We report an ultrafast terahertz study up to 7 THz of the lamellar semiconductor MoS2 to access the non-equilibrium conductivity of photo-excited indirect e-h pairs in this multi-layered parent compound. While the equilibrium transport is Drude-like, near-IR optical excitation results in a complex photo-induced conductivity that consists of two components. Mobile charge carriers dominate the low frequency response below 2 THz, while at low temperatures an additional excess conductivity is observed that is enhanced around 4 THz. Two time scales appear in the dynamics: a slow ns relaxation due to non-radiative recombination and a faster sub-100 ps decay connected to the high-frequency THz feature. We discuss the broad THz peak within a model of intra-excitonic transitions in MoS2. It agrees well with the expected binding energy and oscillator strength, yet results in an anomalous temperature dependence of the exciton fraction requiring an electronically inhomogeneous phase.

We present a multi-oscillator analysis of the phonon bending mode splitting observed at low temperatures in equilibrium, along with a variational model for the transient THz reflectivity variations. The low temperature splitting is directly related to the formation of the long-range stripe-order, while the background conductivity is reminiscent of the opening of the mid-IR pseudogap. Ultrafast experiments in the multi-THz spectral range show strong THz reflectivity variations around the phonon bending mode frequency (approximate to 11 THz).

Several types of multi-hole injectors, a six-hole injector and two two-hole injectors with different needle control mechanisms, were used to investigate the emerging jet flows and related flow breakup at different needle lifts. A short X-ray pulse with 150 ps duration was used to visualize the near-field morphologies of the emerging jet flows using an ultrafast X-ray phase-contrast imaging technique. A few X-ray pulses with 68 ns periodicity were also used to analyze the dynamics of the emerging jet flows by tracking the movement of the structures inside the spray. At first, the effects of needle lift on emerging flow pattern and breakup were investigated using a six-hole injector under practical injection conditions. A highly expanding spray was observed at the low needle lifts. The degree of flow expansion was however suppressed with an increase in the needle lift. The higher degree of flow expansion at the low needle lifts promoted the flow breakup and increased the spray deceleration rate with an increase in the axial distance. Then, a detailed morphological study of the emerging flows was performed using two-hole nozzles under low injection pressures to slow down the flow breakup in order to figure out the intrinsic nature of the emerging flows associated with the nozzle internal flow. The phase-contrast images revealed clear morphologies of several branching flows inside the spray having different flowing directions and stretching the spray three-dimensionally that originate from complex nozzle internal flow pattern. The degree of flow expansion associated with the branching flows appeared differently with the needle lift with formation of various flow structures: cone shaped, stretched thin, and cylindrical. At certain needle lifts, the branching flows sometimes formed a couple of microwavelets inside the spray having different instability frequencies, indicating different origins of each flow associated with nozzle internal flow. Increasing ambient gas density did not alter the branching characteristics of the flows significantly, while increasing injection pressure and reducing the fuel viscosity significantly altered the branching flow characteristics.

TI UNCERTAINTY QUANTIFICATION FOR LIQUID PENETRATION OF EVAPORATING SPRAYS AT DIESEL-LIKE CONDITIONS SO ATOMIZATION AND SPRAYS LA English DT Article DE diesel sprays; evaporation; liquid length; extinction; light scatter ID ENGINE; BEHAVIOR AB Seeking to quantify the liquid volume fraction at the measured liquid penetration length for more forthright comparison to CFD results, we compared 10 different light-scatter and extinction diagnostics for measurement of the "liquid length" of an evaporating diesel spray. Results show that light-scatter imaging is sensitive to the orientation of the illumination source, producing different maximum intensity locations depending on the optical setup. However, the scattered intensity from different setups can be normalized to provide similar liquid length values if the appropriate reference intensity is known. Light-extinction diagnostics are more quantitative because of a built-in reference light intensity, but can be sensitive to beam-steering effects due to refractive index gradients. The most quantitative diagnostic in this study is a small laser beam with large collection optics to accommodate beam steering. Using a liquid length defined based on 3% of the maximum scatter intensity and the measured optical thickness at this same axial location, we estimate an expected range of liquid volume fraction at this position for the "spray A" conditions of the Engine Combustion Network. Even though there is a possibility that this condition has supercritical mixtures where distinct droplets do not exist, we apply Mie scatter theory with a range of droplet diameters (0.1-10 mu m) to mimic how light may scatter at liquid surfaces where density gradients remain sharp and light effectively scatters as if there were a gas-liquid interface. With a measured liquid path length of 1.4 mm, the upper-bound estimate for the path-length-averaged liquid volume fraction is 0.15%. C1 [Pickett, L.

Recently, X-ray radiography experiments of a 500 pin diameter cavitating nozzle showed that the presence of dissolved gas in the fuel can cause significant changes in the apparent distribution of projected void fraction. In this article, the effect of dissolved gas on cavitation measurements is investigated in further detail through experimentation and numerical simulations. Test conditions have been selected to have highly cavitating conditions. Tests with a standard gasoline calibration fluid and equivalent degassed fluid are compared and discussed. Numerical simulations have been conducted under the same conditions as the radiography experiments. The primary goal of the study is a quantification of the separate contributions of gas expansion as opposed to actual cavitation to the measurement of total void fraction. The multiphase flow is represented using a mixture model. Phase change is modeled via the homogeneous relaxation model. Particular attention is paid to quantifying the effective amount of noncondensable gas included in the mixture, in order to predict the response of regular and degassed fuels. The presence of dissolved gas in the multiphase flow is taken into account using a compressible fluid model with three distinct components (liquid, vapor, and gas). Issues surrounding estimation of the effective amount of noncondensable gas are discussed. Numerical simulation results match well with the experiments and indicate that when a sufficient quantity of gas is dissolved in the fuel, a void is evident in the central region of the channel that can be attributed to local expansion of noncondensed gas. Conversely, degassed fuel shows only intense cavitation at the nozzle wall, with very little contribution from noncondensed gas.

TI Audit of the global carbon budget: estimate errors and their impact on uptake uncertainty SO BIOGEOSCIENCES LA English DT Article ID LAND-COVER CHANGE; NET PRIMARY PRODUCTION; ATMOSPHERIC CO2; INTERANNUAL VARIABILITY; SAMPLING-NETWORK; SOUTHERN-OCEAN; DIOXIDE; EMISSIONS; CYCLE; CLIMATE AB Over the last 5 decades monitoring systems have been developed to detect changes in the accumulation of carbon (C) in the atmosphere and ocean; however, our ability to detect changes in the behavior of the global C cycle is still hindered by measurement and estimate errors. Here we present a rigorous and flexible framework for assessing the temporal and spatial components of estimate errors and their impact on uncertainty in net C uptake by the biosphere. We present a novel approach for incorporating temporally correlated random error into the error structure of emission estimates. Based on this approach, we conclude that the 2 sigma uncertainties of the atmospheric growth rate have decreased from 1.2 Pg C yr(-1) in the 1960s to 0.3 Pg C yr(-1) in the 2000s due to an expansion of the atmospheric observation network. The 2 sigma uncertainties in fossil fuel emissions have increased from 0.3 Pg C yr(-1) in the 1960s to almost 1.0 Pg C yr(-1) during the 2000s due to differences in national reporting errors and differences in energy inventories. Lastly, while land use emissions have remained fairly constant, their errors still remain high and thus their global C uptake uncertainty is not trivial. Currently, the absolute errors in fossil fuel emissions rival the total emissions from land use, highlighting the extent to which fossil fuels dominate the global C budget. Because errors in the atmospheric growth rate have decreased faster than errors in total emissions have increased, a similar to 20% reduction in the overall uncertainty of net C global uptake has occurred. Given all the major sources of error in the global C budget that we could identify, we are 93% confident that terrestrial C uptake has increased and 97% confident that ocean C uptake has increased over the last 5 decades. Thus, it is clear that arguably one of the most vital ecosystem services currently provided by the biosphere is the continued removal of approximately half of atmospheric CO2 emissions from the atmosphere, although there are certain environmental costs associated with this service, such as the acidification of ocean waters.

The statistical random-walk nature of photon propagation through turbid media is ideal for computational based modeling and simulation. Ready access to super computing resources provide a means for attaining brute force solutions to stochastic light-matter interactions entailing scattering by facilitating timely propagation of sufficient (>10(7)) photons while tracking characteristic parameters based on the incorporated physics of the problem. One such model that works well for isotropic but fails for anisotropic scatter, which is the case for many biomedical sample scattering problems, is the diffusion approximation. In this report, we address this by utilizing Berry phase (BP) evolution as a means for capturing anisotropic scattering characteristics of samples in the preceding depth where the diffusion approximation fails. We extend the polarization sensitive Monte Carlo method of Ramella-Roman, et al., 1 to include the computationally intensive tracking of photon trajectory in addition to polarization state at every scattering event. To speed-up the computations, which entail the appropriate rotations of reference frames, the code was parallelized using OpenMP. The results presented reveal that BP is strongly correlated to the photon penetration depth, thus potentiating the possibility of polarimetric depth resolved characterization of highly scattering samples, e.g., biological tissues.

Here we report a synthetic iron complex, (Cp-C5F4N) Fe((PNPEt)-N-Et-P-(CH2)3NMe2)(Cl), that serves as a precatalyst for the oxidation of H-2, with turnover frequencies of 290 s(-1) in fluorobenzene, under 1 atm of H-2 using 1,4- diazabicyclo [2.2.2] octane (DABCO) as the exogenous base. The inclusion of a properly tuned outer coordination sphere proton relay results in a cooperative effect between the primary, secondary and outer coordination spheres for moving protons, increasing the rate of H-2 oxidation without increasing the overpotential when compared with the analogous complex featuring a single pendant base. This finding emphasizes the key role of pendant amines in mimicking the functionality of the proton pathway in the hydrogenase enzymes.

TI Azasugar inhibitors as pharmacological chaperones for Krabbe disease SO CHEMICAL SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID GLOBOID-CELL LEUKODYSTROPHY; ENZYME REPLACEMENT THERAPY; LYSOSOMAL STORAGE DISEASES; ACID BETA-GLUCOSIDASE; GALC GENE; GAUCHER-DISEASE; MOLECULAR HETEROGENEITY; ALPHA-GALACTOSIDASE; JAPANESE PATIENTS; IN-VIVO AB Krabbe disease is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder characterized by rapid demyelination of nerve fibers. This disease is caused by defects in the lysosomal enzyme beta-galactocerebrosidase (GALC), which hydrolyzes the terminal galactose from glycosphingolipids. These lipids are essential components of eukaryotic cell membranes: substrates of GALC include galactocerebroside, the primary lipid component of myelin, and psychosine, a cytotoxic metabolite. Mutations of GALC that cause misfolding of the protein may be responsive to pharmacological chaperone therapy (PCT), whereby small molecules are used to stabilize these mutant proteins, thus correcting trafficking defects and increasing residual catabolic activity in cells. Here we describe a new approach for the synthesis of galacto-configured azasugars and the characterization of their interaction with GALC using biophysical, biochemical and crystallographic methods. We identify that the global stabilization of GALC conferred by azasugar derivatives, measured by fluorescence-based thermal shift assays, is directly related to their binding affinity, measured by enzyme inhibition. X-ray crystal structures of these molecules bound in the GALC active site reveal which residues participate in stabilizing interactions, show how potency is achieved and illustrate the penalties of aza/iminosugar ring distortion. The structure-activity relationships described here identify the key physical properties required of pharmacological chaperones for Krabbe disease and highlight the potential of azasugars as stabilizing agents for future enzyme replacement therapies. This work lays the foundation for new drug-based treatments of Krabbe disease.

Various reactions, such as aromatic nucleophilic substitution, Kumada coupling and Suzuki coupling proceed effectively on alpha-positions of the pyridine sites, giving rise to alkoxy, thioalkyl, alkyl or aryl substituted polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. In addition to peripheral group modulation, the aromatic core structures can be altered by annulation with thiophene or benzene ring systems. Corresponding single crystal X-ray diffraction and optical studies indicate that the heteroatom linkages not only impact the solid state packing, but also significantly influence the optoelectronic properties. Moreover, these azacoronene derivatives display significant acid-induced spectroscopic changes, suggesting their great potential as colorimetric and fluorescence proton sensors.

As pulmonary nodules are potential manifestation of lung cancer, we propose a fast and self-adaptive pulmonary nodules segmentation method based on a combination of FCM clustering and classification learning. The enhanced spatial function considers contributions to fuzzy membership from both the grayscale similarity between central pixels and single neighboring pixels and the spatial similarity between central pixels and neighborhood and improves effectively the convergence rate and self-adaptivity of the algorithm. Experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve more accurate segmentation of vascular adhesion, pleural adhesion, and ground glass opacity (GGO) pulmonary nodules than other typical algorithms.

TI The structure of monoclinic Na2B10H10: a combined diffraction, spectroscopy, and theoretical approach SO CRYSTENGCOMM LA English DT Article ID SODIUM; NA; SCATTERING; NA2B12H12; BATTERIES; CRYSTAL; NUCLEAR; RB AB Neutron powder diffraction measurements of a specially synthesized (Na2B10D10)-B-11 compound, buttressed by comparative measurements and calculations of vibrational dynamics, have led to an improved, Rietveld-refined, structural model for its low-temperature monoclinic phase. The detailed atomic arrangements and phases for this compound are important for an understanding of its potential roles for fast-ion-battery and hydrogen-storage applications. A comparison of the calculated phonon densities of states (PDOSs) based on density functional theory for both the previously published structure and our new modified structure show that the PDOS of the latter is in noticeably better agreement with that experimentally observed by neutron vibrational spectroscopy. Moreover, this improved structure is predicted to have a higher stability and exhibits more reasonable separations between all neighboring sodium cations and decahydro-closo-decaborate anions. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of combining first-principles computational methods and neutron-based structural and spectroscopic techniques for determining crystal structures for such complex hydrogenous materials.

Early detection in the food chain, and discrimination from other non-pathogenic Escherichia coli (E. coli), is critical to preventing human outbreaks, and meeting current agricultural screening standards. These pathogens often present in low concentrations in contaminated samples, making discriminatory detection difficult without the use of costly, time-consuming methods (e.g. culture). Using multiple signal transduction schemes (including novel optical methods designed for amphiphiles), specific recognition antibodies, and a waveguide-based optical biosensor developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory, we have developed ultrasensitive detection methods for lipopolysaccharides (LPS), and protein biomarkers (Shiga toxin) of STEC in complex samples (e.g. beef lysates). Waveguides functionalized with phospholipid bilayers were used to pull down amphiphilic LPS, using methods (membrane insertion) developed by our team. The assay format exploits the amphiphilic biochemistry of lipoglycans, and allows for rapid, sensitive detection with a single fluorescent reporter. We have used a combination of biophysical methods (atomic force and fluorescence microscopy) to characterize the interaction of amphiphiles with lipid bilayers, to efficiently design these assays. Sandwich immunoassays were used for detection of protein toxins. Biomarkers were spiked into homogenated ground beef samples to determine performance and limit of detection. Future work will focus on the development of discriminatory antibodies for STEC serotypes, and using quantum dots as the fluorescence reporter to enable multiplex screening of biomarkers.

Laboratory toxicity investigations often yield conservative estimates of toxicity because many standard test species are more sensitive than resident species, thus could provide information useful to the rule-making. However, few laboratory studies of coal ash toxicity are available; most studies reported in the literature are based solely on field investigations. This brief communication describes a broad range of toxicity studies conducted for the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) Kingston ash spill, results of which help provide additional perspective on the toxicity of coal ash.

This article describes the approach used and results of the risk assessment for the fish community, which consists of multiple measurement endpoints (measures of exposure and effects) for fish. The lines of evidence included 1) comparing postspill annual fish community assessments with nearby prespill data and data from other TVA reservoirs, 2) evaluating possible effects of exposures of fish eggs and larval fish to ash in controlled laboratory toxicity tests, 3) evaluating reproductive competence of field-exposed fish, 4) assessing individual fish health through physical examination, histopathology, and blood chemistry, 5) comparing fish tissue concentrations with literature-based critical body residues, and 6) comparing concentrations of ash-related contaminants in surface waters with US Environmental Protection Agency's (USEPA) Ambient Water Quality Standards for Fish and Aquatic Life. These measurement endpoints were treated as independent lines of evidence that were integrated into an overall weight-of-evidence estimate of risk to the fish community. Collectively, the data and analysis presented here indicate that ash and ash-related constituents pose negligible risks to the fish communities in Watts Bar Reservoir. This conclusion contradicts the predictions by some researchers immediately following the ash release of devastating effects on the aquatic ecology of Watts Bar Reservoir. The information presented in this article reaffirms the wisdom of carefully evaluating the evidence before predicting probable ecological effects of a major event such as the TVA Kingston ash release. This study demonstrates that a thorough and detailed investigation using multiple measurement endpoints is needed to properly evaluate ecological effects. Integr Environ Assess Manag 2015;11:88-101.

TI Depth of the Biologically Active Zone in Upland Habitats at the Hanford Site, Washington: Implications for Remediation and Ecological Risk Management SO INTEGRATED ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMENT LA English DT Article DE Biointrusion; Burrowing depth; Hanford Site; Rooting depth; Soil contamination ID FLORIDA HARVESTER ANT; NEST ARCHITECTURE; POGONOMYRMEX-BADIUS; SOCIOGENESIS; SOCIOMETRY; BARRIERS AB Soil invertebrates, mammals, and plants penetrate and exploit the surface soil layer (i.e., the biologically active zone) to varying depths. As the US Department of Energy remediates radioactive and hazardous wastes in soil at the Hanford Site, a site-specific definition of the biologically active zone is needed to identify the depth to which remedial actions should be taken to protect the environment and avoid excessive cleanup expenditures. This definition may then be considered in developing a point of compliance for remediation in accordance with existing regulations. Under the State of Washington Model Toxic Control Act (MTCA), the standard point of compliance for soil cleanup levels with unrestricted land use is 457cm (15ft) below ground surface. When institutional controls are required to control excavations to protect people, MTCA allows a conditional point of compliance to protect biological resources based on the depth of the biologically active zone. This study was undertaken to identify and bound the biologically active zone based on ecological resources present at the Hanford Site. Primary data were identified describing the depths to which ants, mammals, and plants may exploit the surface soil column at the Hanford Site and other comparable locations. The maximum depth observed for harvester ants (Pogonomyrmex spp.) was 270cm (8.9ft), with only trivial excavation below 244cm (8ft). Badgers (Taxidea taxus) are the deepest burrowing mammal at the Hanford Site, with maximum burrow depths of 230cm (7.6ft); all other mammals did not burrow below 122cm (4ft). Shrubs are the deepest rooting plants with rooting depths to 300cm (9.8ft) for antelope bitterbrush (Purshia tridentata). The 2 most abundant shrub species did not have roots deeper than 250cm (8.2ft). The deepest rooted forb had a maximum root depth of 240cm (7.9ft). All other forbs and grasses had rooting depths of 200cm (6.6ft) or less. These data indicate that the biologically active soil zone in the Hanford Central Plateau does not exceed 300cm (9.8ft), the maximum rooting depth for the deepest rooting plant. The maximum depth at which most other plant and animal species occur is substantially shallower. Spatial distribution and density of burrows and roots over depths were also evaluated. Although maximum excavation by harvester ants is 270cm (8.9ft), trivial volume of soil is excavated below 150cm (approximate to 5ft). Maximum rooting depths for all grasses, forbs, and the most abundant and deepest rooting shrubs are 300cm (9.8ft) or less. Most root biomass (>50-80%) is concentrated in the top 100cm (3.3ft), whereas at the maximum depth (9.8ft), only trace root biomass is present. Available data suggest a limited likelihood for significant transport of contaminants to the surface by plants at or below 244cm (8ft), and suggest that virtually all plants or animal species occurring on the Central Plateau have a negligible likelihood for transporting soil contaminants to the surface from depths at or below 305cm (10ft).

The uranium content of these glasses is a linear two-component mixing between isotopically natural uranium and the isotopically depleted spike used in preparing the glasses. Laser ablation results match extremely well, generally within a few ppm, with solution analysis following sample dissolution and chemical separation. In addition to isotopic data, sample utilization efficiency measurements indicate that over 1% of ablated uranium atoms reach a mass spectrometer detector, making this technique extremely efficient. Laser sampling also allows for spatial analysis and our data indicate that rare uranium concentration inhomogeneities exist in NIST 616 glass.

Here, first-principles calculations are performed to study the structural and electronic properties of hybrid graphene and phosphorene nanocomposites. Our calculations show that weak van der Waals interactions dominate between graphene and phosphorene with their intrinsic electronic properties preserved. Furthermore, we found that as the interfacial distance decreases, the Dirac point of graphene moves from the conduction band to the valence band of phosphorene in hybrid graphene and phosphorene nanocomposites, inducing a transition from an n-type Schottky contact to a p-type Schottky contact at the graphene/phosphorene interface.

Shay, Opt. Express, 2006) is extended to include relevant physical properties of the system, such as inherent optical path differences (OPD), line-width and group velocity dispersion (GVD), and we also include phase "jitter" of the master oscillator's output in the model, which in experiments is implemented to induce spectral broadening for suppression of nonlinear frequency conversion. Linearization of the phase error signal, which incorrectly predicts convergence to a synchronous equilibrium state, is not performed. Instead, the closed-loop control dynamics are shown to be described by differential equations of Kuramoto type when phase corrector response dynamics are negligible. Linear stability analysis indicates that there is always one and no more than one dynamically stable state. The latter is shown to be normally synchronous, except when strong "jitter" is applied. A Liapounov function is found as subject to the validity of certain symmetry conditions. C1 [Bochove, Erik] US Air Force, Res Lab, Directed Energy Directorate, Kirtland AFB, NM 87117 USA.

We applied the analysis to a system with arbitrary laser lengths, external cavity design and coupling strengths to the external cavity. The entire system was treated as a single resonator. The effect of the external cavity was modeled by a set of boundary conditions expressed by an N-by-N frequency-dependent matrix relation between incident and reflected fields at the interface with the external cavity. The coupled mode theory can be adapted to various types of gain media and internal and external cavity designs.

In addition to exciting the magnetization precession, an ultrafast laser pulse generates multiple SAW modes whose frequencies are determined by the array pitch. As a result, strong pinning of the magnetization precession frequency at the crossover points with the SAWs is observed over an extended field range. The complex spin wave spectrum can be analyzed in frequency and momentum spaces using finite element analysis emulating generation of SAWs. The magnetic response of the nanomagnets was then correctly reproduced with micromagnetic simulations taking into account additional magnetoelastic energy terms. This finding demonstrates control of the nanomagnet dynamics with the array geometry via magnetoelastic coupling, even when the magnetostatic interaction between the magnets is negligible.

Different water vapor sorption experiments were performed using N-2 or CO2 as carrier gases. If N-2 was used as carrier gas, it was evidenced that Li2CuO2 is able to trap water physically and chemically, producing in the second case Li-OH superficial species. Moreover, when CO2 was used as carrier gas, Li2CuO2 continued trapping water, as in the previous case, but in this case CO2 was mainly trapped, forming Li2CO3 and CuO phases. Additionally, the microstructure changes importantly when CO2 and H2O are chemically trapped in Li2CuO2. Li2CO3 and CuO seemed to segregate changing the morphology and the specific surface area. The Li2CuO2 sample was able to capture up to 6.7 mmoles of CO2 per gram of ceramic at 80 degrees C, a considerably high CO2 amount. Furthermore, all these experiments were theoretically supported by different thermodynamic calculations. Experimental and theoretical results show that H2O acts as a catalytic intermediate, diminishing the activation energy of the whole CO2 chemisorption process. Therefore, the presence of water vapor strongly favored the CO2 chemisorption on Li2CuO2 at moderate temperatures (30-80 degrees C).

TI Automated Design Space Exploration with Aspen SO SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMMING LA English DT Article ID PARALLEL COMPUTATION; ALGORITHM; MODEL; OPTIMIZATION; FUTURE AB Architects and applications scientists often use performance models to explore a multidimensional design space of architectural characteristics, algorithm designs, and application parameters. With traditional performance modeling tools, these explorations forced users to first develop a performance model and then repeatedly evaluate and analyze the model manually. These manual investigations proved laborious and error prone. More importantly, the complexity of this traditional process often forced users to simplify their investigations. To address this challenge of design space exploration, we extend our Aspen (Abstract Scalable Performance Engineering Notation) language with three new language constructs: user-defined resources, parameter ranges, and a collection of costs in the abstract machine model. Then, we use these constructs to enable automated design space exploration via a nonlinear optimization solver. We show how four interesting classes of design space exploration scenarios can be derived from Aspen models and formulated as pure nonlinear programs. The analysis tools are demonstrated using examples based on Aspen models for a three-dimensional Fast Fourier Transform, the CoMD molecular dynamics proxy application, and the DARPA Streaming Sensor Challenge Problem. Our results show that this approach can compose and solve arbitrary performance modeling questions quickly and rigorously when compared to the traditional manual approach.

Cai et al., SIAM J. Numer. Anal., 39 (2001), pp. 1418-1445], in order to retain the full efficiency of the L-2 norm first-order system least-squares (FOSLS) approach while exhibiting the generality of the inverse-norm FOSLS approach. The FOSLL* approach of Cai et al. was applied to the div-curl system with added slack variables, and hence it is quite complicated. In this paper, we apply the FOSLL* approach to the div system and establish its well-posedness. For the corresponding finite element approximation, we obtain a quasi-optimal a priori error bound under the same regularity assumption as the standard Galerkin method, but without the restriction to sufficiently small mesh size. Unlike the FOSLS approach, the FOSLL* approach does not have a free a posteriori error estimator. We then propose an explicit residual error estimator and establish its reliability and efficiency bounds. C1 [Cai, Zhiqiang] Purdue Univ, Dept Math, W Lafayette, IN 47907 USA.

Surfactants constitute a class of biologically relevant compounds that are known to influence both peptide conformation and aggregation or assembly. We have characterized the secondary structure of a linear nonapeptide composed of a hydrophobic alanine/phenylalanine core flanked by hydrophilic acid/amine units. We show that the anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) induces the formation of beta-sheets and macroscopic gelation in this otherwise unstructured peptide. Through comparison to related additives, we propose that SDS-induced secondary structure formation is the result of amphiphilicity created by electrostatic binding of SDS to the peptide. In addition, we demonstrate a novel utility of surfactants in manipulating and stabilizing peptide nanostructures. SDS is used to simultaneously induce secondary structure in a peptide and to inhibit the activity of a model enzyme, resulting in a peptide hydrogel that is impervious to enzymatic degradation. These results complement our understanding of the behavior of peptides in the presence of interacting secondary molecules and provide new potential pathways for programmable organization of peptides by the addition of such components.

The source incorporates a dual ion funnel, which enables operation with a higher gas load through an expanded diameter heated inlet into the additional first region of differential pumping. This capability allowed us to examine the effect of the inner diameter (ID) of the heated stainless steel inlet on the total ion current transmitted through the dual funnel interface and, more importantly, the mass-selected ion current delivered to the deposition target. The ion transmission of the dual funnel is similar to the transmission of the single funnel used in our previous soft landing studies. However, substantially higher ion currents were obtained using larger ID heated inlets and an orthogonal inlet geometry, in which the heated inlet was positioned perpendicular to the direction of ion propagation through the instrument. The highest ion currents were obtained using the orthogonal geometry and a 1.4 mm ID heated inlet. The corresponding stable deposition rate of similar to 1 mu g of mass-selected ions per day will facilitate future studies focused on the controlled deposition of complex molecules on substrates for studies in catalysis, energy storage, and self-assembly.

TI Transport of anthropogenic and biomass burning aerosols from Europe to the Arctic during spring 2008 SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID POLARCAT SUMMER CAMPAIGN; NORTH-AMERICA; AIR-POLLUTION; ATMOSPHERIC AEROSOLS; CLOUD MICROPHYSICS; OPTICAL-PROPERTIES; ORGANIC-COMPOUNDS; BLACK CARBON; MODEL; EMISSIONS AB During the POLARCAT-France airborne campaign in April 2008, pollution originating from anthropogenic and biomass burning emissions was measured in the European Arctic. We compare these aircraft measurements with simulations using the WRF-Chem model to investigate model representation of aerosols transported from Europe to the Arctic. Modeled PM2.5 is evaluated using European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme (EMEP) measurements in source regions and POLARCAT aircraft measurements in the Scandinavian Arctic. Total PM2.5 agrees well with the measurements, although the model overestimates nitrate and underestimates organic carbon in source regions. Using WRF-Chem in combination with the Lagrangian model FLEXPART-WRF, we find that during the campaign the research aircraft sampled two different types of European plumes: mixed anthropogenic and fire plumes from eastern Europe and Russia transported below 2 km, and anthropogenic plumes from central Europe uplifted by warm conveyor belt circulations to 5-6 km. Both modeled plume types had undergone significant wet scavenging (> 50% PM10) during transport. Modeled aerosol vertical distributions and optical properties below the aircraft are evaluated in the Arctic using airborne lidar measurements. Model results show that the pollution event transported aerosols into the Arctic (> 66.6 degrees N) for a 4-day period. During this 4-day period, biomass burning emissions have the strongest influence on concentrations between 2.5 and 3 km altitudes, while European anthropogenic emissions influence aerosols at both lower (similar to 1.5 km) and higher altitudes (similar to 4.5 km). As a proportion of PM2.5, modeled black carbon and SO4= concentrations are more enhanced near the surface in anthropogenic plumes. The European plumes sampled during the POLARCAT-France campaign were transported over the region of springtime snow cover in northern Scandinavia, where they had a significant local atmospheric warming effect. We find that, during this transport event, the average modeled top-of-atmosphere (TOA) shortwave direct and semi-direct radiative effect (DSRE) north of 60 degrees N over snow and ice-covered surfaces reaches +0.58W m(-2), peaking at +3.3W m(-2) at noon over Scandinavia and Finland.

TI Modeling the impact of agricultural land use and management on US carbon budgets SO BIOGEOSCIENCES LA English DT Article ID SOIL ORGANIC-CARBON; RESIDUE REMOVAL; NITROGEN-FERTILIZATION; UNITED-STATES; CORN STOVER; CROP; SEQUESTRATION; DYNAMICS; TILLAGE; CLIMATE AB Cultivation of the terrestrial land surface can create either a source or sink of atmospheric CO2, depending on land management practices. The Community Land Model (CLM) provides a useful tool for exploring how land use and management impact the soil carbon pool at regional to global scales. CLM was recently updated to include representation of managed lands growing maize, soybean, and spring wheat. In this study, CLM-Crop is used to investigate the impacts of various management practices, including fertilizer use and differential rates of crop residue removal, on the soil organic carbon (SOC) storage of croplands in the continental United States over approximately a 170-year period. Results indicate that total US SOC stocks have already lost over 8 Pg C (10 %) due to land cultivation practices (e.g., fertilizer application, cultivar choice, and residue removal), compared to a land surface composed of native vegetation (i.e., grasslands). After long periods of cultivation, individual subgrids (the equivalent of a field plot) growing maize and soybean lost up to 65% of the carbon stored compared to a grassland site. Crop residue management showed the greatest effect on soil carbon storage, with low and medium residue returns resulting in additional losses of 5 and 3.5 %, respectively, in US carbon storage, while plots with high residue returns stored 2% more carbon. Nitrogenous fertilizer can alter the amount of soil carbon stocks significantly. Under current levels of crop residue return, not applying fertilizer resulted in a 5% loss of soil carbon. Our simulations indicate that disturbance through cultivation will always result in a loss of soil carbon, and management practices will have a large influence on the magnitude of SOC loss.

Most TMD bulk crystals are van der Waals solids with strong bonding within the plane but weak interlayer bonding. The individual layers can be readily isolated. Single layer TMDs possess intriguing properties that are ideal for both fundamental and technologically relevant research studies. We review the structure and phases of single and few layered TMDs. We also describe recent progress in phase engineering in TMDs. The ability to tune the chemistry by choosing a unique combination of transition metals and chalcogen atoms along with controlling their properties by phase engineering allows new functionalities to be realized with TMDs.

Because the number of photoelectrons produced at the detector surface depends on the photon energy, these detectors offer the possibility of spectral imaging. In this work, a statistical model of the instrument response is used to calibrate the detector on a per-pixel basis. In turn, the calibrated sensor was used to perform separation of dual-energy diffraction measurements into two monochromatic images. Targeting applications include multi-wavelength diffraction to aid in protein structure determination and X-ray diffraction imaging.

Model-based iterative reconstruction (MBIR) could in principle exploit such redundancies through the selection of a log prior probability term. However, in practice, determining such a log prior term that accounts for the similarity between distant structures in the image is quite challenging. Much progress has been made in the development of denoising algorithms like non-local means and BM3D, and these are known to successfully capture non-local redundancies in images. But the fact that these denoising operations are not explicitly formulated as cost functions makes it unclear as to how to incorporate them in the MBIR framework. In this paper, we formulate a solution to bright field electron tomography by augmenting the existing bright field MBIR method to incorporate any non-local denoising operator as a prior model. We accomplish this using a framework we call plug-and-play priors that decouples the log likelihood and the log prior probability terms in the MBIR cost function. We specifically use 3D non-local means (NLM) as the prior model in the plug-and-play framework, and showcase high quality tomographic reconstructions of a simulated aluminum spheres dataset, and two real datasets of aluminum spheres and ferritin structures. We observe that streak and smear artifacts are visibly suppressed, and that edges are preserved. Also, we report lower RMSE values compared to the conventional MBIR reconstruction using qGGMRF as the prior model.

Recently, this technique was applied to detecting subtle perturbations in the structure of cellular membranes following nanosecond pulsed electric field (nsPEF) exposure. Monitoring the cell's outer membrane as it is exposed to nsPEF via SHG has demonstrated that nanoporation is likely the root cause for size-specific, increased cytoplasmic membrane permeabilization. It is theorized that the area of the membrane covered by these pores is tied to pulse intensity or duration. The extent of this effect along the cell's surface, however, has never been measured due to its temporal brevity and minute pore size. By enhancing the SHG technique developed and elucidated previously, we are able to obtain this information. Further, we vary the pulse width and amplitude of the applied stimulus to explore the mechanical changes of the membrane at various sites around the cell. By using this unique SHG imaging technique to directly visualize the change in order of phospholipids within the membrane, we are able to better understand the complex response of living cells to electric pulses.

We estimate the transfer barrier-height to be about 20 kcal mol(-1) with a hydride transfer rate in the order of seconds at room temperature. We validate our DFT-MD modelling using inelastic neutron scattering which reveals anharmonicity of the hydride environment that is so pronounced that there is complete failure of the harmonic model for the hydride ligand.

In the intermediate phase, a spin state concentration wave (SSCW) appears resulting from a symmetry breaking (cell doubling) associated with a long-range order of alternating high and low spin molecular states. By combining time-resolved optical and X-ray diffraction measurements on a single crystal, we study how such a system responds to femtosecond laser excitation and we follow in real time the erasing and rewriting of the SSCW.

The process entails the conversion of multifunctional oxygenates generated from biomass pyrolysis over a metal oxide catalyst into ketonic-rich monofunctional molecules suitable for making hydrocarbon fuel components for gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. A number of catalysts were explored, for example, anatase TiO2 nanorods, CeOx-TiO2 mixed oxides, pure CeO2, ZrO2, and MgO. Under pyrolysis conditions, ceria-based catalysts were effective in the conversion of hydroxy-carbonyls, anhydrosugars, and carboxylic acids into acetone, 2-butanone, pentanones, C6/C7 ketones, cyclopentanone, and 2-cyclopentenones. The highest carbon yield (23.5%) of ketonic precursors was achieved on the pure CeO2. C1 [Mante, Ofei D.; Babu, Suresh P.] Brookhaven Natl Lab, Sustainable Energy Technol Dept, Upton, NY 11973 USA.

A Py-GC/MS study was employed to investigate the effect of torrefaction temperatures (225, 250 and 275 degrees C) and residence times (15, 30 and 45 min) on product distribution from non-catalytic and H(+)ZSM-5 catalyzed pyrolysis of pinewood. During torrefaction, structural transformations in biomass constitutive polymers: hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin took place, which were evaluated using component analysis, solid state CP/MAS C-13 NMR and XRD techniques. Torrefaction caused deacetylation and decomposition of hemicellulose, cleavage of aryl ether linkages and demethoxylation of lignin, degradation of cellulose and an overall increase in aromaticity of biomass, all of which affected the product yield from pyrolysis of torrefied biomass. For non-catalytic pyrolysis, selectivity of phenolic compounds increased with an increase in torrefaction severity while that of furan compounds decreased. In the case of catalytic pyrolysis, the sample torrefied at 225 degrees C-30 min and 250 degrees C-15 min resulted in a significant increase in aromatic hydrocarbon (HC) and also total carbon yield (approx. 1.6 times higher) as compared to catalytic pyrolysis of non-torrefied pine. Cleavage of aryl ether linkages and demethoxylation in lignin due to torrefaction caused increased yield of phenolic compounds, which in the presence of a catalyst were dehydrated to form aromatic HC.

These hydroprocessing tests showed promising results using catalytic hydroprocessing strategies developed for unfractionated Bio-oil. A sulfided base metal catalyst (CoMo on Al2O3) was evaluated. The bed of catalyst was operated at 400 degrees C in a continuous-flow reactor at a pressure of 12.1 MPa with flowing hydrogen. The condensed liquid products were analyzed and found that the hydrocarbon liquid was significantly hydrotreated so that nitrogen and sulfur were below the level of detection (<0.05), while the residual oxygen ranged from 0.7 to 1.2%. The density of the products varied from 0.71 g mL(-1) up to 0.79 g mL(-1) with a correlated change of the hydrogen to carbon atomic ratio from 2.1 down to 1.9. The product quality remained high throughout the extended tests suggesting minimal loss of catalyst activity through the test. These tests provided the data needed to assess the quality of liquid fuel products obtained from the bioCRACK process as well as the activity of the catalyst for comparison with products obtained from hydrotreated fast pyrolysis Bio-oils from fluidized-bed operation.

Although remote sensing provides extensive data, its resolution is yet not sufficient for scientific research focusing on small spatial scale landscape variations. We are interested in exploiting high resolution image data to observe and investigate the landscape variations at a small spatial scale arctic corridor in Barrow, AK, as part of the DOE Next-Generation Ecosystem Experiments (NGEE-Arctic). A 35 m transect is continuously imaged by two separate pole mounted consumer grade stationary cameras, one capturing in NIR and the other capturing in visible range, starting from June to August in 2014. Surface and subsurface features along this 35 m transect are also sampled by electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), temperature loggers and water content reflectometers. We track the behavioral change along this transect by collecting samples from the pole images and look for a relation between the image features and electrical conductivity. Results show that the correlation coefficient between inferred vegetation indices and soil electrical resistivity (closely related to water content) increased during the growing season, reaching a correlation of 0.89 at the peak of the vegetation. To extrapolate such results to a larger scale, we use a high resolution RGB map of a 500x40 m corridor at this site, which is occasionally obtained using a low-altitude kite mounted consumer grade (RGB) camera. We introduce a segmentation algorithm that operates on the mosaic generated from the kite images to classify the landscape features of the corridor.

These are challenging problems for image processing because of the variability in object appearance that inevitably arises in real world image acquisition and analysis. One of the most promising (and practical) ways to address these challenges is interactive image segmentation. These algorithms are designed to incorporate input from a human operator to tailor the segmentation method to the image at hand. Interactive image segmentation is now a key tool in a wide range of applications in microscopy and elsewhere. Historically, interactive image segmentation algorithms have tailored segmentation on an image-by-image basis, and information derived from operator input is not transferred between images. But recently there has been increasing interest to use machine learning in segmentation to provide interactive tools that accumulate and learn from the operator input over longer periods of time. These new learning algorithms reduce the need for operator input over time, and can potentially provide a more dynamic balance between customization and automation for different applications. This paper reviews the state of the art in this area, provides a unified view of these algorithms, and compares the segmentation performance of various design choices.

The efficiency of perovskite-based solar cells has increased rapidly, from 3.8% in 2009 to 19.3% in 2014, by using the all-solid-state thin-film architecture and engineering cell structures with mixed-halide perovskites. The emergence of perovskite solar cells revolutionized the field not only because of their rapidly increased efficiency, but also flexibility in material growth and architecture. The superior performance of the perovskite solar cells suggested that perovskite materials possess intrinsically unique properties. In this review, we summarize recent theoretical investigations into the structural, electrical, and optical properties of halide perovskite materials in relation to their applications in solar cells. We also discuss some current challenges of using perovskites in solar cells, along with possible theoretical solutions.

In this three-step method, a thermally unstable stoichiometric PbI2 center dot CH3NH3Cl precursor film is first deposited on the mesoporous TiO2 substrate, followed by thermal decomposition to form PbI2, which is finally converted into CH3NH3PbI3 by dipping in a regular isopropanol solution of CH3NH3I at room temperature. In comparison to the two-step approach using similar processing conditions, the three-step method enables the formation of the PbI2 film through the thermal decomposition of the PbI2 center dot CH3NH3Cl precursor film. This facilitates a rapid conversion of PbI2 to CH3NH3PbI3 without any traceable residue PbI2 in the final conversion step, leading to an improved device performance.

TI Growth control of compact CH3NH3PbI3 thin films via enhanced solid-state precursor reaction for efficient planar perovskite solar cells SO Journal of Materials Chemistry A LA English DT Article ID VAPOR-DEPOSITION; HOLE-CONDUCTOR; HETEROJUNCTION; IODIDE; CHEMISTRY; LENGTHS; LIGHT AB CH3NH3PbI3 (MAPbI(3)) perovskite thin films that are solution-processed using either a one-step or two-step conventional method typically contain a significant number of defects (voids, pinholes) or PbI2 impurities, which have a detrimental effect on the performance of planar perovskite solar cells (PSCs) fabricated using those films. To overcome this issue, we show that enhancement of the solid-state reaction between inorganic-organic precursors is an effective route for the growth of compact, phase-pure MAPbI(3) perovskite thin films with no voids or pinholes. To ensure uniform solid-state conversion (MAI + PbI2 -> MAPbI(3)) across the entire film thickness, a new successive spin coating/annealing (SSCA) process is used, where MAI is repeatedly infiltrated into a nanoporous PbI2 film, followed by thermal annealing. The mechanisms involved in the SSCA process are elucidated by monitoring the evolution of the phases during the reaction. Owing to these desirable characteristics (high-purity, full-coverage, enhanced smoothness and compactness) of the SSCA MAPbI(3) films, planar PSCs based on these perovskite thin films delivered a maximum power conversion efficiency (PCE) close to 15%. Furthermore, PSCs fabricated using partially converted nanoporous PbI2 thin films delivered a surprising PCE approaching 10%, suggesting continuous MAPbI(3) phase formation throughout the entire film at each spin coating/annealing process. The advantages gained from enhancing the solid-state precursor reactions allow better control of the growth of the perovskite making the SSCA process more robust.

Metalloporphyrins and metallophthalocyanines are visible light absorbers with extremely large extinction coefficients. However, yields of photochemically-generated active catalysts for CO2 reduction are typically low owing to the requirement of a second photoinduced electron. This requirement is not relevant to the case of electrochemical CO2 reduction. Recent progress on efficient and stable electrochemical systems includes the use of FeTPP catalysts that have prepositioned phenyl OH groups in their second coordination spheres. This has led to remarkable progress in carrying out coupled proton-electron transfer reactions for CO2 reduction. Such ground-breaking research has to be continued in order to produce renewable fuels in an economically feasible manner.

TI Critical Link between Materials Chemistry and Cell-Level Design for High Energy Density and Low Cost Lithium-Sulfur Transportation Battery SO JOURNAL OF THE ELECTROCHEMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID S BATTERIES; POLYSULFIDE SHUTTLE; CARBON NANOFIBERS; ELECTROLYTE; PERFORMANCE; CAPACITY; CATHODE; SPECTROSCOPY; STABILITY; LIFE AB A materials-to-system analysis for the lithium-sulfur (Li-S) electric vehicle battery is presented that identifies the key electrode and cell design considerations from reports of materials chemistry. The resulting systems-level energy density, specific energy and battery price as a function of these parameters is projected. Excess lithium metal amount at the anode and useable specific capacity, electrolyte volume fraction, sulfur to carbon ratio and reaction kinetics at the cathode are all shown to be critical for the high energy density and low cost requirements. Electrode loading is determined as a key parameter to relate the battery price for useable energy to the investigated design considerations. The presented analysis proposes that electrode loadings higher than 8 mAh/cm(2) (similar to 7 mg S/cm(2)) are necessary for Li-S systems to exhibit the high energy density and low cost required for transportation applications. Stabilizing the interface of lithium metal at the required current densities and areal capacities while simultaneously maintaining cell capacity with high sulfur loading in an electrolyte starved cathode are identified as the key barriers for ongoing research and development efforts to address.

Composite electrodes incorporating silicon have additional complexity, as active material is attached to surrounding material which must likewise experience significant volume change. In this paper, a finite-deformation model is used to explore, for the first time, mechanical interactions between a silicon particle undergoing lithium insertion, and attached binder material. Simulations employ an axisymmetric model system in which solutions vary in two spatial directions and shear stresses develop at interfaces between materials. The mechanical response of the amorphous active material is dependent on lithium concentration, and an equation of state incorporating reported volume expansion data is used. Simulations explore the influence of active material size and binder stiffness, and suggest delamination as an additional mode of material damage. Computed strain energies and von Mises equivalent stresses are in physically-relevant ranges, comparable to reported yield stresses and adhesion energies, and predicted trends are largely consistent with reported experimental results. It is hoped that insights from this work will support the design of more robust silicon composite electrodes. (C) The Author(s) 2015. Published by ECS.

A feasible approach is designing 3D electrode architectures where lithium ion transport in the electrolyte and active material can be optimized for improving the energy/power density. In this study, the influence of active material morphology and 3D electrode configurations is investigated with particular emphasis on solid-state transport and resulting implications on the performance. A morphology-detailed computational modeling is presented which simulates lithium transport in disparate 3D electrode configurations. The resulting lithium concentration in the 3D electrode constructs during discharging, relaxation, and charging process reveal a local sate of charge map. This is correlated with the electrode performance. This study demonstrates the role of active particle morphology and 3D architecture on the electrode relaxation behavior, which determines the resulting concentration gradient and performance.

TI Efficient Simulation and Model Reformulation of Two-Dimensional Electrochemical Thermal Behavior of Lithium-Ion Batteries SO JOURNAL OF THE ELECTROCHEMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID GENERAL ENERGY-BALANCE; HEAT-GENERATION; CAPACITY FADE; LITHIUM/POLYMER BATTERY; MATHEMATICAL-MODEL; POLYMER BATTERIES; STRESS GENERATION; MANGANESE OXIDE; INSERTION CELL; SYSTEMS AB Lithium-ion batteries are an important technology to facilitate efficient energy storage and enable a shift from petroleum based energy to more environmentally benign sources. Such systems can be utilized most efficiently if good understanding of performance can be achieved for a range of operating conditions. Mathematical models can be useful to predict battery behavior to allow for optimization of design and control, An analytical solution is ideally preferred to solve the equations of a mathematical model, as it eliminates the error that arises when using numerical techniques and is usually computationally cheap. An analytical solution provides insight into the behavior of the system and also explicitly shows the effects of different parameters on the behavior. However, most engineering models, including the majority of battery models, cannot be solved analytically due to non-linearities in the equations and state dependent transport and kinetic parameters. The numerical method used to solve the system of equations describing a battery operation can have a significant impact on the computational cost of the simulation. In this paper, a model reformulation of the porous electrode pseudo three dimensional (P3D) which significantly reduces the computational cost of lithium ion battery simulation, while maintaining high accuracy, is discussed. This reformulation enables the use of the P3D model into applications that would otherwise be too computationally expensive to justify its use, such as online control, optimization, and parameter estimation. Furthermore, the P3D model has proven to be robust enough to allow for the inclusion of additional physical phenomena as understanding improves. In this paper, the reformulated model is used to allow for more complicated physical phenomena to be considered for study, including thermal effects. (C) The Author(s) 2015. Published by ECS.

However, the advantages in energy density and cost are offset, in part, due to the phenomena of voltage fade. Specifically, the voltage profiles (voltage as a function of capacity) of LMR cathodes transform from a high energy configuration to a lower energy configuration as they are repeatedly charged (Li removed) and discharged (Li inserted). We propose a physical model of voltage fade that accounts for the emergence of a low voltage Li phase due to the introduction of transition metal ion defects within a parent Li phase. The phenomenological model was re-cast in a general form and experimental LMR charge profiles were de-convoluted to extract the evolutionary behavior of various components of LMR capacitance profiles. Evolution of the voltage fade component was found to follow a universal growth curve with a maximal voltage fade capacity of approximate to 120% of the initial total capacity. (C) The Author(s) 2015.

TI Efficient Conservative Reformulation Schemes for Lithium Intercalation SO JOURNAL OF THE ELECTROCHEMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID SOLID-PHASE DIFFUSION; APPROXIMATE SOLUTION METHODS; MODEL DEVELOPMENT; POROUS-ELECTRODE; STATE DIFFUSION; INSERTION CELL; BATTERIES; DISCHARGE; DYNAMICS; EQUATION AB Porous electrode theory coupled with transport and reaction mechanisms is a widely used technique to model Li-ion batteries employing an appropriate discretization or approximation for solid phase diffusion with electrode particles. One of the major difficulties in simulating Li-ion battery models is the need to account for solid phase diffusion in a second radial dimension r, which increases the computation time/cost to a great extent. Various methods that reduce the computational cost have been introduced to treat this phenomenon, but most of them do not guarantee mass conservation. The aim of this paper is to introduce an inherently mass conserving yet computationally efficient method for solid phase diffusion based on Lobatto III A quadrature. This paper also presents coupling of the new solid phase reformulation scheme with a macro-homogeneous porous electrode theory based pseudo 20 model for Li-ion battery. (C) The Author(s) 2015.

TI Detecting Trihalomethanes Using Nanoporous-Carbon Coated Surface-Acoustic-Wave Sensors SO JOURNAL OF THE ELECTROCHEMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID PURGE-AND-TRAP; SAMPLING-GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY; DRINKING-WATER; CHEMICAL MICROSENSORS; ADSORPTION; DEVICES; FILMS; HYDROCARBONS; EXTRACTION AB We study nanoporous-carbon (NPC) grown via pulsed laser deposition (PLD) as a sorbent coating on 96.5-MHz surface-acoustic-wave (SAW) devices to detect trihalomethanes (THMs), regulated by products from the chemical treatment of drinking water. Using both insertion-loss and isothermal-response measurements from known quantities of chloroform, the highest vapor pressure THM, we optimize the NPC mass-density at 1.05 +/- 0.08 g/cm(3) by controlling the background argon pressure during PLD. Precise THM quantities in a chlorobenzene solvent are directly injected into a separation column and detected as the phase-angle shift of the SAW device output compared to the drive signal. Using optimized NPC-coated SAWs, we study the chloroform response as a function of operating temperatures ranging from 10-50 degrees C. Finally, we demonstrate individual responses from complex mixtures of all four THMs, with masses ranging from 10-2000 ng, after gas chromatography separation. Estimates for each THM detection limit using a simple peak-height response evaluation are 4.4 ng for chloroform and 1 ng for bromoform; using an integrated-peak area response analysis improves the detection limits to 0.73 ng for chloroform and 0.003 ng bromoform.

One of the drawbacks of all the reported procedures to synthesize MNC electrocatalysts is the inability to control the nitrogen content. Since the type of nitrogen present (pyridinic, pyrrolic, quaternary/graphitic) and their proportions both play a seminal role in deciding the ORR activity of the electrocatalyst. it is important to carefully study the effect of nitrogen content on electrocatalyst properties. In this study, selenium was used as a ligand to replace the nitrogen coordinated to the iron atom in the electrocatalyst, thereby imparting control on the nitrogen content. Upon introducing 14 at% of selenium, the N content of the catalyst dropped 10 3.7 wt% and the ORR activity reached a maximum of 7.2 mA cm(-2) at 0.8 V vs. RHE. We demonstrated the need for iron to complete the active site: upon complexing the iron site with bipyridine, ethylene diammine and oxalic acid in IN H2SO4, the overpotential toward the ORR increased by similar to 60 mV, similar to 140 mV and similar to 140 mV respectively at 2 mA cm(-2).

Substantial inhibition of HOR was taking place at the platinum-ATM-PP interface due to the possible cationic group adsorption of ATM-PP, whereas the reaction was virtually unaffected at the platinum-M-Nafion-FA-TMG interface after high anodic potential preconditioning. Moreover, the apparent ORR activity of platinum coated with M-Nafion-FA-TMG was found higher than that in 0.1 M tetra methyl guanidinium solution. In addition, the oxygen permeability of M-Nafion-FA-TMG was found to be similar to 2.5 times higher than that of ATM-PP. The above properties of the perfluorinated polymer make it a very promising ionomeric binder for the use in both anode and cathode of alkaline membrane fuel cells. (C) The Author(s) 2015.

This approach exploits the intrinsic optical sectioning function when exciting tissue fluorescence from superficial layers to generate images similar to those obtainable from a physically thin-sectioned tissue specimen. UV light in the spectral range from roughly 240-275 nm penetrates only a few microns into the surface of biological specimens, thus eliminating out-of-focus signals that would otherwise arise from deeper tissue layers. Furthermore, UV excitation can be used to simultaneously excite fluorophores emitting across a wide spectral range. The sectioning property of the UV light (as opposed to more conventional illumination in the visible range) removes the need for physical or more elaborate optical sectioning approaches, such as confocal, nonlinear or coherent tomographic methods, to generate acceptable axial resolution. Using a tunable laser, we investigated the effect of excitation wavelength in the 230-350 nm spectral range on excitation depth. The results reveal an optimal wavelength range and suggest that this method can be a fast and reliable approach for rapid imaging of tissue specimens. Some of this range is addressable by currently available and relatively inexpensive LED light sources. MUSE may prove to be a good alternative to conventional, time-consuming, histopathology procedures.

