Superionicity may be aided by the large size, quasispherical shape, and high rotational mobility of the B12H122- anions.

We reviewed the evidence for phenotypic responses to recent climate change in fish. Changes in the timing of migration and reproduction, age at maturity, age at juvenile migration, growth, survival and fecundity were associated primarily with changes in temperature. Although these traits can evolve rapidly, only two studies attributed phenotypic changes formally to evolutionary mechanisms. The correlation-based methods most frequently employed point largely to fine-grained' population responses to environmental variability (i.e. rapid phenotypic changes relative to generation time), consistent with plastic mechanisms. Ultimately, many species will likely adapt to long-term warming trends overlaid on natural climate oscillations. Considering the strong plasticity in all traits studied, we recommend development and expanded use of methods capable of detecting evolutionary change, such as the long term study of selection coefficients and temporal shifts in reaction norms, and increased attention to forecasting adaptive change in response to the synergistic interactions of the multiple selection pressures likely to be associated with climate change.

We addressed the influence of bottom-up processes on successional assemblage shifts in salt marshes, ecosystems with strong physical gradients, and how these shifts were reflected in the trophic characteristics of benthic fauna. We tracked the temporal development of infaunal community structure and food-web interactions in a young, created salt marsh and an adjacent natural marsh in Mission Bay, California, USA (1996-2003). Macro faunal community succession in created Spartina foliosa habitats occurred rapidly, with infaunal densities reaching 70% of those in the natural marsh after 1 yr. Community composition shifted from initial dominance of insect larvae (surface-feeding microalgivores) to increased dominance of oligo chaetes (subsurface-feeding detritivores) within the first 7 yr. Isotopic labeling of microalgae, N-2-fixing cyanobacteria, S. foliosa and bacteria revealed direct links (or absence thereof) between these basal food sources and specific consumer groups. In combination with the compositional changes in the macroinvertebrate fauna, the trophic patterns indicated an increase in food-web complexity over time, reflecting resource-driven marsh succession. Natural abundance stable isotope ratios of salt marsh consumers (infaunal and epifaunal macroinvertebrates, and fish) initially reflected distinctions in trophic structure between the created and natural marsh, but these diminished during successional development. Our findings suggest that changing resource availability is one of the important drivers of succession in benthic communities of restored wetlands in Southern California.

Developing models that can incorporate both a large number of predictor variables and a multivariate response (a vector of individual species occurrences or abundances) is challenging. One promising new approach is multivariate random forests (MRF), a method that combines multivariate regression trees with bootstrap resampling and predictor subsampling from traditional random forests. Random forest models have been shown to be highly accurate and powerful in their predictive ability in a wide variety of applications. They can effectively model nonlinear and interacting variables. Our research evaluated change in estuarine assemblage composition along habitat gradients in Southeast Alaska using landscape-scale habitat variables and MRF. For 541 estuaries, we identified 24 predictor variables describing the geomorphic and habitat environment on land and in the estuary. MRF models were constructed in R software for combined fish and invertebrate assemblages. Cluster analysis of model proximities revealed strong spatial variation in community composition in relation to differences in tidal range, precipitation, percent of eelgrass, and amount of intertidal habitat. This research presents a new science-based management template that can be used to inform and assess species management and protection strategies, as well as to guide future research on species distributions.

Rockfishes Sebastes spp. do not settle to benthic habitats immediately after metamorphosis, but instead remain in the water column for weeks to months. Movements of larvae and pelagic juveniles during their months at sea are largely unknown. It is traditionally thought that young rockfishes are planktonic, moving at the mercy of ocean currents, but this assumption is unverified. In this study, swimming capabilities (critical speed) of larval and pelagic juvenile stages of 6 rockfish species (blue [S. mystinus], yellowtail [S. flavidus], brown [S. auriculatus], kelp [S. atrovirens], gopher [S. carnatus], and splitnose [S. diploproa]) were evaluated to determine their ability to behaviorally influence dispersal. Rockfish larvae have critical speeds of 0.5 to 1.8 cm s(-1) (1 to 3 body lengths per second [bl s(-1)]) at parturition, whereas newly settled juveniles are capable of swimming 8.6 to 53.5 cm s(-1) (5 to 9 bl s(-1)). Swimming ability increases throughout ontogeny and postflexion rockfishes can swim faster than typical water motions in their natural habitat (i.e. mean ocean currents off central California). Critical speeds for Sebastes spp. are substantially lower than those for larvae and juveniles of tropical species at similar body sizes. Rockfishes, however, have swimming speeds at settlement comparable to some tropical species, as rockfishes settle at larger sizes. The increasing ability of rockfishes to outswim currents during their pelagic phase (acting as nekton rather than plankton) may promote individual survival as well as enhance retention and/or long-distance dispersal-thus swimming has important implications for population connectivity and sustainability.

(2014; Mar Ecol Prog Ser 500: 281-285) comment on our application of a Bayesian isotope-mixing model (SIAR) to examine the relative contribution of prey from different regions to Dosidicus gigas diet, and point out that our model violated assumptions of D. gigas feeding. We agree in part with their position that the use of SIAR for assessing contributions of sources from different regions for an omnivorous species may be unreliable. However, the results from our study and from the prevailing literature and data indicate that the D. gigas we collected in the Northern California Current (NCC) isotopically matched the NCC baseline and were isotopically distinct from prey resources in the Southern California Current. Field et al.'s (2014) comments on the distribution and abundance of D. gigas in the NCC missed results from the primary literature which show that D. gigas and their purported prey are predominantly distributed along the shelf-slope waters of the NCC, well within the offshore extent of our study. The discrepancy of not finding myctophids as significant sources to D. gigas diet in our study may lie in the fact that our isotope values of myctophids came from adults only, and that smaller conspecifics with lower relative delta N-15 values would have shown a greater contribution from this trophic group. The conclusion we reached of lower trophic level feeding by D. gigas in our study relative to previous diet studies remains valid.

Twenty females and 13 males were surgically fitted with coded acoustic transmitters and tracked for over 3 yr by underwater acoustic receivers spanning 120 km of coastline from San Clemente, CA, USA to the USA-Mexico border, with 2 receivers positioned at known aggregation sites in La Jolla and Del Mar, CA. Whereas females appeared to be particularly attracted to the La Jolla site, males exhibited strong site fidelity to Del Mar. Shark abundance at both sites was higher during the day than at night, particularly in late afternoon when water temperature was highest. Female abundance in La Jolla was highest in late June through early December, and was strongly positively correlated with sea surface temperature, consistent with the hypothesis that females aggregate in warm water to accelerate gestation. In addition, seasonal arrival of females to and departure from La Jolla were highly synchronous and coincided with the summer and winter solstices, respectively. In contrast, male abundance in Del Mar was highest in late April through early October and was positively correlated with both sea surface temperature and photoperiod. Lastly, both sexes exhibited strong seasonal philopatry, with 50.0% of females and 60.0% of males returning every year to their respective aggregation sites during the 3 yr study period.

Based on a cooperative fisheries research program, we compared central California Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha adult food habits from spring and summer in the mid-2000s with historical records from 1955 and the 1980s. Diet diversity decreased through time, and was particularly low in May and June of the 2000s. Previously important prey, including juvenile rockfish Sebastes spp., krill Euphausiidae, Pacific herring Clupea pallesi and market squid Doryteuthis opalsecens, declined or disappeared from the diet, while Pacific sardine Sardinops sagax became very important prey in the 2000s; anchovy Engraulis mordax remained important throughout the study. Diet composition was correlated with regional mid-water trawls of prey abundance and also with local sea surface temperature (SST). Diet composition was related to the Sacramento Index of fall-run Chinook ocean abundance with a lag of 1 or 2 yr, and reflected the importance of prey availability during the second ocean year and smolt ocean-entry period, respectively. Spring is peak ocean entry for fall-run Chinook smolts, so declining prey diversity (specifically in May and June in the mid-2000s) may be related to recent population crashes. Seasonally, winter and fall diet data further demonstrated the sig nificance of temporal variation in specific prey. This study highlights the importance of marine predator-prey interactions at an appropriate temporal resolution for understanding salmonid population dynamics.

We show that surface plasmon polaritons enhance absorption most significantly in materials with small positive real permittivity and large positive imaginary permittivity, e.g. organics or CdTe. Additional losses, accounting for dissipation in the metal and the existence of a cutoff frequency above which polaritons are no longer bound, are incorporated into efficiency calculations. Owing to these losses, devices with optical absorption based solely on SPPs will necessarily always have a lower efficiency than that predicted by the ShockleyQueisser limit. Calculations are presented for specific materials, including crystalline and amorphous Si, GaAs, CdTe, a P3HT: PCBM blend, alpha-Fe2O3 and rutile TiO2, as well as for general materials of arbitrary permittivity. Guidelines for selecting absorber materials and determining whether specific materials are good candidates for improving optical absorption with SPPs are presented.

TI Nitrous oxide emissions 1999 to 2009 from a global atmospheric inversion SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID GENERAL-CIRCULATION MODEL; N2O; CO2; VARIABILITY; SOILS; PERFORMANCE; CONVECTION; REANALYSIS; LIFETIMES; HISTORY AB N2O surface fluxes were estimated for 1999 to 2009 using a time-dependent Bayesian inversion technique. Observations were drawn from 5 different networks, incorporating 59 surface sites and a number of ship-based measurement series. To avoid biases in the inverted fluxes, the data were adjusted to a common scale and scale offsets were included in the optimization problem. The fluxes were calculated at the same resolution as the transport model (3.75 degrees longitude x 2.5 degrees latitude) and at monthly time resolution. Over the 11-year period, the global total N2O source varied from 17.5 to 20.1 Tg a(-1) N. Tropical and subtropical land regions were found to consistently have the highest N2O emissions, in particular in South Asia (20 +/- 3% of global total), South America (13 +/- 4 %) and Africa (19 +/- 3 %), while emissions from temperate regions were smaller: Europe (6 +/- 1 %) and North America (7 +/- 2 %). A significant multi-annual trend in N2O emissions (0.045 Tg a(-2) N) from South Asia was found and confirms inventory estimates of this trend. Considerable interannual variability in the global N2O source was observed (0.8 Tg a(-1) N, 1 standard deviation, SD) and was largely driven by variability in tropical and subtropical soil fluxes, in particular in South America (0.3 Tg a(-1) N, 1 SD) and Africa (0.3 Tg a(-1) N, 1 SD). Notable variability was also found for N2O fluxes in the tropical and southern oceans (0.15 and 0.2 Tg a(-1) N, 1 SD, respectively). Interannual variability in the N2O source shows some correlation with the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), where El Nino conditions are associated with lower N2O fluxes from soils and from the ocean and vice versa for La Nina conditions.

TI Black carbon emissions from in-use ships: a California regional assessment SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID PARTICLE SOOT PHOTOMETER; AEROSOL MASS-SPECTROMETER; LIGHT-ABSORPTION; DIESEL-ENGINES; FUEL QUALITY; CLIMATE; SPEED; SPECTROSCOPY; SENSITIVITY; CALIBRATION AB Black carbon (BC) mass emission factors (EFBC; g BC (kg fuel)(-1)) from a variety of ocean-going vessels have been determined from measurements of BC and carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations in ship plumes intercepted by the R/V Atlantis during the 2010 California Nexus (CalNex) campaign. The ships encountered were all operating within 24 nautical miles of the California coast and were utilizing relatively low sulphur fuels (average fuel sulphur content of 0.4%, 0.09% and 0.03% for vessels operating slow-speed, medium-speed and high-speed diesel engines, respectively). Black carbon concentrations within the plumes, from which EFBC values are determined, were measured using four independent instruments: a photoacoustic spectrometer and a particle soot absorption photometer, which measure light absorption, and a single particle soot photometer and soot particle aerosol mass spectrometer, which measure the mass concentration of refractory BC directly. These measurements have been used to assess the level of agreement between these different techniques for the determination of BC emission factors from ship plumes. Also, these measurements greatly expand upon the number of individual ships for which BC emission factors have been determined during real-world operation. The measured EFBC's have been divided into vessel type categories and engine type categories, from which averages have been determined. The geometric average EFBC (excluding outliers) determined from over 71 vessels and 135 plumes encountered was 0.31 +/- 0.31 gBC (kg fuel)(-1), where the standard deviation represents the variability between individual vessels. The most frequent engine type encountered was the slow-speed diesel (SSD), and the most frequent SSD vessel type was the cargo ship sub-category. Average and median EFBC values from the SSD category are compared with previous observations from the Texas Air Quality Study (TexAQS) in 2006, during which the ships encountered were predominately operating on high-sulphur fuels (average fuel sulphur content of 1.6 %). There is a statistically significant difference between the EFBC values from CalNex and TexAQS for SSD vessels and for the cargo and tanker ship types within this engine category. The CalNex EFBC values are lower than those from TexAQS, suggesting that operation on lower sulphur fuels is associated with smaller EFBC values. C1 [Buffaloe, G. M.; Cappa, C.

TI Ice particles in the upper anvil regions of midlatitude continental thunderstorms: the case for frozen-drop aggregates SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID CLOUDS; WATER; CRYSTALS; CIRRUS; UPDRAFTS AB This study examines the occurrence and morphology of frozen-drop aggregates in thunderstorm anvils from the United States Midwest and describes the environmental conditions where they are found. In situ airborne data collected in anvils using several particle imaging and sizing probes and bulk total water instrumentation during the 2012 Deep Convective Clouds and Chemistry experiment are examined for the presence of frozen-drop aggregates. Chains of frozen drops have been only rarely reported before and are hypothesized to aggregate due to electrical forces in the clouds. They were identified in nine of the anvil cases examined to date, suggesting that they are common features in these Midwestern anvils. High concentrations of individual frozen droplets occurred on the tops and edges of one particular set of anvils, while regions closer to the center and bottom of these anvils exhibited fewer frozen drops and more frozen-drop aggregates. Bulk ice water content measurements across these anvils could only be explained by contributions from both small particles (frozen droplets) and large particles (large aggregates of frozen droplets). Dual Doppler radar analysis confirmed the presence of deep and strong (> 15ms(-1)) updrafts in the parent cloud of one of the anvils. These features contrast with previous anvil measurements in tropical/maritime anvils that evidently do not exhibit the same frequency of frozen-drop aggregates. C1 [Stith, J.

TI A review of sea-spray aerosol source functions using a large global set of sea salt aerosol concentration measurements SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID PARTICLE DISPERSION MODEL; MARINE AEROSOL; POLLUTION TRANSPORT; GENERATION FUNCTION; BREAKING WAVES; EMISSIONS; ATLANTIC; SULFATE; FLUXES; OCEAN AB Sea-spray aerosols (SSA) are an important part of the climate system because of their effects on the global radiative budget - both directly as scatterers and absorbers of solar and terrestrial radiation, and indirectly as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) influencing cloud formation, lifetime, and precipitation. In terms of their global mass, SSA have the largest uncertainty of all aerosols. In this study we review 21 SSA source functions from the literature, several of which are used in current climate models. In addition, we propose a new function. Even excluding outliers, the global annual SSA mass produced spans roughly 3-70 Pg yr(-1) for the different source functions, for particles with dry diameter D-p < 10 mu m, with relatively little interannual variability for a given function. The FLEXPART Lagrangian particle dispersion model was run in backward mode for a large global set of observed SSA concentrations, comprised of several station networks and ship cruise measurement campaigns. FLEXPART backward calculations produce gridded emission sensitivity fields, which can subsequently be multiplied with gridded SSA production fluxes in order to obtain modeled SSA concentrations. This allowed us to efficiently and simultaneously evaluate all 21 source functions against the measurements. Another advantage of this method is that source-region information on wind speed and sea surface temperatures (SSTs) could be stored and used for improving the SSA source function parameterizations. The best source functions reproduced as much as 70% of the observed SSA concentration variability at several stations, which is comparable with "state of the art" aerosol models. The main driver of SSA production is wind, and we found that the best fit to the observation data could be obtained when the SSA production is proportional to U-10(3.5), where U-10 is the source region averaged 10m wind speed. A strong influence of SST on SSA production, with higher temperatures leading to higher production, could be detected as well, although the underlying physical mechanisms of the SST influence remains unclear. Our new source function with wind speed and temperature dependence gives a global SSA production for particles smaller than D-p < 10 mu m of 9 Pg yr(-1), and is the best fit to the observed concentrations.

TI A case study into the measurement of ship emissions from plume intercepts of the NOAA ship Miller Freeman SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID AEROSOL MASS-SPECTROMETER; LIGHT-ABSORPTION MEASUREMENTS; PARTICULATE MATTER EMISSIONS; PARTICLE SOOT PHOTOMETER; BLACK CARBON; COMPREHENSIVE CHARACTERIZATION; AIRCRAFT INSTRUMENT; OPTICAL-PROPERTIES; DIESEL-ENGINES; MARINE VESSEL AB Emissions factors (EFs) for gas and sub-micron particle-phase species were measured in intercepted plumes as a function of vessel speed from an underway research vessel, the NOAA ship Miller Freeman, operating a medium-speed diesel engine on low-sulfur marine gas oil (fuel sulfur content similar to 0.1% by weight). The low-sulfur fuel in use conforms to the MARPOL fuel sulfur limit within emission control areas set to take effect in 2015 and to California-specific limits set to take effect in 2014. For many of the particle-phase species, EFs were determined using multiple measurement methodologies, allowing for an assessment of how well EFs from different techniques agree. The total sub-micron PM (PM1) was dominated by particulate black carbon (BC) and particulate organic matter (POM), with an average POM/BC ratio of 1.3. Consideration of the POM/BC ratios observed here with literature studies suggests that laboratory and in-stack measurement methods may overestimate primary POM EFs relative to those observed in emitted plumes. Comparison of four different methods for black carbon measurement indicates that careful attention must be paid to instrument limitations and biases when assessing EFBC. Particulate sulfate (SO42-) EFs were extremely small and the particles emitted by Miller Freeman were inefficient as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), even at high super saturations, consistent with the use of very low-sulfur fuel and the overall small emitted particle sizes. All measurement methodologies consistently demonstrate that the measured EFs (fuel mass basis) for PM1 mass, BC and POM decreased as the ship slowed. Particle number EFs were approximately constant across the speed change, with a shift towards smaller particles being emitted at slower speeds. Emissions factors for gas-phase CO and formaldehyde (HCHO) both increased as the vessel slowed, while EFs for NOx decreased and SO2 EFs were approximately constant. C1 [Cappa, C. D.; Buffaloe, G.

TI Sensitivities of NOx transformation and the effects on surface ozone and nitrate SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID SOUTHEASTERN UNITED-STATES; AIR-QUALITY; EMISSIONS; ATLANTA; MODEL AB As precursors to tropospheric ozone and nitrate, nitrogen oxide (NOx) in the present atmosphere and its transformation in response to emission and climate perturbations are studied by using the CAM-Chem model and air quality measurements from the National Emissions Inventory (NEI), Clean Air Status and Trends Network (CASTNET), and Environmental Protection Agency Air Quality System (EPA AQS). It is found that NOx transformations in present atmospheric conditions show different sensitivities over industrial and non-industrial regions. As a result, the surface ozone and nitrate formations can be divided into several regimes associated with the dominant emission types and relative levels of NOx and volatile organic compounds (VOC). Ozone production in industrial regions (the main NOx emission source areas) increases in warmer conditions and slightly decreases following an increase in NOx emissions due to NOx titration, which is opposite to the response in non-industrial regions. The ozone decrease following a temperature increase in non-industrial regions indicates that ozone production in regions that lack NOx emission sources may be sensitive to NOx transformation in remote source regions. The increase in NO2 from NOx titration over industrial regions results in an increase rate of total nitrate that remains higher than the increase rate of NOx emissions. The presented findings indicate that a change in the ozone concentration is more directly affected by changes in climate and precursor emissions, while a change in the nitrate concentration is affected by local ozone production types and their seasonal transfer. The sensitivity to temperature perturbations shows that a warmer climate accelerates the decomposition of odd nitrogen (NOy) during the night. As a result, the transformation rate of NOx to nitrate decreases. Examinations of the historical emissions and air quality records of a typical NOx-limited area, such as Atlanta and a VOC-limited area, such as Los Angeles further confirm the conclusions drawn from the modeling experiments.

TI Reconstruction of Northern Hemisphere 1950-2010 atmospheric non-methane hydrocarbons SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID LIQUID CRITICAL PROPERTIES; GAS-PHASE REACTIONS; FIRN AIR; OZONE FORMATION; C-2-C-6 HYDROCARBONS; C2-C5 HYDROCARBONS; HYDROXYL RADICALS; RECENT DECREASES; NITROGEN-OXIDES; CARBON-MONOXIDE AB The short-chain non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHC) are mostly emitted into the atmosphere by anthropogenic processes. Recent studies have pointed out a tight linkage between the atmospheric mole fractions of the NMHC ethane and the atmospheric growth rate of methane. Consequently, atmospheric NMHC are valuable indicators for tracking changes in anthropogenic emissions, photochemical ozone production, and greenhouse gases. This study investigates the 1950-2010 Northern Hemisphere atmospheric C-2-C-5 NMHC ethane, propane, i-butane, n-butane, i-pentane, and n-pentane by (a) reconstructing atmospheric mole fractions of these trace gases using firn air extracted from three boreholes in 2008 and 2009 at the North Greenland Eemian Ice Drilling (NEEM) site and applying state-of-the-art models of trace gas transport in firn, and by (b) considering eight years of ambient NMHC monitoring data from five Arctic sites within the NOAA Global Monitoring Division (GMD) Cooperative Air Sampling Network. Results indicate that these NMHC increased by similar to 40-120% after 1950, peaked around 1980 (with the exception of ethane, which peaked approximately 10 yr earlier), and have since dramatically decreased to be now back close to 1950 levels. The earlier peak time of ethane vs. the C-3-C-5 NMHC suggests that different processes and emissions mitigation measures contributed to the decline in these NMHC. The 60 yr record also illustrates notable increases in the ratios of the isomeric iso-/n-butane and iso-/n-pentane ratios. Comparison of the reconstructed NMHC histories with 19502000 volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions data and with other recently published ethane trend analyses from ambient air Pacific transect data showed (a) better agreement with North America and Western Europe emissions than with total Northern Hemisphere emissions data, and (b) better agreement with other Greenland firn air data NMHC history reconstructions than with the Pacific region trends. These analyses emphasize that for NMHC, having atmospheric lifetimes on the order of <2 months, the Greenland firn air records are primarily a representation of Western Europe and North America emission histories.

TI Understanding Uncertainties in Future Colorado River Streamflow SO BULLETIN OF THE AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID WESTERN UNITED-STATES; SOUTHWESTERN NORTH-AMERICA; CLIMATE-CHANGE; 21ST-CENTURY DROUGHT; MODEL PROJECTIONS; TROPICAL PACIFIC; CHANGING CLIMATE; WATER-RESOURCES; VARIABILITY; RECONSTRUCTIONS AB The Colorado River is the primary water source for more than 30 million people in the United States and Mexico. Recent studies that project streamf low changes in the Colorado River all project annual declines, but the magnitude of the projected decreases range from less than 10% to 45% by the mid-twenty-first century. To understand these differences, we address the questions the management community has raised: Why is there such a wide range of projections of impacts of future climate change on Colorado River streamflow, and how should this uncertainty be interpreted? We identify four major sources of disparities among studies that arise from both methodological and model differences. In order of importance, these are differences in 1) the global climate models (GCMs) and emission scenarios used; 2) the ability of land surface and atmospheric models to simulate properly the high-elevation runoff source areas; 3) the sensitivities of land surface hydrology models to precipitation and temperature changes; and 4) the methods used to statistically downscale GCM scenarios. In accounting for these differences, there is substantial evidence across studies that future Colorado River streamflow will be reduced under the current trajectories of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions because of a combination of strong temperature-induced runoff curtailment and reduced annual precipitation. Reconstructions of preinstrumental streamflows provide additional insights; the greatest risk to Colorado River streamf lows is a multidecadal drought, like that observed in paleoreconstructions, exacerbated by a steady reduction in flows due to climate change. This could result in decades of sustained streamflows much lower than have been observed in the ~100 years of instrumental record.

The HEFS addresses the need to quantify uncertainty in hydrologic forecasts for flood risk management, water supply management, streamflow regulation, recreation planning, and ecosystem management, among other applications. The HEFS extends the existing hydrologic ensemble services to include short-range forecasts, incorporate additional weather and climate information, and better quantify the major uncertainties in hydrologic forecasting. It provides, at forecast horizons ranging from 6 h to about a year, ensemble forecasts and verification products that can be tailored to users' needs. Based on separate modeling of the input and hydrologic uncertainties, the HEFS includes 1) the Meteorological Ensemble Forecast Processor, which ingests weather and climate forecasts from multiple numerical weather prediction models to produce bias-corrected forcing ensembles at the hydrologic basin scales; 2) the Hydrologic Processor, which inputs the forcing ensembles into hydrologic, hydraulic, and reservoir models to generate streamflow ensembles; 3) the hydrologic Ensemble Postprocessor, which aims to account for the total hydrologic uncertainty and correct for systematic biases in streamflow; 4) the Ensemble Verification Service, which verifies the forcing and streamflow ensembles to help identify the main sources of skill and error in the forecasts; and 5) the Graphics Generator, which enables forecasters to create a large array of ensemble and related products. Examples of verification results from multiyear hind-casting illustrate the expected performance and limitations of HEFS. Finally, future scientific and operational challenges to fully embrace and practice the ensemble paradigm in hydrology and water resources services are discussed.

TI Edward Epstein's Stochastic-Dynamic Approach to Ensemble Weather Prediction SO BULLETIN OF THE AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID PREDICTABILITY; UNCERTAINTY; FORECASTS; MODEL; TURBULENCE; EQUATIONS; SKILL; FLOW AB In the late 1960s, well before the availability of computer power to produce ensemble weather forecasts, Edward Epstein (1931-2008) developed a stochastic-dynamic prediction (SDP) method for calculating the temporal evolution of mean value, variance, and covariance of the model variables: the statistical moments of a time-varying probability density function that define an ensemble forecast. This statistical-dynamical approach to ensemble forecasting is an alternative to the Monte Carlo formulation that is currently used in operations. The stages of Epstein's career that led to his development of this methodology are presented with the benefit of his oral history and supporting documentation that describes the retreat of strict deterministic weather forecasting. The important follow-on research by two of Epstein's proteges, Rex Fleming and Eric Pitcher, is also presented. A low-order nonlinear dynamical system is used to discuss the rudiments of SDP and Monte Carlo and to compare these approximate methods with the exact solution found by solving Liouville's equation. Graphical results from these various methods of solution are found in the main body of the paper while mathematical development is contained in an online supplement. The paper ends with a discussion of SDP's strengths and weaknesses and its possible future as an operational and research tool in probabilistic-dynamic weather prediction.

Modeling work predicts a strengthening of the Brewer-Dobson circulation in response to increasing greenhouse gas concentrations; such a change will likely impact tropospheric climate. Because the strength of the Brewer-Dobson circulation is an unmeasureable quantity, trace gas measurements are used to infer characteristics of the circulation. At present, stratospheric trace gas measurements are sporadic in time and/or place, primarily associated with localized aircraft or balloon campaigns or relatively short-lived satellite instruments. This program would consist of regular trace gas profile measurements taken at multiple latitudes covering tropical, midlatitude, and polar regimes. The program would make use of the relatively low-cost AirCore and sonde techniques, allowing more frequent measurements given the significantly lower cost than with current techniques. The program will provide a means of monitoring changes in the strength and redistribution of the stratospheric circulation. The goals are to monitor the strength of the Brewer-Dobson circulation and to improve understanding of the reasons for stratospheric circulation changes, ultimately resulting in more realistic model predictions of climate change for the coming decades.

Negative impacts from such activities were recently documented in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM), where the Deepwater Horizon oil spill caused substantial damage to a deep-water octocoral community. Although a faunal checklist and numerous museum records are currently available for the entire GoM, local-scale diversity and assemblage structure of octocoral communities remains unknown, particularly in deep water. On a series of recent cruises (2008-2011) using remotely operated vehicles, 435 octocorals were collected from 33 deep-water sites (250-2500 m) in the northern GoM. To elucidate species boundaries, the extended mitochondrial barcode (COI+igr1+msh) was successfully amplified and sequenced for 422 of these specimens, yielding a total of 64 haplotypes representing at least 52 species. Further, at least 29% of the species collected were either previously not known to occur in the GoM (12 species) or represent new species (at least three species). Overall, species richness at each site was fairly low (1-12 spp.). The greatest species richness occurred at the shallowest ( <325 m: GC140, n=8 spp.) and the deepest (2100 2500 m: DC673, n=12 spp., DC583, n=10 spp.) sites, and minimum taxonomic and phylogenetic (Faith's Index) diversity was evident at 600-950 m. This pattern is the opposite of the typical pattern of deep-sea diversity in the GoM, which normally peaks at mid-slope depths. Sorensen's Index of taxonomic beta-diversity indicated that six distinct (65-95% dissimilarity) species assemblages corresponded with five depth breaks at similar to 325, 425, 600, 1100, and 2100 m. Further assemblage structure was observed within certain depth zones. Of note, within the 425-600 m depth range, species assemblages at the West Florida Slope differed from the other sites, corresponding to an established biogeographic barrier. The phylogenetic approach used in this study provided important insights into the species boundaries of many taxa while demonstrating that evolutionary history plays a critical role in community structure of deep-sea octocorals.

This study examines the usefulness of using a set of seven ocean reanalysis and synthesis products in studies of sea level variability by comparing the tide gauges and reanalysis products at a representative set of 87 tide gauge station locations. The comparison is carried out for both a half-century base period and a century long-extended period. Treating the set of products as an ensemble of realizations obtained using different techniques, the results show generally good agreement for the half-century period with ensemble average correlations of 0.57 and RMS differences of 2.2 cm, reducing to a correlation of 0.5 for the extended period. A significant fraction of the difference between tide gauge sea level and product sea level is associated with meteorological forcing. These results support the conclusion that much of the interannual to multidecadal variability that appears in the tide gauge records is meteorologically driven. This suggests that ocean products have potential to be used to isolate this variability from the signal associated with the underlying global sea level rise. Key Points Reanalysis/synthesis and tide gauge sea level are consistent during 1950-2011 The comparison during the century-long extended period is nearly as good Comparison among reanalysis/synthesis sea level products show similar results C1 [Chepurin, Gennady A.; Carton, James A.] Univ Maryland, Dept Atmospher & Ocean Sci, College Pk, MD 20742 USA.

During La Nina the pattern of the iceberg concentration anomalies in these regions reverses. This iceberg redistribution is explained by anomalous winds and currents around an extensive positive atmospheric pressure anomaly that typically develops in the South-East Pacific during the warm El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phase. In this study, the results of iceberg observations during two cruises of the r/v Akademik Fedorov in Antarctica in January-February 2008 (La Nina) and 2010 (El Nino) have been used to examine the consistency of changes in the iceberg distribution in the Southern Ocean related to El Nino events. The analysis of these observations has shown that in the Pacific Sector of Antarctica changes in the iceberg distribution between 2008 and 2010 followed the scenario outlined above and thus could be associated with the ENSO phase change. Contrary to earlier observations, the iceberg concentration in the Atlantic sector of Antarctica did not increase during 2010 El Nino. The latter is explained by a noncanonical type of 2010 El Nino, El Nino Modoki, and associated atmospheric circulation pattern different from the canonical El Nino. Further analysis has shown that a more frequent occurrence of El Nino Modoki in recent years have resulted in weaker links between El Nino events and the Antarctic iceberg distribution. Key Points Canonical El Nino substantially affects the Antarctic iceberg distribution The effect of the new type of El-Nino-El-Nino Modoki on the iceberg distribution is less distinct than the one of the canonical El Nino C1 [Romanov, Yury A.; Romanova, Nina A.] Russian Acad Sci, PP Shirshov Inst Oceanol, Moscow, Russia.

These obligations increase the need for improved understanding of the distribution and abundance of VSCHEs to develop management actions. Data from low speed vehicles that operate at the seafloor (e.g. remotely operated vehicles camera sleds) predominate, These "low and slow approaches while providing high-resolution data do not operate at the scale required for management. We suggest autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) flown at relatively high altitude and high speed over the seafloor as a high and fast approach to survey areas at the scale fisheries and other activities operate. We used REMUS 6000 AUVs to collect presence data for VSCHEs in a rapid assessment on Physalia Seamount AUVs were programmed to collect digital images side-scan sonar (120.410 kHz); and environmental parameters and could navigate a 40 degrees slope. Our preliminary results of this approach predicated on the assumption that coarse taxonomic resolution is adequate for management needs indicates AUVs can be effective tools for large area surveys in short time periods.

The AMOC and its component parts are monitored by combining a transatlantic array of moored instruments with submarine-cable-based measurements of the Gulf Stream and satellite derived Ekman transport. The time series has recently been extended to October 2012 and the results show a downward trend since 2004. From April 2008 to March 2012, the AMOC was an average of 2.7 Sv (1 Sv = 10(6) m(3) s(-1)) weaker than in the first four years of observation (95% confidence that the reduction is 0.3 Sv or more). Ekman transport reduced by about 0.2 Sv and the Gulf Stream by 0.5 Sv but most of the change (2.0 Sv) is due to the mid-ocean geostrophic flow. The change of the mid-ocean geostrophic flow represents a strengthening of the southward flow above the thermocline. The increased southward flow of warm waters is balanced by a decrease in the southward flow of lower North Atlantic deep water below 3000 m. The transport of lower North Atlantic deep water slowed by 7% per year (95% confidence that the rate of slowing is greater than 2.5% per year). C1 [Smeed, D. A.; McCarthy, G. D.; Rayner, D.; Moat, B.

Energy levels and recommended labels involving exact and approximate quantum numbers for the main isotopologues of water in the gas phase, (H2O)-O-16, (H2O)-O-18, (H2O)-O-17, (HDO)-O-16, (HDO)-O-18, (HDO)-O-17, (D2O)-O-16, (D2O)-O-18, and (D2O)-O-17, are determined from measured transition frequencies. The transition frequencies and energy levels are validated using first-principles nuclear motion computations and the MARVEL (measured active rotational-vibrational energy levels) approach. The extensive data including lines and levels are required for analysis and synthesis of spectra, thermochemical applications, the construction of theoretical models, and the removal of spectral contamination by ubiquitous water lines. These datasets can also be used to assess where measurements are lacking for each isotopologue and to provide accurate frequencies for many yet-to-be measured transitions. The lack of high-quality frequency calibration standards in the near infrared is identified as an issue that has hindered the determination of high-accuracy energy levels at higher frequencies. The generation of spectra using the MARVEL energy levels combined with transition intensities computed using high accuracy ab initio dipole moment surfaces are discussed. A recommendation of the TG is for further work to identify a single, suitable model to represent pressure-(and temperature-) dependent line profiles more accurately than Voigt profiles.

PNIPAAM bottlebrush polymers with controlled side-chain length and side-chain end-group structure are prepared using a "grafting-through" technique. Due to reduced flexibility of bottlebrush polymer side-chains, side-chain end-groups have a disproportionate effect on bottlebrush polymer solubility and phase behaviour. Bottlebrush polymers with a hydrophobic end-group have poor water solubilities and depressed LCSTs, whereas bottlebrush polymers with thiol-terminated side-chains are fully water-soluble and exhibit an LCST greater than that of PNIPAAM homopolymers. The temperature-dependent solution conformation of PNIPAAM bottlebrush polymers in D2O is analyzed by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS), and data analysis using the Guinier-Porod model shows that the bottlebrush polymer radius decreases as the temperature increases towards the LCST for PNIPAAM bottlebrush polymers with relatively long 9 kg mol(-1) side-chains. Above the LCST, PNIPAAM bottlebrush polymers can form a lyotropic liquid crystal phase in water. Interfacial tension measurements show that bottlebrush polymers reduce the interfacial tension between chloroform and water to levels comparable to PNIPAAM homopolymers without the formation of microemulsions, suggesting that bottlebrush polymers are unable to stabilize highly curved interfaces. These results demonstrate that bottlebrush polymer side-chain length and flexibility impact phase behavior, solubility, and interfacial properties.

TI Phylogeography unplugged: comparative surveys in the genomic era SO BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID CORAL-REEF FISHES; POPULATION GENETIC-STRUCTURE; INDO-WEST PACIFIC; PELAGIC LARVAL DURATION; GREAT-BARRIER-REEF; HIGH-DISPERSAL STARFISH; LIMPETS CELLANA SPP.; OF-THORNS STARFISH; MARINE BIODIVERSITY; MITOCHONDRIAL-DNA AB In March 2012, the authors met at the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center (NESCent) in Durham, North Carolina, USA, to discuss approaches and cooperative ventures in Indo-Pacific phylogeography. The group emerged with a series of findings: (1) Marine population structure is complex, but single locus mtDNA studies continue to provide powerful first assessment of phylogeographic patterns. (2) These patterns gain greater significance/power when resolved in a diversity of taxa. New analytical tools are emerging to address these analyses with multi-taxon approaches. (3) Genome-wide analyses are warranted if selection is indicated by surveys of standard markers. Such indicators can include discordance between genetic loci, or between genetic loci and morphology. Phylogeographic information provides a valuable context for studies of selection and adaptation. (4) Phylogeographic inferences are greatly enhanced by an understanding of the biology and ecology of study organisms. (5) Thorough, range-wide sampling of taxa is the foundation for robust phylogeographic inference. (6) Congruent geographic and taxonomic sampling by the Indo-Pacific community of scientists would facilitate better comparative analyses. The group concluded that at this stage of technology and software development, judicious rather than wholesale application of genomics appears to be the most robust course for marine phylogeographic studies. Therefore, our group intends to affirm the value of traditional ("unplugged") approaches, such as those based on mtDNA sequencing and microsatellites, along with essential field studies, in an era with increasing emphasis on genomic approaches.

While this pattern of biodiversity has been known to biogeographers for centuries, causal mechanisms remain enigmatic. Over the past 20 yrs, genetic markers have been employed by many researchers as a tool to elucidate patterns of biodiversity above and below the species level, as well as to make inferences about the underlying processes of diversification, demographic history, and dispersal. In a quantitative, comparative framework, these data can be synthesized to address questions about this bewildering diversity by treating species as "replicates." However, the sheer size of the Indo-Pacific region means that the geographic and genetic scope of many species' data sets are not complementary. Here, we describe data sets from 116 Indo-Pacific species (108 studies). With a mind to future synthetic investigations, we consider the strengths and omissions of currently published population genetic data for marine fauna of the Indo-Pacific region, as well as the geographic and taxonomic scope of the data, and suggest some ways forward for data collection and collation.

Although evolutionary processes underpin extant patterns of biodiversity, it is uncommon for resource managers to explicitly consider genetic data in conservation prioritization. Genetic information is inherently relevant to management because it describes genetic diversity, population connectedness, and evolutionary history; thereby typifying their behavioral traits, physiological climate tolerance, evolutionary potential, and dispersal ability. Incorporating genetic information into spatial conservation prioritization starts with reconciling the terminology and techniques used in genetics and conservation science. Genetic data vary widely in analyses and their interpretations can be challenging even for experienced geneticists. Therefore, identifying objectives, decision rules, and implementations in decision support tools specifically for management using genetic data is challenging. Here, we outline a framework for eight genetic system characteristics, their measurement, and how they could be incorporated in spatial conservation prioritization for two contrasting objectives: biodiversity preservation vs maintaining ecological function and sustainable use. We illustrate this framework with an example using data from Tridacna crocea (Lamarck, 1819) (boring giant clam) in the Coral Triangle. We find that many reefs highlighted as conservation priorities with genetic data based on genetic subregions, genetic diversity, genetic distinctness, and connectivity are not prioritized using standard practices. Moreover, different characteristics calculated from the same samples resulted in different spatial conservation priorities. Our results highlight that omitting genetic information from conservation decisions may fail to adequately represent processes regulating biodiversity, but that conservation objectives related to the choice of genetic system characteristics require careful consideration.

TI Advancing biodiversity research in developing countries: the need for changing paradigms SO BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID BRAZILIAN ATLANTIC FOREST; 6TH MASS EXTINCTION; CONSERVATION PRIORITIES; SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT; NATURAL-PRODUCTS; CORAL TRIANGLE; SCIENCE; DIVERSITY; INDIA; PHILIPPINES AB The world is in the midst of a biodiversity crisis, threatening essential goods and services on which humanity depends. While there is an urgent need globally for biodiversity research, growing obstacles are severely limiting biodiversity research throughout the developing world, particularly in Southeast Asia. Facilities, funding, and expertise are often limited throughout this region, reducing the capacity for local biodiversity research. Although western scientists generally have more expertise and capacity, international research has sometimes been exploitative "parachute science," creating a culture of suspicion and mistrust. These issues, combined with misplaced fears of biopiracy, have resulted in severe roadblocks to biodiversity research in the very countries that need it the most. Here, we present an overview of challenges to biodiversity research and case studies that provide productive models for advancing biodiversity research in developing countries. Key to success is integration of research and education, a model that fosters sustained collaboration by focusing on the process of conducting biodiversity research as well as research results. This model simultaneously expands biodiversity research capacity while building trust across national borders. It is critical that developing countries enact policies that protect their biodiversity capital without shutting down international and local biodiversity research that is essential to achieve the long-term sustainability of biodiversity, promoting food security and economic development.

Panulirus marginatus (Quoy and Gaimard, 1825) is endemic to Hawaii, and experienced a short, intense fishery in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI) and long-term, less intense exploitation in the Main Hawaiian Islands (MHI). Populations show significant overall structure (F-ST = 0.0037, P = 0.007; D-est_Chao = 0.137), with regional differentiation (F-CT = 0.002, P = 0.047) between the MHI and the NWHI. Haplotype diversity did not differ significantly between regions (F-2,F- 8 = 3.740, P = 0.071); however, nucleotide diversity is significantly higher at the primary NWHI fishery banks (0.030) than in the MHI (0.026, Tukey's P = 0.013). In contrast, Panulirus penicillatus (Olivier, 1791), found across the tropical Indo-West Pacific region, was not targeted by the NWHI fishery, but has experienced long-term exploitation in the MHI. Panulirus penicillatus has no significant overall population structure in Hawaii (F-ST = 0.0083, P = 0.063; D-est_Chao = 0.278), although regional differentiation (F-CT = 0.0076, P = 0.0083) between the MHI and the NHWI is significant. Neither haplotype nor nucleotide diversity differed significantly between regions for P. penicillatus. While neither species has suffered a loss of genetic diversity from fishing, our results highlight that only by incorporating knowledge of fishing history with genetic connectivity data can we understand the most beneficial management strategy for each species. Neither exemplar species nor specific suites of traits are reliable predictors of the spatial scales of management.

TI Basin isolation and oceanographic features influencing lineage divergence in the humbug damselfish (Dascyllus aruanus) in the Coral Triangle SO BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID POPULATION GENETIC-STRUCTURE; COMPARATIVE PHYLOGEOGRAPHY; REEF FISH; MARINE SPECIATION; LARVAL DURATION; PATTERNS; PACIFIC; HISTORY; DISTANCE; SEA AB The Coral Triangle is a hotspot for marine species diversity as well as for intraspecific genetic diversity. Here, we used nuclear RAG2 and mitochondrial D-Loop genes to identify deep genetic divergence among Dascyllus aruanus (Linnaeus, 1758) populations across relatively short scales within the Coral Triangle. Mitochondrial clades different by >20 mutational steps were completely isolated from one another across the distance between Java and the Lesser Sunda Islands, and also showed frequency differences in the eastern and western Philippines. Evidence for population structure in the Sulu Sea and at the Lesser Sunda Islands was also identified. Our results suggest that the Sulu Sea Throughflow, Bohol Sea Throughflow, Indonesian Throughflow, signatures of extinction events from Pleistocene land barriers, and other past and present forces may be potential factors leading to lineage divergence of D. aruanus, and that these hypotheses should be tested in further studies.

TI A Calcium Prerinse Required to Form Calcium Fluoride in Plaque from a Sodium Fluoride Rinse SO CARIES RESEARCH LA English DT Article DE Calcium; Calcium fluoride; Fluoride; Plaque; Rinse ID CONTAINING CHEWING GUM; SALIVARY FLUORIDE; PRE-RINSE; SUCROSE CHALLENGE; CARIES PREVENTION; BINDING; INHIBITION; DENTIFRICE; PROTEINS AB The purpose of this study is to determine whether a calcium (Ca) prerinse used before a 228 mu g/g (ppm) fluoride (F) rinse would induce the formation of 'calcium fluoride-like' (CaF2-like) deposits in human dental plaque. Sixty minutes after the use of the Ca prerinse/F rinse, plaque samples were collected from 10 volunteers, homogenized, and split into 2 aliquots. The plaque mass from one aliquot was then extracted with a 'plaque-like' solution that extracted all the CaF2-like deposits. The total F in both aliquots was then determined and compared. The results demonstrated that, as in previous studies, the Ca prerinse induced large increases in plaque fluid and total plaque F. However, unlike previous results without the Ca prerinse, 30% of the plaque F deposits were CaF2 or CaF2-like. Given that maintaining an elevated F concentration in the vicinity of a developing lesion may play an important role in the cariostatic effect of this ion, and the potential advantages of CaF2-like deposits as an F source, these results suggest that a Ca prerinse may increase the cariostatic effect of topical agents.

Herein, we correlate the silver ion (Ag+) release and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation rates for AgNPs of varying functionalization to their net disinfection coefficient on Escherichia coli, under conditions of differing water chemistries. For electrostatically stabilized citrate-capped AgNPs, the rate of ROS generation, as measured using a fluorescent dye, is found to dominate over that of Ag+ release, especially for smaller sized AgNP suspensions (similar to 10 nm) at low pH (similar to 6.2). For these AgNPs, the ROS disinfection mechanism is confirmed to dominate net disinfection action, as measured by the live/dead assay, especially at low levels of organic matter. Steric stabilization of AgNPs by protein or starch-capped layers enables disinfection through reducing AgNP aggregation and promoting silver dissolution over ROS generation. We suggest the involvement of protons and dissolved oxygen in causing the independent formation of Ag+ and ROS, regardless of the AgNP capping layer. While protein-capping layers effectively stabilize AgNPs, the generated ROS is likely dissipated by interference with the bulky capping layer, whereas the interference is lower with citrate-capping layers. Steric stabilization of AgNPs enables disinfection within a wide range of water chemistries, whereas effective disinfection can occur under electrostatic stabilization, only at low NaCl (<1 mmol/L) and organic matter (<5 mg/L) levels.

For both process monitoring and research applications, accurate determination of absorptivity is often necessary for quantitative work. In this study, we measure reference spectra for vapor-phase tetrakis(dimethylamido)titanium (TDMAT), an organometallic precursor commonly used for both CVD and ALD. The gas cell is heated over the temperature range of (352 to 476) K. We take steps to correct for sample emission, which otherwise is found to cause errors. Systematic changes are observed as the temperature is varied, but integrated absorbance is insensitive to temperature. The implications for infrared-based process measurements are discussed. In the course of this work, we do not observe rapid thermal decomposition of TDMAT at 476 K, which had been reported elsewhere in the literature. (C) 2014 The Electrochemical Society.

The structure was fabricated using wood studs and oriented strand board (OSB). The entire structure was placed inside the Building Research Institute's (BRI) Fire Research Wind Tunnel Facility (FRWTF) in Japan to apply a wind field of 6 m/s onto the structure. As the structure burned, firebrands were collected using an array of water pans. The size and mass distributions of firebrands collected in this study were compared with sparsely available firebrand generation data from actual full-scale structure burns, individual building component tests, and historical structure fire firebrand generation studies. In this experiment, more than 90% of firebrands were less than 1 g and 56% were less than 0.1 g. It was found that size and mass of firebrands collected in this study were similar to the literature studies, yet differences existed as well. Different experimental conditions, as well as varied firebrand collection strategies, were believed to be responsible for the differences in firebrand size and mass measured in the present work, and those in the literature. The present study has provided much needed data on firebrand generation from structures. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

TI A probabilistic approach for the analysis of evacuation movement data SO FIRE SAFETY JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE Pedestrian movement; probabilistic approach; Stair evacuation; Effective width; Conditional probabilities; Evacuation modelling ID HUMAN-BEHAVIOR; MODEL; SPEED AB This paper presents a probabilistic approach to analyse evacuation movement data. The approach relies on a detailed video analysis of people movement and pattern reconstruction. Conditional probabilities for travel path trajectories, walking speeds, and physical area occupied on stair landings are calculated for the evacuee population. The approach has been applied as a case study using data from an evacuation drill performed in a six-storey office building in the United States. The evacuation drill was filmed and occupant's behaviours on stairs were analysed using the new method. A comparison with the deterministic methods currently employed in engineering practice has been performed. The benefits of the probabilistic approach are discussed, including (1) a more accurate representation of people movement and (2) the use of probabilistic data for modelling purposes, i.e., model validation and model development.

The package can import geographic information systems data or simulate new data as a 'SpatialStreamNetwork', a new object class that builds on the spatial sp classes. Functions are provided that fit spatial linear models (SLMs) for the 'SpatialStreamNetwork' object. The covariance matrix of the SLMs use distance metrics and geostatistical models that are unique to stream networks; these models account for the distances and topological configuration of stream networks, including the volume and direction of flowing water. In addition, traditional models that use Euclidean distance and simple random effects are included, along with Poisson and binomial families, for a generalized linear mixed model framework. Plotting and diagnostic functions are provided. Prediction (kriging) can be performed for missing data or for a separate set of unobserved locations, or block prediction (block kriging) can be used over sets of stream segments. This article summarizes the SSN package for importing, simulating, and modeling of stream network data, including diagnostics and prediction. C1 [Hoef, Jay M.

Algal toxins themselves may be altered by water chemistry parameters affecting their bioavailability and resultant toxicity. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of two abiotic parameters (pH, inorganic metal salts) on the toxicity of fatty acid amides and fatty acids, two classes of lipids produced by harmful algae, including the golden alga, Prymnesium parvum, that are toxic to aquatic organisms. Rainbow trout gill cells were used as a model of the fish gill and exposed to single compounds and mixtures of compounds along with variations in pH level and concentration of inorganic metal salts. We employed artificial neural networks (ANNs) and standard ANOVA statistical analysis to examine and predict the effects of these abiotic parameters on the toxicity of fatty acid amides and fatty acids. Our results demonstrate that increasing pH levels increases the toxicity of fatty acid amides and inhibits the toxicity of fatty acids. This phenomenon is reversed at lower pH levels. Exposing gill cells to complex mixtures of chemical factors resulted in dramatic increases in toxicity compared to tests of single compounds for both the fatty acid amides and fatty acids. These findings highlight the potential of physicochemical factors to affect the toxicity of chemicals released during algal blooms and demonstrate drastic differences in the effect of pH on fatty acid amides and fatty acids.

TI Elevated temperatures increase the toxicity of pesticide mixtures to juvenile coho salmon SO AQUATIC TOXICOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Salmon; Pesticides; Organophosphate; Acetylcholinesterase; Carboxylesterase; Temperature ID ACETYLCHOLINESTERASE INHIBITION; BEHAVIORAL IMPAIRMENT; RISK-ASSESSMENT; RAINBOW-TROUT; INSECTICIDES; ORGANOPHOSPHATE; CHLORPYRIFOS; RESTORATION; TOXICOLOGY; CARBARYL AB Pesticide mixtures and elevated temperatures are parallel freshwater habitat stressors for Pacific salmon in the western United States. Certain combinations of organophosphate (OP) insecticides are known to synergistically increase neurotoxicity in juvenile salmon. The chemicals interact to potentiate the inhibition of brain acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and disrupt swimming behavior. The metabolic activation and detoxification of OPs involve temperature-sensitive enzymatic processes. Salmon are ectothermic, and thus the degree of synergism may vary with ambient temperature in streams, rivers, and lakes. Here we assess the influence of water temperature (12-21 degrees C) on the toxicity of ethoprop and malathion, alone and in combination, to juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch). A mixture of ethoprop (0.9 mu g/L) and malathion (0.75 mu g/L.) produced synergistic AChE inhibition at 12 degrees C, and the degree of neurotoxicity approximately doubled with a modest temperature increase to 18 degrees C. Slightly lower concentrations of ethoprop (0.5 mu g/L) combined with malathion (0.4 mu g/L) did not inhibit brain AChE activity but did produce a temperature-dependent reduction in liver carboxylesterase (CaE). The activity of CaE was very sensitive to the inhibitory effects of ethoprop alone and both ethoprop-malathion combinations across all temperatures. Our findings are an example of how non-chemical habitat attributes can increase the relative toxicity of OP mixtures. Surface temperatures currently exceed water quality criteria in many western river segments, and summer thermal extremes are expected to become more frequent in a changing climate. These trends reinforce the importance of pollution reduction strategies to enhance ongoing salmon conservation and recovery efforts. Published by Elsevier B.V.

TI Calcium carbonate corrosivity in an Alaskan inland sea SO BIOGEOSCIENCES LA English DT Article ID PRINCE-WILLIAM-SOUND; OCEAN ACIDIFICATION; TIDEWATER GLACIER; INORGANIC CARBON; CO2; SURFACE; WATER; VARIABILITY; SATURATION; MELTWATER AB Ocean acidification is the hydrogen ion increase caused by the oceanic uptake of anthropogenic CO2, and is a focal point in marine biogeochemistry, in part, because this chemical reaction reduces calcium carbonate (CaCO3) saturation states (Omega) to levels that are corrosive (i.e., Omega <= 1) to shell-forming marine organisms. However, other processes can drive CaCO3 corrosivity; specifically, the addition of tidewater glacial melt. Carbonate system data collected in May and September from 2009 through 2012 in Prince William Sound (PWS), a semienclosed inland sea located on the south-central coast of Alaska and ringed with fjords containing tidewater glaciers, reveal the unique impact of glacial melt on CaCO3 corrosivity. Initial limited sampling was expanded in September 2011 to span large portions of the western and central sound, and included two fjords proximal to tidewater glaciers: Icy Bay and Columbia Bay. The observed conditions in these fjords affected CaCO3 corrosivity in the upper water column (< 50 m) in PWS in two ways: (1) as spring-time formation sites of mode water with near-corrosive Omega levels seen below the mixed layer over a portion of the sound, and (2) as point sources for surface plumes of glacial melt with corrosive Omega levels (Omega for aragonite and calcite down to 0.60 and 1.02, respectively) and carbon dioxide partial pressures (pCO(2)) well below atmospheric levels. CaCO3 corrosivity in glacial melt plumes is poorly reflected by pCO(2) or pH(T), indicating that either one of these carbonate parameters alone would fail to track Omega in PWS. The unique Omega and pCO(2) conditions in the glacial melt plumes enhances atmospheric CO2 uptake, which, if not offset by mixing or primary productivity, would rapidly exacerbate CaCO3 corrosivity in a positive feedback. The cumulative effects of glacial melt and air-sea gas exchange are likely responsible for the seasonal reduction of Omega in PWS, making PWS highly sensitive to increasing atmospheric CO2 and amplified CaCO3 corrosivity.

