AB Reliable predictions of nuclear properties are needed as much to answer fundamental science questions as in applications such as reactor physics or data evaluation. Nuclear density functional theory is currently the only microscopic, global approach to nuclear structure that is applicable throughout the nuclear chart. In the past few years, a lot of effort has been devoted to setting up a general methodology to assess theoretical uncertainties in nuclear DFT calculations. In this paper, we summarize some of the recent progress in this direction. Most of the new material discussed here will be be published in separate articles.

AB Nuclear astrophysics and californium fission neutron spectrum averaged cross sections and their uncertainties for ENDF materials have been calculated. Absolute values were deduced with Maxwellian and Mannhart spectra, while uncertainties are based on ENDF/B-VII.1, JEFF-3.1.2, JENDL-4.0 and Low-Fidelity covariances. These quantities are compared with available data, independent benchmarks, EXFOR library, and analyzed for a wide range of cases. Recommendations for neutron cross section covariances are given and implications are discussed.

AB Neutron-induced fission cross sections have been measured for several isotopes of uranium and plutonium at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) over a wide range of incident neutron energies. The total uncertainties in these measurements are in the range 3-5% above 100 keV of incident neutron energy, which results from uncertainties in the target, neutron source, and detector system. The individual sources of uncertainties are assumed to be uncorrelated, however correlation in the cross section across neutron energy bins are considered. The quantification of the uncertainty contributions will be described here.

ID QUANTIFICATION; DETECTOR
AB New data on the prompt fission neutron spectra (PFNS) from neutron-induced fission with higher accuracies are needed to resolve discrepancies in the literature and to address gaps in the experimental data. The Chi-Nu project, conducted jointly by LANL and LLNL, aims to measure the shape of the PFNS for fission of Pu-239 induced by neutrons from 0.5 to 20 MeV with accuracies of 3-5% in the outgoing energy from 0.1 to 9 MeV and 15% from 9 to 12 MeV and to provide detailed experimental uncertainties. Neutrons from the WNR/LANSCE neutron source are being used to induce fission in a Parallel-Plate Avalanche Counter (PPAC). Two arrays of neutron detectors are used to cover the energy range of neutrons emitted promptly in the fission process. Challenges for the present experiment include background reduction, use of Pu-239 in a PPAC, and understanding neutron detector response. Achieving the target accuracies requires the understanding of many systematic uncertainties. The status and plans for the future will be presented.

AB The Chi-Nu project, conducted jointly by LANL and LLNL, aims to measure the shape of the prompt fission neutron spectrum (PFNS) for fission of Pu-239 induced by neutrons from 50 keV to 15 MeV with accuracies of 3-5% in the outgoing energy from 50 keV to 9 MeV and 15% from 9 to 15 MeV. In order to meet this goal, detailed Monte Carlo simulations are being used to assess the importance and effect of every component in the experimental configuration. As part of this effort, we have also simulated some past PFNS measurements to identify possible sources of systematic error. We find that multiple scattering plays an important role in the target geometry, collimators, and detector response and that past experiments probably underestimated the extent of this effect.

AB High purity germanium (HPGe) currently provides the highest readily available resolution gamma detection for a broad range of radiation measurements, but microcalorimetry is a developing option that has considerably higher resolution even than HPGe. Superior microcalorimetry resolution offers the potential to better distinguish closely spaced X-rays and gamma-rays, a common challenge for the low energy spectral region near 100 keV from special nuclear materials, and the higher signal-to-background ratio also confers an advantage in detection limit. As microcalorimetry continues to develop, it is timely to assess the impact of uncertainties in detector and item response functions and in basic nuclear data, such as branching ratios and half-lives, used to interpret spectra in terms of the contributory radioactive isotopes. We illustrate that a new inference option known as approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) is effective and convenient both for isotopic inference and for uncertainty quantification for microcalorimetry. The ABC approach opens a pathway to new and more powerful implementations for practical applications than currently available.

AB Low evaluated uncertainties were obtained in a previous evaluation of the (PU)-P-239 prompt fission neutron spectrum and associated covariances for incident neutrons of 0.5 MeV, which were enlarged a-posteriori before being incorporated into ENDF/B-VII.1. These low evaluated uncertainties triggered an in-depth study and improved estimate of experimental as well as model uncertainties. Here, we will summarize these efforts and show that the improved estimate of experimental and model uncertainties leads to corresponding evaluated uncertainties in good agreement with uncertainties obtained in a statistical analysis based primarily on experimental information.

Although we consider the current results are still preliminary, we present the summary of the cross section analysis and the results of data uncertainty/covariance, including those for the differential cross sections. It is found that the values obtained highlight consequences of nature in the theory as well as knowledge from measurements, which gives a realistic quantification of evaluated nuclear data covariances.

AB After first reviewing the parametric description of light-element reactions in multichannel systems using R-matrix theory and features of the general LANL R-matrix analysis code EDA, we describe how its chi-square minimization procedure gives parameter covariances. This information is used, together with analytically calculated sensitivity derivatives, to obtain cross section covariances for all reactions included in the analysis by first-order error propagation. Examples are given of the covariances obtained for systems with few resonances (He-5) and with many resonances (C-13). We discuss the prevalent problem of this method leading to cross section uncertainty estimates that are unreasonably small for large data sets. The answer to this problem appears to be using parameter confidence intervals in place of standard errors.

The methods are mathematically exact and enable consistent sampling of correlated inherently positive parameters with given information on the first two distribution moments. Furthermore, a weighted sampling method to accelerate the convergence of parameters with extremely large relative uncertainties is described. However, the method is efficient only for a limited number of correlated parameters.

TI Investigation of Inconsistent ENDF/B-VII.1 Independent and Cumulative
Fission Product Yields with Proposed Revisions
SO NUCLEAR DATA SHEETS

CT International Workshop on Nuclear Data Covariances

AB A recent implementation of ENDF/B-VII.1 independent fission product yields and nuclear decay data identified inconsistencies in the data caused by the use of updated nuclear schemes in the decay sub-library that are not reflected in legacy fission product yield data. Recent changes in the decay data sub-library, particularly the delayed neutron branching fractions result in calculated fission product concentrations that do not agree with the cumulative fission yields in the library as well as with experimental measurements. To address these issues, a comprehensive set of independent fission product yields was generated for thermal and fission spectrum neutron-induced fission for U-235,U-238 and Pu-239,Pu-241 in order to provide a preliminary assessment of the updated fission product yield data consistency. These updated independent fission product yields were utilized in the ORIGEN code to compare the calculated fission product inventories with experimentally measured inventories, with particular attention given to the noble gases. Another important outcome of this work is the development of fission product yield covariance data necessary for fission product uncertainty quantification. The evaluation methodology combines a sequential Bayesian method to guarantee consistency between independent and cumulative yields along with the physical constraints on the independent yields. This work was motivated to improve the performance of the ENDF/B-VII.1 library for stable and long-lived fission products. The revised fission product yields and the new covariance data are proposed as a revision to the fission yield data currently in ENDF/B-VII.1.

AB The observation that, New tools lead to new science[P. S. Weiss, ACS Nano., 2012, 6(3), 18771879], is perhaps nowhere more evident than in scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM). Advances in STEM have endowed this technique with several powerful and complimentary capabilities. For example, the application of high-angle annular dark-field imaging has made possible real-space imaging at sub-angstrom resolution with Z-contrast (Z = atomic number). Further advances have wrought: simultaneous real-space imaging and elemental identification by using electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS); 3-dimensional (3D) mapping by depth sectioning; monitoring of surface diffusion by time-sequencing of images; reduced electron energy imaging for probing graphenes; etc. In this paper we review how these advances, often coupled with first-principles theory, have led to interesting and important new insights into the physical chemistry of materials. We then review in detail a few specific applications that highlight some of these STEM capabilities.

AB A fundamental understanding of interfacial processes in nano-confined ionic liquids is crucial to increase the performance of modern energy storage devices. It is well-known that interfaces between electrodes and ionic liquids exhibit structures distinct from that of the bulk liquid. Following the recent interest in these systems, we studied the structure of thin ionic liquid films confined in flexible uncharged carbon nano-pores by using fully-atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. We show that the interfacial ions self-assemble into a closely-packed chequerboard-like pattern, formed by both cations and anions in direct contact with the pore wall, and that within this structure we find changes dependent on the thickness of the confined films. At low coverages a dense layer is formed in which both the imidazolium-ring and its alkyl-tail lie parallel to the pore wall. With increasing coverage the alkyl-chains reorient perpendicular to the surface, making space for additional ions until a densified highly ordered layer is formed. This wall-induced self-patterning into interfacial layers with significantly higher than bulk density is consistent with recent experimental and theoretical studies of similar systems. This work reveals additional molecular-level details on the effect of the film-thickness on the structure and density of the ionic liquid.

AB We demonstrate that the true hydroxide conductivity in an e-beam grafted poly(ethylene-co-tetrafluoroethylene) [ETFE] anion exchange membrane (AEM) is as high as 132 mS cm(-1) at 80 degrees C and 95% RH, comparable to a proton exchange membrane, but with very much less water present in the film. To understand this behaviour we studied ion transport of hydroxide, carbonate, bicarbonate and chloride, as well as water uptake and distribution. Water uptake of the AEM in water vapor is an order of magnitude lower than when submerged in liquid water. In addition F-19 pulse field gradient spin echo NMR indicates that there is little tortuosity in the ionic pathways through the film. A complete analysis of the IR spectrum of the AEM and the analyses of water absorption using FT-IR led to conclusion that the fluorinated backbone chains do not interact with water and that two types of water domains exist within the membrane. The reduction in conductivity was measured during exposure of the OH- form of the AEM to air at 95% RH and was seen to be much slower than the reaction of CO2 with OH- as the amount of water in the film determines its ionic conductivity and at relative wet RHs its re-organization is slow.

AB The heterogeneous oxidation of organic aerosol by hydroxyl radicals (OH) can proceed through two general pathways: functionalization, in which oxygen functional groups are added to the carbon skeleton, and fragmentation, in which carbon-carbon bonds are broken, producing higher volatility, lower molecular weight products. An ongoing challenge is to develop a quantitative molecular description of these pathways that connects the oxidative evolution of the average aerosol properties (e.g. size and hygroscopicity) to the transformation of free radical intermediates. In order to investigate the underlying molecular mechanism of aerosol oxidation, a relatively compact kinetics model is developed for the heterogeneous oxidation of squalane particles by OH using free radical intermediates that convert reactive hydrogen sites into oxygen functional groups. Stochastic simulation techniques are used to compare calculated system properties over ten oxidation lifetimes with the same properties measured in experiment. The time-dependent average squalane aerosol mass, volume, density, carbon number distribution of scission products, and the average elemental composition are predicted using known rate coefficients. For functionalization, the calculations reveal that the distribution of alcohol and carbonyl groups is controlled primarily by the initial OH abstraction rate and to lesser extent by the branching ratio between secondary peroxy radical product channels. For fragmentation, the calculations reveal that the formation of activated alkoxy radicals with neighboring functional groups controls the molecular decomposition, particularly at high O/C ratios. This kinetic scheme provides a framework for understanding the oxidation chemistry of a model organic aerosol and informs parameterizations of more complex systems.

AB An accurate description of the evolution of organic aerosol in the Earth's atmosphere is essential for climate models. However, the complexity of multiphase chemical and physical transformations has been challenging to describe at the level required to predict aerosol lifetimes and changes in chemical composition. In this work a model is presented that reproduces experimental data for the early stages of oxidative aging of squalane aerosol by hydroxyl radical (OH), a process governed by reactive uptake of gas phase species onto the particle surface. Simulations coupling free radical reactions and Fickian diffusion are used to elucidate how the measured uptake coefficient reflects the elementary steps of sticking of OH to the aerosol as a result of a gas-surface collision, followed by very rapid abstraction of hydrogen and subsequent free radical reactions. It is found that the uptake coefficient is not equivalent to a sticking coefficient or an accommodation coefficient: it is an intrinsically emergent process that depends upon particle size, viscosity, and OH concentration. An expression is derived to examine how these factors control reactive uptake over a broad range of atmospheric and laboratory conditions, and is shown to be consistent with simulation results. Well-mixed, liquid behavior is found to depend on the reaction conditions in addition to the nature of the organic species in the aerosol particle.

AB Using neutron spin-echo and backscattering spectroscopy, we have found that at low temperatures water molecules in an aqueous solution engage in center-of-mass dynamics that are different from both the main structural relaxations and the well-known localized motions in the transient cages of the nearest neighbor molecules. While the latter localized motions are known to take place on the picosecond time scale and Angstrom length scale, the slower motions that we have observed are found on the nanosecond time scale and nanometer length scale. They are associated with the slow secondary relaxations, or excess wing dynamics, in glass-forming liquids. Our approach, therefore, can be applied to probe the characteristic length scale of the dynamic entities associated with slow dynamics in glass-forming liquids, which presently cannot be studied by other experimental techniques.

AB The dynamics of proteins in solution is a complex and hierarchical process, affected by the aqueous environment as well as temperature. We present a comprehensive study on nanosecond time and nanometer length scales below, at, and above the denaturation temperature T-d. Our experimental data evidence dynamical processes in protein solutions on three distinct time scales. We suggest a consistent physical picture of hierarchical protein dynamics: (i) self-diffusion of the entire protein molecule is confirmed to agree with colloid theory for all temperatures where the protein is in its native conformational state. At higher temperatures T > T-d, the self-diffusion is strongly obstructed by cross-linking or entanglement. (ii) The amplitude of backbone fluctuations grows with increasing T, and a transition in its dynamics is observed above T-d. (iii) The number of mobile side-chains increases sharply at T-d while their average dynamics exhibits only little variations. The combination of quasi-elastic neutron scattering and the presented analytical framework provides a detailed microscopic picture of the protein molecular dynamics in solution, thereby reflecting the changes of macroscopic properties such as cluster formation and gelation.

AB Particle-in-cell codes are now standard tools for studying ultra-intense laser-plasma interactions. Motivated by direct laser acceleration of electrons in sub-critical plasmas, we examine temporal resolution requirements that must be satisfied to accurately calculate electron dynamics in strong laser fields. Using the motion of a single electron in a perfect plane electromagnetic wave as a test problem, we show surprising deterioration of the numerical accuracy with increasing wave amplitude a(0) for a given time-step. We go on to show analytically that the time-step must be significantly less than lambda/ca(0) to achieve good accuracy. We thus propose adaptive electron sub-cycling as an efficient remedy.

ID ELECTRONS; PULSE
AB Producing an overdense background plasma for neutralization purposes with a density that is high compared to the beam density is not always experimentally possible. We show that even an underdense background plasma with a small relative density can achieve high neutralization of intense ion beam pulses. Using particle-in-cell simulations, we show that if the total plasma electron charge is not sufficient to neutralize the beam charge, electron emitters are necessary for effective neutralization but are not needed if the plasma volume is so large that the total available charge in the electrons exceeds that of the ion beam. Several regimes of possible underdense/tenuous neutralization plasma densities are investigated with and without electron emitters or dense plasma at periphery regions, including the case of electron emitters without plasma, which does not effectively neutralize the beam. Over 95% neutralization is achieved for even very underdense background plasma with plasma density 1/15th the beam density. We compare results of particle-in-cell simulations with an analytic model of neutralization and find close agreement with the particle-in-cell simulations. Further, we show experimental data from the National Drift Compression experiment-II group that verifies the result that underdense plasma can neutralize intense heavy ion beams effectively.

TI Beam envelope calculations in general linear coupled lattices
SO PHYSICS OF PLASMAS

DT Article
AB The envelope equations and Twiss parameters (beta and alpha) provide important bases for uncoupled linear beam dynamics. For sophisticated beam manipulations, however, coupling elements between two transverse planes are intentionally introduced. The recently developed generalized Courant-Snyder theory offers an effective way of describing the linear beam dynamics in such coupled systems with a remarkably similar mathematical structure to the original Courant-Snyder theory. In this work, we present numerical solutions to the symmetrized matrix envelope equation for b which removes the gauge freedom in the matrix envelope equation for w. Furthermore, we construct the transfer and beam matrices in terms of the generalized Twiss parameters, which enables calculation of the beam envelopes in arbitrary linear coupled systems.

AB Linear eigenmode analysis often fails to describe turbulence in model systems that have non-normal linear operators and thus nonorthogonal eigenmodes, which can cause fluctuations to transiently grow faster than expected from eigenmode analysis. When combined with energetically conservative nonlinear mode mixing, transient growth can lead to sustained turbulence even in the absence of eigenmode instability. Since linear operators ultimately provide the turbulent fluctuations with energy, it is useful to define a growth rate that takes into account non-modal effects, allowing for prediction of energy injection, transport levels, and possibly even turbulent onset in the subcritical regime. We define such a non-modal growth rate using a relatively simple model of the statistical effect that the nonlinearities have on cross-phases and amplitude ratios of the system state variables. In particular, we model the nonlinearities as delta-function-like, periodic forces that randomize the state variables once every eddy turnover time. Furthermore, we estimate the eddy turnover time to be the inverse of the least stable eigenmode frequency or growth rate, which allows for prediction without nonlinear numerical simulation. We test this procedure on the 2D and 3D Hasegawa-Wakatani model [A. Hasegawa and M. Wakatani, Phys. Rev. Lett. 50, 682 (1983)] and find that the non-modal growth rate is a good predictor of energy injection rates, especially in the strongly non-normal, fully developed turbulence regime.

AB Using both experiment and 2D3V particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations, we describe the use of specular reflectivity measurements to study relativistic (I lambda(2) > 10(18) W/cm(2).mu m(2)) laser-plasma interactions for both high and low-contrast 527 nm laser pulses on initially solid density aluminum targets. In the context of hot-electron generation, studies typically rely on diagnostics which, more-often-than-not, represent indirect processes driven by fast electrons transiting through solid density materials. Specular reflectivity measurements, however, can provide a direct measure of the interaction that is highly sensitive to how the EM fields and plasma profiles, critical input parameters for modeling of hot-electron generation, evolve near the interaction region. While the fields of interest occur near the relativistic critical electron density, experimental reflectivity measurements are obtained centimeters away from the interaction region, well after diffraction has fully manifested itself. Using a combination of PIC simulations with experimentally inspired conditions and an analytic, non-paraxial, pulse propagation algorithm, we calculate reflected pulse properties, both near and far from the interaction region, and compare with specular reflectivity measurements. The experiment results and PIC simulations demonstrate that specular reflectivity measurements are an extremely sensitive qualitative, and partially quantitative, indicator of initial laser/target conditions, ionization effects, and other details of intense laser-matter interactions. The techniques described can provide strong constraints on many systems of importance in ultra-intense laser interactions with matter. (C) 2015 AIP Publishing LLC.

AB We developed a linear theory of backward stimulated Brillouin scatter (BSBS) of a spatially and temporally random laser beam relevant for laser fusion. Our analysis reveals a new collective regime of BSBS (CBSBS). Its intensity threshold is controlled by diffraction, once cT(c) exceeds a laser speckle length, with T-c the laser coherence time. The BSBS spatial gain rate is approximately the sum of that due to CBSBS, and a part which is independent of diffraction and varies linearly with T-c. The CBSBS spatial gain rate may be reduced significantly by the temporal bandwidth of KrF-based laser systems compared to the bandwidth currently available to temporally smoothed glass-based laser systems.

DT Article
ID EDGE; TURBULENCE
AB The impacts of the electromagnetic effects on blob dynamics are considered. Electromagnetic BOUT++ simulations on seeded high-beta blobs demonstrate that inhomogeneity of magnetic curvature or plasma pressure along the filament leads to bending of the blob filaments and the magnetic field lines due to increased propagation time of plasma current (Alfven time). The bending motion can enhance heat exchange between the plasma facing materials and the inner scrape-off layer (SOL) region. The effects of sheath boundary conditions on the part of the blob away from the boundary are also diminished by the increased Alfven time. Using linear analysis and BOUT++ simulations, it is found that electromagnetic effects in high temperature and high density plasmas reduce the growth rate of resistive drift wave instability when resistivity drops below a certain value. The blobs temperature decreases in the course of its motion through the SOL and so the blob can switch from the electromagnetic to the electrostatic regime where resistive drift waves become important again.

ID TOKAMAKS
AB The relative cross-phase between density, temperature, and potential perturbations plays a major role in turbulent spreading and transport. Nonlinear Landau-Fluid simulations show that the electron wave-particle resonances provide a relatively strong parallel damping effect on the electron temperature perturbation and can induce a relative cross-phase shift of smaller than pi/2 angle between E x B velocity and the electron temperature perturbation for large electron temperature gradient, which yields a large spreading for electron. The relative phase for ions is about pi/2 and has no turbulent spreading effect on it. The inward turbulent spreading stops at the position where the radial turbulent correlation length is shorter than the magnetic surface spacing. The temperature pedestal height determines the energy loss due to the turbulent spreading. (C) 2015 AIP Publishing LLC.

AB Efficient coupling of laser energy into hohlraum targets is important for indirect drive ignition. Laser-plasma instabilities can reduce coupling, reduce symmetry, and cause preheat. We consider the effects of an external magnetic field on laser-energy coupling in hohlraum targets. Experiments were performed at the Omega Laser Facility using low-Z gas-filled hohlraum targets which were placed in a magnetic coil with B-z <= 7.5-T. We found that an external field B-z = 7.5-T aligned along the hohlraum axis results in up to a 50% increase in plasma temperature as measured by Thomson scattering. The experiments were modeled using the 2-D magnetohydrodynamics package in HYDRA and were found to be in good agreement. (C) 2015 AIP Publishing LLC.

AB The impact of tungsten dust originating from divertor plates on the performance of edge plasma in ITER-like discharge is evaluated using computer modeling with the coupled dust-plasma transport code DUSTT-UEDGE. Different dust injection parameters, including dust size and mass injection rates, are surveyed. It is found that tungsten dust injection with rates as low as a few mg/s can lead to dangerously high tungsten impurity concentrations in the plasma core. Dust injections with rates of a few tens of mg/s are shown to have a significant effect on edge plasma parameters and dynamics in ITER scale tokamaks. The large impact of certain phenomena, such as dust shielding by an ablation cloud and the thermal force on tungsten ions, on dust/impurity transport in edge plasma and consequently on core tungsten contamination level is demonstrated. It is also found that high-Z impurities provided by dust can induce macroscopic self-sustained plasma oscillations in plasma edge leading to large temporal variations of edge plasma parameters and heat load to divertor target plates.

SO PHYSICS OF PLASMAS

DT Article
ID IMPLICIT; SOLVER
AB In this letter, it is demonstrated using two-fluid simulations that low-beta magnetic reconnection remains fast, regardless of the presence of fast dispersive waves, which have been previously suggested to play a critical role. To understand these results, a discrete model is constructed that offers scaling relationships for the reconnection rate and dissipation region (DR) thickness in terms of the upstream magnetic field and DR length. We verify these scalings numerically and show how the DR self-adjusts to process magnetic flux at the same rate that it is supplied to a larger region where two-fluid effects become important. The rate is therefore independent of the DR physics and is in good agreement with kinetic results. (C) 2015 AIP Publishing LLC.

AB We introduce an extensible multi-fluid moment model in the context of collisionless magnetic reconnection. This model evolves full Maxwell equations and simultaneously moments of the Vlasov-Maxwell equation for each species in the plasma. Effects like electron inertia and pressure gradient are self-consistently embedded in the resulting multi-fluid moment equations, without the need to explicitly solving a generalized Ohm's law. Two limits of the multi-fluid moment model are discussed, namely, the five-moment limit that evolves a scalar pressures for each species and the ten-moment limit that evolves the full anisotropic, non-gyrotropic pressure tensor for each species. We first demonstrate analytically and numerically that the five-moment model reduces to the widely used Hall magnetohydrodynamics (Hall MHD) model under the assumptions of vanishing electron inertia, infinite speed of light, and quasi-neutrality. Then, we compare ten-moment and fully kinetic particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations of a large scale Harris sheet reconnection problem, where the ten-moment equations are closed with a local linear collisionless approximation for the heat flux. The ten-moment simulation gives reasonable agreement with the PIC results regarding the structures and magnitudes of the electron flows, the polarities and magnitudes of elements of the electron pressure tensor, and the decomposition of the generalized Ohm's law. Possible ways to improve the simple local closure towards a nonlocal fully three-dimensional closure are also discussed. (C) 2015 AIP Publishing LLC.

ID HIGH-FIELD SIDE; PLASMA; PHYSICS
AB Plasma fueling with high efficiency and deep injection is very important to enable fusion power performance requirements. It is a powerful and efficient way to study neutral transport dynamics and find methods of improving the fueling performance by doing large scale simulations. Two basic fueling methods, gas puffing (GP) and supersonic molecular beam injection (SMBI), are simulated and compared in realistic divertor geometry of the HL-2A tokamak with a newly developed module, named trans-neut, within the framework of BOUT++ boundary plasma turbulence code [Z.H. Wang et al., Nucl. Fusion 54, 043019 (2014)]. The physical model includes plasma density, heat and momentum transport equations along with neutral density, and momentum transport equations. Transport dynamics and profile evolutions of both plasma and neutrals are simulated and compared between GP and SMBI in both poloidal and radial directions, which are quite different from one and the other. It finds that the neutrals can penetrate about four centimeters inside the last closed (magnetic) flux surface during SMBI, while they are all deposited outside of the LCF during GP. It is the radial convection and larger inflowing flux which lead to the deeper penetration depth of SMBI and higher fueling efficiency compared to GP. (C) 2015 AIP Publishing LLC.

TI A RESTful API for Accessing Microbial Community Data for MG-RAST
SO PLOS COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY
LA English
DT Article
ID SERVER
AB Metagenomic sequencing has produced significant amounts of data in recent years. For example, as of summer 2013, MG-RAST has been used to annotate over 110,000 data sets totaling over 43 Terabases. With metagenomic sequencing finding even wider adoption in the scientific community, the existing web-based analysis tools and infrastructure in MG-RAST provide limited capability for data retrieval and analysis, such as comparative analysis between multiple data sets. Moreover, although the system provides many analysis tools, it is not comprehensive. By opening MG-RAST up via a web services API (application programmers interface) we have greatly expanded access to MG-RAST data, as well as provided a mechanism for the use of third-party analysis tools with MG-RAST data. This RESTful API makes all data and data objects created by the MG-RAST pipeline accessible as JSON objects. As part of the DOE Systems Biology Knowledgebase project (KBase, http://kbase.us) we have implemented a web services API for MG-RAST. This API complements the existing MG-RAST web interface and constitutes the basis of KBase's microbial community capabilities. In addition, the API exposes a comprehensive collection of data to programmers. This API, which uses a RESTful (Representational State Transfer) implementation, is compatible with most programming environments and should be easy to use for end users and third parties. It provides comprehensive access to sequence data, quality control results, annotations, and many other data types. Where feasible, we have used standards to expose data and metadata. Code examples are provided in a number of languages both to show the versatility of the API and to provide a starting point for users. We present an API that exposes the data in MG-RAST for consumption by our users, greatly enhancing the utility of the MG-RAST service.

AB We describe a facile strategy of precisely nano-structuring conjugated polymer (CP)/fullerene composites for organic photovoltaics (OPVs). By building in strong complementary hydrogen bonding interactions between CP nanofibers (NFs) and fullerene derivatives, well-defined and stable supramolecular polymer/fullerene composite NFs are obtained. Specifically, a conjugated block copolymer having poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) backbone selectively functionalized with polar isoorotic acid moieties, P3HT-bP3IOAT, and a diaminopyridine tethered fullerene derivative, PCBP, are used as the building blocks. Selfassembly of P3HT-b-P3IOAT in mixed solvents leads to core-shell micelle-like NFs having IOA groups preferentially located on the periphery of the P3HT NF core, onto which PCBP molecules are subsequently attached non-covalently. Formation of such complex structures are studied in detail and confirmed by NMR spectroscopy, absorption spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and X-ray scattering measurements. Application of these composite NFs in OPV devices is investigated and evaluated, which shows close correlations between device performance and morphology controllability.

SO REVIEW OF SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS

ID SOLAR-CELLS; CONTACTS
AB Rapid thermal processing (RTP) is widely used for processing a variety of materials, including electronics and photovoltaics. Presently, optimization of RTP is done primarily based on ex-situ studies. As a consequence, the precise reaction pathways and phase progression during the RTP remain unclear. More awareness of the reaction pathways would better enable process optimization and foster increased adoption of RTP, which offers numerous advantages for synthesis of a broad range of materials systems. To achieve this, we have designed and developed a RTP instrument that enables real-time collection of X-ray diffraction data with intervals as short as 100 ms, while heating with ramp rates up to 100 degrees Cs-1, and with a maximum operating temperature of 1200 degrees C. The system is portable and can be installed on a synchrotron beamline. The unique capabilities of this instrument are demonstrated with in-situ characterization of a Bi2O3-SiO2 glass frit obtained during heating with ramp rates 5 degrees Cs-1 and 100 degrees Cs-1, revealing numerous phase changes.

AB The transverse momentum of electrons produced by a photocathode contributes significantly to the performance of several different types of accelerator-based light sources, such as Free Electron Lasers, as well as systems designed for ultrafast electron diffraction and dynamic transmission electron microscopy. Minimization of the transverse emittance from photocathodes is the subject of intensive research, and therefore measurement of this parameter is of great importance. Here, we describe a simple system that offers real time measurements of transverse emittance and can be easily integrated into the photocathode fabrication process. (C) 2015 AIP Publishing LLC.

AB Improvements to equipment lifetime and measurement reproducibility have been made by modifying the actuating mechanism of a diaphragmless shock tube that is used for high temperature gas kinetic studies. The modifications have two major benefits while retaining the simplicity of the original apparatus. First, the reproducibility of shock wave generation has been greatly improved and is demonstrated with 50 nearly identical experiments on the dissociation of cyclohexene at T-2 = 1765 +/- 13 K and P-2 = 120 +/- 1 Torr, demonstrating the capability for signal averaging over many experiments. Second, the lifetime of the bellows which forms the heart of the actuator is considerably improved, significantly increasing the time between replacements. (C) 2015 AIP Publishing LLC.

AB Fiber-fed time-resolved photoluminescence is demonstrated as a tool for immediate process feedback after deposition of the absorber layer for CuInxGa1-xSe2 and Cu2ZnSnSe4 photovoltaic devices. The technique uses a simplified configuration compared to typical laboratory time-resolved photoluminescence in the delivery of the exciting beam, signal collection, and electronic components. Correlation of instrument output with completed device efficiency is demonstrated over a large sample set. The extraction of the instrument figure of merit, depending on both the initial luminescence intensity and its time decay, is explained and justified. Limitations in the prediction of device efficiency by this method, including surface effect, are demonstrated and discussed. (C) 2015 AIP Publishing LLC.

AB We have developed a multi-wavelength Fast Temperature Readout (FasTeR) spectrometer to capture a sample's transient temperature fluctuations, and reduce uncertainties in melting temperature determination. Without sacrificing accuracy, FasTeR features a fast readout rate (about 100 Hz), high sensitivity, large dynamic range, and a well-constrained focus. Complimenting a charge-coupled device spectrometer, FasTeR consists of an array of photomultiplier tubes and optical dichroic filters. The temperatures determined by FasTeR outside of the vicinity of melting are, generally, in good agreement with results from the charge-coupled device spectrometer. Near melting, FasTeR is capable of capturing transient temperature fluctuations, at least on the order of 300 K/s. A software tool, SIMFaster, is described and has been developed to simulate FasTeR and assess design configurations. FasTeR is especially suitable for temperature determinations that utilize ultra-fast techniques under extreme conditions. Working in parallel with the laser-heated diamond-anvil cell, synchrotron Mossbauer spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction, we have applied the FasTeR spectrometer to measure the melting temperature of (Fe0.9Ni0.1)-Fe-57 at high pressure.

AB Addressed herein is a facile and low-cost approach to endow hydrophobic polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes with reliable hydrophilicity and antifouling properties. Porous asymmetric hydrophilic membranes with tunable morphology were facilely fabricated via phase inversion using an aqueous solution of graphene oxide (GO) as the coagulation bath. An increment in pore size and surface roughness was observed for membranes treated by a GO/water-coagulation bath (GB). The bovine serum albumin rejection of GB-treated membranes increased by 38.99% when the concentration of GO in the coagulation bath was 0.5 g L-1. The contact angle of membranes decreased from 75.9 degrees to 58.8 degrees and the water flux increased by 140% when the dosage of GO was 2 g L-1. Furthermore, fouling resistances of membranes revealed that GB-treated membranes had a higher flux recovery ratio (85.7%) than pristine PVDF (43.3%). Meanwhile, the protein adsorption of GB-treated membranes was decreased by 69.3% compared with that of pristine PVDF membranes. The cost of the membranes can be lowered by using a GB approach compared with GO-mixed matrix membranes because of the reusability of GO in a coagulation bath. This research presents an effective method to tailor membrane performance via GB rather than embedding GO in the membrane matrix.

Recent literature on simulation efforts for estimating exciton diffusion lengths of various conjugated polymers and small molecules is introduced. These studies are discussed in the context of the effects of morphology on exciton diffusion and the necessity of accurate treatment of disorder to accurately reproduce experimental results.

AB The present work probes the bromination mechanism of 2-tert-butylpyrene (1), which regioselectively affords mono-, di-, tri- and tetra-bromopyrenes, by theoretical calculation and detailed experimental methods. The bromine atom may be directed to the K-region (positions 5- and 9-) instead of the more reactive 6- and 8-positions in the presence of iron powder. In this process, FeBr3 plays a significant role to release steric hindrance or lower the activation energy of the rearrangement. The intermediate bromopyrene derivatives were isolated and confirmed by H-1 NMR spectrometry, mass spectroscopy and elemental analysis. Further evidence on substitution position originated from a series of aryl substituted pyrene derivatives, which were obtained from the corresponding bromopyrenes on reaction with 4-methoxy-phenylboronic acid by a Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction. All position-dependent aryl-functionalized pyrene derivatives are characterized by single X-ray diffraction, H-1/C-13 NMR, FT-IR and MS, and offered straightforward evidence to support our conclusion. Furthermore, the photophysical properties of a series of compounds were confirmed by fluorescence and absorption, as well as by fluorescence lifetime measurements.

AB The Li-ion conductor "Li6.5La3Zr1.5Ta0.5O12" (LLZT) with garnet structure is prepared by solid-state reaction in an alumina crucible; its stability in water is investigated at room temperature. A Li+/H+ exchange is characterized by TGA, Li-7 and Al-27 MAS NMR, neutron diffraction, and TEM. In water, Li+/H+ exchange leads to a new garnet oxide "Li6.5-xHxLa3Zr1.5Ta0.5O12" (H-LLZT) with space group Ia-3d; the lattice parameter of H-LLZT is increased by the exchanged protons. Both LLZT and a grain boundary phase LiAlO2 are unstable in water. The exchanged protons in H-LLZT displace Li from the octahedral sites bridging the 24d tetrahedral sites; they form a strong O-H bond that distorted the site. The amorphous phase LiAlO2 in the grain boundary dissolves on exposure to water, which inhibits Li-ion transport across the grain boundary. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB A Bayesian hierarchical model is developed for count data with spatial and temporal correlations as well as excessive zeros, uneven sampling intensities, and inference on missing spots. Our contribution is to develop a model on zero-inflated count data that provides flexibility in modeling spatial patterns in a dynamic manner and also improves the computational efficiency via dimension reduction. The proposed methodology is of particular importance for studying species presence and abundance in the field of ecological sciences. The proposed model is employed in the analysis of the survey data by the Northeast Fisheries Sciences Center (NEFSC) for estimation and prediction of the Atlantic cod in the Gulf of Maine - Georges Bank region. Model comparisons based on the deviance information criterion and the log predictive score show the improvement by the proposed spatial-temporal model.

AB This paper provides an overview of the AMPERE modeling comparison project with focus on the implications of near-term policies for the costs and attainability of long-term climate objectives. Nine modeling teams participated in the project to explore the consequences of global emissions following the proposed policy stringency of the national pledges from the Copenhagen Accord and Cancun Agreements to 2030. Specific features compared to earlier assessments are the explicit consideration of near-term 2030 emission targets as well as the systematic sensitivity analysis for the availability and potential of mitigation technologies. Our estimates show that a 2030 mitigation effort comparable to the pledges would result in a further "lock-in" of the energy system into fossil fuels and thus impede the required energy transformation to reach low greenhouse-gas stabilization levels (450 ppm CO(2)e). Major implications include significant increases in mitigation costs, increased risk that low stabilization targets become unattainable, and reduced chances of staying below the proposed temperature change target of 2 degrees C in case of overshoot. With respect to technologies, we find that following the pledge pathways to 2030 would narrow policy choices, and increases the risks that some currently optional technologies, such as carbon capture and storage (CCS) or the large-scale deployment of bioenergy, will become "a must" by 2030.

AB This study explores a situation of staged accession to a global climate policy regime from the current situation of regionally fragmented and moderate climate action. The analysis is based on scenarios in which a front runner coalition - the EU or the EU and China - embarks on immediate ambitious climate action while the rest of the world makes a transition to a global climate regime between 2030 and 2050. We assume that the ensuing regime involves strong mitigation efforts but does not require late joiners to compensate for their initially higher emissions. Thus, climate targets are relaxed, and although staged accession can achieve significant reductions of global warming, the resulting climate outcome is unlikely to be consistent with the goal of limiting global warming to 2 degrees. The addition of China to the front runner coalition can reduce pre-2050 excess emissions by 20-30%, increasing the likelihood of staying below 2 degrees. Not accounting for potential co-benefits, the cost of front runner action is found to be lower for the EU than for China. Regions that delay their accession to the climate regime face a trade-off between reduced short term costs and higher transitional requirements due to larger carbon lock-ins and more rapidly increasing carbon prices during the accession period.

AB Stringent long-term climate targets necessitate a limit on cumulative emissions in this century for which sufficient policy signals are lacking. Using nine energy-economy models, we explore how policies pursued during the next two decades impact long-term transformation pathways towards stringent long-term climate targets. Less stringent near-term policies (i.e., those with larger emissions) consume more of the long-term cumulative emissions budget in the 2010-2030 period, which increases the likelihood of overshooting the budget and the urgency of reducing GHG emissions after 2030. Furthermore, the larger near-term GHG emissions associated with less stringent policies are generated primarily by additional coal-based electricity generation. Therefore, to be successful in meeting the long-term target despite near-term emissions reductions that are weaker than those implied by cost-optimal mitigation pathways, models must prematurely retire significant coal capacity while rapidly ramping up low-carbon technologies between 2030 and 2050 and remove large quantities of CO2 from the atmosphere in the latter half of the century. While increased energy efficiency lowers mitigation costs considerably, even with weak near-term policies, it does not substantially reduce the short-term reliance on coal electricity. However, increased energy efficiency does allow the energy system more flexibility in mitigating emissions and, thus, facilitates the post-2030 transition. (C) 2014 The Authors.

AB This paper explores the implications of delays (to 2030) in implementing optimal policies for long-term transition pathways to limit climate forcing to 450 ppm CO(2)e on the basis of the AMPERE Work Package 2 model comparison study.
The paper highlights the critical importance of the period 2030-2050 for ambitious mitigation strategies. In this period, the most rapid shift to low greenhouse gas emitting technology occurs. In the delayed response emission mitigation scenarios, an even faster transition rate in this period is required to compensate for the additional emissions before 2030. Our physical deployment measures indicate that the availability of CCS technology could play a critical role in facilitating the attainment of ambitious mitigation goals. Without CCS, deployment of other mitigation technologies would become extremely high in the 2030-2050 period. Yet the presence of CCS greatly alleviates the challenges to the transition particularly after the delayed climate policies, lowering the risk that the long-term goal becomes unattainable.
The results also highlight the important role of bioenergy with CO2 capture and storage (BECCS), which facilitates energy production with negative carbon emissions. If BECCS is available, transition pathways exceed the emission budget in the mid-term, removing the excess with BECCS in the long term. Excluding either BE or CCS from the technology portfolio implies that emission reductions need to take place much earlier. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc.

AB Stabilizing the global climate will require large-scale global deployment of low-carbon technologies. Even in the presence of aggressive climate policies, however, the diffusion of such technologies may be limited by several institutional, behavioral, and social factors. In this paper, we review the literature on the sources of such diffusion constraints, and explore the potential implications of such constraints based on the GCAM integrated assessment model. Our analysis highlights that factors that limit technology deployment may have sizeable impacts on the feasibility and mitigation costs of achieving stringent stabilization targets. And such impacts are greatly amplified with major delays in serious climate policies. The results generally indicate that constraints on the expansions of CCS and renewables are more costly than those on nuclear or bioenergy, and jointly constraining these technologies leaves some scenarios infeasible.

ID CARBON LEAKAGE; STABILIZATION
AB This paper explores a multi-model scenario ensemble to assess the impacts of idealized and non-idealized climate change stabilization policies on fossil fuel markets. Under idealized conditions climate policies significantly reduce coal use in the short- and long-term. Reductions in oil and gas use are much smaller, particularly until 2030, but revenues decrease much more because oil and gas prices are higher than coal prices. A first deviation from optimal transition pathways is delayed action that relaxes global emission targets until 2030 in accordance with the Copenhagen pledges. Fossil fuel markets revert back to the no-policy case: though coal use increases strongest, revenue gains are higher for oil and gas. To balance the carbon budget over the 21st century, the long-term reallocation of fossil fuels is significantly larger twice and more than the short-term distortion. This amplifying effect results from coal lock-in and inter-fuel substitution effects to balance the full-century carbon budget. The second deviation from the optimal transition pathway relaxes the global participation assumption. The result here is less clear-cut across models, as we find carbon leakage effects ranging from positive to negative because trade and substitution patterns of coal, oil, and gas differ across models. In summary, distortions of fossil fuel markets resulting from relaxed short-term global emission targets are more important and less uncertain than the issue of carbon leakage from early mover action.

AB There is currently enormous interest in the development of small molecule organic solar cells (SMSC), as in principle, these systems offer advantages over both conventional Si photovoltaics and organic polymer solar cells. Here, we report Forster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) enhanced inverted SMSC fabricated by coevaporating two different squaraine donors, a symmetrical squaraine (SQ, 2,4-bis-4-[(N,N-diisobutylamino)-2,6-dihydroxyphenyl] squaraine), and an asymmetrical squaraine (ASSQ, 2,4-bis-[(N,N-diisobutylamino)-2,6-dihydroxyphenyl]-4-(4-diphenyliminio) squaraine). ASSQ absorbs blue light (lambda(max) 540 nm) and emits from 550 nm to the near-infrared region, which overlaps with SQ absorption (lambda(max) 690 nm). Therefore, by utilizing a thin film containing the two squaraine donors as the active layer in a SMSC, we can both broaden the photovoltaic absorption spectrum, and reduce recombination loss as a result of FRET. This strategy has resulted in SMSC with power conversion efficiencies (PCE) which are up to 46% greater than those obtained by using a single squaraine donor. Ultrafast time-resolved photoluminescence and transient absorption spectroscopy provide clear evidence of FRET between the small molecules, with a rapid energy transfer time of similar to 1 ps. At optimal blending, which correlates to the highest PCE measured, the efficiency of energy transfer is as high as 85%. Furthermore, in the devices containing two different squaraine molecules, the open circuit voltage (V-OC) is proportional to the fraction of the two donors in the blend, allowing us to predict the V-OC as the ratio of the two donors is changed. SMSC with inverted structures also demonstrate long-term stability in ambient conditions compared to devices employing a conventional architecture.

AB We report a self-developing anisotropic gold/polymer hybrid nanosystem that precisely places dye molecules at the plasmonic hotspot of metal nanostructures for sensing and photonics applications. Unlike conventional molecule-particle configurations, the anisotropic hybrid (AHN) nanosystem introduces an anisotropic spatial distribution of dye-containing active medium. This allows us to precisely overlap the near-field spatial distribution with the active medium and rule out the contribution from the background molecules. This overlap effect selectively highlights the optical response of the molecules of interest, that is, molecules located at the hotspots. Our AHN consists of gold nanodimers whose gaps have been filled with methylene blue molecules. They have been studied by plasmon-enhanced Raman spectroscopy as a probing tool. The AHN opens new doors not only for fundamental studies and photonics applications of molecule-particle interactions, but also for molecular trapping methods at the nanoscale.

AB We propose a tunable meta-surface in the terahertz regime by Patterning a graphene sheet in cut-wire array. The enhancement of terahertz absorption of such a graphene meta-surface was studied detailedly via the optimization to the geometry of the structure. Considering the data of graphene in both the experimental and theoretical perspectives, we investigated the performance of the absorbing graphene meta-surface by extracting its effective surface conductivities through a sheet retrieval method. We also specifically considered two sets of well-known experimental graphene data and comparatively studied the properties of graphene meta-surface by changing the graphene parameters in-between. It shows that there has been significant improvement in preparing high-quality graphene samples, which makes it possible to strengthen optical properties of graphene microstructures, and therefore benefits various practical applications.

AB Combining macromolecular crystallography with in crystallo micro-spectrophotometry yields valuable complementary information on the sample, including the redox states of metal cofactors, the identification of bound ligands and the onset and strength of undesired photochemistry, also known as radiation damage. However, the analysis and processing of the resulting data differs significantly from the approaches used for solution spectrophotometric data. The varying size and shape of the sample, together with the suboptimal sample environment, the lack of proper reference signals and the general influence of the X-ray beam on the sample have to be considered and carefully corrected for. In the present article, how to characterize and treat these sample-dependent artefacts in a reproducible manner is discussed and the SLS-APEin situ, in crystallo optical spectroscopy data-analysis toolbox is demonstrated.

AB Acoustic droplet ejection (ADE) is an emerging technology with broad applications in serial crystallography such as growing, improving and manipulating protein crystals. One application of this technology is to gently transfer crystals onto MiTeGen micromeshes with minimal solvent. Once mounted on a micromesh, each crystal can be combined with different chemicals such as crystal-improving additives or a fragment library. Acoustic crystal mounting is fast (2.33transferss(-1)) and all transfers occur in a sealed environment that is in vapor equilibrium with the mother liquor. Here, a system is presented to retain crystals near the ejection point and away from the inaccessible dead volume at the bottom of the well by placing the crystals on a concave agarose pedestal (CAP) with the same chemical composition as the crystal mother liquor. The bowl-shaped CAP is impenetrable to crystals. Consequently, gravity will gently move the crystals into the optimal location for acoustic ejection. It is demonstrated that an agarose pedestal of this type is compatible with most commercially available crystallization conditions and that protein crystals are readily transferred from the agarose pedestal onto micromeshes with no loss in diffraction quality. It is also shown that crystals can be grown directly on CAPs, which avoids the need to transfer the crystals from the hanging drop to a CAP. This technology has been used to combine thermolysin and lysozyme crystals with an assortment of anomalously scattering heavy atoms. The results point towards a fast nanolitre method for crystal mounting and high-throughput screening.

AB Full-field axial deformation within molten-salt batteries was measured using x-ray imaging with a sampling moire technique. This method worked for in situ testing of the batteries because of the inherent grid pattern of the battery layers when imaged with x-rays. High-speed x-ray imaging acquired movies of the layer deformation during battery activation. Numerical validation of the technique, as implemented in this paper, was done using synthetic and numerically shifted images. Typical results of a battery are shown for one test. Ongoing work on validation and more test results are in progress.

AB We report calculations of the electronic structure and optical properties of doped n-type perovskite BaSnO3 and layered perovskites. While doped BaSnO3 retains its transparency for energies below the valence to conduction band onset, the doped layered compounds exhibit below band edge optical conductivity due to transitions from the lowest conduction band. This gives absorption in the visible for Ba2SnO4. Thus, it is important to minimize this phase in transparent conducting oxide (TCO) films. Ba3Sn2O7 and Ba4Sn3O10 have strong transitions only in the red and infrared, respectively. Thus, there may be opportunities for using these as wavelength filtering TCO. (C) 2015 Author(s).

AB The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model is used to investigate choice of land surface model (LSM) on the near surface wind profile, including heights reached by multi-megawatt (MW) wind turbines. Simulations of wind profiles and surface energy fluxes were made using five LSMs of varying degrees of sophistication in dealing with soil-plant-atmosphere feedbacks for the Department of Energy (DOE) Southern Great Plains (SGP) Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Program (ARM) Central Facility in Oklahoma, USA. Surface flux and wind profile measurements were available for validation. WRF was run for three, two-week periods covering varying canopy and meteorological conditions. The LSMs predicted a wide range of energy flux and wind shear magnitudes even during the cool autumn period when we expected less variability. Simulations of energy fluxes varied in accuracy by model sophistication, whereby LSMs with very simple or no soil-plant-atmosphere feedbacks were the least accurate; however, the most complex models did not consistently produce more accurate results. Errors in wind shear were also sensitive to LSM choice and were partially related to energy flux accuracy. The variability of LSM performance was relatively high suggesting that LSM representation of energy fluxes in WRF remains a large source of model uncertainty for simulating wind turbine inflow conditions.

AB Triosephosphate isomerase (TPI) is a glycolytic enzyme which homodimerizes for full catalytic activity. Mutations of the TPI gene elicit a disease known as TPI Deficiency, a glycolytic enzymopathy noted for its unique severity of neurological symptoms. Evidence suggests that TPI Deficiency pathogenesis may be due to conformational changes of the protein, likely affecting dimerization and protein stability. In this report, we genetically and physically characterize a human disease-associated TPI mutation caused by anI170V substitution. Human TPII170V elicits behavioral abnormalities in Drosophila. An examination of hTPI(I170V) enzyme kinetics revealed this substitution reduced catalytic turnover, while assessments of thermal stability demonstrated an increase in enzyme stability. The crystal structure of the homodimeric I170V mutant reveals changes in the geometry of critical residues within the catalytic pocket. Collectively these data reveal new observations of the structural and kinetic determinants of TPI Deficiency pathology, providing new insights into disease pathogenesis. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.

AB Reaction of the neutral diniobium benzene complex {[Nb(BDI)(NBu)-Bu-t](2)(mu-C6H6)} (BDI = N, N'-diisopropylbenzene- beta-diketiminate) with Ag[B(C6F5) 4] results in a single electron oxidation to produce a cationic diniobium arene complex, {[Nb(BDI)(NBu)-Bu-t](2)(mu-C6H6)}{B(C6F5)(4)}. Investigation of the solid state and solution phase structure using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, cyclic voltammetry, magnetic susceptibility, and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy indicates that the oxidation results in an asymmetric molecule with two chemically inequivalent Nb atoms. Further characterization using density functional theory (DFT) calculations, UV-visible, Nb L-3,L-2-edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES), and EPR spectroscopies supports assignment of a diniobium complex, in which one Nb atom carries a single unpaired electron that is not largely delocalized on the second Nb atom. During the oxidative transformation, one electron is removed from the delta-bonding HOMO, which causes a destabilization of the molecule and formation of an asymmetric product. Subsequent reactivity studies indicate that the oxidized product allows access to metal-based chemistry with substrates that did not exhibit reactivity with the starting neutral complex.

AB Hydrogenases are complex metalloenzymes that catalyze the reversible splitting of molecular hydrogen into protons and electrons essentially without overpotential. The NAD(+)-reducing soluble hydrogenase (SH) from Ralstonia eutropha is capable of H-2 conversion even in the presence of usually toxic dioxygen. The molecular details of the underlying reactions are largely unknown, mainly because of limited knowledge of the structure and function of the various metal cofactors present in the enzyme. Here, all iron-containing cofactors of the SH were investigated by Fe-57 specific nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopy (NRVS). Our data provide experimental evidence for one [2Fe2S] center and four [4Fe4S] clusters, which is consistent with the amino acid sequence composition. Only the [2Fe2S] cluster and one of the four [4Fe4S] clusters were reduced upon incubation of the SH with NADH. This finding explains the discrepancy between the large number of FeS clusters and the small amount of FeS cluster-related signals as detected by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopic analysis of several NAD(+)-reducing hydrogenases. For the first time, Fe-CO and Fe-CN modes derived from the [NiFe] active site could be distinguished by NRVS through selective C-13 labeling of the CO ligand. This strategy also revealed the molecular coordinates that dominate the individual Fe-CO modes. The present approach explores the complex vibrational signature of the Fe-S clusters and the hydrogenase active site, thereby showing that NRVS represents a powerful tool for the elucidation of complex biocatalysts containing multiple cofactors.

AB A series of fluorescent unnatural amino acids (UAAs) bearing stilbene and meta-phenylenevinylene (m-PPV) backbone have been synthesized and their optical properties were studied. These novel UAAs were derived from protected diiodo-L-tyrosine using palladium-catalyzed Heck couplings with a series of styrene analogs. Unlike the other fluorescent UAAs, whose emissions are restricted to a narrow range of wavelengths, these new amino acids display the emission peaks at broad range wavelengths (from 400800 nm); including NIR with QY of 4% in HEPES buffer. The incorporation of both pyridine and phenol functional groups leads to distinct red, green, and blue (RGB) emission, in its basic, acidic and neutral states, respectively. More importantly, these amino acids showed reversible pH and redox response showing their promise as stimuli responsive fluorescent probes. To further demonstrate the utility of these UAAs in peptide synthesis, one of the amino acids was incorporated into a cell penetrating peptide (CPP) sequence through standard solid phase peptide synthesis. Resultant CPP was treated with two different cell lines and the internalization was monitored by confocal fluorescence microscopy.

AB The effect of host structure on the selectivity and mechanism of intramolecular Prins reactions is evaluated using K12Ga4L6 tetrahedral catalysts. The host structure was varied by modifying the structure of the chelating moieties and the size of the aromatic spacers. While variation in chelator substituents was generally observed to affect changes in rate but not selectivity, changing the host spacer afforded differences in efficiency and product diastereoselectivity. An extremely high number of turnovers (up to 840) was observed. Maximum rate accelerations were measured to be on the order of 10(5), which numbers among the largest magnitudes of transition state stabilization measured with a synthetic host-catalyst. Host/guest size effects were observed to play an important role in host-mediated enantioselectivity.

AB We first propose fundamental solutions of wave propagation in dispersive chain subject to a localized initial perturbation in the displacement. Analytical solutions are obtained for both second order nonlinear dispersive chain and homogenous harmonic chain using stationary phase approximation. Solution is also compared with numerical results from molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Locally dominant phonon modes (k-space) are introduced based on these solutions. These locally defined spatially and temporally varying phonon modes k(x,t) are critical to the concept of the local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE). Wave propagation accompanying with the none quilibrium dynamics leads to the excitation of these locally defined phonon modes. It is found that the system energy is gradually redistributed among these excited phonons modes (k-space). This redistribution process is only possible with nonlinear dispersion and requires a finite amount of time to achieve a steady state distribution. This time scale is dependent on the spatial distribution (or frequency content) of the initial perturbation and the dispersion relation. Sharper and more concentrated perturbation leads to a faster energy redistribution and dissipation. This energy redistribution generates localized phonons with various frequencies that can be important for phonon-phonon interaction and energy dissipation in nonlinear systems. Depending on the initial perturbation and temperature, the time scale associated with this energy distribution can be critical for energy dissipation compared to the Umklapp scattering process. Ballistic type of heat transport along the harmonic chain reveals that at any given position, the lowest mode (k = 0) is excited first and gradually expanding to the highest mode (k(max)(x, t)), where kmax(x,t) can only asymptotically approach the maximum mode k(B) of the first Brillouin zone (k(max)(x,t) -> k(B)). No energy distributed into modes with k(max)(x,t) < k < k(B) demonstrates that the local thermodynamic equilibrium cannot be established in harmonic chain. Energy is shown to be uniformly distributed in all available phonon modes k <= k(max)(x, t) at any position with heat transfer along the harmonic chain. The energy flux along the chain is shown to be a constant with time and proportional to the sound speed (ballistic transport). Comparison with the Fourier's law leads to a time-dependent thermal conductivity that diverges with time.

AB Microscopic distributions of elastic and plastic strains have been studied at three intervals during an electrochemically accelerated corrosion test of a flat, polished surface of a mill-annealed and unstrained sample of Alloy 600 (UNS N06600) in 10% sodium hydroxide (NaOH) at 315 degrees C. Laue microdiffraction was used with a micron-sized polychromatic (white) x-ray beam to map strain changes in the sample as a function of corrosion time. After two 12 h corrosion periods, tensile elastic strains were detected along a grain boundary. After a third 24 h corrosion period, this particular boundary was found to have cracked to a depth of several microns; other adjacent boundaries exhibited tensile elastic strain, but no cracking. No significant changes to plastic strain distributions in the same area could be detected as a function of corrosion exposure.

AB In the work reported here, both forest residue (FR) and torrefied forest residue (TFR) were devolatilized in a drop tube reactor at 1473 K at a heating rate greater than 10(4) K/s. The physical properties of parent fuel particles and their corresponding char particles were examined by using a scanning electron microscope and a granulometer. After the same milling and sieving process, the TFR particles had a smaller size and smaller aspect ratio than the FR particles. The char particles consisted of two types of particles with different sizes and morphologies: a small particle mode (presumably char fragments) and a large particle mode. The volume fraction of char fragments in the TFR char was considerably less than for the FR char. Both types of char were converted in a drop tube reactor under oxidation and gasification conditions at 1473 and 1573 K, respectively. The total organic mass loss and release of individual organic elements during char conversion were determined using a tracer method. Calcium, manganese, barium, and magnesium were found to be suitable for use as tracers. The fractional carbon conversion rate of TFR char was found to be slower than that of FR char under both oxidation and gasification conditions. The fractional release rate of hydrogen was much higher than that of total organic mass loss, while the corresponding oxygen release was lower for both types of char and for different reactive environments.

AB Biomass exhibits a complex microstructure of directional pores that impact how heat and mass are transferred within biomass particles during conversion processes. However, models of biomass particles used in simulations of conversion processes typically employ oversimplified geometries such as spheres and cylinders and neglect intraparticle microstructure. Here we develop 3D models of biomass particles with size, morphology, and microstructure based on parameters obtained from quantitative image analysis. We obtain measurements of particle size and morphology by analyzing large ensembles of particles that result from typical size reduction methods, and we delineate several representative size classes. Microstructural parameters, including cell wall thickness and cell lumen dimensions, are measured directly from micrographs of sectioned biomass. A general constructive solid geometry algorithm is presented that produces models of biomass particles based on these measurements. Next, we employ the parameters obtained from image analysis to construct models of three different particle size classes from two different feedstocks representing a hardwood poplar species (Populus tremuloides, quaking aspen) and a softwood pine (Pinus taeda, loblolly pine). Finally, we demonstrate the utility of the models and the effects explicit microstructure by performing finite-element simulations of intraparticle heat and mass transfer, and the results are compared to similar simulations using traditional simplified geometries. We show how the behavior of particle models with more realistic morphology and explicit microstructure departs from that of spherical models in simulations of transport phenomena and that species-dependent differences in microstructure impact simulation results in some cases.

AB The fouling of catalysts for the upgrading of bio-oils appears to be very different from the fouling of catalysts for the hydroprocessing of petroleum-derived streams. There are two reasons for the differences: (a) bio-oil contains polarizable components and phases that can stabilize reaction intermediates exhibiting charge separation and (b) bio-oil components contain functional groups that contain O, notably carbonyls (>C-O). Aldol condensation of carbonyls affords very different pathways for the production of oligomeric, refractory deposits than does dehydrogenation/polymerization of petroleum-derived hydrocarbons. Colloquially, we refer to the bio-oil-derived deposits as gunk to discriminate them from coke, the carbonaceous deposits encountered in petroleum refining. Classical gelation appears to be a suitable model for the gunking reaction. Our work has helped explain the temperature range at which bio-oil should be preprocessed (stabilized) to confer longer lifetimes on the catalysts used for more severe processing. Stochastic modeling (kinetic Monte Carlo simulations) appears promising to capture the rates of oligomerization of bio-oil.

