It is found that the hematite domain size can be tuned from similar to 10 nm to over 100 nm by adjusting the sputtering atmosphere from more oxidative to mostly inert. The better crystallinity at a larger domain size ensures excellent PEC water splitting performance, leading to record high photocurrent from pure planar hematite thin films on FTO substrates. Titanium doping further enhances the PEC performance of hematite photoanodes. The photocurrent is improved by 50%, with a titanium dopant concentration as low as 0.5 atom%. It is also found that the role of the titanium dopant in improving the PEC performance is not apparently related to the films' electrical conductivity which had been widely believed, but is more likely due to the passivation of surface defects by the titanium dopants.

TI Antisite defects in layered multiferroic CuCr0.9In0.1P2S6 SO NANOSCALE LA English DT Article ID NANOSHEETS; CUINP2S6; DOPANT AB The CuCr1-xInxP2S6 system represents a large family of metal chalcogenophosphates that are unique and promising candidates for 2D materials with functionalities such as ferroelectricity. In this work, we carried out detailed microstructural and chemical characterization of these compounds using aberration-corrected STEM, in order to understand the origin of these different ordering phenomena. Quantitative STEM-HAADF imaging and analysis identified the stacking order of an 8-layer thin flake, which leads to the identification of anti-site In3+(Cu+) doping. We believe that these findings will pave the way towards understanding the ferroic coupling phenomena in van der Waals lamellar compounds, as well as their potential applications in 2-D electronics.

We report experiments and modeling of ionic current in aprotic solvents with different dipole moments through conically shaped nanopores in a polycarbonate film and through glass nanopipettes. We focus on solutions of the salt LiClO4, which is of great importance in modeling lithium based batteries. Results presented suggest ion current rectification observed results from two effects: (i) adsorption of Li+ ions to the pore walls, and (ii) a finite dipole moment rendered by adsorbed solvent molecules. Properties of surfaces in various solvents were probed by means of scanning ion conductance microscopy, which confirmed existence of an effectively positive surface potential in aprotic solvents with high dipole moments.

One such promising semiconductor is zinc tin phosphide (ZnSnP2). We report the synthesis of ZnSnP2 nanowires via a solution-liquid-solid mechanism utilizing metallic zinc and tin in decomposing trioctylphosphine (TOP). Dried films of the reaction product are purified of binary phosphide phases by annealing at 345 degrees C. Tin is removed using a 0.1 M nitric acid treatment leaving pure ZnSnP2 nanowires. Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy indicates ZnSnP2 has a direct bandgap energy of 1.24 eV which is optimal for solar cell applications. Using a photoelectrochemical cell, we demonstrate cathodic photocurrent generation at open circuit conditions from the ZnSnP2 nanowires upon solar simulated illumination confirming p-type conductivity.

Several efforts to develop techniques or to modify existing techniques to study such interfaces are showing great promise to overcome this challenge. Successful examples include electrochemical scanning tunneling microscopy (EC-STM), surface-sensitive vibrational spectroscopies, environmental transmission electron microscopy (E-TEM), and surface X-ray scattering. Other techniques such as X-ray core-level spectroscopies are element-specific and chemical-state-specific, and are being widely applied in materials science research. Herein we showcase four types of newly developed strategies to probe electrode/electrolyte interfaces in situ with X-ray core-level spectroscopies. These include the standing wave approach, the meniscus approach, and two liquid cell approaches based on X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy. These examples demonstrate that with proper modifications, many ultra-high-vacuum based techniques can be adapted to study buried electrode/electrolyte interfaces and provide interface-sensitive, element- and chemical-state-specific information, such as solute distribution, hydrogen-bonding network, and molecular reorientation. At present, each method has its own specific limitations, but all of them enable in situ and operando characterization of electrode/electrolyte interfaces that can provide important insights into a variety of electrochemical systems.

TI Measurement and modelling of reactive transport in geological barriers for nuclear waste containment SO PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY CHEMICAL PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID PORE-NETWORK MODELS; MONTE-CARLO SIMULATIONS; OPALINUS CLAY; POROUS-MEDIA; COMPACTED BENTONITE; ARGILLACEOUS ROCKS; MESOSCALE FRACTURE; PERCOLATION THEORY; MULTIPHASE FLOW; HUMIC-ACID AB Compacted clays are considered as excellent candidates for barriers to radionuclide transport in future repositories for nuclear waste due to their very low hydraulic permeability. Diffusion is the dominant transport mechanism, controlled by a nano-scale pore system. Assessment of the clays' long-term containment function requires adequate modelling of such pore systems and their evolution. Existing characterisation techniques do not provide complete pore space information for effective modelling, such as pore and throat size distributions and connectivity. Special network models for reactive transport are proposed here using the complimentary character of the pore space and the solid phase. This balances the insufficient characterisation information and provides the means for future mechanical-physical-chemical coupling. The anisotropy and heterogeneity of clays is represented using different length parameters and percentage of pores in different directions. Resulting networks are described as mathematical graphs with efficient discrete calculus formulation of transport. Opalinus Clay (OPA) is chosen as an example. Experimental data for the tritiated water (HTO) and U(VI) diffusion through OPA are presented. Calculated diffusion coefficients of HTO and uranium species are within the ranges of the experimentally determined data in different clay directions. This verifies the proposed pore network model and validates that uranium complexes are diffusing as neutral species in OPA. In the case of U(VI) diffusion the method is extended to account for sorption and convection. Rather than changing pore radii by coarse grained mathematical formula, physical sorption is simulated in each pore, which is more accurate and realistic.

TI Interplay between solid state transitions, conductivity mechanisms, and electrical relaxations in a [PVBTMA] [Br]-b-PMB diblock copolymer membrane for electrochemical applications SO PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY CHEMICAL PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID ANION-EXCHANGE MEMBRANES; IMPROVED IONIC-CONDUCTIVITY; ALKALINE FUEL-CELLS; WATER; SPECTROSCOPY; POLYSTYRENE; HYDROXIDE; NAFION; POLY(ETHER-IMIDE); POLYETHYLENE AB Understanding the structure-property relationships and the phenomena responsible for ion conduction is one of the keys in the design of novel ionomers with improved properties. In this report, the morphology and the mechanism of ion exchange in a model anion exchange membrane (AEM), poly(vinyl benzyl trimethyl ammonium bromide)-block-poly(methylbutylene) ([PVBTMA][Br]-b-PMB), is investigated with small angle X-ray scattering, high-resolution thermogravimetry, modulated differential scanning calorimetry, dynamic mechanical analysis, and broadband electrical spectroscopy. The hyper-morphology of the material consists of hydrophilic domains characterized by stacked sides of [PVBTMA][Br] which are sandwiched between "spaghetti-like'' hydrophobic cylindrical parallel domains of the PMB block. The most important interactions in the hydrophilic domains occur between the dipoles of ammonium bromide ion pairs in the side chains of adjacent chains. A reordering of the ion pair dipoles is responsible for a disorder-order transition (T-delta) at high temperature, observed here for the first time in AEMs, which results in a dramatic decrease of the ionic conductivity. The overall mechanism of long range charge transfer, deduced from a congruent picture of all of the results, involves two distinct ion conduction pathways. In these pathways, hydration and the motion of the ionic side groups are crucial to the conductivity of the AEM. Unlike the typical perfluorinated sulfonated proton-conducting polymer, the segmental motion of the backbone is negligible.

Time-resolved transient absorption and steady state fluorescence were used to determine fractions of excitons that reach the end caps. In order to accurately determine the singlet diffusion coefficient, the fraction of polymer ends that have end traps was determined through a combination of NMR and triplet quenching experiments. The distributions of polymer lengths were also taken into account and the resulting analysis points to a surprisingly long singlet diffusion length of 34 nm. Experiments on triplet transport also suggest that the entire 100nm+ chain is accessible to the triplet during its lifetime suggesting a lack of hindrance by defects or traps on this timescale. Time Resolved Microwave Conductivity measurements were also performed on a series of different length oligo-and polyfluorenes in solution allowing a global fit to be performed to extract an accurate intrachain mobility of 1.1 cm(2)/Vs.

Rigorous self-assembly approaches are used to prepare aggregate nanofibers that permit reliable control of polymer chain conformational and packing (intra-and interchain) order within these structures. Exciton coupling can be tuned between the H-and J-aggregate limits, which has important implications for determining the fates of excitons and polarons. Single molecule intensity modulation spectroscopy was performed on individual nanofibers and large quenching depths of emissive singlet excitons by triplets are found in J-aggregate type structures. We propose that high intrachain order leads to exciton delocalization that effectively lowers singlet-triplet energy splittings thus increasing triplet yields. Exciton-polaron and polaron-polaron interactions are next investigated in both H-and J-type nanofibers where polarons are injected by charge transfer doping. We find that the enhanced intrachain order of J-aggregates enables efficient intrachain polaron transport and leads to significantly larger doping efficiencies than less ordered H-aggregates. As polaron densities increase, signatures of spin-spin interactions between polarons on adjacent chains become appreciable leading to the formation of a spinless bipolaron. Overall, these studies demonstrate the potential for controlling and directing exciton and polaron interactions via tuning of subtle intra-and interchain ordering characteristics of aggregates, which could benefit various polymeric optoelectronic applications.

We have recently synthesized two novel carbazole-based donor-acceptor compounds and analyzed their optical properties to determine their suitability for use as blue emitters in OLEDs. These compounds show remarkable photo-stability and high quantum yields in the blue region of the spectrum. In addition, they have highly solvatochromic emission. In non-polar solvents, bright, blue-shifted (lambda(max) approximate to 398 nm), and highly structured emission is seen. With increasing solvent dielectric constant, the emission becomes weaker, red-shifted (lambda(max) approximate to 507 nm), and broad. We aim to determine the underlying cause of these changes. Electronic structure calculations indicate the presence of multiple excited states with comparable oscillator strength. These states are of interest because there are several with charge-transfer (CT) character, and others centered on the donor moiety. We theorize that CT states play a role in the observed changes in emission lineshape and may promote charge mobility for electrofluorescence in OLEDs. In the future, we plan to use Stark spectroscopy to analyze the polarity of excited states and transient absorption spectroscopy to observe the dynamics in the excited state.

The superlinear increase of phi Sigma mu for the P3HT/TiOPc bilayer, compared to the phi Sigma mu sum of each P3HT and TiOPc layer suggest photoinduced carrier-generation. Furthermore, the superlinear increase of phi Sigma mu of the P3HT/TiOPc/C-60 trilayer with respect to the each P3HT/TiOPc and TiOPc/C-60 charge-bilayers evinces charge migration from one interface to the other interface. In addition, with selective photoexcitation on the P3HT layer, both amorphous and H-aggregated P3HT domains participate in electron transfer ([P3HT*/TiOPc]->[P3HT(center dot+)/TiOPc center dot-]), contrasting to the previous observation where with selective excitation of the TiOPc layer, only the H-aggregated P3HT domain involves in hole transfer ([P3HT/TiOPc*]->[P3HT(center dot+)/TiOPc center dot-]) to produce P3HT(center dot+)/TiOPc center dot- in J. Phys. Chem. B 119(24), 7729-7739 (2015). These results under different excitation conditions are consistent with calculated energetic driving force (Delta E-CS) for charge generation which is -0.58 eV and -0.73 eV for amorphous and H-aggregated P3HT domains under the P3HT layer excitation, while 0.04 eV and -0.11 eV for amorphous and H-aggregated P3HT domains under the TiOPc layer excitation.

Applying data analytics to improve agricultural productivity involves a number of challenges in collecting, processing, and packaging data and findings in ways to provide practical tool for use by farmers and the food supply cahin. To meet the growing demand for agricultural products despite the impacts of climate change and the limited availability of additional agricultural lands, it will be necessary to adopt climate-smart agriculture. Developments in improving the capability of the agricultural sector to withstand the productivity and economic impacts of drought are becoming more critical and require capacity to monitor regional and national soil moisture content. A global drought monitoring framework is being developed by scientists to integrate continental and regional drought monitoring. Another critical element of food security is food safety throughout the food processing and distribution supply chain. Risk assessment and cost/benefit analysis can be used to evaluate pathogen interventions in the food supply chain, then used to set priorities and targets for specific foodborne illnesses. However, concerns about data ownership and control, especially affecting potential privacy issues, will likely need attention throughout the food supply chain. The informatics community is in a prime position to develop robust and productive approaches to helping assure that society improves worldwide food security by insightful application of big data.

However, determining critical features in datasets that consist of a large number of features is still a challenge. In this article, through a series of carefully designed experiments on real-world datasets, we investigate the performance of different dimension reduction techniques, ranging from feature subset selection to methods that transform the features into a lower dimensional space. We also discuss methods that calculate the intrinsic dimensionality of a dataset in order to understand the reduced dimension. Using several evaluation strategies, we show how these different methods can provide useful insights into the data. These comparisons enable us to provide guidance to users on the selection of a technique for their dataset.

It is not just a theoretical line of research, but an immensely practical one that is necessary to achieve high performance for large parallel discrete event simulations (PDES). The models that are implemented for PDES are of increasing complexity and size and require various language features to support abstraction, encapsulation, and composition when building a simulation model. In this paper we focus on parallel simulation models that are written in C++ and present an approach for automatically generating reverse code for C++. The strategy we have adopted for our approach is to first assure that we can correctly handle event methods that use the entire C++ language. Although a significant runtime overhead is introduced with our technique, the assurance that the reverse code is always generated fully automatically is an enormous win that can open the door to routine optimistic simulation with models that can be implemented using the entire C++ language.

TI Solid-state graphene formation via a nickel carbide intermediate phase SO RSC ADVANCES LA English DT Article ID HIGH-QUALITY; CARBON; FILMS; GROWTH; UNIFORM; NI3C AB Direct formation of graphene with a controlled number of graphitic layers on dielectric surfaces is highly desired for practical applications but still challenging. Distinguished from the conventional chemical vapor deposition methods, a solid-state rapid thermal processing (RTP) method can achieve high-quality graphene formation on dielectric surfaces without transfer. However, little research is available to elucidate the graphene growth mechanism in the RTP method (heating rate similar to 15 degrees C s(-1)). Here we show a solid-state transformation mechanism in which a metastable nickel carbide (Ni3C) intermediate phase plays a critical role in transforming amorphous carbon to two dimensional crystalline graphene and contributing to the autonomous Ni evaporation in the RTP process. The formation, migration and decomposition of Ni3C are confirmed to be responsible for graphene formation and Ni evaporation. The Ni3C-assisted graphene formation mechanism expands the understanding of Ni-catalyzed graphene formation and provides insightful guidance for controlled growth of graphene through the solid-state transformation process.

Decentralized renewable energy (RE) minigrids, particularly solar photovoltaic (PV) minigrids, can cost-effectively electrify a large share of currently unelectrified rural populations. But the cost of using appliances with this electricity is still much higher than what the poor can afford without deep subsidies. This affordability gap stunts the sustainability and growth of RE minigrids. Significant improvements in the economics of supplying electricity with minigrids, combined with higher-efficiency appliances, are needed to reduce the effective cost of using electricity in decentralized RE minigrids. These would bridge the affordability gap and improve business opportunities and value to users, investors, and service providers and thus create market-driven expansion to overcome the acute lack of funding that they currently face. Technology breakthroughs that can help in this respect include (a) significantly cheaper solar PV components to reduce up-front costs of solar PV minigrids; (b) significantly more affordable and energy-efficient appliances; (c) better-performing bulk storage at a significantly lower cost; (d) affordable and easy-to-use grid management solutions, and (e) a utility in a box for a simpler, cheaper, and faster way to set up minigrids.

We investigated the composition and diversity of fungal communities over the Amazon rainforest canopy and compared these communities to fungal communities found in terrestrial environments. We characterized the total fungal community and the metabolically active portion of the community using high-throughput DNA and RNA sequencing and compared these data to predictions generated by a mass-balance model. We found that the total community was primarily comprised of fungi from the phylum Basidiomycota. In contrast, the active community was primarily composed of members of the phylum Ascomycota and included a high relative abundance of lichen fungi, which were not detected in the total community. The relative abundance of Basidiomycota and Ascomycota in the total and active communities was consistent with our model predictions, suggesting that this result was driven by the relative size and number of spores produced by these groups. When compared to other environments, fungal communities in the atmosphere were most similar to communities found in tropical soils and leaf surfaces. Our results demonstrate that there are significant differences in the composition of the total and active fungal communities in the atmosphere, and that lichen fungi, which have been shown to be efficient ice nucleators, may be abundant members of active atmospheric fungal communities over the forest canopy.

TI Representing northern peatland microtopography and hydrology within the Community Land Model SO BIOGEOSCIENCES LA English DT Article ID WATER-TABLE DEPTH; CLIMATE-CHANGE; RAISED BOG; MOISTURE CONDITIONS; CENTRAL MINNESOTA; SPHAGNUM MOSSES; CARBON BALANCE; WETLAND; FLUXES; SOIL AB Predictive understanding of northern peatland hydrology is a necessary precursor to understanding the fate of massive carbon stores in these systems under the influence of present and future climate change. Current models have begun to address microtopographic controls on peatland hydrology, but none have included a prognostic calculation of peatland water table depth for a vegetated wetland, independent of prescribed regional water tables. We introduce here a new configuration of the Community Land Model (CLM) which includes a fully prognostic water table calculation for a vegetated peatland. Our structural and process changes to CLM focus on modifications needed to represent the hydrologic cycle of bogs environment with perched water tables, as well as distinct hydrologic dynamics and vegetation communities of the raised hummock and sunken hollow microtopography characteristic of peatland bogs. The modified model was parameterized and independently evaluated against observations from an ombrotrophic raised-dome bog in northern Minnesota (S1-Bog), the site for the Spruce and Peatland Responses Under Climatic and Environmental Change experiment (SPRUCE). Simulated water table levels compared well with site-level observations. The new model predicts hydrologic changes in response to planned warming at the SPRUCE site. At present, standing water is commonly observed in bog hollows after large rainfall events during the growing season, but simulations suggest a sharp decrease in water table levels due to increased evapotranspiration under the most extreme warming level, nearly eliminating the occurrence of standing water in the growing season. Simulated soil energy balance was strongly influenced by reduced winter snowpack under warming simulations, with the warming influence on soil temperature partly offset by the loss of insulating snowpack in early and late winter. The new model provides improved predictive capacity for seasonal hydrological dynamics in northern peatlands, and provides a useful foundation for investigation of northern peatland carbon exchange.

Although isoprenoids are most commonly found in plants, researchers have successfully engineered both the eukaryotic and prokaryotic isoprenoid biosynthetic pathways to produce these valuable chemicals in microorganisms at high yields. The microbial synthesis of the precursor to artemisinin-an important antimalarial drug produced from the sweet wormwood Artemisia annua-serves as perhaps the most successful example of this approach. Through advances in synthetic biology and metabolic engineering, microbial-derived semisynthetic artemisinin may soon replace plant-derived artemisinin as the primary source of this valuable pharmaceutical. The richness and diversity of isoprenoid structures also make them ideal candidates for advanced biofuels that may act as "drop-in" replacements for gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. Indeed, the sesquiterpenes farnesene and bisabolene, monoterpenes pinene and limonene, and hemiterpenes isopentenol and isopentanol have been evaluated as fuels or fuel precursors. As in the artemisinin project, these isoprenoids have been produced microbially through synthetic biology and metabolic engineering efforts. Here, we provide a brief review of the numerous isoprenoid compounds that have found use as pharmaceuticals, flavors, commodity chemicals, and, most importantly, advanced biofuels. In each case, we highlight the metabolic engineering strategies that were used to produce these compounds successfully in microbial hosts. In addition, we present a current outlook on microbial isoprenoid production, with an eye towards the many challenges that must be addressed to achieve higher yields and industrial-scale production.

The surface-area-normalized ORR activity of these bi-metallic Pt-on-Pd nanotubes (PtPdNTs) was nearly 6x the corresponding carbon-supported Pt nanoparticle (Pt/C) activity at 0.9 V vs. RHE (1.5 vs. 0.24 mA cm(metal)(-2), respectively). Furthermore, the high specific activity of the PtPdNTs was achieved without sacrificing mass-normalized activity, which is more than twice that of Pt/C (0.333 A mg(PtPdNT)(-1) vs. 0.141 A mg(Pt/C)(-1)) and also greater than that of Pd/C (0.221 A mg(Pt/C)(-1)). We attribute the enhancements in specific and mass activity to modifications of the segregated Pt electronic structure and to nanoscale porosity, respectively.

Reptiles encounter roads during seasonal migrations as well as during daily activities. Some reptiles avoid crossing roads, and others are attracted to them. Many species are prone to population declines due to wildlife-vehicle collision or the barrier effects of roads. Variability in how roads affect different reptiles necessitates a diverse set of management and mitigation tools. Cases of management successes at seasonal hotspots for reptile road crossings exist, but development of best management practices and mitigation techniques has lagged behind those for larger terrestrial vertebrates. 32.1 Many reptiles encounter roads when making seasonal movements, while other species are attracted to roads for foraging, nesting or temperature regulation. 32.2 Most reptiles are poor at evading oncoming vehicles, and many drivers are poor at detecting or avoiding reptiles. 32.3 Turtles, many snakes and some lizards have biological traits that cause their populations to be highly vulnerable to road mortality and barrier effects of roads. 32.4 Because reptiles are cryptic and attract little attention, reptile population declines caused by roads may be frequent but infrequently detected. 32.5 While fencing and crossing structures or periodic road closures can reduce reptile road mortality and maintain habitat connectivity, they rarely mitigate all barrier effects caused by road avoidance. 32.6 Novel approaches for maintaining reptile populations include predictive models of crossing locations for mitigation planning and management of roadside habitat to modify reptile behaviour. Road planners. ecological consultants and wildlife researchers should presume that roads and traffic present a risk to all reptile populations because the behaviour and demography of most species make them susceptible to road mortality and fragmentation. Some risks can be eliminated with proactive management. C1 [Andrews, Kimberly M.] Univ Georgia, Savannah River Ecol Lab, Aiken, SC 29801 USA.

A series of electrochemical measurements of morphologically altered samples, via mechanical milling, was conducted. The measurements indicated that mechanical alternations of the Li2B12H12 morphology makes it an excellent lithium ion conductor in the solid state with exceptional ionic conductivity at room temperature (0.31 mS cm(-1)) and is compatible with a metallic lithium electrode up to 6.0 V. In addition, all solid state half and full electrochemical cells were assembled and successfully cycled using Li2B12H12 as a solid state electrolyte at temperatures as low as 30 degrees C with good capacity retention. The photophysical properties of Li2B12H12 were also investigated. Li2B12H12 has an emission maximum of similar to 460 nm in a variety of solvents with Stokes' shifts up to 175 nm observed. Li2B12H12 was incorporated in a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) thin film to demonstrate its application as a luminescent down-conversion dye in a transparent head-up display when excited by a UV projection source.

However, the conductive bulk usually suffers from the presence of secondary phases and the transition towards a low-conductivity tetragonal phase during synthesis. Dopants are designed to stabilize the high-conductive cubic phase and suppress the formation of the low-conductivity phases. In situ neutron diffraction enables a direct observation of the doping effects by monitoring the phase evolutions during garnet synthesis. It reveals the reaction mechanism involving the temporary presence of intermediate phases. The off-stoichiometry due to the liquid Li2CO3 evaporation leads to the residual of the low-conductivity intermediate phase in the as-synthesized bulk. Appropriate doping of an active element may alter the component of the intermediate phases and promote the completion of the reaction. While the dopants aid to stabilize most of the cubic phase, a small amount of tetragonal phase tends to form under a diffusion process. The in situ observations provide the guideline of process optimization to suppress the formation of unwanted low-conductivity phases.

However, one bottleneck of the anode materials for LIBs is the poor cycling performance caused by the fact that the anodes cannot maintain their integrity over several charge-discharge cycles. In this work, we demonstrate an approach to improving the cycling performance of lithium-ion battery anodes by constructing an extended 3D network of flexible redox active polyoxometalate (POM) clusters with redox active organic linkers, herein described as POMOF. This architecture enables the accommodation of large volume changes during cycling at relatively high current rates. For example, the POMOF anode exhibits a high reversible capacity of 540 mA h g(-1) after 360 cycles at a current rate of 0.25C and a long cycle life at a current rate of 1.25C (>500 cycles).

An attractive way to achieve local field enhancement is the use of metamaterials with dark resonators, i.e., with meta-atoms that do not directly couple to the external field. Such metamaterials exhibit a scattering response that is similar to what is observed for electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT): they combine large group delay with low absorption at the same frequency. Classical EIT metamaterials are interesting for nonlinear metamaterials because of the large field enhancement due to the lack of radiation loss in the dark element and for tunable metamaterials because of the high sensitivity of the resonance to the environment or a control signal. We discuss the design and modeling of EIT metamaterials and some early work on their applications to media with nonlinear/tunable response.

Despite decades of study, there are still no complete explanations as to how this is possible. Here we describe a model of N-2 reduction using the Mo-containing nitrogenase (FeMoco) that can explain the reactivity of the active site via a series of electrochemical steps that reversibly unseal a highly reactive Fe edge site. Our model can explain the 8 proton-electron transfers involved in biological ammonia synthesis within the kinetic scheme of Lowe and Thorneley, the obligatory formation of one H-2 per N-2 reduced, and the behavior of known inhibitors.

The acidity of montmorillonite dispersions has been varied as well as the counterions to the net negatively charged platelets. At low pH, Na montmorillonite dissolves and among other species Al3+ is released, hydrated, polymerized and then it replaces the counterions in the clay. This dramatically changes the microstructure of Na montmorillonite, which instead of having fully exfoliated platelets, turns into a structure of aggregated platelets, so-called tactoids. Montmorillonite dispersion still has a significant extra-lamellar swelling among the tactoids due to the presence of very small nanoplatelets.

It was found that increased branching led to a higher ionicity and higher viscosity. The thermal properties were also altered significantly and spectral changes in the near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectra show that branching affects intermolecular interaction. While the ionicity and viscosity varying linearly with branching, the MDSC and NEXAFS measurements show that the cation shape has a stronger influence on the melting temperature and absorptive properties than the number of branched alkyl substituents.

It was found that the charge delocalization of a self-trapped electron proceeded predominately along the c crystal axis of rutile, thus exhibiting pronounced directional heterogeneity of polaron migration. As a result, the extrapolated polaron activation energies are 0.026 eV and 0.195 eV along the [001] and [111] lattice vectors, respectively. According to the Holstein theory, the difference on the activation energy makes the polaron drift over 100 times faster along the c crystal axis than on the ab crystal plane at room temperature. The notable anisotropy of the anionic polaron was also reflected through the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) g-matrix, whose principal component along [001] is substantially smaller than that along [110] or [1% 10]. Finally, the extent of polaron charge was probed by our calculated isotropic hyperfine coupling constants on two groups of crystallographically inequivalent O-17 atoms, which manifest distinct strengths of spin-orbit interaction with the unpaired electron.

In this paper, geometrical structures and electronic properties of quasi-1D pristine gallium monochalcogenide GaX (X = S, Se) nanoribbons (NRs) have been studied by means of first-principles calculations, aiming to address the edge effects of 2D GaX (X = S, Se) nanoflakes. The armchair NRs are nonmagnetic semiconductors, in which the edge distortion is observed. In the zigzag GaX NRs, they present metallic behavior for both spin-up and spin-down channels with great magnetism, except for 1-Z-NR GaSe and GaS. The spin polarization in the zigzag GaX (X = S, Se) NRs mainly originates from the unpaired electrons on the edge Ga atoms. Our present work may well complement the current studies on the layered gallium monochalcogenides GaX (X = S, Se), and other quasi-1D NRs (e.g. graphene, ZnO, and MoS2).

During the Southern Oxidant and Aerosol Study (SOAS), 78% of PMF-resolved IEPOX-SOA is accounted by the measured IEPOX-SOA molecular tracers (2-methyltetrols, C5-Triols, and IEPOX-derived organosulfate and its dimers), making it the highest level of molecular identification of an ambient SOA component to our knowledge. An enhanced signal at C5H6O+ (m/z 82) is found in PMF-resolved IEPOX-SOA spectra. To investigate the suitability of this ion as a tracer for IEPOX-SOA, we examine fC(5)H(6)O (fC(5)H(6)O = C5H6O+ / OA) across multiple field, chamber, and source data sets. A background of similar to 1.7 +/- 0.1 parts per thousand (parts per thousand = parts per thousand) is observed in studies strongly influenced by urban, biomass-burning, and other anthropogenic primary organic aerosol (POA). Higher background values of 3.1 +/- 0.6 parts per thousand are found in studies strongly influenced by monoterpene emissions. The average laboratory monoterpene SOA value (5.5 +/- 2.0 parts per thousand) is 4 times lower than the average for IEPOX-SOA (22 +/- 7 parts per thousand), which leaves some room to separate both contributions to OA. Locations strongly influenced by isoprene emissions under low-NO levels had higher fC(5)H(6)O (similar to 6.5 +/- 2.2 parts per thousand on average) than other sites, consistent with the expected IEPOX- SOA formation in those studies. fC(5)H(6)O in IEPOX- SOA is always elevated (12-40 parts per thousand) but varies substantially between locations, which is shown to reflect large variations in its detailed molecular composition. The low fC(5)H(6)O (< 3 parts per thousand) reported in non-IEPOX-derived isoprene-SOA from chamber studies indicates that this tracer ion is specifically enhanced from IEPOX- SOA, and is not a tracer for all SOA from isoprene. We introduce a graphical diagnostic to study the presence and aging of IEPOX- SOA as a triangle plot of f(CO2) vs. fC(5)H(6)O. Finally, we develop a simplified method to estimate ambient IEPOX- SOA mass concentrations, which is shown to perform well compared to the full PMF method. The uncertainty of the tracer method is up to a factor of similar to 2, if the fC(5)H(6)O of the local IEPOX- SOA is not available. When only unit mass-resolution data are available, as with the aerosol chemical speciation monitor (ACSM), all methods may perform less well because of increased interferences from other ions at m/z 82. This study clarifies the strengths and limitations of the different AMS methods for detection of IEPOX- SOA and will enable improved characterization of this OA component. C1 [Hu, W.

TI How consistent are top-down hydrocarbon emissions based on formaldehyde observations from GOME-2 and OMI? SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID OZONE MONITORING INSTRUMENT; MAX-DOAS OBSERVATIONS; VOLATILE ORGANIC-COMPOUNDS; 2010 RUSSIAN WILDFIRES; TROPICAL RAIN-FOREST; NO2 COLUMN RETRIEVAL; ISOPRENE EMISSIONS; SATELLITE-OBSERVATIONS; NORTH-AMERICA; BEIJING AREA AB The vertical columns of formaldehyde (HCHO) retrieved from two satellite instruments, the Global Ozone Monitoring Instrument-2 (GOME-2) on Metop-A and the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) on Aura, are used to constrain global emissions of HCHO precursors from open fires, vegetation and human activities in the year 2010. To this end, the emissions are varied and optimized using the adjoint model technique in the IMAGESv2 global CTM (chemical transport model) on a monthly basis and at the model resolution. Given the different local overpass times of GOME-2 (09: 30 LT) and OMI (13: 30 LT), the simulated diurnal cycle of HCHO columns is investigated and evaluated against ground-based optical measurements at seven sites in Europe, China and Africa. The modeled diurnal cycle exhibits large variability, reflecting competition between photochemistry and emission variations, with noon or early afternoon maxima at remote locations (oceans) and in regions dominated by anthropogenic emissions, late afternoon or evening maxima over fire scenes, and midday minima in isoprene-rich regions. The agreement between simulated and ground-based columns is generally better in summer (with a clear afternoon maximum at mid-latitude sites) than in winter, and the annually averaged ratio of afternoon to morning columns is slightly higher in the model (1.126) than in the ground-based measurements (1.043). The anthropogenic VOC (volatile organic compound) sources are found to be weakly constrained by the inversions on the global scale, mainly owing to their generally minor contribution to the HCHO columns, except over strongly polluted regions, like China. The OMI-based inversion yields total flux estimates over China close to the bottom-up inventory (24.6 vs. 25.5 TgVOCyr(-1) in the a priori) with, however, pronounced increases in the northeast of China and reductions in the south. Lower fluxes are estimated based on GOME-2 HCHO columns (20.6 TgVOCyr(-1)), in particular over the northeast, likely reflecting mismatches between the observed and the modeled diurnal cycle in this region. The resulting biogenic and pyrogenic flux estimates from both optimizations generally show a good degree of consistency. A reduction of the global annual biogenic emissions of isoprene is derived, of 9 and 13% according to GOME-2 and OMI, respectively, compared to the a priori estimate of 363 Tg in 2010. The reduction is largest (up to 25-40 %) in the Southeastern US, in accordance with earlier studies. The GOME-2 and OMI satellite columns suggest a global pyrogenic flux decrease by 36 and 33 %, respectively, compared to the GFEDv3 (Global Fire Emissions Database) inventory. This decrease is especially pronounced over tropical forests, such as in Amazonia, Thailand and Myanmar, and is supported by comparisons with CO observations from IASI (Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer). In contrast to these flux reductions, the emissions due to harvest waste burning are strongly enhanced over the northeastern China plain in June (by ca. 70% in June according to OMI) as well as over Indochina in March. Sensitivity inversions showed robustness of the inferred estimates, which were found to lie within 7% of the standard inversion results at the global scale.

TI Variation of the radiative properties during black carbon aging: theoretical and experimental intercomparison SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID DISCRETE-DIPOLE APPROXIMATION; T-MATRIX METHOD; LIGHT-ABSORPTION; OPTICAL-PROPERTIES; MIXING STATE; GEOMETRIC-OPTICS; SULFURIC-ACID; PARTICLE-SIZE; ICE CRYSTALS; SNOW GRAINS AB A theoretical black carbon (BC) aging model is developed to account for three typical evolution stages, namely, freshly emitted aggregates, BC coated by soluble material, and BC particles undergoing further hygroscopic growth. The geometric-optics surface-wave (GOS) approach is employed to compute the BC single-scattering properties at each aging stage, which are subsequently compared with laboratory measurements. Theoretical calculations are consistent with measurements in extinction and absorption cross sections for fresh BC aggregates with different BC sizes (i.e., mobility diameters of 155, 245, and 320 nm), with differences of <= 25 %. The measured optical cross sections for BC coated by sulfuric acid and for that undergoing further hygroscopic growth are generally captured (differences < 30 %) by theoretical calculations using a concentric core-shell structure, with an overestimate in extinction and absorption of the smallest BC size and an underestimate in scattering of the largest BC size. We find that the absorption and scattering cross sections of fresh BC aggregates vary by 20-40 and 5065 %, respectively, due to the use of upper (1.95-0.79 i/and lower (1.75-0.63 i/bounds of BC refractive index, while the variations are < 20% in absorption and < 50% in scattering in the case of coated BC particles. Sensitivity analyses of the BC morphology show that the optical properties of fresh BC aggregates are more sensitive to fractal dimension than primary spherule size. The absorption and scattering cross sections of coated BC particles vary by more than a factor of 2 due to different coating structures. We find an increase of 20-250% in absorption and a factor of 3-15 in scattering during aging, significantly depending on coating morphology and aging stages. This study suggests that an accurate estimate of BC radiative effects requires the incorporation of a dynamic BC aging process that accounts for realistic coating structures in climate models.

TI Optimization of the GSFC TROPOZ DIAL retrieval using synthetic lidar returns and ozonesondes - Part 1: Algorithm validation SO ATMOSPHERIC MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES LA English DT Article ID DIFFERENTIAL ABSORPTION LIDAR; OZONE; PROFILES AB The main purpose of the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center TROPospheric OZone DIfferential Absorption Lidar (GSFC TROPOZ DIAL) is to measure the vertical distribution of tropospheric ozone for science investigations. Because of the important health and climate impacts of tropospheric ozone, it is imperative to quantify background photochemical ozone concentrations and ozone layers aloft, especially during air quality episodes. For these reasons, this paper addresses the necessary procedures to validate the TROPOZ retrieval algorithm and confirm that it is properly representing ozone concentrations. This paper is focused on ensuring the TROPOZ algorithm is properly quantifying ozone concentrations, and a following paper will focus on a systematic uncertainty analysis. This methodology begins by simulating synthetic lidar returns from actual TROPOZ lidar return signals in combination with a known ozone profile. From these synthetic signals, it is possible to explicitly determine retrieval algorithm biases from the known profile. This was then systematically performed to identify any areas that need refinement for a new operational version of the TROPOZ retrieval algorithm. One immediate outcome of this exercise was that a bin registration error in the correction for detector saturation within the original retrieval was discovered and was subsequently corrected for. Another noticeable outcome was that the vertical smoothing in the retrieval algorithm was upgraded from a constant vertical resolution to a variable vertical resolution to yield a statistical uncertainty of < 10 %. This new and optimized vertical-resolution scheme retains the ability to resolve fluctuations in the known ozone profile, but it now allows near-field signals to be more appropriately smoothed. With these revisions to the previous TROPOZ retrieval, the optimized TROPOZ retrieval algorithm (TROPOZ(opt)) has been effective in retrieving nearly 200m lower to the surface. Also, as compared to the previous version of the retrieval, the TROPOZopt had an overall mean improvement of 3.5 %, and large improvements (upwards of 10-15% as compared to the previous algorithm) were apparent between 4.5 and 9 km. Finally, to ensure the TROPOZopt retrieval algorithm is robust enough to handle actual lidar return signals, a comparison is shown between four nearby ozonesonde measurements. The ozonesondes are mostly within the TROPOZopt retrieval uncertainty bars, which implies that this exercise was quite successful. C1 [Sullivan, J. T.; McGee, T.

Climate simulations provide us with a unique opportunity to examine effects of anthropogenic emissions. High-resolution climate simulations produce "Big Data": contemporary climate archives are approximate to 5PB in size and we expect future archives to measure on the order of Exa-Bytes. In this work, we present the successful application of TECA (Toolkit for Extreme Climate Analysis) framework, for extracting extreme weather patterns such as Tropical Cyclones, Atmospheric Rivers and Extra-Tropical Cyclones from TB-sized simulation datasets. TECA has been run at full-scale on Cray XE6 and IBM BG/Q systems, and has reduced the runtime for pattern detection tasks from years to hours. TECA has been utilized to evaluate the performance of various computational models in reproducing the statistics of extreme weather events, and for characterizing the change in frequency of storm systems in the future.

TI Hybrid solar converters for maximum exergy and inexpensive dispatchable electricity SO Energy & Environmental Science LA English DT Article ID ENERGY-STORAGE TECHNOLOGIES; CONCENTRATING SYSTEMS; POWER; EFFICIENCY; CONVERSION; COST; CELL AB Photovoltaic (PV) solar energy systems are being deployed at an accelerating rate to supply low-carbon electricity worldwide. However, PV is unlikely to economically supply much more than 10% of the world's electricity unless there is a dramatic reduction in the cost of electricity storage. There is an important scientific and technological opportunity to address the storage challenge by developing inexpensive hybrid solar converters that collect solar heat at temperatures between about 200 and 600 degrees C and also incorporate PV. Since heat can be stored and converted to electricity at relatively low cost, collection of high exergy content (high temperature) solar heat can provide energy that is dispatchable on demand to meet loads that are not well matched to solar insolation. However, PV cells can collect and convert much of the solar spectrum to electricity more efficiently and inexpensively than solar thermal systems. Advances in spectrum-splitting optics, high-temperature PV cells, thermal management and system design are needed for transformational hybrid converters. We propose that maximizing the exergy output from the solar converters while minimizing the cost of exergy can help propel solar energy toward a higher contribution to carbon-free electricity in the long term than the prevailing paradigm of maximizing the energy output while minimizing the cost of energy.

In this work, we present a new class of high capacity cation-disordered oxides, lithium-excess nickel titanium molybdenum oxides, which deliver capacities up to 250 mA h g(-1). These materials were designed from percolation theory which predicts lithium diffusion to become facile in cation-disordered oxides as the lithium-excess level increases (x > 1.09 in LixTM2-xO2). The reversible capacity and rate capability in these compounds are shown to considerably improve with lithium excess. In particular, Li1.2Ni1/3Ti1/3Mo2/15O2 delivers up to 250 mA h g(-1) and 750 W h kg(-1) (similar to 3080 W h l(-1)) at 10 mA g(-1). Combining in situ X-ray diffraction, X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy, electron energy loss spectroscopy, and electrochemistry, we propose that first charging Li1.2Ni1/3Ti1/3Mo2/15O2 to 4.8 V occurs with Ni2+/Ni similar to 3+ oxidation, oxygen loss, and oxygen oxidation in this sequence, after which Mo6+ and Ti4+ can be reduced upon discharge. Furthermore, we discuss how oxygen loss with lattice densification can affect lithium diffusion in the material by decreasing the Li-excess level. From this understanding, strategies for further improvements are proposed, setting new guidelines for the design of high performance cation-disordered oxides for rechargeable lithium batteries.

TI Using field observations to inform thermal hydrology models of permafrost dynamics with ATS (v0.83) SO Geoscientific Model Development LA English DT Article ID SEASONAL SNOW COVER; 3-PHASE NUMERICAL-MODEL; ACTIVE-LAYER; ENERGY-BALANCE; ARCTIC TUNDRA; COLD REGIONS; HYDRAULIC CONDUCTIVITY; UNDISTURBED SOIL; CLIMATE-CHANGE; ORGANIC SOIL AB Climate change is profoundly transforming the carbon-rich Arctic tundra landscape, potentially moving it from a carbon sink to a carbon source by increasing the thickness of soil that thaws on a seasonal basis. However, the modeling capability and precise parameterizations of the physical characteristics needed to estimate projected active layer thickness (ALT) are limited in Earth system models (ESMs). In particular, discrepancies in spatial scale between field measurements and Earth system models challenge validation and parameterization of hydrothermal models. A recently developed surface-subsurface model for permafrost thermal hydrology, the Advanced Terrestrial Simulator (ATS), is used in combination with field measurements to achieve the goals of constructing a process-rich model based on plausible parameters and to identify fine-scale controls of ALT in ice-wedge polygon tundra in Barrow, Alaska. An iterative model refinement procedure that cycles between bore-hole temperature and snow cover measurements and simulations functions to evaluate and parameterize different model processes necessary to simulate freeze-thaw processes and ALT formation. After model refinement and calibration, reasonable matches between simulated and measured soil temperatures are obtained, with the largest errors occurring during early summer above ice wedges (e.g., troughs). The results suggest that properly constructed and calibrated one-dimensional thermal hydrology models have the potential to provide reasonable representation of the subsurface thermal response and can be used to infer model input parameters and process representations. The models for soil thermal conductivity and snow distribution were found to be the most sensitive process representations. However, information on lateral flow and snowpack evolution might be needed to constrain model representations of surface hydrology and snow depth. C1 [Atchley, A. L.; Harp, D. R.; Coon, E.

TI CH4 parameter estimation in CLM4.5bgc using surrogate global optimization SO GEOSCIENTIFIC MODEL DEVELOPMENT LA English DT Article ID IRRIGATED RICE FIELDS; COMMUNITY LAND MODEL; BLACK-BOX FUNCTIONS; METHANE EMISSIONS; NATURAL WETLANDS; UNCERTAINTY QUANTIFICATION; BIOGEOCHEMISTRY MODEL; EXPENSIVE FUNCTIONS; SEASONAL-VARIATION; CLIMATE MODEL AB Over the anthropocene methane has increased dramatically. Wetlands are one of the major sources of methane to the atmosphere, but the role of changes in wetland emissions is not well understood. The Community Land Model (CLM) of the Community Earth System Models contains a module to estimate methane emissions from natural wetlands and rice paddies. Our comparison of CH4 emission observations at 16 sites around the planet reveals, however, that there are large discrepancies between the CLM predictions and the observations. The goal of our study is to adjust the model parameters in order to minimize the root mean squared error (RMSE) between model predictions and observations. These parameters have been selected based on a sensitivity analysis. Because of the cost associated with running the CLM simulation (15 to 30 min on the Yellowstone Supercomputing Facility), only relatively few simulations can be allowed in order to find a near-optimal solution within an acceptable time. Our results indicate that the parameter estimation problem has multiple local minima. Hence, we use a computationally efficient global optimization algorithm that uses a radial basis function (RBF) surrogate model to approximate the objective function. We use the information from the RBF to select parameter values that are most promising with respect to improving the objective function value. We show with pseudo data that our optimization algorithm is able to make excellent progress with respect to decreasing the RMSE. Using the true CH4 emission observations for optimizing the parameters, we are able to significantly reduce the overall RMSE between observations and model predictions by about 50 %. The methane emission predictions of the CLM using the optimized parameters agree better with the observed methane emission data in northern and tropical latitudes. With the optimized parameters, the methane emission predictions are higher in northern latitudes than when the default parameters are used. For the tropics, the optimized parameters lead to lower emission predictions than the default parameters.

