TI Impact of Resistance Mutations on Inhibitor Binding to HIV-1 Integrase

AB HIV-1 integrase (IN) is essential for HIV-1 replication, catalyzing two key reaction steps termed 3' processing and strand transfer. Therefore, IN has become an important target for antiviral drug discovery. However, mutants have emerged, such as E92Q/N155H and G140S/Q148H, which confer resistance to raltegravir (RAL), the first IN strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI) approved by the FDA, and to the recently approved elvitegravir (EVG). To gain insights into the molecular mechanisms of ligand binding and drug resistance, we performed molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of homology models of the HIV-1 IN and four relevant mutants complexed with viral DNA and RAL. The results show that the structure and dynamics of the 140s' loop, comprising residues 140 to 149, are strongly influenced by the IN mutations. In the simulation of the G140S/Q148H double mutant, we observe spontaneous dissociation of RAL from the active site, followed by an intrahelical swing-back of the 3'-OH group of nucleotide A17, consistent with the experimental observation that the G140S/Q148H mutant exhibits the highest resistance to RAL compared to other IN mutants. An important hydrogen bond between residues 145 and 148 is present in the wild-type IN but not in the G140S/Q148H mutant, accounting for the structural and dynamical differences of the 140s' loop and ultimately impairing RAL binding in the double mutant. End-point free energy calculations that broadly capture the experimentally known RAL binding profiles elucidate the contributions of the 140s' loop to RAL binding free energies and suggest possible approaches to overcoming drug resistance.

AB The Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) SN 2000cx was one of the most peculiar transients ever discovered, with a rise to maximum brightness typical of a SN Ia, but a slower decline and a higher photospheric temperature. 13 yr later SN 2013bh (also known as iPTF13abc), a near identical twin, was discovered and we obtained optical and near-infrared photometry and low-resolution optical spectroscopy from discovery until about 1 month past r-band maximum brightness. The spectra of both objects show iron-group elements [Co ii, Ni ii, Fe ii, Fe iii and high-velocity features (HVFs) of Ti ii], intermediate-mass elements (Si ii, Si iii and S ii) and separate normal velocity features (similar to 12 000 km s(-1)) and HVFs (similar to 24 000 km s(-1)) of Ca ii. Persistent absorption from Fe iii and Si iii, along with the colour evolution, implies high blackbody temperatures for SNe 2013bh and 2000cx (similar to 12 000 K). Both objects lack narrow Na i D absorption and exploded in the outskirts of their hosts, indicating that the SN environments were relatively free of interstellar or circumstellar material and may imply that the progenitors came from a relatively old and low-metallicity stellar population. Models of SN 2000cx, seemingly applicable to SN 2013bh, imply the production of up to similar to 1 M-circle dot of Ni-56 and (4.3-5.5) x 10(-3) M-circle dot of fast-moving Ca ejecta.

TI An early and comprehensive millimetre and centimetre wave and X-ray

AB Only a handful of supernovae (SNe) have been studied in multiwavelengths from the radio to X-rays, starting a few days after the explosion. The early detection and classification of the nearby Type IIb SN 2011dh/PTF 11eon in M51 provides a unique opportunity to conduct such observations. We present detailed data obtained at one of the youngest phase ever of a core-collapse SN (days 3-12 after the explosion) in the radio, millimetre and X-rays; when combined with optical data, this allows us to explore the early evolution of the SN blast wave and its surroundings. Our analysis shows that the expanding SN shock wave does not exhibit equipartition (epsilon(e)/epsilon(B) similar to 1000), and is expanding into circumstellar material that is consistent with a density profile falling like R-2. Within modelling uncertainties we find an average velocity of the fast parts of the ejecta of 15 000 +/- 1800 km s(-1), contrary to previous analysis. This velocity places SN 2011dh in an intermediate blast wave regime between the previously defined compact and extended SN Type IIb subtypes. Our results highlight the importance of early (similar to 1 d) high-frequency observations of future events. Moreover, we show the importance of combined radio/X-ray observations for determining the microphysics ratio epsilon(e)/epsilon(B).

AB We present a fully self-consistent simulation of a synthetic survey of the furthermost cosmic explosions. The appearance of the first generation of stars (Population III) in the Universe represents a critical point during cosmic evolution, signalling the end of the dark ages, a period of absence of light sources. Despite their importance, there is no confirmed detection of Population III stars so far. A fraction of these primordial stars are expected to die as pair-instability supernovae (PISNe), and should be bright enough to be observed up to a few hundred million years after the big bang. While the quest for Population III stars continues, detailed theoretical models and computer simulations serve as a testbed for their observability. With the upcoming near-infrared missions, estimates of the feasibility of detecting PISNe are not only timely but imperative. To address this problem, we combine state-of-the-art cosmological and radiative simulations into a complete and self-consistent framework, which includes detailed features of the observational process. We show that a dedicated observational strategy using less than or similar to 8 per cent of the total allocation time of the James Webb Space Telescope mission can provide us with up to similar to 9-15 detectable PISNe per year.

AB We measure the sum of the neutrino particle masses using the three-dimensional galaxy power spectrum of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III (SDSS-III) Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey Data Release 9 the constant MASS (CMASS) galaxy sample. Combined with the cosmic microwave background, supernova and additional baryonic acoustic oscillation data, we find upper 95 per cent confidence limits (CL) of the neutrino mass Sigma m(nu) < 0.340 eV within a flat Lambda cold dark matter (Lambda CDM) background, and Sigma m(nu) < 0.821 eV, assuming a more general background cosmological model. The number of neutrino species is measured to be N-eff = 4.308 +/- 0.794 and 4.032(-0.894)(+0.870) for these two cases, respectively. We study and quantify the effect of several factors on the neutrino measurements, including the galaxy power spectrum bias model, the effect of redshift-space distortion, the cut-off scale of the power spectrum and the choice of additional data. The impact of neutrinos with unknown masses on other cosmological parameter measurements is investigated. The fractional matter density and the Hubble parameter are measured to be Omega(M) = 0.2796 +/- 0.0097, H-0 = 69.72(-0.91)(+0.90) km s(-1) Mpc(-1) (flat ACDM) and Omega(M) = 0.2798(-0.0136)(+0.0132) km s(-1) Mpc(-1) (more general background model). Based on a Chevallier-Polarski-Linder parametrization of the equation-of-state w of dark energy, we find that w = -1 is consistent with observations, even allowing for neutrinos. Similarly, the curvature (K) and the running of the spectral index alpha(s) are both consistent with zero. The tensor-to-scalar ratio is constrained down to r < 0.198 (95 per cent CL, flat Lambda CDM) and r < 0.440 (95 per cent CL, more general background model).

AB The performance of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells is limited by the reduction at the cathode of various oxygenated intermediates in the four-electron pathway of the oxygen reduction reaction. Here we use ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and directly probe the correlation between the adsorbed species on the surface and the electrochemical potential. We demonstrate that, during the oxygen reduction reaction, hydroxyl intermediates on the cathode surface occur in several configurations with significantly different structures and reactivities. In particular, we find that near the open-circuit potential, non-hydrated hydroxyl is the dominant surface species. On the basis of density functional theory calculations, we show that the removal of hydration enhances the reactivity of oxygen species. Tuning the hydration of hydroxyl near the triple phase boundary will be crucial for designing more active fuel cell cathodes.

AB The growing miniaturization demand of magnetic devices is fuelling the recent interest in bi-magnetic nanoparticles as ultimate small components. One of the main goals has been to reproduce practical magnetic properties observed so far in layered systems. In this context, although useful effects such as exchange bias or spring magnets have been demonstrated in core/shell nanoparticles, other interesting key properties for devices remain elusive. Here we show a robust antiferromagnetic (AFM) coupling in core/shell nanoparticles which, in turn, leads to the foremost elucidation of positive exchange bias in bi-magnetic hard-soft systems and the remarkable regulation of the resonance field and amplitude. The AFM coupling in iron oxide-manganese oxide based, soft/hard and hard/soft, core/shell nanoparticles is demonstrated by magnetometry, ferromagnetic resonance and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism. Monte Carlo simulations prove the consistency of the AFM coupling. This unique coupling could give rise to more advanced applications of bi-magnetic core/shell nanoparticles.

AB Solution-processed semiconductor quantum dot solar cells offer a path towards both reduced fabrication cost and higher efficiency enabled by novel processes such as hot-electron extraction and carrier multiplication. Here we use a new class of low-cost, low-toxicity CuInSexS2-x quantum dots to demonstrate sensitized solar cells with certified efficiencies exceeding 5%. Among other material and device design improvements studied, use of a methanol-based polysulfide electrolyte results in a particularly dramatic enhancement in photocurrent and reduced series resistance. Despite the high vapour pressure of methanol, the solar cells are stable for months under ambient conditions, which is much longer than any previously reported quantum dot sensitized solar cell. This study demonstrates the large potential of CuInSexS2-x quantum dots as active materials for the realization of low-cost, robust and efficient photovoltaics as well as a platform for investigating various advanced concepts derived from the unique physics of the nanoscale size regime.

TI Surface electronic structure of the topological Kondo-insulator
candidate correlated electron system SmB6
SO NATURE COMMUNICATIONS

ID EXCITATIONS
AB The Kondo insulator SmB6 has long been known to exhibit low-temperature transport anomalies whose origin is of great interest. Here we uniquely access the surface electronic structure of the anomalous transport regime by combining state-of-the-art laser and synchrotron-based angle-resolved photoemission techniques. We observe clear in-gap states (up to similar to 4 meV), whose temperature dependence is contingent on the Kondo gap formation. In addition, our observed in-gap Fermi surface oddness tied with the Kramers' point topology, their coexistence with the two-dimensional transport anomaly in the Kondo hybridization regime, as well as their robustness against thermal recycling, taken together, collectively provide strong evidence for protected surface metallicity with a Fermi surface whose topology is consistent with the theoretically predicted topological Fermi surface. Our observations of systematic surface electronic structure provide the fundamental electronic parameters for the anomalous Kondo ground state of correlated electron material SmB6.

MECHANISM
AB Bacterial chemoreceptors are widely used as a model system for elucidating the molecular mechanisms of transmembrane signalling and have provided a detailed understanding of how ligand binding by the receptor modulates the activity of its associated kinase CheA. However, the mechanisms by which conformational signals move between signalling elements within a receptor dimer and how they control kinase activity remain unknown. Here, using long molecular dynamics simulations, we show that the kinase-activating cytoplasmic tip of the chemoreceptor fluctuates between two stable conformations in a signal-dependent manner. A highly conserved residue, Phe396, appears to serve as the conformational switch, because flipping of the stacked aromatic rings of an interacting F396-F396' pair in the receptor homodimer takes place concomitantly with the signal-related conformational changes. We suggest that interacting aromatic residues, which are common stabilizers of protein tertiary structure, might serve as rotameric molecular switches in other biological processes as well.

TI Doping dependence of spin excitations and its correlations with
high-temperature superconductivity in iron pnictides
SO NATURE COMMUNICATIONS
LA English
DT Article
ID NEUTRON-SCATTERING; PAIRING INTERACTION; CONDENSATION; MECHANISM; ENERGY
AB High-temperature superconductivity in iron pnictides occurs when electrons and holes are doped into their antiferromagnetic parent compounds. Since spin excitations may be responsible for electron pairing and superconductivity, it is important to determine their electron/hole-doping evolution and connection with superconductivity. Here we use inelastic neutron scattering to show that while electron doping to the antiferromagnetic BaFe2As2 parent compound modifies the low-energy spin excitations and their correlation with superconductivity (<50 meV) without affecting the high-energy spin excitations (>100 meV), hole-doping suppresses the high-energy spin excitations and shifts the magnetic spectral weight to low-energies. In addition, our absolute spin susceptibility measurements for the optimally hole-doped iron pnictide reveal that the change in magnetic exchange energy below and above T-c can account for the superconducting condensation energy. These results suggest that high-T-c superconductivity in iron pnictides is associated with both the presence of high-energy spin excitations and a coupling between low-energy spin excitations and itinerant electrons.

TI Revised Knudsen-layer reduction of fusion reactivity
SO PHYSICS OF PLASMAS
LA English
DT Article
AB Recent work by Molvig et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 095001 (2012)] examined how fusion reactivity may be reduced from losses of fast ions in finite assemblies of fuel. In this paper, this problem is revisited with the addition of an asymptotic boundary-layer treatment of ion kinetic losses. This boundary solution, reminiscent of the classical Milne problem from linear transport theory, obtains a free-streaming limit of fast ion losses near the boundary, where the diffusion approximation is invalid. Thermonuclear reaction rates have been obtained for the ion distribution functions predicted by this improved model. It is found that while Molvig's "Knudsen distribution function" bounds from above the magnitude of the reactivity reduction, this more accurate treatment leads to less dramatic losses of tail ions and associated reduction of thermonuclear reaction rates for finite fuel volumes.

AB The counterpropagating shear experiment has previously demonstrated the ability to create regions of shock-driven shear, balanced symmetrically in pressure, and experiencing minimal net drift. This allows for the creation of a high-Mach-number high-energy-density shear environment. New data from the counterpropagating shear campaign is presented, and both hydrocode modeling and theoretical analysis in the context of a Reynolds-averaged-Navier-Stokes model suggest turbulent dissipation of energy from the supersonic flow bounding the layer is a significant driver in its expansion. A theoretical minimum shear flow Mach number threshold is suggested for substantial thermal-turbulence coupling. (C) 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.

AB Recently it was proposed [L. R. Grisham et al. Phys. Plasmas 19, 023107 (2012)] that one of the initiators of vacuum voltage breakdown between conducting electrodes might be micro-organisms and their spores, previously deposited during exposure to air, which then become electrostatically charged when an electric potential is applied across the vacuum gap. This note describes a simple experiment to compare the number of voltage-conditioning pulses required to reach the nominal maximum operating voltage across a gap between two metallic conductors in a vacuum, comparing cases in which biological cleaning was done just prior to pump-down with cases where this was not done, with each case preceded by exposure to ambient air for three days. Based upon these results, it does not appear that air-deposited microbes and their spores constitute a major pathway for arc initiation, at least for exposure periods of a few days, and for vacuum gaps of a few millimeters, in the regime where voltage holding is usually observed to vary linearly with gap distance.

Here, we study mode conversion in warm, magnetized plasmas using a numerical electron fluid simulation code when the density gradient has a wide range of angle, delta, to the ambient magnetic field, B-0, for a range of incident Langmuir/z wavevectors. Our results include: (1) Left-handed polarized ordinary (oL) and right-handed polarized extraordinary (xR) mode waves are produced in various ranges of delta for Omega(0) = (omega L/c)(1/3)(omega(ce)/omega) < 1.5, where omega(ce) is the (angular) electron cyclotron frequency, omega is the angular wave frequency, L is the length scale of the (linear) density gradient, and c is the speed of light; (2) the xR mode is produced most strongly in the range, 40 degrees < delta < 60 degrees, for intermediately magnetized plasmas with Omega(0) = 1.0 and 1.5, while it is produced over a wider range, 0 degrees <= delta <= 90 degrees, for weakly magnetized plasmas with Omega(0) = 0.1 and 0.7; (3) the maximum total conversion efficiencies for wave power from the Langmuir/z mode to radiation are of order 50%-99% and the corresponding energy conversion efficiencies are 5%-14% (depending on the adiabatic index gamma and beta = T-e/m(e)c(2), where T-e is the electron temperature and m(e) is the electron) for various Omega(0); (4) the mode conversion window becomes wider as Omega(0) and delta increase. Hence, the results in this paper confirm that linear mode conversion under these conditions can explain the weak total circular polarization of interplanetary type II and III solar radio bursts because a strong xR mode can be generated via linear mode conversion near delta similar to 45 degrees.

AB This paper presents a calculation of neoclassical toroidal viscous torque independent of large-aspect-ratio expansions across kinetic regimes. The Perturbed Equilibrium Nonambipolar Transport (PENT) code was developed for this purpose, and is compared to previous combined regime models as well as regime specific limits and a drift kinetic delta f guiding center code. It is shown that retaining general expressions, without circular large-aspect-ratio or other orbit approximations, can be important at experimentally relevant aspect ratio and shaping. The superbanana plateau, a kinetic resonance effect recently recognized for its relevance to ITER, is recovered by the PENT calculations and shown to require highly accurate treatment of geometric effects.

AB Beam loading in laser-plasma accelerators using a near-hollow plasma channel is examined in the linear wake regime. It is shown that, by properly shaping and phasing the witness particle beam, high-gradient acceleration can be achieved with high-efficiency, and without induced energy spread or emittance growth. Both electron and positron beams can be accelerated in this plasma channel geometry. Matched propagation of electron beams can be achieved by the focusing force provided by the channel density. For positron beams, matched propagation can be achieved in a hollow plasma channel with external focusing. The efficiency of energy transfer from the wake to a witness beam is calculated for single ultra-short bunches and bunch trains. (C) 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.

TI X-ray driven channeling acceleration in crystals and carbon nanotubes
SO PHYSICS OF PLASMAS
LA English
DT Article
AB Acceleration of particles channeling in a crystal by means of diffracted x-rays via Bormann anomalous transmission was conceived for heavy ions and muons by Tajima and Cavenago [Phys. Rev. Lett. 59, 1440 (1987)], which potentially offers an appreciably high field gradient on the order of GV/cm. The theoretical model of the high gradient acceleration has been studied in two kinds of atomic structure, crystals and carbon nanotubes (CNTs), with analytic calculations and electromagnetic eigenmode simulations. A range of acceleration gradients and cutoffs of the x-ray power (the lowest power limit to overcome the Bremsstrahlung radiation losses) are characterized in terms of the lattice constants, unit cell sizes, and photon energies. The parametric analysis indicates that the required x-ray power can be reduced to an order of megawatt by replacing crystals with CNTs. Eventually, the equivalent dielectric approximation of a multi-wall nanotube shows that 250-810 MeV muons can be synchronously coupled with x-rays of 0.65-1.32 keV in the accelerating structure.

ID SOLAR CORONA; NULLS; LINES
AB We investigate the distribution of parallel electric fields and their relationship to the location and rate of magnetic reconnection in a large particle-in-cell simulation of 3D turbulent magnetic reconnection with open boundary conditions. The simulation's guide field geometry inhibits the formation of simple topological features such as null points. Therefore, we derive the location of potential changes in magnetic connectivity by finding the field lines that experience a large relative change between their endpoints, i.e., the quasi-separatrix layer. We find a good correspondence between the locus of changes in magnetic connectivity or the quasi-separatrix layer and the map of large gradients in the integrated parallel electric field (or quasi-potential). Furthermore, we investigate the distribution of the parallel electric field along the reconnecting field lines. We find the reconnection rate is controlled by only the low-amplitude, zeroth and first-order trends in the parallel electric field while the contribution from fluctuations of the parallel electric field, such as electron holes, is negligible. The results impact the determination of reconnection sites and reconnection rates in models and in situ spacecraft observations of 3D turbulent reconnection. It is difficult through direct observation to isolate the loci of the reconnection parallel electric field amidst the large amplitude fluctuations. However, we demonstrate that a positive slope of the running sum of the parallel electric field along the field line as a function of field line length indicates where reconnection is occurring along the field line.

AB Kinetic simulations based on a reduced model are carried out to study dynamic evolutions of multiple toroidicity-induced shear Alfven eigenmodes driven by energetic particles. It is found that passing and trapped particles play quite different roles on the mode evolution. For cases without background damping, passing particles lead to a longer linear growth phase and subsequent enhancement of the nonlinear saturation level when resonant regions with two modes are closely overlapped. On the other hand, trapped particles are mainly responsible for the persistent mode growth in the nonlinear phase. By comparing the results from anisotropic and isotropic simulations, it is suggested that passing particles have a negative impact on the mode development in the nonlinear phase. For the near marginal stability cases with large background damping, the upward and downward frequency chirping in multiple branches are significantly affected by the multi-mode interaction due to overlapping of hole and clump in the distribution function.

AB To characterize tidally influenced Wood Stork foraging habitats, we documented the physical structure and potential prey populations of 17 known (based primarily on satellite telemetry locations) foraging and 20 "alternate" (similar habitat) sites, tidal creeks, in coastal Georgia. The majority of sites contained reaches partially impounded by three landscape features: oyster-shell dams, root/mud dams, or the junction of two or more creeks. Potential prey species, dominated by Fundulus hetereclitus (Mummichog) and shrimp, were highly variable among the tidal habitats but generally occurred in densities (average > 140 individuals/m(2)) far greater than those observed in an earlier inland Georgia study. There were no differences in potential prey densities between known foraging and alternate sites, confirming that the large salt marsh region of Georgia provides excellent foraging habitat for the regional Wood Stork population.

AB We study sequential formulations for coupled multiphase flow and reservoir geomechanics. First, we identify the proper definition of effective stress in multiphase-fluid systems. Although the average pore-pressure (p) over bar -defined as the sum of the product of saturation and pressure of all the fluid phases that occupy the pore space-is commonly used to describe multiphase-fluid flow in deformable porous media, it can be shown that the "equivalent" pore pressure p(E)-defined as (p) over bar minus the interfacial energy-is the appropriate quantity (Coussy 2004). We show, by means of a fully implicit analysis of the system, that only the equivalent pore pressure P-E leads to a continuum problem that is thermodynamically stable (thus, numerical discretizations on the basis of the average pore pressure (p) over bar, cannot render unconditionally stable and convergent schemes). We then study the convergence and stability properties of sequential-implicit coupling strategies. We show that the stability and convergence properties of sequential-implicit coupling strategies for single-phase flow carry over for multiphase systems if the equivalent pore pressure p(E) is used. Specifically, the undrained and fixed-stress schemes are unconditionally stable, and the fixed-stress split is superior to the undrained approach in terms of convergence rate. The findings from stability theory are verified by use of nonlinear simulations of two-phase flow in deformable reservoirs.

AB The toxicokinetics of trenbolone was characterized during 500ng/l water exposures in female rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas). Related experiments measured various toxicodynamic effects of exposure. In both species, trenbolone was rapidly absorbed from the water and reached peak plasma levels within 8h of exposure. Afterwards, trenbolone concentrations in trout (6695ng/ml) were 26 times higher compared with minnows (1529ng/ml), which was attributable to greater plasma binding in trout. During water exposures, circulating levels of estradiol (E2) rapidly decreased in both species to a concentration that was 25%40% of control values by 824h of exposure and then remained relatively unchanged for the subsequent 6 days of exposure. In trout, changes in circulating levels of follicle-stimulating hormone were also significantly greater after trenbolone exposure, relative to controls. In both species, the pharmacokinetics of injected E2-d(3) was altered by trenbolone exposure with an increase in total body clearance and a corresponding decrease in elimination half-life. The unbound percentage of E2 in trout plasma was 0.25%, which was similar in pre- or postvitellogenic female trout. Subsequent incubation with trenbolone caused the unbound percentage to significantly increase to 2.4% in the previtellogenic trout plasma. iTRAQ-based toxicoproteomic studies in minnows exposed to 5, 50, and 500ng/l trenbolone identified a total of 148 proteins with 19 downregulated including vitellogenin and 18 upregulated. Other downregulated proteins were fibrinogens, -2-macroglobulin, and transferrin. Upregulated proteins included amine oxidase, apolipoproteins, parvalbumin, complement system proteins, and several uncharacterized proteins. The results indicate trenbolone exposure is a highly dynamic process in female fish with uptake and tissue equilibrium quickly established, leading to both rapid and delayed toxicodynamic effects.

AB The Marcellus Shale is considered to be the largest unconventional shale-gas resource in the United States. Two critical factors for unconventional shale reservoirs are the response of a unit to hydraulic fracture stimulation and gas content. The fracture attributes reflect the geomechanical properties of the rocks, which are partly related to rock mineralogy. The natural gas content of a shale reservoir rock is strongly linked to organic matter content, measured by total organic carbon (TOC). A mudstone lithofacies is a vertically and laterally continuous zone with similar mineral composition, rock geomechanical properties, and TOC content. Core, log, and seismic data were used to build a three-dimensional (3-D) mudrock lithofacies model from core to wells and, finally, to regional scale. An artificial neural network was used for lithofacies prediction. Eight petrophysical parameters derived from conventional logs were determined as critical inputs. Advanced logs, such as pulsed neutron spectroscopy, with log-determined mineral composition and TOC data were used to improve and confirm the quantitative relationship between conventional logs and lithofacies. Sequential indicator simulation performed well for 3-D modeling of Marcellus Shale lithofacies. The interplay of dilution by terrigenous detritus, organic matter productivity, and organic matter preservation and decomposition affected the distribution of Marcellus Shale lithofacies distribution, which may be attributed to water depth and the distance to shoreline. The trend of normalized average gas production rate from horizontal wells supported our approach to modeling Marcellus Shale lithofacies. The proposed 3-D modeling approach may be helpful for optimizing the design of horizontal well trajectories and hydraulic fracture stimulation strategies.

AB Gadolinium-153 is a low-energy gamma-emitter used in nuclear medicine imaging quality assurance. Produced in nuclear reactors using natural Eu2O3 targets, Gd-153 is radiochemically separated from europium isotopes by europium reduction. However, conventional aqueous europium reduction produces hydrogen gas, a flammability hazard in radiological hot cells. We altered the traditional reduction method, using methanol as the process solvent to nearly eliminate hydrogen gas production. This new, non-aqueous reduction process demonstrates greater than 98% europium removal and gadolinium yields of 90%. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

DE Spent nuclear fuel; Gamma-ray spectroscopy; Delayed gamma rays; Neutron
interrogation
AB The gamma-ray spectrum of spent nuclear fuel in the 3-6 MeV energy range is important for active interrogation since gamma rays emitted from nuclear decay are not expected to interfere with measurements in this energy region. There is, unfortunately, a dearth of empirical measurements from spent nuclear fuel in this region. This work is an initial attempt to partially fill this gap by presenting an analysis of gamma-ray spectra collected from a set of spent nuclear fuel sources using a high-purity germanium detector array. This multi-crystal array possesses a large collection volume, providing high energy resolution up to 16 MeV. The results of these measurements establish the continuum count-rate in the energy region between 3 and 6 MeV. Also assessed is the potential for peaks from passive emissions to interfere with peak measurements resulting from active interrogation delayed emissions. As one of the first documented empirical measurements of passive emissions from spent fuel for energies above 3 MeV, this work provides a foundation for active interrogation model validation and detector development.

AB Context. Our Local Group of galaxies appears to be moving relative to the cosmic microwave background with the source of the peculiar motion still uncertain. While in the past this has been studied mostly using galaxies as distance indicators, the weight of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) has increased recently with the continuously improving statistics of available low-redshift supernovae.
Aims. We measured the bulk flow in the nearby universe (0.015 < z < 0.1) using 117 SNe Ia observed by the Nearby Supernova Factory, as well as the Union2 compilation of SN Ia data already in the literature.
Methods. The bulk flow velocity was determined from SN data binned in redshift shells by including a coherent motion (dipole) in a cosmological fit. Additionally, a method of spatially smoothing the Hubble residuals was used to verify the results of the dipole fit. To constrain the location and mass of a potential mass concentration (e. g., the Shapley supercluster) responsible for the peculiar motion, we fit a Hubble law modified by adding an additional mass concentration.
Results. The analysis shows a bulk flow that is consistent with the direction of the CMB dipole up to z similar to 0 : 06, thereby doubling the volume over which conventional distance measures are sensitive to a bulk flow. We see no significant turnover behind the center of the Shapley supercluster. A simple attractor model in the proximity of the Shapley supercluster is only marginally consistent with our data, suggesting the need for another, more distant source. In the redshift shell 0.06 < z < 0.1, we constrain the bulk flow velocity to <= 240 km s(-1) (68% confidence level) for the direction of the CMB dipole, in contradiction to recent claims of the existence of a large-amplitude dark flow.

AB Aims. The inner disk of the Galaxy has a number of young star clusters dominated by red supergiants that are heavily obscured by dust extinction and observable only at infrared wavelengths. These clusters are important tracers of the recent star formation and chemical enrichment history in the inner Galaxy.
Methods. During the technical commissioning and as a first science verification of the GIANO spectrograph at the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo, we seemed high-resolution (R similar or equal to 50 000) near-infrared spectra of three red supergiants in the young Scutum cluster RSGC2.
Results. Taking advantage of the full YJHK spectral coverage of GIANO in a single exposure, we were able to identify several tens of atomic and molecular lines suitable for chemical abundance determinations. By means of spectral synthesis and line equivalent width measurements, we obtained abundances of Fe and other iron-peak elements such as V. Cr, Ni, of alpha (O, Mg, Si, Ca and Ti) and other light elements (C, N. Na, Al, K, Sc), and of some s-process elements (Y, Sr). We found iron abundances between half and one third solar and solar-scaled [X/Fe] abundance patterns of iron-peak, alpha and most of the light elements, consistent with a thin-disk chemistry. We found a depletion of [C/Fe] and enhancement of [N/Fe], consistent with CN burning, and low C-12/C-13 abundance ratios (between 9 and 11), requiring extra-mixing processes in the stellar interiors during the post-main-sequence evolution. Finally, we found a slight [Sr/Fe] enhancement and a slight [Y-Fe] depletion (by a factor of <= 2),with respect to solar.

AB Context. Use of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) as distance indicators has proven to be a powerful technique for measuring the dark-energy equation of state. However, recent studies have highlighted potential biases correlated with the global properties of their host galaxies, large enough to induce systematic errors into such cosmological measurements if not properly treated.
Aims. We study the host galaxy regions in close proximity to SNe Ia in order to analyze relations between the properties of SN Ia events and environments where their progenitors most likely formed. In this paper we focus on local H alpha emission as an indicator of young progenitor environments.
Methods. The Nearby Supernova Factory has obtained flux-calibrated spectral timeseries for SNe Ia using integral field spectroscopy. These observations enabled the simultaneous measurement of the SN and its immediate vicinity. For 89 SNe Ia we measured or set limits on H alpha emission, used as a tracer of ongoing star formation, within a 1 kpc radius around each SN. This constitutes the first direct study of the local environment for a large sample of SNe Ia with accurate luminosity, color, and stretch measurements.
Results. Our local star formation measurements provide several critical new insights. We find that SNe Ia with local H alpha emission are redder by 0.036 +/- 0.017 mag, and that the previously noted correlation between stretch and host mass is driven entirely by the SNe Ia coming from locally passive environments, in particular at the low-stretch end. There is no such trend for SNe Ia in locally star-forming environments. Our most important finding is that the mean standardized brightness for SNe Ia with local H alpha emission is 0.094 +/- 0.031 mag fainter on average than for those without. This offset arises from a bimodal structure in the Hubble residuals, with one mode being shared by SNe Ia in all environments and the other one exclusive to SNe Ia in locally passive environments. This structure also explains the previously known host-mass bias. We combine the star formation dependence of this bimodality with the cosmic star formation rate to predict changes with redshift in the mean SN Ia brightness and the host-mass bias. The strong change predicted is confirmed using high-redshift SNe Ia from the literature.
Conclusions. The environmental dependences in SN Ia Hubble residuals and color found here point to remaining systematic errors in the standardization of SNe Ia. In particular, the observed brightness offset associated with local H alpha emission is predicted to cause a significant bias in current measurements of the dark energy equation of state. Recognition of these effects offers new opportunities to improve SNe Ia as cosmological probes. For instance, we note that the SNe Ia associated with local H alpha emission are more homogeneous, resulting in a brightness dispersion of only 0.105 +/- 0.012 mag.

AB Fatty acid metabolism is an attractive route to produce liquid transportation fuels and commodity oleochemicals from renewable feedstocks. Recently, genes and enzymes, which comprise metabolic pathways for producing fatty acid-derived compounds (e.g. esters, alkanes, olefins, ketones, alcohols, polyesters) have been elucidated and used in engineered microbial hosts. The resulting strains often generate products at low percentages of maximum theoretical yields, leaving significant room for metabolic engineering. Economically viable processes will require strains to approach theoretical yields, particularly for replacement of petroleum-derived fuels. This review will describe recent progress toward this goal, highlighting the scientific discoveries of each pathway, ongoing biochemical studies to understand each enzyme, and metabolic engineering strategies that are being used to improve strain performance.

AB We present a new, approximate technique for estimating the polarization energy of point defects near interfaces in layered systems using semiconductor device simulation combined with a finite element quadrature technique. We show that we recapture the original, spherical Jost approximation in a homogeneous, infinite solid, as well as reproducing the exact result for a point charge near the interface of two dielectrics. We apply this technique to the silicon-silicon dioxide system for doped substrates, and for devices under bias. We show that the correction to calculated, bulk defect levels depends mildly on the distance from the interface. It depends more strongly on the substrate doping density. Finally, there is a significant dependence on gate bias. These results must be considered for proposed models for negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) that invoke tunneling from the silicon band edges into localized oxide traps.

ID INDUCED CONDUCTIVITY; CHARGE-CARRIERS; INSULATORS
AB The effects of high dose rate electron beam exposures on the electrical conductivity of fused silica and sapphire films are investigated via modern experimental techniques. Transient measurements have been obtained for dose rates ranging from 3x10(5) rad(Si)/s to 1x10(10) rad(Si)/s and for pulse widths ranging from 50 ns to 500 ns. The data indicate that the radiation-induced conductivity (RIC) has a varying power-law relationship with dose rate (i.e., the power-law relationship for low dose rates is different than for high dose rates) and that the RIC coefficient (k(c)) increases at lower dose rates, peaks, and then decreases at higher dose rates. It is also shown that the RIC response of each film increases several orders of magnitude during a high-intensity ionizing radiation exposure and is linearly dependent on applied bias. Two-dimensional (2-D) numerical simulations are used to qualitatively capture the observed RIC response and provide insight into the physics of the induced current transients.

AB We investigate proton-induced upsets in state-of-the-art NAND Flash memories, down to the 25-nm node. The most striking result is the opposite behavior of Multi-Level Cell (MLC) and Single-Level Cell (SLC) devices, in terms of floating gate error cross section as a function of proton energy. In fact, the cross section increases with proton energy in SLC whereas it decreases in MLC. The reason for this behavior is studied through comparison of heavy-ion data and device simulations. The main factors that determine proton energy dependence are discussed, such as the energy dependence of nuclear cross section between protons and chip materials, the LET, energy, and angular distributions of the generated secondaries, but also the heavy-ion and total dose response of the studied devices. Proton irradiation effects in the control circuitry of NAND Flash memories are shown as well.

DE Fault-tolerance; GPU; neutron sensitivity; parallel processors;

AB Graphic Processing Units offer the possibility of executing several threads in parallel, providing the user with higher throughput with respect to traditional multi-core processors. However, the additional resources required to schedule and handle the parallel processes may have the countermeasure of making GPUs more prone to be corrupted by neutrons. The reported experimental results prove that un-optimized thread distribution may exacerbate the device output error rate. As demonstrated, increasing the parallel algorithm block size minimizes the GPU neutron-induced output error rate. The GPU parallelism management is then analyzed as a method to increase reliability.

AB This paper presents an approach to detect SEEs in SRAM-based FPGAs by using software-based techniques combined with a nonintrusive hardware module. We implemented a MIPS-based soft-core processor in a Virtex5 FPGA and hardened it with software-and hardware-based fault tolerance techniques. First fault injection in the configuration memory bitstream was performed in order to verify the feasibility of the proposed approach, detection rates and diagnosis. Furthermore a neutron radiation experiment was performed at LANSCE. Results demonstrate the possibility of employing more flexible fault tolerant techniques to SRAM-based FPGAs with a high detection rate. Comparisons between bitstream fault injection and radiation test is also presented.

AB Charge collection mechanisms in AlGaN/GaN MOS-HEMTs are investigated. Device types include those with no gate oxide, and those with HfO2 and Al2O3 gate oxides. Simultaneous charge collection is observed at the gate and the drain or the source, depending on strike location. Heavy ion data coupled with device simulations show that the introduction of a thin HfO2 layer in the gate stack introduces only a small valence band barrier, reducing but not preventing collection of holes at the gate in HfO2-gate devices. Furthermore, using Al2O3 gate oxide increases the valence band barrier over that of the HfO2, to the point where the radiation-induced transient is not detectable.

AB The effects of radiation on memristors created using tantalum oxide and titanium oxide are compared. Both technologies show changes in resistance when exposed to 800 keV Ta ion irradiation at fluences above 10(10) cm(-2). TaOx memristors show a gradual reduction in resistance at high fluences whereas TiO2 memristors show gradual increases in resistance with inconsistent decreases. After irradiation TaOx devices remain fully functional and can even recover resistance with repeated switching. TiO2 devices are more variable and exhibit significant increases and decreases in resistance when switching after irradiation. Irradiation with 28 MeV Si ions causes both technologies to switch from the off-state to the on-state when ionizing doses on the order of 60 Mrad(Si) or greater (as calculated by SRIM) are reached without applying current or voltage to the part. Irradiation with 10 keV X-rays up to doses of 18 Mrad(Si) in a single step show little effect on either technology. TaOx and TiO2 memristors both show high tolerance for displacement damage and ionization damage and are promising candidates for future radiation-hardened non-volatile memory applications.

DE Feedback control; loaded quality factor control; superconducting
cavities
AB The well-established technology of superconducting niobium cavities (TESLA - TeV-Energy Superconducting Linear Accelerator) finds an increasing number of applications for linear accelerators in high-energy physics experiments. Together with cavity design and manufacturing, control systems for accelerating field parameters were developed. The digital control system developed for cryomodule operation at the Free Electron Laser in Hamburg (FLASH) is able to perform field amplitude and phase regulation with the precision requested for the multiple user experiments carried at FLASH and according to the required laser light parameters. While new experiments (like the International Linear Collider or the European X-FEL) are based on the same technology (and similar control systems), they require additional levels of controlling superconducting structures parameters in order to comply with tighter power budget overheads and finer field regulation requirements. Consequently, the possibility of controlling such parameters as cavity loaded quality factor or resonance frequency is becoming more attractive. The necessity and the benefits of regulating these parameters have been described in [1] and [2]. In this paper, we describe the algorithm for feedback control of the loaded Q in TESLA cavities by means of motor control of the fundamental power coupler.

AB A study of hot-carrier effects (HCE) on the 180-nm CMOS device lifetime has been performed at 300 K and 77 K for Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LAr TPC). Two different measurements were used: accelerated lifetime measurement under severe electric field stress by the drain-source voltage V-ds, and a separate measurement of the substrate current as a function of 1/V-ds. The former verifies the canonical very steep slope of the inverse relation between the lifetime and the substrate current, and the latter confirms that below a certain value of V-ds a lifetime margin of several orders of magnitude can be achieved for the cold electronics TPC readout. The low power ASIC design for LAr TPC falls naturally into this domain, where hot-electron effects are negligible. Lifetime of digital circuits (ac operation) is extended by the inverse duty factor 1/(f(clock)t(eff)) compared to dc operation. This factor is large (> 100) for deep submicron technology and clock frequency needed for TPC readout. As an additional margin, V-ds may be reduced by similar to 10%. Extremely low failure rate (incidence) in previous large experiments demonstrates that surface mount circuit board technology withstands very well even multiple abrupt immersion in liquid nitrogen applied in board testing, and that the total failure incidence in continuous operation over time is very low.

AB Amplification of chromosome 20q is frequently found in various types of human cancers, including breast cancer. The list of candidate oncogenes in 20q has expanded over the past decade. Here, we investigate whether FAM83D (family with sequence similarity 83, member D) on chromosome 20q plays any role in breast cancer development. The expression level of FAM83D is significantly elevated in breast cancer cell lines and primary human breast cancers. High expression levels of FAM83D are significantly associated with poor clinical outcome and distant metastasis in breast cancer patients. We show that ectopic expression of FAM83D in human mammary epithelial cells promotes cell proliferation, migration and invasion along with epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Ablation of FAM83D in breast cancer cells induces apoptosis and consequently inhibits cell proliferation and colony formation. Mechanistic studies reveal that overexpression of FAM83D downregulates FBXW7 expression levels through a physical interaction, which results in elevated protein levels of oncogenic substrates downstream to FBXW7, such as mTOR, whose inhibition by rapamycin can suppress FAM83D-induced cell migration and invasion. The results demonstrate that FAM83D has prognostic value for breast cancer patients and is a novel oncogene in breast cancer development that at least in part acts through mTOR hyper-activation by inhibiting FBXW7.

AB A comprehensive study of GeTe-based materials where Ge is replaced by 2at.% Ag, 2at.% Sb, and additionally by 1 or 2at.% Dy (Ag2Sb2Ge46-xDyxTe50 alloys) has been conducted using Seebeck coefficient, electrical resistivity, and thermal conductivity measurements in the temperature range of 300-750K, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Te-125 NMR at 300K. According to our data, at approximate to 720K, GeTe, a self-doping degenerate semiconductor, exhibits the highest known power factor (PF) among tellurides, 42Wcm(-1)K(-2), but due to high thermal conductivity, the thermoelectric figure of merit, ZT, is relatively low, approximate to 0.8. Replacement of Ge in GeTe by [Ag+Sb] and Dy enhances the Seebeck coefficient and produces a small increase in carrier concentration deduced from Te-125 NMR spin-lattice relaxation. The PF of Ag2Sb2Ge45Dy1Te50 at approximate to 720K is found to be still high, 40Wcm(-1)K(-2), and due to a reduction in thermal conductivity, ZT reaches 1.2. Our data show that relatively high ZT values in tellurides can be obtained primarily due to high PF while thermal conductivity is moderate. The enhancement of the Seebeck coefficient observed in Ag2Sb2Ge46-xDyxTe50 alloys can be attributed to energy filtering due potential barriers formed by [Ag+Sb] and rare-earth Dy atoms.

AB Compressive sensing is used to determine the flow characteristics around a cylinder (Reynolds number and pressure/flow field) from a sparse number of pressure measurements on the cylinder. Using a supervised machine learning strategy, library elements encoding the dimensionally reduced dynamics are computed for various Reynolds numbers. Convex L-1 optimization is then used with a limited number of pressure measurements on the cylinder to reconstruct, or decode, the full pressure field and the resulting flow field around the cylinder. Aside from the highly turbulent regime (large Reynolds number) where only the Reynolds number can be identified, accurate reconstruction of the pressure field and Reynolds number is achieved. The proposed data-driven strategy thus achieves encoding of the fluid dynamics using the L-2 norm, and robust decoding (flow field reconstruction) using the sparsity promoting L-1 norm.

AB Flow-fields are typically used to intimately mix large pm-sized particles with polymer melts. Here we show, using rheology, X-ray scattering, and electron microscopy, that shear flows do not improve the spatial dispersion or ordering of spherical nanoparticles (NP) grafted with polymer chains over the ranges of flow fields realizable in our experiments in the melt state. In the absence of flow, grafted NPs robustly self-assemble into a variety of superstructures when they are added to a homopolymer matrix with the same chemistry as the NP grafts. We find that isolated particles and spherical NP clusters remain dispersed but do not flow align. On the other hand, anisotropic NP assemblies initially break and their constituent building blocks (strings or sheets) flow-align locally. At very large strains, they coarsen into large aggregates, reflecting the dominance of interparticle attractions over flow fields and thermal energy.

AB Tapered diblock copolymers are similar to AB diblock copolymers, but the sharp junction between the A and B blocks is replaced with a gradient region in which composition varies from mostly A to mostly B along its length. The A side of the taper can be attached to the A block (normal) or the B block (inverse). We demonstrate how taper length and direction affect the phase diagrams and density profiles using self-consistent field theory: Adding tapers shifts the order-disorder transition to lower temperature versus the diblock, and this effect is larger for longer tapers and for inverse tapers. However, tapered systems' phase diagrams and interfacial profiles do not simply match those of diblocks at a shifted effective temperature. For instance, we find that normal tapering widens the bicontinuous gyroid region of the phase diagram, while inverse tapering narrows this region, apparently due to differences in polymer organization at the interfaces.

AB A modular strategy for protein crystallization using split green fluorescent protein (GFP) as a crystallization partner is demonstrated. Insertion of a hairpin containing GFP beta-strands 10 and 11 into a surface loop of a target protein provides two chain crossings between the target and the reconstituted GFP compared with the single connection afforded by terminal GFP fusions. This strategy was tested by inserting this hairpin into a loop of another fluorescent protein, sfCherry. The crystal structure of the sfCherry-GFP(10-11) hairpin in complex with GFP(1-9) was determined at a resolution of 2.6 angstrom. Analysis of the complex shows that the reconstituted GFP is attached to the target protein (sfCherry) in a structurally ordered way. This work opens the way to rapidly creating crystallization variants by reconstituting a target protein bearing the GFP(10-11) hairpin with a variety of GFP(1-9) mutants engineered for favorable crystallization.

AB We study out-of-equilibrium transport in disordered superconductors close to the superconducting transition. We consider a thin film connected by resistive tunnel interfaces to thermal reservoirs having different chemical potentials and temperatures. The nonequilibrium longitudinal current-current correlation function is calculated within the nonlinear sigma model description and nonlinear dependence on temperatures and chemical potentials is obtained. Different contributions are calculated, originating from the fluctuation-induced suppression of the quasiparticle density of states, Maki-Thompson and Aslamazov-Larkin processes. As a special case of our results, close-to-equilibrium we obtain the longitudinal ac conductivity using the fluctuation-dissipation theorem. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

AB The CP violating Dashen phase in QCD is predicted by chiral perturbation theory to occur when the up-down quark mass difference becomes sufficiently large at fixed down-quark mass. Before reaching this phase, all physical hadronic masses and scattering amplitudes are expected to behave smoothly with the up-quark mass, even as this mass passes through zero. In Euclidean space, the topological susceptibility of the gauge fields is positive at positive quark masses but diverges to negative infinity as the Dashen phase is approached. A zero in this susceptibility provides a tentative signal for the point where the mass of the up quark vanishes. I discuss potential ambiguities with this determination. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc.

AB Simultaneous fermentation of cellobiose and xylose by an engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been demonstrated in batch fermentation, suggesting the feasibility of continuous co-fermentation of cellulosic sugars. As industrial S. cerevisiae strains have known to possess higher ethanol productivity and robustness compared to laboratory S. cerevisiae strains, xylose and cellobiose metabolic pathways were introduced into a haploid strain derived from an industrial S. cerevisiae. The resulting strain (JX123-BIT) was able to ferment a mixture of cellobiose and xylose simultaneously in batch fermentation with a high ethanol yield (0.38 g/g) and productivity (2.00 g/L.h). Additionally, the JX123-BTT strain co-consumed glucose, cellobiose, and xylose under continuous culture conditions at a dilution rate of 0.05 h(-1) and produced ethanol resulting in 0.38 g/g of ethanol yield and 0.96 g/L.h of productivity. This is the first demonstration of co-fermentation of cellobiose and xylose by an engineered S. cerevisiae under continuous culture conditions. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB Ricin, a heterodimeric toxin that is present in the seeds of the Ricinus communis plant, is the biothreat agent most frequently encountered by law enforcement agencies in the United States. Even in untrained hands, the easily obtainable seeds can yield a highly toxic product that has been used in various types of threats, including white-powder letters. Although the vast majority of these threats are hoaxes, an impediment to accurate hazard assessments by first responders is the unreliability of rapid detection assays for ricin, such as lateral flow assays (LFAs). One of the complicating factors associated with LFAs is the incorporation of antibodies of poor specificity that cross-react with near-neighbors or with plant lectins that are capable of nonspecifically cross-linking the capture and detector antibodies. Because of the compelling and critical need to promote the interests of public safety and public health, the Department of Homeland Security conducted a comprehensive laboratory evaluation study of a commercial LFA for the rapid detection of ricin. This study was conducted using comprehensive inclusivity and exclusivity panels of ricin and near-neighbor plant materials, along with panels of lectins and white-powders, to determine the specificity, sensitivity, limits of detection, dynamic range, and repeatability of the assay for the specific intended use of evaluating suspicious white powders and environmental samples in the field.

AB Bacterial Ig-like (Big) domains are commonly distributed in glycoside hydrolases (GH), but their structure and function remains undefined. Xylanase is a GH, and catalyzes the hydrolysis of the internal -xylosidic linkages of xylan. In this study, we report the molecular cloning, biochemical and biophysical characterization, and crystal structure of a termite gut bacterial xylanase, Xyl-ORF19, which was derived from gut bacteria of a wood-feeding termite (Globitermes brachycerastes). The protein architecture of Xyl-ORF19 reveals that it has two domains, a C-terminal GH10 catalytic domain and an N-terminal Big_2 non-catalytic domain. The catalytic domain folds in an (/)(8) barrel as most GH10 xylanases do, but it has two extra -strands. The non-catalytic domain is structurally similar to an immunoglobulin-like domain of intimins. The recombinant enzyme without the non-catalytic domain has fairly low catalytic activity, and is different from the full-length enzyme in kinetic parameters, pH and temperature profiles, which suggests the non-catalytic domain could affect the enzyme biochemical and biophysical properties as well as the role for enzyme localization. This study provides a molecular basis for future efforts in xylanase bioengineering. Biotechnol. Bioeng. 2013;110: 3093-3103. (c) 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

AB Flocculation is a promising method to overcome the economic hurdle to separation of algae from its growth medium in large scale operations. However, understanding of the floc structure and the effects of shear on the floc structure are crucial to the large scale implementation of this technique. The floc structure is important because it determines, in large part, the density and settling behavior of the algae. Freshwater algae floc size distributions and fractal dimensions are presented as a function of applied shear rate in a Couette cell using ferric chloride as a flocculant. Comparisons are made with measurements made for a polystyrene microparticle model system taken here as well as reported literature results. The algae floc size distributions are found to be self-preserving with respect to shear rate, consistent with literature data for polystyrene. Three fractal dimensions are calculated which quantitatively characterize the complexity of the floc structure. Low shear rates result in large, relatively dense packed flocs which elongate and fracture as the shear rate is increased. The results presented here provide crucial information for economically implementing flocculation as a large scale algae harvesting strategy. Biotechnol. Bioeng. 2013;110: 3156-3163.

AB This paper utilises large eddy simulation (LES) to study swirling reacting flows by comparison with experimental observations. The purpose is to provide further insights in engineering designs, as well as to improve modelling. A reduced-scale swirl burner has been developed for the experiments. Comparison of particle image velocimetry (PIV) measurements with LES results using finite rate chemistry shows that LES captures all the salient features of an unconfined flame including velocity and temperature distributions. However, when the flame is confined within a cylindrical combustor, the simulated flame shape is initially not consistent with experimental observation. Investigations show that the discrepancy is caused by the often practised assumption of adiabatic wall temperature. With the use of an assumed wall temperature distribution guided by laboratory observation, results of LES are consistent with experiments. Although the latter LES approach requires more computational resources, the improvement is found to be justified.

ID DYNAMICS SIMULATIONS; NWCHEM
AB Molecular dynamics simulation, as a complementary tool to experimentation, has become an important methodology for the understanding and design of molecular systems as it provides access to properties that are difficult, impossible or prohibitively expensive to obtain experimentally. Many of the available software packages have been parallelized to take advantage of modern massively concurrent processing resources. The challenge in achieving parallel efficiency is commonly attributed to the fact that molecular dynamics algorithms are communication intensive.
This paper illustrates how an appropriately chosen data distribution and asynchronous one-sided communication approach can be used to effectively deal with the data movement within the Global Arrays/ARMCI programming model framework. A new put_notify capability is presented here,. allowing the implementation of the molecular dynamics algorithm without any explicit global or local synchronization or global data reduction operations. In addition, this push-data model is shown to very effectively allow hiding data communication behind computation. Rather than data movement or explicit global reductions, the implicit synchronization of the algorithm becomes the primary challenge for scalability. Without any explicit synchronous operations, the scalability of molecular simulations is shown to depend only on the ability to evenly balance computational load. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.

AB We present a new divide-and-conquer algorithm to efficiently evaluate the Coulomb interaction in a large system, which is an essential part of self-consistent first-principle calculations. The total Coulomb potential phi(r) = 1/vertical bar r vertical bar is divided into a short range part phi(S)(r) and a smooth long range part phi(L)(r). The system is divided into many cuboids, with a small box defined for each cuboid plus a buffer region. For the short range part, the interaction convolution integral is calculated directly using a Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) in the small box. For the smooth long range part, the convolution integral is evaluated by a global FFT but on a coarse grid. The conversion between the dense grid and coarse grid values is done using small box FFTs with proper mask functions. Using this small box FFT method, the total Coulomb potentials of test quantum dot systems on 480(3) grid and 2400(3) grid are calculated. For the 2400(3) grid case, the calculation is carried out by tens of thousands of processors with a computational speed up close to 10 times when compared with direct global FFT calculations using the FFTW package with the maximumly allowed number of processors. The maximum relative error is 4 x 10(-5) while the absolute error is less than 0.1 meV. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB One approach for solving interacting many-fermion systems is the configuration-interaction method, also sometimes called the interacting shell model, where one finds eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian in a many-body basis of Slater determinants.(antisymmetrized products of single-particle wavefunctions). The resulting Hamiltonian matrix is typically very sparse, but for large systems the nonzero matrix elements can nonetheless require terabytes or more of storage. An alternate algorithm, applicable to a broad class of systems with symmetry, in our case rotational invariance, is to exactly factorize both the basis and the interaction using additive/multiplicative quantum numbers; such an algorithm recreates the many-body matrix elements on the fly and can reduce the storage requirements by an order of magnitude or more. We discuss factorization in general and introduce a novel, generalized factorization method, essentially a 'double-factorization' which speeds up basis generation and set-up of required arrays. Although we emphasize techniques, we also place factorization in the context of a specific (unpublished) configuration-interaction code, BIGSTICK, which runs both on serial and parallel machines, and discuss the savings in memory due to factorization.

AB The use of coprocessors or accelerators such as graphics processing units (GPUs) has become popular in scientific computing applications due to their low cost, impressive floating-point capabilities, high memory bandwidth, and low electrical power requirements. Hybrid high-performance computers, defined as machines with nodes containing more than one type of floating-point processor (e.g. CPU and GPU), are now becoming more prevalent due to these advantages. Although there has been extensive research into methods to use accelerators efficiently to improve the performance of molecular dynamics (MD) codes employing pairwise potential energy models, little is reported in the literature for models that include many-body effects. 3-body terms are required for many popular potentials such as MEAM, Tersoff, REBO, AIREBO, Stillinger-Weber, Bond-Order Potentials, and others. Because the per-atom simulation times are much higher for models incorporating 3-body terms, there is a clear need for efficient algorithms usable on hybrid high performance computers. Here, we report a shared-memory force-decomposition for 3-body potentials that avoids memory conflicts to allow for a deterministic code with substantial performance improvements on hybrid machines. We describe modifications necessary for use in distributed memory MD codes and show results for the simulation of water with Stillinger-Weber on the hybrid Titan supercomputer. We compare performance of the 3-body model to the SPC/E water model when using accelerators. Finally, we demonstrate that our approach can attain a speedup of 5.1 with acceleration on Titan for production simulations to study water droplet freezing on a surface. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.

AB The Mg/Ca ratio of foraminiferal calcite is a widely accepted and applied empirical proxy for ocean temperature. The analysis of foraminifera preserved in ocean sediments has been instrumental in developing our understanding of global climate, but the mechanisms behind the proxy are largely unknown. Analogies have been drawn to the inorganic precipitation of calcite, where the endothermic substitution of Mg for Ca is favoured at higher temperatures. However, evidence suggests that foraminiferal Mg incorporation may be more complex: foraminiferal magnesium is highly heterogeneous at the sub-micron scale, and high Mg areas coincide with elevated concentrations of organic molecules, Na, S and other trace elements. Fundamentally, the incorporation mode of Mg in foraminifera is unknown. Here we show that Mg is uniformly substituted for Ca within the calcite mineral lattice. The consistency of Mg-specific X-ray spectra gathered from nano-scale regions across the shell ('test') reveals that the coordination of Mg is uniform. The similarity of these spectra to that produced by dolomite shows that Mg is present in an octahedral coordination, ideally substituted for Ca in a calcite crystal structure. This demonstrates that Mg is heterogeneous in concentration, but not in structure. The degree of this uniformity implies the action of a continuous Mg incorporation mechanism, and therefore calcification mechanism, across these compositional bands in foraminifera. This constitutes a fundamental step towards a mechanistic understanding of foraminiferal calcification processes and the incorporation of calcite-bound palaeoenvironment proxies, such as Mg.

AB Although much remains to be learned about the Arctic and its component processes, many of the most urgent scientific, engineering, and social questions can only be approached through a broader system perspective. Here, we address interactions between components of the Arctic system and assess feedbacks and the extent to which feedbacks (1) are now underway in the Arctic and (2) will shape the future trajectory of the Arctic system. We examine interdependent connections among atmospheric processes, oceanic processes, sea-ice dynamics, marine and terrestrial ecosystems, land surface stocks of carbon and water, glaciers and ice caps, and the Greenland ice sheet. Our emphasis on the interactions between components, both historical and anticipated, is targeted on the feedbacks, pathways, and processes that link these different components of the Arctic system. We present evidence that the physical components of the Arctic climate system are currently in extreme states, and that there is no indication that the system will deviate from this anomalous trajectory in the foreseeable future. The feedback for which the evidence of ongoing changes is most compelling is the surface albedo-temperature feedback, which is amplifying temperature changes over land (primarily in spring) and ocean (primarily in autumn-winter). Other feedbacks likely to emerge are those in which key processes include surface fluxes of trace gases, changes in the distribution of vegetation, changes in surface soil moisture, changes in atmospheric water vapor arising from higher temperatures and greater areas of open ocean, impacts of Arctic freshwater fluxes on the meridional overturning circulation of the ocean, and changes in Arctic clouds resulting from changes in water vapor content.

ID COMMUNICATION; MODELS
AB A scientific community can be modeled as a collection of epistemic agents attempting to answer questions, in part by communicating about their hypotheses and results. We can treat the pathways of scientific communication as a network. When we do, it becomes clear that the interaction between the structure of the network and the nature of the question under investigation affects epistemic desiderata, including accuracy and speed to community consensus. Here we build on previous work, both our own and others', in order to get a firmer grasp on precisely which features of scientific communities interact with which features of scientific questions in order to influence epistemic outcomes. Here we introduce a measure on the landscape meant to capture some aspects of the difficulty of answering an empirical question. We then investigate both how different communication networks affect whether the community finds the best answer and the time it takes for the community to reach consensus on an answer. We measure these two epistemic desiderata on a continuum of networks sampled from the Watts-Strogatz spectrum. It turns out that finding the best answer and reaching consensus exhibit radically different patterns. The time it takes for a community to reach a consensus in these models roughly tracks mean path length in the network. Whether a scientific community finds the best answer, on the other hand, tracks neither mean path length nor clustering coefficient.