AB This paper considers a diesel series hybrid electric vehicle (SHEV) and proposes the utilization of an engine-generator power rate constraint map to reduce soot emissions without a significant compromise in fuel economy. Specifically, model predictive control (MPC) is used to split the vehicle power demand between the engine-generator unit and the battery. To achieve a reduction in soot, the engine-generator power rate is constrained. Unlike existing strategies, the power rate limit is not a fixed value but varies, depending on the power level, resulting in a map. This constraint map is designed by formulating the soot emission reduction problem as an optimization problem, which is solved through a three-step offline discrete optimization process. The optimization relies on a quasi-static soot emissions map that captures the trends, even during transients, but underestimates the magnitudes. Therefore, to evaluate the performance of the MPC-based power management with the power rate constraint map, experiments are conducted through an engine-in-the-loop simulation framework. Experimental results show that compared with a constant power rate constraint, soot emissions can be reduced by 44.5% while compromising fuel economy by only 0.3% through the proposed approach. As a tradeoff, the ampere-hour (Ah) processed in the battery, which is a variable that has been shown to correlate with battery capacity loss, increases by 5.5%.

AB It is demonstrated that the use of silica-coated silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in the buffer layer improves the performance of organic solar cells (OSCs). It is found that only large sized AgNPs are advantageous for increasing the electric field distribution in the active layer, and therefore, increasing light absorption, caused by the localized surface plasmonic resonance and far-field scattering. Furthermore, the scattering of silica-coated AgNPs is more important to the light harvesting because of the existence of the silica coating. It is also demonstrated that the silica coating is favorable for enhancing the exciton dissociation because of the reduction of the exciton quenching that occurred at the interface between the bare AgNPs and the active layer. Furthermore, silica-coated AgNPs also promote hole transport and extraction, which is presumably explained by the introduction of "dopant" levels within the band gap of the poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) and reduction of hole trapping of a bare silver surface. The combination of all these benefits results in a 25.4% improvement in photocurrent density and an increase of 19.2% in power conversion efficiency. This work indicates that using silica-coated AgNPs as light trapping elements is more efficient than using bare AgNPs in plasmonic organic solar cells. The systematic exploration of the optical and electrical effects of silica-coated AgNPs contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of the mechanism of performance improvement of the plasmonic OSCs.

AB The bending stiffness in a homogeneous, isotropic, thin plate is experimentally derived from measurements of coincidence angles extracted from supercritical sound transmission versus frequency measurements. A computer controlled turn table rotates a plate sample and a receiver array, placed in the near field of the plate. The array is used to track the transmitted sound through the plate, generated by a far-field stationary source, using beam forming. The array technique enables measurement of plates measuring only one wavelength in width. Two examples are used for proof of concept, including an aluminum plate in air and an alumina plate under water. (C) 2015 Acoustical Society of America.

Research on quench and partitioning has been conducted by numerous groups, and this critical assessment provides some of the authors' perspectives on progress and understanding in the field, with particular focus on the physical metallurgy and transformation mechanisms, process variations, mechanical behaviour, and industrial implementation. While much progress has been made, the field provides rich opportunity for further understanding and development.

AB The next technological leap forward will be enabled by new materials and inventive means of manipulating them. Among the array of candidate materials, graphene has garnered much attention; however, due to the absence of a semiconducting gap, the realization of graphene-based devices often requires complex processing and design. Spatially controlled local potentials, for example, achieved through lithographically defined split-gate configurations, present a possible route to take advantage of this exciting two-dimensional material. Here we demonstrate carrier density modulation in graphene through coupling to an adjacent ferroelectric polarization to create spatially defined potential steps at 180 degrees-domain walls rather than fabrication of local gate electrodes. Periodic arrays of p-i junctions are demonstrated in air (gate tunable to p-n junctions) and density functional theory reveals that the origin of the potential steps is a complex interplay between polarization, chemistry, and defect structures in the graphene/ferroelectric couple.

AB Zeolites play numerous important roles in modern petroleum refineries and have the potential to advance the production of fuels and chemical feedstocks from renewable resources. The performance of a zeolite as separation medium and catalyst depends on its framework structure. To date, 213 framework types have been synthesized and >330,000 thermodynamically accessible zeolite structures have been predicted. Hence, identification of optimal zeolites for a given application from the large pool of candidate structures is attractive for accelerating the pace of materials discovery. Here we identify, through a large-scale, multi-step computational screening process, promising zeolite structures for two energy-related applications: the purification of ethanol from fermentation broths and the hydroisomerization of alkanes with 18-30 carbon atoms encountered in petroleum refining. These results demonstrate that predictive modelling and data-driven science can now be applied to solve some of the most challenging separation problems involving highly non-ideal mixtures and highly articulated compounds.

AB The electronic band gap is a fundamental material parameter requiring control for light harvesting, conversion and transport technologies, including photovoltaics, lasers and sensors. Although traditional methods to tune band gaps rely on chemical alloying, quantum size effects, lattice mismatch or superlattice formation, the spectral variation is often limited to < 1 eV, unless marked changes to composition or structure occur. Here we report large band gap changes of up to 200% or similar to 2 eV without modifying chemical composition or use of epitaxial strain in the LaSrAlO4 Ruddlesden-Popper oxide. First-principles calculations show that ordering electrically charged [LaO](1+) and neutral [SrO](0) monoxide planes imposes internal electric fields in the layered oxides. These fields drive local atomic displacements and bond distortions that control the energy levels at the valence and conduction band edges, providing a path towards electronic structure engineering in complex oxides.

AB Versatile polyelectrolytes with tunable physical properties have the potential to be transformative in applications such as energy storage, fuel cells and various electronic devices. Among the types of materials available for these applications, nanostructured cationic block copolyelectrolytes offer mechanical integrity and well-defined conducting paths for ionic transport. To date, most cationic polyelectrolytes bear charge formally localized on heteroatoms and lack broad modularity to tune their physical properties. To overcome these challenges, we describe herein the development of a new class of functional polyelectrolytes based on the aromatic cyclopropenium ion. We demonstrate the facile synthesis of a series of polymers and nanoparticles based on monomeric cyclopropenium building blocks incorporating various functional groups that affect physical properties. The materials exhibit high ionic conductivity and thermal stability due to the nature of the cationic moieties, thus rendering this class of new materials as an attractive alternative to develop ion-conducting membranes.

AB A central aim of quantum information processing is the efficient entanglement of multiple stationary quantum memories via photons. Among solid-state systems, the nitrogen-vacancy centre in diamond has emerged as an excellent optically addressable memory with second-scale electron spin coherence times. Recently, quantum entanglement and teleportation have been shown between two nitrogen-vacancy memories, but scaling to larger networks requires more efficient spin-photon interfaces such as optical resonators. Here we report such nitrogen-vacancy-nanocavity systems in the strong Purcell regime with optical quality factors approaching 10,000 and electron spin coherence times exceeding 200 mu s using a silicon hard-mask fabrication process. This spin-photon interface is integrated with on-chip microwave striplines for coherent spin control, providing an efficient quantum memory for quantum networks.

AB The long-standing issues of low intrinsic electronic conductivity, slow lithium-ion diffusion and irreversible phase transitions on deep discharge prevent the high specific capacity/energy (443 mAhg(-1) and 1,550 Wh kg(-1)) vanadium pentoxide from being used as the cathode material in practical battery applications. Here we develop a method to incorporate graphene sheets into vanadium pentoxide nanoribbons via the sol-gel process. The resulting graphene-modified nanostructured vanadium pentoxide hybrids contain only 2 wt. % graphene, yet exhibits extraordinary electrochemical performance: a specific capacity of 438 mAhg(-1), approaching the theoretical value (443 mAhg(-1)), a long cyclability and significantly enhanced rate capability. Such performance is the result of the combined effects of the graphene on structural stability, electronic conduction, vanadium redox reaction and lithium-ion diffusion supported by various experimental studies. This method provides a new avenue to create nanostructured metal oxide/graphene materials for advanced battery applications.

AB Polyelectrolyte complexes present new opportunities for self-assembled soft matter. Factors determining whether the phase of the complex is solid or liquid remain unclear. Ionic polypeptides enable examination of the effects of stereochemistry on complex formation. Here we demonstrate that chirality determines the state of polyelectrolyte complexes, formed from mixing dilute solutions of oppositely charged polypeptides, via a combination of electrostatic and hydrogen-bonding interactions. Fluid complexes occur when at least one of the polypeptides in the mixture is racemic, which disrupts backbone hydrogen-bonding networks. Pairs of purely chiral polypeptides, of any sense, form compact, fibrillar solids with a beta-sheet structure. Analogous behaviour occurs in micelles formed from polypeptide block copolymers with polyethylene oxide, where assembly into aggregates with either solid or fluid cores, and eventually into ordered phases at high concentrations, is possible. Chirality is an exploitable tool for manipulating material properties in polyelectrolyte complexation.

AB The development of non-volatile logic through direct coupling of spontaneous ferroelectric polarization with semiconductor charge carriers is nontrivial, with many issues, including epitaxial ferroelectric growth, demonstration of ferroelectric switching and measurable semiconductor modulation. Here we report a true ferroelectric field effect-carrier density modulation in an underlying Ge(001) substrate by switching of the ferroelectric polarization in epitaxial c-axis-oriented BaTiO3 grown by molecular beam epitaxy. Using the density functional theory, we demonstrate that switching of BaTiO3 polarization results in a large electric potential change in Ge. Aberration-corrected electron microscopy confirms BaTiO3 tetragonality and the absence of any low-permittivity interlayer at the interface with Ge. The non-volatile, switchable nature of the single-domain out-of-plane ferroelectric polarization of BaTiO3 is confirmed using piezoelectric force microscopy. The effect of the polarization switching on the conductivity of the underlying Ge is measured using microwave impedance microscopy, clearly demonstrating a ferroelectric field effect.

AB Large-scale organic electronics manufacturing requires solution processing. For small-molecule organic semiconductors, solution processing results in crystalline domains with high charge mobility, but the interfaces between these domains impede charge transport, degrading device performance. Although understanding these interfaces is essential to improve device performance, their intermolecular and electronic structure is unknown: they are smaller than the diffraction limit, are hidden from surface probe techniques, and their nanoscale heterogeneity is not typically resolved using X-ray methods. Here we use transient absorption microscopy to isolate a unique signature of a hidden interface in a TIPS-pentacene thin film, exposing its exciton dynamics and intermolecular structure. Surprisingly, instead of finding an abrupt grain boundary, we reveal that the interface can be composed of nanoscale crystallites interleaved by a web of interfaces that compound decreases in charge mobility. Our novel approach provides critical missing information on interface morphology necessary to correlate solution-processing methods to optimal device performance.

AB Recent studies of fast ion transport resulting from a range of instabilities, including n = 1 internal kink modes (fishbones and long-lived modes), toroidal Alfven eigenmodes and sawteeth have been carried out at MAST. Strong correlations were found between relative changes in magnetic edge coils signals, edge D a signal a fast ion D a system, a prototype collimated neutron flux monitor and a recently installed prototype charged fusion product detector array, indicating both redistribution and loss of fast ions. Preliminary interpretation of these observations with a suite of stability, modelling and interpretative codes is discussed.

AB Magnetic reconnection, a ubiquitous phenomenon in astrophysics, space science and magnetic confinement research, frequently proceeds much faster than predicted by simple resistive MHD theory. Acceleration can result from the break-up of the thin Sweet-Parker current sheet into plasmoids, or from two-fluid effects decoupling mass and magnetic flux transport over the ion inertial length v(A)/omega(ci) or the drift scale root T-e/m(i)/omega(ci), depending on the absence or presence of a strong magnetic guide field. We describe new results on the modelling of sawtooth reconnection in a simple tokamak geometry (circular cylindrical equilibrium) pushed to realistic Lundquist numbers for present day tokamaks. For the resistive MHD case, the onset criteria and the influence of plasmoids on the reconnection process agree well with earlier results found in the case of vanishing magnetic guide fields. While plasmoids are also observed in two-fluid calculations, they do not dominate the reconnection process for the range of plasma parameters considered in this study. In the two-fluid case they form as a transient phenomenon only. The reconnection times become weakly dependent on the S-value and for the most complete model-including two-fluid effects and equilibrium temperature and density gradients-agree well with those experimentally found on ASDEX Upgrade (<= 100 mu s).

AB The decomposition of ortho-benzyne radicals (o-C6H4), generated from the dissociation of a new precursor, fluorobenzene (C6H5F), has been investigated in a diaphragmless shock tube in a combined laser schlieren densitometry, LS, (P-2 = 30 +/- 2, 59 +/- 3, 121 +/- 5 Torr, 2050 < T-2 < 2980)/time-of-flight mass spectrometry, TOF-MS (P-5 = 1150 +/- 200 Torr, 2300 < T-5 < 2800 K) study. The LS density gradient profiles were simulated, and excellent agreement was found between simulations and experimental profiles. Rate coefficients for C6H5F -> o-C6H4 + HF, o-C6H4 -> C4H2 + C2H2, and o-C6H4 -> C6H3 + H were obtained. Good agreement with Xu et al. [ Proc. Combust. Inst., 31(2007) 231-239] with respect to the o-benzyne dissociation branching ratio was found. However a strong pressure dependence was also observed in o-benzyne dissociation which was not seen by Xu et al. For o-C6H4 -> C4H2 + C2H2: k(2a,) (120Torr) = (1.2 + 0.4) x 10(63) T-14.27 exp(-52,710/T) k(2a,60Torr) = (1.4 + 0.5) x 10(60) T-13.595 exp(-50,538/T), k(2a,30Torr) = (4.0 +/- 1.3) x 10(57) T-13.015 exp(-48,628/T) s(-1). The inclusion of high temperature o-benzyne abstraction reactions is necessary to simulate the reacting system, and we report estimates of the rate of o-C6H4 + C6H5F.

AB The reactions of D/H with n-C4H10 and i-C4H10 have been studied with both shock-tube experiments and ab initio transition state theoretical calculations. D-atom profiles were measured behind reflected shock waves using D-atom atomic resonance absorption spectrometry (ARAS) in mixtures with C2D5I (D-atom precursor, < 1 ppm) and the alkane of interest in excess (> 200 ppm), over the T-range 1063-1327 K, at pressures congruent to 0.5 atm. D-atom depletion in the present experiments is sensitive only to the reactions,
D + n - C4H10 -> products (A)
D + i - C4H(10) -> products. (B)
Simulations of the measured D-atom profiles allow for determinations of total rate constants for the processes (A) and (B). The experimental rate constants are well represented by the Arrhenius equations,
k(A) = 2.11 x 10(-9) exp(-5661 K/T) cm(3) molecules(-1) s(-1) (1074-1253 K)
k(B) = 2.57 x 10(-9) exp(-5798 K/T) cm(3) molecules(-1) s(-1) (1063-1327 K)
The title reactions have also been characterized using electronic structure theory at the CCSD(T)/cc-pV infinity Z//M06-2X/cc-pvtz level of theory. Over the T-range of the present experiments, the ab initio based transition state theory (TST) kinetics predictions for the isotope effects, k(D)/k(H), are near unity. The theoretical predictions are in good agreement with the experimental results and can be represented by the modified Arrhenius equations,
k(A); THEORY = 6.677 x 10(-17) T-2.118 exp(-2700 K/T) cm(3) molecules(-1) s(-1) (500-2000 K)
k(B); THEORY = 5.627 x 10(-20) T-2.934 exp(-1225 K/T) cm(3) molecules(-1) s(-1) (500-2000 K)
To our knowledge, the present experiments are the first direct measurements for the title reactions and the rate constants from this combined experimental/theoretical effort are recommended for use in combustion modeling. Results from the present studies on n-C4H10 and i-C4H10 along with prior studies on C2H6 and C3H8 suggest the applicability of rate rules for H + Alkanes that are based on generic primary, secondary, and tertiary abstraction sites.

AB We mapped out the stationary points and the corresponding conformational space on the C3H5O potential energy surface relevant for the OH + allene and OH + propyne reactions systematically and automatically using the KinBot software at the UCCSD(T)-F12b/cc-pVQZ-F12//M06-2X/6-311++ G(d,p) level of theory. We used RRKM-based 1-D master equations to calculate pressure-and temperature-dependent, channel-specific phenomenological rate coefficients for the bimolecular reactions propyne + OH and allene + OH, and for the unimolecular decomposition of the CH3CCHOH, CH3C( OH) CH, CH2CCH2OH, CH2C(OH)CH2 primary adducts, and also for the related acetonyl, propionyl, 2-methylvinoxy, and 3-oxo-1-propyl radicals. The major channel of the bimolecular reactions at high temperatures is the formation propargyl + H2O, which makes the title reactions important players in soot formation at high temperatures. However, below similar to 1000 K the chemistry is more complex, involving the competition of stabilization, isomerization and dissociation processes. We found that the OH addition to the central carbon of allene has a particularly interesting and complex pressure dependence, caused by the low-lying exit channel to form ketene + CH3 bimolecular products. We compared our results to a wide range of experimental data and assessed possible uncertainties arising from certain aspects of the theoretical framework. (C) 2013 The Combustion Institute.

AB The collisional energy transfer dynamics relevant to the unimolecular kinetics of linear, branched, and cyclic hydrocarbons, including both radicals and saturated and unsaturated molecules, in atomic and diatomic baths is studied via classical trajectories. A set of full-dimensional potential energy surfaces (PESs) suitable for efficient trajectory simulations involving large hydrocarbons (CxHy) colliding with any of seven baths (M = He, Ne, Ar, Kr, H-2, N-2, O-2) is validated against direct dynamics calculations for two small systems. The PESs are then used to calculate Lennard-Jones collision parameters, and a general rule for calculating these parameters based only on the number of carbon atoms and the bath gas is obtained. Next, the PESs are used to calculate low-order moments of the collisional energy transfer function relevant to low-pressure-limit unimolecular kinetics for a total of 266 systems (38 unimolecular reactants in 7 baths), with a focus on the average angular momentum and total energy transferred in deactivating collisions. These moments are used to quantify the relative rotational and total collision efficiencies of the 7 baths for the various hydrocarbon reactants. Trends in the collision efficiencies with respect to the chemical structures of the hydrocarbon reactants are discussed. (C) 2014 The Combustion Institute. Published by Elsevier Inc.

AB An essentially universal assumption of chemical kinetics is that bimolecular reactions only occur between reactants of rovibrational energy described by a Boltzmann (thermal) distribution. Given that the O-2 mole fraction is roughly 20% under nearly all relevant low-temperature combustion situations, there is significant potential for molecules to undergo reactive collisions with O-2 on the same time scale as the energy-transferring collisions necessary to achieving a Boltzmann distribution. Within the context of low-temperature combustion, this phenomenon conceivably gives rise to an entirely non-Boltzmann sequence involving multiple reactions of fuel-derived radicals with O-2 to produce multiple OH radicals. Given the complex interplay among simultaneous internal isomerizations, energy-transferring collisions, dissociations and reactive collisions across multiple reaction surfaces, estimating the extent of deviations from conventional thermal assumptions is not straightforward. A novel methodology is presented for coupling multiple master equations and deriving effective phenomenological rate constants for thermal sets of reactants to thermal sets of products in chemically activated sequences that proceed across multiple reaction surfaces. The methodology is used to establish a better understanding of the nature of non-Boltzmann reactant distribution effects and quantify their magnitude. As a case study, we implement the methodology to explore the effect of non-Boltzmann reactants on product branching fractions of the QOOH* + O-2 reaction from n-propyl oxidation as well as its associated dependence with O-2 mole fraction, temperature, and pressure. While it appears that the effect of non-Boltzmann reaction sequences will be considerably smaller at higher pressures (at least for propane), it appears that consideration of non-Boltzmann reaction sequences is likely required for interpretations of experimental measurements commonly used to investigate the R + O-2 and QOOH + O-2 reactions central to engine-relevant ignition behavior. With regard to observable signatures of these effects in experiments, the presence of a stronger-than-usual O-2 mole fraction dependence may be a likely indicator of non-Boltzmann behavior.

AB A number of reactions on the C3H6 potential energy surface (PES) are of central importance to various combustion environments. High level theoretical methods were used to predict the temperature and pressure dependent kinetics for these reactions. The rovibrational properties of the key stationary points in the systems were determined with the CCSD(T)/cc-pVTZ method. High accuracy energies for these stationary points were obtained via the consideration of basis set, higher-order correlation, core-valence, anharmonic vibrational, relativistic, and diagonal Born-Oppenheimer corrections. Variable reaction coordinate transition state theory (VRC-TST) was employed to treat the barrierless channels on the PES, while, for channels possessing a distinct barrier, rate coefficients were instead obtained with conventional transition state theory employing rigid-rotor harmonic oscillator assumptions. For the VRC-TST calculations, the interaction energies required for the evaluation of the reactive flux were evaluated with the CASPT2/cc-pVTZ approach for the orientational sampling, coupled with one-dimensional corrections based on higher accuracy evaluations along the minimum energy path. A priori predictions for the temperature and pressure-dependent rate coefficients were obtained through master-equation calculations incorporating these TST predictions for the microcanonical rate coefficients coupled with a simple model for the collisional energy transfer rates. These theoretical predictions compare favorably with the limited experimental data. The analysis yields modified Arrhenius rate expressions for the (CH2)-C-1 + C2H4, C2H3 + CH3, CH2CHCH2 + H, CH3CCH2 + H, and CH3CHCH + H recombination reactions as well as for the dissociations and isomerizations of propene and cyclopropane.

AB Petroleum derived gasoline is the most used transportation fuel for light-duty vehicles. In order to better understand gasoline combustion, this study investigated the ignition propensity of two alkane-rich FACE (Fuels for Advanced Combustion Engines) gasoline test fuels and their corresponding PRF (primary reference fuel) blend in fundamental combustion experiments. Shock tube ignition delay times were measured in two separate facilities at pressures of 10, 20, and 40 bar, temperatures from 715 to 1500 K, and two equivalence ratios. Rapid compression machine ignition delay times were measured for fuel/air mixtures at pressures of 20 and 40 bar, temperatures from 632 to 745 K, and two equivalence ratios. Detailed hydrocarbon analysis was also performed on the FACE gasoline fuels, and the results were used to formulate multi-component gasoline surrogate mixtures. Detailed chemical kinetic modeling results are presented herein to provide insights into the relevance of utilizing PRF and multi-component surrogate mixtures to reproduce the ignition behavior of the alkane-rich FACE gasoline fuels. The two FACE gasoline fuels and their corresponding PRF mixture displayed similar ignition behavior at intermediate and high temperatures, but differences were observed at low temperatures. These trends were mimicked by corresponding surrogate mixture models, except for the amount of heat release in the first stage of a two-stage ignition events, when observed.

TI Effect of non-thermal product energy distributions on ketohydroperoxide
decomposition kinetics
SO PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMBUSTION INSTITUTE
LA English
DT Article
DE Low-temperature ignition; Propane oxidation; Master equation; Direct
dynamics; Non-Boltzmann effects
AB The decomposition of ketohydroperoxides (OQ'OOH) to two radicals is commonly predicted to be the key chain branching step in low-temperature combustion. The possibility of a direct decomposition of the OQ'OOH from its initially produced energy distribution is studied with a combination of master equation (ME) and direct trajectory simulations. The temperature and pressure dependent rate constants for the thermal decomposition of a ketohydroperoxide, HOOCH2CH2CHO, to four product channels were computed using RRKM/ME methods. Direct dynamics calculations were initiated from a transition state in the O-2 + QOOH reaction network to understand the fraction of energy in that transition state that is converted into the internal energy of the OQ'OOH. A novel approach to solving the master equation is used to determine the probability that a vibrationally hot OQ'OOH either will be stabilized to a thermal distribution or will react to form new products. Under most conditions, the majority of vibrationally excited OQ'OOH will be quenched into a thermal distribution. At higher internal energies and lower pressures, however, a significant fraction of the hot OQ'OOH will decompose rather than thermalize. Proper interpretation of low-pressure experiments may require inclusion of vibrationally hot intermediates, particularly if a chemical kinetic mechanism is optimized against the low-pressure data.

AB Ketohydroperoxide formation in Cl-atom initiated low-temperature (550-700 K) oxidation of n-butane was investigated using a time-of-flight mass spectrometer and either tunable synchrotron radiation or a H-2 discharge for photoionization. Experiments were performed at 1-2 atm pressure using a new high-pressure reactor and also at similar to 5 Torr pressure for comparison. Direct kinetic observations of ketohydroperoxide formation qualitatively agree with previous atmospheric pressure jet-stirred reactor studies of Battin-Leclerc et al. (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 49 (2010) 3169-3172) where the maximum ketohydroperoxide signal was observed near 600 K. Oxidation of partially deuterated n-butanes provided additional information on the QOOH radical intermediates that proceed to form ketohydroperoxides. The photoionization spectrum of the observed ketohydroperoxide is independent of pressure and is the same when using different deuterium substituted n-butanes, suggesting that one ketohydroperoxide isomer dominates in n-butane oxidation. We conclude that 4-hydroperoxy-2-butyl + O-2 is the main reaction leading to ketohydroperoxide and 3-hydroperoxybutanal is the sole ketohydroperoxide that is observed.

AB An existing detailed and broadly validated kinetic scheme is augmented to capture the flame chemistry of 1-hexene under stoichiometric and fuel rich conditions including benzene formation pathways. In addition, the speciation in a premixed stoichiometric 1-hexene flame (flat-flame McKenna-type burner) has been studied under a reduced pressure of 20-30 mbar applying flame-sampling molecular-beam time-of-flight mass spectrometry and photoionization by tunable vacuum-ultraviolet synchrotron radiation. Mole fraction profiles of 40 different species have been measured and validated against the new detailed chemical reaction model consisting of 275 species and 3047 reversible elementary reactions. A good agreement of modelling results with the experimentally observed mole fraction profiles has been found under both stoichiometric and fuel rich conditions providing a sound basis for analyzing benzene formation pathways during 1-hexene combustion. The analysis clearly shows that benzene formation via the fulvene intermediate is a very important pathway for 1-hexene. (C) 2014 The Combustion Institute. Published by Elsevier Inc.

AB High pressure, single pulse shock tube oxidation experiments were conducted in order to probe the chemical kinetic effects of the double bond position in long alkenes. All oxidation experiments were carried out with approximately 100 ppm of 1-decene, cis-2-decene, cis-5-decene, and trans-5-decene, in argon, at stoichiometric conditions. The experimental conditions covered the pressure range of 40-66 bar and temperature range of 850-1500 K, with an average reaction time of 2 ms. Gas chromatographic measurements of the stable intermediates indicated increased reactivity for the isomers with more centrally located double bonds, with no influence from the cis-trans configuration observed at these conditions. Significantly different yields in most of the intermediate species measured were observed. Chemical kinetic models were assembled with the aid of Reaction Mechanism Generator where these are able to adequately predict the major product species of all isomers investigated. Simulation of the experiments indicates significantly different reaction pathways that each decene isomers undergoes, controlled entirely by the position of the double bond. The implication for fuels with such molecular structure is that reactivity, as well as pollutant formation characteristics can be significantly different depending on the position of the double bond in very similar molecules.

AB Aromatic species represent a significant fraction (about one third by weight) of both diesel and gasoline fuels. Much of the aromatics in diesel and gasoline are alkyl-benzene species. Although toluene, the lightest of the alkyl-benzenes, has been the subject of extensive literature investigations, very little experimental data are available for heavier alkyl-benzenes (9-20 carbon atoms) relevant to diesel fuel.
In this work, the burning velocity of ethyl-, n-propyl- and n-butyl-benzenes were measured in a premixed flat-flame burner using the heat flux method. The burning velocities were measured as a function of the equivalence ratio at atmospheric pressure and for two unburned gas temperatures (358 and 398 K). These new experiments are compared with burning velocities for toluene previously measured by the authors. The comparisons showed that ethyl-benzene has the highest flame speed, followed by n-propyl- and n-butyl-benzenes which have similar burning velocities. Toluene has the lowest flame speed. Excellent agreement was observed between the new measurements and simulations using a mechanism for alkyl-benzenes recently published by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and National University of Ireland.
Based on the strong correlation between experiments and calculations, different aspects contributing to the burning speed of the fuels (thermal effects, kinetics,...) were analyzed using the model. A sensitivity analysis was used to determine the reaction rate constants that are most important in determining the flame speed. Reaction path analysis and species profiles in the flame were used to identify the key reaction paths that lead to increase or decrease in the burning velocities. Contrary to what is generally observed for alkanes whose flame speed is controlled by small radical fragments, the flame speed of aromatics is influenced by fuel specific intermediates such as phenyl, benzyl, or even heavier species. The new experimental data and modeling insight generated by this work will support the development of models for heavier alkyl-aromatics of great relevance to diesel fuel.

AB The chlorine atom-initiated oxidation of two unsaturated primary C5 alcohols, prenol (3-methyl-2-buten-1-ol, (CH3)(2)CCHCH2OH) and isoprenol (3-methyl-3-buten-1-ol, CH2C(CH3) CH2CH2OH), is studied at 550 K and low pressure (8 Torr). The time-and isomer-resolved formation of products is probed with multiplexed photoionization mass spectrometry (MPIMS) using tunable vacuum ultraviolet ionizing synchrotron radiation. The peroxy radical chemistry of the unsaturated alcohols appears much less rich than that of saturated C4 and C5 alcohols. The main products observed are the corresponding unsaturated aldehydes -prenal (3-methyl-2-butenal) from prenol oxidation and isoprenal (3-methyl-3-butenal) from isoprenol oxidation. No significant products arising from QOOH chemistry are observed. These results can be qualitatively explained by the formation of resonance stabilized allylic radicals via H-abstraction in the Cl + prenol and Cl + isoprenol initiation reactions. The loss of resonance stabilization upon O-2 addition causes the energies of the intermediate wells, saddle points, and products to increase relative to the energy of the initial radicals and O-2. These energetic shifts make most product channels observed in the peroxy radical chemistry of saturated alcohols inaccessible for these unsaturated alcohols. The experimental findings are underpinned by quantum-chemical calculations for stationary points on the potential energy surfaces for the reactions of the initial radicals with O-2. Under our conditions, the dominant channels in prenol and isoprenol oxidation are the chain-terminating HO2-forming channels arising from radicals, in which the unpaired electron and the -OH group are on the same carbon atom, with stable prenal and isoprenal co-products, respectively. These findings suggest that the presence of C=C double bonds in alcohols will reduce low-temperature reactivity during autoignition. (C) 2014 The Combustion Institute. Published by Elsevier Inc.

AB Although the reactions of fuel-radicals with other dominant flame radicals such as H and CH3 are important reactions in low-pressure flames, they have not been well studied. These reactions may occur through either recombination to form stabilized molecular complexes or direct abstractions and chemically activated addition-eliminations to yield bimolecular products. Here, the role of such reactions in low-pressure flames of ethanol and methylformate is studied through a combination of theoretical characterizations of key reactions and detailed kinetic modeling. In particular, H and CH3 + fuel-radical reactions have been characterized theoretically in this work and these are shown to make a pronounced impact on the formation of intermediates. Theoretical calculations for H + CH3CHOH and CH3 + CH3CHOH predict that at low pressures recombinations are minor processes with well-skipping (addition-eliminations) dominating the reaction flux. Direct abstraction was also considered in H + CH3CHOH and theory suggests that abstraction at the CH3-site forming CH2CHOH is the only important channel. Notably, this result is counter to analogy based predictions that CH3CHO should be the dominant abstraction product. Low-pressure ethanol flame simulations indicate that addition-elimination reactions from H + CH3CHOH and CH3 + CH3CHOH are a major source for C2H4 and C3H6 profiles, respectively. Similar results are observed in simulations of a low-pressure methylformate flame, where addition-elimination reactions of H + CH2OCHO and CH3 + CH2OCHO have a significant impact on CH3OH and C2H4 mole fraction profiles, respectively. The present results suggest that the well-skipping reactions of relatively stable fuel-radicals with ubiquitous flame radicals such as H, O, OH, and CH3 should be considered extensively in combustion models.

AB Final burnout of char particles from practical fuels such as coal and biomass occurs in the presence of a large ash component. Also, newly utilized coal resources, such as those from India, often contain much larger ash fractions than have traditionally been utilized. In the past, the inhibitory influence of ash on pulverized coal particle combustion has been most frequently modeled using an ash film model, though such films are rarely found when examining partially combusted particles. Conversely, some measurements have suggested that mineral components exposed on the surface of burning pulverized coal (pc) particles may diffuse back into the char matrix, the effect of which can be modeled as an ash dilution effect. To explore the implications of these different ash inhibition models on the temporal evolution of char combustion during burnout, we have developed a new computational model that considers the possibility of an ash film effect, an ash dilution effect, or some arbitrary combination of the two effects acting in tandem, which is the most realistic scenario. This new model predicts that restricted diffusion through the ash film has a significant impact on the char burnout rate throughout its lifetime, whereas char dilution only inhibits combustion significantly when most of the char has been consumed and the combustion mode shifts from predominantly external diffusion control to mixed diffusion control, with sensitivity to both external and internal diffusion resistance. The comparison of the model predictions with experimental results also confirms the previously suggested need to include gasification reaction steps when modeling coal char combustion.

AB This study investigates the autoignition behavior of two gasoline surrogates doped with an alkyl nitrate cetane enhancer, 2-ethyl-hexyl nitrate (2EHN) to better understand dopant interactions with the fuels, including influences of accelerating kinetic pathways and enhanced exothermicity. A primary reference fuel (PRF) blend of n-heptane/iso-octane, and a toluene reference fuel (TRF) blend of n-heptane/iso-octane/toluene are used where the aromatic fraction of the latter is set to 20% (liquid volume), while the content of n-heptane is adjusted so that the overall reactivity of the undoped fuels is similar, e.g., Anti-Knock Index (AKI) of similar to 91, Cetane Number (CN) similar to 25. Doping levels of 0.1, 1.0 and 3.0% (liquid volume basis) are used where tests are conducted within a rapid compression machine (RCM) at a compressed pressure of 21 bar, covering temperatures from 675 to 1025 K with stoichiometric fuel-oxygen ratios at O-2 = 11.4%.
At the experimental conditions, it is found that the doping effectiveness of 2EHN is fairly similar between the two fuels, though 2EHN is more effective in the aromatic blend at the lowest temperatures, while it is slightly more effective in the non-aromatic blend at intermediate temperatures. Kinetic modeling of the experiments indicates that although some of the reactivity trends can be captured using a detailed model, the extents of predicted Cetane Number enhancement by 2EHN are too large, while differences in fuel interactions for the two fuels result in excessive stimulation of the non-aromatic blend. Sensitivity analysis using the kinetic model indicates that the CH2O and CH3O2 chemistry are very sensitive to the dopant at all conditions. The rate of 2EHN decomposition is only important at low temperatures where its decomposition rate is slow due to the high activation energy of the reaction. At higher temperatures, dopant-derived 3-heptyl radicals are predicted to play an important role stimulating ignition. Finally, nitrogen chemistry is important through the 'NO - NO2 loop' where this can generate substantial amounts of OH. However, at the highest doping levels the formation of methyl and ethyl nitrite, and nitric acid significantly competes with this so that less OH is generated and this constrains the reactivity enhancement of 2EHN.

AB The adaptive preconditioners developed in this paper substantially reduce the computational cost of integrating large kinetic mechanisms using implicit ordinary differential equation (ODE) solvers. For a well-stirred reactor, the speedup of the new method is an order of magnitude faster than recent approaches based on direct, sparse linear system solvers. Moreover, the new method is up to three orders of magnitude faster than traditional implementations of the ODE solver where the Jacobian information is generated automatically via finite differences, and the factorization relies on standard, dense matrix operations. Unlike mechanism reduction strategies, the adaptive preconditioners do not alter the underlying system of differential equations. Consequently, the new method achieves its performance gains without any loss of accuracy to within the local error controlled by the ODE solver. Such speedup allows higher fidelity mechanism chemistry to be coupled with multi-dimensional fluid dynamics simulations. (C) 2014 Published by Elsevier Inc. on behalf of The Combustion Institute.

AB A paradigm is described and demonstrated for rigorously evaluating model-versus-data agreement while extracting new insights for improving the model and experiment. "Bound-to-Bound Data Collaboration" (B2B-DC) is augmented with an Instrumental Model, integrating uncertainty quantification of the reactor model, chemical model, and data analysis. The subject of analysis is a fuel-lean C2H2/O-2/Ar premixed laminar flat flame, mapped with VUV-photoionization molecular-beam mass spectrometry at the Advanced Light Source of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Experimental signals were modeled with a CHEMKIN flame code augmented with an Instrumental Model. Consistency of the model and raw experimental data are determined as a quantitative measure of their agreement. Features of the mole-fraction profiles are predicted for O, OH, C2H3, and background contributions to H2O measurements. Also computed are posterior distributions of the initial targets and model parameters, as well as their correlations. This approach to model-versus-data assessment promises to advance the science and practical utility of modeling, establishing validity rigorously while identifying and ranking the impacts of specific model and data uncertainties for model and data improvements.

AB The self-accelerating expanding cylindrical stoichiometric hydrogen-air flames at eight atmospheres were studied via two-dimensional direct numerical simulation (DNS) of the full compressible NavierStokes equations with detailed chemistry. The flame morphology and propagation were finely resolved by the application of a time step of 2.5 ns and a grid size of 4 mu m. Temporally, the intermittent propagation of the flame front is captured through examining its propagation velocity. Spatially, the flame front is found to be comprised of segments exhibiting similar propagation properties, i.e. the intermittent instantaneous propagation of the flame front is attributed to the development of cellular structures induced by hydrodynamic instability. The long-term average propagation velocity of the flame front is described by a power law, with a self-acceleration exponent of 1.22 for the flame radius with respect to time. The increase in the global flame velocity is shown to be primarily a consequence of increased flame surface area, with the local front propagation velocity remaining largely at the constant laminar flame speed for the near-unity Lewis number mixture studied herein.

AB The oxidation of 1,3-butadiene/n-butanol flames was studied in a combined experimental and modeling work. The goal is to provide a detailed combustion chemistry model that allows for identification of the important pathways for butadiene and butanol oxidation as well as the formation of soot precursors and aromatics. Therefore, the chemical composition has been investigated for three low-pressure (20-30 Torr) premixed flames, with different shares of butanol ranging between 25% and 75% compared to butadiene in 50% argon. Mole fraction profiles of reactants, products, and intermediates including C3Hx and C4Hx radicals as well as mono-aromatics such as benzyl radicals, were measured quantitatively as a function of height above burner surface employing flame-sampled molecular-beam mass spectrometry (MBMS) utilizing photoionization with tunable vacuum-ultraviolet synchrotron radiation. The comparison of measured species profiles with modeling results provides a comprehensive view of the reaction model's quality and predictive capability with respect to the combustion chemistry of 1,3-butadiene and n-butanol under the current low-pressure, high-temperature conditions. In general, a good agreement was found between experimental and modeled results. Reaction flux and sensitivity analysis were used to get more insights into the combustion of the fuels.

AB Quantitative species data for the development and critical examination of combustion mechanisms are in high demand regarding the need for predictive combustion models that may assess the emission potential of current and emerging fuels. Mass spectrometric investigation is one of the often-used techniques to provide mole fractions of stable and reactive intermediates including radicals from specifically designed laboratory experiments. Molecular-beam mass spectrometry (MBMS) has been coupled with electron ionization (EI) and photoionization (PI) to determine the species compositions, and combinations of these techniques have been successful in the investigation of the combustion pathways in flames of numerous hydrocarbon, oxygenated and nitrogenated fuels. Photoelectron/photoion coincidence spectroscopy (PEPICO) has recently emerged as a novel diagnostics to be combined with flame-sampling mass spectrometry, and its potential as a complement of existing techniques is just about being explored. In a multi-laboratory investigation, the present study has thus combined four different MBMS spectrometers (in Bielefeld, Germany, the Advanced Light Source in Berkeley, USA, the Swiss Light Source in Villigen, Switzerland, and the SOLEIL synchrotron in St. Aubin, France) to study a rich premixed argon-diluted low-pressure (40 mbar) ethylene-oxygen flame under comparable conditions. This was done with the aim of illustrating the respective properties and capabilities of the methods under these conditions, with an emphasis on the power offered by the synchrotron-based techniques, including PEPICO, for combustion chemistry studies. Examples include comparisons of selected species quantification as well as PEPICO spectra measured at different instruments. (C) 2014 The Combustion Institute. Published by Elsevier Inc.

AB The flame structure of a fuel-rich (phi = 2.4), laminar premixed, and lightly sooting acetylene flame at 40 mbar and the influence of ethanol addition on the species pool was investigated. Special emphasis was put on the analysis of important soot precursors like propargyl, benzene, and the polyynes. The mole fractions of more than 50 stable and radical species up to m/z = 170 are obtained experimentally in the flames by molecular-beam mass spectrometry (MBMS) in combination with single-photon ionization (SPI) by vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) radiation from the Advanced Light Source (ALS) in Berkeley, CA, USA. For the neat acetylene flame, successful measurements were performed with a combination of MBMS and imaging photoelectron photoion coincidence spectrometry (iPEPICO) at the VUV beamline at the Swiss Light Source (SLS) in Villigen, Switzerland and adding additional species information to the data set. Some interesting isomers (C3H2, C4H5, C4H2O) can be clearly identified by comparison of measured photoionization efficiency (PIE) curves or threshold photoelectron (TPE) spectra with Franck-Condon simulations or literature spectra, respectively. Because of apparatus improvements, the chemical resolution in this study goes beyond prior work and provides a high-quality data set for the development of reaction mechanisms at fuel-rich, low-pressure conditions.

AB This paper presents a detailed investigation of 2-methylbutanol combustion chemistry in low-pressure premixed flames. This chemistry is of particular interest to study because this compound is potentially a lignocellulosic-based, next-generation biofuel. The detailed chemical structure of a stoichiometric low-pressure (25 Torr) flame was determined using flame-sampling molecular-beam mass spectrometry. A total of 55 species were identified and subsequently quantitative mole fraction profiles as function of distance from the burner surface were determined. In an independent effort, a detailed flame chemistry model for 2-methylbutanol was assembled based on recent knowledge gained from combustion chemistry studies for butanol isomers ([Sarathy et al. Combust. Flame 159 (6) (2012) 2028-2055]) and iso-pentanol (3-methylbutanol) [Sarathy et al. Combust. Flame 160 (12) (2013) 2712-2728]. Experimentally determined and modeled mole fraction profiles were compared to demonstrate the model's capabilities. Examples of individual mole fraction profiles are discussed together with the most significant fuel consumption pathways to highlight the combustion chemistry of 2-methylbutanol. Discrepancies between experimental and modeling results are used to suggest areas where improvement of the kinetic model would be needed. (C) 2014 The Combustion Institute. Published by Elsevier Inc.

The system includes mass conservation and Navier-Stokes equations as well as those for the energy and species balance. A flame propagates from the closed end of a channel to the open one. An initially planar flame front gets corrugated due to wall friction and thereby accelerates. It is shown that a flame exhibits an exponential state of acceleration only when the thermal expansion coefficient Theta exceeds a certain critical value Theta > Theta(c). The quantity Theta(c) is tabulated as a function of the Reynolds number related to the flame propagation, Re, being Theta(c) approximate to 6 for Re = 5 similar to 20. The major flame characteristics such as the flame propagation speed and acceleration rate are scrutinized. It is demonstrated that the acceleration promotes with H but weakens with Re. In this respect, the present computational results support the theoretical prediction of Bychkov et al. Physical Review E 72 (2005) 046307 in a wide range of Theta and Re. While very good quantitative and qualitative agreement between numerical and theoretical results is found for realistically large thermal expansion, Theta >= 8, agreement deteriorates with decreasing Theta. Specifically, while the theory and modeling do not quantitatively agree for Theta(c) < Theta < 8, they nevertheless demonstrate a qualitative resemblance (the exponential state of acceleration). Finally, no exponential acceleration at Theta < Theta(c) denotes that the theory completely breaks in that case, but this fits other works in the field and thereby allows reconciling various formulations on the flame acceleration.

AB The structure and stabilisation mechanism of partially premixed, laminar, dimethyl ether (DME) flames are investigated using two-dimensional direct numerical simulation (DNS). The simulations are performed at a pressure of 40 atmospheres and at oxidiser temperatures of 700, 900, 1100, 1300, and 1500 K, while keeping the lift-off length approximately fixed by varying the inlet velocity. At this pressure, DME exhibits two stage ignition below approximately 1100 K and a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) regime from approximately 800-1100 K. The DNS results are investigated by considering the thermochemical structure of the flames and by applying a transport budget analysis to key chemical species. The results show a transition from a lifted flame stabilised by conduction and diffusion-assisted flame propagation to a flame stabilised by autoignition with increasing temperature. At 700 K, the flame has a classical tribrachial structure similar to freely propagating edge flames at non-autoignitive conditions. The intermediate temperature cases reveal a complex transition involving multiple heat release pathways upstream of the stabilisation point. At 900 K, the flame consists of a main-tribrachial structure and an additional upstream branch due to low temperature chemistry: this is termed a tetrabrachial flame. At 1100 and 1300 K, two upstream branches are observed in addition to the main tribrachial structure, one due to low temperature chemistry and the other due to high temperature chemistry, which initiates autoignition and stabilises the flame: these are termed pentabrachial flames. At 1500 K, the low temperature upstream branch is suppressed, so there is only one upstream branch due to high temperature chemistry which proceeds to autoignition, this flame has a tetrabrachial structure, but one which is different from that observed in the 900 K case.

AB We address the forward uncertainty quantification problem in large eddy simulation (LES) of a turbulent non-premixed hydrocarbon flame, focusing on parametric uncertainty. More specifically, we examine the effect of uncertainty in the Smagorinsky coefficient and turbulent Prandtl and Schmidt numbers on specific quantities of interest. To conduct this analysis 25 LES simulations are performed, from which a surrogate model is built, based on polynomial chaos expansion, for the quantities of interest. This enables global sensitivity analysis and forward propagation of uncertainty, providing marginal and joint distributions on the quantities of interest. A non-intrusive method is used to construct the surrogate models, avoiding the need to modify the deterministic LES forward solver. The accuracy of the surrogates is examined using global error measures. The results provide insights into the underlying structure of the LES simulation, the impact of varying parameters on specific observables, and correlations among different quantities of interest.

AB Results are presented here from a three-dimensional direct numerical simulation of a temporally-evolving planar slot jet flame and experimental measurements within a spatially-evolving axisymmetric jet flame operating with DME (dimethyl ether, CH3OCH3) as the fuel. Both simulation and experiment are conducted at a Reynolds number of 13050. The Damkohler number, stoichiometric mixture fraction and fuel and oxidizer compositions also are matched between simulation and experiment. Simultaneous OH/CH2O PLIF imaging is performed experimentally to characterize the spatial structure of the turbulent DME flames. The simulation shows a fully burning flame initially, which undergoes partial extinction and subsequently, reignition. The scalar dissipation rate (chi) increases to a value much greater than that calculated from near-extinction strained laminar flames, leading to the observed local extinction. As the turbulence decays, the local values of chi decrease and the flame reignites. The reignition process appears to be strongly dependent on the local chi value, which is consistent with previous results for simpler fuels. Statistics of OH and CH2O are compared between simulation and experiment and found to agree. The applicability of OH/CH2O (formaldehyde) product imaging as a surrogate for peak heat release rate is investigated. The concentration product is found to predict peak heat release rate extremely well in the simulation data. When this product imaging is applied to the experimental data, a similar extinction/reignition pattern also is observed in the experiments as a function of axial position. A new 30-species reduced chemical mechanism for DME was also developed as part of this work. Published by Elsevier Inc. on behalf of The Combustion Institute.

AB This work presents results of temperature and major species measurements from two turbulent piloted, partially-premixed dimethyl ether (DME)/air jet flames with Reynolds numbers of 29,300 and 58,600. These results are intended to provide a first set of multi-scalar data from a new flame series for the investigation of turbulence-chemistry interaction and the validation of turbulent combustion models using a complex, oxygenated fuel, DME. The current work investigates two Reynolds number cases from the complete DME flame series (five flames) that were formulated to be similar to the well-known Sydney/Sandia piloted jet burner flame series A-F using methane fuels. The flame structure is examined using ensemble mean and rms radial profiles at various axial positions downstream of the nozzle exit as well as statistics conditioned on mixture fraction. Finally, selected results of the two cases are compared to the original methane-based configurations. Finite-rate chemistry effects such as local extinction and re-ignition and their impact on the scalar flame structure are found to be different in the DME/air jet flames as compared to the methane-based jet flames.

AB The effects of combustion on the strain rate field in turbulent jets were studied using 10 kHz tomographic particle image velocimetry (TPIV). Measurements were performed in three turbulent jets: a wellstudied, piloted partially-premixed methane/ air jet flame, Sandia flame C, with low probability of localized extinction; a second piloted jet flame, analogous to flame C but with a reduced pilot flow rate and a high probability of localized extinction; and a non-reacting air jet. Since the jet exit Reynolds number of approximately 13000 was nearly identical in the three jets, differences in the strain rate fields were attributed to the effects of combustion. Spatiotemporal characteristics of the strain rate field were analyzed. Overall, the strain rate norm was larger in the flames than in the non-reacting jet with the most stable flame having the largest values. In all three jets, the compressive strain rate was on average the largest of the three principal strain rates. At high strain rates, the ratios of the compressive and extensive strain rate to the intermediate strain rate were similar to those found in isotropic incompressible turbulent flows. The three-dimensional velocity measurements were used to analyze the spatial distribution of strain rate clusters, defined as singly-connected groups of voxels where the strain rate magnitude exceeded a threshold value. The presence of a stable flame significantly attenuated the number of clusters of intermediate strain rate. Strain rate bursts, corresponding to sudden increases in the number of clusters, were identified in the three jets. Bursts in the non-reacting jet and the unstable flame contained up to twice as many clusters as in the stable flame. The temporal intermittency of intense strain rate clusters was analyzed using the time-series measurements. Clusters with strain rates greater than five times the standard deviation of the strain rate norm were highly intermittent. (C) 2014 The Combustion Institute. Published by Elsevier Inc.

AB Turbulent dimethyl ether (DME) jet flames provide a canonical flame geometry for studying turbulence-flame interactions in oxygenated fuels and for developing predictive models of these interactions. The development of accurate models for DME/air flames would establish a foundation for studies of more complex oxygenated fuels. We present a joint experimental and computational investigation of the velocity field and OH and CH2O distributions in a piloted, partially-premixed turbulent DME/air jet flame with a jet exit Reynolds number, Re-D, of 29,300. The turbulent DME/air flame is analogous to the well-studied, partially-premixed methane/air jet flame, Sandia Flame D, with identical stoichiometric mixture fraction, xi(st) = 0.35, and bulk jet exit velocity, V-bulk = 45.9 m/s. Measurements include particle image velocimetry (PIV) and simultaneous CH2O and OH laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) imaging. Simulations are performed using a large eddy simulation combined with conditional moment closure (LES-CMC) on an intermediate size grid of 1.3 million cells. Overall, the downstream evolution of the mean and RMS profiles of velocity, OH, and CH2O are well predicted, with the largest discrepancies occurring for CH2O at x/D = 20-25. LES-CMC simulations employing two different chemical reaction mechanisms (Kaiser et al., 2000 [20] and Zhao et al., 2008 [21]) show approximately a factor of two difference in the peak CH2O mole fractions, whereas OH mole fractions are in good agreement between the two mechanisms. The single-shot LIF measurements of OH and CH2O show a wide range of separation distances between the spatial distributions of these intermediate species with gaps on the order of millimeters. The intermittency in the overlap between these species indicates that the consumption rates of formaldehyde by OH in the turbulent DME/air jet flame may be highly intermittent with significant departures from flamelet models.

AB The transport of principal strain-rates (si) was experimentally investigated using high-repetition-rate (10 kHz) tomographic particle image velocimetry (T-PIV) and OH planar laser induced fluorescence (PLIF) in a Re-j = 13; 000 turbulent premixed flame. These measurements allowed calculation of the source terms in the s(i) transport equation associated with the strain-rate and vorticity fields. Furthermore, the Lagrangian derivatives of s(i) could be calculated by tracking theoretical Lagrangian fluid particles through space and time using the T-PIV data. These Lagrangian derivatives and the resolved source terms allowed the combined effects of the unresolved source terms to be inferred, namely the pressure Hessian, viscous dissipation, density gradients, and viscosity gradients. Statistics conditioned on the location of the Lagrangian fluid particles relative to the flame showed slight reductions in the strain-rate and vorticity source terms in the flame, indicating that these aspects of the turbulence were attenuated by the flame. Comparing the difference between the inferred source terms in the vicinity of the flame to the non-reacting flow showed that attenuation of s(i) arose due to the combined effects of density and pressure gradients in the flame. The effects of flame-induced dilatation were small relative to the turbulent strain-rate and no change was found in the relative alignment of vorticity and strain-rate in the flame.

AB Several studies have utilized leading points concepts to explain the sensitivity of turbulent burning rates to fuel/oxidizer composition, especially in negative Markstein length mixtures. Leading point theories suggest that the premixed turbulent flame speed is controlled by the flame front characteristics at the flame brush leading edge, or, in other words, by the flamelets that advance farthest into the unburned mixture (the so-called leading points). Furthermore, several authors have postulated that these leading edge flamelets have an inner structure similar to a critically perturbed laminar flame, i.e., the local stretch rate approaches the extinction value, near where the maximum possible laminar burning velocity is reached. In order to investigate these hypotheses for leading points burning rates, this paper analyzes the flame front structure at the leading edge of turbulent, lean (phi = 0.31) premixed H-2/Air flames, utilizing a database of direct numerical simulations (DNS) previously reported by Aspden et al. (2011). We calculate local flame front curvature, thickness, and burning velocity and compare these values to reference quantities obtained from stretched laminar flames computed numerically in different geometrical configurations (a counterflow twin flame, a tubular counterflow flame and an expanding cylindrical flame). These comparisons show that curvatures and burning velocities approach those of "critically" stretched laminar flames for the highest turbulent intensity case, but not for the lower turbulence intensity cases. In all cases, however, the structure of the flame front at the leading edge seems to closely mirror laminar flame calculations. (C) 2014 The Combustion Institute. Published by Elsevier Inc.

AB This paper presents three-dimensional direct numerical simulations of lean premixed hydrogen flames at an equivalence ratio of phi = 0.4 over a range of turbulence levels from Ka = 1-36. The simulations form part of a larger effort to construct a DNS database that can be used by the community for model construction and validation. We have focussed on producing well-resolved simulations at conditions representative of atmospheric laboratory-scale flames. After an overview of phenomenological trends with increasing Karlovitz number, we examine the factors that lead to an observed decorrelation between fuel consumption and heat release in the flame at Ka = 36. We show that in this flame the fuel consumption is greatly enhanced in regions of positive curvature. We also show that the radical pool is enriched throughout the entire flame as Ka is increased. In particular, we identify three reactions that, driven by high molar concentrations of radicals at low temperatures, are responsible for high levels of heat release away from regions of fuel consumption, thereby accounting for the observed decorrelation between fuel consumption and heat release.

AB The topology of turbulent premixed flames is analysed using data from Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS), with emphasis on the statistical geometry of flame-flame interaction. A general method for obtaining the critical points of line, surface and volume fields is outlined, and the method is applied to isosurfaces of reaction progress variable in a DNS configuration involving a pair of freely-propagating hydrogen-air flames in a field of intense shear-generated turbulence. A complete set of possible flame-interaction topologies is derived using the eigenvalues of the scalar Hessian, and the topologies are parametrised using a pair of shape factors. The frequency of occurrence of each type of topology is evaluated from the DNS dataset for two different Damkohler numbers. Different types of flame-interaction topology are found to be favoured in various regions of the turbulent flame, and the physical significance of each interaction is discussed.

AB The scalar filtered mass density function (SFMDF) methodology is employed for large eddy simulation (LES) of the PRECCINSTA burner from DLR. This burner involves a swirling flow configuration and provides a good model of the combustor in gas turbines. In SFMDF, the effects of unresolved scalar fluctuations are taken into account by considering the probability density function of subgrid scale scalar quantities. The modeled SFMDF transport equation is solved numerically via a Lagrangian Monte Carlo scheme coupled with a finite volume flow solver on unstructured grids. The simulated results are assessed via comparison with experimental data and show reasonable agreements. This demonstrates the capability of SFMDF for LES of complex flows, and warrants future applications of the methodology for LES of practical combustor configurations. This work represents one of the first attempts in implementing FDF for LES of a practical gas turbine combustor. (C) 2014 The Combustion Institute. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

TI Stabilization of piloted turbulent flames with inhomogeneous inlets

DT Article
DE Turbulent combustion; Inhomogeneous boundary conditions; Flame
stabilization
ID DISSIPATION; IGNITION; BURNER; FIELD; LES
AB This paper investigates the stabilization mechanism of turbulent jet flames with highly inhomogeneous inlet conditions. A modification of the standard piloted burner is employed here with the addition of a central tube (inner) carrying fuel that can slide within the existing (outer) tube carrying air. Both tubes are located within the pilot annulus and inhomogeneity is varied by translating the inner tube upstream of the jet exit plane. Two flames with identical overall air/fuel ratios, bulk jet velocities, and pilot conditions but different levels of homogeneity in the fuel/air mixture are selected for detailed investigations. Measurements are performed using Sandia's Raman-Rayleigh-LIF line facility, and Large Eddy Simulation (LES) using the stochastic fields approach are also conducted for the same flames. Results reported here focus on the early stabilization region.
The flame with inhomogeneous inlet conditions is more stable being at 57% of blow-off compared to the homogeneous counterpart, which is at 78% of blow-off. It is found that, very close to the jet exit plane, premixed combustion dominates the flame with an inhomogeneous profile. This is in contrast to the homogeneous case, which behaves like a diffusion flame. Further downstream, but still within the pilot region, partial mixing starts to occur between richer samples and hot combustion products. A comparison of the relative conditional scalar dissipation rates, chi(r) shows that in the upstream region, and within the reactive limits, the homogeneous case has higher values of chi(r). Premixed combustion with higher rates of heat release and lower scalar dissipation rates in the near field are therefore key reasons for the improved stability of the flames with inhomogeneous inlets. These findings are corroborated by results from LES. (C) 2014 The Combustion Institute. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

AB Direct numerical simulations of freely-propagating premixed flames in the turbulent boundary layer of fully-developed turbulent channel flows are used for a priori validation of a new model that aims to describe the mean shape of the turbulent flame brush during flashback. Comparison with the DNS datasets, for both fuel-lean and fuel-rich mixture conditions and for Damkohler numbers lower and larger than unity, shows that the model is able to capture the main features of the flame shape. Although further a priori and a posteriori validation is required, particularly at higher Reynolds numbers, this new simple model seems promising and can potentially have impact on the design process of industrial combustion equipment.

AB The transition of classical spray atomization processes to single-phase continuous dense-fluid mixing dynamics with diminished surface tension forces is poorly understood. Recently, a theory has been presented that established, based on a Knudsen-number criterion, that the development of such mixing layers is initiated because the multicomponent two-phase interface becomes much wider than the mean free molecular path. This shows that the transition to mixing layers occurs due to interfacial dynamics and not, as conventional wisdom had suggested, because the liquid phase has heated up to supercritical temperatures where surface tension forces diminish. In this paper we focus on the dynamics of this transition process, which still poses many fundamental questions. We show that such dynamics are dictated by substantial statistical fluctuations about the average interface molecule number and the presence of significant interfacial free energy forces. The comprehensive analysis is performed based on a combination of non-equilibrium mean-field thermodynamics and a detailed modified 32-term Benedict-Webb-Rubin mixture state equation. Statistical fluctuations are quantified using the generally accepted model of Poisson-distributions for variances in systems with a small number of molecules. Such fluctuations quantify the range of pressure and temperature conditions under which the gradual transition to dense-fluid mixing dynamics occurs. The interface begins to deteriorate as it broadens substantially. The related interfacial free energy forces do not instantly diminish only because vapor-liquid equilibrium conditions do not apply anymore. Instead, such forces along with the present interfacial statistical fluctuations are shown to gradually decrease as the interface transitions through the molecular chaos regime and to diminish once the interface enters the continuum regime. Then, the interfacial region becomes a continuous gas-liquid mixing layer with diminished free energy forces that is significantly affected by single-phase real-fluid thermodynamics and transport properties.