This set of experiments, named GeoMIP6 (to be consistent with the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6), builds on the previous GeoMIP project simulations, and has been expanded to address several further important topics, including key uncertainties in extreme events, the use of geoengineering as part of a portfolio of responses to climate change, and the relatively new idea of cirrus cloud thinning to allow more longwave radiation to escape to space. We discuss experiment designs, as well as the rationale for those designs, showing preliminary results from individual models when available. We also introduce a new feature, called the GeoMIP Testbed, which provides a platform for simulations that will be performed with a few models and subsequently assessed to determine whether the proposed experiment designs will be adopted as core (Tier 1) GeoMIP experiments. This is meant to encourage various stakeholders to propose new targeted experiments that address their key open science questions, with the goal of making GeoMIP more relevant to a broader set of communities.

This complex cognitive process has been studied, and models created to describe how the process works in specific domains. Two popular models used for this generalization are the sensemaking and signature discovery models, which apply a cognitive and computational focus to describe the analytic process, respectively. This work seeks to deepen our understanding of the data analysis process in light of these two models.

Specifically, directional hydrogen- and halogen-bonds and pi-pi interactions can be used to design materials in which their magnetic exchange pathways and strength can increasingly be predicted. Specific examples are presented herein and discussed with the aim of gaining deeper insight into the structure-property relationships that provide a powerful tool to afford new materials with unprecedented physical properties.

The power efficiencies were measured as 14.0 lm/W for red, 47.1 lm/W for yellow, and 62.4 lm/W for green LEDs at 2.6V. The temperature effect of ZnCuInS/ZnSe/ZnS QDs on these LEDs was investigated using CIE chromaticity coordinates, spectral wavelength, full width at half maximum (FWHM), and power efficiency (PE). The thermal quenching induced by the increased surface temperature of the device was confirmed to be one of the important factors to decrease power efficiencies while the CIE chromaticity coordinates changed little due to the low emission temperature coefficients of 0.022, 0.050, and 0.068 nm/degrees C for red-, yellow-, and green-emitting ZnCuInS/ZnSe/ZnSQDs. These indicate that ZnCuInS/ZnSe/ZnSQDs are more suitable for downconversion LEDs compared to CdSe QDs.

Many different techniques have been applied to characterize the chemical and structural composition of this complex surface film. The standard vibrational optical spectroscopies, which offer molecular-level information are subject to the diffraction limit, which restricts their ability to probe at the nanoscale level of the SET building blocks. This work exploits infrared apertureless near-field microscopy that operates below the diffraction limit to characterize the SET layer on a model HOPG electrode. Variations in surface topography and chemical contrast are discussed in the context of SET composition and function. The promise of near-field techniques for characterization of electrochemical interfaces is briefly evaluated. (C) The Author(s) 2015. Published by ECS. All rights reserved.

TI Exploring Electrochemistry and Interface Characteristics of Lithium-Ion Cells with Li1.2Ni0.15Mn0.55Co0.1O2 Positive and Li4Ti5O12 Negative Electrodes SO JOURNAL OF THE ELECTROCHEMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID BATTERIES; PERFORMANCE; SURFACE; DEGRADATION; REACTIVITY; MANGANESE; FADE AB Lithium-ion cells containing Li1.2Ni0.15Mn0.55Co0.1O2-based positive and Li4Ti5O12-based negative electrodes were electrochemically cycled in the 0.75-2.55 V and 0.75-3.15 V voltage windows. The maximum voltage of the Li1.2Ni0.55Mn0.55Co0.1O2 in the 0.75-2.55 V range is similar to 4.1 V vs. Li/Li+, well below the oxide's "activation" plateau; in contrast, in the 0.75-3.15 V range the oxide potential at top of charge is similar to 4.7 V vs. Li/Li+, beyond the activation plateau. Our results show that the discharge energy density decreases after 500 cycles from 154.2 to 147.8 mWh/g (similar to 4.1% reduction), and from 484.9 to 435.3 mWh/g (similar to 10.2% reduction), in the 0.75-2.55 V and the 0.75-3.15 V ranges, respectively. Almost all of this energy density decrease, in both cycling ranges, can be attributed to voltage fade in the Li1.2Ni0.15Mn0.55Co0.1O2 because cell capacity loss during cycling is small. An investigation of harvested electrolytes from cycled cells showed a noticeable, yet very small (ppb levels), increase in Mn, Ni and Co contents. In contrast, the content of these elements show a significant increase at the negative, indicating a preference for deposition at this electrode over accumulations in the electrolyte. In addition, XPS data showed significant amounts of organic and inorganic species at the negative electrode, which increased On cycling; this finding is consistent with previously reported data for Li4Ti5O12 electrodes. Surface films, containing products of electrolyte degradation, were also observed on the positive electrode. Although transition metal element dissolution occurs at this electrode, the loss of Mn, Ni and Co is not sufficient to significantly alter the oxide's composition and/or its capacity.

In this work, we approach this task as a problem of response-guided community detection; that is, identifying communities in a graph associated with a response variable of interest. To this end, we propose a general strategy for response-guided community detection that explicitly incorporates information of the response variable during the community detection process, and introduce a graph representation of spatiotemporal data that leverages information from multiple variables. We apply our proposed methodology to the discovery of climate indices associated with seasonal rainfall variability. Our results suggest that our methodology is able to capture the underlying patterns known to be associated with the response variable of interest and to improve its predictability compared to existing methodologies for data-driven climate index discovery and official forecasts.

The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) was created in 1975 to regulate civilian nuclear power and technology. After the 1979 Three Mile Island accident the nuclear industry recognized safety culture improvement necessities. In 1979 the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO) was founded to curtail severe reputational risks from underperforming nuclear operators. The combination of mandatory NRC regulations and voluntary industry standards recognized by INPO created a competitive environment for implementing best safety practices. Through INPO the nuclear industry demonstrates it is proactively meeting NRC expectations, but in a business conducive manner. The strong cyber defense orientation of the nuclear industry is a contemporary example of this arrangement. In mid-February 2014 the National Institute of Standards and Technology released its Executive Order 13636 mandated Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity. Yet, in 2002 INPO was already taking cyber defense assessment and training measures. In Washington, DC the February 2014 Bipartisan Policy Center cited the nuclear industry forward thinking on cyber security. One of the Bipartisan Policy Center Electric Grid Cybersecurity Initiative co-chairs is Michael Hayden, former Central Intelligence Agency and National Security Agency director. The unique nuclear industry aspects of insurance, regulation, information sharing, and other areas provides policy suggestions for strengthening American critical infrastructure cyber security. The paper breaks down several distinctive technical and programmatic features of the nuclear industry for critical infrastructure cyber security and their associated economic, social, and trust issues.

The novel thermal properties of graphene, which include anisotropic thermal conductivity, decoupled phonon thermal transport, thermal rectification and tunable interfacial thermal conductance, have attracted enormous interest in the development of next-generation nano-devices. Molecular dynamics simulation is one of the main approaches in numerical simulation of the novel thermal properties of graphene. In this paper, the widely used potentials of MD for modeling the novel thermal properties of graphene are described first. Then MD simulations of anisotropic thermal conductivity, decoupled phonon thermal transport, thermal rectification and tunable interfacial thermal conductance are discussed. Finally, the paper concludes with highlights on both the current status and future directions of the MD simulation of the novel thermal properties of graphene.

A novel visible-light-driven Bi2O3/WO3 composite photocatalyst was prepared by hydrothermal synthesis. The composite was characterized by scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area, Raman spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) to better understand the structures, compositions, morphologies and optical properties. Bi2O3/WO3 heterojunction was found to exhibit significantly higher photocatalytic activity towards the decomposition of Rhodamine B (RhB) and 4-nitroaniline (4-NA) under visible light irradiation compared to that of Bi2O3 and WO3. A tentative mechanism for the enhanced photocatalytic activity of the heterostructured composite is discussed based on observed activity, band position calculations, photoluminescence, and electrochemical impedance data. The present study provides a new strategy for the design of composite materials with enhanced visible light photocatalytic performance.

Given the recent tendencies in computer architecture development, one needs to reformulate legacy codes in order to cope with large amounts of communication, system faults, and requirements of low-memory usage per core. In this work, we develop a novel framework for solving PDEs via domain decomposition that reformulates the solution as a state of knowledge with a probabilistic interpretation. Such reformulation allows resiliency with respect to potential faults without having to apply fault detection, avoids unnecessary communication, and is generally well-suited for rigorous uncertainty quantification studies that target improvements of predictive fidelity of scientific models. We demonstrate our algorithm for one-dimensional PDE examples where artificial faults have been implemented as bit flips in the binary representation of subdomain solutions.

Our research focuses on the mathematical challenges presented by the silent hardware faults; i.e., faults that can perturb the result of computations in an inconspicuous way. Using the approach of selective reliability, we present an analytic fault mode that can be used to study the resilience properties of a numerical algorithm. We apply our approach to the classical fixed point iteration and demonstrate that in the presence of hardware faults, the classical method fails to converge in expectation. We preset a modified resilient algorithm that detects and rejects faults resulting in error with large magnitude, while small faults are negated by the natural self-correcting properties of the algorithm. We show that our method is convergent (in first and second statistical moments) even in the presence of silent hardware faults.

TI ALGEBRAIC MULTIGRID DOMAIN AND RANGE DECOMPOSITION (AMG-DD/AMG-RD) SO SIAM JOURNAL ON SCIENTIFIC COMPUTING LA English DT Article DE iterative methods; multigrid; algebraic multigrid; parallel; scalability; domain decomposition ID PARALLEL; PARADIGM; SOLVER AB In modern large-scale supercomputing applications, algebraic multigrid (AMG) is a leading choice for solving matrix equations. However, the high cost of communication relative to that of computation is a concern for the scalability of traditional implementations of AMG on emerging architectures. This paper introduces two new algebraic multilevel algorithms, algebraic multigrid domain decomposition (AMG-DD) and algebraic multigrid range decomposition (AMG-RD), that replace traditional AMG V-cycles with a fully overlapping domain decomposition approach. While the methods introduced here are similar in spirit to the geometric methods developed by Brandt and Diskin [Multigrid solvers on decomposed domains, in Domain Decomposition Methods in Science and Engineering, Contemp. Math. 157, AMS, Providence, RI, 1994, pp. 135-155], Mitchell [Electron. Trans. Numer. Anal., 6 (1997), pp. 224-233], and Bank and Holst [SIAM J. Sci. Comput., 22 (2000), pp. 1411-1443], they differ primarily in that they are purely algebraic: AMG-RD and AMG-DD trade communication for computation by forming global composite "grids" based only on the matrix, not the geometry. (As is the usual AMG convention, "grids" here should be taken only in the algebraic sense, regardless of whether or not it corresponds to any geometry.) Another important distinguishing feature of AMG-RD and AMG-DD is their novel residual communication process that enables effective parallel computation on composite grids, avoiding the all-to-all communication costs of the geometric methods. The main purpose of this paper is to study the potential of these two algebraic methods as possible alternatives to existing AMG approaches for future parallel machines. To this end, this paper develops some theoretical properties of these methods and reports on serial numerical tests of their convergence properties over a spectrum of problem parameters.

TI LEAST-SQUARES FINITE ELEMENT DISCRETIZATION OF THE NEUTRON TRANSPORT EQUATION IN SPHERICAL GEOMETRY SO SIAM JOURNAL ON SCIENTIFIC COMPUTING LA English DT Article DE neutron transport; finite element; least-squares; algebraic multigrid ID SMOOTHED AGGREGATION; INTERPOLATION; DIFFUSION; FRAMEWORK; SOLVERS; SYSTEMS AB The main focus of this paper is the numerical solution of the steady-state, monoenergetic Boltzmann transport equation for neutral particles through mixed material media in a spherically symmetric geometry. Standard solution strategies, like the discrete ordinates method, may lead to nonphysical approximate solutions. In particular, a point source at the center of the sphere yields undesirable ray effects. Posing the problem in spherical coordinates avoids ray effects and other nonphysical numerical artifacts in the simulation process, at the cost of coupling all angles in the PDE setting. In addition, traditional finite element or finite difference techniques for spherical coordinates often yield incorrect scalar flux at the center of the sphere, known as flux dip, and oscillations near steep gradients. In this paper, a least-squares finite element method with adaptive mesh refinement is used to approximate solutions to the nonscattering, one-dimensional neutron transport equation in spherically symmetric geometry. It is shown that the resulting numerical approximations avoid flux dip and oscillations. The least-squares discretization yields a symmetric, positive definite, linear system which shares many characteristics with systems obtained from Galerkin finite element discretization of totally anisotropic elliptic PDEs. In general, standard algebraic multigrid techniques fail to scale on non-grid-aligned anisotropies. In this paper, a new variation of smoothed aggregation is employed and shown to be essentially scalable. The effectiveness of the method is demonstrated on several mixed-media model problems.

TI INTERWEAVING PFASST AND PARALLEL MULTIGRID SO SIAM JOURNAL ON SCIENTIFIC COMPUTING LA English DT Article DE parallel in time; PFASST; multigrid ID DEFERRED CORRECTION METHODS; ORDINARY DIFFERENTIAL-EQUATIONS; WAVE-FORM RELAXATION; TIME; PARAREAL AB The parallel full approximation scheme in space and time (PFASST) introduced by Emmett and Minion in 2012 is an iterative strategy for the temporal parallelization of ODEs and discretized PDEs. As the name suggests, PFASST is similar in spirit to a space-time full approximation scheme multigrid method performed over multiple time steps in parallel. However, since the original focus of PFASST was on the performance of the method in terms of time parallelism, the solution of any spatial system arising from the use of implicit or semi-implicit temporal methods within PFASST have simply been assumed to be solved to some desired accuracy completely at each substep and each iteration by some unspecified procedure. It hence is natural to investigate how iterative solvers in the spatial dimensions can be interwoven with the PFASST iterations and whether this strategy leads to a more efficient overall approach. This paper presents an initial investigation on the relative performance of different strategies for coupling PFASST iterations with multigrid methods for the implicit treatment of diffusion terms in PDEs. In particular, we compare full accuracy multigrid solves at each substep with a small fixed number of multigrid V-cycles. This reduces the cost of each PFASST iteration at the possible expense of a corresponding increase in the number of PFASST iterations needed for convergence. Parallel efficiency of the resulting methods is explored through numerical examples. C1 [Minion, M.

PLHR is based on a short-term recurrence, easily extended to a block form, computing eigenpairs simultaneously. PLHR can take advantage of Hermitian positive definite preconditioning, e.g., based on an approximate inverse of an absolute value of a shifted matrix, introduced in [E. Vecharynski and A. V. Knyazev, SIAM J. Sci. Comput., 35 (2013), pp. A696-A718].

TI Implications of Modeling Range and Infrastructure Barriers to Adoption of Battery Electric Vehicles SO TRANSPORTATION RESEARCH RECORD LA English DT Article ID ALTERNATIVE-FUEL VEHICLES; NATURAL-GAS; ACCEPTANCE; DEMAND; POLICY AB Compared with traditional vehicles, light-duty battery electric vehicles (BEVs) currently have price premiums and noncost limitations, such as reduced range, sparse public recharging infrastructure, and long recharge times. These additional limitations can be captured in different ways in a consumer choice model. Three approaches are implemented to noncost barrier modeling, and results are compared. A penalty approach quantifies limitations as additional costs to the consumer, and two threshold approaches determine BEY suitability by the frequency that daily driving distance exceeds the vehicle range. GPS-based trip data are used to form ensemble distributions of low-, medium-, and high-intensity driving distances to support the analysis. All approaches show limited (5%) adoption of BEVs by 2050, and the BEV mileage fraction trails the stock fraction because of the use of substitute vehicles for high-mileage trips and adoption biased toward lower driving intensity segments. In fact, a majority of the electrified miles driven stem from plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, not BEVs. Of the BEVs, the powertrains offering 150- to 250-mi ranges are responsible for more than 50% of sales. Results also hint that longer-range BEVs act as primary household vehicles, but lower-range BEVs serve as secondary household vehicles. A parametric exploration shows that mechanisms to mitigate the hardship of the noncost barriers can significantly increase adoption rates but that reducing battery price alone does not. However, these mechanisms can be different for different modeling approaches. C1 [Barter, Garrett E.; Manley, Dawn K.; West, Todd H.] Sandia Natl Labs, Livermore, CA 94551 USA.

Stuart TI Exploring Fuel-Saving Potential of Long-Haul Truck Hybridization SO TRANSPORTATION RESEARCH RECORD LA English DT Article AB Comparisons are reported on the simulated fuel economy for parallel, series, and dual-mode hybrid electric long-haul trucks, in addition to a conventional powertrain configuration, powered by a commercial 2010-compliant 15-L diesel engine over a freeway-dominated heavy-duty truck driving cycle. The driving cycle was obtained by measurement during normal driving conditions. The results indicated that both parallel and dual-mode hybrid powertrains were capable of improving fuel economy by 7% to 8%. However, there was no significant fuel economy benefit for the series hybrid truck because of internal inefficiencies in energy exchange. When reduced aerodynamic drag and tire rolling resistance were combined with hybridization, there was a synergistic fuel economy benefit for appropriate hybrids that increased the fuel economy benefit to more than 15%. Long-haul hybrid trucks with reduced aerodynamic drag and rolling resistance offered lower peak engine loads, better kinetic energy recovery, and reduced average engine power demand. Thus, it is expected that hybridization with load reduction technologies offers important potential fuel energy savings for future long-haul trucks. C1 [Gao, Zhiming; LaClair, Tim J.; Daw, C.

Proton structure functions are currently described with excellent accuracy in terms of scale dependent parton distribution functions, defined in terms of collinear factorization and DGLAP evolution in Q. With decreasing x however, parton densities increase and are ultimately expected to saturate. In this regime DGLAP evolution will finally break down and non-linear evolution equations w.r.t x are expected to take over. In the first part of the talk we present recent result on an implementation of physical DGLAP evolution. Unlike the conventional description in terms of parton distribution functions, the former describes directly the Q dependence of the measured structure functions. It is therefore physical insensitive to factorization scheme and scale ambiguities. It therefore provides a more stringent test of DGLAP evolution and eases the manifestation of (non-linear) small x effects. It however requires a precise measurement of both structure functions F2 and FL, which will be only possible at future facilities, such as an Electron Ion Collider. In the second part we present a recent analysis of the small x region of the combined HERA data on the structure function F2. We demonstrate that (linear) next-to-leading order BFKL evolution describes the effective Pomeron intercept, determined from the combined HERA data, once a resummation of collinear enhanced terms is included and the renormalization scale is fixed using the BLM optimal scale setting procedure. We also provide a detailed description of the Q and x dependence of the full structure functions F2 in the small x region, as measured at HERA. Predictions for the structure function FL are found to be in agreement with the existing HERA data. C1 Brookhaven Natl Lab, Dept Phys, Upton, NY 11973 USA.

Cl-2 is found to react with all particles, and the reactive uptake coefficients depend on the number of unsaturated reaction sites, e.g., gamma(Sqe)(Cl2) = (0.66 +/- 0.03) x 10(-4) versus gamma(OA)(Cl2) = (0.23 +/- 0.01) x 10(-4). In addition, the chemical evolution of squalene and its chlorinated products reveal that the reaction becomes slower for higher chlorinated products.

Among them, platinum-incorporated cadmium chalcogenide hybrid nanocrystals have been studied in the field of photocatalytic water splitting. Here, we present the direct decoration of Pt nanoparticles on CdSe tetrapod sidewalls synthesized by the continuous precursor injection (CPI) method. Pt-decorated CdSe tetrapods with different Pt nanoparticle sizes were synthesized and characterized by TEM, HR-TEM, XRD and HAADF-STEM. These tetrapods were employed as photocatalysts for the photocatalytic hydrogen generation reaction. The Pt-decorated CdSe tetrapods prepared with an extremely low amount of the Pt precursor showed the highest photocatalytic H-2 generation efficiency, which is believed to be attributed to the size effect of the Pt nanoparticles decorated on the CdSe tetrapod sidewalls.

Results show that the lowest-energy cubic Pn (3) over barm polymorph of delta-ZrH1.5 does not satisfy all the Born requirements for mechanical stability, unlike its nearly degenerate tetragonal P4(2)/mcm polymorph. Elastic moduli predicted with the Voigt-Reuss-Hill approximations suggest that mechanical stability of alpha-Zr, Zr-alloy and Zr-hydride poly-crystalline aggregates is limited by the shear modulus. According to both Pugh's and Poisson's ratios, alpha-Zr, Zr-alloy and Zr-hydride polycrystalline aggregates can be considered ductile. The Debye temperatures predicted for gamma-ZrH, delta-ZrH1.5 and epsilon-ZrH2 are theta(D) = 299.7, 415.6 and 356.9 K, respectively, while theta(D) = 273.6, 284.2, 264.1 and 257.1 K for the alpha-Zr, Zry-4, ZIRLO and M5 matrices, i.e. suggesting that Zry-4 possesses the highest micro-hardness among Zr matrices.

TI Coordination chemistry of 2,2 '-biphenylenedithiophosphinate and diphenyldithiophosphinate with U, Np, and Pu SO DALTON TRANSACTIONS LA English DT Article ID MINOR ACTINIDE EXTRACTION; DITHIOPHOSPHINIC ACIDS; TRIVALENT LANTHANIDES; ELECTRONIC-STRUCTURE; OCTYLPHOSPHINE OXIDE; SELECTIVE EXTRACTION; COMPLEXES; SEPARATION; SPECTROSCOPY; LIGANDS AB New members of the dithiophosphinic acid family of potential actinide extractants were prepared: heterocyclic 2,2'-biphenylenedithiophosphinic acids of stoichiometry HS2P(R2C12H6) (R = H or tBu). The timeand atom-efficient syntheses afforded multigram quantities of pure HS2P(R2C12H6) in reasonable yields (-60%). These compounds differed from other diaryldithiophosphinic acid extractants in that the two aryl groups were connected to one another at the ortho positions to form a 5-membered dibenzophosphole ring. These 2,2'-biphenylenedithiophosphinic acids were readily deprotonated to form S2P(R2C12H6)(1-) anions, which were crystallized as salts with tetraphenylpnictonium cations (ZPh(4)(1+); Z = P or As). Coordination chemistry between [S2P(tBu(2)C(12)H(6))](1-) and [S2P(C6H5)(2)](1-) with U, Np, and Pu was comparatively investigated. The results showed that dithiophosphinate complexes of UIV and NpIV were redox stable relative to those of UIII, whereas reactions involving PuIV gave intractable material. For instance, reactions involving UIV and NpIV generated An[S2P(tBu(2)C(12)H(6))](4) and An[S2P(C6H5)(2)](4) whereas reactions between PuIV and [S2P(C6H5)(2)](1-) generated a mixture of products from which we postulated a transient PuIII species based on UV-Vis spectroscopy. However, the trivalent Pu[S2P(C6H5)(2)](3)(NC5H5)(2) compound is stable and could be isolated from reactions between [S2P(C6H5)(2)](1-) and the trivalent PuI3(NC5H5)(4) starting material. Attempts to synthesize analogous trivalent compounds with UIII provided the tetravalent U[S2P(C6H5)(2)](4) oxidation product.

SO FARADAY DISCUSSIONS LA English DT Article ID SITU NEUTRON-DIFFRACTION; OXIDE FUEL-CELLS; SOLID-STATE CHEMISTRY; POWDER DIFFRACTION; HIGH-TEMPERATURE; CRYSTAL-CHEMISTRY; PEROVSKITE; STOICHIOMETRY; REFINEMENT; ACTIVATION AB The possible link between oxygen surface exchange rate and bulk oxygen anion diffusivity in mixed ionic and electronic conducting oxides is a topic of great interest and debate. While a large body of experimental evidence and theoretical analyses support a link, observed differences between bulk and surface composition of these materials are hard to reconcile with this observation. This is further compounded by potential problems with simultaneous measurement of both parameters. Here we utilize separate techniques, in situ neutron diffraction and pulsed isotopic surface exchange, to examine bulk ion mobility and surface oxygen exchange rates of three Ruddlesden-Popper phases, general form A(n-1)A(2)'BnO3n+1, A(n-1)A(2)'BnX3n+1; LaSrCo0.5Fe0.5O4-delta (n = 1), La0.3Sr2.7CoFeO7-delta (n = 2) and LaSr3Co1.5Fe1.5O10-delta (n = 3). These measurements are complemented by surface composition determination via high sensitivity-low energy ion scattering. We observe a correlation between bulk ion mobility and surface exchange rate between materials. The surface exchange rates vary by more than one order of magnitude with high anion mobility in the bulk of an oxygen vacancy-rich n = 2 Ruddlesden-Popper material correlating with rapid oxygen exchange. This is in contrast with the similar surface exchange rates which we may expect due to similar surface compositions across all three samples. We conclude that experimental limitations lead to inherent convolution of surface and bulk rates, and that surface exchange steps are not likely to be rate limiting in oxygen incorporation.

TI Towards lignin consolidated bioprocessing: simultaneous lignin depolymerization and product generation by bacteria SO GREEN CHEMISTRY LA English DT Article ID PSEUDOMONAS-PUTIDA KT2440; COMPLETE GENOME SEQUENCE; FATTY-ACID SYNTHESIS; ENTEROBACTER-LIGNOLYTICUS SCF1; CUPRIAVIDUS-NECATOR JMP134; MEDIUM-CHAIN-LENGTH; AROMATIC-COMPOUNDS; BACILLUS-SUBTILIS; PLANT BIOMASS; KRAFT LIGNIN AB Lignin represents an untapped resource in lignocellulosic biomass, primarily due to its recalcitrance to depolymerization and its intrinsic heterogeneity. In Nature, microorganisms have evolved mechanisms to both depolymerize lignin using extracellular oxidative enzymes and to uptake the aromatic species generated during depolymerization for carbon and energy sources. The ability of microbes to conduct both of these processes simultaneously could enable a Consolidated Bioprocessing concept to be applied to lignin, similar to what is done today with polysaccharide conversion to ethanol via ethanologenic, cellulolytic microbes. To that end, here we examine the ability of 14 bacteria to secrete ligninolytic enzymes, depolymerize lignin, uptake aromatic and other compounds present in a biomass-derived, lignin-enriched stream, and, under nitrogen-limiting conditions, accumulate intracellular carbon storage compounds that can be used as fuel, chemical, or material precursors. In shake flask conditions using a substrate produced during alkaline pretreatment, we demonstrate that up to nearly 30% of the initial lignin can be depolymerized and catabolized by a subset of bacteria. In particular, Amycolatopsis sp., two Pseudomonas putida strains, Acinetobacter ADP1, and Rhodococcus jostii are able to depolymerize high molecular weight lignin species and catabolize a significant portion of the low molecular weight aromatics, thus representing good starting hosts for metabolic engineering. This study also provides a comprehensive set of experimental tools to simultaneously study lignin depolymerization and aromatic catabolism in bacteria, and provides a foundation towards the concept of Lignin Consolidated Bioprocessing, which may eventually be an important route for biological lignin valorization.

Lignin was deconstructed and converted to substituted alicyclic and aromatic hydrocarbons with 5 to 14 carbon atoms. Full conversion with total yield of 70 +/- 5 wt% hydrocarbons was achieved at 593 K and 20 bar H-2. The organosolv lignin used consists of seven to eight monolignol subunits and has an average molecular weight of ca. 1200 g mol(-1). The monolignols were mainly guaiacyl, syringyl and phenylcoumaran, randomly interconnected through beta-O-4, 4-O-5, beta-1, 5- 5' and beta-beta ether bonds. In situ IR spectroscopy was used to follow the changes in lignin constituents during reaction. The reductive catalytic deconstruction of organosolv lignin starts with the hydrogenolysis of aryl alkyl ether bonds, followed by hydrogenation of the aromatic rings to cyclic alcohols. Oxygen is removed from the alcohols via dehydration on Bronsted acid sites to cyclic alkenes that are further hydrogenated.

The obtained Pt foam/C was readily purified by simple washing with water and chLoroform at room temperature. Unlike commercial Pt/C composed of quasi-spherical nanoparticles, Pt foam/C consists of convoluted dendritic nanosheets. Interestingly, Pt foam/C demonstrated both improved durability and activity toward oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The improved durability is because of the formation of metastable nano-holes among dendritic branches of Pt foam/C under ripening, preserving the surface area. The activity enhancement of Pt foam/C can be attributed to predominanty exposed Pt {1,1,0} Wanes that possess the highest ORR activity among all [ow-indexed Pt crysta[Line Wanes.

Three materials with constant Co/Fe ratio, LaSrCo0.5Fe0.5O4-delta (n = 1), La0.3Sr2.7CoFeO7-delta (n = 2), and LaSr3Co1.5Fe1.5O10-delta (n = 3) were synthesized and studied via in situ neutron powder diffraction between 765 K and 1070 K at a pO(2) of 10(-1) atm. The structures were fit to a tetragonal I4/mmm space group, and were found to have increased total oxygen vacancy concentration in the order La0.3Sr2.7CoFeO7-delta > LaSr3Co1.5Fe1.5O10-delta > LaSrCo0.5Fe0.5O4-delta, following the trend predicted for charge compensation upon increasing Sr2+/La3+ ratio. The oxygen vacancies within the material were almost exclusively located within the perovskite layers for all of the crystal structures with only minimal vacancy formation in the rock-salt layer. Analysis of the concentration of these vacancies at each distinct crystallographic site and the anisotropic atomic displacement parameters for the oxygen sites reveals potential preferred oxygen transport pathways through the perovskite layers.

TI Monitoring the stability of organometallic perovskite thin films SO JOURNAL OF MATERIALS CHEMISTRY A LA English DT Article ID MIXED HALIDE PEROVSKITE; HYBRID SOLAR-CELLS; CHLORIDE; EFFICIENT; TRANSPORT; TEMPERATURE; DEPOSITION; MORPHOLOGY; LAYER AB Organometallic halide perovskites have emerged as a revolutionary class of light-absorbing semiconductors that have demonstrated a rapid increase in efficiency within a few years of active research. However, chemical stability is a major issue that hampers their large-scale implementation. Therefore being able to monitor the degradation rate of perovskite thin films may help understand the key factors governing the stability of this material system. Here, we use grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD) measurements to elucidate the role of chlorine and the substrate in the stability of perovskite CH3NH3Pb(I1-xClx)(3) (MAPbI) films for solar cells exposed to ambient atmosphere for more than 30 days. MAPbI films with different concentrations of chlorine were deposited on glass, ITO, and Si substrates. We found that the degradation rate of the perovskite that decomposes into PbI2 depends on the used substrate as well as the concentration of Cl. Through first principles calculations, we propose a mechanism on how chlorine affects the perovskite film properties. Furthermore, the power conversion efficiency of the fabricated perovskite planar heterojunction solar cells is investigated. The highest device performance with an efficiency of 15.7% is obtained with the 10% Cl film at the cost of stability. These findings lead to an improved understanding of more controllable processing schemes for hybrid perovskites. They also offer a potential route to control the degradation rate so as to create more favorable ways of producing stable films and devices from these materials. C1 [Ndione, P.

In the present work, structurally ordered nanoparticles with intermetallic phases of Pt3Zn and PtZn have been successfully synthesized via an impregnation reduction method, followed by post heat-treatment. The Pt3Zn and PtZn ordered intermetallic nanoparticles are well dispersed on a carbon support with ultrasmall mean particle sizes of similar to 5 nm and similar to 3 nm in diameter, respectively, which are credited to the evaporation of the zinc element at high temperature. Meanwhile, these catalysts are less susceptible to CO poisoning relative to Pt/C and exhibited enhanced catalytic activity and stability toward formic acid electrooxidation. The mass activities of the as-prepared catalysts were approximately 2 to 3 times that of commercial Pt at 0.5 V (vs. RHE). This facile synthetic strategy is scalable for mass production of catalytic materials.

Shen, Yan Chen, Yongsheng TI Large active layer thickness toleration of high-efficiency small molecule solar cells SO JOURNAL OF MATERIALS CHEMISTRY A LA English DT Article ID POWER CONVERSION EFFICIENCY; BANDGAP POLYMER; ORGANIC PHOTOVOLTAICS; 10-PERCENT EFFICIENCY; LOSS-MECHANISMS; RECOMBINATION; PERFORMANCE; TRANSPORT; POLYMER/FULLERENE; PHOTOCURRENT AB High-efficiency organic solar cells with large active layer thickness toleration are in high demand to meet the challenges in feasible commercial production on a large scale. Generally, devices with thick active layers are preferred because they allow both the formation of a more uniform film and the effective utilization of incident light. In this work, solar cell devices with layer thicknesses ranging from 65 to 370 nm based on a small molecule donor DR3TSBDT and electron acceptor PC71BM were fabricated and the thickness dependence of the photovoltaic performance was systematically studied. High power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) were well-maintained in a wide layer thickness range, and for devices with layer thicknesses of 280 and 370 nm, PCEs that were off by only similar to 8% and 20%, respectively, from the best PCE value of 9.95% at 120 nm were achieved. With systematic investigations, the well-maintained high performance is attributed to the fact that both the nearly ideal morphology (a bi-continuous interpenetrating crystalline nano-fibrillar structure) of the active layer and the hole mobility remained largely unchanged over the wide thickness range. Also as expected, with increasing thickness, larger transport resistance, charge recombination and transit times were observed, which made the fill factor lower. But these inferior factors were largely compensated by the increased current, and thus well-maintained high performance was achieved.

TI Benchmarking density functional theory predictions of framework structures and properties in a chemically diverse test set of metal-organic frameworks SO JOURNAL OF MATERIALS CHEMISTRY A LA English DT Article ID GENERALIZED GRADIENT APPROXIMATION; CRYSTALLINE POROUS MATERIALS; MOLECULAR SIMULATIONS; NONPERIODIC MATERIALS; ADSORPTION; SITES; DYNAMICS; HYDROGEN; POTENTIALS; ALGORITHMS AB A test set of chemically and topologically diverse Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) with high accuracy experimentally derived crystallographic structure data was compiled. The test set was used to benchmark the performance of Density Functional Theory (DFT) functionals (M06L, PBE, PW91, PBE-D2, PBE-D3, and vdW-DF2) for predicting lattice parameters, unit cell volume, bonded parameters and pore descriptors. On average PBE-D2, PBE-D3, and vdW-DF2 predict more accurate structures, but all functionals predicted pore diameters within 0.5 angstrom of the experimental diameter for every MOF in the test set. The test set was also used to assess the variance in performance of DFT functionals for elastic properties and atomic partial charges. The DFT predicted elastic properties such as minimum shear modulus and Young's modulus can differ by an average of 3 and 9 GPa for rigid MOFs such as those in the test set. The partial charges calculated by vdW-DF2 deviate the most from other functionals while there is no significant difference between the partial charges calculated by M06L, PBE, PW91, PBE-D2 and PBE-D3 for the MOFs in the test set. We find that while there are differences in the magnitude of the properties predicted by the various functionals, these discrepancies are small compared to the accuracy necessary for most practical applications.

In this work, we conduct a comprehensive study on CsCe2Br7. The crystal structure of CsCe2Br7 is refined using single crystal X-ray study for the first time. It crystallizes into the orthorhombic crystal system with Pmnb space group. Its electronic structure is revealed by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Two cerium emission centers are identified and the energy barriers related to the thermal quenching to 4f ground states of Ce3+ for these two Ce centers are evaluated. CsCe2Br7 single crystal has better light yield and energy resolution than CsCe2Cl7, but with an additional slow decay component of 1.7 mu s. The existence of a deep trap with a depth of 0.9 eV in CsCe2Cl7 contributes to its higher afterglow level in comparison to that of CsCe2Br7. The most possible point defects in CsCe2Cl7 and CsCe2Br7 are proposed by considering the vapour pressure in the growth atmosphere upon melting point.

TI Bottom-up, hard template and scalable approaches toward designing nanostructured Li2S for high performance lithium sulfur batteries SO NANOSCALE LA English DT Article ID ION BATTERIES; HIGH-CAPACITY; CATHODE MATERIAL; ANODE MATERIALS; GRAPHENE OXIDE; ENERGY-STORAGE; S BATTERIES; CARBON; PARTICLES; NITROGEN AB Li2S with a high theoretical capacity of 1166 mA h g(-1) and the capability to pair with lithium free anodes has drawn much attention for lithium sulfur (Li-S) battery applications. However, the fast battery decay and the low capacity retention due to dissolution of intermediate polysulfides in electrolytes limit its development. Designing a nanosized and nanostructured host for Li2S through facile techniques is one of the ways to alleviate the dissolution and improve Li-S battery performance; nevertheless, it is technically difficult to synthesize nanosized and nanostructured hosts for Li2S because Li2S is highly sensitive to moisture and oxygen. Herein, a novel technique, i.e., a bottom-up, hard template and scalable method, is proposed to engineer nanoLi2S composites with core-shell structures as cathodes of Li-S batteries. The size of the as-prepared nanostructured Li2S is around 100 nm. With the assistance of FETEM, HRTEM and EFTEM elemental mapping, an excellent core-shell structure has been confirmed and the outside carbon shell has a thickness of 20-50 nm, effectively retarding polysulfide outflow and dissolution. A high initial capacity of 915 mA h g(-1) at 0.2 C has been achieved upon electrochemical cycling and the battery still has exceptional capacity retention after prolonged 200 cycles with a limited decay of 0.18% per cycle. Also, at 0.5 C the electrode exhibits 60% capacity retention with a long life of 300 cycles. We attribute these good performances to the nano-architecture constructed by the novel and facile method.

Such a high retention rate has rarely been seen for pristine micron-size germanium anodes. Scanning electron microscope studies reveal that germanium powders are uniformly embedded in a networking porous structure consisting of both nanopores and macropores. It is believed that such a unique porous structure can efficiently accommodate the similar to 260% volume change during germanium alloying and de-alloying process, resulting in an enhanced cycling performance. These porous membrane electrodes can be manufactured in large scale using a roll-to-roll processing method.

While there are a number of superlubricity, providing a high temperature superlubricity remains a challenge. Here we present a high temperature superlubricity achieved from the diamond like carbon (DLC) films friction system. Superlubricity is found about 0.008 for more than 100 000 seconds at the steady state at the temperature of 600 degrees C due to the formation of the self-generated lubricious composite oxides of gamma-Fe2O3 and SiO2 at the contact surfaces through tribochemistry reaction during the running-in process. We propose a superlubricity system based on the repulsive electrostatic forces between the self-generated composite oxides due to high temperature oxidation reaction and the shielding action of hydrogen at the contact surface, which is seem to be a reasonable explanation for super low friction at the elevated temperature.

TI A structural and spectrophotometric study on the complexation of Am(III) with TMOGA in comparison with the extracted complex of DMDOOGA SO DALTON TRANSACTIONS LA English DT Article ID ACTINIDE SEPARATIONS; TODGA; LANTHANIDES; ABSORPTION; LIGANDS; DIAMIDE AB Complexation of Am(III) with tetramethyl-3-oxa-glutaramide (TMOGA, L-I) is studied by spectrophotometric titrations and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Three successive complex species, [AmLI](3+), [AmL2I](3+), and [AmL3I](3+), have been identified and their stability constants are calculated to be 3.71 +/- 0.012, 5.95 +/- 0.021, and 6.93 +/- 0.034 respectively, from the absorption spectra collected from the titrations of Am(III) with LI at 25 degrees C in 1 M NaNO3. Single crystals of AmL3I(ClO4)(3) have been grown from a HClO4 solution containing Am3+ and L-I. The crystal structure of AmL3I(ClO4)(3) shows that Am(III) is coordinated by nine oxygen atoms from three L-I ligands. The deconvoluted UV-Vis absorption spectrum of [AmL3I](3+) in aqueous solution is nearly identical to the diffusion reflectance spectrum of AmL3I(ClO4)(3) in the solid state, indicating that the coordination geometry of the complexes is nearly the same. In addition, to provide parallels to solvent exaction, the extracted Am(III) complex with N,N'-dimethyl-N,N'-dioctyl-3-oxa-glutaramide (DMDOOGA, L-II) is also prepared and studied using spectrophotometry. The similarity in UV-Vis absorption of the extracted complex of Am(III) with L-II and [AmL3I](3+) suggests that the Am(III) ion is also coordinated by three tridentate L-II ligands existing as [AmL3II](3+) in the organic phase of solvent extraction.

Development steps such as optimization, tuning, porting, and debugging often motivate the use of tools, many of which operate at application runtime. Current trends in the HPC community, such as increasing compute core counts and the advent of new programming paradigms challenge the development of applications, as well as the development of runtime tools. Parallel tools infrastructures can help to simplify the development and adaption of runtime tools by reducing development time and increasing applicability. They can provide reusable tool components, communication services, and abstractions for scalable tools, which preserve lessons learned from existing tools projects. This paper defines an abstraction for a highly integrated infrastructure, which we implement in a prototype that targets MPI applications. Our abstraction enables an incorporation of common tasks such as instrumentation, i.e., observing application behavior, with existing concepts for tool communication, while at the same time enabling scalability. A formal description of our abstraction allows us to highlight its design and to differentiate it from alternatives, so tool developers have a clear understanding of the high-level approach that our infrastructure follows. Existing prototype tools that are based on this infrastructure demonstrate applicability at 1,024 and 16,384 processes respectively.

Prior research has shown that changing data layouts (e.g., interleaving arrays) can improve performance. However, there have been two major reasons why such optimizations are not widely used in practice: (1) the challenge of selecting an optimized layout for a given computing platform, and (2) the cost of re-writing codes to use different layouts for different platforms. We describe a source-to-source code transformation process that enables the generation of different codes with different array interleavings from the same source program, controlled by data layout specifications that are defined separately from the program. Performance results for multicore versions of the benchmarks show significant benefits on four different computing platforms (up to 22.23x for IRSmk, up to 3.68x for SRAD and up to 1.82x for LULESH). We also developed a new optimization algorithm to recommend a good layout for a given source program and specific target machine characteristics. Our results show that the performance obtained using this algorithm achieves 78 %-95% performance of the best manual layout on each platform for different benchmarks (IRSmk, SRAD, LULESH).

Advances in detector technologies enable increasingly complex experiments and more rapid data acquisition. However, analysis of the resulting data then becomes a bottleneck-preventing near-real-time error detection or experiment steering. We present here methods that leverage highly parallel computers to improve the performance of iterative tomographic image reconstruction applications. We apply these methods to the conventional per-slice parallelization approach and use them to implement a novel in-slice approach that can use many more processors. To address programmability, we implement the introduced methods in high-performance MapReduce-like computing middleware, which is further optimized for reconstruction operations. Experiments with four reconstruction algorithms and two large datasets show that our methods can scale up to 8K cores on an IBM BG/Q supercomputer with almost perfect speedup and can reduce total reconstruction times for large datasets by more than 95.4% on 32K cores relative to 1K cores. Moreover, the average reconstruction times are improved from similar to 2h (256 cores) to similar to 1min (32K cores), thus enabling near-real-time use.

This solver combines a multifluid methodology with selective interface sharpening to enable simulation of both the initial jet impingement and the long-time entrained bubble plume phenomena. Models are implemented for variable bubble size capturing and dynamic switching of interface sharpened regions to capture transitions between the initially fully segregated flow types into the dispersed bubbly flow regime. It was found that the solver was able to capture the salient features of the flow phenomena under study and areas for quantitative improvement have been explored and identified. In particular, a population balance approach is employed and detailed calibration of the underlying models with experimental data is required to enable quantitative prediction of bubble size and distribution to capture the transition between segregated and dispersed flow types with greater fidelity.