In this study, in order to disentangle the complex nature of electrodes composed of electroactive powders, an electrochemical reduction of individual particles of Ag2VO2PO4 was conducted, to more directly probe the intrinsic materials properties of Ag2VO2PO4. Specifically, individual particle conductivity data from a nanoprobe system combined with SEM and optical imaging results revealed that the depth of discharge within an Ag2VO2PO4 particle is closely linked to the conductivity increase. Notably, the formation of silver metal may affect both inter-and intraparticle conductivity of the Ag2VO2PO4 material.

NR data are analyzed to quantify the a-Si thickness and composition at various states of charge over six cycles. The a-Si anode expands and contracts upon lithiation and delithiation, respectively, while maintaining its integrity and low interfacial roughness (<= 1.6 nm) throughout the cycling. The apparently non-linear expansion of the a-Si layer volume versus lithium content agrees with previous thin-film a-Si anode studies. However, a proposed pore collapse and regrowth (PCRG) mechanism establishes that the solid domains in the porous LixSi film expand linearly with Li content at 8.48 cm(3) mol(-1) Li, similar to crystalline Si. In the PCRG model, porosity is first consumed by expansion of solid domains upon lithiation, after which the film as a whole expands. Porosity is reestablished at 5-28% upon delithiation. Data show that the alumina protective layer on the a-Si film functions as an effective artificial solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), maintaining its structural integrity, low interfacial roughness, and relatively small transport resistance. No additional spontaneously-formed SEI is observed in this study. C1 [DeCaluwe, S. C.] Colorado Sch Mines, Dept Mech Engn, Golden, CO 80401 USA. [DeCaluwe, S. C.; Dura, J.

Yet, it is notoriously difficult to isolate specific vibrational features in the spectra of proteins. Given an appropriately chosen model peptide, and using different experimental conditions, we can simplify the system and gain useful insights into the protein vibrational properties. Combining neutron scattering, depolarized light scattering, and molecular dynamics simulations, we analyse the low frequency vibrations of biological molecules, comparing the results from a small globular protein, lysozyme, and an amphiphilic peptide, NALMA, both in solution and in powder states. Lysozyme and NALMA present similar spectral features in the frequency range between 1 and 10 THz. With the aid of MD simulations, we assign the spectral features to methyl groups' librations (1-5 THz) and hindered torsions (5-10 THz) in NALMA. Our data also show that, while proteins display boson peak vibrations in both powder and solution forms, NALMA exhibits boson peak vibrations in powder form only. This provides insight into the nature of this feature, suggesting a connection of BP collective motions to a characteristic length scale of heterogeneities present in the system. These results provide context for the use of model peptide systems to study protein dynamics; demonstrating both their utility, and the great care that has to be used in extrapolating results observed in powder to solutions.

Recent studies, however, have emphasized the crucial role of amorphousness in producing competitively good performances in photochemical applications. In this work we have investigated for the first time the effects of various dopants (B, C, N and F) on charge carrier transport in amorphous titanium dioxide (a-TiO2), given that doping is a common technique used to tune the electronic properties of semiconductors, and that the existence of these impurities could also be unintentionally introduced during the synthesis process. The a-TiO2 model was obtained using a classical molecular dynamics method, followed by density-functional theory calculations (DFT + U, with Hubbard correction term U) on electronic structures and defect states. The formation of these impurity defects in a-TiO2 was found to be energetically more favorable by several eV than their crystal counterparts (in rutile). The contributions of these defect states to the charge transfer processes were examined by means of Marcus theory.

In this paper, a carboxylate-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotube supported bimetallic platinum-cobalt nanoparticles catalyst was synthesized using a simple one-step ultrasonic method. Electrochemical experiments showed that this catalyst exhibited excellent electrocatalytic activity in acid solution for the oxygen reduction reaction.

The as-prepared catalyst also presented a high mass activity. Additionally, it showed a four-electron reduction pathway for the oxygen reduction reaction and exhibited better stability (about 82.8% current density was maintained) than platinum/carbon during the current durability test.

Such methods are accurate, but have the limitations of high cost and posing additional health risks to patients. In this study, we introduce an alternative computer aided diagnostic tool that can locate malignant sites caused by tumorigenesis in a non-invasive and low-cost way. Our hypothesis is that exhaled aerosol distribution is unique to lung structure and is sensitive to airway structure variations. With appropriate approaches, it is possible to locate the disease site, determine the disease severity, and subsequently formulate a targeted drug delivery plan to treat the disease. This study numerically evaluated the feasibility of the proposed breath test in an image-based lung model with varying pathological stages of a bronchial squamous tumor. Large eddy simulations and a Lagrangian tracking approach were used to model respiratory airflows and aerosol dynamics. Respirations of tracer aerosols of 1 mu m at a flow rate of 20 L/min were simulated, with the distributions of exhaled aerosols recorded on a filter at the mouth exit. Aerosol patterns were quantified with multiple analytical techniques such as concentration disparity, spatial scanning and fractal analysis. We demonstrated that a growing bronchial tumor induced notable variations in both the airflow and exhaled aerosol distribution. These variations became more apparent with increasing tumor severity. The exhaled aerosols exhibited distinctive pattern parameters such as spatial probability, fractal dimension, and multifractal spectrum. Results of this study show that morphometric measures of the exhaled aerosol pattern can be used to detect and monitor the pathological states of respiratory diseases in the upper airway. The proposed breath test also has the potential to locate the site of the disease, which is critical in developing a personalized, site-specific drug delivery protocol.

TI A COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS MODEL OF ALGAL GROWTH: DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION SO TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASABE LA English DT Article DE Algae; Biofuels; Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) ID RACEWAY; PHOTOSYNTHESIS; MICROALGAE; RADIATION; PH AB Biofuels derived from algae are becoming an increasingly viable alternative to petroleum-based fuels; however, research and development in the field must continue to advance the technology before biofuels can be produced in an economical and environmentally friendly manner. Unlike with photobioreactors, there is no generally accepted model for evaluating the growth of algae in open raceways because algal growth involves a large number of variables. For this reason, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) could prove to be a valuable and effective tool for the design, optimization, and operation of large-scale raceway ponds under local environmental conditions. CFD can elucidate and quantify the complex sets of variables that govern heat, mass, and flow patterns within the pond and provide spatiotemporal data concerning algal concentration and other water quality variables, such as light and temperature. The corresponding outcomes will enable designers to create more efficient ponds and more accurately predict growth under a variety of scenarios, as well as optimize the pond's operation in order to produce the maximum amount of biomass possible within a given locality. The present study focuses on developing user-defined functions capable of capturing key parameters, verifying the CFD outcomes against existing experimental data, providing computational solutions, and assessing the sensitivity of the model.

Many approaches are being explored to enhance the antifriction and antiwear properties of sliding machine components. In this study, the antifriction and antiwear properties of carbon spheres, synthesized from plastic waste by an autogenic process, were investigated as an additive to a poly-alpha-olefin (PAO-4 grade) oil. When dispersed at 1 wt% concentration, the carbon spheres reduced both friction and wear under boundary-lubricated sliding conditions. In particular, the reduction in wear was quite dramatic and appeared to be enabled by the formation of a fairly thick (approximate to 200 nm) carbon-rich boundary film, the formation of which is attributed to tribochemical interactions between the carbon particles and sliding contact surfaces.

The Particle Flow Algorithms attempt to measure each particle in a hadronic jet individually, using the detector providing the best energy/momentum resolution. The role of the hadronic calorimeters is to measure the neutral component of the hadronic jets. In this context, the CALICE Collaboration developed the Digital Hadron Calorimeter, which uses Resistive Plate Chambers as active media. The 1-bit resolution (digital) readout of 1 x 1 cm(2) pads achieves a world record in the number of readout channels already at the prototyping stage.

The high center of mass energy, the large number of simultaneous collision of beam particles in the experiments and the very high repetition rates of the collision events pose huge challenges. They result in extremely high particle fluxes, causing very high occupancies in the particle physics detectors operating at these machines. To reconstruct the physics events, the detectors have to make as much information as possible available on the final state particles. We discuss how timing information with a precision of around 10 ps and below can aid the reconstruction of the physics events under such challenging conditions. High energy photons play a crucial role in this context. About one third of the particle flux originating from high energy hadron collisions is detected as photons, stemming from the decays of neutral mesons. In addition, many key physics signatures under study are identified by high energy photons in the final state. They pose a particular challenge in that they can only be detected once they convert in the detector material. The particular challenge in measuring the time of arrival of a high energy photon lies in the stochastic component of the distance to the initial conversion and the size of the electromagnetic shower. They extend spatially over distances which propagation times of the initial photon and the subsequent electromagnetic shower which are large compared to the desired precision. We present studies and measurements from test beams and a cosmic muon test stand for calorimeter based timing measurements to explore the ultimate timing precision achievable for high energy photons of 10 GeV and above. We put particular focus on techniques to measure the timing with a precision of about 10 ps in association with the energy of the photon. For calorimeters utilizing scintillating materials and light guiding components, the propagation speed of the scintillation light in the calorimeter is important. We present studies and measurements of the propagation speed on a range of detector geometries. Finally, possible applications of precision timing in future high energy physics experiments are discussed.

Additionally, the front-end electronics sums analog signals to provide coarse-grained energy sums to the first-level (L1) trigger system. The current design was optimized for the nominal LHC luminosity of 10(34)cm(-2)s(-1). In order to retain the capability to trigger on low energy electrons and photons when the LHC is upgraded to higher luminosity, an improved LAr calorimeter trigger readout is proposed and being constructed. The new trigger readout system makes available the fine segmentation of the calorimeter at the L1 trigger with high precision in order to reduce the QCD jet background in electron, photon and tau triggers, and to improve jet and missing ET trigger performance. The new LAr Trigger Digitizer Board is designed to receive the higher granularity signals, digitize them on-detector and send them via fast optical links to a new Digital Processing System. The reconstructed energies of trigger readout channels after digital filtering are transmitted to the L1 system, allowing the extraction of improved trigger signatures. This contribution presents the motivation for the upgrade, the concept for the new trigger readout and the expected performance of the new trigger, and describes the components being developed for the new system.

The conversion results in a monochromatic electron with an energy slightly below the muon rest mass (104.97 MeV). The calorimeter should confirm that the candidates reconstructed by the extremely precise tracker system are indeed conversion electrons while performing a powerful i/e particle identification. Moreover, it should also provide a high level trigger for the experiment independently from the tracker system. The calorimeter should also be able to keep functionality in an environment where the background delivers a dose of 10 krad/year in the hottest area and to work in the presence of 1 T axial magnetic field. These requirements translate in the design of a calorimeter with large acceptance, good energy resolution 0(5%) and a reasonable position (time) resolution of similar to <1 cm (<0.5ns). The baseline version of the calorimeter is composed by two disks of inner (outer) radius of 351 (660) mm filled by 1860 hexagonal BaF2 crystals of 20 cm length. Each crystal is readout by two large area APD's. In this paper, we summarize the experimental tests done so far as well as the simulation studies in the Mu2e environment.

The SM time resolution - we obtained for this new type of detector is at the level of 20-30 ps.

The goal of the calibration system is to allow an accurate and regular measurement of the photomultiplier array's performance, while minimizing the risk of radioactivity ingress. The choice in SNO+ was to use a set of optical fiber cables to convey into the detector the light pulses produced by external LEDs. The quality control was carried out using a modified test bench that was used in QC of optical fibers for TileCal/ATLAS. The optical fibers were characterized for transmission, timing and angular dispersions. This article describes the setups used for the characterization and quality control of the system based on LEDs and optical fibers and their results.

The FCS is a very compact, compensated, finely granulated, high resolution calorimeter system being developed for p+p and p+A program at RHIC. The FCS prototype consists of both electromagnetic and hadron calorimeters. The electromagnetic portion of the detector is constructed with W powder and scintillation fibers. The hadronic calorimeter is a traditional Pb/Sc-plate sandwich design. Both calorimeters were readout with Hamamatsu MPPCs. A full-scale prototype of the FCS was tested with a beam at FNAL in March 2014.

The first of these upgrades, sPHENIX, will be based on the former BaBar magnet and will include a hadronic calorimeter and new electromagnetic calorimeter that will cover 1.1 units in pseudorapidity and 27c in azimuth in the central region, resulting in a factor of 6 increase in acceptance over the present PHENIX detector. The electromagnetic calorimeter will be a tungsten scintillating fiber design with a radiation length 7 mm and a Moliere radius similar to 2 cm. It will have a total depth of 18 radiation lengths and an energy resolution 15%/4E. The hadronic calorimeter will consist of steel plates with scintillating tiles in between that are read out with wavelength shifting fibers, It will have a total depth of 5 interaction lengths and an energy resolution 100%/4E. Both calorimeters will use silicon photomultipliers as the readout sensor. Detailed design studies and Monte Carlo simulations for both calorimeters have been carried out and prototype detectors have been constructed and tested in a test beam at Fermi lab in February 2014. This contribution describes these design studies for the sPHENIX experiment and its future upgrade plans at RHIC. C1 [Woody, C.; Kistenev, E.] Brookhaven Natl Lab, Dept Phys, Upton, NY 11973 USA.

The current state-of-the-art molecular simulations allow for accurate in silico prediction of materials' properties but the computational cost of such calculations prohibits their application in the characterisation of very large sets of structures, which would be required to perform brute-force screening. Our work focuses on the development of novel methodologies to efficiently characterize and explore this complex materials space. In particular, we have been developing algorithms and tools for enumeration and characterisation of porous material databases as well as efficient screening approaches. Our methodology represents a ensemble of mathematical methods. We have used Voronoi tessellation-based techniques to enable high-throughput structure characterisation, statistical techniques to perform comparison and screening, and continuous optimisation to design materials. This article outlines our developments in material design. C1 [Haranczyk, M.; Martin, R. L.] Univ Calif Berkeley, Lawrence Berkeley Natl Lab, Berkeley, CA 94720 USA.

SO 9TH INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON HIGH-PT PHYSICS AT LHC SE Journal of Physics Conference Series LA English DT Proceedings Paper CT 9th International Workshop on High-pT Physics at LHC CY SEP 24-28, 2013 CL Grenoble, FRANCE ID LARGE TRANSVERSE-MOMENTUM; ROOT-S(NN)=2.76 TEV; INCLUSIVE PROCESSES; COLLISIONS; PHENIX; QCD AB RHIC introduced the method of hard scattering of partons as an in-situ probe of the the medium produced in A+A collisions. A suppression, R-AA approximate to 0.2 relative to binary-scaling, was discovered for pi(0) production in the range 5 <= p(T) <= 20 GeV/c in central Au+Au collisions at root s(NN) = 200 GeV, and surprisingly also for single-electrons from the decay of heavy quarks. Both these results have been confirmed in Pb+Pb collisions at the LHC at root s(NN) = 2.76 TeV. Interestingly, in this p(T) range the LHC results for pions nearly overlap the RHIC results. Thus, due to the flatter spectrum, the energy loss in the medium at LHC in this p(T) range must be similar to 40% larger than at RHIC. Unique at the LHC are the beautiful measurements of the fractional transverse momentum imbalance 1 - <(p) over capT(2)/(p) over capT(1)> of di-jets in Pb+Pb collisions. At the Utrecht meeting in 2011, I corrected for the fractional imbalance of di-jets with the same cuts in p-p collisions and showed that the relative fractional jet imbalance in Pb+Pb/p-p is approximate to 15% for jets with 120 <= (p) over capT(1)<= 360 GeV/c. CMS later confirmed this much smaller imbalance compared to the same quantity derived from two-particle correlations of di-jet fragments at RHIC corresponding to jet (p) over cap (T) approximate to 10-20 GeV/c, which appear to show a much larger fractional jet imbalance approximate to 45% in this lower (p) over cap (T) range. The variation of apparent energy loss in the medium as a function of both p(T) and root S-NN is striking and presents a challenge to both theory and experiment for improved understanding. There are many other such unresolved issues, for instance, the absence of evidence for (q) over cap effect, due to momentum transferred to the medium by outgoing partons, which would widen the away-side di-jet and di-hadron correlations in a similar fashion as the k(T)-effect. Another issue well known from experiments at the CERN ISR, SpS and SpS collider is that parton-parton hard-collisions make negligible contribution to multiplicity or transverse energy production in p-p collisions-soft particles, with p(T) <= 2 GeV/c, predominate. Thus an apparent hard scattering component for A+A multiplicity distributions based on a popular formula, dN(ch)(AA)/d eta = [(1 - x) < N-part > dN(ch)(pp)/d eta/2 + x < N-coll > dN(ch)(pp)/d eta], seems to be an unphysical way to understand the deviation from N-part scaling. Based on recent p-p and d+A measurements, a more physical way is presented along with several other stimulating results and ideas from recent d+Au (p+Pb) measurements.

TI The DarkSide Multiton Detector for the Direct Dark Matter Search SO ADVANCES IN HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID GRAN SASSO; LIQUID ARGON AB Although the existence of dark matter is supported by many evidences, based on astrophysical measurements, its nature is still completely unknown. One major candidate is represented by weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), which could in principle be detected through their collisions with ordinary nuclei in a sensitive target, producing observable low-energy (< 100 keV) nuclear recoils. The DarkSide program aims at the WIPMs detection using a liquid argon time projection chamber (LAr-TPC). In this paper we quickly review the DarkSide program focusing in particular on the next generation experiment DarkSide-G2, a 3.6-ton LAr-TPC. The different detector components are described as well as the improvements needed to scale the detector from DarkSide50 (50 kg LAr-TPC) up to DarkSide-G2. Finally, the preliminary results on background suppression and expected sensitivity are presented. C1 [Aalseth, C. E.; Asner, D. M.; Foxe, M.; Hime, A.; Humble, P.; Orrell, J.

The algorithm is based on the embedded boundary method, in which finite volume approximations are used to discretize the solution in cut cells that result from intersecting the irregular boundary with a structured Cartesian grid. This approach is conservative and reduces to a standard finite difference method in grid cells away from the boundary. We solve the incompressible flow equations using a predictor-corrector formulation. Hyperbolic advection terms are obtained by higher-order upwinding without the use of extrapolated data in covered cells. The small-cell stability problem associated with explicit embedded boundary methods for hyperbolic systems is avoided by the use of a volume-weighted scheme in the advection step and is consistent with construction of the right-hand side of the elliptic solvers. The Helmholtz equations resulting from viscous source terms are advanced in time by the Crank-Nicolson method, which reduces solver runtime compared to other second-order time integrators by a half. Incompressibility is enforced by a second-order approximate projection method that makes use of a new conservative cell-centered gradient in cut cells that is consistent with the volume-weighted scheme. The algorithm is also capable of block structured adaptive mesh refinement to increase spatial resolution dynamically in regions of interest. The resulting overall method is second-order accurate for sufficiently smooth problems. In addition, the algorithm is implemented in a high-performance computing framework and can perform structured-grid fluid dynamics calculations at unprecedented scale and resolution, up to 262,144 processor cores. We demonstrate robustness and performance of the algorithm by simulating incompressible flow for a wide range of Reynolds numbers in two and three dimensions: Stokes and low Reynolds number flows in both constructed and image data geometries (Re << 1 to Re = 1), flow past a cylinder (Re = 300), flow past a sphere (Re = 600) and turbulent flow in a contraction (Re = 6300).

Studying 12 sites located along two distinct gradients of metal pollution in Southern Poland revealed that functional potential and diversity (assessed using GeoChip 4.2) were highly similar across the gradients despite drastically diverging metal contamination levels. Metal pollution level did, however, significantly impact bacterial community structure (as shown by MiSeq Illumina sequencing of 16S rRNA genes), but not bacterial taxon richness and community composition. Metal pollution caused changes in the relative abundance of specific bacterial taxa, including Acidobacteria, Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Chloroflexi, Firmicutes, Planctomycetes and Proteobacteria. Also, a group of metal-resistance genes showed significant correlations with metal concentrations in soil. Our study showed that microbial communities are resilient to metal pollution; despite differences in community structure, no clear impact of metal pollution levels on overall functional diversity was observed. While screens of phylogenetic marker genes, such as 16S rRNA genes, provide only limited insight into resilience mechanisms, analysis of specific functional genes, e.g. involved in metal resistance, appears to be a more promising strategy.

Microbial communities can influence the fate of contaminants and nutrients. However, insight into the microbial ecology of the Caspian Sea significantly lags behind other marine systems. Here we describe microbial biomass, diversity and composition in sediments collected from three sampling stations in the Caspian Sea. Illumina sequencing of 16S rRNA genes revealed the presence of a number of known bacterial and archaeal heterotrophs suggesting that organic carbon is a primary factor shaping microbial communities. Surface sediments collected from bottom waters with low oxygen levels were dominated by Gammaproteobacteria while surface sediments collected from bottom waters under hypoxic conditions were dominated by Deltaproteobacteria, specifically sulfate-reducing bacteria. Thaumarchaeota was dominant across all surface sediments indicating that nitrogen cycling in this system is strongly influenced by ammonia-oxidizing archaea. This study provides a baseline assessment that may serve as a point of reference as this system changes or as the efficacy of new remediation efforts are implemented.

However, the small photocurrent densities of the typical ferroelectric solar cells greatly limit their photovoltaic performance. In this report, we experimentally revealed the polarization switching properties of inorganic-organic hybrid perovskites and developed ferroelectric solar cells based on the hybrid perovskites. Hybrid perovskite methylammonium lead trihalide (MAPbX(3)) thin films exhibited 180 degrees domain phase switching and polarization hysteresis loops. Ferroelectric solar cells based on the mixed halide MAPbI(3-x)Cl(x) thin film demonstrate a power conversion efficiency of 6.7% and the ferroelectric solar cells display switchable photovoltaic effects. This work provides an alternative but exhilarating solution for high-performance ferroelectric solar cells beyond inorganic ferroelectric oxides.

The NSGCB shows excellent performance for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) with the onset and half-wave potentials at 0.96 V and 0.81 V (vs. RHE), respectively, which are significantly higher compared to those of the catalysts derived from only graphene (0.90 V and 0.76 V) or carbon nanospheres (0.82 V and 0.74 V). The enhanced catalytic activity of the NSGCB electrode could be attributed to the synergistic effect of N/S co-doping and the enlarged interlayer space resulted from the insertion of carbon nanospheres into the graphene sheets. The four-electron selectivity and the limiting current density of the NSGCB nanocomposite are comparable to those of the commercial Pt/C catalyst. Furthermore, the NSGCB nanocomposite is superior to Pt/C in terms of long-term durability and tolerance to methanol poisoning.

TI Synthesis, optical, and photocatalytic properties of cobalt mixed-metal spinel oxides Co(Al1-xGax)(2)O-4 SO JOURNAL OF MATERIALS CHEMISTRY A LA English DT Article ID SOL-GEL SYNTHESIS; ZERO CHARGE; HYDROGEN-PRODUCTION; QUANTUM DOTS; WATER; PHOTOELECTROLYSIS; NANOCRYSTALS; PHOTOANODES; PRECURSORS; POINTS AB Cobalt mixed-metal spinel oxides, Co(Al1-xGax)(2)O-4, have been predicted to exhibit promising properties as photocatalysts for solar energy conversion. In this work, Co(Al1-xGax)(2)O-4 were synthesized with a range of 0 <= x <= 1 via both single-source and multi-source routes. Single-source molecular precursors, [Co{M((OBu)-Bu-t)(4)}(2)] (M = Al or Ga), were decomposed at 300 degrees C to form amorphous oxides. Multi-source precursors, stoichiometric mixtures of metal acetylacetonate (acac) complexes, were used to form nanocrystalline spinel materials. Both were subsequently converted to bulk spinel products by annealing at 1000 degrees C. The properties of materials fabricated from the single-source and multi-source synthetic routes were compared by analysing data from X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, UV-vis spectrophotometry, inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy, and gas sorption measurements. The X-ray diffraction data of the materials showed ideal solid solution behavior that followed Vegard's law for both routes, with the multi-source route giving more crystalline bulk material than the single-source route. UV-vis absorbance data revealed that the absorption onset energies of Co(Al1-xGax)(2)O-4 decreased monotonically with increasing x (from 1.84 eV for x = 0 to 1.76 eV for x = 1 from the single-source method; 1.75 eV for x = 0 to 1.70 eV for x = 1 from the multi-source method). The photocatalytic activities of the spinel oxides were evaluated via the photodegradation of methyl orange and phenol, which showed that the photoactivity of Co(Al0.5Ga0.5)(2)O-4 was dependent on both pH and substrate. Remarkably, under appropriate substrate binding conditions (pH 3 with methyl orange), low energy (<2.5 eV) ligand-field transitions contributed between 46 and 72% of the photoactivity of Co(Al0.5Ga0.5)(2)O-4 prepared from the multi-source route.

TI Room-temperature crystallization of hybrid-perovskite thin films via solvent-solvent extraction for high-performance solar cells SO JOURNAL OF MATERIALS CHEMISTRY A LA English DT Article ID ORGANOMETAL HALIDE PEROVSKITES; PLANAR HETEROJUNCTION; HOLE-CONDUCTOR; EFFICIENCY; IODIDE; DEPOSITION; EMERGENCE; LIGHT AB The room-temperature solvent-solvent extraction (SSE) concept is used for the deposition of hybrid-perovskite thin films over large areas. In this simple process, perovskite precursor solution is spin-coated onto a substrate, and instead of the conventional thermal annealing treatment, the coated substrate is immediately immersed in a bath of another solvent at room temperature. This results in efficient extraction of the precursor-solvent and induces rapid crystallization of uniform, ultra-smooth perovskite thin films. The mechanisms involved in the SSE process are studied further, and its versatility in depositing high quality thin films of controlled thicknesses (20 to 700 nm) and various compositions (CH3NH3PbI(3-x)Brx; x = 0, 1, 2, or 3) is demonstrated. Planar perovskite solar cells (PSCs) based on SSE-deposited CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite thin films deliver power conversion efficiency (PCE) up to 15.2%, and most notably an average PCE of 10.1% for PSCs with sub-100 nm semi-transparent perovskite thin films. The SSE method has generic appeal, and its key attributes-room-temperature process, rapid crystallization, large-area uniform deposition, film-thickness control, ultra-smoothness, and compositional versatility-make the SSE method potentially suitable for roll-to-roll scalable processing of hybrid-perovskite thin films for future multifunctional PSCs.

The direct fabrication of ultrafine NPs in HSMs is obviously a challenge because of the inevitable NPs agglomeration during the thermo-reduction. Herein, we report a mechanochemical-force-driven procedure for the one-step preparation of Ni NPs (2-3 nm) in a MgH2 matrix, which capitalizes on the in situ bottom-up reduction of Ni-MOF-74 in the presence of MgH2 as a reducing and sacrificing agent at room temperature. Both theoretical calculations and experimental investigations show that ultrafine Ni NPs are much more effective on catalytic hydrogenation/dehydrogenation in Mg due to the size effect. These findings may facilitate the fabrication of other catalyzed HSMs using different MOFs as catalyst precursors.

Dispersion of the active centers on an easily accessible high surface area material allowed for high density of surface active sites associated with oxygenated structures.

TI Real-time X-ray scattering studies of film evolution in high performing small-molecule-fullerene organic solar cells SO JOURNAL OF MATERIALS CHEMISTRY A LA English DT Article ID MORPHOLOGY CONTROL; BLEND FILMS; EFFICIENCY; ADDITIVES; DESIGN AB We have studied the influence of the formulation additive 1,8-diiodooctane (DIO) on the structural evolution of bulk heterojunction (BHJ) films based the small molecule donor 7,7'-(4,4-bis(2-ethylhexyl)-4H-silolo[3,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophene-2,6-diyl)bis(6-fluoro-5-(5'-hexyl-[2,2'-bithiophen]-5-yl)benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole) (p-DTS(FBTTh2)(2)) and phenyl-C-71-butyric-acid-methyl ester ([70]PCBM). Real-time, in situ, grazing-incidence X-ray scattering experiments allow us to characterize the development of crystalline order via diffraction and phase separation via small angle scattering. The performance of p-DTS(FBTTh2)(2) based solar cells exhibits a distinct optimum with respect to volume fraction of DIO in the coating solution, unlike many polymer-fullerene systems that exhibit plateaus in performance above a certain additive volume fraction. Increasing the DIO volume fraction increases the crystallinity of p-DTS(FBTTh2)(2) and dramatically increases the phase separation length scale even at small DIO amounts. These results suggest that the existence of an optimal DIO amount is a consequence of the phase separation length scale and its relationship to the optimal length for exciton dissociation. The effects of DIO on the time evolution of the drying films indicates that it acts as both a solvent and a plasticizer for p-DTS(FBTTh2)(2), controlling its nucleation density and promoting its crystal growth.

TI BOUT plus plus : Recent and current developments SO JOURNAL OF PLASMA PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID BOUNDARY PLASMAS; SIMULATIONS; TURBULENCE; TOKAMAK; TRANSPORT; SOL; RECONSTRUCTION; PHYSICS AB BOUT++ is a 3D nonlinear finite-difference plasma simulation code, capable of solving quite general systems of Partial Differential Equations (PDEs), but targeted particularly on studies of the edge region of tokamak plasmas. BOUT++ is publicly available, and has been adopted by a growing number of researchers worldwide. Here we present improvements which have been made to the code since its original release, both in terms of structure and its capabilities. Some recent applications of these methods are reviewed, and areas of active development are discussed. We also present algorithms and tools which have been developed to enable creation of inputs from analytic expressions and experimental data, and for processing and visualisation of output results. This includes a new tool HYPNOTOAD for the creation of meshes from experimental equilibria. Algorithms have been implemented in BOUT++ to solve a range of linear algebraic problems encountered in the simulation of reduced Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and gyro-fluid models: A preconditioning scheme is presented which enables the plasma potential to be calculated efficiently using iterative methods supplied by the PETSc library (the Portable, Extensible Toolkit for Scientific Computation) (Balay et al. 2014), without invoking the Boussinesq approximation. Scaling studies are also performed of a linear solver used as part of physics-based preconditioning to accelerate the convergence of implicit time-integration schemes. C1 [Dudson, B.

TI The HelCat basic plasma science device SO JOURNAL OF PLASMA PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID POTENTIAL RELAXATION INSTABILITY; SPHEROMAK INJECTION; DISCHARGE PLASMA; EXCITATION; TRANSPORT; TOKAMAK; LAYER; SHEAR; UCLA AB The Helicon-Cathode(HelCat) device is a medium-size linear experiment suitable for a wide range of basic plasma science experiments in areas such as electrostatic turbulence and transport, magnetic relaxation, and high power microwave (HPM)plasma interactions. The HelCat device is based on dual plasma sources located at opposite ends of the 4 m long vacuum chamber - an RF helicon source at one end and a thermionic cathode at the other. Thirteen coils provide an axial magnetic field B <= 0.220 T that can be configured individually to give various magnetic configurations (e.g. solenoid, mirror, cusp). Additional plasma sources, such as a compact coaxial plasma gun, are also utilized in some experiments, and can be located either along the chamber for perpendicular (to the background magnetic field) plasma injection, or at one of the ends for parallel injection. Using the multiple plasma sources, a wide range of plasma parameters can be obtained. Here, the HelCat device is described in detail and some examples of results from previous and ongoing experiments are given. Additionally, examples of planned experiments and device modifications are also discussed. C1 [Gilmore, M.; Lynn, A. G.; Desjardins, T.

TI Transition in electron physics of magnetic reconnection in weakly collisional plasma SO JOURNAL OF PLASMA PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID ACCELERATION; TRANSPORT; FIELDS AB Using particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations with a Monte Carlo treatment of the Coulomb collision operator, we study the transition in electron dynamics of magnetic reconnection for various levels of collisionality. The weakly collisional cases considered all fall into the so-called Hall or kinetic regime. Nevertheless, collisions may still alter the electron kinetic physics characteristic of collisionless reconnection, where adiabatic trapping energizes the electrons and leads to strong anisotropy of the electron velocity distribution and pressure. This anisotropy can support extended current sheets, associated with secondary island formation and turbulent flux rope interactions in three dimensional systems. The collisional simulations demonstrate how weak collisions may modify or eliminate these electron structures in the kinetic regimes. While the reconnection rate is not sensitive to the collisionality in the range studied, we find that increasing collisionality reduces the level of electron energization near the reconnection site. Finally, the results provide guidance for new laboratory reconnection experiments that will access the weakly collisional regimes.

The multi-pulse structure of the laser leads to a steepening of the plasma density gradient, which the simulations show is necessary for the formation of narrow-energy spread proton bunches. Laser interactions with a long, front surface, scale-length (>> c/omega(p)) plasma, with linear density gradient, were observed to generate proton beams with a higher maximum energy, but a much broader spectrum compared to step-like density profiles. In the step-like cases, a peak in the proton energy spectra was formed and seen to scale linearly with the ratio of laser intensity to plasma density. C1 [Palmer, Charlotte A.

TI The hot hELicon eXperiment (HELIX) and the large experiment on instabilities and anisotropy (LEIA) SO JOURNAL OF PLASMA PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID ION TEMPERATURE ANISOTROPY; PLASMA; MAGNETOSHEATH; FREQUENCY; ELECTRON; DEVICE AB The West Virginia University Hot hELIcon eXperiment (HELIX) provides variable density and ion temperature plasmas, with controllable levels of thermal anisotropy, for space relevant laboratory experiments in the Large Experiment on Instabilities and Anisotropy (LEIA) as well as fundamental studies of helicon source physics in HELIX. Through auxiliary ion heating, the ion temperature anisotropy (T-perpendicular to/T-parallel to) is variable from 1 to 20 for parallel plasma beta (beta = 8 pi nkT(i parallel to)/B-2) values that span the range of 0.0001 to 0.01 in LEIA. The ion velocity distribution function is measured throughout the discharge volume in steady-state and pulsed plasmas with laser induced fluorescence (LIF). The wavelengths of very short wavelength electrostatic fluctuations are measured with a coherent microwave scattering system. Operating at low neutral pressures triggers spontaneous formation of a current-free electric double layer. Ion acceleration through the double layer is detected through LIF. LIF-based velocity space tomography of the accelerated beam provides a two-dimensional mapping of the bulk and beam ion distribution functions. The driving frequency for the m = 1 helical antenna is continuously variable from 8.5 to 16 MHz and frequency dependent variations of the RF coupling to the plasma allow the spontaneously appearing double layers to be turned on and off without modifying the plasma collisionality or magnetic field geometry. Single and multi-species plasmas are created with argon, helium, nitrogen, krypton, and xenon. The noble gas plasmas have steep neutral density gradients, with ionization levels reaching 100% in the core of the plasma source. The large plasma density in the source enables the study of Aflven waves in the HELIX device. C1 [Scime, E. E.; Balkey, M. M.; Keesee, A.

An enhancement was observed when decreasing the target density, which is indicative for an increased laser-accelerated hot electron density at the rear target-vacuum boundary. This is due to channel formation and collimation of the hot electrons inside the target. Particle-in-cell simulations support the experimental observations and show the correlation between channel depth and longitudinal electric field strength is directly correlated with the proton acceleration.

TI On the scale-to-scale coupling between a full-scale wind turbine and turbulence SO JOURNAL OF TURBULENCE LA English DT Article DE field experiment; flow-structure interaction; turbine loading; wavelet analysis; wind turbine ID MULTIFRACTAL FORMALISM; DEVELOPED TURBULENCE; SIGNALS; ORGANIZATION; WAVELETS; VELOCITY; LOADS; SHEAR; LAYER AB The scale-dependent response of an instrumented full-scale wind turbine is studied under neutrally stratified conditions. The analysis is focused on the linkage between the incoming flow, turbine power output and foundation strain. Wind speed, measured from sonic anemometers installed on a meteorological tower, and foundation strain were sampled at 20 Hz, while the turbine power was sampled at 1 Hz. A wavelet framework and structure function are used to obtain cross correlations among flow turbulence, turbine power and strain across scales as well as to quantify intermittent signatures in both flow and turbine quantities. Results indicate that correlation between the streamwise velocity component of the wind flow and turbine power is maximised across all scales larger than the rotor radius for wind measured at the turbine hub height. The characteristic time lag associated with maximum correlation is shown to be consistent with the Taylor's hypothesis for turbulent scales smaller than the separation between the meteorological tower and the turbine. However, it decreases with increasing scale size and diminishes to zero at scales on the order of the boundary layer thickness. Turbine power and strain fluctuations exhibited practically the same behaviour at scales larger than two rotor diameters. At those scales, the cross correlation between these quantities resulted similar to 0.99 and remains still over 0.9 at the scale of rotor radius. Below this scale, the correlation decreases logarithmically with scale. The strong linkage between power and strain for all the relevant scales would eventually allow the analysis of dynamic forcing on the foundation based on the power output. Intermittency on the flow is shown to be transferred and amplified by the turbine, leading to highly intermittent power output. C1 [Chamorro, L.

We have developed an innovative polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)-stabilized Ag nanoplate ink amenable to very strong low temperature packaging, and investigated the relationship between bonding strength and electrical conductivity post-bonding. PVP shell plastic deformations observed in failure microcracks with the formation of PVP nanofibers, revealed bonding strength at low temperatures (<250 degrees C) was primarily due to adhesive bonding. It is found that, utilizing photonic sintering, similar to 70 degrees C reduction of transformation temperature from adhesive to metallic bonding was achieved compared to that of thermal sintering. A numerical simulation was developed to better understand the influences of the light-induced heat generation, which demonstrated near-infrared light can facilitate sintering. Bonding strengths of 27 MPa were achieved at room temperatures, and 29.4 MPa at 210 degrees C with photonic sintering. Moreover, the anisotropic resistivity was observed with different thermal dependences. These results demonstrate Ag nanoplate inks have potential for low temperature 3D interconnections in lead-free microcircuits, flexible electronic packaging, and diverse sensing applications.

To fulfil their powerful potential, electrodes with increased capacity, faster charge rates, and longer cycle life must be developed. Understanding the mechanics and chemistry of individual nanoparticles under in situ conditions is a crucial step to improving performance and mitigating damage. Here we reveal three-dimensional strain evolution within a single nanoparticle of a promising high voltage cathode material, LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4, under in situ conditions. The particle becomes disconnected during the second charging cycle. This is attributed to the formation of a cathode electrolyte interphase layer with slow ionic conduction. The three-dimensional strain pattern within the particle is independent of cell voltage after disconnection, indicating that the particle is unable to redistribute lithium within its volume or to its neighbours.

A representative example is graphene. However, for synthetic 2D materials, such influences have rarely been demonstrated. In this work, a rare example of how a 2D monolayer structure can impact the properties of bulk materials has been demonstrated by the construction of 2D supramolecular polymers (SPs) and their utilization in the fabrication of hydrogels. Maintaining the intrinsic 2D structures, the as-prepared hydrogels exhibited exceptional thermal stabilities (>180 degrees C), as revealed by an inversion test and a variable-temperature rheological study. The microstructures and morphologies of the 2D SPs have been extensively characterized by NMR spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, small-angel X-ray scattering, transmission electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. Furthermore, molecular dynamic simulations were also performed to shed light on the formation mechanism of the hydrogels.

Most of the existing tools require proteins to be aligned in order-preserving way and only find single alignments even when multiple similar regions exist. We propose a new seed-based approach that discovers multiple pairs of similar regions. Its computational complexity is polynomial and it comes with a quality guarantee-the returned alignments have both root mean squared deviations (coordinate-based as well as internal-distances based) lower than a given threshold, if such exist. We do not require the alignments to be order preserving (i.e., we consider nonsequential alignments), which makes our algorithm suitable for detecting similar domains when comparing multidomain proteins as well as to detect structural repetitions within a single protein. Because the search space for nonsequential alignments is much larger than for sequential ones, the computational burden is addressed by extensive use of parallel computing techniques: a coarse-grain level parallelism making use of available CPU cores for computation and a fine-grain level parallelism exploiting bit-level concurrency as well as vector instructions.

TI Designing lipids for selective partitioning into liquid ordered membrane domains SO SOFT MATTER LA English DT Article ID AIR-WATER-INTERFACE; POLY(ETHYLENE GLYCOL); PHASE-SEPARATION; MODEL MEMBRANES; MIXED MONOLAYERS; PROTEINS; VESICLES; RAFTS; BEHAVIOR; PACKING AB Self-organization of lipid molecules into specific membrane phases is key to the development of hierarchical molecular assemblies that mimic cellular structures. While the packing interaction of the lipid tails should provide the major driving force to direct lipid partitioning to ordered or disordered membrane domains, numerous examples show that the headgroup and spacer play important but undefined roles. We report here the development of several new biotinylated lipids that examine the role of spacer chemistry and structure on membrane phase partitioning. The new lipids were prepared with varying lengths of low molecular weight polyethylene glycol (EGn) spacers to examine how spacer hydrophilicity and length influence their partitioning behavior following binding with FITC-labeled streptavidin in liquid ordered (L-o) and liquid disordered (L-d) phase coexisting membranes. Partitioning coefficients (K-p L-o/L-d) of the biotinylated lipids were determined using fluorescence measurements in studies with giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs). Compared against DPPE-biotin, DPPE-cap-biotin, and DSPE-PEG2000-biotin lipids, the new dipalmityl-EGn-biotin lipids exhibited markedly enhanced partitioning into liquid ordered domains, achieving K-p of up to 7.3 with a decaethylene glycol spacer (DP-EG10-biotin). We further demonstrated biological relevance of the lipids with selective partitioning to lipid raft-like domains observed in giant plasma membrane vesicles (GPMVs) derived from mammalian cells. Our results found that the spacer group not only plays a pivotal role for designing lipids with phase selectivity but may also influence the structural order of the domain assemblies.

We review the arguments that this symmetry is a relativistic symmetry. The condition for this symmetry is that the sum of the vector and scalar potentials in the Dirac Hamiltonian is a constant. We give the generators of pseudospin symmetry. We review some of the predictions that follow from this insight into the relativistic origins of pseudospin symmetry. Since in nuclei the sum of the scalar and vector potentials is not zero but is small, we discuss preliminary investigations into the conditions on the potentials to produce partial dynamic pseudospin symmetry. Finally we show that approximate pseudospin symmetry in nuclei predicts approximate spin symmetry in anti-nucleon scattering from nuclei. C1 Los Alamos Natl Lab, Los Alamos, NM 87545 USA.

They were produced in fusion-fission processes following Ca-48 + Pb-208, Ca-48 + U-238 reactions and via fission of target nuclei in the Ni-64 + U-238 system. By employing techniques of delayed-and cross-coincidences, it was possible to establish level schemes up to an 8 MeV excitation energy. The 13(-) and 15(-) states were identified as being isomeric and their half-lives were determined. The reduced transition probabilities extracted for isomeric transitions behave very regularly with the mass number A. The spin-parity values assigned to or suggested for the identified states were supported by shell-model calculations and by systematics. C1 [Iskra, L.

The transition temperature coincides with the BCS critical temperature and yields gap parameters in good agreement with the values extracted from evenodd mass differences from rotational states.

The experiments were performed at five projectile energies (in two runs, in 2009-2010 and 2012) and with a total beam dose of Ca-48 ions of about 9x10(19). The experiments yielded data on alpha-decay characteristics and excitation functions of the produced nuclei that establish these to be (293)117 and (294)117 - the products of the 4n-and 3n-evaporation channels, respectively. In total, we have observed 20 decay chains of Z= 117 nuclides. The cross sections were measured to be 1.1 pb for the 3n and 2.4 pb for the 4n-reaction channel. The new (289)115 events, populated by a decay of (293)117, demonstrate the same decay properties as those observed for (289)115 produced in the Am-243(Ca-48, 2n) reaction thus providing cross-bombardment evidence. In addition, a single decay of (294)118 was observed from the reaction with Cf-249 -a result of the in-growth of Cf-249 in the Bk-249 target. The observed decay chain of (294)118 is in good agreement with decay properties obtained in 2002-2005 in the experiments with the reaction Cf-249(Ca-48, 3n) (294)118. The energies and half-lives of the odd-Z isotopes observed in the 117 decay chains together with the results obtained for lower-Z superheavy nuclei demonstrate enhancement of nuclear stability with increasing neutron number towards the predicted new magic number N= 184.

Measurements of linearly polarized starlight provide the only test of the magnetic field threading the CLIC. Polarization measurements of the CLIC magnetic field show multiple local magnetic structures, one of which is aligned with the magnetic field traced by the center of the "ribbon" of energetic neutral atoms discovered by the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX). Comparisons between the bulk motion of the CLIC through the local standard of rest, the magnetic field direction, the geometric center of Loop I, and the polarized dust bridge extending from the heliosphere toward the North Polar Spur direction all suggest that the CLIC is part of the rim region of the Loop I superbubble.

The Milagro collaboration, the As gamma collaboration and the Ice Cube observatory have recently made global maps of cosmic ray fluxes in the TeV energy range, revealing anisotropic structures ordered in part by the local interstellar magnetic field and the interstellar flow. This paper following from a recent publication in Science makes the link between these disparate observations by developing a simple model of the magnetic structure surrounding the heliosphere in the Local Interstellar Medium (LISM) that is consistent with both IBEX ENA fluxes and TeV cosmic ray anisotropies. The model also employs the revised velocity direction of the LIC derived from neutral He observations by IBEX. By modeling the propagation of cosmic rays through this magnetic field structure, we specifically show that (1) the large-scale TeV anisotropy provides a roughly consistent orientation for the local interstellar magnetic field at the center of the IBEX Ribbon and corroborates the 3,uG magnitude of the local interstellar magnetic field derived from IBEX observations of the global heliosphere; (2) and small-scale structures in cosmic rays (over < 30 angular scales) are influenced by the interstellar field interaction with the heliosphere at energies < 10 TeV. Thus, we provide a link between IBEX ENA observations, IBEX neutral observations of interstellar He, and TeV cosmic ray anisotropies, which are strongly influenced by the interactions between the local interstellar magnetic field, the flow of the local interstellar plasma, and the global heliosphere.

We discuss a pair of simple models of such proton shape fluctuations. A "fat" proton with a size of 3 fm occurs with observable frequency. In light of this result, collective flow behavior in the ensuing nuclear interaction seems feasible. We discuss the influence of these models on the parton structure of the proton.

What I remember was that he discussed only ONE, 5 inch photomultiplier with a Cherenkov radiator in the beam to make this measurement of production of charged particles with angles up to 30 degrees in various nuclei, 40 h requested. This turned out to be a "seminal" experiment leading to the Wounded Nucleon and other participant models.

The key feature of the latter is a strong electron-phonon interaction, making the evolution of electronic and structural degrees of freedom inseparable. We discuss commonly used approaches for first-principles modeling of this evolution, focusing on a multiscale framework based on the Holstein-Peierls Hamiltonian solved via polaron transformation. A challenge for both theoretical and experimental investigations of organic solar cells is the complex multiscale morphology of these devices. Nevertheless, predictive modeling of photovoltaic materials and devices is attainable and is rapidly developing, as reviewed here.

TI Diel and seasonal changes of biogenic volatile organic compounds within and above an Amazonian rainforest SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID REACTION-MASS-SPECTROMETRY; SOUTHEASTERN UNITED-STATES; METHYL VINYL KETONE; PINUS-SYLVESTRIS L.; PTR-MS MEASUREMENTS; TROPICAL FOREST; COMPOUNDS VOC; ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY; BOUNDARY-LAYER; NONMETHANE HYDROCARBONS AB The Amazonian rainforest is a large tropical ecosystem, which is one of the last pristine continental terrains. This ecosystem is ideally located for the study of diel and seasonal behaviour of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) in the absence of local human interference. In this study, we report the first atmospheric BVOC measurements at the Amazonian Tall Tower Observatory (ATTO) site, located in central Amazonia. A quadrupole proton-transfer-reaction mass spectrometer (PTR-MS), with seven ambient air inlets, positioned from near ground to about 80 m (0.05, 0.5, 4, 24, 38, 53 and 79 m above the forest floor), was deployed for BVOC monitoring. We report diel and seasonal (February-March 2013 as wet season and September 2013 as dry season) ambient mixing ratios for isoprene, monoterpenes, isoprene oxidation products, acetaldehyde, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), methanol and acetonitrile. Clear diel and seasonal patterns were observed for all compounds. In general, lower mixing ratios were observed during night, while maximum mixing ratios were observed during the wet season (February-March 2013), with the peak in solar irradiation at 12:00 LT (local time) and during the dry season (September 2013) with the peak in temperature at 16:00 LT. Isoprene and monoterpene mixing ratios were the highest within the canopy with a median of 7.6 and 1 ppb, respectively (interquartile range (IQR) of 6.1 and 0.38 ppb) during the dry season (at 24 m, from 12:00 to 15:00 LT). The increased contribution of oxygenated volatile organic compounds (OVOCs) above the canopy indicated a transition from dominating forest emissions during the wet season (when mixing ratios were higher than within the canopy), to a blend of biogenic emission, photochemical production and advection during the dry season when mixing ratios were higher above the canopy. Our observations suggest strong seasonal interactions between environmental (insolation, temperature) and biological (phenology) drivers of leaf BVOC emissions and atmospheric chemistry. Considerable differences in the magnitude of BVOC mixing ratios, as compared to other reports of Amazonian BVOC, demonstrate the need for long-term observations at different sites and more standardized measurement procedures, in order to better characterize the natural exchange of BVOCs between the Amazonian rainforest and the atmosphere.

A simple model constructed for the selectivity filter of the channel is used. The selectivity filter of this channel type contains aspartate (D), glutamate (E), lysine (K), and alanine (A) residues (the DEKA locus). We use Grand Canonical Monte Carlo simulations to compute equilibrium binding selectivity in the selectivity filter and to obtain various terms of the excess chemical potential from a particle insertion procedure based on Widom's method. We show that K+ ions in competition with Na+ are efficiently excluded from the selectivity filter due to entropic hard sphere exclusion. The dielectric constant of protein has no effect on this selectivity. Ca2+ ions, on the other hand, are excluded from the filter due to a free energetic penalty which is enhanced by the low dielectric constant of protein.

TI ALD Zirconium Oxide (ZrO2) Thin Films Mechanical/Structural Properties for High-Tech Applications SO ECS JOURNAL OF SOLID STATE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article ID CRYSTALLINE SILICON; DEPOSITION; SUBSTRATE AB The nanomechanical and structural properties of atomic layer deposition (ALD) zirconium oxide (ZrO2) films of varying thickness deposited on p-type Si (100) substrates with 200, 300, and 500, ALD deposition cycles were investigated. The 300 ALD deposition cycles ZrO2 films were further annealed at 600 degrees C. The nanomechanical properties of the films were tested using nanoindentation and the surface morphology was investigated using AFM. The structural and surface properties were explored using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). We discuss the influence of the deposition technique on the structure and properties of the ZrO2 films resulting from ALD synthesis. The nanoindentation results indicate that the films become consistently softer as the number of ALD deposition cycles increase and the film grows thicker. Further annealing of the films at 600 degrees C slightly enhanced the hardness and fracture toughness of the films. The annealed ALD films depicted shorter radial cracks compared to the films under the same applied stress, which were not annealed in forming gas. (C) 2015 The Electrochemical Society.

TI Semi-transparent perovskite solar cells for tandems with silicon and CIGS SO ENERGY & ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID ORGANOMETAL HALIDE PEROVSKITES; EFFICIENCY; DEPOSITION; PHOTOVOLTAICS; TRANSMISSION; PERFORMANCE; ELECTRODES AB A promising approach for upgrading the performance of an established low-bandgap solar technology without adding much cost is to deposit a high bandgap polycrystalline semiconductor on top to make a tandem solar cell. We use a transparent silver nanowire electrode on perovskite solar cells to achieve a semi-transparent device. We place the semi-transparent cell in a mechanically-stacked tandem configuration onto copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS) and low-quality multicrystalline silicon (Si) to achieve solid-state polycrystalline tandem solar cells with a net improvement in efficiency over the bottom cell alone. This work paves the way for integrating perovskites into a low-cost and high-efficiency (>25%) tandem cell.

TI Spinel compounds as multivalent battery cathodes: a systematic evaluation based on ab initio calculations SO ENERGY & ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID GENERALIZED GRADIENT APPROXIMATION; RECHARGEABLE MAGNESIUM BATTERIES; SECONDARY LITHIUM BATTERIES; 1ST PRINCIPLES CALCULATIONS; POLYVALENT CATIONS; ENERGY-STORAGE; ION BATTERIES; MG BATTERIES; METAL-OXIDES; INTERCALATION AB Batteries that shuttle multivalent ions such as Mg2+ and Ca2+ ions are promising candidates for achieving higher energy density than available with current Li-ion technology. Finding electrode materials that reversibly store and release these multivalent cations is considered a major challenge for enabling such multivalent battery technology. In this paper, we use recent advances in high-throughput first-principles calculations to systematically evaluate the performance of compounds with the spinel structure as multivalent intercalation cathode materials, spanning a matrix of five different intercalating ions and seven transition metal redox active cations. We estimate the insertion voltage, capacity, thermodynamic stability of charged and discharged states, as well as the intercalating ion mobility and use these properties to evaluate promising directions. Our calculations indicate that the Mn2O4 spinel phase based on Mg and Ca are feasible cathode materials. In general, we find that multivalent cathodes exhibit lower voltages compared to Li cathodes; the voltages of Ca spinels are similar to 0.2 V higher than those of Mg compounds (versus their corresponding metals), and the voltages of Mg compounds are similar to 1.4 V higher than Zn compounds; consequently, Ca and Mg spinels exhibit the highest energy densities amongst all the multivalent cation species. The activation barrier for the Al3+ ion migration in the Mn2O4 spinel is very high (similar to 1400 meV for Al3+ in the dilute limit); thus, the use of an Al based Mn spinel intercalation cathode is unlikely. Amongst the choice of transition metals, Mn-based spinel structures rank highest when balancing all the considered properties.

