawning areas used by wild conspecifics. Hatchery and wild fish displayed remarkably similar spawning distributions despite very different imprinting histories, and the highest spawning densities of both hatchery and wild fish occurred in the same river sections. These results suggest that genetics, environmental and social factors, or requirements for specific spawning habitat may ultimately override the instinct to home to the site of rearing or release.

AB We report stock composition estimates for immature (ocean-age .1 and .2) sockeye salmon Oncorhynchus nerka distributed across the Bering Sea in late summer and fall. We establish a baseline data set composed of single-nucleotide polymorphism markers that can achieve very high accuracies in identifying sockeye salmon stocks from throughout their range in Asia and North America. We demonstrate the capabilities of this data set to address high-seas salmon issues by analyzing samples collected by researchers from Russia, Japan, and the United States during late summer and fall 2002-2004 as part of the Bering Aleutian Salmon International Survey. According to our findings, (1) Gulf of Alaska (GOA) stocks formed a significant portion of the immature sockeye salmon migrating in the eastern and central Bering Sea in summer and fall, and western GOA stocks had a broader distribution in the Bering Sea than eastern GOA stocks; (2) Asian stocks migrated as far east as the western Aleutian Islands and the Donut Hole area (international waters in the center of the Bering Sea); and (3) Bristol Bay stocks were the most widely distributed, accounting for more than one-half of the mixtures in all areas except the central and southern areas of the Russian Exclusive Economic Zone (REEZ) in the western Bering Sea and north of the western Aleutian Islands. These results provide a significant increase in our knowledge of the distribution of sockeye salmon, firmly establishing that the REEZ is a summer-fall feeding area for immature North American sockeye salmon, particularly stocks of southeastern Bristol Bay origin. Bristol Bay sockeye salmon appear to enter and exit the REEZ primarily along a migration route that extends across the Aleutian Basin.

AB The objective of this study was to evaluate a newly miniaturized prototype of an implantable acoustic tag for use in subyearling hatchery Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha. In 2003, when the study was conducted, the relatively large size of most acoustic tags limited their use in juvenile fish. We evaluated this miniaturized prototype tag (213736 mm, 0.9 g in air) for effects on growth, survival, and tag retention. All fish were passive integrated transponder (PIT) tagged in accordance with the proposed practical application in which PIT-tagged fish from known sources were separated from the general migrating population. The PIT tags also permitted tracking of individual fish growth in relation to treatment. We compared growth and acoustic tag retention over 30 d among tagged, sham-tagged, and control fish. Ratio of tag weight to body weight ranged from 2.6% to 5.9% at tagging. The acoustic tag significantly affected growth (P=0.001 for both length and weight differences), but no fish died as a result of the tagging. Partial to complete tag expulsion was noted in 37% of the tagged fish after 30 d. Our study showed that impeded growth and tag expulsion may affect the successful use of this tag size in juvenile Chinook salmon. This evaluation led to physical tag modifications that improved biological acceptance by the fish, thus facilitating the tag's use in applied studies. Implanted devices should be evaluated before use to ensure compatibility and to avoid data misinterpretations due to their effects on the fish.

AB Degraded wetland systems with impaired hydraulic connections have resulted in diminished habitat opportunity for salmonid fishes and other native flora and fauna in the Pacific Northwest. Many of these lost habitats were once intertidal freshwater marshes and swamps. Restoration of these systems is effected in part by reestablishing tidal processes that promote connectivity, with a central goal of restoring rearing habitat for juvenile Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus spp. In the Grays River tidal freshwater system of Washington, we measured hydrologic changes that resulted from the removal of tide gates from diked pastureland and we determined the subsequent time series of salmonid abundance and size frequency in the restoring marshes. Dike breaching caused an immediate return of full semidiurnal tidal fluctuations to the pasturelands. Juvenile Pacific salmonids quickly expanded into this newly available habitat and used prey items that were presumably produced within the marshes. Habitat use varied by species and life history stage. Fry of chum salmon O. keta migrated rapidly through the system, whereas populations of Chinook salmon O. tshawytscha and coho salmon O. kisutch resided from March to at least July and were composed of fry, fingerlings, and (for coho salmon) yearlings. Based on salmon size at date and the timing of hatchery releases, we concluded that most salmon sampled in restored and reference sites were the progeny of natural spawners. However, the presence of adipose-fin-clipped Chinook salmon indicated that hatchery-raised fish originating outside the Grays River system also used the restoring wetland habitat. Because of extensive mixing of stocks through hatchery practices, genetic analyses did not provide additional insight into the origins of the Chinook salmon but did reveal that out-migrating juveniles were an admixed population composed of lower Columbia River ancestry and nonindigenous Rogue River stock. Restoration of tidal wetlands in the Columbia River estuary will improve overall ecosystem connectivity and reduce habitat fragmentation and may therefore increase survival of a variety of Pacific salmon stocks during migration.

AB The use of enterococci as the primary fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) for the determination of recreational water safety has been questioned, particularly in sub/tropical marine waters without known point sources of sewage. Alternative FIB (such as the Bacteroidales group) and alternative measurement methods (such as rapid molecular testing) have been proposed to supplement or replace current marine water quality testing methods which require culturing enterococci. Moreover, environmental parameters have also been proposed to supplement current monitoring programs. The objective of this study was to evaluate the health risks to humans from exposure to subtropical recreational marine waters with no known point source. The study reported symptoms between one set of human subjects randomly assigned to marine water exposure with intensive environmental monitoring compared with other subjects who did not have exposure. In addition, illness outcomes among the exposed bathers were compared to levels of traditional and alternative FIB (as measured by culture-based and molecular-based methods), and compared to easily measured environmental parameters. Results demonstrated an increase in self-reported gastrointestinal, respiratory and skin illnesses among bathers vs. non-bathers. Among the bathers, a dose response relationship by logistic regression modeling was observed for skin illness, where illness was positively related to enterococci enumeration by membrane filtration (odds ratio = 1.46 [95% confidence interval = 0.97-2.21] per increasing log10 unit of enterococci exposure) and positively related to 24 h antecedent rain fall (1.04 [1.01-1.07] per increasing millimeters of rain). Acute febrile respiratory illness was inversely related to water temperature (0.74 [0.56-0.98] per increasing degree of water temperature). There were no significant dose response relationships between report of human illness and any of the other FIB or environmental measures. Therefore, for non-point source subtropical recreational marine waters, this study suggests that humans may be at increased risk of reported illness, and that the currently recommended and investigational FIB may not track gastrointestinal illness under these conditions; the relationship between other human illness and environmental measures is less clear.

TI Early Responses to Climate Change: An Analysis of Seven US State and
Local Climate Adaptation Planning Initiatives
SO WEATHER CLIMATE AND SOCIETY
LA English
DT Article
AB State and local governments in the United States manage a wide array of natural and human resources that are particularly sensitive to climate variability and change. Recent revelations of the extent of the current and potential climate impact in this realm such as with the quality of water, the structure of the coasts, and the potential and witnessed impact on the built infrastructure give these political authorities impetus to minimize their vulnerability and plan for the future. In fact, a growing number of subnational government bodies in the United States have initiated climate adaptation planning efforts; these initiatives emphasize an array of climate impacts, but at different scales, scopes, and levels of sophistication. Meanwhile, the current body of climate adaptation literature has not taken a comprehensive look at these plans nor have they questioned what prompts local adaptation planning, at what scope and scale action is being taken, or what prioritizes certain policy responses over others. This paper presents a case-based analysis of seven urban climate adaptation planning initiatives, drawing from a review of publicly available planning documents and interviews with stakeholders directly involved in the planning process to provide a preliminary understanding of these issues. The paper also offers insight into the state of implementation of adaptation strategies, highlighting the role of low upfront costs and cobenefits with issues already on the local agenda in prompting anticipatory adaptation.

TI Decision Making by Austin, Texas, Residents in Hypothetical Tornado
Scenarios
SO WEATHER CLIMATE AND SOCIETY
LA English
DT Article
AB One of the goals of the Warning Project is to understand how people receive warnings of hazardous weather and subsequently use this information to make decisions. As part of the project, 519 surveys from Austin, Texas, floodplain residents were collected and analyzed. About 90% of respondents understood that a tornado warning represented a more serious and more likely threat than a tornado watch. Most respondents (86%) were not concerned about a limited number of false alarms or close calls reducing their confidence in future warnings, suggesting no cry-wolf effect. Most respondents reported safe decisions in two hypothetical scenarios: a tornado warning issued while the respondent was home and a tornado visible by the respondent while driving. However, nearly half the respondents indicated that they would seek shelter from a tornado under a highway overpass if they were driving. Despite the limitations of this study, these results suggest that more education is needed on the dangers of highway overpasses as shelter from severe weather.

AB Year-round coastal upwelling is a prevalent phenomenon in the southwestern Caribbean region, driven by northeast trade winds. This pattern can be disrupted during the boreal winter-to-spring transition by event-scale departures in the pressure systems, characterized by a change in wind direction to northward, with the accompanying relaxation of coastal upwelling. To study these poorly understood events, regional atmospheric and data-assimilative ocean modeling experiments were carried out for the period 4 March to 9 April 2003 and compared to shipboard observations This combined ocean-atmosphere approach allowed us to study the evolution of a 3-day atmospheric disturbance affecting ocean currents and collapsing the upwelling pattern against the Colombian coast along the Guajira Peninsula near 12 degrees N. The southward extension of the coastal upwelling, which normally reaches 10.5 degrees N, was blocked by the warmer and slightly lower salinity waters of the cyclonic Panama-Colombia gyre. Under typical conditions, the ocean model and shipboard observations of temperature and salinity profiles were in good agreement with each other, both at coastal and oceanic stations. The presence of a low-level westward wind jet was manifested in the atmospheric model simulation, confirming that it promotes the Guajira upwelling system; however, the jet vanishes under disturbed atmospheric conditions.

AB Crowder molecules in solution alter the equilibrium between folded and unfolded states of biological macromolecules. It is therefore critical to account for the influence of these other molecules when describing the folding of RNA inside the cell. Small angle X-ray scattering experiments are reported on a 64 kDa bacterial group I ribozyme in the presence of polyethylene-glycol 1000 (PEG-1000), a molecular crowder with an average molecular weight of 1000 Da. In agreement with expected excluded volume effects, PEG favors more compact RNA structures. First, the transition from the unfolded to the folded (more compact) state occurs at lower MgCl(2) concentrations in PEG. Second, the radius of gyration of the unfolded RNA decreases from 76 to 64 angstrom as the PEG concentration increases from 0 to 20% wt/vol. Changes to water and ion activities were measured experimentally, and theoretical models were used to evaluate the excluded volume. We conclude that the dominant influence of the PEG crowder on the folding process is the excluded volume effect.

AB We showed that a chain of nanomagnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) devices can be electrically addressed individually, in situ, in a transmission electron microscope, such that transport properties can be in principle, quantitatively correlated with each device's defects and microstructure. A unique energy barrier was obtained for each device measured. Additionally, in situ tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) measurements were obtained for a subset of devices. We found that TMR values for our nano-MTJs were generally smaller than TMR in the unpatterned film. (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3446841]

SO NEW JOURNAL OF PHYSICS

DT Article
ID RELAXATION; ATOMS; FIELD; SPINS
AB Microwave double resonances were measured in a wall-coated Rb vapor cell as a function of additional buffer-gas pressure. These data were compared with similar measurements in an uncoated cell. It was found that the linewidth in the coated spherical cell of diameter 1.6 cm displays a distinct maximum around 0.2 kPa. This agrees well with theoretical solutions of the diffusion equation, assuming a complex reflection coefficient at the wall. It was also found that at intermediate pressures the lineshapes of the microwave resonances become asymmetric with a low-frequency tail. This agrees with the explanation that where the alkali mean free path is substantially smaller than the average distance between wall collisions at zero pressure, there exist two classes of atoms in the cell. The atoms that get trapped near the walls accumulate much larger phase shifts than those toward the center of the cell. This effect is not seen in the longitudinal relaxation rate, indicating that it is related to a phase-shift effect.

Ca(Fe1-xCox)(2)P-2 display an anomalous, non-Vegard's law a-axis variation. A monotonically increasing interlayer P-P bond strength is found on progressing from Fe to Co to Ni in the 3d series. Both CaFe2P2 and CaNi2P2 evolve from Pauli paramagnetic to antiferromagnetic (CaCo2P2) with Co doping but the magnetic properties of the solid solutions are distinctly different. Ca(Ni1-xCox)(2)P-2 shows more localized-electron behavior, associated with more complicated magnetic phase transitions.

AB While high-degree models of the Earth's gravity potential have been inferred from measurements for more than a decade, corresponding geomagnetic models are difficult to produce. The primary challenge lies in the estimation of the magnetic potential, which is not completely determined by available field intensity measurements and cannot be computed by direct integration. Described here is the methodology behind the third generation of the National Geophysical Data Center's degree 720 magnetic model. Key issues are (1) the ellipsoidal harmonic representation of the magnetic potential, (2) the reduction of ambiguities by a suitable penalty function, and (3) the use of an iterative method to estimate the model coefficients. The NGDC-720 model provides the lithospheric magnetic field vector at any desired location and altitude close to and above the Earth's surface. Anticipated uses are in geological and tectonic studies of the lithosphere, as a local correction for magnetic navigation and heading systems, and the calibration of ground, marine, airborne, and spaceborne magnetometers. The NGDC-720 model is available at http://geomag.org/models/ngdc720.html and for long-term archive at http://earthref.org/cgi-bin/er.cgi?s=erda.cgi?n=989.

AB A full-length accumulative photonic crystal fiber (PCF) that is surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-active is achieved by immobilizing Ag nanoparticles inside the air channels of solid-core and hollow-core PCFs using a polyelectrolyte-mediated process. Raman gain in PCFs prevails with coverage density below 0.5 nanoparticle mu m(-2). Light attenuation dominates, however, at a higher density. Controlled coverage density and uniformity of nanoparticles is the key to the exploitation of the length benefit of the PCF platform.

TI Modeling radiation belt radial diffusion in ULF wave fields: 1.
Quantifying ULF wave power at geosynchronous orbit in observations and

DT Article

AB To provide critical ULF wave field information for radial diffusion studies in the radiation belts, we quantify ULF wave power (f = 0.5-8.3 mHz) in GOES observations and magnetic field predictions from a global magnetospheric model. A statistical study of 9 years of GOES data reveals the wave local time distribution and power at geosynchronous orbit in field-aligned coordinates as functions of wave frequency, solar wind conditions (V(x), Delta P(d) and IMF B(z)) and geomagnetic activity levels (Kp, Dst and AE). ULF wave power grows monotonically with increasing solar wind V(x), dynamic pressure variations Delta Pd and geomagnetic indices in a highly correlated way. During intervals of northward and southward IMF B(z), wave activity concentrates on the dayside and nightside sectors, respectively, due to different wave generation mechanisms in primarily open and closed magnetospheric configurations. Since global magnetospheric models have recently been used to trace particles in radiation belt studies, it is important to quantify the wave predictions of these models at frequencies relevant to electron dynamics (mHz range). Using 27 days of real interplanetary conditions as model inputs, we examine the ULF wave predictions modeled by the Lyon-Fedder-Mobarry magnetohydrodynamic code. The LFM code does well at reproducing, in a statistical sense, the ULF waves observed by GOES. This suggests that the LFM code is capable of modeling variability in the magnetosphere on ULF time scales during typical conditions. The code provides a long-missing wave field model needed to quantify the interaction of radiation belt electrons with realistic, global ULF waves throughout the inner magnetosphere.

AB This work presents a methodology for soil wetness monitoring over the Peace Athabasca Delta, PAD, a northern watershed located in the Mackenzie River Basin in North-Western Canada The approach is based on the use of a combination of passive microwave data from AMSR-E instrument, data in the visible wavelengths from MODIS sensor and topographic attributes derived from the SRTM Digital Elevation Model. Classic topography-based wetness indices are static and unable to capture the temporal variability of soil moisture Also, they do not account for vegetation effect on the spatial organisation of soil wetness. We therefore suggest overcoming these limitations by assessing the temporal variability of soil wetness using passive microwave data and introducing vegetation parameters into a new topography-based wetness index (TWI) The proposed approach is an improvement in a dynamic sense over classic topographic indices. It also distinguishes between wetness and open waterbodies contributions to the passive microwave signal. AMSR-E 37 GHz data have been used to regularly assess total soil wetness in the PAD. MODIS images have been used to develop a rating curve relationship between discharge observations and the extent of flooded areas. A basin wetness index (BWI) has been calculated as the difference between total wetness fraction from AMSR-E and inundated surface fraction retrieved from MODIS images. The new topographic wetness index disaggregates BWI values and distinguishes between inundated areas and wet soils responses in the passive microwave signal. Results were compared to those derived from the classic and static index. The proposed index has provided a better estimation of the wetness over the basin with respect to the classic wetness index The correlation coefficients between the disaggregated wetness Index and observed precipitations at Fort Chipewayn A station were 0.7 and 0.69 for 2003 and 2002 respectively. The obtained map of waterbodies in the delta which is the result of the downscaling process agrees well with a Landsat image as the determined probability of detection was equal to 0.7. This implies that a combination of passive microwave data and topographic attributes has an interesting potential to improve the water balance closure over northern basins. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V.

AB We demonstrate a scheme for direct absorption imaging of an ultracold ground-state polar molecular gas near quantum degeneracy. Imaging molecules without closed optical cycling transitions is challenging. Our technique relies on photon-shot-noise-limited absorption imaging on a strong but open bound-bound molecular transition. We present a systematic characterization of this imaging technique. Using this technique combined with time-of-flight expansion, we demonstrate the capability to determine momentum and spatial distributions for the molecular gas. With its capability of imaging molecules in arbitrary external fields, we anticipate that this technique will find many applications in the study of molecular quantum gases.

AB A major puzzle of paleoclimatology is why, after a long interval of cooling climate, each late Quaternary ice age ended with a relatively short warming leg called a termination. We here offer a comprehensive hypothesis of how Earth emerged from the last global ice age. A prerequisite was the growth of very large Northern Hemisphere ice sheets, whose subsequent collapse created stadial conditions that disrupted global patterns of ocean and atmospheric circulation. The Southern Hemisphere westerlies shifted poleward during each northern stadial, producing pulses of ocean upwelling and warming that together accounted for much of the termination in the Southern Ocean and Antarctica. Rising atmospheric CO(2) during southern upwelling pulses augmented warming during the last termination in both polar hemispheres.

Haliclystus californiensis differs from other species within the genus primarily by its horseshoe-shaped anchors, but also by the presence of prominent glandular pads at the base of its outermost secondary tentacles and by geographic range. It has been found from southern to northern California in coastal waters, 10 to 30 m depth. A single specimen of the species was originally described in an unpublished dissertation; nine additional specimens have been found since that time. We provide an annotated key to the known species of Haliclystus.

AB The widespread use of ecological network models (e.g., Ecopath, Econetwrk, and related energy budget models) has been laudable for several reasons, chief of which is providing an easy-to-use set of modeling tools that can present an ecosystem context for improved understanding and management of living marine resources (LMR). Yet the ease-of-use of these models has led to two challenges. First, the veritable explosion of the use and application of these network models has resulted in recognition that the content and use of such models has spanned a range of quality. Second, as these models and their application have become more widespread, they are increasingly being used in a LMR management context. Thus review panels and other evaluators of these models would benefit from a set of rigorous and standard criteria from which the basis for all network models and related applications for any given system (i.e., the initial, static energy budget) can be evaluated. To this end, as one suggestion for improving network models in general, here I propose a series of pre-balance (PREBAL) diagnostics. These PREBAL diagnostics can be done, now, in simple spreadsheets before any balancing or tuning is executed. Examples of these PREBAL diagnostics include biomasses, biomass ratios, vital rates, vital rate ratios, total production, and total removals (and slopes thereof) across the taxa and trophic levels in any given energy budget. I assert that there are some general ecological and fishery principles that can be used in conjunction with PREBAL diagnostics to identify issues of model structure and data quality before balancing and dynamic applications are executed. I humbly present this PREBAL information as a simple yet general approach that could be easily implemented, could be considered for further incorporation into these model packages, and as such would ultimately result in a straightforward way to evaluate (and perhaps identify areas for improving) initial conditions in food web modeling efforts.

AB The lipid bilayer bending modulus, characterized by thermal undulations, is often affected by the presence of membrane active molecules. However, complex interplay between headgroup charges, hydration, and bilayer structural parameters such as bilayer thickness make it difficult to understand the changes in bending modulus. Using neutron spin-echo measurements, the effect of ibuprofen, a model nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, on the bending modulus of phospholipid membranes is studied as a function of pH and temperature. Ibuprofen was found to lower the bending modulus at all pH values. We present molecular insights into the observed effect on membrane dynamics based on molecular dynamics simulations and small-angle neutron scattering based structural perturbations as well as changes in zwitterionic headgroup electrostatics due to pH and addition of ibuprofen.

AB An optimal search theory, the so-called Levy-flight foraging hypothesis(1), predicts that predators should adopt search strategies known as Levy flights where prey is sparse and distributed unpredictably, but that Brownian movement is sufficiently efficient for locating abundant prey(2-4). Empirical studies have generated controversy because the accuracy of statistical methods that have been used to identify Levy behaviour has recently been questioned(5,6). Consequently, whether foragers exhibit Levy flights in the wild remains unclear. Crucially, moreover, it has not been tested whether observed movement patterns across natural landscapes having different expected resource distributions conform to the theory's central predictions. Here we use maximum-likelihood methods to test for Levy patterns in relation to environmental gradients in the largest animal movement data set assembled for this purpose. Strong support was found for Levy search patterns across 14 species of open-ocean predatory fish (sharks, tuna, billfish and ocean sunfish), with some individuals switching between Levy and Brownian movement as they traversed different habitat types. We tested the spatial occurrence of these two principal patterns and found Levy behaviour to be associated with less productive waters (sparser prey) and Brownian movements to be associated with productive shelf or convergence-front habitats (abundant prey). These results are consistent with the Levy-flight foraging hypothesis(1,7), supporting the contention(8,9) that organism search strategies naturally evolved in such a way that they exploit optimal Levy patterns.

AB The ability to force immiscible polymers into specific, targeted structures would enable the generation of blends with tailored performance by exploiting the intimate relationship between structure and blend properties. Here we present a strategy for the forced assembly of immiscible polymers into targeted structures via development of a planar polymer micro-mixer (PPMM). The PPMM drives streams of molten polymer through mixing chambers, which are fabricated from metal shims that contain flow channels. By stacking the shims, complex 3D mixing flows can be generated. The advantages of this mixing technology include sample sizes significantly less than traditional micro-mixers (<100 mg), simple reconfiguration of the flow geometry, and optical access to the flow. Most significantly, it offers a path towards targeted blend structures rather than the more typical domain/matrix or random co-continuous ones. We observe the creation of multi-layers and coaxial cylinders in the first five mixing units, beyond that that interfacial tension and non-ideal flow tends to force the creation of mixed domain/matrix structures. The PPMM, along with the recently developed multi-sample micro-slit rheometer, is expected to be a key component of the "polymer processing lab-on-a-chip". Published by Elsevier Ltd.

AB A principle shared by both economists and ecologists is that a diversified portfolio spreads risk, but this idea has little empirical support in the field of population biology. We found that population growth rates (recruits per spawner) and life-history diversity as measured by variation in freshwater and ocean residency were negatively correlated across short time periods (one to two generations), but positively correlated at longer time periods, in nine Bristol Bay sockeye salmon populations. Further, the relationship between variation in growth rate and life-history diversity was consistently negative. These findings strongly suggest that life-history diversity can both increase production and buffer population fluctuations, particularly over long time periods. Our findings provide new insights into the importance of biocomplexity beyond spatio-temporal aspects of populations, and suggest that maintaining diverse life-history portfolios of populations may be crucial for their resilience to unfavourable conditions like habitat loss and climate change.

AB Lightning charge transport is analyzed for a thunderstorm which occurred on 18 August 2004 near Langmuir Laboratory in New Mexico. The analysis employs wide band measurements of the electric field by a balloon -borne electric field sonde or Esonde, simultaneous Lightning Mapping Array measurements of VHF pulses emitted during lightning breakdown, and Next Generation Weather Radar data. The thunderstorm was composed of two principal updrafts. In the stronger updraft the positively charged particles reached altitudes up to 14 km, and in the weaker updraft the positive particles reached 11 km altitude. The negatively charged particles generated in the updraft appeared to reach altitudes up to 10 km in the strong updraft and 8 km in the weaker updraft. Just outside the updrafts the positive and negative particles drop sharply; thereafter, they drop down at a nearly linear rate, between 1 and 2 km in altitude per 10 km in horizontal distance. Initially, as the updraft developed, most charge was transported by updraft flashes; later, after about 15 to 20 min, extensive flashes were predominant. Most cloud-to-ground (CG) flashes transported negative charge from outside the updraft at 6 km altitude down to ground; however, some strokes of a CG reached into a higher negative charge region closer to the updraft. Nearly 6 times as much charge was transported by intracloud (IC) flashes when compared to CG flashes. The ratio of the average charge transport for an IC flash to the average charge transport for a CG flash was 1.6, while the average generator current associated with the combined updrafts was 2.3 amperes for 40 min.

AB Magnetic susceptibility, x-ray diffraction, neutron diffraction and Raman scattering measurements are employed to study the effects of La substitution on the magnetic properties of multiferroic HoMn2O5. 9% and 18% La-substituted compounds crystallize into the same orthorhombic Pbam symmetry as the parent compound. The magnetic responses to an ac driving magnetic field between 40 and 140 K are greatly enhanced by 18% La substitution. The neutron magnetic diffraction patterns reveal the development of short range magnetic correlations below 140 K. In addition, two Raman peaks and a series of new x-ray diffraction peaks suddenly develop below this temperature. Incommensurate long range antiferromagnetic order appears below 38 K. Magnetic frustration could be the main mechanism governing the present observations.

AB The absorption of resorcinol di(phenyl phosphate) (RDP) oligomers on clay surfaces has been studied in detail and is being proposed as an alternative method for producing functionalized clays for nanocomposite polymers. The ability of these clays to be exfoliated or intercalated in different homopolymers was investigated using both transmission electron microscopy and small-angle X-ray scattering results, compared with contact angle measurements on Lanumuir-Blodgett clay monolayers, where the interfacial energies were used as predictors of the polymer/clay interactions. We found that the contact angle between PS/RDP clay monolayer substrates was similar to 2.5 degrees, whereas the angle for polystyrene (PS)/Cloisite 20A clays substrates was similar to 32 degrees, consistent with the large degree of exfoliation observed in PS for the RDP-coated clays. The interfacial activity of these clays was also measured, and we found that the RDP-coated clays segregated to the interfaces of PC/poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile) blends, while they segregated into the poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) domain of PS/PMMA blends. This morphology was explained in terms of the relative energy advantage in placing the RDP versus the Cloisite clays at the interfaces. Finally, we demonstrated the effects of the relative surface energies of the clays in segregating to the blend air interface when heated to high temperatures. The segregation was shown to affect the composition and mechanical properties of the resulting chars, which in turn could determine their flame retardant response.

AB Fabrication of highly ordered superstructures of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) is of great interest for a wide ranee of potential applications. Here, we investigate the selective distribution of individually isolated SWNTs (1D nanoparticles with very large aspect ratios) in Plutonic P84/water/p-xylene ternary systems in a lamellar phase by contrast variation small-angle neutron scattering measurements. Hydrophilically functionalized SWNTs (p-SWNTs) with an aspect ratio of ca. 100 are mixed with P84/water/p-xylene systems prepared with two opposite neutron contrasts, a positive contrast for which the neutron scattering length density of the apolar domain is higher than that of the polar domain and a negative contrast for which the relative scattering length density is opposite. The neutron scattering intensity of the first-order Bragg peak, after correcting for the effect of p-SWNT-induced diffuse interface, increases with addition of p-SWNTs in the positive contrast samples and decreases in the negative contrast samples. This shows that p-SWNTs, of which the length is ca. 70 times larger than the thickness of polar domain while its diameter is comparable to the polar domain thickness, are selectively distributed in the polar domains of the P84/water/p-xylene lamellar phase.

ID PHYSICS; GASES
AB We analyze a technique for the preparation of low-entropy many-body states of atoms in optical lattices based on adiabatic passage. In particular, we show that this method allows preparation of strongly correlated states as stable highest energy states of Hamiltonians that have trivial ground states. As an example, we analyze the generation of antiferromagnetically ordered states by adiabatic change of a staggered field acting on the spins of bosonic atoms with ferromagnetic interactions.

AB Knowledge of cloud and precipitation formation processes remains incomplete, yet global precipitation is predominantly produced by clouds containing the ice phase. Ice first forms in clouds warmer than -36 degrees C on particles termed ice nuclei. We combine observations from field studies over a 14-year period, from a variety of locations around the globe, to show that the concentrations of ice nuclei active in mixed-phase cloud conditions can be related to temperature and the number concentrations of particles larger than 0.5 mu m in diameter. This new relationship reduces unexplained variability in ice nuclei concentrations at a given temperature from similar to 10(3) to less than a factor of 10, with the remaining variability apparently due to variations in aerosol chemical composition or other factors. When implemented in a global climate model, the new parameterization strongly alters cloud liquid and ice water distributions compared to the simple, temperature-only parameterizations currently widely used. The revised treatment indicates a global net cloud radiative forcing increase of similar to 1 W m(-2) for each order of magnitude increase in ice nuclei concentrations, demonstrating the strong sensitivity of climate simulations to assumptions regarding the initiation of cloud glaciation.

AB Vortex oscillations induced by dc currents (I(dc)) through a metallic nanocontact subject to in-plane magnetic fields (H(ext)) are studied by measuring voltage power spectra. Two oscillations modes exist: at large I(dc) the oscillation frequency (f(osc)) is substantially insensitive to H(ext), whereas at low I(dc), f(osc) decreases with H(ext) increasing. At intermediate I(dc) the two modes coexist. This behavior is ascribed to the magnetic states of the device ferromagnetic layers: in the first mode vortices are formed in both layers while in the second mode one layer is in a vortex state while the other is in a quasiuniform state.

AB One dimensional nanobeam photonic crystal cavities are fabricated in an Er-doped amorphous silicon nitride layer. Photoluminescence from the cavities around 1.54 mu m is studied at cryogenic and room temperatures at different optical pump powers. The resonators demonstrate Purcell enhanced absorption and emission rates, also confirmed by time resolved measurements. Resonances exhibit linewidth narrowing with pump power, signifying absorption bleaching and the onset of stimulated emission in the material at both 5.5 K and room temperature. We estimate from the cavity linewidths that Er has been pumped to transparency at the cavity resonance wavelength. (C) 2010 Optical Society of America

AB Aerosol samples were collected in the North Atlantic Ocean during June-August, 2003. Aerosols were divided into nine size fractions ranging from >18 mu m to <0.056 mu m. Total element concentrations were measured by energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence to determine the size distribution of biogeochemically important elements. The solubility of Fe and other elements was measured in ultrapure deionized water to investigate the relationship between particle size and aerosol solubility. We found that the majority of soluble aerosol Fe was on particles of >= 1 mu m aerodynamic diameter. Aerosol Fe solubility was somewhat variable but in general, aerosol Fe solubility did not increase with decreasing particle size. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB Aerosol and precipitation sampling as part of the 2003 Climate Variability and Predictability (CLIVAR)-CO2 Repeat Hydrography trace element sampling program has produced an aerosol chemistry dataset for a region of the central Atlantic Ocean between 65 degrees N and 5 degrees S. This dataset includes analyses of aerosol particle chemistry as well as Fe and Al solubility (measured using a rapid, flow-through leaching technique). Several factors thought to influence aerosol Fe solubility including chemical weathering and aerosol source are evaluated as well. Air mass back-trajectories were used to characterize the atmospheric regime of each aerosol sample. Aerosol concentrations varied greatly with the highest concentrations observed between 23 degrees N and 8.7 degrees N. Aerosol Fe solubility was 9% +/- 5% in seawater and 15% +/- 8% in ultrapure deionized water. The concentration of soluble aerosol Fe in seawater was estimated with reasonable accuracy from the concentration of soluble aerosol Fe in deionized water by the relationship logFe(SW) = (0.85 +/- 0.039) logFe(DI) + log (1 +/- 1.2), (r(2) = 0.93).

ASSIMILATION
AB The Community Radiative Transfer Model (CRTM) is a powerful numerical software used for satellite data assimilation and remote sensing applications. Its accuracies in simulating satellite radiances and their gradients relative to water vapor (or Jacobians) are improved through this study when the CRTM includes additional gaseous absorbers. Three water vapor transmittance regression methods (labeled with A-C, respectively) are discussed that differ primarily in vertical coordinates and the application of constraints to smooth vertical structures of the regression coefficients. Method A computes optical depth profiles at fixed pressure levels, whereas method B computes the profiles at fixed levels of the integrated absorber amount. Method C is a derived version of method B with an addition that a polynomial function is applied to the regression coefficients to improve the water vapor Jacobians. The intercomparison focuses on the modeling of 22 sounding channels routinely used at numerical weather prediction (NWP) centers: 9 Atmospheric Infrared Radiance Sounder channels, 4 High-Resolution Infrared Sounder channels, 4 Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-A channels, and 5 Microwave Humidity Sounder channels. An ensemble of 48 diverse atmosphere profiles at the University of Maryland at Baltimore County was used to test the results. The results were compiled for methods A and C for water vapor line absorption only while keeping the other components the same under the CRTM framework. The comparison quantities include the water vapor Jacobians, temperature Jacobians, and the forward top-of-the-atmosphere brightness temperature (BT). In the infrared, the forward models mean errors are very small (less than 0.03 K) compared to the line-by-line model. Temperature and water vapor Jacobian goodness-of-fit measure values are very small and sufficient for NWP application, except for some dry atmospheric profiles. For the cold and dry atmospheric profiles, method C can significantly improve the water vapor Jacobian profile and remove the unphysical kinks (oscillations) that appear in method A. The improved water vapor Jacobian profile results in the improved temperature Jacobian. For the microwave channels, the forward BTs show very small biases less than 0.1 K for all the channels, and the overall water vapor Jacobian using method A is better than those using method C, especially for warm and wet atmospheric profiles.

AB Land surface waters play a primary role in the global water cycle and climate. As a consequence, there is a widespread demand for accurate and long-term quantitative observations of their distribution over the whole globe. This study presents the first global data set that quantifies the monthly distribution of surface water extent at similar to 25 km sampling intervals over 12 years (1993-2004). These estimates, generated from complementary multiple-satellite observations, including passive (Special Sensor Microwave Imager) and active (ERS scatterometer) microwaves along with visible and near-infrared imagery (advanced very high-resolution radiometer; AVHRR), were first developed over 1993-2000. The ERS encountered technical problems in 2001 and the processing scheme had to be adapted to extend the time series. Here we investigate and discuss the adjustments of the methodology, compare the various options, and show that the data set can be extended with good confidence beyond 2000, using ERS and AVHRR mean monthly climatologies. In addition to a large seasonal and interannual variability, the new results show a slight overall decrease in global inundated area between 1993 and 2004, representing an similar to 5.7% reduction of the mean annual maximum in 12 years. The decrease is mainly observed in the tropics during the 1990s. Over inland water bodies and large river basins, we assess the variability of the surface water extent against related variables such as in situ river discharges, altimeter-derived and in situ river/floodplain water level heights, and precipitation estimates. This new 12 year data set of global surface water extent represents an unprecedented source of information for future hydrological or methane modeling.

AB Biomarkers of oxidatively induced DNA damage are of great interest and can potentially be used for the early detection of disease, monitoring the progression of disease and determining the efficacy of therapy. The present work deals with the measurement in human urine of (5'R)-8,5'-cyclo-2'-deoxyadenosine (R-cdA) and (5'S)-8,5'-cyclo-2'-deoxyadenosine (S-cdA). These modified nucleosides had hitherto not been considered or investigated to be present in urine as possible biomarkers of oxidatively induced DNA damage. Urine samples were collected from volunteers, purified and analyzed by LC-MS/MS with isotope-dilution. R-cdA and S-cdA were detected in urine and quantified. Creatinine levels were also measured. In addition, we measured 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine that is commonly used as a biomarker. This study shows, for the first time, that R-cdA and S-cdA exist in human urine and can be identified and quantified by LC-MS/MS. We propose that R-cdA and S-cdA may be well-suited biomarkers for disease processes such as carcinogenesis. (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

AB From 1950 to 2008, the linear trend of tropical sea surface temperature (SST) indicates the largest warming across the Indian and western Pacific Oceans, while the eastern Pacific trend is slightly negative. The interannual SST variations due to the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) are superimposed onto these longer-term SST trends, which can potentially influence the structure and amplitude of the resulting atmospheric teleconnections. In this study, the cold phase of ENSO, or La Nina, is examined using composite differences based on the observations and the model-simulated response to SSTs. The analyses show that during the recent period (1980-2008), the global teleconnection pattern associated with La Nina has been associated with higher heights from the tropics to the mid-latitudes. The model simulations attribute these apparent changes in the teleconnections, across the tropics and the Northern Hemisphere, to warmer SSTs in the Indian Ocean and warm pool region. The implications of these results are discussed within the context of seasonal predictions in an evolving climate. Citation: Kumar, A., B. Jha, and M.

AB Volcanic eruptions release a large amount of sulphur dioxide (SO2) into the atmosphere(1,2). SO2 is oxidized to sulphate and can subsequently form sulphate aerosol(3), which can affect the Earth's radiation balance, biologic productivity and high-altitude ozone concentrations, as is evident from recent volcanic eruptions(4). SO2 oxidation can occur via several different pathways that depend on its flux and the atmospheric conditions(3). An investigation into how SO2 is oxidized to sulphate-the oxidation product preserved in the rock record-can therefore shed light on past volcanic eruptions and atmospheric conditions. Here we use sulphur and triple oxygen isotope measurements of atmospheric sulphate extracted from tuffaceous deposits to investigate the specific oxidation pathways from which the sulphate was formed. We find that seven eruption-related sulphate aerosol deposition events have occurred during the mid-Cenozoic era (34 to 7 million years ago) in the northern High Plains, North America. Two extensively sampled ash beds display a similar sulphate mixing pattern that has two distinct atmospheric secondary sulphates. A three-dimensional atmospheric sulphur chemistry and transport model study reveals that the observed, isotopically discrete sulphates in sediments can be produced only in initially alkaline cloudwater that favours an ozone-dominated SO2 oxidation pathway in the troposphere. Our finding suggests that, in contrast to the weakly acidic conditions today(5), cloudwater in the northern High Plains may frequently have been alkaline during the mid-Cenozoic era. We propose that atmospheric secondary sulphate preserved in continental deposits represents an unexploited geological archive for atmospheric SO2 oxidation chemistry linked to volcanism and atmospheric conditions in the past.

AB Under tensile deformation, Au nanowires (NWs) elongate to form single atom chains via a series of intermediate structural transformations. These intermediate structures are investigated using static density-functional theory, with particular attention paid to their behavior under load. The accessibility of these structures and their stability under load are found to be key factors governing the morphological evolution of the NW, while the ground-state energy of the unstrained structures does not correlate well with the observed behavior. Reverse loading conditions are also studied, where a NW is first deformed in tension and then deformed in compression. Again, accessibility and stability under load are the key criteria for predicting the evolution of the NW. Finally, electronic structure studies show abrupt opening and closing of small band gaps during tensile deformation, possibly explaining conductance oscillations observed experimentally. An analysis of the orbital interactions responsible for this unusual band-gap behavior is presented.

AB Reaction of Cr(CO)(6) with trimesic acid in DMF affords the metal-organic framework Cr-3(BTC)(2)center dot nDMF (BTC3- = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate), which is isostructural to Cu-3(BTC)(2)center dot 3H(2)O. Exchanging DMF for methanol and heating at 160 degrees C under dynamic vacuum for 48 h results in the desolvated framework Cr-3(BTC)(2). Nitrogen gas adsorption measurements performed at 77 K revealed a type I isotherm, indicating BET and Langmuir surface areas of 1810 and 2040 m(2)/g, respectively. At 298 K, the O-2 adsorption isotherm for Cr-3(BTC)(2) rises steeply to a capacity of 11 wt % at 2 mbar, while the corresponding N-2 adsorption isotherm displays very little uptake, gradually rising to a capacity of 0.58 wt % at 1 bar. Accordingly, the material displays an unprecedented O-2/N-2 selectivity factor of 22. Deoxygenation of the sample could be accomplished by heating at 50 degrees C under vacuum for 48 h, leading to a gradually diminishing uptake capacity over the course of 15 consecutive adsorption/desorption cycles. Infrared and X-ray absorption spectra suggest formation of an O-2 adduct with partial charge transfer from the Cr-II centers exposed on the surface of the framework. Neutron powder diffraction data confirm this mechanism of O-2 binding and indicate a lengthening of the Cr-Cr distance within the paddle-wheel units of the framework from 2.06(2) to 2.8(1) angstrom.

TI Cavity ring-down spectroscopy measurements of sub-Doppler hyperfine
structure
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW A

AB Frequency-stabilized cavity ring-down spectroscopy (FS-CRDS) was used to measure magnetic dipole transitions in the b(1)Sigma(+)(g) <-- X-3 Sigma(-)(g)(0,0) band of O-2. The O-17-containing isotopologues show unresolved hyperfine structure due to magnetic hyperfine splitting in the ground state. The sensitivity and stability of FS-CRDS allow for quantitative sub-Doppler measurements of the hyperfine constants, even when the hyperfine splittings are much smaller than the Doppler width. Unlike saturation spectroscopy, this linear absorption technique can be applied to weak transitions and employed to quantitatively measure intensities and line shapes. This method may be an attractive approach for measuring unresolved hyperfine structure in excited electronic states.

AB We report the use of high-field (57)Fe Mossbauer spectroscopy to resolve the magnetic ordering of ilmenite-hematite [xFeTiO(3)-(1-x)Fe(2)O(3)] solid solutions with x > 0.5. We find that nanometer-sized hematite clusters exist within an ilmenite-like matrix. Although both phases are antiferromagnetically ordered, the hematite clusters show ferrimagnetic behavior due to superexchange coupling with Fe(2+) in ilmenite. For ilmenite-rich samples (x = 0.95), the clusters are isolated and superparamagnetic. For more hematite-rich samples with x = 0.80 and x = 0.70, the clusters interact to form a cluster glass.

TI Including Source Uncertainty and Prior Information in the Analysis of
Stable Isotope Mixing Models
SO ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY
LA English
DT Article
ID TROPHIC POSITION; CARBON; RATIOS; LAKES; TOO
AB Stable isotope mixing models offer a statistical framework for estimating the contribution of multiple sources (such as prey) to a mixture distribution. Recent advances in these models have estimated the source proportions using Bayesian methods, but have not explicitly accounted for uncertainty in the mean and variance of sources. We demonstrate that treating these quantities as unknown parameters can reduce bias in the estimated source contributions, although model complexity is increased (thereby increasing the variance of estimates). The advantages of this fully Bayesian approach are particularly apparent when the source geometry is poor or sample sizes are small. A second benefit to treating source quantities as parameters is that prior source information can be included. We present findings from 9 lake food-webs, where the consumer of interest (fish) has a diet composed of 5 sources: aquatic insects, snails, zooplankton, amphipods, and terrestrial insects. We compared the traditional Bayesian stable isotope mixing model with fixed source parameters to our fully Bayesian model with and without an informative prior. The informative prior has much less impact than the choice of model the traditional mixing model with fixed source parameters estimates the diet to be dominated by aquatic insects, while the fully Bayesian model estimates the diet to be more balanced but with greater importance of zooplankton. The findings from this example demonstrate that there can be stark differences in inference between the two model approaches, particularly when the source geometry of the mixing model is poor. These analyses also emphasize the importance of investing substantial effort toward characterizing the variation in the isotopic characteristics of source pools to appropriately quantify uncertainties in their contributions to consumers in food webs.

AB Biomonitoring surveys of wild cetaceans commonly utilize blubber as a means to assess exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs), but the relationship between concentrations in blubber and those in blood, a better indicator of target organ exposure, is poorly understood. To define this relationship, matched blubber and plasma samples (n = 56) were collected from free-ranging bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) and analyzed for 61 polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners, 5 polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) congeners, and 13 organochlorine pesticides (OCPs). With the exception of PCB 209, lipid-normalized concentrations of the major POPs in blubber and plasma were positively and significantly correlated (R(2) = 0.828 to 0.976). Plasma concentrations, however, significantly increased with declining blubber lipid content, suggesting that as lipid is utilized, POPs are mobilized into blood. Compound- and homologue-specific blubber/blood partition coefficients also differed according to lipid content, suggesting POPs are selectively mobilized from blubber. Overall, these results suggest that with the regression parameters derived here, blubber may be used to estimate blood concentrations and vice versa. Additionally, the mobilization of lipid from blubber and concomitant increase in contaminants in blood suggests cetaceans with reduced blubber lipid may be at greater risk for contaminant-associated health effects.

AB A two-port GaN nanowire (NW) device with one Schottky contact and one Ohmic contact was characterized up to 10 GHz using on-wafer microwave measurements. In addition to the measurement of the broadband response, two additional applications of microwave measurements are introduced: (1) the capability to distinguish a Schottky-type contact from an Ohmic contact based on the reflected broadband signals (S(11) and S(22)) and (2) the measurement of a capacitance voltage (CV) curve for a Schottky contact to a bundle of a few NWs. The junction capacitance of the Schottky contact is determined at various bias voltages by fitting the broadband response with a microwave circuit model. The carrier concentration is estimated from the resulting CV curve to be 5.3 X 10(18)/cm(3) and the Schottky barrier height is estimated to be 0.89 eV. (c) 2010 American Institute of Physics.

AB Octahedral tilt transitions in epitaxial AgTa0.5Nb0.5O3 (ATN) films grown on (001)(p) (where p =pseudocubic) oriented SrRuO3/LaAlO3 and LaAlO3 substrates were characterized by electron diffraction and high resolution x-ray diffraction. It was found that the ATN films exhibited octahedral rotations characteristic of the Pbcm space group, similar to those seen in bulk materials; however, the temperature of the M-3 <-> M-2 phase transition has been suppressed by similar to 250 K due to the fact that the correlation length for rotations about c(p) was significantly reduced. The average off-center B-cation displacements, which signify the degree of long-range order for these local cation positions, were negligibly small compared to bulk materials, as inferred from the near-zero intensity of the 1/4(00l)(p)-type reflections. On cooling, pronounced ordering of B-cation displacements occurred at approximate to 60 K which is significantly lower compared to bulk (approximate to 310 K). The onset of this ordering coincides with a broad maximum in relative permittivity as a function of temperature. It is believed that point and planar defects in thin ATN films disrupt the complex sequence of in-phase and antiphase rotations around c(p) thereby reducing the effective strength of interactions between the tilting and cation displacements.

AB Ocean atmosphere interaction over the Northern Hemisphere western boundary current (WBC) regions (i.e., the Gulf Stream, Kuroshio, Oyashio, and their extensions) is reviewed with an emphasis on their role in basin-scale climate variability. SST anomalies exhibit considerable variance on interannual to decadal time scales in these regions. Low-frequency SST variability is primarily driven by basin-scale wind stress curl variability via the oceanic Rossby wave adjustment of the gyre-scale circulation that modulates the latitude and strength of the WBC-related oceanic fronts. Rectification of the variability by mesoscale eddies, re-emergence of the anomalies from the preceding winter, and tropical remote forcing also play important roles in driving and maintaining the low-frequency variability in these regions. In the Gulf Stream region, interaction with the deep western boundary current also likely influences the low-frequency variability. Surface heat fluxes damp the low-frequency SST anomalies over the WBC regions; thus, heat fluxes originate with heat anomalies in the ocean and have the potential to drive the overlying atmospheric circulation. While recent observational studies demonstrate a local atmospheric boundary layer response to WBC changes, the latter's influence on the large-scale atmospheric circulation is still unclear. Nevertheless, heat and moisture fluxes from the WBCs into the atmosphere influence the mean state of the atmospheric circulation, including anchoring the latitude of the storm tracks to the WBCs. Furthermore, many climate models suggest that the large-scale atmospheric response to SST anomalies driven by ocean dynamics in WBC regions can be important in generating decadal climate variability. As a step toward bridging climate model results and observations, the degree of realism of the WBC in current climate model simulations is assessed. Finally, outstanding issues concerning ocean atmosphere interaction in WBC regions and its impact on climate variability are discussed.

AB The impact of stratospheric model configuration on modeled planetary-scale waves in Northern Hemisphere winter is examined using the Canadian Middle Atmosphere Model (CM AM). The CMAM configurations include a high-lid (0.001 hPa) and a low-lid (10 hPa) configuration, which were each run with and without conservation of parameterized gravity wave momentum flux. The planetary wave structure, vertical propagation, and the basic state are found to be in good agreement with reanalysis data for the high-lid conservative configuration with the exception of the downward-propagating wave I signal. When the lid is lowered and momentum is conserved, the wave characteristics and basic state are not significantly altered, with the exception of the downward-propagating wave 1 signal, which is damped by the act of conservation. When momentum is not conserved, however, the wave amplitude increases significantly near the lid, and there is a large increase in both the upward- and downward-propagating wave 1 signals and a significant increase in the strength of the basic state. The impact of conserving parameterized gravity wave momentum flux is found lobe much larger than that of the model lid height. The changes to the planetary waves and basic state significantly impact the stratosphere troposphere coupling in the different configurations. In the low-lid configuration, there is an increase in wave-reflection-type coupling over zonal-mean-type coupling, a reduction in stratospheric sudden warming events, and an increase in the northern annular mode time scale.