In this work, femtosecond-Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (fs-LIBS) is introduced for 3D chemical analysis of Li-ion solid state electrolytes in electrochemical energy storage systems. Spatially resolved chemical maps of major and minor elements in solid-state electrolyte Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) samples are presented, with a depth resolution of 700 nm. We implement newly-developed visualization techniques to chemically image the atomic ratio distributions in a LLZO solid state electrolyte matrix. Statistical analysis, 2D layer-by-layer analysis, 2D cross-sectional imaging and 3D reconstruction of atomic ratios are demonstrated for electrolyte samples prepared under different processing conditions. These results explain the differences in the physical properties of the samples not revealed by conventional characterization techniques, and demonstrate the ability of fs-LIBS for direct 3D elemental imaging of Li-ion battery solid-state electrolytes.

TI Combinatorial insights into doping control and transport properties of zinc tin nitride SO JOURNAL OF MATERIALS CHEMISTRY C LA English DT Article ID 1ST PRINCIPLES; SOLAR-CELLS; SEMICONDUCTOR; GROWTH; ZNSNN2; ABSORPTION; EFFICIENCY; WATER AB ZnSnN2 is an Earth-abundant semiconductor analogous to the III-nitrides with potential as a solar absorber due to its direct bandgap, steep absorption onset, and disorder-driven bandgap tunability. Despite these desirable properties, discrepancies in the fundamental bandgap and degenerate n-type carrier density have been prevalent issues in the limited amount of literature available on this material. Using a combinatorial RF co-sputtering approach, we have explored a growth-temperature-composition space for Zn1+xSn1-xN2 over the ranges 35-340 degrees C and 0.30-0.75 Zn/(Zn + Sn). In this way, we identified an optimal set of deposition parameters for obtaining as-deposited films with wurtzite crystal structure and carrier density as low as 1.8 x 10(18) cm(-3). Films grown at 230 degrees C with Zn/(Zn + Sn) = 0.60 were found to have the largest grain size overall (70 nm diameter on average) while also exhibiting low carrier density (3 x 10(18) cm(-3)) and high mobility (8.3 cm(2) V-1 s(-1)). Using this approach, we establish the direct bandgap of cation-disordered ZnSnN2 at 1.0 eV. Furthermore, we report tunable carrier density as a function of cation composition, in which lower carrier density is observed for higher Zn content. This relationship manifests as a Burstein-Moss shift widening the apparent bandgap as cation composition moves away from Zn-rich. Collectively, these findings provide important insight into the fundamental properties of the Zn-Sn-N material system and highlight the potential to utilize ZnSnN2 for photovoltaics.

The differences in electrochemical behavior of the different crystal orientations are discussed - especially with regard to the effect of the SET forming electrolyte additives fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) and vinylene carbonate (VC) added to ethylene carbonate (EC)/diethyl carbonate (DEC) based electrolytes. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FUR) of the SET during early stages of SET formation and physico-chemical investigations (wetting behavior) indicate a strong dependence of the chemical composition of the SET on the surface orientation and the electrolyte composition during the early stages of lithiation of Si. However, at a higher lithiation degree less difference in the chemical composition of the SET can be observed. These findings are in agreement with those made for the SEI formation on the Si(100) surface. (C) 2015 The Electrochemical Society. C1 [Vogl, U. S.; Lux, S.

Pt-ruthenium (Ru) nanoparticles have long been the state of the art MOR catalyst for direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) where Ru provides oxophilic sites, lowering the potential for carbon monoxide oxidation and the MOR onset. Ru, however, is a precious metal that has long term durability concerns. Ni/Ni oxide species offer a potential to replace Ru in MOR electrocatalysis. PtNiNWs were investigated for MOR and oxygen annealing was investigated as a route to improve catalyst performance (mass activity 65% greater) and stability to potential cycling. The results presented show that PtNiNWs offer significant promise in the area, but also result in Ni ion leaching that is a concern requiring further evaluation in fuel cells. (C) The Author(s) 2015.

Four LST pellets with different A-site deficiencies were annealed in simulated coal syngas and in simulated coal syngas containing 1 ppm PH3 at 900 degrees C for 100 hrs, respectively. XRD and SEM/EDS results indicate that each pellet had reacted with PH3. Little LaPO4, and much Sr-3(PO4)(2) and TiO2 were found on the surface of stoichiometric LST-1. No LaPO4 but Sr-3(PO4)(2) and TiO2 were observed on the surface of other A-site deficient specimens including LST-0.95, LST-0.9 and LST-0.85 after the exposure test. Chemical stability of LST for PH3 was effectively improved by reducing the A-site deficient composition. Sr located at grain boundaries on the surface of each LST pellet was found to possess the highest reactivity with PH3, and diffusion of Sr in the grain boundaries of LST and in Sr-3(PO4)(2) formed on the surface of LST facilitated the whole reaction. Sr consumption in LST resulted in precipitation of TiO2 and formation of LaPO4. The decrease of Sr and La chemical potentials with the increasing of A-site deficiency in LST was the dominant reaction suppression mechanism. (C) 2015 The Electrochemical Society.

Films fabricated using several ink formulations and film-drying techniques were characterized for a statistically significant number of independent samples The highest quality Pt/HSC films exhibited MA 870 +/- 91 mA/mgpt and SA 864 +/- 56 mu A/cm(2)pt while Pt/V had MA 706 +/- 42 mA/mgpt and SA 1120 +/- 70 mu A/cm(2)pt when measured in 0.1 M HClO4, 20 mV/s, 100 kPa O-2 and 23 +/- 2 degrees C. An enhancement factor of 2.8 in the measured SA was observable on eliminating Nafion ionomer and employing extremely thin, uniform films (similar to 4.5 mu g/cm(pt)(2)) of Pt/HSC. The ECA for Pt/HSC (99 +/- 7 m(2)/g(pt)) and Pt/V (65 +/- 5 m(2)/gpt) were statistically invariant and insensitive to film uniformity/thickness/fabrication technique; accordingly, enhancements in MA are wholly attributable to increases in SA. Impedance measurements coupled with scanning electron microscopy were used to de-convolute the losses within the catalyst layer and ascribed to the catalyst layer resistance, oxygen diffusion, and sulfonate anion adsorption/blocking. The ramifications of these results for proton exchange membrane fuel cells have also been examined. (C) The Author(s) 2015. Published by ECS. All rights reserved.

This work examines the suitability of the established procedures over a wider range of concentrations comparable to those expected in the normal operation of an electrorefiner used in the pyrochemical processing of used nuclear fuel. We found that electrochemical methods can be used for very precise concentration measurements up to approximately 2 wt%. For higher actinide concentrations, the value of the diffusion coefficient decreases and these variations have to be taken into consideration. We also investigated the application of voltammetry for analyzing systems containing multiple elements (U3+ and Pu3+) and found that a zero current baseline determination of the second or succeeding peak in the voltammogram is not a correct approach, since that peak is affected by the tail from the peak that preceded it. We then used a different method of data analysis that allows for an accurate baseline determination and can be used to analyze systems involving more than one component. (C) The Author(s) 2015.

In particular, 4 to 6 nm in size silica supported Au100-xPdx (x = 30, 46 and 58) explored for catalytic applications is characterized structurally by total scattering experiments including high-energy synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD) coupled to atomic pair distribution function (PDF) analysis. Atomic-level models for the NPs are built by molecular dynamics simulations based on the archetypal for current theoretical modeling Sutton-Chen (SC) method. Models are matched against independent experimental data and are demonstrated to be inaccurate unless their theoretical foundation, i.e. the SC method, is supplemented with basic yet crucial information on the length and strength of metal-to-metal bonds and, when necessary, structural disorder in the actual NPs studied. An atomic PDF-based approach for accessing such information and implementing it in theoretical modeling is put forward. For completeness, the approach is concisely demonstrated on 15 nm in size water-dispersed Au particles explored for bio-medical applications and 16 nm in size hexane-dispersed Fe48Pd52 particles explored for magnetic applications as well. It is argued that when "tuned up" against experiments relevant to metals and alloys confined to nanoscale dimensions, such as total scattering coupled to atomic PDF analysis, rather than by mere intuition and/or against data for the respective solids, atomic-level theoretical modeling can provide a sound understanding of the synthesis-structure-property relationships in real-world metallic NPs. Ultimately this can help advance nanoscience and technology a step closer to producing metallic NPs by rational design.

The effect of alloying on nanoparticle adsorption isotherms is provided by a hybrid-ensemble Monte Carlo simulation that uses the cluster expansion method extended to non-exchangeable coupled lattices for nanoalloys with adsorbates. Exemplified here for the hydrogen evolution reaction, a 2-dimensional CV is mapped for Pd-Pt nanoalloys as a function of both electrochemical potential and the global Pt composition, and shows a highly non-linear alloying effect on CV. Detailed features in CV arise from the interplay among the H-adsorption in multiple sites that is closely correlated with alloy configurations, which are in turn affected by the H-coverage. The origins of specific features in CV curves are assigned. The method provides a more complete means to design nanoalloys for electrocatalysis.

Studying their electrochemical dealloying is a fundamental step towards the understanding of both their activity and stability. Herein, size-selected 9 nm PtxY nanoparticles have been deposited on the cathode side of a PEMFC specifically designed for in situ ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (APXPS). The dealloying mechanism was followed in situ for the first time. It proceeds through the progressive oxidation of alloyed Y atoms, soon leading to the accumulation of Y3+ cations at the cathode. Acid leaching with sulfuric acid is capable of accelerating the dealloying process and removing these Y3+ cations which might cause long term degradation of the membrane. The use of APXPS under near operating conditions allowed observing the population of oxygenated surface species as a function of the electrochemical potential.

TI Structural evolution of an intermetallic Pd-Zn catalyst selective for propane dehydrogenation SO PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY CHEMICAL PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID X-RAY-DIFFRACTION; ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY; SUPPORTED PALLADIUM; REFORMING CATALYSTS; DYNAMIC STRUCTURE; PD/ZNO CATALYSTS; SURFACE ALLOYS; COMPOUND ZNPD; PARTICLE-SIZE; METHANOL AB We report the structural evolution of Pd-Zn alloys in a 3.6% Pd-12% Zn/Al2O3 catalyst which is selective for propane dehydrogenation. High signal-to-noise, in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used quantitatively, in addition to in situ diffuse-reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) to follow the structural changes in the catalyst as a function of reduction temperature. XRD in conjunction with DRIFTS of adsorbed CO indicated that the beta(1)-PdZn intermetallic alloy structure formed at reduction temperatures as low as 230 degrees C, likely first at the surface, but did not form extensively throughout the bulk until 500 degrees C which was supported by in situ EXAFS. DRIFTS results suggested there was little change in the surfaces of the nanoparticles above 325 degrees C. The intermetallic alloy which formed was Pd-rich at all temperatures but became less Pd-rich with increasing reduction temperature as more Zn incorporated into the structure. In addition to the b1-PdZn alloy, a solid solution phase with face-center cubic structure (alpha-PdZn) was present in the catalyst, also becoming more Zn-rich with increasing reduction temperature.

Their physical properties and the order/disorder phase transition induced by annealing have been investigated depending on the route of synthesis. It is demonstrated that the chemical synthesis at high temperature allows stabilization of the fcc structure of the native nanoalloys while the soft chemical approach yields mainly poly or non crystalline structure. As a result the approach of the order/disorder phase transition is strongly modified as observed by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) studies performed during in situ annealing of the different nanoalloys. The control of the nanocrystallinity leads to significant decrease in the chemical ordering temperature as the ordered structure is observed at temperatures as low as 420 degrees C. This in turn preserves the individual nanocrystals and prevents their coalescence usually observed during the annealing necessary for the transition to an ordered phase.

In the latter case, the unexpected Ru enrichment could be attributed to the weak adhesion of Ru on the carbon support, thus allowing Ru particles to diffuse on Au particles. Both structures result very active in catalysing the liquid phase hydrogenolysis of glycerol and levulinic acid but the activity, the selectivity and the stability depend on the structure of the bimetallic nanoparticles. Ru@Au/AC core-shell structure mostly behaved as the monometallic Ru, whereas the presence of bimetallic AuRu phase in Au@Ru/AC provides a great beneficial effect on both activity and stability.

In order to rationalize this, we prepared single-layered films of P(VDF-TrFE) (70 : 30) using both deposition techniques. Grazing incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering (GIWAXS), reveals that Langmuir-Blodgett deposited films have a higher concentration of the ferroelectric beta-phase crystals, and that these films are highly oriented with respect to the substrate. Based on these observations, we suggest alternative means of deposition, which may substantially enhance the electrocaloric effect in P(VDF-TrFE) films. This development has significant implications for the potential use of P(VDF-TrFE) in solid-state refrigeration. C1 [Lindemann, W. R.; Philiph, R. L.; Perez, E. M.; Beckman, S.

Ensuring the thermodynamic stability of such structures requires inter-component interaction energies to increase logarithmically with structure size, in order to counter the entropy gained upon mixing component types in solution. However, self-assembly in the presence of strong interactions results in general in kinetic trapping, so suggesting a limit to the size of an (equilibrium) structure that can be self-assembled from distinguishable components. Here we study numerically a two-dimensional hierarchical assembly scheme already considered in experiment. We show that this scheme is immune to the kinetic traps associated with strong 'native' interactions (interactions designed to stabilize the intended structure), and so, in principle, offers a way to make large information-rich structures. In this scheme the size of an assembled structure scales exponentially with the stage of assembly, and assembly can continue as long as random motion is able to bring structures into contact. The resulting superstructure could provide a template for building in the third dimension. The chief drawback of this scheme is that it is particularly susceptible to kinetic traps that result from 'non-native' interactions (interactions not required to stabilize the intended structure); the scale on which such a scheme can be realized therefore depends upon how effectively this latter kind of interaction can be suppressed.

Aiming at these conditions, a building model is established with simulation software in the research herein to deeply analyze the energy-saving effect of building envelope transformation in different climatic regions and its economic efficiency based on regional and national policies. The research results show that any single technology is difficult to completely satisfy the requirements of current energy efficiency standards, and technical measures should be taken according to different climatic regions. For the northern heating area, the building envelope transformation must be carried out simultaneously with the transformation of heat metering. Policy formulation and fund determination for the energy-saving transformation of existing buildings in China should be more flexible based on transformation effect and rely more on social and commercial forces rather than solely on the promotion of government.

In these situations, ice crystals can form at depth, rise and deposit under the sea-ice cover to form a porous layer that eventually consolidates near the base of the existing sea ice. The least consolidated portion is called the sub-ice platelet layer. Congelation growth eventually causes the sub-ice platelet layer to become frozen into the sea-ice cover as incorporated platelet ice. In this study, we simulate these processes in three dimensions using Voronoi dynamics to govern crystal growth kinetics. Platelet deposition, in situ growth and incorporation into the sea-ice cover are integrated into the model. Heat and mass transfer are controlled by diffusion. We extract and compare spatial temporal distributions of porosity, salinity, temperature and crystallographic c-axes with observations from McMurdo Sound, Antarctica. The model captures the crystallographic structure of incorporated platelet ice as well as the topology of the sub-ice platelet layer. The solid fraction, which has previously been poorly constrained, is simulated to be similar to 0.22, in good agreement with an earlier estimate of 0.25 +/- 0.06. This property of the sub-ice platelet layer is important for biological processes, and for the freeboard-thickness relationship around Antarctica.

A particular aim of this review is to show how diverse ideas came together in the conception of electroweak symmetry breaking that led up to the discovery.

This review includes the physics motivation behind nuSTORM, a detailed description of the facility and the neutrino beams it can produce, and a summary of the short-baseline neutrino oscillation physics program that can be carried out at the facility. The basic idea for nuSTORM (the production of neutrino beams from the decay of muons in a racetrack-like decay ring) was discussed in the literature more than 30 years ago in the context of searching for noninteracting (sterile) neutrinos. However, only in the past 5 years has the concept been fully developed, motivated in large part by the facility's unmatched reach in addressing the evolving data on oscillations involving sterile neutrinos. Finally, this article reviews the basics of the mu(+)mu(-) collider concept and describes how nuSTORM provides a platform to test advanced concepts for six-dimensional muon ionization cooling.

We review the effective field theory framework that establishes a clean connection between (a) (T) over bar mechanisms, which can be represented by higher-dimensional operators involving SM fields and symmetries, and (b) hadronic interactions, which allow for controlled calculations of low-energy observables involving strong interactions. The chiral properties of (T) over bar mechanisms lead to a pattern that should be identifiable in measurements of the electric dipole moments of the nucleon and light nuclei.

Considerable progress has been made over the past 20 years in exploring the properties of pure neutron fluids. We begin by reviewing research exploring the behavior of very low density neutron matter, which forms a strongly paired superfluid and is thus similar to cold Fermi atoms, although at energy scales that differ by many orders of magnitude. We then review the behavior of higher-density neutron matter, discussing research that ties the study of neutron matter to the determination of the properties of neutron-rich nuclei and neutron star crusts. Finally, we review the impact that neutron matter at even higher densities has on the mass-radius relation of neutron stars, thereby making contact with astrophysical observations.

With the recent observation of electron antineutrino disappearance at baselines of 1 to 2 km from groups of reactors, the smallest neutrino mixing angle, theta(13), has been unambiguously determined. The rather large value of theta(13) enables the pursuit of CP violation and mass hierarchy in the neutrino sector.

The energy of a circular collider is limited by the strength of bending dipoles, and its maximum luminosity is determined by the strength of final focus quadrupoles. For this reason, the high-energy physics and accelerator communities have shown much interest in higher-field and higher-gradient superconducting accelerator magnets. The maximum field of NbTi magnets used in all present high-energy machines, including the LHC, is limited to similar to 10 T at 1.9 K. Fields above 10 T became possible with the use of Nb3Sn superconductors. Nb3Sn accelerator magnets can provide operating fields up to similar to 15 T and can significantly increase the coil temperature margin. Accelerator magnets with operating fields above 15 T require high-temperature superconductors. This review discusses the status and main results of Nb3Sn accelerator magnet research and development and work toward 20-T magnets.

This progress is largely a consequence of the ability to perform continuum extrapolations with physical quark masses. We review recent progress in lattice QCD thermodynamics, focusing mainly on results that benefit from the use of physical quark masses: the crossover temperature, the equation of state, and fluctuations of the quark number susceptibilities. In addition, we emphasize calculations that are directly relevant to the study of relativistic heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and the LHC. C1 [Soltz, R.

CH4 conversion and aromatic product yield decrease with increasing WHSV from 750 to 9000 cm(3) g(cat)(-1) h(-1). C6H6 is the main C-containing product at and below 3000 cm(3) g(cat)(-1) h(-1) whereas C2H4 dominates the C-product distribution at higher WHSVs. Due to selective removal of H-2 from the reaction products in catalytic membrane reactors, C6H6 yield is significantly improved over the whole WHSV range compared to those obtained in fixed-bed reactors. H-2 recovery is strongly influenced by WHSV as it decreases from 48.3% at 750 cm(3) g(cat)(-1) h(-1) to 6.8% at 9000 cm(3) g(cat)(-1) h(-1). There exists a trade-off between catalytic activity and H-2 recovery, which results in the maximum enhancement (similar to 360%) in C6H6 yield at 3000 cm(3) g(cat)(-1) h(-1). At this intermediate space velocity, the largest concentration of H-2 is found in the retentate stream and helps alleviate coke accumulation particularly on HZSM-5. Carbon is deposited on the inner surface of the membrane reactor portion in contact with the catalyst bed and transports to the outer surface, thus causing H-2 permeability to decrease over the 15 h reaction period.

TI Assay for lignin breakdown based on lignin films: insights into the Fenton reaction with insoluble lignin SO GREEN CHEMISTRY LA English DT Article ID WHITE-ROT FUNGI; PHANEROCHAETE-CHRYSOSPORIUM; TRAMETES-VERSICOLOR; DICARBOXYLIC-ACIDS; HYDROGEN-PEROXIDE; PHOTO-FENTON; DEGRADATION; OXIDATION; REAGENT; DEPOLYMERIZATION AB We report a new assay for breakdown of high molecular weight, insoluble lignin based on lignin films. In this method, decrease in film thickness is detected upon solubilization of mass through either chemical alteration of the lignin or molecular weight reduction. The assay was performed with organosolv lignin, the only chemical modification being an oxidative pretreatment to provide film stability with respect to dissolution. The assay is sensitive to release of as little as 20A of material from the fil. A multiplexed format was developed using a silicone block in the form of a standard 96-well plate, allowing simultaneous assaying of a large number of reaction conditions. The assay was demonstrated using the Fenton reaction, revealing new insights into the physicochemical aspects of this reaction system with insoluble lignin. In particular, mass solubilized from the film was found to pass through a maximum as a function of the initial concentration of FeCl2 ([FeCl2](o)), with the maximum occurring at [FeCl2](o) = 1 mM for [H2O2](o) = 5%. At that condition, solubilization of mass occurs in two stages. The reaction produces mostly ring-opened products of mass greater than 700 g mol(-1), along with a minority of low molecular weight aromatics. The new insight from this work is an important step toward optimizing this complex reaction system for effective lignin breakdown.

Utilizing water-free ALD Al2O3 passivation, a minimum of ten-fold increase in stability against relative humidity (RH) 85% was achieved along with a dramatically improved thermal resistance (up to 250 degrees C). Moreover, we extend this approach to synthesize nh-TiO2 directly on hybrid perovskites to establish its potential in inverted photovoltaic devices as a dual stabilizing and electron accepting layer, as evidenced by photoluminescence (PL) quenching.

Herein, a class of novel microporous hyper-crosslinked polymers (HCPs), based on green and renewable carbohydrates, was synthesized by Friedel-Crafts alkylation for carbon capture and storage by hydrogen bonding and dipole-quadrupole interactions. These carbohydrate polymers, which have BET surface areas around 800 m(2) g(-1), can absorb a considerable amount of CO2 with the CO2/N-2 selectivity up to 42 at 273 K, and 96 under 100 kPa in the mixed gases (0.15 mol CO2 and 0.85 mol N-2). Furthermore, we experimentally and computationally studied the structures of carbohydrate backbones and determined several features that govern their CO2 absorption ability, which sheds light on understanding the structure/function relationship for designing better CO2 separation materials.

Electrochemical tests reveal that the half-wave potential of Pd3V/C-500 shifts positively 40 mV compared with Pd/C. However, the catalytic activity of Pd3V/C-500 suffers from serious degradation after 1k cycles. By a spontaneous displacement reaction or co-reduction method, a trace amount of Pt was decorated on the surface or inside of the Pd3V/C nanoparticles. The catalytic activity and stability of the Pd3V@Pt/C and Pt-Pd3V/C catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) are enhanced significantly, and are comparable to commercial Pt/C. In addition, the Pt mass activity of Pd3V@Pt/C and Pt-Pd3V/C improves by factors of 10.9 and 6.5 at 0.80 V relative to Pt/C. Moreover, Pt-decorated Pd3V/C nanoparticles show almost no obvious morphology change after durability tests, because the Pt-rich shell plays an important role in preventing degradation.

TI Plasticizing Li single-ion conductors with low-volatility siloxane copolymers and oligomers containing ethylene oxide and cyclic carbonates SO JOURNAL OF MATERIALS CHEMISTRY A LA English DT Article ID GEL POLYMER ELECTROLYTE; LITHIUM BATTERIES; CONDUCTIVITY; PERFORMANCE; IONOMERS; POLYELECTROLYTES; ESTER AB To prepare a safe electrolyte for lithium ion batteries, two groups of novel low-volatility plasticizers combining pendant cyclic carbonates and short ethylene oxide chains have been successfully synthesized, as confirmed by H-1, C-13 and Si-29 NMR spectroscopy. The Fox equation describes the composition dependence of the glass transition temperature (T-g) very well for the random polysiloxane-based copolymer plasticizers (11 000 < M < 13 000) while the smaller oligomer plasticizers have T-g as much as 20 K lower than the Fox equation prediction because of their lower molecular weight (450 < M < 700). The Landau-Lifshitz mixing rule describes the dielectric constant of the random polysiloxane-based copolymer plasticizers at all temperatures above T-g. Mixing with 20 wt% polysiloxane tetraphenyl borate - Li ionomer (14 mol% borate and 86 mol% cyclic carbonate) increases conductivity relative to the neat ionomer by lowering T-g, increasing dielectric constant and providing better solvation of Li+. The best oligomeric plasticizer only has T-g 10 K lower than the Fox prediction but has dielectric constant 30% larger than expected by the Landau-Lifshitz mixing rule, owing to a surprisingly low viscosity, resulting in ambient conductivity 2 x 10(-5) S cm(-1). For both groups of plasticizers, the fraction of cyclic carbonates relative to ethylene oxide governs the magnitude and temperature dependence of the ionic conductivity.

Scanning electron microscopy revealed two different length scales of grains in samples with higher I and MgTe contents, while a homogenous microstructure for samples with a lower dopant content. Transmission electron microscopy revealed ubiquitous spherical nanoprecipitates in PbTe1-xIx with MgTe and nanoscale disk like precipitates in both, PbTe1-xIx with and without MgTe. The nanostructured PbTe showed higher Seebeck coefficients than expected values. We also observed a slower rate of increase in the electrical resistivity with rising temperature in PbTe1-xIx-yMgTe below B550 K, leading to a higher thermoelectric power factor. The nanostructures and mixed microstructures scatter phonons, reducing the lattice thermal conductivity as low as 0.4 W K-1 m(-1) at 600 K. A high ZT of 1.2 at 700 K was achieved as well as a high average ZT of 0.8 was observed in PbTe0.996I0.004-1 mol% MgTe for a cold-side temperature of 303 K and a hot-side temperature of 873 K.

Based on density functional theory calculations, this group of materials is predicted to attain high zT (i.e. similar to 1.8 for p-type trigonal TmAgTe2 at 600 K). Among approximately 500 chemical variants of XYZ(2) explored, many candidates with good stability and favorable electronic band structures (with high band degeneracy leading to high power factor) are presented. Trigonal TmAgTe2 has been synthesized and exhibits an extremely low measured thermal conductivity of 0.2-0.3 W m(-1) K-1 for T > 600 K. The zT value achieved thus far for p-type trigonal TmAgTe2 is approximately 0.35, and is limited by a low hole concentration (similar to 10(17) cm(-3) at room temperature). Defect calculations indicate that Tm-Ag antisite defects are very likely to form and act as hole killers. Further defect engineering to reduce such X-Y antisites is deemed important to optimize the zT value of the p-type TmAgTe2.

The calculations reveal that an endohedral double cage isomer is more stable than the diamond-like structure, whereas the opposite is found for the hydrogen passivated isomers. In particular, the hydrogenated double cage and diamond-like structure may display blue shifts to the visible and UV regions, respectively. The IR vibration spectra, ionization potential (IP) and electronic density-of-states of the clusters were calculated and discussed.

Under vacuum, the most favorable near surface structures showed an enrichment in Pt over the M species. An analysis of the electronic structure of the metal species in the clean surfaces with different near surface structures was done with the d-band model and showed that the Pt's d-states are significantly shifted away from the Fermi level due to the Pt-M interactions while the M species' d-states were less affected, with Ni's d-band shifting closer to the Fermi level and Fe's d-band shifting away from the Fermi level. The adsorption of aromatics, benzene and phenol, on several near surface structures for the PtM and PtM3 (111) surfaces showed that higher surface M concentrations resulted in a stronger adsorption due to the larger amount of charge transferred between the adsorbate and surface. However, compared to the adsorption of benzene and phenol on monometallic surfaces, the adsorption of these species on the PtM and PtM3 (111) surfaces was significantly weakened. Overall, our results show that the observed behavior of these Pt/Fe and Pt/Ni alloys is similar to that seen for the previously studied Pd/Fe surfaces. Furthermore, balancing the weakly adsorbing Pt surface species with the more strongly interacting Fe or Ni species can lead to the tailored adsorption of aromatics with applications in both hydrodeoxygenation and hydrogenation reactions by increasing the desorption rate of wanted aromatic products.

In this paper, we detail how we synchronously prepared composite CEs of CoS nanosheet arrays and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) layers for the first time via a low temperature, ultrafast one-step electrochemical strategy. With this approach, the whole fabrication process of the composite CEs was only a small percentage of the average time (similar to 15 hours) using other methods. The DSSC assembled with the rGO-CoS composite CE achieved an enhanced power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 8.34%, which is dramatically higher than 6.27% of pure CoS CE-based DSSC and even exceeds 7.50% of Pt CE-based DSSC. The outstanding PCE breakthrough is undoubtedly attributed to the enhancement in electrocatalytic ability of the rGO-CoS composite CE due to the incorporation of highly conducting rGO layers and the GO layers-induced growth of CoS nanosheet arrays with higher density and larger surface area. Therefore, lower charge-transfer resistance and higher exchange current density can be achieved as corroborated by the electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS) and Tafel polarization curves (TPCs). Further experiments also proved that the electrochemical strategy exhibited its universality of fabricating other graphene-enhanced chalcogenide functional composite films.

TI Expanding the nuclear forensic toolkit: chemical profiling of uranium ore concentrate particles by synchrotron X-ray microanalysis SO RSC ADVANCES LA English DT Article ID INFRARED REFLECTANCE SPECTROSCOPY; YELLOW CAKES; RADIATION; ATTRIBUTION; ORIGIN; STATE AB Nuclear forensic trace evidence may include particles of unknown nuclear or radiological substances which would need to be indentified in an investigation. In this study we report the novel application of synchrotron X-ray microanalysis techniques to characterise the chemistry of particles derived from several uranium ore concentrates (UOCs). Using a combination of micro-focused X-ray diffraction and X-ray absorption spectroscopy, the uranium speciation in particles of 12 UOCs from different geographical sources was identified. Particles were classified based on their composition; four samples were found to contain only U3O8, four samples were comprised of various U(VI) species and the final four were binary mixtures. In addition to U3O8, the identified materials included ammonium, sodium and copper uranate species, and various hydroxide and sulphate phases. Differences in the crystal structure of UOCs which contained the same material were identifiable by mu-XRD, and were hypothesised to be as a result of differences in process conditions. Consistency in particle speciation was assessed in several samples, some of which were found to contain variable levels of two component materials and minor crystalline impurities. Although this variability limits the intrinsic interpretation of single particle microanalysis data in terms of sample provenance, the non-destructive and highly specific analysis of nuclear fuel cycle materials demonstrated in this study will be of value to complex nuclear forensic investigations.

The flexibility of this synthetic route was demonstrated using precursor powders of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles, as well as a reduced TiOxNy. An advantage of this synthetic method is the ability to directly control the extent of fluorination as a function of reaction temperature and time. The TiOF2 synthesized from TiO2 and TiOxNy showed reversible capacities of 300 mA h g(-1) and 440 mA h g(-1), respectively, over 100 cycles. The higher reversible capacity of the TiOF2 powders derived from TiOxNy likely relate to the partial reduction of the Ti in the fluorinated electrode material, highlighting a route to optimize the properties of conversion electrode materials.

In this study, we used plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) to directly grow a thin layer of carbon nanospikes (CNS) on cylindrical metal substrates. No catalyst is required and the CNS surface coverage is uniform over the cylindrical metal substrate. The CNS growth was characterized on several metallic substrates including tantalum, niobium, palladium, and nickel wires. Using fast-scan cyclic voltammetry (FSCV), bare metal wires could not detect 1 mu M dopamine while carbon nanospike coated wires could. The highest sensitivity and optimized S/N ratio was recorded from carbon nanospike-tantalum (CNS-Ta) microwires grown for 7.5 minutes, which had a LOD of 8 +/- 2 nM for dopamine with FSCV. CNS-Ta microelectrodes were more reversible and had a smaller Delta E-p for dopamine than carbon-fiber microelectrodes, suggesting faster electron transfer kinetics. The kinetics of dopamine redox were adsorption controlled at CNS-Ta microelectrodes and repeated electrochemical measurements displayed stability for up to ten hours in vitro and over a ten day period as well. The oxidation potential was significantly different for ascorbic acid and uric acid compared to dopamine. Growing carbon nanospikes on metal wires is a promising method to produce uniformly-coated, carbon nanostructured cylindrical microelectrodes for sensitive dopamine detection.

Here, we propose an MSI methodology to increase the diversity of chemical compounds that can be imaged and identified, in order to eventually perform untargeted metabolomic analysis using MSI. In this approach, we use the desorption/ionization bias of various matrixes for different metabolite classes along with dual polarities and a tandem MSI strategy. The use of multiple matrixes and dual polarities allows us to visualize various classes of compounds, while data-dependent MS/MS spectra acquired in the same MSI scans allow us to identify the compounds directly on the tissue. In a proof of concept application to a germinated corn seed, a total of 166 unique ions were determined to have high-quality MS/MS spectra, without counting structural isomers, of which 52 were identified as unique compounds. According to an estimation based on precursor MSI datasets, we expect over five hundred metabolites could be potentially identified and visualized once all experimental conditions are optimized and an MS/MS library is available. Lastly, metabolites involved in the glycolysis pathway and tricarboxylic acid cycle were imaged to demonstrate the potential of this technology to better understand metabolic biology.

TI Full-physics 3-D heterogeneous simulations of electromagnetic induction fields on level and deformed sea ice SO ANNALS OF GLACIOLOGY LA English DT Article DE electromagnetic induction; ice thickness measurements; sea-ice geophysics; sea-ice modelling ID 1D AB In this paper we explore simulated responses of electromagnetic (EM) signals relative to in situ field surveys and quantify the effects that different values of conductivity in sea ice have on the EM fields. We compute EM responses of ice types with a three-dimensional (3-D) finite-volume discretization of Maxwell's equations and present 2-D sliced visualizations of their associated EM fields at discrete frequencies. Several interesting observations result: First, since the simulator computes the fields everywhere, each gridcell acts as a receiver within the model volume, and captures the complete, coupled interactions between air, snow, sea ice and sea water as a function of their conductivity; second, visualizations demonstrate how 1-D approximations near deformed ice features are violated. But the most important new finding is that changes in conductivity affect EM field response by modifying the magnitude and spatial patterns (i.e. footprint size and shape) of current density and magnetic fields. These effects are demonstrated through a visual feature we define as 'null lines'. Null line shape is affected by changes in conductivity near material boundaries as well as transmitter location. Our results encourage the use of null lines as a planning tool for better ground-truth field measurements near deformed ice types.

TI Observation of isoprene hydroxynitrates in the southeastern United States and implications for the fate of NOx SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID VOLATILE ORGANIC-COMPOUNDS; NOCTURNAL BOUNDARY-LAYER; OH-INITIATED OXIDATION; REGIONAL AIR-QUALITY; ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY; MASS-SPECTROMETRY; AEROSOL FORMATION; TROPOSPHERIC DEGRADATION; NO3-INITIATED OXIDATION; HYDROPEROXY RADICALS AB Isoprene hydroxynitrates (IN) are tracers of the photochemical oxidation of isoprene in high NOx environments. Production and loss of IN have a significant influence on the NOx cycle and tropospheric O-3 chemistry. To better understand IN chemistry, a series of photochemical reaction chamber experiments was conducted to determine the IN yield from isoprene photooxidation at high NO concentrations (>100 ppt). By combining experimental data and calculated isomer distributions, a total IN yield of 9(+4/-3)% was derived. The result was applied in a zero-dimensional model to simulate production and loss of ambient IN observed in a temperate forest atmosphere, during the Southern Oxidant and Aerosol Study (SOAS) field campaign, from 27 May to 11 July 2013. The 9% yield was consistent with the observed IN/(MVK+MACR) ratios observed during SOAS. By comparing field observations with model simulations, we identified NO as the limiting factor for ambient IN production during SOAS, but vertical mixing at dawn might also contribute (similar to 27 %) to IN dynamics. A close examination of isoprene's oxidation products indicates that its oxidation transitioned from a high-NO dominant chemical regime in the morning into a low-NO dominant regime in the afternoon. A significant amount of IN produced in the morning high NO regime could be oxidized in the low NO regime, and a possible reaction scheme was proposed. C1 [Xiong, F.; McAvey, K. M.; Pratt, K.

TI Y Chemically directing d-block heterometallics to nanocrystal surfaces as molecular beacons of surface structure SO CHEMICAL SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID PBSE SEMICONDUCTOR NANOCRYSTALS; COLLOIDAL NANOCRYSTALS; QUANTUM DOTS; ORGANOMETALLOIDAL DERIVATIVES; ELECTRONIC-STRUCTURE; TRANSITION-METALS; COMPLEXES; CHEMISTRY; LIGANDS; SILICON AB Our understanding of structure and bonding in nanoscale materials is incomplete without knowledge of their surface structure. Needed are better surveying capabilities responsive not only to different atoms at the surface, but also their respective coordination environments. We report here that d-block organometallics, when placed at nanocrystal surfaces through heterometallic bonds, serve as molecular beacons broadcasting local surface structure in atomic detail. This unique ability stems from their elemental specificity and the sensitivity of their d-orbital level alignment to local coordination environment, which can be assessed spectroscopically. Re-surfacing cadmium and lead chalcogenide nanocrystals with iron- or ruthenium-based molecular beacons is readily accomplished with trimethylsilylated cyclopentadienyl metal carbonyls. For PbSe nanocrystals with iron-based beacons, we show how core-level X-ray spectroscopies and DFT calculations enrich our understanding of both charge and atomic reorganization at the surface when beacons are bound.

TI Atomic-scale identification of Pd leaching in nanoparticle catalyzed C-C coupling: effects of particle surface disorder SO CHEMICAL SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID PALLADIUM NANOPARTICLES; SUZUKI REACTION; HECK REACTIONS; NANOCATALYSTS; MECHANISM; SIZE; ELUCIDATION; STABILITY; VIEW AB C-C coupling reactions are of great importance in the synthesis of numerous organic compounds, where Pd nanoparticle catalyzed systems represent new materials to efficiently drive these reactions. Despite their pervasive utility, the catalytic mechanism of these particle-based reactions remains highly contested. Herein we present evidence of an atom leaching mechanism for Stille coupling under aqueous conditions using peptide-capped Pd nanoparticles. EXAFS analysis revealed Pd coordination changes in the nanoparticle consistent with Pd atom abstraction, where sizing analysis by SAXS confirmed particle size changes associated with a leaching process. It is likely that recently discovered highly disordered surface Pd atoms are the favored catalytic active sites and are leached during oxidative addition, resulting in smaller particles. Probing the mechanism of nanoparticle-driven C-C coupling reactions through structural analyses provides fundamental information concerning these active sites and their reactivity at the atomic-scale, which can be used to improve catalytic performance to meet important sustainability goals.

Solutions of MeTODGA and Me(2)TODGA in alkane diluents were subjected to Co-60 gamma-irradiation in the presence and absence of nitric acid and analyzed using LC-MS to determine their rates of radiolytic concentration decrease, as well as to identify radiolysis products. The results of product identification from three different laboratories are compared and found to be in good agreement. The diglycolamide (DGA) concentrations decreased exponentially with increasing absorbed dose. The MeTODGA degradation rate constants (dose constants) were uninfluenced by the presence of nitric acid, but the acid increased the rate of degradation for Me(2)TODGA. The degradation products formed by irradiation are also initially produced in greater amounts in acid-contacted solution, but products may also be degraded by continued radiolysis. The identified radiolysis products suggest that the weakest bonds are those in the diglycolamide center of these molecules.

The results, presented in Section 1, show that a new state J(PC) = 1(++) state never reported before, the a(1)(1420), decaying to f(0)(980)pi followed by f(0)(980) -> pi pi. In addition, the Collaboration reports an exotic J(PC) = 1(-+) state, the pi(1)(1600), which cannot be a quarkonium. Both states are likely to be a tetra-quark, i.e. q (q) over bar +q (q) over bar or a gluonic hybrid, a q (q) over bar object with an excited gluon inside it. Section 2 is devoted to a brief discussion of the central production of resonances, which is being investigated by both COMPASS and ALICE collaborations. However, the results are not yet released, so it is limited to a broad discussion of the central production, with emphasis on different analyses dictated by differences in the experimental setup.

Thus, they provide an experimental basis for revealing ancient solar activities represented by solar-wind implants in natural samples. We measured the first depth profile of He-4 in a Genesis collector; the shallow implantation (peaking at <20 nm) required us to use sputtered neutral mass spectrometry with post-photoionization by a strong field. The solar wind He fluence calculated using depth profiling is similar to 8.5 x 10(14) cm(-2). The shape of the solar wind He-4 depth profile is consistent with TRIM simulations using the observed He-4 velocity distribution during the Genesis mission. It is therefore likely that all solar-wind elements heavier than H are completely intact in this Genesis collector and, consequently, the solar particle energy distributions for each element can be calculated from their depth profiles. Ancient solar activities and space weathering of solar system objects could be quantitatively reproduced by solar particle implantation profiles.

Class I and II force fields mostly calculate with fixed atomic charges which can cause inadequate descriptions for highly charged molecules, for example, ion channels or metalloproteins. Changes in charge distributions can be included into molecular mechanics calculations by various methods. Here, we present a very fast computational quantum mechanical method, the Bond Polarization Theory (BPT). Atomic charges are obtained via a charge calculation method that depend on the 3D structure of the system in a similar way as atomic charges of ab initio calculations. Different methods of population analysis and charge calculation methods and their dependence on the basis set were investigated. A refined parameterization yielded excellent correlation of R = 0.9967. The method was implemented in the force field COSMOS-NMR and applied to the histidine-tryptophan-complex of the transmembrane domain of the chi(2) protein channel of influenza A virus. Our calculations show thatmoderate changes of side chain torsion angle chi(1) and small variations of.. 2 of Trp-41 are necessary to switch from the inactivated into the activated state; and a rough two-side jump model of His-37 is supported for proton gating in accordance with a flipping mechanism.

In these cases, two-dimensional (2-D) flowline models are often used to study glacier dynamics. Here we systematically investigate the applicability of a 2-D, first-order Stokes approximation flowline model (FLM), modified by shape factors, for the simulation of land-terminating glaciers by comparing it with a 3-D, 'full'-Stokes ice-flow model (FSM). Based on steady-state and transient, thermomechanically uncoupled and coupled computational experiments, we explore the sensitivities of the FLM and FSM to ice geometry, temperature and forward model integration time. We find that, compared to the FSM, the FLM generally produces slower horizontal velocities, due to simplifications inherent to the FLM and to the underestimation of the shape factor. For polythermal glaciers, those with temperate ice zones, or when basal sliding is important, we find significant differences between simulation results when using the FLM versus the FSM. Over time, initially small differences between the FLM and FSM become much larger, particularly near cold/temperate ice transition surfaces. Long time integrations further increase small initial differences between the two models. We conclude that the FLM should be applied with caution when modelling glacier changes under a warming climate or over long periods of time.

In this approach, protonated titanate nanotubes with layered structures were first prepared by a hydrothermal approach, and rare earth metal ions were subsequently bound to the negatively charged surface of the synthesized titanate via electrostatic incorporation. The as-synthesized RE-TiO2 NRs after calcination generally showed much higher photocatalytic efficiencies than those of undoped TiO2 NRs or the commercial P25 TiO2 photocatalyst. Using methyl orange (MO) as a probing molecule, we demonstrate that Eu-TiO2 NRs are among the best for degrading MO, with an observed rate constant of 4.2 x 10(-3) s(-1). The La3+, Sm3+, Eu3+ and Er3+ doped TiO2 NRs also showed higher photocatalytic efficiencies in degrading MO than the commercial P25 TiO2. We further demonstrate that lignin can be photodegraded effectively and rapidly at room temperature under simulated sunlight through two reaction routes, which could be important in controlling ways of lignin depolymerization or the formation of reaction products.

Using mesoporous silica (mSiO(2)) as the inorganic capping agent and encapsulated Pt nanoparticles as the seeds, we developed a robust seeded growth method to prepare uniform bimetallic nanoparticles encapsulated in mesoporous silica shells (PtM@mSiO(2), M = Pd, Rh, Ni and Cu). Unexpectedly, we found that the inorganic silica shell is able to accommodate an eight-fold volume increase in the metallic core by reducing its thickness. The bimetallic nanoparticles encapsulated in mesoporous silica shells showed enhanced catalytic properties and thermal stabilities compared with those prepared with organic capping agents. This inorganic capping strategy could find a broad application in the synthesis of versatile bimetallic nanostructures with exceptional structural control and enhanced catalytic properties.