TI Sensitivity of composite floor system response at elevated temperatures to structural features SO ENGINEERING STRUCTURES LA English DT Article DE Composite floor system; Structural-fire response; Connections; Buckling; Structural failure ID FIRE; CONNECTIONS; BEHAVIOR AB The sensitivity of composite floor system response at elevated temperatures to variations in structural features is examined in a sensitivity study based on a 2(4) factorial design. Four structural features were varied between two values, based on the NIST investigation of the WTC 7 collapse. The effects of the four parameters, as well as their interaction effects, are evaluated relative to time to onset of damage and time to failure for the structural features. Structural features that affected the response were ranked according to their influence. Of the four structural features varied in the analyses, floor beam length and connection type most influenced the structural response of the floor system, sometimes changing the time to damage onset or failure by more than 0.5 h. The presence or absence of girder studs and one- or two-sided girder framing influenced the structural response to a lesser extent. Interaction effects were apparent in the structural response, indicating that the structural features cannot be evaluated independently when considering the response of a composite floor system to fire effects. The findings suggest that a broader view of the impact of heating and cooling phases of fire types (standard fires, compartment fires, and traveling fires) that are used for evaluating the performance of composite floor systems needs to be considered, particularly with regards to floor lengths, connection types, and restraint of thermal expansion.

However, research on security metrics has been hindered by difficulties in handling zero-day attacks exploiting unknown vulnerabilities. In fact, the security risk of unknown vulnerabilities has been considered as something unmeasurable due to the less predictable nature of software flaws. This causes a major difficulty to security metrics, because a more secure configuration would be of little value if it were equally susceptible to zero-day attacks. In this paper, we propose a novel security metric, k-zero day safety, to address this issue. Instead of attempting to rank unknown vulnerabilities, our metric counts how many such vulnerabilities would be required for compromising network assets; a larger count implies more security because the likelihood of having more unknown vulnerabilities available, applicable, and exploitable all at the same time will be significantly lower. We formally define the metric, analyze the complexity of computing the metric, devise heuristic algorithms for intractable cases, and finally demonstrate through case studies that applying the metric to existing network security practices may generate actionable knowledge.

The key results from these competitions are reviewed. To analyze performance across studies, the cross-modal performance analysis (CMPA) framework is introduced. The CMPA framework is applied to experiments that were part of face a recognition competition. The analysis shows that for matching frontal faces in still images, algorithms are consistently superior to humans. For video and difficult still face pairs, humans are superior. Finally, based on the CMPA framework and a face performance index, we outline a challenge problem for developing algorithms that are superior to humans for the general face recognition problem.

The PBE allows for species mole change due to pyrolysis and bubbling mass loss. Efficient solution is achieved by lumping non-volatile species into a single, notional "polymer" species. Thermodynamic properties are calculated by group additivity techniques, and empirical corrections are made to account for the changes in specific heat capacity and enthalpy upon mixing. Simulation results for high-density polyethylene (HDPE) are compared to literature data for DSC at heating rates of 5, 10, and 20 K/min. The model predicts peak energy absorption rates to within 4% at the lowest heating rate. The heat of decomposition was found to be within 17% of literature values at all three heating rates. The predicted pyrolysis gas species distribution agrees well with literature gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) data. Published by Elsevier B.V. C1 [Bruns, M.

TI Quantum computing on encrypted data SO NATURE COMMUNICATIONS LA English DT Article ID ACTIVE FEEDFORWARD; COMPUTATION; GATE AB The ability to perform computations on encrypted data is a powerful tool for protecting privacy. Recently, protocols to achieve this on classical computing systems have been found. Here, we present an efficient solution to the quantum analogue of this problem that enables arbitrary quantum computations to be carried out on encrypted quantum data. We prove that an untrusted server can implement a universal set of quantum gates on encrypted quantum bits (qubits) without learning any information about the inputs, while the client, knowing the decryption key, can easily decrypt the results of the computation. We experimentally demonstrate, using single photons and linear optics, the encryption and decryption scheme on a set of gates sufficient for arbitrary quantum computations. As our protocol requires few extra resources compared with other schemes it can be easily incorporated into the design of future quantum servers. These results will play a key role in enabling the development of secure distributed quantum systems. C1 [Fisher, K. A. G.; Broadbent, A.; Shalm, L.

TI Optimally focused cold atom systems obtained using density-density correlations SO REVIEW OF SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS LA English DT Article ID BOSE-EINSTEIN CONDENSATION; MOTT INSULATOR; ULTRACOLD ATOMS; GAS; PROPAGATION; TRANSITION; SUPERFLUID; CLOUDS AB Resonant absorption imaging is a common technique for detecting the two-dimensional column density of ultracold atom systems. In many cases, the system's thickness along the imaging direction greatly exceeds the imaging system's depth of field, making the identification of the optimally focused configuration difficult. Here we describe a systematic technique for bringing Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) and other cold-atom systems into an optimal focus even when the ratio of the thickness to the depth of field is large: a factor of 8 in this demonstration with a BEC. This technique relies on defocus-induced artifacts in the Fourier-transformed density-density correlation function (the power spectral density, PSD). The spatial frequency at which these artifacts first appear in the PSD is maximized on focus; the focusing process therefore both identifies and maximizes the range of spatial frequencies over which the PSD is uncontaminated by finite-thickness effects.

Here we review current knowledge about how the climate drives host-pathogen interactions and infectious disease outbreaks. Climate-related impacts on marine diseases are being documented in corals, shellfish, finfish, and humans; these impacts are less clearly linked for other organisms. Oceans and people are inextricably linked, and marine diseases can both directly and indirectly affect human health, livelihoods, and well-being. We recommend an adaptive management approach to better increase the resilience of ocean systems vulnerable to marine diseases in a changing climate. Land-based management methods of quarantining, culling, and vaccinating are not successful in the ocean; therefore, forecasting conditions that lead to outbreaks and designing tools/approaches to influence these conditions may be the best way to manage marine disease.

Here we simulate the air quality and radiative forcing (RF) impacts of changes in ozone, methane, and sulfate from halving anthropogenic NMVOC emissions globally and from 10 regions individually, using a global chemical transport model and a standalone radiative transfer model. Halving global NMVOC emissions decreases global annual average tropospheric methane and ozone by 36.6 ppbv and 3.3 Tg, respectively, and surface ozone by 0.67 ppbv. All regional reductions slow the production of peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN), resulting in regional to intercontinental PAN decreases and regional NOx increases. These NOx increases drive tropospheric ozone increases nearby or downwind of source regions in the Southern Hemisphere (South America, Southeast Asia, Africa, and Australia). Some regions' NMVOC emissions contribute importantly to air pollution in other regions, such as East Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, whose impact on US surface ozone is 43%, 34 %, and 34%of North America's impact. Global and regional NMVOC reductions produce widespread negative net RFs (cooling) across both hemispheres from tropospheric ozone and methane decreases, and regional warming and cooling from changes in tropospheric ozone and sulfate (via several oxidation pathways). The 100 yr and 20 yr global warming potentials (GWP(100), GWP(20)) are 2.36 and 5.83 for the global reduction, and 0.079 to 6.05 and -1.13 to 18.9 among the 10 regions. The NMVOC RF and GWP estimates are generally lower than previously modeled estimates, due to the greater NMVOC/NOx emissions ratios simulated, which result in less sensitivity to NMVOC emissions changes and smaller global O-3 burden responses, in addition to differences in the representation of NMVOCs and oxidation chemistry among models. Accounting for a fuller set of RF contributions may change the relative magnitude of each region's impacts. The large variability in the RF and GWP of NMVOCs among regions suggest that regionally specific metrics may be necessary to include NMVOCs in multi-gas climate trading schemes. C1 [Fry, M.

TI On the consistency between global and regional methane emissions inferred from SCIAMACHY, TANSO-FTS, IASI and surface measurements SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID ATMOSPHERIC METHANE; DATA ASSIMILATION; CO2 SOURCES; VARIABILITY; TRANSPORT; MODEL; SINKS; INVERSION; HYDROXYL; SPACE AB Satellite retrievals of methane weighted atmospheric columns are assimilated within a Bayesian inversion system to infer the global and regional methane emissions and sinks for the period August 2009 to July 2010. Inversions are independently computed from three different space-borne observing systems and one surface observing system under several hypotheses for prior-flux and observation errors. Posterior methane emissions are compared and evaluated against surface mole fraction observations via a chemistry-transport model. Apart from SCIAMACHY (SCanning Imaging Absorption spectroMeter for Atmospheric CartograpHY), the simulations agree fairly well with the surface mole fractions. The most consistent configurations of this study using TANSO-FTS (Thermal And Near infrared Sensor for carbon Observation - Fourier Transform Spectrometer), IASI (Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer) or surface measurements induce posterior methane global emissions of, respectively, 565 +/- 21 Tg yr(-1), 549 +/- 36 Tg yr(-1) and 538 +/- 15 Tg yr(-1) over the one-year period August 2009-July 2010. This consistency between the satellite retrievals (apart from SCIAMACHY) and independent surface measurements is promising for future improvement of CH4 emission estimates by atmospheric inversions.

TI Flow climatology for physicochemical properties of dichotomous aerosol over the western North Atlantic Ocean at Bermuda SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID PARTICLE DISPERSION MODEL; MARINE BOUNDARY-LAYER; OPTICAL DEPTH; ANTHROPOGENIC AEROSOLS; ELEMENTAL CARBON; LIGHT-SCATTERING; UNITED-STATES; SULFATE; ATMOSPHERE; TRANSPORT AB Dichotomous aerosols (nominal super- and sub-mu m-diameter size fractions) in sectored on-shore flow were sampled daily from July 2006 through June 2009, at the Tudor Hill Atmospheric Observatory (THAO) on the western coast of Bermuda (32.27 degrees N, 64.87 degrees W) and analyzed for major chemical and physical properties. FLEXPART retroplumes were calculated for each sampling period and aerosol properties were stratified accordingly based on transport from different regions. Transport from the northeastern United States (NEUS) was associated with significantly higher (factors of 2 to 3 based on median values) concentrations of bulk particulate non-sea-salt (nss) SO42-, NO3-, and NH4+ and associated scattering and absorption at 530 nm, relative to transport from Africa (AFR) and the oceanic background. These differences were driven primarily by higher values associated with the sub-mu m size fraction under NEUS flow. We estimate that 75(+/- 3)% of the NEUS nss SO42- was anthropogenic in origin, while only 25(+/- 9)% of the AFR nss SO42- was anthropogenic. Integrating over all transport patterns, the contribution of anthropogenic sulfate has dropped 14.6% from the early 1990s. Bulk scattering was highly correlated with bulk nss SO42- in all flow regimes but the corresponding regression slopes varied significantly reflecting differential contributions to total scattering by associated aerosol components. Absorption by super-mu m aerosol in transport from the NEUS versus AFR was similar although the super-mu m aerosol size fraction accounted for a relatively greater contribution to total absorption in AFR flow. Significantly greater absorption Angstrom exponents (AAEs) for AFR flow reflects the wavelength dependence of absorption by mineral aerosols; lower AAEs for NEUS flow is consistent with the dominance of absorption by combustion-derived aerosols. Higher AOD associated with transport from both the NEUS and AFR relative to oceanic background flow results in a top of atmosphere direct radiative forcing on the order of -1.6 to -2.5W m(-2), respectively, showing these aerosols drive cooling. The dominance of transport from the NEUS on an annual basis coupled with the corresponding decreases in anthropogenic nss SO42- aerosols since the early 1990s implies that emission reductions in the US account for a decline in atmospheric cooling over the western North Atlantic Ocean during this period.

TI Projections of atmospheric mercury levels and their effect on air quality in the United States SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID GASEOUS ELEMENTAL MERCURY; MARINE BOUNDARY-LAYER; AIR/SURFACE EXCHANGE; VOLCANIC EMISSIONS; GREAT-LAKES; EAST-ASIA; MODEL; TRANSPORT; OXIDATION; OZONE AB The individual and combined effects of global climate change and emissions changes from 2000 to 2050 on atmospheric mercury levels in the United States are investigated by using the global climate-chemistry model, CAM-Chem, coupled with a mercury chemistry-physics mechanism (CAM-Chem/Hg). Three future pathways from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report on Emissions Scenarios (SRES) are considered, with the A1FI, A1B and B1 scenarios representing the upper, middle and lower bounds of potential climate warming, respectively. The anthropogenic and biomass burning emissions of mercury are projected from the energy use assumptions in the IPCC SRES report. Natural emissions from both land and ocean sources are projected by using dynamic schemes. TGM concentration increases are greater in the low latitudes than they are in the high latitudes, indicative of a larger meridional gradient than in the present day. In the A1FI scenario, TGM concentrations in 2050 are projected to increase by 2.1-4.0 ng m(-3) for the eastern US and 1.4-3.0 ng m(-3) for the western US. This spatial difference corresponds to potential increases in wet deposition of 10-14 mu g m(-2) for the eastern US and 2-4 mu g m(-2) for the western US. The increase in Hg(II) emissions tends to enhance wet deposition and hence increase the risk of higher mercury entering the hydrological cycle and ecosystem. In the B1 scenario, mercury concentrations in 2050 are similar to present level concentrations; this finding indicates that the domestic reduction in mercury emissions is essentially counteracted by the effects of climate warming and emissions increases in other regions. The sensitivity analyses show that changes in anthropogenic emissions contribute 32-53% of projected changes in mercury air concentration, while the independent contribution by climate change and its induced natural emissions change accounts for 47-68%.

TI Propagation of radiosonde pressure sensor errors to ozonesonde measurements SO ATMOSPHERIC MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES LA English DT Article ID RADIATION DRY BIAS; VERTICAL-DISTRIBUTION; STOIC 1989; TEMPERATURE; TRENDS; STRATOSPHERE; SENSITIVITY; VALIDATION; UMKEHR AB Several previous studies highlight pressure (or equivalently, pressure altitude) discrepancies between the radiosonde pressure sensor and that derived from a GPS flown with the radiosonde. The offsets vary during the ascent both in absolute and percent pressure differences. To investigate this problem further, a total of 731 radiosonde/ozonesonde launches from the Southern Hemisphere subtropics to northern mid-latitudes are considered, with launches between 2005 and 2013 from both longer term and campaign-based intensive stations. Five series of radiosondes from two manufacturers (International Met Systems: iMet, iMet-P, iMet-S, and Vaisala: RS80-15N and RS92-SGP) are analyzed to determine the magnitude of the pressure offset. Additionally, electrochemical concentration cell (ECC) ozonesondes from three manufacturers (Science Pump Corporation; SPC and ENSCI/Droplet Measurement Technologies; DMT) are analyzed to quantify the effects these offsets have on the calculation of ECC ozone (O-3) mixing ratio profiles (O-3MR) from the ozonesonde-measured partial pressure. Approximately half of all offsets are > +/- 0.6 hPa in the free troposphere, with nearly a third >+/- 1.0 hPa at 26 km, where the 1.0 hPa error represents similar to 5% of the total atmospheric pressure. Pressure offsets have negligible effects on O-3MR below 20 km (96% of launches lie within +/- 5% O-3MR error at 20 km). Ozone mixing ratio errors above 10 hPa (similar to 30 km), can approach greater than +/- 10% (> 25% of launches that reach 30 km exceed this threshold). These errors cause disagreement between the integrated ozonesonde-only column O-3 from the GPS and radiosonde pressure profile by an average of + 6.5 DU. Comparisons of total column O-3 between the GPS and radiosonde pressure profiles yield average differences of + 1.1 DU when the O-3 is integrated to burst with addition of the McPeters and Labow (2012) above-burst O3 column climatology. Total column differences are reduced to an average of -0.5DU when the O-3 profile is integrated to 10 hPa with subsequent addition of the O-3 climatology above 10 hPa. The RS92 radiosondes are superior in performance compared to other radiosondes, with average 26 km errors of -0.12 hPa or + 0.61% O-3MR error. iMet-P radiosondes had average 26 km errors of -1.95 hPa or + 8.75% O-3MR error. Based on our analysis, we suggest that ozonesondes always be coupled with a GPS-enabled radiosonde and that pressure-dependent variables, such as O-3MR, be recalculated/ reprocessed using the GPS-measured altitude, especially when 26 km pressure offsets exceed +/- 1.0 hPa/+/- 5 %.

TI Characterization of Aura TES carbonyl sulfide retrievals over ocean SO ATMOSPHERIC MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES LA English DT Article ID TROPOSPHERIC EMISSION SPECTROMETER; AEROSOL; PHOTOSYNTHESIS; IMPACT; WINDOW; CYCLE; COS AB We present a description of the NASA Aura Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer (TES) carbonyl sulfide (OCS) retrieval algorithm for oceanic observations, along with evaluation of the biases and uncertainties using aircraft profiles from the HIPPO (HIAPER Pole-to-Pole Observations) campaign and data from the NOAA Mauna Loa site. In general, the OCS retrievals (1) have less than 1.0 degree of freedom for signals (DOFs), (2) are sensitive in the mid-troposphere with a peak sensitivity typically between 300 and 500 hPa, (3) but have much smaller systematic errors from temperature, CO2 and H2O calibrations relative to random errors from measurement noise. We estimate the monthly means from TES measurements averaged over multiple years so that random errors are reduced and useful information about OCS seasonal and latitudinal variability can be derived. With this averaging, TES OCS data are found to be consistent (within the calculated uncertainties) with NOAA ground observations and HIPPO aircraft measurements. TES OCS data also captures the seasonal and latitudinal variations observed by these in situ data. C1 [Kuai, L.; Liu, J.] CALTECH, Pasadena, CA 91125 USA. [Worden, J.; Kulawik, S.

TI Characterization of in band stray light in SBUV/2 instruments SO ATMOSPHERIC MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES LA English DT Article ID SOLAR BACKSCATTER ULTRAVIOLET; TOTAL OZONE; CALIBRATION; ALGORITHM AB Significant in-band stray light (IBSL) error at solar zenith angle (SZA) values larger than 77 degrees near sunset in 4 SBUV/2 (Solar Backscattered Ultraviolet) instruments, on board the NOAA-14, 17, 18 and 19 satellites, has been characterized. The IBSL error is caused by large surface reflection and scattering of the air-gapped depolarizer in front of the instrument's monochromator aperture. The source of the IBSL error is direct solar illumination of instrument components near the aperture rather than from earth shine. The IBSL contamination at 273 nm can reach 40% of earth radiance near sunset, which results in as much as a 50% error in the retrieved ozone from the upper stratosphere. We have analyzed SBUV/2 albedo measurements on both the dayside and nightside to develop an empirical model for the IBSL error. This error has been corrected in the V8.6 SBUV/2 ozone retrieval.

Whales were monitored, on average, for 26 days (range = 4-90 days). Some animals remained near their tagging location for multiple days before beginning their northerly migration, yet some visited habitats along the northwestern coast of the Dominican Republic, northern Haiti, the Turks and Caicos islands, and off Anguilla. Individuals monitored during migration headed towards feeding grounds in the Gulf of Maine (USA), Canada, and the eastern North Atlantic (Iceland or Norway). One individual traveled near Bermuda during the migration. This study provides the first detailed description of routes used by North Atlantic humpback whales towards multiple feeding destinations. Additionally, it corroborates previous research showing that individuals from multiple feeding grounds migrate to the Antilles for the breeding season. This study indicates that North Atlantic humpbacks use an area broader than the existing boundaries of marine mammal sanctuaries, which should provide justification for their expansion.

Here we show that the atmospheric oxygen contents (O-2 and O-3) of potentially habitable planets in this type of UV environment could be 2-3 orders of magnitude greater than those of their counterparts around Sun-like stars as a result of decreased photolysis of O-3, H2O2, and HO2. Thus detectable levels of atmospheric oxygen, in combination with the existence of H2O and CO2, may not be the most promising biosignatures on planets around stars with high FUV/NUV ratios such as the observed M dwarfs.

TI Implementing a science-based system for preventing overfishing and guiding sustainable fisheries in the United States SO ICES JOURNAL OF MARINE SCIENCE LA English DT Article DE annual catch limits; MagnusonStevens Act; National Standard guidelines; rebuilding; US fisheries management ID SURPLUS PRODUCTION MODELS; FISH STOCK ASSESSMENT; US FISHERIES; MANAGEMENT; UNCERTAINTY; PROGRESS AB Fisheries management in the United States is primarily governed by the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, first enacted in 1976. Overarching principles are that fishing mortality rates should not jeopardize the capacity of a stock to produce maximum sustainable yield (MSY) and that overfished stocks (i.e. biomass is too low) should be rebuilt to the level that will support MSY. The science-based system for achieving sustainable fisheries is implemented, in part, through setting annual catch limits (ACLs) that cannot exceed the acceptable biological catch that is recommended by Scientific and Statistical Committees using methods that account for scientific uncertainty. Accountability measures (AMs) are management measures to prevent ACLs from being exceeded or correct any overages that occur. Implementation in 2012 of ACLs and AMs in all Federal fisheries was a historical achievement in the United States; one that will help rebuild stocks and ensure sustainable fisheries into the future. Some remaining challenges include: determining appropriate catch levels and management approaches for stocks with incomplete data; assessing more stocks, more frequently; addressing differences between managing stocks as a complex vs. managing individual stocks in a multistock fishery; and incorporating social and economic factors in determining the appropriate response to uncertainty.

TI Finding the accelerator and brake in an individual quota fishery: linking ecology, economics, and fleet dynamics of US West Coast trawl fisheries SO ICES JOURNAL OF MARINE SCIENCE LA English DT Article DE catch shares; ecosystem model; fleet dynamics; individual transferrable quotas; US West Coast ID TRANSFERABLE QUOTAS; CALIFORNIA CURRENT; MARINE ECOSYSTEMS; CATCH SHARES; MANAGEMENT; IMPACTS; MODEL; MARKETS; BYCATCH AB In 2011, the Pacific Fisheries Management Council implemented an individual transferrable quota (ITQ) system for the US West Coast groundfish trawl fleet. Under the ITQ system, each vessel now receives transferrable annual allocations of quota for 29 groundfish species, including target and bycatch species. Here we develop an ecosystem and fleet dynamics model to identify which components of an ITQ system are likely to drive responses in effort, target species catch, bycatch, and overall profitability. In the absence of penalties for discarding over-quota fish, ITQs lead to large increases in fishing effort and bycatch. The penalties fishermen expect for exceeding quota have the largest effect on fleet behaviour, capping effort and total bycatch. Quota prices for target or bycatch species have lesser impacts on fishing dynamics, even up to bycatch quota prices of $50 kg(-1). Ports that overlap less with bycatch species can increase effort under individual quotas, while other ports decrease effort. Relative to a prior management system, ITQs with penalties for exceeding quotas lead to increased target species landings and lower bycatch, but with strong variation among species. The model illustrates how alternative fishery management policies affect profitability, sustainability and the ecosystem.

TI Corroboration and refinement of a method for differentiating landings from two stocks of Pacific sardine (Sardinops sagax) in the California Current SO ICES JOURNAL OF MARINE SCIENCE LA English DT Article DE abundance; biomass; differentiation; distribution; exploitation; mortality ID ANCHOVY ENGRAULIS-MORDAX; WEST-COAST; SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA; CURRENT ECOSYSTEM; SPAWNING HABITAT; BAJA-CALIFORNIA; NORTH-AMERICA; UNITED-STATES; POPULATION; MIGRATION AB Efforts to survey, assess and manage Pacific sardine (Sardinops sagax) in the California Current may depend on accurate differentiation of the purported two migrating stocks. The southern stock spans seasonally from southern Baja California, Mexico to Point Conception, California; the northern stock spans seasonally from Punta Eugenia, Mexico northwards to southern Alaska. Their seasonal north-south migrations are approximately synchronous within their respective domains, resulting in segregated spawning and different identities. A decade ago, a practical method was proposed for differentiating landings from the two stocks using concomitant measurements of sea-surface temperature (SST). Here, we corroborate and refine the method using regional indices of optimal and good potential habitat for the northern stock, and SST-based indices associated with the 99.9 and 100% confidence intervals of the potential habitat. For months when the index is,0.5, (i.e. when the minority of a fishing region probably includes potential northern stock habitat), the landings are attributed to the southern stock, and vice versa. We applied this method to regional monthly landings data from 2006-2011 and the results indicated that an average of 63-72 and 32-36% of the summertime landings at Ensenada, Mexico and San Pedro, southern California were probably from the southern stock, respectively, depending on the index used. Allocation error could be reduced if the landings were evaluated on finer spatio-temporal scales, particularly during habitat-transition periods. Our method may be used to improve estimates of northern stock biomass, spatial and length distributions, recruitment, and mortality.

By using canonical correlation analysis applied to daily maximum temperatures and morbidity data in the form of unscheduled hospitalizations from 1999 to 2009, 19 heat waves spanning 3-15 days in duration that had a significant impact on health were identified. On average, hospital admissions were found to increase by 7% on the peak heat-wave day, with a significant impact seen for several disease categories, including cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, dehydration, acute renal failure, heat illness, and mental health. Statewide, there were 11 000 excess hospitalizations that were due to extreme heat over the period, yet the majority of impactful events were not accompanied by a heat advisory or warning from the National Weather Service. On a regional basis, the strongest health impacts are seen in the Central Valley and the north and south coasts. The north coast contributes disproportionately to the statewide health impact during heat waves, with a 10.5% increase in daily morbidity at heat-wave peak as compared with 8.1% for the Central Valley and 5.6% for the south coast. The temperature threshold at which an impact is seen varies by subregion and timing within the season. These results suggest that heat-warning criteria should consider local percentile thresholds to account for acclimation to local climatological conditions as well as the seasonal timing of a forecast heat wave.

The first 14 h exhibited a well-mixed (coupled) BL with an average cloud-top radiative flux divergence of similar to 130 W m(-2); the BL was decoupled during the last 10 h with negligible radiative flux divergence. The averaged radiative cooling very close to the cloud top was -9.04 K h(-1) in coupled conditions and -3.85 K h(-1) in decoupled conditions. This is the first study that combined data from a vertically pointing Doppler cloud radar and a Doppler lidar to yield the vertical velocity structure of the entire BL. The averaged vertical velocity variance and updraft mass flux during coupled conditions were higher than those during decoupled conditions at all levels by a factor of 2 or more. The vertical velocity skewness was negative in the entire BL during coupled conditions, whereas it was weakly positive in the lower third of the BL and negative above during decoupled conditions. A formulation of velocity scale is proposed that includes the effect of cloud-top radiative cooling in addition to the surface buoyancy flux. When scaled by the velocity scale, the vertical velocity variance and coherent downdrafts had similar magnitude during the coupled and decoupled conditions. The coherent updrafts that exhibited a constant profile in the entire BL during both the coupled and decoupled conditions scaled well with the convective velocity scale to a value of similar to 0.5.

Owing to the existence of systematic errors, either in the observations, instruments, and/or forward models, which can be larger than the signal, the use of infrared or microwave radiances in data assimilation systems requires significant bias corrections. As most bias-correction schemes do not correct for biases that exist in the model forecasts, the model needs to be most bias-correction schemes do not correct for biases that exist in the model forecasts, the model needs to be vations," prevent a drift of the model to its own climatology and associated biases, thus avoiding a spurious drift of the observation bias corrections. This paper shows that the assimilation of global positioning system (GPS) radio occultation (RO) observations over a 3-month period in an operational NWP system results in smaller, more accurate bias corrections in infrared and microwave observations, resulting in an overall more effective use of satellite radiances and a larger number of radiance observations that pass quality control. A full version of the NCEP data assimilation system is used to evaluate the results on the bias corrections for the High Resolution Infrared Radiation Sounder-3 (HIRS-3) onNOAA-17and the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-A (AMSU-A) on NOAA-15 in an operational environment.

TI Rigorous Evaluation of a Fraternal Twin Ocean OSSE System for the Open Gulf of Mexico SO JOURNAL OF ATMOSPHERIC AND OCEANIC TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article ID TROPICAL INDIAN-OCEAN; SIMULATION EXPERIMENT; DATA ASSIMILATION; NORTH-ATLANTIC; VERTICAL COORDINATE; ENSO PREDICTION; MODEL HYCOM; IMPACT; ARRAY; DESIGN AB Anew fraternal twin ocean observing system simulation experiment (OSSE) system is validated in a Gulf of Mexico domain. It is the first ocean system that takes full advantage of design criteria and rigorous evaluation procedures developed to validate atmosphere OSSE systems that have not been fully implemented for the ocean. These procedures are necessary to determine a priori that the OSSE system does not overestimate or underestimate observing system impacts. The new system consists of 1) a nature run (NR) stipulated to represent the true ocean, 2) a data assimilation system consisting of a second ocean model (the "forecast model") coupled to a new ocean data assimilation system, and 3) software to simulate observations from the NR and to add realistic errors. The system design is described to illustrate the requirements of a validated OSSE system. The chosen NR reproduces the climatology and variability of ocean phenomena with sufficient realism. Although the same ocean model type is used (the "fraternal twin" approach), the forecast model is configured differently so that it approximately satisfies the requirement that differences (errors) with respect to the NR grow at the same rate as errors that develop between state-of-the-art ocean models and the true ocean. Rigorous evaluation procedures developed for atmospheric OSSEs are then applied by first performing observing system experiments (OSEs) to evaluate one or more existing observing systems. OSSEs are then performed that are identical except for the assimilation of synthetic observations simulated from the NR. Very similar impact assessments were realized between each OSE-OSSE pair, thus validating the system without the need for calibration. C1 [Halliwell, G.

TI Spiracular air breathing in polypterid fishes and its implications for aerial respiration in stem tetrapods SO NATURE COMMUNICATIONS LA English DT Article ID GILL VENTILATION; DEVONIAN FISH; ORIGIN; MORPHOLOGY; SPIRACLES AB The polypterids (bichirs and ropefish) are extant basal actinopterygian (ray-finned) fishes that breathe air and share similarities with extant lobe-finned sarcopterygians (lungfishes and tetrapods) in lung structure. They are also similar to some fossil sarcopterygians, including stem tetrapods, in having large paired openings (spiracles) on top of their head. The role of spiracles in polypterid respiration has been unclear, with early reports suggesting that polypterids could inhale air through the spiracles, while later reports have largely dismissed such observations. Here we resolve the 100-year-old mystery by presenting structural, behavioural, video, kinematic and pressure data that show spiracle-mediated aspiration accounts for up to 93% of all air breaths in four species of Polypterus. Similarity in the size and position of polypterid spiracles with those of some stem tetrapods suggests that spiracular air breathing may have been an important respiratory strategy during the fish-tetrapod transition from water to land.

TI Second-harmonic generation using (4)over-bar-quasi-phasematching in a GaAs whispering-gallery-mode microcavity SO NATURE COMMUNICATIONS LA English DT Article ID ALGAAS MICRORING RESONATORS; OPTICAL HARMONICS; WAVE-GUIDES; RING RESONATORS; MU-M; CAVITIES; DEVICES AB The (4) over bar crystal symmetry in materials such as GaAs can enable quasi-phasematching for efficient optical frequency conversion without poling, twinning or other engineered domain inversions. (4) over bar symmetry means that a 90 degrees rotation is equivalent to a crystallographic inversion. Therefore, when light circulates about the (4) over bar axis, as in GaAs whispering-gallery-mode microdisks, it encounters effective domain inversions that can produce quasi-phasematching. Microdisk resonators also offer resonant field enhancement, resulting in highly efficient frequency conversion in micrometre-scale volumes. These devices can be integrated in photonic circuits as compact frequency convertors, sources of radiation or entangled photons. Here we present the first experimental observation of second-harmonic generation in a whispering-gallery-mode microcavity utilizing (4) over bar -quasi-phasematching. We use a tapered fibre to couple into the 5-mu m diameter microdisk resonator, resulting in a normalized conversion efficiency eta approximate to 5 x 10(-5) mW(-1). Simulations indicate that when accounting for fibre-cavity scattering, the normalized conversion efficiency is eta approximate to 3 x 10(-3) mW(-1).

TI Global-scale carbon and energy flows through the marine planktonic food web: An analysis with a coupled physical-biological model SO PROGRESS IN OCEANOGRAPHY LA English DT Review ID SUB-ARCTIC PACIFIC; DISSOLVED ORGANIC NITROGEN; ATLANTIC TIME-SERIES; LINE SIMULATION CHARACTERISTICS; EASTERN EQUATORIAL PACIFIC; PRIMARY PRODUCTIVITY; NORTH PACIFIC; PHYTOPLANKTON GROWTH; EXPORT PRODUCTION; ARABIAN SEA AB Global-scale planktonic ecosystem models exhibit large differences in simulated net primary production (NPP) and assessment of planktonic food web fluxes beyond primary producers has been limited, diminishing confidence in carbon flux estimates from these models. In this study, a global ocean-ice-ecosystem model was assessed against a suite of observation-based planktonic food web flux estimates, many of which were not considered in previous modeling studies. The simulation successfully captured cross-biome differences and similarities in these fluxes after calibration of a limited number of highly uncertain yet influential parameters. The resulting comprehensive carbon budgets suggested that shortened food webs, elevated growth efficiencies, and tight consumer-resource coupling enable oceanic upwelling systems to support 45% of pelagic mesozooplankton production despite accounting for only 22% of ocean area and 34% of NPP. In seasonally stratified regions (42% of ocean area and 40% of NPP), weakened consumer-resource coupling tempers mesozooplankton production to 41% and enhances export below 100 m to 48% of the global total. In oligotrophic systems (36% of ocean area and 26% of NPP), the dominance of small phytoplankton and low consumer growth efficiencies supported only 14% of mesozooplankton production and 17% of export globally. Bacterial production, in contrast, was maintained in nearly constant proportion to primary production across biomes through the compensating effects of increased partitioning of NPP to the microbial food web in oligotrophic ecosystems and increased bacterial growth efficiencies in more productive areas. Cross-biome differences in mesozooplankton trophic level were muted relative to those invoked by previous work such that significant differences in consumer growth efficiencies and the strength of consumer-resource coupling were needed to explain sharp cross-biome differences in mesozooplankton production. Lastly, simultaneous consideration of multiple flux constraints supports a highly distributed view of respiration across the planktonic food web rather than one dominated by heterotrophic bacteria. The solution herein is unlikely unique in its ability to explain observed cross-biome energy flow patterns and notable misfits remain. Resolution of existing uncertainties in observed biome-scale productivity and increasingly mechanistic physical and biological model components should yield significant refinements to estimates herein.

Dussurget, Renaud Lumpkin, Rick TI Cyclonic activity in the eastern Gulf of Mexico: Characterization from along-track altimetry and in situ drifter trajectories SO PROGRESS IN OCEANOGRAPHY LA English DT Review ID LOOP CURRENT; SATELLITE ALTIMETRY; STOCHASTIC-MODELS; ATLANTIC-OCEAN; EDDIES; SURFACE; VARIABILITY; EVOLUTION; CURRENTS; SEA AB The shedding sequence of the Loop Current (LC) inside the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) is strongly influenced by cyclonic frontal eddies around its edge. Along-track altimetry data, analyzed based on a wavelet decomposition to provide estimates of individual cyclones' diameter, amplitude and relative vorticity, and in situ surface drifter data from the Global Drifter Program, are used to investigate the cyclonic activity in the eastern Gulf of Mexico, where the LC extends and retracts. By analyzing this similar to 20 year long (19922011) combined set of observation data records, we were able to complement previous findings, to confirm results from modeling studies and to provide new insights on the LC frontal dynamics. Drifter data indicate, for the first time, that Loop Current Frontal Eddies (LCFEs) are in solid-body rotation close to their core. This property makes relative vorticity the most robust diagnostic from along-track altimetry for characterizing LCFEs in the eastern GoM, based on consistent comparisons with drifter data. Both data sets are complementary for describing the LCFEs' regional variability. LCFEs observed in the deep southeastern GoM show intense relative vorticity, but they are not frequently observed. The study of an unprecedented, long drifter trajectory suggests that they are not intensified locally. This implies that, among LCFEs coming from the northern GoM, only intense ones reach the deep southeastern GoM. The observation datasets provide, for the first time, quantitative evidences of processes so far only identified with models: LCFEs are intensified when they are advected over the Mississippi Fan in the northern GoM; a small area north of Campeche Bank shows intense LCFE activity. The altimetry and drifter data confirm and complement results from more limited datasets: LCFEs forming the Tortugas Eddies, at the entrance of the Straits of Florida, are the most intensely observed LCFEs in altimetry. Coming from the GoM interior, they can be modified, in size and intensity, just before or during their stay in the Dry Tortugas area, whereas they were long considered to be modified only after they were advected in the Straits of Florida. A single drifter trajectory illustrates in detail the erosion of a LCFE in the southeastern GoM, presumably under the influence of the LC, which leads to the re-arrangement of vorticity and the formation of a distinct LCFE, just upstream the Dry Tortugas area. The study also confirms that LCFEs have diameters of 80-120 km, generally larger east and north of the LC. They tend to stay for long periods in the northeastern GoM, and thus may undergo vortex merging with incoming eddies, as previously noted on individual episodes. Altimetry reveals that the largest LCFEs reside in the central eastern GoM, in a location where they are known to block the LC extension; however, our long altimetry dataset shows that these large eddies are not always involved in such LC blocking. Finally, this study led to improvements in data treatment, for both along-track altimetry and drifter trajectories. The wavelet approach used to derive eddy characteristics from along-track altimetry allows robust estimates of the eddy relative vorticity. The drifter dataset has been extended to include data from drifters even after they lost their drogue; the latter data treatment can be applied in areas of moderate winds. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

TI Multivariate ocean-climate indicators (MOCI) for the central California Current: Environmental change, 1990-2010 SO PROGRESS IN OCEANOGRAPHY LA English DT Review ID EL-NINO; LA-NINA; NORTHEAST PACIFIC; FISHERIES MANAGEMENT; EQUATORIAL PACIFIC; ROCKFISH SEBASTES; MARINE ECOSYSTEMS; CURRENT SYSTEM; COOP-WEST; VARIABILITY AB Temporal environmental variability may confound interpretations of management actions, such as reduced fisheries mortality when Marine Protected Areas are implemented. To aid in the evaluation of recent ecosystem protection decisions in central-northern California, we designed and implemented multivariate ocean-climate indicators (MOCI) of environmental variability. To assess the validity of the MOCI, we evaluated interannual and longer-term variability in relation to previously recognized environmental variability in the region, and correlated MOCI to a suite of biological indicators including proxies for lower- (phytoplankton, copepods, krill), and upper-level (seabirds) taxa. To develop the MOCI, we selected, compiled, and synthesized 14 well-known atmospheric and oceanographic indicators of large-scale and regional processes (transport and upwelling), as well as local atmospheric and oceanic response variables such as wind stress, sea surface temperature, and salinity. We derived seasonally-stratified MOCI using principal component analysis. Over the 21-year study period (1990-2010), the ENSO cycle weakened while extra-tropical influences increased with a strengthening of the North Pacific Gyre Oscillation (NPGO) and cooling of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO). Correspondingly, the Northern Oscillation Index (NOI) strengthened, leading to enhanced upwelling-favorable wind stress and cooling of air and ocean surface temperatures. The seasonal MOCI related well to subarctic copepod biomass and seabird productivity, but poorly to chlorophyll-a concentration and krill abundance. Our results support a hypothesis of enhanced sub-arctic influence (transport from the north) and upwelling intensification in north-central California over the past two decades. Such environmental conditions may favor population growth for species with sub-arctic zoogeographic affinities within the central-northern California Current coastal ecosystem. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

We modeled 5 distinct migration strategies and compared the resulting spatial distributions to catch data collected during May and June in 3 years. Two strategies produced fish distributions similar to those observed in May, but only one also produced the observed June distributions. In both strategies, salmon distinguish north from south (i.e. they have a compass sense), and they control their position relative to particular landmarks, such as the river mouth. With these 2 abilities, we posit that salmon follow spatially explicit behavior rules that prevent entrapment in strong southward currents and advection offshore. Additionally, the consistent spatio-temporal distributions observed among years suggest that salmon use a clock sense to adjust their swim speed, within and among years, in response to progress along their migration.

TI A Detailed Failure Analysis Examination of the Effect of Thermal Cycling on Cu TSV Reliability SO IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON ELECTRON DEVICES LA English DT Article DE Failure analysis; finite element analysis; three-dimensional integrated circuits; through-silicon vias ID THROUGH-SILICON; ARCHITECTURE; VIAS AB In this paper, the reliability of through-silicon via (TSV) daisy chains under thermal cycling conditions was examined. The electrical resistance of TSV daisy chains was found to increase with the number of thermal cycles, due to thermally induced damage leading to the formation and growth of defects. The contributions of each identified damage type to the change in the electrical resistance of the TSV chain were evaluated by electrical modeling. Thermo-mechanical modeling showed a good correlation between the observed damage locations and the simulated stress-concentration regions of the TSV.

The potential dependence of alloy composition, structure and deposition current efficiency was determined using in situ electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) measurements and metallurgical analysis. The recently documented self-terminating electrodeposition of elemental Pt is disrupted by competitive adsorption and underpotential co-deposition of the iron group metals, whose onset overlaps with the H-upd region. Excess alloying enthalpy between Pt and the iron group metals supports the underpotential deposition of the iron group metals during on-going Pt deposition. The total iron group alloy content increases monotonically as the deposition potential becomes more negative. Below the reversible hydrogen potential the current efficiency drops with the onset of the proton reduction reaction. At more negative potentials the efficiency increases as the partial current for the Pt deposition and proton reduction reactions operate near diffusion control while the iron group metal deposition current increases monotonically. For ternary Pt100-x-yCoxNiy alloys grown from an electrolyte with [Ni2+]/[Co2+] = 1, Ni underpotential co-deposition is favored over Co, while in the overpotential regime anomalous co-deposition occurs with the Co content significantly exceeding that of Ni.

Here we used time series of hydrography, meteorology, nutrients, and phytoplankton pigments to explore the relationships between planktonic biomass, nutrient stocks, and physical regimes in LIS. With the exception of the most eutrophied station in the west, dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) decreased between 1995 and 2009, likely resulting from WWTP upgrades. However, total dissolved nitrogen increased during this period, primarily driven by rising organic nitrogen pools. Simultaneous increases in inorganic phosphorus, silicate, and chlorophyll a (chl a) were also observed. Starting in 2002, pigment-based phytoplankton community composition revealed systematic declines in diatom abundances coincident with increases in dinoflagellates and other flagellated phytoplankton groups. Despite this, bottom water dissolved oxygen concentrations did not improve. The apparent paradox between increasing DIN limitation and escalating chl a concentrations in LIS suggests a shifting nutrient stoichiometry and an altered phytoplankton community in which phytoflagellates have increased in abundance relative to diatoms. Despite these changes, diatoms remained the most abundant algal group by the end of the study. In addition, a shift in chl a stocks in the year 2000 coincided with decreases in temperature, increases in salinity, and the proliferation of several algal groups. These results reveal the complex nature of eutrophied estuaries and indicate that policies targeting only inorganic nitrogen loadings may be insufficient to mitigate eutrophication in systems such as LIS.

It gives the Gibbs energy G(T) of the elements in the form of series as a function of temperature, i.e. essentially a curve fitting to experimental data. In the light of progress in theoretical understanding and first-principles calculation methods, the possibility for an improved database description of the thermodynamics of the elements has become evident. It is the purpose of this paper to provide a framework for such work. Lattice vibrations, which usually give the major contribution to G(T), are treated in some detail with a discussion of neutron scattering studies of anharmonicity in aluminium, first-principles calculations including ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD), and the strength and weakness of analytic model representations of data. Similarly, electronic contributions to G(T) are treated on the basis of the density of states N(E) for metals, with emphasis on effects at high T. Further, we consider G(T) below 300K, which is not covered by SGTE. Other parts in the paper discuss metastable and dynamically unstable lattices, G(T) in the region of superheated solids and the requirement on a database in the calculation of phase diagrams.

We begin with an overview of the formalism currently used in CALPHAD to describe the temperature dependence of the liquid Gibbs free energy and outline opportunities for improvement by reviewing the current physical understanding of the liquid. Brief descriptions of experimental methods for extracting high-temperature data on liquids and the preparation of undercooled liquid samples are presented. Properties of a well-determined substance, B-2 O-3, including the glass transition, are then discussed in detail to emphasize specific modelling requirements for the liquid. We then examine the two-state model proposed for CALPHAD in detail and compare results with experiment and theory, where available. We further examine the contributions of atomic-scale methods to the understanding of liquids and their potential for supplementing available data. We discuss molecular dynamics (MD) and Monte Carlo methods that employ atomic interactions from classical interatomic potentials, as well as contributions from ab initio MD. We conclude with a summary of our findings. (C) 2013 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim C1 [Becker, Chandler A.; Kattner, Ursula R.] NIST, Mat Sci & Engn Div, Gaithersburg, MD 20899 USA.

The SNOW-V10 international team augmented the instrumentation associated with the Winter Games and several new numerical weather forecasting and nowcasting models were added. Both the additional observational and model data were available to the forecasters in real time. This was an excellent opportunity to demonstrate existing capability in nowcasting and to develop better techniques for short term (0-6 h) nowcasts of winter weather in complex terrain. Better techniques to forecast visibility, low cloud, wind gusts, precipitation rate and type were evaluated. The weather during the games was exceptionally variable with many periods of low visibility, low ceilings and precipitation in the form of both snow and rain. The data collected should improve our understanding of many physical phenomena such as the diabatic effects due to melting snow, wind flow around and over terrain, diurnal flow reversal in valleys associated with daytime heating, and precipitation reductions and increases due to local terrain. Many studies related to these phenomena are described in the Special Issue on SNOW-V10 for which this paper was written. Numerical weather prediction and nowcast models have been evaluated against the unique observational data set now available. It is anticipated that the data set and the knowledge learned as a result of SNOW-V10 will become a resource for other World Meteorological Organization member states who are interested in improving forecasts of winter weather.

It consisted of in situ weather stations on custom-designed platforms. The sensors included an HMP45C for temperature, humidity and pressure, a tipping bucket rain gauge, an acoustic snow depth sensor, a Pluvio 1 precipitation gauge and an anemometer placed at gauge height and at 10 m height. Modifications to commercial automated precipitation gauges were necessary for the heavy snowfall conditions. Advanced or emerging technologies were deployed to support scientific and nowcasting studies into precipitation intensity, typing, visibility and wind. The sensors included an FD12P visibility and precipitation sensor, a precipitation occurrence sensing system (POSS) present weather sensor, a Hotplate precipitation sensor and a Parsivel disdrometer. Data were collected at 1 min sampling intervals. A Doppler weather radar was deployed in a valley location and provided critical detailed low-level data. An X-band dual-polarized radar was deployed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to monitor Vancouver and Cypress Mountain. Three remote sensing stations for vertical profiling were established. At the base of Whistler Mountain, a micro-rain radar, a 22-channel radiometer, a ceilometer, a Parsivel and a POSS were installed. At the base of Cypress Mountain, a micro-rain radar, a ceilometer, a low cost rain sensor (LCR by ATTEX) and a POSS were installed. At Squamish, a wind profiler and a POSS were installed. Weather sensors were mounted on the Whistler Village Gondola and on the Peak to Peak gondola. Sites were established along the Whistler Mountain slope and at other key locations. The combination of sites and instruments formed a comprehensive network to provide observations appropriate for nowcasting in winter complex terrain and investigate precipitation, visibility and wind processes. The contribution provides a detailed description of the network, their sensors, the innovations and some examples.

TI Precipitation Observations with NSSL's X-band Polarimetric Radar during the SNOW-V10 Campaign SO PURE AND APPLIED GEOPHYSICS LA English DT Article DE Polarimetric radar; melting layer; ice microphysics; rainfall estimation; partial beam blockage ID MELTING-LAYER; RAIN; REFLECTIVITY; CALIBRATION; MODEL AB In support of SNOW-V10, the National Oceanic Administration/National Severe Storms Laboratory (NOAA/NSSL) mobile dual-polarized X-band (NO-XP) radar was deployed to Birch Bay State Park in Birch Bay, Washington from 3 January 2010 to 17 March 2010. In addition to being made available in real time for Science and NOWcasting of the Olympic Weather for Vancouver 2010 (SNOW-V10) operations, NO-XP data are used here to demonstrate the capabilities of easily deployable, polarimetric X-band radar systems, especially for regions where mountainous terrain results in partial beam blockage. A rainfall estimator based on specific attenuation is shown to mitigate the effects of partial beam blockage and provide potential improvement in rainfall estimation. The ability of polarimetric X-band radar to accurately detect melting layer (ML) height is also shown. A 16 h comparison of radar reflectivity (Z), differential reflectivity (Z (DR)), and correlation coefficient (rho(hv)) measurements from NO-XP with vertically pointing Micro Rain Radar observations indicates that the two instruments provide ML height evolution that exhibit consistent temporal trends. Since even slight changes in the ML height in regions of mountainous terrain might result in a change in precipitation type measured at the surface, this shows that horizontally extensive information on ML height fluctuations, such as provided by the NO-XP, is useful in determining short term changes in expected precipitation type. Finally, range-height indicator (RHI) scans of NO-XP Z, Z (DR), and rho(hv) fields from SNOW-V10 are used to demonstrate the ability of polarimetric radar to diagnose microphysical processes (both above and below the ML) that otherwise remain unseen by conventional radar. Near-surface enhancements in Z (DR) are attributed to either differential sedimentation or the preferential evaporation of smaller drops. Immediately above the ML, regions of high Z, low Z (DR), and high rho(hv) are believed to be associated with convective turrets containing heavily aggregated or rimed snow that supply water/ice mass that later result in enhanced regions of precipitation near the surface. Higher up, horizontally extensive regions of enhanced Z (DR) are attributed to rapid dendritic growth and the onset of snow aggregation, a feature that has been widely observed with both S band and C band radars.

TI Realizing User-Relevant Conceptual Model for the Ski Jump Venue of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics SO PURE AND APPLIED GEOPHYSICS LA English DT Article ID NOCTURNAL BOUNDARY-LAYER; BRITISH-COLUMBIA; GAP WINDS; PREDICTION; CASES-99; OUTBREAK; SURFACE; FJORD; SLOPE; GAMES AB As was the case for most other Olympic competitions, providing weather guidance for the ski jump and Nordic combined events involved its own set of unique challenges. The extent of these challenges was brought to light before the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics during a series of outflow wind events in the 2008/2009 winter season. The interactions with the race officials during the difficult race conditions brought on by the outflows provided a new perspective on the service delivery requirements for the upcoming Olympic Games. In particular, the turbulent nature of the winds and its impact on the ski jump practice events that season highlighted the need of race officials for nowcasting advice at very short time scales (from 2 min to 1 h) and forecast products tailored to their decision-making process. These realizations resulted in last minute modifications to the monitoring strategy leading up to the Olympic Games and required forecasters' conceptual models for flow within the Callaghan Valley to be downscaled further to reflect the evolution of turbulence at the ski jump site. The SNOW-V10 (Science of Nowcasting Olympic Weather for Vancouver 2010) team provided support for these efforts by supplying diagnostic case analyses of important events using numerical weather data and by enhancing the real-time monitoring capabilities at the ski jump venue.

Qian et al. presented ENSO composites of atmospheric CO2 changes. We show that their composites do not reflect the atmospheric changes that are most relevant to understanding the role of ENSO on atmospheric CO2 variability. We present here composites of atmospheric CO2 change that differ markedly from those of Qian et al., and reveal previously unreported asymmetries between the effects on the global carbon system of El Nino and La Nina events. The calendar-year timing differs; La Nina changes in atmospheric CO2 typically occur primarily over September-May, while El Nino changes occur primarily over December-August. And the net concentration change is quite different; La Nina changes are about half the size of El Nino changes. These results illustrate new aspects of the ENSO/global carbon budget interaction and provide useful global-scale benchmarks for the evaluation of Earth System Model studies of the carbon system.

The temperature-dependent Raman spectra of exfoliated, monolayer MoS2 in the range of 100-320 K are reported and analyzed. The linear temperature coefficients of the in-plane E-2g(1) and the out-of-plane A(1g) modes for both suspended and substrate-supported monolayer MoS2 are measured. These data, when combined with the first-order coefficients from laser power-dependent studies, enable the thermal conductivity to be extracted. The resulting thermal conductivity kappa = (34.5 +/- 4) W/mK at room temperature agrees well with the first-principles lattice dynamics simulations. However, this value is significantly lower than that of graphene. The results from this work provide important input for the design of MoS2-based devices where thermal management is critical.