TI Real-time weekly global green vegetation fraction derived from advanced

AB To provide quality-improved and consistent real-time global green vegetation fraction (GVF) data products that are suitable for use in operational numerical weather, climate, and hydrological models, necessary processing steps are applied to the output data stream from the advanced very high resolution radiometer (AVHRR)-based NOAA operational global vegetation index (GVI) system. This paper reviewed the NOAA GVI data and described the algorithm to derive weekly updated real-time GVF from the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI). The methodology description focuses on algorithm justification in an operational production context. The described algorithm was implemented in the global vegetation processing system (GVPS). The new global GVF data sets include the multiyear GVF weekly climatology and the real-time weekly GVF. Compared to the old 5 year GVF monthly climatology currently used in the operational National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP)/Environmental Modeling Center (EMC) weather and climate models, the new data sets provide an overall higher vegetation value, real-time surface vegetation information, and numerous other improvements. The new GVF data set quality was partially assured by validation against Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) NDVI at a few EOS land validation core sites and comparison with another independently processed NDVI data set. Impact of the new GVF data sets in numerical weather prediction (NWP) model was investigated using EMC mesoscale model simulations and concluded overall positive.

TI Bayesian ensemble forecast of river stages and ensemble size

ID HYDROLOGIC UNCERTAINTY PROCESSOR; QUANTITATIVE PRECIPITATION FORECASTS;
MODEL; SYSTEM
AB The problem is to provide a short-term, probabilistic forecast of a river stage time series {H(1),...,H(N)} based on a probabilistic quantitative precipitation forecast. The Bayesian forecasting system (BFS) for this problem is implemented as a Monte-Carlo algorithm that generates an ensemble of realizations of the river stage time series. This article (i) shows how the analytic-numerical BFS can be used as a generator of the Bayesian ensemble forecast (BEF), (ii) demonstrates the properties of the BEF, and (iii) investigates the sample size requirements for ensemble forecasts (produced by the BFS or by any other system).
The investigation of the ensemble size requirements exploits the unique advantage of the BFS, which outputs the exact, analytic, predictive distribution function of the stochastic process {H(1),...,H(N)}, as well as can generate an ensemble of realizations of this process from which a sample estimate of the predictive distribution function can be constructed. By comparing the analytic distribution with its sample estimates from ensembles of different sizes, the smallest ensemble size M* required to ensure a specified expected accuracy can be inferred. Numerical experiments in four river basins demonstrate that M* depends upon the kind of probabilistic forecast that is constructed from the ensemble. Three kinds of forecasts are constructed: (i) a probabilistic river stage forecast (PRSF), which for each time n (n = 1,...,N) specifies a predictive distribution function of H(n); (ii) a probabilistic stage transition forecast (PSTF), which for each time n specifies a family (for all h(n-1)) of predictive one-step transition distribution functions from H(n-1) = h(n-1) to H(n); and (iii) a probabilistic flood forecast (PFF), which for each time n specifies a predictive distribution function of max{H(1),...,H(n)}.
Overall, the experimental results demonstrate that the smallest ensemble size M* required for accurate estimation (or numerical representation) of these predictive distribution functions is (i) insensitive to experimental factors and on the order of several hundreds for the PRSF and the PFF and (ii) sensitive to experimental factors and on the order of several thousands for the PSTF. The general conclusions for system developers are that the ensemble size is an important design variable, and that the optimal ensemble size M* depends upon the purpose of the forecast: for dynamic control problems (which require a PSTF), M* is likely to be larger by a factor of 3-20 than it is for static decision problems (which require a PRSF or a PFF).

AB Two series of amphiphilic triblock surface active block copolymers (SABCs) were prepared through chemical modification of two polystyrene-block-poly(ethylene-ran-butylene)-block-polyisoprene ABC triblock copolymer precursors. The methyl ether of poly(ethylene glycol) [M(n) approximate to 550 g/mol (PEG550)] and a semifluorinated alcohol (CF(3)(CF(2))(9)(CH(2))(10)OH) [F10H10] were attached at different molar ratios to impart both hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups to the isoprene segment. Coatings on glass slides consisting of a thin layer of the amphiphilic SABC deposited on a thicker layer of an ABA polystyrene-block-poly(ethylene-ran-butylene)-block-polystyrene thermoplastic elastomer were prepared for biofouling assays with algae. Dynamic water contact angle analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and near-edge X-ray absorption One structure (NEXAFS) measurements were utilized to characterize the surfaces. Clear differences in surface structure were realized as the composition of attached side chains was varied. In biofouling assays, the settlement (attachment) of zoospores of the green alga Ulva was higher for surfaces incorporating a large proportion of the hydrophobic F10H10 side chains, while surfaces with a large proportion of the PEG550 side chains inhibited settlement. The trend in attachment strength of sporelings (young plants) of Ulva did not show such an obvious pattern. However, amphiphilic SABCs incorporating a mixture of PEG550 and F10H10 side chains performed the best. The number of cells of the diatom Navicula attached after exposure to flow decreased as the content of PEG550 to F10H10 side chains increased.

AB Competitive adsorption kinetics between thiolated polyethylene glycol (SH-PEG) and mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) on gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) were studied using a prototype physical characterization approach that combines dynamic light scattering (DLS) and electrospray differential mobility analysis (ES-DMA). The change in hydrodynamic particle size (intensity average) due to the formation of SH-PEG coatings on Au-NPs was measured by DLS in both two-component (Au-NP + MPA or Au-NP + SH-PEG) and three-component (Au-NP + MPA + SH-PEG) systems. ES-DMA was employed to quantify the surface coverage of SH-PEG and establish a correlation between surface coverage and the change in particle size measured by DLS. A change in the equilibrium binding constant for SH-PEG on Au-NPs at various concentrations of SH-PEG and MPA showed that the presence of MPA reduced the binding affinity of SH-PEG to the An-NP surface. Kinetic studies showed that SH-PEG was desorbed from the Au-NP surface following a second-order desorption model after subsequently introducing MPA. The desorption rate constant of SH-PEG from the Au-NP surface by MPA displacement was strongly affected by the concentration of MPA and the excess SH-PEG in solution.

AB The hydrothermal plume generated in deep waters above the Logatchev hydrothermal field (LHF) about 15 degrees N on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge was investigated and mapped for its 3D distributions using a combination of in situ optical light scattering data, temperature and salinity data, as well as concentrations of hydrogen, methane, total dissolvable Fe, and total dissolvable Mn. Based on the results obtained for these meaningful parameters, we report the geochemical and physical characteristics of the fluids expelled from the ultramafic LHF and the chemical structure of its hydrothermal plume in the water column.
The hydrothermal plume is sourced by at least seven distinct vent sites and possibly additional diffusive fluid and gas discharge. It comprises a water body characterized by strong nephelometric anomalies (expressed as Delta NTU, nephelometric turbidity units) and high concentrations of Fe and Mn (>5 times seawater concentration), and the gas plume with several times the H(2) and CH(4) concentrations of normal seawater. Up to three plume levels with a total vertical extension of about 350 m from the seafloor were classified in the hydrothermal plume. The Delta NTU plume could be followed to approximately 2.5 km to the north and to the south from the vent site while the gas plume spread several km farther from the hydrothermal source. High concentrations of H(2) (up to 1598 nmol l(-1)) and CH(4) (up to 323 nmol l(-1)) accompanied by relatively low dissolvable Fe concentrations (up to 270 nmol l(-1)) as well as low concentrations of dissolvable Mn (112 nmol l(-1)) compared to basaltic hydrothermal systems are the characteristics of the plume. The low metal/gas ratios showed a decrease with increasing distance from the vent site. Our data demonstrate that ultramafic systems such as the LHF serve both as sources and sinks for elements, with respect to metal and gas inputs into the oceanic water column. The relevance of such systems is underlined by the discovery (and postulated frequency) of further ultramafic-hosted hydrothermal systems on slow-spreading ridges. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V.

AB Earth became warmer and cooler during the ice ages along with changes in the Earth's orbit, but the orbital changes themselves are not nearly large enough to explain the magnitude of the warming and cooling. Atmospheric CO(2) also rose and fell, but again, the CO(2) changes are rather small in relation to the warming and cooling. So, how did the Earth manage to warm and cool by so much? Here we argue that, for the big transitions at least, the Earth did not warm and cool as a single entity. Rather, the south warmed instead at the expense of a cooler north through massive redistributions of heat that were set off by the orbital forcing. Oceanic CO(2) was vented up to the atmosphere by the same redistributions. The north then warmed later in response to higher CO(2) and a reduced albedo from smaller ice sheets. This form of north-south displacement is actually very familiar, as it is readily observed during the Younger Dryas interval 13,000 years ago and in the various millennial-scale events over the last 90,000 years.

AB Low-temperature magnetic properties of Cd-doped Ce2MIn8 (M = Rh and Ir) single crystals are investigated. Experiments of temperature-dependent magnetic-susceptibility, heat-capacity, and electrical-resistivity measurements revealed that Cd doping enhances the antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordering temperature from T-N = 2.8 K (x=0) to T-N=4.8 K (x=0.21) for Ce2RhIn8-xCdx and induces long-range AFM ordering with T-N = 3.8 K (x=0.21) for Ce2IrIn8-xCdx. Additionally, x-ray and neutron magnetic scattering studies showed that Cd-doped samples present below T-N a commensurate antiferromagnetic structure with a propagation vector (epsilon) over right arrow=(1/2, 1/2, 0). The resolved magnetic structures for both compounds indicate that the Cd doping tends to rotate the direction of the ordered magnetic moments toward the ab plane. This result suggests that the Cd doping affects the Ce3+ ground-state single-ion anisotropy modifying the crystalline electrical field (CEF) parameters at the Ce3+ site. Indications of CEF evolution induced by Cd doping were also found in the electrical-resistivity measurements. Comparisons between our results and the general effects of Cd doping on the related compounds CeMIn5 (M=Co, Rh, and Ir) confirms the claims that the Cd doping induced electronic tuning is the main effect favoring AFM ordering in these compounds.

AB Detailed electronic many-body configurations are extracted from quantitatively measured time-resolved nonlinear absorption spectra of resonantly excited GaAs quantum wells. The microscopic theory assigns the observed spectral changes to a unique mixture of electron-hole plasma, exciton, and polarization effects. Strong transient gain is observed only under cocircular pump-probe conditions and is attributed to the transfer of pump-induced coherences to the probe.

TI Incommensurate itinerant antiferromagnetic excitations and spin
resonance in the FeTe0.6Se0.4 superconductor
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B
LA English
DT Article
ID NEUTRON-SCATTERING
AB We report on inelastic neutron-scattering measurements that find itinerantlike incommensurate magnetic excitations in the normal state of superconducting FeTe0.6Se0.4 (T-c=14 K) at wave vector Q(inc) = (1/2 +/- epsilon, 1/2 -/+ epsilon) with epsilon = 0.09(1). In the superconducting state only the lower energy part of the spectrum shows significant changes by the formation of a gap and a magnetic resonance that follows the dispersion of the normal-state excitations. We use a four band model to describe the Fermi-surface topology of this iron-based superconductors with the extended s(+/-) symmetry and find that it qualitatively captures the salient features of these data.

TI Coupling of spin and orbital excitations in the iron-based
superconductor FeSe0.5Te0.5
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B
LA English
DT Article
ID STATE
AB We present a combined analysis of neutron scattering and photoemission measurements on superconducting FeSe0.5Te0.5. The low-energy magnetic excitations disperse only in the direction transverse to the characteristic wave vector (1/2, 0,0) whereas the electronic Fermi surface near (1/2, 0,0) appears to consist of four incommensurate pockets. While the spin resonance occurs at an incommensurate wave vector compatible with nesting, neither spin-wave nor Fermi-surface-nesting models can describe the magnetic dispersion. We propose that a coupling of spin and orbital correlations is key to explaining this behavior. If correct, it follows that these nematic fluctuations are involved in the resonance and could be relevant to the pairing mechanism.

AB Lacaziosis (lobomycosis) is a skin disease caused by Lacazia loboi, occurring naturally only in humans and dolphins. Attempts to culture the pathogen in vitro have been unsuccessful, and inoculation studies of lacaziosis development in mice have provided only limited, short-term data on the progression and propagation of L. loboi. The present study used photographic data from long-term photo-identification and health assessment projects to model and quantify the progression of lacaziosis lesions in 3 common bottlenose dolphins Tursiops truncatus from Sarasota Bay, Florida, USA. Dorsal fin images throughout each animal's sighting history were examined for lesion growth, and the proportion of lesion coverage in each photograph was estimated using image analysis tools in Adobe Photoshop (R). The progression of lacaziosis lesions and lesion growth rates were modeled using a non-linear monomolecular growth model. As data on lacaziosis development and advancement are limited in humans and laboratory animals, dolphins with a long-term case history of the disease may serve as a good animal model to better understand lacaziosis progression. Furthermore, this study demonstrates the utility of long-term population monitoring data for tracking the progression of a poorly understood disease that is relevant to both dolphin and human health.

AB The most X-ray luminous cluster known, RXJ1347-1145 (z = 0.45), has been the object of extensive study across the electromagnetic spectrum. We have imaged the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect (SZE) at 90 GHz (lambda = 3.3 mm) in RXJ1347-1145 at 10 '' resolution with the 64 pixel MUSTANG bolometer array on the Green Bank Telescope, confirming a previously reported strong, localized enhancement of the SZE 20 '' to the southeast of the center of X-ray emission. This enhancement of the SZE has been interpreted as shock-heated (>20 keV) gas caused by an ongoing major (low mass ratio) merger event. Our data support this interpretation. We also detect a pronounced asymmetry in the projected cluster pressure profile, with the pressure just east of the cluster core similar to 1.6 x higher than just to the west. This is the highest resolution image of the SZE made to date.

AB The two-channel reaction of collision-induced dissociation (CID) of the n-butylbenzene cation under the conditions of multipole collision cells of tandem mass spectrometers was studied computationally. The results were compared with the experimental data from earlier CID studies. The Monte Carlo method used includes simulation of the trajectories of night of the parent (n-C(4)H(9)C(6)H(5)(+)) and the product (C(7)H(7)(+) and C(7)H(8)(+)) ions in the electromagnetic field of multipole ion guides and collision cells, classical trajectory modeling of collisional activation and scattering of ions, and RRKM modeling of the parent ion decomposition. Experimental information on the energy dependences of the rates of the n-butylbenzene cation dissociation via two channels was used to create an RRKM model of the reaction. Effects of uncertainties in the critical parameters of the model of the reaction and the collision cells on the results of calculations were evaluated and shown to be minor. The results of modelin demonstrate a good agreement with experiment, providing support for the applied computational method in. general and the use of classical trajectory modeling of collisional activation of ions in particular.

TI Electric field suppression of ultracold confined chemical reactions
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW A
LA English
DT Article
ID POLAR-MOLECULES; 2 DIMENSIONS; SCATTERING
AB We consider ultracold collisions of polar molecules confined in a one-dimensional optical lattice. Using a quantum scattering formalism and a frame transformation method, we calculate elastic and chemical quenching rate constants for fermionic molecules. Taking (40)K(87)Rb molecules as a prototype, we find that the rate of quenching collisions is enhanced at zero electric field as the confinement is increased but that this rate is suppressed when the electric field is turned on. For molecules with 500 nK of collision energy, for realistic molecular densities, and for achievable experimental electric fields and trap confinements, we predict lifetimes for KRb molecules to be 1 s. We find a ratio of elastic to quenching collision rates of about 100, which may be sufficient to achieve efficient evaporative cooling of polar KRb molecules.

AB Neutron-scattering measurements on a single crystal of the distorted kagome system Pr3Ga5SiO14 show that in zero magnetic field the system does not order magnetically at temperatures as low as 35 mK. The specific heat is found to exhibit T-2 behavior below 4 K. These results are indicative of a low-temperature two-dimensional dynamically disordered state in this geometrically frustrated antiferromagnet. Complementary in-field NMR experiments reveal that the spins remain dynamic down to millikelvin temperatures exhibiting spin-correlation times that are field dependent. The results are consistent with a field-dependent gap in the low-energy excitation spectrum. Diffuse neutron-scattering observations suggest that the application of a magnetic field induces dynamical short-range ordering.

TI Growth kinetics of intermetallic alloy phase at the interfaces of a
Ni/Al multilayer using polarized neutron and x-ray reflectometry
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B
LA English
DT Article
ID THIN-FILMS; SCATTERING; SURFACES
AB Al-Ni-based binary alloys offer several intermetallic phases of immense technological importance. We have attempted to understand the growth of interface alloy in an Al-Ni multilayer sample as a function of annealing time using primarily x-ray reflectometry (XRR) and polarized neutron reflectometry (PNR). Powder x-ray diffraction was also used to determine various crystallographic phases in the sample. The multilayer showed remarkable stability with respect to annealing time, following an initial alloy formation at the interface. Stability of such multilayers is important for their applicability as corrosion resistant coatings as well as metallization layers in microelectronic devices. Using XRR and PNR data we have identified the interface layer as Al(3)Ni intermetallic phase. Magnetic depth profile obtained from PNR shows that the interface alloy layer is magnetically dead. From the Bragg peak intensities of polarized neutron reflectivity measurements, we have estimated the diffusion lengths after annealing at 160 degrees C for 1-8 h.

TI Effect of latitude on the persistence of eddy-driven jets
SO GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS
LA English
DT Article
ID NORTH-ATLANTIC OSCILLATION; ANNULAR MODES; ATMOSPHERE; HEMISPHERE
AB An asymmetry in the persistence of the eddy-driven jet is demonstrated, whereby the equatorward-shifted (low-phase) jet is more persistent than the poleward-shifted (high-phase) jet. The asymmetry is investigated by stirring the non divergent vorticity equation on the sphere and is shown to arise due to the sphericity of the earth, which inhibits poleward wave breaking when the jet is at high latitudes. This spherical effect becomes increasingly important as the mean jet is positioned at higher latitudes. The persistence of the annular mode decreases as the mean jet moves closer to the pole due to the decreased persistence of the high-phase state, while the low-phase state exhibits similar persistence regardless of the jet position. These results suggest that with the expected poleward shift of the jet due to increasing greenhouse gases, the annular mode's total persistence will decrease due to a decrease in the persistence of the high-phase.

TI On the reliability of the US surface temperature record
SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-ATMOSPHERES
LA English
DT Article
ID HISTORICAL CLIMATOLOGY NETWORK; UNITED-STATES; TIME; BIAS; STATIONS
AB Recent photographic documentation of poor siting conditions at stations in the U. S. Historical Climatology Network (USHCN) has led to questions regarding the reliability of surface temperature trends over the conterminous United States (CONUS). To evaluate the potential impact of poor siting/instrument exposure on CONUS temperatures, trends derived from poor and well sited USHCN stations were compared. Results indicate that there is a mean bias associated with poor exposure sites relative to good exposure sites; however, this bias is consistent with previously documented changes associated with the widespread conversion to electronic sensors in the USHCN during the last 25 years. Moreover, the sign of the bias is counterintuitive to photographic documentation of poor exposure because associated instrument changes have led to an artificial negative ("cool") bias in maximum temperatures and only a slight positive ("warm") bias in minimum temperatures. These results underscore the need to consider all changes in observation practice when determining the impacts of siting irregularities. Further, the influence of nonstandard siting on temperature trends can only be quantified through an analysis of the data. Adjustments applied to USHCN Version 2 data largely account for the impact of instrument and siting changes, although a small overall residual negative ("cool") bias appears to remain in the adjusted maximum temperature series. Nevertheless, the adjusted USHCN temperatures are extremely well aligned with recent measurements from instruments whose exposure characteristics meet the highest standards for climate monitoring. In summary, we find no evidence that the CONUS average temperature trends are inflated due to poor station siting.

TI Verification of Universal Relations in a Strongly Interacting Fermi Gas
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS
LA English
DT Article
ID ATOMS
AB Many-body fermion systems are important in many branches of physics, including condensed matter, nuclear, and now cold atom physics. In many cases, the interactions between fermions can be approximated by a contact interaction. A recent theoretical advance in the study of these systems is the derivation of a number of exact universal relations that are predicted to be valid for all interaction strengths, temperatures, and spin compositions. These equations, referred to as the Tan relations, relate a microscopic quantity, namely, the amplitude of the high-momentum tail of the fermion momentum distribution, to the thermodynamics of the many-body system. In this work, we provide experimental verification of the Tan relations in a strongly interacting gas of fermionic atoms by measuring both the microscopic and macroscopic quantities in the same system.

AB We analyzed the pattern of large forest disturbances or blow-downs apparently caused by severe storms in a mostly unmanaged portion of the Brazilian Amazon using 27 Landsat images and daily precipitation estimates from NOAA satellite data. For each Landsat a spectral mixture analysis (SMA) was applied. Based on SMA, we detected and mapped 279 patches (from 5 ha to 2,223 ha) characteristic of blow-downs. A total of 21,931 ha of forest were disturbed. We found a strong correlation between occurrence of blow-downs and frequency of heavy rainfall (Spearman's rank, r(2) = 0.84, p < 0.0003). The recurrence intervals of large disturbances were estimated to be 90,000 yr for the eastern Amazon and 27,000 yr for the western Amazon. This suggests that weather patterns affect the frequency of large forest disturbances that may produce different rates of forest turnover in the eastern and western Amazon basin.

TI Subsurface characterization of carbon nanotubes in polymer composites

AB Subsurface characterization of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) dispersed in free-standing polymer composite films was achieved via quantitative electric force microscopy (EFM). The effects of relative humidity, EFM probe geometry, tip-sample distance and bias voltage on the EFM contrast were studied. Non-parabolic voltage dependence of the EFM signal of subsurface CNTs in polymer composites was observed and a new mechanism was proposed taking consideration of capacitive coupling as well as coulombic coupling. We anticipate that this quantitative EFM technique will be a useful tool for non-destructive subsurface characterization of high dielectric constant nanostructures in low dielectric constant matrices.

TI Dynamic Nuclear Polarization in Double Quantum Dots
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS
LA English
DT Article
ID 2-DIMENSIONAL ELECTRON-GAS; SPIN
AB We theoretically investigate the controlled dynamic polarization of lattice nuclear spins in GaAs double quantum dots containing two electrons. Three regimes of long-term dynamics are identified, including the buildup of a large difference in the Overhauser fields across the dots, the saturation of the nuclear polarization process associated with formation of so-called "dark states'', and the elimination of the difference field. We show that in the case of unequal dots, buildup of difference fields generally accompanies the nuclear polarization process, whereas for nearly identical dots, buildup of difference fields competes with polarization saturation in dark states. The elimination of the difference field does not, in general, correspond to a stable steady state of the polarization process.

AB A facile approach to maintain the periodic mesostructure of cylindrical pores in polymer-resin and carbon films after thermal template removal is explored through the reactive coassembly of resol (carbon precursor) and tetraethylorthosilicate (silica precursor) with triblock copolymer Pluronic F127. Without silica, a low porosity, disordered film is formed after pyrolysis despite the presence of an ordered mesostructure prior to template removal. However for silica concentration greater than 25 wt %, pyrolysis at 350 degrees C yields a mesoporous silica-polymer film with well-defined pore mesostructure. These films remain well ordered upon carbonization at 800 degrees C. In addition to the mesostructural stability, the addition of silica to the matrix impacts other morphological characteristics. For example, the average pore size and porosity of the films increase from 3.2 to 7.5 nm and 12 to 45%, respectively, as the concentration of silica in the wall matrix increases from 0 to 32 wt %. The improved thermal stability of the ordered mesostructure with the addition of silica to the matrix is attributed to the reinforcement of the mechanical properties leading to resistance to stress induced collapse of the mesostructure during template removal.

AB The details of the rotational dynamics of borohydride ions in both the ordered and disordered crystal phases of NaBH4 and in the disordered crystal phase of KBH4 were determined by quasielastic neutron scattering (QNS). Model fits of the QNS data indicate that the BH4- tetrahedron in the ordered phase of NaBH4 rotates with a combination of 2-site and 3-site reorientations that preserve its crystallographic orientation. The QNS results for the disordered phases are well described by a model assuming nearest-neighbor BH4- jumps from one corner to another of a cube formed by eight hydrogen positions of half occupancy. Distinguishing between likely mechanisms for reorientation was made possible by collecting data at sufficiently high momentum transfer. The activation energies derived for the low-temperature and high-temperature phases of NaBH4 are 13.4 +/- 0.8 and 11.9 +/- 0.5 kJ/mol, respectively. We find an activation energy for KBH4 of 14.6 +/- 0.5 kJ/mol in the high-temperature phase. The torsional vibration bands of both borohydrides were also measured by inelastic neutron scattering.

AB Generation of heat using optically excited nanoparticles can be beneficial or detrimental depending on the application. Therefore, clinically applicable studies are being pursued in an effort to identify safe practices of nanoparticle-induced hyperthermia for the treatment of cancerous tissues using optical radiation. The imaging and characterization of localized heat production resulting from optically excited nanoparticles on both cellular and tissue levels is important for determination of nanoparticle dosage and optimal conditions for the radiation. In this report, we present a multimodal imaging method to monitor the local temperature change induced by photothermally excited, biologically relevant gold nanoshell clusters on the micrometer scale using two types of temperature-sensitive fluorescent reporters: Indo-1 or semiconductor quantum dots. The photoinduced heat flux from gold nanoshells is observed to be dependent on the dynamic motion of nanoparticles in the induced thermal gradient, with phenomena such as nanoparticle focusing strongly influencing the local temperature elevation.

TI Quantum simulation of frustrated Ising spins with trapped ions

ID ENTANGLEMENT; COMPUTATION; SYSTEMS; GLASSES; ANYONS; STATE
AB A network is frustrated when competing interactions between nodes prevent each bond from being satisfied. This compromise is central to the behaviour of many complex systems, from social(1) and neural(2) networks to protein folding(3) and magnetism(4,5). Frustrated networks have highly degenerate ground states, with excess entropy and disorder even at zero temperature. In the case of quantum networks, frustration can lead to massively entangled ground states, underpinning exotic materials such as quantum spin liquids and spin glasses(6-9). Here we realize a quantum simulation of frustrated Ising spins in a system of three trapped atomic ions(10-12), whose interactions are precisely controlled using optical forces(13). We study the ground state of this system as it adiabatically evolves from a transverse polarized state, and observe that frustration induces extra degeneracy. We also measure the entanglement in the system, finding a link between frustration and ground-state entanglement. This experimental system can be scaled to simulate larger numbers of spins, the ground states of which (for frustrated interactions) cannot be simulated on a classical computer.

AB We use the temporal asymmetry of the cross-correlation function to determine the temporal ordering of spatially localized cellular events in live-cell multichannel fluorescence imaging. The analysis is well suited to noisy, stochastic systems where the temporal order may not be apparent in the raw data. The approach is applicable to any biochemical reaction not in chemical equilibrium, including protein complex assembly, sequential enzymatic processes, gene regulation, and other cellular signaling events. As an automated quantitative measure, this approach allows the data to be readily interpreted statistically with minimal subjective biases. We first test the technique using simulations of simple biophysical models with a definite temporal ordering. We then demonstrate the approach by extracting the temporal ordering of three proteins actin, sorting nexin 9, and clathrin-in the endocytic pathway.

AB We have used a combinatorial gradient technique to map precisely how the terrace structure and microdomain lattice alignment in a thin film of a sphere-forming diblock copolymer are affected by both the thickness of the copolymer film and the height of a series of parallel step edges fabricated on the substrate. We find that for film thicknesses slightly incommensurate with integer numbers of sphere layers, the step edges act as nucleation sites for regions with one more or one fewer layers of spheres. We also find that for our system, the hexagonal lattice formed by a single layer of spheres on the low side of a step edge is aligned along the direction of the step edge only where the film on the high side is sufficiently thin to support only a wetting layer of copolymer material. This work will guide the tuning of film thickness and step height in future studies and applications of graphoepitaxy in block copolymer films.

TI Noise correlations of one-dimensional Bose mixtures in optical lattices
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW A
LA English
DT Article
ID TONKS-GIRARDEAU GAS; HARD-CORE BOSONS; ATOMS
AB We study the noise correlations of one-dimensional binary Bose mixtures, as a probe of their quantum phases. In previous work [Phys. Rev. A 80, 023619 (2009)], we found a rich structure of many-body phases in such mixtures, such as paired and counterflow superfluidity. Here we investigate the signature of these phases in the noise correlations of the atomic cloud after time-of-flight expansion, using both Luttinger liquid theory and the time-evolving block decimation (TEBD) method. We find that paired and counterflow superfluidity exhibit distinctive features in the noise spectra. We treat both extended and inhomogeneous systems, and our numerical work shows that the essential physics of the extended systems is present in the trapped-atom systems of current experimental interest. For paired and counterflow superfluid phases, we suggest methods for extracting Luttinger parameters from noise correlation spectroscopy.

ID PYROCHLORE Y2MO2O7; DIFFRACTION; DYNAMICS; DISORDER; OXIDES; ECHO
AB The low-temperature magnetic properties of Tb2Mo2O7 have been studied with bulk susceptibility measurements and with elastic and high-resolution inelastic neutron scattering. This system is a spin glass with a freezing temperature T-g similar to 25 K. A reverse Monte Carlo simulation of the neutron diffraction data shows weak ferromagnetic near-neighbor spatial correlations that do not extend beyond <= 10 angstrom. Neutron measurements of the spin dynamics reveal a slowing down with decreasing temperature without an anomaly at the glass transition. A low-lying Q-independent mode is seen at h omega(0) similar to 0.28 meV. This dispersionless crystal electric field transition is measurable up to 60 K.

AB Cotton fabric was treated with flame-retardant coatings composed of branched polyethyenimine (BPEI) and sodium montmorillonite (MMT) clay, prepared via layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly. Four coating recipes were created by exposing fabric to aqueous solutions of BPEI (pH 7 or 10) and MMT (0.2 or 1 wt %). BPEI pH 10 produces the thickest films, while 1 wt % MMT gives the highest clay loading. Each coating recipe was evaluated at Sand 20 bilayers. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that coated fabrics left as much as 13% char after heating to 500 degrees C, nearly 2 orders of magnitude more than uncoated fabric, with less than 4 wt % coming from the coating itself. These coatings also reduced afterglow time in vertical flame tests. Postburn residues of coated fabrics were examined with SEM and revealed that the weave structure and fiber shape in all coated fabrics were preserved. The BPEI pH 7/1 wt % MMT recipe was most effective. Microcombustion calorimeter testing showed that all coated fabrics reduced the total heat release and heat release capacity of the fabric. Fiber count and strength of uncoated and coated fabric are similar. These results demonstrate that LbL assembly is a relatively simple method for imparting flame-retardant behavior to cotton fabric. This work lays the foundation for using these types of thin film assemblies to make a variety of complex substrates (foam, fabrics, etc.) flame resistant.

AB The past decade has seen increased international recognition of the importance of the services provided by natural ecosystems. It is unclear however whether such international awareness will lead to improved environmental management in many regions. We explore this issue by examining the specific case of fish migration and dams on the Mekong river. We determine that dams on the Mekong mainstem and major tributaries will have a major impact on the basin's fisheries and the people who depend upon them for food and income. We find no evidence that current moves towards dam construction will stop, and consider two scenarios for the future of the fisheries and other ecosystems of the basin. We conclude that major investment is required in innovative technology to reduce the loss of ecosystem services, and alternative livelihood strategies to cope with the losses that do occur.

DT Article
ID CLIMATE-CHANGE; BANGLADESH
AB Satellite data may be used to map climatic conditions conducive to malaria outbreaks, assisting in the targeting of public health interventions to mitigate the worldwide increase in incidence of the mosquito-transmitted disease. This work analyzes correlation between malaria cases and vegetation health (VH) indices derived from satellite remote sensing for each week over a period of 14 years for Bandarban, Bangladesh. Correlation analysis showed that years with a high summer temperature condition index (TCI) tended to be those with high malaria incidence. Principal components regression was performed on patterns of weekly TCI during each of the two annual malaria seasons to construct a model as a function of the TCI. These models reduced the malaria estimation error variance by 57% if first-peak (June July) TCI was used as the estimator and 74% if second-peak (August September) was used, compared with an estimation of average number of malaria cases for each year.

AB Tetrakis(ethylmethylamido)hafnium and water are commonly used precursors for atomic layer deposition of HfO2. Using reflection absorption infrared spectroscopy with a buried-metal-layer substrate, we probe surface species present during typical deposition conditions. We observe evidence for thermal decomposition of alkylamido ligands at 320 degrees C. Additionally, we find that complete saturation of the SiO2 substrate occurs in the first cycle at approximate to 100 degrees C whereas incomplete coverage is apparent even after many cycles at higher temperatures. The use of this technique as an in situ diagnostic useful for process optimization is demonstrated. Published by Elsevier B.V.

AB 1. Incidental catches by the pelagic longline fishery is a major global threat for loggerhead (Caretta caretta) and leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea) sea turtles.
2. The reduction of incidental capture and post-release mortality of sea turtles in the Brazilian pelagic longline fishery, operating in the south-western Atlantic Ocean, was investigated by comparing the performance of 18/0 circle hooks with 9/0 J-type (control) hooks. Hook selectivity experiments were performed between 2004 and 2008, in a total of 26 trips, 229 sets and 145 828 hooks. The experimental design included alternating control and experimental hooks along sections of the mainline.
3. An overall decrease in capture rates for loggerhead turtles of 55% and for leatherbacks of 65% were observed when using circle hooks. In addition, deep-hooking in loggerheads decreased significantly from 25% using J-hooks to 5.8% with circle hooks, potentially increasing post-release survival.
4. Circle hooks increased catch rates of most of the main target species, including tunas (bigeye Thunnus obesus and albacore T. alalunga), and sharks (blue Prionace glauca and requiem sharks of the genus Carcharinus), with no difference in the capture rates of yellowfin tuna (T. albacares), shortfin mako shark (Isurus oxyrinchus), hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini and S. zygaena), and dolphinfish or mahi mahi (Coryphaena hippurus). On the other hand, a significant decrease in the capture rate of swordfish (Xiphias gladius) was detected when using circle hooks.
5. Overall, results support the effectiveness of using circle hooks for the conservation of loggerhead and leatherback sea turtles, with positive effects on capture of most target species of the south-western Atlantic longline fishery. Copyright (C) 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

AB 1. This study compared the catch rates of targeted dolphin fish or mahimahi (Coryphaena hippurus), and sea turtles and other fish bycatch in a shallow-set Costa Rican longline fishery using 14/0 circle hooks with and without a 101 offset. The effect of hook offset on hooking location and injury in captured sea turtles, specifically if the hooking was external, in the mouth, or in the esophagus was also evaluated.
2. Results were compared from six trips totalling 33 876 hooks with squid (Dosidicus gigas) used as bait. In total, mahimahi catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE, expressed as number caught per 1000 hooks) was similar between hook types (CPUE similar to 52).
3. Olive ridley sea turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea) were caught on all 42 sets. In total, 640 olive ridley turtles were caught and released alive. There were no significant differences in the number of sea turtles caught between hooks with and without an offset (CPUE similar to 19) nor between hook type and anatomical hooking location, suggesting similar levels of injury for turtles caught on each hook type.
4. These data suggest that a 101 offset on 14/0 circle hooks does not confer any selective advantages over hooks with no offset with respect to capture rates of mahimahi, sea turtles, sharks, or pelagic stingrays in a shallow set pelagic longline fishery. Copyright (C) 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

AB This paper presents the results of two cruises in the Northern Gulf of Mexico in 2008 that investigated local and short-term factors influencing the carbonate chemistry dynamics and saturation state with respect to aragonite (Omega(aragonite)) of surface seawater in this region. One cruise covered much of the northern half of the Gulf, and the other focused on the coastal zone west of the Atchafalaya Bay outlet of the Mississippi River-the region where the hypoxic "dead zone" occurs on the Louisiana shelf. Offshore waters (> 100 m depth) exhibited only small variations in CO2 fugacity (fCO(2)), total alkalinity (TA) and Omega(aragonite). Values were close to those typically observed in subtropical Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea waters of similar salinity. However, inner shelf waters (< 50 m depth) exhibited large variations in fCO(2), TA, and Omega(aragonite) that were not directly related to salinity or distance from the Mississippi River plume. Changes in TA values were not the result of simple mixing of end-member freshwater and seawater TA concentrations but exhibited a minimum in values near salinity of 25. This minimum could be the result of microbial recycling across salinity gradients, biological removal of alkalinity by formation of calcium carbonate or mixing of a third end-member with a low alkalinity such as Terrebonne Bay. All waters were supersaturated with respect to aragonite. Offshore waters had an average Omega(aragonite) of 3.86 with a standard deviation of only +/- 0.06 and inner shelf waters had a range in Omega(aragonite) values from 3.9 to 9.7 with a median of 4.3. Shelf water Omega(aragonite) values were elevated relative to the offshore as a consequence of both high TA input from Mississippi River and biological drawdown of CO2. A dominant factor controlling Omega(aragonite) distribution in offshore waters with relatively constant temperatures was fCO(2), with higher supersaturation occurring in areas with low fCO(2).

AB Utilizing a sequential extraction technique this study provides the first quantitative analysis on the abundance of sedimentary phosphorus and its partitioning between chemically distinguishable phases in sediments of the Bering Sea, the Chukchi Sea and the Mackenzie River Delta in the western Arctic Ocean. Total sedimentary phosphorus (TSP) was fractionated into five operationally defined phases: (1) adsorbed inorganic and exchangeable organic phosphorus, (2) Fe-bound inorganic phosphorus, (3) authigenic carbonate fluorapatite, biogenic apatite and calcium carbonate-bound inorganic and organic phosphorus, (4) detrital apatite, and (5) refractory organic phosphorus. TSP concentrations in surface sediments increased from the Chukchi Sea (18 mu mol g(-1) of dried sediments) to the Bering Sea (22 mu mol g(-1)) and to the Mackenzie River Delta (29 mu mol g(-1)). Among the five pools, detrital apatite phosphorus of igneous or metamorphic origin represents the largest fraction (similar to 43%) of TSP. The second largest pool is the authigenic carbonate fluorapatite, biogenic apatite as well as CaCO(3) associated phosphorus (similar to 24% of TSP), followed by the Fe-bound inorganic phosphorus, representing similar to 20% of TSP. The refractory organic P accounts for similar to 10% of TSP and the readily exchangeable adsorbed P accounts for only 3.5% of TSP. Inorganic phosphorus dominates all of phosphorus pools, accounting for an average of 87% of the TSP. Relatively high sedimentary organic carbon and total nitrogen contents and low delta(13)C values in the Mackenzie River Delta together with the dominance of detrital apatite in the TSP demonstrate the importance of riverine inputs in governing the abundance and speciation of sedimentary phosphorus in the Arctic coastal sediments.

AB The health effects of the flame retardant polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in fish are not well understood. To determine the potential effects of this ubiquitous contaminant class on fish health, juvenile subyearling Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) were fed a diet that reflected the PBDE congeners found in the stomach contents of subyearling Chinook salmon collected from the highly urbanized and industrialized lower Willamette River in the Columbia River Basin of North America. The diet, consisting of five PBDE congeners (BDE-47, BDE-99, BDE-100, BDE-153 and BDE-154), was fed to the salmon at 2% of their body weight in food per day for 40 days. Two concentrations of the diet (1 x and 10x PBDE) were fed to the salmon. The 1x PBDE diet reflected the concentration of PBDEs (190 ng PBDEs/g food) found in the stomach contents of juvenile subyearling Chinook salmon; the 10x diet was prepared at 10 times that concentration. The fish were then exposed to the marine bacterial pathogen Listonella anguillarum to assess susceptibility to infectious disease. juvenile Chinook salmon fed the 1x PBDE diet were more susceptible to L. anguillarum than salmon fed the control diet. This suggests that juvenile salmonids in the lower Willamette River exposed to PBDEs may be at greater risk for disease than nonexposed juvenile salmonids. In contrast, salmon that consumed the 10x PBDE diet were not more susceptible to the pathogen than salmon fed the control diet. The mechanisms for the dichotomous results observed in disease susceptibility between salmon fed the 1x and 10x PBDE diets are currently not known but have also been observed in other species exposed to PBDEs with respect to immune function.

AB The annual migration of bowhead whales (Balaena mysticetus) past Barrow, Alaska, has provided subsistence hunting to Inupiat for centuries. Bowheads recurrently feed on aggregations of zooplankton prey near Barrow in autumn. The mechanisms that form these aggregations, and the associations between whales and oceanography, were investigated using field sampling, retrospective analysis, and traditional knowledge interviews. Oceanographic and aerial surveys were conducted near Barrow during August and September in 2005 and 2006. Multiple water masses were observed, and close coupling between water mass type and biological characteristics was noted. Short-term variability in hydrography was associated with changes in wind speed and direction that profoundly affected plankton taxonomic composition. Aggregations of ca. 50-100 bowhead whales were observed in early September of both years at locations consistent with traditional knowledge. Retrospective analyses of records for 1984-2004 also showed that annual aggregations of whales near Barrow were associated with wind speed and direction. Euphausiids and copepods appear to be upwelled onto the Beaufort Sea shelf during E or SE winds. A favorable feeding environment is produced when these plankton are retained and concentrated on the shelf by the prevailing westward Beaufort Sea shelf currents that converge with the Alaska Coastal Current flowing to the northeast along the eastern edge of Barrow Canyon.

AB Aerial surveys for bowhead whales were conducted in conjunction with oceanographic sampling near Barrow, Alaska, in late summer of 2005 and 2006. In 2005, 145 whales were seen, mostly in two distinct aggregations: one (ca. 40 whales) in deep water in Barrow Canyon and the other (ca. 70 whales) in very shallow (< 10 m) water just seaward of the barrier islands. Feeding behaviours observed in the latter group included whales lying on their sides with mouths agape and groups of 5-10 whales swimming synchronously in turbid water. In 2006, 78 bowheads were seen, with ca. 40 whales feeding in dispersed groups of 3-11 whales: Feeding behaviours observed included surface skimming, echelon swimming, and synchronous diving and surfacing. Surfacing behaviour included head lunges by single animals and groups of 2-4 whales. Of 29 whales harvested at Barrow, 24 had been feeding. Euphausiids were the dominant prey in 2006 (10 of 13 stomachs), but not in 2005 (4 of 11 stomachs). Copepods were the dominant prey in the stomachs of three whales harvested near Barrow Canyon in 2005. Mysiids were the dominant prey in four stomachs, isopods in two, and amphipods in one although these taxa were not routinely captured during plankton sampling conducted in the weeks prior to the autumn harvest.

AB Governmental entities are responsible for managing and conserving large numbers of lake, river, and wetland ecosystems that can be addressed only rarely on a case-by-case basis. We present a system for predictive classification modeling, grounded in the theoretical foundation of landscape limnology, that creates a tractable number of ecosystem classes to which management actions may be tailored. We demonstrate our system by applying two types of predictive classification modeling approaches to develop nutrient criteria for eutrophication management in 1998 north temperate lakes. Our predictive classification system promotes the effective management of multiple ecosystems across broad geographic scales by explicitly connecting management and conservation goals to the classification modeling approach, considering multiple spatial scales as drivers of ecosystem dynamics, and acknowledging the hierarchical structure of freshwater ecosystems. Such a system is critical for adaptive management of complex mosaics of freshwater ecosystems and for balancing competing needs for ecosystem services in a changing world.

AB Data collected during the SHEBA and CASES-99 field programs are employed to examine the flux-gradient relationship for wind speed and temperature in the stably stratified boundary layer. The gradient-based and flux-based similarity functions are assessed in terms of the Richardson number Ri and the stability parameter z/I >(*), z being height and I >(*) the local Obukhov length. The resulting functions are expressed in an analytical form, which is essentially unaffected by self-correlation, when thermal stratification is strong. Turbulence within the stably stratified boundary layer is classified into four regimes: "nearly-neutral" (0 < z/I >(*) < 0.02), "weakly-stable" (0.02 < z/I >(*) < 0.6), "very-stable" (0.6 < z/I >(*) < 50), and "extremely-stable" (z/I >(*) > 50). The flux-based similarity functions for gradients are constant in "nearly-neutral" conditions. In the "very-stable" regime, the dimensionless gradients are exponential, and proportional to (z/I >(*))(3/5). The existence of scaling laws in "extremely-stable" conditions is doubtful. The Prandtl number Pr decreases from 0.9 in nearly-neutral conditions and to about 0.7 in the very-stable regime. The necessary condition for the presence of steady-state turbulence is Ri < 0.7.

AB The United States is merging its two polar-orbiting operational environmental satellite programs operated by the Department of Commerce and the Department of Defense into a single system, which is called the National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS). During the next decade, NPOESS will provide global operational data to meet many of the needs of weather forecasters, climate researchers, and global decision makers for remotely sensed Earth science data and global environmental monitoring. The NPOESS Preparatory Project (NPP) will be launched in 2011 as a precursor to NPOESS to reduce final development risks for NPOESS and to provide continuity of global imaging and atmospheric sounding data from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Earth Observing System (EOS) missions. Beginning in 2014, NPOESS spacecraft will be launched into an afternoon orbit and in 2016 into an early-morning orbit to provide significantly improved operational capabilities and benefits to satisfy critical civil and national security requirements for space-based, remotely sensed environmental data. The European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) Meteorological Operation (MetOp) spacecraft will complement NPOESS in a midmorning orbit. The joint constellation will provide global coverage with a data refresh rate of approximately four hours. NPOESS will observe more phenomena simultaneously from space and deliver a data volume significantly greater than its operational predecessors with substantially improved data delivery to users. Higher-resolution (spatial and spectral) and more accurate imaging and atmospheric sounding data will enable improvements in short-to medium-range weather forecasts. Multispectral and hyperspectral instruments on NPOESS will provide global imagery and sounding products useful to the forecaster that are complementary to those available from geostationary satellites. NPOESS will support the operational needs of meteorological, oceanographic, environmental, climatic, and space environmental remote sensing programs and provide continuity of data for climate researchers. This article that describes NPOESS was completed and accepted for publication prior to the White House decision in February 2010 ordering a major restructuring of the NPOESS program. The Department of Commerce will now assume primary responsibility for the afternoon polar-orbiting operational environmental satellite orbit and the Department of Defense will take primary responsibility for the early morning orbit. However, NPP, as described in this article, is still scheduled to be launched in 2011. Several of the instruments and program elements described in this article are also likely to be carried forward into future U. S. polar-orbiting operational environmental satellite missions.

AB To better understand variability in weather and climate, it is vital to address past atmospheric circulation. This need requires meteorological information not just from the surface but also at upper levels. Current global upper-level datasets only reach back to the 1940s or 1950s and do not cover some important periods in the first half of the twentieth century. Extending the observational record is therefore considered important in order to analyze climate variability in the past and verify global climate models used to predict future climate change. Although earlier upper-air data from platforms such as radio-sondes, aircraft, pilot balloons, registering balloons, and kites are available from various sources, no systematic compilation and quality assessment of upper-level data prior to the International Geophysical Year (1957/58) has ever been performed. Here we present the Comprehensive Historical Upper-Air Network (CHUAN). It is a consistent global historical upper-air dataset that has been derived from heterogeneous data available from various sources as well as from newly digitized data. This paper describes the CHUAN dataset, the metadata, the quality control procedures, and the relationship to existing datasets. Some examples are given of its usefulness for analyzing weather and climate during the first half of the twentieth century. The CHUAN dataset comprises 3987 station records worldwide or about 16.4 million profiles (of which 12.6 million are before 1958 and 5.3 million, primarily from pilot balloons, are before 1948). A monthly mean version can be downloaded from the World Wide Web (www.historicalupperair.org).

TI AIRCRAFT-INDUCED HOLE PUNCH AND CANAL CLOUDS Inadvertent Cloud Seeding
SO BULLETIN OF THE AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY
LA English
DT Article
ID ICE PARTICLES APIPS; PENETRATIONS; CONTRAILS
AB The production of holes and channels in altocumulus clouds by two commercial turboprop aircraft is documented for the first time. An unprecedented dataset combining in situ measurements from microphysical probes with remote sensing measurements from cloud radar and lidar operating from the National Science Foundation (NSF)/NCAR C-130 aircraft, as well as ground-based NOAA and Colorado State University (CSU) radars, is used to describe the radar/lidar properties of a hole punch cloud and channel and the ensuing ice microphysical properties and structure of the ice column that subsequently developed. Ice particle production by commercial turboprop aircraft climbing through clouds much warmer than the regions where contrails are produced has the potential to significantly modify the cloud microphysical properties and effectively seed them under some conditions. Jet aircraft may also be producing hole punch clouds when flying through altocumulus with supercooled droplets at heights lower than their normal cruise altitudes, where contrails can form. Commercial aircraft can therefore generate ice and affect the clouds at temperatures as much as 30 degrees C warmer than the -40 degrees C contrail formation threshold temperature.

AB The Tuolumne River originates at elevations over 3,900 meters in Yosemite Valley, California along the Western Sierra and is the largest tributary to the San Joaquin River of the Central Valley, draining an area of approximately 2,500 km(2). The Tuolumne River was once home to a healthy population of spring and fall-run Chinook salmon, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, the spring-run likely ascending upstream as high as the boundary of Yosemite National Park, at an elevation of nearly 760 meters. Although historical records of the presence of Central Valley steelhead, Oncorhynchus mykiss are poor, they were believed to be well distributed in the Tuolumne River and its smaller tributaries. A series of dams for water supply, hydroelectric generation, and flood control were constructed starting in the 1890s. These dams cut off access by native anadromous fish to as much as 90 h. of their spawning habitat. In 1996 the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission issued an order amending a 1964 license, which included a 1995 Settlement Agreement. The 1995 Settlement Agreement designated a Technical Advisory Committee to oversee implementation of the agreement and its requirements. A review of the hydrographs of the Tuolumne River during the first 8 years under the Settlement Agreement revealed they were significantly different in timing and magnitude than recommended by resource agencies. This paper discusses management implications of the Settlement Agreement, and also offers recommendations for improvement.