TI Material descriptors for predicting thermoelectric performance SO ENERGY & ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID METAL-INSULATOR-TRANSITION; THERMAL-CONDUCTIVITY; TRANSPORT-PROPERTIES; ENERGY-CONVERSION; ZINTL COMPOUND; EFFICIENCY; BAND; CRYSTALS; OXIDE; PBTE AB In the context of materials design and high-throughput computational searches for new thermoelectric materials, the need to compute electron and phonon transport properties renders direct assessment of the thermoelectric figure of merit (zT) for large numbers of compounds untenable. Here we develop a semi-empirical approach rooted in first-principles calculations that allows relatively simple computational assessment of the intrinsic bulk material properties which govern zT. These include carrier mobility, effective mass, and lattice thermal conductivity, which combine to form a semi-empirical metric (descriptor) termed beta(SE). We assess the predictive power of beta(SE) against a range of known thermoelectric materials, as well as demonstrate its use in high-throughput screening for promising candidate materials.

Naturally, safety concerns are the key issue for the application of battery technology in EVs. Olivine LiFePO4 is considered to be the most promising cathode material for lithium-ion batteries due to its environmental friendliness, high cycling performance and safety characteristics. Some important breakthroughs in recent years have allowed its successful commercialization. However, in spite of its success, the commercial application of LiFePO4 batteries in EVs is still hindered by some technological obstacles.

This approach is particularly applicable to recently developed classes of nanoporous materials, such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), which are synthesized from a limited set of molecular building blocks that can be combined to generate a very large number of different structures. In this Perspective, we illustrate how a materials genome approach can be used to search for high-performance adsorbent materials to store natural gas in a vehicular fuel tank. Drawing upon recent reports of large databases of existing and predicted nanoporous materials generated in silico, we have collected and compared on a consistent basis the methane uptake in over 650 000 materials based on the results of molecular simulation. The data that we have collected provide candidate structures for synthesis, reveal relationships between structural characteristics and performance, and suggest that it may be difficult to reach the current Advanced Research Project Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) target for natural gas storage.

However, there are some critical drawbacks limiting its application, such as safety and stability problems. In this work, a stable symmetric sodium-ion battery based on the bipolar, active O3-type material, Na0.8Ni0.4Ti0.6O2, is developed. This bipolar material shows a typical O3-type layered structure, containing two electrochemically active transition metals with redox couples of Ni4+/Ni2+ and Ti4+/Ti3+, respectively. This Na0.8Ni0.4Ti0.6O2-based symmetric cell exhibits a high average voltage of 2.8 V, a reversible discharge capacity of 85 mA h g(-1), 75% capacity retention after 150 cycles and good rate capability. This full symmetric cell will greatly contribute to the development of room-temperature sodium-ion batteries with a view towards safety, low cost and long life, and it will stimulate further research on symmetric cells using the same active materials as both cathode and anode.

TI Accelerating the spin-up of the coupled carbon and nitrogen cycle model in CLM4 SO GEOSCIENTIFIC MODEL DEVELOPMENT LA English DT Article ID LEAF-AREA INDEX; STEADY-STATE; LAND MODEL; SOIL BIOGEOCHEMISTRY; USE EFFICIENCY; ENERGY FLUXES; WATER-VAPOR; ECOSYSTEM; FOREST; DIOXIDE AB The commonly adopted biogeochemistry spin-up process in an Earth system model (ESM) is to run the model for hundreds to thousands of years subject to periodic atmospheric forcing to reach dynamic steady state of the carbon-nitrogen (CN) models. A variety of approaches have been proposed to reduce the computation time of the spin-up process. Significant improvement in computational efficiency has been made recently. However, a long simulation time is still required to reach the common convergence criteria of the coupled carbon-nitrogen model. A gradient projection method was proposed and used to further reduce the computation time after examining the trend of the dominant carbon pools. The Community Land Model version 4 (CLM4) with a carbon and nitrogen component was used in this study. From point-scale simulations, we found that the method can reduce the computation time by 20-69% compared to one of the fastest approaches in the literature. We also found that the cyclic stability of total carbon for some cases differs from that of the periodic atmospheric forcing, and some cases even showed instability. Close examination showed that one case has a carbon periodicity much longer than that of the atmospheric forcing due to the annual fire disturbance that is longer than half a year. The rest was caused by the instability of water table calculation in the hydrology model of CLM4. The instability issue is resolved after we replaced the hydrology scheme in CLM4 with a flow model for variably saturated porous media.

In this study, the SCM mode of version 5 of the Community Atmosphere Model (CAM5) is shown to handle aerosol initialization and advection improperly, resulting in aerosol, cloud-droplet, and ice crystal concentrations which are typically much lower than observed or simulated by CAM5 in global mode. This deficiency has a major impact on stratiform cloud simulations but has little impact on convective case studies because aerosol is currently not used by CAM5 convective schemes and convective cases are typically longer in duration (so initialization is less important). By imposing fixed aerosol or cloud-droplet and crystal number concentrations, the aerosol issues described above can be avoided. Sensitivity studies using these idealizations suggest that the Meyers et al. (1992) ice nucleation scheme prevents mixed-phase cloud from existing by producing too many ice crystals. Microphysics is shown to strongly deplete cloud water in stratiform cases, indicating problems with sequential splitting in CAM5 and the need for careful interpretation of output from sequentially split climate models. Droplet concentration in the general circulation model (GCM) version of CAM5 is also shown to be far too low (similar to 25 cm(-3)) at the southern Great Plains (SGP) Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) site.

The thermal conductivity of Ottawa sand under increasing confinement was also studied to offer a baseline for comparison. Simultaneous measurements of thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity and p-wave velocity were used to develop a parallel conduction model capable of predicting the thermal conductivity of dry granular media. The results suggest that the thermal conductivity of dry granular media is governed by the stiffness of the packing, regardless of whether it is electrically conductive or not. Furthermore, p-wave velocity measurements can be used to estimate the thermal conductivity of electrically conductive (granular lead) and non-conductive (Ottawa sand) granular media.

TI Parallel Operation of Multiple Closely Spaced Small Aspect Ratio Rod Pinches SO IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PLASMA SCIENCE LA English DT Article DE Rod pinch ID PARTICLE-IN-CELL; ELECTRON FLOW; RADIOGRAPHY SOURCE; DIODE; TRANSPORT; PLASMA; MV; PROPAGATION; SIMULATION; POWER AB A series of simulations and experiments to resolve questions about the operation of arrays of closely spaced small aspect ratio rod pinches has been performed. Design and postshot analysis of the experimental results are supported by 3-D particle-in-cell simulations. Both simulations and experiments support these conclusions. Penetration of current to the interior of the array appears to be efficient, as the current on the center rods is essentially equal to the current on the outer rods. Current loss in the feed due to the formation of magnetic nulls was avoided in these experiments by design of the feed surface of the cathode and control of the gap to keep the electric fields on the cathode below the emission threshold. Some asymmetry in the electron flow to the rod was observed, but the flow appeared to symmetrize as it reached the end of the rod. Interaction between the rod pinches can be controlled to allow the stable and consistent operation of arrays of rod pinches.

The high-Z members of this series form with the same crystal structure, and are therefore amenable to isostructural substitution studies. It is possible to tune the Bi-Sb and Te-Se ratios such that the material exhibits insulating behavior, thus providing an excellent platform for understanding how a topological insulator evolves with applied pressure. We report our observations of the pressure-dependent electrical transport and crystal structure of a pseudobinary (Bi, Sb)(2)(Te, Se)(3) compound. Similar to some of its sister compounds, the (Bi, Sb)(2)(Te, Se)(3) pseudobinary compound undergoes multiple, pressure-induced phase transformations that result in metallization, the onset of a close-packed crystal structure, and the development of distinct superconducting phases.

At ambient pressure, CeCoIn5 is a heavy fermion superconductor with T-c=2.3 K, and has moderately strong c-f hybridization. sigma(omega) at ambient pressure shows a marked infrared peak due to optical excitations involving the c-f hybridized state. With increasing pressure, the infrared peak becomes broader, and its center shifts to higher energy. This result indicates that the large density of states of the c-f hybridized state becomes broader with increasing pressure, and that the peak of the density of states shifts away from the Fermi level. Althouth such pressure evolution of the c-f hybridized state had been widely assumed on the basis of theoretical consideration, the present optical result demonstrates it clearly and directly.

Our temperature-dependent PEEM data demonstrate that the ferroelectric domain structure is robust against the onset of magnetic long-range order and the emergence of antiferromagnetic domains. The observed persistence indicates that antiferromagnetic domain walls adopt the position of ferroelectric walls - and not vice versa - developing a multiferroic domain-wall pattern congruent with the ferroelectric domain-wall distribution observed above T-N.

TI A GRADIENT-BASED SAMPLING APPROACH FOR DIMENSION REDUCTION OF PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS WITH STOCHASTIC COEFFICIENTS SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR UNCERTAINTY QUANTIFICATION LA English DT Article DE representation of uncertainty; stochastic model reduction method; stochastic sensitivity analysis; high-dimensional approximation; stochastic partial differential equations; Karhunen-Loeve expansion; Monte Carlo ID RANDOM INPUT DATA; COLLOCATION METHOD; SPARSE; INTERPOLATION; UNCERTAINTY AB We develop a projection-based dimension reduction approach for partial differential equations with high-dimensional stochastic coefficients. This technique uses samples of the gradient of the quantity of interest (QoI) to partition the uncertainty domain into "active" and "passive" subspaces. The passive subspace is characterized by near-constant behavior of the quantity of interest, while the active subspace contains the most important dynamics of the stochastic system. We also present a procedure to project the model onto the low-dimensional active subspace that enables the resulting approximation to be solved using conventional techniques. Unlike the classical Karhunen-Loeve expansion, the advantage of this approach is that it is applicable to fully nonlinear problems and does not require any assumptions on the correlation between the random inputs. This work also provides a rigorous convergence analysis of the quantity of interest and demonstrates: at least linear convergence with respect to the number of samples. It also shows that the convergence rate is independent of the number of input random variables. Thus, applied to a reducible problem, our approach can approximate the statistics of the QoI to within desired error tolerance at a cost that is orders of magnitude lower than standard Monte Carlo. Finally, several numerical examples demonstrate the feasibility of our approach and are used to illustrate the theoretical results. In particular, we validate our convergence estimates through the application of this approach to a reactor criticality problem with a large number of random cross-section parameters.

On-chip miniaturization and modularization of separation procedures will enable the development of customized, portable devices for personalized health-care diagnostics and point-of-use production of treatments. In this report, we describe the design and fabrication of miniature ion exchange, size exclusion and affinity chromatography modules for on-chip clean-up of recombinantly-produced proteins. Our results demonstrate that these common separations techniques can be implemented in microfluidic modules with performance comparable to conventional approaches. We introduce embedded 3-D microfluidic interconnects for integrating micro-scale separation modules that can be arranged and reconfigured to suit a variety of fluidic operations or biochemical processes. We demonstrate the utility of the modular approach with a platform for the enrichment of enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) from Escherichia coli lysate through integrated affinity and size-exclusion chromatography modules.

TI New surface radiolabeling schemes of super paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) for biodistribution studies SO NANOSCALE LA English DT Article ID ACCELERATOR MASS-SPECTROMETRY; IN-VITRO; DRUG-DELIVERY; MAGNETIC NANOPARTICLES; CANCER-THERAPY; TOXICITY; DESIGN; CELLS; LUNG; PHARMACOKINETICS AB Nanomaterial based drug delivery systems allow for the independent tuning of the surface chemical and physical properties that affect their biodistribution in vivo and the therapeutic payloads that they are intended to deliver. Additionally, the added therapeutic and diagnostic value of their inherent material properties often provides extra functionality. Iron based nanomaterials with their magnetic properties and easily tailorable surface chemistry are of particular interest as model systems. In this study the core radius of the iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs) was 14.08 +/- 3.92 nm while the hydrodynamic radius of the NPs, as determined by Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), was between 90-110 nm. In this study, different approaches were explored to create radiolabeled NPs that are stable in solution. The NPs were functionalized with polycarboxylate or polyamine surface functional groups. Polycarboxylate functionalized NPs had a zeta potential of -35 mV and polyamine functionalized NPs had a zeta potential of +40 mV. The polycarboxylate functionalized NPs were chosen for in vivo biodistribution studies and hence were radiolabeled with C-14, with a final activity of 0.097 nCi mg(-1) of NPs. In chronic studies, the biodistribution profile is tracked using low level radiolabeled proxies of the nanoparticles of interest. Conventionally, these radiolabeled proxies are chemically similar but not chemically identical to the non-radiolabeled NPs of interest. This study is novel as different approaches were explored to create radiolabeled NPs that are stable, possess a hydrodynamic radius of <100 nm and most importantly they exhibit an identical surface chemical functionality as their non-radiolabeled counterparts. Identical chemical functionality of the radiolabeled probes to the non-radiolabeled probes was an important consideration to generate statistically similar biodistribution data sets using multiple imaging and detection techniques. The radiolabeling approach described here is applicable to the synthesis of a large class of nanomaterials with multiple core and surface functionalities. This work combined with the biodistribution data suggests that the radiolabeling schemes carried out in this study have broad implications for use in pharmacokinetic studies for a variety of nanomaterials.

TI Precision printing and optical modeling of ultrathin SWCNT/C-60 heterojunction solar cells SO NANOSCALE LA English DT Article ID WALLED CARBON NANOTUBES; THIN-FILM PHOTOVOLTAICS; QUANTUM EFFICIENCY; EXCITON DIFFUSION; CHARGE GENERATION; TRANSPARENT; TRANSISTORS; COMPOSITES; ELEMENTS; SPECTRA AB Semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (s-SWCNTs) are promising candidates as the active layer in photovoltaics (PV), particularly for niche applications where high infrared absorbance and/or semi-transparent solar cells are desirable. Most current fabrication strategies for SWCNT PV devices suffer from relatively high surface roughness and lack nanometer-scale deposition precision, both of which may hamper the reproducible production of ultrathin devices. Additionally, detailed optical models of SWCNT PV devices are lacking, due in part to a lack of well-defined optical constants for high-purity s-SWCNT thin films. Here, we present an optical model that accurately reconstructs the shape and magnitude of spectrally resolved external quantum efficiencies for ultrathin (7,5) s-SWCNT/C-60 solar cells that are deposited by ultrasonic spraying. The ultrasonic spraying technique enables thickness tuning of the s-SWCNT layer with nanometer-scale precision, and consistently produces devices with low s-SWCNT film average surface roughness (R-q of <5 nm). Our optical model, based entirely on measured optical constants of each layer within the device stack, enables quantitative predictions of thickness-dependent relative photocurrent contributions of SWCNTs and C-60 and enables estimates of the exciton diffusion lengths within each layer. These results establish routes towards rational performance improvements and scalable fabrication processes for ultra-thin SWCNT-based solar cells.

The nature of the MO(NO3)(3)(-)products that result from NO2 elimination was evaluated by measuring the relative hydrolysis rates under thermalized conditions. Based on the experimental results it is inferred that the hydrolysis rates relate to the intrinsic stability of the M-IV oxidation states, which correlate with both the solution IV/III reduction potentials and the fourth ionization energies. Density functional theory computations of the energetics of hydrolysis and atoms-in-molecules bonding analysis of representative oxide and hydroxide nitrates substantiate the interpretations. The results allow differentiation between those MO(NO3)(3)(-) that comprise an O2- ligand with oxidation to M-IV and those that comprise a radical O- ligand with retention of the M-III oxidation state. In the particular cases of MO(NO3)(3)(-) for M = Pr, Nd and Tb it is proposed that the oxidation states are intermediate between M(III) and M(IV).

Daraio, Chiara TI Anomalous impact and strain responses in helical carbon nanotube foams SO RSC ADVANCES LA English DT Article ID MECHANICAL-PROPERTIES; TUBULE NANOCOILS; ARRAYS AB We describe the quasistatic and dynamic response of helical carbon nanotube (HCNT) foams in compression. Similarly to other CNT foams, HCNT foams exhibit preconditioning effects in response to cyclic loading; however, their fundamental deformation mechanisms are unique. In quasistatic compression, HCNT foams exhibit strain localization and collective structural buckling, nucleating at different weak sections throughout their thickness. In dynamic compression, they undergo progressive crushing, governed by the intrinsic density gradient along the thickness of the sample. HCNT microbundles often undergo brittle fracture that originates from nanoscale defects. Regardless of this microstructural damage, bulk HCNT foams exhibit super-compressibility and recover more than 90% of large compressive strains (up to 80%). When subjected to striker impacts, HCNT foams mitigate impact stresses more effectively compared to other CNT foams comprised of non-helical CNTs (similar to 50% improvement). The unique mechanical properties we revealed demonstrate that the HCNT foams are ideally suited for applications in packaging, impact protection, and vibration mitigation.

We derive the corresponding cross section formula in the leading order with respect to the QCD coupling constant. We also present a numerical calculation of the asymmetry at the RHIC energy, using a model for the three-gluon correlation functions suggested by the asymmetry for the D-meson production at RHIC. We found that the asymmetries for the light-hadron and the jet productions are very useful to constrain the magnitude and form of the correlation functions. Since the three-gluon correlation functions shift the asymmetry for all kinds of hadrons in the same direction, it is unlikely that they become a main source of the asymmetry.

In particular, we provide a new analysis within collinear factorization of TSSAs in high transverse momentum charged and neutral pion production in pp collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). This study incorporates the so-called twist-3 fragmentation term and shows that one can describe RHIC data through this mechanism. Moreover, by fixing other non-perturbative inputs through extractions of transverse momentum dependent functions in e(+)e(-) -> h(1)h(2)X and semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering (SIDIS), we provide for the first time a consistency between certain spin/azimuthal asymmetries in all three reactions (i.e., pp, e(+)e(-), and SIDIS).

TI The quantum/classical transition in mediated interactions SO ANNALEN DER PHYSIK LA English DT Article DE Cavity optomechanics; quantum to classical transition; multimode optomechanics ID CAVITY OPTOMECHANICS; QUANTUM; ATOMS AB Two quantum modes interacting via local couplings to a dissipative bosonic field are investigated theoretically. The model considers two mechanical modes with distinct frequencies coupled optomechanically to the same cavity mode. The dissipative cavity field mediates the interaction between the mechanical modes but also leads to decoherence of the mechanical oscillators. Depending on the ratio between effective interaction strength and dissipation rate, which can be chosen via the pump detuning, the interaction assumes a quantum mechanical or classical character. The distinction between the two regimes is made by the ability of the mediated interaction to correlate the two mechanical modes non-classically. For any cavity decay, there is a regime where the two mechanical modes interact in a non-classical way, which leads us to conclude that optomechanical systems can serve as a model to experimentally study the transition of effective interactions mediated by classical or quantum-mechanical fields.

They are recruited, via their tandem-SH2 (Src-homology domain 2) domains, to doubly phosphorylated immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs) on invariant chains of immune antigen receptors. Because of their critical roles in immune signalling, ZAP-70 and Syk are targets for the development of drugs for autoimmune diseases. We show that three thiol-reactive small molecules can prevent the tandem-SH2 domains of ZAP-70 and Syk from binding to phosphorylated ITAMs. We identify a specific cysteine residue in the phosphotyrosine-binding pocket of each protein (Cys39 in ZAP-70, Cys206 in Syk) that is necessary for inhibition by two of these compounds. We also find that ITAMbinding to ZAP-70 and Syk is sensitive to the presence of H2O2 and these two cysteine residues are also necessary for inhibition by H2O2. Our findings suggest a mechanism by which the reactive oxygen species generated during responses to antigen could attenuate signalling through these kinases and may also inform the development of ZAP-70 and Syk inhibitors that bind covalently to their SH2 domains.

TI THE EMERGENCE OF OPEN-SOURCE SOFTWARE FOR THE WEATHER RADAR COMMUNITY SO BULLETIN OF THE AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID C-BAND RADAR; REAL-TIME; ATTENUATION CORRECTION; RAINFALL ESTIMATION; DIFFERENTIAL PHASE; MOUNTAINOUS REGION; BEAM BLOCKAGE; IDENTIFICATION; ALGORITHMS; RETRIEVAL AB Weather radar analysis has become increasingly sophisticated over the past 50 years, and efforts to keep software up to date have generally lagged behind the needs of the users. We argue that progress has been impeded by the fact that software has not been developed and shared as a community. Recently, the situation has been changing. In this paper, the developers of a number of open-source software (OSS) projects highlight the potential of OSS to advance radar-related research. We argue that the community-based development of OSS holds the potential to reduce duplication of efforts and to create transparency in implemented algorithms while improving the quality and scope of the software. We also conclude that there is sufficiently mature technology to support collaboration across different software projects. This could allow for consolidation toward a set of interoperable software platforms, each designed to accommodate very specific user requirements.

Single crystal X-ray diffraction suggests that Yb7Ni4InGe12 crystallizes in the Yb7Ni4InGe12 structure type, and tetragonal space group P4/m and lattice constants are a = b = 10.291(2) angstrom and c = 4.1460(8)angstrom. The crystal structure of Yb7Ni4InGe12 consists of columnar units of three different types of channels filled with the Yb atoms. The crystal structure of Yb7Ni4InGe12 is closely related to Yb5Ni4Ge10. The effective magnetic moment obtained from the magnetic susceptibility measurements in the temperature range 200-300 K is 3.66 mu(B)/Yb suggests mixed/intermediate valence behavior of ytterbium atoms. X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES) confirms that Yb7Ni4InGe12 exhibits mixed valence.

All three ligands form 1 : 1 ML complexes (M = Eu3+ and L = ligand), and the stability constants (log beta) follow the order: L-I (-1.38 +/- 0.66) << L-II (3.71 +/- 0.02) < L-III (7.47 +/- 0.03), similar to the trend in the metal distribution coefficients in solvent extraction using these ligands as extractants. The enthalpy of complexation, determined by microcalorimetry, shows that the complexation of lanthanides with these bulky ligands is exothermic, and proceeds via replacement of water molecules from the primary coordination spheres. The 1 : 1 stoichiometry of the ML complexes was confirmed by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Results from optical absorption, luminescence and P-31-NMR spectroscopy suggest that, out of four pendent arms on the rigid calixarene platform, only two arms coordinate with the lanthanide ion and each arm is tridentate. The influence of structural features of the ligand on the complexation of lanthanides is explained with the help of thermodynamic parameters.

In most previous applications, this expression has been applied to capture into vibrationally excited Rydberg states with the assumption that capture is always followed by prompt dissociation. Here we consider the dissociative recombination of larger polyatomic ions and electrons. More specifically, we consider capture into electronically core-excited Rydberg states, and begin to assess its potential importance for larger systems. C1 [Pratt, S.

TI hBFT: Speculative Byzantine Fault Tolerance with Minimum Cost SO IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON DEPENDABLE AND SECURE COMPUTING LA English DT Article DE Distributed systems; client/server; fault tolerance; state machine replication ID ASYNCHRONOUS CONSENSUS; FAILURE DETECTOR; REPLICATION; SECURITY AB We present hBFT, a hybrid, Byzantine fault-tolerant, replicated state machine protocol with optimal resilience. Under normal circumstances, hBFT uses speculation, i.e., replicas directly adopt the order from the primary and send replies to the clients. As in prior work such as Zyzzyva, when replicas are out of order, clients can detect the inconsistency and help replicas converge on the total ordering. However, we take a different approach than previous work that has four distinct benefits: it requires many fewer cryptographic operations, it moves critical jobs to the clients with no additional costs, faulty clients can be detected and identified, and performance in the presence of client participation will not degrade as long as the primary is correct. The correctness is guaranteed by a three-phase checkpoint subprotocol similar to PBFT, which is tailored to our needs. The protocol is triggered by the primary when a certain number of requests are executed or by clients when they detect an inconsistency.

However, identification of PPIs in the endomembrane system in a relatively fast and simple fashion is technically challenging, hampering the progress in understanding the functional coordination of the enzymes in Golgi glycan biosynthesis. To solve the challenges, we adapted and streamlined a reversible Renilla luciferase protein complementation assay (Rluc-PCA), originally reported for use in human cells, for transient expression in Nicotiana benthamiana. We tested Rluc-PCA and successfully identified luminescence complementation amongst Golgi-localizing GTs known to form a heterodimer (GAUT1 and GAUT7) and those which homooligomerize (ARAD1). In contrast, no interaction was shown between negative controls (e.g. GAUT7, ARAD1, IRX9). Rluc-PCA was used to investigate PPIs amongst Golgi-localizing GTs involved in biosynthesis of hemicelluloses. Although no PPI was identified among six GTs involved in xylan biosynthesis, Rluc-PCA confirmed three previously proposed interactions and identified seven novel PPIs amongst GTs involved in xyloglucan biosynthesis. Notably, three of the novel PPIs were confirmed by a yeast-based split-ubiquitin assay. Finally, Gateway-enabled expression vectors were generated, allowing rapid construction of fusion proteins to the Rluc reporters and epitope tags. Our results show that Rluc-PCA coupled with transient expression in N. benthamiana is a fast and versatile method suitable for analysis of PPIs between Golgi resident proteins in an easy and mid-throughput fashion in planta.

Early results have suggested that, among the transition metal oxides, alpha manganese dioxide (alpha-MnO2) appears to offer electrocatalytic properties that can enhance the electrochemical properties of Li-O-2 cells, particularly during the early cycles. In this study, we have investigated the hybrid Li-ion/Li-O-2 character of alpha-MnO2 electrodes in Li-O-2 coin cells by in situ high-energy synchrotron X-ray diffraction, and compared the results with conventional Li/alpha-MnO2 coin cells assembled under argon. Complementary first principles density functional theory calculations have been used to shed light on competing lithium insertion and lithium and oxygen insertion reactions within the alpha-MnO2 tunnel structure during discharge, relative to lithium peroxide or lithium oxide formation.

Contrary to a commonly held assumption that the edge sharing tetrahedral sites in this structure are occupied exclusively by Al3+, we find a partial occupancy of Al3+ on these site but also an unexpected preference for Al3+ to occupy 2 other tetrahedral sites which are only corner sharing. From the crystal structures and local structures, as determined by pair distribution function (PDF) analysis, we also find evidence for alternating Si-Al site ordering within the edge sharing chains as well as dimerization of the Si4+ and Al3+ cations within these chains. The O2- are found to be partially ordered onto 2 of the anion sites, although small amounts of O2- are found on other sites as well. The cation and anion ordering found by neutron diffraction is supported by theoretical calculations. Understanding cation and anion ordering is essential for optimizing the photoluminescence properties of this promising class of phosphor materials.

To address this point, two phenazine derivatives, 7,8-bis(decyloxy)-3-(2-hydroxy-4,5-dinitrophenoxy) phenazin-2-ol (2OHPz) and 7,8-bis(decyloxy)3-( 2-(decyloxy)-4,5-dinitrophenoxy) phenazin-2-ol (1OHPz), have been successfully synthesized and characterized. These two compounds have the same electron-withdrawing groups (nitro and pyrazine) and molecular backbone, but different terminal substituted groups, which would be very helpful for us to understand how substituted groups affect the morphology and device performance. In fact, the sandwich-structured memory devices based on ITO/2OHPz/Al exhibited excellent ternary memory behavior with high ON2/ON1/OFF current ratios of 10(8.8)/10(3)/1 at switching threshold voltages of -1.80 V/-3.62 V while the memory devices based on ITO/1OHPz/Al displayed binary memory behavior with ON/OFF current ratios of 107.5/1 at a switching threshold voltage of -3.0 V. The different memory behaviors are attributed to the different molecular packing in the two phenazine derivatives, which is confirmed by AFM, XRD and UV-vis absorption. The AFM height image of the 2OHPz film thermally evaporated onto the ITO surface indicates the formation of self-organized fibril structures, which is in sharp contrast to that of the 1OHPz film. This variation suggests different degrees of aggregation in these films, which is also in accordance with the XRD and UV-vis absorption results. There is one diffraction peak at 2 theta 16.11 degrees for the film of 2OHPz, indicating the formation of a more ordered structure in the thin film. In contrast, there is no obvious diffraction peak in the film of 1OHPz. Moreover, the UV-vis absorption wavelength of the thin film of 2OHPz is blue-shifted by similar to 10 nm more than that of 1OHPz film compared to those in dichloromethane.

The first stage database is constructed using the R-matrix with pseudostates, time-dependent close-coupling, and perturbative distorted-wave methods. A second stage collision database is then assembled which contains generalized collisional-radiative ionization, recombination, and power loss rate coefficients as a function of both temperature and density. The second stage database is constructed by solution of the collisional-radiative equations in the quasi-static equilibrium approximation using the first stage database. Both collision database stages reside in electronic form at the IAEA Labeled Atomic Data Interface (ALADDIN) database and the Atomic Data Analysis Structure (ADAS) open database. C1 [Loch, S.

Methods capable of quantifying these species in solution are therefore of paramount importance to revealing electrochemical pathways. Here we utilize DFT based X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) simulations at the sulfur K-edge to obtain the spectra of polysulfide molecules in neutral, radical (-1) and dianionic (-2) charge states. Our calculations indicate that, contrary to recent propositions, the observed low energy, pre-edge feature in S K-edge XAS near 2470 eV is not exclusively due to radical species, but rather arises predominantly from core-excitations of terminal atoms, at the ends of linear polysulfides, to sigma* orbitals, consistent with our previous results for the dianionic species. We do however find a spectral feature unique to radicals, lying 0.5-1 eV below the established pre-edge, that arises from 1s -> pi* transitions of the terminal atoms. Existing measurements on polysulfides show no evidence for such transitions. We predict that detection of linear radicals in polysulfide mixtures using XAS is limited to high mole fractions (>20%), due to the relatively weak XAS intensity of this pi* feature.

Previously reported PEO nanocomposite electrolytes routinely use metal oxide nanoparticles that are often 5-10 nm in diameter or larger. The mechanism of those oxide particle-based polymer nanocomposite electrolytes is under debate and the ion transport performance of these systems is still to be improved. Herein we report a 6-fold ion conductivity enhancement in PEO/lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide (LiTFSI)-based solid electrolytes upon the addition of fullerene derivatives. The observed conductivity improvement correlates with nanometer-scale fullerene crystallite formation, reduced crystallinities of both the (PEO) 6: LiTFSI phase and pure PEO, as well as a significantly larger PEO free volume. This improved performance is further interpreted by enhanced decoupling between ion transport and polymer segmental motion, as well as optimized permittivity and conductivity in bulk and grain boundaries. This study suggests that nanoparticle induced morphological changes, in a system with fullerene nanoparticles and no Lewis acidic sites, play critical roles in their ion conductivity enhancement. The marriage of fullerene derivatives and solid polymer electrolytes opens up significant opportunities in designing next-generation solid polymer electrolytes with improved performance.

In these systems, the reaction takes place between metals or metals and ligands to facilitate charge transfer, bond formation/breaking, substrate binding, and release of products. In this study, we present a method to detect X-ray emission signals from multiple elements simultaneously, which allows for the study of charge transfer and the sequential chemistry occurring between elements. K beta X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) probes charge and spin states of metals as well as their ligand environment. A wavelength-dispersive spectrometer based on the von Hamos geometry was used to disperse K beta signals of multiple elements onto a position detector, enabling an XES spectrum to be measured in a single-shot mode. This overcomes the scanning needs of the scanning spectrometers, providing data free from temporal and normalization errors and therefore ideal to follow sequential chemistry at multiple sites. We have applied this method to study MnOx-based bifunctional electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). In particular, we investigated the effects of adding a secondary element, Ni, to form MnNiOx and its impact on the chemical states and catalytic activity, by tracking the redox characteristics of each element upon sweeping the electrode potential. The detection scheme we describe here is general and can be applied to time-resolved studies of materials consisting of multiple elements, to follow the dynamics of catalytic and electron transfer reactions.

However, these tools can also be useful for experiment planning and analysis. To this end, the McStas Monte Carlo ray tracing model of SEQUOIA, the fine resolution fermi chopper spectrometer at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) of Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), has been modified to include the time of flight resolution sample and detector components. With these components, the resolution ellipsoid can be calculated for any detector pixel and energy bin of the instrument. The simulation is split in two pieces. First, the incident beamline up to the sample is simulated for 1 x 10(11) neutron packets (4 days on 30 cores). This provides a virtual source for the backend that includes the resolution sample and monitor components. Next, a series of detector and energy pixels are computed in parallel. It takes on the order of 30 s to calculate a single resolution ellipsoid on a single core. Python scripts have been written to transform the ellipsoid into the space of an oriented single crystal, and to characterize the ellipsoid in various ways. Though this tool is under development as a planning tool, we have successfully used it to provide the resolution function for convolution with theoretical models. Specifically, theoretical calculations of the spin waves in YFeO3 were compared to measurements taken on SEQUOIA. Though the overall features of the spectra can be explained while neglecting resolution effects, the variation in intensity of the modes is well described once the resolution is included. As this was a single sharp mode, the simulated half intensity value of the resolution ellipsoid was used to provide the resolution width. A description of the simulation, its use, and paths forward for this technique will be discussed. C1 [Granroth, G. E.] Oak Ridge Natl Lab, Neutron Data Anal & Visualizat Div, Oak Ridge, TN 37831 USA.

With the advent of new high-flux neutron spectrometers in combination with enhanced analysis frameworks it has become possible to separate these different contributions. We discuss new approaches to the analysis by presenting example spectra and fits from data recorded on the backscattering spectrometers IN16, IN16B, and BASIS on the same protein solution sample. We illustrate the separation of the rotational and translational diffusion contribution, the accurate treatment of the solvent contribution, and the extraction of information on internal fluctuations.

The incident neutron beam is monochromated using a Fermi chopper with short, straight blades, and is then vertically focused by Bragg scattering onto the sample position by either a highly oriented pyrolitic graphite (unpolarized) or a Heusler (polarized) crystal array. Neutrons are detected by a bank of He-3 tubes that can be positioned over a wide range of scattering angles about the sample axis. HYSPEC entered the user program in February 2013 for unpolarized experiments, and is already experiencing a vibrant research program. Polarization analysis will be accomplished by using the Heusler crystal array to polarize the incident beam, and either a He-3 spin filter or a supermirror wide-angle polarization analyser to analyse the scattered beam. The He-3 spin filter employs the spin-exchange optical pumping technique. A 60 degrees wide angle He-3 cell that matches the detector coverage will be used for polarization analysis. The polarized gas in the post-sample wide angle cell is designed to be periodically and automatically refreshed with an adjustable pressure of polarized gas, optically pumped in a separate cell and then transferred to the wide angle cell. The supermirror analyser has 960 supermirror polarizers distributed over 60 degrees, and has been characterized at the Swiss Spallation Neutron Source. The current status of the instrument and the development of its polarization analysis capabilities are presented. C1 [Winn, Barry; Garlea, V.

We prepared high quality Tm5Ge4, and report the detailed crystal structure and magnetic properties. Tm5Ge4 crystallizes in the Sm5Ge4-type ortho-rhombic structure at room temperature, and orders antiferromagnetically at T-N' = 13 and T-N = 21 K. The paramagnetic Curie temperature of Tm5Ge4 is positive (theta(p) = 16 K), and the effective magnetic moment (p(eff) = 7.4 mu(B)/Tm) is in good agreement with the theoretical value of 7.56 mu(B)/Tm3+. The ac susceptibility of Tm5Ge4 shows obvious frequency dependence behaviors suggesting the existence of a ferromagnetic cluster in the antiferromagnetic substance. According to the magnetic hysteresis loop, the intrinsic coercivity of Tm5Ge4 is 2616 Oe at 2 K. Tm5Ge4 exhibits an oscillating magnetocaloric effect owing to a metamagnetic-like transformation induced by a critical magnetic field below 21 K.

However, there has been no satisfactory means to directly prepare the pentavalent state (Am-V) in that medium. Some early literature reports indicated that the peroxydisulfate oxidation was incomplete, and silver ion catalysis in conjunction with peroxydisulfate became accepted as the means to ensure quantitative generation of Am-VI. Incomplete oxidation would be expected to leave residual Am-III, or to produce Am-V in treated solutions. However, until recently, the use of peroxydisulfate as an Am-V reagent has not been reported. Here, parameters influencing the oxidation were investigated, including peroxydisulfate and acid concentration, temperature, duration of oxidative treatment, and the presence of higher concentrations of other redox active metals such as plutonium. Using optimized conditions determined here, quantitative Am-V was prepared in an acidic solution and the UV/Vis extinction coefficients of the Am-V 513 nm peak were measured over a range of nitric acid concentrations. The utility of Am-V for separations from the lanthanides and curium by solvent extraction, organic column chromatography and inorganic ion exchangers was also investigated.

The present study investigated microbial lipid production from Ammonia Fiber Expansion (AFEX) pretreated and hydrolyzed corn stover (CS) using an oleaginous yeast strain Lipomyces tetrasporus NRRL Y-11562. Process conditions were optimized for carbon to nitrogen ratio of fermentation medium, fermentation temperature and pH, and solid loading of AFEX-CS. The inhibitory effect of AFEX degradation products on lipid fermentation was also investigated. Both separate hydrolysis and fermentation (SHF) and Rapid Bioconversion with Integrated recycle Technology (RaBIT) processes were used for lipid production. From 1 kg AFEX-CS, 36.7 g lipids were produced via SHF at a titer of 8.4 g L-1 with a yield of 0.08 g g(-1) consumed sugar. A yeast meal stream (97.9 g) was also generated. L. tetrasporus NRRL Y-11562 grew better in AFEX-CS hydrolysate, but produced fewer lipids compared to synthetic medium. Minimal washing of AFEX-CS improved the lipid yield and titer to 0.10 g g(-1) consumed sugar and 10.7 g L-1, respectively. RaBIT on washed AFEX-CS generated a similar amount of lipids compared to SHF with 35% lower enzyme loading. Economic analysis does not favor lignocellulosic lipid production with current lipid yields.

TI How Oxidation and Dissolution in Diabase and Granite Control Porosity during Weathering SO SOIL SCIENCE SOCIETY OF AMERICA JOURNAL LA English DT Article ID SMALL-ANGLE SCATTERING; NEUTRON-SCATTERING; VIRGINIA PIEDMONT; FRACTAL GEOMETRY; SAPONITE SERIES; PUERTO-RICO; ROCKS; REPLACEMENT; EVOLUTION; REGOLITH AB Weathering extends to shallower depths on diabase than granite ridgetops despite similar climate and geomorphological regimes of denudation in the Virginia (United States) Piedmont. Deeper weathering has been attributed to advective transport of solutes in granitic rock compared to diffusive transport in diabase. We use neutron scattering (NS) techniques to quantify the total and connected submillimeter porosity (nominal diameters between 1 nm and 10 mm) and specific surface area (SSA) during weathering. The internal surface of each unweathered rock is characterized as both a mass fractal and a surface fractal. The mass fractal describes the distribution of pores (similar to 300 nm to similar to 5 mu m) along grain boundaries and triple junctions. The surface fractal is interpreted as the distribution of smaller features (1-300 nm), that is, the bumps (or irregularities) at the grain-pore interface. The earliest porosity development in the granite is driven by microfracturing of biotite, which leads to the introduction of fluids that initiate dissolution of other silicates. Once plagioclase weathering begins, porosity increases significantly and the mass + surface fractal typical for unweathered granite transforms to a surface fractal as infiltration of fluids continues. In contrast, the mass + surface fractal does not transform to a surface fractal during weathering of the diabase, perhaps consistent with the interpretation that solute transport is dominated by diffusion in that rock. The difference in regolith thickness between granite and diabase is likely due to the different mechanisms of solute transport across the primary silicate reaction front.

The purpose of this work was to investigate the behavior of Ca-40 + Zr-96 fusion far below the barrier. The smooth trend of the excitation function has been found to continue, and the logarithmic slope increases very slowly. No indication of hindrance shows up, and a comparison with Ca-48 + Zr-96 is very useful in this respect. A new CC analysis of the complete excitation function has been performed, including explicitly one- and two-nucleon Q > 0 transfer channels. Such transfer couplings bring significant cross section enhancements, even at the level of a few mu b. Locating the hindrance threshold, if any, in Ca-40 + Zr-96 would require challenging measurements of cross sections in the sub-mu b range. C1 [Stefanini, A.

Recent advances in colloidal synthetic techniques enable preparing diverse metallic or bimetallic nanoparticles with well-defined size, shape, and composition and porous oxides as a high surface support. As nanoparticles become smaller, new chemical, physical, and catalytic properties emerge. Geometrically, as the smaller the nanoparticle the greater the relative number of edge and corner sites per unit surface of the nanoparticle. When the nanoparticles are smaller than a critical size (2.7 nm), finite-size effects such as a change of adsorption strength or oxidation state are revealed by changes in their electronic structures. By alloying two metals, the formation of heteroatom bonds and geometric effects such as strain due to the change of metal-metal bond lengths cause new electronic structures to appear in bimetallic nanoparticles. Ceaseless catalytic reaction studies have been discovered that the highest reaction yields, product selectivity, and process stability were achieved by determining the critical size, shape, and composition of nanoparticles and by choosing the appropriate oxide support. Depending on the pore size, various kinds of micro-, meso-, and macro-porous materials are fabricated by the aid of structure-directing agents or hard-templates. Recent achievements for the preparation of versatile core/shell nanostructures composing mesoporous oxides, zeolites, and metal organic frameworks provide new insights toward nanocatalysis with novel ideas.

Surface tools and techniques, when conducted under catalytically relevant temperature and pressure conditions, render possible measurements of dynamic surface properties such as oxidation state, composition, coordination, and bonding. Near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy with purposely built in situ reaction cells and ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (APXPS) provide (near) surface sensitive and chemical specific information on the oxidation states of metal and oxide (co-)catalysts as well as adsorbent functional elements such C, O and N under reactive gas atmospheres and even liquid environments. Likewise, sum frequency generation (SFG) vibrational spectroscopy with in situ reaction cells helps uncover the bonding geometry and configuration of the topmost surface again under conditions pertinent to catalysis. Furthermore, the local dynamics in the nanoscale and on the single particle level are revealed by environmental transmission electron microscopy (ETEM) and the spectro-microscopy techniques equipped within. A correlative approach, where an array of these in situ tools and techniques were conducted in parallel with catalytic measurements, was employed to gain molecular insight into some of the modern scientific challenges in heterogeneous catalysis. Several case examples of this correlative approach are presented here. The CO oxidation reaction over hybrid nano-catalysts of Pt nanoparticles (NPs) with various mesoporous metal oxides such as Co3O4, MnO2 and CeO2 was explored in relation to bifunctional catalysis and interfacial charge transfer chemistry by using in situ NEXAFS spectroscopy. Likewise, bimetallic CoPt and PtSn nanoparticle catalysts supported on silica were investigated by using a combination of in situ NEXAFS spectroscopy and APXPS. Next, CO2 hydrogenation was carried out over bimetallic CoPt/SiO2 and Co/TiO2 hybrid nano-catalysts. In this case, in situ NEXAFS spectroscopy, APXPS, and ETEM indicated severe, yet reversible, surface restructuring that involved hydrogen atom spillover. Finally, similar to 2 nm Pt NPs were investigated using in situ SFG to study hydrogenation and hydrogenative isomerization reactions. Specifically, SFG indicated that the hydrogenation of furfural and crotonaldehyde proceed by interfacial hydrogen atom spillover from TiO2, while the hydrogenative isomerization of methylcyclopentane (MCP) proceeds by spillover and surface diffusion of cyclohexene over mesoporous zeolites. These studies unequivocally indicated the presence of a particular reaction channel that involved one way flow of charged (i.e. electrons or protons) or neutral species (i.e. reactants) at a broadly defined interface between metals and oxides. In addition to these case studies, experimental approaches employing capillary flow micro-reactors are discussed in relation toward the goal of short time resolutions that could help isolate such charged or neutral intermediates in the future.

Expression of heterologous proteins in H. jecorina was once considered difficult when the target was an improved variant of a native cellulase. Developments over the past nearly 30 years have produced strains, vectors, and selection mechanisms that have continued to simplify and streamline heterologous protein expression in this fungus. More recent developments in fungal molecular biology have pointed the way toward a fundamental transformation in the ease and efficiency of heterologous protein expression in this important industrial host. Here, I) we provide a historical perspective on advances in H. jecorina molecular biology, 2) outline host strain engineering, transformation, selection, and expression strategies, 3) detail potential pitfalls when working with this organism, and 4) provide consolidated examples of successful cellulase expression outcomes from our laboratory.

Stepwise optical excitation, energy transfer, and various nonlinear and collective light-matter interaction processes act together to convert low-energy photons into short-wavelength light emission. Upconversion luminescence from nanomaterials exhibits additional size and surface dependencies. A fundamental understanding of the overall performance of an upconversion system requires basic theories on the spectroscopic properties of solids containing rare earth ions. This review article surveys the recent progress in the theoretical interpretations of the spectroscopic characteristics and luminescence dynamics of photon upconversion in rare earth activated phosphors. The primary aspects of upconversion processes, including energy level splitting, transition probability, line broadening, nonradiative relaxation and energy transfer, are covered with an emphasis on interpreting experimental observations. Theoretical models and methods for analyzing nano-phenomena in upconversion are introduced with detailed discussions on recently reported experimental results.

The optical properties of upconverting nanomaterials are determined by their combination of lanthanide dopants, by their morphology, by their host matrices, and by their surface ligands. Identifying ideal compositions and synthesis conditions for these materials can be tedious and time-consuming due to the large number of parameters to optimize. This review surveys the use of combinatorial strategies to rapidly screen and optimize diverse libraries of upconverting nanomaterials. I will review high-throughput techniques for synthesizing and characterizing large libraries of nanocrystals, and I will discuss theoretical methods for modeling the optical properties of lanthanide-doped materials. Case studies will illustrate the use of these approaches for optimizing the physical properties of upconverting nanoparticles, including cases in which unexpected phenomena were revealed. Finally, this review will identify promising opportunities in which combinatorial techniques could accelerate on-going research or facilitate the discovery of novel upconverting nanomaterials that overcome fundamental limitations of current material designs.

They are potential biological warfare and bioterrorism agents due to their high toxicity and ease of preparation. On the other hand BoNTs are also being increasingly used for therapeutic and cosmetic purposes, and with that the chances of accidental overdose are increasing. And despite the potential damage they could cause to human health, there are no post-intoxication drugs available so far. But progress is being made in this direction. The crystal structures in native form and bound with substrate peptides have been determined, and these are enabling structure-based drug discovery possible. High throughput assays have also been designed to speed up the screening progress. Substrate-based and small molecule inhibitors have been identified. But turning high affinity inhibitors into clinically viable drug candidates has remained a challenge. We discuss here the latest developments and the future challenges in drug discovery for Botulinum neurotoxins.

To determine these bond strengths, thermodynamic constants describing the stability of H+, H-center dot, H-, and H-2 are essential and need to be used uniformly to enable the prediction of reactivity and equilibria. Due to discrepancies in the literature for the constants used in water, we propose the use of a set of self-consistent constants with convenient standard states.

To enable future therapeutic efficacy, the survival, proliferation, migration and differentiation of neural stem/progenitor cells (NPCs) should be accurately studied and optimized in in vitro platforms before transplanting these cells into the body for treatment purposes. Such studies can determine the appropriate quantities of the biochemical and biomechanical factors needed to control and optimize NPC behavior in vivo. In this study, NPCs were cultured within a microfluidic device while being encapsulated within the collagen matrix. The migration and differentiation of NPCs were studied in response to varying concentrations of nerve growth factor (NGF) and within varying densities of collagen matrices. It was shown that the migration and differentiation of NPCs can be significantly improved by providing the appropriate range of NGF concentrations while encapsulating the cells within the collagen matrix of optimal density. In particular, it was observed that within collagen matrices of intermediate density (0.9 mg ml(-1)), NPCs have a higher ability to migrate farther and in a collective manner while their differentiation into neurons is significantly higher and the cells can form protrusions and connections with their neighboring cells. Within collagen matrices with higher densities (1.8 mg ml (-1)), the cells did not migrate significantly as compared to the ones within lower matrix densities; within the matrices with lower collagen densities (0.45 mg ml(-1)) most of the cells migrated in an individual manner. However, no significant differentiation into neurons was observed for these two cases. It was also found that depending on the collagen matrix density, a minimum concentration of NGF caused a collective migration of NPCs, and a minimum concentration gradient of this factor stimulated the directional navigation of the cells. The results of this study can be implemented in designing platforms appropriate for regeneration of damaged neuronal systems. C1 [Shamloo, Amir; Heibatollahi, Motahare; Mofrad, Mohammad R.

Within forests, annual burned area correlated at least as strongly with spring-summer vapour pressure deficit (VPD) as with 14 other drought-related metrics, including more complex metrics that explicitly represent fuel moisture. Particularly strong correlations with VPD arise partly because this term dictates the atmospheric moisture demand. Additionally, VPD responds to moisture supply, which is difficult to measure and model regionally due to complex micrometeorology, land cover and terrain. Thus, VPD appears to be a simple and holistic indicator of regional water balance. Coupled with the well-known positive influence of prior-year cold season precipitation on fuel availability and connectivity, VPD may be utilised for burned area forecasts and also to infer future trends, though these are subject to other complicating factors such as land cover change and management. Assuming an aggressive greenhouse gas emissions scenario, climate models predict mean spring-summer VPD will exceed the highest recorded values in the southwest in nearly 40% of years by the middle of this century. These results forewarn of continued increases in burned forest area in the southwest United States, and likely elsewhere, when fuels are not limiting. C1 [Williams, A.

The formulation of the solution from which the active layer is spincoated plays an important role in the quest for morphology control. We have studied how the choice of solvent and the use of small amounts of a low vapour pressure additive in the coating solution influence the film morphology and the solar cell performance for blends of poly[2,3-bis-(3-octyloxyphenyl) quinoxaline-5,8-diyl-altthiophene-2,5-diyl] (TQ1) and [6,6]-phenyl C-71-butyric acid methyl ester (PC70BM). We have investigated the lateral morphology using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM), the vertical morphology using dynamic secondary ion mass spectrometry (d-SIMS) and variable-angle spectroscopic ellipsometry (VASE), and the surface composition using near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS). The lateral phase-separated domains observed in films spincoated from single solvents, increase in size with increasing solvent vapour pressure and decreasing PC70BM solubility, but are not observed when 1-chloronaphthalene (CN) is added. A strongly TQ1-enriched surface layer is formed in all TQ1: PC70BM blend films and rationalized by surface energy differences. The photocurrent and power conversion efficiency strongly increased upon the addition of CN, while the leakage current decreased by one to two orders of magnitude. The higher photocurrent correlates with the finer lateral structure and stronger TQ1-enrichment at the interface with the electron-collecting electrode. This indicates that the charge transport and collection are not hindered by this polymer-enriched surface layer. Neither the open-circuit voltage nor the series resistance of the devices are sensitive to the differences in morphology. C1 [Hansson, Rickard; Ericsson, Leif K.

The same crystal structure, identical particle surface morphology and the similar particle size distribution (30-50 nm) of these intermetallic MSn5 (M = Fe, Co and FeCo) phases are ideal for comparison of the electrochemical performance, reaction mechanism, thermodynamics and kinetics during lithiation/delithiation. Importantly, MSn5 (M = Fe, Co and FeCo) phases with defect structures Fe0.74Sn5, Co0.83Sn5 and Fe0.35Co0.35Sn5, exhibit the highest theoretical capacity of >917 mA h g(-1) among the reported M-Sn (M is electro-chemically inactive) based intermetallic anodes. The ex situ XRD and XAFS illustrate the complete reversibility of MSn5 (M = Fe, Co and FeCo) phases during lithium insertion/extraction for the first cycle. The Fe0.35Co0.35Sn5 anode can take advantage of both high capacity of Fe0.74Sn5 and long cycle life of Co0.83Sn5, providing 736 mA h g(-1) and maintaining 92.7% of initial capacity after 100 cycles with an average capacity loss of only 0.07% per cycle. The excellent electrochemical performance of the Fe0.5Co0.5Sn5 system is attributed to higher reversibility, lower reaction resistance. This work provides a novel insight toward designing and exploring an optimal Sn based alloy anode for next generation Li-ion batteries.

Comprehensive control measurements and X-ray absorption near-edge structure spectroscopy indicate that the Raman enhancement on AgClxBr1-x nanocube photonic crystals is primarily ascribed to the chemical enhancement mechanism associated with the chemical interactions between adsorbing molecules and the AgClxBr1-x surfaces. In addition, the ordering of AgClxBr1-x nanocubes in the photonic crystals can selectively reflect Raman scattering back to the detector at the bandgap position of the photonic crystals to provide additional enhancement, i.e., photonic mode enhancement. The thiophenol molecules adsorbed on AgCl0.44Br0.56 nanocube photonic crystals exhibit astonishingly strong Raman signals that are on the same order of magnitude as those recorded from the thiophenol molecules adsorbed on the assembled Ag nanocubes.

TI Broader view on extreme ultraviolet masks: adding complementary imaging modes to the SHARP microscope SO JOURNAL OF MICRO-NANOLITHOGRAPHY MEMS AND MOEMS LA English DT Article DE photomask; extreme ultraviolet; mask imaging; zoneplate; Zernike phase contrast; differential interference contrast ID X-RAY MICROSCOPY; PHASE-CONTRAST; ZONE PLATES AB The authors are expanding the capabilities of the SHARP microscope by implementing complementary imaging modes. SHARP (the SEMATECH High-NA Actinic Reticle Review Project) is an actinic, synchrotron-based microscope dedicated to extreme ultraviolet photomask research. SHARP's programmable Fourier synthesis illuminator and its use of Fresnel zoneplate lenses as imaging optics provide a versatile framework, facilitating the implementation of diverse modes beyond conventional imaging. In addition to SHARP's set of standard zoneplates, we have created more than 100 zoneplates for complementary imaging modes, all designed to extract additional information from photomasks, to improve navigation, and to enhance defect detection. More than 50 new zoneplates are installed in the tool; the remaining lenses are currently in production. We discuss the design and fabrication of zoneplates for complementary imaging modes and present image data, obtained using Zernike phase contrast and different implementations of differential interference contrast (DIC). First results show that Zernike phase contrast can significantly increase the signal from phase defects in SHARP image data, thus improving the sensitivity of the microscope. DIC is effective on a variety of features, including phase defects and intensity speckle from substrate and multilayer roughness. The additional imaging modes are now available to users of the SHARP microscope. (C) The Authors.