Pixels in the LIS background image associated with DCCs are identified and analyzed during July and August of each year in the 13 year period. The resulting LIS DCC radiances are found to be stable throughout the period, varying at most by 0.8% from the 13 year mean July August value of 358.1 W sr(-1) m(-2) mu m(-1). The DCC method in this study provides a good approach for evaluating the stability of the future GOES-R Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM). (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

However, additional roles for this caspase-like activity, the enzymes responsible, and the targets of this enzyme activity in phytoplankton remain largely undefined. In the present study, the role of caspase-like activity in aging and ROS-mediated cell death were investigated and death programs both dependent on and independent of caspase-like activity were observed in the toxic dinoflagellate, Karenia brevis. The dual use of in situ caspase 3/7 and TUNEL staining identified previously undescribed death-associated morphotypes in K. brevis. In silica motif analysis identified several enzymes with predicted caspase-like activity in the K. brevis transcriptome, although bona fide caspases are absent. Lastly, computational prediction of downstream caspase substrates, using sequence context and predicted secondary structure, identified proteins involved in a wide range of biological processes including regulation of protein turnover, cell cycle progression, lipid metabolism, coenzyme metabolism, apoptotic and autophagic death. To confirm the computational predictions, a short peptide was designed around the predicated caspase cleavage site in a predicted novel K. brevis caspase 3/7-like target, Sadenosylmethionine synthetase (KbAdoMetS). Cleavage of the peptide substrate with recombinant caspase 3 enzyme was determined by MALDI-TOF MS, confirming that KbAdoMetS is indeed a bona fide caspase substrate. These data identify the involvement of caspase-like activity in both aging and cell death in K. brevis and identify novel executioner enzymes and downstream targets that may be important for bloom termination.

Quantifying the effects of capture and release on fish survival is critical for determining which practices are sustainable, particularly for threatened species. Using a standardized fishing technique, we studied sublethal (blood physiology and reflex impairment assessment) and lethal (post-release mortality with satellite tags) outcomes of fishing stress on 5 species of coastal sharks (great hammerhead, bull, blacktip, lemon, and tiger). Species-specific differences were detected in whole blood lactate, partial pressure of carbon dioxide, and pH values, with lactate emerging as the sole parameter to be significantly affected by increasing hooking duration and shark size. Species-specific differences in reflex impairment were also found; however, we did not detect any significant relationships between reflex impairment and hooking duration. Taken together, we ranked each species according to degree of stress response, from most to least disturbed, as follows: hammerhead shark > blacktip shark > bull shark > lemon shark > tiger shark. Satellite tagging data revealed that nearly 100% of all tracked tiger sharks reported for at least 4 wk after release, which was significantly higher than bull (74.1%) and great hammerhead (53.6%) sharks. We discuss which mechanisms may lead to species-specific differences in sensitivity to fishing and suggest that observed variation in responses may be influenced by ecological and evolutionary phenomena. Moreover, our results show that certain species (i.e. hammerhead sharks in this study) are inherently vulnerable to capture stress and mortality resulting from fisheries interactions and should receive additional attention in future conservation strategies.

The purpose of the present study was to identify potential sources of variability in long-term acoustic telemetry data, focusing specifically on environmental variability. The study was conducted for 15 mo in Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary, Georgia, USA, using 2 submersible Vemco VR2W hydrophone receivers and 2 stationary range test transmitters (controls). Tag detections (+/- 1 SE) decreased from 54.2 +/- 2.5 to 11.4 +/- 0.5 detections d(-1) as transmission distance increased from 100 to 300 m. Detections varied seasonally (likely due to stratification), with the direction of flood and ebb tidal currents (12.4 h cycle), and with tidal current speed (6.2 h cycle). Tides explained up to 92% of the short-term variability in hourly detection data. Detections also increased or decreased during episodic weather events depending on the season and type of event. These results suggest that stationary control tags are useful for characterizing variability in sound transmission in open water marine acoustic telemetry studies.

Concurrent fish and coral monitoring were conducted at Uva Island reef, which lies within the boundaries of Coiba National Park, Panama, in an area that has received virtually no fishing pressure or watershed development over the past 80 yr. Coral and fish monitoring spanned the 1982-1983 and 1997-1998 El Nino disturbances-anomalous warming events that selectively killed reef-building corals. While no fish mortalities were observed during the 1982-1983 El Nino event, live coral cover was reduced to nearly 0% at the study reef. From 1984 to 1990, live coral (Pocillopora spp.) cover was extremely low (< 5%), but demonstrated steady recovery to similar to 35% by 2010. By quantifying disturbance-related, long-term changes in coral reef resources and relating these to fish trophic group responses, several functional relationships emerged. A total of 63 fish taxa were observed, and reef fish density (all taxa combined) remained relatively stable. Multivariate analysis of species abundances revealed a strong overlap between seasons and a clustering of community composition in the years following bleaching. Fish species richness increased significantly as live coral cover rose from near 0 to 15-20% and then demonstrated a decreasing trend to 35% cover. Benthic invertivores showed a significant parabolic increase in density peaking at similar to 20% live coral cover. A pattern of decline was apparent for the mixed diet feeders guild as coral cover increased, whereas an asymptotic relationship with coral cover emerged for the facultative corallivore guild. No clear patterns in herbivore, piscivore and planktivore abundance were apparent with increasing coral cover. The varying responses of invertivore, corallivore and mixed diet feeders guilds demonstrated strong associations with coral cover, probably reflecting changes in the availability of their respective trophic resources during reef recovery. Thus, variations in coral cover probably influence fish communities through trophic pathways involving invertebrate food sources. C1 [Glynn, P. W.; Afflerbach, J. A.; Brandtneris, V. W.; Serafy, J.

One evolution is the shift from traditional single-value deterministic forecast to flow-dependent (not statistical) probabilistic forecast to address forecast uncertainty. Another is from a one-way observation-prediction system shifting to an interactive two-way observation-prediction system to increase predictability of a weather system. In the first part, how ensemble spread from NCEP SREF predicting ensemble-mean forecast error was evaluated over a period of about a month. The result shows that the current capability of predicting forecast error by the 21-member NCEP SREF has reached to a similar or even higher level than that of current state-of-the-art NWP models in predicting precipitation, e.g., the spatial correlation between ensemble spread and absolute forecast error has reached 0.5 or higher at 87 h (3.5 d) lead time on average for some meteorological variables. This demonstrates that the current operational ensemble system has already had preliminary capability of predicting the forecast error with usable skill, which is a remarkable achievement as of today. Given the good spread-skill relation, the probability derived from the ensemble was also statistically reliable, which is the most important feature a useful probabilistic forecast should have. The second part of this research tested an ensemble-based interactive targeting (E-BIT) method. Unlike other mathematically-calculated objective approaches, this method is subjective or human interactive based on information from an ensemble of forecasts. A numerical simulation study was performed to eight real atmospheric cases with a 10-member, bred vector-based mesoscale ensemble using the NCEP regional spectral model (RSM, a sub-component of NCEP SREF) to prove the concept of this E-BIT method. The method seems to work most effective for basic atmospheric state variables, moderately effective for convective instabilities and least effective for precipitations. Precipitation is a complex result of many factors and, therefore, a more challenging field to be improved by targeted observation. C1 [Du Jun] NOAA, NCEP, Washington, DC 20740 USA.

Traditionally, these estimates have only been available through approaches that rely on intensive mark-recapture data. We extended recently developed N-mixture models to demonstrate how demographic parameters and abundance can be estimated for structured populations using only stage-structured count data. Our modeling framework can be used to make reliable inferences on abundance as well as recruitment, immigration, stage-specific survival, and detection rates during sampling. We present a range of simulations to illustrate the data requirements, including the number of years and locations necessary for accurate and precise parameter estimates. We apply our modeling framework to a population of northern dusky salamanders (Desmognathus fuscus) in the mid-Atlantic region (USA) and find that the population is unexpectedly declining. Our approach represents a valuable advance in the estimation of population dynamics using multistate data from unmarked individuals and should additionally be useful in the development of integrated models that combine data from intensive (e.g., mark-recapture) and extensive (e.g., counts) data sources.

TI Strandings as indicators of marine mammal biodiversity and human interactions off the coast of North Carolina SO FISHERY BULLETIN LA English DT Article ID DOLPHIN TURSIOPS-TRUNCATUS; BOTTLE-NOSED DOLPHINS; ATLANTIC RIGHT WHALES; UNITED-STATES; CETACEAN STRANDINGS; PHOCOENA-PHOCOENA; MID-ATLANTIC; CONTINENTAL-SHELF; HARBOR PORPOISE; SOUTH-CAROLINA AB The adjacency of 2 marine biogeographic regions off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina (NC), and the proximity of the Gulf Stream result in a high biodiversity of species from northern and southern provinces and from coastal and pelagic habitats. We examined spatiotemporal patterns of marine mammal strandings and evidence of human interaction for these strandings along NC shorelines and evaluated whether the spatiotemporal patterns and species diversity of the stranded animals reflected published records of populations in NC waters. During the period of 1997-2008, 1847 stranded animals were documented from 1777 reported events. These animals represented 9 families and 34 species that ranged from tropical delphinids to pagophilic seals. This biodiversity is higher than levels observed in other regions. Most strandings were of coastal bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) (56%), harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) (14%), and harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) (4%). Overall, strandings of northern species peaked in spring. Bottlenose dolphin strandings peaked in spring and fall. Almost half of the strandings, including southern delphinids, occurred north of Cape Hatteras, on only 30% of NC's coastline. Most stranded animals that were positive for human interaction showed evidence of having been entangled in fishing gear, particularly bottlenose dolphins, harbor porpoises, short-finned pilot whales (Globicephala macrorhynchus), harbor seals, and humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae). Spatiotemporal patterns of bottlenose dolphin strandings were similar to ocean gillnet fishing effort. Biodiversity of the animals stranded on the beaches reflected biodiversity in the waters off NC, albeit not always proportional to the relative abundance of species (e.g., Kogia species). Changes in the spatiotemporal patterns of strandings can serve as indicators of underlying changes due to anthropogenic or naturally occurring events in the source populations.

TI Co-occurrence of bycatch and target species in the groundfish demersal trawl fishery of the US west coast; with special consideration of rebuilding stocks SO FISHERY BULLETIN LA English DT Article ID MARINE-FISHERIES; UPPER SLOPE; ASSEMBLAGES; OREGON; WASHINGTON; MANAGEMENT; SHELF; HABITATS; DISCARDS; ROCKFISH AB Bycatch and resultant discard mortality are issues of global concern. The groundfish demersal trawl fishery on the west coast of the United States is a multispecies fishery with significant catch of target and nontarget species. These catches are of particular concern in regard to species that have previously been declared overfished and are currently rebuilding biomass back to target levels. To understand these interactions better, we used data from the West Coast Groundfish Observer Program in a series of cluster analyses to evaluate 3 questions: 1) Are there identifiable associations between species caught in the bottom trawl fishery; 2) Do species that are undergoing population rebuilding toward target biomass levels ("rebuilding species") cluster with targeted species in a consistent way; 3) Are the relationships between rebuilding bycatch species and target species more resolved at particular spatial scales or are relationships spatially consistent across the whole data set? Two strong species clusters emerged-a deepwater slope cluster and a shelf cluster neither of which included rebuilding species. The likelihood of encountering rebuilding rockfish species is relatively low. To evaluate whether weak clustering of rebuilding rockfish was attributable to their low rate of occurrence, we specified null models of species occurrence. Results indicated that the ability to predict occurrence of rebuilding rockfish when target species were caught was low. Cluster analyses performed at a variety of spatial scales indicated that the most reliable clustering of rebuilding species was at the spatial scale of individual fishing ports. This finding underscores the value of spatially resolved data for fishery management.

TI Home range and seasonal movements of Black Sea Bass (Centropristis striata) during their inshore residency at a reef in the mid-Atlantic Bight SO FISHERY BULLETIN LA English DT Article ID TAKE MARINE RESERVE; HABITAT USE; SITE FIDELITY; PATTERNS; FISH; BEHAVIOR; SPACE; LABRIDAE; HISTORY; TOOL AB Black Sea Bass (Centropristis striata) in the mid-Atlantic Bight undertake seasonal cross-shelf movements to occupy inshore rocky reefs and hardbottom habitats between spring and fall. Shelf-wide migrations of this stock are well documented, but movements and home ranges of fish during their inshore residency period have not been described. We tagged 122 Black Sea Bass with acoustic transmitters at a mid-Atlantic reef to estimate home-range size and factors that influence movements (>400 m) at a 46.1-km(2) study site between May and November 2003. Activity of Black Sea Bass was greatest and most consistent during summer but declined rapidly in September as water temperatures at the bottom of the seafloor increased on the inner shelf. Black Sea Bass maintained relatively large home ranges that were fish-size invariant but highly variable (13.7-736.4 ha), underscoring the importance of large sample sizes in examination of population-level characteristics of mobile species with complex social interactions. On the basis of observed variations in movement patterns and the size of home ranges, we postulate the existence of groups of conspecifics that exhibit similar space-use behaviors. The group of males released earlier in the tagging period used larger home ranges than the group of males released later in our study. In addition, mean activity levels and the probability of movement among acoustic stations varied among groups of fish in a complex manner that depended on sex. These differences in movement behaviors may increase the vulnerability of male fish to passive fishing gears, further exacerbating variation in exploitation rates for this species among reefs.

TI Validation and application of noninvasive glucocorticoid and thyroid hormone measures in free-ranging Hawaiian monk seals SO GENERAL AND COMPARATIVE ENDOCRINOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Hawaiian monk seal; Monachus schauinslandi; Fecal hormone metabolites; Glucocorticoids; Thyroid hormone ID LIONS EUMETOPIAS-JUBATUS; NORTHERN ELEPHANT SEAL; MONACHUS-SCHAUINSLANDI; FECAL GLUCOCORTICOIDS; NUTRITIONAL STRESS; ADRENAL-FUNCTION; PHOCA-VITULINA; HARBOR SEALS; METABOLITES; SURVIVAL AB We validate fecal glucocorticoid (GC) and thyroid (T3) hormone metabolite measures in the Critically Endangered Hawaiian monk seal for the first time, and examine variation in the concentrations of these hormones in individuals across the species' range. We test hypotheses that monk seals from declining subpopulations have relatively high GCs and low T3 on average suggesting impacts of food limitation, and that this hormone pattern is more apparent in immature animals compared to adults, as food limitation is specifically indicated as a principal cause of poor body condition and survival of juvenile monk seals. We opportunistically sampled scat from 84 individually identifiable monk seals during the 2010 breeding season from two geographic regions, the main Hawaiian Islands (MHI) and the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI). The MHI subpopulation of monk seals is growing, whereas subpopulations at many sites in the NWHI are in decline. Best fit general linear models predicting variation in GCs and T3 (examined separately) were similar (after accounting for significantly elevated hormone concentrations associated with molt and possibly lactation); both included sample date, region, and monk seal age as predictors. GC concentrations were significantly lower in MHI versus NWHI monk seals and decreased as the breeding season progressed. T3 concentrations were significantly lower in immature monk seals compared to adults. GC and T3 concentrations were positively correlated at 4 NWHI sites; prey may be adequate for physiological growth or maintenance at these sites but relatively stressful to acquire. GCs were highest at French Frigate Shoals, (a NWHI site) while T3 was relatively low here, indicating a possible signal of food limitation. GCs were lowest in the MHI. Disturbance associated with living near a high human population in the MHI appears to impact monk seal physiology less than other stressors encountered in the remote and highly protected NWHI where human presence is extremely low.

TI Non-Imaging Winston Cone Concentrators for Submillimeter-Wave, Overmoded Waveguide SO IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON TERAHERTZ SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Compound parabolic concentrator (CPC); concentrator; overmoded waveguide; power meter; submillimeter-wave; terahertz (THz); Winston cone ID MILLIMETER WAVELENGTHS AB We describe the design, simulation, and measured performance of concentrators designed to couple submillimeter wavelength radiation from free space into highly overmoded, rectangular, WR-10 waveguide. They consist of a combination of a Winston cone (also called a compound parabolic concentrator or CPC) with an adiabatic circular to rectangular transition. They are intended for use as adapters, between instruments using overmoded WR-10 waveguide as input or output and sources propagating through free space. Unlike conventional waveguide-coupled antennas, a geometric optics analysis is more appropriate than a mode-by-mode electromagnetic calculation of impedance and far-field pattern. Six separate designs were studied, with input diameters from 5 to 16 mm, and "throat" diameters (i.e., diameters at the circular interface between cone and transition sections) of 1 to 4 mm. Measurements at 394 mu m wavelength (760 GHz) using a far-IR waveguide laser beam indicate efficiencies of 40%-55%. The angular response is primarily determined by the Winston cone, and is well predicted by geometric optics theory, i.e., approximately constant out to an angle determined by the ratio of input to throat diameters. The efficiencies are primarily determined by the transition section, and for all concentrators are consistent with an average reflectance of 94% from the gold-plated, electroformed, interior surfaces. For each individual concentrator, efficiency variations with polarization, angular orientation and beamsize are below the measurement uncertainty.

TI LOW-RESIDUE EUTHANASIA OF STRANDED MYSTICETES SO JOURNAL OF WILDLIFE DISEASES LA English DT Article DE Analgesia; beaching; drug residue; euthanasia; mysticete; relay toxicity; sedation; stranding ID JUVENILE FIN WHALE; PHARMACOKINETICS AB Euthanasia of stranded large whales poses logistic, safety, pharmaceutical, delivery, public relations, and disposal challenges. Reasonable arguments may be made for allowing a stranded whale to expire naturally. However, slow cardiovascular collapse from gravitational effects outside of neutral buoyancy, often combined with severely debilitating conditions, motivate humane efforts to end the animal's suffering. The size of the animal and prevailing environmental conditions often pose safety concerns for stranding personnel, which take priority over other considerations. When considering chemical euthanasia, the size of the animal also necessitates large quantities of euthanasia agents. Drug residues are a concern for relay toxicity to scavengers, particularly for pentobarbital-containing euthanasia solutions. Pentobarbital is also an environmental concern because of its stability and long persistence in aquatic environments. We describe a euthanasia technique for stranded mysticetes using readily available, relatively inexpensive, preanesthetic and anesthetic drugs (midazolam, acepromazine, xylazine) followed by saturated KCl delivered via custom-made needles and a low-cost, basic, pressurized canister. This method provides effective euthanasia while moderating personnel exposure to hazardous situations and minimizing drug residues of concern for relay toxicity.

Zepp, Richard TI Estimation of diffuse attenuation of ultraviolet light in optically shallow Florida Keys waters from MODIS measurements SO REMOTE SENSING OF ENVIRONMENT LA English DT Article DE Water clarity; Light penetration; Ultra-violet light; Remote sensing; Shallow water; Coral reef ID DISSOLVED ORGANIC-MATTER; OCEAN COLOR; COASTAL WATERS; ABSORPTION-COEFFICIENTS; PHYTOPLANKTON PIGMENTS; SPECTRAL ABSORPTION; SOUTH FLORIDA; REEF WATERS; CORAL-REEFS; RADIATION AB Diffuse attenuation of solar light (K-d, m(-1)) determines the percentage of light penetrating the water column and available for benthic organisms. Therefore, K-d can be used as an index of water quality for coastal ecosystems that are dependent on photosynthesis, such as the coral reef environments of the Florida Reef Tract. Ultraviolet (UV) light reaching corals can lead to reductions in photosynthetic capacity as well as DNA damage. Unfortunately, field measurements of K-d(UV) lack sufficient spatial and temporal coverage to derive statistically meaningful patterns, and it has been notoriously difficult to derive K-d in optically shallow waters from remote sensing due to bottom contamination. Here we describe an approach to derive K-d(UV) in optically shallow waters of the Florida Keys using variations in the spectral shape of MODIS-derived surface reflectance. The approach used a principal component analysis and stepwise multiple regression to parsimoniously select modes of variance in MODIS-derived reflectance data that best explained variance in concurrent in situ K-d(UV) measurements. The resulting models for K-d(UV) retrievals in waters 1-30 m deep showed strong positive relationships between derived and measured parameters [e.g., for K-d(305) ranging from 0.28 to 3.27 m(-1); N = 29; R-2 = 0.94]. The predictive capabilities of these models were further tested, also showing acceptable performance [for K-d(305), R2 = 0.92; bias = -0.02 m(-1); URMS = 23%]. The same approach worked reasonably well in deriving the absorption coefficient of colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) in UV wavelengths [a(g)(UV), m(-1)], as K-d(UV) is dominated by ag(UV). Application of the approach to MODIS data showed different spatial and temporal K-d(305) patterns than the K-d(488) patterns derived from a recently validated semi-analytical approach, suggesting that different mechanisms are controlling K-d in the UV and in the visible. Given the importance of water clarity and light availability to shallow-water flora and fauna, the new K-d(UV) and ag(UV) data products provide unprecedented information for assessing and monitoring of coral reef health, and could further assist ongoing regional protection efforts.

The wide swath of the SNPP Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) observed a historic event: 3 typhoons that all hit China mainland within 5 days. The Community Radiative Transfer Model (CRTM) provides critical supports to the SNPP instrumental validation and verification efforts. For example, the CRTM helped to verify image striping in the Advanced Technology Microwave Sounder (ATMS) upper atmosphere channels. The CRTM has also been used to characterize the ATMS radiometric bias and has led to the development of a complementary cloud screening method. Using the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) 6 h analysis data as inputs to the CRTM, we can statistically quantify the spectral bias for each field of view (FOV) of the Cross-track Infrared Sounder (CrIS). The CRTM is also a very useful tool for cross-sensor verifications. Using the double difference method, it can remove the biases caused by slight differences in the spectral response and geometric angles between two instruments. The CRTM helps our understanding on radiometric and spectral calibrations. It is the CRTM simulations that enable us to determine the root cause of the VIIRS shortwave infrared band image striping during daytime. The CRTM is operationally used at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) for weather forecasting and monitoring satellite radiance biases and standard deviation. This study also demonstrated the CRTM capability for Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite (OMPS) radiance simulations. The first result showed a good agreement between the measurement and simulation. The CRTM for OMPS limb sensing, and Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) shortwave radiation and long-wave radiation flux simulation capability need to be extended.

The amplitude of diurnal warming is computed from the difference between subskin and foundation temperature estimates derived independently from the Argo and SEVIRI data. The results demonstrate remarkable consistency between the observations, lending support for both products and the associated methodologies, particularly for the estimation of the foundation temperature. Individual subskin values agree to within an absolute mean difference of <= 0.1 K and standard deviations of the differences are <0.4 K. Statistics for comparison of the foundation temperatures are similar. Differences between the corresponding derived estimates of diurnal warming have negligible bias and standard deviations <0.25 K. The strong agreement of the diurnal warming estimates exists even when excluding nearly isothermal profiles, suggesting the differences are robust to small spatial offsets and point-to-pixel differences. The results particularly support the ability of the modified Argo floats to provide reliable, and highly valuable, measurements of the near-surface temperature, helping to argue for more modified floats. Moreover, the results suggest that the unpumped Argo data has the potential to provide an independent estimate of the foundation temperature for validation of SST analyses. The method for estimating the foundation temperature from SEVIRI represents a good compromise between data coverage and influences of cloud contamination and nighttime cooling. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc.

TI Modeling Coral Reef Fish Home Range Movements in Dry Tortugas, Florida SO SCIENTIFIC WORLD JOURNAL LA English DT Article ID MARINE PROTECTED AREAS; RESERVES; MANAGEMENT; FISHERIES; SIZE; AGGREGATIONS; ESTIMATORS; ECOSYSTEM; PATTERNS; BENEFITS AB Underestimation of reef fish space use may result in marine reserves that are too small to effectively buffer a portion of the stock from fishing mortality. Commonly used statistical home range models, such as minimum convex polygon (MCP) or 95% kernel density (95% KD) methods, require the exclusion of individuals who move beyond the bounds of the tracking study. Spatially explicit individual-based models of fish home range movements parameterized from multiple years of acoustic tracking data were developed for three exploited coral reef fishes (red grouper Epinephelus morio, black grouper Mycteroperca bonaci, and mutton snapper Lutjanus analis) in Dry Tortugas, Florida. Movements were characterized as a combination of probability of movement, distance moved, and turning angle. Simulations suggested that the limited temporal and geographic scope of most movement studies may underestimate home range size, especially for fish with home range centers near the edges of the array. Simulations provided useful upper bounds for home range size (red grouper: 2.28 +/- 0.81 km(2) MCP, 3.60 +/- 0.89 km(2) KD; black grouper: 2.06 +/- 0.84 km(2) MCP, 3.93 +/- 1.22 km(2) KD; mutton snapper: 7.72 +/- 2.23 km(2) MCP, 6.16 +/- 1.11 km(2) KD). Simulations also suggested that MCP home ranges are more robust to artifacts of passive array acoustic detection patterns than 95% KD methods.

The investigation focuses on the non-precipitating closed-cell state and the precipitating open-cell state at low geostrophic wind speed. The Advanced Research WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting) model is used to conduct cloud system-resolving simulations with interactive surface fluxes of sensible heat, latent heat, and of sea salt aerosol, and with a detailed representation of the interaction between aerosol particles and clouds. The mechanisms responsible for the temporal evolution and spatial distribution of the surface heat fluxes in the closed-and open-cell state are investigated and explained. It is found that the closed-cell state imposes its horizontal spatial structure on surface air temperature and water vapor, and, to a lesser degree, on the surface sensible and latent heat flux. The responsible mechanism is the entrainment of dry, free tropospheric air into the boundary layer. The open-cell state is associated with oscillations in surface air temperature, water vapor, and in the surface fluxes of sensible heat, latent heat, and of sea salt aerosol. Here, the responsible mechanism is the periodic formation of clouds, rain, and of cold and moist pools with elevated wind speed. Open-cell cloud formation, cloud optical depth and liquid water path, and cloud and rain water path are identified as good predictors of the horizontal spatial structure of surface air temperature and sensible heat flux, but not of surface water vapor and latent heat flux. It is shown that the open-cell state creates conditions conducive to its maintenance by enhancing the surface sensible heat flux. The open-cell state also enhances the sea salt flux relative to the closed-cell state. While the open-cell state under consideration is not depleted in aerosol and is insensitive to variations in sea salt fluxes, in aerosol-depleted conditions, the enhancement of the sea salt flux may replenish the aerosol needed for cloud formation and hence contribute to the maintenance of the open-cell state. Spatial homogenization of the surface fluxes is found to have only a small effect on cloud properties in the investigated cases.

TI Aerosol impacts on California winter clouds and precipitation during CalWater 2011: local pollution versus long-range transported dust SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID HETEROGENEOUS ICE NUCLEATION; WESTERN UNITED-STATES; OROGRAPHIC PRECIPITATION; ATMOSPHERIC AEROSOLS; NUMERICAL-SIMULATION; AIR-POLLUTION; MINERAL DUST; SNOW GROWTH; PART I; MODEL AB Mineral dust aerosols often observed over California in winter and spring, associated with long-range transport from Asia and the Sahara, have been linked to enhanced precipitation based on observations. Local anthropogenic pollution, on the other hand, was shown in previous observational and modeling studies to reduce precipitation. Here we incorporate recent developments in ice nucleation parameterizations to link aerosols with ice crystal formation in a spectralbin cloud microphysical model coupled with the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model in order to examine the relative and combined impacts of dust and local pollution particles on cloud properties and precipitation type and intensity. Simulations are carried out for two cloud cases (from the CalWater 2011 field campaign) with contrasting meteorology and cloud dynamics that occurred on 16 February (FEB16) and 2 March (MAR02). In both cases, observations show the presence of dust and biological particles in a relative pristine environment. The simulated cloud microphysical properties and precipitation show reasonable agreement with aircraft and surface measurements. Model sensitivity experiments indicate that in the pristine environment, the dust and biological aerosol layers increase the accumulated precipitation by 10-20 % from the Central Valley to the Sierra Nevada for both FEB16 and MAR02 due to a similar to 40% increase in snow formation, validating the observational hypothesis. Model results show that local pollution increases precipitation over the windward slope of the mountains by a few percent due to increased snow formation when dust is present, but reduces precipitation by 5-8% if dust is removed on FEB16. The effects of local pollution on cloud microphysics and precipitation strongly depend on meteorology, including cloud dynamics and the strength of the Sierra Barrier Jet. This study further underscores the importance of the interactions between local pollution, dust, and environmental conditions for assessing aerosol effects on cold-season precipitation in California.

TI Antarctic ozone variability inside the polar vortex estimated from balloon measurements SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID HEMISPHERE CLIMATE-CHANGE; SOUTHERN-HEMISPHERE; INTERANNUAL VARIABILITY; NORTHERN-HEMISPHERE; SEPTEMBER 2002; STRATOSPHERE; TRENDS; DEPLETION; TRANSPORT; RECOVERY AB Thirteen years of ozone soundings at the Antarctic Belgrano II station (78 degrees S, 34.6 degrees W) have been analysed to establish a climatology of stratospheric ozone and temperature over the area. The station is inside the polar vortex during the period of development of chemical ozone depletion. Weekly periodic profiles provide a suitable database for seasonal characterization of the evolution of stratospheric ozone, especially valuable during wintertime, when satellites and ground-based instruments based on solar radiation are not available. The work is focused on ozone loss rate variability (August-October) and its recovery (November-December) at different layers identified according to the severity of ozone loss. The time window selected for the calculations covers the phase of a quasi-linear ozone reduction, around day 220 (mid-August) to day 273 (end of September). Decrease of the total ozone column over Belgrano during spring is highly dependent on the meteorological conditions. Largest depletions (up to 59 %) are reached in coldest years, while warm winters exhibit significantly lower ozone loss (20 %). It has been found that about 11 % of the total 03 loss, in the layer where maximum depletion occurs, takes place before sunlight has arrived, as a result of transport to Belgrano of air from a somewhat lower latitude, near the edge of the polar vortex, providing evidence of mixing inside the vortex. Spatial homogeneity of the vortex has been examined by comparing Belgrano results with those previously obtained for South Pole station (SPS) for the same altitude range and for 9 yr of overlapping data. Results show more than 25 % higher ozone loss rate at SPS than at Belgrano. The behaviour can be explained taking into account (i) the transport to both stations of air from a somewhat lower latitude, near the edge of the polar vortex, where sunlight reappears sooner, resulting in earlier depletion of ozone, and (ii) the accumulated hours of sunlight, which become much greater at the South Pole after the spring equinox. According to the variability of the ozone hole recovery, a clear connection between the timing of the breakup of the vortex and the monthly ozone content was found. Minimum ozone concentration of 57 DU in the 12-24 km layer remained in November, when the vortex is more persistent, while in years when the final stratospheric warming took place "very early", mean integrated ozone rose by up to 160-180 DU.

TI A novel tropopause-related climatology of ozone profiles SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID INTERANNUAL VARIABILITY; MONITORING INSTRUMENT; ZONAL ASYMMETRY; TECHNICAL NOTE; STRATOSPHERE; TROPOSPHERE; QUALITY; MISSION; HEIGHT; TRENDS AB A new ozone climatology, based on ozonesonde and satellite measurements, spanning the altitude region between the earth's surface and similar to 60 km is presented (TpO(3) climatology). This climatology is novel in that the ozone profiles are categorized according to calendar month, latitude and local tropopause heights. Compared to the standard latitude-month categorization, this presentation improves the representativeness of the ozone climatology in the upper troposphere and the lower stratosphere (UTLS). The probability distribution of tropopause heights in each latitude-month bin provides additional climatological information and allows transforming/comparing the TpO(3) climatology to a standard climatology of zonal mean ozone profiles. The TpO(3) climatology is based on high-vertical-resolution measurements of ozone from the satellite-based Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment II (in 1984 to 2005) and from balloon-borne ozonesondes from 1980 to 2006. The main benefits of the TpO(3) climatology are reduced standard deviations on climatological ozone profiles in the UTLS, partial characterization of longitudinal variability, and characterization of ozone profiles in the presence of double tropopauses. The first successful application of the TpO(3) climatology as a priori in ozone profile retrievals from Ozone Monitoring Instrument on board the Earth Observing System (EOS) Aura satellite shows an improvement of ozone precision in UTLS of up to 10 % compared with the use of conventional climatologies. In addition to being advantageous for use as a priori in satellite retrieval algorithms, the TpO(3) climatology might be also useful for validating the representation of ozone in climate model simulations.

TI Online coupled regional meteorology chemistry models in Europe: current status and prospects SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID AIR-QUALITY MODELS; SECONDARY ORGANIC AEROSOL; NUMERICAL WEATHER PREDICTION; GENERAL-CIRCULATION MODEL; GLOBAL CLIMATE MODEL; CLOUD DROPLET FORMATION; ACID DEPOSITION MODEL; GAS-PHASE CHEMISTRY; INORGANIC MULTICOMPONENT AEROSOLS; PROGNOSTIC PHYSICOCHEMICAL MODEL AB Online coupled mesoscale meteorology atmospheric chemistry models have undergone a rapid evolution in recent years. Although mainly developed by the air quality modelling community, these models are also of interest for numerical weather prediction and regional climate modelling as they can consider not only the effects of meteorology on air quality, but also the potentially important effects of atmospheric composition on weather. Two ways of online coupling can be distinguished: online integrated and online access coupling. Online integrated models simulate meteorology and chemistry over the same grid in one model using one main time step for integration. Online access models use independent meteorology and chemistry modules that might even have different grids, but exchange meteorology and chemistry data on a regular and frequent basis. This article offers a comprehensive review of the current research status of online coupled meteorology and atmospheric chemistry modelling within Europe. Eighteen regional online coupled models developed or being used in Europe are described and compared. Topics discussed include a survey of processes relevant to the interactions between atmospheric physics, dynamics and composition; a brief overview of existing online mesoscale models and European model developments; an analysis on how feedback processes are treated in these models; numerical issues associated with coupled models; and several case studies and model performance evaluation methods. Finally, this article highlights selected scientific issues and emerging challenges that require proper consideration to improve the reliability and usability of these models for the three scientific communities: air quality, numerical meteorology modelling (including weather prediction) and climate modelling. This review will be of particular interest to model developers and users in all three fields as it presents a synthesis of scientific progress and provides recommendations for future research directions and priorities in the development, application and evaluation of online coupled models.

TI Near-surface meteorology during the Arctic Summer Cloud Ocean Study (ASCOS): evaluation of reanalyses and global climate models SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID SEA-ICE; GISS MODELE; AMPLIFICATION; SIMULATIONS; ATMOSPHERE; RADIATION; PROJECT; CONFIGURATION; AEROSOLS; FEEDBACK AB Atmospheric measurements from the Arctic Summer Cloud Ocean Study (ASCOS) are used to evaluate the performance of three atmospheric reanalyses (European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF)-Interim reanalysis, National Center for Environmental Prediction (NCEP)-National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) reanalysis, and NCEP-DOE (Department of Energy) reanalysis) and two global climate models (CAM5 (Community Atmosphere Model 5) and NASA GISS (Goddard Institute for Space Studies) ModelE2) in simulation of the high Arctic environment. Quantities analyzed include near surface meteorological variables such as temperature, pressure, humidity and winds, surface-based estimates of cloud and precipitation properties, the surface energy budget, and lower atmospheric temperature structure. In general, the models perform well in simulating large-scale dynamical quantities such as pressure and winds. Near-surface temperature and lower atmospheric stability, along with surface energy budget terms, are not as well represented due largely to errors in simulation of cloud occurrence, phase and altitude. Additionally, a development version of CAMS, which features improved handling of cloud macro physics, has demonstrated to improve simulation of cloud properties and liquid water amount. The ASCOS period additionally provides an excellent example of the benefits gained by evaluating individual budget terms, rather than simply evaluating the net end product, with large compensating errors between individual surface energy budget terms that result in the best net energy budget.

After a careful verification of the data measured, the ambient concentrations are used to analyze the spatial and seasonal variability of the anthropogenic NMHC and determine the present NMHC emission ratios relative to acetylene, a useful metric to evaluate and constraint emission inventories. We show that NMHC urban composition is consistent between all cities with no industrial influence and characteristic of the urban emission mixtures, which are mostly dominated by vehicle exhaust emissions. In winter, the urban NMHC composition generally shows an enhancement in combustion-derived products (alkenes, acetylene), C2-C3 alkanes and benzene, which presumes seasonal changes in emission ratio values. Present emission ratios of NMHC relative to acetylene are determined in Paris and Strasbourg both in summer and winter. They generally compare within a factor of two except for C7-C9 aromatics in Paris. On a seasonal basis, summertime emission ratios are three times higher than wintertime ones while they stay constant for combustion derived product (alkenes) and benzene. The unburned gasoline fraction (alkanes and C7-C9 aromatics) shows the maximum difference up to a factor of seven. These findings suggest that the emission ratios reflect seasonal changes in emissions and can be a useful metric to constraint temporally resolved emission inventories at different time of the year.

As a result, transport properties are frequently measured as an indication of the durability that a concrete mixture may be expected to have. This paper is the second in a series investigating the performance of high volume fly ash (HVFA) mixtures with low water-to-cementitious ratios (w/cm) that are internally cured. While the first paper focused on strength and shrinkage, this paper presents the evaluation of the transport properties of these mixtures. Specifically, the paper presents results from: rapid chloride migration (RCM), rapid chloride penetration test (RCPT), apparent chloride diffusion coefficient, surface electrical resistivity, and water absorption. The test matrix consisted of mortar samples with two levels of class C fly ash replacement (40% and 60% by volume) with and without internal curing provided with pre-wetted lightweight fine aggregates (LWA). These mixtures are compared to plain ordinary portland cement (OPC) mortars. The results indicate that HVFA mixtures with and without internal curing provide benefits in terms of reduced transport coefficients compared to the OPC mixtures. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

SO ECOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS LA English DT Article DE catch shares; free riding; impure public goods; International Whaling Commission; marine conservation; market-based regulation; whale meat; whaling ID PROPERTY-RIGHTS; FISHERIES; POLICY; ECONOMICS; MARKETS AB We critique a proposal to use catch shares to manage transboundary wildlife resources with potentially high non-extractive values, and we focus on the case of whales. Because whales are impure public goods, a policy that fails to capture all nonmarket benefits (due to free riding) could lead to a suboptimal outcome. Even if free riding were overcome, whale shares would face four implementation challenges. First, a whale share could legitimize the international trade in whale meat and expand the whale meat market. Second, a legal whale trade creates monitoring and enforcement challenges similar to those of organizations that manage highly migratory species such as tuna. Third, a whale share could create a new political economy of management that changes incentives and increases costs for nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) to achieve the current level of conservation. Fourth, a whale share program creates new logistical challenges for quota definition and allocation regardless of whether the market for whale products expands or contracts. Each of these issues, if left unaddressed, could result in lower overall welfare for society than under the status quo.

We demonstrate the magnitude of this previously unquantified source of mortality and its implications for the population dynamics of exploited stocks, biological metrics, stock productivity, and optimal management. Non-retention in commercial gillnet fisheries for Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) is common and often leads to delayed mortality in spawning populations. This represents losses, not only to fishery harvest, but also in future recruitment to exploited stocks. We estimated incidence of non-retention in Alaskan gillnet fisheries for sockeye salmon (O. nerka) and found disentanglement injuries to be extensive and highly variable between years. Injuries related to non-retention were noted in all spawning populations, and incidence of injury ranged from 6% to 44% of escaped salmon across nine river systems over five years. We also demonstrate that non-retention rates strongly correlate with fishing effort. We applied maximum likelihood and Bayesian approaches to stock-recruitment analyses, discounting estimates of spawning salmon to account for fishery-related mortality in escaped fish. Discounting spawning stock estimates as a function of annual fishing effort improved model fits to historical stock-recruitment data in most modeled systems. This suggests the productivity of exploited stocks has been systematically underestimated. It also suggests that indices of fishing effort may be used to predict escape mortality and correct for losses. Our results illustrate how explicitly accounting for collateral effects of fishery extraction may improve estimates of productivity and better inform management metrics derived from estimates of stock-recruitment analyses.

However, efforts to mitigate bycatch are often hindered by a lack of data on the distributions of fishing effort and protected species. One approach to overcoming this problem has been to overlay the distribution of past fishing effort with known locations of protected species, often obtained through satellite telemetry and occurrence data, to identify potential bycatch hotspots. This approach, however, generates static bycatch risk maps, calling into question their ability to forecast into the future, particularly when dealing with spatiotemporally dynamic fisheries and highly migratory bycatch species. In this study, we use boosted regression trees to model the spatiotemporal distribution of fishing effort for two distinct fisheries in the North Pacific Ocean, the albacore (Thunnus alalunga) troll fishery and the California drift gillnet fishery that targets swordfish (Xiphias gladius). Our results suggest that it is possible to accurately predict fishing effort using <10 readily available predictor variables (cross-validated correlations between model predictions and observed data approximate to 0.6). Although the two fisheries are quite different in their gears and fishing areas, their respective models had high predictive ability, even when input data sets were restricted to a fraction of the full time series. The implications for conservation and management are encouraging: Across a range of target species, fishing methods, and spatial scales, even a relatively short time series of fisheries data may suffice to accurately predict the location of fishing effort into the future. In combination with species distribution modeling of bycatch species, this approach holds promise as a mitigation tool when observer data are limited. Even in data-rich regions, modeling fishing effort and bycatch may provide more accurate estimates of bycatch risk than partial observer coverage for fisheries and bycatch species that are heavily influenced by dynamic oceanographic conditions.

However, there has been little independent evaluation of the precision and accuracy of the life history values in global and publicly available databases. We therefore develop a novel method based on a Bayesian errors-in-variables model that compares database entries with estimates from local experts, and we illustrate this process by assessing the accuracy and precision of entries in FishBase, one of the largest and oldest life history databases. This model distinguishes biases among seven life history parameters, two types of information available in FishBase (i.e., published values and those estimated from other parameters), and two taxa (i.e., bony and cartilaginous fishes) relative to values from regional experts in the United States, while accounting for additional variance caused by sex- and region-specific life history traits. For published values in FishBase, the model identifies a small positive bias in natural mortality and negative bias in maximum age, perhaps caused by unacknowledged mortality caused by fishing. For life history values calculated by FishBase, the model identified large and inconsistent biases. The model also demonstrates greatest precision for body size parameters, decreased precision for values derived from geographically distant populations, and greatest between-sex differences in age at maturity. We recommend that our bias and precision estimates be used in future errors-in-variables models as a prior on measurement errors. This approach is broadly applicable to global databases of life history traits and, if used, will encourage further development and improvements in these databases.

For the first experiment, heating to obtain tire ignition was initiated on the exterior of the passenger side tag axle wheel and for the second, on the exterior of the passenger side drive axle wheel. Measurements of interior and exterior temperatures, interior heat flux, and heat release rate were performed. Standard and infrared videos and still photographs were recorded. Both experiments showed that the tire fires ignited the plastic fender and glass-reinforced plastic exterior side panel (below the windows) upon which the fires spread quickly and penetrated the passenger compartment by breaking the windows. Measurements showed that other potential fire penetration routes (flooring and lavatory) lagged far behind the windows in heating and degradation. Copyright (c) 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Little is known about humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) dispersal and migration in the western Indian Ocean. In October 2011 and 2012, eleven satellite transmitters were deployed on wintering humpback whales from the south-western Indian Ocean breeding stock at the Comoros islands (Moheli, n = 6 and Mayotte, n = 5). Eight individuals were successfully tracked for 243 +/- 12.4 days (range = 8749 days) and travelled between 146 km and 5804 km in total. Whales either remained at their wintering site for several weeks (n = 3) or dispersed along the west coast (n = 4) or east (n = 1) coast of Madagascar where two main stop-over sites were identified. In addition, two individuals travelled along straight paths to distant, potential, foraging areas. One whale reached the French sub-Antarctic islands while the other travelled to one of the supposed Antarctic foraging areas for humpback whales of this breeding stock. This is the first time movements of humpback whales from this area are being described and their potential foraging areas in the Southern Ocean identified. Identification of these dispersal patterns is important for delineation of breeding regions and for allocating abundance estimates to stocks. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Adults can dive deeper than 1200 m and have core body temperatures of 25 degrees C; hatchlings are near-surface dwellers. Juvenile leatherbacks have rarely been studied; here we present anatomical information for the upper respiratory tract of 3 turtles (66.7-83.0 cm straight carapace length; 33.2-53.4 kg body mass) incidentally captured by long-line fisheries. Combined with existing information from adults and hatchlings, our data show that there is an ontogenic shift in tracheal structure, with cartilaginous rings becoming broader and eventually fusing anteriorly. This ontogenic shift during independent existence is unique among extant deep-diving air breathing vertebrates. Tract wall thickness is graded, becoming progressively thinner from larynx to bronchi. In addition, cross-sectional shape becomes increasingly dorsoventrally flattened (more elliptical) from anterior to posterior. These characteristics ensure that the tract will collapse from posterior to anterior during dives. This study contains the first report of a double (=internally bifurcated) posterior section of the trachea; it is suggested that this allows continuous food movement along the esophagus without tracheal collapse. The whole upper respiratory tract (from larynx to lungs) has a vascular lining (thicker anteriorly than posteriorly) that appears to be a simple analog of the complex turbinates of birds and mammals. Our study confirmed that the leatherback tracheal structure represents a distinctive way of dealing with the challenges of diving in deep, cold sea water. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Weight-based growth of Scup was measured for three 1-week intervals during a 6-week feeding experiment and showed a significant positive correlation with both RNA concentration (RNA; g/mg tissue wet weight) and DNA concentration (DNA; g/mg tissue wet weight), while the RNA: DNA ratio was not significantly correlated with the weight- or length-based growth rate. The concentration of DNA showed a significant negative correlation with length-based growth rate. Mean fish weight increased from 1.022 to 10.404g, and mean TL increased from 43.219 to 85.377mm. Changes in nucleic acid indices were measured in fish that were deprived of food over a 9-d period. The RNA and RNA: DNA ratio values declined significantly within 5 d after fasting began, while DNA remained relatively stable. This study provides baseline nucleic acid values for fed and starved juvenile Scup over a range of fish sizes.

TI ISRM-Suggested Method for Determining the Mode I Static Fracture Toughness Using Semi-Circular Bend Specimen SO ROCK MECHANICS AND ROCK ENGINEERING LA English DT Article DE Rock fracture mechanics; Mode I fracture toughness; Semi-circular bend specimen; Fracture testing; Sedimentary rock; In situ environment ID ROCK; PARAMETERS; LIMESTONE; GEOMETRY AB The International Society for Rock Mechanics has so far developed two standard methods for the determination of static fracture toughness of rock. They used three different core-based specimens and tests were to be performed on a typical laboratory compression or tension load frame. Another method to determine the mode I fracture toughness of rock using semi-circular bend specimen is herein presented. The specimen is semi-circular in shape and made from typical cores taken from the rock with any relative material directions noted. The specimens are tested in three-point bending using a laboratory compression test instrument. The failure load along with its dimensions is used to determine the fracture toughness. Most sedimentary rocks which are layered in structure may exhibit fracture properties that depend on the orientation and therefore measurements in more than one material direction may be necessary. The fracture toughness measurements are expected to yield a size-independent material property if certain minimum specimen size requirements are satisfied. C1 [Kuruppu, M.

TI Probing many-body interactions in an optical lattice clock SO ANNALS OF PHYSICS LA English DT Article DE Atomic clocks; Optical lattice; Collisions ID QUANTUM; METROLOGY; ATOMS; DYNAMICS; SPINS; FIELD AB We present a unifying theoretical framework that describes recently observed many-body effects during the interrogation of an optical lattice clock operated with thousands of fermionic alkaline earth atoms. The framework is based on a many-body master equation that accounts for the interplay between elastic and inelastic p-wave and s-wave interactions, finite temperature effects and excitation inhomogeneity during the quantum dynamics of the interrogated atoms. Solutions of the master equation in different parameter regimes are presented and compared. It is shown that a general solution can be obtained by using the so called Truncated Wigner Approximation which is applied in our case in the context of an open quantum system. We use the developed framework to model the density shift and decay of the fringes observed during Ramsey spectroscopy in the JILA Sr-87 and NIST Yb-171 optical lattice clocks. The developed framework opens a suitable path for dealing with a variety of strongly-correlated and driven open-quantum spin systems. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. C1 [Rey, A.

TI Changing Ecosystem Dynamics in the Laurentian Great Lakes: Bottom-Up and Top-Down Regulation SO BIOSCIENCE LA English DT Article DE invasive species; wasp-waist ecosystems; multiple stressors; regime shift; trophic cascade ID CHINOOK SALMON; FOOD-WEB; TROPHIC CASCADES; FISH COMMUNITY; MICHIGAN; HURON; ALEWIVES; ONTARIO; TROUT; ERIE AB Understanding the relative importance of top-down and bottom-up regulation of ecosystem structure is a fundamental ecological question, with implications for fisheries and water-quality management. For the Laurentian Great Lakes, where, since the early 1970s, nutrient inputs have been reduced, whereas top-predator biomass has increased, we describe trends across multiple trophic levels and explore their underlying drivers. Our analyses revealed increasing water clarity and declines in phytoplankton, native invertebrates, and prey fish since 1998 in at least three of the five lakes. Evidence for bottom-up regulation was strongest in Lake Huron, although each lake provided support in at least one pair of trophic levels. Evidence for top-down regulation was rare. Although nonindigenous dreissenid mussels probably have large impacts on nutrient cycling and phytoplankton, their effects on higher trophic levels remain uncertain. We highlight gaps for which monitoring and knowledge should improve the understanding of food-web dynamics and facilitate the implementation of ecosystem-based management.

Baseline tests were conducted in air, and those results were compared with tests conducted in pressurized hydrogen gas. All tests were run at (load ratio) R=0.5 and a frequency of 1 Hz, except for one test on X100, run at 0.1 Hz. Tests were conducted at hydrogen pressures of 1.7 MPa, 7 MPa, 21 MPa, and 48 MPa. Fatigue crack growth rates for both X100 and X52 were significantly higher in a pressurized hydrogen environment than in air. This enhanced growth rate appears to correlate to pressure for X100 but may not for X52. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Changes in synthesis conditions lead to millimetre-sized MOF-5 crystals in a high yield. Subsequent carbonization of the MOFs yield HPCs with simultaneously high surface area, up to 2734 m(2) g(-1), and exceptionally high total pore volume, up to 5.53 cm(3) g(-1). In the HPCs, micropores are mostly retained and meso- and macro- pores are generated from defects in the individual crystals, which is made possible by structural inheritance from the MOF precursor. The resulting HPCs show a significant amount of CO2 adsorption, over 27 mmol g(-1) (119 wt%) at 30 bar and 27 degrees C, which is one of the highest values reported in the literature for porous carbons. The findings are comparatively analysed with the literature. The results show great potential for the development of high capacity carbon-based sorbents for effective pre-combustion CO2 capture and other gas and energy storage applications.

TI Tissue-based environmental quality benchmarks and standards SO ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH LA English DT Article DE Tissue benchmarks; Weight of evidence; Environmental risk assessment; Tissue-residue approach; Environmental quality standards AB Although the use of tissue concentrations (residues) of chemical contaminants as the dose metric to characterize chemical toxicity to aquatic organisms has been gaining acceptance over the past 20 years, tissue concentrations are less commonly used in water quality management and have yet to be formally adopted as benchmarks or environmental quality standards (EQS). This synthesis paper addresses advantages and disadvantages for the development and application of tissue-based EQS as an alternative and supplement to exposure-based EQS determined with water and sediment concentration data. Tissue-based EQS can be readily developed in parallel with conventional toxicity tests, and achieved by quantification of chemical concentrations in tissue alongside traditional concentration-response toxicity testing. Tissue-residue toxicity metrics can be used as benchmarks for screening and monitoring water and sediment quality, to derive equivalent water or sediment EQS, and for ecological risk assessments and weight of evidence approaches for assessing ecosystem impairment. Tissue-based toxicity metrics and associated EQS provide several advantages; however, there are some limitations to consider and key knowledge gaps to fill.

Researchers in this interdisciplinary field must be informed enough to ask the right questions, to find and understand the right data that ultimately provide scientifically sound information to help people make the right decision. This requires active recognition of the need to really understand the caveats and best uses of a particular dataset or product. Some more widely used data and products such as those developed for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change may have well-defined tutorials and use parameters. In most cases, however, it is wiser to find the owner or originator of the data, and work with them to ensure appropriate use of the data and therefore robust scientific findings that inform decisions and move this interdisciplinary field forward in both science and policy contexts.

TI The Autocorrelation Spectral Density for Doppler-Weather-Radar Signal Analysis SO IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON GEOSCIENCE AND REMOTE SENSING LA English DT Article DE Autocorrelation estimation; autocorrelation spectral density (ASD); clutter filtering; Doppler weather radar; signal processing; spectral analysis ID WINDOWS; MOMENTS; ECHOES AB Time-domain autocovariance processing is widely accepted as a computationally efficient method to estimate the first three spectral moments of Doppler weather radar signals (i.e., mean signal power, mean Doppler velocity, and spectrum width). However, when signals with different frequency content (e. g., ground clutter) contaminate the weather signal, spectral processing using the periodogram estimator of the power spectral density (PSD) is the preferred tool of analysis. After spectral processing (i.e., filtering), a PSD-based autocorrelation estimator is typically employed to produce unbiased estimates of the weather-signal spectral moments. However, the PSD does not convey explicit phase information, which has the potential to aid in the spectral analysis of radar signals. In this paper, the autocorrelation spectral density (ASD) is introduced for spectral analysis of weather-radar signals as a generalization of the classical PSD, and an ASD-based autocorrelation estimator is proposed to produce unbiased estimates of the weather-signal spectral moments. A significant advantage of the ASD over the PSD is that it provides explicit phase information that can be exploited to identify and remove certain types of contaminant signals. Thus, the ASD provides an alternative means for spectral analysis, which can lead to improved quality of meteorological data from weather radars.

While most GPS users concentrate on the signal that travels directly from the satellite to the antenna, the signal that is reflected by nearby surfaces contains information about the environment surrounding the antenna. The interference between the direct and reflected signals produces a modulation that can be observed in temporal variations of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) data recorded by the GPS receiver. Changes in the dielectric constant of the soil, which are associated with fluctuations in soil moisture, affect the effective reflector height, amplitude, and phase of the multipath modulation. Empirical studies have shown that these changes in SNR data are correlated with near-surface volumetric soil moisture. This study uses an electrodynamic single-scattering forward model to test the empirical relationships observed in field data. All three GPS interferogram metrics (effective reflector height, phase, and amplitude) are affected by soil moisture in the top 5 cm of the soil; surface soil moisture (< 1-cm depth) exerts the strongest control. Soil type exerts a negligible impact on the relationships between GPS interferogram metrics and soil moisture. Phase is linearly correlated with surface soil moisture. The slope of the relationship is similar to that observed in field data. Amplitude and effective reflector height are also affected by soil moisture, although the relationship is nonlinear. Phase is the best metric derived from GPS data to use as a proxy for soil moisture variations. C1 [Chew, Clara C.; Small, Eric E.] Univ Colorado, Dept Geol Sci, Boulder, CO 80309 USA.