AB Multi-layered (Y2O3)(0.08)(ZrO2)(0.92)/(Sc2O3)(0.1)(CeO2)(0.01)-(ZrO2)(0.89)(YSZ/SCSZ) electrolytes have been designed, so that the inner SCSZ layers provided superior ionic conductivity and the outer YSZ skin layers maintained good chemical and phase stability. Due to the mismatch of coefficients of thermal expansion between layers of different compositions, the thermal residual stresses were generated. The theoretical residual stress and strain were calculated for different thickness ratios of the electrolytes. In order to study the residual stress effect on the mechanical properties, the biaxial flexure tests of electrolytes with various layered designs were performed via a ring-on-ring method at room temperature and 800 degrees C. The maximum principal stress at the fracture indicated improved flexure strength in the electrolytes with layered designs at both temperatures. It is believed to be the result of the residual compressive stress in the outer YSZ layer. In addition, the Weibull statistics of the stress at the fracture at room temperature was studied, and the values of residual stress presented at the outer layer were well verified.

FRAMEWORK; TECTONIC EVOLUTION; GRANITIC MAGMAS; SIERRA-NEVADA
AB One of the greatest global manifestations of explosive silicic volcanism in the terrestrial rock record occurred during the middle Cenozoic over a large part of southwestern North America, from the Great Basin of Nevada and western Utah into Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, and Mexico. This subduction-related ignimbrite flareup is the only one known in the world of its magnitude and of Mesozoic or Cenozoic age that is not related to continental breakup. The southern Great Basin ignimbrite province was a major product of the flareup. Its central and eastern sectors developed on the Great Basin altiplano, a high orogenic plateau of limited relief dating from pulses of late Paleozoic through Mesozoic orogenic contractile deformation. Caldera-forming activity migrated southwestward through time in response to rollback of a once-flat slab of subducting lithosphere.
In the central sector of the southern Great Basin ignimbrite province, 11 partly exposed, mostly overlapping source calderas and one concealed source comprise the 36-18 Ma Central Nevada caldera complex. Calderas have diameters as much as 50 km, to possibly 80 km. Intracaldera tuff and intercalated wall-collapse breccia are at least 2000 m thick. Surrounding outflow ignimbrites consist of 17 regional cooling units (>200 km(3)) that have been correlated over two or more mountain ranges on the basis of stratigraphic position, paleomagnetic direction, chemical and modal composition, and Ar-40/Ar-39 age. Many additional smaller cooling units have been recognized. Possibly as many as eight of the ignimbrites resulted from super-eruptions of 1000 km(3) to as much as 4800 km(3). This Central Nevada ignimbrite field is presently exposed over an area of similar to 65,000 km(2) in south-central Nevada and had a volume of 25,000 km(3) corrected for post-volcanic crustal extension. Six of the largest eruptions broadcast ash flows over an extension-corrected area of greater than 16,000 km(2) and as much as 160 km from their caldera sources. Individual sections of outflow tuff include as many as 14 ignimbrite cooling units; aggregate thicknesses locally reach a kilometer, and stacks a few hundred meters thick are common. Sequences are almost everywhere conformable and lack substantial intervening erosional debris and angular discordances that would testify to synvolcanic crustal extension. Beds of fallout ash a few meters thick associated with the largest eruption have been recognized in the mid-continent of the U.S.
Six caldera-forming eruptive episodes are separated by five lulls in activity, each lasting from 1.7 to 4.4 m.y., during which time little (<200 km(3)) or no ignimbrite was deposited. Some of the longer lulls that preceded the most voluminous eruptions likely reflected the time for accumulation of magma in huge shallow chambers before eruption was triggered. Other long lulls preceded the last two, single eruptions as the arc magma-generating system was waning prior to the transition to non-arc magma production to the south in the Southwestern Nevada volcanic field.
Central Nevada ignimbrites are mostly calc-alkalic and high-K with trace element patterns typical of subduction-related arcs; they range from high-silica (78 wt%) rhyolite to low-silica (63 wt%) dacite. Most ignimbrites are rhyolite, from the earliest to the latest eruptions in the field, and most of these are phenocryst rich. The largest ignimbrite (4800 km(3)), emplaced at 31.69 Ma, is a phenocryst- rich, normally zoned rhyolite-dacite. Three monotonous intermediate cooling units of relatively uniform phenocryst-rich dacite were erupted in rapid succession at 27.57 Ma; they have an estimated aggregate volume of 4500 km(3). These "main-trend" rhyolite and dacite ignimbrites were derived from relatively low-temperature (700-800 degrees C), waterrich magmas that equilibrated a couple of log units more oxidized than the QFM (quartzfayalite- magnetite) oxygen buffer with an assemblage of plagioclase, sanidine, quartz, biotite, Fe-Ti oxides, zircon, and apatite with or without hornblende, pyroxene, and titanite at depths of similar to 8-12 km. Magmas were created in unusually thick crust (similar to 60 km) as large-scale inputs of mantle-derived basaltic magma powered partial melting, assimilation, mixing, and differentiation processes. "Off-trend" ignimbrites include cooling units of the 600 km(3) trachydacitic Isom-type tuffs that contain sparse phenocrysts of plagioclase, clino-and ortho-pyroxene, and Fe-Ti oxides derived from drier and hotter magmas. These magmas erupted immediately after the monotonous intermediates, from ca. 27 to 23 Ma, and were derived by fractionation from andesitic differentiates of the mantlederived magmas in the deeper crust. Younger, off-trend rhyolitic magmas possessed some of the same unusually high TiO2, K2O, Zr, and Ba contents as those of the Isom type and may be rhyolitic differentiates of Isom-type trachydacites or rhyolitic melts contaminated with Isom-type magma.
The distinctive couplet of monotonous intermediates and trachydacitic Isom-type tuffs in the Central Nevada field is found in much greater volume in the coeval Indian Peak-Caliente field to the east, where monotonous intermediates have an extension corrected volume of 12,300 km(3) and Isom-type tuffs have a volume of 4200 km(3). However, in the rhyolite-dominant Western Nevada field to the west, monotonous intermediates have not been recognized and trachydacitic Isomtype tuffs occur in only very small volumes, probably no more than 50 km(3) total. These composition-volume contrasts appear to be related to the crustal thickness that diminished westward during the middle Cenozoic ignimbrite fl areup. The distinctive couplet of ignimbrites has not been recognized elsewhere, to our knowledge, in the flareup fields in southwestern North America.
Extrusion of intermediate-composition lavas at the inception of the ignimbrite flare up in the northeastern part of the Central Nevada field created large lava piles. Later extrusions from 33 to 24 Ma were virtually absent but modest activity resumed thereafter and persisted until the end of the ignimbrite flareup. All together, the volume of andesitic lava is less than one-tenth the volume of contemporaneous silicic ignimbrite; like proportions occur in the ignimbrite fields to the west and east in the southern Great Basin ignimbrite province. This small proportion, together with the absence of basalt lavas, reflects the unusually thick crust in which silicic magmas were being generated during the ignimbrite flareup. In sharp contrast, flareups in volcanic fields elsewhere in the southwestern U.S. resulted in subordinate ignimbrite relative to lavas.

AB This paper presents a hysteretic water retention curve (WRC) and unsaturated hydraulic conductivity model for deformable soils based on the change in pore-size distribution (PSD). The PSD plays a decisive role in the water retention behaviour of soils. Although its evolution during deformation is rather complicated, experimental data showed that the overall shapes and distribution characteristics of the PSD function are not significantly altered. Based on these findings, the PSD function at a deformed state is obtained by horizontal shifting and vertical scaling of the corresponding PSD function at a reference state. On this basis, a hysteretic WRC model is formulated to account for the influences of deformation and hysteresis on the variation of saturation, using seven model parameters with clear physical meanings. The proposed model is then incorporated in the Mualem model to predict the unsaturated hydraulic conductivity for deformable soils, using only one additional parameter. A large number of published laboratory tests are used to validate the proposed model, showing that it can reasonably capture important features of retention and permeability properties for deformable soils in most cases under consideration.

AB A large-scale carbon dioxide (CO2) injection pilot is ongoing at Cranfield, Mississippi, in a saline aquifer with high dissolved methane (CH4) content, employing one injection well and two observation wells. The breakthrough of CH4 and CO2 at the observation wells provides insights to phase partitioning and the multipath nature of flow through the formation. Injected CO2 is cooler than the formation temperature, making temperature another useful observation. Simulations of the first year of CO2 injection were conducted with the numerical simulator TOUGH2 and the equation of state module EOS7C, which includes CO2, CH4, and H2O, using an axisymmetric model with layering based on well logs from the injection well. Although the simplification of an axisymmetric model precludes study of formation dip or lateral heterogeneity, its simple structure enables a focus on physical processes involving the phase partitioning of CH4 and CO2, and temperature effects. Field observations that the model reproduces include the arrival of a bank of free-phase CH4 ahead of the main CO2 plume at each observation well, and non-monotonic changes in CH4 and CO2 mole fraction as a function of time, suggesting that multiple distinct flow paths exist between the injection well and the observation wells, each with its own bank of free-phase CH4 leading the CO2. Model results are compared with temperature observations made in the field with a Distributed Temperature Sensor (DTS) system, suggesting that a well-defined thermal response reached the near observation well within the seven-month monitoring period, but not the more distant observation well.

AB Injectivity of CO2 in the Becancour deep saline aquifers, St. Lawrence Platform (Quebec), was investigated using 2D radial numerical simulations with TOUGH2/ECO2N. In order to have an appropriate choice for the CO2 injection rate and the duration of injection, sensitivity analyses were carried out, considering different values of hydrodynamic, chemical-petrophysical, and geometric parameters affecting CO2 injection in a brine reservoir. The parameterization analysis for capillary pressure and relative permeability models indicated large uncertainty for this case study. Simulations took into account Becancour reservoir conditions in which the maximum pressure was limited to the fracturing pressure. The sensitivity analysis provides guidance on potential injection scenarios. To remain below fracturing pressure, intermittent 5-year injection periods can be used, with a mass injection rate up to approximate to 20 kg/s, alternating with half-year periods without injection. This scenario could give maximum CO2 storage in the aquifer. CO2 storage capacities in different phases were calculated versus time. This study shows that the northeastern reservoir block of the Becancour area could host about 10 Mt CO2, which represents 15% to 50% of regional yearly CO2 emissions during about 60 and 20 years for the case of the injection formation permeability of 0.89 x 10(-15) m(2) and 4.17 x 10(-15) m(2), respectively. Finally, this modeling study will also be the basis for the design of a pilot CO2 injection test at the study site. (c) 2013 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd

AB Natural and sexual selection are frequently invoked as causes of sexual size dimorphism in animals. Many species of turtles, including the Diamond-backed Terrapin (Malaclemys terrapin), exhibit sexual dimorphism in body size, possibly enabling the sexes to exploit different resources and reduce intraspecific competition. Female terrapins not only have larger body sizes but also disproportionately larger skulls and jaws relative to males. To better understand the relationship between skull morphology and terrapin feeding ecology, we measured the in-lever to out-lever ratios of 27 male and 33 female terrapin jaws to evaluate biomechanics of the trophic apparatus. In addition, we measured prey handling times by feeding Fiddler Crabs (Uca pugnax), a natural prey item, to 24 terrapins in the laboratory. Our results indicate that although females have disproportionately larger heads, they have similar in: out lever ratios to males, suggesting that differences in adductor muscle mass are more important in determining bite force than jaw in: out lever ratios. Females also had considerably reduced prey handling times. Understanding the factors affecting terrapin feeding ecology can illuminate the potential roles male and female terrapins play as top-down predators that regulate grazing of Periwinkle Snails (Littorina irrorata) on Cord Grass (Spartina alterniflora).

AB The use of magnesium oxide (MgO) as a filler in an epoxy molding compound (EMC) was considered to identify the maximum thermal conductivity that could be achieved without compromising rheological or processing control and processing flexibility. MgO is an attractive candidate filler for EMCs used in automotive and other applications because MgO is inexpensive, electrically insulative, has relatively high thermal conductivity, is nontoxic, and is a relatively soft filler material meaning it will be less abrasive to surfaces it contacts during its processing and shape molding. A maximum bulk thermal conductivity of 3 W/mK was achieved with a 56% volume fraction of MgO filler. This 56 vol% MgO-filled EMC has a thermal conductivity approximately twice that of traditional silica-filled EMCs with the same volume fraction of filler and has equivalent electrical insulative, thermal expansion, and water absorption characteristics. It is concluded that if a thermal conductivity greater than 3 W/mK is needed in an EMC, then a much more expensive filler material than MgO must be used.

AB This paper demonstrates a new approach for the measurement of vector electromagnetic leakage within tightly integrated electronic subsystems. Specifically, the effect of shielding and encapsulation techniques commonly used in radiofrequency (RF) multichip modules is investigated using an electrooptic (EO) near-field measurement system. The test vehicle used for this study is a single-chip 50-W microwave power amplifier integrated into a multilayer low-temperature cofired ceramic module. The measured near-field data show power intensity at 2.5 GHz with up to 0.2-mm resolution for each of the three x-, y-, and z-directed electric field vectors. The resulting images illustrate 1) the polarization-dependent shortcomings of the ubiquitous "via-fence" shielding technique and 2) the formation of surface waves in microstrip substrates due to impedance mismatch. These results are evidence of the applicability of the EO technique to the diagnosis of electromagnetic compatibility issues within compact RF multichip modules.

AB This paper deals with the experiments on methane oxidation in a torch flame that is sustained in a combustion chamber by a low-current nonsteady-state plasmatron. The regimes of operation for such a system in a wide range of air-methane mixtures are analyzed. With the results of experiments, a torch flame generator with a heat power density per unit area at the exit of combustion chamber of about 1 kW/cm(2) is developed. The generator represents an independent unit that can be used in different applications. As an example of application, a usage of the generator in an installation for incineration of oil slimes is described. The flame with a total heat power at a level of 10 kW is directed to a furnace where it assists the burning process of an atomized water-slime composition. Typical content of water in the composition is from 40% to 50% and total expenditure of the composition in continuous mode of operation is from 400 to 600 L/h. The productivity of the installation with respect to slime incineration amounts to 0.25 m(3)/h.

AB We describe a new electrostatic particle-in-cell (PIC) code in curvilinear geometry called curvilinear PIC (CPIC). The code models the microscopic (kinetic) evolution of a plasma with the PIC method, coupled with an adaptive computational grid that can conform to arbitrarily shaped domains. CPIC is particularly suited for multiscale problems associated with the interaction of complex objects with plasmas. A map is introduced between the physical space and the logical space, where the grid is uniform and Cartesian. In CPIC, most of the operations are performed in logical space. CPIC was designed following criteria of versatility, robustness, and performance. Its main features are the use of structured meshes, a scalable field solver based on the black box multigrid algorithm and a hybrid mover, where particles' position is in logical space while the velocity is in physical space. Test examples involving the interaction of a plasma with material boundaries are presented.

AB Aptamers are single-stranded oligonucleotides that fold into well-defined three-dimensional shapes, allowing them to bind their targets with high affinity and specificity. They can be generated through an in vitro process called "Systemic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment" and applied for specific detection, inhibition, and characterization of various targets like small organic and inorganic molecules, proteins, and whole cells. Aptamers have also been called chemical antibodies because of their synthetic origin and their similar modes of action to antibodies. They exhibit significant advantages over antibodies in terms of their small size, synthetic accessibility, and ability to be chemically modified and thus endowed with new properties. The first generation of aptamer drug "Macugen" was available for public use within 25 years of the discovery of aptamers. With others in the pipeline for clinical trials, this emerging field of medical biotechnology is raising significant interest. However, aptamers pose different problems for their development than for antibodies that need to be addressed to achieve practical applications. It is likely that current developments in aptamer engineering will be the basis for the evolution of improved future bioanalytical and biomedical applications. The present review discusses the development of aptamers for therapeutics, drug delivery, target validation and imaging, and reviews some of the challenges to fully realizing the promise of aptamers in biomedical applications.

AB This paper provides a temporal model for the propagation of transient acoustic waves in continuous inhomogeneous isotropic porous material having a rigid frame at low frequency range. A temporal equivalent fluid model, in which the acoustic wave propagates only in the fluid saturating the material, is considered. In this model, the inertial effects are described by the inhomogeneous inertial factor [A. N. Norris, J. Wave Mat. Interact. 1, 365-380 (1986)]. The viscous and thermal losses of the medium are described by two inhomogeneous susceptibility kernels which depend on the viscous and thermal permeabilities. The medium is one-dimensional and its physical parameters (porosity, inertial factor, viscous, and thermal permeabilities) are depth dependent. A generalized wave propagation equation in continuous inhomogeneous material is established and discussed. (C) 2013 Acoustical Society of America.

AB This Letter presents a series of time reversal experiments conducted on the surface of a fused silica glass block. Four different time reversal techniques are compared using three different imaging conditions. The techniques include two classical time reversal experiments: one with a pulse waveform source and one with an impulse response generated from a chirp signal. The other two techniques utilize the deconvolution, or inverse filter, signal processing methods for obtaining the signals to back propagate using a pulse waveform and an impulse response from a chirp. The max-in-time, symmetry, and energy current imaging conditions are compared. (C) 2013 Acoustical Society of America

AB The radial current generated by ion-neutral momentum exchange is suggested to be one of the methods for generating the radial electric field (E (r) ), the turbulence transport, and the low-confinement-mode (L-mode) to high-confinement-mode (H-mode) transitions at the edge of tokamak plasmas. In this analysis of the gyrocenter shift, the plasma pressure gradient, the neutral density gradient and the neutral velocity are the major driving mechanisms of the radial current and the electric field. When there is turbulence, small-scale eddies induce cross-field transport. The confinement time of the National Spherical Torus Experiment is compared with the density fluctuation level to verify the turbulence-induced energy diffusion coefficient from the theory of the gyrocenter shift.

AB Gallium-ferrite thin films were studied to investigate the effects of the oxygen annealing conditions on the electrical properties. Ga0.8Fe1.2O3-delta thin films were prepared by using a sol-gel method under different oxygen partial pressures. The structural properties of the films were studied by using X-ray diffraction. X-ray photoemission spectra of the core-levels of Ga, Fe, and O in the films were examined. The dielectric functions of the films were measured at energies from 0.73 to 6.45 eV by using spectroscopic ellipsometry. The Fe valence was changed by the oxygen vacancies, which are dominantly responsible for the dielectric function and the charge conduction. Remarkably, the leakage current of the films annealed under intermediate oxygen atmospheric conditions showed the lowest values. In the film, the oxygen vacancies, were indirectly estimated by using the ratio of Fe2+ to Fe3+, are important to reduce the leakage current, which can be explained by using a space-charge-limited model with shallow traps.

AB Various approximations of the governing equations of compressible fluid dynamics are commonly used in both atmospheric and ocean modeling. Their main purpose is to eliminate the acoustic waves that are potentially responsible for inefficiency in the numerical solution, leaving behind gravity waves. The author carries out a detailed study of gravity wave dispersion for seven such approximations, individually and in combination, to exactly evaluate some of the often subtle errors. The atmospheric and oceanic cases are qualitatively and quantitatively different because, although they solve the same equations, their boundary conditions are entirely different and they operate in distinctly different parameter regimes. The atmospheric case is much more sensitive to approximation. The recent unified approximation of Arakawa and Konor is one of the most accurate. Remarkably, a simpler approximation, the combined Boussinesq-dynamically rigid approximation turns out to be exactly equivalent to the unified approximation with respect to gravity waves. The oceanic case is insensitive to the effects of any of the approximations, except for the hydrostatic approximation. The hydrostatic approximation is inaccurate at large wavenumbers in both the atmospheric and oceanic cases because it eliminates the entire buoyancy oscillation flow regime and is therefore to be restricted to low aspect ratio flows. For oceanic applications, certain approximations, such as the unified, dynamically rigid, and dynamically stiff approximations, are particularly interesting because they are accurate and approximately conserve mass, which is important for the treatment of sea level rise.

AB Molecular-scale control over the integration of disparate materials on graphene is a critical step in the development of graphene-based electronics and sensors. Here, we report that self-assembled monolayers of 10,12-pentacosadiynoic acid (PCDA) on epitaxial graphene can be used to template the reaction and directed growth of atomic layer deposited (ALD) oxide nanostructures with sub-10 nm lateral resolution. PCDA spontaneously assembles into well-ordered domains consisting of one-dimensional molecular chains that coat the entire graphene surface in a manner consistent with the symmetry of the underlying graphene lattice. Subsequently, zinc oxide and alumina ALD precursors are shown to preferentially react with the functional moieties of PCDA, resulting in templated oxide nanostructures. The retention of the original one-dimensional molecular ordering following ALD is dependent on the chemical reaction pathway and the stability of the monolayer, which can be enhanced via ultraviolet-induced molecular cross-linking.

Built-in imbalances of tunnel rates in the MOS DQD obfuscate some edges of the bias triangles. A method to extract the bias triangles is described, and a numeric rate-equation simulation is used to understand the effect of tunneling imbalances and finite temperature on charge stability (honeycomb) diagram, in particular the identification of missing and shifting edges. A bound on relaxation time of the triplet-like state is also obtained from this measurement.

AB The recent focus on topological insulators is due to the scientific interest in the new state of quantum matter as well as the technology potential for a new generation of THz optoelectronics, spintronics and quantum computations. It is important to elucidate the dynamics of the Dirac fermions in the topologically protected surface state. Hence we utilized a novel ultrafast optical pump mid-infrared probe to 4 explore the dynamics of Dirac fermions near the Dirac point. The femtosecond snapshots of the relaxation process were revealed by the ultrafast optics. Specifically, the Dirac fermion-phonon coupling strength in the Dirac cone was found to increase from 0.08 to 0.19 while Dirac fermions were away from the Dirac point into higher energy states. Further, the energy-resolved transient reflectivity spectra disclosed the energy loss rate of Dirac fermions at room temperature was about 1 meV/ps. These results are crucial to the design of Dirac fermion devices.

AB The ferroelectric (FE) control of electronic transport is one of the emerging technologies in oxide heterostructures. Many previous studies in FE tunnel junctions (FTJs) exploited solely the differences in the electrostatic potential across the FTJs that are induced by changes in the FE polarization direction. Here, we show that in practice the junction current ratios between the two polarization states can be further enhanced by the electrostatic modification in the correlated electron oxide electrodes, and that FTJs with nanometer thin layers can effectively produce a considerably large electroresistance ratio at room temperature. To understand these surprising results, we employed an additional control parameter, which is related to the crossing of electronic and magnetic phase boundaries of the correlated electron oxide. The FE-induced phase modulation at the heterointerface ultimately results in an enhanced electroresistance effect. Our study highlights that the strong coupling between degrees of freedom across heterointerfaces could yield versatile and novel applications in oxide electronics.

AB Lithium/sulfur (Li/S) cells are receiving significant attention as an alternative power source for zero-emission vehicles and advanced electronic devices due to the very high theoretical specific capacity (1675 mA.h/g) of the sulfur cathode. However, the poor cycle life and rate capability have remained a grand challenge, preventing the practical application of this attractive technology. Here, we report that a Li/S cell employing a cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB)-modified sulfur-graphene oxide (S GO) nanocomposite cathode can be discharged at rates as high as 6C (1C = 1.675 A/g of sulfur) and charged at rates as high as 3C while still maintaining high specific capacity (similar to 800 mA.h/g of sulfur at 6C), with a long cycle life exceeding 1500 cycles and an extremely low decay rate (0.039% per cycle), perhaps the best performance demonstrated so far for a Li/S cell. The initial estimated cell-level specific energy of our cell was 500 W.h/kg, which is much higher than that of current Li-ion cells (similar to 200 W.h/kg). Even after 1500 cycles, we demonstrate a very high specific capacity (similar to 740 mA.h/g of sulfur), which corresponds to similar to 414 mA.h/g of electrode: still higher than state-of-the-art Li-ion cells. Moreover, these Li/S cells with lithium metal electrodes can be cycled with an excellent Coulombic efficiency of 96.3% after 1500 cycles, which was enabled by our new formulation of the ionic liquid-based electrolyte. The performance we demonstrate herein suggests that Li/S cells may already be suitable for high-power applications such as power tools. Li/S cells may now provide a substantial opportunity for the development of zero-emission vehicles with a driving range similar to that of gasoline vehicles.

AB We report giant suppression of photobleaching and a prolonged lifespan of single fluorescent molecules via the Purcell effect in plasmonic nanostructures. The plasmonic structures enhance the spontaneous emission of excited fluorescent molecules, reduce the probability of activating photochemical reactions that destroy the molecules, and hence suppress the bleaching. Experimentally, we observe up to a 1000-fold increase in the total number of photons that we can harvest from a single fluorescent molecule before it bleaches. This approach demonstrates the potential of using the Purcell effect to manipulate photochemical reactions at the subwavelength scale.

AB The vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) mechanism is the predominate growth mechanism for semiconductor nanowires (NWs). We report here a new solid-liquid-solid (SLS) growth mechanism of a silicide phase in Si NWs using in situ transmission electron microcopy (TEM). The new SLS mechanism is analogous to the VLS one in relying on a liquid-mediating growth seed, but it is fundamentally different in terms of nucleation and mass transport. In SLS growth of Ni disilicide, the Ni atoms are supplied from remote Ni particles by interstitial diffusion through a Si NW to the pre-existing Au-Si liquid alloy drop at the tip of the NW. Upon supersaturation of both Ni and Si in Au, an octahedral nucleus of Ni disilicide (NiSi2) forms at the center of the Au liquid alloy, which thereafter sweeps through the Si NW and transforms Si into NiSi2. The dissolution of Si by the Au alloy liquid mediating layer proceeds with contact angle oscillation at the triple point where Si, oxide of Si, and the Au alloy meet, whereas NiSi2 is grown from the liquid mediating layer in an atomic stepwise manner. By using in situ quenching experiments, we are able to measure the solubility of Ni and Si in the Au-Ni-Si ternary alloy. The Au-catalyzed mechanism can lower the formation temperature of NiSi2 by 100 degrees C compared with an all solid state reaction.

AB In situ high-resolution transmission electron microscopy revealed the precipitation of the zinc-blende (ZB) structure InAs at the liquid/solid interface or liquid/solid/amorphous carbon triple point at high temperature. Subsequent to its precipitation, detailed analysis demonstrates unique solid to solid wurtzite (WZ) to ZB phase transition through gliding of sharp steps with Shockley partial dislocations. The most intriguing phenomenon was that each step is 6 {111} atomic layers high and the step migrated without any mechanical stress applied. We believe that this is the first direct in situ observation of WZ-ZB transition in semiconductor nanowires. A model was proposed in which three Shockley partial dislocations collectively glide on every two {0001} planes corresponds to six atomic planes in an unit). The collective glide mechanism does not need any applied shear stress.

AB The best-understood property of semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) is the size-dependent optical transition energies due to the quantization of charge carriers near the band edges. In contrast, much less is known about the nature of hot electron-hole pairs resulting from optical excitation significantly above the bandgap. Here, we show a transient Stark effect imposed by a hot electron-hole pair on optical transitions in PbSe QDs. The hot electron-hole pair does not behave as an exciton, but more bulk-like as independent carriers, resulting in a transient and varying dipole moment which breaks the symmetry of the QD. As a result, we observe redistribution of optical transition strength to dipole forbidden transitions and the broadening of dipole-allowed transitions during the picosecond lifetime of the hot carriers. The magnitude of symmetry breaking scales with the amount of excess energy of the hot carriers, diminishes as the hot carriers cool down and disappears as the hot electron-hole pair becomes an exciton. Such a transient Stark effect should be of general significance to the understanding of QD photophysics above the bandgap.

AB Over the past few years, in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies of lithium ion batteries using an open-cell configuration have helped us to gain fundamental insights into the structural and chemical evolution of the electrode materials in real time. In the standard open-cell configuration, the electrolyte is either solid lithium oxide or an ionic liquid, which is point-contacted with the electrode. This cell design is inherently different from a real battery, where liquid electrolyte forms conformal contact with electrode materials. The knowledge learnt from open cells can deviate significantly from the real battery, calling for operando TEM technique with conformal liquid electrolyte contact. In this paper, we developed an operando TEM electrochemical liquid cell to meet this need, providing the configuration of a real battery and in a relevant liquid electrolyte. To demonstrate this novel technique, we studied the lithiation/delithiation behavior of single Si nanowires. Some of lithiation/delithation behaviors of Si obtained using the liquid cell are consistent with the results from the open-cell studies. However, we also discovered new insights different from the open cell configuration the dynamics of the electrolyte and, potentially, a future quantitative characterization of the solid electrolyte interphase layer formation and structural and chemical evolution.

AB Work function is a fundamental property of a material's surface. It is playing an ever more important role in engineering new energy materials and efficient energy devices, especially in the field of photovoltaic devices, catalysis, semiconductor heterojunctions, nanotechnology, and electrochemistry. Using ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (APXPS), we have measured the binding energies of core level photoelectrons of Ar gas in the vicinity of several reference materials with known work functions (Au(111), Pt(111), graphite) and PbS nanoparticles. We demonstrate an unambiguously negative correlation between the work functions of reference samples and the binding energies of Ar 2p core level photoelectrons detected from the Ar gas near the sample surface region. Using this experimentally determined linear relationship between the surface work function and Ar gas core level photoelectron binding energy, we can measure the surface work function of different materials under different gas environments. To demonstrate the potential applications of this ambient pressure XPS technique in nanotechnology and solar energy research, we investigate the work functions of PbS nanoparticles with various capping ligands: methoxide, mercaptopropionic acid, and ethanedithiol. Significant Fermi level position changes are observed for PbS nanoparticles when the nanoparticle size and capping ligands are varied. The corresponding changes in the valence band maximum illustrate that an efficient quantum dot solar cell design has to take into account the electrochemical effect of the capping ligand as well.

AB We demonstrate a new method of achieving rectification in single molecule devices using the high-bias properties of gold carbon bonds. Our design for molecular rectifiers uses a symmetric, conjugated molecular backbone with a single methylsulfide group linking one end to a gold electrode and a covalent gold-carbon bond at the other end. The gold-carbon bond results in a hybrid gold-molecule "gateway state pinned close to the Fermi level of one electrode. Through nonequilibrium transport calculations, we show that the energy of this state shifts drastically with applied bias, resulting in rectification at surprisingly low voltages. We use this concept to design and synthesize a family of diodes and demonstrate through single-molecule current-voltage measurements that the rectification ratio can be predictably and efficiently tuned. This result constitutes the first experimental demonstration of a rationally tunable system of single-molecule rectifiers. More generally, the results demonstrate that the high-bias properties of "gateway" states can be used to provide additional functionality to molecular electronic systems.

AB The next step in the Wendelstein stellarator line is the large superconducting device Wendelstein 7-X, currently under construction in Greifswald, Germany. Steady-state operation is an intrinsic feature of stellarators, and one key element of the Wendelstein 7-X mission is to demonstrate steady-state operation under plasma conditions relevant for a fusion power plant. Steady-state operation of a fusion device, on the one hand, requires the implementation of special technologies, giving rise to technical challenges during the design, fabrication and assembly of such a device. On the other hand, also the physics development of steady-state operation at high plasma performance poses a challenge and careful preparation. The electron cyclotron resonance heating system, diagnostics, experiment control and data acquisition are prepared for plasma operation lasting 30 min. This requires many new technological approaches for plasma heating and diagnostics as well as new concepts for experiment control and data acquisition.

TI Prompt non-resonant neutral beam-ion loss induced by Alfven eigenmodes
in the DIII-D tokamak
SO NUCLEAR FUSION

ID ENERGETIC IONS; JT-60U; OPERATION; TRANSPORT; PLASMAS; CODE
AB Prompt neutral beam-ion loss due to non-resonant scattering caused by toroidicity-induced and reversed shear Alfven eigenmodes (TAE/RSAEs) have been observed in DIII-D. The coherent losses are of full-energy beam ions born on unperturbed trapped orbits that would carry them close to a fast-ion loss detector (FILD) within one poloidal transit. However, in the presence of AEs, the particles are expelled from the plasma before completing their first poloidal orbits. The loss signals on FILD emerge within 100 mu s after the beam switch-on (which is the time scale of a single poloidal transit) and oscillate at mode frequencies. Time-resolved loss measurements show a linear dependence on the AE fluctuation amplitude and a radial 'kick' of similar to 10 cm by an n = 2 RSAE at delta B/B <= 1 x 10(-3) can be directly inferred from the measurements. Full-orbit modelling of the fast-ion displacement caused by the AEs is in good quantitative agreement with the measurements. Direct interactions of the mode and the beam-ion orbit can account for a large fraction of fast-ion losses observed in such DIII-D discharges. The first orbit non-resonant loss mechanism may also contribute to enhanced localized losses in ITER and future reactors. A new diagnostic method of the radial displacement is inspired by these findings and can be used to study the interaction between fast ions and various MHD modes as well as three-dimensional fields.

TI Simulation of localized fast-ion heat loads in test blanket module

SO NUCLEAR FUSION
LA English
DT Article
ID TOKAMAK; RIPPLE; POWER
AB Infrared imaging of hot spots induced by localized magnetic perturbations using the test blanket module (TBM) mock-up on DIII-D is in good agreement with beam-ion loss simulations. The hot spots were seen on the carbon protective tiles surrounding the TBM as they reached temperatures over 1000 degrees C. The localization of the hot spots on the protective tiles is in fair agreement with fast-ion loss simulations using a range of codes: ASCOT, SPIRAL and OFMCs while the codes predicted peak heat loads that are within 30% of the measured ones. The orbit calculations take into account the birth profile of the beam ions as well as the scattering and slowing down of the ions as they interact with the localized TBM field. The close agreement between orbit calculations and measurements validate the analysis of beam-ion loss calculations for ITER where ferritic material inside the tritium breeding TBMs is expected to produce localized hot spots on the first wall.

AB The coupling of the internal kink to an external m/n = 1/1 perturbation is studied for profiles that are known to result in a saturated internal kink in the limit of a cylindrical tokamak. It is found from three-dimensional equilibrium calculations that, for A approximate to 30 circular plasmas and A approximate to 3 elliptical shapes, this coupling of the boundary perturbation to the internal kink is strong; i.e., the amplitude of the m/n = 1/1 structure at q = 1 is large compared with the amplitude applied at the plasma boundary. Evidence suggests that this saturated internal kink, resulting from small field errors, is an explanation for the TEXTOR and JET measurements of q(0) remaining well below unity throughout the sawtooth cycle, as well as the distinction between sawtooth effects on the q-profile observed in TEXTOR and DIII-D. It is proposed that this excitation, which could readily be applied with error field correction coils, be explored as a mechanism for controlling sawtooth amplitudes in high-performance tokamak discharges. This result is then combined with other recent tokamak results to propose an L-mode approach to fusion in tokamaks.

DT Article
ID TOKAMAKS
AB In the wall-stabilized high-beta plasmas in JT-60U and DIII-D, interactions between energetic particle (EP) driven modes (EPdMs) and edge localized modes (ELMs) have been observed. The interaction between the EPdM and ELM are reproducibly observed. Many EP diagnostics indicate a strong correlation between the distorted waveform of the EPdM and the EP transport to the edge. The waveform distortion is composed of higher harmonics (n >= 2) and looks like a density snake near the plasma edge. According to statistical analyses, ELM triggering by the EPdMs requires a finite level of waveform distortion and pedestal recovery. ELM pacing by the EPdMs occurs when the repetition frequency of the EPdMs is higher than the natural ELM frequency. EPs transported by EPdMs are thought to contribute to change the edge stability.

It has recently found use as an ideal substrate for graphene-based electronic devices. We here describe synthesis of mono- to few-layer h-BN films using low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) from borazine, with nickel, copper and platinum employed as catalytic substrates, and transfer of some of these films using a non-polymer method. Characterization of the films via Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is performed.

AB Graphene resonators are fabricated using a polymer-free, direct transfer method onto metal reinforced holey carbon grids. The resonators are distinguished by the absence of organic residues and excellent crystallinity. The normal mode frequencies are measured using a Fabry-Perot technique; resonance curves indicate highly linear behaviour but very little built-in strain, which is consistent with device geometry examined by atomic force microscopy. We conclude that the oscillators' restoring force is due instead to graphene's intrinsic bending rigidity; our measurements indicate a value of approximately 1.0 eV, consistent with previous theoretical and experimental work.

The polarimeter is based on the elastic polarized-proton scattering on a carbon target at an angle of 16.2 degrees, in which case the analyzing power is close to unity and was measured to a very high degree of precision. It is shown that, in the energy range of 190-205 MeV, the absolute polarization can be measured to a precision better than +/- 0.5%.

AB Being able to accurately predict the performance and operation of multiphase flow systems continues to be a significant challenge. In order to continue the advancement of knowledge and to develop better models, a 10 cm diameter fluidized bed of 185 mu m glass beads was used along with an Electrical Capacitance Volume Tomography (ECVT) sensor and high speed pressure measurements. Three dimensional images of the gas-solid flow structure were obtained and analyzed as well as frequency information from the high speed pressure transducers. The experimental data was then compared to four computational models performed with CPFD Software's Barracuda code exploring different techniques to handle the perforated distributor plate.

AB A realistic molecular-level description of catalytic reactions on single-crystal metal surfaces can be provided by stochastic multisite lattice-gas (msLG) models. This approach has general applicability, although in this report, we will focus on the example of CO-oxidation on the unreconstructed fcc metal (100) or M(100) surfaces of common catalyst metals M = Pd, Rh, Pt and Ir (i.e., avoiding regimes where Pt and Ir reconstruct). These models can capture the thermodynamics and kinetics of adsorbed layers for the individual reactants species, such as CO/M(100) and O/M(100), as well as the interaction and reaction between different reactant species in mixed adlayers, such as (CO + O)/M(100). The msLG models allow population of any of hollow, bridge, and top sites. This enables a more flexible and realistic description of adsorption and adlayer ordering, as well as of reaction configurations and configuration-dependent barriers. Adspecies adsorption and interaction energies, as well as barriers for various processes, constitute key model input. The choice of these energies is guided by experimental observations, as well as by extensive Density Functional Theory analysis. Model behavior is assessed via Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulation. We also address the simulation challenges and theoretical ramifications associated with very rapid diffusion and local equilibration of reactant adspecies such as CO.
These msLG models are applied to describe adsorption, ordering, and temperature programmed desorption (TPD) for individual CO/M(100) and O/M(100) reactant adlayers. In addition, they are also applied to predict mixed (CO + O)/M(100) adlayer structure on the nanoscale, the complete bifurcation diagram for reactive steady-states under continuous flow conditions, temperature programmed reaction (TPR) spectra, and titration reactions for the CO-oxidation reaction. Extensive and reasonably successful comparison of model predictions is made with experimental data. Furthermore, we discuss the possible transition from traditional mean-field-type bistability and reaction kinetics for lower-pressure to multistability and enhanced fluctuation effects for moderate- or higher-pressure. Behavior in the latter regime reflects a stronger influence of adspecies interactions and also lower diffusivity in the higher-coverage mixed adlayer.
We also analyze mesoscale spatiotemporal behavior including the propagation of reaction diffusion fronts between bistable reactive and inactive states, and associated nucleation-mediated transitions between these states. This behavior is controlled by complex surface mass transport processes, specifically chemical diffusion in mixed reactant adlayers for which we provide a precise theoretical formulation. The msLG models together with an appropriate treatment of chemical diffusivity enable equation-free heterogeneous coupled lattice-gas (HCLG) simulations of spatiotemporal behavior. In addition, msLG + HCLG modeling can describe coverage variations across polycrystalline catalysts surfaces, pressure variations across catalyst surfaces in microreactors, and could be incorporated into a multiphysics framework to describe mass and heat transfer limitations for high-pressure catalysis.

ID PERMITTIVITY MEASUREMENTS
AB Microwave frequency electromagnetic properties are critical for understanding and predicting the heating and ignition behavior of explosives subjected to microwave irradiation. In this work we report relative complex permittivity measurements in the X-band (8-12GHz) for 13 neat explosives measured by the circular cavity technique. This data set was then used in conjunction with COMSOL 4.3 Multiphysics((R)) finite element analysis software to design and simulate a low power (100W), high electric field X-band microwave applicator. The role of the sample holder on our ability to directly study the response of explosives to electromagnetic energy is examined and shown to be critical. Times to ignition were predicted for PETN, TATB, and HMX and indicate that for the proposed applicator and considered properties ignition may occur in less than one second exposure. These predictions show that explosives can be effectively heated in short time scales through direct microwave heating without absorptive binders or inclusions.

AB Small-angle neutron scattering techniques were used to study the evolution of void morphology with pressed density of the insensitive high explosive, TATB. Samples were studied as a loose powder and as pressed pellets, ranging in density from approx. 1 to 1.804gcm(-3). Inter-granular voids in the loose powder were randomly arranged (non-fractal) and had a surface defined mean size of 0.66m. Pressing was found to induce a fractal network of voids with fractally rough interfaces. The surface-defined mean void size of the pressed samples was between 0.21-0.33m over the range of densities studied and was found to increase with pressed density up to 1.720gcm(-3), decreasing thereafter. The volume fractal dimension, indicative of the void arrangement, mirrored the changes in the mean void size. No systematic change in the surface fractal dimension was found. Surface area analysis allowed the average TATB grain size within the pressed samples to be quantified. An initial decrease of the mean grain size followed by an increase with pressed density suggests that the TATB grains behave in a brittle fashion at low densities and ductile at higher pressed densities.

AB Liquid phase catalytic hydrogenation of decomposition products of sugar molecules is challenging, but essential to produce platform chemicals and green chemicals from biomass. The Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley (MPV) reduction chemistry is an excellent choice for the hydrogenation of keto compounds. The energy landscapes for the liquid phase catalytic hydrogenation of ethyl levulinate (EL) and furfural (FF) by Sn(IV) and Zr(IV) zeolite-like catalytic sites utilizing the hydrogen atoms from an isopropanol (IPA) solvent are explored using quantum chemical methods. The computed apparent activation free energy for the catalytic hydrogenation of EL by a Sn(IV) zeolite-like catalyst model site is (21.9 kcal/mol), which is close to the Al(III)-isopropoxide catalyzed (20.7 kcal/mol) EL hydrogenation indicating the similar efficiency of the Sn(IV) zeolite-like catalyst compared with the Al(III) catalyst used in the traditional MPV reactions. The catalytic efficiency of metal isopropoxides for the catalytic hydrogenation of EL is computed to be Al(III) > Sn(IV) > Zr(IV) in IPA solution, in agreement with experiment. Calculations were also performed with furfuryl alcohol as the source for hydrogen for the conversion of EL to gamma-valerolactone using the Sn(IV) catalytic site. The barrier (22.7 kcal/mol) suggests a hydrogenation using aromatic primary alcohol as a hydrogen donor and using a Sn(IV) catalyst is feasible. In terms of reaction mechanisms, an intramolecular hydride transfer through a six membered transition state was found to be the turnover controlling transition state of liquid phase catalytic hydrogenation of carbonyl compounds considered in this study.

AB A hybrid adsorbent-catalytic nanostructured material consisting of aminopropyl groups and nickel nanoparticles immobilized in mesoporous silica nanoparticles (AP-Ni-MSN) was employed to selectively capture free fatty acids (FFAs) and convert them into saturated hydrocarbons. The working principle of these sorbent-catalytic particles was initially tested in the hydrogenation of oleic acid. Besides providing selectivity for the capture of FFAs, the adsorbent groups also affected the selectivity of the hydrogenation reaction, shifting the chemistry from hydrocracking-based (Ni) to hydrotreating-based and improving the carbon economy of the process. This approach was ultimately evaluated by the selective sequestration of FFAs from crude microalgal oil and their subsequent conversion into liquid hydrocarbons, demonstrating the suitability of this design for the refinery of renewable feedstocks.

AB The most active photocatalyst system for water splitting under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation (270 nm) is the promoted 0.2% NiO/NaTaO3:2% La photocatalyst with an optimized photonic efficiency of 56%, but fundamental issues about the nature of the surface catalytic active sites and their involvement in the photocatalytic process still need to be clarified. This is the first study to apply cutting-edge surface spectroscopic analyses to determine the surface nature of tantalum mixed oxide photocatalysts. Surface analysis with high-resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (1-3 nm) and high-sensitivity low-energy ion scattering spectroscopy (0.3 nm) indicates that the NiO and La2O3 promoters are concentrated in the surface region of the bulk NaTaO3 phase. The NiO is concentrated on the NaTaO3 outermost surface layers, while La2O3 is distributed throughout the NaTaO3 surface region (1-3 nm). Raman and UV-vis spectroscopy revealed that the bulk molecular and electronic structures, respectively, of NaTaO3 were not modified by the addition of the La2O3 and NiO promoters, with La2O3 resulting in a slightly more ordered structure. Photoluminescence spectroscopy reveals that the addition of La2O3 and NiO produces a greater number of electron traps resulting in the suppression of the recombination of excited electrons and holes. In contrast to earlier reports, La2O3 is only a textural promoter (increasing the BET surface area by similar to 7-fold by stabilizing smaller NaTaO3 particles) and causes an 3-fold decrease in the specific photocatalytic TORs (micromoles of H-2 per square meter per hour) rate because surface La2O3 blocks exposed catalytic active NaTaO3 sites. The NiO promoter was found to be a potent electronic promoter that enhances the NaTaO3 surface-normalized TORs by a factor of similar to 10-50 and turnover frequency by a factor of similar to 10. The level of NiO promotion is the same in the absence and presence of La2O3, demonstrating that there is no promotional synergistic interaction between the NiO and La2O3 promoters. This study demonstrates the important contributions of the photocatalyst surface properties to the fundamental molecular/electronic structure-photoactivity relationships of promoted NaTaO3 photocatalysts that were previously not appreciated in the literature.

AB The reactivity of homogeneous oxovanadium and copper catalysts toward aerobic oxidation of phenolic and nonphenolic beta-1 lignin model compounds has been investigated. Aerobic oxidation of diastereomeric, nonphenolic beta-1 lignin models (1T, 1E) using the six-coordinate vanadium complex (HQ)(2)V-v(O)((OPr)-Pr-i) (HQ = 8-oxyquinolinate) as a precatalyst in pyridine afforded ketone (3) and dehydrated ketone (4) derived from oxidation. of the secondary alcohol. In contrast, using CuOTf/2,6-lutidine/TEMPO (OTf = trifluoromethanesulfonate, TEMPO = 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidin-1-yl-oxyl) in toluene for the same reaction afforded 3,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde (5) and 4-methoxybenzaldehyde (6) as major products resulting from C-alpha-C-beta bond cleavage. Reactions of the corresponding phenolic lignin model compounds (2T, 2E) with 10 mol % CuOTf/2,6-lutidine/TEMPO gave ketone (9) as the major product, whereas 10 mol % (HQ)(2)V-v(O)((OPr)-Pr-i) or a stoichiometric amount of CuOTf/2,6-lutidine/TEMPO yielded 2,6-dimethoxybenzoquinone (10) as the major product, arising from cleavage of the C-aryl-C-alpha bond. Different selectivity was observed in the oxidation of 2T, 2E using the five-coordinate complex (dipic)V-v(O)((OPr)-Pr-i) (dipic = dipicolinate), with alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehyde (14) as the major product (formed from oxidation of the primary alcohol and dehydration). The key differences in chemoselectivity between the vanadium and copper catalysts in the oxidations of these phenolic and nonphenolic beta-1 lignin models are discussed.

AB Vertically aligned platinum nickel (Pt-Ni) alloy nanorod arrays were grown on glassy carbon electrodes using a magnetron sputtering glancing angle deposition (GLAD) technique. X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy results show that the as-deposited nanorods are alloys and that the alloy composition and geometric properties of Pt-Ni nanorods can be changed by controlling the GLAD deposition parameters. The GLAD Pt-Ni nanorod electrodes were investigated as potential electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and rotating-disk electrode (RDE) techniques in aqueous perchloric acid electrolyte. The electrochemically active surface area (ECA), determined from the charge for hydrogen adsorption and desorption in the CVs, was estimated to be a factor of 3 or more larger than the geometric surface area of the nanorods. The ORR mass-specific activity of the Pt-Ni nanorods was found to be a factor of 2.3-3.5 higher than that of pure Pt nanorods of the same dimensions and increase with increasing Ni content, whereas ORR area-specific activity enhancement was only observed for the nanorods with the highest Pt content. In addition, the Pt-Ni nanorods were found to have higher stability against loss of ECA during potential cycling than Pt nanorods and conventional high-surface-area-carbon-supported Pt nanoparticles.

AB We present results from a season of observations with the Chinese Small Telescope ARray, obtained over 183 days of the 2010 Antarctic winter. We carried out high-cadence time-series aperture photometry of 9125 stars with i less than or similar to 15.3 mag located in a 23 deg(2) region centered on the south celestial pole. We identified 188 variable stars, including 67 new objects relative to our 2008 observations, thanks to broader synoptic coverage, a deeper magnitude limit, and a larger field of view. We used the photometric data set to derive site statistics from Dome A. Based on two years of observations, we find that extinction due to clouds at this site is less than 0.1 and 0.4 mag during 45% and 75% of the dark time, respectively.

AB Using supported rhodium-based catalysts to produce alcohols from syngas provides an alternative route to conventional fermentation methods. If left unpromoted, Rh catalysts have a strong selectivity towards methane. However, promotion with early transition metal elements has been shown to be effective to increase alcohol selectivity. Therefore, a key design objective is to increase the promoter-metal interaction to maximize their effectiveness. This can be achieved by the use of the strong electrostatic adsorption (SEA) method, which utilizes pH control to steer the promoter precursor (in this case MnO4-) onto Rh oxide supported on SiO2. Mn-promoted catalysts were synthesized by both SEA and traditional incipient wetness impregnation (IWI) and subsequently characterized by STEM and extended X-ray absorption fine structure methods. Using STEM-electron energy loss spectroscopy mapping, catalysts prepared by SEA were shown to have a higher degree of interaction between the promoter and the active metal. The reduction behavior of the catalysts obtained by X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy and temperature-programmed reduction demonstrated a minimal change in Rh if promoted by SEA. However, catalytic results for CO hydrogenation revealed that a significant improvement of ethanol selectivity is achieved if the promoter was prepared by SEA in comparison with the promoter prepared by IWI. These results suggest that intimate interaction between the promoter and the metal is a critical factor for improving selectivity to higher alcohols.

AB As an early attempt to tune the selectivity of Cu catalysts through oxide deposition, we performed DFT calculations to study the water-gas shift (WGS) and CO oxidation reactions at the interface of Cu(111) modified by TiO2 clusters [TiO2/Cu(111)]. Pure Cu catalyzes both reactions, though the overall conversion is hindered by either H2O dissociation or O-2 dissociation. Our results show that after depositing TiO2, TiO2/Cu(111) promotes the CO oxidation reaction and suppresses the WGS reaction. The active Ti3fCu site at the TiO2/Cu(111) interface plays an essential role in tuning the selectivity. During the CO oxidation reaction, the Ti3fCu site enables the facile O-2 dissociation at the interface, which leads to the oxidation of the surface layer on Cu(111) and the formation of Cu2O. According to our calculations, the produced TiO2/Cu2O(111) interface is active toward CO oxidation, which not only binds O-2 and CO well but also enables a facile OO bond cleavage via the OOCO intermediate. During the WGS reaction, the Ti3fCu site is poisoned by CO and the rate-limiting H2O dissociation and therefore the overall WGS is hindered. The results suggest that high selectivity, one of the focuses for next generation catalysts, can be achieved by modifying the chemical properties of the interface.

AB Despite significant research efforts, designing bimetallic catalysts rationally remains a challenging task. Herein, we combine the strengths of high-throughput experiments and DFT calculations synergistically to design new core-shell bimetallic catalysts. The total oxidation of propane is used as a probe, proof-of-concept reaction. The methodology is successful in designing three bimetallic catalysts. Of these catalysts, AgPd is cheaper, more active than the existing most active single-metal catalyst (Pt), and stable under the reaction conditions. Extended X-ray absorption fine structure characterization confirms the formation of a bimetallic alloy. This study provides a path forward for designing bimetallic catalysts rationally for vapor phase metal-catalyzed reactions.

AB ZnO and Li-doped ZnO photocatalysts were prepared by using a solvothermal method, aided by a supercritical drying technique. The structure and morphology of the photocatalysts were investigated by using SEM, X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV/Vis and Raman spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activity and selectivity were investigated in the aqueous-phase photodegradation of methylene blue and phenol as model reactions. Herein, it is reported for the first time that Li doping can lead to significant deactivation of the photocatalytic activity (i.e., decreased oxidization capability) of ZnO materials. The distribution of intermediate products (i.e., selectivity) was also significantly modified in the decomposition of phenol catalyzed by Li-doped ZnO compared to that catalyzed by ZnO. Photoluminescence (PL) and soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) studies suggested that dopant-induced surface-defect states acted as electron-hole combination centers and changed the adsorbate/surface binding, thus causing the deactivation of photocatalytic activity and altering the photocatalytic selectivity in Li-doped ZnO materials.

AB White light-emitting diodes represent the future generation of domestic and public lighting, substituting the currently favored (compact) fluorescent lamps. Research on improving the performance and costs leads to a focus on processing constraints. The optimization of the grain size is judged to be an important tool for minimizing the necessary amount of (expensive rare-earth containing) phosphors. Using only one type of phosphor that emits white light instead of a mixture of three phosphors (one for blue, green, and red, respectively) will significantly improve the characteristics of future light-emitting diodes. Small, 6-8nm-sized particles emit intense white light observable by the naked eye. The emission color has been studied by varying the dopant ion concentrations as well as the excitation wavelengths, yielding white light close to standard daylight.

ID DEMAND-CONTROLLED VENTILATION; SIMULATION; BEHAVIOR; STRATEGY; SYSTEMS
AB Energy simulation programs like DOE-2 and EnergyPlus are tools that have been proven to aid with energy calculations to predict energy use in buildings. Some inputs to energy simulation models are relatively easy to find, including building size, orientation, construction materials, and HVAC system size and type. Others vary with time (e.g. weather and occupancy) and some can be a challenge to estimate in order to create an accurate simulation. In this paper, the analysis of occupancy sensor data for a large commercial, multi-tenant office building is presented. It details occupancy diversity factors for private offices and summarizes the same for open offices, hallways, conference rooms, break rooms, and restrooms in order to better inform energy simulation parameters. Long-term data were collected allowing results to be presented to show variations of occupancy diversity factors in private offices for time of day, day of the week, holidays, and month of the year. The diversity factors presented differ as much as 46% from those currently published in ASHRAE 90.1 2004 energy cost method guidelines, a document referenced by energy modelers regarding occupancy diversity factors for simulations. This may result in misleading simulation results and may introduce inefficiencies in the final equipment and systems design. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB The use of alternative fuels and advanced light-duty vehicle (LDV) technologies is gaining momentum worldwide in order to reduce petroleum consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. The US. Department of Energy (DOE) has developed technical and cost targets at the component level for several advanced LDV technologies such as plug-in hybrid, battery electric, and fuel cell electric vehicles as well as cost targets for low-carbon fuels. DOE, Argonne National Laboratory (Argonne), and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) recently updated their analysis of well-to-wheels (WW) greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions, petroleum use, and the cost of ownership of vehicle technologies that have the potential to significantly reduce GHG emissions and petroleum consumption. A comprehensive assessment of how these alternative fuels and vehicle technologies options could cost-effectively meet the future carbon emissions and oil consumption targets has been conducted. This paper estimates the ownership cost and the potential reduction of WTW carbon emissions and oil consumption associated with alternative fuels and advanced LDV technologies. Efficient LDVs and low-carbon fuels can contribute to a substantial reduction in GHG emissions from the current 200-230 g/km for typical compact (small family) size diesel and gasoline vehicles. With RD&D success, the ownership costs of various advanced powertrains deployed in the 2035 time frame will likely converge, thus enhancing the probability of their market penetration. To attain market success, it is necessary that public and private sectors coordinate RD&D investments and incentive programs aiming at both reducing the cost of advanced vehicle technologies and establishing required fuel infrastructures.

AB We investigated the phase equilibrium boundary of tri-n-butylphosphine oxide (TBPO) semiclathrate hydrates incorporated with CH4, CO2, and H-2. TBPO aqueous solutions with a molality (m) of (1.61 and 1.98) mol.kg(-1) were used for hydrate formation, which corresponded to the clathrate structures of TBPO. 34.5H(2)O and 28H(2)O, respectively. The phase boundary at both concentrations was shifted to the promotion region represented by lower pressures and higher temperatures, compared to each simple gas hydrate. In particular, TBPO + CO2 double hydrate presented mild hydrate stabilization conditions of <1 MPa at (280 to 285) K. Additionally, the dissociation enthalpy (Delta H-d) calculated from the phase boundary curves for the TBPO + CO2 double hydrates was almost the same as that for tetra-n-butylammonium bromide (TBAB) + CO2 double hydrate (219.5 kJ.mol(-1) for m = 1.61 mol.kg(-1) and 211.6 kj.mol(-1) for m = 1.98 mol.kg(-1)). These results demonstrate that the TBPO + CO2 double hydrate could be used as refrigerants for storage and transportation.

AB A massively parallel, direct quantum molecular dynamics method is described. The method combines a quantum trajectory (QT) representation of the nuclear wave function discretized into an ensemble of trajectories with an electronic structure (ES) description of electrons, namely using the density functional tight binding (DFTB) theory. Quantum nuclear effects are included into the dynamics of the nuclei via quantum corrections to the classical forces. To reduce computational cost and increase numerical accuracy, the quantum corrections to dynamics resulting from localization of the nuclear wave function are computed approximately and included into selected degrees of freedom representing light particles where the quantum effects are expected to be the most pronounced. A massively parallel implementation, based on the message passing interface allows for efficient simulations of ensembles of thousands of trajectories at once. The QTES-DFTB dynamics approach is employed to study the role of quantum nuclear effects on the interaction of hydrogen with a model graphene sheet, revealing that neglect of nuclear effects can lead to an overestimation of adsorption.

AB Long-range dispersion interactions have a critical influence on physical quantities in simulations of inhomogeneous systems. However, the perceived computational overhead of long-range solvers has until recently discouraged their implementation in molecular dynamics packages. Here, we demonstrate that reducing the cutoff radius for local interactions in the recently introduced particle-particle particle-mesh (PPPM) method for dispersion [Isele-Holder et al., J. Chem. Phys., 2012, 137, 174107] can actually often be faster than truncating dispersion interactions. In addition, because all long-range dispersion interactions are incorporated, physical inaccuracies that arise from truncating the potential can be avoided. Simulations using PPPM or other mesh Ewald solvers for dispersion can provide results more accurately and more efficiently than simulations that truncate dispersion interactions. The use of mesh-based approaches for dispersion is now a viable alternative for all simulations containing dispersion interactions and not merely those where inhomogeneities were motivating factors for their use. We provide a set of parameters for the dispersion PPPM method using either ik or analytic differentiation that we recommend for future use and demonstrate increased simulation efficiency by using the long-range dispersion solver in a series of performance tests on massively parallel computers.