TI CceR and AkgR Regulate Central Carbon and Energy Metabolism in Alphaproteobacteria SO MBIO LA English DT Article ID RHODOBACTER-SPHAEROIDES; ESCHERICHIA-COLI; BACILLUS-SUBTILIS; CATABOLITE REPRESSION; MICROBIAL-METABOLISM; GLUCOSE-METABOLISM; GENE-EXPRESSION; BINDING-SITE; PROTEIN; IDENTIFICATION AB Many pathways of carbon and energy metabolism are conserved across the phylogeny, but the networks that regulate their expression or activity often vary considerably among organisms. In this work, we show that two previously uncharacterized transcription factors (TFs) are direct regulators of genes encoding enzymes of central carbon and energy metabolism in the alphaproteobacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides. The LacI family member CceR (RSP_1663) directly represses genes encoding enzymes in the Entner-Doudoroff pathway, while activating those encoding the F1F0 ATPase and enzymes of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and gluconeogenesis, providing a direct transcriptional network connection between carbon and energy metabolism. We identified bases that are important for CceR DNA binding and showed that DNA binding by this TF is inhibited by 6-phosphogluconate. We also showed that the GntR family TF AkgR (RSP_0981) directly activates genes encoding several TCA cycle enzymes, and we identified conditions where its activity is increased. The properties of single and double Delta CceR and Delta AkgR mutants illustrate that these 2 TFs cooperatively regulate carbon and energy metabolism. Comparative genomic analysis indicates that CceR and AkgR orthologs are found in other alphaproteobacteria, where they are predicted to have a conserved function in regulating central carbon metabolism. Our characterization of CceR and AkgR has provided important new insight into the networks that control central carbon and energy metabolism in alphaproteobacteria that can be exploited to modify or engineer new traits in these widespread and versatile bacteria. IMPORTANCE To extract and conserve energy from nutrients, cells coordinate a set of metabolic pathways into integrated networks. Many pathways that conserve energy or interconvert metabolites are conserved across cells, but the networks regulating these processes are often highly variable. In this study, we characterize two previously unknown transcriptional regulators of carbon and energy metabolism that are conserved in alphaproteobacteria, a group of abundant, environmentally and biotechnologically important organisms. We identify the genes they regulate, the DNA sequences they recognize, the metabolite that controls the activity of one of the regulators, and conditions where they are required for growth. We provide important new insight into conserved cellular networks that can also be used to improve a variety of hosts for converting feedstock into valuable products.

We hypothesize that protein A, a factor that binds immunoglobulin Fc gamma and cross-links V(H)3 clan B cell receptors (IgM), is the staphylococcal determinant for host immune suppression. To test this, vertebrate IgM was examined for protein A cross-linking. High V(H)3 binding activity occurred with human and guinea immunoglobulin, whereas mouse and rabbit immunoglobulins displayed little and no binding, respectively. Establishing a guinea pig model of S. aureus bloodstream infection, we show that protein A functions as a virulence determinant and suppresses host B cell responses. Immunization with SpA(KKAA), which cannot bind immunoglobulin, elicits neutralizing antibodies that enable guinea pigs to develop protective immunity. IMPORTANCE Staphylococcus aureus is the leading cause of soft tissue and bloodstream infections; however, a vaccine with clinical efficacy is not available. Using mice to model staphylococcal infection, earlier work identified protective antigens; however, corresponding human clinical trials did not reach their endpoints. We show that B cell receptor (IgM) cross-linking by protein A is an important immune evasion strategy of S. aureus that can be monitored in a guinea pig model of bloodstream infection. Further, immunization with nontoxigenic protein A enables infected guinea pigs to elicit antibody responses that are protective against S. aureus. Thus, the guinea pig model may support preclinical development of staphylococcal vaccines.

Li, Huiying TI Dynamic Changes in the Subgingival Microbiome and Their Potential for Diagnosis and Prognosis of Periodontitis SO MBIO LA English DT Article ID TREPONEMA-DENTICOLA; DISEASE; HEALTH; BACTERIA; CHEMOTAXIS; DISCOVERY; VISUALIZATION; DIVERSITY; MOTILITY AB The human microbiome influences and reflects the health or disease state of the host. Periodontitis, a disease affecting about half of American adults, is associated with alterations in the subgingival microbiome of individual tooth sites. Although it can be treated, the disease can reoccur and may progress without symptoms. Without prognostic markers, follow-up examinations are required to assess reoccurrence and disease progression and to determine the need for additional treatments. To better identify and predict the disease progression, we aim to determine whether the subgingival microbiome can serve as a diagnosis and prognosis indicator. Using metagenomic shotgun sequencing, we characterized the dynamic changes in the subgingival microbiome in periodontitis patients before and after treatment at the same tooth sites. At the taxonomic composition level, the periodontitis-associated microorganisms were significantly shifted from highly correlated in the diseased state to poorly correlated after treatment, suggesting that coordinated interactions among the pathogenic microorganisms are essential to disease pathogenesis. At the functional level, we identified disease-associated pathways that were significantly altered in relative abundance in the two states. Furthermore, using the subgingival microbiome profile, we were able to classify the samples to their clinical states with an accuracy of 81.1%. Follow-up clinical examination of the sampled sites supported the predictive power of the microbiome profile on disease progression. Our study revealed the dynamic changes in the subgingival microbiome contributing to periodontitis and suggested potential clinical applications of monitoring the subgingival microbiome as an indicator in disease diagnosis and prognosis. IMPORTANCE Periodontitis is a common oral disease. Although it can be treated, the disease may reoccur without obvious symptoms. Current clinical examination parameters are useful in disease diagnosis but cannot adequately predict the outcome of individual tooth sites after treatment. A link between the subgingival microbiota and periodontitis was identified previously; however, it remains to be investigated whether the microbiome can serve as a diagnostic and prognostic indicator. In this study, for the first time, we characterized the subgingival microbiome of individual tooth sites before and after treatment using a large-scale metagenomic analysis. Our longitudinal study revealed changes in the microbiota in taxonomic composition, cooccurrence of subgingival microorganisms, and functional composition. Using the microbiome profiles, we were able to classify the clinical states of subgingival plaque samples with a high accuracy. Follow-up clinical examination of sampled sites indicates that the subgingival microbiome profile shows promise for the development of diagnostic and prognostic tools.

To address this challenge, over the past decade, numerous technologies have been developed for interrogating microbial communities, of which some are amenable to exploratory work (e. g., high-throughput sequencing and phenotypic screening) and others depend on reference genes or genomes (e. g., phylogenetic and functional gene arrays). Here, we provide a critical review and synthesis of the most commonly applied "open-format" and "closed-format" detection technologies. We discuss their characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages within the context of environmental applications and focus on analysis of complex microbial systems, such as those in soils, in which diversity is high and reference genomes are few. In addition, we discuss crucial issues and considerations associated with applying complementary high-throughput molecular technologies to address important ecological questions.

The core-shell structured Cu2O@GO composite delivered a reversible capacity of 458 mA h g(-1) at a current density of 100 mA g(-1) after 50 cycles. Even at a high charge-discharge rate of 1000 mA g(-1), Cu2O@GO still demonstrated a reversible capacity of 240 mA h g(-1) after 200 cycles, significantly higher than those of the bare Cu2O microspheres (37 mA h g(-1)) and GO nano-sheets (11 mA h g(-1)). The rate capability evaluated by the ratio of capacity at 100 mA g(-1)/1000 mA g(-1) current density was 49%, 25% and 9.8% for Cu2O@GO, bare Cu2O and GO, respectively. The greatly enhanced performance for GO nano-sheets wrapped Cu2O microspheres composite mainly resulted from the synergistic effect of Cu2O microspheres and GO nano-sheets core-shell composite: the flexible in-situ electrochemically reduced GO nano-sheet coating layer functioning as an efficient three dimensional (3D) conductive network and lithium storage active material; the Cu2O microsphere core functioning as a skeleton to support multilayer GO sheets and avoid GO nano-sheets aggregation.

Herein, a 3D carbon nano-network is fabricated through chemical vapor deposition of carbon on a scalably manufactured 3D porous anodic alumina (PAA) template. As a demonstration on the applicability of 3D carbon nano-network for LIB electrodes, the low conductivity active material, TiO2, is then uniformly coated on the 3D carbon nano-network using atomic layer deposition. High power performance is demonstrated in the 3D C/TiO2 electrodes, where the parallel tubes and gaps in the 3D carbon nano-network facilitates fast Li ion transport. A large areal capacity of similar to 0.37 mAh cm(-2) is achieved due to the large TiO2 mass loading in the 60 pm-thick 3D C/TiO2 electrodes. At a test rate of C/5, the 3D C/TiO2 electrode with 18 nm-thick TiO2 delivers a high gravimetric capacity of similar to 240 mAh g(-1), calculated with the mass of the whole electrode. A long cycle life of over 1000 cycles with a capacity retention of 91% is demonstrated at 1C. The effects of the electrical conductivity of carbon nano-network, ion diffusion, and the electrolyte permeability on the rate performance of these 3D C/TiO2 electrodes are systematically studied.

Herein, we report using simple metallothermic reactions to reduce atmospheric CO2 to dense nanoporous graphene. By using a Zn/Mg mixture as a reductant, the resulted nanoporous graphene exhibits highly desirable properties: high specific surface area of 1900 m(2)/g, a great conductivity of 1050 S/m and a tap density of 0.63 g/cm(3), comparable to activated carbon. The nanoporous graphene contains a fine mesoporous structure constructed by curved few-layer graphene nanosheets. The unique property ensemble enables one of the best high-rate performances reported for electrochemical capacitors: a specific capacitance of similar to 170 F/g obtained at 2000 mV/s and 40 F/g at a frequency of 120 Hz. This simple fabricating strategy conceptually provides opportunities for materials scientists to design and prepare novel carbon materials with metallothermic reactions. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

These materials combine the respective advantages of discrete nanoparticles and mesoporous structures. In this article, we demonstrate a facile nanoparticle templating process to synthesize a three-dimensional mesoporous BiFeO3 material. This approach involves the polymer-assisted aggregating assembly of 3-aminopropanoic acid-stabilized bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3) nanocrystals followed by thermal decomposition of the surfactant. The resulting material consists of a network of tightly connected BiFeO3 nanoparticles (similar to 6-7 nm in diameter) and has a moderately high surface area (62 m(2) g(-1)) and uniform pores (ca. 6.3 nm). As a result of the unique mesostructure, the porous assemblies of BiFeO3 nanoparticles show an excellent catalytic activity and chemical stability for the reduction of p-nitrophenol to p-aminophenol with NaBH4.

The extreme sensitivity of surface redox states to temperatures, to gas pressures and to electrochemical reaction conditions renders them difficult to investigate by conventional surface-science techniques. Here we report the direct observation of surface redox processes by surface-sensitive, operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy using thin-film iron and cobalt perovskite oxides as model electrodes for elevated-temperature oxygen incorporation and evolution reactions. In contrast to the conventional view that the transition metal cations are the dominant redox-active centres, we find that the oxygen anions near the surface are a significant redox partner to molecular oxygen due to the strong hybridization between oxygen 2p and transition metal 3d electronic states. We propose that a narrow electronic state of significant oxygen 2p character near the Fermi level exchanges electrons with the oxygen adsorbates. This result highlights the importance of surface anion-redox chemistry in oxygen-deficient transition-metal oxides.

TI Evaluation of Behavior and Survival of Fish Exposed to an Axial-Flow Hydrokinetic Turbine SO NORTH AMERICAN JOURNAL OF FISHERIES MANAGEMENT LA English DT Article ID ATLANTIC SALMON; AMERICAN SHAD; SMOLTS; WATER; MARK AB Previous studies have evaluated fish injury and mortality at hydrokinetic (HK) turbines, but because these studies focused on the impacts of these turbines in situ they were unable to evaluate fish responses to controlled environmental characteristics (e.g., current velocity and light or dark conditions). In this study, we used juvenile hybrid Striped Bass (HSB; Striped Bass Morone saxatilis x White Bass M. chrysops; N = 620), Rainbow Trout Oncorhynchus mykiss (N = 3,719), and White Sturgeon Acipenser transmontanus (N = 294) in a series of laboratory experiments to (1) evaluate the ability of fish to avoid entrainment through an axial-flow HK turbine, (2) evaluate fish injury and survival associated with turbine entrainment, and (3) compare the effects of different HK turbines on fish. We found that the probability of turbine entrainment was species dependent and highest for HSB. Across species, current velocity influenced entrainment probability. Among entrained fish, observed survival rates were generally >0.95. The probability of injury for surviving entrained fish only differed from that for nonentrained fish for Rainbow Trout and in general was not >0.20. The probability of injury following entrainment was greater only for HSB, although there were no differences in injury rates between fish that were turbine entrained and those that were not, suggesting that injuries were not turbine related. Taking turbine entrainment, survival, and injury estimates together allowed us to estimate the probability of a randomly selected fish in a population proximate to an HK turbine surviving passage or remaining uninjured after passage. For species and current velocities for which there was a significant effect due to entrainment, we estimated, for instance, that HSB had a survival probability of 0.95 and that Rainbow Trout and White Sturgeon had a >0.99 probability of survival. Similarly, by combining these estimates with those from previous studies, we derived total passage survival probabilities >0.90 but generally approaching 1.00 across different HK turbine types, fish species, and fish lengths.

Holland, Heidrun TI WHO grade related expression of TRAIL-receptors and apoptosis regulators in meningioma SO PATHOLOGY RESEARCH AND PRACTICE LA English DT Article DE Meningioma; Immunohistochemistry; TRAIL-receptor; Apoptosis regulators ID HEPATOCELLULAR-CARCINOMA; ANTICANCER THERAPY; DEATH RECEPTORS; LIGAND TRAIL; CANCER-CELLS; RESISTANCE; CASPASE-8; SURVIVAL; CFLIP; BCL-2 AB Background and aims: The expression of the tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) receptors and key regulators of the extrinsic apoptosis pathway correlate with clinical features and the WHO grade of malignancy in some tumor entities. Expression of pro-apoptotic TRAIL receptors and executioners of apoptosis are a prerequisite for TRAIL-based therapies as a promising future targeted therapy. Methods: Human meningioma tissues (n = 24 WHO grade I, n = 7 WHO grade II, n = 6 WHO grade III) were immunohistochemically analyzed for the expression of TRAIL-R1, TRAIL-R2, TRAIL-R3, TRAIL-R4, caspase-8, cFLIP, Bc1-2, Bcl-XL, Mcl-1, Bax, and Bak. Staining intensities were quantified by an automated software-based algorithm. Results: While TRAIL-R1 and TRAIL-R3 were nearly absent in meningiomas, TRAIL-R2 and TRAIL-R4 were abundantly expressed. However, only TRAIL-R4 expression correlated with the WHO grade of malignancy. Bc1-2 showed a non-significant upregulation in WHO grade III meningiomas. Bcl-XL and Mc1-1 expression was significantly higher in WHO grade II compared to grade I. Bcl-XL and TRAIL-R4 expression correlated with the mitotic activity (Ki67) of the tumor. Furthermore, TRAIL-R2 expression correlated with TRAIL-R4. Bak expression correlated with both, Bcl-XL and Mc1-1 expression. The expression patterns did neither correlate with the progression-free nor with the overall survival of the meningioma patients. Conclusions: Apoptosis-inducing TRAIL-R2 and all key executioners of the extrinsic apoptosis pathway are abundantly expressed in meningioma. For some regulators of apoptosis with opposite functions, the expression of the pro-apoptotic protein significantly correlated with the expression level of the respective anti-apoptotic binding partner, possibly resulting in a steady-state of apoptosis. TRAIL-R2 might serve as a novel therapeutic target in meningioma. (C) 2014 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.

Decoupling of these properties has been demonstrated in molecular junctions by capitalizing on the unique electronic transport at organic-inorganic interfaces. In this work, the thermoelectric properties of gold nanocrystal arrays with varying thiol-terminated ligands are compared to molecular junction experiments. The experimental results and supporting theory demonstrate that gold nanocrystal arrays are a valuable model system for mapping the applicability of molecular junction design rules to the design of macroscale organic-inorganic hybrid thermoelectric materials.

Surface species of Pd(hfac)* and Ti(hfac)* uniformly adsorbed on TiO2(110) upon exposure of Pd(hfac)(2). No preferential nucleation was observed for the surface species. Atomic resolution STM images revealed that both Pd(hfac)* and Ti(hfac)* appeared on the metastable Ti(5c) sites. After annealing at 700 K, sub-nm Pd nanoparticles were observed across the TiO2(110) without preferential nucleation. The adsorption preferences of Pd(hfac), hfac, and atomic Pd on TiO2(110) surface were studied using density functional theory (DFT), and possible decomposition pathways of Pd(hfac) 2 leading to the formation of Pd nucleation sites were presented.

We have employed two mesoporous and two microporous carbons for the sustained release of one water-soluble drug (antipyrine) and one water-insoluble drug (indomethacin), using these as models to examine the controlled release characteristics. The micro-/mesoporous carbons were characterized as having a BET surface area of 372-2251 m(2) g(-1) and pore volume 0.63-1.03 cm(3) g(-1). The toxicity studies with E. coli bacterial cells did not reveal significant toxicity, which is in accordance with our previous studies on human cells with similar materials. Mucin adsorption tests with type III pork mucin demonstrated 20-30% mucin adsorption by the carbon samples and higher mucin adsorption could be attributed to higher surface area and more oxygen functionalities. Antipyrine and indomethacin loading was 6-78% in these micro-/mesoporous carbons. The signatures in thermogravimetric studies revealed the presence of drug molecules within the porous moieties of the carbon. The partial shifting of the decomposition peak of the drug adsorbed within the carbon pores was caused by the confinement of drug molecules within the narrow pore space of the carbon. The release profiles of both drugs were examined in simulated gastric fluid (pH = 1.2) and in three other release media with respective pH values of 4.5, 6.8 and 7.4, along with varying residence times to simulate the physiological conditions of the stomach, duodenum, small intestine and colon, respectively. All the release profiles manifested diffusion controlled sustained release that corroborates the effective role of micro-/mesoporous carbons as potential drug carriers.

Then, the asphaltene molecules were successfully functionalized by 3-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane as confirmed by thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Finally, asphaltene/epoxy composites at four different loading levels were prepared and their thermo-mechanical properties were examined. The thermal analysis results indicated that asphaltene as a novel reinforcing filler in epoxy resin caused a significant increase in storage modulus of both glassy and rubbery regions, slightly increased the glass transition temperature without negatively affecting thermal stability, and reduced the overall cost of the material.

TI CHALLENGES OF ACCELERATED AGING TECHNIQUES FOR ELASTOMER LIFETIME PREDICTIONS SO RUBBER CHEMISTRY AND TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article ID DIFFUSION-LIMITED OXIDATION; NON-ARRHENIUS BEHAVIOR; LOW-DOSE RATE; THERMAL-OXIDATION; THEORETICAL-MODEL; TIME DEVELOPMENT; DEGRADATION; POLYETHYLENE; TEMPERATURES; PROFILES AB Elastomers are often degraded when exposed to air or high humidity for extended times (years to decades). Lifetime estimates normally involve extrapolating accelerated aging results made at higher than ambient environments. Several potential problems associated with such studies are reviewed, and experimental and theoretical methods to address them are provided. The importance of verifying time temperature superposition of degradation data is emphasized as evidence that the overall nature of the degradation process remains unchanged versus acceleration temperature. The confounding effects that occur when diffusion-limited oxidation (DLO) contributes under accelerated conditions are described, and it is shown that the DLO magnitude can be modeled by measurements or estimates of the oxygen permeability coefficient (P-Ox) and oxygen consumption rate (4)). P-Ox and phi measurements can be influenced by DLO, and it is demonstrated how confident values can be derived. In addition, several experimental profiling techniques that screen for DLO effects are discussed. Values of phi taken from high temperature to temperatures approaching ambient can be used to more confidently extrapolate accelerated aging results for air-aged materials, and many studies now show that Arrhenius extrapolations bend to lower activation energies as aging temperatures are lowered. Best approaches for accelerated aging extrapolations of humidity-exposed materials are also offered. C1 [Gillen, K. T.; Bernstein, R.; Celina, M.] Sandia Natl Labs, Albuquerque, NM 87185 USA.

Elucidating their multi-faceted properties and underlying mechanisms is not only theoretically challenging and important in its own right, but also serves as the foundation for new materials and applications that will have wide-ranging impact on technology and the national economy. Recent initiatives in computation and data-driven materials discovery, such as the Materials Genome Initiative and the National Science Foundation Designing Materials to Revolutionize and Engineer our Future (NSF-DMREF) program, recognize and highlight the many future opportunities in the field. Building upon similar past efforts, a workshop was held at the University of California, Santa Barbara in October 2013 to specifically identify the central challenges and opportunities in theoretical and computational studies of polymeric as well as non-polymeric soft materials.

These thin films show superconducting transition temperature T-c similar to 19 K, 4 K higher than the bulk sample. Typical roof-top patterns can be observed in the MO images of thin films grown on LAO and YSZ, from which a large and homogeneous critical current density J(c) over 1 x 10(6) A cm(-2) at 5 K was obtained. Magnetic flux penetration measurement reveals that the current is almost isotropically distributed in the two thin films. Compared with bulk crystals, FeTe0.5Se0.5 thin film demonstrates not only higher T-c, but also much larger J(c), which is attractive for applications.

In particular it is discussed how the use of IXS has improved our understanding of viscoelastic properties of water at THz frequencies. This specifically involves some solid-like features such as the onset of shear wave propagation, a sound velocity surprisingly similar to the one of ice, and an anomalously low sound absorption coefficient. All these properties can be explained by assuming the coupling of THz density fluctuations with a structural relaxation process connected to the breaking and forming of hydrogen bonds (HBs). This review also includes more recent IXS results demonstrating that, upon approaching supercritical conditions, relaxation phenomena in water gradually lose their structural character becoming essentially collisional in character. Furthermore, GHz spectroscopy results on supercooled water, suggesting the occurrence of a structural arrest, are discussed. An overview of the new opportunities offered by next generation IXS spectrometers finally concludes this review. C1 Brookhaven Natl Lab, Photon Sci Directorate, Upton, NY 11973 USA.

This heavy-fermion mass is reflected in a substantially enhanced electronic coefficient of specific heat gamma, which for elemental Pu is much larger than that of normal metals. By our definition, there are twelve Pu-based heavy-fermion compounds, most discovered recently, whose basic properties are known and discussed. Relative to other examples, these Pu-based heavy-fermion systems are particularly complex owing in part to the possible simultaneous presence of multiple, nearly degenerate 5f(n) configurations. This complexity poses significant opportunities as well as challenges, including understanding the origin of unconventional superconductivity in some of these materials. C1 [Bauer, E.

TI Ensemble simulations of the role of the stratosphere in the attribution of northern extratropical tropospheric ozone variability SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID ATMOSPHERIC RESEARCH STATION; NINO SOUTHERN-OSCILLATION; LONG-TERM CHANGES; MACE-HEAD; SURFACE OZONE; INTERANNUAL VARIABILITY; SEASONAL VARIABILITY; MOZAIC PROGRAM; AIR-POLLUTION; CLIMATE AB Despite the need to understand the impact of changes in emissions and climate on tropospheric ozone, the attribution of tropospheric interannual ozone variability to specific processes has proven difficult. Here, we analyze the stratospheric contribution to tropospheric ozone variability and trends from 1953 to 2005 in the Northern Hemisphere (NH) mid-latitudes using four ensemble simulations of the free running (FR) Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model (WACCM). The simulations are externally forced with observed time-varying (1) sea-surface temperatures (SSTs), (2) greenhouse gases (GHGs), (3) ozone depleting substances (ODS), (4) quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO), (5) solar variability (SV) and (6) stratospheric sulfate surface area density (SAD). A detailed representation of stratospheric chemistry is simulated, including the ozone loss due to volcanic eruptions and polar stratospheric clouds. In the troposphere, ozone production is represented by CH4-NOx smog chemistry, where surface chemical emissions remain interannually constant. Despite the simplicity of its tropospheric chemistry, at many NH measurement locations, the interannual ozone variability in the FR WACCM simulations is significantly correlated with the measured interannual variability. This suggests the importance of the external forcing applied in these simulations in driving interannual ozone variability. The variability and trend in the simulated 1953-2005 tropospheric ozone from 30 to 90 degrees N at background surface measurement sites, 500 hPa measurement sites and in the area average are largely explained on interannual timescales by changes in the 30-90 degrees N area averaged flux of ozone across the 100 hPa surface and changes in tropospheric methane concentrations. The average sensitivity of tropospheric ozone to methane (percent change in ozone to a percent change in methane) from 30 to 90 degrees N is 0.17 at 500 hPa and 0.21 at the surface; the average sensitivity of tropospheric ozone to the 100 hPa ozone flux (percent change in ozone to a percent change in the ozone flux) from 30 to 90 degrees N is 0.19 at 500 hPa and 0.11 at the surface. The 30-90 degrees N simulated downward residual velocity at 100 hPa increased by 15% between 1953 and 2005. However, the impact of this on the 30-90 degrees N 100 hPa ozone flux is modulated by the long-term changes in stratospheric ozone. The ozone flux decreases from 1965 to 1990 due to stratospheric ozone depletion, but increases again by approximately 7% from 1990 to 2005. The first empirical orthogonal function of interannual ozone variability explains from 40% (at the surface) to over 80% (at 150 hPa) of the simulated ozone interannual variability from 30 to 90 degrees N. This identified mode of ozone variability shows strong stratosphere-troposphere coupling, demonstrating the importance of the stratosphere in an attribution of tropospheric ozone variability. The simulations, with no change in emissions, capture almost 50% of the measured ozone change during the 1990s at a variety of locations. This suggests that a large portion of the measured change is not due to changes in emissions, but can be traced to changes in large-scale modes of ozone variability. This emphasizes the difficulty in the attribution of ozone changes, and the importance of natural variability in understanding the trends and variability of ozone. We find little relation between the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) index and large-scale tropospheric ozone variability over the long-term record.

TI A comprehensive laboratory study on the immersion freezing behavior of illite NX particles: a comparison of 17 ice nucleation measurement techniques SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID MINERAL DUST AEROSOL; FLOW DIFFUSION CHAMBER; KAOLINITE PARTICLES; DEPOSITION NUCLEATION; CRYSTAL NUCLEATION; HEMATITE PARTICLES; WATER DROPLETS; WIND-TUNNEL; NUCLEI; MODE AB Immersion freezing is the most relevant heterogeneous ice nucleation mechanism through which ice crystals are formed in mixed-phase clouds. In recent years, an increasing number of laboratory experiments utilizing a variety of instruments have examined immersion freezing activity of atmospherically relevant ice-nucleating particles. However, an intercomparison of these laboratory results is a difficult task because investigators have used different ice nucleation (IN) measurement methods to produce these results. A remaining challenge is to explore the sensitivity and accuracy of these techniques and to understand how the IN results are potentially influenced or biased by experimental parameters associated with these techniques. Within the framework of INUIT (Ice Nuclei Research Unit), we distributed an illite-rich sample (illite NX) as a representative surrogate for atmospheric mineral dust particles to investigators to perform immersion freezing experiments using different IN measurement methods and to obtain IN data as a function of particle concentration, temperature (T), cooling rate and nucleation time. A total of 17 measurement methods were involved in the data intercomparison. Experiments with seven instruments started with the test sample pre-suspended in water before cooling, while 10 other instruments employed water vapor condensation onto dry-dispersed particles followed by immersion freezing. The resulting comprehensive immersion freezing data set was evaluated using the ice nucleation active surface-site density, n(s), to develop a representative n(s)(T) spectrum that spans a wide temperature range (-37 degrees C < T < -11 degrees C) and covers 9 orders of magnitude in n(s). In general, the 17 immersion freezing measurement techniques deviate, within a range of about 8 degrees C in terms of temperature, by 3 orders of magnitude with respect to n(s). In addition, we show evidence that the immersion freezing efficiency expressed in n(s) of illite NX particles is relatively independent of droplet size, particle mass in suspension, particle size and cooling rate during freezing. A strong temperature dependence and weak time and size dependence of the immersion freezing efficiency of illite-rich clay mineral particles enabled the n(s) parameterization solely as a function of temperature. We also characterized the n(s)(T) spectra and identified a section with a steep slope between -20 and -27 degrees C, where a large fraction of active sites of our test dust may trigger immersion freezing. This slope was followed by a region with a gentler slope at temperatures below -27 degrees C. While the agreement between different instruments was reasonable below similar to -27 degrees C, there seemed to be a different trend in the temperature-dependent ice nucleation activity from the suspension and dry-dispersed particle measurements for this mineral dust, in particular at higher temperatures. For instance, the ice nucleation activity expressed in n(s) was smaller for the average of the wet suspended samples and higher for the average of the dry-dispersed aerosol samples between about -27 and -18 degrees C. Only instruments making measurements with wet suspended samples were able to measure ice nucleation above -18 degrees C. A possible explanation for the deviation between -27 and -18 degrees C is discussed. Multiple exponential distribution fits in both linear and log space for both specific surface area-based n(s)(T) and geometric surface area-based n(s)(T) are provided. These new fits, constrained by using identical reference samples, will help to compare IN measurement methods that are not included in the present study and IN data from future IN instruments.

TI A cloud detection algorithm using the downwelling infrared radiance measured by an infrared pyrometer of the ground-based microwave radiometer SO ATMOSPHERIC MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES LA English DT Article ID SOUTHERN GREAT-PLAINS; LIQUID WATER PATH; RADIATION; VAPOR; TEMPERATURE; SKIES; CLEAR; SKY; RETRIEVAL; EQUATIONS AB For better utilization of the ground-based microwave radiometer, it is important to detect the cloud presence in the measured data. Here, we introduce a simple and fast cloud detection algorithm by using the optical characteristics of the clouds in the infrared atmospheric window region. The new algorithm utilizes the brightness temperature (Tb) measured by an infrared radiometer installed on top of a microwave radiometer. The two-step algorithm consists of a spectral test followed by a temporal test. The measured Tb is first compared with a predicted clear-sky Tb obtained by an empirical formula as a function of surface air temperature and water vapor pressure. For the temporal test, the temporal variability of the measured Tb during one minute compares with a dynamic threshold value, representing the variability of clear-sky conditions. It is designated as cloudfree data only when both the spectral and temporal tests confirm cloud-free data. Overall, most of the thick and uniform clouds are successfully detected by the spectral test, while the broken and fast-varying clouds are detected by the temporal test. The algorithm is validated by comparison with the collocated ceilometer data for six months, from January to June 2013. The overall proportion of correctness is about 88.3% and the probability of detection is 90.8 %, which are comparable with or better than those of previous similar approaches. Two thirds of discrepancies occur when the new algorithm detects clouds while the ceilometer does not, resulting in different values of the probability of detection with different cloud-base altitude, 93.8, 90.3, and 82.8% for low, mid, and high clouds, respectively. Finally, due to the characteristics of the spectral range, the new algorithm is found to be insensitive to the presence of inversion layers. C1 [Ahn, M. -H.; Han, D.; Won, H.

TI Quantifying error of lidar and sodar Doppler beam swinging measurements of wind turbine wakes using computational fluid dynamics SO ATMOSPHERIC MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES LA English DT Article ID COMPLEX TERRAIN; TURBULENCE; FLOW AB Wind-profiling lidars are now regularly used in boundary-layer meteorology and in applications such as wind energy and air quality. Lidar wind profilers exploit the Doppler shift of laser light backscattered from particulates carried by the wind to measure a line-of-sight (LOS) velocity. The Doppler beam swinging (DBS) technique, used by many commercial systems, considers measurements of this LOS velocity in multiple radial directions in order to estimate horizontal and vertical winds. The method relies on the assumption of homogeneous flow across the region sampled by the beams. Using such a system in inhomogeneous flow, such as wind turbine wakes or complex terrain, will result in errors. To quantify the errors expected from such violation of the assumption of horizontal homogeneity, we simulate inhomogeneous flow in the atmospheric boundary layer, notably stably stratified flow past a wind turbine, with a mean wind speed of 6.5 m s(-1) at the turbine hub-height of 80 m. This slightly stable case results in 15 degrees of wind direction change across the turbine rotor disk. The resulting flow field is sampled in the same fashion that a lidar samples the atmosphere with the DBS approach, including the lidar range weighting function, enabling quantification of the error in the DBS observations. The observations from the instruments located upwind have small errors, which are ameliorated with time averaging. However, the downwind observations, particularly within the first two rotor diameters downwind from the wind turbine, suffer from errors due to the heterogeneity of the wind turbine wake. Errors in the stream-wise component of the flow approach 30% of the hub-height inflow wind speed close to the rotor disk. Errors in the cross-stream and vertical velocity components are also significant: cross-stream component errors are on the order of 15% of the hub-height inflow wind speed (1.0 m s(-1) /and errors in the vertical velocity measurement exceed the actual vertical velocity. By three rotor diameters downwind, DBS-based assessments of wake wind speed deficits based on the stream-wise velocity can be relied on even within the near wake within 1.0 m s(-1) (or 15% of the hub-height inflow wind speed), and the cross-stream velocity error is reduced to 8% while vertical velocity estimates are compromised. Measurements of inhomogeneous flow such as wind turbine wakes are susceptible to these errors, and interpretations of field observations should account for this uncertainty. C1 [Lundquist, J.

For example, weak bonds to CO2 would greatly decrease the cost of the energy-intensive sorbent-regeneration step common to most carbon capture technologies. Furthermore, exploration of this field could lead to the discovery of novel CO2 chemistry. Reduction of complexed carbon dioxide might generate chemical feedstocks for the preparation of value-added products, particularly transportation fuels or fuel precursors. Implementation on a large scale could help to drastically reduce CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere. However, literature examples of weakly bonded complexes of CO2 are relatively few and true coordination complexes to a 'naked' CO2 fragment are nearly unheard of. In this review article, a variety of complexes of CO2 featuring diverse binding modes and reactivity will be examined. Topics covered include: (A) inclusion complexes of CO2 in porous materials. (B) Zwitterionic carbamates produced from the reaction of CO2 with polyamines. (C) Carbamate salts produced from reaction of CO2 with two equivalents of an amine. (D) Insertion products of CO2 into acid-base adducts (e.g., metal complexes). (E) Lewis acid-base activated CO2, such as frustrated Lewis pair complexes. (F) Simple base-CO2 adducts, wherein the base-CO2 bond is the only interaction formed. Complexes in the last category are of particular interest, and include imidazol-2-carboxylates (N-heterocyclic carbene adducts of CO2) as well as a few other examples that lie outside NHC chemistry.

Semiconductor nanocrystals are active emitters of photons when stimulated optically, while the interaction of light with nanosized metal objects results in scattering and ohmic damping due to absorption. In a combined structure, the properties of both components can be realized together. At the same time, metal-semiconductor coupling may intervene to modify absorption and/or emission processes taking place in the semiconductor, resulting in a range of effects from photoluminescence quenching to enhancement. We show here that photostable 'giant' quantum dots when placed at the center of an ultrathin gold shell retain their key optical property of bright and blinking-free photoluminescence, while the metal shell imparts efficient photothermal transduction. The latter is despite the highly compact total particle size (40-60 nm "inorganic" diameter and <100 nm hydrodynamic diameter) and the very thin nature of the optically transparent Au shell. Importantly, the sensitivity of the quantum dot emission to local temperature provides a novel internal thermometer for recording temperature during infrared irradiation-induced photothermal heating.

Using a MOF-based catalyst (UiO-66), we have previously demonstrated that the hydrolysis can occur with relatively fast half-lives of 50 minutes. However, these rates are still prohibitively slow to be efficiently utilized for some practical applications (e.g., decontamination wipes used to clean exposed clothing/skin/vehicles). We thus turned our attention to derivatives of UiO-66 in order to probe the importance of functional groups on the hydrolysis rate. Three UiO-66 derivatives were explored; UiO-66-NO2 and UiO-66-(OH)(2) showed little to no change in hydrolysis rate. However, UiO-66-NH2 showed a 20 fold increase in hydrolysis rate over the parent UiO-66 MOF. Half-lives of 1 minute were observed with this MOF. In order to probe the role of the amino moiety, we turned our attention to UiO-67, UiO-67-NMe2 and UiO-67-NH2. In these MOFs, the amino moiety is in close proximity to the zirconium node. We observed that UiO-67-NH2 is a faster catalyst than UiO-67 and UiO-67-NMe2. We conclude that the role of the amino moiety is to act as a proton-transfer agent during the catalytic cycle and not to hydrogen bond or to form a phosphorane intermediate.

A protein is first tagged with a handle using any of a variety of modification chemistries. This handle is used to isolate proteins with a particular number of modifications via affinity chromatography, and then the handle is elaborated with a desired moiety using an oxidative coupling reaction. This method results in a sample of protein with a well-defined number of modifications, and we find it particularly applicable to systems like protein homomultimers in which there is no way to discern between chemically identical subunits. We demonstrate the use of this method in the construction of a protein-templated light-harvesting mimic, a type of system which has historically been difficult to make in a well-defined manner.

We present full-depth temperature profiles from two drill sites on a flow line passing through Swiss Camp, West Greenland. Numerical modeling reveals that ice temperatures are considerably higher than would be expected from heat diffusion and dissipation alone. The possible causes for this extra heat are evaluated using a Lagrangian heat flow model. The model results reveal that the observations can be explained with a combination of different processes: enhanced dissipation (strain heating) in ice-age ice, temperate paleo-firn, and cryo-hydrologic warming in deep crevasses.

TI Investigation of the role of lignin in biphasic xylan hydrolysis during dilute acid and organosolv pretreatment of corn stover SO GREEN CHEMISTRY LA English DT Article ID MAIZE CELL-WALLS; ENZYMATIC-HYDROLYSIS; HEMICELLULOSE HYDROLYSIS; LIGNOCELLULOSIC BIOMASS; REACTION-KINETICS; SUGAR MAPLE; WOOD; AUTOHYDROLYSIS; CELLULOSE; ETHANOL AB One of the key objectives of biomass pretreatment is to maximize the xylose yield. However, the kinetics of xylan hydrolysis appear to be governed by two parallel first-order reactions with one reaction much faster than the other, thereby limiting both the rate and extent of xylan hydrolysis. Here, we investigate the influence of lignin on xylan hydrolysis kinetics during dilute acid pretreatment of corn stover rind (CSR) by modifying either the substrate or the pretreatment conditions. Dilute acid pretreatment was conducted to test the hypothesis that association of a fraction of the xylan with lignin causes this fraction to hydrolyze at a slower rate resulting in biphasic kinetics. In addition, CSR was pretreated under organosolv (OS) conditions, where xylan and lignin were solubilized simultaneously, to decouple the hydrolysis of xylan from the lignin redistribution process that occurs during dilute acid pretreatment. Dilute acid pretreatment of CSR delignified under mild conditions still exhibited biphasic kinetics, although the fraction of slow hydrolyzing xylan decreased and the rate of fast hydrolyzing xylan increased by 60% resulting in achieving more than 95% total xylose yield. Pretreatment of CSR under OS conditions also appeared to exhibit biphasic xylan hydrolysis kinetics. Unexpectedly, the solubilization of xylan and lignin appeared to occur at similar rates. The increases in the rate and fraction of fast hydrolyzing xylan observed by removing the majority of the lignin support the hypothesis that the slow hydrolyzing xylan is a result of its association with lignin. To further investigate the role of lignin in xylan hydrolysis, the raw and pretreated CSR samples were labeled with a monoclonal antibody (containing a fluorescent dye) that binds xylan specifically so that the location of xylan in the cell wall could be imaged by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLM). CLM of the pretreated delignified samples showed a similar, intense signal pattern as exhibited by the raw and pretreated control, indicating that the majority of the remaining xylan was located at both cytosolic and middle lamellar cell wall edges. OS pretreated CSR did, however, show a diminution in signal intensity at cell wall edges compared to CSR pretreated under standard dilute acid conditions.

TI Design of low-cost ionic liquids for lignocellulosic biomass pretreatment SO GREEN CHEMISTRY LA English DT Article ID PSEUDO-LIGNIN; CORN STOVER; DILUTE-ACID; DECONSTRUCTION; SWITCHGRASS; AFEX(TM) AB The cost of ionic liquids (ILs) is one of the main impediments to IL utilization in the cellulosic biorefinery, especially in the pretreatment step. In this study, a number of ionic liquids were synthesized with the goal of optimizing solvent cost and stability whilst demonstrating promising processing potential. To achieve this, inexpensive feedstocks such as sulfuric acid and simple amines were combined into a range of protic ionic liquids containing the hydrogen sulfate [HSO4](-) anion. The performance of these ionic liquids was compared to a benchmark system containing the IL 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate [C(2)C(1)im][OAc]. The highest saccharification yields were observed for the triethylammonium hydrogen sulfate IL, which was 75% as effective as the benchmark system. Techno-economic modeling revealed that this promising and yet to be optimized yield was achieved at a fraction of the processing cost. This study demonstrates that some ILs can compete with the cheapest pretreatment chemicals, such as ammonia, in terms of effectiveness and process cost, removing IL cost as a barrier to the economic viability of IL-based biorefineries.

Current methods to measure HIV-1-specific binding antibodies following immunization typically focus on determining the magnitude of antibody responses, but the epitope diversity of antibody responses has remained largely unexplored. Here we describe the development of a global HIV-1 peptide microarray that contains 6564 peptides from across the HIV-1 proteome and covers the majority of HIV-1 sequences in the Los Alamos National Laboratory global HIV-1 sequence database. Using this microarray, we quantified the magnitude, breadth, and depth of IgG binding to linear HIV-1 sequences in HIV-1-infected humans and HIV-1-vaccinated humans, rhesus monkeys and guinea pigs. The microarray measured potentially important differences in antibody epitope diversity, particularly regarding the depth of epitope variants recognized at each binding site. Our data suggest that the global HIV-1 peptide microarray may be a useful tool for both preclinical and clinical HIV-1 research. (C) 2014 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Their application is, however, limited by the voltage decay upon cycling, and the origin of such a phenomenon is poorly understood. A major issue is determining the voltage range over which detrimental reactions originate. In the present study, a unique yet effective approach was employed to probe this issue. Instead of studying the materials during the first cycle, electrochemical behavior and evolution of the atomic structures were compared in extensively cycled specimens under varied charge/discharge voltages. With the upper cutoff voltage lowered from 4.8 to 4.4 V, the voltage decay ceased to occur even after 60 cycles. In the meantime, the material maintained its layered structure without any spinel phase emerging at the surface, which is unambiguously shown by the atomic-resolution Z-contrast imaging and electron energy loss spectroscopy. These results have conclusively demonstrated that structural/chemical changes responsible for the voltage decay began between 4.4 and 4.8 V, where the layered-to-spinel transition was the most dramatic structural change observed. This discovery lays important groundwork for the mechanistic understanding of the voltage decay in Li-rich layered cathode materials. C1 [Wu, Yan] Gen Motors Global R&D Ctr, Warren, MI 48090 USA.

Upon lowering the temperature, the compounds sequentially order ferrimagnetically and antiferromagnetically, and finally, exhibit spin reorientation transitions. Structural distortions from room temperature cubic to low temperature rhombohedral structures occur at T-N, and are accompanied by large volume changes reaching similar to-1.27% and -1.42%, respectively. First principles electronic structure calculations confirm the phase transformation from the ferrimagnetic cubic structure to the antiferromagnetic rhombohedral structure in TbMn2.

All films described in this work have been deposited by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) from stoichiometric target of Co0.9Sn0.1Fe2O4. The lattice structure, crystallinity and orientation of the thin films were determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The magnetization of thin films was measured for both, in-plane and out-of-plane configurations, using a superconductor quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer at 300 K. The measurements reveal that the magnetic anisotropy is altered by the strain imposed from the substrate upon application of an electric field. The magnetoelastic coupling is demonstrated by a change of the remanent magnetisation. However, we find that this strain effect is thickness dependent. The biggest strain effect is recorded for the thickest film (400nm) where an electric-field-controlled contraction of the substrate of 0.1% induces a relative change in magnetic moment of 9.3%. The relative change of the remanent magnetisation is reduced with decreasing film thickness and is smaller than 3% for the thinnest film (25nm). C1 [Rus, S.

Different structural and textural characterizations were applied to the dried, calcined and used gold-iron oxide samples. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high-resolution TEM (HRTEM) showed high homogeneity in the supported Au nanoparticles. The ex situ and in situ X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) characterization monitored the electronic and short-range local structure of active gold species. The synchrotron-based in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD), together with the corresponding temperature-programmed reduction by hydrogen (H2-TPR), indicated a structural evolution of the iron-oxide supports, correlating to their reducibility. An inverse order of catalytic activity between DP (Au/Fe_OH < Au/Fe_O) and CD (Au/Fe_OH > Au/Fe_O) was observed. Effective gold-support interaction results in a high activity for gold nanoparticles, locally generated by the sintering of dispersed Au atoms on the oxide support in the DP synthesis, while a hydroxylated surface favors the reactivity of externally introduced Au nanoparticles on Fe_OH support for the CD approach. This work reveals why differences in the synthetic protocol translate to differences in the catalytic performance of Au/FeOx catalysts with very similar structural characteristics in CO oxidation.

By varying the relative lengths of Cu and Sn segments, we show that the metallurgical reaction results in a Cu-Sn solid solution for small Sn/Cu length ratio while Cu-Sn intermetallic compounds (IMCs) for larger Sn/Cu length ratios. Upon heating the nanowires to similar to 500 degrees C, two phase transformation pathways occur, eta-Cu6Sn5 -> epsilon-Cu3Sn -> delta-Cu41Sn11 for nanowires with a long Cu segment and eta-Cu6Sn5 -> epsilon-Cu3Sn -> gamma-Cu3Sn with a short Cu segment. The evolution of Kirkendall voids in the nanowires demonstrates that Cu diffuses faster than Sn in IMCs. Void growth results in the nanowire breakage that shuts off the inter-diffusion of Cu and Sn and thus leads to changes in the phase transformation pathway in the IMCs.

TI Ultrathin porous hierarchically textured NiCo2O4-graphene oxide flexible nanosheets for high-performance supercapacitors SO NEW JOURNAL OF CHEMISTRY LA English DT Article ID HIGH SPECIFIC CAPACITANCE; NITROGEN-DOPED GRAPHENE; ELECTRODE MATERIALS; ELECTROCHEMICAL CAPACITORS; NANOSTRUCTURED CO3O4; FACILE SYNTHESIS; ENERGY-STORAGE; SOLAR-CELLS; NI FOAM; COMPOSITES AB The ultimate goal of supercapacitor research industries is to develop devices which could be used as flexible, portable, ultrathin and highly-efficient power sources. However, the bulk NiCo2O4 materials prevent the achievement of high energy density as well as immense rate performance due to the limited electroactive surface area. In this work, we proposed a new breakthrough strategy to develop highly porous hierarchical flexible nanosheets of NiCo2O4-graphene oxide (NiCo2O4-GO) on nickel foam by a facile electrochemical deposition method. The morphogenesis of the NiCo2O4-GO hybrid nanostructure-based electrode exhibits hierarchical porous flexible nanosheet-like structures. The electrochemical properties of these electrodes were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge-discharge measurements in 3 M KOH electrolyte. The obtained results exhibit that this new hybrid nanostructure has a specific capacitance of 1078 F g(-1) at a discharge current of 1 mA with great cyclic stability. These excellent capacitive performances of NiCo2O4-GO can be attributed to its hierarchical porous nanosheet-like unique structure. This unique structure provides efficient ion transport that is highly desirable for superior rate capability and excellent cycling stability. Hence, our method provides a promising facile and binder-free nanostructure electrode for next generation high-performance supercapacitor applications.

The solvent extraction experiments with the metal ions showed that the ability of these derivatives to complex with Ag+ appeared to be largely dependent on the position of the nitrogen atoms of the pyridyl ring. Two different complexation modes have been confirmed by H-1 NMR titration. Ionophore 2 armed with two pyridyl moieties, complexed with Ag+ cation through N center dot center dot center dot Ag+center dot center dot center dot S interactions; however, ionophore 3 and ionophore 4 complexed with Ag+ through metal-nitrogen (N center dot center dot center dot Ag+) interactions. The DFT computational studies were consistent with the experimental findings. These findings will provide us with an important rule to design an appropriate thiacalix[4] arene ionophore in the future. Another study on the possibility for application of ionophores 2-4 for the treatment of waste water containing Cr(VI) and Cr(III), showed that ionophore 3 was useful in the application of the solvent extraction method in selective treatment of waste water containing Cr(VI) and Cr(III) prior to discharge.

By engineering the layer widths and alloy compositions a 16 K band-gap of similar to 235 +/- 10meV was achieved for four doped and five undoped T2SLs. Carrier lifetimes were determined by fitting lifetime models of Shockley-Read-Hall (SRH), radiative, and Auger recombination processes simultaneously to the temperature and excess carrier density dependent data. The contribution of each recombination process at a given temperature is identified and the total lifetime is determined over a range of excess carrier densities. The minority carrier and Auger lifetimes were observed to increase with increasing antimony content and decreasing layer thickness for the undoped T2SLs. It is hypothesized that a reduction in SRH recombination centers or a shift in the SRH defect energy relative to the T2SL band edges is the cause of this increase in the SRH minority carrier lifetime. The lower Auger coefficients are attributed to a reduced number of final Auger states in the SL samples with greater antimony content. An Auger limited minority carrier lifetime is observed for the doped T2SLs, and it is found to be a factor of ten shorter than for undoped T2SLs. The Auger rates for all the InAs/InAsSb T2SLs were significantly larger than those previously reported for InAs/GaSb T2SLs. C1 [Aytac, Y.; Flatte, M. E.; Boggess, T.

One route to this objective involves hybrid structures that incorporate a phase-changing material into the structure, creating a nanocomposite material in which the optical response of a plasmonic or photonic structure is modulated by a change in phase, crystallinity or dielectric function induced by thermal, optical or electrical stimulus. Vanadium dioxide (VO2) has been considered as a potential electro-optic switching material for electronic and photonic applications ever since its semiconductor-to-metal transition (SMT) was first described half a century ago. This review describes the application of vanadium dioxide as the switching element in (i) a hybrid silicon ring resonator and (ii) a polarization-sensitive, multifunctional plasmonic modulator in the form of a nanoscale heterodimer. As is now widely known, the SMT in VO2 is also accompanied by a structural phase transition (SPT) from the M1 (monoclinic) to a rutile (tetragonal, R) crystalline form that was believed to prevent a fast recovery after switching. However, recent research has shown that this picture is oversimplified, and that there is a monoclinic metallic state that enables true ultrafast switching. That understanding, in turn, is leading to new concepts in developing hybrid nanocomposites that incorporate VO2 in silicon photonics and plasmonic modulators, enabling the construction of ultrafast optical switches, modulators and memory elements.

This resonance produces a similar effect as split ring resonators, making it possible to use dielectric spheres as metamaterial components. In the terahertz (THz) part of the spectrum, where dielectrics with epsilon similar to 100 can be found, all-dielectric metamaterials can potentially reduce absorption and provide isotropic and polarization-independent properties. In this contribution, we discuss TiO2 micro-spheres, similar to 1/10 of the wavelength in diameter. Such spheres are expected to support the magnetic and electric dipole resonances. To detect these resonances in a single TiO2 microsphere we use THz near-field microscopy with the sub-wavelength size aperture probe. This method allows detection of Mie resonances in single sub-wavelength spheres. Fano-type line-shape is observed in the near-field amplitude and phase spectra. The narrow line-width of the magnetic resonance and the sub-wavelength size of the TiO2 microspheres make them excellent candidates for realizing low-loss THz metamaterials.

The sensor uses an external cavity quantum cascade laser (ECQCL) swept over its tuning range of 940-1075 cm-1 (9.30-10.7 mu m) at a 10 Hz repetition rate. The sensor was designed for operation in multiple modes, including gas sensing within a multi-pass Heriott cell and intracavity absorption sensing using the ECQCL compliance voltage. In addition, the ECQCL compliance voltage was used to reduce effects of long-term drifts in the ECQCL output power. The sensor was characterized for noise, drift, and detection of chemicals including ammonia, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, Freon-134a, Freon-152a, and diisopropyl methylphosphonate (DIMP). We also present use of the sensor for mobile detection of ammonia downwind of cattle facilities, in which concentrations were recorded at 1-s intervals.

TI Parameter uncertainty analysis of a biokinetic model of caesium SO RADIATION PROTECTION DOSIMETRY LA English DT Article ID ICRPS DOSE COEFFICIENTS; INTERNAL DOSIMETRY; TRACT MODEL; RELIABILITY; ZIRCONIUM; PREDICTIONS; EXPOSURE; MEMBERS; HUMANS AB Parameter uncertainties for the biokinetic model of caesium (Cs) developed by Leggett et al. were inventoried and evaluated. The methods of parameter uncertainty analysis were used to assess the uncertainties of model predictions with the assumptions of model parameter uncertainties and distributions. Furthermore, the importance of individual model parameters was assessed by means of sensitivity analysis. The calculated uncertainties of model predictions were compared with human data of Cs measured in blood and in the whole body. It was found that propagating the derived uncertainties in model parameter values reproduced the range of bioassay data observed in human subjects at different times after intake. The maximum ranges, expressed as uncertainty factors (UFs) (defined as a square root of ratio between 97.5th and 2.5th percentiles) of blood clearance, whole-body retention and urinary excretion of Cs predicted at earlier time after intake were, respectively: 1.5, 1.0 and 2.5 at the first day; 1.8, 1.1 and 2.4 at Day 10 and 1.8, 2.0 and 1.8 at Day 100; for the late times (1000 d) after intake, the UFs were increased to 43, 24 and 31, respectively. The model parameters of transfer rates between kidneys and blood, muscle and blood and the rate of transfer from kidneys to urinary bladder content are most influential to the blood clearance and to the whole-body retention of Cs. For the urinary excretion, the parameters of transfer rates from urinary bladder content to urine and from kidneys to urinary bladder content impact mostly. The implication and effect on the estimated equivalent and effective doses of the larger uncertainty of 43 in whole-body retention in the later time, say, after Day 500 will be explored in a successive work in the framework of EURADOS.