AB In April 2007 and March 2008 a midwater-trawl survey of the mesopelagic zone was conducted over the continental slope of the Gulf of Alaska between Kodiak Island and Prince William Sound. A total of 59 hauls were made at 6 sample stations during both day and night at target depths of 250, 500, and 1000 m using an open-mouth net. Fifty-two species of fishes representing 29 families were identified during the course of this survey. The Myctophidae was the most diverse as well as the most abundant family encountered, followed by the Bathylagidae, Melamphaidae, and Stomiidae. The most common species caught was Stenobrachius leucopsarus, which accounted for nearly half of the fish, and the 10 most abundant species accounted for over 90% of all specimens. Myctophids were found in every haul and the families Bathylagidae, Microstomatidae, Melamphaidae, Macrouridae, Stomiidae, and Scopelarchidae were present in more than half of the hauls.

AB Fishery-dependent catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE) derived indices of stock abundance are commonly used in fishery stock assessment models and may be significantly biased due to changes in catchability over time. Factors causing time-varying catchability include density-dependent habitat selection and technology improvements such as global positioning systems. In this study, we develop a novel multispecies method to estimate Bayesian priors for catchability functional parameters. This method uses the deviance information criterion to select a parsimonious functional model for catchability among 10 hierarchical and measurement error models. The parsimonious model is then applied to multispecies data, while excluding one species at a time, to develop Bayesian priors that can be used for each excluded species. We use this method to estimate catchability trends and density dependence for seven stocks and four gears in the Gulf of Mexico by comparing CPUE-derived index data with abundance estimates from virtual population analysis calibrated with fishery-independent indices. Catchability density dependence estimates mean that CPUE indices are hyperstable, implying that stock rebuilding in the Gulf may be progressing faster than previously estimated. This method for estimating Bayesian priors can provide a parsimonious method to compensate for time-varying catchability and uses multispecies fishery data in a novel manner.

AB Similar to coastal marine systems, Lake Erie exhibits open-water river plumes that differ physicochemically and biologically from surrounding waters. To explore their importance to yellow perch (Perca flavescens) recruitment in western Lake Erie, we tested two related hypotheses: (i) contributions of larvae to the juvenile stage (when recruitment is set) would be greater from nutrient-rich Maumee River plume (MRP) waters than from less-productive non-MRP waters; and (ii) warmer temperatures and higher zooplankton (prey) production in the MRP (versus non-MRP waters) would underlie this expected recruitment difference through "bottom-up'' effects on larval growth. Peak larval yellow perch density was 10-fold and 5-fold less in the MRP than in non-MRP waters during 2006 and 2007, respectively. However, otolith microchemical analyses demonstrated that disproportionately more juvenile recruits emanated from the MRP than from non-MRP waters during both years. Although temperature and zooplankton production were higher in the MRP than in non-MRP waters during both years, observed recruitment differences were not definitively linked to bottom-up effects. Top-down effects also appeared important, as high turbidity in the MRP may offer a survival advantage by reducing predation mortality on larvae. Our research highlights the need to better understand biophysical coupling in freshwater systems and demonstrates how stochastic tributary inputs can influence fish recruitment.

AB We estimate the stock size of bocaccio (Sebastes paucispinis) in the Southern California Bight based on the production of larvae. Area-weighted total length compositions of preflexion larvae in 2002 and 2003 were determined from ichthyoplankton survey data. Larval length-to-age transition matrices were estimated from data derived from the enumeration of daily otolith increments. In combination, these results were used to estimate daily rates of larval production and mortality during surveys conducted in those years. Daily rates of larval production were expanded to annual production rates using information developed from the long-term seasonal distribution of larvae in CalCOFI surveys. Total annual larval production was translated to total spawning biomass by calculation of the female population weight-specific fecundity derived from a length-based life table analysis of adult reproductive parameters. Our results indicate that there were 6953 - 10 656 metric tons of bocaccio biomass (males and females >16 cm fork length) in the Southern California Bight during the survey years, which agrees with biomass estimates from a traditional stock assessment. Unique and problematic aspects of the reproductive biology of Sebastes are discussed, including multiple spawning, weight-specific fecundity that depends on size, and bias in fecundity data gathered from vitellogenic ovaries.

HURRICANE ACTIVITY; OCEAN; MODEL; VARIABILITY; MECHANISMS; PACIFIC
AB Seawater property changes in the North Atlantic Ocean affect the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC), which transports warm water northward from the upper ocean and contributes to the temperate climate of Europe, as well as influences climate globally. Previous observational studies have focused on salinity and freshwater variability in the sinking region of the North Atlantic, since it is believed that a freshening North Atlantic basin can slow down or halt the flow of the AMOC. Here we use available data to show the importance of how density patterns over the upper ocean of the North Atlantic affect the strength of the AMOC. For the long-term trend, the upper ocean of the subpolar North Atlantic is becoming cooler and fresher, whereas the subtropical North Atlantic is becoming warmer and saltier. On a multidecadal timescale, the upper ocean of the North Atlantic has generally been warmer and saltier since 1995. The heat and salt content in the subpolar North Atlantic lags that in the subtropical North Atlantic by about 8-9 years, suggesting a lower latitude origin for the temperature and salinity anomalies. Because of the opposite effects of temperature and salinity on density for both long-term trend and multidecadal timescales, these variations do not result in a density reduction in the subpolar North Atlantic for slowing down the AMOC. Indeed, the variations in the meridional density gradient between the subpolar and subtropical North Atlantic Ocean suggest that the AMOC has become stronger over the past five decades. These observed results are supported by and consistent with some oceanic reanalysis products.

The signaling messages exchanged between the network entities, namely Mobile Nodes (MNs) and Points of Service (PoSs) must be delivered in a timely and reliable manner. In this document, we analyze the current proposed solutions to transport MIH messages and review their limitations. We also propose an efficient solution using the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP). The solution uses SCTP's multihoming and multistreaming capabilities and is optimized by using the MIH services.

AB Many organizations are facing enormous challenges today in trying to integrate a wide range of software systems. These systems span the functional areas within an organization, as well as, the multitude of organizations and countries involved in a business process. To address the needs of information integration a number of organizations are developing standards to define the information units that will be shared. Many of these standards are an application of the XML family of software standards, hence the proliferation of content standards or xML standards. To ensure quality in the emerging content standards, the organizations producing them also define guidelines for how the XML standards, especially XML Schema, will be used in a given context. These guidelines are published as sets of Naming and Design Rules (NDR). Unfortunately, a single set of these rules do not meet the needs of the wide range of standards being developed. Moreover, the guidelines are being published as prose (e.g., English text) rather than in a computational form.
To address these shortcomings and allow for the more rapid creation of high quality NDR, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is developing a set of tools to facilitate NOR development. The tools support the development of executable tests to support NDR, collaboration on the use of those tests, the grouping of tests into testing profiles, as well as, the association of NDR documentation with executable tests. The grouping mechanism allows rules to be selected from a larger set for use in a particular context. By also providing for the association of guidelines with executable tests, a testing suite can be quickly assembled. Furthermore, the pool of guidelines and their tests can be collaboratively developed, thereby leveraging resources and creating higher quality test sets in the end.
The report describes a framework for tools to support the development of NOR for XML Schema. The tools aid in producing high quality XML schemas using a standards-based approach to information integration. The tools are based on open standards, making them highly configurable and reusable. The three primary functional areas of the tools described are authoring, testing, and sharing. Published by Elsevier By.

AB Weddell seals (Leptonychotes weddellii Lesson) at White Island, Antarctica form a small, completely enclosed, natural population hypothesized to be of recent origin, likely founded by individuals from nearby Erebus Bay. This population constitutes an ideal model to document a founder event and ensuing genetic drift, with implications for conservation. Here we combined historical accounts, census and tagging data since the late 1960s, and genetic data (41 microsatellite loci and mitochondrial DNA sequences) from 84 individuals representing nearly all individuals present between 1990 and 2000 to investigate the history of the founding of the White Island population, document its population dynamics and evaluate possible future threats. We fully resolved parental relationships over three overlapping generations. Cytonuclear disequilibrium among the first generation suggested that it comprised the direct descendants of a founding group. We estimated that the White Island population was founded by a small group of individuals that accessed the island during a brief break in the surrounding sea ice in the mid-1950s, consistent with historical accounts. Direct and indirect methods of calculating effective population size were highly congruent and suggested a minimum founding group consisting of three females and two males. The White Island population showed altered reproductive dynamics compared to Erebus Bay, including highly skewed sex ratio, documented inbred mating events, and the oldest known reproducing Weddell seals. A comparison with the putative source population showed that the White Island population has an effective inbreeding coefficient (F (e)) of 0.29. Based on a pedigree analysis including the hypothesized founding group, 86% of the individuals for whom parents were known had inbreeding coefficients ranging 0.09-0.31. This high level of inbreeding was correlated with reduced pup survival. Seals at White Island therefore face the combined effects of low genetic variability, lack of immigration, and inbreeding depression. Ultimately, this study provides evidence of the effects of natural isolation on a large, long-lived vertebrate and can provide clues to the potential effects of anthropogenic-caused isolation of similar taxa.

AB Mitochondrial DNA control region sequences were analyzed to investigate population structure and possible migratory links of common minke whales (Balaenoptera acutorostrata) in two ocean basins: western South Atlantic (WSA) and western South Pacific (WSP). The results of several different phylogenetic estimations consistently grouped all haplotypes but one (n = 1) from these two ocean basins into two separate clades. South and North Atlantic haplotypes were more closely related to each other than either was to haplotypes from the WSP. The interpopulation genetic distance between WSA and WSP whales was similar to that reported between North Pacific and North Atlantic common minke whales (0.0234). The migration rate between the two ocean basins was estimated at near-zero using MDIV. The genetic evidence presented here was consistent with the hypothesis of migratory links among Brazil, Chilean Patagonia and the Antarctic Peninsula, and between low-latitude and Antarctic waters of the WSP. The results suggest multiple populations of common minke whales in the Southern Hemisphere, which may have conservation as well as taxonomic implications. Our single locus results should be corroborated by additional analyses in a larger number of samples and at more genetic markers.

AB Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) are characterized by the presence of light-dependent corals and associated communities that are typically found at depths ranging from 30 to 40 m and extending to over 150 m in tropical and subtropical regions. The dominant communities providing structural habitat in the mesophotic zone can be comprised of coral, sponge, and algal species. Because working in this depth range is constrained by traditional SCUBA limits, less is known about corals and associated organisms there compared to shallower coral communities. Following the first-ever gathering of international scientists to review and discuss existing knowledge of MCEs, this issue focuses on the ecological characterization, geomorphology, and concept of MCEs as refugia for shallow-water populations. The review and research papers comprising this special issue reflect the current scientific understanding of these ecosystems and the underlying mechanisms that regulate them, as well as potential resource management implications. It is important to understand the value and role of mesophotic coral ecosystems in tropical and subtropical regions as these areas face increasing environmental change and human impacts.

AB Given the global degradation of shallow-water coral reef ecosystems resulting from anthropogenic activities, mesophotic coral reef ecosystems (MCEs) are gaining attention because they are generally considered a de facto refuge for shallow-water species. Despite their inferred importance, MCEs remain one of the most understudied reef habitats, and basic information on the taxonomic composition, depth range, habitat preferences, and abundance and distribution of MCE taxa is scarce. The processes that structure these communities are virtually unknown. Here, we provide a review of what is known about MCEs community ecology and outline essential gaps in our knowledge of these deeper water coral reef ecosystems. The primary findings of this review are as follows: (1) many dominant shallow-water species are absent from MCEs; (2) compared to shallow reefs, herbivores are relatively scarce, perhaps due to limited habitat complexity at depth; (3) changes in the dominant photosynthetic taxa with depth suggest adaptation and specialization to depth; (4) evidence regarding the importance of heterotrophy for zooxanthellate corals at depth is conflicting and inconclusive; and (5) decreased light with depth, but not temperature, appears to be the primary factor limiting the depth of MCEs. The majority of research done to date has been performed in the Caribbean, where some generalization can be made about the community structure and distribution of MCEs. The larger and more diverse Indo-Pacific remains largely unexplored with no apparent generalizations from the few sites that have been comparatively well studied. For MCEs, large gaps in knowledge remain on fundamental aspects of ecology. Advanced technologies must be harnessed and logistical challenges overcome to close this knowledge gap and empower resource managers to make informed decisions on conserving shallow-water and mesophotic coral reef ecosystems.

AB Coral reef banks may form an important component of mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) in the Caribbean, but remain poorly explored relative to shallower reefs and mesophotic habitats on slopes and walls. Consequently, the processes structuring mesophotic coral reef communities are not well understood, particularly the role of disturbance. A large and regionally important mesophotic system, the Hind Bank Marine Conservation District (MCD), St. Thomas, USVI, was systematically surveyed. Data were used to construct a comprehensive benthic habitat map for the MCD, describe the abiotic and biotic components of the benthos among habitats, and investigate patterns of coral health among habitats. Two-thirds of the MCD (23.6 km(2)) was found to be dense coral reef (Coral Cover = 24.1%) dominated by the Montastraea annularis species complex. Coral reef ecosystems were topographically complex, but could be classified into distinct habitat types, including high coral banks (35.8% of the MCD) and two large novel coral reef habitat types corresponding to an extremely flat basin (18%) and a highly rugose hillock basin (6.5%), containing thousands of coral knolls (2-10 m high). An extreme disease event with undescribed signs of mortality occurred on 47% of coral reefs and reached a high prevalence in affected areas (42.4% +/- A 6.3 SE, N = 26). The disease was significantly clustered in the basin habitats of the western MCD (global Moran's I = 0.32, P < 0.01). Observations of the spatial pattern suggested that the driver was specific to the basin habitats and may have been caused by a coherent abiotic event.

AB This paper presents a general review of the distribution of mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) in relationship to geomorphology in US waters. It was specifically concerned with the depth range of 30-100 m, where more than 186,000 km(2) of potential seafloor area was identified within the US Gulf of Mexico/Florida, Caribbean, and main Hawaiian Islands. The geomorphology of MCEs was largely inherited from a variety of pre-existing structures of highly diverse origins, which, in combination with environmental stress and physical controls, restrict the distribution of MCEs. Sea-level history, along with depositional and erosional processes, played an integral role in formation of MCE settings. However, mapping the distribution of both potential MCE topography/substrate and existing MCE habitat is only beginning. Mapping techniques pertinent to understanding morphology and MCE distributions are discussed throughout this paper. Future investigations need to consider more cost-effective and remote methods (such as autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and acoustics) in order to assess the distribution and extent of MCE habitat. Some understanding of the history of known MCEs through coring studies would help understand their initiation and response to environmental change over time, essential for assessing how they may be impacted by future environmental change.

AB Efforts to map coral reef ecosystems in the Hawaiian Archipelago using optical imagery have revealed the presence of numerous scleractinian, zoothanthellate coral reefs at depths of 30-130+ m, most of which were previously undiscovered. Such coral reefs and their associated communities have been recently defined as mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs). Several types of MCEs are found in Hawai'i, each of which dominates a different depth range and is characterized by a unique pattern of coral community structure and colony morphology. Although MCEs are documented near both ends of the archipelago and on many of the islands in between, the maximum depth and prevalence of MCEs in Hawai'i were found to decline with increasing latitude. The Main Hawaiian Islands (MHI) had significantly deeper and greater percentages of scleractinian coral, and peaks in cover of both scleractinian corals and macroalgae occurred within depth bins 20 m deeper than in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI). Across the archipelago, as depth increased the combined percentage of living cover of mega benthic taxa declined sharply with increasing depth below 70 m, despite the widespread availability of hard substrate.

AB An investigation into the insular shelf and submerged banks surrounding Tutuila, American Samoa, was conducted using a towed camera system. Surveys confirmed the presence of zooxanthellate scleractinian coral communities at mesophotic depths (30-110 m). Quantification of video data, separated into 10-m-depth intervals, yielded a vertical, landward-to-seaward and horizontal distribution of benthic assemblages. Hard substrata composed a majority of bottom cover in shallow water, whereas unconsolidated sediments dominated the deep insular shelf and outer reef slopes. Scleractinian coral cover was highest atop mid-shelf patch reefs and on the submerged bank tops in depths of 30-50 m. Macroalgal cover was highest near shore and on reef slopes approaching the bank tops at 50-60 m. Percent cover of scleractinian coral colony morphology revealed a number of trends. Encrusting corals belonging to the genus Montipora were most abundant at shallow depths with cover gradually decreasing as depth increased. Massive corals, such as Porites spp., displayed a similar trend. Percent cover values of plate-like corals formed a normal distribution, with the highest cover observed in the 60-70 m depth range. Shallow plate-like corals belonged mostly to the genus Acropora and appeared to be significantly prevalent on the northeastern and eastern banks. Deeper plate-like corals on the reef slopes were dominated by Leptoseris, Pachyseris, or Montipora genera. Branching coral cover was high in the 80-110 m depth range.

AB The southeastern Arabian Sea (SEAS), located in the Indian Ocean warm pool, is a key-region of the regional climate system. It is suspected to play an important role in the dynamics of the Asian summer monsoon system. The present study reports the salient features derived from a newly harvested observational dataset consisting of repeated fortnightly XBT transects in the SEAS over the period 2002-2008. The fortnightly resolution of such a multi-year record duration is unprecedented in this part of the world ocean and provides a unique opportunity to examine the observed variability of the near-surface thermal structure over a wide spectrum, from intra-seasonal to interannual timescales. We find that most of the variability is trapped in the thermocline, taking the form of upwelling and downwelling motions of the thermal stratification. The seasonal variations are consistent with past studies and confirm the role of the monsoonal wind forcing through linear baroclinic waves (coastally-trapped Kelvin and planetary Rossby waves). Sub-seasonal variability takes the form of anomalous events lasting a few weeks to a few months and occurs at two preferred timescales: in the 30-110 day band, within the frequency domain of the Madden-Julian oscillation and in the 120-180 day band. While this sub-seasonal variability appears fairly barotropic in the offshore region, the sign of the anomaly in the upper thermocline is opposite to that in its lower part on many occasions along the coast. Our dataset also reveals relatively large interannual temperature variations of about 1 degrees C from 50 to 200 m depth that reflect a considerable year-to-year variability of the magnitude of both upwelling and downwelling events. This study clearly demonstrates the necessity for sustained long-term temperature measurements in the SEAS. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

increase in DIC in the Atlantic Ocean

AB Data from the first systematic survey of inorganic carbon parameters on a global scale, the GEOSECS program, are compared with those collected during WOCE/JGOFS to study the changes in carbon and other geochemical properties, and anthropogenic CO2 increase in the Atlantic Ocean from the 1970s to the early 1990s. This first data-based estimate of CO2 increase over this period was accomplished by adjusting the GEOSECS data set to be consistent with recent high-quality carbon data. Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) and extended Multiple Linear Regression (eMLR) analyses to these carbon data are applied by regressing DIC with potential temperature, salinity, AOU, silica, and PO4 in three latitudinal regions for the western and eastern basins in the Atlantic Ocean. The results from MLR (and eMLR provided in parentheses) indicate that the mean anthropogenic CO2 uptake rate in the western basin is 0.70 (0.53) mol m(-2) yr(-1) for the region north of 15 degrees N; 0.53 (0.36) mol m(-2) yr(-1) for the equatorial region between 15 degrees N and 15 degrees S; and 0.83 (0.35) mol m(-2) yr(-1) in the South Atlantic south of 15 degrees S. For the eastern basin an estimate of 0.57 (0.45) mol m(-2) yr(-1) is obtained for the equatorial region, and 0.28 (0.34) mol m(-2) yr(-1) for the South Atlantic south of 15 degrees S. The results of using eMLR are systematically lower than those from MLR method in the western basin. The anthropogenic CO2 increase is also estimated in the upper thermocline from salinity normalized DIC after correction for AOU along the isopycnal surfaces. For these depths the results are consistent with the CO2 uptake rates derived from both MLR and eMLR methods. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

AB Objectives. Determination of material and fractographic properties of a dental indirect resin composite material.
Methods. A resin composite (Paradigm, 3M-ESPE, MN) was characterized by strength, static elastic modulus, Knoop hardness, fracture toughness and edge toughness. Fractographic analyses of the broken bar surfaces was accomplished with a combination of optical and SEM techniques, and included determination of the type and size of the failure origins, and fracture mirror and branching constants.
Results. The flexure test mean strength +/- standard deviation was 145 +/- 17MPa, and edge toughness, T(e), was 172 +/- 12 N/mm. Knoop hardness was load dependent, with a plateau at 0.99 +/- 0.02 GPa. Mirrors in the bar specimens were measured with difficulty, resulting in a mirror constant of approximately 2.6 MPa m(1/2). Fracture in the bar specimens initiated at equiaxed material flaws that had different filler concentrations that sometimes were accompanied by partial microcracks. Using the measured flaw sizes, which ranged from 35 to 100 mu m in size, and using estimates of the stress intensity shape factors, fracture toughness was estimated to be 1.1 +/- 0.2 MPa m(1/2).
Significance. Coupling the flexure tests with fractographic examination enabled identification of the intrinsic strength limiting flaws. The same techniques could be useful in determining if clinical restorations of similar materials fail from the same causes. The existence of a strong load-dependence of the Knoop hardness of the resin composite is not generally mentioned in the literature, and is important for material comparisons and wear evaluation studies. Finally, the edge toughness test was found promising as a quantitative measure of resistance to edge chipping, an important failure mode in this class of materials.

AB Fragments of deep-ocean tidal records up to 3 days long belong to the same functional sub-space, regardless of the record's origin. The tidal sub-space basis can be derived via Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) analysis of a tidal record of a single buoy. Decomposition of a tsunami buoy record in a functional space of tidal EOFs presents an efficient tool for a short-term tidal forecast, as well as for an accurate tidal removal needed for early tsunami detection and quantification [Tolkova, E., 2009. Principal component analysis of tsunami buoy record: tide prediction and removal. Dyn. Atmos. Oceans 46 (1-4), 62-82] EOF analysis of a time series, however, assumes that the time series represents a stationary (in the weak sense) process. In the present work, a modification of one-dimensional EOF formalism not restricted to stationary processes is introduced. With this modification, the EOF-based de-tiding/forecasting technique can be interpreted in terms of a signal passage through a filter bank, which is unique for the sub-space spanned by the EOFs. This interpretation helps to identify a harmonic content of a continuous process whose fragments are decomposed by given EOFs. In particular, seven EOFs and a constant function are proved to decompose 1-day-long tidal fragments at any location. Filtering by projection into a reduced sub-space of the above EOFs is capable of isolating a tsunami wave within a few millimeter accuracy from the first minutes of the tsunami appearance on a tsunami buoy record, and is reliable in the presence of data gaps. EOFs with similar to 3-day duration (a reciprocal of either tidal band width) allow short-term (24.75 h in advance) tidal predictions using the inherent structure of a tidal signal. The predictions do not require any a priori knowledge of tidal processes at a particular location, except for recent 49.5 h long recordings at the location. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.

DE Metadata; XML; XQuery; Virtual observatory
AB The recent Heliophysics Virtual Observatory (VxO) effort involves the development of separate observatories with a low overlap in physical domain or area of scientific specialization and a high degree of overlap in metadata management needs. VxOware is a content and metadata management system. While it is intended for use by a VxO specifically, it can also be used by any entity that manages structured metadata. VxOware has many features of a content management system and extensively uses the W3C recommendations for XML (Extensible Markup Language), XQuery (XML Query), and XSLT (Extensible Style Sheet Language Transformations). VxOware has features such as system and user administration, search, user-editable content, version tracking, and a wiki. Besides virtual observatories, the intended user-base of VxOware includes a group or an instrument team that has developed a directory structure of data files and would like to make this data, and its associated metadata, available in the virtual observatory network. One of the most powerful features of VxOware is the ability to link any type of object in the observatory to other objects and the ability for every object to be tagged.

AB We developed surrogate mixture models to represent the thermophysical properties of two samples of aviation turbine fuel Jet-A. One sample is a composite of numerous batches from multiple manufacturers and is considered to be a representative fuel. A second sample, while still meeting the fuel specifications, contained a lower than normal aromatic content and was selected to demonstrate some of the compositional variability seen among different batches of Jet-A fuel. A surrogate for each fuel was developed with a procedure that incorporated experimental data for the density, sound speed, viscosity, thermal conductivity, cetane number, and the volatility (as indicated by advanced distillation curves) for samples of the two fuels. The surrogates are simple mixtures containing eight or fewer components, yet they can represent with low uncertainty the thermophysical properties of actual real fluids that are very complex mixtures of hundreds of components.

AB Currently, there is a desire to extend or enhance petroleum-derived diesel fuel with biodiesel fuel. Biodiesel fuel is a renewable, biomass-derived fluid that is biodegradable and nontoxic and can impart increased lubricity to petroleum-derived diesel fuels. In this paper, we analyze the properties of two biodiesel fuels produced from different feedstocks by use of the advanced distillation curve (ADC) method. The biodiesel fuels include a soybean-derived biodiesel fuel. SME, and a cuphea-derived biodiesel fuel, CME. Specifically, we present the thermodynamically consistent distillation curves and use the composition channel to characterize the curves in terms of composition and available energy content. This work provides a basis of comparison among these fuels in terms of the fundamental thermophysical properties. This comparison will be critical in determining the applicability and suitability of feedstocks designed for the production and manufacturing of biodiesel fuel to enhance or extend current petroleum-derived diesel fuels.

AB Despite ongoing efforts to develop robust analytical methods for the determination of perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) such as perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) in surface water, comparatively little has been published on method performance, and the environmental distribution of these materials remains poorly described worldwide. In this study, an existing method was improved and applied in a large-scale evaluation of the Upper Mississippi River Basin, one of the largest watersheds in the world. Samples were collected in 2008 in an effort that involved multiple sample sites and collection teams, long-range transport, and storage of up to 4 weeks before analysis. Ninety-four percent of the resulting 177 samples had quantifiable PFC concentrations, with 80% of the individual target compounds below 10 ng/L. The most abundant PFCs were perfluorobutanoic acid (C4; 77% above the limit of quantitation, LOQ), perfluorooctanoic acid (C8; 73%), perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS; 71%), perfluorohexanoic acid (C6; 70%), and perfluoroheptanoic acid (C7; 69%), with the remaining target compounds occurring above the LOQ in less than 50% of the samples. The highest concentrations recorded include C4 at 458 ng/L, PFOS at 245 ng/L, and C8 at 125 ng/L, suggesting various point source inputs within the Basin.

AB Palladized zero-valent iron nanoparticles have been frequently employed to achieve enhanced treatment of halogenated organic compounds; however, no detailed study has been published on their structures, especially the location and distribution of palladium within the nanoparticles. In this work, the structural evolution of palladized nanoscale iron particles (Pd-nZVI, with 1.5 wt % Pd) was examined using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), and X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (XEDS) techniques. The STEM-XEDS technique enables direct visualization of the nanoscale structural and compositional changes of the bimetallic particles. For a freshly made Pd-nZVI sample, the particles consist of a metallic iron core and a thin amorphous oxide shell, and Pd is observed to form 2-5 nm islands decorating the outer surface of the nanoparticles. Upon exposure to water, Pd-nZVI undergoes substantial morphological and structural changes. STEM-XEDS elemental maps show that Pd infiltrates through the oxide layer to the metallic iron interface, which is accompanied by oxidation and outward diffusion of the iron species. Within a 24 h period, Pd is completely buried underneath an extensive iron oxide matrix, and a fraction of the nanoparticles exhibits a hollowed-out morphology with no metallic iron remaining. The microstructural variations observed concur with the reactivity data, which shows that the aged bimetallic particles display an 80% decrease in dechlorination rate of trichloroethene (TCE) compared to that of the fresh particles. These findings shed new light on the function of palladium in hydrodechlorination reactions, nZVI aging and deactivation, and the longevity of Pd-nZVI nanoparticles for in situ remediation.

AB Conazole fungicides are commonly used to prevent fungal growth on turf grass and agricultural crops. As many of these sites are adjacent to coastal waterways and estuaries, there exists the potential for nontarge effects of runoff on marine organisms. This study reports 96 h EC(50) values for four selected conazole fungicides (triadimefon = 5.98 mg/L; triadimenol = 5.51 mg/L; propiconazole = 2.33 mg/L; hexaconazole = 0.91 mg/L) to the model test alga Dunaliella tertiolecta. We further investigated possible mechanisms of toxicity by examining sublethal effects of exposure on cell morphology, osmoregulatory function, and lipid composition. These mechanistic studies revealed that conazole exposure does not inhibit synthesis of the cell's glycerol osmolyte, but does result in an overall increase in cellular volume and total lipid content. Both fungi and chlorophytes rely on ergosterol to maintain membrane structure and fluidity, and we provide evidence that the sterol-inhibiting conazoles may interfere with ergosterol biosynthesis in the cell membrane of Dunaliella. These findings suggest that green algae may be especially susceptible to nontarget effects of sterol-inhibiting fungicides in marine systems.

AB Most exposure assessments for free-ranging cetaceans focus on contaminant concentrations measured in blubber, and few data are available for other tissues or the factors governing contaminant distribution among tissues. The goal of this study was to provide a detailed description of the distribution of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) within the common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) body and assess the role of lipid dynamics in mediating contaminant distribution. Thirteen tissues (brain, blubber, heart, liver. lung, kidney, mammary gland, melon, skeletal muscle, spleen, thyroid, thymus, and testis/uterus) were sampled during necropsy from bottlenose dolphins (n = 4) and analyzed for lipid and 85 POPs, including polychlorinated biphenyls, organochlorine pesticides. and polybrominated diphenyl ethers. Significant correlations between tissue POP concentrations and lipid suggest that distribution of POPs is generally related to tissue lipid content. However, blubber:tissue partition coefficients ranged widely from 0.753 to 6.25, suggesting that contaminant distribution is not entirely lipid-dependent. Tissue-specific and whole-body contaminant burdens confirmed that blubber, the primary site of metabolic lipid storage, is also the primary site for POP accumulation, contributing >90% to the whole-body burdens. Observations also suggest that as lipid mobilizes from blubber, contaminants may redistribute, leading to elevated tissue concentrations. These results suggest that individuals with reduced blubber lipid may be at increased risk for exposure-related health effects. However, this study also provides evidence that the melon, a metabolically inert lipid-rich structure, may serve as an alternate depot for POPs, thus preventing the bulk of blubber contaminants from being directly available to other tissues. This unique physiological adaptation should be taken into consideration when assessing contaminant-related health effects in wild cetacean populations. Environ. Toxicol. Chem. 2010;29:1263-1273.

DE Dynamic gravitational standard; Liquid flow calibration; Water flow

AB We used NIST's primary water flow standard to study the feasibility of accurately determining mass flow rates (m) over dot of water "dynamically", that is from the time derivative of the weight W of the collection tank: (m) over dot(D) = (dW/dt)/g. When data for a constant flow in the range 10 kg/s < (m) over dot(S) < 60 kg/s was averaged over 40 s, the average dynamic flow rate <(m) over dot(D)>, agreed with the static standard (m) over dot(S) within the noise, (<(m) over dot(D)>/(m) over dot(S) - 1) = 0.00015 +/- 0.00033. (The uncertainty is the standard deviation of one measurement.) These results are consistent with arguments that dW/dt is only weakly sensitive to jet entering the collection tank and to the turbulence inside the tank. We conclude that further study of a dynamic flow standard for larger flows is justified. A dynamic standard can use a conventional diverter that is much simpler than the uni-directional diverter with collector/bypass unit that was designed and built for NIST's primary, static standard.

AB Long-term climate data records (CDR) are often constructed using observations made by multiple Earth observing sensors over a broad range of spectra and a large scale in both time and space. These sensors can be of the same or different types operated on the same or different platforms. They can be developed and built with different technologies and are likely operated over different time spans. It has been known that the uncertainty of climate models and data records depends not only on the calibration quality (accuracy and stability) of individual sensors, but also on their calibration consistency across instruments and platforms. Therefore, sensor calibration inter-comparison and validation have become increasingly demanding and will continue to play an important role for a better understanding of the science product quality. This paper provides an overview of different methodologies, which have been successfully applied for sensor calibration inter-comparison. Specific examples using different sensors, including MODIS, AVHRR, and ETM+, are presented to illustrate the implementation of these methodologies.

AB We use inelastic neutron scattering to study the low-energy spin excitations of polycrystalline samples of nonsuperconducting CeFeAsO and superconducting CeFeAsO0.84F0.16. Two sharp dispersionless modes are found at 0.85 and 1.16 meV in CeFeAsO below the Ce antiferromagnetic (AF) ordering temperature of T-N(Ce) similar to 4 K. On warming to above T-N(Ce) similar to 4 K, these two modes become one broad dispersionless mode that disappears just above the Fe ordering temperature T-N(Fe) similar to 140 K. For superconducting CeFeAsO0.84F0.16, where Fe static AF order is suppressed, we find a weakly dispersive mode center at 0.4 meV that may arise from short-range Ce-Ce exchange interactions. Using a Heisenberg model, we simulate powder-averaged Ce spin wave excitations. Our results show that we need both Ce spin wave and crystal electric field excitations to account for the whole spectra of low-energy spin excitations.

AB In a continuing effort to develop suitable methods for the surveillance of harmful algal blooms (HABs) of Karenia brevis using satellite radiometers, a new multi-algorithm method was developed to explore whether improvements in the remote-sensing detection of the Florida Red Tide was possible. A Hybrid Scheme was introduced that sequentially applies the optimized versions of two pre-existing satellite-based algorithms: an Empirical Approach (using water-leaving radiance as a function of chlorophyll concentration) and a Bio-optical Technique (using particulate backscatter along with chlorophyll concentration). The long-term evaluation of the new multi-algorithm method was performed using a multi-year MODIS dataset (2002-2006; during the boreal Summer-Fall periods - July-December) along the Central West Florida Shelf between 25.75 degrees N and 28.25 degrees N. Algorithm validation was done with in situ measurements of the abundances of K. brevis: cell counts >= 1.5 x 10(4) cells I-1 defined a detectable HAB. Encouraging statistical results were derived when either or both algorithms correctly flagged known samples. The majority of the valid match-ups were correctly identified (similar to 80% of both HABs and non-blooming conditions) and few false negatives or false positives were produced (similar to 20% of each). Additionally, most of the HAB-positive identifications in the satellite data were indeed HAB samples (positive predictive value: similar to 70%) and those classified as HAB-negative were almost all non-bloom cases (negative predictive value: similar to 86%). These results demonstrate an excellent detection capability, on average similar to 10% more accurate than the individual algorithms used separately. Thus, the new Hybrid Scheme could become a powerful tool for environmental monitoring of K. brevis blooms, with valuable consequences including leading to the more rapid and efficient use of ships to make in situ measurements of HABs.

AB The exposure of marine mammals to the toxins associated with harmful algae can be lethal. Domoic acid (DA) is a biotoxin produced by the Pseudo-nitzschia group of diatoms many of which are now a common component of the Scottish phytoplankton community (Stobo et al., 2008). DA is a potent excitatory neurotoxin that has caused large-scale mortality of marine mammals. We found harbour seals (Phoca vitulina) in Scotland are exposed to DA. Low levels, likely from recent exposure, were measured in the faeces and urine of live captured adult animals (using a direct competitive enzyme linked immunosorbent assay) and exposure was highest during August-September 2008 (7/32 of the faecal (22%) and 11/29(38%) of the urine samples were positive). Median concentrations in positive faeces and urine were 25 ng/g and 6 ng/ml respectively. One positive pregnant female was subsequently found dead with 10 ng/ml DA in her amniotic fluid but the contribution of DA exposure to the cause of death could not be established. However, the highest levels in the study were found in anonymous faecal samples collected in September 2009 on the east coast of Scotland (up to 397 ng/g). Further studies are urgently needed to determine the importance of DA exposure to the population dynamics of Scottish harbour seals in light of the recently reported major population declines.

AB Well-being is an important indicator of how participants in an industry are doing. Since the 1970s, anthropologists have been developing and utilizing "well-being" as an indicator, along with identifying the advantages and disadvantages of such a metric. Building on this experience, a "well-being" index is useful if it (1) is easily developed from available data; (2) enables temporal and spatial comparisons; (3) can be applied at multiple scales; and (4) possesses subjective and objective elements. The subjective element reflects how individuals and members of occupational communities perceive their situation. Using five case studies of North American marine commercial fisheries, an approach to representing subjective and objective measures of well-being is illustrated and evaluated. These studies show that commercial fishing has historically been a highly valued occupation from both subjective and objective perspectives. However, the status of commercial fishing has been in a state of decline over the past several decades with corresponding impacts on well-being. Suggestions for expanding the measurement of well-being and making it applicable to a broader set of activities and to time-series analysis are included.

AB Polarimetric radar cross section measurement systems are characterized by polarimetric system parameters epsilon(h) and epsilon(v). These parameters can be measured by use of rotating dihedrals. The full polarimetric dataset as a function of the angle of rotation can be analyzed with a nonlinear set of calibration equations to yield the system-parameter complex constants and the four polarimetric-calibration amplitudes. These amplitudes appropriately reproduce the system's drift, and very accurately satisfy a drift-free system-configuration criterion. The results indicate that the nonlinear approach is better than the previously studied linear approach, which yielded system parameters that were seriously distorted by system drift.

AB We report lasing wavelength bistability with respect to applied bias on the saturable absorbers in two-section mode-locked quantum dot lasers. We show data from three different devices exhibiting wavelength bistability. All lasers display wavelength bistability. Only one lasing wavelength is present at a time, with all other wavelengths totally quenched. The switchable ranges (the wavelength difference between two bistable lasing branches) are different for all three lasers and in one device can be manipulated by changing the current injection. All lasers show the remarkable property of switching only in integer multiples of about 8 nm. The bistable operation can be explained by the interplay of the cross-saturation and self-saturation properties in gain and absorber, and the quantum-confined Stark effect in absorber. The measured switching time between bistable wavelengths is 150 ps.

AB Visible light photon counters (VLPCs) offer many attractive features as photon detectors, such as high quantum efficiency and photon number resolution. We report measurements of the single-photon timing jitter in a VLPC, a critical performance factor in a time-correlated single-photon counting measurement, in a fiber-coupled closed-cycle cryocooler. The measured timing jitter is 240 ps full-width-at-half-maximum at a wavelength of 550 nm, with a dark count rate of 25 x 10(3) counts per second. The timing jitter increases modestly at longer wavelengths to 300 ps at 1000 nm, and increases substantially at lower bias voltages as the quantum efficiency is reduced.

ID RADIATION Q; BANDWIDTH; LIMITS
AB We investigate the quality factor Q for electrically small current distributions and practical antenna designs radiating the TE(10) magnetic dipole field. The current distributions and the antenna designs employ electric currents on a spherical surface enclosing a magneto-dielectric material that serves to reduce the internal stored energy. Closed-form expressions for the internal and external stored energies as well as for the quality factor Q are derived. The influence of the sphere radius and the material permeability and permittivity on the quality factor Q is determined and verified numerically. It is found that for a given antenna size and permittivity there is an optimum permeability that ensures the lowest possible Q, and this optimum permeability is inversely proportional to the square of the antenna electrical radius. When the relative permittivity is equal to 1, the optimum permeability yields the quality factor Q that constitutes the lower bound for a magnetic dipole antenna with a magneto-dielectric core. Furthermore, the smaller the antenna the closer its quality factor Q can approach the Chu lower bound. Simulated results for the TE(10)-mode multiarm spherical helix antenna with a magnetic core reach a that is 1.24 times the Chu lower bound for an electrical radius of 0.192.

DE Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO); uniform circular array
AB Despite the potential for high-speed communications, stringent regulatory mandates on ultrawideband (UWB) emission have hindered its commercial success. By combining resolvable UWB multipath from different directions, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology can drastically improve link robustness or range. In fact, a plethora of algorithms and coding schemes already exist for UWB-MIMO systems, however these papers use simplistic channel models in simulation and testing. While the temporal characteristics of the UWB propagation channel have been well documented, surprisingly there currently exists but a handful of spatial-temporal models to our knowledge, and only two for bandwidths in excess of 500 MHz. This paper proposes a comprehensive spatial-temporal channel propagation model for the frequency spectrum 2-8 GHz, featuring a host of novel parameters. In order to extract the parameters, we conduct an extensive measurement campaign using a vector network analyzer coupled to a virtual circular antenna array. The campaign includes 160 experiments up to a non line-of-sight range of 35 meters in four buildings with construction material varying from sheetrock to steel.

AB We have developed compact and physics-based distributed numerical models for cryogenic bulk MOSFET operation down to 20 K to advance simulation and first-pass design of device and circuit operation at low temperatures. To achieve this, we measured and simulated temperature-dependent current-voltage characteristics of 0.16- and 0.18-mu m bulk MOSFETs. Our measurements indicate that these MOSFETs supply approximately 40% more current in the saturation and linear regions of operation when they are cooled from room temperature to 20 K. The threshold voltage monotonically increases as the temperature is lowered, but it saturates below 40 K. The subthreshold slope decreases with the temperature lowering but at a rate that is less than theoretically predicted. The extrapolation of the subthreshold slope indicates a finite value at near absolute zero. We show that the measured behavior can be well corroborated with distributed numerical simulations using the drift-diffusion transport model. In addition, to obtain a compact model for use in low-temperature circuit design, SPICE-type compact models need to be modified to incorporate the subtle temperature effects that are not part of the standard models. To this end, we use the analog behavioral language Verilog-A and the BSIM3 model equation set to include additional temperature dependences into the standard compact models to accurately reproduce measured characteristics.

AB We study the in-plane spin-transfer torque in magnetic tunnel junctions for different band fillings and exchange splittings. The bias range over which the in-plane torque is linear depends strongly on these parameters. If the ferromagnetic layer is half-metallic with respect to the tunneling states, the linear bias range for the in-plane torque is significantly larger than if the behavior is metallic. For parameters that reproduce the important features of the Fe band structure, the results are in agreement with experimental data as well as with ab initio calculations.

AB We studied how the application of an in-plane field affects the asymmetries of the domain nucleation activity and domain wall velocity revealed previously in ultrathin Co films with perpendicular anisotropy. It is established that the asymmetries survive and new effects arise under application of an additional field parallel to the film surface. It is found that the mobility of different parts of a circular domain wall vary drastically under application of additional planar field. The domain wall velocity in ultrathin Co films, unlike that in low-damping garnet films, slows down dramatically upon application of a planar field. The domain wall part that is moving perpendicular to the in-plane field direction decelerates most relative to the other parts of the domain wall. Moreover, domain wall parts moving in the same direction as the in-plane field and in the opposite direction have considerably different velocities. This anisotropy of domain wall velocity rotates with the field as the in-plane field direction is varied. A new asymmetry in the domain wall velocity in the presence of both in-plane and perpendicular fields is observed when the perpendicular field is reversed.

AB Feedback shift registers are basic building blocks for many cryptographic primitives. Due to the insecurities of Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR) based systems, the use of Nonlinear Feedback Shift Registers (NFSRs) became more popular. In this work, we study the feedback functions of NFSRs with period 2(n). First, we provide two new necessary conditions for feedback functions to be maximum length. Then, we consider NFSRs with k-monomial feedback functions and focus on two extreme cases where k = 4 and k =2(n-1). We study construction methods for these special cases.

AB We prepared a Mg-2 mass % multiwall carbon nanotubes composite employing a powder metallurgy technique. The kinetics of hydrogen absorption/desorption of the as-synthesized composite was much faster than that of reference samples of pure Mg. The pressure-composition isotherm (measured at 300 degrees C) of the as-synthesized composite exhibited no measurable pressure hysteresis, with the equilibrium hydrogen pressures in the plateau region being higher than those of pure Mg by a factor of up to 1.8. Equal channel angular pressing of the as-synthesized composite led to a slow down of the absorption/desorption processes at the initial stages of the processes, and to their acceleration at the later stages. We suggested that the mechanism responsible for the good kinetic performance of the as-synthesized composite was fast diffusion of hydrogen through the cores of carbon nanotubes. We put forward a hypothesis relating the increase in equilibrium hydrogen pressure in the as-synthesized composite to the elastic constraints imposed by carbon nanotubes on the Mg matrix.

AB In situ Raman spectroscopy was used to monitor the dehydrogenation of ball-milled mixtures of LiNH2-LiBH4-MgH2 nanoparticles. The as-milled powders were found to contain a mixture of Li4BN3H10 and Mg(NH2)(2), with no evidence of residual LiNH2 or LiBH4. It was observed that the dehydrogenation of both of Li4BN3H10 and Mg(NH2)(2) begins at 353 K. The Mg(NH2)(2) was completely consumed by 415 K, while Li4BN3H10 persisted and continued to release hydrogen up to 453 K. At higher temperatures Li4BN3H10 melts and reacts with MgH2 to form Li2Mg(NH)(2) and hydrogen gas. Cycling studies of the ball-milled mixture at 423 K and 8 MPa (80 bar) found that during rehydrogenation of Li4BN3H10 Raman spectral modes reappear, indicating partial reversal of the Li4BN3H10 to Li2Mg(NH)(2) transformation.

AB Neutrons scattered or reflected from a diffraction grating are subject to a periodic potential analogous to the potential experienced by electrons within a crystal. Hence, the wavefunction of the neutrons can be expanded in terms of Bloch waves and a dynamical theory can be applied to interpret the scattering phenomenon. In this paper, a dynamical theory is used to calculate the results of neutron spin-echo resolved grazing-incidence scattering (SERGIS) from a silicon diffraction grating with a rectangular profile. The calculations are compared with SERGIS measurements made on the same grating at two neutron sources: a pulsed source and a continuous wave source. In both cases, the spin-echo polarization, studied as a function of the spin-echo length, peaks at integer multiples of the grating period but there are some differences between the two sets of data. The dynamical theory explains the differences and gives a good account of both sets of results. (C) 2010 International Union of Crystallography Printed in Singapore - all rights reserved

SO JOURNAL OF APPLIED CRYSTALLOGRAPHY

DT Article
ID RADIAL-DISTRIBUTION FUNCTION; SMALL-ANGLE SCATTERING
AB The pair distribution function (PDF), as determined from total X-ray or neutron scattering, is a valuable probe of atomic arrangements in nanoparticles. Structural information in the experimental PDF is modified by the effects of particle shape, particle size, extended defects and internal substructure. This study uses synthetic PDF data, generated for simple elemental nanoparticles having different degrees of displacive atomic disorder in the particle surface compared with the interior, to explore the feasibility of reliably extracting key features (i.e. a lattice constant, particle diameter, atomic displacement parameters for the interior and the surface, and thickness of the surface layer) from experimental data in the absence of systematic errors using a statistical modeling approach. This approach determines a model PDF via simulation of an ensemble of nanoparticles. Several methods for model optimization were tested and a differential evolution algorithm was selected as the most reliable and accurate. Fitting synthetic PDF data using this algorithm was demonstrated to estimate all features well with small standard uncertainties. Identification of larger displacive atomic disorder in the particle surface compared with the interior was shown to be possible via model selection. Software for nanoparticle simulation and model optimization is provided in open-source form, to allow reproduction and extension of the results presented here.

AB This paper uses observations from Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) precipitation radar (PR) and microwave imager (TMI) to evaluate the cloud microphysical schemes in the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University-National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesoscale Model (MM5; version 3.7.4) for a wintertime frontal precipitation system over the eastern Pacific Ocean. By incorporating a forward radiative transfer model, the radar reflectivity and brightness temperatures are simulated and compared with the observations at PR and TMI frequencies. The main purpose of this study is to identify key differences among the five schemes [including Simple ice, Reisner1, Reisner2, Schultz, and Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) microphysics scheme] in the MM5 that may lead to significant departures of simulated precipitation properties from both active (PR) and passive (TMI) microwave observations. Radiative properties, including radar reflectivity, attenuation, and scattering in precipitation liquid and ice layers are investigated. In the rain layer, most schemes are capable of reproducing the observed radiative properties to a reasonable degree; the Reisner2 simulation, however, produces weaker reflectivity and stronger attenuation than the observations, which is possibly attributable to the larger intercept parameter (N(0r)) applied in this run. In the precipitation ice layer, strong evidence regarding the differences in the microphysical and radiative properties between a narrow cold-frontal rainband (NCFR) and a wide cold-frontal rainband (WCFR) within this frontal precipitation system is found. The performances of these schemes vary significantly on simulating the microphysical and radiative properties of the frontal rainband. The GSFC scheme shows the least bias, while the Reisner1 scheme has the largest bias in the reflectivity comparison. It appears more challenging for the model to replicate the scattering signatures obtained by the passive sensor (TMI). Despite the common problem of excessive scattering in the WCFR (stratiform precipitation) region in every simulation, the magnitude of the scattering maximum seems better represented in the Reisner2 scheme. The different types of precipitation ice, snow, and graupel are found to behave differently in the relationship of scattering versus reflectivity. The determinative role of the precipitation ice particle size distribution (intercept parameters) is extensively discussed through sensitivity tests and a single-layer radiative transfer model.

Though melting and size sorting of hydrometeors have been investigated, there has been relatively little focus devoted to the impacts of evaporation on the polarimetric characteristics of rainfall. In this study, a simple explicit bin microphysics one-dimensional rainshaft model is constructed to quantify the impacts of evaporation (neglecting the collisional processes) on vertical profiles of polarimetric radar variables in rain. The results of this model are applicable for light to moderate rain (<10 mm h (1)). The modeling results indicate that the amount of evaporation that occurs in the subcloud layer is strongly dependent on the initial shape of the drop size distribution aloft, which can be assessed with polarimetric measurements. Understanding how radar-estimated rainfall rates may change in height due to evaporation is important for quantitative precipitation estimates, especially in regions far from the radar or in regions of complex terrain where low levels may not be adequately sampled. In addition to quantifying the effects of evaporation, a simple method of estimating the amount of evaporation that occurs in a given environment based on polarimetric radar measurements of the reflectivity factor Z(H) and differential reflectivity Z(DR) aloft is offered. Such a technique may be useful to operational meteorologists and hydrologists in estimating the amount of precipitation reaching the surface, especially in regions of poor low-level radar coverage such as mountainous regions or locations at large distances from the radar.

