TI Magnetic dilution and domain selection in the XY pyrochlore antiferromagnet Er2Ti2O7 SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID SPIN ICE; TB2TI2O7; OXIDES AB Below T-N = 1.1 K, the XY pyrochlore Er2Ti2O7 orders into a k = 0 noncollinear, antiferromagnetic structure referred to as the psi(2) state. The magnetic order in Er2Ti2O7 is known to obey conventional three-dimensional (3D) percolation in the presence of magnetic dilution, and in that sense is robust to disorder. Recently, however, two theoretical studies have predicted that the psi(2) structure should be unstable to the formation of a related psi(3) magnetic structure in the presence of magnetic vacancies. To investigate these theories, we have carried out systematic elastic and inelastic neutron scattering studies of three single crystals of Er2-xYxTi2O7 with x = 0 (pure), 0.2 (10% Y) and 0.4 (20% Y), where magnetic Er3+ is substituted by nonmagnetic Y3+. We find that the psi(2) ground state of pure Er2Ti2O7 is significantly affected by magnetic dilution. The characteristic domain selection associated with the psi(2) state, and the corresponding energy gap separating psi(2) from psi(3), vanish for Y3+ substitutions between 10% Y and 20% Y, far removed from the three-dimensional percolation threshold of similar to 60% Y. The resulting ground state for Er2Ti2O7 with magnetic dilutions from 20% Y up to the percolation threshold is naturally interpreted as a frozen mosaic of psi(2) and psi(3) domains.

Our computational framework, which employs a real-space basis for ground-state and a transition-space basis for excited-state calculations, is well suited for high-accuracy calculations on molecules, as we show by comparing against G(0)W(0) calculations within a plane-wave-basis formalism. We then generalize our framework to test variants of the GW approximation that include a local density approximation (LDA)-derived vertex function (Gamma(LDA)) and quasiparticle-self-consistent (QS) iterations. We find that Gamma(LDA) and quasiparticle self-consistency shift IPs and EAs by roughly the same magnitude, but with opposite sign for IPs and the same sign for EAs. G(0)W(0) and QSGW Gamma(LDA) are more accurate for IPs, while G(0)W(0)Gamma(LDA) and QSGW are best for EAs. For optical excitations, we find that perturbative GW-BSE underestimates the singlet excitation energy, while self-consistent GW-BSE results in good agreement with previous best-estimate values for both valence and Rydberg excitations. Finally, our work suggests that a hybrid approach, in which G0W0 energies are used for occupied orbitals and G(0)W(0)Gamma(LDA) for unoccupied orbitals, also yields optical excitation energies in good agreement with experiment but at a smaller computational cost.

TI Silicon epitaxy epitaxy on H-terminated Si (100) surfaces at 250 degrees C SO APPLIED SURFACE SCIENCE LA English DT Article DE Low temperature Si epitaxy; Scanning tunneling microscope; H terminated Si surfaces ID MOLECULAR-BEAM EPITAXY; SCANNING-TUNNELING-MICROSCOPY; QUANTUM COMPUTER; SI(001) HOMOEPITAXY; OHMS LAW; GROWTH; TEMPERATURE; DIFFUSION; ENCAPSULATION; FABRICATION AB Low temperature Si epitaxy has become increasingly important due to its critical role in the encapsulation and performance of buried nanoscale dopant devices. We demonstrate epitaxial growth up to nominally 25 nm, at 250 degrees C, with analysis at successive growth steps using STM and cross section TEM to reveal the nature and quality of the epitaxial growth. STM images indicate that growth morphology of both Si on Si and Si on H-terminated Si (H: Si) is epitaxial in nature at temperatures as low as 250 degrees C. For Si on Si growth at 250 degrees C, we show that the Si epitaxial growth front maintains a constant morphology after reaching a specific thickness threshold. Although the in-plane mobility of silicon is affected on the H: Si surface due to the presence of H atoms during initial sub-monolayer growth, STM images reveal long range order and demonstrate that growth proceeds by epitaxial island growth albeit with noticeable surface roughening.

CO measurements made during aircraft ascent and descent, comprising nearly 41 200 profiles at 148 airports worldwide from December 2001 to December 2012, are used. Forward and backward trajectories are calculated from meteorological reanalysis data in order to map the CO measurements to other locations and so to fill in the spatial domain. This domain-filling technique employs 15 800 000 calculated trajectories to map otherwise sparse MOZAIC-IAGOS data into a quasi-global field. The resulting trajectory-mapped CO data set is archived monthly from 2001 to 2012 on a grid of 5 degrees longitude x 5 degrees latitude x 1 km altitude, from the surface to 14 km altitude. The mapping product has been carefully evaluated, firstly by comparing maps constructed using only forward trajectories and using only backward trajectories. The two methods show similar global CO distribution patterns. The magnitude of their differences is most commonly 10% or less and found to be less than 30% for almost all cases. Secondly, the method has been validated by comparing profiles for individual airports with those produced by the mapping method when data from that site are excluded. While there are larger differences below 2 km, the two methods agree very well between 2 and 10 km with the magnitude of biases within 20 %. Finally, the mapping product is compared with global MOZAIC-IAGOS cruise-level data, which were not included in the trajectory-mapped data set, and with independent data from the NOAA aircraft flask sampling program. The trajectory-mapped MOZAIC-IAGOS CO values show generally good agreement with both independent data sets. Maps are also compared with version 6 data from the Measurements Of Pollution In The Troposphere (MOPITT) satellite instrument. Both data sets clearly show major regional CO sources such as biomass burning in Central and southern Africa and anthropogenic emissions in eastern China. While the maps show similar features and patterns, and relative biases are small in the lowermost troposphere, we find differences of similar to 20% in CO volume mixing ratios between 500 and 300 hPa. These upper-tropospheric biases are not related to the mapping procedure, as almost identical differences are found with the original in situ MOZAIC-IAGOS data. The total CO trajectory-mapped MOZAIC-IAGOS column is also higher than the MOPITT CO total column by 12-16 %. The data set shows the seasonal CO cycle over different latitude bands and altitude ranges as well as long-term trends over different latitude bands. We observe a decline in CO over the northern hemispheric extratropics and the tropics consistent with that reported by previous studies using other data sources. We anticipate use of the trajectory-mapped MOZAIC-IAGOS CO data set as an a priori climatology for satellite retrieval and for air quality model validation and initialization.

We use a high-rate source of heralded singlephoton path-entangled states, combinedwith high-efficiency superconducting-based detectors, in a scheme that is free of any postselection and thus immune to the detection loophole. This result conclusively demonstrates single-photon entanglement in a one-sided device-independent scenario, and opens the way towards implementations of device-independent quantum technologies within the paradigm of path entanglement.

Notwithstanding, when information is encoded in a quantum system, the phenomenon of quantum data locking allows one to encrypt a message with a shorter key and still provide information-theoretic security. We present one of the first feasible experimental demonstrations of quantum data locking for direct communication and propose a scheme for a quantum enigma machine that encrypts 6 bits per photon (containing messages, new encryption keys, and forward error correction bits) with less than 6 bits per photon of encryption key while remaining information-theoretically secure.

TI Eye lens radiocarbon reveals centuries of longevity in the Greenland shark (Somniosus microcephalus) SO SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID POST-BOMB RADIOCARBON; FEEDING ECOLOGY; NORTHWEST ATLANTIC; AGE VALIDATION; LAMNA-NASUS; PRE-BOMB; FOOD-WEB; CALIBRATION; OTOLITHS; DELTA-N-15 AB The Greenland shark (Somniosus microcephalus), an iconic species of the Arctic Seas, grows slowly and reaches >500 centimeters (cm) in total length, suggesting a life span well beyond those of other vertebrates. Radiocarbon dating of eye lens nuclei from 28 female Greenland sharks (81 to 502 cm in total length) revealed a life span of at least 272 years. Only the smallest sharks (220 cm or less) showed signs of the radiocarbon bomb pulse, a time marker of the early 1960s. The age ranges of prebomb sharks (reported as midpoint and extent of the 95.4% probability range) revealed the age at sexual maturity to be at least 156 +/- 22 years, and the largest animal (502 cm) to be 392 +/- 120 years old. Our results show that the Greenland shark is the longest-lived vertebrate known, and they raise concerns about species conservation.

This expansion may be related to the poleward shift of the Hadley cell edges, where subsidence stabilizes the atmosphere and suppresses precipitation. Understanding the primary drivers of tropical expansion is hampered by the myriad forcing agents in most model projections of future climate. While many previous studies have examined the response of idealized models to simplified climate forcings and the response of comprehensive climate models to more complex climate forcings, few have examined how comprehensive climate models respond to simplified climate forcings. To shed light on robust processes associated with tropical expansion, here we examine how the tropical belt width, as measured by the Hadley cell edges, responds to simplified forcings in the Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project (GeoMIP). The tropical belt expands in response to a quadrupling of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and contracts in response to a reduction in the solar constant, with a range of a factor of 3 in the response among nine models. Models with more surface warming and an overall stronger temperature response to quadrupled carbon dioxide exhibit greater tropical expansion, a robust result in spite of inter-model differences in the mean Hadley cell width, parameterizations, and numerical schemes. Under a scenario where the solar constant is reduced to offset an instantaneous quadrupling of carbon dioxide, the Hadley cells remain at their preindustrial width, despite the residual stratospheric cooling associated with elevated carbon dioxide levels. Quadrupled carbon dioxide produces greater tropical belt expansion in the Southern Hemisphere than in the Northern Hemisphere. This expansion is strongest in austral summer and autumn. Ozone depletion has been argued to cause this pattern of changes in observations and model experiments, but the results here indicate that seasonally and hemispherically asymmetric tropical expansion can be a basic response of the general circulation to climate forcings.

Ecological models can be forced with scenarios of OA to help scientists, managers, and other stakeholders understand how ecosystems might change. We present a novel methodology for developing estimates of species sensitivity to OA that are regionally specific, and applied the method to the California Current ecosystem. To do so, we built a database of all published literature on the sensitivity of temperate species to decreased pH. This database contains 393 papers on 285 species and 89 multi-species groups from temperate waters around the world. Research on urchins and oysters and on adult life stages dominates the literature. Almost a third of the temperate species studied to date occur in the California Current. However, most laboratory experiments use control pH conditions that are too high to represent average current chemistry conditions in the portion of the California Current water column where the majority of the species live. We developed estimates of sensitivity to OA for functional groups in the ecosystem, which can represent single species or taxonomically diverse groups of hundreds of species. We based these estimates on the amount of available evidence derived from published studies on species sensitivity, how well this evidence could inform species sensitivity in the California Current ecosystem, and the agreement of the available evidence for a species/species group. This approach is similar to that taken by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to characterize certainty when summarizing scientific findings. Most functional groups (26 of 34) responded negatively to OA conditions, but when uncertainty in sensitivity was considered, only 11 groups had relationships that were consistently negative. Thus, incorporating certainty about the sensitivity of species and functional groups to OA is an important part of developing robust scenarios for ecosystem projections. C1 [Busch, D.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease that results in chronic infections of the lungs. CF patients experience intermittent pulmonary exacerbations (CFPE) that are associated with poor clinical outcomes. CFPE involves an increase in disease symptoms requiring more aggressive therapy. Methods. Longitudinal sputum samples were collected from 11 patients (n = 44 samples) to assess the effect of exacerbations on the sputum metabolome using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The data was analyzed with MS/MS molecular networking and multivariate statistics. Results. The individual patient source had a larger influence on the metabolome of sputum than the clinical state (exacerbation, treatment, post-treatment, or stable). Of the 4,369 metabolites detected, 12% were unique to CFPE samples; however, the only known metabolites significantly elevated at exacerbation across the dataset were platelet activating factor (PAF) and a related monacylglycerophosphocholine lipid. Due to the personalized nature of the sputum metabolome, a single patient was followed for 4.2 years (capturing four separate exacerbation events) as a case study for the detection of personalized biomarkers with metabolomics. PAF and related lipids were significantly elevated during CFPEs of this patient and ceramide was elevated during CFPE treatment. Correlating the abundance of bacterial 16S rRNA gene amplicons to metabolomics data from the same samples during a CFPE demonstrated that antibiotics were positively correlated to Stenotrophomonas and Pseudomonas, while ceramides and other lipids were correlated with Streptococcus, Rothia, and anaerobes. Conclusions. This study identified PAF and other inflammatory lipids as potential biomarkers of CFPE, but overall, the metabolome of CF sputum was patient specific, supporting a personalized approach to molecular detection of CFPE onset.

The thermometry shows that the temperature of the nonvolatile conducting filament can reach temperatures as high as 1600 K at the onset of RESET at voltage of 0.8 V and power of 40 mu W. The size of the filament was estimated at about 1 mn in diameter. Hot filament increases the temperature of the surrounding high resistivity oxide, causing it to conduct and carry a significant fraction of the total current. The current spreading results in slowing down the filament temperature increase at higher power. The results of thermometry have been corroborated by HRTEM analysis of the as-fabricated and switched RRAM devices. The functional HfAlOx layer in as-fabricated devices is amorphous. In devices that were switched, we detected a small crystalline region of 10-15 nm in size. The crystallization temperature of the HfAlOx was determined to be 850 K in an independent annealing experiment. The size of the crystalline region agrees with thermal modeling based on the thermometry data. Scanning transmission electron microscopy (TEM) coordinated with electron energy loss spectroscopy could not detect changes in the chemical makeup of the filament.

The transmitter is based on an actively stabilized, continuous-wave, single-frequency external-cavity diode laser (ECDL) operating from 1.60 to 1.65 mu m. The fixed frequency output of the ECDL is microwave sideband tuned using an electro-optical phase modulator driven by an arbitrary waveform generator and filtered using a confocal cavity to generate a sequence of 123 frequencies separated by 300 MHz. The scan sequence of single sideband frequencies of 600 ns duration covers a 37 GHz region at a spectral scan rate of 10 kHz (100 mu s per scan). Simultaneously, an eye-safe backscatter LIDAR system at 1.064 mu m is used to monitor the atmospheric boundary layer. IPDA LIDAR measurements of the CO2 and CH4 dry air mixing ratios are presented in comparison with those from a commercial cavity ringdown (CRD) instrument. Differences between the IPDA LIDAR and CRD concentrations in several cases appear to be well correlated with the atmospheric aerosol structure from the backscatter LIDAR measurements. IPDA LIDAR dry air mixing ratios of CO2 and CH4 are determined with fit uncertainties of 2.8 mu mol/mol (ppm) for CO2 and 22 nmol/mol (ppb) for CH4 over 30 s measurement periods. For longer averaging times (up to 1200 s), improvements in these detection limits by up to 3-fold are estimated from Allan variance analyses. Two sources of systematic error are identified and methods to remove them are discussed, including speckle interference from wavelength decorrelation and the seed power dependence of amplified spontaneous emission. Accuracies in the dry air retrievals of CO2 and CH4 in a 30 s measurement period are estimated at 4 mu mol/mol (1% of ambient levels) and 50 nmol/ mol (3%), respectively.

TI Optical reflectance of pyrheliometer absorption cavities: progress toward SI-traceable measurements of solar irradiance SO APPLIED OPTICS LA English DT Article ID DIFFUSE-REFLECTANCE; RADIANCE FACTOR AB We have accurately determined the absorptance of three pyrheliometer cavities at 532 nm by measuring the residual reflectance using an angle-resolved bidirectional reflectometer. Measurements were performed at a normal incidence as a function of the viewing angle and position on the cavity cone. By numerically integrating the measured angle-resolved scatter over both the direction and position and accounting for an obstructed view of the cavity, we determined that the effective cavity reflectance was between 8 x 10(-4) and 9 x 10(-4). Thus, the absorptance of the three cavities ranged from 0.99909 +/- 0.00014 to 0.99922 +/- 0.00012 (k = 2 combined expanded uncertainties). These measurements, when extended over the spectral range of operation of the pyrheliometer, are required to establish SI traceability for absolute solar irradiance measurements.

Little to no sequence differences exist among independently collected samples identified as Boreohydra simplex and Plotocnide borealis, showing that the two different forms represent a single species that is henceforth known by the older name Plotocnide borealis Wagner, 1885. The polyp form has been observed to produce bulges previously hypothesized to be gonophores, and the results here are consistent with that view. Interestingly, the polyp has also been reported to produce egg cells in the epiderm, a surprising phenomenon that we document here for only the second time. Thus, P. borealis produces eggs in two different life stages, polyp and medusa. This is the first documented case of a metagenetic medusozoan species being able to produce gametes in both the medusa and polyp stage. It remains unclear what environmental/ecological conditions modulate the production of eggs and/or medusa buds in the polyp stage. Similarly, sperm production, fertilization and development are unknown, warranting further studies.

Under nonstatic conditions, only limited information concerning water uptake and contaminant release properties of nanocomposite materials is currently available. Polyester composites containing GF and oxidized CNF were immersed in water for 30 days under nominal pressure at 23 degrees C, below the polymer's glass-transition temperature. Water was analyzed and changed every three days to simulate water chemistry regeneration similar to exposures in flowing systems. Composites with oxidized CNF had greater water sorption capacity and leaching rates than CNF-free composites. The total mass of organic contaminant released correlated with the amount of water sorbed by each composite (r(2)=0.91), although CNF dispersion was found to vary greatly within composites. The greatest and least contaminant release rates were found for the polyester-CNF and the polyester-GF composites, respectively. While volatile aromatic resin solvents and stabilizer compounds were detected, their concentrations declined over the 30 day exposure period. We hypothesize that the hydrophilic nature of the oxidized CNF increased the water sorption capacity of the polyester composites. Additional studies are warranted that examine the impact of this phenomenon on composite mechanical and long-term durability properties. (c) 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

TI A Doppler Radar and Conceptual Analysis of a Horizontal Longitudinal Vortex Influencing the Bastrop Complex Wildfire SO JOURNAL OF OPERATIONAL METEOROLOGY LA English DT Article ID PLANETARY BOUNDARY-LAYER; CONVECTIVE ROLLS; VORTICES AB The Bastrop Complex wildfire (BCW) occurred during the record-breaking Texas drought of 2011. Although the 139.03 km(-2) (34 356 ac) fire burned an area much smaller than the state's largest wildfires, it was the largest wildland fire on record in central Texas, and the resultant property losses were unprecedented in Texas history. The BCW is of meteorological interest because of its simultaneous occurrence and interaction with a transient ambient horizontal longitudinal vortex (HLV). This study presents a conceptual review of HLVs from the perspectives of both meteorology and fire behavior. A thorough Doppler radar analysis of the BCW and its interaction with a transient pre-existing HLV is provided through observations of the remotely sensed debris plume. A basic conceptual model for the phasing of a wildland fire's circulation with an ambient HLV is presented, underscoring the advantages of using Doppler radar to diagnose near-fire environments for tactical firefighting applications.

TI Toward autonomous surface-based infrared remote sensing of polar clouds: cloud-height retrievals SO ATMOSPHERIC MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES LA English DT Article ID RADIATIVE-TRANSFER; SOUTH-POLE; PART I; ALTITUDE; EMISSIVITY; REANALYSES; ATMOSPHERE; SCATTERING; SYSTEM; FLUXES AB Polar regions are characterized by their remoteness, making measurements challenging, but an improved knowledge of clouds and radiation is necessary to understand polar climate change. Infrared radiance spectrometers can operate continuously from the surface and have low power requirements relative to active sensors. Here we explore the feasibility of retrieving cloud height with an infrared spectrometer that would be designed for use in remote polar locations. Using a wide variety of simulated spectra of mixed-phase polar clouds at varying instrument resolutions, retrieval accuracy is explored using the CO2 slicing/sorting and the minimum local emissivity variance (MLEV) methods. In the absence of imposed errors and for clouds with optical depths greater than similar to aEuro-0.3, cloud-height retrievals from simulated spectra using CO2 slicing/sorting and MLEV are found to have roughly equivalent high accuracies: at an instrument resolution of 0.5aEuro-cm(-1), mean biases are found to be similar to aEuro-0.2aEuro-km for clouds with bases below 2 and -0.2aEuro-km for higher clouds. Accuracy is found to decrease with coarsening resolution and become worse overall for MLEV than for CO2 slicing/sorting; however, the two methods have differing sensitivity to different sources of error, suggesting an approach that combines them. For expected errors in the atmospheric state as well as both instrument noise and bias of 0.2aEuro-mW/(m(2)aEuro-sraEuro-cm(-1)), at a resolution of 4aEuro-cm(-1), average retrieval errors are found to be less than similar to aEuro-0.5aEuro-km for cloud bases within 1aEuro-km of the surface, increasing to similar to aEuro-1.5aEuro-km at 4aEuro-km. This sensitivity indicates that a portable, surface-based infrared radiance spectrometer could provide an important complement in remote locations to satellite-based measurements, for which retrievals of low-level cloud are challenging.

This study reports a real-time PCR assay for the detection of Brucella spp. using blowhole swab samples from bottle-nose dolphins Tursiops truncatus stranded in the coastal region of Virginia, South Carolina and northern Florida, USA, between 2013 and 2015. We used real-time PCR results on lung samples from the same dolphins in order to estimate the relative sensitivity and specificity of real-time PCR of blowhole swabs. Brucella DNA was detected in lung tissue of 22% (18/81) and in blowhole swabs of 21% (17/81) of the sampled dolphins. The relative sensitivity and specificity of real-time PCR on blowhole swabs as compared to the real-time PCR on lung samples was 94% (17/18) and 100% (63/63), respectively. These results indicate that real-time PCR on blowhole swabs may be used as a non-invasive test for rapid detection of Brucella spp. in the respiratory tract of dolphins. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the use of blowhole swabs for detection of bacterial pathogens by real-time PCR in bottlenose dolphins.

TI Electron Enhanced Growth of Crystalline Gallium Nitride Thin Films at Room Temperature and 100 degrees C Using Sequential Surface Reactions SO CHEMISTRY OF MATERIALS LA English DT Article ID ATOMIC-LAYER EPITAXY; CHEMICAL-VAPOR-DEPOSITION; INDUCED THERMAL-DESORPTION; STIMULATED DESORPTION; WURTZITE GAN; HYDROGEN DESORPTION; YELLOW LUMINESCENCE; PHASE EPITAXY; QUALITY GAN; CUBIC-GAN AB Low energy electrons may provide mechanisms to enhance thin film growth at low temperatures. As a proof of concept, this work demonstrated the deposition of gallium nitride (GaN) films over areas of similar to 5 cm(2) at room temperature and 100 degrees C using electrons with a low energy of 50 eV from an electron flood gun. The GaN films were deposited on Si(111) wafers using a cycle of reactions similar to the sequence employed for GaN atomic layer deposition (ALD). Trimethylgallium (Ga(CH3)(3), TMG), hydrogen (H) radicals and ammonia (NH3) were employed as the reactants with electron exposures included in the reaction cycle after the TMG/H and NH3 exposures. A number of ex situ techniques were then employed to analyze the GaN films. Spectroscopic ellipsometry measurements revealed that the GaN films grew linearly with the number of reaction cycles. Linear growth rates of up to 1.3 angstrom/cycle were obtained from the surface areas receiving the highest electron fluxes. Grazing incidence X-ray diffraction analysis revealed polycrystalline GaN films with the wurtzite crystal structure. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images showed crystalline grains with diameters between 2 and 10 nm depending on the growth temperature. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy depth-profiling displayed no oxygen contamination when the GaN films were capped with Al prior to atmospheric exposure. However, the carbon concentrations in the GaN films were 10-35 at. %. The mechanism for the low temperature GaN growth is believed to result from the electron stimulated desorption (ESD) of hydrogen. Hydrogen ESD yields dangling bonds that facilitate Ga-N bond formation. Mass spectrometry measurements performed concurrently with the reaction cycles revealed increases in the pressure of H-2 and various GaN etch products during the electron beam exposures. The amount of H-2 and GaN etch products increased with electron beam energy from 25 to 200 eV. These results indicate that the GaN growth occurs with competing GaN etching during the reaction cycles.

We synthesized high-density polystyrenesulfonate (PSS) brushes using surface initiated atom transfer radical polymerization and performed neutron reflectivity (NR) and surface force measurements using a surface forces apparatus (SFA) to investigate the effect of monovalent Na+, divalent Ca2+, Mg2+, and Ba2+, and trivalent Y3+ counterions on the structure of the PSS brushes. NR and SFA results demonstrate that in monovalent salt solution the behavior of the PSS brushes agrees with scaling theory well, exhibiting two distinct regimes: the osmotic and salted brush regimes. Introducing trivalent Y3+ cations causes an abrupt shrinkage of the PSS brush due to the uptake of Y3+ counterions. The uptake of Y3+ counterions and shrinkage of the brush are reversible upon increasing the concentration of monovalent salt. Divalent cations, Mg2+, Ca2+, and Ba2+, while all significantly affecting the structure of PSS brushes, show strong ion specific effects that are related to the specific interactions between the divalent cations and the sulfonate groups. Our results demonstrate that the presence of multivalent counterions, even at relatively low concentrations, can strongly affect the structure of polyelectrolyte brushes. The results also highlight the importance of ion specificity to the structure of polyelectrolyte brushes in solution.

We present two different microscopic models: the "coherent dipole model" and the "random-walk model", both suitable for modeling recent experimental work done in large atomic arrays in the low-light-intensity regime. We use them to compute relevant observables such as the linewidth, peak intensity, and line center of the emitted light. We further develop generalized models that explicitly take into account atomic motion. Those are relevant for hotter atoms and beyond the low-intensity regime. We show that atomic motion can lead to drastic dephasing and to a reduction of collective effects, together with a distortion of the line shape. Our results are applicable to model a full gamut of quantum systems that rely on atom-light interactions, including atomic clocks, quantum simulators, and nanophotonic systems.

Neutron and X-ray Rietveld analyses showed that this compound adopts the K2NiF4 structure with hydride ions positioned exclusively at the equatorial site. This result makes a striking contrast to topochemical reductions of LaSrMnO4 that result in only oxygen-deficient phases down to LaSrMnO3.5. This suggests that high H-2 pressure plays a key role in stabilizing the oxyhydride phase, offering an opportunity to synthesize other transition-metal oxyhydrides. Magnetic susceptibility revealed a spin-glass transition at 24 K that is due to competing ferromagnetic (Mn2+-Mn3+) and antiferromagnetic (Mn2+-Mn-2, Mn3+-Mn3+) interactions.

The GPS carrier-phase time transfer noise comes from four sources: GPS satellite, GPS signal path, ground receiving equipment (receiver and antenna), and data-processing algorithm. This paper focuses on the noise introduced by the ground receiving equipment. At NIST, we have installed seven GPS receivers. All receivers have the same reference time, i.e., UTC(NIST). Three of them are connected to the same antenna. The other four are connected to four different antennas. This architecture enables us to study the time-transfer noise from the ground receiving equipment. We study both long-term (> 100 days) noise and short-term (< 1 day) noise. For the long-term noise, the time-transfer result using one receiver can vary from that using another receiver by up to 1.8 ns, during 1.3 years. To achieve sub-nanosecond GPS timing accuracy, a careful monitoring of the time delays or a more frequent calibration is needed. For the short-term noise, we find that the common-clock difference between receivers using the same antenna is less noisy than that using two different antennas, at an averaging time of less than 0.5 hour. This indicates that the antenna and antenna cable contribute to the super-short-term noise of GPS carrier-phase time transfer significantly. In addition, the response to the GPS receiver's reference-time change is tested in this paper. The variation in the response can be up to +/- 350 ps. Last, this paper gives the best carrier-phase time transfer result we can currently achieve with the available equipment at NIST. The best frequency stability is 4.0x10(-16) at 3 hours, 1.1x10(-16) at 1 day, 4.0x10(-17) at 10 days, and 1.3x10(-17) at 48 days. C1 [Yao, Jian; Levine, Judah] NIST, Boulder, CO 80305 USA.

TI Intercomparison of in situ NDIR and column FTIR measurements of CO2 at Jungfraujoch SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID ATMOSPHERIC CARBON-DIOXIDE; ANTHROPOGENIC CO2; XCO2 RETRIEVALS; SWITZERLAND; VALIDATION; SCIAMACHY; SPECTRA; NETWORK; MODEL; CH4 AB We compare two CO2 time series measured at the High Alpine Research Station Jungfraujoch, Switzerland (3580 m a.s.l.),in the period from 2005 to 2013 with an in situ surface measurement system using a nondispersive infrared analyzer (NDIR) and a ground-based remote sensing system using solar absorption Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometry. Although the two data sets show an absolute shift of about 13 ppm, the slopes of the annual CO2 increase are in good agreement within their uncertainties. They are 2.04 +/- 0.07 and 1.97 +/- 0.05 ppm yr(-1) for the FTIR and the NDIR systems, respectively. The seasonality of the FTIR and the NDIR systems is 4.46 +/- 1.11 and 10.10 +/- 0.73 ppm, respectively. The difference is caused by a dampening of the CO2 signal with increasing altitude due to mixing processes. Whereas the minima of both data series occur in the middle of August, the maxima of the two data sets differ by about 10 weeks; the maximum of the FTIR measurements is in the middle of January, and the maximum of the NDIR measurements is found at the end of March. Sensitivity analyses revealed that the air masses measured by the NDIR system at the surface of Jungfraujoch are mainly influenced by central Europe, whereas the air masses measured by the FTIR system in the column above Jungfraujoch are influenced by regions as far west as the Caribbean and the USA. The correlation between the hourly averaged CO2 values of the NDIR system and the individual FTIR CO2 measurements is 0.820, which is very encouraging given the largely different sampling volumes. Further correlation analyses showed, that the correlation is mainly driven by the an-nual CO2 increase and to a lesser degree by the seasonality. Both systems are suitable to monitor the long-term CO2 increase, because this signal is represented in the whole atmosphere due to mixing.

Rev. Lett. 112, 127601 (2014)]. We unveil an extremely rich physics strongly linked to ferroelectric properties, ranging from the electric control of bulk Rashba effect to the existence of a three-dimensional topological insulator phase, with concomitant topological surface states even in the ultrathin film limit. Moreover, we predict that the topological transition, as induced by alloying, is followed by a Weyl semimetal phase of finite concentration extension, which is robust against disorder, putting forward hyperferroelectrics as promising candidates for spin-orbitronic applications.

Future concentrations of these air pollutants will be driven by natural and anthropogenic emissions and by climate change. Using anthropogenic and biomass burning emissions projected in the four Representative Concentration Pathway scenarios (RCPs), the ACCMIP ensemble of chemistry-climate models simulated future concentrations of ozone and PM2.5 at selected decades between 2000 and 2100. We use output from the ACCMIP ensemble, together with projections of future population and baseline mortality rates, to quantify the human premature mortality impacts of future ambient air pollution. Future air-pollution-related premature mortality in 2030, 2050 and 2100 is estimated for each scenario and for each model using a health impact function based on changes in concentrations of ozone and PM2.5 relative to 2000 and projected future population and baseline mortality rates. Additionally, the global mortality burden of ozone and PM2.5 in 2000 and each future period is estimated relative to 1850 concentrations, using present-day and future population and baseline mortality rates. The change in future ozone concentrations relative to 2000 is associated with excess global premature mortality in some scenarios/periods, particularly in RCP8.5 in 2100 (316 thousand deaths year(-1)), likely driven by the large increase in methane emissions and by the net effect of climate change projected in this scenario, but it leads to considerable avoided premature mortality for the three other RCPs. However, the global mortality burden of ozone markedly increases from 382 000 (121 000 to 728 000) deaths year(-1) in 2000 to between 1.09 and 2.36 million deaths year(-1) in 2100, across RCPs, mostly due to the effect of increases in population and baseline mortality rates. PM2.5 concentrations decrease relative to 2000 in all scenarios, due to projected reductions in emissions, and are associated with avoided premature mortality, particularly in 2100: between -2.39 and -1.31 million deaths year(-1) for the four RCPs. The global mortality burden of PM2.5 is estimated to decrease from 1.70 (1.30 to 2.10) million deaths year 1 in 2000 to between 0.95 and 1.55 million deaths year 1 in 2100 for the four RCPs due to the combined effect of decreases in PM2.5 concentrations and changes in population and baseline mortality rates. Trends in future air-pollution-related mortality vary regionally across scenarios, reflecting assumptions for economic growth and air pollution control specific to each RCP and region. Mortality estimates differ among chemistry-climate models due to differences in simulated pollutant concentrations, which is the greatest contributor to overall mortality uncertainty for most cases assessed here, supporting the use of model ensembles to characterize uncertainty. Increases in exposed population and baseline mortality rates of respiratory diseases magnify the impact on premature mortality of changes in future air pollutant concentrations and explain why the future global mortality burden of air pollution can exceed the current burden, even where air pollutant concentrations decrease.

TI Quantum Network of Atom Clocks: A Possible Implementation with Neutral Atoms SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article ID LINEAR OPTICS; ENSEMBLES; ENTANGLEMENT AB We propose a protocol for creating a fully entangled Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger-type state of neutral atoms in spatially separated optical atomic clocks. In our scheme, local operations make use of the strong dipole-dipole interaction between Rydberg excitations, which give rise to fast and reliable quantum operations involving all atoms in the ensemble. The necessary entanglement between distant ensembles is mediated by single-photon quantum channels and collectively enhanced light-matter couplings. These techniques can be used to create the recently proposed quantum clock network based on neutral atom optical clocks. We specifically analyze a possible realization of this scheme using neutral Yb ensembles. C1 [Komar, P.; Topcu, T.; Kessler, E. M.; Derevianko, A.; Lukin, M.

TI Stability of the M2 phase of vanadium dioxide induced by coherent epitaxial strain SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID METAL-INSULATOR TRANSITIONS; VO2 THIN-FILMS; INITIO MOLECULAR-DYNAMICS; TOTAL-ENERGY CALCULATIONS; MOTT-HUBBARD SYSTEMS; WAVE BASIS-SET; SPECTRAL-FUNCTION; DOPED VO2; TEMPERATURE; SPECTROSCOPY AB Tensile strain along the c(R) axis in epitaxial VO2 films raises the temperature of the metal insulator transition and is expected to stabilize the intermediate monoclinic M2 phase. We employ surface-sensitive x-ray spectroscopy to distinguish from the TiO2 substrate and identify the phases of VO2 as a function of temperature in epitaxial VO2/TiO2 thin films with well-defined biaxial strain. Although qualitatively similar to our Landau-Ginzburg theory predicted phase diagrams, the M2 phase is stabilized by nearly an order of magnitude more strain than expected for the measured temperature window. Our results reveal that the elongation of the cR axis is insufficient for describing the transition pathway of VO2 epitaxial films and that a strain induced increase of electron correlation effects must be considered.

Tiesinga, Eite TI Sudden-quench dynamics of Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer states in deep optical lattices SO PHYSICAL REVIEW A LA English DT Article ID HONEYCOMB LATTICE; DIRAC POINTS; FERMI GAS; BCS; SUPERCONDUCTIVITY; TRANSITION; CROSSOVER; PHASE AB We determine the exact dynamics of an initial Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) state of ultracold atoms in a deep hexagonal optical lattice. The dynamical evolution is triggered by a quench of the lattice potential such that the interaction strength U-f is much larger than the hopping amplitude J(f). The quench initiates collective oscillations with frequency vertical bar U-f vertical bar/2 pi in the momentum occupation numbers and imprints an oscillating phase with the same frequency on the BCS order parameter Delta. The oscillation frequency of Delta is not reproduced by treating the time evolution in mean-field theory. In our theory, the momentum noise (i.e., density-density) correlation functions oscillate at frequency vertical bar U-f vertical bar/2 pi as well as at its second harmonic. For a very deep lattice, with zero tunneling energy, the oscillations of momentum occupation numbers are undamped. Nonzero tunneling after the quench leads to dephasing of the different momentum modes and a subsequent damping of the oscillations. The damping occurs even for a finite-temperature initial BCS state, but not for a noninteracting Fermi gas. Furthermore, damping is stronger for larger order parameter and may therefore be used as a signature of the BCS state. Finally, our theory shows that the noise correlation functions in a honeycomb lattice will develop strong anticorrelations near the Dirac point.

TI Hydrogen Limitation and Syntrophic Growth among Natural Assemblages of Thermophilic Methanogens at Deep-sea Hydrothermal Vents SO Frontiers in Microbiology LA English DT Article ID THERMOCOCCUS-ONNURINEUS NA1; COMPLETE GENOME SEQUENCE; EAST-PACIFIC RISE; MICROBIAL COMMUNITIES; SP-NOV.; AXIAL SEAMOUNT; GEN. NOV.; METHANOCOCCUS-JANNASCHII; SUBSEAFLOOR HABITAT; NITROGEN-FIXATION AB Thermophilic methanogens are common autotrophs at hydrothermal vents, but their growth constraints and dependence on H-2 syntrophy in situ are poorly understood. Between 2012 and 2015, methanogens and H2-producing heterotrophs were detected by growth at 80 degrees C and 55 degrees C at most diffuse (740 degrees C) hydrothermal vent sites at Axial Seamount. Microcosm incubations of diffuse hydrothermal fluids at 80 degrees C and 55 degrees C demonstrated that growth of thermophilic and hyperthermophilic methanogens is primarily limited by H-2 availability. Amendment of microcosms with NH4+ generally had no effect on CH4 production. However, annual variations in abundance and CH4 production were observed in relation to the eruption cycle of the seamount. Microcosm incubations of hydrothermal fluids at 80 degrees C and 55 degrees C supplemented with tryptone and no added H-2 showed CH4 production indicating the capacity in situ for methanogenic H-2 syntrophy. 16S rRNA genes were found in 80 degrees C microcosms from H-2-producing archaea and H-2-consuming methanogens, but not for any bacteria. In 55 degrees C microcosms, sequences were found from H-2-producing bacteria and H-2-consuming methanogens and sulfate-reducing bacteria. A co-culture of representative organisms showed that Thermococcus paralvinellae supported the syntrophic growth of Methanocaldococcus bathoardescens at 82 degrees C and Methanothermococcus sp. strain BW11 at 60 degrees C. The results demonstrate that modeling of subseafloor methanogenesis should focus primarily on H-2 availability and temperature, and that thermophilic H-2 syntrophy can support methanogenesis within natural microbial assemblages and may be an important energy source for thermophilic autotrophs in marine geothermal environments.

TI Impact of intrinsic backbone chain stiffness on the morphologies of bottle-brush diblock copolymers SO POLYMER LA English DT Article DE Instrinsic backbone stiffness; Self-assembly; Bottle-brush copolymers; Molecular dynamics simulations; Bead-spring model ID CONSISTENT-FIELD THEORY; BLOCK-COPOLYMERS; PHASE-BEHAVIOR; PHOTONIC CRYSTALS; SIMULATIONS; FABRICATION; BLENDS; MELTS AB Self-assembly methods are used for the production of photonic and nanoporous materials derived from block copolymers. In this context, bottle-brush copolymers have demonstrated a number of advantages over the respective linear copolymers, such as faster self-assembly kinetics and a richer morphology behavior. However, the effect of intrinsic molecular stiffness on the morphology of bottle-brush copolymers has been previously overlooked. Here, we investigate the role of the intrinsic backbone chain stiffness on the morphology behavior of bottle-brush diblock copolymers by using molecular dynamics simulations of a bead-spring coarse-grained model. We focus on bottle-brush macromolecules having blocks of the same volume fraction and asymmetric-in-length side chains. We find that an increase of the backbone stiffness triggers an ordereorder transition from hexagonal packed cylinders to lamellar morphologies with asymmetric domain spacings, which is of particular interest for the manufacturing of nanopatterning and semiconductor applications. The change in the morphology is due to the effective many-body attractions between the blocks resulting in a parallel stacking that disrupts the symmetry of the cylindrical morphology. We anticipate that our work will underline the significance of intrinsic molecular stiffness in the self-assembly of polymer systems, which has been previously neglected. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

TI DNA as a flame retardant additive for low-density polyethylene SO POLYMER LA English DT Article DE Flame retardant; DNA; LDPE ID VINYL ACETATE COPOLYMERS; AMMONIUM POLYPHOSPHATE; THERMAL-DEGRADATION; EXTRACTION; COTTON; DAMAGE; ACID AB Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) was investigated as a flame retardant (FR) additive for melt-compounded formulations with low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and compared to LDPE compounded with melamine polyphosphate (MPP), one of the industry standard intumescent FR additives for plastics. DNA showed a much greater compatibility with the LDPE matrix than MPP. At high loading levels, DNA showed minimal increases in compounding torque, while MPP increased torque by over 20%. Qualitative evaluation using SEM and EDS showed that DNA/LDPE blends had significantly improved cross-sectional morphology, with fewer microaggregates and improved particle dispersion than MPP/LDPE. Horizontal burn testing showed that DNA markedly reduced flame burn distances in LDPE above loading levels of 5% w/w. Biochemical characterization of heat-treated DNA revealed that DNA undergoes denaturation, fragmentation, and oxidation during compounding, but these processes did not appear to have an effect on its FR properties. This study expands the field of DNA-based FR beyond specialty substrates, and establishes DNA as a viable green FR additive for commodity polymer applications. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

In the native SiNWs, sigma(f) in the Si was comparable to the theoretical strength of Si < 111 >, approximate to 22 GPa. In the oxidized SiNWs, sigma(f) in the SiO2 was comparable to the theoretical strength of SiO2, approximate to 6 to 12 GPa. The results indicate a change in the failure mechanism between native SiNWs, in which fracture originated via inter-atomic bond breaking or atomic-scale defects in the Si, and oxidized SiNWs, in which fracture initiated from surface roughness or nano-scale defects in the SiO2.

The unusually red-shifted emission of TagRFP675, a derivative of mKate, has been attributed to the multiple hydrogen bonds with the chromophore N-acylimine carbonyl. We characterized TagRFP675 and point mutants designed to perturb these hydrogen bonds with spectrally resolved transient grating and time-resolved fluorescence (TRF) spectroscopies supported by molecular dynamics simulations. TRF results for TagRFP675 and the mKate/M41Qvariant show picosecond time scale red-shifts followed by nanosecond time blue-shifts. Global analysis of the TRF spectra reveals spectrally distinct emitting states that do not interconvert during the S-1 lifetime. These dynamics originate from photoexcitation of a mixed ground-state population of acylimine hydrogen bond conformers. Strategically tuning the chromophore environment in TagRFP675 might stabilize the most red-shifted conformation and result in a variant with a larger Stokes shift.

TI Quantum State Resolved 3D Velocity Map Imaging of Surface Scattered Molecules: Incident Energy Effects in HCl plus Self-Assembled Monolayer Collisions SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY C LA English DT Article ID GAS-LIQUID INTERFACE; DIRECT INELASTIC-SCATTERING; ENHANCED MULTIPHOTON IONIZATION; SUM-FREQUENCY GENERATION; CO2 SCATTERING; TRAPPING-DESORPTION; ATOMIC OXYGEN; H EXCHANGE; DYNAMICS; DISTRIBUTIONS AB Thermal and hyperthermal HCl (v = 0, J = 0) collision dynamics at the surface of methyl-terminated self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are probed by state-selective ionization followed by velocity-map imaging (VMI) to yield a full 2 pi steradian map of final 3D velocity distributions (v(x), v(y), v(z)) as a function of rovibrational (v, J) quantum state. "DC slicing" of the scattered HCl flux normal to the surface (v(z)) provides a powerful tool for eliminating incident beam contamination, as well as access to fully correlated, 3D flux weighted rovibrational quantum state + translational scattering dynamics in unprecedented detail. At low collision energies (E-inc approximate to 0.7(1) kcal/mol), the scattering dynamics are completely dominated by trapping-desorption (TD) events, for which both external (i.e., translational) and internal (i.e., rovibrational) degrees of freedom quantitatively track the SAM surface temperature (T-S). Hyperthermal scattering data at high collision energies (E-inc approximate to 17(1) kcal/mol) provide direct evidence for growth of an additional nonequilibrium, impulsive scattering (IS) channel, with a strong forward scattering propensity broadly distributed around the specular angle. The competition between linear and angular momentum transfer for such a rapidly rotating hydride species (B-HCl approximate to 10 cm(-1)) is investigated in the IS channel, which reveals strong retention of translational energy with only modest rotational excitation (kappa(trans) approximate to 48(7)%, K-rot approximate to 6(2)%) and in clear contrast with studies of more slowly tumbling species (B-CO2 approximate to 0.4 cm(-1)) such as CO2 (kappa(trans) approximate to 6(2)%, kappa(rot) approximate to 20(4)%). Most importantly; the combination of (i) full 2 pi steradian angular data with (ii) full quantum state resolution permits a model free deconstruction of the experimental velocity map images into TD and IS components, which provides striking, independent confirmation of the hyperthermal yet Boltzmann-like nature of both the (i) IS quantum state and the (ii) out-of-plane momentum distributions. In summary, this novel combination of VMI with quantum state resolved scattering techniques provides powerful synergistic opportunities for correlated investigation of quantum state resolved reactive and inelastic energy transfer dynamics at gas-liquid-like interfaces with chemically "tunable" surface moieties.

Here, we demonstrate significant quantitative and qualitative improvements in broadband x-ray NDA by combining particle-induced emission with detection based on superconducting microcalorimeter arrays. We show that the technique offers great promise in the elemental analysis of thin-film and bulk samples, especially in the difficult cases where tens of different elements with nearly overlapping emission lines have to be identified down to trace concentrations. We demonstrate the efficiency and resolving capabilities by spectroscopy of several complex multielement samples in the energy range 1-10 keV, some of which have a trace amount of impurities not detectable with standard silicon drift detectors. The ability to distinguish the chemical environment of an element is also demonstrated by measuring the intensity differences and chemical shifts of the characteristics x-ray peaks of titanium compounds. In particular, we report measurements of the K alpha/K beta intensity ratio of thin films of TiN and measurements of Ti K alpha satellite peak intensities in various Ti thin-film compounds. We also assess the detection limits of the technique, comment on detection limits possible in the future, and discuss possible applications. C1 [Palosaari, M. R. J.; Kinnunen, K.

TI High-Fidelity Universal Gate Set for Be-9(+) Ion Qubits SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article ID TRAPPED IONS; QUANTUM COMPUTERS; STATE; PHYSICS AB We report high-fidelity laser-beam-induced quantum logic gates on magnetic-field-insensitive qubits comprised of hyperfine states in Be-9(+) ions with a memory coherence time of more than 1 s. We demonstrate single-qubit gates with an error per gate of 3.8(1) x 10(-5). By creating a Bell state with a deterministic two-qubit gate, we deduce a gate error of 8(4) x 10(-4). We characterize the errors in our implementation and discuss methods to further reduce imperfections towards values that are compatible with fault-tolerant processing at realistic overhead.

TI Temperature-dependent magnetization, anisotropy and conductivity of CoFe2-xSnxO4 (x=0.025, 0.05, 0.075): appearance of grain boundary conductivity at high temperatures SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICS D-APPLIED PHYSICS LA English DT Article DE ferrite; magnetic anisotropy; impedance spectrascopy; magnetization; ac conductivity ID ELECTRICAL-PROPERTIES; FERRITES; NANOPARTICLES; FILMS; MAGNETOSTRICTION; TRANSITION; SCATTERING; MAGNETITE; CERAMICS; SPECTRA AB The temperature dependence of magnetization, anisotropy, ac and dc conductivity of CoFe2-xSnxO4 (x = 0.025, 0.05, 0.075) were investigated and the results are reported. All the compounds were prepared by a solid-state reaction, and the formation of the compounds in the cubic inverse spinel phase was confirmed from their Rietveld refined x-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns and Raman spectra. Increments in the lattice constant were observed upon the partial substitution of Fe3+ by Sn4+. The presence of all elements and their ionic states were confirmed from x-ray photoelectron spectroscopic studies. Magnetic hysteresis loops were measured for each compound at temperature 20 K and 50-300 K (in steps of 50 K) using a superconducting quantum interference device vibrating sample magnetometer. Both magnetization and magnetic anisotropy showed a decrease in values with increasing Sn substitution. Room temperature (RT) magnetization is seen to decrease from 80-65.91 emu g(-1) with increasing Sn concentration from x = 0 (CoFe2O4) to 0.075 (CoFe1.925Sn0.075O4). The high field regimes of the hysteresis loops were modeled using the law of approach to the saturation magnetization equation. The temperature variation of magnetization and magnetic anisotropy are explained on the basis of a one-ion model. Complex impedance spectroscopy studies at RT show that the conductivity in these materials is predominantly due to the intrinsic bulk grains. With increasing the temperature, evolution of the grain boundary conduction is clearly seen through the appearance of a second semi-circle in the complex impedance plots. The RT total dc conductivity value of CoFe2-xSnxO4 (x = 0, 0.025, 0.05, 0.075) is found to be 5.78 x 10(-8), 8.56 x 10(-8), 1.44 x 10(-7) and 1.11 x 10(-7) S cm(-1) respectively. The observation of well-distinguishable grain and grain boundary conductions and the low conductivity values in the CoFe2-xSnxO4 (x = 0, 0.025) materials indicates that these materials are promising candidates for high-frequency applications.

This study compared the GOSAT TANSOFTS thermal infrared (TIR) version 1.0 CH4 product with the collocated AIRS version 6 CH4 product using data from 1 August 2010 to 30 June 2012, including the CH4 mixing ratios and the total column amounts. The results show that at 300-600 hPa, where both AIRS and GOSAT-TIR CH4 have peak sensitivities, they agree very well, but GOSAT-TIR retrievals tend to be higher than AIRS in layer 200-300 hPa. At 300 hPa the CH4 mixing ratio from GOSAT-TIR is, on average, 10.3 +/- 31.8 ppbv higher than that from AIRS, and at 600 hPa GOSAT-TIR retrieved CH4 is 16.2 +/- 25.7 ppbv lower than AIRS CH4. Comparison of the total column amount of CH4 shows that GOSAT-TIR agrees with AIRS to within 1% in the mid-latitude regions of the Southern Hemisphere and in the tropics. In the mid to high latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere, comparison shows that GOSAT-TIR is similar to 1-2% lower than AIRS, and in the high-latitude regions of the Southern Hemisphere the difference of GOSAT from AIRS varies from 3% in October to +2% in July. The difference between AIRS and GOSAT TANSO-FTS retrievals is mainly due to the difference in retrieval algorithms and instruments themselves, and the larger difference in the highlatitude regions is associated with the low information content and small degrees of freedom of the retrieval. The degrees of freedom of GOSAT-TIR retrievals are lower than that of AIRS, which also indicates that the constraint in GOSAT-TIR retrievals may be too strong. From the good correlation between AIRS and GOSAT-TIR retrievals and the seasonal variation they observed, we are confident that the thermal infrared measurements from AIRS and GOSAT-TIR can provide valuable information to capture the spatial and temporal variation of CH4, especially in the mid-upper troposphere, in most periods and regions.

TI Measured Wavelength-Dependent Absorption Enhancement of Internally Mixed Black Carbon with Absorbing and Nonabsorbing Materials SO ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article ID AEROSOL LIGHT-ABSORPTION; OPTICAL-PROPERTIES; BROWN CARBON; MIXING STATE; PHOTOACOUSTIC TECHNIQUE; ATMOSPHERIC AEROSOLS; REFRACTIVE-INDEX; SOOT; PARTICLES; SPECTROMETER AB Optical absorption spectra of laboratory generated aerosols consisting of black carbon (BC) internally mixed with nonabsorbing materials (ammonium sulfate, AS, and sodium chloride, NaCl) and BC with a weakly absorbing brown carbon surrogate derived from humic acid (HA) were measured across the visible to o near-IR (550 to 840 nm). Spectra were measured in situ using a photoacoustic spectrometer and step-scanning a supercontinuum laser source with a tunable 0 wavelength and bandwidth filter. BC had a mass-specific absorption cross section 1:2 (MAC) of 7.89 +/- 0.25 m(2) g(-1) at lambda = 550 nm and an absorption Angstrom exponent (AAE) of 1.03 +/- 0.09 (2 sigma). For internally mixed BC, the ratio of BC mass to the total mass of the mixture was chosen as 0.13 to mimic particles observed in the terrestrial. atmosphere. The manner in which BC mixed with each material was determined from transmission electron microscopy (TEM). AS/BC and HA/BC particles were fully internally mixed, and the BC was both internally and externally mixed for NaCl/BC particles. The AS/BC, NaCl/BC, and HA/BC particles had AAEs of 1.43 +/- 0.05, 1.34 +/- 0.06, and 1.91 +/- 0.05, respectively. The observed absorption enhancement of mixed BC relative to the pure BC was wavelength dependent for AS/BC and decreased from 1.5 at lambda = 550 nm with increasing wavelength while the NaCl/BC enhancement was essentially wavelength independent. For HA/BC, the enhancement ranged from 2 to 3 and was strongly wavelength dependent. Removal of the HA absorption contribution to enhancement revealed that the enhancement was approximate to 1.5 and independent of wavelength.

The short-range interactions are modeled in the zero-range limit, where the quench is accomplished by switching the boundary condition of the wave function at vanishing particle separation. This generates a correlation wave that propagates rapidly to nonzero particle separations. We have derived universal, analytic results for this process that lead to a simple phase-space picture of the quench-induced scattering. Intuitively, the strength of the correlation wave relates to the initial contact of the system. We find that, in one spatial dimension, the k(-4) tail of the momentum distribution contains a ballistic contribution that does not originate from short-range pair correlations, and a similar conclusion can hold in other dimensionalities depending on the quench protocol. We examine the resultant quench-induced transport in an optical lattice in one dimension, and a semiclassical treatment is found to give quantitatively accurate estimates for the transport probabilities.

TI Spatially patterned matrix elasticity directs stem cell fate SO PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA LA English DT Article DE photodegradable hydrogel; human mesenchymal stem cell; spatial matrix stiffness ID EXTRACELLULAR-MATRIX; PHOTODEGRADABLE HYDROGELS; FUNCTIONAL STRUCTURE; SELF-RENEWAL; DIFFERENTIATION; ADHESION; DISEASE; LINEAGE; MECHANOTRANSDUCTION; NANOTOPOGRAPHY AB There is a growing appreciation for the functional role of matrix mechanics in regulating stem cell self-renewal and differentiation processes. However, it is largely unknown how subcellular, spatial mechanical variations in the local extracellular environment mediate intracellular signal transduction and direct cell fate. Here, the effect of spatial distribution, magnitude, and organization of subcellular matrix mechanical properties on human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSCs) function was investigated. Exploiting a photodegradation reaction, a hydrogel cell culture substrate was fabricated with regions of spatially varied and distinct mechanical properties, which were subsequently mapped and quantified by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The variations in the underlying matrix mechanics were found to regulate cellular adhesion and transcriptional events. Highly spread, elongated morphologies and higher Yes-associated protein (YAP) activation were observed in hMSCs seeded on hydrogels with higher concentrations of stiff regions in a dose-dependent manner. However, when the spatial organization of the mechanically stiff regions was altered from a regular to randomized pattern, lower levels of YAP activation with smaller and more rounded cell morphologies were induced in hMSCs. We infer from these results that irregular, disorganized variations in matrix mechanics, compared with regular patterns, appear to disrupt actin organization, and lead to different cell fates; this was verified by observations of lower alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and higher expression of CD105, a stem cell marker, in hMSCs in random versus regular patterns of mechanical properties. Collectively, this material platform has allowed innovative experiments to elucidate a novel spatial mechanical dosing mechanism that correlates to both the magnitude and organization of spatial stiffness.

At the heart of the bridge are two Josephson arbitrary waveform synthesizer systems that offer unprecedented flexibility in high-precision impedance calibration, that is, it can compare impedances with arbitrary ratios and phase angles. Thus this single bridge can fully cover the entire complex plane.

TI Evidence for ship noise impacts on humpback whale foraging behaviour SO BIOLOGY LETTERS LA English DT Article DE anthropogenic noise; humpback whale; foraging ID MEGAPTERA-NOVAEANGLIAE; COMMUNICATION BEHAVIOR; ANTHROPOGENIC NOISE; SPERM-WHALES; SONAR; ATTENTION; RESPONSES; EXPOSURE; GULF AB Noise from shipping activity in North Atlantic coastal waters has been steadily increasing and is an area of growing conservation concern, as it has the potential to disrupt the behaviour of marine organisms. This study examines the impacts of ship noise on bottom foraging humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) in the western North Atlantic. Data were collected from 10 foraging whales using non-invasive archival tags that simultaneously recorded underwater movements and the acoustic environment at the whale. Using mixed models, we assess the effects of ship noise on seven parameters of their feeding behaviours. Independent variables included the presence or absence of ship noise and the received level of ship noise at the whale. We found significant effects on foraging, including slower descent rates and fewer side-roll feeding events per dive with increasing ship noise. During 5 of 18 ship passages, dives without side-rolls were observed. These findings indicate that humpback whales on Stellwagen Bank, an area with chronically elevated levels of shipping traffic, significantly change foraging activity when exposed to high levels of ship noise. This measureable reduction in within-dive foraging effort of individual whales could potentially lead to population-level impacts of shipping noise on baleen whale foraging success.

The lack of agreement on methods for monitoring fine sediments makes it difficult to share data, limiting assessments of stream conditions across jurisdictions. We present a model that circumvents these limitations by inferring fine sediments in Oregon streams through sampling of macroinvertebrates. Tolerances to fine sediments (<0.06 mm diameter) were calculated for 240 macroinvertebrate taxa, from a calibration dataset of 446 sites across Oregon, as well as an independent validation dataset of 50 samples. Weighted averaging methods were used to infer fine sediment levels in streams by weighting the tolerances of modeled taxa observed in a sample by their abundances. The final model, the Biological Sediment Tolerance Index (BSTI), showed a strong relationship to measured fine sediments (calibration r(2) = 0.49, validation r(2) = 0.58). Root mean-squared-error was small in the calibration dataset (2% fines), but larger in the validation dataset (14% fines). Repeatability was assessed by examining variability in BSTI at 14 sites across Oregon. Because field methods for sampling macroinvertebrates are standardized across resource agencies in Oregon and the responses of macroinvertebrates represent the actual effects of fine sediments on stream ecosystems, the BSTI may offer water resource managers' a cost-effective method for assessing fine sediment conditions in their ongoing efforts to improve water quality across the state.

To understand this behavior, experiments are performed with dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP) added to the oxidizer stream of methane-air co-flow diffusion flames (cup-burner configuration). At low volume fraction, phosphorus (via DMMP addition) is shown to be about four times as effective as bromine (via Br-2 addition) at reducing the amount of CO2 required for extinguishment; however, above about 3000 mu L/L to 6000 mu L/L, the marginal effectiveness of DMMP is approximately zero. In contrast, the diminished effectiveness does not occur for Br2 addition. To explore the role of condensation of active phosphorus-containing compounds to the particles, laser-scattering measurements are performed. Finally, to examine the behavior of the flame stabilization region (which is responsible for extinguishment), premixed burning velocity simulations with detailed kinetics are performed for DMMP addition to methane-air flames. Analyses of the numerical results are performed to understand the variation in the inhibition mechanism with temperature, agent loading, and stoichiometry, to interpret the loss of effectiveness for DMMP in the present experiments.

Many emergency department (ED) patients may not routinely seek care elsewhere. In a survey of ED visitors, 36.8% of unvaccinated respondents were willing to consider influenza vaccination during their visit. Participants at high risk for influenza complications were more likely to have been previously vaccinated, but unvaccinated participants at high risk were not significantly more likely to consider ED-based vaccination compared with other participants. ED-based influenza vaccination may be an effective method to expand vaccine coverage.

TI Sources of uncertainties in 21st century projections of potential ocean ecosystem stressors SO GLOBAL BIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLES LA English DT Article ID LINE SIMULATION CHARACTERISTICS; NORTH-AMERICAN CLIMATE; MARINE ECOSYSTEMS; CMIP5 MODELS; SEA-LEVEL; NATURAL VARIABILITY; SOUTHERN-OCEAN; CHANGING OCEAN; LARGE ENSEMBLE; CHANGE IMPACTS AB Future projections of potential ocean ecosystem stressors, such as acidification, warming, deoxygenation, and changes in ocean productivity, are uncertain due to incomplete understanding of fundamental processes, internal climate variability, and divergent carbon emission scenarios. This complicates climate change impact assessments. We evaluate the relative importance of these uncertainty sources in projections of potential stressors as a function of projection lead time and spatial scale. Internally generated climate variability is the dominant source of uncertainty in middle-to-low latitudes and in most coastal large marine ecosystems over the next few decades, suggesting irreducible uncertainty inherent in these short projections. Uncertainty in projections of century-scale global sea surface temperature (SST), global thermocline oxygen, and regional surface pH is dominated by scenario uncertainty, highlighting the critical importance of policy decisions on carbon emissions. In contrast, uncertainty in century-scale projections of net primary productivity, low-oxygen waters, and Southern Ocean SST is dominated by model uncertainty, underscoring that the importance of overcoming deficiencies in scientific understanding and improved process representation in Earth system models are critical for making more robust projections these potential stressors. We also show that changes in the combined potential stressors emerge from the noise in 39% (34-44%) of the ocean by 2016-2035 relative to the 1986-2005 reference period and in 54% (50-60%) of the ocean by 2076-2095 following a high-carbon emission scenario. Projected large changes in surface pH and SST can be reduced substantially and rapidly with aggressive carbon emission mitigation but only marginally for oxygen. The regional importance of model uncertainty and internal variability underscores the need for expanded and improved multimodel and large initial condition ensemble projections with Earth system models for evaluating regional marine resource impacts.

In anticipation of the removal of two hydroelectric dams on the Elwha River in Washington State, we tested this hypothesis with a salmon carcass addition experiment. Our study was designed to examine how background nutrient dynamics and benthic food webs vary seasonally, and how these features respond to salmon subsidies. We conducted our experiment in six side channels of the Elwha River, each with a spatially paired reference and treatment reach. Each reach was sampled on multiple occasions from October 2007 to August 2008, before and after carcass placement. We evaluated nutrient limitation status; measured water chemistry, periphyton, benthic invertebrates, and juvenile rainbow trout (O. mykiss) response; and traced salmon-derived nutrient uptake using stable isotopes. Outside of winter, algal accrual was limited by both nitrogen and phosphorous and remained so even in the presence of salmon carcasses. One month after salmon addition, dissolved inorganic nitrogen levels doubled in treatment reaches. Two months after addition, benthic algal accrual was significantly elevated. We detected no changes in invertebrate or fish metrics, with the exception of N-15 enrichment. Natural seasonal variability was greater than salmon effects for the majority of our response metrics. Yet seasonality and synchronicity of nutrient supply and demand are often overlooked in nutrient enhancement studies. Timing and magnitude of salmon-derived nitrogen utilization suggest that uptake of dissolved nutrients was favored over direct consumption of carcasses. The highest proportion of salmon-derived nitrogen was incorporated by herbivores (18-30%) and peaked 1-2 months after carcass addition. Peak nitrogen enrichment in predators (11-16%) occurred 2-3 months after addition. All taxa returned to background delta N-15 levels by 7 months. Since this study was conducted, both dams on the Elwha River were removed over 2011-2014 to open over 90% of the basin to anadromous fishes. We anticipate that as the full portfolio of salmon species expands through the basin, nutrient supply and demand will come into better balance. C1 [Morley, S.

In forested freshwater ecosystems, shading by streamside (riparian) vegetation is a dominant control on light flux and represents an important interaction at the aquatic-terrestrial interface. Changes in forest structure over time, particularly tree mortality processes that gradually increase light penetration through maturing forest canopies, are likely to influence stream light fluxes and associated ecosystem functions. We provide a set of conceptual models describing how stream light dynamics change with the development of complex canopy structure and how changes in light availability are likely to affect stream ecosystem processes. Shortly after a stand-replacing event, light flux to the stream is high, but light fluxes decline as canopies reestablish and close. Tree density, the degree of understory growth, patterns of tree mortality, and small-scale disturbances interact as drivers of multiple pathways of forest structural development. Changes in canopy structure will, in turn, influence stream light, which is expected to impact primary production and stream nutrient dynamics as well as the amount of autochthonous carbon supporting aquatic food webs. Ultimately, these conceptual models stress the-importance of recovery from historic forest disturbances as well as future forest change as important factors influencing the long-term trajectories of ecosystem processes in headwaters.

In particular, nutrient sensors are of interest because of the well-known adverse effects of nutrient enrichment on coastal hypoxia, harmful algal blooms, and impacts to human health. Accurate and timely information on nutrient concentrations and loads is integral to strategies designed to minimize risk to humans and manage the underlying drivers of water quality impairment. Using nitrate sensors as the primary example, we highlight the types of applications in freshwater and coastal environments that are likely to benefit from continuous, real-time nutrient data. The concurrent emergence of new tools to integrate, manage, and share large datasets is critical to the successful use of nutrient sensors and has made it possible for the field of continuous monitoring to rapidly move forward. We highlight several near-term opportunities for federal agencies, as well as the broader scientific and management community, that will help accelerate sensor development, build and leverage sites within a national network, and develop open data standards and data management protocols that are key to realizing the benefits of a large-scale, integrated monitoring network. Investing in these opportunities will provide new information to guide management and policies designed to protect and restore our nation's water resources.

The long-term trends and seasonal evolutions of ice concentration, composite albedo, and ice albedo were then obtained. In July-August 1982-2009, the linear trend of the composite albedo and the ice albedo was -0.069 and -0.046 units per decade, respectively. During 1 June to 19 August, melting of sea ice resulted in an increase of solar heat input to the ice-ocean system by 282 MJ.m(-2) from 1982 to 2009. However, because of the counter-balancing effects of the loss of sea ice area and the enhanced ice surface melting, the trend of solar heat input to the ice was insignificant. The summer evolution of ice albedo matched the ice surface melting and ponding well at basin scale. The ice albedo showed a large difference between the multiyear and first-year ice because the latter melted completely by the end of a melt season. At the SHEBA geolocations, a distinct change in the ice albedo has occurred since 2007, because most of the multiyear ice has been replaced by first-year ice. A positive polarity in the Arctic Dipole Anomaly could be partly responsible for the rapid loss of summer ice within the study region in the recent years by bringing warmer air masses from the south and advecting more ice toward the north. Both these effects would enhance ice-albedo feedback. C1 [Lei, Ruibo; Zhang, Zhanhai] Polar Res Inst China, State Ocean Adm, Key Lab Polar Sci, Shanghai, Peoples R China.