In particular, we focus on time independent linear stochastic problems with high dimensional random inputs, where the traditional polynomial chaos methods, and most of the existing methods, incur prohibitively high simulation cost. The local polynomial chaos method employs a domain decomposition technique to approximate the stochastic solution locally. In each subdomain, a subdomain problem is solved independently and, more importantly, in a much lower dimensional random space. In a postprocesing stage, accurate samples of the original stochastic problems are obtained from the samples of the local solutions by enforcing the correct stochastic structure of the random inputs and the coupling conditions at the interfaces of the subdomains. Overall, the method is able to solve stochastic PDEs in very large dimensions by solving a collection of low dimensional local problems and can be highly efficient. In this paper we present the general mathematical framework of the methodology and use numerical examples to demonstrate the properties of the method.

However, for certain problems, ILU factorizations can yield factors that are unstable and in some cases quite dense. Reordering techniques based on permuting the matrix prior to performing the factorization have been shown to improve the quality of the factorization, and the resulting preconditioner. In this paper, we examine the effect of reordering techniques based on multilevel graph coarsening ideas on one-level ILU factorizations, such as the level-based ILU(k) or the dual threshold ILUT algorithms. We consider an aggregation-based coarsening idea that implements two main coarsening frameworks-a top-down approach, and a bottom-up approach-each utilizing one of two different strategies to select the next-level coarse graph. Numerical results are presented to support our findings. C1 [Osei-Kuffuor, Daniel] Lawrence Livermore Natl Lab, Ctr Appl Sci Comp, Livermore, CA 94551 USA.

Our target is to develop highly parallel compact hashing methods suitable for the fine-grained parallelism of GPU and MIC architectures that will scale to the next generation of computing systems. As a model, we apply spatial hashing methods to the problem of determining neighbor elements in adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) schemes. By applying memory savings techniques, we extend the perfect spatial hash algorithm to a compact hash by compressing the resulting sparse data structures. Using compact hashing and specific memory optimizations, we increase the range of problems that can benefit from our ideal O(n) algorithms. The spatial hash methods are tested and compared across a variety of architectures on both a randomly generated sample mesh and an existing cell-based AMR shallow-water hydrodynamics scheme. We demonstrate consistent speed-up and increased performance across every device tested and explore the ubiquitous application of spatial hashing in scientific computing.

One solution to this problem is to compress these data sets as they are generated and visualize the compressed results afterwards. We explore this approach, specifically subsampling velocity data and the resulting errors for particle advection-based flow visualization. We compare three techniques: random selection of subsamples, selection at regular locations corresponding to multi-resolution reduction, and introduce a novel technique for informed selection of subsamples. Furthermore, we explore an adaptive system which exchanges the subsampling budget over parallel tasks, to ensure that subsampling occurs at the highest rate in the areas that need it most. We perform supercomputing runs to measure the effectiveness of the selection and adaptation techniques. Overall, we find that adaptation is very effective, and, among selection techniques, our informed selection provides the most accurate results, followed by the multi-resolution selection, and with the worst accuracy coming from random subsamples.

New technologies are enabling the detection, transmission, and storage of data of hitherto unimaginable quantity and quality across the electromagnetic, gravity and particle spectra. The observational data obtained during this decade alone will supersede everything accumulated over the preceding four thousand years of astronomy. Currently there are 4 large-scale photometric and spectroscopic surveys underway, each generating and/or utilizing hundreds of terabytes of data per year. Some will focus on the static universe while others will greatly expand our knowledge of transient phenomena. Maximizing the science from these programs requires integrating the processing pipeline with high-performance computing resources. These are coupled to large astrophysics databases while making use of machine learning algorithms with near real-time turnaround. Here we present an overview of one of these programs, the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF). We will cover the processing and discovery pipeline we developed at LBNL and NERSC for it and several of the great discoveries made during the 4 years of observations with PTF.

The procedure for the synthesis of the zinc-based metal-organic framework used in initial crystal sponge reports has been modified to yield competent crystals in 3 days instead of 2 weeks. These crystal sponges were tested on some small molecules, with two being unexpectedly difficult cases for analysis with in-house diffractometers in regard to data quality and proper space-group determination. These issues were easily resolved by the use of synchrotron radiation using data-collection times of less than an hour. One of these guests induced a single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation to create a larger unit cell with over 500 non-H atoms in the asymmetric unit. This led to a non-trivial refinement scenario that afforded the best Flack x absolute stereochemical determination parameter to date for these systems. The structures did not require the use of PLATON/SQUEEZE or other solvent-masking programs, and are the highest-quality crystalline sponge systems reported to date where the results are strongly supported by the data. A set of guidelines for the entire crystallographic process were developed through these studies. In particular, the refinement guidelines include strategies to refine the host framework, locate guests and determine occupancies, discussion of the proper use of geometric and anisotropic displacement parameter restraints and constraints, and whether to perform solvent squeezing/masking. The single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation process for the crystal sponges is also discussed. The presented general guidelines will be invaluable for researchers interested in using the crystalline sponge method at in-house diffraction or synchrotron facilities, will facilitate the collection and analysis of reliable high-quality data, and will allow construction of chemically and physically sensible models for guest structural determination.

The polarization of antiprotons produced under typical conditions for antiproton beam preparation will be measured at the CERN/PS. If the production process creates some polarization, a polarized antiproton beam could be prepared by a rather simple modification of the antiproton beam facility. The detection setup and the expected experimental conditions are described. C1 [Grzonka, D.; Kilian, K.; Ritman, J.; Sefzick, T.] Forschungszentrum Julich, Inst Kernphys, D-52425 Julich, Germany.

Finite-difference-time- domain (FDTD) calculations of the sum square electric field (SSEF) for films with total bilayer thicknesses of 1200-3600 nm were used to construct models for simultaneously measuring the film thickness and the location of the buried interface between the PS and PC layers. Samples with total thicknesses of 1320, 1890, 2300, and 2750 nm and varying PS/PC interface locations were analyzed using SA Raman spectroscopy. Comparing SA Raman spectroscopy and optical profilometry measurements, the average percent difference in the total bilayer thickness was 2.0% for films less than similar to 2300 nm thick. The average percent difference in the thickness of the PS layer, which reflects the interface location, was 2.5% when the PS layer was less than similar to 1800 nm. SA Raman spectroscopy has been shown to be a viable, non-destructive method capable of determining the total bilayer thickness and buried interface location for bilayer samples consisting of thin polymer films with comparable indices of refraction.

TI Dual-spacecraft reconstruction of a three-dimensional magnetic flux rope at the Earth's magnetopause SO ANNALES GEOPHYSICAE LA English DT Article DE Magnetospheric physics; magnetopause cusp and boundary layers; space plasma physics; magnetic reconnection; instruments and techniques ID LATITUDE BOUNDARY-LAYER; CLUSTER OBSERVATIONS; TRANSFER EVENTS; FIELD TOPOLOGY; NULL POINTS; SOLAR-WIND; X-LINE; RECONNECTION; PLASMA; MAGNETOMETER AB We present the first results of a data analysis method, developed by Sonnerup and Hasegawa (2011), for reconstructing three-dimensional (3-D), magnetohydrostatic structures from data taken as two closely spaced satellites traverse the structures. The method is applied to a magnetic flux transfer event (FTE), which was encountered on 27 June 2007 by at least three (TH-C, TH-D, and TH-E) of the five THEMIS probes near the subsolar magnetopause. The FTE was sandwiched between two oppositely directed reconnection jets under a southward interplanetary magnetic field condition, consistent with its generation by multiple X-line reconnection. The recovered 3-D field indicates that a magnetic flux rope with a diameter of similar to 3000 km was embedded in the magnetopause. The FTE flux rope had a significant 3-D structure, because the 3-D field reconstructed from the data from TH-C and TH-D (separated by similar to 390 km) better predicts magnetic field variations actually measured along the TH-E path than does the 2-D Grad-Shafranov reconstruction using the data from TH-C (which was closer to TH-E than TH-D and was at similar to 1250 km from TH-E). Such a 3D nature suggests that the field lines reconnected at the two X-lines on both sides of the flux rope are entangled in a complicated way through their interaction with each other. The generation process of the observed 3-D flux rope is discussed on the basis of the reconstruction results and the pitch-angle distribution of electrons observed in and around the FTE.

TI Carbon dioxide stimulation of photosynthesis in Liquidambar styraciflua is not sustained during a 12-year field experiment SO AOB PLANTS LA English DT Article DE Acclimation; down-regulation; free-air CO2 enrichment; nitrogen limitation; sweetgum ID AIR CO2 ENRICHMENT; ELEVATED ATMOSPHERIC CO2; PROGRESSIVE NITROGEN LIMITATION; PINUS-TAEDA; TEMPERATE FOREST; LOBLOLLY-PINE; STOMATAL CONDUCTANCE; USE EFFICIENCY; LEAF PHOTOSYNTHESIS; DECIDUOUS FOREST AB Elevated atmospheric CO2 (eCO(2)) often increases photosynthetic CO2 assimilation (A) in field studies of temperate tree species. However, there is evidence that A may decline through time due to biochemical and morphological acclimation, and environmental constraints. Indeed, at the free-air CO2 enrichment (FACE) study in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, A was increased in 12-year-old sweetgum trees following 2 years of similar to 40 % enhancement of CO2. A was re-assessed a decade later to determine if the initial enhancement of photosynthesis by eCO(2) was sustained through time. Measurements were conducted at prevailing CO2 and temperature on detached, re-hydrated branches using a portable gas exchange system. Photosynthetic CO2 response curves (A versus the CO2 concentration in the intercellular air space (Ci); or A-Ci curves) were contrasted with earlier measurements using leaf photosynthesis model equations. Relationships between light-saturated photosynthesis (Asat), maximum electron transport rate (Jmax), maximum Rubisco activity (Vcmax), chlorophyll content and foliar nitrogen (N) were assessed. In 1999, Asat for eCO(2) treatmentswas 15.4+ 0.8 mmol m 22 s 21, 22 % higher than aCO(2) treatments (P, 0.01). By 2009, Asat declined to,50 % of 1999 values, and there was no longer a significant effect of eCO(2) (Asat similar to 6.9 or 5.7+ 0.7 mmol m 22 s 21 for eCO(2) or aCO(2), respectively). In 1999, there was no treatment effect on area-based foliar N; however, by 2008, N content in eCO(2) foliage was 17 % less than that in aCO(2) foliage. Photosynthetic N-use efficiency (Asat : N) was greater in eCO(2) in 1999 resulting in greater Asat despite similar N content, but the enhanced efficiency in eCO(2) trees was lost as foliar N declined to sub-optimal levels. There was no treatment difference in the declining linear relationships between Jmax or Vcmax with declining N, or in the ratio of Jmax : Vcmax through time. Results suggest that the initial enhancement of photosynthesis to elevated CO2 will not be sustained through time if N becomes limited.

TI Opportunities to empower statisticians in emerging areas SO APPLIED STOCHASTIC MODELS IN BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY LA English DT Article DE Statistical engineering; meta-analysis; multiple data sources; resource allocation; decision making ID COMPLEX-SYSTEMS; RELIABILITY; OPTIMIZATION; CALIBRATION AB Statistics has long played an important role in impacting the practices of business and industry. As data collection strategies become more automated and first-principles scientific modeling with computer codes becomes more sophisticated, statistics has the opportunity to evolve and further contribute to the bottom line. Thinking about statistics as a set of tools to be applied piecemeal to a complex problem can be limiting. The emerging discussion about statistical engineering (as proposed by Roger Hoerl and Ronald Snee in Quality Progress, 2010) provides a framework for formalizing the role of statistics in a broader set of applications. Expanding how we think about data collection through resource allocation with multiple possible data types; combining data with first principles models of underlying science and engineering phenomena; and focusing on the multiple facets of the decision-making processall represent opportunities to expand the impact and influence of statistics. Statisticians have the opportunity to embrace these new opportunities to expand our sphere of influence and make broader contributions. Examples from collaborative efforts with subject matter experts at Los Alamos National Laboratory are presented to illustrate these emerging areas. Copyright (c) 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

We first exploit the facile nature of this surface modification procedure to generate an array of polydopamine that, in conjunction with fluorescent tags, provides the ability to detect multiple protein targets simultaneously and with great specificity. We then demonstrate the use of polydopamine as a matrix to confine gold nanoparticles at the surface of glass and graphene substrates. The nanoparticles (NPs) are used to template further gold nanoparticle growth in situ at the interface; subsequent calcination to remove the polydopamine matrix and sinter the NPs generates a highly active surface enhanced Raman scattering surface that allows for sensitive molecular detection. These varied uses in surface modification/biosensing demonstrate the utility of polydopamine as a functional surface modification for control of physical and electronic properties at the interface.

TI On the structure of self-similar detonation waves in TNT charges SO COMBUSTION EXPLOSION AND SHOCK WAVES LA English DT Article DE detonation waves in TNT; phase-plane method; similarity solution; CJ conditions; species concentrations ID SIMILAR BLAST WAVES AB A phase-plane method is proposed to model flow fields bounded by constant-velocity detonation waves propagating in TNT charges. Similarity transformations are used to formulate the problem in the phase plane of non-dimensional sound speed Z versus non-dimensional velocity F. The formulation results in two coupled ordinary differential equations that are solved simultaneously. The solution corresponds to an integral curve Z(F) in the phase plane, starting at the Chapman-Jouguet (CJ) point and terminating at the singularity A, which is the sonic point within the wave. The system is closed by computing thermodynamic variables along the expansion isentrope passing through the CJ point, forming, in effect, the complete equation of state of the thermodynamic system. The CJ condition and isentropic states are computed by the Cheetah thermodynamic code. Solutions are developed for planar, cylindrical, and spherical detonations. Species profiles are also computed; carbon graphite is found to be the predominant component (a parts per thousand 10 mol/kg). The similarity solution is used to initialize a 1D gas-dynamic simulation that predicts the initial expansion of the detonation products and the formation of a blast wave in air. Such simulations provide an insight into the thermodynamic states and species concentrations that create the initial optical emissions from TNT fireballs.

The latter group was formed in situ, presumably by the nucleophilic attack of the carbanion -CH2COCH3 to the carbonyl carbon atoms of (pz) CO(py) CO( pz), in the presence of Mnn+ ions under basic conditions and in solvent Me2CO. Complex 1 possesses an almost ideal trigonal bipyramidal topology, with the two Na+ ions occupying the apical positions and the three Mn-III ions residing in the equatorial trigonal plane. The bridging ligation about the metal ions is provided by a mu(3)-O-2-ion and six mu-OR-groups from the L-2-ligand, while peripheral ligation is completed by three terminal azido groups and the pyridine N and carbonyl O atoms of L2-. Magnetic susceptibility studies revealed the presence of predominant antiferromagnetic exchange interactions between the paramagnetic Mn-III centres; the use of an anisotropic, equilateral Mn-3(III) triangle model allowed us to fit the magnetic data and obtain the best-fit parameters: J = -10.8 cm(-1), D = -5.3 cm(-1), and g = 1.99. The combined results demonstrate the rich chemical reactivity of carbonyl groups and the ability of poly-ketone ligands to stabilize cluster compounds with unprecedented structural motifs and interesting architectures.

TI Camera System Resolution and its Influence on Digital Image Correlation SO EXPERIMENTAL MECHANICS LA English DT Article DE Digital image correlation; Uncertainty quantification; Optical measurements; Full-field measurement; Lens resolution ID INTENSITY PATTERN NOISE; ERRORS; STRAIN; INTERPOLATION AB Digital image correlation (DIC) uses images from a camera and lens system to make quantitative measurements of the shape, displacement, and strain of test objects. This increasingly popular method has had little research on the influence of the imaging system resolution on the DIC results. This paper investigates the entire imaging system and studies how both the camera and lens resolution influence the DIC results as a function of the system Modulation Transfer Function (MTF). It will show that when making spatial resolution decisions (including speckle size) the resolution limiting component should be considered. A consequence of the loss of spatial resolution is that the DIC uncertainties will be increased. This is demonstrated using both synthetic and experimental images with varying resolution. The loss of image resolution and DIC accuracy can be compensated for by increasing the subset size, or better, by increasing the speckle size. The speckle-size and spatial resolution are now a function of the lens resolution rather than the more typical assumption of the pixel size. The paper will demonstrate the tradeoffs associated with limited lens resolution. C1 [Reu, P. L.; Sweatt, W.; Miller, T.; Fleming, D.] Sandia Natl Labs, Albuquerque, NM 87185 USA.

Acoustic-and elastic-waveform inversion (AEWI) usually produces smoothed inversion results of subsurface geophysical properties. We develop novel AEWI methods using a modified total-variation regularization scheme to preserve sharp interfaces in piecewise-constant structures and improve the accuracy of compressional-and shear wave velocity inversion. We use an alternating-minimization algorithm to solve the minimization problem of our new waveform inversion methods. We decouple the original optimization problem into two simple subproblems: a standard waveform inversion subproblem with the Tikhonov regularization and a standard L-2-TV subproblem. We solve these two subproblems separately using the non-linear conjugate-gradient and split-Bregman iterative methods. The computational costs of our new waveform inversion methods using the modified total-variation regularization scheme are comparable to those of conventional waveform inversion approaches. Our numerical examples using synthetic seismic reflection data show that our new methods not only preserve sharp interfaces of subsurface structures, but also significantly improve the accuracy of compressional-and shear wave velocity inversion.

The project includes global simulations of yields, phenologies, and many land-surface fluxes using 12-15 modeling groups for many crops, climate forcing data sets, and scenarios over the historical period from 1948 to 2012. The primary outcomes of the project include (1) a detailed comparison of the major differences and similarities among global models commonly used for large-scale climate impact assessment, (2) an evaluation of model and ensemble hindcasting skill, (3) quantification of key uncertainties from climate input data, model choice, and other sources, and (4) a multi-model analysis of the agricultural impacts of large-scale climate extremes from the historical record.

TI A new WRF-Chem treatment for studying regional-scale impacts of cloud processes on aerosol and trace gases in parameterized cumuli SO GEOSCIENTIFIC MODEL DEVELOPMENT LA English DT Article ID MODELING ORGANIC AEROSOLS; BASIS-SET APPROACH; CONVECTIVE PARAMETERIZATION; RADIATIVE IMPACT; CLIMATE SIMULATIONS; NUMERICAL-MODEL; BOUNDARY-LAYER; AIR-QUALITY; WEATHER; PRECIPITATION AB A new treatment of cloud effects on aerosol and trace gases within parameterized shallow and deep convection, and aerosol effects on cloud droplet number, has been implemented in the Weather Research and Forecasting model coupled with Chemistry (WRF-Chem) version 3.2.1 that can be used to better understand the aerosol life cycle over regional to synoptic scales. The modifications to the model include treatment of the cloud droplet number mixing ratio; key cloud microphysical and macrophysical parameters (including the updraft fractional area, updraft and downdraft mass fluxes, and entrainment) averaged over the population of shallow clouds, or a single deep convective cloud; and vertical transport, activation/resuspension, aqueous chemistry, and wet removal of aerosol and trace gases in warm clouds. These changes have been implemented in both the WRF-Chem chemistry packages as well as the Kain Fritsch (KF) cumulus parameterization that has been modified to better represent shallow convective clouds. Testing of the modified WRF-Chem has been completed using observations from the Cumulus Humilis Aerosol Processing Study (CHAPS). The simulation results are used to investigate the impact of cloud aerosol interactions on regional-scale transport of black carbon (BC), organic aerosol (OA), and sulfate aerosol. Based on the simulations presented here, changes in the columnintegrated BC can be as large as 50% when cloud aerosol interactions are considered (due largely to wet removal), or as large as +40 % for sulfate under non-precipitating conditions due to sulfate production in the parameterized clouds. The modifications to WRF-Chem are found to account for changes in the cloud droplet number concentration (CDNC) and changes in the chemical composition of cloud droplet residuals in a way that is consistent with observations collected during CHAPS. Efforts are currently underway to port the changes described here to the latest version of WRFChem, and it is anticipated that they will be included in a future public release of WRF-Chem.

However, the relevance of lncRNAs in the cell and tissue response to ionizing radiation has not yet been characterized. Here we used microarray profiling to determine lncRNA and mRNA expression in mammary glands of BALB/c and SPRET/EiJ mice after low-dose ionizing radiation (LDIR) exposure. We found that unirradiated mammary tissues of these strains differed significantly in baseline expressions of 290 lncRNAs. LDIR exposure (10 cGy) induced a significant change in the expression of many lncRNAs. The vast majority of lncRNAs identified to be differentially expressed after LDIR in either BALB/c or SPRET/EiJ had a significantly correlated expression pattern with at least one LDIR responsive mRNA. Functional analysis revealed that the response to LDIR in BALB/c mice is highly dynamic with enrichment for genes involved in tissue injury, inflammatory responses, and mammary gland development at 2, 4, and 8 weeks after LDIR, respectively. Our study demonstrates that genetic background strongly influences the expression of lncRNAs and their response to radiation and that lncRNAs may coordinate the tissue response to LDIR exposure via regulation of coding mRNAs.

Here, using a combination of scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and density functional theory (DFT), we systematically probe the role of epitaxial strain in mixed phase bismuth ferrite thin films. Electron energy loss O K and Fe L-2,L-3 edge spectra acquired across the rhombohedral (R)-tetragonal (T) phase boundary reveal progressive, and systematic, changes in electronic structure going from one phase to the other. The comparison of the acquired spectra with theoretical simulations using DFT suggests a breakage in the structural symmetry across the boundary due to the simultaneous presence of increasing epitaxial strain and off-axial symmetry in the T phase. This implies that the imposed epitaxial strain plays a significant role in not only changing the crystal-field geometry, but also the bonding environment surrounding the central iron cation at the interface thus providing new insights and a possible link to understand how the imposed strain could perturb magnetic ordering in the T phase BFO.

TI Wind power curve modeling in complex terrain using statistical models SO JOURNAL OF RENEWABLE AND SUSTAINABLE ENERGY LA English DT Article ID TURBINE POWER; ATMOSPHERIC STABILITY; SPEED AB The simplest power curves model wind power only as a function of the wind speed at the turbine hub height. While the latter is an essential predictor of power output, wind speed information in other parts of the vertical profile, as well as additional atmospheric variables, are also important determinants of power. The goal of this work was to determine the gain in predictive ability afforded by adding wind speed information at other heights, as well as other atmospheric variables, to the power prediction model. Using data from a wind farm with a moderately complex terrain in the Altamont Pass region in California, we trained three statistical models-a neural network, a random forest and a Gaussian process model-to predict power output from various sets of aforementioned predictors. The comparison of these predictions to the observed power data revealed that considerable improvements in prediction accuracy can be achieved both through the addition of predictors other than the hub-height wind speed and the use of statistical models. To our knowledge, the use of the Gaussian process model in this context is new, in contrast to neural networks and random forests. The advantage of this model over the other two models is that it provides a much more natural way to estimate the uncertainty associated with its predictions. In addition, this study presents one of the most comprehensive analyses to date of the relative importance of various wind power curve inputs. (C) 2015 AIP Publishing LLC.

TI On the data-driven inference of modulatory networks in climate science: an application to West African rainfall SO NONLINEAR PROCESSES IN GEOPHYSICS LA English DT Article ID TROPICAL ATLANTIC; INDIAN-OCEAN; VARIABILITY; SAHEL; DYNAMICS; ASSOCIATION; IMPACTS; SYSTEMS; REGION; LASSO AB Decades of hypothesis-driven and/or first-principles research have been applied towards the discovery and explanation of the mechanisms that drive climate phenomena, such as western African Sahel summer rainfall variability. Although connections between various climate factors have been theorized, not all of the key relationships are fully understood. We propose a data-driven approach to identify candidate players in this climate system, which can help explain underlying mechanisms and/or even suggest new relationships, to facilitate building a more comprehensive and predictive model of the modulatory relationships influencing a climate phenomenon of interest. We applied coupled heterogeneous association rule mining (CHARM), Lasso multivariate regression, and dynamic Bayesian networks to find relationships within a complex system, and explored means with which to obtain a consensus result from the application of such varied methodologies. Using this fusion of approaches, we identified relationships among climate factors that modulate Sahel rainfall. These relationships fall into two categories: well-known associations from prior climate knowledge, such as the relationship with the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and putative links, such as North Atlantic Oscillation, that invite further research.

TI Material frame representation of equivalent stress tensor for discrete solids SO PHYSICAL MESOMECHANICS LA English DT Article DE Cauchy stress tensor; material frame formulation; molecular dynamics ID MOLECULAR-DYNAMICS; SIMULATIONS; CRYSTALS; STATE AB In this paper, we derive expressions for equivalent Cauchy and Piola stress tensors that can be applied to discrete solids and are exact for the case of homogeneous deformation. The main principles used for this derivation are material frame formulation, long wave approximation and decomposition of particle motion into continuum and thermal parts. Equivalent Cauchy and Piola stress tensors for discrete solids are expressed in terms of averaged interparticle distances and forces. No assumptions about interparticle forces are used in the derivation, thereby ensuring our expressions are valid irrespective of the choice of interatomic potential used to model the discrete solid. The derived expressions are used for calculation of the local Cauchy stress in several test problems. The results are compared with prediction of the classical continuum definition (force per unit area) as well as existing discrete formulations (Hardy, Lucy, and Heinz-Paul-Binder stress tensors). It is shown that in the case of homogeneous deformations and finite temperatures the proposed expression leads to the same values of stresses as classical continuum definition. Hardy and Lucy stress tensors give the same result only if the stress is averaged over a sufficiently large volume. Thus, given the lack of sensitivity to averaging volume size, the derived expressions can be used as benchmarks for calculation of stresses in discrete solids. C1 [Kuzkin, V. A.; Krivtsov, A.

Quinoxalines are shown to be electrochemically inactive in most electrolytes in propylene carbonate, yet the predicted reduction potential is shown to match computational estimates in acetonitrile. We find that in the presence of LiBF4 and trace water, an adduct is formed between quinoxaline and the Lewis acid BF3, which then displays electrochemical activity at 1-1.5 V higher than prior observations of quinoxaline electrochemistry in non-aqueous media. Direct synthesis and testing of a bis-BF3 quinoxaline complex further validates the assignment of the electrochemically active species, presenting up to a similar to 26-fold improvement in charging capacity, demonstrating the advantages of this adduct over unmodified quinoxaline in LiBF4-based electrolyte. The use of Lewis acids to effectively "turn on" the electrochemical activity of organic molecules may lead to the development of new active material classes for energy storage applications.

Both binding energy and formation energy are calculated to characterize the stability of the system. It is found that single-side hydrogenated graphene is always unstable. However, for double-side hydrogenation, some configurations are stable due to the increased carbon-carbon sp(3) hybridization compared to single-side hydrogenation. Furthermore, it is found that the system is energetically favorable when an equal number of hydrogen atoms are adsorbed on each side of the graphene.

TI Microphase separation in thin films of lamellar forming polydisperse di-block copolymers SO RSC ADVANCES LA English DT Article ID ABA TRIBLOCK COPOLYMERS; CARLO PHASE-DIAGRAM; DIBLOCK COPOLYMERS; CONFORMATIONAL ASYMMETRY; NEUTRON REFLECTIVITY; X-RAY; MELTS; MORPHOLOGY; POLYMERS; TRANSITION AB Despite the ubiquity of polydispersity in chain lengths of di-block copolymers, its effects on microphase separation in thin films have eluded a clear understanding. In this work, we have studied effects of polydispersity on the microphase separation in thin films of lamellar forming di-block copolymers using self-consistent field theory (SCFT) and neutron reflectivity experiments. Di-block copolymers containing a polydisperse block of poly(glycidylmethacrylate) (PGMA) connected to a near-monodisperse block poly(2-vinyl-4,4-dimethyl-d(6) azlactone) (PVDMA-d(6)) are considered in this work. Effects of chain length polydispersity, film thickness, substrate-monomer and monomer-monomer interactions on the microphase segregation are studied using SCFT. The theoretical study reveals that in comparison to a film created with monodisperse di-block copolymers, an increase in polydispersity tends to decrease the number of lamellar strata that can be packed in a film of given thickness. This is a direct consequence of an increase in lamellar domain spacing with an increase in polydispersity index. Furthermore, it is shown that polydispersity induces conformational asymmetry and an increase in the polydispersity index leads to an increase in the effective Kuhn segment length of the polydisperse blocks. It is shown that the conformational asymmetry effects, which are entropic in origin and of increasing importance as film thickness decreases, drive the polydisperse blocks to the middle of the films despite favorable substrate interactions. These predictions are verified by results from neutron reflectivity experiments on thin films made from moderately polydisperse PGMA-PVDMA-d(6) di-block copolymer deposited on silicon substrates. Finally, results from SCFT are used to predict neutron reflectivity profiles, providing a facile and robust route to obtain useful physical insights into the structure of polydisperse diblock copolymers at interfaces.

Characterization of small particle core-shell materials presents a unique analytical challenge. Herein, single particles of solid-state materials with core-shell structures were measured using on-line aerosol time-of-flight mass spectrometry (ATOFMS). Laser 'depth profiling' experiments verified the core-shell nature of two known core-shell particle configurations (< 2 mu m diameter) that possessed inverted, complimentary core-shell compositions (ZrO2@SiO2 versus SiO2@ZrO2). The average peak area ratios of Si and Zr ions were calculated to definitively show their core-shell composition. These ratio curves acted as a calibrant for an uncharacterized sample - a metal-organic framework (MOF) material surround by silica (UiO-66(Zr)@SiO2; UiO = University of Oslo). ATOFMS depth profiling was used to show that these particles did indeed exhibit a core-shell architecture. The results presented here show that ATOFMS can provide unique insights into core-shell solid-state materials with particle diameters between 0.2-3 mu m. C1 [Cahill, J.

TI Carbonaceous aerosols recorded in a southeastern Tibetan glacier: analysis of temporal variations and model estimates of sources and radiative forcing SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID LIGHT-ABSORBING IMPURITIES; ATMOSPHERIC BROWN CLOUDS; BLACK-CARBON; ORGANIC-CARBON; ARCTIC SNOW; HYDROLOGICAL CYCLE; OPTICAL-PROPERTIES; SPECTRAL ALBEDO; SULFUR-DIOXIDE; RURAL INDIA AB High temporal resolution measurements of black carbon (BC) and organic carbon (OC) covering the time period of 1956-2006 in an ice core over the southeastern Tibetan Plateau show a distinct seasonal dependence of BC and OC with higher respective concentrations but a lower OC / BC ratio in the non-monsoon season than during the summer monsoon. We use a global aerosol-climate model, in which BC emitted from different source regions can be explicitly tracked, to quantify BC source-receptor relationships between four Asian source regions and the southeastern Tibetan Plateau as a receptor. The model results show that South Asia has the largest contribution to the presentday (1996-2005) mean BC deposition at the ice-core drilling site during the non-monsoon season (October to May) (81 %) and all year round (74 %), followed by East Asia (14% to the non-monsoon mean and 21% to the annual mean). The ice-core record also indicates stable and relatively low BC and OC deposition fluxes from the late 1950s to 1980, followed by an overall increase to recent years. This trend is consistent with the BC and OC emission inventories and the fuel consumption of South Asia (as the primary contributor to annual mean BC deposition). Moreover, the increasing trend of the OC / BC ratio since the early 1990s indicates a growing contribution of coal combustion and/or biomass burning to the emissions. The estimated radiative forcing induced by BC and OC impurities in snow has increased since 1980, suggesting an increasing potential influence of carbonaceous aerosols on the Tibetan glacier melting and the availability of water resources in the surrounding regions. Our study indicates that more attention to OC is merited because of its non-negligible light absorption and the recent rapid increases evident in the ice-core record.

TI WRF-Chem model predictions of the regional impacts of N2O5 heterogeneous processes on night-time chemistry over north-western Europe SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID INTERMEDIATES CRI MECHANISM; SECONDARY ORGANIC AEROSOL; SIZE DISTRIBUTIONS; ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY; MASS-SPECTROMETER; O-X; NITRATE; PARAMETERIZATION; NO3; REANALYSIS AB Chemical modelling studies have been conducted over north-western Europe in summer conditions, showing that night-time dinitrogen pentoxide (N2O5) heterogeneous reactive uptake is important regionally in modulating particulate nitrate and has a modest influence on oxidative chemistry. Results from Weather Research and Forecasting model with Chemistry (WRF-Chem) model simulations, run with a detailed volatile organic compound (VOC) gas-phase chemistry scheme and the Model for Simulating Aerosol Interactions and Chemistry (MOSAIC) sectional aerosol scheme, were compared with a series of airborne gas and particulate measurements made over the UK in July 2010. Modelled mixing ratios of key gas-phase species were reasonably accurate (correlations with measurements of 0.7-0.9 for NO2 and O-3). However modelled loadings of particulate species were less accurate (correlation with measurements for particulate sulfate and ammonium were between 0.0 and 0.6). Sulfate mass loadings were particularly low (modelled means of 0.5-0.7 mu gkg(air)(-1), compared with measurements of 1.0-1.5 mu gkg(air)(-1)). Two flights from the campaign were used as test cases - one with low relative humidity (RH) (60-70 %), the other with high RH (80-90 %). N2O5 heterogeneous chemistry was found to not be important in the low-RH test case; but in the high-RH test case it had a strong effect and significantly improved the agreement between modelled and measured NO3 and N2O5. When the model failed to capture atmospheric RH correctly, the modelled NO3 and N2O5 mixing ratios for these flights differed significantly from the measurements. This demonstrates that, for regional modelling which involves heterogeneous processes, it is essential to capture the ambient temperature and water vapour profiles. The night-time NO3 oxidation of VOCs across the whole region was found to be 100-300 times slower than the day-time OH oxidation of these compounds. The difference in contribution was less for alkenes (x80) and comparable for dimethylsulfide (DMS). However the suppression of NO3 mixing ratios across the domain by N2O5 heterogeneous chemistry has only a very slight, negative, influence on this oxidative capacity. The influence on regional particulate nitrate mass loadings is stronger. Night-time N2O5 heterogeneous chemistry maintains the production of particulate nitrate within polluted regions: when this process is taken into consideration, the daytime peak (for the 95th percentile) of PM10 nitrate mass loadings remains around 5.6 mu gkg(air)(-1), but the night-time minimum increases from 3.5 to 4.6 mu gkg(air)(-1). The sustaining of higher particulate mass loadings through the night by this process improves model skill at matching measured aerosol nitrate diurnal cycles and will negatively impact on regional air quality, requiring this process to be included in regional models.

TI Effects of pre-existing ice crystals on cirrus clouds and comparison between different ice nucleation parameterizations with the Community Atmosphere Model (CAM5) SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID TROPICAL TROPOPAUSE LAYER; MICROWAVE IMAGER SSM/I; LIQUID WATER; MICROPHYSICS SCHEME; AQUEOUS-SOLUTIONS; VERSION-3 CAM3; CLIMATE MODEL; AEROSOLS; NUCLEI; SENSITIVITY AB In order to improve the treatment of ice nucleation in a more realistic manner in the Community Atmosphere Model version 5.3 (CAM5.3), the effects of pre-existing ice crystals on ice nucleation in cirrus clouds are considered. In addition, by considering the in-cloud variability in ice saturation ratio, homogeneous nucleation takes place spatially only in a portion of the cirrus cloud rather than in the whole area of the cirrus cloud. Compared to observations, the ice number concentrations and the probability distributions of ice number concentration are both improved with the updated treatment. The pre-existing ice crystals significantly reduce ice number concentrations in cirrus clouds, especially at mid- to high latitudes in the upper troposphere (by a factor of similar to 10). Furthermore, the contribution of heterogeneous ice nucleation to cirrus ice crystal number increases considerably. Besides the default ice nucleation parameterization of Liu and Penner (2005, hereafter LP) in CAM5.3, two other ice nucleation parameterizations of Barahona and Nenes (2009, hereafter BN) and Karcher et al. (2006, hereafter KL) are implemented in CAM5.3 for the comparison. In-cloud ice crystal number concentration, percentage contribution from heterogeneous ice nucleation to total ice crystal number, and pre-existing ice effects simulated by the three ice nucleation parameterizations have similar patterns in the simulations with present-day aerosol emissions. However, the change (present-day minus pre-industrial times) in global annual mean column ice number concentration from the KL parameterization (3.24 x 10(6) m(-2)) is less than that from the LP (8.46 x 10(6) m(-2)) and BN (5.62 x 10(6) m(-2)) parameterizations. As a result, the experiment using the KL parameterization predicts a much smaller anthropogenic aerosol long-wave indirect forcing (0.24 W m(-2)) than that using the LP (0.46 W m(-2)) and BN (0.39W m(-2)) parameterizations.

TI HESFIRE: a global fire model to explore the role of anthropogenic and weather drivers SO BIOGEOSCIENCES LA English DT Article ID BURNED AREA; FOREST-FIRES; VEGETATION MODEL; EARTH SYSTEM; EMISSIONS; CLIMATE; DEFORESTATION; SENSITIVITY; DYNAMICS; PATTERNS AB Vegetation fires are a major driver of ecosystem dynamics and greenhouse gas emissions. Anticipating potential changes in fire activity and their impacts relies first on a realistic model of fire activity (e.g., fire incidence and interannual variability) and second on a model accounting for fire impacts (e.g., mortality and emissions). In this paper, we focus on our understanding of fire activity and describe a new fire model, HESFIRE (Human-Earth System FIRE), which integrates the influence of weather, vegetation characteristics, and human activities on fires in a stand-alone framework. It was developed with a particular emphasis on allowing fires to spread over consecutive days given their major contribution to burned areas in many ecosystems. A subset of the model parameters was calibrated through an optimization procedure using observation data to enhance our knowledge of regional drivers of fire activity and improve the performance of the model on a global scale. Modeled fire activity showed reasonable agreement with observations of burned area, fire seasonality, and interannual variability in many regions, including for spatial and temporal domains not included in the optimization procedure. Significant discrepancies are investigated, most notably regarding fires in boreal regions and in xeric ecosystems and also fire size distribution. The sensitivity of fire activity to model parameters is analyzed to explore the dominance of specific drivers across regions and ecosystems. The characteristics of HESFIRE and the outcome of its evaluation provide insights into the influence of anthropogenic activities and weather, and their interactions, on fire activity.

However, current approach of soaking iron containing acid solutions onto milled biomass prior to pretreatment is time-consuming and subject to diffusion limitations. Here, we overexpressed soybean ferritin protein intracellularly in Arabidopsis plants (referred to as FerIN) under the control of the 35S promoter for the purpose of accumulating iron ions in Arabidopsis plants. The transgenic Arabidopsis plants accumulated iron during growth under both normal and iron-augmented watering conditions. Prussian blue staining showed punctuate staining of iron predominantly on the interior surfaces of cell lumen in FerIN plants. The harvested transgenic biomass showed enhanced pretreatability, in that it released 13-19% more glucose and xylose than empty vector control plants. The data indicated a positive correlation between iron concentration and sugar release during pretreatment of transgenic biomass. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

While oceans are generally considered the dominant sources of DMS, a shortage of ecosystem observations prevents an accurate analysis of terrestrial DMS sources. Using mass spectrometry, we quantified ambient DMS mixing ratios within and above a primary rainforest ecosystem in the central Amazon Basin in real-time (2010-2011) and at high vertical resolution (2013-2014). Elevated but highly variable DMS mixing ratios were observed within the canopy, showing clear evidence of a net ecosystem source to the atmosphere during both day and night in both the dry and wet seasons. Periods of high DMS mixing ratios lasting up to 8h (up to 160parts per trillion (ppt)) often occurred within the canopy and near the surface during many evenings and nights. Daytime gradients showed mixing ratios (up to 80ppt) peaking near the top of the canopy as well as near the ground following a rain event. The spatial and temporal distribution of DMS suggests that ambient levels and their potential climatic impacts are dominated by local soil and plant emissions. A soil source was confirmed by measurements of DMS emission fluxes from Amazon soils as a function of temperature and soil moisture. Furthermore, light- and temperature-dependent DMS emissions were measured from seven tropical tree species. Our study has important implications for understanding terrestrial DMS sources and their role in coupled land-atmosphere climate feedbacks.

Fracture toughness of the materials is directly related to structural integrity of the operating RPV and the materials must be evaluated relative to their radiation sensitivity and effects on overall structural integrity. In radiation-sensitive steel, the fracture toughness is decreased and is the property used to describe the radiation-induced embrittlement. The chapter presents a brief history of the development of fracture mechanics followed by more detailed discussions of different aspects of material fracture toughness under both quasi-static and dynamic loading conditions.

Objective: Test whether exercise, diet, or statins affect AD mortality in 153,536 participants of the National Runners' and Walkers' Health Studies. Methods: Hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were obtained from Cox proportional hazard analyses for AD mortality versus baseline metabolic equivalent (MET) hours/d of exercise energy expenditure (1 MET equals approximately 1 km run), statin use, and fruit intake when adjusted for age, race, gender, education, and exercise mode. Results: The National Death Index identified 175 subjects who died with AD listed as an underlying (n = 116) or contributing (n = 59) cause of death during 11.6-year average mortality surveillance. Relative to exercising <1.07 MET-hours/d, AD mortality was 6.0% lower for 1.07 to 1.8 MET-hours/d (HR: 0.94, 95% CI: 0.59 to 1.46, p = 0.79), 24.8% lower for 1.8 to 3.6 MET-hours/d (HR: 0.75, 95% CI: 0.50 to 1.13, p = 0.17), and 40.1% lower for >= 3.6 MET-hours/d (HR: 0.60, 95% CI: 0.37 to 0.97, p = 0.04). Relative to non-use, statin use was associated with 61% lower AD mortality (HR: 0.39, 95% CI: 0.15 to 0.82, p = 0.01), whereas use of other cholesterol-lowering medications was not (HR: 0.78, 95% CI: 0.40 to 1.38, p = 0.42). Relative to <1 piece of fruit/day, consuming 2 to 3 pieces daily was associated with 39.7% lower AD mortality (HR: 0.60, 95% CI: 0.39 to 0.91, p = 0.02) and >= 3 pieces/day with 60.7% lower AD mortality (HR: 0.39, 95% CI: 0.22 to 0.67, p = 0.0004). Conclusions: Exercise, statin, and fruit intake were associated with lower risk for AD mortality. C1 Univ Calif Berkeley, Lawrence Berkeley Natl Lab, Div Life Sci, Berkeley, CA 94720 USA.

On the basis of the observed host rock and alteration minerals, we present results of equilibrium thermochemical modeling of the Sheepbed mudstones of Yellowknife Bay in order to constrain the formation conditions of its secondary mineral assemblage. Building on conclusions from sedimentary observations by the Mars Science Laboratory team, we assume diagenetic, in situ alteration. The modeling shows that the mineral assemblage formed by the reaction of a CO2-poor and oxidizing, dilute aqueous solution (Gale Portage Water) in an open system with the Fe-rich basaltic-composition sedimentary rocks at 10-50 degrees C and water/rock ratio (mass of rock reacted with the starting fluid) of 100-1000, pH of similar to 7.5-12. Model alteration assemblages predominantly contain phyllosilicates (Fe-smectite, chlorite), the bulk composition of a mixture of which is close to that of saponite inferred from Chemistry and Mineralogy data and to that of saponite observed in the nakhlite Martian meteorites and terrestrial analogues. To match the observed clay mineral chemistry, inhomogeneous dissolution dominated by the amorphous phase and olivine is required. We therefore deduce a dissolving composition of approximately 70% amorphous material, with 20% olivine, and 10% whole rock component. C1 [Bridges, J.

TI Characterization of the energy-dependent response of riometer absorption SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-SPACE PHYSICS LA English DT Article DE cosmic noise absorption; riometer; electron precipitation; radiation belts; particle modeling; electron energy ID AURORAL RADIO ABSORPTION; RADIATION BELT ELECTRONS; IMAGING RIOMETER; RELATIVISTIC ELECTRONS; MORNING SECTOR; IONOSPHERIC ABSORPTION; RESONANT DIFFUSION; SPIKE EVENTS; COSMIC NOISE; E-REGION AB Ground-based riometers provide an inexpensive means to continuously remote sense the precipitation of electrons in the dynamic auroral region of Earth's ionosphere. The energy-dependent relationship between riometer absorption and precipitating electrons is thus of great importance for understanding the loss of electrons from the Earth's magnetosphere. In this study, statistical and event-based analyses are applied to determine the energy of electrons to which riometers chiefly respond. Time-lagged correlation analysis of trapped to precipitating fluxes shows that daily averaged absorption best correlates with approximate to 60 keV trapped electron flux at zero-time lag, although large variability is observed across different phases of the solar cycle. High-time resolution statistical cross-correlation analysis between signatures observed by riometer stations, and assuming electron motion due to gradient and curvature drift, results in inferred energies of 10-100 keV, with a clear maximum in occurrence for 40-60 keV electrons. One event is considered in detail utilizing riometer absorption signatures obtained from several stations. The mean inferred energies for the initial rise time and peak of the absorption after correction for electric field effects were approximate to 70 keV and approximate to 60 keV, respectively. The analyses presented provide a means to characterize the energy of electrons to which riometers are responding in both a statistical sense and during the evolution of individual events.

The most difficult challenge is accessing defect free and optimized MMM membranes. Defects are generally due to incompatible interfaces between the polymer and the filler particle. Herein, we present a new approach to modify and optimize the surface of UiO-66-NH2 based MOF particles to improve its interaction with Matrimid (R) polymer. A series of surface modified UiO-66-NH2 particles were synthesized and characterized using H-1 NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, XPS, and powder X-ray diffraction. MMMs containing surface optimized MOF particles exhibit improved thermal and mechanical properties. Most importantly, the MMMs show significantly enhanced gas separation properties; CO2 permeability was increased by similar to 200% and CO2/N-2 ideal selectivity was increased by similar to 25%. These results confirm the success of the proposed technique to mitigate defective MOF/Matrimid (R) interfaces.

The formation mechanism of red phosphor KTFM has been discussed based on detailed experimental results. We studied the influences of synthetic procedure and KMnO4 concentration on the powder color and intensity of phosphor luminescence. The actual doping concentration of Mn4+ in the K2TiF6 (KTF) host lattice of the phosphor has been investigated by measuring the concentration of filtrate through ICP-AES analysis. The results showed that about 32.4 mol% of Mn elements was doped into KTF crystals at optimal Mn4+ concentration (in precursor solution). The presence of HF was found to be essential to doping Mn4+ into KTF due to the weakly acidic and complexing properties of HF. The red luminescence of Mn4+ in KTF with a crystal structure matching standard card JCPDs (#28-0825), was first observed in the sample prepared from HF solution concentrations lower than 5 wt%. The dependence of the intensity of the luminescence on HF concentration might be due to the varying of Mn4+ concentrations in KTF crystals. Higher HF concentration was associated with lower yield, because KTF is soluble in HF at high concentrations. Encapsulation of the red phosphor KTFM with YAG:Ce on a GaN layer produces "warm" white LEDs with color rendering of 86 at 3251 K.

The simulation results are in full accord with a previous experimental study of these (AN)(n)-LiX electrolytes. This computational study reveals how the structure of the anions strongly influences the ionic association tendency of the ions, the manner in which the aggregate solvates assemble in solution and the length of time in which the anions remain coordinated to the Li+ cations in the solvates which result in dramatic variations in the transport properties of the electrolytes.

A more detailed electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) study is conducted on the LMR-NMC electrode, which includes a range of states-of-charge (SOCs) for both current directions (i.e. charge and discharge) and two relaxation times (i.e. hours and one hundred hours) before the EIS sweep. The LMR-NMC electrode EIS studies are supported by half-cell constant current and galvanostatic intermittent titration technique (GITT) studies. Two types of electrochemical models are utilized to examine the results. The first type is a lithium ion cell electrochemical model for intercalation active material electrodes that includes a complex active material/electrolyte interfacial structure. The other is a lithium ion half-cell electrochemical model that focuses on the unique composite structure of the bulk LMR-NMC materials. (C) 2015 The Electrochemical Society. All rights reserved.

The effect of electrolyte additives, in particular vinylene carbonate (VC), is studied extensively for different lithium-ion chemistries and is shown to improve columbic efficiency of some electrodes. We investigate the effect of VC additive in a graphite/NMC333 (lithiumnickel-manganese-cobalt oxide) cell. The addition of VC improves the rate performance, especially, at moderately high rates. A new three-electrode cell design with Li reference electrode was particularly useful in studying the rate performance of each electrode. The rate of side reactions is found to decrease with the addition of VC. Despite these important performance improvements, no significant improvement in the capacity retention is observed. This suggests that the side reactions in graphite/NCM cells consist of two types, (1) repairing cracked solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) on the negative electrode (results in a net consumption of Li from the positive electrode), (2) reforming SEI components that dissolve from the negative electrode and are oxidized at the positive electrode. The VC appears to reduce the second type but have negligible effect on the first. This indicates that columbic efficiency measurements are not a reliable indicator of cell cycle life.

LiCoO2 electrodes were cycled at C/2 rate in half-cells (vs. lithium anodes) up to 20 cycles or C/5 rate in full cells (vs. MCMB anodes) up to 500 cycles. The electrodes were then subjected to entropy measurements (partial derivative E/partial derivative T, where E is open-circuit potential and T is temperature) in half-cells at regular intervals over the approximate range 0.5 <= x <= 1 in LixCoO2. Despite significant losses in capacity, the cycling did not result in any change to the overall shape of the entropy profile, indicating retention of the LiCoO2 structure, lithium insertion mechanism, and thermodynamics. This confirms that cycling-induced performance degradation in LiCoO2 electrodes is primarily caused by kinetic barriers that increase with cycling. Electrodes cycled at C/5 exhibited a subtle, quantitative, and gradual change in the entropy profile in the narrow potential range of the hexagonal-to-monoclinic phase transition. The observed change is indicative of a decrease in the intralayer lithium ordering that occurs at these potentials, and it demonstrates that a cycling-induced structural disorder accompanies the kinetic degradation mechanisms.

TI In Situ Transmission X-Ray Microscopy of the Lead Sulfate Film Formation on Lead in Sulfuric Acid SO JOURNAL OF THE ELECTROCHEMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID ACTIVE-PASSIVE TRANSITION; EC-AFM; NEGATIVE ELECTRODES; ANODIC OXIDATION; FORM PBSO4; BATTERIES; PB; MECHANISM; PERFORMANCE; DISSOLUTION AB Transmission X-ray microscopy is utilized to monitor, in real time, the behavior of the PbSO4 film that is formed on Pb in H2SO4. Images collected from the synchrotron x-rays are coupled with voltammetric data to study the initial formation, the resulting passivation, and the subsequent reduction of the film. It is concluded with support from quartz-crystal-microbalance experiments that the initial formation of PbSO4 crystals occurs as a result of acidic corrosion. In addition, the film is shown to coalesce during the early stages of galvanostatic oxidation and to passivate as a result of morphological changes in the existing film. Finally, it is observed that the passivation process results in the formation of large PbSO4 crystals with low area-to-volume ratios, which are difficult to reduce under both galvanostatic and potentiostatic conditions.

TI Aluminum and Gallium Substitution into 0.5Li(2)MnO3 center dot 0.5Li(Ni0.375Mn0.375Co0.25)O-2 Layered Composite and the Voltage Fade Effect SO JOURNAL OF THE ELECTROCHEMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES; X-RAY-DIFFRACTION; CATHODE MATERIALS; ELECTROCHEMICAL PERFORMANCE; LOCAL-STRUCTURE; SECONDARY BATTERIES; ELECTRON-MICROSCOPY; RECHARGEABLE CELLS; MANGANESE OXIDES; SPINEL PHASE AB Lithium- and manganese- rich layered composite cathodes in the general form (Li2MnO3 center dot LiMO2; M = transition metals), suffer from voltage profile suppression during cycling in Li- ion cells leading to overall gradual energy losses in the system. The suppression in cathode voltage which is called ` voltage fade' is a general phenomenon for these class of materials which needs to be understood and mitigated for enabling this chemistry in advanced Li- ion cells. Synthetic manipulation of the composition in 0.5Li(2)MnO(3)center dot 0.5LiNi(0.375)Mn(0.375)Co(0.25)O(2) (= Li1.2Ni0.15Mn0.55Co0.1O2 in layered notation) cathode material via aluminum and gallium substitution (max. 10%) via sol- gel reaction was completed and the voltage fade percentage was measured following a prescribed electrochemical testing protocol. While the specific capacities (similar to 250 mAh/g) are unaffected by the Al and Ga substitution (up to 5%), similar to 3 to 4% of the impedance- corrected average voltage is still lost (first 25 cycles) which is comparable to what the pristine material experiences. This result suggests that the path of structural change that occurs in the material during Li cycling is unaltered by synthetic manipulation of octahedral and/or tetrahedral sites though the use of Al and Ga non- redox active cations.

However, dendrite growth in lithium metal batteries, and a lack of fundamental understanding of the factors governing this growth, is a limiting factor preventing their adoption. Herein we present the effect of battery cycling temperature, ranging from 90 to 120 degrees C, on dendrite growth through a polystyrene-block-poly(ethylene oxide)-based electrolyte. This temperature range encompasses the glass transition temperature of polystyrene (107 degrees C). A slight increase in the cycling temperature of symmetric lithium-polymer-lithium cells from 90 to 105 degrees C results in a factor of five decrease in the amount of charge that can be passed before short circuit. Synchrotron hard X-ray microtomography experiments reveal a shift in dendrite location from primarily within the lithium electrode at 90 degrees C, to primarily within the electrolyte at 105 degrees C. Rheological measurements show a large change in mechanical properties over this temperature window. Time-temperature superposition was used to interpret the rheological data. Dendrite growth characteristics and cell lifetimes correlate with the temperature-dependent shift factors used for time-temperature superposition. Our work represents a step toward understanding the factors that govern lithium dendrite growth in viscoelastic electrolytes. (C) The Author(s) 2014. Published by ECS. All rights reserved.

While the formation of the solid electrolyte interphase and the subsequent loss of cyclable lithium have been well studied, mechanical degradation remains an area where ambiguity remains. While there appears to be little experimental evidence that suggest that macroscopic particle cracking occurs, mathematical models have suggested that this phenomenon is likely. The goal of this paper is to clarify this ambiguity by combining experimental cycling, mathematical stress modeling, and post-mortem microscopy. We experimentally determine an average diffusion coefficient of lithium in graphite using a thin-layer electrode and use this information in a diffusion-induced stress model. Our results suggest that cracking is not likely during lithiation due to the proximity of equilibrium potential to the cutoff potential. On delithiation, at 25 degrees C, even at 30 Crate cracking is unlikely while at -10 degrees C, a rate of 10 degrees C can lead to particle cracking. By extrapolating the results of the thin-layer electrode to a thick porous electrode, we found that graphite cracking is unlikely to occur during typical vehicle operations. (C) The Author(s) 2015.