AB Imaging has long shown that under some high-pressure conditions, the presence of discrete two-phase flow processes becomes diminished. Instead, liquid injection processes transition from classical sprays to dense-fluid jets with no drops present. When and how this transition occurs, however, was not well understood until recently. In this paper, we summarized a new theoretical description that quantifies the effects of real fluid thermodynamics on liquid fuel injection processes as a function of pressure at typical Diesel engine operating conditions. We then apply the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) technique coupled with real-fluid thermodynamics and transport to analyze the flow at conditions when cylinder pressures exceed the thermodynamic critical pressure of the injected fuel. To facilitate the analysis, we use the experimental data posted as part of the Engine Combustion Network (see www.sandia.gov/ECN); namely the "Spray-A" case. Calculations are performed by rigorously treating the experimental operating conditions. Numerical results are in good agreement with available experimental measurements. The high-fidelity simulation is then used to analyze the details of transient mixing and understand the processes leading to auto-ignition. The analysis reveals the profound effect of supercritical fluid phenomena on the instantaneous three-dimensional mixing processes. The large density ratio between the supercritical fuel and the ambient gas leads to significant penetration of the jet with enhanced turbulent mixing at the tip and strong entrainment effects. Using detailed chemistry, a map of the auto-ignition delay time was calculated in simulation results. This map shows that a large flammable region with low velocity and mixture gradients is generated 250 diameters downstream of the injector. In the experiment, the first ignition site is observed at this location. This correspondence seems to indicate that the ignition location is piloted by the efficient mixing operating at the extremity of the jet coupled with long residence times, low strain rates and low scalar gradients.

AB In this work, we describe experimental studies on the formation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH's) in opposed-flow atmospheric-pressure flames of n-butane, i-butane, i-butene, and i-butanol and on the morphology of nascent soot particles sampled from premixed atmospheric-pressure flames of the same fuels. To identify the major contributors to the molecular growth mechanism in opposed-flow flames, we employed flame-sampling molecular-beam mass spectrometry with electron ionization (EI) and in situ gas-chromatography (GC) with mass spectrometric detection. The EI and GC-EI mass spectra indicate that several pathways with different building blocks can contribute to molecular growth. Besides the commonly accepted hydrogen-abstraction-C2H2-addition steps, we found reactions of the methyl radical to be important steps. This observation is also supported by the complexity of the mass spectra which indicates that at least one of the building blocks is rather small. The importance of phenyl radicals as building blocks seems to be limited. We also sampled nascent soot particles from premixed atmospheric-pressure flames of the above mentioned fuels and used helium-ion microscopy to unravel the influence of the fuel structure on the morphology of the sampled particles. While differences in flame temperatures and residence times are known to influence the particle sizes, the observed different morphologies are likely due to slightly different C/O ratios and potentially the chemical nature of the fuel.

AB We have combined experimental and theoretical approaches to gain new insight into the mechanisms of PAH growth and soot formation. The experimental approach involves aerosol-mass spectrometry in conjunction with vacuum-ultraviolet photoionization of volatile species vaporizing from particles sampled from an Ar-diluted C2H2/O-2 counter-flow diffusion flame at nearly atmospheric pressure (700 Torr). We recorded aerosol mass spectra at different distances from the fuel outlet for fixed ionization energies and in a fixed position while tuning the photoionization energy. The mass spectra contain a large distribution of peaks, highlighting the importance of small building blocks and showing a variety of chemical species that extends beyond the traditional classification of PAHs based on thermodynamic stability. In addition, we performed stochastic simulations of PAH growth in the flame in order to provide better insight into the chemical composition of species associated with peaks in the measured mass spectra. These simulations were conducted using a stochastic nanoparticle simulator (SNAPS). Synthesis of experimental and simulated results showed that peaks in the observed mass spectra generally consisted of a mixture of PAH isomers. At m/z = 154 and 202, for example, experiments and simulations suggested that additional isomers than biphenyl and pyrene are important. Furthermore, the results highlight the importance of odd-carbon numbered species and complex growth paths. The experimental results suggest that species of higher masses can build up concentration ahead of species of lower masses. Our experimental results show, for example, that the peak at m/z = 278 appears closer to the burner outlet than the peak at m/z = 202, i.e., suggesting that a single monotonic growth mechanism is not enough.

AB Theoretical VRC-TST/RRKM-ME calculations were performed to evaluate total rate coefficients and product branching ratios for the oxidation of phenyl and 1- and 2-naphthyl radicals with O-2 at temperatures relevant to combustion (1500, 2000, and 2500 K) and pressures of 0.01, 0.1, 1.0, and 10 atm. The results give the rate coefficients in the range of 3.0-5.5 x 10(-11) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1) with slightly positive temperature dependence, activation energies varying within 2.3-3.3 kcal/mol, and pre-exponential factors of 7-10 x 10(-11) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1). The dominant reaction channel in all three cases is elimination of the oxygen atom from peroxy complexes formed at the initial O-2 addition step and leading to the phenoxy and naphthoxy radical products. The contribution of this channel increases with temperature. Chemically-activated phenoxy and naphthoxy radicals either decompose to the cyclopentadienyl + CO and indenyl + CO products, respectively, or undergo thermal equilibration. The relative yields of the decomposition/equilibration products strongly depend on temperature and pressure in the way that a temperature growth favors decomposition, whereas an increase in pressure favors equilibration. At the lowest temperature considered, 1500 K, the reactions also yield significant amounts of pyranyl + CO (phenyl + O-2) or 1-benzopyranyl + CO (1-naphthyl + O-2). A comparison of the phenyl + O-2 and naphthyl + O-2 reactions reveals that although the general trends in the oxidation kinetics of phenyl and naphthyl radicals are similar, the size and especially the position of the radical site in the aromatic moiety may affect the details of the mechanism and relative product yields.

TI An analytic method for two-dimensional wall motion and product isentrope
from the detonation cylinder test
SO PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMBUSTION INSTITUTE
LA English
DT Article
DE Detonation; Cylinder test; Equation of state
AB The cylinder test provides a measurement of detonation product's ability to perform work on adjacent material. Historically, direct numerical simulation has been required to derive the product energy content and isentrope from experiments of cylinder expansion driven by detonation products. One-dimensional analytic methods have not been able to accurately recover these parameters when the cylinder motion is compressible, exhibiting shocks. For incompressible cylinder motion, analytic one-dimensional approximations more accurately recover the isentrope, but still only approximate the two-dimensional cylinder motion and energy. This work provides a fully two-dimensional model that recovers the exact outer cylinder shape from experimental measurements. The inner cylinder shape and product isentrope are also exactly recovered in the limit of incompressible case motion. An alternate methodology also approximates the inner case shape and isentrope for compressible case motion, effectively allowing accurate isentrope determination for any cylinder test. The isentrope derived from a PBX 9502 cylinder test with compressible motion is shown to agree well with a reference isentrope. The errors associated with the one-dimensional flow assumption are also quantified. The incompressible case model can be used to estimate case shape and velocity from a given isentrope, providing a maximum fragment velocity. (C) 2014 The Combustion Institute.

TI The effect of transverse shock propagation on the shock-to-detonation
transition process for an insensitive explosive
SO PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMBUSTION INSTITUTE
LA English
DT Article
DE Shock; Detonation; Initiation; Transition
AB The one-dimensional (1D) shock-to-detonation transition process has been studied extensively for PBX 9502, resulting in a good ability to predict the time or distance to detonation over a range of planar input shock pressures. The results are often represented as run distance or time versus input shock pressure on Pop plots. In practice, however, input shocks to explosives are often not 1D. Instead, they may be oblique or non-planar. Here, we present results from a series of experiments in which a PBX 9502 slab was bonded on one side to a PBX 9501 slab. The faster detonation in the PBX 9501 slab drove an oblique shock in the PBX 9502. The result was a two-dimensional (2D) shock structure consisting of a region of delayed reaction, referred to as an initiating layer, immediately adjacent to the PBX 9501/9502 interface, and a transition to detonation further from the interface. The initiating layer thickness varied with the input shock pressure, which was controlled by the thickness of the PBX 9501 layer. The results of seven such tests are presented in run-time versus input-shock-pressure space and compared to Pop plots generated with data from 1D experiments. Good agreement was observed, with the 2D results showing similar run-times to detonation, but more scatter for a given input shock pressure. The good correlation between the 1D and 2D data suggests the transverse component of the initiating shock does not have a significant effect on the initiation physics.

DT Article
DE Detonation; High Explosive; Dead Zone; Initiation layer; CYLEX test
ID PBX-9502
AB This paper explores the Dead Zone (DZ) phenomenon in solid High Explosives (HEs), whereby weaker regions of a detonation shock fail to trigger prompt reaction, leaving behind them isolated pockets of substantially unburned explosive. A key unanswered question is the extent to which DZs react in the following flow, and whether they contribute a significant amount of energy on timescales relevant to system deconsolidation. This paper comprises two parts. The first surveys the DZ phenomenon and discusses (1) the multiple contexts in which it arises, (2) what is observed and believed about it, and (3) how it may be broadly categorized. This general perspective sets the stage for the second part, which examines in detail one particular DZ variant called transverse initiation. This case was not chosen because it is the most common or important, but because it is the most amenable to inquiry. (DZ quantification is quite difficult, and the presented experiment is apparently the first conceived to quantify DZs of any type.) The technique uses a modified Cylinder Expansion (CYLEX) test, wherein a faster HE core (PBX 9501, 95 wt% HMX) is surrounded by a slower HE annulus (PBX 9502, 95 wt% TATB). The fast HE drives detonation in the slow HE faster than the latter would naturally propagate; however, in doing so a largely unreacted initiation layer is left in the slow HE adjacent to the fast HE. Combining the usual CYLEX diagnostics with detonation front curvature measurements and invoking a novel analysis based on the Gurney and Taylor methods, the energy release vs time (and distance) is inferred. The result is a similar to 0.3 mu s induction time (similar to 3 mm induction lag), after which the energy release rises in similar to 2 mu s (15 mm) to half its asymptotic value: similar to 86% of the energy released by a PBX 9502 detonation.

DT Article
DE Stratified DISI engine; Combustion variability; Flow/spray interactions;
EGR; Optical diagnostics
AB This study investigates combustion variability of a stratified-charge direct-injection spark ignited (DISI) engine, operated with near-TDC injection of E70 fuel and a spark timing that occurs during the early part of the fuel injection. Using EGR, low engine-out NOx can be achieved, but at the expense of increased combustion variability at higher engine speeds. Initial motored tests at different speeds reveal that the in-cylinder gas flow becomes sufficiently strong at 2000 rpm to cause significant cycle-to-cycle variations of the spray penetration. Hence, the fired tests focus on operation at 2000 rpm with N-2 dilution ([O-2] = 19% and 21%) to simulate EGR. In-cylinder flow, spray, and early-flame measurements are correlated to reveal their effect on the combustion variability.
Results reveal two types of flow/spray-interactions that predict the likelihood of a partial burn. (1) Proper flow direction before injection with a more collapsed spray leads to high kinetic energy of the flow during injection, thus generating a rapid early burn, which ensures complete combustion, regardless of the EGR level. (2) Improper flow direction and less collapsed spray generate low flow energy during the early phase of combustion. For this second type of flow/spray-interaction, application of EGR results in a partial-burn frequency of 30%, whereas without EGR, early combustion is shown to be insensitive to flow variations. Flame-probability maps illustrate that the partial-burn cycles for operation with EGR have a weak flame development in that the flame does not develop uniformly and reliably from the spark plug. Without EGR, the flame development is more repeatable regardless of the type of flow/spray-interaction, at the expense of higher NOx emissions. (C) 2014 The Combustion Institute.

AB Fuel stratification is a potential strategy for reducing the maximum pressure rise rate in HCCI engines. Simulations of Partial Fuel Stratification (PFS) have been performed using CONVERGE with a 96-species reduced mechanism for a 4-component gasoline surrogate. Comparison is made to experimental data from the Sandia HCCI engine at a compression ratio 14: 1 at intake pressures of 1 bar and 2 bar. Analysis of the heat release and temperature in the different equivalence ratio (phi) regions reveals that sequential auto-ignition of the stratified charge occurs in order of increasing phi for 1 bar intake pressure but in order of decreasing phi for 2 bar intake pressure. Increased low-and intermediate-temperature heat release at 2 bar intake pressure compensates for decreased temperatures in higher-phi regions due to evaporative cooling from the liquid fuel spray and decreased compression heating from lower values of the ratio of specific heats. At 1 bar intake pressure, the premixed portion of the charge auto-ignites before the highest-phi regions and the sequential auto-ignition occurs too fast for useful reduction of the maximum pressure rise rate compared to HCCI. Conversely, at 2 bar intake pressure, the premixed portion of the charge auto-ignites last, after the higher-phi regions. More importantly, the sequential auto-ignition occurs over a longer time period than at 1 bar intake pressure such that a sizable reduction in the maximum pressure rise rate compared to HCCI can be achieved.

AB The growth of poly-cyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) soot precursors are observed using a two-laser technique combining laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) of PAH with laser-induced incandescence (LII) of soot in a diesel engine under low-temperature combustion (LTC) conditions. The broad mixture distributions and slowed chemical kinetics of LTC "stretch out" soot-formation processes in both space and time, thereby facilitating their study. Imaging PAH-LIF from pulsed-laser excitation at three discrete wavelengths (266, 532, and 633 nm) reveals the temporal growth of PAH molecules, while soot-LII from a 1064-nm pulsed laser indicates inception to soot. The distribution of PAH-LIF also grows spatially within the combustion chamber before soot-LII is first detected. The PAH-LIF signals have broad spectra, much like LII, but typically with spectral profile that is inconsistent with laser-heated soot. Quantitative natural-emission spectroscopy also shows a broad emission spectrum, presumably from PAH chemiluminescence, temporally coinciding with of the PAH-LIF. (C) 2014 The Combustion Institute.

AB We applied simultaneous schlieren and formaldehyde (CH2O) planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) imaging to investigate the low-and high-temperature auto-ignition events in a high-pressure (60 bar) spray of n-dodecane. High-speed (150 kHz) schlieren imaging allowed visualization of the temporal progression of the fuel vapor penetration as well as the low-and high-temperature ignition events, while formaldehyde fluorescence was induced by a pulsed (7-ns), 355-nm planar laser sheet at a select time during the same injection. Fluorescence from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) was also observed and was distinguished from formaldehyde PLIF both temporally and spatially. A characteristic feature previously recorded in schlieren images of similar flames, in which refractive index gradients significantly diminish, has been confirmed to be coincident with large formaldehyde fluorescence signal during low-temperature ignition. Low-temperature reactions initiate near the radial periphery of the spray on the injector side of the spray head. Formaldehyde persists on the injector side of the lift-off length and forms rapidly near the injector following the end of injection. The consumption of formaldehyde coincides with the position and timing of high-temperature ignition and low-density zones that are clearly evident in the schlieren imaging. After the end of injection, the formaldehyde that formed on the injector side of the lift-off length is consumed as a high-temperature ignition front propagates back toward the injector tip.

AB Hybrid femtosecond/picosecond rotational coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) is developed utilizing a two-beam phase-matching approach for one-dimensional (1D) measurements demonstrated in an impinging jet burner to probe time-resolved head on quenching (HOQ) of a methane/air premixed flame at Phi = 1.0 and Reynolds number = 5000. Single-laser-shot 1D temperature profiles are obtained over a distance of at least 4 mm by fitting the pure-rotational N-2 CARS spectra to a spectral library calculated from a time-domain CARS code. An imaging resolution of similar to 61 lm is obtained in the 1D-CARS measurements. The acquisition of single-shot 1D CARS measurements, as opposed to traditional point-wise CARS techniques, enables new spatially correlated conditional statistics to be determined, such as the position, magnitude, and fluctuations of the instantaneous temperature gradient. The temperature gradient increases as the flame approaches the metal surface, and decreases during quenching. The standard deviation of the temperature gradient follows the same trend as the temperature gradient, increasing as the flame front approaches the surface, and decreasing after quenching.

AB The capability to simultaneously acquire two orthogonal components of a Raman spectrum has been added to the Sandia Raman/Rayleigh/CO-LIF instrument for combustion measurements. This addition allows removing unpolarized fluorescence interference signal from Raman spectra, extending the applicability of the instrument to rich hydrocarbon flames. The optical set-up and the data analysis approach are described. The instrument is tested in challenging rich laminar and turbulent CH4/air flames, deemed inaccessible with the previous instrument. Experimental results show good agreement with laminar calculations performed with Chemkin. The approach also avoids the cumbersome calibration and correction procedures required for data collected with the previous version of the instrument in presence of mild fluorescence interference. The drawback is a drop in the instrument precision, in particular for CO2 and O-2 concentrations. Published by Elsevier Inc. on behalf of The Combustion Institute.

AB This paper presents an experimental study of flame propagation through a partially-premixed flow following ignition. A combination of simultaneous high-speed acetone planar laser induced fluorescence (PLIF) and stereoscopic particle image velocimetry (SPIV) was utilized for time-resolved measurements of mixture fraction, flow field and flame position. This provides access to the major quantities needed to characterize non-premixed flames. High quality mixture fraction measurements with signal-to-noise ratios up to 120 for unity mixture fraction were made feasible using a combination of a conventional high-speed laser at 10 kHz for LIF excitation and a wavelet based de-noising algorithm to reject camera noise. It was observed that flame propagation in the far-field of a partially-premixed jet takes place in a premixed mode, with the flame propagating through highly stratified mixtures until it approaches locations containing mixtures outside the flammability limits. In these areas the flame recedes and further propagation is controlled by mixing processes of air and fuel. Even though flame propagation is then mixing-controlled, the flame is not observed to switch into a non-premixed mode. Instead, mixing ahead of the flame takes place until locally premixed flammable mixtures are recovered for subsequent flame propagation. (C) 2014 The Combustion Institute. Published by Elsevier Inc.

AB Diamondoids are small hydrocarbon molecules which have the same rigid cage structure as bulk diamond. They can be considered the smallest nanoparticles of diamond. They exhibit a mixture of properties inherited from bulk cubic diamond as well as a number of unique properties related to their size and structure. Diamondoids with different sizes and shapes can be separated and purified, enabling detailed studies of the effects of size and structure on the diamondoids' properties and also allowing the creation of chemically functionalized diamondoids which can be used to create new materials. Most notable among these new materials are self-assembled monolayers of diamondoid-thiols, which exhibit a number of unique electron emission properties.

AB Forecasting solar energy generation is a challenging task because of the variety of solar power systems and weather regimes encountered. Inaccurate forecasts can result in substantial economic losses and power system reliability issues. One of the key challenges is the unavailability of a consistent and robust set of metrics to measure the accuracy of a solar forecast. This paper presents a suite of generally applicable and value-based metrics for solar forecasting for a comprehensive set of scenarios (i.e., different time horizons, geographic locations, and applications) that were developed as part of the U.S. Department of Energy SunShot Initiative's efforts to improve the accuracy of solar forecasting. In addition, a comprehensive framework is developed to analyze the sensitivity of the proposed metrics to three types of solar forecasting improvements using a design-of-experiments methodology in conjunction with response surface, sensitivity analysis, and nonparametric statistical testing methods. The three types of forecasting improvements are (i) uniform forecasting improvements when there is not a ramp, (ii) ramp forecasting magnitude improvements, and (iii) ramp forecasting threshold changes. Day-ahead and 1-hour-ahead forecasts for both simulated and actual solar power plants are analyzed. The results show that the proposed metrics can efficiently evaluate the quality of solar forecasts and assess the economic and reliability impacts of improved solar forecasting. Sensitivity analysis results show that (i) all proposed metrics are suitable to show the changes in the accuracy of solar forecasts with uniform forecasting improvements, and (ii) the metrics of skewness, kurtosis, and Renyi entropy are specifically suitable to show the changes in the accuracy of solar forecasts with ramp forecasting improvements and a ramp forecasting threshold.

AB Biomass pyrolysis is a promising technology for the production of renewable fuels and chemicals from nonfood biomass. Given the potential of pyrolysis as a viable, cost-effective biomass deconstruction method, there is active interest in understanding the chemical transformations at the heart of the technology. It has long been known that the presence of alkali- and alkaline-earth-metal ions in biomass, such as Na+, significantly alters product yields of biomass pyrolysis, but the mechanism behind this effect has not been elucidated. In this work, we employ density functional theory (DFT) to reveal the stereoelectronic basis of the effect of sodium ions on several key glucose thermal decomposition reactions, such as the formation of levoglucosan and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF). beta-D-Glucose is of interest for pyrolysis, as it is the monomer of cellulose and a key intermediate in cellulose pyrolysis. alpha-D-Glucose is included in this study, as the two anomers can readily interconvert under pyrolysis conditions. The computational results are consistent with the experimental results for alpha- and beta-D-glucose pyrolysis with NaCl, which demonstrate that the products are the same as those produced in neat pyrolysis, but with differing relative yields. We find that the sodium ion changes the reaction rate coefficients to varying degrees, with approximately 70% of the reactions in this study catalyzed by Na+, approximately 25% inhibited by Na+, and the remainder showing virtually no effect on the rate coefficient. The variations in how the ion modifies the rate coefficient reflect how the particular stereochemistry of the transition state interacts with the ion. The sodium ions have a more subtle effect on reactant electronic structure. The results of this study provide a molecular-level understanding of how naturally occurring salts act as catalysts in biomass pyrolysis.

AB Nafion is an ion-containing random copolymer used as a solid electrolyte in many electrochemical applications thanks to its remarkable ionic conductivity and mechanical stability. Understanding the mechanism of ion transport in Nafion, which depends strongly on hydration, therefore requires a complete picture of its morphology in dry and hydrated form. Here we report on a nanoscale study of dry versus hydrated as-cast 100 nm Nafion membranes using analytical transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and cryogenic TEM tomography, respectively. For the dry membrane, spherical clusters similar to 3.5 nm in diameter corresponding to the hydrophilic sulfonic-acid-containing phase are identified. In contrast, cryo TEM tomography of the hydrated membrane reveals an interconnected channel-type network, with a domain spacing of similar to 5 nm, and presents the first nanoscale 3D views of the internal structure of hydrated Nafion obtained by a direct-imaging approach.

AB Solvent annealing provides an effective means to control the self-assembly of block copolymer (BCP) thin films. Multiple effects, including swelling, shrinkage, and morphological transitions, act in concert to yield ordered or disordered structures. The current understanding of these processes is limited; by relying on a theoretically informed coarse-grained model of block copolymers, a conceptual framework is presented that permits prediction and rationalization of experimentally observed behaviors. Through proper selection of several process conditions, it is shown that a narrow window of solvent pressures exists over which one can direct a BCP material to form well-ordered, defect-free structures.

AB We show catalyst localized at the interface can compatibilize polyethylene (PE) and polylactide (PLA) blends. Telechelic hydroxyl functional PE was synthesized by ring opening metathesis polymerization, which reacted with PLA in melt mixing (shown by adhesion and droplet size reduction). Lewis acid tin catalysts were examined as interfacial reaction promoters, with the goal of interfacial localization. Stannous octoate was shown to localize at the interface by transmission electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and improved dispersion of PLA in PE as compared to uncatalyzed materials and a nonlocalized tin chloride dihydrate.

ID ASYMMETRIC DIBLOCK COPOLYMERS; BARRIER FILMS; COMPOSITE; MIXTURES; SIZE
AB Highly transparent and effective encapsulating materials have become increasingly important for photovoltaic (PV) modules to prevent water vapor molecules from permeating PV cells. The composite consists of block copolymer (PS-b-P2VP), comprised of hydrophobic and hydrophilic parts, and hygroscopic nanocrystals (Magnesium Oxide, MgO) incorporated to enhance water vapor blocking by both presenting obstacles for mass transport and also scavenging water molecules. The water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) values were reduced similar to 3000 times, compared to homopolymer (PS), for both polymer and composite samples. Achieving both high transparency and low WVTR, it is expected that the composite materials can function as an excellent water vapor blocking layer for PV modules.

AB This study applies an efficient optimization technique based on a multivariate adaptive regression spline (MARS) technique to determine the optimal design and engineering of a potential geothermal production operation at a prospect near Superstition Mountain in Southern California, USA. The faster MARS-based statistical model is used as a surrogate for higher-fidelity physical models within the intensive optimization process. Its use allows for the exploration of the impacts of specific engineering design parameters in the context of geologic uncertainty as a means to both understand and maximize profitability of the production operation. The MARS model is initially developed from a training dataset generated by a finite set of computationally complex hydrothermal models applied to the prospect. Its application reveals that the optimal engineering design variables can differ considerably assuming different choices of hydrothermal flow properties, which, in turn, indicates the importance of reducing the uncertainty of key geologic properties. The major uncertainty sources in the natural-system are identified and ranked first by an efficient MARS-enabled total order sensitivity quantification, which is then used to assist evaluating the effect of geological uncertainties on optimized results. At the Southern California prospect, this parameter sensitivity analysis suggests that groundwater circulation through high permeable structures, rather than heat conduction through impermeable granite, is the primary heat transfer method during geothermal extraction. Reservoir histories simulated using optimal parameters with different constraints are analyzed and compared to investigate the longevity and maximum profit of the geothermal resources. The comparison shows that the longevity and profit are very likely to be overestimated by optimizations without appropriate constraints on natural conditions. In addition to geothermal energy production, this optimization approach can also be used to manage other geologic resource operations, such as hydrocarbon production or CO2 sequestration, under uncertain reservoir conditions.

AB Thermal energy storage (TES) and distributed generation technologies, such as combined heat and power (CHP) or photovoltaics (PV), can be used to reduce energy costs and decrease CO2 emissions from buildings by shifting energy consumption to times with less emissions and/or lower energy prices. To determine the feasibility of investing in TES in combination with other distributed energy resources (DER), mixed integer linear programming (MILP) can be used. Such a MILP model is the well-established Distributed Energy Resources Customer Adoption Model (DER-CAM); however, it currently uses only a simplified TES model to guarantee linearity and short run-times. Loss calculations are based only on the energy contained in the storage. This paper presents a new DER-CAM TES model that allows improved tracking of losses based on ambient and storage temperatures, and compares results with the previous version. A multi-layer TES model is introduced that retains linearity and avoids creating an endogenous optimization problem. The improved model increases the accuracy of the estimated storage losses and enables use of heat pumps for low temperature storage charging. Results indicate that the previous model overestimates the attractiveness of TES investments for cases without possibility to invest in heat pumps and underestimates it for some locations when heat pumps are allowed. Despite a variation in optimal technology selection between the two models, the objective function value stays quite stable, illustrating the complexity of optimal DER sizing problems in buildings and microgrids.

AB The purpose of this evaluation was to examine how increasing body armor protection with and without a fighting load impacted soldiers' performance and mobility. Thirteen male soldiers performed one performance (repeated 30-m rushing) and three mobility tasks (walk, walk over and walk under) with three different body armor configurations and an anterior fighting load. Increasing body armor protection, decreased soldier performance, as individual and total 30-m rush times were significantly longer with greater protection. While increasing body armor protection had no impact on mobility, i.e. significant effect on trunk and lower limb biomechanics, during the walk and walk over tasks, greater protection did significantly decrease maximum trunk flexion during the walk under task. Adding fighting load may negatively impact soldier mobility, as greater maximum trunk extension was evident during the walk and walk over tasks, and decreased maximum trunk flexion exhibited during the walk under task with the fighting load.

AB Liquid sampling-atmospheric pressure glow discharge (LS-APGD) microplasma is being developed as a secondary vaporization-excitation source for the optical emission analysis of laser ablation (LA)-generated particle populations. The practicalities of this coupling are evaluated by determining the influence of source parameters on the emission response and the plasma's robustness upon LA introduction of easily ionized elements (EIEs). The influence of discharge current (45-70 mA), LA carrier gas flow rate (0.1-0.8 L min(-1)), and electrode separation distance (0.5-3.5 mm) was studied by measuring Cu emission lines after ablation of a brass sample. Best emission responses were observed for high-discharge currents, low He carrier gas flow rates, and relatively small (<1.5 mm) electrode gaps. Plasma robustness and spectroscopic matrix effects were studied by monitoring Mg(II): Mg(I) intensity ratios and N-2-derived plasma rotational temperatures after the ablation of Sr- and Ca-containing pellets. Plasma robustness investigations showed that the plasma is not appreciably affected by the particle loadings, with the microplasma being slightly more ionizing in the case of Ca introduction. In neither case did the concentration of the concomitant element change the robustness values, implying a high level of robustness. Introduction of the LA particles results in slight increases in the rotational temperatures (similar to 10% relative), with Ca-containing particles having a greater effect than Sr-containing particles. The observed variation of 9% in the plasma rotational temperature is in the same order of magnitude as the short-term reproducibility determined by the proposed LA-LS-APGD system. The determined rotational temperatures ranged from 1047 to 1212 K upon introducing various amounts of Ca and Sr. The relative immunity to LA particle-induced matrix effects is attributed to the relatively long residence times and high power densities (>10 W mm(-3)) of the LS-APGD microplasma.

AB The Blanco Cosmology Survey is a four-band (griz) optical-imaging survey of similar to 80 deg(2) of the southern sky. The survey consists of two fields centered approximately at (R.A., decl.) = (23(h), -55 degrees) and (5(h)30(m), -53 degrees) with imaging sufficient for the detection of L-star galaxies at redshift z <= 1. In this paper, we present our reduction of the survey data and describe a new technique for the separation of stars and galaxies. We search the calibrated source catalogs for galaxy clusters at z <= 0.75 by identifying spatial over-densities of red-sequence galaxies and report the coordinates, redshifts, and optical richnesses, lambda , for 764 galaxy clusters at z <= 0.75. This sample, >85% of which are new discoveries, has a median redshift of z = 0.52 and median richness lambda (0.4L L-star) = 16.4. Accompanying this paper we also release full survey data products including reduced images and calibrated source catalogs. These products are available at http://data.rcc.uchicago.edu/dataset/blanco-cosmology-survey.

AB Nearby resolved dwarf galaxies provide excellent opportunities for studying the dust-producing late stages of stellar evolution over a wide range of metallicity (-2.7 less than or similar to [Fe/H] less than or similar to -1.0). Here, we describe DUSTiNGS (DUST in Nearby Galaxies with Spitzer): a 3.6 and 4.5 mu m post-cryogen Spitzer Space Telescope imaging survey of 50 dwarf galaxies within 1.5 Mpc that is designed to identify dust-producing asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars and massive stars. The survey includes 37 dwarf spheroidal, 8 dwarf irregular, and 5 transition-type galaxies. This near-complete sample allows for the building of statistics on these rare phases of stellar evolution over the full metallicity range. The photometry is >75% complete at the tip of the red giant branch for all targeted galaxies, with the exception of the crowded inner regions of IC 10, NGC 185, and NGC 147. This photometric depth ensures that the majority of the dust-producing stars, including the thermally pulsing AGB stars, are detected in each galaxy. The images map each galaxy to at least twice the half-light radius to ensure that the entire evolved star population is included and to facilitate the statistical subtraction of background and foreground contamination, which is severe at these wavelengths. In this overview, we describe the survey, the data products, and preliminary results. We show evidence for the presence of dust-producing AGB stars in eight of the targeted galaxies, with metallicities as low as [Fe/H] = -1.9, suggesting that dust production occurs even at low metallicity.

AB We describe an extension of the Enzo code to enable fully coupled radiation hydrodynamical simulation of inhomogeneous reionization in large similar to(100 Mpc)(3) cosmological volumes with thousands to millions of point sources. We solve all dynamical, radiative transfer, thermal, and ionization processes self-consistently on the same mesh, as opposed to a postprocessing approach which coarse-grains the radiative transfer. We do, however, employ a simple subgrid model for star formation which we calibrate to observations. The numerical method presented is a modification of an earlier method presented in Reynolds et al. differing principally in the operator splitting algorithm we use to advance the system of equations. Radiation transport is done in the gray flux-limited diffusion (FLD) approximation, which is solved by implicit time integration split off from the gas energy and ionization equations, which are solved separately. This results in a faster and more robust scheme for cosmological applications compared to the earlier method. The FLD equation is solved using the hypre optimally scalable geometric multigrid solver from LLNL. By treating the ionizing radiation as a grid field as opposed to rays, our method is scalable with respect to the number of ionizing sources, limited only by the parallel scaling properties of the radiation solver. We test the speed and accuracy of our approach on a number of standard verification and validation tests. We show by direct comparison with Enzo's adaptive ray tracing method Moray that the well-known inability of FLD to cast a shadow behind opaque clouds has a minor effect on the evolution of ionized volume and mass fractions in a reionization simulation validation test. We illustrate an application of our method to the problem of inhomogeneous reionization in a 80 Mpc comoving box resolved with 3200(3) Eulerian grid cells and dark matter particles.

AB A diverse collection of models are used to simulate the marine boundary layer in the southeast Pacific region during the period of the October-November 2008 VOCALS REx (VAMOS Ocean Cloud Atmosphere Land Study Regional Experiment) field campaign. Regional models simulate the period continuously in boundary-forced free-running mode, while global forecast models and GCMs (general circulation models) are run in forecast mode. The models are compared to extensive observations along a line at 20 degrees S extending westward from the South American coast. Most of the models simulate cloud and aerosol characteristics and gradients across the region that are recognizably similar to observations, despite the complex interaction of processes involved in the problem, many of which are parameterized or poorly resolved. Some models simulate the regional low cloud cover well, though many models underestimate MBL (marine boundary layer) depth near the coast. Most models qualitatively simulate the observed offshore gradients of SO2, sulfate aerosol, CCN (cloud condensation nuclei) concentration in the MBL as well as differences in concentration between the MBL and the free troposphere. Most models also qualitatively capture the decrease in cloud droplet number away from the coast. However, there are large quantitative intermodel differences in both means and gradients of these quantities. Many models are able to represent episodic offshore increases in cloud droplet number and aerosol concentrations associated with periods of offshore flow. Most models underestimate CCN (at 0.1% supersaturation) in the MBL and free troposphere. The GCMs also have difficulty simulating coastal gradients in CCN and cloud droplet number concentration near the coast. The overall performance of the models demonstrates their potential utility in simulating aerosol-cloud interactions in the MBL, though quantitative estimation of aerosol-cloud interactions and aerosol indirect effects of MBL clouds with these models remains uncertain.

spectrometry: characterization, improved calibration, and implications

AB Elemental compositions of organic aerosol (OA) particles provide useful constraints on OA sources, chemical evolution, and effects. The Aerodyne high-resolution time-of-flight aerosol mass spectrometer (HR-ToF-AMS) is widely used to measure OA elemental composition. This study evaluates AMS measurements of atomic oxygen-to-carbon (O : C), hydrogen-to-carbon (H : C), and organic mass-to-organic carbon (OM : OC) ratios, and of carbon oxidation state ((OS) over bar (C))for a vastly expanded laboratory data set of multifunctional oxidized OA standards. For the expanded standard data set, the method introduced by Aiken et al. (2008), which uses experimentally measured ion intensities at all ions to determine elemental ratios (referred to here as "Aiken-Explicit"), reproduces known O: C and H: C ratio values within 20% (average absolute value of relative errors) and 12%, respectively. The more commonly used method, which uses empirically estimated H2O+ and CO+ ion intensities to avoid gas phase air interferences at these ions (referred to here as "Aiken-Ambient"), reproduces O: C and H: C of multifunctional oxidized species within 28 and 14% of known values. The values from the latter method are systematically biased low, however, with larger biases observed for alcohols and simple diacids. A detailed examination of the H2O+, CO+, and CO2+ fragments in the high-resolution mass spectra of the standard compounds indicates that the Aiken-Ambient method underestimates the CO C and especially H2O+ produced from many oxidized species. Combined AMS-vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) ionization measurements indicate that these ions are produced by dehydration and decarboxylation on the AMS vaporizer (usually operated at 600 degrees C). Thermal decomposition is observed to be efficient at vaporizer temperatures down to 200 degrees C. These results are used together to develop an "Improved-Ambient" elemental analysis method for AMS spectra measured in air. The Improved-Ambient method uses specific ion fragments as markers to correct for molecular functionality-dependent systematic biases and reproduces known O : C (H : C) ratios of individual oxidized standards within 28% (13 %) of the known molecular values. The error in Improved-Ambient O : C (H : C) values is smaller for theoretical standard mixtures of the oxidized organic standards, which are more representative of the complex mix of species present in ambient OA. For ambient OA, the Improved-Ambient method produces O : C (H : C) values that are 27% (11 %) larger than previously published Aiken-Ambient values; a corresponding increase of 9% is observed for OM : OC values. These results imply that ambient OA has a higher relative oxygen content than previously estimated. The (OS) over bar (C) values calculated for ambient OA by the two methods agree well, however (average relative difference of 0.06 (OS) over bar (C) units). This indicates that (OS) over bar (C) is a more robust metric of oxidation than O : C, likely since (OS) over bar (C) is not affected by hydration or dehydration, either in the atmosphere or during analysis.

AB The mineralogy of desert dust is important due to its effect on radiation, clouds and biogeochemical cycling of trace nutrients. This study presents the simulation of dust radiative forcing as a function of both mineral composition and size at the global scale, using mineral soil maps for estimating emissions. Externally mixed mineral aerosols in the bulk aerosol module in the Community Atmosphere Model version 4 (CAM4) and internally mixed mineral aerosols in the modal aerosol module in the Community Atmosphere Model version 5.1 (CAM5) embedded in the Community Earth System Model version 1.0.5 (CESM) are speciated into common mineral components in place of total dust. The simulations with mineralogy are compared to available observations of mineral atmospheric distribution and deposition along with observations of clear-sky radiative forcing efficiency. Based on these simulations, we estimate the all-sky direct radiative forcing at the top of the atmosphere as + 0.05 W m(-2) for both CAM4 and CAM5 simulations with mineralogy. We compare this to the radiative forcing from simulations of dust in release versions of CAM4 and CAM5 (+0.08 and +0.17 Wm(-2)) and of dust with optimized optical properties, wet scavenging and particle size distribution in CAM4 and CAM5, -0.05 and -0.17 Wm(-2), respectively. The ability to correctly include the mineralogy of dust in climate models is hindered by its spatial and temporal variability as well as insufficient global in situ observations, incomplete and uncertain source mineralogies and the uncertainties associated with data retrieved from remote sensing methods.

TI Nitrogen control of C-13 enrichment in heterotrophic organs relative to
leaves in a landscape-building desert plant species

AB A longstanding puzzle in isotope studies of C-3 plant species is that heterotrophic plant organs (e.g., stems, roots, seeds, and fruits) tend to be enriched in C-13 compared to the autotrophic organ (leaves) that provides them with photosynthate. Our inability to explain this puzzle suggests key deficiencies in understanding post-photosynthetic metabolic processes. It also limits the effectiveness of applications of stable carbon isotope analyses in a variety of scientific disciplines ranging from plant physiology to global carbon cycle studies. To gain insight into this puzzle, we excavated whole plant architectures of Nitraria tangutorum Bobrov, a C-3 species that has an exceptional capability of fixing sands and building sand dunes, in two deserts in northwestern China. We systematically and simultaneously measured carbon isotope ratios and nitrogen and phosphorous contents of different parts of the excavated plants. We also determined the seasonal variations in leaf carbon isotope ratios on nearby intact plants of N. tangutorum. We found, for the first time, that higher nitrogen contents in heterotrophic organs were significantly correlated with increased heterotrophic C-13 enrichment compared to leaves. However, phosphorous contents had no effect on the enrichment. In addition, new leaves had carbon isotope ratios similar to roots but were progressively depleted in C-13 as they matured. We concluded that a nitrogen-mediated process, hypothesized to be the refixation of respiratory CO2 by phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) carboxylase, was responsible for the differences in C-13 enrichment among different heterotrophic organs, while processes such as fractionating foliar metabolism and preferentially loading into phloem of C-13-enriched sugars may contribute to the overall autotrophic-heterotrophic difference in carbon isotope compositions.

AB Continuous efforts in catalysis research have been devoted towards the development of heterogeneous catalysts that can activate reactions which are catalyzed by homogeneous catalysts. Replacing homogeneous catalysts with their heterogeneous counterparts will enhance the sustainability of the catalytic system, providing a highly recyclable, scalable and efficient setup. Throughout this review we demonstrate that small (< 2 nm), metallic nanoclusters can catalyze a wide range of pi-bond activation reactions that were previously activated by homogeneous catalysts. The small size of the nanoparticles enables their reversible oxidation into catalytically active metal ions. Encapsulation of the metal within a polymeric matrix severely restricts leaching of the highly oxidized metal ions into the solution phase, inducing high catalytic stability and recyclability. Activation of complex, multistep organic transformations with heterogeneous catalysts provides novel opportunities, not accessible with homogeneous catalysts, to control and tune the products selectivity. By designing the molecular properties of the polymeric matrix that encapsulates the metal cluster, high products selectivity, diastereoselectivity and enantioselectivity can be gained. These results demonstrate the capability of mesoscale catalysts, constructed of metallic nanoparticles and an encapsulating layer, to activate a wide array of catalytic reactions with high reactivity and tunable selectivity.

AB The research field of hierarchically nanoporous zeolites has been growing at an enormous pace over the past decades. Hierarchically nanoporous zeolites have versatile structural properties such as high surface area and large pore volume that can alleviate diffusional limitations of conventional zeolites with solely microporous framework. In this review, various synthesis strategies to hierarchically nanoporous zeolites and their structural advantages in catalytic reactions will be reviewed. In the first part, many novel synthetic approaches for hierarchically nanoporous zeolites such as post-demetallation, soft-templating, hard-templating, and dual-pore-generating surfactant-directed methods will be introduced. In the second part, catalytic applications of hierarchically nanoporous zeolites on various chemical reactions involving isomerization, cracking, alkylation and oxidation will be discussed. The present comprehensive review will provide future opportunities and perspectives on the research of hierarchically nanoporous zeolites including their applications to catalytic reactions.

AB Earth abundant metal oxides play a central role as catalysts in the essential chemical transformations of sunlight to fuel conversion, which are the oxidation of water and the reduction of carbon dioxide. The rapidly growing interest in renewable fuel generation by using the energy of the sun has recently led to substantial breakthroughs in the use of first row transition metal oxides as catalysts for oxygen evolution from water. Substantive improvements of rates and lowering of overpotentials have been achieved by exploiting materials properties on the nanoscale, or taking advantage of the synergy of multiple metals. Moreover, knowledge derived from mechanistic investigations with structure specific spectroscopy is accelerating efficiency improvements. Monitoring by time-resolved FT-infrared spectroscopy reveals the molecular nature of active sites, while in situ X-ray and optical spectroscopy under reaction conditions provides insights into the electronic structure of the surface metal centers participating in the catalysis. By combining the bond specificity of vibrational spectroscopy with the metal electronic structure specificity of optical, X-ray absorption or photoelectron spectroscopy, a complete understanding of active surface sites on metal oxides begins to emerge. Charge flow driving the chemical transformations probed by optical spectroscopy across time scales from ultrafast to very slow reveals the processes that control the productive use of charges delivered to the catalyst. Coupling of the water oxidation catalysis at a metal oxide catalyst with carbon dioxide reduction at a heterobinuclear chromophore, which is the goal of the artificial photosystem approach, is demonstrated by a well-defined all-inorganic polynuclear unit.

AB Bimetallic PdZn catalysts supported on carbon black (CB) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were found to be selective for CO-free H-2 production from ethanol at low temperature (250 degrees C). On Pd, the H-2 yield was low (similar to 0.3 mol H-2/mol ethanol reacted) and the CH4/CO2 ratio was high (similar to 1.7). Addition of Zn to Pd formed the intermetallic PdZn beta phase (atomic ratio of Zn to Pd is 1) with increased H-2 yield (similar to 1.9 mol H-2/mol ethanol reacted) and CH4/CO2 ratio of <1. The higher H-2 yield and low CH4 formation was related to the improved dehydrogenation activity of the L1(0) PdZn beta phase. The TOF increased with particle size and the CNTs provided the most active and selective catalysts, which may be ascribed to pore-confinement effects. Furthermore, no significant changes in either the supports or the PdZn beta particles was found after aqueous-phase reforming (APR) indicating that the metal nanoparticles and the carbon support are hydrothermally stable in the aqueous phase at elevated temperatures and pressures (>200 degrees C, 65 bar). No CO was detected for all the catalysts performed in aqueous-phase reaction, indicating that both monometallic Pd and bimetallic PdZn catalysts have high water-gas shift activity during APR. However, the yield of H-2 is considerably lower than the theoretical value of 6 H-2 per mole ethanol which is due to the presence of oxygenated products and methane on the PdZn catalysts.

These conditions are, for example, comparable with planetary cores, where material properties play an important role for the properties and evolution of a planet. The rapid compression allows also to study dynamic effects of phase transitions as compression times are comparable to relaxation times. We will present recent results of laser compression of iron reaching conditions of so called "super-Earth" cores.

AB The properties of cementitious materials are related to the microstructure of their binder matrix, which develops, during cement hydration, by a sequence of dissolution-precipitation reactions. Here, microstructural development is monitored during hydration by synchrotron X-ray diffraction-enhanced computed microtomography (XRD-CT). This innovative, noninvasive technique yields images of the crystallographic phases present in the hydrating cement paste at different stages, which are combined to map the sites where dissolution and precipitation occur. The results indicate that the nucleation mechanism of the main hydration product (a calcium-silicate hydrate commonly referred to as C-S-H) changes in the presence of polycarboxylate ether (PCE) superplasticizers. The observed change is essential to understand the development of the cement microstructure and to provide a direct link between the reaction kinetics and the physicomechanical properties of the system.

AB We investigated the roles of three proteins associated with the formation of otoconia including fetuin A, osteopontin (OPN), and otoconin 90 (OC90). In situ atomic force microscopy (AFM) studies of the effects of these proteins on the growth of atomic steps on calcite surfaces were performed to obtain insight into their effects on the growth kinetics. We also used scanning electron microscopy to examine the effects of these proteins on crystal morphology. All three proteins were found to be potent inhibitors of calcite growth, although fetuin A promoted growth at concentrations below about 40 nM and only became an inhibitor at higher concentrations. We then used in situ optical microscopy to observe calcite nucleation on films of these proteins adsorbed onto mica surfaces. By measuring the calcite nucleation rate as a function of supersaturation, the value of the interfacial energy that controls the free energy barrier to heterogeneous nucleation was determined for each protein. OPN and OC90 films led to significantly reduced interfacial energies as compared to the value for homogeneous calcite nucleation in bulk solution. The value for fetuin A was equal to that for bulk solution within experimental error. Zeta potential measurements showed all of the proteins possessed negative surface charge and varied in magnitude according to sequence fetuin A > OC90 > OPN. In addition, the interfacial energies exhibited an inverse scaling with the zeta potential. In analogy to previous measurements on polysaccharide films, this scaling indicates the differences between the proteins arise from the effect of protein surface charge on the solutionsubstrate interfacial energy.

Crystallization
SO CRYSTAL GROWTH & DESIGN

DT Article
ID SELECTIVE CRYSTALLIZATION; GROWTH
AB The thermodynamics and kinetics of crystallization of sodium sulfate with a tripodal tris-urea receptor (L1) from aqueous alkaline solutions have been measured in the 15-55 degrees C temperature range for a fundamental understanding of the elementary steps involved in this sulfate separation method. The use of radiolabeled (Na2SO4)-S-35 provided a practical way to monitor the sulfate concentration in solution by beta liquid scintillation counting. Our results are consistent with a two-step crystallization mechanism, involving relatively quick dissolution of crystalline L1 followed by the rate-limiting crystallization of the Na2SO4(L1)(2)(H2O)(4) capsules. We found that temperature exerted relatively little influence over the equilibrium sulfate concentration, which ranged between 0.004 and 0.011 M. This corresponds to 77-91% removal of sulfate from a solution containing 0.0475 M initial sulfate concentration, as found in a typical Hanford waste tank. The apparent pseudo-first-order rate constant for sulfate removal increased 20-fold from 15 to 55 degrees C, corresponding to an activation energy of 14.1 kcal/mol. At the highest measured temperature of 55 degrees C, 63% and 75% of sulfate was removed from solution within 8 and 24 h, respectively. These results indicate the capsule crystallization method is a viable approach to sulfate separation from nuclear wastes.

AB Multi-year sets of ground-based sun-photometer measurements conducted at 12 Arctic sites and 9 Antarctic sites were examined to determine daily mean values of aerosol optical thickness tau(lambda) at visible and near-infrared wavelengths, from which best-fit values of Angstrom's exponent alpha were calculated. Analysing these data, the monthly mean values of tau(0.50 mu m) and alpha and the relative frequency histograms of the daily mean values of both parameters were determined for winter spring and summer autumn in the Arctic and for austral summer in Antarctica. The Arctic and Antarctic covariance plots of the seasonal median values of alpha versus tau(0.50 mu m) showed: (i) a considerable increase in tau(0.50 mu m) for the Arctic aerosol from summer to winter spring, without marked changes in alpha; and (ii) a marked increase in tau(0.50 mu m) passing from the Antarctic Plateau to coastal sites, whereas alpha decreased considerably due to the larger fraction of sea-salt aerosol. Good agreement was found when comparing ground-based sun-photometer measurements of tau(lambda) and alpha at Arctic and Antarctic coastal sites with Microtops measurements conducted during numerous AERONET/MAN cruises from 2006 to 2013 in three Arctic Ocean sectors and in coastal and off-shore regions of the Southern Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans, and the Antarctic Peninsula.
Lidar measurements were also examined to characterise vertical profiles of the aerosol backscattering coefficient measured throughout the year at Ny-Alesund. Satellite-based MODIS, MISR, and AATSR retrievals of tau(lambda) over large parts of the oceanic polar regions during spring and summer were in close agreement with ship-borne and coastal ground-based sun-photometer measurements. An overview of the chemical composition of mode particles is also presented, based on in-situ measurements at Arctic and Antarctic sites. Fourteen log-normal aerosol number size-distributions were defined to represent the average features of nuclei, accumulation and coarse mode particles for Arctic haze, summer background aerosol, Asian dust and boreal forest fire smoke, and for various background austral summer aerosol types at coastal and high-altitude Antarctic sites. The main columnar aerosol optical characteristics were determined for all 14 particle modes, based on in-situ measurements of the scattering and absorption coefficients. Diurnally averaged direct aerosol-induced radiative forcing and efficiency were calculated for a set of multimodal aerosol extinction models, using various Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function models over vegetation-covered, oceanic and snow-covered surfaces. These gave a reliable measure of the pronounced effects of aerosols on the radiation balance of the surface-atmosphere system over polar regions. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB Formation and distribution of infiltrated electrocatalyst were controlled through solution chemistry and correlated cathode performance was investigated for a La0.6Sr0.4Co0.9Pt0.1O3-infiltrated solid-oxide fuel cell (SOFC). Selection of solvent and polymeric additives constituting the slip dramatically affected the infiltrate particles' spatial configuration, and finally determined cathode activity under cell operational conditions. The results imply that microstructural features such as 3-dimensional distribution and interconnectivity of infiltrated nanoparticles must be considered when evaluating activity and stability of cathodes. A modified infiltration process utilizing a mixed solvent of low surface tension and functionally sequenced infiltration was effectively applied to manipulate cathode microstructure.

AB The pressure to develop new and renewable forms of energy to combat climate change, ocean acidification, and energy security has encouraged exploration of sources of power generation from the ocean. One of the major challenges to deploying these devices is discerning the likely effects those devices and associated systems will have on the marine environment. Determining the effects each device design and deployment system may have on specific marine animals and habitats, estimating the extent of those effects upon the resiliency of the ecosystem, and designing appropriate mitigation measures to protect against degradation all pose substantial challenges. With little direct observational or experimental data available on the effects of wave, tidal, and offshore wind devices on marine animals, habitats, and ecosystem processes, researchers have developed the Environmental Risk Evaluation System (ERES) to provide preliminary assessments of these risks and to act as a framework for integrating future data on direct interactions of ocean energy devices with the environment. Using biophysical risk factors, interactions of marine animals and seabirds, with ocean energy devices and systems, are examined; potential effects on habitats, and changes in processes such as sedimentation patterns and water quality, are also considered. The risks associated with specific interactions for which data are more readily available are explored including interactions between ocean energy devices and surface vessels, toxicity of anti-biofouling paints, and potential for harm to animals from turbine blade strike. ERES also examines the effect that environmental regulations have on the deployment and operation of ocean energy devices.

AB To assess the effects of tidal energy extraction on water quality in a simplified estuarine system, which consists of a tidal bay connected to the coastal ocean through a narrow channel where energy is extracted using in-stream tidal turbines, a three-dimensional coastal ocean model with built-in tidal turbine and water quality modules was applied. The effects of tidal energy extraction on water quality were examined for two energy extraction scenarios as compared with the baseline condition. It was found, in general, that the environmental impacts associated with energy extraction depend highly on the amount of power extracted from the system. Model results indicate that, as a result of energy extraction from the channel, the competition between decreased flushing rates in the bay and increased vertical mixing in the channel directly affects water quality responses in the bay. The decreased flushing rates tend to cause a stronger but negative impact on water quality. On the other hand, the increased vertical mixing could lead to higher bottom dissolved oxygen at times. As the first modeling effort directly aimed at examining the impacts of tidal energy extraction on estuarine water quality, this study demonstrates that numerical models can serve as a very useful tool for this purpose. However, more careful efforts are warranted to address system-specific environmental issues in real-world, complex estuarine systems.

AB A 3-D coastal ocean model with a tidal turbine module was used in this paper to study the effects of tidal energy extraction on temperature and salinity stratification and density-driven two-layer estuarine circulation. Numerical experiments with various turbine array configurations were carried out to investigate the changes in tidally averaged temperature, salinity, and velocity profiles in an idealized stratified estuary that connects to coastal water through a narrow tidal channel. The model was driven by tides, river inflow, and sea surface heat flux. To represent the realistic size of commercial tidal farms, model simulations were conducted based on a small percentage (less than 10 %) of the total number of turbines that would generate the maximum extractable energy in the system. Model results show that extraction of tidal in-stream energy will increase the vertical mixing and decrease the stratification in the estuary. Installation of in-stream tidal farm will cause a phase lag in tidal wave, which leads to large differences in tidal currents between baseline and tidal farm conditions. Extraction of tidal energy in an estuarine system has stronger impact on the tidally averaged salinity, temperature, and velocity in the surface layer than the bottom layer even though the turbine hub height is close to the bottom. Finally, model results also indicate that extraction of tidal energy weakens the two-layer estuarine circulation, especially during neap tides when tidal mixing is weakest and energy extraction is smallest.

AB Renewable energy harvested from ocean waves, tides, and winds as part of a portfolio of reliable low-carbon energy sources to address climate change and energy security is under consideration by many nations. Engineering designs and characterization of the harvestable resource are moving forward, particularly in Europe, Asia, and North America. At the same time, stakeholders and regulators have expressed the need to understand potential effects on marine animals, habitats, and ecosystem processes. These potential effects are prompting researchers and resource managers to examine interactions of species and ocean areas with energy conversion devices. This volume demonstrates the breadth of disciplines engaged in the quest to understand potential effects and the proactive efforts to develop these new sources of energy to the world, in a responsible manner.

AB One of the most significant challenges faced by hydrogeologic modelers is the disparity between the spatial and temporal scales at which fundamental flow, transport, and reaction processes can best be understood and quantified (e.g., microscopic to pore scales and seconds to days) and at which practical model predictions are needed (e.g., plume to aquifer scales and years to centuries). While the multiscale nature of hydrogeologic problems is widely recognized, technological limitations in computation and characterization restrict most practical modeling efforts to fairly coarse representations of heterogeneous properties and processes. For some modern problems, the necessary level of simplification is such that model parameters may lose physical meaning and model predictive ability is questionable for any conditions other than those to which the model was calibrated. Recently, there has been broad interest across a wide range of scientific and engineering disciplines in simulation approaches that more rigorously account for the multiscale nature of systems of interest. In this article, we review a number of such approaches and propose a classification scheme for defining different types of multiscale simulation methods and those classes of problems to which they are most applicable. Our classification scheme is presented in terms of a flowchart (Multiscale Analysis Platform), and defines several different motifs of multiscale simulation. Within each motif, the member methods are reviewed and example applications are discussed. We focus attention on hybrid multiscale methods, in which two or more models with different physics described at fundamentally different scales are directly coupled within a single simulation. Very recently these methods have begun to be applied to groundwater flow and transport simulations, and we discuss these applications in the context of our classification scheme. As computational and characterization capabilities continue to improve, we envision that hybrid multiscale modeling will become more common and also a viable alternative to conventional single-scale models in the near future.

AB The inhalation of mineral particulates and other earth materials, such as coal, can initiate or enhance disease in humans. Workers in occupations with high particulate exposure, such as mining, are particularly at risk. The ability of a material to generate an inflammatory stress response (ISR), a measure of particle toxicity, is a useful tool in evaluating said exposure risk. 1SR is defined as the upregulation of cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) normalized to cell viability. This study compares the ISR of A549 human lung epithelial cells after exposure to well-characterized common metal-sulfide ore mineral separates. The evaluation of the deleterious nature of ore minerals is based on a range of particle loadings (serial dilutions of 0.002 m(2)/mL stock) and exposure periods (beginning at 30 min and measured systematically for up to 24 h). There is a wide range in ISR values generated by the ore minerals. The ISR values produced by the sphalerite samples are within the range of inert materials. Arsenopyrite generated a small ISR that was largely driven by cell death. Galena showed a similar, but more pronounced response. Copper-bearing ore minerals generated the greatest ISR, both by upregulating cellular ROS and generating substantial and sustained cell death. Chalcopyrite and bornite, both containing ferrous iron, generated the greatest ISR overall. Particles containing Fenton metals as major constituents produce the highest ISR, while other heavy metals mainly generate cell death. This study highlights the importance of evaluating the chemistry, oxidation states and structure of a material when assessing risk management. (C) 2014 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.

AB The marine hyperthermophilic crenarchaeon Ignicoccus hospitalis supports the propagation on its surface of Nanoarchaeum equitans, an evolutionarily enigmatic archaeon that resembles highly derived parasitic and symbiotic bacteria. The cellular and molecular mechanisms that enable this interarchaea relationship and the intimate physiologic consequences to I. hospitalis are unknown. Here, we used concerted proteomic and transcriptomic analyses to probe into the functional genomic response of I. hospitalis as N. equitans multiplies on its surface. The expression of over 97% of the genes was detected at mRNA level and over 80% of the predicted proteins were identified and their relative abundance measured by proteomics. These indicate that little, if any, of the host genomic information is silenced during growth in the laboratory. The primary response to N. equitans was at the membrane level, with increases in relative abundance of most protein complexes involved in energy generation as well as that of several transporters and proteins involved in cellular membrane stabilization. Similar upregulation was observed for genes and proteins involved in key metabolic steps controlling nitrogen and carbon metabolism, although the overall biosynthetic pathways were marginally impacted. Proliferation of N. equitans resulted, however, in selective downregulation of genes coding for transcription factors and replication and cell cycle control proteins as I. hospitalis shifted its physiology from its own cellular growth to that of its ectosymbiont/parasite. The combination of these multiomic approaches provided an unprecedented level of detail regarding the dynamics of this interspecies interaction, which is especially pertinent as these organisms are not genetically tractable.