AB High-resolution x-ray diffraction was used to compare strain relaxation and defect populations in thin GaN/AlN heterostructures (total thickness approximate to 480 nm) grown on (0001) SiC using metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) and hydride vapor epitaxy (HVPE) techniques. The results of high-resolution x-ray diffraction measurements (rocking curves and reciprocal space mapping) were corroborated using transmission electron microscopy. Differently grown films exhibited dissimilar strain relaxation and defect populations that were related to specific growth conditions. In the MOCVD films, grown under lower deposition rates, the elastic strain in the AlN and GaN layers was fully relaxed at the initial stages of the epitaxial growth yielding nearly similar densities of threading dislocation segments (TDS) in layer volumes. Additional, "secondary" elastic stresses in these layers were attributed to the excess of point defects. In the HVPE films, grown under higher (five to ten times) deposition rates, these layers were over relaxed and the density of TDS in the GaN layer was an order of magnitude larger than that in AlN. The MOCVD-grown sample was devoid of planar defects whereas the HVPE film contains significant densities of stacking faults in both GaN and AlN layers. Formation of "secondary" extended defects was interpreted in terms of creation and structural transformation of point defects during epitaxial growth. Differences in strain levels, types, and defect populations/distributions for the two heterostructures were attributed to the different growth rates for MOCVD and HVPE.

AB Magnetometry was used to determine the magnetic properties of maghemite (gamma-Fe2O3) nanoparticles formed within Listeria innocua protein cage. The electron magnetic resonance spectrum shows the presence of at least two magnetization components. The magnetization curves are explained by a sum of two Langevin functions in which each filled protein cage contains both a large magnetic iron oxide core plus an amorphous surface consisting of small noncoupled iron oxide spin clusters. This model qualitatively explains the observed decrease in the temperature dependent saturation moment and removes an unrealistic temperature dependent increase in the particle moment often observed in nanoparticle magnetization measurements.

ID MICROWAVE SOUNDING UNIT; POSTLAUNCH CALIBRATION; LAND
AB Daily mean brightness temperatures over Antarctica derived from measurements by three Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-A (AMSU-A) radiometers on board NOAA-18, NOAA-19, and MetOp-A satellites are studied. To demonstrate the characteristics of the data over this test site, time series of daily averages of the brightness temperatures are constructed. These time series provide a useful pattern of annual variation of the AMSU-A measurements for intercalibration of microwave radiometers on board multiple satellites. To investigate the diurnal effect on the measurements, the time series of daily averaged brightness temperatures are constructed separately for the ascending and descending passes. Results show that there are little diurnal differences in measurements during the Antarctic winter months from each satellite. Therefore these measurements provide a practical approach to obtain relative channel biases of intersatellite data. The monthly averages of the measurements over July 2009 are employed to obtain the relative channel biases because it is the coldest month in Antarctica. The resultant channel biases for the three satellites are within the range of +/- 0.1 K for channels 1-5 and +/- 0.3 K for channels 6-15. This is strong evidence that Antarctica is a potentially good test site for intercalibration of microwave radiometers on board multiple satellites. The small relative biases at channels 1-5 indicate that Antarctica is a very stable test site that is particularly useful for intercalibration of measurements from the window channels. The establishment of a natural test site for calibration references is important for calibration and validation of spaceborne microwave instruments.

AB The density and speed of sound of hexadecane have been measured with two instruments. Both instruments use the vibrating-tube method for measuring density. Ambient pressure (83 kPa) density and speed of sound were measured with a commercial instrument from T = (290.65 to 343.15) K. Adiabatic compressibilities are derived from the density and speed of sound data at ambient pressure. Compressed liquid density was measured in a second instrument and ranged from T = (310 to 470) K with pressures from (1 to 50) MPa. The overall relative expanded uncertainty of the compressed liquid density measurements is 0.10-0.13% (k = 2). The overall relative expanded uncertainty (k = 2.3) of the speed of sound measurements is 0.2% and that of the ambient pressure density measurements is approximately 0.04% (k = 2.3). The ambient pressure and compressed liquid density measurements are correlated within 0.1% with a modified Tait equation. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

TI Regional Interdecadal Variability in Bias-Corrected Ocean Temperature
Data
SO JOURNAL OF CLIMATE
LA English
DT Article
ID WORLD OCEAN; TRENDS; XBT
AB Regional interdecadal variability, on subbasin to basin scales, is shown to be a robust feature of the post-World War II (WWII) historical temperature record, even after a recently proposed bias correction to XBT fall rates is applied. This study shows that the previously reported strong regional variability is generally unaffected by this correction, even though the interdecadal variability in the most recently published estimates of global ocean heat content is much reduced after a correction is applied. Following methods used in previous trend analysis work, estimates of interdecadal trends are calculated for individual regions of the global ocean where there are sufficient data. Spatial maps of temperature trends for the surface and three subsurface depths (50, 100, and 300 m) are presented, with both bias-corrected and uncorrected data trends at 100 and 300 m shown for comparison. In the upper two depths and at the surface, interdecadal variability is shown to be present and strong in most of the analysis regions. At 100 m, the differences between trends based on bias-corrected versus uncorrected data are small, and barely distinguishable for much of the ocean analyzed. There are more differences at 300 m between the two data treatments, but large-scale patterns are still present in the bias-corrected trends, especially where the trends are stronger.
Given the sampling issues discussed in previous works, the presence of strong interdecadal variability on smaller scales raises concerns that global interdecadal variability in the historical record still may not be properly resolved.

AB Previous studies suggest that extratropical atmospheric variability influences the tropics via the seasonal footprinting mechanism (SFM), in which fluctuations in the North Pacific Oscillation (NPO) impact the ocean via surface heat fluxes during winter and the resulting springtime subtropical SST anomalies alter the atmosphere-ocean system over the tropics in the following summer, fall, and winter. Here, the authors test the SFM hypothesis by imposing NPO-related surface heat flux forcing in an atmospheric GCM coupled to a reduced gravity ocean model in the tropics and a slab ocean in the extratropics. The forcing is only imposed through the first winter, and then the model is free to evolve through the following winter.
The evolution of the coupled model response to the forcing is consistent with the SFM hypothesis: the NPO-driven surface fluxes cause positive SST anomalies to form in the central and eastern subtropics during winter; these anomalies propagate toward the equator along with westerly wind anomalies during spring, reach the equator in summer, and then amplify, which leads to an ENSO event in the following winter. The anomalies reach the equator through a combination of thermodynamically coupled air-sea interactions, namely, the wind-evaporation-SST (WES) feedback and equatorial ocean dynamics. The initial off-equatorial anomaly propagates toward the equator through a relaxation of the climatological easterly winds south of the dominant SST anomalies, which leads to a reduction in upward latent heat flux. These westerly anomalies reach the equator during boreal summer, where they can excite downwelling equatorial Kelvin waves. The connection between off-equatorial variations and tropical ENSO-like conditions may also occur via the excitation of westward-propagating equatorial Rossby waves during spring, which reflect off of the western boundary as Kelvin waves, depressing the thermocline in the eastern Pacific during the following summer. NPO-related anomalies that form during the first winter in the tropical Pacific may also contribute to the development of an El Nino event in the following winter.
The imposition of the NPO-related forcing caused warming in the ENSO region in; similar to 70% of the ensemble of 60 simulations; therefore, the response depends on the state of the tropical atmosphere-ocean system. For years where the control simulation was poised to develop into a neutral or negative ENSO event, the addition of the NPO heat fluxes tended to cause anomalous warming in the tropical Pacific in the following fall/winter; if the control was heading toward a warm ENSO event, the imposition of NPO forcing tends to reduce the amplitude of that event.

ID SEA-SURFACE TEMPERATURE; WESTERN NORTH-AMERICA; DUST-BOWL; VARIABILITY;
DROUGHT; OCEAN; MODULATION; IMPACTS
AB Multicentury preindustrial control simulations from six of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fourth Assessment Report (IPCC AR4) models are used to examine the relationship between low-frequency precipitation variations in the Great Plains (GP) region of the United States and global sea surface temperatures (SSTs). This study builds on previous work performed with atmospheric models forced by observed SSTs during the twentieth century and extends it to a coupled model context and longer time series. The climate models used in this study reproduce the precipitation climatology over the United States reasonably well, with maximum precipitation occurring in early summer, as observed. The modeled precipitation time series exhibit negative "decadal'' anomalies, identified using a 5-yr running mean, of amplitude comparable to that of the twentieth-century droughts. It is found that low-frequency anomalies over the GP are part of a large-scale pattern of precipitation variations, characterized by anomalies of the same sign as in the GP region over Europe and southern South America and anomalies of opposite sign over northern South America, India, and Australia. The large-scale pattern of the precipitation anomalies is associated with global-scale atmospheric circulation changes; during wet periods in the GP, geopotential heights are raised in the tropics and high latitudes and lowered in the midlatitudes in most models, with the midlatitude jets displaced toward the equator in both hemispheres. Statistically significant correlations are found between the decadal precipitation anomalies in the GP region and tropical Pacific SSTs in all the models. The influence of other oceans (Indian and tropical and North Atlantic), which previous studies have identified as potentially important, appears to be model dependent.

AB Output from 20 coupled global climate models is analyzed to determine whether convectively coupled Kelvin waves exist in the models, and, if so, how their horizontal and vertical structures compare to observations. Model data are obtained from the World Climate Research Program's (WCRP's) Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 3 (CMIP3) multimodel dataset.
Ten of the 20 models contain spectral peaks in precipitation in the Kelvin wave band, and, of these 10, only 5 contain wave activity distributions and three-dimensional wave structures that resemble the observations. Thus, the majority (75%) of the global climate models surveyed do not accurately represent convectively coupled Kelvin waves, one of the primary sources of submonthly zonally propagating variability in the tropics.
The primary feature common to the five successful models is the convective parameterization. Three of the five models use the Tiedtke-Nordeng convective scheme, while the other two utilize the Pan and Randall scheme. The 15 models with less success at generating Kelvin waves predominantly contain convective schemes that are based on the concept of convective adjustment, although it appears that those schemes can be improved by the addition of convective "trigger'' functions.
Three-dimensional Kelvin wave structures in the five successful models resemble observations to a large degree, with vertically tilted temperature, specific humidity, and zonal wind anomalies. However, no model completely captures the observed signal, with most of the models being deficient in lower-tropospheric temperature and humidity signals near the location of maximum precipitation. These results suggest the need for improvements in the representations of shallow convection and convective downdrafts in global models.

AB The variability of North Atlantic tropical storm and hurricane tracks, and its relationship to climate variability, is explored. Tracks from the North Atlantic hurricane database for the period 1950-2007 are objectively separated into four groups using a cluster technique that has been previously applied to tropical cyclones in other ocean basins. The four clusters form zonal and meridional separations of the tracks. The meridional separation largely captures the separation between tropical and more baroclinic systems, while the zonal separation segregates Gulf of Mexico and Cape Verde storms. General climatologies of the seasonality, intensity, landfall probability, and historical destructiveness of each cluster are documented, and relationships between cluster membership and climate variability across a broad spectrum of time scales are identified.
Composites, with respect to cluster membership, of sea surface temperature and other environmental fields show that regional and remote modes of climate variability modulate the cluster members in substantially differing ways and further demonstrate that factors such as El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), Atlantic meridional mode (AMM), North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), and Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO) have varying intrabasin influences on North Atlantic tropical storms and hurricanes. Relationships with African easterly waves are also considered. The AMM and ENSO are found to most strongly modulate the deep tropical systems, while the MJO most strongly modulates Gulf of Mexico storms and the NAO most strongly modulates storms that form to the north and west of their Cape Verde counterparts and closer to the NAO centers of action.
Different clusters also contribute differently to the observed trends in North Atlantic storm frequency and may be related to intrabasin differences in sea surface temperature trends. Frequency trends are dominated by the deep tropical systems, which account for most of the major hurricanes and overall power dissipation. Contrarily, there are no discernable trends in the frequency of Gulf of Mexico storms, which account for the majority of landfalling storms. When the proportion that each cluster contributes to overall frequency is considered, there are clear shifts between the deep tropical systems and the more baroclinic systems. A shift toward proportionally more deep tropical systems began in the early to mid-1980s more than 10 years before the 1995 North Atlantic hurricane season, which is generally used to mark the beginning of the present period of heightened activity.

AB This study evaluates the intraseasonal variation of winter precipitation over the western United States in 14 coupled general circulation models (GCMs) participating in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report (AR4). Eight years of each model's twentieth-century climate simulation are analyzed. The focus is on the two dominant intraseasonal modes for the western U. S. precipitation: the 40-day mode and the 22-day mode.
The results show that the models tend to overestimate the northern winter (November-April) seasonal mean precipitation over the western United States and Canada. The models also tend to produce overly strong intraseasonal variability in western U. S. wintertime precipitation, in spite of the overly weak tropical intraseasonal variability in most of the models. All models capture both the 40-day mode and the 22-day mode, usually with overly large variances. For the 40-day mode, models tend to reproduce its deep barotropic vertical structure and three-cell horizontal structure, but only 5 of the 14 models capture its northward propagation, and only 2 models simulate its teleconnection with the Madden-Julian oscillation in the tropical Pacific. For the 22-day mode, 8 of the 14 models reproduce its coherent northward propagation, and 9 models capture its teleconnection with precipitation in the tropical Pacific.

VARIABILITY; CLIMATE; MODEL; RECIRCULATION; OSCILLATION; FUTURE; SOUTH
AB The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) simulated in various ocean-only and coupled atmosphere-ocean numerical models often varies in time because of either forced or internal variability. The path of the Gulf Stream (GS) is one diagnostic variable that seems to be sensitive to the amplitude of the AMOC, yet previous modeling studies show a diametrically opposed relationship between the two variables. In this note this issue is revisited, bringing together ocean observations and comparisons with the GFDL Climate Model version 2.1 (CM2.1), both of which suggest a more southerly (northerly) GS path when the AMOC is relatively strong (weak). Also shown are some examples of possible diagnostics to compare various models and observations on the relationship between shifts in GS path and changes in AMOC strength in future studies.

TI An Analysis of Description Logic Augmented with Domain Rules for the

SO JOURNAL OF COMPUTING AND INFORMATION SCIENCE IN ENGINEERING

ID LIFE-CYCLE MANAGEMENT; DESIGN; ONTOLOGY; FRAMEWORK; EXCHANGE
AB The languages and logical formalisms developed by information scientists and logicians concentrate on the theory of languages and logical theorem proving. These languages, when used by domain experts to represent their domain of discourse, most often have issues related to the level of expressiveness and need specific extensions. In this paper, we first analyze the requirements for the development of structured knowledge representation models for manufacturing products. We then explore how these requirements can be satisfied through the levels of logical formalisms and expressivity of a structured knowledge representation model. We report our analysis of description logic (DL) and domain-specific rules with respect to the requirements by giving an example of a product ontology developed with ontology web language-description logic (OWL) and augmented with semantic web rule language (SWRL) rules. Clearly, increasing the expressivity of a product ontology also improves that of domain-specific rules, but there exits the usual tradeoff between the expressivity of languages and the complexity of their reasoning tasks. We present a case study of an electromechanical product to validate the analysis and further show how the OWL-DL reasoner together with the rule engine can enable reasoning about the product ontology. We finally discuss the open issues such as capabilities and limitations related to the usage of DL, OWL, and SWRL for product modeling. [DOI: 10.1115/1.3385794]

AB Scale archives of Atlantic salmon Salmo salar from Maine, U.S.A., were examined to determine whether ocean conditions affected the long-term trends in S. salar populations in the southern tier of the species' range in North America. To date, scale analyses of southern tier populations have been limited to hatchery fish; previous studies suggest that post-smolt growth does not influence recruitment, with the exception that winter growth may play a role in stock maturation rate. A time series of scales from the Machias and Narraguagus Rivers spanning the years 1946 to 1999 was analysed. Image analysis was used to measure intercirculi spacing, which provided proxy variables of growth rate. Post-smolt growth increment has increased since the early 1990s, as returns have decreased, suggesting that survival factors act on post-smolts independent of growth. The data support the hypothesis of a decoupling between freshwater size and early marine growth. Growth during the second sea winter was independent of post-smolt growth, suggesting that individuals are capable of significant compensatory growth. Southern tier North American stocks exhibit a similar pattern of independence between growth and survival as observed for northern tier North American stocks. These data support the inference that the recruitment of the North American and European subspecies is governed by fundamentally different mechanisms.

AB Walleye (Sander vitreus) is an important sport fish in the Great Lakes that is experiencing low reproductive success after severe population declines starting in the late 1940s. In the Muskegon River, Michigan, natural reproduction of walleyes remains low and is largely supplemented by stocking. To determine factors influencing walleye reproductive success in the Muskegon River, we estimated walleye egg survival using in situ egg incubators covered with nitex screening (2003-2004) and estimated density and survival of fertilized eggs caught on furnace filter traps across different substrate types (2005-2006). We compared physical habitat suitability for walleye eggs under high and low flow scenarios. Density of walleye eggs was highest in regions of gravel/cobble substrates. Egg survival was higher in egg incubators (24-49.5%) than on furnace filter traps (2.0%), suggesting predation is an important source of walleye egg mortality in the Muskegon River. Cold water temperatures that extended developmental stage durations may also be an important source of egg mortality. The dynamic habitat suitability model predicted low suitability for eggs due to poor temperature and velocity conditions. Despite low egg survival rates, 40 million to 1 billion eggs were estimated to hatch. The low natural reproduction of walleyes in the Muskegon River is likely due to a combination of low walleye egg survival and failure of walleye larvae to reach their nursery grounds in Muskegon Lake.

AB Zooplankton production plays a critical role in the Great Lakes ecosystem, and vertical migration, which is exhibited by many zooplankton species, could affect production. We examined the effects of water temperature and food resource gradients on the growth rate of zooplankton undergoing vertical migration in Lake Michigan. In three laboratory experiments, juvenile Daphnia mendotae, native herbivorous cladocerans, were incubated for 5 days at water temperatures associated with the epilimnion and deep chlorophyll maxima (DCM) of Lake Michigan and were fed food resources collected directly from these regions. Growth rate strongly depended on water temperature, as Daphnia incubated at the epilimnetic temperature (21 degrees C) grew 42% faster than those at the DCM temperature (8 degrees C). Growth rate of Daphnia that alternated between the two temperatures every 12 h (0.108 day(-1)) was similar to the arithmetic average growth rate of the two water temperature treatment extremes (0.110 day(-1)), suggesting fluctuating temperatures alone do not substantially influence Daphnia growth. In contrast, food resources derived from different depths did not affect growth rate, nor was there a significant interaction between food resource origin and water temperature effects. Our results indicate that vertical migration will reduce growth rate, and hence zooplankton production, through reduced temperature, not from changes in resources. Consideration of the effects of vertical migration, especially given the known variability in this behavior, may substantially improve zooplankton production estimates in the Great Lakes.

AB An experimental investigation into the parameters affecting heat transport in two three-dimensional oscillating heat pipes (OHPs) was implemented. A three-dimensional OHP is one in which the center axis of the circular channels containing the internal working fluid do not lie in the same plane. This novel design allows for more turns in a more compact size. The OHPs in the current investigation is made of copper tubings (3.175 mm outside diameter, 1.65 mm inside diameter) wrapped in a three-dimensional fashion around two copper spreaders that act as the evaporator and condenser. The two OHPs have 10 and 20 turns in both the evaporator and condenser. The 20-turn OHP was filled to 50% of the total volume with a high performance liquid chromatography grade water. Transient and steady state temperature data were recorded at different locations for various parameters. Parameters such as heat input, operating temperature, and filling ratio were varied to determine its effect on the overall heat transport. Neutron radiography was simultaneously implemented to create images of the internal working fluid flow at a rate of 30 frames per second. Results show the average temperature drop from the evaporator to condenser decreases at higher heat inputs due to an increase in temperature throughout the condenser region due to greater oscillations. These large oscillations were visually observed using neutron radiography. As the operating temperature is increased, the thermal resistance is reduced. A decrease in filling ratio tends to create more steady fluid motion; however, the heat transfer performance is reduced.

AB This paper describes a technique for quantifying and removing biases from ensemble forecasts of hydro-meteorological and hydrologic variables. The technique makes no a priori assumptions about the distributional form of the variables, which is often unknown or difficult to model parametrically. The aim is to estimate the conditional cumulative distribution function (ccdf) of the observed variable given a (possibly biased) real-time ensemble forecast. This ccdf represents the "true'' probability distribution of the forecast variable, subject to sampling uncertainties. In the absence of a known distributional form, the ccdf should be estimated nonparametrically. It is noted that the probability of exceeding a threshold of the observed variable, such as flood stage, is equivalent to the expectation of an indicator variable defined for that threshold. The ccdf is then modeled through a linear combination of the indicator variables of the forecast ensemble members. The technique is based on Bayesian optimal linear estimation of indicator variables and is analogous to indicator cokriging (ICK) in geostatistics. By developing linear estimators for the conditional expectation of the observed variable at many thresholds, ICK provides a discrete approximation of the full ccdf. Since ICK minimizes the conditional error variance of the indicator variable at each threshold, it effectively minimizes the continuous ranked probability score (CRPS) when infinitely many thresholds are employed. The technique is used to bias-correct precipitation ensemble forecasts from the NCEP Global Ensemble Forecast System (GEFS) and streamflow ensemble forecasts from the National Weather Service (NWS) River Forecast Centers (RFCs). Split-sample validation results are presented for several attributes of ensemble forecast quality, including reliability and discrimination. In general, the forecast biases were substantially reduced following ICK. Overall, the technique shows significant potential for bias-correcting ensemble forecasts whose distributional form is unknown or nonparametric.

AB Temporally consistent high-quality, high-resolution multisensor precipitation reanalysis (MPR) products are needed for a wide range of quantitative climatological and hydroclimatological applications. Therefore, the authors have reengineered the multisensor precipitation estimator (MPE) algorithms of the NWS into the MPR package. Owing to the retrospective nature of the analysis, MPR allows for the utilization of additional rain gauge data, more rigorous automatic quality control, and post factum correction of radar quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) and optimization of key parameters in multisensor estimation. To evaluate and demonstrate the value of MPR, the authors designed and carried out a set of cross-validation experiments in the pilot domain of North Carolina and South Carolina. The rain gauge data are from the reprocessed Hydrometeorological Automated Data System ( HADS) and the daily Cooperative Observer Program (COOP). The radar QPE data are the operationally produced Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler digital precipitation array (DPA) products. To screen out bad rain gauge data, quality control steps were taken that use rain gauge and radar data. The resulting MPR products are compared with the stage IV product on a daily scale at the withheld COOP gauge locations. This paper describes the data, the MPR procedure, and the validation experiments, and it summarizes the findings.

AB A negative snow water equivalent (SWE) bias in the snow model of the Noah land surface scheme used in the NCEP suite of numerical weather and climate prediction models has been noted by several investigators. This bias motivated a series of offline tests of model extensions and improvements intended to reduce or eliminate the bias. These improvements consist of changes to the model's albedo formulation that include a parameterization for snowpack aging, changes to how pack temperature is computed, and inclusion of a provision for refreeze of liquid water in the pack. Less extensive testing was done on the performance of model extensions with alternate areal depletion parameterizations. Model improvements were evaluated through comparisons of point simulations with National Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Snowpack Telemetry (SNOTEL) SWE data for deep-mountain snowpacks at selected stations in the western United States, as well as simulations of snow areal extent over the conterminous United States (CONUS) domain, compared with observational data from the NOAA Interactive Multisensor Snow and Ice Mapping System (IMS). The combination of snow-albedo decay and liquid-water refreeze results in substantial improvements in the magnitude and timing of peak SWE, as well as increased snow-covered extent at large scales. Modifications to areal snow depletion thresholds yielded more realistic snow-covered albedos at large scales.

CALIFORNIA; CALJET; WINTER; RAIN
AB The snow level, or altitude in the atmosphere where snow melts to rain, is an important variable for hydrometeorological prediction in mountainous watersheds; yet, there is no operational performance measure associated with snow-level forecasts in the United States. To establish a performance measure, it is first necessary to establish the baseline performance associated with snow-level forecasts. Using data collected by vertically pointing Doppler radars, an automated algorithm has been developed to detect the altitude of maximum radar reflectivity in the radar bright band that results from the precipitation melting process. This altitude can be used as a proxy for the snow level, partly because it always exists below the freezing level, which is defined as the altitude of the 0 degrees C isotherm. The skill of freezing-level forecasts produced by the California-Nevada River Forecast Center (CNRFC) is evaluated by comparing spatially interpolated and forecaster-adjusted numerical model freezing-level forecasts with observed freezing levels estimated by radars operating at 2875 MHz (S band). The freezing level was chosen instead of the snow level as the comparison parameter because the radar algorithm and the CNRFC have different interpretations of the snow level. The evaluation occurred at two sites: one in the coastal mountains north of San Francisco and the other in the Sierra Nevada. The evaluation was conducted for forecasts made during the winter wet season of 2005/06. Although the overall mean freezing-level forecast bias is small enough not to be hydrologically significant, about 15% of the forecasts had biases greater than 300 m (forecast too low). The largest forecast biases were associated with freezing levels above 2.3 km that were underforecasted by as much as 900 m. These high freezing-level events were accompanied by the heaviest precipitation intensities, exacerbating the flood threat and making the forecast even more challenging.

AB Rainfall estimated from the polarimetric prototype of the Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler [WSR-88D (KOUN)] was evaluated using a dense Micronet rain gauge network for nine events on the Ft. Cobb research watershed in Oklahoma. The operation of KOUN and its upgrade to dual polarization was completed by the National Severe Storms Laboratory. Storm events included an extreme rainfall case from Tropical Storm Erin that had a 100-yr return interval. Comparisons with collocated Micronet rain gauge measurements indicated all six rainfall algorithms that used polarimetric observations had lower root-mean-squared errors and higher Pearson correlation coefficients than the conventional algorithm that used reflectivity factor alone when considering all events combined. The reflectivity based relation R(Z) was the least biased with an event-combined normalized bias of -9%. The bias for R(Z), however, was found to vary significantly from case to case and as a function of rainfall intensity. This variability was attributed to different drop size distributions (DSDs) and the presence of hail. The synthetic polarimetric algorithm R(syn) had a large normalized bias of -31%, but this bias was found to be stationary.
To evaluate whether polarimetric radar observations improve discharge simulation, recent advances in Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulation using the Hydrology Laboratory Research Distributed Hydrologic Model (HL-RDHM) were used. This Bayesian approach infers the posterior probability density function of model parameters and output predictions, which allows us to quantify HL-RDHM uncertainty. Hydrologic simulations were compared to observed streamflow and also to simulations forced by rain gauge inputs. The hydrologic evaluation indicated that all polarimetric rainfall estimators outperformed the conventional R(Z) algorithm, but only after their long-term biases were identified and corrected.

AB Automated high resolution electron backscatter diffraction was used to map the local crystallographic texture of Pt and PbZr(1-x) Ti (x) O(3) (PZT) thin films with a resolution as high as 5 nm. The Pt and PZT films consisted of 99.9% and 94.3% {111} textured grains (i.e., with (111) planes parallel to the substrate surface), respectively. The average Pt and PZT grain sizes were 46 +/- A 30 nm and 65 +/- A 30 nm, respectively. Quantification of misorientation distributions and the fraction of non-{111}-textured grains demonstrates the potential of this local texture measurement method for quantifying the ferroelectric variability limits of PZT-based capacitors.

AB We estimated the northward heat flux through the eastern channel of the Bering Strait during the ice-free seasons between 1999 and 2008. This is likely about half of the total heat flux through the strait. The net volume transport and heat flux through the eastern channel of the strait were estimated from multiple linear regression models with in-situ/satellite remotely sensed datasets and NCEP reanalysis 10 m wind. The net volume transport was well explained by the west-east slope of sea level anomaly and NNW wind component at the strait. On the heat flux, the contributions of both barotropic and baroclinic components were taken into account. Estimated volume transport and vertical profile of temperature were used to calculate northward heat flux through the eastern channel of the strait. The magnitude of the estimated heat flux is comparable to estimates from in-situ measurements. Averaged heat flux in the eastern Bering Strait between 2004 and 2007 was about 1.9 times larger than that between 2000 and 2003. Maximum heat flux occurred in 2004, and same magnitude of heat flux was estimated from 2005 to 2007. This resulted not only from the increase in northward volume transport but also anomalous warm water intrusion from the Bering Sea. Our results suggest a candidate among the important parameters controlling heat budget, which contributes to the Arctic sea ice reduction, whereas more studies are required to confirm that this mechanism is actually responsible for the interannual and longer timescale variability.

AB A critical metrology issue for pharmaceutical industries is the application of analytical techniques for the characterization of drug delivery systems to address interrelationships between processing, structure, and drug release. In this study, cast coatings were formed from solutions of poly(styrene-b-isobutylene-b-styrene) (SIBS) and tetracycline in tetrahydrofuran (THF). These coatings were characterized by several imaging modalities, including time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) for chemical imaging and analysis, atomic force microscopy (AFM) for determination of surface structure and morphology, and laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM), which was used to characterize the three-dimensional structure beneath the surface. The results showed phase separation between the drug and copolymer regions. The size of the tetracycline phase in the polymer matrix ranged from hundreds of nanometers to tens of microns, depending on coating composition. The mass of drug released was not found to be proportional to drug loading, because the size and spatial distribution of the drug phase varied with drug loading and solvent evaporation rate, which in turn affected the amount of drug released.

AB The dinoflagellate Karenia brevis (C. C. Davis) Gert Hansen et Moestrup produces a suite of brevetoxins, potent neurotoxins that have adverse effects on marine animal and human health. Brevetoxins are polyketides proposed to be synthesized by polyketide synthases (PKSs), and genes for type I PKSs have been predicted by PCR and transcript analysis. However, the full-length transcripts in K. brevis predict an unusual protein structure for type I PKS in that individual transcripts encode for single catalytic domains. In this study, we developed peptide antibodies to in silico translated transcripts for two PKS proteins to characterize their expression and localization. Immunoreactive proteins identified by Western blotting at 40 kDa (KR domain) and 100 kDa (KS domain) are consistent with the sizes predicted by the full-length transcripts. Immunolocalization and Western blot analysis indicate that these PKSs are associated with the chloroplasts. In order to establish evidence for a role in brevetoxin biosynthesis, PKS transcript and protein levels were examined in a "nontoxic'' K. brevis substrain and its parental toxic isolate, K. brevis Wilson. DNA micro-array analysis of the global transcript profiles in the "nontoxic'' isolate showed that similar to 7% of transcripts were differentially expressed, including photosystem genes; however, no difference was observed in PKS transcript abundance. By contrast, KS domain proteins were 55%-70% less abundant in "nontoxic'' K. brevis cultures compared to toxic cultures. This finding suggests that K. brevis PKS expression is regulated posttranscriptionally, like many other processes in dinoflagellates. Further, the decrease in PKS protein abundance in the "nontoxic'' cultures provides correlative evidence for their involvement in brevetoxin biosynthesis.

AB In the southwest Pacific, thermocline waters connecting the tropics to the equator via western boundary currents (WBCs) transit through the Solomon Sea. Despite its importance in feeding the Equatorial Undercurrent (EUC) and its related potential influence on the low-frequency modulation of ENSO, the circulation inside the Solomon Sea is poorly documented. A 1/12 degrees model has been implemented to analyze the mean and the seasonal variability of the Solomon Sea thermocline circulation. The circulation involves an inflow from the open southern Solomon Sea, which is distributed via WBCs between the three north exiting straits of the semiclosed Solomon Sea. The system of WBCs is found to be complex. Its main feature, the New Guinea Coastal Undercurrent, splits in two branches: one flowing through Vitiaz Strait and the other one, the New Britain Coastal Undercurrent (NBCU), exiting at Solomon Strait. East of the Solomon Sea, the encounter of the South Equatorial Current (SEC) with the Solomon Islands forms a previously unknown current, which the authors call the Solomon Islands Coastal Undercurrent (SICU). The NBCU, SEC, and SICU participate in the feeding of the New Ireland Coastal Undercurrent (NICU), which retroflects to the Equatorial Undercurrent, providing the most direct western boundary EUC connection, which is particularly active in June August. The Solomon Sea WBC seasonal variability results from the combination of equatorial dynamics, remotely forced Rossby waves north of 10 degrees S, and the spinup and spindown of the subtropical gyre as a response of Rossby waves forced south of 10 degrees S.

Northeasterly Winds?
SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL OCEANOGRAPHY
LA English
DT Article
ID EAST CHINA SEA; KUROSHIO; STRAIT; FRONT; WATER
AB Upwellings are observed on the northern shelf of Taiwan during northeasterly winds. Analytical and realistic numerical models are used to explain how vertical motions are created by divergence and convergence produced by wind acting on the vorticity field of two strong jets: the Kuroshio and the Taiwan Warm Current. The seaward increase in cyclonic vorticity near the Kuroshio's western edge favors a stronger Ekman transport away from the jet, producing upwelling at the shelfbreak under a northeasterly wind. A similar mechanism for generating vertical motions is found across the Taiwan Warm Current. The numerical model results indicate that the vorticity effects can account for up to 30%-50% of the total variation in the surface Ekman transport. Except during summer's weak southwesterlies, northeasterly wind is dominant over the East China Sea, suggesting that the vorticity effects may be prominent in the observed shelfbreak upwelling in nonsummer months.

AB Morphology and biometry of eggs spawned by females of Euphausia pacifica, Thysanoessa spinifera and Thysanoessa inspinata were compared with eggs collected along the Oregon coast to identify the eggs in preserved samples to species level and to infer species spawning areas and intensity of spawning events in the field. The average chorion diameter (CD) and embryo diameter (ED) were significantly larger for E. pacifica than for T. spinifera. Euphausia pacifica eggs usually have a significantly greater perivitelline space, and the chorion is firm, transparent, smooth, elastic and completely spherical, while T. spinifera embryos are not completely spherical and typically are soft and sticky with particles attached. Eggs of the twitching stage embryo of T. spinifera have an elliptical shape, while those of E. pacifica are spherical to very slightly elliptical even after hatching as nauplii. The CD and ED of T. inspinata eggs were smaller than those of the other two species and they were transparent and spherical with a non-sticky chorion. Biweekly time series of eggs (identified to species), of nauplii + metanauplii and of ripe females collected along the Newport hydrographic line (44 degrees 40'N) during 1970-1972 show that E. pacifica and T. spinifera spawn mainly < 40 km from the coast from March to October, but E. pacifica also spawns regularly at oceanic locations. A meta-analysis of the egg CD and ED values of 38 euphausiid species around the world indicates that these variables alone cannot be used to identify eggs to species, excepting specific regions where one or two broadcast spawners dominate the euphausiid assemblage.

AB The nu 9 fundamental band (C-C-C deformation) of propane (C3H8) at 369 cm(-1) has been studied at high-resolution (0.0011 cm(-1)) with spectra recorded using the synchrotron radiation from the French light source facility at SOLEIL coupled to a Bruker IFS 125HR Fourier transform spectrometer. A 2.526 m base multipass cell with optical paths from 10.296 to 151.78m was used. In addition, a spectrum was also recorded using a conventional globar source. Comparison of these experimental spectra shows clearly the gain obtained on the signal-to-noise ratios with the synchrotron radiation. The spectra have been thoroughly analyzed and transitions up to J=65 and K-a= 33 have been assigned. The upper-state rotational levels were fitted using an A-type Watson Hamiltonian written in the I-r representation. An accurate band center v0 (nu(9))=369.228080(25)cm(-1) as well as accurate rotational and centrifugal distortion constants have been obtained and used to simulate a synthetic spectrum. These parameters should be useful to simulate hot bands of propane involving the 91 vibrational level as their lower state. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

AB Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), secondary electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray analysis have been applied to the measurement of U-bearing particles with the intent of gleaning information concerning their history and/or origin. The lead isotopic abundances are definitive indicators that U-bearing particles have come from an ore-body, even if they have undergone chemical processing. SEM images and X-ray analysis can add further information to the study that may allude to the extent of chemical processing. The presence of "common" lead that does not exhibit a radiogenic signature is clear evidence of anthropogenic origin.

AB Pulsed current-voltage (I-V) methods are introduced to evaluate the impact of fast transient charge trapping on the performance of high-kappa dielectric transistors. Several pulsed I-V measurement configurations and measurement requirements are critically reviewed. Properly configured pulsed I-V measurements are shown to be capable of extracting such device characteristics as trap-free mobility, trap-induced threshold voltage shift (Delta V-t), as well as effective fast transient trap density. The results demonstrate that the pulsed I-V measurements are an essential technique for evaluating high-kappa gate dielectric devices.

AB Peak bending moments are compared for a set of steel portal frames of industrial buildings in an open terrain calculated using database-assisted design (DAD) techniques and ASCE 7-05 Standard plots. The comparisons indicate that, depending on the building dimensions, the peak bending moments at the knee based on DAD techniques are generally larger by 10-30% than their counterparts based on the ASCE 7-05 plots. (In one case with a relatively steep roof slope of 26.6 degrees the discrepancies exceed 70%.) For the buildings considered, the discrepancies increase with increasing roof slope and with increasing eave height.

AB The race to economic superiority is increasingly occurring on a global scale. Competitors from different countries are employing new types of growth strategies in attempts to win that race. The United States cannot, therefore, continue to rely on outdated economic growth strategies, which include an inability to understand the complexity of the typical industrial technology and the synergies among tiers in high-tech supply chains. In this context, a detailed rationale is provided for maintaining a viable domestic technology-based manufacturing capability. In the United States, the still dominant neoclassical economic philosophy is at best ambivalent on the issue of whether a technology-based economy should attempt to remain competitive in manufacturing or let this sector continue to offshore in response to trends in comparative advantage, as revealed through shifts in relative prices. The paper argues that the neoclassical view is inaccurate and that a new innovation model is required to guide economic growth policy. Specifically, the paper provides (1) a rationale for why an advanced economy such as the United States needs a manufacturing sector; (2) examples of the process of deterioration of competitive positions for individual industries and, more important, entire high-tech supply chains; (3) an explanation of the inadequacy of current economic models for rationalizing needed new policy strategies; and (4) a new economic framework for determining both policy mechanisms and targets for those mechanisms, with emphasis on the systems nature of modern technologies and the consequent requirement for public-private innovation ecosystems to develop and deliver these technologies. Several targets are suggested for major policy mechanisms.

AB Portland cement powder, ground from much larger clinker particles, has a particle size distribution from about 0.1 to 100 mu m. An important question is then: does particle shape depend on particle size? For the same cement, X-ray computed tomography has been used to examine the 3-D shape of particles in the 20-60 mu m sieve range, and focused ion beam nanotomography has been used to examine the 3-D shape of cement particles found in the 0.4-2.0 mu m sieve range. By comparing various kinds of computed particle shape data for each size class, the conclusion is made that, within experimental uncertainty, both size classes are prolate, but the smaller size class particles, 0.4-2.0 mu m, tend to be somewhat more prolate than the 20-60 mu m size class. The practical effect of this shape difference on the set-point was assessed using the Virtual Cement and Concrete Testing Laboratory to simulate the hydration of five cement powders. Results indicate that nonspherical aspect ratio is more important in determining the set-point than are the actual shape details.

AB The formation of pre-Hurricane Felix (2007) in a tropical easterly wave is examined in a two-part study using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model with a high-resolution nested grid configuration that permits the representation of cloud system processes. The simulation commences during the wave stage of the precursor African easterly-wave disturbance. Here the simulated and observed developments are compared, while in Part II of the study various large-scale analyses, physical parameterizations, and initialization times are explored to document model sensitivities.
In this first part the authors focus on the wave/vortex morphology, its interaction with the adjacent intertropical convergence zone complex, and the vorticity balance in the neighborhood of the developing storm. Analysis of the model simulation points to a bottom-up development process within the wave critical layer and supports the three new hypotheses of tropical cyclone formation proposed recently by Dunkerton, Montgomery, and Wang. It is shown also that low-level convergence associated with the ITCZ helps to enhance the wave signal and extend the "wave pouch" from the jet level to the top of the atmospheric boundary layer. The region of a quasi-closed Lagrangian circulation within the wave pouch provides a focal point for diabatic merger of convective vortices and their vortical remnants. The wave pouch serves also to protect the moist air inside from dry air intrusion, providing a favorable environment for sustained deep convection. Consistent with the authors' earlier findings, the tropical storm forms near the center of the wave pouch via system-scale convergence in the lower troposphere and vorticity aggregation. Components of the vorticity balance are shown to be scale dependent, with the immediate effects of cloud processes confined more closely to the storm center than the overturning Eliassen circulation induced by diabatic heating, the influence of which extends to larger radii.

DT Article
ID TROPICAL CYCLOGENESIS; CYCLONES; MODEL
AB This is the second of a two-part study examining the simulated formation of Atlantic Hurricane Felix (2007) in a cloud-representing framework. Here several open issues are addressed concerning the formation of the storm's warm core, the evolution and respective contribution of stratiform versus convective precipitation within the parent wave's pouch, and the sensitivity of the development pathway reported in Part I to different model physics options and initial conditions. All but one of the experiments include ice microphysics as represented by one of several parameterizations, and the partition of convective versus stratiform precipitation is accomplished using a standard numerical technique based on the high-resolution control experiment.
The transition to a warm-core tropical cyclone from an initially cold-core, lower tropospheric wave disturbance is analyzed first. As part of this transformation process, it is shown that deep moist convection is sustained near the pouch center. Both convective and stratiform precipitation rates increase with time. While stratiform precipitation occupies a larger area even at the tropical storm stage, deep moist convection makes a comparable contribution to the total rain rate at the pregenesis stage, and a larger contribution than stratiform processes at the storm stage. The convergence profile averaged near the pouch center is found to become dominantly convective with increasing deep moist convective activity there. Low-level convergence forced by interior diabatic heating plays a key role in forming and intensifying the near-surface closed circulation, while the midlevel convergence associated with stratiform precipitation helps to increase the midlevel circulation and thereby contributes to the formation and upward extension of a tropospheric-deep cyclonic vortex.
Sensitivity tests with different model physics options and initial conditions demonstrate a similar pregenesis evolution. These tests suggest that the genesis location of a tropical storm is largely controlled by the parent wave's critical layer, whereas the genesis time and intensity of the protovortex depend on the details of the mesoscale organization, which is less predictable. Some implications of the findings are discussed.

AB Data collected in the low-level atmospheric boundary layer in five hurricanes by NOAA research aircraft are analyzed to measure turbulence with scales small enough to retrieve the rate of dissipation. A total of 49 flux runs suitable for analysis are identified in the atmospheric boundary layer within 200 m above the sea surface. Momentum fluxes are directly determined using the eddy correlation method, and drag coefficients are also calculated. The dissipative heating is estimated using two different methods: 1) integrating the rate of dissipation in the surface layer and 2) multiplying the drag coefficient by the cube of surface wind speed. While the latter method has been widely used in theoretical models as well as several numerical models simulating hurricanes, these analyses show that using this method would significantly overestimate the magnitude of dissipative heating. Although the dataset used in this study is limited by the surface wind speed range <30 m s(-1), this work highlights that it is crucial to understand the physical processes related to dissipative heating in the hurricane boundary layer for implementing it into hurricane models.

ID GEOSTROPHIC BAROCLINIC STABILITY; INERTIAL INSTABILITY; WAVES; MODES
AB Modal and nonmodal growths of nonhydrostatic symmetric perturbations in an unbounded domain are examined in comparison with their hydrostatic counterparts. It is shown that the modal growth rate is a function of a single internal parameters, the slope of the cross-band wave pattern. The maximum nonmodal growth of total perturbation energy norm is produced, also as a function of s, by an optimal combination of one geostrophic neutral mode and two paired nongeostrophic growing and decaying (or propagating) modes in the unstable (or stable) region. The hydrostatic approximation inflates the maximum modal growth rate significantly (or boundlessly) as the basic-state Richardson number Ri is small (or -> 0) and inflates the maximum nonmodal growth rate significantly (or boundlessly) as vertical bar s vertical bar is large (or -> infinity).
Inside the unstable region, the maximum nonmodal growth scaled by the modal growth is a bounded increasing function of growth time tau but reduces to 1 at (Ri, s) = (1/4 -2) where the three modes become orthogonal to each other. Outside the unstable region, the maximum nonmodal growth is a periodic function of 7 and the maximum growth time tau(m) is bounded between 1/4 and 1/2 of the period of the paired propagating modes. The scaled maximum nonmodal growth reaches the global maximum at s = -Ri(-1) +/- Ri(-1)(1-Ri)(1/2) (the marginal-stability boundary) for any tau if Ri <= 1, or at s = -1 +/- (1 - Ri(-1))(1/2) for tau = tau(m) if Ri > 1. When the neutral mode is filtered, the nonmodal growth becomes nongeostrophic and smaller than its counterpart growth constructed by the three modes but still significantly larger than the modal growth in general. The scaled maximum nongeostrophic nonmodal growth reaches the global maximum at s = -Ri(-1) +/- Ri(-1)(1 - Ri)(1/2) for any tau if Ri <= 1, or at s = -Ri(-1/2) for tau = tau(m) if Ri > 1. Normalized inner products between the modes are introduced to measure their nonorthogonality and interpret their constructed nonmodal growths physically.

AB The authors hypothesize a simple feedback mechanism between external Rossby waves and diabatic heating from convection. This mechanism could explain the large amplitude that external Rossby waves attain as they propagate tumid-and high latitudes. A series of experiments has been carried out with a core dynamic global spectral model. These simulations with the idealized atmospheric GCM and a simple parameterization of thermal forcing proportional to the low-level wave meridional velocity suggest that external Rossby waves can be enhanced by convection, which they themselves induce. It is shown that in the tropospheric upper levels the amplitude of the external waves can be twice as large with feedback as for a control simulation that does not allow feedback.

AB Crabs from the Mithrax - Mithraculus species complex are known for their diversity of lifestyles, habitats, and coloration Tins group Includes small, colourful, symbiotic species and much larger, reef-dwelling crabs targeted by fishermen The evolutionary relationships between the species within this complex are not well-defined Previous studies based upon morphological characters have proposed the separation of tins complex into two genera (Mithrax and Mithraculus), but cladistic analyses based upon larval characters do not support this division A molecular phylogeny of the group may help to resolve this long-standing taxonomic question and shed light on the ecological conditions driving the diversity of these crabs Using a 550-bp alignment of the 16S rRNA mitochondria! DNA segment we examined the phylogenetic relationships between 8 species within the Mithrax - Mithraculus complex native to the Caribbean The resulting phylogeny indicates that this complex is paraphykite, as it includes the genus Microphrys The analyses revealed a well-supported, monophyletic group containing four species of Mithraculus (M cinctimanus, M coryphe, M sculptus and M forceps) and supported one pair of sister species from the genus Mithrax (M caribbaeus and M spinosissimus) No complete segregation of species, according to genera, was evident, however, from tree topologies Bayesian-factor analyses revealed strong support for the unconstrained tree instead of alternative trees in winch monophyly of the two genera was forced Thus, the present molecular phylogeny does not support the separation of the species within tins complex Into the genera Mithrax and Mithraculus A review of the literature demonstrated considerable phenotypic variation within monophyletic clades in this group

AB We study anisotropic wetting in systems governed by Lennard-Jones interactions. Molecular simulation is used to obtain the macroscopic contact angle a fluid adopts on face-centered-, body-centered-, and simple-cubic lattices with the (100), (110), or (111) face in contact with the fluid. Several amorphous substrates are also examined. Substrates are modeled as a static collection of particles. For a given set of calculations, the atomistic density of the substrate and the particle-particle interactions (surface-fluid and fluid-fluid) remain fixed. These constraints enable us to focus on the extent to which substrate structure influences the contact angle. Three substrate-fluid interaction strengths are considered, which provide wetting conditions that span from near-dry to near-wet. Our results indicate that the manner in which particles are organized within the substrate significantly influences the contact angle. For strong substrates (near-wet case), a change in the substrate structure can change the cosine of the contact angle by as much as 0.5. We also examine how well certain structural and energetic features of the substrate-fluid system serve as suitable metrics for predicting the variation of the contact angle with substrate topography. Three parameters are considered: the density of atoms within the crystalline plane closest to the fluid, a measure of the effective strength of the substrate-fluid interaction, and the roughness of the solid-liquid interface. The effective strength of the substrate potential shows the strongest correlation with the contact angle. This energy-based parameter is defined in a general manner and therefore could serve as a useful tool for describing the anisotropic wetting of solids. In contrast, the metrics based on planar density and interface roughness are found to correlate with contact angle data relatively weakly.