The ability to control these parameters in situ provides a means to create ion transport systems tunable in real time. Here, we present a new strategy to address this challenge, utilizing three unique electrochemically switchable chemistries to manipulate the terminal functional group and control the resulting surface charge throughout ensembles of gold plated nanopores in ion-tracked polycarbonate membranes 3 cm(2) in area. We demonstrate the diazonium mediated surface functionalization with (1) nitrophenyl chemistry, (2) quinone chemistry, and (3) previously unreported trimethyl lock chemistry. Unlike other works, these chemistries are chemically stabilized, eliminating the need for a continuously applied gate voltage to maintain a given state and retain ionic selectivity. The effect of surface functionalization and nanopore geometry on selective ion transport through these functionalized membranes is characterized in aqueous solutions of sodium chloride at pH = 5.7. The nitrophenyl surface allows for ionic selectivity to be irreversibly switched in situ from cation-selective to anion-selective upon reduction to an aminophenyl surface. The quinone-terminated surface enables reversible changes between no ionic selectivity and a slight cationic selectivity. Alternatively, the trimethyl lock allows ionic selectivity to be reversibly switched by up to a factor of 8, approaching ideal selectivity, as a carboxylic acid group is electrochemically revealed or hidden. By varying the pore shape from cylindrical to conical, it is demonstrated that a controllable directionality can be imparted to the ionic selectivity. Combining control of nanopore geometry with stable, switchable chemistries facilitates superior control of molecular transport across the membrane, enabling tunable ion transport systems.

A local-dipole analysis method developed for this work has made possible the studies of the optical response of individual Chl molecules subjected to the influence of the remainder of the chromophore network. The spectra calculated using our real-space TDDFT method agree with previous suggestions that weak interaction with the protein microenvironment should produce only minor changes in the absorption spectrum of Chl chromophores in LHC-II. In addition, relative shifting of Chl absorption energies leads the stromal and lumenal sides of LHC-II to absorb in slightly different parts of the visible spectrum providing greater coverage of the available light frequencies. The site-specific alterations in Chl excitation energies support the existence of intrinsic energy transfer pathways within the LHC-II complex.

TI When ruthenia met titania: achieving extraordinary catalytic activity at low temperature by nanostructuring of oxides SO PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY CHEMICAL PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID NANOMETER LEVEL; OXIDATION; SURFACES; NANOPARTICLES; PLATINUM; ENERGY; PRESSURES; METHANOL; COPPER; STATE AB Nanostructured RuOx/TiO2(110) catalysts have a remarkable catalytic activity for CO oxidation at temperatures in the range of 350-375 K. On the other hand, the RuO2(110) surface has no activity. The state-of-the-art DFT calculations indicate that the main reasons for such an impressive improvement in the catalytic activity are: (i) a decrease of the diffusion barrier of adsorbed O atoms by around 40%, from 1.07 eV in RuO2(110) to 0.66 eV in RuOx/TiO2(110), which explains the shift of the activity to lower temperatures and (ii) a lowering of the barrier by 20% for the association of adsorbed CO and O species to give CO2 (the main barrier for the CO oxidation reaction) passing from around 0.7 eV in RuO2(110) to 0.55 eV in RuOx/TiO2(110). We show that the catalytic properties of ruthenia are strongly modified when supported as nanostructures on titania, attaining higher activity at temperatures 100 K lower than that needed for pure ruthenia. As in other systems consisting of ceria nanostructures supported on titania, nanostructured ruthenia shows strongly modified properties compared to the pure oxide, consolidating the fact that the nanostructuring of oxides is a main way to attain higher catalytic activity at lower temperatures.

Strong spectral differences in the XAS scans as well as in the RIXS spectra between gas phase and aqueous NH3 are attributed to orbital mixing with the water orbitals, dipole-dipole interactions, differences in vibronic coupling, and nuclear dynamics on the time-scale of the RIXS process. All of these effects are consequences of hydrogen bonding and the impact of the associated orbitals, demonstrating the power of XAS and RIXS as unique tools to study hydrogen bonding in liquids.

Its mechanical properties (e.g. strength, elasticity, ultimate strain) depend on the loading rate. For example, tensile strength increases with the loading rate. For intermediate loading rates the strength enhancement is related to the viscosity of free water within micro-/nano-pores in concrete, the so-called Stefan effect, whereas the strengthening effect at higher loading rates is dominated by micro-/meso-inertia of the material within the fracture process zone (FPZ). These rate dependent mechanisms should be included in the formulation for physically realistic modeling of concrete materials. In this study rheological material models are used to represent rate effects, where viscous components (e.g. dashpots) are connected to local spring elements within Rigid-Body-Spring Networks. Three types of constitutive relationships are considered: 1) visco-elastic, 2) visco-plastic, and 3) visco-elasto-plastic damage models. Direct tensile tests are simulated and characteristics of the three different rheological models are compared through their stress-strain responses.

We describe a large optical discrete graph state capable of searching logical 4 and 8 element lists as an example. To do so we have developed several prescriptions based on analytic evaluation of the evolution of discrete cluster states and graph state equations. We describe the cluster state as a sequence of repeated entanglement and measurement steps using a small number of single photons for each step. These prescriptions can be generalized to implement any logical circuit model operation with appropriate single-photon measurements and feed forward error corrections. Such a cluster state is not guaranteed to be optimal (i.e. minimum number of photons, measurements, run time). C1 [Smith, A. Matthew; Alsing, P. M.; Lott, G. E.; Fanto, M.

At the present state of compressor system designs for helium refrigeration systems, typically two-thirds of the lost input power is due to the compression system. It is important to understand the isothermal and volumetric efficiencies of these machines to help properly design the compression system to match the refrigeration process. It is also important to identify those primary compressor skid exergetic loss mechanisms which may be reduced, thereby offering the possibility of significantly reducing the input power to helium refrigeration processes which are extremely energy intensive. This paper summarizes the results collected during the commissioning of the new compressor system for Jefferson Lab's (JLab's) 12 GeV upgrade. The compressor skid packages were designed by JLab and built to print by industry. They incorporate a number of modifications not typical of helium screw compressor packages and most importantly allow a very wide range of operation so that JLab's patented Floating Pressure Process can be fully utilized. This paper also summarizes key features of the skid design that allow this process and facilitate the maintenance and reliability of these helium compressor systems.

From quasi-particle model (QPM) a gluonic sector is integrated into LSM. The hadron resonance gas (HRG) model is used in calculating the thermal and dense dependence of quark-antiquark condensate. We review these four models with respect to their descriptions for the chiral phase transition. We analyze the chiral order parameter, normalized net-strange condensate, and chiral phase-diagram and compare the results with recent lattice calculations. We find that PLSM chiral boundary is located in upper band of the lattice QCD calculations and agree well with the freeze-out results deduced from various high-energy experiments and thermal models. Also, we find that the chiral temperature calculated from HRG is larger than that from PLSM. This is also larger than the freeze-out temperatures calculated in lattice QCD and deduced from experiments and thermal models. The corresponding temperature and chemical potential are very similar to that of PLSM. Although the results from PNJL and QLSM keep the same behavior, their chiral temperature is higher than that of PLSM and HRG. This might be interpreted due the very heavy quark masses implemented in both models. C1 [Tawfik, Abdel Nasser] Modern Univ Technol & Informat MTI, ECTP, Cairo 11571, Egypt.

More generally, in k-hypergraph b-matching, instead of disjointness we require that every element appears in at most b sets of the subcollection. Our main result is a linear-programming based (k - 1 + 1/k)-approximation algorithm for k-hypergraph b-matching. This settles the integrality gap when k is one more than a prime power, since it matches a previously-known lower bound. When the hypergraph is bipartite, we are able to improve the approximation ratio to k - 1, which is also best possible relative to the natural LP. These results are obtained using a more careful application of the iterated packing method. Using the bipartite algorithmic integrality gap upper bound, we show that for the family of combinatorial auctions in which anyone can win at most t items, there is a truthful-in-expectation polynomial-time auction that t-approximately maximizes social welfare. We also show that our results directly imply new approximations for a generalization of the recently introduced bounded-color matching problem. We also consider the generalization of b-matching to demand matching, where edges have nonuniform demand values. The best known approximation algorithm for this problem has ratio 2k on k-hypergraphs. We give a new algorithm, based on local ratio, that obtains the same approximation ratio in a much simpler way. C1 [Parekh, Ojas] Sandia Natl Labs, Albuquerque, NM 87185 USA.

TI Constraining black carbon aerosol over Asia using OMI aerosol absorption optical depth and the adjoint of GEOS-Chem SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID OZONE MONITORING INSTRUMENT; FINE PARTICULATE MATTER; SKY RADIANCE MEASUREMENTS; LIGHT-ABSORPTION; SPATIAL-DISTRIBUTION; AIRBORNE PARTICLES; SIZE DISTRIBUTION; ELEMENTAL CARBON; HIGH-RESOLUTION; SATELLITE DATA AB Accurate estimates of the emissions and distribution of black carbon (BC) in the region referred to here as Southeastern Asia (70-150A degrees E, 11A degrees S-55A degrees N) are critical to studies of the atmospheric environment and climate change. Analysis of modeled BC concentrations compared to in situ observations indicates levels are underestimated over most of Southeast Asia when using any of four different emission inventories. We thus attempt to reduce uncertainties in BC emissions and improve BC model simulations by developing top-down, spatially resolved, estimates of BC emissions through assimilation of OMI (Ozone Monitoring Instrument) observations of aerosol absorption optical depth (AAOD) with the GEOS-Chem (Goddard Earth Observing System - chemistry) model and its adjoint for April and October 2006. Overwhelming enhancements, up to 500 %, in anthropogenic BC emissions are shown after optimization over broad areas of Southeast Asia in April. In October, the optimization of anthropogenic emissions yields a slight reduction (1-5 %) over India and parts of southern China, while emissions increase by 10-50 % over eastern China. Observational data from in situ measurements and AERONET (Aerosol Robotic Network) observations are used to evaluate the BC inversions and assess the bias between OMI and AERONET AAOD. Low biases in BC concentrations are improved or corrected in most eastern and central sites over China after optimization, while the constrained model still underestimates concentrations in Indian sites in both April and October, possibly as a consequence of low prior emissions. Model resolution errors may contribute up to a factor of 2.5 to the underestimation of surface BC concentrations over northern India. We also compare the optimized results using different anthropogenic emission inventories and discuss the sensitivity of top-down constraints on anthropogenic emissions with respect to biomass burning emissions. In addition, the impacts of brown carbon, the formulation of the observation operator, and different a priori constraints on the optimization are investigated. Overall, despite these limitations and uncertainties, using OMI AAOD to constrain BC sources improves model representation of BC distributions, particularly over China. C1 [Zhang, L.; Henze, D.

TI Comprehensive mapping and characteristic regimes of aerosol effects on the formation and evolution of pyro-convective clouds SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID MIXED-PHASE CLOUDS; CONDENSATION NUCLEI; TERMINAL VELOCITIES; PART II; PRECIPITATION; MICROPHYSICS; MODEL; SIMULATIONS; SMOKE; IMPACTS AB A recent parcel model study (Reutter et al., 2009) showed three deterministic regimes of initial cloud droplet formation, characterized by different ratios of aerosol concentrations (N-CN) to updraft velocities. This analysis, however, did not reveal how these regimes evolve during the subsequent cloud development. To address this issue, we employed the Active Tracer High Resolution Atmospheric Model (ATHAM) with full microphysics and extended the model simulation from the cloud base to the entire column of a single pyro-convective mixed-phase cloud. A series of 2-D simulations (over 1000) were performed over a wide range of N-CN and dynamic conditions. The integrated concentration of hydrometeors over the full spatial and temporal scales was used to evaluate the aerosol and dynamic effects. The results show the following. (1) The three regimes for cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) activation in the parcel model (namely aerosol-limited, updraft-limited, and transitional regimes) still exist within our simulations, but net production of raindrops and frozen particles occurs mostly within the updraft-limited regime. (2) Generally, elevated aerosols enhance the formation of cloud droplets and frozen particles. The response of raindrops and precipitation to aerosols is more complex and can be either positive or negative as a function of aerosol concentrations. The most negative effect was found for values of N-CN of similar to 1000 to 3000 cm(-3). (3) The nonlinear properties of aerosol-cloud interactions challenge the conclusions drawn from limited case studies in terms of their representativeness, and ensemble studies over a wide range of aerosol concentrations and other influencing factors are strongly recommended for a more robust assessment of the aerosol effects.

TI Emissions of nitrogen oxides from US urban areas: estimation from Ozone Monitoring Instrument retrievals for 2005-2014 SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID GOME-SATELLITE-OBSERVATIONS; OMI TROPOSPHERIC NO2; POWER-PLANT PLUMES; UNITED-STATES; AIR-QUALITY; SPACE; LIFETIMES; TRENDS; SO2; COLUMNS AB Satellite remote sensing of tropospheric nitrogen dioxide (NO2) can provide valuable information for estimating surface nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions. Using an exponentially modified Gaussian (EMG) method and taking into account the effect of wind on observed NO2 distributions, we estimate 3-year moving-average emissions of summertime NOx from 35 US (United States) urban areas directly from NO2 retrievals of the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) during 2005-2014. Following conclusions of previous studies that the EMG method provides robust and accurate emission estimates under strong-wind conditions, we derive top-down NOx emissions from each urban area by applying the EMG method to OMI data with wind speeds greater than 3-5 m s(-1). Meanwhile, we find that OMI NO2 observations under weak-wind conditions (i.e., < 3 m s(-1)) are qualitatively better correlated to the surface NOx source strength in comparison to all-wind OMI maps; therefore, we use them to calculate the satellite-observed NO2 burdens of urban areas and compare with NOx emission estimates. The EMG results show that OMI-derived NOx emissions are highly correlated (R > 0.93) with weak-wind OMI NO2 burdens as well as with bottom-up NOx emission estimates over 35 urban areas, implying a linear response of the OMI observations to surface emissions under weak-wind conditions. The simultaneous EMG-obtained effective NO2 lifetimes (similar to 3.5 +/- 1.3 h), however, are biased low in comparison to the summertime NO2 chemical lifetimes. In general, isolated urban areas with NOx emission intensities greater than similar to 2 Mg h(-1) produce statistically significant weak-wind signals in 3-year average OMI data. From 2005 to 2014, we estimate that total OMI-derived NOx emissions over all selected US urban areas decreased by 49 %, consistent with reductions of 43, 47, 49, and 44 % in the total bottom-up NOx emissions, the sum of weak-wind OMI NO2 columns, the total weak-wind OMI NO2 burdens, and the averaged NO2 concentrations, respectively, reflecting the success of NOx control programs for both mobile sources and power plants. The decrease rates of these NOx-related quantities are found to be faster (i.e., -6.8 to -9.3 % yr(-1)) before 2010 and slower (i.e., -3.4 to -4.9 % yr(-1)) after 2010. For individual urban areas, we calculate the R values of pair-wise trends among the OMI-derived and bottom-up NOx emissions, the weak-wind OMI NO2 burdens, and ground-based NO2 measurements, and high correlations are found for all urban areas (median R= 0.8), particularly large ones (R up to 0.97). The results of the current work indicate that using the EMG method and considering the wind effect, the OMI data allow for the estimation of NOx emissions from urban areas and the direct constraint of emission trends with reasonable accuracy.

Models are evaluated against hourly surface ozone from 4217 stations in North America and Europe that are averaged over 1A degrees x 1A degrees grid cells, allowing commensurate model-measurement comparison. Models are generally biased high during all hours of the day and in all regions. Most models simulate the shape of regional summertime diurnal and annual cycles well, correctly matching the timing of hourly (similar to 15:00 local time (LT)) and monthly (mid-June) peak surface ozone abundance. The amplitude of these cycles is less successfully matched. The observed summertime diurnal range (similar to 25 ppb) is underestimated in all regions by about 7 ppb, and the observed seasonal range (similar to 21 ppb) is underestimated by about 5 ppb except in the most polluted regions, where it is overestimated by about 5 ppb. The models generally match the pattern of the observed summertime ozone enhancement, but they overestimate its magnitude in most regions. Most models capture the observed distribution of extreme episode sizes, correctly showing that about 80 % of individual extreme events occur in large-scale, multi-day episodes of more than 100 grid cells. The models also match the observed linear relationship between episode size and a measure of episode intensity, which shows increases in ozone abundance by up to 6 ppb for larger-sized episodes. We conclude that the skill of the models evaluated here provides confidence in their projections of future surface ozone. C1 [Schnell, J. L.; Prather, M.

TI Influence of crustal dust and sea spray supermicron particle concentrations and acidity on inorganic NO3- aerosol during the 2013 Southern Oxidant and Aerosol Study SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID SOUTHEASTERN UNITED-STATES; COARSE PARTICULATE MATTER; SOLUBLE ORGANIC-ACIDS; NITRIC-ACID; SIZE DISTRIBUTIONS; MINERAL DUST; ATMOSPHERIC PARTICLES; NITRATE FORMATION; DRY DEPOSITION; AMAZON BASIN AB Inorganic aerosol composition was measured in the southeastern United States, a region that exhibits high aerosol mass loading during the summer, as part of the 2013 Southern Oxidant and Aerosol Study (SOAS) campaign. Measurements using a Monitor for AeRosols and GAses (MARGA) revealed two periods of high aerosol nitrate (NO3-) concentrations during the campaign. These periods of high nitrate were correlated with increased concentrations of supermicron crustal and sea spray aerosol species, particularly Na+ and Ca2+, and with a shift towards aerosol with larger (1 to 2.5 mu m) diameters. We suggest this nitrate aerosol forms by multiphase reactions of HNO3 and particles, reactions that are facilitated by transport of crustal dust and sea spray aerosol from a source within the United States. The observed high aerosol acidity prevents the formation of NH4NO3, the inorganic nitrogen species often dominant in fine-mode aerosol at higher pH. Calculation of the rate of the heterogeneous uptake of HNO3 on mineral aerosol supports the conclusion that aerosol NO3- is produced primarily by this process, and is likely limited by the availability of mineral cation-containing aerosol surface area. Modeling of NO3- and HNO3 by thermodynamic equilibrium models (ISORROPIA II and E-AIM) reveals the importance of including mineral cations in the southeastern United States to accurately balance ion species and predict gas-aerosol phase partitioning.

Dramatically improved fuel efficiency can be achieved at air-to-fuel ratios much higher than stoichiometric. In the presence of oxygen in large excess, however, traditional three-way catalysts are unable to reduce NOx. Among the number of lean-NOx reduction technologies, selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx by NH3 over Cu-and Fe-ion exchanged zeolite catalysts has been extensively studied over the past 30+ years. Despite the significant advances in developing a viable practical zeolite-based catalyst for lean NOx reduction, the insufficient hydrothermal stabilities of the zeolite structures considered cast doubts about their real-world applicability. During the past decade renewed interest in zeolite-based lean NOx reduction was spurred by the discovery of the very high activity of Cu-SSZ-13 (and the isostructural Cu-SAPO-34) in the NH3-SCR of NOx. These new, small-pore zeolite-based catalysts not only exhibited very high NOx conversion and N-2 selectivity, but also exhibited exceptionally high hydrothermal stability at high temperatures. In this review we summarize the key discoveries of the past similar to 5 years that led to the introduction of these catalysts into practical applications. This review first briefly discusses the structure and preparation of the CHA structure-based zeolite catalysts, and then summarizes the key learnings of the rather extensive (but not complete) characterisation work. Then we summarize the key findings of reaction kinetic studies, and provide some mechanistic details emerging from these investigations. At the end of the review we highlight some of the issues that still need to be addressed in automotive exhaust control catalysis. C1 [Beale, A.

In this work, a series of actinide dimetallocenes An(2)Cp(2)* (Cp* = C-5(CH3)(5), An = Th-Pu) with An-An multiple bonds have been systematically investigated using quantum chemical calculations. The coaxial Cp*-An-An-Cp* structures are found to be the most stable species for all the dimetallocenes. A Th-Th triple bond is predicted in the Th2Cp2* complex, and the calculated An-An bond orders decrease across the actinide series from Pa to Pu. The covalent character of the An-An bonds is analyzed by using natural bond orbitals (NBO), molecular orbitals (MO), the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM), and electron density difference (EDD). While Th 6d orbitals dominate the Th-Th bonds in Th2Cp2*, the An 6d-orbital characters decrease and 5f-orbital characters increase for complexes from Pa2Cp2* to Pu2Cp2*. All these actinide dimetallocenes are stable in the gas phase relative to the AnCp* reference at room temperature. Based on the reactions of AnCp(2)* and An, Th2Cp2*, Pa2Cp2* and possibly also U2Cp2* should be accessible as isolated molecules under suitable synthetic conditions. Our results shed light on the molecular design of ligands for stabilizing actinide-actinide multiple bonds.

Reported solar-to-hydrogen (STH) conversion efficiencies range from <1% to 18%. The demonstrations are categorized by the number of photovoltaic junctions employed (2 or 3), photovoltaic junction type (solid-solid or solid-liquid) and the ability of the systems to produce separated reaction product streams. Demonstrations employing two photovoltaic (PV) junctions have the highest reported efficiencies of 12.4% and 18%, which are for cells that, respectively, do and do not contain a semiconductor-liquid junction. These devices used PV components based on III-V semiconductors; recently, a number of demonstrations with >10% STH efficiency using potentially less costly materials have been reported. Device stability is a major challenge for the field, as evidenced by lifetimes of less than 24 hours in all but a few reports. No globally accepted protocol for evaluating and certifying STH efficiencies and lifetimes exists. It is our recommendation that a protocol similar to that used by the photovoltaic community be adopted so that future demonstrations of solar PEC water splitting can be compared on equal grounds.

To achieve overall water splitting and the associated production of solar fuels, complex devices are needed to efficiently capture light from the sun, separate photogenerated charges, and catalyze reduction and oxidation reactions. To date, the highest performing solar fuels devices rely on multi-component systems, which introduce interfaces that can be associated with further performance loss due to thermodynamic and kinetic considerations. In this review, we identify several of the most important interfaces used in PEC water splitting, summarize methods to characterize them, and highlight approaches to mitigating associated loss mechanisms.

A key challenge is the heterogeneous nature of real-world materials, which often possess spatial variation in their crystal structure, morphology, and/or composition at the nano-, micro-, or macro-scale. Different structures and compositions can have vastly different properties and can therefore strongly influence the overall performance of the photoelectrode through complex structure-property relationships. A complete understanding of photoelectrode materials would also involve elucidation of processes such as carrier collection and electrochemical charge transfer that occur at very fast time scales. We present herein an overview of a broad suite of experimental and computational tools that can be used to define the structure-property relationships of photoelectrode materials at small dimensions and on fast time scales. A major focus is on in situ scanning-probe measurement (SPM) techniques that possess the ability to measure differences in optical, electronic, catalytic, and physical properties with nano- or micro-scale spatial resolution. In situ ultrafast spectroscopic techniques, used to probe carrier dynamics involved with processes such as carrier generation, recombination, and interfacial charge transport, are also discussed. Complementing all of these experimental techniques are computational atomistic modeling tools, which can be invaluable for interpreting experimental results, aiding in materials discovery, and interrogating PEC processes at length and time scales not currently accessible by experiment. In addition to reviewing the basic capabilities of these experimental and computational techniques, we highlight key opportunities and limitations of applying these tools for the development of PEC materials.

Since the new injector came on line there have been variations in the H-beam current flattop observed near the downstream end of the Linac. Several different cathode geometries including a hollow cathode suggested by Dudnikov [1] were tried. Previous studies also showed that different mixtures of hydrogen and nitrogen had an effect on beam current noise [2]. We expanded on those studies by trying mixtures ranging from (0.25% nitrogen, 99.75% hydrogen) to (3% nitrogen, 97% hydrogen). The results of these studies in our test stand will be presented in this paper. C1 [Bollinger, D. S.; Karns, P. R.; Tan, C.

While electrostatic focusing can be problematic for high current beam transport, reliable electrostatic LEBT operation has been demonstrated with H- beams up to 60 mA. Now, however, it is commonly accepted that an optimal LEBT for high current accelerator applications consists of focusing solenoids with space charge compensation. Two-solenoid LEBTs are successfully used for high current (> 100 mA) proton beam transport requires the addition of a heavy gas (Xe, Kr), which causes similar to 5% of proton loss in a 1 m long LEBT. Similar Xe densities would be required to preserve low emittances of H-beams, but such gas densities cause unacceptably high H-beam losses. A short LEBT with only one short solenoid, movable for RFQ matching, can be used for reduced negative ion stripping. A strong electrostatic-focusing LEBT has been successfully adopted for transport of high current H-beams in the SNS Front End. Some modifications of such electrostatic LEBTs are expected to improve the reliable transport of intense positive and negative ion beams without greatly degrading their low emittances. We concentrate on processes that determine the beam brightness degradation and on their prevention. Proposed improvements to the SNS electrostatic LEBT are discussed.

The Saddle Antenna (SA) SPS described here was developed to improve H- ion production efficiency and SPS reliability and availability. At low RF power, the efficiency of positive ion generation in the plasma has been improved to 200 mA/cm2 per kW of RF power at 13.56 MHz. Initial cesiation of the SPS was performed by heating cesium chromate cartridges by discharge as was done in the very first versions of the SPS. A small oven to decompose cesium compounds and alloys was developed and tested. After cesiation, the current of negative ions to the collector was increased from 1 mA to 10 mA with RF power similar to 1.5 kW in the plasma (6 mm diameter emission aperture) and up to 30 mA with similar to 4 kW RF power in the plasma and 250 Gauss longitudinal magnetic field. The ratio of electron current to negative ion current was improved from 30 to 2. Stable generation of H- beam without intensity degradation was demonstrated in the AlN discharge chamber for a long time at high discharge power in an RF SPS with an external antenna. Continuous wave (CW) operation of the SA SPS has been tested on the small test stand. The general design of the CW SA SPS is based on the pulsed version. Some modifications were made to improve the cooling and cesiation stability. The extracted collector current can be increased significantly by optimizing the longitudinal magnetic field in the discharge chamber. CW operation with negative ion extraction was tested with RF power up to 1.8 kW from the generator (similar to 1.2 kW in the plasma) with production up to Ic=7 mA. Long term operation was tested with 1.2 kW from the RF generator (similar to 0.8 kW in the plasma) with production of Ic=5 mA, Iex similar to 15 mA (Uex=8 kV, Uc=14 kV). C1 [Dudnikov, V.; Johnson, R.

Polarized He-3 ions are an essential part of the nuclear physics programs at existing and future ion-ion and electron-ion colliders such as BNL's RHIC and eRHIC and JLab's ELIC. Ion sources with performance exceeding that achieved today are a key requirement for the development of these next generation high-luminosity high-polarization colliders. The development of high-intensity high-brightness arc-discharge ion sources at the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics (BINP) has opened up an opportunity for realization of a new type of a polarized He-3(-) ion source. This report discusses a polarized He-3(-) ion source based on the large difference of extra-electron autodetachment lifetimes of the different He-3(-) ion hyperfine states. The highest momentum state of 5/2 has the largest lifetime of tau similar to 350 mu s He-3(-) ion beam composed of only the vertical bar 5/2, +/- 5/2> hyperfine states and then quenching one of the states by an RF resonant field, He-3(-) beam polarization of 90% can be achieved. Such a method of polarized He-3(-) production has been considered before; however, due to low intensities of the He+ ion sources existing at that time, it was not possible to produce any interesting intensity of polarized He-3(-) ions. The high-brightness arc-discharge ion source developed at BINP can produce a high-brightness He-3(+) beam with an intensity of up to 2 A allowing for selection of up to similar to 1-4 mA of He-3(-) ions with similar to 90% polarization. The high gas efficiency of an arc-discharge source is important due to the high cost of He-3(-) gas. Some features of such a PIS as well as prototype designs are considered. An integrated He-3(-) ion source design providing high beam polarization could be prepared using existing BNL equipment with incorporation of new designs of the 1) arc discharge plasma generator, 2) extraction system, 3) charge exchange jet, and 4) magnetic separation system.

By using this prototype system for the JT-60SA ion source, 15 A negative ions has been sustained for 100 s for the first time, which is three times longer than that obtained in JT-60U. In this system, a high-temperature fluorinated fluid with a high boiling point of 270 degree Celsius is circulated in the cooling channels of the plasma grids (PG) where a cesium (Cs) coverage is formed to enhance the negative ion production. Because the PG temperature control had been applied to only 10% of the extraction area previously, the prototype PG with the full extraction area (110 cm x 45 cm) was developed to increase the negative ion current in this time. In the preliminary results of long pulse productions of high-current negative ions at a Cs conditioning phase, the negative ion production was gradually degraded in the last half of 100 s pulse where the temperature of an arc chamber wall was not saturated. From the spectroscopic measurements, it was found that the Cs flux released from the wall might affect to the negative ion production, which implied the wall temperature should be kept low to control the Cs flux to the PG for the long-pulse high-current production. The obtained results of long-pulse production and the PG temperature control method contributes the design of the ITER ion source.

Plans are being considered to incorporate a second target station into the facility which will require similar to 2.8 MW of beam power. Presently, H- beam pulses (similar to 1 ms, 60 Hz) are produced by an RF-driven, Cs-enhanced, multi-cusp ion source which injects beam into an RFQ (Radio Frequency Quadrupole) accelerator that, in turn, feeds the SNS Linac. Currently the source/RFQ system delivers similar to 35 mA of pulsed current to the linac which is mostly sufficient for 1.4 MW operations while similar to 50 mA are needed for the second target station upgrade. This paper provides a look forward for the SNS by providing (i) the present and future SNS source/RFQ beam requirements and our plans to achieve these, (ii) a description and status of the external antenna ion source being developed for the replacement of the current internal antenna ion source, and (iii) a description and status of the newly constructed RFQ test facility.

The question of how well applications perform on such a machine naturally arises. We consider the performance of an algebraic multigrid solver on an XC30 and develop a performance model for its solve cycle. We use this model to both analyze its performance and guide data redistribution at runtime aimed at improving it by trading messages for increased computation. The performance modeling results demonstrate the ability of the dragonfly interconnect to avoid network contention, but speedups when using the redistribution scheme were enough to raise questions about the ability of the dragonfly topology to handle very communication-intensive applications.

Users often find it difficult to characterize and understand the performance advantage of such accelerators for their applications. The SPEC High Performance Group (HPG) has developed a set of performance metrics to evaluate the performance and power consumption of accelerators for various science applications. The new benchmark comprises two suites of applications written in OpenCL and OpenACC and measures the performance of accelerators with respect to a reference platform. The first set of published results demonstrate the viability and relevance of the new metrics in comparing accelerator performance. This paper discusses the benchmark suites and selected published results in great detail.

To achieve all the benefits of performance characterization, the characterization must incorporate a comprehensive set of characteristics that affect performance and can be measured with minimal perturbation from the underlying micro-architecture. To this end, we advocate the use of application-dependent characteristics that allow general conclusions to be drawn about the application itself rather than its observed performance on a specific architecture. In our prior work [7], we introduced a set of application-dependent characteristics and showed that they are consistent across architectures. In this work, we present an efficient characterization methodology that incorporates a more comprehensive set of application-dependent characteristics. We also explain in detail how these characteristics can be used to reason about and gain insight into application performance. Finally, we report characterization results on SPEC MPI2007 and Mantevo benchmarks. To our knowledge, this is the first work to present application-dependent characterization results for SPEC MPI2007 and some of the new Mantevo benchmarks.

This is a nontrivial problem given the unreliable nature of communication networks and other system components. As with many engineering problems, trade-offs must be made to account for the competing goals of fault detection efficiency and accuracy. Today's production HPC services typically rely on distributed consensus algorithms and heartbeat monitoring for group membership. In this work, we investigate epidemic protocols to determine whether they would be a viable alternative. Epidemic protocols have been proposed in previous work for use in peer-to-peer systems, but they have the potential to increase scalability and decrease fault response time for HPC systems as well. We focus our analysis on the Scalable Weakly-consistent Infection-style Process Group Membership (SWIM) protocol. We begin by exploring how the semantics of this protocol differ from those of typical HPC group membership protocols, and we discuss how storage systems might need to adapt as a result. We use existing analytical models to choose appropriate SWIM parameters for an HPC use case. We then develop a new, high-resolution parallel discrete event simulation of the protocol to confirm existing analytical models and explore protocol behavior that cannot be readily observed with analytical models. Our preliminary results indicate that the SWIM protocol is a promising alternative for group membership in HPC storage systems, offering rapid convergence, tolerance to transient network failures, and minimal network load.

Supercomputers grow larger offering improved computational science throughput. Nevertheless, with an increase in the number of systems' components and their interactions, the number of failures and the power consumption will increase rapidly. Energy and reliability are among the most challenging issues that need to be addressed for extreme scale computing. We develop analytical models for run time and energy usage for multilevel fault-tolerance schemes. We use these models to study the tradeoff between run time and energy in FTI, a recently developed multilevel checkpoint library, on an IBM Blue Gene/Q. Our results show that energy consumed by FTI is low and the tradeoff between the run time and energy is small. Using the analytical models, we explore the impact of various system-level parameters on run time and energy tradeoffs. C1 [Balaprakash, Prasanna; Gomez, Leonardo A.

HVAC systems typically operate on a pre-designed schedule that heats or cools rooms in the building to a set temperature even when rooms are not being used. Occupants, however, influence the thermal behavior of buildings. As a result, using occupancy information for scheduling meetings to occur at specific times and in specific rooms has significant energy savings potential. As shown in Lim et al. [15], combining HVAC control with meeting scheduling can lead to substantial improvements in energy efficiency. We extend this work and develop an approach that scales to larger problems by combining mixed integer programming (MIP) with large neighborhood search (LNS). LNS is used to destroy part of the schedule and MIP is used to repair the schedule so as to minimize energy consumption. This approach is far more effective than solving the complete problem as a MIP problem. Our results show that solutions from the LNS-based approach are up to 36% better than the MIP-based approach when both given 15 minutes.

Although different classifiers have been developed for PPI prediction, no single classifier seems to be able to predict PPI with high confidence. We postulated that by combining individual classifiers the accuracy of PPI prediction could be improved. We developed a method called protein-protein interaction prediction classifiers merger (PPCM), and this method combines output from two PPI prediction tools, GO2PPI and Phyloprof, using Random Forests algorithm. The performance of PPCM was tested by area under the curve (AUC) using an assembled Gold Standard database that contains both positive and negative PPI pairs. Our AUC test showed that PPCM significantly improved the PPI prediction accuracy over the corresponding individual classifiers. We found that additional classifiers incorporated into PPCM could lead to further improvement in the PPI prediction accuracy. Furthermore, cross species PPCM could achieve competitive and even better prediction accuracy compared to the single species PPCM. This study established a robust pipeline for PPI prediction by integrating multiple classifiers using Random Forests algorithm. This pipeline will be useful for predicting PPI in nonmodel species.

TI Development of a novel neutron detection technique by using a boron layer coating a Charge Coupled Device SO JOURNAL OF INSTRUMENTATION LA English DT Article DE Neutron detectors (cold, thermal, fast neutrons); Instrumentation for neutron sources; Inspection with neutrons; Beam-line instrumentation (beam position and profile monitors; beam-intensity monitors; bunch length monitors) ID HIGHLY-ENRICHED URANIUM; MICROCHANNEL PLATES; SPATIAL-RESOLUTION; COLD NEUTRON; EFFICIENCY; CCDS; SILICON; INTERROGATION; RADIOGRAPHY; EXISTENCE AB This article describes the design features and the first test measurements obtained during the installation of a novel high resolution 2D neutron detection technique. The technique proposed in this work consists of a boron layer (enriched in B-10) placed on a scientific Charge Coupled Device (CCD). After the nuclear reaction B-10 (n, alpha)Li-7, the CCD detects the emitted charge particles thus obtaining information on the neutron absorption position. The above-mentioned ionizing particles, with energies in the range 0.5-5.5MeV, produce a plasma effect in the CCD which is recorded as a circular spot. This characteristic circular shape, as well as the relationship observed between the spot diameter and the charge collected, is used for the event recognition, allowing the discrimination of undesirable gamma events. We present the first results recently obtained with this technique, which has the potential to perform neutron tomography investigations with a spatial resolution better than that previously achieved. Numerical simulations indicate that the spatial resolution of this technique will be about 15 mu m, and the intrinsic detection efficiency for thermal neutrons will be about 3%. We compare the proposed technique with other neutron detection techniques and analyze its advantages and disadvantages. C1 [Blostein, J. J.; Tartaglione, A.; Haro, M.

The method takes advantage of commercial components and ready-to-use software such as iMPACT and does not require any hardware or software development. The method combines the advantages of the slow remote JTAG configuration and the fast local flash memory configuration. The method has been verified successfully and used in the Demonstrator of Liquid-Argon Trigger Digitization Board (LTDB) for the ATLAS liquid argon calorimeter Phase-I trigger upgrade. All components on the FPGA side are verified to meet the radiation tolerance requirements. C1 [Deng, B.] Hubei Polytech Univ, Sch Elect & Elect Informat Engn, Huangshi 435003, Hubei, Peoples R China.

We parameterize the model. using only measurable quantities from a broad set of colloidal suspensions with properties that span the experimentally relevant regime. With sufficient sampling, simulated diffusivities and electrophoretic velocities match predictions of the ubiquitous Stokes-Einstein and Henry equations, respectively.

Brochu, Mathieu TI Interfacial Development of Electrophoretically Deposited Graphene Oxide Films on Al Alloys SO JOURNAL OF THE ELECTROCHEMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID ALUMINUM-ALLOY; FABRICATION; COMPOSITES; NANOSHEETS; ACIDS AB Sustained adhesion between a film and its substrate is critical for electronic device and coating applications. Interfacial development between electrophoretically deposited graphene oxide films on Al 1100 and Al 5052 alloys were investigated using FT-IR and XPS depth profiling techniques. The results suggest metal ion permeation from the substrates into deposited graphene oxide films. The interface between the films and the substrates were primarily composed of Al-O-C bonds from oxygen-containing defects on graphene oxide plane rather than the expected formation of Al-C bonds. Films were heat treated at 150 degrees C and underwent a partial removal of oxygen-bearing groups. Peak shifts in Al 2p XPS spectra and change in Al ion distribution through out the film suggested change in chemical bond between Al and O upon heat and indicated that Al-O bond is the major influence in forming adhesive bond between the graphene oxide films and the Al alloy substrates.

Here, we demonstrate that locally ordered arrays of nanoparticles, using electrophoretic deposition, can be extended to produce long-range order among the constituents. Voronoi tessellations along with multiple statistical analyses show dramatic increases in order compared with previously reported assemblies formed through electric field-assisted assembly. Based on subsequent physical measurements of the nanoparticles and the deposition system, the underlying mechanisms that generate increased order are inferred. (C) The Author(s) 2015.

However, the increased complexity of the accelerator architectures demands more generic, high-level programming models. OpenACC is one such attempt to tackle the problem. While the abstraction endowed by OpenACC offers productivity, it raises questions on its portability. This paper evaluates the performance portability obtained by OpenACC on twelve OpenACC programs on NVIDIA CUDA, AMD GCN, and Intel MIC architectures. We study the effects of various compiler optimizations and OpenACC program settings on these architectures to provide insights into the achieved performance portability.

However, little is known regarding the microstructure and the forces between silicate platelets. The size of montmorillonite platelets from different natural sources can vary significantly. This has an influence on their swelling behavior in water as well as in salt solutions, particularly when tactoid formation occurs, that is when divalent counterions are present in the system. A tactoid consists of a limited number of platelets aggregated in a parallel arrangement with a constant separation. The tactoid size increases with platelet size and with very small nanoplatelets, similar to 30 nm, no tactoids are observed irrespectively of the platelet origin and concentration of divalent ions. The formation and dissociation of tactoids seem to be reversible processes. A large proportion of small nanoplatelets in a mixed-size system affects the tactoid formation, reduces the aggregation number and increases the extra-lamellar swelling in the system.

My remarks will be somewhat personal and are intended to provide a perspective on the history of this field, but I hope to connect it to what has become a new and very active area of research; this class of compounds is now associated with what are essentially quantum confined multiconfigurational molecules.

This problem generalizes the well-studied bound-constrained quadratic programming (QP) problem. We propose a new two-phase method: in the first phase a projected-gradient method is used to quickly identify the active set of cones, and in the second-phase Newton's method is applied to rapidly converge given the subsystem of active cones. Computational experiments confirm that the conically constrained QP is solved more efficiently by our method than by a specialized conic optimization solver and more robustly than by general nonlinear programming solvers.

Accounting for such fluctuations is challenging even with supplier coordination and smart-grid structure implementation. Short-term solar irradiance forecasting is one of the crucial components for maintaining a constant and reliable power output. We propose a novel stochastic solar prediction framework using Conditional Random Fields. The proposed model utilizes features extracted from both cloud images taken by Total Sky Imagers and historical statistics to synergistically reduce the prediction error by 25-40% in terms of MAE in 1-5 minute forecast experiments over the baseline methods.

TI Ion manipulations in structures for lossless ion manipulations (SLIM): computational evaluation of a 90 degrees turn and a switch SO ANALYST LA English DT Article ID CYCLOTRON MOBILITY SPECTROMETRY; FLIGHT MASS-SPECTROMETRY; FUNNEL TRAP; SENSITIVITY; RESOLUTION; INTERFACE; DYNAMICS AB The process of redirecting ions through 90 degrees turns and 'tee' switches utilizing Structures for Lossless Ion Manipulations (SLIM) was evaluated at 4 Torr pressure using SIMION simulations and theoretical methods. The nature of pseudo-potential in SLIM-tee structures has also been explored. Simulations show that 100% transmission efficiency in SLIM devices can be achieved with guard electrode voltages lower than similar to 10 V. The ion plume width in these conditions is similar to 1.6 mm while at lower guard voltages lead to greater plume widths. Theoretical calculations show marginal loss of ion mobility resolving power (<5%) during ion turn due to the finite plume widths (i.e. race track effect). More robust SLIM designs that reduce the race track effect while maximizing ion transmission are also reported. In addition to static turns, the dynamic switching of ions into orthogonal channels was also evaluated both using SIMION ion trajectory simulations and experimentally. Simulations and theoretical calculations were in close agreement with experimental results and were used to develop more refined SLIM designs. C1 [Garimella, Sandilya V. B.; Ibrahim, Yehia.

TI Enhancing biological analyses with three dimensional field asymmetric ion mobility, low field drift tube ion mobility and mass spectrometry (mu FAIMS/IMS-MS) separations SO ANALYST LA English DT Article ID GAS; HELIUM; CONFORMERS; PROTEOMICS; PEPTIDES AB Multidimensional high throughput separations are ideal for analyzing distinct ion characteristics simultaneously in one analysis. We report on the first evaluation of a platform coupling a high speed field asymmetric ion mobility spectrometry microchip (mu FAIMS) with drift tube ion mobility and mass spectrometry (IMS-MS). The mu FAIMS/IMS-MS platform was used to analyze biological samples and simultaneously acquire multidimensional FAIMS compensation fields, IMS drift times, and accurate ion masses for the detected features. These separations thereby increased the overall measurement separation power, resulting in greater information content and more complete characterization of the complex samples. The separation conditions were optimized for sensitivity and resolving power by the selection of gas compositions and pressures in the FAIMS and IMS separation stages. The resulting performance provided three dimensional separations, benefitting both broad complex mixture studies and targeted analyses by improving isomeric separations and allowing detection of species obscured by interfering peaks.

This approach combines a Runge-Kutta time discretization with a fourth-order-accurate spatial discretization and includes adaptive mesh refinement and refinement in time. Results of tests show fourth-order convergence for the shallow-water equations as well as for advection in a highly deformational flow. Hierarchical adaptive mesh refinement allows solution error to be achieved that is comparable to that obtained with uniform resolution of the most refined level of the hierarchy but with many fewer operations.