AB Presented is a polarizable force field based on a classical Drude oscillator framework, currently implemented in the programs CHARMM and NAMD, for modeling and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation studies of peptides and proteins. Building upon parameters for model compounds representative of the functional groups in proteins, the development of the force field focused on the optimization of the parameters for the polypeptide backbone and the connectivity between the backbone and side chains. Optimization of the backbone electrostatic parameters targeted quantum mechanical conformational energies, interactions with water, molecular dipole moments and polarizabilities, and experimental condensed phase data for short polypeptides such as (Ala)(5). Additional optimization of the backbone phi, psi conformational preferences included adjustments of the tabulated two-dimensional spline function through the CMAP term. Validation of the model included simulations of a collection of peptides and proteins. This first generation polarizable model is shown to maintain the folded state of the studied systems on the 100 ns time scale in explicit solvent MD simulations. The Drude model typically yields larger RMS differences as compared to the additive CHARMM36 force field (C36) and shows additional flexibility as compared to the additive model. Comparison with NMR chemical shift data shows a small degradation of the polarizable model with respect to the additive, though the level of agreement may be considered satisfactory. However, the polarizable model shows improvement for the residues with significantly underestimated S-2 order parameters in the additive model. Analysis of dipole moments associated with the peptide backbone and tryptophan side chains show the Drude model to have considerably larger values than those present in C36, with the dipole moments of the peptide backbone enhanced to a greater extent in sheets versus helices and the dipoles of individual moieties observed to undergo large variations during the MD simulations. Although there are still some limitations, the presented model, termed Drude-2013, is anticipated to yield a molecular picture of peptide and protein structure and function that will be of increased physical validity and internal consistency in a computationally accessible fashion.

AB A parallel implementation of analytical time-dependent density functional theory gradients is presented for the quantum chemistry program NWChem. The implementation is based on the Lagrangian approach developed by Furche and Ahlrichs. To validate our implementation, we first calculate the Stokes shifts for a range of organic dye molecules using a diverse set of exchange-correlation functionals (traditional density functionals, global hybrids, and range-separated hybrids) followed by simulations of the one-photon absorption and resonance Raman scattering spectrum of the phenoxyl radical, the well-studied dye molecule rhodamine 6G, and a molecular host-guest complex (TTF subset of CBPQT(4+)). The study of organic dye molecules illustrates that B3LYP and CAM-B3LYP generally give the best agreement with experimentally determined Stokes shifts unless the excited state is a charge transfer state. Absorption, resonance Raman, and fluorescence simulations for the phenoxyl radical indicate that explicit solvation may be required for accurate characterization. For the host-guest complex and rhodamine 6G, it is demonstrated that absorption spectra can be simulated in good agreement with experimental data for most exchange-correlation functionals. However, because one-photon absorption spectra generally lack well-resolved vibrational features, resonance Raman simulations are necessary to evaluate the accuracy of the exchange-correlation functional for describing a potential energy surface.

AB A polarizable and transferable intermolecular potential energy function, potentials with high accuracy, speed, and transferability (PHAST), has been developed from first principles for molecular nitrogen to be used in the modeling of heterogeneous processes such as materials sorption and separations. A five-site (van der Waals and point charge) anisotropic model, that includes many-body polarization, is proposed. It is parametrized to reproduce high-level electronic structure calculations (CCSD(T) using Dunning-type basis sets extrapolated to the CBS limit) for a representative set of dimer potential energy curves. Thus it provides a relatively simple yet robust and broadly applicable representation of nitrogen. Two versions are developed, differing by the type of mixing rules applied to unlike Lennard-Jones potential sites. It is shown that the Waldman-Hagler mixing rules are more accurate than Lorentz-Berthelot. The resulting potentials are demonstrated to be effective in modeling neat nitrogen but are designed to also be useful in modeling N-2 interactions in a large array of environments such as metal organic frameworks and zeolites and at interfaces. In such settings, capturing anisotropic forces and interactions with (open and coordinated) metals and charged/polar environments is essential. In developing the potential, it was found that adding a seemingly redundant dimer orientation, slip-parallel(s), improved the transferability of the potential energy surface (PES). Notably, one of the solid phases of nitrogen was not as accurately represented energetically without including S in the representative set. Liquid simulations, however, were unaffected and worked equally well for both potentials. This suggests that accounting for a wide variety of configurations is critical in designing a potential that is intended for use in heterogeneous environments where many orientations, including those not commonly explored in the bulk, are possible. Testing and validation of the potential are achieved via simulations of a thermal distribution of trimer geometries compared to analogous high level electronic structure calculations and molecular simulations of bulk pressure density isotherms across the vapor, supercritical, and liquid phases. Crystal lattice parameters and energetics of the alpha-N-2 and gamma-N-2 solid phases are also evaluated and determined to be in good agreement with experiment. Thus the proposed potential is shown to be efficacious for gas, liquid, and solid use, representing both disordered and ordered configurations.

AB We perform a large-scale statistical analysis (>2000 independent simulations) of the elongation and rupture of gold nanowires, probing the validity and scope of the recently proposed ductile-to-brittle transition that occurs with increasing nanowire length [Wu et al. Nano Lett. 2012, 12, 910-914]. To facilitate a high-throughput simulation approach, we implement the second-moment approximation to the tight-binding (TB-SMA) potential within HOOMD-Blue, a molecular dynamics package which runs on massively parallel graphics processing units (GPUs). In a statistical sense, we find that the nanowires obey the ductile-to-brittle model quite well; however, we observe several unexpected features from the simulations that build on our understanding of the ductile-to-brittle transition. First, occasional failure behavior is observed that qualitatively differs from that predicted by the model prediction; this is attributed to stochastic thermal motion of the Au atoms and occurs at temperatures as low as 10 K. In addition, we also find that the ductile-to-brittle model, which was developed using classical dislocation theory, holds for nanowires as small as 3 nm in diameter. Finally, we demonstrate that the nanowire critical length is higher at 298 K relative to 10 K, a result that is not predicted by the ductile-to-brittle model. These results offer practical design strategies for adjusting nanowire failure and structure and also demonstrate that GPU computing is an excellent tool for studies requiring a large number of independent trajectories in order to fully characterize a system's behavior.

AB The ability to map the functional connectivity of discrete cell types in the intact mammalian brain during behavior is crucial for advancing our understanding of brain function in normal and disease states. We combined designer receptor exclusively activated by designer drug (DREADD) technology and behavioral imaging with mu PET and [F-18]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) to generate whole-brain metabolic maps of cell-specific functional circuits during the awake, freely moving state. We have termed this approach DREADD-assisted metabolic mapping (DREAMM) and documented its ability in rats to map whole-brain functional anatomy. We applied this strategy to evaluating changes in the brain associated with inhibition of prodynorphin-expressing (Pdyn-expressing) and of proenkephalin-expressing (Penk-expressing) medium spiny neurons (MSNs) of the nucleus accumbens shell (NAcSh), which have been implicated in neuropsychiatric disorders. DREAMM revealed discrete behavioral manifestations and concurrent engagement of distinct corticolimbic networks associated with dysregulation of Pdyn and Penk in MSNs of the NAcSh. Furthermore, distinct neuronal networks were recruited in awake versus anesthetized conditions. These data demonstrate that DREAMM is a highly sensitive, molecular, high-resolution quantitative imaging approach.

AB Central nervous system (CNS) infection is a nearly universal facet of systemic HIV infection that varies in character and neurological consequences. While clinical staging and neuropsychological test performance have been helpful in evaluating patients, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers present a valuable and objective approach to more accurate diagnosis, assessment of treatment effects and understanding of evolving pathobiology. We review some lessons from our recent experience with CSF biomarker studies. We have used two approaches to biomarker analysis: targeted, hypothesis-driven and non-targeted exploratory discovery methods. We illustrate the first with data from a cross-sectional study of defined subject groups across the spectrum of systemic and CNS disease progression and the second with a longitudinal study of the CSF proteome in subjects initiating antiretroviral treatment. Both approaches can be useful and, indeed, complementary. The first is helpful in assessing known or hypothesized biomarkers while the second can identify novel biomarkers and point to broad interactions in pathogenesis. Common to both is the need for well-defined samples and subjects that span a spectrum of biological activity and biomarker concentrations. Previously-defined guide biomarkers of CNS infection, inflammation and neural injury are useful in categorizing samples for analysis and providing critical biological context for biomarker discovery studies. CSF biomarkers represent an underutilized but valuable approach to understanding the interactions of HIV and the CNS and to more objective diagnosis and assessment of disease activity. Both hypothesis-based and discovery methods can be useful in advancing the definition and use of these biomarkers.

AB Post-translational modifications (PTMs) play an important role in various biological processes through changing protein structure and function. Some ultramodified proteins (like histones) have multiple PTMs forming PTM patterns that define the functionality of a protein. While bottom-up mass spectrometry (MS) has been successful in identifying individual PTMs within short peptides, it is unable to identify PTM patterns spreading along entire proteins in a coordinated fashion. In contrast, top-down MS analyzes intact proteins and reveals PTM patterns along the entire proteins. However, while recent advances in instrumentation have made top-down MS accessible to many laboratories, most computational tools for top-down MS focus on proteins with few PTMs and are unable to identify complex PTM patterns. We propose a new algorithm, MS-Align-E, that identifies both expected and unexpected PTMs in ultramodified proteins. We demonstrate that MS-Align-E identifies many proteoforms of histone H4 and benchmark it against the currently accepted software tools.

AB Nacre is the iridescent inner lining of many mollusk shells, with a unique lamellar structure at the sub-micron scale, and remarkable resistance to fracture. Despite extensive studies, nacre formation mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Here we present 20-nm, 2 degrees-resolution polarization-dependent imaging contrast (PIC) images of shells from 15 mollusk species, mapping nacre tablets and their orientation patterns. These data show where new crystal orientations appear and how similar orientations propagate as nacre grows. In all shells we found stacks of co-oriented aragonite (CaCO3) tablets arranged into vertical columns or staggered diagonally. Near the nacre-prismatic (NP) boundary highly disordered spherulitic aragonite is nucleated. Overgrowing nacre tablet crystals are most frequently co-oriented with the underlying aragonite spherulites, or with another tablet. Away from the NP-boundary all tablets are nearly co-oriented in all species, with crystal lattice tilting, abrupt or gradual, always observed and always small (plus or minus 10). Therefore aragonite crystal growth in nacre is near-epitaxial. Based on these data, we propose that there is one mineral bridge per tablet, and that "bridge tilting" may occur without fracturing the bridge, hence providing the seed from which the next tablet grows near-epitaxially.

AB The response time (to change from maximum to minimum contact angleCA for a drop of water) on the electrospun poly(N-isoporpylacrylamide) (PNIPA)/polystyrene (PS) fiber mats of 380, 990, and 1500nm diameter fibers was found to be 4-5s; whereas, on the 16 mu m diameter fiber it was more than five times slower. While the reported switching times were limited by the experimental design, they are in the micro- to millisecond for fiber diameters ranging between 100 and 500nm, in theory. The temperature-dependent-switch in CA values is attributed to the hydrogen bonding capability of PNIPA with water. The closer to superhydrophobic CA values at 65 degrees C was successfully described by the Cassie-Baxter (CB) state equation. The superhydrophilicity at RT was explained by hydrogen bonding as well as capillary forces provided by the fiber mat. The variations in the larger fibers' changes are attributed to lower surface area with reduced capillary driving forces for droplet spread.

AB Rare-earth compounds based on the stoichiometry R-5(SixGe1-x)(4) (R = rare-earth elements) exhibit many unusual features, including possessing R-5(SixGe(1-x))(3) thin plates which always precipitate from the matrix despite efforts to suppress their formation. In an effort to better understand the unique relationship between these two intermetallic alloy systems, the bulk microstructure of the compound Gd5Ge3 was examined using scanning (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and optical microscopy. Surprisingly, SEM examination revealed a series of thin plates present in the Gd5Ge3 matrix similar to what is seen in Gd5Ge4. TEM observation revealed that a role reversal had occurred, with the thin plates possessing the orthorhombic structure and composition of Gd5Ge4. The orientation relationship between Gd5Ge4 thin plates and the Gd5Ge3 matrix was determined to be [1 0 (1) over bar 0] [1 (2) over bar 1 1)(m) parallel to [0 1 0] (1 0 (2) over bar)(p), the same relationship reported for Gd5Ge3 plates precipitating from a Gd5Ge4 matrix. However, by exchanging the respective roles of the phases as regards matrix vs. precipitate, the total number of precipitation variants seen can be increased from two to six. The persistence with which these two intermetallic systems co-exist is truly unique. However, understanding exactly the kinetic and thermodynamic conditions that lead to their unique relationship is hampered by the high formation temperatures at which the observed reaction occurs.

AB The complex multiwavelength emission of gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglow 130427A (monitored in the radio up to 10 d, in the optical and X-ray until 50 d, and at GeV energies until 1 d) can be accounted for by a hybrid reverse-forward shock synchrotron model, with inverse-Compton emerging only above a few GeV. The high ratio of the early optical to late radio flux requires that the ambient medium is a wind and that the forward-shock synchrotron spectrum peaks in the optical at about 10 ks. The latter has two consequences: the wind must be very tenuous and the optical emission before 10 ks must arise from the reverse-shock, as suggested also by the bright optical flash that Raptor has monitored during the prompt emission phase (< 100 s). The Very Large Array radio emission is from the reverse-shock, the Swift X-ray emission is mostly from the forward-shock, but the both shocks give comparable contributions to the Fermi GeV emission. The weak wind implies a large blast-wave radius (8t(day)(1/2) pc), which requires a very tenuous circumstellar medium, suggesting that the massive stellar progenitor of GRB 130427A resided in a superbubble.

AB We report the results of a new 60 ks Chandra X-ray Observatory Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer S-array (ACIS-S) observation of the reddened, radio-selected, highly polarized 'FeLoBAL' quasar FIRST J1556+3517. We investigated a number of models of varied sophistication to fit the 531-photon spectrum. These models ranged from simple power laws to power laws absorbed by hydrogen gas in differing ionization states and degrees of partial covering. Preferred fits indicate that the intrinsic X-ray flux is consistent with that expected for quasars of similarly high luminosity, i.e. an intrinsic, dereddened and unabsorbed optical to X-ray spectral index of -1.7. We cannot tightly constrain the intrinsic X-ray power-law slope, but find indications that it is flat (photon index Gamma = 1.7 or flatter at a > 99 per cent confidence for a neutral hydrogen absorber model). Absorption is present, with a column density a few times 10(23) cm(-2), with both partially ionized models and partially covering neutral hydrogen models providing good fits. We present several lines of argument that suggest the fraction of X-ray emissions associated with the radio jet is not large. We combine our Chandra data with observations from the literature to construct the spectral energy distribution of FIRST J1556+3517 from radio to X-ray energies. We make corrections for Doppler beaming for the pole-on radio jet, optical dust reddening and X-ray absorption, in order to recover a probable intrinsic spectrum. The quasar FIRST J1556+3517 seems to be an intrinsically normal radio-quiet quasar with a reddened optical/UV spectrum, a Doppler-boosted but intrinsically weak radio jet and an X-ray absorber not dissimilar from that of other broad absorption line quasars.

AB We present nebular spectra of the nearby Type IIb supernova (SN) 2011dh taken between 201 and 678 d after core collapse. At these late times, SN 2011dh exhibits strong emission lines including a broad and persistent H alpha feature. New models of the nebular spectra confirm that the progenitor of SN 2011dh was a low-mass giant (M approximate to 13-15 M-circle dot) that ejected similar to 0.07 M-circle dot of Ni-56 and similar to 0.27 M-circle dot of oxygen at the time of explosion, consistent with the recent disappearance of a candidate yellow supergiant progenitor. We show that light from the SN location is dominated by the fading SN at very late times (similar to 2 yr) and not, for example, by a binary companion or a background source. We present evidence for interaction between the expanding SN blast wave and a circumstellar medium at late times and show that the SN is likely powered by positron deposition greater than or similar to 1 yr after explosion. We also examine the geometry of the ejecta and show that the nebular line profiles of SN 2011dh indicate a roughly spherical explosion with aspherical components or clumps.

For Hg-215, Tl-215, Pb-215, and Pa-215 nuclei, no excited states are known. The decay characteristics of Hg-215 and (TI)-T-215 are unknown. The decay scheme of Pb-215 is considered as incomplete. Ordering of gamma cascades in the decay of 36.9-s isomer of Bi-215 and for high-spin states above 2251 key in Fr-215 are not established. High-spin excitations, including several isomeric states, are well known in Bi-215, (215)p0, R-215#, Fr-215, 2 15 Ra, and Ac-215. No particle-transfer reaction data are available for any of the A=215 nuclei.

AB The life story of Mikhail Vasilyevich Lomonosov (1711-1765) opens a window onto Russian science, politics, language, and social advancement in the era of Peter the Great (1672-1725). We cover Lomonosov's background and upbringing, from his birth in 1711 near Kholmogory until his departure for Moscow on foot in 1730. The special character of the Pomor region, in Russia's north, where Lomonosov was born and raised, is important for understanding his character, upbringing, and subsequent career trajectory. This character sprang from four overlapping factors: the isolation of the region, the political and religious tolerance that mainly prevailed there, the trade that brought the region into contact with foreigners, and the hardy lifestyle.

AB Phospholipid:diacylglycerol acyltransferase (PDAT) and diacylglycerol:acyl CoA acyltransferase play overlapping roles in triacylglycerol (TAG) assembly in Arabidopsis, and are essential for seed and pollen development, but the functional importance of PDAT in vegetative tissues remains largely unknown. Taking advantage of the Arabidopsis tgd1-1 mutant that accumulates oil in vegetative tissues, we demonstrate here that PDAT1 is crucial for TAG biosynthesis in growing tissues. We show that disruption of PDAT1 in the tgd1-1 mutant background causes serious growth retardation, gametophytic defects and premature cell death in developing leaves. Lipid analysis data indicated that knockout of PDAT1 results in increases in the levels of free fatty acids (FFAs) and diacylglycerol. In vivo(14)C-acetate labeling experiments showed that, compared with wild-type, tgd1-1 exhibits a 3.8-fold higher rate of fatty acid synthesis (FAS), which is unaffected by disruption or over-expression of PDAT1, indicating a lack of feedback regulation of FAS in tgd1-1. We also show that detached leaves of both pdat1-2 and tgd1-1 pdat1-2 display increased sensitivity to FFA but not to diacylglycerol. Taken together, our results reveal a critical role for PDAT1 in mediating TAG synthesis and thereby protecting against FFA-induced cell death in fast-growing tissues of plants.

AB We have characterized a -glucuronosyltransferase (AtGlcAT14A) from Arabidopsis thaliana that is involved in the biosynthesis of typeII arabinogalactan (AG). This enzyme belongs to the Carbohydrate Active Enzyme database glycosyltransferase family14 (GT14). The protein was localized to the Golgi apparatus when transiently expressed in Nicotiana benthamiana. The soluble catalytic domain expressed in Pichia pastoris transferred glucuronic acid (GlcA) to -1,6-galactooligosaccharides with degrees of polymerization (DP) ranging from 3-11, and to -1,3-galactooligosaccharides of DP5 and 7, indicating that the enzyme is a glucuronosyltransferase that modifies both the -1,6- and -1,3-galactan present in typeII AG. Two allelic T-DNA insertion mutant lines showed 20-35% enhanced cell elongation during seedling growth compared to wild-type. Analyses of AG isolated from the mutants revealed a reduction of GlcA substitution on Gal--1,6-Gal and -1,3-Gal, indicating an in vivo role of AtGlcAT14A in synthesis of those structures in typeII AG. Moreover, a relative increase in the levels of 3-, 6- and 3,6-linked galactose (Gal) and reduced levels of 3-, 2- and 2,5-linked arabinose (Ara) were seen, suggesting that the mutation in AtGlcAT14A results in a relative increase of the longer and branched -1,3- and -1,6-galactans. This increase of galactosylation in the mutants is most likely caused by increased availability of the O6 position of Gal, which is a shared acceptor site for AtGlcAT14A and galactosyltransferases in synthesis of typeII AG, and thus addition of GlcA may terminate Gal chain extension. We discuss a role for the glucuronosyltransferase in the biosynthesis of typeII AG, with a biological role during seedling growth.

AB Increased accumulation of specific carotenoids in plastids through plant breeding or genetic engineering requires an understanding of the limitations that storage sites for these compounds may impose on that accumulation. Here, using Capsicum annuum L. fruit, we demonstrate directly the unique sub-organellar accumulation sites of specific carotenoids using live cell hyperspectral confocal Raman microscopy. Further, we show that chromoplasts from specific cultivars vary in shape and size, and these structural variations are associated with carotenoid compositional differences. Live-cell imaging utilizing laser scanning confocal (LSCM) and confocal Raman microscopy, as well as fixed tissue imaging by scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM), all demonstrated morphological differences with high concordance for the measurements across the multiple imaging modalities. These results reveal additional opportunities for genetic controls on fruit color and carotenoid-based phenotypes.

AB Activity patterns of fledgling storks (Ciconiidae) during the parental-dependency period are poorly understood for many species, including the Wood Stork (Mycteria americana). Satellite telemetry was used to track the movements of fledgling Wood Storks (n = 50) from the time they attained minimum flight capabilities until dispersal from the natal colony. Distances traveled, range size, and habitat use by fledgling Wood Storks were quantified for early (prior to the final week before dispersal) and late (the final week before dispersal) predispersal periods and for the entire predispersal period as a whole. Metrics were compared among three colonies and between two years at a single colony using nonparametric tests. For the entire predispersal period, the mean daily maximum distance of juvenile Wood Storks from their nest was 1.39 +/- 0.2 km (median = 0.18 and maximum = 103.13) and the mean cumulative distance moved per day was 2.38 +/- 0.28 km (median = 0.45 and maximum = 110.58). Movement distances differed among colonies and between years, while core and total ranges were similar regardless of location. The majority of locations (84%) occurred within colony boundaries, 95% occurred within 1.0 km of the colony and 98% occurred within 3.5 km of the colony. Flight distances did not increase linearly with time and instead followed a Poisson distribution, increasing sharply during the final week before dispersal. Habitat management recommendations for juvenile Wood Storks are to preserve wetland features within a 1.0-3.5 km zone around a colony.

AB Here, a 1.82 angstrom resolution X-ray structure of a glycoside hydrolase family 74 (GH74) enzyme from Acidothermus cellulolyticus is reported. The resulting structure was refined to an R factor of 0.150 and an R-free of 0.196. Structural analysis shows that five related structures have been reported with a secondary-structure similarity of between 75 and 89%. The five similar structures were all either Clostridium thermocellum or Geotrichum sp. M128 GH74 xyloglucanases. Structural analysis indicates that the A. cellulolyticus GH74 enzyme is an endoxyloglucanase, as it lacks a characteristic loop that blocks one end of the active site in exoxyloglucanases. Superimposition with the C. thermocellum GH74 shows that Asp451 and Asp38 are the catalytic residues.

AB One way that bacteria regulate the transcription of specific genes to adapt to environmental challenges is to use different sigma factors that direct the RNA polymerase holoenzyme to distinct promoters. Unlike sigma(70) RNA polymerase (RNAP), sigma(54) RNAP is unable to initiate transcription without an activator: enhancer-binding protein (EBP). All EBPs contain one ATPase domain that belongs to the family of ATPases associated with various cellular activities (AAA+ ATPases). AAA+ ATPases use the energy of ATP hydrolysis to remodel different target macromolecules to perform distinct functions. These mechanochemical enzymes are known to form ring-shaped oligomers whose conformations strongly depend upon nucleotide status. Here, the crystallization of the AAA+ ATPase domain of an EBP from Aquifex aeolicus, NtrC1, in the presence of the non-hydrolyzable ATP analog ADP-BeFx is reported. X-ray diffraction data were collected from two crystals from two different protein fractions of the NtrC1 ATPase domain. Previously, this domain was co-crystallized with ADP and ATP, but the latter crystals were grown from the Walker B substitution variant E239A. Therefore, the new data sets are the first for a wild-type EBP ATPase domain co-crystallized with an ATP analog and they reveal a new crystal form. The resulting structure(s) will shed light on the mechanism of EBP-type transcription activators.

AB Density functional theory calculations have been carried out to study the stability and migration of charged oxygen interstitials in ThO2 and CeO2. The calculations demonstrate that the oxygen interstitial is likely to lose electrons under p-type conditions and gain electrons under n-type conditions. Neutral (O-split(0)) and singly positive (O-split(+)) O-O < 1 1 0 > split interstitials, and doubly negative octahedral (O-octa.(2-)) oxygen interstitial are found to be the lowest-energy configurations within a certain Fermi energy range. In both oxides, the O-split(0) is the most mobile, and the migration energies of the split oxygen interstitials in ThO2 are lower than in CeO2, indicating higher oxygen interstitial mobility in ThO2 than in CeO2.

AB At high pressures zirconium undergoes a phase transformation from the hexagonal closed packed (hcp) alpha-phase to the simple hexagonal omega-phase. In high purity Zr and under shock loading conditions the phase transformation has been observed to begin at approximately 7 GPa [1]. Evolution of the plastic response and phase transformation during dynamic loading is not well understood and therefore the contributions of this evolution to strength and damage are not well predicted. Here, through a combination of post-mortem and in situ techniques, different dynamic drive conditions are utilized to create a set of specimens with various volume fractions of retained high pressure omega-phase and stored plastic work. The mechanical properties of these well-characterized microstructures are subsequently examined. The results indicate that while both plastic deformation and the volume fraction of the high pressure phase play important roles in determining subsequent material properties, the effect of texture evolution due to plastic work may be of critical importance in determining these properties. This finding sheds an insight into strength under pressure. (C) 2013 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB Aluminum alloy 1050 was processed by equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) using a single pass (equivalent uniaxial strain of about 0.88). Long-range internal stresses (LRISs) were assessed in the grain/subgrain interiors using X-ray microbeam diffraction to measure the spacing of {5 3 1} planes, with normals oriented approximately +27.3 degrees, +4.9 degrees and -17.5 degrees off the pressing (axial) direction. The results are consistent with mechanical analysis that suggests the maximum tensile plastic-strain after one pass is expected for +22.5 degrees, roughly zero along the pressing axis, and maximum compressive strain for the -67.5 degrees direction. The magnitude of the measured maximum compressive long-range internal stress is about 0.13 sigma(a) (applied stress) in low-dislocation regions within the grain/subgrain interiors. This work is placed in the context of earlier work where convergent beam electron diffraction was used to analyze LRISs in close proximity to the deformation-induced boundaries. The results are complementary and the measured stresses are consistent with a composite model for long-range internal stresses. (C) 2013 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

AB Nanocrystalline tantalum (grain size similar to 70 nm) prepared by severe plastic deformation (high-pressure torsion) from monocrystalline [1 0 0] stock was subjected to shock compression generated by high-energy laser (similar to 350-850 J), creating pressure pulses with initial duration of similar to 3 ns and amplitudes of up to similar to 145 GPa. The laser beam, with a spot radius of similar to 1 mm, created a crater of significant depth (similar to 135 mu m). Transmission electron microscopy revealed few dislocations within the grains and an absence of twins at the highest shock pressure, in contrast with monocrystalline tantalum. Hardness measurements were conducted and show a rise as the energy deposition surface is approached, evidence of shock-induced defects. The grain size was found to increase at a distance of 100 mu m from the energy deposition surface as a result of thermally induced grain growth. The experimentally measured dislocation densities are compared with predictions using analyses based on physically based constitutive models, and the similarities and differences are discussed in terms of the mechanisms of defect generation. A constitutive model for the onset of twinning, based on a critical shear stress level, is applied to the shock compression configuration. The predicted threshold pressure at which the deviatoric component of stress for slip exceeds the one for twinning is calculated and it is shown that it is increased from similar to 24 GPa for the monocrystalline to similar to 150 GPa for the nanocrystalline tantalum (above the range of the present experiments). Calculations using the Hu Rath analysis show that grain growth induced by the post shock-induced temperature rise is consistent with the experimental results: grains grow from 70 to 800 nm within the post-shock cooling regime when subjected to a laser pulse with energy of 684 J.

AB This study focuses on the role of strain and thin film epitaxy on the semiconductor-to-metal transition (SMT) characteristics of single crystalline VO2 thin films. The VO2/TiO2 heterostructures of controlled orientations were epitaxially grown on m-cut, r-cut and c-cut sapphire substrates. Detailed structural investigations were performed using high-resolution X-ray diffraction (2 theta-theta and phi scans) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy techniques to correlate SMT properties with microstructural characteristics. Monoclinic (M-1) VO2 thin films with (1 0 0), (0 0 1) and ((2) over bar 0 1) out-of-plane orientations were grown on TiO2(1 0 1)/r-sapphire, TiO2(1 0 0)/c-sapphire and TiO2(0 0 1)/m-sapphire platforms, respectively. The in-plane alignments across the interfaces were established to be [0 1 0](1 0 0)(VO2)parallel to[0 1 0](1 0 1)(TiO2), [1 0 0](0 0 1)(VO2)parallel to[0 0 1](1 0 0)(TiO2) and [0 1 0]((2) over bar 0 1)(VO2)parallel to[0 1 0](0 0 1)(TiO2) for r-sapphire, c-sapphire and m-sapphire substrates, respectively. We were able to tune the SMT temperature of VO2 epilayers from similar to 313 K to 354 K (bulk T-c approximate to 340 K). The SMT characteristics were interpreted based upon the residual strain in the VO2 lattice, particularly along the c-axis of tetragonal VO2. This research introduces the VO2-based single crystalline heterostructures as a potential candidate for a wide range of applications where different transition temperatures are required.

AB We present an in situ high-temperature confocal laser microscopy study on the thermal stability of 40 nm thick gold thin films grown on 40 nm Ti, TiOx and ZnO adhesion layers on (0 0 1) Si. In situ observation of the dewetting process was performed over a wide range of set temperatures (400-800 degrees C) and ramp rates (10-50 degrees C min(-1)) for each gold/adhesion layer combination. We found that significant dewetting and subsequent formation of gold islands occurs only at and above 700 degrees C for all adhesion layers. The dewetting is driven to equilibrium for gold/ZnO compared to gold/Ti and gold/TiOx as confirmed by ex situ X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy characterization. Quantification of the in situ data through stretched exponential kinetic models reveals an underlying apparent activation energy of the dewetting process. This energy barrier for dewetting is higher for gold/Ti and gold/TiOx compared to gold/ZnO, thus confirming the ex situ observations. We rationalize that these apparent activation energies correspond to the underlying thermal stability of each gold/adhesion layer system. (C) 2013 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

AB Tetragonally structured barium titanate (BaTiO3) single crystals were irradiated using 635 MeV U-238(+) ions to fluences of 1 x 10(7), 5 x 10(10) and 1.4 x 10(12) ions cm(-2) at room temperature. Irradiated samples were characterized using ion channeling, X-ray diffraction, helium ion microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The results show that the ion-entry spot on the surface has an amorphous core of up to similar to 10 nm in diameter, surrounded by a strained lattice structure. Satellite-like defects around smaller cores are also observed and are attributed to the imperfect epitaxial recrystallization of thermal-spike-induced amorphization. The critical value of the electronic stopping power for creating observable amorphous cores is determined to be similar to 22 keV nm(-1). Molecular dynamics simulations show an amorphous track of similar to 1.2 nm in radius under thermal energy deposition at 5 keV nm(-1); the radius increases to similar to 4.5 nm at 20 keV nm(-1). A linear fit of the core diameter as a function of the square root of the energy deposition rate suggests a reduction in the diameter by an average of similar to 8.4 nm due to thermal recrystallization if electron-phonon coupling efficiency of 100% is assumed. The simulation also reveals details of the bonding environments and shows different densities of the amorphous zones produced at different energy deposition rates. (C) 2013 Acta Materialia Inc.

AB The bacterium Pseudonocardia dioxanivorans CB1190 grows on the cyclic ethers 1,4-dioxane (dioxane) and tetrahydrofuran (THF) as sole carbon and energy sources. Prior transcriptional studies indicated that an annotated THF monooxygenase (THF MO) gene cluster, thmADBC, located on a plasmid in CB1190 is upregulated during growth on dioxane. In this work, transcriptional analysis demonstrates that upregulation of thmADBC occurs during growth on the dioxane metabolite beta-hydroxyethoxyacetic acid (HEAA) and on THF. Comparison of the transcriptomes of CB1190 grown on THF and succinate (an intermediate of THF degradation) permitted the identification of other genes involved in THF metabolism. Dioxane and THF oxidation activity of the THF MO was verified in Rhodococcus jostii RHA1 cells heterologously expressing the CB1190 thmADBC gene cluster. Interestingly, these thmADBC expression clones accumulated HEAA as a dead-end product of dioxane transformation, indicating that despite its genes being transcriptionally upregulated during growth on HEAA, the THF MO enzyme is not responsible for degradation of HEAA in CB1190. Similar activities were also observed in RHA1 cells heterologously expressing the thmADBC gene cluster from Pseudonocardia tetrahydrofuranoxydans K1.

TI Distribution and extirpation of pigs in Pacific Islands: a case study

AB Neolithic arrival in the Pacific involved, as in other parts of the world, the translocation of domesticated plants and animals by pottery-making cultures in prehistory. Globally uncommon, though, was the abandonment of pottery on some islands and the extirpation of the pig (Sus scrofa/verrucosus) and dog (Canis familiaris) - the two largest mammalian quadrupeds introduced to Oceania - from the subsistence and cultural systems. This paper examines the extirpation of pigs from the Palau Islands as a case study to understand why an important domesticate has such an uneven prehistoric distribution. When suids are fed agricultural produce required to sustain the human population, it has been proposed that competition and extirpation will result, especially on small islands with limited arable land. However, pigs are considered problem animals in many environments because of the damage they cause to horticultural production, particularly the effects of free-range pigs on gardens and plantations. It is suggested that extirpation and low-level animal keeping are a response to the threat that pigs pose to plant food yields and social relations.

AB We present the results of NuSTAR and XMM-Newton observations of the two ultraluminous X-ray sources: NGC 1313 X-1 and X-2. The combined spectral bandpass of the two satellites enables us to produce the first spectrum of X-1 between 0.3 and 30 keV, while X-2 is not significantly detected by NuSTAR above 10 keV. The NuSTAR data demonstrate that X-1 has a clear cutoff above 10 keV, whose presence was only marginally detectable with previous X-ray observations. This cutoff rules out the interpretation of X-1 as a black hole in a standard low/hard state, and it is deeper than predicted for the downturn of a broadened iron line in a reflection-dominated regime. The cutoff differs from the prediction of a single-temperature Comptonization model. Further, a cold disk-like blackbody component at similar to 0.3 keV is required by the data, confirming previous measurements by XMM-Newton only. We observe a spectral transition in X- 2, from a state with high luminosity and strong variability to a lower-luminosity state with no detectable variability, and we link this behavior to a transition from a super-Eddington to a sub-Eddington regime.

AB We present the measurement of the two-point cross-correlation function (CCF) of 8198 Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 quasars and 349,608 Data Release 10 CMASS galaxies from the Baryonic Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey at 0.3 < z < 0.9. The CCF can be reasonably well fit by a power-law model.QG(r) = (r/r0)-. on projected scales of rp = 2-25 h(-1) Mpc with r(0) = 6.61 +/- 0.25 h(-1) Mpc and gamma = 1.69 +/- 0.07. We estimate a quasar linear bias of b(Q) = 1.38 +/- 0.10 at < z > = 0.53 from the CCF measurements, which corresponds to a characteristic host halo mass of similar to 4 x 10(12) h(-1) M-circle dot, compared with a similar to 10(13) h(-1) M-circle dot characteristic host halo mass for CMASS galaxies. Based on the clustering measurements, most quasars at (z) over barz similar to 0.5 are not the descendants of their higher luminosity counterparts at higher redshift, which would have evolved into more massive and more biased systems at low redshift. We divide the quasar sample in luminosity and constrain the luminosity dependence of quasar bias to be dbQ/d logL = 0.20 +/- 0.34 or 0.11 +/- 0.32 (depending on different luminosity divisions) for quasar luminosities -23.5 > Mi (z = 2) > -25.5, implying a weak luminosity dependence of clustering for luminous quasars at (z) over barz similar to 0.5. We compare our measurements with theoretical predictions, halo occupation distribution (HOD) models, and mock catalogs. These comparisons suggest that quasars reside in a broad range of host halos. The host halo mass distributions significantly overlap with each other for quasars at different luminosities, implying a poor correlation between halo mass and instantaneous quasar luminosity. We also find that the quasar HOD parameterization is largely degenerate such that different HODs can reproduce the CCF equally well, but with different satellite fractions and host halo mass distributions. These results highlight the limitations and ambiguities in modeling the distribution of quasars with the standard HOD approach.

AB We use measurements of the stellar mass function, galaxy clustering, and galaxy-galaxy lensing within the COSMOS survey to constrain the stellar-to-halo mass relation (SHMR) of star forming and quiescent galaxies over the redshift range z = [0.2,1.0]. For massive galaxies, M* >= 10(10.6) M-circle dot, our results indicate that star-forming galaxies grow proportionately as fast as their dark matter halos while quiescent galaxies are outpaced by dark matter growth. At lower masses, there is minimal difference in the SHMRs, implying that the majority low-mass quiescent galaxies have only recently been quenched of their star formation. Our analysis also affords a breakdown of all COSMOS galaxies into the relative numbers of central and satellite galaxies for both populations. At z = 1, satellite galaxies dominate the red sequence below the knee in the stellar mass function. But the number of quiescent satellites exhibits minimal redshift evolution; all evolution in the red sequence is due to low-mass central galaxies being quenched of their star formation. At M* similar to 10(10) M-circle dot , the fraction of central galaxies on the red sequence increases by a factor of 10 over our redshift baseline, while the fraction of quenched satellite galaxies at that mass is constant with redshift. We define a "migration rate" to the red sequence as the time derivative of the passive galaxy abundances. We find that the migration rate of central galaxies to the red sequence increases by nearly an order of magnitude from z = 1 to z = 0. These results imply that the efficiency of quenching star formation for centrals is increasing with cosmic time, while the mechanisms that quench the star formation of satellite galaxies in groups and clusters is losing efficiency.

TI THE SYNERGY BETWEEN THE DARK ENERGY SURVEY AND THE SOUTH POLE TELESCOPE

AB The Dark Energy Survey (DES) has recently completed its science verification (SV) phase, collecting data over 150 deg(2) of sky. In this work we analyze to what extent it is beneficial to supplement the analysis of DES data with cosmic microwave background (CMB) lensing data. We provide forecasts for both DES-SV and for the full survey covering 5000 deg(2). We show that data presently available from DES-SV and SPT-SZ would allow a similar to 8% measurement of the linear galaxy bias in three out of four redshift bins. We further show that a joint analysis of cosmic shear, galaxy density, and CMB lensing data allows to break the degeneracy between the shear multiplicative bias, the linear galaxy bias, and the normalization of the matter power spectrum. We show that these observables can thus be self-calibrated to the percent or sub-percent level, depending on the quality of available data and the fraction of overlap of the footprints and priors included in the analysis.

AB We present a catalog of gamma-ray sources at energies above 10 GeV based on data from the Large Area Telescope (LAT) accumulated during the first 3 yr of the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope mission. The first Fermi catalog of > 10 GeV sources (1FHL) has 514 sources. For each source we present location, spectrum, a measure of variability, and associations with cataloged sources at other wavelengths. We found that 449 (87%) could be associated with known sources, of which 393 (76% of the 1FHL sources) are active galactic nuclei. Of the 27 sources associated with known pulsars, we find 20 (12) to have significant pulsations in the range > 10 GeV (> 25 GeV). In this work we also report that, at energies above 10 GeV, unresolved sources account for 27% +/- 8% of the isotropic. gamma-ray background, while the unresolved Galactic population contributes only at the few percent level to the Galactic diffuse background. We also highlight the subset of the 1FHL sources that are best candidates for detection at energies above 50-100 GeV with current and future ground-based gamma-ray observatories.

AB The Spitzer South Pole Telescope Deep Field (SSDF) is a wide-area survey using Spitzer's Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) to cover 94 deg(2) of extragalactic sky, making it the largest IRAC survey completed to date outside the Milky Way midplane. The SSDF is centered at (alpha, delta) = (23:30, -55:00), in a region that combines observations spanning a broad wavelength range from numerous facilities. These include millimeter imaging from the South Pole Telescope, far-infrared observations from Herschel/SPIRE, X-ray observations from the XMM XXL survey, near-infrared observations from the VISTA Hemisphere Survey, and radio-wavelength imaging from the Australia Telescope Compact Array, in a panchromatic project designed to address major outstanding questions surrounding galaxy clusters and the baryon budget. Here we describe the Spitzer/IRAC observations of the SSDF, including the survey design, observations, processing, source extraction, and publicly available data products. In particular, we present two band-merged catalogs, one for each of the two warm IRAC selection bands. They contain roughly 5.5 and 3.7 million distinct sources, the vast majority of which are galaxies, down to the SSDF 5 sigma sensitivity limits of 19.0 and 18.2 Vega mag (7.0 and 9.4 mu Jy) at 3.6 and 4.5 mu m, respectively.

AB This study investigated formaldehyde and acetaldehyde passive sampling rates and ozone interference for the DNPH-based Waters Sep-Pak XPoSure sampler. Previous studies have shown that ozone interferes with active sampling by this cartridge. Our study included one laboratory and six field experiments conducted in Northern California homes. Passive sampling rates of 1.10 +/- 0.09 and 0.86 +/- 0.10 mL min(-1) determined for formaldehyde and acetaldehyde are lower than previously reported. In a controlled laboratory experiment there were small, statistically insignificant impacts of subsequent ozone exposure on formaldehyde and acetaldehyde mass passively collected on the samplers. This sampler is inexpensive, easy to deploy and to transport by mail, and has a high sampling capacity when used passively; it is suitable for a wide-range of monitoring applications. However, the passive sampling rate remains in question given the internally consistent, but different results obtained in our study and the previous study. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB Stimuli-responsive hydrogels with high strength and toughness have received significant interest in recent years. Here, we report thermally active composite hydrogels comprising alginate and one of two poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO-PPO-PEO) triblock copolymers. Temperature-sensitive structural and mechanical changes are probed using calorimetry, neutron scattering, shear rheology, unconfined compression, and fracture. Below the lower gelation temperature, LGT, the mechanical properties are dominated by alginate. As the LGT is reached, the contribution of PEO-PPO-PEO to the mechanical properties is activated, resulting in order-of-magnitude increases in elastic modulus. Under compression, we show the evolution of plasticity for the composite hydrogels as the LGT is approached and surpassed, resulting in dramatic increases in fracture stress compared to neat alginate hydrogels. Plasticity was observed above the LGT and may be attributed to restructuring from the sliding of packed micelles and strain-hardening due to stress concentration on alginate cross-links and junction zones, ultimately leading to fracture.

AB Recent studies have demonstrated that therapies targeting the innate immune system have the potential to provide transient, non-specific protection from a variety of infectious organisms; however, the potential of enhancing the efficacy of such treatments using nano-scale delivery platforms requires more in depth evaluation. As such, we employed a nanolipoprotein (NLP) platform to enhance the efficacy of innate immune agonists. Here, we demonstrate that the synthetic Toll-like receptor (TLR) agonists monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA) and CpG oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG) can be readily incorporated into NLPs. Conjugation of MPLA and CpG to NLPs (MPLA:NLP and CpG:NLP, respectively) significantly enhanced their immunostimulatory profiles both in vitro and in vivo compared to administration of agonists alone, as evidenced by significant increases in cytokine production, cell surface expression of activation markers, and upregulation of immunoregulatory genes. Importantly, enhancement of cytokine production by agonist conjugation to NLPs was also observed in primary human dendritic cells. Furthermore, BALB/c mice pretreated with CpG:NLP constructs survived a lethal influenza challenge whereas pretreatment with CpG alone had no effect on survival. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

SO BUILDING AND ENVIRONMENT

AB One way to reduce the energy impact of providing residential ventilation is to use passive and hybrid systems. However, these passive and hybrid (sometimes called mixed-mode) systems must still meet chronic and acute health standards for ventilation. This study uses a computer simulation approach to examine the energy and indoor air quality (IAQ) implications of passive and hybrid ventilation systems, in 16 California climate zones. Both uncontrolled and flow controlled passive stacks are assessed. A new hybrid ventilation system is outlined that uses an intelligent ventilation controller to minimise energy use, while ensuring chronic and acute-IAQ-standards are-met, ASHRAE Standard 62.2-2010 - the United States standard for residential ventilation - is used as the chronic standard, and exposure limits for PM2.5, formaldehyde and NO2 are used as the acute standards.
The results show that controlled passive ventilation and hybrid ventilation can be used in homes to provide equivalent IAQ to continuous mechanical ventilation, for less use of energy. On average, the controlled passive system saved 6% of ventilation-related energy compared to the mechanical system, while the hybrid system saved 24%. We also show that passive systems benefit greatly from maximum flow controllers that limit over-ventilation, and we provide guidance on the appropriate sizing of passive stacks.

AB Effects of low temperature on hydrogen-assisted cracking in 304L/308L austenitic stainless steel welds were investigated using elastic-plastic fracture mechanics methods. Thermally precharged hydrogen (140 wppm) decreased fracture toughness and altered fracture mechanisms at 293 and 223 K relative to hydrogen-free welds. At 293 K, hydrogen increased planar deformation in austenite, and microcracking of delta-ferrite governed crack paths. At 223 K, low temperature enabled hydrogen to exacerbate localized deformation, and microvoid formation, at austenite deformation band intersections near phase boundaries, dominated damage initiation; microcracking of ferrite did not contribute to crack growth.

AB The effect of surface modifications induced by machine hammer peening on pitting corrosion behavior of nickel-base alloy 718 in a 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution is investigated. Severe work hardening and high compressive residual stress are generated with surface smoothing and microstructure evolution in terms of formation of nano-grains and nano-twins in the near surface region after machine hammer peening. Electrochemical tests results show that machine hammer peening has a beneficial influence on the corrosion resistance, indicated by a significant increase of the critical pitting potential (+134 mV) accompanied with lower corrosion current density and higher polarization resistance.

AB p-Carboxylatocalix[4]arenes have recently emerged as useful building blocks in the assembly of both discrete and polymeric coordination compounds. Steric effects of coligands used are now shown to dramatically influence the assembly process, dictating the assembly of one-dimensional (1D)-three-dimensional (3D) systems. Solvothermal techniques have also been found to promote formation of 3D systems with a sterically undemanding coligand.

TI Power systems balancing with high penetration renewables: The potential
of demand response in Hawaii
SO ENERGY CONVERSION AND MANAGEMENT
LA English
DT Article
DE Demand response; Renewables balancing; Forecast uncertainty
AB The State of Hawaii's Clean Energy policies call for 40% of the state's electricity to be supplied by renewable sources by 2030. A recent study focusing on the island of Oahu showed that meeting large amounts of the island's electricity needs with wind and solar introduced significant operational challenges, especially when renewable generation varies from forecasts. This paper focuses on the potential of demand response in balancing supply and demand on an hourly basis. Using the WILMAR model, various levels and prices of demand response were simulated. Results indicate that demand response has the potential to smooth overall power system operation, with production cost savings arising from both improved thermal power plant operations and increased wind production. Demand response program design and cost structure is then discussed drawing from industry experience in direct load control programs. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB An exploration of the implosion properties and X-ray radiation pulses from tungsten-based planar wire array Z-pinch experiments is presented, with an emphasis on loads mixed with aluminum. These experiments were carried out on Zebra, the 1.0 MA pulse power generator at the Nevada Terawatt Facility. A suite of diagnostics was used to study these plasmas, including X-ray and EUV Si diodes, optical imaging, laser shadowgraphy, and time-gated and time-integrated X-ray pinhole imagers and spectrometers. Specifically, loads with relatively large inter-wire gaps where tungsten is placed in the center of a planar configuration composed primarily of aluminum showed unusual characteristics. These loads are shown to generate a "bubbling" effect in which plasma from the ablation of outer aluminum wires is temporarily hindered from converging at the center of the array where the tungsten wire is located. Reproduction of these experiments with variations to load geometry, materials, and mass distribution are also presented and discussed in an attempt to better understand the phenomenon. In addition, a theoretical model has also been applied to better understand the dynamics of the implosions of these loads. Applications of this effect to radiation pulse shaping, particularly with multi-planar arrays, are also discussed. (C) 2013 Published by Elsevier B.V.

DE Dense plasma spectroscopy
ID PLASMAS; MODEL; CODE
AB The newly commissioned Orion laser system has been used to study dense plasmas created by a combination of short pulse laser heating and compression by laser driven shocks. Thus the plasma density was systematically varied between 1 and 10 g/cc by using aluminium samples buried in plastic foils or diamond sheets. The aluminium was heated to electron temperatures between 500 eV and 700 eV allowing the plasma conditions to be diagnosed by K-shell emission spectroscopy. The K-shell spectra show the effect of the ionization potential depression as a function of density via the delocalization of n = 3 levels and disappearance of n = 3 transitions in He-like and H-like aluminium. The data are compared to simulated spectra, which account for the change in the ionization potential by the commonly used Stewart and Pyatt prescription; a simple ion sphere model and an alternative due to Ecker and Kroll suggested by recent X-ray free-electron laser experiments. The experimental data are in reasonable agreement with the model of Stewart and Pyatt, but are in better agreement with a simple ion sphere model. The data indicate that the Ecker and Kroll model overestimates substantially the ionization potential depression in this regime. (C) Crown Copyright 2013 Published by Elsevier B.V.

AB Typical numerical simulations of dense plasmas are limited by either an inability to treat the dynamical quantum evolution of the electrons or a difficulty with strongly-coupled ions. Yet these different physics problems are individually well-treated by particular approximations. Kinetic theory molecular dynamics (KTMD) is a hybrid approach that treats electrons via kinetic theory (KT) and ions with molecular dynamics (MD). We present a derivation suitable for classical plasmas and specialize to the Vlasov or mean-field case. In addition, we consider the limit of adiabatic electron dynamics, where the problem reduces to the Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) equations coupled to MD. An exploration of practical ways to implement KTMD within an existing MD framework. The initial goal is to develop computationally efficient solutions of the PB problem, suitable for large-scale PB or Thomas-Fermi MD simulations. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

DE Plane-wave Born approximation; Coulomb wave approximation; Electron
collisional excitation cross section; NLTE plasma modeling
AB The modeling of NLTE plasmas requires the solution of population rate equations to determine the populations of the various atomic levels relevant to a particular problem. The equations require many cross sections for excitation, de-excitation, ionization and recombination. A simple and computational fast way to calculate electron collisional excitation cross-sections for ions is by using the plane-wave Born approximation. This is essentially a high-energy approximation and the cross section suffers from the unphysical problem of going to zero near threshold. Various remedies for this problem have been employed with varying degrees of success. We present a correction procedure for the Born cross-sections that employs the Elwert-Sommerfeld factor to correct for the use of plane waves instead of Coulomb waves in an attempt to produce a cross-section similar to that from using the more time consuming Coulomb Born approximation. We compare this new approximation with other, often employed correction procedures. We also look at some further modifications to our Born Elwert procedure and its combination with Y.K. Kim's correction of the Coulomb Born approximation for singly charged ions that more accurately approximate convergent close coupling calculations. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Inertial confinement can maintain such hot-dense plasmas for times of order 10 ps. This provides a platform for measurement of basic properties of hot dense matter, such as opacity and equation-of-state. In this paper we describe the role of computational modeling, in the design and analysis of such opacity experiments.

AB The effect of the interference term in the electron broadening of the Li-like satellites to the Ar He beta line has been investigated in the standard Stark broadening theory. Although the interference term has negligible or small effect on satellite lines with spectator electrons in n = 2 and n = 3 shells, it shows significant narrowing for lines with n = 4 spectator electrons. Nevertheless, the improved n = 4 satellite line shape makes a small difference in the emergent intensity distribution of the composite spectral feature. Accordingly, this change in line shape does not affect previous diagnosis of plasma conditions in Ar-doped ICF implosion cores. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB A novel concept for using hybrid targets to create multi-key X-ray sources was tested on the GEKKO XII facility of the OSAKA University and on the OMEGA facility of the University of Rochester. The sources were made via laser irradiation of a titanium foil placed at the end of a plastic cylinder, filled with a very low-density (2 and 5 mg/cm(3)) silicon-dioxide aerogel that was designed to control the longitudinal expansion of the titanium plasma. Preliminary calculations were used to determine optimal conditions for the aerogel density, cylinder diameter and length that maximize multi-keV X-ray emission. The X-ray emission power was measured on OMEGA using absolutely calibrated broad-band, diode-based CEA diagnostics, in addition to high resolution crystal spectrometers. On GEKKO XII, the heat wave propagation velocity in the aerogel was also measured with an X-ray framing camera. The advantage of using the thermal wave generated in the aerogel to heat a solid material to increase the conversion efficiency has not been fully demonstrated in these experiments. However, it was shown that a 5 mg/cm(3) aerogel placed in front of a titanium foil can improve the x-ray conversion efficiency with respect to the case of 2 mg/cm(3) for some target diameter and length.

ID EDIT DISTANCE; RECOGNITION
AB License plate recognition (LPR) technology is a mature yet imperfect technology used for automated toll collection and speed enforcement. The portion of license plates that can be correctly recognized and matched at two separate stations is typically in the range of 35% or less. Existing methods for improving the matching of plates recognized by LPR units rely on intensive manual data reduction, such that the misread plates are manually entered into the system. Recently, an advanced matching technique that combines Bayesian probability and Levenshtein text-mining techniques was proposed to increase the accuracy of automated license plate matching. The key component of this method is what we called the association matrix, which contains the conditional probabilities of observing one character at one station for a given observed character at another station. However, the estimation of the association matrix relies on the manually extracted ground truth of a large number of plates, which is a cumbersome and tedious process. To overcome this drawback, in this study, we propose an ingenious novel self-learning algorithm that eliminates the need for extracting ground truth manually. These automatically learned association matrices are found to perform well in the correctness in plate matching, in comparison with those generated from the painstaking manual method. Furthermore, these automatically learned association matrices outperform their manual counterparts in reducing false matching rates. The automatic self-learning method is also cheaper and easier to implement and continues to improve and correct itself over time.

ID VARIABLE GENERATION
AB Many demand response resources are technically capable of providing ancillary services. In some cases, they can provide superior response to generators, as the curtailment of load is typically much faster than ramping thermal and hydropower plants. Analysis and quantification of demand response resources providing ancillary services is necessary to understand the resources' economic value and impact on the power system. Methodologies used to study grid integration of variable generation can be adapted to the study of demand response. In the present work, we describe and implement a methodology to construct detailed temporal and spatial representations of demand response resources and to incorporate those resources into power system models. In addition, the paper outlines ways to evaluate barriers to implementation. We demonstrate how the combination of these three analyses can be used to assess economic value of the realizable potential of demand response for ancillary services.

AB This paper presents a novel dynamic parameter selection process to optimize the performance of a centralized load controller designed to provide intra-hour load balancing services using thermostatically controlled appliances (TCAs). An optimal set of control parameters for the controller are selected by exhaustive simulations of control variables such as the sampling time of the forecaster, the magnitude of the load balancing signal, and the temperature deadband. The effects of TCA lock-off times, ambient temperatures, heat gains, and two-way communication delays on the controller design are also modeled. Customer comfort, device life cycles, and control errors are used as metrics to evaluate the performance. The results demonstrate that the optimized controller offers satisfactory performance considering all the operational uncertainties.

DE Power system security; SCADA system; voltage control
AB Recent years have seen increased interest in the design and deployment of smart grid devices and control algorithms. Each of these smart communicating devices represents a potential access point for an intruder spurring research into intruder prevention and detection. However, no security measures are complete, and intruding attackers will compromise smart grid devices leading to the attacker and the system operator interacting via the grid and its control systems. The outcome of these machine-mediated human-human interactions will depend on the design of the physical and control systems mediating the interactions. If these outcomes can be predicted via simulation, they can be used as a tool for designing attack-resilient grids and control systems. However, accurate predictions require good models of not just the physical and control systems, but also of the human decision making. In this manuscript, we present an approach to develop such tools, i.e., models of the decisions of the cyber-physical intruder who is attacking the systems and the system operator who is defending it, and demonstrate its usefulness for design.

ID ELECTRICITY; MARKET
AB We present a stochastic programming model for investments in thermal generation capacity to study the impact of demand response (DR) at high wind penetration levels. The investment model combines continuous operational constraints and wind scenarios to represent the implications of wind variability and uncertainty at the operational level. DR is represented in terms of linear price-responsive demand functions. A numerical case study based on load and wind profiles of Illinois is constructed with 20 candidate generating units of various types. Numerical results show the impact of DR on both investment and operational decisions. We also propose a model in which DR provides operating reserves and discuss its impact on lowering the total capacity needed in the system. We observe that a relatively small amount of DR capacity is sufficient to enhance the system reliability. When compared to the case with no DR, a modest level of DR results in less wind curtailment and better satisfaction of reserve requirements, as well as improvements in both the social surplus and generator utilization, as measured by capacity factors.

AB Cavitation plays an important role in the formation of sprays in fuel injection systems. With the increasing use of gasoline-ethanol blends, there is a need to understand how changes in fluid properties due to the use of these fuels can alter cavitation behavior. Gasoline-ethanol blends are azeotropic mixtures whose properties are difficult to model. We have tabulated the thermodynamic properties of gasoline-ethanol blends using a method developed for flash-boiling simulations. The properties of neat gasoline and ethanol were obtained from National Institute of Standards and Technology REFPROP data, and blends from 0% to 85% ethanol by mass have been tabulated. We have undertaken high-resolution three-dimensional numerical simulations of cavitating flow in a 500-mu m-diameter submerged nozzle using the in-house HRMFoam homogeneous relaxation model constructed from the OpenFOAM toolkit. The simulations are conducted at 1 MPa inlet pressure and atmospheric outlet pressure, corresponding to a cavitation number range of 1.066-1.084 and a Reynolds number range of 15,000-40,000. For the pure gasoline case, the numerical simulations are compared with synchrotron X-ray radiography measurements. Despite significant variation in the fluid properties, the distribution of cavitation vapor in the nozzle is relatively unaffected by the gasoline-ethanol ratio. The vapor remains attached to the nozzle wall, resulting in an unstable annular two-phase jet in the outlet. Including turbulence at the conditions studied does not significantly change mixing behavior, because the thermal nonequilibrium at the vapor-liquid interfaces acts to low-pass filter the turbulent fluctuations in both the nozzle boundary layer and jet mixing layer.