AB Niosomes are synthetic membrane vesicles formed by sell-assembly of nonionic surfactant. often in a mixture with cholesterol and dicetyl phosphate. Because of their inner aqueous core and hi layer membrane shell, niosomes are commonly used as carriers of treatment agents for pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications or contrast agents for clinical imaging applications. In those applications, niosomes are considered as a more economical and stable alternative to their biological counterpart (i.e., liposomes). However, conventional bulk method of niosome preparation requires bulk mixing of two liquid phases, which is time-consuming and not well-controlled. Such mixing conditions often lead to large niosomes with high polydispersity in size and thus affect the consistency of niosome dosage or imaging quality. In this study, we present a new method of niosome self-assembly by microfluidic hydrodynamic focusing to improve on the size and size distributions of niosomes. By taking advantage of the rapid and controlled mixing of two miscible fluids (i.e., alcohol and water) in microchannels, we were able to obtain in seconds nanoscaled niosomes with approximate to 40% narrower size distributions compared to the bulk method. We further investigated different parameters that might affect on-chip assembly of niosomes, such as (1) conditions for the microfluidic mixing. (2) chemical structures of the surfactant used (i.e., sorbitan esters Span 20, Span 60, and Span 80), and (3) device materials for the microchannel fabrication. This work suggests that microfluidics may facilitate the development and optimization of biomimetic colloidal systems for nanomedicine applications.

AB Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are a serious public health risk in coastal waters. As the intensity and frequency of HABs continue to rise, new methods of detection are needed for reliable identification. Herein, we developed a high-throughput, multiplex, bead array technique for the detection of the dinoflagellates Karenia brevis and Karenia mikimotoi. The method combined the Luminex detection system with two novel technologies: locked nucleic acid-modified oligonucleotides (LNA) and Mirus Label IT (R) nucleic acid technology. To study the feasibility of the method, we evaluated the performance of modified and unmodified LNA probes with amplicon targets that were biotin labeled with two different strategies: direct chemical labeling (Mirus Label IT) versus enzymatic end-labeling (single biotinylated primer). The results illustrated that LNA probes hybridized to complementary single-stranded DNA with better affinity and displayed higher fluorescence intensities than unmodified oligonucleotide DNA probes. The latter effect was more pronounced when the assay was carried out at temperatures above 53 degrees C degree. As opposed to the enzymatic 5' terminal labeling technique, the chemical-labeling method enhanced the level of fluorescence by as much as similar to 83%. The detection limits of the assay, which were established with LNA probes and Mirus Label IT system, ranged from 0.05 to 46 copies of rRNA. This high-throughput method, which represents the first molecular detection strategy to integrate Luminex technology with LNA probes and Mirus Label IT, can be adapted for the detection of other HABs and is well suited for the monitoring of red tides at pre-blooming and blooming conditions.

VARIABILITY; ISOTHERM; PROFILE; WAVES
AB Temperature-depth profiles, including the thermocline, are typically described or characterized by mixed layer depth, thermocline depth, and thermocline strength. Objective methods of estimating these parameters are compared with empirical determinations for 200 CTD profiles collected in the eastern and central tropical Pacific, the subtropical North Pacific, and the California Current. The objective methods are (1) maximum slope by difference, (2) maximum slope by regression, (3) four-segment profile model, (4) inflection point, and (5) variable representative isotherm. Mixed layer depth is well estimated by the temperature criterion of (SST-0.8 degrees C) independent of the estimation of thermocline parameters. Thermocline depth and strength are well estimated by the variable representative isotherm method. However, thermocline strength measured as the slope of the temperature-depth profile does not provide a good measure of stratification of the water column. Therefore, it is recommended that the thermocline strength estimate for a profile be supplemented by an estimate of the standard deviation of temperature in the near-surface layer including the thermocline.

AB To obtain critical information on distribution and abundance of Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins (Sousa chinensis) residing in the Pearl River Estuary (PRE), systematic line-transect surveys and photo-identification studies were conducted in the eastern and western sections of the estuary in 2005-2006 and 2007-2008, respectively. Dolphins in the eastern section occurred throughout Lingding Bay, whereas their distribution in the western section extended from the mouth of Modaomen to the channel between Shangchuan and Xiachuan islands. Variations in dolphin distribution during the wet and dry seasons were evident and probably associated with movements of their prey species. Photo-identification of individuals confirmed exchange of at least some individuals between the western and eastern sections of PRE, and thus dolphins from both areas almost certainly comprise a single population. Using line-transect analysis, the total population size of the PRE humpback dolphins was estimated to be 2555 during the wet season and 2517 during the dry season. However, these should be considered preliminary as the coefficients of variation in some survey areas were high. Further studies should focus on refining these estimates and working towards understanding the western boundary of the PRE population.

AB The rate of growth of any population is a quantity of interest in conservation and management and is constrained by biological factors. In this study, recent data on life-history parameters influencing rates of population growth in humpback whales, including survival, age at first parturition and calving rate are reviewed. Monte Carlo simulations are used to compute a distribution of rates of increase (ROIs) taking into account uncertainty in biological parameter estimates. Two approaches for computing juvenile survival are proposed, which taken into account along with other life-history data, resulted in the following estimates of the rate of population growth: Approach A: mean of 7.3%/year (95% CI = 3.5-10.5%/year) and Approach B: mean of 8.6%/year (95% CI = 5.0-11.4%/year). It is proposed that the upper 99% quantile of the resulting distribution of the ROI for Approach B (11.8%/year) be established as the maximum plausible ROI for humpback whales and be used in population assessment of the species. Possible sources of positive and negative biases in the present estimates are presented and include measurement error in estimation of life-history parameters, changes in the environment within the period these quantities are measured, density dependence or other natural factors. However, it is difficult to evaluate potential biases without additional data. The methods presented in this study can be applied to other species for which life-history parameters are available and are useful in assessing plausibility in the estimation of population growth rates from time series of abundance estimates.

AB Whereas diel fish migration between mangrove and seagrass habitats has been recognized for decades, quantitative studies have focused mainly on diurnal patterns of fish distribution and abundance. In general, previous studies have shown that fish abundances decline with increasing distance from mangroves; however, evidence for such a pattern at night, when many fishes are actively feeding, is scarce. The present study is the first to report nocturnal fish abundances along a continuous distance gradient from mangroves across adjacent seagrass habitat (0-120 m). Here, we used nocturnal seine sampling to test the null hypothesis (based on diurnal studies and limited nocturnal work) that fish abundance would decrease with increasing distance from shoreline. We focused on species and life-stage-specific abundance patterns of Lutjanus griseus, Sphyraena barracuda, Archosargus rhomboidalis, and Haemulon sciurus. Results indicated that assemblage composition and structure differed significantly by season, likely influenced by temperature. However, within each season, the fish habitat use pattern at both the assemblage and species-specific level generally failed to support our working null hypothesis. Species-specific analyses revealed that, for most species and life-stages examined, nocturnal abundance either did not change with distance or increased with distance from the mangrove-seagrass ecotone. Our results suggest that analyses where taxa are grouped to report overall patterns may have the potential to overlook significant species- and stage-specific variation. For fishes known to make nocturnal migrations, we recommend nocturnal sampling to determine habitat utilization patterns, especially when inferring nursery value of multiple habitats or when estimating fish production.

AB Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and non-aromatic hydrocarbons (NAHs), including n-alkanes, isoprenoids and petroleum biomarkers (terpanes, hopanes, steranes and diasteranes), were quantified by gas chromatography with flame ionization and mass spectrometer detectors in sediment samples collected from the Sao Sebastiao Channel (SSC), Brazil, where the largest Brazilian maritime petroleum terminal is located The concentrations of total PAHs. total n-alkanes and petroleum biomarkers ranged from below the detection limits to 370 ng g(-1,) 28 mu g g(-1), 2200 ng g(-1) (dry weight), respectively. The analysis of PAN distribution suggested combustion sources of PAHs as the main input for these compounds with smaller amount from petroleum contamination The distribution of petroleum biomarkers undoubtedly demonstrated petroleum as a source of anthropogenic contamination throughout the region. The assessment of petrogenic sources of contamination in marine sediment is more challenging if only PAH analysis were carried out, which demonstrates that more stable hydrocarbons such as petroleum biomarkers are useful for investigating potential presence of petroleum (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

AB Exposure to dissolved polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from crude oil delays pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) embryo development, thus prolonging their susceptibility to mechanical damage (shock) Exposure also caused mortality, edema, and anemia consistent with previous studies Hatching and yolk consumption were delayed, indicating the rate of embryonic development was slowed by PAH exposure. The net result was that exposed embryos were more susceptible to shock than normal, unexposed embryos Susceptibility to shock was protracted by 4-6 d for more than a month in embryos exposed to exponentially declining, dissolved PAH concentrations in water passed through oiled rock, the initial total PAH concentration was 22.4 mu g L(-1) and the geometric mean concentration was 4 5 mu g L(-1) over the first 20 d Protracted susceptibility to shock caused by exposure to PAHs dissolved from oil could potentially increase the reported incidence of mortality in oiled stream systems, such as those in Prince William Sound after the Exxon Valdez oil spill, if observers fail to discriminate between direct mortality and shock-induced mortality Published by Elsevier Ltd

AB Northern quahogs. Mercenaria mercenaria (L), frequently are infected with the parasite Quahog Parasite Unknown (QPX. Labyrintohomorpha, Thraustochytriales), which can cause morbidity and mortality of the quahogs Possible interactions between this parasitic disease and exposure to the harmful dinoflagellate Prorocentrum minimum in M mercenaria were studied experimentally. Quahogs from Massachusetts with variable intensity of QPX infection were exposed, under controlled laboratory conditions, to cultured P minimum added to the natural plankton at a cell density equivalent to a natural bloom After 5 days of exposure, individual clams were diagnosed histologically to assess prevalence and intensity of parasitic infection, as well as other pathological conditions Further, cellular defense status of clams was evaluated by analyzing hemocyte parameters (morphological and functional) using flow-cytometry Exposure of quahogs to P minimum resulted in a lower percentage of phagocytic hemocytes, higher production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), larger hemocyte size, more-numerous hemocytic aggregates. and increased numbers of hemocytes in gills accompanied by vacuolation and hyperplasia of the water-tubular epithelial cells of the gills Quahogs had a low prevalence of QPX, by chance, the parasite was present only in quahogs exposed to P minimum. Thus, the effect of QPX alone on the hemocyte parameters of quahogs could not be assessed in this experiment, but it was possible to assess different responses of infected versus non-infected quahogs to P minimum QPX-infected quahogs exposed to P minimum had repressed percentage of phagocytic hemocytes, consistent with immuno-modulating effect of P. minimum upon several molluscan species, as well as smaller hemocytes and increased hemocyte infiltration throughout the soft tissues This experiment demonstrates the importance of considering interactive effects of different factors on the immunology and histopathology of bivalve shellfish, and highlights the importance of considering the presence of parasites when bivalves are subjected to harmful-algal blooms.

AB Marine renewable developments have raised concerns over impacts of underwater noise on marine species, particularly from pile-driving for wind turbines. Environmental assessments typically use generic sound propagation models, but empirical tests of these models are lacking. In 2006, two 5 MW wind turbines were installed off NE Scotland. The turbines were in deep (>40 m) water, 25 km from the Moray Firth Special Area of Conservation (SAC), potentially affecting a protected population of bottlenose dolphins. We measured pile-driving noise at distances of 0.1 (maximum broadband peak to peak sound level 205 dB re 1 mu Pa) to 80 km (no longer distinguishable above background noise). These sound levels were related to noise exposure criteria for marine mammals to assess possible effects. For bottlenose dolphins, auditory injury would only have occurred within 100 m of the pile-driving and behavioural disturbance, defined as modifications in behaviour, could have occurred up to 50 km away.

AB The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Low Pressure Manometry Project maintains and operates primary standard ultrasonic interferometer manometers (UIMs) over the pressure range of 1 mPa to 360 kPa. Over the past decade a new type of customer gauge, the non-rotating force-balanced piston gauge or FPG (model 8601, DH Instruments, a Fluke Company(1)) has been introduced to the standards community that covers the range of,approximate to 1-15,000 Pa and is capable of both absolute and differential measurement modes. Since 2002, NIST customers(2) have requested that four different FPG units be compared to the NIST primary pressure ultrasonic interferometer manometer standards (UlMs). The results of the comparisons were that all four FPG units were within manufacturers stated uncertainty (0.008 Pa + 30 x 10(-6) x P for absolute mode) when compared against the NIST UlMs at pressures between 10 Pa and 15,000 Pa (absolute mode). At pressures between 5 Pa and 10 Pa, the results were generally within manufacturer's specifications. Below 5 Pa some of the FPG units were outside of manufacturer's uncertainty specifications. The use of an isolating capacitance diaphragm gauge (COG) was necessary during the comparisons to prevent humidified gas from the FPG from entering the NIST 160 kPa mercury UIM primary pressure standard. The results of these four different comparison tests will be discussed in detail, along with test conditions, equipment set-up, and test uncertainty analysis. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

AB The Atlantic blue crab, Callinectes sapidus, is an economically, ecologically, and recreationally valuable decapod crustacean that inhabits estuaries along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the United States. In their natural environment, blue crabs are exposed to many stressors including anthropogenic contaminants, viruses and bacteria. Bacterial infection results in the depression of oxygen uptake, and impairs normal metabolic function in a manner that has not yet been fully elucidated. Our laboratory is developing NMR-based metabolomic tools for environmental research to discover metabolomic biomarkers of stress in marine organisms. We have used NMR spectroscopy to compare the response of the crab metabolome to depression of aerobic metabolism by injection of the bacterium Vibrio campbellii, versus elevation of aerobic metabolism by treatment with 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP), a known uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation. The corresponding NMR spectral variations between treatments were evaluated using chemometric tools for pattern recognition and biomarker identification, including principal components analysis and partial least-squares analysis. Metabolic changes were identified in crab hemolymph 30 min after injection with V. campbellii and DNP. Glucose, considered a reliable indicator for biological stress in crustaceans, and lactate, a metabolite indicating anaerobic respiration, provided the largest variations in the metabolomes, respectively. While biological variability and/or tight regulation of the hemolymph masked subtle metabolic changes at individual time-points, metabolic trajectory analysis revealed clear differences between the two modes of oxidative stress, providing insight into the biochemical pathways involved.

TI Analysis of key comparisons: estimating laboratories' biases by a fixed
effects model using Bayesian model averaging
SO METROLOGIA
LA English
DT Article
AB We propose a novel procedure for the analysis of key comparison data. The goal of the procedure is to detect biases in the reported measurement results which are not accounted for by quoted uncertainties. A fixed effects bias model is employed which constrains the biases of some of the laboratories to zero. Only the number of these laboratories needs to be specified, not the laboratories themselves. The analysis then runs through all possible different models, each assuming zero biases for a different subset of laboratories. The results from these models are finally merged by employing a Bayesian model averaging technique. Explicit formulae are derived which allow for an easy application of the proposed approach. The procedure is illustrated by its application to data from the CCL-K1 key comparison.

TI Rectangular distribution whose end points are not exactly known:
curvilinear trapezoidal distribution
SO METROLOGIA
LA English
DT Article
ID UNCERTAINTY; MOMENTS; WIDTH
AB Metrologists often represent the state of knowledge concerning a quantity about which scant specific information is available by a rectangular probability distribution. The end points are frequently specified by subjective judgment; therefore, they are inexactly known. If the states of knowledge about the end points may be represented by other (narrower) rectangular distributions, then the resulting probability distribution looks like a trapezoid whose sloping sides are curved. We refer to such a probability distribution as curvilinear trapezoid. Depending on the limits of rectangular distributions for the end points, the curvilinear trapezoidal distribution may be asymmetric. In a previous paper we had shown that if the mid-point of a rectangular distribution is known and the state of knowledge about the half-width may be represented by a rectangular distribution then the resulting distribution is symmetric curvilinear trapezoid. In this paper, we describe the probability density function of a curvilinear trapezoidal distribution which arises from inexactly known end points. Then we give compact analytic expressions for all moments including the expected value and the variance. Next we discuss how random numbers from such a distribution may be generated. We compare the curvilinear trapezoid which arises from inexactly known end points with the corresponding trapezoid whose sloping sides are straight. We also compare the curvilinear trapezoid which arises from inexactly known end points with the curvilinear trapezoid which arises when the mid-point is known and the state of knowledge about the half-width may be represented by a rectangular distribution. The results presented in this paper are useful in evaluating uncertainty according to the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM) as well as Supplement 1 to the GUM (GUM-S1).

AB A second-generation standard hygrometer has been completed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). This hygrometer measures humidity using a gravimetric method: it separates the water from the carrier gas and afterwards measures the water mass and carrier gas mass. These two measurements determine the mass ratio r (the ratio of the measured water mass to the measured dry-gas mass). The new design allows automated continuous gas collection at up to 3 L min(-1). This enables the hygrometer to collect larger amounts of gas and thereby measure humidity values lower than that measured by the previous NIST standard hygrometer. When operated in an optimal thermal environment (minimal thermal loads in the laboratory), the total expanded relative uncertainty (k = 2) of the gravimetric hygrometer is approximately 0.1% for atmospheric-pressure frost points higher than -35 degrees C (r = 250 mu g g(-1)). Below this frost point the total expanded relative uncertainty gradually increases to approximately 1% at -55 degrees C (r = 13 mu g g(-1)). The hygrometer has measured the humidity of gas samples produced by the NIST Hybrid Generator and the NIST Low Frost-Point Generator with dew/frost points from -35 degrees C to 71 degrees C. For both generators the differences between the humidity generated and the humidity measured by the gravimetric hygrometer are less than the combined uncertainties of the generator and the hygrometer.

AB This paper presents a practical ultrasonic system for near real-time imaging of spatial temperature distributions in water caused by absorption of radiation. Initial testing with radiation from a highly attenuated infrared lamp demonstrates that the system is able to map sub-millikelvin temperature changes, thus making it suitable for characterizing dose profiles of therapy-level ionizing radiation beams. The system uses a fan-beam tomographic reconstruction algorithm to invert time-of-flight data derived from ultrasonic pulses produced and detected by a circular array of transducers immersed in water. Temperature dependence of the speed of sound in water permits the conversion of these measured two-dimensional velocity distributions into temperature distributions that indicate the absorbed radiation dose. The laboratory prototype, based on a 128-element transducer array, is used to acquire temperature maps of a 230 mm x 230 mm area every 4 s with sub-millikelvin resolution in temperature and about 5 mm resolution in space. Earlier measurements with a single-channel version of this prototype suggest refinements in signal-conditioning electronics and signal-processing algorithms that would allow the present instrument to resolve temperature changes as low as a few microkelvin. Possible applications include real-time intensity profiling of radiation beams and three-dimensional characterization of the absorbed dose.

ID NEAREST CORRELATION MATRIX
AB Applying the Monte Carlo method for propagation of measurement uncertainty described in the Supplement 1 to the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM), when the input quantities are correlated, involves the specification of a joint probability distribution for these quantities. This applies equally whether the output quantity is a scalar or a vector. In practice, however, all that typically is available are probability distributions for the individual input quantities (their marginal distributions) and estimates of the correlations between them. Even though there are infinitely many joint distributions that are consistent with given marginal distributions and correlations, a method is needed to manufacture a particular one that may reasonably be used in practice. This paper explains how copulas may be used to this effect, illustrates their use in examples, including example H. 2 from the GUM, discusses the choice of copula and provides an algorithm to delineate minimum volume coverage regions for vectorial measurands.

AB We report a simple and one-step processing method to prepare mesoporous silica films with preferential alignment of cylindrical mesochannels during the condensation of TEOS in the presence of Pluronic P123 (EO(20)PO(70)EO(20), M(w) = 5800) triblock copolymer, employed as a structure-directing agent. The alignment of mesochannels in a mesoporous silica film is achieved by the directional solution flow without additional complex treatments on the substrate. It is shown that the hexagonal arrays of cylindrical mesopores are oriented parallel to the direction of solution flow when the film is thin enough (similar to 200 nm). Above the critical film thickness, the effect of the directional solution flow is not significant enough such that the orientation near the substrate does not propagate across the entire film, yielding the mixed orientation of mesochannels. In-plane and out-of-plane XRD measurements along with FE-SEM measurements were used to characterize the degree of alignment of mesochannels. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

AB A high quality X-ray spectrum image of a 3.3 mu m diameter sphere of K411 glass resting on a copper substrate was collected at 25 keV. The same sample configuration was modeled using the NISTMonte Monte Carlo simulation of electron and X-ray transport as is integrated into the quantitative X-ray microanalysis software package DTSA-II. The distribution of measured and simulated X-ray intensity compare favorably for all the major lines present in the spectra. The simulation is further examined to investigate the influence of angle-of-incidence, sample thickness, and sample diameter on the generated and measured X-ray intensity. The distribution of generated X-rays is seen to deviate significantly from a naive model which assumes that the distribution of generated X-rays is similar to bulk within the volume they share in common. It is demonstrated that the angle at which the electron beam strikes the sample has nonnegligible consequences. It is also demonstrated that within the volume that the bulk and particle share in common that electrons, which have exited and later reentered the particle volume, generate a significant fraction of the X-rays. Any general model of X-ray generation in particles must take into account the lateral spread of the scattered electron beam.

AB Population loss is often a harbinger of species extinction, but few opportunities exist to follow a species' demography and genetics through both time and space while this occurs. Previous research has shown that the northern fur seal (Callorhinus ursinus) was extirpated from most of its range over the past 200-800 years and that some of the extirpated populations had unique life history strategies. In this study, widespread availability of subfossils in the eastern Pacific allowed us to examine temporal changes in spatial genetic structure during massive population range contraction and partial recovery. We sequenced the mitochondrial control region from 40 ancient and 365 modern samples and analyzed them through extensive simulations within a serial Approximate Bayesian Computation framework. These analyses suggest that the species maintained a high abundance, probably in subarctic refugia, that dispersal rates are likely 85% per generation into new breeding colonies, and that population structure was not higher in the past. Despite substantial loss of breeding range, this species' high dispersal rates and refugia appear to have prevented a loss of genetic diversity. High dispersal rates also suggest that previous evidence for divergent life history strategies in ancient populations likely resulted from behavioral plasticity. Our results support the proposal that panmictic, or nearly panmictic, species with large ranges will be more resilient to future disturbance and environmental change. When appropriately verified, evidence of low population structure can be powerful information for conservation decision-making.

AB Selection during the colonization of new habitat is critical to the process of local adaptation, but has rarely been studied. We measured the form, direction, and strength of selection on body size and date of arrival to the breeding grounds over the first three cohorts (2003-2005) of a coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) population colonizing 33 km of habitat made accessible by modification of Landsburg Diversion Dam, on the Cedar River, Washington, USA. Salmon were sampled as they bypassed the dam, parentage was assigned based on genotypes from 10 microsatellite loci, and standardized selection gradients were calculated using the number of returning adult offspring as the fitness metric. Larger fish in both sexes produced more adult offspring, and the magnitude of the effect increased in subsequent years for males, suggesting that low densities attenuated traditional size-biased intrasexual competition. For both sexes, directional selection favoured early breeders in 2003, but stabilizing selection on breeding date was observed in 2004 and 2005. Adults that arrived, and presumably bred, early produced stream-rearing juvenile offspring that were larger at a common date than offspring from later parents, providing a possible mechanism linking breeding date to offspring viability. Comparison to studies employing similar methodology indicated selection during colonization was strong, particularly with respect to reproductive timing. Finally, female mean reproductive success exceeded that needed for replacement in all years so the population expanded in the first generation, demonstrating that salmon can proficiently exploit vacant habitat.

Emphasis in this article is on the design of the vertical coordinate-the "flow following" aspect of FIM. The coordinate is terrain-following near the ground and isentropic in the free atmosphere. The spatial transition between the two coordinates is adaptive and is based on the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) paradigm. The impact of vertical resolution trade-offs between the present hybrid approach and traditional terrain-following coordinates is demonstrated in a three-part case study.

AB This paper explores the mesoscale forcing and stability evolution of intense precipitation bands in the comma head sector of extratropical cyclones using the 32-km North American Regional Reanalysis, hourly 20-km Rapid Update Cycle analyses, and 2-km composite radar reflectivity data. A statistical and composite analysis of 36 banded events occurring during the 2002-08 cool seasons reveals a common cyclone evolution and associated band life cycle. A majority (61%) of banded events develop along the northern portion of a hook-shaped upper-level potential vorticity (PV) anomaly. During the 6 h leading up to band formation, lower-tropospheric frontogenesis nearly doubles and the conditional stability above the frontal zone is reduced. The frontogenesis increase is primarily due to changes in the kinematic flow associated with the development of a mesoscale geopotential height trough. This trough extends poleward of the 700-hPa low, and is the vertical extension of the surface warm front (and surface warm occlusion when present). The conditional stability near 500 hPa is reduced by differential horizontal potential temperature advection. During band formation, layers of conditional instability above the frontal zone are present nearly 3 times as often as layers of conditional symmetric instability. The frontogenetical forcing peaks during band maturity and is offset by an increase in conditional stability. Band dissipation occurs as the conditional stability continues to increase, and the frontogenesis weakens in response to changes in the kinematic flow.
A set of 22 null events, in which band formation was absent in the comma head, were also examined. Although exhibiting similar synoptic patterns as the banded events, the null events were characterized by weaker frontogenesis. However, statistically significant differences between the midlevel frontogenesis maximum of the banded and null events only appear 2 h prior to band formation, illustrating the challenge of predicting band formation.

AB This paper describes the southerly New York Bight (NYB) jet (11-17 m s(-1)) that develops primarily during the warm season just above the surface offshore (cast) of the northern New Jersey coast and south of Long Island (the NYB). Observations from two offshore buoys are used to develop a 9-yr climatology of 134 jet events from 1997 to 2006. There is a seasonal maximum (2.5 events per month) during June and July, with a skew toward the spring months. The wind directions for the jet trace out a nearly elliptical orbit for the 24-h period around the time of jet maximum at similar to 2300 UTC [1900 eastern daylight time (EDT)] on average. Composites reveal that the NYB jet occurs on days with southwesterly synoptic How, and the jet is part of a larger-scale (200-300 km) wind enhancement offshore of the mid-Atlantic and northeast U.S. coasts during the early evening hours.
High-resolution observations (surface mesonet, aircraft soundings, and a terminal Doppler weather radar) and Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model simulations down to 1.33-km grid spacing are used to diagnose the evolution of the NYB jet on 2 June 2007. The NYB jet at similar to 150 m MSL occurs within the sloping marine inversion near the coast. Low-level trajectories illustrate low-level diffluence and weak subsidence within the jet. A WRF momentum budget highlights the evolving pressure gradient and accelerations during jet formation. The maximum jet winds occur 1-2 h after the peak meridional pressure gradient is established through a geostrophic adjustment process. Sensitivity experiments show that jet occurrence is dependent on diurnal heating and that the concave bend in the southern New Jersey coast limits the southern extent of the jet.

AB On 30 May 2004, a supercell storm was sampled Ova suite of instrumentation that had been deployed as part of the Thunderstorm Electrification and Lightning Experiment (TELEX). The instrumentation included the Oklahoma Lightning Mapping Array (OK-LMA), the National Severe Storms Laboratory S-hand Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler (WSR-88D) polarimetric radar at Norman. Oklahoma. and two mobile C-band, Shared Mobile Atmospheric Research and Teaching Radars (SMART-R). Combined, datasets collected by these instruments provided a unique opportunity to investigate the possible relationships among the supercell's kinematic, microphysical, and electrical characteristics. This study focuses on the evolution of a ring of lightning activity that formed near the main updraft at approximately 0012 UTC, matured near 0039 UTC, and collapsed near 0050 ETC. During this time period, an F2-intensity tornado occurred near the lightning-ring region. Lightning density contours computed over 1-km layers are overlaid on polarimetric and dual-Doppler data to assess the low- and midlevel kinematic and microphysical characteristics within the lightning-ring region. Results indicate that the lightning ring begins in the middle and upper levels of the precipitation-cascade region, which is characterized by inferred graupel. The second time period shows that the lightning source densities take on a horizontal u-shaped pattern that is collocated with midlevel differential reflectivity and correlation coefficient rings and with the strong cyclonic vertical vorticity noted in the dual-Doppler data. The final time period shows dissipation of the u-shaped pattern and the polarimetric signatures as well as an increase in the lightning activity at the lower levels associated with the development of the rear-flank downdraft (RFD) and the envelopment of the vertical vorticity maximum by the RFD.

AB Detailed understanding and optimal control of the properties of Si nanowires are essential steps in developing Si nanoscale circuitry. In this work, we have investigated mechanical properties of as-grown and oxidized Si nanowires as a function of their diameter. From contact-resonance atomic force microscopy measurements, the effect of the compressive stress at the Si-SiO(2) interface was revealed in the diameter dependence of the elastic modulus of Si nanowires oxidized at 900 and 1000 degrees C. A modified core shell model that includes the interface stress developed during oxidation captures the diameter dependence observed in the measured elastic moduli of these oxidized Si nanowires. The values of strain and stress as well as the width of the stressed transition region at the Si-SiO(2) interface agree with those reported in simulations and experiments.

TI Recall Bias in a Sportfishing Mail Survey
SO NORTH AMERICAN JOURNAL OF FISHERIES MANAGEMENT
LA English
DT Article
AB Information on sportfishing activity is often collected through mail and telephone surveys. These surveys may rely on a respondent's memories of a previous year's activity, which are subject to recall errors. Limited research has been conducted to quantify the possible bias caused by recall periods less than 1 year. Data from a 1982 mail survey of registered Texas boat owners were used to determine whether estimated saltwater sport boat fishing effort differed based on recall periods of 1 month and 1 year. The mean annual number of days of saltwater fishing per registered boat owner was statistically similar for the two recall periods although variances were statistically different. However, the number of days of saltwater fishing was about 7.5 times higher for coastal county residents than for inland county residents. The pattern of use among boat access types and fishing areas was generally similar between coastal and inland county residents within each recall period. However, the estimated number of days each access type was used and the reported number of days each area was fished were significantly different between the two recall periods. Saltwater fishing participation estimates based on a 1-year recall could be adjusted using the relationship between the two recall periods to improve accuracy and precision of estimates and to reduce sampling costs. Fisheries managers could more effectively monitor changes in fishing activity for possible development of forecasting models.

DT Article

ESTUARY; STREAMS; RIVER; WILD
AB Rotary screw traps (RSTs) are commonly used for collecting and holding fish swimming downstream. We used these traps to collect Atlantic salmon Salmo salar smolts from multiple rivers draining to the Gulf of Maine from 1996 to 2008. Limited prior evaluations suggest that RSTs cause only minimal mortality, but detailed evaluation of the potential for negative impacts specific to Atlantic salmon and other smolts has not occurred. There are concerns that RSTs contribute to smolt mortality via physical injury during collection or via exposure to stressful holding conditions within RST live-cars. We evaluated the magnitude and causes of mortality associated with our use of RSTs and recorded the water temperatures and velocities present within the live-cars at the times smolts were moving downstream. Of the 24,675 Atlantic salmon smolts collected, 48 (0.2%) were classified as trap-caused mortalities. The most frequent causes of death were physical injuries associated with the clogging of traps with debris and overcrowding of the live-cars. Water velocities within the live-cars ranged from 0.09 to 0.57 m/s, and mean velocities never exceeded the published tolerance limits for Atlantic salmon smolts. The seasonal water temperatures within the live-cars (range, 4.2-20.88 degrees C) were not significantly different from those of the water columns (4.3-21.08 degrees C) adjacent to the traps. Our analysis suggests that, under typical operations, RSTs represent a minimal threat to Atlantic salmon smolts, and we present methods to further reduce the risk.

AB In 2011, steelhead Oncorhynchus mykiss (anadromous rainbow trout) will be systematically transported above Howard Hanson Dam, Green River, Washington. We are interested in providing data to help manage the stock of fish that are selected to recolonize the upper river and to track how resident rainbow trout above the dam respond genetically after 80 years of isolation. We characterized relevant gene pools in the upper Green River before fish transportation with 11 microsatellite loci to evaluate the genetic variability within and among collections. We also examined morphometric and coloration patterns as potential indicators of adaptive variation. Hatchery steelhead are clearly different from wild steelhead (F(ST) = 0.037); genetic assignment tests correctly distinguished 91% of the steelhead. While there was no reduction in the amount of genetic variability in the resident rainbow trout above Howard Hanson Dam compared with that of wild steelhead collections below the dam, the two groups had low but statistically significant differences (F ST 0.03). The transport of juvenile and adult steelhead above the dam in the last 20 years may have affected these genetic results. Two collections of hatchery rainbow trout were highly differentiated from all other collections, and a STRUCTURE analysis indicated that there was no introgression of their genes into Green River fish. Morphologically, significant differences were seen between juvenile resident rainbow trout and steelhead. Resident trout had a stout caudal peduncle and more parr marks, whereas juvenile steelhead had a more elongate tail and fewer parr marks. Given these genetic and phenetic measures of differentiation, managers can monitor and screen the upstream passage of steelhead, and will be able evaluate the level of participation of resident rainbow trout gene pools in the recolonization event.

TI Did the Texas Closure Increase Brown Shrimp Catches off Texas?
SO NORTH AMERICAN JOURNAL OF FISHERIES MANAGEMENT
LA English
DT Article
ID GALVESTON BAY; FISHERY; GULF
AB The annual catch of brown shrimp Farfantepenaeus aztecus off Texas is forecasted by the National Marine Fisheries Service using a model that relates spring (April-June) juvenile abundance in Galveston Bay to subsequent offshore catch (July to the following June). The model is not well documented, nor has it been used rigorously to examine the success of management actions in enhancing the fishery. State and federal agencies use an areal closure of Gulf of Mexico waters deeper than 4 fathoms from late May to early July to increase shrimp abundance, catch, and value by delaying the harvest of emigrating juvenile shrimp. This study reports a preclosure (1960-1980) regression that explained over 70% of the variation in offshore Texas catches as a function of the juvenile abundance index from Galveston Bay. Positive effects of the closure-in terms of increasing the catch for a given level of juvenile abundance in 1981-2007 were not found in this study. However, the utility of the relationship between the juvenile abundance index and catch as a forecasting tool continued through 2007, but with less precision than in the preclosure regression.

AB We assess the potential of using otolith chemistry to differentiate quillback rockfish (Sebastes maliger) within Puget Sound, Washington, where two distinct population segments (DPS) have been identified. Using opportunistic collections (1993-2003) of quillback rockfish (n=77: age range of 2-65 yrs.) we first sought to determine whether fish from different sites and regions could be differentiated based on the trace elemental concentrations at the edge of their otoliths (i.e., the chemical record of the fish's recent history). Results of our quadratic discriminant function analysis (QDFA) indicated significant spatial variability for fish collected at relatively large (regions) and small (sites) spatial scales. Specifically, fish collected from regions in 2002 (San Juan Islands and southern Puget Sound) and 2003 (eastern and western Strait of Juan de Fuca) were correctly classified with 100% and 65% accuracy (based on jack-knife classification), respectively, while fish collected from sites in 1998 (Mukilteo and Foulweather) were classified with 100% accuracy. We also investigated whether we could differentiate fish that were collected from different DPS and regions by using elemental concentrations from their whole otolith (which represents environmental information over the lifetime of a fish). Results from the QDFAs indicated relatively high classification success (80%) when comparing fish collected from either different DPS (i.e., Northern Puget Sound and Puget Sound Proper DPS) or regions (i.e., western and eastern Strait of Juan de Fuca). Findings from this study highlight the value of otolith chemistry in the study of population structure of quillback rockfish in Puget Sound.

AB We sampled fish at eight locations in western Prince William Sound (PWS), Alaska, in April, July, and September 2006, and July 2007, to identify species assemblages and habitat use. At each location, fish were sampled with a 37-m long variable mesh beach seine in three nearshore habitats: bedrock outcrops, eelgrass meadows, and cobble beaches with kelp. A total of 49,060 fish representing 45 species were captured in 95 beach seine hauls. Catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE, all species) did not differ by season but did differ by habitat type CPUE was greater in eelgrass and kelp than in bedrock. Seasonal pulses in catch were evident for some species; pink salmon were captured only in spring and summer, Pacific herring only in summer and fall, and capelin only in fall. Species richness was greater in summer (34) than in spring (23) or fall (28), and greater in eelgrass (34) than in bedrock (22) or kelp (33). Species that were good discriminators among seasonal collections were pink salmon, saffron cod, crescent gunnel, and Pacific herring, whereas species that were good discriminators among habitat collections were crescent gunnel, tubesnout, bay pipefish, saffron cod, and Arctic shanny. Of the most abundant species captured, most were juveniles based on estimated size at maturity. The summer fish assemblage in western PWS has changed over the last 20 years, especially with the appearance in large numbers of saffron cod. Sites in this study can be monitored periodically to track future changes in fish assemblages and habitat that may result from local and regional human disturbance.

The application of XAS in a grazing angle geometry was demonstrated to be essential in order to probe only the surface damaged layer (<1000 nm thick), in isolation of the undamaged interior of the specimen. 2 MeV Kr(+) irradiation induced a change in the Ti co-ordination environment from majority six fold to majority five fold in the amorphised surface layer. This finding is consistent with the formation of five fold Ti in metamict natural zirconolite, as reported previously and confirmed in this study, despite the difference in dose rate of at least 10(12) between ion beam irradiated and naturally metamict materials. This study therefore opens the door to systematic investigation of composition - structure - property relations in materials designed for radioactive waste immobilisation, through the combined application of ion beam irradiation and grazing angle XAS.

AB An eddy-resolving coupled physical-biological model is used to study the effect of cyclonic eddy in enhancing offshore chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) bloom in the southeastern tropical Indian Ocean during boreal summer-fall 2006. The results demonstrate that the offshore Chl-a blooms are markedly coincident with the high eddy kinetic energy. Moreover, the vertical variations in Chl-a, nitrate, temperature, and mixed-layer depth (MLD) strongly imply that the cyclonic eddies induce surface Chl-a bloom through the injection of nutrient-rich water into the upper layer. Interestingly, we found that the surface bloom only occurs when the deep Chl-a maximum is located within the MLD. On the other hand, the response of subsurface Chl-a to the eddy pumping is remarkable, although it is hardly observable at the surface.

TI The Volume of Earth's Ocean
SO OCEANOGRAPHY
LA English
DT Article
AB Despite playing a significant role in the global water cycle, ocean volume has not been re-examined in over 25 years. The main uncertainty associated with ocean volume is the mean ocean depth. The earliest studies tended to overestimate ocean depth due to undersampling of seamounts and ocean ridges. The advent of the echosounder in the 1920s and subsequent ship-borne technologies rapidly increased aerial coverage of the ocean; hence, over time there has been a gradual decrease in calculated mean ocean depth. Today, however, in situ measurements span only similar to 10% of the ocean's surface area. Here, we use satellite altimetry data to estimate the ocean's volume, which is lower by a volume equivalent to 500 times the Great Lakes or five times the Gulf of Mexico when compared to the most recent published estimates.

AB Advances in social and natural sciences provide hope for new approaches to restore the bounty and resilience of ocean ecosystems. From new interdisciplinary approaches and conceptual frameworks, to new tools such as catch shares, ecosystem-based management, marine spatial planning, and marine reserves-to new insights into strategies for adapting to the impacts of climate change and designing resilient and effective institutions, new knowledge is beginning to inform policies and practices. This decade is a pivotal one for the future of the ocean. The confluence of local, regional, and global changes in the ocean driven by stressors, including nutrient pollution, habitat loss, overfishing, and climate change and ocean acidification is rapidly transforming many once bountiful and resilient ocean ecosystems into depleted or disrupted systems. Degraded ecosystems cannot provide key ecosystem services, such as production of seafood, protection of coastlines from severe storms and tsunamis, capture of carbon, and provision of places for recreation. The accelerating pace of change presents daunting challenges for communities, businesses, nations, and the global community to make a transition toward more sustainable practices and policies. In this paper, we highlight new interdisciplinary approaches, tools, and insights that offer hope for recovering the bounty and beauty of the ocean and the ongoing benefits that they provide to people.

AB Several recently developed particle-tracking and imaging methods have achieved three-dimensional sensitivity through the introduction of angled micromirrors into the observation volume of an optical microscope. We model the imaging response of such devices and show how the direct and reflected images of a fluorescent particle are affected. In particle-tracking applications, asymmetric image degradation manifests itself as systematic tracking errors. Based on our results, we identify strategies for reducing systematic errors to the 10 nm level in practical applications.

AB Flexible polyurethane foam used in upholstered furniture remains one of the major fire hazards to date. The heat release rate of burning items made of foam depends strongly on the foam's physical behavior, notably its collapse to a burning liquid that can result in a pool fire. In this contribution, the cone calorimeter was used to study the physical processes and to determine their influence on foam combustion over a range of external heat fluxes. The initial stage of foam collapse can be described as the propagation of a liquid pyrolysis layer through the foam sample. The rate of propagation of the liquid layer was found to depend strongly on the convective heat transfer from the flame, which simultaneously defined and depended on the sample shape. The effective heat of combustion during foam collapse and pool fire was matched to the heat release potential of the components of the foam formulation to deduce which are consumed. The proposed analysis can serve to clarify the mechanism of flame retardant action, as demonstrated for a commercial brominated-phosphorous compound. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

AB This paper presents an improved testing system for isothermal and thermal-cycling experiments of polymers in compression. Due to the low thermal conductivity of polymers and the high thermal mass of commercially available compression platens, significant problems arise: large differences between the prescribed and polymer temperature, temperature variation through the sample and a slow temperature response are observed. Here, in experiments performed on an acrylic network polymer, the largest temperature difference between the core of the cylindrical compression samples (10 mm diameter/height) and the prescribed air temperature reaches 20.7 degrees C and 64.8 degrees C when respective cooling/heating rates of 1 degrees C/min and 10 degrees C/min are used. Based on the analysis of the existing system, an improved compression platen design for thermal management that provides a faster temperature response and a more uniform sample temperature distribution is proposed. The peak temperature difference was reduced to 4.5 degrees C at a cooling/heating rate of 10 degrees C/min using the improved testing system. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) certifies a variety of standard reference materials (SRM) to address specific aspects of instrument performance for divergent beam diffractometers. This paper describes SRM 640d, the fifth generation of this powder diffraction SRM, which is certified with respect to the lattice parameter. It consists of approximately 7.5 g silicon powder specially prepared to produce strain-free particles in a size range between 1 and 10 mu m to eliminate size-broadening effects. It is typically used for calibrating powder diffractometers for the line position and line shape. A NIST built diffractometer, incorporating many advanced design features, was used to certify the lattice parameter of the silicon powder measured at 22.5 degrees C. Both type A, statistical, and type B. systematic, errors have been assigned to yield a certified value for the lattice parameter of a = 0.543 159 +/- 0.000 020 nm.

AB In spring and fall 2005, cross- and along-shelf transects were sampled to evaluate the influence of physical forcing, including sea ice, tides, and winds, on the lower trophic levels of the Bering Sea ecosystem. The hydrography, nutrients, chlorophyll, and zooplankton abundance and species composition were all affected by the presence or absence of sea ice on a north-south transect along the 70-m isobath. In May, shelf waters between similar to 59 degrees N and 62 degrees N were cold and relatively fresh, and benthic invertebrate larvae and chaetognaths were a significant fraction of the zooplankton community, while to the south the water was warmer, saltier, and the zooplankton community was dominated by copepods. The position of the transition between ice-affected and ice-free portions of the shelf was consistent among temperature, salinity, nutrients, and oxygen. This transition in the hydrographic variables persisted through the summer, but it shifted similar to 150 km northward as the season progressed. While a transition also occurred in zooplankton species composition, it was farther north than the physical/chemical transition and did not persist through the summer. Mooring data demonstrated that the change in the position of the transition in physical and chemical properties was due to northward or eastward advection of water onto and across the shelf. From south to north along the 70-m isobath, tidal energy decreased, resulting in a less sharply stratified water column on the northern portion of the middle shelf, as opposed to a well-defined, two-layered system in the southern portion. This more gradual stratification in the north permitted a greater response to mixing from winds, which were homogeneous from north to south. Thus the physical and biological structure at any one location over the middle shelf is dynamic over the course of a year, and results from a combination of in situ processes and climate-mediated regional forcing which is dominated in most years by sea ice.

This approach provides a convenient and well-characterized method for calibrating the absolute response of the system provided that water-vapor-mediated relaxation effects are properly taken into account. We show that for photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS) of the O-2 A-band, the maximum conversion efficiency of absorbed photon energy to acoustic energy is approximately 40% and is limited by finite collision-induced relaxation rates between the two lowest-lying excited electronic states of O-2. PAS also shows great potential for high-resolution line shape measurements: calculated and experimental values for the PAS system response differ by about 1%. [doi:10.1063/1.3436660]

AB A 12.5 GHz-spaced optical frequency comb locked to a global positioning system disciplined oscillator for near-infrared (IR) spectrograph calibration is presented. The comb is generated via filtering a 250 MHz-spaced comb. Subsequent nonlinear broadening of the 12.5 GHz comb extends the wavelength range to cover 1380-1820 nm, providing complete coverage over the H-band transmission window of earth's atmosphere. Finite suppression of spurious sidemodes, optical linewidth, and instability of the comb has been examined to estimate potential wavelength biases in spectrograph calibration. Sidemode suppression varies between 20 and 45 dB, and the optical linewidth is similar to 350 kHz at 1550 nm. The comb frequency uncertainty is bounded by +/- 30 kHz (corresponding to a radial velocity of +/- 5 cm/s), limited by the global positioning system disciplined oscillator reference. These results indicate that this comb can readily support radial velocity measurements below 1 m/s in the near IR. (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3436638]

AB The food sources of the leptocephali of the teleostean superorder Elopomorpha have been controversial, yet observations on the leptocephali of the worm eels, Myrophis spp. (family Ophichthidae) collected in the northern Gulf of Mexico indicate active, not passive, feeding. Leptocephali had protists in their alimentary canals. Estimates of the physiological energetics of worm eels indicate that large aloricate protozoa including ciliates could provide substantial energy to these leptocephali toward the end of the premetamorphic and metamorphic stages, given the low energy requirements of metamorphosing leptocephali. Global ocean warming will likely force a shift in oceanic food webs; a shift away from large protozoa toward smaller protists is possible. Such a disruption of the oceanic food webs could further compromise the survival of leptocephali.

AB A strategy to increase the performance of diaphragm-type transducers is to provide an initial curvature to the diaphragm, which converts in-plane strains to motion normal to the diaphragm surface. In this paper, we analyze and measure the actuation characteristics of composite piezoelectric diaphragms that are biased by a static pressure that induces diaphragm curvature. To analyze the actuation characteristics of the curved-diaphragm transducer, a mathematical model for thin diaphragms relating the applied static pressure to the actuation characteristics is developed. In this model, the elastic response to applied pressure is caused by contributions of plate and membrane components. A linear relationship between applied voltage and boundary strain fluctuations was assumed, which leads to an analytic expression for the quasi-static diaphragm displacement amplitude in terms of diaphragm properties and biasing pressure. This expression shows that there is an upper limit to the displacement amplitude enhancement under piezoelectric actuation when diaphragms are curved by a biasing pressure. Measurements of displacement amplitude and acoustic pressure as a function of static bias pressure on micromachined piezoelectric diaphragms showed the expected behavior, which is typically displacement amplification, and a null when bending and stretching effects cancel. The model predicts that a decrease in residual stresses will increase performance at all biasing pressure levels. Residual stresses can be beneficial in a way, in that the pressure for peak performance may be varied to suit a design constraint. Published by Elsevier B.V.

AB During a pelagic longline pilot study conducted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Marine Fisheries Service, Southeast Fisheries Science Center, Mississippi Laboratories along the US Atlantic Ocean coast (NOAA Ship OREGON II OT-06-02-269), a Caretta caretta (Loggerhead Sea Turtle) was captured with longline gear equipped with time-temperature-depth recorders attached in proximity to hooks. Time-temperature-depth data documented changes in hook depth and water temperature, and reflected behavior of the Loggerhead Sea Turtle (rates of descent and ascent, time at depth, time near surface). Sea turtle mortality mitigation recommendations for pelagic longline gear proved effective for this Loggerhead Sea Turtle capture since there were successive ascents to surface, and the viability status was good after landing.

AB The effects of elastic scattering and photoionization anisotropy have been studied for angle-resolved XPS (ARXPS) instruments in which the angular distribution is measured for a fixed sample geometry, in contrast to conventional ARXPS in which the sample is tilted for angular variation. The analyzed data were generated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology database for the Simulation of Electron Spectra for Surface Analysis, which provides a simple way to study the influence of the aforementioned effects on compositional depth profile reconstruction. The above mentioned effects have been studied for a 15-angstrom film of SiO(2) on Si covered by a 5-angstrom carbon contamination layer. For this sample, the effects of anisotropy were stronger than the effects of elastic scattering. Larger effects of elastic scattering have been observed for HfO(2) sample.

AB The impact of atmospheric industrial emissions on secondary pollutant formation depends on many factors; one of the most important being the environmental setting in which the industry is located. The environmental setting affects an industry's impact on ozone levels through both the air mass dispersion (a function of topography and wind patterns) and the emissions of organic volatile compounds (VOC) and nitrogen oxides (NO (x) ) in the area. This model-based study shows how the sensitivity of surface ozone changes with the choice of source location. For the analysis, seven points distributed along the Tinto-Guadalquivir Basin (in the Southwestern Iberian Peninsula) were selected. This area is characterized by the close proximity of natural environments and crop fields to cities, roads, and industrial areas with high NO (x) emissions. Natural VOC emissions represent more than 60% of the total non-methane volatile organic compounds emitted in the study area. The results reveal that the largest increases in ozone levels are produced when the industry is located both far away from NO (x) emission sources and near to biogenic VOC emissions. Furthermore, the highest increases over the hourly and 8-hourly maximums, as well as the highest accumulated daily values, are found in areas characterized by high VOC/NO (x) emission ratios and NO (x) sensitivity. The study of the recurrent meteorological patterns along with the distribution of chemical indicators of the O(3)-NO (x) -VOC sensitivity allows the determination of the industry's geographical impact on ozone levels. This information enables air quality managers to decide the future location of an industry minimizing its impact on smog levels.