Donev, Aleksandar TI LOW MACH NUMBER FLUCTUATING HYDRODYNAMICS OF BINARY LIQUID MIXTURES SO COMMUNICATIONS IN APPLIED MATHEMATICS AND COMPUTATIONAL SCIENCE LA English DT Article DE fluctuating hydrodynamics; binary mixtures; giant fluctuations; Stokes solver; low Mach flow AB Continuing on our previous work (A. Donev, A. Nonaka, Y. Sun, T. G. Fai, A. L. Garcia and J. B. Bell, Comm. App. Math. and Comp. Sci. 9 (2014), no. 1, 47-105), wewe develop semi-implicit numerical methods for solving low Mach number fluctuating hydrodynamic equations appropriate for modeling diffusive mixing in isothermal mixtures of fluids with different densities and transport coefficients. We treat viscous dissipation implicitly using a recently developed variable-coefficient Stokes solver (M. Cai, A. J. Nonaka, J. B. Bell, B. E. Griffith and A. Donev, Commun. Comput. Phys. 16 (2014), no. 5, 1263-1297). This allows us to increase the time step size significantly for low Reynolds number flows with large Schmidt numbers compared to our earlier explicit temporal integrator. Also, unlike most existing deterministic methods for low Mach number equations, our methods do not use a fractional time-step approach in the spirit of projection methods, thus avoiding splitting errors and giving full second-order deterministic accuracy even in the presence of boundaries for a broad range of Reynolds numbers including steady Stokes flow. We incorporate the Stokes solver into two time-advancement schemes, where the first is suitable for inertial flows and the second is suitable for the overdamped limit (viscous-dominated flows), in which inertia vanishes and the fluid motion can be described by a steady Stokes equation. We also describe how to incorporate advanced higher-order Godunov advection schemes in the numerical method, allowing for the treatment of (very) large Peclet number flows with a vanishing mass diffusion coefficient. We incorporate thermal fluctuations in the description in both the inertial and overdamped regimes. We validate our algorithm with a series of stochastic and deterministic tests. Finally, we apply our algorithms to model the development of giant concentration fluctuations during the diffusive mixing of water and glycerol, and compare numerical results with experimental measurements. We find good agreement between the two, and observe propagative (nondiffusive) modes at small wavenumbers (large spatial scales), not reported in published experimental measurements of concentration fluctuations in fluid mixtures. Our work forms the foundation for developing low Mach number fluctuating hydrodynamics methods for miscible multispecies mixtures of chemically reacting fluids.

TI PARAMETER ESTIMATION BY IMPLICIT SAMPLING SO COMMUNICATIONS IN APPLIED MATHEMATICS AND COMPUTATIONAL SCIENCE LA English DT Article DE importance sampling; implicit sampling; Markov chain Monte Carlo ID STOCHASTIC NEWTON MCMC; DATA ASSIMILATION; PARTICLE FILTERS; INVERSE PROBLEMS; MODELS; NOISE AB Implicit sampling is a weighted sampling method that is used in data assimilation to sequentially update state estimates of a stochastic model based on noisy and incomplete data. Here we apply implicit sampling to sample the posterior probability density of parameter estimation problems. The posterior probability combines prior information about the parameter with information from a numerical model, e.g., a partial differential equation (PDE), and noisy data. The result of our computations are parameters that lead to simulations that are compatible with the data. We demonstrate the usefulness of our implicit sampling algorithm with an example from subsurface flow. For an efficient implementation, we make use of multiple grids, BFGS optimization coupled to adjoint equations, and Karhunen-Loeve expansions for dimensional reduction. Several difficulties of Markov chain Monte Carlo methods, e.g., estimation of burn-in times or correlations among the samples, are avoided because the implicit samples are independent.

They describe a limiting behavior of stochastic differential games as the number of players tends to infinity. Numerical methods for the approximation of such models have been developed by Achdou, Camilli, Capuzzo-Dolcetta, Gueant, and others. Efficient algorithms for such problems require special efforts and so far all methods introduced have been first order accurate. In this manuscript we design a second order accurate numerical method for time dependent Mean Field Games. The discretization is based on central schemes which are widely used in hyperbolic conservation laws. C1 [Popov, Bojan] Texas A&M Univ, Dept Math, College Stn, TX 77843 USA.

However, the majority of experimental systems to date are limited in applicability due to operating conditions and/or the use of engineered material micromodels. We have developed a high pressure and temperature microfluidic experimental system that allows for direct observations of flow and transport within geo-material micromodels (e.g. rock, cement) at reservoir conditions. In this manuscript, we describe the experimental system, including our novel micromodel fabrication method that works in both geo- and engineered materials and utilizes 3-D tomography images of real fractures as micromodel templates to better represent the pore space and fracture geometries expected in subsurface formations. We present experimental results that highlight the advantages of using real-rock micromodels and discuss potential areas of research that could benefit from geo-material microfluidic investigations. The experiments include fracture-matrix interaction in which water imbibes into the shale rock matrix from etched fractures, supercritical CO2 (scCO(2)) displacing brine in idealized and realistic fracture patterns, and three-phase flow involving scCO(2)-brine-oil.

In other work, supervised learning methods have been generalized from predicting labels to predicting structured, graph-like objects. A recent contribution to this second area showed how the Rand Index could be directly minimized when using Connected Components as a segmentation method. We build on this work and present an efficient mini-batch learning method for Connected Component segmentation and also show how it can be generalized to the Watershed Cuts segmentation method. We present initial results applying these new contributions to image segmentation problems in materials microscopy and discuss challenges and future directions.

TI ANALYSIS OF TRANSITION STATE THEORY RATES UPON SPATIAL COARSE-GRAINING SO MULTISCALE MODELING & SIMULATION LA English DT Article DE transition rates; spatial multiscale; molecular dynamics ID QUASI-CONTINUUM METHOD; FINITE-TEMPERATURE; DYNAMICS AB Spatial multiscale methods have established themselves as useful tools for extending the length scales accessible by conventional statics (i.e., zero temperature molecular dynamics). Recently, extensions of these methods, such as the finite-temperature quasicontinuum (hot-QC) or coarse-grained molecular dynamics (CGMD) methods, have allowed for multiscale molecular dynamics simulations at finite temperature. Here, we assess the quality of the long-time dynamics these methods generate by considering canonical transition rates. Specifically, we analyze the harmonic transition state theory (HTST) rates in CGMD and compare them to the corresponding HTST rate of the fully atomistic system. The ability of such an approach to reliably reproduce the HTST rate is verified through a relative error analysis, which is then used to highlight the major contributions to the error and guide the choice of degrees of freedom. We focus on the error resulting from coarse-graining, which dominates in systems with low temperature and constitutes a lower bound on the error associated with any method that employs coarse-graining. Finally, our analytical results are compared with numerical simulations for the case of a 1-D chain. C1 [Binder, Andrew; Luskin, Mitchell] Univ Minnesota, Sch Math, Minneapolis, MN 55455 USA.

We account for both the uncertainty due to finite sampling in molecular dynamics ( MD) simulations and the uncertainty in the physical parameters of the model. Using Bayesian inference, we represent the expensive atomistic component by a surrogate model that relates the long-term output of the atomistic simulation to its uncertain inputs. We then present algorithms to solve for the variables exchanged across the atomistic-continuum interface in terms of polynomial chaos expansions (PCEs). We consider a simple Couette flow where velocities are exchanged between the atomistic and continuum components, while accounting for uncertainty in the atomistic model parameters and the continuum boundary conditions. Results show convergence of the coupling algorithm at a reasonable number of iterations. The uncertainty in the obtained variables significantly depends on the amount of data sampled from the MD simulations and on the width of the time averaging window used in the MD simulations.

The spectra cannot be fully understood using the standard technique of comparison to harmonic spectra of minimum-energy structures; a satisfactory assignment requires considering anharmonic effects as well as entropy-driven hydrogen bond network fluctuations. Aided by finite temperature ab initio molecular dynamics simulations, the observed changes in the position, width and intensity of the IRMPD bands with cluster size are related to the sequence of microsolvation. Due to stronger hydrogen bonding to the two terminal P=O groups, these are hydrated before the two P-OH groups. By n = 6, all four end groups are involved in the hydrogen bond network and by n = 12, the cluster spectra show similarities to the condensed phase spectrum of H2PO4-(aq). Our results reveal some of the microscopic details concerning the formation of the aqueous solvation environment around H2PO4-, provide ample testing grounds for the design of model solvation potentials for this biologically relevant anion, and support a new paradigm for the interpretation of IRMPD spectra of microhydrated ions.

Here, we report the potentiometric titration of of alpha,gamma-Fe2O3 oxides exposed to Fe(II) ions. We monitored in situ surface and zeta potentials, the ratio of mobilized ferric to ferrous, and the periodically analyzed nanoparticle crystal structure using X-ray diffraction. Electrokinetic potential reveals weak but still noticeable specific sorption of Fe(ii) to the oxide surface under acidic conditions, and pronounced adsorption under alkaline conditions that results in a surface potential reversal. By monitoring the aqueous iron(II/III) fraction, we found that the addition of Fe(ii) ions produces platinum electrode response consistent with the iron solubility-activity curve. Although, XRD analysis showed no evidence of alpha,gamma-Fe2O3 transformations along the titration pathway despite iron cycling between aqueous and solid reservoirs, the magnetite formation cannot be ruled out.

Doping with Cu is one potential way to make ZnS p-type while preserving its optical transparency for the solar spectrum; however, this is limited by the extremely low solubility of Cu in ZnS and charge compensation mechanisms that eliminate the p-type characteristics. These mechanisms are different in crystalline (c-ZnS) and amorphous structures (a-ZnS), leading to different tendencies of doping Cu in these two ZnS phases, as well as the feasibility to form the p-type material. In this work, we have carried out fundamental studies of Cu doping in both c-ZnS and a-ZnS, using the continuous random network model and density functional theory with Hubbard's energy correction (DFT+U). The formation of a complex that contains two Cu-zn and one S vacancy is highly favorable in both phases. The local environment of this charge-compensated Cu complex obtained by DFT calculations agrees well with the previous EXAFS measurements. The incorporation of Cu into a-ZnS, on the one hand, is more tolerable compared to its crystal counterparts (zincblende), indicating possible higher Cu concentration. On the other hand, there is aka another intrinsic mechanism to compensate the p-type characteristics in a-ZnS: the formation of the covalent S-S "dumbbell" units. This reconstruction of the local structure to form a S S bond could occur spontaneously, thus making the p-type doping for ZnS challenging even in the amorphous phase.

We performed systematic experimental and theoretical studies based on soft X-ray emission, absorption, and hard X-ray Raman spectroscopy of LixFePO4 nanopartides and single crystals. The results clearly show a non-rigid electron-state reconfiguration of both the occupied and unoccupied Fe-3d and 0-2p states during the (de)lithiation process. We focus on the energy configurations of the occupied states of LiFePO4 and the unoccupied states of FePO4, which are the critical states where electrons are removed and injected during the charge and discharge process, respectively. In LiFePO4, the soft X-ray emission spectroscopy shows that, due to the Coulomb repulsion effect, the occupied Fe-3d states with the minority spin sit dose to the Fermi level. In FePO4, the soft X-ray absorption and hard X-ray Raman spectroscopy show that the unoccupied Fe-3d states again sit dose to the Fermi level. These critical 3d electron state configurations are consistent with the calculations based on modified Becke and Johnson potentials GGA+U (MBJGGA+U) framework, which improves the overall lineshape prediction compared with the conventionally used GGA+U method. The combined experimental and theoretical studies show that the non-rigid electron state reshuffling guarantees the stability of oxygen during the redox reaction throughout the charge and discharge process of LiFePO4 electrodes, leading to the intrinsic safe performance of the electrodes.

The present study reports a new approach for minimizing the effect of these reactions. LiMn1.5Ni0.5O4 (LMNO) with two distinct morphologies, octahedron with (111) and plate with (112) surface facets, were synthesized in a similar size and investigated for structural changes and electrochemical stability during long-term cycling and storage in the presence of a liquid carbonate electrolyte. Bulk and surface analyses using ICP, XRD, FTIR, soft and hard XAS revealed that in the charged state, the high-valent transition metals in Mn1.5Ni0.5O4 (MNO) oxidatively decompose the electrolyte which results in electron transfer from the electrolyte to the cathode. As a compensation mechanism, Li+ ions are re-inserted into MNO and the cathode self-discharges. Surface facets where the local redox reactions occur heavily influence the reaction kinetics and selectivity which ultimately determine the nature of the products and rate of self-discharge. Significantly lower self-discharge was observed on octahedra with the (111) facets, benefiting from their ability for promoting sufficient passivation after the initial interaction with the electrolyte.

In recent years, remarkable progresses and modifications have been made upon the fabrication of nanomaterials by vapor transport method. In this review, we introduce various representative nanostructures prepared by vapor transport method and focus on the discussion of their growth, physical properties, and potential applications. Meanwhile, the essential growth mechanisms of nanostructures also have been extensively reviewed, for example, the different growth modes depending upon the specific sample growth. Finally, we conclude this review by providing our perspectives to the future vapor transport method, and indicating some key existing problems. Vapor transport process offers great opportunities for the low-cost preparation of novel single crystals with different doping level and the realization of integrating such nano/micro single crystals into spintronic and electronic devices.

This research study used pollutant measurements, home inspections, diagnostic testing, and occupant surveys to assess indoor air quality in a heterogeneous sample of 24 new or deeply retrofitted homes designed to be high-performance homes in California; homes were not all built or certified to the same performance standard (e.g., California Title 24). Although the mechanically vented homes were six times as airtight as non-mechanically ventilated homes (medians of 1.1 and 6.1ACH(50), n=11 and n=8, respectively), their use of mechanical ventilation systems and possibly window operation meant their median air exchange rates were almost the same (0.30 versus 0.32 hr(-1), n = 8 and n = 8, respectively). Pollutant levels were also similar in vented and unvented homes. Numerous faults were observed in complex mechanical ventilation systems, and they were not corrected as part of this study. More rigorous commissioning is recommended to avoid or correct these faults. Cooking exhaust systems were used inconsistently, and several suffered from design flaws. Failure to follow best practices led to indoor air quality problems in some cases. Ambient nitrogen dioxide benchmarks were exceeded or nearly so in four homes that either used gas ranges with standing pilots or in passive house-style homes that used gas cooking burners without venting range hoods. Homes without active particle filtration had particle count concentrations approximately double those in homes with enhanced filtration, though the effects could not be controlled for outside particle levels and mixing in forced-air homes. The majority of homes reported using low-emitting materials; consistent with this, formaldehyde levels were approximately half those previously measured by another study in conventional, new California homes built before 2008. Emissions of ultrafine particles (with diameters < 100 nm) were about 40 times lower on induction electric cooktops compared with either gas or resistance electric models. These results indicate that high-performance homes can achieve acceptable and even enhanced indoor air quality by providing adequate general mechanical ventilation, using low-emitting materials, providing mechanical particle filtration, incorporating well-designed exhaust ventilation for kitchens and bathrooms, educating occupants to use the kitchen and bath ventilation, and possibly by installing induction cooktops.

TI Chemical aging of single and multicomponent biomass burning aerosol surrogate particles by OH: implications for cloud condensation nucleus activity SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID SOLUBLE ORGANIC-COMPOUNDS; IONIZATION MASS-SPECTROMETRY; SIZE-RESOLVED MEASUREMENTS; AIR-POLLUTION SOURCES; HETEROGENEOUS OXIDATION; ATMOSPHERIC AEROSOL; SURFACE-TENSION; CCN ACTIVITY; HYGROSCOPIC PROPERTIES; WATER-UPTAKE AB Multiphase OH and O-3 oxidation reactions with atmospheric organic aerosol (OA) can influence particle physicochemical properties including composition, morphology, and lifetime. Chemical aging of initially insoluble or low-soluble single-component OA by OH and O-3 can increase their water solubility and hygroscopicity, making them more active as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) and susceptible to wet deposition. However, an outstanding problem is whether the effects of chemical aging on their CCN activity are preserved when mixed with other organic or inorganic compounds exhibiting greater water solubility. In this work, the CCN activity of laboratory-generated biomass burning aerosol (BBA) surrogate particles exposed to OH and O-3 is evaluated by determining the hygroscopicity parameter, kappa, as a function of particle type, mixing state, and OH and O-3 exposure applying a CCN counter (CCNc) coupled to an aerosol flow reactor (AFR). Levoglucosan (LEV), 4-methyl-5-nitrocatechol (MNC), and potassium sulfate (KS) serve as representative BBA compounds that exhibit different hygroscopicity, water solubility, chemical functionalities, and reactivity with OH radicals, and thus exemplify the complexity of mixed inorganic/ organic aerosol in the atmosphere. The CCN activities of all of the particles were unaffected by O-3 exposure. Following exposure to OH, kappa of MNC was enhanced by an order of magnitude, from 0.009 to similar to 0.1, indicating that chemically aged MNC particles are better CCN and more prone to wet deposition than pure MNC particles. No significant enhancement in kappa was observed for pure LEV particles following OH exposure. kappa of the internally mixed particles was not affected by OH oxidation. Furthermore, the CCN activity of OH-exposed MNC-coated KS particles is similar to the OH unexposed atomized 1 : 1 by mass MNC: KS binary-component particles. Our results strongly suggest that when OA is dominated by watersoluble organic carbon (WSOC) or inorganic ions, chemical aging has no significant impact on OA hygroscopicity. The organic compounds exhibiting low solubility behave as if they are infinitely soluble when mixed with a sufficient number of water-soluble compounds. At and beyond this point, the particles' CCN activity is governed entirely by the watersoluble fraction and is not influenced by the oxidized organic fraction. Our results have important implications for heterogeneous oxidation and its impact on cloud formation given that atmospheric aerosol is a complex mixture of organic and inorganic compounds exhibiting a wide range of solubilities.

Of particular interest is the catalytic coupling of CO(2)with inexpensive unsaturated hydrocarbons (olefins, dienes, styrenes, alkynes), providing direct access to carboxylic acids and their derivatives. Although not brand new for the scientific community, it is still a complete challenge, as no truly effective catalytic system has been reported to date. In this Perspective, we discuss the available experimental, theoretical and mechanistic data for such homogeneously catalyzed carboxylation processes. A special focus is placed on the understanding of the key elementary steps and of some thermodynamic and kinetic constraints.

However, the sequence coverage of ribonuclease B was limited in a single activation, and the structural information on the glycan moiety was not probed successfully in previous experiments. Here, we demonstrate that ECD and CID techniques can be used together as an effective top-down method for the structural characterization of intact glycoprotein. Even without an elaborate pre- or post-ECD activation, a high sequence coverage (>90%) of ribonuclease B could be achieved with substantial amounts of structural information for the glycan moiety. By comparing our work with previous results, it is postulated that the disulfide bond reduction strategy might play a significant role in determining the efficiency of top-down MS.

However, the computation of Krylov subspace bases suffers from the overhead of performing global reduction operations when computing the inner vector products in the orthogonalization steps. In this paper, a hypergraph based communication optimization scheme is applied to Arnoldi and incomplete Arnoldi methods of forming Krylov subspace basis from sparse matrix, and features of these methods are compared in a analytical way. Finally, experiments on a CPU-GPU heterogeneous cluster show that our optimization improves the Arnoldi methods implementations for a generic matrix, and a benefit of up to 10x speedup for some special diagonal structured matrix. The performance advantage also varies for different subspace sizes and matrix formats, which requires a further integration of auto-tuning strategy.

In this paper, we focus on the Community Earth System Model, a widely used climate modeling code. It comprises six components each of which exhibits different scalability patterns. Previously, an analytical performance model has been used to find optimal load-balancing parameter configurations for each component. Nevertheless, for the Community Ice Code component, the analytical performance model is too restrictive to capture its scalability patterns. We therefore developed machine-learning-based load-balancing algorithm. It involves fitting a surrogate model to a small number of load-balancing configurations and their corresponding runtimes. This model is then used to find high-quality parameter configurations. Compared with the current practice of expert-knowledge-based enumeration over feasible configurations, the machine-learning-based load-balancing algorithm requires six times fewer evaluations to find the optimal configuration.

It is particularly important for iterative linear solvers, since they take much of the time of many scientific applications. We show that single bit flip errors in the Flexible GMRES iterative linear solver can lead to high computational overhead or even failure to converge to the right answer. Informed by these results, we design and evaluate several strategies for fault tolerance in both inner and outer solvers appropriate across a range of error rates. We implement them, extending Trilinos' solver library with the Global View Resilience (GVR) programming model, which provides multi-stream snapshots, multi-version data structures with portable and rich error checking/recovery. Experimental results validate correct execution with low performance overhead under varied error conditions. C1 [Zheng, Ziming; Chien, Andrew A.] Univ Chicago, Chicago, IL 60637 USA.

Unless the matrix is positive definite, numerical pivoting is usually needed to ensure stability, which is costly to implement especially in the sparse case. The Random Butterfly Transformations (RBT) technique provides an alternative to pivoting and is easily parallelizable. The RBT transforms the original matrix into another one that can be factorized without pivoting with probability one. This approach has been successful for dense matrices; in this work, we investigate the sparse case. In particular, we address the issue of fill-in in the transformed system.

Our method, substituted factorization, replaces the computationally expensive factorization of certain dense submatrices that arise in the course of direct solution with sparse Cholesky factorization with one or more solutions of triangular systems using substitution. These substitutions fit into the tree-structure commonly used by parallel sparse Cholesky, and reduce the initial factorization cost at the expense of a slight increase cost in solving for a right-hand side vector. Our analysis shows that substituted factorization reduces the number of floating-point operations for the model k x k 5-point finite-difference problem by 10% and empirical tests show execution time reduction on average of 24.4%. On a test suite of three-dimensional problems we observe execution time reduction as high as 51.7% and 43.1% on average. C1 [Booth, Joshua Dennis] Sandia Natl Labs, Albuquerque, NM 87185 USA.

We focus on computing the restarting vector v0 to accelerate the ERAM convergence. First, we study different restarting strategies and compare their efficiency. Then, we mix these restarting strategies and show the considerable ERAM convergence improvement. Mixing the restarting strategies optimizes the "numerical efficiency" versus "execution time" ratio as we do not introduce neither additionnal computation nor communications.

With a color X-ray camera (CXC), that enables spatially and energy resolved XRF analysis, the absorption of the primary beam was directly visualized for mL-droplets and an array of pL-droplets printed on a Si-wafer with drop-on-demand technology. As expected, deposits that are hit by the primary beam first shade subsequent droplets, leading to a diminished XRF signal. This shading effect was quantified with enhanced precision making use of sub-pixel analysis that improves the spatial resolution of the camera. The measured absorption was compared to simulated results using three different model calculations. It was found they match very well (average deviation < 10%). Thus errors in quantification due to absorption effects can be accounted for in a more accurate manner. C1 [Menzel, Magnus] Univ Hamburg, Inst Inorgan & Appl Chem, D-20146 Hamburg, Germany.

TI Towards accurate prediction of catalytic activity in IrO2 nanoclusters via first principles-based variable charge force field SO JOURNAL OF MATERIALS CHEMISTRY A LA English DT Article ID MOLECULAR-DYNAMICS SIMULATION; OXYGEN EVOLUTION REACTION; AUGMENTED-WAVE METHOD; IRIDIUM-OXIDE; WATER-OXIDATION; ARTIFICIAL PHOTOSYNTHESIS; EQUALIZATION METHOD; GIBBS ENERGY; PH-SENSORS; THIN-FILMS AB IrO2 is one of the most efficient electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and also has other applications such as in pH sensors. Atomistic modeling of IrO2 is critical for understanding the structure, chemistry, and nanoscale dynamics of IrO2 in these applications. Such modeling has remained elusive due to the lack of an empirical force field (EFF) for IrO2. We introduce a first-principles-based EFF that couples the Morse (MS) potential with a variable charge equilibration method, QEq. The EFF parameters are optimized using a genetic algorithm (GA) on a density functional theory (DFT)-based training set. The resultant Morse plus QEq EFF, "MS-Q" in short, successfully reproduces the lattice parameters, elastic constants, binding energies, and internal coordinates of various polymorphs of IrO2 from DFT calculations. More importantly, MS-Q accurately captures key metrics for evaluating structural and chemical properties of catalysts such as surface energetics, equilibrium shape, electrostatic charges, oxygen vacancy formation energies, relative stability of low index rutile IrO2 surfaces, and pressure-induced phase transformations. The MS-Q EFF is used to predict the oxygen binding energy (E-ad), a well-known descriptor for OER activity, on various sites of a nanocatalyst. We find E-ad to be more favorable at low coordination sites, i.e. edges and corners, compared to planar facets; E-ad is also correlated with charge transfer between the adsorbed O and nanocrystal, highlighting the importance of variable charge electrostatics in modeling catalysis on metal oxide surfaces. Our variable charge force field offers encouraging prospects for carrying out large-scale reactive simulations to evaluate catalytic performance of IrO2 surfaces and nanostructures. C1 [Sen, F.

Here, two novel soluble N-heteroquinones: 5,9,14,18-tetra-((triisopropylsilyl)ethynyl)-6,8,15,17-tetraazaheptacene-7,16-dione (TAHD) and 6,10,17,21-tetra-((triisopropylsilyl)ethynyl)-7,9,18,20-tetraazanonacene-8,19-dione (TAND) with different lengths have been synthesized and their structures were fully characterized by H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR, HRMS and single crystal analysis. Our studies showed that the shorter TAHD molecules are planar in the solid state without intermolecular pi-pi stacking and the main force to stabilize the packing is the C-H-p interaction between (triisopropylsilyl) ethynyl (TIPS) groups and the backbones. Differently, the larger TAND molecules show slightly twisted structures with the anthracene units bent down and up on the two sites and the dihedral angle between the quinone unit and the anthracene unit is 6.71. Meanwhile, TAND molecules adopt face-to-face two-dimensional (2D) brickwork arrangement, and the distances between pi planes are 3.63 and 3.38 nm, respectively, suggesting the existence of pi-pi interactions. The visible-light-driven photoelectrochemical behaviors showed that both TAHD and TAND are n-type semiconductors. However, TAHD shows unstable photovoltage response and lower photocurrent due to the absence of pi-pi interaction while TAND shows stable photovoltage response and a relatively high photocurrent. Our results suggested that the length of the linear N-heteroquinones has large effects on their physical properties, crystal packing and photoelectrochemical behaviors.

TI Electroporation of Functional Bacterial Effectors into Mammalian Cells SO JOVE-JOURNAL OF VISUALIZED EXPERIMENTS LA English DT Article DE Immunology; Issue 95; electroporation; protein; transfection; expression; localization; confocal microscopy; Salmonella; effector ID ENTERICA SEROVAR TYPHIMURIUM; PROTEIN SECRETION SYSTEMS; HIGHLY EFFICIENT METHOD; RESTRICTION ENDONUCLEASES; MONOCLONAL-ANTIBODIES; LIVING CELLS; SALMONELLA; MACROMOLECULES; PATHOGENS; DELIVERY AB The study of protein interactions in the context of living cells can generate critical information about localization, dynamics, and interacting partners. This information is particularly valuable in the context of host-pathogen interactions. Many pathogen proteins function within host cells in a variety of way such as, enabling evasion of the host immune system and survival within the intracellular environment. To study these pathogen-protein host-cell interactions, several approaches are commonly used, including: in vivo infection with a strain expressing a tagged or mutant protein, or introduction of pathogen genes via transfection or transduction. Each of these approaches has advantages and disadvantages. We sought a means to directly introduce exogenous proteins into cells. Electroporation is commonly used to introduce nucleic acids into cells, but has been more rarely applied to proteins although the biophysical basis is exactly the same. A standard electroporator was used to introduce affinity-tagged bacterial effectors into mammalian cells. Human epithelial and mouse macrophage cells were cultured by traditional methods, detached, and placed in 0.4 cm gap electroporation cuvettes with an exogenous bacterial pathogen protein of interest (e.g. Salmonella Typhimurium GtgE). After electroporation (0.3 kV) and a short (4 hr) recovery period, intracellular protein was verified by fluorescently labeling the protein via its affinity tag and examining spatial and temporal distribution by confocal microscopy. The electroporated protein was also shown to be functional inside the cell and capable of correct subcellular trafficking and protein-protein interaction. While the exogenous proteins tended to accumulate on the surface of the cells, the electroporated samples had large increases in intracellular effector concentration relative to incubation alone. The protocol is simple and fast enough to be done in a parallel fashion, allowing for high-throughput characterization of pathogen proteins in host cells including subcellular targeting and function of virulence proteins.

Here we show that the process is pathway dependent and successful co-assembly requires eliminating CPNs larger than 100 nm in solution. Optimizing polymer-solvent interactions can improve conjugate dispersion to a certain extent, but this limits thin film fabrication. Introduction of a trace amount of hydrogen-bond blockers, such as trifluoroacetic acid by vapor absorption, is more effective to reduce CPN aggregation in solution and circumvents issues of solvent immiscibility. This study provides critical insights into guided assemblies within nanoscopic frameworks toward sub-nanometer porous membranes.

In this work, we show that thermally-controlled and surfactant-guided assembly of water-soluble conjugated polymers in aqueous solution is a simple and effective strategy to generate optoelectronic materials with the desired molecular ordering. We have studied a conjugated polymer consisting of a hydrophobic thiophene backbone and hydrophilic, thermo-responsive ethylene oxide side groups, which shows a step-wise, multi-dimensional assembly in water. By incorporating the polymer into phase-segregated domains of an amphiphilic surfactant in solution, we demonstrate that both chain conformation and degree of molecular ordering of the conjugated polymer can be tuned in hexagonal, micellar and lamellar phases of the surfactant solution. The controlled molecular ordering in conjugated polymer assembly is demonstrated as a key factor determining the electronic interaction and optical function.

The 1D array-based ETL is comprised of 1D SnO2 nanowires (NWs) array grown on a F:SnO2 transparent conducting oxide substrate and rutile TiO2 nanoshells epitaxially grown on the surface of the 1D SnO2 NWs. The optimized devices show more than 95% internal quantum yield at 750 nm, and a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 14.2%. The high quantum yield is attributed to dramatically enhanced electron transport in the epitaxial TiO2 layer, compared to that in conventional nanoparticle-based mesoporous TiO2 (mp-TiO2) layers. In addition, the open space in the 1D array-based ETL increases the prevalence of uniform TiO2/perovskite junctions, leading to reproducible device performance with a high fill factor. This work offers a method to achieve reproducible, high-efficiency perovskite solar cells with high-speed electron transport.

Here, we report an in-depth morphology study of the i-OSC active and cathode modifying layers, employing a model system with a well-established bulk-heterojunction, PTB7:PC71BM as the active layer and poly-[(9,9-bis(3'-(N,N-dimethylamino)propyl)-2,7-fluorene)-alt- 2,7-(9,9-dioctylfluorene)] (PFN) as the cathode surface modifying layer. We have also identified the role of a processing additive, 1,8-diiodooctane (DIO), used in the spin-casting of the active layer to increase PCE. Using various characterization techniques, we demonstrate that the high PCEs of i-OSCs are due to the diffusion of electron-accepting PC71BM into the PFN layer, resulting in improved electron transport. The diffusion occurs when residual solvent molecules in the spun-cast film act as a plasticizer. Addition of DIO to the casting solution results in more PC71BM diffusion and therefore more efficient electron transport. This work provides important insight and guidance to further enhancement of i-OSC performance by materials and interface engineering.

The results of X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) showed that the MgF2 nano-coating layers do not physically change the bulk structure of the pristine material. Compared with the pristine compound, the MgF2-coated LMNO electrodes display enhanced cycling stabilities. Particularly, the 5 wt% MgF2-coated LMNO demonstrates the best reversibility, with a capacity retention of 89.9% after 100 cycles, much higher than that of the pristine material, 69.3%. The dQ/dV analysis and apparent Li+ diffusion coefficient calculation prove that the kinetic properties are enhanced after MgF2 surface modification, which partly explains the improved electrochemical performances. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) data confirm that the MgF2 coating layer helps in suppressing the fast growth of the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film in repeated cycling, which effectively stabilizes the spinel structure. Additionally, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) tests show that the MgF2 nano-coating layer also helps in enhancing the thermal stability of the LMNO cathode.

Ground state carbon atoms are generated by 193 nm laser photolysis of carbon suboxide, C3O2 in a buffer of helium. Thermalized reaction products are detected using tunable VUV photoionization and time of flight mass spectrometry. For C(P-3) + ethylene, propargyl (C3H3) is detected as the only molecular product in agreement with previous studies on this reaction. The temporal profiles of the detected ions are used to discriminate C(P-3) reaction products from side reaction products. For C(P-3) + propylene, two reaction channels are identified through the detection of methyl (CH3) and propargyl (C3H3) radicals for the first channel and C4H5 for the second one. Franck-Condon Factor simulations are employed to infer the C4H5-isomer distribution. The measured 1 : 4 ratio for the i-C4H5 isomer relative to the methylpropargyl isomers is similar to the C4H5 isomer distribution observed in low-pressure flames and differs from crossed molecular beams data. The accuracy of these isomer distributions is discussed in view of large uncertainties on the photoionization spectra of the pure C4H5 isomers.

In many cases, understanding mass transport is important for predicting performance and, thus, extensive effort has been devoted to understanding mass transport in these materials. However, most work has focused on the behavior of oxygen while cation transport has received relatively little attention, even though cation diffusion is responsible for many phenomena, including sintering, radiation damage evolution, and deformation processes. Here, we use accelerated molecular dynamics simulations to examine the kinetics of cation defects in one class of complex oxides, A(2)B(2)O(7) pyrochlore. We find that, in some pyrochlore chemistries, B cation defects are kinetically unstable, transforming to A cation defects and antisites at rates faster than they can diffuse. When this occurs, transport of B cations occurs through defect processes on the A sublattice. Further, these A cation defects, either interstitials or vacancies, can interact with antisite disorder, reordering the material locally, though this process is much more efficient for interstitials than vacancies. Whether this behavior occurs in a given pyrochlore depends on the A and B chemistry. Pyrochlores with a smaller ratio of cation radii exhibit this complex behavior, while those with larger ratios exhibit direct migration of B interstitials. Similar behavior has been reported in other complex oxides such as spinels and perovskites, suggesting that this coupling of transport between the A and B cation sublattices, while not universal, occurs in many complex oxides.

Evidence of atomic instabilities during the first charge are addressed in this work with X-ray absorption spectroscopy, first principles simulation at the GGA+U level, and existing literature. The pristine material of composition xLi(2)MnO(3)center dot(1 - x)LiMn0.5Ni0.5O2 is assumed in the simulations to have the form of LiMn2 stripes, alternating with NiMn stripes, in the metal layers. The charged state is simulated by removing Li from the Li layer, relaxing the resultant system by steepest descents, then allowing the structure to evolve by molecular dynamics at 1000 K, and finally relaxing the evolved system by steepest descents. The simulations show that about 1/4 of the oxygen ions in the Li2MnO3 domains are displaced from their original lattice sites, and form oxygen-oxygen bonds, which significantly lowers the energy, relative to that of the starting structure in which the oxygen sublattice is intact. An important consequence of the displacement of the oxygen is that it enables about 1/3 of the (Li2MnO3 domain) Mn ions to migrate to the delithiated Li layers. The decrease in the coordination of the Mn ions is about twice that of the Ni ions. The approximate agreement of simulated coordination number deficits for Mn and Ni following the first charge with analysis of EXAFS measurements on 0.3Li(2)MnO(3)center dot 0.7LiMn(0.5)Ni(0.5)O(2) suggests that the simulation captures significant features of the real material.

In this work, the stability and electronic structures of metal clusters (Pd, Ir, and Rh) supported on pristine graphene and graphene with different sizes of nanopores were investigated using first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Then, CO adsorption and oxidation on the Pd-graphene system were chosen to evaluate its catalytic performance. Graphene with nanopores can strongly stabilize the metal clusters and cause a substantial downshift of the d-band center of the metal clusters, thus decreasing CO adsorption. All binding energies, d-band centers, and adsorption energies show a linear change with the size of the nanopore: a bigger size of the nanopore corresponds to stronger bonding of metal clusters with graphene, lower downshift of the d-band center, and weaker CO adsorption. By using a suitable size nanopore, Pd clusters supported on graphene will have similar CO and O-2 adsorption abilities, thus leading to superior CO tolerance. The DFT calculated reaction energy barriers show that graphene with nanopores is a superior catalyst for CO oxidation reaction. These properties can play an important role in instructing graphene-supported metal catalyst preparation to prevent the diffusion or agglomeration of metal clusters and enhance the catalytic performance.

TI The role of alkoxy radicals in the heterogeneous reaction of two structural isomers of dimethylsuccinic acid SO PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY CHEMICAL PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID SITU CHEMICAL-CHARACTERIZATION; TIME-MASS-SPECTROMETRY; ORGANIC AEROSOL; RATE CONSTANTS; MOLECULAR-STRUCTURE; HYDROXYL RADICALS; MODEL SYSTEM; OXIDATION; OH; PHASE AB A key challenge in understanding the transformation chemistry of organic aerosols is to quantify how changes in molecular structure alter heterogeneous reaction mechanisms. Here we use two model systems to investigate how the relative locations of branched methyl groups control the heterogeneous reaction of OH with two isomers of dimethylsuccinic acid (C6H10O4). 2,2-Dimethylsuccinic acid (2,2-DMSA) and 2,3-dimethylsuccinic acid (2,3-DMSA) differ only in the location of the two branched methyl groups, thus enabling a closer inspection of how the distribution of carbon reaction sites impacts the chemical evolution of the aerosol. The heterogeneous reaction of OH with 2,3-DMSA (reactive OH uptake coefficient, gamma = 0.99 +/- 0.16) is found to be similar to 2 times faster than that of 2,2-DMSA (gamma = 0.41 +/- 0.07), which is attributed to the larger stability of the tertiary alkyl radical produced by the initial OH abstraction reaction. While changes in the average aerosol oxidation state (OSC) and the carbon number (N-C) are similar for both isomers upon reaction, significant differences are observed in the underlying molecular distribution of reaction products. The reaction of OH with the 2,3-DMSA isomer produces two major reaction products: a product containing a new alcohol functional group (C6H10O5) formed by intermolecular hydrogen abstraction and a C-5 compound formed via carbon-carbon (C-C) bond scission. Both of these reaction products are explained by the formation and subsequent reaction of a tertiary alkoxy radical. In contrast, the OH reaction with the 2,2-DMSA isomer forms four dominant reaction products, the majority of which are C-5 scission products. The difference in the quantity of C-C bond scission products for these two isomers is unexpected since decomposition is assumed to be favored for the isomer with the most tertiary carbon sites (i.e. 2,3-DMSA). For both isomers, there is a much larger abundance of C-6 alcohol relative to C-6 ketone products, which suggests that the presence of the two branched methyl groups favors alkoxy formation from peroxy radical self-reactions. These results reveal how the isomeric structure ultimately controls the overall competition between functionalization and fragmentation in these model systems.

Focusing on the formation of the key precursor in the CO2 photoreduction reaction (bent CO2-), we find that flatter (2D-like) Pt clusters that "wet'' the TiO2 surface offer significantly less benefit than 3D-like Pt clusters. We attribute the differences to three factors. First, the 3D clusters provide a greater number of accessible Pt-TiO2 interfacial sites with geometries that can aid CO2 bond bending and charge transfer processes. Second, binding competition among each Pt-CO2 bonding interaction mitigates maximum orbital overlaps, leading to insufficient CO2 binding. Third and also most interestingly, the 3D clusters tend to possess higher structural fluxionality than the flatter clusters, which is shown to correlate positively with CO2 binding strength. The preferred morphology adopted by the clusters depends on several factors, including the cluster size and the presence of oxygen vacancies on the TiO2 surface; this suggests a strategy for optimizing the synergistic effect between Pt clusters and TiO2 surfaces for CO2 photocatalysis. Clusters of similar to 6-8 atoms should provide the largest benefit, since they retain the desired 3D morphology, yet are small enough to exhibit high structural fluxionality. Electronic structure analysis provides additional insight into the electronic motivations for the enhanced binding of CO2 on TiO2-supported 3D Pt clusters, as well as suppressed binding on flattened, 2D-like clusters.

We show that a triply degenerate (T-2) Feshbach resonance is responsible for the broad 10 eV dissociation peak in methane. This resonance alone is shown to correlate asymptotically to the various dissociation channels observed experimentally. The molecular-frame entrance amplitude for electron attachment is calculated for each component of the threefold degenerate resonance. By investigating the topology of the anion potential energy surfaces, we deduce the main pathways to two-and three-body breakup channels involving both bond scission and bond formation. The computed fragment angular distributions reproduce the main trends of the experimental measurements. C1 [Douguet, N.; Orel, A. E.] Univ Calif Davis, Dept Chem Engn & Mat Sci, Davis, CA 95616 USA.

While (UO2)(O-2)(H2O)(2) satisfies the necessary and sufficient Born criteria for mechanical stability, (UO2)(O-2)(H2O)(2)center dot 2H(2)O is found to be mechanically metastable, which might be the underlying cause of the irreversibility of the studtite to metastudtite transformation. According to Pugh's and Poisson's ratios and the Cauchy pressure, both phases are considered ductile and shear modulus is the parameter limiting their mechanical stability. Debye temperatures of 294 and 271 K are predicted for polycrystalline (UO2)(O-2)(H2O)(2)center dot 2H(2)O and (UO2)(O-2)(H2O)(2), suggesting a lower micro-hardness of metastudtite.

For example, a vented experiment may take longer to ignite than a sealed experiment In the current work, we show the effect of venting on thermal ignition of Comp-B. We use Sandia's Instrumented Thermal Ignition (SITI) experiment with various headspace volumes in both vented and sealed geometries to study ignition of Comp-B. In some of these experiments, we have used a boroscope to observe Comp-B as it melts and reacts. We propose that the mechanism for ignition involves TNT melting, dissolution of RDX, and complex bubbly liquid flow. High pressure inhibits bubble formation and flow is significantly reduced.

The minimum distance between posts was 1.3-5 times the diameter of the nanoparticles. The image structure functions obtained from the DDM analysis were isotropic and could be fit by a stretched exponential function. The relaxation time scaled diffusively across the range of wave vectors studied, and the corresponding scalar diffusivities decreased monotonically with increased confinement. The decrease in diffusivity could be described by models for hindered diffusion that accounted for steric restrictions and hydrodynamic interactions. The stretching exponent decreased linearly as the nanoparticles were increasingly confined by the posts. Together, these results are consistent with a picture in which strongly confined nanoparticles experience a heterogeneous spatial environment arising from hydrodynamics and volume exclusion on time scales comparable to cage escape, leading to multiple relaxation processes and Fickian but non-Gaussian diffusive dynamics.

However, traditional methods to measure these quantities require multiple experiments using separate equipment. This work introduces a new multi-step procedure for directly accessing in situ multiple physical properties of droplet interface bilayers (DIB), including specific capacitance (related to thickness), lipid monolayer tension in the Plateau-Gibbs border, and bilayer tension. The procedure employs a combination of mechanical manipulation of bilayer area followed by electrowetting of the capacitive interface to examine the sensitivities of bilayer capacitance to area and contact angle to voltage, respectively. These data allow for determining the specific capacitance of the membrane and surface tension of the lipid monolayer, which are then used to compute bilayer thickness and tension, respectively. The use of DIBs affords accurate optical imaging of the connected droplets in addition to electrical measurements of bilayer capacitance, and it allows for reversibly varying bilayer area. After validating the accuracy of the technique with diphytanoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPhPC) DIBs in hexadecane, the method is applied herein to quantify separately the effects on membrane thickness and tension caused by varying the solvent in which the DIB is formed and introducing cholesterol into the bilayer. Because the technique relies only on capacitance measurements and optical images to determine both thickness and tension, this approach is specifically well-suited for studying the effects of peptides, biomolecules, natural and synthetic nanoparticles, and other species that accumulate within membranes without altering bilayer conductance.