AB Graphene is often surrounded by different dielectric materials when integrated into realistic devices. The absence of dangling bonds allows graphene to bond weakly via the van der Waals interaction with the adjacent material surfaces and to retain its peculiar linear band structure. In such weakly bonded systems, however, the electronic properties of graphene are affected by the dielectric screening due to the long-range Coulomb interaction with the surrounding materials. Including the surrounding materials in the first principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations is computationally very demanding due to the large super-cell size required to model heterogeneous interfaces. Here, we employ a multiscale approach combining DFT and the classical image-potential model to investigate the effects of screening from the surrounding materials (hBN, SiC, SiO2, Al2O3, and HfO2) on the dielectric function and charged impurity scattering limited conductivity of graphene. In this approach, the graphene layer is modeled using DFT and the screening from the surrounding materials is incorporated by introducing an effective dielectric function. The dielectric function and conductivity of graphene calculated using the simplified two-band Dirac model are compared with DFT calculations. The two-band Dirac model is found to significantly overestimate the dielectric screening and charged impurity scattering limited conductivity of graphene. The multiscale approach presented here can also be used to study screening effects in weakly bonded heterostructures of other emerging two-dimensional materials such as metal dichalcogenides.

AB Micro-and nano-mechanical switches are being considered as complements to solid state transistors. While several different device designs may satisfy performance requirements, contact reliability due to hydrocarbon contamination remains a critical concern in each. This issue can be addressed by identifying contact materials and environments that optimize immunity to contaminants. Here we demonstrate that RuO2, a conducting oxide, does not exhibit contaminant-induced degradation at up to 130 parts per million (PPM) benzene in a nitrogen/oxygen background, and experiences minimal electrical resistance rise at 1,300 PPM. In comparison, Pt-coated switches degrade significantly at only 0.02 PPM benzene contaminant level in nitrogen background. This paper establishes that a proper selection of materials and environment is a promising path toward achieving reliable micro- and nanoswitches.

AB A technological gap in nanomanufacturing has prevented the translation of many nanomaterial discoveries into real-world commercialized products. Bridging this gap requires a paradigm shift in methods for fabricating nanoscale devices in a reliable and repeatable fashion. Here we present the optimized fabrication of a robust and scalable nanoscale delivery platform, the nanofountain probe (NFP), for parallel direct-write of functional materials. Microfabrication of a new generation of NFP was realized with the aim of increasing the uniformity of the device structure. Optimized probe geometry was integrated into the design and fabrication process by modifying the precursor mask dimensions and by using an isotropic selective dry etching of the outer shell that defines the protrusion area. Probes with well-conserved sharp tips and controlled protrusion lengths were obtained. Sealing effectiveness of the channels was optimized. A conformal tetraethyl orthosilicate based oxide layer increased the sealing efficacy while minimizing the required thickness. A compensation scheme based on the residual stresses in each layer was implemented to minimize bending of the cantilever after releasing the device. The device was tested by patterning ferritin catalyst arrays on silicon dioxide with sub-100 nm resolution. The optimized probes increased the control over the parallel patterning resolution which enables manufacturing of ordered arrays of nanomaterials.

AB This paper reports an updated parameterization for a CdTe bond order potential. The original potential is a rigorously parameterized analytical bond order potential for ternary the Cd-Zn-Te systems. This potential effectively captures property trends of multiple Cd, Zn, Te, CdZn, CdTe, ZnTe, and Cd1-xZnxTe phases including clusters, lattices, defects, and surfaces. It also enables crystalline growth simulations of stoichiometric compounds/alloys from non-stoichiometric vapors. However, the potential over predicts the zinc-blende CdTe lattice constant compared to experimental data. Here, we report a refined analytical Cd-Zn-Te bond order potential parameterization that predicts a better CdTe lattice constant. Characteristics of the second potential are given based on comparisons with both literature potentials and the quantum mechanical calculations.

AB The melting point of liquid lithium near zero pressure is studied with large-scale orbital-free first-principles molecular dynamics (OF-FPMD) in the isobaric-isothermal ensemble. We adopt the Wang-Govind-Carter (WGC) functional as our kinetic energy density functional (KEDF) and construct a bulk-derived local pseudopotential (BLPS) for Li. Our simulations employ both the heat-until-melts' method and the coexistence method. We predict 465 K as an upper bound of the melting point of Li from the heat-until-melts' method, while we predict 434 K as the melting point of Li from the coexistence method. These values compare well with an experimental melting point of 453 K at zero pressure. Furthermore, we calculate a few important properties of liquid Li including the diffusion coefficients, pair distribution functions, static structure factors, and compressibilities of Li at 470 K and 725 K in the canonical ensemble. Our theoretically-obtained results show good agreement with known experimental results, suggesting that OF-FPMD using a non-local KEDF and a BLPS is capable of accurately describing liquid metals.

AB Single-walled carbon nanotubes are uniquely identified by a pair of chirality indices (n, m), which dictate the physical structures and electronic properties of each species(1). Carbon nanotube research is currently facing two outstanding challenges: achieving chirality-controlled growth and understanding chirality- dependent device physics(2-6). Addressing these challenges requires, respectively, high-throughput determination of the nanotube chirality distribution on growth substrates and in situ characterization of the nanotube electronic structure in operating devices. Direct optical imaging and spectroscopy techniques are well suited for both goals(7-9), but their implementation at the single nanotube level has remained a challenge due to the small nanotube signal and unavoidable environment background(10-17). Here, we report high-throughput real-time optical imaging and broadband in situ spectroscopy of individual carbon nanotubes on various substrates and in field-effect transistor devices using polarization-based microscopy combined with supercontinuum laser illumination. Our technique enables the complete chirality profiling of hundreds of individual carbon nanotubes, both semiconducting and metallic, on a growth substrate. In devices, we observe that highorder nanotube optical resonances are dramatically broadened by electrostatic doping, an unexpected behaviour that points to strong interband electron-electron scattering processes that could dominate ultrafast dynamics of excited states in carbon nanotubes.

AB High-performance and long-pulse operation is a crucial goal of current magnetic fusion research. Here, we demonstrate a high-confinement plasma regime known as an H-mode with a record pulse length of over 30 s in the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak sustained by lower hybrid wave current drive (LHCD) with advanced lithium wall conditioning. We find that LHCD provides a flexible boundary control for a ubiquitous edge instability in H-mode plasmas known as an edge-localized mode, which leads to a marked reduction in the heat load on the vessel wall compared with standard edge-localized modes. LHCD also induces edge plasma ergodization that broadens the heat deposition footprint. The heat transport caused by this ergodization can be actively controlled by regulating the edge plasma conditions. This potentially offers a new means for heat-flux control, which is a key issue for next-step fusion development.

AB Alternative splicing (AS) enables programmed diversity of gene expression across tissues and development. We show here that binding in distal intronic regions (>500 nucleotides (nt) from any exon) by Rbfox splicing factors important in development is extensive and is an active mode of splicing regulation. Similarly to exon-proximal sites, distal sites contain evolutionarily conserved GCATG sequences and are associated with AS activation and repression upon modulation of Rbfox abundance in human and mouse experimental systems. As a proof of principle, we validated the activity of two specific Rbfox enhancers in KIF21A and ENAH distal introns and showed that a conserved long-range RNA-RNA base-pairing interaction (an RNA bridge) is necessary for Rbfox-mediated exon inclusion in the ENAH gene. Thus we demonstrate a previously unknown RNA-mediated mechanism for AS control by distally bound RNA-binding proteins.

AB In order to fully characterize the structure of dislocation loops in CeO2, ion irradiations have been performed at 800 degrees C on CeO2 single-crystal thin films individually using 1MeV Kr ions and 150keV Xe ions, both to a dose of 5x10(14) ions/cm(2). Post-irradiation TEM examination, diffraction contrast imaging and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), has confirmed that the irradiation-induced dislocation loops in CeO2 were Frank loops, having an interstitial nature with {111} habit planes and a 1/3 < 111 > Burgers vector. Dislocation loops were confirmed to be a stacking fault in nature through TEM observations of the interference fringes inside the loop periphery.

AB Model asymmetric miktoarm star copolymers of the type AA'B, where A and A' are polyisoprenes (PIs) and B is deuterated polystyrene (PS), were synthesized by anionic polymerization high-vacuum techniques. Their micellization behavior was studied in n-decane, a selective solvent for the PI blocks, and N, N-dimethylacetamide (DMA), selective for the PS blocks. Utilizing static and dynamic light-scattering techniques along with dilute solution viscometry, parameters such as the aggregation number, N-w, the hydrodynamic and viscometric radii were determined. Based on these results, structural parameters of the micelles, that is, core and corona radii, as well as core-corona interfacial area, were calculated. The thermal stability of the micelles was also examined in both selective solvents. The macromolecular architecture was found to have a considerable effect on the micellization behavior of the block copolymers.

AB In this review, we present our recent work on making structured metals transparent for broadband electromagnetic waves by surface plasmons (SPs) or spoof surface plasmons (SSPs). First, we demonstrate that the interference between the localized and propagating SPs plays an important role in the optical transmission through arrays of sub-wavelength holes. The observed phenomena belong to the category of plasmonic Fano effects. Second, we show that the transmission enhancement originates not only from the coupling between the incident light and the excited SPs but also from the coupling among these SPs in multiple nano-aperture stacks. Finally, we demonstrate that metallic plates with narrow slit arrays can become transparent within extremely broad spectral bandwidths, and high transmission efficiency is insensitive to the thickness of the metal. This phenomenon explicitly demonstrates the conversion between light and SPs. These investigations provide guidelines to develop many novel materials and devices, such as transparent conducting panels, antireflective solar cells, and other broadband metamaterials.

AB La0.8Ba1.2GaO3.9 center dot nH(2)O presents an interesting system with tetrahedral network of GaO4, and high oxide ion and proton conductivities. High-resolution quasielastic incoherent neutron scattering experiments were performed to gain better understanding of the proton conduction mechanism in tetrahedral systems. Translational long-range proton diffusion was observed. The activation energy for this process is 0.5 eV. Mean-square-displacement of 0.7 A(2) for protons was obtained for the temperature range where the long-range proton diffusion occurs. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB Proton-exchange membranes are key solid-state ion carriers in many relevant energy technologies including flow batteries, fuel cells, and solar-fuel generators. In many of these systems, the membranes are in contact with electrolyte solutions. In this paper, we focus on the impact of different HBr, a flow-battery and exemplary acid electrolyte, external concentrations on the conductivity of Nafion, a perfluorosulfonic acid membrane that is commonly used in many energy-related applications. The peak and then decrease in conductivity is correlated with measured changes in the water and HBr content within the membrane. In addition, small-angle x-ray scattering is used to probe the nanostructure to correlate how the interactions of the bromide ion with the fixed sulfonic-acid sites impact conductivity and hydrophilic domain distance. It is also shown that membrane pretreatment has a large impact on the underlying structure/function relationship. The obtained data and results are useful for delineation of optimal operating regimes for flow batteries and similar technologies as well as in understanding underlying structure/function relationships of ionomers in electrolyte solutions.

AB Evaporation and ablation are fundamental processes which drive laser-material processing performance. In applications where surface shape is important, control of the temperature field and the resulting spatially varying material response must be considered. For that purpose, assist gases are useful in, first, lowering treatment temperatures and, second, in changing interfacial and bulk chemistry to limit capillary-driven flow. Additionally, laser-matter coupling is influenced by pulse length as it determines the heat affected zone. Using infrared imaging of CO2 laser-heated fused silica and surface profile measurements, we derive temperature and time dependent pitting rates along with shapes for a range of gases that include hydrogen, nitrogen, air, and helium. In the range of 1,500-4,500 K, evaporation, flow, and densification are shown to contribute to the pit shape. Analysis reveals a strong and complex dependence of rim formation on heating time and gas chemistry, mostly by lowering treatment temperature. Under dynamic heating, chemicapillarity appears to help in lowering rim height, in spite of the reactants mass transport limitations. Results on this gas-assisted approach suggest the possibility for sub-nanometer "rimless" laser-based machining.

AB Reliable use of regional seismic phases for discrimination and magnitude estimation requires accurate corrections. Procedures that simultaneously invert for source, attenuation (Q), spreading, and site parameters have trade-offs that result in large errors for source and distance corrections. This motivates our efforts to improve corrections by constraining trade-offs. Using an empirical Green's function approach, relative spectra of regional phases are computed for nearby, similar earthquake pairs of different moments, to cancel path, site, and focal mechanism effects, giving reliable estimates of source corner frequencies and relative moments. Many such pairs are available for this analysis throughout Eurasia. A large dataset of three-component regional seismograms from Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) is assembled and processed for events listed in the preliminary determination of epi-centers from 1989 to 2009. A relative Brune (1970) source model is fit to network-median relative spectra for over 46,000 pairs, corresponding to about 9400 unique events. Pseudorelative spectra are also computed from coda envelopes in 16 frequency bands. Coda is less sensitive to focal mechanism, event separation, and station coverage (Mayeda et al., 2007) but more prone to data quality issues. Results are presented with good corroboration of the moments and corner frequencies from coda and direct phases. Detailed case studies are shown to indicate the level of agreement, interstation variability, comparisons to published results based on local networks, and causes of various discrepancies between coda and direct phases. The spectra subsequently are corrected for source terms to estimate more reliable Q, geometric spreading rates, and site effects. Examples are compared to amplitude tomography results. Our estimated spreading rates are consistent with published studies, except for long distance Pn and mantle P. As important, the spreading analysis also provides a very consistent set of absolute scalar moments. Further details and comparisons to independent Q and frequency-dependent site terms are presented in a companion paper (Fisk and Phillips, 2013).

AB Fisk and Phillips (2013) motivated the need to constrain trade-offs among correction parameters for regional phase amplitudes to improve seismic discrimination and magnitude (yield) estimation. Using an empirical Green's function approach to cancel path and site effects, relative spectra of direct regional phases and Lg coda were fit for many thousands of nearby, similar earthquake pairs of different moments, to estimate reliable source corner frequencies and relative moments. Detailed comparisons demonstrated the benefit of using independent measurements of coda and direct phases to provide a large set of corroborated source terms for earthquakes throughout Eurasia. The spectra were subsequently corrected for source terms to estimate more reliable Q, geometric spreading rates, and site effects. Regression analysis was used to estimate geometric spreading rates and to establish a very consistent set of absolute moments. Here, frequency-dependent Q and site terms are examined for Lg, Sn, Pg, and Pn spectra. Comparisons to independent Q estimates from amplitude tomography exhibit good agreement for many paths. Large discrepancies are shown for higher frequencies, in low Q regions, and/or at the edges of the tomography grid, which significantly impact P/S discrimination. Our frequency-dependent site terms are compared with independent estimates from Lg coda tomography, showing good agreement (even for Pg and Pn, at many stations) but also some substantial differences.

AB Recent moderate-sized, but strongly felt, earthquakes in eastern and central North America have highlighted the important role of the Earth's attenuation structure in estimating and predicting local and regional ground motions. Over the past several years, we have been developing methods to use the amplitudes of regional phases Pn, Pg, Sn, and Lg to invert for the crust and upper mantle attenuation structure in Eurasia, and have recently started transporting the methodology to North America. We now have path coverage for most of North America, including Canada, the United States, Mexico, and portions of the Caribbean, with the best coverage in the United States. After describing the development of the model, we discuss the results in the context of the tectonics of the region, most notably the large differences between western North America and areas east of the Rockies. We will then demonstrate the use of the model in a number of applications including estimating reliable moment magnitudes for the Wells, Nevada, earthquake sequence, the use of the models in strong ground motion prediction for the Mineral, Virginia, mainshock, and in both discriminating and estimating explosion characteristics (depth, yield) of events at the Nevada Test Site.

AB Love waves have the potential to aid in discrimination for anomalous explosion events. We develop a calibrated mathematical formulation for an explosion discriminant that combines Rayleigh-and Love-wave magnitude values and employs an error model that correctly partitions variances among events and stations separately. The discriminant is calibrated using a global data set of 124 earthquakes and 26 nuclear explosions and applied to the May 2009 Democratic Republic of North Korea (DPRK) announced nuclear test, as well as the calibration data set. All 26 explosions were correctly identified; only 6 earthquakes were incorrectly identified as explosions. Compared to an analogous treatment using only Rayleigh data, the combined discriminant improves the DPRK event p-value only nominally but reduces the number of false positives in the calibration data set by 70%, with no additional false negatives. While not dramatically improving the discrimination power for anomalous events, such as the 2009 DPRK test, the combined discriminant proposed here offers improved screening capabilities for typical events.

AB In order to gain insight into droplet behavior at the edge of clouds, a laboratory experiment has been carried out to study the conditioned statistics of inertial sub-Kolmogorov particles in shearless turbulent-non-turbulent and turbulent-turbulent mixing layers. The water droplets were injected from the homogeneous turbulence side of the flow, and their velocity and size distribution profiles were measured by a combined LDV/PDPA technique. The fluid velocity field was measured using hot-wire anemometry in the droplet-free flow. A conditioning method with the stream-wise velocity chosen as a turbulence detector function was used to identify the turbulent regions in the mixing layer. The particle concentration profiles, mass fluxes and small-scale clustering were compared for the conditioned and unconditioned cases. Previously we demonstrated (Gerashchenko et al. in J Fluid Mech 668: 293-303, 2011; Good et al. in J Fluid Mech 694: 371-398, 2012) that in this flow, the overall inertial particle transport is dominated by large-scale intermittent motion corresponding to turbulent bursts penetrating from one side of the mixing interface to the other, and that the particle concentration, to a large extent, preserves its homogeneous turbulence (injection side) values inside of turbulent bursts in the mixing layer. In the present work, we show that the conditioned concentration is higher for the turbulent-non-turbulent than for the turbulent-turbulent interface due to higher averaged burst widths for the latter case. This trend is opposite to that for the unconditioned concentration profiles. The unconditioned particle mass flux peaks approximately in the middle of the layer and is more pronounced for the turbulent-turbulent interface. The conditioned particle mass flux monotonically increases across the layer and is higher for the turbulent-turbulent interface. The small-scale turbulent clustering (less than 10 Kolmogorov scales) quantified by the particle radial distribution function is well preserved inside of bursts. Largescale clustering (10-500 Kolmogorov scales) caused by the burst activity is observed for the unconditioned cases. Particles with large Stokes number are less sensitive to large-scale clustering than those with small Stokes number.

Careful corrections are performed to account for and eliminate sources of noise and error that become significant in very-low-turbulence-intensity flows such as highly decayed grid turbulence. The signal-to-noise ratio varies between 20 and 70, but despite noise and some spatial filtering, it is possible to accurately measure the turbulent viscous dissipation within +/- 10%. The results confirm that the proportionality relation L-u/lambda alpha Re-lambda (where L-u is the integral length scale, lambda is the Taylor microscale and Re-lambda is the Reynolds number based on the Taylor microscale), stemming from the scaling of the turbulent dissipation epsilon = C(epsilon)k(3/2)/L-u (where k is the turbulent kinetic energy), does not apply to the turbulence generated by square fractal grids. More importantly, the semi-empirical constant C-epsilon is not at all constant for this flow, varying by more than a factor of 4 over the observed decay range.

AB Dolichyl-P-Man:Man(5)GlcNAc(2)-PP-dolichyl alpha-1,3-mannosyltransferase (also known as "asparagine-linked glycosylation 3", or ALG3) is involved in early N-linked glycan synthesis and thus is essential for formation of N-linked protein glycosylation. In this study, we examined the effects of alg3 gene deletion (alg3 Delta) on growth, development, pigment production, protein secretion and recombinant Trichoderma reesei cellobiohydrolase (rCel7A) expressed in Aspergillus niger. The alg3 Delta delayed spore germination in liquid cultures of complete medium (CM), potato dextrose (PD), minimal medium (MM) and CM with addition of cAMP (CM + cAMP), and resulted in significant reduction of hyphal growth on CM, potato dextrose agar (PDA), and CM + CAMP and spore production on CM. The alg3 Delta also led to a significant accumulation of red pigment on both liquid and solid CM cultures. The relative abundances of 54 of the total 215 proteins identified in the secretome were significantly altered as a result of alg3 Delta, 63% of which were secreted at higher levels in alg3 Delta strain than the parent. The rCel7A expressed in the alg3 Delta mutant was smaller in size than that expressed in both wild-type and parental strains, but still larger than T. reesei Cel7A. The circular dichroism (CD)-melt scans indicated that change in glycosylation of rCel7A does not appear to impact the secondary structure or folding. Enzyme assays of Cel7A and rCel7A on nanocrystalline cellulose and bleached kraft pulp demonstrated that the rCel7As have improved activities on hydrolyzing the nanocrystalline cellulose. Overall, the results suggest that alg3 is critical for growth, sporulation, pigment production, and protein secretion in A. niger, and demonstrate the feasibility of this alternative approach to evaluate the roles of N-linked glycosylation in glycoprotein secretion and function.

AB BACKGROUND & AIMS: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) predominantly infects hepatocytes, but many hepatocytes are not infected; studies have shown that HCV antigens cluster within the liver. We investigated spatial distribution and determinants of HCV replication in human liver samples. METHODS: We analyzed liver samples from 4 patients with chronic HCV infection (genotype 1, Metavir scores 0-1) to estimate the proportion of infected hepatocytes and the amount of HCV viral RNA (vRNA) per cell. Single-cell laser capture microdissection was used to capture more than 1000 hepatocytes in grids, to preserve geometric relationships. HCV vRNA and interferon-induced transmembrane protein 3 (IFITM3) messenger RNA (the transcript of an interferon-stimulated gene) were measured in the same hepatocytes by quantitative polymerase chain reaction and assembled in maps to identify areas of high and low HCV replication. RESULTS: Patients' serum levels of HCV RNA ranged from 6.87 to 7.40 log(10) IU/mL; the proportion of HCV-infected hepatocytes per person ranged from 21% to 45%, and the level of vRNA ranged from 1 to 50 IU/hepatocyte. Infection was not random; we identified clustering of HCV-positive hepatocytes using infected-neighbor analysis (P < .0005) and distance to the kth nearest neighbor compared with random distributions, obtained by bootstrap simulations (P < .02). Hepatocytes that expressed IFITM3 did not appear to cluster and were largely HCV negative. CONCLUSIONS: We used single-cell laser capture and high-resolution analysis to show that in human liver HCV infects hepatocytes in nonrandom clusters, whereas expression of antiviral molecules is scattered among hepatocytes. These findings show that quantitative single-cell RNA measurements can be used to estimate the abundance of HCV vRNA per infected human hepatocyte and are consistent with cell-cell propagation of infection in the absence of clustered IFITM3.

ID TRANSFER MODEL
AB Graphics processing units (GPUs) have proven very robust architectures for performing intensive scientific calculations, resulting in speedups as high as several hundred times. In this paper, the GPU acceleration of a radiation code for use in creating simulated satellite observations of predicted climate change scenarios is explored, particularly the prospect of porting an already existing and widely used radiation transport code to a GPU version that fully exploits the parallel nature of GPUs. The porting process is attempted with a simple radiation code, revealing that this process centers on creating many copies of variables and inlining function/subroutine calls. A resulting speedup of about 25x is reached. This is less than the speedup achieved from a radiation code built for CUDA from scratch, but it was achieved with an already existing radiation code using the PGI Accelerator to automatically generate CUDA kernels, and this demonstrates a possible strategy to speed up other existing models like MODTRAN and LBLRTM.

AB Recent advances in nanotechnology have provided the opportunity to significantly enhance the performance of hydrogen gas nanosensors. Our research focuses on the reliability of one particular nanosensor, a network of ultra small palladium nanowires, which detects hydrogen gas through a change in resistivity. The discrete random variable, representing the lifetime of the nanosensor, is defined as the number of exposures to, or cycles of, hydrogen gas that the nanosensor can withstand before it no longer functions. The nanosensor is modeled, and the reliability is analyzed under the assumption that the nanosensor is performing in an environment where the probability of a nanowire breaking changes after each cycle of hydrogen gas. Nanoscale components present unique difficulties when evaluating the reliability of any device. We attempt to resolve some of these issues by creating a flexible model that allows for the unknown characteristics of the nanosensor to be accounted for. Although this work is motivated by one particular nanosensor, our results can also be applied to assess the reliability of any nanodevice where our proposed model is a reasonable choice.

AB Chemical durability is not a single material property that can be uniquely measured. Instead, it is the response to a host of coupled material and environmental processes whose rates are estimated by a combination of theory, experiment and modeling. High-level nuclear waste (HLW) glass is perhaps the most studied of any material yet there remain significant technical gaps regarding their chemical durability. The phenomena affecting the long-term performance of HLW glasses in their disposal environment include surface reactions, transport properties to and from the reacting glass surface, and ion exchange between the solid glass and the surrounding solution and alteration products. The rates of these processes are strongly influenced and are coupled through the solution chemistry, which is in turn influenced by the reacting glass and also by reaction with the near-field materials and precipitation of alteration products. Therefore, those processes must be understood sufficiently well to estimate or bound the performance of HLW glass in its disposal environment over geologic time scales. This article summarizes the current state of understanding of surface reactions, transport properties and ion exchange along with the near-field materials and alteration products influences on solution chemistry and glass reaction rates. Also summarized are the remaining technical gaps along with recommended approaches to fill those technical gaps.

AB Understanding of dissolution processes of borosilicate glasses can shed light on mechanisms of degradation of nuclear waste forms. We have simulated structure of sodium borosilicate glass using classical molecular dynamics and calculated reaction barriers for hydrolysis reactions on the glass surface using density functional theory. The results indicate that reaction barriers in acidic conditions for dissolution of B-O-B and B-O-Si bridges are greatly reduced compared with neutral and basic conditions. We suggest barriers for B-O-B and B-O-Si hydrolysis are considerably lower than for Si-O-Si hydrolysis in acidic and neutral conditions, but less so in basic conditions. Our results suggest that at the initial stage, B-O-Si hydrolysis might contribute to the change of dissolution mechanism observed experimentally at increasing pH values.

AB Non-isothermal ice melting in the fibrous gas-diffusion layer (GDL) of a proton-exchange-membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Non-isothermal ice-melting rates and ice-melting times are obtained from heat-flow measurements in water-saturated Toray GDLs at heating rates of 1, 2.5, 5, 10, and 25 K/min. In all cases, ice-melting times decrease nonlinearly with increasing heating rate. Nevertheless, melting temperatures remain at 272.9 +/- 0.5 and 272.7 +/- 0.4 K for bulk ice and ice within the GDL, respectively, reiterating that melting is thermodynamic-based at a rate limited by heat transfer. The slight GDL ice melting-point depression is consistent with the Gibbs-Thomson equation for equilibrium melting using an average pore diameter of 30 urn. Ice-melting endotherms are predicted from overall DSC energy balances coupled with a moving-boundary Stefan problem, where an ice-melting front within a GDL propagates with volume-averaged properties through an effective medium. Agreement between DSC experiment and theory is excellent. The proposed model accurately predicts ice-melting endotherms for Toray GDLs with two ice saturations and for bulk ice. Further, a pseudo-steady-state analysis obtains an analytical expression for ice-melting time, which is controlled by the time for heat addition to the propagating solid/liquid interface. Significantly, the new expression elucidates parameters controlling ice melting and allows for better design of both GDL materials and heating strategies to enhance the success of PEMFC cold-start.

AB While many countries have robust child immunization programs and high child vaccination coverage, vaccination of adults has received less attention. The objective of this study was to describe the adult vaccination policies in developed countries.
From 2010 to 2011, we conducted a survey of 33 advanced economies as defined by the International Monetary Fund. The survey asked about national recommendations for adults for 16 vaccines or vaccine components, funding mechanisms for recommended adult vaccines, and the availability of adult vaccination coverage estimates.
Thirty-one of 33 (93.9 %) advanced economies responded to the survey. Twelve of 31 (38.7 %) reported having a comprehensive adult immunization schedule. The total number of vaccines or vaccine components recommended for adults ranged from one to 15 with a median of 10. Seasonal influenza (n = 30), tetanus (n = 28), pneumococcal polysaccharide (n = 27), and hepatitis B (n = 27) were the most frequently recommended vaccines or components.
Approximately two-thirds of survey respondents do not have a comprehensive adult vaccine schedule, and most do not measure vaccination coverage. We found that a funding mechanism is available for most recommended adult vaccines.

AB Fundamental aspects of constant-momentum acceleration time-of-flight mass spectrometry (CMA-TOFMS) are explored as a means to improve mass resolution. By accelerating all ions to the same momentum rather than to the same energy, the effects of the initial ion spatial and energy distributions upon the total ion flight time are decoupled. This decoupling permits the initial spatial distribution of ions in the acceleration region to be optimized independently, and energy focus, including ion turn-around-time error, to be accomplished with a linear-field reflectron. Constant-momentum acceleration also linearly disperses ions across time according to mass-to-charge (m/z) ratio, instead of the quadratic relationship between flight time and m/z found in conventional TOFMS. Here, CMA-TOFMS is shown to achieve simultaneous spatial and energy focusing over a selected portion of the mass spectrum. An orthogonal-acceleration time-of-flight system outfitted with a reduced-pressure DC glow discharge (GD) ionization source is used to demonstrate CMA-TOFMS with atomic ions. The influence of experimental parameters such as the amplitude and width of the time-dependent CMA pulse on mass resolution is investigated, and a useful CMA-TOFMS focusing window of 2 to 18 Da is found for GD-CMA-TOFMS.

ID LASER REMOVAL; SILICA; DAMAGE; OPTICS; CONTAMINATION
AB Surface modification of fused silica windows caused by the ablation of surface-bound microparticles under short pulse laser irradiation is investigated and related to beam propagation effects. Particle material dispersal and subsequent surface pitting after multiple pulses of 351 nm, similar to 9 J/cm(2) laser light were found to depend strongly on material type and particle size. Surface pitting was most significant for opaque materials (aluminum, steel, acetal homopolymer), yielding pits as deep as 600 nm for similar to 30 mu m diameter particles. Transparent particles (PET polymer, glass) tended to disperse material more widely and caused less pitting (similar to 100 nm) than the opaque materials. Paraxial light propagation analysis showed that phase objects created by ablated opaque materials resulted in higher peak intensification (similar to 3x) than those created by transparent materials (similar to 1.5x). The fragmentation of ablated material is discussed in terms of brittle or ductile failure at high strain rates, indicating reasonable agreement between experiment and theory. An approximation for the laser-induced plasma pressure and size of the dispersal pattern is derived, indicating an inverse correlation with material density.

AB Pure and Eu-doped ZnS nanoparticles have been synthesized by chemical precipitation technique. Morphological study reveals the spherical nature of the synthesized nanoparticles as well as its average size to be 29-37 nm. The effect of Eu-doping on structural and optical properties of the synthesized nanoparticles has been investigated. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy confirms the stoichiometry of the synthesized nanoparticles. X-ray diffraction study reveals that the synthesized nanoparticles possess the cubic crystal structure. XRD confirms that higher doping concentration of Eu from 10 to 20% results in the formation of Eu2O3. UV-visible spectroscopy reveals that the band gap of the pure ZnS nanoparticles is 4.2 eV, which further decreases with addition of Eu, to 3.9 eV. Fourier transforms Infra-red spectroscopy shows the presence of surface passivating agent, mercaptoethanol, oil the surface of the synthesized nanoparticles. Photoluminescence spectrum for pure ZnS nanoparticles has been found to be broad and asymmetric, whereas sharp peaks are observed when it was doped with Eu. There are five strong emission peaks at 574, 591, 617, 700, 754 nm have been observed in the PL spectra of the Eu-doped ZnS nanoparticles, respectively associated with (D0 -> F6)-D-5-F-7, E-7(4), F-7(2), F-7(1), F-7(0) transitions. The possible mechanism of observed structural and photoluminescence has been explained on the basis of Eu-doping. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB Comets are known to harbour simple ices and the organic precursors of the building blocks of proteins-amino acids-that are essential to life. Indeed, glycine, the simplest amino acid, was recently confirmed to be present on comet 81P/Wild-2 from samples returned by NASA's Stardust spacecraft. Impacts of icy bodies (such as comets) onto rocky surfaces, and, equally, impacts of rocky bodies onto icy surfaces (such as the jovian and saturnian satellites), could have been responsible for the manufacture of these complex organic molecules through a process of shock synthesis. Here we present laboratory experiments in whichwe shocked ice mixtures analogous to those found in a comet with a steel projectile fired at high velocities in a light gas gun to test whether amino acids could be produced. We found that the hypervelocity impact shock of a typical comet ice mixture produced several amino acids after hydrolysis. These include equal amounts of D-and L-alanine, and the non-protein amino acids alpha-aminoisobutyric acid and isovaline as well as their precursors. Our findings suggest a pathway for the synthetic production of the components of proteins within our Solar System, and thus a potential pathway towards life through icy impacts.

AB Precise control over interfacial chemistry between nanoparticles and other materials remains a major challenge that limits broad application of nanotechnology in biology. To address this challenge, we used 'steric exclusion' to completely convert commercial quantum dots (QDs) into monovalent imaging probes by wrapping each QD with a functionalized oligonucleotide. We demonstrated the utility of these QDs as modular and nonperturbing imaging probes by tracking individual Notch receptors on live cells.

AB The detonation of a terrorist nuclear weapon in the United States would result in the massive loss of life and grave economic damage. Even if a device was not detonated, its known or suspected presence aboard a cargo container ship in a U.S. port would have major economic and political consequences. One possible means to prevent this threat would be to board a ship at sea and search for the device before it reaches port. The scenario considered here involves a small Coast Guard team with strong intelligence boarding a container ship to search for a nuclear device. Using active interrogation, the team would nonintrusively search a block of shipping containers to locate the fissile material. Potential interrogation source and detector technologies for the team are discussed. The methodology of the scan is presented along with a technique for calculating the required interrogation source strength using computer simulations. MCNPX was used to construct a computer model of a container ship, and several search scenarios were simulated. The results of the simulations are presented in terms of the source strength required for each interrogation scenario. Validation measurements were performed in order to scale these simulation results to expected performance. Interrogations through the short (2.4 m) axis of a standardized shipping container appear to be feasible given the entire range of container loadings tested. Interrogations through several containers at once or a single container through its long (12.2 m) axis do not appear to be viable with a portable interrogation system. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.

AB In this work, several active interrogation (Al) sources are evaluated to determine their usefulness in detecting the presence of special nuclear material (SNM) in fishing trawlers, small cargo transport ships, and luxury yachts at large standoff distances from the Al source and detector. This evaluation is performed via computational analysis applying Monte Carlo methods with advanced variance reduction techniques. The goal is to determine the Al source strength required to detect the presence of SNM. The general conclusion of this study is that Al is not reliable when SNM is heavily shielded and not tightly coupled geometrically with the source and detector, to the point that Al should not be considered a via interrogation option in these scenarios. More specifically, when SNM is shielded by hydrogenous material large Al source strengths are required if detection is based on neutrons, which is not surprising. However, if the SNM is shielded by high-Z material the required Al source strengths are not significantly different if detection is based on neutrons or photons, which is somewhat surprising. Furthermore, some of the required Al source strengths that were calculated are very large. These results coupled with the realities of two ships moving independently at sea and other assumptions made during this analysis make the use of standoff Al in the maritime environment impractical.

AB We present results of experiments performing global, ensemble-based, ocean-only data assimilation and assess the utility of such data assimilation in improving model predictions. The POP (Parallel Ocean Program) Ocean General Circulation Model (OGCM) is forced by interannually varying atmospheric fields of version 2 of the Coordinated Ocean Reference Experiment (CORE) data set, and temperature and salinity observations from the World Ocean Database 2009 (WOD09) are assimilated. The assimilation experiments are conducted over a period of about two years starting January 1, 1990 using the framework of the Data Assimilation Research Testbed (DART).
We find that an inflation scheme that blends the ensemble-based sample error covariance with a static estimate of ensemble spread is necessary for the assimilations to be effective in the ocean model. We call this Climatology-based Spread Inflation or CSI for short. The effectiveness of the proposed inflation scheme is investigated in a low-order model; a series of experiments in this context demonstrates its effectiveness.
Using a number of diagnostics, we show that the resulting assimilated state of ocean circulation is more realistic: In particular, the sea surface temperature (SST) shows reduced errors with respect to an unassimilated SST data set, and the subsurface temperature shows reduced errors with respect to observations. Finally, towards assessing the utility of assimilations for predictions, we show that the use of an assimilated state as initial condition leads to improved hindcast skill over a significant period of time; that is when the OGCM is initialized with an assimilated state and run forward, it is better able to predict unassimilated observations of the WOD09 than a control non-assimilating run (approximate to 20% reduction in error) over a period of about three months. The loss of skill beyond this period is conjectured to be due, in part, to model error and prevents an improvement in the representation of variability on longer time-scales.

AB The linewidth of a 14.7 nm wavelength Ni-like Pd soft x-ray laser was measured in a single shot using a soft x-ray diffraction grating interferometer. The instrument uses the time delay introduced by the gratings across the beam to measure the temporal coherence. The spectral linewidth of the 4d(1)S(0)-4p(1)P(1) Ni-like Pd lasing line was measured to be Delta lambda/lambda = 3 x 10(-5) from the Fourier transform of the fringe visibility. This single shot linewidth measurement technique provides a rapid and accurate way to determine the temporal coherence of soft x-ray lasers that can contribute to the development of femtosecond plasma-based soft x-ray lasers.

AB The virial theorem is applied to graphene and other Dirac Materials for systems close to the Dirac points where the dispersion relation is linear. From this, we find the exact form for the total energy given by E = B/r(s) where r(s)a(0) is the mean radius of the d-dimensional sphere containing one particle, with a(0) the Bohr radius, and B is a constant independent of r(s). This result implies that, given a linear dispersion and a Coulombic interaction, there is no Wigner crystallization and that calculating B or measuring at any value of rs determines the energy and compressibility for all r(s). In addition to the total energy, we calculate the exact forms of the chemical potential, pressure and inverse compressibility in arbitrary dimension.

TI Effects of thermal expansion of the crystal lattice on x-ray crystal
spectrometers used for fusion research
SO PLASMA PHYSICS AND CONTROLLED FUSION
LA English
DT Article
ID DIAGNOSTICS; SPECTRA; ION
AB X-ray imaging crystal spectrometers with high spectral and spatial resolution are currently being used on magnetically confined fusion devices to infer the time history profiles of ion and electron temperatures as well as plasma flow velocities. The absolute measurement of flow velocities is important for optimizing various discharge scenarios and evaluating the radial electric field in tokamak and stellarator plasmas. Recent studies indicate that the crystal temperature must be kept constant to within a fraction of a degree to avoid changes of the interplanar 2d-spacing by thermal expansion that cause changes in the Bragg angle, which could be misinterpreted as Doppler shifts. For the instrumental parameters of the x-ray crystal spectrometer on Alcator C-Mod, where those thermal effects were investigated, a change of the crystal temperature by 1 degrees C causes a change of the lattice spacing of the order of Delta d = 1 x 10(-5) angstrom introducing a fictitious velocity drift of the order of similar to 3 km s(-1). This effect must be considered for x-ray imaging crystals spectrometers installed on LHD, KSTAR, EAST, J-TEXT, NSTX and, in the future, W7-X and ITER.

AB A new generation of laser wakefield accelerators (LWFA), supported by the extreme accelerating fields generated in the interaction of PW-Class lasers and underdense targets, promises the production of high quality electron beams in short distances for multiple applications. Achieving this goal will rely heavily on numerical modelling to further understand the underlying physics and identify optimal regimes, but large scale modelling of these scenarios is computationally heavy and requires the efficient use of state-of-the-art petascale supercomputing systems. We discuss the main difficulties involved in running these simulations and the new developments implemented in the OSIRIS framework to address these issues, ranging from multi-dimensional dynamic load balancing and hybrid distributed/shared memory parallelism to the vectorization of the PIC algorithm. We present the results of the OASCR Joule Metric program on the issue of large scale modelling of LWFA, demonstrating speedups of over 1 order of magnitude on the same hardware. Finally, scalability to over similar to 10(6) cores and sustained performance over similar to 2 P Flops is demonstrated, opening the way for large scale modelling of LWFA scenarios.

AB Progress toward ignition at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) has been focused on furthering the understanding of implosion performance. Implosion performance depends on the capsule fuel shape, on higher mode asymmetries that may cause hydrodynamic instabilities to quench ignition, on time-dependent asymmetries introduced by the hohlraum target, and on ablator performance. Significant findings in each of these four areas is reported. These investigations have led to improved in-flight capsule shape, a demonstration that a capsule robust to mix can generate high levels of neutrons (7.7 x 10(14)), hohlraum modifications that should ultimately provide improved beam propagation and better laser coupling, and fielding of capsules with high-density carbon (HDC) ablators. A capsule just fielded with a HDC ablator and filled with DT gas generated a preliminary record level of neutrons at 1.6 x 10(15), or 5 kJ of energy. Future plans include further improvements to fuel shape and hohlraum performance, fielding robust capsules at higher laser power and energy, and tuning the HDC capsule. A capsule with a nanocrystalline diamond (HDC) ablator on a DT ice layer will be fielded at NIF later this year.

AB Flux ropes form basic building blocks for magnetic dynamics in many plasmas, are macroscopic analogues of magnetic field lines, and are irreducibly three dimensional (3D). We have used the relaxation scaling experiment (RSX) to study flux ropes, and have found many new features involving 3D dynamics, kink instability driven reconnection, nonlinearly stable but kinking flux ropes, and large flows.

AB We describe results from imaging observations of atomic line and continuum emission in the 550.6 nm region on Alcator C-Mod. Both the 550.6 nm neutral molybdenum emission and the adjacent 549 nm continuum emission are imaged separately to isolate line emission. A few complications of using imaging to infer erosion in this wavelength region are discussed including subtraction of continuum emission and determination of an appropriate S/XB coefficient. Diagnostics of surface erosion and thermography using these emissions are briefly reviewed, and used to study phenomenology during ohmic operation, ion cyclotron range of frequencies heating (ICRH), and lower hybrid current drive (LHCD). In addition to broadening of Mo I emission regions in the outer divertor and main limiter during ICRH compared to ohmic operation, mid-plane localized heating of the main limiter associated with fast-ion impact is observed which exceeds the divertor heat flux. During LHCD operation, several localized regions of increased brightness associated with hot spots are interpreted as heating due to localized density peaking, which re-iterates the importance of imaging continuum emission for subtraction. These sources of surface heating exacerbate plasma-material interactions at the device wall and may require additional mitigation if they cannot be avoided in future machines.

AB Liquid metal plasma-facing components (PFCs) have been proposed as a means of solving several problems facing the creation of economically viable fusion power reactors. Liquid metals face critical issues in three key areas: free-surface stability, material migration and demonstration of integrated scenarios. To date, few demonstrations exist of this approach in a diverted tokamak and we here provide an overview of such work on the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX). The liquid lithium divertor (LLD) was installed and operated for the 2010 run campaign using evaporated coatings as the filling method. Despite a nominal liquid level exceeding the capillary structure and peak current densities into the PFCs exceeding 100 kA m(-2), no macroscopic ejection events were observed. The stability can be understood from a Rayleigh-Taylor instability analysis. Capillary restraint and thermal-hydraulic considerations lead to a proposed liquid-metal PFCs scheme of actively-supplied, capillary-restrained systems. Even with state-of-the-art cooling techniques, design studies indicate that the surface temperature with divertor-relevant heat fluxes will still reach temperatures above 700 degrees C. At this point, one would expect significant vapor production from a liquid leading to a continuously vapor-shielded regime. Such high-temperature liquid lithium PFCs may be possible on the basis of momentum-balance arguments.

AB Shock waves are widespread in collisionless space plasmas throughout the Universe. How particles are accelerated at these shocks has been the subject of much research attention. The dominant source of the high-energy particles that pervade our Galaxy (cosmic rays) is thought to be the high-Mach number collisionless shocks that form around young supernova remnants, but it is unclear how much the lower Mach number collisionless shock waves frequently encountered by spacecraft in Solar System space plasmas can tell us about particle acceleration in the higher Mach number regime. Here we review recent studies of the shock wave that stands in the solar wind in front of the planet Saturn (Saturn's bow shock), based on Cassini spacecraft observations. This review represents a new direction of shock physics research, with the potential to bridge the gap between Solar System and astrophysical shocks. These studies have confirmed that Saturn's bow shock is one of the strongest shocks in the Solar System, and a recent discovery indicates that electron acceleration at high-Mach numbers may occur irrespective of the upstream magnetic field geometry. This is important because astrophysical shocks can often only be studied remotely via emissions associated with accelerated electrons. We discuss possible future directions of this emerging sub-field of collisionless space plasma shock physics.

TI Non-axisymmetric magneto-hydrodynamic equilibrium in the presence of
internal magnetic islands and external magnetic perturbation coils
SO PLASMA PHYSICS AND CONTROLLED FUSION
LA English
DT Article
AB Non-axisymmetric equilibria arise in DIII-D discharges that are subjected to magnetic perturbation by 3D magnetic coils. But, 3D shaping of the entire plasma, including the boundary, also occurs in the rotating fluid frame of saturated internal magnetic islands (Tobias et al 2013 Plasma Phys. Control. Fusion 55 095006). This is advantageous since internal islands and kink responses that rotate near the fluid velocity of the plasma are easily diagnosed, while static perturbations in the laboratory frame are not. The helicity of the perturbed shape is the same in both rotational frames of reference, making one mode a diagnostic proxy for the other and allowing internal modes to be used as a source of data for comparison to models typically applied to understanding the effect of static perturbations. Discrepancies with ideal magneto-hydrodynamic equilibrium obtained by the IPEC (Park et al 2007 Phys. Plasmas 14 052110) method brings attention to the treatment of plasma displacements near rational surfaces and their relationship to the accessibility of equilibrium states.

AB The system for controlling neoclassical tearing modes (NTMs) in DIII-D now catches the NTM the moment it becomes unstable by turning on the stabilizing electron cyclotron current drive (ECCD) and promptly bringing it back to stable before it has grown to a large size. Between NTMs, the ECCD can be turned off to save power, which will improve the fusion gain, Q, when used in ITER. This technique, named 'catch and subdue' (C&S), has been made possible by several advancements over the years at DIII-D. Firstly, ECCD must be very accurately aligned to the NTM; this is achieved by algorithms that probe how the NTM responds to changes in the alignment. Secondly, the alignment must be maintained even when the NTM is gone so that the ECCD will immediately stabilize when turned on in response to a new NTM. This is made possible by real-time equilibrium reconstructions that include measurements of the motional Stark effect and by a refraction estimator. Thirdly, real-time steerable mirrors are now fast and accurate actuators for the alignment adjustments. Fourthly, early NTM detection is made possible by a real-time mode analysis that filters noise to minimize false positives. These various control elements will be described and followed by a discussion of the further development needed for NTM control on ITER.

AB Electronic properties of organic semiconductors are often critically dependent upon their ability to order from the molecular level to the macro-scale, as is true for many other materials attributes of macromolecular matter such as mechanical characteristics. Therefore, understanding of the molecular assembly process and the resulting solid-state short- and long-range order is critical to further advance the field of organic electronics. Here, we will discuss the structure development as a function of molecular weight in thin films of a model conjugated polymer, poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT), when processed from solution and the melt. While focus is on the microstructural manipulation and characterization, we also treat the influence of molecular arrangement and order on electronic processes such as charge transport and show, based on classical polymer science arguments, how accounting for the structural complexity of polymers can provide a basis for establishing relevant processing/structure/property-interrelationships to explain some of their electronic features. Such relationships can assist with the design of new materials and definition of processing protocols that account for the molecular length, chain rigidity and propensity to order of a given system.

AB In this work, we consider a sinusoidal-walled tube (a three-dimensional tube with sinusoidally-varying diameter) as a simplified conceptualization of flow in porous media. Direct numerical simulation using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods was used to compute velocity fields by solving the Navier-Stokes equations, and also to numerically solve the volume averaging closure problem, for a range of Reynolds numbers (Re) spanning the low-Re to inertial flow regimes, including one simulation at Re = 449 for which unsteady flow was observed. The longitudinal dispersion observed for the flow was computed using a random walk particle tracking method, and this was compared to the longitudinal dispersion predicted from a volume-averaged macroscopic mass balance using the method of volume averaging; the results of the two methods were consistent. Our results are compared to experimental measurements of dispersion in porous media and to previous theoretical results for both the low-Re, Stokes flow regime and for values of Re representing the steady inertial regime. In the steady inertial regime, a power-law increase in the effective longitudinal dispersion (D-L) with Re was found, and this is consistent with previous results. This rapid rate of increase is caused by trapping of solute in expansions due to flow separation (eddies). One unsteady (but non-turbulent) flow case (Re = 449) was also examined. For this case, the rate of increase of D-L with Re was smaller than that observed at lower Re. Velocity fluctuations in this regime lead to increased rates of solute mass transfer between the core flow and separated flow regions, thus diminishing the amount of tailing caused by solute trapping in eddies and thereby reducing longitudinal dispersion. The observed tailing was further explored through analysis of concentration skewness (third moment) and its assymptotic convergence to conventional advection-dispersion behavior (skewness = 0). The method of volume averaging was applied to develop a skewness model, and demonstrated that the skewness decreases as a function of inverse square root of time. Our particle tracking simulation results were shown to conform to this theoretical result in most of the cases considered. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB We have conducted a series of high-resolution numerical experiments using the Pair-Wise Force Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (PF-SPH) multiphase flow model. First, we derived analytical expressions relating parameters in the PF-SPH model to the surface tension and static contact angle. Next, we used the model to study viscous fingering, capillary fingering, and stable displacement of immiscible fluids in porous media for a wide range of capillary numbers and viscosity ratios. We demonstrated that the steady state saturation profiles and the boundaries of viscous fingering, capillary fingering, and stable displacement regions compare favorably with micromodel laboratory experimental results. For a displacing fluid with low viscosity, we observed that the displacement pattern changes from viscous fingering to stable displacement with increasing injection rate. When a high viscosity fluid is injected, transition behavior from capillary fingering to stable displacement occurred as the flow rate was increased. These observations are also in agreement with the results of the micromodel laboratory experiments. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB The effect of elevated dissolved CO2 concentrations on compositionally and structurally distinct carbonate sample cores from the Weyburn-Midale CO2-enhanced oil recovery and storage site (Canada) was measured from analysis of 3-D sample characterization and fluid chemistry data from core-flood experiments. Experimental conditions (60 degrees C; 24.8 MPa confining pressure) and brine composition were chosen to mimic in situ reservoir conditions. Mineralogy and pore space distributions within the eight individual cores were characterized with X-ray computed microtomography and scanning electron microscopy both before and after exposure to brine with 0.5 <= pCO(2) <= 3 MPa, while solution chemistry and differential fluid pressures were monitored during experiments.
Our experimental study aimed to quantify the relationship between fluid flow, heterogeneity, and reaction specific to carbon storage at the Weyburn-Midale field by integrating characterization imaging, pressure data, and solution chemistry. Through the use of non-invasive microtomographic imaging, a variety of dissolution behaviors were observed, with variable effects on the evolution of solution chemistry and permeability as a result of heterogeneity within these two relatively low permeability carbonate samples. Similar-sized, evenly distributed pores, and steadily advancing dissolution fronts suggested that uniform flow velocities were maintained throughout the duration of the higher permeability "Marly" dolostone core experiments. The development of unstable dissolution fronts and fast pathways occurred in the "Vuggy" sample experiments when fluid velocities varied widely within the sample (as a result of increased pore structure heterogeneity). The overall effect of fast pathway development was to increase bulk permeability values by several orders of magnitude, allowing CO2-acidified fluids to travel through the cores largely unmodified by carbonate mineral reaction, as indicated by a lack of change in later-time solution pH levels at the core outlet. Given the impact of heterogeneity within low permeability cores, effort should be taken to incorporate smaller-scale heterogeneity into predictive models and such an averaging approach (utilizing the data and observations discussed here) is the topic of our companion manuscript (see Hao et al., 2013).
Solution chemistry results indicated that steady-state carbonate mass transfer conditions were attained in the Marly dolostone experiments and during the earlier (pre-pressure breakthrough) portions of the Vuggy limestone experiments. Steady-state calcium and magnesium concentrations coincided with outlet solutions that were calculated to be at or very near to equilibrium with respect to both calcite and dolomite, relative to available thermodynamic data and considering experimental data scatter. Carbonate mass transfer data were evaluated against a variety of proposed carbonate dissolution mechanisms, including both pH-and pCO(2)-dependent expressions as well as a simplified pH-independent formulation. Based on this analysis, the calcite reaction rate coefficient was estimated to be similar to 17 times faster than that for dolomite dissolution under our experimental conditions. This ratio is consistent with the use of rate equations that depend on carbonate mineral saturation without specifying additional dependence on solution pH or CO2 levels, and may be a result of the narrow experimental pH range. In addition, solution chemistry data were combined with time-dependent pressure data to constrain the exponent in a power-law expression describing the relationship between evolving porosity and permeability within the Vuggy limestones. This relationship as well as proposed carbonate kinetic expressions are further evaluated in our companion paper (see Hao et al., 2013). (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB We used the 3D continuum-scale reactive transport models to simulate eight core flood experiments for two different carbonate rocks. In these experiments the core samples were reacted with brines equilibrated with pCO(2) = 3, 2, 1, 0.5 MPa (Smith et al., 2013 [27]). The carbonate rocks were from specific Marly dolostone and Vuggy limestone flow units at the IEAGHG Weyburn-Midale CO2 Monitoring and Storage Project in south-eastern Saskatchewan, Canada. Initial model porosity, permeability, mineral, and surface area distributions were constructed from micro tomography and microscopy characterization data. We constrained model reaction kinetics and porosity-permeability equations with the experimental data. The experimental data included time-dependent solution chemistry and differential pressure measured across the core, and the initial and final pore space and mineral distribution. Calibration of the model with the experimental data allowed investigation of effects of carbonate reactivity, flow velocity, effective permeability, and time on the development and consequences of stable and unstable dissolution fronts.
The continuum scale model captured the evolution of distinct dissolution fronts that developed as a consequence of carbonate mineral dissolution and pore scale transport properties. The results show that initial heterogeneity and porosity contrast control the development of the dissolution fronts in these highly reactive systems. This finding is consistent with linear stability analysis and the known positive feedback between mineral dissolution and fluid flow in carbonate formations. Differences in the carbonate kinetic drivers resulting from the range of pCO2 used in the experiments and the different proportions of more reactive calcite and less reactive dolomite contributed to the development of new pore space, but not to the type of dissolution fronts observed for the two different rock types. The development of the dissolution front was much more dependent on the physical heterogeneity of the carbonate rock. The observed stable dissolution fronts with small but visible dissolution fingers were a consequence of the clustering of a small percentage of larger pores in an otherwise homogeneous Marly dolostone. The observed wormholes in the heterogeneous Vuggy limestone initiated and developed in areas of greater porosity and permeability contrast, following pre-existing preferential flow paths.
Model calibration of core flood experiments is one way to specifically constrain parameter input used for specific sites for larger scale simulations. Calibration of the governing rate equations and constants for Vuggy limestones showed that dissolution rate constants reasonably agree with published values. However the calcite dissolution rate constants fitted to the Marly dolostone experiments are much lower than those suggested by literature. The differences in fitted calcite rate constants between the two rock types reflect uncertainty associated with measured reactive surface area and appropriately scaling heterogeneous distribution of less abundant reactive minerals. Calibration of the power-law based porosity-permeability equations was sensitive to the overall heterogeneity of the cores. Stable dissolution fronts of the more homogeneous Marly dolostone could be fit with the exponent n = 3 consistent with the traditional Kozeny-Carman equation developed for porous sandstones. More impermeable and heterogeneous cores required larger n values (n = 6-8). (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB CO2 injection and storage in deep saline aquifers involves many coupled processes, including multiphase flow, heat and mass transport, rock deformation and mineral precipitation and dissolution. Coupling is especially critical in carbonate aquifers, where minerals will tend to dissolve in response to the dissolution of CO2 into the brine. The resulting neutralization will drive further dissolution of both CO2 and calcite. This suggests that large cavities may be formed and that proper simulation may require full coupling of reactive transport and multiphase flow. We show that solving the latter may suffice whenever two requirements are met: (1) all reactions can be assumed to occur in equilibrium and (2) the chemical system can be calculated as a function of the state variables of the multiphase flow model (i.e., liquid and gas pressure, and temperature). We redefine the components of multiphase flow codes (traditionally, water and CO2), so that they are conservative for all reactions of the chemical system. This requires modifying the traditional constitutive relationships of the multiphase flow codes, but yields the concentrations of all species and all reaction rates by simply performing speciation and mass balance calculations at the end of each time step. We applied this method to the H2O-CO2-Na-Cl-CaCO3 system, so as to model CO2 injection into a carbonate aquifer containing brine. Results were very similar to those obtained with traditional formulations, which implies that full coupling of reactive transport and multi-phase flow is not really needed for this kind of systems, but the resulting simplifications may make it advisable even for cases where the above requirements are not met. Regarding the behavior of carbonate rocks, we find that porosity development near the injection well is small because of the low solubility of calcite. Moreover, dissolution concentrates at the front of the advancing CO2 plume because the brine below the plume tends to reach high CO2 concentrations quite rapidly. We conclude that carbonate dissolution needs not to be feared. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB The standard approach for geologic storage of CO2 consists of injecting it as a supercritical CO2 phase. This approach places stringent requirements on the caprock, which must display: (1) high entry pressure to prevent the buoyancy driven upwards escape of CO2; (2) low permeability to minimize the upwards flux of brine displaced by the CO2; and (3) high strength to ensure that pressure build up does not cause caprock failure. We propose an alternative approach for cases when the above requirements are not met. The approach consists of extracting brine from the storage formation and then re-injecting it so that it mixes with CO2 at depth in the injection well. Mixing at depth reduces the pressure required for brine and CO2 at the surface. This CO2-saturated brine will sink to the aquifer bottom because it is denser than resident brine, which eliminates the risk of buoyant escape of CO2. The method is particularly favorable when the aquifer dips, because CO2-saturated brine will tend to flow downslope. We perform two- and three-dimensional numerical simulations to study how far upslope the extraction well needs to be located to ensure a very long operation without CO2 ever breaking through. Several sets of simulations were carried out to evaluate the effect of slope, temperature, pressure and CO2 concentration, which is significantly reduced if flue gas (i.e., without capture) is mixed with the brine. We analyze energy requirements to find that the system requires high permeability to be viable, but its performance is improved by taking advantage of the thermal energy of the extracted brine.