The decomposition process is driven by the high surface temperatures that are typical of the film boiling regime that can promote chemical change of superheated vapors in a low temperature liquid. The decomposition products are carried away from the tube by vapor bubbles formed at the top of the tube that then percolate through the system. For the experiments reported here, the bulk liquid is stagnant, the liquid is slightly subcooled, and bubble transport is entirely by buoyancy. The results show that the primary decomposition products are acetic acid and ethylene in proportions consistent with the accepted unimolecular decomposition pathway for ethyl acetate. While ethylene is a non-condensable product gas, acetic acid is miscible in ethyl acetate and small amounts of it were detected in the bulk liquid after four hours of operation. The resulting binary (ethyl acetate/acetic acid) phase equilibrium behavior of the reactant pool contributed to trace amounts of carbon dioxide and methane being found in the product gas from acetic acid decomposition that had preferentially vaporized in the film. The minimum film boiling temperature of ethyl acetate was measured to be approximately 711 K. Up to about 1000 K the product yields showed a comparatively small variation with average tube temperature, while above 1000 K the exhaust gas flow rate was substantial and increased in an approximately linear fashion with tube temperature. Methane and carbon dioxide were also detected in the product stream owing to acetic acid decomposition, though the amounts were comparatively small. The results show the viability for film boiling to promote decomposition in a controlled way to products consistent with those expected from the reactant molecule. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

Accurate values of the argon-to-helium viscosity ratio are now used for primary acoustic gas thermometry and for the most accurate redeterminations of the Boltzmann constant. Accurate viscosity ratio measurements enable the calibration of laminar flow meters with surrogate gases and their use with process gases. We review ratio viscometers that comprise one, two, and four capillaries. A single capillary is a ratio viscometer when it is used to measure multiple gases sequentially, while two- and four-capillary viscometers are instruments intended for ratio measurements. We consider gases and Newtonian liquids, with a focus on the two-capillary gas viscometer and its extension to pressures up to 100 MPa. A single-capillary viscometer could measure the ratio (viscosity of liquid water)/(viscosity of gaseous helium) thereby reducing the uncertainty of the liquid viscosity scale relative to the international system of units.

The mechanisms responsible for this redistribution remain poorly understood. This work uses an Earth system model to evaluate the global steady-state ocean buoyancy (and related steric sea level) budget, its interannual variability, and its transient response to a doubling of CO2 over 70 years, with a focus on the deep ocean. At steady state, the simple view of vertical advective-diffusive balance for the deep ocean holds at low to midlatitudes. At higher latitudes, the balance depends on a myriad of additional terms, namely mesoscale and submesoscale advection, convection and overflows from marginal seas, and terms related to the nonlinear equation of state. These high-latitude processes rapidly communicate anomalies in surface buoyancy forcing to the deep ocean locally; the deep, high-latitude changes then influence the large-scale advection of buoyancy to create transient deep buoyancy anomalies at lower latitudes. Following a doubling of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations, the high-latitude buoyancy sinks are suppressed by a slowdown in convection and reduced dense water formation. This change is accompanied by a slowing of both upper and lower cells of the global meridional overturning circulation, reducing the supply of dense water to low latitudes beneath the pycnocline and the commensurate flow of light waters to high latitudes above the pycnocline. By this mechanism, changes in high-latitude buoyancy are communicated to the global deep ocean on relatively fast advective time scales.

Though the model is constructed from 1-week lag statistics, it successfully reproduces the observed anomaly evolution through lead times of 90 days, allowing an estimation of the relative roles of coupling and internal atmospheric and oceanic forcing upon North Pacific SSTs. It is found that east of the date line, SST variability is maintained by, but has little effect on, T-A variability. However, in the Kuroshio-Oyashio confluence and extension region, about half of the SST variability is independent of T-A, driven instead by SST noise forcing internal to the ocean. Including surface zonal winds in the analysis does not alter this conclusion, suggesting T-A adequately represents the atmosphere. Repeating the analysis with the output of two control simulations from a fully coupled global climate model (GCM) differing only in their ocean resolution yields qualitatively similar results. However, for the simulation employing the coarse-resolution (1 degrees) ocean model, all SST variability depends upon T-A, apparently caused by a near absence of ocean-induced noise forcing. Collectively, these results imply that a strong contribution from internal oceanic forcing drives SST variability in the Kuroshio-Oyashio region, which may be used as a justification for atmospheric GCM experiments forced with SST anomalies in that region alone. This conclusion is unaffected by increasing the dimensionality of the model to allow for intrabasin interaction. C1 [Smirnov, Dimitry; Newman, Matthew] Univ Colorado, CIRES, Boulder, CO 80309 USA.

TI Interhemispheric Teleconnections from Tropical Heat Sources in Intermediate and Simple Models SO JOURNAL OF CLIMATE LA English DT Article DE Nonlinear dynamics; Rossby waves; Teleconnections; Baroclinic models; Primitive equations model ID SEA-SURFACE TEMPERATURE; NINO-SOUTHERN-OSCILLATION; BAROTROPIC ROSSBY WAVES; ATLANTIC WARM POOL; EL-NINO; CIRCULATION MODEL; CONVECTIVE PARAMETERIZATION; EXTRATROPICAL RESPONSE; NONLINEAR-INTERACTION; ATMOSPHERIC RESPONSE AB The mechanisms that control the interhemispheric teleconnections from tropical heat sources are investigated using an intermediate complexity model [a quasi-equilibrium tropical circulation model (QTCM)] and a simple linear two-level model with dry dynamics. Illustrating the interhemispheric teleconnection process with an Atlantic warm pool principal case, the heat source directly excites a baroclinic response that spreads across the equator. Then, three processes involving baroclinic-barotropic interactionsshear advection, surface drag, and vertical advectionforce a cross-equatorial barotropic Rossby wave response. An analysis of these processes in QTCM simulations indicates that 1) shear advection has a pattern that roughly coincides with the baroclinic signal in the tropics and subtropics, 2) surface drag has large amplitude and spatial extent and can be very effective in forcing barotropic motions around the globe, and 3) vertical advection has a significant contribution locally and remotely where large vertical motions and vertical shear occur. The simple model is modified to perform experiments in which each of these three mechanisms may be included or omitted. By adding surface drag and vertical advection, and comparing each to shear advection, the effects of the three mechanisms on the generation and propagation of the barotropic Rossby waves are shown to be qualitatively similar to the results in QTCM. It is also found that the moist processes included in the QTCM can feed back on the teleconnection process and alter the teleconnection pattern by enlarging the prescribed tropical heating in both intensity and geographical extent and by inducing remote precipitation anomalies by interaction with the basic state.

With the introduction of regulations for As species in foodstuffs and for environmental control, it has become more important to quantify the amount of arsenic species present. To address this concern new reference materials (RMs) for validation and quality assurance of As speciation measurements are being developed, including a tuna fish tissue and a robalo liver tissue. Instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) is used in this work as a proven analytical tool for As determinations and for validating the As mass fraction determined by liquid chromatography coupled to inductively coupled mass spectrometry (LC-ICP-MS) in extracts of the candidate RMs and other fish samples including certified RMs. Various methods for the extraction of water-soluble As species were evaluated. The best results were acquired after methanol/acetone/water extraction yielding in 93 % extractable As in the tuna RM. This procedure was used for the LC-ICP-MS studies. The results demonstrate that INAA can account for 100 % of the distribution of As species in analytical processes. It complements LC-ICP-MS for the validation of the characterization of As species in the development of RMs for such species. Excellent agreement of measured results in certified RMs with the reported values confirms the validity of the applied procedures. C1 [Carioni, Vivian M.

The present work describes two different analytical applications of delayed neutron activation for the analysis of biological and environmental samples, respectively. In the first application, DNAA was utilized to determine the natural uranium content in NIST standard reference materials (SRM) 1547 peach leaves and 1573a tomato leaves. Measured uranium mass fractions are comparable to the non-certified values listed on the certificates for these materials. In the second application, delayed neutron activation is coupled with instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) for the measurement of rare earth elements (REE) (cerium, lanthanum, neodymium, and ytterbium) in NIST SRM 2586, Trace Elements in Soil Containing Lead from Paint. DNAA was utilized to determine the uranium mass fraction in SRM 2586 for the subsequent application of a correction factor to account for cerium, lanthanum, and neodymium produced as part of the INAA irradiation. Measured and corrected mass fractions for the REEs described here are all within the uncertainty limits provided on the NIST certificate for SRM 2586. These results and the demonstrated sensitivity of the DNAA system establish and validate the use of this method for the determination of REEs and for potential nuclear forensics applications.

Several irradiated samples of each pure element were counted continually through several half-lives, acquiring up to 100 spectra with good statistics. Photopeaks from each nuclide were evaluated with a region of interest integration routine, and each data point corrected for rate-related losses before fitting to an exponential function by a nonlinear least-squares procedure. The half-lives found are 3.204 +/- A 0.008 h for Y-90m and 2.836 +/- A 0.014 days for Ru-97, where the uncertainty is an estimate of the 95 % confidence level. Although (by Chi squared criteria) the fits to the decay curves were very good and the uncertainty of the resulting half-lives an order of magnitude smaller than the previously published uncertainty, care is necessary before assigning a best value with a totally defensible uncertainty to the overall data set.

TI Use of Genetic Stock Identification Data for Comparison of the Ocean Spatial Distribution, Size at Age, and Fishery Exposure of an Untagged Stock and Its Indicator: California Coastal versus Klamath River Chinook Salmon SO TRANSACTIONS OF THE AMERICAN FISHERIES SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID WIRE TAG RECOVERIES; BRITISH-COLUMBIA; NORTH-AMERICA; ONCORHYNCHUS; POPULATIONS; MIGRATION; PATTERNS; BEARS; MODEL AB Managing weak stocks in mixed-stock fisheries often relies on proxies derived from data-rich indicator stocks, although there have been limited tests of the appropriateness of such proxies. For example, full cohort reconstruction of tagged Klamath River fall-run Chinook Salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha of northern California enables the use of detailed models to inform management. Information gained from this stock is also used in the management of the untagged, threatened California Coastal Chinook Salmon (CCC) stock, where it is assumed that a cap on Klamath harvest rates effectively constrains impacts on CCC to acceptable levels. To evaluate use of this proxy, we used a novel approach based on genetic stock identification (GSI) data to compare the two stocks' size at age and ocean distribution (as inferred from spatial variation in CPUE), two key factors influencing fishery exposure. We developed broadly applicable methods to account for both sampling and genetic assignment uncertainty in estimating total stock-specific catch from GSI data, and propagated this uncertainty into models quantifying variation in CPUE across space and time. We found that, in 2010, the stocks were similar in size at age early in the year (age 3 and age 4), but CCC fish were larger later in the year. The stocks appeared similarly distributed early in the year (2010) but more concentrated near their respective source rivers later in the year (2010 and 2011). If these results are representative, relative fishery impacts on the two stocks might scale similarly early in the year, but management changes later in the year could have differing impacts on the two stocks. This novel modeling approach is suited to evaluating the concordance between other data-limited stocks and their proxies, and can be broadly applied to estimate stock-specific harvest, and the uncertainty therein, using GSI in other systems.

TI Population Structure of Steelhead in Coastal California SO TRANSACTIONS OF THE AMERICAN FISHERIES SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID TROUT ONCORHYNCHUS-MYKISS; CROSS-SPECIES AMPLIFICATION; MULTILOCUS GENOTYPE DATA; SALMON SALMO-SALAR; RAINBOW-TROUT; MICROSATELLITE LOCI; ATLANTIC SALMON; GENETIC DIVERSITY; NORTH-AMERICAN; CLARKI-CLARKI AB Steelhead Oncorhynchus mykiss are the most widespread of the Pacific salmonids Oncorhynchus spp. and are found in nearly all basins within their native range around the northern Pacific Rim. Here, we elucidate genetic population structure of steelhead in coastal basins from most of their coastal-California range using variation at 15 microsatellite loci. Juvenile fish from 60 streams in 40 river basins were sampled in a single year from a single cohort. As samples of juvenile salmonids often contain sibling groups, a method was implemented to identify and eliminate all but one member of larger sibships. This, in conjunction with a rigorous sampling protocol and hierarchical sampling design, provided substantially improved resolution for understanding patterns of migration and demography. A pattern of isolation by distance was evident, as indicated by both phylograms that were largely concordant with geography and a significant regression of genetic distance on geographic distance, indicating that population structure is largely determined by migration that is dependent upon geographic distance. Within-basin genetic distances tended to be smaller than those between basins, although there was substantial overlap between them. Using a Bayesian clustering method to evaluate signals of population structure above the level of a river basin, four geographic sites were identified where genetic composition shifted abruptly. These areas largely correspond to major geographic features of the coastline: San Francisco and Humboldt bays and two extended sections of coast (the so-called Lost Coast and Russian Gulch areas) with no streams reaching inland more than several kilometers. Only one of these boundaries is concordant with the current delineation of steelhead Distinct Population Segments designated under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. Finally, there was a strong correlation between latitude and genetic variation, with fewer alleles present in the south, a pattern consistent with generally smaller population sizes in the south.

Yet little is known about the spatial and temporal distributions of these ESUs immediately following ocean entry, when year-class success may be determined. We documented differences in dispersal patterns during the early ocean period among groups defined by ESU, adult run timing, and smolt age. Between 1995 and 2006, 1,896 coded-wire-tagged juvenile fish from the Columbia River basin were recovered during 6,142 research trawl events along the West Coast of North America. Three distinct ocean dispersal patterns were observed: (1) age-1 (yearling) mid and upper Columbia River spring-run and Snake River spring-summer-run Chinook Salmon migrated rapidly northward and by late summer were not found south of Vancouver Island; (2) age-0 (subyearling) lower Columbia River fall, upper Columbia River summer, upper Columbia River fall, and Snake River fall Chinook Salmon dispersed slowly, remaining mainly south of Vancouver Island through autumn; and (3) age-1 lower Columbia River spring, upper Columbia River summer, and upper Willamette River spring Chinook Salmon and Coho Salmon were widespread along the coast from summer through fall, indicating a diversity of dispersal rates. Generally, the ocean dispersal of age-1 fish was faster and more extensive than that of age-0 fish, with some age-1 fish migrating as fast as 10-40km/d (0.5-3.0 body lengths/s). Within groups, interannual variation in dispersal was moderate. Identification of the distinct temporal and spatial ocean distribution patterns of juvenile salmon from Columbia River basin ESUs is important in order to evaluate the potential influence of changing ocean conditions on the survival and long term sustainability of these fish populations.

Together with the host star's Ly alpha and far-UV (117-170 nm) radiation, EUV radiation photodissociates important molecules, thereby changing the chemistry in exoplanet atmospheres. Since stellar EUV fluxes cannot now be measured and interstellar neutral hydrogen completely obscures stellar radiation between 40 and 91.2 nm, even for the nearest stars, we must estimate the unobservable EUV flux by indirect methods. New non-LTE semiempirical models of the solar chromosphere and corona and solar irradiance measurements show that the ratio of EUV flux in a variety of wavelength bands to the Ly alpha flux varies slowly with the Ly alpha flux and thus with the magnetic heating rate. This suggests and we confirm that solar EUV/Ly alpha flux ratios based on the models and observations are similar to the available 10-40 nm flux ratios observed with the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) satellite and the 91.2-117 nm flux observed with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) satellite for F5 V-M5 V stars. We provide formulae for predicting EUV flux ratios based on the EUVE and FUSE stellar data and on the solar models, which are essential input for modeling the atmospheres of exoplanets.

To examine this, we modeled the short-term outmigration probability of four coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) populations in three distinct geographic regions in relation to photoperiod, temperature, streamflow, lunar phase, and interactions among these variables. For smolts in Deer and Flynn creeks, Oregon (1960-1972), migration probability was influenced by numerous factors, including photoperiod, temperature (absolute and change), flow (absolute and change), and lunar phase, with certain factors interacting. Smolts from Carnation Creek, British Columbia (1972-1986) responded to a similarly diverse suite of factors (excluding lunar phase), though in somewhat different ways. In contrast, migration timing of smolts in Sashin Creek, Alaska (1959-1969) was best explained by a model that included only photoperiod, temperature, and the interaction between these terms. These population differences suggest fundamental differences across regions in the selection processes operating in both marine and freshwater environments. C1 [Spence, Brian C.; Dick, E.

Fitness trade-offs can be linked to reproductive tactics that vary between the sexes, as well as the influence of environmental conditions. We found that O. mykiss outmigrants are more likely to be female in nine populations throughout western North America (grand mean 65% female), in support of the hypothesis that anadromy is more likely to benefit females. This bias was not related to migration distance or freshwater productivity, as indicated by latitude. Within one O. mykiss population we also measured the resident sex ratio and did not observe a male bias, despite a high female bias among outmigrants in that system. We provide a simulation to demonstrate the relationship between sex ratios and the proportion of anadromy and show how sex ratios could be a valuable tool for predicting the prevalence of life history types in a population.

Factors that could produce structure in cowcod include a major biogeographic boundary within cowcod's geographical distribution; severe declines in abundance, potentially, resulting in reductions in effective population size and divergence owing to genetic drift; and dependence on patchily distributed habitat. We examine the following two questions: (i) is there subdivision present and, if so, is it concordant with the two marine biogeographic regions separated by Point Conception, and (ii) have cowcod experienced loss of genetic variation owing to population size reduction? Coarse-scale genetic and otolith analyses indicated regional structure across Point Conception. However, analysis of 24 microsatellite DNA loci revealed as many as three cryptic, divergent lineages (F-CT = 0.194) that meet south of Point Conception. The two southern lineages had higher growth rate than the northerly distributed lineage. In general, cowcod is the least genetically diverse of similar to 10 rockfishes surveyed with the same markers, but the recent substantial declines in abundance were not reflected by recent genetic bottleneck analyses.

Analytical results from a Beverton-Holt recruitment model indicate density-independent maternal effects affected the relative stock productivity and fishing rate reference points. We simulated populations based on Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) and Pacific ocean perch (Sebastes alutus) to explore how estimates of reference points F-msy and F-crash are affected by maternal effects and potential interactions with life-history pattern, recruitment autocorrelation, and exploitation rate. Estimates of F-msy and F-crash were made from populations with maternal effects using either total larvae (proportional to eggs) or viable larvae (incorporating the maternal effect). Maternal effects have the largest impact upon estimated population productivity at high fishing rates. Estimates of F-msy and F-crash for cod were also affected by autocorrelated recruitment variability because of their reduced longevity compared with Pacific ocean perch. These results suggest the importance of evaluating the influence of maternal effects on estimated stock productivity on a case-by-case basis, particularly for depleted stocks composed of relatively young spawners.

The hypothesis tested here is that juvenile Chinook from Puget Sound (Washington, USA) area hatcheries exhibit differential survival as categorized by the state of contamination in their respective natal estuaries. Data were examined from 20 hatcheries that released fish to 14 local estuaries in the Greater Puget Sound area over 37 years (1972-2008). A parallel analysis was also conducted for coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) outmigrating from many of the same hatcheries. For all years combined, juvenile Chinook transiting contaminated estuaries exhibited an overall rate of survival that was 45% lower than that for Chinook moving through uncontaminated estuaries, which was confirmed when tested year by year. The results for coho originating from the same hatcheries and sharing a similar marine distribution indicated no substantial differences among estuaries. These observations have important implications for wild juvenile Chinook that spend more time in the estuary compared with hatchery-reared fish.

For a persistent positive moisture flux into the tropical Atlantic, the average salinity and temperature in the basin is reduced, mainly below mid-depths and in high latitudes. A transient reduction in the Atlantic overturning strength occurs in this case, with a recovery timescale of 1-2 centuries. In contrast, a similar amount of freshwater directed into the Subpolar North Atlantic results in a persistent reduction in overturning and an increase in basin heat and salt content. In the unperturbed pre-industrial simulations, the Atlantic is unambiguously warmer and saltier than historical observations below mid-depths and in the Nordic Seas. The models' tropical freshwater flux sensitivities project strongly onto the spatial pattern of this bias, suggesting a common atmospheric deficiency. The integrated Atlantic plus Arctic surface freshwater flux in these models is between -0.5 and -0.6 Sv, compared with an observational estimate of -0.28 Sv. Our results suggest that shortcomings in the models' ability to reproduce realistic bulk watermass properties are due to an overestimation of the inter-basin moisture export from the tropical Atlantic.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), as part of its Disaster and Failure Studies Program, deployed a team within 44 h of ignition to conduct an initial reconnaissance to document the fire event losses and fire behavior. The deployment was conducted jointly with the Texas Forest Service. Of interest to the NIST deployment was the fire behavior and effects on fire losses of topographical features, structure construction and defensive actions. The two communities initially evaluated were the Willow Creek South Complex and the Tanglewood Complex. Within 72 h after data collection initiation, the Tanglewood fire became the focus of the deployment. Additionally, destroyed and damaged structure data were collected to support the local and state damage assessment efforts. The Tanglewood Complex wildland-urban interface fire was responsible for the destruction of approximately 101 structures including 35 residences. The overall objectives of this study are to establish the likely technical factor or factors responsible for the damage, failure, and/or successful performance of buildings and/or infrastructure in the aftermath of the fire, and to recommend, as necessary, specific improvements to standards, codes, and practices based on study findings. This study also may be used to define areas of future research. This summary paper addresses the particulars of the deployment and the data collection methodology used. A second more detailed technical paper will provide the event timeline reconstruction and general fire behavior observations as well as investigate the impacts of structure attributes, landscaping characteristics, topographical features and wildland fire exposure on structure survivability.

TI Characterizing Firebrand Exposure from Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) Fires: Results from the 2007 Angora Fire SO FIRE TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Firebrands; Wildland-urban interface (WUI) fire; Firebrand exposure AB This study examines the size distribution and other characteristics of firebrand exposure during the 2007 Angora fire, a severe wildland-urban interface fire in California. Of the 401 houses that received direct interface fire exposure 61% were destroyed and 30% did not burn at all. The ignition of buildings by wind-driven firebrand showers and the starting of "spot fires" in unburned vegetation ahead of wildfires have been observed for some time. Empirically quantifying the exposure severity or describing how many firebrands of what size and over what duration and distance cause ignition problems of concern has not yet been possible. However, a unique opportunity to gather empirical firebrand data from an actual interface fire evolved in the days immediately following the Angora fire. Digital analyses of burn patterns from materials exposed to the Angora fire were conducted to determine firebrand size distributions. It is probable that some burn patterns were larger in area than the firebrands due to progressive combustion or melting, but it was assumed that the overall size distributions of burn pattern areas were representative of actual firebrand sizes. This assumption was investigated by exposing sections of materials collected in the Angora fire to wind driven firebrands generated in the laboratory using the unique NIST Dragon's lofting and ignition research facility (NIST Dragon's LAIR facility). The firebrand size distributions reported were compared to firebrand size distributions from experimental firebrand generation in both recent laboratory building ignition studies conducted by NIST and from historical firebrand field studies. Such data is needed to form the basis of effective and appropriate interface fire hazard mitigation measures as well as modeling fire spread. Comparisons are made to current wildfire protection building construction regulations and test standards. The most salient result of this study is documentation of the consistently small size of firebrands and the close correlation of these results with the sizes of experimentally generated firebrands.

TI Forage Fish Interactions: a symposium on "Creating the tools for ecosystem-based management of marine resources" SO ICES JOURNAL OF MARINE SCIENCE LA English DT Article DE forage fish; introduction; symposium ID SMALL PELAGIC FISH; FISHERIES AB Forage fish (FF) have a unique position within marine foodwebs and the development of sustainable harvest strategies for FF will be a critical step in advancing and implementing the broader, ecosystem-based management of marine systems. In all, 70 scientists from 16 nations gathered for a symposium on 12-14 November 2012 that was designed to address three key questions regarding the effective management of FF and their ecosystems: (i) how do environmental factors and predator-prey interactions drive the productivity and distribution of FF stocks across ecosystems worldwide, (ii) what are the economic and ecological costs and benefits of different FF management strategies, and (iii) do commonalities exist across ecosystems in terms of the effective management of FF exploitation?

From 1999 to 2009, the assemblages of forage fish, predator fish, and other pelagic nekton were monitored in coastal waters associated with the Columbia River plume. Surveys were conducted at night to target vertically migrating species, and community structure evaluated to better understand ecological interactions. Distinct inshore and offshore communities were identified during spring and summer that were correlated with ocean temperature, salinity, plume volume, and upwelling intensity. Resident euryhaline forage fish species, such as smelts, anchovy, herring, market squid, juvenile salmon, and spiny dogfish, showed a high affinity for inshore habitat and the lower salinity plume during spring. Highly migratory species, such as sardine, piscivorous hake, sharks, and mackerels, were associated with warmer, saltier waters offshore, during strong upwelling periods in summer. Overall, our study of pelagic nekton revealed that temporal dynamics in abundance and community composition were associated with seasonal abiotic phenomenon, but not interannual, large-scale oceanographic processes. Forage fish assemblages differed seasonally and spatially from the assemblages of major piscivorous predators. This finding suggests a potential role of the plume as refuge for forage fish from predation by piscivorous fish in the northern California Current. C1 [Litz, Marisa N.

A series of 45-d forecast integrations starting from 1 May to 29 September at 5-d interval for 7 years from 2001 to 2007 are performed with an ensemble prediction system (EPS) in NCEP Climate Forecast System Version 1 (CFSV1) model. The sensitivity experiments with different amount of perturbation suggest that full tendency perturbation experiment on all basic variables including humidity at all vertical level shows higher dispersion among forecast than other experiments. Spread-error relationship shows that the present EPS system is under-dispersive. The lower bound of predictability is about 10-12 d and upper bound of predictability is found to be 20-25 d for zonal wind at 850 and 200 hPa. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of precipitation (500 hPa geopotential height) reveals that the predictability limit is about 15(18) d over Indian monsoon region. The monsoon zone area averaged precipitation forecasts averaged over 5-d period (pentads) up to 4 pentad lead time are also evaluated and compared with observation. The anomaly correlation coefficients (ACC) reaches zero after pentad 3 (pentad 5) lead for precipitation (dynamical variables). A probabilistic approach is developed from the EPS for extended range forecast applications. The relative operating characteristic (ROC) curves for three categories of precipitation shows that the prediction skill for active and break is slightly higher compared to that of normal category and skillful probabilistic forecasts can be generated for precipitation even beyond pentad 4 lead.

TI Evaluation of the GOES-R ABI LAP Retrieval Algorithm Using the GOES-13 Sounder SO JOURNAL OF ATMOSPHERIC AND OCEANIC TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Algorithms; Remote sensing; Satellite observations; Soundings ID BASE-LINE IMAGER; PRECIPITABLE WATER-VAPOR; ATMOSPHERIC-TEMPERATURE; RADIANCE MEASUREMENTS; VALIDATION; PRODUCTS; MOISTURE; RADIOSONDES; GENERATION; RADIOMETER AB A physical retrieval algorithm has been developed for deriving the legacy atmospheric profile (LAP) product from infrared radiances of the Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) on board the next-generation Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES-R) series. In this study, the GOES-R ABI LAP retrieval algorithm is applied to the GOES-13 sounder radiance measurements (termed the GOES-13 LAP retrieval algorithm in this study) for its validation as well as for potential transition of the GOES-13 LAP retrieval algorithm for the operational processing of GOES sounder data. The GOES-13 LAP retrievals are compared with five different truth measurements: radiosonde observation (raob) and microwave radiometer-measured total precipitable water (TPW) at the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Cloud and Radiation Testbed site, conventional raob, TPW measurements from the global positioning system-integrated precipitable water NOAA network, and TPW measurements from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for Earth Observing System (AMSR-E). The results show that with the GOES-R ABI LAP retrieval algorithm, the GOES-13 sounder provides better water vapor profiles than the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Global Forecast System (GFS) forecast fields at the levels between 300 and 700 hPa. The root-mean-square error (RMSE) and standard deviation (STD) of the GOES-13 sounder TPW are consistently reduced from those of the GFS forecast no matter which measurements are used as the truth. These substantial improvements indicate that the GOES-R ABI LAP retrieval algorithm is well prepared to provide continuity of quality to some of the current GOES sounder products, and the algorithm can be transferred to process the current GOES sounder measurements for operational product generation.

It carries five new-generation instruments, including the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS). The VIIRS is a whiskbroom radiometer that scans the surface of the earth using a rotating telescope assembly, a double-sided half-angle mirror, and 16 individual detectors. Substantial efforts are being made to accurately calibrate all detectors in orbit. As of this writing, VIIRS striping is reduced to levels below those seen in corresponding Terra and Aqua Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) bands and meets the program specifications and requirements. However, the level 2 SST products derived from level 1 sensor data records (SDRs) thermal emissive bands still show residual striping. These artifacts reduce the accuracy of SST measurements and adversely affect cloud masking and the output of downstream applications, such as thermal front detection. To improve the quality of SST imagery derived from the VIIRS sensor, an adaptive algorithm was developed for operational use within the National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS)'s SST system. The methodology uses a unidirectional quadratic variational model to extract stripe noise from the observed image prior to nonlocal filtering. Evaluation of the algorithm performance over an extended dataset demonstrates a significant improvement in the Advanced Clear-Sky Processor for Oceans (ACSPO) VIIRS SST image quality, with normalized improvement factors (NIF) varying between 5% and 25%.

In situ SSTs come from different countries, agencies, and platforms. As a result, their quality is often suboptimal, nonuniform, and measurement-type specific. This paper describes a system developed at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the in situ SST Quality Monitor (iQuam; www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/sod/sst/iquam/). It performs three major functions with the Global Telecommunication System (GTS) data: 1) quality controls (QC) in situ SSTs, using Bayesian reference and buddy checks similar to those adopted in the Met Office, in addition to providing basic screenings, such as duplicate removal, plausibility, platform track, and SST spike checks; 2) monitors quality-controlled SSTs online, in near-real time; and 3) serves reformatted GTS SST data to NOAA and external users with quality flags appended. Currently, iQuam's web page displays global monthly maps of measurement locations stratified by four in situ platform types (drifters, ships, and tropical and coastal moorings) as well as their corresponding in situ minus reference SST statistics. Time series of all corresponding SST and QC statistics are also trended. The web page user can also monitor individual in situ platforms. The current status of iQuam and ongoing improvements are discussed. C1 [Xu, Feng; Ignatov, Alexander] NOAA, Ctr Satellite Applicat & Res STAR, College Pk, MD 20740 USA.

North of the Polar Front (PF), the observed pCO(2) shows a seasonal cycle that peaks annually in August and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC)-forced variations are significant. Just south of the PF, pCO(2) shows a small seasonal cycle that peaks annually in February, reflecting the opposing effects of changes in SST and DIC in the surface waters. At the PF, the wintertime pCO(2) is nearly in equilibrium with the atmosphere, leading to a small sea-to-air CO2 flux.These observations are used to evaluate eight available Coupled Model Intercomparison Project, phase 5 (CMIP5), Earth system models (ESMs). Six ESMs reproduce the observed annual-mean pCO(2) values averaged over the Drake Passage region. However, the model amplitude of the pCO(2) seasonal cycle exceeds the observed amplitude of the pCO(2) seasonal cycle because of the model biases in SST and surface DIC. North of the PF, deep winter mixed layers play a larger role in pCO(2) variations in the models than they do in observations. Four ESMs show elevated wintertime pCO(2) near the PF, causing a significant sea-to-air CO2 flux. Wintertime winds in these models are generally stronger than the satellite-derived winds. This not only magnifies the sea-to-air CO2 flux but also upwells DIC-rich water to the surface and drives strong equatorward Ekman currents. These strong model currents likely advect the upwelled DIC farther equatorward, as strong stratification in the models precludes subduction below the mixed layer.

V500 estimates are scaled using the climatological vortex decay rate beyond 500 km to estimate the radius of 5 kt (1 kt = 0.514 m s(-1)) winds (R5) or TC size. A much larger historical record of TC-centered IR imagery (1978-2011) is then used to estimate TC sizes and form a global TC size climatology. The basin-specific distributions of TC size reveal that, among other things, the eastern North Pacific TC basins have the smallest while western North Pacific have the largest TC size distributions. The life cycle of TC sizes with respect to maximum intensity shows that TC growth characteristics are different among the individual TC basins, with the North Atlantic composites showing continued growth after maximum intensity. Small TCs are generally located at lower latitudes, westward steering, and preferred in seasons when environmental low-level vorticity is suppressed. Large TCs are generally located at higher latitudes, poleward steering, and preferred in enhanced low-level vorticity environments. Postmaximum intensity growth of TCs occurs in regions associated with enhanced baroclinicity and TC recurvature, while those that do not grow much are associated with west movement, erratic storm tracks, and landfall at or near the time of maximum intensity. With respect to climate change, no significant long-term trends are found in the dataset of TC size.

Significantly different rates of growth were observed among fish reared under two ration treatments and three temperature treatments (8, 14 and 20 degrees C). Wider circulus spacing and faster deposition was associated with faster growth. For the same growth rate, however, circulus spacing was two-fold wider and deposited 36% less frequently in the cold compared to the hot temperature treatment. In a multiple linear regression, median circulus spacing and water temperature accounted for 68% of the variation in observed O. mykiss growth. These results corroborate previous research on scale characteristics and growth, while providing novel evidence that highlights the importance of water temperature in these relationships. Thus, this study establishes the utility of using scale analysis as a relatively non-invasive method for inferring growth in salmonids.

Materials and Methods: This study did not require the institutional review board approval. Six radiologists estimated the size of 10 synthetic nodules embedded within an anthropomorphic thorax phantom from computed tomography scans at 0.8- and 5-mm slice thicknesses. The readers measured the nodule size using unidimensional (1D) longest in-slice dimension, bidimensional (2D) area from longest in-slice and longest perpendicular dimension, and three-dimensional pp) semiautomated volume. lntercomparisons of bias (difference between average and true size) and variance among methods were performed after converting the 2D and 3D estimates to a compatible 1D scale. Results: The relative biases of radiologists with the 3D tool were -1.8%, -0.4%, -0.7%, -0.4%, and -1.6% for 10-mm spherical, 20-mm spherical, 20-mm elliptical, 10-mm lobulated, and 10-mm spiculated nodules compared to 1.4%, -0.1%, -26.5%, -7.8%, and -39.8% for 1D. The three-dimensional measurements were significantly less biased than 1D for elliptical, lobulated, and spiculated nodules. The relative standard deviations for 3D were 7.5%, 3.9%, 3.6%, 9.7%, and 8.3% compared to 5.7%, 2.6%, 20.3%, 5.3%, and 16.4% for 1D. Unidimensional sizing was significantly less variable than 3D for the lobulated nodule and significantly more variable for the ellipsoid and spiculated nodules. Three-dimensional bias and variability were smaller for thin 0.8-mm slice data compared to thick 5.0-mm data. Conclusions: The study shows that radiologist-controlled 3D volumetric lesion sizing can not only achieve smaller bias but also achieve similar or smaller variability compared to 1D sizing, especially for complex lesion shapes.

Recent publications have attempted to clarify the meaning of these terms with respect to their environmental impact, particularly on climate. Here, we focus on the measurement aspects, reviewing the most commonly implemented techniques for the direct and indirect derivation of black carbon properties, their strengths, limitations, and uncertainties, and provide a non-exhaustive bibliography where the reader can find more detailed information. This review paper is designed as a guide for those wishing to learn about the current state of black carbon measurement instrumentation, how calibration is carried out, when one instrument may have the advantage over another, and where new techniques are needed to fill important knowledge gaps.

Approximately 16% of the oil was chemically dispersed, at the surface and at 1500 m depth, using Corexit 9527 and Corexit 9500, which contain dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate (DOSS) as a major surfactant component. This was the largest documented release of oil in history at substantial depth, and the first time large quantities of dispersant (0.77 million gallons of approximately 1.9 million gallons total) were applied to a subsurface oil plume. During two cruises in late May and early June, water samples were collected at the surface and at depth for DOSS analysis. Real-time fluorimetry data was used to infer the presence of oil components to select appropriate sampling depths. Samples were stored frozen and in the dark for approximately 6 months prior to analysis by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry with isotope-dilution quantification. The blank-limited method detection limit (0.25 mu g L-1) was substantially less than the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (USEPA) aquatic life benchmark of 40 mu g L-1. Concentrations of DOSS exceeding 200 mu g L-1 were observed in one surface sample near the well site; in subsurface samples DOSS did not exceed 40 mu g L-1. Although DOSS was present at high concentration in the immediate vicinity of the well where it was being continuously applied, a combination of biodegradation, photolysis, and dilution likely reduced persistence at concentrations exceeding the USEPA aquatic life benchmark beyond this immediate area.

AB Environmental specimen banks (ESBs) have been a fundamental tool for many nations to monitor contaminant temporal and spatial trends, study fate and transport, and assess the severity and risks of pollution. The specimens archived in ESBs are among the longest time-series, most geographically robust, and highest integrity samples available for performing environmental research. Mercury (Hg) remains one of the world's most ubiquitous environmental contaminants, and ESBs have played a prominent role in Hg research. Historically this has involved measuring concentrations of Hg species in various environmental matrices, but the emerging field of Hg stable isotope research provides a new analytical approach that can augment these traditional techniques. Signatures of Hg isotope fractionation have been effectively used for source apportionment and for elucidating Hg biogeochemical cycling. As the research surrounding Hg stable isotopes continues to mature, ESBs can play a useful role in analytical quality control, provide a robust and economical sample archive to expand and diversify the inventory of Hg isotope measurements, and be used to develop and test hypotheses to evaluate whether broadly prevailing paradigms are supported. Samples archived in ESBs are available for request by external collaborators in order to perform high impact research, and should be utilized more effectively to address emerging global environmental concerns.

This was accomplished through an ex situ methodology designed to give a priori knowledge on the potential for nanoparticles, or other emerging contaminants, to affect the catabolic capabilities of microbial communities in the environment. Microbial communities from a variety of sources were incubated with 31 prespecified carbon sources and either National Institute of Standards and Technology reference material 10-nm AuNPs or ciprofloxacin on 96-well microtiter plates. From the ciprofloxacin study, dose-response curves were generated and exemplified how this method can be used to assess the effect of a toxicant on overall catabolic capabilities of microbial communities. With 10-nm AuNPs at concentrations ranging from 0.01 mu g/mL to 0.5 mu g/mL, rhizosphere communities from Typha roots were only slightly catabolically inhibited at a single concentration (0.05 mu g/mL); no effects were seen on wetland water communities, and a minor positive (i.e., enhanced catabolic capabilities) effect was observed for loamy soil communities. This positive effect might have been because of a thin layer of citrate found on these AuNPs that initiated cometabolism with some of the carbon sources studied. Under the conditions considered, the possible adverse effects of AuNPs on the catabolic capabilities of microbial communities appears to be minimal. Environ Toxicol Chem 2013;33:44-51.

For that purpose, a home-made Difference Frequency Generation (DFG) laser emitting at 3.24 mu m has been coupled to a cryogenically-cooled optical cell to investigate the temperature dependences of the air-broadening, the air-narrowing and the air-mixing coefficients of these nu(3) R(6) manifold transitions. The temperatures of the measurements range from 213.5 K to room temperature. These are typically the temperatures found in the troposphere and the lower stratosphere. Finally, the measured spectroscopic parameters have been used to process the in-situ methane absorption spectra recorded by a balloon-borne laser diode spectrometer. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

This is accomplished using a nonlinear inverse modeling technique that produces a joint probability density function (PDF) for a set of parameters. The dependence of estimated parameter values and associated uncertainty on two types of observable quantities is analyzed using an axisymmetric hurricane model. When the observation is only the maximum tangential wind speed, the joint PDF of parameter estimates has large variance and is multimodal. When the full kinematic field within the inner core of the TC is used for the observations, however, the joint parameter estimates are well constrained. These results suggest that model parameterizations may not be optimized using the maximum wind speed. Instead, the optimization should be based on observations of the TC structure to improve the intensity forecasts.

This method estimates the maximum tangential velocity V-M and its radial distance R-M from the hurricane vortex center by fitting a parametric vortex model directly to raw aliased velocities at and around each selected vertical level. In this method, aliasing-caused zigzag discontinuities in the relationship between the observed and true radial velocities are formulated into the cost function by applying an alias operator to the entire analysis-minus-observation term to ensure the cost function to be smooth and concave around the global minimum. Simulated radar velocity observations are used to examine the cost function geometry around the global minimum in the space of control parameters (V-M, R-M). The results show that the global minimum point can estimate the true (V-M, R-M) approximately if the hurricane vortex center location is approximately known and the hurricane core and vicinity areas are adequately covered by the radar scans, and the global minimum can be found accurately by an efficient descent algorithm as long as the initial guess is in the concave vicinity of the global minimum. The method is used with elaborated refinements for automated dealiasing, and this utility is highlighted by an example applied to severely aliased radial velocities scanned from a hurricane.

In this study, the authors examine the impact of the observations on 1-3-h forecasts and provide additional analysis of the relationship between simulated satellite and radar data observations to various water vapor and cloud hydrometeor variables. Correlation statistics showed that the radar and satellite observations are sensitive to different variables. Assimilating 6.95-m T-B primarily improved the atmospheric water vapor and frozen cloud hydrometeor variables such as ice and snow. Radar reflectivity proved more effective in both the lower and midtroposphere with the best results observed for rainwater, graupel, and snow. The impacts of assimilating both datasets decrease rapidly as a function of forecast time. By 1 h, the effects of satellite data become small on forecast cloud hydrometeor values, though it remains useful for atmospheric water vapor. The impacts of radar data last somewhat longer, sometimes up to 3 h, but also display a large decrease in effectiveness by 1 h. Generally, assimilating both satellite and radar data simultaneously generates the best analysis and forecast for most cloud hydrometeor variables.

TI Evaluation of a Cloud-Scale Lightning Data Assimilation Technique and a 3DVAR Method for the Analysis and Short-Term Forecast of the 29 June 2012 Derecho Event SO MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW LA English DT Article DE Cloud resolving models; Data assimilation; Mesoscale models; Model errors; Model evaluation; performance; Numerical weather prediction; forecasting ID ENSEMBLE KALMAN FILTER; VARIATIONAL STATISTICAL-ANALYSIS; MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE COMPLEXES; DOPPLER RADAR OBSERVATIONS; LEVEL-II DATA; PART II; TORNADIC THUNDERSTORMS; RECURSIVE FILTERS; NUMERICAL ASPECTS; DENSITY CURRENTS AB This work evaluates the short-term forecast (6 h) of the 29-30 June 2012 derecho event from the Advanced Research core of the Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF-ARW) when using two distinct data assimilation techniques at cloud-resolving scales (3-km horizontal grid). The first technique assimilates total lightning data using a smooth nudging function. The second method is a three-dimensional variational technique (3DVAR) that assimilates radar reflectivity and radial velocity data. A suite of sensitivity experiments revealed that the lightning assimilation was better able to capture the placement and intensity of the derecho up to 6 h of the forecast. All the simulations employing 3DVAR, however, best represented the storm's radar reflectivity structure at the analysis time. Detailed analysis revealed that a small feature in the velocity field from one of the six selected radars in the original 3DVAR experiment led to the development of spurious convection ahead of the parent mesoscale convective system, which significantly degraded the forecast. Thus, the relatively simple nudging scheme using lightning data complements the more complex variational technique. The much lower computational cost of the lightning scheme may permit its use alongside variational techniques in improving severe weather forecasts on days favorable for the development of outflow-dominated mesoscale convective systems.

TI Linearization of Microphysical Parameterization Uncertainty Using Multiplicative Process Perturbation Parameters SO MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW LA English DT Article DE Bayesian methods; Bias; Inverse methods; Probability forecasts; models; distribution; Cloud parameterizations; Data assimilation ID DATA ASSIMILATION; MODEL; SIMULATIONS; SYSTEMS; IMPACT AB Recent studies have shown the importance of accounting for model physics uncertainty within probabilistic forecasts. Attempts have been made at quantifying this uncertainty in terms of microphysical parameters such as fall speed coefficients, moments of hydrometeor particle size distributions, and hydrometeor densities. It has been found that uncertainty in terms of these traditional microphysical parameters is highly non-Gaussian, calling into question the possibility of estimating and propagating this error using Gaussian statistical techniques such as ensemble Kalman methods. Here, a new choice of uncertain control variables is proposed that instead considers uncertainty in individual modeled microphysical processes. These process parameters are multiplicative perturbations on contributions of individual modeled microphysical processes to hydrometeor time tendency. The new process parameters provide a natural and appealing choice for the quantification of aleatory microphysical parameterization uncertainty. Results of a nonlinear Monte Carlo parameter estimation experiment for these new process parameters are presented and compared with the results using traditional microphysical parameters as uncertain control variables. Both experiments occur within the context of an idealized one-dimensional simulation of moist convection, under the observational constraint of simulated radar reflectivity. Results indicate that the new process parameters have a more Gaussian character compared with traditional microphysical parameters, likely due to a more linear control on observable model evolution. In addition, posterior forecast distributions using the new control variables (process parameters) are shown to have less bias and variance. These results strongly recommend the use of the new process parameters for an ensemble Kalman-based estimation of microphysical parameterization uncertainty.

The depth-dependences of the measured parameters were analyzed to generate cross-sectional images of tomographic reconstructions. Through a suitable normalization of the measured contact stiffness and indentation depth, the depth-dependence of the contact stiffness was analyzed by linear fits to obtain the elastic moduli of the materials probed. Besides elastic moduli, the contributions of adhesive forces (short-range versus long-range) to contact on each material were determined without a priori assumptions. The adhesion analysis was complemented by an unambiguous identification of distinct viscous responses during adhesion and in-contact deformation from the dissipated power during indentation.

Here we report the whole-genome sequencing and de novo assembly of the minke whale genome, as well as the whole-genome sequences of three minke whales, a fin whale, a bottlenose dolphin and a finless porpoise. Our comparative genomic analysis identified an expansion in the whale lineage of gene families associated with stress-responsive proteins and anaerobic metabolism, whereas gene families related to body hair and sensory receptors were contracted. Our analysis also identified whale-specific mutations in genes encoding antioxidants and enzymes controlling blood pressure and salt concentration. Overall the whale-genome sequences exhibited distinct features that are associated with the physiological and morphological changes needed for life in an aquatic environment, marked by resistance to physiological stresses caused by a lack of oxygen, increased amounts of reactive oxygen species and high salt levels.

These experiments use inter-annually varying atmospheric forcing data sets for the 60-year period from 1948 to 2007 and are performed as contributions to the second phase of the Coordinated Oceanice Reference Experiments (CORE-II). The protocol for conducting such CORE-II experiments is summarized. Despite using the same atmospheric forcing, the solutions show significant differences. As most models also differ from available observations, biases in the Labrador Sea region in upper-ocean potential temperature and salinity distributions, mixed layer depths, and sea-ice cover are identified as contributors to differences in AMOC. These differences in the solutions do not suggest an obvious grouping of the models based on their ocean model lineage, their vertical coordinate representations, or surface salinity restoring strengths. Thus, the solution differences among the models are attributed primarily to use of different subgrid scale parameterizations and parameter choices as well as to differences in vertical and horizontal grid resolutions in the ocean models. Use of a wide variety of sea-ice models with diverse snow and sea-ice albedo treatments also contributes to these differences. Based on the diagnostics considered, the majority of the models appear suitable for use in studies involving the North Atlantic, but some models require dedicated development effort.

Braun, Artur TI Evolution of electrochemical interfaces in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC): a Ni and Zr resonant anomalous ultra-small-angle X-ray scattering study with elemental and spatial resolution across the cell assembly SO RSC ADVANCES LA English DT Article ID TOLERANT ANODE MATERIALS; OPERATING TEMPERATURE; YSZ CERMET; SULFUR; MICROSTRUCTURE; DEGRADATION; ENERGY; RECONSTRUCTION; SPECTROSCOPY; CATHODE AB Electrochemical interfaces are key to the direct conversion of fuels to electrical energy and lend energy converters like solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) their functionality. Over extended operation at high temperatures, the microstructure of the underlying component materials in the cathodes, anodes and electrolytes evolve to an extent that these interfaces become affected and ultimately impaired, giving rise to performance degradation. We present anomalous ultra-small-angle X-ray scattering (anomalous USAXS) measurements to quantify the component phase interfacial surface areas as a function of position within the electrodes and electrolyte of a SOFC assembly. Using USAXS at a 3rd generation X-ray synchrotron facility, the primary microstructural parameters obtained are the mean feature size, size distribution and surface area, determined over a contiguous length scale from nanometers to micrometers in a single measurement at a given position. Here, a spatial resolution of <20 mu m has been achieved perpendicular to the SOFC electrode and electrolyte layers. Anomalous USAXS measurements at X-ray energies just below the Ni and Zr K-absorption edges have enabled the electrochemically-active solid components and their associated void morphologies to be distinguished from each other close to the electrode/electrolyte interfaces. The anomalous variation of the X-ray scattering contrast with X-ray energy has been exploited to distinguish Ni-rich or Zr-rich component microstructures from adjacent phases, and to determine the interfacial surface areas both between specific solid phases and between each phase and the void network. Such information provides improved insights for relating the morphology of the SOFC triple phase boundary (TPB, where the reactant gas, electron-conducting and ion-conducting phases coincide) to the various component interfaces in the adjacent microstructure. We demonstrate how such measurements determine the electrochemically-active interface response to SOFC service life, especially in the anode with and without sulfur present in the fuel. Our approach can be generalized to address degradation issues at a quantitative level in other electrochemical systems such as batteries and photo-electrochemical cells.

We demonstrate that it is neither a frozen melt nor nanocrystalline. The glass has a well-defined solubility limit and rejects Al during formation from the melt. The pair distribution function of the glass reveals chemical ordering out to at least 12 angstrom that resembles the ordering within a stable crystalline intermetallic phase of neighboring composition. Under isothermal annealling at 305 degrees C the glass first rejects Al, then persists for approximately 1 h with no detectable change in structure, and finally is transformed by a first-order phase transition to a crystalline phase with a structure that is different from that within the glass. It is possible that this remarkable glass phase has a fully ordered atomic structure that nevertheless possesses no long-range translational symmetry and is isotropic.

This paper analyzes product loading ratio variations and generates area-specific airflow rate distributions of major categories of interior building products for single family detached (SFD) homes in the U.S. The product categories addressed include ceiling, flooring, interior wallboard 82 paint, walls 82 wall coverings, doors, insulation and window treatments. The analysis employs a set of 83 SFD homes that are defined by Persily et al. (2006) as representing 80% of U.S. housing stock built prior to 1998. We first calculate product loading ratios from floor plans of these homes. We then combine the loading ratios with the air change rates previously modeled using CONTAM by Persily et al. (2010) to develop a national, average area-specific airflow rate distribution for each product category. We further analyze the trends affecting area-specific airflow rate distributions in newer homes. Finally, we discuss the implications of these results on assessing IAQ impacts of building products, especially their application to improve product standards for volatile organic compound (VOC) emission testing and evaluation.

Prior probability distributions for steepness have been used when conducting assessments of US west coast groundfish in the absence of data to estimate steepness reliably. These priors have been developed by applying meta-analytic methods to the results from stock assessments, but the performances of these methods have not been evaluated. Three potential methods for applying meta-analysis to construct steepness priors are available: non-linear mixed models, Bayesian hierarchical methods, and a novel method which approximates marginal likelihoods using likelihood profiles. These methods are evaluated using simulation. The profile method is found to perform best. Estimates of the parameters which define the steepness prior are uncertain owing primarily to uncertainty associated with the results of the stock assessments which provide the input for the meta-analysis methods, and because of the small number of stocks available for inclusion in the meta-analysis.

TI Characterising the STR locus D6S1043 and examination of its effect on stutter rates SO FORENSIC SCIENCE INTERNATIONAL-GENETICS LA English DT Article DE Forensic DNA; Sequencing; Stutter; Interpretation; D6S1043 AB The forensic analysis of DNA is most often undertaken by the amplification of short tandem repeats (STR) using the polymerase chain reaction ( PCR). DNA amplification can result in production of the target allele amplicon and a by-product called stutter. Stutter is the result of the miscopy of the target allele and is typically one repeat smaller. Stutter is traditionally described as a ratio of stutter and allele height; stutter ratio (SR). The challenge to DNA profile interpretation is most serious whenever stutter products are of a similar height to the minor allelic peaks in a mixed DNA profile. An accurate assignment of peaks and the prediction of their height is important when objectively interpreting forensic DNA profiles. The longest uninterrupted stretch (LUS) of tandem repeats within the allele has previously been shown to be a good predictor of stutter ratio. LUS is determined by sequencing a range of observed alleles at a locus. The locus D6S1043 is a relatively new locus to appear in commercial forensic DNA testing kits. To date however, there has been no comprehensive report of sequencing of this locus. In this work, we sequence a sample of D6S1043 alleles to determine LUS values and investigate allele repeat number and LUS as explanatory variables for SR. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.

Such movements involve annually recurring travel over long distances usually triggered by seasonal changes in the environment. Often, the migration is associated with travel to or from reproduction areas to regions of growth. Young anadromous Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) emigrate from freshwater nursery areas during spring and early summer to feed and grow in the North Atlantic Ocean. The transition from the freshwater (parr') stage to the migratory stage where they descend streams and enter salt water (smolt') is characterized by morphological, physiological and behavioural changes where the timing of this parr-smolt transition is cued by photoperiod and water temperature. Environmental conditions in the freshwater habitat control the downstream migration and contribute to within- and among-river variation in migratory timing. Moreover, the timing of the freshwater emigration has likely evolved to meet environmental conditions in the ocean as these affect growth and survival of the post-smolts. Using generalized additive mixed-effects modelling, we analysed spatio-temporal variations in the dates of downstream smolt migration in 67 rivers throughout the North Atlantic during the last five decades and found that migrations were earlier in populations in the east than the west. After accounting for this spatial effect, the initiation of the downstream migration among rivers was positively associated with freshwater temperatures, up to about 10 degrees C and levelling off at higher values, and with sea-surface temperatures. Earlier migration occurred when river discharge levels were low but increasing. On average, the initiation of the smolt seaward migration has occurred 2.5days earlier per decade throughout the basin of the North Atlantic. This shift in phenology matches changes in air, river, and ocean temperatures, suggesting that Atlantic salmon emigration is responding to the current global climate changes.