AB Data reduction tools are developed and evaluated using a data analysis framework. Simple (nonadaptive) and intelligent (adaptive) thinning algorithms are applied to both synthetic and real data and the thinned datasets are ingested into an analysis system. The approach is motivated by the desire to better represent high-impact weather features (e. g., fronts, jets, cyclones, etc.) that are often poorly resolved in coarse-resolution forecast models and to efficiently generate a set of initial conditions that best describes the current state of the atmosphere. As a precursor to real-data applications, the algorithms are applied to one- and two-dimensional synthetic datasets. Information gleaned from the synthetic experiments is used to create a thinning algorithm that combines the best aspects of the intelligent methods (i.e., their ability to detect regions of interest) while reducing the impacts of spatial irregularities in the data. Both simple and intelligent thinning algorithms are then applied to Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) temperature and moisture profiles. For a given retention rate, background, and observation error, the optimal 1D analyses (i.e., lowest MSE) tend to have observations that are near regions of large curvature and gradients. Observation error leads to the selection of spurious data in homogeneous regions of the intelligent algorithms. In the 2D experiments, simple thinning tends to perform better within the homogeneous data regions. Analyses produced using AIRS data demonstrate that observations selected via a combination of the simple and intelligent approaches reduce clustering, provide a more even distribution along the satellite swath edges, and, in general, have lower error and comparable computational requirements compared to standard operational thinning methodologies.

AB A two-dimensional variational method is used to analyze 2-m air temperatures over a limited domain (4 degrees latitude x 4 degrees longitude) in order to evaluate approaches to examining the sensitivity of the temperature analysis to the specification of observation and background errors. This local surface analysis (LSA) utilizes the 1-h forecast from the Rapid Update Cycle (RUC) downscaled to a 5-km resolution terrain level for its background fields and observations obtained from the Meteorological Assimilation Data Ingest System.
The observation error variance as a function of broad network categories and the error variance and covariance of the downscaled 1-h RUC background fields are estimated using a sample of over 7 million 2-m air temperature observations in the continental United States collected during the period 8 May-7 June 2008. The ratio of observation to background error variance is found to be between 2 and 3. This ratio is likely even higher in mountainous regions where representativeness errors attributed to the observations are large.
The technique used to evaluate the sensitivity of the 2-m air temperature to the ratio of the observation and background error variance and background error length scales is illustrated over the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia for a particularly challenging case (0900 UTC 22 October 2007) when large horizontal temperature gradients were present in the mountainous regions as well as over two entire days (20 and 27 May 2009). Sets of data denial experiments in which observations are randomly and uniquely removed from each analysis are generated and evaluated. This method demonstrates the effects of overfitting the analysis to the observations.

AB Verification methods for high-resolution forecasts have been based either on filtering or on objects created by thresholding the images. The filtering methods do not easily permit the use of deformation while identifying objects based on thresholds can be problematic. In this paper, a new approach is introduced in which the observed and forecast fields are broken down into a mixture of Gaussians, and the parameters of the Gaussian mixture model fit are examined to identify translation, rotation, and scaling errors. The advantages of this method are discussed in terms of the traditional filtering or object-based methods and the resulting scores are interpreted on a standard verification dataset.

TI Assessing the Impacts of Proximity Sounding Criteria on the Climatology
of Significant Tornado Environments
SO WEATHER AND FORECASTING
LA English
DT Article
ID STORM-RELATIVE HELICITY; SUPERCELL; SHEAR; WIND
AB Proximity sounding studies typically seek to optimize several trade-offs that involve somewhat arbitrary definitions of how to define a "proximity sounding.'' More restrictive proximity criteria, which presumably produce results that are more characteristic of the near-storm environment, typically result in smaller sample sizes that can reduce the statistical significance of the results. Conversely, the use of broad proximity criteria will typically increase the sample size and the apparent robustness of the statistical analysis, but the sounding data may not necessarily be representative of near-storm environments, given the presence of mesoscale variability in the atmosphere. Previous investigations have used a wide range of spatial and temporal proximity criteria to analyze severe storm environments. However, the sensitivity of storm environment climatologies to the proximity definition has not yet been rigorously examined.
In this study, a very large set (similar to 1200) of proximity soundings associated with significant tornado reports is used to generate distributions of several parameters typically used to characterize severe weather environments. Statistical tests are used to assess the sensitivity of the parameter distributions to the proximity criteria. The results indicate that while soundings collected too far in space and time from significant tornadoes tend to be more representative of the larger-scale environment than of the storm environment, soundings collected too close to the tornado also tend to be less representative due to the convective feedback process. The storm environment itself is thus optimally sampled at an intermediate spatiotemporal range referred to here as the Goldilocks zone. Implications of these results for future proximity sounding studies are discussed.

AB A two-season observing system experiment (OSE) was used to quantify the impacts of assimilating the WindSat surface winds product developed by the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL). The impacts of assimilating these surface winds were assessed by comparing the forecast results through 168 h for the months of October 2006 and March 2007. The National Centers for Environmental Prediction's (NCEP) Global Data Assimilation/Global Forecast System (GDAS/GFS) was used, at a resolution of T382-64 layers, as the assimilation system and forecast model for these experiments.
A control simulation utilizing all the data types assimilated in the operational GDAS was compared to an experimental simulation that added the WindSat surface winds. Quality control procedures required to assimilate the surface winds are discussed. Anomaly correlations (ACs) of geopotential heights at 1000 and 500 hPa were evaluated for the control and experiment during both seasons. The geographical distribution of the forecast impacts (FIs) on the wind field and temperature fields at 10-m height and 500 hPa is also discussed.
The results of this study show that assimilating the surface wind retrievals from the WindSat satellite improve the NCEP GFS wind and temperature forecasts. A positive FI, which suggests that the error growth of the experiment is slower than the control, has been realized in the NCEP GDAS/GFS wind and temperature forecasts through 24 h. The WindSat experiment AC scores are similar to the control simulation AC scores until the day 6 forecasts, when the improvements in the WindSat experiment become greater for both seasons and in most of the cases.

PREDICTABILITY; ENSO; ENSEMBLE
AB This study assesses the real-time seasonal forecasts for 2005-08 with the current National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Climate Forecast System (CFS). The forecasts are compared with retrospective forecasts (or hindcasts) for 1981-2004 to examine the consistency of the forecast system, and with the Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project (AMIP) simulations forced with observed sea surface temperatures (SSTs) to contrast the realized skill against the potential predictability due to the specification of the observed sea surface temperatures. The analysis focuses on the forecasts of SSTs, 2-m surface air temperature (T2M), and precipitation.
The CFS forecasts maintained a good level of prediction skill for SSTs in the tropical Pacific, the western Indian Ocean, and the northern Atlantic. The SST forecast skill is within the range of hindcast skill levels calculated with 4-yr windows, which can vary greatly associated with the interannual El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) variability. Overall, the SST forecast skill over the globe is comparable to the average of the hindcast skill. For the tropical eastern Pacific, however, the forecast skill at lead times longer than 2months is less than the average hindcast skill due to the relativelyweaker ENSOvariability during the forecast period (2005-08). The forecasts and hindcasts show a similar level of precipitation skill over most of the globe. For T2M, the spatial distribution of skill differs substantially between the forecasts and hindcasts. In particular, the T2M skill of the forecasts for the Northern Hemisphere during its warm seasons is lower than that of the hindcasts.
Comparison with the AMIP simulations shows similar levels of precipitation skill over the tropical Pacific. Over the tropical Indian Ocean, the CFS forecasts show a substantially higher level of skill than the AMIP simulations for a large part of the period. This conforms with the results from previous studies that while interannual variability in the tropical Pacific atmosphere is slaved to the underlying SST anomalies, specification of SSTs (as for the AMIP simulations) in the Indian Ocean may lead to incorrect simulation of the atmospheric variability. Over the tropical Atlantic, the precipitation skill of both the CFS forecasts and AMIP simulations is low, suggesting that SSTs have less control over the atmospheric anomalies and the predictability is low.
The analysis reveals several deficiencies in the current CFS that need to be corrected for improved seasonal forecasting. For example, the CFS tends to consistently forecast larger ENSO amplitude and delayed transition between the ENSO phases. Forecasts of T2M also have a strong cold bias in Northern Hemisphere mid-to high latitudes during warm seasons. This error is due to initial soil moisture anomalies, which appear to be too wet compared with two other observational analyses. The strong impacts of soil moisture on the seasonal forecasts, and large discrepancies among the soil moisture analyses, call for more accurate specification of soil moisture. Furthermore, average forecast SST and T2M anomalies for 2005-08 show a cold bias over the entire globe, indicating that the model is unable to maintain the observed long-term warming trend.

AB Superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) have emerged as a highly promising infrared single-photon detector technology. Next-generation devices are being developed with enhanced detection efficiency (DE) at key technological wavelengths via the use of optical cavities. Furthermore, new materials and substrates are being explored for improved fabrication versatility, higher DE, and lower dark counts. We report on the practical performance of packaged NbTiN SNSPDs fabricated on oxidized silicon substrates in the wavelength range from 830 to 1700 nm. We exploit constructive interference from the SiO2/Si interface in order to achieve enhanced front-side fiber-coupled DE of 23.2 % at 1310 nm, at 1 kHz dark count rate, with 60 ps full width half maximum timing jitter.

AB Seasonal and interannual variations of sea surface temperature (SST) in the Banda Sea are studied for the period of January 1985 through December 2007. A neural network pattern recognition approach based on self-organizing map (SOM) has been applied to monthly SST from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) Oceans Pathfinder. The principal conclusions of this paper are outlined as follows. There are three different patterns associated with the variations in the monsoonal winds: the southeast and northwest monsoon patterns, and the monsoon-break patterns. The southeast monsoon pattern is characterized by low SST due to the prevailing southeasterly winds that drive Ekman upwelling. The northwest monsoon pattern, on the other hand, is one of high SST distributed uniformly in space. The monsoon-break pattern is a transitional pattern between the northwest and southeast monsoon patterns, which is characterized by moderate SST patterns. On interannual time-scale, the SST variations are significantly influenced by the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) phenomena. Low SST is observed during El Nino and/or positive IOD events, while high SST appears during La Nina event. Low SST in the Banda Sea during positive IOD event is induced by upwelling Kelvin waves generated in the equatorial Indian Ocean which propagate along the southern coast of Sumatra and Java before entering the Banda Sea through the Lombok and Ombai Straits as well as through the Timor Passage. On the other hand, during El Nino (La Nina) events, upwelling (downwelling) Rossby waves associated with off-equatorial divergence (convergence) in response to the equatorial westerly (easterly) winds in the Pacific, partly scattered into the Indonesian archipelago which in turn induce cool (warm) SST in the Banda Sea.

AB Haywood et al. (2004) show that an aerosol layer above a cloud can cause a bias in the retrieved cloud optical thickness and effective radius. Monitoring for this potential bias is difficult because space-based passive remote sensing cannot unambiguously detect or characterize aerosol above cloud. We show that cloud retrievals from aircraft measurements above cloud and below an overlying aerosol layer are a means to test this bias. The data were collected during the Intercontinental Chemical Transport Experiment (INTEX-A) study based out of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, United States, above extensive, marine stratus cloud banks affected by industrial outflow. Solar Spectral Flux Radiometer (SSFR) irradiance measurements taken along a lower level flight leg above cloud and below aerosol were unaffected by the overlying aerosol. Along upper level flight legs, the irradiance reflected from cloud top was transmitted through an aerosol layer. We compare SSFR cloud retrievals from below-aerosol legs to satellite retrievals from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) in order to detect an aerosol-induced bias. In regions of small variation in cloud properties, we find that SSFR and MODIS-retrieved cloud optical thickness compares within the uncertainty range for each instrument while SSFR effective radius tend to be smaller than MODIS values (by 1-2 mu m) and at the low end of MODIS uncertainty estimates. In regions of large variation in cloud properties, differences in SSFR and MODIS-retrieved cloud optical thickness and effective radius can reach values of 10 and 10 mu m, respectively. We include aerosols in forward modeling to test the sensitivity of SSFR cloud retrievals to overlying aerosol layers. We find an overlying absorbing aerosol layer biases SSFR cloud retrievals to smaller effective radii and optical thickness while nonabsorbing aerosols had no impact.

We adopt a model to describe the universal behaviour of strongly interacting bosonic systems, and we test its validity by reproducing predictions of three-and four-body universal states. Then, we extend our study to larger systems and identify a series of universal cluster states that can be qualitatively interpreted as adding one particle at a time to an Efimov trimer. The properties of these cluster states and their experimental signatures are discussed.

AB We propose a method for controllable preparation and detection of interaction-induced ferromagnetism in ultracold fermionic atoms loaded in optical superlattices. First, we discuss how to probe and control Nagaoka ferromagnetism in an array of isolated plaquettes (four lattice sites arranged in a square). Then, we allow for weak interplaquette tunneling. Since ferromagnetism is unstable in the presence of weak interplaquette couplings, we propose to mediate long-range ferromagnetic correlations via double-exchange processes by exciting atoms to the first vibrational band. We calculate the phase diagram of the two-band plaquette array and discuss conditions for the stability and robustness of the ferromagnetic phases in this system. Experimental implementation of the proposed schemes is discussed.

AB We demonstrate a close relationship between superconductivity and the dimensions of the Fe-Se(Te) tetrahedron in FeSe0.5Te0.5. This is done by exploiting thin film epitaxy, which provides controlled biaxial stress, both compressive and tensile, to distort the tetrahedron. The Se/Te height within the tetrahedron is found to be of crucial importance to superconductivity, in agreement with the scenario that (pi, pi) spin fluctuations promote superconductivity in Fe superconductors.

TI Effects of Disorder and Internal Dynamics on Vortex Wall Propagation
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS

DT Article
ID MAGNETIC DOMAIN-WALL; SHIFT REGISTER; NANOWIRES; MOTION; STRIPS
AB Experimental measurements of domain wall propagation are typically interpreted by comparison to reduced models that ignore both the effects of disorder and the internal dynamics of the domain wall structure. Using micromagnetic simulations, we study vortex wall propagation in magnetic nanowires induced by fields or currents in the presence of disorder. We show that the disorder leads to increases and decreases in the domain wall velocity depending on the conditions. These results can be understood in terms of an effective damping that increases as disorder increases. As a domain wall moves through disorder, internal degrees of freedom get excited, increasing the energy dissipation rate.

AB Background: The threespot damselfish, Stegastes planifrons (Cuvier), is important in mediating interactions among corals, algae, and herbivores on Caribbean coral reefs. The preferred microhabitat of S. planifrons is thickets of the branching staghorn coral Acropora cervicornis. Within the past few decades, mass mortality of A. cervicornis from white-band disease and other factors has rendered this coral a minor ecological component throughout most of its range.
Methodology/Principal Findings: Survey data from Jamaica (heavily fished), Florida and the Bahamas (moderately fished), the Cayman Islands (lightly to moderately fished), and Belize (lightly fished) indicate that distributional patterns of S. planifrons are positively correlated with live coral cover and topographic complexity. Our results suggest that species-specific microhabitat preferences and the availability of topographically complex microhabitats are more important than the abundance of predatory fish as proximal controls on S. planifrons distribution and abundance.
Conclusions/Significance: The loss of the primary microhabitat of S. planifrons-A. cervicornis-has forced a shift in the distribution and recruitment of these damselfish onto remaining high-structured corals, especially the Montastraea annularis species complex, affecting coral mortality and algal dynamics throughout the Caribbean.

AB Understanding acid reaction-diffusion kinetics is crucial for controlling the lithographic performance of chemically amplified photoresists. In this work, we study how the molecular architectures of positive-tone chemically amplified molecular glass resists affect the acid reaction-diffusion kinetics during the post-expose bake (PEB) or annealing step. We compare the acid reaction-diffusion kinetics of a common photoacid generator in molecular glass resists with chemical similarity to poly(4-hydroxystyrene), and that are designed with branched and ring architectures. In situ Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy methods are used to measure reaction rate, acid trapping behavior, and acid diffusivity as a function of PE B temperature. We find that the acid reaction-diffusion kinetics in molecular glass resists is correlated to the film molar density that in turn depends on the architecture of the molecular glass molecules. These results allow modeling of the latent image formation in molecular glass resists that is critical for pattern feature resolution and line ethic roughness. A comparison between experimentally measured and theoretically predicted diffusion lengths in one molecular glass resist system was made. Because little is understood of the fundamentals of acid diffusion in this class of molecular glass resists, this paper provides critical insight into the molecular design of next-generation photoresists for high-resolution lithography.

AB The pressure, P, and their temperature derivative (partial derivative P/partial derivative T)(V), of binary mixture 0.7393H(2)O + 0.2607NH(3) has been measured in the near- and supercritical regions. Measurements were made in the immediate vicinity of the liquid-gas coexistence curve (one- and two-phase regions) using a high-temperature, high-pressure, nearly constant-volume adiabatic piezo-calorimeter. Measurements were made along 40 liquid and vapor isochores in the range from 120.03 kg m(-3) to 671.23 kg m(-3) and at temperatures from 403 K to 633 K and at pressures up to 28 MPa. Temperatures at the liquid-gas phase transition curve, Ts(p), for each measured density (isochore) were obtained using the quasi-static thermograms technique. The expanded uncertainty of the pressure, P. and temperature derivative, (partial derivative P/partial derivative T)(V), measurements at the 95% confidence level with a coverage factor of k = 2 is estimated to be 0.05% and 0.12-1.5% (depending on temperature and pressure), respectively. The direct measured pressures. P, and temperature derivatives, (partial derivative P/partial derivative T)(V), has been used to calculate the internal pressure (or energy-volume coefficient) as (partial derivative P/partial derivative T)(T) = T(partial derivative P/partial derivative T)(V) - P. We also measured the temperature derivatives of the internal energy (partial derivative P/partial derivative T)(V) = C-V (isochoric heat capacity) using the same apparatus. The measurements were made at isochoric heating of the system at quasie-quilibrium conditions. The effect of pressure, temperature, and concentration on the internal pressure was studied. The measured values of pressure (P-S), temperature derivative, (partial derivative P/partial derivative T)(VS), temperature (T-S) and density (rho(S)) at the saturation curve together with isochoric heat capacity measurements were used to calculate other thermodynamic properties of the mixture at the bubble- and dew-pressure points curves. Some unusual "appendix type shape" behavior of the (partial derivative P/partial derivative T)(V) and internal pressure, P,, near the critical and maxcondetherm points (in the retrograde region) was found.

AB Submicron atmospheric aerosol particles were collected between 1 March 2008 and 1 March 2009 at Barrow, Alaska, to characterize the organic mass (OM) in the Arctic aerosol. Organic functional group concentrations and trace metals were measured with FTIR on submicron particles collected on Teflon filters. The OM varied from 0.07 mu g m(-3) in summer to 0.43 mu g m(-3) in winter, and 0.35 mu g m(-3) in spring, showing a transition in OM composition between spring and winter. Most of the OM in spring could be attributed to anthropogenic sources, consisting primarily of alkane and carboxylic acid functional groups and correlated to elemental tracers of industrial pollution, biomass burning, and shipping emissions. PMF analysis associated OM with two factors, a Mixed Combustion factor (MCF) and an Ocean-derived factor (ODF). Back trajectory analysis revealed that the highest fractions of the MCF were associated with air masses that had originated from northeastern Asia and the shipping lanes south of the Bering Straits. The ODF consisted of organic hydroxyl groups and correlated with organic and inorganic seawater components. The ODF accounted for more than 55% of OM in winter when the sampled air masses originated along the coastal and lake regions of the Northwest Territories of Canada. Frost flowers with organic-salt coatings that arise by brine rejection during sea ice formation may account for this large source of carbohydrate-like OM during the ice-covered winter season. While the anthropogenic sources contributed more than 0.3 mu g m(-3) of the springtime haze OM, ocean-derived particles provided comparable OM sources in winter. Citation: Shaw, P. M., L. M.

AB NEXAFS spectroscopy was used to probe the surface composition and under-water surface reconstruction of thin films of comb-like diblock copolymers with cylindrical and spherical microphases. The polymers consisted of a polystyrene block, and a second block prepared from a styrenic monomer grafted with fluoroalkyl-tagged poly(ethylene glycol) side chains. Compositional depth profiling of the microphase separated block copolymer films, in the top 1-3 nm of the film, was performed to understand the role of block copolymer microstructure and self-assembly on surface composition. Using experimentally determined concentration profiles, the surface concentration of phenyl ring carbon atoms was quantified and compared with those of homopolymer and random copolymer controls. The carbon atoms from the relatively high surface energy phenyl groups were depleted or excluded from the surface, in favor of the low surface-energy fluoroalkyl groups. While it is expected that block copolymer surfaces will be completely covered by a wetting lamellar layer oft he lower surface energy block, a significant amount of the higher surface energy polystyrene block was found to be present in the surface region of the cylinder-forming block copolymer. Evidently, the spontaneous formation of the cylindrical polystyrene micro-domains in the near-surface region compensated for the lowering of the free energy that could have been achieved by completely covering the surfaces with a lamellar layer of the lower surface energy fluorinated block. All surfaces underwent molecular reconstruction after immersion in water. The experimental concentration depth profiles indicated an increased surface depletion of phenyl ring carbon atoms in the water-immersed thin films, due to the tendency of hydrophilic PEG side groups to be present at the polymer water interface. Such a detailed characterization of the outermost layers of the block copolymer surfaces was possible because of the exceptional depth resolution of the NEXAFS depth profiling technique.

AB Advanced quantum information science and technology (QIST) applications place exacting demands on optical components. Quantum waveguide circuits offer a route to scalable QIST on a chip. Superconducting single-photon detectors (SSPDs) provide infrared single-photon sensitivity combined with low dark counts and picosecond timing resolution. In this study, we bring these two technologies together. Using SSPDs we observe a two-photon interference visibility of 92.3 +/- 1.0% in a silica-on-silicon waveguide directional coupler at lambda=804 nm-higher than that measured with silicon detectors (89.9 +/- 0.3%). We further operated controlled-NOT gate and quantum metrology circuits with SSPDs. These demonstrations present a clear path to telecom-wavelength quantum waveguide circuits.

AB We report on the observation of second-order infrared (IR) plasmon resonances in lithographically prepared gold nanorods investigated by means of far-field microscopic IR spectroscopy. In addition to the fundamental antennalike mode, even and odd higher order resonances are observed under normal incidence of light. The activation of even-order modes under normal incidence is surprising since even orders are dipole-forbidden because of their centrosymmetric charge density oscillation. Performing atomic force microscopy and calculations with the boundary element method, we determine that excitation of even modes is enabled by symmetry breaking by structural deviations of the rods from an ideal, straight shape.

AB Superconducting digital circuits based on Josephson junctions with amorphous niobium-silicon (a-NbSi) barriers have been designed, fabricated, and tested. Single-flux-quantum (SFQ) shift registers operated with +/- 30% bias margins, confirming junction reproducibility and uniformity. Static digital dividers operated up to 165 GHz for a single value of bias current, which was only marginally slower than circuits fabricated with externally shunted AlOx-barrier junctions having a comparable critical current density of 4.5 kA/cm(2). In comparison, self-shunted a-NbSi junctions enabled a doubling in circuit density. This and their relatively thick 10 nm barriers could increase the yield of complex SFQ circuits.

AB We show, via simulations, that an optical fiber taper waveguide can be an efficient tool for photoluminescence and resonant, extinction spectroscopy of single emitters, such as molecules or colloidal quantum dots, deposited on the surface of a thin dielectric membrane. Placed over a high refractive index membrane, a tapered fiber waveguide induces the formation of hybrid mode waves, akin to dielectric slotted waveguide modes, that provide strong field confinement in the low index gap region. The availability of such gap-confined waves yields potentially high spontaneous emission enhancement factors (approximate to 20), fluorescence collection efficiencies (approximate to 23%), and transmission extinction (approximate to 20%) levels. A factor of two improvement in fluorescence and extinction levels is predicted if the membrane is instead replaced with a suspended channel waveguide. Two configurations, for operation in the visible (approximate to 600 nm) and near-infrared (approximate to 1300 nm) spectral ranges are evaluated, presenting similar performances.

AB This work presents a new sequential injection analysis (SIA) method and a module for simultaneous and real-time monitoring of three key parameters for the beverage industry, i.e., the sugar content (measured in Brix), color and dissolved CO2. Detection of the light reflection at the liquid interface (the schlieren effect) of sucrose and water was utilized for sucrose content measurement. A near infrared LED (890 +/- 40 nm) was chosen as the light source to ensure that all the ingredients and dyes in soft drinks will not interfere by contributing light absorption. A linear calibration was obtained for sucrose over a wide concentration range (3.1-46.5 Brix). The same module can be used to monitor the color of the soft drink as well as the dissolved CO2 during production. For measuring the color, the sample is segmented between air plugs to avoid dispersion. An RGB-LED was chosen as the light source in order to make this module applicable to a wide range of colored samples. The module also has a section where dissolved CO2 is measured via vaporization of the gas from the liquid phase. Dissolved CO2, in a flowing acceptor stream of water resulting in the change of the acceptor conductivity, is detected using an in-house capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detector ((CD)-D-4). The module includes a vaporization unit that is also used to degas the carbonated drink, prior the measurements of sucrose and color within the same system. The method requires no chemicals and is therefore completely friendly to the environment. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB During 2009, the Arctic Oscillation (AO) index was exceptionally negative during four months, which was unprecedented in a 60-year record extending back to 1950. The negative phase of the AO corresponded to a nearly zonally symmetric anomaly of temperature and pressure over the middle-to-high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere. Consistent with the strong negative phase of the AO, below-average temperatures were also observed over North America and parts of Eurasia during June, July, October, and December 2009. Although the impact of the AO on 2-meter temperatures was near zero when averaged over the entire hemisphere (20 degrees-90 degrees N), positive anomalies were evident in the residual pattern of observed temperature. The residual, along with observed below-average stratospheric temperatures, are consistent with anthropogenic climate projections. The possible implication of the recent negative values on the long-term AO trend is also discussed. Citation: L'Heureux, M., A. Butler, B. Jha, A. Kumar, and W.

AB There are many important processes where the stability of nanoparticles can change due to changes in solution environment. These processes are often difficult to study under controlled changes to the solution conditions. Dynamic light scattering was used to measure the initial kinetics of aggregation of carboxylated polystyrene nanoparticles after well-defined pH jumps using aqueous solutions of photoacid generator (PAG). With this approach, the pH of the solution was controlled by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light without the delays from mixing or stirring. The aggregation kinetics of the nanoparticles was extremely sensitive to the solution pH. The UV exposure dose is inversely correlated with the resulting surface charge of the nanoparticles. Decreasing pH decreases the electrostatic repulsion force between particles and leads to aggregation. The reaction-limited or diffusion-limited aggregation kinetics was sensitive to the pH quench depth, relative to the acid-equilibrium constant (pK(a)) of the surface carboxylic acid groups on the nanoparticles. Since numerous PAGs are commercially available, this approach provides a flexible method to study the aggregation of a variety of solvent-dispersed nanoparticle systems. [doi: 10.1063/1.3425883]

AB Measurements made with a ship-based Doppler wind lidar during the summertime 2006 Texas Air Quality Study are used to study the relationship between lower-tropospheric vertical structure and winds and ozone (O-3) concentrations in Houston, Texas, under two different flow regimes. We observed that strong southerly flow regimes, dominated by the subtropical anticyclone (Bermuda high) off the Atlantic coast of the United States, resulted in strong (i.e., high wind speed) onshore nocturnal low-level jets (LLJ) and low O-3 and oxidant O-x (where O-x = O-3 + NO2) concentrations at night and the following afternoon. In contrast, periods dominated by northerly or easterly flow resulted in relatively weak (low wind speed), but still onshore, nocturnal LLJs associated with higher concurrent and next-day concentrations of O-3 and O-x. We present lidar data from 24 h example periods for each of these conditions and demonstrate how each type of flow regime is related to in situ ship-based ozone measurements. We expanded the study to include all days during the study when the ship was near Houston, to demonstrate how the strength of the meridional winds aloft show a better relationship to concurrent ship-measured O-x concentrations than the winds near the surface do. We found a strong relationship between a parameterization of the observed nocturnal jets, which reflect the synoptic conditions, to peak hourly O-3 measured the next day at the ship and averaged throughout the Houston/Galveston/Brazoria continuous ambient monitoring stations monitoring network, indicating potential applications for planning air quality.

TI Core-Shell Magnetic Morphology of Structurally Uniform Magnetite

SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS
LA English
DT Article
ID SANS; HE-3
AB A new development in small-angle neutron scattering with polarization analysis allows us to directly extract the average spatial distributions of magnetic moments and their correlations with three-dimensional directional sensitivity in any magnetic field. Applied to a collection of spherical magnetite nanoparticles 9.0 nm in diameter, this enhanced method reveals uniformly canted, magnetically active shells in a nominally saturating field of 1.2 T. The shell thickness depends on temperature, and it disappears altogether when the external field is removed, confirming that these canted nanoparticle shells are magnetic, rather than structural, in origin.

TI Rapid Assessment of Stony Coral Richness and Condition on Saba Bank,

SO PLOS ONE

DT Article
ID CLIMATE-CHANGE; REEFS; COMMUNITY; IMPACTS; FLORIDA
AB The benthic habitats of Saba Bank (17 degrees 25'N, 63 degrees 30'W) are at risk from maritime traffic, especially oil tankers (e.g., anchoring). To mitigate this risk, information is needed on the biodiversity and location of habitats to develop a zone use plan. A rapid survey to document the biodiversity of macro-algae, sponges, corals and fishes was conducted. Here we report on the richness and condition of stony coral species at 18 select sites, and we test for the effects of bottom type, depth, and distance from platform edge. Species richness was visually assessed by roving scuba diver with voucher specimens of each species collected. Coral tissue was examined for bleaching and diseases. Thirty-three coral species were documented. There were no significant differences in coral composition among bottom types or depth classes (ANOSIM, P>0.05). There was a significant difference between sites (ANOSIM, P<0.05) near and far from the platform edge. The number of coral species observed ranged from zero and one in algal dominated habitats to 23 at a reef habitat on the southern edge of the Bank. Five reef sites had stands of Acropora cervicornis, a critically endangered species on the IUCN redlist. Bleaching was evident at 82% of the sites assessed with 43 colonies bleached. Only three coral colonies were observed to have disease. Combining our findings with that of other studies, a total of 43 species have been documented from Saba Bank. The coral assemblage on the bank is representative and typical of those found elsewhere in the Caribbean. Although our findings will help develop effective protection, more information is needed on Saba Bank to create a comprehensive zone use plan. Nevertheless, immediate action is warranted to protect the diverse coral reef habitats documented here, especially those containing A. cervicornis.

AB We present new far-ultraviolet observations of the young M8 brown dwarf 2MASS J12073346-3932539, which is surrounded by an accretion disk. The data were obtained using the Hubble Space Telescope-Cosmic Origins Spectrograph. Moderate-resolution spectra (R approximate to 17,000-18,000) obtained in the 1150-1750 angstrom and 2770-2830 angstrom bandpasses reveal H-2 emission excited by H I Ly alpha photons, several ionization states of carbon (C I-C IV), and hot gas emission lines of He II and N V (T approximate to 10(4)-10(5) K). Emission from some species that would be found in a typical thermal plasma at this temperature (Si II, Si III, Si IV, and Mg II) is not detected. The non-detections indicate that these refractory elements are depleted into grains, and that accretion shocks dominate the production of the hot gas observed on 2MASS J12073346-3932539. We use the observed C IV luminosity to constrain the mass accretion rate in this system. We use the kinematically broadened H-2 profile to confirm that the majority of the molecular emission arises in the disk, measure the radius of the inner hole of the disk (R-hole approximate to 3R(*)), and constrain the physical conditions of the warm molecular phase of the disk (T(H-2) approximate to 2500-4000 K). A second, most likely unresolved H-2 component is identified. This feature is either near the stellar surface in the region of the accretion shock or in a molecular outflow, although the possibility that this Jovian-like emission arises on the dayside disk of a 6 M-J companion (2M1207b) cannot be conclusively ruled out. In general, we find that this young brown dwarf disk system is a low-mass analog to classical T Tauri stars that are observed to produce H-2 emission from a warm layer in their disks, such as the well-studied TW Hya and DF Tau systems.

AB Rate constants for the gas phase reactions of OH radicals with two isomers of tetrafluoropropene, CH2=CF-CF3 (k(1)) and trans-CHF=CH-CF3 (k(2)); were measured using a flash photolysis resonance-fluorescence technique over the temperature range 220 to 370 K. The Arrhenius plots were found to exhibit a noticeable curvature. The temperature dependences of the rate constants are very weak and can be represented by the following expressions over the indicated temperature intervals:
k(1)(220-298 K) = 1.45 x 10(-12) x exp{13/T} cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1)
k(1)(298-370 K) = 4.06 x 10(-13) x (T/298)(1.17) x exp{+296/T} cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1)
k(2)(220-370 K) = 1.115 x 10(-13) x (T/298)(2.03) x exp{+552/T} cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1)
The overall accuracy of the rate constant measurements is estimated to be ca. 2% to 2.5% at the 95% confidence level. The uncertainty of the measured reaction rate constants is discussed in detail. The atmospheric lifetimes due to reactions with tropospheric OH were estimated to be 12 and 19 days respectively under the assumption of a well mixed atmosphere. IR absorption cross-sections were measured for both compounds and their global warming potentials were estimated.

AB A neutron scattering methodology is proposed to simultaneously determine the total hydrogen adsorption, the excess hydrogen adsorption, and hydrogen gas confined in the porous sample. This method is capable of an absolute measurement of the hydrogen content without need for any calibration. It involves the least amount of corrections and is not likely to be affected by the instrumental factors compared to the traditional gravimetric and volumetric methods. We used this method to study the physisorption behavior at room temperature (RT) of a Pt-doped activated carbon sample as a function of hydrogen pressure. This method will become a simple and important tool for solving various problems arising from the traditional measurements of RT hydrogen storage capacities. It can be combined with an in situ small-angle neutron scattering to study the hydrogen spillover effect in the kinetic adsorption process. Storage capacity and spatial distribution of the hydrogen adsorbed due to spillover are concurrently revealed.

PROFILES; QUALITY; ARGO; XBT
AB A large (similar to 10(23) J) multi-decadal globally averaged warming signal in the upper 300 m of the world's oceans was reported roughly a decade ago(1) and is attributed to warming associated with anthropogenic greenhouse gases(2,3). The majority of the Earth's total energy uptake during recent decades has occurred in the upper ocean(3), but the underlying uncertainties in ocean warming are unclear, limiting our ability to assess closure of sea-level budgets(4-7), the global radiation imbalance(8) and climate models(5). For example, several teams have recently produced different multi-year estimates of the annually averaged global integral of upper-ocean heat content anomalies (hereafter OHCA curves) or, equivalently, the thermosteric sea-level rise(5,9-16). Patterns of inter-annual variability, in particular, differ among methods. Here we examine several sources of uncertainty that contribute to differences among OHCA curves from 1993 to 2008, focusing on the difficulties of correcting biases in expendable bathythermograph (XBT) data. XBT data constitute the majority of the in situ measurements of upper-ocean heat content from 1967 to 2002, and we find that the uncertainty due to choice of XBT bias correction dominates among-method variability in OHCA curves during our 1993-2008 study period. Accounting for multiple sources of uncertainty, a composite of several OHCA curves using different XBT bias corrections still yields a statistically significant linear warming trend for 1993-2008 of 0.64 W m(-2) (calculated for the Earth's entire surface area), with a 90-per-cent confidence interval of 0.53-0.75 W m(-2).

With this aim in view, the evolution of hydration water dynamics of a prototypical hydrophobic amino acid with polar backbone, N-acetyl-leucine-methylamide (NALMA), and a hydrophilic amino acid, N-acetyl-glycine-methylamide (NAGMA), has been investigated as a function of temperature.
We show that the temperature dependence of the diffusive dynamics of water molecules is the same for both hydrophilic and hydrophobic peptides. A comparison between hydrated powders and high concentrated solutions reveals a similar behaviour, particularly for the hydrophobic peptide. On the other hand we find a distinct difference in the behaviour with temperature of the hydrogen bond lifetime in solutions and hydrated powders. Whereas at room temperature the hydrogen bond lifetime is longer in solution than in the hydrated powder, the reverse situation obtains at low temperatures. This result suggests a change in the plasticity of the hydrogen bond network depending on its extension. Differences in the densities of states lend support to this concept. (c) 2009 Elsevier B.V.

AB Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha are highly susceptible to Renibacterium salmoninarum, the causative agent of bacterial kidney disease (BKD). Previously we demonstrated that introduced Chinook salmon from Lake Michigan, Wisconsin (WI), USA, have higher survival following R. salmoninarum challenge relative to the progenitor stock from Green River, Washington, USA. In the present study, we investigated the pathological and immunological responses that are associated with differential survival in the 2 Chinook salmon stocks following intra-peritoneal R. salmoninarum challenge of 2 different cohort years (2003 and 2005). Histological evaluation revealed delayed appearance of severe granulomatous lesions in the kidney and lower overall prevalence of membranous glomerulopathy in the higher surviving WI stock. The higher survival WI stock had a lower bacterial load at 28 d post-infection, as measured by reverse-transcriptase quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). However, at all other time points, bacterial load levels were similar despite higher mortality in the more susceptible Green River stock, suggesting the possibility that the stocks may differ in their tolerance to infection by the bacterium. Interferon-gamma, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), Mx-1, and transferrin gene expression were up-regulated in both stocks following challenge. A trend of higher iNOS gene expression at later time points (>= 28 d post-infection) was observed in the lower surviving Green River stock, suggesting the possibility that higher iNOS expression may contribute to greater pathology in that stock.

AB This study compares the global distribution of 20th century SST and marine air temperature trends from a wide variety of data sets including un-interpolated archives as well as globally-complete reconstructions. Apart from the eastern equatorial Pacific, all datasets show consistency in their statistically significant trends, with warming everywhere except the far northwestern Atlantic; the largest warming trends are found in the middle latitudes of both hemispheres. Two of the SST reconstructions exhibit statistically significant cooling trends over the eastern equatorial Pacific, in disagreement with the un-interpolated SST and marine air temperature datasets which show statistically significant warming in this region. Twentieth century trends in tropical marine cloudiness, precipitation and SLP from independent data sets provide physically consistent evidence for a reduction in the strength of the atmospheric Walker Circulation accompanied by an eastward shift of deep convection from the western to the central equatorial Pacific.

AB Our first-principles calculations show that both the compressional and shear waves of epsilon-Fe become elastically isotropic under the Earth's inner core conditions, with the variation in sound velocities along different angles from the c axis within 1%. We computed the thermoelasticity at high pressures and temperatures from quasiharmonic linear response linear-muffin-tin-orbital calculations in the generalized-gradient approximation. The calculated anisotropic shape and magnitude at ambient temperature agree well with previous first-principles predictions, and the anisotropic effects show strong temperature dependences. This implies that other mechanisms, rather than the preferential alignment of the epsilon-Fe crystal along the Earth's rotation axis, account for the seismic P-wave travel time anomalies. Either the inner core is not epsilon-Fe, and/or the seismologically observed anisotropy is caused by inhomogeneity, i.e., multiple phases. Citation: Sha, X., and R. E.

TI Imaging a single atom in a time-of-flight experiment
SO NEW JOURNAL OF PHYSICS
LA English
DT Article
AB We perform fluorescence imaging of a single (87)Rb atom after its release from an optical dipole trap. The time-of-flight expansion of the atomic spatial density distribution is observed by accumulating many single atom images. The position of the atom is revealed with a spatial resolution close to 1 mu m by a single-photon event, induced by a short resonant probe. The expansion yields a measure of the temperature of a single atom, which is in very good agreement with the value obtained by an independent measurement based on a release-and-recapture method. The analysis presented in this paper provides a way of calibrating an imaging system useful for experimental studies involving a few atoms confined in a dipole trap.

AB Background: The northern fur seal (Callorhinus ursinus; NFS) is a widely distributed pinniped that has been shown to exhibit a high degree of philopatry to islands, breeding areas on an island, and even to specific segments of breeding areas. This level of philopatry could conceivably lead to highly genetically divergent populations. However, northern fur seals have the potential for dispersal across large distances and have experienced repeated rapid population expansions following glacial retreat and the more recent cessation of intensive harvest pressure.
Methodology/Principal Findings: Using microsatellite and mitochondrial loci, we examined population structure in NFS throughout their range. We found only weak population genetic structure among breeding islands including significant F(ST) and Phi(ST) values between eastern and western Pacific islands.
Conclusions: We conclude that insufficient time since rapid population expansion events (both post glacial and following the cessation of intense harvest pressure) mixed with low levels of contemporary migration have resulted in an absence of genetic structure across the entire northern fur seal range.

AB Background: Large-scale patterns or trends in species diversity have long interested ecologists. The classic pattern is for diversity (e. g., species richness) to decrease with increasing latitude. Taxonomic distinctness is a diversity measure based on the relatedness of the species within a sample. Here we examined patterns of taxonomic distinctness in relation to latitude (ca. 32-48 degrees N) and depth (ca. 50-1220 m) for demersal fishes on the continental shelf and slope of the US Pacific coast.
Methodology/Principal Findings: Both average taxonomic distinctness (AvTD) and variation in taxonomic distinctness (VarTD) changed with latitude and depth. AvTD was highest at approximately 500 m and lowest at around 200 m bottom depth. Latitudinal trends in AvTD were somewhat weaker and were depth-specific. AvTD increased with latitude on the shelf (50-150 m) but tended to decrease with latitude at deeper depths. Variation in taxonomic distinctness (VarTD) was highest around 300 m. As with AvTD, latitudinal trends in VarTD were depth-specific. On the shelf (50-150 m), VarTD increased with latitude, while in deeper areas the patterns were more complex. Closer inspection of the data showed that the number and distribution of species within the class Chondrichthyes were the primary drivers of the overall patterns seen in AvTD and VarTD, while the relatedness and distribution of species in the order Scorpaeniformes appeared to cause the relatively low observed values of AvTD at around 200 m.
Conclusions/Significance: These trends contrast to some extent the patterns seen in earlier studies for species richness and evenness in demersal fishes along this coast and add to our understanding of diversity of the demersal fishes of the California Current.

TI Intermodel variability of the poleward shift of the austral jet stream
in the CMIP3 integrations linked to biases in 20th century climatology
SO GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS
LA English
DT Article
ID FLUCTUATION-DISSIPATION THEOREM; TIME-SCALE; CIRCULATION
AB Future climate predictions by global circulation models in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 3 (CMIP3) archive indicate that the recent poleward shift of the eddy-driven jet streams will continue throughout the 21st century. Here it is shown that differences in the projected magnitude of the trend in the Southern Hemisphere are well correlated with biases in the latitude of the jet in the simulation of 20th century climate. Furthermore, the latitude of the jet in the models' 20th century climatology is correlated with biases in the internal variability of the jet stream, as quantified by the time scale of the annular mode. Thus an equatorward bias in the position of the jet is associated with both enhanced persistence of the annular mode, and an increased poleward shift of the jet. These relationships appear to be robust throughout the year except in the austral summer, when differences in forcing, particularly stratospheric ozone, make it impossible to compare the response of one model with another. These results suggest that the fidelity of a model's simulation of the 20th century climate may be related to its fitness for climate prediction. The cause of this relationship is discussed, as well as the implications for climate change projections. Citation: Kidston, J., and E. P.

AB We use "edge mode" ferromagnetic resonance to probe the magnetic properties of oxidized Ni80Fe20 (Py) nanostripe edges. The oxidation is carried out using either oxygen plasma or thermal annealing in an oxygen ambient. We find that for both treatments the edge saturation field decreases systematically with increasing oxidation due to reduced magnetization near the edges. However, the change of effective out-of-plane anisotropy field shows opposite trends for these two oxidation methods. Micromagnetic simulations suggest that thermally annealed samples may have an additional reduction in the bulk magnetization, possibly due to a compositional change in Py stripes. The two distinct oxidation profiles also result in different changes in resonance linewidth; we find little damping change for plasma treatment but an enhanced effective damping for thermal annealing.

AB Maintaining optimal visual performance is a difficult task in photodynamic coastal and estuarine waters because of the unavoidable tradeoffs between luminous sensitivity and spatial and temporal resolution, yet the visual systems of coastal piscivores remain understudied despite differences in their ecomorphology and microhabitat use. We therefore used electroretinographic techniques to describe the light sensitivities, temporal properties and spectral sensitivities of the visual systems of four piscivorous fishes common to coastal and estuarine waters of the western North Atlantic: striped bass (Morone saxatilis), bluefish (Pomatomus saltatrix), summer flounder (Paralichthys dentatus) and cobia (Rachycentron canadum). Benthic summer flounder exhibited higher luminous sensitivity and broader dynamic range than the three pelagic foragers. The former were at the more sensitive end of an emerging continuum for coastal fishes. By contrast, pelagic species were comparatively less sensitive, but showed larger day-night differences, consistent with their use of diel light-variant photic habitats. Flicker fusion frequency experiments revealed significant interspecific differences at maximum intensities that correlated with lifestyle and habitat. Spectral responses of most species spanned 400-610nm, with significant day-night differences in striped bass and bluefish. Anadromous striped bass additionally responded to longer wavelengths, similar to many freshwater fishes. Collectively, these results suggest that pelagic piscivores are well adapted to bright photoclimates, which may be at odds with the modern state of eutrified coastal and estuarine waters that they utilize. Recent anthropogenic degradation of water quality in coastal environments, at a pace faster than the evolution of visual systems, may impede visually foraging piscivores, change selected prey, and eventually restructure ecosystems.

AB Differential habitat use and foraging behaviors at various life-stages within a population can have profound consequences for survivorship, stage duration, and time to maturity. While evidence for plasticity within a given life-stage in marine species is mounting, factors that contribute to this diversity remain poorly understood. We used stable isotope analysis of consumer and prey tissues to describe the trophic niche width of juvenile loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) that have been tracked and previously shown to have significant variation in movement behaviors (oceanic versus neritic). Results of a Bayesian mixing model indicated that whereas benthic invertebrates dominated the recent diet of neritic turtles (determined through blood plasma), pelagic prey items contributed substantially to the diets of oceanic turtles. Analysis of temporally protracted diet composition (determined through red blood cells) reflected contributions from pelagic prey for all turtle groups, indicating that all turtles fed in the pelagic zone during overwintering periods. These results imply that the previous satellite tracking results reflect the turtles' prior foraging habits. Our study highlights the need for an integrative management approach of North Atlantic juvenile loggerheads and validates the use of stable isotopes for determining their differential habitat use.

AB Electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves may contribute to ring current ion and radiation belt electron losses, and theoretical studies suggest these processes may be most effective during the main phase of geomagnetic storms. However, ground-based signatures of EMIC waves, Pc1-Pc2 geomagnetic pulsations, are observed more frequently during the recovery phase. We investigate the association of EMIC waves with various storm phases in case and statistical studies of 22 geomagnetic storms over 1996-2003, with an associated Dst < -30 nT. High-resolution data from the GOES 8, 9, and 10 geosynchronous satellite magnetometers provide information on EMIC wave activity in the 0-1 Hz band over +/-3 days with respect to storm onset, defined as commencement of the negative excursion of Dst. Thirteen of 22 storms showed EMIC waves occurring during the main phase. In case studies of two storms, waves were seen with higher intensity in the main phase in one and the recovery phase in the other. Power spectral densities up to 500 nT(2) Hz(-1) were similar in prestorm, storm, and early recovery phases. Superposed epoch analysis of the 22 storms shows 78% of wave events during the main phase occurred in the He+ band. After storm onset the main phase contributed only 29% of events overall compared to 71% during recovery phase, up to 3 days. Some differences between storms were found to be dependent on the solar wind driver. Plasma plumes or an inflated plasmasphere may contribute to enhancing EMIC wave activity at geosynchronous orbit.

AB We present a detailed investigation of the phonons and longitudinal-optical-phonon-plasmon coupled modes in the Ga1-xInxAsySb1-y alloy by means of Raman scattering. A generalization of the dielectric Raman line-shape model to quaternary alloys is described and used to analyze the Raman spectra of a set of n-type Ga1-xInxAsySb1-y layers with x = 0.15, y = 0.13, and electron densities ranging from 2.8 x 10(17) to 3.7 x 10(18) cm(-3). Landau-damping effects are found to be essential to correctly describe the coupled modes that occur in the phonon-frequency range. Differences in the electron-density dependence of these modes between 80 K and room temperature are observed and attributed to different Landau-damping regimes. The plasmonlike L+ mode is observed to shift to lower frequencies when the temperature is increased from 80 K to room temperature. This frequency shift is explained in terms of thermal population of the L valleys.

AB This work presents a flow analysis method for direct quantitation of calcium carbonate in cement without pretreatment of the sample. The method is based on online vaporization of CO(2) gas following acidification of the sample inside a small chamber that has a flow of acceptor solution passing around it. Solubilization of the CO(2) gas into the acceptor stream changes the conductivity of the acceptor solution causing an increase of signal at the capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection (C(4)D) placed at the outlet of the vaporization chamber. This chamber is an adaption from previous work reported on 'membraneless vaporization' (MBL-VP).
The method can be used in the quality control of production of mixed cement. These cement materials usually have calcium carbonate contents at high concentration range (e.g., 33-99% (w/w)CaCO(3)). Analysis of samples by this method is direct and convenient as it requires no sample pretreatment. The method is low-cost with satisfactory accuracy and acceptable precision. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V.

AB Historical sea level records reveal that a strengthening of the Pacific subtropical cells (STCs) since the early-1990's has reversed a multi-decadal weakening tendency. Stronger STCs correspond to a stronger Leeuwin Current in the southeast Indian Ocean (SEIO) and a stronger Indonesian Throughflow, due to dynamic connections of the Pacific and SEIO through equatorial and coastal waveguides. Multi-decadal trends of the STCs and their influence on the SEIO have confounded the detection of human induced global change signals in the short instrumental records of the two circulation systems.