AB Sampling ecosystems, even at a local scale, at the temporal and spatial resolution necessary to capture natural variability in microbial communities are prohibitively expensive. We extrapolated marine surface microbial community structure and metabolic potential from 72 16S rRNA amplicon and 8 metagenomic observations using remotely sensed environmental parameters to create a system- scale model of marine microbial metabolism for 5904 grid cells (49km(2)) in the Western English Chanel, across 3 years of weekly averages. Thirteen environmental variables predicted the relative abundance of 24 bacterial Orders and 1715 unique enzyme-encoding genes that encode turnover of 2893 metabolites. The genes' predicted relative abundance was highly correlated (Pearson Correlation 0.72, P-value <10(-6)) with their observed relative abundance in sequenced metagenomes. Predictions of the relative turnover (synthesis or consumption) of CO2 were significantly correlated with observed surface CO2 fugacity. The spatial and temporal variation in the predicted relative abundances of genes coding for cyanase, carbon monoxide and malate dehydrogenase were investigated along with the predicted inter-annual variation in relative consumption or production of similar to 3000 metabolites forming six significant temporal clusters. These spatiotemporal distributions could possibly be explained by the co-occurrence of anaerobic and aerobic metabolisms associated with localized plankton blooms or sediment resuspension, which facilitate the presence of anaerobic micro-niches. This predictive model provides a general framework for focusing future sampling and experimental design to relate biogeochemical turnover to microbial ecology.

AB Microbial communities that underpin global biogeochemical cycles will likely be influenced by elevated temperature associated with environmental change. Here, we test an approach to measure how elevated temperature impacts the physiology of individual microbial groups in a community context, using a model microbial-based ecosystem. The study is the first application of tandem mass tag (TMT)-based proteomics to a microbial community. We accurately, precisely and reproducibly quantified thousands of proteins in biofilms growing at 40, 43 and 46 degrees C. Elevated temperature led to upregulation of proteins involved in amino-acid metabolism at the level of individual organisms and the entire community. Proteins from related organisms differed in their relative abundance and functional responses to temperature. Elevated temperature repressed carbon fixation proteins from two Leptospirillum genotypes, whereas carbon fixation proteins were significantly upregulated at higher temperature by a third member of this genus. Leptospirillum group III bacteria may have been subject to viral stress at elevated temperature, which could lead to greater carbon turnover in the microbial food web through the release of viral lysate. Overall, these findings highlight the utility of proteomics-enabled community-based physiology studies, and provide a methodological framework for possible extension to additional mixed culture and environmental sample analyses.

AB Climate feedbacks from soils can result from environmental change followed by response of plant and microbial communities, and/or associated changes in nutrient cycling. Explicit consideration of microbial life-history traits and functions may be necessary to predict climate feedbacks owing to changes in the physiology and community composition of microbes and their associated effect on carbon cycling. Here we developed the microbial enzyme-mediated decomposition (MEND) model by incorporating microbial dormancy and the ability to track multiple isotopes of carbon. We tested two versions of MEND, that is, MEND with dormancy (MEND) and MEND without dormancy (MEND_wod), against long-term (270 days) carbon decomposition data from laboratory incubations of four soils with isotopically labeled substrates. MEND_wod adequately fitted multiple observations (total C-CO2 and C-14-CO2 respiration, and dissolved organic carbon), but at the cost of significantly underestimating the total microbial biomass. MEND improved estimates of microbial biomass by 20-71% over MEND_wod. We also quantified uncertainties in parameters and model simulations using the Critical Objective Function Index method, which is based on a global stochastic optimization algorithm, as well as model complexity and observational data availability. Together our model extrapolations of the incubation study show that long-term soil incubations with experimental data for multiple carbon pools are conducive to estimate both decomposition and microbial parameters. These efforts should provide essential support to future field-and global-scale simulations, and enable more confident predictions of feedbacks between environmental change and carbon cycling.

AB The ethanol steam reforming (ESA) reaction was studied over a series of Ni-W-Ce oxide catalysts. The structures of the catalysts were characterized using in situ techniques including X-ray diffraction, pair distribution function, X-ray absorption fine structure, and transmission electron microscopy; while possible surface intermediates for the ESR reaction were investigated by diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy. In these materials, all the W and part of the Ni were incorporated into the CeO2 lattice, with the remaining Ni forming highly dispersed nano-NiO (<2 nm) outside the Ni-W-Ce oxide structure. The nano-NiO was reduced to Ni under ESR conditions. The Ni-W-Ce system exhibited a much larger lattice strain than those seen for Ni-Ce and W-Ce. Synergistic effects between Ni and W inside ceria produced a substantial amount of defects and O vacancies that led to high catalytic activity, selectivity, and stability (i.e., resistance to coke formation) during ethanol steam reforming.

AB Currently, waste heat rejection from electrical power systems accounts for the largest fraction of water withdrawals from the U.S. fresh water table. Siting of nuclear power plants is limited to areas with access to a large natural supply of fresh or sea water. Due to a rise in energy needs and increased concern over environmental impact, dry air cooling systems are poised to play a large role in the future energy economy. In practice, the implementation of dry air-cooled condensing systems at steam plants has proven to be capital-intensive and requires the power cycle to take a significant efficiency penalty. These shortcomings are fundamental to dry-air steam condensation, which must occur at a fixed temperature. Closed-cycle gas turbines are an alternative to the conventional steam Rankine plant that allows for much improved dry heat rejection compatibility. Recent research into advanced nuclear energy systems has identified the supercritical CO2 (s-CO2) Brayton cycle in particular as a viable candidate for many proposed reactor types. The s-CO2 Brayton cycle can maintain superior thermal efficiency over a wide range of ambient temperatures, making these power systems ideally suited for dry air cooling, even in warm climates. For a sodium fast reactor (SFR) operating at 550 degrees C, thermal efficiency is calculated to be 43% with a 50 degrees C compressor inlet temperature. This is achieved by raising CO2 compressor inlet pressure in response to rising ambient temperatures. Preliminary design studies have shown that s-CO2 power cycle hardware will be compact and therefore well-matched to near-term and advanced integral small modular reactor (SMR) designs. These advantages also extend to the cooling plant, where it is estimated that dry cooling towers for an SFR-coupled s-CO2 power cycle will be similar in cost and scale to the evaporative cooling tower for a light-water reactor (LWR). The projected benefits of the s-CO2 power cycle coupled to dry air heat rejection may enable the long-awaited rise of next-generation nuclear energy systems, while redrawing the map for siting of small and large nuclear energy systems.

AB The high capacity Si (4200 mA h g(-1), Li4.4Si) commonly undergoes cracking and delamination due to drastic volume change (similar to 300%) during lithiation/delithiation processes in lithium ion batteries (LIBs). In this work, abundant and sustainable natural polymer gum arabic (GA) and low cost polyacrylic acid (PAA) are used to fabricate Si anodes with resilient, crack-blocking properties. The esterification reaction between GA and PAA establishes a flexible network resulting in reinforced mechanical strength and enhanced coherent strength. Meanwhile, the water vapour resulting from the esterification reaction generates micron-sized pores which relieves the stress and blocks the formation and propagation of cracks. As a result of the crack-blocking effect, the resultant Si anodes present a superior volumetric capacity of 2890 A h L-1. In addition, charge-discharge cycling for more than 1000 cycles is achieved with the Li insertion capacity limited to 1000 mA h g(-1) at a 1 C rate.

AB Heterostructured oxide interfaces created by decorating Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) phases on ABO(3) perovskites have shown not only pronounced cation segregation at the interface and in the RP phase but also enhanced kinetics for oxygen electrocatalysis at elevated temperatures. In this study, combining experimental and theoretical approaches, we report and compare the time-dependent surface exchange kinetics and stability of (La0.5Sr0.5)(2)CoO4 +/-delta (LSC214)-decorated La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3-delta (LSCF113) and La0.8Sr0.2CoO3-delta (LSC113) thin films. While LSC214 decoration on LSC113 greatly reduced the degradation in the surface exchange kinetics as a function of time relative to undecorated LSC113, LSCF113 with LSC214 coverage showed comparable surface exchange kinetics and stability relative to undecorated LSCF113. This difference is attributed to stabilization of the LSC113 surface by LSC214 decoration and greater stability of LSCF113 against decomposition into secondary phases than LSC113. This hypothesis is supported by density functional theory (DFT) computation, revealing greater surface Sr segregation for LSCF113, which is predicted to have an SrO termination, than LSC113, which is predicted to have a less Sr enriched (La0.25Sr0.75)O termination. Furthermore, DFT also showed a lower energy gain to move Sr from LSCF113 into LSC214 relative to the LSC214-LSC113 surface, and predicted the stability of LSCF113, LSC113, and LSC214 with 100% Sr substitution in their top (001) surface. The stability differences of Sr substitution (with La) in LSCF113, LSC113, and LSC214, along with the assessed DFT decomposition free energies of fully Sr substituted LSCF113, LSC113, and LSC214, correlate with the experimental observation of surface stability trends in surface particle formation of LSCF113 and LSC113 without and with LSC214 decoration.

ID QCD CORRECTIONS; HADRON COLLIDERS; WIDTH
AB We describe the implementation of top production and decay processes in the parton-level Monte Carlo program MCFM. By treating the top quark as being on-shell, we can factorize the amplitudes for top-pair production, s-channel single-top production, and t-channel single-top production into the product of an amplitude for production and an amplitude for decay. In this way we can retain all spin correlations. Both the production and the decay amplitudes are calculated consistently at next-to-leading order in alpha(S). The full dependence on the b-quark mass is also kept. Phenomenological results are presented for various kinematic distributions at the LHC and for the top quark forward-backward asymmetry at the Tevatron.

AB In the framework of the linear sigma-model (LSM) with three quark flavors, the chiral phase diagram at finite temperature and density is investigated. For temperatures higher than the critical temperature (T-c), we added to the LSM the gluonic sector from the quasi-particle model (QPM), which assumes that the interacting gluons in the strongly interacting matter, the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), are phenomenologically the same as non-interacting massive quasi-particles. The dependence of the chiral condensates of strange and non-strange quarks on the temperature and chemical potential is analyzed. Then, we calculate the thermodynamics in the new approach (using a combination of the LSM and the QPM). Confronting the results with those from recent lattice quantum chromodynamics simulations reveals an excellent agreement for almost all thermodynamic quantities. The dependences of the first-order and second-order moments of the particle multiplicity on the chemical potential at fixed temperature are studied. These investigations are implemented through characterizing the large fluctuations accompanying the chiral phase transition. The results for the first-order and second-order moments are compared with those from the SU(3) Polyakov linear sigma-model (PLSM). Also, the resulting phase diagrams deduced in the PLSM and the LSM+QPM are compared with each other.

AB The establishment of early life microbiota in the human infant gut is highly variable and plays a crucial role in host nutrient availability/uptake and maturation of immunity. Although high-performance mass spectrometry (MS)-based metaproteomics is a powerful method for the functional characterization of complex microbial communities, the acquisition of comprehensive metaproteomic information in human fecal samples is inhibited by the presence of abundant human proteins. To alleviate this restriction, we have designed a novel metaproteomic strategy based on double filtering (DF) the raw samples, a method that fractionates microbial from human cells to enhance microbial protein identification and characterization in complex fecal samples from healthy premature infants. This method dramatically improved the overall depth of infant gut proteome measurement, with an increase in the number of identified low-abundance proteins and a greater than 2-fold improvement in microbial protein identification and quantification. This enhancement of proteome measurement depth enabled a more extensive microbiome comparison between infants by not only increasing the confidence of identified microbial functional categories but also revealing previously undetected categories.

AB Aberrant degradation of proteins is associated with many pathological states, including cancers. Mass spectrometric analysis of tumor peptidomes, the intracellular and intercellular products of protein degradation, has the potential to provide biological insights on proteolytic processing in cancer. However, attempts to use the information on these smaller protein degradation products from tumors for biomarker discovery and cancer biology studies have been fairly limited to date, largely due to the lack of effective approaches for robust peptidomics identification and quantification and the prevalence of confounding factors and biases associated with sample handling and processing. Herein, we have developed an effective and robust analytical platform for comprehensive analyses of tissue peptidomes, which is suitable for high-throughput quantitative studies. The reproducibility and coverage of the platform, as well as the suitability of clinical ovarian tumor and patient-derived breast tumor xenograft samples with postexcision delay of up to 60 min before freezing for peptidomics analysis, have been demonstrated. Moreover, our data also show that the peptidomics profiles can effectively separate breast cancer subtypes, reflecting tumor-associated protease activities. Peptidomics complements results obtainable from conventional bottom-up proteomics and provides insights not readily obtainable from such approaches.

AB Several wading bird species in the southeastern US have a history of infection by hematozoa/avian malaria as well as mercury accumulation through their diet, and thus may be exposed to two, generally sublethal, yet chronic, stressors. We analyzed nestling wading birds (n=171) of varying size and trophic position from the southeastern US, and a smaller sample (n=23) of older, free-ranging birds, to look for potential interrelationships between infection by hematozoa and mercury (Hg) uptake. Only one nestling was PCR positive for hematozoa (Plasmodium/Haemoproteus) whereas nine (39%) of the older wading birds were positive. Sequencing indicated that both nestling and adult positives were infected with Plasmodium. Given the low infection rate of the nestlings, there was no association between Hg and malaria. The older birds exhibited a possible malaria/Hg association, but it may be confounded by their greater potential exposure period and large-scale movements.

AB Owing to the worldwide abundance and low-cost of Na, room-temperature Na-ion batteries are emerging as attractive energy storage systems for large-scale grids. Increasing the Na content in cathode materials is one of the effective ways to achieve high energy density. Prussian blue and its analogues (PBAs) are promising Na-rich cathode materials since they can theoretically store two Na+ ions per formula unit. However, increasing the Na content in PBAs cathode materials remains a major challenge. Here we show that sodium iron hexacyanoferrate with high Na content can be obtained by simply controlling the reducing agent and reaction atmosphere during synthesis. The Na content can reach as high as 1.63 per formula, which is the highest value for sodium iron hexacyanoferrate. This Na-rich sodium iron hexacyanoferrate demonstrates a high specific capacity of 150 mAh center dot g(-1) and remarkable cycling performance with 90% capacity retention after 200 cycles. Furthermore, the Na intercalation/de-intercalation mechanism has been systematically studied by in situ Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and X-ray absorption spectroscopy analysis for the first time. The Na-rich sodium iron hexacyanoferrate can function as a plenteous Na reservoir and has great potential as a cathode material for practical Na-ion batteries.

As an illustration here, the structural change of a BN/Ru(0001) interface upon exposure to O-2 has been investigated using in situ photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM) and ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (AP-XPS). We demonstrate the occurrence of oxygen intercalation of the BN overlayers in O-2 atmosphere, which decouples the BN overlayer from the substrate. Comparative studies of oxygen intercalation at BN/Ru(0001) and graphene/Ru(0001) surfaces indicate that the oxygen intercalation of BN overlayers happens more easily than graphene. This finding will be of importance for future applications of BN-based devices and materials under ambient conditions.

AB Integration of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) onto high surface area photocathodes is highly desired to minimize the overpotential for the solar-powered hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Semiconductor nanowires (NWs) are beneficial for use in photoelectrochemistry because of their large electrochemically available surface area and inherent ability to decouple light absorption and the transport of minority carriers. Here, silicon (Si) NW arrays were employed as a model photocathode system for MoS2 wrapping, and their solar-driven HER activity was evaluated. The photocathode is made up of a well-defined MoS2/TiO2/Si coaxial NW heterostructure, which yielded photocurrent density up to 15 mA/cm(2) (at 0 V vs. the reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE)) with good stability under the operating conditions employed. This work reveals that earth-abundant electrocatalysts coupled with high surface area NW electrodes can provide performance comparable to noble metal catalysts for photocathodic hydrogen evolution.

AB Twisted graphene is of particular interest due to several intriguing characteristics, such as its the Fermi velocity, van Hove singularities and electronic localization. Theoretical studies recently suggested the possible bandgap opening and tuning. Here, we report a novel approach to producing epitaxial twisted graphene on SiC (0001) and the observation of its intrinsic bandgap behaviour. The direct deposition of C-60 on pre-grown graphene layers results in few-layer twisted graphene confirmed by angular resolved photoemission spectroscopy and Raman analysis. The strong enhanced G band in Raman and sp(3) bonding characteristic in X-ray photoemission spectroscopy suggests the existence of interlayer interaction between adjacent graphene layers. The interlayer spacing between graphene layers measured by transmission electron microscopy is 0.352 +/- 0.012 nm. Thermal activation behaviour and nonlinear current-voltage characteristics conclude that an intrinsic bandgap is opened in twisted graphene. Low sheet resistance (similar to 160 Omega square(-1) at 10 K) and high mobility (similar to 2,000 cm(2)V(-1) s(-1) at 10 K) are observed.

AB Adsorbate-driven morphological changes of pitted-Cu(111) surfaces have been investigated following the adsorption and desorption of CO and H. The morphology of the pitted-Cu(111) surfaces, prepared by Ar+ sputtering, exposed a few atomic layers deep nested hexagonal pits of diameters from 8 to 38 nm with steep step bundles. The roughness of pitted-Cu(111) surfaces can be healed by heating to 450-500 K in vacuum. Adsorption of CO on the pitted-Cu(111) surface leads to two infrared peaks at 2089-2090 and 2101-2105 cm(-1) for CO adsorbed on under-coordinated sites in addition to the peak at 2071 cm(-1) for CO adsorbed on atop sites of the close-packed Cu(111) surface. CO adsorbed on under-coordinated sites is thermally more stable than that of atop Cu(111) sites. Annealing of the CO-covered surface from 100 to 300 K leads to minor changes of the surface morphology. In contrast, annealing of a H covered surface to 300 K creates a smooth Cu(111) surface as deduced from infrared data of adsorbed CO and scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) imaging. The observation of significant adsorbate-driven morphological changes with H is attributed to its stronger modification of the Cu(111) surface by the formation of a sub-surface hydride with a hexagonal structure, which relaxes into the healed Cu(111) surface upon hydrogen desorption. These morphological changes occur similar to 150 K below the temperature required for healing of the pitted-Cu(111) surface by annealing in vacuum. In contrast, the adsorption of CO, which only interacts with the top-most Cu layer and desorbs by 200 K, does not significantly change the morphology of the pitted-Cu(111) surface.

AB Proposed in theory and then their existence confirmed, anion-pi interactions have been recognized as new and important non-covalent binding forces. Despite extensive theoretical studies, numerous crystal structural identifications, and a plethora of solution phase investigations, anion-pi interaction strengths that are free from complications of condensed-phase environments have not been directly measured in the gas phase. Herein we present a joint photoelectron spectroscopic and theoretical study on this subject, in which tetraoxacalix[2]arene[2] triazine 1, an electron-deficient and cavity self-tunable macrocyclic, was used as a charge-neutral molecular host to probe its interactions with a series of anions with distinctly different shapes and charge states (spherical halides Cl-, Br-, I-, linear thiocyanate SCN-, trigonal planar nitrate NO3-, pyramidic iodate IO3-, and tetrahedral sulfate SO42-). The binding energies of the resultant gaseous 1 : 1 complexes (1.Cl-, 1.Br-, 1.I-, 1.SCN-, 1.NO3-, 1.IO3- and 1.SO42-) were directly measured experimentally, exhibiting substantial non-covalent interactions with pronounced anion-specific effects. The binding strengths of Cl-, NO3-, IO3- with 1 are found to be strongest among all singly charged anions, amounting to ca. 30 kcal mol(-1), but only about 40% of that between 1 and SO42-. Quantum chemical calculations reveal that all the anions reside in the center of the cavity of 1 with an anion-pi binding motif in the complexes' optimized structures, where 1 is seen to be able to self-regulate its cavity structure to accommodate anions of different geometries and three-dimensional shapes. Electron density surface and charge distribution analyses further support anion-pi binding formation. The calculated binding energies of the anions and 1 nicely reproduce the experimentally estimated electron binding energy increase. This work illustrates that size-selective photoelectron spectroscopy combined with theoretical calculations represents a powerful technique to probe anion-pi interactions and has potential to provide quantitative guest-host molecular binding strengths and unravel fundamental insights in specific anion recognitions.

AB Sulfur is a very promising cathode material for rechargeable energy storage devices. However, sulfur cathodes undergo a noticeable volume variation upon cycling, which induces mechanical stress. In spite of intensive investigation of the electrochemical behavior of the lithiated sulfur compounds, their mechanical properties are not very well understood. In order to fill this gap, we developed a ReaxFF interatomic potential to describe Li-S interactions and performed molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to study the structural, mechanical, and kinetic behavior of the amorphous lithiated sulfur (a-LixS) compounds. We examined the effect of lithiation on material properties such as ultimate strength, yield strength, and Young's modulus. Our results suggest that with increasing lithium content, the strength of lithiated sulfur compounds improves, although this increment is not linear with lithiation. The diffusion coefficients of both lithium and sulfur were computed for the a-LixS system at various stages of Li-loading. A grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) scheme was used to calculate the open circuit voltage profile during cell discharge. The Li-S binary phase diagram was constructed using genetic algorithm based tools. Overall, these simulation results provide insight into the behavior of sulfur based cathode materials that are needed for developing lithium-sulfur batteries.

AB Gasochromic VO2 thin films were fabricated by the sol-gel spin-coating technique. The results of X-ray absorption spectroscopy and resonant inelastic X-ray scattering spectroscopy reveal that the origin of gasochromic coloration in VO2 is strongly related to the modulation of its structure and the electron-electron correlation. Upon gasochromic coloration, not only does the valence state change with the incorporation of hydrogen, but also the film undergoes the modification of the local atomic structure. The structural distortion varies the strength of hybridization of the O 2p-V 3d states and the bond distance of V-O and V-O varies. In the hydric process, the local atomic structure of VO2 changes from that of an un-symmetric to that of a symmetric V-O framework. The incorporated hydrogen adds electrons into the V 3d t(2g) orbital, enhancing the electron-electron correlation by reducing the V-V distance. This work presents a new physical insight in which the modulation of the electron-electron correlation is exploited to control the bleached and colored states, giving rise to the gasochromic phenomenon. The strong correlation among atomic spatial rearrangement, electronic structures, and transmittance supports a cooperative mechanism of the VO2 gasochromic transition. These results reveal a clear correlation between the dynamics of the lattice structure and the electronic properties and suggest a possible pathway to gasochromism and elucidation of its mechanism.

AB In this study, we have designed a compact sample chamber that can achieve accurate and continuous control of the relative humidity (RH) in the vicinity of 100%. A 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC) multilayer can be used as a humidity sensor by measuring its inter-layer repeat distance (d-spacing) via X-ray diffraction. We convert from DOPC d-spacing to RH according to a theory given in the literature and previously measured data of DOPC multilamellar vesicles in polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) solutions. This curve can be used for calibration of RH close to 100%, a regime where conventional sensors do not have sufficient accuracy. We demonstrate that this control method can provide RH accuracies of 0.1 to 0.01%, which is a factor of 10-100 improvement compared to existing methods of humidity control. Our method provides fine tuning capability of RH continuously for a single sample, whereas the PVP solution method requires new samples to be made for each PVP concentration. The use of this cell also potentially removes the need for an X-ray or neutron beam to pass through bulk water if one wishes to work close to biologically relevant conditions of nearly 100% RH.

AB The performance of organic photovoltaic devices is improving steadily and efficiencies have now exceeded 10%. However, the incident solar spectrum still largely remains poorly absorbed. To reduce optical losses, we employed a microlens array (MLA) layer on the side of the glass substrate facing the incident light; this approach does not interfere with the processing of the active-layer. We observed up to 10% enhancement in the short circuit current of poly({4,8-bis[(2-ethylhexyl)oxy]benzo[1,2-b: 4,5-b']dithiophene-2,6-diyl}{3-fluoro-2-[(2-ethylhexyl)carbonyl] thieno[3,4-b] thiophenediyl}):(6,6)-phenyl C71-butyric acid methyl ester (PTB7: PC71BM) OPV cells. Theoretically and experimentally investigating several MLA dimensions, we found that photocurrent increases with the ratio of the height to the pitch size of MLA. Simulations reveal the enhancement mechanisms: MLA focuses light, and also increases the light path within the active-layer by diffraction. Photocurrent enhancements increase for a polymer system with thinner active-layers, as demonstrated in poly[N-9'-heptadecanyl-2,7-carbazole-alt-5,5-(4',7'-di-2-thienyl-2',1',3'- benzothiadiazole)] (PCDTBT): PC71BM OPVs with 17% improvement in short circuit current.

AB An Electron Beam Ion Source for the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC EBIS) was commissioned at Brookhaven in September 2010 and since then it routinely supplies ions for RHIC and NASA Space Radiation Laboratory (NSRL) as the main source of highly charged ions from Helium to Uranium. Using three external primary ion sources for 1+ injection into the EBIS and an electrostatic injection beam line, ion species at the EBIS exit can be switched in 0.2 s. A total of 16 different ion species have been produced to date. The length and the capacity of the ion trap have been increased by 20% by extending the trap by two more drift tubes, compared with the original design. The fraction of Au32+ in the EBIS Au spectrum is approximately 12% for 70-80% electron beam neutralization and 8 pulses operation in a 5 Hertz train and 4-5 s super cycle. For single pulse per super cycle operation and 25% electron beam neutralization, the EBIS achieves the theoretical Au32+ fractional output of 18%. Long term stability has been very good with availability of the beam from RHIC EBIS during 2012 and 2014 RHIC runs approximately 99.8%.

AB The Californium Rare Isotope Breeder Upgrade (CARIBU) Electron Beam Ion Source (EBIS) charge breeder has been built and tested. The bases of the CARIBU EBIS electrical system are four voltage platforms on which both DC and pulsed high voltage outputs are controlled. The high voltage output pulses are created with either a combination of a function generator and a high voltage amplifier, or two high voltage DC power supplies and a high voltage solid state switch. Proper synchronization of the pulsed voltages, fundamental to optimizing the charge breeding performance, is achieved with triggering from a digital delay pulse generator. The control system is based on National Instruments real-time controllers and LabVIEW software implementing Functional Global Variables (FGV) to store and access instrument parameters. Fiber optic converters enable network communication and triggering across the platforms.

The beam commissioning is being performed using a low emittance surface ionization source producing singly-charged cesium ions. The primary goal of the off-line commissioning is the demonstration of high-efficiency charge breeding in the pulsed injection mode. An overview of the final design of the CARIBU EBIS charge breeder, the off-line commissioning installation and the first results on charge breeding of stable cesium ions are presented and discussed.

AB An electron-beam simulation technique for high-resolution complete EBIS/T modelling is presented. The technique was benchmarked on the high compression HEC2 test-stand with an electron beam current, current density and energy of 10 A, 10 kA/cm(2) and 49.2 keV, and on the immersed electron beam at REXEBIS for electron beam characteristics of 0.4 A, 200 A/cm(2) and 4.5 keV. In both Brillouin-like and immersed beams the electron-beam radius varies from several millimeters at the gun, through some hundreds of micrometers in the ionization region to a few centimeters at the collector over a total length of several meters. We report on our approach for finding optimal meshing parameters, based on the local beam properties such as magnetic field-strength, electron energy and beam radius. This approach combined with dividing the problem domain into sub-domains, and subsequent splicing of the local solutions allowed us to simulate the beam propagation in EBISes from the gun to the collector using a conventional PC in about 24-36 h. Brillouin-like electron beams propagated through the complete EBIS were used to analyze the beam behavior within the collector region. We checked whether elastically reflected paraxial electrons from a Brillouin-like beam will escape from the collector region and add to the loss current. We have also studied the power deposition profiles as function of applied potentials using two electrode geometries for a Brillouin-like beam including the effects of backscattered electrons.

AB An Electron Beam Ion Source Charge Breeder (EBIS-CB) has been developed to breed radioactive beams from the CAlifomium Rare isotope Breeder Upgrade (CARIBU) facility at ATLAS. The EBIS-CB will replace the existing ECR charge breeder to increase the intensity and improve the purity of reaccelerated radioactive ion beams. The EBIS-CB is in the final stage of off-line commissioning. Currently, we are developing a low energy beam transport (LEBT) system to transfer CARIBU beams to the EBIS-CB. As was originally planned, an RFQ cooler-buncher will precede the EBIS-CB. Recently, it was decided to include a multi-reflection time-of-flight (MR-TOE) mass-spectrometer following the RFQ. MR-TOF is a relatively new technology used to purify beams with a mass-resolving power up to 3x 10(5) as was demonstrated in experiments at CERN/ISOLDE. Very high purity singly-charged radioactive ion beams will be injected into the EBIS for charge breeding and due to its inherent properties, the EBIS-CB will maintain the purity of the charge bred beams. Possible contamination of residual gas ions will be greatly suppressed by achieving ultra-high vacuum in the EBIS trap. This paper will present and discuss the design of the LEBT and the overall integration of the EBIS-CB into ATLAS.

ID TEST EBIS; DESIGN
AB A new electron gun with electrostatic compression has been installed at the Electron Beam Ion Source (EBIS) Test Stand at BNL. This is a collaborative effort by BNL and CERN teams with a common goal to study an EBIS with electron beam current up to 10 A, current density up to 10,000 A/cm(2) and energy more than 50 keV. Intensive and pure beams of heavy highly charged ions with mass-to-charge ratio < 4.5 are requested by many heavy ion research facilities including NASA Space Radiation Laboratory (NSRL) at BNL and HIE-ISOLDE at CERN. With a multiampere electron gun, the EBIS should be capable of delivering highly charged ions for both RHIC facility applications at BNL and for ISOLDE experiments at CERN. Details of the electron gun simulations and design, and the Test EBIS electrostatic and magnetostatic structures with the new electron gun are presented. The experimental results of the electron beam transmission are given.

AB Deterministic doping by single ion implantation, the precise placement of individual dopant atoms into devices, is a path for the realization of quantum computer test structures where quantum bits (qubits) are based on electron and nuclear spins of donors or color centers. We present a donor - quantum dot type qubit architecture and discuss the use of medium and highly charged ions extracted from an Electron Beam Ion Trap/Source (EBIT/S) for deterministic doping. EBIT/S are attractive for the formation of qubit test structures due to the relatively low emittance of ion beams from an EBIT/S and due to the potential energy associated with the ions' charge state, which can aid single ion imp act detection. Following ion implantation, dopant specific diffusion mechanisms during device processing affect the placement accuracy and coherence properties of donor spin qubits. For bismuth, range straggling is minimal but its relatively low solubility in silicon limits thermal budgets for the formation of qubit test structures.

ID DESIGN
AB We report on the development of the HEC2 (High Energy Compression and Current) charge breeder, a possible high performance successor to REXEBIS at ISOLDE. The new breeder would match the performance of the HIE-ISOLDE linac upgrade and make full use of the possible installation of a storage ring at ISOLDE (the TSR@ISOLDE initiative [1]). Dictated by ion beam acceptance and capacity requirements, the breeder features a 2-3.5 A electron beam. In many cases very high charge states, including bare ions up to Z=70 and Li/Na-like up to Z=92 could be requested for experiments in the storage ring, therefore, electron beam energies up to 150 keV are required. The electron-beam current density needed for producing ions with such high charge states at an injection rate into TSR of 0.5-1 Hz is between 10 and 20 kA/cm(2), which agrees with the current density needed to produce A/q<4.5 ions for the HIE-ISOLDE linac with a maximum repetition rate of 100 Hz. The first operation of a prototype electron gun with a pulsed electron beam of 1.5 A and 30 keV was demonstrated in a joint experiment with BNL [2]. In addition, we report on further development aiming to achieve CW operation of an electron beam having a geometrical transverse ion-acceptance matching the injection of 1(+) ions (11.5 mu m), and an emittance/energy spread of the extracted ion beam matching the downstream mass separator and RFQ (0.08 mu m normalized /+/- 1%).

AB During space travel astronauts are exposed to a variety of radiations, including galactic cosmic rays composed of high-energy protons and high-energy charged (HZE) nuclei, and solar particle events containing low-to medium-energy protons. Risks from these exposures include carcinogenesis, central nervous system damage and degenerative tissue effects. Currently, career radiation limits are based on estimates of fatal cancer risks calculated using a model that incorporates human epidemiological data from exposed populations, estimates of relative biological effectiveness and dose-response data from relevant mammalian experimental models. A major goal of space radiation risk assessment is to link mechanistic data from biological studies at NASA Space Radiation Laboratory and other particle accelerators with risk models. Early phenotypes of HZE exposure, such as the induction of reactive oxygen species, DNA damage signaling and inflammation, are sensitive to HZE damage complexity. This review summarizes our current understanding of critical areas within the DNA damage and oxidative stress arena and provides insight into their mechanistic interdependence and their usefulness in accurately modeling cancer and other risks in astronauts exposed to space radiation. Our ultimate goals are to examine potential links and crosstalk between early response modules activated by charged particle exposure, to identify critical areas that require further research and to use these data to reduced uncertainties in modeling cancer risk for astronauts. A clearer understanding of the links between early mechanistic aspects of high-LET response and later surrogate cancer end points could reveal key nodes that can be therapeutically targeted to mitigate the health effects from charged particle exposures.

AB Polymer polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-microwave exfoliated graphene oxide (MEGO) composites containing up to 80 wt% PTFE were prepared by low-temperature post-irradiation polymerization of C2F4 in the presence of the graphene-like material. Composites were characterized by FTIR, NMR, XPS, SEM, TGA, XRD, broadband dielectric spectroscopy and DSC techniques. The melting point of PTFE in the composite (332.5 degrees C) was higher than that of pure PTFE by 8.8 degrees C. The measured values of the melting enthalpy (Delta H-m = 51.5 and 45.4 J g(-1)) were used to calculate the extent of crystallinity in the PTFE and PTFE-MEGO composite (0.63 and 0.55, respectively). No CF3 end groups typical of commercial PTFE have been detected in the PTFE-MEGO composites.

AB Here we present a high performance spring-type piezoelectric energy harvester that selectively collects current from the inner part of a spring shell. We analyzed themain reason behind the low efficiency of the initial design using finite element models and proposed a selective current collecting design that can considerably improve the electrical conversion efficiency of the energy harvester. We found that the newly designed energy harvester increases the output voltage by 8 times leading to an output power of 2.21 mW under an impulsive load of 2.18 N when compared with the conventional design. We envision that selective current collecting design will be used in spring-based self-powered active sensors and energy scavenging devices.

AB Terpene synthesis in the majority of bacterial species, together with plant plastids, takes place via the 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate (DXP) pathway. The first step of this pathway involves the condensation of pyruvate and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate by DXP synthase (Dxs), with one-sixth of the carbon lost as CO2. A hypothetical novel route from a pentose phosphate to DXP (nDXP) could enable a more direct pathway from C-5 sugars to terpenes and also circumvent regulatory mechanisms that control Dxs, but there is no enzyme known that can convert a sugar into its 1-deoxy equivalent. Employing a selection for complementation of a dxs deletion in Escherichia coli grown on xylose as the sole carbon source, we uncovered two candidate nDXP genes. Complementation was achieved either via overexpression of the wild-type E. coli yajO gene, annotated as a putative xylose reductase, or via various mutations in the native ribB gene. In vitro analysis performed with purified YajO and mutant RibB proteins revealed that DXP was synthesized in both cases from ribulose 5-phosphate (Ru5P). We demonstrate the utility of these genes for microbial terpene biosynthesis by engineering the DXP pathway in E. coli for production of the sesquiterpene bisabolene, a candidate biodiesel. To further improve flux into the pathway from Ru5P, nDXP enzymes were expressed as fusions to DXP reductase (Dxr), the second enzyme in the DXP pathway. Expression of a Dxr-RibB(G108S) fusion improved bisabolene titers more than 4-fold and alleviated accumulation of intracellular DXP.

AB As part of their support to the ASHRAE Standing Standard Project Committee (SSPC) for Standard 90.1, Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings,(1) Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) staff members regularly perform a progress indicator analysis to quantitatively measure the progress of Standard 90.1 through its three-year standard development cycle.(2) The standard, which provides the minimum energy-efficiency requirements for design and construction, has produced significant energy savings since the first edition of Standard 90 in 1975. With challenging energy reduction goals ahead of us(3) combined with significant savings already achieved, code developers wonder if we have reached a point of diminishing returns in advancing energy codes and standards.

AB Not-targeted effects represent a paradigm shift from the "DNA centric" view that ionizing radiation only elicits biological effects and subsequent health consequences as a result of an energy deposition event in the cell nucleus. While this is likely true at higher radiation doses (>1 Gy), at low doses (<100 mGy) non-targeted effects associated with radiation exposure might play a significant role. Here definitions of non-targeted effects are presented, the potential mechanisms for the communication of signals and signaling networks from irradiated cells/tissues are proposed, and the various effects of this intra- and intercellular signaling are described. We conclude with speculation on how these observations might lead to and impact long-term human health outcomes. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB The atomic structures of calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) and calcium (-sodium) aluminosilicate hydrate (C-(N)-A-S-H) gels, and their presence in conventional and blended cement systems, have been the topic of significant debate over recent decades. Previous investigations have revealed that synthetic C-S-H gel is nanocrystalline and due to the chemical similarities between ordinary Portland cement (OPC)-based systems and low-CO2 alkali-activated slags, researchers have inferred that the atomic ordering in alkali-activated slag is the same as in OPC-slag cements. Here, X-ray total scattering is used to determine the local bonding environment and nanostructure of C(-A)-S-H gels present in hydrated tricalcium silicate (C3S), blended C3S-slag and alkali-activated slag, revealing the large intrinsic differences in the extent of nanoscale ordering between C-S-H derived from C3S and alkali-activated slag systems, which may have a significant influence on thermodynamic stability, and material properties at higher length scales, including long term durability of alkali-activated cements.

AB The effects of different alkaline pretreatments on cellulose structural features and accessibility are compared and correlated with the enzymatic hydrolysis of Populus. The pretreatments are shown to modify polysaccharides and lignin content to enhance the accessibility for cellulase enzymes. The highest increase in the cellulose accessibility was observed in dilute sodium hydroxide, followed by methods using ammonia soaking and lime (Ca(OH)(2)). The biggest increase of cellulose accessibility occurs during the first 10 min of pretreatment, with further increases at a slower rate as severity increases. Low temperature ammonia soaking at longer residence times dissolved a major portion of hemicellulose and exhibited higher cellulose accessibility than high temperature soaking. Moreover, the most significant reduction of degree of polymerization (DP) occurred for dilute sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and ammonia pre-treated Populus samples. The study thus identifies important cellulose structural features and relevant parameters related to biomass recalcitrance.

AB A strategy of mixing both an ionic liquid and sulfone is reported to give synergistic effects of reducing viscosity, increasing ionic conductivity, reducing polysulfide dissolution, and improving safety. The mixtures of ionic liquids and sulfones also show distinctly different physicochemical properties, including thermal properties and crystallization behavior. By using these electrolytes, lithium sulfur batteries assembled with lithium and mesoporous carbon composites show a reversible specific capacity of 1265 mAhg(-1) (second cycle) by using 40% 1.0M lithium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide (LiTFSI) in N-methyl-N-propylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide with 60% 1.0M LiTFSI in methylisopropylsulfone in the first cycle. This capacity is slightly lower than that obtained in pure 1.0m LiTFSI as the sulfone electrolyte; however, it exhibits excellent cycling stability and remains as high as 655 mAhg(-1) even after 50 cycles. This strategy provides a method to alleviate polysulfide dissolution and redox shuttle phenomena, at the same time, with improved ionic conductivity.

AB Although they were discovered almost four decades ago, Cu(I) diimine complexes have emerged as a group of transition metal complexes that can play important roles in solar energy conversion and utilization, and have potential to replace the quintessential ruthenium polypyridyl complexes as light sensitizers, electron donors and catalytic centers. This review includes some recent photophysical studies and transient structural studies of Cu(I) diimine complexes using ultrafast optical transient absorption and emission as well as X-ray transient absorption spectroscopy. The main focus is on identifying the key structural factors that influence the excited-state properties, such as structural reorganization, intersystem crossing and solvent quenching, with these relatively new techniques on the ultrafast time scales. Ultimately, these structural factors can be used to rationally control the energetics and dynamics of the MLCT state during the light conversion processes. This insight will serve as guidance for material design using Cu(I) diimine complexes as building blocks. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB The photophysical behavior of Ru(II) and Os(II) diimine complexes having complex aromatic hydrocarbon diimine ligands has received considerable attention as systems exhibiting intramolecular energy transfer to yield excited states with lifetimes much longer than the parent diimine complexes. Here we present a focused discussion of the photophysical behavior of transition metal complexes with modified terpyridyl ligands. The overview includes, as an example of approaches used to evaluate such systems, spectroscopic studies of a pair of Ru(II) mono- and bis-terpyridyl complexes modified with vinylpyrene (Pyr-v-tpy) to have ligand localized excited states that are equal to or lower than the energy of the known MLCT state of the parent complexes, [Ru(Mpt)(2)](2+) and [Ru(Mpt)(dien)](2+) (Mpt = 4'-tolyl-2,2':6',2"-terpyridine, dien = diethylenetriamine). The common observation is that the presence of Pyr-v-tpy serves to lengthen the excited state lifetime of the complex through interaction of MLCT and ligand localized (IL) states. For [Ru(Pyr-v-tpy)(2)](2+) the excited state lifetime increases by a factor of more than 104 relative to [Ru(Mpt)(2)](2+). For [Ru(Pyr-v-tpy)(dien)](2+), the (IL)-I-3 state is close in energy to the MLCT state of the parent [Ru(Mpt)(dien)](2+) and, while the transient absorption spectrum is significantly perturbed relative to [Ru(Mpt)(dien)](2+), the excited state decay rate changes by only a factor of four. The long-lived excited state is formed in less than a ps, indicating strong coupling of the MLCT and ligand localized manifolds. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB We evaluate the factors influencing the abundance, [Li], and isotopic composition of riverine Li delivered to the oceans through analyses and modeling of [Li] and delta Li-7 in streams and groundwaters draining a single continental lithology, the Columbia River Basalts (CRBs). The streams were sampled in different climate zones that lie east (dry), and west (wet) of the Cascades Mountains, and during two different seasons (summer and late winter) in order to evaluate climatic and seasonal influences on Li isotopes in rivers. Dissolved Li (delta Li-7(dis) = +9.3 to +30.4) is systematically heavier than that of fresh or weathered CRBs (-4.7 to +6.0, Liu et al., 2013), suspended loads (-5.9 to -0.3), and shallow groundwaters (+6.7 to +9.4), consistent with previous studies showing that Li isotope fractionation is affected by equilibration between stream water and secondary minerals. However, the lack of correlation between delta Li-7(dis) and climate zone, the uniform secondary minerals and bedrock, coupled with the highly variable (>20 parts per thousand) delta Li-7(dis) indicate that other factors exert a strong control on delta Li-7(dis). In particular, the heavier Li in streams compared to the shallow groundwaters that feed them indicates that continued isotopic fractionation between stream water and suspended and/or bed loads has a major influence on riverine delta Li-7. Seasonal delta Li-7 variation is observed only for streams west of the Cascades, where the difference in precipitation rate between the dry and wet seasons is greatest. Reactive transport model simulations reveal that riverine delta Li-7 is strongly controlled by subsurface residence times and the Li isotope fractionation occurring within rivers. The latter explains why there is no positive correlation between delta Li-7 and traditional weathering proxies such as Si or normalized Si in rivers, as riverine Li isotope fractionation drives delta Li-7 to higher values during transport, whereas the concentrations of major cations and anions are diluted. The varying residence time for groundwaters feeding the western streams in summer (long residence times, higher delta Li-7, greater weathering) and winter (short residence times, lower delta Li-7, less weathering) explains the observed seasonal variations. A global, negative correlation between delta Li-7 and Li/Na for streams and rivers draining basaltic catchments reflects the overall transport time, hence the amount of silicate weathering. Based on our results, the increase of delta Li-7 in seawater during the Cenozoic is unlikely related to changing climate, but may reflect mountain building giving rise to increased silicate weathering.

TI ELITE cities: A low-carbon eco-city evaluation tool for China
SO ECOLOGICAL INDICATORS

DT Article
DE Low-carbon eco-city; Indicator system; Tool; ELITE cities; China
AB China is pursuing the development of low-carbon eco-cities to limit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases emissions; however, it is unclear what constitutes a low-carbon eco-city and how to evaluate it. The eco and low-carbon indicator tool for evaluating cities (ELITE cities) was developed by researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in 2012 to evaluate cities' performance by comparing them against benchmark performance goals as well as rank them against other cities in China. ELITE cities measures progress on 33 key indicators selected to represent priority issues within eight primary categories. An excel-based tool was then developed to package the key indicators, indicator benchmarks, explanation of indicators, point calculation functions and transparency-oriented data recording instructions. ELITE cities could be a useful and effective tool for local city government in defining the broad outlines of a low-carbon eco-city and assessing the progress of cities' efforts towards this goal. ELITE cities can also be used by higher-level governments to assess city performance and discern best practices. This paper explains the general framework of the ELITE cities tool, the methods by which the indicators and indicator benchmarks were established, and a detailed guide on tool applications.

AB Hydropower development continues to grow worldwide in developed and developing countries. While the ecological and physical responses to dam construction have been well documented, translating this information into planning for hydropower development is extremely difficult. Very few studies have conducted environmental assessments to guide site-specific or widespread hydropower development. Herein, we propose a spatial approach for estimating environmental effects of hydropower development at multiple scales, as opposed to individual site-by-site assessments (e.g., environmental impact assessment). Because the complex, process-driven effects of future hydropower development may be uncertain or, at best, limited by available information, we invested considerable effort in describing novel approaches to represent environmental concerns using spatial data and in developing the spatial footprint of hydropower infrastructure. We then use two case studies in the US, one at the scale of the conterminous US and another within two adjoining rivers basins, to examine how environmental concerns can be identified and related to areas of varying energy capacity. We use combinations of reserve-design planning and multi-metric ranking to visualize tradeoffs among environmental concerns and potential energy capacity. Spatial frameworks, like the one presented, are not meant to replace more in-depth environmental assessments, but to identify information gaps and measure the sustainability of multi-development scenarios as to inform policy decisions at the basin or national level. Most importantly, the approach should foster discussions among environmental scientists and stakeholders regarding solutions to optimize energy development and environmental sustainability.

AB The cumulative impacts of utility-scale solar energy facilities on aquatic ecosystems in the Southwestern United States are of concern, considering the many existing regional anthropogenic stressors. We review the potential impacts of solar energy development on aquatic habitat and biota. The greatest potential for impacts is related to the loss, fragmentation, or prolonged drying of ephemeral water bodies and drainage networks resulting from the loss of desert washes within the construction footprint of the facility. Groundwater-dependent aquatic habitat may also be affected by operational groundwater withdrawal in the case of water-intensive solar technologies. Solar panels have also been found to attract aquatic insects and waterbirds, potentially resulting in mortality. Avoiding construction activity near perennial and intermittent surface waters is the primary means of reducing impacts on aquatic habitats, followed by measures to minimize erosion, sedimentation, and contaminant inputs into waterways. Currently, significant data gaps make solar facility impact assessment and mitigation more difficult. Examples include the need for more regional and site-specific studies of surface-groundwater connectivity, more detailed maps of regional stream networks and riparian vegetation corridors, as well as surveys of the aquatic communities inhabiting ephemeral streams. In addition, because they often lack regulatory protection, there is also a need to develop valuation criteria for ephemeral waters based on their ecological and hydrologic function within the landscape. By addressing these research needs, we can achieve the goal of greater reliance on solar energy, while at the same time minimizing impacts on desert ecosystems.

AB Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a major staple crop in Africa, Asia, and South America, and its starchy roots provide nourishment for 800 million people worldwide. Although native to South America, cassava was brought to Africa 400-500 years ago and is now widely cultivated across sub-Saharan Africa, but it is subject to biotic and abiotic stresses. To assist in the rapid identification of markers for pathogen resistance and crop traits, and to accelerate breeding programs, we generated a framework map for M. esculenta Crantz from reduced representation sequencing [genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS)]. The composite 2412-cM map integrates 10 biparental maps (comprising 3480 meioses) and organizes 22,403 genetic markers on 18 chromosomes, in agreement with the observed karyotype. We used the map to anchor 71.9% of the draft genome assembly and 90.7% of the predicted protein-coding genes. The chromosome-anchored genome sequence will be useful for breeding improvement by assisting in the rapid identification of markers linked to important traits, and in providing a framework for genomic selection-enhanced breeding of this important crop.

ID OPERATION
AB Examination continues in detail for the use of controlled fusion for high-energy, crewed-missions to the outer planets at significant continual acceleration (>0.01g(0)). Transit times to Jupiter measured in a few months, delivering 200 t of payload, appear possible, but require the use of advanced fuels, e.g., D-He-3, to reduce the excessive burden of radiator mass needed to process the heat of fusion neutrons. Such advanced reactions, however, need plasma temperatures in excess of 100 keV, so adiabatic compression is invoked to match the desired final state to much more modest initial temperature values. This compression would be achieved by stabilized implosion of liquid metal liners, as demonstrated decades ago in the Linus program at the Naval Research Laboratory. Distinctions are drawn between the present propulsion design options and the earlier Linus fusion power reactor based on D-T fuel.

ID HELICON; FREQUENCY; THRUSTER; PERFORMANCE
AB The existence of a theoretically predicted critical magnetic field strength for efficient plasma confinement in helicon plasma thrusters is verified experimentally in the source of a magnetic nozzle (MN) flow. Control of the plasma confinement is crucial for enhancing the mass utilization efficiency of electric propulsion systems that employ MNs. Langmuir probe measurements of the density at the MN throat of a helicon plasma thruster as a function of the applied magnetic field strength indicate a transition from a low-confinement operation mode, in which a majority of the plasma diffuses to the solid walls of the plasma source before emerging from the thruster, to a high-confinement operation mode, in which the plasma preferentially exhausts downstream through the MN. This transition is shown to be governed by the anisotropic Peclet number, Pe(an), which is defined as the ratio of the advective (field aligned) to diffusive (cross field) mass transport rates. Experimental estimations of the mass utilization efficiency of the plasma source for various magnetic field strengths and plasma source lengths are shown to support an analytically derived scaling law, and suggest Pe(an) >> 1 as a design criterion for MN plasma sources.

ID PLASMA-FLOW SWITCH
AB The approach called precision high energy-density liner implosion experiment (PHELIX) provides a technique to allow research on high energy-density phenomena associated with liner implosions in a scaled-down system suitable for use with proton radiography. It has been noted that the ratio of load current to bank energy is almost an order of magnitude higher using the PHELIX transformer technique than achievable with direct drive from high-energy capacitor banks. This increase in current per stored-joule offers the opportunity for using similar transformer arrangements for other applications apart from imploding liners. These potential applications include rail-guns and the dense plasma focus. Results from the dimensionless analyses previously used successfully to design PHELIX will be described for these new applications and design limitations will be discussed.

AB Megagauss fields obtained by liner implosion may offer controlled fusion at much lower cost, size, and entry power levels than conventional fusion schemes. Such implosions are subject to elastic-plastic instability (for solid-density liners) and Rayleigh-Taylor instability in fluid liners (liquid or plasma). This paper provides budgets on allowable perturbations for the inner surface of the liner to offer a simple guide for researchers.

ID SWITCH
AB In 1991, Turchi et al. reported evidence for a 2000 km/s aluminum plasma that originated from the upstream boundary of a wire array armature in a plasma flow switch (PFS). The 2008 article by Turchi et al. posits that if such high Z plasma could instead be composed of deuterium or a deuterium-tritium mixture, then the resultant multi-keV plasma would make an effective target for magnetized plasma compression to fusion conditions. This report documents several experiments executed in an effort to achieve an ultrahigh-speed flow in a deuterium plasma. The first phase of this research concentrated on extension of the earlier work to a lower current system that would emulate the PFS used in series with an imploding liner load. The apparatus was also modified to permit pulsed injection of deuterium gas along the insulated coaxial electrodes between the PFS armature and the vacuum power feed. The experiments met with limited success, exhibiting evidence of a 550 km/s plasma flow which convected a small fraction of the total magnetic field. Two subsequent tests were conducted using foam armatures. In both cases, current prematurely shunted upstream in the vacuum feed. Several possible causes were explored for the shunting of the current. Among the modifications implemented, the gas injection system was altered to increase both the quantity of gas adjacent to the armature while facilitating an increased pressure gradient between the armature and the current feed. A series of low-energy shots were conducted to examine the impact of several proposed design modifications on current delivery to the armature. These experiments demonstrated that the hardware assembled for this investigation was unlikely to forestall breakdown in the injected gas as required by Turchi et al. Nevertheless, two experiments were conducted to evaluate performance with foam armatures. Both experiments exhibited good current delivery to the armature, behaving initially like the low-energy experiments. The magnetic flux convected downstream was greater than in any of the prior experiments, though significant work remains to demonstrate the ultrahigh-speed plasma flow concept.

The relation between in situ foaming parameters on the final microstructure and electrochemical properties was characterized by microscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), respectively. The optimal porous cathode architecture was formed with a 70 vol% solids loading within a polymer precursor composition with a volume ratio of 8:4:1 (isocyanate: PEG: surfactant) in a terpineol-based ink vehicle. The resultant microstructure displayed a broad pore size distribution with highly elongated pore structure.

AB Bacillus anthracis, the causative agent of anthrax, replicates as chains of vegetative cells by regulating the separation of septal peptidoglycan. Surface (S)-layer proteins and associated proteins (BSLs) function as chain length determinants and bind to the secondary cell wall polysaccharide (SCWP). In this study, we identified the B. anthracis lcpD mutant, which displays increased chain length and S-layer assembly defects due to diminished SCWP attachment to peptidoglycan. In contrast, the B. anthracis lcpB3 variant displayed reduced cell size and chain length, which could be attributed to increased deposition of BSLs. In other bacteria, LytR-CpsA-Psr (LCP) proteins attach wall teichoic acid (WTA) and polysaccharide capsule to peptidoglycan. B. anthracis does not synthesize these polymers, yet its genome encodes six LCP homologues, which, when expressed in S. aureus, promote WTA attachment. We propose a model whereby B. anthracis LCPs promote attachment of SCWP precursors to discrete locations in the peptidoglycan, enabling BSL assembly and regulated separation of septal peptidoglycan.

AB During the last few decades, considerable research efforts have been extended to identify more effective remediation treatment technologies to lower the I-129 concentrations to below federal drinking water standards at the Hanford Site (Richland, USA). Few studies have taken iodate into consideration, though recently iodate, instead of iodide, was identified as the major species in the groundwater of 200-West Area within the Hanford Site. The objective of this study was thus to quantify and understand aqueous radioiodine species transformations and uptake by three sediments collected from the semi-arid, carbonate-rich environment of the Hanford subsurface. All three sediments reduced iodate (IO3-) to iodide (I-), but the loamy-sand sediment reduced more IO3- (100% reduced within 7 days) than the two sand-textured sediments (20% reduced after 28 days). No dissolved organo-iodine species were observed in any of these studies. Iodate uptake K-d values ([I-solid]/[I-aq]; 0.8-7.6 L/kg) were consistently and appreciably greater than iodide K-d values (0-5.6 L/kg). Furthermore, desorption K-d values (11.9-29.8 L/kg) for both iodate and iodide were consistently and appreciably greater than uptake K-d values (0-7.6 L/kg). Major fractions of iodine associated with the sediments were unexpectedly strongly bound, such that only 0.4-6.6 % of the total sedimentary iodine could be exchanged from the surface with KCl solution, and 0-1.2% was associated with Fe or Mn oxides (weak NH2HCl/HNO3 extractable fraction). Iodine incorporated into calcite accounted for 2.9-39.4% of the total sedimentary iodine, whereas organic carbon (OC) is likely responsible for the residual iodine (57.1-90.6%) in sediments. The OC, even at low concentrations, appeared to be controlling iodine binding to the sediments, as it was found that the greater the OC concentrations in the sediments, the greater the values of uptake K-d, desorption K-d, and the greater residual iodine concentrations (non-exchangeable, non-calcite-incorporated and non-Mn, Fe-oxide associated). This finding is of particular interest because it suggests that even very low OC concentrations, <0.2%, may have an impact on iodine geochemistry. The findings that these sediments can readily reduce IO3,- and that IO3- sorbs to a greater extent than I-, sheds light into earlier unexplained Hanford field data that demonstrated increases in groundwater I-127(-)/(IO3-)-I-127 ratios and a decrease groundwater (IO3-)-I-129 concentrations along a transect away from the point sources, where iodine was primarily introduced as IO3-. While a majority of the radioiodine does not bind to these alkaline sediments, there is likely a second smaller iodine fraction in the Hanford subsurface that is strongly bound, presumably to the sediment OC (and carbonate) phases. This second fraction may have an impact on establishing remediation goals and performance assessment calculations. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB Batch and column experiments were conducted to investigate sorption and transport of uranium (U) in the presence of saprolite derived from interbedded shale, limestone, and sandstone sequences. Sorption kinetics were measured at two initial concentrations (C-0; 1, 10 mu M) and three soil:solution ratios (R-s/w; 0.005, 0.25, 2 kg/L) at pH 4.5 (pH of the saprolite). The rate of U loss from solution (mu mole/L/h) increased with increasing R-s/w. Uranium sorption exhibited a fast phase with 80% sorption in the first eight hours for all C-0 and R-s/w values and a slow phase during which the reaction slowly approached (pseudo) equilibrium over the next seven days. The pH-dependency of U sorption was apparent in pH sorption edges. U(VI) sorption increased over the pH range 4-6, then decreased sharply at pH > 7.5. U(VI) sorption edges were well described by a surface complexation model using calibrated parameters and the reaction network proposed by Waite et al. (1994). Sorption isotherms measured using the same R-s/w and pH values showed a solids concentration effect where U(VI) sorption capacity and affinity decreased with increasing solids concentration. This effect may have been due to either particle aggregation or competition between U(VI) and exchangeable cations for sorption sites. The surface complexation model with calibrated parameters was able to predict the general sorption behavior relatively well, but failed to reproduce solid concentration effects, implying the importance of appropriate design if batch experiments are to be utilized for dynamic systems. Transport of U(VI) through the packed column was significantly retarded. Transport simulations were conducted using the reactive transport model HydroGeoChem (HGC) v5.0 that incorporated the surface complexation reaction network used to model the batch data. Model parameters reported by Waite et al. (1994) provided a better prediction of U transport than optimized parameters derived from our sorption edges. The results presented in this study highlight the challenges in defining appropriate conditions for batch-type experiments used to extrapolate parameters for transport models, and also underline a gap in our ability to transfer batch results to transport simulations.

AB Otolith chemistry is often useful for tracking provenance of fishes, as well as examining migration histories. Whereas elements such as strontium and barium correlate well with salinity and temperature, experiments that examine manganese uptake as a function of these parameters have found no such correlation. Instead, dissolved manganese is available as a redox product, and as such, is indicative of low-oxygen conditions. Here we present evidence for that mechanism in a range of habitats from marine to freshwater, across species, and also present ancillary proxies that support the mechanism as well. For example, iodine is redox-sensitive and varies inversely with Mn; and sulfur stable isotope ratios provide evidence of anoxic sulfate reduction in some circumstances. Further, S may be incorporated trophically whereas other elements appear to be taken up directly from water. This research suggests a potential means to identify individual fish exposure to hypoxia, over entire lifetimes. With further testing and understanding, in the future fish may be able to be used as "mobile monitors" of hypoxic conditions. (C) 2014 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.