Here, we present updated global projections for these key threats to coral reefs based on ensembles of IPCC AR5 climate models using the new Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) experiments. For all tropical reef locations, we project absolute and percentage changes in aragonite saturation state (arag) for the period between 2006 and the onset of annual severe bleaching (thermal stress >8 degree heating weeks); a point at which it is difficult to believe reefs can persist as we know them. Severe annual bleaching is projected to start 10-15years later at high-latitude reefs than for reefs in low latitudes under RCP8.5. In these 10-15years, arag keeps declining and thus any benefits for high-latitude reefs of later onset of annual bleaching may be negated by the effects of acidification. There are no long-term refugia from the effects of both acidification and bleaching. Of all reef locations, 90% are projected to experience severe bleaching annually by 2055. Furthermore, 5% declines in calcification are projected for all reef locations by 2034 under RCP8.5, assuming a 15% decline in calcification per unit of arag. Drastic emissions cuts, such as those represented by RCP6.0, result in an average year for the onset of annual severe bleaching that is similar to 20years later (2062 vs. 2044). However, global emissions are tracking above the current worst-case scenario devised by the scientific community, as has happened in previous generations of emission scenarios. The projections here for conditions on coral reefs are dire, but provide the most up-to-date assessment of what the changing climate and ocean acidification mean for the persistence of coral reefs.

However, recent evidence indicates corals may be able to respond to thermal stress though adaptive processes (e.g., genetic adaptation, acclimatization, and symbiont shuffling). How these mechanisms might influence warming-induced bleaching remains largely unknown. This study compared how different adaptive processes could affect coral bleaching projections. We used the latest bias-corrected global sea surface temperature (SST) output from the NOAA/GFDL Earth System Model 2 (ESM2M) for the preindustrial period through 2100 to project coral bleaching trajectories. Initial results showed that, in the absence of adaptive processes, application of a preindustrial climatology to the NOAA Coral Reef Watch bleaching prediction method overpredicts the present-day bleaching frequency. This suggests that corals may have already responded adaptively to some warming over the industrial period. We then modified the prediction method so that the bleaching threshold either permanently increased in response to thermal history (e.g., simulating directional genetic selection) or temporarily increased for 2-10years in response to a bleaching event (e.g., simulating symbiont shuffling). A bleaching threshold that changes relative to the preceding 60years of thermal history reduced the frequency of mass bleaching events by 20-80% compared with the no adaptive response' prediction model by 2100, depending on the emissions scenario. When both types of adaptive responses were applied, up to 14% more reef cells avoided high-frequency bleaching by 2100. However, temporary increases in bleaching thresholds alone only delayed the occurrence of high-frequency bleaching by ca. 10years in all but the lowest emissions scenario. Future research should test the rate and limit of different adaptive responses for coral species across latitudes and ocean basins to determine if and how much corals can respond to increasing thermal stress.

This study presents a technique to detect and monitor river ice using observations from the MODIS instrument onboard the Terra satellite. The technique incorporates a threshold-based decision tree image classification algorithm to process MODIS data and to determine the extent of ice. To differentiate between ice-covered and ice-free pixels within the riverbed, the algorithm combines observations in the visible and near-infrared spectral bands. The developed technique presents the core of the MODIS-based river ice mapping system, which has been developed to support National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NWS's operations. The system has been tested over the Susquehanna River in northeastern USA, where ice jam events leading to spring floods are a frequent occurrence. The automated algorithm generates three products: daily ice maps, weekly composite ice maps and running cloud-free composite ice maps. The performance of the system was evaluated over nine winter seasons. The analysis of the derived products has revealed their good agreement with the aerial photography and with in situ observations-based ice charts. The probability of ice detection determined from the comparison of the product with the high-resolution Landsat imagery was equal to 91%. A consistent inverse relationship was found between the river discharge and the ice extent.

The first step, which deals with land/sea discrimination, is accomplished in a robust and effective way by exploiting the inherent peculiarities of the CSK PingPong mode. Hence, a dual-polarization scattering model that relates the correlation between the HH and VV CSK polarimetric channels to the coherence time of the observed scene is first proposed. The second step, which deals with the extraction of the continuous coastline, is accomplished by a simple image processing that consists of extracting intermediate frequency components using two Gaussian-shaped filters. Experiments undertaken over actual CSK single-look slant range complex PingPong HH/VV SAR data show the physical soundness of the proposed rationale and the processing effectiveness.

This portfolio effect generally results in improved biological and economic outcomes for managed species. Previous evidence for the portfolio effect in salmonids has arisen from examinations of time series of adult abundance, but we lack evidence of spatial buffering of temporal variability in demographic rates such as survival of juveniles during their first year of life. We therefore use density-dependent population models with multiple random effects to represent synchronous (similar among populations) and asynchronous (different among populations) temporal variability as well as spatial variability in survival. These are fitted to 25years of survey data for breeding adults and surviving juveniles from 15 demographically distinct populations of Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) within a single metapopulation in the Snake River in Idaho, USA. Model selection identifies the most support for the model that included both synchronous and asynchronous temporal variability, in addition to spatial variability. Asynchronous variability (log-SD=055) is approximately equal in magnitude to synchronous temporal variability (log-SD=067), but much lower than spatial variability (log-SD=111). We also show that the pairwise correlation coefficient, a common measure of population synchrony, is approximated by the estimated ratio of shared and total variance, where both approaches yield a synchrony estimate of 059. We therefore find evidence for spatial buffering of temporal variability in early juvenile survival, although between-population variability that persists over time is also large. We conclude that spatial variation decreases interannual changes in overall juvenile production, which suggests that conservation and restoration of spatial diversity will improve population persistence for this metapopulation. However, the exact magnitude of spatial buffering depends upon demographic parameters such as adult survival that may vary among populations and is proposed as an area of future research using hierarchical life cycle models. We recommend that future sampling of this metapopulation employ a repeated-measure sampling design to improve estimation of early juvenile carrying capacity.

TI Occupancy patterns of large mammals in the Far North of Ontario under imperfect detection and spatial autocorrelation SO JOURNAL OF BIOGEOGRAPHY LA English DT Article DE Conservation biogeography; hierarchical modelling; imperfect detection; moose; northern Ontario; probability of occupancy; restricted spatial regression; spatial autocorrelation; wolf; woodland caribou ID WOODLAND CARIBOU; SITE-OCCUPANCY; SPECIES DISTRIBUTION; BEHAVIORAL-RESPONSE; HABITAT SELECTION; MODELS; CONSERVATION; EXTINCTION; FOREST; WINTER AB AimAn understanding of the factors that influence species distributions in heterogeneous landscapes is important when making decisions regarding conservation. Moreover, occupancy probabilities based on detection data can reveal important species-habitat relationships. Accounting for the spatial autocorrelation of detection data increases the statistical validity of occupancy models, but is not often considered. Using novel occupancy modelling that explicitly incorporates detectability and spatial autocorrelation, we assessed the influence of habitat on occupancy patterns of woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou), moose (Alces alces) and wolves (Canis lupus) across a broad biogeographical extent where fire is the dominant agent of disturbance. LocationNorthern Ontario, Canada. MethodsWe aerially surveyed 3851 sampling units, each covering 100km(2), for woodland caribou, moose and wolves in February-March in 2009, 2010 and 2011, and visited 1663 units more than once to estimate detectability. We used restricted spatial regression to model occupancy probabilities of each species with respect to habitat factors in two ecozones, accounting for both imperfect detection and lack of independence of sampling units. ResultsCovariates influencing species detection varied among ecozones and species. Caribou occupancy was positively related to bogs and negatively related to disturbed areas, while moose occupancy showed opposite responses to these covariates. Wolf occupancy was related to high prey occupancy. Explicitly accounting for spatial autocorrelation in detection data reduced the chance of type I error in occupancy estimates compared with non-spatial models. Main conclusionsHabitat relationships and occupancy patterns support the hypothesis that caribou remain spatially segregated from moose to reduce predation risk. The broad scale of analysis indicated changes in species-habitat relationships, suggesting that limiting factors vary across biogeographical gradients. The spatial pattern in caribou occupancy allowed us to identify important areas used by caribou across the region, including the ecotone between fire-driven boreal forests and peatland complexes. The evidence for significant relationships between caribou and land cover, predators and alternate prey underscores the need for careful planning of development and infrastructure in the area.

It has a maximum elevation of 570 m (Mt. Pagan), but its submarine flanks descend to 2000-3000 m below sea level, and are unexplored. Bathymetric mapping and ROV Hyper-Dolphin dives (HPD1147 and HPD1148) on the submarine NE and SW flanks of Pagan were carried out during cruise NT10-12 of R.V. Natsushima in July 2010. There are no systematic compositional differences between subaerial lavas reported in the literature and differentiated submarine lavas collected in HPD1148, with < 7 wt % MgO, suggesting they are derived from the same magmatic system. However, these differentiated lavas show complexities including magma mixing; thus we concentrate on magnesian submarine lavas (> 7 wt % MgO). Twenty least-fractionated basalts (48 center dot 5-50 wt % SiO2) collected during HPD1147 extend to higher MgO (10-11 wt %) and Mg# (66-70) than the subaerial lavas. Olivine (up to Fo(94)) and spinel (Cr# up to 0 center dot 8) compositions suggest that these Pagan primitive magmas formed from high degrees of mantle melting. Two basalt types can be distinguished based on their geochemistry at similar (10-11 wt %) MgO; these erupted recently, 500 m apart. Both contain clinopyroxene and olivine phenocrysts and are referred to as COB1 and COB2. Lower TiO2, FeO, Na2O, K2O, incompatible trace element abundances, and Nb/Yb suggest that COB1 formed from higher degrees of mantle melting. In addition, light rare earth element (LREE) enrichment and higher Th/Nb in COB2 contrast with LREE depletion and lower Th/Nb in COB1. Higher Ba/Th and Ba/Nb and lower Th/Nb indicate that the main subduction addition in COB1 was dominated by hydrous fluid, whereas that in COB2 was dominated by sediment melt. Sr-Nd-Pb-Hf isotopes are also consistent with this interpretation. These observations suggest that the subduction component responsible for the greater degree of melting of the COB1 source was mostly hydrous fluid. The origin of such different metasomatic agents resulted in different primary magmas forming in the same volcano. Both hydrous fluid and sediment melt components may have unmixed from an originally homogeneous supercritical fluid in or above the subducting slab below the volcanic front. These may have been added separately to the mantle wedge peridotite (mantle diapir) and resulted in two neighboring but completely different primary magmas from the same diapir. Moreover, these primitive lavas suggest that even for intra-oceanic arcs assimilation-fractional crystallization is inevitable when these magmas evolve in the crust and, in addition, that phlogopite is present in their mantle residue and thus played an important role in their genesis.

While most studies focus on the role of anomalous heat flux values, here the impact of total (climatology plus anomaly) negative heat flux events on the Arctic stratosphere is investigated. Utilizing the Interim ECMWF Re-Analysis (ERA-Interim) dataset, it is found that total negative heat flux events coincide with a transient reversal of the residual circulation and cooling of the Arctic lower stratosphere. The negative events weaken the seasonally averaged adiabatic warming.The analysis provides a new interpretation of the winters of 1997 and 2011, which are known to have the lowest March Arctic lower-stratospheric temperatures in the satellite era. While most winters involve positive and negative heat flux extremes, the winters of 1997 and 2011 are unique in that they only involved extreme negative events. This behavior contributed to the weakest adiabatic downwelling in the satellite era and suggests a dynamical contribution to the extremely low temperatures during those winters that could not be accounted for by diabatic processes alone. While it is well established that dynamical processes contribute to the occurrence of stratospheric sudden warming events via extreme positive heat flux events, the results show that dynamical processes also contribute to cold winters with subsequent impact on Arctic ozone loss. The results highlight the importance of interpreting stratospheric temperatures in the Arctic in the context of the dynamical regime with which they are associated.

In this study, the authors investigate the interaction between discrete buoyant updrafts and the vertically sheared azimuthal flow of an idealized TC vortex by adapting the updraft-shear dynamical framework to the TC. The authors argue theoretically that deep updrafts initiating near the TC radius of maximum wind (RMW) may propagate with a component left of the mean tangential flow, or radially inward toward the TC center. Results suggest that these unique TC updrafts, or left movers with respect to the mean azimuthal flow, may play an active role in TC intensification.The notion that updraft-scale convection may propagate with a component transverse to the mean flow is not at all new. Cyclonic midlatitude supercell thunderstorms often deviate from their mean environmental flow, always to the right of the environmental vertical shear vector. The deviant motion arises owing to nonlinear interactions between the incipient updraft and the environmental vertical shear. Although significant differences exist between the idealized TC considered here and real TCs, observational and high-resolution operational modeling evidence suggests that some intense TC updrafts may propagate with a radially inward and right-of-shear component and exhibit structural characteristics consistent with theory.The authors propose that left movers constitute a unique class of intense TC updrafts that may be favored near the TC RMW where local vertical shear of the TC azimuthal winds may be maximized. To simulate these left movers in a realistic way, mesoscale TC forecasting models must resolve nonlinear interactions between updrafts and vertical shear.

The Z(DR) arc has been previously associated with size sorting of raindrops in the presence of vertical wind shear; here this model is extended to include size sorting of hail. Idealized simulations of a supercell storm observed by the Norman, Oklahoma (KOUN), polarimetric radar on 1 June 2008 are performed using a multimoment bulk microphysics scheme, in which size sorting is allowed or disallowed for hydrometeor species. Several velocity-diameter relationships for the hail fall speed are considered, as well as fixed or variable bulk densities that span the graupel-to-hail spectrum. A T-matrix-based emulator is used to derive polarimetric fields from the hydrometeor state variables.Size sorting of hail is found to have a dominant impact on Z(DR) and can result in a Z(DR) arc from melting hail even when size sorting is disallowed in the rain field. The low-Z(DR) hail core only appears when size sorting is allowed for hail. The mean storm-relative wind in a deep layer is found to align closely with the gradient in mean mass diameter of both rain and hail, with a slight shift toward the storm-relative mean wind below the melting level in the case of rain. The best comparison with the observed 1 June 2008 supercell is obtained when both rain and hail are allowed to sort, and the bulk density and associated fall-speed curve for hail are predicted by the model microphysics.

Comparison of fitted von Bertalanffy growth models confirmed there is no evidence of sexual dimorphism in this species. Substantial differences in growth patterns were detected among seven subpopulations representing the species entire geographic range. The age at which seals would be expected to attain a reference length of 180cm ranged from just over 3yr up to almost 7yr at the various sites. Subpopulations exhibiting slower growth have previously been found to also exhibit lower age-specific reproductive rates. Differences in growth of seals among sites likely indicate varying environmental conditions determining growth during the time periods represented in the sampled data.

We examined changes in kinematics of a tagged entangled North Atlantic right whale (Eg 3911), before, during, and after disentanglement on 15 January 2011. To calculate the additional drag forces and energetic demand associated with various gear configurations, we towed three sets of gear attached to a load-cell tensiometer at multiple speeds. Tag analyses revealed significant increases in dive depth and duration; ascent, descent and fluke stroke rates; and decreases in root mean square fluke amplitude (a proxy for thrust) following disentanglement. Conservative drag coefficients while entangled in all gear configurations (mean +/- SD C-d,C-e,C-go = 3.4x10(-3) +/- 0.0003, C-d,C-e,C-gb = 3.7x10(-3) +/- 0.0003, C-d,C-e,C-sl = 3.8x10(-3) +/- 0.0004) were significantly greater than in the nonentangled case (C-d,C-n = 3.2x10(-3) +/- 0.0003; P=0.0156, 0.0312, 0.0078, respectively). Increases in total power input (including standard metabolism) over the nonentangled condition ranged from 1.6% to 120.9% for all gear configurations tested; locomotory power requirements increased 60.0%-164.6%. These results highlight significant alteration to swimming patterns, and the magnitude of energy depletion in a chronically entangled whale.

SO MOLECULAR ECOLOGY RESOURCES LA English DT Article DE minor allele frequency; non-model species; RNA-seq; SNP development; Tripterygion delaisi ID SINGLE-NUCLEOTIDE POLYMORPHISMS; REFERENCE GENOME; SEQUENCING DATA; POPULATION; PARENTAGE; PISCES; BLENNIOIDEI; EVOLUTION; DISCOVERY; MARKERS AB Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are rapidly becoming the marker of choice in population genetics due to a variety of advantages relative to other markers, including higher genomic density, data quality, reproducibility and genotyping efficiency, as well as ease of portability between laboratories. Advances in sequencing technology and methodologies to reduce genomic representation have made the isolation of SNPs feasible for nonmodel organisms. RNA-seq is one such technique for the discovery of SNPs and development of markers for large-scale genotyping. Here, we report the development of 192 validated SNP markers for parentage analysis in Tripterygion delaisi (the black-faced blenny), a small rocky-shore fish from the Mediterranean Sea. RNA-seq data for 15 individual samples were used for SNP discovery by applying a series of selection criteria. Genotypes were then collected from 1599 individuals from the same population with the resulting loci. Differences in heterozygosity and allele frequencies were found between the two data sets. Heterozygosity was lower, on average, in the population sample, and the mean difference between the frequencies of particular alleles in the two data sets was 0.135 +/- 0.100. We used bootstrap resampling of the sequence data to predict appropriate sample sizes for SNP discovery. As cDNA library production is time-consuming and expensive, we suggest that using seven individuals for RNA sequencing reduces the probability of discarding highly informative SNP loci, due to lack of observed polymorphism, whereas use of more than 12 samples does not considerably improve prediction of true allele frequencies.

NeEstimator v2 includes three single-sample estimators (updated versions of the linkage disequilibrium and heterozygote-excess methods, and a new method based on molecular coancestry), as well as the two-sample (moment-based temporal) method. New features include the following: (i) an improved method for accounting for missing data; (ii) options for screening out rare alleles; (iii) confidence intervals for all methods; (iv) the ability to analyse data sets with large numbers of genetic markers (10000 or more); (v) options for batch processing large numbers of different data sets, which will facilitate cross-method comparisons using simulated data; and (vi) correction for temporal estimates when individuals sampled are not removed from the population (Plan I sampling). The user is given considerable control over input data and composition, and format of output files. The freely available software has a new JAVA interface and runs under MacOS, Linux and Windows.

TI Models of solar surface dynamics: impact on eigenfrequencies and radius SO MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article DE Sun: helioseismology ID STELLAR EVOLUTION CALCULATIONS; OF-STATE TABLES; NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS; GENERAL-PROPERTIES; MAIN-SEQUENCE; CONVECTION; FREQUENCIES; ATMOSPHERES; GRANULATION; SUN AB We study the effects of different descriptions of the solar surface convection on the eigenfrequencies of p modes. 1D evolution calculations of the whole Sun and 3D hydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the current surface are performed. These calculations rely on realistic physics. Averaged stratifications of the 3D simulations are introduced in the 1D solar evolution or in the structure models. The eigenfrequencies obtained are compared to those of 1D models relying on the usual phenomenologies of convection and to observations of the Michelson Doppler Imager instrument aboard the Solar Heliospheric Observatory (SoHO). We also investigate how the magnetic activity could change the eigenfrequencies and the solar radius, assuming that, 3 Mm below the surface, the upgoing plasma advects a 1.2 kG horizontal field. All models and observed eigenfrequencies are fairly close below 3 mHz. Above 3 mHz the eigenfrequencies of the phenomenological convection models are above the observed eigenfrequencies. The frequencies of the models based on the 3D simulations are slightly below the observed frequencies. Their maximum deviation is approximate to 3 mu Hz at 3 mHz but drops below 1 mu Hz at 4 mHz. Replacing the hydrodynamic by the magnetohydrodynamic simulation increases the eigenfrequencies. The shift is negligible below 2.2 mHz and then increases linearly with frequency to reach approximate to 1.7 mu Hz at 4 mHz. The impact of the simulated activity is a 14 mas shrinking of the solar layers near the optical depth unity.

Here, we use X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) in conjunction with near-edge X-ray absorption fine-structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy to probe both the global recovery of electronic structure in this material as well as to monitor evolution of the local structure of incorporated nitrogen atoms when graphene oxide is reduced under an ammonia gas environment at ambient and low pressures in the temperature range between 250 and 1000 degrees C. The local structure and extent of recovery of the pi-conjugated framework is correlated to electrical conductivity measurements. Angle-resolved C K-edge NEXAFS spectra along with O K-edge NEXAFS and C 1s high-resolution XPS spectra suggest that hydroxyl and epoxide functional groups on the basal plane of graphene oxide are eliminated upon annealing to a temperature of 250 degrees C, bringing about substantial restoration of the pi-conjugated framework of graphene. Furthermore, an increase in the in-plane orientation of constituent graphene oxide flakes is observed up to a temperature of 750 degrees C for annealing under both sets of conditions and is manifested as a greater spread in the intensity of the C K-edge pi* resonance as a function of angle of incidence of the X-ray beam. Angle-resolved N K-edge NEXAFS spectra and high-resolution N 1s XPS spectra supplement the global view of recovery of pi-conjugation with a local perspective of the chemical bonding environments of incorporated nitrogen atoms. Three distinct modes of nitrogen incorporation are evidenced: amine or nitrile like (N1), pyridinic (N2), and substitutional/graphitic (N3). The data suggest that nitrogen is initially incorporated as nitrile like functionalities at lower temperatures with these moieties protruding above and below the graphene basal plane; however, the nitrile and amine groups are subsequently transformed at higher temperatures through the elimination of oxygenated functional groups and reconstitution of the sp(2)-hybridized network to in-plane pyridinic and graphitic moieties. The latter two configurations are seen to substantially enhance the conductivity of reduced graphene oxide.

First, the multi-walled carbon nanotubes were functionalized via simple direct amination to be stabilized in the water with positive surface charge. Amine functionalized carbon nanotubes were deposited on polyurethane foam using layer-by-layer assembly with a TL approach. Additional polyethyleneimine layer promote the interaction between carbon nanotube and polymer layers resulting in uniform, durable and thick coating. The 440 +/- 47 nm thick 4 TL coatings of polyacrylic acid, polyethyleneimine functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes, and polyethyleneimine completely covers the entire internal and external surfaces of the foam. Microscopic images confirm strong polymer/nanotube interaction due to additional polyethyleneimine layer and well dispersed carbon nanotube network on the polyurethane foam surface.

Moreover, early life history information is sparse for many species. We used data from 14 microsatellite loci to characterize the genetic structure of young-of-the-year Pacific ocean perch collected during 1998-2003 from the Gulf of Alaska and Bering Sea. Broad-scale geographic variation in genetic structure of the young-of-the-year (F-ST=0.005, P<10(-4)) had similarities to that observed in a previous adult study. The overall correlation between genetic and geographic distance (isolation by distance) was nearly identical to that observed in the adults. Fine-scale geographic divergence was also observed and may be the result of oceanographic circulation features within the Gulf of Alaska. Interannual variation (between cohorts) at locations sampled in more than oneyear is consistent with variable oceanography and fine-scale population structure rather than the influence of a sweepstakes effect. The similarities of the young-of-the-year with the adults and the pattern of genetic divergence confirm that dispersal of Pacific ocean perch is limited in all life stages.

Two generalized additive models were fit: (i) spatio-temporal', including only latitude, longitude, month, and year; and (ii) oceanographic', including sea surface temperature (SST), chlorophyll-a concentration, wind velocity, bottom depth, and depth of mixed layer and year. The spatio-temporal model explained more (average similar to 40%) of the variability in catch rates than the oceanographic model (average similar to 30%). Modeled catch rate predictions showed that sailfish tend to aggregate off the southeast coast of Brazil during the peak of the spawning season (November to February). Sailfish also seem to aggregate for feeding in two different areas, one located in the mid-west Atlantic to the south of similar to 15 degrees S and another area off the north coast of Brazil. The oceanographic model revealed that wind velocity and chlorophyll-a concentration were the most important variables describing catch rate variability. The results presented herein may help to understand sailfish movements in the Atlantic Ocean and the relationship of these movements with environmental effects.

This can cause either an increase or a decrease in the apparent roughness average Ra, depending on the tip size and the ratio of peak width to valley width. Sometimes the change is larger than the combined measurement uncertainty from other sources. This raises the question as to whether measured surface parameters should be corrected for the effect of tip size. Published by Elsevier Inc. C1 [Song, J.; Renegar, T.

Hall, Alex Hughes, Mimi TI Sensitivity of southern California wind energy to turbine characteristics SO WIND ENERGY LA English DT Article DE wind energy; wind turbine characteristics; atmospheric science ID URBAN CANOPY MODEL; SPEED PROFILE; GENERATORS; ACCURACY; WRF AB Using output from a high-resolution meteorological simulation, we evaluate the sensitivity of southern California wind energy generation to variations in key characteristics of current wind turbines. These characteristics include hub height, rotor diameter and rated power, and depend on turbine make and model. They shape the turbine's power curve and thus have large implications for the energy generation capacity of wind farms. For each characteristic, we find complex and substantial geographical variations in the sensitivity of energy generation. However, the sensitivity associated with each characteristic can be predicted by a single corresponding climate statistic, greatly simplifying understanding of the relationship between climate and turbine optimization for energy production. In the case of the sensitivity to rotor diameter, the change in energy output per unit change in rotor diameter at any location is directly proportional to the weighted average wind speed between the cut-in speed and the rated speed. The sensitivity to rated power variations is likewise captured by the percent of the wind speed distribution between the turbines rated and cut-out speeds. Finally, the sensitivity to hub height is proportional to lower atmospheric wind shear. Using a wind turbine component cost model, we also evaluate energy output increase per dollar investment in each turbine characteristic. We find that rotor diameter increases typically provide a much larger wind energy boost per dollar invested, although there are some zones where investment in the other two characteristics is competitive. Our study underscores the need for joint analysis of regional climate, turbine engineering and economic modeling to optimize wind energy production. Copyright (c) 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Optical microscopes acquire these images as grids of overlapping partial images (thousands of pixels per side) that are then stitched together via software. Composing such large images is a compute and data intensive task even for modern machines. Researchers compound this difficulty further by obtaining time-series, volumetric, or multiple channel images with the resulting data sets now having or approaching terabyte sizes. We present a scalable hybrid CPU-GPU implementation of image stitching that processes large image sets at near interactive rates. Our implementation scales well with both image sizes and the number of CPU cores and GPU cards in a machine. It processes a grid of 42x59 tiles into a 17kx22k pixels image in 43 s (end-to-end execution times) when using one NVIDIA Tesla C2070 card and two Intel Xeon E-5620 quad-core CPUs, and in 29 s when using two Tesla C2070 cards and the same two CPUs. It also composes and renders the composite image without saving it in 15 s. In comparison, ImageJ/Fiji, which is widely used by biologists, has an image stitching plugin that takes > 3.6h for the same workload despite being multithreaded and executing the same mathematical operators; it composes and saves the large image in an additional 1.5 h. This implementation takes advantage of coarse-grain parallelism. It organizes the computation into a pipeline architecture that spans CPU and GPU resources and overlaps computation with data motion. The implementation achieves a nearly 10x performance improvement over our optimized non-pipeline GPU implementation and demonstrates near-linear speedup when increasing CPU thread count and increasing number of GPUs.

Specifically, this versatile method measures the dielectric properties of the sample in the Q-band, corresponding to a frequency range of 30 GHz to 50 GHz, and can be used with specimens that are either thinner or thicker than the radiation penetration depth. This method also involves an error correction model in order to accurately reconstruct the constitutive dielectric properties of the composites from the measured scattering parameters. In order to perform the error-correction only two reference scattering parameters measurements are required: one from a metal plate of known reflection coefficient and the other from air with no specimen. The simplicity of our error-correction model makes the method attractive for research, development, and for quality control in the manufacturing environment.

We focus on results that do not depend (or depend only weakly) on details of the device under test (DUT).

GP IEEE TI Quantum teleportation from a telecom-wavelength photon to a solid-state quantum memory SO 2014 CONFERENCE ON LASERS AND ELECTRO-OPTICS (CLEO) SE Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics LA English DT Proceedings Paper CT Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics (CLEO) CY JUN 08-13, 2014 CL San Jose, CA ID REPEATERS AB Quantum teleportation [1] is a cornerstone of quantum information science due to its essential role in several important tasks such as the long-distance transmission of quantum information using quantum repeaters [2-4]. In this context, a challenge of paramount importance is the distribution of entanglement between remote nodes, and to use this entanglement as a resource for long-distance light-to-matter quantum teleportation. We report on the demonstration of quantum teleportation of the polarization state of a telecom-wavelength photon onto the state of a solid-state quantum memory. Entanglement is established between a rare-earth-ion doped crystal storing a single photon that is polarization-entangled with a flying telecom-wavelength photon [5, 6]. The latter is jointly measured, using highly efficient superconducting WSi nanowire single-photon detectors [7], with another flying qubit carrying the polarization state to be teleported, which heralds the teleportation. The fidelity of the polarization state of the photon retrieved from the memory is shown to be greater than the maximum fidelity achievable without entanglement, even when the combined distances travelled by the two flying qubits is 25 km of standard optical fibre. This light-to-matter teleportation channel paves the way towards long-distance implementations of quantum networks with solid-state quantum memories.

Kinetic energy harvested from the human body motion seems to be one of the most convenient and attractive solutions for wearable wireless sensors in healthcare applications. Due to their small size, such sensors are often powered by small batteries which might necessitate frequent recharge or even sensor replacement. Energy harvesting can prolong the battery lifetime of these sensors. This could directly impact their everyday use and significantly help their commercial applications such as remote monitoring. In this paper, our aim is to develop a Simulink model of the CFPG device that can be used to study temporal behavior of the generated power. Having such a dynamic model, not only helps to have a more accurate estimation of the amount of power generated from various human movements, but also allows us to further optimize the design parameters of the micro-harvester (e.g. size/dimension, electrostatic holding force, etc.) with the characteristics of the input acceleration (i.e. human activity).

Optical atomic standards achieve extremely low frequency uncertainties in less than hundreds of seconds due to their unprecedented phase stability and accuracy. The desire for low white-FM noise that ordinarily required days of averaging for laboratory standards to attain full accuracy has been shifted to a need for low flicker-FM noise to maintain long-term frequency uncertainty with only seconds of averaging. This imposes new requirements for low levels of phase noise realizable by laser stabilization by a hi-Q optical cavity of a phase-coherent optical frequency comb. The multi-level frequency divider serves as a tool for synthesizing many low-phase noise frequencies. C1 [Howe, D. A.; Hati, A.; Nelson, C. W.] NIST, Div Time & Frequency, Boulder, CO 80305 USA.

Typical DSs include applications such as email, workflow, and records management, as well as system level features, such as file and access control management. Although access control (AC) currently plays an important role in imposing control over the execution of DS capabilities, AC can be more fundamental to computing than one might expect. That is, if properly designed, a single AC mechanism can simultaneously implement, control, and deliver capabilities of multiple DSs. The Policy Machine (PM) is an AC framework that has been designed with this objective in mind. This paper describes the PM features that provide a generic AC mechanism to implement DS capabilities, and comprehensively enforces mission tailored access control policies across DSs.

Many applications of BANs (e.g. physiological monitoring) require reliable communication of information between the sensor nodes and their controller. As there are currently no coordinating mechanisms among multiple co-located BANs, interference caused by co-channel transmission in adjacent BANs could impact the reliability and in general quality of the service experienced by a receiver node within an individual BAN. Here, we present a simulation platform that allows for statistical evaluation of interference in multi-BAN scenarios and performance of possible mitigation algorithms. Currently, there are no mechanisms for interfering BANs to explicitly coordinate their transmissions. As our analysis show, this may result in unacceptably high interference; and therefore, high link outage probability by the intended receiver. We propose uncoordinated approaches that could help to ease cross-interference among multiple adjacent BANs. Simulation results in our preliminary studies support the effectiveness of our approach.

This model is motivated by cross-sectional EBIC experiments on CdS-CdTe photovoltaic cells (prepared by cleaving, or focused ion beam milling). The experimental results clearly show that the maximum efficiency of carrier collection is less than 100 % and varies throughout the depletion region, contrary to the assumptions of most models used to interpret EBIC data. We describe a model which relaxes these assumptions by including recombination in the depletion region. We find that our model can reproduce experimental results only if the mobility-lifetime product mu T is spatially varying within the depletion region.

We research two related problems encountered during an execution of spatial computations over terabyte-sized images using Apache Hadoop running on distributed computing resources. The two problems address (a) detection of spatial computations and their parameter estimation from a library of image processing functions, and (b) partitioning of image data for spatial image computations on Hadoop cluster/cloud computing platforms in order to minimize network data transfer. The first problem is solved by designing an iterative estimation methodology. The second problem is formulated as an optimization over three partitioning schemas (physical, logical without overlap and logical with overlap), and evaluated over several system configuration parameters. Our experimental results for the two problems demonstrate 100% accuracy in detecting spatial computations in the Java Advanced Imaging and ImageJ libraries, a speed-up of 5.36 between the default Hadoop physical partitioning and developed logical image partitioning with overlap, and 3.14 times faster execution of logical partitioning with overlap than the one without overlap. The novelty of our work is in designing an extension to Apache Hadoop to run a class of spatial image processing operations efficiently on a distributed computing resource.

This paper describes an intelligent machine monitoring framework that integrates and utilizes data collection, management, and analytics to derive an adaptive predictive model for the energy usage of a milling machine. This model is designed using a Gaussian Process (GP) regression algorithm, which is a flexible regression method that also provides an uncertainty estimate. To improve computational efficiency, we propose a Collective Gaussian Process (CGP) in which the overall energy prediction is made by constructing local GP models weighted by probability distribution functions obtained using the Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) technique. Finally, we demonstrate the ability of the proposed monitoring framework to construct an energy prediction model to predict the energy used to machine a part.

Predictive analytics (using advanced machine learning) is particularly valuable in manufacturing, as it leads to production improvement with respect to the cost, quantity, quality and sustainability of manufactured products by anticipating changes to the manufacturing system states. Many small and medium manufacturers do not have the infrastructure, technical capability or financial means to take advantage of predictive analytics. A domain-specific language and framework for performing predictive analytics for manufacturing and production frameworks can counter this deficiency. In this paper, we survey some of the applications of predictive analytics in manufacturing and we discuss the challenges that need to be addressed. Then, we propose a core set of abstractions and a domain-specific framework for applying predictive analytics on manufacturing applications. Such a framework will allow manufacturers to take advantage of predictive analytics to improve their production.

An axiom in numerical weather prediction suggests that modeling the environment at high resolution optimizes forecast accuracy. However, due to operational time constraints, only the region immediately surrounding a single hurricane can be modeled in high resolution. Currently, this is achieved by embedding a relatively small high resolution, storm-following pair of grids within a larger and coarser grid. In a previous work, we extended HWRF to support multiple such independent storm-following pair of grids. The result was improved forecast accuracy by virtue of modeling storm-to-storm interactions in high resolution. However, some shortcomings in the underlying WRF framework cause these independent pairs of grids to be simulated sequentially. This limits the model's scalability and makes it impossible to harness this novel capability within the operational time constraints. In this paper, we address this issue by modifying the underlying WRF framework to simulate these independent pairs of storm-following grids in parallel. This is the first approach to be successfully implemented in the history of the WRF framework. C1 [Quirino, Thiago Santos] NOAA, Hurricane Res Div, US DOC, OAR,AOML,HRD, Miami, FL 33165 USA.

To alleviate this problem without discarding those data, the system should learn a species hierarchy so that high-level labels can be assigned to ambiguous data. In this paper, a systematic hierarchical partial classification algorithm is therefore proposed for underwater fish species recognition. Partial classification is applied at each level of the species hierarchy so that the coarse-to-fine categorization stops once the decision confidence is low. By defining the exponential benefit function, we formulate the selection of decision threshold as an optimization problem. Also, attributes from important fish anatomical parts are focused to generate discriminative feature descriptors. Experiments show that the proposed method achieves an accuracy up to 94%, with partial decision rate less than 5%, on underwater fish images with high uncertainty and class imbalance.

A reverberation chamber is well suited to perform this type of testing because it can expose the device under test to a radiated signal from all polarization and incidence angles. Testing devices by exposing them to a narrow-band or CW signal has been well documented. However, with the increase in broadband communication signals, device manufacturers and users are becoming more interested in the device's performance when exposed to a broadband signal. In this case study, measurements of cable television/telecommunications equipment (i.e., set-top boxes, modems) are used to examine the potential for interference from 4G/LTE signals. We show that several difficulties arise when testing with broadband signals, particularly when measuring the incident electric field. We also examine how different device configurations (i.e., cabling and/or the use of splitters) can significantly change device performance.

In order to maintain situational awareness in the cyber domain, security logs from these devices must be transmitted to command and control sites. We present a lightweight packing step that takes advantage of the restricted semantics and regular format of certain kinds of log files to render them substantially more amenable to compression with standard algorithms (especially Lempel-Ziv variants). We demonstrate that we can reduce compressed file sizes to as little as 21% of that of the maximally compressed file without packing. We can also reduce overall compression times up to 64% in our data sets. Our packing step permits lossless transmission of larger log files across the same network transmission medium, as well as permitting existing sets of logs to be transmitted within smaller network availability windows.

A system's privacy and security controls are more likely to be compromised due to the misconfiguration of access control policies rather than the failure of cryptographic primitives or protocols. This problem becomes increasingly severe as software systems become more and more complex, such as Big Data (BD) processing systems, which are deployed to manage a large amount of sensitive information and resources organized into a sophisticated BD processing cluster. Basically, BD access control requires the collaboration among cooperating processing domains to be protected as computing environments that consist of computing units under distributed AC managements. Many BD architecture designs were proposed to address BD challenges; however, most of them were focused on the processing capabilities of the "three Vs" (Velocity, Volume, and Variety). Considerations for security in protecting BD are mostly ad hoc and patch efforts. Even with some inclusion of security in recent BD systems, a critical security component, AC (Authorization), for protecting BD processing components and their users from the insider attacks, remains elusive. This paper proposes a general purpose AC scheme for distributed BD processing clusters. C1 [Ru, Vincent C.; Grance, Tim; Ferraiolo, David F.; Kuhn, D. Rick] NIST, Gaithersburg, MD 20899 USA.

GP IEEE TI Attribute Assurance for Attribute Based Access Control SO 2014 IT PROFESSIONAL CONFERENCE (IT PRO) LA English DT Proceedings Paper CT IT Professional Conference (IT Pro) CY MAY 22-22, 2014 CL GAITHERSBURG, MD SP IT PROFESSIONAL, SPOPS, IEEE COMPUTER SOC, NIST, NOBLIS AB In recent years, Attribute Based Access Control (ABAC) has evolved as the preferred logical access control methodology in the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community, as well as many other agencies across the federal government. Gartner recently predicted that "by 2020, 70% of enterprises will use attribute-based access control (ABAC) as the dominant mechanism to protect critical assets, up from less that 5% today." A definition and introduction to ABAC can be found in NIST Special Publication 800-162, Guide to Attribute Based Access Control (ABAC) Definition and Considerations and Intelligence Community Policy Guidance (ICPG) 500.2, Attribute-Based Authorization and Access Management. Within ABAC, attributes are used to make critical access control decisions, yet standards for attribute assurance have just started to be researched and documented. This presentation outlines factors influencing attributes that an authoritative body must address when standardizing attribute assurance and proposes some notional implementation suggestions for consideration. Attribute Assurance brings a level of confidence to attributes that is similar to levels of assurance for authentication (e.g., guidelines specified in NIST SP 800-63 and OMB M-04-04). There are three principal areas of interest when considering factors related to Attribute Assurance. Accuracy establishes the policy and technical underpinnings for semantically and syntactically correct descriptions of Subjects, Objects, or Environmental conditions. Interoperability considers different standards and protocols used for secure sharing of attributes between systems in order to avoid compromising the integrity and confidentiality of the attributes or exposing vulnerabilities in provider or relying systems or entities. Availability ensures that the update and retrieval of attributes satisfy the application to which the ABAC system is applied. In addition, the security and backup capability of attribute repositories need to be considered. Similar to a Level of Assurance (LOA), a Level of Attribute Assurance (LOAA) assures a relying party that the attribute value received from an Attribute Provider (AP) is accurately associated with the subject, resource, or environmental condition to which it applies. An Attribute Provider (AP) is any person or system that provides subject, object (or resource), or environmental attributes to relying parties regardless of transmission method. The AP may be the original, authoritative source (e.g., an Applicant). The AP may also receive information from an authoritative source for repacking or store-and-forward (e.g., an employee database) to relying parties or they may derive the attributes from formulas (e.g., a credit score). Regardless of the source of the AP's attributes, the same standards should apply to determining the LOAA. As ABAC is implemented throughout government, attribute assurance will be a critical, limiting factor in its acceptance. With this presentation, we hope to encourage dialog between attribute relying parties, attribute providers, and federal agencies that will be defining standards for ABAC in the immediate future.

Such vulnerabilities, if exploited, could be used to wreak havoc on users by stealing their information or controlling their mobile device. Given the billions of mobile apps in use today, security breaches threaten to occur on a very large scale. Fortunately, efforts have been made to address these vulnerabilities by developing tools to test for and identify them. Today, there are dozens of tools available for testing one or more known vulnerabilities. Unfortunately, however, no single tool has shown the ability to identify all potential vulnerabilities and thus, efforts have also been made to leverage multiple tools in order to provide sufficient vulnerability-detection coverage. These efforts have recently led to the development of systems for managing the testing of apps via multiple tools and for supporting the decision-making process for approving or rejecting apps prior to deployment on a mobile device. We refer to such systems as app vetting systems. App vetting systems comprise a number of actors and components and support a workflow that entails (1) the submission of apps by clients including developers and app stores, (2) the testing and analyses of apps via multiple tools including remote tool services and human analysts, (3) the combining of tool results into a single vulnerability risk assessment and (4) the approval or rejection of apps by a decision maker. App vetting systems are aimed primarily at organizations that have a persistent need to analyze large numbers of apps. Although the general concept of an app vetting system is simple, numerous issues and challenges exist with respect to their design, deployment and usage. To better understand some of these issues and challenges it is best to examine each phase of the app vetting workflow. During the submission phase, for example, issues surrounding intellectual property arise due to the storage and decompiling of apps on the app vetting system as well as other components including remote tool services used by the app vetting system. Here, challenges exist in developing and enforcing policies and usage agreements across all components used by an app vetting system to protect against intellectual property violations. During the testing phase, an app vetting system will process an app using multiple test tools. Perhaps the most obvious challenge with regard to test tools is the difficultly in selecting the most cost-effective set of tools necessary to satisfy the organization's mobile app security requirements (if they exist). In addition, challenges exist in integrating heterogeneous test tools with an app vetting system, underscoring the need for APIs and tool wrappers to be developed. Because an app vetting system must also be able to automatically combine results from multiple, disparate tools into a single vulnerability risk assessment, work is needed to develop standardized reporting formats and risk assessment metrics as well as novel algorithms to support this capability. Another tool-related issue concerns licensing, particularly with respect to commercial tools. Often, commercial tool licenses will restrict the number of apps that can be tested (or the number of lines of code that can be examined) by the tool or provide unrestricted usage at a very high cost. Unfortunately, it is often difficult to know a priori how many apps (or lines of code) will need to be tested so a challenge exists in selecting the most appropriate licensing agreements. A related challenge is deciding who (organization or client) will pay for using a commercial tool. This decision will likely impact the design and implementation of the app vetting system to support the desired business model. Ultimately, an app vetting system is used to facilitate decision-making in approving or rejecting apps. In general, the approval or rejection of an app can be automated in cases where tools detect no or low-risk vulnerabilities or if one or more tools detect a severe or high-risk vulnerability, respectively. It is the cases in between no-/low- risk and severe/high-risk vulnerabilities, however, that complicate the approval or rejection process. Here, several challenges exist including comparing disparate vulnerability reports with the organization's app security requirements and identifying acceptable risk thresholds for approving or rejecting an app. Sometimes, human analysts are employed to provide additional insight in order to facilitate the approval/rejection decision-making process, but this potentially leads to inconsistent results. In addition, protocols and procedures for accepting or rejecting an app must be defined. For example, approving an app may require the app vetting system to digitally sign and return the app to the client. In other cases, rejecting an app might require working with a developer to address identified vulnerabilities; such interaction may be contentious if developers disagree with risk assessments derived by the app vetting system, particularly if those assessments are based on false positive tool results. This presentation discusses the issues and challenges surrounding app vetting systems and provides lessons learned during the development and deployment of an app vetting system for the DARPA TransApps program.

The Internet, which has spanned several networks in a wide variety of domains, is having a significant impact on every aspect of our lives. The next generation of networks will utilize a wide variety of resources with significant sensing capabilities. Such networks will extend beyond physically linked computers to include multimodal-information from biological, cognitive, semantic, and social networks. This paradigm shift will involve symbiotic networks of people (social networks), smart devices, and smart phones or mobile personal computing and communication devices that will form net-centric societies or cyber-physical social systems. These devices - and the network - will be constantly sensing, monitoring, and interpreting the environment; this is sometimes referred to as the Internet of Things (IOT). The symbiosis of IOT and social networks will have significant implications for both the market for advanced computing and communication infrastructure and the future markets - for nearly 4.5 billion people -- that net-centric societies will create. In this talk I will discuss a future vision for healthcare, which will involve smart phones, smart devices, and social networks, and will discuss computing technologies that make this vision a reality.

JOHN'S SE OCEANS-IEEE LA English DT Proceedings Paper CT Oceans Conference CY SEP 14-19, 2014 CL St Johns, CANADA AB Vandalism of data buoys is a common and significant challenge across many buoy arrays. From accidental interference during fishing activities to deliberate desecration, data buoys endure a wide range of physical extremes from human activity, in addition to powerful environmental forces. In regions popular for commercial fishing, the impact of vandalism to oceanographic and meteorological data availability has been debilitating, with cases of newly deployed buoys having been lost within days - or even hours - following their deployment. Ocean observing programs cannot be effectively sustained with the level of attrition that has been wrought through vandalism. With the overwhelming majority of the buoy vandalism events perpetrated by fishing vessels, several Regional Fishery Management Organizations (RFMOs) have adopted similarly worded resolutions prohibiting fishing on, or near, data buoys. Violation of these resolutions can result in the offending fishing vessel being flagged for Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) fishing. Despite this protective measure, buoy vandalism continues to have a substantial impact on the availability of data from ocean observing programs. An act of buoy vandalism will often leave clues in the form of data signatures in telecommunicated messages, such as an unnatural or sudden shifts of buoy compass heading, unforeseen buoy movement, apparent and sudden water pressure excursions. To aid in monitoring suspected vandalism, the National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) has contracted Automatic Identification System (AIS) services to locate proximal vessels AIS transmitters. In 2012, a purse seine fishing vessel with an Ecuador flag was found through AIS data to be collocated with a Tropical Atmosphere Ocean (TAO) mooring, originally located at 5 degrees N 110 degrees W, over a distance of 12 nautical miles from the anchor location. In this case, NDBC had evidence in the form of anomalous buoy data and suspect AIS data. As an added mitigation measure, NDBC developed and deployed the first generation of the BuoyCAM to detect, and put a face on, the illegal fishing activities decimating portions of the TAO buoy array. In 2013, 10 BuoyCAMs were deployed amongst newly serviced TAO stations. The combination of camera data, analysis of buoy data signatures, and AIS information has allowed NDBC to document several incidents of vandalism with indisputable evidence. The BuoyCAMs captured willful and deliberate actions by large commercial fishing vessels that are in blatant violation of the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) resolution, C-11-03, prohibiting fishing on data buoys. In one such case, a Belize-flagged long-line fishing vessel was captured by a BuoyCAM moments before striking the TAO mooring at 5 degrees N 110 degrees W. This vessel incursion resulted in the catastrophic damage to the buoy super-structure, yielding a complete loss of station transmissions. Another case captured a Venezuela-flagged purse seine fishing vessel clearly tied off to the TAO mooring at 0 degrees 95 degrees W in the act of sling-shot fishing. The same, or identical, vessel was spotted the following day by a BuoyCAM at another nearby TAO station, located at 2 degrees S 95 degrees W, where it was seen to attach a suspected fish-aggregating device (FAD) directly to the hull of the data buoy.

JOHN'S SE OCEANS-IEEE LA English DT Proceedings Paper CT Oceans Conference CY SEP 14-19, 2014 CL St Johns, CANADA DE Habitat Models; Ocean Observing; Fisheries ID MID-ATLANTIC BIGHT; RADAR AB Since marine organisms are tightly coupled to the properties of the turbulent ocean fluid, the locations of critical habitat can change rapidly in time and space. Historically it has been difficult to measure these dynamic properties, but advances in ocean observing technologies allow us to measure many aspects of habitat (e.g. surface temperature, currents) and model others (e.g. bottom temperature, phytoplankton, zooplankton) over large spatial scales with fine temporal resolution. We observed a strong relationship between bottom temperature and butterfish (Peprilus triacanthus) distribution on the Mid Atlantic Bight continental shelf and used modeled temperature from 1958-2007 to observe changes in the spread of predicted habitat. Predicted habitat maps showed high seasonal and high interannual variability. This model was incorporated into the 2013 Butterfish stock assessment. In addition, observing platforms like gliders have become resources to expanding tracking studies that can now target pelagic habitats of the target species. We see these approaches as a step toward ecosystem based solutions that actually account for the measured dynamics of the system.

This long term investigation is part of the toxicity and carcinogenicity study on cell phone radiation funded by the National Toxicology Program of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. We exposed unrestrained rodents in reverberation chambers, which require accurate analysis of the dose as well as the uncertainty and variation due to the exposure environment, animal posture, and differences in the growth rates of individual rodents. For this purpose, six high-resolution anatomical models of rats and mice, plus five posture models of a male rat and male mice, were analyzed, and accurate whole-body and organ-specific specific absorption rates (SAR) were extracted and are reported. These detailed dosimetric results provide a comprehensive reference for studies of long-term biological effects of the exposure of rodents to RF energy.

The probe is based on the interaction of RF-fields with Rydberg atoms, where alkali atoms are excited optically to Rydberg states and the applied RF-field alters the resonant state of the atoms. For this probe, the Rydberg atoms are excited in a glass vapor cell. The Rydberg atoms act like an RF-to-optical transducer, converting an RF E-field to an optical-frequency response. The probe utilizes the concept of Electromagnetically Induced Transparency (EIT). The RF transition in the four-level atomic system causes a split of the EIT transmission spectrum for the probe laser. This splitting is easily measured and is directly proportional to the applied RF field amplitude. Therefore, by measuring this splitting we get a direct measurement of the RF E-field strength. The significant dipole response of Rydberg atoms over the GHz regime enables this technique to make traceable measurements over a large frequency band including 1-500 GHz. We will show that, with one probe, measurements can be made over a very large frequency range. This is a truly broadband probe/sensor. In this paper, we report on our results in the development of this probe.

The instrument includes a DC vector measurement at 1 sample/sec with a range of +/- 45,000 nT whose primary objective is to enable both V x B and E x B measurements that are more accurate than those provided when a simple magnetic field model is used instead. The magnetic field data can also be used for scientific research to provide information of large-scale ionospheric and magnetospheric current systems. At low latitudes the magnetic field residuals (data with the internal magnetic field model subtracted) are predominately produced by the stormtime ring current. Since C/NOFS provides a complete coverage of all local times every 97 minutes, magnetic field data allow studies of the temporal evolution and local-time variations of stormtime ring current. The analysis demonstrates the feasibility of using instrumented spacecraft in low-inclination orbits to specify the ring current's evolution and local time asymmetry. We will present the results of a statistical study of the stormtime ring current.

We validate this technique by quantitatively analyzing a conjunction event between the Van Allen Probes and POES, and find that the inferred hiss wave amplitudes from POES electron measurements agree remarkably well with directly measured hiss waves amplitudes. We also use this technique to construct the global distribution of chorus wave intensity with extensive coverage over a broad L-MLT region during the 8-9 October 2012 storm and demonstrate that the inferred chorus wave amplitudes agree well with conjugate measurements of chorus wave amplitudes from the Van Allen Probes. The evolution of the whistler-mode wave intensity inferred from low-altitude electron measurements can provide real-time global estimates of the wave intensity, which cannot be obtained from in-situ wave measurements by equatorial satellites alone, but are crucial in quantifying radiation belt electron dynamics.

Recently, space-borne high-resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has been found to be a potential tool for rainfall observation. However, many interesting phenomenon of rain-wind over sea surface as revealed by SAR images are still not fully understood. This paper attempts to develop a physics-based radiative transfer model to capture the scattering behavior of rainfall over rough sea surface. Raindrop scattering and attenuation is modeled as Rayleigh spherical particle, while rain-induced rough surface is described by the Log-Gaussian ring-wave spectrum. The model is compared with empirical models and measurements. C1 [Xu, Feng; Jin, Ya-Qiu] Fudan Univ, Key Lab Informat Sci Electromagnet Waves MoE, Shanghai 200433, Peoples R China.

Moreover the capability to preserve high classification rate even with a faulty sensor allows replacing and calibrating a sensor during the measurement itself.

Can one construct OTM's whose security follows from some physical principle? This is not possible in a fully-classical world, or in a fully-quantum world, but there is evidence that OTM's can be built using "isolated qubits" - qubits that cannot be entangled, but can be accessed using adaptive sequences of single-qubit measurements. Here we present new constructions for OTM's using isolated qubits, which improve on previous work in several respects: they achieve a stronger "single-shot" security guarantee, which is stated in terms of the (smoothed) min-entropy; they are proven secure against adversaries who can perform arbitrary local operations and classical communication (LOCC); and they are efficiently implementable. These results use Wiesner's idea of conjugate coding, combined with error-correcting codes that approach the capacity of the q-ary symmetric channel, and a high-order entropic uncertainty relation, which was originally developed for cryptography in the bounded quantum storage model.