TI Winter Water Properties and the Chukchi Polynya SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-OCEANS LA English DT Article ID BARROW CANYON; ARCTIC-OCEAN; SEA-ICE; BERING STRAIT; BEAUFORT SEA; SHELF; CIRCULATION; HALOCLINE; EXCHANGE; DYNAMICS AB Water properties from moored measurements (2010-2015) near Icy Cape on the eastern Chukchi shelf have been examined in relation to satellite observations of ice cover. Atlantic Water (AW), with temperature >-1 degrees C and salinity >33.6, has been observed to upwell from deeper than 200 m in the Arctic Basin onto the Chukchi Shelf via Barrow Canyon. Most previous observations of AW on the Chukchi shelf have been in or near Barrow Canyon; observations of AW farther onto the shelf are rare. Despite mooring location on the shelf similar to 225 km from the head of Barrow Canyon, five AW events have been observed at mooring C1 (70.8 degrees N, 163.2 degrees W) in 4 years of data. All but one of the events occurred under openings in the sea-ice cover (either a polynya or the ice edge). No events were observed during the winter of 2011/2012, a year with little polynya activity in the region. In addition to changes in temperature and salinity, the AW events are typically associated with southwestward winds and currents, changes in sea-ice cover, and increased nutrient concentrations in the bottom water. Estimates of heat content associated with the AW events suggest that the Chukchi Polynya can often be classified as a hybrid sensible heat/wind-driven polynya. C1 [Ladd, C.; Mordy, C. W.; Salo, S.

Volume transport in the upper branch of Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC) and MHT from the observations are consistent with the previous observations, but are higher than the estimates derived from three data assimilative ocean models, at some of the latitudes. Both the observations and models show strong correlations between the strength of MOC and MHT at all the latitudes. The corresponding change in MHT for 1 Sv change of MOC strength, in the observations, increases from 0.046 PW in 25 degrees S, 30 degrees S, and 35 degrees S to 0.056 PW across 20 degrees S. A comparison of model-based transports at 358S at the boundaries and in the interior with those from Argo and SSH shows significant differences between them with respect to the contributions in the three segments of the section. In addition, the contributions also vary greatly between the different models. An analysis of the seasonality of MOC in the models and in the observations reveals that MOC anomalies in the models mostly show strong annual cycles at all the latitudes, whereas those derived from Argo and SSH exhibit annual cycles at three latitudes (35 degrees S, 30 degrees S, and to a lesser extent at 25 degrees S) and a semiannual cycle at 20 degrees S.

TI The effects of Antarctic iceberg calving- size distribution in a global climate model SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-OCEANS LA English DT Article ID SHELF-OCEAN INTERACTION; FILCHNER ICE SHELF; SOUTHERN-OCEAN; SEA-ICE; SIMULATION CHARACTERISTICS; INTERACTIVE ICEBERGS; FRESH-WATER; WEDDELL SEA; PART I; SYSTEM AB Icebergs calved from the Antarctic continent act as moving sources of freshwater while drifting in the Southern Ocean. The lifespan of these icebergs strongly depends on their original size during calving. In order to investigate the effects (if any) of the calving size of icebergs on the Southern Ocean, we use a coupled general circulation model with an iceberg component. Iceberg calving length is varied from 62 m up to 2.3 km, which is the typical range used in climate models. Results show that increasing the size of calving icebergs leads to an increase in the westward iceberg freshwater transport around Antarctica. In simulations using larger icebergs, the reduced availability of meltwater in the Amundsen and Bellingshausen Seas suppresses the sea-ice growth in the region. In contrast, the increased iceberg freshwater transport leads to increased sea-ice growth around much of the East Antarctic coastline. These results suggest that the absence of large tabular icebergs with horizontal extent of tens of kilometers in climate models may introduces systematic biases in sea-ice formation, ocean temperatures, and salinities around Antarctica.

TI Impact of the Antarctic bottom water formation on the Weddell Gyre and its northward propagation characteristics in GFDL CM2.1 model SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-OCEANS LA English DT Article ID PACIFIC DECADAL OSCILLATION; SOUTHERN-OCEAN; FRESH-WATER; CLIMATE MODEL; SCOTIA SEA; DEEP-WATER; CIRCULATION; VARIABILITY; ATLANTIC; MECHANISMS AB The impact of Antarctic bottom water (AABW) formation on the Weddell Gyre and its northward propagation characteristics are studied using a 4000 year long control run of the GFDL CM2.1 model as well as sensitivity experiments. In the control run, the AABW cell and Weddell Gyre are highly correlated when the AABW cell leads the Weddell Gyre by several years, with an enhanced AABW cell corresponding to a strengthened Weddell Gyre and vice versa. An additional sensitivity experiment shows that the response of the Weddell Gyre to AABW cell changes is primarily attributed to interactions between the AABW outflow and ocean topography, instead of the surface wind stress curl and freshwater anomalies. As the AABW flows northward, it encounters topography with steep slopes that induce strong downwelling and negative bottom vortex stretching. The anomalous negative bottom vortex stretching induces a cyclonic barotropic stream function over the Weddell Sea, thus leading to an enhanced Weddell Gyre. The AABW cell variations in the control run have significant meridional coherence in density space. Using passive dye tracers, it is found that the slow propagation of AABW cell anomalies south of 35 degrees S corresponds to the slow tracer advection time scale. The dye tracers escape the Weddell Sea through the western limb of the Weddell Gyre and then go northwestward to the Argentine Basin through South Sandwich Trench and Georgia Basin. This slow advection by deep ocean currents determines the AABW cell propagation speed south of 35 degrees S. North of 35 degrees S the propagation speed is determined both by advection in the deep western boundary current and through Kelvin waves.

TI The influence of Pacific Equatorial Water on fish diversity in the southern California Current System SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-OCEANS LA English DT Article ID LONG-TERM TRENDS; OCEAN ACIDIFICATION; TIME-SERIES; VARIABILITY; POPULATIONS; REGION; LARVAE; SHELF AB The California Undercurrent transports Pacific Equatorial Water (PEW) into the Southern California Bight from the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean. PEW is characterized by higher temperatures and salinities, with lower pH, representing a source of potentially corrosive (aragonite, Omega < 1) water to the region. We use ichthyoplankton assemblages near the cores of the California Current and the California Undercurrent to determine whether PEW influenced fish diversity. We use hydrographic data to characterize the interannual and seasonal variability of estimated pH and aragonite saturation with depth. Although there is substantial variability in PEW presence as measured by spice on the 26.25-26.75 isopycnal layer, as well as in pH and aragonite saturation, we found fish diversity to be stable over the decades 1985-1996 and 1999-2011. We detected significant difference in species structure during the 1998 La Nina period, due to reduced species evenness. Species richness due to rare species was higher during the 1997/1998 El Nino compared to the La Nina but the effect on species structure was undetectable. Lack of difference in the species abundance structure in the decade before and after the 1997/1999 ENSO event showed that the assemblage reverted to its former structure following the ENSO perturbation, indicating resilience. While the interdecadal species structure remained stable, the long tail of the distributions shows that species richness increased between the decades consistent with intrusion of warm water with more diverse assemblages into the southern California region.

The typical marine bomb C-14 signal-phase lagged and attenuated relative to atmospheric records-is present in the coral and is consistent with other regional coral records. However, C-14 levels well above what can be attributed to air-sea diffusion alone punctuate this pattern. This anomaly was observed in other Indo-Pacific coral records, but the Guam record is unmatched in magnitude and temporal resolution. The Guam coral Delta C-14 record provided three spikes in 1954-1955, 1956-1957, and 1958-1959 that are superimposed on a normal C-14 record. Relative to mean prebomb levels, the first peak rises an incredible similar to 700 parts per thousand and remained elevated for similar to 1.2 years. A follow up assay with finer resolution increased the peak by similar to 300 parts per thousand. Subsequent spikes were less intense with a rise of similar to 35 and similar to 70 parts per thousand. Each can be linked to thermonuclear testing in the Pacific Proving Grounds at Bikini and Enewetak atolls in Operations Castle (1954), Redwing (1956), and Hardtack I (1958). These C-14 signals can be explained by vaporization of coral reef material in the nuclear fireball, coupled with neutron activation of atmospheric nitrogen (C-14 production), and subsequent absorption of (CO2)-C-14 to form particulate carbonates of close-in fallout. The lag time in reaching Guam and other coral records abroad was tied to ocean surface currents and modeling provided validation of C-14 arrival observations.

TI Phase-coherent microwave-to-optical link with a self-referenced microcomb SO NATURE PHOTONICS LA English DT Article ID MICRORESONATOR FREQUENCY COMBS; CHIP; GENERATION; DISPERSION; RESONATOR; STABILIZATION AB Precise measurements of the frequencies of light waves have become common with mode-locked laser frequency combs(1). Despite their huge success, optical frequency combs currently remain bulky and expensive laboratory devices. Integrated photonic microresonators are promising candidates for comb generators in out-of-the-lab applications, with the potential for reductions in cost, power consumption and size(2). Such advances will significantly impact fields ranging from spectroscopy and trace gas sensing(3) to astronomy(4), communications(5) and atomic time-keeping(6,7). Yet, in spite of the remarkable progress shown over recent years(8-10), microresonator frequency combs ('microcombs') have been without the key function of direct f-2f self-referencing(1), which enables precise determination of the absolute frequency of each comb line. Here, we realize this missing element using a 16.4 GHz microcomb that is coherently broadened to an octave-spanning spectrum and subsequently fully phase-stabilized to an atomic clock. We show phase-coherent control of the comb and demonstrate its low-noise operation. C1 [Del'Haye, Pascal] Natl Phys Lab, Teddington TW11 0LW, Middx, England.

Such examinations can tackle large-scale science questions or give context to detailed single-event studies. However, they are often performed using standard but basic flare detection algorithms relying on arbitrary thresholds. This arbitrariness may lead to important scientific conclusions being drawn from results caused by subjective choices in algorithms rather than the true nature of the Sun. In this paper, we explore the effect of the arbitrary thresholds used in the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) event list and Large Yield RAdiometer (LYRA) Flare Finder algorithms. We find that there is a small but significant relationship between the power law exponent of the GOES flare peak flux frequency distribution and the flare start thresholds of the algorithms. We also find that the power law exponents of these distributions are not stable, but appear to steepen with increasing peak flux. This implies that the observed flare size distribution may not be a power law at all. We show that depending on the true value of the exponent of the flare size distribution, this deviation from a power law may be due to flares missed by the flare detection algorithms. However, it is not possible determine the true exponent from GOES/XRS observations. Additionally we find that the PROBA2/LYRA flare size distributions are artificially steep and clearly non-power law. We show that this is consistent with an insufficient degradation correction. This means that PROBA2/LYRA should not be used for flare statistics or energetics unless degradation is adequately accounted for. However, it can be used to study variations over shorter timescales and for space weather monitoring. C1 [Ryan, D.

TI On the evolutionary advantage of multi-cusped teeth SO JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY INTERFACE LA English DT Article DE contact mechanics; fracture; dental morphology; dental evolution; mammalian origins ID ENAMEL THICKNESS; DENTAL MICROWEAR; MAMMALIAN TEETH; TOOTH BREAKAGE; BITE FORCES; FRACTURE; WEAR; DIET; ADAPTATION; MORPHOLOGY AB A hallmark of mammalian evolution is a progressive complexity in postcanine tooth morphology. However, the driving force for this complexity remains unclear: whether to expand the versatility in diet source, or to bolster tooth structural integrity. In this study, we take a quantitative approach to this question by examining the roles of number, position and height of multiple cusps in determining sustainable bite forces. Our approach is to use an extended finite-element methodology with due provision for step-by-step growth of an embedded crack to determine how fracture progresses with increasing occlusal load. We argue that multi-cusp postcanine teeth are well configured to withstand high bite forces provided that multiple cusps are contacted simultaneously to share the load. However, contact on a single near-wall cusp diminishes the strength. Location of the load points and cusp height, rather than cusp number or radius, are principal governing factors. Given these findings, we conclude that while complex tooth structures can enhance durability, increases in cusp number are more likely to be driven by the demands of food manipulation. Structural integrity of complex teeth is maintained when individual cusps remain sufficiently distant from the side walls and do not become excessively tall relative to tooth width.

TI Characterizing land surface phenology and responses to rainfall in the Sahara desert SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-BIOGEOSCIENCES LA English DT Article ID FORESTS GREEN-UP; VEGETATION PHENOLOGY; LOCUST HABITAT; TIME-SERIES; AFRICA; PRECIPITATION; NDVI; VARIABILITY; MODIS; ECOSYSTEMS AB Land surface phenology (LSP) in the Sahara desert is poorly understood due to the difficulty in detecting subtle variations in vegetation greenness. This study examined the spatial and temporal patterns of LSP and its responses to rainfall seasonality in the Sahara desert. We first generated daily two-band enhanced vegetation index (EVI2) from half-hourly observations acquired by the Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager on board the Meteosat Second Generation series of geostationary satellites from 2006 to 2012. The EVI2 time series was used to retrieve LSP based on the Hybrid Piecewise Logistic Model. We further investigated the associations of spatial and temporal patterns in LSP with those in rainfall seasonality derived from the daily rainfall time series of the Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission. Results show that the spatial shifts in the start of the vegetation growing season generally follow the rainy season onset that is controlled by the summer rainfall regime in the southern Sahara desert. In contrast, the end of the growing season significantly lags the end of the rainy season without any significant dependence. Vegetation growing season can unfold during the dry seasons after onset is triggered during rainy seasons. Vegetation growing season can be as long as 300 days or more in some areas and years. However, the EVI2 amplitude and accumulation across the Sahara region was very low indicating sparse vegetation as expected in desert regions. EVI2 amplitude and accumulated EVI2 strongly depended on rainfall received during the growing season and the preceding dormancy period.

TI Strong regional atmospheric C-14 signature of respired CO2 observed from a tall tower over the midwestern United States SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-BIOGEOSCIENCES LA English DT Article ID SOIL ORGANIC-MATTER; FOSSIL-FUEL CO2; PARTICLE DISPERSION MODEL; NET PRIMARY PRODUCTION; CARBON-DIOXIDE; BOREAL FOREST; RADIOCARBON MEASUREMENTS; INTERANNUAL VARIABILITY; TERRESTRIAL BIOSPHERE; TEMPERATE FOREST AB Radiocarbon in CO2 ((CO2)-C-14) measurements can aid in discriminating between fast (< 1 year) and slower (> 5-10 years) cycling of C between the atmosphere and the terrestrial biosphere due to the 14C disequilibrium between atmospheric and terrestrial C. However, (CO2)-C-14 in the atmosphere is typically much more strongly impacted by fossil fuel emissions of CO2, and, thus, observations often provide little additional constraints on respiratory flux estimates at regional scales. Here we describe a data set of (CO2)-C-14 observations from a tall tower in northern Wisconsin (USA) where fossil fuel influence is far enough removed that during the summer months, the biospheric component of the (CO2)-C-14 budget dominates. We find that the terrestrial biosphere is responsible for a significant contribution to (CO2)-C-14 that is 2-3 times higher than predicted by the Carnegie-Ames-Stanford approach terrestrial ecosystem model for observations made in 2010. This likely includes a substantial contribution from the North American boreal ecoregion, but transported biospheric emissions from outside the model domain cannot be ruled out. The (CO2)-C-14 enhancement also appears somewhat decreased in observations made over subsequent years, suggesting that 2010 may be anomalous. With these caveats acknowledged, we discuss the implications of the observation/ model comparison in terms of possible systematic biases in the model versus short-term anomalies in the observations. Going forward, this isotopic signal could be exploited as an important indicator to better constrain both the long-term carbon balance of terrestrial ecosystems and the short-term impact of disturbance-based loss of carbon to the atmosphere.

The instrument design implements both M-x and M-z mode operation and leverages a novel microelectromechanical system (MEMS) fabricated vapor cell and a custom silicon-on-sapphire (SOS) complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) integrated circuit. The vapor cell has a volume of only 1 mm(3) so that it can be efficiently heated to its operating temperature by a specially designed, low-magnetic-field-generating resistive heater implemented in multiple metal layers of the transparent sapphire substrate of the SOS-CMOS chips. The SOS-CMOS chip also hosts the Helmholtz coil and associated circuitry to stimulate the magnetically sensitive atomic resonance and temperature sensors. The prototype instrument has a total mass of fewer than 500 g and uses less than 1 W of power, while maintaining a sensitivity of 15 pT/root Hz at 1 Hz, comparable to present state-of-the-art absolute magnetometers.

TI Spatial Bayesian hierarchical modeling of precipitation extremes over a large domain SO WATER RESOURCES RESEARCH LA English DT Article DE spatial extremes; composite likelihood; Gaussian copula; Bayesian; large domain; precipitation extremes ID REGIONAL FREQUENCY-ANALYSIS; RUNOFF EXTREMES; LIKELIHOOD; INFERENCE; DEPENDENCE AB We propose a Bayesian hierarchical model for spatial extremes on a large domain. In the data layer a Gaussian elliptical copula having generalized extreme value (GEV) marginals is applied. Spatial dependence in the GEV parameters is captured with a latent spatial regression with spatially varying coefficients. Using a composite likelihood approach, we are able to efficiently incorporate a large precipitation data set, which includes stations with missing data. The model is demonstrated by application to fall precipitation extremes at approximately 2600 stations covering the western United States, -125 degrees E to -100 degrees E longitude and 30 degrees N-50 degrees N latitude. The hierarchical model provides GEV parameters on a 1/8 degrees grid and, consequently, maps of return levels and associated uncertainty. The model results indicate that return levels and their associated uncertainty have a well-defined spatial structure. Maps of return levels provide information about the spatial variations of the risk of extreme precipitation in the western US and is expected to be useful for infrastructure planning.

In this work, we demonstrate highly transparent, mesoporous wood composite via fast extraction of lignin along naturally formed low tortuosity channels followed by fast filling of polymers. The transparent wood displays a high optical transmittance and at the same time a high haze in a broad wavelength range between 400 nm and 1100 nm. With such unique optical properties, the transparent wood composite with cellulose nanofibers can be utilized for a range of optoelectronics, especially for solar cells and wide-angle lighting where light management is crucial to enhance device operation efficiency. We demonstrate that the newly developed transparent wood composite can function as a broad range light management layer and substantially improve the overall energy conversion efficiency by as much as 18% when simply coated with a GaAs thin film solar cell. Our research on wood based light management material provides an attractive platform for future development embracing green, disposable optoelectronic devices with efficient light management.

TI Coupling the multizone airflow and contaminant transport software CONTAM with EnergyPlus using co-simulation SO BUILDING SIMULATION LA English DT Article DE building simulation; co-simulation; CONTAM; coupled thermal, airflow and contaminant modeling; EnergyPlus; multizone modeling ID NATURAL VENTILATION; BUILDING ENERGY; QUALITY; PROGRAM AB Building modelers need simulation tools capable of simultaneously considering building energy use, airflow and indoor air quality (IAQ) to design and evaluate the ability of buildings and their systems to meet today's demanding energy efficiency and IAQ performance requirements. CONTAM is a widely-used multizone building airflow and contaminant transport simulation tool that requires indoor temperatures as input values. EnergyPlus is a prominent whole-building energy simulation program capable of performing heat transfer calculations that require interzone and infiltration airflows as input values. On their own, each tool is limited in its ability to account for thermal processes upon which building airflow may be significantly dependent and vice versa. This paper describes the initial phase of coupling of CONTAM with EnergyPlus to capture the interdependencies between airflow and heat transfer using co-simulation that allows for sharing of data between independently executing simulation tools. The coupling is accomplished based on the Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI) for Co-simulation specification that provides for integration between independently developed tools. A three-zone combined heat transfer/airflow analytical BESTEST case was simulated to verify the co-simulation is functioning as expected, and an investigation of a two-zone, natural ventilation case designed to challenge the coupled thermal/airflow solution methods was performed.

SO MICROSCOPY AND MICROANALYSIS LA English DT Article DE DTSA-II; EDS; microanalysis; SEM; X-ray ID SPECTROMETRY SEM/SDD-EDS; DRIFT DETECTOR; PRECISION; ACCURACY AB Scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive spectrometry has been applied to the analysis of various materials at low-incident beam energies, E-0 <= 5 keV, using peak fitting and following the measured standards/matrix corrections protocol embedded in the National Institute of Standards and Technology Desktop Spectrum Analyzer-II analytical software engine. Low beam energy analysis provides improved spatial resolution laterally and in-depth. The lower beam energy restricts the atomic shells that can be ionized, reducing the number of X-ray peak families available to the analyst. At E-0 = 5 keV, all elements of the periodic table except H and He can be measured. As the beam energy is reduced below 5 keV, elements become inaccessible due to lack of excitation of useful characteristic X-ray peaks. The shallow sampling depth of low beam energy microanalysis makes the technique more sensitive to surface compositional modification due to formation of oxides and other reaction layers. Accurate and precise analysis is possible with the use of appropriate standards and by accumulating high count spectra of unknowns and standards (> 1 million counts integrated from 0.1 keV to E-0).

With the commonly used 50% threshold criterion, the lines consistently appeared larger in the SE images. As the images were acquired simultaneously by an instrument with the capability to operate detectors for both signals at the same time, the differences cannot be explained by the assumption that contamination or drift between images affected the SE, BSE, or LLE images differently. Simulations with JMONSEL, an electron microscope simulator, indicate that the nanometer-scale differences observed on this sample can be explained by the different convolution effects of a beam with finite size on signals with different symmetry (the SE signal's characteristic peak versus the BSE or LLE signal's characteristic step). This effect is too small to explain the >100nm discrepancies that were observed in earlier work on different samples. Additional modeling indicates that those discrepancies can be explained by the much larger sidewall angles of the earlier samples, coupled with the different response of SE versus BSE/LLE profiles to such wall angles.

Commercial magnetometers are accurate and well-characterized for solid and powder samples, but their use with fluid samples is more limited. Here, we describe artifacts which can occur in magnetic measurements of fluid samples and their impact. The most critical problem in the measurement of fluid samples is the dynamic nature of the sample position and size/shape. Methods to reduce these artifacts are also discussed, such as removal of air bubbles and dynamic centering. (C) 2016 Author(s). C1 [Boekelheide, Z.; Dennis, C.

The ground-based observations clearly show a tilted convective core with a so-called bounded weak-echo region that is, locations where precipitation is absent or extremely light at the ground while large amounts of liquid or frozen precipitation are present aloft. The satellite observations in this region show reflectivity profiles that extend all the way to the surface despite the absence of near-surface precipitation: these are here referred to as "ghost echoes." Furthermore, the Ku- and Ka-band profiles exhibit similar slopes, which is a typical sign that the observed power is almost entirely due to multiple scattering. A novel microphysical retrieval that is based on triple-frequency (S-Ku-Ka) observations shows that a dense ice core located between 4 and 14 km with particle sizes exceeding 2.5 cm and integrated ice contents exceeding 7.0 kg m(-2) is the source of the ghost echoes of the signal in the lower layers. The level of confidence of this assessment is strengthened by the availability of the S-band data, which provide the necessary additional constraints to the radar retrieval that is based on DPR data. This study shows not only that multiple-scattering contributions may become predominant at Ka already very high up in the atmosphere but also that they play a key role at Ku band within the layers close to the surface. As a result, extreme caution must be paid even in the interpretation of Ku-based retrievals (e.g., the TRMM PR dataset or any DPR retrievals that are based on the assumption that Ku band is not affected by multiple scattering) when examining extreme surface rain rates that occur in the presence of deep dense ice layers.

TI Discrimination between Winter Precipitation Types Based on Spectral-Bin Microphysical Modeling SO JOURNAL OF APPLIED METEOROLOGY AND CLIMATOLOGY LA English DT Article ID FREEZING-RAIN; NONDIMENSIONAL PARAMETER; ICE-NUCLEATION; MELTING LAYER; FORECASTS; EVENTS; RADAR; LOCATIONS; PELLETS; STORMS AB A new approach for distinguishing precipitation types at the surface, the spectral bin classifier (SBC), is presented. This algorithm diagnoses six categories of precipitation: rain (RA), snow (SN), a rain snow mix (RASN), freezing rain (FZRA), ice pellets (PL), and a freezing rain ice pellet mix (FZRAPL). It works by calculating the liquid-water fraction f(w) for a spectrum of falling hydrometeors given a prescribed temperature T and relative humidity profile. Demonstrations of the SBC output show that it provides reasonable estimates of f(w) of various-sized hydrometeors for the different categories of precipitation. The SBC also faithfully represents the horizontal distribution of precipitation type inasmuch as the model analyses and surface observations are consistent with each other. When applied to a collection of observed soundings associated with RA, SN, FZRA, and PL, the classifier has probabilities of detection (PODs) that range from 62.4% to 98.3%. The PODs do decrease when the effects of model uncertainty are accounted for. This decrease is modest for RA, SN, and PL but is large for FZRA as a result of the fact that this form of precipitation is very sensitive to small changes in the thermal profile. The effects of the choice of the degree of riming above the melting layer, the drop size distribution, and the assumed temperature at which ice nucleates are also examined. Recommendations on how to mitigate all forms of uncertainty are discussed. These include the use of dual-polarized radar observations, incorporating output from the microphysical parameterization scheme, and the use of ensemble model forecasts.

The tensile specimens were heat treated and tensile tests were conducted until failure. The properties measured were yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, elastic modulus, and elongation. Statistical analysis revealed that between-participant variability for yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, and elastic modulus values were significantly higher (up to four times) than typical within-participant variations. Only between-participant and within-participant variability were both similar for elongation. A scanning electron microscope was used to examine one tensile specimen for fractography. The fracture surface does not have many secondary cracks or other features that would reduce the mechanical properties. In fact, the features largely consist of microvoid coalescence and are entirely consistent with ductile failure.

Using data from more than 22 y of sampling commercially valuable stone crabs (genus Menippe (Say, 1819)) in Tampa Bay, FL, we defined size-specific interannual and intra-annual patterns in ovarian development and spawning; explored relationships between the molting cycle and intra-annual patterns; and identified the influence of water temperature on those interrelationships. Frequency of gravid females (frequency-gravid) seemed to shift in multiyear cycles but frequency of ovigerous females (frequency-ovigerous) did not. Frequency-gravid and frequency-ovigerous increased with size class except in the largest females. Interannual variation in frequency-ovigerous was the product of multiple patterns differing principally between size-class-70 and -80 females and size-class-90 and -100+ females. Ovarian development, spawning, and molting in females of size classes 20 through 50 occurred principally during peak temperatures in August and September. In females of size classes 70 through 100+, ovarian development, which was tightly and inversely linked to molting, occurred principally from February through August and spawning, which was influenced by both water temperature and molting, occurred principally from April through September. Size-class-60 females exhibited a mosaic of juvenile and adult patterns. Ovarian development and spawning ceased in all size classes when temperature decreased to approximately 25 degrees C during October. Other specific temperatures or narrow temperature ranges were associated with additional shifts in reproduction and molting. Decreases through the years in frequency-ovigerous in females in size classes greater than or equal to 70, and particularly in those in size class 100+, concomitant with increases in frequency-ovigerous in females in size classes 50 and 60, and coupled with possible decreases in size at maturity and minimum spawning size, suggest fisheries selection. Shortening harvesting season by 6 wk during spring would protect females during the first spawning pulse in spring.

To date there has been no established evidence that a single species of beaked whale might produce more than one type of FM pulse. In 2014 a group of Blainville's beaked whales (Mesoplodon densirostris) were sighted off of Southern California; recordings included FM pulses with significant increases in peak frequency, center frequency, and -10 dB bandwidth relative to FM pulses previously attributed to this species. This research suggests there may be greater variation in received beaked whale FM pulses than previously understood.

It has prolific applications ranging from simple laser pointers to laser inertial confinement fusion systems. Recently, type IV high-pressure KDP crystal sheets with a monoclinic crystal phase having centrosymmetric properties have been observed. However, it was found that this new crystal phase is highly unstable under ambient conditions. We report ambient-condition growth of one-dimensional, self-assembled, single-crystalline KDP hexagonal hollow/solid-core microstructures that have a molecular structure and symmetry identical to the type IV KDP monoclinic crystal that was previously found to exist only at extremely high pressures (>1.6 GPa). Furthermore, we report highly efficient bulk optical second harmonic generation (SHG) from these ambient condition-grown single-crystalline microstructures, even though they have a highly centrosymmetric crystal phase. However, fundamental physics dictates that a bulk optical medium with a significant second-order nonlinear susceptibility supporting SHG must have noncentrosymmetric properties. Laue diffraction analysis reveals a weak symmetry-breaking twin-crystal lattice that, in conjunction with tight confinement of the light field by the tubular structure, is attributed to the significant SHG even with sample volumes <0.001 mm(3). A robust polarization-preserving effect is also observed, raising the possibility of advanced optical technological applications.

Jason TI Co-benefits of global and regional greenhouse gas mitigation for US air quality in 2050 SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID ORGANIC AEROSOL FORMATION; FINE PARTICULATE MATTER; EASTERN UNITED-STATES; CMAQ MODELING SYSTEM; CLIMATE-CHANGE; HEALTH-BENEFITS; OZONE; EMISSIONS; SENSITIVITY; IMPACTS AB Policies to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions will not only slow climate change but can also have ancillary benefits of improved air quality. Here we examine the co-benefits of both global and regional GHG mitigation for US air quality in 2050 at fine resolution, using dynamical downscaling methods, building on a previous global co-benefits study (West et al., 2013). The co-benefits for US air quality are quantified via two mechanisms: through reductions in co-emitted air pollutants from the same sources and by slowing climate change and its influence on air quality, following West et al. (2013). Additionally, we separate the total co-benefits into contributions from domestic GHG mitigation vs. mitigation in foreign countries. We use the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model to dynamically downscale future global climate to the regional scale and the Sparse Matrix Operator Kernel Emissions (SMOKE) program to directly process global anthropogenic emissions to the regional domain, and we provide dynamical boundary conditions from global simulations to the regional Community Multi-scale Air Quality (CMAQ) model. The total co-benefits of global GHG mitigation from the RCP4.5 scenario compared with its reference are estimated to be higher in the eastern US (ranging from 0.6 to 1.0 mu gm(3)/than the west (0-0.4 mu gm(3))for fine particulate matter (PM2.5), with an average of 0.47 mu gm 3 over the US; for O-3, the total co-benefits are more uniform at 2-5 ppb, with a US average of 3.55 ppb. Comparing the two mechanisms of cobenefits, we find that reductions in co-emitted air pollutants have a much greater influence on both PM2.5 (96% of the total co-benefits) and O-3 (89% of the total) than the second co-benefits mechanism via slowing climate change, consistent with West et al. (2013). GHG mitigation from foreign countries contributes more to the US O-3 reduction (76% of the total) than that from domestic GHG mitigation only (24 %), highlighting the importance of global methane reductions and the intercontinental transport of air pollutants. For PM2.5, the benefits of domestic GHG control are greater (74% of total). Since foreign contributions to co-benefits can be substantial, with foreign O-3 benefits much larger than those from domestic reductions, previous studies that focus on local or regional co-benefits may greatly underestimate the total co-benefits of global GHG reductions. We conclude that the US can gain significantly greater domestic air quality co-benefits by engaging with other nations to control GHGs.

TI Parameterization of single-scattering albedo (SSA) and absorption Angstrom exponent (AAE) with EC / OC for aerosol emissions from biomass burning SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID BROWN CARBON ABSORPTION; OPTICAL-PROPERTIES; ORGANIC AEROSOL; COMPREHENSIVE CHARACTERIZATION; LABORATORY MEASUREMENTS; AIRCRAFT INSTRUMENT; LIGHT-ABSORPTION; SOLAR-RADIATION; BLACK CARBON; SPECTROSCOPY AB Single-scattering albedo (SSA) and absorption ngstrm expone (AAE) are two critical parameters in determining the impact of absorbing aerosol on the Earth's radiative balance. Aerosol emitted by biomass burning represent a significant fraction of absorbing aerosol globally, but it remains difficult to accurately predict SSA and AAE for biomass burning aerosol. Black carbon (BC), brown carbon (BrC), and non-absorbing coatings all make substantial contributions to the absorption coefficient of biomass burning aerosol. SSA and AAE cannot be directly predicted based on fuel type because they depend strongly on burn conditions. It has been suggested that SSA can be effectively parameterized via the modified combustion efficiency (MCE) of a biomass burning event and that this would be useful because emission factors for CO and CO2, from which MCE can be calculated, are available for a large number of fuels. Here we demonstrate, with data from the FLAME-4 experiment, that for a wide variety of globally relevant biomass fuels, over a range of combustion conditions, parameterizations of SSA and AAE based on the elemental carbon (EC) to organic carbon (OC) mass ratio are quantitatively superior to parameterizations based on MCE. We show that the EC / OC ratio and the ratio of EC / (EC + OC) both have significantly better correlations with SSA than MCE. Furthermore, the relationship of EC / (EC + OC) with SSA is linear. These improved parameterizations are significant because, similar to MCE, emission factors for EC (or black carbon) and OC are available for a wide range of biomass fuels. Fitting SSA with MCE yields correlation coefficients (Pearson's r) of similar to 0.65 at the visible wavelengths of 405, 532, and 660 nm while fitting SSA with EC / OC or EC / (EC + OC) yields a Pearson's r of 0.94-0.97 at these same wavelengths. The strong correlation coefficient at 405 nm (r = 0.97) suggests that parameterizations based on EC / OC or EC / (EC + OC) have good predictive capabilities even for fuels in which brown carbon absorption is significant. Notably, these parameterizations are effective for emissions from Indonesian peat, which have very little black carbon but significant brown carbon (SSA = 0.990 +/- 0.001 at 532 and 660 nm, SSA = 0.937 +/- 0.011 at 405 nm). Finally, we demonstrate that our parameterization based on EC / (EC + OC) accurately predicts SSA during the first few hours of plume aging with data from Yokelson et al. (2009) gathered during a biomass burning event in the Yucatasn Peninsula of Mexico. C1 [Pokhrel, Rudra P.; Murphy, Shane M.] Univ Wyoming, Dept Atmospher Sci, Laramie, WY 82071 USA.

We conduct correlation analyses between the GOSAT biases and simultaneously retrieved auxiliary parameters. We use these correlations to bias correct the GOSAT data, removing these spurious correlations. Data from the Total Carbon Column Observing Network (TC-CON) were used as reference values for this regression analysis. To evaluate the effectiveness of this correction method, the uncorrected/corrected GOSAT data were compared to independent XCO2 and XCH4 data derived from aircraft measurements taken for the Comprehensive Observation Network for TRace gases by AIrLiner (CONTRAIL) project, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the US Department of Energy (DOE), the National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES), the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), the HIAPER Pole-to-Pole observations (HIPPO) program, and the GOSAT validation aircraft observation campaign over Japan. These comparisons demonstrate that the empirically derived bias correction improves the agreement between GOSAT XCO2/XCH4 and the aircraft data. Finally, we present spatial distributions and temporal variations of the derived GOSAT biases.

TI Charging El Nino with off-equatorial westerly wind events SO CLIMATE DYNAMICS LA English DT Article DE El Nino; ENSO; Warm water volume; Westerly wind event; Equatorially trapped wave theory ID MADDEN-JULIAN OSCILLATION; TROPICAL PACIFIC; LA-NINA; ENSO; MODEL; WAVES; TERMINATION; DYNAMICS; GENESIS; BURSTS AB The buildup of the warm water in the equatorial Pacific prior to an El Nino event is considered a necessary precondition for event development, while the event initiation is thought to be triggered by bursts of westerly wind. However, in contrast to the view that warm water slowly builds up years before an El Nino event, the volume of warm water in the equatorial Pacific doubled in the first few months of 2014 reaching values that were consistent with the warm water buildup prior to the extreme 1997/1998 El Nino. It is notable that this dramatic warm water buildup coincided with a series of westerly wind bursts in the western tropical Pacific. This study uses linear wave theory to determine the effect of equatorial and off-equatorial westerly wind events on the Warm Water Volume (WWV) of the Pacific. It is found that westerly wind events have a significant impact on equatorial WWV with all events initially acting to increase WWV, which highlights why WWEs are so effective at exciting ENSO. In fact, our results suggest that the single westerly wind burst, which peaked in the first few days of March in 2014, was largely responsible for the coincident dramatic observed increase in WWV. How long the equatorial region remains charged, however, depends on the latitude of the westerly wind event. For instance, a single equatorially symmetric westerly wind event ultimately acts to discharge WWV via the reflection of upwelling Rossby waves, which makes it difficult to more gradually build WWV given multiple WWEs. In contrast, when the wind events occur off the equator, the subsequent discharge is significantly damped and in some cases the equatorial region can hold the heat charge for the duration of the simulations (similar to 6 months). As such, off-equatorial WWEs can not only charge equatorial region WWV in the short term, but are also a mechanism to more gradually build equatorial region WWV in the longer term. Given that these off-equatorial WWEs have a relatively small projection onto the equatorial Kelvin wave, we argue these events can be considered as a mechanism to modulate the background state in which ENSO operates.

One ensemble consists of 3-member hindcasts launched every year since 1961 while the other ensemble benefits from 9 members but with start dates only every 5 years. Analysis includes anomaly correlation coefficients and root mean square errors computed against several reanalysis and gridded observational fields, as well as against the nudged simulation used to produce the hindcasts initial conditions. The last skill measure gives an upper limit of the predictability horizon one can expect in the forecast system, while the comparison with different datasets highlights uncertainty when assessing the actual skill. Results provide a potential prediction skill (verification against the nudged simulation) beyond the linear trend of the order of 10 years ahead at the global scale, but essentially associated with non-linear radiative forcings, in particular from volcanoes. At regional scale, we obtain 1 year in the tropical band, 10 years at midlatitudes in the North Atlantic and North Pacific, and 5 years at tropical latitudes in the North Atlantic, for both sea surface temperature (SST) and upper-ocean heat content. Actual prediction skill (verified against observational or reanalysis data) is overall more limited and less robust. Even so, large actual skill is found in the extratropical North Atlantic for SST and in the tropical to subtropical North Pacific for upper-ocean heat content. Results are analyzed with respect to the specific dynamics of the model and the way it is influenced by the nudging. The interplay between initialization and internal modes of variability is also analyzed for sea surface salinity. The study illustrates the importance of two key ingredients both necessary for the success of future coordinated decadal prediction exercises, a high frequency of start dates is needed to achieve robust statistical significance, and a large ensemble size is required to increase the signal to noise ratio.

It has 22 channels and measures the microwave radiation at either quasi-vertical or quasi-horizontal polarization from the Earth's atmosphere. The ATMS scanning reflector is made of beryllium coated with gold and can have an emission due to the surface roughness. During prelaunch phase, an estimate of the reflector emissivity was not explored. In this paper, a new methodology is developed to assess the antenna emission from the ATMS pitch-over observations. It is found that the antenna emission is significant and dominates the scan-angle-dependent features in the ATMS antenna temperatures. Retrieved emissivity from K-to G-bands ranges from 0.002 to 0.006. An error model was also developed to assess the impact of antenna emissivity to calibration accuracy of antenna temperature products. Simulation results show that the calibration error is scene temperature dependent and can be as large as 2.5 K for space view. C1 [Yang, Hu] Univ Maryland, College Pk, MD 20742 USA.

TI Application of AMSR-E and AMSR2 Low-Frequency Channel Brightness Temperature Data for Hurricane Wind Retrievals SO IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON GEOSCIENCE AND REMOTE SENSING LA English DT Article DE Hurricane; radiometer; passive microwave remote sensing; wind retrievals ID SYNTHETIC-APERTURE RADAR; BAND POLARIMETRIC RADAR; SEA-SURFACE; POLARIZATION SAR; SPEED RETRIEVAL; OCEAN SURFACE; MICROWAVE RADIOMETER; VECTOR WINDS; MODEL; ROUGHNESS AB We present a method to retrieve wind speeds in hurricanes from spaceborne passive microwave radiometer data. Brightness temperature (TB) observations acquired at the 6.9-GHz horizontal polarization channel by the AMSR-E and AMSR2 onboard the Earth Observing System Aqua and Global Change Observation Mission-Water 1 satellites are selected for wind retrieval due to the fact that the signal at this frequency is sensitive to high wind speeds but less sensitive to rain scatter than those acquired at other higher frequency channels. The AMSR-E and AMSR2 observations of 53 hurricanes between 2002 and 2014 are collected and collocated with stepped-frequency microwave radiometer (SFMR) measurements. Based on the small slope approximation/small perturbation method model and an ocean surface roughness spectrum, the wind speeds are retrieved from the TB data and validated against the SFMR measurements. The statistical comparison of the entire data set shows that the bias and root-mean-square error (RMSE) of the retrieved wind speeds are 1.11 and 4.34 m/s, respectively, which suggests that the proposed method can obtain high wind speeds under hurricane conditions. Two case studies show that the wind speed retrieval bias and RMSE are 1.08 and 3.93 m/s for Hurricane Earl and 0.09 and 3.23 m/s for Hurricane Edouard, respectively. The retrieved wind speeds from the AMSR-E and AMSR2 continuous three-day observations clearly show the process of hurricane intensification and weakening.

TI Spectral Processing for Step Scanning Phased-Array Radars SO IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON GEOSCIENCE AND REMOTE SENSING LA English DT Article DE Ground clutter filtering; phased-array radar ( PAR); spectral processing; weather radar ID SIGNALS AB On phased-array radars, scanning is done by stepping the beam from one direction to the next direction and dwelling long enough at each direction to achieve acceptable errors of estimates. Combining data from the three directions is suggested to obtain superresolution similar to that available on the national network of weather radar (Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler or WSR-88D). Spectral analysis of such data is addressed, and it is demonstrated that the Doppler spectra of simply concatenated time series have very strong sidebands due to the discontinuity of the signals from the three beam positions. This artifact degrades the performance of the spectral clutter filters and other methods that rely on spectral processing to enhance the weather signal. Special adjustments of the signals at each range location before concatenating (splicing) are proposed to mitigate the effects of discontinuities in time and thus improve clutter filtering. The adjustment is such that the total information contained in the signal can be preserved in subsequent processing. Spectral quality of the concatenated signals is quantified via results from simulations. Samples of spectra obtained with the National Weather Radar Testbed are presented to substantiate the predictions. A ground clutter detector/filter accepted by the National Weather Service is applied to the conditioned time series data, and the ensuing fields of reflectivity factor and Doppler velocity are compared to the fields from which clutter had not been removed.

This paper retrieved and compared land surface phenology from observations acquired by the Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager (SEVIRI) onboard geostationary satellites and the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on polar-orbiting satellites over the Congo Basin. To achieve this, we first retrieved canopy greenness cycles (CGCs) and their transition timing from two-band enhanced vegetation index (EVI2) derived from SEVIRI and MODIS data between 2006 and 2013. We then assessed the influences of SEVIRI and MODIS data quality on the reconstruction of the EVI2 temporal trajectory, the detection of the CGC onset and end timing, and the total number of successful CGC retrievals. The significance of influences was determined using the one-tailed two-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The results indicate that diurnal SEVIRI observations greatly increased the probability of capturing cloud-free daily EVI2 in the rainforest-dominated region of the Congo Basin, where the proportion of good quality (PGQ) observations during a CGC was up to 80% higher than that from MODIS. As a result, the double annual CGCs of the Congo Basin rainforests were well identified from SEVIRI but sparsely detected from MODIS, whereas the single annual CGC in the savanna-dominated northern and southern Congo Basin was successfully retrieved from both SEVIRI and MODIS. Moreover, the decreases of PGQ in an EVI2 time series were found to significantly increase the uncertainties of retrieved phenological timings and increase the probabilities of CGC retrieval failures.

TI Intercomparison of Unmanned Aircraftborne and Mobile Mesonet Atmospheric Sensors SO JOURNAL OF ATMOSPHERIC AND OCEANIC TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article ID TORNADOES EXPERIMENT; VERIFICATION; ROTATION; VORTEX2; ORIGINS; SYSTEM AB Results are presented from an intercomparison of temperature, humidity, and wind velocity sensors of the Tempest unmanned aircraft system (UAS) and the National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) mobile mesonet (NSSL-MM). Contemporaneous evaluation of sensor performance was facilitated by mounting the Tempest wing with attached sensors to the NSSL-MM instrument rack such that the Tempest and NSSL-MM sensors could collect observations within a nearly identical airstream. This intercomparison was complemented by wind tunnel simulations designed to evaluate the impact of the mobile mesonet vehicle on the observed wind velocity. The intercomparison revealed strong correspondence between the temperature and relative humidity (RH) data collected by the Tempest and the NSSL-MM with differences generally within sensor accuracies. Larger RH differences were noted in the presence of heavy precipitation; however, despite the exposure of the Tempest temperature and humidity sensor to the airstream, there was no evidence of wet bulbing within precipitation. Wind tunnel simulations revealed that the simulated winds at the location of the NSSL-MM wind monitor were similar to 4% larger than the expected winds due to the acceleration of the flow over the vehicle. Simulated vertical velocity exceeded 1 m s(-1) for tunnel inlet speeds typical of a vehicle moving at highway speeds. However, the theoretical noncosine reduction in winds that should result from the impact of vertical velocity on the laterally mounted wind monitor was found to be negligible across the simulations. Comparison of the simulated and observed results indicates a close correspondence, provided the crosswind component of the flow is small.

This first implementation, the Community Global OSSE Package (CGOP), is for short- to medium-range global numerical weather prediction applications. The CGOP is based on a new mesoscale global nature run produced by NASA using the 7-km cubed sphere version of the Goddard Earth Observing System, version 5 (GEOS-5), atmospheric general circulation model and the January 2015 operational version of the NOAA global data assimilation (DA) system. CGOP includes procedures to simulate the full suite of observing systems used operationally in the global DA system, including conventional in situ, satellite-based radiance, and radio occultation observations. The methodology of adding a new proposed observation type is documented and illustrated with examples of current interest. The CGOP is designed to evolve, both to improve its realism and to keep pace with the advance of operational systems. C1 [Boukabara, Sid-Ahmed; Kumar, V.

A 1D model is used to examine the impact of raindrop evaporation on the evolution of the initial raindrop size distribution (DSD), the resulting reflectivity (Z), and differential reflectivity (ZDR) and surface rain rates. Raindrop evaporation leads to a decrease of Z and an increase of Z(DR) toward the surface because of the depletion of small raindrops that evaporate first and thus enhance the mean raindrop size. The latter effect, however, can be reduced because of the increasing temperature toward the surface and may even lead to a decrease of Z(DR) toward the surface. Two events with significant rain evaporation, observed simultaneously by a polarimetric X-band radar and a K-band Micro Rain Radar (MRR), offer quite detailed insight into the evaporation process. During the first event, which exhibits an initial Z(DR) > 1.5 dB in the upper rain column, raindrops undergo relatively weak evaporation as deduced from the decrease of the small raindrop fraction observed by the MRR. The second event is characterized by a lower initial Z(DR) < 0.5 dB with all raindrops evaporating before reaching the ground. A retrieval scheme for estimating the evaporation-related cooling rate and surface precipitation from polarimetric radar observations below the bright band is derived based on MRR observations. The algorithm is then used to simulate polarimetric X-band radar observations, which might mitigate uncertainties in the surface rainfall retrievals due to evaporation at far distances from the radars and in the case of beam blocking.

TI A Helmholtz Energy Equation of State for Sulfur Dioxide SO JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL AND ENGINEERING DATA LA English DT Article ID VAPOR-LIQUID-EQUILIBRIUM; THERMODYNAMIC FUNCTIONS; BINARY-MIXTURES; DIMETHYL ETHER; CRITICAL-POINT; PRESSURE; SYSTEMS; TEMPERATURES; HEAT; VAPORIZATION AB A Helmholtz energy equation of state with independent variables of temperature and density was developed for sulfur dioxide (SO2) based on thermodynamic property data from the literature. The equation of state is valid from the triple-point temperature of 197.7 to 525 K, with pressures up to 35 MPa and densities up to 25.4 mol.dm(-3). The uncertainties in density of the equation of state are 0.1% in the liquid phase, 0.25% in the vapor phase, and 1% in the critical region. The uncertainty in vapor pressure is 0.2% and the uncertainty in saturated liquid density is 0.2% below 410 K. The uncertainty in isobaric heat capacity is 2% between 200 and 290 K. In the critical region, the uncertainties are higher for all properties except for vapor pressure. The behavior of the equation of state is correct not only within the region of validity, but also at high temperatures and pressures, and far below the triple-point temperature.

TI The Transient Response of Southern Ocean Circulation to Geothermal Heating in a Global Climate Model SO JOURNAL OF CLIMATE LA English DT Article ID ANTARCTIC CIRCUMPOLAR CURRENT; MERIDIONAL OVERTURNING CIRCULATION; CORE-II SIMULATIONS; SEA-ICE; ABYSSAL OCEAN; DEEP-OCEAN; DRAKE PASSAGE; EARTH-SYSTEM; WATER MASSES; BOTTOM WATER AB Model and observational studies have concluded that geothermal heating significantly alters the global overturning circulation and the properties of the widely distributed Antarctic Bottom Water. Here two distinct geothermal heat flux datasets are tested under different experimental designs in a fully coupled model that mimics the control run of a typical Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) climate model. The regional analysis herein reveals that bottom temperature and transport changes, due to the inclusion of geothermal heating, are propagated throughout the water column, most prominently in the Southern Ocean, with the background density structure and major circulation pathways acting as drivers of these changes. While geothermal heating enhances Southern Ocean abyssal overturning circulation by 20%-50%, upwelling of warmer deep waters and cooling of upper ocean waters within the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) region decrease its transport by 3-5 Sv (1 Sv = 10(6) m(3) s (1)). The transient responses in regional bottom temperature increases exceed 0.1 degrees C. The large-scale features that are shown to transport anomalies far from their geothermal source all exist in the Southern Ocean. Such features include steeply sloping isopycnals, weak abyssal stratification, voluminous southward flowing deep waters and exported bottom waters, the ACC, and the polar gyres. Recently the Southern Ocean has been identified as a prime region for deep ocean warming; geothermal heating should be included in climate models to ensure accurate representation of these abyssal temperature changes.

TI Past and Projected Changes in Western North Pacific Tropical Cyclone Exposure SO JOURNAL OF CLIMATE LA English DT Article ID TYPHOON TRACKS; FUTURE CHANGES; INTERNAL VARIABILITY; DECADAL VARIABILITY; PASSAGE FREQUENCY; CLUSTER-ANALYSIS; CLIMATE MODELS; SIMULATIONS; CMIP5; INTENSITY AB The average latitude where tropical cyclones (TCs) reach their peak intensity has been observed to be shifting poleward in some regions over the past 30 years, apparently in concert with the independently observed expansion of the tropical belt. This poleward migration is particularly well observed and robust in the western North Pacific Ocean (WNP). Such a migration is expected to cause systematic changes, both increases and decreases, in regional hazard exposure and risk, particularly if it persists through the present century. Here, it is shown that the past poleward migration in the WNP has coincided with decreased TC exposure in the region of the Philippine and South China Seas, including the Marianas, the Philippines, Vietnam, and southern China, and increased exposure in the region of the East China Sea, including Japan and its Ryukyu Islands, the Korea Peninsula, and parts of eastern China. Additionally, it is shown that projections of WNP TCs simulated by, and downscaled from, an ensemble of numerical models from phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) demonstrate a continuing poleward migration into the present century following the emissions projections of the representative concentration pathway 8.5 (RCP8.5). The projected migration causes a shift in regional TC exposure that is very similar in pattern and relative amplitude to the past observed shift. In terms of regional differences in vulnerability and resilience based on past TC exposure, the potential ramifications of these future changes are significant. Questions of attribution for the changes are discussed in terms of tropical belt expansion and Pacific decadal sea surface temperature variability.

The east deserts (similar to 35 degrees-55 degrees N, similar to 45 degrees-75 degrees E) have a summer precipitation maximum, and the west deserts (similar to 35 degrees-55 degrees N, similar to 45 degrees-75 degrees E) have a winter-spring precipitation maximum. A new high-resolution (50 km atmosphere-land) global coupled climate model is run with the Tian Shan removed to determine whether these mountains are responsible for the climatological east-west differentiation of AEA. Multicentennial simulations for the Control and NoTianshan runs highlight statistically significant effects of the Tian Shan. Overall, the Tian Shan are found to enhance the precipitation seasonality gradient across AEA, mostly through altering the east deserts. The Tian Shan dramatically change the precipitation seasonality of the Taklimakan Desert directly to its east (the driest part of AEA) by blocking west winter precipitation, enhancing subsidence over this region, and increasing east summer precipitation. The Tian Shan increase east summer precipitation through two mechanisms: 1) orographic precipitation, which is greatest on the eastern edge of the Tian Shan in summer, and 2) remote enhancement of the East Asian summer monsoon through alteration of the larger-scale seasonal mean atmospheric circulation. The decrease in east winter precipitation also generates remote warming of the Altai and Kunlun Shan, mountains northeast and southeast of the Tian Shan, respectively, due to reduction of snow cover and corresponding albedo decrease.

TI Modulation of Daily Rainfall in Southern Vietnam by the Madden-Julian Oscillation and Convectively Coupled Equatorial Waves SO JOURNAL OF CLIMATE LA English DT Article ID SUMMER INTRASEASONAL OSCILLATION; SYSTEM VERSION 2; MJO; PRECIPITATION; MONSOON; MODEL; TEMPERATURE; SEASONALITY; VARIABILITY; PREDICTION AB Rainfall extremes have a large socioeconomic relevance for southern Vietnam. More than 30 million people live in this low-lying, flood-prone region in Southeast Asia. In this study the influence of the Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO) and convectively coupled equatorial waves on the modulation of daily rainfall during the rainy season (May-October) is evaluated and quantified using an extensive station database and the gridded Asian Precipitation-Highly Resolved Observational Data Integration Toward Evaluation of Water Resources (APHRODITE) product for different phases of the equatorial waves. The MJO, Kelvin, and equatorial Rossby (ER) waves significantly modulate daily rainfall in Vietnam south of 16 degrees N. The MJO shows the most coherent signals across the region, followed by ER waves, whose influence is strongest in central Vietnam; Kelvin waves only affect the southern parts of Vietnam. For all waves, the frequency of occurrence of intense daily rainfall larger than 25 mm is significantly enhanced during wet phases, whereas the magnitude of rainfall anomalies is related to the wave's amplitude only in the MJO and ER cases. A novel wave interference diagram reveals strong positive interferences of dry and wet anomalies when the MJO occurs concurrently with Kelvin and ER waves. In terms of causes of rainfall anomalies, the waves modulate tropospheric moisture convergence over the region, but a strong influence on the depth of the monsoon flow and the vertical wind shear is discernible from radiosonde data only for the MJO. The results suggest new opportunities for submonthly prediction of dry and wet spells in Indochina.

The ISCCP tracking dataset covers the period 1984-2006. Only systems with lifetimes greater than or equal to 1 day that were moving predominantly eastward or westward are considered, with splits and merges combined into larger extended convective systems. The life cycle variables are lifetime (duration), maximum area, and minimum cloud-top temperature. These are compared to each other and to the speed of longitudinal motion. Distributions and relationships between the life cycle variables are similar to previous studies based on single-day lifetimes, but the current study is globally extensive (all longitudes at lower and middle latitudes) and multidecadal, which allows extension of such results to rarer, larger, and longer-lived convective systems than previous work. Velocity distributions were monomodal with tails skewed in the direction of the zonal mean wind, being almost purely eastward in the midlatitudes but nearly symmetric in both directions with a small westward bias in the tropics. Representative life cycles for each geographical region are formed by averaging together systems with similar lifetimes. These composite life cycles show that, except for the first and last days, the daily evolution of most system variables exhibits little variation during the average multiday convective life cycle, although the cloud area goes through one cycle of expansion and contraction in a lifetime.

The anomalous equatorial zonal transport is controlled by the concavity of anomalous thermocline meridional structure across the equator. During the developing phase of ENSO, opposite zonal transport anomalies form in the westerncentral and central-eastern equatorial Pacific, respectively. Both are driven by the equatorial thermocline anomalies in response to zonal wind anomalies over the western-central equatorial ocean. At this stage, the anomalous zonal transport in the east enhances ENSO growth through zonal SST advection. In the mature phase of ENSO, off-equatorial thermocline depth anomalies become more dominant in the eastern Pacific because of the reflection of equatorial signals at the eastern boundary. As a result, the meridional concavity of the thermocline anomalies is reversed in the east. This change reverses zonal transport rapidly in the central-to-eastern equatorial Pacific, joining with the existing reversed zonal transport anomalies farther to the west, and forms a basinwide transport reversal throughout the equatorial Pacific. This basinwide transport reversal weakens the ENSO SST anomalies by reversed advection. More importantly, the reversed zonal transport reduces the existing zonal tilting of the equatorial thermocline and weakens its feedback to wind anomalies effectively. This basinwide reversal is built in at the peak phase of ENSO as an oceanic control on the evolution of both El Nino and La Nina events. The reversed zonal transport anomaly after the mature phase weakens El Nino in the eastern Pacific more efficiently than it weakens La Nina.

Part II: Predictive Skill SO JOURNAL OF CLIMATE LA English DT Article ID SEA-SURFACE TEMPERATURE; LA-NINA EVENTS; EL-NINO; PRECIPITATION ANOMALIES; CLIMATE PREDICTION; MONSOON; BRAZIL; VARIABILITY; PACIFIC; URUGUAY AB Potential and real predictive skill of the frequency of extreme rainfall in southeastern South America for the December-February season are evaluated in this paper, finding evidence indicating that mechanisms of climate variability at one time scale contribute to the predictability at another scale; that is, taking into account the interference of different potential sources of predictability at different time scales increases the predictive skill. Part I of this study suggested that a set of daily atmospheric circulation regimes, or weather types, was sensitive to these cross-time scale interferences, conducive to the occurrence of extreme rainfall events in the region, and could be used as a potential predictor. At seasonal scale, a combination of those weather types indeed tends to outperform all the other candidate predictors explored (i.e., sea surface temperature patterns, phases of the Madden-Julian oscillation, and combinations of both). Spatially averaged Kendall's tau improvements of 43% for the potential predictability and 23% for real-time predictions are attained with respect to standard models considering sea surface temperature fields alone. A new subseasonal-to-seasonal predictive methodology for extreme rainfall events is proposed based on probability forecasts of seasonal sequences of these weather types. The cross-validated real-time skill of the new probabilistic approach, as measured by the hit score and the Heidke skill score, is on the order of twice that associated with climatological values. The approach is designed to offer useful subseasonal-to-seasonal climate information to decision-makers interested not only in how many extreme events will happen in the season but also in how, when, and where those events will probably occur.

TI Simulated Response of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation to Climate Change SO JOURNAL OF CLIMATE LA English DT Article ID KUROSHIO-OYASHIO EXTENSION; SEA-SURFACE TEMPERATURE; NORTH PACIFIC; SST ANOMALIES; ATMOSPHERIC CIRCULATION; COUPLED MODELS; PART I; VARIABILITY; OCEAN; ENSO AB The impact of climate change on the Pacific decadal oscillation (PDO) is studied using a fully coupled climate model. The model results show that the PDO has a similar spatial pattern in altered climates, but its amplitude and time scale of variability change in response to global warming or cooling. In response to global warming the PDO amplitude is significantly reduced, with a maximum decrease over the Kuroshio-Oyashio Extension (KOE) region. This reduction appears to be associated with a weakened meridional temperature gradient in the KOE region. In addition, reduced variability of North Pacific wind stress, partially due to reduced air-sea feedback, also helps to weaken the PDO amplitude by reducing the meridional displacements of the subtropical and subpolar gyre boundaries. In contrast, the PDO amplitude increases in response to global cooling. In the control simulations the model PDO has an approximately bidecadal peak. In a warmer climate the PDO time scale becomes shorter, changing from similar to 20 to similar to 12 yr. In a colder climate the time scale of the PDO increases to similar to 34 yr. Physically, global warming (cooling) enhances (weakens) ocean stratification. The increased (decreased) ocean stratification acts to increase (reduce) the phase speed of internal Rossby waves, thereby altering the time scale of the simulated PDO.

This model uses near-surface air temperature as a primary predictor of evapotranspiration (ET); as in previous published work, it is shown here that the model's very high sensitivity to temperature causes it to overestimate ET in a way that is greatly at variance with the fundamental principle of conservation of energy at the land surface. The traditional formulation is characterized here as being equivalent to having several suns in the virtual sky created by LBRM. More physically based methods show, relative to the traditional method, often astoundingly less potential ET and less ET, more runoff from the land and net basin supply for the lake basins, and higher lake water levels in the future. Using various methods of estimating the statistical significance, it is found that, at minimum, these discrepancies in results are significant at the 99.998% level. The lesson for the larger climate impact community is to use caution about whether an impact is forced directly by air temperature itself or is significantly forced by season or latitude independently of temperature. The results here apply only to the water levels of the Great Lakes and the hydrology of its basin and do not affect larger questions of climate change.

One of the most important is the development of larviculture protocols to produce adequate numbers of juveniles to stock grow-out systems at a convenient cost. In order to develop a tool to assess the nutritional status of cobia larvae, we have cloned and sequenced the Growth Hormone (GH) from the pituitary gland of adult fish, and examined the ontogenetic expression in embryonic and larval specimens by qPCR, as well as tissue distribution in wild adult animals by RT-PCR. The cobia GH sequence showed similarity to the GH sequence of Coryphaena hippurus (mahi mahi), Seriola dumerili (Greater amberjack) and Seriola quinqueradiata (Yellowtail). GH gene expression was studied in 18 different tissues, but was only detected in the pituitary gland, eyes, gill and red muscle. Expression levels were very low in embryos and in early larvae but just before the first feeding, gene expression increased dramatically ((similar to)1000 fold) and remained high for the rest of the collection period (to 300 h post fertilization). This pattern of expression is similar to that seen in other rapidly growing temperate marine fish and underscores the rapid somatic growth that begins with the onset of feeding in cobia.

TI Analysis of Ice-to-Liquid Ratios during Freezing Rain and the Development of an Ice Accumulation Model SO WEATHER AND FORECASTING LA English DT Article ID UNITED-STATES; PRECIPITATION; CLIMATOLOGY AB Substantial freezing rain or drizzle occurs in about 24% of winter weather events in the continental United States. Proper preparation for these freezing rain events requires accurate forecasts of ice accumulation on various surfaces. The Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS) has become the primary surface weather observation system in the United States, and more than 650 ASOS sites have implemented an icing sensor as of March 2015. ASOS observations that included ice accumulation were examined from January 2013 through February 2015. The data chosen for this study consist of 60-min periods of continuous freezing rain with precipitation rates >= 0.5 mm h(-1) (0.02 in. h(-1)) and greater than a trace of ice accumulation, yielding a dataset of 1255 h of observations. Ice:liquid. ratios (ILRs) were calculated for each 60-min period and analyzed with 60-min mean values of temperature, wet-bulb temperature, wind speed, and precipitation rate. The median ILR for elevated horizontal (radial) ice accumulation was 0.72:1 (0.28:1), with a 25th percentile of 0.50:1 (0.20:1) and a 75th percentile of 1.0:1 (0.40:1). Strong relationships were identified between ILR and precipitation rate, wind speed, and wet-bulb temperature. The results were used to develop a multivariable Freezing Rain Accumulation Model (FRAM) for use in predicting ice accumulation incorporating these commonly forecast variables as input. FRAM performed significantly better than other commonly used forecast methods when tested on 20 randomly chosen icing events, with a mean absolute error (MAE) of 1.17 mm (0.046 in.), and a bias of -0.03 mm (-0.001 in.).

Observations from this dataset are used to determine their impact on numerical weather prediction (NWP) model skill at simulating coastal and offshore winds through data-denial experiments. This study is a part of the Position of Offshore Wind Energy Resources (POWER) experiment, a Department of Energy (DOE) sponsored project that uses National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) models for two 1-week periods to measure the impact of the assimilation of observations from 11 inland WPRs. Model simulations with and without assimilation of the WPR data are compared at the locations of the inland WPRs, as well as against observations from an additional WPR and a high-resolution Doppler lidar (HRDL) located on board the Research Vessel Ronald H. Brown (RHB), which cruised the Gulf of Maine during the NEAQS experiment. Model evaluation in the lowest 2 km above the ground shows a positive impact of the WPR data assimilation from the initialization time through the next five to six forecast hours at the WPR locations for 12 of 15 days analyzed, when offshore winds prevailed. A smaller positive impact at the RHB ship track was also confirmed. For the remaining three days, during which time there was a cyclone event with strong onshore wind flow, the assimilation of additional observations had a negative impact on model skill. Explanations for the negative impact are offered. C1 [Djalalova, Irina V.; Olson, Joseph; Bianco, Laura; Pichugina, Yelena] Univ Colorado, Cooperat Inst Res Environm Sci, Boulder, CO 80309 USA.

TI Sensitivity of Calibrated Week-2 Probabilistic Forecast Skill to Reforecast Sampling of the NCEP Global Ensemble Forecast System SO WEATHER AND FORECASTING LA English DT Article ID PRECIPITATION FORECASTS; ECMWF; PREDICTION AB CPC requires the reforecast-calibrated Global Ensemble Forecast System (GEFS) to support the production of their official 6-10- and 8-14-day temperature and precipitation forecasts. While a large sample size of forecast-observation pairs is desirable to generate the necessary model climatology and variances, and covariances to observations, sampling by reforecasts could be done to use available computing resources most efficiently. A series of experiments was done to assess the impact on calibrated forecast skill of using a smaller sample size than the current available reforecast dataset. This study focuses on the skill of week-2 probabilistic forecasts of the 7-day-mean 2-m temperature and accumulated precipitation. The tercile forecasts are expressed as being below-, near-, and above-normal temperature/median precipitation over the continental United States (CONUS). Calibration statistics were calculated using an ensemble regression technique from 25 yr of daily, 11-member GEFS reforecasts for 1986-2010, which were then used to postprocess the GEFS model forecasts for 2011-13. In assessing the skill of calibrated model output using a reforecast dataset with fewer years and ensemble members, and an ensemble run less frequently than daily, it was determined that reductions in the number of ensemble members to six or fewer and reductions in the frequency of reforecast runs from daily to once a week were achievable with minimal loss of skill. However, reducing the number of years of reforecasts to less than 25 resulted in a greater skill degradation. The loss of skill was statistically significant using only 18 yr of reforecasts from 1993 to 2010 to generate model statistics.