AB Stratocumulus-topped boundary layers (STBLs) observed in three different regions are described in the context of their thermodynamic and radiative properties. The primary dataset consists of 131 soundings from the southeastern Pacific (SEP), 90 soundings from the island of Graciosa (GRW) in the North Atlantic, and 83 soundings from the U.S. Southern Great Plains (SGP). A new technique that makes an attempt to preserve the depths of the sublayers within an STBL is proposed for averaging the profiles of thermodynamic and radiative variables. A one-dimensional radiative transfer model known as the Rapid Radiative Transfer Model was used to compute the radiative fluxes within the STBL. The SEP STBLs were characterized by a stronger and deeper inversion, together with thicker clouds, lower free-tropospheric moisture, and higher radiative flux divergence across the cloud layer, as compared to the GRW STBLs. Compared to the STBLs over the marine locations, the STBLs over SGP had higher wind shear and a negligible (-0.41 g kg(-1)) jump in mixing ratio across the inversion. Despite the differences in many of the STBL thermodynamic parameters, the differences in liquid water path at the three locations were statistically insignificant. The soundings were further classified as well mixed or decoupled based on the difference between the surface and cloud-base virtual potential temperature. The decoupled STBLs were deeper than the well-mixed STBLs at all three locations. Statistically insignificant differences in surface latent heat flux (LHF) between well-mixed and decoupled STBLs suggest that parameters other than LHF are responsible for producing decoupling.

AB This paper describes an approach to retrieve the three-dimensional atomic structure of a nanocrystalline particle from the reconstructed electron exit wave function in a single projection direction. The method employs wave propagation to determine the local exit surface of each atomic column together with its mass. The exit wave in between colums is used as internal calibration so as to remove the background noise and improve the precision to the level of single atom sensitivity. The validity of the approach is tested with exit wave functions of a gold wedge reconstructed from simulated images containing different levels of noise. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB Atomic surface structures of nanoparticles are of interest in catalysis and other fields. Aberration-corrected HREM facilitates direct imaging of the surfaces of nanoparticles. A remaining concern of surface imaging arises from beam damage. It is important to identify the intrinsic surface structures and the ones created by electron beam irradiation in TEM. In this study, we performed aberration-corrected HREM and EELS to demonstrate that TiO and bcc type Ti islands form due to intense electron irradiation. The formation of Ti-rich islands is in agreement with previous high temperature annealing experiments on the surfaces of SrTiO3 single crystals. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB Recent advancements in aberration-corrected electron microscopy allow for an evaluation of unexpectedly large atom displacements beyond a resolution limit of similar to 0.5 angstrom, which are found to be dose-rate dependent in high resolution images. In this paper we outline a consistent description of the electron scattering process, which explains these unexpected phenomena. Our approach links thermal diffuse scattering to electron beam-induced object excitation and relaxation processes, which strongly contribute to the image formation process. The effect can provide an explanation for the well-known contrast mismatch ("Stobbs factor") between image calculations and experiments. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

ID TRANSMISSION ELECTRON-MICROSCOPY; PARTICLES
AB The recent development of atomic resolution, low dose-rate electron microscopy allows investigating 2D materials as well as catalytic nano particles without compromising their structural integrity. For graphene and a variety of nanoparticle compositions, it is shown that a critical dose rate exists of <100 e(-)/angstrom(2) s at 80 keV of electron acceleration that allows maintaining the genuine object structures including their surfaces and edges even if particles are only 3 nm large or smaller. Moreover, it is demonstrated that electron beam-induced phonon excitation from outside the field of view contributes to a contrast degradation in recorded images. These degradation effects can be eliminated by delivering electrons onto the imaged area, only, by using a Nilsonian illumination scheme in combination with a suitable aperture at the electron gun/monochromator assembly.

AB Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has become an indispensable technique for studying heterogeneous catalysts. In particular, advancements of aberration-Corrected electron optics and data acquisition schemes have made TEM capable of delivering images of catalysts with sub-Angstrom resolution and single-atom sensitivity. Parallel developments of differentially pumped electron microscopes and of gas cells enable in situ observations of catalysts during the exposure to reactive gas environments at pressures of up to atmospheric levels and temperatures of up to several hundred centigrade. Here, we outline how to take advantage of the emerging state-of-the-art instrumentation and methodologies to study surface structures and dynamics to improve the understanding of structure-sensitive catalytic functionality. The concept of using low electron dose-rates in TEM in conjunction with in-line holography and aberration-correction at low voltage (80 kV) is introduced to allow maintaining atomic resolution and sensitivity during in situ observations of catalysts. Benefits are illustrated by exit wave reconstructions of TEM images of a nanocrystalline Co3O4 catalyst material acquired in situ during their exposure to either a reducing or oxidizing gas environment.

AB This contribution touches on essential requirements for instrument stability and resolution that allows operating advanced electron microscopes at the edge to technological capabilities. They enable the detection of single atoms and their dynamic behavior on a length scale of picometers in real time. It is understood that the observed atom dynamic is intimately linked to the relaxation and thermalization of electron beam-induced sample excitation. Resulting contrast fluctuations are beam current dependent and largely contribute to a contrast mismatch between experiments and theory if not considered. If explored, they open the possibility to study functional behavior of nanocrystals and single molecules at the atomic level in real time. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB The Gac/Csr regulatory system is conserved throughout the -proteobacteria and controls key pathways in central carbon metabolism, quorum sensing, biofilm formation and virulence in important plant and animal pathogens. Here we show that elevated intracellular citrate levels in a Vibrio fischeri aconitase mutant correlate with activation of the Gac/Csr cascade and induction of bright luminescence. Spontaneous or directed mutations in the gene that encodes citrate synthase reversed the bright luminescence of aconitase mutants, eliminated their citrate accumulation and reversed their elevated expression of CsrB. Our data elucidate a correlative link between central metabolic and regulatory pathways, and they suggest that the Gac system senses a blockage at the aconitase step of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, either through elevated citrate levels or a secondary metabolic effect of citrate accumulation, and responds by modulating carbon flow and various functions associated with host colonization, including bioluminescence.

AB This paper demonstrates a substantial enhancement in radiation tolerance and corrosion resistance for the CrN/AlTiN multilayered nanofilms with the decreasing of period-thickness. After irradiation by 190 keV Ar+ ions to the dose of 81 dpa, the amorphization region in the CrN/AlTiN 3 nm multilayered nanofilm is much smaller than that in the CrN/AlTiN 7 nm multilayered nanofilm and the CrN film based on glancing-incidence X-ray diffraction measurements. Potentiodynamic polarization and impedance measurements show that the CrN/AlTiN multilayered nanofilms have good corrosion resistance to irradiation. With increasing the irradiation fluence, the irradiated samples are more susceptible to corrosive electrolyte. However, the CrN/AlTiN multilayered nanofilm with smaller period-thickness shows significant enhancement of the corrosion resistance under both irradiation and un-irradiation conditions. Under the same irradiation fluence of 5 x 10(16) ions/cm(2), the corrosion current density increased 9.47 times for the CrN film, while it only increased 2.08 times for the CrN/AlTiN 3 nm multilayered nanofilm. The interfaces of multilayered nanofilms act as effective sinks for irradiation-induced defects and are responsible for the enhanced radiation tolerance and corrosion resistance properties.

AB Polycrystalline pyrochlore Lu2Ti2O7 was irradiated with 200 key He+ ions at room temperature to fluences ranging from 2.0 x 10(15) to 2.0 x 10(17) He+/cm(2). Irradiation-induced microstructural evolution was examined by grazing incidence X-ray diffraction and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy. A micro-swelling (lattice expansion) induced by cation ion disordering was observed, which an obvious swelling was achieved at a fluence of 2.0 x 10(16) He+/cm(2), and saturated at a fluence of 1.0 x 10(17) He+/cm(2) with cation ions fully disordered. Furthermore, during the irradiation process, the pristine pyrochlore phase was found to form by a fluence of 5.0 x 10(16) He+/cm(2), corresponding to an average ballistic damage dose of 0.25 displacements per atom (dpa) for the near surface examined region. No amorphization was observed even to the highest fluence of 2.0 x 10(17) He+/cm(2).

AB Quantum dot-sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs) have emerged as a promising solar architecture for next-generation solar cells. The QDSSCs exhibit a remarkably fast electron transfer from the quantum dot (QD) donor to the TiO2 acceptor with size quantization properties of QDs that allows for the modulation of band energies to control photoresponse and photoconversion efficiency of solar cells. To understand the mechanisms that underpin this rapid charge transfer, the electronic properties of CdSe and PbSe QDs with different sizes on the TiO2 substrate are simulated using a rigorous ab initio density functional method. This method capitalizes on localized orbital basis set, which is computationally less intensive. Quite intriguingly, a remarkable set of electron bridging states between QDs and TiO2 occurring via the strong bonding between the conduction bands of QDs and TiO2 is revealed. Such bridging states account for the fast adiabatic charge transfer from the QD donor to the TiO2 acceptor, and may be a general feature for strongly coupled donor/acceptor systems. All the QDs/TiO2 systems exhibit type II band alignments, with conduction band offsets that increase with the decrease in QD size. This facilitates the charge transfer from QDs donors to TiO2 acceptors and explains the dependence of the increased charge transfer rate with the decreased QD size.

AB Despite rapid doubling time, simple architecture and ease of metabolic labelling, a lack of genetic tools in the Lemnaceae (duckweed) has impeded the full implementation of this organism as a model for biological research. Here, we present technologies to facilitate high-throughput genetic studies in duckweed. We developed a fast and efficient method for producing Lemna minor stable transgenic fronds via Agrobacterium-mediated transformation and regeneration from tissue culture. Additionally, we engineered an artificial microRNA (amiRNA) gene silencing system. We identified a Lemna gibba endogenous miR166 precursor and used it as a backbone to produce amiRNAs. As a proof of concept we induced the silencing of CH42, a magnesium chelatase subunit, using our amiRNA platform. Expression of CH42 in transgenic L.minor fronds was significantly reduced, which resulted in reduction of chlorophyll pigmentation. The techniques presented here will enable tackling future challenges in the biology and biotechnology of Lemnaceae.

AB Tertiary amine switchable polarity solvents (SPS) consisting of predominantly water, tertiary amine, and tertiary ammonium and bicarbonate ions were produced at various concentrations for three different amines: N, N-dimethylcyclohexylamine, N, N-dimethyloctylamine, and 1-cyclohexylpiperidine. These amines exhibit either osmotic or non-osmotic character as observed through forward osmosis, which led to this study to better understand speciation and its influence on water transport through a semipermeable membrane. For all concentrations, several physical properties were measured including viscosity, molecular diffusion coefficients, freezing point depression, and density. Based on these measurements, a variation on the Mark-Houwink equation was developed to predict the viscosity of any tertiary amine SPS as a function of concentration using the amine's molecular mass. The physical properties of osmotic SPS, which are identified as having an amine to carbonic acid salt ratio of similar to 1 : 1, have consistent concentration dependence behavior over a wide range of concentrations, which suggests osmotic pressures based on low concentrations freezing point studies can be extrapolated reliably to higher concentrations. The observed physical properties also allowed the identification of solution state speciation of non-osmotic SPS, where the amine to carbonic acid salts ratio is significantly greater than one. These results indicate that, at most concentrations, the stoichiometric excess of amine is involved in solvating a proton with two amines.

DE Televisions; Efficiency; Experience curves
ID EXPERIENCE CURVES; RATES
AB We study the evolution of the incremental cost and price of efficiency for televisions in the U.S. market. We focus on televisions due to their rapid technological evolution and large number of annual shipments, such that costs and prices evolve on short timescales as compared to other consumer durable goods. Using the experience curve approach, we compare manufacturing costs and selling prices of two liquid crystal display (LCD) technologies. We find a mean experience rate of 27% for less efficient cold cathode fluorescent lamp LCD televisions and 14% for more efficient light emitting diode LCD televisions, using price data. This corresponds to an annual decline of approximately 17% per year in price for both television types. Our results also suggest that the incremental cost or price of efficiency, holding other major features constant, declines much more rapidly than the baseline cost or price. We find that the incremental cost or price declines at roughly 50% per year. The fitted parameters do depend on the specific technology modeled, as well as on whether cost or price data are used. Our results for LCD televisions are qualitatively similar to other display technologies, even very mature ones, suggesting that the cost and price decline extends many years after a technology is considered mature. We also analyze the selling prices of ENERGY STAR and non-ENERGY STAR televisions, which support our main findings. These results highlight the consumer benefits of efficient display technologies, and how the dynamics of incremental costs differ from baseline costs. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Some have expected a trivial and predictable correlation between mRNA and protein; however, the manifest complexity of biological regulation suggests a more nuanced relationship. Indeed, observing this lack of strict correlation provides clues for new research topics, and has the potential for transformative biological insight.

AB Many bacteria and archaea possess an adaptive immune system consisting of repetitive genetic elements known as clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPRs) and CRISPR-associated (Cas) proteins. Similar to RNAi pathways in eukaryotes, CRISPR Cas systems require small RNAs for sequence-specific detection and degradation of complementary nucleic acids. Cas5 and Cas6 enzymes have evolved to specifically recognize and process CRISPR-derived transcripts into functional small RNAs used as guides by interference complexes. Our detailed understanding of these proteins has led to the development of several useful Cas6-based biotechnological methods. Here, we review the structures, functions, mechanisms, and applications of the enzymes responsible for CRISPR RNA (crRNA) processing, highlighting a fascinating family of endonucleases with exquisite RNA recognition and cleavage activities.

AB Bacterial microcompartments (BMCs) are protein-bound organelles predicted to be present across 23 bacterial phyla. BMCs facilitate carbon fixation as well as the aerobic and anaerobic catabolism of a variety of organic compounds. These functions have been linked to ecological nutrient cycling, symbiosis, pathogenesis, and cardiovascular disease. Within bacterial cells, BMCs are metabolic modules that can be further dissociated into their constituent structural and functional protein domains. Viewing BMCs as genetic, structural, functional, and evolutionary modules provides a framework for understanding both BMC-mediated metabolism and for adapting their architectures for applications in synthetic biology.

AB CeO2 nanoparticles were synthesized via a one-step ultrasound synthesis in different kinds of ionic liquids based on bis(trifluoromethanesulfonylamide, [Tf2N](-),in combination with various cations including 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium ([C(4)mim](+)), 1-ethyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium ([Edimim](+)), butyl-pyridinium([Py-4](+)), 1-butyl-1-methyl-pyrrolidinium ([Pyrr(14)](+)), and 2-hydroxyethyl-trimethylammonium ([N1112OH](+)). Depending on synthetic parameters, such as ionic liquid, Ce(IV) precursor, heating method, and precipitator, formed ceria exhibits different morphologies, varying from nanospheres, nanorods, nanoribbons, and nanoflowers. The morphology, crystallinity, and chemical composition of the obtained materials were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy XPS), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Raman spectroscopy, and N-2 adsorption. The structural and electronic properties of the as-prepared CeO2 samples were probed by CO adsorption using IR spectroscopy under ultrahigh vacuum conditions. The catalytic activities of CeO2 nanoparticles were investigated in the oxidation of CO. CeO2 nanospheres obtained sonochemically in [C(4)mim] [Tf2N] exhibit the best performance for low-temperature CO oxidation. The superior catalytic performance of this material can be related to its mesoporous structure, small particle size, large surface area, and high number of surface oxygen vacancy sites.

AB Large strain deformation is used to make fine nanolayered two-phase composites from stacks of conventional polycrystalline sheets. The final materials made by this technique possess a crystallographically highly oriented structure containing nearly atomically perfect interfaces prevailing ubiquitously throughout the material. How this ordered structure evolves with strain from the coarser, more disordered state is not known. Here, using microstructural analysis and computational modeling, we discover a local interface-affected zone (IAZ) possessing the same crystallographically sharp structure in coarse layered composites as the final nanolayered composites. This means that this strongly oriented interface zone survives the mechanical work and overtakes the structure as it refines to the nanoscale. In essence, through the formation of this interface zone, the crossover to a highly oriented nanostructure occurs. Using microstructural analysis and crystal plasticity simulations, we show that the IAZ is a consequence of slip accommodation at the interface. This insight is valuable for developing processing strategies for superior interface-dominated materials.

TI CUDA and MPI performances on the computation of Rossi-alpha distribution

SO ANNALS OF NUCLEAR ENERGY

DT Article
DE Rossi-alpha; Subcritical; CUDA; MPI; MCNP
AB This study presents the methodology to calculate the Rossi-alpha distribution for a subcritical assembly driven by an external pulsed neutron source through MCNP6 computer simulations. The Rossi-alpha distribution is obtained from the signal (e.g., He-3(n,p) reactions) of a neutron detector placed in one experimental channel of the subcritical assembly. The detector signal is obtained from MCNP6 computer simulations modeling a single pulse of the external neutron source. The MCNP6 output data for a single pulse of the external neutron source must be processed to take into account the effect of delayed neutrons born in all previous source pulses. The calculation of the Rossi-a distribution from a pulsed neutron source is time consuming because of the huge amount of processed data. Consequently, the algorithms introduced in this work use parallel computing platforms, e.g., CUDA or MPI, to reduce the computing time. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

AB We present a new adjoint FEM weak form, which can be directly used for evaluating the mathematical adjoint, suitable for perturbation calculations, of the self-adjoint angular flux S-N equations (SAAF-S-N) without construction and transposition of the underlying coefficient matrix. Stabilization schemes incorporated in the described SAAF-S-N method make the mathematical adjoint distinct from the physical adjoint, i.e. the solution of the continuous adjoint equation with SAAF-S-N.
This weak form is implemented into RattleSnake, the MOOSE (Multiphysics Object-Oriented Simulation Environment) based transport solver.
Numerical results verify the correctness of the implementation and show its utility both for fixed source and eigenvalue problems. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

DE Alternate cladding; Accident tolerant fuel; FeCrAl; 310SS; SiC; PWR
ID FUEL; OXIDATION; IRRADIATION; COMPOSITE; SCALE; STEAM
AB A study analyzed the neutronics of alternate cladding materials in a pressurized water reactor (PWR) environment. Austenitic type 310 (310SS) and 304 stainless steels, ferritic Fe-20Cr-5Al (FeCrAl) and APMT (TM) alloys, and silicon carbide (SiC)-based materials were considered and compared with Zircaloy-4. SCALE 6.1 was used to analyze the associated neutronics penalty/advantage, changes in reactivity coefficients, and spectral variations once a transition in the cladding was made. In the cases examined, materials containing higher absorbing isotopes invoked a reduction in reactivity due to an increase in neutron absorption in the cladding. Higher absorbing materials produced a harder neutron spectrum in the fuel pellet, leading to a slight increase in plutonium production. A parametric study determined the geometric conditions required to match cycle length requirements for each alternate cladding material in a PWR. A method for estimating the end of cycle reactivity was implemented to compare each model to that of standard Zircaloy-4 cladding. By using a thinner cladding of 350 mu m and keeping a constant outer diameter, austenitic stainless steels require an increase of no more than 0.5 wt% enriched U-235 to match fuel cycle requirements, while the required increase for FeCrAl was about 0.1%. When modeling SiC (with slightly lower thermal absorption properties than that of Zircaloy), a standard cladding thickness could be implemented with marginally less enriched uranium (similar to 0.1%). Moderator temperature and void coefficients were calculated throughout the depletion cycle. Nearly identical reactivity responses were found when coolant temperature and void properties were perturbed for each cladding material. By splitting the pellet into 10 equal areal sections, relative fission power as a function of radius was found to be similar for each cladding material. FeCrAl and 310SS cladding have a slightly higher fission power near the pellet's periphery due to the harder neutron spectrum in the system, causing more Pu-239 breeding. An economic assessment calculated the change in fuel pellet production costs for use of each cladding. Implementing FeCrAl alloys would increase fuel pellet production costs about 15% because of increased U-235 enrichment and the additional UO2 pellet volume enabled by using thinner cladding.

ID REGRESSION
AB The purpose of this work is to describe, by means of Chebyshev polynomials, a parameterized representation of the homogenized macroscopic cross section for PWR fuel element as a function of soluble boron concentration, moderator temperature, fuel temperature, moderator density and U-235(92) enrichment. The cross-section data analyzed are fission, scattering, total, transport, absorption and capture. The parameterization enables a quick and easy determination of problem-dependent cross-sections to be used in few group calculations. The methodology presented in this paper will allow generation of group cross-section data from stored polynomials to perform PWR core calculations without the need to generate them based on computer code calculations using standard steps. The results obtained by the proposed methodology when compared with results from the SCALE code calculations show very good agreement. (C) 2014 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

AB Human-associated bacteria dominate the built environment (BE). Following decontamination of floors, toilet seats, and soap dispensers in four public restrooms, in situ bacterial communities were characterized hourly, daily, and weekly to determine their successional ecology. The viability of cultivable bacteria, following the removal of dispersal agents (humans), was also assessed hourly. A late-successional community developed within 5 to 8 h on restroom floors and showed remarkable stability over weeks to months. Despite late-successional dominance by skin- and outdoor-associated bacteria, the most ubiquitous organisms were predominantly gut-associated taxa, which persisted following exclusion of humans. Staphylococcus represented the majority of the cultivable community, even after several hours of human exclusion. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)-associated virulence genes were found on floors but were not present in assembled Staphylococcus pan-genomes. Viral abundances, which were predominantly enterophages, human papilloma virus, and herpesviruses, were significantly correlated with bacterial abundances and showed an unexpectedly low virus-to-bacterium ratio in surface-associated samples, suggesting that bacterial hosts are mostly dormant on BE surfaces.

AB We describe the isolation of a novel flavivirus, isolated from a pool of mosquitoes identified as Culex (Culex) chidesteri collected in 2010 in the Pantanal region of west-central Brazil. The virus is herein designated Nhumirim virus (NHUV) after the name of the ranch from which the mosquito pool was collected. Flavivirus RNA was detected by real-time RT-PCR of homogenized mosquitoes and from the corresponding C6/36 culture supernatant. Based on full-genome sequencing, the virus isolate was genetically distinct from but most closely related to Barkedji virus (BJV), a newly described flavivirus from Senegal. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that NHUV grouped with mosquito-borne flaviviruses forming a clade with BJV. This clade may be genetically intermediate between the Culex-borne flaviviruses amplified by birds and the insect-only flaviviruses.

AB During the operation of the Chinese Small Telescope Array (CSTAR) in Dome A of Antarctica in the years 2008, 2009, and 2010, large amounts of photometric data have been obtained for variable stars in the CSTAR field. We present here the study of one of six RR Lyrae variables, Y Oct, observed with CSTAR in Dome A, Antarctica. Photometric data in the i band were obtained in 2008 and 2010, with a duty cycle (defined as the fraction of time representing scientifically available data to CSTAR observation time) of about 44% and 52%, respectively. In 2009, photometric data in the g and r bands were gathered for this star, with a duty cycle of 65% and 60%, respectively. Fourier analysis of the data in the three bands only shows the fundamental frequency and its harmonics, which is characteristic of the non-Blazhko RR Lyrae variables. Values of the fundamental frequency and the amplitudes, as well as the total pulsation amplitude, are obtained from the data in the three bands separately. The amplitude of the fundamental frequency and the total pulsation amplitude in the g band are the largest, and those in the i band the smallest. Two-hundred fifty-one times of maximum are obtained from the three seasons of data, which are analyzed together with 38 maximum times provided in the GEOS RR Lyrae database. A period change rate of -0.96 +/- 0.07 days Myr(-1) is then obtained, which is a surprisingly large negative value. Based on relations available in the literature, the following physical parameters are derived: [Fe/H] = -1.41 +/- 0.14, MV = 0.696 +/- 0.014 mag, V - K = 1.182 +/- 0.028 mag, log T-eff = 3.802 +/- 0.003 K, log g = 2.705 +/- 0.004, logL/L-circle dot = 1.625 +/- 0.013, and logM/M-circle dot = -0.240 +/- 0.019.

AB We present an overview of a new integral field spectroscopic survey called MaNGA (Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory), one of three core programs in the fourth-generation Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-IV) that began on 2014 July 1. MaNGA will investigate the internal kinematic structure and composition of gas and stars in an unprecedented sample of 10,000 nearby galaxies. We summarize essential characteristics of the instrument and survey design in the context of MaNGA's key science goals and present prototype observations to demonstrate MaNGA's scientific potential. MaNGA employs dithered observations with 17 fiber-bundle integral field units that vary in diameter from 12 '' (19 fibers) to 32 '' (127 fibers). Two dual-channel spectrographs provide simultaneous wavelength coverage over 3600-10300 angstrom at R similar to 2000. With a typical integration time of 3 hr, MaNGA reaches a target r-band signal-to-noise ratio of 4-8 (angstrom(-1) per 2 '' fiber) at 23 AB mag arcsec(-2), which is typical for the outskirts of MaNGA galaxies. Targets are selected with M* greater than or similar to 10(9) M-circle dot using SDSS-I redshifts and i-band luminosity to achieve uniform radial coverage in terms of the effective radius, an approximately flat distribution in stellar mass, and a sample spanning a wide range of environments. Analysis of our prototype observations demonstrates MaNGA's ability to probe gas ionization, shed light on recent star formation and quenching, enable dynamical modeling, decompose constituent components, and map the composition of stellar populations. MaNGA's spatially resolved spectra will enable an unprecedented study of the astrophysics of nearby galaxies in the coming 6 yr.

AB Using the recently installed Gemini Planet Imager (GPI), we have obtained the first H-band spectrum of the planetary companion to the nearby young star beta Pictoris. GPI is designed to image and provide low-resolution spectra of Jupiter-sized, self-luminous planetary companions around young nearby stars. These observations were taken covering the H band (1.65 mu m). The spectrum has a resolving power of similar to 45 and demonstrates the distinctive triangular shape of a cool substellar object with low surface gravity. Using atmospheric models, we find an effective temperature of 1600-1700K and a surface gravity of log(g) = 3.5-4.5 (cgs units). These values agree well with "hot-start" predictions from planetary evolution models for a gas giant with mass between 10 and 12 M-Jup and age between 10 and 20 Myr.

AB We present time-resolved near-infrared spectroscopy of two L5 dwarfs, 2MASS J18212815+1414010 and 2MASS J15074759-1627386, observed with the Wide Field Camera 3 instrument on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). We study the wavelength dependence of rotation-modulated flux variations between 1.1 mu m and 1.7 mu m. We find that the water absorption bands of the two L5 dwarfs at 1.15 mu m and 1.4 mu m vary at similar amplitudes as the adjacent continuum. This differs from the results of previous HST observations of L/T transition dwarfs, in which the water absorption at 1.4 mu m displays variations of about half of the amplitude at other wavelengths. We find that the relative amplitude of flux variability out of the water band with respect to that in the water band shows a increasing trend from the L5 dwarfs toward the early T dwarfs. We utilize the models of Saumon & Marley and find that the observed variability of the L5 dwarfs can be explained by the presence of spatially varying high-altitude haze layers above the condensate clouds. Therefore, our observations show that the heterogeneity of haze layers-the driver of the variability-must be located at very low pressures, where even the water opacity is negligible. In the near future, the rotational spectral mapping technique could be utilized for other atomic and molecular species to probe different pressure levels in the atmospheres of brown dwarfs and exoplanets and uncover both horizontal and vertical cloud structures.

AB Merely for working in their field of expertise, Iranian nuclear scientists face perils and pressures that are nothing less than Shakespearean. The question for them is, in a very real sense, to be or not to be. In the course of the last four decades, these scientists have faced intimidation and severe punishment, including prison terms, at the hands of their own government. In recent years, at least five Iranian nuclear scientists have been the target of assassination attempts often attributed to Israeli intelligence. Regardless of their source, all such threats against scientists are morally indefensible. They offend the scientific spirit, working against the free exchange of ideas that is necessary for humanity to advance. And in the final analysis, the authors assert, these threats against scientists in Iran undermine global peace, targeting experts whose international collaboration is required to deal effectively with the nuclear risks facing the world today. Simply put, killing nuclear scientists makes reducing the threat of nuclear war harder, not easier.

AB Hierarchically superstructured Prussian blue analogues (hexacyanoferrate, M= Ni-II, Co-II and Cu-II) are synthesized through a spontaneous assembly technique. In sharp contrast to macroporous-only Prussian blue analogues, the hierarchically superstructured porous Prussian blue materials are demonstrated to possess a high capacitance, which is similar to those of the conventional hybrid graphene/MnO2 nanostructured textiles. Because sodium or potassium ions are involved in energy storage processes, more environmentally neutral electrolytes can be utilized, making the superstructured porous Prussian blue analogues a great contender for applications as high-performance pseudocapacitors.

AB Headwater species and peripheral populations that occupy habitat at the edge of a species range may hold an increased conservation value to managers due to their potential to maximize intraspecies diversity and species' adaptive capabilities in the context of rapid environmental change. The southern Appalachian Mountains are the southern extent of the geographic range of native Salvelinus fontinalis and naturalized Oncorhynchus mykiss and Salmo trutta in eastern North America. We predicted distributions of these peripheral, headwater wild trout populations at a fine scale to serve as a planning and management tool for resource managers to maximize resistance and resilience of these populations in the face of anthropogenic stressors. We developed correlative logistic regression models to predict occurrence of brook trout, rainbow trout, and brown trout for every interconfluence stream reach in the study area. A streamnetwork was generated to capture a more consistent representation of headwater streams. Each of the final models had four significant metrics in common: stream order, fragmentation, precipitation, and land cover. Strahler stream order was found to be the most influential variable in two of the three final models and the second most influential variable in the other model. Greater than 70% presence accuracy was achieved for all three models. The underrepresentation of headwater streams in commonly used hydrography datasets is an important consideration that warrants close examination when forecasting headwater species distributions and range estimates. Additionally, it appears that a relative watershed position metric (e.g., stream order) is an important surrogate variable (even when elevation is included) for biotic interactions across the landscape in areas where headwater species distributions are influenced by topographical gradients.

AB Many scientific and engineering problems involve interconnected surfaces meeting at junctions. For example, understanding the dynamics of a soap bubble foam can require modelling the fluid mechanics of liquid inside an intricate network of thin-film membranes. If a mesh of these surfaces is needed, the use of standard meshing algorithms often leads to voids, overlapping elements, or other artefacts near the junctions. Here, we present an algorithm to generate high-quality triangulated meshes of a set of interconnected surfaces with high surface accuracy. By capitalising on mathematical aspects of a geometric construction known as the "Voronoi interface", the algorithm first creates a topologically consistent mesh automatically, without making heuristic or complex decisions about surface topology. In particular, elements that meet at a junction do so by sharing a common edge, leading to simplifications in finite element calculations. In the second stage of the algorithm, mesh quality is improved by applying a short sequence of force-based smoothing, projection, and edge-flipping steps. Efficiency is further enhanced by using a locally adaptive time stepping scheme that prevents inversion of mesh elements, and we also comment on how the algorithm can be parallelised. Results are shown using a variety of examples arising from multiphase curvature flow, geometrically defined objects, surface reconstruction from volumetric point clouds, and a simulation of the multiscale dynamics of a cluster of soap bubbles. In this last example, generating high-quality meshes of evolving interconnected surfaces is crucial in determining thin-film liquid dynamics via finite element methods.

AB BACKGROUND: Previous research has found relationships between specific indoor environmental exposures and exacerbation of asthma.
OBJECTIVES: In this review we provide an updated summary of knowledge from the scientific literature on indoor exposures and exacerbation of asthma.
METHODS: Peer-reviewed articles published from 2000 to 2013 on indoor exposures and exacerbation of asthma were identified through PubMed, from reference lists, and from authors' files. Articles that focused on modifiable indoor exposures in relation to frequency or severity of exacerbation of asthma were selected for review. Research findings were reviewed and summarized with consideration of the strength of the evidence.
RESULTS: Sixty-nine eligible articles were included. Major changed conclusions include a causal relationship with exacerbation for indoor dampness or dampness-related agents (in children); associations with exacerbation for dampness or dampness-related agents (in adults), endotoxin, and environmental tobacco smoke (in preschool children); and limited or suggestive evidence for association with exacerbation for indoor culturable Penicillium or total fungi, nitrogen dioxide, rodents (nonoccupational), feather/down pillows (protective relative to synthetic bedding), and (regardless of specific sensitization) dust mite, cockroach, dog, and dampness-related agents.
DISCUSSION: This review, incorporating evidence reported since 2000, increases the strength of evidence linking many indoor factors to the exacerbation of asthma. Conclusions should be considered provisional until all available evidence is examined more thoroughly.
CONCLUSION: Multiple indoor exposures, especially dampness-related agents, merit increased attention to prevent exacerbation of asthma, possibly even in nonsensitized individuals. Additional research to establish causality and evaluate interventions is needed for these and other indoor exposures.

AB Accurate quantification and clear understanding of regional scale cropland carbon (C) cycling is critical for designing effective policies and management practices that can contribute toward stabilizing atmospheric CO2 concentrations. However, extrapolating site-scale observations to regional scales represents a major challenge confronting the agricultural modeling community. This study introduces a novel geospatial agricultural modeling system (GAMS) exploring the integration of the mechanistic Environmental Policy Integrated Climate model, spatially-resolved data, surveyed management data, and supercomputing functions for cropland C budgets estimates. This modeling system creates spatially-explicit modeling units at a spatial resolution consistent with remotely-sensed crop identification and assigns cropping systems to each of them by geo-referencing surveyed crop management information at the county or state level. A parallel computing algorithm was also developed to facilitate the computationally intensive model runs and output post-processing and visualization. We evaluated GAMS against National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) reported crop yields and inventory estimated county-scale cropland C budgets averaged over 2000-2008. We observed good overall agreement, with spatial correlation of 0.89, 0.90, 0.41, and 0.87, for crop yields, Net Primary Production (NPP), Soil Organic C (SOC) change, and Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE), respectively. However, we also detected notable differences in the magnitude of NPP and NEE, as well as in the spatial pattern of SOC change. By performing crop-specific annual comparisons, we discuss possible explanations for the discrepancies between GAMS and the inventory method, such as data requirements, representation of agroecosystem processes, completeness and accuracy of crop management data, and accuracy of crop area representation. Based on these analyses, we further discuss strategies to improve GAMS by updating input data and by designing more efficient parallel computing capability to quantitatively assess errors associated with the simulation of C budget components. The modularized design of the GAMS makes it flexible to be updated and adapted for different agricultural models so long as they require similar input data, and to be linked with socio-economic models to understand the effectiveness and implications of diverse C management practices and policies.

AB We consider using CO2 as an alternative to water as a working fluid to produce geothermal electricity through the application of a coupled reservoir, wellbore, and surface power-plant model. Our approach has relaxed some of the simplifying assumptions others have made in previous work, through the application of a subsurface reservoir model fully coupled with a detailed wellbore simulator. We also include a simplified representation of CO2 turbomachinery for a surface plant optimized for direct use of supercritical CO2. The wellbore model includes heat transfer between the fluid in the well and the surrounding formation, in addition to frictional, inertial, and gravitational forces. Our results show that thermophysical operating conditions and the amount of power production are greatly influenced by wellbore flow processes and by wellbore/caprock heat transfer. We investigate competing effects that control development of a thermosiphon, which enables production of geothermal electricity without the need for a continuously operating external pump.

AB A series of column transport experiments ranging from 25 degrees C to 275 degrees C, as well as batch sorption experiments at 25 degrees C, were conducted to estimate cation exchange parameters for lithium and cesium at the Newberry Crater Enhanced Geothermal System demonstration site. The experiments were designed to facilitate interpretation of single-well field tracer tests to interrogate fracture surface area. Lithium column transport from 125 degrees C to 275 degrees C showed a strong temperature dependence, with much greater cation exchange at higher temperatures than in 25 degrees C experiments. Cesium column transport at 225 degrees C indicated a weaker temperature dependence, and unlike Li+, its exchange decreased at higher temperatures. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

AB Magnetotellurics (MT) is now an important geophysical tool for imaging complex geothermal energy systems, but retrieving realistic three-dimensional (3D) resistivity models is challenging, and computationally intensive. To ameliorate this situation, we develop a sequenced MT inversion workflow that formalizes and improves upon concepts introduced by Rosenkjaer and Oldenberg (2012). We test the performance and reliability of our workflow using five 3D MT datasets from geothermal fields in the United States (Coso, Raft River) and Iceland (Krafla, Hengill and Krysuvik). We compare inversion results from the standard and sequenced workflows for each experiment, and find that the sequenced workflow always retrieves a better-fitting model, specifically at lower frequencies, which is geologically consistent and representative of a high temperature geothermal system. It also uses fewer computational resources. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

AB In the United States, renewable energy mandates calling for increased production of cellulosic biofuels will require a diversity of bioenergy feedstocks to meet growing demands. Within the suite of potential energy crops, plants within the genus Agave promise to be a productive feedstock in hot and arid regions. The potential distributions of Agave tequilana and Agave deserti in the United States were evaluated based on plant growth parameters identified in an extensive literature review. A geospatial suitability model rooted in fuzzy logic was developed that utilized a suite of biophysical criteria to optimize ideal geographic locations for this new crop, and several suitability scenarios were tested for each species. The results of this spatially explicit suitability model suggest that there is potential for Agave to be grown as an energy feedstock in the southwestern region of the United States - particularly in Arizona, California, and Texas - and a significant portion of these areas are proximate to existing transportation infrastructure. Both Agave species showed the highest state-level renewable energy benefit in Arizona, where agave plants have the potential to contribute 4.8-9.6% of the states' ethanol consumption, and 2.5-4.9% of its electricity consumption, for A. deserti and A. tequilana, respectively. This analysis supports the feasibility of Agave as a complementary bioenergy feedstock that can be grown in areas too harsh for conventional energy feedstocks.

AB Superoxide reductases (SORs) are the most recently identified superoxide detoxification systems, being found in microorganisms from the three domains of life. These enzymes are characterized by a catalytic mononuclear iron site, with one cysteine and four histidine ligands of the ferrous active form. A lysine residue in the -EKHVP- motif, located close to the active site, has been considered to be essential for the enzyme function, by contributing to the positive surface patch that attracts the superoxide anion and by controlling the chemistry of the catalytic mechanism through a hydrogen bond network. However, we show here that this residue is substituted by non-equivalent amino acids in several putative SORs from Archaea and unicellular Eukarya. In this work, we focus on mechanistic and spectroscopic studies of one of these less common enzymes, the SOR from the hyperthermophilic Crenarchaeon Ignicoccus hospitalis. We employ pulse radiolysis fast kinetics and spectroscopic approaches to study the wild-type enzyme (-E23T24HVP-), and two mutants, T24K and E23A, the later mimicking enzymes lacking both the lysine and glutamate (a ferric ion ligand) of the motif. The efficiency of the wild-type protein and mutants in reducing superoxide is comparable to other SORs, revealing the robustness of these enzymes to single mutations.

AB Understanding the dynamic charge storage in nanoporous electrodes with room-temperature ionic liquid electrolytes is essential for optimizing them to achieve supercapacitors with high energy and power densities. Herein, we report coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations of the cyclic voltammetry of supercapacitors featuring subnanometer pores and model ionic liquids. We show that the cyclic charging and discharging of nanopores are governed by the interplay between the external field-driven ion transport and the sloshing dynamics of ions inside of the pore. The ion occupancy along the pore length depends strongly on the scan rate and varies cyclically during charging/discharging. Unlike that at equilibrium conditions or low scan rates, charge storage at high scan rates is dominated by counterions while the contribution by co-ions is marginal or negative. These observations help explain the perm-selective charge storage observed experimentally. We clarify the mechanisms underlying these dynamic phenomena and quantify their effects on the efficiency of the dynamic charge storage in nanopores.

TI Sum over Histories Representation for Chemical Kinetics
SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY LETTERS

DT Article
ID REACTION-MECHANISMS; SYSTEMS; NETWORKS
AB A new representation for chemical kinetics is introduced that is based on a sum over histories formulation that employs chemical pathways defined at a molecular level. The time evolution of a chemically reactive system is described by enumerating the most important pathways followed by a chemical moiety. An explicit formula for the pathway probabilities is derived and takes the form of an integral over a time-ordered product. When evaluating long pathways, the time-ordered product has a simple Monte Carlo representation that is computationally efficient. A small numerical stochastic simulation was used to identify the most important paths to include in the representation. The method was applied to a realistic H-2/O-2 combustion problem and is shown to yield accurate results.

AB Exploratory work on gamma exposure to dried solids with chemically-bound water that are typical of those produced on aluminum-clad nuclear fuel in reactor and post-discharge storage has shown a profound production of hydrogen (as the sole gaseous species) from dry boehmite (gamma-AlOOH or Al2O3 center dot H2O) powders and barely observable hydrogen from dry gibbsite (gamma-Al(OH)(3) or Al2O3 center dot 3H(2)O) under gamma irradiation from cobalt-60. A computational investigation of hydrogen bond energies was performed to provide insights to explain the experimental observations. A gas phase or single-molecule model, and a solid phase model were used. For all model reactions, computations indicate hydrogen loss is more favorable for boehmite than for gibbsite, in qualitative agreement with the experimental findings.

AB A diglycolamide-based resin was characterized for Group 5 (Ta, Nb and pseudo-homolog Pa) separation from Group 4 (Hf and Zr) and tri-valent actinides (Am). The batch uptake of the radionuclides of interest were determined for HNO3/HF matrices and the results were used to develop a column separation method that could be used for element 105 (Db) purification chemistry. Tantalum is significantly retained by the TODGA resin, while Pa/Nb show little to no retention. The affinity for Ta decreases as a function of increased [HNO3], while Zr/Hf (and Am) affinities increase under the same conditions. Adsorption of Ta to polypropylene vials and column frits became a significant focus of this work following several observations made during the course of the column separation method development. All of the Group 5 elements were separated from Group 4 and Am while Ta may be completely isolated from Nb/Pa with the TODGA resin with improvements in column parameters: column height and bed volume.

AB A combination of secondary ion mass spectrometry, optical profilometry and a statistically-driven algorithm was used to develop a non-contact volume analysis method to validate the useful yields of nuclear materials. The volume analysis methodology was applied to ion sputter craters created in silicon and uranium substrates sputtered by 18.5 keV O- and 6.0 keV Ar+ ions. Sputter yield measurements were determined from the volume calculations and were shown to be comparable to Monte Carlo calculations and previously reported experimental observations. Additionally, the volume calculations were used to determine the useful yields of Si+, SiO+ and SiO2 (+) ions from the silicon substrate and U+, UO+ and UO2 (+) ions from the uranium substrate under 18.5 keV O- and 6.0 keV Ar+ ion bombardment. This work represents the first steps toward validating the interlaboratory and cross-platform performance of mass spectrometry for the analysis of nuclear materials.

DE Rapid; Seawater; Sr-90; Radiostrontium; Fission products; Ocean studies
AB A rapid method for Sr-90 in large seawater samples has been developed at the Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) to assay Sr-90 at very low levels. The new method employs novel pre-concentration steps to collect Y-90 quickly from up to 40 L of seawater to achieve a very low minimum detectable activity (MDA). An MDA for Sr-90 of similar to 150 A mu Bq L-1 may be obtained with this method using a 40 L seawater sample aliquot, counting 1,000 min with gas flow proportional counting. Following the pre-concentration of Y-90 from the seawater, DGA Resin is used to rapidly separate Y-90 from seawater samples and remove additional beta interferences. Gas flow proportional counting, liquid scintillation or Cerenkov counting may be used to count the purified Y-90 and determine Sr-90 present in the seawater sample. This new sample preparation method takes < 8 h.

AB We report results of a novel technique using an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer as a method of sample preparation for alpha spectrometry. Two samples were produced, a low- and high-bias implant, the potential being the difference between the implant material and the exit ion lens. The two implants were imaged to reveal the geometrical distribution and radiometrically counted and compared to a traditional stipple and electrodeposited Am-241 sample. This method produced thin, contaminant free Am-241 samples which yielded energy resolution of keV full-width at half-maximum which is the lower limit of the large area (450 mm(2)) passivated implanted planar silicon detector used in this research.

AB The mechanisms of phase destabilization upon aging of the metastable t phase of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) are poorly understood, despite its broad application in thermal barrier coatings. To provide insight, synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD) with a quadrupole lamp furnace is used to examine the temperature response, including thermal expansion and phase evolution, of a 9mol% (8wt%) YO(1.5)t-8YSZ. The thermal expansion of equilibrated YSZ powders ranging from 0 to 18.4mol% YO1.5 is also investigated to better understand the effect of composition on the thermal expansion anisotropy. The T-0(c/t) temperature for t-8YSZ is estimated to be 1640 degrees C. Full decomposition of the t phase into a coherent mixture of a Y-lean tetragonal phase (t) and a Y-rich cubic phase (c) that coarsen over time is observed at elevated temperatures; however, upon quenching, the t phase reappears in the diffraction profile. This supports our evolving understanding that the t phase observed by XRD in aged samples is a microstructural artifact due to the coherency strain between the t and c phases.

DT Article

WASTE FORMS; CESIUM; PHASE; IMMOBILIZATION; CHEMISTRY
AB Titanate hollandites comprise a class of potential waste form phases for immobilization of radioactive Cs (and its daughter product Ba) due to their high thermal and aqueous stability. To study their structural behavior at high temperature, we conducted in situ neutron diffraction experiments of a representative tetragonal phase, Ba1.24Al2.48Ti5.52O16, in the temperature range 300-1173K. Rietveld analyses of the obtained data show that on heating, unit-cell parameters a and c increase at similar rates. This isotropic nature of thermal expansion can be explained by the increased volume and regularity of [(Ti,Al)O-6] octahedra and the widening of the Ti/Al-O2-Ti/Al angle (O2 is corner-shared by two [(Ti,Al)O-6] octahedra from neighboring [(Ti,Al)O-6] double chains) with increasing temperature. Practically, this property is advantageous, as hollandite-based ceramic or composite products would, upon heating, be less likely to form microcracks. The amplitudes of thermal vibration for Ba, Ti/Al, and O increase with increasing temperature; however, the rate of increase for Ba is much larger. This behavior is due to the occupancy of the box-shaped cavity site by Ba, which has weaker interactions with its neighboring atoms, compared with those for framework Ti/Al and O. On the other hand, the opening of the oxygen-coordinated cavity box is smaller than the size of Ba, even at high temperature, preventing evaporation of Ba from the hollandite structure. These characteristics render titanate hollandites potentially robust waste forms for Cs/Ba.

AB In this work, we develop a crystal plasticity finite element model (CP-FEM) that constitutively captures the temperature and strain rate dependent flow stresses in pure BCC refractory metals. This model is based on the kink-pair theory developed by Seeger (1981) and is calibrated to available data from single crystal experiments to produce accurate and convenient constitutive laws that are implemented into a BCC crystal plasticity model. The model is then used to predict temperature and strain rate dependent yield stresses of single and polycrystal BCC refractory metals (molybdenum, tantalum, tungsten and niobium) and compared with existing experimental data. To connect to larger length scales, classical continuum-scale constitutive models are fit to the CP-FEM predictions of polycrystal yield stresses. The results produced by this model, based on kink-pair theory and with origins in dislocation mechanics, show excellent agreement with the Mechanical Threshold Stress (MIS) model for temperature and strain-rate dependent flow. This framework provides a method to bridge multiple length scales in modeling the deformation of BCC metals. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

The initiation fracture toughness associated with the bonded materials was measured during the testing. The bulge testing of the uranium-molybdenum alloy plasma sprayed with zirconium and clad in aluminum is presented. The initiation fracture toughness was observed to increase with the increasing cathodic arc-cleaning current and the use of alternating polarity transferred arc current. This dependence was linked to the interface composition of oxide and mixed metal phases along with the interface temperature during spray deposition.

AB The Northwest Geysers Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) demonstration project aims to create an EGS by directly and systematically injecting cool water at relatively low pressure into a known High Temperature (280-400 A degrees C) Zone (HTZ) located under the conventional (240 A degrees C) geothermal steam reservoir at The Geysers geothermal field in California. In this paper, the results of coupled thermal, hydraulic, and mechanical (THM) analyses made using a model developed as part of the pre-stimulation phase of the EGS demonstration project is presented. The model simulations were conducted in order to investigate injection strategies and the resulting effects of cold-water injection upon the EGS system; in particular to predict the extent of the stimulation zone for a given injection schedule. The actual injection began on October 6, 2011, and in this paper a comparison of pre-stimulation model predictions with micro-earthquake (MEQ) monitoring data over the first few months of a one-year injection program is presented. The results show that, by using a calibrated THM model based on historic injection and MEQ data at a nearby well, the predicted extent of the stimulation zone (defined as a zone of high MEQ density around the injection well) compares well with observed seismicity. The modeling indicates that the MEQ events are related to shear reactivation of preexisting fractures, which is triggered by the combined effects of injection-induced cooling around the injection well and small changes in steam pressure as far as half a kilometer away from the injection well. Pressure-monitoring data at adjacent wells and satellite-based ground-surface deformation data were also used to validate and further calibrate reservoir-scale hydraulic and mechanical model properties. The pressure signature monitored from the start of the injection was particularly useful for a precise back-calculation of reservoir porosity. The first few months of reservoir pressure and surface deformation data were useful for estimating the reservoir-rock permeability and elastic modulus. Finally, although the extent of the calculated stimulation zone matches the field observations over the first few months of injection, the observed surface deformations and MEQ evolution showed more heterogeneous behavior as a result of more complex geology, including minor faults and fracture zones that are important for consideration in the analysis of energy production and the long-term evolution of the EGS system.

AB The influence of long-term chemical fertilization on soil microbial communities has been one of the frontier topics of agricultural and environmental sciences and is critical for linking soil microbial flora with soil functions. In this study, 16S rRNA gene pyrosequencing and a functional gene array, geochip 4.0, were used to investigate the shifts in microbial composition and functional gene structure in paddy soils with different fertilization treatments over a 22-year period. These included a control without fertilizers; chemical nitrogen fertilizer (N); N and phosphate (NP); N and potassium (NK); and N, P and K (NPK). Based on 16S rRNA gene data, both species evenness and key genera were affected by P fertilization. Functional gene array-based analysis revealed that long-term fertilization significantly changed the overall microbial functional structures. Chemical fertilization significantly increased the diversity and abundance of most genes involved in C, N, P and S cycling, especially for the treatments NK and NPK. Significant correlations were found among functional gene structure and abundance, related soil enzymatic activities and rice yield, suggesting that a fertilizer-induced shift in the microbial community may accelerate the nutrient turnover in soil, which in turn influenced rice growth. The effect of N fertilization on soil microbial functional genes was mitigated by the addition of P fertilizer in this P-limited paddy soil, suggesting that balanced chemical fertilization is beneficial to the soil microbial community and its functions.

AB Understanding the response of permafrost microbial communities to climate warming is crucial for evaluating ecosystem feedbacks to global change. This study investigated soil bacterial and archaeal communities by Illumina MiSeq sequencing of 16S rRNA gene amplicons across a permafrost thaw gradient at different depths in Alaska with thaw progression for over three decades. Over 4.6million passing 16S rRNA gene sequences were obtained from a total of 97 samples, corresponding to 61 known classes and 470 genera. Soil depth and the associated soil physical-chemical properties had predominant impacts on the diversity and composition of the microbial communities. Both richness and evenness of the microbial communities decreased with soil depth. Acidobacteria, Verrucomicrobia, Alpha- and Gamma-Proteobacteria dominated the microbial communities in the upper horizon, whereas abundances of Bacteroidetes, Delta-Proteobacteria and Firmicutes increased towards deeper soils. Effects of thaw progression were absent in microbial communities in the near-surface organic soil, probably due to greater temperature variation. Thaw progression decreased the abundances of the majority of the associated taxa in the lower organic soil, but increased the abundances of those in the mineral soil, including groups potentially involved in recalcitrant C degradation (Actinomycetales, Chitinophaga, etc.). The changes in microbial communities may be related to altered soil C sources by thaw progression. Collectively, this study revealed different impacts of thaw in the organic and mineral horizons and suggests the importance of studying both the upper and deeper soils while evaluating microbial responses to permafrost thaw.

AB Therapeutic monoclonal antibody (mAb) candidates that form highly viscous solutions at concentrations above 100 mg/mL can lead to challenges in bioprocessing, formulation development, and subcutaneous drug delivery. Earlier studies of mAbs with concentration-dependent high viscosity have indicated that mAbs with negatively charged Fv regions have a dipole-like quality that increases the likelihood of reversible self-association. This suggests that weak electrostatic intermolecular interactions can form transient antibody networks that participate in resistance to solution deformation under shear stress. Here this hypothesis is explored by parametrizing a coarse-grained (CG) model of an antibody using the domain charges from four different mAbs that have had their concentration-dependent viscosity behaviors previously determined. Multicopy molecular dynamics simulations were performed for these four CG mAbs at several concentrations to understand the effect of surface charge on mass diffusivity, pairwise interactions, and electrostatic network formation. Diffusion coefficients computed from simulations were in qualitative agreement with experimentally determined viscosities for all four mAbs. Contact analysis revealed an overall greater number of pairwise interactions for the two mAbs in this study with high concentration viscosity issues. Further, using equilibrated solution trajectories, the two mAbs with high concentration viscosity issues quantitatively formed more features of an electrostatic network than the other mAbs. The change in the number of these network features as a function of concentration is related to the number of pairwise interactions formed by electrostatic complementarities between antibody domains. Thus, transient antibody network formation caused by domain-domain electrostatic complementarities is the most probable origin of high concentration viscosity for mAbs in this study.

ID ELECTRONICS; RESISTANCE
AB Conductive adhesives are found favorable in a wide range of applications including a lead-free solder in micro-chips, flexible and printable electronics and enhancing the performance of energy storage devices. Composite materials comprised of metallic fillers and a polymer matrix are of great interest to be implemented as hybrid conductive adhesives. Here we investigated a cost-effective conductive adhesive material consisting of silver-coated copper as micro-fillers using synchrotron-based three-dimensional (3D) X-ray nano-tomography. The key factors affecting the quality and performance of the material were quantitatively studied in 3D on the nanometer scale for the first time. A critical characteristic parameter, defined as a shape-factor, was determined to yield a high-quality silver coating, leading to satisfactory performance. A 'stack-and-screen' mechanism was proposed to elaborate such a phenomenon. The findings and the technique developed in this work will facilitate the future advancement of conductive adhesives to have a great impact in micro-electronics and other applications.

AB Polymerized ionic liquids (PolyILs) are promising materials for various solid state electronic applications such as dye-sensitized solar cells, lithium batteries, actuators, field-effect transistors, light emitting electrochemical cells, and electrochromic devices. However, fundamental understanding of interconnection between ionic transport and mechanical properties in PolyILs is far from complete. In this work, local charge transport and structural changes in films of a PolyIL are studied using an integrated experiment-theory based approach. Experimental data for the kinetics of charging and steady state current-voltage relations can be explained by taking into account the dissociation of ions under an applied electric field (known as the Wien effect). Onsager's theory of the Wien effect coupled with the Poisson-Nernst-Planck formalism for the charge transport is found to be in excellent agreement with the experimental results. The agreement between the theory and experiments allows us to predict structural properties of the PolyIL films. We have observed significant softening of the PolyIL films beyond certain threshold voltages and formation of holes under a scanning probe microscopy (SPM) tip, through which an electric field was applied. The observed softening is explained by the theory of depression in glass transition temperature resulting from enhanced dissociation of ions with an increase in applied electric field.

AB Earth abundant manganese bismuth (MnBi) has long been of interest due to its largemagnetocrystalline anisotropy and high energy density for advanced permanent magnet applications. However, solution synthesis of MnBi phase is challenging due to the reduction potential mismatch between Mn and Bi elements. In this study, we show a versatile MnBi synthesis method involving the metal co-reduction followed by thermal annealing. The magnetically hard MnBi crystalline phase is then exchange coupled with magnetically soft cobalt coating. Our processing approach offers a promising strategy for manufacturing rare-earth-free magnetic nanocrystals.

AB This work presents a three-step synthetic procedure to obtain a hypergrafted copolymer composed of a glassy backbone with flexible branched pendant segments. The desired hypergrafted structure was obtained by using a polyfunctional macroinitiator, linear poly(styreneco-4-hydroxystyrene), to yield polystyrene-graft-hyperbranched polyglycidol with randomly placed branch junctions. Atomic force microscopy, dynamic light scattering, and viscometry probed the aggregation and viscometric behavior of the polymer in DMF and DMF-LiBr solutions. The polymer exhibited polyelectrolyte behavior demonstrated by a large increase in the reduced viscosity prior to neutralization with LiBr salt. Additionally, conformational changes were observed by dynamic light scattering in both the average aggregate size and aggregate population with the addition of LiBr salt.

AB Palladium and its alloys are model systems for studying the solid-state storage of hydrogen. Mechanical milling is commonly used to process complex powder systems for solid-state hydrogen storage; however, milling can also be used to evolve nanostructured powder to modify hydrogen sorption characteristics. In the present study, cryomilling (mechanical attrition milling in a cryogenic liquid) is used to produce nanostructured palladium rhodium alloy powder. Characterization of the cryomilled Pd-10Rh using electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and surface area analysis reveal that (i) particle morphology evolves from spherical to flattened disk-like particles; while (ii) crystallite size decreases from several microns to less than 100 nm; and (iii) dislocation density increases with increased cryomilling time. Hydrogen absorption and desorption isotherms as well as the time scales for absorption were measured for cryomilled Pd-10Rh, and correlated with observed microstructural changes induced by the cryomilling process. In short, as the microstructure of the Pd-10Rh alloy is refined by cryomilling: (i) the maximum hydrogen concentration in the a-phase increases, (ii) the pressure plateau becomes flatter and (iii) the equilibrium hydrogen capacity increases at pressure of 101.3 kPa. Additionally, the rate of hydrogen absorption was reduced by an order of magnitude compared to non-cryomilled (atomized) powder. (C) 2014 Published by Elsevier Ltd. on behalf of Acta Materialia Inc.

AB We report the results of an extensive phase-field study of the growth competition of columnar dendritic grains in two dimensions. We investigate the influence of the temperature gradient and grain bicrystallography on the selection of both grain and microstructure, focusing on a geometry with two grains with principal crystal axes oriented parallel and at a finite misorientation angle with respect to the axis of the temperature gradient. Our first main finding is that, for well-developed dendritic structures forming at a low-temperature gradient, the rate of elimination of the misoriented grain is a non-monotonic function of the difference in undercooling between the dendrite tips of the two grains. Hence this rate cannot be predicted even qualitatively by the common assumption that the elimination rate increases with this undercooling difference. The breakdown of this assumption is particularly striking for highly misoriented dendritic and degenerate structures that persist for very long times despite growing at a substantially larger undercooling than the well-oriented neighboring grains. Our second main finding is that microscopic thermal fluctuations at the origin of sidebranching can induce significant variations in the macroscopic trajectories of grain boundaries (GBs), thereby making grain selection a stochastic process, while yielding limited variations in the selected primary spacings. In contrast, in the absence of fluctuations, GB motion becomes essentially deterministic and grain elimination is suppressed. In addition, our simulations reproduce quantitatively scaling laws deduced from experiments for both the primary dendritic spacing and the dendrite growth direction of misoriented grains. They further reveal that the "intergrain" primary spacing selected by tertiary branching events at GBs is systematically larger than the "intragrain" primary spacing selected by the transient growth competition between primary branches within a single grain, while obeying the same scaling laws. Finally, the fact that the rate of grain elimination is slower in our 2-D simulations than in experiments suggests that the 3-D grain bicrystallography plays a key role in grain selection. This role is interpreted in the light of 2-D simulations that hinder sidebranching on the misoriented grain. (C) 2014 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB The Monte Carlo model is one of the most frequently used approaches to simulate grain growth, and retains a number of features that derive from the closely related Ising and Potts models. The suitability of these features for the simulation of grain growth is examined, and several modifications to the Hamiltonian and transition probability function are proposed. The resulting model is shown to not only reproduce the usual behaviors of grain growth simulations, but to substantially reduce the effect of the underlying pixel lattice on the microstructure as compared to contemporary simulations.