In analogy to silver vanadium phosphorous oxides, this study involves copper vanadium phosphorous oxide. Under galvanostatic discharge in lithium anode cells, the Cu0.5VOPO4 center dot 2H(2)O (CuVPO) material delivered similar to 280 mAh/g to 1.5 V. Unlike silver vanadium phosphorous oxides, crystallographic evaluation indicated little structural change upon electrochemical reduction of CuVPO, with no significant change in interlayer spacing and no evidence of copper metal formation. Notably, secondary battery evaluation showed retention of similar to 100 mAh/g at C/20 with little fade, a significant improvement under repeated cycling relative to a related silver based material.

The SEI formation on the Si(100) single crystal electrode was investigated as a function of the electrolyte composition, electrode potential and LixSi lithiation degree. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray photon spectroscopy (XPS) studies of the SEI layer during early stages of SEI formation indicate a strong dependence of the SEI composition on the electrolyte composition. However, the influence of the electrolyte composition becomes negligible at low potentials, when lithium alloys with Si and forms amorphous LixSi. The effect of vinylene carbonate (VC) and fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) electrolyte additives on the composition of the SEI layer was evaluated. (C) The Author(s) 2015. Published by ECS.

However, it is still not conclusively known how polysulfide ring/chain participates in the whole cycling and whether the discharge and charge processes follow the same pathway. Herein, we demonstrate the direct observation of sulfur radicals by using in situ electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) technique. Based on the concentration changes of sulfur radicals at different potentials and the electrochemical characteristics of the cell, it is revealed that the chemical and electrochemical reactions in Li-S cell are driving each other to proceed through sulfur radicals, leading to two completely different reaction pathways during discharge and charge. The proposed radical mechanism may provide new perspectives to investigate the interactions between sulfur species and the electrolyte, inspiring novel strategies to develop Li-S battery technology.

TI Film Breakdown and Nano-Porous Mg(OH)(2) Formation from Corrosion of Magnesium Alloys in Salt Solutions SO JOURNAL OF THE ELECTROCHEMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID SMALL-ANGLE SCATTERING; VIBRATING ELECTRODE TECHNIQUE; ENHANCED CATALYTIC-ACTIVITY; PURE MAGNESIUM; MG ALLOY; LOCALIZED CORROSION; AUTOMOTIVE APPLICATIONS; ANODIC-DISSOLUTION; SULFATE-SOLUTIONS; HYDROGEN STORAGE AB Small angle neutron scattering (SANS) and scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) were used to study film formation by magnesium alloys AZ31B (Mg-3Al-1Zn base) and ZE10A (Elektron 717, E717: Mg-1Zn + Nd, Zr) in H2O and D2O with and without 1 or 5 wt% NaCl. No SANS scattering changes were observed after 24 h D2O or H2O exposures compared with as-received (unreacted) alloy, consistent with relatively dense MgO-base film formation. However, exposure to 5 wt% NaCl resulted in accelerated corrosion, with resultant SANS scattering changes detected. The SANS data indicated both particle and rough surface (internal and external) scattering, but with no preferential size features. The films formed in 5 wt% NaCl consisted of a thin, inner MgO-base layer, and a nano-porous and filamentous Mg(OH)(2) outer region tens of microns thick. Chlorine was detected extending to the inner MgO-base film region, with segregation of select alloying elements also observed in the inner MgO, but not the outer Mg(OH)(2). Modeling of the SANS data suggested that the outer Mg(OH)(2) films had very high surface areas, consistent with loss of film protectiveness. Implications for the NaCl corrosion mechanism, and the potential utility of SANS for Mg corrosion, are discussed. (C) The Author(s) 2015. Published by ECS.

TI The Contamination Mechanism and Behavior of Amide Bond Containing Organic Contaminant on PEMFC SO JOURNAL OF THE ELECTROCHEMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID OXYGEN REDUCTION KINETICS; POLYMER ELECTROLYTE MEMBRANES; FUEL-CELL PERFORMANCE; PERFLUORINATED IONOMER; IMPURITY CATIONS; NAFION(R) MEMBRANES; WATER-UPTAKE; CONDUCTIVITY; TRANSPORT; PLATINUM AB This paper presents a study of the effects of an organic contaminant containing an amide bond (-CONH-), epsilon-caprolactam, on polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). The epsilon-caprolactam has been detected in leachates from polyphthalamide materials that are being considered for use as balance-of-plant structural materials for PEMFCs. Contamination effects from epsilon-caprolactam in Nafion membranes are shown to be controlled by temperature. A possible explanation of the temperature effect is the endothermic ring-opening reaction of the amide bond (-NHCO-) of the cyclic epsilon-caprolactam. UV-vis and ATR-IR spectroscopy studies confirmed the presence of open ring structure of epsilon-caprolactam in membranes. The ECSA and kinetic current for the ORR of the Pt/C catalyst were also investigated and were observed to decrease upon contamination by the epsilon-caprolactam. By comparison of the CVs of ammonia and acetic acid, we confirmed the adsorption of carboxylic acid (-COOH) or carboxylate anion (-COO-) onto the surface of the Pt. Finally, a comparison of in situ voltage losses at 80 degrees C and 50 degrees C also revealed temperature effects, especially in the membrane, as a result of the dramatic increase in the HFR.

TI Hydroxide based Benzyltrimethylammonium Degradation: Quantification of Rates and Degradation Technique Development SO JOURNAL OF THE ELECTROCHEMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID ANION-EXCHANGE MEMBRANES; FUEL-CELLS; IMIDAZOLIUM CATIONS; ALKALINE STABILITY; HEAD-GROUPS; PATHWAYS AB Anion exchange membranes (AEMs) are of interest as hydroxide conducting polymer electrolytes in electrochemical devices like fuel cells and electrolyzers. AEMs require hydroxide stable covalently tetherable cations to ensure required conductivity. Benzyltrimethylammonium (BTMA) has been the covalently tetherable cation that has been most often employed in anion exchange membranes because it is reasonably basic, compact (limited number of atoms per charge), and easily/cheaply synthesized. Several reports exist that have investigated hydroxide stability of BTMA under specific conditions, but consistency within these reports and comparisons between them have not yet been made. While the hydroxide stability of BTMA has been believed to be a limitation for AEMs, this stability has not been thoroughly reported. We have found that several methods reported have inherent flaws in their findings due to the difficulty of performing degradation experiments at high temperature and high pH. In order to address these shortcomings, we have developed a reliable, standardized method of determining cation degradation under conditions similar/relevant to those expected in electrochemical devices. The experimental method has been employed to determine BTMA stabilities at varying cation concentrations and elevated temperatures, and has resulted in improved experimental accuracy and reproducibility. Most notably, these results have shown that BTMA is quite stable at 80 degrees C (half-life of similar to 4 years), a significant increase in stability over what had been reported previously.

Direct observation of the in-situ dynamic response of such components during particle beam exposure assists in fundamental understanding of the physical phenomena that give rise to their irradiation resistance. We investigated the response of ultrafine and nanocrystalline-grained tungsten to 3 MeV heavy ion irradiations (Si2+, Cu3+ and W4+) for the simulation of neutron-induced damage through transmutation reactions via insitu ion irradiation-transmission electron microscopy experiments. Defect densities as a function of irradiation dose (displacement per atom) and fluence were studied. Four stages of defect densities evolution were observed, as a function of irradiation dose: I) increase in defect density at lower doses, 2) higher defect production rate at the intermediate doses (before saturation), 3) reaching the maximum value, and 4) drop of the defect density in the case of W4+, possibly due to defect coalescence and grain boundary absorption of small defect clusters. The effect of grain size on defect densities was investigated and found that defect densities were independent of grain size in the ultrafine and nanocrystalline region (60-400 nm). These results were compared to other heavy ion irradiation studies of structural materials. Published by Elsevier Inc. C1 [El-Atwani, O.; Suslova, A.; Novakowski, T. J.; Harilal, S.

It provides key information on the structural dynamics of a material during transformations and the ability to correlate a material's structure and properties. With the recent advances in instrumentation, including aberration-corrected optics, sample environment control, the sample stage, and fast and sensitive data acquisition, in situ TEM characterization has become more powerful. In this article, a brief review of the current status and future opportunities of in situ TEM is provided. The article also introduces the six articles in this issue of MRS Bulletin exploring the frontiers of in situ electron microscopy, including liquid and gas environmental TEM, dynamic four-dimensional TEM, studies on nanomechanics and ferroelectric domain switching, and state-of-the-art atomic imaging of light elements (i.e., carbon atoms) and individual defects.

However, direct visualization of dynamic processes in liquids, especially with high spatial and temporal resolution, has been challenging. For solid materials, advances in aberration-corrected electron microscopy have made observations of atomic-level features a routine practice. Here, we discuss the extent to which one can take advantage of the resolution of modern electron microscopes to image phenomena occurring in liquids. We describe the fundamentals of two different experimental approaches that use closed and open liquid cells. We illustrate the capabilities of each approach by considering processes in batteries and nucleation and growth of nanoparticles from solution. Liquid-cell electron microscopy appears to be duly fulfilling its role and promise for in situ studies of nanoscale processes in liquids, revealing physical and chemical processes that are otherwise difficult to observe.

Geckeis, Horst TI Interaction of Nd(III) and Cm(III) with borate in dilute to concentrated alkaline NaCl, MgCl2 and CaCl2 solutions: solubility and TRLFS studies SO NEW JOURNAL OF CHEMISTRY LA English DT Article ID LASER FLUORESCENCE SPECTROSCOPY; THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES; BORIC-ACID; POLYBORATE EQUILIBRIA; AQUEOUS-SOLUTIONS; MAGNESIUM URANOBORATE; TRIVALENT ACTINIDES; B-11 NMR; HYDROLYSIS; COMPLEXATION AB The interaction of lanthanides and trivalent actinides with borate in dilute to concentrated alkaline NaCl, MgCl2 and CaCl2 solutions was investigated at 22 +/- 2 degrees C by a comprehensive series of solubility experiments with Nd(OH)(3)(am), and complemented with Cm(III)-TRLFS studies (TRLFS: time resolved laser fluorescence spectroscopy) under analogous pH and ionic strength conditions. Although there was clear evidence of borate complexation in the pH range of 8.5 to 10, overall no significant increase in Nd(III) solubility occurred in any of the investigated salt systems in the presence of [B](tot) <= 0.4 M, compared with analogous borate-free solutions. On the contrary, a significant decrease in Nd(III) concentration was observed at pH(c) <= 9 in NaCl and MgCl2 systems with [B](tot) >= 0.16 M (diluted salt systems) or [B](tot) >= 0.04 M (concentrated salt systems). This observation, together with a clear change in the slope of the solubility curve and the further confirmation by XPS analyses, indicates the transformation of Nd(OH) 3(am) into a so far unknown Nd(III)-borate solid phase with significantly lower solubility. Similar Nd(III) concentrations in the aqueous phase are obtained in undersaturation solubility experiments conducted with a synthesized crystalline phase Nd[B9O13(OH)(4)](cr). TRLFS confirmed the formation of aqueous Cm(III)-borate complexes in dilute to concentrated NaCl and MgCl2 systems at pH(c) = 8 and [B](tot) >= 0.04 M. Two different Cm(III)-borate species are proposed based on the peak shift of the spectra, although the resulting fluorescence emission bands do not allow the definition of an unequivocal chemical model for this system. TRLFS also shows that no Cm(III)-borate complexes form under hyperalkaline conditions (pH(c) = 12), due to the stronger competition posed by hydrolysis and the predominance of weakly coordinating B(OH)(4)(-) in the aqueous phase. These results show the impact of An(III)-borate interactions on An(III) speciation and highlight the hitherto unknown role of borate in the immobilization of trivalent actinides under repository-relevant conditions due to the formation of borate-bearing solid phases with significantly lower solubility than the corresponding hydroxides.

The morphology, crystallinity, and chemical composition of the obtained materials were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Raman spectroscopy, and N-2-adsorption measurements. XRD and Raman spectroscopy analyses confirmed the formation of solid solutions with cubic fluorite structure. The catalytic activities of the Ce0.5M0.5O2 (M = Ti, Zr, Hf) nanoparticles were investigated in the low-temperature oxidation of CO. Ce0.5Zr0.5O2 nanospheres exhibit the best performance (100% conversion at 350 degrees C), followed by Ce0.5Hf0.5O2 (55% conversion at 360 degrees C) and Ce0.5Ti0.5O2 (11% conversion at 350 degrees C). Heating the as-prepared Ce0.5Zr0.5O2 to 600 degrees C for extended time leads to a decrease in surface area and, as expected decreased catalytic activity. Depending on the ionic liquid the obtained Ce0.5Zr0.5O2 exhibits different morphologies, varying from nano-spheres in [C(4)mim][Tf2N] and [P-66614][Tf2N] (P66614 = trishexyltetradecyl-phosphonium) to sheet-like assemblies in [C(3)mimOH][Tf2N] (C(3)mimOH = 1-(3-hydroxypropyl)-3-methylimidazolium). The microwave synthesis superiority to other heating methods like sonochemical synthesis and conventional heating was proven by comparative experiments where the catalytic activity of Ce0.5Zr0.5O2 obtained by alternate methods such as conventional heating was found to be poorer than that of the microwave-synthesised material.

Until recently, Fortran programmers interested in mining the benefits of OOP had to emulate OOP in Fortran 90/95. The advent of widespread compiler support for Fortran 2003 now facilitates explicitly constructing object-oriented class hierarchies via inheritance and leveraging related class behaviors such as dynamic polymorphism. Although C++ allows a class to inherit from multiple parent classes, Fortran and several other OOP languages restrict or prohibit explicit multiple inheritance relationships in order to circumvent several pitfalls associated with them. Nonetheless, what appears as an intrinsic feature in one language can be modeled as a user-constructed design pattern in another language. The present paper demonstrates how to apply the facade structural design pattern to support a multiple inheritance class relationship in Fortran 2003. The design unleashes the power of the associated class relationships for modeling complicated data structures yet avoids the ambiguities that plague some multiple inheritance scenarios.

TI Synchrotron-Based Imaging of Chromium and gamma-H2AX Immunostaining in the Duodenum Following Repeated Exposure to Cr(VI) in Drinking Water SO TOXICOLOGICAL SCIENCES LA English DT Article DE hexavalent chromium; Cr(VI); synchrotron; duodenum; carcinogenesis; mode of action; H2AX ID HEXAVALENT CHROMIUM; STEM-CELLS; B6C3F1 MICE; PHARMACOKINETIC MODEL; CANCER; HUMANS; RATS; CARCINOGENESIS; RELEVANCE; TOXICITY AB Current drinking water standards for chromium are for the combined total of both hexavalent and trivalent chromium (Cr(VI) and Cr(III)). However, recent studies have shown that Cr(III) is not carcinogenic to rodents, whereas mice chronically exposed to high levels of Cr(VI) developed duodenal tumors. These findings may suggest the need for environmental standards specific for Cr(VI). Whether the intestinal tumors arose through a mutagenic or non-mutagenic mode of action (MOA) greatly impacts how drinking water standards for Cr(VI) are derived. Herein, X-ray fluorescence (spectro)microscopy (A mu-XRF) was used to image the Cr content in the villus and crypt regions of duodena from B6C3F1 mice exposed to 180 mg/l Cr(VI) in drinking water for 13 weeks. DNA damage was also assessed by gamma-H2AX immunostaining. Exposure to Cr(VI) induced villus blunting and crypt hyperplasia in the duodenum-the latter evidenced by lengthening of the crypt compartment by similar to 2-fold with a concomitant 1.5-fold increase in the number of crypt enterocytes. gamma-H2AX immunostaining was elevated in villi, but not in the crypt compartment. A mu-XRF maps revealed mean Cr levels > 30 times higher in duodenal villi than crypt regions; mean Cr levels in crypt regions were only slightly above background signal. Despite the presence of Cr and elevated gamma-H2AX immunoreactivity in villi, no aberrant foci indicative of transformation were evident. These findings do not support a MOA for intestinal carcinogenesis involving direct Cr-DNA interaction in intestinal stem cells, but rather support a non-mutagenic MOA involving chronic wounding of intestinal villi and crypt cell hyperplasia.

TI UV-visible spectroscopy of macrocyclic alkyl, nitrosyl and halide complexes of cobalt and rhodium. Experiment and calculation SO DALTON TRANSACTIONS LA English DT Article ID CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE; MODEL AB Transition metal complexes (NH3)(5)CoX2+ (X = CH3, Cl) and L(H2O)MX2+, where M = Rh or Co, X = CH3, NO, or Cl, and L is a macrocyclic N-4 ligand are examined by both experiment and computation to better understand their electronic spectra and associated photochemistry. Specifically, irradiation into weak visible bands of nitrosyl and alkyl complexes (NH3)(5)CoCH32+ and L(H2O)(MX2+)-X-III (X = CH3 or NO) leads to photohomolysis that generates the divalent metal complex and (CH3)-C-center dot or (NO)-N-center dot, respectively. On the other hand, when X = halide or NO2, visible light photolysis leads to dissociation of X-and/or cis/trans isomerization. Computations show that visible bands for alkyl and nitrosyl complexes involve transitions from M-X bonding orbitals and/or metal d orbitals to M-X antibonding orbitals. In contrast, complexes with X = Cl or NO2 exhibit only d-d bands in the visible, so that homolytic cleavage of the M-X bond requires UV photolysis. UV-Vis spectra are not significantly dependent on the structure of the equatorial ligands, as shown by similar spectral features for (NH3)(5)CoCH32+ and L-1(H2O)CoCH32+.

Due to the highly heterogeneous nano- and microstructure of the plant cell walls, there is a lack of understanding with regard to interactions between biomass recalcitrance and biomass pretreatment. Progress has been made by comparing the changes in chemical compositions and physical structures during the pretreatment processes and their correlations with the enzymatic hydrolysis of pretreated biomass. Recent studies suggest the necessity of investigating the impact of biomass pretreatment on plant cell walls using analytical tools spanning multiple length scales. Scattering techniques including X-ray and neutron scattering, complementary to imaging techniques, offer several advantages like minimal sample preparation, versatile sample environment and in situ dynamic investigation of cell wall structures. The combination of wide and small angle scattering (WAS and SAS) techniques covers length scales from a few angstroms to several hundred nanometres. In this review article, a detailed overview of the application of WAS and SAS techniques to study the supramolecular structures of cellulose and lignin, the examination of the presence of pores in plant cell walls as well as in the cellulose fibres are presented. In situ enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose investigated by SAS, providing important insight into enzyme- biomass interactions, is also summarized. This review highlights how probing structural changes during pretreatment of biomass samples by WAS and SAS can reveal valuable information that is often not accessible by other techniques.

Herein, we demonstrate a new concept that a metal-organic framework (MOF) can be used as a novel precursor to in situ encapsulate Co@Co3O4@C core@bishell nanoparticles (NPs) into a highly ordered porous carbon matrix (CM) (denoted as Co@Co3O4@C-CM). The central cobalt ions from the MOF are used as a metal source to produce Co metal cores, which are later transformed into a fancy Co@Co3O4 nanostructure via a controlled oxidation. The most notable feature of our Co@Co3O4@C-CM is that the highly ordered CM can provide much better transport pathways than the disordered pure MOF derived nanostructure that can facilitate the mass transport of O-2 and an electrolyte. As a result, the well-designed Co@Co3O4@C-CM derived from the MOF shows almost identical activity but superior stability and methanol tolerance for the ORR relative to the commercial Pt/C in alkaline medium. Our work reports a novel Co@Co3O4@C nanostructure from a MOF for the first time and also reveals the important role of the introduction of a highly ordered carbon matrix into the MOF derived catalyst in enhancing the ORR activity and stability. To the best of our knowledge, the Co@Co3O4@C-CM is the most efficient non-noble metal nanocatalyst ever reported for the ORR.

TI Stability of inverted organic solar cells with ZnO contact layers deposited from precursor solutions SO ENERGY & ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID ZINC ACETATE DIHYDRATE; THERMAL-DECOMPOSITION; POLYMER; FILMS; DEVICES AB We report on investigations of the stability of inverted organic solar cells with ZnO electron collecting interlayer that are solution-processed from zinc acetate (ZnAc) or diethylzinc (deZn) precursors. Characterization of the respective solar cells suggests that the two materials initially function similarly in devices, however, we find that devices with ZnO from the deZn precursor are more stable under long-term illumination and load than devices with ZnO from the ZnAc precursor. A dipolar phosphonic acid that reduces the ZnO work function also improved device performance and stability when compared with unmodified ZnAc-based ZnO, but was problematic for deZn-based ZnO. The long-term device degradation analyses shows that the improved devices had increased and significantly more stable open-circuit voltage and fill factor characteristics. Chemical analyses suggests that defects in the ZnO films, most likely interstitial zinc, may be responsible for the observed disparities in stability within organic solar cells.

TI Adipic acid production from lignin SO ENERGY & ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID GLOBAL REGULATOR CONTROLS; PSEUDOMONAS-PUTIDA; CIS,CIS-MUCONIC ACID; CATABOLIC PATHWAYS; ACTIVATED CARBON; SUCCINIC ACID; FERMENTATION BROTHS; MICROBIAL SYNTHESIS; AROMATIC-COMPOUNDS; BETA-KETOADIPATE AB Lignin is an alkyl-aromatic polymer present in plant cell walls for defense, structure, and water transport. Despite exhibiting a high-energy content, lignin is typically slated for combustion in modern biorefineries due to its inherent heterogeneity and recalcitrance, whereas cellulose and hemicellulose are converted to renewable fuels and chemicals. However, it is critical for the viability of third-generation biorefineries to valorize lignin alongside polysaccharides. To that end, we employ metabolic engineering, separations, and catalysis to convert lignin-derived species into cis, cis-muconic acid, for subsequent hydrogenation to adipic acid, the latter being the most widely produced dicarboxylic acid. First, Pseudomonas putida KT2440 was metabolically engineered to funnel lignin-derived aromatics to cis, cis-muconate, which is an atom-efficient biochemical transformation. This engineered strain was employed in fed-batch biological cultivation to demonstrate a cis, cis-muconate titer of 13.5 g L-1 in 78.5 h from a model lignin-derived compound. cis, cis-Muconic acid was recovered in high purity (>97%) and yield (74%) by activated carbon treatment and crystallization (5 degrees C, pH 2). Pd/C was identified as a highly active catalyst for cis, cis-muconic acid hydrogenation to adipic acid with high conversion (>97%) and selectivity (>97%). Under surface reaction controlling conditions (24 degrees C, 24 bar, ethanol solvent), purified cis, cis-muconic acid exhibits a turnover frequency of 23-30 s(-1) over Pd/C, with an apparent activation energy of 70 kJ mol(-1). Lastly, cis, cis-muconate was produced with engineered P. putida grown on a biomass-derived, lignin-enriched stream, demonstrating an integrated strategy towards lignin valorization to an important commodity chemical.

TI Robust Decision Making Applied to the NASA Multidisciplinary Uncertainty Quantification Challenge Problem SO JOURNAL OF AEROSPACE INFORMATION SYSTEMS LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 16th American-Institute-of-Aeronautics-and-Astronautics Non-Deterministic Approaches Conference CY JAN 13-17, 2014 CL Gaylord Natl, National Harbor, MD HO Gaylord Natl ID OUTPUT AB This paper addresses the NASA Langley Research Center's Multidisciplinary Uncertainty Quantification Challenge problem, which is intended to pose challenges to the uncertainty quantification and robust design communities. The goals of the Multidisciplinary Uncertainty Quantification Challenge problem can be formulated into four main topics that are commonly encountered in the model development process: calibration, sensitivity analysis, extreme-case analysis, and robust design. The analysis presented herein places a particular emphasis on the use of info-gap decision theory to address the goals of the Multidisciplinary Uncertainty Quantification Challenge problem. Info-gap decision theory provides a convenient framework to quantify the effect of uncertainty, herein referred to as robustness, when using simulation models for decision making. Robustness, as defined in the context of info-gap decision theory, is used to pursue calibration, uncertainty propagation, and robust design. Calibration is performed using info-gap decision theory to address the situation whereby deterministic calibration might result in nonunique solutions, meaning that different sets of calibration variables are able to replicate experiments with comparable fidelity. Extreme-case analysis is performed such that the worst-case and best-case performances of the model output are conditioned on the level of uncertainty that is permitted in the simulations. To pursue robust design, the robustness criterion is used to establish whether the amount of uncertainty tolerable in the optimized design is an improvement over the baseline design. Our analysis demonstrates that improving the robustness of the model requires different knowledge than improving the performance of the model. The main conclusion is that the info-gap decision theory provides a sound theoretical basis, and practical implementation, to meet the goals of the NASA Multidisciplinary Uncertainty Quantification Challenge problem without formulating simplifying assumptions.

All epistemic variables are replaced with random variables, and an equivalent effective uncertainty model with no epistemic component is identified. A Bayesian approach for parameter inference and an update that is applied directly on the probability densities of the various uncertainty variables are pursued, and sampling techniques for uncertainty propagation are used.

Both new products have been isolated and the molecular structures established by X-ray diffraction analyses. The dihydroxyl-bridged cluster 1,2-Os-3(CO)(8)(A mu-OH)(2)(cis-dpmn) (4), which accompanied the formation of 3 in one reaction, has been isolated and characterized by mass spectrometry and X-ray crystallography. Whereas cluster 2 is stable in toluene at 373 K, 3 is thermally sensitive under identical conditions and undergoes loss of CO (2 equiv), coupled with the activation of three norbornene C-H bonds and one P-C(phenyl) bond, to furnish the dihydride cluster H2Os3(CO)(8)[A mu(3)-2-PhPC-3-endo-Ph2PCH2(C7H7)] (5). The solid-state structure of 5 confirms the multiple activation of the cis-dpmn ligand and accompanying formation of the face-capping 2-PhPC-3-endo-Ph2PCH2(C7H7) moiety in the product. DFT calculations on 2 and 3 indicate that the former cluster is the thermodynamically more stable isomer, and the conversion of 3 -> 5 + 2CO + benzene is computed to be exergonic by 12.7 kcal/mol and is entropically favored due to the release of the CO and benzene by-products.

Zero-field spectra were taken showing resolved scalar spin-spin coupling (J-coupling) for ethylene glycol at different temperatures and water contents. Molecular dynamics strongly affects the resonance linewidth, which closely follows viscosity. Quantum chemical calculations have been used to obtain the relative stability and coupling constants of all ethylene glycol conformers. The results show the potential of zero-field NMR as a probe of molecular structure and dynamics in a wide range of environments, including viscous fluids. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Five approaches were investigated: optimization of the amount of sulfur that can be contained in the sulfur/carbon electrodes, introduction of different forms of carbon additives into the sulfur electrodes, impregnation of sulfur into the pores of high-surface-area carbon via a melting process, addition of high-surface-area TiO2 as a polysulfide-adsorbing agent in the sulfur electrodes, and use of lithium nitrate as an additive in the electrolyte. Among all these approaches, the most effective way to inhibit the shuttle phenomenon and improve the coulombic efficiency of the Li-S battery was the addition of LiNO3 into the electrolyte.

TI Thermodynamic complexity of carbon capture in alkylamine-functionalized metal-organic frameworks SO JOURNAL OF MATERIALS CHEMISTRY A LA English DT Article ID DIOXIDE CAPTURE; CO2 CAPTURE; FLUE-GAS; ADSORPTION; ADSORBENTS; ENTHALPY; ENERGY; OXIDES; AIR AB For coordinatively unsaturated metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), the metal centers can be functionalized as CO2 capture/storage adsorbents by grafting species having specific active groups. We report direct measurement of enthalpy of adsorption of CO2 on an alkylamine-appended MOF, mmen-Mg-2(dobpdc) employing gas adsorption calorimetry at 298, 323 and 348 K. This methodology provides, for the first time, the detailed dependence of energy and entropy of sorption as a function of coverage and temperature. The enthalpy data suggest three types of adsorption events: strongest exothermic initial chemisorption at low coverage, majority moderate chemisorption at intermediate loading and weakest physisorption at highest coverage. The partial molar properties and isotherms are consistent with the presence of two different potential chemisorption mechanisms: 2 : 1 (amine-CO2) stoichiometry near zero coverage and 1 : 1 afterwards. Both chemical potential and differential enthalpy of adsorption become less negative with increasing temperature, implying increasing adsorbent entropy at elevated temperature. These observations are consistent with weaker CO2 binding at higher temperature. C1 [Wu, D.; Ushakov, S. V.; Navrotsky, A.] Univ Calif Davis, Peter A Rock Thermochem Lab, Davis, CA 95616 USA.

Iron metal centers can be electrochemically activated. The Fe3+/Fe2+ redox couple is electrochemically active, but not reversible over many cycles. A comparison between ex situ and in operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) on the Fe K-edge is presented. Our results indicate that the capacity fade is related to a time dependent, irreversible oxidation of Fe2+ to Fe3+. These results are key in proving the importance of in operando XAS measurements. The MOF side reaction with an electrolyte has been computationally modeled. These results provide further insights on the mechanism responsible for the MOF lack of reversibility. Future guidelines for improving the reversibility of MOFs used as electrodes in Li-ion batteries based on the fine-tuning of the electronic structure of the material are proposed.

In this work, the semiconducting properties of tin nitride are explored by thin-film experiments and first-principles theory to evaluate the prospects of this material for optoelectronic applications. Calculations of related group IV nitride polymorphs provide additional insight into the properties and challenges associated with this class of semiconductors. Experimentally, in Sn3N4 polycrystalline thin films the electron concentration was found to be 10(18) cm(-3) with Hall mobility of similar to 1 cm(2) V-1 s(-1) and a minority carrier (holes) diffusion length of 50-100 nm. The optical absorption onset was determined at 1.6 eV and an ionization potential was measured at 5.9-6.0 eV. From theory, a direct band gap of 1.54 eV was determined with weak dipole-forbidden lowest energy transitions and the ionization potential was determined to be 6.5 eV, both in reasonable agreement with the experiments. Calculations also predict an exceptionally small electron effective mass (0.18 m(0)) and a large hole effective mass (12.9 m(0)), which may be in part responsible for the short hole diffusion length. To elucidate the origin of the heavy holes in Sn3N4, elemental and crystallographic trends in electronic structure and thermochemical properties are calculated in the IV3N4 polymorphs. It was found that hole effective masses generally increase down the period and are structure-dependent, while electron effective masses decrease down the period and show no strong structural trends. These results suggest that changing composition in the group-IV nitride alloys will have a large impact on the fundamental semiconductor properties such as carrier effective masses, and provide other insight into the materials chemistry of Sn3N4 and the IV3N4 family.

TI Parallelizing Gaussian Process Calculations in R SO JOURNAL OF STATISTICAL SOFTWARE LA English DT Article DE distributed computation; kriging; linear algebra ID LARGE SPATIAL DATASETS; COMPUTER-MODELS; LINEAR ALGEBRA; DATA SETS; SYSTEMS AB We consider parallel computation for Gaussian process calculations to overcome computational and memory constraints on the size of datasets that can be analyzed. Using a hybrid parallelization approach that uses both threading (shared memory) and message-passing (distributed memory), we implement the core linear algebra operations used in spatial statistics and Gaussian process regression in an R package called bigGP that relies on C and MPI. The approach divides the covariance matrix into blocks such that the computational load is balanced across processes while communication between processes is limited. The package provides an API enabling R programmers to implement Gaussian process-based methods by using the distributed linear algebra operations without any C or MPI coding. We illustrate the approach and software by analyzing an astrophysics dataset with n = 67; 275 observations.

TI Novel silica surface charge density mediated control of the optical properties of embedded optically active materials and its application for fiber optic pH sensing at elevated temperatures SO NANOSCALE LA English DT Article ID INTRACELLULAR PH; CHEMICAL SENSORS; CARBON NANODOTS; GOLD NANORODS; QUANTUM DOTS; NANOPARTICLES; NANOSTRUCTURES; AGGREGATION; PARTICLES; GLASS AB Silica and silica incorporated nanocomposite materials have been extensively studied for a wide range of applications. Here we demonstrate an intriguing optical effect of silica that, depending on the solution pH, amplifies or attenuates the optical absorption of a variety of embedded optically active materials with very distinct properties, such as plasmonic Au nanoparticles, non-plasmonic Pt nanoparticles, and the organic dye rhodamine B (not a pH indicator), coated on an optical fiber. Interestingly, the observed optical response to varying pH appears to follow the surface charge density of the silica matrix for all the three different optically active materials. To the best of our knowledge, this optical effect has not been previously reported and it appears universal in that it is likely that any optically active material can be incorporated into the silica matrix to respond to solution pH or surface charge density variations. A direct application of this effect is for optical pH sensing which has very attractive features that can enable minimally invasive, remote, real time and continuous distributed pH monitoring. Particularly, as demonstrated here, using highly stable metal nanoparticles embedded in an inorganic silica matrix can significantly improve the capability of pH sensing in extremely harsh environments which is of increasing importance for applications in unconventional oil and gas resource recovery, carbon sequestration, water quality monitoring, etc. Our approach opens a pathway towards possible future development of robust optical pH sensors for the most demanding environmental conditions. The newly discovered optical effect of silica also offers the potential for control of the optical properties of optically active materials for a range of other potential applications such as electrochromic devices.

A combination of small angle neutron scattering (SANS) and neutron spin echo (NSE) experiments have been applied to study microemulsions. These, consisting of D2O, d-decane and the surfactant C10E4, were used in connection with Laponite (small) and Nanofil (large) clay. To our knowledge our experiments show for the first time that the clay platelets induce lamellar ordering adjacent to the clay discs in the otherwise bicontinuous microemulsion. This is due to the fact that in purely structural investigations, radial averaging smears out the signature of the lamellar phase. For thermodynamically fluctuating membranes near interfaces the theory of Seifert predicts a cross-over of the dispersion relationship from k(2) to a k(3)-dependence. With the correlation length of the membrane patches being confined by the dimension of the clay platelets we were able to show that this in fact takes place but is only present for the larger Nanofil particles.

In this work, we report a controllable route for monolayer WS2 synthesis. The high-quality of as-grown monolayer WS2 was confirmed by optical microscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), high resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy (HRSTEM), Raman spectroscopy, and photoluminescence (PL). The impact of growth parameters (including gas flow rate and reaction temperature) on the morphology of the WS2 domain was investigated. A growth mechanism is proposed based on the experimental analysis. Our results also provide some general guidelines for other two dimensional (2D) monolayer syntheses of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD).

TI Triazolium based ionic liquid crystals: effect of asymmetric substitution SO RSC ADVANCES LA English DT Article ID PHOSPHONIUM SALTS; THERMAL-BEHAVIOR; SOLVENTS; NANOPARTICLES; LUMINESCENT; SYSTEMS; ROUTE; SHAPE AB A new series of ten different asymmetrical 1-dodecyl-3-alkyl-triazolium bromides, [C12CnTr][Br], has been synthesized and their mesomorphic behavior studied by DSC (differential scanning calorimetry), POM (polarizing optical microscopy) and SAXS (small angle X-ray scattering). The influence of the chain length of the triazolium salts is investigated to explore the effect of asymmetric substitution on the phase behaviour of these compounds. For that reason, the length of one alkyl chain was varied from 14 to 1 carbon atoms (n = 14, 12, 10, 8-4, 2, 1) while the other alkyl chain was kept at 12 carbon. Single crystal X-ray structure analysis of compounds [C12C12Tr][Br] and [C12C5Tr][Br] reveal that the cations adopt a U-shaped conformation with head-to-head arranged triazolium cores. In contrast, for [C12C1Tr][Br], a rod like shape of the cation with interdigitated alkyl chains is found. All investigated compounds are thermotropic liquid crystals. Higher ordered smectic phases, smectic C as well as smectic A phases were found depending on the chain length of the cation. Overall the clearing point temperature decreases with decreasing chain length with exception for the n-dodecyl-3-alkyltrizoliumbromides with the two shortest alkyl chains, [C12C2Tr][Br] and [C12C1Tr][Br], which present higher clearing temperatures (86 and 156 degrees C) and are structurally distinctly different.

TI A molecular view of the role of chirality in charge-driven polypeptide complexation SO SOFT MATTER LA English DT Article ID SECONDARY STRUCTURE; REPLICA EXCHANGE; FORCE-FIELD; MONTE-CARLO; COACERVATION; SIMULATIONS; SYSTEMS; DYNAMICS; MODEL; POLYSACCHARIDES AB Polyelectrolyte molecules of opposite charge are known to form stable complexes in solution. Depending on the system conditions, such complexes can be solid or liquid. The latter are known as complex coacervates, and they appear as a second liquid phase in equilibrium with a polymer-dilute aqueous phase. This work considers the complexation between poly(glutamic acid) and poly(lysine), which is of particular interest because it enables examination of the role of chirality in ionic complexation, without changes to the overall chemical composition. Systematic atomic-level simulations are carried out for chains of poly(glutamic acid) and poly(lysine) with varying combinations of chirality along the backbone. Achiral chains form unstructured complexes. In contrast, homochiral chains lead to formation of stable beta-sheets between molecules of opposite charge, and experiments indicate that beta-sheet formation is correlated with the formation of solid precipitates. Changes in chirality along the peptide backbone are found to cause "kinks" in the beta-sheets. These are energetically unfavorable and result in irregular structures that are more difficult to pack together. Taken together, these results provide new insights that may be of use for the development of simple yet strong bioinspired materials consisting of beta-rich domains and amorphous regions.

TI Three dimensional subsurface elemental identification of minerals using confocal micro-X-ray fluorescence and micro-X-ray computed tomography SO SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA PART B-ATOMIC SPECTROSCOPY LA English DT Article DE Confocal micro-X-ray fluorescence; Micro-X-ray computed tomography; Subsurface particle analysis ID PLASMA-MASS SPECTROMETRY; 3 DIMENSIONS; ICP-MS; SPECTROSCOPY; OBJECTS; MICROTOMOGRAPHY; QUANTIFICATION; SYSTEMS; COPPER; LAYERS AB Current non-destructive elemental characterization methods, such as scanning electron microscopy-based energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) and micro-X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (MXRF), are limited to either elemental identification at the surface (SEM-EDS) or suffer from an inability to discriminate between surface or depth information (MXRF). Thus, a non-destructive elemental characterization of individual embedded particles beneath the surface is impossible with either of these techniques. This limitation can be overcome by using laboratory-based 3D confocal micro-X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (confocal MXRF). This technique utilizes focusing optics on the X-ray source and detector which allows for spatial discrimination in all three dimensions. However, the voxel-by-voxel serial acquisition of a 3D elemental scan can be very time-intensive (similar to 1 to 4 weeks) if it is necessary to locate individual embedded particles of interest. As an example, if each point takes a 5 s measurement time, a small volume of 50 x 50 x 50 pixels leads to an acquisition time of approximately 174 h, not including sample stage movement time. Initially screening the samples for particles of interest using micro-X-ray computed tomography (micro-CT) can significantly reduce the time required to spatially locate these particles. Once located, these individual particles can be elementally characterized with confocal MXRF. Herein, we report the elemental identification of high atomic number surface and subsurface particles embedded in a mineralogical matrix by coupling micro-CT and confocal MXRF. Synergistically, these two X-ray based techniques first rapidly locate and then elementally identify individual subsurface particles. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Various inorganic anions including MCCs, metal-free chalcogenides, oxoanions/oxometallates, and halides/pseudohalides/halometallates have been employed to replace the original long-chain organic ligands on NCs. This ligand exchange can also be achieved through a two-step route using ligands stripping agents like HBF4. This review outlines recent advances in inorganically-capped colloidal NCs and details the ligand exchange process for NCs using MCCs and metal-free chalcogenides. The binding affinities of ligands to NC surface have been rationalized in terms of Pearson's hard and soft acids and bases (HSAB) principle. We also demonstrate that inorganic ligands broaden the functionality of NCs by tailoring their electro-optical properties or generating new inorganic phases through chemical reactions between nanomaterials and their surface ligands. Especially promising are the electronic, optoelectronic, and thermoelectric applications of solution-processed, inorganically-capped colloidal NCs, which substantially outperform their organically-capped couterparts.

TI Ion-Specific Control of the Self-Assembly Dynamics of a Nanostructured Protein Lattice SO ACS NANO LA English DT Article DE protein interactions; biomaterials; nanostructures; self-assembly dynamics; Ca2+ binding ID S-LAYER PROTEINS; BACILLUS-SPHAERICUS CCM-2177; SCATTERING; SBPA; CRYSTALS; BACTERIA; DESIGN; SYSTEM; FASTER; GROWTH AB Self-assembling proteins offer a potential means of creating nanostructures with complex structure and function. However, using self-assembly to create nanostructures with long-range order whose size is tunable is challenging, because the kinetics and thermodynamics of protein interactions depend sensitively on solution conditions. Here we systematically investigate the impact of varying solution conditions on the self-assembly of SbpA, a surface-layer protein from Lysinibacillus sphaericus that forms two-dimensional nanosheets. Using high-throughput light scattering measurements, we mapped out diagrams that reveal the relative yield of self-assembly of nanosheets over a wide range of concentrations of SbpA and Ca2+. These diagrams revealed a localized region of optimum yield of nanosheets at intermediate Ca2+ concentration. Replacement of Mg2+ or Ba2+ for Ca2+ indicates that Ca2+ acts both as a specific ion that is required to induce self-assembly and as a general divalent cation. In addition, we use competitive titration experiments to find that 5 Ca2+ bind to SbpA with an affinity of 67.1 +/- 0.3 mu M. Finally, we show via modeling that nanosheet assembly occurs by growth from a negligibly small critical nucleus. We also chart the dynamics of nanosheet size over a variety of conditions. Our results demonstrate control of the dynamics and size of the self-assembly of a nanostructured lattice, the constituents of which are one of a class of building blocks able to form novel hybrid nanomaterials.

We apply an effective-mass model to identify PbSe/CdSe core/shell quantum dots as a promising system for achieving this goal. We then synthesize colloidal PbSe/CdSe quantum dots with shell thicknesses of up to 4 nm that exhibit unusually slow hole intraband relaxation from shell to core states, as evidenced by the emergence of dual emission, i.e., IR photoluminescence from the PbSe core observed simultaneously with visible emission from the CdSe shell. In addition to the large shell thickness, the development of slowed intraband relaxation is facilitated by the existence of a sharp core-shell interface without discernible alloying. Growth of thick shells without interfacial alloying or incidental formation of homogeneous CdSe nanocrystals was accomplished using insights attained via a systematic study of the dynamics of the cation-exchange synthesis of both PbSe/CdSe and the related system PbS/CdS. Finally, we show that the efficiency of the visible photoluminescence can be greatly enhanced by inorganic passivation.

TI Symmetry Breaking and Electrical Frustration during Tip-Induced Polarization Switching in the Nonpolar Cut of Lithium Niobate Single Crystals SO ACS NANO LA English DT Article DE ferroelectric; domain structure; polarization switching; scanning probe microscopy; lithium niobate; symmetry breaking ID FERROELECTRIC DOMAIN; STOICHIOMETRIC LITAO3; MICROSCOPY; SURFACE; LINBO3; KINETICS AB Polarization switching in ferroelectric materials is governed by a delicate interplay between bulk polarization dynamics and screening processes at surfaces and domain walls. Here we explore the mechanism of tip-induced polarization switching at nonpolar cuts of uniaxial ferroelectrics. In this case, the in-plane component of the polarization vector switches, allowing for detailed observations of the resultant domain morphologies. We observe a surprising variability of resultant domain morphologies stemming from a fundamental instability of the formed charged domain wall and associated electric frustration. In particular, we demonstrate that controlling the vertical tip position allows the polarity of the switching to be controlled. This represents a very unusual form of symmetry breaking where mechanical motion in the vertical direction controls the lateral domain growth. The implication of these studies for ferroelectric devices and domain wall electronics are discussed.

To this end, we have explored the structure-function relationship of single quantum dots (QDs) via precise observation of the impact of atomic arrangement on QD fluorescence. Utilizing wide-field fluorescence microscopy and atomic number contrast scanning transmission electron microscopy (Z-STEM), we have achieved correlation of photoluminescence (PL) data and atomic-level structural information from individual colloidal QDs. This investigation of CdSe/CdS core/shell QDs has enabled exploration of the fine structural factors necessary to control QD PL. Additionally, we have identified specific morphological and structural anomalies, in the form of internal and surface defects, that consistently vitiate QD PL.

These two domains, usually encoded in two ORFs, have been suggested to play the role of a toxin-antitoxin (TA) system in prokaryotes. Recombinant DR0248 was overexpressed and purified from Escherichia coli and diffraction-quality crystals were obtained in the presence of the detergent molecules dodecyldimethylamine oxide (DDAO) and octaethylene glycol monododecyl ether (C12E8), which were used as crystallization additives. Crystals grown with DDAO diffracted to a resolution of 2.24 angstrom and belonged to space group C222(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 98.4, b = 129.9, c = 59.2 angstrom. Crystals grown with C12E8 diffracted to a resolution of 1.83 angstrom and belonged to space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 51.6, b = 87.2, c = 108.2 angstrom. The structure was solved by multiwavelength anomalous dispersion from zinc bound to the protein using a single crystal obtained in the presence of DDAO.

The NAT domain with an N-terminal His tag crystallized in space group P4(1)2(1)2, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 51.72, c = 242.31 angstrom. Two subunits form a molecular dimer in the asymmetric unit, which contains approximate to 41% solvent. The NAT domain without an N-terminal His tag crystallized in space group P2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 63.48, b = 122.34, c = 75.88 angstrom, = 107.6 degrees. Eight subunits, which form four molecular dimers, were identified in the asymmetric unit, which contains approximate to 38% solvent. The structures with and without the N-terminal His tag provide an opportunity to evaluate how the His tag affects structure and function. Furthermore, multiple subunits in different packing environments allow an assessment of the plasticity of the NAG binding site, which might be relevant to substrate binding and product release. The dimeric structure of the X. fastidiosaN-acetytransferase (xfNAT) domain is very similar to that of human N-acetyltransferase (hNAT), reinforcing the notion that mammalian NAGS is evolutionally derived from bifunctional bacterial NAGS/K.

CA MAGIC Collaboration VERITAS Collaboration TI Multiwavelength observations of Mrk 501 in 2008 SO ASTRONOMY & ASTROPHYSICS LA English DT Article DE astroparticle physics; BL Lacertae objects: individual: Mrk 501; gamma rays: general ID GAMMA-RAY EMISSION; EXTRAGALACTIC BACKGROUND LIGHT; ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI; BL LACERTAE OBJECTS; X-RAY; EMITTING ELECTRONS; TELESCOPE SYSTEM; CRAB-NEBULA; TEV BLAZARS; VARIABILITY AB Context. Blazars are variable sources on various timescales over a broad energy range spanning from radio to very high energy (>100 GeV, hereafter VHE). Mrk 501 is one of the brightest blazars at TeV energies and has been extensively studied since its first VHE detection in 1996. However, most of the gamma-ray studies performed on Mrk 501 during the past years relate to flaring activity, when the source detection and characterization with the available gamma-ray instrumentation was easier to perform. Aims. Our goal is to characterize the source gamma-ray emission in detail, together with the radio-to-X-ray emission, during the non-flaring (low) activity, which is less often studied than the occasional flaring (high) activity. Methods. We organized a multiwavelength (MW) campaign on Mrk 501 between March and May 2008. This multi-instrument effort included the most sensitive VHE gamma-ray instruments in the northern hemisphere, namely the imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes MAGIC and VERITAS, as well as Swift, RXTE, the F-GAMMA, GASP-WEBT, and other collaborations and instruments. This provided extensive energy and temporal coverage of Mrk 501 throughout the entire campaign. Results. Mrk 501 was found to be in a low state of activity during the campaign, with a VHE flux in the range of 10%-20% of the Crab nebula flux. Nevertheless, significant flux variations were detected with various instruments, with a trend of increasing variability with energy and a tentative correlation between the X-ray and VHE fluxes. The broadband spectral energy distribution during the two different emission states of the campaign can be adequately described within the homogeneous one-zone synchrotron self-Compton model, with the (slightly) higher state described by an increase in the electron number density. Conclusions. The one-zone SSC model can adequately describe the broadband spectral energy distribution of the source during the two months covered by the MW campaign. This agrees with previous studies of the broadband emission of this source during flaring and non-flaring states. We report for the first time a tentative X-ray-to-VHE correlation during such a low VHE activity. Although marginally significant, this positive correlation between X-ray and VHE, which has been reported many times during flaring activity, suggests that the mechanisms that dominate the X-ray/VHE emission during non-flaring-activity are not substantially different from those that are responsible for the emission during flaring activity.

TI Planck intermediate results. XVIII. The millimetre and sub-millimetre emission from planetary nebulae SO ASTRONOMY & ASTROPHYSICS LA English DT Article DE planetary nebulae: general; radio continuum: ISM; submillimeter: ISM ID PRE-LAUNCH STATUS; ALL-SKY SURVEY; RADIO-CONTINUUM SPECTRA; ARRAY CAMERA IRAC; HELIX NEBULA; OPTICAL-PROPERTIES; FLUX DENSITIES; SOURCE CATALOG; 5 GHZ; INFRARED OBSERVATIONS AB Late stages of stellar evolution are characterized by copious mass-loss events whose signature is the formation of circumstellar envelopes (CSE). Planck multi-frequency measurements have provided relevant information on a sample of Galactic planetary nebulae (PNe) in the important and relatively unexplored observational band between 30 and 857 GHz. Planck enables the assembly of comprehensive PNe spectral energy distributions (SEDs) from radio to far-IR frequencies. Modelling the derived SEDs provides us with information on physical properties of CSEs and the mass content of both main components: ionized gas, traced by the free-free emission at cm-mm waves; and thermal dust, traced by the millimetre and far-IR emission. In particular, the amount of ionized gas and dust has been derived here. Such quantities have also been estimated for the very young PN CRL618, where the strong variability observed in its radio and millimetre emission has previously prevented constructing its SED. A morphological study of the Helix Nebula was also performed. Planck maps reveal, for the first time, the spatial distribution of the dust inside the envelope, allowing us to identify different components, the most interesting of which is a very extended component (up to 1 pc) that may be related to a region where the slow expanding envelope is interacting with the surrounding interstellar medium.

TI The host galaxies of X- ray selected active galactic nuclei to z=2.5: Structure, star formation, and their relationships from CANDELS and Herschel/PACS SO ASTRONOMY & ASTROPHYSICS LA English DT Article DE galaxies: active; galaxies: structure; galaxies: star formation; surveys; methods: statistical; X-rays: galaxies ID SIMILAR-TO 2; DEEP FIELD-SOUTH; DIGITAL SKY SURVEY; SUPERMASSIVE BLACK-HOLES; ULTRALUMINOUS INFRARED GALAXIES; SPECTRAL ENERGY-DISTRIBUTIONS; EXTRAGALACTIC LEGACY SURVEY; HIGH-REDSHIFT GALAXIES; MERGER-AGN CONNECTION; MASSIVE GALAXIES AB We study the relationship between the structure and star formation rate (SFR) of X-ray selected low and moderate luminosity active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in the two Chandra Deep Fields, using Hubble Space Telescope imaging from the Cosmic Assembly Near Infrared Extragalactic Legacy Survey (CANDELS) and deep far-infrared maps from the PEP+GOODS-Herschel survey. We derive detailed distributions of structural parameters and FIR luminosities from carefully constructed control samples of galaxies, which we then compare to those of the AGNs. At z similar to 1, AGNs show slightly diskier light profiles than massive inactive (non-AGN) galaxies, as well as modestly higher levels of gross galaxy disturbance (as measured by visual signatures of interactions and clumpy structure). In contrast, at z similar to 2, AGNs show similar levels of galaxy disturbance as inactive galaxies, but display a red central light enhancement, which may arise from a more pronounced bulge in AGN hosts or extinguished nuclear light. We undertake a number of tests of both these alternatives, but our results do not strongly favor one interpretation over the other. The mean SFR and its distribution among AGNs and inactive galaxies are similar at z > 1.5. At z < 1, however, clear and significant enhancements are seen in the SFRs of AGNs with bulge-dominated light profiles. These trends suggest an evolution in the relation between nuclear activity and host properties with redshift, towards a minor role for mergers and interactions at z > 1.5. C1 [Rosario, D.

Two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations are used to model the emission properties of TeV-bright shell-type supernova remnants (SNRs) and to explore their nature. Methods. In the leptonic scenario for the TeV emission, the.-ray emission is produced via inverse Compton scattering of background soft photons by high-energy electrons accelerated by the shocks of the SNRs. In a previous paper, we showed that since the energy densities of the cosmic microwave background radiation and that of the IR/optical background photons are much higher than that of the photons produced by the same high-energy electrons via the synchrotron process, the observed correlation between X-ray and TeV brightness of SNR RXJ1713.7-3946 can be readily explained with the assumption that the energy density of relativistic electrons is proportional to that of the magnetic field. The TeV emissivity is therefore proportional to the magnetic field energy density and MHD simulations can be used to model the TeV structure of such remnants directly. Two-dimensional MHD simulations for SNRs are then performed under the assumption that the ambient interstellar medium is turbulent with the magnetic field and density fluctuations, following a Kolmogorov-like power-law spectrum. Results. (1) As expected, these simulations confirm early 1D and 2D modelings of these sources, namely the hydrodynamical evolution of the shock waves and amplification of magnetic field by Rayleigh-Taylor convective flows and by shocks propagating in a turbulent medium; (2) we reproduce rather complex morphological structure for.-rays, for example, the bright thin rim and significant asymmetry, suggesting intrinsic variations of the source morphology not related to the structure of the progenitor and environment; and (3) the observed radial profile of several remnants are well reproduced with an ambient medium density of 0.1-1 cm(-3). An even lower ambient density leads to a sharper drop of the TeV brightness with radius than what is observed near the outer edge of these remnants. Conclusions. In a turbulent background medium, we can reproduce the observed characteristics of several shell-type TeV SNRs with reasonable parameters except for a higher ambient density than that inferred from X-ray observations.