AB In this paper, we develop a methodology for early detection of potential CO2 leakage from geological storage formations using pressure and surface-deformation anomalies. The basic idea is based on the fact that leakage-induced pressure signals travel much faster than the migrating CO2; thus such anomalies may be detected early enough for risk management measures taking effect in avoiding substantial CO2 leaks. The early detection methodology involves automatic inversion of anomalous brine leakage signals with efficient forward pressure and surface-deformation modeling tools to estimate the location and permeability of leaky features in the caprock. We conduct a global sensitivity analysis to better understand under which conditions pressure anomalies can be clearly identified as leakage signals, and evaluate signal detectability for a broad parameter range considering different detection limits and levels of data noise. The inverse methodology is then applied to two synthetic examples of idealized two-aquifer-and-one aquitard storage systems, with an injection well and a leaky well, for different monitoring scenarios. In Example 1, only pressure data at the monitoring and injection wells are used for leakage detection. Our results show that the accuracy of leakage detection greatly depends on the level of pressure data noise. In Example 2, joint inversion of pressure and surface-deformation measurements significantly improves the speed of convergence toward the true solution of the leakage parameters and enables early leakage detection. In both examples, successful detection is achieved when two monitoring wells are appropriately placed within up to 4 km from the leaky well. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

in a sodium cooled Fast Reactor

AB The present paper compares the reactor physics and transmutation performance of sodium-cooled Fast Reactors (FRs) for TRansUranic (TRU) burning with thorium (Th) or uranium (U) as fertile materials. The 1000 MWt Toshiba-Westinghouse Advanced Recycling Reactor (ARR) conceptual core has been used as benchmark for the comparison. Both burner and breakeven configurations sustained or started with a TRU supply, and assuming full actinide homogeneous recycle strategy, have been developed. State-of-the-art core physics tools have been employed to establish fuel inventory and reactor physics performances for equilibrium and transition cycles. Results show that Th fosters large improvements in the reactivity coefficients associated with coolant expansion and voiding, which enhances safety margins and, for a burner design, can be traded for maximizing the TRU burning rate. A trade-off of Th compared to U is the significantly larger fuel inventory required to achieve a breakeven design, which entails additional blankets at the detriment of core compactness as well as fuel manufacturing and separation requirements. The gamma field generated by the progeny of U-232 in the U bred from Th challenges fuel handling and manufacturing, but in case of full recycle, the high contents of Am and Cm in the transmutation fuel impose remote fuel operations regardless of the presence of U-232.

AB This study introduces a new correction factor to obtain the experimental effective multiplication factor of subcritical assemblies by the point kinetics formulation. The correction factor is defined as the ratio between the MCNP6 prompt neutron decay constant obtained in criticality mode and the one obtained in source mode. The correction factor mainly takes into account the longer neutron lifetime in the reflector region and the effects of the external neutron source. For the YALINA Thermal facility, the comparison between the experimental and computational effective multiplication factors noticeably improves after the application of the correction factor. The accuracy of the MCNP6 computational model of the YALINA Thermal subcritical assembly has been verified by reproducing the neutron count rate, Rossi-alpha, and Feynman-alpha distributions obtained from the experimental data.

AB The fully ceramic microencapsulated (FCM) fuel concept is based on the tri-isotropic (TRISO) carbon coated fuel particles. These particles were developed and demonstrated for use in high temperature gas reactors. It has been proposed to use these particles in light water reactors to provide potential operational and safety benefits. The reference fuel in this case assumes TRISO-like particles with a similar to 20%-enriched uranium-nitride kernel embedded in a silicon carbide (SiC) matrix. The fuel particles are contained in a "compact" which is then inserted into a cladding. The fuel assembly features the same dimensions as a standard 17 x 17 Westinghouse fuel assembly. FCM fuel requires fission products to traverse several barriers in the proposed fuel design before reaching the cladding. FCM fuel may also reduce fuel-cladding interaction and fuel pellet swelling while enabling higher fuel burn-up. This study is a neutronic evaluation of the use of FCM fuel in an advanced pressurized water reactor (PWR). On the lattice level, the SERPENT Monte Carlo and TRITON deterministic tools were used, while the whole core simulation was based on the three-dimensional PARCS nodal code.
This paper presents the results of the lattice-level neutronic study of doubly heterogeneous FCM fuel. Strong agreement was found between the SERPENT and TRITON codes in terms of k-infinity as a function of burn-up, actinide build-up, and "pin" powers. The impact of several simplifying geometric assumptions was considered, such as the use of a square particle lattice within the FCM fuel pins. It was determined that the linear reactivity model does not provide a good estimate of the fuel cycle length, due primarily to non-linear reactivity behavior at high burn-up (>800 effective full power days). To determine cycle length, higher order reactivity models were applied to the lattice results. The calculated cycle lengths are slightly reduced versus a reference uranium oxide case. Finally, the assembly-level reactivity coefficients were calculated as a function of burn-up. The fuel and moderator temperature coefficients were negative for FCM fuel, but reduced in magnitude by approximately 50% versus a reference uranium oxide case. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

AB The fully ceramic microencapsulated (FCM) fuel is based on the tri-isotropic (TRISO) carbon coated fuel particles. These particles were developed and demonstrated for use in high temperature gas reactors. It has been proposed to use these particles in light water reactors to provide potential operational and safety benefits. The reference fuel in this case assumes TRISO-like particles with a similar to 20%-enriched uranium-nitride kernel embedded in a silicon carbide (SiC) matrix. The fuel particles are contained in a "compact" which is then inserted into a cladding. The fuel assembly features the same dimensions as a standard 17 x 17 Westinghouse fuel assembly. FCM fuel requires fission products to traverse several barriers in the proposed fuel design before reaching the cladding. FCM fuel may also reduce fuel-cladding interaction and fuel pellet swelling while enabling higher fuel burn-up. This study is a neutronic evaluation of the use of FCM fuel in an advanced pressurized water reactor (PWR). On the lattice level, the SERPENT Monte Carlo and TRITON deterministic tools were used, while the whole core simulation was based on the three-dimensional PARCS nodal code.
The present paper focuses on two of the issues associated with this proposed implementation: specifically the development of a reasonable reference full-core model of an advanced PWR with FCM fuel and the response of the PWR to a reactivity insertion accident (RIA). This work addresses the issues of the increased power density and transients that occur on short time-scales in a PWR. In this case, the RIA takes the form of a control rod ejection for a typical PWR reactor. This results in a sudden increase in power and a corresponding increase in fuel kernel temperature. In the case of a PWR, this response is more demanding than in the case of a gas-cooled reactor, because the kinetic parameters and feedback coefficients of the two reactors are quite different. The parameters for the fuel and matrix material in the PARCS thermal-hydraulic module were modified to reflect the different geometry and materials. Preliminary data for both un-irradiated and irradiated SiC were obtained from the literature and included in the analyses. A super prompt critical RIA produces an average energy deposition (<124.6 J/g) that is estimated for different simplified thermal representations of the FCM fuel pin. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

AB We report the unambiguous detection of non-thermal X-ray emission up to 30 keV from the Cannonball, a few-arcsecond long diffuse X-ray feature near the Galactic Center, using the NuSTAR X-ray observatory. The Cannonball is a high-velocity (v(proj) similar to 500 km s (1)) pulsar candidate with a cometary pulsar wind nebula (PWN) located similar to 2' north-east from Sgr A*, just outside the radio shell of the supernova remnant Sagittarius A (Sgr A) East. Its non-thermal X-ray spectrum, measured up to 30 keV, is well characterized by a Gamma similar to 1.6 power law, typical of a PWN, and has an X-ray luminosity of L(3-30 keV) = 1.3 x 10(34) erg s(-1). The spectral and spatial results derived from X-ray and radio data strongly suggest a runaway neutron star born in the Sgr A East supernova event. We do not find any pulsed signal from the Cannonball. The NuSTAR observations allow us to deduce the PWN magnetic field and show that it is consistent with the lower limit obtained from radio observations.

TI BioPig: a Hadoop-based analytic toolkit for large-scale sequence data
SO BIOINFORMATICS
LA English

ID CLOUD; MAPREDUCE; FRAMEWORK
AB Motivation: The recent revolution in sequencing technologies has led to an exponential growth of sequence data. As a result, most of the current bioinformatics tools become obsolete as they fail to scale with data. To tackle this 'data deluge', here we introduce the BioPig sequence analysis toolkit as one of the solutions that scale to data and computation.
Results: We built BioPig on the Apache's Hadoop MapReduce system and the Pig data flow language. Compared with traditional serial and MPI-based algorithms, BioPig has three major advantages: first, BioPig's programmability greatly reduces development time for parallel bioinformatics applications; second, testing BioPig with up to 500 Gb sequences demonstrates that it scales automatically with size of data; and finally, BioPig can be ported without modification on many Hadoop infrastructures, as tested with Magellan system at National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center and the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud. In summary, BioPig represents a novel program framework with the potential to greatly accelerate data-intensive bioinformatics analysis.

AB Motivation: Our goal is to develop a screening platform for quantitative profiling of colony organizations in 3D cell culture models. The 3D cell culture models, which are also imaged in 3D, are functional assays that mimic the in vivo characteristics of the tissue architecture more faithfully than the 2D cultures. However, they also introduce significant computational challenges, with the main barriers being the effects of growth conditions, fixations and inherent complexities in segmentation that need to be resolved in the 3D volume.
Results: A segmentation strategy has been developed to delineate each nucleus in a colony that overcomes (i) the effects of growth conditions, (ii) variations in chromatin distribution and (iii) ambiguities formed by perceptual boundaries from adjacent nuclei. The strategy uses a cascade of geometric filters that are insensitive to spatial non-uniformity and partitions a clump of nuclei based on the grouping of points of maximum curvature at the interface of two neighboring nuclei. These points of maximum curvature are clustered together based on their coplanarity and proximity to define dissecting planes that separate the touching nuclei. The proposed curvature-based partitioning method is validated with both synthetic and real data, and is shown to have a superior performance against previous techniques. Validation and sensitivity analysis are coupled with the experimental design that includes a non-transformed cell line and three tumorigenic cell lines, which covers a wide range of phenotypic diversity in breast cancer. Colony profiling, derived from nuclear segmentation, reveals distinct indices for the morphogenesis of each cell line.

ID CLIMATE-CHANGE; COPENHAGEN ACCORD; STABILIZATION; REASONS; CYCLE
AB We examine the potential role of "solar radiation management" or "sunlight reduction methods" (SRM) in limiting future climate change, focusing on the interplay between SRM deployment and mitigation in the context of uncertainty in climate response. We use a straightforward scenario analysis to show that the policy and physical context determine the potential need, amount, and timing of SRM. SRM techniques, along with a substantial emission reduction policy, would be needed to meet stated policy goals, such as limiting climate change to 2 A degrees C above pre-industrial levels, if the climate sensitivity is high. The SRM levels examined by current modeling studies are much higher than the levels required under an assumption of a consistent long-term policy. We introduce a degree-year metric, which quantifies the magnitude of SRM that would be needed to keep global temperatures under a given threshold.

AB Nanocrystals of M-2(dobdc) (M = Mg, Ni, Zn; dobdc(4-) = 1,4-dioxido-2,5- benzenedicarboxylate), also known as M-MOF-74 or CPO-27-M, with diameters of similar to 100 nm or less were synthesized using a room-temperature reaction of 2 h duration. Adsorption data collected for CO2 and N-2 show slightly lower surface areas but similar adsorption selectivites relative to the bulk materials. High-quality mixed-matrix membranes containing Mg-2(dobdc) nanocrystals were fabricated using three different polymers for testing under conditions relevant to the removal of CO2 from flue gas. Significant enhancements in CO2 permeability and CO2/N-2 selectivity over a pure polymer membrane were observed when a glassy polyimide was employed as the matrix, while membranes made with rubbery polymers showed decreased permeabilities, presumably due to the plugging of Mg-2(dobdc) pores by polymer chains having a high mobility at room temperature.

AB The instantaneous efficiency of an operating photoelectrochemical solar-fuel-generator system is a complicated function of the tradeoffs between the light intensity and temperature-dependence of the photovoltage and photocurrent, as well as the losses associated with factors that include ohmic resistances, concentration overpotentials, kinetic overpotentials, and mass transport. These tradeoffs were evaluated quantitatively using an advanced photoelectrochemical device model comprised of an analytical device physics model for the semiconducting light absorbers in combination with a multi-physics device model that solved for the governing conservation equations in the various other parts of the system. The model was used to evaluate the variation in system efficiency due to hourly and seasonal variations in solar irradiation as well as due to variation in the isothermal system temperature. The system performance characteristics were also evaluated as a function of the band gaps of the dual-absorber tandem component and its properties, as well as the device dimensions and the electrolyte conductivity. The modeling indicated that the system efficiency varied significantly during the day and over a year, exhibiting local minima at midday and a global minimum at midyear when the solar irradiation is most intense. These variations can be reduced by a favorable choice of the system dimensions, by a reduction in the electrolyte ohmic resistances, and/or by utilization of very active electrocatalysts for the fuel-producing reactions. An increase in the system temperature decreased the annual average efficiency and led to less rapid ramp-up and ramp-down phases of the system, but reduced midday and midyear instantaneous efficiency variations. Careful choice of the system dimensions resulted in minimal change in the system efficiency in response to degradation in the quality of the light absorbing materials. The daily and annually averaged mass of hydrogen production for the optimized integrated system compared favorably to the daily and annually averaged mass of hydrogen that was produced by an optimized stand-alone tandem photovoltaic array connected electrically to a stand-alone electrolyzer system. The model can be used to predict the performance of the system, to optimize the design of solar-driven water splitting devices, and to guide the development of components of the devices as well as of the system as a whole.

AB In order to further efforts in synthesis and catalysis, the mechanisms of catalysts must be completely understood. The Re(bpy)(CO)(3)Cl molecular catalysts are some of the most robust and well-characterized CO2 reduction catalysts known to date. Stopped-flow infrared spectroscopy is reported as a technique for studying the kinetics and mechanisms of the reactions of catalytically-relevant [Re(bpy-R)(CO)(3)](-) anions (R = tBu or H) with CO2/H+. [Re(bpy-tBu)(CO)(3)](-) reacts approximately ten times faster with CO2 than does [Re(bpy)(CO)(3)](-). These reactions occur via a direct two-electron oxidative addition of CO2 to the metal center and result in the formation of an intermediate CO2 reduction product, Re(bpy-R)(CO)(3)(CO2H). This is the first in situ identification of this key intermediate. Evidence for this Re-CO2H species includes isotopic labeling studies, stopped-flow experiments of the kinetics of its formation in the presence of proton sources, comparison with genuine Re(bpy)(CO)(3)(CO2H), and DFT calculations.

AB Everyone working with bacterial genomics is familiar with the phrase too much data'. In this Genome Update, we discuss two methods for helping to deal with this explosion of genomic information. First, we introduce the concept of calculating a quality score for each sequenced genome, and second, we describe a method to quickly sort through genomes for a particular set of protein families. We apply these two methods to all of the current Escherichia coli genomes available in the The National Center for Biotechnology Information database. Out of the 2074 E.coli/Shigella genomes listed (June, 2013), only less than half (983) are of sufficient quality to use in comparative genomic work. Unfortunately, even some of the complete' E.coli genomes are in pieces, and a few draft' genomes are good quality. Six of the seven known sigma factors in E.coli strain K-12 are extremely well conserved; the iron-regulating sigma factor FecI (sigma(19)) is missing in most genomes. Surprisingly, the E.coli strain CFT073 genome does not encode a functional RpoD (sigma(70)), which is obviously essential, and this is likely due to poor genome assembly/annotation. We find a possible novel sigma factor present in more than a hundred E.coli genomes.

AB The single-well injection-withdrawal (SWIW) tracer test is a method used to estimate the tracer retardation properties of a fracture or fracture zone. The effects of single-fracture aperture heterogeneity on SWIW-test tracer breakthrough curves are examined by numerical modelling. The effects of the matrix diffusion and sorption are accounted for by using a particle tracking method through the addition of a time delay added to the advective transport time. For a given diffusion and sorption property (P (m)) value and for a heterogeneous fracture, the peak concentration is larger compared to a homogeneous fracture. The cumulative breakthrough curve for a heterogeneous fracture is similar to that for a homogeneous fracture and a less sorptive/diffusive tracer. It is demonstrated that the fracture area that meets the flowing water, the specific flow-wetted surface (sFWS) of the fracture, can be determined by matching the observed breakthrough curve for a heterogeneous fracture to that for a homogeneous fracture with an equivalent property parameter. SWIW tests are also simulated with a regional pressure gradient present. The results point to the possibility of distinguishing the effect of the regional pressure gradient from that of diffusion through the use of multiple tracers with different P (m) values.

TI Shallow groundwater and soil chemistry response to 3 years of subsurface
drip irrigation using coalbed-methane-produced water

AB Disposal of produced waters, pumped to the surface as part of coalbed methane (CBM) development, is a significant environmental issue in the Wyoming portion of the Powder River Basin, USA. High sodium adsorption ratios (SAR) of the waters could degrade agricultural land, especially if directly applied to the soil surface. One method of disposing of CBM water, while deriving beneficial use, is subsurface drip irrigation (SDI), where acidified CBM waters are applied to alfalfa fields year-round via tubing buried 0.92 m deep. Effects of the method were studied on an alluvial terrace with a relatively shallow depth to water table (similar to 3 m). Excess irrigation water caused the water table to rise, even temporarily reaching the depth of drip tubing. The rise corresponded to increased salinity in some monitoring wells. Three factors appeared to drive increased groundwater salinity: (1) CBM solutes, concentrated by evapotranspiration; (2) gypsum dissolution, apparently enhanced by cation exchange; and (3) dissolution of native Na-Mg-SO4 salts more soluble than gypsum. Irrigation with high SAR (similar to 24) water has increased soil saturated paste SAR up to 15 near the drip tubing. Importantly though, little change in SAR has occurred at the surface.

AB Information theory provides a theoretical framework for measuring information content for an observed variable, and has attracted much attention from visualization researchers for its ability to quantify saliency and similarity among variables. In this paper, we present a new approach towards building an exploration framework based on information theory to guide the users through the multivariate data exploration process. In our framework, we compute the total entropy of the multivariate data set and identify the contribution of individual variables to the total entropy. The variables are classified into groups based on a novel graph model where a node represents a variable and the links encode the mutual information shared between the variables. The variables inside the groups are analyzed for their representativeness and an information based importance is assigned. We exploit specific information metrics to analyze the relationship between the variables and use the metrics to choose isocontours of selected variables. For a chosen group of points, parallel coordinates plots (PCP) are used to show the states of the variables and provide an interface for the user to select values of interest. Experiments with different data sets reveal the effectiveness of our proposed framework in depicting the interesting regions of the data sets taking into account the interaction among the variables.

AB Numerical ensemble forecasting is a powerful tool that drives many risk analysis efforts and decision making tasks. These ensembles are composed of individual simulations that each uniquely model a possible outcome for a common event of interest: e. g., the direction and force of a hurricane, or the path of travel and mortality rate of a pandemic. This paper presents a new visual strategy to help quantify and characterize a numerical ensemble's predictive uncertainty: i.e., the ability for ensemble constituents to accurately and consistently predict an event of interest based on ground truth observations. Our strategy employs a Bayesian framework to first construct a statistical aggregate from the ensemble. We extend the information obtained from the aggregate with a visualization strategy that characterizes predictive uncertainty at two levels: at a global level, which assesses the ensemble as a whole, as well as a local level, which examines each of the ensemble's constituents. Through this approach, modelers are able to better assess the predictive strengths and weaknesses of the ensemble as a whole, as well as individual models. We apply our method to two datasets to demonstrate its broad applicability.

AB As the visualization field matures, an increasing number of general toolkits are developed to cover a broad range of applications. However, no general tool can incorporate the latest capabilities for all possible applications, nor can the user interfaces and workflows be easily adjusted to accommodate all user communities. As a result, users will often chose either substandard solutions presented in familiar, customized tools or assemble a patchwork of individual applications glued through ad-hoc scripts and extensive, manual intervention. Instead, we need the ability to easily and rapidly assemble the best-in-task tools into custom interfaces and workflows to optimally serve any given application community. Unfortunately, creating such meta-applications at the API or SDK level is difficult, time consuming, and often infeasible due to the sheer variety of data models, design philosophies, limits in functionality, and the use of closed commercial systems. In this paper, we present the ManyVis framework which enables custom solutions to be built both rapidly and simply by allowing coordination and communication across existing unrelated applications. ManyVis allows users to combine software tools with complementary characteristics into one virtual application driven by a single, custom-designed interface.

AB Many marine sponges are hosts to dense and phylogenetically diverse microbial communities that are located in the extracellular matrix of the animal. The candidate phylum Poribacteria is a predominant member of the sponge microbiome and its representatives are nearly exclusively found in sponges. Here we used single-cell genomics to obtain comprehensive insights into the metabolic potential of individual poribacterial cells representing three distinct phylogenetic groups within Poribacteria. Genome sizes were up to 5.4Mbp and genome coverage was as high as 98.5%. Common features of the poribacterial genomes indicated that heterotrophy is likely to be of importance for this bacterial candidate phylum. Carbohydrate-active enzyme database screening and further detailed analysis of carbohydrate metabolism suggested the ability to degrade diverse carbohydrate sources likely originating from seawater and from the host itself. The presence of uronic acid degradation pathways as well as several specific sulfatases provides strong support that Poribacteria degrade glycosaminoglycan chains of proteoglycans, which are important components of the sponge host matrix. Dominant glycoside hydrolase families further suggest degradation of other glycoproteins in the host matrix. We therefore propose that Poribacteria are well adapted to an existence in the sponge extracellular matrix. Poribacteria may be viewed as efficient scavengers and recyclers of a particular suite of carbon compounds that are unique to sponges as microbial ecosystems.

AB Members of the genus Candidatus Accumulibacter are important in many wastewater treatment systems performing enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR). The Accumulibacter lineage can be subdivided phylogenetically into multiple clades, and previous work showed that these clades are ecologically distinct. The complete genome of Candidatus Accumulibacter phosphatis strain UW-1, a member of Clade IIA, was previously sequenced. Here, we report a draft genome sequence of Candidatus Accumulibacter spp. strain UW-2, a member of Clade IA, assembled following shotgun metagenomic sequencing of laboratory-scale bioreactor sludge. We estimate the genome to be 80-90% complete. Although the two clades share 16S rRNA sequence identity of >98.0%, we observed a remarkable lack of synteny between the two genomes. We identified 2317 genes shared between the two genomes, with an average nucleotide identity (ANI) of 78.3%, and accounting for 49% of genes in the UW-1 genome. Unlike UW-1, the UW-2 genome seemed to lack genes for nitrogen fixation and carbon fixation. Despite these differences, metabolic genes essential for denitrification and EBPR, including carbon storage polymer and polyphosphate metabolism, were conserved in both genomes. The ANI from genes associated with EBPR was statistically higher than that from genes not associated with EBPR, indicating a high selective pressure in EBPR systems. Further, we identified genomic islands of foreign origins including a near-complete lysogenic phage in the Clade IA genome. Interestingly, Clade IA appeared to be more phage susceptible based on it containing only a single Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats locus as compared with the two found in Clade IIA. Overall, the comparative analysis provided a genetic basis to understand physiological differences and ecological niches of Accumulibacter populations, and highlights the importance of diversity in maintaining system functional resilience.

AB The Deepwater Horizon blowout released a massive amount of oil and gas into the deep ocean between April and July 2010, stimulating microbial blooms of petroleum-degrading bacteria. To understand the metabolic response of marine microorganisms, we sequenced similar to 66 million community transcripts that revealed the identity of metabolically active microbes and their roles in petroleum consumption. Reads were assigned to reference genes from similar to 2700 bacterial and archaeal taxa, but most assignments (39%) were to just six genomes representing predominantly methane-and petroleum-degrading Gammaproteobacteria. Specific pathways for the degradation of alkanes, aromatic compounds and methane emerged from the metatranscriptomes, with some transcripts assigned to methane monooxygenases representing highly divergent homologs that may degrade either methane or short alkanes. The microbial community in the plume was less taxonomically and functionally diverse than the unexposed community below the plume; this was due primarily to decreased species evenness resulting from Gammaproteobacteria blooms. Surprisingly, a number of taxa (related to SAR11, Nitrosopumilus and Bacteroides, among others) contributed equal numbers of transcripts per liter in both the unexposed and plume samples, suggesting that some groups were unaffected by the petroleum inputs and blooms of degrader taxa, and may be important for re-establishing the pre-spill microbial community structure.

AB The synthesis, characterization, and evaluation of different weight loadings of cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) in 8 mol.% yttria-stabilized zirconia (8YSZ) via the co-precipitation method are reported. Prepared powders were calcined at 1350A degrees C for 36 h and 1450A degrees C for 4 h in air. These powders were then formed into a porous structure using sacrificial pore formation via oxidation of co-mixed graphite powder. These formed structures obtained were then characterized using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), x-ray diffraction, high-temperature x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy. Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area analysis was performed on the most promising of the structures before being subjected to 50 thermal reduction-CO2 oxidation (redox) cycles using TGA. Together, these results indicate that CoFe2O4-8YSZ can provide a lower reduction temperature, maintain syngas production performance from cycle to cycle, and enhance utilization of the reactive material within the inert support in comparison to iron oxide only structures.

AB The kinetics of 10 wt.% cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) in 8 mol.% yttria-stabilized zirconia, synthesized via the co-precipitation method and formed into a porous structure, are investigated in support of simulating the performance of a solar thermochemical reactor. Kinetic parameters for the thermal reduction (T-R) of CoFe2O4 at temperatures of 1325-1500A degrees C were investigated by thermogravimetry. A nonlinear best fit of a uniform conversion model was used to determine kinetic parameters from experimental data. In the temperature range of 1375-1450A degrees C, the activation energy and preexponential term were found to be 386 +/- A 13 kJ mol(-1) and 8.8 x 10(9) +/- A 2.0 x 10(8) min(-1), respectively, while increasing at higher temperatures. Simultaneous thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry studies showed an increase in the reaction rate of T-R upon the onset of melting (1440A degrees C). Oxidation studies of the material using CO2 yield an activation energy and preexponential term of 52.1 +/- A 6.8 kJ mol(-1) and 2.86 +/- A 0.2 min(-1), respectively, which is in good agreement with past work. The reaction order for CO2 was determined to be 0.750 +/- A 0.08. The reaction kinetics for oxidation using CO2 were best described by a 3-D diffusion Jander model.

AB For the first time, a face-centered-cubic, single-crystal CoCrFeNiAl0.3 (designated as Al0.3), high-entropy alloy (HEA) was successfully synthesized by the Bridgman solidification (BS) method, at an extremely low withdrawal velocity through a constant temperature gradient, for which it underwent two BS steps. Specially, at the first BS step, the alloy sample underwent several morphological transitions accompanying the crystal growth from the melt. This microstructure evolves from as-cast dendrites, to equiaxed grains, and then to columnar crystals, and last to the single crystal. In particular, at the equiaxed-grain region, some visible annealing twins were observed, which indicates a low stacking fault energy of the Al0.3 alloy. Although a body-centered-cubic CoCrFeNiAl (Al1) HEA was also prepared under the same conditions, only a single columnar-crystal structure with instinctively preferential crystallographic orientations was obtained by the same procedure. A similar morphological transition from dendrites to equiaxed grains occurred at the equiaxed-grain region in Al1 alloy, but the annealing twins were not observed probably because a higher Al addition leads to a higher stacking fault energy for this alloy.

AB The crystal lattice type is one of the dominant factors for controlling the mechanical behavior of high-entropy alloys (HEAs). For example, the yield strength at room temperature varies from 300 MPa for the face-centered-cubic (fcc) structured alloys, such as the CoCrCuFeNiTi (x) system, to about 3,000 MPa for the body-centered-cubic (bcc) structured alloys, such as the AlCoCrFeNiTi (x) system. The values of Vickers hardness range from 100 to 900, depending on lattice types and microstructures. As in conventional alloys with one or two principal elements, the addition of minor alloying elements to HEAs can further alter their mechanical properties, such as strength, plasticity, hardness, etc. Excessive alloying may even result in the change of lattice types of HEAs. In this report, we first review alloying effects on lattice types and properties of HEAs in five Al-containing HEA systems: Al (x) CoCrCuFeNi, Al (x) CoCrFeNi, Al (x) CrFe1.5MnNi0.5, Al (x) CoCrFeNiTi, and Al (x) CrCuFeNi2. It is found that Al acts as a strong bcc stabilizer, and its addition enhances the strength of the alloy at the cost of reduced ductility. The origins of such effects are then qualitatively discussed from the viewpoints of lattice-strain energies and electronic bonds. Quantification of the interaction between Al and 3d transition metals in fcc, bcc, and intermetallic compounds is illustrated in the thermodynamic modeling using the CALculation of PHAse Diagram method.

AB The population of eastern hellbenders (Cryptobranchus alleganiensis alleganiensis) in the Blue River, Indiana has undergone a dramatic decline over the last decade. Recruitment in these declining populations has been negligible, and populations are now composed almost entirely of older age classes (upwards of 20 years old). Given this dramatic decline, it is imperative to assess the impacts of these demographic patterns on population growth and long-term stability. Therefore, we developed a stage-structured, life-history model to examine the effects of varying levels of egg, juvenile, and adult survivorship on abundance, recruitment, and long-term population projections. We performed a sensitivity analysis of the model and determine which life-history parameters have the greatest potential to increase/stabilise hellbender population growth. Finally, we conducted a population viability analysis to determine the probability of extinction associated with varying management strategies. For eastern hellbender populations in Indiana, adults (especially females) are the most important component of long-term population viability. Sensitivity and elasticity analyses of the Lefkovitch matrix revealed that survival of adult and egg/larvae life-history stages are the most important for focused management efforts. Indeed, adults had the highest elasticity and reproductive value in the matrix model. Increasing survival by as little as 20% corresponded to the turning point at which the population ceased to decline and increased abundance (28% survival of egg/larvae). The importance of the transition from subadult to adult (transitional matrix element) was identified as an additional factor in maintaining abundance based on the relatively long period spent in this life-history stage (seven years for females). A population viability analysis was conducted to assess the likelihood and projected time frame of extinction for this population under no management (similar to 25 years to complete extirpation; probability of extinction = 1) and if management efforts such as captive rearing and headstarting are undertaken (probability of extinction <0.2 at 25-30% survival of egg/larvae). Adult females had the greatest effect in reducing growth rate and population abundance when removed in exploitation simulations (91.3% versus 51.8% reduction in population growth rate), indicating translocation efforts should be designed to maintain females in the breeding pool. These models indicated that conservation management strategies aimed at ensuring the presence of adult females while concomitantly ameliorating survival at early life stages (population augmentation, translocations, introduction of artificial nest structures) are needed to stabilise the Indiana population of eastern hellbenders. This stage-structured model is the first to model eastern hellbenders and has broad implications for use across the geographic range where populations of eastern hellbenders are monitored and vital rates can be estimated.

AB NBU1 is a mobilizable transposon found in Bacteroides spp. Mobilizable transposons require gene products from coresident conjugative transposons for excision and transfer to recipient cells. The integration of NBU1 requires IntN1, which has been identified as a tyrosine recombinase, as well as Bacteroides host factor BHFa. Excision of NBU1 is a more complicated process, involving five element-encoded proteins (IntN1, Orf2, Orf2x, Orf3, and PrmN1) as well as a Bacteroides host factor and a cis-acting DNA sequence. Little has been known about what role the proteins play in excision, although IntN1 and Orf2x have been shown to be the only proteins absolutely required for detectable excision. To determine where IntN1 and Orf2x bind during the excision of NBU1, both proteins were partially purified and tested in DNase I footprinting experiments with the excisive attachment sites attL and attR. The results demonstrate that IntN1 binds to four core-type sites that flank the region of cleavage and strand exchange, as well as six arm-type sites. A unique feature of the system is the location of DR2a and DR2b arm-type sites immediately downstream of the attL core. The DR1a, DR1b, DR3a, and DR3b arm-type sites were shown to be required for in vitro integration of NBU1. In addition, we have identified one Orf2x binding site (O1) on attL as well as a dA+dT-rich upstream element that is required for Orf2x interactions with O1.

AB Caldicellulosiruptor bescii is an anaerobic thermophilic bacterium of special interest for use in the consolidated bioprocessing of plant biomass to biofuels. In the course of experiments to engineer pyruvate metabolism in C. bescii, we isolated a mutant of C. bescii that contained an insertion in the l-lactate dehydrogenase gene (ldh). PCR amplification and sequencing of the ldh gene from this mutant revealed a 1,609-bp insertion that contained a single open reading frame of 479 amino acids (1,440 bp) annotated as a hypothetical protein with unknown function. The ORF is flanked by an 8-base direct repeat sequence. Bioinformatic analysis indicated that this ORF is part of a novel transposable element, ISCbe4, which is only intact in the genus Caldicellulosiruptor, but has ancient relatives that are present in degraded (and previously unrecognized) forms across many bacterial and archaeal clades.

TI CdBr2 nanocrystalline layers as nonlinear optical materials
SO JOURNAL OF MATERIALS SCIENCE-MATERIALS IN ELECTRONICS
LA English

ID SINGLE-CRYSTALS; ELECTROOPTICS; CDI2-4H
AB A new type of nanomaterial for optoelectronic is proposed. As such a material cleaved nanolayers of layered CdBr2 single crystals is chosen. A principal possibility to prepare thin hexagonal single crystalline layers of CdBr2 nanocrystals (possessing 6H polytype) with thickness up to several nanometers was shown. The studies of the optical absorption clearly show an occurrence of the blue spectral shift for the absorption edge up to 30 nm. During illumination by the 5 ns nitrogen laser at the wavelength at about 337 nm below the energy band gap it was established a substantial increase of the photoinduced absorption coefficient up to 25 cm(-1) at pump power density equal to about 1 GW cm(-2). The maximal photoinduced effect was observed for the thinnest film possessing thickness about 4 nm. The linear electrooptical effect was maximal at ambient temperature.

AB A new rapid fusion method for the determination of actinides in fecal samples has been developed at the Savannah River National Laboratory that can be used for emergency response or routine bioassay analyses. If a radiological dispersive device, improvised nuclear device or nuclear accident occur, there will be an urgent need for rapid analyses of environmental, food and bioassay matrices. If an inhalation event occurs and there is confirmed radionuclide activity present via urine analyses of individuals, fecal analyses will typically be required to determine the soluble/insoluble fraction of actinides present as a result of the event to allow a more reliable estimate of radiological dose. The new method for actinides in fecal samples uses accelerated furnace heating, a rapid sodium hydroxide fusion method, a lanthanum fluoride matrix removal step, and a column separation process with stacked TEVA, TRU and DGA resin cartridges. The rapid fusion method provides rugged digestion of any refractory particles present, essential for reliable analysis of actinides in fecal samples. Alpha spectrometry was used to determine the actinide isotopes, but this method can be adapted for assay by inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry for actinide isotopes with longer half-lives that have sufficient mass to allow measurement. The method showed high chemical recoveries and effective removal of interferences. The determination of actinides in fecal samples can be performed in less than 12 h in an emergency with excellent quality for emergency samples. The new method, which is much less tedious and time-consuming than other reported methods, can be used for emergency or routine fecal sample analyses. This enables more timely estimates of radiological dose to be performed that utilize soluble/insoluble actinide ratios.

activation analysis
SO JOURNAL OF RADIOANALYTICAL AND NUCLEAR CHEMISTRY

DE Plutonium; Uranium; Delayed neutron activation analysis
ID INDUCED FISSION; ELEMENTS; URANIUM
AB Delayed neutron activation analysis (DNAA) remains one of the most sensitive methods of nondestructively determining fissile materials in a variety of sample matrices, provided that the samples contain only a single fissile component. This has historically been the limiting factor in many applications of DNAA, and often chemically destructive methods of analysis have needed to be utilized for many real-world samples. This work seeks to develop a method that will allow for DNAA to be utilized on samples containing multiple fissile components. Initial efforts, presented here, show that using a multivariate linear regression model to describe the delayed neutron emission profile of an irradiated sample allows for the concurrent determination of fissile nuclides in samples containing both U-235 and Pu-239, without chemical separations and using only a single counting step.

TI Speciation of the uranyl nitrate system via spectrophotometric
titrations
SO JOURNAL OF RADIOANALYTICAL AND NUCLEAR CHEMISTRY
LA English
DT Article
DE Uranyl nitrate; Spectroscopy; SIT; Stability constant
ID URANIUM(VI); COMPLEXATION
AB The speciation of the uranyl nitrate system has been studied previously with limited success producing a wide range of stability constant values. The current literature has values for the mononitrate species, with scattered data for higher nitrate species. Furthermore, the reported values vary with experimental method. The work presented here examines the stability of the uranyl/nitrate/perchlorate/water system via spectrophotometric titrations with a focus on the predominance of the uranyl dinitrate species at low nitrate concentrations. Stability constants were determined at ionic strengths ranging from 1 to 6 molal followed by refinement with the specific ion interaction theory. The zero ionic strength stability constant of the uranyl dinitrate species was refined as log beta (2,1)A(0)A = 3.37 +/- A 0.02 when including the stability constant for the uranyl mononitrate from Ahrland and 2.66 +/- A 0.02 without. These values are considerably higher than previous studies, which is attributed to the alternate speciation model used. The values generated in this work produce speciation diagrams that are consistent with published solvent extraction data of the uranyl nitrate system.

AB The chemical and electrochemical properties of technetium metal were studied in 1-6 M HX and in 1 M NaX (pH 1 and 2.5), X = Cl, NO3. The chemical dissolution rates of Tc metal were higher in HNO3 than in HCl (i.e. 8.63 x 10(-5) mol cm(-2) h(-1) in 6 M HNO3 versus 2.05 x 10(-9) mol cm(-2) h(-1) in 6 M HCl). The electrochemical dissolution rates in HNO3 and HCl were similar and mainly depended on the electrochemical potential and the acid concentration. The optimum dissolution of Tc metal was obtained in 1 M HNO3 at 1 V/AgAgCl (1.70 x 10(-3) mol cm(-2) h(-1)). The dissolution potentials of Tc metal in nitric acid were in the range of 0.596-0.832 V/AgAgCl. Comparison of Tc behavior with Mo and Ru indicated that in HNO3, the dissolution rate followed the order: Mo > Tc > Ru, and for dissolution potential the order: E (diss)(Ru) > E (diss)(Tc) > E (diss)(Mo). The corrosion products of Tc metal were analyzed in HCl solution by UV-Visible spectroscopy and showed the presence of TcO4 (-). The surface of the electrode was characterized by microscopic techniques; it indicated that Tc metal preferentially corroded at the scratches formed during the polishing and no oxide layer was observed.

AB Several porous chromatographic materials were investigated as synthetic substrates for preparing surrogate nuclear explosion debris particles. Eighteen metals, including some of forensic interest, were loaded onto materials by immersing them in metal solutions (556 mg/L of each metal) to fill the pores, applying gentle heat (110 A degrees C) to drive off water, and then treating them at high temperatures (up to 800 A degrees C) in air to form less soluble metal species. High-boiling-point metals were uniformly loaded on spherical controlled-pore glass to emulate early fallout, whereas low-boiling-point metals were loaded on core-shell silica to represent coated particles formed later in the nuclear fallout-formation process. Analytical studies characterized material balance and the formation of recalcitrant species. Metal loading was 1.5-3 times higher than expected from the pore volume alone, a result attributed to surface coating. Most metals were passively loaded; that is, solutions filled the pores without active metal discrimination. However, niobium and tin concentrations were lower in solutions after pore filling, and were found in elevated concentrations in the final products, indicating selective loading. High-temperature treatments caused reduced solubility of several metals, and the loss of some volatile species (rhenium and tellurium). Sample preparation reproducibility was high (the inter- and intra-batch relative standard deviations were 7.8 and 0.84 %, respectively) indicating suitability for use as a working standard for analytical methods development. We anticipate future standardized radionuclide-loaded materials will find use in radioanalytical methods development and/or serve as a starting material for the synthesis of more complex nuclear explosion debris forms (e.g., Trinitite).

AB A new rapid method for the determination of Po-210 in water samples has been developed at the Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) that can be used for emergency response or routine water analyses. If a radiological dispersive device event or a radiological attack associated with drinking water supplies occurs, there will be an urgent need for rapid analyses of water samples, including drinking water, ground water and other water effluents. Current analytical methods for the assay of Po-210 in water samples have typically involved spontaneous auto-deposition of Po-210 onto silver or other metal disks followed by counting by alpha spectrometry. The auto-deposition times range from 90 min to 24 h or more, at times with yields that may be less than desirable. If sample interferences are present, decreased yields and degraded alpha spectrums can occur due to unpredictable thickening in the deposited layer. Separation methods have focused on the use of Sr Resin (TM), often in combination with Pb-210 analysis. A new rapid method for Po-210 in water samples has been developed at the SRNL that utilizes a rapid calcium phosphate co-precipitation method, separation using DGA Resin(A (R)) (N,N,N',N' tetraoctyldiglycolamide extractant-coated resin, Eichrom Technologies or Triskem-International), followed by rapid microprecipitation of Po-210 using bismuth phosphate for counting by alpha spectrometry. This new method can be performed quickly with excellent removal of interferences, high chemical yields and very good alpha peak resolution, eliminating any potential problems with the alpha source preparation for emergency or routine samples. A rapid sequential separation method to separate Po-210 and actinide isotopes was also developed. This new approach, rapid separation with DGA resin plus microprecipitation for alpha source preparation, is a significant advance in radiochemistry for the rapid determination of Po-210.

ID MANAGING ASTHMA; HEALTH CENTERS; MANAGEMENT
AB BACKGROUNDAsthma is a leading chronic childhood disease in the United States and a major contributor to school absenteeism. Evidence suggests that multicomponent, school-based asthma interventions are a strategic way to address asthma among school-aged children. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) encourages the 36 health departments (34 states, District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico) in the National Asthma Control Program (NACP) to implement multicomponent, school-based asthma interventions on a larger scale.
METHODSTo gain a better understanding of replicable best practices for state-coordinated asthma interventions in schools, an NACP evaluation team conducted evaluability assessments of promising interventions run by state asthma programs in Louisiana, Indiana, and Utah.
RESULTSThe team found that state asthma programs play a critical role in implementing school-based asthma interventions due to their ability to (1) use statewide surveillance data to identify asthma trends and address disparities; (2) facilitate connections between schools, school systems, and school-related community stakeholders; (3) form state-level connections; (4) translate policies into action; (5) provide resources and public health practice information to schools and school systems; (6) monitor and evaluate implementation.
CONCLUSIONSThis article presents evaluability assessment findings and illustrates state roles using examples from the 3 participating state asthma programs.

AB Purpose: Computerized tomography use increased exponentially in the last 3 decades, and it is commonly used to evaluate many urological conditions. Ionizing radiation exposure from medical imaging is linked to the risk of malignancy. We measured the organ and calculated effective doses of different studies to determine whether the dose-length product method is an accurate estimation of radiation exposure.
Materials and Methods: An anthropomorphic male phantom validated for human organ dosimetry measurements was used to determine radiation doses. High sensitivity metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor dosimeters were placed at 20 organ locations to measure specific organ doses. For each study the phantom was scanned 3 times using our institutional protocols. Organ doses were measured and effective doses were calculated on dosimetry. Effective doses measured by a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor dosimeter were compared to calculated effective doses derived from the dose-length product.
Results: The mean +/- SD effective dose on dosimetry for stone protocol, chest and abdominopelvic computerized tomography, computerized tomography urogram and renal cell carcinoma protocol computerized tomography was 3.04 +/- 0.34, 4.34 +/- 0.27, 5.19 +/- 0.64, 9.73 +/- 0.71 and 11.42 +/- 0.24 mSv, respectively. The calculated effective dose for these studies Was 3.33, 2.92, 5.84, 9.64 and 10.06 mSv, respectively (p = 0.8478).
Conclusions: The effective dose varies considerable for different urological computerized tomography studies. Renal stone protocol computerized tomography shows the lowest dose, and computerized tomography urogram and the renal cell carcinoma protocol accumulate the highest effective doses. The calculated effective dose derived from the dose-length product is a reasonable estimate of patient radiation exposure.

AB Long-distance host-independent virus dispersal is poorly understood, especially for viruses found in isolated ecosystems. To demonstrate a possible dispersal mechanism, we show that bacteriophage T4, archaeal virus Sulfolobus spindle-shaped virus Kamchatka, and vaccinia virus are reversibly inactivated by mineralization in silica under conditions similar to volcanic hot springs. In contrast, bacteriophage PRD1 is not silicified. Moreover, silicification provides viruses with remarkable desiccation resistance, which could allow extensive aerial dispersal.

AB Multicolor fluorescence in situ hybridization, or FISH, is a widely used method to assess fixed tissues or isolated cells for numerical and structural chromosome aberrations. Unlike other screening procedures which provide average chromosome numbers for heterogeneous samples, FISH is a sensitive cell-by-cell method to analyze the distribution of abnormal cells in complex tissues. Here, we applied FISH to characterize chromosomal composition of a rare, but very important class of human cells that stabilize the fetal-maternal interface connecting the placenta to the uterine wall during early pregnancy, called invasive cytotrophoblasts (iCTBs). Combining differently-labeled, chromosome-specific DNA probes, we were able to unambiguously determine the number of up to six different autosomes and gonosomes in individual cell nuclei from iCTBs selected on the basis of their invasive behavior. In this manuscript, we describe a method for generation of iCTBs from placental villi, and provide the complete workflow of our FISH experiments including a detailed description of reagents and a trouble-shooting guide. We also include an in-depth discussion of the various types and sources of DNA probes which have evolved considerably in the last two decades. Thus, this communication represents both a complete guide as well as a valuable resource, intended to allow an average laboratory to reproduce the experiments and minimize the amount of specialized, and often costly, equipment.

AB Aim: The aim of this work is to evaluate combining targeting strategy and convection-enhanced delivery in brain tumor models by imaging quantum dot-immunoliposome hybrid nanoparticles. Materials & methods: An EGF receptor-targeted, quantum dot-immunoliposome hybrid nanoparticle (QD-IL) was synthesized. In vitro uptake was measured by flow cytometry and intracellular localization was imaged by confocal microscopy. In the in vivo study, QD-ILs were delivered to intracranial xenografts via convection-enhanced delivery and fluorescence was monitored noninvasively in real-time. Results: QD-ILs exhibited specific and efficient uptake in vitro and exhibited approximately 1.3- to 5.0-fold higher total fluorescence compared with nontargeted counterpart in intracranial brain tumor xenografts in vivo. Conclusion: QD-ILs serve as an effective imaging agent in vitro and in vivo, and the data suggest that ligand-directed liposomal nanoparticles in conjunction with convection-enhanced delivery may offer therapeutic benefits for glioblastoma treatment as a result of specific and efficient uptake by malignant cells.

AB Metal fluorides/oxides (MFx/MxOy) are promising electrodes for lithium-ion batteries that operate through conversion reactions. These reactions are associated with much higher energy densities than intercalation reactions. The fluorides/oxides also exhibit additional reversible capacity beyond their theoretical capacity through mechanisms that are still poorly understood, in part owing to the difficulty in characterizing structure at the nanoscale, particularly at buried interfaces. This study employs high-resolution multinuclear/multidimensional solid-state NMR techniques, with in situ synchrotron-based techniques, to study the prototype conversion material RuO2. The experiments, together with theoretical calculations, show that a major contribution to the extra capacity in this system is due to the generation of LiOH and its subsequent reversible reaction with Li to form Li2O and LiH. The research demonstrates a protocol for studying the structure and spatial proximities of nanostructures formed in this system, including the amorphous solid electrolyte interphase that grows on battery electrodes.

DE ATLAS upgrade; Pixel detectors; 3D pixels; Radiation hardness; High
energy physics
AB Pixel detectors with cylindrical electrodes that penetrate the silicon substrate (so called 3D detectors) offer advantages over standard planar sensors in terms of radiation hardness, since the electrode distance is decoupled from the bulk thickness. In recent years significant progress has been made in the development of 3D sensors, which culminated in the sensor production for the ATLAS Insertable B-Layer (IBL) upgrade carried out at CNM (Barcelona, Spain) and FBK (Trento, Italy). Based on thin success, the ATLAS Forward Physics (APP) experiment has selected the 3D pixel sensor technology for the tracking detector. The APP project presents a new challenge due to the need for a reduced dead area with respect to IBL, and the in-homogeneous nature of the radiation dose distribution in the sensor. Electrical characterization of the first AFP prototypes and beam test studies of 3D pixel devices irradiated non-uniformly are presented in this paper. (C) 2013 Elsevier By. All rights reserved,

AB Recent experiments on silicon detectors developed by the CERN-RD50 collaboration for very high luminosity colliders showed a significant enhancement of the collected charge Q(C) in Si detectors irradiated to the fluence of 10(15)-10(16) n(eq)/cm(2) if the devices were operated at high bias voltage. The enhancement arises from carrier avalanche multiplication in high electric field of the junction. However, calculated and experimental results indicated that a maximum Q enhancement is much lower than the signal gain in avalanche photodiodes. The study of the collected charge in Si n-on-p strip detectors described here is focused on the restriction of the internal gain in irradiated Si strip detectors, It is demonstrated that (1) the gain in the collected charge clue to avalanche multiplication is strongly restricted by the negative feedback arisen from a space charge limited current (SCLC negative feedback), which is an inherent property of heavily irradiated Si detectors with high concentration of radiationinduced defects; (2) the dependence of the gain on fluence is nonmonotonous clue to competition between enhanced carrier trapping at high fluence and avalanche multiplication, which correlates with recent experimental results; (3) SCLC negative feedback makes the internal gain practically insensitive to the design of the detector region with high electric field. The results of this study show that the avalanche multiplication effect can be efficient in improving the radiation performance of Si detectors developed for the sLHC in a limited fluence range, which luckily covers the range expected in the upgraded LHC experiments.

DE Silicon drift detector (SDD); Spiral SDD; Concentric SDD; SDD optimum
design; Minimum drift time; Constant drift field
AB The one-dimensional design consideration for the spiral (cylindrical geometry) Si drift detector (SDD) described in literature [1,2] has been modified and generalized also for small drift distance (R) compatible to the detector thickness (d), i.e. for R d, and for non-uniform backside biasing situations. With smaller R. an array of SDD with small pixel size down to a few hundreds of microns will be possible. Also, by applying a non-uniform biasing voltage with a gradient similar (proportional) to the front side, one can increase the reach-through voltage, resulting in a large drift field for carriers. This can be important for large R (> 3 mm), or For high resistivity Si substrates (8 k Omega cm). In the modeling, the one-dimensional solution to solve the electric potential and drift field, as well as the spiral design have been modified and generalized for all cases. The previous solution in the literature is an approximation of this work for Rd. (C) 2013 Elsevier RV. All rights reserved.

TI ASSESSMENT OF THE FINGERPRINTING METHOD FOR THE VERIFICATION OF SPENT
FUEL IN MACSTOR KN-400 CANDU SPENT-FUEL DRY STORAGE
SO NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGY
LA English
DT Article
DE spent-fuel dry storage; MACSTOR KN-400; CANDU reactor
AB Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power has built a new modular type of CANDU spent fuel bundle dry storage facility, MACSTOR KN-400, at the Wolsong reactor site in the Republic of Korea. Four CANDU reactors operate at the Wolsong site, and the MACSTOR KN-400 has the capacity to store up to 24 000 CANDU spent fuel bundles. The International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards regulations demand an effective method for spent-fuel re-verification at the MACSTOR KN-400 facility in the event of any loss of continuity of knowledge. A radiation signal dependent spent-fuel re-verification design of the MACSTOR KN-400 is scrutinized through mathematical model development and Monte Carlo radiation transport simulations using the state-of-the-art computer code MCNP. Both gamma and neutron transport simulations for various spent fuel bundle diversion scenarios are carried out for the central and corner re-verification tube structures. The CANDU spent fuel bundles with a burnup of 7500 MWd/tonne U (burned at a specific power of 28.39 MW/tonne) and 10 years of cooling time are considered for the radiation source term. Results of the gamma transport simulations incorporating cadmium-zinc-telluride detectors inside the reverification tube show that spent fuel bundles diverted from the inner locations of the storage basket cannot be detected by observing a gamma radiation signal change. Neutron transport simulations consisting of a He-3 detector inside the re-verification tube show that certain spent fuel bundle diversions could be detected. However, inverse MCNP neutron transport simulations show that the possibility of detecting diversion of similar to 67% of spent fuel bundles stored in the basket region on the opposite side from the collimator of the re-verification tube is small, assuming a neutron detection counting time of 1 h per re-verification tube. It is also observed that the nondetection probability for most of the diversion scenarios considered is large. Nondetection probability here is defined as the probability of not detecting the diversion of spent fuel bundles from the baskets by observing radiation signal reduction from the removal of the bundles. Containment and surveillance methods are being employed for safeguards purposes at the facility, supplemented by periodic axial profile fingerprinting. However, since the nondetection probability is large for most scenarios, the facility should consider alternatives to this method in case loss of continuity of knowledge occurs.

DE Inverted organic solar cells; CsI Interlayer; X-ray fluorescence;
Inductively coupled plasma mass; spectrometry; Laser ablation
AB X-ray near-total-reflection fluorescence reveals that in multilayers of the inverted organic solar cell (ITO/CsI/P3HT:PCBM-based) Cs diffuses into the organic layer and iodide diffuses into the ITO. Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry measurements, which integrate elemental concentration across the whole multilayer structure, indicate that the Cs:I ratio remains 1:1 confirming there is no loss of iodine from the sample. Iodide diffusion to the bulk ITO layer is also found in a similarly prepared ITO/NaI/P3HT:PCBM multilayer structure. Our results are consistent with recent XPS measurements which show that the Cs:I ratio at the ITO/CsI surface exceeds 8:1, and rationalize this observation. Published by Elsevier B. V.

AB To promote a greater understanding of the process and nature of metal passivation, we have performed a first-principles analysis of partially oxidized Ni(111) and Ni(311) surface and ultra-thin film NiO layers on Ni(111). We have adopted a bimodal theoretical strategy that considers the oxidation process using either a fixed generalized gradient approximation (GGA) functional for the description of all atoms in the system, or a perturbation approach, that perturbs the electronic structure of various Ni atoms in contact with oxygen by application of the GGA+U technique. This strategy allows us to assess the relative merits of the two approaches, and whether or not the two approaches are at variance with one another as concerns the process of metal passivation. We consider oxygen binding in the cases of isolated atomic adsorption, the development of an oxygen monolayer, and epitaxial NiO(111) monolayers and bilayers with various terminations. Selective application of GGA+U drives structural and charge-transfer processes at the interface, in particular, the octopolar reconstruction of high oxygen coverage pre-passive systems, which, in fact, template an epitaxial NiO(111)-oriented film. These outputs are observable through the development of cationic states in the nickel atoms at the interface, the emergence of a band gap in the projected density of states and in oxygen binding energies that approach the energy of oxide formation.

AB Due to its polarity, {10 (1) over bar2} twinning in strongly textured hexagonal close packed (HCP) structures can be maximized or minimized under particular loading conditions. The resulting anisotropy can be dramatically demonstrated for magnesium with a [0 0 0 1] fibre, for example. The stress-strain behaviour from compression loading parallel to the fibre produces a 'parabolic' stress-strain curve, but a 'sigmoidal' curve when loaded normal to the fibre. When modelling anisotropy in HCP structures with crystal plasticity, contemporary researchers usually fit hardening parameters to only these two extreme cases, i.e., maximized or minimized twinning activity, presuming that the same parameters would interpolate the correct behaviour under any other transitional stress direction. A comparison with experiments presented in this paper demonstrates that this assumption is not fully accurate, whether using the phenomenological Voce hardening model or the dislocation density based hardening model in the VPSC (visco-plastic self-consistent) framework. This indicates that slip-twin interactions are not properly captured in these models. Through a simple phenomenological implementation, we show that dislocation transmutation by twinning is an important aspect of slip-twin interactions that improve the predictability of the above crystal plasticity models for HCP structures.

AB Twenty-six (Pb0.95Sn0.05Te)(0.92)(PbS)(0.08-0).055% PbI2-SiC nanoparticle (SiCnp) composite thermoelectric specimens were either hot pressed or pulsed electric current sintered (PECS). Bloating (a thermally induced increase in porosity, P, for as-densified specimens) was observed during annealing at temperatures >603K for hot-pressed specimens and PECS-processed specimens from wet milled powders, but in contrast seven out of seven specimens densified by PECS from dry milled powders showed no observable bloating following annealing at temperatures up to 936K. In this study, bloating in the specimens was accessed via thermal annealing induced changes in (i) porosity measured by scanning electron microscopy on fractured specimen surfaces, (ii) specimen volume and (iii) elastic moduli. The moduli were measured by resonant ultrasound spectroscopy. SiCnp additions (1-3.5 vol.%) changed the fracture mode from intergranular to transgranular, inhibited grain growth, and limited bloating in the wet milled PECS specimens. Inhibition of bloating likely occurs due to cleaning of contamination from powder particle surfaces via PECS processing which has been reported previously in the literature.

AB When choosing a best solution based on simultaneously balancing multiple objectives, the Pareto front approach allows promising solutions across the spectrum of user preferences for the weightings of the objectives to be identified and compared quantitatively. The shape of the complete Pareto front provides useful information about the amount of trade-off between the different criteria and how much compromise is needed from some criterion to improve the others. Visualizing the Pareto front in higher (3 or more) dimensions becomes difficult, so a numerical measure of this relationship helps capture the degree of trade-off. The traditional hypervolume quality indicator based on subjective scaling for multiple criteria optimization method comparison provides an arbitrary value that lacks direct interpretability. This paper proposes an interpretable summary for quantifying the nature of the relationship between criteria with a standardized hypervolume under the Pareto front (HVUPF) for a flexible number of optimization criteria, and demonstrates how this single number summary can be used to evaluate and compare the efficiency of different search methods as well as tracking the search progress in populating the complete Pareto front. A new HVUPF growth plot is developed for quantifying the performance of a search method on completeness, efficiency, as well as variability associated with the use of random starts, and offers an effective approach for method assessment and comparison. Two new enhancements for the algorithm to populate the Pareto front are described and compared with the HVUPF growth plot. The methodology is illustrated with an optimal screening design example, where new Pareto search methods are proposed to improve computational efficiency, but is broadly applicable to other multiple criteria optimization problems.