AB The accumulation and clustering of He atoms at Sigma 3 < 110 >{112) and Sigma 73b < 110 > {661} grain boundaries (GBs) in body-centred cubic Fe, as well as their effects on GB reconstruction, have been investigated using atomic-level computer simulations. The accumulation of He atoms and the evolution of the GB structure all depend on local He concentration, temperature and the original GB structure. At a local He concentration of 1%, small He clusters are formed in the Sigma 3 GB, accompanied by the emission of single self-interstitial Fe atoms (SIAs). At a He concentration of 5%, a large number of SIAs are emitted from He clusters in the Sigma 3 GB and collect at the periphery of these clusters. The SIAs eventually form < 100 > dislocation loops between two He clusters. It is likely that impurities may promote the formation of < 100 > loops and enhance their stabilities in alpha-Fe. At a He concentration of 10%, the large number of emitted SIAs are able to rearrange themselves, forming a new GB plane within the Sigma 3 GB, which results in self-healing of the GB and leads to GB migration. In contrast to the Sigma 3 GB, He clusters are mainly formed along the GB dislocation lines in the Sigma 73b, and the emitted SIAs accumulate at the cores of the GB dislocations, leading to the climb of the dislocations within the GB plane. As compared to bulk Fe, a higher number density of clusters form at GBs, but the average cluster size is smaller. The product of cluster density and average cluster size is roughly constant at a given He level, and is about the same in bulk and GB regions, and varies linearly with the He concentration.

AB Stress-driven grain boundary (GB) migration has been evident as a dominant mechanism accounting for plastic deformation in crystalline solids. Using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations on a Ti bicrystal model, we show that a uniaxial stress-driven coupling is associated with the recently observed 90 GB reorientation in shock simulations and nanopillar compression measurements. This is not consistent with the theory of shear-induced coupled GB migration. In situ atomic configuration analysis reveals that this GB motion is accompanied by the glide of two sets of parallel dislocation arrays, and the uniaxial stress-driven coupling is explained through a composite action of symmetrically distributed dislocations and deformation twins. In addition, the coupling factor is calculated from MD simulations over a wide range of temperatures. We find that the coupled motion can be thermally damped (i.e., not thermally activated), probably due to the absence of the collective action of interface dislocations. This uniaxial coupled mechanism is believed to apply to other hexagonal close-packed metals. (C) 2014 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB Light absorbing particles (LAP, e.g., black carbon, brown carbon, and dust) influence water and energy budgets of the atmosphere and snowpack in multiple ways. In addition to their effects associated with atmospheric heating by absorption of solar radiation and interactions with clouds, LAP in snow on land and ice can reduce the surface reflectance (a.k.a., surface darkening), which is likely to accelerate the snow aging process and further reduces snow albedo and increases the speed of snowpack melt. LAP in snow and ice (LAPSI) has been identified as one of major forcings affecting climate change, e.g. in the fourth and fifth assessment reports of IPCC. However, the uncertainty level in quantifying this effect remains very high. In this review paper, we document various technical methods of measuring LAPSI and review the progress made in measuring the LAPSI in Arctic, Tibetan Plateau and other mid-latitude regions. We also report the progress in modeling the mass concentrations, albedo reduction, radiative forcing, and climatic and hydrological impact of LAPSI at global and regional scales. Finally we identify some research needs for reducing the uncertainties in the impact of LAPSI on global and regional climate and the hydrological cycle.

AB We present a study on the improvement of the spatial quality of a laser beam, called modal filtering, suitable to high-energy lasers. The method is theoretically compared with the classical pinhole filtering technique in the case of an astigmatic Gaussian beam, illustrating, in this particular case, its efficiency for filtering low spatial frequencies. Experimental study of the modal filtering of a temporally chirped beam from a Ti:Sapphire chirped-pulse-amplification system is presented. Beam profile, wavefront and pulse duration after compression were measured, showing a dramatic improvement of beam quality and no modifications of the temporal distribution. High-order harmonic generation in a rare gas, a highly nonlinear process which is phase-matching dependent, was used to test the effect of the filter and showed a clear enhancement of the generation.

AB Tokamak power plants are studied with advanced and conservative design philosophies to identify the impacts on the resulting designs and to provide guidance to critical research needs. Incorporating updated physics understanding and using more sophisticated engineering and physics analysis, the tokamak configurations have developed a more credible basis compared with older studies. The advanced configuration assumes a self-cooled lead lithium blanket concept with SiC composite structural material with 58% thermal conversion efficiency. This plasma has a major radius of 6.25 m, a toroidal field of 6.0 T, a q(95) of 4.5, a beta(total)(N) of 5.75, an H-98 of 1.65, an n/n(Gr). of 1.0, and a peak divertor heat flux of 13.7 MW/m(2). The conservative configuration assumes a dual-coolant lead lithium blanket concept with reduced-activation ferritic martensitic steel structural material and helium coolant, achieving a thermal conversion efficiency of 45%. The plasma has a major radius of 9.75 m, a toroidal field of 8.75 T, a q(95) of 8.0, a beta(total)(N) of 2.5, an H-98 of 1.25, an n/n(Gr) of 1.3, and a peak divertor heat flux of 10 MW/m(2). The divertor heat flux treatment with a narrow power scrape-off width has driven the plasmas to larger major radius. Edge and divertor plasma simulations are targeting a basis for high radiated power fraction in the divertor, which is necessary for solutions to keep the peak heat flux in the range 10 to 15 MW/m(2). Combinations of the advanced and conservative approaches show intermediate sizes. A new systems code using a database approach has been used and shows that the operating point is really an operating zone with some range of plasma and engineering parameters and very similar costs of electricity. Other papers in this issue provide more detailed discussion of the work summarized here.

AB ARIES-ACT1 is the latest in a series of tokamak power plant designs that capitalize on the high-temperature capabilities and attractive safety and environmental characteristics of SiC composites coupled with a self-cooled lead-lithium breeder. This combination offers both design simplicity and high performance, capable of operating at very high coolant outlet temperature in a moderately high-power-density device. Blankets are supported within a poloidally continuous He-cooled steel structural ring, which adds robustness and minimizes loads on the SiC modules. In order to withstand high local surface heat flux in the divertor (of the order of 14 MW/m(2) time averaged), a helium-cooled tungsten-alloy divertor was adopted. About 25% of the total "high-grade" heat is thus removed by helium, to be combined with the blanket heat in order to feed the power cycle. In addition to the in-vessel power-producing elements of the design, this paper also summarizes the key features and analysis of the vacuum vessel and power conversion system.

AB The advanced physics and advanced technology tokamak power plant ARIES-ACT1 has a major radius of 6.25 m at an aspect ratio of 4.0, toroidal field of 6.0 T, strong shaping with elongation of 2.2, and triangularity of 0.63. The broadest pressure cases reached wall-stabilized beta(N) similar to 5.75, limited by n = 3 external kink mode requiring a conducting shell at b/a = 0 3, requiring plasma rotation, feedback, and/or kinetic stabilization. The medium pressure peaking case reaches) beta(N) = 5.28 with B-T = 6.75, while the peaked pressure case reaches beta(N) < 5.15. Fast particle magnetohydrodynamic stability shows that the alpha particles are unstable, but this leads to redistribution to larger minor radius rather than loss from the plasma. Edge and divertor plasma modeling shows that 75% of the power to the divertor can be radiated with an ITER-like divertor geometry, while >95% can be radiated in a stable detached mode with an orthogonal target and wide slot geometry. The bootstrap current fraction is 91% with a q(95) of 4.5, requiring similar to 1.1 MA of external current drive. This current is supplied with 5 MW of ion cyclotron radio frequency/fast wave and 40 MW of lower hybrid current drive. Electron cyclotron is most effective for safety factor control over rho similar to 0.2 to 0.6 with 20 MW. The pedestal density is similar to 0.9 X 10(20)/m(3), and the temperature is similar to 4.4 keV. The H-98 factor is 1.65, n/n(Gr) = 1.0, and the ratio of net power to threshold power is 2.8 to 3.0 in the flattop.

AB Simulations of the heat flux on plasma-facing components from core exhaust plasma are reported for two possible ACT1 divertor configurations. One configuration uses divertor plates strongly inclined with respect to the poloidal magnetic flux surfaces similar to that planned for ITER and results in a partially detached divertor plasma. The second configuration has divertor plates orthogonal to the flux surfaces, which leads to a fully detached divertor plasma if the width of the divertor region is sufficient. Both configurations use scrape-off layer radiation from seeded impurities to yield an acceptable peak heat flux of similar to 10 MW/m(2) or smaller on the divertor plates and chamber walls. The simulations are performed with the UEDGE two-dimensional transport code to model both plasma and neutral components with some supplementary neutral modeling performed with the DEGAS 2 Monte Carlo code.

DE ARIES-ACT power plant; MELCOR; fusion safety
AB ARIES-ACT1 (Advanced and Conservative Tokamak) is a 1000-MW(electric) tokamak design featuring advanced plasma physics and divertor and blanket engineering. Some relevant features include an advanced SiC blanket with PbLi as coolant and breeder; a helium-cooled steel structural ring and tungsten divertors; a thin-walled, helium-cooled vacuum vessel; and a room-temperature, water-cooled shield outside the vacuum vessel. We consider here some safety aspects of the ARIES-ACT1 design and model a series of design-basis and beyond-design-basis accidents with the MELCOR code modified for fusion. The presence of multiple coolants (PbLi, helium, and water) makes possible a variety of such accidents. We consider here a loss-of-flow accident caused by a long-term station blackout (LTSBO), an ex-vessel helium break into the cryostat, and a beyond-design-basis accident in which a LTSBO is aggravated by a loss-of-coolant accident in ARIES-ACT1's ultimate decay heat removal system, the water-cooled shield. In the design-basis accidents, we find that the secondary confinement boundaries are not challenged, and the structural integrity of in-vessel components is not threatened by high temperatures or pressures; decay heat can be passively removed.

AB The conservative physics and conservative technology tokamak power plant ARIES-ACT2 has a major radius of 9.75 m at an aspect ratio of 4.0 and has strong shaping with elongation of 2.2 and triangularity of 0.63. The plasma current is 14 MA, and the toroidal field at the plasma major radius is 8.75 T, making the maximum field at the toroidal field coil 16 T. The no-wall beta(N) reaches similar to 2.4 limited by n = 1 external kink mode, and can be extended to 3.2 with a stabilizing shell behind the ring structure shield. The bootstrap current fraction is 77% with a q(95) of 8.0, requiring similar to 4.0 MA of external current drive. This current is supplied with 30 MW of ion cyclotron radio frequency/fast wave and 80 MW of negative ion neutral beams. Up to 1.0 MA can be driven with lower hybrid (LH) with no wall, and 1.5 or more MA can be driven with a stabilizing shell. Electron cyclotron was examined and is most effective for safety factor control over rho similar to 0.2 to 0.6 with 20 MW. The pedestal density is similar to 0.65 X 10(20)/m(3), and the temperature is similar to 9.0 keV. The H-98 factor is 1.25, n/n(Gr) = 1.3, and the net power to LH threshold power is 1.3 to 1.4 in the flattop. Because of the high toroidal field and high central temperature, the cyclotron radiation loss was found to be high depending on the first-wall reflectivity.

AB Recent high-precision mass spectrometric studies of the uranium isotopic composition of terrestrial and meteoritic materials have shown significant variation in the U-238/U-235 ratio, which was previously assumed to be invariant (=137.88). In this study, we have investigated 27 bulk meteorite samples from different meteorite groups and types, including carbonaceous (CM1 and CV3), enstatite (EH4) and ordinary (H-, L-, and LL-) chondrites, as well as a variety of achondrites (angrites, eucrites, and ungrouped) to constrain the distribution of U isotopic heterogeneities and to determine the average U-238/U-235 for the Solar System.
The investigated bulk meteorites show a range in U-238/U-235 between 137.711 and 137.891 (1.3 parts per thousand) with the largest variations among ordinary chondrites (OCs). However, the U isotope compositions of 20 of the 27 meteorites analyzed here overlap within analytical uncertainties with the narrow range defined by terrestrial basalts (137.778-137.803), which are likely the best representatives for the U isotope composition of the bulk silicate Earth. Furthermore, the average U-238/U-235 of all investigated meteorite groups overlaps with that of terrestrial basalts (137.795 +/- 0.013). The bulk meteorite samples studied here do not show a negative correlation of U-238/U-235 with Nd/U or Th/U (used as proxies for the Cm/U ratio), as would be expected if radiogenic U-235 was generated by the decay of extant Cm-247 in the early Solar System. Rather, ordinary chondrites show a positive correlation of U-238/U-235 with Nd/U and with 1/U.
The following conclusions can be drawn from this study: (1) The Solar System has a broadly homogeneous U isotope composition, and bulk samples of only a limited number of meteorites display detectable U isotope variations; (2) Bulk planetary differentiation has no significant effect on the U-238/U-235 ratio since the Earth, achondrites, and chondrites have indistinguishable U isotope compositions in average. (3) The cause of U isotopic variation in Solar System materials remains enigmatic; however, both the decay of Cm-247 and isotope fractionation are likely responsible for the U isotopic variations observed in CAIs and ordinary chondrites, respectively.
The average U-238/U-235 of the investigated meteorite groups (including data compiled from the literature) and terrestrial basalts is 137.794 +/- 0.027 (at a 95% student's t confidence level, including all propagated uncertainties) and represents the best estimate for the Uisotope composition of the Earth and the Solar System. This value may be used for U-Pb and Pb-Pb dating of Solar System materials, provided the precise U isotope composition of the sample is unknown. Compared to Pb-Pb ages that were determined with the previously assumed value for U-238/U-235 (137.88), this new value results in an age adjustment of -0.9 Ma. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

AB We have measured Sm-Nd systematics, including the short-lived Sm-146-Nd-142 chronometer, in lunar ferroan anorthositic suite (FAS) whole rocks (15415, 62236, 62255, 65315, 60025). At least some members of the suite are thought to be primary crystallization products formed by plagioclase flotation during crystallization of the lunar magma ocean (LMO). Most of these samples, except 62236, have not been exposed to galactic cosmic rays for a long period and thus require minimal correction to their Nd-142 isotope composition. These samples all have measured deficits in Nd-142 relative to the JNdi-1 terrestrial standard in the range -45 to -21 ppm. The range is -45 to -15 ppm once the 62236 Nd-142/Nd-144 ratio is corrected from neutron-capture effects. Analyzed FAS samples do not define a single isochron in either Sm-146-Nd-142 or Sm-147-Nd-143 systematics, suggesting that they either do not have the same crystallization age, come from different sources, or have suffered isotopic disturbance. Because the age is not known for some samples, we explore the implications of their initial isotopic compositions for crystallization ages in the first 400 Ma of solar system history, a timing interval that covers all the ages determined for the ferroan anorthositic suite whole rocks as well as different estimates for the crystallization of the LMO.62255 has the largest deficit in initial Nd-142 and does not appear to have followed the same differentiation path as the other FAS samples. The large deficit in Nd-142 of FAN 62255 may suggest a crystallization age around 60-125 Ma after the beginning of solar system accretion. This result provides essential information about the age of the giant impact forming the Moon. The initial Nd isotopic compositions of FAS samples can be matched either with a bulk-Moon with chondritic Sm/Nd ratio but enstatite-chondrite-like initial Nd-142/Nd-144 (e.g. 10 ppm below modern terrestrial), or a bulk-Moon with superchondritic Sm/Nd ratio and initial Nd-142/Nd-144 similar to ordinary chondrites.

AB Despite significant progress on iron reduction by thermophilic microorganisms, studies on their ability to reduce toxic metals are still limited, despite their common co-existence in high temperature environments (up to 70 degrees C). In this study, Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus, an obligate thermophilic methanogen, was used to reduce hexavalent chromium. Experiments were conducted in a growth medium with H-2/CO2 as substrate with various Cr6+ concentrations (0.2, 0.4, 1, 3, and 5 mM) in the form of potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7). Time-course measurements of aqueous Cr6+ concentrations using 1,5-diphenylcarbazide colorimetric method showed complete reduction of the 0.2 and 0.4 mM Cr6+ solutions by this methanogen. However, much lower reduction extents of 43.6%, 13.0%, and 3.7% were observed at higher Cr6+ concentrations of 1, 3 and 5 mM, respectively. These lower extents of bioreduction suggest a toxic effect of aqueous Cr6+ to cells at this concentration range. At these higher Cr6+ concentrations, methanogenesis was inhibited and cell growth was impaired as evidenced by decreased total cellular protein production and live/dead cell ratio. Likewise, Cr6+ bioreduction rates decreased with increased initial concentrations of Cr6+ from 13.3 to 1.9 mu Mh(-1). X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy revealed a progressive reduction of soluble Cr6+ to insoluble Cr3+ precipitates, which was confirmed as amorphous chromium hydroxide by selected area electron diffraction pattern. However, a small fraction of reduced Cr occurred as aqueous Cr3+. Scanning and transmission electron microscope observations of M. thermautotrophicus cells after Cr6+ exposure suggest both extra-and intracellular chromium reduction mechanisms. Results of this study demonstrate the ability of M. thermautotrophicus cells to reduce toxic Cr6+ to less toxic Cr3+ and its potential application in metal bioremediation, especially at high temperature subsurface radioactive waste disposal sites, where the temperature may reach similar to 70 degrees C.

AB Over the last century the Northern Hemisphere has experienced rapid climate warming, but this warming has not been evenly distributed seasonally, as well as diurnally. The implications of such seasonal and diurnal heterogeneous warming on regional and global vegetation photosynthetic activity, however, are still poorly understood. Here, we investigated for different seasons how photosynthetic activity of vegetation correlates with changes in seasonal daytime and night-time temperature across the Northern Hemisphere (>30 degrees N), using Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) data from 1982 to 2011 obtained from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR). Our analysis revealed some striking seasonal differences in the response of NDVI to changes in day- vs. night-time temperatures. For instance, while higher daytime temperature (T-max) is generally associated with higher NDVI values across the boreal zone, the area exhibiting a statistically significant positive correlation between T-max and NDVI is much larger in spring (41% of area in boreal zone - total area 12.6x10(6)km(2)) than in summer and autumn (14% and 9%, respectively). In contrast to the predominantly positive response of boreal ecosystems to changes in T-max, increases in T-max tended to negatively influence vegetation growth in temperate dry regions, particularly during summer. Changes in night-time temperature (T-min) correlated negatively with autumnal NDVI in most of the Northern Hemisphere, but had a positive effect on spring and summer NDVI in most temperate regions (e.g., Central North America and Central Asia). Such divergent covariance between the photosynthetic activity of Northern Hemispheric vegetation and day- and night-time temperature changes among different seasons and climate zones suggests a changing dominance of ecophysiological processes across time and space. Understanding the seasonally different responses of vegetation photosynthetic activity to diurnal temperature changes, which have not been captured by current land surface models, is important for improving the performance of next generation regional and global coupled vegetation-climate models.

AB A major technological challenge in photovoltaics is the implementation of a lattice matched optically efficient material to be used in conjunction with silicon for tandem photovoltaics. Detailed balance calculations predict an increase in efficiency of up to 12 percentage points for a tandem cell compared with single-junction silicon. Given that the III-V materials currently hold world record efficiencies, both for single and multijunction cells, it would be transformative to develop a material that has similar properties to the III-V's which is also lattice matched to silicon. The II-IV-V-2 chalcopyrites are a promising class of materials that could satisfy these criteria. ZnSiP2 in particular is known to have a bandgap of similar to 2 eV, a lattice mismatch with silicon of 0.5%, and is earth abundant. Its direct bandgap is symmetry-forbidden. We have grown single crystals of ZnSiP2 by a flux growth technique. Structure and phase purity have been confirmed by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Optical measurements, along with a calculation of the absorption spectrum, confirm the similar to 2 eV bandgap. Because of its structural similarity to both crystalline silicon and the III-V's, ZnSiP2 is expected to have good optoelectronic performance.

AB To test reproducibility of a technical specification under development for potential-induced degradation (PID) and polarization, three crystalline silicon module types were distributed in five replicas each to five laboratories. Stress tests were performed in environmental chambers at 60 degrees C, 85% relative humidity, 96 h, and with module nameplate system voltage applied. Results from the modules tested indicate that the test protocol can discern susceptibility to PID according to the pass/fail criteria with acceptable consistency fromlab to lab; however, areas for improvement are indicated to achieve better uniformity in temperature and humidity on the module surfaces. In the analysis of variance of the results, 6% of the variance was attributed to laboratory influence, 34% to module design, and 60% to variability in test results within a given design. Testing with the additional factor of illumination with ultraviolet light slowed or arrested the degradation. Testing at 25 degrees C with aluminum foil as the module ground was also examined for comparison. The foil, as tested, did not itself achieve consistent contact to ground at all surfaces, but methods to ensure more consistent grounding were found and proposed. The rates of degradation in each test are compared, and details affecting the rates are discussed.

AB In order to reliably simulate the energy yield of photovoltaic (PV) systems, it is necessary to have an accurate model of how the PV modules perform with respect to irradiance and cell temperature. Building on a previous study that addresses the irradiance dependence, two approaches to fit the temperature dependence of module power in PVsyst have been developed and are applied here to recent multi-irradiance and temperature data for a standard Yingli Solar PV module type. The results demonstrate that it is possible to match the measured irradiance and temperature dependence of PV modules in PVsyst. Improvements in energy yield prediction using the optimized models relative to the PVsyst standard model are considered significant for decisions about project financing.

AB This paper presents performance data from nearly 50 000 photovoltaic systems totaling 1.7 GW of capacity installed in the USA from 2009 to 2012. Most systems without reported issues, about 90%, produced greater than 90% of the electricity predicted before installation. The data were shown to be consistent with the assumption of historical degradation rates of about 0.5% per year; excessive degradation rates such as 2% or 3% per year were not observed. Large systems showed an insolation-adjusted yield that was about 4% higher than smaller systems. Only 2-4% of the data indicated issues significantly affecting system performance. Delays and interconnections dominate project-related issues particularly in the first year, but were reported in less than 0.5% of all systems. Hardware-related issues are dominated by inverter problems as reported for less than 0.4% and underperforming modules for less than 0.1%.

AB In this study, we develop an approach to characterize the surface and bulk properties for thin films of photovoltaic materials by combining two experimental photoluminescence (PL) techniques with one multiphysics simulation. This contactless, in-line characterization technique allows reliable extraction of key lifetime parameters. In this study, we first discuss the strengths and weaknesses of both steady-state and transient PL techniques (specifically, steady-state PL excitation spectroscopy and time-resolved PL) and show that combining them with numerical simulation can be used to extract surface and bulk lifetimes self consistently. The method is applied to InP thin films grown with a novel vapor-liquid-solid method. The InP thin film tested is found to have a bulk Shockley-Read-Hall (SRH) lifetime of 12 ns and a front surface recombination velocity of 5 x 10(4) cm/s.

AB Reversible performance changes due to light exposure frustrate repeatable performance measurements on CdTe photovoltaic modules. It is common to use extended light exposure to ensure that measurements are representative of outdoor performance. We quantify the extent to which such a light-exposed state depends on module temperature and consider voltage bias in the dark to aid in stabilization. We evaluate the use of dark forward voltage bias to bring about a performance state equivalent to that obtained with light exposure, as well as to maintain a light-exposed state prior to standard test condition (STC) performance measurement. Our results indicate that the most promising method for measuring a light-exposed state is to use light exposure at controlled temperature followed by prompt STC measurement with a repeatable time interval between exposure and the STC measurement.

AB Efforts to ensure reliable operation of existing low-voltage distribution systems with high photovoltaic (PV) generation have focused on the possibility of inverters providing ancillary services such as active power curtailment and reactive power compensation. Major benefits include the possibility of averting overvoltages, which may otherwise be experienced when PV generation exceeds the demand. This paper deals with ancillary service procurement in the face of solar irradiance forecasting errors. In particular, assuming that forecasted PV irradiance can be described by a random variable with known (empirical) distribution, the proposed uncertainty-aware optimal inverter dispatch (OID) framework indicates which inverters should provide ancillary services with a guaranteed a priori risk level of PV generation surplus. To capture forecasting errors and strike a balance between risk of overvoltages and (re) active power reserves, the concept of conditional value-at-risk is advocated. Due to AC power balance equations and binary inverter selection variables, the formulated OID involves the solution of a nonconvex mixed-integer nonlinear program. However, a computationally affordable convex relaxation is derived by leveraging sparsity-promoting regularization approaches and semidefinite relaxation techniques.

By using two-photon excitation time-resolved photoluminescence, we determined a room-temperature minority-carrier lifetime of 360 ns. This lifetime has weak temperature dependence at 202-295 K. We also show that the high surface recombination velocity (> 10(5) cm/s) typical for single-crystal CdTe was reduced by an order of magnitude to approximate to 1 x 10(4) cm/s.

AB Secondary phase segregation is hypothesized to have detrimental impacts on Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin-film solar cells. In this study, we demonstrate the potential of using kinetic stabilization to inhibit phase decomposition in CZTS. By growing CZTS films at low temperature, we achieve a kinetically stabilized alloy with an expanded solid solution window in the pseudoternary CuSZnS-SnS phase diagram. Using X-ray absorption spectroscopy, we study the structural evolution and stability of this metastable alloy upon annealing. For near-stoichiometric samples, we observe a continuous emergence of short-range order toward crystalline CZTS that is nearly complete after a 1-min anneal at 450 degrees C. For Zn-rich samples, we detect precipitation of ZnS upon annealing, which suggests that the excess Zn exists as cation antisite defects in metastable CZTS.

AB Low open-circuit voltages (850-870 mV), due to excessive bulk and surface recombination, currently limit CdTe photovoltaic efficiencies. Here, we study surface recombination in single crystals with single-photon excitation time-resolved photoluminescence (1PE-TRPL) to measure minority carrier lifetimes. Typically, minority carrier lifetimes of untreated undoped CdTe material as measured by 1PE-TRPL are similar to 100 ps or less, even though their bulk lifetimes as measured by two-photon excitation TRPL can reach 100 ns. Such short 1PE-TRPL lifetimes indicate very high surface recombination velocities exceeding 100 000 cm/s. Here, we examine treatments that can reduce surface recombination and discuss different ways of evaluating their efficacy.

AB Nonradiative recombination in inverted GaInP junctions is dramatically reduced using a rear-heterojunction design rather than the more traditional thin-emitter homojunction design. When this GaInP junction design is included in inverted multijunction solar cells, the high radiative efficiency translates into both higher subcell voltage and high luminescence coupling to underlying subcells, both of which contribute to improved performance. Subcell voltages within two and four junction devices are measured by electroluminescence and the internal radiative efficiency is quantified as a function of recombination current using optical modeling. The performance of these concentrator multijunction devices is compared with the Shockley-Queisser detailed-balance radiative limit, as well as an internal radiative limit, which considers the effects of the actual optical environment in which a perfect junction may exist.

DE Metamorphic; multijunction; III-V
ID MULTIJUNCTION SOLAR-CELLS; EFFICIENCY
AB We present results for quadruple-junction inverted metamorphic (4J-IMM) devices under the concentrated direct spectrum and analyze the present limitations to performance. The devices integrate lattice-matched subcells with rear heterojunctions, as well as lattice-mismatched subcells with low threading dislocation density. To interconnect the subcells, thermally stable lattice-matched tunnel junctions are used, as well as a metamorphic GaAsSb/GaInAs tunnel junction between the lattice-mismatched subcells. A broadband antireflection coating is used, as well as a front metal grid designed for high concentration operation. The best device has a peak efficiency of (43.8 +/- 2.2)% at 327-sun concentration, as measured with a spectrally adjustable flash simulator, and maintains an efficiency of (42.9 +/- 2.1)% at 869 suns, which is the highest concentration measured. The V-oc increases from 3.445 V at 1-sun to 4.10 V at 327-sun concentration, which indicates high material quality in all of the subcells. The subcell voltages are analyzed using optical modeling, and the present device limitations and pathways to improvement are discussed. Although further improvements are possible, the 4J-IMM structure is clearly capable of very high efficiency at concentration, despite the complications arising from utilizing lattice-mismatched subcells.

AB The variability of the solar spectra in the fieldmay reduce the annual energy yield of multijunction solar cells. It would, therefore, be desirable to implement a cell design procedure based on the maximization of the annual energy yield. In this study, we present a measurement technique to generate maps of the real performance of the solar cell for a range of light spectrum contents using a solar simulator with a computer-controllable spectral content. These performance maps are demonstrated to be a powerful tool for analyzing the characteristics of any given set of annual spectra representative of a site and their influence on the energy yield of any solar cell. The effect of luminescence coupling on buffering against variations of the spectrum and improving the annual energy yield is demonstrated using this method.

AB In this paper, we propose and validate an algorithm of extracting voxel-by-voxel time activity curves directly from inconsistent projections applied in dynamic cardiac SPECT. The algorithm was derived based on factor analysis of dynamic structures (FADS) approach and imposes prior information by applying several regularization functions with adaptively changing relative weighting. The anatomical information of the imaged subject was used to apply the proposed regularization functions adaptively in the spatial domain. The algorithm performance is validated by reconstructing dynamic datasets simulated using the NCAT phantom with a range of different input tissue time-activity curves. The results are compared to the spline-based and FADS methods. The validated algorithm is then applied to reconstruct pre-clinical cardiac SPECT data from canine and murine subjects. Images, generated from both simulated and experimentally acquired data confirm the ability of the new algorithm to solve the inverse problem of dynamic SPECT with slow gantry rotation.

AB The power grid is becoming more dependent on information and communication technologies. Complex networks of advanced sensors such as phasor measurement units (PMUs) are used to collect real time data to improve the observability of the power system. Recent studies have shown that the power grid has significant cyber vulnerabilities which could increase when PMUs are used extensively. Therefore, recognizing and responding to vulnerabilities are critical to the security of the power grid. This paper proposes a risk mitigation model for optimal response to cyber-attacks to PMU networks. We model the optimal response action as a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) problem to prevent propagation of the cyber-attacks and maintain the observability of the power system.

AB This paper develops a self-coherence method for detecting sustained oscillations using phasor measurement unit (PMU) data. Sustained oscillations decrease system performance and introduce potential reliability issues. Timely detection of the oscillations at an early stage provides the opportunity for taking remedial reaction. Using high-speed time-synchronized PMU data, this paper details a self-coherence method for detecting sustained oscillation, even when the oscillation amplitude is lower than ambient noise. Simulation and field measurement data are used to evaluate the proposed method's performance. It is shown that the proposed method can detect sustained oscillations and estimate oscillation frequencies with a low signal-to-noise ratio. Comparison with a power spectral density method also shows that the proposed self-coherence method performs better.

AB We report a scalable manufacturing approach to produce nano-porous metal oxide films and the dopant variants using a block-copolymer template combined with a sol-gel solution processing approach. The refractive index of the film can be tailored to 1.2-2.4 by 3D nanostructuring in the sub-wavelength regime at scales of 20 nm or less. Based on this approach, this paper reports the synthesis of nanoporous palladium (Pd)-doped titanium dioxide (TiO2) film with refractive index matching the optical fiber material, and its importance on D-shaped fiber Bragg grating for hydrogen sensing at extremely high temperature up to 700A degrees C. The sensor is based on evanescent field interaction in hydrogen-sensitive cladding. The flat side of D-shaped fiber grating was etched to remove a residual 4 mu m cladding material, and thermally stabilized for high-temperature requirements. The peak intensity change of the fiber Bragg wavelength was observed with different hydrogen concentrations from 0.25 vol.% H-2/N-2 to 5 vol.% H-2/N-2. The experimental result shows that the sensor's hydrogen response is reversible and fast. The response time of the hydrogen sensor is < 8 s.

AB Increasing the efficiency of natural gas reciprocating engines will require materials with better mechanical and corrosion resistance at high temperatures. One solution to increase the lifetime of exhaust valves is to apply an aluminide coating to prevent corrosion assisted fatigue cracking, but the impact of the coating on the valve material mechanical properties needs to be assessed. In addition to cyclic oxidation testing in dry and humid air at 800A degrees C, creep and high cycle fatigue (HCF) testing were conducted at 816A degrees C on bare and slurry or pack-coated 31V alloy. The coated and bare creep specimens exhibited very similar creep rupture lives, as long as the specimens were annealed according to the 31V standard heat treatment before testing. The HCF behavior of the pack-coated alloy was close to the behavior of the bare alloy, but fatigue lifetimes of slurry-coated 31V specimens had higher variability. Aluminide coatings have the potential to improve the valve performance at high temperature, but the coating deposition process needs to be tailored for the substrate standard heat treatment.

AB This article highlights the need for an active role for building physics in the development of near-zero energy buildings while analyzing an example of an integrated system for the upgrade of existing buildings. The science called either Building Physics in Europe or Building Science in North America has so far a passive role in explaining observed failures in construction practice. In its new role, it would be integrating modeling and testing to provide predictive capability, so much needed in the development of near-zero energy buildings. The authors attempt to create a compact package, applicable to different climates with small modifications of some hygrothermal properties of materials. This universal solution is based on a systems approach that is routine for building physics but in contrast to separately conceived sub-systems that are typical for the design of buildings today. One knows that the building structure, energy efficiency, indoor environmental quality, and moisture management all need to be considered to ensure durability of materials and control cost of near-zero energy buildings. These factors must be addressed through contributions of the whole design team. The same approach must be used for the retrofit of buildings. As this integrated design paradigm resulted from demands of sustainable built environment approach, building physics must drop its passive role and improve two critical domains of analysis: (i) linked, real-time hygrothermal and energy models capable of predicting the performance of existing buildings after renovation and (ii) basic methods of indoor environment and moisture management when the exterior of the building cannot be modified.

AB A template- and surfactant-free strategy is developed to prepare a hollow structured Co2FeO4/MWCNT electrocatalyst, which has been successfully used as a highly efficient non-precious metal electrocatalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in alkaline media. The hollow structured Co2FeO4 particles are transformed from solid Co2Fe nanoparticles via the Kirkendall effect, which increases their active sites and improves the contact between the electrolyte and catalyst surfaces and then enhances the electrocatalytic activity. Furthermore, the hollow structured Co2FeO4/MWCNT exhibits excellent Long term stability and high methanol tolerance compared to commercial Pt/C. The hollow structured Co2FeO4/MWCNT electrocatalysts synthesized herein are promising electrode materials for fuel cell applications and the facile synthesis method could be used in low-cost and Large-scale materials production, facilitating the screening of high efficiency catalysts.

AB Amine-functionalized siloxane oligomers were synthesized and used successfully to prepare colloidal Au particles smaller than 1 nm. Using NMR to follow the interaction of Au(THT)Cl with the functionalized siloxane, it was determined that the amine ligands displaced the THT ligand effectively. By comparison with other functionalized siloxane oligomers/compound, parameters such as density of ligating groups, oligomer steric barrier and reduction rates were found to be essential for the formation and stability of subnanometer Au particles. Without further treatment, the formed Au particles were active catalysts for the reduction of p-nitrobenzaldehyde by triethylsilane, forming an imine as the major coupling product. Deposition of the Au colloids onto silica, followed by thermal treatment to remove the organic groups resulted in subnanometer Au on silica, indicating this to be a promising method of fabricating subnanometer supported Au catalyst.

AB We report the synthesis and characterization of three series of new quaternary strontium europium aluminate (Sr-Eu-Al-O; SEAO) luminescent nanoribbons that show blue, green, and yellow luminescence from localized Eu2+ luminescent centers. These three series of SEAO nanoribbons are: blue luminescent, tetragonal Sr1-xEuxAl6O10 (0 < x < 1) (b-SEAO), green luminescent, monoclinic Sr1-xEuxAl2O4 (0 < x < 1) (g-SEAO), and yellow luminescent, hexagonal Sr1-xEuxAl2O4 (0 < x < 1) (y-SEAO). Among these three series of SEAO nanoribbons, the b-SEAOs and y-SEAOs are new compounds that have not been reported before. The crystal structures of the SEAO nanoribbons were comprehensively studied using various synchrotron X-ray diffraction techniques and the effects of crystal structures on materials' luminescence properties were investigated. These one-dimensional SEAO luminescent nanoribbons can function as both light generators and waveguides, and thus have promising potential as the building blocks in miniaturized photonic circuitry.

AB Liquids in the system Y2O3- Al2O3 have been the subject of considerable study because of the reported occurrence of a first-order density and entropy-driven liquid-liquid phase transition (LLPT) in the supercooled liquid state. The observations have become controversial because of the presence of crystalline material that can be formed simultaneously and that can mask the nucleation and growth of the lower density liquid. The previous work is summarized here along with arguments for and against the different viewpoints. Also two studies have been undertaken to investigate the LLPT in this refractory system with emphasis on determining the structure of unequivocally amorphous materials. These include the in situ high energy X-ray diffraction (HEXRD) of supercooled Y2O3 - Al2O3 liquids and the low frequency vibrational dynamics of recovered glasses. Manybody molecular dynamics simulations are also used to interpret the results of both studies. The HEXRD measurements, combined with aerodynamic levitation and rapid data acquisition techniques, show that for the 20 mol% Y2O3 (i.e. AlY20) liquid there is a shift in the position of the first peak in the diffraction pattern over a narrow temperature range (2100-1800 K) prior to crystallization. Microbeam Raman spectroscopy measurements made on AlY20 glasses clearly show contrasting spectra in the low frequency part of the spectrum for low(LDA) and high-density (HDA) glassy regions. The molecular dynamics simulations identify contrasting coordination environments around oxygen anions for the high- (HDL) and low-density (LDL) liquids. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB Here we report the first structural and dynamic investigation on ethylammonium nitrate, a representative protic Ionic liquid, and dimethylsulfoxide. By using joined x/ray and neutron diffraction, we exploit the EPSR approach to extract structural information at atomistic level. EAN/DMSO turns out to be homogeneous at microscopic scales and indications for the existence of a structural leit motiv with stoichiometric composition 2DMSO:1EAN are found. Dielectric spectroscopy is used to access the relaxation map of the DMSO:EAN = 60:40 mixture. No crystallisation is detected and three relaxation processes could be characterised. Overall this study provides new indications of strict analogies between water and ethylammonium nitrate. (c) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB Extended frequency range depolarized light scattering is a spectroscopic technique operating in the GHz-THz range that, applied to aqueous solutions of biomolecules, is able to disentangle the dynamics of the solute from that of water, and relaxation processes of bulk from those of hydration water. Experiments performed on aqueous solution of a variety of biological systems of different nature, such as small hydrophobic and hydrophilic molecules, amino acids, dipeptides, and proteins, have shown that a significant increase in the dynamical retardation and in the extent of the perturbation of water surrounding solute molecules occurs at increasing chemical complexity of the solute. The behavior of aqueous solutions of lysozyme is here analyzed in detail, as a function of solute concentration. Our results provide evidence of a dynamical perturbation extending over more than three water layers in diluted solutions. We find a strong reduction in the average hydration number at increasing solute concentration that cannot be explained by the random superposition of hydration layers among lysozyme molecules in close proximity. This behavior is consistent with the formation of clusters in solution. (c) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB We present detailed dielectric spectroscopy studies of dynamics in two hydrated proteins, lysozyme and myoglobin. We emphasize the importance of explicit account for possible Maxwell-Wagner (MW) polarization effects in protein powder samples. Combining our data with earlier literature results, we demonstrate the existence of three major relaxation processes in globular proteins. To understand the mechanisms of these relaxations we involve literature data on neutron scattering, simulations and NMR studies. The faster process is ascribed to coupled protein-hydration water motions and has relaxation time similar to 10-50 Ps at room temperature. The intermediate process is similar to 10(2)-10(3) times slower than the faster process and might be strongly affected by MW polarizations. Based on the analysis of data obtained by different experimental techniques and simulations, we ascribe this process to large scale domain-like motions of proteins. The slowest observed process is similar to 10(6)-10(7) times slower than the faster process and has anomalously large dielectric amplitude Delta epsilon similar to 10(2)-10(4). The microscopic nature of this process is not clear, but it seems to be related to the glass transition of hydrated proteins. The presentedresults suggest a general classification of the relaxation processes in hydrated proteins. (c) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

TI Defect structures induced by high-energy displacement cascades in gamma
uranium

DT Article
ID EMBEDDED-ATOM METHOD; IMPURITIES; POTENTIALS; METALS; DAMAGE; IRON; FUEL
AB Displacement cascade simulations were conducted for the gamma uranium system based on molecular dynamics. A recently developed modified embedded atom method (MEAM) potential was employed to replicate the atomic interactions while an embedded atom method (EAM) potential was adopted to help characterize the defect structures induced by the displacement cascades. The atomic displacement process was studied by providing primary knock-on atoms (PKAs) with kinetic energies from 1 key to 50 keV. The influence of the PKA incident direction was examined. The defect structures were analyzed after the systems were fully relaxed. The states of the self-interstitial atoms (SlAs) were categorized into various types of dumbbells, the crowdion, and the octahedral interstitial. The voids were determined to have a polyhedral shape with {110) facets. The size distribution of the voids was also obtained. The results of this study not only expand the knowledge of the microstructural evolution in irradiated gamma uranium, but also provide valuable references for the radiation-induced defects in uranium alloy fuels.

Data from these tests will be used to support the fabrication of components intended for isotope-producing targets and provide information regarding the temperature and pressure dependence of oxidation and hydrogen absorption of Zr4 over the specified range of test conditions.

AB Phases and microstructures in the matrix of an as-cast U-Pu-Zr alloy with 3 wt% Am, 2% Np, and 8% rare-earth elements were characterized by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The matrix consists primarily of two phases, both of which contain Am: zeta-(U, Np, Pu, Am) (similar to 70 at.% U, 5% Np, 14% Pu, 1% Am, and 10% Zr) and delta-(U, Np, Pu, Am)Zr-2 (similar to 25% U, 2% Np, 10-15% Pu, 1-2% Am, and 55-60 at.% Zr). These phases are similar to those in U-Pu-Zr alloys, although the Zr content in zeta-(U, Np, Pu, Am) is higher than that in zeta-(U, Pu) and the Zr content in delta-(U, Np, Put Am)Zr-2 is lower than that in delta-UZr2. Nanocrystalline actinide oxides with structures similar to UO2 occurred in some areas, but may have formed by reactions with the atmosphere during sample handling.
Planar features consisting of a central zone of zeta-(U, Np, Pu, Am) bracketed by zones of delta-(U, Np, Pu, Am)Zr-2 bound irregular polygons ranging in size from a few micrometers to a few tens of micrometers across. The rest of the matrix consists of elongated domains of Np, Pu, Am) and delta-(U, Np, Pu, Am)Zr-2. Each of these domains is a few tens of nanometers across and a few hundred nanometers long. The domains display strong preferred orientations involving areas a few hundred nanometers to a few micrometers across. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB In situ and ex situ transmission electron microscopy observation of small Kr bubbles in both single-crystal and polycrystalline UO2 were conducted to understand the inert gas bubble behavior in oxide nuclear fuel. The bubble size and volume swelling are shown as weak functions of ion dose but strongly depend on the temperature. The Kr bubble formation at room temperature was observed for the first time. The depth profiles of implanted Kr determined by atom probe tomography are in good agreement with the calculated profiles by SRIM, but the measured concentration of Kr is about 1/4 of the calculated concentration. This difference is mainly due to low solubility of Kr in UO2 matrix and high release of Kr from sample surface under irradiation. Published by Elsevier B.V.

AB The CALPHAD methodology was used to develop a thermodynamic assessment of the U-La-O system. The solid solution and liquid phases are described with the compound energy formalism (CEF) and the partially ionic two-sublattice liquid model, respectively. Experimental thermodynamic and phase equilibria data published in the open literature were then used in optimizations to develop representations of the phases in the system that can be extended to include other actinide and fission products for multi-component models. The models that comprise this assessment very well reproduce experimentally determined oxygen potentials and the observed phase relations for the U-La-O system. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.

CONDUCTIVITY; POROSITY; HELIUM; BEHAVIOR; CODE; IRRADIATION
AB The thermal conductivities of UO2 single crystals containing nanoscale size pores and He gas bubbles are calculated using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics as a function of pore size and gas density in the bubble. As expected, the thermal conductivity decreases as pore size increases, while the decrease in thermal conductivity is determined to be more substantial than the predictions of traditional analytical models by Loeb and Maxwell-Eucken. However, the recent model of Alvarez, which is applicable when the phonon mean-free path is comparable to the pore size, is able to quantitatively reproduce the simulation results. The thermal conductivity of UO2 of the small pores considered here is reduced further when the pore is filled with He gas. This surprising result is due to the penetration of the helium atoms into the lattice where they act as phonon scattering centers. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB SiC is a promising material for nuclear applications and is a critical component in the construction of tri-structural isotropic (TRISO) fuel. A primary issue with TRISO fuel operation is the observed release of Ag-110m from intact fuel particles. The release of Ag has prompted research efforts to directly measure the transport mechanism of Ag in bulk SiC. Recent experimental efforts have focused primarily on Ag ion implantation designs. The effect of the thermal exposure system on the ion implantation surface has been investigated. Results indicate the utilization of a mated sample geometry and the establishment of a static thermal exposure environment is critical to maintaining an intact surface for diffusion analysis. The nature of the implantation surface and its potential role in Ag diffusion analysis are discussed. Published by Elsevier B.V.

AB We study the effects of radiation damage on interdiffusion and intermetallic phase formation at the interfaces of U/Fe, U/(Fe + Cr), and U/(Fe + Cr + Ni) diffusion couples. Magnetron sputtering is used to deposit thin films of Fe, Fe + Cr, or Fe + Cr + Ni on U substrates to form the diffusion couples. One set of samples are thermally annealed under high vacuum at 450 degrees C or 550 degrees C for one hour. A second set of samples are annealed identically but with concurrent 3.5 MeV Fe++ ion irradiation. The Fe++ ion penetration depth is sufficient to reach the original interfaces. Rutherford backscattering spectrometry analysis with high fidelity spectral simulations is used to obtain interdiffusion profiles, which are used to examine differences in U diffusion and intermetallic phase formation at the buried interfaces. For all three diffusion systems, Fe++ ion irradiations enhance U diffusion. Furthermore, the irradiations accelerate the formation of intermetallic phases. In U/Fe couples, for example, the unirradiated samples show typical interdiffusion governed by Fick's laws, while the irradiated ones show step-like profiles influenced by Gibbs phase rules.

AB Development of monolithic U-Mo alloy fuel (typically U-10 wt.%Mo) for the Reduced Enrichment for Research and Test Reactors (RERTR) program entails a use of Zr diffusion barrier to eliminate the interdiffusion-reactions between the fuel alloy and Al-alloy cladding. The application of Zr barrier to the U-Mo fuel system requires a co-rolling process that utilizes a soaking temperature of 650 degrees C, which represents the highest temperature the fuel system is exposed to during both fuel manufacturing and reactor application. Therefore, in this study, development of phase constituents, microstructure and diffusion kinetics of U-10 wt.%Mo and Zr was examined using solid-to-solid diffusion couples annealed at 650 degrees C for 240, 480 and 720 h. Phase constituents and microstructural development were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Concentration profiles were mapped as diffusion paths on the isothermal ternary phase diagram. Within the diffusion zone, single-phase layers of beta-Zr and beta-U were observed along with a discontinuous layer of Mo2Zr between the beta-Zr and beta-U layers. In the vicinity of Mo2Zr phase, islands of alpha-Zr phases were also found. In addition, acicular alpha-Zr and U6Zr3Mo phases were observed within the gamma-U(Mo) terminal alloy. Growth rate of the interdiffusion-reaction zone was determined to be 7.75 (+/- 5.84) x 10(-16) m(2)/s at 650 degrees C, however with an assumption of a certain incubation period.

AB The role of uncertainties in fission gas behavior calculations as part of engineering-scale nuclear fuel modeling is investigated using the BISON fuel performance code with a recently implemented physics-based model for fission gas release and swelling. Through the integration of BISON with the DAKOTA software, a sensitivity analysis of the results to selected model parameters is carried out based on UO2 single-pellet simulations covering different power regimes. The parameters are varied within ranges representative of the relative uncertainties and consistent with the information in the open literature. The study leads to an initial quantitative assessment of the uncertainty in fission gas behavior predictions with the parameter characterization presently available. Also, the relative importance of the single parameters is evaluated. Moreover, a sensitivity analysis is carried out based on simulations of a fuel rod irradiation experiment, pointing out a significant impact of the considered uncertainties on the calculated fission gas release and cladding diametral strain. The results of the study indicate that the commonly accepted deviation between calculated and measured fission gas release by a factor of 2 approximately corresponds to the inherent modeling uncertainty at high fission gas release. Nevertheless, significantly higher deviations may be expected for values around 10% and lower. Implications are discussed in terms of directions of research for the improved modeling of fission gas behavior for engineering purposes. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB Possible use of U3Si5 as a nuclear reactor fuel requires knowledge of its thermophysical properties as a function of temperature. While limited data is available for U Si compounds containing higher uranium densities, no investigations of U3Si5 have been presented in the literature to date. High purity U3Si5 was fabricated to facilitate a set of experiments to determine the coefficient of thermal expansion, heat capacity, thermal diffusivity, and thermal conductivity from room temperature to 1773 K. Each measurement on nearly stoichiometric U3Si5 showed the existence of a phase transformation at 723 K, which is not consistent with the most recently published phase diagram. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.

TI Diversification of Mo-99/Tc-99m Separation: Non-Fission Reactor
Production of Mo-99 as a Strategy for Enhancing Tc-99m Availability
SO JOURNAL OF NUCLEAR MEDICINE
LA English
DT Article
DE Mo-99; Tc-99m; fission moly; reactor production; cyclotron production
AB This paper discusses the benefits of obtaining Tc-99m from non-fission reactor-produced low-specific-activity Mo-99. This scenario is based on establishing a diversified chain of facilities for the distribution of (99)mTc separated from reactor-produced Mo-99 by (n,Y) activation of natural or enriched Mo. Such facilities have expected lower investments than required for the proposed chain of cyclotrons for the production of (99)mTc. Facilities can receive and process reactor-irradiated Mo targets then used for extraction of (99)mTc over a period of 2 wk, with 3 extractions on the same day. Estimates suggest that a center receiving 1.85 TBq (50 Ci) of Mo-99 once every 4 d can provide 1.48-3.33 TBq (40-90 Ci) of (99)mTc daily. This model can use research reactors operating in the United States to supply current Mo-99 needs by applying natural Mo-nat targets. Mo-99 production capacity can be enhanced by using Mo-98-enriched targets. The proposed model reduces the loss of Mo-99 by decay and avoids proliferation as well as waste management issues associated with fission-produced Mo-99.

A spectrum with a photon energy resolution of 15 meV normalized to absolute cross-section measurements is presented. The measurements were carried out by merging a Cl+ ion beam with a photon beam of highly monochromatic synchrotron radiation at the Advanced Light Source at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The measured photoionization of Cl+ consists of several autoionization resonances surperimposed on the direct photoionization signal. Most of the prominent resonances are assigned to members of Rydberg series originating from the singlet ground state and from metastable triplet levels within the ground-state configuration of Cl+.

AB The dugganites, Te6+-containing members of the langasite series, have attracted recent interest due to their complex low-temperature magnetic unit cells, magnetodielectric, and potentially multiferroic properties. For Pb2+-containing dugganites, a large monoclinic supercell was reported and was found to have a profound effect on the low temperature magnetism and spin excitation spectra. Pb3TeMn3P2O14 is another dugganite previously shown to distort away from the canonical P321 langasite unit cell, although this supercell was never fully solved. Here we report the full crystal and magnetic structure solution of Pb3TeMn3P2O14 using synchrotron x-ray and neutron diffraction data: a large trigonal supercell is observed in this material, which is believed to be the first supercell of its kind in the langasite family. Here, the magnetic structure, high-magnetic field behavior, and dielectric properties of Pb3TeMn3P2O14 are presented. In addition to showing weak magnetoelectric behavior similar to other langasites, it was found that a phase transition occurs at 3 T near the antiferromagnetic transition temperature.

AB Colorless crystals of ThSiO4 (huttonite) (1) and (Ca0.5Na0.5)(2)NaThSi8O20 (2) have been synthesized by the solid-state reactions of ThO2, CaSiO3, and Na2WO4 at 1073 K. Green crystals of (Ca0.5Na0.5)(2)NaUSi8O20 (3) have been synthesized by the solid-state reactions of UO2, CaSiO3, and Na2WO4 at 1003 K. All three compounds have been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 adopts a monazite-type three-dimensional condensed structure, which is built from edge- and corner-shared ThO9 polyhedra and SiO4 tetrahedra. Compounds 2 and 3 are isostructural and they crystallize in a steacyite-type structure. The structure consists of discrete pseudocubic [Si8O20](8-) polyanions, which are connected by An(4+) cations into a three-dimensional framework. Each An atom coordinates to eight monodentate [Si8O20](8-) moieties in a square antiprismatic geometry. Na+ and Ca2+ ions reside in the void within the framework. Raman spectra of 1, 2, and 3 were collected on single crystal samples. 1 displays more complex vibrational bands than thorite. Raman spectra of 2 and 3 are analogous with most of vibrational bands located at almost the same regions. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

AB Using a high-speed camera and an intensified charge-coupled device (ICCD), a simultaneous X-ray imaging and diffraction technique has been developed for studying dynamic material behaviors during high-rate tensile loading. A Kolsky tension bar has been used to pull samples at 1000 s(-1) and 5000 s(-1) strain-rates for super-elastic equiatomic NiTi and 1100-O series aluminium, respectively. By altering the ICCD gating time, temporal resolutions of 100 ps and 3.37 mu s have been achieved in capturing the diffraction patterns of interest, thus equating to single-pulse and 22-pulse X-ray exposure. Furthermore, the sample through-thickness deformation process has been simultaneously imaged via phase-contrast imaging. It is also shown that adequate signal-to-noise ratios are achieved for the detected white-beam diffraction patterns, thereby allowing sufficient information to perform quantitative data analysis diffraction via in-house software (WBXRD_GUI). Of current interest is the ability to evaluate crystal d-spacing, texture evolution and material phase transitions, all of which will be established from experiments performed at the aforementioned elevated strain-rates.

AB A series of Ni dithiolene complexes Ni[S2C2(CF3)](2)(n) (n = -2, -1, 0) (1, 2, 3) and a 1-hexene adduct Ni[S2C2(CF3)(2)](2)(C6H12) (4) have been examined by Ni Kedge X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) and extended X-ray absorption fine-structure (EXAFS) spectroscopies. Ni XANES for 1-3 reveals clear pre-edge features and approximately +0.7 eV shift in the Ni K-edge position for 'one-electron' oxidation. EXAFS simulation shows that the Ni-S bond distances for 1, 2 and 3 (2.11-2.16 angstrom) are within the typical values for square planar complexes and decrease by similar to 0.022 angstrom for each 'one-electron' oxidation. The changes in Ni K-edge energy positions and Ni-S distances are consistent with the 'non-innocent' character of the dithiolene ligand. The Ni-C interactions at similar to 3.0 angstrom are analyzed and the multiple-scattering parameters are also determined, leading to a better simulation for the overall EXAFS spectra. The 1-hexene adduct 4 presents no pre-edge feature, and its Ni K-edge position shifts by -0.8 eV in comparison with its starting dithiolene complex 3. Consistently, EXAFS also showed that the Ni-S distances in 4 elongate by similar to 0.046 angstrom in comparison with 3. The evidence confirms that the neutral complex is 'reduced' upon addition of olefin, presumably by olefin donating the pi-electron density to the LUMO of 3 as suggested by UV/visible spectroscopy in the literature.

AB A practical method for operating existing undulator synchrotron beamlines at photon energies considerably higher than their standard operating range is described and applied at beamline 19-ID of the Structural Biology Center at the Advanced Photon Source enabling operation at 30 keV. Adjustments to the undulator spectrum were critical to enhance the 30 keV flux while reducing the lower-and higher-energy harmonic contamination. A Pd-coated mirror and Al attenuators acted as effective low-and high-bandpass filters. The resulting flux at 30 keV, although significantly lower than with X-ray optics designed and optimized for this energy, allowed for accurate data collection on crystals of the small protein crambin to 0.38 angstrom resolution.

AB The accuracy in modeling coupled processes in a clay/shale repository is largely determined by the validity of the constitutive relationships and related parameter values. As an attempt to more accurately model the Excavation Damaged Zone (EDZ) formation and associated hydromechanical behavior induced by excavation in clay/shale, a recently developed stress-strain relationship (a twopart Hooke's model, abbreviated as TPHM) and associated formulations regarding rock hydraulic/mechanical properties were incorporated and implemented in FLAC3D in detail. TPHM is based on a macroscopic-scale approximation using a natural-strainbased Hooke's law to describe elastic deformation for a fraction of pores subject to a large degree of deformation; an engineeringstrain-based Hooke's law is used for the other part. The usefulness and validity of the TPHM and associated formulations are demonstrated by the consistency between simulation results and field observations from the ED-B tunnel at the Mont Terri site. The simulation results, which are sensitive to the constitutive relationships used in the model, capture both the observed displacements and the size of the damage zone, whereas the approach based on the conventional Hooke's law underestimates both. The fracture modeling provide insight into the evolution of fractured zone that are impossible to be observed in field and are difficult to be considered with static stress analysis approaches.

AB Nearly a century ago it was recognized(1) that radiation absorption by stellar matter controls the internal temperature profiles within stars. Laboratory opacity measurements, however, have never been performed at stellar interior conditions, introducing uncertainties in stellar models(2-5). A particular problem arose(2,3,6-8) when refined photosphere spectral analysis(9,10) led to reductions of 30-50 per cent in the inferred amounts of carbon, nitrogen and oxygen in the Sun. Standard solar models(11) using the revised element abundances disagree with helioseismic observations that determine the internal solar structure using acoustic oscillations. This could be resolved if the true mean opacity for the solar interior matter were roughly 15 per cent higher than predicted(2,3,6-8), because increased opacity compensates for the decreased element abundances. Iron accounts for a quarter of the total opacity(2,12) at the solar radiation/convection zone boundary. Here we report measurements of wavelength-resolved iron opacity at electron temperatures of 1.9-2.3 million kelvin and electron densities of (0.7-4.0) x 10(22) per cubic centimetre, conditions very similar to those in the solar region that affects the discrepancy the most: the radiation/convection zone boundary. The measured wavelength-dependent opacity is 30-400 per cent higher than predicted. This represents roughly half the change in the mean opacity needed to resolve the solar discrepancy, even though iron is only one of many elements that contribute to opacity.

AB Radiogenic He-4 is produced by the decay of uranium and thorium in the Earths mantle and crust. From here, it is degassed to the atmosphere(1-5) and eventually escapes to space(1,5,6). Assuming that all of the He-4 produced is degassed, about 70% of the total He-4 degassed from Earth comes from the continental crust(2,-5,7). However, the outgoing flux of crustal He-4 has not been directly measured at the Earths surface(2) and the migration pathways are poorly understood(2-4,7,8). Here we present measurements of helium isotopes and the long-lived cosmogenic radio-isotope Kr-81 in the deep, continental-scale Guarani aquifer in Brazil and show that crustal He-4 reaches the atmosphere primarily by the surficial discharge of deep groundwater. We estimate that He-4 in Guarani groundwater discharge accounts for about 20% of the assumed global flux from continental crust, and that other large aquifers may account for about 33%. Old groundwater ages suggest that He-4 in the Guarani aquifer accumulates over half- to one-million-year timescales. We conclude that He-4 degassing from the continents is regulated by groundwater discharge, rather than episodic tectonic events, and suggest that the assumed steady state between crustal production and degassing of He-4, and its resulting atmospheric residence time, should be re-examined.