TI Source sector and region contributions to BC and PM2.5 in Central Asia SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID TERM CLIMATE-CHANGE; AIR-QUALITY; CARBONACEOUS AEROSOL; HUMAN HEALTH; PLUME RISE; EMISSIONS; MODEL; DISTRIBUTIONS; TRANSPORT; INCLUSION AB Particulate matter (PM) mass concentrations, seasonal cycles, source sector, and source region contributions in Central Asia (CA) are analyzed for the period April 2008-July 2009 using the Sulfur Transport and dEposition Model (STEM) chemical transport model and modeled meteorology from the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. Predicted aerosol optical depth (AOD) values (annual mean value similar to 0.2) in CA vary seasonally, with lowest values in the winter. Surface PM2.5 concentrations (annual mean value similar to 10 mu g m(3)) also exhibit a seasonal cycle, with peak values and largest variability in the spring/summer, and lowest values and variability in the winter (hourly values from 2 to 90 mu g m(3)). Surface concentrations of black carbon (BC) (mean value similar to 0.1 mu g m(-3)) show peak values in the winter. The simulated values are compared to surface measurements of AOD as well as PM2.5, PM10, BC, and organic carbon (OC) mass concentrations at two regional sites in Kyrgyzstan (Lidar Station Teplokluchenka (LST) and Bishkek). The predicted values of AOD and PM mass concentrations and their seasonal cycles are fairly well captured. The carbonaceous aerosols are underpredicted in winter, and analysis suggests that the winter heating emissions are underestimated in the current inventory. Dust, from sources within and outside CA, is a significant component of the PM mass and drives the seasonal cycles of PM and AOD. On an annual basis, the power and industrial sectors are found to be the most important contributors to the anthropogenic portion of PM2.5. Residential combustion and transportation are shown to be the most important sectors for BC. Biomass burning within and outside the region also contributes to elevated PM and BC concentrations. The analysis of the transport pathways and the variations in particulate matter mass and composition in CA demonstrates that this region is strategically located to characterize regional and intercontinental transport of pollutants. Aerosols at these sites are shown to reflect dust, biomass burning, and anthropogenic sources from Europe; South, East, and Central Asia; and Russia depending on the time period. Simulations for a reference 2030 emission scenario based on pollution abatement measures already committed to in current legislation show that PM2.5 and BC concentrations in the region increase, with BC growing more than PM2.5 on a relative basis. This suggests that both the health impacts and the climate warming associated with these particles may increase over the next decades unless additional control measures are taken. The importance of observations in CA to help characterize the changes that are rapidly taking place in the region are discussed. C1 [Kulkarni, S.; Sobhani, N.; Saide, P. E.; Spak, S. N.; Cheng, Y.

The main goal of this field campaign was to capture the dynamical and microphysical characteristics of precipitating convective systems in the US Central Plains. A major component of the campaign was a six-site radiosonde array designed to capture the large-scale variability of the atmospheric state with the intent of deriving model forcing data sets. Over the course of the 46-day MC3E campaign, a total of 1362 radiosondes were launched from the enhanced sonde network. This manuscript provides details on the instrumentation used as part of the sounding array, the data processing activities including quality checks and humidity bias corrections and an analysis of the impacts of bias correction and algorithm assumptions on the determination of convective levels and indices. It is found that corrections for known radiosonde humidity biases and assumptions regarding the characteristics of the surface convective parcel result in significant differences in the derived values of convective levels and indices in many soundings. In addition, the impact of including the humidity corrections and quality controls on the thermodynamic profiles that are used in the derivation of a large-scale model forcing data set are investigated. The results show a significant impact on the derived large-scale vertical velocity field illustrating the importance of addressing these humidity biases. C1 [Jensen, M.

TI Methyl ester synthesis catalyzed by nanoporous gold: from 10(-9) Torr to 1 atm SO CATALYSIS SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article ID AEROBIC OXIDATION; COUPLING REACTIONS; LOW-TEMPERATURE; CO OXIDATION; AU(111); SURFACE; ALDEHYDES; ALCOHOLS; METHANOL; PRODUCTS AB The oxidative coupling reaction of aldehydes with methanol occurs in the vapor phase over a support-free nanoporous gold (npAu) catalyst over a wide pressure range-from 10(-9) Torr to 1 atm. The dependence of the aldehyde-to-ester reaction rate on the oxygen, methanol and aldehyde partial pressures suggests that the rate-limiting step for coupling is the reaction of the aldehyde with surface sites saturated with adsorbed methoxy. Stable catalyst activity is achieved for aldehyde-methanol coupling in flowing reactant mixtures at 70 degrees C. While the conditioned npAu catalyst exhibits high selectivity for methanol-aldehyde coupling, its activity for the self-coupling reaction of methanol to methyl formate is reduced by the exposure to the alcohol-aldehyde mixture in a manner that is consistent with the buildup of spectator species. The activity for methanol self-coupling can be regenerated by extended exposure to flowing methanol, CO and O-2 at 70 degrees C. Overall, the observed catalytic esterification is consistent with model studies of both the npAu catalyst and single crystal gold in ultrahigh vacuum.

TI First-principles study of electronic structure and photocatalytic properties of MnNiO3 as an alkaline oxygen-evolution photocatalyst SO CHEMICAL COMMUNICATIONS LA English DT Article ID VISIBLE-LIGHT; WATER OXIDATION; OXIDES; SEMICONDUCTORS; CATALYSTS; NICKEL; NIMNO3; NIO AB We present a first-principles study of MnNiO3, a promising oxygen-evolution photocatalyst. Using density functional theory with the PBE + U functional and the screened hybrid functional of Heyd, Scuseria, and Ernzerhof (HSE), we compute and analyze the ground-state geometry and electronic structure. We find that MnNiO3 is a ferrimagnetic semiconductor with an indirect band gap, consistent with experimental observations. We also predict that MnNiO3 has promising band edge positions relative to the vacuum, with potential to straddle the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) redox potentials in aqueous solution. A detailed analysis of the band structure and density of states provides a clear explanation for why MnNiO3 has appropriate electronic properties for OER. Furthermore, comprehensive calculations of its Pourbaix diagram suggest that MnNiO3 is stable in alkaline solution at potentials relevant for oxygen evolution.

TI A faux hawk fullerene with PCBM-like properties SO CHEMICAL SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID ACID METHYL-ESTER; AROMATIC-SUBSTITUTION REACTIONS; FLUORINE COUPLING-CONSTANTS; DENSITY-FUNCTIONAL THEORY; PLASTIC SOLAR-CELLS; X-RAY; NUCLEOPHILIC-SUBSTITUTION; NMR-SPECTRA; F-19 NMR; TRIFLUOROMETHYL DERIVATIVES AB Reaction of C-60, C6F5CF2I, and SnH(n-Bu)(3) produced, among other unidentified fullerene derivatives, the two new compounds 1,9-C-60(CF2C6F5)H (1) and 1,9-C-60(cyclo-CF2(2-C6F4)) (2). The highest isolated yield of 1 was 35% based on C-60. Depending on the reaction conditions, the relative amounts of 1 and 2 generated in situ were as high as 85% and 71%, respectively, based on HPLC peak integration and summing over all fullerene species present other than unreacted C-60. Compound 1 is thermally stable in 1,2-dichlorobenzene (oDCB) at 160 degrees C but was rapidly converted to 2 upon addition of Sn-2(n-Bu)(6) at this temperature. In contrast, complete conversion of 1 to 2 occurred within minutes, or hours, at 25 degrees C in 90/10 (v/v) PhCN/C6D6 by addition of stoichiometric, or sub-stoichiometric, amounts of proton sponge (PS) or cobaltocene (CoCp2). DFT calculations indicate that when 1 is deprotonated, the anion C-60(CF2C6F5) can undergo facile intramolecular SNAr annulation to form 2 with concomitant loss of F . To our knowledge this is the first observation of a fullerene-cage carbanion acting as an SNAr nucleophile towards an aromatic C-F bond. The gas-phase electron affinity (EA) of 2 was determined to be 2.805(10) eV by low-temperature PES, higher by 0.12(1) eV than the EA of C-60 and higher by 0.18(1) eV than the EA of phenyl-C-61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM). In contrast, the relative E-1/2(0/-) values of 2 and C-60, -0.01(1) and 0.00(1) V, respectively, are virtually the same (on this scale, and under the same conditions, the E-1/2(0/-) of PCBM is -0.09 V). Time-resolved microwave conductivity chargecarrier yield x mobility values for organic photovoltaic active-layer-type blends of 2 and poly-3-hexylthiophene (P3HT) were comparable to those for equimolar blends of PCBM and P3HT. The structure of solvent-free crystals of 2 was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The number of nearest-neighbor fullerene-fullerene interactions with centroid/centroid (circle dot...circle dot) distances of <= 10.34 angstrom is significantly greater, and the average circle dot...circle dot distance is shorter, for 2 (10 nearest neighbors; ave. circle dot...circle dot distance = 10.09 angstrom) than for solvent-free crystals of PCBM (7 nearest neighbors; ave. circle dot...circle dot distance = 10.17 angstrom). Finally, the thermal stability of 2 was found to be far greater than that of PCBM.

The resulting material exhibits thermochromism attributable to the isomerization between the azo (prevalent at room temperature) and the hydrazone (favoured at higher temperatures) tautomers, leading to a thermomechanical response. In fact, these crystals exhibited thermally induced motion triggering remarkable changes in the crystal morphology and volume. In situ variable temperature XRD of these thin hybrids shows that the reversible change into the two tautomers is reflected in a shift of the position of the diffraction peaks at high temperatures towards lower interlayer spacing for the hydrazone form, as well as a broadening of the peaks reflecting lower crystallinity and ordering due to non-uniform spacing between the layers. These structural variations between room temperature (basal spacing (BS) = 25.91 angstrom) and 100 degrees C (BS = 25.05 angstrom) are also reflected in the magnetic properties of the layered double hydroxide (LDH) due to the variation of the magnetic coupling between the layers. Overall, our study constitutes one of the few examples showing fully reversible thermo-responsive breathing in a 2D hybrid material. In addition, the magnetic response of the hybrid can be modulated due to the thermotropism of the organic component that, by influencing the distance and in-plane correlation of the inorganic LDH, modulates the magnetism of the CoAl-LDH sheets in a certain range.

TI Geochemical reaction mechanism discovery from molecular simulation SO ENVIRONMENTAL CHEMISTRY LA English DT Review ID ELECTRIC DOUBLE-LAYER; ION-PAIR ASSOCIATION; WATER INTERFACE; ISOTOPE FRACTIONATION; FREE-ENERGY; DYNAMICS SIMULATIONS; SOLVATION STRUCTURE; DISSOLUTION RATES; SURFACE-STRUCTURE; CALCITE SURFACES AB Environmental context Computational simulations are providing an increasingly useful way to isolate specific geochemical and environmental reactions and to test how important they are to the overall rate. In this review, we summarise a few ways that one can simulate a reaction and discuss each technique's overall strengths and weaknesses. Selected case studies illustrate how these techniques have helped to improve our understanding for geochemical and environmental problems. Abstract Methods to explore reactions using computer simulation are becoming increasingly quantitative, versatile and robust. In this review, a rationale for how molecular simulation can help build better geochemical kinetics models is first given. Some common methods are summarised that geochemists use to simulate reaction mechanisms, specifically classical molecular dynamics and quantum chemical methods and their strengths and weaknesses are also discussed. Useful tools such as umbrella sampling and metadynamics that enable one to explore reactions are discussed. Several case studies wherein geochemists have used these tools to understand reaction mechanisms are presented, including water exchange and sorption on aqueous species and mineral surfaces, surface charging, crystal growth and dissolution, and electron transfer. The effect that molecular simulation has had on our understanding of geochemical reactivity is highlighted in each case. In the future, it is anticipated that molecular simulation of geochemical reaction mechanisms will become more commonplace as a tool to validate and interpret experimental data, and provide a check on the plausibility of geochemical kinetic models.

We demonstrate the effectiveness of a novel, integrated technology based on moderate temperatures and low pH to convert the carbohydrates in wet algal biomass to soluble sugars for fermentation, while making lipids more accessible for downstream extraction and leaving a protein-enriched fraction behind. We studied the effect of harvest timing on the conversion yields, using two algal strains; Chlorella and Scenedesmus, generating biomass with distinctive compositional ratios of protein, carbohydrate, and lipids. We found that the late harvest Scenedesmus biomass had the maximum theoretical biofuel potential at 143 gasoline gallon equivalent (GGE) combined fuel yield per dry ton biomass, followed by late harvest Chlorella at 128 GGE per ton. Our experimental data show a clear difference between the two strains, as Scenedesmus was more successfully converted in this process with a demonstrated 97 GGE per ton. Our measurements indicated a release of >90% of the available glucose in the hydrolysate liquors and an extraction and recovery of up to 97% of the fatty acids from wet biomass. Techno-economic analysis for the combined product yields indicates that this process exhibits the potential to improve per-gallon fuel costs by up to 33% compared to a lipids-only process for one strain, Scenedesmus, grown to the mid-point harvest condition.

TI Synergistic effects of Ni and acid sites for hydrogenation and C-O bond cleavage of substituted phenols SO GREEN CHEMISTRY LA English DT Article ID SUPPORTED NICKEL-CATALYSTS; DEPOSITION-PRECIPITATION; NI(II) PHASE; PALLADIUM CATALYSTS; ZEOLITE CATALYSTS; MICROALGAE OIL; HYDRODEOXYGENATION; ADSORPTION; CONVERSION; REDUCTION AB The cleavage of C-O bonds in phenol, catechol, and guaiacol has been explored with mono- and dual-functional catalysts containing Ni and/or HZSM-5 in the aqueous phase. The aromatic ring of phenol is hydrogenated in the first step, and the C-O bond of the resulting cyclohexanol is dehydrated in sequence. The initial turnover frequency (TOF) of phenol hydrodeoxygenation increases in parallel with the acid site concentration irrespective of the concentration of the accessible surface Ni atoms. For catechol and guaiacol conversion, Ni catalyzes the hydrogenolysis of the C-O bonds in addition to arene hydrogenation. For catechol, the hydrogenation of the aromatic ring and the hydrogenolysis of the phenolic -OH group occur in parallel with a ratio of 8 : 1. The saturated cyclohexane-1,2-diol can be further dehydrated over HZSM-5 or hydrogenolyzed on Ni to complete hydrodeoxygenation. Guaiacol undergoes primarily hydrogenolysis (75%) to phenol via demethoxylation, and the hydrogenation route accounts for only 25%. This is attributed to the steric effects arising from the adjacent sp(3) hybrid O-CH3 group. 2-Methoxycyclohexanol (from guaiacol hydrogenation) reacts further either via hydrogenolysis by Ni to cyclohexanol or via acid catalyzed demethoxylation and rearrangement steps followed by the subsequent hydrogenation of the intermediately formed olefins. On Ni/HZSM-5, the hydrodeoxygenation activities are much higher for the phenolic monomers than for their respective saturated analogues, pointing to the importance of sp(2) orbitals. The presence of proximal acid sites increases the activities of Ni in the presence of H-2 by a synergistic action.

TI Wireless infrastructure protection using low-cost radio frequency fingerprinting receivers SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE PROTECTION LA English DT Article DE Radio frequency fingerprinting; Physical layer security; WPAN; Spoofing; ZigBee Networks AB Low-data-rate wireless networks incorporated in critical infrastructure applications can be protected through 128-bit encryption keys and address-based access control lists. However, these bit-level credentials are vulnerable to interception, extraction and spoofing using software tools available free of charge on the Internet. Recent research has demonstrated that wireless physical layer device fingerprinting can be used to defend against replay and spoofing attacks. However, radio frequency (RF) fingerprinting typically uses expensive signal collection systems; this is because fingerprinting wireless devices with low-cost receivers has been reported to have inconsistent accuracy. This paper demonstrates a robust radio frequency fingerprinting process that is consistently accurate with both high-end and low-cost receivers. Indeed, the results demonstrate that low-cost software-defined radios can be used to perform accurate radio frequency fingerprinting and to identify spoofing attacks in critical IEEE 802.154-based infrastructure networks such as ZigBee.

TI Estimation of the formation rates of polyatomic species of heavy metals in plutonium analyses using a multicollector ICP-MS with a desolvating nebulizer SO JOURNAL OF ANALYTICAL ATOMIC SPECTROMETRY LA English DT Article ID PLASMA-MASS SPECTROMETRY; ENVIRONMENTAL-SAMPLES; FEMTOGRAM RANGE; URANIUM; SEPARATION; INTERFERENCES; LANTHANIDE AB Analyses of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and environmental samples for the Pu isotopic content are conducted normally at very low concentrations of Pu-usually in the range of parts per trillion and even more often at the parts per quadrillion level. To analyze such low concentrations, the interferents in the analytical solution must be reduced as much as possible. Polyatomic interferents (PIs), formed by heavy elements (HEs) from Hf to Bi, are known to create problems for Pu isotopic analyses, because even the relatively high resolution of a modern multicollector (MC) inductively coupled plasmamass spectrometer (ICP-MS) is insufficient to separate Pu isotopes from such PIs in most cases. Desolvating nebulizers (DSNs) (e. g., APEX and AridusII) reduce significantly the formation of PIs compared to the use of wet plasma. The purpose of this work was to investigate the rate of PI formation produced by HMs when a high-resolution (HR) MC-ICP-MS with a DSN was used for Pu isotopic analyses and to estimate the influence of the HEs present in the sample on the results of the analyses. The NU Plasma HR MC and AridusII DSN were used in this investigation. This investigation was done for the interferents for all Pu isotopes normally analyzed by ICP-MS, including Pu-244, with the exception of Pu-238, which most of the time cannot be analyzed using an ICP-MS, because of the overwhelming presence of U-238 in the solutions. The PI formation rates were determined and reported. Selected IAEA samples were scanned for the presence of HEs and the influence of HEs on the results of Pu isotopic analyses was evaluated.

However, their use with traditional fabrication techniques such as screen-printing is problematic. Here, we show that mixing larger commercial particles with nanoparticles allows traditional ink formulation and screen-printing to be used while still providing benefits of nanoparticles such as increased porosity and lower sintering temperatures. SOFC anodes were produced by impregnating ceria-gadolinia (CGO) scaffolds with nickel nitrate solution. The scaffolds were produced from inks containing a mixture of hydrothermally-synthesised nanoparticle CGO, commercial CGO and polymeric pore formers. The scaffolds were heat-treated at either 1000 or 1300 degrees C, and were mechanically stable. In situ ultra-small X-ray scattering (USAXS) shows that the nanoparticles begin sintering around 900-1000 degrees C. Analysis by USAXS and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that the low temperature heat-treated scaffolds possessed higher porosity. Impregnated scaffolds were used to produce symmetrical cells, with the lower temperature heat-treated scaffolds showing improved gas diffusion, but poorer charge transfer. Using these scaffolds, lower temperature heat-treated cells of Ni-CGO/200 mu m YSZ/CGO-LSCF performed better at 700 degrees C (and below) in hydrogen, and performed better at all temperatures using syngas, with power densities of up to 0.15 W cm(-2) at 800 degrees C. This approach has the potential to allow the use of a wider range of materials and finer control over microstructure.

However, maintaining the stability while extracting high capacity from Si anodes remains a challenge because of significant volume changes during their electrochemical alloying and de-alloying with lithium. Polymer binder selection and optimization may allow dramatic improvements in the performance of Si-based anodes. Most studies of polymer binders of Si anodes have involved the use of insulating poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and carboxyl group containing carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) or poly(acrylic acid) (PAA). Herein, we report for the first time the systematic studies on manipulating the polarity by adjusting the molar ratio of polar triethyleneoxide side chains, therefore the electrolyte up-taking properties change systematically for conductive polyfluorene-based polymer binders. The results show that through optimizing the polarity of polymer binders, superior performance as a binder for Si anodes may be obtained. This study could be used as a model system and may open new avenues to explore a novel series of binders for both insulating and conductive polymer binder families.

The transition temperature after each annealing step has been measured by the mutual inductance technique. The relationship between the effective doping and the vacuum annealing time has been studied. Short-time ozone annealing at 470 degrees C oxidizes an under-doped film all the way to the overdoped regime. The subsequent vacuum annealing at 350 to 380 degrees C slowly brings the sample across the optimal doping point back to the undoped, non-superconducting state. Several ozone and vacuum annealing cycles have been done on the same sample and the effects were found to be repeatable and reversible Vacuum annealing of ozone-loaded La2-xSrxCuO4+delta (LSCO) films is a very controllable process, allowing one to tune the doping level of LSCO in small steps across the superconducting dome, which can be used for fundamental physics studies.

In this work, we report on the first thermoelectric study of individual single-crystalline SnTe nanowires with different diameters ranging from similar to 218 to similar to 913 nm. Measurements of thermopower S, electrical conductivity sigma and thermal conductivity. were carried out on the same nanowires over a temperature range of 25-300 K. While the electrical conductivity does not show a strong diameter dependence, the thermopower increases by a factor of two when the nanowire diameter is decreased from similar to 913 nm to similar to 218 nm. The thermal conductivity of the measured NWs is lower than that of the bulk SnTe, which may arise from the enhanced phonon surface boundary scattering and phonon-defect scattering. Temperature dependent figure of merit ZT was determined for individual nanowires and the achieved maximum value at room temperature is about three times higher than that in bulk samples of comparable carrier density.

In spite of recent progress in utilizing transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to analyze these materials, in situ scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was mostly overlooked as a powerful tool that allows probing these phenomena on the nano and mesoscale. Here we report on in situ SEM study of lithiation in a V2O5-based single-nanobelt battery with ionic liquid electrolyte. Coupled with cyclic voltammetry measurements, in situ SEM revealed the peculiarities of subsurface intercalation, formation of a solid-electrolyte interface (SEI) and electromigration of liquid. We observed that single-crystalline vanadia nanobelts do not undergo large-scale amorphization or fracture during electrochemical cycling, but rather transform topochemically with only a slight shape distortion. The SEI layer seems to have significant influence on the lithium ion diffusion and overall capacity of the single-nanobelt battery.

This insulating state is very sensitive to external perturbations. Here, we show that vertical compression at the nanoscale, delivered using the tip of a standard scanning probe microscope, is capable of inducing a five orders of magnitude change in the room temperature resistivity of Sr2IrO4. The extreme sensitivity of the electronic structure to anisotropic deformations opens up a new angle of interest on this material, with the giant and fully reversible perpendicular piezoresistance rendering iridates as promising materials for room temperature piezotronic devices.

Employing atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), it is demonstrated that the size and coverage of nanoparticles on flat and stepped surfaces may be controlled using a quadrupole mass filter and the length of deposition, respectively. AFM shows that nanoparticles bind randomly to flat surfaces when soft landed at relatively low coverage (4 x 10(4) ions mu m(-2)). On stepped surfaces at intermediate coverage (4 x 10(5) ions mu m(-2)) nanoparticles bind along step edges forming extended linear chains. At the highest coverage (2 x 10(6) ions mu m(-2)) nanoparticles form a continuous film on flat surfaces. On one surface with sizable defects, the presence of localized imperfections results in agglomeration of nanoparticles onto these features and formation of neighboring zones devoid of particles. Employing high resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) the customized magnetron sputtering/gas aggregation source is demonstrated to produce bare single metal particles with controlled morphology as well as bimetallic alloy nanoparticles with defined core-shell structures of that are of interest to catalysis.

TI Finding Our Way through Phenotypes SO PLOS BIOLOGY LA English DT Article ID SEMANTIC-WEB; ONTOLOGY; DISEASE; ANATOMY; SEMAPHORINS; BIOLOGY; EVOLUTIONARY; TECHNOLOGIES; ASSOCIATION; CHALLENGE AB Despite a large and multifaceted effort to understand the vast landscape of phenotypic data, their current form inhibits productive data analysis. The lack of a community-wide, consensus-based, human-and machine-interpretable language for describing phenotypes and their genomic and environmental contexts is perhaps the most pressing scientific bottleneck to integration across many key fields in biology, including genomics, systems biology, development, medicine, evolution, ecology, and systematics. Here we survey the current phenomics landscape, including data resources and handling, and the progress that has been made to accurately capture relevant data descriptions for phenotypes. We present an example of the kind of integration across domains that computable phenotypes would enable, and we call upon the broader biology community, publishers, and relevant funding agencies to support efforts to surmount today's data barriers and facilitate analytical reproducibility.

While cellular immune responses are a key determinant of control, relatively little is known about the contribution of the infecting virus to this process. To gain insight into this interplay between virus and host in viral control, we conducted a detailed analysis of two heterosexual HIV-1 subtype A transmission pairs in which female recipients sharing three HLA class I alleles exhibited contrasting clinical outcomes: R880F controlled virus replication while R463F experienced high viral loads and rapid disease progression. Near full-length single genome amplification defined the infecting transmitted/founder (T/F) virus proteome and subsequent sequence evolution over the first year of infection for both acutely infected recipients. T/F virus replicative capacities were compared in vitro, while the development of the earliest cellular immune response was defined using autologous virus sequence-based peptides. The R880F T/F virus replicated significantly slower in vitro than that transmitted to R463F. While neutralizing antibody responses were similar in both subjects, during acute infection R880F mounted a broad T cell response, the most dominant components of which targeted epitopes from which escape was limited. In contrast, the primary HIV-specific T cell response in R463F was focused on just two epitopes, one of which rapidly escaped. This comprehensive study highlights both the importance of the contribution of the lower replication capacity of the transmitted/founder virus and an associated induction of a broad primary HIV-specific T cell response, which was not undermined by rapid epitope escape, to long-term viral control in HIV-1 infection. It underscores the importance of the earliest CD8 T cell response targeting regions of the virus proteome that cannot mutate without a high fitness cost, further emphasizing the need for vaccines that elicit a breadth of T cell responses to conserved viral epitopes.

The two examples with p-CH3- (4(b)) and p-NO2-substituted (4(e)) phenyl groups have been characterized by X-ray crystallography. The binding properties of receptor 4(e) were investigated by means of H-1 NMR spectroscopic and absorption titration experiments in CHCl3-DMSO (10 : 1, v/v) solution in the presence of K+ ions and various anions. Interestingly, it was found that receptor 4(e), which possesses two p-nitrophenyl ureido moieties, can complex most efficiently in the urea cavity or the crown-ether moiety; and the plausible allosteric effect of receptor 4(e) was also studied.

Zoughi, Reza TI Holographical Microwave Imaging of Corroded Steel Bars in Concrete SO ACI MATERIALS JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE corrosion; nondestructive evaluation; reinforcing steel; three-dimensional microwave imaging ID PREDICTIVE MODELS; CRACKING AB Corrosion assessment of embedded steel in concrete structures is generally performed by electrochemical methods that are not fully nondestructive because the device requires connection to the steel. For practical applications, the development of a truly nondestructive technique for the detection of corrosion is desirable. This paper presents an experimental study of a wideband microwave three-dimensional synthetic aperture radar imaging technique applied to reinforced concrete specimens subjected to corrosion. Two orthogonal wave polarization directions were used for this purpose. Two-dimensional microwave image slices were analyzed and compared with the actual loss of steel measured during the destructive testing. As expected, the results indicated that higher-frequency images have higher spatial resolution, while the signal penetration became more limited at these frequencies. Though the relatively high moisture content significantly increased the dissipative properties against electromagnetic propagation, the technique was capable of differentiating between corroded and non-corroded steel bars.

TI Searching for Neutrinoless Double-Beta Decay of Te-130 with CUORE SO ADVANCES IN HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS LA English DT Review ID RADIOACTIVE CONTAMINATION; RESPONSE STABILIZATION; RARE EVENTS; BOLOMETERS; VALIDATION; DETECTORS; CUORICINO; MACRO AB Neutrinoless double-beta (0 gamma beta beta) decay is a hypothesized lepton-number-violating process that offers the only known means of asserting the possible Majorana nature of neutrino mass. The Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE) is an upcoming experiment designed to search for 0 gamma beta beta decay of Te-130 using an array of 988 TeO2 crystal bolometers operated at 10 mK. The detector will contain 206 kg of Te-130 and have an average energy resolution of 5 keV; the projected 0 gamma beta beta decay half-life sensitivity after five years of livetime is 1.6 x 10 2(6) y at 1 sigma (9.5 x 10(25) y at the 90% confidence level), which corresponds to an upper limit on the effective Majorana mass in the range 40-100 meV (50-130 meV). In this paper, we review the experimental techniques used in CUORE as well as its current status and anticipated physics reach. C1 [Artusa, D. R.; Avignone, F. T., III; Chott, N.; Creswick, R.

TI Origin of the lunar highlands Mg-suite: An integrated petrology, geochemistry, chronology, and remote sensing perspective SO AMERICAN MINERALOGIST LA English DT Review DE Moon; lunar highlands; chronology; Mg-suite plutonic rocks; planetary crust; planetary differentiation; Review ID PRISTINE MOON ROCKS; NORITIC ANORTHOSITE CLAST; PICRITIC GLASS-BEADS; FRA MAURO FORMATION; SM-ND AGE; ION MICROPROBE; MARE BASALTS; FERROAN ANORTHOSITES; BULK COMPOSITION; MAGMA OCEAN AB The Mg-suite represents an enigmatic episode of lunar highlands magmatism that presumably represents the first stage of crustal building following primordial differentiation. This review examines the mineralogy, geochemistry, petrology, chronology, and the planetary-scale distribution of this suite of highlands plutonic rocks, presents models for their origin, examines petrogenetic relationships to other highlands rocks, and explores the link between this style of magmatism and early stages of lunar differentiation. Of the models considered for the origin of the parent magmas for the Mg-suite, the data best fit a process in which hot (solidus temperature at >= 2 GPa = 1600 to 1800 degrees C) and less dense (rho similar to 3100 kg/m(3)) early lunar magma ocean cumulates rise to the base of the crust during cumulate pile overturn. Some decompressional melting would occur, but placing a hot cumulate horizon adjacent to the plagioclase-rich primordial crust and KREEP-rich lithologies (at temperatures of <1300 degrees C) would result in the hybridization of these divergent primordial lithologies, producing Mg-suite parent magmas. As urKREEP (primeval KREEP) is not the "petrologic driver" of this style of magmatism, outside of the Procellarum KREEP Terrane (PKT), Mg-suite magmas are not required to have a KREEP signature. Evaluation of the chronology of this episode of highlands evolution indicates that Mg-suite magmatism was initiated soon after primordial differentiation (<10 m.y.). Alternatively, the thermal event associated with the mantle overturn may have disrupted the chronometers utilized to date the primordial crust. Petrogenetic relationships between the Mg-suite and other highlands suites (e.g., alkali-suite and magnesian anorthositic granulites) are consistent with both fractional crystallization processes and melting of distinctly different hybrid sources.

TI Atmospheric inversion of surface carbon flux with consideration of the spatial distribution of US crop production and consumption SO BIOGEOSCIENCES LA English DT Article ID NET PRIMARY PRODUCTIVITY; NORTH-AMERICA; ECOSYSTEM MODEL; UNITED-STATES; DIOXIDE EXCHANGE; CO2 OBSERVATIONS; SINKS; FOREST; RESOLUTION; TRANSPORT AB In order to improve quantification of the spatial distribution of carbon sinks and sources in the conterminous US, we conduct a nested global atmospheric inversion with detailed spatial information on crop production and consumption. County-level cropland net primary productivity, harvested biomass, soil carbon change, and human and livestock consumption data over the conterminous US are used for this purpose. Time-dependent Bayesian synthesis inversions are conducted based on CO2 observations at 210 stations to infer CO2 fluxes globally at monthly time steps with a nested focus on 30 regions in North America. Prior land surface carbon fluxes are first generated using a bio-spheric model, and the inversions are constrained using prior fluxes with and without adjustments for crop production and consumption over the 2002-2007 period. After these adjustments, the inverted regional carbon sink in the US Midwest increases from 0.25 +/- 0.03 to 0.42 +/- 0.13 PgC yr(-1), whereas the large sink in the US southeast forest region is weakened from 0.41 +/- 0.12 to 0.29 +/- 0.12 PgC yr(-1). These adjustments also reduce the inverted sink in the west region from 0.066 +/- 0.04 to 0.040 +/- 0.02 PgC yr(-1) because of high crop consumption and respiration by humans and livestock. The general pattern of sink increases in crop production areas and sink decreases (or source increases) in crop consumption areas highlights the importance of considering the lateral carbon transfer in crop products in atmospheric inverse modeling, which provides a reliable atmospheric perspective of the overall carbon balance at the continental scale but is unreliable for separating fluxes from different ecosystems.

TI North America's net terrestrial CO2 exchange with the atmosphere 1990-2009 SO BIOGEOSCIENCES LA English DT Article ID GLOBAL CARBON-CYCLE; INTERANNUAL VARIABILITY; UNITED-STATES; BUDGET; BALANCE; INVERSIONS; FORESTS; MODELS; SINKS; LAND AB Scientific understanding of the global carbon cycle is required for developing national and international policy to mitigate fossil fuel CO2 emissions by managing terrestrial carbon uptake. Toward that understanding and as a contribution to the REgional Carbon Cycle Assessment and Processes (RECCAP) project, this paper provides a synthesis of net land-atmosphere CO2 exchange for North America (Canada, United States, and Mexico) over the period 1990-2009. Only CO2 is considered, not methane or other greenhouse gases. This synthesis is based on results from three different methods: atmospheric inversion, inventory-based methods and terrestrial biosphere modeling. All methods indicate that the North American land surface was a sink for atmospheric CO2, with a net transfer from atmosphere to land. Estimates ranged from -890 to -280 TgC yr(-1), where the mean of atmospheric inversion estimates forms the lower bound of that range (a larger land sink) and the inventory-based estimate using the production approach the upper (a smaller land sink). This relatively large range is due in part to differences in how the approaches represent trade, fire and other disturbances and which ecosystems they include. Integrating across estimates, "best" estimates (i.e., measures of central tendency) are -472 +/- 281 TgC yr(-1) based on the mean and standard deviation of the distribution and -360 TgC yr(-1) (with an interquartile range of -496 to -337) based on the median. Considering both the fossil fuel emissions source and the land sink, our analysis shows that North America was, however, a net contributor to the growth of CO2 in the atmosphere in the late 20th and early 21st century. With North America's mean annual fossil fuel CO2 emissions for the period 1990-2009 equal to 1720 Tg C yr(-1) and assuming the estimate of -472 TgC yr(-1) as an approximation of the true terrestrial CO2 sink, the continent's source : sink ratio for this time period was 1720 : 472, or nearly 4 : 1.

TI Moderate forest disturbance as a stringent test for gap and big-leaf models SO BIOGEOSCIENCES LA English DT Article ID NET PRIMARY PRODUCTION; CARBON STORAGE; BOREAL FOREST; UNITED-STATES; TEMPERATE FOREST; DECIDUOUS FOREST; CENTRAL CANADA; USE EFFICIENCY; LAND-USE; SUCCESSION AB Disturbance-induced tree mortality is a key factor regulating the carbon balance of a forest, but tree mortality and its subsequent effects are poorly represented processes in terrestrial ecosystem models. It is thus unclear whether models can robustly simulate moderate (non-catastrophic) disturbances, which tend to increase biological and structural complexity and are increasingly common in aging US forests. We tested whether three forest ecosystem models - Biome-BGC (BioGeochemical Cycles), a classic big-leaf model, and the ZELIG and ED (Ecosystem Demography) gap-oriented models - could reproduce the resilience to moderate disturbance observed in an experimentally manipulated forest (the Forest Accelerated Succession Experiment in northern Michigan, USA, in which 38% of canopy dominants were stem girdled and compared to control plots). Each model was parameterized, spun up, and disturbed following similar protocols and run for 5 years post-disturbance. The models replicated observed declines in aboveground biomass well. Biome-BGC captured the timing and rebound of observed leaf area index (LAI), while ZELIG and ED correctly estimated the magnitude of LAI decline. None of the models fully captured the observed post-disturbance C fluxes, in particular gross primary production or net primary production (NPP). Biome-BGC NPP was correctly resilient but for the wrong reasons, and could not match the absolute observational values. ZELIG and ED, in contrast, exhibited large, unobserved drops in NPP and net ecosystem production. The biological mechanisms proposed to explain the observed rapid resilience of the C cycle are typically not incorporated by these or other models. It is thus an open question whether most ecosystem models will simulate correctly the gradual and less extensive tree mortality characteristic of moderate disturbances.

TI Human in Vivo Pharmacokinetics of [C-14]Dibenzo[def,p]chrysene by Accelerator Mass Spectrometry Following Oral Microdosing SO CHEMICAL RESEARCH IN TOXICOLOGY LA English DT Article ID POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC-HYDROCARBONS; TRANSPLACENTAL CARCINOGENESIS; URINARY-EXCRETION; LUNG-CANCER; DNA-ADDUCTS; EXPOSURE; METABOLISM; MICE; SMOKERS; FOOD AB Dibenzo(def,p)chrysene (DBC), (also known as dibenzo[a,l]pyrene), is a high molecular weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) found in the environment, including food, produced by the incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons. DBC, classified by IARC as a 2A probable human carcinogen, has a relative potency factor (RPF) in animal cancer models 30-fold higher than benzo[a]pyrene. No data are available describing the disposition of high molecular weight (>4 rings) PAHs in humans to compare to animal studies. Pharmacokinetics of DBC was determined in 3 female and 6 male human volunteers following oral microdosing (29 ng, 5 nCi) of [C-14]-DBC. This study was made possible with highly sensitive accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS), capable of detecting [C-14]-DBC equivalents in plasma and urine following a dose considered of de minimus risk to human health. Plasma and urine were collected over 72 h. The plasma C-max was 68.8 +/- 44.3 fg.mL(-1) with a T-max of 2.25 +/- 1.04 h. Elimination occurred in two distinct phases: a rapid (alpha)-phase, with a T-1/2 of 5.8 +/- 3.4 h and an apparent elimination rate constant (K-el) of 0.17 +/- 0.12 fg.h(-1), followed by a slower (beta)-phase, with a T-1/2 of 41.3 +/- 29.8 h and an apparent K-el of 0.03 +/- 0.02 fg.h(-1). In spite of the high degree of hydrophobicity (log K-ow of 7.4), DBC was eliminated rapidly in humans, as are most PAHs in animals, compared to other hydrophobic persistent organic pollutants such as, DDT, PCBs and TCDD. Preliminary examination utilizing a new UHPLC-AMS interface, suggests the presence of polar metabolites in plasma as early as 45 min following dosing. This is the first in vivo data set describing pharmacokinetics in humans of a high molecular weight PAH and should be a valuable addition to risk assessment paradigms.

TI Mechanical Model of Globular Transition in Polymers SO CHEMPLUSCHEM LA English DT Article DE granular physics; molecular dynamics; phase transitions; polymers; statistical mechanics ID GRANULAR MEDIA; CHAINS; MOLECULES; DYNAMICS; SOLVENT; PHYSICS; DRIVEN AB In complex, multicomponent systems, polymers often undergo phase transitions between distinct conformations. This paper reports a millimeter-scale granular model of coil-to-globule transitions: one "polymer" chain-a cylinders-on-a-string "pearl necklace"-and many spheres, all shaken on a horizontal surface. It is possible to describe the behavior of this granular system by using formalisms generally used in statistical physics of polymers. Two sets of experiments allowed the observation of first-and second-order coil-to-globule transitions. The model shows that the competition between long- and short-range interactions leads to a first-order transition. Well-designed granular system represents another kind of approach to the study of polymer phase transitions and might inspire future designs of polymer-like mesoscale systems.

The advent of massively parallel supercomputers has enhanced the scientific community's ability to study larger system sizes. Ground-state DFT calculations on similar to 10(3) valence electrons using traditional O (N-3) algorithms can be routinely performed on present-day supercomputers. The performance characteristics of these massively parallel DFT codes on > 10(4) computer cores are not well understood. The GPAW code was ported an optimized for the Blue Gene/P architecture. We present our algorithmic parallelization strategy and interpret the results for a number of benchmark test cases. Copyright (C) 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. C1 [Romero, N. A.; Morozov, V.

Microporous MOF materials, due to their high permeability and size selectivity, have attracted tremendous interest in gas storage and separation, large molecule adsorption, catalysis, and sensing. Despite the significant fabrication challenges, nanosized MOF particles can be fabricated to display enhanced gas storage and separation abilities in comparison to the parent MOF bulk counterparts under special synthesis conditions. So far, the majority of MOF nanocrystals have been derived from the controlled nucleation and growth of molecular precursors in homogeneous solutions. However, synthesis protocols based on nucleation and growth from dilute solution precursors are difficult to adapt to the synthesis of other nanoscopic materials, such as thin film and mixed-matrix membranes, which limits the practical applications of MOFs. This article discusses the current status of synthetic methods that have been utilized to fabricate MOF-based nanoscopic materials and ultrathin membranes from nanoscopic metal oxide precursors.

Insights from a joint experimental/theoretical study SO DALTON TRANSACTIONS LA English DT Article ID ENERGY-ADJUSTED PSEUDOPOTENTIALS; REDUCTIVE ELIMINATION-REACTIONS; EXHIBITING ENHANCED REACTIVITY; VALENT ORGANOURANIUM COMPLEXES; TEMPORARY ANION STATES; RARE-EARTH-ELEMENTS; SET MODEL CHEMISTRY; C-H ACTIVATION; CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE; TRANSITION-METAL AB Isomerisation of buta-1,2-diene to but-2-yne by (Me5C5)(2)Yb is a thermodynamically favourable reaction, with the Delta(r)G degrees estimated from experimental data at 298 K to be -3.0 kcal mol(-1). It proceeds in hydrocarbon solvents with a pseudo first-order rate constant of 6.4 x 10(-6) s(-1) and 7.4 x 10(-5) s(-1) in C6D12 and C6D6, respectively, at 20 degrees C. This 1,3-hydrogen shift is formally forbidden by symmetry and has to occur by an alternative pathway. The proposed mechanism for buta-1,2-diene to but-2-yne isomerisation by (Me5C5)(2)Yb involves coordination of methylallene (buta-1,2-diene) to (Me5C5)(2)Yb, and deprotonation of methylallene by one of the Me5C5 ligands followed by protonation of the terminal methylallenyl carbon to yield the known coordination compound (Me5C5)(2)Yb(eta(2)-MeC CMe). Computationally, this mechanism is not initiated by a single electron transfer step, and the ytterbium retains its oxidation state (II) throughout the reactivity. Experimentally, the influence of the metal centre is discussed by comparison with the reaction of (Me5C5)(2)Ca towards buta-1,2-diene, and (Me5C5)(2)Yb with ethylene. The mechanism by which the Me5C5 acts as a proton-relay within the coordination sphere of a metal also rationalises the reactivity of (i) (Me5C5)(2)Eu(OEt2) with phenylacetylene, (ii) (Me5C5)(2)Yb(OEt2) with phenylphosphine and (iii) (Me5C5)(2)U(NPh)(2) with H-2 to yield (Me5C5)(2)U(HNPh)(2). In the latter case, the computed mechanism is the heterolytic activation of H-2 by (Me5C5)(2)U(NPh)(2) to yield (Me5C5)(2)U(H)(HNPh)(NPh), followed by a hydrogen transfer from uranium back to the imido nitrogen atom using one Me5C5 ligand as a proton-relay. The overall mechanism by which hydrogen shifts using a pentamethylcyclopentadienyl ligand as a proton-relay is named Carambole in reference to carom billiards.

Four successive binary complexes, Nd(NO3)(2+), Nd(NO3)(2)(+), Nd(NO3)(3), and Nd(NO3)(4)(-), were identified, and their stability constants in water-saturated BumimTf(2)N are several orders of magnitude higher than those in aqueous solutions, but much lower than those observed in dry BumimTf(2)N. The complexation of lanthanides with nitrate in wet BumimTf(2)N proceeds via the replacement of water molecules by bidentate nitrate anions from the inner solvation spheres of Ln(3+) cations. In the absence of nitrate, the precipitation of Ln(III)/chloride complex(es) occurs at low ratios of C-Cl/C-Ln (< 6) in BumimTf(2)N, which precludes the determination of stability constants of binary Ln(III)/chloride complexes by spectrophotometry or luminescence spectroscopy. However, using a competition approach, the formation of two ternary complexes, Ln(NO3)(3)Cl-2(2-) and Ln(NO3)(2)Cl-4(3-), has been observed and their stability constants in wet BumimTf(2)N were determined. Data indicate that both nitrate and chloride are stronger ligands than water for lanthanides in BumimTf(2)N.

The ability to predict the time-dependent moisture contents of the biomass via modeling can help to devise a better way to store and manage these biomass materials. In this study, pieces of aspen stems were subject to cycles of wetting and drying in lab-scale tests. A lumped mathematical model for simulating the moisture changes during storage was developed and calibrated using the experimental data. With the available weather data (air temperature, relative humidity, solar radiation, wind speed, and precipitation) as inputs, the model was then applied to estimate the moisture content of aspen (Populus tremuloides) during one year of storage in the field. Results showed that, for both uncovered bales and covered bales, the predicted moisture contents and the profiles were in good agreement with the measured in-field results. This lumped model may be used as a first approximation, and applied to estimate the moisture content of aspen or similar woody biomass materials during relatively long-term field storage.

TI Greenness indices from digital cameras predict the timing and seasonal dynamics of canopy-scale photosynthesis SO ECOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS LA English DT Article DE deciduous broadleaf forest; digital repeat photography; evergreen needleleaf forest; grassland; gross primary productivity; PhenoCam; phenology; photosynthesis; seasonality ID DECIDUOUS BROADLEAF FOREST; NET ECOSYSTEM EXCHANGE; CARBON-DIOXIDE FLUX; REPEAT PHOTOGRAPHY; CLIMATE-CHANGE; ENERGY FLUXES; INTERANNUAL VARIABILITY; TERRESTRIAL BIOSPHERE; PLANT PHENOLOGY; NEAR-SURFACE AB The proliferation of digital cameras co-located with eddy covariance instrumentation provides new opportunities to better understand the relationship between canopy phenology and the seasonality of canopy photosynthesis. In this paper we analyze the abilities and limitations of canopy color metrics measured by digital repeat photography to track seasonal canopy development and photosynthesis, determine phenological transition dates, and estimate intra-annual and interannual variability in canopy photosynthesis. We used 59 site-years of camera imagery and net ecosystem exchange measurements from 17 towers spanning three plant functional types (deciduous broadleaf forest, evergreen needleleaf forest, and grassland/crops) to derive color indices and estimate gross primary productivity (GPP). GPP was strongly correlated with greenness derived from camera imagery in all three plant functional types. Specifically, the beginning of the photosynthetic period in deciduous broadleaf forest and grassland/crops and the end of the photosynthetic period in grassland/crops were both correlated with changes in greenness; changes in redness were correlated with the end of the photosynthetic period in deciduous broadleaf forest. However, it was not possible to accurately identify the beginning or ending of the photosynthetic period using camera greenness in evergreen needleleaf forest. At deciduous broadleaf sites, anomalies in integrated greenness and total GPP were significantly correlated up to 60 days after the mean onset date for the start of spring. More generally, results from this work demonstrate that digital repeat photography can be used to quantify both the duration of the photosynthetically active period as well as total GPP in deciduous broadleaf forest and grassland/crops, but that new and different approaches are required before comparable results can be achieved in evergreen needleleaf forest.

TI Hydrologic filtering of fish life history strategies across the United States: implications for stream flow alteration SO ECOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS LA English DT Article DE classification frameworks; dams; ecohydrology; environmental flows; fish reproductive strategies; fish traits; flow-ecology relationship; hydrologic alteration ID FRESH-WATER FISHES; SPECIES TRAITS; POPULATION REGULATION; ENVIRONMENTAL FLOWS; REPRODUCTIVE GUILDS; RIVERINE FISH; REGIMES; CLASSIFICATION; MANAGEMENT; HABITAT AB Lotic fish have developed life history strategies adapted to the natural variation in stream flow regimes. The natural timing, duration, and magnitude of flow events has contributed to the diversity, production, and composition of fish assemblages over time. Studies evaluating the role of hydrology in structuring fish assemblages have been more common at the local or regional scale with very few studies conducted at the continental scale. Furthermore, quantitative linkages between natural hydrologic patterns and fish assemblages are rarely used to make predictions of ecological consequences of hydrologic alterations. We ask two questions: (1) what is the relative role of hydrology in structuring fish assemblages at large scales? and (2) can relationships between fish assemblages and natural hydrology be utilized to predict fish assemblage responses to hydrologic disturbance? We developed models to relate fish life histories and reproductive strategies to landscape and hydrologic variables separately and then combined. Models were then used to predict the ecological consequences of altered hydrology due to dam regulation. Although hydrology plays a considerable role in structuring fish assemblages, the performance of models using only hydrologic variables was lower than that of models constructed using landscape variables. Isolating the relative importance of hydrology in structuring fish assemblages at the continental scale is difficult since hydrology is interrelated to many landscape factors. By applying models to dam-regulated hydrologic data, we observed some consistent predicted responses in fish life history strategies and modes of reproduction. In agreement with existing literature, equilibrium strategists are predicted to increase following dam regulation, whereas opportunistic and periodic species are predicted to decrease. In addition, dam regulation favors the selection of reproductive strategies with extended spawning seasons and preference for stable conditions.

Historically, nuclear material accounting (NMA) has provided the quantitative basis for monitoring for nuclear material loss or diversion, and process monitoring (PM) data is collected by the operator to monitor the process. PM data typically support NMA in various ways, often by providing a basis to estimate some of the in-process nuclear material inventory. We develop options for combining PM residuals and NMA residuals (residual = measurement - prediction), using a hybrid of period-driven and data-driven hypothesis testing. The modified statistical tests can be used on time series of NMA residuals (the NMA residual is the familiar material balance), or on a combination of PM and NMA residuals. The PM residuals can be generated on a fixed time schedule or as events occur. C1 [Burr, Tom; Hamada, Michael S.; Ticknor, Larry; Sprinkle, James] Los Alamos Natl Lab, Los Alamos, NM 87545 USA.

Within the vicinity of the chemical potential Delta G similar to 0.20 eV/Li from the thermodynamic ground state of the Li2O2 crystal structure (i.e., Foppl structure), all of these newly found metastable Li2O2 crystal structures are found to be insulating and high-k materials, and they have a common unique signature of an O-2(2-) O-O vibration mode (omega similar to 799-865 cm(-1)), which is in the range of that commonly observed in Li-air battery experiments, regardless of the random O-2(2-) orientations and the symmetry in the crystal lattice. From XRD patterns analysis, the commercially available Li2O2 powder is confirmed to be the thermodynamic ground state Foppl-like structure. However, for Li2O2 compounds that are grown electrochemically under the environment of Li-O-2 cells, we found that the XRD patterns alone are not sufficient for structural identification of these metastable Li2O2 crystalline phases due to the poor crystallinity of the sample. In addition, the commonly known Raman signal of O-2(2-) vibration mode is also found to be insufficient to validate the possible existence of these newly predicted Li2O2 crystal structures, as all of them similarly share the similar O-2(2-) vibration mode. However considering that the discharge voltage in most Li-O-2 cells are typically several tenths of an eV below the thermodynamic equilibrium for the formation of ground state Foppl structure, the formation of these metastable Li2O2 crystal structures appears to be thermodynamically feasible.

TI Impacts of climate change on energy consumption and peak demand in buildings: A detailed regional approach SO ENERGY LA English DT Article DE Climate change; Buildings; Energy demand ID DAILY SOLAR-RADIATION; ELECTRICITY DEMAND; MODEL; METHODOLOGY; SECTOR; PRECIPITATION; TEMPERATURE; CALIFORNIA; HUMIDITY; LEVEL AB This paper presents the results of numerous commercial and residential building simulations, with the purpose of examining the impact of climate change on peak and annual building energy consumption over the portion of the EIC (Eastern Interconnection) located in the United States. The climate change scenario considered includes changes in mean climate characteristics as well as changes in the frequency and duration of intense weather events. Simulations were performed using the BEND (Building ENergy Demand) model which is a detailed building analysis platform utilizing EnergyPlus (TM) as the simulation engine. Over 26,000 building configurations of different types, sizes, vintages, and characteristics representing the population of buildings within the EIC, are modeled across the three EIC time zones using the future climate from 100 target region locations, resulting in nearly 180,000 spatially relevant simulated demand profiles for three years selected to be representative of the general climate trend over the century. This approach provides a heretofore unprecedented level of specificity across multiple spectrums including spatial, temporal, and building characteristics. This capability enables the ability to perform detailed hourly impact studies of building adaptation and mitigation strategies on energy use and electricity peak demand within the context of the entire grid and economy.

In this study, occupancy is defined at four levels and varies with time: (1) the number of occupants in a building, (2) occupancy status of a space, (3) the number of occupants in a space, and (4) the space location of an occupant. Occupancy has a great influence on internal loads and ventilation requirement, thus building energy consumption. Based on a comprehensive review and comparison of literature on occupancy modeling, three representative occupancy models, corresponding to the levels 2-4, are selected and implemented in a software module. Main contributions of our study include: (1) new methods to classify occupancy models, (2) the review and selection of various levels of occupancy models, and (3) new methods to integrate these model into a tool that can be used in different ways for different applications and by different audiences. The software can simulate more detailed occupancy in buildings to improve the simulation of energy use, and better evaluate building technologies in buildings. The occupancy of an office building is simulated as an example to demonstrate the use of the software module. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Normal human primary keratinocytes and immortalized keratinocytes grown in 2D monolayers each were exposed to graded doses of 0.3 or 1.0 GeV/n silicon ions or similar energies of iron ions. The frequencies of induced MN were determined and compared to -ray data. RBEmax values ranged from 1.6 to 3.9 for primary keratinocytes and from 2.4 to 6.3 for immortalized keratinocytes. At low radiation doses 0.4 Gy, 0.3 GeV/n iron ions were the most effective at inducing MN in normal keratinocytes. An over-kill effect was observed for 0.3 GeV/n iron ions at higher doses, wherein 1.0 GeV/n iron ions were most efficient in inducing MN. In immortalized keratinocytes, 0.3 GeV/n iron ions produced MN with greater frequency than 1.0 GeV/n iron ions, except at the highest dose tested. MN formation was higher in immortalized keratinocytes than in normal keratinocytes for all doses and radiation qualities investigated. MN induction was also assessed in human keratinocytes cultured in 3D to simulate the complex architecture of human skin. RBE values for MN formation in 3D were reduced for normal keratinocytes exposed to iron ions, but were elevated for immortalized keratinocytes. Overall, MN induction was significantly lower in keratinocytes cultured in 3D than in 2D. Together, the results suggest that tissue architecture and immortalization status modulate the genotoxic response to space radiation, perhaps via alterations in DNA repair fidelity. Environ. Mol.