A ramp specific metric is needed because standard metrics do not give special consideration to ramp events and hence may not provide an appropriate measure of model skill or skill improvement. This RT&M has three components. The first identifies ramp events in the power time series. The second matches in time forecast and observed ramps. The third determines a skill score of the forecast model. This is calculated from a utility operator's perspective, incorporates phase and duration errors in time as well as power amplitude errors, and recognizes that up and down ramps have different impacts on grid operation. The RT&M integrates skill over a matrix of ramp events of varying amplitudes and durations.

TI Forecaster Evaluations of High Temporal Satellite Imagery for the GOES-R Era at the NWS Operations Proving Grounds SO WEATHER AND FORECASTING LA English DT Article ID WARNING DECISIONS; SEVERE WEATHER; RADAR DATA; CLOUDS; ARRAY AB Between February and April of 2015, the National Weather Service (NWS) Operations Proving Ground (OPG) facilitated an evaluation of the usefulness of 1-min satellite imagery for NWS operations in the Geo-stationary Operational Environmental Satellite-R (GOES-R) series era. The overarching goal of the evaluation was to provide quantitative and qualitative guidance to NWS management, including the regional NWS Scientific Services division chiefs, on how satellite imagery with a refresh rate of 1 min impacts NWS forecaster decision-making. During the simulations, forecasters evaluated 1- and 5-min satellite imagery while completing tasks ranging from aviation forecasting and wildfire decision support services to monitoring where convective initiation would occur and integrating the imagery into the convective warning decision-making process. Feedback was gathered to assess if the satellite imagery had influence on forecaster decision-making, if the satellite imagery provided them with more confidence in making those decisions, if forecasters could assimilate the data into operational practices, and if there were adverse impacts on forecaster workload. Forecasters overwhelmingly were of the opinion that 1-min satellite imagery improved their ability and increased their confidence to make effective forecast and warning decisions. The majority of participants expressed that they were able to internally assimilate the imagery with ease. However, feedback gathered when forecasters were asked how useful and easy the imagery was to use in convective warning operations was mixed. Some forecasters expressed difficulty integrating both satellite imagery and radar data while issuing convective warnings. Others felt that with ample training and experience the imagery would be invaluable in warning operations.

The potential source and propagation of forecast errors for this case are diagnosed from the 51-member European Centre for Medium-Range Forecasts Ensemble Prediction System initialized 5 days prior to the cyclone's landfall. Ensemble members are subdivided into two groups: one that contained the eight members that had the most accurate forecast of Joachim and, the other, the eight members that predicted the most intense cyclone. Composite differences between these two subgroups indicate that the difference between these forecasts originate in tropopause-based subsynoptic waves along a deep trough in the eastern Pacific. These errors move eastward over a northern stream ridge centered on the west coast of North America and modulate the evolution of a trough that dives equatorward out of Canada and is associated with the development of Joachim. Forecast error calculations and relaxation experiments indicate that reducing forecast errors associated with these subsynoptic features leads to more accurate forecasts. These results present further evidence that subsynoptic errors, especially those originating in the warm sector of a cyclone, can be a significant source of downstream forecast errors.

TI An Examination of Model and Official National Hurricane Center Tropical Cyclone Size Forecasts SO WEATHER AND FORECASTING LA English DT Article ID FREQUENCY MICROWAVE RADIOMETER; WINDS AB While the National Hurricane Center (NHC) has been issuing analyses and forecasts of tropical cyclone wind radii for several years, little documentation has been provided about the errors in these forecasts. A key hurdle in providing routine verification of these forecasts is that the uncertainty in the wind radii best tracks is quite large for tropical cyclones that are well away from land and unmonitored by aircraft reconnaissance. This study evaluates the errors of a subset of NHC and model 34-, 50-, and 64-kt (1 kt = 0.514 m s(-1)) wind radii forecasts from 2008 through 2012 that had aircraft reconnaissance available at both the initial and verification times. The results show that the NHC wind radii average errors increased with forecast time but were skillful when compared against climatology and persistence. The dynamical models, however, were not skillful and had errors that were much larger than the NHC forecasts, with substantial negative (too small) biases even after accounting for their initial size differences versus the tropical cyclone's current wind radii. Improvements in wind radii forecasting will come about through a combination of better methods for observing tropical cyclone size as well as enhanced prediction techniques (dynamical models, statistical methods, and consensus approaches).

That previous work demonstrated that MD (MV) can in principle be derived mathematically with a value-added empirical modification. MD (MV) has a solid meteorological basis. It combines ascent motion and high moisture: the two elements necessary for rainfall. However, precipitation efficiency is not considered in MD (MV). Given the omission of an advection term in the mathematical derivation and the lack of precipitation efficiency, MD (MV) might be suitable mainly for heavy rain events with large areal coverage and long duration caused by large-scale quasi-stationary weather systems, but not for local intense heavy rain events caused by small-scale convection. In addition, MD (MV) is not capable of describing precipitation intensity. MD (MV) worked reasonably well in predicting heavy rain locations from short to medium ranges as compared with the ECMWF model precipitation forecasts. MD (MV) was generally worse than (though sometimes similar to) the model heavy rain forecast at shorter ranges (about a week) but became comparable or even better at longer ranges (around 10 days). It should be reiterated that MD (MV) is not intended to be a primary tool for predicting heavy rain areas, especially in the short range, but is a useful parameter for calibrating model heavy precipitation forecasts, as stated in the original paper.

Globally occurring examples of cardiotoxic agents include dioxins, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The disruption of cardiac function during the process of heart morphogenesis can lead to adverse outcome pathways (AOPs) that can negatively affect fish survival at hatching as well as later life stages. Proximal impacts include cardiogenic fluid accumulation (edema) and defects of the body axis and jaw that preclude larval feeding. More subtle changes in heart development can produce permanent structural defects in the heart that reduce cardiac output and swimming performance in older fish. In recent decades, the presence of edema in fish embryos and larvae has been a very common bioindicator of cardiotoxicity. However, the different ways that edema forms in fish from different habitats (i.e., freshwater vs. marine, pelagic vs. demersal) has not been rigorously examined. Oil spills are an important source of PAH5 in fish spawning areas worldwide, and research is revealing how patterns of cardiogenic edema are shaped by species-specific differences in developmental anatomy and ionoregulatory physiology. Here we review the visible evidence for circulatory disruption across nine freshwater and marine fish species, exposed to crude oils from different parts of the world. We focus on the close interconnectedness of the cardiovascular and osmoregulatory systems during early development, and corresponding implications for fish in hyperosmotic and hyposmotic habitats. Finally, we suggest there may be poorly understood adverse outcomes pathways related to osmotic gradients and water movement within embryos, the latter causing extreme shifts in tissue osmolality.

However, these data are difficult to obtain for sea turtles because of overall slow growth, delayed maturation and highly migratory behaviour. The loggerhead sea turtle, Caretta caretta, is a widely distributed species, globally listed as endangered. Although the species has been well-studied in some regions, little is known about various aspects of its biology in other populations, such as those in the waters of the western South Atlantic Ocean, especially outside nesting areas. To address age and growth, loggerhead turtles found dead stranded on the northern coast of the state of Rio Grande do Sul during a period of 16years (1994-2010) were utilized for estimation of age and growth rates using skeletochronology. The individuals analyzed were predominantly neritic juveniles, ranging from 53 to 101cm curved carapace length (CCL; mean=71cm), with estimated ages between 10 and 29years (mean=15years). Mean estimated annual growth rate was 2.1cm CCL year(-1) (1.9cm SCL yr(-1)), showing large variation among individuals and between successive years in the same individual. Generalized additive mixed models analysis indicated that growth response was influenced by age, CCL and year. The results demonstrated that the southern coast of Brazil is an important area for the development of neritic juveniles of this species, which appear to recruit to this region beginning at about 12years of age and sizes greater than 55cm CCL.

In the JPSS era, the complete polar-orbiting observing system will be comprised of two satellites in the midmorning (mid-AM) and afternoon (PM) orbits each with thermodynamic sounding capabilities from both microwave and hyperspectral infrared instruments. JPSS will occupy the PM orbit, while the Meteorological Operational (MetOp) system, sponsored by the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT), will occupy the mid-AM orbit. While the current polar-orbiting satellite system has been thoroughly evaluated, information about its resilience and efficacy in the JPSS era is needed. A 7-month (August 2012 February 2013) observing system experiment (OSE) was run with the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Global Forecast System (GFS). Observations were selected from operational satellite data platforms to be representative of the polar-orbiting data in the JPSS era. Overall, removing data from the PM orbit produced inferior scores, with the impact greater in the Southern Hemisphere (SH) than in either the Northern Hemisphere (NH) or the tropics. For the entire 7 months, the time-mean 500-hPa geopotential height anomaly correlation (Z500AC) decreased by 0.005 and 0.013 in the NH and SH, respectively both of which are statistically significant at the 95% level. Additionally, a detailed statistical analysis of the distribution of Z500AC skill scores is presented and compared with historical accuracy data. It was determined that eliminating PM orbit data resulted in a higher probability of producing low scores and a lower probability of producing high scores, counter to the trend in GFS forecast skill over the last 20 years.

This article introduces the first attempt of the DTC in the data assimilation area to help achieve this goal. Since 2009, the DTC, NCEP's Environmental Modeling Center (EMC), and other developers have made significant progress in transitioning the operational Gridpoint Statistical Interpolation (GSI) data assimilation system into a community-based code management framework. Currently, GSI is provided to the public with user support and is open for contributions from internal developers as well as the broader research community, following the same code transition procedures. This article introduces measures and steps taken during this community GSI effort followed by discussions of encountered challenges and issues. The purpose of this article is to promote contributions from the research community to operational data assimilation capabilities and, furthermore, to seek potential solutions to stimulate such a transition and, eventually, improve the NWP capabilities in the United States.

In the past, our capability to predict their occurrences has been constrained by the 2-week predictability limit for weather. We demonstrate here for the first time that a rapid increase of air mass transported into the polar stratosphere, referred to as the pulse of the stratosphere (PULSE), can often be predicted with a useful degree of skill 4-6 weeks in advance by operational forecast models. We further show that the probability of the occurrence of continental-scale CAOs in midlatitudes increases substantially above normal conditions within a short time period from 1 week before to 1-2 weeks after the peak day of a PULSE event. In particular, we reveal that the three massive CAOs over North America in January and February of 2014 were preceded by three episodes of extreme mass transport into the polar stratosphere with peak intensities reaching a trillion tons per day, twice that on an average winter day. Therefore, our capability to predict the PULSEs with operational forecast models, in conjunction with its linkage to continental-scale CAOs, opens up a new opportunity for 30-day forecasts of continental scale CAOs, such as those occurring over North America during the 2013/14 winter. A real-time forecast experiment inaugurated in the winter of 2014/15 has given support to the idea that it is feasible to forecast CAOs 1 month in advance.

The 0.2-degree climatology combines all available observations of surface and bottom temperature and salinity collected between 1950 and 2010 along with the location, depth and date of these measurements. While climatological studies of surface and bottom temperature and salinity have been presented previously for various regions along the Canadian and U.S. shelves, studies also suggest that all these regions are part of one coherent system. This study focuses on the coherent structure of the mean seasonal cycle of surface and bottom temperature and salinity and its variation along the shelf and upper slope. The seasonal cycle of surface temperature is mainly driven by the surface heat flux and exhibits strong dependency on latitude (r approximate to -0.9). The amplitude of the seasonal cycle of bottom temperature is rather dependent on the depth, while the spatial distribution of bottom temperature is correlated with latitude. The seasonal cycle of surface salinity is influenced by several components, such as sea-ice on the northern shelves and river discharge in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The bottom salinity exhibits no clear seasonal cycle, but its spatial distribution is highly correlated with bathymetry, thus Slope Water and its intrusion on the shelf can be identified by its relatively high salinity compared to shallow, fresher shelf water. Two different regimes can be identified, especially on the shelf, separated by the Laurentian Channel: advection influences the phasing of the seasonal cycle of surface salinity and bottom temperature to the north, while in the southern region, river runoff and air-sea heat flux forcing are dominant, especially over the shallower bathymetry.

TI Mass balance estimates of carbon export in different water masses of the Chukchi Sea shelf SO DEEP-SEA RESEARCH PART II-TOPICAL STUDIES IN OCEANOGRAPHY LA English DT Article DE Carbon export; Pelagic-benthic coupling; Phytoplankton; Chukchi; Sea ice ID NET COMMUNITY PRODUCTION; WESTERN ARCTIC-OCEAN; DISSOLVED ORGANIC-CARBON; BEAUFORT SEAS; CONTINENTAL-SHELF; PACIFIC WATER; BARROW CANYON; ICE COVER; DENITRIFICATION RATES; PHYTOPLANKTON BLOOMS AB We construct mass-balance based estimates of carbon (C) export fractions from the water column across the Chukchi Sea shelf. Export is calculated as the difference between phytoplankton drawdown of dissolved inorganic C (DIC) and the accumulation of autochthonous particulate and dissolved organic C in the water column. Organic carbon (C-org) exports of > 50% of DIC drawdown are ubiquitous across the shelf, even during, or shortly after, phytoplankton blooms, suggesting widespread and strong pelagic-benthic coupling. Export fractions on the shelf were generally greater in the less-productive Alaska Coastal Water than in the more productive Bering Shelf-Anadyr Water. Additionally, export fractions were greater in 2011 than in 2010, highlighting the significant spatial and inter-annual variability of the fate of Corg in this ecologically and biogeochemically important, and rapidly changing, ecosystem.

Real-time communications between on-and under-overpass vehicles can contribute to effective vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications, including, for example, optimal route selection and overpass accident warning messaging. Ensuring effective communication requires a quantitative characterization of the overpass propagation channel. In this paper, we provide measurement and analytical results for V2V propagation path loss and root-mean-square delay spread, and from these results, we develop tapped-delay line channel models that are applicable to the 5-GHz band for two example overpasses. These two example overpasses are termed i) one-lane metal-bottom overpass and ii) two-lane metal-bottom overpass. Due to the unique structure of the overpasses, we divide the radio propagation space around the overpass into four different areas: a two-ray area, a short-term partial-shadowing area, a (full) shadowing area, and a long-term partial-shadowing area. In the two-ray area, a line-of-sight (LOS) path and a ground-reflected path are the dominant propagation mechanisms, whereas in the other areas, the overpass body (floor, walls, and columns) attenuates the LOS signal. The accuracy of our measurement results and the developed channel model are verified by a geometry-based stochastic channel modeling approach, in which the height dimension is first introduced to characterize the diffraction phenomenon in V2V communication. The actual measurement and simulation results show good consistency. C1 [Liu, Pengyu] China Ctr Informatizat Ind Dev, Inst Informatizat, Beijing 100846, Peoples R China.

TI Measurement and modeling of polarized specular neutron reflectivity in large magnetic fields SO JOURNAL OF APPLIED CRYSTALLOGRAPHY LA English DT Article DE polarized neutron reflectometry; applied magnetic fields; Zeeman corrections; non-collinear magnetization ID REFLECTOMETRY AB The presence of a large applied magnetic field removes the degeneracy of the vacuum energy states for spin-up and spin-down neutrons. For polarized neutron reflectometry, this must be included in the reference potential energy of the Schrodinger equation that is used to calculate the expected scattering from a magnetic layered structure. For samples with magnetization that is purely parallel or antiparallel to the applied field which defines the quantization axis, there is no mixing of the spin states (no spin-flip scattering) and so this additional potential is constant throughout the scattering region. When there is non-collinear magnetization in the sample, however, there will be significant scattering from one spin state into the other, and the reference potentials will differ between the incoming and outgoing wavefunctions, changing the angle and intensities of the scattering. The theory of the scattering and recommended experimental practices for this type of measurement are presented, as well as an example measurement.

TI Extreme Noise-Extreme El Nino: How State-Dependent Noise Forcing Creates El Nino-La Nina Asymmetry SO JOURNAL OF CLIMATE LA English DT Article ID SEA-SURFACE TEMPERATURE; WESTERLY WIND BURSTS; EQUATORIAL PACIFIC; TROPICAL PACIFIC; RECHARGE OSCILLATOR; CONCEPTUAL-MODEL; ANNUAL CYCLE; PART I; ENSO; EVENTS AB A major open question about El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is what causes ENSO amplitude asymmetry, with strong El Ninos generally larger than strong La Ninas. The authors examine a leading hypothesis-that the ENSO state modifies the fetch and/or wind speed of westerly wind bursts (WWBs) that create asymmetric forcing and an asymmetric ENSO response. Further, in El Nino forecasts, the number of WWBs expected increases in the month following a strong WWB when compared with the month preceding it. Using a conceptual model, a relationship is derived between the magnitude of the westerly wind burst state dependence on ENSO and ENSO asymmetry. It is found that this relationship between the magnitude of the state dependence and ENSO asymmetry holds in both the observations and 21 coupled climate models. Finally, it is found that because of state-dependent westerly wind burst forcing, extreme El Nino events tend to be of the eastern Pacific variety.

Wang, Muyin TI Recent Extreme Arctic Temperatures are due to a Split Polar Vortex SO JOURNAL OF CLIMATE LA English DT Article ID SEA-ICE; NORTH PACIFIC; AMPLIFICATION AB There were extensive regions of Arctic temperature extremes in January and February 2016 that continued into April. For January, the Arctic-wide averaged temperature anomaly was 2.0 degrees C above the previous record of 3.0 degrees C based on four reanalysis products. Midlatitude atmospheric circulation played a major role in producing such extreme temperatures. Extensive low geopotential heights at 700 hPa extended over the southeastern United States, across the Atlantic, and well into the Arctic. Low geopotential heights along the Aleutian Islands and a ridge along northwestern North America contributed southerly wind flow. These two regions of low geopotential height were seen as a major split in the tropospheric polar vortex over the Arctic. Warm air advection north of central Eurasia reinforced the ridge that split the flow near the North Pole. Winter 2015 and 2016 geopotential height fields represented an eastward shift in the longwave atmospheric circulation pattern compared to earlier in the decade (2010-13). Certainly Arctic amplification will continue, and 2016 shows that there can be major Arctic contributions from midlatitudes. Whether Arctic amplification feedbacks are accelerated by the combination of recent thinner, more mobile Arctic sea ice and occasional extreme atmospheric circulation events from midlatitudes is an interesting conjecture.

TI A Five-Century Reconstruction of Hawaiian Islands Winter Rainfall SO JOURNAL OF CLIMATE LA English DT Article ID NORTH-AMERICAN DROUGHT; STATISTICAL APPROACH; PAST MILLENNIUM; CLIMATE-CHANGE; ANALOG METHOD; PACIFIC; VARIABILITY; PRECIPITATION; ENSO; OSCILLATION AB Few if any high-resolution (annually resolved) paleoclimate records are available for the Hawaiian Islands prior to; similar to 1850 CE, after which some instrumental records start to become available. This paper shows how atmospheric teleconnection patterns between North America and the northeastern North Pacific (NNP) allow for reconstruction of Hawaiian Islands rainfall using remote proxy information from North America. Based on a newly available precipitation dataset for the state of Hawaii and observed and reconstructed December-February (DJF) sea level pressures (SLPs) in the North Pacific Ocean, the authors make use of a strong relationship between winter SLP variability in the northeast Pacific and corresponding DJF Hawaii rainfall variations to reconstruct and evaluate that season's rainfall over the period 1500-2012 CE. A general drying trend, though with substantial decadal and longer-term variability, is evident, particularly during the last; similar to 160 years. Hawaiian Islands rainfall exhibits strong modulation by El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), as well as in relation to Pacific decadal oscillation (PDO)-like variability. For significant periods of time, the reconstructed large-scale changes in the North Pacific SLP field described here and by construction the long-term decline in Hawaiian winter rainfall are broadly consistent with long-term changes in tropical Pacific sea surface temperature (SST) based on ENSO reconstructions documented in several other studies, particularly over the last two centuries. Also noted are some rather large multidecadal fluctuations in rainfall (and hence in NNP SLP) in the eighteenth century of undetermined provenance.

In this method, the weather noise is estimated by removing the signal part, as determined from the coupled ensemble mean simulations. The weather noise estimated from coupled models is compared with that estimated from uncoupled AGCM simulations. The model used in this study is CFSv2. The initialized simulations start from each April during 1982-2009 paired with four members and extend for 6 months. To make a clear comparison between weather noise in coupled and uncoupled simulations, a set of uncoupled AGCM (the atmospheric component of CFSv2) simulations are conducted, which are forced by the daily mean SSTs from the above initialized CGCM simulations. The comparison indicates that, over the Asia-Pacific monsoon region where the local air-sea coupling is important, the noise variances are generally reduced as a result of air-sea coupling, as are the total and signal variances. This result stands in contrast to the results of previous studies that suggested that the noise variance for coupled and uncoupled models is the same. It is shown that the previous conclusion is simply an artifact of the assumption applied in the AGCM-based approach (i.e., the signal is the same between coupled and uncoupled simulations). In addition, the variance difference also exhibits a clear seasonality, with a larger difference over the monsoon region appearing toward boreal summer. Another set of AGCM experiments forced by the same SST suggests that the CGCM-based method generally remains valid in estimating weather noise within 2 months of its initial start.

TI Phase Equilibria and Microstructural Evolution in Ternary Co-Al-W Between 750 and 1100 A degrees C SO JOURNAL OF PHASE EQUILIBRIA AND DIFFUSION LA English DT Article DE Co-based alloy; phase diagram; phase equilibrium; superalloy; thermodynamics ID HIGH-TEMPERATURE ALLOYS; ATOMIC MOBILITY; STABILITY; GAMMA'; INTERDIFFUSION AB Phase equilibria between 750 and 1100 A degrees C in the Co-rich portion of the Co-Al-W ternary system are investigated via isothermal annealing of five ternary alloy compositions. At temperatures of 900 A degrees C and below, the phase diagram is dominated by a three-phase tie-triangle between gamma, D0(19), and B2. The 1000 A degrees C section contains two three-phase tie-triangles, gamma A + D0(19) + mu and gamma + B2 + mu; while only one, gamma + B2 + mu, exists at 1100 A degrees C. Results at 950 A degrees C suggest that it is possible that gamma' is in equilibrium, with four out of five compositions exhibiting microstructures supporting its thermodynamic stability, and the fifth composition containing only a very small amount of a fourth phase. However, if true, the temperature range of gamma' stability would be quite small, and it is more likely that the kinetics of gamma' dissolution are the cause of its persistence at 950 A degrees C. At 850 A degrees C, gamma' is observed to dissolve more rapidly than at 900 A degrees C where dissolution exceeds 8000 h. A time-temperature-transformation diagram constructed from the combined results exhibits a classic nose-shape indicative of the tradeoff between thermodynamics and kinetics. This further supports a small driving force as the reason for the persistence of gamma' in the microstructures of Co-Al-W alloys at 900 and 950 A degrees C. The measured equilibrium phase compositions and five corresponding isothermal sections of the phase diagram will provide essential data for constructing a new thermodynamic description of ternary Co-Al-W.

Techniques employed include Rietveld refinement using x-ray and high-temperature neutron diffraction data to determine crystal structures and phase equilibria. The compound Hf2Pd3 was discovered with the Os2Al3 structure type, and no evidence was found for a reported "Hf3Pd4" phase. More importantly, the compound HfPd2 was found to be involved in a previously undetected peritectic reaction at 1850 A degrees C. Crystallographic data are given for all compounds encountered, and a significantly revised phase diagram is proposed. C1 [Stalick, Judith K.] NIST, NIST Ctr Neutron Res, Gaithersburg, MD 20899 USA.

TI Refined treatment of single-edge diffraction effects in radiometry SO JOURNAL OF THE OPTICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA A-OPTICS IMAGE SCIENCE AND VISION LA English DT Article ID SOLAR IRRADIANCE MEASUREMENTS; SPECTRAL IRRADIANCE; PRIMARY STANDARD; COHERENCE; LIGHT; CALIBRATIONS; SYSTEMS AB This work treats diffraction corrections in radiometry for cases of point and extended sources in cylindrically symmetrical three-element systems. It considers diffraction effects for spectral power and total power in cases of Planck sources. It improves upon an earlier work by the author by giving a simpler rendering of leading terms in asymptotic expansions for diffraction effects and reliable estimates for the remainders. This work also demonstrates a framework for accelerating the treatment of extended sources and simplifying the calculation of diffraction effects over a range of wavelengths. This is especially important in the short-wavelength region, where dense sampling of wavelength values is in principle necessitated by the rapidly oscillatory behavior of diffraction effects as a function of wavelength. We demonstrate the methodology's efficacy in two radiometric applications.

TI Model-based inference for estimating shifts in species distribution, area occupied and centre of gravity SO METHODS IN ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION LA English DT Article DE abundance-weighted average; California Current; centre of gravity; climate change; range shifts; spatiotemporal model; species distribution model ID EXPLOITED MARINE FISHES; RECENT CLIMATE-CHANGE; DENSITY-DEPENDENCE; NORTH; POPULATIONS; ABUNDANCE; TRACKING; SIZE; BIAS; COD AB Changing climate is already impacting the spatial distribution of many taxa, including bees, plants, birds, butterflies and fishes. A common goal is to detect range shifts in response to climate change, including changes in the centre of the population's distribution (the centre of gravity, COG), population boundaries and area occupied. Conventional estimators, such as the abundance-weighted average (AWA) estimator for COG, confound range shifts with changes in the spatial distribution of available survey data and may be biased when the distribution of survey data shifts over time. AWA also does not estimate the standard error of COG in individual years and cannot incorporate data from multiple survey designs. To explicitly account for changes in the spatial distribution of survey effort, we propose an alternative species distribution function (SDF) estimator. The SDF approach involves calculating distribution metrics, including COG, population boundary and area occupied, directly from the predicted species distribution or density function. We illustrate the SDF approach using a spatiotemporal model that is available as an r package. Using simulated data, we confirm that the SDF substantially decreases bias in COG estimates relative to the AWA estimator. We then illustrate the method by analysing data from two data sets spanning 1977-2013 for 18 marine fishes along the U.S. West Coast. In our case study, the SDF estimator shows significant northward shifts for six of 18 species (with southward shifts for only 2), where two species (darkblotched and greenstriped rockfishes) have both a northward shift and a decreased area occupied. Pelagic species (e.g. Pacific hake and spiny dogfish) have more variable distribution than bottom-associated species. We also find substantial differences between AWA and SDF estimates of COG that are likely caused by shifts in sampling distribution (which affect the AWA but not the SDF estimator). We caution that common estimators for range shift can yield inappropriate inference whenever sampling designs have shifted over time. We conclude by suggesting further improvements in model-based approaches to analysing climate impacts, including methods addressing the impact of local and regional temperature changes on species distribution.

The three-dimensional HCP microstructures are obtained through segmentation of x-ray images of real samples as well as from simulations using the cement hydration model CEMHYD3D. Moreover, the physical and chemical interactions between chloride ions and HCP phases (binding), along with their effects on the diffusive process, are explicitly taken into account. The homogenized diffusivity of the HCP is then derived through a least square homogenization technique. Comparisons between numerical results and experimental data from the literature are presented.

While evidence supports this prediction among colonizing plants and animals, few studies have investigated shifts in reproductive mode in haplo-diplontic species in which both prolonged haploid and diploid stages separate meiosis and fertilization in time and space. Due to this separation, asexual reproduction can yield the dominance of one of the ploidy stages in colonizing populations. We tested for shifts in ploidy and reproductive mode across native and introduced populations of the red seaweed Gracilaria vermiculophylla. Native populations in the northwest Pacific Ocean were nearly always attached by holdfasts to hard substrata and, as is characteristic of the genus, haploid-diploid ratios were slightly diploid-biased. In contrast, along North American and European coastlines, introduced populations nearly always floated atop soft-sediment mudflats and were overwhelmingly dominated by diploid thalli without holdfasts. Introduced populations exhibited population genetic signals consistent with extensive vegetative fragmentation, while native populations did not. Thus, the ecological shift from attached to unattached thalli, ostensibly necessitated by the invasion of soft-sediment habitats, correlated with shifts from sexual to asexual reproduction and slight to strong diploid bias. We extend Baker's Law by predicting other colonizing haplo-diplontic species will show similar increases in asexuality that correlate with the dominance of one ploidy stage. Labile mating systems likely facilitate colonization success and subsequent range expansion, but for haplo-diplontic species, the long-term eco-evolutionary impacts will depend on which ploidy stage is lost and the degree to which asexual reproduction is canalized.

The extent of population connectivity and structure is unknown for many species, thereby limiting our understanding of the factors that underlie speciation dynamics in this radiation. Here, we assess the population structure of the widespread species Cryodraco antarcticus and its sister species Cryodraco atkinsoni, whose taxonomic status is currently debated. Combining both population genetic and phylogenetic approaches to species delimitation, we provide evidence that C. atkinsoni is a distinct species. Our analyses show that C. atkinsoni and C. antarcticus are recently diverged sister lineages, and the two species differ with regard to patterns of population structure. A systematic and accurate account of species diversity is a critical prerequisite for investigations into the complex processes that underlie the history of speciation in the notothenioid adaptive radiation.

Ca3Co2O6 was found to be a point compound without the substitution of Eu on the Ca site when prepared at 885 degrees C. A solid solution region of distorted perovskite, (Eu1-xCax)CoO3-z (0 <= x <= 0.22, space group Pnma) was established. The (Eu0.91(1)Ca0.09(1))CoO3-z perovskite member has a distorted structure with tilt angles theta (17.37 degrees), phi (8.20 degrees), and omega (19.16 degrees) which represent rotations of an octahedron about the pseudo-cubic perovskite [110](p), [001](p) and [111](p) axes. The reported Eu2CoO4 phase was not observed at 885 degrees C, but a ternary Ca-doped oxide, (Eu1+xCa1-x)CoO4-z (Bmab) where 0 <= x <= 0.10 was found to be stable at this temperature. In the peripheral binary systems, Eu was not present in the Ca site of CaO, while a small solid solution region was identified for (Eu1-xCax)O(3-z)/2 (0 <= x <= 0.05).

TI IRB and Research Regulatory Delays Within the Military Health System: Do They Really Matter? And If So, Why and for Whom? SO AMERICAN JOURNAL OF BIOETHICS LA English DT Article DE human subjects research; IRB (institutional review board); regulatory issues; research ethics ID RESEARCH PARTICIPANTS; CLINICAL-TRIALS; BOARDS; BUREAUCRACY; IRAQ; CARE AB Institutional review board (IRB) delays may hinder the successful completion of federally funded research in the U.S. military. When this happens, time-sensitive, mission-relevant questions go unanswered. Research participants face unnecessary burdens and risks if delays squeeze recruitment timelines, resulting in inadequate sample sizes for definitive analyses. More broadly, military members are exposed to untested or undertested interventions, implemented by well-intentioned leaders who bypass the research process altogether. To illustrate, we offer two case examples. We posit that IRB delays often appear in the service of managing institutional risk, rather than protecting research participants. Regulators may see more risk associated with moving quickly than risk related to delay, choosing to err on the side of bureaucracy. The authors of this article, all of whom are military-funded researchers, government stakeholders, and/or human subject protection experts, offer feasible recommendations to improve the IRB system and, ultimately, research within military, veteran, and civilian populations.

Here we report on changes at the base of the food web during 1995-2014 at a mid-depth site located in southeastern Lake Michigan. Specifically, we evaluated trends in Secchi depth, surface mixed layer chlorophyll-a and total phosphorus (TP), sub-epilimnetic deep chlorophyll layer concentrations, and near bottom chlorophyll-a concentrations and whether there have been shifts in the seasonal patterns of these variables. Median chlorophyll-a concentrations declined over 63 % during the spring isothermal period following the sharp increase in mussel abundance between 1996-2002 and 2007-2014. Chlorophyll-a concentrations in the spring were generally between 2 and 3 mg m(-3) in 1996-2002, but almost never exceeded 1 mg m(-3) in 2007-2014. Secchi depths increased in all months between 1996-2002 and 2007-2014, with the greatest changes being observed in the spring. Total phosphorus in the surface mixed layer declined over the study period, but not at as fast a rate as chlorophyll-a, a change consistent with mussel invasions. There was a 90 % decline in the median depth integrated deep chlorophyll-a concentration between 1995-2000 and 2007-2014 in June when this feature was at its peak. Chlorophyll-a concentrations in the near bottom zone also decreased over time, likely due to their constant contact with dreissenid mussels. The declines in chlorophyll-a and changes in nutrient dynamics at the mid-depth site are consistent with dreissenid induced impacts that have also been documented at deeper, offshore sites in Lake Michigan.

The corresponding upper state ro-vibrational levels were fit using Watson-type Hamiltonians. In this way it was possible to reproduce the upper state ro-vibrational levels to within the experimental uncertainty i.e. similar to 0.30 x 10(-3) cm(-1). Very accurate rotational and centrifugal distortion constants were derived from the fit together with the following band centers: nu(0)(nu(6), (Cl2CO)-Cl-35)= 443.172062(15) cm(-1), nu(0)(nu(6),(ClClCO)-Cl-35-Cl-37) = 440.534956(17) cm(-1).

Achieving this goal requires taking advantage of the recent advances in data and information sciences. This critical need has impelled the emergence of a new discipline, called materials data science and informatics. This emerging new discipline not only has to address the core scientific/technological challenges related to datafication of materials science and engineering, but also, a number of equally important challenges around data-driven transformation of the current culture, practices, and workflows employed for materials innovation. A comprehensive effort that addresses both of these aspects in a synergistic manner is likely to succeed in realizing the vision of scaled-up materials innovation. Key toolsets needed for the successful adoption of materials data science and informatics in materials innovation are identified and discussed in this article. Prototypical examples of emerging novel toolsets and their functionality are described along with select case studies.

Because temperature is a fundamental parameter reflecting the biological status of the body and individual tissues, it would be helpful to have temperature maps superimposed on spatial maps. Here we show that small ferromagnetic particles with a strong temperature-dependent magnetization, can be used to produce temperature-dependent images in magnetic resonance imaging with an accuracy of about 1 degrees C. This technique, when further developed, could be used to identify inflammation or tumours, or to obtain spatial maps of temperature in various medical interventional procedures such as hyperthermia and thermal ablation. This method could also be used to determine temperature profiles inside nonmetallic composite materials. C1 [Hankiewicz, J. H.; Celinski, Z.; Anderson, N. R.; Camley, R.

Recent evidence has pointed to the contrary, and in this work, we present a thorough investigative effort into the angular dependence of the SD degradation for the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) onboard the Suomi National Polarorbiting Partnership (SNPP) satellite and for the twin Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) onboard Terra and Aqua spacecrafts. One common key step in the RSB calibration is the use of the SD degradation performance measured by an accompanying solar diffuser stability monitor (SDSM) as a valid substitute for the SD degradation factor in the direction of the RSB view. If SD degradations between these two respective directions do not maintain the same relative relationship over time, then the unmitigated use of the SDSM-measured SD degradation factor in the RSB calibration calculation will generate bias, and consequently, long-term drift in derived science products. We exploit the available history of the on-orbit calibration events to examine the response of the SDSM and the RSB detectors to the incident illumination reflecting off SD versus solar declination angle and show that the angular dependency, particularly at short wavelengths, evolves with respect to time. The generalized and the decisive conclusion is that the bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) of the SD degrades nonuniformly with respect to both incident and outgoing directions. Thus, the SDSM-based measurements provide SD degradation factors that are biased relative to the RSB view direction with respect to the SD. The analysis also reveals additional interesting phenomena, for example, the sharp behavioral change in the evolving angular dependence observed in Terra MODIS and SNPP VIIRS. For SNPP VIIRS the mitigation for this "SD degradation nonuniformity effect" with respect to angles relies on a "hybrid methodology" using lunar-based calibration to set the reliable long-term baseline. For MODIS, the use of earth targets in the major release Collection 6 to improve calibration coefficients and time-dependent response-versus-scan-angle characterization inherently averts the use of SD and its associated issues. The work further supports that having an open-close operational capability for the space view door can minimize SD degradation and its associated effects due to solar exposure, and thus provide long-term benefits for maintaining calibration and science data accuracy.

We used the Ecopath with Ecosim modeling approach to assess these controls on the Lake Huron main basin food web and the 2003 collapse of an invasive pelagic prey fish, alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus). We parameterized two Ecopath models to characterize food web changes occurring between two study periods of 1981-1985 and 1998-2002. We also built an Ecosim model and simulated food web time-dynamics under scenarios representing different levels of top-down control by Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and of bottom-up control by quagga mussels (Dreissena rostriformis bugensis) and nutrients. Ecopath results showed an increase in the relative importance of bottom-up controls between the two periods, as production decreased across all trophic levels. The production of non-dreissenid benthos decreased most, which could cause decreases in production of pelagic prey fishes feeding on them. Ecosim simulation results indicated that the alewife collapse was caused by a combination of top-down and bottom-up controls. Results showed that while controls by Chinook salmon were relatively constant before alewife collapse, controls by quagga mussels and nutrients increased jointly to unsustainable levels. Under current conditions of low nutrients and high quagga mussel biomass, simulation results showed that recovery of alewives is unlikely regardless of Chinook salmon biomass in Lake Huron, which implies that the shrinking prey base cannot support the same level of salmonine predators as that prevailed during the 1980s.

TI Combined Effects of High-Dose Bisphenol A and Oxidizing Agent (KBrO3) on Cellular Microenvironment, Gene Expression, and Chromatin Structure of Ku70-deficient Mouse Embryonic Fibroblasts SO ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH PERSPECTIVES LA English DT Article ID BASE EXCISION-REPAIR; OXIDATIVE DNA-DAMAGE; ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS; ESTROGEN RESPONSE; NA+/H+ EXCHANGER; INTRACELLULAR PH; LIVING CELLS; CANCER CELLS; MALE RATS; STRESS AB BACKGROUND: Exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) has been reported to alter global gene expression, induce epigenetic modifications, and interfere with complex regulatory networks of cells. In addition to these reprogramming events, we have demonstrated that BPA exposure generates reactive oxygen species and promotes cellular survival when co-exposed with the oxidizing agent potassium bromate (KBrO3). OBJECTIVES: We determined the cellular microenvironment changes induced by co-exposure of BPA and KBrO3 versus either agent alone. Methods: Ku70-deficient cells were exposed to 150 mu M BPA, 20 mM KBrO3, or co-exposed to both agents. Four and 24 hr post-damage initiation by KBrO3, with BPA-only samples timed to coincide with these designated time points, we performed whole-genome microarray analysis and evaluated chromatin structure, DNA lesion load, glutathione content, and intracellular pH. RESULTS: We found that 4 hr post-damage initiation, BPA exposure and co-exposure transiently condensed chromatin compared with untreated and KBrO3-only treated cells; the transcription of DNA repair proteins was also reduced. At this time point, BPA exposure and co-exposure also reduced the change in intracellular pH observed after treatment with KBrO3 alone. Twenty-four hours post-damage initiation, BPA-exposed cells showed less condensed chromatin than cells treated with KBrO3 alone; the intracellular pH of the co-exposed cells was significantly reduced compared with untreated and KBrO3-treated cells; and significant up-regulation of DNA repair proteins was observed after co-exposure. CONCLUSION: These results support the induction of an adaptive response by BPA co-exposure that alters the microcellular environment and modulates DNA repair. Further work is required to determine whether BPA induces similar DNA lesions in vivo at environmentally relevant doses; however, in the Ku70-deficient mouse embryonic fibroblasts, exposure to a high dose of BPA was associated with changes in the cellular microenvironment that may promote survival.

TI Evolutionary distinctiveness of fatty acid and polyketide synthesis in eukaryotes SO ISME JOURNAL LA English DT Article ID MULTIPLE SEQUENCE ALIGNMENT; HARMFUL ALGAL BLOOMS; GENE-TRANSFER; PLASMODIUM-FALCIPARUM; ARABIDOPSIS-THALIANA; CHEMICAL DIVERSITY; TOXOPLASMA-GONDII; CONDENSING ENZYME; SYNTHASE GENES; DINOFLAGELLATE AB Fatty acids, which are essential cell membrane constituents and fuel storage molecules, are thought to share a common evolutionary origin with polyketide toxins in eukaryotes. While fatty acids are primary metabolic products, polyketide toxins are secondary metabolites that are involved in ecologically relevant processes, such as chemical defence, and produce the adverse effects of harmful algal blooms. Selection pressures on such compounds may be different, resulting in differing evolutionary histories. Surprisingly, some studies of dinoflagellates have suggested that the same enzymes may catalyse these processes. Here we show the presence and evolutionary distinctiveness of genes encoding six key enzymes essential for fatty acid production in 13 eukaryotic lineages for which no previous sequence data were available (alveolates: dinoflagellates, Vitrella, Chromera; stramenopiles: bolidophytes, chrysophytes, pelagophytes, raphidophytes, dictyochophytes, pinguiophytes, xanthophytes; Rhizaria: chlorarachniophytes, haplosporida; euglenids) and 8 other lineages (apicomplexans, bacillariophytes, synurophytes, cryptophytes, haptophytes, chlorophyceans, prasinophytes, trebouxiophytes). The phylogeny of fatty acid synthase genes reflects the evolutionary history of the organism, indicating selection to maintain conserved functionality. In contrast, polyketide synthase gene families are highly expanded in dinoflagellates and haptophytes, suggesting relaxed constraints in their evolutionary history, while completely absent from some protist lineages. This demonstrates a vast potential for the production of bioactive polyketide compounds in some lineages of microbial eukaryotes, indicating that the evolution of these compounds may have played an important role in their ecological success.

The analogy of the unipolar leaders to free-burning arcs was applied to interpret the processes during current cutoff in individual leader branches. These processes are essential to locating the origin and the timing of recoil leader formation. The difference in the density of the branching structures of positively- and negatively charged leaders is shown as the decisive factor affecting the occurrence of recoil leaders in positively charged channels, absence of them in negatively charged channels, and the lack of multiple return strokes in positive cloud-to-ground flashes.

The term resilience is applied to a range of topics including physical security, business continuity, emergency planning, hazard mitigation, and the built environment's (e.g.,facilities, transportation systems, and utilities) ability to resist and rapidly recover from disruptive events. This paper focuses on research needs for achieving community resilience of the built environment. Community resilience depends upon the capacity of facilities and infrastructure systems to maintain acceptable levels of functionality during and after disruptive events and to recover full functionality within a specified period of time. Natural, technological, and human-made hazards in the United States continue to be responsible for significant losses and damage to the built environment. To improve the disaster resilience of communities to hazard events, each community needs to develop plans based on a risk-informed methodology that addresses multiple hazards, system performance levels, recovery of functionality, and dependencies between systems. However, quantitative tools and metrics and risk-informed guidance for communities are not presently available. A risk-informed methodology that supports decision making among alternatives for community resilience is proposed. Research needs are outlined for short-term and long-term development plans that are based on two national workshops in 2011. Research needs include risk-informed tools to support resilience planning at the community level, performance goals including functionality and recovery levels, multiple resilience levels, and standardized tools and metrics for community resilience and the built environment.

TI On challenges in the uncertainty evaluation for time-dependent measurements SO METROLOGIA LA English DT Article DE dynamic metrology; dynamic measurement; deconvolution; linear system; regularization; uncertainty ID REGULARIZATION PARAMETER SELECTION; DYNAMIC MEASUREMENTS; POSED PROBLEMS; HYDROPHONE; CURVE; PHASE AB The measurement of quantities with time-dependent values is a common task in many areas of metrology. Although well established techniques are available for the analysis of such measurements, serious scientific challenges remain to be solved to enable their routine use in metrology. In this paper we focus on the challenge of estimating a time-dependent measurand when the relationship between the value of the measurand and the indication is modeled by a convolution. Mathematically, deconvolution is an ill-posed inverse problem, requiring regularization to stabilize the inversion in the presence of noise. We present and discuss deconvolution in three practical applications: thrust-balance, ultra-fast sampling oscilloscopes and hydrophones. Each case study takes a different approach to modeling the convolution process and regularizing its inversion. Critically, all three examples lack the assignment of an uncertainty to the influence of the regularization on the estimation accuracy. This is a grand challenge for dynamic metrology, for which to date no generic solution exists. The case studies presented here cover a wide range of time scales and prior knowledge about the measurand, and they can thus serve as starting points for future developments in metrology. The aim of this work is to present the case studies and demonstrate the challenges they pose for metrology. C1 [Eichstaedt, S.; Wilkens, V.] Phys Tech Bundesanstalt, Braunschweig, Germany.

In this system, the force applied to the transducer is produced by the acceleration of an attached mass, and is determined according to Newton's second law, F = ma. The acceleration is measured by primary means, using laser interferometry. The capabilities of this system are demonstrated by performing dynamic calibrations of two shear-web-type force transducers up to a frequency of 2 kHz, with an expanded uncertainty below 1.2%. We give an account of all significant sources of uncertainty, including a detailed consideration of the effects of dynamic tilting (rocking), which is a leading source of uncertainty in such harmonic force calibration systems.

TI El Nino and coral larval dispersal across the eastern Pacific marine barrier SO NATURE COMMUNICATIONS LA English DT Article ID SOUTHERN OSCILLATION EVENT; TROPICAL PACIFIC; REEF FISHES; GENE FLOW; FLORIDA CURRENT; CONNECTIVITY; OCEAN; EVOLUTION; POPULATIONS; MORTALITY AB More than 5,000 km separates the frequently disturbed coral reefs of the Eastern Tropical Pacific (ETP) from western sources of population replenishment. It has been hypothesized that El Nino events facilitate eastward dispersal across this East Pacific Barrier (EPB). Here we present a biophysical coral larval dispersal model driven by 14.5 years of high-resolution surface ocean current data including the extreme 1997-1998 El Nino. We find no eastward cross-EPB connections over this period, which implies that ETP coral populations decimated by the 1998 bleaching event can only have recovered from eastern Pacific sources, in congruence with genetic data. Instead, rare connections between eastern and central Pacific reefs are simulated in a westward direction. Significant complexity and variability in the surface flows transporting larvae mean that generalized upper-ocean circulation patterns are poor descriptors of inter-regional connectivity, complicating the assessment of how climate change will impact coral gene flow Pacific wide.

TI Algorithm Variability in the Estimation of Lung Nodule Volume From Phantom CT Scans: Results of the QIBA 3A Public Challenge SO ACADEMIC RADIOLOGY LA English DT Article DE CT volumetry; anthropomorphic phantoms; lung tumor; challenge; algorithms; QIBA ID INTRAOBSERVER VARIABILITY; TUMOR RESPONSE; SOLID TUMORS; THORACIC CT; INTEROBSERVER; BIOMARKER; EXAMPLE; CANCER; RECIST; SIZE AB Rationale and Objectives: Quantifying changes in lung tumor volume is important for diagnosis, therapy planning, and evaluation of response to therapy. The aim of this study was to assess the performance of multiple algorithms on a reference data set. The study was organized by the Quantitative Imaging Biomarker Alliance (QIBA). Materials and Methods: The study was organized as a public challenge. Computed tomography scans of synthetic lung tumors in an anthropomorphic phantom were acquired by the Food and Drug Administration. Tumors varied in size, shape, and radiodensity. Participants applied their own semi-automated volume estimation algorithms that either did not allow or allowed post-segmentation correction (type 1 or 2, respectively). Statistical analysis of accuracy (percent bias) and precision (repeatability and reproducibility) was conducted across algorithms, as well as across nodule characteristics, slice thickness, and algorithm type. Results: Eighty-four percent of volume measurements of QIBA-compliant tumors were within 15% of the true volume, ranging from 66% to 93% across algorithms, compared to 61% of volume measurements for all tumors (ranging from 37% to 84%). Algorithm type did not affect bias substantially; however, it was an important factor in measurement precision. Algorithm precision was notably better as tumor size increased, worse for irregularly shaped tumors, and on the average better for type 1 algorithms. Over all nodules meeting the QIBA Profile, precision, as measured by the repeatability coefficient, was 9.0% compared to 18.4% overall. Conclusion: The results achieved in this study, using a heterogeneous set of measurement algorithms, support QIBA quantitative performance claims in terms of volume measurement repeatability for nodules meeting the QIBA Profile criteria.

TI A state-space approach to incorporating environmental effects on recruitment in an age-structured assessment model with an application to southern New England yellowtail flounder SO CANADIAN JOURNAL OF FISHERIES AND AQUATIC SCIENCES LA English DT Article ID MIDDLE ATLANTIC BIGHT; SARDINE SARDINOPS-SAGAX; FISH STOCK ASSESSMENT; CONTINENTAL-SHELF; OBSERVATION ERROR; TIME-SERIES; UNITED-STATES; KALMAN FILTER; CATCH; FISHERIES AB The state-space model framework provides a natural, probabilistic approach to stock assessment by modeling the stochastic nature of population survival and recruitment separately from sampling uncertainty inherent in observations on the population. We propose a state-space assessment model that is expanded to simultaneously treat environmental covariates as stochastic processes and estimate their effects on recruitment. We apply the model to southern New England yellowtail flounder (Limanda ferruginea) using data from the most recent benchmark assessment to evaluate evidence for effects of the mid-Atlantic cold pool and spawning stock biomass on recruitment. Based on Akaike's information criterion, both the cold pool and spawning stock biomass were important predictors of recruitment and led to annual variation in estimated biomass reference points and associated yield. We also demonstrate the effect of the stochasticity of the mid-Atlantic cold pool on short-term forecasts of the stock size, biomass reference point, and stock status.

Schoener's index of proportional overlap and multivariate analyses of diets suggested that these species had significantly different trophic niches. Arctic char and the largest individuals of both species had the most diverse diets, and sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka (Walbaum, 1792)) eggs dominated the diet of both species, especially Arctic char. Arctic char had larger jaws and wider heads than Dolly Varden of similar body length, which may contribute to interspecific diet difference. The species also differed in migration patterns; otolith microchemistry indicated that juvenile Arctic char were produced by nonanadromous mothers, whereas the mothers of the Dolly Varden had been to sea in the season prior to spawning. The species also segregate in spawning habitat (Arctic char in the lakes and Dolly Varden in streams), as well as in juvenile rearing habitat. Our study provides the first evidence of divergent feeding and migratory ecology between sympatric juvenile Arctic char and Dolly Varden, differences that may constrain hybridization and introgression between them.

Initial (and continued) interest was mostly in applying the universal calibration concept to obtain molar mass averages and distributions of macromolecules for which no appropriate calibration standards existed, and in obtaining long-chain branching information such as branching number and frequency. During the last three decades, viscometry has shown itself to be able to do much more than this, especially (but not exclusively) when employed in multi-detector set-ups which include light scattering photometers. The purpose of this review is to demonstrate the power of viscometry detection in SEC, through applications which showcase the extreme or, simply, the unusual, oftentimes as encountered by the author. A brief review of history and theory is thus followed by examples of the role of viscometry in the SEC characterization of, among others, solutions with negative viscosity, polymers which undergo morphological transformations during growth, polysaccharides with molar mass distributions extending into the hundreds of millions of g mol(-1), and spectroscopically invisible macromolecules.

To characterize the plasma during the afterglow we monitored the time evolution of density of He-2 excited dimers (a(3)Sigma(+)(u)) in plasmas in pure helium and in helium with small admixture of Ar and H-2. By monitoring the plasma decay and its dependence on [H2] and [Ar] in the afterglow in pure He and in He/Ar/H-2 mixture we estimated the rate of plasma thermalization in the temperature range of 80-300 K. The inferred deexcitation rate coefficients for reaction of helium metastable atoms with H-2 were (0.9 x 0.3) x10(-10) cm(3) s(-1), (1.9 x 0.2) x10(-10) cm(3) s(-1) and (2.7 x 0.2) x 10(-10) cm(3) s(-1) at 80 K, 140 K and 300 K, respectively. The effective recombination rate coefficients for H-3(+) were evaluated from the decay of the electron number density. We propose the lower estimate for the saturation of the effective recombination rate coefficient in H-3(+) and D-3(+) dominated plasma.

Ramakrishna and colleagues first investigated electrospun fibers for neural applications in 2004. After this initial study, electrospun fibers are increasingly investigated for neural tissue engineering applications. Electrospun fibers robustly support axonal regeneration within in vivo rodent models of spinal cord injury. These findings suggest the possibility of their eventual use within patients. Indeed, both spinal cord and peripheral nervous system regeneration research over the last several years shows that physical guidance cues induce recovery of limb, respiration, or bladder control in rodent models. Electrospun fibers may be an alternative to the peripheral nerve graft (PNG), because PNG autografts injure the patient and are limited in supply, and allografts risk host rejection. In addition, electrospun fibers can be engineered easily to confront new therapeutic challenges. Fibers can be modified to release therapies locally or can be physically modified to direct neural stem cell differentiation. This review summarizes the major findings and trends in the last decade of research, with a particular focus on spinal cord injury. This review also demonstrates how electrospun fibers can be used to study the central nervous system in vitro.

TI Equilibration of a Baroclinic Planetary Atmosphere toward the Limit of Vanishing Bottom Friction SO JOURNAL OF THE ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES LA English DT Article ID SHALLOW-WATER TURBULENCE; KINETIC-ENERGY SPECTRUM; GENERAL-CIRCULATION; GIANT PLANETS; 2-DIMENSIONAL TURBULENCE; HEAT ENGINE; BETA-PLANE; JETS; TRANSPORT; DYNAMICS AB This paper discusses whether and how a baroclinic atmosphere can equilibrate with very small bottom friction in a dry primitive equation general circulation model. The model is forced by a Newtonian relaxation of temperature to a prescribed temperature profile, and it is damped by a linear friction near the lower boundary. When friction is decreased by four orders of magnitude, kinetic energy dissipation by friction gradually becomes negligible, while "energy recycling" becomes dominant. In this limit kinetic energy is converted back into potential energy at the largest scales, thus closing the energy cycle without significant frictional dissipation. The momentum fluxes are of opposite sign in the upper and lower atmosphere: in the upper atmosphere, eddies converge momentum into the westerly jets; however, in the lower atmosphere, the eddies diverge momentum out of the westerly jets. The secondary circulation driven by the meridional eddy momentum fluxes thus acts to increase the baroclinicity of the westerly jet. This regime may be relevant for the Jovian atmosphere, where the frictional time scale may be much larger than the radiative damping time scale.

TI Impact of MPEX Upsonde Observations on Ensemble Analyses and Forecasts of the 31 May 2013 Convective Event over Oklahoma SO MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW LA English DT Article ID KALMAN FILTER ASSIMILATION; STORM-SCALE ANALYSES; MESONET OBSERVATIONS; RADAR OBSERVATIONS; PART I; SENSITIVITY-ANALYSIS; MODEL; MESOSCALE; VERIFICATION; SYSTEM AB This study examines the impact of assimilating three radiosonde profiles obtained from ground-based mobile systems during the Mesoscale Predictability Experiment (MPEX) on analyses and convection-permitting model forecasts of the 31 May 2013 convective event over Oklahoma. These radiosonde profiles (in addition to standard observations) are assimilated into a 36-member mesoscale ensemble using an ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) before embedding a convection-permitting (3 km) grid and running a full ensemble of 9-h forecasts. This set of 3-km forecasts is compared to a control run that does not assimilate the MPEX soundings. The analysis of low-to midlevel moisture is impacted the most by the assimilation, but coherent mesoscale differences in temperature and wind are also seen, primarily downstream of the location of the soundings. The ensemble of forecasts of convection on the 3-km grid are improved the most in the first three hours of the forecast in a region where the analyzed position of low-level frontal convergence and midlevel moisture was improved on the mesoscale grid. Later forecasts of the upscale growth of intense convection over central Oklahoma are improved somewhat, but larger ensemble spread lowers confidence in the significance of the improvements. Changes in the horizontal localization radius from the standard value applied to the MPEX sounding assimilation alters the specific times that the forecasts are improved in the first three hours of the forecasts, while changes to the vertical localization radius and specified temperature and wind observation error result in little to no improvements in the forecasts.

Because of the difficulty of directly assimilating reflectivity (Z), hydrometeor mixing ratios, and sometimes rainfall rate, are often retrieved from Z observations using retrieval relations, and are assimilated as state variables. The most limiting (although widely employed) cases of these relations are derived, and their assumptions and limitations are discussed. To investigate the utility of these retrieval relations for liquid water content (LWC) and ice water content (IWC) in rain and hail as well as the potential for improvement using polarimetric variables, two models with spectral bin microphysics coupled with a polarimetric radar operator are used: a one-dimensional melting hail model and the two-dimensional Hebrew University Cloud Model. The relationship between LWC and Z in pure rain varies spatially and temporally, with biases clearly seen using the normalized number concentration. Retrievals using Z perform the poorest while specific attenuation and specific differential phase shift (K-DP) perform much better. Within rain-hail mixtures, separate estimation of LWC and IWC is necessary. Prohibitively large errors in the retrieved LWC may result when using Z. The quantity K-DP can be used to effectively retrieve the LWC and to isolate the contribution of IWC to Z. It is found that the relationship between Z and IWC is a function of radar wavelength, maximum hail diameter, and principally the height below the melting layer, which must be accounted for in order to achieve accurate retrievals.

We show that in Ni/Ta nanostructured systems, while their density ratio is not meaningfully changed from that expected in bulk, their elastic properties are significantly modified, where nickel softens while tantalum stiffens, relative to their bulk counterparts. In particular, the presence or absence of the Ta capping layer influences the mechanical properties of the Ni film. This nondestructive nanomechanical measurement technique represents the first approach to date able to distinguish the properties of composite materials well below 100 nm in thickness. This capability is critical for understanding and optimizing the strength, flexibility and reliability of materials in a host of nanostructured electronic, photovoltaic, and thermoelectric devices.

While trions directly influence charge transport properties in optoelectronic devices, excitons may be relevant through exciton-trion coupling and conversion phenomena. In this work, we reveal the coherent and incoherent nature of exciton-trion coupling and the relevant time scales in monolayer MoSe2 using optical two-dimensional coherent spectroscopy. Coherent interaction between excitons and trions is definitively identified as quantum beating of cross peaks in the spectra that persists for a few hundred femtoseconds. For longer times up to 10 ps, surprisingly, the relative intensity of the cross peaks increases, which is attributed to incoherent energy transfer likely due to phonon-assisted up-conversion and down-conversion processes that are efficient even at cryogenic temperature.

However, the severity of threats from different mammals, and the role of interacting biotic and abiotic factors in driving extinctions, remain poorly understood at a global scale. Here we model global extirpation patterns for island populations of threatened and extinct vertebrates. Extirpations are driven by interacting factors including invasive rats, cats, pigs, mustelids and mongooses, native species taxonomic class and volancy, island size, precipitation and human presence. We show that controlling or eradicating the relevant invasive mammals could prevent 41-75% of predicted future extirpations. The magnitude of benefits varies across species and environments; for example, managing invasive mammals on small, dry islands could halve the extirpation risk for highly threatened birds and mammals, while doing so on large, wet islands may have little benefit. Our results provide quantitative estimates of conservation benefits and, when combined with costs in a return-on-investment framework, can guide efficient conservation strategies.

This paper demonstrates that (1) epitaxial growth of LCO on a single crystal Nb-doped SrTiO3 (Nb:STO) of different orientations occurs with a single orientation relationship; (2) surface morphology of the LCO films is established by the morphology of coalescing grains during island growth mode, whereas morphology of the grains can be visualized as different cuts from a cube with low-energy {104}(R-LCO) surfaces; (3) the films consist of predominately trigonal R-LiCoO2 phase, with a small fraction of the occasionally present cubic c-LixCoO2 phase; (4) cyclic voltammetry measurements have determined rectification at interface between LCO and Nb:STO causing bias on the oxidation part of cycling, thus preventing full cycling.

TI The evaluation of the scoring systems: the fixed effects model under known variances SO ACCREDITATION AND QUALITY ASSURANCE LA English DT Article DE Proficiency testing; Scoring systems; UMP test; MSE; Unbiased test; Fixed effects model ID PROFICIENCY; PERFORMANCE; SCHEME AB A number of scoring systems for proficiency testing and interlaboratory comparison are in use by the metrology community. The choice of scoring system for a given study is often based on the study coordinator's experience and anecdotal knowledge, perhaps attributable to a historic lack of detailed and formal explanation about the foundation of these systems. This has influenced the development of new scoring systems, some of them departing from the well-established hypothesis testing theory. Often, different scoring systems give different results not because one may be better than the others but because, as they are documented, the user cannot control the confidence level of the test. We present a formal evaluation of seven of these systems under the fixed effects model assuming known variances. Under these sound assumptions, the systems analyzed all have the same statistical properties. Furthermore, these systems are all members of a family of systems based on strictly increasing functions in which the statistical decision problem is invariant. Under the fixed effects model with known variances, no unbiased scoring system can provide greater statistical power than the members of this family of systems. We apply these results to the lead content of water example provided in International Standard ISO 13528:2015 "Statistical methods for use in proficiency testing by interlaboratory comparisons.".

Integration of all three degrees of freedom-mechanical, optical and microwave-would enable a quantum interconnect between microwave and optical quantum systems. We present a platform based on silicon nitride nanomembranes for integrating superconducting microwave circuits with planar acoustic and optical devices such as phononic and photonic crystals. Using planar capacitors with vacuum gaps of 60 nm and spiral inductor coils of micron pitch we realize microwave resonant circuits with large electromechanical coupling to planar acoustic structures of nanoscale dimensions and femtoFarad motional capacitance. Using this enhanced coupling, we demonstrate microwave backaction cooling of the 4.48 MHz mechanical resonance of a nanobeam to an occupancy as low as 0.32. These results indicate the viability of silicon nitride nanomembranes as an all-in-one substrate for quantum electro-opto-mechanical experiments. C1 [Fink, J.

TI Origin and control of blinking in quantum dots SO Nature Nanotechnology LA English DT Review ID SINGLE SEMICONDUCTOR NANOCRYSTALS; POWER-LAW STATISTICS; AUGER RECOMBINATION; FLUORESCENCE INTERMITTENCY; SUPPRESSED BLINKING; ROOM-TEMPERATURE; PHOTOLUMINESCENCE; SPECTROSCOPY; EMISSION; ELECTRON AB Semiconductor nanocrystals offer an enormous diversity of potential device applications, based an their size-tunable photoluminescence, high optical stability and 'bottom-up' chemical approaches to sef-assemby. However, the promise of such applications can be seriously limited by photoluminescence intermittency in nanocrystal emission, that is, 'blinking', arising from the escape of either one or both of the photoexcited carriers to the nanocrystal surface. In the first scenario, the remaining nanocrystal charge quenches photoluminescence via non-radiative Auger recombination, whereas for the other, the exciton is thought to be intercepted before thermalization and does not contribute to the photoluminescence. This Review summarizes the current understanding of the mechanisms responsible for nanocrystal blinking kinetics as well as core-shell engineering efforts to control such phenomena. In particular, 'softening' of the core-shell confinement potential strongly suppresses non-radiative Auger processes in charged nanocrystals, with successful non-blinking implementations demonstrated in CdSe-CdS core-thick-shell nanocrystals and their modifications.

TI North and equatorial Pacific Ocean circulation in the CORE-II hindcast simulations SO OCEAN MODELLING LA English DT Article DE CORE global ocean-ice simulations; Kuroshio; Mode water; Subtropical cell; North Pacific simulations ID EASTERN TROPICAL PACIFIC; SEA-SURFACE TEMPERATURE; SUBTROPICAL MODE WATER; INTERMEDIATE WATER; GENERAL-CIRCULATION; KUROSHIO TRANSPORT; INTERANNUAL VARIABILITY; THERMOCLINE VARIABILITY; ATLANTIC SIMULATIONS; DECADAL VARIABILITY AB We evaluate the mean circulation patterns, water mass distributions, and tropical dynamics of the North and Equatorial Pacific Ocean based on a suite of global ocean-sea ice simulations driven by the CORE-II atmospheric forcing from 1963-2007. The first three moments (mean, standard deviation and skewness) of sea surface height and surface temperature variability are assessed against observations. Large discrepancies are found in the variance and skewness of sea surface height and in the skewness of sea surface temperature. Comparing with the observation, most models underestimate the Kuroshio transport in the Asian Marginal seas due to the missing influence of the unresolved western boundary current and mesoscale eddies. In terms of the Mixed Layer Depths (MLDs) in the North Pacific, the two observed maxima associated with Subtropical Mode Water and Central Mode Water formation coalesce into a large pool of deep MLDs in all participating models, but another local maximum associated with the formation of Eastern Subtropical Mode Water can be found in all models with different magnitudes. The main model bias of deep MLDs results from excessive Subtropical Mode Water formation due to inaccurate representation of the Kuroshio separation and of the associated excessively warm and salty Kuroshio water. Further water mass analysis shows that the North Pacific Intermediate Water can penetrate southward in most models, but its distribution greatly varies among models depending not only on grid resolution and vertical coordinate but also on the model dynamics. All simulations show overall similar large scale tropical current system, but with differences in the structures of the Equatorial Undercurrent. We also confirm the key role of the meridional gradient of the wind stress curl in driving the equatorial transport, leading to a generally weak North Equatorial Counter Current in all models due to inaccurate CORE-II equatorial wind fields. Most models show a larger interior transport of Pacific subtropical cells than the observation due to the overestimated transport in the Northern Hemisphere likely resulting from the deep pycnocline.