Recent findings suggest however that formation in the aqueous-phase of aerosols might contribute substantially to ambient SOA load. In this work we investigate the contribution of glyoxal to SOA through chemical processes associated with aerosols. Both a very simple and a more explicit mechanism of SOA formation from glyoxal was included in the regional chemistry transport model WRF/Chem. We simulated the first 2 weeks of June 2010 over the domain of California to make use of the extensive dataset collected during the CARES/CalNex field campaigns to evaluate our simulations. Contributions to total SOA mass were found to range from 1 to 15 % in the LA basin, and < 1 to 9 % in the isoprene-rich eastern slopes of the Central Valley. We find that the simple approach previously used in box as well as global modeling studies gives the highest contributions. A combination of reversible partitioning and volume pathways can provide comparable amounts only if partitioning of glyoxal into the aerosol liquid-phase is instantaneous.

The analog of a forecast for a given location and time is defined as a past prediction that matches selected features of the current forecast. The first method is the weighted average of the observations that verified when the best analogs were valid (AN). The second method consists in applying a postprocessing algorithm inspired by the Kalman filter (KF) to AN (KFAN). The AN and KFAN are tested for ground level ozone and PM2.5 0-48 h predictions from the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model, with observations from 1602 surface stations from the EPA AirNow network over the continental United States for a 1-year period. Preliminary results of the new methods include a large reduction of the systematic and random errors of the direct model output, with an increase of the correlation between observations and predictions at all forecast lead times.

S. National Air Quality Forecasting Capability (NAQFC) provides air quality forecast for the nation by disseminating numerical model predicted surface concentration of O3 and PM2.5 to the public. However, the fidelity of NAQFC is dependent on the accuracies of the emission projection factors employed to estimate the various emissions. This study focuses on comparing variability of surface NOx and O3 concentrations for two emission modeling scenarios for July of 2011: the Base Case and a New Emission Case. The Base Case used the U. S. EPA 2005 National Emission Inventory (NEI2005), its projection procedures adhered to a standard practice used by NAQFC since its inception in 2003. The New Emission Case adopted a scaling procedure based on more recent EPA data demonstrated a significant reduction of the mobile source's share of NOx emission among the major contributors. It reduced from 33.6 % in the Base Case to 25.2 % in the New Emission Case. This is even more significant if one takes into account the large increase in vehicle miles traveled since 2005. The NOx SIP Call had achieved significant reduction of NOx emission from power plants, but still lagged behind that achieved by the reduction in the on-road vehicular (mobile) exhausts. Geographically population change trends in the last decade do not necessarily translates into proportional changes in NOx emission.

It influences strongly the daily maximum surface level ozone concentrations. We utilize Spatial Synoptic Classification methodology, surface ozone simulations from the NOAA National Air Quality Forecast Capability and observations from the US EPA Air Quality System, to investigate the behavior of surface ozone and air quality model's performance in different synoptic weather patterns. This study was conducted for the following six air quality air-shed regions: California (CA), Michigan Lake (MI), Ohio River Valley (OV), Northeastern (NE), Southeastern (SE), and Texas (TX), during the ozone season (May to September) in years 2009-2011. Based on air mass' thermal characteristics and origins, the SSC methodology provides six types of air mass classifications: Dry Polar (DP), Dry Moderate (DM), Dry Tropical (DT), Moisture Polar (MP), Moisture Moderate (MM), and Moisture Tropical (MT). Results show distinct behaviors of ozone's magnitude and model's performance among the various air mass types, implying the impact of synoptic weather patterns to regional air quality, and NAQFC's success in reproducing these patterns. The MT and DT air mass types are the most important types conducive to high surface ozone episodes throughout their occurrence frequency and high ozone production efficiency, respectively. The MT air mass also shows highest in both mean bias and root mean square error, implying the high uncertainty in model performance due to cloudy or unstable atmospheric conditions.

Here we demonstrate how to utilize satellite oceanic and atmospheric products to improve emission forecasting. First, we present the development and validation of a global high resolutionmarine isoprene emission product. Isoprene emission is calculated from NOAA global weather forecasting data and Chlorophyll-a and light attenuation rate at 490 nm (K490) data derived from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS) aboard Aqua. The emission product is validated with isoprene measurements from field campaigns. In the second case, nitrogen dioxide (NO2) data from the EPA Air Quality System (AQS) and the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) are used to examine the long-term trends in nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions for the NOAA National Air Quality Forecasting Capability (NAQFC). Comparing of summertime NOx data from OMI, NAQFC and AQS over New York between 2005 and 2011 shows a similar reduction level from all datasets (33 % reduction from 2005 to 2011), but OMI and AQS agree better while NAQFC emission inventories fail to catch the gradual progression of emission reduction. These case studies, in addressing various aspects of emission uncertainty, collectively demonstrate that satellite remote sensing can play an important role in improving emission forecasting and, hopefully, air quality predictions.

We use an online meteorology-chemistry model WRF-Chem and an assimilation system which includes the Gridpoint Statistical Intepolation (GSI) and an Ensemble Kalman Filter. We note large initial benefit of data assimilation and relatively quick deterioration of forecast verification scores with time. Causes for such deterioration include deficiencies of the initial state resulting from the lack of observations of the individual aerosol species and their vertical distribution, weaknesses of chemical and physical parameterizations and errors in emission sources.

We combine ozone profile data from the NASA Earth Observing System (EOS) Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer (TES) and a new joint product from TES and the Ozone Monitoring Instrument along with ozonesonde measurements and EPA AirNow ground station ozone data to examine air quality events during August 2006 in the Community Multi-Scale Air Quality (CMAQ) and National Air Quality Forecast Capability (NAQFC) models. We present both aggregated statistics and case-study analyses with the goal of assessing the relationship between the models' ability to reproduce surface air quality events and their ability to capture the vertical distribution of ozone. We find that the models lack the mid-tropospheric ozone variability seen in TES and the ozonesonde data, and discuss future work to determine the conditions under which this variability appears to be important for surface air quality.

We aim to provide the air quality science community with three-dimensional (3D) reanalysis atmospheric chemical fields over the conterminous U.S. (CONUS). This initial 3D gridded reanalysis product is available at 12 km horizontal grid spacing with 22 uneven vertical levels extending from surface to 100 hPa. The principal components of the modeling system are the Weather Research and Forecasting meteorological model, a chemical data assimilation model based on an optimal interpolation scheme, and the U.S. EPA Community Multi-scale Air Quality modeling system (CMAQ). Only the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectro-radiometer (MODIS) Aerosol Optical Depth observations are assimilated as we focus on the aerosol reanalysis at this early stage. CMAQ predictions before and after the assimilation are evaluated against the AIRNow surface PM2.5 (Particulate Matter smaller than 2.5 mu m in diameter) measurements. Based on the preliminary results, the future directions to improve the chemistry reanalysis modeling system are discussed.

These measurement campaigns are collectively called the Deriving Information on Surface Conditions from Column and Vertically Resolved Observations Relevant to Air Quality (DISCOVER-AQ) project. The emphasis of spatial collocation of multiple space-, air-and ground-based measurements facilitate the characterization of the vertical distribution of various air pollutants. During the January 16 to February 8, 2013 DISCOVER-AQ campaign over the San Joaquin Valley (SJV), California, one of the frontier science questions addressed concerned the frequent wintertime Particulate Matter (PM) standard violation over SJV and its vicinities. This study represents our contribution of real-time air quality forecasting to support flight-planning during the campaign as well as post analysis and model evaluation for some of the air pollutants. Two sets of real-time forecasts based on a coupled National Center for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) North American Model (NAM) and the U.S. EPA Community Multi-scale Air Quality Model (CMAQ) are included in the study: (1) a 12 km horizontal resolution domain over the Conterminous U.S., and (2) a 4 km resolution domain over the SJV and its adjacent areas nested-in from (1) as its parent. During the campaign there were several episodes of high surface PM concentration in the lowest hundreds of meters over SJV. We performed post-analyses of meteorological parameters such as the planetary boundary height and of chemical characteristics such as verification of modeled concentration of PM components at surface levels. Comparisons of the performance of the two forecasts will shed insight on horizontal resolution requirement to capture the meteorology and chemistry characteristics in SJV air quality modeling. These analyses will aid policy and regulatory relevant decisions as well as assist in improving the model for future applications.

Research performed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, in conjunction with the U.S. Department of transportation and ASME committee B31.12 (Hydrogen Piping and Pipelines), has resulted in a phenomenological model to predict fatigue crack growth of API pipeline steels cyclically loaded in high-pressure gaseous hydrogen. The full model predicts hydrogen-assisted (HA) fatigue crack growth (FCG) as a function of applied load and hydrogen pressure. Implementation of the model into an engineering format is crucial for the realization of safe, cost-effective pipelines for the nation's hydrogen infrastructure. Working closely with ASME B31.12, two simplified iterations of the model have been created for an engineering-based code implementation. The engineering-based iterations are detailed here and the benefits of both are discussed. A case study is then presented detailing the use of both versions. The work is concluded with a discussion of the potential impact that model implementation would have upon future hydrogen pipeline installations.

Four steels were selected, two X52 and two X70 alloys. Other variables included hydrogen gas pressures of 5.5 MPa and 34 MPa, a load ratio, R, of 0.5, and cyclic loading frequencies of 1 Hz, 0.1 Hz, and a few tests at 0.01 Hz. Of particular interest to ASME. and DOT was whether the X70 materials would exhibit higher fatigue crack growth rates than the X52 materials. API steels are designated based on yield strength and monotonic tensile tests have historically shown that loss of ductility correlates with increase in yield strength. The X70 materials performed on par with the X52 materials in fatigue. The test matrix, the overall set of data, implications for the future, and lessons learned during the 3-year extensive test program will be discussed.

Wang, Lili TI Quantifying CD4 receptor protein in two human CD4+lymphocyte preparations for quantitative flow cytometry SO CLINICAL PROTEOMICS LA English DT Article DE Cryopreserved peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC); Lyophilized Cyto-Trol (TM); CD4 receptor density; Flow cytometry; Multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mass spectrometry (MS); Scanning electron microscopy (SEM); Microvilli; Cell surface area AB Background: In our previous study that characterized different human CD4+ lymphocyte preparations, it was found that both commercially available cryopreserved peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and a commercially available lyophilized PBMC (Cyto-Trol T) preparation fulfilled a set of criteria for serving as biological calibrators for quantitative flow cytometry. However, the biomarker CD4 protein expression level measured for T helper cells from Cyto-Trol was about 16% lower than those for cryopreserved PBMC and fresh whole blood using flow cytometry and mass cytometry. A primary reason was hypothesized to be due to steric interference in anti-CD4 antibody binding to the smaller sized lyophilized control cells. Method: Targeted multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mass spectrometry (MS) is used to quantify the copy number of CD4 receptor protein per CD4+ lymphocyte. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is utilized to assist searching the underlying reasons for the observed difference in CD4 receptor copy number per cell determined by MRM MS and CD4 expression measured previously by flow cytometry. Results: The copy number of CD4 receptor proteins on the surface of the CD4+ lymphocyte in cryopreserved PBMCs and in lyophilized control cells is determined to be (1.45 +/- 0.09) x 10(5) and (0.85 +/- 0.11) x 10(5), respectively, averaged over four signature peptides using MRM MS. In comparison with cryopreserved PBMCs, there are more variations in the CD4 copy number in lyophilized control cells determined based on each signature peptide. SEM images of CD4+ lymphocytes from lyophilized control cells are very different when compared to the CD4+ T cells from whole blood and cryopreserved PBMC. Conclusion: Because of the lyophilization process applied to Cyto-Trol control cells, a lower CD4 density value, defined as the copy number of CD4 receptors per CD4+ lymphocyte, averaged over three different production lots is most likely explained by the loss of the CD4 receptors on damaged and/or broken microvilli where CD4 receptors reside. Steric hindrance of antibody binding and the association of CD4 receptors with other biomolecules likely contribute significantly to the nearly 50% lower CD4 receptor density value for cryopreserved PBMC determined from flow cytometry compared to the value obtained from MRM MS.

Much of the information available on the reproductive condition, length at sexual maturity and sex determinations of endangered species has been derived from direct examination of the gonads in dead animals, either intentionally or incidentally caught, or from stranded individuals. However, morphological data, when used alone, do not provide accurate demographic information in sexually monomorphic marine vertebrate species (e.g. sharks, sea turtles, seabirds and cetaceans). Hormone determination is an accurate and non-destructive method that provides indirect information about sex, reproductive condition and sexual maturity of free-ranging individuals. Correlations between sex steroid concentrations and biochemical parameters, gonadal development and state, reproductive behaviour and secondary external features have been already demonstrated in many species. Different non-lethal approaches (e.g. surgical and mark-recapture procedures), with intrinsic advantages and disadvantages when applied on free-ranging organisms, have been proposed to asses sex, growth and reproductive condition. Hormone determination from blood samples will generate valuable additional demographic information needed for stock assessment and biological conservation.

The DRMF addresses needs of working mathematicians, physicists and engineers: providing a platform for publication and interaction with OPSF formulae on the web. Using MediaWiki extensions and other existing technology (such as software and macro collections developed for the NIST Digital Library of Mathematical Functions), the DRMF acts as an interactive web domain for OPSF formulae. Whereas Wikipedia and other web authoring tools manifest notions or descriptions as first class objects, the DRMF does that with mathematical formulae.

LATEXML provides a reimplementation of the TEX parser, geared towards preserving macro semantics; it supports an array of output formats, notably IITML5, EPUB, XIITML and its own LATEX-near XML. Other highlights include enhancing performance when used inside high-throughput build-systems, via incorporating a native ZIP archive workflow, as well as a simplified installation procedure that now allows to deploy LaTeXML as a cloud service. To this end, we also introduce an official plugin-based scheme for publishing new features that go beyond the core scope of LaTeXML, such as web services or unconventional post processors. The software suite has now migrated to GitHub and we welcome forks and patches from the wider FLOSS community. C1 [Ginev, Deyan] Jacobs Univ Bremen, Comp Sci, D-28759 Bremen, Germany.

TI Magnetic depth profile in GaMnAs layers with vertically graded Mn concentrations SO JOURNAL OF MAGNETISM AND MAGNETIC MATERIALS LA English DT Article DE GaMnAs; Diluted magnetic semiconductors ID FILMS; MEDIA AB Controlled vertical grading of magnetization of the ferromagnetic semiconductor GaMnAs represents a significant step toward optimizing its magnetic properties for device applications. Quantitative control of such grading is difficult due to various competing effects, such as Mn diffusion, self-annealing, and diffusion of charge carriers. Furthermore, there are also several surface effects that can influence the magnetization profile, which should be considered in designing and fabricating graded GaMnAs specimens. However, we show that vertical magnetization gradients in GaMnAs layers can be readily achieved by appropriate growth strategies. In this paper we describe the preparation, magnetization measurements, and polarized neutron reflectometry studies of vertically graded GaMnAs layers, which provide direct evidence that vertical grading of Mn concentration has been successfully achieved in our GaMnAs samples. Our measurements also indicate that these graded samples exhibit. magnetic "hardening" near the surface. Published by Elsevier B.V. C1 [Leiner, J.] Oak Ridge Natl Lab, Oak Ridge, TN 37831 USA.

TI Constraints on the possible long-range orbital ordering in LaCoO3 SO JOURNAL OF MAGNETISM AND MAGNETIC MATERIALS LA English DT Article DE Crystal structure; Cobaltite; Neutron diffraction; Jahn-Teller; Orbital ordering; Spin-state ID STATE AB A neutron powder diffraction measurement was performed to distinguish between the proposed monoclinic (12/a) structure of LaCoO3, which is consistent with orbital ordering, and the rhombohedral (R (3) over barc) structure, which is inconsistent with orbital ordering. These two structures were differentiated through a measurement of a superlattice reflection with a d-spacing of approximately 4.43 angstrom which is only generated by 12/a. This reflection was not observed, and instead a restrictive upper bound was placed on its structure factor. The data is inconsistent with the monoclinic structure and suggests that there may be no long-range Jahn-Teller distortion in LaCoO3. Published by Elsevier B.V.

This comparison was a follower to the CCM.P-K3 comparison. Two ionization gauges and two spinning rotor gauges (SRGs) were used as the transfer standards for the comparison. The SRGs were used to compare the standards at a pressure of 9 x 10(-4) Pa and to normalize the ionization gauge readings. The two ionization gauges were used to compare the standards in the pressure range of 3 x 10(-6) Pa to 3 x 10(-4) Pa. Both laboratories used dynamic expansion chambers as standards in the comparison. The two labs showed excellent agreement to each other and to the CCM.P-K3 key comparison reference value (KCRV) over the entire range. C1 [Fedchak, J. A.] NIST, Gaithersburg, MD 20899 USA.

Many Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) have been detected by current orbiting instruments on-board SOHO/LASCO and STEREO-A and B. During the period of July 2012 three consecutive CMEs were observed on July 17 (similar to 13:54UT), July 18 (similar to 06:24UT) and July 19 (similar to 05:39UT) from three different source regions on the solar surface located at S23W61, N18W180 and S17W92. Their corresponding average speeds were 802, 713, and 1160 km s(-1), respectively. Multiple interplanetary (IP) shocks and CMEs arrived at the twin STEREO-A/B, SOHO/LASCO, ACE and WIND spacecraft where STEREO-A and STEREO-B were orbiting near 121 degrees West and 114 degrees East of the Sun-Earth line. The orbit of ACE and SOHO/LASCO were at L1 and WIND was near the Sun-Earth line. This unique line-up gave us opportunity to test the simulation of CMEs propagation and its induced IP shocks. Thus, we have used a well-developed global three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model (Wu et al. 2007a) to perform forward MHD modeling to investigate the evolution of these CMEs and IP shocks. Using simulation results together with observations we found that an IP shock driven by the July 18 CME arrived at S IEREO-B first, another IP shock driven by the July 19 CME arrived at STEREO-A, then the flank of an IP shock driven by the July 17 CME arrived at Earth. The observations from both coronal images and in-situ solar wind measurements are used to assess the reality of the IP shock arrival time from the simulation. C1 [Wu, S.

Despite a large number of CWP tests having been conducted at great expense over many decades, an industry consensus standard remains unavailable. considerable effort at several research institutions is focused on the standardization of test protocols. It is widely recognized that comparing results from CWP tests from different institutions is difficult without accounting for all the possible parametric differences. This paper presents the procedural details recently used in testing X100 girth welds. The protocols cover (1) specimen design and dimensions, (2) instrumentation plan and data acquisition, (3) specimen fabrication and preparation, (4) preparing and executing the tests, (5) processing of raw test data and (6) post-test metallurgical examination. The evaluation of specimen deformation, flaw growth, and comparison of test data with model predictions will be presented in a future paper. Selected CWP test data from this program were evaluated and compared to tensile strain models of the girth welded pipe in a recent paper [1]. C1 [Weeks, Timothy S.; McColskey, J.

The SE(T) specimen with appropriate notch geometry is a low-constraint specimen designed to reduce conservatism in the measurement of fracture toughness. The crack driving force is taken as either the J-integral or crack tip opening displacement (CTOD); it is generally accepted that the two parameters are interchangeable and equivalent using a simple closed form solution. However, the assumption that they are interchangeable, and to what extent, hasn't been previously investigated experimentally on the same SE(T) specimen. This paper presents multiple test methods that were simultaneously employed on the same SE(T) specimens. The instrumentation includes: clip -gauges to measure surface crack mouth opening displacements (CMOD) and CTOD by the double-clip-gauge method; strain-gage arrays for direct J -integral measurements; and direct-current potential-drop (DCPD) instrumentation for supplementary crack size measurement. A direct comparison of ductile crack-growth resistance curves generated using J integral and CTOD is presented here where each represents a different experimental and analytical approach. The two methods are in reasonable agreement over a narrow range of crack growth, differing slightly at initiation and diverging with increasing crack growth. Analysis of the supplementary instrumentation (i.e., strain gages, extensometers and DCPD) will be provided in a future publication. C1 [Weeks, Timothy S.; Lucon, Enrico] NIST, Boulder, CO USA.

In this work, we consider a fixed experimental sample budget and address the problem of how best to allocate this budget across three attributes when the attribute value estimates have a normally distributed measurement error. We illustrate that the allocation choice impacts the decision-maker's ability to select the true best alternative. Through a simulation study we evaluate the performance of a common allocation approach of uniformly distributing the sample budget across the three attributes. We compare these results to the performance of several allocation rules that leverage the decision-maker's preferences. We found that incorporating the decision-maker's preferences into the allocation choice improves the probability of selecting the true best alternative.

A Multivariate Probabilistic Collocation Method (M-PCM) was developed to effectively evaluate system uncertainty. The method smartly chooses a limited number of simulations to produce a low-order mapping, which precisely predicts the mean output of the original system mapping up to certain degrees. While the M-PCM significantly reduces the number of simulations, it does not scale with the number of uncertain parameters, making it difficult to use for large-scale applications that typically involve a large number of uncertain parameters. In this paper, we develop a method to break the curse of dimensionality. The method integrates M-PCM and Orthogonal Fractional Factorial Designs (OFFDs) to maximally reduce the number of simulations from 22m to 2. log2(m+ 1). for a system mapping of m parameters. The integrated M-PCM-OFFD predicts the correct mean of the original system mapping, and is the most robust to numerical errors among all possible designs of the same number of simulations. The analysis also provides new insightful formal interpretations on the optimality of OFFDs. C1 [Xie, Junfei; Wan, Yan; Zhou, Yi] Univ North Texas, Dept Elect Engn, Denton, TX 76207 USA.

It is usually difficult for application developers to find access to real manufacturing data streams for testing new data analytics applications. Virtual factories can be developed to generate the data for selected measures in formats matching those of real factories. The vision of a virtual factory has been around for more than a couple decades. Advances in technologies for computation, communication, and integration and in associated standards have made the vision of a virtual factory within reach now. This paper discusses requirements for a virtual factory to meet the needs of manufacturing data analytics applications. A framework for the virtual factory is proposed that leverages current technology and standards to help identify the developments needed for the realization of virtual factories.

The challenge has shifted from collecting a sufficient amount of data to analyzing and making decisions based on the huge amount of data available. Data analytics (DA) can help understand and gain insights from the big data and in turn help advance towards the vision of smart manufacturing. Modeling and simulation have been used by manufacturers to analyze their operations and support decision making. This paper proposes multiple methods in which simulation can serve as a DA application or support other DA applications in manufacturing environment to address big data issues. An example case is discussed to demonstrate one use of simulation. In the presented case, a virtual representation of machining operations is used to generate the data required to evaluate manufacturing data analytics applications.

Recent advances in modeling and simulation of AM processes and materials are providing new insights to help overcome some of the barriers that have hindered adoption. However, these models and simulations are often application specific, and few are developed in an easily reusable manner. Variations are compounded because many models are developed as independent or proprietary efforts, and input and output definitions have not been standardized. To further realize the potential benefits of modeling and simulation advancements, including predictive modeling and closed-loop control, more coordinated efforts must be undertaken. In this paper, we advocate a more harmonized approach to model development, through classification and metamodeling that will support model composability, reusability, and integration. We review several types of AM models and use direct metal powder bed fusion characteristics to provide illustrative examples of the proposed classification and metamodel approach. We describe how a coordinated approach can be used to extend modeling capabilities by promoting model composability. As part of future work, a framework is envisioned to realize a more coherent strategy for model development and deployment.

First, we present-an algorithm for establishing planar datums suitable for a default in tolerancing standards. The algorithm is based on a constrained minimization search based on the L-1 (L1) norm after forming a convex surface from the original surface or sampled points. We prove that the problem reduces to a simple minimization search between the convex surface and its centroid. The data points in the discrete case do not need to have any corresponding weights provided with them, as appropriate weighting is part of the algorithm itself thereby making the algorithm largely insensitive to nonuniformly sampled data points. Terse Mathematica code is included for the reader. The code is sufficient for constrained and unconstrained planar fitting as well as a 3-2-1 datum reference frame generation. The second goal of this paper is to compare this new method with several other possible means for establishing datum planes, ultimately showing several appealing characteristics of the proposed algorithm. Since both the ISO and ASME standardization efforts are actively working to establish datum plane definitions, the timing of such a study is opportune.

The QTF sensor consists of two identical, weakly-coupled tines with a sharp tip affixed to the distal end of one tine. The fundamental anti phase mode of the QTF achieves a stable resonant frequency with a high Quality factor making it ideal for DAFM applications in which a small shift in the resonant frequency is linked to a tip sample force. The addition of the tip-sample force also breaks the symmetry of the QTF leading to a classic eigenvalue veering scenario. The eigenvalue veering and accompanying mode localization phenomena violate the standard DAFM modeling assumptions which treat the addition of the tip-sample force as a small perturbation to a single-degree-of-freedom oscillator. We find that the eigenvalue veering can contribute a systematic error in force measurements on the order of 20%. Methodology for correcting the systematic error caused by eigenvalue veering is proposed. C1 [Melcher, John] NIST, Quantum Measurement Div, Mass & Force Grp, Gaithersburg, MD 20899 USA.

The Earth system modeling community is driven to finer resolution grids and faster execution times by the need to provide accurate weather and seasonal forecasts, long term climate projections, and information about societal impacts such as droughts and floods. The models used in these simulations are generally written by teams of specialists, with each team focusing on a specific physical domain, such as the atmosphere, ocean, or sea ice. These specialized components are connected where their surfaces meet to form composite models that are largely self-consistent and allow for important cross-domain feedbacks. Since the components are often developed independently, there is a need for standard component interfaces and "coupling" software that transforms and transfers data so that outputs match expected inputs in the composite modeling system. The Earth System Modeling Framework (ESMF) project began in 2002 as a multi-agency effort to define a standard component interface and architecture, and to pool resources to develop shareable utilities for common functions such as grid remapping, time management and I/O. The ESMF development team was charged with making the infrastructure sufficiently general to accommodate many different numerical approaches and legacy modeling systems, as well as making it reliable, portable, well-documented, accurate, and high performance. To satisfy this charge, the development team needed to develop innovative numerical and computational methods, a formal and rigorous approach to interoperability, and distributed development and testing processes that promote software quality. ESMF has evolved to become the leading U.S. framework in the climate and weather communities, with users including the Navy, NASA, the National Weather Service, and community models supported by the National Science Foundation. In this talk, we will present ESMF's evolution, approach, and future plans. C1 [DeLuca, Cecelia] Univ Colorado, NOAA Earth Syst Res Lab, Cooperat Inst Res Environm Sci, Boulder, CO 80309 USA.

To clarify the species' distribution and habitat preferences, we compiled and reviewed all available (published and unpublished) records of sightings and captures of this species for the past 62 years (1950-2012, n=8068 records). Stranding records were not included. The results showed that the species has a range that extends across ocean basins and spans between at least 64 degrees N and 46 degrees S, and is apparently absent from high-latitude polar waters. Although Risso's dolphins occur in all habitats from coastal to oceanic, they show a strong range-wide preference for mid-temperate waters of the continental shelf and slope between 30 degrees and 45 degrees latitude. Although a number of misconceptions about the distributional ecology of Risso's dolphin have existed, this analysis showed that it is a widespread species. It strongly favours temperate waters and prefers continental shelf and slope waters to oceanic depths. These habitat preferences appear to hold throughout much or all of the species' range.

Li2Mg(BH4)(4)center dot 6NH(3), which is comprised of orderly arranged Mg[NH3](6)(2+) ammine complexes and Li-2[BH4](4)(2-) complex anions, was synthesized by the mechanochemical reaction between Mg(BH4)(2)center dot 6NH(3) and LiBH4. This novel compound crystallizes in a tetragonal P4(3)2(1)2 (No. 96) structure with lattice parameters a = b = 10.7656(8) angstrom and c = 13.843(1) angstrom with very short dihydrogen bonds, which determine a very low onset temperature of 80 degrees C for hydrogen release and are also responsible for the nucleation of Li2Mg(BH4)(4)center dot 3NH(3) as a decomposition intermediate. Mechanistic investigations on the thermal decomposition showed that the H delta+-H delta- combination in the ammoniastabilized mixed-cation borohydride was significantly enhanced due to the strengthened Mg-N bonds. Upon heating, 11.02 moles of H-2 (equivalent to 11.1 wt%) and 3.07 moles of NH3 are evolved from one mole of Li2Mg(BH4)(4)center dot 6NH(3) with a three-step reaction. The insights into the formation mechanism of ammonia-stabilized mixed-cation borohydride and the role played by NH3 group are very useful as a guideline for the design and synthesis of novel B-N-based materials with high hydrogen content.

The consequences of such shifts in vegetative habitat for fauna are poorly understood. Given differences in morphology and life history characteristics of rooted macrophytes and filamentous macroalgae, we hypothesized that these habitat types were not functionally redundant for small-bodied fishes and macroinvertebrates. We examined this hypothesis in spring-fed Florida rivers characterized by decreases in native rooted macrophytes and concomitant increases in filamentous macroalgae. Although faunal densities were generally greater in filamentous macroalgae than in rooted macrophytes, differences in the community assemblage structure suggest that the two types of vegetative habitat do not function interchangeably. Accordingly, continued replacement of rooted macrophytes with filamentous macroalgae is expected to affect the small fish and macroinvertebrate community, as well as higher trophic levels that depend on it.

Therefore, a series of sky maps of Thomson-scattered white light by interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) on 1 August 2010 are simulated using the Hakamada-Akasofu-Fry (HAF) three-dimensional solar-wind model. A comparison between the simulated images and observations of STEREO-A and -B clarifies the structure and evolution of ICMEs (including shocks) in the observed images. The results demonstrate that the simulated images from the HAF model are very useful in the interpretation of the observed images when the ICMEs overlap within the fields of view of the instruments onboard STEREO-A and -B.

Recently, a 1-D transport model incorporating larval behavior predicted that opposing forces of river discharge and tidal amplitude in the Pee Dee River/Winyah Bay system of South Carolina, USA, could limit dispersal within a single estuary for downstream transport as well as become a dispersal barrier to recruitment of late stage larvae to the freshwater adult habitats of Uca minax (LeConte 1855). We sequenced 394-bp of the mitochondrial cytochrome apoenzyme b for 226 adult U. minax, from four locales along a 49-km stretch of the Pee Dee River/Winyah Bay estuary, above and below the boundary of salt intrusion. Results of an analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) and an exact test of population differentiation showed a small, but statistically significant (alpha=0.05) population subdivision among adults of the 4 subpopulations, as well as all subpopulations being significantly differentiated (alpha=0.05). This pattern fitted with model predictions, which implies that larval transport within the tidally influenced river system is limited.

This article examines the more recent entry of seafood into these consumer social movements. Although a concern with the family farm-as well as tendency to equate national security with food security-has long connected terrestrial food production with other cultural concerns, fisheries have tended to be regarded more as natural resources. Considering seafood as part of the "food system" would enhance the management of fisheries, while the long engagement in fisheries with co- and adaptive management and the politics of knowledge would enrich the debate in the agri-foods literature. The article also offers suggestions on how fisheries management could better govern for sustainable food systems, and provides further ideas about food, sustainability and governance.

TI Incorporating ecosystem services into the implementation of existing US natural resource management regulations: Operationalizing carbon sequestration and storage SO MARINE POLICY LA English DT Article DE Ecosystem services; Clean Water Act (CWA); Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA); Natural Resources Damage Assessment (NRDA); Coastal blue carbon AB Many agencies and organizations, including in the United States federal government, are expressing interest in the measurement and valuation of ecosystem services. Despite this interest, specific guidance on whether and how to incorporate ecosystem services into federal activities remains scarce. This analysis examines three regulations that are important parts of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's mission to protect coastal and marine habitats: the Clean Water Act, the Coastal Zone Management Act, and the Natural Resources Damage Assessment process that is part of the Oil Pollution Act. Case studies of each reveal that it is possible to incorporate the carbon sequestered and stored in coastal habitats, or "carbon services," into existing processes consultative, regulatory, and mitigative that are employed to implement these regulations. Specific examples illustrate how carbon services could be incorporated into the implementation of each federal regulation. The study concludes that incorporating carbon services into the implementation of existing environmental regulations could provide increased protection or restoration of coastal habitats. Increased conservation outcomes could result from changing the way the federal government implements national policy and/or by stimulating increased investment in coastal habitat conservation through private carbon markets. These outcomes would result in a "win-win" for both climate regulation and habitat conservation and would preserve not only the carbon services, but also the many ecosystem services these habitats provide.

Analyses of the science needed to manage human uses of ecosystem services have concentrated on terrestrial ecosystems. Our focus is on the provision of multidisciplinary data needed to inform adaptive, ecosystem-based approaches (EBAs) for maintaining coastal ecosystem services based on comparative ecosystem analyses. Key indicators of pressures on coastal ecosystems, ecosystem states and the impacts of changes in states on services are identified for monitoring and analysis at a global coastal network of sentinel sites nested in the ocean-climate observing system. Biodiversity is targeted as the "master" indicator because of its importance to a broad spectrum of services. Ultimately, successful implementation of EBAs will depend on establishing integrated, holistic approaches to ocean governance that oversee the development of integrated, operational ocean observing systems based on the data and information requirements specified by a broad spectrum of stakeholders for sustainable development. Sustained engagement of such a spectrum of stakeholders on a global scale is not feasible. The global coastal network will need to be customized locally and regionally based on priorities established by stakeholders in their respective regions. The E.U. Marine Strategy Framework Directive and the U.S. Recommendations of the Interagency Ocean Policy Task Force are important examples of emerging regional scale approaches. The effectiveness of these policies will depend on the co-evolution of ocean policy and the observing system under the auspices of integrated ocean governance. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

This research demonstrates how simple indices can be constructed and utilized to track the economic well-being of vessels operating in the Northeast (USA) Multispecies (Groundfish) Fishery. The indices, which use both public and private data, can separately track trends in inputs, outputs, and prices. For the Northeast Multispecies Fishery, the indices reveal that the economic wellbeing of the groundfish fleet has improved under catch share management through gains in productivity.

Typical regression techniques are not capable of handling multiple outputs while Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) tends to ignore the stochastic nature of production. Applied economists have devoted considerable time to this problem and have developed several methods of dealing with the issue of multiple output technologies in commercial fisheries. Our paper contributes to this literature by providing another method for estimating production functions of vessels operating in multi-species fisheries. We utilize a two-stage model with data from the West Coast Limited Entry Groundfish Trawl Fishery - using DEA to aggregate output in the first stage. This aggregate index is then used as the dependent variable in a regression framework, allowing for the estimation of the return to different inputs in fisheries production. This provides information that may be particularly important for fisheries managers. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

In this framework, the bootstrap variability was empirically studied without a normality assumption, exhaustively in five scenarios involving both high- and low-accuracy matching algorithms. With a tolerance 0.02 of the coefficient of variation, it was found that 2000 bootstrap replications were appropriate for ROC analysis on large datasets in order to reduce the bootstrap variance and ensure the accuracy of the computation.

TI Indirect Effects of Impoundment on Migrating Fish: Temperature Gradients in Fish Ladders Slow Dam Passage by Adult Chinook Salmon and Steelhead SO PLOS ONE LA English DT Article ID DISSOLVED-GAS SUPERSATURATION; TROUT ONCORHYNCHUS-MYKISS; COLUMBIA RIVER; SOCKEYE-SALMON; BEHAVIORAL THERMOREGULATION; SNAKE RIVER; BRITISH-COLUMBIA; PACIFIC-NORTHWEST; WATER TEMPERATURE; MORTALITY AB Thermal layering in reservoirs upstream from hydroelectric dams can create temperature gradients in fishways used by upstream migrating adults. In the Snake River, Washington, federally-protected adult salmonids (Oncorhynchus spp.) often encounter relatively cool water in dam tailraces and lower ladder sections and warmer water in the upstream portions of ladders. Using radiotelemetry, we examined relationships between fish passage behavior and the temperature difference between the top and bottom of ladders (Delta T) at four dams over four years. Some spring Chinook salmon (O. tshawytscha) experienced Delta T >= 0.5 degrees C. Many summer and fall Chinook salmon and summer steelhead (O. mykiss) experienced Delta T >= 1.0 degrees C, and some individuals encountered Delta T > 4.0 degrees C. As Delta T increased, migrants were consistently more likely to move down fish ladders and exit into dam tailraces, resulting in upstream passage delays that ranged from hours to days. Fish body temperatures equilibrated to ladder temperatures and often exceeded 20 degrees C, indicating potential negative physiological and fitness effects. Collectively, the results suggest that gradients in fishway water temperatures present a migration obstacle to many anadromous migrants. Unfavorable temperature gradients may be common at reservoir-fed fish passage facilities, especially those with seasonal thermal layering or stratification. Understanding and managing thermal heterogeneity at such sites may be important for ensuring efficient upstream passage and minimizing stress for migratory, temperature-sensitive species.

TI Spatial Match-Mismatch between Juvenile Fish and Prey Provides a Mechanism for Recruitment Variability across Contrasting Climate Conditions in the Eastern Bering Sea SO PLOS ONE LA English DT Article ID POLLOCK THERAGRA-CHALCOGRAMMA; OSCILLATING CONTROL HYPOTHESIS; AGE-0 WALLEYE POLLOCK; COD GADUS-MORHUA; BIOENERGETICS MODEL; MALLOTUS-VILLOSUS; HABITAT SELECTION; BODY-SIZE; LARVAL; ECOSYSTEM AB Understanding mechanisms behind variability in early life survival of marine fishes through modeling efforts can improve predictive capabilities for recruitment success under changing climate conditions. Walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) support the largest single-species commercial fishery in the United States and represent an ecologically important component of the Bering Sea ecosystem. Variability in walleye pollock growth and survival is structured in part by climate-driven bottom-up control of zooplankton composition. We used two modeling approaches, informed by observations, to understand the roles of prey quality, prey composition, and water temperature on juvenile walleye pollock growth: (1) a bioenergetics model that included local predator and prey energy densities, and (2) an individual-based model that included a mechanistic feeding component dependent on larval development and behavior, local prey densities and size, and physical oceanographic conditions. Prey composition in late-summer shifted from predominantly smaller copepod species in the warmer 2005 season to larger species in the cooler 2010 season, reflecting differences in zooplankton composition between years. In 2010, the main prey of juvenile walleye pollock were more abundant, had greater biomass, and higher mean energy density, resulting in better growth conditions. Moreover, spatial patterns in prey composition and water temperature lead to areas of enhanced growth, or growth 'hot spots', for juvenile walleye pollock and survival may be enhanced when fish overlap with these areas. This study provides evidence that a spatial mismatch between juvenile walleye pollock and growth 'hot spots' in 2005 contributed to poor recruitment while a higher degree of overlap in 2010 resulted in improved recruitment. Our results indicate that climate-driven changes in prey quality and composition can impact growth of juvenile walleye pollock, potentially severely affecting recruitment variability.

Crucial to the application of nanomotors in biosensing and biomedical applications is the ability to remotely control and steer them toward targets of interest, such as specific cells and tissues. We demonstrate in vitro magnetic steering of acoustically powered nanorod motors in a biologically compatible environment. Steering was accomplished by incorporating (40 +/- 5) nm thick nickel stripes into the electrochemically grown nanowires. An external magnetic field of 40-45 mT was used to the motors, which were acoustically propelled along their long axes. In the absence of a magnetic field, (300 +/- 30) nm diameter, (4.3 +/- 0.2) pm long nanowires with (40 +/- 5) nm thick magnetic stripes exhibit the same self-acoustophoretic behavior, including pattern formation into concentric nanowire circles, aligned spinning chains, and autonomous axial motion, as their non-magnetic counterparts. In a magnetic field, these wires and their paths are oriented as evidenced by their relatively linear trajectories. Coordinated motion of multiple motors and targeting of individual motors toward HeLa cells with micrometer-level precision was demonstrated.

From 2001-2007, L. tenuis spawned on beaches in San Francisco Bay (SFB, 37 degrees 45'N, 122 degrees 15'W) at multiple locations, but disappeared after 2008. In 2005, L. tenuis started spawning for the first time on a beach in Tomales Bay (TB, 38 degrees 14'N, 122 degrees 58'W), 64 km north of SFB, but this population disappeared after 2009. Adult size, clutch volumes, and egg diameters of L. tenuis in SFB were consistently smaller than L. tenuis from southern California, though the population was not genetically distinct. Population size structure suggests few L. tenuis survived more than one year in these northern bays, rather than the two or three years expected in the typical southern California habitat. Climate change models predict conditions supporting poleward expansion of ranges of marine organisms, but colonization of northern habitats by this beach spawning species resulted in significant phenotypic changes including smaller size, shorter life span, and reduced reproductive output. The multiple environmental challenges and rapid extirpation of two disjunct colonization events indicate this species will require repeated events for habitat expansion to succeed.

Mitch, Michael Macchiarini, Francesca Stojadinovic, Strahinja Stone, Helen TI The Importance of Dosimetry Standardization in Radiobiology SO JOURNAL OF RESEARCH OF THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF STANDARDS AND TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article DE dosimetry; dosimetry protocols; dosimetry standards; radiobiology; radiobiology protocols; radiobiology standards ID RADIOTHERAPY; PROTOCOL; PHOTON; ENERGY AB Radiation dose is central to much of radiobiological research. Precision and accuracy of dose measurements and reporting of the measurement details should be sufficient to allow the work to be interpreted and repeated and to allow valid comparisons to be made, both in the same laboratory and by other laboratories. Despite this, a careful reading of published manuscripts suggests that measurement and reporting of radiation dosimetry and setup for radiobiology research is frequently inadequate, thus undermining the reliability and reproducibility of the findings. To address these problems and propose a course of action, the National Cancer Institute (NCI), the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) brought together representatives of the radiobiology and radiation physics communities in a workshop in September, 2011. The workshop participants arrived at a number of specific recommendations as enumerated in this paper and they expressed the desirability of creating dosimetry standard operating procedures (SOPs) for cell culture and for small and large animal experiments. It was also felt that these SOPs would be most useful if they are made widely available through mechanism(s) such as the web, where they can provide guidance to both radiobiologists and radiation physicists, be cited in publications, and be updated as the field and needs evolve. Other broad areas covered were the need for continuing education through tutorials at national conferences, and for journals to establish standards for reporting dosimetry. This workshop did not address issues of dosimetry for studies involving radiation focused at the sub-cellular level, internally-administered radionuclides, biodosimetry based on biological markers of radiation exposure, or dose reconstruction for epidemiological studies.

TI Molecular Typing of Environmental and Clinical Strains of Vibrio vulnificus Isolated in the Northeastern USA SO PLOS ONE LA English DT Article ID ESCHERICHIA-COLI; MARINE PATHOGEN; SEQUENCE DATA; SIALIC-ACID; PCR ASSAY; IDENTIFICATION; POLYMORPHISM; EVOLUTION; VIRULENCE; SEAWATER AB Vibrio vulnificus is a ubiquitous marine bacterium that is responsible for infections and some seafood-related illnesses and deaths in the United States, mainly in individuals with compromised health status in the Gulf of Mexico region. Most phylogenetic studies focus on V. vulnificus strains isolated in the southern United States, but almost no genetic data are available on northeastern bacterial isolates of clinical or environmental origin. Our goal in this study was to examine the genetic diversity of environmental strains isolated from commercially-produced oysters and in clinical strains of known pathogenicity in northeastern United States. We conducted analyses of a total of eighty-three strains of V. vulnificus, including 18 clinical strains known to be pathogenic. A polyphasic, molecular-typing approach was carried out, based upon established biotypes, vcg, CPS, 16S rRNA types and three other genes possibly associated with virulence (arylsulfatase A, mtlABC, and nanA). An established Multi Locus Sequence Typing (MLST) method was also performed. Phylogenetic analyses of these markers and MLST results produced similar patterns of clustering of strains into two main lineages (we categorized as 'LI' and 'LII'), with clinical and environmental strains clustering together in both lineages. Lineage LII was comprised primarily but not entirely of clinical bacterial isolates. Putative virulence markers were present in both clinical and environmental strains. These results suggest that some northeastern environmental strains of V. vulnificus are phylogenetically close to clinical strains and probably are capable of virulence. Further studies are necessary to assess the risk of human illness from consuming raw oysters harvested in the northeastern US.

TI Precise determination of the spectroscopic g-factor by use of broadband ferromagnetic resonance spectroscopy SO JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID MAGNETIC CIRCULAR-DICHROISM; BRILLOUIN LIGHT-SCATTERING; PERMALLOY-FILMS; MICROSCOPIC ORIGIN; THIN-FILMS; ANISOTROPY; NI; ALLOYS; RIPPLE; MICROSTRUCTURE AB We demonstrate that the spectroscopic g-factor can be determined with high precision and accuracy by broadband ferromagnetic resonance measurements and by applying an asymptotic analysis to the data. Spectroscopic data used to determine the g-factor are always obtained over a finite range of frequencies, which can result in significant errors in the fitted values. We show that by applying an asymptotic analysis to broadband datasets, precise values of the intrinsic g-factor can be determined with errors well below 1%, even when the exact form of the Kittel equation (which describes the relationship between the frequency and resonance field) is unknown. We demonstrate this methodology with measured data obtained for sputtered Ni80Fe20 (Permalloy) thin films of varied thicknesses, where we determine the bulk g-factor value to be 2.109 +/- 0.003. Such an approach is further validated by application to simulated data that include both noise and an anisotropy that is not included in the Kittel equation that was used in the analysis. Finally, we show a correlation of thickness and interface structure to the magnitude of the asymptotic behavior, which provide insight into additional mechanisms that may lead to deviations from the Kittel equation.

We report a method for determining the accuracy of theoretical hyperfine constants B/Q and demonstrate that it can be used to extract the electric quadrupole moment Q with a 1%-2% uncertainty for a large number of nuclei.

We examine organic aerosol formed from the 1-iodooctane photolysis at this wavelength using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with derivatization to selectively probe carbonyl- and hydroxyl-containing molecules. Tandem mass spectrometry reveals that the product distributions are much more complex than a traditional low-NOx peroxy-peroxy oxidation mechanism from a single parent isomer would justify. We propose that this difference is due to peroxy radical photochemistry, leading to two major channels: direct peroxy radical isomerization via internal H-abstraction and reverse dissociation to form alkyl radical and O-2. The complexity of the product spectrum is derived from both scrambling of the radical site in the alkyl radical and the additional oxidation of otherwise stable peroxy radicals as a result of the isomerization. A branching ratio for these channels is estimated using a canonical representation of the internal energy distribution. Lifetime estimates using extrapolated ethyl peroxy absorption cross sections and the actinic flux near 310 nm show that peroxy radical photochemistry may play a role in defining the composition of atmospheric secondary organic aerosol formed in pristine (low-NOx) environments.

TI Swelling of Polymer Dielectric Thin Films for Organic-Transistor-Based Aqueous Sensing Applications SO CHEMISTRY OF MATERIALS LA English DT Article DE organic-field-effect transistors; dielectrics; polymeric materials; thin films ID FIELD-EFFECT TRANSISTORS; BIOLOGICAL SENSORS; SENSITIVITY; SEMICONDUCTORS; PERFORMANCE; STABILITY; PRESSURE; SKIN AB Sensors based on organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) are of considerable interest for chemical and biological detection applications, and the development of highly sensitive, chemically specific, low-cost sensors operating in aqueous environments will have a profound impact. However, the behavior of the dielectric and semiconducting thin films in OFTF-based sensors during underwater operation is not well understood. Here we investigate OTFT-based sensor materials, specifically a polymer dielectric film of cross-linked poly(4-vinylphenol) (x-PVP), used in OTFTs operating in aqueous environments. We show that immersing x-PVP thin films in a 90:10 water methanol (model analyte) solution causes swelling of nearly 30% and a corresponding 300% increase in the film dielectric constant. Hence, to quantify the charge-transport behavior of organic molecules within aqueous environments, this drastic change in the capacitance must be accounted for in sensor material design.

TI Fibrillar Structure in Aqueous Methylcellulose Solutions and Gels SO MACROMOLECULES LA English DT Article ID METHYL CELLULOSE SOLUTIONS; ANGLE NEUTRON-SCATTERING; PHASE-SEPARATION; THERMOREVERSIBLE GELATION; THERMAL GELATION; BIOPOLYMER NETWORKS; O-METHYLCELLULOSES; WATER; SPECTROSCOPY; ETHERS AB The fibrillar structure of aqueous methylcellulose (MC) gels was probed using a combination of small-angle neutron scattering (SANS), ultra-small-angle neutron scattering (USANS), and cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM). The effect of molecular weight (M-w) and concentration on the gel structure was explored. The fibrillar morphology was consistently observed at elevated temperatures (>= 70 degrees C), independent of concentration and M-w Moreover, the fibril dimensions extracted from SANS by fitting to a scattering function for semiflexible cylinders with disperse radii revealed that the fibril diameter of ca. 14 +/- 1 nm is constant for a mass fraction range of 0.01%-3.79% and for all M-w investigated (49-530 kg/mol). Comparison of the measured SANS curves with predicted scattering traces revealed that at 70 degrees C the fibrils contain an average volume fraction of 40% polymer. Taking linear combinations of low temperature (solution state) and high temperature (gel state) SANS traces, the progression of fibril growth with temperature for aqueous MC materials was determined. At low temperatures (<= 30 degrees C) no fibrils are present, whereas in the vicinity of 40-50 degrees C a small fraction begins to form. For temperatures >= 70 degrees C, virtually all of the chains are incorporated into the fibrillar structure. The persistence of the fibril structure during cooling was probed by SANS and cryo-TEM. The well-established rheological hysteresis upon cooling is directly correlated to the persistence of the fibril structures. Furthermore, cryo-TEM images taken upon heating to 50 degrees C showed no fibrils, whereas images for samples that were first heated to 70 degrees C and then cooled to 50 degrees C clearly display the fibrillar structure. USANS measurements revealed that heterogeneities in the gels persist beyond the largest length scale accessed in scattering experiments (similar to 20 mu m), consistent with the observed optical turbidity.

Effects of adding nanofillers of different sizes were addressed. Despite observed morphological variations and inhomogeneous carbon nanotube distribution, spun mats appeared homogeneous under NEXAFS analysis. Spectra revealed differences in emissions from glancing and normal spectra, which may evidence phase separation within the bulk of the micrometer-size fibers. Further, dichroic ratios show polymer chains did not align, even in the presence of nanofillers. Addition of nanofillers affected emissions in the C-H, C=O, and C-C regimes, suggesting their involvement in interfacial matrix-carbon nanotube bonding. Spectral differences at glancing angles between pristine and composite mats suggest that geometric conformational configurations are taking place between polymeric chains and carbon nanotubes. These differences appear to be carbon nanotube-dimension dependent and are promoted upon room temperature mixing and shear flow during electrospinning. CH-pi bonding between polymer chains and graphitic walls, as well as H-bonds between impurities in the as-grown MWCNTs and polymer pendant groups are proposed bonding mechanisms promoting matrix conformation.

TI Landau damping in a collisionless dipolar Bose gas SO PHYSICAL REVIEW A LA English DT Article ID EINSTEIN CONDENSATE; COLLECTIVE EXCITATIONS; SPECTRUM; HELIUM; MODES; TRAP AB We present a theory for the Landau damping of low-energy quasiparticles in a collisionless, quasi-two-dimensional dipolar Bose gas and produce expressions for the damping rate in uniform and nonuniform systems. Using simple energy-momentum conservation arguments, we show that in the homogeneous system, the nature of the low-energy dispersion in a dipolar Bose gas severely inhibits Landau damping of long wavelength excitations. For a gas with contact and dipolar interactions, the damping rate for phonons tends to decrease with increasing dipolar interactions; for strong dipole-dipole interactions, phonons are virtually undamped over a broad range of temperature. The damping rate for maxon-roton excitations is found to be significantly larger than the damping rate for phonons.

TI From principles to practice: a spatial approach to systematic conservation planning in the deep sea SO PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY B-BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES LA English DT Article DE systematic conservation planning; marine protected area network; deep sea; abyssal plains; geographic information system ID MARINE PROTECTED AREAS; OCEAN FLOOR; MANAGEMENT; PACIFIC; RESERVES; IMPACT; CHALLENGES; DISPERSAL; DIVERSITY; FISHERIES AB Increases in the demand and price for industrial metals, combined with advances in technological capabilities have now made deep-sea mining more feasible and economically viable. In order to balance economic interests with the conservation of abyssal plain ecosystems, it is becoming increasingly important to develop a systematic approach to spatial management and zoning of the deep sea. Here, we describe an expert-driven systematic conservation planning process applied to inform science-based recommendations to the International Seabed Authority for a system of deep-sea marine protected areas (MPAs) to safeguard biodiversity and ecosystem function in an abyssal Pacific region targeted for nodule mining (e. g. the Clarion-Clipperton fracture zone, CCZ). Our use of geospatial analysis and expert opinion in forming the recommendations allowed us to stratify the proposed network by biophysical gradients, maximize the number of biologically unique seamounts within each subregion, and minimize socioeconomic impacts. The resulting proposal for an MPA network (nine replicate 400 x 400 km MPAs) covers 24% (1 440 000 km(2)) of the total CCZ planning region and serves as example of swift and pre-emptive conservation planning across an unprecedented area in the deep sea. As pressure from resource extraction increases in the future, the scientific guiding principles outlined in this research can serve as a basis for collaborative international approaches to ocean management.

In the SANS experiments, a structural phase transition is confirmed between a disordered-phase and an ordered-lamellar-phase upon variation of the composition and/or temperature of the mixture. The characteristic lengths of the structures is on the sub-micrometer scale. A dispersion relation of the structure is measured through NSE experiments, which shows that the relaxation rate follows a cubic relation with momentum transfer. This implies that the dynamics of the system are determined predominantly by membrane fluctuations. The present results indicate that 3MP-rich domains are microscopically separated from bulk water in the presence of NaBPh4, and that the layers behave as membranes. These results are interpreted that preferential solvation of salt in each solvent induces a microphase separation between the solvents, and the periodic structure of 3MP-rich domains is stabilized by the long-range electrostatic interaction arising from Na+ ions in D2O-rich domains.