TI Life-cycle implications and supply chain logistics of electric vehicle battery recycling in California SO ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH LETTERS LA English DT Article DE life-cycle assessment; geographical information systems; lithium-ion batteries; recycling; supply-chain analysis ID GREENHOUSE-GAS EMISSIONS; LITHIUM-ION BATTERY; PLUG-IN HYBRID; ENVIRONMENTAL-IMPACT AB Plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) use in the United States (US) has doubled in recent years and is projected to continue increasing rapidly. This is especially true in California, which makes up nearly one-third of the current US PEV market. Planning and constructing the necessary infrastructure to support this projected increase requires insight into the optimal strategies for PEV battery recycling. Utilizing life-cycle perspectives in evaluating these supply chain networks is essential in fully understanding the environmental consequences of this infrastructure expansion. This study combined life-cycle assessment and geographic information systems (GIS) to analyze the energy, greenhouse gas (GHG), water use, and criteria air pollutant implications of end-of-life infrastructure networks for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in California. Multiple end-of-life scenarios were assessed, including hydrometallurgical and pyrometallurgical recycling processes. Using economic and environmental criteria, GIS modeling revealed optimal locations for battery dismantling and recycling facilities for in-state and out-of-state recycling scenarios. Results show that economic return on investment is likely to diminish if more than two in-state dismantling facilities are constructed. Using rail as well as truck transportation can substantially reduce transportation-related GHG emissions (23-45%) for both in-state and out-of-state recycling scenarios. The results revealed that material recovery from pyrometallurgy can offset environmental burdens associated with LIB production, namely a 6-56% reduction in primary energy demand and 23% reduction in GHG emissions, when compared to virgin production. Incorporating human health damages from air emissions into the model indicated that Los Angeles and Kern Counties are most at risk in the infrastructure scale-up for in-state recycling due to their population density and proximity to the optimal location.

TI Parameterizing deep convection using the assumed probability density function method SO GEOSCIENTIFIC MODEL DEVELOPMENT LA English DT Article ID COMMUNITY ATMOSPHERE MODEL; GENERAL-CIRCULATION MODEL; ORDER TURBULENCE CLOSURE; CLOUD-RESOLVING MODELS; LARGE-EDDY SIMULATIONS; LARGE-SCALE MODELS; CUMULUS CONVECTION; BOUNDARY-LAYER; PART I; MARINE STRATOCUMULUS AB Due to their coarse horizontal resolution, present-day climate models must parameterize deep convection. This paper presents single-column simulations of deep convection using a probability density function (PDF) parameterization. The PDF parameterization predicts the PDF of subgrid variability of turbulence, clouds, and hydrometeors. That variability is interfaced to a prognostic microphysics scheme using a Monte Carlo sampling method. The PDF parameterization is used to simulate tropical deep convection, the transition from shallow to deep convection over land, and midlatitude deep convection. These parameterized single-column simulations are compared with 3-D reference simulations. The agreement is satisfactory except when the convective forcing is weak. The same PDF parameterization is also used to simulate shallow cumulus and stratocumulus layers. The PDF method is sufficiently general to adequately simulate these five deep, shallow, and stratiform cloud cases with a single equation set. This raises hopes that it may be possible in the future, with further refinements at coarse time step and grid spacing, to parameterize all cloud types in a large-scale model in a unified way.

TI A new Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project (GeoMIP) experiment designed for climate and chemistry models SO GEOSCIENTIFIC MODEL DEVELOPMENT LA English DT Article ID SOLAR IRRADIANCE REDUCTION; VOLCANIC-ERUPTIONS; IMPACT; CIRCULATION; SULFUR AB A new Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project (GeoMIP) experiment "G4 specified stratospheric aerosols" (short name: G4SSA) is proposed to investigate the impact of stratospheric aerosol geoengineering on atmosphere, chemistry, dynamics, climate, and the environment. In contrast to the earlier G4 GeoMIP experiment, which requires an emission of sulfur dioxide (SO2) into the model, a prescribed aerosol forcing file is provided to the community, to be consistently applied to future model experiments between 2020 and 2100. This stratospheric aerosol distribution, with a total burden of about 2 Tg S has been derived using the ECHAM5-HAM microphysical model, based on a continuous annual tropical emission of 8 Tg SO2 yr(-1). A ramp-up of geoengineering in 2020 and a ramp-down in 2070 over a period of 2 years are included in the distribution, while a background aerosol burden should be used for the last 3 decades of the experiment. The performance of this experiment using climate and chemistry models in a multi-model comparison framework will allow us to better understand the impact of geoengineering and its abrupt termination after 50 years in a changing environment. The zonal and monthly mean stratospheric aerosol input data set is available at https://www2.acd.ucar.edu/gcm/geomip-g4-specified-stratospheric-aerosol-data-set. C1 [Tilmes, S.; Mills, M.

TI Assessing the nonlinear response of fine particles to precursor emissions: development and application of an extended response surface modeling technique v1.0 SO GEOSCIENTIFIC MODEL DEVELOPMENT LA English DT Article ID ADJOINT SENSITIVITY-ANALYSIS; YANGTZE-RIVER DELTA; AIR-QUALITY MODELS; PHOTOCHEMICAL MODELS; INORGANIC AEROSOLS; CONTROL STRATEGIES; OZONE CONTROL; HIGH-ORDER; CHINA; POLLUTION AB An innovative extended response surface modeling technique (ERSM v1.0) is developed to characterize the nonlinear response of fine particles (PM2.5) to large and simultaneous changes of multiple precursor emissions from multiple regions and sectors. The ERSM technique is developed based on the conventional response surface modeling (RSM) technique; it first quantifies the relationship between PM2.5 concentrations and the emissions of gaseous precursors from each single region using the conventional RSM technique, and then assesses the effects of inter-regional transport of PM2.5 and its gaseous precursors on PM2.5 concentrations in the target region. We apply this novel technique with a widely used regional chemical transport model (CTM) over the Yangtze River delta (YRD) region of China, and evaluate the response of PM2.5 and its inorganic components to the emissions of 36 pollutant-region-sector combinations. The predicted PM2.5 concentrations agree well with independent CTM simulations; the correlation coefficients are larger than 0.98 and 0.99, and the mean normalized errors (MNEs) are less than 1 and 2% for January and August, respectively. It is also demonstrated that the ERSM technique could reproduce fairly well the response of PM2.5 to continuous changes of precursor emission levels between zero and 150 %. Employing this new technique, we identify the major sources contributing to PM2.5 and its inorganic components in the YRD region. The nonlinearity in the response of PM2.5 to emission changes is characterized and the underlying chemical processes are illustrated. C1 [Zhao, B.; Wang, S. X.; Fu, K.; Wu, W. J.; Wang, J.

A dual-isotope approach SO HYDROLOGY AND EARTH SYSTEM SCIENCES LA English DT Article ID CAROLINA COASTAL-PLAIN; RUNOFF GENERATION; SURFACE-WATER; STORM RUNOFF; HEADWATER CATCHMENT; CANADIAN SHIELD; RIPARIAN ZONES; STABLE-ISOTOPE; BOREAL PLAIN; FRESH-WATER AB The time and geographic sources of streamwater in low-relief watersheds are poorly understood. This is partly due to the difficult combination of low runoff coefficients and often damped streamwater isotopic signals precluding traditional hydrograph separation and convolution integral approaches. Here we present a dual-isotope approach involving O-18 and H-2 of water in a low-angle forested watershed to determine streamwater source components and then build a conceptual model of streamflow generation. We focus on three headwater lowland sub-catchments draining the Savannah River Site in South Carolina, USA. Our results for a 3-year sampling period show that the slopes of the meteoric water lines/evaporation water lines (MWLs/EWLs) of the catchment water sources can be used to extract information on runoff sources in ways not considered before. Our dual-isotope approach was able to identify unique hillslope, riparian and deep groundwater, and streamflow compositions. The streams showed strong evaporative enrichment compared to the local meteoric water line (delta H-2 = 7.15 center dot delta O-18 + 9.28 parts per thousand) with slopes of 2.52, 2.84, and 2.86. Based on the unique and unambiguous slopes of the EWLs of the different water cycle components and the isotopic time series of the individual components, we were able to show how the riparian zone controls baseflow in this system and how the riparian zone "resets" the stable isotope composition of the observed streams in our low-angle, forested watersheds. Although this approach is limited in terms of quantifying mixing percentages between different end-members, our dual-isotope approach enabled the extraction of hydrologically useful information in a region with little change in individual isotope time series.

The fluorescence spectra of tri- to deca-BDE (BDE 28, 47, 99, 153, 190, and 209) commonly found in environment were measured at variable emission and excitation wavelengths. The results revealed that the PBDEs have distinct fluorescence spectral profiles and peak positions that can be exploited to identify these species and determine their concentrations in aqueous solutions. The detection limits as determined in deionized water spiked with PBDEs are 1.71-5.82 ng/L for BDE 28, BDE 47, BDE 190, and BDE 209 and 45.55-69.95 ng/L for BDE 99 and BDE 153. The effects of environmental variables including pH, humic substance, and groundwater chemical composition on PBDEs measurements were also investigated. These environmental variables affected fluorescence intensity, but their effect can be corrected through linear additivity and separation of spectral signal contribution. Compared with conventional GC-based analytical methods, the fluorescence spectroscopy method is more efficient as it only uses a small amount of samples (2-4 mL), avoids lengthy complicated concentration and extraction steps, and has a low detection limit of a few ng/L.

The results obtained for dimers and trimers of different geometry reveal a complex electronic structure, which includes locally excited, charge transfer, and multiexciton states. For singlets of single-excitation character, both approaches yield excitation energies that are in good overall quantitative agreement. While the multiexciton states are located relatively high in energy in all systems investigated, charge transfer states exist in close proximity to the lowest-lying absorbing states. The implications of the results for the mechanisms of singlet fission in pentacene are discussed.

TI Influence of the Density Functional and Basis Set on the Relative Stabilities of Oxygenated Isomers of Diiron Models for the Active Site of [FeFe]-Hydrogenase SO JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL THEORY AND COMPUTATION LA English DT Article ID EFFECTIVE CORE POTENTIALS; CORRELATED MOLECULAR CALCULATIONS; GAUSSIAN-BASIS SETS; GENERALIZED GRADIENT APPROXIMATION; TRANSITION-METAL-COMPLEXES; NONCOVALENT INTERACTIONS; THERMOCHEMICAL KINETICS; EXACT-EXCHANGE; ADJUSTABLE-PARAMETERS; CORRELATION-ENERGY AB A series of different density functional theory (DFT) methodologies (24 functionals) in conjunction with a variety of six different basis sets (BSs) was employed to investigate the relative stabilities in the oxygenated isomers of diiron complexes that mimic the active site of [FeFe]-hydrogenase: (mu-pdt)[Fe(CO)(2)L][Fe(CO)(2)L'] (pdt = propane-1,3-dithiolate; L = L' = CO (1); L = PPh3, L' = CO (2); L = PMe3, L' = CO (3); L = L' = PMe3 (4). Although the enzyme may have a variety of possible sites for oxygenation, the model complexes would necessarily be oxygenated at either the diiron bridging site (mu-O) or at a sulfur (SO). Previous DFT studies with both B3LYP and TPSS functionals predicted a more stable mu-O isomer, whereas only the SO isomer was observed experimentally (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2009, 131, 8296-8307). Here, further calculations reveal that the relative stabilities of the SO and mu-O isomers are extremely sensitive to the choice of the functional, moderately sensitive to the S basis set, but not to the Fe basis set. The relative free energies [Gsolv(mu-O) - Gsolv(SO)] range from +10 to -60 kcal/mol, a range much larger than what would have been expected on the basis of the previous DFT results. Benchmarking of these results against coupled cluster with single and double excitation calculations, which predict that the SO isomer is favored, shows that the best performing functionals are BP86 and PBE0, while B97-D, M05, and SVWN overestimate and B2PLYP, BH&HLYP, BMK, M06-HF, and M06-2X underestimate the energy differences. Most of the variation occurs with the mu-O isomer and appears to be associated with a functionals ability to predict the strength of the Fe-Fe bond in the reactant. With respect to the S basis set, it appears that the S-O bond is sensitive to the nature of the d polarization functions available on the S atom. The S seems to need a d function more diffuse than the d orbital optimized to provide polarization for the S atom alone; that is, S seems to need a d orbital that has strong overlap with the O atoms valence 2p. Other basis functions and the relative position of the PR3 (R = Ph and Me) substituent groups have smaller influences on the free energy differences.

As with other large-scale dynamic processes in biology and materials science, understanding the details of this supramolecular assembly process requires a modeling approach that captures behavior on a wide range of length and time scales, from those on which individual side chains fluctuate to those on which assemblies of polymers evolve. Here, we demonstrate that a new coarse-grained modeling approach is accurate and computationally efficient enough to do so. Our approach uses only a minimal number of coarse-grained sites but retains independently fluctuating orientational degrees of freedom for each site. These orientational degrees of freedom allow us to accurately parametrize both bonded and nonbonded interactions and to generate all-atom configurations with sufficient accuracy to perform atomic scattering calculations and to interface with all-atom simulations. We have used this approach to reproduce all available experimental X-ray scattering data (for stacked nanosheets and for peptoids adsorbed at airwater interfaces and in solution), in order to resolve the microscopic, real-space structures responsible for these Fourier-space features. By interfacing with all-atom simulations, we have also laid the foundation for future multiscale simulations of sequence-specific polymers that communicate in both directions across scales.

We apply this formalism to rederive the optimal quadratic estimator and show how the replacement of the second derivative matrix with the Fisher matrix is a generic way of creating an unbiased estimator (assuming choice of the fiducial model is independent of data). Next we apply the approach to estimation of shear lensing, closely following the work of Bernstein and Armstrong (2014). Our first order estimator reduces to their estimator in the limit of zero shear, but it also naturally allows for the case of non-constant shear and the easy calculation of correlation functions or power spectra using standard methods. Both our first-order estimator and Bernstein and Armstrong's estimator exhibit a bias which is quadratic in true shear. Our third-order estimator is, at least in the realm of the toy problem of Bernstein and Armstrong, unbiased to 0.1% in relative shear errors Delta g/g for shears up to vertical bar g vertical bar = 0.2.

For both samples, photoelectron spectra show a well-formed series of electronic states near the vacuum level. These are assigned as the I <= n <= 4 image-potential states (IPS's) based on the scaling of their binding energies and lifetimes. Time domain measurements at energies near the vacuum level exhibit intensity oscillations (quantum beats) which are due to excitation of an electronic wave packet of the n >= 4 IPS's. The wave packets remain coherent until population decay renders them unobservable. These measurements clearly demonstrate that the classical image-potential state structure is retained to high order (n similar to 6) in the presence of aromatic organic adlayers. This represents the first definitive observation via TPPE of quantum beats of electronic origin at the metal/organic interface. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The orientations of individual crystals and crystals across the fracture plane were measured on polished steel and iron alloy surfaces using Electron Backscattered Diffraction/ Orientation Imaging Microscopy (EBSD/OIM). This investigation examined crystallographic characteristics within a metal. This study showed that for transgranular fracture, it is feasible that pieces of grains could be associated across the fracture surface with the difference in orientation between grains (misorientation) along a length sequence of grain orientations on one side of the fracture surface to associate the other side of a fracture surface. Regarding pair comparisons of crystals on fracture surfaces, it was estimated that the probability for an ordered sequence of six distinct oriented grains along a fracture surface to occur again is about 1 in 4.82 (10)(30) or 2.07 (10)(-31).

However, cellular sensitivity to ex vivo environments necessitates development of bio-nano interfaces which allow integration of cells into devices and maintain their desired functionality. In order to develop such an interface, the use of a novel Sol-Generating Chemical Vapor into Liquid (SG-CViL) deposition process for whole cell encapsulation in silica was explored. In SG-CViL, the high vapor pressure of tetramethyl orthosilicate (TMOS) is utilized to deliver silica into an aqueous medium, creating a silica sol. Cells are then mixed with the resulting silica sol, facilitating encapsulation of cells in silica while minimizing cell contact with the cytotoxic products of silica generating reactions (i.e. methanol), and reduce exposure of cells to compressive stresses induced from silica condensation reactions. Using SG-CVIL, Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae) engineered with an inducible beta galactosidase system were encapsulated in silica solids and remained both viable and responsive 29 days post encapsulation. By tuning SG-CViL parameters, thin layer silica deposition on mammalian HeLa and U87 human cancer cells was also achieved. The ability to encapsulate various cell types in either a multi cell (S. cerevisiae) or a thin layer (HeLa and U87 cells) fashion shows the promise of SG-CViL as an encapsulation strategy for generating cell-silica constructs with diverse functions for incorporation into devices for sensing, bioelectronics, biocatalysis, and biofuel applications.

Here, we successfully adapt a bioreactor-based protocol for the production of phage peptide libraries to the production of phage antibody libraries. The titers obtained in the stirred-tank bioreactor are 4 to 5times higher than in a standard shake flask procedure, and the quality of the phage antibody library produced is indistinguishable to that produced using standard procedures as assessed by Western blotting and functional selections. Availability of this protocol will facilitate the use of phage antibody libraries in high-throughput scale selections. C1 [Ferrara, Fortunato] New Mexico Consortium, Los Alamos, NM 87544 USA.

Here, we show that high-quality recombinant polyclonals, in which hundreds of different antibodies are all directed toward a target of interest, can be easily generated in vitro by combining phage and yeast display. We show that, unlike traditional polyclonals, which are limited resources, recombinant polyclonal antibodies can be amplified over one hundred million-fold without losing representation or functionality. Our protocol was tested on 9 different targets to demonstrate how the strategy allows the selective amplification of antibodies directed toward desirable target specific epitopes, such as those found in one protein but not a closely related one, and the elimination of antibodies recognizing common epitopes, without significant loss of diversity. These recombinant renewable polyclonal antibodies are usable in different assays, and can be generated in high throughput. This approach could potentially be used to develop highly specific recombinant renewable antibodies against all human gene products.

As chromia-forming alloys and Ni-containing alloys are both undesirable for this application, the focus has been on FeCrAl, although NiAl was used to evaluate the effect of steam oxidation at 1600 degrees C for this study. For commercial and model FeCrAlY alloys, a critical Cr-Al composition was identified for 1 bar isothermal steam (100% H2O) oxidation resistance at 1200 degrees C, which differed for exposures in Ar-50% H2O at the same temperature. Alloys with lower Cr and Al contents were not able to form a protective alumina scale under these conditions. To simulate the accident scenario, exposures were also conducted in steam with the temperature rising 5 degrees C min(-1) to 1500 degrees C for the most oxidation resistant alloys. Using thermogravimetry, the maximum use temperature for candidate alloys was determined for different Cr and Al contents. Minor additions such as Y and Ti appeared to be beneficial for oxidation resistance. Similar to prior studies, alumina scales formed in air and in steam appeared to have only subtle differences in microstructure. C1 [Pint, B. A.; Unocic, K. A.; Terrani, K.

The as extruded microstructure was characterised including the oxide particle composition and size distribution. The 700 degrees C Pb-Li compatibility was evaluated for a fusion energy application and the steam oxidation resistance at 1200 degrees C and higher temperatures was evaluated for a nuclear accident tolerant fuel cladding application. The alloy prepared with only a Y2O3 addition contained some low Al regions and did not perform well, but provided a baseline for comparison. The other alloys contained sufficient Cr and Al to form a protective LiAlO2 surface oxide, which inhibits dissolution in isothermal Pb-Li. Also, a protective alpha-Al2O3 scale formed in steam oxidation at 1200 degrees C, similar to the scale formed in dry air at 1200 degrees C. For the alloy with HfO2, the scale remained protective to 1475 degrees C in steam. C1 [Unocic, K. A.; Hoelzer, D. T.; Pint, B. A.] Oak Ridge Natl Lab, Mat Sci & Technol Div, Oak Ridge, TN 37831 USA.

TI Type Ia supernova spectral features in the context of their host galaxy properties SO MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article DE circumstellar matter; supernovae: general; distance scale ID HIGH-VELOCITY FEATURES; DIGITAL SKY SURVEY; MASS-METALLICITY RELATION; HUBBLE-SPACE-TELESCOPE; STAR-FORMING GALAXIES; SDSS-II; CIRCUMSTELLAR INTERACTION; COSMOLOGICAL CONSTRAINTS; RESOLUTION SPECTROGRAPH; SPECTROSCOPIC DIVERSITY AB We analyse spectroscopic measurements of 122 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) with z < 0.09 discovered by the Palomar Transient Factory, focusing on the properties of the Si II lambda 6355 and Ca II 'near-infrared triplet' absorptions. We examine the velocities of the photospheric Si II lambda 6355, and the velocities and strengths of the photospheric and high-velocity Ca II, in the context of the stellar mass (M-stellar) and star formation rate (SFR) of the SN host galaxies, as well as the position of the SN within its host. We find that SNe Ia with faster Si II lambda 6355 tend to explode in more massive galaxies, with the highest velocity events only occurring in galaxies with M-stellar > 3 x 10(9) M-circle dot. We also find some evidence that these highest velocity SNe Ia explode in the inner regions of their host galaxies, similar to the study of Wang et al., although the trend is not as significant in our data. We show that these trends are consistent with some SN Ia spectral models, if the host galaxy stellar mass is interpreted as a proxy for host galaxy metallicity. We study the strength of the high-velocity component of the Ca II near-IR absorption, and show that SNe Ia with stronger high-velocity components relative to photospheric components are hosted by galaxies with low M-stellar, blue colour, and a high sSFR. Such SNe are therefore likely to arise from the youngest progenitor systems. This argues against a pure orientation effect being responsible for high-velocity features in SN Ia spectra and, when combined with other studies, is consistent with a scenario where high-velocity features are related to an interaction between the SN ejecta and circumstellar medium local to the SN.

TI Velocity bias from the small-scale clustering of SDSS-III BOSS galaxies SO MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article DE galaxies: distances and redshifts; galaxies: haloes; galaxies: statistics; cosmology: observations; cosmology: theory; large-scale structure of Universe ID OSCILLATION SPECTROSCOPIC SURVEY; HALO OCCUPATION DISTRIBUTION; DIGITAL SKY SURVEY; REDSHIFT-SPACE DISTORTIONS; DARK-MATTER HALOES; MEAN MASS DENSITY; GROWTH-RATE; X-RAY; POWER SPECTRUM; GRAVITATIONAL LENSES AB We present the measurements and modelling of the projected and redshift-space clustering of CMASS galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey Data Release 11. For a volume-limited luminous red galaxy sample in the redshift range of 0.48 < z < 0.55, we perform halo occupation distribution modelling of the small- and intermediate-scale (0.1-60 h(-1) Mpc) projected and redshift-space two-point correlation functions, with an accurate model built on high-resolution N-body simulations. To interpret the measured redshift-space distortions, the distribution of galaxy velocities must differ from that of the dark matter inside haloes of similar to 10(13)-10(14) h(-1) M-circle dot, i.e. the data require the existence of galaxy velocity bias. Most notably, central galaxies on average are not at rest with respect to the core of their host haloes, but rather move around it with a 1D velocity dispersion of 0.22(-0.04)(+0.03) times that of the dark matter, implying a spatial offset from the centre at the level of less than or similar to 1 per cent of the halo virial radius. The luminous satellite galaxies move more slowly than the dark matter, with velocities 0.86(-0.03)(+0.08) times those of the dark matter, which suggests that the velocity and spatial distributions of these satellites cannot both be unbiased. The constraints mainly arise from the Fingers-of-God effect at non-linear scales and the smoothing to the Kaiser effect in the translinear regime; the robustness of the results is demonstrated by a variety of tests. We discuss the implications of the existence of galaxy velocity bias for investigations of galaxy formation and cosmology.

TI Predicting galaxy star formation rates via the co-evolution of galaxies and haloes SO MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article DE galaxies: evolution; galaxies: haloes; galaxies: star formation; cosmology: theory; dark matter ID DIGITAL SKY SURVEY; DARK-MATTER HALOS; BAND OPTICAL-PROPERTIES; SDSS REDSHIFT SURVEY; SIMILAR-TO 1; STELLAR MASS; SATELLITE GALAXIES; OCCUPATION DISTRIBUTION; FORMATION HISTORIES; RED SEQUENCE AB In this paper, we test the age matching hypothesis that the star formation rate (SFR) of a galaxy of fixed stellar mass is determined by its dark matter halo formation history, e.g. more quiescent galaxies reside in older haloes. We present new Sloan Digital Sky Survey measurements of the galaxy two-point correlation function and galaxy-galaxy lensing as a function of stellar mass and SFR, separated into quenched and star-forming galaxy samples to test this simple model. We find that our age matching model is in excellent agreement with these new measurements. We also find that our model is able to predict: (1) the relative SFRs of central and satellite galaxies, (2) the SFR dependence of the radial distribution of satellite galaxy populations within galaxy groups, rich groups, and clusters and their surrounding larger scale environments, and (3) the interesting feature that the satellite quenched fraction as a function of projected radial distance from the central galaxy exhibits an similar to r(-.15) slope, independent of environment. These accurate predictions are intriguing given that we do not explicitly model satellite-specific processes after infall, and that in our model the virial radius does not mark a special transition region in the evolution of a satellite. The success of the model suggests that present-day galaxy SFR is strongly correlated with halo mass assembly history.

The ejected material contributes to a radioactively powered electromagnetic transient, with properties that depend sensitively on the composition of the outflow. Here, we investigate how the spin of the black hole (BH) remnant influences mass ejection on the thermal and viscous time-scales. We carry out two-dimensional, time-dependent hydrodynamic simulations of merger remnant accretion discs including viscous angular momentum transport and approximate neutrino self-irradiation. The gravity of the spinning BH is included via a pseudo-Newtonian potential. We find that a disc around a spinning BH ejects more mass, up to a factor of several, relative to the non-spinning case. The enhanced mass-loss is due to energy release by accretion occurring deeper in the gravitational potential, raising the disc temperature and hence the rate of viscous heating in regions where neutrino cooling is ineffective. The mean electron fraction of the outflow increases moderately with BH spin due to a highly irradiated (though not neutrino-driven) wind component. While the bulk of the ejecta is still very neutron-rich, thus generating heavy r-process elements, the leading edge of the wind contains a small amount of Lanthanide-free material. This component can give rise to an less than or similar to 1 d blue optical 'bump' in a kilonova light curve, even in the case of prompt BH formation, which may facilitate its detection.

Most of the ejecta remains sufficiently dense during its expansion that all neutrons are captured into nuclei during the r-process. However, recent general relativistic merger simulations by Bauswein and collaborators show that a small fraction of the ejected mass (a fewper cent, or similar to 10(-4)M(circle dot)) expands sufficiently rapidly for most neutrons to avoid capture. This matter originates from the shocked-heated interface between the merging NSs. Here, we show that the beta-decay of these free neutrons in the outermost ejecta powers a 'precursor' to the main kilonova emission, which peaks on a time-scale of similar to few hours following merger at U-band magnitude similar to 22 (for an assumed distance of 200 Mpc). The high luminosity and blue colours of the neutron precursor render it a potentially important counterpart to the gravitational wave source, that may encode valuable information on the properties of the merging binary (e.g. NS-NS versus NS-black hole) and the NS equation of state. Future work is necessary to assess the robustness of the fast-moving ejecta and the survival of free neutrons in the face of neutrino absorptions, although the precursor properties are robust to a moderate amount of leptonization. Our results provide additional motivation for short latency gravitational wave triggers and rapid follow-up searches with sensitive ground-based telescopes.

Ex situ nanoscale IR imaging provides direct evidence for the coexistence of LiFePO4 and FePO4 phases in partially delithiated single-crystal microparticles. A quantitative three-dimensional tomographic reconstruction of the phase distribution within a single microcrystal provides new insights into the phase transformation and/or relaxation mechanism, revealing a FePO4 shell surrounding a diamond-shaped LiFePO4 inner core, gradually shrinking in size and vanishing upon delithiation of the crystal. The observed phase propagation pattern supports recent functional models of LiFePO4 operation relating electrochemical performance to material design. This work demonstrates the remarkable potential of near-field optical techniques for the characterization of electrochemical materials and interfaces. C1 [Lucas, I. T.; Syzdek, J.

The coreshells were grown around polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) coated NPs (Stober encapsulation) prepared by colloidal synthesis. Sum frequency generation (SFG) vibrational spectroscopy was performed to correlate surface intermediates observed in situ with reaction selectivity. It is shown that calcination is effective in removing PVP, and the SFG signal can be generated from the metal surface. Using SFG, it is possible to compare the surface vibrational spectrum of Pt@SiO2 (1,3-BD is hydrogenated through multiple paths and produces butane, 1-butene, and cis/trans-2-butene) to Pd@SiO2 (1,3-BD favors one path and produces 1-butene and cis/trans-2-butene). In contrast to Pt@SiO2 and Pd@SiO2, SFG and kinetic experiments of Rh@SiO2 show a permanent accumulation of organic material.

Here we used Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) to study the work function (WF) of gold nanoparticles (NPs) deposited on a Si wafer covered by a monolayer of alkyl chains, which provide a tunnel junction. We find that the WF of Au NPs is size-dependent and deviates strongly from that of the bulk Au. We attribute the WF change to the charging of the NPs, which is a consequence of the difference in WF between Au and the substrate. For an NP with 10 nm diameter charged with similar to 5 electrons, the WF is found to be only similar to 3.6 eV. A classical electrostatic model is derived that explains the observations in a quantitative way. We also demonstrate that the WF and charge state of Au NPs are influenced by chemical changes of the underlying substrate. Therefore, Au NPs could be used for chemical and biological sensing, whose environmentally sensitive charge state can be read out by work function measurements.

Here, we report organic thin film transistors based on vertical heterojunctions of graphene and organic semiconductors. In these thin heterostructure devices, current modulation is accomplished by tuning of the injection barriers at the semiconductor/graphene interface with the application of a gate voltage. N-channel devices fabricated with a thin layer of C-60 show a room temperature on/off ratio >10(4) and current density of up to 44 mAcm(2). Because of the ultrashort channel intrinsic to the vertical structure, the device is fully operational at a driving voltage of 200 mV. A complementary p-channel device is also investigated, and a logic inverter based on two complementary transistors is demonstrated. The vertical integration of graphene with organic semiconductors via simple, scalable, and low-temperature fabrication processes opens up new opportunities to realize flexible, transparent organic electronic, and optoelectronic devices.

This dual characteristic is reflected in the density of states (DOS), which is thus the key quantity describing the electronic structures of nanowires, central to the analysis of electronic transport and spectroscopy. By comparing the DOS derived from the widely used standard model, the effective mass approximation (EMA) in single parabolic band mode, with that from direct atomistic pseudopotential theory calculations for GaAs and InAs nanowires, we uncover significant qualitative and quantitative shortcomings of the standard description. In the EMA description the nanowire DOS is rendered as a series of sharply rising peaks having slowly decaying tails, with characteristic peak height and spacing, all being classifiable in the language of atomic orbital momenta 1S, 1P, 1D, etc. Herein we find in the thinner nanowires that the picture changes significantly in that not only does the profile of each DOS peak lose its pronounced asymmetry, with significant changes in peak width, height, and spacing, but also the origin of the high-energy peaks changes fundamentally: below some critical diameter, the region of atomic orbital momentum classified states is occupied by a new set of DOS peaks folded-in from other non-G-valleys. We describe explicitly how distinct physical effects beyond the conventional EMA model contribute to these realistic DOS features. These results represent a significant step toward understanding the intriguing electronic structure of nanowires reflecting the coexistence of discrete and continuum states. Experimental examinations of the predicted novel DOS features are called for. C1 [Wang, Jianping; Zhang, Lijun; Zunger, Alex] Univ Colorado, Boulder, CO 80309 USA.

TI Orientation-Dependent Growth Mechanisms of Graphene Islands on Ir(111) SO NANO LETTERS LA English DT Article DE Graphene; crystal growth; kinks; low-energy electron microscopy; rotational variants ID SINGLE-CRYSTAL GRAPHENE; DER-WAALS EPITAXY; CARBON AB Using low-energy electron microscopy, we find that the mechanisms of graphene growth on Ir(111) depend sensitively on island orientation with respect to Ir. In the temperature range of 750-900 degrees C, we observe that growing rotated islands are more faceted than islands aligned with the substrate. Further, the growth velocity of rotated islands depends not only on the C adatom supersaturation but also on the geometry of the island edge. We deduce that the growth of rotated islands is kink-nucleation-limited, whereas aligned islands are kink-advancement-limited. These different growth mechanisms are attributed to differences in the graphene edge binding strength to the substrate. C1 [Rogge, P. C.; Dubon, O.

This THz metasurface, made of periodic gold slit arrays, shows near unity broadband transmission, which arises from coherent radiation of the enhanced local-field in the slits. Utilizing graphene as an active load with tunable conductivity, we can significantly modify the local-field enhancement and strongly modulate the THz wave transmission. This hybrid device also provides a new platform for future nonlinear THz spectroscopy study of graphene. C1 [Shi, S. -F.; Zeng, B.; Han, H. -L.; Hong, X.; Tsai, H. -Z.; Jung, H.

The fixed positive charges in SiNx, arising from Si+=N-3 dangling bonds induce strong field-effect doping of underlying nanotubes. Specifically, an electron doping density of similar to 10(20) cm(3) is estimated from capacitance voltage measurements of the fixed charge within the SiNx. This high doping concentration results in thinning of the Schottky barrier widths at the nanotube/metal contacts, thus allowing for efficient injection of electrons by tunnelling. As a proof-of-concept, n-type thin-film transistors using random networks of semiconductor-enriched nanotubes are presented with an electron mobility of similar to 10 cm(2)/V s, which is comparable to the hole mobility of as-made p-type devices. The devices are highly stable without any noticeable change in the electrical properties upon exposure to ambient air for 30 days. Furthermore, the devices exhibit high uniformity over large areas, which is an important requirement for use in practical applications. The work presents a robust approach for physicochemical doping of carbon nanotubes by relying on field-effect rather than a charge transfer mechanism.

However, the functionality of conventional semiconductor heterostructures is often limited by inefficient charge transfer across interfaces due to the interfacial imperfection caused by lattice mismatch. Here we demonstrate that MoS2/WS2 heterostructures consisting of monolayer MoS2 and WS2 stacked in the vertical direction can enable equally efficient interlayer exciton relaxation regardless the epitaxy and orientation of the stacking. This is manifested by a similar 2 orders of magnitude decrease of photoluminescence intensity in both epitaxial and nonepitaxial MoS2/WS2 heterostructures. Both heterostructures also show similarly improved absorption beyond the simple superimposition of the absorptions of monolayer MoS2 and WS2. Our result indicates that 2D heterostructures bear significant implications for the development of photonic devices, in particular those requesting efficient exciton separation and strong light absorption, such as solar cells, photodetectors, modulators, and photocatalysts. It also suggests that the simple stacking of dissimilar 2D materials with random orientations is a viable strategy to fabricate complex functional 2D heterostructures, which would show similar optical functionality as the counterpart with perfect epitaxy.

However, understanding such evolution at atomic level remains elusive. On the basis of atomic level structural imaging, elemental mapping of the pristine and cycled samples, and density functional theory calculations, it is found that accompanying the hoping of Li ions is the simultaneous migration of Ni ions toward the surface from the bulk lattice, leading to the gradual depletion of Ni in the bulk lattice and thickening of a Ni enriched surface reconstruction layer (SRL). Furthermore, Ni and Mn also exhibit concentration partitions within the thin layer of SRL in the cycled samples where Ni is almost depleted at the very surface of the SRL, indicating the preferential dissolution of Ni ions in the electrolyte. Accompanying the elemental composition evolution, significant structural evolution is also observed and identified as a sequential phase transition of C2/m -> I41 -> Spinel. For the first time, it is found that the surface facet terminated with pure cation/anion is more stable than that with a mixture of cation and anion. These findings firmly established how the elemental species in the lattice of LMR cathode transfer from the bulk lattice to surface layer and further into the electrolyte, clarifying the long-standing confusion and debate on the structure and chemistry of the surface layer and their correlation with the voltage fading and capacity decaying of LMR cathode. Therefore, this work provides critical insights for design of cathode materials with both high capacity and voltage stability during cycling.

Lithographic processes involved in device fabrication and substrate interfaces can lead to surface defects and substantially reduce charge carrier lifetimes and diffusion lengths. Here, we show that using a bridging method to suspend pristine nanowires allows for circumventing detrimental fabrication steps and interfacial effects associated with planar device architectures. We report electron diffusion lengths up to 2.7 mu m in bridged silicon nanowire devices, much longer than previously reported values for silicon nanowires with a diameter of 100 nm. Strikingly, electron diffusion lengths are reduced to only 45 nm in planar devices incorporating nanowires grown under the same conditions. The highly scalable silicon nanobridge devices with the demonstrated long diffusion lengths may find exciting applications in photovoltaics, sensing, and photodetectors.

In layered LixNi2-4x/3Sb(x/3)O(2) (x = 1.00-1.15), lithium excess improves both discharge capacity and capacity retention at 1C. Structural studies reveal a complex nanostructure pattern of Li-Sb and Ni-Sb ordering where the interface between these domains forms the correct local configuration for good lithium mobility. The <1 nm Li-Sb stripe domains and their interfaces thereby effectively act as nanohighways for lithium diffusion.

With this purpose, developing high-performance cathode materials is urgently needed. Here we report an easy and versatile strategy to fabricate high-rate and cycling-stable hierarchical sphered cathode Li1.2Ni0.13Mn0.54Co0.13O2, by using an ionic interfusion method. The sphere-shaped hierarchical cathode is assembled with primary nanoplates with enhanced growth of nanocrystal planes in favor of Li+ intercalation/deintercalation, such as (010), (100), and (110) planes. This material with such unique structural features exhibits outstanding rate capability, cyclability, and high discharge capacities, achieving around 70% (175 mAh g(-1)) of the capacity at 0.1 C rate within about 2.1 min of ultrafast charging. Such cathode is feasible to construct high-energy and high-power Li-ion batteries.

TI Self-assembly and electrostriction of arrays and chains of hopfion particles in chiral liquid crystals SO NATURE COMMUNICATIONS LA English DT Article ID ANISOTROPIC FLUIDS; COLLOIDAL CRYSTALS; VORTEX RINGS; KNOTS; SKYRMION; DEFECTS; DIFFRACTION; MICROSCOPY; MATTER; FIELD AB Some of the most exotic condensed matter phases, such as twist grain boundary and blue phases in liquid crystals and Abrikosov phases in superconductors, contain arrays of topological defects in their ground state. Comprised of a triangular lattice of double-twist tubes of magnetization, the so-called 'A-phase' in chiral magnets is an example of a thermodynamically stable phase with topologically nontrivial solitonic field configurations referred to as two-dimensional skyrmions, or baby-skyrmions. Here we report that three-dimensional skyrmions in the form of double-twist tori called 'hopfions', or 'torons' when accompanied by additional self-compensating defects, self-assemble into periodic arrays and linear chains that exhibit electrostriction. In confined chiral nematic liquid crystals, this self-assembly is similar to that of liquid crystal colloids and originates from long-range elastic interactions between particle-like skyrmionic torus knots of molecular alignment field, which can be tuned from isotropic repulsive to weakly or highly anisotropic attractive by low-voltage electric fields.

How XPC detects structurally diverse lesions embedded within normal DNA is unknown. Here we present a crystal structure that captures the yeast XPC orthologue (Rad4) on a single register of undamaged DNA. The structure shows that a disulphide-tethered Rad4 flips out normal nucleotides and adopts a conformation similar to that seen with damaged DNA. Contrary to many DNA repair enzymes that can directly reject non-target sites as structural misfits, our results suggest that Rad4/XPC uses a kinetic gating mechanism whereby lesion selectivity arises from the kinetic competition between DNA opening and the residence time of Rad4/XPC per site. This mechanism is further supported by measurements of Rad4-induced lesion-opening times using temperature-jump perturbation spectroscopy. Kinetic gating may be a general mechanism used by site-specific DNA-binding proteins to minimize time-consuming interrogations of non-target sites.

There is a growing consensus that emerging properties at these novel quantum wells-such as 2D superconductivity and magnetism-are intimately connected to specific orbital symmetries in the 2DEG sub-band structure. Here we show that crystal orientation allows selective orbital occupancy, disclosing unprecedented ways to tailor the 2DEG properties. By carrying out electrostatic gating experiments in LaAlO3/SrTiO3 wells of different crystal orientations, we show that the spatial extension and anisotropy of the 2D superconductivity and the Rashba spin-orbit field can be largely modulated by controlling the 2DEG sub-band filling. Such an orientational tuning expands the possibilities for electronic engineering of 2DEGs at LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interfaces.

There are several aldehydic intermediates in the metabolic pathway for tryptophan degradation that can decay into neuroactive compounds that have been associated with numerous neurological diseases. An enzyme of this pathway, 2-aminomuconate-6-semialdehyde dehydrogenase, is responsible for 'disarming' the final aldehydic intermediate. Here we show the crystal structures of a bacterial analogue enzyme in five catalytically relevant forms: resting state, one binary and two ternary complexes, and a covalent, thioacyl intermediate. We also report the crystal structures of a tetrahedral, thiohemiacetal intermediate, a thioacyl intermediate and an NAD(+)-bound complex from an active site mutant. These covalent intermediates are characterized by single-crystal and solution-state electronic absorption spectroscopy. The crystal structures reveal that the substrate undergoes an E/Z isomerization at the enzyme active site before an sp(3)-to-sp(2) transition during enzyme-mediated oxidation.

TI Large resistivity modulation in mixed-phase metallic systems SO NATURE COMMUNICATIONS LA English DT Article ID INITIO MOLECULAR-DYNAMICS; TOTAL-ENERGY CALCULATIONS; AUGMENTED-WAVE METHOD; VALENT MANGANITES; ROOM-TEMPERATURE; SINGLE-CRYSTALS; BASIS-SET; FERH; TRANSITION; STRAIN AB In numerous systems, giant physical responses have been discovered when two phases coexist; for example, near a phase transition. An intermetallic FeRh system undergoes a first-order antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic transition above room temperature and shows two-phase coexistence near the transition. Here we have investigated the effect of an electric field to FeRh/PMN-PT heterostructures and report 8% change in the electrical resistivity of FeRh films. Such a 'giant' electroresistance (GER) response is striking in metallic systems, in which external electric fields are screened, and thus only weakly influence the carrier concentrations and mobilities. We show that our FeRh films comprise coexisting ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic phases with different resistivities and the origin of the GER effect is the strain-mediated change in their relative proportions. The observed behaviour is reminiscent of colossal magnetoresistance in perovskite manganites and illustrates the role of mixed-phase coexistence in achieving large changes in physical properties with low-energy external perturbation.

TI Sub-50-nm self-assembled nanotextures for enhanced broadband antireflection in silicon solar cells SO NATURE COMMUNICATIONS LA English DT Article ID ABSORPTION ENHANCEMENT; BLOCK-COPOLYMERS; CHAMBER WALLS; NANOSTRUCTURES; DEPOSITION; SURFACES; COATINGS; FILMS; SI; REFLECTION AB Materials providing broadband light antireflection have applications as highly transparent window coatings, military camouflage, and coatings for efficiently coupling light into solar cells and out of light-emitting diodes. In this work, densely packed silicon nanotextures with feature sizes smaller than 50 nm enhance the broadband antireflection compared with that predicted by their geometry alone. A significant fraction of the nanotexture volume comprises a surface layer whose optical properties differ substantially from those of the bulk, providing the key to improved performance. The nanotexture reflectivity is quantitatively well-modelled after accounting for both its profile and changes in refractive index at the surface. We employ block copolymer self-assembly for precise and tunable nanotexture design in the range of similar to 10-70 nm across macroscopic solar cell areas. Implementing this efficient antireflection approach in crystalline silicon solar cells significantly betters the performance gain compared with an optimized, planar antireflection coating.

TI Deviation from high-entropy configurations in the atomic distributions of a multi-principal-element alloy SO NATURE COMMUNICATIONS LA English DT Article ID INITIO MOLECULAR-DYNAMICS; MECHANICAL-PROPERTIES; HIGH-STRENGTH; RANGE ORDER; BEHAVIOR; LIQUID; PHASE; MICROSTRUCTURE; IRON; DIFFRACTION AB The alloy-design strategy of combining multiple elements in near-equimolar ratios has shown great potential for producing exceptional engineering materials, often known as 'high-entropy alloys'. Understanding the elemental distribution, and, thus, the evolution of the configurational entropy during solidification, is undertaken in the present study using the Al1.3CoCr-CuFeNi model alloy. Here we show that, even when the material undergoes elemental segregation, precipitation, chemical ordering and spinodal decomposition, a significant amount of disorder remains, due to the distributions of multiple elements in the major phases. The results suggest that the high-entropy alloy-design strategy may be applied to a wide range of complex materials, and should not be limited to the goal of creating single-phase solid solutions.

Riboli, Elio CA The EPIC-InterAct Consortium TI Low-frequency and rare exome chip variants associate with fasting glucose and type 2 diabetes susceptibility SO NATURE COMMUNICATIONS LA English DT Article ID GLUCAGON-LIKE PEPTIDE-1; GENOME-WIDE ASSOCIATION; RECEPTOR GENE; TRIGLYCERIDE LEVELS; GERMLINE MUTATIONS; INSULIN-RESISTANCE; CODING VARIATION; GLYCEMIC TRAITS; SEQUENCING DATA; PLASMA-GLUCOSE AB Fasting glucose and insulin are intermediate traits for type 2 diabetes. Here we explore the role of coding variation on these traits by analysis of variants on the HumanExome BeadChip in 60,564 non-diabetic individuals and in 16,491 T2D cases and 81,877 controls. We identify a novel association of a low-frequency nonsynonymous SNV in GLP1R (A316T; rs10305492; MAF = 1.4%) with lower FG (beta = -0.09 +/- 0.01 mmol l(-1), P = 3.4 x 10(-12)), T2D risk (OR[95% CI] = 0.86[0.76-0.96], P = 0.010), early insulin secretion (beta = -0.07 +/- 0.035 pmol(insulin) mmol(glucose)(-1), P = 0.048), but higher 2-h glucose (beta = 0.16 +/- 0.05 mmol l(-1), P = 4.3 x 10(-4)). We identify a gene-based association with FG at G6PC2 (p(SKAT) = 6.8 x 10(-6)) driven by four rare protein-coding SNVs (H177Y, Y207S, R283X and S324P). We identify rs651007 (MAF = 20%) in the first intron of ABO at the putative promoter of an antisense lncRNA, associating with higher FG (beta = 0.02 +/- 0.004 mmol l(-1), P = 1.3 x 10(-8)). Our approach identifies novel coding variant associations and extends the allelic spectrum of variation underlying diabetes-related quantitative traits and T2D susceptibility.

TI Effects of toluene, acrolein and vinyl chloride on motor activity of Drosophila melanogaster SO NEUROTOXICOLOGY AND TERATOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Toxicity screening; Volatile organic compounds; Fruit fly; Sex difference; Narcosis ID VOLATILE ORGANIC-COMPOUNDS; GENOME-WIDE ASSOCIATION; GENETIC REFERENCE PANEL; ODOR-GUIDED BEHAVIOR; LOCOMOTOR-ACTIVITY; NATURAL VARIATION; OLFACTORY BEHAVIOR; ARCHITECTURE; COMMUNICATION; INHALATION AB The data generated by current high-throughput assays for chemical toxicity require information to link effects at molecular targets to adverse outcomes in whole animals. In addition, more efficient methods for testing volatile chemicals are needed. Here we begin to address these issues by determining the utility of measuring behavioral responses of Drosophila melanogaster to airborne volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as a potential model system for discovering adverse outcome pathways and as a method to test for toxicity. In these experiments, we measured motor activity in male and female flies to determine concentration-effect functions for three VOCs that differ in their mode of action: toluene, a narcotic; acrolein, an irritant; and vinyl chloride, a hepatocarcinogen. These experiments were conducted in Flyland, an outbred population of flies derived from 40 lines of the Drosophila Genetics Reference Panel (DGRP) (Mackay et al., 2012), in preparation for subsequent experiments with individual lines of the DGRP. Systematic, concentration-related changes in activity were observed with toluene, but not with acrolein; high concentrations of vinyl chloride reduced activity by a small amount. Despite higher activity levels in males than in females under control conditions, the sexes were equally sensitive to toluene. Transient increases in activity at the onset and offset of exposure to toluene and vinyl chloride suggested that the flies detected changes in air quality at concentrations that did not persistently suppress activity. The effects and potency of toluene are consistent with those observed in rodents. The lack of clear concentration-related changes in response to acrolein and vinyl chloride shows limitations of this method is for screening toxicity attributed to VOCs.

It is intended as an eventual replacement for the ENDF-6 format, and as such must be capable of handling at a minimum all the types of data supported by ENDF-6, including central values and covariances. Containers for storing covariances in GND are being developed, with the goal of representing covariance data in a simple and concise manner, that is easy to read, understand and use.

Criteria are also provided for accepting the "a posteriori" cross sections, both as new "nominal" values and as "trends". Some indications of the use of the "a posteriori" covariance matrix are indicated, even though more investigation is needed to settle this complex subject.

TI Advancing Inverse Sensitivity/Uncertainty Methods for Nuclear Fuel Cycle Applications SO NUCLEAR DATA SHEETS LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT International Workshop on Nuclear Data Covariances CY APR 28-MAY 01, 2014 CL Santa Fe, NM ID COVARIANCE DATA; UNCERTAINTY; SYSTEMS AB The inverse sensitivity/uncertainty quantification (IS/UQ) method has recently been implemented in the Inverse Sensitivity/UnceRtainty Estimator (INSURE) module of the AMPX cross section processing system [1]. The IS/UQ method aims to quantify and prioritize the cross section measurements along with uncertainties needed to yield a given nuclear application(s) target response uncertainty, and doing this at a minimum cost. Since in some cases the extant uncertainties of the differential cross section data are already near the limits of the present-day state-of-the-art measurements, requiring significantly smaller uncertainties may be unrealistic. Therefore, we have incorporated integral benchmark experiments (IBEs) data into the IS/UQ method using the generalized linear least-squares method, and have implemented it in the INSURE module. We show how the IS/UQ method could be applied to systematic and statistical uncertainties in a self-consistent way and how it could be used to optimize uncertainties of IBEs and differential cross section data simultaneously. We itemize contributions to the cost of differential data measurements needed to define a realistic cost function. C1 [Arbanas, G.; Williams, M. L.; Leal, L. C.; Dunn, M.

TI The Role of Uncertainty Quantification for Reactor Physics SO NUCLEAR DATA SHEETS LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT International Workshop on Nuclear Data Covariances CY APR 28-MAY 01, 2014 CL Santa Fe, NM AB The quantification of uncertainties is a crucial step in design. The comparison of a-priori uncertainties with the target accuracies, allows to define needs and priorities for uncertainty reduction. In view of their impact, the uncertainty analysis requires a reliability assessment of the uncertainty data used. The choice of the appropriate approach and the consistency of different approaches are discussed. C1 [Salvatores, M.; Palmiotti, G.] Idaho Natl Lab, Idaho Falls, ID 83415 USA.

The study provides some guidelines to the nuclear data evaluators on which materials and which reaction types need to be evaluated most accurately to achieve reliable results in computational analyses of similar systems.

TI Covariance Propagation in Spectral Indices SO NUCLEAR DATA SHEETS LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT International Workshop on Nuclear Data Covariances CY APR 28-MAY 01, 2014 CL Santa Fe, NM AB The dosimetry community has a history of using spectral indices to support neutron spectrum characterization and cross section validation efforts. An important aspect to this type of analysis is the proper consideration of the contribution of the spectrum uncertainty to the total uncertainty in calculated spectral indices (SIs). This paper identifies deficiencies in the traditional treatment of the SI uncertainty, provides simple bounds to the spectral component in the SI uncertainty estimates, verifies that these estimates are reflected in actual applications, details a methodology that rigorously captures the spectral contribution to the uncertainty in the SI, and provides quantified examples that demonstrate the importance of the proper treatment the spectral contribution to the uncertainty in the SI.

TI Thoughts on Sensitivity Analysis and Uncertainty Propagation Methods with Respect to the Prompt Fission Neutron Spectrum Impact on Critical Assemblies SO NUCLEAR DATA SHEETS LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT International Workshop on Nuclear Data Covariances CY APR 28-MAY 01, 2014 CL Santa Fe, NM ID NUCLEAR-DATA; QUANTIFICATION; COVARIANCES AB The prompt fission neutron spectrum (PFNS) uncertainties in the n+Pu-239 fission reaction are used to study the impact on several fast critical assemblies modeled in the MCNP6.1 code. The newly developed sensitivity capability in MCNP6.1 is used to compute the k(eff) sensitivity coefficients with respect to the PFNS. In comparison, the covariance matrix given in the ENDF/B-VII.1 library is decomposed and randomly sampled realizations of the PFNS are propagated through the criticality calculation, preserving the PFNS covariance matrix. The information gathered from both approaches, including the overall keff uncertainty, is statistically analyzed. Overall, the forward and backward approaches agree as expected. The results from a new method appear to be limited by the process used to evaluate the PFNS and is not necessarily a flaw of the method itself. Final thoughts and directions for future work are suggested. C1 Los Alamos Natl Lab, XCP Div 3, Los Alamos, NM 87545 USA.