The zwitterionic polymer coatings provided minimal resistance against bacterial biofilm retention and microalgal cell attachment, but facilitated good removal of attached microbial biomass by exposure to water-jet apparatus generated hydrodynamic shearing forces. Increasing the ion content of the coatings improved the AF properties, but required a stronger adhesive bond to the epoxy-primed aluminum substratum to prevent coating swelling and dissolution. Grafted poly(sulfobetaine) (gpSBMA), the most promising zwitterionic coating identified from microfouling evaluations, enabled the removal of four out of five barnacles reattached to its surface without incurring damage to their baseplates. This significant result indicated that gpSBMA relied predominately on its surface chemistry for its FR properties since it was very thin (similar to 1-2 mu m) relative to commercial coating standards (>200 mu m).

Assessing the economics of various options to address coal-fired boiler is essential to identify cost-effective solutions. This paper discusses our work in conducting a cost-effectiveness analysis on various types of improvement measures ranging from energy efficiency retrofits to switch from coal to other fuels in China. Sensitivity analysis was also performed in order to understand the impacts of some economic factors such as discount rate and energy price on the economics of boiler improvement options. The results show that nine out of 14 solutions are cost-effective, and a lower discount rate and higher energy price will result in more energy efficiency measures being cost-effective. Both monetary and non-monetary barriers to energy-efficiency improvement are discussed and policies to tackle these barriers are recommended. Our research aims at providing a methodology to assess cost-effective solutions to boiler problems. (C) 2015 Published by Elsevier lid.

It is overexpressed in various types of cancer cells, while it is produced restrictedly in normal tissues. Areas covered: We discuss its characteristics in cancer cells compared with normal cells. We also mention the current applications to target LAT1 for anticancer therapy focusing on prognostic biomarkers, radio-labeled tumor imaging reagents, amino acid-stapled prodrugs, LAT1-mediated enhanced transport of anticancer drugs and LAT1 inhibitors. Expert opinion: LAT1 can be a versatile target to promisingly develop transporter-based drugs with enhanced drug delivery potential for anticancer therapy.

The phases and their changes in both the cathode and anode are identified simultaneously. For the anode component, during the charge process, as well as the LixC6 phase, a lithium-rich phase close to LiC6 phase and a series of intermediate phases between the Li0.5C6 and LiC6 phases are observed. A distinct lithium intercalation/deintercalation mechanism is proposed for the cathode. The transforms of LiFePO4 into the FePO4 consists three periods with different components of phases, i.e., LiFePO4 lithium-deficient solid solution phases (period I), FePO4 LiFePO4 phases (period II), and FePO4 + lithium-rich solid solution phases (period III). The changes in both the andode and cathode during the discharge process are just inversed to those occurrs during the charge process. The present work indicates that dynamic lithiation/delithaition process under real working condition is different from those at the thermodynamic state, and the in situ HESXRD is one of the most promising technique to monitor such kind of dynamic lithium behavior.

TI Through-Plane Conductivities of Membranes for Nonaqueous Redox Flow Batteries SO JOURNAL OF THE ELECTROCHEMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID ELECTROCHEMICAL ENERGY-STORAGE; IONIC LIQUIDS; METAL-COMPLEXES; ELECTROLYTE; LIGANDS AB Nonaqueous redox flow batteries (RFB) leverage nonaqueous solvents to enable higher operating voltages compared to their aqueous counterparts. Most commercial components for flow batteries, however, are designed for aqueous use. One critical component, the ion-selective membrane, provides ionic conductance between electrodes while preventing crossover of electroactive species. Here we evaluate the area-specific conductances and through-plane conductivities of commercially available microporous separators (Celgard 2400, 2500) and anion exchange membranes (Neosepta AFX, Neosepta AHA, Fumasep FAP-450, Fumasep FAP-PK) soaked in acetonitrile, propylene carbonate, or two imidazolium-based ionic liquids. Fumasep membranes combined with acetonitrile-based electrolyte solutions provided the highest conductance values and conductivities by far. When tested in ionic liquids, all anion exchange membranes displayed conductivities greater than those of the Celgard microporous separators, though the separators' decreased thickness-enabled conductances on par with the most conductive anion exchange membranes. Ionic conductivity is not the only consideration when choosing an anion exchange membrane; testing of FAP-450 and FAP-PK membranes in a nonaqueous RFB demonstrated that the increased mechanical stability of PEEK-supported FAP-PK minimized swelling, in turn decreasing solvent mediated crossover and enabling greater electrochemical yields (40% vs. 4%) and Coulombic efficiencies (94% vs. 90%) compared to the unsupported, higher conductance FAP-450.

The use of LiPF6 salt can be problematic as well, not only catalyzing electrolyte decomposition, but also providing a mechanism for HF production. This work evaluates the safety performance of the common components ethylene carbonate (EC), diethyl carbonate (DEC), dimethyl carbonate (DMC), and ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC) in the context of the gasses produced during thermal decomposition, looking at both the quantity and composition of the vapor produced. EC and DEC were found to be the largest contributors to gas production, both producing upwards of 1.5 moles of gas/mole of electrolyte. DMC was found to be relatively stable, producing very little gas regardless of the presence of LiPF6. EMC was stable on its own, but the addition of LiPF6 catalyzed decomposition of the solvent. While gas analysis did not show evidence of significant quantities of any acutely toxic materials, the gasses themselves all contained enough flammable components to potentially ignite in air.

ZnO electrodes were galvanostatically charged/discharged in situ for several cycles while XAFS spectra at the Zn K-edge were taken. X-ray absorption near edge structure ()CANES) spectroscopy provided information on the oxidation state of Zn atoms in each charged and discharged state. Modeling of extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) provided detailed information on the Zn-O, Zn-Zn and even Zn-Li coordination numbers and atomic distances for each charged and discharged electrode states. Based on the changes in atomic arrangement deduced from EXAFS fitting results, it is suggested that metallic Zn nanoparticles larger than 10 nm in diameter and bulk-like properties are created during the first few cycles. In the first discharged state, a small fraction of metallic Zn is oxidized back to ZnO, but such re-oxidation is only observed in the first discharged state. On subsequent cycling, the local Zn environment is unchanged, indicating that majority of zinc is no longer participating in any electrochemical reaction. The observed rapid capacity fade is correlated to the irreversible conversion of ZnO to metallic Zn and segregation of Zn atoms into the large metallic zinc nanoparticles during the first charge, which is essentially conversion of the high capacity ZnO electrode to a poorly performing metallic Zn anode.

TI Electrode Side Reactions, Capacity Loss and Mechanical Degradation in Lithium-Ion Batteries SO JOURNAL OF THE ELECTROCHEMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID AGING MECHANISMS; SELF-DISCHARGE; STRESS; CELLS; ANODE; LI; PERFORMANCE; EVOLUTION AB For advancing lithium-ion battery (LIB) technologies, a detailed understanding of battery degradation mechanisms is important. In this article, experimental observations are provided to elucidate the relation between side reactions, mechanical degradation, and capacity loss in LIBs. Graphite/Li(Ni1/3Mn1/3Co1/3)O-2 cells of two very different initial anode/cathode capacity ratios (R, both R> 1) are assembled to investigate the electrochemical behavior. The initial charge capacity of the cathode is observed to be affected by the anode loading, indicating that the electrolyte reactions on the anode affect the electrolyte reactions on the cathode. Additionally, the rate of "marching" of the cathode is found to be affected by the anode loading. These findings attest to the "cross-talk" between the two electrodes. During cycling, the cell with the higher R value display a lower columbic efficiency, yet a lower capacity fade rate as compared to the cell with the smaller R. This supports the notion that columbic efficiency is not a perfect predictor of capacity fade. Capacity loss is attributed to the irreversible production of new solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) facilitated by the mechanical degradation of the SEI. The higher capacity fade in the cell with the lower R is explained with the theory of diffusion-induced stresses (DISs). (C) The Author(s) 2015. Published by ECS. All rights reserved.

TI High Potential Excursions during PEM Fuel Cell Operation with Dead-Ended Anode SO JOURNAL OF THE ELECTROCHEMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID CARBON CORROSION; START-UP; SINGLE-SERPENTINE; MEMBRANE; DEGRADATION; DURABILITY; TRANSPORT; PLATINUM; BEHAVIOR; SHUTDOWN AB Operating a proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell with a dead-ended anode may lead to local fuel starvation due to the excessive accumulation of liquid water and possibly nitrogen (because of membrane crossover) in the anode compartment. In this paper, we present experimental results obtained with a segmented, linear cell with reference electrodes along the gas channels, used to record local anode and cathode potentials. By simultaneously monitoring the local potentials and current densities during operation, we assessed the impact of fuel starvation on local fuel cell performance during aging protocols consisting of repeated dead-ended anode operation sequences (with anode outlet closed longer than in real use conditions). During the aging protocols, we observed strong local cathode potential excursions close to the anode outlet. The cathode showed non-uniform ElectroChemical Surface Area (ECSA) losses and performance degradation along the cell area. The damage was more severe in the regions suffering the longest from fuel starvation. Similar experiments performed in different operating conditions and with different membrane thickness showed that water management impacts significantly the cathode potential variations and thus the MBA degradation. Most of the MBA degradation is attributed to local cathode potential excursions above 1.2 V although potential cycling between 0.5 V and 0.7 V also had an impact in the regions well supplied with hydrogen (hydrogen purges were triggered when the fuel cell voltage dropped from about 0.7 V to 0.5 V). According to our results, localized and transient hydrogen starvation events may be difficult to detect by considering only the overall fuel cell performance. (C) The Author(s) 2015.

TI Oxygen Reduction Reaction Measurements on Platinum Electrocatalysts Utilizing Rotating Disk Electrode Technique SO JOURNAL OF THE ELECTROCHEMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID MEMBRANE FUEL-CELLS; OXIDE-FREE PLATINUM; PERCENT ORTHOPHOSPHORIC ACID; INDEX SINGLE-CRYSTALS; O-2 REDUCTION; PARTICLE-SIZE; THIN-FILM; IN-SITU; ELECTROREDUCTION ACTIVITY; ALLOY ELECTROCATALYSTS AB The rotating disk electrode (RDE) technique is being extensively used as a screening tool to estimate the activity of novel PEMFC electrocatalysts synthesized in lab-scale (mg) quantities. Discrepancies in measured activity attributable to glassware and electrolyte impurity levels, as well as conditioning, protocols and corrections are prevalent in the literature. The electrochemical response to a broad spectrum of commercially sourced perchloric acid and the effect of acid molarity on impurity levels and solution resistance were also assessed. Our findings reveal that an area specific activity (SA) exceeding 2.0 mA/cm(2) (20 mV/s, 25 degrees C, 100 kPa, 0.1 M HClO4) for polished poly-Pt is an indicator of impurity levels that do not impede the accurate measurement of the ORR activity of Pt based catalysts. After exploring various conditioning protocols to approach maximum utilization of the electrochemical area (ECA) and peak ORR activity without introducing catalyst degradation, an investigation of measurement protocols for ECA and ORR activity was conducted. Down-selected protocols were based on the criteria of reproducibility, duration of experiments, impurity effects and magnitude of pseudo-capacitive background correction. Statistical reproducibility of ORR activity for poly-Pt and Pt supported on high surface area carbon was demonstrated. (c) The Author(s) 2015. Published by ECS. All rights reserved.

TI Density and velocity statistics in variable density turbulent mixing SO JOURNAL OF TURBULENCE LA English DT Article DE variable density turbulence; turbulent mixing; buoyant jet ID TAYLOR INSTABILITY; REYNOLDS-NUMBER; HELIUM JETS; FLUIDS; MODEL AB We experimentally study variable-density mixing of miscible gases in an open-circuit wind tunnel using simultaneous particle image velocimetry and planar laser-induced fluorescence. Experiments of a high Atwood number (0.6) and low Atwood number (0.1) are performed to compare non-Boussinesq cases with the Boussinesq limit. The higher density gas is injected into the wind tunnel co-flow using a round jet configuration, and near-field and far-field measurements are performed to examine mixing in both momentum and buoyancy-dominated regimes. The effects of buoyancy are measurable and important in both large-scale mixing features and in turbulence quantities. The low Atwood number PDFs (probability density functions) show fast and uniform mixing. The high Atwood number PDFs of density have skewness towards the larger densities, indicating less mixing of the heavy fluid due to its inertia. The skewness in the density gradient PDFs at high Atwood number displays strong density local variations that can enhance mixing at molecular scales. Turbulent kinetic energy decreases with streamwise distance from the jet for low Atwood number but increases for high Atwood number due to larger buoyancy and density-driven shear. Over 3000 experimental realisations are used to calculate statistical characteristics of the mixing, including valuable and rarely given data such as Favre-averaged turbulent quantities: mass flux velocity, Reynolds stress, turbulent kinetic energy, and density-specific volume correlation. Buoyancy effects are observed in these quantities and the trends are compared qualitatively with direct numerical simulations.

Thermodynamic parameters of the complexation of picolinate with Np(V) at elevated temperatures are needed to help predict the migration behavior of Np(V) in nuclear waste repositories where the temperature could be high. In this work, the equilibrium constants of picolinate protonation and its complexation with Np(V) were determined at T = 283-343 K and I = 1.0 mol dm(-3) NaClO4 by potentiometry and spectrophotometry, respectively. Both the protonation and the complexation constants decrease with the increase of temperature, indicating the reactions are exothermic. The enthalpies of protonation and complexation were both found to be negative and moderately large at T = 298 K and I = 1.0 mol dm(-3) NaClO4 by titration calorimetry. The effect of temperature on the spectroscopic features of Np(V) is interpreted in terms of thermal expansion of the complex coordinates that results in blue shifts of the Np(V) absorption band at higher temperatures.

NETL has adopted Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) for the last five years to estimate progress in technology development under its research portfolio. Advanced fossil energy systems need to be tested at full-scale in an integrated facility before they can be considered ready for commercial deployment. Commercial-scale demonstrations of energy technology present numerous challenges associated with first-of-a-kind facilities, one in particular being the need to integrate multiple emerging technologies that were previously demonstrated in pilot-scale applications into a design that can be constructed and operated under commercial plant operating conditions. Systems Readiness Level (SRL) methodology is an analysis approach developed by the Department of Defense (DoD) as a metric for assessing progress in developing major military systems. SRL methodology builds on Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) widely used in government agencies to assess the maturity of emerging technologies under development. To estimate the level of readiness of a system comprising multiple emerging technologies in their current state, SRL methodology unites the TRL for each technology with Integration Readiness Levels that express the need for each of these technologies to be integrated with other technologies in the system. A matrix algebra approach is then used to estimate an overall level of systems readiness for the intended system. NETL tested SRL methodology in a pilot application with the objective of developing better analysis tools to support major decisions regarding advanced fossil energy technologies. NETL applied SRL methodology to estimate the readiness of two advanced fossil energy technology projects using data that was available at the time they were initiated. This paper describes the successful pilot application, the lessons learned and the potential for SRL methodology to support technology development. (C) 2015 Published by Elsevier B.V.

TI Controls on terrestrial carbon feedbacks by productivity versus turnover in the CMIP5 Earth System Models SO BIOGEOSCIENCES LA English DT Article ID SOIL ORGANIC-MATTER; GLOBAL VEGETATION MODELS; FOREST PRODUCTIVITY; ATMOSPHERIC CO2; CYCLE FEEDBACK; CLIMATE; ALLOCATION; STORAGE; 21ST-CENTURY; SIMULATIONS AB To better understand sources of uncertainty in projections of terrestrial carbon cycle feedbacks, we present an approach to separate the controls on modeled carbon changes. We separate carbon changes into four categories using a linearized, equilibrium approach: those arising from changed inputs (productivity-driven changes), and outputs (turnover-driven changes), of both the live and dead carbon pools. Using Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) simulations for five models, we find that changes to the live pools are primarily explained by productivity-driven changes, with only one model showing large compensating changes to live carbon turnover times. For dead carbon pools, the situation is more complex as all models predict a large reduction in turnover times in response to increases in productivity. This response arises from the common representation of a broad spectrum of decomposition turnover times via a multi-pool approach, in which flux-weighted turnover times are faster than mass-weighted turnover times. This leads to a shift in the distribution of carbon among dead pools in response to changes in inputs, and therefore a transient but long-lived reduction in turnover times. Since this behavior, a reduction in inferred turnover times resulting from an increase in inputs, is superficially similar to priming processes, but occurring without the mechanisms responsible for priming, we call the phenomenon "false priming", and show that it masks much of the intrinsic changes to dead carbon turnover times as a result of changing climate. These patterns hold across the fully coupled, biogeochem-ically coupled, and radiatively coupled 1% yr(-1) increasing CO2 experiments. We disaggregate inter-model uncertainty in the globally integrated equilibrium carbon responses to initial turnover times, initial productivity, fractional changes in turnover, and fractional changes in productivity. For both the live and dead carbon pools, inter-model spread in carbon changes arising from initial conditions is dominated by model disagreement on turnover times, whereas inter-model spread in carbon changes from fractional changes to these terms is dominated by model disagreement on changes to productivity in response to both warming and CO2 fertilization. However, the lack of changing turnover time control on carbon responses, for both live and dead carbon pools, in response to the imposed forcings may arise from a common lack of process representation behind changing turnover times (e.g., allocation and mortality for live carbon; permafrost, microbial dynamics, and mineral stabilization for dead carbon), rather than a true estimate of the importance of these processes.

TI Tetraarylborate polymer networks as single-ion conducting solid electrolytes SO CHEMICAL SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID RECHARGEABLE LITHIUM BATTERIES; MECHANISMS; CHALLENGES; TRANSPORT; MONOMERS; GROWTH; CARBON; CELLS AB A new family of solid polymer electrolytes based upon anionic tetrakis(phenyl) borate tetrahedral nodes and linear bis-alkyne linkers is reported. Sonogashira polymerizations using tetrakis(4-iodophenyl) borate, tetrakis(4-iodo-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorophenyl) borate and tetrakis(4-bromo-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorophenyl) borate delivered highly cross-linked polymer networks with both 1,4-diethynylbeznene and a tri(ethylene glycol) substituted derivative. Promising initial conductivity metrics have been observed, including high room temperature conductivities (up to 2.7 x 10(-4) S cm(-1)), moderate activation energies (0.25-0.28 eV), and high lithium ion transport numbers (up to t(Li+) = 0.93). Initial investigations into the effects of important materials parameters such as bulk morphology, porosity, fluorination, and other chemical modification, provide starting design parameters for further development of this new class of solid electrolytes.

TI Spatial regulation of a common precursor from two distinct genes generates metabolite diversity SO CHEMICAL SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID ASPERGILLUS-NIDULANS; SHIKIMATE METABOLITES; BIOSYNTHESIS; TERREUS; IDENTIFICATION; POLYKETIDE; PRODUCTS; TUBULINS; CLUSTERS; ENZYMES AB In secondary metabolite biosynthesis, core synthetic genes such as polyketide synthase genes usually encode proteins that generate various backbone precursors. These precursors are modified by other tailoring enzymes to yield a large variety of different secondary metabolites. The number of core synthesis genes in a given species correlates, therefore, with the number of types of secondary metabolites the organism can produce. In our study, heterologous expression of all the A. terreus NRPS-like genes showed that two NRPS-like proteins, encoded by atmelA and apvA, release the same natural product, aspulvinone E. In hyphae this compound is converted to aspulvinones whereas in conidia it is converted to melanin. The genes are expressed in different tissues and this spatial control is probably regulated by their own specific promoters. Comparative genomics indicates that atmelA and apvA might share a same ancestral gene and the gene apvA is located in a highly conserved region in Aspergillus species that contains genes coding for life-essential proteins. Our data reveal the first case in secondary metabolite biosynthesis in which the tissue specific production of a single compound directs it into two separate pathways, producing distinct compounds with different functions. Our data also reveal that a single trans-prenyltransferase, AbpB, prenylates two substrates, aspulvinones and butyrolactones, revealing that genes outside of contiguous secondary metabolism gene clusters can modify more than one compound thereby expanding metabolite diversity. Our study raises the possibility of incorporation of spatial, cell-type specificity in expression of secondary metabolites of biological interest and provides new insight into designing and reconstituting their biosynthetic pathways.

Schmid, Michael Taira, Masanori TI A New Nomenclature of Xenopus laevis Chromosomes Based on the Phylogenetic Relationship to Silurana/Xenopus tropicalis SO CYTOGENETIC AND GENOME RESEARCH LA English DT Article DE BrdU replication banding pattern; Homoeologous chromosomes; Nomenclature; Xenopus laevis; Xenopus tropicalis ID AMPHIBIA; PIPIDAE AB Xenopus laevis (XLA) is an allotetraploid species which appears to have undergone whole-genome duplication after the interspecific hybridization of 2 diploid species closely related to Silurana/Xenopus tropicalis (XTR). Previous cDNA fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) experiments have identified 9 sets of homoeologous chromosomes in X. laevis, in which 8 sets correspond to chromosomes 1-8 of X. tropicalis (XTR1-XTR8), and the last set corresponds to a fusion of XTR9 and XTR10. In addition, recent X. laevis genome sequencing and BAC-FISH experiments support this physiological relationship and show no gross chromosome translocation in the X. laevis karyotype. Therefore, for the benefit of both comparative cytogenetics and genome research, we here propose a new chromosome nomenclature for X. laevis based on the phylogenetic relationship and chromosome length, i.e. XLA1L, XLA1S, XLA2L, XLA2S, and so on, in which the numbering of XLA chromosomes corresponds to that in X. tropicalis and the postfixes 'L' and 'S' stand for 'long' and 'short' chromosomes in the homoeologous pairs, which can be distinguished cytologically by their relative size. The last chromosome set is named XLA9L and XLA9S, in which XLA9 corresponds to both XTR9 and XTR10, and hence, to emphasize the phylogenetic relationship to X. tropicalis, XLA9_10L and XLA9_10S are also used as synonyms.

TI Electrochemical Reduction of Ag0.48VOPO4: A Mechanistic Study Employing X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy and X-Ray Powder Diffraction SO JOURNAL OF THE ELECTROCHEMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID VANADIUM PHOSPHATE-GLASSES; LITHIUM BATTERIES; CATHODE MATERIAL; STRUCTURAL-CHARACTERIZATION; HYDROTHERMAL SYNTHESIS; CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE; LAYER STRUCTURE; SILVER; LIFEPO4; DISCHARGE AB The electrochemical reduction of Ag0.48VOPO4 center dot 1.9H(2)O is accompanied by vanadium and silver oxidation state changes, characterized with X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), and by structural changes, characterized with X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). The XAS data suggest that the initial reduction process, involving 0 to 0.5 electron equivalents, involved primarily the reduction of vanadium cations, while most of the silver cations are reduced between 0.5 to 1.0 electron equivalents. The XRD data display significant intensity decreases of absorbances associated with the 004 and 006 planes upon electrochemical reduction, consistent with a reduction-displacement of Ag+ with insertion of Li+. Retention of intensity of the absorbance associated with the 002 plane, with only minor decrease in interlayer spacing, indicates retention of the VOPO4 sublattice structure. Uncovering the details of the discharge mechanism of bimetallic cathode materials such as Ag0.48VOPO4 should enable the design of future high current cathodes for secondary batteries displaying an enhanced current capacity based on a reduction-displacement strategy.

TI Current Collector Corrosion in Ca-Ion Batteries SO JOURNAL OF THE ELECTROCHEMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID NONAQUEOUS ELECTROLYTES; ALUMINUM CORROSION; LITHIUM-SALTS; ELECTRODES; BEHAVIOR AB With significant improvements in electrical energy storage, researchers could change the way energy is generated and used. One emerging approach is to change the cation that shuttles charge from lithium to calcium. Calcium cations, roughly the same size as Na+, have many attributes that make them a desirable charge carrier for energy storage applications, including deposition voltage and a porous passivation layer. However, system level issues, such as corrosion, have yet to be investigated. Corrosion of the current collectors must be considered whenever you change the electrolyte and we show that this is particularly true for calcium based systems. Reversible charge/discharge behavior that is due to corrosion can be seen with stainless steel in electrolytes containing calcium salts. This reversible behavior is similar to what might be expected from materials that are intercalating Ca, making the interpretation of electrochemical data challenging. We have found that this corrosion reaction requires either carbon black and/or a transition metal oxide to catalyze the reaction, making it more difficult to detect. Unlike stainless steel, Graphite foil electrodes do not show high voltage reactions and can be used as a tool for testing Ca-ion cathode materials, although some reactions at low potentials have been observed.

TI Design of Bi-Tortuous, Anisotropic Graphite Anodes for Fast Ion-Transport in Li-Ion Batteries SO JOURNAL OF THE ELECTROCHEMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID ALGEBRAIC MULTIGRID METHOD; ELECTRODE; INHOMOGENEITIES; PERFORMANCE; EQUATIONS; CATHODES; ORDER; MODEL; CELL AB Thick Li-ion battery electrodes with high ion transport rates could enable batteries that cost less and that have higher gravimetric and volumetric energy density, because they require fewer inactive cell-components. Finding ways to increase ion transport rates in thick electrodes would be especially valuable for electrodes made with graphite platelets, which have been shown to have tortuosities in the thru-plane direction about 3 times higher than in the in-plane direction. Here, we predict that bi-tortuous electrode structures (containing electrolyte-filled macro-pores embedded in micro-porous graphite) can enhance ion transport and can achieve double the discharge capacity compared to an unstructured electrode at the same average porosity. We introduce a new two-dimensional version of porous-electrode theory with anisotropic ion transport to investigate these effects and to interpret the mechanisms by which performance enhancements arise. From this analysis we determine criteria for the design of bi-tortuous graphite anodes, including the particular volume fraction of macro-pores that maximizes discharge capacity (approximately 20 vol.%) and a threshold spacing interval (half the electrode's thickness) below which only marginal enhancement in discharge capacity is obtained. We also report the sensitivity of performance with respect to cycling rate, electrode thickness, and average porosity/electroactive-material loading. (C) The Author(s) 2015. Published by ECS.

The synthesized catalysts produce specific activities in rotating disk electrode half-cells 20 times greater than Pd nanoparticles and about 80% higher than polycrystalline Pd. Although the surface area of the Pd nanotubes was low compared to conventional catalysts, partial galvanic displacement thrifted the noble metal layer and increased the Pd surface area. The use of Pd coated Cu nanowires resulted in a HOR mass exchange current density 7 times greater than the Pd nanoparticles. The activity of the Pd coated Cu nanowires further nears Pt/C, producing 95% of the mass activity. (C) The Author(s) 2015. Published by ECS. All rights reserved.

ORR on smooth electrodes was strongly inhibited under specific conditions dependent on temperature, humidity, and scan rate. From the data presented, we postulate that dynamic changes in the molecular structure of the ionomer at the platinum interface result in differences in ORR voltammetry for films prepared and equilibrated under different conditions. The lack of similar changes for rough, platinized electrodes has been attributed to differences in initial ionomer structure and a higher energy barrier for ionomer restructuring. These model system studies yield insight into the ionomer-catalyst interface of particular interest for polymer electrolyte fuel cells. (C) The Author(s) 2015. Published by ECS. All rights reserved.

Commercially available Hi-Spec JM10000 (PtRu) was modified with nitrogen via ion implantation in order to modify those areas not shielded by the pre-existing catalyst. The effects of this process on the structure and chemical composition of the catalyst and carbon support were explored using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), while the electrochemical performance and stability of the catalyst were then investigated using rotating disk electrode experiments. Compared to the unmodified catalyst, the N-modified sample had a higher initial electrochemical surface area, likely resulting from the ablation and redeposition of PtRu during the implantation process. Accelerated degradation test (ADT) results showed that nitrogen modification reduced surface area loss, helped to retain ruthenium, and improved methanol oxidation performance by nearly double. The benefits of nitrogen doping to improve state-of-the-art electrocatalysts combined with advantages of alkaline media improve the viability of widespread commercialization of direct methanol fuel cells.

The objective of this study was to investigate the treatment of gray water using biologically active granular-activated carbon (GAC) and complementary technologies. Technologies were challenged individually or in combination using a synthetic gray water formulation based on NSF/ANSI Standard 350. Specific technologies included: GAC; biologically active GAC (BAC); a newly developed intermittently operated BAC (IOBAC) process; ion exchange (IX); coagulation with a cationic polymer; microfiltration; ultrafiltration (UF); and multibarrier combinations thereof. For control of organic contaminants such as surfactants, BAC and IOBAC performed well over test periods as long as 6 months. Combinations of IOBAC treatment with coagulation pretreatment and UF post-treatment resulted in sustained chemical oxidant demand and turbidity value reductions in excess of 90 and 99.5%, respectively. Such an approach would be useful for gray water treatment for low tier applications like irrigation or toilet flushing, or as a pretreatment system upstream of reverse osmosis (RO) membranes and/or advanced oxidation processes for high tier reuse applications such as showering.

However, poor oxidation resistance of graphite-based materials at high temperature limits the use of graphite foam for these elevated temperature applications. Method to enhance oxidation resistance of graphite foams was investigated in this study. Chemical vapor reaction (CVR) approach was utilized for the coating of foams. Afterwards, the samples were analyzed using SEM/EDS. Furthermore, Xray diffraction was performed to verify the phases present in all of the coated samples. Oxidation resistance of uncoated graphite foam and SiC coated graphite foam were investigated by measuring weight changes with increasing exposure time at various elevated temperatures. Oxidation experiments were conducted under two conditions: flowing and static argon atmosphere in a furnace. After the experiments, weight loss rates (%/hour) were calculated. It was shown that SiC coating can significantly improve the oxidation resistance of the graphite foam under static argon atmosphere with both high vacuum and low vacuum conditions.

However, little is known about a fundamental relationship between the chemical composition of BrC and its optical properties. In this work, light-absorbing secondary organic aerosol (SOA) was generated in the PNNL chamber from toluene photo-oxidation in the presence of NOx (Tol-SOA). Molecular structures of BrC components were examined using nanospray desorption electrospray ionization (nano-DESI) and liquid chromatography (LC) combined with UV/Vis spectroscopy and electrospray ionization (ESI) high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). The chemical composition of BrC chromophores and the light absorption properties of toluene SOA (Tol-SOA) depend strongly on the initial NOx concentration. Specifically, Tol-SOA generated under high-NOx conditions (defined here as initial NOx/toluene of 5/1) appears yellow and mass absorption coefficient of the bulk sample (MAC(bulk)@365 nm = 0.78 m(2) g(-1)) is nearly 80 fold higher than that measured for the Tol-SOA sample generated under low-NOx conditions (NOx/toluene < 1/300). Fifteen compounds, most of which are nitrophenols, are identified as major BrC chromophores responsible for the enhanced light absorption of Tol-SOA material produced in the presence of NOx. The integrated absorbance of these fifteen chromophores accounts for 40-60% of the total light absorbance by Tol-SOA at wavelengths between 300 nm and 500 nm. The combination of tandem LC-UV/Vis-ESI/HRMS measurements provides an analytical platform for predictive understanding of light absorption properties by BrC and their relationship to the structure of individual chromophores. General trends in the UV/Vis absorption by plausible isomers of the BrC chromophores were evaluated using theoretical chemistry calculations. The molecular-level understanding of BrC chemistry is helpful for better understanding the evolution and behavior of light absorbing aerosols in the atmosphere.

We find that the polymer crystallite size decreases and the alignment of the molecules along the surface normal increases, as the thin-film thickness is reduced from 920 nm to <20 nm and approaches the thin-film confinement regime. Furthermore, we find that the polymer crystallite size near the surface (air interface) is lower than the crystallite size in the bulk or the bottom (substrate interface) of bulk heterojunction films thicker than the confinement regime. Variation in polymer crystallite size can cause changes in charge carrier mobility and recombination rates, which in turn affect the performance of bulk heterojunction thin film devices such as photovoltaics and photodetectors.

Isothermal uptake experiments were performed on vapor deposited ice at 227 K in the presence of the equilibrium water vapor pressure of 0.05 Torr and 2-propanol partial pressures ranging from 5 x 10(-5) to 2 x 10(-3) Torr. The C 1s APXPS spectra of adsorbed 2-propanol showed two characteristic peaks associated with the C-OH alcohol group and C-Me methyl groups in a 1 : 2 ratio, respectively. Coverage increased with 2-propanol partial pressure and followed first order Langmuir kinetics with a Langmuir constant of K = 6.3 x 10(3) Torr(-1). The 1 : 2 ratio of C-OH: C-Me remained constant with increasing coverage, indicating there is no chemical reaction upon adsorption. The observed Langmuir kinetics using APXPS is consistent with previous observations of other small chain alcohols via indirect adsorption methods using, e.g., Knudsen cell and coated wall flow tube reactors.

Although the widely used self-consistent field (SCF) iteration method can be extended to solve the minimization of the total energy functional with respect to orthogonality constraints, there is no theoretical guarantee on the convergence of these algorithms. In this paper, we consider an equivalent model with a single variable and a single spherical constraint by eliminating the dependence on the fractional occupancies. A proximal gradient method is developed by keeping the entropy term but linearizing all other terms in the total energy functional. Convergence to the stationary point is established. Numerical results using the MATLAB toolbox KSSOLV can outperform SCF consistently on many metallic systems.

The spectrum transmitted through the ARC is hence optimized for efficient use in the given cell structure and the solar cell performance can be improved. For a 2-mu m thick crystalline silicon heterojunction solar cell the optimal thickness of the Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) ARC is reduced by similar to 8 nm when IQE data and effective thickness are taken into account compared to the standard ARC optimization, using the AM1.5 spectrum only. The reduced ARC thickness will shift the reflectance minima towards shorter wavelengths and hence better match the absorption of very thin cells, where the short wavelength range of the spectrum is relatively more important than the long, weakly absorbed wavelengths. For this cell, we find that the optimal thickness of the ITO starts at 63 nm for very thin (1 pm) active Si layer and then increase with increasing Te until it saturates at 71 nm for T-e > 30 mu m.

Simulations show that adding a top junction with an energy bandgap of 1.6 -1.9 eV to a standard silicon solar cell enables efficiencies over 38%. Currently, top junctions of GaInP (1.8 eV) are the most promising as they can achieve 1-sun efficiencies of 20.8% [1]. We fabricated mechanically stacked, four terminal GaInP/Si tandem solar cells using a transparent adhesive between the subcells. These tandem devices achieved an efficiency of 27% under AM1.5g spectral conditions. Higher efficiencies can be achieved by using an improved Si-bottom cell and by optimizing the dual-junction device for long-wavelength light and luminescent coupling between the two junctions.

Due to its stability and disease potential, B. anthracis is a recognized biothreat agent and robust detection and viability methods are needed to identify spores from unknown samples. Here we report the use of smartphone-based microscopy (SPM) in combination with a simple microfluidic incubation device (MID) to detect 50 to 5000 B. anthracis Sterne spores in 3 to 5 hours. This technique relies on optical monitoring of the conversion of the similar to 1 mu m spores to the filamentous vegetative cells that range from tens to hundreds of micrometers in length. This distinguishing filament formation is unique to B. anthracis as compared to other members of the Bacillus cereus group. A unique feature of this approach is that the sample integrity is maintained, and the vegetative biomass can be removed from the chip for secondary molecular analysis such as PCR. Compared with existing chip-based and rapid viability PCR methods, this new approach reduces assay time by almost half, and is highly sensitive, specific, and cost effective.

During its five-year span, the consortium conducted more than 2,000 genome-wide assays in developmentally staged animals, dissected tissues, and homogeneous cell lines. Analysis of these data sets provided foundational insights into genome, epigenome, and transcriptome structure and the evolutionary turnover of regulatory pathways. These studies facilitated a comparative analysis with similar data types produced by the ENCODE Consortium for human cells. Genome organization differs drastically in these distant species, and yet quantitative relationships among chromatin state, transcription, and cotranscriptional RNA processing are deeply conserved. Of the many biological discoveries of the modENCODE Consortium, we highlight insights that emerged from integrative studies. We focus on operational and scientific lessons that may aid future projects of similar scale or aims in other, emerging model systems.

TI Comment on "Radiative forcings for 28 potential Archean greenhouse gases" by Byrne and Goldblatt (2014) SO CLIMATE OF THE PAST LA English DT Editorial Material ID MOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPIC DATABASE; DIODE-LASER MEASUREMENTS; SIDE-BAND SPECTROMETER; LINE POSITIONS; FOURIER-TRANSFORM; HYDROGEN-PEROXIDE; SPECTRAL REGION; NU(7) BAND; MU-M; INTENSITIES AB In the recent article by Byrne and Goldblatt, "Radiative forcing for 28 potential Archean greenhouse gases," Clim. Past. 10, 1779-1801 (2014), the authors employ the HITRAN2012 spectroscopic database to evaluate the radiative forcing of 28 Archean gases. As part of the evaluation of the status of the spectroscopy of these gases in the selected spectral region (50-1800 cm 1), the cross sections generated from the HITRAN line-by-line parameters were compared with those of the PNNL database of experimental cross sections recorded at moderate resolution. The authors claimed that for NO2, HNO3, H2CO, H2O2, HCOOH, C2H4, CH3OH and CH3Br there exist large or sometimes severe disagreements between the databases. In this work we show that for only three of these eight gases a modest discrepancy does exist between the two databases and we explain the origin of the differences. For the other five gases, the disagreements are not nearly at the scale suggested by the authors, while we explain some of the differences that do exist. In summary, the agreement between the HITRAN and PNNL databases is very good, although not perfect. Typically differences do not exceed 10 %, provided that HITRAN data exist for the bands/wavelengths of interest. It appears that a molecule-dependent combination of errors has affected the conclusions of the authors. In at least one case it appears that they did not take the correct file from PNNL (N2O4 (dimer) + NO2 was used in place of the monomer). Finally, cross sections of HO2 from HITRAN (which do not have a PNNL counterpart) were not calculated correctly in BG, while in the case of HF misleading discussion was presented there based on the confusion by foreign or noise features in the experimental PNNL spectra.

TI Changes in the firn structure of the western Greenland Ice Sheet caused by recent warming SO CRYOSPHERE LA English DT Article ID REGIONAL CLIMATE MODEL; PERCOLATION ZONE; MASS-LOSS; ACCUMULATION; RADAR; RECORDS; LAKES AB Atmospheric warming over the Greenland Ice Sheet during the last 2 decades has increased the amount of surface meltwater production, resulting in the migration of melt and percolation regimes to higher altitudes and an increase in the amount of ice content from refrozen meltwater found in the firn above the superimposed ice zone. Here we present field and airborne radar observations of buried ice layers within the near-surface (0-20 m) firn in western Greenland, obtained from campaigns between 1998 and 2014. We find a sharp increase in firn-ice content in the form of thick widespread layers in the percolation zone, which decreases the capacity of the firn to store meltwater. The estimated total annual ice content retained in the near-surface firn in areas with positive surface mass balance west of the ice divide in Greenland reached a maximum of 74 +/- 25 Gt in 2012, compared to the 1958-1999 average of 13 +/- 2 Gt, while the percolation zone area more than doubled between 2003 and 2012. Increased melt and column densification resulted in surface lowering averaging 0.80 +/- 0.39 myr(-1) between 1800 and 2800 m in the accumulation zone of western Greenland. Since 2007, modeled annual melt and refreezing rates in the percolation zone at elevations below 2100 m surpass the annual snowfall from the previous year, implying that mass gain in the region is retained after melt in the form of refrozen meltwater. If current melt trends over high elevation regions continue, subsequent changes in firn structure will have implications for the hydrology of the ice sheet and related abrupt seasonal densification could become increasingly significant for altimetry-derived ice sheet mass balance estimates.

TI Century-scale simulations of the response of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet to a warming climate SO CRYOSPHERE LA English DT Article ID PINE ISLAND GLACIER; GROUNDING-LINE MIGRATION; SURFACE MASS-BALANCE; WEDDELL SEA SECTOR; SHELF; FLOW; SENSITIVITY; MODELS; RETREAT; BED AB We use the BISICLES adaptive mesh ice sheet model to carry out one, two, and three century simulations of the fast-flowing ice streams of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, deploying sub-kilometer resolution around the grounding line since coarser resolution results in substantial underestimation of the response. Each of the simulations begins with a geometry and velocity close to present-day observations, and evolves according to variation in meteoric ice accumulation rates and oceanic ice shelf melt rates. Future changes in accumulation and melt rates range from no change, through anomalies computed by atmosphere and ocean models driven by the El and A1B emissions scenarios, to spatially uniform melt rate anomalies that remove most of the ice shelves over a few centuries. We find that variation in the resulting ice dynamics is dominated by the choice of initial conditions and ice shelf melt rate and mesh resolution, although ice accumulation affects the net change in volume above flotation to a similar degree. Given sufficient melt rates, we compute grounding line retreat over hundreds of kilometers in every major ice stream, but the ocean models do not predict such melt rates outside of the Amundsen Sea Embayment until after 2100. Within the Amundsen Sea Embayment the largest single source of variability is the onset of sustained retreat in Thwaites Glacier, which can triple the rate of eustatic sea level rise.

TI Retrieving the paleoclimatic signal from the deeper part of the EPICA Dome C ice core SO CRYOSPHERE LA English DT Article ID SUBGLACIAL LAKE VOSTOK; PAST 800,000 YEARS; BASAL ICE; CENTRAL GREENLAND; EAST ANTARCTICA; CLIMATE VARIABILITY; MILLENNIAL-SCALE; ANOMALOUS DIFFUSION; DEBRIS ENTRAINMENT; GAS-COMPOSITION AB An important share of paleoclimatic information is buried within the lowermost layers of deep ice cores. Because improving our records further back in time is one of the main challenges in the near future, it is essential to judge how deep these records remain unaltered, since the proximity of the bedrock is likely to interfere both with the recorded temporal sequence and the ice properties. In this paper, we present a multiparametric study (delta D-delta O-18(ice), delta O-18(atm), total air content, CO2, CH4, N2O, dust, high-resolution chemistry, ice texture) of the bottom 60 m of the EPICA (European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica) Dome C ice core from central Antarctica. These bottom layers were subdivided into two distinct facies: the lower 12 m showing visible solid inclusions (basal dispersed ice facies) and the upper 48 m, which we will refer to as the "basal clean ice facies". Some of the data are consistent with a pristine paleoclimatic signal, others show clear anomalies It is demonstrated that neither large-scale bottom refreezing of subglacial water, nor mixing (be it internal or with a local basal end term from a previous/initial ice sheet configuration) can explain the observed bottom-ice properties. We focus on the high-resolution chemical profiles and on the available remote sensing data on the subglacial topography of the site to propose a mechanism by which relative stretching of the bottom-ice sheet layers is made possible, due to the progressively confining effect of subglacial valley sides. This stress field change, combined with bottom-ice temperature close to the pressure melting point, induces accelerated migration recrystallization, which results in spatial chemical sorting of the impurities, depending on their state (dissolved vs. solid) and if they are involved or not in salt formation. This chemical sorting effect is responsible for the progressive build-up of the visible solid aggregates that therefore mainly originate "from within", and not from incorporation processes of debris from the ice sheet's substrate. We further discuss how the proposed mechanism is compatible with the other ice properties described. We conclude that the paleoclimatic signal is only marginally affected in terms of global ice properties at the bottom of EPICA Dome C, but that the timescale was considerably distorted by mechanical stretching of MIS20 due to the increasing influence of the subglacial topography, a process that might have started well above the bottom ice. A clear paleoclimatic signal can therefore not be inferred from the deeper part of the EPICA Dome C ice core. Our work suggests that the existence of a flat monotonic ice bedrock interface, extending for several times the ice thickness, would be a crucial factor in choosing a future "oldest ice" drilling location in Antarctica.

TI Negative thermal expansion and anomalies of heat capacity of LuB50 at low temperatures SO DALTON TRANSACTIONS LA English DT Article ID BORON-RICH COMPOUNDS; MAGNETIC-PROPERTIES; GLASSES; POTENTIALS; COMPOUND AB Heat capacity and thermal expansion of LuB50 boride were experimentally studied in the 2-300 K temperature range. The data reveal an anomalous contribution to the heat capacity at low temperatures. The value of this contribution is proportional to the first degree of temperature. It was identified that this anomaly in heat capacity is caused by the effect of disorder in the LuB50 crystalline structure and it can be described in the soft atomic potential model (SAP). The parameters of the approximation were determined. The temperature dependence of LuB50 heat capacity in the whole temperature range was approximated by the sum of SAP contribution, Debye and two Einstein components. The parameters of SAP contribution for LuB50 were compared to the corresponding values for LuB66, which was studied earlier. Negative thermal expansion at low temperatures was experimentally observed for LuB50. The analysis of the experimental temperature dependence for the Gruneisen parameter of LuB50 suggested that the low-frequency oscillations, described in SAP mode, are responsible for the negative thermal expansion. Thus, the glasslike character of the behavior of LuB50 thermal characteristics at low temperatures was confirmed. C1 [Novikov, V. V.; Zhemoedov, N. A.; Matovnikov, A. V.; Mitroshenkov, N.