AB An integrated modeling approach was used to connect socioeconomic factors and nutrient management to river export of nitrogen, phosphorus, silica and carbon based on an updated Global NEWS model. Past trends (1970-2000) and four future scenarios were analyzed. Differences among the scenarios for nutrient management in agriculture were a key factor affecting the magnitude and direction of change of future DIN river export. In contrast, connectivity and level of sewage treatment and P detergent use were more important for differences in DIP river export. Global particulate nutrient export was calculated to decrease for all scenarios, in part due to increases in dams for hydropower. Small changes in dissolved silica and dissolved organics were calculated for all scenarios at the global scale. Population changes were an important underlying factor for river export of all nutrients in all scenarios. Substantial regional differences were calculated for all nutrient elements and forms. South Asia alone accounted for over half of the global increase in DIN and DIP river export between 1970 and 2000 and in the subsequent 30 years under the Global Orchestration scenario (globally connected with reactive approach to environmental problems); DIN river export decreased in the Adapting Mosaic (globally connected with proactive approach) scenario by 2030, although DIP continued to increase. Risks for coastal eutrophication will likely continue to increase in many world regions for the foreseeable future due to both increases in magnitude and changes in nutrient ratios in river export.

AB The study objective is to explore the relationship between the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) and intraseasonal sea surface temperature (SST) variability in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean. Previous studies have illustrated the connection between MJO and the production of zonally large (> 2000 km), persistent (similar to weeks) SST anomalies. Those studies suggested that vertical processes, such as advection and entrainment, forced remotely by winds in the western Pacific (via Kelvin waves) may be the mechanism controlling SST changes. To overcome limitations in situ observations (e. g., sparse and missing data/quantities) and to develop a more comprehensive physical understanding, this study examines the relationship using an ocean general circulation model. A simulation was conducted in which the model was forced by idealized MJO conditions constructed from observed forcing fields. Analysis of the model simulation shows an equatorial Kelvin wave initiated in the western Pacific Ocean. However, analysis of the model's mixed layer temperature heat budget shows that in the eastern Pacific meridional advection plays the major role in the sea surface temperature change, 61.8% of the warming phase and 70.7% of the cooling phase percent heat budget. Zonal advection is the second most important term to the warming phase (20.5%) with the vertical advection and mixing term being second for the cooling phase (37.6%). In addition, the results indicate that the primary component of the meridional advection is the advection of the mean meridional temperature gradient by MJO-forced meridional current anomalies. The implications and caveats of these results are discussed in relationship to results in prior studies.

AB The reaction of hydrogen atoms with propyne (CH CCH(3)) was investigated in a heated single pulse-shock tube at temperatures of 874-1196 K and pressures of 1.6-7.6 bar. Stable products from various reaction channels (terminal and nonterminal H addition, and by inference H abstraction) were identified and quantified by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. The rate constant for the channel involving the displacement of methyl radical from propyne (nonterminal H addition) was determined relative to the methyl displacement from 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene (135-TMB), with k (H + 135-TMB -> m-xylene + CH(3)) = 6.70 x 10(13) exp(-3255/T[K]) cm(3)/mol.s,
k (H + propyne -> CH CH + CH(3)) = 6.26 x 10(13) exp(-2267/T[K]) cm(3)/mole.s,
Our results show that the acetylene to allelic yield is approximately 2 at 900 K, and decreases with increasing temperature. The rate expression is:
k(H + propyne -> CH(2)=C=CH(2) + H) = 2.07 x 10(14) exp(-3759/T[K]) cm(3)/mole.s
This is a lower limit for terminal addition. Kinetic information for abstraction of the propargylic hydrogen by H was determined via mass balance. The rate expression is approximately
k(H + CH(3)C CH -> CH C-CH(2) + H(2)) = 1.20 x 10(14) exp(-4940/T[K])cm(3)/mole.s
and is only 10% of the rate constant for acetylene formation. All channels from H atom attack on propyne at combustion temperatures have now been determined. Comparisons are made with results of recent ab initio calculations and conclusions are drawn on the quantitative accuracy of such estimates.

TI Airborne synthetic aperture radar observations of "spiral eddy" slick

ID OCEAN SURFACE; EDDIES; FRONTS; IMAGES; SEA; BAY
AB Repeat sampling on hourly time scales using an airborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is used to investigate the occurrence and evolving characteristics of spiral-shaped slick patterns, commonly presumed to be indicators of submesoscale ocean eddies, in the area around Santa Catalina Island, California (similar to 33.4 degrees N, 118.4 degrees W). Simultaneous SAR imagery and boat survey data are examined over two similar to 5 h long periods spaced 3 days apart in April 2003. The SAR imagery reveals several spiral-like patterns, roughly 5 km in diameter, occurring downstream of the western end of Catalina. We believe that the most likely formation mechanism for these patterns is current-wake instability related to the flow of the Southern California Countercurrent along the north shore of Catalina. In one case, there is an observed cold-core eddy and vortex sheet attached to the tip of the island, similar to island-wake simulations done by Dong and McWilliams (2007). In another case, the SAR imagery shows a series of slick patterns that, at least initially, resemble spiral eddies, but the data show no clear evidence of actual ocean eddies being present either at depth or through a rotating surface expression. A speculation is that such features signify island-wake eddies that are relatively weak and dissipate quickly. An unexpected finding was how quickly a spiral slick pattern could deteriorate, suggesting a time scale for the surface feature of the order of only several hours. An implication of this result is that care is needed when interpreting a single satellite SAR imagery for evidence of active submesoscale eddies. Recommendations are made for future field studies.

AB Turbostratically disordered tungsten diselenide (WSe2) thin films with as few as two c-axis-oriented (basal plane) structural units were synthesized from modulated elemental reactants. By varying the number of elemental W-Se bilayers deposited, the thickness could be controllably varied from two to eighty such structural units. The sample roughness decreases with increasing annealing time and temperature as the crystalline WSe2 basal plane units self-assemble from the amorphous precursors. Low-angle X-ray diffraction data show that the thickness of the WSe2 films is highly uniform after annealing, with estimated roughness of less than 0.2 nm, and highly oriented, with the c axis of the structural units oriented within 0.1 degrees of the substrate normal as determined from rocking curves of the specular 00L-type diffraction peaks. Pole figures of hk0-type reflections indicate that c-axis-oriented basal plane structural units are randomly oriented within the a-b plane. The widths of diffraction peaks of type hk0, 00L, and hkl (h, k not equal 0; l not equal 0) indicate coherence lengths of about 6-7 nm in the ab plane, the full thickness of the film along the e axis, and 1-2 nm in mixed-index directions. Scanning transmission electron microscopy imaging corroborated the X-ray scattering results, providing direct evidence of strong c-axis texture, rotational disorder between adjacent basal plane structural units, and an intraplanar grain size of several nanometers. The combination of intraplanar crystallinity and interplanar rotational disorder explains the significant anisotropy of the thermal conductivity, which is 20-30 times higher in the a-b plane than along the e axis. Electrical measurements within the a-b plane indicate that the films exhibit n-type semiconducting behavior.

AB We demonstrate that H-1 spin diffusion NMR is a valuable method to estimate the domain size distribution in bulk heterojunction (BHJ) active layers composed of poly-3-hexylthiophene (P3HT) and phenyl-C-61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM). Bulk samples were annealed at several temperatures, and a distribution of domain sizes was observed that ranged over hundreds of nanometers. Unannealed samples exhibited a large amount of PCBM in small domains (1 to 5 nm) and smaller amounts in moderate (tens of nm) and large (> 100 nm) domains. Annealing the samples at 100 degrees C had no effect on the morphology as evidenced from H-1 spin diffusion NMR, grazing-incidence diffraction, and calorimetry, but phase separation was observed after annealing at 150 degrees C. Even with this higher temperature processing, the H-1 NMR showed conclusively that phase separation remained incomplete; this finding was confirmed with photoluminescence quenching measurements.

AB A soft-contact film transfer method was developed to prepare multilayer photoresist thin films that enable high-resolution spectroscopic and reflectivity measurements for determining the reaction-diffusion kinetic parameters and photoacid diffusion length. Infrared reflectance absorption spectroscopy was applied to follow, quantitatively, the reaction-diffusion kinetics during the post-exposure bake (PEB) step; the time evolution of the average deprotection level across a bilayer film with model photoresists is described by a kinetics model with three parameters: a reaction rate constant (k(p)), the phenomenological photoacid trapping constant (k(T)), and the photoacid diffusion constant (D(H)). A polymeric and molecular resist for next-generation extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography with chemically analogous structure was studied with this methodology. The three kinetic parameters follow an Arrhenius dependence but show quantitative differences between these two photoresists at a given PEB temperature. Further it was demonstrated that the photoacid diffusion length is not a simple function of diffusion coefficient; instead, it is dictated by all three kinetics parameters jointly in addition to the deprotection level at which the resist becomes soluble in an aqueous developer solution. These observations qualitatively explain the experimentally observed shorter photoacid diffusion length of the molecular resist in comparison to its polymeric counterpart.

AB This paper reports comprehensive structural and chemical analyses for the combinatorial Ta-C-N/HfO(2) system, crucial data for understanding the electrical properties of Ta-C-N/HfO(2). Combinatorial Ta-C-N "library" (composition spread) films were deposited by magnetron sputtering. Electron probe wavelength dispersive spectroscopy and x-ray fluorescence-yield near-edge spectroscopy were used to quantitatively determine the composition across these films. Scanning x-ray microdiffractometry determined that a solid solution of Ta(C,N)(x) forms and extends to compositions (0.3 <= Ta <= 0.5 and 0.57 <= Ta <= 0.67) that were previously unknown. The thermal stability of the Ta-C-N/HfO(2) library was studied using high resolution transmission electron microscopy, which shows Ta-C-N/HfO(2)/SiO(2)/Si exhibiting good thermal stability up to 950 degrees C.

AB This study proposes a Bayesian approach to retrieve raindrop size distributions (DSDs) and to estimate rainfall rates from radar reflectivity in horizontal polarization Z(H) and differential reflectivity Z(DR). With this approach, the authors apply a constrained-gamma model with an updated constraining relation to retrieve DSD parameters. Long-term DSD measurements made in central Oklahoma by the two-dimensional video disdrometer (2DVD) are first used to construct a prior probability density function (PDF) of DSD parameters, which are estimated using truncated gamma fits to the second, fourth, and sixth moments of the distributions. The forward models of Z(H) and Z(DR) are then developed based on a T-matrix calculation of raindrop backscattering amplitude with the assumption of drop shape. The conditional PDF of Z(H) and Z(DR) is assumed to be a bivariate normal function with appropriate standard deviations. The Bayesian algorithm has a good performance according to the evaluation with simulated Z(H) and Z(DR). The algorithm is also tested on S-band radar data for a mesoscale convective system that passed over central Oklahoma on 13 May 2005. Retrievals of rainfall rates and 1-h rain accumulations are compared with in situ measurements from one 2DVD and six Oklahoma Mesonet rain gauges, located at distances of 28-54 km from Norman, Oklahoma. Results show that the rain estimates from the retrieval agree well with the in situ measurements, demonstrating the validity of the Bayesian retrieval algorithm.

TI Improved Global Rainfall Retrieval Using the Special Sensor Microwave
Imager (SSM/I)
SO JOURNAL OF APPLIED METEOROLOGY AND CLIMATOLOGY
LA English
DT Article
AB Global monthly rainfall estimates have been produced from more than 20 years of measurements from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program series of Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I). This is the longest passive microwave dataset available to analyze the seasonal, annual, and interannual rainfall variability on a global scale. The primary algorithm used in this study is an 85-GHz scattering-based algorithm over land, while a combined 85-GHz scattering and 19/37-GHz emission is used over ocean. The land portion of this algorithm is one of the components of the blended Global Precipitation Climatology Project rainfall climatology. Because previous SSM/I processing was performed in real time, only a basic quality control (QC) procedure had been employed to avoid unrealistic values in the input data. A more sophisticated, statistical-based QC procedure on the daily data grids (antenna temperature) was developed to remove unrealistic values not detected in the original database and was employed to reprocess the rainfall product using the current version of the algorithm for the period 1992-2007. Discrepancies associated with the SSM/I-derived monthly rainfall products are characterized through comparisons with various gauge-based and other satellite-derived rainfall estimates. A substantial reduction in biases was observed as a result of this QC scheme. This will yield vastly improved global rainfall datasets.

AB We present a high bandwidth piezoelectric-actuated mirror for length stabilization of an optical cavity. The actuator displays a transfer function with a flat amplitude response and greater than 135 degrees phase margin up to 200 kHz, allowing a 180 kHz unity gain frequency to be achieved in a closed servo loop. To the best of our knowledge, this actuator has achieved the largest servo bandwidth for a piezoelectric transducer (PZT). The actuator should be very useful in a wide variety of applications requiring precision control of optical lengths, including laser frequency stabilization, optical interferometers, and optical communications.

ID SUPERPOSITION STATES; VORTICES; LATTICES
AB We review some recent developments in the theory of rotating atomic gases. These studies have thrown light on the process of nucleation of vortices in regimes where mean-field methods are inadequate. In our review, we shall describe and compare quantum vortex nucleation of a dilute ultracold bosonic gas trapped in three different configurations: a one-dimensional ring lattice, a one-dimensional ring superlattice and a two-dimensional asymmetric harmonic trap. In all of them, there is a critical rotation frequency, at which the particles in the ground state exhibit strong quantum correlations. However, the entanglement properties vary significantly from case to case. We explain these differences by characterizing the intermediate states that participate in the vortex nucleation process. Finally, we show that noise correlations are sensitive to these differences. These new studies have, therefore, shown how novel quantum states may be produced and probed in future experiments with rotating neutral atom systems.

ID HARD-SPHERE MODEL; INTEGRAL-EQUATION; LIGHT-SCATTERING; MIXTURES;

AB The application of the spin-echo small angle neutron scattering (SESANS) technique for structural characterization of interacting colloidal suspensions is considered in this work. The framework to calculate the theoretical SESANS correlation function is briefly laid out. A general discussion regarding the features of the SESANS correlation functions obtained from different model systems is presented. In comparison with conventional elastic scattering tools operating at the same length scale, our mean-field calculations, based on a monodisperse spherical colloidal system, show that the real-space measurement provided by SESANS presents a powerful probe for studying the intercolloid potential. The reason of this sensitivity is discussed from the standpoint of way, in which how the spatial correlations are manifested in different neutron scattering implementations. This study leads to a better understanding regarding the distinction between SANS and SESANS. (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics. [doi: 10.1063/1.3422527]

AB Two warm-season mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) were analyzed with respect to their production of transient luminous events (TLEs), mainly sprites. The 20 June 2007 symmetric MCS produced 282 observed TLEs over a 4 h period, during which the storm's intense convection weakened and its stratiform region strengthened. TLE production corresponded well to convective intensity. The convective elements of the MCS contained normal-polarity tripole charge structures with upper-level positive charge (<-40 degrees C), midlevel negative charge (-20 degrees C), and low-level positive charge near the melting level. In contrast to previous sprite studies, the stratiform charge layer involved in TLE production by parent positive cloud-to-ground (+CG) lightning resided at upper levels. This layer was physically connected to upper-level convective positive charge via a downward sloping pathway. The average altitude discharged by TLE-parent flashes during TLE activity was 8.2 km above mean sea level (MSL; -25 degrees C). The 9 May 2007 asymmetric MCS produced 25 observed TLEs over a 2 h period, during which the storm's convection rapidly weakened before recovering later. Unlike 20 June, TLE production was approximately anticorrelated with convective intensity. The 9 May storm, which also had a normal tripole in its convection, best fit the conventional model of low-altitude positive charge playing the dominant role in sprite production; however, the average altitude discharged during the TLE phase of flashes still was higher than the melting level: 6.1 km MSL (-15 degrees C). Based on these results, it is inferred that sprite production and sprite-parent positive charge altitude depend on MCS morphology.

TI Use of A-Train data to estimate convective buoyancy and entrainment rate
SO GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS
LA English
DT Article
ID ENSEMBLE; CLOUDSAT
AB This study describes a satellite-based method to estimate simultaneously convective buoyancy (B) and entrainment rate (lambda). The measurement requirements are cloud-top height (CTH), cloud-top temperature (CTT), cloud profiling information (from radar and lidar), and ambient sounding. Initial results of the new method applied to A-Train data are presented. It is observed that tropical oceanic convection above the boundary layer fall into two groups: deep convection (DC) and cumulus congestus (Cg). DC tend to have negative buoyancy near cloud top and lambda < 10%/km. Cg are further divided into two groups due to the snapshot view of the A-Train: one has positive buoyancy and lambda <= 10%/km and the other has negative buoyancy and lambda reaching up to 50%/km. Uncertainty analysis is conducted showing that CTT and CTH are the primary source of errors, but they do not affect our conclusions qualitatively. Brief comparisons with previous studies indicate the results of this study are broadly consistent with these earlier studies. Although most of the initial results are expected, this study represents the first time, to our knowledge, that satellite data are used to estimate convective buoyancy and entrainment rate. This new, space-borne method presents an opportunity for a number of follow-up investigations. For example, it serves as a bridge to connect A-Train observations (and follow-up missions) to GCM cumulus parameterizations. Citation: Luo, Z. J., G. Y. Liu, and G. L.

TI Constraining climate sensitivity with linear fits to outgoing radiation
SO GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS
LA English
DT Article
ID FEEDBACK; TIME; TEMPERATURE; ENERGY
AB Several papers have used correlations between outgoing radiation and surface temperature to estimate climate sensitivity via a linearized energy balance equation. A crucial assumption in such studies is the use of global averages to relate radiation and temperature data that are actually functions of space and time. Here it is shown that this assumption is important to understanding why transient and equilibrium climate feedbacks may differ. There are important limitations to derivations of climate sensitivity from correlations between radiation and temperature data. In particular, because of heat transport between regions, obtaining the equilibrium temperature change by multiplying the forcing by a climate sensitivity is valid only for a global domain. The analysis of Lindzen and Choi (2009) erroneously applies global concepts to a limited region. I also show that a simple, point-by-point regression of outgoing radiation against surface temperature gives better slope estimates than the interval method used by Lindzen and Choi (2009).

AB This study demonstrates the ability to use Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) hyperspectral radiance measurements and collocated Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System outgoing longwave fluxes to estimate top-of-atmosphere outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) from AIRS radiance measurements. The first 35 principal component scores of AIRS radiances from its 1707 pristine channels are used as predictors, and the regression coefficients are generated in eight regimes of AIRS view angle to account for angular dependence of the AIRS radiance observations. Tests on an independence test ensemble show that the accuracy of the AIRS OLR is near zero and the precision is less than 3 Wm(-2) for all scenes and 2 Wm(-2) for uniform scenes. The AIRS OLR precision for uniform scenes is much higher than the High-Resolution Infrared Sounder OLR of 5 Wm(-2) for similar comparisons with the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment OLR. The same technique of empirical regression OLR can be applied to other hyperspectral sounders such as the Cross-track Infrared Sounder that will be on board the National Polar-Orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System and the Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer on the European Meteorological Polar-orbiting satellites.

TI Relationships between Composition and Density of Tobermorite, Jennite,

AB Relationships between composition, mass density, and atomic packing density for CaO-SiO2-H2O (C-S-H), the main hydration product of cement, and its mineral analogues tobermorite and jennite, are examined. A graphical approach, similar to a phase diagram, is used to display the variation in density as a function of water content. In order to provide insight into atomic packing density differences between these phases, hypothetical phase transitions are performed by adding the stoichiometrically correct amount of CaO and H2O to convert one phase into another, and then the molar volumes before and after the transformation are compared. These calculations indicate that C-S-H formed from cement hydrated under normal conditions has a considerably higher atomic packing density than both tobermorite and jennite. This is attributed to both the atomic structure of C-S-H and to its nanoparticulate morphology. The solid density values for C-S-H are used to predict the amount of chemical shrinkage that should occur in a pure tricalcium silicate or dicalcium silicate paste, and these calculations are in good qualitative agreement with published experimental measurements for cement paste. New experimental measurements for the composition and mass density of C-S-H in cement paste cured at elevated temperatures, dried and resaturated, and hydrated with silica fume are presented and interpreted using the same approach. An important finding is that curing at 80 degrees C leads to a C-S-H phase with a lower atomic packing density, a finding in agreement with experimental observations of less chemical shrinkage at elevated temperatures.

AB Resonance Raman spectroscopy measurements of lysozyme-bound single-walled carbon nanotubes have been made during different stages of the chemically and thermally induced misfolding and of the denaturation process of nanotube-bound lysozymes. Changes to the Raman intensity of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have been observed during the denaturation of lysozyme. The Raman intensity changes are attributed to excitonic transition energy (E(ii)) shifts of the SWNTs during the denaturation of lysozyme. The E(ii) shift of SWNTs was confirmed by photoluminescence measurements.

AB The stress response during Pb underpotential deposition on (111)-textured Au has been examined on a cantilever beam electrode in perchloric acid supporting electrolyte. We observe a sweep rate dependence for both the individual voltammetric waves and the stress response that we attribute to kinetically controlled surface alloying [(root 3 x root 3) R30 degrees], which occurs only at low coverage. At high coverage, a hexagonal close-packed (hcp) Pb monolayer is formed while the surface alloy is removed. The stress hump that is coincident with the last voltammetric wave appears to be caused by the formation and removal of the surface alloy. Long-term potentiostatic pulsing experiments show slow stress changes during both the formation and the stripping steps, but only for the incomplete adlayer, confirming slow alloy and dealloy processes at those coverages. The voltammetry and surface stress after extended polarization at potentials where dealloying occurs show that the stable alloy structure and the hcp adlayer coexist and that the relative amounts of these phases are potential-dependent.

AB In order to mimic the biological effects of an oil spill in Arctic waters, we examined several types of biomarkers (genes, enzymes, metabolites, and DNA damage) in polar cod Boreogadus saida experimentally exposed to the water soluble fractions of crude oil. During 4 weeks of exposure, induction of the studied biomarkers exceeded baseline levels. The mRNA expression of the cytochrome P4501A1 (cyp1a1) gene was the most promising biomarker, with glutathione S-transferase (gst) as a suitable complement. The delayed ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD) and GST activities and their persistence following 2 weeks of depuration may allow detection of previous exposures in field samples. The composition of PAH metabolites in the bile indicated the bioavailability of different PAH size-classes. Although mRNA expressions of antioxidant defense genes were induced at start of the exposure, with the strongest responses from catalase and cytosolic superoxide dismutase, they were poor for oil monitoring purposes due to their very short response times. Significant DNA damage demonstrated genotoxicity even at low PAH concentrations (<15 mu g L-1) and was correlated with benzo(a)pyrene and pyrene metabolites in the bile. (C) 2009 Elsevier By.

AB This study presents detailed evaluation of the seasonal and episodic performance of the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) modeling system applied to simulate air quality at a fine grid spacing (4 km horizontal resolution) in central California, where ozone air pollution problems are severe. A rich aerometric database collected during the summer 2000 Central California Ozone Study (CCOS) is used to prepare model inputs and to evaluate meteorological simulations and chemical outputs. We examine both temporal and spatial behaviors of ozone predictions. We highlight synoptically driven high-ozone events (exemplified by the four intensive operating periods (IOPs)) for evaluating both meteorological inputs and chemical outputs (ozone and its precursors) and compare them to the summer average. For most of the summer days, cross-domain normalized gross errors are less than 25% for modeled hourly ozone, and normalized biases are between +/- 15% for both hourly and peak (1 h and 8 h) ozone. The domain-wide aggregated metrics indicate similar performance between the IOPs and the whole summer with respect to predicted ozone and its precursors. Episode-to-episode differences in ozone predictions are more pronounced at a subregional level. The model performs consistently better in the San Joaquin Valley than other air basins, and episodic ozone predictions there are similar to the summer average. Poorer model performance (normalized peak ozone biases <-15% or >15%) is found in the Sacramento Valley and the Bay Area and is most noticeable in episodes that are subject to the largest uncertainties in meteorological fields (wind directions in the Sacramento Valley and timing and strength of onshore flow in the Bay Area) within the boundary layer.

TI Wind and temperature effects on thermosphere mass density response to

ID GENERAL-CIRCULATION MODEL; MAGNETIC STORM; UPPER-ATMOSPHERE; IONOSPHERE;

AB A unique conjunction of the Thermosphere Ionosphere Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics (TIMED) and the Challenging Minisatellite Payload (CHAMP) satellites provided simultaneous columnar neutral composition, Sigma O/N-2, and thermosphere density observations, enabling a novel study of thermospheric response to the 7-9 November 2004 geomagnetic storm. Both Sigma O/N-2 and mass density showed profound response to this severe geomagnetic storm, but their latitudinal and temporal structures differed markedly. In particular, high-latitude depletion and low-latitude enhancement in Sigma O/N-2 were observed throughout the storm period, especially during the main phase. In contrast, neutral density at 400 km altitude increased from pole to pole shortly after the storm, with strongest enhancement of order 200%-400% during the main phase. Comparisons of observed thermosphere response with simulations from the National Center for Atmospheric Research Thermosphere-Ionosphere-Electrodynamics General Circulation Model (TIEGCM) were carried out to interpret the observed contrasting characteristics of thermosphere composition and mass density in response to this geomagnetic storm. The TIEGCM simulations show that the contrasting characteristics occur not only in Sigma O/N-2 and mass density at a constant altitude at 400 km, but also in O/N-2 and mass density on a constant-pressure surface. At an altitude of 400 km (CHAMP altitude), storm-time mass densities significantly increase due to an increase in scale height throughout the vertical column between the heat source and satellite altitude. For a given increase in scale height, the more scale height increments separating the heat source from the satellite altitude, the greater is the mass density response. It is shown that scale height change is caused partly by storm-time neutral temperature enhancements due to heating and partly by changes in mean molecular weight due to winds. These findings indicate that wind effects can cause significant deviations from a mass density pattern resulting solely from neutral temperature changes by altering the mean molecular weight, particularly at high latitudes.

AB Pluronics are triblock copolymers of poly(ethylene oxide) poly(propylene oxide) poly(ethylene oxide). Plutonic P85 forms a rich phase behavior when dissolved in water. Unimers are observed at low temperature while micelles form at higher temperatures. Spherical, cylindrical, and lamellar micelles are observed sequentially upon heating. The effect of hydrostatic pressure on the phase boundaries is investigated here using small-angle neutron scattering from a dilute P85 solution in deuterated water. The transition temperatures between these micelle phases are found to rise with increasing pressure. A new phase corresponding to demixed lamellae was observed at high temperature. The effect of pressure was seen to decrease the onset formation line of that new phase.

SRM 1945 has also been assigned mass fraction values for compounds not frequently determined in marine samples including toxaphene congeners, coplanar PCBs, and methoxylated PBDE congeners which are natural products. NIST also has assigned mass fraction values, as a result of interlaboratory comparison exercises, for PCB congeners, organochlorine pesticides, PBDE congeners, and fatty acids in six homogenate materials produced from marine mammal blubber or serum. The materials are available from NIST upon request; however, the supply is very limited for some of the materials. The materials include those obtained from pilot whale blubber (Homogenates III and IV), Blainville's beaked whale blubber (Homogenate VII), polar bear fat (Homogenate VI), and California sea lion serum (Marine Mammal Control Material-1 Serum) and blubber (Homogenate V).

AB Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) are certified reference materials produced by the National Institute of Standards and Technology that are homogeneous materials well characterized with values for specified properties, such as environmental contaminant concentrations. They can be used to validate measurement methods and are critical in improving data quality. Disagreements in perfluorinated alkyl acid (PFAA) concentrations measured in environmental matrices during past interlaboratory comparisons emphasized the need for SRMs with values assigned for PFAAs. We performed a new interlaboratory comparison among six laboratories and provided, for the first time, value assignment of PFAAs in SRMs. Concentrations for perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), perfluorooctanoate (PFOA), and other PFAAs in two human serum and two human milk SRMs are reported. PFAA using different analytical methods in six laboratories and for milk SRM 1954 in three laboratories. The interlaboratory relative standard deviation for PFOS in SRM 1957 was 7%, which is an improvement over past interlaboratory studies. Matrix interferences are discussed, as well as temporal trends and the percentage of branched vs. linear isomers. The concentrations in these SRMs are similar to the present-day average concentrations measured in human serum and milk, resulting in representative and useful control materials for PFAA human monitoring studies.

AB Toxaphene is a complex technical mixture that has been found ubiquitously in the environment but has caused issues for analysis, especially of individual congeners. This paper reports the elution order of 26 major toxaphene congeners on three gas chromatographic columns. The three different stationary phases generally had similar elution orders for the toxaphene congeners, but fewer co-elutions occurred on a low-bleed, low-polarity column. These congeners (except for two that co-eluted and were not added to the calibration mixture) were examined in air particulate matter standard reference materials (SRMs), 1648a, 1649a, and 1649b as well as SRM 3067 toxaphene in methanol for assignment of reference values. SRM 3067 had mass fractions an order of magnitude greater than the air particulate SRMs, which ranged from 0.568 +/- 0.018 ng g(-1) dry mass (B9-2006 in SRM 1648a) to 12.9 +/- 0.20 ng g(-1) dry mass (B9-715 (P 58) in SRM 1649a). The three air particulate SRMs all had different mass fractions and proportions of congeners relative to the sum of the toxaphene congeners. SRM 3067 may be useful as a technical mixture toxaphene congener calibrant. SRMs 1648a and 1649b will serve as reference materials for the analysis of 21 (three congeners were not included due to values below the detection limit or a potential polychlorinated biphenyl co-elution) toxaphene congeners in atmospheric particulate samples.

AB A new standard reference material (SRM) for drugs of abuse in human serum (SRM 1959) has been developed. This SRM is intended to be used as a control material for laboratories performing analysis of drugs of abuse in blood to evaluate the accuracy of their methods. SRM 1959 is a frozen human serum material fortified with seven compounds for which analyses are performed to determine evidence of illegal drug use: benzoylecgonine (BZE), methadone (METH), methamphetamine (MAMP), morphine (MOR), nordiazepam (NOR), phencyclidine (PCP), and 11-nor-Delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol-9-carboxylic acid (THC-9-COOH). Two independent methods involving isotope dilution (ID)-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and ID-liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) were used for the value assignment. For THC-9-COOH, an additional measurement using LC/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) was also included. All methods used isotopically labeled compounds as internal standards and solid-phase extractions to isolate the analytes from the serum. The GC/MS methods used different clean-up procedures from those used for the LC/ MS-based methods. Repeatability with within-set coefficients of variation (CVs) ranged from 0.5% to 4.3% for the GC/MS methods and from 0.2% to 1.2% for the LC/MS-based methods. Intermediate precision with between-set CVs for all the methods ranged from 0.1% to 1.1%. Agreement between the GC/MS and LC/MS methods ranged from 0.8% to 8.8%. The results from the methods were combined to obtain the certified concentrations and their expanded uncertainties.

AB An isotope-dilution liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (ID LC-MS/MS) measurement procedure was developed to accurately quantify amino acid concentrations in National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Standard Reference Material (SRM) 2389a-amino acids in 0.1 mol/L hydrochloric acid. Seventeen amino acids were quantified using selected reaction monitoring on a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. LC-MS/MS results were compared to gravimetric measurements from the preparation of SRM 2389a-a reference material developed at NIST and intended for use in intra-laboratory calibrations and quality control. Quantitative mass spectrometry results and gravimetric values were statistically combined into NIST-certified mass fraction values with associated uncertainty estimates. Coefficients of variation (CV) for the repeatability of the LC-MS/MS measurements among amino acids ranged from 0.33% to 2.7% with an average CV of 1.2%. Average relative expanded uncertainty of the certified values including Types A and B uncertainties was 3.5%. Mean accuracy of the LC-MS/MS measurements with gravimetric preparation values agreed to within vertical bar 1.1 vertical bar% for all amino acids. NIST SRM 2389a will be available for characterization of routine methods for amino acid analysis and serves as a standard for higher-order measurement traceability. This is the first time an ID LC-MS/MS methodology has been applied for quantifying amino acids in a NIST SRM material.

AB This work proposes a flow system suitable for the rapid screening of formaldehyde contaminated in food. The system is based on the concept of a flow analyzer with a Hantzsch reaction. An operating procedure was developed for multiple tasking and high sample throughput. This resulted in a significant sample throughput of 51 samples h(-1). Under the optimized conditions, linear calibration from 10 to 100 mu M was obtained. The system gave a limit of detection and a limit of quantitation of 0.06 and 0.10 mg kg(-1), respectively. The system was successfully applied to re-hydrated dry squids, vegetables and mushrooms.

AB A kinetic model to predict the relative intensities of the atomic C/H/N/O emission lines in laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) has been developed for organic compounds. The model includes a comprehensive set of chemical processes involving both neutral and ionic chemistry and physical excitation and de-excitation of atomic levels affecting the neutral, ionic, and excited-state species concentrations. The relative excited-state atom concentrations predicted by this modeling are compared with those derived from the observed LIBS intensities for 355 nm ns laser irradiation of residues of two organic compounds on aluminum substrate. The model reasonably predicts the relative excited-state concentrations, as well as their time profiles. Comparison of measured and computed concentrations has also allowed an estimation of the degree of air entrainment. (C) 2010 Optical Society of America

AB Opportunities for environmental contamination by the insecticide etofenprox are increasing as its uses expand from primarily indoor residential to rice cultivation and mosquito control. To provide toxicity data for sensitive saltwater species, effects of etofenprox were assessed using three life stages of the estuarine grass shrimp, Palaemonetes pugio. Adults, larvae, and embryos were tested in aqueous exposures, while adults and larval shrimp were also tested in the presence of sediment. In addition, sublethal cellular stress biomarkers, glutathione and lipid peroxidation, were examined. Larval shrimp was the most sensitive life stage, with 96-h median lethal concentration (LC50) of 0.89 mu g/l, compared with 1.26 mu g/l for adults and 100 mu g/l for embryos. Presence of sediment significantly decreased toxicity of etofenprox to both adult and larval shrimp. Etofenprox exposure (100 mu g/l) increased time to hatch in embryos. Lipid peroxidation levels were reduced in adult and larval shrimp after 96 h exposure to etofenprox, while no effect on glutathione was detected. The results of this study provide new information on the toxicity of etofenprox to estuarine invertebrates. These data may prove beneficial to the regulation of this pesticide and management of its uses in coastal areas.

AB The European green crab, Carcinus maenas, was first documented in San Francisco Bay in 1989, and has since spread north along the west coast of North America. The spread of this invasion has not been a smooth expansion, which has raised questions about the underlying causes of variation in recruitment. We modeled larval development and transport along the West Coast by employing an individual-based model that incorporated oceanographic model output of water temperature and ocean currents at fine spatial and temporal scales. The distance that larvae were advected depended primarily on the timing of larval release. However, the effect of seasonal ocean currents varied across latitude and years. Our results imply that the furthest northern transport from California occurs when larvae are released from Humboldt Bay during the fall of an El Nio year, making this a particularly risky time for invasion to Oregon and Washington estuaries. To precisely predict future spread and potential impacts of green crab, we recommend further empirical research to determine the precise timing of larval release and seasonal abundance of green crab larvae from North American west coast populations.

AB Methods utilizing stem cells hold tremendous promise for tissue engineering applications; however, many issues must be worked out before these therapies can be routinely applied. Utilization of external cues for preimplantation expansion and differentiation offers a potentially viable approach to the use of stem cells in tissue engineering. The studies reported here focus on the response of murine neural stem cells encapsulated in alginate hydro gel beads to alternating current electric fields. Cell viability and differentiation was studied as a function of electric field magnitude and frequency. We applied fields of frequency (0.1-10) Hz, and found a marked peak in neural stem cell viability under oscillatory electric fields with a frequency of 1 Hz. We also found an enhanced propensity for astrocyte differentiation over neuronal differentiation in the 1 Hz cultures, as compared to the other field frequencies we studied.

AB The steps on Verner Suomi's path to becoming a research scientist are examined. We argue that his research style-his natural interests in science and engineering, and his methodology in pursuing answers to scientific questions-was developed in his youth on the Iron Range of northeastern Minnesota, as an instructor in the cadet program at the University of Chicago (U of C) during World War II and as a fledgling academician at University of Wisconsin-Madison. We examine several of his early experiments that serve to identify his style. The principal results of this study are 1) despite austere living conditions on the Iron Range during the Great Depression, Suomi benefited from excellent industrial arts courses at Eveleth High School; 2) with his gift for designing instruments, his more practical approach to scientific investigation flourished in the company of world-class scientific thinkers at U of C; 3) his dissertation on the heat budget over a cornfield in the mid-1950s served as a springboard for studying the Earth atmosphere energy balances in the space-age environment of the late 1950s; and 4) his design of radiometers-the so-called ping-pong radiometer and its sequel, the hemispheric bolometer flew aboard Explorer VI and Explorer VII in the late 1950s, and analysis of the radiances from these instruments led to the first accurate estimate of the Earth's mean albedo

AB Winter skate (Leucoraja ocellata) of all length classes increased dramatically in abundance on Georges Bank in the 1980s following the decline of many groundfish species. We present a full population model of winter skate to better understand the population dynamics of the species and elucidate the mechanisms underlying their increase in abundance in the 1980s. Specifically, we developed four statistical catch-at-age models incorporating length-frequency data with the following model structures: (i) observation error only (base model R1); (ii) observation and recruitment process errors (model R2); (iii) adult migration modeled as a random walk in adult mortality (model R3); and (iv) observation and recruitment process errors and adult migration (model R4). Akaike's information criterion values indicated that models R3 and R4, which both included adult migration, were the most parsimonious models. This finding strongly suggests that the winter skate population increase on Georges Bank in the 1980s was not solely a result of increases in recruitment but likely involved adult migration (i. e., it is an open population). Finally, recent predicted fishing mortalities exceeded FMSY for all models.

AB We show how model averaging can be applied to estimate the probable status of a fishery resource under assessment scenario uncertainty. This approach is applied to North Pacific striped marlin (Tetrapturus audax), an apex predator that may be vulnerable to recruitment overfishing in pelagic longline fisheries targeting tunas. In the current striped marlin assessment, two assessment scenarios were used to account for different hypotheses about the steepness of the stock-recruitment dynamics. Estimates of spawning stock and recruitment from these scenarios are used post hoc to fit age-structured production models that represent alternative hypotheses about the degree of compensation in stock-recruitment dynamics and the degree of serial correlation of environmental forcing. Model-averaged estimates of target spawning biomass to produce maximum sustainable yield (SMSY) and the associated limit fishing mortality (FMSY) characterize relative stock status (S/SMSY and F/FMSY) under each scenario. Scenario-weighted averages of relative status determine probable stock status, with weightings reflecting the credibility of each scenario. Estimates of the variance of probable status account for both model selection and assessment scenario uncertainty in risk analyses. Using model averaging to estimate probable stock status from multiple assessment scenarios is analogous to using ensemble averages from multiple predictive models to make weather forecasts.

AB We evaluated hypotheses concerning the distributions of large mammals in a 60 000 km(2) study area that encompassed the contact zone between Ontario's roadless north and the postlogging southern landscape. We estimated occurrence probability in 575 sample units for woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou (Gmelin, 1788)), wolverine (Gulo gulo (L., 1758)), gray wolf (Canis lupus L., 1758), moose (Alces alces (L., 1758)), and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus (Zimmerman, 1780)). We used ordinations and spatial regressions to assess the contributions of parameters to species occurrence. Roads and cutovers were most abundant in the south, leading to an increased prevalence of deciduous forest. Mature coniferous forest, however, occurred most commonly in the north. Occurrence probabilities for moose and deer were greatest in the south, in close association with deciduous trees. Wolf occurrence was also greatest in the south, positively related to both deciduous forest and road density. Caribou occurrence, however, was positively related to mature coniferous forest and negatively related to both wolf occurrence and roads. Wolverine occurrence was negatively related to deciduous forest. Our surveys demonstrated distinct mammal communities in the northern and southern halves of our study area, a separation that appeared to be mediated by deciduous forest and roads.

AB Eight different portland cements were imaged on a synchrotron beam line at Brookhaven National Laboratory using X-ray microcomputed tomography at a voxel size of about 1 mu m per cubic voxel edge. The particles ranged in size roughly between 10 mu m and 100 mu m. The shape and size of individual particles were computationally analyzed using spherical harmonic analysis. The particle shape difference between cements was small but significant, as judged by several different quantitative shape measures, including the particle length, width, and thickness distributions. It was found that the average shape of cement particles was closely correlated with the volume fraction of C3S (alite) and C2S (belite) making up the cement powder. It is shown that the non-spherical particle shape of the cements strongly influence laser diffraction results, at least in the sieve size range of 20 mu m to 38 mu m. Since laser diffraction particle size measurement is being increasingly used by the cement industry, while cement chemistry is always a main factor in cement production, these results could have important implications for how this kind of particle size measurement should be understood and used in the cement industry.

AB The atmospheric conditions that lead to strong offshore surface winds in Southern California, commonly referred to as Santa Ana winds, are investigated using the North American Regional Reanalysis and a 12-year, 6-km resolution regional climate simulation of Southern California. We first construct an index to characterize Santa Ana events based on offshore wind strength. This index is then used to identify the average synoptic conditions associated with Santa Ana events-a high pressure anomaly over the Great Basin. This pressure anomaly causes offshore geostrophic winds roughly perpendicular to the region's mountain ranges, which in turn cause surface flow as the offshore momentum is transferred to the surface. We find, however, that there are large variations in the synoptic conditions during Santa Ana conditions, and that there are many days with strong offshore flow and weak synoptic forcing. This is due to local thermodynamic forcing that also causes strong offshore surface flow: a large temperature gradient between the cold desert surface and the warm ocean air at the same altitude creates an offshore pressure gradient at that altitude, in turn causing katabatic-like offshore flow in a thin layer near the surface. We quantify the contribution of "synoptic" and "local thermodynamic" mechanisms using a bivariate linear regression model, and find that, unless synoptic conditions force strongly onshore winds, the local thermodynamic forcing is the primary control on Santa Ana variability.

AB Contact-resonance force microscopy (CR-FM) has been used for the first time to evaluate the mechanical properties of the interphase in natural fiber-reinforced composites and of cell wall layers of natural fibers. With CR-FM, quantitative images of the spatial distribution in nanoscale elastic properties were acquired. The images were calibrated with nanoindentation values. From the modulus images, the average interphase width was found to be (49 +/- 5) nm for composite without any treatment, and (139 +/- 21) nm for one with a maleic anhydride polypropylene treatment. There was a gradient of modulus across the interphase that ranged between the values of fiber and the polymer. The average values of indentation modulus obtained for different cell wall layers within a fiber were 22.5-28.0 GPa, 17.9-20.2 GPa, and 15.0-15.5 GPa for the S(2) and S(1) layers and the compound middle lamellae, respectively.

AB Ice cores provide unique archives of past atmospheres and climate, but interpretation of trapped-gas records and their climatic significance has been hampered by a poor knowledge of the prevalence of air convection in the firn layer on top of polar ice sheets. In particular, the phasing of greenhouse gases and climate from ice cores has been obscured by a discrepancy between empirical and model-based estimates of the age difference between trapped gases and enclosing ice, which may be due to air convection. Here we show that deep air convection (>23 m) occurs at a windy, near-zero-accumulation rate site in central Antarctica known informally as the Megadunes site (80.77914 degrees S, 124.48796 degrees E). Deep convection is evident in depth profiles of air withdrawn from the firn layer, in the observed pattern of the nitrogen isotope ratio (15)N/(14)N, the argon isotope ratio (40)Ar/(36)Ar, and in the mixing ratios of the anthropogenic halocarbons methyl chloroform (CH(3)CCl(3)) and HFC-134a (CH(2)FCF(3)). Transport parameters (diffusivities) were inferred and air was dated using measured carbon dioxide (CO(2)) and methane (CH(4)) mixing ratios, by comparing with the Law Dome atmospheric record, which shows that these are the oldest firn air samples ever recovered (CO(2) mean age = 1863 AD). The low accumulation rate and the consequent intense metamorphism of the firn (due to prolonged exposure to seasonal temperature cycling) likely contribute to deep air convection via large grain size and vertical cracks that act as conduits for vigorous air motion. The Megadunes site provides a possible modern analog for the glacial conditions in the Vostok, Dome Fuji, and Dome C ice core records and a possible explanation for lower-than-expected (15)N/(14)N ratios in trapped air bubbles at these times. A general conclusion is that very low accumulation rate causes deep air convection via its effect on firn structural characteristics. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB Objective: To review issues surrounding management of diabetes mellitus during times of extreme high temperatures.
Methods: Materials used for this article were identified through a search of MEDLINE publications from 1966 to 2009. We chose English-language articles by using terms that cross-referenced diabetes mellitus, hot temperature, heat, desert, and insulin.
Results: Persons with diabetes may have greater susceptibility to adverse effects from heat (ie, increased number of emergency department visits and hospitalizations, increased occurrence of dehydration and electrolyte abnormalities, and higher death rate) than persons without diabetes. Alterations in glucose homeostasis may occur, and changes in insulin kinetics and stability are possible. The impact of heat exposure on equipment performance (eg, glucometers) must be considered.
Conclusions: Having diabetes places a person at risk for heat-related health problems. Physicians must be aware of possible complications that diabetic patients may encounter in summer heat to prevent problems. Patient educational materials should be developed relating to self-management skills in the heat, and the topic should be included in standard diabetes education programs when applicable.

AB In recent years, civilian and military users of aviation kerosene have been interested in expanding the scope of fuel feed stocks to include nonpetroleum sources. There are many reasons for this, the most important of which are the potential minimization of supply disruptions, the minimization of dependence on foreign sources of petroleum, the vulnerability of large centralized refineries, and the rising costs of current fuel streams. It is unlikely that a completely new, drop-in replacement fuel will be successful in the foreseeable future. In the meantime, however, the goal is to extend or enhance present petroleum-derived stocks. For this to be done on a rational basis, careful attention must be paid to fuel design parameters, one of the most important of which is the fluid volatility as expressed by the distillation curve. We have recently introduced several important improvements in the measurement of distillation curves of complex fluids. The modifications to the classical measurement provide for (1) a composition explicit data channel for each distillate fraction (for both qualitative and quantitative analysis); (2) temperature measurements that are true thermodynamic state points that can be modeled with an equation of state; (3) temperature, volume, and pressure measurements of low uncertainty suitable for equation of state development; (4) consistency with a century of historical data; (5) an assessment of the energy content of each distillate fraction; (6) trace chemical analysis of each distillate fraction; and (7) a corrosivity assessment of each distillate fraction. The composition explicit channel is achieved with a new sampling approach that allows precise qualitative as well as quantitative analyses of each fraction, on the fly. We have applied the new method to the measurement of rocket propellant, gasolines, jet fuels, and hydrocarbon crude oils. In this paper, we present the application of the technique to compare the characteristics of several new synthetic isoparaffinic kerosenes that are being used or tested as turbine fuels. These fuels include synthetics made from natural gas, coal, and waste greases.

AB The primary fuel used within the general aviation industry is a petroleum-based gasoline blended with small amounts of tetraethyl lead (a lead-based additive used to increase the octane number of gasoline without affecting its performance) called 100LL aviation gasoline. Lately, concern has mounted regarding the health effects of leaded aviation gasoline (typically called avgas). This concern, in addition to the increasing price of 100LL, has led to research involved with developing an unleaded avgas with the ability to meet performance regulations and safely operate the entire general aviation fleet without engine modifications. In this paper, we assess the vapor liquid equilibrium of two newly developed unleaded avgas fluids. For complex fluids, such as gasoline, the distillation curve provides the most practical approximation of this property. The distillation curves of these two fluids were measured by use of the advanced distillation curve method. The advanced distillation curve method uses temperature, volume, and pressure measurements of low uncertainty, providing true thermodynamic state points that can be modeled with an equation of state, greatly aiding in the design of new fuels. In addition, the advanced distillation curve method incorporates a composition-explicit data channel, allowing for precise qualitative identification as well as quantitative analyses of each distillate fraction. In this paper, we present the distillation curves and track the composite enthalpy of combustion of the two unleaded aviation gasolines throughout their distillation. The results from this study are compared to previous vapor liquid equilibrium and composite enthalpy of combustion measurements performed on 100LL aviation gasoline.

AB The growth and survival of larvae can be significantly enhanced through close association with patches of high prey concentration. However, the taxis and kinesis responses used by larvae to locate and maintain residence in micro-patches remains poorly understood. In this study, the behavioral responses of Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) and walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) larvae (45-100 dph) to light, prey scent, and prey were examined. Both species displayed an ontogenetic shift in response to a horizontal light gradient, with small larvae (11-13 mm SL) exhibiting a positive phototaxis and large larvae (23-32 mm SL) exhibiting a negative phototaxis. Whether this reversal is related to ontogenetically appropriate foraging cues or some other aspect of the environment remains to be determined. Neither species displayed significant behavioral responsiveness to the introduction of olfactory prey cues at either size. The aggregating (taxis) response of large larvae to introduction of live prey was stronger than that of small larvae, possibly due to increased reaction distances and encounter rates. In addition, both species exhibited a kinesis response of reducing the frequency of swimming bouts in response to introduction of live prey. These results suggest that the scale of prey patchiness and the physical factors that determine patch encounter rates are a significant determinant of larval growth and survival in the early feeding stages of marine fishes.