First, three consecutive Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) images acquired during the post-typhoon stage were used to estimate the SSC. Then, we implemented a hydrodynamic model, including a sediment transport module, based on Delft3D to simulate the sediment erosion, re-suspension, transport and deposition processes in the study area during the passage of Typhoon Saomai. The model-simulated water level was validated against the in situ station data to show the feasibility of the model. The simulated SSC results agree reasonably well with the satellite observations. Time series of the simulation results showed that the model revealed the whole SSC variations during this extreme weather event and made up for the scarcity of in-situ and satellite observations. SSC significantly increased during the passage of the typhoon and decreased gradually during the post-typhoon stage. Modeled results also reveal that the spring-neap tidal effect significantly controlled the distribution and variation of SSC in the shallower coastal water (<20-30 m in depth) and the typhoon-induced re-suspension is evident in most of the study area, especially in the coastal waters near the Yangtze River estuary and Hangzhou Bay during the passage of the typhoon. Finally, based on the simulation results, we discuss the dynamic mechanisms including turbulent energy, bed shear stress and vertical mixing that caused the SSC variation. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

TI Through-the-glass spectroscopic ellipsometry for analysis of CdTe thin-film solar cells in the superstrate configuration SO PROGRESS IN PHOTOVOLTAICS LA English DT Article DE thin-film CdTe; solar cell; spectroscopic ellipsometry; quantum efficiency AB Polycrystalline CdS/CdTe thin-film solar cells in the superstrate configuration have been studied by spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) using glass side illumination. In this measurement method, the first reflection from the ambient/glass interface is rejected, whereas the second reflection from the glass/film-stack interface is collected; higher order reflections are also rejected. The SE analysis incorporates parameterized dielectric functions epsilon for solar cell component materials obtained by in situ and variable-angle SE. In the SE analysis of the complete cells, a step-wise procedure ranks the fitting parameters, including thicknesses and those defining the spectra in epsilon, according to their ability to reduce the root-mean-square deviation between the simulated and measured SE spectra. The best fit thicknesses from this analysis are found to be consistent with electron microscopy. Based on the SE results, the solar cell quantum efficiency (QE) can be simulated without any free parameters, and comparisons with measured QE enable optical model refinements as well as identification of optical and electronic losses. These capabilities have wide applications in photovoltaic module mapping and in-line monitoring. Copyright (c) 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Discharges of anoxic groundwater, with high concentrations of sulfate and chloride and low concentrations of nitrate and oxygen, from three sinkhole vents (El Cajon, Middle Island and Isolated) in Lake Huron have been recently documented. In this investigation, we collected and analyzed a suite of water samples from these three sinkhole vents and lake water samples from Lake Huron for Ra, radon-222, stable isotopes of oxygen and hydrogen, and other ancillary parameters. These measurements are among the first of their kind in this unique environment. The activities of Ra are found to be one to two orders of magnitude higher than that of the lake water. Isotopic signatures of some of the bottom lake water samples indicate evidences for micro-seeps at distances farther from these three vents. A plot of delta D versus delta O-18 indicates that there are deviations from the Global Meteoric Line that can be attributed to mixing of different water masses and/or due to some subsurface chemical reactions. Using the Ra isotopic ratios, we estimated the transit times of the vent waters from the bottom to the top of the vent (i.e., sediment-water interface) to be 4-37 days. More systematic studies on the distribution of the radioactive and stable isotope studies are needed to evaluate the prevalence of micro-seeps in Lake Huron and other Great Lakes system.

Qualitative agreement with observed cross-correlations is achieved using a simple range-dependent model, constrained by earlier, active tomographic studies in the area. In particular, the model correctly predicts the existence of two weakly dispersive normal modes in the microseism frequency range, with the group speed of one of the normal modes being smaller than the sound speed in water. The agreement justifies our interpretation of the peaks of the measured cross-correlation function of ambient noise as modal arrivals, with dispersion that is sensitive to crustal velocity structure. Our observations are consistent with Scholte to Moho head wave coupled propagation, with double mode conversion occurring due to the bathymetric variations between receivers. We thus demonstrate the feasibility of interrogating crustal properties using noise interferometry of moored hydrophone data at ranges in excess of 120 km.

TI A systematic survey of the integration of animal behavior into conservation SO CONSERVATION BIOLOGY LA English DT Article DE captive breeding; conservation behavior; dispersal; foraging; heat map; invasive species; learning; reintroduction; aprendizaje; comportamiento en la conservacion; dispersion; especies invasoras; forrajeo; mapa de calor; reintroduccion; reproduccion en cautiverio ID MANAGEMENT; SUCCESS; BIOLOGY; NEED; INTERFACE; HABITAT AB The role of behavioral ecology in improving wildlife conservation and management has been the subject of much recent debate. We sought to answer 2 foundational questions about the current use of behavioral knowledge in conservation: To what extent is behavioral knowledge used in wildlife conservation and management, and how does the use of animal behavior differ among conservation fields in both frequency and types of use? We searched the literature for intersections between key fields of animal behavior and conservation and created a systematic heat map (i.e., graphical representation of data where values are represented as colors) to visualize relative efforts. Some behaviors, such as dispersal and foraging, were commonly considered (mean [SE] of 1147.38 [353.11] and 439.44 [108.85] papers per cell, respectively). In contrast, other behaviors, such as learning, social, and antipredatory behaviors were rarely considered (mean [SE] of 33.88 [7.62], 44.81 [10.65], and 22.69 [6.37] papers per cell, respectively). In many cases, awareness of the importance of behavior did not translate into applicable management tools. Our results challenge previous suggestions that there is little association between the fields of behavioral ecology and conservation and reveals tremendous variation in the use of different behaviors in conservation. We recommend that researchers focus on examining underutilized intersections of behavior and conservation themes for which preliminary work shows a potential for improving conservation and management, translating behavioral theory into applicable and testable predictions, and creating systematic reviews to summarize the behavioral evidence within the behavior-conservation intersections for which many studies exist. Un Censo Sistematico de la Integracion del Comportamiento Animal a la Conservacion El papel de la ecologia conductual en el mejoramiento de la conservacion y el manejo de la fauna ha sido sujeto recientemente a muchas discusiones. Buscamos responder dos preguntas fundamentales acerca del uso actual del conocimiento conductual en la conservacion: Hasta que punto se utiliza el conocimiento conductual en la conservacion y manejo de la fauna y como difiere el uso del comportamiento animal, tanto en frecuencia como en tipos de uso, entre las areas de conservacion? En la literatura buscamos intersecciones entre areas clave de la conservacion y el comportamiento animal y creamos un mapa sistematico de calor (es decir, una representacion grafica de los datos en la que los valores se representan con colores) para visualizar los esfuerzos relativos. Algunos comportamientos, como la dispersion y el forrajeo, se consideraron como comunes (media [SE] de 114.38 [353.11] y 439.44 [108.85] articulos por celda, respectivamente). En contraste, otros comportamientos como el aprendizaje y las conductas sociales y anti-depredadores se consideraron como raras (media [SE] de 33.88 [7.62], 44.81 [10.65] y 22.69 [6.37] articulos por celda, respectivamente). En muchos casos, la deteccion de la importancia del comportamiento no se tradujo en una herramienta aplicable de manejo. Nuestros resultados presentan un reto a las sugerencias previas de que existe poca asociacion entre las areas de la ecologia conductual y la conservacion y revelan una variacion tremenda en el uso de diferentes comportamientos dentro de la conservacion. Recomendamos que los investigadores se enfoquen en examinar intersecciones sub-utilizadas de temas de comportamiento y conservacion para los que el trabajo preliminar muestre un potencial para mejorar la conservacion y el manejo; traduzcan la teoria conductual a predicciones aplicables y evaluables; y creen revisiones sistematicas para resumir la evidencia conductual dentro las intersecciones de comportamiento-conservacion para las que existen muchos estudios.

Assessment results show that CMORPH generally exhibits the best performance with slight underestimation, while 3B42RTV7 has the worst performance with large positive biases. Additionally, 3B42V7 and PERSIANN-CDR tend to have an approximate accuracy. The monthly gauge adjustment applied to 3B42V7 and PERSIANN-CDR significantly reduces their systematic bias and in particular it makes these two research products maintain a stable skill level during winter. As for the heavy rainfall events (>50mm/d) in summer, 3B42V7 and CMORPH exhibit a relatively better degree of agreement to the gauge observations. Overall, our study suggests that the satellite-based precipitation estimates all have their own pros and cons at different spatiotemporal scales. We expect the results reported here will provide a better understanding of current mainstream satellite precipitation products over similar medium-sized humid basins.

This region faces multiple natural hazards, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides, hurricanes, and flooding. The islands are part of the Greater Antilles island chain, which is one of the earliest places that employed Global Positioning System (GPS) technology in plate tectonics and natural hazards studies. A dense Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) network with 24 permanent GPS stations is currently operated by a joint effort of academic, government, and local land surveying communities. This region has been regarded as one of the densest CORS coverage regions worldwide. This article summarized the current GPS geodetic infrastructure in the PRVI region, which includes three components: a dense CORS network that is open to the public, a stable local reference frame that is updated in time, and sophisticated software packages for GPS data processing that are freely available to the academic and research community. This article focused on establishing a local reference frame, the stable Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands reference frame of 2014 (PRVI14), which is essential for precisely delineating local ground deformation over space and time. Applications of the geodetic infrastructure for precise faulting, landslide, and sea-level monitoring were illustrated in this study. According to this study, the St. Croix Island is moving away from the Puerto Rico and Northern Virgin Islands toward southeast with a steady velocity of 1.7 mm/year; the Lajas Valley in southwestern of Puerto Rico may be experiencing a north-south direction extension (1.5 mm/year) and a minor right-lateral strike slip (0.4 mm/year) with respect to the PRVI14 reference frame; the current absolute sea-level rise rate in the PRVI coastal region is about 1.6-2.0 mm/year.

One of the key factors in wind farm characterization is the prediction of power output of the wind farm that is a strong function of the turbulence in the wind speed and direction. A new formulation for calculating the expected power from a wind turbine in the presence of wind shear, turbulence, directional shear and direction fluctuations is presented. It is observed that wind shear, directional shear and direction fluctuations reduce the power producing capability, while turbulent intensity increases it. However, there is a complicated superposition of these effects that alters the characteristics of the power estimate that indicates the need for the new formulation. Data from two field experiments is used to estimate the wind power using the new formulation, and results are compared to previous formulations. Comparison of the estimates of available power from the new formulation is not compared to actual power outputs and will be a subject of future work. (c) 2015 The Authors.

In a first experiment, the influence of different single diets (T, T+ and Cg) and a bispecific diet (TCg) was studied, whereas, effects of monospecific diets (T and T+) and bispecific diets (TCg and T+ Cg) were evaluated in a second experiment. The strain T+ was very rich in triglycerides (TAG: 93-95% of total neutral lipids), saturated FA (45%), monounsaturated FA (31-33%) and total fatty acids (4.0-4.7 pg cell(-1)). Larval oyster survival and growth rate were positively correlated with 18: 1n-7 and 20: 1n-7, in storage lipids (SL), and negatively related to 14: 0, 18: 1n-9, 20: 1n-9, 20: 4n-6 and trans-22-dehydrocholesterol in membrane lipids (ML). Surprisingly, only the essential fatty acid 20: 5n-3 in SL was correlated positively with larval survival. Correlations suggest that physiological disruption by overabundance of TAG, FFA and certain fatty acids in larvae fed T+ was largely responsible for the poor performance of these larvae. 'High-lipid' strains of microalgae, without regard to qualitative lipid composition, do not always improve bivalve larval performance.

Volcanic ash consisting of two different particle sizes was used to prepare cement pastes with different ratios of Portland cement to volcanic ash. The concentration of the volcanic ash played a major role in the bound water index and self-diffusion coefficients of hydration water confined in the cement paste. An increase in the particle size of the volcanic ash affected the degree of hydration by allowing more free and mobile water in the gel pores, suggesting that volcanic ash may not have completely reacted during the experimental time frame. This study shows that the particle size along with variation in volcanic ash composition governs the early age hydration process in volcanic ash cements. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

TI Solute-Derived Thermal Stabilization of Nano-sized Grains in Melt-Spun Aluminum SO METALLURGICAL AND MATERIALS TRANSACTIONS A-PHYSICAL METALLURGY AND MATERIALS SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID NANOCRYSTALLINE MATERIALS; GROWTH; ALLOYS; SEGREGATION; STABILITY; AL; MICROSTRUCTURES; KINETICS; ENERGY AB Thermal stabilization of nanograined metallic microstructures (or nanostructures) can be difficult due to the large driving force for growth that arises from the inherently significant boundary area. Kinetic approaches for stabilization of the nanostructure effective at low homologous temperatures often fail at higher homologous temperatures. Alternatively, thermodynamic approaches for thermal stabilization may offer higher temperature stability. In this research, modest alloying of aluminum with solute (1 pct by mole Sc, Yb, or Sr) was examined as a means to thermodynamically stabilize a bulk nanostructure at elevated temperatures. Following 1-hour annealing treatments at 673 K (400 A degrees C) (0.72 T-m), 773 K (500 A degrees C) (0.83 T-m), and 873 K (600 A degrees C) (0.94 T-m), the alloys remain nanocrystalline (< 100 nm) as measured by Warren-Averbach Fourier analysis of X-ray diffraction peaks and direct observation of TEM dark-field micrographs, with the efficacy of stabilization: Sr a parts per thousand Yb > Sc. The disappearance of intermetallic phases in the Sr- and Yb-containing alloys in the X-ray diffraction spectra is observed to occur coincident with the stabilization after annealing, suggesting that precipitates dissolve and the boundaries are enriched with solute.

TI A non-Schmid crystal plasticity finite element approach to multi-scale modeling of nickel-based superalloys SO ACTA MATERIALIA LA English DT Article DE Ni-based superalloys; Homogenization; Crystal plasticity; Morphology; Non-Schmid ID SINGLE-CRYSTAL; MICROSTRUCTURES; DEFORMATION; CREEP; HOMOGENIZATION; BEHAVIOR; CMSX-4 AB This paper develops non-Schmid crystal plasticity constitutive models at two length scales, and bridges them in a multi-scale framework. The constitutive models address thermo-mechanical behavior of Nickel-based superalloys for a large temperature range, viz. 300 K-1223 K, and include orientation dependencies and tension-compression asymmetry. The orientation dependencies result in tension compression asymmetry for almost all orientations on the standard unit triangle. However simulations show different trends for the stronger direction (tension or compression) in terms of yield stress and hardening. The multi-scale framework includes two sub-grain and homogenized grain scales. For the sub-grain scale, a size-dependent, dislocation density-based FEM model of the representative volume element (RVE) with explicit depiction of the gamma-gamma' morphology is developed as a building block for homogenization. For the next scale, an activation energy based crystal plasticity (AE-CP) model is developed for single crystal Ni-based superalloys. The homogenized AE-CP model develops functional forms of constitutive parameters in terms of characteristics of the sub-grain gamma-gamma' microstructural morphology including gamma' shape, volume fraction and gamma channel-width in the sub-grain microstructure. This homogenized model can significantly expedite crystal plasticity FE simulations due to the parametrized representation, while retaining accuracy. (C) 2016 Acta Materialia Inc.

Each kilopixel array consists of three individual components assembled into a single working unit: (1) a filled, Transition Edge Sensor (TES) bolometer array, (2) an infrared, back-termination, and (3) an integrated, two-dimensional superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) multiplexer readout. Kilopixel TES arrays are directly indium-bump-bonded to a 32 40 SQUID multiplexer (MUX) circuit. In order to provide a fully superconducting pathway from the TES to the SQUID readout, numerous superconductor-to-superconductor interfaces must be made. This paper focuses on the fabrication techniques needed to create the superconducting path from the TES, out of the detector membrane, through the wafer, and to the SQUID readout. C1 [Jhabvala, C.

TI Advanced ACTPol Multichroic Polarimeter Array Fabrication Process for 150 mm Wafers SO JOURNAL OF LOW TEMPERATURE PHYSICS LA English DT Article DE AlMn; Multichroic; Polarimeter; SiNx; Transition-edge sensor ID POLARIZATION AB Advanced ACTPol (AdvACT) is a third-generation cosmic microwave background receiver to be deployed in 2016 on the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT). Spanning five frequency bands from 25 to 280 GHz and having just over 5600 transition-edge sensor (TES) bolometers, this receiver will exhibit increased sensitivity and mapping speed compared to previously fielded ACT instruments. This paper presents the fabrication processes developed by NIST to scale to large arrays of feedhorn-coupled multichroic AlMn-based TES polarimeters on 150-mm diameter wafers. In addition to describing the streamlined fabrication process which enables high yields of densely packed detectors across larger wafers, we report the details of process improvements for sensor (AlMn) and insulator (SiN) materials and microwave structures, and the resulting performance improvements.

Popular material choices include Mo/Au and Mo/Cu, which exhibit good environmental stability and provide low resistivity films to achieve adequate thermal conductivity. The deposition of high-quality Mo films requires sufficient adatom mobility, which can be provided by energetic ions in sputter deposition or by heating the substrate in an e-beam evaporation process. The bilayer depends sensitively on the exact deposition conditions of the Mo layer and the superconducting/normal metal interface. Because the individual contributions (strain, crystalline structure, contamination) are difficult to disentangle and control, reproducibility remains a challenge. Recently, we have demonstrated that low-energy ion-beam-assisted e-beam evaporation offers an alternative route to reliably produce high-quality Mo films without the use of substrate heating. The energy and momentum delivered by the ion beam provides an additional control knob to tune film properties such as resistivity and stress. In this report we describe modifications made to the commercial end-Hall ion source to avoid iron contamination allowing us to produce superconducting Mo films. We show that the ion beam is effective at enhancing the bilayer interface transparency and that bilayers can be further tuned towards reduced and higher conductivity by vacuum annealing.

BFORE will survey 1/4 of the sky with 1.7-3.7 arcminute resolution, enabling precise characterization of the Galactic dust that now limits constraints on inflation from CMB B-mode polarization measurements. In addition, BFORE's combination of frequency coverage, large survey area, and angular resolution enables science far beyond the critical goal of measuring foregrounds. BFORE will constrain the velocities of thousands of galaxy clusters, provide a new window on the cosmic infrared background, and probe magnetic fields in the interstellar medium. We review the BFORE science case, timeline, and instrument design, which is based on a compact off-axis telescope coupled to superconducting detectors.

TI Cosmology Large Angular Scale Surveyor (CLASS) Focal Plane Development SO JOURNAL OF LOW TEMPERATURE PHYSICS LA English DT Article DE CMB; TES ID MICROWAVE BACKGROUND POLARIMETRY; BANDWIDTH AB The Cosmology Large Angular Scale Surveyor (CLASS) will measure the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background to search for and characterize the polarized signature of inflation. CLASS will operate from the Atacama Desert and observe 70 % of the sky. A variable-delay polarization modulator provides modulation of the polarization at 10 Hz to suppress the 1/f noise of the atmosphere and enable the measurement of the large angular scale polarization modes. The measurement of the inflationary signal across angular scales that spans both the recombination and reionization features allows a test of the predicted shape of the polarized angular power spectra in addition to a measurement of the energy scale of inflation. CLASS is an array of telescopes covering frequencies of 38, 93, 148, and 217 GHz. These frequencies straddle the foreground minimum and thus allow the extraction of foregrounds from the primordial signal. Each focal plane contains feedhorn-coupled transition-edge sensors that simultaneously detect two orthogonal linear polarizations. The use of single-crystal silicon as the dielectric for the on-chip transmission lines enables both high efficiency and uniformity in fabrication. Integrated band definition has been implemented that both controls the bandpass of the single-mode transmission on the chip and prevents stray light from coupling to the detectors. C1 [Chuss, D.

TI Initial Performance of Bicep3: A Degree Angular Scale 95 GHz Band Polarimeter SO JOURNAL OF LOW TEMPERATURE PHYSICS LA English DT Article DE Cosmic microwave background; Primordial gravitational waves; Inflation; Instrumentation: polarimetry; Telescopes AB Bicep3 is a 550-mm aperture telescope with cold, on-axis, refractive optics designed to observe at the 95-GHz band from the South Pole. It is the newest member of the Bicep/Keck family of inflationary probes specifically designed to measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) at degree angular scales. Bicep3 is designed to house 1280 dual-polarization pixels, which, when fully populated, totals to 9 the number of pixels in a single Keck 95-GHz receiver, thus further advancing the Bicep/Keck program's 95 GHz mapping speed. Bicep3 was deployed during the austral summer of 2014-2015 with nine detector tiles, to be increased to its full capacity of 20 in the second season. After instrument characterization, measurements were taken, and CMB observation commenced in April 2015. Together with multi-frequency observation data from Planck, Bicep2, and the Keck Array, Bicep3 is projected to set upper limits on the tensor-to-scalar ratio to at 95 % C.L. C1 [Wu, W. L.

TI Advanced ACTPol Cryogenic Detector Arrays and Readout SO JOURNAL OF LOW TEMPERATURE PHYSICS LA English DT Article DE Bolometers; Cosmic microwave background; Millimeter-wave; Polarimetry; Superconducting detectors; Transition edge sensors ID TELESCOPE; COSMOLOGY; MILLIMETER; CAMERA AB Advanced ACTPol is a polarization-sensitive upgrade for the 6 m aperture Atacama Cosmology Telescope, adding new frequencies and increasing sensitivity over the previous ACTPol receiver. In 2016, Advanced ACTPol will begin to map approximately half the sky in five frequency bands (28-230 GHz). Its maps of primary and secondary cosmic microwave background anisotropies-imaged in intensity and polarization at few arcminute-scale resolution-will enable precision cosmological constraints and also a wide array of cross-correlation science that probes the expansion history of the universe and the growth of structure via gravitational collapse. To accomplish these scientific goals, the Advanced ACTPol receiver will be a significant upgrade to the ACTPol receiver, including four new multichroic arrays of cryogenic, feedhorn-coupled AlMn transition edge sensor polarimeters (fabricated on 150 mm diameter wafers); a system of continuously rotating meta-material silicon half-wave plates; and a new multiplexing readout architecture which uses superconducting quantum interference devices and time division to achieve a 64-row multiplexing factor. Here we present the status and scientific goals of the Advanced ACTPol instrument, emphasizing the design and implementation of the Advanced ACTPol cryogenic detector arrays. C1 [Henderson, S.

TI LiteBIRD: Mission Overview and Focal Plane Layout SO JOURNAL OF LOW TEMPERATURE PHYSICS LA English DT Article DE Inflation; CMB; Polarization; Primordial B-mode; TES bolometer; MKID; Satellite ID POLARIMETERS AB LiteBIRD is a proposed CMB polarization satellite project to probe the inflationary B-mode signal. The satellite is designed to measure the tensor-to-scalar ratio with a 68 % confidence level uncertainty of , including statistical, instrumental systematic, and foreground uncertainties. LiteBIRD will observe the full sky from the second Lagrange point for 3 years. We have a focal plane layout for observing frequency coverage that spans 40-402 GHz to characterize the galactic foregrounds. We have two detector candidates, transition-edge sensor bolometers and microwave kinetic inductance detectors. In both cases, a telecentric focal plane consists of approximately superconducting detectors. We will present the mission overview of LiteBIRD, the project status, and the TES focal plane layout.

HOLMES will perform a calorimetric measurement of the energy released in the decay of Ho and will deploy a large array of transition-edge sensor microcalorimeters with implanted Ho nuclei. The resulting mass sensitivity could be as low as 0.4 eV, and it will also establish the potential of this approach to extend the sensitivity down to 0.1 eV and lower.

TI The HOLMES Experiment SO JOURNAL OF LOW TEMPERATURE PHYSICS LA English DT Article DE Neutrino mass measurement; Electron capture; Holmium; Transition edge sensors ID ELECTRON NEUTRINO MASS; CAPTURE; HO-163 AB The determination of the neutrino mass is an open issue in modern particle physics and astrophysics. The direct mass measurement is the only theory-unrelated experimental tool capable to probe such quantity. The HOLMES experiment will measure the end-point energy of the electron capture decay of Ho, aiming at a statistical sensitivity on the neutrino mass around 1 eV/c. In order to acquire the large needed statistics by keeping the pile-up contribution as low as possible, 1000 transition edge sensors will be readout simultaneously with the frequency domain readout, a multiplexing technique where the multiplex factor is only limited by the bandwidth of the available commercial fast digitizers. We outline here the HOLMES project with its technical challenges, and its status and perspectives.

TI Absolute Energy Calibration of X-ray TESs with 0.04 eV Uncertainty at 6.4 keV in a Hadron-Beam Environment SO JOURNAL OF LOW TEMPERATURE PHYSICS LA English DT Article DE Transition-edge sensor; Hadronic atom; X-ray spectroscopy; X-ray energy calibration; X-ray response; Low-energy tail ID RESOLUTION; PHYSICS; SYSTEM; ATOMS AB A performance evaluation of superconducting transition-edge sensors (TESs) in the environment of a pion beam line at a particle accelerator is presented. Averaged across the 209 functioning sensors in the array, the achieved energy resolution is 5.2 eV FWHM at Co (6.9 keV) when the pion beam is off and 7.3 eV at a beam rate of 1.45 MHz. Absolute energy uncertainty of 0.04 eV is demonstrated for Fe (6.4 keV) with in-situ energy calibration obtained from other nearby known X-ray lines. To achieve this small uncertainty, it is essential to consider the non-Gaussian energy response of the TESs and thermal cross-talk pile-up effects due to charged particle hits in the silicon substrate of the TES array.

TI Quantitative Analysis of Plutonium Content in Particles Collected from a Certified Reference Material by Total Nuclear Reaction Energy (Q Value) Spectroscopy SO JOURNAL OF LOW TEMPERATURE PHYSICS LA English DT Article DE Microcalorimeter Q value spectroscopy; Plutonium particles ID DETECTORS AB Microcalorimeters with embedded radioisotopes are an emerging category of sensor with advantages over existing methods for isotopic analysis of trace-level nuclear materials. For each nuclear decay, the energy of all decay products captured by the absorber (alpha particles, gamma rays, X-rays, electrons, daughter nuclei, etc.) is measured in one pulse. For alpha-decaying isotopes, this gives a measurement of the total nuclear reaction energy (Q value) and the spectra consist of well-separated, narrow peaks. We have demonstrated a simple mechanical alloying process to create an absorber structure consisting of a gold matrix with small inclusions of a radioactive sample. This absorber structure provides an optimized energy thermalization environment, resulting in high-resolution spectra with minimal tailing. We have applied this process to the analysis of particles collected from the surface of a plutonium metal certified reference material (CRM-126A from New Brunswick Laboratory) and demonstrated isotopic analysis by microcalorimeter Q value spectroscopy. Energy resolution from the Gaussian component of a Bortels function fit was 1.3 keV FWHM at 5244 keV. The collected particles were integrated directly into the detector absorber without any chemical processing. The Pu/Pu and Pu/Pu mass ratios were measured and the results confirmed against the certificate of analysis for the reference material. We also demonstrated inter-element analysis capability by measuring the Am/Pu mass ratio. C1 [Croce, M. P.; Hoover, A. S.; Rabin, M. W.; Bond, E. M.; Wolfsberg, L.

TI Development of Holmium-163 Electron-Capture Spectroscopy with Transition-Edge Sensors SO JOURNAL OF LOW TEMPERATURE PHYSICS LA English DT Article DE Neutrino mass; Electron-capture spectroscopy; Holmium-163 ID NEUTRINO MASS MEASUREMENTS; MICROCALORIMETER DETECTORS; DECAY AB Calorimetric decay energy spectroscopy of electron-capture-decaying isotopes is a promising method to achieve the sensitivity required for electron neutrino mass measurement. The very low total nuclear decay energy 3 keV) and short half-life (4570 years) of Ho make it attractive for high-precision electron-capture spectroscopy (ECS) near the kinematic endpoint, where the neutrino momentum goes to zero. In the ECS approach, an electron-capture-decaying isotope is embedded inside a microcalorimeter designed to capture and measure the energy of all the decay radiation except that of the escaping neutrino. We have developed a complete process for proton irradiation-based isotope production, isolation, and purification of Ho. We have developed transition-edge sensors for this measurement and methods for incorporating Ho into high-resolution microcalorimeters, and have measured the electron-capture spectrum of Ho. We present our work in these areas and discuss the measured spectrum and its comparison to current theory. C1 [Croce, M. P.; Rabin, M. W.; Mocko, V.; Kunde, G. J.; Birnbaum, E. R.; Bond, E.

TI Toward the identification, characterization and experimental culture of Lacazia loboi from Atlantic bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) SO MEDICAL MYCOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Lobomycosis; Lacazia loboi; bottlenose dolphin ID SKIN-LESIONS; LOBOMYCOSIS; DISEASE; HUMANS; CELLS; MICE AB Lobomycosis (lacaziosis) is a chronic, granulomatous, fungal infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissues of humans and dolphins. To date, the causative agent, the yeast-like organism Lacazia loboi, has not been grown in the laboratory, and there have been no recent reports describing attempts to culture the organism. As a result, studies on the efficacy of therapeutics and potential environmental reservoirs have not been conducted. Therefore, the objective of the current study was to utilize both classical and novel microbiological methods in order to stimulate growth of Lacazia cells collected from dolphin lesions. This included the experimental inoculation of novel media, cell culture, and the use of artificial skin matrices. Although unsuccessful, the methods and results of this study provide important insight into new approaches that could be utilized in future investigations of this elusive organism.

TI Scale-dependent regional climate predictability over North America inferred from CMIP3 and CMIP5 ensemble simulations SO ADVANCES IN ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES LA English DT Article DE regional climate predictability; CMIP5 ensemble; North America climate change ID SURFACE AIR-TEMPERATURE; PROJECTIONS; RAINFALL; MODELS; CHINA AB Through the analysis of ensembles of coupled model simulations and projections collected from CMIP3 and CMIP5, we demonstrate that a fundamental spatial scale limit might exist below which useful additional refinement of climate model predictions and projections may not be possible. That limit varies among climate variables and from region to region. We show that the uncertainty (noise) in surface temperature predictions (represented by the spread among an ensemble of global climate model simulations) generally exceeds the ensemble mean (signal) at horizontal scales below 1000 km throughout North America, implying poor predictability at those scales. More limited skill is shown for the predictability of regional precipitation. The ensemble spread in this case tends to exceed or equal the ensemble mean for scales below 2000 km. These findings highlight the challenges in predicting regionally specific future climate anomalies, especially for hydroclimatic impacts such as drought and wetness.

SO ECOLOGICAL ECONOMICS LA English DT Article DE Coral reefs; Sharks; Guam; Ecosystem-based management; Tourism ID DISCRETE-CHOICE EXPERIMENTS; STATED PREFERENCE METHODS; MARINE PROTECTED AREAS; ENVIRONMENTAL VALUATION; SCUBA-DIVERS; CONTINGENT VALUATION; CONSUMER-BEHAVIOR; MIXED-METHODS; FLORIDA-KEYS; VALUES AB Coral reefs are increasingly threatened despite being essential to coastal and island economies, particularly in the Pacific. The diving industry relies on healthy reefs and can be positively and/or negatively impacted by ecological change. Quantifying divers' ecological preferences that influence economic outcomes can help inform managers and justify conservation. Utilizing non-market valuation, we assess SCUBA divers' preferences for ecological attributes of coral reef ecosystems in Guam, estimate WTP for coastal and watershed management, and investigate drivers influencing preferences. A discrete choice experiment grounded in ecosystem modeling reveals divers prefer reefs with greater ecological health (higher fish biomass, diversity, and charismatic species). Individuals with stronger environmental values expressed stronger ecological preferences. Fish biomass improvement from low (<25 g/m(2)) to high (>60 g/m(2)) was worth >$2 million/year. The presence of sharks and turtles together was the preeminent attribute, worth $15-20 million/year. Divers are willing to voluntarily contribute ($900thousand) towards watershed sediment-reduction projects that could benefit divers by improving reef conditions. Few policies are in place worldwide collecting fees from divers for coral reef management, and none in Guam. Our results suggest that understanding divers' preferences and the drivers behind them may assist managers in designing policies that capture divers WTP and create partners in conservation.

TI Surgeons and suture zones: Hybridization among four surgeonfish species in the Indo-Pacific with variable evolutionary outcomes SO MOLECULAR PHYLOGENETICS AND EVOLUTION LA English DT Article DE Acanthuridae; Coral reef fish; Introgression; Reverse speciation; Species complex ID CORAL-REEF FISHES; ADAPTIVE RADIATION; MITOCHONDRIAL-DNA; POPULATION-GROWTH; GENETIC-STRUCTURE; ISOLATED ISLANDS; FAMILY LABRIDAE; INDIAN-OCEAN; SPECIATION; BUTTERFLYFISHES AB Closely related species can provide valuable insights into evolutionary processes through comparison of their ecology, geographic distribution and the history recorded in their genomes. In the Indo-Pacific, many reef fishes are divided into sister species that come into secondary contact at biogeographic borders, most prominently where Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean faunas meet. It is unclear whether hybridization in this contact zone represents incomplete speciation, secondary contact, an evolutionary dead-end (for hybrids) or some combination of the above. To address these issues, we conducted comprehensive surveys of two widely-distributed surgeonfish species, Acanthurus leucosternon (N = 141) and A. nigricans (N = 412), with mtDNA cytochrome b sequences and ten microsatellite loci. These surgeon fishes are found primarily in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, respectively, but overlap at the Christmas and Cocos-Keeling Islands hybrid zone in the eastern Indian Ocean. We also sampled the two other Pacific members of this species complex, A. achilles (N = 54) and A. japonicas (N = 49), which are known to hybridize with A. nigricans where their ranges overlap. Our results indicate separation between the four species that range from the recent Pleistocene to late Pliocene (235,000-2.25 million years ago). The Pacific A. achilles is the most divergent (and possibly ancestral) species with mtDNA d(corr) approximate to 0.04, whereas the other two Pacific species (A. japonicas and A. nigricans) are distinguishable only at a population or subspecies level (Phi(ST) = 0.6533, P < 0.001). Little population structure was observed within species, with evidence of recent population expansion across all four geographic ranges. We detected sharing of mtDNA haplotypes between species and extensive hybridization based on microsatellites, consistent with later generation hybrids but also the effects of allele homoplasy. Despite extensive introgression, 98% of specimens had concordance between mtDNA lineage and species identification based on external morphology, indicating that species integrity may not be eroding. The A. nigricans complex demonstrates a range of outcomes from incomplete speciation to secondary contact to decreasing hybridization with increasing evolutionary depth. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc.

It stems from the digitization of manufacturing and is fueled by advances in additive manufacturing and material science. This paper strives to provide a critical examination of this new paradigm in a historical and technological context and to show that it requires non-trivial extensions and generalizations of the classical theoretical foundation and algorithmic solutions originally developed for solid modeling. Specifically, it requires new models and data-intensive representations for materials, physical behavior, and manufacturing processes across multiple scales. In particular, we argue that most computational tasks that support traditional and emerging manufacturing may be formulated systematically and addressed in terms of relations (conversions, synthesis, change propagation updates, verification, and other harmonization activities) among four views (manifestations) of an engineered artifact: Functional, which captures the design constraints and tolerances on shape, properties, and behavior; Designed, which represents a toleranced design that satisfies these constraints; Planned, which defines a manufacturing process plan; Simulated, which models the expected outcome of the process plan; and a Real sample set of physical artifacts produced by executing the process plan on a particular manufacturing technology.

A modular aperture system and a cantilever-style sample holder that enable comprehensive angular selectivity of forward-scattered electrons are described. When combined with a commercially available solid-state transmission detector having only basic bright-field and dark-field imaging capabilities, the advances described here enable numerous transmission imaging modes.

However, there is little evidence regarding the prevalence and magnitude of time-varying growth for exploited marine fishes in general, whether it is best approximated using changes in length-at-age or weight-at-length parameters, or how it can be represented parsimoniously. We therefore use a database of average weight in each year and age for 91 marine fish stocks from 25 species, and fit models with random variation in length and weight parameters by year, age, or cohort (birth-year). Results show that year effects are more parsimonious than age or cohort effects and that variation in length and weight parameters provide roughly similar fit to average weight-at-age data, although length parameters show a greater magnitude of variability than weight parameters. Finally, the saturated model can explain nearly 2/3 of total variability, while a single time-varying factor can explain nearly 1/2 of variability in weight-at-age data. We conclude that time-varying growth can often be estimated parsimoniously using a single time-varying factor, either internally or prior to including 'empirical' weight at age in population dynamics models.

TI Variation in growth among individuals and over time: A case study and simulation experiment involving tagged Antarctic toothfish SO FISHERIES RESEARCH LA English DT Article DE Antarctic toothfish; Time-varying growth; Random effect; von Bertalanffy growth; Individual growth variation; Persistent growth variation; Transient growth variation ID VARIABILITY; FISHERY; MODELS; CONSEQUENCES; MANAGEMENT; ECOSYSTEM; ERROR AB Organisms in the marine environment are likely to exhibit variation in growth rates among individuals, and this variation may be persistent (particular individuals growing faster/slower throughout their entire lifetime) or transient (particular individuals growing faster in one year than another year). Understanding variation in growth is necessary when interpreting data regarding size (length or weight) in population models, or when estimating growth given data for tagged individuals. In this study, we explicitly model persistent and transient variation in growth rates among individuals in a wild marine population of Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni) in the Ross Sea, in addition to sex-specific differences in average growth rates. The model is implemented using maximum marginal likelihood estimation and validated using a simulation study. The code is distributed as a publicly available package TagGrowth in the R statistical environment. Using simulated data, we show that we can accurately estimate parameters representing the magnitude of persistent and transient variation in growth rates, and that parameters estimated in these models are reasonably precise given the case study sample sizes (315 individuals tagged and recaptured over 10 years). The case study application suggests that transient variation among individuals accounts for up to half of the total variability in Antarctic toothfish. We conclude by recommending further research to additionally estimate temporal and spatial variation in growth rates. Estimating the relative magnitude of multiple sources of growth variation will improve our ability to assess the sensitivity of existing population models to growth variation, as well as to understand the range of variation exhibited by wild marine populations.

Obtaining sufficient numbers of age estimates is not a trivial task, as it requires considerable sampling effort, the development of aging criteria, the validation of age observations, and, finally, the production aging of sufficient numbers of age structures to inform the assessment models. In this study, we evaluated the influence of CAAL data in several assessment models of West Coast groundfish, by both randomly selecting only portions of available CAAL data and by selecting intermittent numbers of years of CAAL data for inclusion in models. These sensitivity tests were conducted on recent stock assessment models for Blackgill Rockfish (Sebastes melanostomus), Bocaccio (Sebastes paucispinis), and Pacific Sanddab (Citharichthys sordidus), as these three species represent a fairly wide range of life history types. The results showed that for the Bocaccio model, the assessment outputs from model runs with reduced numbers of CAAL data were very comparable with the model run with all available data. However, when CAAL data were reduced, the Blackgill and Sanddab models estimated different spawning outputs, stock depletions, and growth functions. Reducing CAAL data in these two models also resulted in larger estimation uncertainties in the assessment outputs. Overall, our results suggest that it is important to obtain more age data from long-lived species over as long a time span as possible, and aging samples from intermittent years may be considered if there are constraints in time or effort to age all available samples.

TI The effect of length bin width on growth estimation in integrated age-structured stock assessments SO FISHERIES RESEARCH LA English DT Article DE Fisheries stock assessment; Simulation testing; Somatic growth; Stock synthesis; ss3sim ID ASSESSMENT MODELS; ASSUMPTIONS; MANAGEMENT; LIKELIHOOD; FRAMEWORK AB Analysts conducting stock assessments using integrated, age-structured models must discretize length data into a limited number of bins (data bins). Furthermore, some modeling frameworks also allow users to specify a distinct structure for how lengths of fish are represented in the model (model bins). The effect of choices regarding the number and width of these bins on model output is unclear, and these choices are made inconsistently in assessments across regions and species. Here, we used the stock synthesis modeling framework, and the ss3sim stock assessment simulation package, to explore the effects of choices about length discretization on stock assessment performance for three fish life-history types and four data cases. We found that, with all other aspects of a model fixed, increasing the model bin width tended to increase estimates of spawning biomass, but this effect depended on the shape of length based processes (e.g., growth, maturity, and selectivity). Thus, we suggest analysts using model bins wider than 1 cm explore the effect of this decision on derived management quantities. In the context of estimation, there generally was a predictable tradeoff between estimation accuracy and model run time, with finer model and data bins always improving estimation accuracy and model convergence, but increasing run time. In some cases, wider data bins reduced run time (by up to 50%) with little sacrifice in model estimation performance, particularly those using conditional age-at-length data. This study identifies key aspects to consider when binning length, and provides pertinent information for stock assessment best practice guidelines. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

TI An empirical weight-at-age approach reduces estimation bias compared to modeling parametric growth in integrated, statistical stock assessment models when growth is time varying SO FISHERIES RESEARCH LA English DT Article DE Empirical weight-at-age information; Fisheries stock assessment; Time-varying growth; ss3sim; Stock Synthesis ID GEAR SELECTIVITY; FISH GROWTH; MANAGEMENT; SIZE AB Somatic growth in fishes often varies through time. Despite this, most stock assessments either fix or estimate a time-invariant growth relationship because estimating time-varying growth parameters can be data intensive and subject to multiple sources of bias. Additionally, estimates of growth are often confounded with estimates of selectivity, particularly if selectivity is also time varying. Incorporating empirical weight-at-age (EWAA) information into assessments is a little-studied alternative that accounts for time-varying growth, but foregoes fixing or estimating growth and length-weight relationships. However, this method requires annual measures of fish weights at each age, and missing values must therefore be interpolated. We used Stock Synthesis in a simulation-testing framework to compare the effect of estimating a single time-invariant growth curve, time-varying growth curves, and incorporating EWAA information on management quantities and parameter estimates. We ran simulations across two fish life histories (hake-like and rockfish-like) and three data cases (data-rich, data-rich with a late-starting survey, and data-moderate). We found that when growth was time invariant, the EWAA approach was unbiased but had twice the median average relative error compared to a model that estimated growth from age and length data. However, for data-rich cases with time-varying growth, the EWAA method resulted in more accurate estimates of spawning stock biomass compared to the approach that estimated time-invariant and time-varying growth parameters, as evidenced by at least a five-fold reduction in range of median relative errors. The magnitude of this effect was greatest for the long-lived, slow growing life history. For the relatively fast-growing species, estimates from the EWAA method were particularly sensitive to interpolating missing values. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

TI Evaluation of using random-at-length observations and an equilibrium approximation of the population age structure in fitting the von Bertalanffy growth function SO FISHERIES RESEARCH LA English DT Article DE von Bertalanffy; Growth; Growth estimation ID FISHERIES STOCK ASSESSMENT; PACIFIC ALBACORE; THUNNUS ALALUNGA; MODEL; SELECTIVITY; MORTALITY; PARAMETERS; LIKELIHOOD; OCEAN AB When paired age length samples are collected from fishery data, estimation of the growth function parameters has typically assumed that each length observation is a random sample of fish for a given age (traditional method). An alternative methodology (length-conditional) assumes each age sample taken is random with respect to that length. The length-conditional method uses the underlying population age structure to derive predictions and therefore has been limited to implementation inside the stock assessment model. This paper used simulation methods to evaluate the estimates of the von Bertalanffy growth parameters outside the assessment model using the traditional method and a length-conditional method based on an equilibrium approximation to the population age structure derived from an estimate of the total mortality rate. Both random and length-stratified sampling designs were evaluated along with a range of sample sizes. With a random sampling design, both the traditional and approximate length conditional methods produced unbiased estimates of L-inf and K. However, only the approximate length conditional approach produced unbiased estimates when samples were length-stratified. Variability in the length-at-age relationship was better estimated by the approximate length-conditional approach for both sampling designs. The approximate length-conditional method was robust to small errors in total mortality rate, but biased with increasing levels of mortality misspecification. With a reasonable estimate of total mortality, the approximate length-conditional approach may be a viable alternative to the traditional method when estimating growth parameters, especially the variability in growth.

David TI Using an approximate length-conditional approach to estimate von Bertalanffy growth parameters of North Pacific albacore (Thunnus alalunga) SO FISHERIES RESEARCH LA English DT Article DE North Pacific albacore; Thunnus alalunga; Fit von Bertalanffy growth model; Conditional age-at-length data ID STOCK ASSESSMENT; SELECTIVITY; MORTALITY; MODEL; AGE AB Growth models in stock assessments can strongly influence the estimated biomass that affect the conclusion of stock status and exploitation level. Recent studies on North Pacific albacore (Thunnus alalunga) growth obtained age-length data from hard parts and fit the age-length data to a von Bertalanffy growth model, assuming each observation of length is a random sample for a given age. However, these previous studies may have resulted in biased growth parameter estimates because these samples were not chosen at random and hence violated the assumptions of the method. In this study, we instead use an "approximate length-conditional" approach, which assumes that each fish is a random sample from that length bin based on an equilibrium population age structure, to fit age-length data from three previous studies. Results of the length-conditional approach resulted in a sex-combined growth curve that is similar to the previous estimates over the young and mid ages (age 2-6) but with different asymptotic lengths. Estimated growth parameters were not highly sensitive to assumed mortality rates but changing the data-weighting scheme can result in differences in estimated growth parameters. Although the length conditional approach likely result in less biased estimated length-at-ages, especially for the youngest and oldest ages, the estimated growth curves from this study may not be representative of the stock due to potential regional differences in growth, and age and sex-specific movements.

TI Biases in biomass estimates: The effect of bin width in size-structured stock assessment methods SO FISHERIES RESEARCH LA English DT Article DE Estimating growth; Size-structured assessment; Simulation; Bin width; Pribilof Islands red king crab ID EASTERN BERING-SEA; MANAGEMENT; FISHERY AB Size-structured assessment models require size data to be binned, but it is unclear how a specified bin width can impact the ability of an assessment to estimate quantities important in management. Biases in estimated mature biomass are demonstrated here when increasing the bin width using a simulation framework based on the Pribilof Islands red king crab (PIRKC) assessment. Several potential sources of bias were explored through simulation. The bias was removed by applying an alternative assessment method which used a finer approximation of the integral representing the probability of a crab molting from one size bin. Trade-offs exist at both sides of the bin width spectrum. Precision and model stability may suffer when bin width is too large; slowed parameter estimation and problems fitting multinomial likelihoods to length frequency data may appear when bin widths are too small. Simulation studies (like the one presented here) are useful for identifying optimal bin width for management related tasks. Published by Elsevier B.V. C1 [Szuwalski, C.

The compositions of the gravimetrically prepared mixtures were (0.50104 and 0.74981) mole fraction carbon dioxide. The vibrational relaxation of pure carbon dioxide led to high sound absorption, which significantly impeded the sound-speed measurements on carbon dioxide and its mixtures; pre-condensation may have also affected the results for some measurements near the dew line. Thus, in contrast to the standard operating procedure for speed-of-sound measurements with a spherical resonator, non-radial resonances at lower frequencies were taken into account. Still, the data show a comparatively large scatter, and the usual repeatability of this general type of instrument could not be realized with the present measurements. Nonetheless, the average relative combined expanded uncertainty (k = 2) in speed of sound ranged from (0.042 to 0.056)% for both mixtures, with individual state-point uncertainties increasing to 0.1%. These uncertainties are adequate for our intended purpose of evaluating thermodynamic models. The results are compared to a Helmholtz energy equation of state for carbon capture and storage applications; relative deviations of (-0.64 to 0.08)% for the (0.49896 argon + 0.50104 carbon dioxide) mixture, and of (-1.52 to 0.77)% for the (0.25019 argon + 0.74981 carbon dioxide) mixture were observed.

The (p, rho, T, x) behavior of three (methane + propane) mixtures was investigated with a two-sinker magnetic suspension densimeter over the temperature range of (248.15-293.15) K; the measurements extended from low pressures into the two-phase region. The compositions of the gravimetrically prepared mixtures were (0.74977, 0.50688, and 0.26579) mole fraction methane. We analyzed isothermal data by: (1) a "traditional" analysis of the intersection of a virial fit of the (p vs. p) data in the single-phase region with a linear fit of the data in the two-phase region; and (2) an analysis of the adsorbed mass on the sinker surfaces. We compared these to a traditional isochoric experiment. We conclude that the "adsorbed mass" analysis of an isothermal experiment provides an accurate determination of the dew-point temperature, pressure, and density. However, a two-sinker densimeter is required. Published by Elsevier Ltd. C1 [McLinden, Mark O.; Richter, Markus] NIST, Appl Chem & Mat Div, 325 Broadway,Mailstop 647-07, Boulder, CO 80305 USA.

Namely, we study three circuit models: monotone OR-circuits, monotone SUM-circuits (addition of non-negative integers), and non-monotone XOR-circuits (addition modulo 2). Our focus is on separating OR-circuits from the two other models in terms of circuit complexity: (1) We show how to obtain matrices that admit OR-circuits of size O(n), but require SUM circuits of size Omega (n(3/2)/log(2) n). (2) We consider the task of rewriting a given OR-circuit as a XOR-circuit and prove that any subquadratic-time algorithm for this task violates the strong exponential time hypothesis.

First, vibrational disorder causes major changes in the absorption spectrum, originating not only from the thermal population of phonons, but, significantly, from zero-point motion as well. Second, the anomalously large broadening (similar to 4 eV) of the emission originating from nitrate s states is due to the unusually short lifetimes of quasiparticles in an otherwise extremely narrow band. In this work, we investigate the coupling of these effects to core and valence excitons that are created as the initial x-ray excitation energy is progressively reduced toward the N edge. Using a GW/Bethe-Salpeter approach, we show the extent to which this anomalous broadening is captured by the GW approximation. The data and calculations demonstrate the importance that the complex self-energies (finite lifetimes) of the valence bands have on the interpretation of emission spectra. We produce a scheme to explain why extreme lifetimes should appear in s states of other similar compounds. C1 [Vinson, John; Jach, Terrence] NIST, Mat Measurement Lab, Gaithersburg, MD 20899 USA.

Here we demonstrate the critical influence of climate variability, interacting with accumulated nitrogen (N) over multidecades, on Susquehanna River dissolved nitrogen (DN) loads, known precursors of the hypoxia in the Bay. We used the process model LM3-TAN (Terrestrial and Aquatic Nitrogen), which is capable of capturing both seasonal and decadal-to-century changes in vegetation-soil-river N storage, and produced nine scenarios of DN-load distributions under different short-term scenarios of climate variability and extremes. We illustrate that after 1 to 3 yearlong dry spells, the likelihood of exceeding a threshold DN load (56ktyr(-1)) increases by 40 to 65% due to flushing of N accumulated throughout the dry spells and altered microbial processes. Our analyses suggest that possible future increases in climate variability/extremesspecifically, high precipitation occurring after multiyear dry spellscould likely lead to high DN-load anomalies and hypoxia.

We use a Demand-Sensitive Drought Index to examine the impacts of agricultural water needs, driven by low precipitation, high agricultural water demand, or a combination of both, on the temporal variability of depth to groundwater across the CONUS. We characterize the relationship between changes in groundwater levels, agricultural water deficits relative to precipitation during the growing season, and winter precipitation. We find that declines in groundwater levels in the High Plains aquifer and around the Mississippi River Valley are driven by groundwater withdrawals used to supplement agricultural water demands. Reductions in agricultural water demands for crops do not, however, lead to immediate recovery of groundwater levels due to the demand for groundwater in other sectors in regions such as Utah, Maryland, and Texas.

The isoprene-OH reaction can be affected by the interplay between chemistry and mixing because the two processes occur at a similar time scale. We investigate the impact of turbulent mixing on isoprene-OH reactivity with large eddy simulations (LES) coupled with comprehensive chemistry. Our results show that the covariance of isoprene and OH causes similar to 20% decrease to similar to 10% increase of the horizontal average reaction rate, depending on nitrogen oxides (NOx=NO+NO2) abundances, compared to the rate that neglects the covariance. This wide range of effects on reaction rates is caused by the primary production and loss reactions of OH in each NOx regime. Our research promotes the use of LES for better understanding the role of turbulence in isoprene-OH reaction and parameterizations in large-scale models.

These areas are reduced by applying additional terrain averaging, which damps out the unphysical components of small-scale (similar to 2x) energy aloft induced by unfiltered topography in the initialization of the WRF model. First, a control simulation with the same design of the WRF-RAP model shows that the large-scale atmospheric conditions are well simulated but predict strong turbulence over the western mountainous region. Four experiments with different levels of additional terrain smoothing are applied in the initialization of the model integrations, which significantly reduce spurious mountain-wave-like features, leading to better turbulence forecasts more consistent with the observed data.

TI Effects of Protein Conformation, Apparent Solubility, and Protein-Protein Interactions on the Rates and Mechanisms of Aggregation for an IgG1Monoclonal Antibody SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY B LA English DT Article ID NUCLEATED-POLYMERIZATION MODEL; IGG1 MONOCLONAL-ANTIBODIES; NATIVE-STATE SOLUBILITY; 2ND VIRIAL-COEFFICIENT; FORMULATION DEVELOPMENT; THERAPEUTIC PROTEINS; PARTICLE FORMATION; LIGHT-SCATTERING; MACROMOLECULES; IMMUNOGENICITY AB Non-native protein aggregation is a key degradation pathway of immunoglobulins. In this work, the aggregation kinetics of an immunoglobulin gamma-1 monoclonal antibody (IgG1 mAb) in different solution environments was monitored over a range of incubation temperatures for up to seven months using size exclusion chromatography. Histidine and citrate buffers with/without sodium chloride were employed to modulate the mAb's conformational stability, solubility (in the presence of polyethylene glycol, PEG), and protein protein interactions as measured by differential scanning calorimetry, PEG precipitation, and static light scattering, respectively. The effect of these parameters on the mechanism(s) of mAb aggregation during storage at different temperatures was determined using kinetic models, which were used to fit aggregation data to determine rate constants for aggregate nucleation and growth processes. This approach was used to investigate the effects of colloidal protein protein interactions and solubility values (in PEG solutions) on the mechanisms and rates of IgG1 mAb aggregation as a function of temperature-induced structural perturbations. Aggregate nucleation and growth pathways for this IgG1 mAb were sensitive to temperature and overall conformational stability. Aggregate growth, on the other hand, was also sensitive to conditions affecting the solubility of the mAb, particularly at elevated temperatures.

TI Bose Polarons in the Strongly Interacting Regime SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article ID IMPURITY; DYNAMICS; GAS AB When an impurity is immersed in a Bose-Einstein condensate, impurity-boson interactions are expected to dress the impurity into a quasiparticle, the Bose polaron. We superimpose an ultracold atomic gas of Rb-87 with a much lower density gas of fermionic K-40 impurities. Through the use of a Feshbach resonance and radio-frequency spectroscopy, we characterize the energy, spectral width, and lifetime of the resultant polaron on both the attractive and the repulsive branches in the strongly interacting regime. The width of the polaron in the attractive branch is narrow compared to its binding energy, even as the two-body scattering length diverges. C1 [Hu, Ming-Guang] NIST, JILA, Boulder, CO 80309 USA.

TI Elevated Colonization of Microborers at a Volcanically Acidified Coral Reef SO PLOS ONE LA English DT Article ID GREAT-BARRIER-REEF; OCEAN ACIDIFICATION; FRENCH-POLYNESIA; ANTHROPOGENIC CO2; ENDOLITHIC ALGAE; BIOEROSION RATES; PORITES-LOBATA; CLIMATE-CHANGE; SKELETONS; INCREASE AB Experiments have demonstrated that ocean acidification (OA) conditions projected to occur by the end of the century will slow the calcification of numerous coral species and accelerate the biological erosion of reef habitats (bioerosion). Microborers, which bore holes less than 100 mu m diameter, are one of the most pervasive agents of bioerosion and are present throughout all calcium carbonate substrates within the reef environment. The response of diverse reef functional groups to OA is known from real-world ecosystems, but to date our understanding of the relationship between ocean pH and carbonate dissolution by microborers is limited to controlled laboratory experiments. Here we examine the settlement of microborers to pure mineral calcium carbonate substrates (calcite) along a natural pH gradient at a volcanically acidified reef at Maug, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI). Colonization of pioneer microborers was higher in the lower pH waters near the vent field. Depth of microborer penetration was highly variable both among and within sites (4.2-195.5 mu m) over the short duration of the study (3 mo.) and no clear relationship to increasing CO2 was observed. Calculated rates of biogenic dissolution, however, were highest at the two sites closer to the vent and were not significantly different from each other. These data represent the first evidence of OA-enhancement of microboring flora colonization in newly available substrates and provide further evidence that microborers, especially bioeroding chlorophytes, respond positively to low pH. The accelerated breakdown and dissolution of reef framework structures with OA will likely lead to declines in structural complexity and integrity, as well as possible loss of essential habitat.

Wayne TI Rapid Extraction and Identification of Maitotoxin and Ciguatoxin-Like Toxins from Caribbean and Pacific Gambierdiscus Using a New Functional Bioassay SO PLOS ONE LA English DT Article ID SP-NOV; BENTHIC DINOFLAGELLATE; GENUS GAMBIERDISCUS; CARANX-LATUS; DINOPHYCEAE; CIGUATERA; TOXICITY; GONYAULACALES; BREVETOXINS; SAXITOXINS AB Background Ciguatera is a circumtropical disease produced by polyether sodium channel toxins (ciguatoxins) that enter the marine food chain and accumulate in otherwise edible fish. Ciguatoxins, as well as potent water-soluble polyethers known as maitotoxins, are produced by certain dinoflagellate species in the genus Gambierdiscus and Fukuyoa spp. in the Pacific but little is known of the potential of related Caribbean species to produce these toxins. Methods We established a simplified procedure for extracting polyether toxins from Gambierdiscus and Fukuyoa spp. based on the ciguatoxin rapid extraction method (CREM). Fractionated extracts from identified Pacific and Caribbean isolates were analysed using a functional bioassay that recorded intracellular calcium changes (Ca2+) in response to sample addition in SH-SY5Y cells. Maitotoxin directly elevated Ca-i(2+), while low levels of ciguatoxin-like toxins were detected using veratridine to enhance responses. Results We identified significant maitotoxin production in 11 of 12 isolates analysed, with 6 of 12 producing at least two forms of maitotoxin. In contrast, only 2 Caribbean isolates produced detectable levels of ciguatoxin-like activity despite a detection limit of >30 pM. Significant strain-dependent differences in the levels and types of ciguatoxins and maitotoxins produced by the same Gambierdiscus spp. were also identified. Conclusions The ability to rapidly identify polyether toxins produced by Gambierdiscus spp. in culture has the potential to distinguish ciguatoxin-producing species prior to large-scale culture and in naturally occurring blooms of Gambierdiscus and Fukuyoa spp. Our results have implications for the evaluation of ciguatera risk associated with Gambierdiscus and related species.

By varying the reaction environment with sequential (CO and N-2) purging of the supporting electrolyte and the Au surface morphology with CO annealing, we were able to assign adsorbed CO to terrace-like and step-like sites to deconvolute the corresponding time- and potential-dependent IR spectra. The results of these spectral deconvolutions suggest strongly that in the CO-saturated supporting electrolyte the weakly bound CO interacted mainly with the strongly adsorbed CO on the step-like sites and likely formed a dipolar-coupled weak interacting pair with the latter. Model ab initio density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirm the existence of the weakly bound CO only over a CO monolayer adsorbed on the step-like Au sites. The weakly bound CO was also identified as the active reaction intermediate for CO oxidation reaction (COR) in the CO-saturated acidic supporting electrolyte and therefore was proposed to be largely responsible for the high COR activity frequently observed on Au electrodes.

Quenching of metal deposition is accompanied by an increase in dissipative energy loss in microbalance experiments attributed to increased hydrogen bonding to the adjacent double layer. Pulse deposition at -1.5 V-SSCE in 5 mmol/L (NiCl2, CoCl2, FeSO4) - 0.1 mol/L NaCl pH 3.0 electrolytes yields fully coalesced ultrathin films of Ni, Co, Fe, or alloys thereof, on Au. The film thickness is controlled by the nucleation, growth, and termination dynamics constrained by the electrochemical cell time constant. Precipitation of bulk Ni(OH)(2) and related phases is minimized by using short deposition times and dilute metal cation concentrations to limit supersaturation. The rapid deposition of smooth, compact ultrathin Fe, Co, and Ni films should facilitate mechanistic and durability studies of Fe-group metal catalysis and the fabrication of emerging microdevices.

TI High resolution spectroscopy of jet cooled phenyl radical: The nu(1) and nu(2) a(1) symmetry C-H stretching modes SO JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID INFRARED-ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY; ELECTRON-SPIN-RESONANCE; LASER SPECTROSCOPY; IR SPECTROSCOPY; ARGON MATRICES; INERTIA DEFECT; GAS-PHASE; DEGREES K; MOLECULES; KINETICS AB A series of CH stretch modes in phenyl radical (C6H5) has been investigated via high resolution infrared spectroscopy at sub-Doppler resolution (similar to 60 MHz) in a supersonic discharge slit jet expansion. Two fundamental vibrations of a(1) symmetry, nu(1) and nu(2), are observed and rotationally analyzed for the first time, corresponding to in-phase and out-of-phase symmetric CH stretch excitation at the ortho/meta/para and ortho/para C atoms with respect to the radical center. The nu(1) and nu(2) band origins are determined to be 3073.968 50(8) cm(-1) and 3062.264 80(7) cm(-1), respectively, which both agree within 5 cm(-1) with theoretical anharmonic scaling predictions based on density functional B3LYP/6-311g++(3df,3dp) calculations. Integrated band strengths for each of the CH stretch bands are analyzed, with the relative intensities agreeing remarkably well with theoretical predictions. Frequency comparison with previous low resolution Ar-matrix spectroscopy [A. V. Friderichsen et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 123, 1977 (2001)] reveals a nearly uniform Delta nu approximate to + 10-12 cm(-1) blue shift between gas phase and Ar matrix values for nu(1) and nu(2). This differs substantially from the much smaller red shift (Delta nu approximate to -1 cm(-1)) reported for the nu(19) mode, and suggests a simple physical model in terms of vibrational mode symmetry and crowding due to the matrix environment. Finally, the infrared phenyl spectra are well described by a simple asymmetric rigid rotor Hamiltonian and show no evidence for spectral congestion due to intramolecular vibrational coupling, which bodes well for high resolution studies of other ring radicals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. In summary, the combination of slit jet discharge methods with high resolution infrared lasers enables spectroscopic investigation of even highly reactive combustion and interstellar radical intermediates under gas phase, jet-cooled (T-rot approximate to 11 K) conditions.

PCNA has two structurally similar domains (I and II) linked by a long loop (inter-domain connector loop, IDCL) on the outside of each monomer of the trimeric structure that makes up the DNA clamp. All proteins that bind to PCNA do so via a PCNA-interacting peptide (PIP) motif that binds near the IDCL. A small protein, called TIP, binds to PCNA and inhibits PCNA-dependent activities although it does not contain a canonical PIP motif. The X-ray crystal structure of TIP bound to PCNA reveals that TIP binds to the canonical PIP interaction site, but also extends beyond it through a helix that relocates the IDCL. TIP alters the relationship between domains I and II within the PCNA monomer such that the trimeric ring structure is broken, while the individual domains largely retain their native structure.

TI Pressure-induced electronic and magnetic phase transitions in a Mott insulator: Ti-doped Ca3Ru2O7 bilayer ruthenate SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID COLOSSAL MAGNETORESISTANCE; SUPERCONDUCTIVITY; SR2RUO4; METAL; CA2-XSR(X)RUO4; CA2RUO4 AB We report the hydrostatic pressure-induced electronic and magnetic phase transitions in a Mott insulator, a bilayer ruthenate Ca-3(Ru0.97Ti0.03)(2)O-7, via electronic transport and single crystal neutron diffraction measurements. The system undergoes an insulator-metal transition at a very small hydrostatic pressure approximate to 0.04GPa, followed by a magnetic phase transition around 0.3 GPa, suggesting that the low energy charge fluctuation and magnetic ordering couple to the pressure separately in this compound. The ab initio calculations show that the suppressed RuO6 flattening induced by the pressure reduces the orbital polarization and gives rise to an insulator-metal transition preceding the magnetic phase transition.

TI Responses of Herbivorous Fishes and Benthos to 6 Years of Protection at the Kahekili Herbivore Fisheries Management Area, Maui SO PLOS ONE LA English DT Article ID CORAL-REEFS; MARINE RESERVE; CLIMATE-CHANGE; PHASE-SHIFTS; HAWAII; RESILIENCE; RECOVERY; RECRUITMENT; COMMUNITIES; MACROALGAE AB In response to concerns about declining coral cover and recurring macroalgal blooms, in 2009 the State of Hawaii established the Kahekili Herbivore Fisheries Management Area (KHFMA). Within the KHFMA, herbivorous fishes and sea urchins are protected, but other fishing is allowed. As part of a multi-agency monitoring effort, we conducted surveys at KHFMA and comparison sites around Maui starting 19 months before closure, and over the six years since implementation of herbivore protection. Mean parrotfish and surgeonfish biomass both increased within the KHFMA (by 139% [95% QR (quantile range): 98-181%] and 28%[95% QR: 3-52%] respectively). Most of those gains were of small-to-medium sized species, whereas large-bodied species have not recovered, likely due to low levels of poaching on what are preferred fishery targets in Hawaii. Nevertheless, coincident with greater biomass of herbivores within the KHFMA, cover of crustose coralline algae (CCA) has increased from similar to 2% before closure to similar to 15% in 2015, and macroalgal cover has remained low throughout the monitoring period. Strong evidence that changes in the KHFMA were a consequence of herbivore management are that (i) there were no changes in biomass of unprotected fish families within the KHFMA; and that (ii) there were no similar changes in parrotfish or CCA at comparison sites around Maui. It is not yet clear how effective herbivore protection might eventually be for the KHFMA's ultimate goal of coral recovery. Coral cover declined over the first few years of surveys-from 39.6%(SE 1.4%) in 2008, to 32.9%(SE 0.8%) in 2012, with almost all of that loss occurring by 2010 (1 year after closure), i.e. before meaningful herbivore recovery had occurred. Coral cover subsequently stabilized and may have slightly increased from 2012 through early 2015. However, a region-wide bleaching event in 2015 had already led to some coral mortality by the time surveys were conducted in late 2015, at which time cover had dropped back to levels recorded in the KHFMA in 2012.

TI Influence of oil and gas emissions on summertime ozone in the Colorado Northern Front Range SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-ATMOSPHERES LA English DT Article ID RING-DOWN SPECTROSCOPY; VOLATILE ORGANIC-COMPOUNDS; GREEN RIVER-BASIN; DENVER CYCLONE; AIR-QUALITY; ATMOSPHERIC LEVELS; REACTIVE NITROGEN; REGIONAL OZONE; BOUNDARY-LAYER; CRDS TECHNIQUE AB Tropospheric O-3 has been decreasing across much of the eastern U.S. but has remained steady or even increased in some western regions. Recent increases in VOC and NOx emissions associated with the production of oil and natural gas (O&NG) may contribute to this trend in some areas. The Northern Front Range of Colorado has regularly exceeded O-3 air quality standards during summertime in recent years. This region has VOC emissions from a rapidly developing O&NG basin and low concentrations of biogenic VOC in close proximity to urban-Denver NOx emissions. Here VOC OH reactivity (OHR), O-3 production efficiency (OPE), and an observationally constrained box model are used to quantify the influence of O&NG emissions on regional summertime O-3 production. Analyses are based on measurements acquired over two summers at a central location within the Northern Front Range that lies between major regional O&NG and urban emission sectors. Observational analyses suggest that mixing obscures any OPE differences in air primarily influenced by O&NG or urban emission sector. The box model confirms relatively modest OPE differences that are within the uncertainties of the field observations. Box model results also indicate that maximum O-3 at the measurement location is sensitive to changes in NOx mixing ratio but also responsive to O&NG VOC reductions. Combined, these analyses show that O&NG alkanes contribute over 80% to the observed carbon mixing ratio, roughly 50% to the regional VOC OHR, and approximately 20% to regional photochemical O-3 production.