TI ANALYSIS OF LOSS-OF-FLOW ACCIDENTS FOR THE NIST RESEARCH REACTOR WITH
FUEL CONVERSION FROM HEU TO LEU
SO NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGY

reactor (NBSR)
AB A program is underway to convert the current highenriched uranium (HEU) fuel to low-enriched uranium (LEU) fuel in the 20-MW D2O-moderated research reactor (NBSR) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. A RELAP5 model has been developed to analyze postulated accidents in the NBSR with the present HEU fuel and a proposed LEU fuel. The model includes the reactor vessel, primary pumps, shutdown pumps, various valves, heat exchangers, and average and hottest fuel elements and flow channels in the region where flow enters through an inner plenum (6 fuel elements) and a region where flow enters through an outer plenum (24 elements). The equilibrium cycle power distributions in the fuel elements were determined based on three-dimensional Monte Carlo neutron transport calculations peiformed with the MCNPX code.
In this paper we discuss safety analyses conducted for the loss-of-flow accidents resulting from either loss of electrical power or inadvertent throttling of flow control valves at the inlets to the inner and outer plena. The analysis shows that the fuel conversion will not lead to significant changes in the safety analysis and that the calculated maximum clad temperatures, minimum critical heat flux ratios, and minimum onset of flow instability ratios assure that there is adequate margin to fuel failure.

AB Seed oils enriched in omega-7 monounsaturated fatty acids, including palmitoleic acid (16:19) and cis-vaccenic acid (18:111), have nutraceutical and industrial value for polyethylene production and biofuels. Existing oilseed crops accumulate only small amounts (<2%) of these novel fatty acids in their seed oils. We demonstrate a strategy for enhanced production of omega-7 monounsaturated fatty acids in camelina (Camelina sativa) and soybean (Glycine max) that is dependent on redirection of metabolic flux from the typical 9 desaturation of stearoyl (18:0)-acyl carrier protein (ACP) to 9 desaturation of palmitoyl (16:0)-acyl carrier protein (ACP) and coenzyme A (CoA). This was achieved by seed-specific co-expression of a mutant 9-acyl-ACP and an acyl-CoA desaturase with high specificity for 16:0-ACP and CoA substrates, respectively. This strategy was most effective in camelina where seed oils with similar to 17% omega-7 monounsaturated fatty acids were obtained. Further increases in omega-7 fatty acid accumulation to 60-65% of the total fatty acids in camelina seeds were achieved by inclusion of seed-specific suppression of 3-keto-acyl-ACP synthase II and the FatB 16:0-ACP thioesterase genes to increase substrate pool sizes of 16:0-ACP for the 9-acyl-ACP desaturase and by blocking C18 fatty acid elongation. Seeds from these lines also had total saturated fatty acids reduced to similar to 5% of the seed oil versus similar to 12% in seeds of nontransformed plants. Consistent with accumulation of triacylglycerol species with shorter fatty acid chain lengths and increased monounsaturation, seed oils from engineered lines had marked shifts in thermotropic properties that may be of value for biofuel applications.

AB A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs) regulate cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) signaling in space and time. Dual-specific AKAP2 (D-AKAP2/AKAP10) binds with high affinity to both RI and RII regulatory subunits of PKA and is anchored to transporters through PDZ domain proteins. Here, we describe a structure of D-AKAP2 in complex with two interacting partners and the exact mechanism by which a segment that on its own is disordered presents an -helix to PKA and a -strand to PDZK1. These two motifs nucleate a polyvalent scaffold and show how PKA signaling is linked to the regulation of transporters. Formation of the D-AKAP2: PKA binary complex is an important first step for high affinity interaction with PDZK1, and the structure reveals important clues toward understanding this phenomenon. In contrast to many other AKAPs, D-AKAP2 does not interact directly with the membrane protein. Instead, the interaction is facilitated by the C-terminus of D-AKAP2, which contains two binding motifsthe D-AKAP2(AKB) and the PDZ motifthat are joined by a short linker and only become ordered upon binding to their respective partner signaling proteins. The D-AKAP2(AKB) binds to the D/D domain of the R-subunit and the C-terminal PDZ motif binds to a PDZ domain (from PDZK1) that serves as a bridging protein to the transporter. This structure also provides insights into the fundamental question of why D-AKAP2 would exhibit a differential mode of binding to the two PKA isoforms.

AB We discuss a model for the evolution of the turbulent mixing width after a shock or a reshock passes through the interface between two fluids of densities and inducing a velocity jump . In this model, the initial growth rate is independent of the surface finish or initial mixing width , but its duration is directly proportional to it: for , and for . Here is the Atwood number and are dimensionless, -dependent parameters measured in past Rayleigh-Taylor experiments, and is a new dimensionless parameter we introduce via . The mixing width and its derivative remain continuous at since and . We evaluate at from air/SF experiments and propose that the transition at signals isotropication of turbulence. We apply this model to the recent experiments of Jacobs et al. (Shock Waves 23:407-413, 2013) on shock and reshock, and discuss briefly the third wave causing an unstable acceleration of the interface. We also consider the experiments of Weber et al. (Phys Fluids 24:074105, 2012) and argue that their smaller growth rates reflect density gradient stabilization.

AB The influence of temperature on the atomic structure at the electrochemical interface has been studied using in-situ surface x-ray scattering (SXS) during the formation of metal monolayers on a Au(111) electrode. For the surface reconstruction of Au(111), higher temperatures increase the mobility of surface atoms in the unreconstructed phase which then determines the surface ordering during the formation of the reconstruction. For the underpotential deposition (UPD) systems, the surface diffusion of the depositing metal adatoms is significantly reduced at low temperatures which results in the frustration of ordered structures in the case of Cu UPD, occurring on a Br-modified surface, and in the formation of a disordered Ag monolayer during Ag UPD. The results indicate that temperature changes affect the mass transport and diffusion of metal adatoms on the electrode surface. This demonstrates the importance of including temperature as a variable in studying surface structure and reactions at the electrochemical interface. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

This method utilizes the deconvolution, or inverse filter, in single channel time reversal experiments in solids. Special attention is given to the necessary procedure for improving source signal reconstruction in real experimental conditions. It is also demonstrated theoretically and numerically that good temporal focusing implies that the radius in the spherically symmetric part of the spatial focus is small. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.

AB Three types of wood pellets samples, including two types of commercial pellets and one type of lab-made control pellets were torrefied in a fixed bed unit to study the effect of thermal pretreatment on the quality of wood pellets. The quality of wood pellets was mainly characterized by the pellet density, bulk density, higher heating value, Meyer hardness, saturated moisture uptake, volumetric energy density, and energy yield. Results showed that torrefaction significantly decreased the pellet density, hardness, volumetric energy density, and energy yield. The higher heating value increased and the saturated moisture content decreased after torrefaction. In view of the lower density, lower hardness, lower volumetric energy density, and energy yield of torrefied pellets, it is recommended that biomass should be torrefied and then compressed to make strong pellets of high hydrophobicity and volumetric energy density.

AB To maximize yields of fermentable xylose monomer from hydrothermal pretreatment of corn stover at 200 degrees C, the xylooligomers- rich liquor produced was post hydrolyzed with dilute sulfuric acid over a range of times and acid concentrations. The results showed that application of 0.75% H2SO4 at 110 degrees C for 180 min or 0.50% H2SO4 at 110 degrees C for 240 min recovered almost 100% of the total xylose from the oligomers. Furthermore, adjusting one constant in the combined severity parameter ( CSP) provided a rapid and accurate tool for trading off times, temperatures, and acid concentrations to reach the highest xylose yields from xylooligomers in hydrothermal pretreatment solutions. This adjusted CSP showed that an 8.4 degrees C temperature increase has the same impact as doubling the acid concentration or halving reaction time instead of the 10 degrees C change projected by the customary CSP and suggests that xylooligomers bonds are more easily broken than the hemicellulose from which they are derived.

AB This paper proposes a novel control strategy for coordinated operation of networked microgrids (MGs) in a distribution system. The distribution network operator (DNO) and each MG are considered as distinct entities with individual objectives to minimize the operation costs. It is assumed that both the dispatchable and nondispatchable distributed generators (DGs) exist in the networked MGs. In order to achieve the equilibrium among all entities and take into account the uncertainties of DG outputs, we formulate the problem as a stochastic bi-level problem with the DNO in the upper level and MGs in the lower level. Each level consists of two stages. The first stage is to determine base generation setpoints based on the load and nondispatchable DG output forecasts and the second stage is to adjust the generation outputs based on the realized scenarios. A scenario reduction method is applied to enhance a tradeoff between the accuracy of the solution and the computational burden. Case studies of a distribution system with multiple MGs of different types demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology. The centralized control, deterministic formulation, and stochastic formulation are also compared.

AB Accurate information about dynamic states is important for efficient control and operation of a power system. This paper compares the performance of four Bayesian-based filtering approaches in estimating dynamic states of a synchronous machine using phasor measurement unit data. The four methods are extended Kalman filter, unscented Kalman filter, ensemble Kalman filter, and particle filter. The statistical performance of each algorithm is compared using Monte Carlo methods and a two-area-four-machine test system. Under the statistical framework, robustness against measurement noise and process noise, sensitivity to sampling interval, and computation time are evaluated and compared for each approach. Based on the comparison, this paper makes some recommendations for the proper use of the methods.

AB This paper presents control algorithms and sizing strategies for using energy storage to manage energy imbalance for variable generation resources. The control objective is to minimize the hourly generation imbalance between the actual and the scheduled generation of wind farms. Three control algorithms are compared: 1) tracking minute-by-minute power imbalance; 2) postcompensation; and 3) precompensation. Measured data from a wind farm are used in the study. The results show that tracking minute-by-minute power imbalance achieves the best performance by keeping hourly energy imbalance zero. However, the energy storage system (ESS) will be significantly oversized. Postcompensation reduces the power rating of the ESS but the hourly energy imbalance may not be reduced to zero when a large and long-lasting power imbalance occurs. A linear regression forecasting algorithm is developed for a two-stage precompensation algorithm to precharge or predischarge the ESS based on the predicted energy imbalance. An equivalent charge cycle estimation method is proposed to evaluate the effect of providing the energy balancing service on battery life. The performance comparison shows that the precompensation method reduces the size of the ESS by 30% with satisfactory performance.

AB The Br-2/H-2 redox flow cell shows promise as a high-power, low-cost energy storage device. The effect of various aspects of material selection, processing, and assembly of electrodes on the operation, performance, and efficiency of the system is determined. In particular, (+) electrode thickness, cell compression, hydrogen pressure, and (-) electrode architecture are investigated. Increasing hydrogen pressure and depositing the (-) catalyst layer on the membrane instead of on the carbon paper backing layers have a large positive impact on performance, enabling a limiting current density above 2 A cm(-2) and a peak power density of 1.4 W cm(-2). Maximum energy efficiency of 79 % is achieved. In addition, the root cause of limiting-current behavior in this system is elucidated, where it is found that Br- reversibly adsorbs at the Pt (-) electrode for potentials exceeding a critical value, and the extent of Br- coverage is potential-dependent. This phenomenon limits maximum cell current density and must be addressed in system modeling and design. These findings are expected to lower system cost and enable higher efficiency.

AB Gold(I) complexes are an important tool in the arsenal of established approaches for treating rheumatoid arthritis (RA), while some recent studies have suggested that gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) may also be therapeutically efficacious. These observations prompted the current biological studies involving gold(I) anti-RA agents and Au NPs, which are aimed towards improving our knowledge of how they work. The cytotoxicity of auranofin, aurothiomalate, aurothiosulfate and Au NPs towards RAW264.7 macrophages was evaluated using the MIT assay, with the former compound proving to be the most toxic. The extent of cellular uptake of the various gold agents was determined using graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry, while their distribution within macrophages was examined using microprobe synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy. The latter technique showed accumulation of gold in discrete regions of the cell, and co-localisation with sulfur in the case of cells treated with aurothiomalate or auranofin. Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry was used to characterize thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) in which the penultimate selenocysteine residue was replaced by cysteine. Mass spectra of solutions of TrxR and aurothiomalate, aurothiosulfate or auranofin showed complexes containing bare gold atoms bound to the protein, or protein adducts containing gold atoms retaining some of their initial ligands. These results support TrxR being an important target of gold(I) drugs used to treat RA, while the finding that Au NPs are incorporated into macrophages, but elicit little toxicity, indicates further exploration of their potential for treatment of RA is warranted.

AB Although now recognized to be an important reactive nitrogen species in biological systems that modifies the structures of proteins, DNA and lipids, there are few studies on the reactivity of (NO2)-N-center dot, including the reactions between (NO2)-N-center dot and transition metal complexes. We report kinetic studies on the reactions of (NO2)-N-center dot with two forms of vitamin B-12 - cob(II)alamin and nitrocobalamin. UV-visible spectroscopy and HPLC analysis of the product solution show that (NO2)-N-center dot cleanly oxidizes the metal center of cob(II)alamin to form nitrocobalamin, with a second-order rate constant of (3.5 +/- 0.3) x 10(8) M-1 s(-1) (pH 7.0 and 9.0, room temperature, I = 0.20 M). The stoichiometry of the reaction is 1:1. No reaction is detected by UV-visible spectroscopy and HPLC analysis of the product solution when nitrocobalamin is exposed to up to 2.0 mol equiv. (NO2)-N-center dot. (C) 2014 Published by Elsevier Inc.

AB Screening designs for identifying active main effects among a group of factors are frequently used by experimenters. Methods for efficiently designing experiments that estimate main effects are needed, particularly if the experiment involves categorical factors at more than two levels and requires a nonstandard run size. We propose a new and powerful algorithm based on a sequential element-wise-column-wise strategy that focuses on maintaining balance within and between columns. We compare the new algorithm with a column-wise algorithm for finding some selected orthogonal and near-orthogonal arrays. We examine the performance of both algorithms using different criteria and provide a discussion of general strategies in searching for designs.

AB The achievable sensitivity of electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) is largely determined by the ionization efficiency in the ESI source and ion transmission efficiency through the ESI-MS interface. These performance characteristics are difficult to evaluate and compare across multiple platforms as it is difficult to correlate electrical current measurements to actual analyte ions reaching the detector of a mass spectrometer. We present an effective method to evaluate the overall ion utilization efficiency of an ESI-MS interface by measuring the total gas-phase ion current transmitted through the interface and correlating it to the observed ion abundance measured in the corresponding mass spectrum. Using this method, we systematically studied the ion transmission and ionization efficiencies of different ESI-MS interface configurations, including a single emitter/single inlet capillary, single emitter/multi-inlet capillary, and a subambient pressure ionization with nanoelectrospray (SPIN) MS interface with a single emitter and an emitter array, respectively. Our experimental results indicate that the overall ion utilization efficiency of SPIN-MS interface configurations exceeds that of the inlet capillary-based ESI-MS interface configurations.

AB Raccoons (Procyon lotor) and Virginia opossums (Didelphis virginiana) are highly abundant, synanthropic mesocarnivores that can transmit epizootic diseases of critical importance to human and livestock health such as rabies and tuberculosis. Individuals of both species can exhibit large dispersal distances and our understanding of population connectivity for both of these species is limited. Data on population connectivity and potential for disease transmission are needed for each of these species for the development of data-informed management, control, and vaccination programs. Genetic connectivity among populations can be estimated by evaluation of metrics such as of isolation by distance (IBD) signatures and population structure. Such metrics are influenced not only by geographic distance and barriers to dispersal but also by the life-history characteristics of the species in question. We investigated the scale at which these species exhibited evidence of connectivity via gene flow, using samples collected from 9 sites spanning 254km across north-central, west-central, south-central, and southern Indiana, USA. We evaluated genetic connectivity and signatures of IBD using Bayesian clustering analyses and matrix correlation methods. In the Bayesian model, raccoons were assigned to 3 genetic clusters, whereas Virginia opossums exhibited apparent panmixia. Spatial autocorrelation results indicated a significant positive correlation between genetic and geographic distance for raccoons at distances up to 25km and for Virginia opossums up to 4km. Interspecific differences in reproductive biology, social behavior, and dispersal are likely the causes for differences between these 2 species in the spatial partitioning of populations across broad ranges. In addition, geographic features and past glaciation events may be affecting the genetic characteristics of present-day raccoon populations. Improved information regarding interpopulation distance for these 2 synanthropic species may contribute to more effective management and disease-control programs. (c) 2014 The Wildlife Society.

AB Single cell investigations have enabled unexpected discoveries, such as the existence of biological noise and phenotypic switching in infection, metabolism and treatment. Herein, we review methods that enable such single cell investigations specific to metabolism and bioenergetics. Firstly, we discuss how to isolate and immobilize individuals from a cell suspension, including both permanent and reversible approaches. We also highlight specific advances in microbiology for its implications in metabolic engineering. Methods for probing single cell physiology and metabolism are subsequently reviewed. The primary focus therein is on dynamic and high-content profiling strategies based on label-free and fluorescence microspectroscopy and microscopy. Non-dynamic approaches, such as mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance, are also briefly discussed. (C) 2014 international Metabolic Engineering Society. Published by Elsevier Inc.

AB U-Zr metallic fuels cladded in Fe-alloys are being considered for application in an advanced sodium-cooled fast reactor that can recycle the U-Zr fuels and minimize the long-lived actinide waste. To understand the complex fuel-cladding chemical interaction between the U-Zr metallic fuels with Fe-alloys, a systematic multicomponent diffusion study was carried out using solid-to-solid diffusion couples. The U-10 wt pct Zr vs pure Fe diffusion couples were assembled and annealed at temperatures, 903 K, 923 K, and 953 K (630 A degrees C, 650 A degrees C, and 680 A degrees C) for 96 hours. Development of microstructure, phase constituents, and compositions developed during the thermal anneals were examined by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy. Complex microstructure consisting of several layers that include phases such as U6Fe, UFe2, ZrFe2, alpha-U, beta-U, Zr-precipitates, chi, epsilon, and lambda were observed. Multi-phase layers were grouped based on phase constituents and microstructure, and the layer thicknesses were measured to calculate the growth constant and activation energy. The local average compositions through the interaction layer were systematically determined, and employed to construct semi-quantitative diffusion paths on isothermal U-Zr-Fe ternary phase diagrams at respective temperatures. The diffusion paths were examined to qualitatively estimate the diffusional behavior of individual components and their interactions. Furthermore, selected area electron diffraction analyses were carried out to determine, for the first time, the exact crystal structure and composition of chi, epsilon, and lambda-phases. The chi, epsilon, and lambda-phases were identified as Pnma(62) Fe(Zr,U), I4/mcm(140) Fe(Zr,U)(2), and P42/mnm(136) U-3(Zr,Fe), respectively.

AB As part of the pyrometallurgical treatment of used Experimental Breeder Reactor-II fuel, a metal waste stream is generated consisting primarily of cladding hulls laden with fission products noble to the electrorefining process. Consolidation by melting at high temperature [1873 K (1600 A degrees C)] has been developed to sequester the noble metal fission products (Zr, Mo, Tc, Ru, Rh, Te, and Pd) which remain in the iron-based cladding hulls. Zirconium from the uranium fuel alloy (U-10Zr) is also deposited on the hulls and forms Fe-Zr intermetallics which incorporate the noble metals as well as residual actinides during processing. Hence, Zr has been chosen as the primary indicator for consistency of the metal waste. Recently, the first production-scale metal waste ingot was generated and sampled to monitor Zr content for Fe-Zr intermetallic phase formation and validation of processing conditions. Chemical assay of the metal waste ingot revealed a homogeneous distribution of the noble metal fission products as well as the primary fuel constituents U and Zr. Microstructural characterization of the ingot confirmed the immobilization of the noble metals in the Fe-Zr intermetallic phase.

AB The creep deformation behavior of Allvac 718Plus was studied over the temperature range of 923 K to 1005 K (650 A degrees C to 732 A degrees C) at initial applied stress levels ranging from 517 to 655 MPa. Over the entire experimental temperature-stress regime this alloy exhibits Class M-type creep behavior with all creep curves exhibiting a decelerating strain rate with strain or time throughout primary creep. However, unlike pure metals or simple solid solution alloys, this gamma prime strengthened superalloy does not exhibit steady-state creep. Rather, primary creep is instantly followed by a long duration of accelerating strain rate with strain or time. These creep characteristics are common among the gamma prime strengthened superalloys. Allvac 718Plus also exhibits a very high temperature dependence of creep rate. Detailed TEM examination of the deformation structures of selected creep samples reveals dislocation mechanisms similar to those found in high volume fraction gamma prime strengthened superalloys. Strong evidence of microtwinning is found in several of the deformation structures. The presence of microtwinning may account for the strong temperature dependence of creep rate observed in this alloy. In addition, due to the presence of Nb and thus, grain boundary delta phase, matrix dislocation activity which is not present in non-Nb-bearing superalloys occurs in this alloy. The creep characteristics and dislocation mechanisms are presented and discussed in detail.

AB We report use of PEG-DSPE coated oxidized graphene nanoribbons (O-GNR-PEG-DSPE) as agent for delivery of anti-tumor drug Lucanthone (Luc) into Glioblastoma Multiformae (GBM) cells targeting base excision repair enzyme APE-1 (Apurinic endonuclease-1). Lucanthone, an endonuclease inhibitor of APE-1, was loaded onto O-GNR-PEG-DSPEs using a simple non-covalent method. We found its uptake by GBM cell line U251 exceeding 67% and 60% in APE-1-overexpressing U251, post 24 h. However, their uptake was similar to 38% and 29% by MCF-7 and rat glial progenitor cells (CG-4), respectively. TEM analysis of U251 showed large aggregates of O-GNR-PEG-DSPE in vesicles. Luc-O-GNR-PEG-DSPE was significantly toxic to U251 but showed little/no toxicity when exposed to MCF-7/CG-4 cells. This differential uptake effect can be exploited to use O-GNR-PEG-DSPEs as a vehicle for Luc delivery to GBM, while reducing nonspecific cytotoxicity to the surrounding healthy tissue. Cell death in U251 was necrotic, probably due to oxidative degradation of APE-1.
From the Clinical Editor: This study reports on the utility of PEG-DSPE coated oxidized graphene nanoribbons as anti-tumor drug delivery agents of Lucanthone into Glioblastoma Multiformae cells targeting base excision repair enzyme APE-1, demonstrating promising anti-tumor effects with good preservation of healthy cells.

Further improvements in sensitivity and reproducibility will extend practical applications of the SERS-based detection platforms to wider range of problems. In this report, we discuss several strategies designed to improve performance of the SERS-based detection system. We demonstrate that reproducibility of the platform is enhanced by using atomically smooth mica surface as a template for preparation of capture surface in SERS sandwich immunoassay. Furthermore, assay's stability and sensitivity can be further improved by using either polymer or graphene monolayer as a thin protective layer applied on top of the assay addresses. The protective layer renders signal to be more stable against photo-induced damage and carbonaceous contamination.
From the Clinical Editor: This study discusses strategies to improve the performance of nano-immunoassays utilizing surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect, an analytical technique with high sensitivity that holds a great promise for early cancer biomarker detection.

AB Depending on the Ginzburg-Landau parameter kappa, superconductors can either be fully diamagnetic if kappa < 1/root 2 (type I superconductors) or allow magnetic flux to penetrate through Abrikosov vortices if kappa > 1/root 2 (type II superconductors; refs 1,2). At the Bogomolny critical point, kappa = kappa(c) = 1/root 2, a state that is infinitely degenerate with respect to vortex spatial configurations arises(3,4). Despite in-depth investigations of conventional type I and type II superconductors, a thorough understanding of the magnetic behaviour in the near-Bogomolny critical regime at kappa similar to kappa(c) remains lacking. Here we report that in confined systems the critical regime expands over a finite interval of kappa forming a critical superconducting state. We show that in this state, in a sample with dimensions comparable to the vortex core size, vortices merge into a multi-quanta droplet, which undergoes Rayleigh instability(5) on increasing kappa and decays by emitting single vortices. Superconducting vortices realize Nielsen-Olesen singular solutions of the Abelian Higgs model, which is pervasive in phenomena ranging from quantum electrodynamics to cosmology(6-9). Our study of the transient dynamics of Abrikosov-Nielsen-Olesen vortices in systems with boundaries promises access to non-trivial effects in quantum field theory by means of bench-top laboratory experiments.

ID STRATEGIES; ITERATION
AB Combinations of three approaches are examined as options to replace the algorithms presently employed in the variational nodal code VARIANT. They are preconditioned Generalized Minimal Residual (GMRES) algorithms, parallelism in energy, and Wielandt acceleration. Together with partitioned matrix and Gauss-Seidel (GS) preconditioners, two GMRES algorithms are formulated to replace the upscattering iteration and facilitate energy parallelism and Wielandt acceleration. The GMRES algorithms are tested on two-dimensional thermal and fast reactor diffusion problems. The two GMRES algorithms yield higher efficiencies in energy group parallelization and Wielandt acceleration than simple parallelization of the existing GS algorithm. With preconditioning the GMRES algorithms reduce the total computing time by a factor of 2 to 4 and in some cases by a factor of >10.
A multilevel iteration optimization scheme is investigated that automatically adjusts the relative error tolerance of the inner iterations according to the estimated convergence rate of the corresponding outer iterations and updates the Wielandt shift magnitude as the calculations progress. Numerical results based on large two-dimensional thermal and fast reactor diffusion problems demonstrate that automated optimization of the multilevel iterative processes reduces iteration numbers by as much as an order of magnitude.

ID KERNEL; IMPACT; GAS
AB The resonance scattering transfer cross section has been reformulated to account for anisotropic scattering in the center of mass of the neutron-nucleus system. The main innovation over previous implementations is the relaxation of the ubiquitous assumption of isotropic scattering in the center of mass and the actual effective use of scattering angle distributions from evaluated nuclear data files in the computation of the angular moments of the resonant scattering kernels. The formulas for the high-order an isotropic moments in the laboratory system are also derived. A multigroup numerical formulation is derived and implemented into a module incorporated within the NJOY nuclear data processing code. An ultrafine-energy-mesh cross-section library was generated using these new theoretical models and then was used for fuel assembly calculations with the PARAGON lattice physics code. The results obtained indicate that this new model makes a significant difference to predictions of reactivity, multigroup fluxes, and isotopic inventory during depletion.

AB Significant amounts of radioactive materials were released to the atmosphere from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant after the accident caused by the major earthquake and devastating tsunami on March 11, 2011. Accurate and efficient prediction of the distribution and fate of radioactive materials eventually deposited at the surface in the Fukushima area is of primary importance. In order to make such a prediction, it is important to gather information regarding the main migration pathways for radioactive materials in the environment and the time dependences of radioactive material transport over the long term. The radionuclide of most concern in the Fukushima case is radioactive cesium. Previous surveys indicate that the primary transportation mechanisms of cesium are either soil erosion and water transport of sediment-sorbed contaminants or transport of dissolved cesium in the water drainage system such as by rivers. A number of mathematical models of radioactive contaminants, with particular attention paid to radiocesium, on the land and in rivers, reservoirs, and estuaries in the Fukushima area are developed. Simulation results are examined while simultaneously implementing field investigations. For example, the orders of magnitude of the radiocesium concentration on the flood plain of the Ukedo River by model prediction and field investigation results were both 10(5) Bq/kg. Microscopic studies of the adsorption/desorption mechanism of cesium and soils have been performed to shed light on the mechanisms of macroscopic diffusive transport of radiocesium through soil. The maximum exchange energy between cesium and prelocated potassium in the frayed edge site was simulated to be 27 kJ/mol, which reproduces the corresponding value previously achieved by experiments. These predictions will be utilized for assessment of dose from the environmental contamination and proposed countermeasures to limit dispersion of the contaminants.

AB An analytical framework for identifying key factors of the degradation of photovoltaic efficiency over time is presented. We demonstrate that, in many photovoltaic experimental settings, reliability data sets are easily cast in a multi- or N-way format. We adopt a statistical technique, N-way partial least squares, that generates a multi-linear model using all of the data simultaneously. With this approach, we are able to model variables of interest such as cell efficiency while representing the data in a lower-dimensional space in which salient features are more easily identified. We illustrate our approach with reliability data for CdS/CdTe heterojunction solar cell devices. Even with the inclusion of a noisy parameter such as the net acceptor density, and with a relatively small number of devices, we automatically identify key factors that are highly related to performance degradation. In particular, the conductance at the back contact is related to short stress-time degradation (0-300h), whereas the net acceptor density near the junction (at +0.08VDC bias) is correlated with more gradual, long stress-time degradation (300-1000h). These notable degradation modes are explained with respect to our processing conditions and Cu-diffusion in the cells. Copyright (c) 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

AB Concerns over climate change (global warming) are driving innovation for stabilizing and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Technologies like carbon capture and storage (CCS) as well as renewable energy sources including wind and solar have been increasingly used and integrated into existing energy systems. The global installed renewable energy capacity booms, but many problems regarding grid integration appears due to the variability and uncertainty in the output of renewable energy generation. Therefore, large amount of curtailed electric energy (CEE) exists, which means some of the renewable energy generation must be wasted to keep real-time balance between load and generation in power system. In this paper, the definition of CEE is introduced, and the main causes for CEE are discussed. Then, the worldwide CEE is estimated, especially in China. Moreover, to evaluate the utilization priority of various generation resources, the potential of reducing fossil fuel consumption, GHG emissions and air pollutants as well as the potential of capturing CO2 with CEE are analyzed. Possible CEE reduction strategies are also presented. (C) 2014 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

AB The dynamic wake meandering (DWM) model is an engineering wake model designed to physically model the wake deficit evolution and the unsteady meandering that occurs in wind turbine wakes. The present study aims at improving two features of the model:
1. The effect of the atmospheric boundary layer shear on the wake deficit evolution by including a strain-rate contribution in the wake turbulence calculation.
2. The method to account for the increased turbulence at a wake-affected turbine by basing the wake-added turbulence directly on the Reynolds stresses of the oncoming wake. This also allows the model to simulate the build-up of turbulence over a row of turbines in a physically consistent manner.
The performance of the modified model is validated against actuator line (AL) model results and field data from the Lillgrund offshore wind farm. Qualitatively, the modified DWM model is in fair agreement with the reference data. A quantitative comparison between the mean flow field of the DWM model with and without the suggested improvements, to that of the AL model, shows that the root-mean-square difference in terms of wind speed and turbulence intensity is reduced on the order of 30% and 40%, respectively, by including the proposed corrections for a row of eight turbines. Furthermore, it is found that the root-mean-square difference between the AL model and the modified DWM model in terms of wind speed and turbulence intensity does not increase over a row of turbines compared with the root-mean-square difference of a single turbine.

AB X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy were used to probe the structure of the misfit compound [(SnSe)(1.15)](1)(VSe2)(1) grown using an elementally modulated precursor. The specular X-ray diffraction pattern contained only 00l reflections, which yielded a c lattice parameter of 1.203(1) nm. Cross-section STEM revealed alternating layers of SnSe and VSe2, in agreement with the structure model refined from the X-ray diffraction pattern using Rietveld refinement. Plan-view transmission electron microscopy revealed the in-plane grain structure of the films, yielding grain sizes in agreement with previously reported in plane X-ray diffraction studies and the cross-section STEM images. The plan view images also contained Moire fringes resulting from grains with different relative tilting on both sides of interfaces as well as Moire fringes resulting from different relative rotations between domains. An energy-filtered nano-beam electron diffraction pattern obtained from at least one domain in the [(SnSe)(1.15)](1) (VSe2)(1) sample investigated in cross section contained a series of resolvable supercell reflections along the c axis that indicated that the supercell c-axis lattice parameter was a multiple of three times that determined using X-ray diffraction. Energy filtered NBED of plan-view samples showed diffraction patterns from select regions with 12-fold symmetry, indicating that the arrangement of the layers is not rotationally random from layer to layer. This suggests that during the self-assembly of the amorphous modulated elemental precursor, the SnSe and VSe2 constituent layers must nucleate off the adjacent interfaces of the growing crystal, yielding layers that are locally rotationally aligned with growing crystal. Different processing conditions during the precursor to crystal self-assembly might enable the domain size and/or the extent of order to be controlled.

AB This review highlights various design and synthesis approaches toward the construction of ZMOFs, which are metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with topologies and, in some cases, features akin to traditional inorganic zeolites. The interest in this unique subset of MOFs is correlated with their exceptional characteristics arising from the periodic pore systems and distinctive cage-like cavities, in conjunction with modular intra- and/or extra-framework components, which ultimately allow for tailoring of the pore size, pore shape, and/or properties towards specific applications.

AB n-Dodecane/urea is a member of the prototype series of n-alkane/urea inclusion compounds. At room temperature, it presents a quasi-one dimensional liquid-like state for the confined guest molecules within the rigid, hexagonal framework of the urea host. At lower temperatures, we report the existence of two other phases. Below T-c=248 K there appears a phase with rank four superspace group P6(1)22(00 gamma), the one typically observed at room temperature in n-alkane/urea compounds with longer guest molecules. A misfit parameter, defined by the ratio gamma=C-h/C-g (C-host/C-guest), is found to be 0.632 +/- 0.005. Below T-c1=123 K, a monoclinic modulated phase is created with a constant shift along c of the guest molecules in adjacent channels. The maximal monoclinic space group for this structure is P12(1)1(alpha 0 gamma). Analogies and differences with n-heptane/urea, which also presents a monoclinic, modulated low-temperature phase, are discussed.

AB OBJECTIVE: Preconception care for women with diabetes can reduce the occurrence of adverse birth outcomes. We aimed to estimate the preconception care (PCC)epreventable health and cost burden of adverse birth outcomes associated with diagnosed and undiagnosed pregestational diabetes mellitus (PGDM) in the United States.
STUDY DESIGN: Among women of reproductive age (15-44 years), we estimated age-and race/ethnicity-specific prevalence of diagnosed and undiagnosed diabetes. We applied age and race/ethnicity-specific pregnancy rates, estimates of the risk reduction from PCC for 3 adverse birth outcomes (preterm birth, major birth defects, and perinatal mortality), and lifetime medical and lost productivity costs for children with those outcomes. Using a probabilistic model, we estimated the reduction in adverse birth outcomes and costs associated with universal PCC compared with no PCC among women with PGDM. We did not assess maternal outcomes and associated costs.
RESULTS: We estimated 2.2% of US births are to women with PGDM. Among women with diagnosed diabetes, universal PCC might avert 8397 (90% prediction interval [PI], 5252-11,449) preterm deliveries, 3725 (90% PI, 3259-4126) birth defects, and 1872 (90% PI, 1239-2415) perinatal deaths annually. Associated discounted lifetime costs averted for the affected cohort of children could be as high as $4.3 billion (90% PI, 3.4-5.1 billion) (2012 US dollars). PCC among women with undiagnosed diabetes could yield an additional $1.2 billion (90% PI, 951 million-1.4 billion) in averted cost.
CONCLUSION: Results suggest a substantial health and cost burden associated with PGDM that could be prevented by universal PCC, which might offset the cost of providing such care.

AB Relativistic distorted-wave collision strengths have been calculated for the 185 Delta n = 0 transitions with n = 2 in the 67 C-like ions with nuclear charge number Z in the range 26 <= Z <= 92. The calculations were made for the six final, or scattered, electron energies E' = 0.03, 0.08, 0.20, 0.42, 0.80, and 1.40, where E' is in units of Z(eff)(2) Ry with Z(eff) = Z-4.17. In addition, electric dipole oscillator strengths are provided. In the present collision-strength calculations, an improved "top-up" method, which employs relativistic plane waves, was used to obtain the high partial-wave contribution for each transition, in contrast to the partial-relativistic Coulomb-Bethe approximation used in previous work by Zhang and Sampson [H.L. Zhang, D.H. Sampson, At. Data Nucl. Data Tables 63 (1996) 275]. In that earlier work, collision strengths were also provided for the same 185 Delta n = 0 transitions in C-like ions, but for the more limited list of 46 ions with Z in the range 9 <= Z <= 54. The collision strengths covered in the present work, particularly those for optically allowed transitions, should be more accurate than the corresponding data given by Zhang and Sampson [H.L. Zhang, D.H. Sampson, At. Data Nucl. Data Tables 63 (1996) 275] and are presented here to replace those earlier results. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

AB This paper investigates the usefulness of sodium carboxymethyl celluloses (CMC) in promoting self-degradation of 200 degrees C-heated sodium silicate-activated slag/Class C fly ash cementitious material after contact with water. CMC emitted two major volatile compounds, CO2 and acetic acid, creating a porous structure in cement. CMC also reacted with NaOH from sodium silicate to form three solid reaction products, disodium glycolate salt, sodium glucosidic salt, and sodium bicarbonate. Other solid reaction products, such as sodium polysilicate and sodium carbonate, were derived from hydrolysates of sodium silicate. Dissolution of these products upon contact with water generated heat that promoted cement's self-degradation. Thus, CMC of high molecular weight rendered two important features to the water-catalyzed self-degradation of heated cement: one was the high heat generated in exothermic reactions in cement; the other was the introduction of extensive porosity into cement.

TI Spatially resolved estimation of ozone-related mortality in the United

AB The spatial pattern of the uncertainty in air pollution-related health impacts due to climate change has rarely been studied due to the lack of high-resolution model simulations, especially under the Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs), the latest greenhouse gas emission pathways. We estimated future tropospheric ozone (O-3) and related excess mortality and evaluated the associated uncertainties in the continental United States under RCPs. Based on dynamically downscaled climate model simulations, we calculated changes in O-3 level at 12 km resolution between the future (2057 and 2059) and base years (2001-2004) under a low-to-medium emission scenario (RCP4.5) and a fossil fuel intensive emission scenario (RCP8.5). We then estimated the excess mortality attributable to changes in O-3. Finally, we analyzed the sensitivity of the excess mortality estimates to the input variables and the uncertainty in the excess mortality estimation using Monte Carlo simulations. O-3-related premature deaths in the continental U.S. were estimated to be 1312 deaths/year under RCP8.5 (95 % confidence interval (CI): 427 to 2198) and -2118 deaths/year under RCP4.5 (95 % CI: -3021 to -1216), when allowing for climate change and emissions reduction. The uncertainty of O-3-related excess mortality estimates was mainly caused by RCP emissions pathways. Excess mortality estimates attributable to the combined effect of climate and emission changes on O-3 as well as the associated uncertainties vary substantially in space and so do the most influential input variables. Spatially resolved data is crucial to develop effective community level mitigation and adaptation policy.

AB The effects of preferential transport and strain on the scalar structure (profiles of major species, elemental ratios) of turbulent premixed bluff-body stabilized flames are examined using line-imaged Raman/Rayleigh/CO-LIF diagnostics combined with crossed-planar Rayleigh imaging to determine the 3D flame orientation. Comparison of the experimental measurements with laminar flame calculations shows strong effects of preferential diffusion on the flame structure and the product state in lean and rich flames. Measurements of the flame orientation show a strong correlation between the flame-front normal angle and the strength of the preferential transport effects. As the flame-front angle decreases (by increasing the reactant velocity or decreasing the distance from the surface), the coupling between the preferential diffusion through the flame brush and the recirculation region is increased, enhancing the preferential transport effects. Spatial profiles and flame thickness measurements are discussed to evaluate how the strain and the turbulence affect the flame. In fuel-lean flames, as the velocity increases, eddies smaller than the flame thickness, but larger than the reaction layer, penetrate the preheat zone, improving the mixing and thickening the flame. Higher velocities are associated with higher levels of strain, which mitigate the thickening effect of the turbulence. Increases of the flame thickness up to 10% were observed. In fuel-rich flames, both the strain and the turbulence contribute to the thickening of the flame, and a flame thickness up to 2.5 times larger than the unstrained laminar thickness is observed. Changes are not limited to the preheat zone, but affect the entire flame structure. Progress variable scalar dissipation rate profiles are also discussed.

AB The structural stability of Al layers in contact with 3.5 wt.% NaCl water solution was investigated at a temperature of 25 degrees C and hydrostatic pressures from 1 to 600 atm using neutron reflectometry. A pressure-temperature (P-T) Neutron Reflectometry (NR) cell developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) was used to understand the behavior of thin (similar to 900 angstrom) aluminum layers in contact with saline liquid. Experimental results suggest that in the preliminary stages of corrosion the influence of pressure accelerates the mechanism of interactions of the oxide film with Cl- and H2O with lower speed compared to results found in the literature.

AB The influence of hot rolling on the corrosion of Mg-X alloys (X = Gd, Ca, Al, Mn, Sn, Sr, Nd, La, Ce, Zr or Si) was investigated by immersion tests in 3.5% NaCl solution saturated with Mg(OH)(2). The corrosion rates for all Mg-X alloys (except Mg0.1Zr and Mg0.3Si) decreased after hot rolling, attributed to fine-grained alloys having a more homogeneous microstructure, and fewer, smaller second-phase particles. For Mg0.1Zr and Mg0.3Si, the corrosion rate increased after hot rolling. There were a number of possible reasons, one of which was a greater sensitivity to the precipitation of deleterious Fe-rich particles. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The LSP induced compressive residual stresses and changes in the near surface microstructure, hardness were characterized. The effects of LSP on SCC susceptibility of Alloy 600 in tetrathionate solution were evaluated by slow strain rate tests and constant load tests. The results indicate a significantly longer time to failure and decreased susceptibility to SCC. These improvements were attributed to LSP induced compressive residual stresses, increased yield strength and hardening caused by near-surface microstructural changes. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

AB The synthesis, stoichiometry, and structural characterization of a homoleptic, cationic europium(III) complex with three neutral tetraalkyldiglycolamide ligands are reported. The tri(bismuth tetrachloride) tris(N,N,N',N'-tetra-n-octyldiglycolamide)Eu salt, [Eu(TODGA)(3)][(BiCl4)(3)] obtained from methanol was examined by Eu L-3-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) to reveal an inner-sphere coordination of Eu3+ that arises from 9 O atoms and two next-nearest coordination spheres that arise from 6 carbon atoms each. A structural model is proposed in which each TODGA ligand with its O=C-a-C-b-O-C-b-C-a=O backbone acts as a tridentate O donor, where the two carbonyl O atoms and the one ether O atom bond to Eu3+. Given the structural rigidity of the tridentate coordination motif in [Eu(TODGA)(3)](3+) with six 5-membered chelate rings, the six Eu-Ca and six Eu-Cb interactions are readily resolved in the EXAFS (extended X-ray absorption fine structure) spectrum. The three charge balancing [BiCl4](-) anions are beyond the cationic [Eu(TODGA)(3)](3+) cluster in an outer sphere environment that is too distant to be detected by XAS. Despite their sizeable length and propensity for entanglement, the four n-octyl groups of each TODGA (for a total of twelve) do not perturb the Eu3+ coordination environment over that seen from previously reported single-crystal structures of tripositive lanthanide (Ln(3+)) complexes with tetraalkyldiglycolamide ligands (of the same 1 : 3 metal-to-ligand ratio stoichiometry) but having shorter i-propyl and i-butyl groups. The present results set the foundation for understanding advanced solvent extraction processes for the separation of the minor, tripositive actinides (Am, Cm) from the Ln(3+) ions in terms of the local structure of Eu3+ in a solid state coordination complex with TODGA.

AB A binucleating ligand has been prepared that contains an SCS pincer and three oxygen donor atoms in a partial crown ether loop. To enable metalation with Ni-0, a bromoarene precursor was used and resulted in the formation of a nickel-bromide complex in the SCS pincer portion of the ligand. Reaction of the nickel complex with a lithium salt yielded a heterobimetallic complex with bromide bridging the two metal centers. The solid-state structures were determined for this heterobimetallic complex and the nickel-bromide precursor, and the two complexes were characterized electrochemically to determine the influence of coordinating the second metal.

energy and emissions and recycling's role in its reduction

AB Three key questions have driven recent discussions of the energy and environmental impacts of automotive lithium-ion batteries. We address each of them, beginning with whether the energy intensity of producing all materials used in batteries or that of battery assembly is greater. Notably, battery assembly energy intensity depends on assembly facility throughput because energy consumption of equipment, especially the dry room, is mainly throughput-independent. Low-throughput facilities therefore will have higher energy intensities than near-capacity facilities. In our analysis, adopting an assembly energy intensity reflective of a low-throughput plant caused the assembly stage to dominate cradle-to-gate battery energy and environmental impact results. Results generated with an at-capacity assembly plant energy intensity, however, indicated cathode material production and aluminium use as a structural material were the drivers. Estimates of cradle-to-gate battery energy and environmental impacts must therefore be interpreted in light of assumptions made about assembly facility throughput. The second key question is whether battery recycling is worthwhile if battery assembly dominates battery cradle-to-gate impacts. In this case, even if recycled cathode materials are less energy and emissions intensive than virgin cathode materials, little energy and environmental benefit is obtained from their use because the energy consumed in assembly is so high. We reviewed the local impacts of metals recovery for cathode materials and concluded that avoiding or reducing these impacts, including SOx emissions and water contamination, is a key motivator of battery recycling regardless of the energy intensity of assembly. Finally, we address whether electric vehicles (EV) offer improved energy and environmental performance compared to internal combustion-engine vehicles (ICV). This analysis illustrated that, even if a battery assembly energy reflective of a low-throughput facility is adopted, EVs consume less petroleum and emit fewer greenhouse gases (GHG) than an ICV on a life-cycle basis. The only scenario in which an EV emitted more GHGs than an ICV was when it used solely coal-derived electricity as a fuel source. SOx emissions, however, were up to four times greater for EVs than ICVs. These emissions could be reduced through battery recycling.

AB We report several synergistic effects in Hg alloying of SnTe to enhance the power factor and overall figure of merit ZT. Hg alloying decreases the energy separation between the two valence bands, leading to pronounced band convergence that improves the Seebeck coefficient. Hg alloying of SnTe also significantly enlarges the band gap thereby effectively suppressing the bipolar diffusion. Collectively, this results in high ZT of similar to 1.35 at 910 K for 2% Bi-doped SnTe with 3% HgTe. The solubility limit of Hg in SnTe is less than 3 mol%, and above this level we observe HgTe precipitates in the SnTe matrix, typically trapped at grain boundary triple junctions. The strong point defect scattering of phonons caused by Hg alloying coupled with mesoscale scattering via grain boundaries contributes to a great reduction of lattice thermal conductivity. The multiple synergistic roles that Hg plays in regulating the electron and phonon transport in SnTe provide important new insights into continued optimization of SnTe-based and related materials.

AB We report the use of a simple close-spaced vapor transport technique for the growth of high-quality epitaxial GaAs films using potentially inexpensive GaAs powders as precursors. The free carrier type and density (10(16) to 10(19) cm(-3)) of the films were adjusted by addition of Te or Zn powder to the GaAs source powder. We show using photoelectrochemical and electron beam-induced current analyses that the minority carrier diffusion lengths of the n- and p-GaAs films reached similar to 3 mu m and similar to 8 mu m, respectively. Hall mobilities approach those achieved for GaAs grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition, 1000-4200 cm(2) V-1 s(-1) for n-GaAs and 50-240 cm V-1 s(-1) for p-GaAs depending on doping level. We conclude that the electronic quality of GaAs grown by close-spaced vapor transport is similar to that of GaAs made using conventional techniques and is thus sufficient for high-performance photovoltaic applications.

AB In the search for alternatives to conventional Pt electrocatalysts, we have synthesized ultrathin, ternary PtRuFe nanowires (NW), possessing different chemical compositions in order to probe their CO tolerance as well as electrochemical activity as a function of composition for both (i) the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) and (ii) the formic acid oxidation reaction (FAOR). As-prepared 'multifunctional' ternary NW catalysts exhibited both higher MOR and FAOR activity as compared with mono-metallic Pt NWs, binary Pt7Ru3 and Pt7Fe3 NWs, and commercial catalyst control samples. In terms of synthetic novelty, we utilized a sustainably mild, ambient wet-synthesis method never previously applied to the fabrication of crystalline, pure ternary systems in order to fabricate ultrathin, homogeneous alloy PtRuFe NWs with a range of controlled compositions. These NWs were subsequently characterized using a suite of techniques including XRD, TEM, SAED, and EDAX in order to verify not only the incorporation of Ru and Fe into the Pt lattice but also their chemical homogeneity, morphology, as well as physical structure and integrity. Lastly, these NWs were electrochemically tested in order to deduce the appropriateness of conventional explanations such as (i) the bi-functional mechanism as well as (ii) the ligand effect to account for our MOR and FAOR reaction data. Specifically, methanol oxidation appears to be predominantly influenced by the Ru content, whereas formic acid oxidation is primarily impacted by the corresponding Fe content within the ternary metal alloy catalyst itself.

AB Developing benchmark analytic solutions for problems in solid and fluid mechanics is important for the purpose of testing and verifying computational physics codes. In order to test the numerical results of physics codes that predict the response of elastic-viscoplastic materials, we consider the geometrically linear dynamic sphere problem. We present an exact solution for the dynamic response of a spherical shell composed of a linearly elastic-viscoplastic material exhibiting isotropic symmetry. The solution takes the form of an infinite series of eigenfunctions. We demonstrate, both qualitatively and quantitatively, the convergence of the computed benchmark solution under spatial, temporal, and eigenmode refinement. We also use our computational benchmark solution to compute viscoplastic strains on a spherical shell composed of titanium. (C) 2014 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.

AB Cocaine, through its activation of dopamine (DA) signaling, usurps pathways that process natural rewards. However, the extent to which there is overlap between the networks that process natural and drug rewards and whether DA signaling associated with cocaine abuse influences these networks have not been investigated in humans. We measured brain activation responses to food and cocaine cues with fMRI, and D2/D3 receptors in the striatum with [C-11]raclopride and Positron emission tomography in 20 active cocaine abusers. Compared to neutral cues, food and cocaine cues increasingly engaged cerebellum, orbitofrontal, inferior frontal, and premotor cortices and insula and disengaged cuneus and default mode network (DMN). These fMRI signals were proportional to striatal D2/D3 receptors. Surprisingly cocaine and food cues also deactivated ventral striatum and hypothalamus. Compared to food cues, cocaine cues produced lower activation in insula and postcentral gyrus, and less deactivation in hypothalamus and DMN regions. Activation in cortical regions and cerebellum increased in proportion to the valence of the cues, and activation to food cues in somatosensory and orbitofrontal cortices also increased in proportion to body mass. Longer exposure to cocaine was associated with lower activation to both cues in occipital cortex and cerebellum, which could reflect the decreases in D2/D3 receptors associated with chronicity. These findings show that cocaine cues activate similar, though not identical, pathways to those activated by food cues and that striatal D2/D3 receptors modulate these responses, suggesting that chronic cocaine exposure might influence brain sensitivity not just to drugs but also to food cues.

AB Efficient and trustworthy file querying is important to the overall performance of peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing systems. Emerging methods are beginning to address this challenge by exploiting online social networks (OSNs). However, current OSN-based methods simply cluster common-interest nodes for high efficiency or limit the interaction between social friends for high trustworthiness, which provides limited enhancement or contradicts the open and free service goal of P2P systems. Little research has been undertaken to fully and cooperatively leverage OSNs with integrated consideration of proximity and interest. In this work, we analyze a BitTorrent file sharing trace, which proves the necessity of proximity-and interest-aware clustering. Based on the trace study and OSN properties, we propose a social network integrated P2P file sharing system with enhanced efficiency and trustworthiness (SOCNET) to fully and cooperatively leverage the common-interest, proximity-close, and trust properties of OSN friends. SOCNET uses a hierarchical distributed hash table (DHT) to cluster common-interest nodes, then further cluster proximity-close nodes into a subcluster, and connects the nodes in a subcluster with social links. Thus, when queries travel along trustable social links, they also gain higher probability of being successfully resolved by proximity-close nodes, and it simultaneously enhances efficiency and trustworthiness. We further propose different strategies to guide nodes to forward a file query to friends that are more trustworthy and more likely to resolve the queries or forward the query to file holders. We also propose follower-and cluster-based file replication algorithms to enhance file search efficiency. The results of trace-driven experiments on the real-world PlanetLab testbed demonstrate the higher efficiency, trustworthiness, and dynamism-resilience of SOCNET compared with other systems. Experimental results also confirm the effectiveness of the proposed strategies to improve SOCNET's performance.

AB An inductively coupled plasma distance-of-flight mass spectrometer (ICP-DOFMS) has been coupled with laser-ablation (LA) sample introduction for the elemental analysis of solids. ICP-DOFMS is well suited for the analysis of laser-generated aerosols because it offers both high-speed mass analysis and simultaneous multi-elemental detection. Here, we evaluate the analytical performance of the LA-ICP-DOFMS instrument, equipped with a microchannel plate-based imaging detector, for the measurement of steady-state LA signals, as well as transient signals produced from single LA events. Steady-state detection limits are 1 mu g g(-1), and absolute single-pulse LA detection limits are 200 fg for uranium; the system is shown capable of performing time-resolved single-pulse LA analysis. By leveraging the benefits of simultaneous multi-elemental detection, we also attain a good shot-to-shot reproducibility of 6% relative standard deviation (RSD) and isotope-ratio precision of 0.3% RSD with a 10 s integration time.

AB The liquid sampling-atmospheric pressure glow discharge (LS-APGD) was characterized with respect to the effects of interrelated operational source parameters on the excitation of atomic (I) and ionic (II) states for expanding the fundamental understanding of this microplasma's characteristics as an excitation source for optical emission spectroscopy (OES) analyses. Parameters that were investigated for identifying the key driving forces for atomic and ionic excitation conditions were discharge current, interelectrode gap, and He sheath and counter gas flows. The addition of the He counter gas flow allowed assessment of the additional parameter relevant when aerosol samples are introduced following laser ablation sampling of solid matrices. The introduction of the analytes (500 mu g g(-1) copper and zinc in 2% HNO3) in liquid form through the solution capillary permitted the investigation of source parameter effects, without introducing additional influences from solid sampling such as heterogeneous particle populations. Individual driving forces for excitation/ionization conditions and inter-parametric dependencies were assessed by changing the operating conditions according to a design of experiment (DOE) plan and monitoring Zn and Cu atomic and ionic emission lines (Zn I 213.9 nm, Cu I 324.7 nm, Zn I 481.1 nm, and Zn II 202.5 nm). Pareto plots of standardized effects were used for evaluating levels of significance as well as magnitudes of both individual and inter-active parametric effects on emission responses, background emissions and signal-to-background ratios as well as the LS-APGD's tolerance against changes in excitation conditions (i.e. robustness). The results indicate that parameter settings leading to high plasma power density are the key driving forces for enhanced analyte emission, with the interelectrode distances showing the most pronounced influences for the investigated parameter space.

AB Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries supply a theoretical specific energy 5 times higher than that of lithium-ion batteries (2500 vs. similar to 500 W h kg(-1)). However, the insulating properties and polysulfide shuttle effects of the sulfur cathode and safety concerns of the lithium anode in liquid electrolytes are still key limitations to practical use of traditional Li-S batteries. In this review, we start with a brief discussion on fundamentals of Li-S batteries and key challenges associated with conventional liquid cells. We then introduce the most recent progress in liquid systems, including sulfur positive electrodes, lithium negative electrodes, and electrolytes and binders. We discuss the significance of investigating electrode reaction mechanisms in liquid cells using in situ techniques to monitor the compositional and morphological changes. We also discuss the importance of this game-changing shift, moving from traditional liquid cells to recently developed solid cells, with positive advances in both solid electrolytes and electrode materials. Finally, the opportunities and perspectives for future research on Li-S batteries are presented.

AB Bimodal sized elemental copper (Cu) nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized from inexpensive oxidized copper salts by an extracellular metal-reduction process using anaerobic Thermoanaerobacter sp. X513 bacteria in aqueous solution. The bacteria nucleate NPs outside of the cell, and they control the Cu2+ reduction rate to form uniform crystallites with an average diameter of 1.75 + 0.46 mu m after 3 days incubation. To control the size and enhance the air stability of Cu NPs, the reaction mixtures were supplemented with nitrilotriacetic acid as a chelator, and the surfactant capping agents oleic acid, oleylamine, ascorbic acid, or L-cysteine. Time-dependent UV-visible absorption measurements and XPS studies indicated well-suspended, bimodal colloidal Cu NPs (70-150 and 5-10 nm) with extended air-stability up to 300 min and stable Cu NP film surfaces with 14% oxidation after 20 days. FTIR spectroscopy suggested that these capping agents were effectively adsorbed on the NP surface providing oxidation resistance under aqueous and dry conditions. Compared to previously reported Cu NP syntheses, this biological process substantially reduced the requirement for hazardous organic solvents and chemical reducing agents, while reducing the levels of Cu oxide impurities in the product. This process was highly reproducible and scalable from 0.01 to 1 L batches.

AB We performed extreme ultraviolet spectroscopy using an 80 lines/mm transmission electron microscope mesh as the dispersive element. We present the usefulness of this instrument for dispersing a high harmonic spectrum from the 13th to the 29th harmonic of a Ti: sapph laser, corresponding to a wavelength range from 60 to 27 nm. The resolution of the instrument is limited by the image size of the high harmonic generation region on the detector. The resolution in first order diffraction is under 2 nm over the entire spectral range with a resolving power around 30.

SO JOURNAL OF PARALLEL AND DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING

DE High performance computing; Validation; Scientific computing
AB Computational science and engineering application programs are typically large, complex, and dynamic, and are often constrained by distribution limitations. As a means of making tractable rapid explorations of scientific and engineering application programs in the context of new, emerging, and future computing architectures, a suite of "miniapps" has been created to serve as proxies for full scale applications. Each miniapp is designed to represent a key performance characteristic that does or is expected to significantly impact the runtime performance of an application program. In this paper we introduce a methodology for assessing the ability of these miniapps to effectively represent these.performance issues. We applied this methodology to three miniapps, examining the linkage between them and an application they are intended to represent. Herein we evaluate the fidelity of that linkage. This work represents the initial steps required to begin to answer the question, "Under what conditions does a miniapp represent a key performance characteristic in a full app?"

TI The IceProd framework: Distributed data processing for the IceCube
neutrino observatory
SO JOURNAL OF PARALLEL AND DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING
LA English
DT Article
DE Data management; Grid computing; Monitoring; Distributed computing
AB IceCube is a one-gigaton instrument located at the geographic South Pole, designed to detect cosmic neutrinos, identify the particle nature of dark matter, and study high-energy neutrinos themselves. Simulation of the IceCube detector and processing of data require a significant amount of computational resources. This paper presents the first detailed description of IceProd, a lightweight distributed management system designed to meet these requirements. It is driven by a central database in order to manage mass production of simulations and analysis of data produced by the IceCube detector. IceProd runs as a separate layer on top of other middleware and can take advantage of a variety of computing resources, including grids and batch systems such as CREAM, HTCondor, and PBS. This is accomplished by a set of dedicated daemons that process job submission in a coordinated fashion through the use of middleware plugins that serve to abstract the details of job submission and job management from the framework.

AB Objective To assess the extent of long-term morbidity in children with congenital heart disease (CHD).
Study design We used data from the 1997-2011 National Health Interview Survey to study long-term outcomes in children aged 0-17 years with CHD. Parents were asked whether their child was diagnosed with CHD. We assessed for comorbidities, including autism/autism spectrum disorders; healthcare utilization, including number of emergency room visits; and daily life aspects, including number of days of school missed. These outcomes were compared between children with and without reported CHD using ORs and chi(2) statistics.
Results The study included 420 children with reported CHD and 180 048 children without CHD, with no significant between-group differences in age and sex. The odds of reporting worse health and more than 10 days of school/daycare missed in the previous year were 3 times higher for the children with CHD compared with those without CHD. Children aged 2-17 with CHD were more likely than those without CHD to have had a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (crude OR, 4.6; 95% CI, 1.9-11.0) or intellectual disability (crude OR, 9.1; 95% CI, 5.4-15.4). The rates of emergency room, home, and doctors' office visits were significantly higher in the children with CHD.
Conclusion Reported adverse outcomes were more prevalent in the children with CHD. Our findings, particularly those regarding neurodevelopmental outcomes, may be helpful for parents, healthcare providers, and others in assessing the specific needs of children and teenagers with CHD.