The unusual oxazolinecoordinated silylene structure in 2 is proposed to form by rearrangement of an unobserved isomeric cationic rhodium silylene species [{PhB(Ox(Me2))(2)Im(Mes)}RhH(SiH2Ph)CO][HB(C6F5)(3)] generated by H abstraction. Complex 2 catalyzes reductions of organic carbonyl compounds with silanes to give hydrosilylation products or deoxygenation products. The pathway to these reactions is primarily influenced by the degree of substitution of the organosilane. Reactions with primary silanes give deoxygenation of esters to ethers, amides to amines, and ketones and aldehydes to hydrocarbons, whereas tertiary silanes react to give 1,2-hydrosilylation of the carbonyl functionality. In contrast, the strong Lewis acid B(C6F5)(3) catalyzes the complete deoxygenation of carbonyl compounds to hydrocarbons with PhSiH3 as the reducing agent.

Examples of advances in refractory materials related to aluminum, gasification, glass, and lime are highlighted. Energy savings are realized based on reduction of chemical reactions, elimination of mechanical degradation caused by the service environment, reduction of temperature limitations of materials, and elimination of costly installation and repair needs. Key results of projects resulting from US Department of Energy (DOE) funded research programs are discussed with emphasis on applicability of these results to high temperature furnace applications and needed research directions for the future.

However, because the pretreatment process results in a high moisture material unsuitable for pelleting or storage (40% wet basis), the biomass must be immediately dried. If AFEX pretreatment results in a material that is difficult to dry, the economics of this already costly operation would be at risk. This work tests the nature of moisture sorption isotherms and thin-layer drying behavior of corn (Zea mays L.) stover at 20 degrees C to 60 degrees C before and after sequential AFEX pretreatment and pelletization to determine whether any negative impacts to material drying or storage may result from the AFEX process. The equilibrium moisture content to equilibrium relative humidity relationship for each of the materials was determined using dynamic vapor sorption isotherms and modeled with modified Chung-Pfost, modified Halsey, and modified Henderson temperature-dependent models as well as the Double Log Polynomial (DLP), Peleg, and Guggenheim Anderson de Boer (GAB) temperature-independent models. Drying kinetics were quantified under thin-layer laboratory testing and modeled using the Modified Page's equation. Water activity isotherms for non-pelleted biomass were best modeled with the Peleg temperature-independent equation while isotherms for the pelleted biomass were best modeled with the Double Log Polynomial equation. Thin-layer drying results were accurately modeled with the Modified Page's equation. The results of this work indicate that AFEX pretreatment results in drying properties more favorable than or equal to that of raw corn stover, and pellets of superior physical stability in storage.

Using Au-58 as an example, we found a new putative global minimum which has a core-shell structure of Au-10@Au-48 and C-4 symmetry. This new structure of Au-58 is 0.24 eV per formula more stable than the best previous model that has C-1 symmetry. This work demonstrates that neural network potentials combined with the basin-hopping method could be very useful in global minimization for medium-sized metal clusters which might be computationally prohibitive for first principles density functional theory.

A model assuming the presence of energetically deep charge traps physically aligned along the direction of the permanent dipole is proposed in order to explain the dynamics of nanocrystal blinking in the presence of a permanent dipole moment.

TI Progress towards high-power Li/CFx batteries: electrode architectures using carbon nanotubes with CFx SO PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY CHEMICAL PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID FLUORINE-INTERCALATED GRAPHITE; PRIMARY LITHIUM BATTERIES; DISCHARGE REACTION; ELECTROCHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS; POLY(DICARBON MONOFLUORIDE); ELECTRICAL-PROPERTIES; ROOM-TEMPERATURE; ENERGY DENSITY; HEALTH-CARE; DISPERSION AB Carbon monofluoride (CFx) has a high energy density, exceeding 2000 W h kg(-1), yet its application in primary lithium batteries is limited by its power capability. Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs dagger) are appealing additives for high-power batteries, due to their outstanding electronic transport properties, high aspect ratio necessitating low volume fraction for percolation, and high tensile strength. This perspective describes the current state of the art in lithium-carbon monofluoride (Li/CFx) batteries and highlights the opportunities for the development of high-power Li/CFx batteries via utilization of carbon nanotubes. In this report, we generated several electrode architectures using CFx/CNT combinations, and demonstrated the effectiveness of CNTs in enhancing the rate capability and energy density of Li/CFx batteries. First, we investigated the resistivity of CFx combined with CNTs and compared the CFx/CNT composites with conventional carbon additives. Second, we built CFx-CNT electrodes without metallic current collectors using CNTs as substrates, and compared their electrochemical performance with conventional CFx electrodes using aluminum foil as a current collector. Furthermore, we fabricated multi-layered CNT-CFx-CNT composite electrodes (sandwich electrodes) and studied the impact of the structure on the performance of the electrode. Our work demonstrates some of the opportunities for utilization of CNTs in CFx electrodes and the resultant implementation of CFx as a battery cathode in next-generation high-power batteries.

We determine the dependence on pre-existing defect concentration of nanoscale track formation occurring from the synergy between the inelastic energy loss and the pre-existing atomic defects. We show that the size of nanoscale ion tracks can be controlled by the concentration of pre-existing disorder. This work identifies a major gap in fundamental understanding on the role of defects in electronic energy dissipation and electron-lattice coupling.

During absorption/desorption cycles, lithium-rich zirconates will be consumed and will not be regenerated.

This advantage derives from the fact that PRESTO circumvents the convoluted and uncooperative spin dynamics during the CP transfer under MAS, by replacing the spin-locking of quadrupolar nuclei with a single central transition selective 901 pulse and using a symmetry-based recoupling sequence in the H-1 channel. This is of particular importance in the context of dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) NMR of quadrupolar nuclei, where the efficient transfer of enhanced H-1 polarization is desired to obtain the highest sensitivity.

The solubility diagrams and Gibbs adsorption isotherms of the electropolishing products are thus very important to understand the thermodynamic mechanism of precipitation of reaction products. Electropolishing of tungsten wires in aqueous solutions of potassium hydroxide is used as an example illustrating the different thermodynamic scenarios of electropolishing. Electropolishing products are able to form highly viscous films immiscible with the surrounding electrolyte or porous shells adhered to the wire surface. Using X-ray nanotomography, we discovered a gel-like phase formed at the tungsten surface during electropolishing. The results of these studies suggest that the electropolishing products can form a rich library of compounds. The surface tension of the electrolyte depends on the metal oxide ions and alkali-metal complexes.

In this work, Shrinky-Dink thermoplastic sheets are used to create multilayered complex templates for microfluidic channels. We used inkjet and laserjet printers to raise a predetermined microchannel geometry by depositing several layers of ink for each feature consecutively. We achieved feature heights over 100 mu m, which were measured and compared with surface profilometry. Templates closest to the target geometry were then used to create microfluidic devices from soft-lithography with the molds as a template. These microfluidic devices were in turn used to fabricate polymer microfibers using the microfluidic focusing approach to demonstrate the potential that this process has for microfluidic applications. Finally, an economic analysis was conducted to compare the price of common microfluidic template manufacturing methods. We showed that multilayer microchannels can be created significantly quicker and cheaper than current methods for design prototyping and point-of-care applications in the biomedical area.

Easy and fast identification of these minerals in their bulk state is possible by using either Raman, infrared, optical, or photoluminescence spectroscopy. Simple density functional theory vibrational modeling is presented to identify the main vibrational lines.

This analysis extends the results in [T. Blass and L. A. Romero, SIAM J. Control Optim., 51 (2013), pp. 1099-1127], where, under the assumption that the stochastic excitation is small, the stability of such systems was computed using a weighted sum of the extended power spectral density over the eigenvalues of the unperturbed operator. In this paper, we show how to convert this sum to a sum over the residues of the extended power spectral density. For systems where the parametric forcing term is a rank one matrix, this approach leads to an enormous simplification. We give two examples of systems with rank one forcing, including the problem of stochastically forced Faraday waves. C1 [Blass, T. J.] Univ Calif Riverside, Dept Math, Riverside, CA 92521 USA.

These fields are comprised of two orthogonal ac components whose frequencies form a rational number and an orthogonal dc field that breaks the symmetry of the biaxial ac field to create the parity required to induce deterministic vorticity. The second method is based on rational triads, which are fields comprised of three orthogonal ac components whose frequency ratios are rational (e.g., 1 : 2 : 3). For each method a symmetry theory has been developed that enables the prediction of the direction and sign of vorticity as functions of the field frequencies and phases. However, this theory has its limitations. It only applies to those particular phase angles that give rise to fields whose Lissajous plots, or principal 2-d projections thereof, have a high degree of symmetry. Nor can symmetry theory provide a measure of the magnitude of the torque density induced by the field. In this paper a functional of the multiaxial magnetic field is proposed that not only is consistent with all of the predictions of the symmetry theories, but also quantifies the torque density. This functional can be applied to fields whose Lissajous plots lack symmetry and can thus be used to predict a variety of effects and trends that cannot be predicted from the symmetry theories. These trends include the dependence of the magnitude of the torque density on the various frequency ratios, the unexpected reversal of flow with increasing dc field amplitude for certain symmetry-breaking fields, and the existence of off-axis vorticity for rational triads, such as 1 : 3 : 5, that do not have the symmetry required to analyze by symmetry theory. Experimental data are given that show the degree to which this functional is successful in predicting observed trends.

TI Strain-Dependence of the Structure and Ferroic Properties of Epitaxial NiTiO3 Thin Films Grown on Different Substrates SO ADVANCES IN CONDENSED MATTER PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID PHASE-TRANSITION; LITHIUM-NIOBATE; ILMENITE; FERROELECTRICITY; HETEROSTRUCTURES; DIFFRACTION; LINBO3; FETIO3 AB Polarization-induced weak ferromagnetism has been predicted a few years back in perovskite MTiO3 (M = Fe, Mn, and Ni). We set out to stabilize this metastable perovskite structure by growing NiTiO3 epitaxially on different substrates and to investigate the dependence of polar and magnetic properties on strain. Epitaxial NiTiO3 films were deposited on Al2O3, Fe2O3, and LiNbO3 substrates by pulsed laser deposition and characterized using several techniques. The effect of substrate choice on lattice strain, film structure, and physical properties was investigated. Our structural data from X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy shows that substrate-induced strain has a marked effect on the structure and crystalline quality of the films. Physical property measurements reveal a dependence of the weak ferromagnetism and lattice polarization on strain and highlight our ability to control the ferroic properties in NiTiO3 thin films by the choice of substrate. Our results are also consistent with the theoretical prediction that the ferromagnetism in acentric NiTiO3 is polarization induced. From the substrates studied here, the perovskite substrate LiNbO3 proved to be the most promising one for strong multiferroism.

Analysis of the rotational dynamics of particles adds a new dimension of information that is otherwise impossible to obtain with conventional 3-D particle tracking. In this review, we survey recent advances in single-particle rotational tracking, with highlights on the rotational tracking of optically anisotropic Janus particles. Strengths and weaknesses of the various particle tracking methods, and their applications are discussed. C1 [Anthony, S. M.] Sandia Natl Labs, Albuquerque, NM 87123 USA.

Consequently, understanding the mechanical performance of UNF rods under cumulative loading stemming from handling, normal conditions of transport (NCT), and normal conditions of storage (NCS) is necessary as their performance under these conditions establishes part of their safety basis. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) commissioned a multi-laboratory team consisting of subject matter experts at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Idaho National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory to develop a methodology to examine the structural performance and potential for failure of UNF under NCT and to perform a demonstration of this methodology for a typical UNF transportation campaign. This team prepared a Research, Development, and Demonstration (RD&D) Plan that describes a methodology, including development and use of analytical models, to evaluate loading and associated mechanical responses of UNF rods and key structural components during NCT. The initial scope of this plan has now been fully executed. The demonstration of the methodology laid out in the RD&D plan is focused on structural performance evaluation of Westinghouse Electric 17x17 OFA pressurized water reactor fuel assemblies with a discharge burnup range of 30-58 GWd/MTU (assembly average), loaded in a representative high-capacity (>= 32 fuel rod assemblies) transportation package and transported on a 3000 mile rail journey. In general, the modeling and simulation approach consists of three levels; the cask level, the fuel assembly level, and the fuel rod level. This modeling approach utilized finite element analysis sub-modeling techniques to accurately model the complete spent nuclear fuel transport system on the railcar (cask restraint structure, cask, basket, assembly, and fuel rods). The sub-modeling approach allows for more detailed finite element models of individual system components, faster analysis run times for the individual sub-models, and flexibility when updating or modifying the sub-models to incorporate better excitation data, initial material properties, or other pertinent information. The final results of the initial demonstration are that cladding strains were not large enough to cause structural failure, but cyclic strains roughly projected for the entire route were significant in some cases. The number of cycles that the model hits certain strain "bins" are counted. These are extrapolated for a 3000 mile trip and the damage ratio is calculated which is the number of cycles the fuel rods hit certain strain bins over the 3000 mile journey divided by the number of cycles to failure. Under the final model and set of inputs, the total damage from summation of the worst shock and vibration cases is similar to 18% of the expected fatigue limit. Therefore the fuel rods are not expected to fail during NCT given the assumptions listed. Additionally, a number of sensitivity studies were performed. It was found that the areas of highest sensitivity were the cladding elastic modulus, the spacer grid stiffness, the spacer grid location, and gaps between the assembly and the cask; these findings can be used to guide future work.

The double-notched shear test showed higher stress concentration at the notch roots and a lower apparent shear strength. Both asymmetrical four point bend test and Iosipescu test utilized epoxy joined metal extensors, which failed during test and caused misalignment and tensile stress failures. The torsion test can deliver valid, single mode shear loading. However, failure in the SiC base material was observed for the torsion joint specimens in this study. None of the tests reliably induced true shear failure of the Ti3SiC2 MAX phase joint, because the joint is stronger and tougher than the SiC substrate. Torsion tests appear to be the most promising because of the pure shear loading, relatively low stress concentration, and easy alignment.

It was found that defects in the bonded zone were effectively mitigated by reducing oxygen activity during hot-pressing. Robust Mo foil-bonded SiC appeared to normally fail at both the joint interface and SiC base in shear test by compression loading of double-notched specimens. Apparent shear strength of similar to 150 MPa was demonstrated by torsional test for both Mo foil-joined SiC with a layered structure of Mo4.8Si3C0.6 and Mo2C phases and Ti foil-jointed SiC with mixed structure of Ti3SiC2 and TiCx phases.

P- and S-containing acid groups were introduced by postsynthetic functionalization before the addition of 1% Ru by incipient wetness impregnation. These functionalities and the reaction conditions mediate the activity and selectivity of the levulinic acid hydrogenation. The presence of S-containing groups (Ru/OMC-S and Ru/OMC-P/S) deactivates the Ru catalysts strongly, whereas the presence of P-containing groups (Ru/OMC-P) enhances the activity compared to that of pristine Ru/OMC. Under mild conditions (70 degrees C and 7 bar H-2) the catalyst shows high selectivity to gamma-valerolactone (GVL; > 95%) and high stability on recycling. However, under more severe conditions (200 degrees C and p(H2) = 40 bar) Ru/OMC-P is particularly able to promote GVL ring-opening and the consecutive hydrogenation to pentanoic acid.

In this work, layered Li-rich Li[Li0.2Ni0.17Co0.07Mn0.56]O-2 nanoparticles are surface-modified with AlF3 through a facile chemical deposition method. The AlF3 surface layers have little impact on the structure of the material and act as buffers to prevent the direct contact of the electrode with the electrolyte; thus, they enhance the electrochemical performance significantly. The 3 wt% AlF3-coated Li-rich electrode exhibits the best cycling capability and has a considerably enhanced capacity retention of 83.1% after 50 cycles. Moreover, the rate performance and thermal stability of the 3 wt% AlF3-coated electrode are also clearly improved. Surface analysis indicates that the AlF3 coating layer can largely suppress the undesirable growth of solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) film and, therefore, stabilizes the structure upon cycling.

Herein, we integrate LCA into our investigations of a new route to produce drop-in diesel/jet fuel by combining furfural, obtained from the catalytic dehydration of lignocellulosic pentose sugars, with alcohols that can be derived from a variety of bio- or petroleum-based feedstocks. As a key innovation, we developed recyclable transition-metal-free hydrotalcite catalysts to promote the dehydrogenative cross-coupling reaction of furfural and alcohols to give high molecular weight adducts via a transfer hydrogenation- aldol condensation pathway. Subsequent hydrodeoxygenation of adducts over Pt/NbOPO4 yields alkanes. Implemented in a Brazilian sugarcane biorefinery such a process could result in a 53-79% reduction in life-cycle GHG emissions relative to conventional petroleum fuels and provide a sustainable source of low carbon diesel/jet fuel.

The recently developed adaptive local basis functions form an accurate and systematically improvable basis set for solving Kohn-Sham density functional theory using discontinuous Galerkin methods, requiring a small number of basis functions per atom. In this paper, we develop residual-based, a posteriori error estimates for the adaptive local basis approach, which can be used to guide non-uniform basis refinement for highly inhomogeneous systems such as surfaces and large molecules. The adaptive local basis functions are non-polynomial basis functions, and standard a posteriori error estimates for hp-refinement using polynomial basis functions do not directly apply. We generalize the error estimates for hp-refinement to non-polynomial basis functions. We demonstrate the practical use of the a posteriori error estimator in performing three-dimensional Kohn-Sham density functional theory calculations for quasi-2D aluminum surfaces and a single-layer graphene oxide system in water.

TI A comprehensive view of global potential for hydro-generated electricity SO ENERGY & ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE LA English DT Review ID CLIMATE-CHANGE; INTEGRATED ASSESSMENT; RENEWABLE ENERGY; TRANSPORTATION; NIGHTLIGHTS; RESOURCES; FRAMEWORK; IMPACTS; LEVEL; MODEL AB In this study, we assess global hydropower potential using runoff and stream flow data, along with turbine technology performance, cost assumptions, and consideration of protected areas. The results provide the first comprehensive quantification of global hydropower potential including gross, technical, economic, and exploitable estimates. Total global potential of gross, technical, economic, and exploitable hydropower are estimated to be approximately 128, 26, 21, and 16 petawatt hours per year, respectively. The economic and exploitable potential of hydropower are calculated at less than 9 cents per kW h. We find that hydropower has the potential to supply a significant portion of world energy needs, although this potential varies substantially by region. Globally, exploitable hydropower potential is comparable to total electricity demand in 2005. Hydropower plays different roles in each country owing to regional variation in potential relative to electricity demand. In some countries such as the Congo, there is sufficient hydropower potential (410 times) to meet all electricity demands, while in other countries such as United Kingdom, hydropower potential can only accommodate a small portion (<3%) of total demand. A sensitivity analysis indicates that hydropower estimates are sensitive to a number of parameters: design flow (varying by -10% to + 0% at less than 9 cents per kW h), cost assumptions (by -35% to +12%), turbine efficiency (by -40% to +20%), stream flow (by -35% to +35%), fixed charge rate (by -15% to 10%), and protected land (by -15% to 20%). This sensitivity analysis emphasizes the reliable role of hydropower for future energy systems, when compared to other renewable energy resources with larger uncertainty in their future potentials.

TI Lignin monomer production integrated into the gamma-valerolactone sugar platform SO ENERGY & ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID LIGNOCELLULOSIC BIOMASS; PROCESS DESIGN; ACETIC-ACID; WOOD; HYDROLYSIS; CONVERSION; CATALYSTS; DEPOLYMERIZATION; MONOSACCHARIDES; HYDROGENOLYSIS AB We demonstrate an experimental approach for upgrading lignin that has been isolated from corn stover via biomass fractionation using c-valerolactone (GVL) as a solvent. This GVL-based approach can be used in parallel with lignin upgrading to produce soluble carbohydrates at high yields (>= 70%) from biomass without the use of enzymes, ionic liquids, or concentrated acids. The lignin was isolated after an initial hydrolysis step in which corn stover was treated in a high-solids batch reactor at 393 K for 30 min in a solvent mixture consisting of 80 wt% GVL and 20 wt% water. Lignin was isolated by precipitation in water and characterized by 2D HSQC NMR, showing that the extracted lignin was similar to native lignin, which can be attributed to the low acid level and the low extraction temperatures that are achievable using GVL as a solvent. This lignin was upgraded using a two-stage hydrogenolysis process over a Ru/C catalyst. The isolated lignin was first dissolved to form a mixture of 10% lignin, 80% THF, 8.5% H3PO4 and 1.5% H2O, and treated at 423 K under hydrogen. The THF was removed by evaporation and replaced with heptane, forming a biphasic mixture. This mixture was then treated at 523 K in the presence of Ru/C and H-2. The resulting heptane phase contained soluble lignin-derived monomers corresponding to 38% of the carbon in the original lignin. By adding 5% methanol during the second catalytic step, we produced additional monomers containing methyl esters and increased carbon yields to 48%. This increase in yield can be attributed to stabilization of carboxylic acid intermediates by esterification. The yield reported here is comparable to yields obtained with native lignin and is much higher than yields obtained with lignin isolated by other processes. These results suggest that GVL-based biomass fractionation could facilitate the integrated conversion of all three biomass fractions.

Most of the layered A(x)MO(2) (A = alkali ions, M = transition metals) are composed of MO6 octahedra and various A coordination polyhedra such as octahedra (O), tetrahedra (T) or trigonal prisms (P). Herein, we report a new layered oxide material, anti-P2 Na0.5NbO2, which is composed of NbO6 trigonal prisms and NaO6 octahedra. Its lattice shrinks as sodium (Na) ions are intercalated in it and expands when the ions are deintercalated (a negative volume or strain effect). Analysis by X-ray absorption spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicates that the negative volume effect is mainly a result of the enhanced interlayer (Na-O) interaction and the weakened Nb-Nb and Nb-O bonding in the O-Nb-O slab upon Na intercalation. Moreover, Na0.5NbO2 exhibits high structural stability, a long cycle life and prominent rate performance for Na-ion batteries. These distinctive features make Na0.5NbO2 an ideal "volume buffer" to compensate for positive-strain electrode materials. These findings will arouse great interest in anti-P2 layered oxides for materials science and applications, and enrich the understanding of novel negative-strain materials for energy storage either as excellent independent active electrode materials or as volume buffers for constructing long-life composite electrodes made of positive-strain materials.

TI An electrochemical engineering assessment of the operational conditions and constraints for solar-driven water-splitting systems at near-neutral pH SO ENERGY & ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID INTEGRATED PHOTOELECTROLYSIS SYSTEM; EARTH-ABUNDANT CATALYSTS; HYDROGEN-PRODUCTION; POLYMER ELECTROLYTE; OXYGEN EVOLUTION; THIN-FILM; EFFICIENCY; PERFORMANCE; DESIGN; PHOTOLYSIS AB The solution transport losses in a one-dimensional solar-driven water-splitting cell that operates in either concentrated acid, dilute acid, or buffered near-neutral pH electrolytes have been evaluated using a mathematical model that accounts for diffusion, migration and convective transport, as well as for bulk electrochemical reactions in the electrolyte. The Ohmic resistance loss, the Nernstian potential loss associated with pH gradients at the surface of the electrode, and electrodialysis in different electrolytes were assessed quantitatively in a stagnant cell as well as in a bubble-convected cell, in which convective mixing occurred due to product-gas evolution. In a stagnant cell that did not have convective mixing, small limiting current densities (<3 mA cm(-2)) and significant polarization losses derived from pH gradients were present in dilute acid as well as in near-neutral pH buffered electrolytes. In contrast, bubble-convected cells exhibited a significant increase in the limiting current density, and a significant reduction of the concentration overpotentials. In a bubble-convected cell, minimal solution transport losses were present in membrane-free cells, in either buffered electrolytes or in unbuffered solutions with pH <= 1. However, membrane-free cells lack a mechanism for product-gas separation, presenting significant practical and engineering impediments to the deployment of such systems. To produce an intrinsically safe cell, an ion-exchange membrane was incorporated into the cell. The accompanying solution losses, especially the pH gradients at the electrode surfaces, were modeled and simulated for such a system. Hence this work describes the general conditions under which intrinsically safe, efficient solar-driven water-splitting cells can be operated.

Simply having more compute platforms does not provide a means of addressing challenging problems in the big data era. Rather, alternative processing approaches are needed and the application of machine learning to big data is hugely important. The MapReduce programming paradigm is an alternative to conventional supercomputing approaches, and requires less stringent data passing constrained problem decompositions. Rather, MapReduce relies upon defining a means of partitioning the desired problem so that subsets may be computed independently and recombined to yield the net desired result. However, not all machine learning algorithms are amenable to such an approach. Game-theoretic algorithms are often innately distributed, consisting of local interactions between players without requiring a central authority and are iterative by nature rather than requiring extensive retraining. Effectively, a game-theoretic approach to machine learning is well suited for the MapReduce paradigm and provides a novel, alternative new perspective to addressing the big data problem. In this paper we present a variant of our Support Vector Machine (SVM) Game classifier which may be used in a distributed manner, and show an illustrative example of applying this algorithm.

Using in situ energy dispersive X-ray diffraction (EDXRD) of an intact battery, the location and distribution of silver metal nanoparticles generated upon reduction-displacement deposition within an Ag2VP2O8 cathode containing a pre-existing percolation network can be observed for the first time. This study yielded unexpected results where higher rate initial discharge generated a more effective conductive matrix. This stands in contrast to cells with cathodes with no conductive additive where a low rate initial discharge proved more effective. These results provide evidence that using conductive additives in conjunction with an in situ reduction-displacement deposition of silver metal provides a path toward the ultimate goal of complete electrical contact and full utilization of all electroactive particles.

TI WO3 based solid solution oxide - promising proton exchange membrane fuel cell anode electro-catalyst SO JOURNAL OF MATERIALS CHEMISTRY A LA English DT Article ID TOTAL-ENERGY CALCULATIONS; WAVE BASIS-SET; HYDROGEN OXIDATION; CO-TOLERANCE; WATER ELECTROLYSIS; HIGH-PERFORMANCE; ELECTROCATALYSTS; METHANOL; ELECTROOXIDATION; MO AB There is a vital need to develop novel non-noble metals based electro-catalyst or reduced noble metal containing electro-catalyst with excellent electrochemical activity and stability fostering economic commercialization of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). It is hence of paramount importance to identify and generate reduced noble metal containing electro-catalyst with high electrochemical active surface area, offering noble metal loadings in the ultra-low levels thus reducing the overall capital cost of PEMFCs. Using theoretical first principles d-band center calculations of tungsten trioxide (WO3) based electro-catalysts containing IrO2 as a solute for hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR), we have identified, synthesized and experimentally demonstrated a highly active nanostructured (W1-xIrx)O-y (x = 0.2, 0.3; y = 2.7-2.8) electro-catalyst for HOR. Furthermore, experimental studies validate superior electrochemical activity of nanostructured (W0.7Ir0.3)O-y for HOR exhibiting improved/comparable stability/durability contrasted to pure WO3 nanoparticles (WO3-NPs), IrO2 nanoparticles (IrO2-NPs) as well as state of the art commercial 40% Pt/C system. Optimized composition of (W0.7Ir0.3)O-y was identified exhibiting similar to 33% higher and almost similar electro-catalytic activity for HOR compared to IrO2-NPs and commercial 40% Pt/C catalyst, respectively. Additionally, (W0.7Ir0.3)O-y showed significant enhancement in electrochemical activity for HOR compared to pure WO3-NPs. Long-term life cycle test of (W0.7Ir0.3)O-y for 24 h also showed comparable electrochemical stability/durability compared to that of 40% Pt/C and pure WO3-NPs. The results of half and full cell electrochemical characterization bode well with the theoretical first principles studies demonstrating the promise of the WO3 based solid solution electro-catalyst.

The catalyst is produced by heating an earth-abundant and low-cost mixture of ammonium tungstate, soybean powder and graphene nanoplatelets (WSoyGnP). The catalyst compound consists of tungsten carbide (W2C and WC) and tungsten nitride (WN) nanoparticles decorated on graphene nanoplatelets. The catalyst demonstrates an overpotential (eta(10), the potential at a current density of 10 mA cm(-2)) of 0.105 V, which is the smallest among tungsten-based HER catalysts in acidic media. The coupling with graphene significantly reduces the charge transfer resistance and increases the active surface area of the product, which are favorable for enhancing the HER activity. Therefore, the approach of employing biomass and other less expensive materials as precursors for the production of catalysts with high HER activity provides a new path for the design and development of efficient catalysts for the hydrogen production industry.

This strategy has achieved great success largely due to expanded spectral response range and improved power conversion efficiency (PCE) without incurring excessive processing costs. Here, we report ternary blend polymer-polymer solar cells comprised of PTB7, P3HT, and PC71BM with PCE as high as 8.2%. Analyses of femtosecond time resolved photoluminescence and transient absorption spectroscopy data confirm that P3HT is effective in transferring energy non-radiatively by inducing excitons and prolonging their overall lifetime in PTB7. Furthermore, solvent vapor annealing (SVA) treatment was employed to rectify the overly-coarse morphology, thus enhancing the fill factor, reducing interfacial recombination, and boosting the PCE to 8.7%.

TI Controlling crystallization to improve charge mobilities in transistors based on 2,7-dioctyl-[1]benzothieno[3,2-b][1]benzothiophene SO JOURNAL OF MATERIALS CHEMISTRY C LA English DT Article ID FIELD-EFFECT TRANSISTORS; THIN-FILM TRANSISTORS; ORGANIC SINGLE-CRYSTALS; HIGH-PERFORMANCE; CARRIER MOBILITY; TRANSPORT; SEMICONDUCTORS; MICROSTRUCTURE; DERIVATIVES; DOMAINS AB Long-range order at multiple length scales in small molecule semiconductors is critical to achieve effective electrical charge transport. As a consequence, processing strategies are often important for the fabrication of high-performance devices, such as thin-film transistors. We demonstrate that melting followed by quenching at a fixed temperature can obviate prior processing, control the crystallization process, and lead to enhanced charge mobilities in thin-film transistors based on 2,7-dioctyl-[1] benzothieno[3,2-b][1] benzothiophene active layers. Melting followed by quenching to 80 degrees C yields films with higher degrees of orientational order, and therefore charge mobilities in devices that are higher by a factor of five over films annealed at the same temperature directly after film casting.

Synchrotron X-ray assisted scanning tunneling microscopy (SX-STM) is a promising new technique to achieve real space chemically specific atomic mapping. Chemical sensitivity of SX-STM relies on excitation of core electrons by incident X-rays when their energy is tuned to an absorption edge of a particular element. However, along with core-level electrons, photoelectrons are also excited, which yield additional current and interfere with the tunneling current. To reduce the background photoelectron current and to improve ultimate resolution of SX-STM, we have developed and fabricated multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) based "smart tips" using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition and focused ion beam milling. The newly developed CNT-based smart tips, characterized step by step by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) during the fabrication process, demonstrate good performance and provide opportunity for realizing atomic chemical mapping.

However, it is a great challenge to determine the structures of Si NCs for accurate property calculation due to the complication and competition of various structural motifs. In this work, a Si-172 NC with a size of about 1.8 nm was investigated using a genetic algorithm combined with tight-binding and DFT calculations. We found that a diamond crystalline core with 50 atoms (1.2 nm) was formed in the Si-172 NC. It can be expected that at a size of about 172 atoms, a diamond crystalline structure can nucleate from the center of the Si NCs. The optical properties of the pure and hydrogenated Si-172 NC structures also have been studied using the TDDFT method. Compared with the pure Si-172 NC, the absorption peaks of the hydrogenated Si-172 NC are obviously blue-shifted.

It is shown that two recent nonlinear evolution equations describing wave propagation in certain generalized continua with an inherent material length scale are members of the proposed hierarchy. Like KdV, the equations from the proposed hierarchy possess Hamiltonian structure. Unlike KdV, however, the solutions to these equations can be compact (i.e., they vanish outside of some open interval) and, in addition, peaked. Implicit solutions for these peaked, compact traveling waves ("peakompactons") are presented. C1 [Christov, Ivan C.] Los Alamos Natl Lab, Div Theoret, Los Alamos, NM 87545 USA.

We used mesoscale simulations to examine grain growth in three-dimensional polycrystals containing stable, inert particles located at grain boundaries. In the absence of pinning particles, only normal grain growth occurs. When particles are present, some normal grain growth occurs, until a Zener-Smith pinned state is achieved. However, after a long incubation time, a few grains can thermally fluctuate away from their particle clouds and grow abnormally. The abnormal events are rare and stochastic. The abnormal grains are always among the largest initial grains, but most of the largest initial grains do not grow abnormally. C1 [Holm, E. A.] Sandia Natl Labs, Albuquerque, NM 87185 USA.

TI Computational Investigation of the Electronic and Optical Properties of Planar Ga-Doped Graphene SO ADVANCES IN CONDENSED MATTER PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID MONOLAYER GRAPHENE; DIRAC FERMIONS AB We simulate the optical and electrical responses in gallium-doped graphene. Using density functional theory with a local density approximation, we simulate the electronic band structure and show the effects of impurity doping (0-3.91%) in graphene on the electron density, refractive index, optical conductivity, and extinction coefficient for each doping percentage. Here, gallium atoms are placed randomly (using a 5-point average) throughout a 128-atom sheet of graphene. These calculations demonstrate the effects of hole doping due to direct atomic substitution, where it is found that a disruption in the electronic structure and electron density for small doping levels is due to impurity scattering of the electrons. However, the system continues to produce metallic or semimetallic behavior with increasing doping levels. These calculations are compared to a purely theoretical 100% Ga sheet for comparison of conductivity. Furthermore, we examine the change in the electronic band structure, where the introduction of gallium electronic bands produces a shift in the electron bands and dissolves the characteristic Dirac cone within graphene, which leads to better electron mobility.

Here, viral and host parameters were compared in three groups of patients treated with daily intravenous silibinin (SIL) monotherapy for 7 days according to the severity of their liver disease. Methods: Data were obtained from 25 patients, 12 non-cirrhotic, 8 with compensated cirrhosis and 5 with decompensated cirrhosis. The standard-biphasic model with time-varying SIL effectiveness (from 0 to final effectiveness [epsilon(max)]) was fitted to viral kinetic data. Results: Baseline viral load and age were significantly associated with the severity of liver disease (P<0.0001). A biphasic viral decline was observed in most patients with a higher first phase decline in patients with less severe liver disease. The epsilon(max) was significantly (P <= 0.032) associated with increasing severity of liver disease (non-cirrhotic epsilon(max) [se]=0.86 [0.05], compensated cirrhotic epsilon(max) = 0.69 [0.06] and decompensated cirrhotic epsilon(max) = 0.59 [0.1]). The second phase decline slope was not significantly different among groups (mean 1.88 +/- 0.15 log(10) IU/ml/week, P=0.75) as was the rate of change of SIL effectiveness (k=2.12/day [se=0.18/day]). HCV-infected cell loss rate (delta [se]= 0.62/day [0.05/day]) was high and similar among groups. Conclusions: The high loss rate of HCV-infected cells suggests that sufficient dose and duration of SIL might achieve viral suppression in advanced liver disease.

TI Contribution from biogenic organic compounds to particle growth during the 2010 BEACHON-ROCS campaign in a Colorado temperate needleleaf forest SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID CLOUD CONDENSATION NUCLEI; ATMOSPHERIC AEROSOL NUCLEATION; REACTION MASS-SPECTROMETRY; SULFURIC-ACID; BOREAL FOREST; TROPOSPHERIC DEGRADATION; CCN CONCENTRATIONS; BOUNDARY-LAYER; INITIAL STEPS; NEW-MODEL AB New particle formation (NPF) is an important atmospheric phenomenon. During an NPF event, particles first form by nucleation and then grow further in size. The growth step is crucial because it controls the number of particles that can become cloud condensation nuclei. Among various physical and chemical processes contributing to particle growth, condensation by organic vapors has been suggested as important. In order to better understand the influence of biogenic emissions on particle growth, we carried out modeling studies of NPF events during the BEACHON-ROCS (Biohydro-atmosphere interactions of Energy, Aerosol, Carbon, H2O, Organics & Nitrogen - Rocky Mountain Organic Carbon Study) campaign at Manitou Experimental Forest Observatory in Colorado, USA. The site is representative of the semi-arid western USA. With the latest Criegee intermediate reaction rates implemented in the chemistry scheme, the model underestimates sulfuric acid concentration by 50 %, suggesting either missing sources of atmospheric sulfuric acid or an overestimated sink term. The results emphasize the contribution from biogenic volatile organic compound emissions to particle growth by demonstrating the effects of the oxidation products of monoterpenes and 2-Methyl-3-buten-2-ol (MBO). Monoterpene oxidation products are shown to influence the nighttime particle loadings significantly, while their concentrations are insufficient to grow the particles during the day. The growth of ultrafine particles in the daytime appears to be closely related to the OH oxidation products of MBO.

TI Chemical composition, microstructure, and hygroscopic properties of aerosol particles at the Zotino Tall Tower Observatory (ZOTTO), Siberia, during a summer campaign SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID SECONDARY ORGANIC AEROSOL; CLOUD CONDENSATION NUCLEI; SIZE-RESOLVED MEASUREMENTS; BOREAL FOREST; ATMOSPHERIC AEROSOLS; WATER-UPTAKE; DROPLET ACTIVATION; CCN ACTIVITY; ANTHROPOGENIC AEROSOL; DICARBOXYLIC-ACIDS AB In this study we describe the hygroscopic properties of accumulation-and coarse-mode aerosol particles sampled at the Zotino Tall Tower Observatory (ZOTTO) in central Siberia (61 degrees N, 89 degrees E) from 16 to 21 June 2013. The hygroscopic growth measurements were supplemented with chemical analyses of the samples, including inorganic ions and organic/elemental carbon. In addition, the microstructure and chemical compositions of aerosol particles were analyzed by x-ray micro-spectroscopy (STXM-NEXAFS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). A mass closure analysis indicates that organic carbon accounted for 61 and 38% of particulate matter (PM) in the accumulation mode and coarse mode, respectively. The water-soluble fraction of organic matter was estimated to be 52 and 8% of PM in these modes. Sulfate, predominantly in the form of ammoniated sulfate, was the dominant inorganic component in both size modes: similar to 34% in the accumulation mode vs. similar to 47% in the coarse mode. The hygroscopic growth measurements were conducted with a filter-based differential hygroscopicity analyzer (FDHA) over the range of 5-99.4% RH in the hydration and dehydration operation modes. The FDHA study indicates that both accumulation and coarse modes exhibit pronounced water uptake approximately at the same relative humidity (RH), starting at similar to 70 %, while efflorescence occurred at different humidities, i.e., at similar to 35% RH for submicron particles vs. similar to 50% RH for supermicron particles. This similar to 15% RH difference was attributed to higher content of organic material in the submicron particles, which suppresses water release in the dehydration experiments. The kappa mass interaction model (KIM) was applied to characterize and parameterize non-ideal solution behavior and concentration-dependent water uptake by atmospheric aerosol samples in the 5-99.4% RH range. Based on KIM, the volume-based hygroscopicity parameter, kappa(v), was calculated. The kappa(v,ws) value related to the water-soluble (ws) fraction was estimated to be similar to 0.15 for the accumulation mode and similar to 0.36 for the coarse mode, respectively. The obtained kappa(v,ws) for the accumulation mode is in good agreement with earlier data reported for remote sites in the Amazon rain forest (kappa(v) approximate to 0.15) and a Colorado mountain forest (kappa(v) approximate to 0.16). We used the Zdanovskii-Stokes-Robinson (ZSR) mixing rule to predict the chemical composition dependent hygroscopicity, kappa(v,p). The obtained kappa(v,p) values overestimate the experimental FDHA-KIM-derived kappa(v,ws) by factors of 1.8 and 1.5 for the accumulation and coarse modes, respectively. This divergence can be explained by incomplete dissolution of the hygroscopic inorganic compounds resulting from kinetic limitations due to a sparingly soluble organic coating. The TEM and STXM-NEXAFS results indicate that aged submicron (> 300 nm) and supermicron aerosol particles possess core-shell structures with an inorganic core, and are enriched in organic carbon at the mixed particle surface. The direct FDHA kinetic studies provide a bulk diffusion coefficient of water of similar to 10(-12) cm(2) s(-1) indicating a semi-solid state of the organic-rich phase leading to kinetic limitations of water uptake and release during hydration and dehydration cycles. Overall, the present ZOTTO data set, obtained in the growing season, has revealed a strong influence of organic carbon on the hygroscopic properties of the ambient aerosols. The sparingly soluble organic coating controls hygroscopic growth, phase transitions, and microstructural rearrangement processes. The observed kinetic limitations can strongly influence the outcome of experiments performed on multi-second timescales, such as the commonly applied HTDMA (Hygroscopicity Tandem Differential Mobility Analyzer) and CCNC (Cloud Condensation Nuclei Counter) measurements.

While chemical vapor deposition continues to be the most common method for N-CNT fabrication, its complexity and high cost have prevented the practical implementation of N-CNTs on a larger scale. Here, we describe a new and simple method for N-CNT synthesis. This method is not only potentially scalable to any required level but also allows for the control of the tube size (20-1000 nm in diameter) and nitrogen doping levels (4-9 at%) through the selection of most suitable transition metal and heat-treatment conditions.

Here, we propose using melamine as a template for the synthesis of cambered nano-walls of SnO2/rGO materials. Melamine powder can effectively absorb SnO2/GO from the solution to form a core-shell structure of melamine@SnO2/GO. After thermal reduction of GO at 200 degrees C to form the melamine@SnO2/rGO, melamine was dissolved in hot water at 80 degrees C, leaving behind the cambered SnO2/rGO nano-walls. Melamine is recyclable since it precipitates when its solution cools to room temperature. The thickness of the SnO2/rGO nano-walls can be easily controlled by adjusting the mass ratio of melamine to SnO2/GO. When the mass ratio was set to ten, cambered walls of SnO2/rGO with a thickness of about 100200 nm were achieved. The resulting SnO2/rGO delivered an initial reversible capacity of 998 mA h g(-1) at a current density of 100 mA g(-1) and a capacity of 855 mA h g(-1) after 100 discharge-charge cycles in a potential range between 0.02 and 3.0 V vs. Li/Li+. It also showed good rate performance with a reversible capacity of 460 mA h g(-1) at 1 A g(-1). These high capacities can be linked to the special cambered nano-walls which ensure fast solid diffusion in addition to providing an effective liquid-channel and buffer-volume in the electrode. The proposed synthesis method is easily scalable and should be applicable to many other graphene based energy materials.

The response of the material must be understood with science-based models, under operating and accident conditions which include irradiation, high temperature and stress, corrosive environments, and magnetic fields. Neutron beams offer methods of characterizing and understanding the effects of radiation on material behaviour such as yield and tensile strength, toughness, embrittlement, fatigue and corrosion resistance. Neutron-analysis techniques improve our understanding of radiation damage, which is essential in guiding the development of new materials.

It is well known in GaN and related alloys that hole concentration is directly affected by compensation and extended defects. Using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, we studied the amount of neutral Mg in AlxGa1-xN with x = 0 to 0.28. 0.4-0.9 mu m thick Mg-doped AlxGa1-xN films were grown by metal-organic chemical vapour deposition and annealed at 900 degrees C anneal in N-2. EPR measurements indicate that the amount of neutral Mg decreased by 60% in AlxGa1-xN films for x = 0.18 and 0.28 as compared to x= 0.00 and 0.08. Experiments also showed that the lower neutral Mg for higher Al compositions trend did not depend on threading dislocation densities in the range of 3-20x10(9) cm(-2), capping the surface with 5 nm of P+ GaN, or detailed annealing conditions. Additional studies show that oxygen and carbon concentrations are insufficient to account for the decrease in neutral Mg observed in the samples. Although the study cannot isolate the cause for the decrease in neutral Mg, the results clearly demonstrate that the acceptor concentration decreases with increasing Al, providing an additional limitation to achieving high hole densities.