TI Further evidence of Chelonid herpesvirus 5 (ChHV5) latency: high levels of ChHV5 DNA detected in clinically healthy marine turtles SO PEERJ LA English DT Article DE Chelonid herpesvirus 5 (ChHV5); Fibropapillomatosis (FP); Glycoprotein B; Clinically healthy; Quantitative PCR; Viral loads; Ubiquitous; Asymptomatic ID FIBROPAPILLOMA-ASSOCIATED HERPESVIRUS; SIMPLEX-VIRUS; GREEN TURTLES; SEA-TURTLES; MYDAS; ESTABLISHMENT; PROTEINS; EXPOSURE; ASSAY AB The Chelonid herpesvirus 5 (ChHV5) has been consistently associated with fibropapillomatosis (FP), a transmissible neoplastic disease of marine turtles. Whether ChHV5 plays a causal role remains debated, partly because while FP tumours have been clearly documented to contain high concentrations of ChHV5 DNA, recent PCR-based studies have demonstrated that large proportions of asymptomatic marine turtles are also carriers of ChHV5. We used a real-time PCR assay to quantify the levels of ChHV5 Glycoprotein B (gB) DNA in both tumour and non-tumour skin tissues, from clinically affected and healthy turtles drawn from distant ocean basins across four species. In agreement with previous studies, higher ratios of viral to host DNA were consistently observed in tumour versus non-tumour tissues in turtles with FP. Unexpectedly however, the levels of ChHV5 gB DNA in clinically healthy turtles were significantly higher than in non-tumour tissues from FP positive turtles. Thus, a large proportion of clinically healthy sea turtle populations worldwide across species carry ChHV5 gB DNA presumably through persistent latent infections. ChHV5 appears to be ubiquitous regardless of the animals' clinical conditions. Hence, these results support the theory that ChHV5 is a near ubiquitous virus with latency characteristics requiring co-factors, possibly environmental or immune related, to induce FP.

TI Interface Engineering for Atomic Layer Deposited Alumina Gate Dielectric on SiGe Substrates SO ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces LA English DT Article DE SiGe; Al2O3; interface traps; MOSCAP; atomic layer deposition; high-k ID MOS; PASSIVATION; IMPACT AB Optimization of the interface between high-k dielectrics and SiGe substrates is a challenging topic due to the complexity arising from the coexistence of Si and Ge interfacial oxides. Defective high-k/SiGe interfaces limit future applications of SiGe as a channel material for electronic devices. In this paper, we identify the surface layer structure of as-received SiGe and Al2O3/SiGe structures based on soft and hard Xray photoelectron spectroscopy. As-received SiGe substrates have native SiOx/GeOx surface layers, where the GeOx-rich layer is beneath a SiOx-rich surface. Silicon oxide regrows on the SiGe surface during Al2O3 atomic layer deposition, and both SiOx and GeOx regrow during forming gas anneal in the presence of a Pt gate metal. The resulting mixed SiOx-GeOx interface layer causes large interface trap densities (D-it) due to distorted Ge-O bonds across the interface. In contrast, we observe that oxygen-scavenging Al top gates decompose the underlying SiOx/GeOx, in a selective fashion, leaving an ultrathin SiOx interfacial layer that exhibits dramatically reduced D-it.

TI Evaluation of Near Real-Time Preliminary Tornado Damage Paths SO JOURNAL OF OPERATIONAL METEOROLOGY LA English DT Article AB The ability to preliminarily diagnose areas damaged by a tornado is examined using both a manual and an automated approach. The manual method consists of using Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler base data to track radar-indicated centroids of low-level rotation over the entirety of a tornado event. The automated method utilizes 0.2- and 3.6-km AGL azimuthal shear from the Multi-Radar Multi-Sensor system to link together a series of strong azimuthal shear clusters and create a proposed damage path polygon. The quality of each method's diagnosis is evaluated using traditional verification metrics derived from an object-based geospatial verification technique. These metrics indicate that the preliminary damage paths from the manual method better detect damaged areas with less false area denoted, compared to preliminary damage paths from the automated method. However, the preliminary damage paths from all methods fall short of detecting the entirety of damaged areas, and they also denote large areas in the damage path vicinity that were not affected. Potential avenues for future research and applications are described. C1 [Karstens, Christopher D.; Smith, Travis M.] Univ Oklahoma, Cooperat Inst Mesoscale Meteorol Studies, Norman, OK 73019 USA.

TI Re-entrance of Poly(N,N-diethylacrylamide) in D2O/d-Ethanol Mixture at 27 degrees C SO MACROMOLECULES LA English DT Article ID REENTRANT PHASE-TRANSITION; ANGLE NEUTRON-SCATTERING; TO-COIL TRANSITION; WATER/METHANOL MIXTURES; AQUEOUS-SOLUTIONS; N-ISOPROPYLACRYLAMIDE; MOLECULAR-DYNAMICS; MIXED-SOLVENTS; POLY(N-ISOPROPYLACRYLAMIDE); CONONSOLVENCY AB The re-entrance of poly(N,N-diethylacrylamide) (PDEA) in D2O/d-ethanol mixtures (i.e., the coil-to-spherical aggregates-to-coil transition) has been observed at 27 degrees C by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). PDEA has a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) phase diagram in the D2O-rich region and is soluble in the D2O-poor region for all of the observed temperature ranges. Its spinodal temperature decreases first from 33.5 degrees C in pure D2O to 26.7 degrees C in 80% D2O/20% d-ethanol and then increases to 283.1 degrees C in 50% D2O/50% d-ethanol. With the further decrease of D2O content, PDEA dissolves well, and its phase boundary can no longer be observed by SANS. Therefore, at 27 degrees C, PDEA dissolves as random coils when the D2O content is higher than 90% and then collapses and aggregates to form the globule phase in 20% D2O/80% d-ethanol; finally, it reswells and behaves as random coils again with excluded volume in the D2O-poor region. The ternary random phase approximation model (RPA) is used to analyze the SANS profiles, and three Flory-Huggins interaction parameters (chi(PDEA-d-ethanol), chi(PDEA-D2O), and chi(d-ethanol-D2O)) are obtained. When a small amount of d-ethanol is added to the system, it has a strong interaction with D2O, so it directly gets distributed into the water structure and makes a negative contribution to the dissolution of PDEA (chi(d-ethanol-D2O) much smaller than chi(PDEA-d-ethanol) and chi(PDEA-D2O)). With the addition of more d-ethanol, its interaction with water becomes weaker, but still stronger than those between PDEA-D2O and PDEA-d-ethanol. Neither d-ethanol nor D2O wants to help the dissolution of PDEA in the first place, until the structure of mixed solvents tends to be pure d-ethanol in the D2O-poor region.

TI A Molecular Model for Lithium's Bioactive Form SO BIOPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article ID BIPOLAR DISORDER; ATP BINDING; RECEPTORS; COMPETITION; MAGNESIUM; MG2+; ACTIVATION; COMPLEXES; NEURONS; LI+ AB Lithium carbonate, a drug for the treatment of bipolar disorder, provides mood stability to mitigate recurrent episodes of mania and/or depression. Despite its long-term and widespread use, the mechanism by which lithium acts to elicit these psychological changes has remained unknown. Using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods, in this study we characterized the association of lithium with adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and identified a bimetallic (Mg.Li) ATP complex. Lithium's affinity to form this complex was found to be relatively high (K-d similar to 1.6 mM) compared with other monovalent cations and relevant, considering lithium dosing and physiological concentrations of Mg2+ and ATP. The ATP.Mg.Li complex reveals, for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, that lithium can associate with magnesium-bound phosphate sites and then act to modulate purine receptor activity in neuronal cells, suggesting a molecular mode for in vivo lithium action.

Here, we present neutron scattering investigations on nanocomposites with dynamically asymmetric interphases formed by a high-glass transition temperature polymer, poly(methyl methacrylate), adsorbed on nanoparticles and a low-glass transition temperature miscible matrix, poly(ethylene oxide). By taking advantage of selective isotope labeling of the chains, we studied the role of interfacial polymer on segmental and collective dynamics of the matrix chains from subnanoseconds to 100 nanoseconds. Our results show that the Rouse relaxation remains unchanged in a weakly attractive composite system while the dynamics significantly slows down in a strongly attractive composite. More importantly, the chains disentangle with a remarkable increase of the reptation tube size when the bound polymer is vitreous. The glassy and rubbery states of the bound polymer as temperature changes underpin the macroscopic stiffening of nanocomposites.

Bunday, Benjamin Vartanian, Victor TI Feasibility study on 3-D shape analysis of high-aspect-ratio features using through-focus scanning optical microscopy SO OPTICS EXPRESS LA English DT Article ID METROLOGY; NODE AB In-line metrologies currently used in the semiconductor industry are being challenged by the aggressive pace of device scaling and the adoption of novel device architectures. Metrology and process control of three-dimensional (3-D) high-aspect-ratio (HAR) features are becoming increasingly important and also challenging. In this paper we present a feasibility study of through-focus scanning optical microscopy (TSOM) for 3-D shape analysis of HAR features. TSOM makes use of 3-D optical data collected using a conventional optical microscope for 3-D shape analysis. Simulation results of trenches and holes down to the 11 nm node are presented. The ability of TSOM to analyze an array of HAR features or a single isolated HAR feature is also presented. This allows for the use of targets with area over 100 times smaller than that of conventional gratings, saving valuable real estate on the wafers. Indications are that the sensitivity of TSOM may match or exceed the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) measurement requirements for the next several years. Both simulations and preliminary experimental results are presented. The simplicity, lowcost, high throughput, and nanometer scale 3-D shape sensitivity of TSOM make it an attractive inspection and process monitoring solution for nanomanufacturing.

TI Pulsed laser interferometry with sub-picometer resolution using quadrature detection SO OPTICS EXPRESS LA English DT Article AB Femtosecond pulsed laser interferometry has important applications in measuring picometer-level displacements on sub-nanosecond time scales. In this paper, we experimentally examine its achievable displacement resolution, as well as the relationship between the laser's optical spectrum and the interferometer's effective wavelength. The resulting broadband displacement noise and noise floor of the pulsed laser Michelson interferometer are equivalent to that achieved with a stabilized continuous wave HeNe laser, where values of 1.01 nm RMS and 27.75 fm/root Hz have been demonstrated. It is also shown that a single effective wavelength can accurately describe the fringes of the pulsed laser interferometer but the effective wavelength value can only be determined from the optical spectrum under certain conditions. These results will be used for time-resolved displacement metrology with picosecond temporal resolution in the future.

TI Seasonal and developmental differences in blubber stores of beluga whales in Bristol Bay, Alaska using high-resolution ultrasound SO JOURNAL OF MAMMALOGY LA English DT Article DE beluga whale; blubber stores; body composition; Delphinapterus leucas; ultrasound ID PORPOISES PHOCOENA-PHOCOENA; SEALS PHOCA-VITULINA; DELPHINAPTERUS-LEUCAS; HARBOR SEALS; TOPOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION; EUMETOPIAS-JUBATUS; BODY-COMPOSITION; WHITE WHALES; THICKNESS; ATLANTIC AB Diving mammals use blubber for a variety of structural and physiological functions, including buoyancy, streamlining, thermoregulation, and energy storage. Estimating blubber stores provides proxies for body condition, nutritional status, and health. Blubber stores may vary topographically within individuals, across seasons, and with age, sex, and reproductive status; therefore, a single full-depth blubber biopsy does not provide an accurate measure of blubber depth, and additional biopsies are limited because they result in open wounds. We examined high-resolution ultrasound as a noninvasive method for assessing blubber stores by sampling blubber depth at 11 locations on beluga whales in Alaska. Blubber mass was estimated as a proportion of body mass (40% from the literature) and compared to a function of volume calculated using ultrasound blubber depth measurements in a truncated cone. Blubber volume was converted to total and mass-specific blubber mass estimates based on the density of beluga blubber. There was no significant difference in mean total blubber mass between the 2 estimates (R-2 = 0.88); however, body mass alone predicted only 68% of the variation in mass-specific blubber stores in juveniles, 7% for adults in the fall, and 33% for adults in the spring. Mass-specific blubber stores calculated from ultrasound measurements were highly variable. Adults had significantly greater blubber stores in the fall (0.48 +/- 0.02 kg/kg(MB)) than in the spring (0.33 +/- 0.02 kg/kg(MB)). There was no seasonal effect in juveniles. High-resolution ultrasound is a more powerful, noninvasive method for assessing blubber stores in wild belugas, allowing for precise measurements at multiple locations.

Under certain drive configurations, we find that the resonator approaches a thermal state at the temperature of the surrounding substrate with a chemical potential given by a harmonic of the drive frequency. Away from these thermal regions we find regions of gain and loss, where the system can lase, or regions where the DQD acts as a single-photon source. These effects are observable in current devices and have broad utility for quantum optics with microwave photons. C1 [Gullans, M. J.; Taylor, J.

TI Detection of atomic force microscopy cantilever displacement with a transmitted electron beam SO APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS LA English DT Article ID RESOLUTION AB The response time of an atomic force microscopy (AFM) cantilever can be decreased by reducing cantilever size; however, the fastest AFM cantilevers are currently nearing the smallest size that can be detected with the conventional optical lever approach. Here, we demonstrate an electron beam detection scheme for measuring AFM cantilever oscillations. The oscillating AFM tip is positioned perpendicular to and in the path of a stationary focused nanometer sized electron beam. As the tip oscillates, the thickness of the material under the electron beam changes, causing a fluctuation in the number of scattered transmitted electrons that are detected. We demonstrate detection of sub-nanometer vibration amplitudes with an electron beam, providing a pathway for dynamic AFM with cantilevers that are orders of magnitude smaller and faster than the current state of the art.

TI Charge Carrier Dynamics and Mobility Determined by Time-Resolved Terahertz Spectroscopy on Films of Nano-to-Micrometer-Sized Colloidal Tin(II) Monosulfide SO Journal of Physical Chemistry C LA English DT Article ID METAL-ORGANIC FRAMEWORK; SOLAR-CELLS; PHOTOEXCITED CARRIERS; ELECTRON-TRANSFER; THIN-FILM; SNS; DIFFUSION; PHOTOCONDUCTIVITY; SEMICONDUCTORS; NANOWIRES AB Tin(II) monosulfide (SnS) is a semiconductor material with an intermediate band gap, high absorption coefficient in the visible range, and earth abundant, nontoxic constituent elements. For these reasons, SnS has generated much interest for incorporation into optoelectronic devices, but little is known concerning the charge carrier dynamics, especially as measured by optical techniques. Here, as opposed to prior studies of vapor deposited films, phase-pure colloidal SnS was synthesized by solution chemistry in three size regimes, ranging from nanometer- to micrometer-scale (SnS small nanoparticles, SnS medium 2D nanosheets, and SnS large 2D mu m-sheets), and evaluated by time resolved terahertz spectroscopy (TRTS); an optical, noncontact probe of the photoconductivity. Dropcast films of the SnS colloids were studied by TRTS and compared to both thermally annealed films and dispersed suspensions of the same colloids. TRTS results revealed that the micrometer-scale SnS crystals and all of the annealed films undergo decay mechanisms during the first 200 ps following photoexcitation at 800 nm assigned to hot carrier cooling and carrier trapping. The charge carrier mobility of both the dropcast and annealed samples depends strongly on the size of the constituent colloids. The mobility of the SnS colloidal films, following the completion of the initial decays, ranged from 0.14 cm(2)/V.s for the smallest SnS crystals to 20.3 cm(2)/V.s for the largest.

TI Rapid Growth of Crystalline Mn5O8 by Self-Limited Multilayer Deposition using Mn(EtCp)(2) and O-3 SO ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES LA English DT Article DE atomic layer deposition; thin film; diffusion-controlled growth; chemical vapor deposition; metastable materials ID ATOMIC LAYER DEPOSITION; OXIDE THIN-FILMS; MANGANESE OXIDE; CHARGE STORAGE; PHASE-SEPARATION; MNO2; OXIDATION; OZONE; REDUCTION; NANOPARTICLES AB This work investigates the use of ozone as a post-treatment of ALD-grown MnO and as a coreactant with bis(ethylcyclopentadienyemanganese (Mn(EtCp)(2)) in ALD-like film growth. In situ quartz crystal microbalance measurements are used to monitor the mass changes during growth, which are coupled with ex situ materials characterization following deposition to evaluate the resulting film composition and structure. We determined that during O-3 post-treatment of ALD-grown MnO, O-3 oxidizes the near-surface region corresponding to a conversion of 22 angstrom of the MnO film to MnO2. Following oxidation by O-3, exposure of Mn(EtCp)(2) results in mass gains of over 300 ng/cm(2), which exceeds the expected mass gain for reaction of the Mn(EtCp)(2) precursor with surface hydroxyls by over four times. We attribute this high mass gain to adsorbed Mn(EtCp)(2) shedding its EtCp ligands at the surface and releasing Mn(II) ions which subsequently diffuse into the bulk film and partially reduce the oxidized film back to MnO. These Mn(EtCp)(2) and O-3 reactions are combined in sequential steps with (a) Mn(EtCp)(2) reacting at the surface of an O-rich layer, shedding its two EtCp ligands and freeing Mn(II) to diffuse into the film followed by (b) O-3 oxidizing the film surface and withdrawing Mn from the subsurface to create an O-rich layer. This deposition process results in self-limiting multilayer deposition of crystalline Mn5O8 films with a density of 4.7 g/cm(3) and an anomalously high growth rate of 5.7 angstrom/cycle. Mn5O8 is a metastable phase of manganese oxide which possesses an intermediate composition between the alternating MnO and MnO2 compositions of the near-surface during the Mn(EtCp)(2) and O-3 exposures.

This is an idealized model for the dead zones that may be present at some radii in protoplanetary and dwarf novae disks. We vary the relative thickness of the dead and active zones to quantify how forced fluid motions in the dead zone change. We find that the residual Reynolds stress near the mid-plane decreases with increasing dead zone thickness, becoming negligible in cases where the active to dead mass ratio is less than a few percent. This implies that purely Ohmic dead zones would be vulnerable to episodic accretion outbursts via the mechanism of Martin & Lubow. We show that even thick dead zones support a large amount of kinetic energy, but this energy is largely in fluid motions that are inefficient at angular momentum transport. Confirming results from Oishi & Mac Low, the perturbed velocity field in the dead zone is dominated by an oscillatory, vertically extended circulation pattern with a low frequency compared to the orbital frequency. This disturbance has the properties predicted for the lowest order r mode in a hydrodynamic disk. We suggest that in a global disk similar excitations would lead to propagating waves, whose properties would vary with the thickness of the dead zone and the nature of the perturbations (isothermal or adiabatic). Flows with similar amplitudes would buckle settled particle layers and could reduce the efficiency of pebble accretion.

Recent in vitro studies have demonstrated that a force application with magnetic tweezers can also affect cell fate, suggesting a therapeutic potential for magnetically modulated mechanical stimulation. The magnetic properties of nanoparticles that induce physical responses and the subtle responses that result from mechanically induced membrane damage and/or intracellular signaling are evaluated. Magnetic particles with various physical, geometric, and magnetic properties and specific functionalization can now be used to apply mechanical force to specific regions of cells, which permit the modulation of cellular behavior through the use of spatially and time controlled magnetic fields. On one hand, mechanochemical stimulation has been used to direct the outgrowth on neuronal growth cones, indicating a therapeutic potential for neural repair. On the other hand, it has been used to kill cancer cells that preferentially express specific receptors. Advances made in the synthesis and characterization of magnetic nanomaterials and a better understanding of cellular mechanotransduction mechanisms may support the translation of mechanochemical stimulation into the clinic as an emerging therapeutic approach.

Low-pressure H-2 adsorption and neutron powder diffraction experiments reveal moderately strong Cr-H-2 interactions, in line with results from previously reported M-BTT frameworks. Notably, gas adsorption measurements also reveal excellent (2)/N-2 selectivity with substantial O-2 reversibility at room temperature, based on selective electron transfer to form Cr-III superoxide moieties. Infrared spectroscopy and powder neutron diffraction experiments were used to confirm this mechanism of selective O-2 binding.

To this purpose, we fabricated a 250 nm wide and 250 nm long WSi nanowire and measured its response to impinging photons with wavelengths ranging from lambda = 900 nm to lambda = 1650 nm. Tomographic measurements show that the detector response depends on the total excitation energy only. Moreover, for total absorbed energies >0.8 eV the current-energy relation is linear, similar to what was observed in NbN nanowires, whereas the current-energy relation deviates from linear behavior for total energies below 0.8 eV.

At temperatures ranging from 100 K to 200 K, we find that all modes redshift linearly with temperature in agreement with the Gruneisen model. However, below 100 K, we observe nonlinear temperature-dependent frequency shifts in some modes. We demonstrate that this anharmonic behavior is consistent with the decay of an optical phonon into multiple acoustic phonons. Furthermore, the highest frequency Raman modes show large changes in intensity and linewidth near T approximate to 250 K that correlate well with the T-d --> 1T' structural phase transition. These results suggest that phonon-phonon interactions can dominate anharmonic contributions at low temperatures in bulk T-d-MoTe2, an experimental regime that is currently receiving attention in efforts to understand Weyl semimetals.

TI Interfacial magnetic anisotropy from a 3-dimensional Rashba substrate SO APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS LA English DT Article ID PERPENDICULAR-ANISOTROPY; ATOMIC LAYERS; PEROVSKITES AB We study the magnetic anisotropy which arises at the interface between a thin film ferromagnet and a 3-d Rashba material. We use a tight-binding model to describe the bilayer, and the 3-d Rashba material characterized by the spin-orbit strength alpha and the direction of broken bulk inversion symmetry (n) over cap. We find an in-plane uniaxial anisotropy in the (z) over cap x (n) over cap direction, where (z) over cap is the interface normal. For realistic values of alpha, the uniaxial anisotropy is of a similar order of magnitude as the bulk magnetocrystalline anisotropy. Evaluating the uniaxial anisotropy for a simplified model in 1-d shows that for small band filling, the in-plane easy axis anisotropy scales as alpha(4) and results from a twisted exchange interaction between the spins in the 3-d Rashba material and the ferromagnet. For a ferroelectric 3-d Rashba material, (n) over cap can be controlled with an electric field, and we propose that the interfacial magnetic anisotropy could provide a mechanism for electrical control of the magnetic orientation.

For the first time, prominent semiannual variability (SAV; with the maximum power at similar to 187days) of subthermocline meridional flow along the Mindanao coast is revealed. A significant correlation between meridional flow and salinity is found at intermediate depths. This provides direct evidence for the alternating transports of South Pacific and North Pacific Intermediate Waters by northward and southward undercurrents, respectively. Further analysis with an eddy-resolving ocean general circulation model demonstrates that the SAV is generated locally near the western boundary, manifesting as large-scale subthermocline recirculation and leading to alternating northward and southward flows near the Mindanao coast, which plays an efficient role in the intermediate water exchange of the northwest tropical Pacific. Mechanisms underlying the observed SAV are discussed.

TI Impacts of the 2015-2016 El Nino on the California Current System: Early assessment and comparison to past events SO GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS LA English DT Article DE El Nino; ENSO; glider; ROMS; the Blob; 1997-1998 ID SURFACE CHLOROPHYLL; UNDERWATER GLIDERS; NORTHEAST PACIFIC; REANALYSIS; EVOLUTION; COAST; CONFIGURATION; TEMPERATURE; ANOMALIES; AMERICA AB The 2015-2016 El Nino is by some measures one of the strongest on record, comparable to the 1982-1983 and 1997-1998 events that triggered widespread ecosystem change in the northeast Pacific. Here we describe impacts of the 2015-2016 El Nino on the California Current System (CCS) and place them in historical context using a regional ocean model and underwater glider observations. Impacts on the physical state of the CCS are weaker than expected based on tropical sea surface temperature anomalies; temperature and density fields reflect persistence of multiyear anomalies more than El Nino. While we anticipate El Nino-related impacts on spring/summer 2016 productivity to be similarly weak, their combination with preexisting anomalous conditions likely means continued low phytoplankton biomass. This study highlights the need for regional metrics of El Nino's effects and demonstrates the potential to assess these effects before the upwelling season, when altered ecosystem functioning is most apparent.

To derive the convective mass flux, candidate profiles of in-cloud vertical velocity are first constructed with a simple plume model under the constraint of ambient sounding and then narrowed down to the solution that matches satellite-derived cloud top buoyancy. Meanwhile, the large-scale total mass flux is provided separately from satellite soundings by a method developed previously. All satellite snapshots are sorted into a composite time series that delineates the evolution of a vigorous and organized convective system. Principal findings are the following. First, convective mass flux is modulated primarily by convective cloud cover, with the intensity of individual convection being less variable over time. Second, convective mass flux dominates the total mass flux only during the early hours of the convective evolution; as convective system matures, a residual mass flux builds up in the mass flux balance that is reminiscent of stratiform dynamics. The method developed in this study is expected to be of unique utility for future observational diagnosis of tropical convective dynamics and for evaluation of global climate model cumulus parameterizations in a global sense.

TI Summertime surface O-3 behavior and deposition to tundra in the Alaskan Arctic SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-ATMOSPHERES LA English DT Article DE ozone deposition; Arctic; Toolik Field Station ID HIGH NORTHERN LATITUDES; TROPOSPHERIC OZONE; NITROGEN-OXIDES; DRY DEPOSITION; BOUNDARY-LAYER; WATER-VAPOR; SOUTH-POLE; PHOTOCHEMISTRY; TRENDS; FLUXES AB Atmospheric turbulence quantities, boundary layer ozone (O-3) levels, and O-3 deposition to the tundra surface were investigated at Toolik Lake, AK, during the 2011 summer season. Beginning immediately after snowmelt, a diurnal cycle of O-3 in the atmospheric surface layer developed with daytime O-3 maxima, and minima during low-light hours, resulting in a mean amplitude of 13ppbv. This diurnal O-3 cycle is far larger than observed at other high Arctic locations during the snow-free season. During the snow-free months of June, July, and August, O-3 deposition velocities were approximate to 3 to 5 times faster than during May, when snow covered the ground most of the month. The overall mean O-3 deposition velocity between June and August was 0.10cms(-1). The month of June had the highest diurnal variation, with a median O-3 deposition velocity of 0.2cms(-1) during the daytime and 0.08cms(-1) during low-light conditions. These values are slightly lower than previously reported summertime deposition velocities in northern latitudes over tundra or fen. O-3 loss during low-light periods was attributed to a combination of surface deposition to the tundra and stable boundary layer conditions. We also hypothesize that emissions of reactive biogenic volatile organic compounds into the shallow boundary layer may contribute to nighttime O-3 loss.

TI Large-eddy simulation of biogenic VOC chemistry during the DISCOVER-AQ 2011 campaign SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-ATMOSPHERES LA English DT Article DE isoprene; segregation; turbulence; OH reactivity ID VOLATILE ORGANIC-COMPOUNDS; CONVECTIVE BOUNDARY-LAYER; MEXICO-CITY; ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY; PHOTOOXIDATION PRODUCTS; VERTICAL-DISTRIBUTION; ISOPRENE OXIDATION; CHEMICAL-REACTIONS; SHALLOW CUMULUS; REGIONAL MODEL AB Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) are oxidized quickly in the atmosphere to form oxygenated VOC (OVOC) and play crucial roles in the formation of ozone and secondary organic aerosols. We use the National Center for Atmospheric Research's large-eddy simulation model and Deriving Information on Surface Conditions from Column and Vertically Resolved Observations Relevant to Air Quality 2011 flight data to understand the role of boundary layer turbulence on the atmospheric chemistry of key BVOC species and their oxidation products. We simulate three distinct convective environments during the campaign, representing fair weather conditions (case 1: 1 July), a convective event dominated by southwesterly flow (case 2: 11 July), and a polluted event with high temperature and convection (case 3: 29 July). Isoprene segregation is greatest in the lower boundary layer under warm and convective conditions, reaching up to a 10% reduction in the isoprene-OH reaction rate. Under warm and convective conditions, the BVOC lifetimes lengthen due to increased isoprene emission, elevated initial chemical concentrations, and OH competition. Although turbulence-driven segregation has less influence on the OVOC species, convection mixes more OVOC into the upper atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) and increases the total OH reactivity. Production and loss rates of ozone above 2km in all the three cases indicate in situ ozone formation in addition to vertical convective transport of ozone from the surface and aloft, consistent with the increased contribution of OH reactivity from OVOC. Together, these results show that total OH reactivity in the ABL increases under warmer and stronger convective conditions due to enhanced isoprene emission and the OVOC contribution to ozone formation.

In this work, we use high-throughput first-principles calculations to screen transition metal oxides, nitrides, and sulfides for candidate materials with high power factors and low thermal conductivity. We find a variety of promising materials, and we investigate these materials in detail in order to understand the mechanisms that cause them to have high power factors. These materials all combine a high density of states near the Fermi level with dispersive bands, reducing the trade-off between the Seebeck coefficient and the electrical conductivity, but they do so for several different reasons. In addition, our calculations indicate that many of our candidate materials have low thermal conductivity. C1 [Garrity, Kevin F.] NIST, Mat Measurement Lab, Gaithersburg, MD 20899 USA.

In the present climate simulation, the atmosphere-ocean coupling in the AOGCM improves biases in the AGCM such as the poleward shift of the maximum of intense TC distribution in the Northern Hemisphere and too many intense TCs in the Southern Hemisphere. Particularly, subsurface cold water plays a key role to reduce these AGCM biases of intense TC distribution. Besides, the future change of intense TC distribution is significantly different between AOGCM and AGCM despite the same monthly SST. In the north Atlantic, subsurface warming causes larger increase in frequency of intense TCs in AOGCM than that in AGCM. Such subsurface warming in AOGCM also acts to alter large decrease of intense TC in AGCM to no significant change in AOGCM over the southwestern Indian Ocean. These results suggest that atmosphere-ocean coupling characterized by subsurface oceanic structure is responsible for more realistic intense TC distribution in the current climate simulation and gives significant impacts on its future projection.

TI Nondestructive evaluation of a new hydrolytically degradable and photo-clickable PEG hydrogel for cartilage tissue engineering SO ACTA BIOMATERIALIA LA English DT Article DE Cartilage tissue engineering; Hydrogel; Poly(ethylene glycol); Chondrocyte; Ultrasound ID POLY(ETHYLENE GLYCOL); ARTICULAR-CARTILAGE; SULFATED GLYCOSAMINOGLYCANS; DIMETHYLMETHYLENE BLUE; MATRIX EVOLUTION; SERUM-ALBUMIN; ULTRASOUND; ASSAY; MACROMERS; SAMPLES AB Photopolymerizable and hydrolytically labile poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogels formed from photo-clickable reactions were investigated as cell delivery platforms for cartilage tissue engineering (TE). PEG hydrogels were formed from thiol-norbornene PEG macromers whereby the crosslinks contained caprolactone segments with hydrolytically labile ester linkages. Juvenile bovine chondrocytes encapsulated in the hydrogels were cultured for up to four weeks and assessed biochemically and histologically, using standard destructive assays, and for mechanical and ultrasound properties, as nondestructive assays. Bulk degradation of acellular hydrogels was confirmed by a decrease in compressive modulus and an increase in mass swelling ratio over time. Chondrocytes deposited increasing amounts of sulfated glycosaminoglycans and collagens in the hydrogels with time. Spatially, collagen type II and aggrecan were present in the neotissue with formation of a territorial matrix beginning at day 21. Nondestructive measurements revealed an 8-fold increase in compressive modulus from days 7 to 28, which correlated with total collagen content. Ultrasound measurements revealed changes in the constructs over time, which differed from the mechanical properties, and appeared to correlate with ECM structure and organization shown by immunohistochemical analysis. Overall, non-destructive and destructive measurements show that this new hydrolytically degradable PEG hydrogel is promising for cartilage TE. Statement of Significance Designing synthetic hydrogels whose degradation matches tissue growth is critical to maintaining mechanical integrity as the hydrogel degrades and new tissue forms, but is challenging due to the nature of the hydrogel crosslinks that inhibit diffusion of tissue matrix molecules. This study details a promising, new, photo-clickable and synthetic hydrogel whose degradation supports cartilaginous tissue matrix growth leading to the formation of a territorial matrix, concomitant with an increase in mechanical properties. Nondestructive assays based on mechanical and ultrasonic properties were also investigated using a novel instrument and found to correlate with matrix deposition and evolution. In sum, this study presents a new hydrogel platform combined with nondestructive assessments, which together have potential for in vitro cartilage tissue engineering. (C) 2016 Acta Materialia Inc.

With this new method, reproducibility of the measurements of 2-ethyl-1-hexanol and cyclohexanone were improved compared to previous work (Hoffman et al., 2009; Arthur and Pawliszyn, 1990) through the use of stable-isotope-labeled internal standards. Exposing the SPME fiber to the ESIS after sampling the target analyte proved to be advantageous, while still correcting for fiber variability and detector drift. For the analysis of high volatility compounds, incorporation of the ESIS using the SPME fiber in the retracted position minimized the subsequent competitive loss of the target analyte, allowing for much longer sampling times.

TI POLARIS: A 30-meter probabilistic soil series map of the contiguous United States SO GEODERMA LA English DT Article DE Digital soil mapping; Environmental modeling; High performance computing ID SEMIAUTOMATED DISAGGREGATION; CLASSIFICATION TREES; KNOWLEDGE AB A new complete map of soil series probabilities has been produced for the contiguous United States at a 30 m spatial resolution. This innovative database, named POLARIS, is constructed using available high-resolution geospatial environmental data and a state-of-the-art machine learning algorithm (DSMART-HPC) to remap the Soil Survey Geographic (SSURGO) database. This 9 billion grid cell database is possible using available high performance computing resources. POLARIS provides a spatially continuous, internally consistent, quantitative prediction of soil series. It offers potential solutions to the primary weaknesses in SSURGO: 1) unmapped areas are gap-filled using survey data from the surrounding regions, 2) the artificial discontinuities at political boundaries are removed, and 3) the use of high resolution environmental covariate data leads to a spatial disaggregation of the coarse polygons. The geospatial environmental covariates that have the largest role in assembling POLARIS over the contiguous United States (CONUS) are fine-scale (30 m) elevation data and coarse-scale (similar to 2 km) estimates of the geographic distribution of uranium, thorium, and potassium. A preliminary validation of POLARIS using the NRCS National Soil Information System (NASIS) database shows variable performance over CONUS. In general, the best performance is obtained at grid cells where DSMART-HPC is most able to reduce the chance of misclassification. The important role of environmental covariates in limiting prediction uncertainty suggests including additional covariates is pivotal to improving POLARIS' accuracy. This database has the potential to improve the modeling of biogeochemical, water, and energy cycles in environmental models; enhance availability of data for precision agriculture; and assist hydrologic monitoring and forecasting to ensure food and water security.

Uniaxial compression loading is carried out under a wide range of temperature (77 K-423 K) and strain rate (10(-4) s(-1) -3000 s(-1)) along pressing direction (PD), transverse direction (TD), and normal direction (ND). The s-shape strain hardening curve which is the main characteristic of twin-dominated deformation shows a strong dependency on testing temperature and strain rate in the ECAPed material so that during loading at the highest temperature (423 K) and the lowest strain rate (10(-4) s(-1)), s-shape hardening is no longer present. However, measured texture under the mentioned loading condition reveals crystal reorientation due to twinning which implies that the absence of concaved-up stress-strain curve is not necessarily indicative of suppression of twinning. On the other hand, the measured texture during high temperature dynamic loading suggests saturation of twinning at smaller strains. Schmid factor maps, in agreement with Visco-Plastic Self Consistent (VPSC) models, suggest the higher activity of twinning and basal slip in plastic yielding of the extruded and ECAPed AZ31, respectively.

Xu, Li-Hong TI Torsionally mediated spin-rotation hyperfine splittings at moderate to high J values in methanol SO JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID INTERNAL ROTOR; MOLECULES; CH3OH AB This paper presents an explanation based on torsionally mediated proton-spin-overall-rotation interaction for the observation of doublet hyperfine splittings in some Lamb-dip sub-millimeter-wave transitions between ground-state torsion-rotation states of E symmetry in methanol. These unexpected doublet splittings, some as large as 70 kHz, were observed for rotational quantum numbers in the range of J = 13 to 34, and K = -2 to +3. Because they increase nearly linearly with J for a given branch, we confined our search for an explanation to hyperfine operators containing one nuclear-spin angular momentum factor I and one overall-rotation angular momentum factor J ( i. e., to spin-rotation operators) and ignored both spin-spin and spin-torsion operators, since they contain no rotational angular momentum operator. Furthermore, since traditional spin-rotation operators did not seem capable of explaining the observed splittings, we constructed totally symmetric " torsionally mediated spin-rotation operators" by multiplying the E-species spin-rotation operator by an E-species torsional-coordinate factor of the form e(+/- ni alpha). The resulting operator is capable of connecting the two components of a degenerate torsion-rotation E state. This has the effect of turning the hyperfine splitting pattern upside down for some nuclear-spin states, which leads to bottom-to-top and top-to-bottom hyperfine selection rules for some transitions, and thus to an explanation for the unexpectedly large observed hyperfine splittings. The constructed operator cannot contribute to hyperfine splittings in the A-species manifold because its matrix elements within the set of torsion-rotation A(1) and A(2) states are all zero. The theory developed here fits the observed large doublet splittings to a root-mean-square residual of less than 1 kHz and predicts unresolvable splittings for a number of transitions in which no doublet splitting was detected.

The reduction commences with the generation of oxygen vacancies that order onto every 10th (30 (3) over bar0) plane. This vacancy ordering is followed by an allotropic transformation of alpha-Fe2O3 -> gamma-Fe2O3 along with the formation of Fe3O4 nanopartides on the surface of the gamma-Fe2O3 nanowire by a topotactic transformation process, which shows 3D correspondence between the structures of the product and its host. These observations demonstrate that the partial reduction of alpha-Fe2O3 nanowires results in the formation of a unique hierarchical structure of hybrid oxides consisting of the parent oxide phase, gamma-Fe2O3, as the one-dimensional wire and the Fe3O4 in the form of nanoparticles decorated on the parent oxide skeleton. We show that the proposed mechanism is consistent with previously published and our density functional theory results on the thermodynamics of surface termination and oxygen vacancy formation in alpha-Fe2O3. Compared to previous reports of alpha-Fe2O3 directly transformed to Fe3O4, our work provides a more in-depth understanding with substeps of reduction, i.e, the whole reduction process follows: alpha-Fe2O3 -> alpha-Fe2O3 superlattice -> gamma-Fe2O3 + Fe3O4 -> Fe3O4.

TI Quasi-Elastic Neutron Scattering Studies of Hydrogen Dynamics for Nanoconfined NaAIH(4) SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY C LA English DT Article ID ROTATIONAL-DYNAMICS; MOLECULAR-HYDROGEN; AMMONIA BORANE; DIFFUSION; SODIUM; CARBON; H-2; THERMODYNAMICS; REORIENTATIONS; SPECTROMETER AB The hydrogen dynamics of nanoconfined sodium Alanate (NaAlH4) has been studied using quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS). Results indicate thermodynamic destabilization is responsible for reduced desorption temperatures of NaAlH4 upon confinement within the nanopores of a metal organic framework (MOP). The quasi-elastic broadening in the nano-NaAlH4 indicates that there are two dynamic states of hydrogen, which can be tracked by fitting the QENS signal to Lorentzian functions. The fastest hydrogen dynamics show some limited amount and range of long-range diffusion (i.e., not spatially confined motion) as indicated by a weakly varying Q-dependent fwhm on the broad Lorentzian quasi-elastic broadening data. These data trend toward zero at Q = 0 A(-1). Slower hydrogen dynamics, described by a narrow Lorentzian function, are present in the nanoconfined sample and can be attributed to reorientation and localized motion of H around AlHx tetrahedra. Both the as-purchased NaAlH4 (hereafter called "bulk" or "micro" NaAlH4) and the nanoconfined NaAlH4 data were fitted to reorientation models which yielded corresponding percent mobile hydrogen and jump lengths. The jump lengths calculated from the nano-NaAlH4 were approximate to 2.5 angstrom and in conformity with those jump lengths determined for bulk NaAlH4 of approximate to 2.3 angstrom. As much as 18% of the hydrogen atoms were estimated to be mobile in the nano-NaAlH4 sample even at relatively low temperatures of 350 K. In contrast, bulk NaAlH4 shows less than 7% mobile H atoms even at higher temperatures of approximate to 450 K. The hydrogen motion in the nanoconfined samples are fitted to a "high temperature (HT)" reorientation model in which a motion occurs by "tumbling" reorientation of AlHx tetrahedra. The model assumes 3 of the 4 H atoms in the AlH4 tetrahedra to be continuously exchanging their coplanar positions plus taking turns to exchange position with the fourth axial H atom. The microscale sample was fitted to a convoluted 2-site/3-site model, which can be viewed as three-dimensional jumps requiring the reorientation of the AlH4 tetrahedra. The activation energy is 3.1 meV (at 125-320 K) and the attempt frequency (or energy) is 4.7 meV for this motion.

TI Extending Vulnerability Assessment to Include Life Stages Considerations SO PLOS ONE LA English DT Article ID QUALITATIVE RISK-ASSESSMENT; LOGGERHEAD SEA-TURTLES; OCEAN ACIDIFICATION; CALIFORNIA CURRENT; FISHERIES MANAGEMENT; POPULATION BIOLOGY; MARINE ECOSYSTEMS; CLIMATE-CHANGE; GLOBAL CHANGE; IMPACTS AB Species are experiencing a suite of novel stressors from anthropogenic activities that have impacts at multiple scales. Vulnerability assessment is one tool to evaluate the likely impacts that these stressors pose to species so that high-vulnerability cases can be identified and prioritized for monitoring, protection, or mitigation. Commonly used semi-quantitative methods lack a framework to explicitly account for differences in exposure to stressors and organism responses across life stages. Here we propose a modification to commonly used spatial vulnerability assessment methods that includes such an approach, using ocean acidification in the California Current as an illustrative case study. Life stage considerations were included by assessing vulnerability of each life stage to ocean acidification and were used to estimate population vulnerability in two ways. We set population vulnerability equal to: (1) the maximum stage vulnerability and (2) a weighted mean across all stages, with weights calculated using Lefkovitch matrix models. Vulnerability was found to vary across life stages for the six species explored in this case study: two krill-Euphausia pacifica and Thysanoessa spinifera, pteropod-Limacina helicina, pink shrimp-Pandalus jordani, Dungeness crab-Metacarcinus magister and Pacific hake-Merluccius productus. The maximum vulnerability estimates ranged from larval to subadult and adult stages with no consistent stage having maximum vulnerability across species. Similarly, integrated vulnerability metrics varied greatly across species. A comparison showed that some species had vulnerabilities that were similar between the two metrics, while other species' vulnerabilities varied substantially between the two metrics. These differences primarily resulted from cases where the most vulnerable stage had a low relative weight. We compare these methods and explore circumstances where each method may be appropriate.

TI Predator-driven brain size evolution in natural populations of Trinidadian killifish (Rivulus hartii) SO PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY B-BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES LA English DT Article DE life-history evolution; predation; brain size; boldness; killifish ID LIFE-HISTORY EVOLUTION; GUPPIES POECILIA-RETICULATA; PHENOTYPIC PLASTICITY; 9-SPINED STICKLEBACK; 3-SPINED STICKLEBACK; ARTIFICIAL SELECTION; PUNGITIUS-PUNGITIUS; SOCIAL-ENVIRONMENT; LOCAL ADAPTATION; RELATIVE BRAIN AB Vertebrates exhibit extensive variation in relative brain size. It has long been assumed that this variation is the product of ecologically driven natural selection. Yet, despite more than 100 years of research, the ecological conditions that select for changes in brain size are unclear. Recent laboratory selection experiments showed that selection for larger brains is associated with increased survival in risky environments. Such results lead to the prediction that increased predation should favour increased brain size. Work on natural populations, however, foreshadows the opposite trajectory of evolution; increased predation favours increased boldness, slower learning, and may thereby select for a smaller brain. We tested the influence of predator-induced mortality on brain size evolution by quantifying brain size variation in a Trinidadian killifish, Rivulus hartii, from communities that differ in predation intensity. We observed strong genetic differences in male (but not female) brain size between fish communities; second generation laboratory-reared males from sites with predators exhibited smaller brains than Rivulus from sites in which they are the only fish present. Such trends oppose the results of recent laboratory selection experiments and are not explained by trade-offs with other components of fitness. Our results suggest that increased male brain size is favoured in less risky environments because of the fitness benefits associated with faster rates of learning and problem-solving behaviour.

This study sheds light on NTE of ScF3, one of the most outstanding materials with NTE. The local dynamics of ScF3 has been investigated by a combined analysis of synchrotron-based X-ray total scattering, extended X-ray absorption fine structure, and neutron powder diffraction. Very interestingly, we observe that (i) the Sc-F nearest-neighbor distance strongly expands with increasing temperature, while the Sc-Sc next-nearest-neighbor distance contracts, (ii) the thermal ellipsoids of relative vibrations between Sc-F nearest-neighbors are highly elongated in the direction perpendicular to the Sc-F bond, indicating that the Sc-F bond is much softer to bend than to stretch, and (iii) there is mainly dynamically transverse motion of fluorine atoms, rather than static shifts. These results are direct experimental evidence for the NTE mechanism, in which the rigid unit is not necessary for the occurrence of NTE, and the key role is played by the transverse thermal vibrations of fluorine atoms through the "guitar-string" effect.

To better understand these systems, the thermodynamics of polystyrene-b-poly(methyl methacrylate) (PS-b-PMMA) and poly(vinylphenol) (PVPH) blends were examined using scattering measurements and self-consistent field theory (SCFT). PVPH hydrogen bonds to the PMMA block, resulting in the selective infusion into the PMMA layer. Measurements on initially disordered blends show that this interaction can induce an order disorder transition (ODT). The ODT was observed to be a continuous transition, unlike the first-order thermal ODT typically observed in BCPs. Free energy curves extracted from SCFT simulations also observed a lack of a discontinuity in the first-order derivative. Lamellar systems underwent a greater increase in BCP period compared to identical athermal systems due to the extension of the PMMA chains away from the interface. Comparison with the SCFT models finds good agreement in the predicted behavior of the blends using a negative chi parameter to model interactions between PVPH and PMMA, including the predicted distribution of the PVPH throughout the PMMA layer.

TI Lone-Pair Stabilization in Transparent Amorphous Tin Oxides: A Potential Route to p-Type Conduction Pathways SO CHEMISTRY OF MATERIALS LA English DT Article ID ROOM-TEMPERATURE FABRICATION; THIN-FILM TRANSISTORS; AUGMENTED-WAVE METHOD; SEMICONDUCTOR; CUALO2; SNO; MONOXIDE AB The electronic and atomic structures of amorphous transparent tin oxides have been investigated by a combination of X-ray spectroscopy and atomistic calculations. Crystalline SnO is a promising p-type transparent oxide semiconductor due to a complex lone-pair hybridization that affords both optical transparency despite a small electronic band gap and spherical s-orbital character at the valence band edge. We find that both of these desirable properties (transparency and s-orbital valence band character) are retained upon amorphization despite the disruption of the layered lone-pair states by structural disorder. We explain the anomalously large band gap widening necessary to maintain transparency in terms of lone-pair stabilization via atomic clustering. Our understanding of this mechanism suggests that continuous hole conduction pathways along extended lone pair clusters should be possible under certain stoichiometries. Moreover, these findings should be applicable to other lone-pair active semiconductors. C1 [Wahila, Matthew J.; Lebens-Higgins, Zachary W.; Quackenbush, Nicholas F.; Mason, Katie; Piper, Louis F.

TI Interface-Driven Ferromagnetism within the Quantum Wells of a Rare Earth Titanate Superlattice SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article ID MOLECULAR-BEAM EPITAXY; NEUTRON REFLECTIVITY; OXIDE INTERFACES; GROWTH AB Here we present polarized neutron reflectometry measurements exploring thin film heterostructures composed of a strongly correlated Mott state, GdTiO3, embedded with SrTiO3 quantum wells. Our results reveal that the net ferromagnetism inherent to the Mott GdTiO3 matrix propagates into the nominally nonmagnetic SrTiO3 quantum wells and tracks the magnetic order parameter of the host Mott insulating matrix. Beyond a well thickness of 5 SrO layers, the magnetic moment within the wells is dramatically suppressed, suggesting that quenched well magnetism comprises the likely origin of quantum critical magnetotransport in this thin film architecture. Our data demonstrate that the interplay between proximate exchange fields and polarity-induced carrier densities can stabilize extended magnetic states within SrTiO3 quantum wells. C1 [Need, R.

We use satellite and airborne observations of atmospheric CO2 with climatically forced CO2 flux simulations to assess the detectability of Alaskan carbon cycle signals as future warming evolves. We find that current satellite remote sensing technologies can detect changing uptake accurately during the growing season but lack sufficient cold season coverage and near-surface sensitivity to constrain annual carbon balance changes at regional scale. Airborne strategies that target regular vertical profile measurements within continental interiors are more sensitive to regional flux deeper into the cold season but currently lack sufficient spatial coverage throughout the entire cold season. Thus, the current CO2 observing network is unlikely to detect potentially large CO2 sources associated with deep permafrost thaw and cold season respiration expected over the next 50 y. Although continuity of current observations is vital, strategies and technologies focused on cold season measurements (active remote sensing, aircraft, and tall towers) and systematic sampling of vertical profiles across continental interiors over the full annual cycle are required to detect the onset of carbon release from thawing permafrost.

Water storage is a key uncertainty in the boreal water budget, with tree water storage often ignored. The goal of this study is to quantify tree water content during the snowmelt and growing season periods for Alaskan and western Canadian boreal forests. Deciduous trees reached saturation between snowmelt and leaf-out, taking up 21-25% of the available snowmelt water, while coniferous trees removed < 1%. We found that deciduous trees removed 17.8-20.9 billion m(3) of snowmelt water, which is equivalent to 8.7-10.2% of the Yukon River's annual discharge. Deciduous trees transpired 2-12% (0.4-2.2 billion m(3)) of the absorbed snowmelt water immediately after leaf-out, increasing favorable conditions for atmospheric convection, and an additional 10-30% (2.0-5.2 billion m(3)) between leaf-out and mid-summer. By 2100, boreal deciduous tree area is expected to increase by 1-15%, potentially resulting in an additional 0.3-3 billion m(3) of snowmelt water removed from the soil per year. This study is the first to show that deciduous tree water uptake of snowmelt water represents a large but overlooked aspect of the water balance in boreal watersheds.

By measuring this amplitude, the velocities at which ions exit the presheath can be determined and long-standing controversies regarding presheath transport can be resolved. Here, IEDs measured in rf-biased, inductively coupled plasmas in CF4 gas determined the presheath exit velocities of all significant positive ions: CF3+, CF2+, CF+, and F+. At higher bias voltages, we detected essentially the same velocity for all four ions. For all ions, measured velocities were significantly lower than the Bohm velocity and the electropositive ion sound speed. Neither is an accurate boundary condition for rf sheaths in electronegative gases: under certain low-frequency, high-voltage criteria defined here, either yields large errors in predicted IEDs. These results indicate that many widely used sheath models will need to be revised. C1 [Sobolewski, Mark A.; Wang, Yicheng; Goyette, Amanda] NIST, Gaithersburg, MD 20899 USA.

TI Workshop on Lunar Calibration for Satellite Remote Sensing SO JOURNAL OF RESEARCH OF THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF STANDARDS AND TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article DE calibration; lunar spectral irradiance; moon; radiometry; remote sensing AB Tracking climate variables at the levels of precision and accuracy required to detect global change requires satellite sensors to make highly consistent measurements that can be compared to measurements made at different times and with different instruments. Gaps in climate data records, such as those resulting from launch delay or instrument failure, and inconsistencies in radiometric scales between satellites can introduce unnecessary measurement error and thus undermine the credibility of fundamental climate data records. To address these issues, leading experts in satellite remote sensing and lunar observation and modeling assembled at the National Institute of Standards and Technology from 12-15 May 2012 for a workshop to discuss the utility of and strategies for using the Moon to calibrate satellite remote sensing measurements. This report summarizes the outcome of the workshop, including suggested steps to maximize the value of the Moon as an exoatmospheric calibration source for satellite remote sensing. C1 [Cramer, C.

TI Microwave multiplex readout for superconducting sensors SO NUCLEAR INSTRUMENTS & METHODS IN PHYSICS RESEARCH SECTION A-ACCELERATORS SPECTROMETERS DETECTORS AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT LA English DT Article DE Neutrino mass; Microwave multiplexed readout; Low temparature detectors AB The absolute neutrino mass scale is still an outstanding challenge in both particle physics and cosmology. The calorimetric measurement of the energy released in a nuclear beta decay is a powerful tool to determine the effective electron-neutrino mass. In the last years, the progress on low temperature detector technologies has allowed to design large scale experiments aiming at pushing down the sensitivity on the neutrino mass below 1 eV. Even with outstanding performances in both energy (eV on keV) and time resolution (similar to 1 mu s) on the single channel, a large number of detectors working in parallel is required to reach a sub-eV sensitivity. Microwave frequency domain readout is the best available technique to readout large array of low temperature detectors, such as Transition Edge Sensors (TESs) or Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKIDs). In this way a multiplex factor of the order of thousands can be reached, limited only by the bandwidth of the available commercial fast digitizers. This microwave multiplexing system will be used to readout the HOLMES detectors, an array of 1000 microcalorimeters based on TES sensors in which the Ho-163 will be implanted. HOLMES is a new experiment for measuring the electron neutrino mass by means of the electron capture (EC) decay of Ho-163. We present here the microwave frequency multiplex which will be used in the HOLMES experiment and the microwave frequency multiplex used to readout the MKID detectors developed in Milan as well.

HOLMES will perform a calorimetric measurement of the energy released in the electron capture decay of Ho-163. HOLMES will deploy a large array of low temperature microcalorimeters with implanted Ho-163 nuclei. HOLMES baseline detector is an array of 1000 microcalorimeters each with an implanted Ho-163 activity of about 300 Bq, an energy resolution FVVHM of about 1 eV at the spectrum end-point (Q approximate to 2.5 keV), and a time resolution of about 1 mu s. Matching these performances requires a careful optimization of all components, from the microcalorimeters to the signal processing algorithms.

TI Inside HOLMES experiment: Ho-163 metallic target production for the micro-calorimeter absorber SO NUCLEAR INSTRUMENTS & METHODS IN PHYSICS RESEARCH SECTION A-ACCELERATORS SPECTROMETERS DETECTORS AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT LA English DT Article DE Neutrino mass; Holmes experiment; Reduction and distillation process AB The main goal in the HOLMES experiment is the neutrino mass measurement using an array of 1000 micro-calorimeters with standard metallic absorber. A good isotope for such measurement is the Ho-163, those isotopes embedded in the metallic absorber will be 10(11)-10(13). Since Ho-163 is not available in nature, a dedicated process must be set up to produce the amount needed for this neutrino mass experiment. The process with the highest born-up cross-section is the neutron irradiation of Er2O3 enriched in Er-162: Er-162(n,gamma)Er-163 -> Ho-163 +v(e), where the decay is an EC with half-life of about 75 min and the (n,gamma) is about 20 barns for thermal neutron. After the neutron irradiation in the oxide powder there are several radioactive isotopes which are potentially disturbing because of the background that they cause below 5 keV. The chemical separation of holmium from the irradiation enriched Er2O3 powder is therefore mandatory and will be performed by means of ion exchange chromatography. On the end of those processes the oxide powder enriched in 162Er will have the 163Ho isotope number required. The holmium chemical state influences the end point of the EC spectrum, in order to avoid such effect it is necessary to embed in the absorber only the metallic isotope. Reduction and distillation technique allowed us to obtain a pure metallic holmium, starting from natural oxide holmium. This technique will be applied on the irradiated oxide powder to obtain the metallic Ho-163, ready to be embedded in the micro-calorimeter absorber. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

This, however, creates a problem with quality assurance; to address this we provide an overview of best practices for creating Ecopath, models. We describe the diagnostics that can be used to check for thermodynamic and ecological principles, and highlight principles that should be used for balancing a model. We then highlight the pitfalls when comparing Ecopath models using Ecological Network Analysis indices. For dynamic simulations in Ecosim we show the state of the art in calibrating the model by fitting it to time series using a formal fitting procedure and statistical goodness of fit. Finally, we show how Monte Carlo simulations can be used to address uncertainty in input parameters, and we discuss the use of models in a management context, specifically using the concept of 'key runs' for ecosystem-based management. This novel list of best practices for EwE models will enable ecosystem managers to evaluate the goodness of fit of the given EwE model to the ecosystem management question. (C) 2016 The Authors.

TI Sequence-dependent nanometer-scale conformational dynamics of individual RecBCD-DNA complexes SO NUCLEIC ACIDS RESEARCH LA English DT Article ID ESCHERICHIA-COLI RECBCD; SINGLE-STRANDED-DNA; RECOMBINATION HOTSPOT-CHI; VIRUS NS3 HELICASE; CROSS-LINKED DNA; OPTICAL TWEEZERS; STEP-SIZE; NUCLEASE ACTIVITY; HIGH-RESOLUTION; RNA-POLYMERASE AB RecBCD is a multifunctional enzyme that possesses both helicase and nuclease activities. To gain insight into the mechanism of its helicase function, RecBCD unwinding at low adenosine triphosphate (ATP) (2-4 mu M) was measured using an optical-trapping assay featuring 1 base-pair (bp) precision. Instead of uniformly sized steps, we observed forward motion convolved with rapid, large-scale (similar to 4 bp) variations in DNA length. We interpret this motion as conformational dynamics of the RecBCD-DNA complex in an unwinding-competent state, arising, in part, by an enzyme-induced, back-and-forth motion relative to the dsDNA that opens and closes the duplex. Five observations support this interpretation. First, these dynamics were present in the absence of ATP. Second, the onset of the dynamics was coupled to RecBCD entering into an unwinding-competent state that required a sufficiently long 5' strand to engage the RecD helicase. Third, the dynamics were modulated by the GC-content of the dsDNA. Fourth, the dynamics were suppressed by an engineered interstrand cross-link in the dsDNA that prevented unwinding. Finally, these dynamics were suppressed by binding of a specific non-hydrolyzable ATP analog. Collectively, these observations show that during unwinding, RecBCD binds to DNA in a dynamic mode that is modulated by the nucleotide state of the ATP-binding pocket.

We report control over pore chemistry and size in metal coordination networks with hexafluorosilicate and organic linkers for the purpose of preferential binding and orderly assembly of acetylene molecules through cooperative host-guest and/or guest-guest interactions. The specific binding sites for acetylene are validated by modeling and neutron powder diffraction studies. The energies associated with these binding interactions afford high adsorption capacity (2.1 millimoles per gram at 0.025 bar) and selectivity (39.7 to 44.8) for acetylene at ambient conditions. Their efficiency for the separation of acetylene/ethylene mixtures is demonstrated by experimental breakthrough curves (0.73 millimoles per gram from a 1/99 mixture).

However, salinity is difficult to estimate in coastal and estuarine waters at the temporal and spatial resolution required. Retrieving sea surface salinity (SSS) using satellite ocean color radiometry may provide estimates with reasonable accuracy and resolution for coastal waters that could be assimilated into hydrodynamic models to improve SSS forecasts. We evaluated the applicability of satellite SSS retrievals from two algorithms for potential assimilation into National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Chesapeake Bay Operational Forecast System (CBOFS) hydrodynamic model. Of the two satellite algorithms, a generalized additive model (GAM) outperformed that of an artificial neural network (ANN), with mean bias and root-mean-square error (RMSE) of 1.27 and 3.71 for the GAM and 3.44 and 5.01 for the ANN. However, the RMSE for the SSS predicted by CBOFS (2.47) was lower than that of both satellite algorithms. Given the better precision of the CBOFS model, assimilation of satellite ocean color SSS retrievals will not improve CBOFS forecasts of SSS in Chesapeake Bay. The bias in the GAM SSS retrievals suggests that adding a variable related to precipitation may improve its performance. (C) The Authors.

TI Dynamic signature of molecular association in methanol SO JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID LIQUID METHANOL; NEUTRON-DIFFRACTION; SUPERCOOLED WATER; TEMPERATURE; CLUSTERS; ALCOHOLS AB Quasielastic neutron scattering measurements and molecular dynamics simulations were combined to investigate the collective dynamics of deuterated methanol, CD3OD. In the experimentally determined dynamic structure factor, a slow, non-Fickian mode was observed in addition to the standard density-fluctuation heat mode. The simulation results indicate that the slow dynamical process originates from the hydrogen bonding of methanol molecules. The qualitative behavior of this mode is similar to the previously observed alpha-relaxation in supercooled water [M. C. Bellissent-Funel et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 85, 3644 (2000)] which also originates from the formation and dissolution of hydrogen-bonded associates (supramolecular clusters). In methanol, however, this mode is distinguishable well above the freezing transition. This finding indicates that an emergent slow mode is not unique to supercooled water, but may instead be a general feature of hydrogen-bonding liquids and associating molecular liquids.

TI Asymmetrical phase separation and gelation in binary mixtures of oppositely charged colloids SO JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID SHORT-RANGE ATTRACTION; ELECTROSTATIC HETEROAGGREGATION; SPINODAL DECOMPOSITION; POLYMER MIXTURES; LATEX-PARTICLES; MODEL; BEHAVIOR; DISPERSIONS; STABILITY; FLOCCULATION AB Two types of colloidal particles, which are nearly the same in chemical composition but carry opposite surface charges, are mixed in water. Depending on the relative proportion of the oppositely charged particles, the process of aggregation leads to the formation of discrete clusters of various sizes in dilute dispersions, and to the development of particle gel networks in more concentrated systems. Due to the significant difference in the absolute values of surface charges (negative particle: -48 mV, positive particle: + 24 mV), the phase separation and the gelation behaviors are asymmetric with respect to the mixing ratio. Mixtures with excess negative particles are more stable, while mixtures with excess positive particles are easily affected by phase separation. The hetero-aggregation triggered by the addition of microscopically large macro-ions is similar to what is often observed in a mono-component charged colloidal system, i.e., phase separation occurs through addition of small electrolyte ions. Within the concentration region investigated here, it is clear that the gel line is buried inside the phase separation region. Gelation occurs only when the number and size of the clusters are large and big enough to connect up into a space-spanning network. Our results indicate that, in this binary mixture of oppositely charged colloids, although the interaction between unlike species is attractive and that between like species is repulsive, the onset of gelation is in fact governed by the equilibrium phase separation, as in the case of purely attractive systems with short-range isotropic interaction.

However, using incoherent neutron scattering, we show that even at a concentration too low for pore formation, an archetypal antimicrobial peptide, melittin, disrupts the regular phase behavior of the microscopic dynamics in a phospholipid membrane, dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC). At the same time, another antimicrobial peptide, alamethicin, does not exert a similar effect on the DMPC microscopic dynamics. The melittin-altered lateral motion of DMPC at physiological temperature no longer resembles the fluid-phase behavior characteristic of functional membranes of the living cells. The disruptive effect demonstrated by melittin even at low concentrations reveals a new mechanism of antimicrobial action relevant in more realistic scenarios, when peptide concentration is not as high as would be required for pore formation, which may facilitate treatment with antimicrobial peptides.

Bayesian linear unmixing revealed an uneven distribution of the T phase, which is stabilized by the surface defects and uneven local doping that went undetectable by other classical analysis techniques such as PCA and SIMPLISMA.

In recent years, MCEs have gained attention due to their depths that provide protection from natural and anthropogenic stressors and their relative stability over evolutionary time periods, yet ecological structures of fish assemblages in MCEs remain largely un-documented. Here, we investigated composition and trophic structure of reef fish assemblages in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI) along a depth gradient from 1 to 67 m. The structure of reef fish assemblages as a whole showed a clear gradient from shallow to mesophotic depths. Fish assemblages at mesophotic depths had higher total densities than those in shallower waters, and were characterized by relatively high densities of planktivores and invertivores and relatively low densities of herbivores. Fishes that typified assemblages at mesophotic depths included six species that are endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. The present study showed that mesophotic reefs in the NWHI support unique assemblages of fish that are characterized by high endemism and relatively high densities of planktivores. Our findings underscore the ecological importance of these undersurveyed ecosystems and warrant further studies of MCEs.

XRD analysis revealed that the films were (200)/(020) and (001) textured with a large in -plane tensile stress. Cross-sectional TEM analyses confirmed the bismuth layered -structure, as well as crystalline orientations and a strain-controlled growth mode of the grains. Result of a quantitative XPS analysis revealed that the composition of the film is close to the chemical stoichiometry. Excellent electrical properties were achieved in the CBNO films, including a high dielectric constant (similar to 280 @5 kHz), a small dielectric loss (tgo < 1.6% up to an applied electric field of -4200 kV/cm) and a large polarization (P-r approximate to 14, mu C/cm(2) @ 1 kHz).

Excitation energies, reduced matrix elements, transition rates, and lifetimes are determined for levels with principal quantum numbers n <= 12 and orbital angular momentum quantum numbers l <= 3. Recommended values and estimates of uncertainties are provided for a number of electric-dipole transitions and the electric dipole polarizabilities of the ns, np, and nd states. We also report a calculation of the electric quadrupole polarizability of the ground state. We display the dynamic polarizabilities of the 6s and 7p states for optical wavelengths between 1160 and 1800 nm and identify corresponding magic wavelengths for the 6s - 7p(1/2) and 6s - 7p(3/2) transitions. The values of relevant matrix elements needed for polarizability calculations at other wavelengths are provided. C1 [Safronova, M.