AB In this review we discuss recent research on driving self-assembly of magnetic particle suspensions subjected to alternating magnetic fields. The variety of structures and effects that can be induced in such systems is remarkably broad due to the large number of variables involved. The alternating field can be uniaxial, biaxial or triaxial, the particles can be spherical or anisometric, and the suspension can be dispersed throughout a volume or confined to a soft interface. In the simplest case the field drives the static or quasistatic assembly of unusual particle structures, such as sheets, networks and open-cell foams. More complex, emergent collective behaviors evolve in systems that can follow the time-dependent field vector. In these cases energy is continuously injected into the system and striking flow patterns and structures can arise. In fluid volumes these include the formation of advection and vortex lattices. At air-liquid and liquid-liquid interfaces striking dynamic particle assemblies emerge due to the particle-mediated coupling of the applied field to surface excitations. These out-of-equilibrium interface assemblies exhibit a number of remarkable phenomena, including self-propulsion and surface mixing. In addition to discussing various methods of driven self-assembly in magnetic suspensions, some of the remarkable properties of these novel materials are described.

AB Optical triggering of high-voltage (18 kV-class) 4H-SiC thyristors with a single amplification step (pilot thyristor) is reported. It is demonstrated that the switch-on processes in such high-voltage structures are quite different from the switch-on processes in 12 kV 4H-SiC thyristors. In particular, the switch-on process occurs in two stages even at maximum light pulse energy and rather high anode biases.

AB Many techniques such as the acid hydrolysis-incubation (AHI) method have been developed with the aim of elucidating the inherent complexity of soil organic carbon (SOC). While the utility of the AHI method has been demonstrated, there is no standardized protocol developed for conducting the long-term incubation component of the method. In the current study we evaluated the effects of chamber venting and mechanical headspace mixing on soil CO2 flux rates and the resultant size and mean residence time of three operationally defined pools of SOC obtained via the AHI method. Continuous chamber venting resulted in an estimate of the readily mineralized carbon pool that was 2.3 times larger and turned over 2.9 times slower than the same pool estimated using periodically vented chambers. These differences were primarily attributed to the suppression of CO2 flux in periodically vented chambers as a result of high internal CO2 concentrations, and a concomitantly reduced diffusivity gradient. Prior to venting the periodically-vented chambers, CO2 flux rates averaged 2.3 mu g C (g d(-1), while CO2 flux rates following venting averaged 222.6 mu g C (g soil)(-1) d(-1). We did not detect internal stratification of CO2 suggesting that mechanical headspace mixing is unnecessary in incubation chambers ranging from 1 to 2 L. A standardized protocol is called for that isolates SOC fractions that are useful in hypothesis testing, while simultaneously seeking to minimize laboratory artifacts. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

AB Recent studies of thin-film CdS/CdTe photovoltaic (PV) devices have suggested that a significantly higher device performance will not be achieved unless recombination in the CdTe is reduced. Although some control of CdTe recombination has been achieved historically through the careful incorporation of oxygen, chlorine, and copper, we believe a more promising avenue to higher device performance is by controlling the defects in the as-deposited CdTe. This is supported by theoretical studies that suggest much of the improvement associated with oxygen, chlorine, and copper is due to the interaction of these species with intrinsic defects related to cadmium and tellurium vacancies, interstitials, and anti-sites in the bulk as well as within the grain boundary regions. Several research projects at NREL are currently focused on altering CdTe deposition and post-deposition processes to allow for enhanced control of the as-deposited intrinsic defects. This paper discusses initial results in which process changes expected to alter the as-deposited defects are also observed to affect junction evolution and device functionality.

For x D 0 and 0.10, external pressure results in a decease of the SDW/CDW transition temperature T-c; however, no measurable change is observed for the x = 0.15. The pressure effect on the superconducting transition temperature is different for all three samples. For BaTi2Sb2O (x = 0), T-c increases significantly from 1.2 K at zero pressure to similar to 2.9 K at 16.1 kbar. The 10% Na-doped sample shows an initial Tc increase up to 4.2 K with pressure which saturates at higher pressure values. For higher Na concentrations (x = 0.15), Tc continuously decreases with increasing pressure.

AB We discuss the angular momentum blockade in small d-wave superconducting grains in an external field. We find that abrupt changes in the angular momentum state of the condensate, angular momentum blockade, occur as a result of changes in the angular momentum of the condensate in an external magnetic field. The effect represents a direct analogy with the Coulomb blockade. We use the Ginzburg-Landau formalism to illustrate how a magnetic field induces a deviation from the d-wave symmetry which is described by a (d(x2-y2)+id(xy))-order parameter. We derive the behavior of the volume magnetic susceptibility as a function of the magnetic field, and corresponding magnetization jumps at critical values of the field that should be experimentally observable in superconducting grains.

AB Microfabricated devices designed to provide phase contrast in the transmission electron microscope must be free of phase distortions caused by unexpected electrostatic effects. We find that such phase distortions occur even when a device is heated to 300 degrees C during use in order to avoid the formation of polymerized, carbonaceous contamination. Remaining factors that could cause unwanted phase distortions include patchy variations in the work function of a clean metal surface, radiation-induced formation of a localized oxide layer, and creation of a contact potential between an irradiated area and the surround due to radiation-induced structural changes. We show that coating a microfabricated device with evaporated carbon apparently eliminates the problem of patchy variation in the work function. Furthermore, we show that a carbon-coated titanium device is superior to a carbon-coated gold device, with respect to radiation-induced electrostatic effects. A carbon-coated, hybrid double-sideband/single-sideband aperture is used to record in-focus, cryo-EM images of monolayer crystals of streptavidin. Images showing no systematic phase error due to charging are achievable under conditions of lowdose data collection. The contrast in such in-focus images is sufficient that one can readily see individual streptavidin tetramer molecules. Nevertheless, these carbon-coated devices perform well for only a limited length of time, and the cause of failure is not yet understood. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

A technique for virtual fluid- stage high- angle annular dark- field scanning transmission electron microscopy with the multislice method is presented that enables the virtual imaging of model fluid- stage systems composed of millions of atoms. The virtual technique is exemplified by simulating images of PbS nanoparticles under different imaging conditions and the results agree with previous experimental findings. General insight is obtained on the influence of the effects of fluid path length, membrane thickness, nanoparticle position, defocus and other microscope parameters on attainable image quality.

prediction of permeability

AB Although the impact of subsurface geochemical reactions on porosity is relatively well understood, changes in permeability remain difficult to estimate. In this work, pore-network modeling was used to predict permeability based on pore- and pore-throat size distributions determined from analysis of 2D scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of thin sections and 3D X-ray computed microtomography (CMT) data. The analyzed specimens were a Viking sandstone sample from the Alberta sedimentary basin and an experimental column of reacted Hanford sediments. For the column, a decrease in permeability due to mineral precipitation was estimated, but the permeability estimates were dependent on imaging technique and resolution. X-ray CT imaging has the advantage of reconstructing a 3D pore network while 2D SEM imaging can easily analyze sub-grain and intragranular variations in mineralogy. Pore network models informed by analyses of 2D and 3D images at comparable resolutions produced permeability estimates with relatively good agreement. Large discrepancies in predicted permeabilities resulted from small variations in image resolution. Images with resolutions 0.4 to 4 mu m predicted permeabilities differing by orders of magnitude. While lower-resolution scans can analyze larger specimens, small pore throats may be missed due to resolution limitations, which in turn overestimates permeability in a pore-network model in which pore-to-pore conductances are statistically assigned. Conversely, high-resolution scans are capable of capturing small pore throats, but if they are not actually flow-conducting predicted permeabilities will be below expected values. In addition, permeability is underestimated due to misinterpreting surface-roughness features as small pore throats. Comparison of permeability predictions with expected and measured permeability values showed that the largest discrepancies resulted from the highest resolution images and the best predictions of permeability will result from images between 2 and 4 mu m resolution. To reduce permeability underestimation from analyses of high-resolution images, a resolution threshold between 3 and 15 mu m was found to be effective, but it is not known whether this range is applicable beyond the samples studied here.

AB We have determined the structure and coordination chemistry of rhizoferrin (Rf), which is a particular type of siderophore, and its Fe(III) complexes using density functional theory calculations. Our results show that the Fe(III) ion binds in an octahedral coordination, with a low-spin (S = 1/2) charge-neutral chiral complex having the largest binding energy of the investigated complexes. We have also calculated nuclear magnetic resonance parameters, such as chemical shifts for H-1 and C-13, and indirect nuclear spin-spin couplings for H-1-H-1 and C-13-H-1 in free Rf and in a low-spin neutral Rf metal complex, as well as nuclear quadrupole interaction parameters, such as asymmetry parameter and nuclear quadrupole coupling constants for N-14. Our calculated values for the chemical shifts for free Rf are in excellent agreement with experimental data while the calculated NMR parameters for Fe(III) complexes are predictions for future experimental work.

AB Inorganic salts are a natural component of biomass which have a significant effect on the product yields from a variety of biomass conversion processes. Understanding their effect on biomass at the microscopic level can help discover their mechanistic role. We present a study of the effect of aqueous sodium chloride on the largest component of biomass, cellulose, focused on the thermodynamic and structural effect of a sodium ion on the cellotetraose molecule and the cellulose fibril. Replica exchange molecular dynamics simulations of a cellotetraose molecule reveal a number of preferred cellulose-Na contacts and bridging positions. Large scale MD simulations on a model cellulose fibril find that Na+ perturbs the hydroxymethyl rotational state population and consequently disrupts the 'native' hydrogen bonding network.

AB The highly crystalline beta-chitin from diatom Thalassiosira weissflogii was esterified via intercalation with succinic anhydride followed by simple heating, maintaining the original crystalline order. Due to the introduced free carboxyl groups, the chitin ester crystal showed ion exchange ability for metal cations in aq. solution. Heavy metal cations such as Pb2+ bound to the beta-chitin succinate gave characteristic X-ray diffraction patterns, indicating regular alignment of metal ions. Such materials represent a new type of organometallic architecture, possibly leading to novel functionalities.

AB Rapid increases in high performance computing are feeding the development of larger and more complex data sets in climate research, which sets the stage for so-called "big data" analysis challenges. However, conventional climate analysis techniques are inadequate in dealing with the complexities of today's data. In this paper, we describe and demonstrate a visual analytics system, called the Exploratory Data analysis ENvironment (EDEN), with specific application to the analysis of complex earth system simulation data sets. EDEN represents the type of interactive visual analysis tools that are necessary to transform data into insight, thereby improving critical comprehension of earth system processes. In addition to providing an overview of EDEN, we describe real-world studies using both point ensembles and global Community Land Model Version 4 (CLM4) simulations. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

AB Hybrid parallel programming with the message passing interface (MPI) for internode communication in conjunction with a shared-memory programming model to manage intranode parallelism has become a dominant approach to scalable parallel programming. While this model provides a great deal of flexibility and performance potential, it saddles programmers with the complexity of utilizing two parallel programming systems in the same application. We introduce an MPI-integrated shared-memory programming model that is incorporated into MPI through a small extension to the one-sided communication interface. We discuss the integration of this interface with the MPI 3.0 one-sided semantics and describe solutions for providing portable and efficient data sharing, atomic operations, and memory consistency. We describe an implementation of the new interface in the MPICH2 and Open MPI implementations and demonstrate an average performance improvement of 40 % to the communication component of a five-point stencil solver.

AB Monochloramine is an increasingly used drinking water disinfectant and has been shown to increase nitrifying bacteria and mycobacteria in drinking waters. The potential successions and development of these bacteria were examined by 16S rRNA gene clone libraries generated from various biofilms within a water distribution system simulator. Biofilms were obtained from in-line and off-line devices using borosilicate glass beads, along with polycarbonate coupons from annular reactors incubated for up to 8months in monochloramine-treated drinking water. No significant difference in community structures was observed between biofilm devices and coupon material; however, all biofilm communities that developed on different devices underwent similar successions over time. Early stages of biofilm formation were dominated by Serratia (29%), Cloacibacterium (23%), Diaphorobacter (16%), and Pseudomonas (7%), while Mycobacterium-like phylotypes were the most predominant populations (>27%) in subsequent months. The development of members of the nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) after 3months may impact individuals with predisposing conditions, while nitrifiers (related to Nitrospira moscoviensis and Nitrosospira multiformis) could impact water quality. Overall, 90% of the diversity in all the clone library samples was associated with the phyla Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Bacteroidetes. These results provide an ecological insight into biofilm bacterial successions in monochloramine-treated drinking water.

AB Hydraulic fracturing for natural gas extraction from shale produces waste brine known as flowback that is impounded at the surface prior to reuse and/or disposal. During impoundment, microbial activity can alter the fate of metals including radionuclides, give rise to odorous compounds, and result in biocorrosion that complicates water and waste management and increases production costs. Here, we describe the microbial ecology at multiple depths of three flowback impoundments from the Marcellus shale that were managed differently. 16S rRNA gene clone libraries revealed that bacterial communities in the untreated and biocide-amended impoundments were depth dependent, diverse, and most similar to species within the taxa -proteobacteria, -proteobacteria, -proteobacteria, Clostridia, Synergistetes, Thermotogae, Spirochetes, and Bacteroidetes. The bacterial community in the pretreated and aerated impoundment was uniform with depth, less diverse, and most similar to known iodide-oxidizing bacteria in the -proteobacteria. Archaea were identified only in the untreated and biocide-amended impoundments and were affiliated to the Methanomicrobia class. This is the first study of microbial communities in flowback water impoundments from hydraulic fracturing. The findings expand our knowledge of microbial diversity of an emergent and unexplored environment and may guide the management of flowback impoundments.

AB We analyze the analytic structure of the Covariant Spectator Theory (CST) contribution to the self-energy amplitude for a scalar particle in a theory. To this end we derive dispersion relations in 1+1 and in 3+1 dimensional Minkowski space. The divergent loop integrals in 3+1 dimensions are regularized using dimensional regularization. We find that the CST dispersion relations exhibit, in addition to the usual right-hand branch cut, also a left-hand cut. The origin of this "spectator" left-hand cut can be understood in the context of scattering for a scalar -type theory. If the interaction kernel contains a linear confining component, its contribution to the self-energy vanishes exactly.

DT Article
ID 3-NUCLEON SYSTEM
AB The Reid93 potential provides a representation of the nucleon-nucleon (NN) scattering data that rivals that of a partial wave analysis. We present here a unitary pole approximation (UPA) for this contemporary NN potential that provides a rank one separable potential for which the wave function of the deuteron (S-3(1)-D-3(1)) and singlet anti-bound (S-1(0)) state are exactly those of the original potential. Our motivation is to use this UPA potential to investigate the sensitivity of the electric dipole moment for the deuteron and H-3 and He-3 to the ground state nuclear wave function. We compare the Reid93 results with those for the original Reid (Reid68) potential to illustrate the accuracy of the bound state properties.

AB Heterozygous loss-of-function coding-sequence mutations of the transcription factor SOX9 cause campomelic dysplasia, a rare skeletal dysplasia with congenital bowing of long bones (campomelia), hypoplastic scapulae, a missing pair of ribs, pelvic, and vertebral malformations, clubbed feet, Pierre Robin sequence (PRS), facial dysmorphia, and disorders of sex development. We report here two unrelated families that include patients with isolated PRS, isolated congenital heart defect (CHD), or both anomalies. Patients from both families carried a very similar approximate to 1Mb deletion upstream of SOX9. Analysis of ChIP-Seq from mouse cardiac tissue for H3K27ac, a marker of active regulatory elements, led us to identify several putative cardiac enhancers within the deleted region. One of these elements is known to interact with Nkx2.5 and Gata4, two transcription factors responsible for CHDs. Altogether, these data suggest that disruption of cardiac enhancers located upstream of SOX9 may be responsible for CHDs in humans. (C) 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

ID SMALL-ANGLE SCATTERING; HOLLOW SILICA; TEMPLATE; COLLOIDS; SYSTEMS
AB The single-particle small-angle scattering properties of the yolk-shell particle, a new type of core-shell particle with a mobile core within the hosting shell, are systematically investigated. The Debye spatial autocorrelation function, pair distance distribution function and intraparticle structure factor (form factor) are calculated and compared with the corresponding scattering functions of reference systems of hard sphere and concentric core-shell particles with identical sizes. On the basis of these theoretical calculations, it is found that the broken centrosymmetry, originating from the mobility of the trapped yolk, results in an imaginary scattering amplitude. As a result, it contributes an additional destructive interference term which smears certain features present in the scattering functions of the reference systems. These theoretical models raise the prospect of jointly using small-angle neutron and X-ray scattering techniques to quantitatively determine the structural characteristics of yolk-shell particles.

AB Two new approaches to quantitatively analyze diffuse diffraction intensities from faulted layer stacking are reported. The parameters of a probability-based growth model are determined with two iterative global optimization methods: a genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO). The results are compared with those from a third global optimization method, a differential evolution (DE) algorithm [Storn & Price (1997). J. Global Optim. 11, 341-359]. The algorithm efficiencies in the early and late stages of iteration are compared. The accuracy of the optimized parameters improves with increasing size of the simulated crystal volume. The wall clock time for computing quite large crystal volumes can be kept within reasonable limits by the parallel calculation of many crystals (clones) generated for each model parameter set on a super- or grid computer. The faulted layer stacking in single crystals of trigonal three-pointed-star-shaped tris(bicylco[2.1.1]hexeno)benzene molecules serves as an example for the numerical computations. Based on numerical values of seven model parameters (reference parameters), nearly noise-free reference intensities of 14 diffuse streaks were simulated from 1280 clones, each consisting of 96 000 layers (reference crystal). The parameters derived from the reference intensities with GA, PSO and DE were compared with the original reference parameters as a function of the simulated total crystal volume. The statistical distribution of structural motifs in the simulated crystals is in good agreement with that in the reference crystal. The results found with the growth model for layer stacking disorder are applicable to other disorder types and modeling techniques, Monte Carlo in particular.

AB Advances in instrumentation allow a material texture to be measured as a collection of spatially resolved crystallite orientations rather than as a collection of pole figures. However, the hyperspherical harmonic expansion of a collection of spatially resolved crystallite orientations is subject to significant truncation error, resulting in ringing artifacts (spurious oscillations around sharp transitions) and false peaks in the orientation distribution function. This article finds that the ringing artifacts and the accompanying regions of negative probability density may be mitigated or removed entirely by modifying the coefficients of the hyperspherical harmonic expansion by a simple multiplicative factor. An addition theorem for the hyperspherical harmonics is derived as an intermediate result.

AB Neutron reflectometry has been combined with rheology in order to investigate the solid boundary of liquids and polymers under shear deformation. This approach allows one to apply a controlled stress to a material while resolving the structural arrangements on the sub-nanometre length scale with neutron reflectivity, off-specular scattering and small-angle scattering at the same time. The specularly reflected neutron intensity of a 20% by weight solution of Pluronic F127 in deuterated water in contact with an octadecyl trichlorosilane-covered and a piranha-treated silicon wafer is evaluated. A pronounced difference is found in the structure formed by the polymer micelles at the two surfaces, which is explained by the difference in the affinity of the micellar shell to the solid interfaces. Under deformation, the near interface structure changes at deformations of about 2, 30 and 900%. The structural changes are correlated with changes in the storage and loss modulus of the polymer solution, revealing a transition from more solid to more liquid like properties.

ID TETRAGONAL PHASE; CUMNAS
AB Determining atomic positions in thin films by X-ray diffraction is, at present, a task reserved for synchrotron facilities. Here an experimental method is presented which enables the determination of the structure factor amplitudes of thin films using laboratory-based equipment (Cu K alpha radiation). This method was tested using an epitaxial 130 nm film of CuMnAs grown on top of a GaAs substrate, which unlike the orthorhombic bulk phase forms a crystal structure with tetragonal symmetry. From the set of structure factor moduli obtained by applying this method, the solution and refinement of the crystal structure of the film has been possible. The results are supported by consistent high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy and stoichiometry analyses.

AB This article describes the development of a flexible grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS) simulation code in the framework of the distorted wave Born approximation that effectively utilizes the parallel processing power provided by graphics processors and multicore processors. The code, entitled High-Performance GISAXS, computes the GISAXS image for any given superposition of user-defined custom shapes or morphologies in a material and for various grazing-incidence angles and sample orientations. These capabilities permit treatment of a wide range of possible sample structures, including multilayered polymer films and nanoparticles on top of or embedded in a substrate or polymer film layers. In cases where the material displays regions of significant refractive index contrast, an algorithm has been implemented to perform a slicing of the sample and compute the averaged refractive index profile to be used as the reference geometry of the unperturbed system. A number of case studies are presented, which demonstrate good agreement with the experimental data for a variety of polymer and hybrid polymer/nanoparticle composite materials. The parallelized simulation code is well suited for addressing the analysis efforts required by the increasing amounts of GISAXS data being produced by high-speed detectors and ultrafast light sources.

AB The white-beam Laue diffraction experiment is an attractive alternative to the more conventional monochromatic one for single-crystal structure analysis, because it takes full advantage of the X-ray energy spectrum of a synchrotron source and requires no rotation of the crystal in the beam. Therefore, it could be used for structural characterizations under in situ or operando conditions. The potential of Laue diffraction was recognized and exploited by the protein community many years ago, and the methodology, which involved positioning and rotating the crystal in the beam, has been successfully applied to the determination of both protein and small-molecule crystal structures. Here, it is proposed that the specificities of Laue diffraction are exploited to study randomly oriented stationary microcrystals of inorganic materials. In order to determine the best strategy for collecting a reasonable quantity of data from stationary crystals, a series of simulations on four model structures for three experimental setups have been performed. It is shown that the structures of the four samples can be solved with the dual-space method in SHELX, even though the data sets are highly incomplete and much of the low-resolution part is missing. The experimental setup and data collection strategy for measuring such microcrystals have been developed on BL12.3.2 at the Advanced Light Source in Berkeley. The intensities of reflections with one and two harmonics can be extracted reliably by exploiting the tunable low-energy threshold of a Pilatus detector. In this way, the number of usable reflections can be increased from 75 to 95%. Such Laue microdiffraction data have been measured and used successfully to refine the structures of the model samples.

AB Observations of robust scaling behavior in clouds and precipitation are used to derive constraints on how partitioning of precipitation should change with model resolution. Analysis indicates that 90%-99% of stratiform precipitation should occur in clouds that are resolvable by contemporary climate models (e.g., with 200-km or finer grid spacing). Furthermore, this resolved fraction of stratiform precipitation should increase sharply with resolution, such that effectively all stratiform precipitation should be resolvable above scales of similar to 50 km. It is shown that the Community Atmosphere Model (CAM) and the Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF) also exhibit the robust cloud and precipitation scaling behavior that is present in observations, yet the resolved fraction of stratiform precipitation actually decreases with increasing model resolution. A suite of experiments with multiple dynamical cores provides strong evidence that this scale-incognizant behavior originates in one of the CAM4 parameterizations. An additional set of sensitivity experiments rules out both convection parameterizations, and by a process of elimination these results implicate the stratiform cloud and precipitation parameterization. Tests with the CAM5 physics package show improvements in the resolution dependence of resolved cloud fraction and resolved stratiform precipitation fraction.

AB In this study, the authors applied version 4 of the Community Land Model (CLM4) integrated with an uncertainty quantification (UQ) framework to 20 selected watersheds from the Model Parameter Estimation Experiment (MOPEX) spanning a wide range of climate and site conditions to investigate the sensitivity of runoff simulations to major hydrologic parameters and to assess the fidelity of CLM4, as the land component of the Community Earth System Model (CESM), in capturing realistic hydrological responses. They found that for runoff simulations, the most significant parameters are those related to the subsurface runoff parameterizations. Soil texture-related parameters and surface runoff parameters are of secondary significance. Moreover, climate and soil conditions play important roles in the parameter sensitivity. In general, water-limited hydrologic regime and finer soil texture result in stronger sensitivity of output variables, such as runoff and its surface and subsurface components, to the input parameters in CLM4. This study evaluated the parameter identifiability of hydrological parameters from streamflow observations at selected MOPEX basins and demonstrated the feasibility of parameter inversion/calibration for CLM4 to improve runoff simulations. The results suggest that in order to calibrate CLM4 hydrologic parameters, model reduction is needed to include only the identifiable parameters in the unknowns. With the reduced parameter set dimensionality, the inverse problem is less ill posed.

TI On choosing a reference redox system for electrochemical measurements: a
cautionary tale

AB The potential of a quasi-reference electrode can be determined by introducing an internal reference redox system (IRRS) which comprises either the oxidizable or reducible form of a reversible (and, ideally, outer-sphere) redox couple and then observing the cyclic voltammetric responses. The objective is to choose the IRRS so that the cyclic voltammetric response for the simultaneously present electroactive analyte system (ANS) can be observed independently of the IRRS response. We identify three fundamental paradigms describing the relative positioning of the IRRS and ANS on the potential scale, the operative redox components for the IRRS and ANS, and the starting potential (E (start)), reversing potential (E (rev)), and ending potential (E (end)) for the cyclic voltammetric scan as follows: paradigm A, an optimal paradigm which can produce completely independent cyclic voltammetric responses for the IRRS or for ANS; paradigm B, a less-than-optimal paradigm which can produce an independent cyclic voltammetry (CV) response for the ANS or a mixed response for the IRRS with that response on top of the ANS response; paradigm C, a problematic paradigm that can produce an independent CV response for the IRRS or a mixed response for the ANS with that response on top of the IRRS response; and any mixed response produces a thermodynamically favored redox cross-reaction which couples the IRRS and ANS systems and which can complicate the analysis of the ANS and IRRS responses. The conclusion is that paradigm C is to be avoided.

AB The effect of high temperature heat treatments on the deformation behavior of ME21 extrusions was analyzed. Heat treatments at temperatures > 475 degrees C result in significant grain growth with an associated enhancement of the rare earth (RE) texture component and in the growth of Mg12Ce precipitates and manganese containing dispersoids. Additionally, the number density of the dispersoids is decreased drastically. These microstructural changes produce a dramatic increase in the elongation to failure in room-temperature uniaxial compression tests. Thereby, elongations to failure up to 0.7 true strain where observed. The combination of in-situ energy-dispersive synchrotron X-ray diffraction and Elasto-Plastic Self-Consistent (EPSC) modeling shows that the texture modification increases the activity of slip-systems reducing the twin volume fraction. The deformation at high strains is predominantly realized by (c+a)pyramidal and (a)-basal slip. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB The recovery of deformed beryllium was studied with mechanical testing and in situ neutron diffraction measurements. The initial texture of the material and the deformation rate were manipulated to produce four distinct deformation microstructures. The dislocation density was determined from line profile analysis of the neutron diffraction data collected as a function of temperature during annealing to a maximum homologous temperature of 0.53 following deformation. Mechanical testing was completed after the in situ annealing to determine the extent of the recovery of the flow stress. Both the dislocation density and flow stress recovered significantly by a relatively low homologous temperature of 0.3. A comparison with model calculations using a dislocation-based hardening law indicates that it is forest-type dislocations that annihilate during the relatively low temperature anneal; the dislocation substructure was stable at these temperatures. Finally, the motion of the dislocations during annealing prevented the development of intergranular thermal stresses due to the crystallographically anisotropic thermal expansion of beryllium.

AB The strength-normalized fatigue endurance strength of the bulk metallic glass (BMG) Zr52.5Cu17.9Ni14.6Al10Ti5 (Vitreloy 105) has been reported to be the highest for any BMG; however, to date, there has been no explanation of why this material is so much better than other Zr-based compositions. In this study, the fatigue-crack growth behavior of Zr52.5Cu17.9Ni14.6Al10Ti5 was compared in ambient air vs dry nitrogen environment. The excellent fatigue life behavior is attributed to a relatively high fatigue threshold (Delta K (TH) a parts per thousand 2 MPaaem) and a lack of sensitivity to environmental effects on fatigue-crack growth in ambient air, as compared to other Zr-based BMGs. Fatigue life experiments conducted in ambient air confirmed the excellent fatigue life properties with a 10(7)-cycle endurance strength of similar to 0.24 of the ultimate tensile strength; however, it was also found that casting porosity, even in limited amounts, could reduce this endurance strength by as much as similar to 60 pct. Overall, the BMG Zr52.5Cu17.9Ni14.6Al10Ti5 appears to have excellent strength and fatigue properties and should be considered as a prime candidate material for future applications where good mechanical fatigue resistance is required.

AB Chemistry occurring in the liquid and liquid surface is important in many applications. Chemical imaging of liquids using vacuum-based analytical techniques is challenging due to the difficulty in working with liquids with high volatility. Recent development in microfluidics enabled and increased our capabilities to study liquid in situ using sensitive techniques such as electron microscopy and spectroscopy. Due to its small size, low cost, and flexibility in design, liquid cells based on microfluidics have been increasingly used in studying and imaging complex phenomena involving liquids. This paper presents a review of microfluidic cells that were developed to adapt to electron microscopes and various spectrometers for in situ chemical analysis and imaging of liquids. The following topics will be covered, including cell designs, fabrication techniques, unique technical features for vacuum compatible cells (e.g., detection windows, device materials), and imaging with electron microscopy and spectroscopy. Challenges are summarized and recommendations for future development priority are proposed.

TI Scattering rates for leptogenesis: Damping of lepton flavour coherence

SO NUCLEAR PHYSICS B
LA English
DT Article
ID BARYOGENESIS; ASYMMETRIES; MODEL
AB Using the Closed Time Path (CTP) approach, we perform a systematic leading order calculation of the relaxation rate of flavour correlations of left-handed Standard Model leptons. This quantity is of pivotal relevance for flavoured leptogenesis in the Early Universe, and we find it to be 5.19 x 10(-3)T at T = 10(7) GeV and 4.83 x 10(-3)T at T = 10(13) GeV, in substantial agreement with estimates used in previous phenomenological analyses. These values apply to the Standard Model with a Higgs-boson mass of 125 GeV. The dependence of the numerical coefficient on the temperature T is due to the renormalisation group running. The leading linear and logarithmic dependencies of the flavour relaxation rate on the gauge and top-quark couplings are extracted, such that the results presented in this work can readily be applied to extensions of the Standard Model. We also derive the production rate of light (compared to the temperature) sterile right-handed neutrinos, a calculation that relies on the same methods. We confirm most details of earlier results, but find a substantially larger contribution from the t-channel exchange of fermions. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB Oxy-fuel combustion is burning a fuel in oxygen rather than air for ease of capture of CO2 from for reuse or sequestration. Corrosion issues associated with the environment change (replacement of much of the N-2 with CO2 and higher sulfur levels) from air- to oxy-firing were examined. Alloys studied included model Fe-Cr alloys and commercial ferritic steels, austenitic steels, and nickel base superalloys. The corrosion behavior is described in terms of corrosion rates, scale morphologies, and scale/ash interactions for the different environmental conditions. Evidence was found for a threshold for severe attack between 10(-4) and 10(-3) atm of SO3 at 700 A degrees C.

AB For all LBE-cooled systems, the oxygen control technology must be applied for inhibiting corrosion by the liquid metal through formation of protective oxide layers on the structural material surface. The present study focuses on the stability of the protective layer in long-term operations subjected to LBE corrosion. This article, focusing on the modeling development and validation, is the first part of the systematic study. A chemical corrosion model, taking into account the oxide layer removal mechanisms by LBE, is developed. The model is partially validated by available long-term and short-term experimental measurements.

AB Among chlamydial virulence factors are the type III secretion (T3S) system and its effectors. T3S effectors target host proteins to benefit the infecting chlamydiae. The assortment of effectors, each with a unique function, varies between species. This variation likely contributes to differences in host specificity and disease severity. A dozen effectors of Chlamydia trachomatis have been identified; however, estimates suggest that more exist. A T3S prediction algorithm, SVM-based Identification and Evaluation of Virulence Effectors (SIEVE), along with a Yersinia surrogate secretion system helped to identify a new T3S substrate, CT082, which rather than functioning as an effector associates with the chlamydial envelope after secretion. SIEVE was modified to improve/expand effector predictions to include all sequenced genomes. Additional adjustments were made to the existing surrogate system whereby the N terminus of putative effectors was fused to a known effector lacking its own N terminus and was tested for secretion. Expansion of effector predictions by cSIEVE and modification of the surrogate system have also assisted in identifying a new T3S substrate from C.psittaci. The expanded predictions along with modifications to improve the surrogate secretion system have enhanced our ability to identify novel species-specific effectors, which upon characterization should provide insight into the unique pathogenic properties of each species.
The manuscript describes the application of new algorithms for computational discovery of type III secretion substrates in Chlamydiae, a group of pathogenic bacteria with limited experimental tools available for virulence gene discovery.

AB One particularly promising model of electrical properties of conductive nanocomposites involves a combined quantum tunneling/percolation approach. However, two key inputs to the modelthe polymer matrix barrier height and the average gap between conductive filler particlesare difficult to determine experimentally. This article demonstrates improved methods for determining barrier height in polymer materials via conductive nanoindentation, with barrier heights measured between 0.4 and 1.7 eV for five different polymers. By using dielectric spectroscopy techniques, combined with the barrier height measurements, the average junction gap was determined for the first time for nickel-nanostrand nanocomposites with six different polymer matrices; the values range from 1.31 to 3.28 nm. Using those measured values for barrier height and junction gap distances in a simple model, we have tested predictions for bulk resistivity of six polymers. The model worked well for four of the six, which suggests that for a given volume fraction of filler, knowledge of the barrier height and the junction distance may in many cases be sufficient to provide an estimate of the bulk resistivity of the polymer-nanostrand blend, an important parameter in nanocomposite engineering.

AB The effect of ionizing radiation on single cells using a proton source was investigated using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) microspectroscopy. The prostate cancer cells (DU-145) were irradiated by a specific number (50, 200, 400, 2000 and 4000) of protons per cell. Next after fixing the cells with 70% ethanol micro-FTIR spectra were obtained using both: (a) the synchrotron radiation source with a Mercury-Cadmium-Telluride (MCT) detector and (b) a globar source with a focal plane array (FPA) detector. FUR spectra obtained from both instrumental configurations were analyzed independently to investigate the changes in the DNA phosphodiester region (1150-950 cm(-1)) of irradiated and control (untreated by ionizing radiation) cells.
A Principal Component Analysis (PCA) scores plot revealed distinct clusters for all groups of irradiated cells, even for those irradiated by the smallest dose of protons. The dose-dependent changes in the relative intensities of DNA peak at 970 cm(-1) (ribose-phosphate skeletal motions), along with a shift of the O-P-O band corresponding to the symmetric phosphodiester stretching mode at 1090 cm(-1) were observed. The results demonstrate that FTIR spectroscopy is a promising tool to investigate DNA damage in single cells and may become an important tool in assessing cell damage following radiotherapy.

AB Acoustic emissions were used to investigate the evolution of damage and strain localization in Castlegate sandstone specimens subjected to true triaxial states of stress, where the intermediate principal stress ranged from equal to minimum compression to equal to maximum compression. Three failure modes were observed: shear band formation at low mean stresses, compaction localization at intermediate stresses, and no localization at high mean stresses. For shear bands, the onset of localization consistently occurred prior to peak stress, while compaction localization initiated at the beginning of a stress plateau. The band angle (defined as the angle between the band normal and the maximum compression direction) determined by fitting a plane through the localized acoustic emission events corresponded well with the shear band angle expressed on the specimen jacket. As expected, the band angle decreased with increasing mean stress. The theoretically predicted dependence of band angle on deviatoric stress state was not confirmed; however, data scatter due to natural variations in material could obscure such a trend. Each failure mode displayed a unique acoustic emission rate response; therefore, this rate response alone can be used to determine the failure mode and the onset of localization in Castlegate sandstone.

AB Hydroxycarboxylic acid salt (sodium gluconate), sodium lignosulfonate and a combination of carboxylic acid and sulfonate-type retarder (poly(4-styrenesulfonic acid-co-maleic acid) sodium salt) are typical set retarders for oil-well cement. The potential high-temperature alkali degradation of these retarders is assessed, and its role in altering the kinetics of cement hydration at temperatures between 70 and 90 degrees C. The high-temperature alkaline stability of cement set retarders is poorly studied. However, it may represent one way to understand the delay in hydration induced by such additives, and the discontinuity of cement hydration, with the longer setting times at higher temperatures in that range. Degradation products are identified and their thermal stability is evaluated. Retarders containing carboxylic acid become partially fragmented at high pH and 90 degrees C. The effect on cement setting kinetics is similar for hydrolysed retarders containing carboxylic acid groups: the setting times are longer at 80 degrees C than at 70 and 90 degrees C. The sulfonate groups of lignosulfonate-type retarder, treated at pH 13.4, 90 degrees C, are partially converted to sulfate and the ether groups to alkoxides. The setting time changes linearly with temperature for the high-pH-treated lignosulfonate retarder in the studied temperature range.

AB This study investigates bony protrusions within a narrowed periodontal ligament space (PDL-space) of a human bone-PDL-tooth fibrous joint by mapping structural, biochemical, and mechanical heterogeneity. Higher resolution structural characterization was achieved via complementary atomic force microscopy (AFM), nano-transmission X-ray microscopy (nano-TXM), and microtomography (MicroXCT (TM)). Structural heterogeneity was correlated to biochemical and elemental composition, illustrated via histochemistry and microprobe X-ray fluorescence analysis (mu-XRF), and mechanical heterogeneity evaluated by AFM-based nanoindentation. Results demonstrated that the narrowed PDL-space was due to invasion of bundle bone (BB) into PDL-space. Protruded BB had a wider range with higher elastic modulus values (2-8 GPa) compared to lamellar bone (0.8-6 GPa), and increased quantities of Ca, P and Zn as revealed by mu-XRF. Interestingly, the hygroscopic 10-30 mu m interface between protruded BB and lamellar bone exhibited higher X-ray attenuation similar to cement lines and lamellae within bone. Localization of the small leucine rich proteoglycan biglycan (BGN) responsible for mineralization was observed at the PDL-bone interface and around the osteocyte lacunae. Based on these results, it can be argued that the LB-BB interface was the original site of PDL attachment, and that the genesis of protruded BB identified as protrusions occurred as a result of shift in strain. We emphasize the importance of bony protrusions within the context of organ function and that additional study is warranted. Published by Elsevier Inc.

AB We propose a variational procedure for the recovery of internal variables, in effect extending them from integration points to the entire domain. The objective is to perform the recovery with minimum error and at the same time guarantee that the internal variables remain in their admissible spaces. The minimization of the error is achieved by a three-field finite element formulation. The fields in the formulation are the deformation mapping, the target or mapped internal variables and a Lagrange multiplier that enforces the equality between the source and target internal variables. This formulation leads to an projection that minimizes the distance between the source and target internal variables as measured in the norm of the internal variable space. To ensure that the target internal variables remain in their original space, their interpolation is performed by recourse to Lie groups, which allows for direct polynomial interpolation of the corresponding Lie algebras by means of the logarithmic map. Once the Lie algebras are interpolated, the mapped variables are recovered by the exponential map, thus guaranteeing that they remain in the appropriate space.

AB Estimates of vegetation carbon pools and their turnover rates are central to understanding and modelling ecosystem responses to climate change and their feedbacks to climate. In the Arctic, a region containing globally important stores of soil carbon, and where the most rapid climate change is expected over the coming century, plant communities have on average sixfold more biomass below ground than above ground, but knowledge of the root carbon pool sizes and turnover rates is limited. Here, we show that across eight plant communities, there is a significant positive relationship between leaf and fine root turnover rates (r(2)=0.68, P<0.05), and that the turnover rates of both leaf (r(2)=0.63, P<0.05) and fine root (r(2)=0.55, P<0.05) pools are strongly correlated with leaf area index (LAI, leaf area per unit ground area). This coupling of root and leaf dynamics supports the theory of a whole-plant economics spectrum. We also show that the size of the fine root carbon pool initially increases linearly with increasing LAI, and then levels off at LAI=1m(2)m(-2), suggesting a functional balance between investment in leaves and fine roots at the whole community scale. These ecological relationships not only demonstrate close links between above and below-ground plant carbon dynamics but also allow plant carbon pool sizes and their turnover rates to be predicted from the single readily quantifiable (and remotely sensed) parameter of LAI, including the possibility of estimating root data from satellites.

AB As the first step of the communication procedure in 802.11, an unwise selection of the access point (AP) hurts one client's throughput. This performance downgrade is usually hard to be offset by other methods, such as efficient rate adaptations. In this paper, we study this AP selection problem in a decentralized manner, with the objective of maximizing the minimum throughput among all clients. We reveal through theoretical analysis that the selfish strategy, which commonly applies in decentralized systems, cannot effectively achieve this objective. Accordingly, we propose an online AP association strategy that not only achieves a minimum throughput (among all clients) that is provably close to the optimum, but also works effectively in practice with reasonable computation and transmission overhead. The association protocol applying this strategy is implemented on the commercial hardware and compatible with legacy APs without any modification. We demonstrate its feasibility and performance through real experiments and intensive simulations.

AB Limited evidence associates inadequate classroom ventilation rates (VRs) with increased illness absence (IA). We investigated relationships between VRs and IA in California elementary schools over two school years in 162 3rd-5th-grade classrooms in 28 schools in three school districts: South Coast (SC), Bay Area (BA), and Central Valley (CV). We estimated relationships between daily IA and VR (estimated from two year daily real-time carbon dioxide in each classroom) in zero-inflated negative binomial models. We also compared IA benefits and energy costs of increased VRs. All school districts had median VRs below the 7.1l/s-person California standard. For each additional 1l/s-person of VR, IA was reduced significantly (p<0.05) in models for combined districts (-1.6%) and for SC (-1.2%), and nonsignificantly for districts providing less data: BA (-1.5%) and CV (-1.0%). Assuming associations were causal and generalizable, increasing classroom VRs from the California average (4l/s-person) to the State standard would decrease IA by 3.4%, increase attendance-linked funding to schools by $33million annually, and increase costs by only $4million. Further increasing VRs would provide additional benefits. These findings, while requiring confirmation, suggest that increasing classroom VRs above the State standard would substantially decrease illness absence and produce economic benefits.

AB The effect of temperature on the oxidation of NiAl(100) is comparatively studied at 25 degrees C and 300 degrees C using X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy to elucidate the effect of oxide-alloy interfacial reaction on the growth of ultrathin alumina thin films. The oxidation at 25 degrees C results in self-limiting aluminum oxide film growth to a less extent of the limiting thickness regimes with non-stoichiometric oxide films exhibiting a deficiency of Al cations, whereas for the oxidation at 300 degrees C the oxide films grow to a larger limiting thickness with relatively enriched with Al at the limiting thickness. The temperature dependent limiting thickness and composition of the oxide films are ascribed to the transport velocity of Al from deeper layers to the oxide/alloy interface during the oxide growth. For the oxidation at 25 degrees C the oxide film growth depletes Al and forms an underlying Ni-rich interfacial layer that blocks the supply of Al atoms to the oxide/substrate interface, whereas for the oxidation at 300 degrees C the enhanced diffusion rate maintains adequate supply of Al atoms to the oxide/alloy interface to sustain the oxide film growth to the full extent of the limiting thickness.

AB Controlling the molecular structure of the donor-acceptor interface is essential to overcoming the efficiency bottleneck in organic photovoltaics. We present a study of self-assembled fullerene (C-60) molecular chains on perfectly ordered 6,13-dichloropentacene (DCP) monolayers forming on a vicinal Au(788) surface using scanning tunneling microscopy in conjunction with density functional theory calculations. DCP is a novel pentacene derivative optimized for photovoltaic applications. The molecules form a brick-wall patterned centered rectangular lattice with the long axis parallel to the monatomic steps that separate the 3.9 nm wide Au(111) terraces. The strong interaction between the C-60 molecules and the gold substrate is well screened by the DCP monolayer. At submonolayer C-60 coverage, the fullerene molecules form long parallel chains, 1.1 nm apart, with a rectangular arrangement instead of the expected close-packed configuration along the upper step edges. The perfectly ordered DCP structure is unaffected by the C-60 chain formation. The controlled sharp highly-ordered organic interface has the potential to improve the conversion efficiency in organic photovoltaics. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB The oxides that form on metal surfaces are critical to the preservation of the material under oxidizing conditions. For the case of plutonium, oxide film properties may affect a variety of kinetic phenomena related to the corrosion of the material. To investigate the behavior of the metal-oxygen interactions critical to the formation of such passive films, electronic structure calculations were performed on the interactions between O and the delta-Pu(111) surface. By probing the relationship between structure (coordination), charge transfer (valence) and thermodynamics (reactivity), it was found that oxidation is initially a local phenomenon, but, at 1.0 ML oxygen coverage, significant reconstructions that alter the phase structure of the near-surface region are induced. At this high-surface coverage the surface metal atoms are disbonded and the Pu - O coordination becomes four-fold as opposed to three fold. Even at this high coverage, however, the charge state more closely resembles Pu2O3 rather than PuO2. The ability for surface Pu atoms to adapt to a variety of changes in charge state and coordination provides a fundamental basis for understanding the multilayer structure of passive films formed on clean Pu surfaces. An analysis using first-principles thermodynamics also suggests that these films should develop uniformly, and not via an island or columnar growth mechanism. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.

AB We systematically studied the size-dependent quantum diffusion of Gd atoms within Fe circular quantum corrals on Ag(111). By varying the size of the quantum corrals, different types of patterns are observed inside the corrals, including a single dot and circular orbits for the diffusion of Gd adatoms. In addition, the motion of the adatoms also forms circular-like orbits outside the corral. Via quantitative analysis, we confirm that the regions with adatoms' high visiting probability are consistent with the positions of the local electronic density-of-states maxima, both inside and outside the corrals within a <02 nm offset. The results agree well with kinetic Monte Carlo simulations that utilize the experimentally determined interaction between Gd and Fe circular corrals. These findings demonstrate that one can engineer adatom motion by controlling the size of the quantum corrals. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB The surface structure of alpha-Cr2O3(0001) before and after exposure to activated oxygen from an ECR plasma source was investigated by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and x-ray photoelectron diffraction (XPD). Epitaxial Cr2O3(0001) thin films were deposited on Al2O3(0001) substrates by oxygen-plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy (OPA-MBE). When cooled or annealed in vacuum, strong evidence for a Cr-Cr-O-3- termination was obtained by comparing the Cr3+ XPD azimuthal scan to single scattering simulations. However, after plasma exposure, a high binding energy feature was observed in the Cr 2p XPS spectrum that possesses an ordered structure distinct from the underlying Cr3+ of Cr2O3, which remains Cr-Cr-O-3-like. Investigation of this new surface structure with simulations of various candidate structures tentatively rules out CrO2-like configurations. The high binding energy feature likely arises from a higher oxidation state of Cr. One possibility is the oxidation of the surface layer of Cr to Cr6-delta with a double chromyl structure (O=Cr=O).

TI HUMAN ANALYSTS AT SUPERHUMAN SCALES: What Has Friendly Software To Do?
SO BIG DATA
LA English
DT Article
AB As analysts are expected to process a greater amount of information in a shorter amount of time, creators of big data software are challenged with the need for improved efficiency. Ray, our group's usable, scalable genome assembler, addresses big data problems by using optimal resources and producing one, correct and conservative, timely solution. Only by abstracting the size of the data from both the computers and the humans can the real scientific question, often complex in itself, eventually be solved. To draw a curtain over the specific computational machinery of big data, we developed RayPlatform, a programming framework that allows users to concentrate on their domain-specific problems. RayPlatform is a parallel message-passing software framework that runs on clouds, supercomputers, and desktops alike. Using established technologies such as C++ and MPI (message-passing interface), we handle the genomes of hundreds of species, from viruses to plants, using machines ranging from desktop computers to supercomputers. From this experience, we present insights on making computer time more useful-and user time much more valuable.

TI TOWARD MORE TRANSPARENT AND REPRODUCIBLE OMICS STUDIES THROUGH A COMMON
METADATA CHECKLIST AND DATA PUBLICATIONS
SO BIG DATA
LA English
DT Article
AB Biological processes are fundamentally driven by complex interactions between biomolecules. Integrated high-throughput omics studies enable multifaceted views of cells, organisms, or their communities. With the advent of new post-genomics technologies, omics studies are becoming increasingly prevalent; yet the full impact of these studies can only be realized through data harmonization, sharing, meta-analysis, and integrated research. These essential steps require consistent generation, capture, and distribution of metadata. To ensure transparency, facilitate data harmonization, and maximize reproducibility and usability of life sciences studies, we propose a simple common omics metadata checklist. The proposed checklist is built on the rich ontologies and standards already in use by the life sciences community. The checklist will serve as a common denominator to guide experimental design, capture important parameters, and be used as a standard format for stand-alone data publications. The omics metadata checklist and data publications will create efficient linkages between omics data and knowledge-based life sciences innovation and, importantly, allow for appropriate attribution to data generators and infrastructure science builders in the post-genomics era. We ask that the life sciences community test the proposed omics metadata checklist and data publications and provide feedback for their use and improvement.

AB Failure of the drivetrain components is currently listed among the most problematic failures during the operational lifetime of a wind turbine. Guaranteeing robust and reliable drivetrain designs is important to minimize the wind turbine downtime as well as to meet demand in both power quantity and quality. While aeroelastic codes are often used in the design of wind turbine controllers, the drivetrain model in such codes is limited to a few (mostly two) degrees of freedom, resulting in a restricted detail in describing its dynamic behavior and assessing the effectiveness of controllers on attenuating the drivetrain load. In the previous work, the capability of the well-known FAST aeroelastic tool for wind turbine has been enhanced through integration of a dynamic model of a drivetrain. The drivetrain model, built using the Simscape in the MATLAB/Simulink environment, is applied in this paper. The model is used to develop a power-electronics-based controller to prevent excessive drivetrain load. The controller temporarily shifts the closed-loop eigenfrequency of the drivetrain through the addition of virtual inertia, thus avoiding the resonance. Simulation results demonstrating the fidelity of the expanded drivetrain model as well as the effectiveness of the virtual inertia controller are presented.

DE Energy storage; ultracapacitors; variable speed wind turbines; wind

AB Utilization of wind energy in modern power systems creates many technical and economical challenges that need to be addressed for successful large scale wind energy integration. Variations in wind velocity result in variations of output power produced by wind turbines. Variable power output becomes a challenge as the share of wind energy in power systems increases. Large power variations cause voltage and frequency deviations from nominal values that may lead to activation of protective relay equipment, which may result in disconnection of the wind turbines from the grid. Particularly community wind power systems, where only one or few wind turbines supply loads through a weak grid such as distribution network, are sensitive to supply disturbances. Energy storage integrated with wind turbines can address this challenge. In this paper, Li-ion capacitors are investigated as a potential solution for filtering power variations at the scale of tens of seconds. A novel topology and control technique has been introduced to integrate capacitors and power conversion circuitry. Modeling and scaled-down experimental results are provided to verify the theoretical analyses.

DE Angle instability; inertia; inertia constant; phasormeasurement unit;
power system transient stability
AB The alternating current machines in a power system have the ability to remain synchronized following a severe disturbance such as loss of generations, line switching, or fault. This is described as power system transient stability. During system transients, the machines will accelerate or decelerate because of the mismatch between electrical torque and mechanical torque. Their power angles will travel and finally settle down to a new equilibrium, if the system has enough stored energy to absorb the disturbance, and rest the system at another steady state. In case of system instability, some machines will have aperiodic angular separation from the rest of the system and finally lose synchronization. Therefore, the power system transient stability is also called angle stability. The total system inertia is an essential force to rest the system transient. The inertias stored in all rotating masses that are connected to a power system, such as synchronous generators and induction motors, typically respond to disturbances voluntarily, without any control actions; however, several types of renewable generation, particularly those with power electronic interfaces, have an inertial response governed by a control function. To ensure bulk power system stability, there is a need to estimate the equivalent inertia available from a renewable generation plant. An equivalent voluntary inertia constant analogous to that of conventional rotating machines can be used to provide a readily understandable metric, such as the angle instabilities detections, because one of the most difficult obstacles for angle instability detection is the knowledge of the real-time generator inertias. This paper explores a method that utilizes synchrophasor measurements to estimate the equivalent inertia of a power source such as synchronous generators or wind turbine generators. This paper also investigates the angle instability detection method for a system with high wind power penetration using the synchrophasor measurements.

Effect of pressure, temperature, and solvent on catalytic efficiency

DE Photocatalytic CO2 reduction; Rhenium catalyst; Supercritical CO2;
Turnover number; Turnover frequency
AB The photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO in single-phase, high-pressure mixtures of supercritical CO2 and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), using fac-ReCl(bpy)(CO)(3) as a catalyst in the presence of triethanolamine as a sacrificial electron donor has been investigated. The catalytic efficiency was found to be strongly influenced by both the CO2 and DMF concentrations. For example, the turnover number (TON) for CO formation increases linearly with CO2 pressure up to 60 at 17.8 MPa/60 degrees C. It also increases dramatically as the [DMF] is increased from 3.8 to 6.3 M, and then remains almost constant with further increases in [DMF]. This resulted in an optimized TON of 62 at 17.8 MPa CO2/60 degrees C and [DMF] = 6.3 M, and an initial turnover frequency (TOF) of similar to 56 h(-1) at 17.8 MPa CO2/60 degrees C and [DMF] = 11.4 M. These values are 5 x and 2.3 x higher, respectively than those obtained under biphasic low-pressure conditions (0.1 MPa CO2), demonstrating that significant improvements in catalytic performance are possible through the use of high concentrations of CO2. Manipulation of the incident light intensity led to further improvements in both TON (up to 72 under low light levels) and TOF (up to 117 h(-1) under the highest light level investigated).

AB Microwave-assisted synthetic techniques were used to quickly and reproducibly produce silica nanoparticle sols using an acid catalyst with nanoparticle diameters ranging from 30-250 nm by varying the reaction conditions. Through the selection of a microwave compatible solvent, silicic acid precursor, catalyst, and microwave irradiation time, these microwave-assisted methods were capable of overcoming the previously reported shortcomings associated with synthesis of silica nanoparticles using microwave reactors. The siloxane precursor was hydrolyzed using the acid catalyst, HCl. Acetone, a low-tan delta solvent, mediates the condensation reactions and has minimal interaction with the electromagnetic field. Condensation reactions begin when the silicic acid precursor couples with the microwave radiation, leading to silica nanoparticle sol formation. The silica nanoparticles were characterized by dynamic light scattering data and scanning electron microscopy, which show the materials' morphology and size to be dependent on the reaction conditions. Microwave-assisted reactions produce silica nanoparticles with roughened textured surfaces that are atypical for silica sols produced by Stober's methods, which have smooth surfaces.

AB We demonstrate a method for the synthesis of multicomponent nanostructures consisting of CdS and CdSe with rod and tetrapod morphologies. A seeded synthesis strategy is used in which spherical seeds of CdSe are prepared first using a hot-injection technique. By controlling the crystal structure of the seed to be either wurtzite or zinc-blende, the subsequent hot-injection growth of CdS off of the seed results in either a rod-shaped or tetrapod-shaped nanocrystal, respectively. The phase and morphology of the synthesized nanocrystals are confirmed using X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy, demonstrating that the nanocrystals are phase-pure and have a consistent morphology. The extinction coefficient and quantum yield of the synthesized nanocrystals are calculated using UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The rods and tetrapods exhibit extinction coefficients and quantum yields that are higher than that of the bare seeds. This synthesis demonstrates the precise arrangement of materials that can be achieved at the nanoscale by using a seeded synthetic approach.

reduction (CCR)
AB Adoption of energy efficient technologies is an important strategy to reduce demand for fossil fuels and carbon footprint in cement making. We characterized the costs of energy savings and carbon-emission reduction from applying energy efficiency technologies in cement-making plants in the United States in three historical years. Final energy savings resulting from efficiency measures identified in this study were estimated as 82 PJ, 125 PJ, and 95 PJ in 1994, 2004, and 2010, respectively; equivalent to approximately 20%, 25%, and 31% of the sector's annual final energy use. The associated carbon-emission reduction was 2.1 million metric tons of carbon (MtC), 3.3 MtC, and 2.5 MtC in 1994, 2004, and 2010, respectively. Using the concepts of cost of conserved energy (CCE) and cost of carbon-emission reduction (CCR), we estimated that cost effective measures contributed to final energy savings in the range of 15-25% of the sector's annual energy use, and carbon-emission reduction equals to 8-12% of the sector's annual carbon emissions. This study also points out the importance of future monitoring effort to track efficiency measure implementation for the industrial sector, and the need for an improved market for energy efficiency and reduced carbon footprint.

AB Vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) produced rat nasal tumors at concentrations in the hundreds of parts per million. However, VAM is weakly genotoxic in vitro and shows no genotoxicity in vivo. A European Union Risk Assessment concluded that VAM's hydrolysis to acetaldehyde (AA), via carboxylesterase, is a critical key event in VAM's carcinogenic potential. In the following study, we observed increases in micronuclei (MN) and thymidine kinase (Tk) mutants that were dependent on the ability of TK6 cell culture conditions to rapidly hydrolyze VAM to AA. Heat-inactivated horse serum demonstrated a high capacity to hydrolyze VAM to AA; this activity was highly correlated with a concomitant increase in MN. In contrast, heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS) did not hydrolyze VAM and no increase in MN was observed. AA's ability to induce MN was not impacted by either serum since it directly forms Schiff bases with DNA and proteins. Increased mutant frequency at the Tk locus was similarly mitigated when AA formation was not sufficiently rapid, such as incubating VAM in the presence of FBS for 4 hr. Interestingly, neither VAM nor AA induced mutations at the HPRT locus. Finally, cytotoxicity paralleled genotoxicity demonstrating that a small degree of cytotoxicity occurred prior to increases in MN. These results established 0.25 mM as a consistent concentration where genotoxicity first occurred for both VAM and AA provided VAM is hydrolyzed to AA. This information further informs significant key events related to the mode of action of VAM-induced nasal mucosal tumors in rats. Environ. Mol. Mutagen. 54:755-768, 2013.

AB Intensive insecticide and nutrient management have been attempted worldwide to reduce citrus huanglongbing (HLB) symptom development and yield loss. However, effects of insecticide and nutrient applications on HLB have been poorly understood. Leaf nutrients, jasmonic and salicylic acid contents, cycle threshold (Ct) values of Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus (Las), and community structure of endophytic alpha-proteobacteria were evaluated after insecticide treatment, 'nutrition' treatment (including systemic resistance inducing agents), or both in comparison with a control in a two-factor field experiment in 2008-2012. Leaf N, Mn, Zn and B significantly increased whilst Cu decreased after nutrient applications. Salicylic acid significantly increased in old leaves treated with insecticides, nutrients or both, and in young leaves treated with nutrients only. The jasmonic acid concentration was highest after the nutrition treatment in both old and young leaves. Ct values of Las and leaf area and weight significantly increased after long-term nutrient applications in 2011 and/or 2012. Redundancy analysis of the endophytic alpha-proteobacteria community structure indicated that the communities were mainly separated according to nutrient applications, which were positively associated with Ct values of Las and Ca, Mn, Zn, B, Mg, and Fe contents in leaf samples collected in 2012. Thus, effects of insecticides on HLB were significant in the early 2-year period whilst nutrients had significant effects on Las content and leaf size and weight after at least 3 years of application.