AB The fluorinated electrolyte containing a fluoroether 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl-2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropyl ether (TTE) was investigated as a new electrolyte for lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. The low solubility of lithium polysulfides (LiPS) in the fluorinated electrolyte reduced the parasitic reactions with Li anode and mitigated the self-discharge by limiting their diffusion from the cathode to the anode. The use of fluorinated ether as a co-solvent and LiNO3 as an additive in the electrolyte shows synergetic effect in suppressing the self-discharge of Li-S battery due to the formation of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) on both sulfur cathode and the lithium anode. The Li-S cell with the fluorinated electrolyte showed prolonged shelf life at fully charged state. (C) The Author(s) 2014. Published by ECS.

AB High energy densities of lithium-rich transition metal oxides cannot be sufficiently maintained on cycling due to high-voltage first-cycle activation and the subsequent structural changes. These changes can be seen as a continuous decrease of the average voltage with cycling, known as voltage fade. Electrochemical and chemical insertion of protons has been reported suggesting that protons generated in the electrolyte could be involved in electrochemical cycling which could play a similar role in the "Li2MnO3 component" of lithium rich transition metal oxides. Here, electrochemical insertion of structural protons, changes in lithium occupancy at various states of charge, and changes in local structure have been investigated via a combination of local probes including solid state NMR, X-ray absorption spectroscopy and first principle calculations. While significant evidence is found for the deposition of non-structural proton-bearing species on electrodes, which accumulate with extensive cycling, structural proton insertion is not found to be a significant process directly effecting voltage fade. The electrochemical activity of disordered Li2MnO3, synthesized at low temperature, is also investigated and its Li removal/insertion properties measured quantitatively with NMR. Major reordering of Li sites and subsequent local structural transitions are observed by NMR and are found to be synchronous with voltage fade. (C) 2014 The Electrochemical Society.

AB Energy dispersive X-ray diffraction (EDXRD) with photons of high energy and high flux is used to map crystalline discharge products within alkaline AA cells following discharge at various rates: C/160, C/80, C/40, C/20, C/10, and C/5. During the study, the sealed cells are never opened and thus never exposed to air. The technique's resolution allows the various manganese oxide discharge products to be distinguished, which has previously proven difficult. In particular, colocalized Mn3O4 (hausmannite) and ZnMn2O4 (hetaerolite) phases are resolved at C/160, C/80, and C/40 rates. Following more rapid discharge at C/20, no hausmannite is observed: instead, two well-defined zones result, one consisting only of hetaerolite, and the other only of alpha-MnOOH (groutite), with a small transition region where both phases are detected. Modeling suggests the observed hetaerolite-groutite boundary positions are consistent with hetaerolite formation in regions of greater active material utilization. Radial hetaerolite and hausmannite profiles are calculated and found to be a function of the discharge current, which also determines discharge capacity. Results also show formation of a alpha-MnOOH phase from oxidation states MnO(1.)7 to MnO(1.)53 with relatively little gamma-MnOOH character. (C) 2014 The Electrochemical Society. All rights reserved.

AB The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) at the carbon-conductive polymer-silver (C-cp-Ag) composite electrode in non-aqueous electrolyte with small amounts of added water is the subject of this study. The contributions of the various components of the composite electrode were assessed by employing four electrodes: (1) glassy carbon (C), (2) polypyrrole coated glassy carbon (C-cp), (3) silver disk (Ag), and (4) carbon-polypyrrole-silver composite (C-cp-Ag). Notably, with 5000 ppm of water in non-aqueous solution, the ORR reaction at Ag and C-cp-Ag shows an n = 4 reduction, while ORR at C and C-cp display an n = 1 reduction. The results show that the use of a multilayer C-cp-Ag composite electrode provides the opportunity to achieve the four electron reduction of one O-2 molecule, with a low precious metal (Ag) loading.

TI Unexpected Voltage Fade in LMR-NMC Oxides Cycled below the "Activation"
Plateau

AB A common feature of lithium-excess layered oxides, nominally of composition xLi(2)MnO(3)center dot(1-x)LiMO2 (M = transition metal) is a high-voltage plateau (similar to 4.5 V vs. Li/Li+) in their capacity-voltage profile during the first delithiation cycle. This plateau is believed to result from activation of the Li2MnO3 component, which makes additional lithium available for electrochemical cycling. However, oxides cycled beyond this activation plateau are known to display voltage fade which is a continuous reduction in their equilibrium potential. In this article we show that these oxides display gradual voltage fade even on electrochemical cycling in voltage ranges well below the activation plateau. The average fade is similar to 0.08 mV-cycle(-1) for Li(1.2)Ni(0.1)5Mn(0.5)5Co(0.1)O(2) vs. Li cells after 20 cycles in the 2-4.1 V range at 55 degrees C; a similar to 54 mV voltage hysteresis, expressed as the difference in average cell voltage between charge and discharge cycles, is also observed. The voltage fade results from a gradual accumulation of local spinel environments in the crystal structure. Some of these spinel sites result from lithium deficiencies during oxide synthesis and are likely to be at the particle surfaces; other sites result from the migration of transition metal atoms in the partially-delithiated LiMO2 component into the lithium planes during electrochemical cycling. The observed rate of voltage fade depends on a combination of factors that includes the phase equilibrium between the layered and spinel components and the kinetics of transition metal migration.

AB The shuttling of polysulfide ions between the electrodes in a lithium-sulfur battery is a major technical issue limiting the self-discharge and cycle life of this high-energy rechargeable battery. Although there have been attempts to suppress the shuttling process, there has not been a direct measurement of the rate of shuttling. We report here a simple and direct measurement of the rate of the shuttling (that we term "shuttle current"), applicable to the study of any type of lithium-sulfur cell. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this measurement technique using cells with and without lithium nitrate (a widely-used shuttle suppressor additive). We present a phenomenological analysis of the shuttling process and simulate the shuttle currents as a function of the state-of-charge of a cell. We also demonstrate how the rate of decay of the shuttle current can be used to predict the capacity fade in a lithium-sulfur cell due to the shuttle process. We expect that this new ability to directly measure shuttle currents will provide greater insight into the performance differences observed with various additives and electrode modifications that are aimed at suppressing the rate of shuttling of polysulfide ions and increasing the cycle life of lithium-sulfur cells.

AB Lithium-rich and manganese-rich (LMR) layered transition metal (TM) oxide composites with general formula xLi(2)MnO(3) center dot (1-x)LiMO2 (M = Ni, Co, Mn) are promising cathode candidates for high energy density lithium ion batteries. Lithium-manganese-rich TM oxides crystallize as a nanocomposite layered phase whose structure further evolves with electrochemical cycling. Raman spectroscopy is a powerful tool to monitor the crystal chemistry and correlate phase changes with electrochemical behavior. While several groups have reported Raman spectra of lithium rich TM oxides, the data show considerable variability in terms of both the vibrational features observed and their interpretation. In this study, Raman microscopy is used to investigate lithium-rich and manganese-rich TM cathodes as a function of voltage and electrochemical cycling at various temperatures. No growth of a spinel phase is observed within the cycling conditions. However, analysis of the Raman spectra does indicate the structure of LMR-NMC deviates significantly from an ideal layered phase. The results also highlight the importance of using low laser power and large sample sizes to obtain consistent data sets. (C) The Author(s) 2014. Published by ECS.

AB Materials derived from the layered compound NaTi3O6OH center dot 2H(2)O, also known as "sodium nonatitanate" or NNT, have recently been found to undergo reversible sodium or lithium intercalation processes at very low potentials. While practical discharge capacities in lithium cells can be above 200 mAh/g, making them of interest for high-energy applications, the presence of mobile sodium in the materials complicates the cycling behavior. A simple ion-exchange process prior to incorporation in electrochemical cells removes all sodium ions, producing the lithiated form of the material. The lithiated material (LNT) performs similarly to NNT in lithium cells, although coulombic inefficiencies are somewhat higher. A comparison is made between the behavior of NNT in sodium cells and that of NNT and the lithiated analog in lithium cells. (C) The Author(s) 2014. Published by ECS.

TI Quantitative Chromatographic Determination of Dissolved Elemental Sulfur
in the Non-Aqueous Electrolyte for Lithium-Sulfur Batteries
SO JOURNAL OF THE ELECTROCHEMICAL SOCIETY
LA English
DT Article
ID PERFORMANCE LIQUID-CHROMATOGRAPHY; POLYSULFIDES; REDUCTION; SOLVENTS
AB A fast and reliable analytical method is reported for the quantitative determination of dissolved elemental sulfur in non-aqueous electrolytes for Li-S batteries. By using high performance liquid chromatography with a UV detector, the solubility of S in 12 different pure solvents and in 22 different electrolytes was determined. It was found that the solubility of elemental sulfur is dependent on the Lewis basicity, the polarity of solvents and the salt concentration in the electrolytes. In addition, the S content in the electrolyte recovered from a discharged Li-S battery was successfully determined by the proposed HPLC/UV method. Thus, the feasibility of the method to the online analysis for a Li-S battery is demonstrated. Interestingly, the S was found super-saturated in the electrolyte recovered from a discharged Li-S cell.

AB Elastic properties of polycrystalline stabilized zirconias, namely Yttria Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ) and Scandia, Ceria Stabilized Zirconia (SCSZ), were studied by Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer (DMA) in air. Changes of storage modulus E ', loss modulus E '' and mechanical damping (tan delta) with temperature were simultaneously monitored at various frequencies. In 8 mol% (8YSZ) and 10 mol% (10YSZ) Yttria Stabilized Zirconia, a drop in storage modulus of similar to 37% was observed in the 30 degrees C to 400 degrees C temperature range, together with two frequency dependent damping peaks. While the first tan delta peak can be attributed to the anelastic relaxation of (Y-Zr'V-O(center dot center dot))(center dot) elastic (and dielectric) dipoles, the second one is probably the result of local ordering of oxygen vacancies and/or relaxation of (2Y(Zr)' V-O(center dot center dot))(x) dipoles. For cubic SCSZ, four damping peaks were observed in the similar temperature regime accompanied by significant nonlinear drop of the storage modulus. The first tan delta is attributed to anealstic relaxation of (Sc-Zr' V-O(center dot center dot))(center dot). It was also found that stress induced phase transformation from cubic to rhombohedral structure is the reason for the frequency dependent third peak in the tan delta spectra while the fourth frequency independent peak was found to be the result of the phase transformation from rhombohedral to cubic structure.

AB Four-terminal measurements of impedance spectra have long been troubled by the presence of high frequency artifacts that typically indicate unphysically large inductive behavior. We follow up on the observation of Fleig et al., that voltage and current are necessarily measured in different locations of the potentiostat circuit, and that, typically, the electrometer input is a virtual ground. In this case, the capacitance of coaxial cables that connect sample electrodes to the potentiostat provides a high frequency conduction path to ground, so that some of the current that passes through the sample bypasses the electrometer. In four-electrode measurements, this mechanism produces the observed inductive artifacts. We examine a variety of simulated samples, with calculations compared to measurements of relevant circuits, to quantitatively investigate the nature of the artifacts. Model results agree with measurements when the leakage capacitances are properly included in the circuit analyses. With understanding of the origin of the inductive artifacts, the four-electrode method can be effectively utilized, enabling a combination of two-, three-and four-electrode measurements to be used to best advantage. Using this combination of electrode configurations, temperature dependent measurements of SrTiO3, Y2O3-stabilized ZrO2, and In2O3 films deposited on YSZ substrates are presented.

ID DISTRIBUTION-SYSTEMS
AB Network model detail can influence the accuracy of results from analyses of water distribution systems. Previous work has shown the limitations of skeletonized network models when considering water quality and hydraulic effects. Loss of model detail is potentially less important for aggregated effects such as the systemwide health effects associated with a contamination event, but has received limited attention. The influence of model detail on such effects is examined here by comparing results obtained for contamination events using three large network models and several skeletonized versions of the models. Loss of model detail decreases the accuracy of estimated aggregated adverse effects related to contamination events. It has the potential to have a large negative influence on the results of consequence assessments and the design of contamination warning systems. However, the adverse influence on analysis results can be minimized by restricting attention to high percentile effects (i.e.,95th percentile or higher).

AB Digital microfluidics (DMF) is a powerful technique for sample preparation and analysis for a broad range of biological and chemical applications. In many cases, it is desirable to carry out DMF on an open surface, such that the matrix surrounding the droplets is ambient air. However, the utility of the air-matrix DMF format has been severely limited by problems with droplet evaporation, especially when the droplet-based biochemical reactions require high temperatures for long periods of time. We present a simple solution for managing evaporation in air-matrix DMF: just-in-time replenishment of the reaction volume using droplets of solvent. We demonstrate that this solution enables DMF-mediated execution of several different biochemical reactions (RNA fragmentation, first-strand cDNA synthesis, and PCR) over a range of temperatures (4-95 degrees C) and incubation times (up to 1 h or more) without use of oil, humidifying chambers, or off-chip heating modules. Reaction volumes and temperatures were maintained roughly constant over the course of each experiment, such that the reaction kinetics and products generated by the air-matrix DMF device were comparable to those of conventional benchscale reactions. This simple yet effective solution for evaporation management is an important advance in developing air-matrix DMF for a wide variety of new, high-impact applications, particularly in the biomedical sciences.

AB We have developed a new hybrid droplet-to-digital microfluidic platform (D2D) that integrates droplet-in-channel microfluidics with digital microfluidics (DMF) for performing multi-step assays. This D2D platform combines the strengths of the two formats-droplets-in-channel for facile generation of droplets containing single cells, and DMF for on-demand manipulation of droplets including control of different droplet volumes (pL-mu L), creation of a dilution series of ionic liquid (IL), and parallel single cell culturing and analysis for IL toxicity screening. This D2D device also allows for automated analysis that includes a feedback-controlled system for merging and splitting of droplets to add reagents, an integrated Peltier element for parallel cell culture at optimum temperature, and an impedance sensing mechanism to control the flow rate for droplet generation and preventing droplet evaporation. Droplet-in-channel is well-suited for encapsulation of single cells as it allows the careful manipulation of flow rates of aqueous phase containing cells and oil to optimize encapsulation. Once single cell containing droplets are generated, they are transferred to a DMF chip via a capillary where they are merged with droplets containing IL and cultured at 30 degrees C. The DMF chip, in addition to permitting cell culture and reagent (ionic liquid/salt) addition, also allows recovery of individual droplets for off-chip analysis such as further culturing and measurement of ethanol production. The D2D chip was used to evaluate the effect of IL/salt type (four types: NaOAc, NaCl, [C(2)mim] [OAc], [C(2)mim] [Cl]) and concentration (four concentrations: 0, 37.5, 75, 150 mM) on the growth kinetics and ethanol production of yeast and as expected, increasing IL concentration led to lower biomass and ethanol production. Specifically, [C(2)mim] [OAc] had inhibitory effects on yeast growth at concentrations 75 and 150 mM and significantly reduced their ethanol production compared to cells grown in other ILs/salts. The growth curve trends obtained by D2D matched conventional yeast culturing in microtiter wells, validating the D2D platform. We believe that our approach represents a generic platform for multi-step biochemical assays such as drug screening, digital PCR, enzyme assays, immunoassays and cell-based assays.

AB The stress exponent in the power-law creep of niobium at 1985 degrees C was measured by a non-contact technique using an electrostatic levitation facility at NASA MSFC. This method employs a distribution of stress to allow the stress exponent to be determined from each test, rather than from the curve fit through measurements from multiple samples that is required by conventional methods. The sample is deformed by the centripetal acceleration from the rapid rotation, and the deformed shapes are analyzed to determine the strain. Based on a mathematical proof, which revealed that the stress exponent was determined uniquely by the ratio of the polar to equatorial strains, a series of finite-element analyses with the models of different stress exponents were also performed to determine the stress exponent corresponding to the measured strain ratio. The stress exponent from the ESL experiment showed a good agreement with those from the literature and the conventional creep test.

AB Given their high theoretical specific energy, lithium-oxygen batteries have received enormous attention as possible alternatives to current state-of-the-art rechargeable Li-ion batteries. However, the maximum discharge capacity in nonaqueous lithium-oxygen batteries is limited to a small fraction of its theoretical value due to the build-up of insulating lithium peroxide (Li2O2), the battery's primary discharge product. The discharge capacity can be increased if Li2O2 forms as large toroidal particles rather than as a thin conformal layer. Here, we show that trace amounts of electrolyte additives, such as H2O, enhance the formation of Li2O2 toroids and result in significant improvements in capacity. Our experimental observations and a growth model show that the solvating properties of the additives prompt a solution-based mechanism that is responsible for the growth of Li2O2 toroids. We present a general formalism describing an additive's tendency to trigger the solution process, providing a rational design route for electrolytes that afford larger lithium-oxygen battery capacities.

AB The large uncertainty in soil carbon-climate feedback predictions has been attributed to the incorrect parameterization of decomposition temperature sensitivity (Q(10); ref. 1) and microbial carbon use effciency(2). Empirical experiments have found that these parameters vary spatiotemporally(3-6), but such variability is not included in current ecosystem models(7-13). Here we use a thermodynamically based decomposition model to test the hypothesis that this observed variability arises from interactions between temperature, microbial biogeochemistry, and mineral surface sorptive reactions. We show that because mineral surfaces interact with substrates, enzymes and microbes, both Q(10) and microbial carbon use effciency are hysteretic (so that neither can be represented by a single static function) and the conventional labile and recalcitrant substrate characterization with static temperature sensitivity is flawed. In a 4-K temperature perturbation experiment, our fully dynamic model predicted more variable but weaker soil carbon-climate feedbacks than did the static Q(10) and static carbon use effciency model when forced with yearly, daily and hourly variable temperatures. These results imply that current Earth system models probably overestimate the response of soil carbon stocks to global warming. Future ecosystem models should therefore consider the dynamic interactions between sorptive mineral surfaces, substrates and microbial processes.

AB Natural structural materials are built at ambient temperature from a fairly limited selection of components. They usually comprise hard and soft phases arranged in complex hierarchical architectures, with characteristic dimensions spanning from the nanoscale to the macroscale. The resulting materials are lightweight and often display unique combinations of strength and toughness, but have proven difficult to mimic synthetically. Here, we review the common design motifs of a range of natural structural materials, and discuss the difficulties associated with the design and fabrication of synthetic structures that mimic the structural and mechanical characteristics of their natural counterparts.

AB In the high-temperature (T-c) cuprate superconductors, a growing body of evidence suggests that the pseudogap phase(1), existing below the pseudogap temperature T*, is characterized by some broken electronic symmetries distinct from those associated with superconductivity(2-21). In particular, recent scattering experiments have suggested that charge ordering competes with superconductivity(18-21). However, no direct link of an interplay between the two phases has been identified from the important low-energy excitations. Here, we report an antagonistic singularity at T-c in the spectral weight of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta as compelling evidence for phase competition, which persists up to a high hole concentration p similar to 0.22. Comparison with theoretical calculations confirms that the singularity is a signature of competition between the order parameters for the pseudogap and superconductivity. The observation of the spectroscopic singularity at finite temperatures over a wide doping range provides new insights into the nature of the competitive interplay between the two orders and the complex phase diagram near the pseudogap critical point.

AB Switchable polarization makes ferroelectrics a critical component in memories, actuators and electro-optic devices, and potential candidates for nanoelectronics. Although many studies of ferroelectric switching have been undertaken, much remains to be understood about switching in complex domain structures and in devices. In this work, a combination of thin-film epitaxy, macro- and nanoscale property and switching characterization, and molecular dynamics simulations are used to elucidate the nature of switching in PbZr0.2Ti0.8O3 thin films. Differences are demonstrated between (001)-/(101)- and (111)- oriented films, with the latter exhibiting complex, nanotwinned ferroelectric domain structures with high densities of 90 degrees domain walls and considerably broadened switching characteristics. Molecular dynamics simulations predict both 180 degrees (for (001)-/(101)- oriented films) and 90 degrees multi-step switching (for (111)- oriented films) and these processes are subsequently observed in stroboscopic piezoresponse force microscopy. These results have implications for our understanding of ferroelectric switching and offer opportunities to change domain reversal speed.

AB Icosahedral quasicrystals (IQCs) are a form of matter that is ordered but not periodic in any direction. All reported IQCs are intermetallic compounds and either of face-centred-icosahedral or primitive-icosahedral type, and the positions of their atoms have been resolved from diffraction data. However, unlike axially symmetric quasicrystals, IQCs have not been observed in non-atomic (that is, micellar or nanoparticle) systems, where real-space information would be directly available. Here, we show that an IQC can be assembled by means of molecular dynamics simulations from a one-component system of particles interacting via a tunable, isotropic pair potential extending only to the third-neighbour shell. The IQC is body-centred, self-assembles from a fluid phase, and in parameter space neighbours clathrates and other tetrahedrally bonded crystals. Our findings elucidate the structure and dynamics of the IQC, and suggest routes to search for it and design it in soft matter and nanoscale systems.

AB Past studies have identified herbivory as a likely selection pressure for the evolution of hyperaccumulation, but few have tested the origin(s) of hyperaccumulation in a phylogenetic context. We focused on the evolutionary history of selenium (Se) hyperaccumulation in Stanleya (Brassicaceae). Multiple accessions were collected for all Stanleya taxa and two outgroup species. We sequenced four nuclear gene regions and performed a phylogenetic analysis. Ancestral reconstruction was used to predict the states for Se-related traits in a parsimony framework. Furthermore, we tested the taxa for Se localization and speciation using X-ray microprobe analyses. True hyperaccumulation was found in three taxa within the S.pinnata/bipinnata clade. Tolerance to hyperaccumulator Se concentrations was found in several taxa across the phylogeny, including the hyperaccumulators. X-ray analysis revealed two distinct patterns of leaf Se localization across the genus: marginal and vascular. All taxa accumulated predominantly (65-96%) organic Se with the C-Se-C configuration. These results give insight into the evolution of Se hyperaccumulation in Stanleya and suggest that Se tolerance and the capacity to produce organic Se are likely prerequisites for Se hyperaccumulation in Stanleya.

AB The aromatic carbon structure is a defining property of chars and is often expressed with the help of two concepts: (i) aromaticity and (ii) degree of aromatic condensation. The varying extent of these two features is assumed to largely determine the relatively high persistence of charred material in the environment and is thus of interest for, e.g., biochar characterization or carbon cycle studies. Consequently, a variety of methods has been used to assess the aromatic structure of chars, which has led to interesting insights but has complicated the comparison of data acquired with different methods. We therefore used a suite of seven methods (elemental analysis, MIR spectroscopy, NEXAFS spectroscopy, C-13 NMR spectroscopy, BPCA analysis, lipid analysis and helium pycnometry) and compared 13 measurements from them using a diverse sample set of 38 laboratory chars. Our results demonstrate that most of the measurements could be categorized either into those which assess aromaticity or those which assess the degree of aromatic condensation. A variety of measurements, including relatively inexpensive and simple ones, reproducibly captured the two aromatic features in question, and data from different methods could therefore be compared. Moreover, general patterns between the two aromatic features and the pyrolysis conditions were revealed, supporting reconstruction of the highest heat treatment temperature (HTT) of char.

AB Climate change modulates the effects of solar UV radiation on biogeochemical cycles in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, particularly for carbon cycling, resulting in UV-mediated positive or negative feedbacks on climate. Possible positive feedbacks discussed in this assessment include: (i) enhanced UV-induced mineralisation of above ground litter due to aridification; (ii) enhanced UV-induced mineralisation of photoreactive dissolved organic matter (DOM) in aquatic ecosystems due to changes in continental runoff and ice melting; (iii) reduced efficiency of the biological pump due to UV-induced bleaching of coloured dissolved organic matter (CDOM) in stratified aquatic ecosystems, where CDOM protects phytoplankton from the damaging solar UV-B radiation. Mineralisation of organic matter results in the production and release of CO2, whereas the biological pump is the main biological process for CO2 removal by aquatic ecosystems. This paper also assesses the interactive effects of solar UV radiation and climate change on the biogeochemical cycling of aerosols and trace gases other than CO2, as well as of chemical and biological contaminants. Interacting effects of solar UV radiation and climate change on biogeochemical cycles are particularly pronounced at terrestrial-aquatic interfaces.

AB Using a controllable wet chemical approach, the polyol process, we developed a cobalt carbide nanomagnet consisting of an assembly of Co2C and Co3C nanoparticles as an alternative to rare earth permanent magnets (PMs). The thermodynamically stable mixed phase cobalt carbide nanoparticles are shown to be acicular in morphology. Their exchange-coupled magnetic interaction possessing high maximum energy product of 20.7 kJ m(-3) and room temperature coercivity (2.9 kOe) has been confirmed through vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and first order reversal curves (FORCs). These metastable carbide nanoparticles offer improved magnetic properties compared to their pure bulk form. An understanding of the formation mechanism, using in situ time-resolved X-ray spectroscopy (TR-XAS), and the correlation between phase contributions to the properties are described in detail. Our strategy presents a controllable route to preparing the cobalt carbide nanomagnets, which could be potentially useful in permanent magnet clean energy applications. Additionally, the in situ apparatus offers a promising way to directly explore the effects of reaction variables for high-temperature wet chemical reactions.

AB Li-rich layered Li1+xMnyM1-x-yO2 (or denoted xLi(2)MnO(3)center dot(1-x)LiMO2, M = Ni, Co, Mn, etc.) are promising cathode materials for high energy-density Li-ion batteries. However, their commercial applications suffer from problems such as a drop in the capacity and discharge voltage during cycling. In this work, the cycling performance of a layered oxide Li1.2Ni0.13Co0.13Mn0.54O2 is improved by integration with spinel LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 to obtain a layered-spinel composite. Characterization by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) as well as cyclic voltammetry (CV) indicates that delayed degradation of layered Li2MnO3 and the suppressed growth of LiMn2O4-like spinel are responsible for the performance improvement.

AB Arg, Lys and Asp amino acids are known to play a critical role in the adhesion of the RKLPDA engineered peptide on the (101) surface of the titania anatase phase. To understand their contribution to peptide adhesion, we have considered the relevant charge states due to protonation (Arg and Lys) or deprotonation (Asp) occurring in neutral water solution, and studied their adsorption on the (101) anatase TiO2 surface by ab initio total energy calculations based on density functional theory. The adsorption configurations on the hydrated surface are compared to those on the dry surface considering also the presence of the hydration shell around amino acid side-chains. This study explains how water molecules mediate the adsorption of charged amino acids showing that protonated amino acids are chemically adsorbed much more strongly than de-protonated Asp. Moreover it is shown that the polar screening of the hydration shell reduces the adsorption energy of the protonated amino acids to a small extent, thus evidencing that both Arg and Lys strongly adhere on the (101) anatase TiO2 surface in neutral water solution and that they play a major role in the adhesion of the RKLPDA peptide.

AB The applied potential governs lithium-intercalation and electrode passivation reactions in lithium ion batteries, but are challenging to calibrate in condensed phase DFT calculations. In this work, the "anode potential'' of charge-neutral lithium-intercalated graphite (LiC6) with oxidized edge planes is computed as a function of Li-content (n(Li)) at edge planes, using ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD), a previously introduced Li+ transfer free energy method, and the experimental Li+/Li(s) value as reference. The voltage assignments are corroborated using explicit electron transfer from fluoroethylene carbonate radical anion markers. PF6- is shown to decompose electrochemically (i.e., not just thermally) at low potentials imposed by our voltage calibration technique. We demonstrate that excess electrons reside in localized states-in-the-gap in the organic carbonate liquid region, which is not semiconductor-like (band-state-like) as widely assumed in the literature.

AB Great effort is geared toward investigation of new materials for solar energy conversion in recent years. Polymeric chromophore assemblies consisting of [Ru(bpy)(3)] (2+) complexes attached to a polystyrene backbone have gained considerable interest in recent years because of their structural flexibility combined with their ability to efficiently capture solar energy and transport the captured energy in the form of exciton or charges. We employ a combination of computational methods to examine how opto-electronic properties of [Ru(bpy)(3)](2+) complexes are influenced by the polymer dynamics in these polymeric chromophore assemblies. The covalent linker between the polymer and the light-absorbing Ru complex is thought to play an important role in optimizing the assemblies for solar energy conversion and transport. We find that the presence of -CH2- groups in the linker has a significant impact on the Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital (HOMO) and Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital (LUMO) energies of the pendants. Generally speaking, a longer linker leads to higher HOMO energies. Without the presence of -CH2- groups, a mixture of cis and trans amide bond in the covalent linker leads to a bimodal distribution for both HOMO and LUMO energies. Importantly, we find that distributions of orbital energies from individual [Ru(bpy)(3)](2+) pendants have the maximum overlap when there is only one -CH2- group in the linker. Such an isotropic energy distribution is likely to be important for charge transport within the assemblies. We also find that in contrast to the isolated [Ru(bpy)(3)](2+) complex, the HOMO is generally found on the linker rather than on Ru atom. This does not change the character of the metal- to- ligand charge transfer (MLCT) excited states, as these excitations in the pendants do not derive from HOMO/LUMO transitions but rather from HOMO - 2/LUMO transition since HOMO - 2 is located on the Ru atom.

AB We seek insight into the origin of observations made in plasma experiments mimicking interstellar and circumstellar conditions. To this end theory is applied to the low-energy isomers of C4H2+, C6H2+ and C6H4+ and their formation paths from acetylene and its fragments. Ab initio molecular dynamics trajectories are performed to explore which isomers are readily accessible from acetylene and its ion fragments. Structural information at a high level of electronic structure theory [CCSD(T)/cc-pVTZ], as well as information on the vibrational [UMP2] and electronic spectra [omega B97X] of the low-energy isomers is reported.

AB The detailed understanding of non-faradaic parasitic reactions which diminish battery calendar life is essential to the development of effective batteries for use in long life applications. The dissolution of cathode materials including manganese, cobalt and vanadium oxides in battery systems has been identified as a battery failure mechanism, yet detailed dissolution studies including kinetic analysis are absent from the literature. The results presented here provide a framework for the quantitative and kinetic analyses of the dissolution of cathode materials which will aid the broader community in more fully understanding this battery failure mechanism. In this study, the dissolution of silver vanadium oxide, representing the primary battery powering implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD), is compared with the dissolution of silver vanadium phosphorous oxide (AgwVxPyOz) materials which were targeted as alternatives to minimize solubility. This study contains the first kinetic analyses of silver and vanadium solution formation from Ag0.48VOPO4 center dot 1.9H(2)O and Ag2VP2O8, in a non-aqueous battery electrolyte. The kinetic results are compared with those of Ag2VO2PO4 and Ag2V4O11 to probe the relationships among crystal structure, stoichiometry, and solubility. For vanadium, significant dissolution was observed for Ag2V4O11 as well as for the phosphate oxide Ag0.49VOPO4 center dot 1.9H(2)O, which may involve structural water or the existence of multiple vanadium oxidation states. Notably, the materials from the SVPO family with the lowest vanadium solubility are Ag2VO2PO4 and Ag2VP2O8. The low concentrations and solution rates coupled with their electrochemical performance make these materials interesting alternatives to Ag2V4O11 for the ICD application.

AB Many bacterial pathogens are becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotic treatments, and a detailed understanding of the molecular basis of antibiotic resistance is critical for the development of next-generation approaches for combating bacterial infections. Studies focusing on pathogens have revealed the profile of resistance in these organisms to be due primarily to the presence of multidrug resistance efflux pumps: tripartite protein complexes which span the periplasm bridging the inner and outer membranes of Gram-negative bacteria. An atomic-level resolution tripartite structure remains imperative to advancing our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of pump function using both theoretical and experimental approaches. We develop a fast and consistent method for constructing tripartite structures which leverages existing data-driven models and provide molecular modeling approaches for constructing tripartite structures of multidrug resistance efflux pumps. Our modeling studies reveal that conformational changes in the inner membrane component responsible for drug translocation have limited impact on the conformations of the other pump components, and that two distinct models derived from conflicting experimental data are both consistent with all currently available measurements. Additionally, we investigate putative drug translocation pathways via geometric simulations based on the available crystal structures of the inner membrane pump component, AcrB, bound to two drugs which occupy distinct binding sites: doxorubicin and linezolid. These simulations suggest that smaller drugs may enter the pump through a channel from the cytoplasmic leaflet of the inner membrane, while both smaller and larger drug molecules may enter through a vestibule accessible from the periplasm.

AB A new type of polymer electrolyte has been prepared from the side-chains of ionic liquids (IL) and an analogue of ethylene oxide (EO) directly grafted on a polyethylene oxide backbone. By tuning the two types of monomer composition during polymerization, a series of copolymers with different monomer ratios between IL : EO = 8 : 1 to 1 : 4 have been synthesized. All copolymerized polyionic liquids showed higher ionic conductivity than an IL homopolymer. By choosing a composition with IL : EO = 1 : 1, the corresponding polymer gave the highest conductivity, 1.2 x 10(-4) S cm(-1) at room temperature, compared to 9.3 x 10(-6) S cm(-1) from a homopolymer. We attribute this to one order of magnitude improvement of conductivity from a low glass transition temperature (T-g) below -40 degrees C.

AB The cycling of soil organic matter (SOM) by microorganisms is a critical component of the global carbon cycle but remains poorly understood. There is an emerging view that much of SOM, and especially the dissolved fraction (DOM), is composed of small molecules of plant and microbial origin resulting from lysed cells and released metabolites. Unfortunately, little is known about the small molecule composition of soils and how these molecules are cycled (by microbes or plants or by adsorption to mineral surfaces). The water-extractable organic matter (WEOM) fraction is of particular interest given that this is presumably the most biologically-accessible component of SOM. Here we describe the development of a simple soil metabolomics workflow and a novel spike recovery approach using C-13 bacterial lysates to assess the types of metabolites remaining in the WEOM fraction. Soil samples were extracted with multiple mass spectrometry-compatible extraction buffers (water, 10 mM K2SO4 or NH4HCO3, 10-100% methanol or isopropanol/methanol/water [3:3:2 v/v/v]) with and without prior chloroform vapor fumigation. Profiling of derivatized extracts was performed using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) with 55 metabolites identified by comparing fragmentation patterns and retention times with authentic standards. As expected, fumigation, which is thought to lyse microbial cells, significantly increased the range and abundance of metabolites relative to unfumigated samples. To assess the types of microbial metabolites from lysed bacterial cells that remain in the WEOM fraction, an extract was prepared from the soil bacterium Pseudomonas stutzerii RCH2 grown on C-13 acetate. This approach produced highly labeled metabolites that were easily discriminated from the endogenous soil metabolites. Comparing the composition of the fresh bacterial extract with what was recovered following a 15 min incubation with soil revealed that only 27% of the metabolites showed >50% recovery in the WEOM. Many, especially cations (polyamines) and anions, showed <10% recovery. These represent metabolites that may be inaccessible to microbes in this environment and would be most likely to accumulate as SOM presumably due to binding with minerals and negatively-charged clay particles. This study presents a simple untargeted metabolomics workflow for extractable organic matter and an approach to estimate microbial metabolite availability in soils. These methods can be used to further our understanding of SOM and DOM composition and examine the link between metabolic pathways and microbial communities to terrestrial carbon cycling.

AB Templated sol gel chemistry provides a versatile approach to introduce order and porosity into nanostructured materials. However conventional evaporation induced self assembly techniques are not easily scaled to produce films with sufficient thickness over large areas at the throughput required by electrochromic windows. Here we demonstrate that the principles of sol gel chemistry may be deployed using ultrasonic spray deposition (USD) for scalable synthesis of nanocrystalline WO3 films with unrivaled electrochromic performance. Systematic manipulation of sol chemistry enabled the production of mesoporous films with high specific surface area ( > 100 m(2)/g), mean pore sizes of similar to 5 nm, and narrow pore size distributions. Film thickness is found to be proportional to the sol concentration and number of spray passes, and various combinations are shown to produce films capable of modulating >98% of incident solar radiation in the visible spectrum (450-900 nm). Elimination of haze enables full transmission in the bleached state, while the broadband coloration is attributed to the exceptionally high charge density ( > 120 mC/cm(2)). The materials have good switching speeds which improve with specific surface area, and the long term durability is promising. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB We report on a local potential and resistance mapping of Cu2ZnSnSe4 (CZTSe) films using nm-resolution electrical scanning probe microscopies of scanning Kelvin probe force microscopy and scanning spreading resistance microscopy. We have conducted a comparative study with high-performance Cu-2(In,Ga)Se-2 (CIGSe) film. Both CZTSe and CIGSe were deposited by co-evaporation of elements in vacuum. The results show that the microelectrical properties of the two polycrystalline materials are similar-higher potential and lower resistance on the grain boundaries (GBs) than on grain surfaces-suggesting inverted GB carrier polarity of these films. The consistent GB properties in contrast to the large difference in photovoltaic output of the two materials suggest that factors other than the GBs are responsible for the low photovoltaic output of CZTSe device.

AB The role of pre-electrode deposition annealing on the morphology and the fracture properties of polymer solar cells is discussed. We found an increase in adhesion at the weak P3HT:PCBM/PEDOT:PSS interface with annealing temperature, caused by increased interdiffusion between the organic layers. The formation of micrometer sized PCBM crystallites, which occurs with annealing above the crystallization temperature of PCBM, initially weakened the P3HT:PCBM layer itself. Further annealing improved the cohesion, due to a pull-out toughening mechanism of the growing PCBM clusters. Understanding how the morphology, tuned by annealing, affects the adhesive and cohesive properties in these organic films is essential for the mechanical integrity of OPV devices.

AB With the projected growth in photovoltaics the demand of glass for the solar industry will far exceed the current supply, and thousands of new float-glass plants will have to be built to meet its needs over the next 20 years. Such expansion will provide an opportunity for the solar industry to obtain products better suited to their needs, such as low-iron glass and borosilicate glass at the lowest possible price. While there are no significant technological hurdles that would prevent the flat glass industry from meeting the solar industry's projected needs, to do so will require advance planning and substantial investments.

AB Polycrystalline thin film copper chalcogenide solar cells show remarkable efficiencies, and analogous but less-explored semiconducting materials may hold similar promise. With consideration of elemental abundance and process scalability, we explore the potential of the Cu-Sb-S material system for photovoltaic applications. Using a high-throughput combinatorial approach, Cu-Sb-S libraries were synthesized by magnetron co-sputtering of Cu2S and Sb2S3 targets and evaluated by a suite of spatially resolved characterization techniques. The resulting compounds include Cu1.8S (digenite), Cu12Sb4S13 (tetrahedrite), CuSbS2 (chalcostibite), and Sb2S3 (stibnite). Of the two ternary phases synthesized, CuSbS2 was found to have the most potential, however, when deposited at low temperatures its electrical conductivity varied by several orders of magnitude due to the presence of impurities. To address this issue, we developed a self-regulated approach to synthesize stoichiometric CuSbS2 films using excess Sb2S3 vapor at elevated substrate temperatures. Theoretical calculations explain that phase-pure CuSbS2 is expected to be formed over a relatively wide range of temperatures and pressures, bound by the sublimation of Sb2S3 and decomposition of CuSbS2. The carrier concentration of CuSbS2 films produced within this regime was tunable from 10(16)-10(18) cm(-3) through appropriate control of Sb2S3 flux rate and substrate temperature. CuSbS2 displayed a sharp optical absorption onset indicative of a direct transition at 1.5 eV and an absorption coefficient of 10(5) cm(-1) within 0.3 eV of the onset. The results of this study suggest that CuSbS2 holds promise for solar energy conversion due to its tolerant processing window, tunable carrier concentration, solar-matched band gap, and high absorption coefficient.

AB In this review article, we describe recent progress in the field of protein-based bionanomaterial design with focus on the four well-characterized proteins: mammalian elastin and collagen, and insect-derived silk and resilin. These proteins are important structural components and understanding their physical and biochemical properties has allowed us to not only replicate them but also create novel smart materials. The smart' properties of a material include its ability to self-assemble, respond to stimuli, and/or promote cell interactions. Such properties can be attributed to unique structural modules from elastin, collagen, silk, and resilin as well as functional modules identified from other proteins directly or using display techniques such as phage display. Thus, the goal of this article is to not only emphasize the types of protein-based peptide modules and their uses but also encourage and inspire the reader to create new toolsets of smart polypeptides to overcome their challenges.

AB Approaches to generate porous or doped sensing films, which significantly enhance the photoluminescence (PL) of oxygen optical sensors, and thus improve the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio, are presented. Tailored films, which enable monitoring the relative humidity (RH) as well, are also presented. Effective porous structures, in which the O-2-sensitive dye Pt octaethylporphyrin (PtOEP) or the Pd analog PdOEP was embedded, were realized by first generating blend films of polyethylene glycol (PEG) with polystyrene (PS) or with ethyl cellulose (EC), and then immersing the dried films in water to remove the water-soluble PEG. This approach creates pores (voids) in the sensing films. The dielectric contrast between the films' constituents and the voids increases photon scattering, which in turn increases the optical path of the excitation light within the film, and hence light absorption by the dye, and its PL. Optimized sensing films with a PEG: PS ratio of 1:4 (PEG's molecular weight M-w similar to 8000) led to similar to 4.4 x enhancement in the PL (in comparison to PS films). Lower M-w similar to 200 PEG with a PEG:EC ratio of 1:1 led to a PL enhancement of similar to 4.7 x. Film-dependent PL enhancements were observed at all oxygen concentrations. The strong PL enhancement enables (i) using lower dye (luminophore) concentrations, (ii) reducing power consumption and enhancing the sensor's operational lifetime when using organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) as excitation sources, (iii) improving performance when using compact photodetectors with no internal gain, and (iv) reliably extending the dynamic range.
The effect of RH on O-2 sensing is also presented. Dye: EC films are sensitive to the RH, as shown by the change of the dye's PL decay time with RH at a given O-2 concentration. Surprisingly, this RH sensitivity vanishes by adding PEG to EC, including by washing PEG off. In contrast, doping EC with TiO2 nanoparticles maintains the RH effect with the advantage of significant PL enhancement. This enhancement enables differentiation of < 10% changes in the RH, which is unattained with the dye: EC sensing films. The results are discussed in terms of the composition, thickness, and microstructure, whether porous or nanoparticle doped, of the composite films. (C) 2014 Published by Elsevier B.V.

AB Microbial biomass represents a substantial source of labile C contributing to soil organic matter (SOM) maintenance. Microbial residues may associate with the soil matrix through a variety of mechanisms, reducing its bioavailability and increasing its persistence in soil. Our objective was to examine soil matrix effects on the stability of non-living microbial C inputs in two contrasting forest ecosystems by following microbial residues (Fungi, Actinobacteria, Gram-positive bacteria (Gm +), Gram-negative bacteria (Gm -)) into SOM fractions in a temperate forest in California (CA) and a tropical forest in Puerto Rico (PR) for 3 and 2 years, respectively. We isolated 3 SOM fractions: (i) free light fraction (FLF), (ii) occluded light fraction (OLF), and (iii) dense fraction (DF). Additionally, we characterized SOM fraction chemistry to infer quality and source of native fraction SOM. Our results showed greater stabilization as mineral-associated microbial C (i.e., as DF and OLF), compared with loose detrital C (i.e., FLF). There was no microbial group effect (i.e., differences in fraction C recovery among different microbial cell types). Our findings suggest that mineral association is more important for stabilizing non-living microbial C in soil than the cellular structure of the initial source of microbial inputs, with site specific edaphic factors as the major controllers of the amount of microbial residues stabilized.

AB Acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation was studied using acid-hydrolyzed xylan recovered from hardwood Kraft black liquor by CO2 acidification as the only carbon source. Detoxification of hydrolyzate using activated carbon was conducted to evaluate the impact of inhibitor removal and fermentation. Xylose hydrolysis yields as high as 18.4% were demonstrated at the highest severity hydrolysis condition. Detoxification using active carbon was effective for removal of both phenolics (76-81%) and HMF (38-52%). Batch fermentation of the hydrolyzate and semi-defined P2 media resulted in a total solvent yield of 0.12-0.13 g/g and 0.34 g/g, corresponding to a butanol concentration of 1.8-2.1 g/L and 7.3 g/L respectively. This work is the first study of a process for the production of a biologically-derived biofuel from hemicelluloses solubilized during Kraft pulping and demonstrates the feasibility of utilizing xylan recovered directly from industrial Kraft pulping liquors as a feedstock for biological production of biofuels such as butanol.

AB Advantages of neutron diffraction for metallurgical studies are highlighted with research examples performed on the High Pressure -Preferred Orientation diffractometerat the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center. The previously inconclusive crystallographic structure of the Fe-Al epsilon-phase, stable between 1095 and 1231 degrees C, was determined by in situ neutron diffraction to have the formula Fe5Al8 with a body centred cubic structure of the Hume-Rothery Cu5Zn8 type at 1120 degrees C. As a second example, the effect of variations in accumulative roll bonding processing parameters on interfacial structure, hardness, and thermal stability are explored for lamellar Cu-Nb multilayers with individual layer thicknesses of 20 nm. Furthermore, we derive an explanation for observed texture memory effects during the alpha ->gamma ->alpha transformation cycle in a 0.1% C-1% Mn hot rolled steel sheet from the double Kurdjumov-Sachs relationship. Finally, we present in situ results of a Zr-2.5Nb sample heated into the beta-field and subsequently compressed by 20% via our recently developed creep furnace which uniquely allows deconvolution of the effects of heating, phase transformations, deformation and cooling on the texture evolution.

We demonstrate that potentiostatic control can be used to initiate pitting and that local compositional changes, due to focused ion beam implantation of Au+ ions, can modify the corrosion susceptibility of Al films.

AB In situ infrared (IR) and X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopic investigations reveal that different halide ligands have distinct effects on the aerobic oxidation of Cu(I) to Cu(II) in the presence of TMEDA (tetramethylethylenediamine). The iodide ligand gives the lowest rate and thus leads to the lowest catalytic reaction rate of aerobic oxidation of hydroquinone to benzoquinone. Further DFT calculations suggest that oxidation of CuI-TMEDA involves a side-on transition state, while oxidation of CuCl-TMEDA involves an end-on transition state which has a lower activation energy.

AB The aerobic reaction of the multidentate ligand 2,6-bis-(3-oxo-3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-propionyl)-pyridine, H4L, with Co(II) salts in strong basic conditions produces the clusters [Co-4(L)(2)(OH)(py)(7)]NO3 (1) and [Co8Na4(L)(4)(OH)(2)(CO3)(2)(py)(10)](BF4)(2) (2). Analysis of their structure unveils unusual coordination features including a very rare bridging pyridine ligand or two trapped carbonate anions within one coordination cage, forced to stay at an extremely close distance (d(O center dot center dot center dot O) = 1.946 angstrom). This unprecedented non-bonding proximity represents a meeting point between long covalent interactions and "intermolecular" contacts. These original motifs have been analysed here through DFT calculations, which have yielded interaction energies and the reduced repulsion energy experimented by both CO32 anions when located in close proximity inside the coordination cage.

AB As the third-generation rigid macrocycles evolved from progenitor 1, cyclic aromatic oligoamides 3, with a backbone of reduced constraint, exhibit extremely strong stacking with an astoundingly high affinity (estimated lower limit of K-dimer > 10(13) M-1 in CHCl3), which leads to dispersed tubular stacks that undergo further assembly in solution. Computational study reveals a very large binding energy (-49.77 kcal mol(-1)) and indicates highly cooperative local dipole interactions that account for the observed strength and directionality for the stacking of 3. In the solid-state, X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirms that the aggregation of 3 results in well-aligned tubular stacks. The persistent tubular assemblies of 3, with their non-deformable sub-nm pore, are expected to possess many interesting functions. One such function, transmembrane ion transport, is observed for 3.

AB Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are a rapidly expanding class of hybrid organic-inorganic materials that can be rationally designed and assembled through crystal engineering. The explosion of interest in this subclass of coordination polymers results from their outstanding properties and myriad possible applications, which include traditional uses of microporous materials, such as gas storage, separations, and catalysis, as well as new realms in biomedicine, electronic devices, and information storage. The objective of this Highlight article is to provide the reader with a sense of where the field stands after roughly fifteen years of research. Remarkable progress has been made, but the barriers to practical and commercial advances are also evident. We discuss the basic elements of MOF assembly and present a conceptual hierarchy of structural elements that assists in understanding how unique properties in these materials can be achieved. Structure-function relationships are then discussed; several are now well understood, as a result of the focused efforts of many research groups over the past decade. Prospects for the use of MOFs in membranes, catalysis, biomedicine, and as active components in electronic and photonic devices are also discussed. Finally, we identify the most pressing challenges in our view that must be addressed for these materials to realize their full potential in the marketplace.

AB We report a series of powder X-ray diffraction experiments performed on the soft porous crystals MIL-53(Al) and NH2-MIL-53(Al) in a diamond anvil cell under different pressurization media. Systematic refinements of the obtained powder patterns demonstrate that these materials expand along a specific direction while undergoing total volume reduction under an increasing hydrostatic pressure. The results confirm for the first time the negative linear compressibility behaviour of this family of materials, recently predicted from quantum chemical calculations.

AB Although the enzymes for dissimilatory sulfate reduction by microbes have been studied, the mechanisms for transcriptional regulation of the encoding genes remain unknown. In a number of bacteria the transcriptional regulator Rex has been shown to play a key role as a repressor of genes producing proteins involved in energy conversion. In the model sulfate-reducing microbe Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough, the gene DVU_0916 was observed to resemble other known Rex proteins. Therefore, the DVU_0916 protein has been predicted to be a transcriptional repressor of genes encoding proteins that function in the process of sulfate reduction in D. vulgaris Hildenborough. Examination of the deduced DVU_0916 protein identified two domains, one a winged helix DNA-binding domain common for transcription factors, and the other a Rossman fold that could potentially interact with pyridine nucleotides. A deletion of the putative rex gene was made in D. vulgaris Hildenborough, and transcript expression studies of sat, encoding sulfate adenylyl transferase, showed increased levels in the D. vulgaris Hildenborough Rex (Rex(DvH)) mutant relative to the parental strain. The Rex(DvH)-binding site upstream of sat was identified, confirming RexDvH to be a repressor of sat. We established in vitro that the presence of elevated NADH disrupted the interaction between Rex(DvH) and DNA. Examination of the 5' transcriptional start site for the sat mRNA revealed two unique start sites, one for respiring cells that correlated with the Rex(DvH)-binding site and a second for fermenting cells. Collectively, these data support the role of RexDvH as a transcription repressor for sat that senses the redox status of the cell.

TI Structure-Based Functional Characterization of Repressor of Toxin (Rot),
a Central Regulator of Staphylococcus aureus Virulence

AB Staphylococcus aureus is responsible for a large number of diverse infections worldwide. In order to support its pathogenic lifestyle, S. aureus has to regulate the expression of virulence factors in a coordinated fashion. One of the central regulators of the S. aureus virulence regulatory networks is the transcription factor repressor of toxin (Rot). Rot plays a key role in regulating S. aureus virulence through activation or repression of promoters that control expression of a large number of critical virulence factors. However, the mechanism by which Rot mediates gene regulation has remained elusive. Here, we have determined the crystal structure of Rot and used this information to probe the contribution made by specific residues to Rot function. Rot was found to form a dimer, with each monomer harboring a winged helix-turn-helix (WHTH) DNA-binding motif. Despite an overall acidic pI, the asymmetric electrostatic charge profile suggests that Rot can orient the WHTH domain to bind DNA. Structure-based site-directed mutagenesis studies demonstrated that R-91, at the tip of the wing, plays an important role in DNA binding, likely through interaction with the minor groove. We also found that Y-66, predicted to bind within the major groove, contributes to Rot interaction with target promoters. Evaluation of Rot binding to different activated and repressed promoters revealed that certain mutations on Rot exhibit promoter-specific effects, suggesting for the first time that Rot differentially interacts with target promoters. This work provides insight into a precise mechanism by which Rot controls virulence factor regulation in S. aureus.

AB Creep experiments utilizing a membrane inflation geometry were used to characterize the mechanical properties of pentablock copolymer membranes designed for water purification applications. Membranes were formed by casting from micellar solutions, and structure development during the casting process was followed in real time with grazing incidence small angle X-ray scattering. The thin film morphologies were consistent with previously published results obtained for much thicker solvent cast films. The biaxial creep compliance of the films for applied stresses in the megapascal range increased substantially as the degree of sulfonation and consequent hydration of the middle block was increased. The sulfonation level was much more important than the overall degree of ordering in determining the creep compliance of the hydrated membranes. (C) 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

AB Human epidermal growth factor receptors (HER, also known as ErbB) drive cellular proliferation, pro-survival and stress responses by activating several downstream kinases, in particular ERK, p38 MAPK, JNK (SAPK), the PI3K/AKT, as well as various transcriptional regulators such as STAT3. When co-expressed, the first three members of HER family (HER1-3) can form homo- and hetero-dimers, and there is considerable evidence suggesting that the receptor dimers differentially activate intracellular signaling pathways. To better understand the interactions in this system, we pursued multi-factorial experiments where HER dimerization patterns and signaling pathways were rationally perturbed. We measured the activation of HER1-3 receptors and of the sentinel signaling proteins ERK, AKT, p38 MAPK, JNK, STAT3 as a function of time in a panel of human mammary epithelial (HME) cells expressing different levels of HER1-3 stimulated with various ligand combinations. We hypothesized that the HER dimerization pattern is a better predictor of downstream signaling than the total receptor activation levels. We validated this hypothesis using a combination of model-based analysis to quantify the HER dimerization patterns, and by clustering the activation data in multiple ways to confirm that the HER receptor dimer is a better predictor of the signaling through p38 MAPK, ERK and AKT pathways than the total HER receptor expression and activation levels. We then pursued combinatorial inhibition studies to identify the causal regulatory interactions between sentinel signaling proteins. Quantitative analysis of the collected data using the modular response analysis (MRA) and its Bayesian Variable Selection Algorithm (BVSA) version allowed us to obtain a consensus regulatory interaction model, which revealed that STAT3 occupies a central role in the crosstalk between the studied pathways in HME cells. Results of the BVSA/MRA and cluster analysis were in agreement with each other.

AB Genetic modification of plants via down-regulation of cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase leads to incorporation of aldehyde groups in the lignin polymer. The resulting lignocellulosic biomass has increased bioethanol yield. However, a molecular-scale explanation of this finding is currently lacking. Here, we perform molecular dynamics simulation of the copolymer with hemicellulose of wild type and the genetically modified lignin, in aqueous solution. We find that the non-covalent association with hemicellulose of lignin containing aldehyde groups is reduced compared to the wild-type. This phase separation may increase the cell wall porosity in the mutant plants, thus explaining their easier deconstruction to biofuels. The thermodynamic origin of the reduced lignin-hemicellulose association is found to be a more favorable self-interaction energy and less favorable interaction with hemicellulose for the mutant lignin. Furthermore, reduced hydration water density fluctuations are found for the mutant lignin, implying a more hydrophobic lignin surface. The results provide a detailed description of how aldehyde incorporation makes lignin more hydrophobic and reduces its association with hemicellulose, thus suggesting that increased lignin hydrophobicity may be an optimal characteristic required for improved biofuel production.

AB The amorphous titanium dioxide (a-TiO2) has drawn attention recently due to the finding that it holds promise for coating conventional photoelectrodes for corrosion protection while still allowing the holes to transport to the surface. The mechanism of hole conductivity at a level much higher than the edge of the valence band is still a mystery. In this work, an amorphous TiO2 model is obtained from molecular dynamics employing the "melt-and-quench'' technique. The electronic properties, polaronic states and the hole conduction mechanism in amorphous structure were investigated by means of density functional theory with Hubbard's energy correction (DFT + U) and compared to those in crystalline (rutile) TiO2. The formation energy of the oxygen vacancy was found to reduce significantly (by a few eV) upon amorphization. Our theoretical study suggested that the oxygen vacancies and their defect states provide hopping channels, which are comparable to experimental observations and could be responsible for hole conduction in the "leaky'' TiO2 recently discovered for the photochemical water-splitting applications.

AB The electron affinities of C-70 derivatives with trifluoromethyl, methyl and cyano groups were studied experimentally and theoretically using low-temperature photoelectron spectroscopy (LT PES) and density functional theory (DFT). The electronic effects of these functional groups were determined and found to be highly dependent on the addition patterns. Substitution of CF3 for CN for the same addition pattern increases the experimental electron affinity by 70 meV per substitution. The synthesis of a new fullerene derivative, C-70(CF3)(10)(CN)(2), is reported for the first time.

AB The phase stability, electronic structure, elastic and metallic properties of manganese nitrides (Mn4N, Mn2N0.86, Mn3N2, and MnN) were extensively studied by first principles calculations. The negative values of cohesive energy and formation enthalpy show that these compounds are thermodynamically stable. The bonding of Manganese nitrides is the combinations of covalent and metallic bonds. In addition, a strong hybridization exists nearby the Fermi level, being characteristic of N-p and Mn-d states. The elastic properties of these nitrides (Mn4N, Mn2N0.86, and MnN) were calculated, which included bulk modulus, shear modulus, Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, and hardness. The calculated results reveal that Mn2N0.86 and MnN are ductile while Mn4N is brittle, and the hardness values of these nitrides are 24.35 GPa, 12.01 GPa, and 17.06 GPa, respectively. The MnN compound has the highest Debye temperature (632.1 K), while Mn2N0.86 has the lowest Debye temperature (390.5 K). The anisotropy of Young's modulus for Mn4N and MnN compounds is more prominent than Mn2N0.86 at the three crystalline planes. Moreover, the compound of Mn3N2 has an unstable structure in mechanical stability.

AB The detailed structural and mechanical properties of a tetraoleoyl cardiolipin (TOCL) bilayer were determined using neutron spin echo (NSE) spectroscopy, small angle neutron and X-ray scattering (SANS and SAXS, respectively), and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. We used MD simulations to develop a scattering density profile (SDP) model, which was then utilized to jointly refine SANS and SAXS data. In addition to commonly reported lipid bilayer structural parameters, component distributions were obtained, including the volume probability, electron density and neutron scattering length density. Of note, the distance between electron density maxima D-HH (39.4 angstrom) and the hydrocarbon chain thickness 2D(C) (29.1 angstrom) of TOCL bilayers were both found to be larger than the corresponding values for dioleoyl phosphatidylcholine (DOPC) bilayers. Conversely, TOCL bilayers have a smaller overall bilayer thickness D-B (36.7 angstrom), primarily due to their smaller headgroup volume per phosphate. SDP analysis yielded a lipid area of 129.8 angstrom(2), indicating that the cross-sectional area per oleoyl chain in TOCL bilayers (i.e., 32.5 angstrom(2)) is smaller than that for DOPC bilayers. Multiple sets of MD simulations were performed with the lipid area constrained at different values. The calculated surface tension versus lipid area resulted in a lateral area compressibility modulus K-A of 342 mN m(-1), which is slightly larger compared to DOPC bilayers. Model free comparison to experimental scattering data revealed the best simulated TOCL bilayer from which detailed molecular interactions were determined. Specifically, Na+ cations were found to interact most strongly with the glycerol hydroxyl linkage, followed by the phosphate and backbone carbonyl oxygens. Inter-and intra-lipid interactions were facilitated by hydrogen bonding between the glycerol hydroxyl and phosphate oxygen, but not with the backbone carbonyl. Finally, analysis of the intermediate scattering functions from NSE spectroscopy measurements of TOCL bilayers yielded a bending modulus K-C of 1.06 x 10(-19) J, which was larger than that observed in DOPC bilayers. Our results show the physicochemical properties of cardiolin bilayers that may be important in explaining their functionality in the inner mitochondrial membrane.