Louca, Despina TI Strong correlations between vacancy and magnetic ordering in superconducting K0.8Fe2-ySe2 SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID PHASE-SEPARATION; KXFE2-YSE2 AB The coexistence of magnetic and nonmagnetic phases in the superconducting potassium iron selenide, KxFe2-ySe2, has been intensely debated. With superconductivity proposed to appear in a stoichiometric, nonmagnetic phase with I4/mmm crystal symmetry, the proposed nonsuperconducting phase is magnetic and has a lower symmetry, I4/m. The latter consists of Fe vacancies that go through a disordered-to-ordered transition in which the partially filled Fe sites create a supercell upon ordering. We show, using neutron scattering on the optimally doped composition, K0.8Fe2-ySe2, that the absence of magnetism does not signal the presence of superconductivity. Moreover, the degree of vacancy order is coupled to the strength of the magnetic order. Superconductivity coincides with the presence of the magnetic order parameter, albeit the latter is significantly weaker than previously reported, contradicting the current understanding of this similar to 30K superconductor.

TI Ecosystem experiment reveals benefits of natural and simulated beaver dams to a threatened population of steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) SO SCIENTIFIC REPORTS LA English DT Article ID ENVIRONMENTAL-IMPACT ASSESSMENT; COLUMBIA RIVER-BASIN; CHINOOK SALMON; STREAM; HABITAT; OREGON; RECOVERY; SURVIVAL; RESTORATION; EVOLUTION AB Beaver have been referred to as ecosystem engineers because of the large impacts their dam building activities have on the landscape; however, the benefits they may provide to fluvial fish species has been debated. We conducted a watershed-scale experiment to test how increasing beaver dam and colony persistence in a highly degraded incised stream affects the freshwater production of steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Following the installation of beaver dam analogs (BDAs), we observed significant increases in the density, survival, and production of juvenile steelhead without impacting upstream and downstream migrations. The steelhead response occurred as the quantity and complexity of their habitat increased. This study is the first large-scale experiment to quantify the benefits of beavers and BDAs to a fish population and its habitat. Beaver mediated restoration may be a viable and efficient strategy to recover ecosystem function of previously incised streams and to increase the production of imperiled fish populations.

TI Evaluation of carbon nanotube probes in critical dimension atomic force microscopes SO JOURNAL OF MICRO-NANOLITHOGRAPHY MEMS AND MOEMS LA English DT Article DE critical dimension atomic force microscope; atomic force microscope; carbon nanotube tip; nanomanipulation; ion beam bending; ion beam induced deposition; critical dimension metrology ID SCANNING PROBE; CD-SEM; ION-BEAM; TIP AB The decreasing size of semiconductor features and the increasing structural complexity of advanced devices have placed continuously greater demands on manufacturing metrology, arising both from the measurement challenges of smaller feature sizes and the growing requirement to characterize structures in more than just a single critical dimension. For scanning electron microscopy, this has resulted in increasing sophistication of imaging models. For critical dimension atomic force microscopes (CD-AFMs), this has resulted in the need for smaller and more complex tips. Carbon nanotube (CNT) tips have thus been the focus of much interest and effort by a number of researchers. However, there have been significant issues surrounding both the manufacture and use of CNT tips. Specifically, the growth or attachment of CNTs to AFM cantilevers has been a challenge to the fabrication of CNT tips, and the flexibility and resultant bending artifacts have presented challenges to using CNT tips. The Korea Research Institute for Standards and Science (KRISS) has invested considerable effort in the controlled fabrication of CNT tips and is collaborating with the National Institute of Standards and Technology on the application of CNT tips for CD-AFM. Progress by KRISS on the precise control of CNT orientation, length, and end modification, using manipulation and focused ion beam processes, has allowed us to implement ball-capped CNT tips and bent CNT tips for CD-AFM. Using two different generations of CD-AFM instruments, we have evaluated these tip types by imaging a line/space grating and a programmed line edge roughness specimen. We concluded that these CNTs are capable of scanning the profiles of these structures, including re-entrant sidewalls, but there remain important challenges to address. These challenges include tighter control of tip geometry and careful optimization of scan parameters and algorithms for using CNT tips. (C) The Authors.

Both a covariance matrix adaptation evolutionary strategy and differential evolution algorithm are implemented and compared using various objective functions. The algorithms and objective functions are used to minimize differences between diffraction simulations and measured diffraction data. These simulations are parameterized with an electron density model known to roughly correspond to the real-space structure of our nanogratings. The study shows that for x-ray scattering data, the covariance matrix adaptation coupled with a mean-absolute error log objective function is the most efficient combination of algorithm and goodness of fit criterion for finding structures with little foreknowledge about the underlying fine scale structure features of the nanograting.

Simulations of energy deposition are used to calculate the energy density as a function of the incident aerial flux (EUV: mJ/cm(2), EB: mu C/cm(2)). Monte Carlo calculations for electron exposure are utilized, and a Lambert-Beer model for EUV absorption. The ratio of electron flux to photon flux which results in equivalent energy density is calculated for a typical organic chemically amplified resist film and a typical inorganic metal-oxide film. This ratio can be used to screen EUV resist materials with EB measurements and accelerate advances in EUV resist systems.

The rescued colonies had been dislodged but reattached in situ 10-12 years later (hereafter termed "restored" corals). Change in live coral tissue area was assessed using novel contoured tissue measurements which proved useful in detecting small changes in tissue area for slow-growing coral species. At the initial survey, restored boulder corals had a higher level of partial mortality (33.8 +/- 3.1%, mean +/- SE) relative to reference corals (19.9 +/- 2.5%), likely a result of prolonged detachment. During the course of the 5-year monitoring period, whole-colony mortality was greater for restored corals (13.1%) compared to reference corals (3.3%). For surviving corals, restored coral growth and recent mortality rates were similar to reference corals even though restored corals, especially those of Dichocoenia stokesii, had greater disease prevalence (19.7%) than reference corals (6.6%). These results suggest that dislodged boulder coral rescue following an acute disturbance can be an effective tool in stemming tissue loss. If dislodged corals were reattached in a more timely manner, we predict that the survival and tissue growth would be greater.

Snow, Michael TI Investigating the cryptogenic status of the sea squirt Didemnum perlucidum (Tunicata, Ascidiacea) in Australia based on a molecular study of its global distribution SO AQUATIC INVASIONS LA English DT Article DE Didemnidae; cytochrome c oxidase I; colonial sea squirt; introduced ID BIOLOGICAL INVASIONS; WESTERN-AUSTRALIA; GENETIC DATA; DIVERSITY; INVENTORY AB Didemnid species are assessed as species with a high invasive potential for Australia and as such are listed as target species for both state and national monitoring programs. The presence of the sea squirt Didemnum perlucidum (Monniot, 1983) was first documented in Australia in 2010 and has since then been detected extensively throughout the state of Western Australia and in the Northern Territory. These detections have raised important questions as to the origin and potential impact of this species in Australia. The current study was initiated to review the current known global geographic range of D. perlucidum and to obtain specimens that could support molecular studies aimed at evaluating the potential origin of this species in Australia. Characterization of 5' COI mitochondrial sequences from 286 specimens revealed a remarkably low level of genetic diversity across the current known range of D. perlucidum and the existence of one main widespread genetic haplotype. Such findings suggest that all locations sampled in this study may in fact represent introductions of D. perlucidum and that the natural native range of the species remains unknown. Our demonstration that specimens (n=187) originating from across a broad expanse of the Australian West Coast were comprised of a single haplotype also lends support to the hypothesis that D. perlucidum is a species that has been introduced recently into Australia. This hypothesis is supported by the fact that D. perlucium distribution in Australia is mostly confined to artificial structures, it has displayed invasive characteristics, and its presence is now being detected across an increasingly wide geographical area. Given the demonstrated low level of genetic COI variation across its known global distribution, lack of clarity around its native range, and limited availability of data on this species globally, we recognize the requirement for further work to more fully elucidate the exact origins and patterns of distribution of D. perlucidum in Australia. This study represents the most comprehensive mapping of the current global distribution of D. perlucidum conducted to date and will hopefully motivate further studies aimed at elucidating this species biology, origin, high-risk routes and impacts.

TI Male color phase in gag: implications for monitoring sex ratio via visual underwater surveys and port sample observations SO BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID GULF-OF-MEXICO; MYCTEROPERCA-MICROLEPIS SERRANIDAE; SOUTHEASTERN UNITED-STATES; SOCIAL-CONTROL; REPRODUCTIVE-BIOLOGY; BLUEHEAD WRASSE; GROUPER; PISCES; FISHES; REEF AB Fishing of gag (Mycteroperca microlepis Goode and Bean, 1879) spawning aggregations in the northern Gulf of Mexico has reduced the percentage of males in the population from approximately 17% to 2% since the 1970s. This is critical as gag are monandric, protogynous hermaphrodites, and accurate estimation of size-attransition and sex ratio is necessary for proper management. Presence of darkened pigmentation on the abdomen was thought to indicate transition from female to male, and thus, video observations of gag with dark pigmentation were used to estimate sex ratios and indices of abundance. Recent video observations of gag demonstrate that they can change pigmentation patterns within seconds, which could be leading to misidentification of males in those surveys. Results of our investigation showed that males observed in the video survey, as determined by pigmentation only, are significantly shorter than males observed in the commercial fishery, which were determined using both pigmentation and histological examination. Significant differences were detected between pigmented and non-pigmented gag in the commercial data, but not in the video survey data. Additionally, size at which 50% of females had transitioned to male was significantly larger when estimated using commercial fishery data vs the video survey data. Due to significant differences in length distributions and estimates of size-at-transition, and evidence of rapid changes in pigmentation patterns, it is inadvisable to estimate sex ratios or relative indices of abundance by sex for gag from video observations. To address potential shifts in size- and age-at-transition, continued monitoring of sex ratios using histological techniques is recommended.

Predominant prey groups were copepods, cirripeds, and cladocerans. Inter-annual differences in diet resulted from changes in the consumption of copepods and unique prey groups (e.g., cladocerans). Body length had an effect on T. thynnus diet, and a relative increase in copepod consumption occurred beyond 5 mm. Feeding intensity (i.e., the number of prey per digestive tract) was higher during 2010 than 2008 and 2009 and positively correlated with increasing T. thynnus BL. No fish prey were observed, which suggests piscivory in GOM T. thynnus does not occur at sizes < 6 mm. Patterns in feeding incidence (i.e., total number of digestive tracts with prey divided by the total number of digestive tracts) contrasted with reports from the Mediterranean Sea, suggesting T. thynnus may have distinct early life history strategies between the two regions.

We have developed image analysis and visualization software that allows effective use of time-lapse microscopy to provide spatial and dynamic information from large numbers of human embryonic stem cell colonies. To achieve statistically relevant sampling, we examined >680 colonies from 3 different preparations of cells over 5 days each, generating a total experimental dataset of 0.9 terabyte (TB). The 0.5 Giga-pixel images at each time point were represented by multi-resolution pyramids and visualized using the Deep Zoom Javascript library extended to support viewing Giga-pixel images over time and extracting data on individual colonies. We present a methodology that enables quantification of variations in nominally-identical preparations and between colonies, correlation of colony characteristics with Oct4 expression, and identification of rare events.

The precipitation product synthesizes both state-of-the-art multisatellite precipitation algorithms and the latest, densest gauge observations to provide high-quality precipitation information at a very fine temporal and spatial resolution (0.1 degrees/hourly) that encompasses all of China. The geographical and seasonal variations in precipitation are systematically documented over seven subregions, each corresponding to a unique climate regime. PA, PF, and PI have large seasonal and geographical variations across China. It is found that 1) although heavy precipitation events (>10 mm/h) represent only 0.8% of total precipitation occurrence over China, they contribute 12.1% of the total precipitation volume. Light precipitation events (<1 mm/h) dominate the precipitation occurrence (74.3%) and contribute 23.1% of the total precipitation volume; 2) over the high-altitude Tibetan Plateau (TP), the landlocked Xinjiang (XJ) province, and northwestern China (NW), light precipitation events (<1 mm/h) occur very frequently (74.7%, 82.1%, and 64.1% of all precipitation events) and contribute 29.8%, 35.5%, and 27.4% of the total precipitation volume. This initial continental-scale study provides new insights on precipitation characteristics that can benefit meteorological and hydrological modeling and applications, especially in areas with sparse rain-gauge coverage.

The results show that: 1) both precipitation amount (PA) and frequency (PF) show strong diurnal cycles with local solar time (LST); 2) peak times of PA (PAPT) primarily occur from 15 LST to 00 LST in most parts of the Tibet Plateau (TP), Xinjiang (XJ), Northwestern China (NW), Northeastern China (NE), and Southern China (SC), and the PAPT occurs from 00 LST to 09 LST in southern TP, Eastern XJ, western NW, southern NE, eastern Northern China (NC), and most parts of Southwestern China (SW); 3) the PAPT transitions eastward with time, occurring at similar to 15 LST in central TP, at midnight in SW, and at 15-18 LST in the eastern coastal regions that are in the lower reach of Yangtze River and in the north side of Wuyi Mountains; 4) peak times of PF (PFPT) show a similar spatial pattern with PAPT, but with a small temporal (1-2 h) lead; 5) peak times of precipitation intensity (PIPT) occur during the 18-00 LST time frame in the southeastern TP and central SW regions. The PIPT along the upper Yangtze River valley occurs around 00-06 LST. The PIPT occurs in the morning at around 06-09 LST in the mid-lower Yangtze River valley and most parts of SC. This study on the diurnal cycle of precipitation over China can be used as a reference to validate atmospheric and hydrologic models, and also to guide hydrometerological research and applications.

In order to understand the capability of these two sensors in observing the spatial and temporal distribution of CH4, this paper compares the CH4 products from AIRS and IASI with aircraft measurements, as well as the corresponding time series in tropics and high northern latitude regions. It is found that the mean degree of freedom from AIRS is smaller than IASI by -0.049 +/- 0.152, and in their peak sensitive altitude between 350 and 650 hPa their difference (AIRS - IASI) is about 2.8 +/- 17.2 ppb. Both AIRS and IASI can capture the latitudinal gradient, but there is a large scattering in the high northern latitude regions. They agree well in observing the summer enhancement of CH4 during the Monsoon season over South Asia, and the seasonal cycles over Siberia (except for a relatively larger difference in the cold season). These results highlight that AIRS and IASI can provide valuable information to capture the spatiotemporal variation of CH4 in the mid-upper troposphere in most periods and regions, but it is needed to further improve the data quality to make a consistent product using both sensors.

Mortars were produced for three different water/binder ratios by mass (w/b), 0.4, 0.5, and 0.6. Optimized proportions were obtained for a minimum target compressive strength of 35 kgf/cm(2) (3.4 MPa) according to the requirements of Mexican standards for nonstructural masonry units. Thermal conductivity was determined for dry and saturated samples through the transient plane technique with average results of 0.16 and 0.31 W/(m K), respectively. These values represent an increment of 23% and a reduction of 33% in comparison to an efficient Portland cement-based commercially available thermal insulator. C1 [Duran-Herrera, A.; Campos-Dimas, J.

But, the rate at which its hydration rate decreases as a function of the RH has not yet been elucidated. By invoking correspondence between RH and water activity ( a(H), unitless), both of which are related to the chemical potential of water, the reaction evolutions of triclinic tricalcium silicate ( i.e., T1-Ca3SiO5 or C3S) are tracked in water + isopropanol ( IPA) mixtures, prepared across a wide range of water activities. Emphasis is placed on quantifying the: ( a) rate of hydration as a function of aH, and ( b) the critical ( initial, a(H0c) or the achieved) water activity at which hydration effectively ceases, i.e., does not progress; here identified to be approximate to 0.70. The hydration of tricalcium silicate is arrested even when the system remains near saturated with a liquid phase, such that small, if any, capillary stresses develop. This suggests that changes in chemical potential induced via a vapor-phase or liquid-phase route both induce similar suppressions of C3S hydration. A phase boundary nucleation and growth ( pBNG) model is fit to measured hydration rates from the onset of the acceleration period until well beyond the rate maximum when the water activity is altered. The simulations suggest that for a fixed hydrate nucleation density, any water activity reductions consistently suppress the growth of hydration products. Thermodynamic considerations of how water activity changes may influence reactions/ hydrate evolutions are discussed. The outcomes improve our understanding of the chemical factors that influence the rate of Ca3SiO5 hydration.

Passive acoustic monitoring was conducted over 3 mo in 2012 to document the occurrence of odontocetes near a seamount chain in the central equatorial Pacific in relation to oceanographic changes over time. Beaked whale echolocation signals were most frequently encountered. The main beaked whale signal was an unknown type, BW38, which resembled signals produced by Blainville's beaked whales. It had high occurrence during high sea surface temperature and low sea surface salinity. Cuvier's beaked whales were the second most detected. They had an opposite pattern and were encountered more often when sea surface temperature was low and net primary productivity was high. Risso's dolphins and short-finned pilot whales had high acoustic densities, and echolocated predominantly at night. Risso's dolphins occurred more often during low sea surface height deviation. False killer whales were less frequently detected and mostly occurred during the day. Sperm whale detections were fewer than expected and associated with high chlorophyll a. Short duration Kogiidae encounters occurred on average every third day. These types of long-term site studies are an informative tool to comparatively assess species composition, relative abundance, and relationship to oceanographic changes.

Historically, the ecology of diving vertebrates has been studied using high-resolution time-depth records; however, to date such data have not been available for leopard seals. Twenty-one time-depth recorders were deployed on seasonally resident adult females in January and February between 2008 and 2014. The average deployment length was 13.65 +/- 11.45 d and 40,308 postfilter dives were recorded on 229 foraging trips. Dive durations averaged 2.20 +/- 1.23 min. Dives were shallow with 90.1% measuring 30 m or less, and a mean maximum dive depth of 16.60 +/- 10.99 m. Four dive types were classified using a k-means cluster analysis and compared with corresponding animal-borne video data. Dive activity (number of dives/hour) was concentrated at night, including crepuscular periods. Haul-out probabilities were highest near midday and were positively correlated with available daylight. Visual observations and comparisons of diving activity between and within years suggest individual-based differences of foraging effort by time of day. Finally, dive and video data indicate that in addition to at-surface hunting, benthic searching and facultative scavenging are important foraging strategies for leopard seals near coastal mesopredator breeding colonies.

Crassicauda sp. has only been reported in Kogia breviceps to date, but no study has yet investigated a large sample of both kogiid species. A 15 yr record of 104 kogiid strandings (K. sima, n = 40; K. breviceps, n = 64) in North Carolina and Virginia, U.S.A. was used to determine the prevalence of Crassicauda sp. across species, within species across sex, and within sex across length and life history categories. Crassicauda sp. was confirmed to be a species-specific parasite among kogiids infecting only K. breviceps (prevalence = 45%). Within K. breviceps, prevalence was similar (45%) in both immature and mature males, but increased from 10% in immature to 76% in mature females. This study confirmed the cervico-thoracic distribution of the parasite, and identified a novel site of infection in a previously undescribed exocrine gland associated with the pigmented "false gill slit." The species-specific nature of Crassicauda sp. infection, the exocrine gland, and the distinct features of the false gill slit pigmentation associated with the gland, are all useful characters to identify kogiid species in the field.

TAT histograms represent a bandwidth-conserving method of recovering a long-term proxy record of dive activity. However, using temperature to interpret TAT on a scale of approximate depths required the complex estimation of TAT histogram bin boundary depths in a dynamic oceanographic region. Here we evaluated the relative performance of four interpolation methods and a global reanalysis data assimilation model in estimating climatological isotherm depth surfaces within our study area. TAT-derived approximate time-at-depth (TAD) distributions aligned closely with directly observed TAD distributions from a smaller sample of depth-recording satellite tags deployed on separate individuals of each species. TAT-derived approximate depth distributions were also consistent with various published accounts for this suite of species. Estimating dive ranges and time budgets are important components of (1) understanding habitat overlap between species, (2) evaluating the potential role of these predators in meso-and bathypelagic ecosystems, and (3) assessing vulnerability and exposure to anthropogenic impacts.

The potential effect that this recovery will have on trophic dynamics involving these predators is currently unknown. To better elucidate complex trophic dynamics, variability in diet composition of apex predators on their respective feeding grounds needs to be understood. Thus, we explored the diet composition of two defined subaggregations of humpback whales of the Kodiak Archipelago population ("North," "South") using stable carbon (delta C-13) and nitrogen (delta N-15) isotope ratios of humpback whale skin and regional prey samples in Bayesian dietary mixing models. Humpback whales in the "North" region consumed proportionally more fish, dominated by capelin (Mallotus villosus), whereas, whales in the "South" region consumed predominantly krill. The difference in diet composition appears to reflect regional differences in prey availability. Thus, regional variability in diet composition by humpback whales may have disproportionate impacts on prey resources of sympatric predators depending on available prey biomass. As a result, we suggest fine-scale studies of apex predator diets are needed to better model trophic dynamics with accuracy.

A first batch of tests identified a coarse processing window which was then more closely defined by subsequent tests. The effects of barrel temperature, screw speed, take-up speed and quenching (through the parameters of air gap and bath temperature) on the Poisson's ratio and Young's modulus of the fibres were examined. It was found that a temperature of 200 degrees C, screw speed of 12.5 rpm and take-up speed of either 1.5 or 3.5 rpm produced fibres with a high degree of auxeticity up to 5% strain -significantly increasing the auxetic strain range previously reported for lab-scale extrusions at lower extruder temperatures. Quenching with a water bath reduced the auxeticity, so was not employed as a processing parameter. (C) 2016 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

In this paper, we show that six common measures, nonlinearity, algebraic degree, annihilator immunity, algebraic thickness, normality, and multiplicative complexity, are incomparable in the sense that for each pair of measures, mu(1), mu(2), there exist functions f(1), f(2) with f(1) being more nonlinear than f(2) according to mu(1), but less nonlinear according to mu(2). We also present new connections between two of these measures. Additionally, we give a lower bound on the multiplicative complexity of collision-free functions.

TI Enzyme-level interconversion of nitrate and nitrite in the fall mixed layer of the Antarctic Ocean SO GLOBAL BIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLES LA English DT Article DE nitrate; nitrite; interconversion; seasonality; fall; antarctic ID TROPICAL NORTH PACIFIC; NITROGEN ISOTOPE FRACTIONATION; OXYGEN MINIMUM ZONE; DENITRIFIER METHOD; SOUTHERN-OCEAN; SARGASSO SEA; MARINE-PHYTOPLANKTON; ATMOSPHERIC CO2; AMMONIUM UPTAKE; ORGANIC-MATTER AB In the Southern Ocean, the nitrogen (N) isotopes of organic matter and the N and oxygen (O) isotopes of nitrate (NO3-) have been used to investigate NO3- assimilation and N cycling in the summertime period of phytoplankton growth, both today and in the past. However, recent studies indicate the significance of processes in other seasons for producing the annual cycle of N isotope changes. This study explores the impact of fall conditions on the N-15/N-14 (N-15) and O-18/O-16 (O-18) of NO3- and nitrite (NO2-) in the Pacific Antarctic Zone using depth profiles from late summer/fall of 2014. In the mixed layer, the N-15 and O-18 of NO3-+NO2- increase roughly equally, as expected for NO3- assimilation; however, the N-15 of NO3--only (measured after NO2- removal) increases more than does NO3--only O-18. Differencing indicates that NO2- has an extremely low N-15, often<-70 versus air. These observations are consistent with the expression of an equilibrium N isotope effect between NO3- and NO2-, likely due to enzymatic NO3--NO2- interconversion. Specifically, we propose reversibility of the nitrite oxidoreductase (NXR) enzyme of nitrite oxidizers that, having been entrained from the subsurface during late summer mixed layer deepening, are inhibited by light. Our interpretation suggests a role for NO3--NO2- interconversion where nitrifiers are transported into environments that discourage NO2- oxidation. This may apply to surface regions with upwelling, such as the summertime Antarctic. It may also apply to oxygen-deficient zones, where NXR-catalyzed interconversion may explain previously reported evidence of NO2- oxidation. C1 [Kemeny, P. C.; Weigand, M. A.; Sigman, D.

The setup is based on the reverberation chamber as a well-known measurement environment capable of performing TRP measurements of wireless devices. We show that by applying various stirring techniques, we can reduce the random component of measurement uncertainty to around 2%. We use a model for estimating the uncertainty for TRP measurements based on the K factor, which is compared with uncertainties calculated from relative power measurements and we show excellent agreement. We perform a significance test to confirm that the uncertainty due to the limited number of mode-stirred samples dominates over the uncertainty due to the lack of spatial uniformity. The observed uncertainty is also compared with an ideal chamber situation and shows good agreement. C1 [Senic, Damir] Univ Colorado, Commun Technol Lab, NIST, Boulder, CO 80305 USA.

TI Approaching the quantum limit for plasmonics: linear atomic chains SO JOURNAL OF OPTICS LA English DT Article DE quantum plasmonics; many-body physics; excitons AB Optical excitations in atomic-scale materials can be strongly mixed, with contributions from both single-particle transitions and collective response. This complicates the quantum description of these excitations, because there is no clear way to define their quantization. To develop a quantum theory for these optical excitations, they must first be characterized so that single-particle-like and collective excitations can be identified. Linear atomic chains, such as atom chains on surfaces, linear arrays of dopant atoms in semiconductors, or linear molecules, provide ideal testbeds for studying collective excitations in small atomic-scale systems. We use exact diagonalization to study the many-body excitations of finite (10 to 25) linear atomic chains described by a simplified model Hamiltonian. Exact diagonalization results can be very different from the density functional theory (DFT) results usually obtained. Highly correlated, multiexcitonic states, strongly dependent on the electron-electron interaction strength, dominate the exact spectral and optical response but are not present in DFT excitation spectra. The ubiquitous presence of excitonic many-body states in the spectra makes it hard to identify plasmonic excitations. A combination of criteria involving a many-body state's transfer dipole moment, balance, transfer charge, dynamical response, and induced-charge distribution do strongly suggest which many-body states should be considered as plasmonic. This analysis can be used to reveal the few plasmonic many-body states hidden in the dense spectrum of low-energy single-particle-like states and many higher-energy excitonic-like states. These excitonic states are the predominant excitation because of the many possible ways to develop local correlations.

TI Rheology of clustering protein solutions SO BIOMICROFLUIDICS LA English DT Article ID LYSOZYME; DISPERSIONS; ANTIBODIES AB High viscosity is a major challenge with protein therapeutics at extremely high concentrations. To overcome this obstacle, it is essential to understand the relationship between the concentration of a protein solution and its viscosity as a function of shear rate and temperature. Here, lysozyme is a model charged globular protein having both short-ranged attraction (SA) and long-ranged repulsion (LR) that promote the formation of dynamic clusters at high concentrations. We report viscosity measurements from a micro-capillary rheometer (using only several microliters of solution) over a wide range of lysozyme solution concentrations, shear rates, and temperatures. Solution structural relaxation dynamics are also probed by dynamic light scattering (DLS). As a result of lysozyme's SALR interactions, the viscosity increased dramatically across all shear rates with increasing concentration and decreasing temperature. While most of the solutions exhibited Newtonian behavior, shear thinning was exhibited at the highest concentration (480 g/l) and lowest temperatures at shear rates above approximately 10(4) s(-1). The onset shear rate for thinning and a structural relaxation rate estimated from a slow-mode measured by DLS are compared. These measurements provide insights into the properties of protein solutions and their microscopic structural origins. 1932-1058/2016/10(4)/043509/11/$30.00 C1 [Dharmaraj, Vishnu L.] Montgomery Blair High Sch, Silver Spring, MD 20901 USA.

Five hundred and thirteen adult men and women representing three Native American Tribes were studied annually with standard measures of cognition and razor clam consumption (a known vector of DA exposure) over a four-year period. In addition, a pilot metric of DA concentration exposure was used which took into consideration average DA concentration levels in source beaches, as well as the amount consumed. Based upon generalized estimating equations (GEE) analysis, controlling for age, sex, race, year, education level, tribe, and employment status, findings indicated that high razor clam consumers (15 or more per month) had isolated decrements on some measures of memory (p = 0.02-0.03), with other cognitive functions unaffected. The relatively lower memory scores were still within normal limits, and were thus not clinically significant. The pilot DA exposure metric had no association with any other aspect of cognition or behavior. There is a possible association between long-term, low-level exposure to DA through heavy razor clam consumption and memory functioning. (C) 2016 Published by Elsevier B.V.

TI Assessment of sodium channel mutations in Makah tribal members of the US Pacific Northwest as a potential mechanism of resistance to paralytic shellfish poisoning SO HARMFUL ALGAE LA English DT Article DE Voltage-gated Na+ channel; Paralytic shellfish poisoning; Saxitoxin; Resistance; Harmful algal blooms ID MYA-ARENARIA POPULATIONS; TOXIC DINOFLAGELLATE; POINT MUTATION; PUGET-SOUND; SAXITOXIN; TETRODOTOXIN; WASHINGTON; NERVE; CLAM; PSP AB The Makah Tribe of Neah Bay, Washington, has historically relied on the subsistence harvest of coastal seafood, including shellfish, which remains an important cultural and ceremonial resource. Tribal legend describes visitors from other tribes that died from eating shellfish collected on Makah lands. These deaths were believed to be caused by paralytic shellfish poisoning, a human illness caused by ingestion of shellfish contaminated with saxitoxins, which are produced by toxin producing marine dinoflagellates on which the shellfish feed. These paralytic shellfish toxins include saxitoxin, a potent Na+ channel antagonist that binds to the pore region of voltage gated Na+ channels. Amino acid mutations in the Na+ channel pore have been demonstrated to confer resistance to saxitoxin in softshell clam populations exposed to paralytic shellfish toxins present in their environment. Because of the notion of resistance to paralytic shellfish toxins, the study aimed to determine if a resistance strategy was possible in humans with historical exposure to toxins in shellfish. We collected, extracted and purified DNA from buccal swabs of 83 volunteer Makah tribal members and sequenced the skeletal muscle Na+ channel (Nav1.4) at nine loci to characterize potential mutations in the relevant saxitoxin binding regions. No mutations of these specific regions were identified after comparison to a reference sequence. This study suggests that any resistance of Makah tribal members to saxitoxin, if present, is not a function of Nav1.4 modification, but may be due to. mutations in neuronal or cardiac sodium channels, or some other mechanism unrelated to sodium channel function.

Glenn, Jr. TI Perception of risk for domoic acid related health problems: A cross-cultural study SO HARMFUL ALGAE LA English DT Article DE Risk perception; Cross-cultural; Risk communication; Domoic acid; Razor clam toxicity; Harmful algal blooms AB Risk perception is a complex process that refers to the way people approach, think about, and interpret risks in their environment. An important element of risk perception is that it is culturally situated. Since HABs can present a health risk in many places around the world, looking at cultural parameters for understanding and interpreting risks is important. This study examined how two different groups of people perceive the potential health risks of low-level exposure to domoic acid (DA) through razor clam consumption. The risk perceptions of Washington State, USA coastal dwelling Native American nations (NA) were compared to that of a community sample of recreational razor clam harvesters (CRH). Overall, the findings support the hypothesis that cultural and community specific contexts impact the perception of risk of a DA related illness. Specifically, the NA sample was distinguished from the CRH group in particular, by their worries about ocean pollution, attribution of DA risks to climate change, concerns about the potential impact of DA on future generations, and feeling of being better informed than the CRH group. The CRH group was more likely to attribute the DA problem to anthropogenic or industrial causes and view the risk of health problems from DA as lower than those associated with smoking, high cholesterol, anxiety or depression, alcoholism, high blood pressure or obesity. The CRH group was also more likely to turn to the media for DA-related information. Both groups trusted the decisions of state and tribe health and natural resources officials, and demonstrated a complex pattern of findings that involved gender. In summary, risk communication and outreach activities should be designed to take into consideration the specific factors that are unique to each cultural community.

TI Case diagnosis and characterization of suspected paralytic shellfish poisoning in Alaska SO HARMFUL ALGAE LA English DT Article DE Alaska; High performance liquid chromatography; Mass spectrometry; Paralytic shellfish poisoning; Paralytic shellfish toxin; Saxitoxin ID POSTMORTEM ANALYSIS; SODIUM-CHANNELS; HUMAN URINE; SAXITOXIN; TOXINS; TETRODOTOXIN; SAMPLES; SAFETY; HEALTH; NERVE AB Clinical cases of paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) are common in Alaska, and result from human consumption of shellfish contaminated with saxitoxin (STX) and its analogues. Diagnosis of PSP is presumptive and based on recent ingestion of shellfish and presence of manifestations consistent with symptoms of PSP; diagnosis is confirmed by detection of paralytic shellfish toxins in a clinical specimen or food sample. A clinical diagnostic analytical method using high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) was used to evaluate the diagnosis of saxitoxin-induced PSP (STX-PSP) in 11 Alaskan patients using urine specimens collected between June 2010 and November 2011. Concentrations of urinary STX were corrected for creatinine concentrations to account for dilution or concentration of urine from water intake or restriction, respectively. Of the 11 patients with suspected PSP, four patients were confirmed to have STX-PSP by urine testing (24-364 ng STX/g creatinine). Five patients had clinical manifestations of PSP though no STX was detected in their urine. Two patients were ruled out for STX-PSP based on non-detected urinary STX and the absence of clinical findings. Results revealed that dysphagia and dysarthria may be stronger indicators of PSP than paresthesia and nausea, which are commonly used to clinically diagnose patients with PSP. PSP can also occur from exposure to a number of STX congeners, such as gonyautoxins, however their presence in urine was not assessed in this investigation. In addition, meal remnants obtained from six presumptive PSP cases were analyzed using the Association of Official Analytical Chemists' mouse bioassay. All six samples tested positive for PSP toxins. In the future, the clinical diagnostic method can be used in conjunction with the mouse bioassay or HPLC-MS/MS to assess the extent of STX-PSP in Alaska where it has been suggested that PSP is underreported.

In this paper, we employ the method-of-moments formulation for arbitrary thin wires to study the electromagnetic scattering characteristics of CNTs with realistic shapes. More than 800 different CNT shapes were simulated in this work. These shapes were generated using a coarse-grained molecular dynamics model calibrated using realistic CNT shapes encountered experimentally. The analysis shows that the shape and orientation of CNTs has a strong effect on the scattered electromagnetic response. We used the theory of characteristic modes (TCM) to explain this dependence of the scattered electromagnetic waves on the shape of the CNT. Using TCM, we developed simplified but highly accurate formulas that link the shapes of the CNTs to the resonances in their total extinction coefficient spectrum. These formulations have the potential to be the basis for advancing the nondestructive evaluation of CNT composites using electromagnetic waves as well as the development of novel CNT electromagnetic systems and devices.

TI On the long-term stability of the Lofoten Basin Eddy SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-OCEANS LA English DT Article DE eddy; anticyclonic; Lofoten Basin ID MEDITERRANEAN SALT LENS; FRESH-WATER CONTENT; NORDIC SEAS; ATLANTIC WATER; OCEAN; DRIFTERS; VORTEX; VARIABILITY; CIRCULATION; GENERATION AB In recent years, several studies have identified an area of intense anticyclonic activity about 500 km straight west of the Lofoten Islands at 70 degrees N in the northern Norwegian Sea. Now recognized as the coherent Lofoten Basin Eddy (LBE), it is maintained by a supply of anticyclonic eddies that break away from the Norwegian Atlantic Current. Here we show from ship-based surveys of its velocity field that it is quite stable with a central core in solid body rotation approximate to 1000 m deep, approximate to 8 km radius, and a relative vorticity close to its theoretical limit -f. The surveys also show the LBE typically has a >60 km radius with maximum swirl velocities at 17-20 km radius. From the velocity field, we estimate the dynamic height amplitude at the surface to be about approximate to 0.210.03 dyn. m. Second, altimetry from the last 20 years shows the extremum in sea surface height relative to the surrounding waters to be about the same, 0.2 dyn. m. Third, a float trapped in the LBE for many months reveals a clear cyclonic wandering of the eddy over the deepest parts of the basin. Last, three hydrographic sections from the 1960s show the dynamic height signal to be virtually the same then as it is now. From these observations, we conclude that the LBE is a permanent feature of the Nordic Seas and plays a central role in maintaining the pool of warm water in the western Lofoten Basin.

The equations of motion are for the combined Eulerian current and Stokes drift. On the other hand, a more recent approach includes the so-called vortex force term in the momentum equation wherein the only wave property is Stokes drift. The equations of motion are for the Eulerian current. The idea has gained traction in the ocean science community, a fact that motivates this paper. A question is: can both theories be correct? This paper answers the question in the negative and presents arguments in favor of the wave radiation theory. The vortex force approach stems from an interesting mathematical construct, but it does stand up to physical or mathematical scrutiny as described in this paper. Although not the primary focus of the paper, some discussion of Langmuir circulation is included since the vortex force was first introduced as the basis of this oceanic cellular phenomenon. Finaly the paper explains the difference in the derivation of the radiation stress theory and the vortex force theory: the later theory entails errors related to its use of curl and reverse-curl [or uncurl] processes.

TI Quantifying uncertainty in Gulf of Mexico forecasts stemming from uncertain initial conditions SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-OCEANS LA English DT Article DE polynomial chaos; uncertainty quantification; Gulf of Mexico Circulation ID STOCHASTIC PROJECTION METHOD; POLYNOMIAL CHAOS; ORTHOGONAL POLYNOMIALS; DIFFERENTIAL-EQUATIONS; LOOP CURRENT; FLUID-FLOW; CIRCULATION; QUANTIFICATION; EVOLUTION; SYSTEM AB Polynomial Chaos (PC) methods are used to quantify the impacts of initial conditions uncertainties on oceanic forecasts of the Gulf of Mexico circulation. Empirical Orthogonal Functions are used as initial conditions perturbations with their modal amplitudes considered as uniformly distributed uncertain random variables. These perturbations impact primarily the Loop Current system and several frontal eddies located in its vicinity. A small ensemble is used to sample the space of the modal amplitudes and to construct a surrogate for the evolution of the model predictions via a nonintrusive Galerkin projection. The analysis of the surrogate yields verification measures for the surrogate's reliability and statistical information for the model output. A variance analysis indicates that the sea surface height predictability in the vicinity of the Loop Current is limited to about 20 days.

Evidence of how storm-surge extremes have evolved since the start of the most recent warming of mid-1970s and early 1980s has not been firmly established however. Here we use 64 years (1950-2013) of observations and model simulations, and find evidence of a significant rise in the intensity as well as poleward-shifting of location of typhoon surges in the western North Pacific after 1980s. The rising and poleward-shifting trends are caused by the weakening of the steering flow in the tropics, which is related to climate warming, resulting in slower-moving and longer-lasting typhoons which had shifted northward.

TI Vertical distribution of buoyant Microcystis blooms in a Lagrangian particle tracking model for short-term forecasts in Lake Erie SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-OCEANS LA English DT Article DE numerical modeling; ecological forecasting; Lake Erie; Microcystis; Harmful algal bloom; cyanobacteria ID THERMAL STRUCTURE; WATER COLUMN; WESTERN GULF; ATLANTIC COD; GREAT-LAKES; CYANOBACTERIA; CIRCULATION; STRATIFICATION; EUTROPHICATION; AERUGINOSA AB Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (CHABs) are a problem in western Lake Erie, and in eutrophic fresh waters worldwide. Western Lake Erie is a large (3000 km(2)), shallow (8 m mean depth), freshwater system. CHABs occur from July to October, when stratification is intermittent in response to wind and surface heating or cooling (polymictic). Existing forecast models give the present location and extent of CHABs from satellite imagery, then predict two-dimensional (surface) CHAB movement in response to meteorology. In this study, we simulated vertical distribution of buoyant Microcystis colonies, and 3-D advection, using a Lagrangian particle model forced by currents and turbulent diffusivity from the Finite Volume Community Ocean Model (FVCOM). We estimated the frequency distribution of Microcystis colony buoyant velocity from measured size distributions and buoyant velocities. We evaluated several random-walk numerical schemes to efficiently minimize particle accumulation artifacts. We selected the Milstein scheme, with linear interpolation of the diffusivity profile in place of cubic splines, and varied the time step at each particle and step based on the curvature of the local diffusivity profile to ensure that the Visser time step criterion was satisfied. Inclusion of vertical mixing with buoyancy significantly improved model skill statistics compared to an advection-only model, and showed greater skill than a persistence forecast through simulation day 6, in a series of 26 hindcast simulations from 2011. The simulations and in situ observations show the importance of subtle thermal structure, typical of a polymictic lake, along with buoyancy in determining vertical and horizontal distribution of Microcystis.

MATRIX BASED E/B SEPARATION APPLIED TO BICEP2 AND THE KECK ARRAY SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE cosmic background radiation; cosmology: observations; gravitational waves; inflation polarization ID MICROWAVE BACKGROUND POLARIZATION; POWER SPECTRUM; TEMPERATURE AB A linear polarization field on the sphere can be uniquely decomposed into an E-mode and a B-mode component. These two components are analytically defined in terms of spin-2 spherical harmonics. Maps that contain filtered modes on a partial sky can also be decomposed into E-mode and B-mode components. However, the lack of full sky information prevents orthogonally separating these components using spherical harmonics. In this paper, we present a technique for decomposing an incomplete map into E and B-mode components using E and B eigenmodes of the pixel covariance in the observed map. This method is found to orthogonally define E and B in the presence of both partial sky coverage and spatial filtering. This method has been applied to the BICEP2 and the Keck Array maps and results in reducing E to B leakage from Lambda CDME-modes to a level corresponding to a tensor-to-scalar ratio of r < 1 x 10(-4).

We show that there is a simple velocity profile that should be manifested in regions of large shear that have "lost memory" of their boundary conditions, and we use this self-similar velocity profile to construct the surface of last scattering, or the tau similar or equal to 1 surface, as viewed from any comoving point within the flow. We demonstrate that a simple treatment of scattering from this t. 1 surface exactly conserves photon number, and we derive the rate at which the radiation field is heated due to the shear present in the flow. The components of the comoving radiation energy-momentum tensor are calculated, and we show that they have relatively simple, approximate forms that interpolate between the viscous (small shear) and streaming (large shear) limits. We put our expression for the energy-momentum tensor in a covariant form that does not depend on the explicit velocity profile within the fluid and, therefore, represents a natural means for analyzing general, radiation-dominated, relativistic shear flows.

It is identified here that all historical OVs occurred during the convection-enhanced phase of the first northward-propagating intra-seasonal oscillation (FNISO). The individual contributions from the four large scale environmental fields associated with the intra-seasonal variations to the cyclone genesis are diagnosed with the aid of the genesis potential index. The significant moistening of mid-level atmosphere, which is embedded in the FNISO convection-enhanced phase, is shown to be the primary factor leading to the cyclone genesis. The water vapor budget analysis is further done to understand the governing process for the mid-level humidity increase. It is clearly seen that the vertical advection process, dominated by the anomalous vertical advection of the mean vertical water vapor gradient, plays the critical role. Hence the OVs are shown to be strongly modulated by FNISOs, both of which are important elements of the complex story of the BoB monsoon onset.

The PDO is uncorrelated with ENSO during the warm phase of 1979-1997, while the PDO is positively correlated with ENSO during the cold phase of 1998-2012. Further analyses show that the warm phase is associated with the reduced ENSO-typhoon activity relationship and more typhoons, whereas the cold phase is corresponded to the enhanced ENSO-typhoon activity relationship and fewer typhoons. These variations are mainly manifested by a significant difference of typhoon activity in the southeastern part of the western North Pacific. Moreover, the change of ENSO-typhoon relationship is largely due to changes in large-scale environmental conditions especially from low-level vorticity and vertical wind shear between the two phases, which are related to the changes in tropical Indo-Pacific sea surface temperature. The study implies that the phase of the PDO should be taken into account when ENSO is used as a predictor for predicting typhoon activity in the western North Pacific.

While most of the science data are telemetered to the ground using a store-and-then-dump schedule, some of the space weather data are broadcast continuously when the Probes are not sending down the science data (approximately 90% of the time). This space weather data set is captured by contributed ground stations around the world (presently Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute and the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Czech Republic), automatically sent to the ground facility at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, converted to scientific units, and published online in the form of digital data and plots-all within less than 15 minutes from the time that the data are accumulated onboard the Probes. The real-time Van Allen Probes space weather information is publicly accessible via the Van Allen Probes Gateway web interface.

TI Subpixel Characterization of HIRS Spectral Radiances Using Cloud Properties from AVHRR SO JOURNAL OF ATMOSPHERIC AND OCEANIC TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article ID INFRARED RADIATION SOUNDER; PATMOS-X; BRIGHTNESS TEMPERATURES; TOP-HEIGHT; ALGORITHM; CLIMATE; CHANNELS; ISCCP; MODIS; CALIBRATION AB This paper describes a cloud type radiance record derived from NOAA polar-orbiting weather satellites using cloud properties retrieved from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) and spectral brightness temperatures (Tb) observed by the High Resolution Infrared Radiation Sounder (HIRS). The authors seek to produce a seamless, global-scale, long-term record of cloud type and Tb statistics intended to better characterize clouds from seasonal to decadal time scales. Herein, the methodology is described in which the cloud type statistics retrieved from AVHRR are interpolated onto each HIRS footprint using two cloud classification methods. This approach is tested over the northeast tropical and subtropical Pacific Ocean region, which contains a wide variety of cloud types during a significant ENSO variation from 2008 to 2009. It is shown that the Tb histograms sorted by cloud type are realistic for all HIRS channels. The magnitude of Tb biases among spatially coincident satellite intersections over the northeast Pacific is a function of cloud type and wavelength. While the sign of the bias can change, the magnitudes are generally small for NOAA-18 and NOAA-19, and NOAA-19 and MetOp-A intersections. The authors further show that the differences between calculated standard deviations of cloud-typed Tb well exceed intersatellite calibration uncertainties. The authors argue that consideration of higher-order statistical moments determined from spectral infrared observations may serve as a useful long-term measure of small-scale spatial changes, in particular cloud types over the HIRS-AVHRR observing record.

TI Community-wide validation of geospace model local K-index predictions to support model transition to operations SO SPACE WEATHER-THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RESEARCH AND APPLICATIONS LA English DT Article ID SOLAR-WIND; SYSTEMS AB We present the latest result of a community-wide space weather model validation effort coordinated among the Community Coordinated Modeling Center (CCMC), NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC), model developers, and the broader science community. Validation of geospace models is a critical activity for both building confidence in the science results produced by the models and in assessing the suitability of the models for transition to operations. Indeed, a primary motivation of this work is supporting NOAA/SWPC's effort to select a model or models to be transitioned into operations. Our validation efforts focus on the ability of the models to reproduce a regional index of geomagnetic disturbance, the local K-index. Our analysis includes six events representing a range of geomagnetic activity conditions and six geomagnetic observatories representing midlatitude and high-latitude locations. Contingency tables, skill scores, and distribution metrics are used for the quantitative analysis of model performance. We consider model performance on an event-by-event basis, aggregated over events, at specific station locations, and separated into high-latitude and midlatitude domains. A summary of results is presented in this report, and an online tool for detailed analysis is available at the CCMC.

This ability imbues SEDs with potential applications in a wide array of areas from metrology (current and capacitance) to quantum information. Success in each application ultimately requires exceptional performance, uniformity, and stability from SEDs which is currently unavailable. In this review, we discuss a time instability of SEDs that occurs at low frequency (<< 1 Hz) called charge offset drift. We review experimental work which shows that charge offset drift is large in metal-based SEDs and absent in Si-SiO2-based devices. We discuss the experimental results in the context of glassy relaxation as well as prospects of SED device applications. C1 [Stewart, M. D., Jr.; Zimmerman, Neil M.] NIST, Gaithersburg, MD 20899 USA.

TI Quantitative analysis of the acoustic repertoire of southern right whales in New Zealand SO JOURNAL OF THE ACOUSTICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA LA English DT Article ID ATLANTIC RIGHT WHALES; SURFACE-ACTIVE GROUPS; EUBALAENA-GLACIALIS; RANDOM FORESTS; WINTERING GROUNDS; SOUND PRODUCTION; CONTACT CALLS; AMBIENT NOISE; CLASSIFICATION; VOCALIZATIONS AB Quantitatively describing the acoustic repertoire of a species is important for establishing effective passive acoustic monitoring programs and developing automated call detectors. This process is particularly important when the study site is remote and visual surveys are not cost effective. Little is known about the vocal behavior of southern right whales (Eubalaena australis) in New Zealand. The aim of this study was to describe and quantify their entire vocal repertoire on calving grounds in the sub-Antarctic Auckland Islands. Over three austral winters (2010-2012), 4349 calls were recorded, measured, and classified into 10 call types. The most frequently observed types were pulsive, upcall, and tonal low vocalizations. A long tonal low call (<= 15.5 s duration) and a very high call (peak frequency similar to 750 Hz) were described for the first time. Random Forest multivariate analysis of 28 measured variables was used to classify calls with a high degree of accuracy (82%). The most important variables for classification were maximum ceiling frequency, number of inflection points, duration, and the difference between the start and end frequency. This classification system proved to be a repeatable, fast, and objective method for categorising right whale calls and shows promise for other vocal taxa. (C) 2016 Acoustical Society of America.

TI ESTIMATING CONTACT RATES OF HAWAIIAN MONK SEALS (NEOMONACHUS SCHAUINSLANDI) USING SOCIAL NETWORK ANALYSIS SO JOURNAL OF WILDLIFE DISEASES LA English DT Article DE Association data; contact rates; Hawaiian monk seal; social network analysis ID MONACHUS-SCHAUINSLANDI; DISTEMPER VIRUS; PATHOGEN TRANSMISSION; DISEASE DYNAMICS; WILDLIFE; BEHAVIOR AB Understanding disease transmission dynamics, which are in part mediated by rates and patterns of social contact, is fundamental to predicting the likelihood, rate of spread, impacts, and mitigation of disease outbreaks in wildlife populations. Contact rates, which are important parameters required for epidemiologic models, are difficult to estimate. The endangered Hawaiian monk seal (Neomonachus schauinslandi) may be particularly vulnerable to morbillivirus outbreaks, due to its low abundance, lack of genetic diversity, and history of isolation from mammalian diseases. Morbillivirus epizootics have had devastating effects on other seal populations. We constructed social networks based on visual observations of individually identifiable monk seals associating onshore to estimate contact rates, assuming random mixing, and also to investigate contact patterns of different age and sex classes. Contact rates estimated from two island populations in 4 yr were remarkably similar, indicating any two individuals have about a one in 1,000 chance of making contact on any given day. Further, contact patterns within and among age and sex classes were statistically different from random. The methods we used could be broadly applied to empirically derive contact rates using association data. These rates are critical for epidemiologic modelling to simulate wildlife disease outbreaks and to inform science-based prevention and mitigation programs.

Both dyes exhibit large Stokes shifts and fluorescence decays equivalent to the instrument response function (IRF) standards employed in time-correlated single-photon counting. Due to their styryl and pyridinium moieties, DASPMIs have higher peak fluorescence intensity and shorter excited-state lifetimes than iodide ion-quenched fluorophores. The fluorescence lifetimes of o-DASPMI and p-DASPMI were measured to be 6.6 ps and 12.4 ps, respectively. The fluorescence transients of these DASPMIs were used as the IRFs for iterative reconvolution fitting of the time-resolved fluorescence decay profiles of Rhodamine B (RhB), sulforhodamine B (SRB), and the SRB-SRB2m RNA aptamer complex. The quality of the fits employing the DASPMI-derived IRFs are consistently equivalent to those employing IRFs obtained from light scattering. These results indicate that DASPMI-derived IRFs may be suited for a broad range of applications in time-resolved spectroscopy and fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM), especially in the visible emission range.

Non-invasive techniques such as visible microscopy, X-ray fluorescence, Raman, and reflectance spectroscopy are commonly used to determine the artist material present. Recently, nonlinear optical ultrafast pump-probe microscopy was shown to provide non-invasive, high resolution mapping of pigments in historic paintings to investigate paint stratigraphy. In this paper, we combine our pump-probe contrast with nonlinear fluorescence and second-harmonic generation contrasts exhibited by fibrous supports composed of natural bio-materials (cellulose, collagen, or lignin). Hence, our multi-modal nonlinear microscope is able to simultaneously investigate pigments in conjunction with their support in three dimensions with micrometer-scale spatial resolution. Here we examine the utility of nonlinear pump-probe microscopy by studying a series of mock-up samples, including indigo-dyed cotton cloth, ultramarine blue painted on various types of paper, and papers painted with mixtures and layers of the two pigments. In each case we find that we can combine pump-probe pigment contrast with nonlinear optical fiber contrast to obtain spatial information that is otherwise unavailable to the conservator.

TI Measurement of forced surface convection in directed energy deposition additive manufacturing SO PROCEEDINGS OF THE INSTITUTION OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS PART B-JOURNAL OF ENGINEERING MANUFACTURE LA English DT Article DE Additive manufacturing; finite element analysis; convection measurement; heat transfer; directed energy deposition ID DIRECT METAL-DEPOSITION; HEAT-TRANSFER; RESIDUAL-STRESS; IMPINGING JET; FLAT SURFACE; SIMULATION; FLOW; TEMPERATURE; DISTORTION; FIELDS AB The accurate modeling of thermal gradients and distortion generated by directed energy deposition additive manufacturing requires a thorough understanding of the underlying physical processes. One area that has the potential to significantly affect the accuracy of thermomechanical simulations is the complex forced convection created by the inert gas jets that are used to deliver metal powder to the melt pool and to shield the laser optics and the molten material. These jets act on part surfaces with higher temperatures than those in similar processes such as welding and consequently have a greater impact on the prevailing heat transfer mechanisms. A methodology is presented here which uses hot-film sensors and constant voltage anemometry to measure the forced convection generated during additive manufacturing processes. This methodology is then demonstrated by characterizing the convection generated by a Precitec((R)) YC50 deposition head under conditions commonly encountered in additive manufacturing. Surface roughness, nozzle configuration, and surface orientation are shown to have the greatest impact on the convection measurements, while the impact from the flow rate is negligible.

The main objective was to obtain data on prevalence/intensity of hookworms (Uncinaria lyonsi) in pups at that time of the year and to compare the results with data from previous studies conducted in December, January, and February. Fourteen dead pups were examined for adult hookworms in December 2014; all pups were infected (prevalence = 100%) with intensity from 6 to 140 (average 58.9 +/- 38.9 SD) nematodes per host. Six dead pups were examined in February 2015. Hookworms were present in the intestines of 2 pups (prevalence=33%); two adult female worms were found in each infected pup. From 1 to 23 (average 7.5) parasitic larvae (L-3) were found in the blubber of 4 pups. The findings in this study (2014-2015) verify, from earlier observation, that adult U. lyonsi are shed by pups by late February. The prevalence of parasitic L3 in blubber of pups in February has not been previously reported. Sand samples collected in February 2015 from 4 rookery sites were positive for free-living third-stage hookworm larvae, resulting from eggs passed in feces of CSL or northern fur seal pups inhabiting the same rookeries.

This model provides a foundation for a prototype of the TRANS4D software. TRANS4D is being developed to enable geospatial professionals and others to transform 3-D positional coordinates across time. The derived model reveals several macroscopic features of the 3-D velocity field, including the pervasive presence of the glacial isostatic adjustment associated with the past melting of the ice fields that formed more than 19,000years ago during the Last Glacial Maximum. In this study, the present-day 3-D velocity field associated with this melting (as estimated via the recently published ICE-6G_C (VM5a) model) was subtracted from this study's total 3-D velocity field to identify features of the residual velocity field. In particular, this study introduces the NA_ICE-6G reference frame in which residual horizontal velocities have magnitudes that are less than 2mm/yr everywhere east of longitude 104 degrees W and south of latitude 60 degrees N, except in southern Texas. Residual horizontal velocities of greater magnitude are found west and/or north of these two boundaries, and they are due mostly to interactions among tectonic plates with localized pockets due to other geophysical phenomena. Large residual vertical velocities, some with values exceeding 30mm/yr, are found in southeastern Alaska. The uplift occurring here is due to present-day melting of glaciers and ice fields formed during the Little Ice Age glacial advance that occurred between 1550A.D. and 1850A.D.

Hughes, Mimi TI Landfalling Atmospheric Rivers, the Sierra Barrier Jet, and Extreme Daily Precipitation in Northern California's Upper Sacramento River Watershed SO JOURNAL OF HYDROMETEOROLOGY LA English DT Article ID OROGRAPHIC PRECIPITATION; NEVADA MOUNTAINS; WEST-COAST; SATELLITE; MOISTURE; IMPACTS; NETWORK; EVENTS; WINTER; FLOOD AB The upper Sacramento River watershed is vital to California's water supply and is susceptible to major floods. Orographic precipitation in this complex terrain involves both atmospheric rivers (ARs) and the Sierra barrier jet (SBJ). The south-southeasterly SBJ induces orographic precipitation along south-facing slopes in the Mt. Shasta-Trinity Alps, whereas landfalling ARs ascend up and over the statically stable SBJ and induce orographic precipitation along west-facing slopes in the northern Sierra Nevada. This paper explores the occurrence of extreme daily precipitation (EDP) in this region in association with landfalling ARs and the SBJ. The 50 wettest days (i.e., days with EDP) for water years (WYs) 2002-11 based on the average of daily precipitation from eight rain gauges known as the Northern Sierra 8-Station Index (NS8I) are compared to dates from an SSM/I satellite-based landfalling AR-detection method and dates with SBJ events identified from nearby wind profiler data. These 50 days with EDP accounted for 20% of all precipitation during the 10-WY period, or 5 days with EDP per year on average account for one-fifth of WY precipitation. In summary, 46 of 50 (92%) days with EDP are associated with landfalling ARs on either the day before or the day of precipitation, whereas 45 of 50 (90%) days with EDP are associated with SBJ conditions on the day of EDP. Forty-one of 50 (82%) days with EDP are associated with both a landfalling AR and an SBJ. The top 10 days with EDP were all associated with both a landfalling AR and an SBJ. C1 [Ralph, F.

To support the ongoing efforts to develop data assimilation (DA) capabilities for NLDAS, the results of Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) DA implemented in a manner consistent with NLDAS development are presented. Following previous work, GRACE terrestrial water storage (TWS) anomaly estimates are assimilated into the NASA Catchment land surface model using an ensemble smoother. In contrast to many earlier GRACE DA studies, a gridded GRACE TWS product is assimilated, spatially distributed GRACE error estimates are accounted for, and the impact that GRACE scaling factors have on assimilation is evaluated. Comparisons with quality-controlled in situ observations indicate that GRACE DA has a positive impact on the simulation of unconfined groundwater variability across the majority of the eastern United States and on the simulation of surface and root zone soil moisture across the country. Smaller improvements are seen in the simulation of snow depth, and the impact of GRACE DA on simulated river discharge and evapotranspiration is regionally variable. The use of GRACE scaling factors during assimilation improved DA results in the western United States but led to small degradations in the eastern United States. The study also found comparable performance between the use of gridded and basin-averaged GRACE observations in assimilation. Finally, the evaluations presented in the paper indicate that GRACE DA can be helpful in improving the representation of droughts.

The emergent optoelectronic properties and surface reactivity of carbon nanostructures are dictated by the microstructure of atomic dopants. Co doping of graphene with boron and nitrogen offers the possibility to further tune the electronic properties of graphene at the atomic level, potentially creating p- and n-type domains in a single carbon sheet, opening a gap between valence and conduction bands in the 2-D semimetal. Using a suite of high-resolution synchrotron-based X-ray techniques, scanning tunneling microscopy, and density functional theory based computation we visualize and characterize B-N dopant bond structures and their electronic effects at the atomic level in single-layer graphene grown on a copper substrate. We find there is a thermodynamic driving force for B and N atoms to cluster into BNC structures in graphene, rather than randomly distribute into isolated B and N graphitic dopants, although under the present growth conditions, kinetics limit segregation of large B N domains. We observe that the doping effect of these BNC structures, which open a small band gap in graphene, follows the B:N ratio (B > N, p-type; B < N, n-type; B=N, neutral). We attribute this to the comparable electron-withdrawing and-donating effects, respectively, of individual graphitic B and N dopants, although local electrostatics also play a role in the work function change.

Myctophum nitidulum (n = 299), Symbolophorus reversus (n = 199), and Gonichthys tenuiculus, (n = 82) were collected with dip nets from surface waters, and prey taxa were quantified from bongo net tows from August through November 2006. A classification tree produced splits with longitude and sea surface salinity (SSS), thereby separating 3 geographically and oceanographically distinct regions of the ETP (offshore, nearshore, and intermediate), where diet was similar among the 3 species. Myctophids consumed, primarily, ostracods offshore (76.4% mean percentage by number [MNi]), euphausiids nearshore (45.0%), and copepods (66.6%) in the intermediate region. The offshore region was characterized by a greater abundance of ostracods in the zooplankton community (17.5% by number) and within a deep mixed- layer depth (MLD) (mean 52.6 m, max 93.0 m). SSS was low in the nearshore region (< 32.9 psu) and the MLD was shallow. The intermediate region represented a transition zone between the oceanographic condition of the offshore and nearshore regions. Our results indicate that these 3 myctophid species share a similar regional diet that is strongly influenced by longitude, ostracod availability, SSS, and MLD.

Fish reared in the laboratory for 27 days were fed, fasted, or refed. Short-term growth rates (7 to 23 day intervals) were calculated on a wetweight basis. RNA/DNA values were highly correlated to growth rates, responded rapidly to changes in food availability and were the best able to consistently distinguish between the fasted and fed treatments. RNA/protein values were also well correlated with growth rate; however, within any one sampling day, feeding groups could not be differentiated with this index. DNA/protein increased during fasting but was neither strongly correlated with growth rate nor an accurate discriminator of nutritional state. IGF1 values were positively correlated with growth rates and responded rapidly with refeeding but changed little during the 3 weeks of fasting-a result that may have been influenced by sampling serially. We propose that RNA/DNA is a useful nonlethal technique for estimating recent growth rates and for identifying the nutritional condition of individual postsmolt Atlantic salmon exposed to short-term changes in food availability.

S. East Coast, but little is known about the life history of this crab. We sampled red deepsea crab from 4 sites and 3 depth strata (250-450 m, 450-700 m, and 700-850 m) in the Mid-Atlantic Bight in January 2011 and 2012 and in July 2013. Crab size decreased with depth, whereas shell age indices increased with depth. Crab occurred at temperatures from 4.6 degrees C to 10.6 degrees C (mean: 6.37 degrees C) and there was little difference between sexes. Size at 50% maturity (SM50) could not be determined with chela or abdomen allometry, but SM50 was estimated at 61.6 mm in carapace length for females on the basis of gonopore condition. Sex ratios (M: F) involving female crab above the SM50 were < 0.5, indicating that large males are depleted in comparison with female abundance. The proportion of ovigerous females was 33% in January 2012 and < 6% in July 2013, proportions that support the hypothesis of a biennial (or longer) reproductive cycle. Red deepsea crab probably recruit to deep water (> 1000 m), move upslope during adolescence, and become mature in the shallowest strata, before undergoing an ontogenetic migration back to intermediate depths.

Direct evidence from trawl studies SO FISHERY BULLETIN LA English DT Article ID FISHERIES STOCK ASSESSMENT; BOTTOM-TRAWL; SWIMMING ENDURANCE; ATLANTIC COD; FISH; EFFICIENCY; CAPTURE; MORHUA; GEAR; AVAILABILITY AB Survey selectivity can be viewed as a function of the availability of the stock to the sampling gear and the sampling efficiency of the gear. A dome-shaped survey selectivity function is one in which survey selectivity decreases with larger and older fish. Such a function is estimated for eastern Bering Sea (EBS) Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) in the NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service stock assessment model, which would be appropriate if large (>= 55 cm in fork length) Pacific cod avoid capture by the EBS survey bottom trawl. To test this assumption, a field study was conducted to determine whether large Pacific cod escape capture by either outswimming the survey trawl or by swimming above the trawl. Our results show that large Pacific cod do not outswim the trawl because catches did not increase when we increased towing speed. Additionally, large Pacific cod do not routinely swim above the trawl because analysis of acoustic backscatter collected concurrently with trawl hauls indicated that only 4% of the acoustic backscatter attributed to Pacific cod occurred at heights above the headrope. We found no evidence that survey-gear efficiency decreased with increasing fish length either because large fish outswam the trawl or because they tend to occur further from the bottom. Therefore the results of our experiment do not support the use of a dome-shaped survey selectivity function in the EBS Pacific cod assessment model.

End-to-end models are complex and typically simulate full ecosystems from oceanography to foodwebs and fisheries, operate on a spatial framework, and link to physical oceanographic models. Most end-to-end approaches allow multiple ways to implement human behaviours involving fishery catch, fleet movement, or other impacts such as nutrient loading or climate change effects. Though end-to-end ecosystem models were designed specifically for marine management, their novelty makes them unfamiliar to most decision makers. Before such models can be applied within the context of marine management decisions, additional levels of vetting will be required, and a dialogue with decision makers must be initiated. Here we summarize a review of an Atlantis end-to-end model, which involved a multi-day, expert review panel with local and international experts, convened to challenge models and data used in the management context. We propose nine credibility and quality control standards for end-to-end models intended to inform management, and suggest two best practice guidelines for any end-to-end modelling application. We offer our perspectives (as recent test subjects or "guinea pigs") on how a review could be motivated and structured and on the evaluation criteria that should be used, in the most specific terms possible.

Comparing cluster analysis methods, the correlation measure of dissimilarity in combination with average agglomerative linkage was the most efficient method for determining species relationships using simulated random species as a comparison tool. Cluster analysis revealed distinct species stratifications and in combination with multiscale bootstrapping generated probabilities indicating the strength of stratifications in the fishery. A more parsimonious approach with probabilistic models was also developed to quantify pairwise species co-occurrence as random, positive, or negative based on the observed vs. expected fishing sets with co-occurrence. For the most common species captured, the probabilistic models predicted positive or negative co-occurrence between 84.2% of the pairwise combinations examined. These methods provide fishery managers tools for determining multispecies quota allocations and offer insights into other by catch species of interest.