It is found that NMC cathodes containing Ti show equivalent capacity fading but greater specific capacity than those without Ti in the same potential range. When repeatedly charged to the same degree of delithiation, NMC cathodes containing Ti showed better capacity retention. Soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) spectra for Mn and Co indicated increased reduction in these elements for NMC cathodes without Ti, indicating that the substitution of Ti for Co acts to suppress the formation of a high impedance rock salt phase at the surface of NMC cathode particles. The results of this study validate the adoption of a facile change to existing NMC chemistries to improve cathode capacity retention under high voltage cycling conditions.

In the present article we demonstrate an alternative method to determine vibrational lifetimes of adsorbate molecules using quasi-elastic helium atom scattering (QHAS). As a probe of diffusive motion of molecules on surfaces QHAS is well established. Here, we demonstrate that QHAS can also be used to probe the vibrational lifetime of a molecule in its adsorption well. Measurements of cyclopentadienyl, C5H5, on Cu(111) allow us to distinguish two substrate phonon modes as well as two molecular vibrational modes, perpendicular and parallel to the surface. We further find that the dephasing of the vibrational motion corresponds to the friction determined in previous diffusion measurements. C1 [Lechner, Barbara A.

Anodic TiO2-nanotube (TiNT) arrays on a Ti foil substrate were prepared by electrochemical anodic oxidation and SEM/HRTEM/XRD analyses have suggested that the walls of TiO2 tubes are formed from stacked [101] planes (anatase). Both HRTEM and XRD indicate an interplanar spacing of d(101) = 0.36 nm in the wall structure. Despite the large amount of work done on nanotube synthesis, a thorough investigation of the electronic and atomic structures of free-standing TiNT arrays has not yet been carried out. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) and scanning photoelectron microscopy (SPEM) are employed herein to examine the electronic and atomic structures at the top and bottom of TiNT arrays. These analyses demonstrate the presence of mixed valence states of the Ti ions (Ti3+ and Ti4+) and a structural distortion at the bottom cap region of the TiNT. Additionally, the results obtained herein suggest the formation of a defective anatase phase at the bottom cap barrier layer between the Ti foil substrate and TiNT during the growth of electrochemically anodized nanotubes.

This analysis is performed using the RISMC toolkit: the RELAP-7 and RAVEN codes. RELAP-7 is the new generation of system analysis codes that is responsible for simulating the thermal-hydraulic dynamics of PWRand boiling water reactor systems. RAVEN has two capabilities: to act as a controller of the RELAP-7 simulation (e.g., component/system activation) and to perform statistical analyses. In our case, the simulation of the flooding is performed by using an advanced smooth particle hydrodynamics code called NEUTRINO. The obtained results allow the user to investigate and quantify the impact of timing and sequencing of events on system safety. In addition, the impact of power uprate is determined in terms of both core damage probability and safety margins.

Structural transitions from finite non-compact to compact to percolated structures are observed in the configurations simulated by molecular dynamics at a constant temperature and density. Configurational randomness across the transition, measured by the two-body excess entropy S-2, exhibits data collapse with the average potential energy (epsilon) over bar of the systems. Independent master curves are presented among S2, the reduced second virial coefficient B-2* and L, justifying this minimal description. This work lays out a coherent basis for the study of 2D aggregate morphologies relevant to diverse nano- and bio-processes. C1 [Das, Tamoghna; Bandi, M.

This makes them a popular target for investigation of peptide-lipid interactions. Here we report the effect of melittin, an important antimicrobial peptide, on the dynamics of membranes based on 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC) lipid in both the solid gel and fluid phases. To probe the phase transition, elastic neutron intensity temperature scans have been carried out on DMPC-based unilamellar vesicles (ULV) with and without melittin. We have found that addition of a small amount (0.2 mol%) melittin eliminates the steep fall in the elastic intensity at 296 K associated with the solid gel to fluid phase transition, which is observed for pure DMPC vesicles. Quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) experiments have been carried out on DMPC ULV in the solid gel and fluid phases with and without 0.2 mol% melittin. The data analysis invariably shows the presence of lateral and internal motions of the DMPC molecule. We found that melittin does have a profound effect on the dynamics of lipid molecules, especially on the lateral motion, and affects it in a different way, depending on the phase of the bilayers. In the solid gel phase, it acts as a plasticizer, enhancing the lateral motion of DMPC. However, in the fluid phase it acts as a stiffening agent, restricting the lateral motion of the lipid molecules. These observations are consistent with the mean squared displacements extracted from the elastic intensity temperature scans. Their importance lies in the fact that many membrane processes, including signaling and energy transduction pathways, are controlled to a great extent by the lateral diffusion of lipids in the membrane. To investigate the effect of melittin on vesicles supplemented with cholesterol, QENS experiments have also been carried out on DMPC ULV with cholesterol in the presence and absence of 0.2 mol% melittin. Remarkably, the effects of melittin on the membrane dynamics disappear in the presence of 20 mol% cholesterol. Our measurements indicate that the destabilizing effect of the peptide melittin on membranes can be mitigated by the presence of cholesterol. This study might provide new insights into the mechanism of action of antimicrobial peptides and their selective toxicity towards foreign microorganisms. C1 [Sharma, V. K.; Anunciado, D.

To obtain a molecular understanding of the thermodynamics of self-assembly, we develop a coarse-grained triblock polymer model and apply self-consistent field theory to investigate the packing mechanism into layer structures. By tuning the structural and interaction asymmetry, we are able to obtain bilayers and monolayers, where the latter may additionally be mixed (symmetric) or segregated (asymmetric). Of particular interest for a variety of applications are the asymmetric monolayers, where segregation of end blocks to opposite surfaces is expected to have important implications for the development of functional nanotubes and vesicles with distinct surface chemistries.

Three primary techniques are identified for vehicle fuel efficiency improvement: 1) vehicle technology improvements such as drivetrain improvements, 2) traffic infrastructure improvements such as traffic flow management and route selection, and 3) driver behavior changes such as acceleration and deceleration profiles. Out of the 3 techniques, driver behavior changing has the least implementation cost and is able to provide immediate results. Thus, this paper presents a fuel efficient driving behavior identification and feedback architecture that is specific to fleet vehicles. The presented method utilizes historical data from fleet drivers on specific routes and generates fuel optimal velocity profiles that do not affect travel time. The identified velocity profile is the prompted to the driver via a low-cost plug-and-play style un-obstructive display. The display uses an intuitive and easily understandable visualization to prompt drivers on fuel efficient velocity. The presented architecture was tested on the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) bus fleet in real-world driving conditions and was shown to be able to increase the fuel economy by 9% and 20% in two different driving scenarios.

Our analysis focuses on the case of zero skewness, xi = 0, and underlines that the impulse-approximation used hitherto to define the pion's valence dressed-quark GPD is generally invalid owing to omission of contributions from the gluons which bind dressed-qtrirks into the pion. A simple correction enables us to identify a practicable improvement to the approximation for H-pi(v) (x, 0, t), expressed as the Radon transform of a single amplitude. Therewith we obtain results for H-pi(v) (x, 0, t) and the associated impact-parameter dependent distribution, q(pi)(v)(x,vertical bar(B) over right arrow (perpendicular to)vertical bar) which provide a qualitatively sound picture of the pion's dressed-quark structure at an hadronic scale.

Moreover, they are also a security and safety concern because of possible risk of fire/explosion or toxicity. This study presents gas concentration measurements using a quantum cascade laser open path system (QCLOPS). The system retrieves the path-averaged concentration of N2O by collecting the backscattered light from a scattering target. The gas concentration measurements have a high temporal resolution (68 ms) and are achieved at sufficient range (up to 40 m, similar to 130 feet) with a detection limit of 0.4 ppm for N2O. Given these characteristics, this system is promising for mobile/multidirectional remote detection and evaluation of gas leaks.

The IRB reviews the protocol for risks and approves it if it meets the criteria for approval specified in the relevant Federal regulations (45 CFR 46). Many other countries operate similar mechanisms for the protection of human subjects. IRBs review protocols for safety, confidentiality, and for minimization of risk associated with identity disclosure. Since biometric measurements are potentially identifying, IRB scrutiny of biometrics data collection protocols can be expected to be thorough. This paper discusses the intricacies of IRB best practices within the worldwide biometrics community. This is important because research decisions involving human subjects are made at a local level and do not set a precedent for decisions made by another IRB board. In many cases, what one board approves is not approved by another board, resulting in significant inconsistencies that prove detrimental to both researchers and human subjects. Furthermore, the level of biometrics expertise may be low on IRBs, which can contribute to the unevenness of reviews. This publication will suggest possible best practices for designing and seeking IRB approval for human subjects research involving biometrics measurements.

The distinction of hamming distance score is caused by many factors such as image acquisition angle, occlusion, pupil dilation, and limbus effect. In this paper, we first study the effect of the angle variations between iris plane and the image acquisition systems. We present how hamming distance changes for different off-angle iris images even if they are coming from the same iris. We observe that increment in acquisition angle of compared iris images causes the increment in hamming distance. Second, we propose a new technique in off-angle iris recognition system that includes creating a gallery of different off-angle iris images (such as, 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 degrees) and comparing each probe image with these gallery images. We will show the accuracy of the gallery approach for off-angle iris recognition. C1 [Karakaya, Mahmut; Yoldash, Rashiduddin] Meliksah Univ, Dept Elect & Elect Engn, TR-38280 Kayseri, Turkey.

In situ reduction at 900 degrees C extracts the transition metals from the oxide, and the resulting catalysts contain metal crystallites with particle sizes of similar to 100 nm and exceedingly low dispersion, but show high activity for dry reforming of methane with turnover frequencies as large as 3.9 at 850 degrees C. The Ni0.375Cu0.375Mg0.25Al2O4 catalyst shows stable methane conversion out to 12 hours on stream without performance-degrading coking. For the Ni/Co catalysts, the reforming activity and sulfur tolerance are both functions of the Ni/Co ratio and the synthesis temperature of the starting spinel, with Ni0.375Co0.375Mg0.25Al2O4 synthesized at 1500 degrees C displaying fast reaction kinetics even in the presence of 20 ppm H2S. High reforming activity is attributed to long linear lengths of high-perfection facet edges and corners on the metal crystallites. Sulfur tolerance appears to be improved by a combination of the oxygen storage capacity of the defective spinel support and its faceting that provides additional reaction sites for activation of CO2.

BILP-101 has exhibited ultra-microporosity (0.54 nm), very high CO2 uptake (similar to 1 mmol g(-1), 4 wt%, 0.15 bar/298 K) and exceptional CO2/N-2 selectivity of 80 (298 K), which results in remarkable working capacity and regenerability for CO2 capture applications.

Gagliardi, Laura Smit, Berend TI CO2 induced phase transitions in diamine-appended metal-organic frameworks SO CHEMICAL SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID TOTAL-ENERGY CALCULATIONS; CARBON-DIOXIDE CAPTURE; WAVE BASIS-SET; AB-INITIO; ADSORPTION; MECHANISM AB Using a combination of density functional theory and lattice models, we study the effect of CO2 adsorption in an amine functionalized metal-organic framework. These materials exhibit a step in the adsorption isotherm indicative of a phase change. The pressure at which this step occurs is not only temperature dependent but is also metal center dependent. Likewise, the heats of adsorption vary depending on the metal center. Herein we demonstrate via quantum chemical calculations that the amines should not be considered firmly anchored to the framework and we explore the mechanism for CO2 adsorption. An ammonium carbamate species is formed via the insertion of CO2 into the M-Namine bonds. Furthermore, we translate the quantum chemical results into isotherms using a coarse grained Monte Carlo simulation technique and show that this adsorption mechanism can explain the characteristic step observed in the experimental isotherm while a previously proposed mechanism cannot. Furthermore, metal analogues have been explored and the CO2 binding energies show a strong metal dependence corresponding to the M-Namine bond strength. We show that this difference can be exploited to tune the pressure at which the step in the isotherm occurs. Additionally, the mmen-Ni-2(dobpdc) framework shows Langmuir like behavior, and our simulations show how this can be explained by competitive adsorption between the new model and a previously proposed model.

Glutarimidoxioxime (HLIII), together with glutarimidedioxime (H2LI) and glutardiamidoxime (H2LII), belongs to a family of amidoxime derivatives with prospective applications as binding agents for the recovery of uranium from seawater. An optimized procedure of synthesis that leads to the preparation of glutarimidoxioxime in the absence of other amidoxime byproducts is described in this paper. Speciation models based on the thermodynamic results from this study indicate that, compared with H2LI and H2LII, HLIII forms a much weaker complex with UO22+, UO2(L-III)(+), and cannot effectively compete with the hydrolysis equilibria of UO22+ under neutral or alkaline conditions. DFT computations, taking into account the solvation by including discrete hydration water molecules and bulk solvent effects, were performed to evaluate the structures and energies of the possible isomers of UO2(L-III)(+). Differing from the tridentate or eta(2)-coordination modes previously found in the U(VI) complexes with amidoxime-related ligands, a bidentate mode, involving the oxygen of the oxime group and the nitrogen of the imino group, is found to be the most probable mode in UO2(L-III)(+). The bidentate coordination mode seems to be stabilized by the formation of a hydrogen bond between the carbonyl group of HLIII and a water molecule in the hydration sphere of UO22+.

In order to identify the best conditions for optimizing the process, a wide range of parameters was investigated. The efficiency of the process was evaluated with the aid of four quantitative indicators. The properties of the materials prepared by microwave irradiation were compared with those synthesized by conventional heating, and no significant effects on morphology, crystal size, or defects were found from the use of microwave assisted heating. Scale up was performed maintaining the high efficiency of the process.

TI Photoswitching a molecular catalyst to regulate CO2 hydrogenation SO DALTON TRANSACTIONS LA English DT Article ID TRANSITION-METAL HYDRIDES; FORMATE DEHYDROGENASE-H; AB-INITIO CALCULATIONS; DIPHOSPHINE LIGANDS; REACTION-MECHANISM; CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE; SOLUBLE POLYMERS; COMPLEXES; AZOBENZENE; DESIGN AB Inspired by nature's ability to regulate catalysis using physiological stimuli, azobenzene was incorporated into Rh(bis) diphosphine CO2 hydrogenation catalysts to photoinitiate structural changes to modulate the resulting catalytic activity. The rhodium bound diphosphine ligands (P(Ph-2)-CH2-N(R)-CH2-P(Ph-2)) contain the terminal amine of a non-natural amino acid, with the R-group being either beta-alanine (beta-Ala) or gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). For both beta-Ala and GABA containing complexes, the carboxylic acids of the amino acids were coupled to the amines of diaminoazobenzene, creating a complex consisting of a rhodium bound to a photo-responsive tetradentate ligand. The photo-induced cis-trans isomerization of the azobenzene-containing complexes imposes structural changes on these complexes, as evidenced by NMR studies. We found that the CO2 hydrogenation activity for the beta-Ala bound rhodium complex is 40% faster at 27 degrees C with the light on, i.e. azobenzene in the cis-conformation (TOF = 16 s(-1)) than when the complex was in the dark and the azobenzene in the trans-conformation (TOF = 11 s(-1)). In contrast the.-aminobutyric acid containing rhodium complex has the same rate (TOF = 17 s(-1)) with the azobenzene in either the cis or the trans-conformation at 27 degrees C. The corresponding (bis) diphosphine complexes without the attached azobenzene were also prepared, characterized, and catalytically tested for comparison, and have TOF's of 30 s(-1). Computational studies were undertaken to evaluate if the difference in rate between the cis- and trans-azobenzene isomers for the beta-Ala bound rhodium complex were due to structural differences. These computational investigations revealed major structural changes between all cis-and trans-azobenzene structures, but only minor structural changes that would be unique to the beta-Ala bound rhodium complex. We postulate that the different rates between the cis-and trans-azobenzene beta-Ala bound containing rhodium complexes are due to subtle changes in the bite angle arising from steric strain due to the azobenzene-containing tetradentate ligand. This strain alters the hydricity of the subsequent rhodium hydride and consequently the rate. C1 [Priyadarshani, Nilusha; Ginovska, Bojana; Bays, J.

In structural health monitoring (SHM) applications, haptic devices have been introduced and applied in a simplified laboratory scale scenario, in which nonlinearity, representing the presence of damage, was encoded into a vibratory manual interface. In this paper, the "spirit" of haptics is adopted, but here ultrasonic guided wave scattering information is transformed into audio (rather than tactile) range signals. After sufficient training, the structural damage condition, including occurrence and location, can be identified through the encoded audio waveforms. Different algorithms are employed in this paper to generate the transformed audio signals and the performance of each encoding algorithms is compared, and also compared with standard machine learning classifiers. In the long run, the haptic decision-making is aiming to detect and classify structural damages in a more rigorous environment, and approaching a baseline-free fashion with embedded temperature compensation.

The heptanuclear compound is composed of a central octahedral CuO6 core sharing edges with six adjacent copper octahedra. In 2, the copper octahedra shares one equatorial edge. In both compounds, these basic copper cluster units are further linked by water bridges and bridging adenine ligands through N3 and N9 donors. All copper(II) centers exhibit Jahn-Teller distorted octahedral coordination characteristic of a d(9) center.

Here a pair of molecules DR2TDTCz and DR3TCz with similar backbone structures and varying conjugated central units were designed and synthesized, and their photovoltaic performance was studied and compared. The molecule DR2TDTCz, containing dithieno[3,2-b; 6,7-b] carbazole (DTCz) as the central building block, with a carbazole ring in the center and two fused thiophene rings at the two sides of carbazole, exhibits improved solar light absorption and slightly narrow band gap, compared with the analogue system DR3TCz which has carbazole and two un-fused thiophene rings in the central building block. More importantly, it is found that introducing DTCz with thiophene fused 2,7-carbazole to replace 2,7-carbazole achieves a better molecular packing and favorable orientation, thus benefiting charge transport. As a result, the DR2TDTCz based device exhibits a power conversion efficiency (PCE) up to 7.03% with an impressively high FF of 75%, while the DR3TCz based device shows a PCE of 4.08% with a much lower FF of 54%. The results indicate that the FF can be tuned directly by the molecular structures and enlarged conjugation central core units could be beneficial to achieve high FF for the devices based on the acceptor-donor-acceptor (A-D-A) type small molecules.

Even films as thin as 0.5 nm, which represent as few as 10 ALD cycles, begin to show hole blocking in the electrochemical experiments, and optimized rectification and power conversion efficiencies are seen for the diode and OPV platforms respectively at a thickness of ca. 3 nm. These results suggest a significant reactivity of the ALD precursors with the ITO substrate to form conformal films with properties which can normally only be achieved with much thicker TiO2 films created from chemical vapor deposition or sol-gel solution processing. The performance of these PE-ALD TiOx layers is highly dependent on thickness. Up to ca. 3 nm these PE-ALD films remain amorphous, whereas for thicker layers (10 nm) grazing incidence X-ray diffraction shows a transition to the anatase structure, with an increase in both leakage current and reduction in shunt resistance in PV platforms. TiO2 films can be quite attractive electron-selective, hole-blocking interlayers in both PV and photoelectrochemical energy conversion platforms, but need to be thin, owing to their lower intrinsic conductivities. PE-ALD TiO2 films appear to provide these capabilities, with strikingly optimized performance at very low thickness.

TI Electrochemically induced surface modifications of mesoporous spinets (Co3O4-delta, MnCo2O4-delta, NiCo2O4-delta) as the origin of the OER activity and stability in alkaline medium SO JOURNAL OF MATERIALS CHEMISTRY A LA English DT Article ID OXYGEN EVOLUTION REACTION; X-RAY PHOTOELECTRON; SOL-GEL ROUTE; WATER OXIDATION; ELECTROCATALYTIC ACTIVITY; COBALT OXIDE; REDUCTION REACTION; SPRAY-PYROLYSIS; HIGH-RESOLUTION; DOPED CO3O4 AB Co3O4-delta, MnCo2O4-delta, NiCo2O4-delta materials were synthesized using a nanocasting process consisting in replicating a SBA-15 hard template. Catalysts powders obtained were characterized using different physico-chemical techniques (X-ray scattering, transmission electron microscopy, N-2 physisorption and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) in order to deeply characterize their morphostructural properties. Electrochemical measurements performed with cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques have shown that these catalysts were liable to surface modifications induced by the applied electrode potential. These surface structural modifications as well as their effect on the electroactivity of the catalyst towards the OER in alkaline medium are discussed. The activated NiCo2O4-delta material showed particularly excellent catalytic ability towards the OER in 0.1 M KOH electrolyte. In this material Co(iv) is found to be the active species in the catalyst composition for the OER. It exhibits an overpotential as low as 390 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm(-2). This catalytic activity is especially high since the oxide loading is only of 0.074 mg cm(-2). Furthermore, this anode catalyst showed high stability during an accelerated durability test of 1500 voltammetric cycles.

TI Reduced Order Modeling of Mechanical Degradation Induced Performance Decay in Lithium-Ion Battery Porous Electrodes SO JOURNAL OF THE ELECTROCHEMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID DIFFUSION-INDUCED DAMAGE; ACOUSTIC-EMISSION; INSERTION CELL; INDUCED STRESS; CAPACITY FADE; INTERCALATION ELECTRODES; ELECTROCHEMICAL MODEL; MATHEMATICAL-MODEL; DISCHARGE RATES; MULTI-PHYSICS AB A one-dimensional computational framework is developed that can solve for the evolution of voltage and current in a lithium-ion battery electrode under different operating conditions. A reduced order model is specifically constructed to predict the growth of mechanical degradation within the active particles of the carbon anode as a function of particle size and C-rate. Using an effective diffusivity relation, the impact of microcracks on the diffusivity of the active particles has been captured. Reduction in capacity due to formation of microcracks within the negative electrode under different operating conditions (constant current discharge and constant current constant voltage charge) has been investigated. At the beginning of constant current discharge, mechanical damage to electrode particles predominantly occurs near the separator. As the reaction front shifts, mechanical damage spreads across the thickness of the negative electrode and becomes relatively uniform under multiple discharge/charge cycles. Mechanical degradation under different drive cycle conditions has been explored. It is observed that electrodes with larger particle sizes are prone to capacity fade due to microcrack formation. Under drive cycle conditions, small particles close to-the separator and large particles close to the current collector can help in reducing the capacity fade due to mechanical degradation.

Over-Discharge Phenomena SO JOURNAL OF THE ELECTROCHEMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID BATTERIES AB Lithium-ion cells with composite positive electrodes are attractive and promising for EV and PHEV applications. For powertrain applications, the battery packs are required to have multiple-cell configurations, where some battery management is needed to protect cells from experiencing overcharging and overdischarging. Here, we show how to analyze the effect of slight overdischarge in a graphite parallel to {LixMn1/3Ni1/3Co1/3O2 + Li5Mn2O4} cell, when it was overdischarged to 2.0 V. We found a peculiar behavior at low voltages that is imputable to the composite nature of the positive electrode. Under certain circumstances, due to differences in kinetic limitations in each of the constituents in the composite electrode, although Li5Mn1/3Ni1/3Co1/3O2 were discharged normally, LixMn2O4 could be overdischarged to Li2Mn2O4 and cause capacity fade.

The anodic stability of the new electrolytes on fully charged spinel LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO) cathode was examined by electrochemical floating tests. The effects of fluorine substitution on the cyclic and linear carbonate, ratio of cyclic vs. linear carbonate, and LiPF6 concentration on the electrolyte oxidation stability were investigated. Based on this study, the floating test proved to be an effective tool for identification of stable electrolyte materials. (C) The Author(s) 2015. Published by ECS. All rights reserved.

The receptors are also potentially beneficial to rechargeable lithium ion-and lithium air batteries. We apply Density Functional Theory (DFT) to show that an oxalate-based pentafluorophenyl-boron anion receptor binds as strongly, or more strongly, to fluoride anions than many phenyl-boron anion receptors proposed in the literature. Experimental data shows marked improvement in electrolyte conductivity when this oxalate anion receptor is present. The receptor is sufficiently electrophilic that organic solvent molecules compete with F- for boron-site binding, and specific solvent effects must be considered when predicting its F- affinity. To further illustrate the last point, we also perform computational studies on a geometrically constrained boron ester that exhibits much stronger gas-phase affinity for both F- and organic solvent molecules. After accounting for specific solvent effects, however, its net F- affinity is about the same as the simple oxalate-based anion receptor. Finally, we propose that LiF dissolution in cyclic carbonate organic solvents, in the absence of anion receptors, is due mostly to the formation of ionic aggregates, not isolated F- ions.

Advancement in understanding of such capacity fade mechanisms has paved the way for selecting design parameters that consider these effects. This paper shows the effect of porosity, thickness, and tortuosity of the anode on capacity fade mechanisms. Three main capacity fade mechanisms are analyzed in this paper: (1) solid electrolyte interface (SET) side reaction, (2) lithium plating side reactions and (3) mechanical degradation due to intercalation induced stresses. Moreover, for a given thickness and porosity of anode, the effect of porosity variation on capacity fade mechanisms is also presented. (C) The Author(s) 2015. Published by ECS. All rights reserved.

TI Understanding the Effects of PEMFC Contamination from Balance of Plant Assembly Aids Materials: In Situ Studies SO JOURNAL OF THE ELECTROCHEMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID MEMBRANE DEGRADATION-PRODUCTS; FUEL-CELL; PERFORMANCE; IMPACT; CATALYST; DURABILITY AB In situ performance data were measured to assess the degree of contamination from leachates of five families of balance of plant (BOP) materials (i.e., 2-part adhesive, grease, thread lock/seal, silicone adhesive/seal and urethane adhesive/seal) broadly classified as assembly aids that may be used as adhesives and lubricants in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) systems. Leachate solutions, derived from soaking the materials in deionized (DI) water at elevated temperature, were infused into the fuel cell to determine the effect of the leachates on fuel cell performance. During the contamination phase of the experiments, leachate solution was introduced through a nebulizer into the cathode feed stream of a 50 cm(2) PEMFC operating at 0.2 A/cm(2) at 80 degrees C and 32%RH. Voltage loss and high frequency resistance (HFR) were measured as a function of time and electrochemical surface area (ECA) before and after contamination were compared. Two procedures of recovery, one self-induced recovery with DI water and one driven recovery through cyclic voltammetry (CV) were investigated. Performance results measured before and after contamination and after CV recovery are compared and discussed. (C) The Author(s) 2015. Published by ECS. All rights reserved. C1 [Opu, Md.; Van Zee, J.

TI Evidence of High Electrocatalytic Activity of Molybdenum Carbide Supported Platinum Nanorafts SO JOURNAL OF THE ELECTROCHEMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID PEM FUEL-CELLS; OXYGEN REDUCTION; CORROSION; ELECTRODES; COMPOSITE; NITRIDES; GOLD AB A remarkable new supported metal catalyst structure on Mo2C substrates, 'rafts' of platinum consisting of less than 6 atoms, was synthesized and found to be catalytically active electrocatalyst for oxygen reduction. A novel catalytic synthesis method: Reduction-Expansion-Synthesis of Catalysts (RES-C), from rapid heating of dry mixture of solid precursors of molybdenum, platinum and urea in an inert gas environment, led to the creation of unique platinum Nanorafts on Mo2C. The Pt Nanorafts offer a complete utilization of the Pt atoms for electrocatalysis with no "hidden" atoms. This structure is strongly affected by its interaction with the substrate as was observed by XPS. In this work, we show for the first time, evidence of electrocatalytic activity with such small clusters of non-crystalline Pt atoms as catalysts for oxygen reduction. Electrochemical half-cell characterization shows that this structure permit more efficient utilization of platinum, with mass activity conservatively measured to be 50% that of platinum particles generated using traditional approaches. Moreover, as cathode fuel cell catalysts, these novel material may dramatically enhance stability, relative to the commercial Pt/carbon catalysts. (C) 2015 The Electrochemical Society.

TI Fabrication of Carbon-Platinum Interdigitated Array Electrodes and Their Application for Investigating Homogeneous Hydrogen Evolution Catalysis SO JOURNAL OF THE ELECTROCHEMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID SELECTIVE DETECTION; MICROELECTRODES; SENSOR; NANOELECTRODES; NANOPARTICLES; IMMUNOASSAY; BIOSENSORS AB Interdigitated array electrodes (IDAEs) with one carbon electrode and the other platinum electrode were constructed by electrode-positing platinum on one set of the carbon electrodes. Platinum deposition was confirmed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and cyclic voltammetry. The width of the carbon and platinum digits is less than 2 mu m and the gap between two adjacent digits is around 3 mu m. The carbon-platinum IDAEs benefit from the characteristics of both carbon and platinum in that carbon can provide a wide nonreactive potential window while platinum is a good catalyst for hydrogen reactions making it useful to characterize the catalytic hydrogen production cycle of the molecular electrocatalyst [Ni((P2N2Ph)-N-Ph)(2)(CH3CN)](BF4)(2) (where (P2N2Ph)-N-Ph is 1,3,5,7-tetraphenyl-1,5-diaza-3,7-diphosphacyclooctane). With properly set potentials, the molecular electrocatalyst was reduced at the carbon digits to initiate a homogeneous H-2 production reaction while the platinum digits detect the H-2 by oxidation, providing direct evidence of its production rate from the catalytic cycles.

Possible reasons for discrepancies between reported measurements obtained with electrochemical techniques have been investigated and a combination of methods to improve their precision has been established. The combination of methods consists of selecting a suitable electroanalytical measurement technique, experimentally verifying assumptions used in its theoretical analysis, ensuring reproducible conditions at the electrode/electrolyte interface, and using an improved method to eliminate the need to know the electrode surface area. By following the developed procedures and refining both experimental techniques and data analysis methods, precise and reproducible measurements were obtained for U and Pu in LiC1/KCl eutectic at 773 K. Preliminary results showed that cyclic voltammetry, along with a method of standard area addition, are very promising tools for in situ quantitative measurements with a degree of precision comparable to destructive analysis techniques.

The Kolsky bar experimental data was analyzed in the frequency domain with respect to impact energy dissipation and acceleration attenuation to perform a shock mitigation assessment on the foam material. The PMDI foam material exhibits excellent performance in both energy dissipation and acceleration attenuation, particularly for the impact frequency content over 1.5 kHz. This frequency (1.5 kHz) was observed to be independent of specimen thickness and impact speed, which may represent the characteristic shock mitigation frequency of the PMDI foam material under investigation. The shock mitigation characteristics of the PMDI foam material were insignificantly influenced by the specimen thickness. However, impact speed did have some effect.

COLI; EXPRESSION; CHEMICALS; SYSTEM AB Microbial long chain alcohols and alkanes are renewable biofuels that could one day replace petroleum-derived fuels. Here we report a novel pathway for high efficiency production of these products in Escherichia coli strain BL21(DE3). We first identified the acyl-ACP reductase/aldehyde deformylase combinations with the highest activity in this strain. Next, we used catalase coexpression to remove toxic byproducts and increase the overall titer. Finally, by introducing the type-I fatty acid synthase from Corynebacterium ammoniagenes, we were able to bypass host regulatory mechanisms of fatty acid synthesis that have thus far hampered efforts to optimize the yield of acyl-ACP-derived products in BL21(DE3). When all these engineering strategies were combined with subsequent optimization of fermentation conditions, we were able to achieve a final titer around 100 mg L-1 long chain alcohol/alkane products including a 57 mg L-1 titer of pentadecane, the highest titer reported in E. coli BL21(DE3) to date. The expression of prokaryotic type-I fatty acid synthases offer a unique strategy to produce fatty acid-derived products in E. coli that does not rely exclusively on the endogenous type-II fatty acid synthase system.

Such a process is driven by the illumination of a high-energy electron beam accelerated at 200 kV that promotes atom diffusion in the nanoparticles that are in physical contact. Upon electron illumination, adjacent Au nanoparticles gradually merge together to form a larger particle along with the reduction of the surface area despite the fact that orientated attachment is not observed. According to the detailed analysis of the size change of the particles and the contact area, it was found that the nanoparticle fusion process is significantly different from the well-established thermal diffusion mechanism. In addition to the similar fusion process of Au nanoparticles, Ag nanoparticles undergo apparent sublimation induced by knock on damage because the transferred energy from the electron beam to nanoparticles is higher than the surface binding energy of Ag atoms when the electron scattering angle is larger than 112 degrees. The particles with a smaller size diffuse faster. Surface diffusion dominates at the beginning of the fusion process followed by slower lattice diffusion. Electron beam illumination can transform the interfaced Au/Ag dimers to Au@Ag core-shell particles followed by a slow removal of the Ag shells. This process under normal electron beam illumination is a lot faster than the thermally driven process. Both diffusion and sublimation of Ag atoms are dependent on the intensity of the electron beam, i.e., a higher beam intensity is favorable to accelerate both the processes.

Here we report a novel approach for achieving perpendicular exchange bias by orienting the ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic coupling in the vertical geometry through a unique vertically aligned nanocomposite (VAN) design. Our results demonstrate robust perpendicular exchange bias phenomena in micrometer-thick films employing a prototype material system of antiferromagnetic BiFeO3 and ferromagnetic La0.7Sr0.3MnO3. The unique response of exchange bias to a perpendicular magnetic field reveals the existence of exchange coupling along their vertical heterointerfaces, which exhibits a strong dependence on their strain states. This VAN approach enables a large selection of material systems for achieving perpendicular exchange bias, which could lead to advanced spintronic devices.

We introduce a new, tunable block copolymer model system, which allows us to vary the aggregation number, and consequently its softness, by changing the solvophobic-to-solvophilic block ratio (m: n) over two orders of magnitude. Based on a simple and general coarse-grained model of the colloidal interaction potential, we verify the significance of interaction length sigma(int) governing both structural and dynamic properties. We put forward a quantitative comparison between theory and experiment without adjustable parameters, covering a broad range of experimental polymer volume fractions (0.001 <= phi <= 0.5) and regimes from ultra-soft star-like to hard sphere-like particles, that finally results in the dynamic phase diagram of soft colloids. In particular, we find throughout the concentration domain a strong correlation between mesoscopic diffusion and macroscopic viscosity, irrespective of softness, manifested in data collapse on master curves using the interaction length sigma(int) as the only relevant parameter. A clear reentrance in the glass transition at high aggregation numbers is found, recovering the predicted hard-sphere (HS) value in the hard-sphere like limit. Finally, the excellent agreement between our new experimental systems with different but already established model systems shows the relevance of block copolymer micelles as a versatile realization of soft colloids and the general validity of a coarse-grained approach for the description of the structure and dynamics of soft colloids.

Here, we report a facile, fast and bio-friendly microwave-assisted polyol route for the synthesis of a complex multi-material consisting of monodisperse gold nanotriangles around 280 nm in size uniformly decorated by superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles of 5 nm. These nanotriangles are readily dispersible in water, display a strong magnetic response (10 wt% magnetic fraction) and exhibit a localized surface plasmon resonance band in the NIR region (800 nm). Moreover, these hybrid particles can be easily self-assembled at the liquid-air interfaces.

We have produced such BBHR coatings consisting of TiO2/SiO2 layer pairs deposited by ion assisted e-beam evaporation using the large optics coater at Sandia National Laboratories. This paper focuses on laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) tests of these coatings. LIDT is difficult to measure for such coatings due to the broad range of wavelengths over which they can operate. An ideal test would be in the vacuum environment of the fs-pulse PW use laser using fs pulses identical to of the PW laser. Short of this ideal testing would be tests over portions of the HR band of the BBHR coating using ns or sub-ps pulses produced by tunable lasers. Such tests could be over similar to 10 nm wide wavelength intervals whose center wavelengths could be tuned over the BBHR coating's operational band. Alternatively, the HR band of the BBHR coating could be adjusted by means of wavelength shifts due to changing the AOI of the LIDT tests or due to absorbed moisture by the coating under ambient conditions. We conduct LIDT tests on the BBHR coatings at selected AOIs to gain insight into the coatings' laser damage properties, and analyze how the results of the different LIDT tests compare.

In the early 2000 time frame, studies of laser damage growth with relevant large area beams revealed that for some laser conditions damage sites located on the exit surface of a fused silica optic grew following an exponential growth rule: D(n) = D-0 exp (n alpha(phi)), where D is final site diameter, D-0 is the initial diameter of the site, phi is the laser fluence, alpha(phi) is the growth coefficient, and n is the number of exposures. In general alpha is a linear function of phi, with a threshold of phi(TH). In recent years, it has been found that that growth behavior is actually considerably more complex. For example, it was found that alpha is not a constant for a given fluence but follows a probability distribution with a mean equal to alpha(phi). This is complicated by observations that these distributions are actually functions of the pulse shape, damage site size, and initial morphology of damage initiation. In addition, there is not a fixed fluence threshold for damage sites growth, which is better described by a probability of growth which depends on site size, morphology and laser fluence. Here will review these findings and discuss implications for the operation of large laser systems. C1 [Carr, C.

One aspect of this principle is to make every effort to limit long interruptions during the coating's deposition. Otherwise, contamination may accumulate during the pause and become embedded in the coating after the deposition is restarted, leading to a lower laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT). However, pausing a deposition is sometimes unavoidable, despite our best efforts. For example, a sudden hardware or software glitch may require hours or even overnight to solve. In order to broaden our understanding of the role of embedded contamination on LIDT, and determine whether a coating deposited under such non-ideal circumstances could still be acceptable, this study explores how halting a deposition overnight impacts the LIDT, and whether ion cleaning can be used to mitigate any negative effects on the LIDT. The coatings investigated are a beam splitter design for high reflection at 1054 nm and high transmission at 527 nm, at 22.5 degrees angle of incidence in S-polarization. LIDT tests were conducted in the nanosecond regime. C1 [Field, Ella; Bellum, John; Kletecka, Damon] Sandia Natl Labs, Albuquerque, NM 87185 USA.

TI Molecular weight growth in Titan's atmosphere: branching pathways for the reaction of 1-propynyl radical (H3CC C-center dot) with small alkenes and alkynes SO PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY CHEMICAL PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID PHOTOIONIZATION MASS-SPECTROMETRY; POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC-HYDROCARBONS; TEMPERATURE RATE COEFFICIENTS; ALLENE CH2=C=CH2; CROSS-SECTIONS; C2H; PRODUCT; KINETICS; PROPYNE; CN AB The reaction of small hydrocarbon radicals (i.e. (CN)-C-center dot, (C2H)-C-center dot) with trace alkenes and alkynes is believed to play an important role in molecular weight growth and ultimately the formation of Titan's characteristic haze. Current photochemical models of Titan's atmosphere largely assume hydrogen atom abstraction or unimolecular hydrogen elimination reactions dominate the mechanism, in contrast to recent experiments that reveal significant alkyl radical loss pathways during reaction of ethynyl radical ((C2H)-C-center dot) with alkenes and alkynes. In this study, the trend is explored for the case of a larger ethynyl radical analogue, the 1-propynyl radical (H3CC equivalent to C-center dot), a likely product from the high-energy photolysis of propyne in Titan's atmosphere. Using synchrotron vacuum ultraviolet photoionization mass spectrometry, product branching ratios are measured for the reactions of 1-propynyl radical with a suite of small alkenes (ethylene and propene) and alkynes (acetylene and d(4)-propyne) at 4 Torr and 300 K. Reactions of 1-propynyl radical with acetylene and ethylene form single products, identified as penta-1,3-diyne and pent-1-en-3-yne, respectively. These products form by hydrogen atom loss from the radical-adduct intermediates. The reactions of 1-propynyl radical with d(4)-propyne and propene form products from both hydrogen atom and methyl loss, (-H = 27%, -CH3 = 73%) and (-H = 14%, -CH3 = 86%), respectively. Together, these results indicate that reactions of ethynyl radical analogues with alkenes and alkynes form significant quantities of products by alkyl loss channels, suggesting that current photochemical models of Titan over predict both hydrogen atom production as well as the efficiency of molecular weight growth in these reactions.

We present a detailed study of this mechanism by in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations. Distinct spectral changes at the N and O K-edges are apparent upon CO2 adsorption in both mmen-mg(2)(dobpdc) and mmen-Mn-2(dobpdc), and these are evaluated based upon computed spectra from three potential adsorption structures. The computations reveal that the observed spectral changes arise from specific electronic states that are signatures of a quasi-trigonal planar carbamate species that is hydrogen bonded to an ammonium cation. This eliminates two of the three structures studied, and confirms the insertion mechanism. We note the particular sensitivity of X-ray absorption spectra to the insertion step of this mechanism, underpinning the strength of the technique for examining subtle chemical changes upon gas adsorption.

Proper understanding of the association behavior of lignins during solution processing provides important structural information that is needed to rationally optimize the use of lignins in industry in a range of value added applications. In these experiments, we follow the assembly of lignin molecules from a variety of sources in dimethyl sulfoxide, a good solvent for lignins, using small angle neutron scattering. In order to mimic industrial processing conditions, concentrations of lignins were kept above the overlap concentration. At small length scales, short lignin segments with similar to 4-10 monolignol units associate to form rigid rod-like/cylindrical building blocks, where the number of repeat units in a cylindrical segment decreases with increasing lignin concentration. These cylindrical building blocks associate to form aggregates with low cross-linking densities and a random coil or network like structures from highly branched lignin structures. The degree of branching of the base lignin molecule, which varies with source, plays a crucial role in determining their association behavior. The overall sizes of the aggregates decrease with increasing concentration at low cross-linking densities, whereas the opposite trend is observed for highly branched lignins.

Laser modification physically and chemically altered the natural biopolymer organization of lignocellulosic materials enabling adhesion when subsequently hot pressed using typical industrial equipment. Surface analysis of the modified material revealed that laser modification changed the native wood morphology as it appeared to coalesce, while the hemicelluloses were depolymerized and vaporized, and the surface was enriched with cellulose II and lignin. The latter two materials made up over 90% of the solid surface. The lignin itself was partially depolymerized resulting in enrichment of cinnamyl alcohol end groups, which are structures arising from homolytic cleavage of the beta-O-4 linkages. An adhesion mechanism related to heat induced coupling in the presence of structural polysaccharides was discussed. Laser modification of wood followed by hot pressing provided a bio-based alternative for petroleum and natural gas derived wood adhesives and provides a path towards utilizing cellulose and lignin directly as structural adhesives.

TI Facile synthesis of ultra-small ruthenium oxide nanoparticles anchored on reduced graphene oxide nanosheets for high-performance supercapacitors SO RSC ADVANCES LA English DT Article ID ELECTROCHEMICAL CAPACITORS; HYDROTHERMAL SYNTHESIS; SHEETS; NANOCOMPOSITES; ELECTRODES; STORAGE; RUO2 AB Herein, we report a facile, low cost, and environmentally friendly approach to prepare reduced graphene oxide-ruthenium oxide hybrid (RGO-RuO2) materials for supercapacitor electrode applications by in situ sol-gel deposition of RuO2 nanoparticles on the surface of graphene oxide (GO), followed by a reduction of GO in a strong alkaline medium at a low temperature. The combination of the sol-gel route and the reduction of graphene oxide at low temperatures resulted in ultrafine, hydrated amorphous RuO2 particles with sizes of only 1.0-2.0 nm, which uniformly decorated the surfaces of RGO sheets. The obtained RGO-RuO2 supercapacitor exhibited excellent electrochemical capacitive performance in a 1 M H2SO4 electrolyte with a specific capacitance more than 500 F g(-1) at a current density of 1.0 A g(-1) and high rate performance with the capacitance retention of 86% when the current density was increased 20 times, from 1.0 to 20.0 A g(-1) in a two-electrode test cell configuration. The RGO-RuO2 system also showed good cycling stability with a capacitance retention of 87% after 2000 cycles. The excellent capacitive properties of RGO-RuO2 could be attributed to the uniform anchoring of ultra-small, hydrated amorphous RuO2 nanoparticles on the surface of RGO sheets, resulting in synergistic effects between them. The developed approach represents an exciting direction for enhancing the device performance of the graphene-metal oxide composite supercapacitors and can be used for designing the next generation of energy storage devices.