Much of this removes earlier assumptions of symmetry and regularity, such as aligned and prograde disc rotation. This allows a much richer variety of effects, often because cancellation of angular momentum allows rapid infall. Potential applications include lower SMBH spins allowing faster mass growth and suppressing gravitational-wave reaction recoil in mergers, gas-assisted SMBH mergers, and near-dynamical accretion in galaxy centres.

During 2004-2006, 24-hour integrated aerosol samples were collected on two Climate Variability and Predictability (CLIVAR)-CO2 Repeat Hydrography cruises in the Pacific Ocean. The cruise sections traversed the North Pacific Ocean along 30 degrees N (Section P02) and the eastern Pacific along 150 degrees W (Section P16). This dataset includes analyses of aerosol particle chemistry as well as iron, aluminum, and manganese solubility in ultrapure deionized water and iron solubility in filtered surface seawater, measured using a rapid, flow-through extraction technique. The atmospheric concentrations of soluble aerosol iron were not significantly different using these extraction solutions (Wilcoxon signed rank, p = 0.076). However, aerosol iron fractional solubility was higher in ultrapure deionized water than in filtered surface seawater (Wilcoxon signed rank, p = 0.009). The median fractional solubility of aerosol iron in ultrapure water was 9.2% (3.2-29.1%) and 6.4% (0.5-81.1%) in seawater. Soluble aerosol Fe(II) accounted for 1.7% of the total aerosol Fe and 26.2% of the seawater soluble aerosol iron.

TI Large-aperture wide-bandwidth antireflection-coated silicon lenses for millimeter wavelengths SO APPLIED OPTICS LA English DT Article ID SURFACE-RELIEF GRATINGS; EYE PRINCIPLE; LOSS TANGENT; PERMITTIVITY; FREQUENCIES; TELESCOPE; DESIGN; OPTICS; WINDOW; ARRAY AB The increasing scale of cryogenic detector arrays for submillimeter and millimeter wavelength astrophysics has led to the need for large aperture, high index of refraction, low loss, cryogenic refracting optics. Silicon with n = 3.4, low loss, and high thermal conductivity is a nearly optimal material for these purposes but requires an antireflection (AR) coating with broad bandwidth, low loss, low reflectance, and a matched coefficient of thermal expansion. We present an AR coating for curved silicon optics comprised of subwavelength features cut into the lens surface with a custom three-axis silicon dicing saw. These features constitute a metamaterial that behaves as a simple dielectric coating. We have fabricated silicon lenses as large as 33.4 cm in diameter with micromachined layers optimized for use between 125 and 165 GHz. Our design reduces average reflections to a few tenths of a percent for angles of incidence up to 30 degrees with low cross polarization. We describe the design, tolerance, manufacture, and measurements of these coatings and present measurements of the optical properties of silicon at millimeter wavelengths at cryogenic and room temperatures. This coating and lens fabrication approach is applicable from centimeter to submillimeter wavelengths and can be used to fabricate coatings with greater than octave bandwidth.

TI Threshold for creating excitations in a stirred superfluid ring SO PHYSICAL REVIEW A LA English DT Article ID BOSE-EINSTEIN CONDENSATE; CRITICAL VELOCITIES; LIQUID-HELIUM; SOUND-PROPAGATION; ROTATING ANNULUS; FLOW; GAS; TRANSITION; GYROSCOPE; HE-4 AB We have measured the threshold for creating long-lived excitations when a toroidal Bose-Einstein condensate is stirred by a rotating (optical) barrier of variable height. When the barrier height is on the order of or greater than half of the chemical potential, the critical barrier velocity at which we observe a change in the circulation state is much less than the speed for sound to propagate around the ring. In this regime we primarily observe discrete jumps (phase slips) from the noncirculating initial state to a simple, well-defined, persistent current state. For lower barrier heights, the critical barrier velocity at which we observe a change in the circulation state is higher, and approaches the effective sound speed for vanishing barrier height. The response of the condensate in this small-barrier regime is more complex, with vortex cores appearing in the bulk of the condensate. We find that the variation of the excitation threshold with barrier height is in qualitative agreement with the predictions of an effective one-dimensional hydrodynamic model.

TI Sub-Doppler Spectroscopy of the trans-HOCO Radical in the OH Stretching Mode SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY A LA English DT Article ID LASER-ABSORPTION-SPECTROSCOPY; DISSOCIATIVE PHOTODETACHMENT; MAGNETIC-RESONANCE; PLUS CO; DYNAMICS; SPECTRUM; DOCO; COMPLEXES; SURFACE; BEND AB Rovibrational spectroscopy of the fundamental OH stretching mode of the trans-HOCO radical has been studied via sub-Doppler high-resolution infrared laser absorption in a discharge slit-jet expansion. The trans-HOCO radical is formed by discharge dissociation of H2O to form OH, which then combines with CO and cools in the Ne expansion to a rotational temperature of 13.0(6) K. Rigorous assignment of both a-type and b-type spectral transitions is made possible by two-line combination differences from microwave studies, with full rovibrational analysis of the spectrum based on a Watson asymmetric top Hamiltonian. Additionally, fine structure splittings of each line due to electron spin are completely resolved, thus permitting all three e, Sbb, Ea spin rotation constants to be experimentally determined in the vibrationally excited state. Furthermore, as both a- and b-type transitions for trans-HOCO are observed for the first time, the ratio of transition dipole moment projections along the a and b principal axes is determined to be mu(a)/mu(b) = 1.78(5), which is in close agreement with density functional quantum theoretical predictions (B3LYP/6-311+ +g(3df,3pd), mu(a)/mu(b) = 1.85). Finally, we note the energetic possibility in the excited OH stretch state for predissociation dynamics (i.e., trans-HOCO -> H + CO2), with the present sub-Doppler line widths providing a rigorous upper limit of >2.7 ns for the predissociation lifetime.

Other gas-phase experiments identified an electronic transition of cyc-O-4(-) complexed with an argon atom between 4000 and 5300 cm(-1). Absorptions that correspond closely to these two groups of bands have been observed in neon-matrix experiments in which both cyc-O-4(+) and cyc-O-4(-) are trapped at 4.3 K in solid neon. The results are compared with the gas-phase data, and the proposed assignments are considered by taking into account the results of isotopic substitution.

TI Xenon and Other Volatile Anesthetics Change Domain Structure in Model Lipid Raft Membranes SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY B LA English DT Article ID X-RAY; GENERAL-ANESTHESIA; PHASE-DIAGRAM; BILAYERS; ISOFLURANE; CHOLESTEROL; DIFFRACTION; HALOTHANE; MECHANISM; PRESSURE AB Inhalation anesthetics have been in clinical use for over 160 years, but the molecular mechanisms of action continue to be investigated. Direct interactions with ion channels received much attention after it was found that anesthetics do not change the structure of homogeneous model membranes. However, it was recently found that halothane, a prototypical anesthetic, changes domain structure of a binary lipid membrane. The noble gas xenon is an excellent anesthetic and provides a pivotal test of the generality of this finding, extended to ternary lipid raft mixtures. We report that xenon and conventional anesthetics change the domain equilibrium in two canonical ternary lipid raft mixtures. These findings demonstrate a membrane-mediated mechanism whereby inhalation anesthetics can affect the lipid environment of transmembrane proteins.

TI Current-induced torques and interfacial spin-orbit coupling SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID DOMAIN-WALLS; EFFECTIVE-FIELD; FILMS; LAYER; CO/PT(111); DYNAMICS; VECTOR AB In bilayer systems consisting of an ultrathin ferromagnetic layer adjacent to a metal with strong spin-orbit coupling, an applied in-plane current induces torques on the magnetization. The torques that arise from spin-orbit coupling are of particular interest. Here we use first-principles methods to calculate the current-induced torque in a Pt-Co bilayer to help determine the underlying mechanism. We focus exclusively on the analog to the Rashba torque, and do not consider the spin Hall effect. The details of the torque depend strongly on the layer thicknesses and the interface structure, providing an explanation for the wide variation in results found by different groups. The torque depends on the magnetization direction in a way similar to that found for a simple Rashba model. Artificially turning off the exchange spin splitting and separately the spin-orbit coupling potential in the Pt shows that the primary source of the "fieldlike" torque is a proximate spin-orbit effect on the Co layer induced by the strong spin-orbit coupling in the Pt.

TI Dissipative production of a maximally entangled steady state of two quantum bits SO NATURE LA English DT Article ID TRAPPED IONS; FEEDBACK; SIMULATION; DRIVEN; ATOMS AB Entangled states are a key resource in fundamental quantum physics, quantum cryptography and quantum computation(1). Introduction of controlled unitary processes-quantum gates-to a quantum system has so far been the most widely used method to create entanglement deterministically(2). These processes require high-fidelity state preparation and minimization of the decoherence that inevitably arises from coupling between the system and the environment, and imperfect control of the system parameters. Here we combine unitary processes with engineered dissipation to deterministically produce and stabilize an approximate Bell state of two trapped-ion quantum bits (qubits), independent of their initial states. Compared with previous studies that involved dissipative entanglement of atomic ensembles(3) or the application of sequences of multiple time-dependent gates to trapped ions(4), we implement our combined process using trapped-ion qubits in a continuous time-independent fashion (analogous to optical pumping of atomic states). By continuously driving the system towards the steady state, entanglement is stabilized even in the presence of experimental noise and decoherence. Our demonstration of an entangled steady state of two qubits represents a step towards dissipative state engineering, dissipative quantum computation and dissipative phase transitions(5-7). Following this approach, engineered coupling to the environment may be applied to a broad range of experimental systems to achieve desired quantum dynamics or steady states. Indeed, concurrently with this work, an entangled steady state of two superconducting qubits was demonstrated using dissipation(8). C1 [Lin, Y.; Gaebler, J. P.; Tan, T.

TI Magnitude, Decadal Changes, and Impact of Regional Background Ozone Transported into the Greater Houston, Texas, Area SO ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article ID NORTH-AMERICA; INCREASING OZONE; UNITED-STATES; INFLOW AB Two independent analyses of the daily maximum 8 h average ozone concentrations measured during the high ozone season (May through October) at Continuous Ambient Monitoring Stations are used to quantify the regional background ozone transported into the Houston-Galveston-Brazoria (HGB) area. The dependence on wind direction is examined, and long-term trends are determined using measurements made between 1998 and 2012. Both analyses show that the regional background ozone has declined during periods of continental outflow: i.e., the conditions associated with most high ozone episodes in HGB. The changes in regional background ozone found for northeasterly and southeasterly flow are -0.50 +/- 0.54 and -0.79 +/- 0.65 (95% confidence limit) ppbv yr(-1), respectively, which correspond to decreases of similar to 7-11 ppbv between 1998 and 2012. This finding is consistent with the summertime downward trend of -0.45 ppbv yr(-1) (range of sites: -0.87 to +0.07 ppbv yr(-1)) for ozone in the eastern U.S. between 1990 and 2010 reported by Cooper et al. and shows that changing background concentrations are at least partially responsible for the decreased surface ozone in the HGB area over the past decade. Baseline ozone concentrations in air flowing into Texas from the Gulf of Mexico have not changed significantly over this period.

TI Metabolite Profiling of a NIST Standard Reference Material for Human Plasma (SRM 1950): GC-MS, LC-MS, NMR, and Clinical Laboratory Analyses, Libraries, and Web-Based Resources SO ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY LA English DT Article ID HUMAN BLOOD-PLASMA; MASS-SPECTROMETRY; ELECTROSPRAY-IONIZATION; CHROMATOGRAPHY/MASS SPECTROMETRY; COMPOUND IDENTIFICATION; SAMPLE PREPARATION; SERUM; SPECTROSCOPY; METABOLOMICS; SUPPRESSION AB Recent progress in metabolomics and the development of increasingly sensitive analytical techniques have renewed interest in global profiling, i.e., semiquantitative monitoring of all chemical constituents of biological fluids. In this work, we have performed global profiling of NIST SRM 1950, "Metabolites in Human Plasma", using GC-MS, LC-MS, and NMR Metabolome coverage, difficulties, and reproducibility of the experiments on each platform are discussed. A total of 353 metabolites have been identified in this material. GC-MS provides 65 unique identifications, and most of the identifications from NMR overlap with the LC-MS identifications, except for some small sugars that are not directly found by LC-MS. Also, repeatability and intermediate precision analyses show that the SRM 1950 profiling is reproducible enough to consider this material as a good choice to distinguish between analytical and biological variability. Clinical laboratory data shows that most results are within the reference ranges for each assay.

SRM 1950 Metabolites in Human Plasma is intended to have metabolite concentrations that are representative of those found in adult human plasma. The plasma used in the preparation of SRM 1950 was collected from both male and female donors, and donor ethnicity targets were selected based upon the ethnic makeup of the U.S. population. Metabolomics research is diverse in terms of both instrumentation and scientific goals. This SRM was designed to apply broadly to the field, not toward specific applications. Therefore, concentrations of approximately 100 analytes, including amino acids, fatty acids, trace elements, vitamins, hormones, selenoproteins, clinical markers, and perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), were determined. Value assignment measurements were performed by NIST and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). SRM 1950 is the first reference material developed specifically for metabolomics research. C1 [Phinney, Karen W.; Lowenthal, Mark S.] NIST, Biomol Measurement Div, Gaithersburg, MD 20899 USA.

VIIRS was designed to improve upon the capabilities of the operational Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer and provide observation continuity with NASA's Earth Observing System's Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS). VIIRS snow and ice products include sea ice surface temperature, sea ice concentration, sea ice characterization, a binary snow map, and fractional snow cover. Validation results with these provisional level maturity products show that ice surface temperature has a root-mean-square error of 0.6-1.0 K when compared to aircraft data and a similar MODIS product, the measurement accuracy and precision of ice concentration are approximately 5% and 15% when compared to passive microwave retrievals, and the accuracy of the binary snow cover (snow/no-snow) maps is generally above 90% when compared to station data. The ice surface temperature and snow cover products meet their accuracy requirements with respect to the Joint Polar Satellite System Level 1 Requirements Document. Sea Ice Characterization, which consists of two age categories, has not been observed to meet the 70% accuracy requirements of ice classification. Given their current performance, the ice surface temperature, snow cover, and sea ice concentration products should be useful for both research and operational applications, while improvements to the sea ice characterization product are needed before it can be used for these applications.

TI Subtropical-polar jet interactions in Southern Plains dust storms SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-ATMOSPHERES LA English DT Article DE ageostrophy; jet; adjustment; isallobaric; circulation ID SCALE NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS; ALONG-STREAM CIRCULATIONS; SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK; SQUALL LINE; POTENTIAL VORTICITY; ROCKY-MOUNTAINS; MODEL; ADJUSTMENT; IMPLEMENTATION; PREDICTION AB The origin of two separate Southern High Plains dust storms, which occurred over a 2 day period in February 2007, is traced to an interaction between the subtropical jet (STJ) and the polar jet (PJ). A large-scale thermal wind imbalance resulting from the confluence of these two jets led to a series of mesoscale circulations that ultimately produced the dust storms. Understanding the connectivity between the dust storms with differing geometries is central to the present investigation. The study rests on the interpretation of analyses from upper air and surface observations complemented by imagery from satellites, the 32 km gridded data set from the North American Regional Reanalysis, and a fine-resolution (6 km grid) simulation from the Weather Research and Forecasting model. Principal assertions from the present study are (1) scale interaction is fundamental to the creation of an environment conducive to dust storm development, (2) low to middle tropospheric mass adjustment is the primary response to a large-scale imbalance, (3) the mesoscale mass adjustment is associated with circulations about a highly accelerative jet streak resulting from the merger of the PJ and STJ, (4) the structure of the jet streak resulting from this merger governs the evolution of the geometry of the dust plumes, with plumes that initially had a straight-line orientation developing a semicircular geometry, and (5) it is concluded that improvements in dust storm prediction will depend on an augmentation to the upper air network in concert with a flow-dependent data assimilation strategy.

The TMPA products include V6 and V7 real-time products 3B42RTV6 and 3B42RTV7 and research products 3B42V6 and 3B42V7. Both versions of research products outperform their respective real-time counterparts. 3B42V7 clearly improves upon 3B42V6 over China in terms of daily mean precipitation; the correlation coefficient (CC) increases from 0.89 to 0.93, the relative bias (RB) improves from -4.91% to -0.05%, and the root-mean-square error (RMSE) improves from 0.69mm to 0.54mm. When considering 3 year mean precipitation, 3B42V7 shows similar spatial patterns and statistical performance to 3B42V6. Both 3B42RTV7 and 3B42RTV6 demonstrate similar bias patterns in most regions of China with overestimation by 20% in arid regions (i.e., the north and west of China) and slight underestimation in humid regions (e.g., -5.82% in southern China). However, 3B42RTV7 overestimates precipitation more than 3B42RTV6 in the cold Qinghai-Tibetan plateau, resulting in a much higher RB of 139.95% (128.69%, 136.09%, and 121.11%) in terms of 3 year annual (spring, summer, and autumn) daily mean precipitation and an even worse performance during winter. In this region, 3B42RTV7 shows an overall slightly degraded performance than 3B42RTV6 with CC decreasing from 0.81 to 0.73 and RB (RMSE) increasing from 21.22% (0.95mm) to 35.84% (1.27mm) in terms of daily precipitation.

CrIS is a sophisticated sounding sensor that accurately measures upwelling infrared radiance at high spectral resolution. Data obtained from this sensor are used for atmospheric profiles retrieval and assimilation by numerical weather prediction models. Optimum vertical sounding resolution is achieved with high spectral resolution and multiple spectral channels; however, this can lead to increased noise. The CrIS instrument is designed to overcome this problem. Noise Equivalent Differential Radiance (NEdN) is one of the key parameters of the Sensor Data Record product. The CrIS on-orbit NEdN surpasses mission requirements with margin and has comparable or better performance when compared to heritage hyperspectral sensors currently on orbit. This paper describes CrIS noise performance through the characterization of the sensor's NEdN and compares it to calibration data obtained during ground test. In addition, since FTS sensors can be affected by vibration that leads to spectrally correlated noise on top of the random noise inherent to infrared detectors, this paper also characterizes the CrIS NEdN with respect to the correlated noise contribution to the total NEdN. Lastly, the noise estimated from the imaginary part of the complex FTS spectra is extremely useful to assess and monitor in-flight FTS sensor health. Preliminary results on the imaginary spectra noise analysis are also presented.

We propose to first use the principal component analysis to isolate scan-dependent features such as the cross-track striping from the atmospheric signal and then to use an Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD) to extract the striping noise in ATMS Earth scene brightness temperature observations for both temperature and water vapor sounding channels. It is shown that the Principal Component (PC) coefficient of the first PC mode, which mainly describes a scan-dependent feature of cross-track radiometer measurements, captures the striping noise. The EEMD is then applied to the PC coefficient to extract the first three high-frequency intrinsic mode functions (IMFs), which are denoted as the PC1/IMF3 noise. When the PC1/IMF3 noise is removed from the data, the striping noise is imperceptible in the global distribution of O-B for ATMS temperature sounding channels 1-16. Using the same method, it is demonstrated that the striping noise is also present in ATMS water vapor sounding channels 17-22. The magnitude of the ATMS striping noise is about 0.3K for the temperature sounding channels and 1.0K for the moisture sounding channels. The same technique is also applied to Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-A (AMSU-A), AMSU-B, and Microwave Humidity Sounder (MHS). The striping noise is undetectable for AMSU-A but present in AMSU-B and MHS data. C1 [Qin, Zhengkun] Nanjing Univ Informat Sci & Technol, Nanjing, Jiangsu, Peoples R China.

Miller, Steven TI The expected performance of cloud optical and microphysical properties derived from Suomi NPP VIIRS day/night band lunar reflectance SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-ATMOSPHERES LA English DT Article DE clouds; VIIRS; remote sensing ID SATELLITE; VALIDATION AB The day/night band channel of the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instrument on board Suomi-National Polar Partnership (S-NPP) is a visible/near-infrared sensor (500-900nm band pass) capable of measuring extremely low magnitudes of light, down to the levels of reflected moonlight and beyond. Whereas similar measurement capabilities have existed on predecessor sensors (principally, the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program), the day/night band offers the first calibrated radiance measurements, and as a result, it is the first opportunity to apply moonlight measurements to the problem of retrieving nocturnal cloud optical properties. Daytime retrievals of cloud properties such as top height, optical thickness, cloud top particle size, and water content, have been conducted routinely from an assortment of operational and research grade optical sensors for decades. These observations are providing a satellite-based global data record of increasing relevance to climate change monitoring (where clouds are thought to play an integral feedback role). The lack of a complete diurnal record of such key parameters presents an important shortfall of these records. Here we present the adaption of the daytime cloud optical and microphysical properties algorithm, which derives cloud optical thickness and effective radius from reflected sunlight to lunar reflectance. The new algorithm is referred to nighttime lunar cloud optical and microphysical properties. Day/night consistency of optical depth is shown through global analysis for one complete day of VIIRS data. Limitations of the retrieval of effective radius are discussed.

Based on observations of particles derived from frost flowers in the Arctic, we formulate an observation-based parameterization of salt aerosol source function from frost flowers. The particle flux from frost flowers in winter has the order of 10(6)m(-2)s(-1) at the wind speed of 10ms(-1), but the source flux is highly localized to new sea ice regions and strongly dependent on wind speed. We have implemented this parameterization into the regional Weather Research and Forecasting model with Chemistry initialized for two wintertime scenarios. The addition of sea salt aerosol emissions from frost flowers increases averaged sea salt aerosol mass and number concentration and subsequent cloud droplet number. This change of cloud droplet number concentration increases downward longwave cloud radiative forcing through enhanced cloud optical depth and emissivity. The magnitude of this forcing of sea salt aerosols from frost flowers on clouds and radiation, however, contributes negligibly to surface warming in Barrow, Alaska, in the wintertime scenarios studied here.

In a separate experiment we directly compared the He-3/He-4 ratio in air samples collected in 1973 and 2013 at the same location in La Jolla, California, eliminating any geographical bias. Both experiments are consistent with zero time rate of change for atmospheric He-3/He-4. Our best estimate for the rate of change of the He-3/He-4 ratio in Pacific marine air is -0.00140.0045%/yr (2 sigma), indicating that air helium is still a valid standard for terrestrial helium isotope measurements.

The warming is accompanied by on-coast wind convergence across East China Sea and by stronger northeasterly wind which is spatially inhomogeneous being greatest in the Taiwan Strait. Strong winds favor more frequent cross-shelf currents and vigorous spreading of heat from the Kuroshio, which warms the coastal sea in a positive feedback loop. The process also weakens the East Asian winter monsoon over eastern China, contributing to its decoupling from the recent rebound of the Siberian High.

This experiment combined a highly accurate humidity generation system containing an ice-coated saturator (millikelvin-level temperature control) to provide humidified streams of nitrogen to a cavity-enhanced laser absorption spectrometer. The measured ice vapor pressures had relative standard uncertainties ranging from 0.4% to 0.7% over the entire temperature range. We demonstrate that these measurements validate thermodynamic correlations for ice vapor pressure based on integration of the Clapeyron equation. Moreover, they also indicate that some commonly used vapor pressure correlations are inaccurate and should be avoided.

Imagery with a refresh rate of 1 min of many phenomena were acquired, including clouds, convection, fires, smoke, and hurricanes, including 6 days of Hurricane Sandy through landfall. NOAA had never before operated a GOES in a nearly continuous 1-min mode for such an extended period of time, thereby making these unique datasets to explore the future capabilities possible with GOES-R. The next generation GOES-R imager will be able to routinely take mesoscale (1000 km x 1000 km) images every 30 s (or two separate locations every minute). These images can be acquired even while scanning continental United States and full disk images. These high time-resolution images from the GOES-14 imager are being used to prepare for the GOES-R era and its advanced imager. This includes both the imagery and quantitative derived products such as cloud-top cooling. Several animations are included to showcase the rapid change of the many phenomena observed during super rapid scan operations for GOES-R (SRSOR). (C) The Authors.

Gray whales, however, also inhabited the North Atlantic Ocean until recent historical times (similar to 1600AD), leaving open questions about their historical ecology in nearshore communities of this basin. Here we report the discovery of fossil remains from two individual gray whales recovered from underwater excavations at separate localities of JY Reef, an offshore reef situated approximately 32 kilometers (km) offshore of St. Catherine's Island, Georgia, U.S.A. Both mandibles are diagnostic to the living E. robustus. Radiometric dating of shells from JY Reef suggests an approximate age range of these two specimens between 42 and 30 thousand years before present (ka). Morphological measurements of the preserved elements indicate that both of the mandibles likely belonged to immature and possibly yearling individuals. Collectively, these findings are among the oldest occurrences of gray whales in the North Atlantic basin, and their presence at temperate latitudes provides limited support for the hypothesis that Atlantic gray whales used a southerly breeding area at the end of a migratory pathway, by analog with lagoonal breeding environments of Baja California, Mexico, for the extant California gray whales, and the breeding areas for the extant North Atlantic right whales (Eubalaena glacialis) off the Georgia coast today. Stronger support for this latter contention may stem from future fossil discoveries in the region, as well as ancillary lines of evidence, such as the remains of species-specific ectoparasites and/or ancient DNA (aDNA).

As part of the International Census of Marine Life field project on Mid-Atlantic Ridge ecosystems (MAR-ECO), a discrete-depth trawling survey was conducted in 2009 aboard the NOAA FSV Henry B. Bigelow to examine the pelagic faunal assemblage structure and distribution over the Charlie-Gibbs Fracture Zone (CGFZ) of the northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Day/night sampling at closely spaced stations allowed the first characterization of diel vertical migration of pelagic nekton over the MAR-ECO study area. Discrete-depth sampling from 0-3000 m was conducted using a Norwegian "Krill" trawl with five codends that were opened and closed via a pre-programmed timer. Seventy-five species of fish were collected, with a maximum diversity and biomass observed between depths of 700-1900 m. A gradient in sea-surface temperature and underlying watermasses, from northwest to southeast, was mirrored by a similar gradient in ichthyofaunal diversity. Using multivariate analyses, eight deep-pelagic fish assemblages were identified, with depth as the primary discriminatory variable. Strong diel vertical migration (DVM) of the mesopelagic fauna was a prevalent feature of the study area, though the numerically dominant fish, Cyclothone microdon (Gonostomatidae), exhibited a broad (0-3000 m) vertical distribution and did not appear to migrate on a diel basis. Three patterns of vertical distribution were observed in the study area: (a) DVM of mesopelagic, and possibly bathypelagic, taxa; (b) broad vertical distribution spanning meso- and bathypelagic depths; and (c) discrete vertical distribution within a limited depth range. Overall species composition and rank order of abundance of fish species agreed with two previous expeditions to the CGFZ (1982-1983 and 2004), suggesting some long-term consistency in the ichthyofaunal composition of the study area, at least in the summer. Frequent captures of putative bathypelagic fishes, shrimps, and cephalopods in the epipelagic zone (0-200 m) were confirmed. The results of this expedition reveal distributional patterns unlike those previously reported for open-ocean ecosystems, with the implication of increased transfer efficiency of surface production to great depths in the mid-North Atlantic.

These genera may also be indicators of ecosystem health and potentially impact on coral reef ecosystems and the role they may play in the succession of coral to macroalgae dominated reefs has not been researched. Sixteen GBR field sites spanning inshore, mid-lagoon and outer lagoon (offshore) regions were studied. Samples were collected from September 2006 to December 2007 and abundance of benthic dinoflagellates on different host macroalgae and concentration of nutrients present in the water column were determined. The maximum abundance of Prorocentrum, Ostreopsis and Gambierdiscus found was 112, 793 and 50 cells per gram wet weight of host macroalgae, respectively. The average level of Dissolved Inorganic Nitrogen (DIN) in the water column across all sites (0.03 mg/L) was found to be more than double the threshold critical value (0.013 mg/L) for healthy coral reefs. Compared to a previous study 1984, there is evidence of a major shift in the distribution and abundance of these dinoflagellates. Inshore reefs have either of Prorocentrum (as at Green Island) or Ostreopsis (as at Magnetic Island) dominating the macroalgal surface niche which was once dominated by Gambierdiscus, whilst at offshore regions Gambierdiscus is still dominant. This succession may be linked to the ongoing eutrophication of the GBR lagoon and have consequences for the sources of toxins for ongoing cases of ciguatera. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Of the 26 target PBDE congeners, BDE-47 (4 Br), BDE-100 (5 Br), BDE-49 (4 Br), BDE-99 (5 Br), and BDE-154 (6 Br) were the five most frequently detected congeners in the order of decreasing importance. The sum of the concentrations of five major PBDE congeners, referred to as Sigma PBDEs, varied between estuaries and also among samples from a given estuary. Sigma PBDEs were lowest in YOY bluefish from Vineyard Sound, Nantucket Sound, Great Bay, Delaware Bay, Lynnhaven Bay, Cape Lookout, and Crescent Beach, with maximum Sigma PBDE concentrations below 10 ng/g wet weight. Sigma PBDEs in three bluefish samples from Stamford Harbor were detected at relatively high to unusually high concentrations of 69.1, 205, and 561 ng/g wet weight. Sigma PBDE values for other Stamford Harbor bluefish were generally low. Highest PBDE concentrations were detected in the vicinity of industrial and urban locations within the New York - New jersey metropolitan complex. Among them, bluefish from Newark Bay were generally the most contaminated with an average Sigma PBDE value of 56.6 +/- 30.8 ng/g wet weight. Sigma PBDEs in bluefish from Newark Bay were numerically greater than Sigma PBDEs in bluefish from all locations, however these differences were not statistically significant. Modest to good correlations between Sigma PBDEs and lipids were observed for YOY bluefish from Buzzards Bay, Upper New Bedford Harbor, Lower New Bedford Harbor, Outer New Bedford Harbor, Providence Harbor, Housatonic River, Norwalk Harbor, Little Neck Bay, Newark Bay, Sandy Hook Bay, Great Bay, Delaware Bay, Patuxent River and Crescent Beach. Poor correlations between Sigma PBDE and lipids were observed for bluefish from other estuaries. Sigma PBDEs were not always correlated with fish length or weight. Sigma PBDEs in YOY bluefish along the US Atlantic coastline modestly paralleled Sigma PBDEs in mussels and oysters, from not exact but geographically loosely similar locations, reported in the NOAA Mussel Watch Program. A number of researchers who used the high resolution mass spectrometry reported additional PBDE congeners. Although PBDE congeners we report do appear to be the prominent congeners in these studies, it is likely that the comparisons will be skewed in certain instances. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

There were no significant differences in the comet assay (% DNA in tail) results between the different age and sex categories. Significant difference in DNA strand breaks were found between Charleston Harbor dolphins (median similar to 17.4% DNA in tail) and Indian River Lagoon dolphins (median - 14.0% DNA in tail). A strong correlation found between T-cell proliferation and DNA strand breaks in dolphin lymphocytes suggests that dolphins with a high numbers of DNA strand breaks have a decreased ability to respond to infection. Higher concentrations of genotoxic agents in Charleston Harbor compared with Indian River lagoon may have been one of the causes of higher DNA strand breaks in these dolphins.

This study examines the effectiveness of a bilateral voluntary agreement, one type of voluntary programs, negotiated between the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the pressure-treated wood industry to phase-out the use of chromated copper arsenate (CCA), a poisonous arsenic compound. Arsenic is ranked number one on the EPA's priority list of hazardous substances. Unlike a majority of earlier studies on voluntary programs, dynamic panel estimation and structural break analysis show that while a technological innovation in semiconductors is associated with arsenic use increases, the CCA voluntary agreement is associated with a reduction in arsenic use to levels not seen since the 1920s. A voluntary ban in arsenic acid by pesticide manufacturers in the agriculture sector has also contributed to arsenic reductions. Furthermore, the results suggest that environmental activism has played a role in curbing arsenic use. Increasing stakeholder pressures, as measured by membership in the Sierra Club, improves voluntary agreement effectiveness. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The focus of our interest has been highly charged ion (HCI) produced nanofeatures, which we are able to produce in situ due to a direct vacuum connection to the NIST electron beam ion trap (EBIT). Using these sensors, we make systematic studies of the role of the charge state on the size of features created by HCIs and connect those measurements to the stopping power. Recently we have begun to study reduced velocities at a fixed charge state for which little previous theoretical or experimental work has been done. Due to many technical improvements that have been made to our methods, we offer a contemporary summary of the TJS fabrication and HCI irradiation method. Further, we present early experimental results showing increased surface damage when Xe41+ is extracted at approximate to 4.6 kV in comparison with approximate to 8.1 kV. Published by Elsevier B.V.

TI The energy balance of a US Class A evaporation pan SO AGRICULTURAL AND FOREST METEOROLOGY LA English DT Article DE Pan evaporation; Energy balance; Short-wave radiation; Long-wave radiation; Latent heat; Sensible heat; Heat storage; Pan coefficient ID WATER; RADIATION; MODEL AB Concurrent with the trend of rising global average air temperature, there have been worldwide observations of a decline in pan evaporation over the last 30-50 years. This global phenomenon has since received much attention from the scientific community. Better interpretation of the long-term trend of pan evaporation (involving seasonal and inter-annual variations) requires rigorous experimental investigation of the physics of pan evaporation. To do that, we constructed an instrumented US Class A pan that replicated an operational pan at Canberra Airport in Australia. We subsequently monitored pan evaporation and associated meteorological variables at half-hourly intervals over a three-year period (Oct 2007-Jan 2010). Extending our earlier work on the aerodynamics of pan evaporation, we conducted a theoretical and experimental study on the energy balance of the pan under non-steady state conditions. The theory considers heat exchanges at both the pan water surface and the pan wall. We formulate the radiative balance based on the geometry of the system (the pan diameter, the height of the water level, the height of the rim and solar zenith angle) and account for differences in albedo and emissivity between the pan water surface and the pan wall. The theory is used to compute all relevant energy fluxes and thereby close the energy balance. Integration of the half-hourly fluxes to a daily basis showed that we were able to close the energy budget with a RMSE of similar to 18 W m(-2) or 7.5% of the net short-wave radiation. We find that evaporation from our pan is dominated (similar to 80%) by the radiative exchanges at the pan water surface; those at the pan wall are smaller but also important. Contrary to expectation, there was little if any sensible heat exchange across the pan wall. Instead we found that the major sensible heat flux occurs across the pan water surface. Importantly, evaporative cooling at the pan water surface can result in a transfer of sensible heat from the (warmer) air to the (cooler) surface of the water body. The sensible heat flux from the overlying air to the pan water surface is minimal at low evaporation rates, but at higher evaporation rates (e.g., >300 W m(-2)) it contributes the equivalent of up to 15% of the total evaporative flux.

TI Comparative visual ecophysiology of mid-Atlantic temperate reef fishes SO BIOLOGY OPEN LA English DT Article DE Electroretinography; Fish; Flicker fusion frequency; Spectral sensitivity; Temperate reef; Visual ecology AB The absolute light sensitivities, temporal properties, and spectral sensitivities of the visual systems of three mid-Atlantic temperate reef fishes (Atlantic spadefish [Ephippidae: Chaetodipterus faber], tautog [Labridae: Tautoga onitis], and black sea bass [Serranidae: Centropristis striata]) were studied via electroretinography (ERG). Pelagic Atlantic spadefish exhibited higher temporal resolution but a narrower dynamic range than the two more demersal foragers. The higher luminous sensitivities of tautog and black sea bass were similar to other benthic and demersal coastal mid-Atlantic fishes. Flicker fusion frequency experiments revealed significant interspecific differences at maximum intensities that correlated with lifestyle and habitat. Spectral responses of the three species spanned 400-610 nm, with high likelihood of cone dichromacy providing the basis for color and contrast discrimination. Significant day-night differences in spectral responses were evident in spadefish and black sea bass but not tautog, a labrid with characteristic structure-associated nocturnal torpor. Atlantic spadefish responded to a wider range of wavelengths than did deeper-dwelling tautog or black sea bass. Collectively, these results suggest that temperate reef-associated fishes are well-adapted to their gradient of brighter to dimmer photoclimates, representative of their unique ecologies and life histories. Continuing anthropogenic degradation of water quality in coastal environments, at a pace faster than the evolution of visual systems, may however impede visual foraging and reproductive signaling in temperate reef fishes.

TI Field-driven sense elements for chirality-dependent domain wall detection and storage SO JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID CELLULAR-AUTOMATA; LOGIC; GATE AB A method for locally sensing and storing data of transverse domain wall chirality in planar nanowire logic and memory systems is presented. Patterned elements, in close proximity to the nanowires, respond to the asymmetry in the stray field from the domain wall to produce a chirality-dependent response. When a bias field is applied, a stray field-assisted reversal of the element magnetization results in a reversed remanent state, measurable by scanning electron microscopy with polarization analysis (SEMPA). The elements are designed as triangles with tips pointing toward the nanowire, allowing the shape anisotropy to be dominated by the base but having a portion with lower volume and lower energy barrier closest to the domain wall. Micromagnetic modeling assists in the design of the nanowire-triangle systems and experiments using SEMPA confirm the importance of aspect ratio and spacing given a constant bias field magnitude.

The reconstitution of VLY was followed in real-time by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Changes of the EIS parameters of the tBLMs upon exposure to VLY solutions were consistent with the formation of water-filled pores in the membranes. It was found that reconstitution of VLY is a strictly cholesterol-dependent, irreversible process. At a constant cholesterol concentration reconstitution of VLY occurred in a concentration-dependent manner, thus allowing the monitoring of VLY concentration and activity in vitro and opening possibilities for tBLM utilization in bioanalysis. EIS methodology allowed us to detect VLY down to 0.5 nM (28 ng/mL) concentration. Inactivation of VLY by certain amino acid substitutions led to noticeably lesser tBLM damage. Pre-incubation of VLY with the neutralizing monoclonal antibody 9B4 inactivated the VLY membrane damage in a concentration-dependent manner, while the non-neutralizing antibody 21A5 exhibited no effect. These findings demonstrate the biological relevance of the interaction between VLY and the tBLM. The membrane-damaging interaction between VLY and tBLM was observed in the absence of the human CD59 receptor, known to strongly facilitate the hemolytic activity of VLY. Taken together, our study demonstrates the applicability of tBLMs as a bioanalytical platform for the detection of the activity of VLY and possibly other cholesterol-dependent cytolysins.

Phase 2 of the Distributed Model lntercomparison Project (DMIP 2) was formulated primarily as a mechanism to help guide the U.S. NWS as it expands its use of spatially distributed watershed models for operational river, flash flood, and water resources forecasting. The overall purpose of DMIP 2 was to test many distributed models forced by high quality operational data with a view towards meeting NWS operational forecasting needs. At the same time, DMIP 2 was formulated as an experiment that could be leveraged by the broader scientific community as a platform for the testing, evaluation, and improvement of distributed models. DMIP 2 contained experiments in two regions: in the DMIP 1 Oklahoma basins, and second, in two basins in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the western USA. This paper presents the overview and results of the DMIP 2 experiments conducted for the two Sierra Nevada basins. Simulations from five independent groups from France, Italy, Spain and the USA were analyzed. Experiments included comparison of lumped and distributed model streamflow simulations generated with uncalibrated and calibrated parameters, and simulations of snow water equivalent (SWE) at interior locations. As in other phases of DMIP, the participant simulations were evaluated against observed hourly streamflow and SWE data and compared with simulations provided by the NWS operational lumped model. A wide range of statistical measures are used to evaluate model performance on a run-period and event basis. Differences between uncalibrated and calibrated model simulations are assessed. Results indicate that in the two study basins, no single model performed best,in all cases. In addition, no distributed model was able to consistently outperform the lumped Model benchmark. However, one or more distributed models were able to outperform the lumped model benchmark in many of the analyses. Several calibrated distributed models achieved higher correlation and lower bias than the calibrated lumped benchmark in the calibration, validation, and combined periods. Evaluating a number of specific precipitation-runoff events, one calibrated distributed model was able to perform at a level equal to or better than the calibrated lumped model benchmark in terms of event-averaged peak and runoff volume error. However, three distributed models were able to provide improved peak timing compared to the lumped benchmark. Taken together, calibrated distributed models provided specific improvements over the lumped benchmark in 24% of the model-basin pairs for peak flow, 12% of the model-basin pairs for event runoff volume, and 41% of the model-basin pairs for peak timing. Model calibration improved the performance statistics of nearly all models (lumped and distributed). Analysis of several precipitation/runoff events indicates that distributed models may more accurately model the dynamics of the rain/snow line (and resulting hydrologic conditions) compared to the lumped benchmark model. Analysis of SWE simulations shows that better results were achieved at higher elevation observation sites. Although the performance of distributed models was mixed compared to the lumped benchmark, all calibrated models performed well compared to results in the DMIP 2 Oklahoma basins in terms of run period correlation and %Bias, and event-averaged peak and runoff error. This finding is noteworthy considering that these Sierra Nevada basins have complications such as orographically-enhanced precipitation, snow accumulation and melt, rain on snow events, and highly variable topography. Looking at these findings and those from the previous DMIP experiments, it is clear that at this point in their evolution, distributed models have the potential to provide valuable information on specific flood events that could complement lumped model simulations.

TI Time-Resolved Infrared Studies of a Trimethylphosphine Model Derivative of [FeFe]-Hydrogenase SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY B LA English DT Article ID FE-ONLY HYDROGENASES; GAUSSIAN-BASIS SETS; ACTIVE-SITE MODELS; IRON HYDROGENASE; MOLECULAR CALCULATIONS; ELECTRONIC-STRUCTURE; CARBON-MONOXIDE; ATOMS LI; CLUSTER; PHOTOSENSITIZER AB Model compounds that structurally mimic the hydrogen-producing active site of [FeFe]-hydrogenases have been studied to explore potential ground-state electronic structure effects on reaction mechanisms compared to hexacarbonyl derivatives. The time-dependent behavior of Fe-2(mu-S2C3H6)(CO)(4)(PMe)(2) (A) in room temperature n-heptane and acetonitrile solutions was examined using various ultrafast UV and visible excitation pulses with broadband IR-probe spectroscopy of the carbonyl (CO) stretching region. Ground- and excited-state electronic and CO-stretching mode vibrational properties of the possible isomers of A were also examined using density functional theory (DFT) computations. In n-heptane, 355 and 532 nm excitation resulted in short-lived (135 +/- 74 ps) bands assigned to excited-state, CO-loss photoproducts. These bands decay away, forming new long-lived absorptions that are likely a mixture of isomers of both three-CO and four-CO ground-state isomers. These new bands grow in with a time scale of 214 +/- 119 ps and persist for more than 100 ns. In acetonitrile, similar results are seen with a 532 nm pump, but the 355 nm data lack evidence of the longer-lived bands. In either solvent, the 266 nm pump data seem to also lack longer-lived bands, but the intensities are significantly lower in this data, making firm conclusions more difficult. We suggest that these wavelength-dependent excitation dynamics significantly alter potential mechanisms and efficiencies for light-driven catalysis.

TI Quantifying the Relationship between the Maximum Achievable Voltage and Current Levels in Low-Bandgap Polymer Photovoltaics SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY C LA English DT Article ID HETEROJUNCTION SOLAR-CELLS; DONOR-ACCEPTOR POLYMERS; EXCITON DISSOCIATION; ELECTRON-TRANSFER; CHARGE-TRANSFER; GAP POLYMERS; ENERGY; DYNAMICS; EFFICIENCY; OFFSETS AB A critical problem in the design of materials for organic photovoltaics is quantifying the driving force needed for efficient charge separation without losses associated with a large overpotential. Here, we directly measured the effect of the molecular driving force on the charge transfer rate in films of low-bandgap push-pull type polymers mixed with a series of fullerene-based molecular acceptors using broadband near-infrared transient absorption spectroscopy. By systematically tuning the absolute energy levels of the donor and acceptor, as well as the relative offset between them, we determine the minimum voltage loss required to achieve a high short circuit current. A molecular donor-acceptor framework provides a quantitative description of the charge transfer rate constants in our system and describes the scaling of the photogenerated current with S-1-LUMO energy offset. These results point to potential efficiency gains for high performing polymer devices through recovery of additional voltage without sacrificing current output.

TI Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Study of Atomic Motion in A(2)B(12)H(12) (A = Na, K, Rb, Cs): Anion Reorientations and Na+ Mobility SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY C LA English DT Article ID DODECAHYDRO-CLOSO-DODECABORATE; HYDROGEN DIFFUSION; METAL BOROHYDRIDES; PHASE-TRANSITION; LIBH4; NMR; LI2B12H12; DECOMPOSITION; DESORPTION; STABILITY AB To study the reorientational motion of icosahedral [B12H12](2-) anions in A(2)B(12)H(12) (A = Na, K, Rb, Cs) and the translational diffusion of Na+ cations in Na2B12H12, we have measured the H-1, B-11, and Na-23 NMR spectra and spin-lattice relaxation rates in these compounds over the temperature range of 170-580 K. For cubic compounds K2B12H12, Rb2B12H12, and Cs2B12H12, the measured H-1 and B-11 spin-lattice relaxation rates are governed by thermally activated reorientations of the [B12H12](2-) anions. The activation energy of this reorientational motion is found to decrease with increasing cation radius, changing from 800 meV for K2B12H12 to 549 meV for Rb2B12H12 and 427 meV for Cs2B12H12. For Na2B12H12, the first-order transition from the low-temperature monoclinic to the high-temperature cubic phase near 520 K is accompanied by a 2 orders of magnitude increase in the reorientational jump rate, and the corresponding activation energy changes from 770 meV for the low-T phase to 270 meV for the high-T phase. Measurements of the Na-23 NMR spectra and spin-lattice relaxation rates show that the transition from the low-T to the high-T phase of Na2B12H12 is also accompanied by the onset of the fast translational diffusion of Na+ ions. Just above the transition point, the lower limit of the Na+ jump rate estimated from the Na-23 spin-lattice relaxation data is 2 x 10(8) s(-1), and the corresponding activation energy for Na+ diffusion is about 410 meV.

We clearly identified and characterized two magnetic relaxations. The slower relaxation observed in the ac susceptibility is at the ms timescale around T = 2 K and its activation energy is 16 K. On the other hand, the faster relaxation in the QENS measurements occurs on the timescale between ns and ps with activation energy of 174 K. The slower relaxation may occur through thermally activated tunneling among magnetic substates. We discuss two possible origins for the faster relaxation; one is a thermally activated tunneling between the higher excited states, the other is the magnetic relaxation coupled with the motion of ligands around the magnetic ions. This is the first clear observation of magnetic relaxation on the single molecule magnet revealed by QENS. (C) 2013 Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.

We perform full spatio-spectral imaging of dried purple membrane patches purified from Halobacterium salinarum with infrared vibrational scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy (s-SNOM). Using near-field spectral phase contrast based on the Amide I resonance of the protein backbone, we identify the protein distribution with 20 nm spatial resolution and few-protein sensitivity. This demonstrates the general applicability of s-SNOM vibrational nanospectroscopy, with potential extension to a wide range of biomolecular systems.

However, traditional duality transformations fail for systems like the Heisenberg model and non-Abelian gauge theories. The bond-algebraic theory of quantum and classical dualities provides a solution to this long-standing conundrum, the so-called non-Abelian duality problem, by embedding traditional dualities into a more general transformation scheme that always preserves locality in any number of dimensions. Remarkably, it turns out to be unimportant whether a model's group of symmetries is Abelian or non-Abelian. The capability of the bond-algebraic approach to handle finite and infinite systems with arbitrary boundary conditions has recently led to the discovery of holographic symmetries, relating topological order, edge states, and generalized order parameters. We discuss the interplay between these distinguished boundary symmetries and our solution to the non-Abelian duality problem. To illustrate our technique we present, among others, novel dualities for the SU(2) principal chiral field and both U(1) and SU(2) generalizations of the planar quantum compass model of orbital ordering.

The reported onset of spontaneous electric polarization at T D 23.5 K coincides with the appearance, on cooling, of elastic magnetic scattering. At higher temperatures long range magnetic correlations gradually develop but they are dynamic. The ground state is characterized by three-dimensional long range magnetic ordering but along the c direction the correlation length remains limited to similar to 200 angstrom.

We detect 1545 sources above 4.5 sigma significance in at least one band. Based on their relative brightness between survey bands, we classify the sources into two populations, one dominated by synchrotron emission from active galactic nuclei, and one dominated by thermal emission from dust-enshrouded star-forming galaxies. We find 1238 synchrotron and 307 dusty sources. We cross-match all sources against external catalogs and find 189 unidentified synchrotron sources and 189 unidentified dusty sources. The dusty sources without counterparts are good candidates for high-redshift, strongly lensed submillimeter galaxies. We derive number counts for each population from 1 Jy down to roughly 11, 4, and 11 mJy at 95, 150, and 220 GHz. We compare these counts with galaxy population models and find that none of the models we consider for either population provide a good fit to the measured counts in all three bands. The disparities imply that these measurements will be an important input to the next generation of millimeter-wave extragalactic source population models. C1 [Mocanu, L. M.; Crawford, T.

With much lower radiative efficiencies of protons than of electrons, and the recent reports of very strong coupling of electrons with shock-heated protons indicated by particle-in-cell simulations, the leptonic models seem to be strongly favored over the hadronic ones. However, the electron-proton coupling combined with the external-radiation-Compton (ERC) models of gamma-ray production in leptonic models predict extremely hard X-ray spectra, with energy indices alpha(x) similar to 0. This is inconsistent with the observed 2-10 keV slopes of blazars, which cluster around alpha(x) similar to 0.6. This problem can be resolved by assuming that electrons can be efficiently cooled down radiatively to non-relativistic energies, or that blazar spectra are entirely dominated by the synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) component up to at least 10 keV. Here, we show that the required cooling can be sufficiently efficient only at distances r < 0.03 pc. SSC spectra, on the other hand, can be produced roughly co-spatially with the observed synchrotron and ERC components, which are most likely located roughly at a parsec scale. We show that the dominant SSC component can also be produced much further than the dominant synchrotron and ERC components, at distances of greater than or similar to 10 pc. Hence, depending on the spatial distribution of the energy dissipation along the jet, one may expect to see gamma-ray/optical events with either correlated or uncorrelated X-rays. In all cases the number of e(+)e(-) pairs per proton is predicted to be very low. The direct verification of the proposed SSC scenario, and particularly the question of the co-spatiality of the SSC component with other spectral components, requires sensitive observations in the hard X-ray band. This is now possible with the deployment of the NuSTAR satellite, providing the required sensitivity to monitor the details of the hard X-ray spectra of blazars in the range where the ERC component is predicted to start dominating over the SSC component.

TI MEASUREMENT OF THE COSMIC MICROWAVE BACKGROUND DAMPING TAIL FROM THE 2500-SQUARE-DEGREE SPT-SZ SURVEY SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE cosmic background radiation; cosmology: observations; large-scale structure of universe ID SOUTH-POLE TELESCOPE; ATACAMA COSMOLOGY TELESCOPE; BARYON ACOUSTIC-OSCILLATIONS; INFLATIONARY UNIVERSE SCENARIO; DIGITAL SKY SURVEY; POWER SPECTRUM; GALAXY CLUSTERS; SYMMETRY-BREAKING; DARK ENERGY; 148 GHZ AB We present a measurement of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature power spectrum using data from the recently completed South Pole Telescope Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SPT-SZ) survey. This measurement is made from observations of 2540 deg(2) of sky with arcminute resolution at 150 GHz, and improves upon previous measurements using the SPT by tripling the sky area. We report CMB temperature anisotropy power over the multipole range 650 < l < 3000. We fit the SPT bandpowers, combined with the 7 yr Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP7) data, with a six-parameter Lambda CDM cosmological model and find that the two datasets are consistent and well fit by the model. Adding SPT measurements significantly improves Lambda CDM parameter constraints; in particular, the constraint on theta(s) tightens by a factor of 2.7. The impact of gravitational lensing is detected at 8.1 sigma, the most significant detection to date. This sensitivity of the SPT+WMAP7 data to lensing by large-scale structure at low redshifts allows us to constrain the mean curvature of the observable universe with CMB data alone to be Omega(k) = -0.003(-0.018)(+0.014). Using the SPT+ WMAP7 data, we measure the spectral index of scalar fluctuations to be n(s) = 0.9623 +/- 0.0097 in the Lambda CDM model, a 3.9 sigma preference for a scale-dependent spectrum with n(s) < 1. The SPT measurement of the CMB damping tail helps break the degeneracy that exists between the tensor-to-scalar ratio r and ns in large-scale CMB measurements, leading to an upper limit of r < 0.18 (95% C. L.) in the Lambda CDM+r model. Adding low-redshift measurements of the Hubble constant (H-0) and the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) feature to the SPT+ WMAP7 data leads to further improvements. The combination of SPT+WMAP7+H-0+BAO constrains n(s) = 0.9538 +/- 0.0081 in the Lambda CDM model, a 5.7 sigma detection of n(s) < 1, and places an upper limit of r < 0.11 (95% C. L.) in the Lambda CDM+r model. These new constraints on ns and r have significant implications for our understanding of inflation, which we discuss in the context of selected single-field inflation models. C1 [Story, K.

Here, we combine SANS measurements with self-consistent field theory (SCFT) calculations to study the structure of deuterated poly(methyl methacrylate) (dPMMA) nanocomposites containing PMMA-grafted Fe3O4 nanospheres, with a specific emphasis on the conformation of the PMMA brush chains. We present a new, detailed SANS model which is able to account for the excluded volume of the grafted polymer chains, and compare the experimentally measured brush chain conformations to predictions from SCFT calculations for a polymer-grafted nanosphere, and previous studies by others. The results of the SANS measurements are in qualitative agreement with SCFT calculations and in excellent quantitative agreement with previous studies that indirectly assessed the structure of the polymer chains by measuring the hydrodynamic radius of the nanoparticles. Unlike previous methods, however, SANS provides direct measurements of the polymer brush conformation. C1 [Hore, Michael J. A.; Hammouda, Boualem] NIST, Ctr Neutron Res, Gaithersburg, MD 20899 USA.

The method does not require intermediate calculation of loss and storage moduli, calibration measurements, or use of the conventional CR tip shape parameter. We present the method's physical concepts and sensitivity calculations for typical experimental parameters. In addition, CR experiments were performed on four homogeneous polymer samples (polystyrene, high-density polyethylene, and two commercial photostress polymers) with tan (5 in the range from approximately 0.02 to 0.2. Results compare favorably to those obtained by microscale dynamic nanoindentation and macroscale dynamic mechanical analysis. These results show the potential of CR modes for nanoscale viscoelastic measurements of polymers and biomaterials.