TI Evaluating the benefits and risks of species-transformation provisions in multispecies IFQ fisheries with joint production SO ICES JOURNAL OF MARINE SCIENCE LA English DT Article DE bioeconomic model; catch-quota balancing; fisheries management; individual fishing quotas; joint production; metier; short-term profit ID INDIVIDUAL TRANSFERABLE QUOTAS; MIXED FISHERIES; MANAGEMENT; BEHAVIOR; FLEET; DIVERSIFICATION; ICELAND; MODELS; CHOICE; ITQS AB Species-transformation provisions allow fishers to convert quota of one species to that of another species at prescribed conversion rates. These provisions, along with other catch-quota balancing mechanisms, are meant to aid fishers in matching available quota to actual catch so that incentives to discard are reduced. In this paper, we use a bioeconomic model to examine how species-transformation provisions affect sustainability and profitability of a multispecies fishery. We base parameterization of the model loosely on management of the Icelandic demersal fishery, which currently employs one of the broadest implementations of species transformations. To represent fisher behaviour in each year, effort is allocated among two or three metiers, such that total profit for that year is maximized. Each metier represents a combination of three species' catchability rates that define which species are targeted by each metier and how independent a species' catch rate is from that of other species. Assumptions regarding the degree to which fishers can target specific species by shifting effort between metiers, as well as how relative profitability among metiers varies, are paramount to understanding more generally how fishing regulations such as species transformations can be expected to change fishing patterns. This constraint depends not only on how strongly associated species catches are within a metier but also on relative species abundance and what alternate metiers are available.

TI The influence of seasonal migrations on fishery selectivity SO ICES JOURNAL OF MARINE SCIENCE LA English DT Article DE age-varying fish movement; areas-as-fleet; fishery selectivity; one-and two-way migration; stock assessment ID ATLANTIC MENHADEN; POPULATION-STRUCTURE; BREVOORTIA-TYRANNUS; STOCK ASSESSMENT; TAG RETURNS; MANAGEMENT; MODEL; CURVES AB Based on previous work, dome-shaped fishery selectivity patterns are expected in place of asymptotic patterns when one-way fish movements among areas are considered. It is less clear if this occurs when the "round-trip" seasonal movements are considered. A simulation of a long-distance migrating fish stock (Atlantic menhaden) was used to study the influence of life history and fishery processes on selectivity, under an "areas as fleet" stock assessment context. When age-constant two-way migration was assumed to occur at a low rate, a domed selectivity pattern in the area experiencing the highest fishing mortality was produced, consistent with previous work. However, as the two-way migration rate increased, the domed selectivity pattern diminished and eventually disappeared. When age-varying migration was introduced, with a higher movement probability for older fish, domed selectivity prevailed in the source (i.e. spawning) area. If movement away from the spawning area occurs at younger ages than are selected by the fishing gear, the extent of the dome in this area is reduced. When movement away from the spawning area occurs at ages that are already available to the fishing gear, the dome in the spawning area is exaggerated. The area in which domed selectivity occurred was primarily determined by whether the probability of movement increased or decreased with age. In contrast to previous work that considered one-way or diffusive movement, the temporal or spatial distribution of recruitment and overall fishing mortality did not have a significant influence on selectivity. Building simulations that reflect the life history of the stock can guide assessment efforts by placing priors and constraints on model fits to selectivity patterns and be used to explore trade-offs between model complexity and the ability to produce reasonable management advice. Their development is encouraged as a standard feature in the assessment of migratory fish stocks. C1 [O'Boyle, Robert] Beta Sci Consulting Inc, 1042 Shore Dr, Bedford, NS B4A 2E5, Canada.

Patches defined by persistent seabed features are the basic units of analysis. Persistent oceanographic features provide context while dynamic features are usually ignored. Should seascape ecology rest on terrestrial paradigms? I use Reimann's rules of analysis to identify differences between seascapes and landscapes. Reimann's method uses hypotheses about system function to guide the development of models of system components based upon fundamental "laws". The method forced me to avoid using terrestrial analogies in understanding of organism-habitat relationships. The fundamental laws applying to all organisms were the conservative metabolic requirements underlying individual performance and population growth. Physical properties of the environment; specifically those dictating strategies available to organisms meeting metabolic requirements, were the "laws" applying to the external environment. Organisms living in the ocean's liquid meet most metabolic requirements using strong habitat selection for properties of the liquid that are controlled by "fast", often episodic, atmospheric and tidal forces. Seascapes are there for primarily driven by dynamic hydrography including mixing processes. In contrast, most terrestrial organisms are decoupled by gravity and physiological regulation from an atmospheric fluid that is metabolically more challenging. They show strong habitat selection for many essential metabolic materials concentrated on the land surface where slower biogeochemical processes including soil development drive ecological dynamics. Living in a liquid is different from living in a gas and resource use management in the oceans needs to be tuned to seascapes dynamics that is driven primarily by hydrodynamics and secondarily by seabed processes. Advances in ocean observing and data assimilative circulation models now permit the rapid development of applied seascape ecology. This development is essential now that changes in global climate are being rapidly translated into changes in the dynamics of the ocean hydrosphere that structures and controls ecological dynamics within seascapes.

This research focused on two commercially-and ecologically-important flatfish species in the eastern Bering Sea (EBS), Greenland halibut (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides) and Pacific halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis), which may be especially sensitive to climate-induced shifts in habitat due to strong seasonally and ontogenetically variable distributions. We analysed data from fishery-dependent and fishery-independent sources to determine how environmental variability influenced habitat use, thus gaining a uniquely comprehensive range of seasonal and geographic coverage of each species' distribution. Greenland and Pacific halibut exhibited strong and contrasting responses to changes in temperature on the shelf, with catches decreasing and increasing, respectively, beyond 1 degrees C. The effect of temperature was not as prominent along the slope, suggesting that slope habitats may provide some insulation from shelf-associated environmental variability, particularly for Greenland halibut. With warming, Greenland halibut exhibited more of a bathymetric shift in distribution, while the shift was more latitudinal for Pacific halibut. Our results suggest that habitat partitioning may, in part, explain differences in Greenland and Pacific halibut distributions. This research adds to our understanding of how the distributions of two fish species at opposite extremes of their ranges in the EBS - Greenland halibut at the southernmost edge and Pacific halibut at the northernmost edge - may shift in relation to a changing ocean environment.

Previous modelling studies indicate that transport alone does not account for the disparate juvenile distributions in warm and cold years, but that spawning locations are important. Our objective was to determine the potential connectivity of EBS pollock spawning areas with juvenile nursery areas between warm and cold years from an 18-year hindcast (1995-2012). We calculated the connectivity between larval sources and juvenile positions that were produced by a coupled biological-physical individual-based model that simulated transport, growth, and vertical behavior of pollock from the egg until the juvenile stage. Three connectivity patterns were seen in most simulations: along-isobaths to the northwest, self-retention, and transport around the Pribilof Islands. The major differences in connectivity between warm and cold years, more northwards in warm years and more off-shelf in cold years, mimicked wind-driven flow characteristics of those years that were related to winter mean zonal position of the Aleutian Low. Connectivity relationships were more sensitive to spatial alterations in the spawning areas in cold years, while they were more responsive to spawn timing shifts in warm years. The strongest connectivity to advantageous juvenile habitats originated in the well-known spawning areas, but also in a less well-studied region on the Outer Shelf. This northern Outer Shelf region emerged as a very large sink of pollock reaching the juvenile transition from all spawning sources, suggesting more thorough sampling across multiple trophic levels of this potentially important juvenile pollock nursery is needed.

We explore patterns of spatial overlap between these species to address coexistence and infer possible competition from spatial patterns in the western Mediterranean Sea. A spatially explicit modelling approach revealed that spatial overlap mainly responded to the distribution of shared resources, where coexistence is allowed by different ecological processes. Catshark (k-strategy) was highly abundant and widely distributed. However, the fluctuating population dynamics of octopus (r-strategy) explained the variations in spatial patterns of overlap. Spatial structuring across the study area was observed both in population distributions and in species interactions (coexistence or exclusion). Areas with high resources in terms of specific prey items (Catalan Sea) or alternative supplies, such as niche opportunities and ecosystem functions defined by community diversity (Balearic Islands), favoured species coexistence. Sea surface temperature showed opposite effects on overlap in northern and southern regions of the study area, which were not related to differences in species sensitivity. We suggest a surface trophic link, where different phytoplankton communities at each region might have opposite responses to temperature. This triggers contrasting mechanisms of food transfer to deeper benthic communities that subsequently facilitates species overlap. Characterizing how benthic and pelagic seascape properties shape species interactions across space and time is pivotal to properly address community spatial dynamics and move towards ecosystem-based management for sustainable fisheries and conservation planning.

These incidental catches are highly variable in frequency and magnitude, and the environmental conditions associated with these catches are poorly understood. We used generalized additive models (GAMs) to describe habitat associations of Alewife, Blueback Herring, Atlantic Herring, and Atlantic Mackerel. Bottom temperature, bottom depth, bottom salinity, solar azimuth and elevation, and region of the Northeast U.S. continental shelf were all significant in the habitat models; GAMs explained 25.2, 16.9, 18.9, and 20.6% of the deviance observed for the presence/absence of Alewife, Blueback Herring, Atlantic Herring, and Atlantic Mackerel. A subset of the data was omitted from the model and the probability of presence was compared with observations; 66-77% of observations were correctly predicted. The individual probabilities of presence were used to quantify and evaluate the accuracy of modelled overlap of Alewife and Blueback Herring with Atlantic Herring (68-72% correct predictions) and Alewife and Blueback Herring with Atlantic Mackerel (57-69% correct predictions). Our findings indicate that environmental gradients influence the distributions and overlap of Alewife, Blueback Herring, Atlantic Herring, and Atlantic Mackerel, and with further testing and refinement these models could be developed into a tool to aid industry in reducing incidental catches of river herring.

The effects of magneto-ionic motion have been prominently featured in the modification of interface characteristics. Here, we demonstrate magnetoelectric coupling moderated by voltage-driven oxygen migration beyond the interface in relatively thick AlOx/GdOx/Co(15 nm) films. Oxygen migration and Co magnetization are quantitatively mapped with polarized neutron reflectometry under electro-thermal conditioning. The depth-resolved profiles uniquely identify interfacial and bulk behaviours and a semi-reversible control of the magnetization. Magnetometry measurements suggest changes in the microstructure which disrupt long-range ferromagnetic ordering, resulting in an additional magnetically soft phase. X-ray spectroscopy confirms changes in the Co oxidation state, but not in the Gd, suggesting that the GdOx transmits oxygen but does not source or sink it. These results together provide crucial insight into controlling magnetism via magneto-ionic motion, both at interfaces and throughout the bulk of the films.

TI Multiple scattering dynamics of fermions at an isolated p-wave resonance SO Nature Communications LA English DT Article ID ULTRACOLD ATOMS; ANDERSON LOCALIZATION; MATTER; GASES; LASER; BOSE AB The wavefunction for indistinguishable fermions is anti-symmetric under particle exchange, which directly leads to the Pauli exclusion principle, and hence underlies the structure of atoms and the properties of almost all materials. In the dynamics of collisions between two indistinguishable fermions, this requirement strictly prohibits scattering into 90 degrees angles. Here we experimentally investigate the collisions of ultracold clouds fermionic K-40 atoms by directly measuring scattering distributions. With increasing collision energy we identify the Wigner threshold for p-wave scattering with its tell-tale dumb-bell shape and no 90 degrees yield. Above this threshold, effects of multiple scattering become manifest as deviations from the underlying binary p-wave shape, adding particles either isotropically or axially. A shape resonance for K-40 facilitates the separate observation of these two processes. The isotropically enhanced multiple scattering mode is a generic p-wave threshold phenomenon, whereas the axially enhanced mode should occur in any colliding particle system with an elastic scattering resonance.

TI A century of Chinook salmon consumption by marine mammal predators in the Northeast Pacific Ocean SO ECOLOGICAL INFORMATICS LA English DT Article DE Chinook salmon; Oncorhynchus tshawytscha; Marine mammals; Diets; Pinnipeds; Killer whale ID WHALES ORCINUS-ORCA; ISOTOPE MIXING MODELS; KILLER WHALES; STABLE-ISOTOPE; HARBOR SEAL; BRITISH-COLUMBIA; DIET COMPOSITION; STOMACH CONTENTS; PHOCA-VITULINA; FATTY-ACID AB As many marine mammal populations have increased following bans on their harvest, there has been a growing need to understand potential impacts of these population changes on coastal marine ecosystems. Quantifying consumption of prey species, such as fish, is particularly important when those same prey are also targeted by commercial fisheries. Estimating the impact of marine mammal predators on prey fish depends upon knowledge of marine mammal diet composition; scientific advances over the last century have improved understanding of diets but have also led to inconsistent methods that challenge attempts at synthesis and comparison. Meta analysis techniques offer the opportunity to overcome such challenges, yet have not been widely applied to synthesize marine mammal diets over space and time. As a case study, we focus on synthesizing diet studies of Chinook (king) salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) by four species of marine mammal predators in the Northeast Pacific Ocean: Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus), California sea lions (Zalophus californianus), harbor seals (Phoca vitulina), and killer whales (Orcinus orca). We also highlight several simple meta-analyses for which these types of diet databases may be employed. Our assembled database consists of >330 records, spanning more than 100 years. Results indicate that the frequency of occurrence of Chinook salmon in killer whale studies is high (63%) relative to pinniped studies (<10%). They also suggest a strong increasing ability to discriminate Chinook salmon from other salmonids, which we attribute to switches in diet studies from lethal or observational sampling toward molecular methods (DNA, fatty acids). Our database and analysis code are published as supplementary material, which we hope will be useful for other researchers and will inspire more of these syntheses. Published by Elsevier B.V.

However, the effects of the underlayer on the formation of the CoFeB perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) are still not well understood. Here, we report the results of our systematic use of a wide range of elements (Ti, V, Cr, Zr, Nb, Mo, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag, Hf, Ta, W, Re, Os, Ir, Pt, and Au) encompassed by columns IVA, VA, VIA, VIIA, and VIIIA of the periodic table as the underlayer in an underlayer\Co20Fe60B20\MgO stack. Our goals were to survey more elements that could conceivably create a PMA in CoFeB and thereby to explore the mechanisms enabling these underlayers to enhance or create the PMA. We found that underlayer elements having an outer shell of both 4d electrons (Zr, Nb Mo, and Pd) and 5d electrons (Hf, Ta, W, Re, Ir, and Pt) resulted in the development of a PMA in the MgO-capped Co20Fe60B20. Hybridization between the 3d electrons of the Fe or Co (in the Co20Fe60B20) at the interface with the 4d or 5d electrons of the underlayer is thought to be the cause of the PMA development.

Silver nanoplates were chosen due to the flexibility of tuning their plasmon frequencies. The polymer coating preserves their physical and optical properties and confers other advantages such as controlled contrast agent delivery. Finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulations model the interaction of light with the nanoplates in different orientations in the cluster. Hyperspectral dark field microscopy (HYDFM) observes the scattering spectra of the PESNs. An unsupervised sequential maximum angle convex cone (SMACC) image analysis resolves spectral endmembers corresponding to different stacking orientations of the nanoplates. The orientation-dependent endmembers qualitatively agree with the FDTD results. For contrast enhancement, the uptake and spatial distribution of PESNs are demonstrated by an HYDFM study of single melanoma cells to result in an enhanced contrast of up to 400%. A supervised spatial mapping of the endmembers obtained by the unsupervised SMACC algorithm reveals spatial distributions of PESNs with various clustering orientations of encapsulated nanoplates. Our study demonstrates tunability in plasmonics properties in clustered metal nanoparticles and its utility for the development of scatter-based imaging contrast agents for a broad range of applications, including studies of single cells and other biomedical systems.

The determination of accurate mixture interaction parameters depends on reliably collected experimental data. In this work, we have carried out an experimental campaign to measure the bubble point pressures of mixtures of n-propane and n-decane, a mixture that has been thus far poorly studied with only four existing data sets. The experimental measurements of bubble-point states span a composition range (in n-propane mole fraction) from 0.148 to 0.731, and the bubble-point pressures are measured in the temperature range from 270 to 370 K. These data, in conjunction with data from a previous publication on mixtures of n-butane + n-octane and n-butane + n-nonane, are used to determine binary interaction parameters. The newly obtained binary interaction parameters for the mixture of n-propane and n-decane represent the experimental bubble-point pressures given here to within 8% (coverage factor, k=2), as opposed to previous deviations up to 19%.

In this article, an SPR biosensor system deployed from an oceanographic vessel was used to measure dissolved domoic acid (DA), a common and harmful phycotoxin produced by certain microalgae species belonging to the genus Pseudo-nitzschia. During the biosensor deployment, concentrations of Pseudo-nitzschia cells were very low over the study area and measured DA concentrations were below detection. However, the in situ operational detection limit of the system was established using calibrated seawater solutions spiked with DA. The system could detect the toxin at concentrations as low as 0.1 ng mL(-1) and presented a linear dynamic range from 0.1 ng mL(-1) to 2.0 ng mL(-1). This sensor showed promise for in situ detection of DA.

The properties of this debris ultimately determine the observable signatures of tidal disruption events (TDEs). Here we derive a simple, self-similar solution for the velocity profile of the debris streams produced from TDEs, and show that this solution agrees extremely well with numerical results. Using this self-similar solution, we calculate an analytic, approximate expression for the radial density profile of the stream. We show that there is a critical adiabatic index that varies as a function of position along the stream above (below) which the stream is unstable (stable) to gravitational fragmentation. We also calculate the impact of heating and cooling on this stability criterion.

Krishna TI Potential Gaps in the Satellite Observing System Coverage: Assessment of Impact on NOAA's Numerical Weather Prediction Overall Skills SO MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW LA English DT Article ID DATA ASSIMILATION SYSTEM; RADIANCES; EMISSIVITY AB The current constellation of environmental satellites is at risk of degrading due to several factors. This includes the following: 1) loss of secondary polar-orbiting satellites due to reaching their nominal lifetimes, 2) decrease in the density of extratropical radio-occultation (RO) observations due to a likely delayed launch of the Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere and Climate-2 (COSMIC-2) high inclination orbit constellation, and 3) the risk of losing afternoon polar-orbiting satellite coverage due to potential launch delays in the Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) programs. In this study, the impacts from these scenarios on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Global Forecast System skill are quantified. Performances for several metrics are assessed, but to encapsulate the results the authors introduce an overall forecast score combining metrics for all parameters, atmospheric levels, and forecast lead times. The first result suggests that removing secondary satellites results in significant degradation of the forecast. This is unexpected since it is generally assumed that secondary sensors contribute to system's robustness but not necessarily to forecast performance. Second, losing the afternoon orbit on top of losing secondary satellites further degrades forecast performances by a significant margin. Finally, losing extratropical RO observations on top of losing secondary satellites also negatively impacts the forecast performances, but to a lesser degree. These results provide a benchmark that will allow for the assessment of the added value of projects being implemented at NOAA in support of mitigation strategies designed to alleviate the negative impacts associated with these data gaps, and additionally help NOAA to define requirements of the future global observing system architecture.

These imbalances can be exacerbated by covariance localization and inflation. One strategy to combat the imbalance in the analyses is the incremental analysis update (IAU), which uses the dynamic model to distribute the analyses increments over a time window. The IAU has been widely used in atmospheric and oceanic applications. However, the analysis increment that is gradually introduced during a model integration is often computed once and assumed to be constant for an assimilation window, which can be seen as a three-dimensional IAU (3DIAU). Thus, the propagation of the analysis increment in the assimilation window is neglected, yet this propagation may be important, especially for moving weather systems. To take into account the propagation of the analysis increment during an assimilation window, a four-dimensional IAU (4DIAU) used with the EnKF is presented. It constructs time-varying analysis increments by applying all observations in an assimilation window to state variables at different times during the assimilation window. It then gradually applies these time-varying analysis increments through the assimilation window. Results from a dry two-layer primitive equation model and the NCEP GFS show that EnKF with 4DIAU (EnKF-4DIAU) and 3DIAU (EnKF-3DIAU) reduce imbalances in the analysis compared to EnKF without initialization (EnKF-RAW). EnKF-4DIAU retains the time-varying information in the analysis increments better than EnKF-3DIAU, and produces better analysis and forecast than either EnKF-RAW or EnKF-3DIAU.

Whitaker, Jeffrey S. TI Observation-Dependent Posterior Inflation for the Ensemble Kalman Filter SO MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW LA English DT Article ID ADAPTIVE COVARIANCE INFLATION; DATA ASSIMILATION; ERRORS AB Ensemble-based Kalman filter (EBKF) algorithms are known to produce posterior ensembles whose variance is incorrect for a variety of reasons (e.g., nonlinearity and sampling error). It is shown here that the presence of sampling error implies that the true posterior error variance is a function of the latest observation, as opposed to the standard EBKF, whose posterior variance is independent of observations. In addition, it is shown that the traditional ensemble validation tool known as the "binned spread-skill'' diagram does not correctly identify this issue in the ensemble generation step of the EBKF, leading to an overly optimistic impression of the relationship between posterior variance and squared error. An updated ensemble validation tool is described that reveals the incorrect relationship between mean squared error (MSE) and ensemble variance, and gives an unbiased evaluation of the posterior variances from EBKF algorithms. Last, a new inflation method is derived that accounts for sampling error and correctly yields posterior error variances that depend on the latest observation. The new method has very little computational overhead, does not require access to the observations, and is simple to use in any serial or global EBKF.

Using data from a global surface network and atmospheric column observations we show that the steady decline in the ethane mole fraction that began in the 1970s(1-3) halted between 2005 and 2010 in most of the Northern Hemisphere and has since reversed. We calculate a yearly increase in ethane emissions in the Northern Hemisphere of 0.42 (+/- 0.19) Tg yr(-1) between mid-2009 and mid-2014. The largest increases in ethane and the shorter-lived propane are seen over the central and eastern USA, with a spatial distribution that suggests North American oil and natural gas development as the primary source of increasing emissions. By including other co-emitted oil and natural gas non-methane hydrocarbons, we estimate a Northern Hemisphere total non-methane hydrocarbon yearly emission increase of 1.2 (+/- 0.8) Tg yr(-1). Atmospheric chemical transport modelling suggests that these emissions could augment summertime mean surface ozone by several nanomoles per mole near oil and natural gas production regions. Methane/ethane oil and natural gas emission ratios could suggest a significant increase in associated methane emissions; however, this increase is inconsistent with observed leak rates in production regions and changes in methane's global isotopic ratio.

Anthropogenic radiative forcing is likely to have played a major role in these changes(4), but the relative influence of anthropogenic forcing and natural variability is not well established. The above changes have also occurred during a period in which the North Atlantic Oscillation has shown marked multidecadal variations(5). Here we investigate the role of the North Atlantic Oscillation in these rapid changes through its influence on the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation and ocean heat transport. We use climate models to showthat observed multidecadal variations of the North Atlantic Oscillation can induce multidecadal variations in the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation and poleward ocean heat transport in the Atlantic, extending to the Arctic. Our results suggest that these variations have contributed to the rapid loss of Arctic sea ice, Northern Hemisphere warming, and changing Atlantic tropical storm activity, especially in the late 1990s and early 2000s. These multidecadal variations are superimposed on long-term anthropogenic forcing trends that are the dominant factor in long-term Arctic sea ice loss and hemispheric warming.

Comparability is the need to demonstrate equivalence of product after a process change; a recent publication states that this 'may be difficult for cell-based medicinal products'. Therefore a well-managed change process is required which needs access to good science and regulatory advice and developers are encouraged to seek help early. The workshop shared current thinking and best practice and allowed the definition of key research questions. The intent of this report is to summarize the key issues and the consensus reached on each of these by the expert delegates.

TI Sexual Dimorphisms in the Bluespine Unicornfish, Naso unicornis (Acanthuridae): External Metrics for Movement Ecology and Life History SO COPEIA LA English DT Article ID MARINE RESERVE; MICRONESIA; PATTERNS AB External morphometrics were quantified and compared with body size for adults of an Oahu (Hawaii) population of the Bluespine Unicornfish (Naso unicornis). Specimens were obtained by monthly fishery-dependent collections during the period from April 2011 to July 2012. Three apparently size-related, sexually dimorphic traits were measured (cephalic horn length, to the nearest mm; several measures of peduncular keel/spine development, 0.1 mm; caudal fin filament length, mm) using dial calipers and related to fork length (FL, mm) for individuals of each sex. Histological slides of sub-adult and adult gonads were examined microscopically, and sexual identity and gonadal development and maturation were scored using standard criteria. Each of the metrics examined was sexually dimorphic and positively related to FL using simple linear regression. Logistic regression was used to evaluate the relative ability of each metric, or some combination thereof, to predict the sex of an individual fish. Although combinations of two or all three metrics accurately predicted sex, a single metric (peduncle width across the posterior keel) provided the most efficient and accurate (80% [75-84%, 95% CI] successful) predictor of an individual's sexual identity. Thus a single measure can be used to sex fish in the field. The implications of this finding relative to studies of the movement ecology and life history of this ecologically and economically important species are discussed.

Individual variation in growth can arise from a variety of processes; for example, individuals within a population vary in their intrinsic metabolic rates and behavioral traits, which may influence their foraging dynamics and access to resources. However, when adopting a growth model, we face trade-offs between model complexity, biological interpretability of parameters, and goodness of fit. We explore how different formulations of the von Bertalanffy growth function (vBGF) with individual random effects and environmental predictors affect these trade-offs. In the vBGF, the growth of an organism results from a dynamic balance between anabolic and catabolic processes. We start from a formulation of the vBGF that models the anabolic coefficient (q) as a function of the catabolic coefficient (k), a coefficient related to the properties of the environment (y) and a parameter that determines the relative importance of behavior and environment in determining growth (w). We treat the vBGF parameters as a function of individual random effects and environmental variables. We use simulations to show how different functional forms and individual or group variability in the growth function's parameters provide a very flexible description of growth trajectories. We then consider a case study of two fish populations of Salina marrnoratus and Salnto trutta to test the goodness of fit and predictive power of the models, along with the biological interpretability of vBGF's parameters when using different model formulations. The best models, according to AIC, included individual variability in both k and 7 and cohort as predictor of growth trajectories, and are consistent with the hypothesis that habitat selection is more important than behavioral and metabolic traits in determining lifetime growth trajectories of the two fish species. Model predictions of individual growth trajectories were largely more accurate than predictions based on mean size-at-age of fish. Our method shares information across individuals, and thus, for both fish populations investigated, allows using a single measurement early in the life of individual fish or cohort to obtain accurate predictions of lifetime individual or cohort size-at-age.

TI Hierarchical analysis of taxonomic variation in intraspecific competition across fish species SO ECOLOGY LA English DT Article DE density-dependence; hierarchical model; intraspecific competition; stock-recruitment; recruitment compensation; Shepherd stock-recruitment model; stock assessment; meta-analysis ID STOCK-RECRUITMENT RELATIONSHIPS; MAXIMUM REPRODUCTIVE RATE; EASTERN BERING-SEA; LIFE-HISTORY; POPULATION-DYNAMICS; DENSITY-DEPENDENCE; BODY-SIZE; BAYESIAN METAANALYSIS; CARRYING-CAPACITY; OCEAN CONDITIONS AB The nature and intensity of intraspecific competition can vary greatly among taxa, yet similarities in these interactions can lead to similar population dynamics among related organisms. Variation along the spectrum of intraspecific competition, with contest and scramble competition as endpoints, leads to vastly different responses to population density. Here we investigated the diversity of intraspecific competition among fish species, predicting that functional forms of density-dependent reproduction would be conserved in related taxa. Using a hierarchical model that links stock-recruitment parameters among populations, species, and orders, we found that the strength of overcompensation, and therefore the type of intraspecific competition, is tightly clustered within taxonomic groupings, as species within an order share similar degrees of compensation. Specifically, species within the orders Salmoniformes and Pleuronectiformes exhibited density dependence indicative of scramble competition (overcompensation) while the orders Clupeiformes, Gadiformes, Perciformes, and Scorpaeniformes exhibited dynamics consistent with contest competition (compensation). Maximum potential recruitment also varied among orders, but with less clustering across species. We also tested whether stock-recruitment parameters correlated with maximum body length among species, but found no strong relationship. Our results suggest that much of the variation in the form of density-dependent reproduction among fish species may be predicted taxonomically due to evolved life history traits and reproductive behaviors.

These models are frequently estimated using time series of abundance estimates that are inevitably subject to observation error and missing data. This issue can be addressed with a state-space modeling framework that jointly estimates the observed data model and the underlying stochastic population dynamics (SPD) model. In cases where abundance data are from multiple locations with a smaller spatial resolution (e.g., from mark-recapture and distance sampling studies), models are conventionally fitted to spatially pooled estimates of yearly abundances. Here, we demonstrate that a spatial version of SPD models can be directly estimated from short time series of spatially referenced distance sampling data in a unified hierarchical state-space modeling framework that also allows for spatial variance (covariance) in population growth. We also show that a full range of likelihood based inference, including estimability diagnostics and model-selection, is feasible in this class of models using a data cloning algorithm. We further show through simulation experiments that the hierarchical state--space framework introduced herein efficiently captures the underlying dynamical parameters and spatial abundance distribution. We apply our methodology by analyzing a time series of line-transect distance sampling data for fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus) off the U.S. west coast. Although there were only seven surveys conducted during the study time frame, 1991-2014, our analysis detected presence of strong density regulation and provided reliable estimates of fin whale densities. In summary, we show that the integrative framework developed herein allows ecologists to better infer key population characteristics such as presence of density regulation and spatial variability in a population's intrinsic growth potential.

Recurring ENSO events have a significant impact on climate and the ecosystems of the circum-Pacific region. In the marine realm, ENSO is known for altering temperature and nutrient patterns, affecting the pelagic food chain, and causing widespread bleaching of corals due to temperature stress. The potential impacts of ENSO on shallow benthic ecosystems as a whole, however, are poorly understood. Here, we compared biogenic sedimentary facies of ETP shallow-water carbonate systems in a strongly ENSO-influenced area (Galapagos Islands, Ecuador [GAL]) with similar systems in an area less strongly influenced by ENSO (Gulf of California, Mexico [GOC]). Carbonate assemblages in both study regions range from coral-algal-dominated (photozoan) to molluscan-dominated (heterozoan) assemblages. Linear statistical models, comparing the distribution of carbonates against prominent local oceanographic parameters, show that minimum chlorophyll-a and maximum sea-surface temperature (which are both strongly influenced by ENSO) are dominant drivers shaping carbonate sediment facies in the GAL. In contrast, GOC carbonates have a distinct mean chlorophyll-a signature that is the result of an upwelling-induced north-south nutrient gradient not significantly influenced by ENSO.

Since the 1950s, the Keeling curve has documented the atmospheric CO2 increase as well as seasonal variations, which also intrigued scientists to develop new methods for global CO2 measurements from satellites. One of the dedicated satellite missions is the CO2 measurement in the 1.6-mu m shortwave infrared spectra by the Greenhouse Gases Observing Satellite (GOSAT) Thermal and Near Infrared Sensor for Carbon Observations-Fourier Transform Spectrometer (TANSO-FTS) instrument. While this spectral region has unique advantages in detecting lower-trophosphere CO2, there are many challenges because it relies on accurate measurements of reflected solar radiance from Earth's surface. Therefore, the calibration of the TANSO-FTS CO2 has a direct impact on the CO2 retrievals and its long-term trends. Coincidently, the Suomi-NPP Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) 1.6-mu m band spectrally overlaps with the TANSO-FTS CO2 band, and both satellites are in orbit with periodical simultaneous nadir overpass measurements. This study performs an intercomparison of VIIRS and the TANSO-FTS CO2 band in an effort to evaluate and improve the radiometric consistency. Understanding the differences provides feedback on how well the GOSAT TANSO-FTS is performing over time, which is critical to ensure a well-calibrated, stable, and bias-free CO2 product.

The analysis reveals that the primary modes of NALLJ fluctuations are related to the strengthening of AMJ precipitation variability over the northern Great Plains and southeastern United States during the last 60 years. Examination of the epochal change in NALLJ variations shows a stronger connectivity to SST variability during 1980-2010 than in the 1950-79 period. In the context of the first three NALLJ variability modes it appears that the role of decadal SST variations (NALLJ mode 1) and the recent emergence of tropical Pacific connectivity (NALLJ modes 1 and 2) via SST-induced atmospheric heating and large-scale circulation changes may act to strengthen and spatially shift the NALLJ variability modes southward and/or eastward, intensifying regional precipitation variability in the recent epoch. Although notable NALLJ variability also exists in the earlier epoch, the upper-level height field is significantly lacking in meridional gradients, leading to weak upper-level zonal wind anomalies over the United States and diminished NALLJ variability. Conversely, the intensified and spatially shifted upper-level height anomaly in the recent epoch produces enhanced meridional height gradients in all three modes, strengthening NALLJ variability-highlighting that seemingly subtle shifts in hemispheric-scale atmospheric circulation changes can have important impacts on regional climate variability and change.

Here we report novel glycosylation sites within noncanonical consensus motifs, in the conformation N-XC, based on mass spectrometry analysis of partially deglycosylated glycopeptide targets. Alpha-l-acid glycoprotein (A1AG) and serotransferrin (Tf) were observed for the first time to be N-glycosylated on asparagine residues within a total of six unique noncanonical motifs. N-glycosylation was initially predicted in silico based on the evolutionary conservation of the N-X-C motif among related mammalian species and demonstrated experimentally in A1AG from porcine, canine, and feline sources and in human serotransferrin. High-resolution liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was employed to collect fragmentation data of predicted GlcNAcylated peptides and to assign modification sites within N-X-C motifs. A combination of targeted analytical techniques that includes complementary mass spectrometry platforms, enzymatic digestions, and partial-deglycosylation procedures was developed to confirm the novel observations. Additionally, we found that A1AG in porcine and canine sources is highly N-glycosylated at a noncanonical motif (N-Q-C) based on semiquantitative multiple reaction monitoring analysis-the first report of an N-X-C motif exhibiting substantial N-glycosylation. Although reports of N-X-C motif N-glycosylation are relatively uncommon in the literature, this work adds to a growing list of glycoproteins reported with glycosylation at various forms of noncanonical motifs.

Reports of the exciton decay time range from hundreds of femtoseconds to ten nanoseconds, while the valley depolarization time can exceed one nanosecond. At present, however, a consensus on the microscopic mechanisms governing exciton radiative and non-radiative recombination is lacking. The strong exciton oscillator strength resulting in up to similar to 20% absorption for a single monolayer points to ultrafast radiative recombination. However, the low quantum yield and large variance in the reported lifetimes suggest that non-radiative Auger-type processes obscure the intrinsic exciton radiative lifetime. In either case, the electron-hole exchange interaction plays an important role in the exciton spin and valley dynamics. In this paper, we review the experiments and theory that have led to these conclusions and comment on future experiments that could complement our current understanding.

Spectral diffusion can be quantified through the frequency-frequency correlation function (FFCF), which is often approximated using observables from a variety of experimental techniques. We present a direct measurement of the temperature-dependent FFCF for excitons in semiconductor quantum wells using two-dimensional coherent spectroscopy. This technique enables the FFCF to be quantified without making any assumptions of the FFCF dynamics. Our results show that the Gauss-Markov approximation, which assumes exponential decay dynamics of the FFCF, is only valid for sample temperatures above 50 K. We compare our results with those obtained by the ellipticity and center-line slope measurements.

TI A synthesis of genetic connectivity in deep-sea fauna and implications for marine reserve design SO MOLECULAR ECOLOGY LA English DT Review DE Deep-sea connectivity; genetic estimates of dispersal distance; isolation-by-distance slope; marine reserves ID PELAGIC LARVAL DURATION; WESTERN BOUNDARY CURRENT; NORTH-ATLANTIC OCEAN; POPULATION CONNECTIVITY; PROTECTED AREAS; LAGRANGIAN OBSERVATIONS; GEOCHEMICAL SIGNATURES; FISHERIES MANAGEMENT; PROPAGULE DISPERSAL; F-STATISTICS AB With anthropogenic impacts rapidly advancing into deeper waters, there is growing interest in establishing deep-sea marine protected areas (MPAs) or reserves. Reserve design depends on estimates of connectivity and scales of dispersal for the taxa of interest. Deep-sea taxa are hypothesized to disperse greater distances than shallow-water taxa, which implies that reserves would need to be larger in size and networks could be more widely spaced; however, this paradigm has not been tested. We compiled population genetic studies of deep-sea fauna and estimated dispersal distances for 51 studies using a method based on isolation-by-distance slopes. Estimates of dispersal distance ranged from 0.24 km to 2028 km with a geometric mean of 33.2 km and differed in relation to taxonomic and life-history factors as well as several study parameters. Dispersal distances were generally greater for fishes than invertebrates with the Mollusca being the least dispersive sampled phylum. Species that are pelagic as adults were more dispersive than those with sessile or sedentary lifestyles. Benthic species from soft-substrate habitats were generally less dispersive than species from hard substrate, demersal or pelagic habitats. As expected, species with pelagic and/or feeding (planktotrophic) larvae were more dispersive than other larval types. Many of these comparisons were confounded by taxonomic or other life-history differences (e.g. fishes being more dispersive than invertebrates) making any simple interpretation difficult. Our results provide the first rough estimate of the range of dispersal distances in the deep sea and allow comparisons to shallow-water assemblages. Overall, dispersal distances were greater for deeper taxa, although the differences were not large (0.3-0.6 orders of magnitude between means), and imbalanced sampling of shallow and deep taxa complicates any simple interpretation. Our analyses suggest the scales of dispersal and connectivity for reserve design in the deep sea might be comparable to or slightly larger than those in shallow water. Deep-sea reserve design will need to consider the enormous variety of taxa, life histories, hydrodynamics, spatial configuration of habitats and patterns of species distributions. The many caveats of our analyses provide a strong impetus for substantial future efforts to assess connectivity of deep-sea species from a variety of habitats, taxonomic groups and depth zones.

Oxygen and temperature decrease, often rapidly, from shallow to deeper depths, restricting the ability of species to use the vertical habitat. One physiological trait that determines the tolerance of organisms to low oxygen is the oxygen affinity of oxygen carrier proteins, hemoglobin and hemocyanin, in the blood. To quantify the range of oxygen affinities for marine organisms, we surveyed the literature for measurements of oxygen binding to blood at multiple temperatures to account for its temperature sensitivity. Oxygen affinity is mapped within the ocean environment using the depth at which oxygen pressure decreases to the point at which the blood is 50% oxygenated (P-50 depth) as organisms move from the surface to depth in the ocean water column. We find that vertical gradients in both temperature and oxygen impact the vertical position and areal extent of P-50 depths. Shifts in P-50 due to temperature cause physiological types with the same P-50 in the surface ocean to have different P-50 depths and physiological types with different P-50's in the surface ocean to have the same P-50 depth. The vertical distances between P-50 depths are spatially variable, which may determine the frequency of ecological interactions, such as competition and predation. In summary, P-50 depth, which represents a key physiological transition point between dexoxygenated and oxygenated blood, provides mechanistic insight into organism function within the water column of the global ocean.

When particles are sent individually through a pair of slits, a wave-like interference pattern develops, but no such interference is found when one observes which "path" the particles take. We present a model of interference, dephasing, and measurement-induced decoherence in a one-dimensional version of the double-slit experiment. Using this model, we demonstrate how the loss of interference in the system is correlated with the information gain by the measuring apparatus/observer. In doing so, we give a modern account of measurement in this paradigmatic example of quantum physics that is accessible to students taking quantum mechanics at the graduate or senior undergraduate levels.

Theoretical modeling and experimental measurements of the impact of instrument sensitivity drift are in agreement and indicate that drift can impact the measured size of spherical NPs by up to 25 %. Given this substantial bias in the measured size, a method was developed using an internal standard to correct for the impact of drift and was shown to accurately correct for a decrease in instrument sensitivity of up to 50 % for 30 and 60 nm gold nanoparticles.

This paper provides an updated estimate of the value of goods produced. It then reviews the literature on additive manufacturing costs and identifies those instances in the literature where this technology is cost-effective. The paper then goes on to propose an approach for examining and understanding the societal costs and benefits of this technology both from a monetary viewpoint and a resource consumption viewpoint. The final section discusses the trends in the adoption of additive manufacturing. Globally, there is an estimated $667 million in value added produced using additive manufacturing, which equates to 0.01 % of total global manufacturing value added. US value added is estimated as $241 million. Current research on additive manufacturing costs reveals that it is cost-effective for manufacturing small batches with continued centralized production; however, with increased automation distributed production may become cost-effective. Due to the complexities of measuring additive manufacturing costs and data limitations, current studies are limited in their scope. Many of the current studies examine the production of single parts and those that examine assemblies tend not to examine supply chain effects such as inventory and transportation costs along with decreased risk to supply disruption. The additive manufacturing system and the material costs constitute a significant portion of an additive manufactured product; however, these costs are declining over time. The current trends in costs and benefits have resulted in this technology representing 0.02 % of the relevant manufacturing industries in the USA; however, as the costs of additive manufacturing systems decrease, this technology may become widely adopted and change the supplier, manufacturer, and consumer interactions. An examination in the adoption of additive manufacturing reveals that for this technology to exceed $4.4 billion in 2020, $16.0 billion in 2025, and $196.8 billion in 2035, it would need to deviate from its current trends of adoption.

The kinetics of this phase transformation, while fast, can play a role during dynamic, high-temperature manufacturing processes, including high-speed machining, when the time scale of this transformation is on the order of the manufacturing process itself. In such a regime, the mechanical strength of carbon steel can become time dependent. The present work uses a rapidly heated, high-strain-rate mechanical test to study the effect of temperature and time on the amount of pearlite dissolved and on the resulting transient effect on dynamic strength of a low and a high carbon (eutectoid) steel. Measurements indicate that the transient effect occurs for heating times less than about 3 s. The 1075 steel loses about twice the strength compared to the 1018 steel (85 MPa to 45 MPa) owing to its higher initial pearlite volume fraction. Pearlite dissolution is confirmed by metallographic examination of tested samples. Despite the different starting pearlite fractions, the kinetics of dissolution are comparable for the two steels, owing to the similarity in their initial pearlite morphology.

The European Research Council has funded HOLMES, a new experiment for a direct measurement of neutrino mass that started in 2014. HOLMES will perform a precise measurement of the end point of the Electron Capture decay spectrum of Ho in order to extract information on neutrino mass with a sensitivity as low as 0.4 eV. HOLMES, in its final configuration, will deploy a 1000 pixel array of low-temperature microcalorimeters: each calorimeter consists of an absorber, where the Ho atoms will be implanted, coupled to a transition edge sensor thermometer. The read out for an array of 1000 cryogenic detectors is a crucial matter: for HOLMES, a special radio-frequency-based multiplexing system is being developed. In this contribution, we outline the performance and special features of the multiplexing system and readout methods chosen for HOLMES.

Aluminum doped with a low concentration of manganese can be deposited to a bulk film thickness for a more reliable superconducting critical temperature uniformity compared to thin bilayers. To build the TES, the AlMn alloy is deposited, over Nb wiring, to a specific thickness to set the TES normal resistance. The doping concentration of manganese coarsely defines the TES critical temperature, while a fine tuning is achieved by heating the deposited film to a specific temperature. The TES island is connected to the thermal bath via four silicon-nitride membranes, where their geometry defines the thermal conductance to the temperature of the bath. Lastly, the TES heat capacity is increased by addition of PdAu electrically connected to the AlMn film. Designs and performance characteristics of these AlMn TESs are presented for use in AdvACT.

BLAST-TNG is a balloon-borne submillimeter polarimeter designed to study magnetic fields in diffuse dust regions and molecular clouds. We present the design and performance of feedhorn-coupled, dual-polarization sensitive MKIDs fabricated from TiN/Ti multilayer films, which have been optimized for the 250 m band. Measurements show effective selection of linear polarization and good electrical isolation between the orthogonally crossed X and Y detectors within a single spatial pixel. The detector cross-polar coupling is 3 %. Passband measurements are presented, which demonstrate that the desired band-edges (1.0-1.4 THz) have been achieved. We find a near linear response to the optical load from a blackbody source, which has been observed in previous devices fabricated from TiN. Blackbody-coupled noise measurements demonstrate that the sensitivity of the detectors is limited by photon noise when the optical load is greater than 1 pW.

TI Algorithms for Identification of Nearly-Coincident Events in Calorimetric Sensors SO JOURNAL OF LOW TEMPERATURE PHYSICS LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 16th International Workshop on Low Temperature Particle Detection (LTD) CY JUL 20-24, 2015 CL Grenoble, FRANCE SP Air Liquide, Cryoconcept, CRYOGEN Ltd, Entropy, XIA DE Filter algorithms; High-rate processing; Microcalorimeter; Uncertainty ID ELECTRON NEUTRINO MASS; HO-163; DECAY AB For experiments with high arrival rates, reliable identification of nearly-coincident events can be crucial. For calorimetric measurements to directly measure the neutrino mass such as HOLMES, unidentified pulse pile-ups are expected to be a leading source of experimental error. Although Wiener filtering can be used to recognize pile-up, it suffers from errors due to pulse shape variation from detector nonlinearity, readout dependence on subsample arrival times, and stability issues from the ill-posed deconvolution problem of recovering Dirac delta-functions from smooth data. Due to these factors, we have developed a processing method that exploits singular value decomposition to (1) separate single-pulse records from piled-up records in training data and (2) construct a model of single-pulse records that accounts for varying pulse shape with amplitude, arrival time, and baseline level, suitable for detecting nearly-coincident events. We show that the resulting processing advances can reduce the required performance specifications of the detectors and readout system or, equivalently, enable larger sensor arrays and better constraints on the neutrino mass.

TDM is based on superconducting-quantum-interference-device (SQUID) current amplifiers. Multiple spectrometers based on gamma-ray and X-ray microcalorimeters have been operated with TDM readout, each at the scale of 200 sensors per spectrometer, as have several astronomical cameras with thousands of sub-mm or microwave bolometers. Here we present the details of two different versions of our TDM system designed to read out X-ray TESs. The first has been field-deployed in two 160-sensor (8 columns 20 rows) spectrometers and four 240-sensor (8 columns 30 rows) spectrometers. It has a three-SQUID-stage architecture, switches rows every 320 ns, and has total readout noise of 0.41 Hz. The second, which is presently under development, has a two-SQUID-stage architecture, switches rows every 160 ns, and has total readout noise of 0.19 Hz. Both quoted noise values are non-multiplexed and referred to the first-stage SQUID. In a demonstration of this new architecture, a multiplexed 1-column 32-row array of NIST TESs achieved average energy resolution of eV at 6 keV. C1 [Doriese, W. B.; Morgan, K. M.; Bennett, D.

TI Pile-Up Discrimination Algorithms for the HOLMES Experiment SO JOURNAL OF LOW TEMPERATURE PHYSICS LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 16th International Workshop on Low Temperature Particle Detection (LTD) CY JUL 20-24, 2015 CL Grenoble, FRANCE SP Air Liquide, Cryoconcept, CRYOGEN Ltd, Entropy, XIA DE Pile-up discrimination algorithms; TES detectors ID HO-163; MASS AB The HOLMES experiment is a new large-scale experiment for the electron neutrino mass determination by means of the electron capture decay of Ho. In such an experiment, random coincidence events are one of the main sources of background which impair the ability to identify the effect of a non-vanishing neutrino mass. In order to resolve these spurious events, detectors characterized by a fast response are needed as well as pile-up recognition algorithms. For that reason, we have developed a code for testing the discrimination efficiency of various algorithms in recognizing pile up events in dependence of the time separation between two pulses. The tests are performed on simulated realistic TES signals and noise. Indeed, the pulse profile is obtained by solving the two coupled differential equations which describe the response of the TES according to the Irwin-Hilton model. To these pulses, a noise waveform which takes into account all the noise sources regularly present in a real TES is added. The amplitude of the generated pulses is distributed as the Ho calorimetric spectrum. Furthermore, the rise time of these pulses has been chosen taking into account the constraints given by both the bandwidth of the microwave multiplexing read out with a flux ramp demodulation and the bandwidth of the ADC boards currently available for ROACH2. Among the different rejection techniques evaluated, the Wiener Filter technique, a digital filter to gain time resolution, has shown an excellent pile-up rejection efficiency. The obtained time resolution closely matches the baseline specifications of the HOLMES experiment. We report here a description of our simulation code and a comparison of the different rejection techniques.

Separate filters optimized for pulse amplitude and pulse arrival time (constructed in the usual way from the averaged signal and noise spectral densities) are applied to the entire pixel data stream. Pulses in the resulting filtered streams are then simultaneously fit as the sum of scaled and shifted copies of an isolated filtered pulse template. Analysis using calibration data from the University of Wisconsin/Goddard Space Flight Center X-ray quantum calorimeter sounding rocket payload demonstrates the ability of this technique to recover pulses separated by as little as the rise-time of the detectors without observable spectral broadening.

TI High-Density Superconducting Cables for Advanced ACTPol SO JOURNAL OF LOW TEMPERATURE PHYSICS LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 16th International Workshop on Low Temperature Particle Detection (LTD) CY JUL 20-24, 2015 CL Grenoble, FRANCE SP Air Liquide, Cryoconcept, CRYOGEN Ltd, Entropy, XIA DE Atacama Cosmology Telescope; ACTPol; Detector; Flex; Superconductor; Wire bonding ID TRANSITION-EDGE SENSORS AB Advanced ACTPol (AdvACT) is an upcoming Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) receiver upgrade, scheduled to deploy in 2016, that will allow measurement of the cosmic microwave background polarization and temperature to the highest precision yet with ACT. The AdvACT increase in sensitivity is partly provided by an increase in the number of transition-edge sensors (TESes) per array by up to a factor of two over the current ACTPol receiver detector arrays. The high-density AdvACT TES arrays require 70 m pitch superconducting flexible cables (flex) to connect the detector wafer to the first-stage readout electronics. Here, we present the flex fabrication process and test results. For the flex wiring layer, we use a 400-nm-thick sputtered aluminum film. In the center of the cable, the wiring is supported by a polyimide substrate, which smoothly transitions to a bare (uncoated with polyimide) silicon substrate at the ends of the cable for a robust wedge wire-bonding interface. Tests on the first batch of flex made for the first AdvACT array show that the flex will meet the requirements for AdvACT, with a superconducting critical current above 1 mA at 500 mK, resilience to mechanical and cryogenic stress, and a room temperature yield of 97.

TI Thermal Conductance Engineering for High-Speed TES Microcalorimeters SO JOURNAL OF LOW TEMPERATURE PHYSICS LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 16th International Workshop on Low Temperature Particle Detection (LTD) CY JUL 20-24, 2015 CL Grenoble, FRANCE SP Air Liquide, Cryoconcept, CRYOGEN Ltd, Entropy, XIA DE Thermal conductance; TES; Membrane ID TRANSITION-EDGE SENSORS AB Many current and future applications for superconducting transition-edge sensor (TES) microcalorimeters require significantly faster pulse response than is currently available. X-ray spectroscopy experiments at next-generation synchrotron light sources need to successfully capture very large fluxes of photons, while detectors at free-electron laser facilities need pulse response fast enough to match repetition rates of the source. Additionally, neutrino endpoint experiments such as HOLMES need enormous statistics, yet are extremely sensitive to pile-up effects that can distort spectra. These issues can be mitigated only by fast rising and falling edges. To address these needs, we have designed high-speed TES detectors with novel geometric enhancements to increase the thermal conductance of pixels suspended on silicon nitride membranes. This paper shows that the thermal conductivity can be precisely engineered to values spanning over an order of magnitude to achieve fast thermal relaxation times tailored to the relevant applications. Using these pixel prototypes, we demonstrate decay time constants faster than 100 s, while still maintaining spectral resolution of 3 eV FWHM at 1.5 keV. This paper also discusses the trade-offs inherent in reducing the pixel time constant, such as increased bias current leading to degradation in energy resolution, and potential modifications to improve performance.

The internal quantum degree of freedom associated with valley pseudospin indices can act as a useful information carrier, analogous to electronic charge or spin(1-4). Interest in valleytronics has been revived in recent years following the discovery of atomically thin materials such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides(5-7). However, the valley coherence time-a crucial quantity for valley pseudospin manipulation-is difficult to directly probe. In this work, we use two-dimensional coherent spectroscopy to resonantly generate and detect valley coherence of excitons (Coulomb-bound electron-hole pairs) in monolayer WSe2 (refs 8,9). The imposed valley coherence persists for approximately one hundred femtoseconds. We propose that the electron-hole exchange interaction provides an important decoherence mechanism in addition to exciton population recombination. This work provides critical insight into the requirements and strategies for optical manipulation of the valley pseudospin for future valleytronics applications.

TI Observation of strong radiation pressure forces from squeezed light on a mechanical oscillator SO NATURE PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID GRAVITATIONAL-WAVE DETECTOR; STANDARD QUANTUM LIMIT; SHOT-NOISE; INTERFEROMETER; AMPLIFICATION; SENSITIVITY AB In quantum-enhanced sensing, non-classical states are used to improve the sensitivity of a measurement(1). Squeezed light, in particular, has proved a useful resource in enhanced mechanical displacement sensing(2-8), although the fundamental limit to this enhancement due to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle(9-11) has not been encountered experimentally. Here we use a microwave cavity optomechanical system to observe the squeezing-dependent radiation pressure noise that necessarily accompanies any quantum enhancement of the measurement precision and ultimately limits the measurement noise performance. By increasing the measurement strength so that radiation pressure forces dominate the thermal motion of the mechanical oscillator, we exploit the optomechanical interaction to implement an efficient quantum nondemolition measurement of the squeezed light(12). Thus, our results show how the mechanical oscillator improves the measurement of non-classical light, just as non-classical light enhances the measurement of the motion.

The simplest example is three antiferromagnetically coupled Ising spins, pointing up or down, on the corners of an equilateral triangle: It is impossible to arrange the spins so that each pair is antiparallel. In more complex magnetic lattices, the frustrated state can arise from the combination of lattice geometry and the strength and sign of the interactions among the magnetic dipole moments. 1 (See the article by Roderich Moessner and Art Ramirez, PHYSICS TODAY, February 2006, page 24.) A wide variety of exotic and collective phenomena sometimes arises from the competing interactions. A prime example is spin liquids, materials in which the local atomic moments fluctuate down to the lowest accessible temperatures and never settle into a static ground-state configuration.

To determine the effects of physical habitat (river reach, fine sediment intrusion, scour), parentage (mating, source of gametes) on Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) egg-to-fry survival and developmental stage at emergence across a basin, we constructed 324 artificial redds in nine reaches over 4 years in the Yakima River Basin, Washington, USA. Mean egg-to-fry survival ranged from 49% to 69% annually from 2009 to 2012 brood years. Survival was significantly different among reaches in 2010, but not in 2009, 2011, or 2012, while mating was a significant factor in all years but 2010. In contrast, developmental stage differed significantly among reaches and matings in all 4 years. Percentage of fines, days-in-gravel, and median particle size explained only small (<10%) additional amount of variation in survival or developmental stages. Our results suggest that parentage and reach within a basin are major factors influencing egg-to-fry survival, but their relative influence varies annually, presumably depending on the magnitude of high flows and scour during incubation.

TI Percentile indices for assessing changes in heavy precipitation events SO CLIMATIC CHANGE LA English DT Article ID REGIONAL CLIMATE MODEL; EXTREME PRECIPITATION; ALPINE REGION; TEMPERATURE; SIMULATIONS; PROBABILITY; REGIMES; EUROPE; TRENDS; CYCLE AB Many climate studies assess trends and projections in heavy precipitation events using precipitation percentile (or quantile) indices. Here we investigate three different percentile indices that are commonly used. We demonstrate that these may produce very different results and thus require great care with interpretation. More specifically, consideration is given to two intensity-based indices and one frequency-based index, namely (a) all-day percentiles, (b) wet-day percentiles, and (c) frequency indices based on the exceedance of a percentile threshold. Wet-day percentiles are conditionally computed for the subset of wet events (with precipitation exceeding some threshold, e.g. 1 mm/d for daily precipitation). We present evidence that this commonly used methodology can lead to artifacts and misleading results if significant changes in the wet-day frequency are not accounted for. Percentile threshold indices measure the frequency of exceedance with respect to a percentile-based threshold. We show that these indices yield an assessment of changes in heavy precipitation events that is qualitatively consistent with all-day percentiles, but there are substantial differences in quantitative terms. We discuss the reasons for these effects, present a theoretical assessment, and provide a series of examples using global and regional climate models to quantify the effects in typical applications. Application to climate model output shows that these considerations are relevant to a wide range of typical climate-change applications. In particular, wet-day percentiles generally yield different results, and in most instances should not be used for the impact-oriented assessment of changes in heavy precipitation events.

For CF3Br flame inhibition, the un-stretched burning velocities, predicted using a recently updated kinetic model for CF3Br flame inhibition, were in excellent agreement with the experimental results over a range of fuel-air equivalence ratio and CF3Br loading. For C3H2F3Br flame inhibition, the un-stretched burning velocities predicted using a recently developed kinetic mechanism were in good agreement with the experimental results for most of the equivalence ratios tested; nonetheless, for very lean flames approaching the flammability limit, model predictions differed by up to 25%, even for uninhibited flames. The influence of inhibitor on the flame response to stretch and susceptibility to instabilities was examined through consideration of the measured burned gas Markstein lengths. Markstein lengths were very large, leading to large stretch effects on the flame stability after ignition, and flame wrinkling during explosion tests, greatly increasing the rate of pressure rise. The influence of stretch with regard to flame inhibitor effectiveness is discussed. (C) 2016 The Combustion Institute. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

In gaseous flame studies, they have been shown to be very effective gas-phase flame inhibitors; however, their performance varies with flame type. In particular, their effectiveness in co-flow diffusion flames is much lower than in other flames. To understand this behavior, co-flow diffusion flame experiments have been performed using dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP) added to the fuel stream. CO2 flame extinguishing tests show that phosphorus (via DMMP addition) is much more effective (similar to 4 times) than bromine (Br-2) at low concentrations. At higher concentrations (above similar to 5000 mu L/L), the efficiency ranking is reversed due to saturation of the DMMP inhibition effect, which is not observed in the case of Br-2 addition. The role of particle formation (via condensation of active phosphorus-containing species) in the loss of effectiveness of DMMP is investigated using Rayleigh scattering measurements. In order to understand the behavior of the flame stabilization region that is disrupted during flame extinguishment, premixed burning velocity simulations with detailed kinetics are performed for DMMP or Br-2 addition to the flames.

Observations were made in September 2011 at water depths of 65-75 m in the Pinnacle Reef trend area offshore from Mississippi and Alabama, Gulf of Mexico, using a digital macro camera deployed from an ROV to examine the coral populations for injury at two principal sites: Alabama Alps Reef (AAR) and Roughtongue Reef (RTR). Taxa observed to exhibit injury included gorgonian octocorals Hypnogorgia pendula, Bebtyce spp., Thesea nivea, and Swiftia exserta, the antipatharian Anti-pathes atlantica, and the sea whips Stichopathes sp., and Ellisella barbadensis. The most common type of injury was a biofilm with a clumped or flake-like appearance covering sea-fan branches. Extreme injuries were characterized by bare skeletons, broken and missing branches. Comparing the 2011 results to previous photo surveys of the same study sites between 1997 and 1999, we found significantly more occurrences of injury in 2011 among taxa with growth forms > 0.5 m. We hypothesize that Tropical Storm Bonnie facilitated and accelerated the mixing process of dispersant-treated hydrocarbons into the water column, resulting in harmful contact with coral colonies at mesophotic depths. Analysis of total polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (tPAH) concentrations in sediments at AAR and RTR found levels elevated above pre-discharge values, but orders of magnitude below toxicity thresholds established for fauna in estuarine sediments. The tPAH concentrations measured in octocoral and echinoderm tissue samples from AAR and RTR were detectable (mean values ranged from 51 to 345 ppb); however, bioeffect thresholds do not currently exist with which to evaluate the potential harm these levels may cause. Our findings indicate that coral injuries observed in 2011 may have resulted from an acute, isolated event rather than ongoing natural processes. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Although the dispersant formulations contain four classes of surfactants, current studies to date focus on the anionic surfactant, bis-(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (DOSS). Factors affecting the integrity of environmental and laboratory samples for Corexit analysis have not been systematically investigated. For this reason, a quantitative analytical method was developed for the detection of all four classes of surfactants, as well as the hydrolysis products of DOSS, the enantiomeric mixture of alpha- and beta-ethylhexyl sulfosuccinate (alpha-/beta-EHSS). The analytical method was then used to evaluate which practices for sample collection, storage, and analysis resulted in high quality data. Large volume, direct injection of seawater followed by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) minimized analytical artifacts, analysis time, and both chemical and solid waste. Concentrations of DOSS in the seawater samples ranged from 71 to 13,000 ng/L, while the nonionic surfactants including Span 80, Tween 80, Tween 85 were detected infrequently (26% of samples) at concentrations from 840 to 9100 ng/L. The enantiomers alpha-/beta-EHSS were detected in seawater, at concentrations from 200 to 1900 ng/L, and in both Corexit dispersant formulations, indicating alpha-/beta-EHSS were applied to the oil spill and may be not unambiguous indicator of DOSS degradation. Best practices are provided to ensure sample integrity and data quality for environmental monitoring studies and laboratory that require the detection and quantification of Corexit-based surfactants in seawater.

Infections were spread across most coastal counties of Sweden and Finland, but unusually, numerous infections were reported in subarctic regions; cases were reported as far north as 65 degrees N, approximate to 100 miles (160 km) from the Arctic Circle. Most infections were caused by non-O1/O139 V. cholerae (70 cases, corresponding to 77% of the total, all strains were negative for the cholera toxin gene). An extreme heat wave in northern Scandinavia during summer 2014 led to unprecedented high sea surface temperatures, which appear to have been responsible for the emergence of Vibrio bacteria at these latitudes. The emergence of vibriosis in high-latitude regions requires improved diagnostic detection and clinical awareness of these emerging pathogens. C1 [Baker-Austin, Craig; Taylor, Nick G.

Although these complex habitats are important, estuarine Hg bioaccumulation is not well understood. The longnose gar Lepisosteus osseus (L. 1758), an estuarine predator in the eastern United States, was selected to examine Hg processes due to its abundance, estuarine residence, and top predator status. This study examined variability in Hg concentrations within longnose gar muscle tissue spatially and temporally, the influence of biological factors, potential maternal transfer, and potential negative health effects on these fish. Smaller, immature fish had the highest Hg concentrations and were predominantly located in low salinity waters. Sex and diet were also important factors and Hg levels peaked in the spring. Although maternal transfer occurred in small amounts, the potential negative health effects to young gar remain unknown. Fish health as measured by fecundity and growth rate appeared to be relatively unaffected by Hg at concentrations in the present study (less than 1.3 ppm wet weight). The analysis of biotic and abiotic factors relative to tissue Hg concentrations in a single estuarine fish species provided valuable insight in Hg bioaccumulation, biomagnification, and elimination. Insights such as these can improve public health policy and environmental management decisions related to Hg pollution. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

SO FORENSIC SCIENCE INTERNATIONAL LA English DT Article DE LT-DNA; Replication; Value of information; Decision theory ID PROFILES; TOOL AB This study investigates the following two questions: (1) Should the DNA analyst concentrate the DNA extract into a single amplification or should he/she split it up to do two replicates? (2) Given the electropherogram obtained from a first analysis, is it worthwhile for the DNA analyst to invest in obtaining a second replicate? A decision-theoretic approach addresses these questions by quantitatively expressing the expected net gain (ENG) of each DNA analysis of interest. The results indicate that two replicates generally have a greater ENG than a single DNA analysis for DNA quantities capable of producing two replicates having an average allelic peak height as low as 43 rfu. This supports the position that two replicates increase the information content with regard to a single analysis. Published by Elsevier Ireland Ltd.

TI Steel Columns Subjected to Thermal Gradients from Fire Loading: Experimental Evaluation SO JOURNAL OF STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING LA English DT Article DE Fire; Elevated temperatures; Steel column; Thermal gradients; Experiment; Heat; Metal and composite structures ID BEAM-COLUMNS; BEHAVIOR; DESIGN AB This paper presents the behavior of axially loaded steel columns subjected to thermal gradients through their cross sections. Experimental tests were conducted on full-scale wide-flange steel columns with W8 x 35 and W14 x 53 sections made from standard grade 50 steel. The experimental investigations confirmed that variations in fire protection thickness had significant influence on the thermal gradient developing through the steel cross section. Thermal gradient along the flanges caused bowing of column specimens toward the hotter side. Thermal bowing introduced second-order moments and adversely affected stability, leading to failure of column specimens by inelastic flexural column buckling. The experimental behavior and results were compared with those obtained from detailed nonlinear finite-element analyses of the tested specimens. These nonlinear finite-element models utilized standard (temperature-dependent) material properties, and reasonably predicted the axial load-temperature-deformation behavior and failure temperature of column specimens subjected to nonuniform heating.

We report the application of attosecond pulse trains to directly and unambiguously measure the difference in lifetimes between photoelectrons born into free electron-like states and those excited into unoccupied excited states in the band structure of nickel (111). An enormous increase in lifetime of 212 +/- 30 attoseconds occurs when the final state coincides with a short-lived excited state. Moreover, a strong dependence of this lifetime on emission angle is directly related to the final-state band dispersion as a function of electron transverse momentum. This finding underscores the importance of the material band structure in determining photoelectron lifetimes and corresponding electron escape depths.

TI Six temperature and precipitation regimes of the contiguous United States between 1895 and 2010: a statistical inference study SO THEORETICAL AND APPLIED CLIMATOLOGY LA English DT Article ID HISTORICAL CLIMATOLOGY NETWORK; TIME-SERIES; TRENDS; VARIABILITY; UNCERTAINTIES; PATTERNS; PACIFIC; DROUGHT AB This paper describes six different temporal climate regimes of the contiguous United States (CONUS) according to interdecadal variations of surface air temperature (SAT) and precipitation using the United States Historical Climatology Network (USHCN) monthly data (Tmax, Tmin, Tmean, and precipitation) from 1895 to 2010. Our analysis is based on the probability distribution, mean, standard deviation, skewness, kurtosis, Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) test, and Welch's t test. The relevant statistical parameters are computed from gridded monthly SAT and precipitation data. SAT variations lead to classification of four regimes: 1895-1930 (cool), 1931-1960 (warm), 1961-1985 (cool), and 1986-2010 (warm), while precipitation variations lead to a classification of two regimes: 1895-1975 (dry) and 1976-2010 (wet). The KS test shows that any two regimes of the above six are statistically significantly different from each other due to clear shifts of the probability density functions. Extremes of SAT and precipitation identify the ten hottest, coldest, driest, and wettest years. Welch's t test is used to discern significant differences among these extremes. The spatial patterns of the six climate regimes and some years of extreme climate are analyzed. Although the recent two decades are the warmest among the other decades since 1895 and many hottest years measured by CONUS Tmin and Tmean are in these two decades, the hottest year according to the CONUS Tmax anomalies is 1934 (1.37 A degrees C), which is very close to the second Tmax hottest year 2006 (1.35 A degrees C).