AB Temperature dependent deformation of the B2 austenite phase of a polycrystalline Ni49.9Ti50.1 (at.%) shape memory alloy was studied through combined macroscopic and microstructural characterization efforts. The objective was to determine mechanisms responsible for the macroscopic inelastic strains during isothermal loading of NiTi to 18% strain at temperatures above which the austenite phase exists in the nominally unloaded or stress-free condition (i.e., above the austenite finish temperature, A(f)). This study included in situ time-of-flight (TOF) neutron diffraction experiments used to follow the evolution of the lattice strains, texture, and phase fractions during deformation, ex situ macroscopic tensile experiments, and hot stage transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It was found that stress-induced martensite (SIM) formed at temperatures up to 310 degrees C, which is well above the stress-free A(f) of 105 degrees C. However, the stress induced martensite formed concurrently with general <001> slip processes and twinning by [114}(B2) compound deformation twins, and did not occur as a separate distinguishable mechanism. Above the temperature that martensite cannot form with stress or the martensite desist temperature, M-d, deformation was governed by the same slip and deformation twinning mechanisms, in addition to diffusion-assisted deformation processes. The overall results were combined to generate a deformation map that contained limits over which each of the identified deformation mechanisms was dominant in this Ni49.9Ti50.1 alloy.

AB The algorithmic and implementation principles are explored in gainfully exploiting GPO accelerators in conjunction with multicore processors on high-end systems with large numbers of compute nodes, and evaluated in an implementation of a scalable block tridiagonal solver. The accelerator of each compute node is exploited in combination with multicore processors of that node in performing block-level linear algebra operations in the overall, distributed solver algorithm. Optimizations incorporated include: (1) an efficient memory mapping and synchronization interface to Minimize data movement, (2) multi-process sharing of the accelerator within a node to obtain balanced load with multicore processors', and (3) an automatic memory management system to efficiently utilize accelerator memory when sub-matrices spill over the limits of device memory. Results are reported from our novel implementation that uses MAGMA and CUBLAS accelerator software systems simultaneously with ACML (2013) [2] for multithreaded execution on processors. Overall, using 940 nVidia Testa X2090 accelerators and 15,040 cores, the best heterogeneous execution delivers a 10.9-fold reduction in run time relative to an already efficient parallel multicore-only baseline implementation that is highly optimized with intra-node and inter-node concurrency and computation-communication overlap. Detailed quantitative results are presented to explain all critical runtime components contributing to hybrid performance. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

AB Proton computed tomography (pCT) is an imaging modality that has been in development to support targeted dose delivery in proton therapy. It aims to accurately map the distribution of relative stopping power. Because protons traverse material media in non-linear paths, pCT requires individual proton processing. Image reconstruction then becomes a time-consuming process. Clinical-use scenarios that require images from billions of protons in less than ten or fifteen minutes have motivated us to use distributed and hardware-accelerated computing methods to achieve fast image reconstruction. Combined use of MPI and GPUs demonstrates that clinically viable image reconstruction is possible. On a 60-node CPU/GPU computer cluster, we achieved efficient strong and weak scaling when reconstructing images from two billion histories in under seven minutes. This represents a significant improvement over the previous state-of-the-art in pCT, which took almost seventy minutes to reconstruct an image from 131 million histories on a single-CPU, single-GPU computer.

ID CONVERGENCE
AB In this paper, we analyze the potential of asynchronous relaxation methods on Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). We develop asynchronous iteration algorithms in CUDA and compare them with parallel implementations of synchronous relaxation methods on CPU- or GPU-based systems. For a set of test matrices from UFMC we investigate convergence behavior, performance and tolerance to hardware failure. We observe that even for our most basic asynchronous relaxation scheme, the method can efficiently leverage the GPUs computing power and is, despite its lower convergence rate compared to the Gauss-Seidel relaxation, still able to provide solution approximations of certain accuracy in considerably shorter time than Gauss-Seidel running on CPUs- or GPU-based Jacobi. Hence, it overcompensates for the slower convergence by exploiting the scalability and the good fit of the asynchronous schemes for the highly parallel GPU architectures. Further, enhancing the most basic asynchronous approach with hybrid schemes-using multiple iterations within the "subdomain" handled by a GPU thread block-we manage to not only recover the loss of global convergence but often accelerate convergence of up to two times, while keeping the execution time of a global iteration practically the same. The combination with the advantageous properties of asynchronous iteration methods with respect to hardware failure identifies the high potential of the asynchronous methods for Exascale computing.

TI Low Cycle Fatigue and Creep-Fatigue Behavior of Alloy 617 at High
Temperature

LA English
DT Article
ID SUPERALLOY; STEEL; TIME
AB Alloy 617 is the leading candidate material for an intermediate heat exchanger (IHX) application of the very high temperature nuclear reactor (VHTR), expected to have an outlet temperature as high as 950 degrees C. Acceptance of Alloy 617 in Section III of the ASME Code for nuclear construction requires a detailed understanding of the creep-fatigue behavior. Initial creep-fatigue work on Alloy 617 suggests a more dominant role of environment with increasing temperature and/or hold times evidenced through changes in creep-fatigue crack growth mechanisms and failure life. Continuous cycle fatigue and creep-fatigue testing of Alloy 617 was conducted at 950 degrees C and 0.3% and 0.6% total strain in air to simulate damage modes expected in a VHTR application. Continuous cycle fatigue specimens exhibited transgranular cracking. Intergranular cracking was observed in the creep-fatigue specimens and the addition of a hold time at peak tensile strain degraded the cycle life. This suggests that creep-fatigue interaction occurs and that the environment may be partially responsible for accelerating failure.

AB In situ neutron diffraction was used during tensile testing at room temperature to examine the changes in the proportion and texture of both ferrite and austenite in a nanocrystalline bainitic steel transformed at two different temperatures, 200 and 300 degrees C, for different times to achieve the same phase percentages. Both samples showed an inability of austenite to transform to martensite under strain to take full advantage of the transformation-induced plasticity effect. (C) 2013 Acta Materialia Inc.

AB The stability of coherent L12-ordered Ni-3(Al,Ti) intermetallic precipitates was studied in Fe-14Cr-32Ni-3Nb-(3-4)Al-(1-3)Ti (wt.%) based alumina-founing austenitic stainless alloys. Computational thermodynamics predicted the formation of multi-intermetallic phases, including L12 and beta-NiAl (B2), in an austenite matrix below similar to 900 degrees C. Microstructure characterization revealed a significant stabilization of the L1(2) phase by Zr addition, with the amount of L12 increasing with increasing Ti addition. However, the Ti addition also degraded the oxidation resistance. Further additions of C and B successfully improved both creep and oxidation properties. (C) 2013 Acta Materialia Inc.

AB Although there have been many ignition studies of n-heptane-a primary reference fuel-few studies have provided detailed insights into the low-temperature chemistry of n-heptane through direct measurements of intermediate species formed during ignition. Such measurements provide understanding of reaction pathways that form toxic air pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions while also providing key metrics essential to the development of chemical kinetic mechanisms. This paper presents new ignition and speciation data taken at high pressure (9 atm), low temperatures (660-710 K), and a dilution of inert gases-to-molecular oxygen of 5.64 (mole basis). The detailed time-histories of 17 species, including large alkenes, aldehydes, carbon monoxide, and n-heptane were quantified using gas chromatography. A detailed chemical kinetic mechanism developed previously for oxidation of n-heptane reproduced experimentally observed ignition delay times reasonably well, but predicted levels of some important intermediate chemical species that were significantly different from measured values. Results from recent theoretical studies of low temperature hydrocarbon oxidation reaction rates were used to upgrade the chemical kinetic mechanism for n-heptane, leading to much better agreement between experimental and computed intermediate species concentrations. The implications of these results to many other hydrocarbon fuel oxidation mechanisms in the literature are discussed. (C) 2013 The Combustion Institute. Published by Elsevier Inc.

AB Biofuels are considered as potentially attractive alternative fuels that can reduce greenhouse gas and pollutant emissions. iso-Pentanol is one of several next-generation biofuels that can be used as an alternative fuel in combustion engines. In the present study, new experimental data for iso-pentanol in shock tube, rapid compression machine, jet stirred reactor, and counterflow diffusion flame are presented. Shock tube ignition delay times were measured for iso-pentanol/air mixtures at three equivalence ratios, temperatures ranging from 819 to 1252 K, and at nominal pressures near 40 and 60 bar. Jet stirred reactor experiments are reported at 5 atm and five equivalence ratios. Rapid compression machine ignition delay data was obtained near 40 bar, for three equivalence ratios, and temperatures below 800 K. Laminar flame speed data and non-premixed extinction strain rates were obtained using the counterflow configuration. A detailed chemical kinetic model for iso-pentanol oxidation was developed including high- and low-temperature chemistry for a better understanding of the combustion characteristics of higher alcohols. First, bond dissociation energies were calculated using ab initio methods, and the proposed rate constants were based on a previously presented model for butanol isomers and n-pentanol. The model was validated against new and existing experimental data at pressures of 1-60 atm, temperatures of 6501500 K, equivalence ratios of 0.25-4.0, and covering both premixed and non-premixed environments. The method of direct relation graph (DRG) with expert knowledge (DRGX) was employed to eliminate unimportant species and reactions in the detailed mechanism, and the resulting skeletal mechanism was used to predict non-premixed flames. In addition, reaction path and temperature A-factor sensitivity analyses were conducted for identifying key reactions at various combustion conditions. (C) 2013 The Combustion Institute.

AB Turbulent premixed flames in the thin and broken reaction zones regimes are difficult to model with Large Eddy Simulation (LES) because turbulence strongly perturbs subfilter scale flame structures. This study addresses the difficulty by proposing a strained flamelet model for LES of high Karlovitz number flames. The proposed model extends a previously developed premixed flamelet approach to account for turbulence's perturbation of subfilter premixed flame structures. The model describes combustion processes by solving strained premixed fiamelets, tabulating the results in terms of a progress variable and a hydrogen radical, and invoking a presumed PDF framework to account for subfilter physics. The model is validated using two dimensional laminar flame studies, and is then tested by performing an LES of a premixed slot-jet direct numerical simulation (DNS). In the premixed regime diagram this slot-jet is found at the edge of the broken reaction zones regime. Comparisons of the DNS, the strained flamelet model LES, and an unstrained flamelet model LES confirm that turbulence perturbs flame structure to leading order effect, and that the use of an unstrained flamelet LES model under-predicts flame height. It is shown that the strained flamelet model captures the physics characterizing interactions of mixing and chemistry in highly turbulent regimes. (C) 2013 The Combustion Institute.

AB This study presents the experimental procedure and results of highly controlled pool fire tests, in a quiescent environment, designed to accurately measure the fuel burning rate and, consequently for sufficiently large pools, the thermal radiation flux back to the fuel surface. Steps were taken to minimize the effects of in-depth absorption of flame radiation, circulation within the liquid, and changes in fuel composition due to distillation of more volatile fuel components. With these precautions, focus is placed on gas phase phenomena controlling the heat release rate per unit pool area. The primary variables considered are: pool diameter, heat of gasification, flame sootiness as characterized by the inverse of the fuel smoke-point flame height, and, to a lesser extent, absorption of flame radiation by the fuel vapors just above the liquid surface. Results reported herein agree well with literature values for experiments conducted under similarly controlled conditions. A simple empirical formula is developed based primarily on heat of gasification and smoke point and is shown to correlate the mass burning rate within 9%, on average, of the experimental data.

AB The oxidation state of transition metal elements is an indicator of the environmental conditions during formation and history of extraterrestrial materials. We studied the iron valence state of fine-grained material from a bulbous track extracted from the Stardust comctary collector. It likely originated from primitive material of the comet Wild 2. We used synchrotron-based Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscopy (STXM) to collect Fe L-3-XANES spectra at a spatial resolution of about 20 nm. Maps of Fe valence state were combined with the elemental maps recorded by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) with a transmission electron microscope (TEM), on the same areas and with a comparable electron probe size (520 nm). As for most Stardust fine-grained material, the samples are severely damaged by the hypervelocity impact in the aerogel collector blocks. They show of a wide range of oxidation state at a micrometer scale, from Fe metal to Fe3+. This heterogeneity of oxidation state can be due to the extreme conditions of the collection. Two major parameters can favor changes in redox state. The first is the high temperature regime, known to be highly heterogeneous and to have locally reached extreme values (up to 2000 K). The second is the local chemical environment. It may contain elements that could favor a reduction or oxidation reaction within the flash-heated Wild 2 fragments. Comparison of maps by STXM and EDS shows evidence for several correlation trends between element concentrations and the iron valence state. These observations, together with the study of a melted rim of a larger particle, suggest that the redox state was not completely redistributed within the impact melts. These local signatures are compatible with precursors that could have been close to primitive matrix material of chondrites or to chondritic interplanetary dust particles. On average, the fine-grained material from Wild 2 displays a molar fraction (Fe-oxide(2+) + Fe-oxide(3+))/(total Fe) equal to 0.80 +/- 0.10. It appears more oxidized than the average value measured for the comet, when done on larger particles (Westphal et al., 2009). This fine-grained material from Wild 2 does not seem to have sampled reducing environments in the solar nebulae in contrast with the larger particles of Wild 2. This observation confirms the high degree of diversity of materials in Wild 2 and is in good agreement with the dual distribution of high temperature minerals and matrices in carbonaceous chondrites.

AB The biogeochemical cycle of Fe is intricately linked with that of organic matter. Cysteine represents an organic molecule with functionalities (O, S, N functional groups) and a C backbone that may mimic the functional groups present in organic matter from terrestrial and aquatic environments. In the present study we explore the redox speciation and coordination environment of Fe and the roles of the various ligand atoms of cysteine (C, N, S) in iron-organic redox coupling and transformations. The changes in oxidation state of Fe, C, N, and S in laboratory-synthesized Fe(II)-cysteine (synthesized from ferrous sulfate) and Fe(III)-cysteine (synthesized from ferric nitrate) complexes are monitored as a function of time using synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy (Fe L-2,L-3-edge XANES; C, N and S K-edge XANES; Fe K-edge EXAFS) and theoretical multiplet calculations using the program CTM4XAS (Charge Transfer Multiplet for X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy). CTM4XAS calculations show that 80% of the total Fe in both the Fe(II)-cysteine and the Fe(III)-cysteine complexes is present as Fe 2+ initially (t = 0), thus indicating preservation of Fe(II) in Fe(II)-cysteine and reduction of Fe(III) in Fe(III)-cysteine at initial conditions, the latter caused by an internal electron transfer reaction from S of -SH on the cysteine molecule. After 12 months, however, similar to 60% of the total Fe is present as Fe3+ in the Fe(II)-cysteine complex whereas similar to 67% of the total Fe is present as Fe2+ in the Fe(III)-cysteine complex. The fact that a larger proportion of the Fe in the Fe(III)-cysteine complex remained reduced after 12 months than that in the Fe(II)-cysteine complex suggests that the reduced Fe in Fe(III)-cysteine after 12 months is further stabilized via preferential binding with the donor atoms of cysteine. Stabilization via preferential binding is supported by a coordination environment that changed from tetrahedral Fe2+ binding to S at a distance of 2.3A at t = 0 for both Fe(II, III)-cysteine complexes, to Fe3+ in an octahedral coordination with O/N atoms at a distance of 2.05A (most prevalent in Fe(II)-cysteine) and Fe2+ in tetrahedral coordination with S/O/N atoms at an average distance of 2.15A (most prevalent in Fe(III)-cysteine) at t = 12 months. Redox changes in the -NH2 and -SH groups of cysteine accompanied the Fe redox changes thus reflecting the true potential of cysteine as a redox ligand. Our studies of the Fe(II, III)-cysteine complexes add valuable information to the existing literature on the redox chemistry of Fe-cysteine systems by shedding light on the electron exchange pathways that may occur within the complexes and by providing a detailed depiction of the iron-ligand structure and coordination. The presence and persistence of Fe(II) or Fe(III) in complexes with soluble organics have implications for Fe biological availability and Fe mobility and transport in terrestrial as well as in aquatic environments.

TI CO2-induced shift in microbial activity affects carbon trapping and

AB Microbial activity is a potentially important yet poorly understood control on the fate and environmental impact of CO2 that leaks into aquifers from deep storage reservoirs. In this study we examine how variation in CO2 abundance affected competition between Fe(III) and SO2--reducers in anoxic bioreactors inoculated with a mixed-microbial community from a freshwater aquifer. We performed two sets of experiments: one with low CO2 partial pressure (similar to 0.02 atm) in the headspace of the reactors and one with high CO2 partial pressure (similar to 1 atm). A fluid residence time of 35 days was maintained in the reactors by replacing one-fifth of the aqueous volume with fresh medium every seven days. The aqueous medium was composed of groundwater amended with small amounts of acetate (250 mu M), phosphate (1 mu M), and ammonium (50 mu M) to stimulate microbial activity. Synthetic goethite (1 mmol) and SO42- (500 mu M influent concentration) were also available in each reactor to serve as electron acceptors. Results of this study show that higher CO2 abundance increased the ability of Fe(III) reducers to compete with SO42- reducers, leading to significant shifts in CO2 trapping and water quality. Mass-balance calculations and pyrosequencing results demonstrate that SO42- reducers were dominant in reactors with low CO2 content. They consumed 85% of the acetate after acetate consumption reached steady state while Fe(III) reducers consumed only 15% on average. In contrast, Fe(III) reducers were dominant during that same interval in reactors with high CO2 content, consuming at least 90% of the acetate while SO42- reducers consumed a negligible amount (< 1%). The higher rate of Fe(III) reduction in the high-CO2 bioreactors enhanced CO2 solubility trapping relative to the low-CO2 bioreactors by increasing alkalinity generation (6X). Hence, the shift in microbial activity we observed was a positive feedback on CO2 trapping. More rapid Fe(III) reduction degraded water quality, however, by leading to high Fe(II) concentration.

AB We present chemical and isotopic data for fluids, minerals and rocks from the Long Valley meteoric-hydrothermal system. The samples encompass the presumed hydrothermal upwelling zone in the west moat of the caldera, the Casa Diablo geothermal field, and a series of wells defining a nearly linear, similar to 16 km long, west-to-east trend along the likely fluid flow path. Fluid samples were analyzed for the isotopes of water, Sr, and Ca, the concentrations of major cations and anions, alkalinity, and total CO2. Water isotope data conform to trends documented in earlier studies, interpreted as indicating a single hydrothermal fluid mixing with local groundwater. Sr isotopes show subtle changes along the flow path, which requires rapid fluid flow and minimal reaction between the channelized fluids and the wallrocks. Sr and O isotopes are used to calculate fracture spacing using a dual porosity model. Calculated fracture spacing and temperature data for hydrothermal fluids indicate the system is (approximately) at steady-state. Correlated variations among total CO2, and the concentration and isotopic composition of Ca suggest progressive fluid degassing (loss of CO2), which drives calcite precipitation as the fluid flows west-to-east and cools. The shifts in Ca isotopes require that calcite precipitated at temperatures of 150-180 degrees C is fractionated by ca. -0.3 parts per thousand to -0.5 parts per thousand relative to aqueous species. Our data are the first evidence that Ca isotopes undergo kinetic fractionation at high temperatures (> 100 degrees C) and can be used to trace calcite precipitation along hydrothermal fluid flow paths.

AB The environmental fate of actinides is greatly influenced by interfacial reactions, including adsorption onto solid surfaces where the adsorption of trivalent and tetravalent actinides is generally a very strong and potentially irreversible reaction. Changes in the primary hydration sphere of the actinide during inner-sphere adsorption could greatly influence the thermodynamics of these reactions. However, few researchers have studied actinide adsorption thermodynamics. Therefore, using Eu(III) as an analog for trivalent actinides, we examined the thermodynamics of Eu(III) adsorption onto hematite, with particular emphasis on changes in the Eu(III) coordination number and the influence of temperature upon sorption. Our working hypothesis was that a decrease in hydration number upon adsorption, as indicated by a decrease in coordination number and an increase in adsorption with increasing temperature, results in energetically favorable sorption reactions, which are driven by a large, positive entropy term. To perform these studies, we applied the diffuse layer model to describe Eu(III) adsorption onto hematite at pH values ranging from similar to 3 to 7 and at 15, 25, 35, and 50 degrees C. Additionally, we characterized the Eu(III)hematite surface complex and changes in the Eu(III) primary hydration sphere using extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (EXAFS) and computational modeling. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) was used to identify possible europium surface precipitates or morphological changes in the hematite. The data indicate that the adsorption reaction (1) is endothermic, (2) proceeds with a decrease in the Eu(III) coordination number, and (3) results in the formation of a bidentate mononuclear surface complex, (equivalent to FeO)(2)Eu+. The enthalpy and entropy values for the formation of this surface complex, which were estimated using a van't Hoff plot, were 131 +/- 8 kJ mol(-1) and 439 +/- 26 J K-1 mol(-1), respectively, indicating that adsorption of Eu(III) onto hematite is entropically driven. Additionally, we suggest that the decrease in Eu(III) coordination number and the large entropy term are due to the loss of coordinating water molecules from the Eu(III) hydration sphere.

AB The deformation behavior of the polycrystalline superalloy R104 has been characterized via scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM). Specimens tested under low cycle fatigue (LCF) conditions were examined based on testing temperature, total strain range, and/or cycle number. Extensive electron microscopy characterization has revealed non-planar deformation to be a dominant mode in polycrystalline R104, resulting from ample cross-slipping processes between {1 1 1} and {1 0 0} planes. Somewhat unexpectedly, this mechanism appears at both low and high temperatures, although the macroscopic material response is quite different. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB Microstructure plays a key role in fatigue crack initiation and growth. Consequently, measurements of strain at the microstructural level are crucial to understanding fatigue crack behavior. The few studies that provide such measurements have relatively limited resolution or areas of observation. This paper provides quantitative, full-field measurements of plastic strain near a growing fatigue crack in Hastelloy X, a nickel-based superalloy. Unprecedented spatial resolution for the area covered was obtained through a novel experimental technique based on digital image correlation (DIC). These high resolution strain measurements were linked to electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) measurements of grain structure (both grain shape and orientation).
Accumulated plastic strain fields associated with fatigue crack growth exhibited inhomogeneities at two length scales. At the macroscale, the plastic wake contained high strain regions in the form of asymmetric lobes associated with past crack tip plastic zones. At high magnification, high resolution DIC measurements revealed inhomogeneities at, and below, the grain scale. Effective strain not only varied from grain to grain, but also within individual grains. Furthermore, strain localizations were observed in slip bands within grains and on twin and grain boundaries. A better understanding of these multiscale heterogeneities could help explain variations in fatigue crack growth rate and crack path and could improve the understanding of fatigue crack closure and fracture in ductile metals.

AB We investigate efficient algorithms and a practical implementation of an explicit-type high-order timestepping method based on Krylov subspace approximations, for possible application to large-scale engineering problems in electromagnetics. We consider a semi-discrete form of the Maxwell's equations resulting from a high-order spectral-element discontinuous Galerkin discretization in space whose solution can be expressed analytically by a large matrix exponential of dimension . We project the matrix exponential into a small Krylov subspace by the Arnoldi process based on the modified Gram-Schmidt algorithm and perform a matrix exponential operation with a much smaller matrix of dimension (). For computing the matrix exponential, we obtain eigenvalues of the matrix using available library packages and compute an ordinary exponential function for the eigenvalues. The scheme involves mainly matrix-vector multiplications, and its convergence rate is generally in time so that it allows taking a larger timestep size as increases. We demonstrate CPU time reduction compared with results from the five-stage fourth-order Runge-Kutta method for a certain accuracy. We also demonstrate error behaviors for long-time simulations. Case studies are also presented, showing loss of orthogonality that can be recovered by adding a low-cost reorthogonalization technique.

AB We prepared titania films by aerosol deposition (AD), in which titania powder is supersonically accelerated for deposition onto a substrate. These AD titania films exhibited hydrophilicity and photocatalysis under UV exposure. However, after surface modification by CF4 plasma-etching., the films showed higher hydrophilicity and lower photocatalytic effect. After sufficient modification, they exhibited superhydrophilicity, which was induced by the presence of fluorine. This type of surface modification is useful for promoting hydrophilicity under no UV light exposure. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l. All rights reserved.

AB Argonne National Laboratory (Argonne) and the Joint Research Centre-Institute for Energy and Transport (JRC-IET) collaborated to understand the aging behavior of polymer-electrolyte membrane stacks when operated under different duty cycles. The duty cycles were that used by the U.S. Department of Energy (DST) and the US Fuel Cell Council; the New European Drive Cycle (ECE R15); that used in IEC-TS62282-7-1 (IEC) and Fuel Cell Testing and Standardization Network; and the one proposed by the US Driving Research and Innovation for Vehicle Efficiency and Energy Sustainability Fuel Cell Technical Team (FCTT).
The stacks were cycled using the duty profile in each protocol for 200 h; stack performance was measured every 100 h. Analysis of the relative changes in the average cell potentials at 180 A showed that the rate of performance decline could be ordered as IEC > ECE R15, the latter being slightly greater than or approximately equal to DST and FCTT. Comparing this ordering to the length of time at full power in the duty cycle with the degradation rates shows that they are related. Most likely, the underlying cause of performance decline can be attributed to the manner in which the product water interacts with the stack components. (C) 2013 Published by Elsevier B.V.

AB The electrochemical reactions of amorphous/nanocrystalline AlSb thin films prepared by magnetron sputtering are reported for the first time. The reaction with Li proceeds with an average reaction potential of 0.65 V, a reversible capacity of 750 mAh g(-1), and very fast reaction kinetics. A storage capacity close to 500 mAh g(-1) (70% of the maximum capacity) is achieved at 125 degrees C-rate. Only small increases in overpotentials are measured with increasing currents: 0.15 Vat 12 degrees C and 0.7 Vat 125 degrees C. In contrast, the reaction with Na results in average reaction potential of 0.5 V and a storage capacity of 450 mAh g(-1). The capacity retention and reaction kinetics with Na are presently not satisfactory with pronounced capacity losses upon cycling and larger overpotentials with increasing current. The capacity retention can be improved by using FEC additive in the Na-ion electrolyte, which highlights that the SEI plays an important role for the electrode cycling stability. The study of the reaction mechanism by X-ray diffraction reveals that the electrode material remains amorphous at all potentials, and suggests that during the reaction with Li the atomic short range ordering is similar to the expected phases.

AB The stability of various polymer binders was systematically investigated in the oxygen-rich environment required for the operation of Li-O-2 batteries. Due to the coverage on air electrode surface by the discharge products and decomposition products of the electrolyte during the discharge process of Li-O-2 batteries, the binder in the air electrode is hard to be detected making the evaluation of its stability problematic. Therefore, stability of the binder polymers against the reduced oxygen species generated during the discharge process was investigated by ball milling the polymers with KO2 and Li2O(2), respectively. Most of the studied polymers are unstable under these conditions and their decomposition mechanisms are proposed according to the analyzed products. Polyethylene was found to exhibit excellent stability when exposed to superoxide and peroxide species and is suggested as a robust binder for air electrodes. In addition, the binding strength of the polymer significantly affects the discharge performance of Li-O-2 batteries. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB The performance of a ten-cell 50 cm(2) 100 W polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) stack was evaluated under dynamic load cycling conditions utilizing the 2005 United States Department of Energy durability test protocol for PEFCs. An enhancement of performance was observed during the first 240 h, while an irreversible degradation of stack performance was observed after 480 h ( similar to 4700 cycles). In particular, the stack voltage at 100 mA cm(-2) was decreased by 2.8% after 480 h and individual cell voltage was decreased up to 8%. An analysis of cell overpotentials for activation, Ohmic, and mass transport losses revealed that the predominant source of performance degradation was due to kinetic losses. The loss of catalyst utilization was estimated to be 39% based on the electrochemically active surface area (ECSA) measurements. Electron microscopic images of some of the cells showed growth in cathode Pt particle size from 5.3 to 6.2 nm. However, these microscopic images did not show any membrane damage or electrode thinning. Severe degradation of both the anode and cathode silicone gasket seals was observed during the durability test. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB We have performed both mesoscale simulations and neutron scattering experiments on Pluronic L62, a poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO-PPO-RED) ti iblock copolymer system in aqueous solution. The influence of simulation variables such PEO/PPO block ratio, interaction parameters, and coarse-graining methods is extensively investigated by covering all permutations of parameters found in the literatures. Upon increasing the polymer weight fraction from 50 wt% to 90 wt%, the equilibrium structure of the isotropic, reverse micellar, bicontinuous, worm-like micelle network, and lamellar phases are respectively predicted from the simulation depending on the choices of simulation parameters. Small angle neutron scattering (SANS) measurements show that the same polymer systems exhibit the spherical micellar, lamellar, and reverse micellar phases with the increase of the copolymer concentration at room temperature. Detailed structural analysis and comparison with simulations suggest that one of the simulation parameter sets can provide reasonable agreement with the experimentally observed structures.

AB The retrofit of notch damaged steel beams is investigated via the experimental testing of nine wide-flange steel beam specimens and finite element simulation. Three notch configurations representing various damage levels were identified, and the beam specimens were retrofitted using carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates and a recently developed Carbon-fiber Hybrid-polymeric Matrix Composite (CHMC) that has been termed CarbonFlex, and that exhibits superior energy dissipation and ductility properties. The peak-load deflections of the CarbonFlex-retrofitted beams were calculated to be between 67.8% and 73.1% higher than their CFRP-retrofitted counterparts, The results are attributed to the substantially higher damage tolerance of CarbonFlex than conventional carbon-fiber reinforced polymer. Finite element models were developed to investigate the damage mechanism and loading carrying capacities of the beams, and the strain/ stress distributions near the notch tips. The numerical results match closely with the experimentally determined load-deflection curves and the strain fields obtained by the digital imaging correlations (DIC) technique. Both experimental and numerical results clearly indicate the effectiveness of CarbonFlex, as a candidate retrofitting material, for damaged steel structures. Lastly, the micro-mechanisms by which CarbonFlex could sufficiently sustain a significant amount of the peak strength at large deformations are discussed through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and nano-indentation studies.

AB This paper examines plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) grid integration, which is a specific, yet significant, component of the overall innovation being adopted by the electric power system. We propose a PEV charging policy that considers transmission and distribution integration issues and reacts to market signals across time scales and systems. More specifically, we propose that the PEV should make economic charging decisions every 5 min based on a real-time market energy price signal. On the time scale of seconds, the PEV provides voltage support for the distribution network, which may allow increased penetrations of distributed photovoltaic (PV) solar arrays. Simulation results using Electric Reliability Council of Texas wholesale power market data suggest that this voltage support service may be provided at a low cost to the individual PEV owner ($5-$50 per year). Therefore, this may prove a more attractive option for supporting distributed PV arrays than distribution network upgrades such as tap-changerequipped transformers. Finally, we demonstrate the feasibility of our control algorithm through a test system located at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.

ID LESSONS
AB Effective and efficient risk management processes include the use of modeling and simulation during the concept exploration phase as part of the technology and risk assessment activities, with testing and evaluation tasks occurring in later design development phases. However, some safety requirements and design architectures may be dominated by the low probability/high consequence, previously unknown or uncharacterized vulnerabilities that require very early testing to characterize and efficiently mitigate. Failure to address these unique risks has led to catastrophic systems failures including the Space Shuttle Challenger, Deepwater Horizon, the Fukushima nuclear reactor, and Katrina levee failures. Discovering and addressing these risks later in the design and development process can be very costly or even lead to project cancellation. This paper presents a framework for the risk management process adoption of early hazard phenomenology testing to inform the technical risk assessment, requirements definition, and conceptual design. A case study of the lightning design vulnerability of the insensitive high explosives being used in construction, demolition, and defense industries will be presented to examine the impact of this vulnerability testing during the concept exploration phase of the design effort.

AB Catalysts are essential for the generation of energy carriers like hydrocarbon fuels, hydrogen, and electrical current. The performance of catalysts can be related to their nanostructure (i.e., size and shape) and composition. To rationally design catalysts by tuning these properties, they should be measured in a meaningful way using surface-sensitive spectroscopic tools under reaction conditions. In this perspective, we provide case histories of recently published research aimed at understanding these properties using a spectroscopic strategy under reaction conditions. We limit this perspective to studies whose main focus was to understand how the nanostructure and composition impact the active phase and/or efficiency of catalysts for the generation and conversion of energy carriers. We discuss studies of a Pd/Ga2O3 catalyst for the generation of hydrogen fuel from methanol and water, a PtMo catalyst for the generation of hydrogen fuel from biomass and water, Pt/Rh catalysts for the conversion of hydrogen into electrical current, a CeO (x) catalyst for the conversion of hydrogen into electrical current, and Fe and Co/CoPt catalysts for the generation of hydrocarbon fuel from carbon monoxide and hydrogen. Each study emphasizes how the use of spectroscopic tools under reactive conditions is beneficial for making rational decisions for improving catalysts. The studies demonstrate how different synthesis methods dictate the nanostructure and distribution of alloy components in the catalyst, certain pretreatment conditions create the active surface phase, while reactions and post-treatments can destroy it, and the nanostructure and composition change the electronic structure and alter the selectivity and activity.

AB A series of ZnO promoted Co/CeO2 catalysts were synthesized and characterized using XRD, TEM, H-2-TPR, CO chemisorption, O-2-TPO, IR-Py, and CO2-TPD. The effects of ZnO on the catalytic performances of Co/CeO2 were studied in ethanol steam reforming. It was found that the addition of ZnO facilitated the oxidation of Co-0 via enhanced oxygen mobility of the CeO2 support which decreased the activity of Co/CeO2 in C-C bond cleavage of ethanol. 3 wt% ZnO promoted Co/CeO2 exhibited minimum CO and CH4 selectivity and maximum CO2 selectivity. This resulted from the combined effects of the following factors with increasing ZnO loading: (1) enhanced oxygen mobility of CeO2 facilitated the oxidation of CH (x) and CO to form CO2; (2) increased ZnO coverage on CeO2 surface reduced the interaction between CH (x) /CO and Co/CeO2; and (3) suppressed CO adsorption on Co-0 reduced CO oxidation rate to form CO2. In addition, the addition of ZnO also modified the surface acidity and basicity of CeO2, which consequently affected the C-2-C-4 product distributions.

AB The kinetics of methane steam reforming were studied on a Ni/Mg/K/Al2O3 catalyst that was developed for conditioning of biomass-derived syngas. Reactions were conducted in a packed-bed reactor while the concentrations of reactants (methane and steam) and products (hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide) were varied at atmospheric pressure, with the effects of temperature (525-700 A degrees C) and residence time also being investigated. A power law rate model was developed using nonlinear regression to provide a predictive capability for the rate of methane conversion over this catalyst, to be used for reactor design and technoeconomic analysis of process designs. In order to provide some mechanistic insight, and to compare this catalyst to other non-promoted Ni/Al2O3 catalysts reported in the literature, a reaction mechanism consisting of five elementary steps, using a Langmuir-Hinshelwood type approach, was also considered. These five steps included: (i) CH4 adsorption, (ii) H2O adsorption, (iii) surface reaction of adsorbed CH4 and H2O to form CO and H-2, (iv) CO desorption, and (v) H-2 desorption. Nonlinear regression was then used to fit each of the rate laws to the experimental data. From these results, the model that assumed CH4 adsorption to be the rate determining step provided the best fit of the experimental data. This finding is consistent with literature studies on non-promoted Ni/Al2O3 catalysts, in which methane adsorption has been proposed to be the rate determining step during catalytic methane steam reforming. Both the power rate laws and the rate law assuming CH4 adsorption to be the rate determining step can be used as predictive tools for determining methane conversion for a given set of process conditions. Additionally, a rate expression that assumed the rate was only a function of methane partial pressure was considered, namely, , where , with P-CH4 in units of Torr. This first-order-methane rate expression fit the data well, yielding an apparent activation energy over this catalyst of E-a = 93 kJ/mol and the pre-exponential rate constant of k(0) = 7.67 x 10(5) mol/(g-cat s Torr CH4).

AB The adsorption and deactivation characteristics of coprecipitated Cu/ZnO-based catalysts were examined and correlated to their performance in methanol synthesis from CO2 hydrogenation. The addition of Ga2O3 and Y2O3 promoters is shown to increase the Cu surface area and CO2/H-2 adsorption capacities of the catalysts and enhance methanol synthesis activity. Infrared studies showed that CO2 adsorbs spontaneously on these catalysts at room temperature as both mono- and bi-dentate carbonate species. These weakly bound species desorb completely from the catalyst surface by 200 A degrees C while other carbonate species persist up to 500 A degrees C. Characterization using N2O decomposition, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis clearly indicated that Cu sintering is the main cause of catalyst deactivation. Ga and Y promotion improves the catalyst stability by suppressing the agglomeration of Cu and ZnO particles under pretreatment and reaction conditions.

AB The activities of CeO2, Mn2O3-CeO2 and ZrO2-CeO2 were measured for acetic acid ketonization under reaction conditions relevant to pyrolysis vapor upgrading. We show that the catalyst ranking changed depending on the reaction conditions. Mn2O3-CeO2 was the most active catalyst at 350 A degrees C, while ZrO2-CeO2 was the most active catalyst at 450 A degrees C. Under high CO2 and steam concentration in the reactants, Mn2O3-CeO2 was the most active catalyst at 350 and 450 A degrees C. The binding energies of steam and CO2 with the active phase were calculated to provide the insight into the tolerance of Mn2O3-CeO2 to steam and CO2.

AB The turnover rate (TOR, normalized to sites measured by CO chemisorption before reaction) and selectivity for the aqueous phase reforming of glycerol have been determined for Pt/C and PtMo/C catalysts. While the TOR of PtMo/C is higher than that of Pt/C by about 4 times at comparable conversion, the selectivity to C-O bond cleavage is higher, thus reducing the H-2 yield at high conversion. Under reaction conditions on Pt/C, CO is observed as the most abundant Pt surface species with a fractional coverage of about 0.6 using operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Since there is little CO in the effluent (CO2:CO ratios > 100:1, when CO is detected), it is thought that surface CO is converted to H-2 and CO2 by the water gas shift reaction. DFT calculations suggest that the role of metallic Mo is to alter the electronic properties of Pt lowering the binding energy of CO and reducing the activation energies of dehydrogenation and C-O bond cleavage. Because the activation energy for C-O cleavage is lowered more than for dehydrogenation, the selectivity for C-O bond cleavage is increased, ultimately lowering the H-2 yield compared to Pt/C.

AB Selective, active, and robust catalysts are necessary for the efficient utilization of new feedstocks. Face-selective catalysts can precisely modify catalytic properties, but are often unstable under reaction conditions, changing shape and losing selectivity. Herein we report a method for synthesizing stable heterogeneous catalysts in which the morphology and selectivity can be tuned precisely and predictably. Using nanocrystal supports, we epitaxially stabilize specific active phase morphologies. This changes the distribution of active sites of different coordination, which have correspondingly different catalytic properties. Specifically, we utilize the different interfacial free-energies between perovskite titanate nanocube supports with different crystal lattice dimensions and a platinum active phase. By substituting different sized cations into the support, we change the lattice mismatch between the support and the active phase, thereby changing the interfacial free-energy, and stabilizing the active phase in different morphologies in a predictable manner. We correlate these changes in active phase atomic coordination with changes in catalytic performance (activity and selectivity), using the hydrogenation of acrolein as a test reaction. The method is general and can be applied to many nanocrystal supports and active phase combinations.

AB In the quest for more efficient long-distance power transmission, High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission offers a reliable, cost-effective alternative to HVAC for long distance overhead transmission. Development of stronger, more conductive, and lighter conductor materials could lower HVDC construction costs, reduce energy losses, and increase reliability. In this paper, we describe a new deformation processed Al/Ca composite conductor now in development that has the potential to offer substantially lower density, higher strength, and higher conductivity for HVDC than today's conductor materials. This Al/Ca composite has shown promising early corrosion and elevated temperature performance test results, but additional research is needed to determine its fatigue and creep strengths, as well as its susceptibility to electrotransport phenomena and other factors. The design process, production methods, and physical properties of the new composite conductor are discussed. An economic and thermal analysis of this conductor material is also presented.

AB Background: Seedling germination and survival is a critical control on forest ecosystem boundaries, such as at the alpine-treeline ecotone. In addition, while it is known that species respond individualistically to the same suite of environmental drivers, the potential additional effect of local adaptation on seedling success has not been evaluated.
Aims: To determine whether local adaptation may influence the position and movement of forest ecosystem boundaries, we quantified conifer seedling recruitment in common gardens across a subalpine forest to alpine tundra gradient at Niwot Ridge, Colorado, USA.
Methods: We studied Pinus flexilis and Picea engelmannii grown from seed collected locally at High (3400m a.s.l.) and Low (3060m a.s.l.) elevations. We monitored emergence and survival of seeds sown directly into plots and survival of seedlings germinated indoors and transplanted after snowmelt.
Results: Emergence and survival through the first growing season was greater for P. flexilis than P. engelmannii and for Low compared with High provenances. Yet survival through the second growing season was similar for both species and provenances. Seedling emergence and survival tended to be greatest in the subalpine forest and lowest in the alpine tundra. Survival was greater for transplants than for field-germinated seedlings.
Conclusions: These results suggest that survival through the first few weeks is critical to the establishment of natural germinants. In addition, even small distances between seed sources can have a significant effect on early demographic performance - a factor that has rarely been considered in previous studies of tree recruitment and species range shifts.

AB This paper introduces a new approach for simulating magnetic properties of nanocomposites comprising magnetic particles embedded in a non-magnetic matrix, taking into account the 3D structure of the system in which particles' positions correctly mimic real samples. The proposed approach develops a multistage simulation procedure in which the size and distribution of particles within the hosting matrix is firstly attained by means of the Cell Dynamic System (CDS) model. The 3D structure provided by the CDS step is further employed in a Monte Carlo (MC) simulation of zero-field-cooled/field-cooled (ZFC/FC) and magnetic hysteresis loops (M x H curves) for the system. Simulations are aimed to draw a realistic picture of the as-produced ultra-thin films comprising maghemite nanoparticles dispersed in polyaniline. Comparison (ZFC/FC and M x H curves) between experiments and simulations regarding the maximum of the ZFC curve (T-MAX), remanence (M-R/M-s) and coercivity (H-C) revealed the great accuracy of the multistage approach proposed here while providing information about the system's morphology and magnetic properties. For a typical sample the value we found experimentally for T-MAX (54 K) was very close to the value provided by the simulation (53 K). For the parameters depending on the nanoparticle clustering the experimental values were consistently lower (M-R/M-s = 0.32 and H-C = 210 Oe) than the values we found in the simulation (M-R/M-s = 0.53 and H-C = 274 Oe). Indeed, the approach introduced here is very promising for the design of real magnetic nanocomposite samples with optimized features. (c) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB Scaling exponents for the conductivity and stiffness of replicated microcellular materials exceed commonly predicted values of 1 and 2. We show here that this is caused by the fact that, in replicated microcellular materials, the solid architecture varies with the relative density: a simple derivation based on the physics of powder consolidation returns and explains the observed scaling behaviour. The same derivation also gives an explanation for Archie's law, known to describe the conductivity of wet soils.

AB In waste heat recovery applications, thermoelectric (TE) generators are subjected to thermal gradients and thermal transients, creating mechanical stresses in the TE legs. Such stresses are functions of the elastic moduli of the TE material. For SnTe1 +/- x matrices (where x = 0.0 or 0.016) composite specimens with 0-4 vol% SiC nanoparticle (SiCNP) additions, the elastic moduli (Young's modulus, shear modulus, and Poisson's ratio) were measured by resonant ultrasound spectroscopy from room temperature (RT) to 663 K. The effects of matrix composition and the SiCNP additions on the RT intercepts and the slopes of the elastic modulus as a function of temperature are also discussed.

AB Wake flows downstream of hydrokinetic turbines are characterized by hub and tip vortices, a velocity deficit and an increase in turbulence intensity. Velocity and turbulence recovery in the wakes of individual turbines constrains the density of turbines in an array and limits the amount of energy that can be produced by a turbine farm. However, few hydrokinetic turbine flow recovery studies have been conducted, especially on the far-field flow characteristics. Nor have studies evaluated the accuracy of acoustic Doppler profiler measurements in the wakes of turbines. The present study examines vertical profiles of mean velocity and turbulence, as well as longitudinal profiles of velocity deficit and turbulence levels measured at the symmetry plane of a model three-blade axial flow turbine in a large open channel flow. Mean velocity and turbulence statistics are measured using an acoustic Doppler velocimeter (ADV) and a pulse coherent acoustic Doppler profiler (ADP). ADV and corrected-ADP derived values of mean velocity, turbulence intensity and root-mean-square velocity constitute a well-documented data set that can be used to validate numerical models simulating the effects of hydrokinetic turbine arrays. We found that 80% of the flow recovery occurred about ten diameters downstream from the rotor plane, which suggests that practical values for longitudinal spacing of turbines should be between ten and fifteen diameters. Significant errors observed in mean velocity and turbulence statistics derived from ADP measurements in the near wake region raise concerns on the use of these instruments for such measurements in lab and field studies. Although the cause of some of the errors requires further investigation, we show that errors in turbulence intensity can be successfully corrected with supplemental ADV measurements.

AB The paper reviews the role of sodium in the degradation of PV devices under high voltage stress with the purpose to identify issues still not solved and to introduce a comprehensive method of investigation. If a limited amount of Na diffusion into the CIGS cell structure is beneficial for the cell performance, on the other side when moving in the module structure it could create unpleasant effects, like corrosion and shunts. Soda-lime glass with a concentration of sodium around 13-15% is widely used both as cell substrate and as front layer in PV modules. Glass is not a static material and Na movement is easily activated by different triggering causes (stress, voltage bias, environmental variables). This paper is considered a prelude to further research. For this reason, a methodological approach is outlined, with emphasis on the consideration that PV devices, such as modules, are complex systems of systems. Recalling methodological discussions both in system engineering and in risk analysis, the proposed approach emphasizes the importance to study such complex systems adopting a holistic approach, thus taking into consideration interactions between system components and the surrounding environment. Probabilistic risk analysis (PRA) is suggested as a valid method for representing and understanding the interactions between different system components and environmental factors, while studying system reliability and risks for electricity supply.

AB A Si insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) phase-leg module is developed for operating at 200 degrees C in hybrid electric vehicle applications utilizing the high temperature packaging technologies and appropriate thermal management. The static and switching electrical characteristics of the fabricated power module are tested at various temperatures, showing that the module can operate reliably with increased but acceptable losses at 200 degrees C. The criterion on thermal performance is given to prevent thermal runaway caused by fast increase of the leakage current during a high temperature operation. Afterward, the thermal management system is designed to meet the criterion, the performance of which is evaluated with experiment. Furthermore, two temperature-sensitive electrical parameters, on-state voltage drop and the switching time, are employed for thermal impedance characterization and the junction temperature measurement during converter operation, respectively. Finally, a 10-kW buck converter prototype composed of the module assembly is built and operated at the junction temperature up to 200 degrees C. The experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of operating Si device-based converters continuously at 200 degrees C.

It presents the design motives of single-phase on-board chargers in detail and makes a classification of the chargers based on their future vehicle-to-grid usage. The pros and cons of each different ac-dc topology are discussed to shed light on their suitability for reactive power support. This paper also presents and analyzes the differences between charging-only operation and capacitive reactive power operation that results in increased demand from the dc-link capacitor (more charge/discharge cycles and increased second harmonic ripple current). Moreover, battery state of charge is spared from losses during reactive power operation, but converter output power must be limited below its rated power rating to have the same stress on the dc-link capacitor.

AB A template-free, surfactant-free, simple electrochemical approach has been developed to prepare well-dispersed platinum (Pt) nanosheets. By simply changing the anions from SO42- to Cl- in the electrodeposition solution, the formed Pt deposits is changed from flower-like Pt particles consisting of aggregated Pt nanosheets to well-dispersed Pt nanosheets. The surface morphology and structure of the Pt particles/nanosheets were investigated by the scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The amount of the Pt loading was measured by an inductively coupled plasma method. The electrocatalytic activity of the prepared Pt electrocatalysts for ammonia oxidation was characterized by cyclic voltammetry. The result showed that the well-dispersed Pt nanosheets exhibits 112% and 89% increase in the mass activity (MA) for the ammonia oxidation compared with the flower-like Pt particles and commercial Pt/C catalyst, respectively. The much improved MA of the well-dispersed Pt nanosheets is attributed to not only the increased electrochemically active surface area (ECSA), but also the specific activity (SA). For example, the well-dispersed Pt nanosheets shows 88% increase in the SA compared with the commercial Pt/C catalyst. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB Dissimilatory reduction of sulfite is carried out by the siroheme enzyme DsrAB, with the involvement of the protein DsrC, which has two conserved redox-active cysteines. DsrC was initially believed to be a third subunit of DsrAB. Here, we report a study of the distribution of DsrC in cell extracts to show that, in the model sulfate reducer Desulfovibrio vulgaris, the majority of DsrC is not associated with DsrAB and is thus free to interact with other proteins. In addition, we developed a cysteine-labelling gel-shift assay to monitor the DsrC redox state and behaviour, and procedures to produce the different redox forms. The oxidized state of DsrC with an intramolecular disulfide bond, which is proposed to be a key metabolic intermediate, could be successfully produced for the first time by treatment with arginine.

AB The assembly and enzymatic ability of the replication DNA polymerase holoenzyme from Sulfolobus solfataricus (Sso) was investigated using presteady-state fluorescence resonance energy transfer assays coupled with functional and structural studies. Kinetic experiments reveal that ATP binding to replication factor C (RFC) is sufficient for loading the heterotrimeric PCNA123 [proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA)] clamp onto DNA that includes a rate-limiting conformational rearrangement of the complex. ATP hydrolysis is required for favorable recruitment and interactions with the replication polymerase (PolB1) that most likely include clamp closing and RFC dissociation. Surprisingly, the assembled holoenzyme complex synthesizes DNA distributively and with low processivity, unlike most other well-characterized DNA polymerase holoenzyme complexes. We show that PolB1 repeatedly disengages from the DNA template, leaving PCNA123 behind. Interactions with a newly identified C-terminal PCNA-interacting peptide (PIP) motif on PolB1 specifically with PCNA2 are required for holoenzyme formation and continuous re-recruitment during synthesis. The extended tail-like structure of the C-terminal PIP motif in PolB1 is revealed alone and when bound to DNA using small-angle X-ray scattering allowing us to develop a model for the holoenzyme complex. This is the first detailed kinetic description of clamp loading and holoenzyme assembly in crenarchaea and has revealed a novel mode for dynamic processivity that occurs by a polymerase exchange mechanism. This work has important implications for processive DNA replication synthesis and also suggests a potential mechanism for polymerase switching to bypass lesions. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

TI Heterologous Expression of Mycobacterial Esx Complexes in Escherichia
coli for Structural Studies Is Facilitated by the Use of Maltose Binding

AB The expression of heteroligomeric protein complexes for structural studies often requires a special coexpression strategy. The reason is that the solubility and proper folding of each subunit of the complex requires physical association with other subunits of the complex. The genomes of pathogenic mycobacteria encode many small protein complexes, implicated in bacterial fitness and pathogenicity, whose characterization may be further complicated by insolubility upon expression in Escherichia coli, the most common heterologous protein expression host. As protein fusions have been shown to dramatically affect the solubility of the proteins to which they are fused, we evaluated the ability of maltose binding protein fusions to produce mycobacterial Esx protein complexes. A single plasmid expression strategy using an N-terminal maltose binding protein fusion to the CFP-10 homolog proved effective in producing soluble Esx protein complexes, as determined by a small-scale expression and affinity purification screen, and coupled with intracellular proteolytic cleavage of the maltose binding protein moiety produced protein complexes of sufficient purity for structural studies. In comparison, the expression of complexes with hexahistidine affinity tags alone on the CFP-10 subunits failed to express in amounts sufficient for biochemical characterization. Using this strategy, six mycobacterial Esx complexes were expressed, purified to homogeneity, and subjected to crystallization screening and the crystal structures of the Mycobacterium abscessus EsxEF, M. smegmatis EsxGH, and M. tuberculosis EsxOP complexes were determined. Maltose binding protein fusions are thus an effective method for production of Esx complexes and this strategy may be applicable for production of other protein complexes.

AB Purpose: To assess the dose-response relationships between cause-specific mortality and exercise energy expenditure in a prospective epidemiological cohort of walkers.
Methods: The sample consisted of the 8,436 male and 33,586 female participants of the National Walkers' Health Study. Walking energy expenditure was calculated in metabolic equivalents (METs, 1 MET = 3.5 ml O-2/kg/min), which were used to divide the cohort into four exercise categories: category 1 (<= 1.07 MET-hours/d), category 2 (1.07 to 1.8 MET-hours/d), category 3 (1.8 to 3.6 MET-hours/d), and category 4 (>= 3.6 MET-hours/d). Competing risk regression analyses were use to calculate the risk of mortality for categories 2, 3 and 4 relative to category 1.
Results: 22.9% of the subjects were in category 1, 16.1% in category 2, 33.3% in category 3, and 27.7% in category 4. There were 2,448 deaths during the 9.6 average years of follow-up. Total mortality was 11.2% lower in category 2 (P = 0.04), 32.4% lower in category 3 (P < 10(-12)) and 32.9% lower in category 4 (P = 10(-11)) than in category 1. For underlying causes of death, the respective risk reductions for categories 2, 3 and 4 were 23.6% (P = 0.008), 35.2% (P < 10(-5)), and 34.9% (P = 0.0001) for cardiovascular disease mortality; 27.8% (P = 0.18), 20.6% (P = 0.07), and 31.4% (P = 0.009) for ischemic heart disease mortality; and 39.4% (P = 0.18), 63.8% (P = 0.005), and 90.6% (P = 0.002) for diabetes mortality when compared to category 1. For all related mortality (i.e., underlying and contributing causes of death combined), the respective risk reductions for categories 2, 3 and 4 were 18.7% (P = 0.22), 42.5% (P = 0.001), and 57.5% (P = 0.0001) for heart failure; 9.4% (P = 0.56), 44.3% (P = 0.0004), and 33.5% (P = 0.02) for hypertensive diseases; 11.5% (P = 0.38), 41.0% (P < 10(-4)), and 35.5% (P = 0.001) for dysrhythmias: and 23.2% (P = 0.13), 45.8% (P = 0.0002), and 41.1% (P = 0.005) for cerebrovascular diseases when compared to category 1.
Conclusions: There are substantial health benefits to exceeding the current exercise guidelines.

AB Five methods were used to implement fast gradient separations: constant flow rate, constant column-wall temperature, constant inlet pressure at moderate and high pressures (controlled by a pressure controller), and programmed flow constant pressure. For programmed flow constant pressure, the flow rates and gradient compositions are controlled using input into the method instead of the pressure controller. Minor fluctuations in the inlet pressure do not affect the mobile phase flow rate in programmed flow. The reproducibilities of the retention times, the response factors, and the eluted band width of six successive separations of the same sample (9 components) were measured with different equilibration times between 0 and 15 min. The influence of the length of the equilibration time on these reproducibilities is discussed. The results show that the average column temperature may increase from one separation to the next and that this contributes to fluctuation of the results. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB Conventional Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) relies on closed loop (CL) bias feedback for the determination of surface potential (SP). However, SP measured by CL-KPFM has been shown to be strongly influenced by the choice of measurement parameters due to non-electrostatic contributions to the input signal of the bias feedback loop. This often leads to systematic errors of several hundred mV and can also result in topographical crosstalk. Here, open loop (OL)-KPFM modes are investigated as a means of obtaining a quantitative, crosstalk free measurement of the SP of graphene grown on Cu foil, and are directly contrasted with CL-KPFM. OL-KPFM operation is demonstrated in both single and multi-frequency excitation regimes, yielding quantitative SP measurements. The SP difference between single and multilayer graphene structures using OL-KPFM was found to be 63 +/- 11 mV, consistent with values previously reported by CL-KPFM. Furthermore, the same relative potential difference between Al2O3-coated graphene and Al2O3-coated Cu was observed using both CL and OL techniques. We observed an offset of 55 mV between absolute SP values obtained by OL and CL techniques, which is attributed to the influence of non-electrostatic contributions to the input of the bias feedback used in CL-KPFM.

AB Atomic force microscopy (AFM), conductive AFM and electrochemical strain microscopy were used to study the topography change at the defect surface of SrTiO3:N, breakdown in the electrical conduction of the tip/sample/electrode system and ionic motion. The IV curves show resistance switching behavior in a voltage range +/- 6 V < U < +/- 10 V and a current of maximum +/- 10 nA. A series of sweeping IV curves resulted in an increase in ionically polarized states (surface charging), electrochemical volume (surface deformations) and sequential formations of stable surface protrusions. The surface deformations are reversible (U < +/- 5 V) without IV pinched hysteresis and remained stable during the resistance switching (U > +/- 6 V), revealing the additional necessity (albeit insufficient due to 50% yield of working cells) of surface protrusion formation for resistance switching memory.

AB We study the Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) mixing layer, presenting simulations in agreement with experimental data. This problem is an idealized subproblem of important scientific and engineering problems, such as gravitationally induced mixing in oceanography and performance assessment for inertial confinement fusion. Engineering codes commonly achieve correct simulations through the calibration of adjustable parameters. In this sense, they are interpolative and not predictive. As computational science moves from the interpolative to the predictive and reduces the reliance on experiment, the quality of decision making improves. The diagnosis of errors in a multi-parameter, multi-physics setting is daunting, so we address this issue in the proposed idealized setting. The validation tests presented are thus a test for engineering codes, when used for complex problems containing RT features. The RT growth rate, characterized by a dimensionless but non-universal parameter a, describes the outer edge of the mixing zone. Increasingly accurate front tracking/large eddy simulations reveal the non-universality of the growth rate and agreement with experimental data. Increased mesh resolution allows reduction in the role of key subgrid models. We study the effect of long-wavelength perturbations on the mixing growth rate. A self-similar power law for the initial perturbation amplitudes is here inferred from experimental data. We show a maximum +/-5% effect on the growth rate. Large (factors of 2) effects, as predicted in some models and many simulations, are inconsistent with the experimental data of Youngs and co-authors. The inconsistency of the model lies in the treatment of the dynamics of bubbles, which are the shortest-wavelength modes for this problem. An alternative theory for this shortest wavelength, based on the bubble merger model, was previously shown to be consistent with experimental data.