Results show that current inventories from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research underestimate methane emissions nationally by a factor of similar to 1.5 and similar to 1.7, respectively. Our study indicates that emissions due to ruminants and manure are up to twice the magnitude of existing inventories. In addition, the discrepancy in methane source estimates is particularly pronounced in the south-central United States, where we find total emissions are similar to 2.7 times greater than in most inventories and account for 24 +/- 3% of national emissions. The spatial patterns of our emission fluxes and observed methane-propane correlations indicate that fossil fuel extraction and refining are major contributors (45 +/- 13%) in the south-central United States. This result suggests that regional methane emissions due to fossil fuel extraction and processing could be 4.9 +/- 2.6 times larger than in EDGAR, the most comprehensive global methane inventory. These results cast doubt on the US EPA's recent decision to downscale its estimate of national natural gas emissions by 25-30%. Overall, we conclude that methane emissions associated with both the animal husbandry and fossil fuel industries have larger greenhouse gas impacts than indicated by existing inventories.

In the surface ocean, methanol represents a supply of energy and carbon for marine microbes. Here we report direct measurements of air-sea methanol transfer along a similar to 10,000-km north-south transect of the Atlantic. The flux of methanol was consistently from the atmosphere to the ocean. Constrained by the aerodynamic limit and measured rate of air-sea sensible heat exchange, methanol transfer resembles a one-way depositional process, which suggests dissolved methanol concentrations near the water surface that are lower than what were measured at similar to 5 m depth, for reasons currently unknown. We estimate the global oceanic uptake of methanol and examine the lifetimes of this compound in the lower atmosphere and upper ocean with respect to gas exchange. We also constrain the molecular diffusional resistance above the ocean surface-an important term for improving air-sea gas exchange models.

Qi, Youcun Zhang, Jian Howard, Ken Hu, Junjun Wang, Jun TI Performance evaluation of radar and satellite rainfalls for Typhoon Morakot over Taiwan: Are remote-sensing products ready for gauge denial scenario of extreme events? SO JOURNAL OF HYDROLOGY LA English DT Article DE Rainfall; Radar; Satellite; Typhoon Morakot ID FLASH-FLOOD; PRECIPITATION; SYSTEM; TRMM; RESOLUTION; PREDICTION; MODEL AB This study evaluated rainfall estimates from ground radar network and four satellite algorithms with a relatively dense rain gauge network over Taiwan Island for the 2009 extreme Typhoon Morakot at various spatiotemporal scales (from 0.04 degrees to 0.25 degrees and hourly to event total accumulation). The results show that all the remote-sensing products underestimate the rainfall as compared to the rain gauge measurements, in an order of radar (-18%), 3B42RT (-19%), PERSIANN-CCS (28%), 3842V6 (-36%), and CMORPH (-61%). The ground radar estimates are also most correlated with gauge measurements, having a correlation coefficient (CC) of 0.81 (0.82) at 0.04 degrees (0.25 degrees) spatial resolution. For satellite products, CMORPH has the best spatial correlation (0.70) but largely underestimates the total rainfall accumulation. Compared to microwave ingested algorithms, the IR-dominant algorithms provide a better estimation of the total rainfall accumulation but poorly resolve the temporal evolution of the warm cloud typhoon, especially for a large overestimation at the early storm stage. This study suggests that the best performance comes from the ground radar estimates that could be used as an alternative in case of the gauge denial. However, the current satellite rainfall products still have limitations in terms of resolution and accuracy, especially for this type of extreme typhoon. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Stephen TI Inhibition of DNA Glycosylases via Small Molecule Purine Analogs SO PLOS ONE LA English DT Article ID OXIDATIVELY DAMAGED DNA; T4 ENDONUCLEASE-V; REPAIR ENZYME; NEIL1 DNA; THYMIDYLATE SYNTHASE; PARP INHIBITORS; EXCISION-REPAIR; MODIFIED BASES; IN-VITRO; PROTEIN AB Following the formation of oxidatively-induced DNA damage, several DNA glycosylases are required to initiate repair of the base lesions that are formed. Recently, NEIL1 and other DNA glycosylases, including OGG1 and NTH1 were identified as potential targets in combination chemotherapeutic strategies. The potential therapeutic benefit for the inhibition of DNA glycosylases was validated by demonstrating synthetic lethality with drugs that are commonly used to limit DNA replication through dNTP pool depletion via inhibition of thymidylate synthetase and dihydrofolate reductase. Additionally, NEIL1-associated synthetic lethality has been achieved in combination with Fanconi anemia, group G. As a prelude to the development of strategies to exploit the potential benefits of DNA glycosylase inhibition, it was necessary to develop a reliable high-throughput screening protocol for this class of enzymes. Using NEIL1 as the proof-of-principle glycosylase, a fluorescence-based assay was developed that utilizes incision of site-specifically modified oligodeoxynucleotides to detect enzymatic activity. This assay was miniaturized to a 1536-well format and used to screen small molecule libraries for inhibitors of the combined glycosylase/AP lyase activities. Among the top hits of these screens were several purine analogs, whose postulated presence in the active site of NEIL1 was consistent with the paradigm of NEIL1 recognition and excision of damaged purines. Although a subset of these small molecules could inhibit other DNA glycosylases that excise oxidatively-induced DNA adducts, they could not inhibit a pyrimidine dimer-specific glycosylase.

Castaneda-Priego, Ramon TI Dynamical arrest in adhesive hard-sphere dispersions driven by rigidity percolation SO PHYSICAL REVIEW E LA English DT Article ID GELATION; PARTICLES; BEHAVIOR; COLLOIDS; MODEL AB One major goal in condensed matter is identifying the physical mechanisms that lead to arrested states of matter, especially gels and glasses. The complex nature and microscopic details of each particular system are relevant. However, from both scientific and technological viewpoints, a general, consistent and unified definition is of paramount importance. Through Monte Carlo computer simulations of states identified in experiments, we demonstrate that dynamical arrest in adhesive hard-sphere dispersions is the result of rigidity percolation with coordination number < n(b)> equal to 2.4. This corresponds to an established mechanism leading to mechanical transitions in network-forming materials [Phys. Rev. Lett. 54, 2107 (1985)]. Our findings connect the concept of critical gel formation in colloidal suspensions with short-range attractive interactions to the universal concept of rigidity percolation. Furthermore, the bond, angular, and local distributions along the gelation line are explicitly studied in order to determine the topology of the structure at the critical gel state.

Consequently, energy levels based on observation for the latter are obtained through extrapolation of wavelengths along the isoelectronic sequence for the 2s(2)2p P-2(3/2)o - 2s2p(2) P-4(5/2) transition. In this paper, accurate theoretical excitation energies from a partitioned-correlation-function-interaction (PCFI) method are reported for B I that include both relativistic effects in the Breit-Pauli approximation and a finite mass correction. Results are compared with extrapolated values from observed data. For B I our estimate of the excitation energy 28 959 +/- 5 cm(-1) is in better agreement with the values obtained by Edlen et al. (1969) than those reported by Kramida and Ryabtsev (2007). Our method is validated by applying the same procedure to the separation of these levels in C II.

Zero-field muon spin relaxation measurements show no significant increase in relaxation rate at the density wave ordering temperature for any composition, indicating that the density wave is of the charge rather than spin type. The absence of any superstructure peaks in selected area electron and high-resolution neutron diffraction measurements below T-DW suggests that the charge density wave does not involve modulation of atomic arrangement. Transverse field muon spin rotation measurements reveal a robust superconducting state below T-c approximate to 1 K for x = 1.

TI Precision Spectroscopy of Polarized Molecules in an Ion Trap SO SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID LASER AB Polar molecules are desirable systems for quantum simulations and cold chemistry. Molecular ions are easily trapped, but a bias electric field applied to polarize them tends to accelerate them out of the trap. We present a general solution to this issue by rotating the bias field slowly enough for the molecular polarization axis to follow but rapidly enough for the ions to stay trapped. We demonstrate Ramsey spectroscopy between Stark-Zeeman sublevels in (HfF+)-Hf-180-F-19 with a coherence time of 100 milliseconds. Frequency shifts arising from well-controlled topological (Berry) phases are used to determine magnetic g factors. The rotating-bias-field technique may enable using trapped polar molecules for precision measurement and quantum information science, including the search for an electron electric dipole moment.

TI Historical versus Contemporary Climate Forcing on the Annual Nesting Variability of Loggerhead Sea Turtles in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean SO PLOS ONE LA English DT Article ID PACIFIC LEATHERBACK TURTLES; NINO SOUTHERN-OSCILLATION; CARETTA-CARETTA; MARINE TURTLES; CATCH RATES; EL-NINO; REMIGRATION INTERVALS; EXCLUDER DEVICES; COASTAL WATERS; POPULATION AB A recent analysis suggested that historical climate forcing on the oceanic habitat of neonate sea turtles explained two-thirds of interannual variability in contemporary loggerhead (Caretta caretta) sea turtle nest counts in Florida, where nearly 90% of all nesting by this species in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean occurs. Here, we show that associations between annual nest counts and climate conditions decades prior to nest counts and those conditions one year prior to nest counts were not significantly different. Examination of annual nest count and climate data revealed that statistical artifacts influenced the reported 31-year lag association with nest counts. The projected importance of age 31 neophytes to annual nest counts between 2020 and 2043 was modeled using observed nest counts between 1989 and 2012. Assuming consistent survival rates among cohorts for a 5% population growth trajectory and that one third of the mature female population nests annually, the 41% decline in annual nest counts observed during 1998-2007 was not projected for 2029-2038. This finding suggests that annual nest count trends are more influenced by remigrants than neophytes. Projections under the 5% population growth scenario also suggest that the Peninsular Recovery Unit could attain the demographic recovery criteria of 106,100 annual nests by 2027 if nest counts in 2019 are at least comparable to 2012. Because the first year of life represents only 4% of the time elapsed through age 31, cumulative survival at sea across decades explains most cohort variability, and thus, remigrant population size. Pursuant to the U.S. Endangered Species Act, staggered implementation of protection measures for all loggerhead life stages has taken place since the 1970s. We suggest that the 1998-2007 nesting decline represented a lagged perturbation response to historical anthropogenic impacts, and that subsequent nest count increases since 2008 reflect a potential recovery response.

A set of conditions is demonstrated and explained where the detection of the desired signal using cross-spectral analysis fails partially or entirely in the presence of a second uncorrelated signal. Not understanding when and how this effect occurs can lead to dramatic under-reporting of the desired signal. Theoretical and simulated demonstrations of this effect are presented. C1 [Nelson, C.

TI Distance Dependence of Exciton Dissociation at a Phthalocyanine-C-60 Interface SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY C LA English DT Article ID RANGE ELECTRON-TRANSFER; CHARGE-TRANSFER; THIN-FILMS; SEMICONDUCTOR HETEROJUNCTIONS; SOLAR-CELLS; ENERGY; DYNAMICS; DEPOSITION; MOLECULES; PENTACENE AB Exciton dissociation at donor-acceptor (DA) interfaces is critical for the operation of organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices, yet a detailed physical understanding of this process is lacking. This work examines an important aspect of this process, namely the dependence of the exciton dissociation rate on distance from the DA interface. Time-resolved two-photon photoemission (TR-2PPE) measurements were performed on bilayer H2Pc\C-60 heterojunctions fabricated using organic molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) with varying H2Pc thickness. In the measurements, the dynamics of the H2Pc S-1 exciton population created with a 1.55 eV pump pulse were monitored via photoemission with a delayed UV probe pulse. The depth sensitivity of TR-2PPE, due to the short electron attenuation length, provides the means to follow excited state dynamics as a function of H2Pc thickness. Analysis of the S-1 population decay as a function of H2Pc thickness revealed that the electron transfer rate for the first H2Pc layer, adjacent to C-60, is k(CT) = (2.3 +/- 0.4) X 10(12) s(-1). Exciton dissociation is reduced by a factor of at least 10 for the second H2Pc layer and beyond. C1 [Dutton, G. J.; Robey, S. W.] NIST, Gaithersburg, MD 20899 USA.

Guilyardi, Eric TI Late-twentieth-century emergence of the El Nino propagation asymmetry and future projections SO NATURE LA English DT Article ID TROPICAL PACIFIC; ENSO DYNAMICS; OCEAN; MODEL; SIMULATIONS; EVOLUTION; ENSEMBLE; FEEDBACK; EVENTS; IMPACT AB The El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the Earth's most prominent source of interannual climate variability, exerting profound worldwide effects(1-7). Despite decades of research, its behaviour continues to challenge scientists. In the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean, the anomalously cool sea surface temperatures (SSTs) found during La Nina events and the warm waters of modest El Nino events both propagate westwards, as in the seasonal cycle(7). In contrast, SST anomalies propagate eastwards during extreme El Nino events, prominently in the post-1976 period(7-10), spurring unusual weather events worldwide with costly consequences(3-6,11). The cause of this propagation asymmetry is currently unknown(10). Here we trace the cause of the asymmetry to the variations in upper ocean currents in the equatorial Pacific, whereby the westward-flowing currents are enhanced during La Nina events but reversed during extreme El Nino events. Our results highlight that propagation asymmetry is favoured when the westward mean equatorial currents weaken, as is projected to be the case under global warming(12-14). By analysing past and future climate simulations of an ensemble of models with more realistic propagation, we find a doubling in the occurrences of El Nino events that feature prominent eastward propagation characteristics in a warmer world. Our analysis thus suggests that more frequent emergence of propagation asymmetry will be an indication of the Earth's warming climate.

TI High-density nursery culture of recently-settled blue king crabs (Paralithodes platypus): Comparisons to red king crabs (Paralithodes camtschaticus) SO AQUACULTURE LA English DT Article DE Blue king crab; Cannibalism; Hatchery; Paralithodes platypus; Stock enhancement ID CALLINECTES-SAPIDUS; PRIBILOF-ISLANDS; WILD CRABS; CANNIBALISM; TEMPERATURE; SURVIVAL; LARVAL; GROWTH; ALASKA; SUBSTRATE AB Stock enhancement through the release of cultured juveniles has been suggested as a possible recovery tool for depleted red (Paralithodes camtschaticus) and blue (Paralithodes platypus) king crab populations in Alaska, USA. Considerable progress has been made in the past decade in red king crab culture technology, but similar technologies are less developed for blue king crabs. As part of a stock enhancement feasibility study, hatchery-raised blue king crab juveniles were cultured from larvae of ovigerous females collected off Saint Matthew Island, Alaska. Juvenile instars were then cultured in indoor nursery containers for 42 days at stocking densities of 500, 1000, 2000, 4000, and 6000 crabs m(-2) starting at metamorphosis to the first instar stage (C1). At day 42, survival was above 90% at all the densities, but had a slightly decreasing trend that ranged from 96% at 500 crabs m(-2) to 90% at 6000 crabs m(-2). The numbers of crabs cannibalized increased with density, but the overall increase in crab biomass offset the negative effects of cannibalism. Survival rates and biomass production for the first 42 days post-settlement is much higher for blue king crabs compared to red king crabs reared under identical conditions. The low rate of cannibalism implies that blue king crabs are well suited for large-scale hatchery culture. Our results suggest that these two closely related crab species can be reared at different stocking densities immediately flowing settlement and that high densities will maximize hatchery efficiency for blue king crabs. Future studies should investigate longer term nursery culture, beyond 42 days, to refine protocols for extended blue king crab rearing. Improving nursery techniques will boost the productivity and financial viability of a large-scale stock enhancement program. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

As an initial step toward attainment of this goal, the efficacy of the model was evaluated by comparing model simulations with published data for the growth of a wild strain of coho salmon and a domestic strain selected for its rapid growth characteristics. Model simulations were consistent with the observed growth for each strain when the consumption rate model coefficient was adjusted to account for differences in the stomach size. In an independent study, the growth and proximate composition of juvenile Chinook salmon were measured in response to high and low lipid diets supplied at two different feeding rates. Model simulations were closely comparable to these data when the model coefficients for consumption and apparent respiration rate were adjusted to account for ration and body lipid content. These insights and the successful simulation of measured growth data for eight different combinations of ration, food composition, and coho strain are useful and necessary steps needed to support the development of credible production-scale management models for juvenile salmonid fish production and waste by-product generation from aquaculture and mariculture activities.

TI Capture and isolation of highly charged ions in a unitary Penning trap SO PHYSICAL REVIEW A LA English DT Article ID ELECTRON; PHYSICS; ANTIPROTONS; TECHNOLOGY; BEAMS; LINE AB We recently used a compact Penning trap to capture and isolate highly charged ions extracted from an electron beam ion trap (EBIT) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Isolated charge states of highly stripped argon and neon ions with total charge Q >= 10, extracted at energies of up to 4 x 10(3) Q eV, are captured in a trap with well depths of approximate to(4-12) Q eV. Here we discuss in detail the process to optimize velocity tuning, capture, and storage of highly charged ions in a unitary Penning trap designed to provide easy radial access for atomic or laser beams in charge exchange or spectroscopic experiments, such as those of interest for proposed studies of one-electron ions in Rydberg states or optical transitions of metastable states in multiply charged ions. Under near-optimal conditions, ions captured and isolated in such rare-earth Penning traps can be characterized by an initial energy distribution that is approximate to 60 times narrower than typically found in an EBIT. This reduction in thermal energy is obtained passively, without the application of any active cooling scheme in the ion-capture trap.

TI Liquid Holdup Profiles in Structured Packing Determined via Neutron Radiography SO INDUSTRIAL & ENGINEERING CHEMISTRY RESEARCH LA English DT Article ID X-RAY TOMOGRAPHY; CONTACTORS; FLOW AB Neutron scans of an operating air water contactor were performed at the NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR). Averaged radiographs were used to determine local and average liquid holdup profiles in three stainless steel structured packings (Sulzer Mellapak 250.Y, Mellapak 500.Y, and MellpakPlus 752.Y). Experiments were conducted with liquid loads ranging from 5.4 to 48.9 m(3)/m(2).h (2.2 to 20 GPM/ft(2)) and F-factors ranging from 0.61 to 1.65 Pa-0.5 [0.5 to 1.35 (ft/s)(lb(m)/ft(3))(0.5)] in a column with an inner diameter (ID) of 14.6 cm (5.75 in.). The average holdup in Mellapak 250.Y is validated against previous X-ray computed tomography (CT) and pilot plant experiments. Local holdup profiles exhibited a strong dependency on vertical position in the column, generating a periodic profile in the bulk of all packings. The largest values for holdup were observed at the interface (joint region) between two layers of packing. The joint region in MellapakPlus 752.Y exhibited lower holdup when compared to Mellapak 500.Y. C1 [Basden, Michael; Eldridge, R.

Herein, we provide evidence that during the earliest stages of environmentally induced bleaching, heat stress and light stress generate distinctly different pathomorphological changes in the chloroplasts, while a combined heat-and light-stress exposure induces both pathomorphologies; suggesting that these stressors act on the dinoflagellate by different mechanisms. Within the first 48 hours of a heat stress (32 degrees C) under low-light conditions, heat stress induced decomposition of thylakoid structures before observation of extensive oxidative damage; thus it is the disorganization of the thylakoids that creates the conditions allowing photo-oxidative-stress. Conversely, during the first 48 hours of a light stress (2007 mmoles m(-2) s(-1) PAR) at 25 degrees C, condensation or fusion of multiple thylakoid lamellae occurred coincidently with levels of oxidative damage products, implying that photo-oxidative stress causes the structural membrane damage within the chloroplasts. Exposure to combined heat-and light-stresses induced both pathomorphologies, confirming that these stressors acted on the dinoflagellate via different mechanisms. Within 72 hours of exposure to heat and/or light stresses, homeostatic processes (e. g., heat-shock protein and anti-oxidant enzyme response) were evident in the remaining intact dinoflagellates, regardless of the initiating stressor. Understanding the sequence of events during bleaching when triggered by different environmental stressors is important for predicting both severity and consequences of coral bleaching. C1 [Downs, C.

The first frequency comparison, between a single unperturbed spectral hole and a hydrogen maser, demonstrates a fractional frequency drift rate of 5 X 10(-18) s(-1) . Optical frequency comparisons between a pattern of spectral holes, a Fabry- Perot cavity, and an Al+ optical atomic clock show a short-term fractional frequency stability of 1 X 10(-15) tau(-1/2) that averages down to 2: 5(-0.5)(+1.1) X 10(-16) at tau = 540 s (with linear frequency drift removed). Finally, spectral- hole patterns in two different Eu3+: Y2SiO5 crystals located in the same cryogenic vessel are compared, yielding a short- term stability of 7 X 10(-16) tau(-1/2) that averages down to 5.5(-0.9)(+1.8) X 10(-17)at tau = 204 s (with quadratic frequency drift removed).

TI Probabilistic Analysis Showing That a Combination of Bacteroides and Methanobrevibacter Source Tracking Markers Is Effective for Identifying Waters Contaminated by Human Fecal Pollution SO ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article ID 16S RIBOSOMAL-RNA; MICROBIAL SOURCE TRACKING; PROTEIN ESP GENE; SEWAGE POLLUTION; NIFH GENE; GEOGRAPHICAL VARIATION; TEMPORAL VARIABILITY; HOST DIFFERENCES; DAIRY-CATTLE; HUMAN FECES AB Microbial source tracking assays to identify sources of waterborne contamination typically target genetic markers of host-specific microorganisms. However, no bacterial marker has been shown to be 100% host-specific, and cross-reactivity has been noted in studies evaluating known source samples. Using 485 challenge samples from 20 different human and animal fecal sources, this study evaluated microbial source tracking markers including the Bacteroides HF183 16S rRNA, M. smithii nifH, and Enterococcus esp gene targets that have been proposed as potential indicators of human fecal contamination. Bayes' Theorem was used to calculate the conditional probability that these markers or a combination of markers can correctly identify human sources of fecal pollution. All three human-associated markers were detected in 100% of the sewage samples analyzed. Bacteroides HF183 was the most effective marker for determining whether contamination was specifically from a human source, and greater than 98% certainty that contamination was from a human source was shown when both Bacteroides HF183 and M. smithii nifH markers were present. A high degree of certainty was attained even in cases where the prior probability of human fecal contamination was as low as 8.5%. The combination of Bacteroides HF183 and M. smithii nifH source tracking markers can help identify surface waters impacted by human fecal contamination, information useful for prioritizing restoration activities or assessing health risks from exposure to contaminated waters.

TI Structure and Magnetic Properties of the alpha-NaFeO2-Type Honeycomb Compound Na3Ni2BiO6 SO INORGANIC CHEMISTRY LA English DT Article ID X-RAY-DIFFRACTION; CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE; SOLID-SOLUTION; OXIDES; ZN; MG; DELAFOSSITES; CHEMISTRY; LATTICES; SODIUM AB We present the structure and magnetic properties of Na3Ni2BiO6, which is an ordered variant of the alpha-NaFeO2 structure type. This layered compound has a 2:1 ordering of (Ni2+/Bi5+)O-6 octahedra within the a-b plane and sodium in octahedra between the layers. The structure is presented in the space group C2/m, determined through a combination of single crystal X-ray, powder neutron, and powder X-ray diffraction. Temperature dependent magnetic susceptibility measurements show Na3Ni2BiO6 to display long-range antiferromagnetic ordering below 11 K, despite the dominance of ferromagnetic interactions above T-N as indicated by a positive Weiss constant. Heat capacity measurements and low-temperature neutron diffraction support the magnetic ordering and are consistent with a T-N of 10.4 K. A magnetic phase can be refined with (010) antiferromagnetic ordering along the b-axis in the honeycomb layer and moments aligned parallel to c. The compounds Na3Mg2BiO6 and Na3Zn2BiO6, synthesized as nonmagnetic analogues of Na3Ni2BiO6, are briefly described. C1 [Seibel, Elizabeth M.; Roudebush, J. H.; Ali, Mazhar N.; Ji, Huiwen; Cava, R.

TI Characterization and in-situ monitoring of sub-stoichiometric adjustable superconducting critical temperature titanium nitride growth SO THIN SOLID FILMS LA English DT Article DE Titanium nitride; Sub-stoichiometric; Ellipsometry; Superconductors; X-ray diffraction; Sputtering ID TINX THIN-FILMS; SPECTROSCOPIC ELLIPSOMETRY; OPTICAL-PROPERTIES AB The structural and electrical properties of Ti-N films deposited by reactive sputtering depend on their growth parameters, in particular the Ar:N-2 gas ratio. We show that the nitrogen percentage changes the crystallographic phase of the film progressively from pure alpha-Ti, through an alpha-Ti phase with interstitial nitrogen, to stoichiometric Ti2N, and through a substoichiometric TiNx to stoichiometric TiN. These changes also affect the superconducting transition temperature, T-C, allowing, the superconducting properties to be tailored for specific applications. After decreasing from a T-C of 0.4 K for pure Ti down to below 50 mK at the Ti2N point, the T-C then increases rapidly up to nearly 5 K over a narrow range of nitrogen incorporation. This very sharp increase of T-C makes it difficult to control the properties of the film from wafer-to-wafer as well as across a given wafer to within acceptable margins for device fabrication. Here we show that the nitrogen composition and hence the superconductive properties are related to, and can be determined by, spectroscopic ellipsometry. Therefore, this technique may be used for process control and wafer screening prior to investing time in processing devices. Contribution of the U. S. government, not subject to copyright.

Each individual turtle was sampled under similar conditions during a blood collection period of 3 days. Hematologic analytes included packed cell volume, white blood cell (WBC) counts, WBC estimates, and leukocyte differentials. Biochemical analysis included albumin, alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, amylase, aspartate aminotransferase, blood urea nitrogen, calcium, chloride, cholesterol, creatine kinase, creatinine, gamma glutamyltransferase, globulins, glucose, phosphorous, potassium, sodium, total bilirubin, total protein, total solids, and uric acid. In due consideration of small sample size in all five age groups, the results of hematologic and biochemical analysis were used to determine ranges for these analytes and to compare values among consecutive age groups. Several significant differences in some hematologic and biochemical variables were identified and need to be considered in the interpretation of blood work of immature, growing sea turtles in human care.

TI ELECTROCARDIOGRAMS OF BOTTLENOSE DOLPHINS (TURSIOPS TRUNCATUS) OUT OF WATER: HABITUATED COLLECTION VERSUS WILD POSTCAPTURE ANIMALS SO JOURNAL OF ZOO AND WILDLIFE MEDICINE LA English DT Article DE Capture effects; dolphin; electrocardiogram; health assessment; Tursiops truncatus ID ENHYDRA-LUTRIS; CARDIOMYOPATHY; HEART AB Electrocardiography (ECG) was performed on captured free-ranging bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) during a health assessment exercise and compared with that of a Navy collection of dolphins habituated to handling out of water in order to assess possible cardiovascular impacts of capture and handling. Six-lead recordings (I, II, III, aVr, aVl, and aVf) in the frontal plane and direct thorax leads were collected from both groups, with a modified base-apex lead additionally employed with the Navy collection dolphins. Measured and calculated parameters included amplitudes of P, R, S, and T waves and total QRS complex; T:S and T:QRS ratios; heart rate; durations of P wave; QRS complex, PR, QT, and RR intervals; maximum minus minimum RR interval; ST segment elevation-depression; and mean electrical axis (MEA). Physiologically minor but statistically significant differences were detected in S wave amplitude, PR interval, QRS duration, and MEA. The PR interval, QRS duration, and S wave amplitude were slightly greater and the MEA oriented slightly rightward in wild postcapture dolphins compared to Navy collection dolphins. There were no differences in heart rate or maximum minus minimum RR interval, which serves as a proxy for the expected sinus arrhythmia of dolphins. The base-apex lead resulted in greater QRS amplitude than lead II, as expected for the category B ventricular activation of dolphins. The left-side direct thorax lead was more consistent than that of the right side. Clinically, ECG was a useful adjunct to auscultation and thoracic palpation for monitoring heart rate and rhythm and generated a record for archiving. Safe capture and handling protocols in place, under which dolphins are immediately returned to the water at progressive signs of distress, may make cardiovascular decompensation less likely to be detected by ECG. It appears that the dolphin cardiovascular system compensates suitably well to capture, as measured by ECG under the conditions of this study.

All had abundant, large vitellogenic follicles, and most were either gravid or had recently nested. Species included six loggerheads (Caretta caretta) and five green turtles (Chelonia mydas). Identified proximate causes of death included falls or entrapment by obstructions on nesting beaches, burial under collapsed dunes, and other traumatic injuries of different causes. Evidence of yolk embolization was found in 10 cases and suspected in an 11th turtle. Ten turtles also had various amounts of free intracoelomic yolk. Although the effects of yolk embolization are uncertain at this time, precedence of pathologic importance in other species suggests that embolism may complicate traumatic injuries, including seemingly minor events.

Program scientists learned that environmental controls on zooplankton vital rates, especially the timing and magnitude of reproduction, growth, life-cycle progression, and mortality, determine species population dynamics, seasonal and spatial distributions, and abundances. Improved knowledge of spatial-temporal abundance and distribution of individual zooplankton taxa coupled with new information linking higher trophic level predators (salmon, cod, haddock, penguins, seals) to their prey yielded mechanistic descriptions of how climate variation impacts regionally important marine resources. Coupled ecological models driven by improved regional-scale climate scenario models developed during GLOBEC enable forecasts of plausible future conditions in coastal ecosystems, and will aid and inform decision makers and communities as they assess, respond, and adapt to the effects of environmental change. Multi-region synthesis revealed that conditions in winter, before upwelling, or seasonal stratification, or ice melt (depending on region) had significant and important effects that primed the systems for greater zooplankton population abundance and productivity the following spring-summer, with effects that propagated to higher trophic levels.

An international team of collaborators shared observational and eddy-resolving modeling data sets collected in the Northeast Pacific, including the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) and the California Current System (CCS), the Humboldt or Peru-Chile Current System (PCCS), and the Kuroshio-Oyashio Extension (KOE) region. POBEX investigators found that a dominant fraction of decadal variability in basin- and regional-scale salinity, nutrients, chlorophyll, and zooplankton taxa is explained by a newly discovered pattern of ocean-climate variability dubbed the North Pacific Gyre Oscillation (NPGO) and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO). NPGO dynamics are driven by atmospheric variability in the North Pacific and capture the decadal expression of Central Pacific El Ninos in the extratropics, much as the PDO captures the low-frequency expression of eastern Pacific El Ninos. By combining hindcasts of eddy-resolving ocean models over the period 1950-2008 with model passive tracers and long-term observations (e.g., CalCOFI, Line-P, Newport Hydrographic Line, Odate Collection), POBEX showed that the PDO and the NPGO combine to control low-frequency upwelling and alongshore transport dynamics in the North Pacific sector, while the eastern Pacific El Nino dominates in the South Pacific. Although different climate modes have different regional expressions, changes in vertical transport (e.g., upwelling) were found to explain the dominant nutrient and phytoplankton variability in the CCS, GOA, and PCCS, while changes in alongshore transport forced much of the observed long-term change in zooplankton species composition in the KOE as well as in the northern and southern CCS. In contrast, cross-shelf transport dynamics were linked to mesoscale eddy activity, driven by regional-scale dynamics that are largely decoupled from variations associated with the large-scale climate modes. Preliminary findings suggest that mesoscale eddies play a key role in offshore transport of zooplankton and impact the life cycles of higher trophic levels (e.g., fish) in the CCS, PCCS, and GOA. Looking forward, POBEX results may guide the development of new modeling and observational strategies to establish mechanistic links among climate forcing, mesoscale circulation, and marine population dynamics.

TI Analysis of ENERGY FLOW in US GLOBEC Ecosystems Using End-to-End Models SO OCEANOGRAPHY LA English DT Article ID NORTHERN CALIFORNIA CURRENT; WEST ANTARCTIC PENINSULA; COLUMBIA RIVER PLUME; FOOD-WEB STRUCTURE; MARGUERITE BAY; OCEANOGRAPHIC CONDITIONS; MARINE ECOSYSTEMS; CONTINENTAL-SHELF; SOUTHERN-OCEAN; GEORGES-BANK AB End-to-end models were constructed to examine and compare the trophic structure and energy flow in coastal shelf ecosystems of four US Global Ocean Ecosystem Dynamics (GLOBEC) study regions: the Northern California Current, the Central Gulf of Alaska, Georges Bank, and the Southwestern Antarctic Peninsula. High-quality data collected on system components and processes over the life of the program were used as input to the models. Although the US GLOBEC program was species-centric, focused on the study of a selected set of target species of ecological or economic importance, we took a broader community-level approach to describe end-to-end energy flow, from nutrient input to fishery production. We built four end-to-end models that were structured similarly in terms of functional group composition and time scale. The models were used to identify the mid-trophic level groups that place the greatest demand on lower trophic level production while providing the greatest support to higher trophic level production. In general, euphausiids and planktivorous forage fishes were the critical energy-transfer nodes; however, some differences between ecosystems are apparent. For example, squid provide an important alternative energy pathway to forage fish, moderating the effects of changes to forage fish abundance in scenario analyses in the Central Gulf of Alaska. In the Northern California Current, large scyphozoan jellyfish are important consumers of plankton production, but can divert energy from the rest of the food web when abundant.

TI Legacy of the US GLOBEC Program Current and Potential Contributions to Marine Ecosystem-Based Management SO OCEANOGRAPHY LA English DT Article ID AGE-STRUCTURED POPULATIONS; COD GADUS-MORHUA; END-TO-END; GEORGES-BANK; PROTECTED AREAS; ATLANTIC COD; FISHERIES; RESERVES; MODELS; DYNAMICS AB Management of living marine resources is undergoing a profound transition toward a more holistic, ecosystem-based paradigm. The interplay of climate and environmental forcing, ecosystem structure and function, and human influences and requirements shape the dynamics of these systems in complex ways. The US Global Ocean Ecosystem Dynamics (GLOBEC) program was designed to unravel the elements of this complexity and to forge the tools needed to explore the scope for predictability of ecosystem change in a rapidly changing ocean. As a basic science program, US GLOBEC established new standards in ecological monitoring, technological development, and coupled bio-physical modeling of marine systems. Its legacy goes beyond these fundamental achievements, however, through the realized and potential importance of the GLOBEC approach and findings in resource management. Development of the US GLOBEC program considerably predated the formal adoption of strategies for ecosystem-based management of coastal and marine systems in the United States under the aegis of the National Ocean Policy. The GLOBEC strategy and its resulting products and tools have nonetheless proven extremely valuable in moving toward the goal of operational marine ecosystem-based management. The GLOBEC selection of target species of direct relevance to management (including economically important species and those with special conservation status) underscored the recognized need to provide results of the highest scientific caliber while also meeting broader societal needs and objectives for sustainable resource management. Here, we trace some of the current applications of GLOBEC science in resource management (including the extension of single species management strategies to incorporate climate forcing and the use of broader ecosystem models) and point to its potential to further shape the evolution of marine ecosystem-based management.

Over the past decade, there have been dramatic changes in this region in sea ice cover and in Bering Strait inflow, and it is now in the path of transpolar shipping and destinational ship traffic, including vessels supporting Arctic offshore oil and gas development and tourism, all of which are anticipated to increase with decreasing seasonal sea ice cover. Little research on cetaceans has been conducted in the southern Chukchi Sea, and most information on the occurrence of subarctic species (humpback whale Megaptera novaeangliae, fin whale Balaenoptera physalus, minke whale B. acutorostrata, and killer whale Orcinus orca) comes from the ships' logs of commercial whalers in the mid to late twentieth century and from observers stationed along the Chukotka Peninsula. Information on cetacean seasonal occurrence east of the International Date Line (IDL) in US waters is particularly scarce. To address this information gap, we compiled visual sightings and acoustic detections of subarctic cetaceans in the southern Chukchi Sea during summer and early autumn from 2009 to 2012. Humpback whales were common on both sides of the IDL in August and September. Fin and minke whales were widely distributed east of the IDL from July to September, and killer whales were seen sporadically but were the most widely dispersed of the four species. Comparisons of our results with historical records indicate that the incidence of subarctic cetaceans may be increasing in the southern Chukchi Sea. An increase in occurrence may simply be a post-commercial whaling recovery of whale numbers and seasonal range by each species, or it may reflect responses to ongoing climate change. Understanding current stock identity, spatial and temporal distribution, habitat preference, relative abundance, and potential impacts of climate change on these species will require cetacean-focused research in this region of the Arctic.

The objectives of this study were to determine if there was any population spatial structure for blood variables of Steller sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus), an established sentinel species, and to report reference ranges for appropriate populations using standardized analyses. In addition to comparing reference ranges between populations with contrasting abundance trends, data were examined for evidence of disease or nutritional stress. From 1998 to 2011, blood samples were collected from 1,231 pups captured on 37 rookeries across their Alaskan range. Reference ranges are reported separately for the western and eastern distinct population segments (DPS) of Steller sea lion after cluster analysis and discriminant function analysis (DFA) supported underlying stock structure. Variables with greater loading scores for the DFA (creatinine, total protein, calcium, albumin, cholesterol, and alkaline phosphatase) also were greater for sea lions from the endangered western DPS, supporting previous studies that indicated pup condition in the west was not compromised during the first month postpartum. Differences between population segments were likely a result of ecological, physiological, or age related differences.

TI INFLUENCE OF TEMPERATURE AND SALINITY ON GROWTH, SURVIVAL, AND BIOMASS PRODUCTIVITY OF POSTLARVAL AND EARLY JUVENILE PINK SHRIMP FARFANTEPENAEUS DUORARUM (BURKENROAD 1939) SO JOURNAL OF SHELLFISH RESEARCH LA English DT Article DE shrimp; Florida Bay; penaeid; exponential growth rate; temperature coefficient; Q(10); hypersaline; Farfantepenaeus duorarum ID FLORIDA BAY; PENAEUS-DUORARUM; OXYGEN-CONSUMPTION; SEAGRASS COMMUNITIES; NOTIALIS POSTLARVAE; AMMONIA EXCRETION; TORTUGAS GROUNDS; DISSOLVED-OXYGEN; PROTEIN LEVEL; WHITE SHRIMP AB An investigation was conducted of the combined effect of salinity and temperature on growth, survival, and biomass productivity of postlarval and early juvenile pink shrimp Farfantepenaeus duorarum (Burkenroad 1939) produced from a single spawning event. The study used a factorial block design consisting of three salinity treatments (15, 35, and 55), each replicated, within three temperature treatment (22 degrees C, 27 degrees C, and 32 degrees C) water baths. The study was divided into two phases: postlarval (first 28 days) and early juvenile (second 28 days). Growth was assessed every 7 days throughout the experiment by measuring carapace length (CL) and wet weight (WWT) of 15 randomly selected shrimp from each temperature/salinity replicate tank. After the first study phase, survival was assessed and experimental aquaria were reset with 30 randomly selected shrimp from the same temperature-salinity replicates. Survival was assessed again at the end of the early juvenile phase. The effect of treatments was evaluated by average growth (average final WWT), survival, and average final biomass production. Exponential growth rates (CL and WWT) and temperature physiological coefficients (Q(10)) were also computed. Effects of temperature and salinity on growth and survival were variable, and no significant interaction among the treatment factors was observed. Biomass production increased consistently with temperature (postlarval, P < 0.0001; early juvenile, P < 0.0001) and decreased at the highest salinity (55; postlarval, P = 0.0140; early juvenile, P < 0.0001). Significant reductions in all performance outcomes except postlarval growth (P > 0.05) were observed at the high salinity of 55. The response of growth to salinity was not significant until the early juvenile treatment phase, whereas the effect of temperature on growth was significant during both phases. Hypersalinity (salinity, 55) had a detrimental effect on performance outcomes; however, performance outcomes at salinities of 15 and 35 were comparable. These results have implications for the natural productivity of pink shrimp in Florida Bay, where conditions are often hypersaline.

TI Uncertainty of temperature measurements by infrared thermography for metal cutting applications SO METROLOGIA LA English DT Article ID RADIATION THERMOMETRY; INTERPOLATION EQUATIONS; CALIBRATION; HEAT AB This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the uncertainty in the measurement of the peak temperature on the side face of a cutting tool, during the metal cutting process, by infrared thermography. The analysis considers the use of a commercial off-the-shelf camera and optics, typical of what is used in metal cutting research. A physics-based temperature measurement equation is considered and an analytical method is used to propagate the uncertainties associated with measurement variables to determine the overall temperature measurement uncertainty. A Monte Carlo simulation is used to expand on the analytical method by incorporating additional sources of uncertainty such as a point spread function (PSF) of the optics, difference in emissivity of the chip and tool, and motion blur. Further discussion is provided regarding the effect of sub-scenel averaging and magnification on the measured temperature values. It is shown that a typical maximum cutting tool temperature measurement results in an expanded uncertainty of U = 50.1 degrees C (k = 2). The most significant contributors to this uncertainty are found to be uncertainties in cutting tool emissivity and PSF of the imaging system.

TI Particle size distributions by transmission electron microscopy: an interlaboratory comparison case study SO METROLOGIA LA English DT Article AB This paper reports an interlaboratory comparison that evaluated a protocol for measuring and analysing the particle size distribution of discrete, metallic, spheroidal nanoparticles using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The study was focused on automated image capture and automated particle analysis. NIST RM8012 gold nanoparticles (30 nm nominal diameter) were measured for area-equivalent diameter distributions by eight laboratories. Statistical analysis was used to (1) assess the data quality without using size distribution reference models, (2) determine reference model parameters for different size distribution reference models and non-linear regression fitting methods and (3) assess the measurement uncertainty of a size distribution parameter by using its coefficient of variation. The interlaboratory area-equivalent diameter mean, 27.6 nm +/- 2.4 nm (computed based on a normal distribution), was quite similar to the area-equivalent diameter, 27.6 nm, assigned to NIST RM8012. The lognormal reference model was the preferred choice for these particle size distributions as, for all laboratories, its parameters had lower relative standard errors (RSEs) than the other size distribution reference models tested (normal, Weibull and Rosin-Rammler-Bennett). The RSEs for the fitted standard deviations were two orders of magnitude higher than those for the fitted means, suggesting that most of the parameter estimate errors were associated with estimating the breadth of the distributions. The coefficients of variation for the interlaboratory statistics also confirmed the lognormal reference model as the preferred choice. From quasi-linear plots, the typical range for good fits between the model and cumulative number-based distributions was 1.9 fitted standard deviations less than the mean to 2.3 fitted standard deviations above the mean. Automated image capture, automated particle analysis and statistical evaluation of the data and fitting coefficients provide a framework for assessing nanoparticle size distributions using TEM for image acquisition.

TI Evaluating sustainability of fisheries bycatch mortality for marine megafauna: a review of conservation reference points for data-limited populations SO ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION LA English DT Review DE bycatch; management strategy evaluation; marine megafauna; reference points; risk; uncertainty ID MANAGEMENT STRATEGY EVALUATION; SEA-TURTLE; INCORPORATING UNCERTAINTY; DENSITY-DEPENDENCE; FISHING MORTALITY; RISK-ASSESSMENT; LIFE-HISTORY; SHARK POPULATIONS; LONGLINE FISHERY; TRAWL FISHERY AB Fisheries bycatch threatens populations of marine megafaunasuch as marinemammals, turtles, seabirds, sharks and rays, but fisheries impacts on nontarget populations are often difficult to assess due to factors such as data limitation, poorly defined management objectives and lack of quantitative bycatch reduction targets. Limit reference points can be used to address these issues and thereby facilitate adoption and implementation of mitigation efforts. Reference points based on catch data and life history analysis can identify sustainability limits for bycatch with respect to defined population goals even when data are quite limited. This can expedite assessments for large numbers of species and enable prioritization of management actions based on mitigation urgency and efficacy. This paper reviews limit reference point estimators for marine megafauna bycatch, with the aim of highlighting their utility in fisheries management and promoting best practices for use. Different estimators share a common basic structure that can be flexibly applied to different contexts depending on species life history and available data types. Information on demographic vital rates and abundance is required; of these, abundance is the most data-dependent and thus most limiting factor for application. There are different approaches for handling management risk stemming from uncertainty in reference point and bycatch estimates. Risk tolerance can be incorporated explicitly into the reference point estimator itself, or probability distributions may be used to describe uncertainties in bycatch and reference point estimates, and risk tolerance may guide how those are factored into the management process. Either approach requires simulation-based performance testing such as management strategy evaluation to ensure that management objectives can be achieved. Factoring potential sources of bias into such evaluations is critical. This paper reviews the technical, operational, and political challenges to widespread application of reference points formanagement of marine megafauna bycatch, while emphasizing the importance of developing assessment frameworks that can facilitate sustainable fishing practices.

TI Impacts of depleting forage species in the California Current SO ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION LA English DT Article DE ecosystem modelling; euphausiids; food web; forage fish; lower trophic level species; sardine ID SOUTHERN BENGUELA ECOSYSTEM; MARINE ECOSYSTEMS; EL-NINO; FISH; MANAGEMENT; FISHERIES; PREY; SARDINE; MODEL; FOOD AB Human demands for food and fish meal are often in direct competition with forage needs of marine mammals, birds and piscivorous harvested fish. Here, two well-developed ecosystem models for the California Current on the West Coast of the USA were used to test the impacts on other parts of the ecosystem of harvesting euphausiids, forage fish, mackerel and mesopelagic fish such as myctophids. Depleting individual forage groups to levels that led to maximum sustainable yield of those groups may have both positive and negative effects on other species in the California Current. The most common impacts were on predators of forage groups, some of which showed declines of >20% under the scenarios that involved depletion of forage groups to 40% of unfished levels. Depletion of euphausiids and forage fish, which each comprise >10% of system biomass, had the largest impact on other species. Depleting euphausiids to 40% of unfished levels altered the abundance of 13-30% of the other functional groups by >20%; while depleting forage fish to 40% altered the abundance of 20-50% of the other functional groups by >20%. There are clear trade-offs between the harvest of forage groups and the ability of the California Current to sustain other trophic levels. Though higher trophic level species, such as groundfish, are often managed on the basis of reference points that can reduce biomass to below half of unfished levels, this level of forage species removal is likely to impact the abundance of other target species, protected species and the structure of the ecosystem.

This paper describes the CGILS results from 15 SCMs and 8 LES models. Three cloud regimes over the subtropical oceans are studied: shallow cumulus, cumulus under stratocumulus, and well-mixed coastal stratus/stratocumulus. In the stratocumulus and coastal stratus regimes, SCMs without activated shallow convection generally simulated negative cloud feedbacks, while models with active shallow convection generally simulated positive cloud feedbacks. In the shallow cumulus alone regime, this relationship is less clear, likely due to the changes in cloud depth, lateral mixing, and precipitation or a combination of them. The majority of LES models simulated negative cloud feedback in the well-mixed coastal stratus/stratocumulus regime, and positive feedback in the shallow cumulus and stratocumulus regime. A general framework is provided to interpret SCM results: in a warmer climate, the moistening rate of the cloudy layer associated with the surface-based turbulence parameterization is enhanced; together with weaker large-scale subsidence, it causes negative cloud feedback. In contrast, in the warmer climate, the drying rate associated with the shallow convection scheme is enhanced. This causes positive cloud feedback. These mechanisms are summarized as the "NESTS" negative cloud feedback and the "SCOPE" positive cloud feedback (Negative feedback from Surface Turbulence under weaker Subsidence-Shallow Convection PositivE feedback) with the net cloud feedback depending on how the two opposing effects counteract each other. The LES results are consistent with these interpretations.

TI Trend Analysis with a New Global Record of Tropical Cyclone Intensity SO JOURNAL OF CLIMATE LA English DT Article ID NORTH-ATLANTIC OCEAN; HURRICANE INTENSITY; AIRCRAFT RECONNAISSANCE; OBJECTIVE SCHEME; DVORAK TECHNIQUE; CLIMATE-CHANGE; AFRICAN DUST; BLACK CARBON; AEROSOLS; VARIABILITY AB The historical global "best track" records of tropical cyclones extend back to the mid-nineteenth century in some regions, but formal analysis of these records is encumbered by temporal heterogeneities in the data. This is particularly problematic when attempting to detect trends in tropical cyclone metrics that may be attributable to climate change. Here the authors apply a state-of-the-art automated algorithm to a globally homogenized satellite data record to create a more temporally consistent record of tropical cyclone intensity within the period 1982-2009, and utilize this record to investigate the robustness of trends found in the best-track data. In particular, the lifetime maximum intensity (LMI) achieved by each reported storm is calculated and the frequency distribution of LMI is tested for changes over this period. To address the unique issues in regions around the Indian Ocean, which result from a discontinuity introduced into the satellite data in 1998, a direct homogenization procedure is applied in which post-1998 data are degraded to pre-1998 standards. This additional homogenization step is found to measurably reduce LMI trends, but the global trends in the LMI of the strongest storms remain positive, with amplitudes of around +1 m s(-1) decade(-1) and p value = 0.1. Regional trends, in ms(-1) decade(-1), vary from -2 (p = 0.03) in the western North Pacific, +1.7 (p 5 0.06) in the south Indian Ocean, +2.5 (p = 0.09) in the South Pacific, to +8 (p < 0.001) in the North Atlantic.

Zhang, Shaodong TI Trends in Planetary Boundary Layer Height over Europe SO JOURNAL OF CLIMATE LA English DT Article AB Estimates of trends in planetary boundary layer height over Europe are presented, based on daily radiosonde observations at 25 stations during 1973-2010 and using a bulk Richardson number approach to determine heights. Most stations show statistically significant increases in daytime heights in all four seasons, but fewer show statistically significant trends in nighttime heights. Daytime height variations show an expected strong negative correlation with surface relative humidity and strong positive correlation with surface temperature at most stations studied, on both year-to-year and day-to-day time scales. Similar relations hold for long-term trends: increasing daytime boundary layer height is associated with decreasing surface relative humidity and increasing surface temperature at most stations. The extent to which these changes are regionally representative or local reflections of environmental changes near the observing stations is difficult to ascertain.

The high temporal and spatial continuity of the ship data, as well as the 31-day sample size, allows the diurnal transition in degree of coupling of the stratocumulus-topped boundary layer to be resolved. The amplitude of diurnal variation was comparable to the magnitude of longitudinal differences between regions east and west of 80 degrees W for most of the cloud, surface, and precipitation variables examined. The diurnal cycle of precipitation is examined in terms of areal coverage, number of drizzle cells, and estimated rain rate. East of 80 degrees W, the drizzle cell frequency and drizzle area peaks just prior to sunrise. West of 80 degrees W, total drizzle area peaks at 0300 local solar time (LST), 2-3 h before sunrise. Peak drizzle cell frequency is 3 times higher west of 80 degrees W compared to east of 80 degrees W. The waning of drizzle several hours prior to the ramp up of shortwave fluxes may be related to the higher peak drizzle frequencies in the west. The ensemble effect of localized subcloud evaporation of precipitation may make drizzle a self-limiting process where the areal density of drizzle cells is sufficiently high. The daytime reduction in vertical velocity variance in a less coupled boundary layer is accompanied by enhanced stratification of potential temperature and a buildup of moisture near the surface.

TI Theory and Observations of Controls on Lightning Flash Size Spectra SO JOURNAL OF THE ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES LA English DT Article ID SEVERE THUNDERSTORM ELECTRIFICATION; MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEM; PHYSICAL PROCESSES; SUPERCELL STORM; MULTICELL STORM; CHARGE; STEPS; RADAR; LOCATION; MODELS AB Previous analyses of very high frequency (VHF) Lightning Mapping Array (LMA) observations relative to the location of deep convective updrafts have noted a systematic pattern in flash characteristics. In and near strong updrafts, flashes tend to be smaller and more frequent, while flashes far from strong vertical drafts exhibit the opposite tendency. This study quantitatively tests these past anecdotal observations using LMA data for two supercell storms that occurred in Oklahoma in 2004. The data support a prediction from electrostatics that frequent breakdown and large flash extents are opposed. An energetic scaling that combines flash rate and flash area exhibits a 5/3 power-law scaling regime on scales of a few kilometers and a maximum in flash energy at about 10 km. The spectral shape is surprisingly consistent across a range of moderate to large flash rates. The shape of this lightning flash energy spectrum is similar to that expected of turbulent kinetic energy spectra in thunderstorms. In line with the hypothesized role of convective motions as the generator of thunderstorm electrical energy, the correspondence between kinematic and electrical energy spectra suggests that advection of charge-bearing precipitation by the storm's flow, including in turbulent eddies, couples the electrical and kinematic properties of a thunderstorm.

TI Zebrafish as a model for Vibrio parahaemolyticus virulence SO MICROBIOLOGY-SGM LA English DT Article ID MANNOSE-SENSITIVE HEMAGGLUTININ; THERMOSTABLE DIRECT HEMOLYSIN; EL-TOR; BIOFILM FORMATION; GENE-EXPRESSION; UNITED-STATES; CHOLERAE; INFECTION; PATHOGENESIS; STRAINS AB Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a Gram-negative, naturally occurring marine bacterium. Subpopulations of strains belonging to this species cause an acute self-limiting gastroenteritis in humans and, less commonly, wound infections. In vivo models to differentiate avirulent and virulent strains and evaluate the pathogenic potential of strains of this species have been largely focused on the presence of known virulence factors such as the thermostable direct haemolysin (TDH), the TDH-related haemolysin (TRH) or the contributions of the type 3 secretion systems. However, virulence is likely to be multifactorial, and additional, yet to be identified factors probably contribute to virulence in this bacterium. In this study, we investigated an adult zebrafish model to assess the overall virulence of V. parahaemolyticus strains. The model could detect differences in the virulence potential of strains when animals were challenged intraperitoneally, based on survival time. Differences in survival were noted irrespective of the source of isolation of the strain (environmental or clinical) and regardless of the presence or absence of the known virulence factors TDH and TRH, suggesting the influence of additional virulence factors. The model was also effective in comparing differences in virulence between the wild-type V. parahaemolyticus strain RIMD2210633 and isogenic pilin mutants Delta pilA and Delta mshA, a double mutant Delta pilA: Delta mshA, as well as a putative chitin-binding protein mutant, Delta gbpA.