TI Sensitivity of Global Upper-Ocean Heat Content Estimates to Mapping Methods, XBT Bias Corrections, and Baseline Climatologies SO JOURNAL OF CLIMATE LA English DT Article ID SEA-LEVEL RISE; DATA ASSIMILATION SYSTEM; SUBSURFACE TEMPERATURE; EXPENDABLE BATHYTHERMOGRAPHS; SURFACE TEMPERATURE; VARIABILITY; PREDICTIONS; VARIABLES; PRESSURE; IMPACTS AB Ocean warming accounts for the majority of the earth's recent energy imbalance. Historic ocean heat content (OHC) changes are important for understanding changing climate. Calculations of OHC anomalies (OHCA) from in situ measurements provide estimates of these changes. Uncertainties in OHCA estimates arise from calculating global fields from temporally and spatially irregular data (mapping method), instrument bias corrections, and the definitions of a baseline climatology from which anomalies are calculated. To investigate sensitivity of OHCA estimates for the upper 700 m to these different factors, the same quality-controlled dataset is used by seven groups and comparisons are made. Two time periods (1970-2008 and 1993-2008) are examined. Uncertainty due to the mapping method is 16.5 ZJ for 1970-2008 and 17.1 ZJ for 1993-2008 (1 ZJ = 1 x 10(21) J). Uncertainty due to instrument bias correction varied from 8.0 to 17.9 ZJ for 1970-2008 and from 10.9 to 22.4 ZJ for 1993-2008, depending on mapping method. Uncertainty due to baseline mean varied from 3.5 to 14.5 ZJ for 1970-2008 and from 2.7 to 9.8 ZJ for 1993-2008, depending on mapping method and offsets. On average mapping method is the largest source of uncertainty. The linear trend varied from 1.3 to 5.0 ZJ yr(-1) (0.08-0.31 Wm(-2)) for 1970-2008 and from 1.5 to 9.4 ZJ yr(-1) (0.09-0.58 Wm(-2)) for 1993-2008, depending on method, instrument bias correction, and baseline mean. Despite these complications, a statistically robust upper-ocean warming was found in all cases for the full time period. C1 [Boyer, Tim] NOAA, Natl Ctr Environm Informat, Silver Spring, MD USA.

Data from MLS and SABER are vertically integrated to approximate the SSU weighting functions and combined with SSU to provide a data record spanning 1979-2015. Vertical integrals are calculated using empirically derived Gaussian weighting functions, which provide improved agreement with high-latitude SSU measurements compared to previously derived weighting functions. These merged SSU data are used to evaluate decadal-scale trends, solar cycle variations, and volcanic effects from the lower to the upper stratosphere. Episodic warming is observed following the volcanic eruptions of El Chichon (1982) and Mt. Pinatubo (1991), focused in the tropics in the lower stratosphere and in high latitudes in the middle and upper stratosphere. Solar cycle variations are centered in the tropics, increasing in amplitude from the lower to the upper stratosphere. Linear trends over 1979-2015 show that cooling increases with altitude from the lower stratosphere (from similar to-0.1 to -0.2 K decade (1)) to the middle and upper stratosphere (from; similar to-0.5 to -0.6 K decade (1)). Cooling in the middle and upper stratosphere is relatively uniform in latitudes north of about 30 degrees S, but trends decrease to near zero over the Antarctic. Mid-and upper-stratospheric temperatures show larger cooling over the first half of the data record (1979-97) compared to the second half (1998-2015), reflecting differences in upper-stratospheric ozone trends between these periods.

Only a small subset of strains is pathogenic. Most clinical strains encode for the thermostable direct hemolysin (TDH) and/or the TDH-related hemolysin (TRH). In this work, we amplify and sequence the trh gene from over 80 trh + strains of this bacterium and identify thirteen genetically distinct alleles, most of which have not been deposited in GenBank previously. Sequence data was used to design new primers for more reliable detection of trh by endpoint PCR. We also designed a new quantitative PCR assay to target a more conserved gene that is genetically-linked to trh. This gene, ureR, encodes the transcriptional regulator for the urease gene cluster immediately upstream of trh. We propose that this ureR assay can be a useful screening tool as a surrogate for direct detection of trh that circumvents challenges associated with trh sequence variation.

Recent computational efforts have identified the isotropic-tonematic transition temperature for polymers such as poly(3hexylthiophene- 2,5-diyl) (P3HT). Herein, model predictions are combined with experimentally determined values of the equilibrium melting temperature as a function of chain length to provide the complete phase behavior for P3HT. Additionally, because a full description of the phase behavior requires proper accounting for the regioregularity of the chain, a thermodynamic relationship is derived to predict this behavior as a function of both chain length and regioregularity and the impact of regioregularity on the expected phase diagram is discussed.

The strongest tornadoes are produced by supercells, long-lived thunderstorms characterized by a persistent rotating updraft. The sheer destructive power of the strongest class of tornado (EF5) makes these tornadoes the subject of active research. However, very little is currently known about why some supercells produce long-track (a long damage path) EF5 tornadoes, while other storms in similar environments produce short-lived, weak tornadoes, or produce no tornado at all. Recently, a breakthrough simulation was conducted on the Blue Waters supercomputer in which a simulated supercell produces an EF5 tornado that is on the ground for almost two hours. In this paper we report on the visualizations illuminating the simulation, which elucidate three-dimensional features thought to play an important role in creating and maintaining the tornado. Several obstacles needed to be overcome in order to produce the visualization of this simulation, including managing nearly 100 TB of model output, interfacing the model output format to high-quality visualization tools, and choosing effective visualization parameters.

TI Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Port Valdez Shrimp and Sediment SO ARCHIVES OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION AND TOXICOLOGY LA English DT Article ID RISK ASSESSMENT; SHELL GROWTH; HEALTH-RISK; OIL-SPILL; CRUDE-OIL; ALASKA; REPRODUCTION; EQUIVALENCY; RESOURCES; CLIMATE AB Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from oil were present in some shrimp from Port Valdez, site of a ballast water treatment facility at the Alyeska Alaska Marine Terminal (AMT). Low-level petrogenic PAH concentrations were generally restricted to shrimp eggs in the vicinity of the AMT and extended along the southern shore of Port Valdez to Anderson Bay. Eggs had greater lipid content than other tissues and thus were the most vulnerable biological compartment to hydrocarbon accumulation. Petrogenic hydrocarbons were not observed in shrimp muscle and cephalothoraxes; thus, these tissues do not pose a human health risk. Risk for children older than age 2 years and adults consuming eggs also was low except for two unusual samples (of 32), collected about 17 km west of the treatment facility. In general, PAH loads were consistent with local time series data in other species. We infer that the accumulation mechanism was dissolved uptake from water, consistent with passive sampler observations completed more than a decade earlier. Hydrocarbon levels in the majority of samples were below toxic thresholds. Total PAH accumulation was substantially greater in some pink shrimp than in other species, thus differences in habitat utilization (muddy vs. rocky substrate) are potentially important.

River runoff, local wind stress, and tides from December 20, 2011, to February 1, 2012, were included as input. The experiments showed an anticyclonic circulation in the eastern CLE, a cyclonic circulation in West Cove, and a saltwater conduit in the navigation channel between these circulation cells. Freshwater from the river and wetlands tends to flow over the shallow shoals toward the ocean, presenting a case of the conventional estuarine circulation with shallow water influenced by river discharge and with weak tidally-induced motion, enhanced by wind. The baroclinic pressure gradient is important for the circulation and saltwater intrusion. The effect of remote wind-driven oscillation plays an important role in circulation and salinity distribution in winter. Unless it is from the east, wind is found to inhibit saltwater intrusion through the narrow navigation channel, indicating the effect of Ekman setup during easterly wind. A series of north-south oriented barrier islands in the lake uniquely influenced water level and salinity distribution between the shallow lake and deep navigation channel. The depth of the navigation channel is also crucial in influencing saltwater intrusion: the deeper the channel, the more saltwater intrusion and the more intense estuarine circulation. Recurring winter storms have a significant accumulated effect on the transport of water and sediment, saltwater intrusion, and associated environmental and ecosystem effects.

Impacts of this spill on salt marsh vegetation have been well documented, although impacts on marsh macroinvertebrates have received less attention. To examine impacts of the oil spill on an important marsh invertebrate and ecosystem engineer, we conducted a meta-analysis on fiddler crabs (Uca spp.) using published sources and newly available Natural Resources Damage Assessment (NRDA) and Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative (GoMRI) data. Fiddler crabs influence marsh ecosystem structure and function through their burrowing and feeding activities and are key prey for a number of marsh and estuarine predators. We tested the hypothesis that the spill affected fiddler crab burrow density (crab abundance), burrow diameter (crab size), and crab species composition. Averaged across multiple studies, sites, and years, our synthesis revealed a negative effect of oiling on all three metrics. Burrow densities were reduced by 39 % in oiled sites, with impacts and incomplete recovery observed over 2010-2014. Burrow diameters were reduced from 2010 to 2011, but appeared to have recovered by 2012. Fiddler crab species composition was altered through at least 2013 and only returned to reference conditions where marsh vegetation recovered, via restoration planting in one case. Given the spatial and temporal extent of data analyzed, this synthesis provides compelling evidence that the Deepwater Horizon spill suppressed populations of fiddler crabs in oiled marshes, likely affecting other ecosystem attributes, including marsh productivity, marsh soil characteristics, and associated predators.

Physical and biological sampling was conducted along a cross-shelf transect through the Columbia River plume during May 1999. Based on cluster analyses of physical variables, stations considered to be within the core of the plume, at 27.8-46.3 km from shore, were distinct from inshore (7.4-18.5 km) and offshore (55.6-92.7 km) stations. Five variables (temperature at 10 m, salinity at 3 and 10 m, silicate, and chlorophyll) accounted for 92 % of this difference. Both surface neuston and subsurface plankton tows revealed differences in plankton composition at the plume core stations compared to non-plume stations. However, stomach contents of juvenile Chinook salmon were not significantly different inside and outside the plume core. Comparison of similarity indices showed that the stomach composition was more similar to the catch composition in the neuston than the meter net. Fishes, decapod larvae, and hyperiid amphipods occurred in greater proportions and copepods and euphausiids in lesser proportions in the stomachs than in the plankton. There appeared to be a distinctive plume signal, evident in both the physical environment and zooplankton resources sampled inside and outside the plume core, but the plume signature was not as evident in the salmon diets, possibly due to their higher mobility and shorter residence time within the plume.

SO ESTUARIES AND COASTS LA English DT Article DE Cryptic subadult fish migration; Otolith chemistry; Blueback Herring; Hudson River ID SHAD ALOSA-SAPIDISSIMA; JUVENILE AMERICAN SHAD; OTOLITH MICROCHEMISTRY; DREISSENA-POLYMORPHA; WHITE PERCH; FISH; ESTUARY; PATTERNS; SCALE; CHEMISTRY AB Anadromous fishes are commonly thought to use inland waters for spawning and for rearing in the first growing season. Thereafter, they emigrate seaward to feed, grow, and mature. However, yearling (age 1+) alosine herrings have been observed in the Hudson River estuary during the spawning season. We quantified the frequency of this behavior for Blueback Herring (Alosa aestivalis) in two contrasting time periods: the 1980s-1990s, a period of relatively high abundance, and 2012-2013, a period of low abundance. Using otolith chemistry, we (1) assayed whether yearlings captured during the spawning run had egressed to sea and then returned to fresh water, and (2) examined adult spawners and retrospectively estimated the frequency of yearling returns to fresh water in these recruited fish. At least 36 % and up to 90 % of yearlings showed evidence of overwintering at sea or very far down the estuary prior to returning to fresh water with the spawning adults. Of the adults, 67-75 % showed evidence of returns up to fresh water as yearlings, despite large changes in population size and demographic characteristics. We conclude that this cryptic, "non-textbook" migratory behavior is common, and suggest that the importance of estuarine and freshwater nurseries may extend beyond the young-of-year period.

Nine different Analysis Centers (ACs) reanalyzed the history of GNSS data collected by a global tracking network back to 1994 using the latest available models and methodology, and provided daily terrestrial frame solutions among other products. Daily combinations of the AC terrestrial frame solutions provided the IGS input to the next release of the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF2014). From weighted root mean squares values of the residuals of the daily repro2 combinations, the overall inter-AC level of agreement is assessed to be 1.5 mm for the horizontal components and 4 mm for the vertical component of station positions, 25-40 as for pole coordinates, 140-200 as/day for pole rates, 8-20 s/day for calibrated length-of-day estimates, 4 mm for the X and Y components of geocenter motion, 8 mm for its Z component and 0.5 mm for the terrestrial scale. On the long term, the origins (resp. scales) of the AC terrestrial frames show relative offsets and rates within 3 mm and 0.3 mm/year (resp. 0.5 mm and 0.05 mm/year). The combination residuals also present AC-specific features, some of which are explained by known analysis specifics, while others remain under investigation.

The importance of this current lies in that it is the main conduit of subtropical waters to higher latitudes in the South Atlantic Ocean. This study assesses the structure and variability of the BC across the nominal latitude of 22A degrees S using data from the high-density eXpendable BathyThermograph (XBT) AX97 transect and from three numerical ocean models with data assimilation. This XBT transect was implemented in 2004 and represents one of the longer-term monitoring systems of the BC in existence. The goal of this work is to enhance the understanding of the temporal and spatial variability of the ocean dynamics in the southwestern South Atlantic Ocean by using a suite of hydrographic observations and numerical model outputs. In the present work, 37 XBT transect realizations using data collected between 2004 and 2012 are used. Daily outputs covering the same time period are evaluated from Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model with the Navy Coupled Ocean Data Assimilation (HYCOM-NCODA) with a 1/12A degrees horizontal resolution, and GLORYS2V3 and FOAM, both with a 1/4A degrees horizontal resolution. These Ocean Forecasting and Analysis Systems (OFAS) are able to capture the mean observed features in the 22A degrees S region, showing a BC core confined to the west of 39A degrees W and an Intermediate Western Boundary Current between the depths of 200 and 800 m. However, the OFAS tend to overestimate the mean BC baroclinic volume transport across the AX97 reference transect and underestimate its variability. The OFAS show that the coastal region between the coastline and the western edge of the AX97 transect plays an important role in the mean BC total transport, contributing to up to 23 % of its value, and further that this transport is not sampled by the XBT observations with its current sampling strategy. In order to understand the variability of the BC, a statistical classification of the BC is proposed, with the identification of three different events: weak, intermediate, and strong.

This ambiguity is because the marker named D5S2500 consists of two different microsatellites forming separate components in the capillary electrophoresis multiplexes of Qiagen's HDplex (Hilden, Germany) and AGCU ScienTech's non-CODIS STR 21plex (Wuxi, Jiangsu, China). This study outlines the genomic details used to identify each microsatellite and reveals the D5S2500 marker in HDplex has the correctly assigned STR name, while the D5S2500 marker in the AGCU 21plex, closely positioned a further 1643 nucleotides in the human reference sequence, is an unnamed microsatellite. The fact that the D5S2500 marker has existed as two distinct STR loci undetected for almost ten years, even with reported discordant genotypes for the standard control DNA, underlines the need for careful scrutiny of the genomic properties of forensic STRs, as they become adapted for sequence analysis with MPS systems. We make the recommendation that precise chromosome location data must be reported for any forensic marker under development but not in common use, so that the genomic characteristics of the locus are validated to the same level of accuracy as its allelic variation and forensic performance. To clearly differentiate each microsatellite, we propose the name D5S2800 be used to identify the Chromosome-5 STR in the AGCU 21plex. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.

TI Population-specific F-ST values for forensic STR markers: A worldwide survey SO FORENSIC SCIENCE INTERNATIONAL-GENETICS LA English DT Article DE Forensic DNA; STR marker; Theta; Coancestry ID STATISTICS AB The interpretation of matching between DNA profiles of a person of interest and an item of evidence is undertaken using population genetic models to predict the probability of matching by chance. Calculation of matching probabilities is straightforward if allelic probabilities are known, or can be estimated, in the relevant population. It is more often the case, however, that the relevant population has not been sampled and allele frequencies are available only from a broader collection of populations as might be represented in a national or regional database. Variation of allele probabilities among the relevant populations is quantified by the population structure quantity F-ST and this quantity affects matching proportions. Matching within a population can be interpreted only with respect to matching between populations and we show here that F-ST, can be estimated from sample allelic matching proportions within and between populations. We report such estimates from data we extracted from 250 papers in the forensic literature, representing STR profiles at up to 24 loci from nearly 500,000 people in 446 different populations. The results suggest that theta values in current forensic use do not have the buffer of conservatism often thought. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.

Previous commercial quantification methods determine the total human DNA and total human male DNA concentrations, but provide limited information about the condition of the DNA sample. The PowerQuant (R) System includes targets for quantification of total human and total human male DNA as well as targets for evaluating whether the human DNA is degraded and/or PCR inhibitors are present in the sample. A developmental validation of the PowerQuant (R) System was completed, following SWGDAM Validation Guidelines, to evaluate the assay's specificity, sensitivity, precision and accuracy, as well as the ability to detect degraded DNA or PCR inhibitors. In addition to the total human DNA and total human male DNA concentrations in a sample, data from the degradation target and internal PCR control (IPC) provide a forensic DNA analyst meaningful information about the quality of the isolated human DNA and the presence of PCR inhibitors in the sample that can be used to determine the most effective workflow and assist downstream interpretation.

The received signals are composed from a high-resolution numerical prediction weather model. Thousands of scattering centers (SCs), each with an independent randomly generated Doppler spectrum, populate the field of view of the radar. The moments of the SC spectra are derived from the numerical weather model, and the SC positions are updated based on the 3-D wind field. In order to accurately emulate the effects of the system-induced cross-polar contamination, the array is modeled using a complete set of dual-polarization radiation patterns. The simulator offers reconfigurable element patterns and positions and access to independent time series data for each element, resulting in easy implementation of any beamforming method. It also allows for arbitrary waveform designs and is able to model the effects of quantization on waveform performance. Simultaneous, alternating, quasi-simultaneous, and pulse-to-pulse phase-coded modes of polarimetric signal transmission have been implemented. This framework allows for realistic emulation of the effects of cross-polar fields on weather observations, as well as the evaluation of possible techniques for the mitigation of those effects.

Thus recognizing and extracting their morphology is important for understanding their dynamics. Conventional optical sensors, due to cloud cover associated with hurricanes, cannot reveal the intense air-sea interaction occurring at the sea surface. In contrast, the unique capabilities of spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data for cloud penetration, and its backscattering signal characteristics enable the extraction of the sea surface roughness. Therefore, SAR images enable the measurement of the size and shape of hurricane eyes, which reveal their evolution and strength. In this study, using six SAR hurricane images, we have developed a mathematical morphology method for automatically extracting the hurricane eyes from C-band SAR data. Skeleton pruning based on discrete skeleton evolution (DSE) was used to ensure global and local preservation of the hurricane eye shape. This distance weighted algorithm applied in a hierarchical structure for extraction of the edges of the hurricane eyes, can effectively avoid segmentation errors by reducing redundant skeletons attributed to speckle noise along the edges of the hurricane eye. As a consequence, the skeleton pruning has been accomplished without deficiencies in the key hurricane eye skeletons. A morphology-based analyses of the subsequent reconstructions of the hurricane eyes shows a high degree of agreement with the hurricane eye areas derived from reference data based on NOAA manual work.

New safety standards allow people to work next to robots, but require that they be protected from harm while they do so. Sensors that detect and track people are a natural way of implementing the necessary safety monitoring, and have the added advantage that the information about where the people are and where they are going can be fed back into the application and used to give the robot greater situational awareness for performing tasks. The results should help users determine if such a system will provide sufficient protection for people to be able to work safely in collaborative applications with industrial robots.

TI Tropical cyclones, derelict traps, and the future of the Florida Keys commercial spiny lobster fishery SO MARINE POLICY LA English DT Article DE Climate change; Tropical cyclone; Derelict traps; Scenario; Spiny lobster fishery; Florida Keys ID NATIONAL MARINE SANCTUARY; PIECEWISE REGRESSION; ECOLOGICAL RESEARCH; PANULIRUS-ARGUS; FISHING GEAR; SUSTAINABILITY; ECOSYSTEMS; SERVICES; SCENARIO; IMPACTS AB Derelict commercial spiny lobster (Panulirus argus) traps may move hundreds of meters during high wind events, resulting in tissue abrasion, breakage, and often complete removal of critical habitat elements such as seagrass, sponge, and coral. Ghost traps continue to confine lobsters, often resulting in mortality. The legacy of trap debris in the Florida Keys (USA) combined with possible increased inputs of trap debris resulting from tropical cyclone intensification presents an immediate challenge for this fishery where social, economic, and ecological vulnerabilities to disturbance are intrinsically linked. Here, predictions of percent monthly trap loss in relation to maximum wind speed (km/h) under three scenarios of tropical cyclone intensification were evaluated across four levels of fishing effort (number of traps used). Across all tropical cyclone scenarios, Historical fishing effort (986,000 traps) produced the greatest number of lost traps, followed in decreasing order by Existing (479,000), Target (400,000), and Maximum Economic Yield (MEY; 180,000) efforts. Under a Business-as-Usual scenario of intensification, converting from Existing fishing effort to MEY reduced trap loss by over 62%. The scenarios suggest that were Existing fishing effort to be maintained in the coming decades, tropical cyclone-related trap loss could exceed 11 million over 60 years depending upon the rate of storm intensification. Existing programs for derelict trap removal cannot currently keep pace with accumulation; consequently, the proximal source of trap debris is increasing in the environment. The net increase in derelict traps and debris generated from their degradation will only be exacerbated under potential tropical cyclone intensification. This study underscores the need for using scenarios for future exploration of these issues, particularly incorporation of fisher responses to changes in climatic, economic, and management drivers (i.e., storms, market demand, gear reduction) that may affect trap deployment patterns.

Interest and concern has grown since 2000 on the widespread presence of PFAAs, when it was discovered that PFAAs were present in wildlife samples around the northern hemisphere. Since then, several studies have reported PFAAs in wildlife from many locations, including the remote regions of Antarctica and the Arctic. Although there are a multitude of studies, few have reported PFAA concentrations in reptiles and wildlife in the Southern Hemisphere. This study investigated the presence of PFAAs in the plasma of Nile crocodiles (Crocodylus niloticus) from South Africa. Crocodiles were captured from five sites in and around the Kruger National Park, South Africa, and plasma samples examined for PFAAs. Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) was the most frequent PFAA detected; with median values of 13.5 ng/g wet mass in crocodiles. In addition to PFOS, long chain per fluorinated carboxylic acids were also detected. Correlations between total length and PFAA load were investigated, as were differences in PFAA accumulation between sexes. No correlations were seen between crocodile size, nor were there sex-related differences. Spatial differences were examined and significant differences were observed in samples collected from the different sites (p < 0.05). Flag Boshielo Dam had the highest PFOS measurements, with a median concentration of 50.3 ng/g wet mass, when compared to the other sites (median concentrations at other sites below 14.0 ng/g wet mass). This suggests a point source of PFOS in this area. Published by Elsevier Ltd. C1 [Christie, Ian] Coll Charleston, Grice Marine Lab, 205 Ft Johnson Rd, Charleston, SC 29401 USA.

Noise-interferometry-based approximations to Green's functions can be used as the basis for a variety of inversion algorithms, thereby providing a purely passive alternative to active-source ocean acoustic remote sensing. In this paper we give an overview of results from noise interferometry experiments conducted in the Florida Straits at 100 m depth in December 2012, and at 600 m depth in September/October 2013. Under good conditions for noise interferometry, estimates of cross-correlation functions are shown to allow one to perform advanced phase-coherent signal processing techniques to perform waveform inversions, estimate currents by exploiting non-reciprocity, perform time-reversal/back-propagation calculations and investigate modal dispersion using time-warping techniques. Conditions which are favourable for noise interferometry are identified and discussed. C1 [Brown, M. G.; Zang, X.; Williams, N.

Given their ecological variability and widespread distribution across ocean basins, it is important to scrutinize their evolutionary history that underlies present day distributions. This study investigated the patterns and processes by which grouper biodiversity has been generated and what factors have influenced their present day distributions. We reconstructed a robust, time-calibrated molecular phylogeny of Epinephelidae with comprehensive (similar to 87%) species sampling, whereby diversification rates were estimated and ancestral ranges were reconstructed. Our results indicate that groupers originated in what is now the East Atlantic during the mid-Eocene and diverged successively to form six strongly supported main clades. These clades differ in age (late Oligocene to mid-Miocene), geographic origin (West Atlantic to West Indo-Pacific) and temporal-spatial diversification pattern, ranging from constant rates of diversification to episodes of rapid radiation. Overall, divergence within certain biogeographic regions was most prevalent in groupers, while vicariant divergences were more common in Tropical Atlantic and East Pacific groupers. Our findings reveal that both biological and geographical factors have driven grouper diversification. They also underscore the importance of scrutinizing group-specific patterns to better understand reef fish evolution. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

The majority of the impacts to life and property were the direct result of category-3 and category-4 enhanced Fujita scale (EF-3 and EF-4) tornadoes that affected the communities of Cleburne and Granbury, Texas. This study focuses on an examination of the north Texas integrated warning team (IWT) communications through a thorough analysis of interactions between IWT members during this event. Communications from all members of the IWT were collected and organized so that a quantitative analysis of the IWT communications network could be performed. The results of this analysis were used to identify strengths and weaknesses of current IWT communications to improve the consistency of hazardous weather messaging for future high-impact weather events. The results also show how effectively communicating within an IWT leads not only to more consistent messaging but also to broader dissemination of hazardous weather information to the public. The analysis techniques outlined in this study could serve as a model for comprehensive studies of IWTs across the country.

In 2015, the NFRL was expanded to enable research on the response of real-scale structural systems to realistic fire and mechanical loading under controlled laboratory conditions. The scientific objectives of the expanded NFRL are to develop an experimental database on the performance of materials, components, connections, assemblies, and systems under fire load. This data can be used by the international research community to validate and verify physics-based predictive models. The lab features two high bay test areas, a 18 m x 27 m strong floor with 1218 anchor points, a 9 m x 18 m strong wall with 420 anchor points, a hydraulic loading system, four large exhaust hoods instrumented for fire calorimetry, an emission control system for scrubbing acid gases and particles generated by real fuels, controlled gas and liquid fuel burners, water suppression systems, overhead cranes and conditioning space. The laboratory expansion was designed to accommodate experiments on real-scale structural systems and components up to two stories in height and 2 bays x 3 bays in plan. Through application of controlled loads, true service conditions can be simulated, and structures can be exposed to controlled and realistic fire conditions that grow, spread and decay with heat release rates as large as 20 MW. Measurement capabilities have been developed to characterize the response of structural systems and components up to failure and to characterize the fire heat release rate and thermal environment in real time. A detailed description of the laboratory is presented with an emphasis on measurement capabilities. C1 [Bundy, Matthew] NIST, NFRL, 100 Bur Dr, Gaithersburg, MD 20899 USA.

TI Ignition of Wood Fencing Assemblies Exposed to Continuous Wind-Driven Firebrand Showers SO FIRE TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT Workshop of Fire-Structure Interaction and Large Outdoor Fires Operation Tomodachi: Fire Research CY MAR 16-18, 2015 CL Gaithersburg, MD DE WUI fires; Ignition; Firebrands ID INTERFACE WUI FIRES; STRUCTURE VULNERABILITIES; FLIGHT; MULCH AB Post-fire studies conducted by NIST on the Waldo Canyon Fire in Colorado (2012) determined that wood fencing assemblies are believed to be vulnerable to ignition from firebrand showers in Wildland-Urban Interface fires, but again there has never been any experimental verification of this ignition mechanism. As a result, a series of experiments were conducted to examine ignition of wood fencing assemblies subjected to continuous, wind-driven firebrand showers. Western Red Cedar and Redwood fencing assemblies were exposed to continuous, wind-driven firebrands generated by the NIST full-scale Continuous Feed Firebrand Generator installed in the Fire Research Wind Tunnel Facility at the Building Research Institute in Japan. To simulate fine fuels that may be present near fencing assemblies, dried shredded hardwood mulch beds were placed adjacent to the fencing assemblies. The fencing assemblies were varied in length and in orientation to the applied wind field to simulate a range of configurations that may be encountered in realistic situations. Both flat and corner sections of fencing assemblies were used in these experiments. The dimensions of the flat wood fencing assemblies sections were varied from 0.91 m wide, 1.83 m in height to 1.83 m wide, 1.83 m in height. With respect to the corner sections, the dimensions used were 0.91 m by 0.91 m by 1.83 m in height. All configurations considered resulted in flaming ignition (FI) of the mulch beds, and subsequent FI of the wood fencing assemblies. Finally, experiments were also completed to determine if wind-driven firebrand showers could produce FI of fencing assemblies without the presence of fine fuels adjacent to the fence sections. Firebrands produced smoldering ignition (SI) of the fencing assemblies without fine fuels present, and SI transitioned to FI under the applied wind field. These experiments have demonstrated that wood fencing assemblies are vulnerable to ignition by wind-driven firebrand showers. C1 [Suzuki, Sayaka] NRIFD, Chofu, Tokyo 1828508, Japan.

TI The design and performance of an automated observer deployment system for the Northeastern United States groundfish fishery SO FISHERIES RESEARCH LA English DT Article DE Fisheries observer; Coverage rates; Automated deployment system; Northeastern United States; Groundfish AB Historically, a dock intercept process was used to deploy observers in the Northeastern United States groundfish fishery. In this process, the selection of which fishing trips received observer coverage was manually accomplished using pre-defined specifications established by the National Marine Fisheries Service's Northeast Fisheries Science Center. In May 2010, the management of the northeast groundfish fishery underwent major changes affecting the magnitude and complexity of observer deployment. These changes included: (a) a shift from input controls to a quota based catch-share system; (b) an approximate four-fold increase in the level of observer coverage; and (c) introduction of a new class of trained observers. The manual dock intercept process was insufficient to adequately address these new provisions and an automated observer deployment system, the Pre-Trip Notification System (PTNS), was implemented in the Northeastern United States groundfish fishery on 1 May 2010. The PTNS uses a self-adjusting probability-based, tiered selection process to randomly assign observer coverage across the groundfish fleet on a proportional basis for the purpose of monitoring discards. In this paper, we discuss the general design and performance of the PTNS over the first three years of use with a specific focus the self-adjusting properties of the system, and the impacts of vessel compliance.

TI Performance of federally managed catch share fisheries in the United States SO FISHERIES RESEARCH LA English DT Article DE Fisheries; Catch shares; Performance measures; Economic indicators; Distributional effects ID PACIFIC HALIBUT; POLLOCK FISHERY; SYSTEM; POLICY; PRODUCTIVITY; RIGHTS; QUOTAS AB In 2011 the National Marine Fisheries Service began a systematic collection of performance indicators for U.S. fisheries managed under catch shares. Catch shares are a fishery management tool that dedicate a secure share of quota allowing individual fishermen, fishing cooperatives, fishing communities, or other entities to harvest a fixed amount of fish. Catch share design varies widely across different programs and regions. Many programs share similar biological, social, and economic management objectives even though these design features are tailored to accommodate particular fishery characteristics. This paper evaluates fisheries using standardized indicators to measure the basic economic performance, regardless of catch share program design. Data collected were used to evaluate the economic and distribution effects of U.S. catch share programs. Catch share fishery performance is compared to a baseline period prior to implementation of the catch share program. Overall, the majority of objectives to improve the economic performance of catch share fisheries were achieved. Catch share programs have been effective in reducing fishing capacity. However, catch share programs have had distributional consequences as there are indications that consolidation is occurring in a number of programs. For example, there have been considerable reductions in the number of active vessels and entities holding quota share in the Alaska Halibut and Sablefish and the Mid-Atlantic Surfclam and Ocean Quahog catch share programs. However, it is important to note that the accumulation of ownership share may be less of a concern than consolidation in the use of quota. Thus, to the extent that consolidation is considered a management problem, it may be more effective to consider caps on the use of quota than by imposing more restrictive ownership caps.

TI A simple predation pressure index for modeling changes in natural mortality: Application to Gulf of Maine northern shrimp stock assessment SO FISHERIES RESEARCH LA English DT Article DE Multispecies stock assessment; Retrospective patterns; Natural; mortality; Predation; Diet composition; Pandalus borealis ID PANDALUS-BOREALIS PANDALIDAE; MARINE ECOSYSTEM; ATLANTIC; FISHERY; MANAGEMENT; BIOMASS; ALASKA; SIZE AB This paper describes a method for incorporating varying predation pressure in stock assessment that does not require estimation of consumption rates or absolute consumption by predators. The method is applied to assessment of northern shrimp Pandalus borealis, an important forage species in the North Atlantic Ocean and the target of major fisheries. A predation pressure index (PPI) was developed using data collected during resource surveys in Gulf of Maine northern shrimp habitat areas during 1968-2013. Predators were identified based on the percent frequency of occurrence (PFO) of Pandalid shrimp in their diets. The PPI for each year was the weighted sum of the biomass indices of 21 identified predators, where the weights were the time-series average PFO for each predator. The PPI thus reflected the effects of both the biomass of each predator and its importance as a predator of shrimp. The PPI time series was used to scale an assumed average natural mortality rate (M) that replaced a constant M assumption in the stock assessment model. Use of the PPI-scaled M improved the overall fit of the model and reduced a retrospective pattern in the constant M model by nearly 60%. The PPI approach allows time -varying predation to be accounted for in an assessment model without requiring estimates of absolute abundance of predators and their total consumption, quantities which may be unavailable or difficult to estimate accurately.

TI Techniques for improving estimates of maturity ogives in groundfish using double-reads and measurement error models SO FISHERIES RESEARCH LA English DT Article DE Maturity ogive; Skipped spawning; Histological error; Reader certainty; Groundfish; Measurement error model ID COD GADUS-MORHUA; ATLANTIC COD; MARINE FISHES; STOCK; AGE; REPRODUCTION; NEWFOUNDLAND; RECRUITMENT; MACKEREL; GROWTH AB The reproductive output of a population depends upon physiological factors, including maturation rates and fecundity-at-size and-at-age, as well as the rate at which post-maturation females fail to spawn (i.e. skipped spawning). These rates are increasingly included in stock assessment models, and are thought to change over time due to harvest and environmental factors. Thus, it is important to accurately estimate maturation and skipped spawning rates while also including information on imprecision. For this task, we developed a new double-read and measurement-error modeling protocol for estimating maturity that is based on the use of multiple histological reads of ovaries to account for reader error caused by poorly prepared slides, nuclear smear, and early yolk development. Application to three U.S. West Coast groundfishes (Pacific hake Merluccius productus, darkblotched rockfish Sebastes crameri, and canary rockfish Sebastes pinniger) indicates that reader uncertainty is strongly predictive of reader error rates. Results also show differences in rates of skipped spawning among species, which should be further investigated. We recommend that future maturity studies record reader certainty, use models that incorporate covariates into the analysis, and conduct an initial double reader analysis. If readers exhibit little variation, then double reads may not be necessary. In addition, slide quality should also be recorded, so that future studies do not confuse this with reader imprecision. This improved protocol will assist in estimating life history, as well as environmental, and anthropogenic effects on maturity. Published by Elsevier B.V.

The presented method replicates the convergence properties of FD but for arbitrary node layouts. It is tested on the 2D compressible Navier-Stokes equations at low Mach number, relevant to atmospheric flows. Test cases are taken from the numerical weather prediction community and solved on bounded domains. Thus, attention is given on how to handle boundaries with the RBF-FD method, as well as a novel implementation for hyperviscosity. Comparisons are done on Cartesian, hexagonal, and quasi-uniform node layouts. Consideration and guidelines are given on PHS order, polynomial degree and stencil size. The main advantages of the present method are: 1) capturing the basic physics of the problem surprisingly well, even at very coarse resolutions, 2) high-order accuracy without the need of tuning a shape parameter, and 3) the inclusion of polynomials eliminates stagnation (saturation) errors. A MATLAB code is given to calculate the differentiation weights for this novel approach. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

An excellent (00l)-oriented growth of BiFeO3 films with a dominant rhombohedral-like phase was identified by XRD analyses. The electrical properties, e.g. dielectric, ferroelectric and leakage current characteristics, of BiFeO3 films grown on these single-crystal substrates showed significant differences. It was found that the BiFeO3 film deposited on LaAlO3 substrate exhibited the best overall electrical properties among the four films. It showed low loss tangent (tan delta < 0.05) and leakage current density (J < 8 x 10(-4) A/cm(2)), as well as a remnant polarization of 2P(r) similar to 150 mu C/cm(2) and a reduced coercive field of 2E(c) similar to 340 kV/cm.

Sean TI The Importance of Relative Reaction Rates in the Optimization of Detailed Kinetic Models SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL KINETICS LA English DT Article ID COMBUSTION CHEMISTRY; SHOCK-TUBE; THERMAL-DECOMPOSITION; ARRHENIUS PARAMETERS; AUTOMATIC-GENERATION; ELEMENTARY REACTIONS; PRESSURE-DEPENDENCE; REACTION-MECHANISMS; EVALUATED KINETICS; 1-PENTYL RADICALS AB Numerous mathematical tools intended to adjust rate constants employed in complex detailed kinetic models to make them consistent with multiple sets of experimental data have been reported in the literature. Application of such model optimization methods typically begins with the assignment of uncertainties in the absolute rate constants in a starting model, followed by variation of the rate constants within these uncertainty bounds to tune rate parameters to match model outputs to experimental observations. The present work examines the impact of including information on relative reaction rates in the optimization strategy, which is not typically done in current implementations. It is shown that where such rate constant data are available, the available parameter space changes dramatically due to the correlations inherent in such measurements. Relative rate constants are typically measured with greater relative accuracy than corresponding absolute rate constant measurements. This greater accuracy further reduces the available parameter space, which significantly affects the uncertainty in the model outcomes as a result of kinetic parameter uncertainties. We demonstrate this effect by considering a simple example case emulating an ignition event and show that use of relative rate measurements leads to a significantly smaller uncertainty in the output ignition delay time in comparison with results based on absolute measurements. This is true even though the same range of absolute rate constants is sampled in each case. Implications of the results with respect to the maintenance of physically realistic kinetics in optimized models are discussed, and suggestions are made for the path forward in the refinement of detailed kinetic models.

TI Re-visiting projections of PCBs in Lower Hudson River fish using model emulation SO SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT LA English DT Article DE Model emulation; PCBs; Risk management; Hudson River; Natural recovery ID TRENDS AB Remedial decision making at large contaminated sediment sites with bioaccumulative contaminants often relies on complex mechanistic models to forecast future concentrations and compare remedial alternatives. Remedial decision-making for the Hudson River PCBs Superfund site involved predictions of future levels of PCBs in Upper Hudson River (UHR) and Lower Hudson River (LHR) fish. This study applied model emulation to evaluate the impact of updated sediment concentrations on the original mechanistic model projections of time to reach risk based target thresholds in fish in the LHR under Monitored Natural Attenuation (MNA) and the selected dredging remedy. The model emulation approach used a combination of nonlinear and linear regression models to estimate UHR water PCBs as a function of UHR sediment PCBs and to estimate fish concentrations in the LHR as a function of UHR water PCBs, respectively. Model emulation captured temporal changes in sediment, water, and fish PCBs predicted by the mechanistic model over the emulation period. The emulated model, using updated sediment concentrations and a revised estimate of recovery rate, matched the trend in annual monitoring data for white perch and large mouth bass in the LHR between 1997 and 2014. Our best predictions based on the emulated model indicate that the projected time to reach fish tissue risk-based thresholds in the LHR will take decades longer than the original mechanistic model projections.

As such, they have been well studied, and have been used in several cryptographic applications. Velu's formulas show how to explicitly evaluate an isogeny, given a specification of the kernel as a list of points. However, Velu's formulas only work for elliptic curves specified by a Weierstrass equation. This paper presents formulas similar to Velu's that can be used to evaluate isogenies on Edwards curves and Huff curves, which are normal forms of elliptic curves that provide an alternative to the traditional Weierstrass form. Our formulas are not simply compositions of Velu's formulas with mappings to and from Weierstrass form. Our alternate derivation yields efficient formulas for isogenies with lower algebraic complexity than such compositions. In fact, these formulas have lower algebraic complexity than Velu's formulas on Weierstrass curves. C1 [Moody, Dustin] NIST, Comp Secur Div, Gaithersburg, MD 20899 USA.

TI Relation Between Solvent Quality and Phase Behavior of Ternary Mixtures of Polymers and Two Solvents that Exhibit Cononsolvency SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY B LA English DT Article ID TO-COIL TRANSITION; LIQUID-CHROMATOGRAPHY; COMPETITIVE ADSORPTION; SELECTIVE EXTRACTION; HEXAVALENT CHROMIUM; CHITOSAN; CHAIN; NANOPARTICLES; SEPARATION; PROTEINS AB The phase boundaries of polymer solutions in mixed solvents can be extremely complex due to the many competing van der Waals and associative interactions that can arise in these ubiquitous and technologically important complex fluids. The present paper focuses specific attention on ternary solutions of polymers (B) dissolved in a mixture of two solvents (A, C) that competitively associate with the polymer. We are particularly concerned with explaining the origin of the peculiar phenomenon of cononsolvency in mixed solvents, where a mixture of two individually good solvents behaves effectively as a poor solvent. Our computations are based on a recently developed generalization of Flory-Huggins theory that incorporates the competitive solvation of a polymer by two associating solvents. On the basis of this framework, we evaluate the limit of polymer phase stability (spinodal curves) and the second osmotic virial coefficient B-2 as a function of temperature and the composition of the pure solvent mixture that is maintained in osmotic equilibrium with the ternary solution. The calculations provide new insights into the miscibility patterns of ternary A/B/C polymer solutions exhibiting cononsolvency.

We have previously measured the force between DNA-CNTs as a function of their interaxial distance in low monovalent salts where interhybrid electrostatic repulsion dominates. The characteristics of DNA-CNT forces were further shown to closely resemble that of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) in low salts. However, contrasting behaviors emerge at elevated monovalent salts: DNA-CNT condenses spontaneously, whereas dsDNA remains soluble. Here we report force distance dependencies of DNA-CNTs across wide-ranging monovalent salt concentrations. DNA-CNT force curves are observed to deviate from dsDNA curves above 300 mmol/L NaCl, and the deviation grows with increasing salts. Most notably, DNA-CNT forces become net attractive above 1 mol/L NaCl, whereas dsDNA forces are repulsive at all salt concentrations. We further discuss possible physical origins for the observed DNA-CNT attraction in monovalent salts, in consideration of the complex surface chemistry and unique polyelectrolyte properties of DNA-CNT hybrids.

TI Young of the year bluefish (Pomatomus saltatrix) as a bioindicator of estuarine health: Establishing a new baseline for persistent organic pollutants after Hurricane Sandy for selected estuaries in New Jersey and New York SO MARINE POLLUTION BULLETIN LA English DT Article DE Persistent organic pollutants; YOY bluefish; Pomatomus saltatrix; Hurricanes; Bioindicator; Estuarine health ID THE-YEAR BLUEFISH; POLYBROMINATED DIPHENYL ETHERS; COASTAL MARINE FINFISH; POLYCHLORINATED-BIPHENYLS; FOOD-WEB; ORGANOCHLORINE PESTICIDES; GROWTH; CONTAMINATION; BIOACCUMULATION; CONGENERS AB Atlantic coastal bays of the US are essential habitat for young of year bluefish (Pomatomus saltatrix). Their residence in these estuaries during critical life stages, high lipid content, and piscivory make bluefish an ideal bioindicator species for evaluating estuarine health. Individual whole fish from four estuaries impacted by Hurricane Sandy were collected in August 2013, analyzed for a suite of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) including polychlorinated biphenyls, polybrominated diphenyl ethers and organochlorine pesticides and evaluated using health metrics. Concentrations in whole bluefish differed by estuary; however, concentrations for many POPs decreased or were similar to those observed prior to the hurricane. Prevalence of the ectoparasitic gill isopod (Lironeca ovalis) varied by estuary and no relationships between contaminants and lesions were observed. Bluefish should be considered for monitoring programs and, if sampled frequently, could be an effective bioindicator of incremental and episodic changes in contaminants within aquatic food webs.

Mussels were,chosen because contaminant concentrations in their tissues respond to changes in ambient environmental levels, accumulation occurs with little metabolic transformation and a substantial amount of historic data were available. Mussels were collected from 10 previously studied locations approximately a year after Hurricane Sandy. Regionally, concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) decreased significantly, while concentrations of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) remained unchanged, and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) increased compared to historic concentrations. Although concentrations of PCBs, OCPs and PAHs were at or near record low concentrations, long-term trends did not change after Hurricane Sandy. To effectively measure storm induced impacts it is necessary to understand the factors influencing changes in mussel body burdens and have a long-term monitoring network and an ability to mobilize post event.

The objective of this study was to examine the leading modes of interannual and seasonal (summer, autumn, winter, and spring) precipitation variability in South America-Chile, and their significant relationship to seasonally aggregated gridded data and climatic indices. Applying exhaustive data quality control measures to data from 238 rain gauges with different lengths of records between 1893 and 2013, a new data set was created with the objective of obtaining reliable records for further analysis. A comprehensive analysis through empirical orthogonal functions (EOF) allowed for determination of the leading modes of annual and seasonal precipitation and their main spatial patterns for the whole country. The percentage of explained variance in the relationship between seasonally aggregated indices and the leading modes of precipitation confirmed that most of the interannual and winter precipitation variability in Chile is linked to the seasonal aggregation of El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO). The leading modes of summer, autumn, and spring precipitation were mostly linked to seasonal aggregations of the Madden and Julian Oscillation (MJO), and the Antarctic Oscillation (AAO).

This pattern of size structuring is a conservative trait of community organization and is a product of processes that occur at multiple spatial and temporal scales. In this study, we assessed whether body size patterns serve as an indicator of a threshold between alternative regimes. Over the past 7000 years, the biological communities of Foy Lake (Montana, USA) have undergone a major regime shift owing to climate change. We used a palaeoecological record of diatom communities to estimate diatom sizes, and then analysed the discontinuous distribution of organism sizes over time. We used Bayesian classification and regression tree models to determine that all time intervals exhibited aggregations of sizes separated by gaps in the distribution and found a significant change in diatom body size distributions approximately 150 years before the identified ecosystem regime shift. We suggest that discontinuity analysis is a useful addition to the suite of tools for the detection of early warning signals of regime shifts.

Although SrTiO3 requires ultraviolet light, after four decades, it is still the "gold standard" for the photo-catalytic splitting of water. It is chemically robust and can carry out both hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions without an applied bias. While ultrahigh vacuum surface science techniques have provided useful insights, we still know relatively little about the structure of these electrodes in contact with electrolytes under operating conditions. Here, we report the surface structure evolution of a n-SrTiO3 electrode during water splitting, before and after "training" with an applied positive bias. Operando high-energy X-ray reflectivity measurements demonstrate that training the electrode irreversibly reorders the surface. Scanning electrochemical microscopy at open circuit correlates this training with a 3-fold increase of the activity toward the photo-induced water splitting. A novel first-principles joint density functional theory simulation, constrained to the X-ray data via a generalized penalty function, identifies an anatase-like structure as the more active, trained surface.

TI Projected asymmetric response of Adelie penguins to Antarctic climate change SO SCIENTIFIC REPORTS LA English DT Article ID SEA-LEVEL RISE; PENINSULA REGION; WEST ANTARCTICA; ICE; VARIABILITY; POPULATION; COLONIES; HABITAT; TRENDS AB The contribution of climate change to shifts in a species' geographic distribution is a critical and often unresolved ecological question. Climate change in Antarctica is asymmetric, with cooling in parts of the continent and warming along the West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP). The Adelie penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae) is a circumpolar meso-predator exposed to the full range of Antarctic climate and is undergoing dramatic population shifts coincident with climate change. We used true presence-absence data on Adelie penguin breeding colonies to estimate past and future changes in habitat suitability during the chick-rearing period based on historic satellite observations and future climate model projections. During the contemporary period, declining Adelie penguin populations experienced more years with warm sea surface temperature compared to populations that are increasing. Based on this relationship, we project that one-third of current Adelie penguin colonies, representing similar to 20% of their current population, may be in decline by 2060. However, climate model projections suggest refugia may exist in continental Antarctica beyond 2099, buffering species-wide declines. Climate change impacts on penguins in the Antarctic will likely be highly site specific based on regional climate trends, and a southward contraction in the range of Adelie penguins is likely over the next century.

This surface geostrophic ("thermal wind") shear can balance a portion of the surface wind stress, altering the classic Ekman response to wind forcing. Here we show that these frontal effects cannot be ignored in the Tropics or in strong frontal regions in the extratropics, such as found in coastal regions and in western boundary currents of all basins. Frontal effects also dominate the classic Ekman response in the regions of both hemispheres where Trade winds change to westerlies. Implications for vertical motion and global heat transport are discussed. C1 [Cronin, Meghan F.] NOAA, Pacific Marine Environm Lab, 7600 Sand Point Way Ne, Seattle, WA 98115 USA.

However, during the boreal summer of 2014, the Bjerknes feedback failed to kick in, aided and abetted by a strong easterly wind burst. The widely anticipated major 2014-2015 El Nino event failed to materialize and even failed to qualify as an El Nino by conventional definitions. However, the boreal summer easterly wind burst had the effect of not only inhibiting the growth of the El Nino event but also preventing and then reversing the discharge of the equatorial heat content that typically occurs during the course of an El Nino event. This head start of equatorial heat content helped push the 2015-2016 El Nino event to extreme magnitude. C1 [Levine, Aaron F. Z.; McPhaden, Michael J.] NOAA, PMEL, Seattle, WA 98115 USA.

Twenty-nine years of measurements show little change in seasonal mean land sector CH4 enhancements, despite an increase in annual mean temperatures of 1.2 +/- 0.8 degrees C/decade (2s). The record does reveal small increases in CH4 enhancements in November and December after 2010 due to increased late-season emissions. The lack of significant long-term trends suggests that more complex biogeochemical processes are counteracting the observed short-term (monthly) temperature sensitivity of 5.0 +/- 3.6 ppb CH4/degrees C. Our results suggest that even the observed short-term temperature sensitivity from the Arctic will have little impact on the global atmospheric CH4 budget in the long term if future trajectories evolve with the same temperature sensitivity.

TI High-frequency gravity waves and homogeneous ice nucleation in tropical tropopause layer cirrus SO GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS LA English DT Article ID CLOUD FORMATION; GLASSY AEROSOLS; NUMBER DENSITY; WATER-VAPOR; TEMPERATURE; FLUCTUATIONS; SIMULATIONS; TRANSPORT; DYNAMICS; ROLES AB The impact of high-frequency gravity waves on homogeneous-freezing ice nucleation in cold cirrus clouds is examined using parcel model simulations driven by superpressure balloon measurements of temperature variability experienced by air parcels in the tropical tropopause region. We find that the primary influence of high-frequency waves is to generate rapid cooling events that drive production of numerous ice crystals. Quenching of ice nucleation events by temperature tendency reversal in the highest-frequency waves does occasionally produce low ice concentrations, but the overall impact of high-frequency waves is to increase the occurrence of high ice concentrations. The simulated ice concentrations are considerably higher than indicated by in situ measurements of cirrus in the tropical tropopause region. One-dimensional simulations suggest that although sedimentation reduces mean ice concentrations, a discrepancy of about a factor of 3 with observed ice concentrations remains. Reconciliation of numerical simulations with the observed ice concentrations will require inclusion of physical processes such as heterogeneous nucleation and entrainment.

Measurements performed over a range of relative humidities and pressures were compared to detailed model calculations treating coupled heat and mass transfer occurring during photoacoustic laser heating cycles. The strengths and weaknesses of this technique are very different to those for droplet growth/evaporation experiments that have typically been applied to these measurements, making this a useful complement to existing studies. Our measurements provide robust evidence that a(M) is greater than 0.1 for all humidities tested and greater than 0.3 for data obtained at relative humidities greater than 88% where the aerosol surface was most like pure water. These values of a(M) are above the threshold at which kinetic limitations are expected to impact the activation and growth of aerosol particles in warm cloud formation.

A satisfactory explanation for the unexpected pH dependence of electrochemical properties of platinum surfaces has so far remained elusive, with previous explanations resorting to complex co-adsorption of multiple species and resulting in limited predictive power. This knowledge gap suggests that the fundamental properties of these catalysts are not yet understood, limiting systematic improvement. Here, we analyze the change in charge and free energies upon adsorption using density-functional theory (DFT) to establish that water adsorbs on platinum step edges across a wide voltage range, including the double-layer region, with a loss of approximately 0.2 electrons upon adsorption. We show how this as-yet unreported change in net surface charge due to this water explains the anomalous pH variations of the hydrogen underpotential deposition (H-upd) and the potentials of zero total charge (PZTC) observed in published experimental data. This partial oxidation of water is not limited to platinum metal step edges, and we report the charge of the water on metal step edges of commonly used catalytic metals, including copper, silver, iridium, and palladium, illustrating that this partial oxidation of water broadly influences the reactivity of metal electrodes.

When cast as thin films, crystalline pi-conjugated molecules are strongly textured, potentially leading to anisotropic charge transport. Consequently, it is hypothesized that the orientation of crystallites in the active layer plays an important role in charge extraction and organic photovoltaic device performance. Here we demonstrate orientation control of molecular packing from mostly face-on to edge-on configurations in the active layer of P3HT-b-PFTBT block copolymer photovoltaics using 1-chloronaphthalene as a solvent additive. The effect of molecular orientations in P3HT crystals on charge transport and solar cell performance is examined. We find that optimized photovoltaic device performance is independent of the crystalline texture of P3HT. Our observations provide further insights into the molecular organization required for efficient charge transport and overall device efficiencies. The dominant crystal orientation, whether face-on or edge-on, is not critical to block copolymer solar cells. Instead, a broad distribution of crystallite orientations ensures pathways for charge transport in any direction and enables efficient charge extraction in photovoltaic devices.

TI Spin-wave localization in tangentially magnetized films SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID DOT ARRAYS AB We present an analytical description of localized spin-wave modes that form in a parabolic field minimum in a thin ferromagnetic film. Mode profiles proportional to Hermite functions are eigenfuctions of the applied field and exchange parts of the equations of motion, and also provide a basis for numerical approximation of magnetostatic interactions. We find that the spin-wave modes are roughly equally spaced in frequency and have roughly equal coupling to a uniform driving field. The calculated mode frequencies and corresponding profiles of localized spin-wave modes are in good agreement with micromagnetic modeling and previously published experimental results on multiple resonances from a series of localized modes detected by ferromagnetic resonance force microscopy.

TI Solitary Magnons in the S=5/2 Antiferromagnet CaFe2O4 SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article ID INTRINSIC LOCALIZED MODES; FIELD ISING-MODEL; DISCRETE BREATHERS; NONLINEAR LATTICES; CALCIUM FERRITE; SOLITONS; DIFFRACTION; SYSTEMS; ORDER; CHAIN AB CaFe2O4 is a S = 5/2 anisotropic antiferromagnet based upon zig-zag chains having two competing magnetic structures, denoted as the A (up arrow up arrow down arrow down arrow) and B (up arrow down arrow up arrow down arrow) phases, which differ by the c-axis stacking of ferromagnetic stripes. We apply neutron scattering to demonstrate that the competing A and B phase order parameters result in magnetic antiphase boundaries along c which freeze on the time scale of similar to 1 ns at the onset of magnetic order at 200 K. Using high resolution neutron spectroscopy, we find quantized spin wave levels and measure 9 such excitations localized in regions similar to 1-2 c-axis lattice constants in size. We discuss these in the context of solitary magnons predicted to exist in anisotropic systems. The magnetic anisotropy affords both competing A + B orders as well as localization of spin excitations in a classical magnet.

This field study examined the growth response of the damselfish Neopomacentrus bankieri to the individual and combined effects of multiple abiotic factors. Turbidity, temperature, tidal movement, and wave action were recorded every 10 minutes for four months, after which the daily otolith growth of N. bankieri was aligned with corresponding abiotic conditions. Temperature was the only significant driver of daily otolith increment width, with increasing temperatures resulting in decreasing width. Although tidal movement was not a significant driver of increment width by itself, the combined effect of tidal movement and temperature had a greater negative effect on growth than temperature alone. Our results indicate that temperature can drive changes in growth even at very fine scales, and demonstrate that the cumulative impact of abiotic factors can be substantially greater than individual effects. As abiotic factors continue to change in intensity and duration, the combined impacts of them will become increasingly important drivers of physiological and ecological change.

In that work, phase matching was analyzed by assuming that the total energy, spin angular momentum and linear momentum of the photons participating in the process are conserved. Here we propose a new perspective on phase matching of circularly polarized high harmonics. We derive an extended phase matching condition by requiring a new propagation matching condition between the classical vectorial bi-chromatic laser pump and harmonics fields. This allows us to include the influence of the laser pulse envelopes on phase matching. We find that the helicity dependent phase matching facilitates generation of high harmonics beams with a high degree of chirality. Indeed, we present an experimentally measured chiral spectrum that can support a train of attosecond pulses with a high degree of circular polarization. Moreover, while the degree of circularity of the most intense pulse approaches unity, all other pulses exhibit reduced circularity. This feature suggests the possibility of using a train of attosecond pulses as an isolated attosecond probe for chiral-sensitive experiments.

TI Continuous-feed optical sorting of aerosol particles SO OPTICS EXPRESS LA English DT Article ID SINGLE-BEAM; MANIPULATION; FORCE; WAVE; NANOPARTICLES; SEPARATION; SCATTERING; DROPLETS; TRAPS; MODEL AB We consider the problem of sorting, by size, spherical particles of order 100 nm radius. The scheme we analyze consists of a heterogeneous stream of spherical particles flowing at an oblique angle across an optical Gaussian mode standing wave. Sorting is achieved by the combined spatial and size dependencies of the optical force. Particles of all sizes enter the flow at a point, but exit at different locations depending on size. Exiting particles may be detected optically or separated for further processing. The scheme has the advantages of accommodating a high throughput, producing a continuous stream of continuously dispersed particles, and exhibiting excellent size resolution. We performed detailed Monte Carlo simulations of particle trajectories through the optical field under the influence of convective air flow. We also developed a method for deriving effective velocities and diffusion constants from the Fokker-Planck equation that can generate equivalent results much more quickly. With an optical wavelength of 1064 nm, polystyrene particles with radii in the neighborhood of 275 nm, for which the optical force vanishes, may be sorted with a resolution below 1 nm. C1 [Curry, J.

TI Microresonator Brillouin laser stabilization using a microfabricated rubidium cell SO OPTICS EXPRESS LA English DT Article ID OPTICAL FREQUENCY COMBS; GALLERY MODE RESONATOR; SEMICONDUCTOR-LASER; RAMAN LASER; CHIP; MICROCAVITY; COMPACT; SILICON; NOISE; GENERATION AB We frequency stabilize the output of a miniature stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) laser to rubidium atoms in a microfabricated cell to realize a laser system with frequency stability at the 10(-11) level over seven decades in averaging time. In addition, our system has the advantages of robustness, low cost and the potential for integration that would lead to still further miniaturization. The SBS laser operating at 1560 nm exhibits a spectral linewidth of 820 Hz, but its frequency drifts over a few MHz on the 1 hour timescale. By locking the second harmonic of the SBS laser to the Rb reference, we reduce this drift by a factor of 10(3) to the level of a few kHz over the course of an hour. For our combined SBS and Rb laser system, we measure a frequency noise of 4 x 10(4) Hz(2)/Hz at 10 Hz offset frequency which rapidly rolls off to a level of 0.2 Hz(2)/Hz at 100 kHz offset. The corresponding Allan deviation is <= 2 x 10(-11) for averaging times spanning 10(-4) to 10(3) s. By optically dividing the signal of the laser down to microwave frequencies, we generate an RF signal at 2 GHz with phase noise at the level of -76 dBc/Hz and -140 dBc/Hz at offset frequencies of 10 Hz and 10 kHz, respectively.

High-throughput through-focus scanning optical microscopy (TSOM) demonstrates promise for such applications. TSOM uses a conventional optical microscope for 3-D shape metrology by making use of the complete set of through- focus, four-dimensional optical data. However, a systematic study showing the effect of various parameters on the TSOM method is lacking. Here we present the optimization of the basic parameters such as illumination numerical aperture (NA), collection NA, focus step height, digital camera pixel size, illumination polarization, and illumination wavelength to achieve peak performance of the TSOM method.

TI Ameridional dipole in premonsoon Bay of Bengal tropical cyclone activity induced by ENSO SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-ATMOSPHERES LA English DT Article ID SEA-SURFACE TEMPERATURE; TROPOSPHERIC TEMPERATURE; INDIAN MONSOON; INTENSITY; INTENSIFICATION; SIMULATION; DYNAMICS; MYANMAR AB Analysis of Bay of Bengal tropical cyclone (TC) track data for the months of May-June during 1979-2014 reveals a meridional dipole in TC intensification: TC intensification rates increased significantly in the northern region and decreased in the southern region. The dipole is consistent with changes in the large-scale TC environment estimated using the Genesis Potential Index (GPI) for the same period. While an increase in lower troposphere cyclonic vorticity and midtroposphere humidity in the northern Bay of Bengal made the environment more favorable for TC intensification, enhanced vertical wind shear in the southern Bay of Bengal tended to reduce TC development. These environmental changes were associated with a strengthening of the monsoon circulation for the months of May-June, driven by a La Nina-like shift in tropical Pacific SSTs and associated tropical wave dynamics. Finally, analysis of a suite of climate models from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 archive shows that most models correctly reproduce the link between ENSO and premonsoon Bay of Bengal TC activity at interannual timescales, demonstrating the robustness of our main conclusions.

TI Surface dimming by the 2013 Rim Fire simulated by a sectional aerosol model SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-ATMOSPHERES LA English DT Article ID OPTICAL-PROPERTIES; ORGANIC AEROSOL; SMOKE; EMISSIONS; EVOLUTION; AIRCRAFT; CARBON; CLOUDS AB The Rim Fire of 2013, the third largest area burned by fire recorded in California history, is simulated by a climate model coupled with a size-resolved aerosol model. Modeled aerosol mass, number, and particle size distribution are within variability of data obtained from multiple-airborne in situ measurements. Simulations suggest that Rim Fire smoke may block 4-6% of sunlight energy reaching the surface, with a dimming efficiency around 120-150Wm(-2) per unit aerosol optical depth in the midvisible at13:00-15:00 local time. Underestimation of simulated smoke single scattering albedo at midvisible by 0.04 suggests that the model overestimates either the particle size or the absorption due to black carbon. This study shows that exceptional events like the 2013 Rim Fire can be simulated by a climate model with 1 degrees resolution with overall good skill, although that resolution is still not sufficient to resolve the smoke peak near the source region.

As part of the DUST Aging and Transport from Africa to the Caribbean (Dust-ATTACk) intensive field campaign, the size distribution and optical properties of mineral dust were measured in June-July 2012 on the east coast of Puerto Rico, more than 5000 km from the west coast of Africa. During the recorded dust events, the PM10 (particulate matter 10 micrometers or less in diameter) concentrations increased from 20 to 70 mu gm(-3). Remote sensing observations and modeling analysis were used to identify the main source regions, which were found in the Western Sahara, Mauritania, Algeria, Niger, and Mali. The microphysical and optical properties of the dust plumes were almost independent of origin. The size distribution of mineral dust after long-range transport may have modal diameters similar to those on the eastern side of the Atlantic short time after emission, possibly depending on height of transport. Additional submicron particles of anthropogenic absorbing aerosols (likely from regional marine traffic activities) can be mixed within the dust plumes, without affecting in a significant way the PM10 absorption properties of dust observed in Puerto Rico. The Dust-ATTACk experimental data set may be useful for modeling the direct radiative effect of dust. For accurate representation of dust optical properties over the Atlantic remote marine region, we recommend mass extinction efficiency (MEE) and single- scattering albedo values in the range 1.1-.5m(2)g(-1) and 0.97-0.98, respectively, for visible wavelengths.

TI Changes in precipitating snow chemistry with location and elevation in the California Sierra Nevada SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-ATMOSPHERES LA English DT Article ID CLOUD CONDENSATION NUCLEI; SPRAY AEROSOL-PARTICLES; MINERAL DUST PARTICLES; HIGH-ALTITUDE SITE; NITRIC-ACID; OROGRAPHIC PRECIPITATION; HETEROGENEOUS CHEMISTRY; INDIVIDUAL PARTICLES; CHEMICAL-COMPOSITION; PARTICULATE MATTER AB Orographic snowfall in the Sierra Nevada Mountains is an important source of water for California and can vary significantly on an annual basis. The microphysical properties of orographic clouds and subsequent formation of precipitation are impacted, in part, by aerosols of varying size, number, and chemical composition, which are incorporated into clouds formed along the Sierra barrier. Herein, the physicochemical properties and sources of insoluble residues and soluble ions found in precipitation samples were explored for three sites of variable elevation in the Sierra Nevada during the 2012-2013 winter season. Residues were characterized using a suite of physicochemical techniques to determine the size-resolved number concentrations and associated chemical composition. A transition in the aerosol sources that served as cloud seeds or were scavenged in-cloud and below-cloud was observed as a function of location and elevation. Anthropogenic influence from the Central Valley was dominant at the two lowest elevation sites (1900 and 2200mabovemean sea level (AMSL)), whereas long-range transportedmineral dust was a larger contributor at the highest elevation site where cleaner conditions were observed (2600m AMSL). The residues and soluble ions observed provide insight into how multiple aerosol sources can impact cloud and precipitation formation processes, even over relatively small spatial scales. The transition with increasing elevation to aerosols that serve as ice nucleating particlesmay impact the properties and extent of snowfall in remotemountain regions where snowpack provides a vital supply of water.