AB Stream pH and stream habitat have both been identified as important environmental features influencing total fish biomass in streams, but few studies have evaluated the relative influence of habitat and pH together. We measured total fish biomass, stream habitat, and stream pH in sixteen sites from three tributary systems in the northeastern United States. The habitat metrics included total pool area, a cover score, large wood frequency, and stream temperature. We created and compared nine linear models relating total fish biomass in summer to stream pH and stream habitat using Akaike's Information Criterion (AIC) analysis. The best (most parsimonious) models included pool area and stream pH. These results and a separate comparison of three regressions (low-flow pH, pool area, and these two metrics together versus total fish biomass) suggest that both habitat and stream buffering capacity affect the total biomass of fish in northeastern US headwater streams. When stream pH is adequate (low-flow pH greater than at least 5.7), physical habitat is likely to be more important, but under lower pH conditions, habitat is likely to be less effective in accounting for the total biomass of fish in these streams. This work demonstrates the continued effects of stream acidification in the northeastern US and more generally, it illustrates the importance of considering both physical and chemical conditions of a stream when evaluating the factors influencing fish communities.

AB We examined the distribution of nekton across the marsh landscape using a 1-m(2) drop sampler to compare nekton densities across three different salinity zones (intermediate, brackish, saline), three pond sizes (diameter <40 m=small, similar to 250-300 m=medium, >750 m=large), and two habitat types (pond, adjacent marsh) in the Barataria Bay Estuary, Louisiana. Nekton assemblages of ponds and the adjacent marsh appeared to be structured by the responses of individual species to the estuarine salinity gradient at the landscape scale and to pond habitat attributes locally. Our results indicate that ponds in the brackish and saline zones are more important nursery areas for most fishery species than ponds in the intermediate zone. Medium and large ponds supported higher densities of most species than small ponds. Most species of nekton were associated with vegetation structure, and individuals of these species were either concentrated among plant stems at the marsh edge or within submerged aquatic vegetation in ponds.

AB At midlatitudes within its range, overwintering mortality may play an important role in regulating blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) populations. We conducted a 121-day experiment to estimate winter mortality that used realistic temperature acclimation periods prior to and light levels during experiments. A 2x2x2 factorial experimental design was used to test for the effects of temperature (3 degrees C, 5 degrees C), salinity (10, 25), and sediment (sediment, no sediment) on the survival of juvenile crabs (14-68-mm carapace width) of both hatchery and wild origin. The presence of sediment did not significantly alter crab survival, while hatchery-raised crabs experienced significantly lower survivorship than wild-caught crabs. An accelerated failure time model fit to the survival data indicated that time to death increased significantly with increasing temperature, salinity, and crab size. These results suggest that winter survival varies with winter severity, is spatially dynamic, and that small juveniles are more at risk of dying over the winter than larger juveniles.

AB The blue crab, Callinectes sapidus, is an ecologically and economically valuable species in Chesapeake Bay. Field surveys and laboratory experiments indicate that blue crab mortality is significant during severe winters. We applied a temperature and salinity-dependent survival model to empirical temperature and salinity data to explore spatial and interannual patterns in overwintering mortality. Harmonic regression analysis and geostatistical techniques were used to create spatially explicit maps of estimated winter duration, average temperature, average salinity, and resulting crab survival probability for the winters of 1990-2004. Predicted survival was highest in the warmer, saline waters of the lower Bay and decreased with increasing latitude up bay. There was also significant interannual variation with survival being lowest after the severe winters of 1996 and 2003. We combine the survival probability maps with maps of blue crab abundance to show how winter mortality may reduce blue crab abundance prior to the start of the harvesting season.

AB Currently, many states use precipitation information to regulate periodic closures of shellfish harvest areas based on a presumptive relationship between rainfall and bacteria concentration. We evaluate this relationship in four South Carolina estuaries and suggest new predictive models that integrate remote sensing precipitation data with additional environmental and climatic data. Model comparisons using Akaike's information criterion, tenfold cross-validation, and model r(2) values show substantial and consistent improvements using integrated precipitation, salinity, and water temperature data as predictors. These models may be useful for shellfish area closure regulation support. The model development approaches used here may also be useful in estimating bacteria concentration at beaches and can serve as the basis for developing near-real-time estimates and forecast predictions of bacteria levels for closure decision-making tools.

AB We use a state dependent life history model to predict the life history strategies of female steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in altered environments. As a case study of a broadly applicable approach, we applied this model to the American and Mokelumne Rivers in central California, where steelhead are listed as threatened. Both rivers have been drastically altered, with highly regulated flows and translocations that may have diluted local adaptation. Nevertheless, evolutionary optimization models could successfully predict the life history displayed by fish on the American River (all anadromous, with young smolts) and on the Mokelumne River (a mix of anadromy and residency). The similar fitness of the two strategies for the Mokelumne suggested that a mixed strategy could be favored in a variable environment. We advance the management utility of this framework by explicitly modeling growth as a function of environmental conditions and using sensitivity analyses to predict likely evolutionary endpoints under changed environments. We conclude that the greatest management concern with respect to preserving anadromy is reduced survival of emigrating smolts, although large changes in freshwater survival or growth rates are potentially also important. We also demonstrate the importance of considering asymptotic size along with maximum growth rate.

AB Genetic methods are routinely used to estimate contemporary effective population size (N-e) in natural populations, but the vast majority of applications have used only the temporal (two-sample) method. We use simulated data to evaluate how highly polymorphic molecular markers affect precision and bias in the single-sample method based on linkage disequilibrium (LD). Results of this study are as follows: (1) Low-frequency alleles upwardly bias (N) over cap (e), but a simple rule can reduce bias to < about 10% without sacrificing much precision. (2) With datasets routinely available today (10-20 loci with 10 alleles; 50 individuals), precise estimates can be obtained for relatively small populations (N-e < 200), and small populations are not likely to be mistaken for large ones. However, it is very difficult to obtain reliable estimates for large populations. (3) With 'microsatellite' data, the LD method has greater precision than the temporal method, unless the latter is based on samples taken many generations apart. Our results indicate the LD method has widespread applicability to conservation (which typically focuses on small populations) and the study of evolutionary processes in local populations. Considerable opportunity exists to extract more information about N-e in nature by wider use of single-sample estimators and by combining estimates from different methods.

ID RIVER RESTORATION; PACIFIC-NORTHWEST; RESTORING RIVERS
AB evaluating the ecological effectiveness of the hundreds of millions of dollars invested to recover Pacific Northwest salmon has a number of prerequisites principally, detailed knowledge of management actions. In the absence of coordinated ecological monitoring, basic restoration project metadata (type, location, timing, etc.) is the primary source of information guiding restoration planning and management decisions. There are surprisingly few sources of habitat restoration information at scales appropriate to salmon recovery, ranging from small sub-watersheds to multistate evolutionarily significant units. We evaluate the consistency of two Columbia River basin restoration inventories developed in different ways but similar in goal: to inform future project placement. We compared the Pacific Northwest Habitat Project Database, compiled by researchers at NOAA Fisheries Service, and the Subbasin Inventories, compiled by local entities within each of 62 subbasins. Confederating these two data holdings, we found 11,805 projects in the Columbia River Basin, with only 13% (1,549/ 11,805) in common. Subbasin-scale inventories capture more locally sponsored projects than do large-scale data compilations. Attributes (date, cost) of projects in common to both datasets matched less than half the time, suggesting organizations working on the same project are reporting independently and differently to either the database or inventories. We found that the lack of common data standards and lack of knowledge about accessible data sources are major hurdles to making data available for decision making.

ID FISHERIES; MODELS
AB We evaluated the role of flatfishes in the organization and structure of the eastern Bering Sea ecosystem using the Ecopath/Ecosim approach. As basic input data for the Ecopath/Ecosim model, we used estimates of biomass from bottom trawl surveys and age-structured population models, production/biomass (P/B) ratio, consumption/biomass (Q/B) ratio, diet composition (DC), and fisheries harvests for each component of species or species groups. We estimated the trophic level of each component, niche overlaps among flatfishes, and the impacts of competition and predation on flatfish species in the eastern Bering Sea ecosystem. Based on those estimates, we developed the tropho-dynamic structure of the ecosystem, and the model was used to simulate ecological effects of fishery exploitation patterns. No single flatfish species appeared to have a profound and uniquely important role in the organization and structure of the ecosystem. Instead, the most important component among the guild of flatfish species appeared to be yellowfin sole Pleuronectes asper, which had greater biomass than other flatfish and a relatively diverse diet among the small flatfish species. Pacific halibut Hippoglossus stenolepis, Greenland turbot Reinhardtius hippoglossoides, and arrowtooth flounder Atheresthes stomias were important keystone predators in the eastern Bering Sea ecosystem together with some groups of marine mammals and sea birds. Intra flatfish complex cannibalism was not observed, however, substantial diet overlaps were common in the flatfish guild system.

AB Previous work shows that most birds breeding in northern temperate regions adjust production of testosterone in response to stage of the breeding cycle and in some cases following social interactions. In contrast, prior research suggests that tropical breeding birds are less likely to modulate testosterone in response to social interactions (the propensity to increase testosterone in response to social instability is known as the challenge hypothesis). To further test the challenge hypothesis in tropical birds, we investigated whether variation in season affects reproductive condition, aggressive behavior, and social modulation of testosterone in two populations of Costa Rican rufous-collared sparrow, Zonotrichia capensis costaricensis. We conducted our study at three distinct times of year: the dry season (March and May); the veranillo, a hiatus in the rainy season (July); and the late rainy season (November). Significantly more birds were in breeding condition in the dry season than in the rainy season or veranillo. In each time period, we collected baseline testosterone samples and conducted simulated territorial intrusions (STIs). Our study shows that testosterone is modulated with season independent of breeding condition, as testosterone levels were affected by season, breeding condition, and an interaction of the two factors. Males breeding in the dry season had higher plasma testosterone levels than non-breeding males in the dry season and both breeding and non-breeding males in the veranillo and rainy season. Males did not socially modulate testosterone in any season. Aggressive behaviors expressed during STIs did not differ among seasons with the exception that males sang fewer songs during the rainy season. (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

AB Aim
Coral reefs are widely considered to be particularly vulnerable to changes in ocean temperatures, yet we understand little about the broad-scale spatio-temporal patterns that may cause coral mortality from bleaching and disease. Our study aimed to characterize these ocean temperature patterns at biologically relevant scales.
Location
Global, with a focus on coral reefs.
Methods
We created a 4-km resolution, 21-year global ocean temperature anomaly (deviations from long-term means) database to quantify the spatial and temporal characteristics of temperature anomalies related to both coral bleaching and disease. Then we tested how patterns varied in several key metrics of disturbance severity, including anomaly frequency, magnitude, duration and size.
Results
Our analyses found both global variation in temperature anomalies and fine-grained spatial variability in the frequency, duration and magnitude of temperature anomalies. However, we discovered that even during major climatic events with strong spatial signatures, like the El Nino-Southern Oscillation, areas that had high numbers of anomalies varied between years. In addition, we found that 48% of bleaching-related anomalies and 44% of disease-related anomalies were less than 50 km2, much smaller than the resolution of most models used to forecast climate changes.
Main conclusions
The fine-scale variability in temperature anomalies has several key implications for understanding spatial patterns in coral bleaching- and disease-related anomalies as well as for designing protected areas to conserve coral reefs in a changing climate. Spatial heterogeneity in temperature anomalies suggests that certain reefs could be targeted for protection because they exhibit differences in thermal stress. However, temporal variability in anomalies could complicate efforts to protect reefs, because high anomalies in one year are not necessarily predictive of future patterns of stress. Together, our results suggest that temperature anomalies related to coral bleaching and disease are likely to be highly heterogeneous and could produce more localized impacts of climate change.

AB Between July 2005 and March 2009, 33 northern fur seals (Callorhinus ursinus) were collected after stranding along the central California coast between Sonoma and San Luis Obispo counties. Of these, 26 were collected live and could be observed for signs of neuroexcitotoxicity. Approximately half exhibited the classic clinical signs of domoic acid (DA) toxicosis including muscle twitches and ataxia, to seizures and coma, and had lesions in the central nervous system and heart. Several biological fluids were collected for DA analysis including aqueous humor, serum, stomach contents, feces, urine, abdominal fluid, amniotic fluid and milk. Four analytical methods were employed including receptor binding assay (RBA), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC-UV) and ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). The DA concentrations determined by each method were positively correlated. Domoic acid was detected in 83% of fecal samples collected from northern fur seals in the present study and in one animal was calculated to contain up to 18.6 mu g DA/g. Interestingly, DA was detected and confirmed in the aqueous humor of the only animal this sample-type was collected from, suggesting that this may prove to be a useful diagnostic body fluid for algal toxin detection in marine mammal mortality events. These data document for the first time that northern fur seals are impacted by DA-producing harmful algal blooms along the California coast. Published by Elsevier B.V.

AB We demonstrate a network monitoring technique for the frequency chirping of external modulators based on linear optical sampling. We present alpha-parameter waveforms of digital data modulation from simultaneously measured amplitude and phase. Digital data modulation was compared to sinusoidal modulation to demonstrate the measurement capabilities. The high sensitivity of our technique was used to resolve the detailed impact of a 23-dB extinction ratio on the chirp of a Mach-Zehnder modulator. Unlike some previous methods, a monochromator or optical fiber with known dispersion are not required.

AB The concept of the fluctuation field has been widely used to characterize thermal properties of magnetic materials; in particular, the characterization of aftereffect. The Preisach-Arrhenius method has been used successfully to determine the fluctuation field based on aftereffect curves from different holding fields. An approximate method used to determine the fluctuation field. the zero-crossing method, has led to erroneous and misleading results. In this paper, the accuracy of the zero-crossing method is tested, when applied to sets of preconditioned artificial data with a predetermined fluctuation field. The Preisach-Arrhenius method accurately calculates the correct fluctuation field for all various assumed parameters, while the zero-crossing method produces significant errors especially when the holding field approaches near the coercivity and fails when beyond the coercivity. The error of the zero-crossing method is a result of not properly accounting for the anhysteretic curve variation with holding field.

AB This paper presents a detailed study of the IF properties of phonon-cooled NbN hot electron bolometer (HEB) terahertz mixers and receivers, performed over the widest intermediate frequency range reported so far. First, a broadband technique is used to obtain the IF small-signal output impedance of HEB mixers using network analyzer measurements. The impedance is measured over an IF range of 300 kHz to 8.5 GHz under the presence of dc bias and local oscillator (LO) illumination. The LO frequencies (f(LO)) used in this investigation range from 694 GHz to nearly 2 THz, covering frequencies below and above the superconducting bandgap frequency of the NbN film for the first time. The impedance ( real and imaginary parts) can be fitted to the Standard model for HEB devices over almost the entire range of frequencies measured. The impedance data are then used in conjunction with a computer-aided design model for the monolithic micorwave integrated circuit IF amplifier to design and analyze the performance of integrated receivers (mixer/IF amplifier combinations). The measured and predicted variations of the receiver noise, mixer gain, and mixer output noise with IF are in good agreement. A record IF noise bandwidth of 8 GHz (obtained for f(LO) = 694 GHz) is demonstrated for a receiver designed using the technique described in this paper.

AB This paper describes the large-scale experimental results from the Face Recognition Vendor Test (FRVT) 2006 and the Iris Challenge Evaluation (ICE) 2006. The FRVT 2006 looked at recognition from high-resolution still frontal face images and 3D face images, and measured performance for still frontal face images taken under controlled and uncontrolled illumination. The ICE 2006 evaluation reported verification performance for both left and right irises. The images in the ICE 2006 intentionally represent a broader range of quality than the ICE 2006 sensor would normally acquire. This includes images that did not pass the quality control software embedded in the sensor. The FRVT 2006 results from controlled still and 3D images document at least an order-of-magnitude improvement in recognition performance over the FRVT 2002. The FRVT 2006 and the ICE 2006 compared recognition performance from high-resolution still frontal face images, 3D face images, and the single-iris images. On the FRVT 2006 and the ICE 2006 data sets, recognition performance was comparable for high-resolution frontal face, 3D face, and the iris images. In an experiment comparing human and algorithms on matching face identity across changes in illumination on frontal face images, the best performing algorithms were more accurate than humans on unfamiliar faces.

ID RECOGNITION ALGORITHMS; VERIFICATION; PERFORMANCE; FEATURES; HUMANS
AB A study is presented showing how three state-of-the-art algorithms from the Face Recognition Vendor Test 2006 (FRVT 2006) are effected by factors related to face images and people. The recognition scenario compares highly controlled images to images taken of people as they stand before a camera in settings such as hallways and outdoors in front of buildings. A Generalized Linear Mixed Model (GLMM) is used to estimate the probability an algorithm successfully verifies a person conditioned upon the factors included in the study. The factors associated with people are: Gender, Race, Age and whether they wear Glasses. The factors associated with images are: the size of the face, edge density and region density. The setting, indoors versus outdoors, is also a factor. Edge density can change the estimated probability of verification dramatically, for example from about 0.15 to 0.85. However, this effect is not consistent across algorithm or setting. This finding shows that simple measurable factors are capable of characterizing face quality; however, these factors typically interact with both algorithm and setting. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.

To better understand these experimental observations, density functional calculations were used to obtain the gas phase binding energies and molecular structures of cobaltocenium, Co(Cp)(2)(+), with 1,3-butadiene, 2,4-hexadiene, and 2,3-hexadiene. Calculations were conducted for both cis and trans molecular configurations, in both singlet and triplet electronic states, and with a variety of cyclopentadienyl hapticities. For 1,3-butadiene the 18-electron rule would predict a [Co(eta(5)-Cp)(2)(1,3-butadiene)](+), however, the lowest energy structure, [Co(eta(5)-Cp)(2)(1,3-butadiene)](+), has a higher than expected cyclopentadienyl hapticity. In this structure a distance of nearly 0.5 nm between the metal core and the butadiene ligand leads to very little electron sharing. Thus the detected ions are better described as non-covalent ion-molecule complexes. In turn, the lack of orbital overlap leads to a low enthalpy giving the cis-butadiene complex a -13.0 kJ/mol binding energy and the trans-butadiene binding a -3.8 kJ/mol binding energy. These low binding energies lead to low levels of charged alkanes in the reactive ion formation process in agreement with experimental observations. Published by Elsevier B.V.

AB The spherical version of the hydrogen intermolecular potential phi(P) recently determined in ab initio calculations by Patkowski et al. was used to calculate the viscosity and thermal conductivity of hydrogen using a full quantum-mechanical formalism. Viscosities in the temperature range 203 K to 394 K were compared with recent high-accuracy (uncertainty of 0.084 %) measurements of May et al. The measured viscosities all fall in a range between 0.02 % and 0.06 % below the calculated viscosities. This close agreement supports the accuracy of fP. Classical calculations of the viscosity with fP fall in a range between 0.4 % and 1.3 % below the experimental values. In the lower temperature range 20 K to 300 K, other measurements typically lie above the theoretical values by a few percent. Above 400 K, measurements fall below the theoretical values by a fraction that increases with temperature, reaching -4 % at 2000 K. For normal hydrogen, the average fractional difference between the calculated thermal conductivity in the temperature range 21 K to 384 K and measurements reported in six publications is (0.1 +/- 1.1) %. For para-hydrogen in the temperature range 20 K to 275 K, the average fractional difference between calculations and measurements reported in three publications is (-0.7 +/- 1.2) %. At higher temperatures (600 K to 2000 K), measurements range between 4 % and 10 % below the calculated values.

AB A problem common to all molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations used to estimate fluid properties is how to decide when adequate sampling of the phase space of the system has been realized. One procedure for addressing the sampling question is to construct the energy metric for the system. The energy metric provides an indication of when the time-averaged energies of the individual molecules converge to a common value (self-averaging). The time required for the value of the energy metric to decrease to 1% of its initial value is a useful indication that adequate sampling has been realized. The energy metric based ergodic convergence times for the molecular liquids water, acetonitrile, methanol, and carbon dioxide plus mixtures of water and methanol and of water and acetonitrile are reported. The convergence time tau for water is about 100 ps at ambient conditions; for carbon dioxide it is about 300 ps while for methanol it is about 800 ps. The convergence times for water/acetonitrile mixtures are much longer due to the microheterogeneous structure of the mixtures. The ergodic convergence time is an increasing function of the mole fraction of methanol in the mixtures. The convergence times for water along the liquid side of the liquid-vapor coexistence curve are found to decrease strongly as the temperature increases.

AB This paper presents a user-friendly database software package of the single-scattering properties of individual dust-like aerosol particles for application to radiative transfer calculations in a spectral region from ultraviolet (UV) to far-infrared (far-IR). To expand the degree of morphological freedom of the commonly used spheroidal and spherical models, tri-axial ellipsoids were assumed to be the overall shape of dust-like aerosol particles. A combination of four computational methods, including the Lorenz-Mie theory, the T-matrix method, the discrete dipole approximation, and an improved geometric optics method, was employed to compute the phase matrix, extinction efficiency and single-scattering albedo of ellipsoids with various aspect ratios and sizes. The scattering property database was developed for 42 particle shapes specified in terms of two aspect ratios, 69 refractive indices and 471 size parameters. Additionally, accompanying software, based on interpolation, was developed to provide the single-scattering properties for user-specified aspect ratios, refractive indices and size parameters. The software package allows for the derivation of the bulk optical properties for a given distribution of particle microphysical parameters (i.e.. refractive index, size parameter and two aspect ratios). The array-oriented single-scattering property data sets are stored in the NetCDF format. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB There is a continuing need for greater sensitivity in magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) sensors. We have found a new approach to achieving large tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) with a very soft free layer. The high TMR is achieved by conventional means of annealing a bottom pinned MTJ that has Ta and Ru capping layers. The soft free layer is achieved by etching almost to the MgO tunnel barrier and depositing a thick soft magnetic film. The results are far superior to annealing the MTJ with the thick soft layer already deposited. (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3358609]

AB Small-angle neutron scattering with polarization analysis reveals that Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles with 90 angstrom diameters have ferrimagnetic moments significantly reduced from that of bulk Fe(3)O(4) at 10 K, nominal saturation. Combined with previous results for an equivalent applied field at 200 K, a core-disordered shell picture of a spatially reduced ferrimagnetic core emerges, even well below the bulk blocking temperature. Zero-field cooling suggests that this magnetic morphology may be intrinsic to the nanoparticle, rather than field induced, at 10 K. (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3358049]

AB The dependence of the magnetization profile of Co/Pd multilayer films with very thin individual layers, Co (0.4 nm)/Pd (0.6 nm), on the energy of ion milling is investigated using scanning electron microscopy with polarization analysis (SEMPA). The effect of Ar ion milling on the Co/Pd magnetization angle distribution is compared for ion milling at 50 eV, 1 keV, and 2 keV. We find that 1 and 2 keV Ar ion milling causes a measurable change in the out-of-plane magnetization angle distribution as material is removed, but ion milling with 50 eV Ar ions does not significantly alter the magnetization. This enables quantitative imaging of all three vector components of the surface magnetization of the Co/Pd multilayer films with 20 nm lateral spatial resolution using SEMPA.

AB Aluminum doped with Manganese (AlMn) forms a superconducting alloy with the transition temperature suppressed by the added manganese. We present quasiparticle density of states (DOS) measurements on superconducting AlMn alloys made by current-voltage measurements on normal-metal/insulator/superconductor tunnel junctions. The DOS remains Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer-like with a reduced gap, matching the predictions of Kaiser. However, we measure additional subgap states not predicted by Kaiser, and demonstrate that these subgap states will harm some potential applications. (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics.

AB Effect of homogenization of the chemical composition and crystal structure on the magnetocaloric effects have been studied for bulk Mn1.1Fe0.9P0.8Ge0.2 alloy prepared by mechanical alloying and subsequent spark plasma sintering method. After optimal homogenization treatment, the ferromagnetic impurity, Ge6Fe3Mn4 phase was completely eliminated from the alloy; furthermore, the crystal lattice constant of the MnFePGe main phase, which possesses a hexagonal Fe2P-type structure, varies obviously compared with that of the sintered sample. As a result, the Curie temperature, T-C, of the alloy increases from 253 to 267.5 K and the maximum magnetic entropy change, vertical bar Delta S-m vertical bar, also increases from 36.36 to 44.35 J/kg K under 3 T magnetic field. Furthermore, the thermal hysteresis of M-T curves around T-C upon heating and cooling, a signature of a first-order magnetic phase transition, reduces from 15 K for as-sintered sample to 9 K for annealed sample.

AB Scientists from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) worked in a collaborative partnership with archaeologists from the National Park Service's (NPS) Submerged Resources Center (SRC) to develop a finite element model (FEM) of the battleship USS Arizona. An FEM is a computer-based engineering model that calculates theoretical stresses, propagation of force, and shape changes to a structure under loads using thousands or even millions of individual elements whose individual responses are well understood NIST researchers created an FEM of an 80 ft. (25 m) midships section of the Arizona site to analyze archaeological site formation processes on the sunken battleship, in particular to determine the current condition of the wreck and predict its future strength and structural integrity as It continues to corrode The NIST's FEM study is one aspect of a larger project under the direction of the NPS, the USS Arizona Preservation Project, whose goal is to determine the nature and rate of corrosion affecting USS Arizona, and to model its long-term structural deterioration The FEM incorporates findings from other key components of the USS Arizona Preservation Project, such as steel hull corrosion rates, structural surveys of the vessel, sediment compaction studies, and analysis of the concretion that covers the ship's hull, into a single tool that is being used to predict how the wreck will degrade in the future Published by Elsevier Ltd

Experimental methods included adiabatic heat-capacity calorimetry, inclined-piston manometry, and combustion calorimetry. Thermodynamic properties for acridine (Chemical Abstracts registry number [260-94-6]) were reported previously and included those measured with adiabatic heat-capacity calorimetry, comparative ebulliometry, inclined-piston manometry, and combustion calorimetry. New measurement results for acridine reported here are densities determined with a vibrating-tube densimeter and heat capacities for the liquid phase at saturation pressure determined with a differential-scanning calorimeter (d.s.c.). All critical properties were estimated. Molar entropies for the ideal-gas state were derived for both compounds at selected temperatures. Independent calculations of entropies for the ideal-gas state were performed at the B3LYP/6-31+G(d, p) model chemistry for phenazine and acridine. These are shown to be in excellent accord with the calorimetric results. All results are compared with experimental property values reported in the literature. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Experimental methods were adiabatic heat-capacity calorimetry and comparative ebulliometry. Thermodynamic properties for phenanthridine [229-87-8] and 7,8-benzoquinoline [230-27-3] were reported previously and included those measured with adiabatic heat-capacity calorimetry, comparative ebulliometry (7,8-benzoquinoline only), inclined-piston manometry, and combustion calorimetry.

Independent calculations of entropies for the ideal-gas state were performed at the B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) model chemistry for the three compounds studied. These are shown to be in excellent accord with the calorimetric results for 1,10-phenanthroline and phenanthridine. Results for 7,8-benzoquinoline indicate that the crystal state is disordered.

TI Importance of Ocean Heat Uptake Efficacy to Transient Climate Change
SO JOURNAL OF CLIMATE
LA English
DT Article
ID ATMOSPHERE MODEL; CARBON-DIOXIDE; MEAN RESPONSE; SENSITIVITY; CO2;
ADJUSTMENT; AOGCM
AB This article proposes a modification to the standard forcing-feedback diagnostic energy balance model to account for 1) differences between effective and equilibrium climate sensitivities and 2) the variation of effective sensitivity over time in climate change experiments with coupled atmosphere-ocean climate models. In the spirit of Hansen et al. an efficacy factor is applied to the ocean heat uptake. Comparing the time evolution of the surface warming in high and low efficacy models demonstrates the role of this efficacy in the transient response to CO2 forcing. Abrupt CO2 increase experiments show that the large efficacy of the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory's Climate Model version 2.1 (CM2.1) sets up in the first two decades following the increase in forcing. The use of an efficacy is necessary to fit this model's global mean temperature evolution in periods with both increasing and stable forcing. The intermodel correlation of transient climate response with ocean heat uptake efficacy is greater than its correlation with equilibrium climate sensitivity in an ensemble of climate models used for the third and fourth Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assessments. When computed at the time of doubling in the standard experiment with 1% yr(-1) increase in CO2, the efficacy is variable amongst the models but is generally greater than 1, averages between 1.3 and 1.4, and is as large as 1.75 in several models.

AB The present study documents a pronounced interdecadal change in summer rainfall over southern China around 1992/93 and explores the plausible reasons for this change. The summer rainfall is persistently below normal during 1980-92 and above normal during 1993-2002. Coherent changes in atmospheric circulation are identified over East Asia and the South China Sea (SCS)-western North Pacific (WNP). The increase in rainfall is accompanied by an increase in lower-level convergence, midtropospheric ascent, and upper-level divergence over southern China. The changes in lower-level winds feature two anomalous anticyclones: one over the SCS-subtropical WNP, and the other over north China-Mongolia. The outflows from the two anomalous anticyclones converge over southern China, leading to anomalous moisture convergence, enhanced ascent, and increased rainfall. The development of the northern anticyclone is related to an increase in the Tibetan Plateau snow cover in the preceding winter-spring that leads to a contrast in temperature change between the plateau and the surrounding regions. The relatively small temperature change over the plateau, coupled with increases in temperature to the west and the east, leads to an increase in surface pressure extending northward from the plateau. The development of the southern anticyclone is related to an increase in sea surface temperature in the equatorial Indian Ocean that enhances lower-level convergence and ascent. The accompanying upper-level divergent flows from the tropical Indian Ocean to the SCS-WNP lead to the development of anomalous descent and lower-level anomalous anticyclone over the SCS-WNP.

AB The fast and slow components of global warming in a comprehensive climate model are isolated by examining the response to an instantaneous return to preindustrial forcing. The response is characterized by an initial fast exponential decay with an e-folding time smaller than 5 yr, leaving behind a remnant that evolves more slowly. The slow component is estimated to be small at present, as measured by the global mean near-surface air temperature, and, in the model examined, grows to 0.4 degrees C by 2100 in the A1B scenario from the Special Report on Emissions Scenarios (SRES), and then to 1.4 degrees C by 2300 if one holds radiative forcing fixed after 2100. The dominance of the fast component at present is supported by examining the response to an instantaneous doubling of CO2 and by the excellent fit to the model's ensemble mean twentieth-century evolution with a simple one-box model with no long times scales.

AB It is shown that space-time smoothed outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) indices of equatorial Pacific seasonal variability can give an interestingly different perspective on El Nino than is obtained from sea surface temperature (SST) indices or the Southern Oscillation index (SOI). In particular, the index defined by averaging over an eastern-central region exhibits strong event like character-more so than in any other El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) warm-phase index known to the authors. Although the historical record for OLR is much shorter than for SST or SOI, OLR offers a direct connection to anomalous atmospheric heating. It is suggested that the years identified as events by this OLR index deserve particular recognition; and it is noteworthy that they all meet the criteria for "El Nino" years. Other years, whose warm-ENSO status differs depending upon the index favored, are not particularly distinctive from an OLR perspective, and a case could be made that either the other years do not deserve special classification or that they should be identified as different from the OLR-distinguished El Nino years.

AB The observed increase in global mean surface temperature (GMST) over the industrial era is less than 40% of that expected from observed increases in long-lived greenhouse gases together with the best-estimate equilibrium climate sensitivity given by the 2007 Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Possible reasons for this warming discrepancy are systematically examined here. The warming discrepancy is found to be due mainly to some combination of two factors: the IPCC best estimate of climate sensitivity being too high and/or the greenhouse gas forcing being partially offset by forcing by increased concentrations of atmospheric aerosols; the increase in global heat content due to thermal disequilibrium accounts for less than 25% of the discrepancy, and cooling by natural temperature variation can account for only about 15%. Current uncertainty in climate sensitivity is shown to preclude determining the amount of future fossil fuel CO2 emissions that would be compatible with any chosen maximum allowable increase in GMST; even the sign of such allowable future emissions is unconstrained. Resolving this situation, by empirical determination of the earth's climate sensitivity from the historical record over the industrial period or through use of climate models whose accuracy is evaluated by their performance over this period, is shown to require substantial reduction in the uncertainty of aerosol forcing over this period.

TI Impact of Duration Thresholds on Atlantic Tropical Cyclone Counts

AB Records of Atlantic basin tropical cyclones (TCs) since the late nineteenth century indicate a very large upward trend in storm frequency. This increase in documented TCs has been previously interpreted as resulting from anthropogenic climate change. However, improvements in observing and recording practices provide an alternative interpretation for these changes: recent studies suggest that the number of potentially missed TCs is sufficient to explain a large part of the recorded increase in TC counts. This study explores the influence of another factor-TC duration-on observed changes in TC frequency, using a widely used Atlantic hurricane database (HURDAT). It is found that the occurrence of short-lived storms (duration of 2 days or less) in the database has increased dramatically, from less than one per year in the late nineteenth-early twentieth century to about five per year since about 2000, while medium-to long-lived storms have increased little, if at all. Thus, the previously documented increase in total TC frequency since the late nineteenth century in the database is primarily due to an increase in very short-lived TCs.
The authors also undertake a sampling study based upon the distribution of ship observations, which provides quantitative estimates of the frequency of missed TCs, focusing just on the moderate to long-lived systems with durations exceeding 2 days in the raw HURDAT. Upon adding the estimated numbers of missed TCs, the time series of moderate to long-lived Atlantic TCs show substantial multidecadal variability, but neither time series exhibits a significant trend since the late nineteenth century, with a nominal decrease in the adjusted time series.
Thus, to understand the source of the century-scale increase in Atlantic TC counts in HURDAT, one must explain the relatively monotonic increase in very short-duration storms since the late nineteenth century. While it is possible that the recorded increase in short-duration TCs represents a real climate signal, the authors consider that it is more plausible that the increase arises primarily from improvements in the quantity and quality of observations, along with enhanced interpretation techniques. These have allowed National Hurricane Center forecasters to better monitor and detect initial TC formation, and thus incorporate increasing numbers of very short-lived systems into the TC database.

TI Impact of Changes in Climate and Halocarbons on Recent Lower
Stratosphere Ozone and Temperature Trends
SO JOURNAL OF CLIMATE
LA English
DT Article
ID METEOROLOGICAL REGIMES; MIDDLE ATMOSPHERE; GREENHOUSE GASES; MODEL
AB The primary focus of this paper is the analysis of the roles of long-term increases in carbon dioxide (CO2) and sea surface temperatures (used as indicators of climate change) and man-made halocarbons (indicators of chemical ozone depletion linked to halogens) in explaining the observed trend of ozone in the tropical lower stratosphere and implications for related variables including temperature and tropopause height. Published estimates indicate a decrease of approximately 10% in observed ozone concentrations in this region between 1979 and 2005. Using a coupled chemistry-climate atmosphere model forced by observed sea surface temperatures and surface concentrations of long-lived greenhouse gases and halocarbons, the authors show that the simulations display substantial decreases in tropical ozone that compare well in both latitudinal and vertical structure with those observed. Based on sensitivity simulations, the analysis indicates that the decreases in the lower stratospheric (85-50 hPa) tropical ozone distribution are mostly associated with increases in CO2 and sea surface temperatures, in contrast to those at higher latitudes, which are largely driven by halocarbon increases. Factors influencing temperature trends and tropopause heights in this region are also probed. It is shown that the modeled temperature trends in the lower tropical stratosphere are also associated with increases in CO2 and sea surface temperatures. Following the analysis of lower stratospheric tropical temperature trends, the secondary focus of this paper is on related changes in tropopause height. Much of the simulated tropopause rise in the tropical zone as measured by tropopause height is found to be linked to increases in sea surface temperatures and CO2, while increases in halocarbons dominate the tropopause height changes in the subtropics near 308; both drivers thus affect different regions of the simulated changes in the position of the tropopause. Finally, it is shown that halocarbon increases dominate the changes in the width of the region where modeled total ozone displays tropical character (as indicated by low values of the column abundance). Hence the findings suggest that climate changes and halocarbon changes make different contributions to different metrics used to characterize tropical change.

TI Comments on "A Surrogate Ensemble Study of Climate Reconstruction
Methods: Stochasticity and Robustness''
SO JOURNAL OF CLIMATE
LA English

ID PROXY; MILLENNIUM
AB In a recent paper, Christiansen et al. compared climate reconstruction methods using surrogate ensembles from a coupled general circulation model and pseudoproxies. Their results using the regularized expectation maximization method with truncated total least squares (RegEM-TTLS) appear inconsistent with previous studies. Results presented here show that the poor performance of RegEM-TTLS in Christiansen et al. is due to 1) their use of the nonhybrid method compared to the hybrid method; 2) a stagnation tolerance that is too large and does not permit the solution to stabilize, which is compounded in another paper by Christiansen et al. by the introduction of an inappropriate measure of stagnation; and 3) their use of a truncation parameter that is too large. Thus, the poor performance of RegEM-TTLS in both Christiansen et al. papers is due to poor implementation of the method rather than to shortcomings inherent to the method.

AB A high-affinity inhibitor protein called CIP, produced by small truncations of p35, was experimentally identified. P35 is a physiological activator of the cyclin-dependent kinase cdk5. P25 is derived from proteolytic truncation of p35 within "stressed" neurons, and it is associated with the hyperphosphorylation of specific neuronal proteins, typically occurring in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's. Here, we report a study of the binding mechanisms of the cdk5-p25 and cdk5-CIP complexes. This provides a better understanding of the source of the inhibitory activity of the protein CIP. We use a geometry-based technique to test the hypothesis that p25's truncation increases the flexibility of CIP and thus prevents cdk5 from reaching its active conformation. Our study is based on a geometry-based alignment algorithm, which aligns two given protein conformations with respect to their interfaces. Our results support the flexibility hypothesis and will be used as a basis for targeted molecular dynamics simulations.

AB We give a survey of information needed for quantitative surface analyses by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). We describe four terms (the inelastic mean free path, the effective attenuation length, the mean escape depth, and the information depth) that are commonly used as descriptors of the surface sensitivity of an XPS experiment. Due to the complicating effects of elastic scattering, numerical values for each measure are generally different. Analytical formulae are given for each quantity. We describe procedures for determination of surface composition (with an emphasis on three types of relative sensitivity factors), measurements of overlayer-film thickness, and determination of composition-versus-depth information from angle-resolved XPS. Information is given on measurements of photoelectron intensities and the effects of sample morphology and sample roughness. Sources of data are given for all parameters needed for quantitative XPS. We discuss some major remaining uncertainties in quantitative XPS analyses and describe expected future areas of growth in XPS applications. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB Field observations were supplemented with laboratory experiments to reveal patterns of salinity selection and preference for grey snapper Lutjanus griseus (c. 21 cm total length, L(T)), an ecologically and economically important species in the south-eastern U. S. A. Fish abundance data were examined from a long-term field survey conducted in the mangrove habitats of Biscayne Bay, Florida, where salinities ranged from <1 to 40. First, regression analyses indicated significant, positive linear relationships with salinity for both L. griseus frequency of occurrence and concentration (density when present). These patterns are inconsistent with physiological expectations of minimizing energetic osmoregulatory costs. Next, the salinity preference and swimming activity of 11 L. griseus (ranging from 18 to 23 cm L(T)) were investigated using a newly developed electronic shuttlebox system. In the laboratory, fish preferred intermediate salinities in the range of 9-23. Swimming activity (measured in terms of spontaneous swimming speed) followed a parabolic relationship with salinity, with reduced activity at salinity extremes perhaps reflecting compensation for higher osmoregulatory costs. It is suspected that the basis of the discrepancy between laboratory and field observations for size classes at or near maturity ultimately relates to the reproductive imperative to move towards offshore (high-salinity) coral-reef habitats, a necessity that probably overrides the strategy of minimizing osmoregulatory energetic costs.

AB Atlantic angel sharks Squatina dumeril were collected by fishery-dependent and independent trawls from 2002 to 2008 for reproductive analysis. Female S. dumeril have only one functional ovary (left), with an average litter size of seven pups. The reproductive cycle is at least biennial, though the seasonality of vitellogenesis could not be determined. Gestation is c. 12 months, and embryo data support a seasonal trend in reproduction, with parturition occurring in the spring months (February to June). Mature male S. dumeril have spines on the outer margins of their pectoral fins, and there is an apparent peak in gonad size in the spring. The total length at which 50% of the population is mature is 85.8 and 92.9 cm for females and males, respectively.

AB Observations of regional net ecosystem exchange (NEE) of CO(2) for 1997-2007 were analyzed for climatic controls on interannual variability (IAV). Quantifying IAV of regional (10(4)-10(6) km(2)) NEE over long time periods is key to understanding potential feedbacks between climate and the carbon cycle. Four independent techniques estimated monthly regional NEE for 10(4) km(2) in a spatially heterogeneous temperate-boreal transition region of the north central United States, centered on the Park Falls, Wisconsin, United States, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration tall tower site. These techniques included two bottom-up methods, based on flux tower upscaling and forest inventory based demographic modeling, respectively, and two top-down methods, based on tall tower equilibrium boundary layer budgets and tracer-transport inversion, respectively. While all four methods revealed a moderate carbon sink, they diverged significantly in magnitude. Coherence of relative magnitude and variability of NEE anomalies was strong across the methods. The strongest coherence was a trend of declining carbon sink since 2002. Most climatic controls were not strongly correlated with IAV. Significant controls on IAV were those related to hydrology, such as water table depth, and atmospheric CO(2). Weaker relationships were found with phenological controls such as autumn soil temperature. Hydrologic relationships were strongest with a 1 year lag, potentially highlighting a previously unrecognized predictor of IAV in this region. These results highlight a need for continued development of techniques to estimate regional IAV and incorporation of hydrologic cycling into couple carbon-climate models.

AB Observations and inverse models suggest that small-scale turbulent mixing is enhanced in the Southern Ocean in regions above rough topography. The enhancement extends O(1) km above the topography, suggesting that mixing is supported by the breaking of gravity waves radiated from the ocean bottom. In this study, it is shown that the observed mixing rates can be sustained by internal waves generated by geostrophic motions flowing over bottom topography. Weakly nonlinear theory is used to describe the internal wave generation and the feedback of the waves on the zonally averaged flow. Vigorous inertial oscillations are driven at the ocean bottom by waves generated at steep topography. The wave radiation and dissipation at equilibrium is therefore the result of both geostrophic flow and inertial oscillations differing substantially from the classical lee-wave problem. The theoretical predictions are tested versus two-dimensional high-resolution numerical simulations with parameters representative of Drake Passage. This work suggests that mixing in Drake Passage can be supported by geostrophic motions impinging on rough topography rather than by barotropic tidal motions, as is commonly assumed.

AB The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is conducting research on developing reference lung cancer lesions, called phantoms, to test computed tomography (CT) scanners and their software. FDA loaned two semi-spherical phantoms to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), called Green and Pink, and asked to have the phantoms' volumes estimated. This report describes in detail both the metrology and computational methods used to estimate the phantoms' volumes. Three sets of coordinate measuring machine (CMM) measured data were produced. One set of data involved reference surface data measurements of a known calibrated metal sphere. The other two sets were measurements of the two FDA phantoms at two densities, called the coarse set and the dense set. Two computational approaches were applied to the data. In the first approach spherical models were fit to the calibrated sphere data and to the phantom data. The second approach was to model the data points on the boundaries of the spheres with surface B-splines and then use the Divergence Theorem to estimate the volumes. Fitting a B-spline model to the calibrated sphere data was done as a reference check on the algorithm performance. It gave assurance that the volumes estimated for the phantoms would be meaningful. The results for the coarse and dense data sets tended to predict the volumes as expected and the results did show that the Green phantom was very near spherical. This was confirmed by both computational methods. The spherical model did not fit the Pink phantom as well and the B-spline approach provided a better estimate of the volume in that case.

This approach can be applied to the case that the comparison artifacts have the same nominal values or the measured quantities have the same magnitudes. The degrees of equivalence between the pairs of National Metrology Institutes that have not participated in the same comparisons, and their corresponding uncertainties are established. The approach is applied to link the CCEM-K2 and SIM.EM-K2 comparisons for resistance at 1 G Omega level.

TI Interim Report on the Examination of Corrosion Damage in Homes
Constructed With Imported Wallboard: Examination of Samples Received
September 28, 2009

TECHNOLOGY
LA English
DT Article
DE atmospheric corrosion; copper; copper sulfide; household appliances;
hydrogen sulfide; indoor atmosphere; sulfide; wallboard
AB Since many household systems are fabricated out of metallic materials, changes to the household environment that accelerate corrosion rates will increase the frequency of failures in these systems. Recently, it has been reported that homes constructed with imported wallboard have increased failure rates in appliances, air conditioner heat exchanger coils, and visible corrosion on electrical wiring and other metal components. At the request of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) became involved through the Interagency Agreement CPSC-1-09-0023 to perform metallurgical analyses on samples and corrosion products removed from homes constructed using imported wallboard. This document reports on the analysis of the first group of samples received by NIST from CPSC.
The samples received by NIST on September 28, 2009 consisted of copper tubing for supplying natural gas and two air conditioner heat exchanger coils. The examinations performed by NIST consisted of photography, metallurgical cross-sectioning, optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and x-ray diffraction (XRD). Leak tests were also performed on the air conditioner heat exchanger coils. The objective of these examinations was to determine extent and nature of the corrosive attack, the chemical composition of the corrosion product, and the potential chemical reactions or environmental species responsible for accelerated corrosion.
A thin black corrosion product was found on samples of the copper tubing. The XRD analysis of this layer indicated that this corrosion product was a copper sulfide phase and the diffraction peaks corresponded with those for the mineral digenite (Cu9S5). Corrosion products were also observed on other types of metals in the air conditioner coils where condensation would frequently wet the metals. The thickness of the corrosion product layer on a copper natural gas supply pipe with a wall thickness of 1.2 mm +/- 0.2 mm was between 5 mu m and 10 mu m.
These results indicate that a chemical compound that contains reduced sulfur, such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S), is present in the environment to which these samples were exposed. The literature indicates that these species strongly influence corrosion rates of most metals and alloys even at low concentrations. None of the samples examined were failed components, and no evidence of imminent failure was found on any of the samples examined.
All of the corrosion damage observed to date is consistent with a general attack form of corrosion that will progress in a uniform and relatively predictable manner. No evidence of localized attack was found, but these forms of attack typically require an incubation period before they initiate. Therefore, the number of samples examined to date is too small to draw a conclusion on the relative probability of these forms of corrosion being able to cause or not cause failure. Samples from failed systems or from laboratory tests conducted over a wide range of metallurgical and environmental conditions will be required to assess the probability of these other forms of corrosion causing failure.

AB Software assurance is an important part of the software development process to reduce risks and ensure that the software is dependable and trustworthy. Software defects and weaknesses can often lead to software errors and failures and to exploitation by malicious users. Testing, certification and accreditation have been traditionally used in the software assurance process to attempt to improve software trustworthiness.
In this paper, we examine a methodology known as a structured assurance model, which has been widely used for assuring system safety, for its potential application to software assurance. We describe the structured assurance model and examine its application and use for software assurance. We identify strengths and weaknesses of this approach and suggest areas for further investigation and testing.

AB Calcium borohydride can reversibly store up to 9.6 wt% hydrogen; however, the material displays poor cyclability, generally associated with the formation of stable intermediate species. In an effort to understand the role of such intermediates on the hydrogen storage properties of Ca(BH(4))(2), calcium dodecahydro-closo-dodecaborate was isolated and characterized by diffraction and spectroscopic techniques. The crystal structure of CaB(12)H(12) was determined from powder XRD data and confirmed by DFT and neutron vibrational spectroscopy studies. Attempts to dehydrogenate/hydrogenate mixtures of CaB(12)H(12) and CaH(2) were made under conditions known to favor partial reversibility in calcium borohydride. However, up to 670 K no notable formation of Ca(BH(4))(2) (during hydrogenation) or CaB(6) (during dehydrogenation) occurred. It was demonstrated that the stability of CaB(12)H(12) can be significantly altered using CaH(2) as a destabilizing agent to favor the hydrogen release. Published by Elsevier Inc.

AB NOAA's National Geodetic Survey has developed the horizontal time-dependent positioning (HTDP) software to provide a way for its users to estimate the coordinate changes associated with horizontal crustal motion in the United States. HTDP contains a model for estimating horizontal crustal velocities and separate models for estimating the displacements associated with 29 earthquakes (two in Alaska and 27 in California). This software is updated periodically to provide more accurate estimates for crustal velocities and earthquake displacements, as well as to include models for additional earthquakes. In June 2008, NGS released version 3.0 of HTDP (HTDP 3.0) that introduces an improved capability for predicting crustal velocities, based on a tectonic block model of the western contiguous United States (CONUS), that is, from the Rockies to the Pacific coast. Values for the model parameters that predict the velocity at any point within the domain were estimated from 4,890 horizontal velocity vectors (derived from repeated geodetic observations), 170 fault slip rates, and 258 fault slip vector azimuths. Extensive testing indicates that this model can predict velocities within CONUS with a standard error of less than 2 mm/year in both the north and east components. HTDP 3.0 also introduces a model for the combined coseismic and postseismic displacements associated with the magnitude 7.9 Denali earthquake that occurred in central Alaska on November 3, 2002.

ID X-RAY-ABSORPTION; SPECTROSCOPY; EXAFS
AB A four-channel ionization chamber has been designed, constructed and tested. This ionization chamber allows X-ray absorption spectra to be collected in transmission from up to four samples simultaneously. This results in spectra that are free of systematic uncertainty in relative energy alignment introduced by scan-to-scan stability of the monochromator or of numerical uncertainty associated with a post-processing alignment algorithm, allowing, in a single shot, an absolute measure of edge shift between four samples of different valence. As four samples can be measured in parallel, the time expended over the course of an experiment to cycle the measurement environment between its rest state and the measurement condition is substantially reduced. The ionization chamber is simple in design and could be implemented at virtually any XAFS beamline with a horizontal fan of radiation such as that provided by a bend magnet or wiggler.