AB Under-resolved computer simulations are typically unavoidable in practical turbulent flow applications exhibiting extreme geometrical complexity and a broad range of length and time scales. An important unsettled issue is whether filtered-out and subgrid spatial scales can significantly alter the evolution of resolved larger scales of motion and practical flow integral measures. Predictability issues in implicit large eddy simulation of under-resolved mixing of material scalars driven by under-resolved velocity fields and initial conditions are discussed in the context of shock-driven turbulent mixing. The particular focus is on effects of resolved spectral content and interfacial morphology of initial conditions on transitional and late-time turbulent mixing in the fundamental planar shock-tube configuration.

AB A tentative review is presented of various approaches for numerical simulations of two-fluid gaseous mixtures at high density ratios, as they have been applied to the Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI). Systems exhibiting such RTI behaviour extend from atomistic sizes to scales where the continuum approximation becomes valid. Each level of description can fit into a hierarchy of theoretical models and the governing equations appropriate for each model, with their assumptions, are presented. In particular, because the compressible to incompressible limit of the Navier-Stokes equations is not unique and understanding compressibility effects in the RTI critically depends on having the appropriate basis for comparison, two relevant incompressible limits are presented. One of these limits has not been considered before. Recent results from RTI simulations, spanning the levels of description presented, are reviewed in connection to the material mixing problem. Owing to the computational limitations, most in-depth RTI results have been obtained for the incompressible case. Two such results, concerning the asymmetry of the mixing and small-scale anisotropy anomaly, as well as the possibility of a mixing transition in the RTI, are surveyed. New lines for further investigation are suggested and it is hoped that bringing together such diverse levels of description may provide new ideas and increased motivation for studying such flows.

AB The Richtmyer-Meshkov instability is caused by a shock interacting with a density-stratified interface. The mixing of the fluids is driven by vorticity created by the interaction of the density and pressure gradients. Because the flow is shock driven, the ensuing mixing occurs rapidly, making experimental measurements difficult. Over the past 10 years, there have been significant improvements in the experimental techniques used in shock-driven mixing flows. Many of these improvements have been driven by modelling and simulation efforts, and others have been driven by technology. High-resolution measurements of turbulence quantities are needed to advance our understanding of shock-driven flows, and this paper reviews the current state of experimental diagnostics, as well as paths forward in studying shock-driven mixing and turbulence.

AB Three families of "task-specific" antioxidant organic cations that include designated sites to facilitate deprotonation following electronic excitation and ionization have been introduced. The deprotonation from the excited state is reversible, leading to minimal damage of the cation, whereas the deprotonation from the oxidized cation yields persistent aroxyl and trityl radicals. This protection improves radiation stability of ionic compounds in 2.5 MeV electron beam radiolysis. Apart from the use of such cations as structural components of room temperature ionic liquid (IL) diluents for nuclear separations, their ionic compounds involving bases of superacids are well suited for use as chemically amplified acid generator resists in electron beam lithography and extreme ultraviolet photolithography.

AB Molecular dynamics simulations were performed to investigate water extraction into a solution of 30 vol % tri-n-butylphosphate (TBP) in n-dodecane. Our computational results indicate that the TBP electric dipole moment has a significant effect on the predicted water solubility. A larger TBP dipole moment decreases the aqueous organic interfacial tension, leading to increased roughness of the aqueous organic interface. Interfacial roughness disrupts the interfacial water hydrogen bonding structure, resulting in a presence of dangling water molecules at the interface. The increased interfacial roughness enhances the probability of water molecules breaking away from the aqueous phase and migrating into the organic bulk phase. By varying the atomic partial charges of the TBP molecules to reproduce a dipole moment close to the experimentally measured value, we were able to predict water solubility in close agreement with experimental measurements. In addition, our simulation results reveal the detailed molecular mechanism of the water extraction process, and the various structural forms of water molecules both at the interface and in the bulk organic phase.

AB Graph theoretic tools were used to identify and classify clusters of ions and solvent molecules in molecular dynamics simulations of lithium-ion battery electrolytes. Electrolytes composed of various concentrations of LiPF6 dissolved in ethylene carbonate (EC), dimethylene carbonate (DMC), or a 1:1 EC/DMC mixture were simulated at multiple temperatures using classical molecular dynamics. Contrary to Nernst-Einstein theory but consistent with experiment, pure DMC systems had the greatest diffusivity but the lowest conductivity. This disagreement with Nernst-Einstein theory is explained by the observed clustering behavior, which found that systems with pure EC as a solvent formed ion clusters with nonzero charge, whereas systems with pure DMC as a solvent formed primarily neutral clusters.

RIXS spectral features are shown to be informative and diagnostic for the different oxidation states (Ni-II vs Ni-III) and spin states (high spin Ni-II vs low spin Ni-II) in these bioinorganic systems. In addition to the experimental results, multiplet simulation has also been performed to assist in understanding the observed XAS and RIXS features. These results demonstrate the power and complementarity of RIXS in identifying the electronic states for covalent and biorelevant complexes for the first time and pave the way for potential RIXS application to real biological systems.

AB We apply first-principles density-functional theory (DFT) calculations, ab-initio molecular dynamics, and the Kubo-Greenwood formula to predict electrical conductivity in Ta2Ox (0 <= x <= 5) as a function of composition, phase, and temperature, where additional focus is given to various oxidation states of the O monovacancy (V-O(n); n = 0,1+,2+). In the crystalline phase, our DFT calculations suggest that V-O(0) prefers equatorial O sites, while V-O(1+) and V-O(2+) are energetically preferred in the O cap sites of TaO7 polyhedra. Our calculations of DC conductivity at 300 K agree well with experimental measurements taken on Ta2Ox thin films (0.18 <= x <= 4.72) and bulk Ta2O5 powder-sintered pellets, although simulation accuracy can be improved for the most insulating, stoichiometric compositions. Our conductivity calculations and further interrogation of the O-deficient Ta2O5 electronic structure provide further theoretical basis to substantiate V-O(0) as a donor dopant in Ta2O5. Furthermore, this dopant-like behavior is specific to the neutral case and not observed in either the 1+ or 2+ oxidation states, which suggests that reduction and oxidation reactions may effectively act as donor activation and deactivation mechanisms, respectively, for V-O(n) in Ta2O5.

AB We report a study of materials recovered from a uranium-containing plasma generated by an electric arc. The device used to generate the arc is capable of sustaining temperatures of an eV or higher for up to 100 mu s. Samples took the form of a 4 mu m-thick U-238 film deposited onto 8 pairs of 17 mu m-thick Cu electrodes supported on a 25 mu m-thick Kapton backing and sandwiched between glass plates. Materials recovered from the glass plates and around the electrode tips after passage of an arc were characterized using scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Recovered materials included a variety of crystalline compounds (e. g., UO2, UC2, UCu5,) as well as mixtures of uranium and amorphous glass. Most of the materials collected on the glass plates took the form of spherules having a wide range of diameters from tens of nanometers to tens of micrometers. The composition and size of the spherules depended on location, indicating different chemical and physical environments. A theoretical analysis we have carried out suggests that the submicron spherules presumably formed by deposition during the arc discharge, while at the same time the glass plates were strongly heated due to absorption of plasma radiation mainly by islands of deposited metals (Cu, U). The surface temperature of the glass plates is expected to have risen to similar to 2300 K thus producing a liquefied glass layer, likely diffusions of the deposited metals on the hot glass surface and into this layer were accompanied by chemical reactions that gave rise to the observed materials. These results, together with the compact scale and relatively low cost, suggest that the experimental technique provides a practical approach to investigate the complex physical and chemical processes that occur when actinide-containing material interacts with the environment at high temperature, for example, during fallout formation following a nuclear detonation.

AB Ordering-induced effects on dislocations in metallic alloys have been extensively studied due to their importance in technology applications. We demonstrate that dislocation behavior in ordered III-V semiconductor alloys can be drastically different. This is because ordering in bulk metallic alloys is generally stable, whereas the surface-stabilized group-III sublattice ordering of a III-V alloy is only metastable in the bulk. Here, we show that dislocation glide can release some of the energy stored by ordering of III-V alloys, enhancing the glide of any dislocation which cuts through the ordered layers to create an antiphase boundary in the ordering pattern. This leads to an experimentally observed glide-plane switch which is unique to ordered III-V alloys. Implications for other unique strain-relaxation processes in III-V ordered alloys are also discussed. (C) 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.

AB Implicit solvent models are important tools for calculating solvation free energies for chemical and biophysical studies since they require fewer computational resources but can achieve accuracy comparable to that of explicit-solvent models. In past papers, geometric flow-based solvation models have been established for solvation analysis of small and large compounds. In the present work, the use of realistic experiment-based parameter choices for the geometric flow models is studied. We find that the experimental parameters of solvent internal pressure p = 172 MPa and surface tension. gamma = 72 mN/m produce solvation free energies within 1 RT of the global minimum root-mean-squared deviation from experimental data over the expanded set. Our results demonstrate that experimental values can be used for geometric flow solvent model parameters, thus eliminating the need for additional parameterization. We also examine the correlations between optimal values of p and gamma. which are strongly anti-correlated. Geometric analysis of the small molecule test set shows that these results are inter-connected with an approximately linear relationship between area and volume in the range of molecular sizes spanned by the data set. In spite of this considerable degeneracy between the surface tension and pressure terms in the model, both terms are important for the broader applicability of the model. (C) 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.

AB Product formation in the laser-initiated low-temperature (575-700 K) oxidation of n-butane was investigated by using tunable synchrotron photoionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry at low pressure (similar to 4 Torr). Oxidation was triggered either by 351 nm photolysis of Cl-2 and subsequent fast Cl + n-butane reaction or by 248 nm photolysis of 1-iodobutane or 2-iodobutane. Iodobutane photolysis allowed isomer-specific preparation of either n-C4H9 or s-C4H9 radicals. Experiments probed the time-resolved formation of products and identified isomeric species by their photoionization spectra. For stable primary products of butyl + O-2 reactions (e.g., butene or oxygen heterocycles) bimodal time behavior is observed; the initial prompt formation, primarily due to chemical activation, is followed by a slower component arising from the dissociation of thermalized butylperoxy or hydroperoxybutyl radicals. In addition, time-resolved formation of C-4-ketohydroperoxides (C4H8O3, m/z = 104) was observed in the n-C4H9 + O-2 and Cl-initiated oxidation experiments but not in the s-C4H9 + O-2 measurements, suggesting isomeric selectivity in the combined process of the "second" oxygen addition to hydroperoxybutyl radicals and subsequent internal H-abstraction/dissociation leading to ketohydroperoxide + OH. To further constrain product isomer identification, Cl-initiated oxidation experiments were also performed with partially deuterated n-butanes (CD3CH2CH2CD3 and CH3CD2CD2CH3). From these experiments, the relative yields of butene product isomers (cis-2-butene, trans-2-butene, and 1-butene) from C4H8 + HO2 reaction channels and oxygenated product isomers (2,3-dimethyloxirane, 2-methyloxetane, tetrahydrofuran, ethyloxirane, butanal, and butanone) associated with OH formation were determined. The current measurements show substantially different isomeric selectivity for oxygenated products than do recent jet-stirred reactor studies but are in reasonable agreement with measurements from butane addition to reacting H-2/O-2 mixtures at 753 K.

AB The low-pressure-limit unimolecular decomposition of methane, CH4 (+M) reversible arrow CH3 + H (+M), is characterized via low-order moments of the total energy, E, and angular momentum, J, transferred due to collisions. The low-order moments are calculated using ensembles of classical trajectories, with new direct dynamics results for M = H2O and new results for M = O-2 compared with previous results for several typical atomic (M = He, Ne, Ar, Kr) and diatomic (M = H-2 and N-2) bath gases and one polyatomic bath gas, M = CH4. The calculated moments are used to parametrize three different models of the energy transfer function, from which low-pressure-limit rate coefficients for dissociation, k(0), are calculated. Both one-dimensional and two-dimensional collisional energy transfer models are considered. The collision efficiency for M = H2O relative to the other bath gases (defined as the ratio of low-pressure limit rate coefficients) is found to depend on temperature, with, e.g., k(0)(H2O)/k(0)(Ar) = 7 at 2000 K but only 3 at 300 K. We also consider the rotational collision efficiency of the various baths. Water is the only bath gas found to fully equilibrate rotations, and only at temperatures below 1000 K. At elevated temperatures, the kinetic effect of "weak-collider-in-J" collisions is found to be small. At room temperature, however, the use of an explicitly two-dimensional master equation model that includes weak-collider-in-J effects predicts smaller rate coefficients by 50% relative to the use of a statistical model for rotations. The accuracies of several methods for predicting relative collision efficiencies that do not require solving the master equation and that are based on the calculated low-order moments are tested. Troe's weak collider efficiency, beta(c), includes the effect of saturation of collision outcomes above threshold and accurately predicts the relative collision efficiencies of the nine baths. Finally, a brief discussion is presented of mechanistic details of the energy transfer process, as inferred from the trajectories.

AB Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics (CPMD) simulations have been used to examine the hydration structures, coordination energetics, and the first hydrolysis constants of Pu3+, Pu4+, PuO2+, and PuO22+ ions in aqueous solution at 300 K. The coordination numbers and structural properties of the first shell of these ions are in good agreement with available experimental estimates. The hexavalent PuO22+ species is coordinated to five aquo ligands while the pentavalent PuO2+ complex is coordinated to four aquo ligands. The Pu3+ and Pu4+ ions are both coordinated to eight water molecules. The first hydrolysis constants obtained for Pu3+ and PuO22+ are 6.65 and 5.70, respectively, all within 0.3 pH unit of the experimental values (6.90 and 5.50, respectively). The hydrolysis constant of Pu4+, 0.17, disagrees with the value of -0.60 in the most recent update of the Nuclear Energy Agency Thermochemical Database (NEA-TDB) but supports recent experimental findings. The hydrolysis constant of PuO2+, 9.51, supports the experimental results of Bennett et al. [Radiochim. Acta 1992, 56, 15]. A correlation between the pK(a) of the first hydrolysis reaction and the effective charge of the plutonium center was found.

AB Aerosols containing aliphatic hydrocarbons play a substantial role in the urban atmosphere. Cyclic alkanes constitute a large fraction of aliphatic hydrocarbon emissions originating from incomplete combustion of diesel fuel and motor oil. In the present study, cholestane (C27H48) is used as a model system to examine the OH-initiated heterogeneous oxidation pathways of cyclic alkanes in a photochemical flow tube reactor. Oxidation products are collected on filters and analyzed by a novel soft ionization two-dimensional gas chromatography/mass spectrometry technique. The analysis reveals that the first-generation functionalization products (cholestanones, cholestanals, and cholestanols) are the dominant reaction products that account for up to 70% by mass of the total speciated compounds. The ratio of first-generation carbonyls to alcohols is near unity at every oxidation level. Among the cholestanones/cholestanals, 55% are found to have the carbonyl group on the rings of the androstane skeleton, while 74% of cholestanols have the hydroxyl group on the rings. Particle-phase oxidation products with carbon numbers less than 27 (i.e., "fragmentation products") and higher-generation functionalization products are much less abundant. Carbon bond cleavage was found to occur only on the side chain. Tertiary-carbon alkoxy radicals are suggested to play an important role in governing both the distribution of functionalization products (via alkoxy radical isomerization and reaction with oxygen) and the fragmentation products (via alkoxy radical decomposition). These results provide new insights into the oxidation mechanism of cyclic alkanes.

AB Development and optimization of novel species-specific microsatellites, or simple sequence repeats (SSRs) remains an important step for studies in ecology, evolution, and behavior. Numerous approaches exist for identifying new SSRs that vary widely in terms of both time and cost investments. A recent approach of using paired-end Illumina sequence data in conjunction with the bioinformatics pipeline, PAL_FINDER, has the potential to substantially reduce the cost and labor investment while also improving efficiency. However, it does not appear that the approach has been widely adopted, perhaps due to concerns over its broad applicability across taxa. Therefore, to validate the utility of the approach we developed SSRs for 32 species representing 30 families, 25 orders, 11 classes, and six phyla and optimized SSRs for 13 of the species. Overall the IPE method worked extremely well and we identified 1000s of SSRs for all species (mean = 128,485), with 17% of loci being potentially amplifiable loci, and 25% of these met our most stringent criteria designed to that avoid SSRs associated with repetitive elements. Approximately 61% of screened primers yielded strong amplification of a single locus.

AB Lithium iron double aryloxides ([Li3Fe(OAr)(4)]) were synthesized, characterized, and investigated for use as precursors to LiFeO2 nanomaterials. From the reaction of iron mesityl, two equivalents of lithium bis(trimethylsilyl) amide, and a series of monosubstituted [HOC6H4(R)-2 where R = CH3 (oMP), CH(CH3)(2) (oPP), C(CH3)(3) (oBP)] or disubstituted [HOC6H3(R)(2)-2,6 where R = CH3 (DMP), CH(CH3)(2) (DIP), C(CH3)(3) (DBP), C6H5 (DPhP)] aryl alcohols (H-OAr) in tetrahydrofuran (THF) or pyridine (py) were isolated. The mixed-cation Li-Fe precursors that were successfully isolated from this reaction were crystallographically identified as the double aryloxides [Fe((mu-OAr)(2)Li(solv)(2))(2)] (OAF = oPP: solv = THF (1), py (2); DMP/THF (3)) and the unusual salt [Li(THF)(4)][Fe(DBP)(3)] (4). For the other OAr/solvent systems investigated, previously published Li or Fe alkoxide compounds or oils were isolated. Compounds 1-4 were further characterized using a variety of analytical methods but the paramagnetic nature of the Fe prevented NMR analyses. The mixed-cation precursors were used for production of nanomaterials following a solvothermal route using dioxane (in place of THF) or pyridine as the solvent. The final materials generated were characterized as the substituted lithium iron oxide structure (LiFeO2; PDF 01-073-6306). Attempts to cycle the Li in these materials failed to demonstrate appreciable mobile capacity at reasonable potentials; however, a capacity of 87 mAh/g that quickly faded during cycling was observed at very low potentials (start: similar to 0.6 V; end: 0.5 V versus Li).

AB The increase in atmospheric concentrations of water vapor with global warming is a large positive feedback in the climate system. Thus, even relatively small errors in its magnitude can lead to large uncertainties in predicting climate response to anthropogenic forcing. This study incorporates observed variability of water vapor over 2002-2009 from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder instrument into a radiative transfer scheme to provide constraints on this feedback. We derive a short-term water vapor feedback of 2.2 0.4 Wm(-2)K(-1). Based on the relationship between feedback derived over short and long timescales in twentieth century simulations of 14 climate models, we estimate a range of likely values for the long-term twentieth century water vapor feedback of 1.9 to 2.8 Wm(-2)K(-1). We use the twentieth century simulations to determine the record length necessary for the short-term feedback to approach the long-term value. In most of the climate models we analyze, the short-term feedback converges to within 15% of its long-term value after 25 years, implying that a longer observational record is necessary to accurately estimate the water vapor feedback.

AB Background: Single cell genomics has revolutionized microbial sequencing, but complete coverage of genomes in complex microbiomes is imperfect due to enormous variation in organismal abundance and amplification bias. Empirical methods that complement rapidly improving bioinformatic tools will improve characterization of microbiomes and facilitate better genome coverage for low abundance microbes.
Methods: We describe a new approach to sequencing individual species from microbiomes that combines antibody phage display against intact bacteria with fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS). Single chain (scFv) antibodies are selected using phage display against a bacteria or microbial community, resulting in species-specific antibodies that can be used in FACS for relative quantification of an organism in a community, as well as enrichment or depletion prior to genome sequencing.
Results: We selected antibodies against Lactobacillus acidophilus and demonstrate a FACS-based approach for identification and enrichment of the organism from both laboratory-cultured and commercially derived bacterial mixtures. The ability to selectively enrich for L. acidophilus when it is present at a very low abundance (<0.2%) leads to complete (>99.8%) de novo genome coverage whereas the standard single-cell sequencing approach is incomplete (<68%). We show that specific antibodies can be selected against L. acidophilus when the monoculture is used as antigen as well as when a community of 10 closely related species is used demonstrating that in principal antibodies can be generated against individual organisms within microbial communities.
Conclusions: The approach presented here demonstrates that phage-selected antibodies against bacteria enable identification, enrichment of rare species, and depletion of abundant organisms making it tractable to virtually any microbe or microbial community. Combining antibody specificity with FACS provides a new approach for characterizing and manipulating microbial communities prior to genome sequencing.

AB A cobalt-sulfide (Co-S) film prepared via electrochemical deposition on conductive substrates is shown to behave as an efficient and robust catalyst for electrochemical and photoelectrochemical hydrogen generation from neutral pH water. Electrochemical experiments demonstrate that the film exhibits a low catalytic onset overpotential (eta) of 43 mV, a Tafel slope of 93 mV/dec, and near 100% Faradaic efficiency in pH 7 phosphate buffer. Catalytic current densities can approach 50 mA/cm(2) and activity is maintained for at least 40 h. The catalyst can also be electrochemically coated on silicon, rendering a water-compatible photoelectrochemical system for hydrogen production under simulated 1 sun illumination. The facile preparation of this Co-S film, along with its low overpotential, high activity, and long-term aqueous stability, offer promising features for potential use in solar energy applications.

AB A key stage in HIV-1 maturation toward an infectious virion requires sequential proteolytic cleavage of the Gag polyprotein leading to the formation of a conical capsid core that encloses the viral RNA genome and a small complement of proteins. The final step of this process involves severing the SP1 peptide from the CA-SP1 maturation intermediate, which triggers the condensation of the CA protein into the capsid shell. The details of the overall mechanism, including the conformation of the SP1 peptide in CA-SP1, are still under intense debate. In this report, we examine tubular assemblies of CA and the CA-SP1 maturation intermediate using magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectroscopy. At magnetic fields of 19.9 T and above, outstanding quality 2D and 3D MAS NMR spectra were obtained for tubular CA and CA-SP1 assemblies, permitting resonance assignments for subsequent detailed structural characterization. Dipolar- and scalar-based correlation experiments unequivocally indicate that SP1 peptide is in a random coil conformation and mobile in the assembled CA-SP1. Analysis of two CA protein sequence variants reveals that, unexpectedly, the conformations of the SP1 tail, the functionally important CypA loop, and the loop preceding helix 8 are modulated by residue variations at distal sites. These findings provide support for the role of SP1 as a trigger of the disassembly of the immature CA capsid for its subsequent de novo reassembly into mature cores and establish the importance of sequence-dependent conformational plasticity in CA assembly.

AB Some organic cage molecules have structures with protected, internal pore volume that cannot be in-filled, irrespective of the solid-state packing mode: that is, they are intrinsically porous. Amorphous packings can give higher pore volumes than crystalline packings for these materials, but the precise nature of this additional porosity is hard to understand for disordered solids that cannot be characterized by X-ray diffraction. We describe here a computational methodology for generating structural models of amorphous porous organic cages that are consistent with experimental data. Molecular dynamics simulations rationalize the observed gas selectivity in these amorphous solids and lead to insights regarding self-diffusivities, gas diffusion trajectories, and gas hopping mechanisms. These methods might be suitable for the de novo design of new amorphous porous solids for specific applications, where "rigid host" approximations are not applicable.

AB The self-assembly of well-defined 2D supramolecular polymers in solution has been a challenge in supramolecular chemistry. We have designed and synthesized a rigid stacking-forbidden 1,3,5-triphenylbenzene compound that bears three 4,4'-bipyridin-1-ium (BP) units on the peripheral benzene rings. Three hydrophilic bis(2-hydroxyethyl)carbamoyl groups are introduced to the central benzene ring to suppress 1D stacking of the triangular backbone and to ensure solubility in water. Mixing the triangular preorganized molecule with cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) in a 2:3 molar ratio in water leads to the formation of the first solution-phase single-layer 2D supramolecular organic framework, which is stabilized by the strong complexation of CB[8] with two BP units of adjacent molecules. The periodic honeycomb 2D framework has been characterized by various H-1 NMR spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, X-ray diffraction and scattering, scanning probe and electron microscope techniques and by comparing with the self-assembled structures of the control systems.

AB We report quantifying the strengths of different types of hydrogen bonds in hydrogen-bond networks (HBNs) via measurement of the adiabatic electron detachment energy of the conjugate base of a small covalent polyol model compound (i.e., (HOCH2CH2CH(OH)CH2)(2)CHOH) in the gas phase and the pK(a) of the corresponding acid in DMSO. The latter result reveals that the hydrogen bonds to the charged center and those that are one solvation shell further away (i.e., primary and secondary) provide 5.3 and 2.5 pK(a) units of stabilization per hydrogen bond in DMSO. Computations indicate that these energies increase to 8.4 and 3.9 pK(a) units in benzene and that the total stabilizations are 16 (DMSO) and 25 (benzene) pK(a) units. Calculations on a larger linear heptaol (i.e., (HOCH2CH2CH(OH)CH2CH(OH)CH2)(2)CHOH) reveal that the terminal hydroxyl groups each contribute 0.6 pK(a) units of stabilization in DMSO and 1.1 pK(a) units in benzene. All of these results taken together indicate that the presence of a charged center can provide a powerful energetic driving force for enzyme catalysis and conformational changes such as in protein folding due to multiple hydrogen bonds in a HBN.

AB Filamentation due to the growth of a Weibel-type instability was observed in the interaction of a pair of counterstreaming, ablatively driven plasma flows, in a supersonic, collisionless regime relevant to astrophysical collisionless shocks. The flows were created by irradiating a pair of opposing plastic (CH) foils with 1.8 kJ, 2-ns laser pulses on the OMEGA EP Laser System. Ultrafast laser-driven proton radiography was used to image the Weibel-generated electromagnetic fields. The experimental observations are in good agreement with the analytical theory of the Weibel instability and with particle-in-cell simulations.

AB The relationship between antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations and superconductivity has become a central topic of research in studies of superconductivity in the iron pnictides. We present unambiguous evidence of the absence of magnetic fluctuations in the nonsuperconducting collapsed tetragonal phase of CaFe2As2 via inelastic neutron scattering time-of-flight data, which is consistent with the view that spin fluctuations are a necessary ingredient for unconventional superconductivity in the iron pnictides. We demonstrate that the collapsed tetragonal phase of CaFe2As2 is nonmagnetic, and discuss this result in light of recent reports of high-temperature superconductivity in the collapsed tetragonal phase of closely related compounds.

TI Improved Determination of the Neutron Lifetime
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS
LA English
DT Article
ID (LIF)-LI-6 REFERENCE DEPOSITS; B-10; TRAP
AB The most precise determination of the neutron lifetime using the beam method was completed in 2005 and reported a result of tau(n) = 886.3 +/- 1.2 [stat] +/- 3.2 [syst]) s. The dominant uncertainties were attributed to the absolute determination of the fluence of the neutron beam (2.7 s). The fluence was measured with a neutron monitor that counted the neutron-induced charged particles from absorption in a thin, well-characterized Li-6 deposit. The detection efficiency of the monitor was calculated from the areal density of the deposit, the detector solid angle, and the evaluated nuclear data file, ENDF/B-VI Li-6(n,t)(4) He thermal neutron cross section. In the current work, we measure the detection efficiency of the same monitor used in the neutron lifetime measurement with a second, totally absorbing neutron detector. This direct approach does not rely on the Li-6(n, t)(4); He cross section or any other nuclear data. The detection efficiency is consistent with the value used in 2005 but is measured with a precision of 0.057%, which represents a fivefold improvement in the uncertainty. We verify the temporal stability of the neutron monitor through ancillary measurements, allowing us to apply the measured neutron monitor efficiency to the lifetime result from the 2005 experiment. The updated lifetime is tau n = d887: 7 +/- 1.2 stat +/- 1: 9[(syst]) s.

DT Article
ID EFFECTIVE-FIELD THEORY; CORE-SHELL-MODEL; POLARIZATION MEASUREMENTS;
HAMILTONIANS; C-12
AB We extend the ab initio no-core shell model/resonating-group method to include three-nucleon (3N) interactions for the description of nucleon-nucleus collisions. We outline the formalism, give algebraic expressions for the 3N-force integration kernels, and discuss computational aspects of two alternative implementations. The extended theoretical framework is then applied to nucleon-He-4 elastic scattering using similarity-renormalization-group (SRG)-evolved nucleon-nucleon plus 3N potentials derived from chiral effective field theory. We analyze the convergence properties of the calculated phase shifts and explore their dependence upon the SRG evolution parameter. We include up to six excited states of the He-4 target and find significant effects from the inclusion of the chiral 3N force, e. g., it enhances the spin-orbit splitting between the 3/2(-) and 1/2(-) resonances and leads to an improved agreement with the phase shifts obtained from an accurate R-matrix analysis of the five-nucleon experimental data. We find remarkably good agreement with measured differential cross sections at various energies below the d-H-3 threshold, while analyzing powers manifest larger deviations from experiment for certain energies and angles.

AB Proton-unbound excited states of S-31 have been populated with the S-32(d, t)S-31 reaction at a beam energy of 24 MeV. Tritons corresponding to S-31 states with E-x(S-31) approximate to 6.3-7.1 MeV were momentum analyzed with a high resolution quadrupole-dipole-dipole-dipole (Q3D) magnetic spectrograph at six angles ranging from theta(lab) = 15 degrees to 58.5 degrees. We report a statistically significant detection of an astrophysically important state at E-x(S-31) = 6402 (2) keV, whose existence as a third state in this region has been under debate. Using updated A = 31 nuclear structure information, we present a new set of proposed S-31-P-31 mirror assignments for 31S, in which this state is tentatively assigned a spin of 7/2. This level, corresponding to a P-30 + p resonance at 271 keV, is likely to have a significant influence on the P-30(p, gamma)S-31 reaction rate in explosive hydrogen burning in classical novae.

AB We derive bounds on squark and slepton masses in mini-split supersymmetry scenario using low energy experiments. In this setup gauginos are at the TeV scale, while sfermions are heavier by a loop factor. We cover the most sensitive low energy probes including electric dipole moments (EDMs), meson oscillations and charged lepton flavor violation (LFV) transitions. A leading log resummation of the large logs of gluino to sfermion mass ratio is performed. A sensitivity to PeV squark masses is obtained at present from kaon mixing measurements. A number of observables, including neutron EDMs, mu to e transitions and charmed meson mixing, will start probing sfermion masses in the 100 TeV-1000 TeV range with the projected improvements in the experimental sensitivities. We also discuss the implications of our results for a variety of models that address the flavor hierarchy of quarks and leptons. We find that EDM searches will be a robust probe of models in which fermion masses are generated radiatively, while LFV searches remain sensitive to simple-texture based flavor models.

AB Organic semiconductors have the unique ability to conduct both ionic and electronic charge carriers in thin films, an emerging advantage in applications such as light. emitting devices, transistors, and electrochromic devices, among others. Evidence suggests that the profiles of ions and electrochemical doping in the polymer film during operation significantly impact the performance and stability of the device. However, few studies have directly characterized ion profiles within LECs. Here, we present an in-depth study of the profiles of ion distributions in LECs following application of voltage, via time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry. Ion distributions were characterized with regard to film thickness, salt concentration, applied voltage, and relaxation over time. Results provide insight into the correlation between ion profiles and device performance, as well as potential approaches to tuning the electrochemical doping processes in LECs.

AB Through thermally annealing well-arrayed, circular, nanoscale thin films of gold, deposited onto [111] silicon/silicon dioxide substrates, both solid and hollow gold particles of different morphologies with controllable sizes were obtained. The circular thin films formed individual particles or clusters of particles by tuning their diameter. Hollow gold particles were characterized by their diameter, typically larger than 400 nm; these dimensions and properties were confirmed by cross-section scanning electron microscopy. Hollow gold particles also exhibited plasmonic field enhancement under photoemission electron microscopy. Potential growth mechanisms for these structures were explored.

AB The synthesis of Au-MoS2 nanocomposite thin films and the evolution of their structures during film growth, in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) heating, and sliding contact were investigated. TEM revealed that the films deposited at ambient (room) temperature (RT) consisted of 2-4 nm size Au particles in a matrix of MoS2. With increasing growth temperatures, the nanocomposite film exhibited structural changes: the Au nanoparticles coarsened by diffusion-driven Ostwald ripening to 5-10 nm size and the MoS2 basal planes encapsulated the Au nanoparticles thereby forming a solid Au-core MoS2 structure. However, when the RT deposited film was heated inside the TEM, the highly ordered MoS2 basal planes did not encapsulate the Au, suggesting that MoS2 surface diffusivity during film growth is different than MoS2 bulk diffusion. Increases in MoS2, crystallinity and coarsening of Au nanoparticles (up to 10 nm at 600 degrees C) were observed during in situ TEM heating of the RT deposited film. Sliding contact during friction and wear tests resulted in a pressure-induced reorientation of MoS2 basal planes parallel to the sliding direction. The subsurface coarsened Au nanoparticles also provide an underlying load support allowing shear of surface MoS2 basal planes.

AB Using a unique oblique angle co-deposition technique, well-aligned arrays of Ag nanoparticle embedded TiO2 composite nanorods have been fabricated with different concentrations of Ag. The structural, optical, and photocatalytic properties of the composite nanostructures are investigated using a variety of experimental techniques and compared with those of pure TiO2 nanorods fabricated similarly. Ag nanoparticles are formed in the composite nanorods, which increase the visible light absorbance due to localized surface plasmon resonance. The Ag concentrations and the annealing conditions are found to affect the size and the density of Ag nanoparticles and their optical properties. The Ag nanoparticle embedded TiO2, nanostructures exhibit enhanced photocatalytic activity compared to pure TiO2, under visible- or UV-light illumination. Ag plays different roles in assisting the photocatalysis with different light sources. Ag can be excited and can inject electrons to TiO2, working as an electron donor under visible light. While under UV illumination, Ag acts as an electron acceptor to trap the photogenerated electrons in TiO2. Due to the opposite electron transfer direction under UV and visible light, the presence of Ag may not result in a greater enhancement in the photocatalytic performance.

AB The silica support of a Co-based catalyst for Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis was modified by the chelating agents (CAs) nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). After the modification, characterization of the fresh and spent catalysts shows reduced crystallite sizes, a better-dispersed Co3O4 phase on the calcined samples, and increased metal dispersions for the reduced samples. The CA-modified catalysts display higher CO conversions, product yields, reaction rates, and rate constants. The improved FT performance of CA-modified catalysts is attributed to the formation of stable complexes with Co. The superior performance of the EDTA-modified catalyst in comparison to the NTA-modified catalyst is due to the higher affinity of the former for complex formation with Co ions.

AB We report the results of neutron elastic-scattering measurements made between -250 degrees C and 620 degrees C on the lead-free relaxor (Na1/2Bi1/2)TiO3 (NBT). Strong, anisotropic, elastic diffuse scattering intensity decorates the (100), (110), (111), (200), (210), and (220) Bragg peaks at room temperature. The wave-vector dependence of this diffuse scattering is compared to that in the lead-based relaxor Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O-3 (PMN) to determine if any features might be common to relaxors. Prominent ridges in the elastic diffuse scattering intensity contours that extend along < 110 > are seen that exhibit the same zone dependence as those observed in PMN and other lead-based relaxors. These ridges disappear gradually on heating above the cubic-to-tetragonal phase transition temperature T-CT = 523 degrees C, which is also near the temperature at which the dielectric permittivity begins to deviate from Curie-Weiss behavior. We thus identify the < 110 >-oriented ridges as a relaxor-specific property. The diffuse scattering contours also display narrower ridges oriented along < 100 > that are consistent with the x-ray results of Kreisel et al. [Phys. Rev. B 68, 014113 (2003)]; these vanish near 320 degrees C, indicating that they have a different physical origin. The < 100 >-oriented ridges are not observed in PMN. We observe no equivalent relaxor-specific elastic diffuse scattering from the homovalent relaxor analogues K0.95Li0.05TiO3 (A-site disordered) and KTa0.95Nb0.05O3 (B-site disordered). This suggests that the < 110 >-oriented diffuse scattering ridges are correlated with the presence of strong random electric fields and invites a reassessment of what defines the relaxor phase. We find that doping NBT with 5.6% BaTiO3, a composition close to the morphotropic phase boundary with enhanced piezoelectric properties, increases the room-temperature correlation length along [1 (1) over bar0] from 40 to 60 angstrom while doubling the associated integrated diffuse scattering. Similar behavior was reported by Matsuura et al. [Phys. Rev. B 74, 144107 (2006)] for morphotropic compositions of PMN doped with PbTiO3. Finally, we comment on the recent observation of monoclinicity in NBT at room temperature by placing a strict bound on the strength of the (1/2 1/2 1/2) superlattice reflection associated with the Cc space group based on the atomic coordinates published in the x-ray study by Aksel et al. [Appl. Phys. Lett. 98, 152901 (2011)] for NBT. We show that a skin effect, analogous to that reported in the relaxors PZN-xPT and PMN-xPT, can reconcile our neutron single-crystal data with the x-ray powder data of Aksel et al. [Appl. Phys. Lett. 98, 152901 (2011)]. Our finding of a skin effect in a lead-free, A-site disordered, heterovalent relaxor supports the idea that it arises in the presence of strong random electric fields.

AB Currently, significant research efforts are geared towards using carbon-based materials for electronic applications. Here we report the observation of magnetic ordering of implanted Mn in HOPG substrates. Superconducting quantum interference device measurements show higher moments for Mn-doped samples and also the existence of double and inverted hysteresis in both undoped and doped samples. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy shows the presence of nanocrystals in implanted samples. Grazing incidence synchrotron x-ray diffraction studies show the presence of three stable manganese carbides, including antiferromagnetic Mn23C6. X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) measurements show ferromagnetic ordering of Mn moments at temperatures below similar to 100 K. However, a very weak XMCD signal indicates that only about 1% of Mn atoms are ferromagnetically ordered. We conclude that the observed Mn ferromagnetic ordering is caused by uncompensated Mn moments on the surface of antiferromagnetic Mn23C6 nanocrystals that are aligned by the local magnetic field.

TI Low-energy planar magnetic defects in BaFe2As2: Nanotwins, twins,
antiphase, and domain boundaries
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B
LA English
DT Article
ID SUPERCONDUCTIVITY; PNICTIDES
AB In BaFe2As2, structural and magnetic planar defects begin to proliferate below the structural phase transition, affecting descriptions of magnetism and superconductivity. We study, using density-functional theory, the stability and magnetic properties of competing antiphase and domain boundaries, twins and isolated nanotwins (twin nuclei), and spin excitations proposed and/or observed. These nanoscale defects have a very low surface energy (22-210 m Jm(-2)), with twins favorable to the mesoscale. Defects exhibit smaller moments confined near their boundaries-making a uniform-moment picture inappropriate for long-range magnetic order in real samples. Nanotwins explain features in measured pair distribution functions so should be considered when analyzing scattering data. All these defects can be weakly mobile and/or can have fluctuations that lower assessed "ordered" moments from longer spatial and/or time averaging and should be considered directly.

AB Using realistic multiorbital tight-binding Hamiltonians and the T -matrix formalism, we explore the effects of a nonmagnetic impurity on the local density of states in Fe-based compounds. We show that scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) has very specific anisotropic signatures that track the evolution of orbital splitting (OS) and antiferromagnetic gaps. Both anisotropies exhibit two patterns that split in energy with decreasing temperature, but for OS these two patterns map onto each other under 90 degrees rotation. STS experiments that observe these signatures should expose the underlying magnetic and orbital order as a function of temperature across various phase transitions.

SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B

DT Article
ID SPIN-REORIENTATION TRANSITIONS; SCATTERING; SUPERCONDUCTORS;
TEMPERATURE; HEAT
AB Neutron and synchrotron resonant x-ray magnetic scattering (RXMS) complemented by heat capacity and resistivity measurements reveal the evolution of the magnetic structures of Fe and Ce sublattices in a CeFeAsO single crystal. The RXMS of magnetic reflections at the Ce L-II edge shows a magnetic transition that is specific to the Ce antiferromagnetic long-range ordering at T-Ce approximate to 4 K with short-range Ce ordering above T-Ce, whereas neutron diffraction measurements of a few magnetic reflections indicate a transition at T* approximate to 12 K with an unusual order parameter. Detailed order-parameter measurements on several magnetic reflections by neutrons show a weak anomaly at 4 K that we associate with the Ce ordering. The successive transitions at T-Ce and T* can also be clearly identified by two anomalies in heat capacity and resistivity measurements. The higher transition temperature at T* approximate to 12 K is mainly ascribed to Fe spin reorientation transition, below which Fe spins rotate uniformly and gradually in the ab plane. The Fe spin reorientation transition and short-range Ce ordering above T-Ce reflect the strong Fe-Ce couplings prior to long-range ordering of the Ce. The evolution of the intricate magnetic structures in CeFeAsO going through T* and T-Ce is proposed.

DT Article
AB An rf Wien filter (WF) can be used in a storage ring to measure a particle's electric dipole moment (EDM). If the WF frequency equals the spin precession frequency without WF, and the oscillating WF fields are chosen so that the corresponding transverse Lorentz force equals zero, then a large source of systematic errors is canceled but the EDM signal is not. This effect, discovered by simulation, can be called the "partially frozen spin'' effect.

AB We present in vivo images of the human brain acquired with an ultralow field MRI (ULFMRI) system operating at a magnetic field B-0 similar to 130 mu T. The system features prepolarization of the proton spins at B-p similar to 80 mT and detection of the NMR signals with a superconducting, second-derivative gradiometer inductively coupled to a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID). We report measurements of the longitudinal relaxation time T-1 of brain tissue, blood, and scalp fat at B-0 and Bp, and cerebrospinal fluid at B-0. We use these T-1 values to construct inversion recovery sequences that we combine with Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill echo trains to obtain images in which one species can be nulled and another species emphasized. In particular, we show an image in which only blood is visible. Such techniques greatly enhance the already high intrinsic T-1 contrast obtainable at ULF. We further present 2D images of T-1 and the transverse relaxation time T-2 of the brain and show that, as expected at ULF, they exhibit similar contrast. Applications of brain ULFMRI include integration with systems for magnetoencephalography. More generally, these techniques may be applicable, for example, to the imaging of tumors without the need for a contrast agent and to modalities recently demonstrated with T-1. contrast imaging (T-1 in the rotating frame) at fields of 1.5 T and above.

AB Amyloid formation is implicated in more than 20 human diseases, yet the mechanism by which fibrils form is not well understood. We use 2D infrared spectroscopy and isotope labeling to monitor the kinetics of fibril formation by human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP or amylin) that is associated with type 2 diabetes. We find that an oligomeric intermediate forms during the lag phase with parallel beta-sheet structure in a region that is ultimately a partially disordered loop in the fibril. We confirm the presence of this intermediate, using a set of homologous macrocyclic peptides designed to recognize beta-sheets. Mutations and molecular dynamics simulations indicate that the intermediate is on pathway. Disrupting the oligomeric beta-sheet to form the partially disordered loop of the fibrils creates a free energy barrier that is the origin of the lag phase during aggregation. These results help rationalize a wide range of previous fragment and mutation studies including mutations in other species that prevent the formation of amyloid plaques.

AB Changes in global (ocean and land) precipitation are among the most important and least well-understood consequences of climate change. Increasing greenhouse gas concentrations are thought to affect the zonal-mean distribution of precipitation through two basic mechanisms. First, increasing temperatures will lead to an intensification of the hydrological cycle ("thermodynamic" changes). Second, changes in atmospheric circulation patterns will lead to poleward displacement of the storm tracks and subtropical dry zones and to a widening of the tropical belt ("dynamic" changes). We demonstrate that both these changes are occurring simultaneously in global precipitation, that this behavior cannot be explained by internal variability alone, and that external influences are responsible for the observed precipitation changes. Whereas existing model experiments are not of sufficient length to differentiate between natural and anthropogenic forcing terms at the 95% confidence level, we present evidence that the observed trends result from human activities.

AB Meiotic recombination rates can vary widely across genomes, with hotspots of intense activity interspersed among cold regions. In yeast, hotspots tend to occur in promoter regions of genes, whereas in humans and mice, hotspots are largely defined by binding sites of the positive- regulatory domain zinc finger protein 9. To investigate the detailed recombination pattern in a flowering plant, we use shotgun resequencing of a wild population of the monkeyflower Mimulus guttatus to precisely locate over 400,000 boundaries of historic crossovers or gene conversion tracts. Their distribution defines some 13,000 hotspots of varying strengths, interspersed with cold regions of undetectably low recombination. Average recombination rates peak near starts of genes and fall off sharply, exhibiting polarity. Within genes, recombination tracts are more likely to terminate in exons than in introns. The general pattern is similar to that observed in yeast, as well as in positiveregulatory domain zinc finger protein 9- knockout mice, suggesting that recombination initiation described here in Mimulus may reflect ancient and conserved eukaryotic mechanisms.

PRECIPITATION; SIMULATIONS; RAIN; PARAMETERIZATION; INTENSIFICATION
AB Deep convective clouds (DCCs) play a crucial role in the general circulation, energy, and hydrological cycle of our climate system. Aerosol particles can influence DCCs by altering cloud properties, precipitation regimes, and radiation balance. Previous studies reported both invigoration and suppression of DCCs by aerosols, but few were concerned with the whole life cycle of DCC. By conducting multiple monthlong cloud-resolving simulations with spectral-bin cloud microphysics that capture the observed macrophysical and microphysical properties of summer convective clouds and precipitation in the tropics and midlatitudes, this study provides a comprehensive view of how aerosols affect cloud cover, cloud top height, and radiative forcing. We found that although the widely accepted theory of DCC invigoration due to aerosol's thermodynamic effect (additional latent heat release from freezing of greater amount of cloud water) may work during the growing stage, it is microphysical effect influenced by aerosols that drives the dramatic increase in cloud cover, cloud top height, and cloud thickness at the mature and dissipation stages by inducing larger amounts of smaller but longer-lasting ice particles in the stratiform/anvils of DCCs, even when thermodynamic invigoration of convection is absent. The thermodynamic invigoration effect contributes up to similar to 27% of total increase in cloud cover. The overall aerosol indirect effect is an atmospheric radiative warming (3-5 W u m-2) and a surface cooling (-5 to -8 W center dot m(-)(2)). The modeling findings are confirmed by the analyses of ample measurements made at three sites of distinctly different environments.

AB In the 1.9 angstrom structural model of photosystem II (PDB: 3ARC), the amino acid residue Glu333 of the D1 polypeptide coordinates to the oxygen-evolving Mn4CaO5 cluster. This residue appears to be highly significant in that it bridges the two Mn ions (Mn-B3 and the "dangling" Mn-A4) that are also bridged by the oxygen atom O-5. This oxygen atom has been proposed to be derived from one of two substrate water molecules and to become incorporated into the product dioxygen molecule during the final step in the catalytic cycle. In addition, the backbone nitrogen of D1-Glu333 interacts directly with a nearby Cl- atom. To further explore the influence of this structurally unique residue on the properties of the Mn4CaO5 cluster, the D1-E333Q mutant of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 was characterized with a variety of biophysical and spectroscopic methods, including polarography, EPR, X-ray absorption, and FTIR difference spectroscopy. The kinetics of oxygen release in the mutant were essentially unchanged from those in wild-type. In addition, the oxygen flash yields exhibited normal period-four oscillations having normal S state parameters, although the yields were lower, indicative of the mutant's lower steady-state dioxygen evolution rate of approximately 30% compared to that of the wild-type. The S-1 state Mn-XANES and Mn-EXAFS and S-2 state multiline EPR signals of purified D1-E333Q PSII core complexes closely resembled those of wild-type, aside from having lower amplitudes. The Sn+1-minus-S-n FTIR difference spectra showed only minor alterations to the carbonyl, amide, and carboxylate stretching regions. However, the mutation eliminated a negative peak at 3663 cm(-1) in the weakly H-bonding O-H stretching region of the S-2-minus-S-1 FTIR difference spectrum and caused an approximately 9 cm(-1) downshift of the negative feature in this region of the S-1-minus-S-0 FTIR difference spectrum. We conclude that fully functional Mn4CaO5 clusters assemble in the presence of the D1-E333Q mutation but that the mutation decreases the yield of assembled clusters and alters the H-bonding properties of one or more water molecules or hydroxide groups that are located on or near the Mn4CaO5 cluster and that either deprotonate or form stronger hydrogen bonds during the S-0 to S-1 and S-1 to S-2 transitions.

AB Natural tissues, such as bone, tendon, and muscle, have well-defined hierarchical structures, which are crucial for their biological and mechanical functions. However, mimicking these structural features still remains a great challenge. In this study, we use ice-templated assembly and UV-initiated cryopolymerization to fabricate a novel kind of composite hydrogel which has both aligned macroporous structure at micrometer scale and a nacre-like layered structure at nanoscale. Such hydrogels are macroporous, are thermoresponsive, and exhibit excellent mechanical performance (they are tough and highly stretchable), attractive properties that have a significant impact on the wide applications of composite hydrogels, especially as tissue-engineering scaffolds. The fabrication method in this study including freeze-casting and cryopolymerization can also be applied to other materials, which makes it promising for designing and developing smart and multifunctional composite hydrogels with hierarchical structures.

AB Improved methods for the flux growth of single crystals of the important battery material LiFePO4 have been developed, allowing the facile preparation of single crystals up to 1 cm across with well-developed facets at relatively low temperatures. The structural characterization of these samples by both powder X-ray diffraction and single crystal diffraction (X-ray and a in neutron) indicates that the samples are typically stoichiometric with a very low concentration of Fe defects on the Li site, though crystals with larger concentrations of defects can be specifically grown using Fe-rich fluxes. These defects occur through the formation of a Fe-rich (Li1-2xFex)FePO4 partial solid solution, in contrast to the antisite defects more commonly discussed in the literature which would preserve the ideal LiFePO4 stoichiometry. The LiFePO4 defects are shown to be sarcopside-like (2 Li+ -> Fe2+ + vacancy) based on compositions refined from single crystal diffraction data, the observed dependence of unit cell parameters on defect concentration, and their observed phase behavior (defects only appear in growths from fluxes which are Fe-rich relative to stoichiometric LiFePO4). The distribution of defects has been studied by aberration corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy and was found to be highly inhomogenous, suggesting that defect-containing crystals may consist of endotaxial intergrowths of olivine LiFePO4 and sarcopside Fe-3(PO4)(2) in a manner that minimizes the detrimental influence of Fe-Li defects on the rate of Li-ion transport within crystallites.

AB We present constraints on decaying and annihilating dark matter (DM) in the 4 keV to 10 GeV mass range, using published results from the satellites HEAO-1, INTEGRAL, COMPTEL, EGRET, and the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. We derive analytic expressions for the gamma-ray spectra from various DM decay modes, and find lifetime constraints in the range 10(24) - 10(28) sec, depending on the DM mass and decay mode. We map these constraints onto the parameter space for a variety of models, including a hidden photino that is part of a kinetically mixed hidden sector, a gravitino with R-parity violating decays, a sterile neutrino, DM with a dipole moment, and a dark pion. The indirect constraints on sterile-neutrino and hidden-photino DM are found to be more powerful than other experimental or astrophysical probes in some parts of parameter space. While our focus is on decaying DM, we also present constraints on DM annihilation to electron-positron pairs. We find that if the annihilation is p-wave suppressed, the galactic diffuse constraints are, depending on the DM mass and velocity at recombination, more powerful than the constraints from the Cosmic Microwave Background.

AB The synthetic design and thermomechanical characterization of shape memory polymers (SMPs) built from a new polyurethane chemistry that enables facile, bulk and tunable crosslinking of low-molecular weight thermoplastics by electron beam irradiation is reported in this study. SMPs exhibit stimuli-induced geometry changes and are being proposed for applications in numerous fields. We have previously reported a polyurethane SMP system that exhibits the complex processing capabilities of thermoplastic polymers and the mechanical robustness and tunability of thermomechanical properties that are often characteristic of thermoset materials. These previously reported polyurethanes suffer practically because the thermoplastic molecular weights needed to achieve target cross-link densities severely limit high-throughput thermoplastic processing and because thermally unstable radiation-sensitizing additives must be used to achieve high enough cross-link densities to enable desired tunable shape memory behavior. In this study, we demonstrate the ability to manipulate cross-link density in low-molecular weight aliphatic thermoplastic polyurethane SMPs (M-w aslow as similar to 1.5 kDa) without radiation-sensitizing additives by incorporating specific structural motifs into the thermoplastic polymer side chains that we hypothesized would significantly enhance susceptibility to e-beam cross-linking. A custom diol monomer was first synthesized and then implemented in the synthesis of neat thermoplastic polyurethane SMPs that were irradiated at doses ranging from 1 to 500 kGy. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) demonstrated rubbery moduli to be tailorable between 0.1 and 55 MPa, and both DMA and sol/gel analysis results provided fundamental insight into our hypothesized mechanism of electron beam cross-linking, which enables controllable bulk cross-linking to be achieved in highly processable, low-molecular weight thermoplastic shape memory polymers without sensitizing additives.

AB The morphologies at elevated temperatures (T > T-g, T-m,) of 12 precise, polyethylene (PE)-based copolymers with acrylic acid (AA), phosphonic acid (PA), and 1-methylimidazolium bromide (1mBr) groups were studied via X-ray scattering. These precise copolymers enable direct comparisons focusing on the length of the spacer between the functional groups and the type of functional group. The polar groups in these materials self-assemble into microphase-separated aggregates dispersed throughout the nonpolar PE matrix. At high temperatures the PE segments are amorphous, such that the aggregates are distributed in a liquid-like manner in 11 of these precise copolymers. The correlation distances between aggregates increase with the following: carbon spacer length between pendant groups, size and volume fraction of the pendant species, and functional group configuration (single vs geminal substitution). In addition, comparisons are made between precise copolymers and pseudorandom copolymers of the same pendant concentration, wherein the interaggregate distances are much better defined with precise copolymers. Finally, the local packing in copolymers with geminal substitution of PA pendant groups is less compact, which might facilitate ion conduction.

ID NMR; COPOLYMERS; IONOMERS
AB The room temperature morphologies of twelve precise copolymers based on polyethylene (PE) were studied by solid-state C-13 NMR, DSC, and X-ray scattering. These copolymers feature carboxylic acid, phosphonic acid or 1-methylimidazolium bromide pendants on exactly every 9th, 15th or 21st carbon atom along the linear PE chain. The morphologies were categorized by the arrangement of the acid or ionic aggregates into liquid-like, layered, or cubic morphologies. The liquid-like morphology is characterized by an amorphous PE matrix and liquid-like packing of the aggregates, wherein the interaggregate spacing increases with l. both the PE segment length and the pendant size. The layered morphologies typically have a semicrystalline PE matrix and upon stretching become highly anisotropic. Notably, the orientation of the aggregates and the PE crystallites relative to the stretch direction depends on whether the morphology is dominated by PE crystallization, as found for acrylic acid (AA) and phosphonic acid (PA) copolymers, or by the strong ionic aggregates, as found for the 1-methylimidazolium bromide (ImBr) copolymers. Cubic morphologies in these precise copolymers require geminal substitution, PA pendants, and sufficiently long PE segments to allow the aggregates to order. These precise copolymers provide an unprecedented array of morphologies that enable correlations between chemical structure and nanoscale morphologies.

AB We report the synthesis and characterization of a polythiophene diblock copolymer selectively functionalized with 1-n-hexylisoorotic acid moieties (P4) and a 2,6-diaminopyridine tethered fullerene derivative (PCBP). Self-assembly between P4 and PCBP through "three-point" complementary hydrogen bonding interactions is utilized to control and stabilize blend morphologies. These interactions have been studied both in solution and in solid state by H-1 NMR and UV-vis spectroscopies as well as optical and atomic force microscopies (AFM). Solar cells employing P4 blended with different weight ratios of PCBP and phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) were fabricated and tested. The best power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) were observed in devices made from P4/PCBP blends (10/8 by wt) and ternary blends of P4/PCBP/PCBM (10/4/4 by wt) as active layers. Thermal stabilities of these solar cells were studied in detail by aging tests, and corresponding morphological changes were closely monitored by absorption spectroscopy, optical microscopy, AFM, and X-ray analyses. The "three-point" complementary hydrogen bonding interactions between P4 and PCBP, in cooperation with block polymer self-assembly, were found to not only improve the thermal stability of solar cells significantly but also lead to tunable active layer morphologies. Nanostructures with long-range order were identified in blend films employing P4, which has never been observed before in conventional polymer/fullerene bulk heterojunction (BHJ) films.

AB Double-layer step formation on Si(100) substrates is a crucial prerequisite for antiphase-domain free III-V compound semiconductor heteroepitaxy. Due to its unequaled relevance in microelectronics, the (100) oriented surface of silicon is by far the most studied semiconductor surface. However, Si(100) preparation in hydrogen process gas ambient, which is commonly employed for Si and III-V device preparation, is completely different from preparation in ultra-high vacuum due to strong interaction between H-2 and the Si surface, leading to a kinetically driven different step formation. Here, we observe chemical layer-by-layer removal of surface atoms from the terraces at the Si(100) surface during annealing in hydrogen ambient. Mutually perpendicularly oriented dimers on subsequently removed monolayers induce oscillations in the in situ reflection anisotropy spectroscopy (RAS) signal. Scanning tunneling microscopy measurements support a model, where surface atom removal proceeds by formation and anisotropic expansion of vacancy islands on the terraces. We determined an activation energy E-d of 2.75+/-0.20 eV for Si etching in H-2 ambient by transient in situ RAS measurements. In situ control of the highly reactive Si(100) surface preparation is essential for subsequent defect-free III-V heteroepitaxy.

AB The need for implants to repair large bone defects is driving the development of porous synthetic scaffolds with the requisite mechanical strength and toughness in vivo. Recent developments in the use of design principles and novel fabrication technologies are paving the way to create synthetic scaffolds with promising potential for reconstituting bone in load-bearing sites. Here, the state of the art in the design and fabrication of bioactive glass and ceramic scaffolds that have improved mechanical properties for structural bone repair is reviewed. Scaffolds with anisotropic and periodic structures can be prepared with compressive strengths comparable to human cortical bone (100-150 MPa), while scaffolds with an isotropic structure typically have strengths in the range of trabecular bone (2-12 MPa). However, the mechanical response of bioactive glass and ceramic scaffolds in multiple loading modes such as flexure and torsionas well as their mechanical reliability, fracture toughness, and fatigue resistancehas received little attention. Inspired by the designs of natural materials such as cortical bone and nacre, glass-ceramic and inorganic/polymer composite scaffolds created with extrinsic toughening mechanisms are showing potential for both high strength and mechanical reliability. Future research should include improved designs that provide strong scaffolds with microstructures conducive to bone ingrowth, and evaluation of these scaffolds in large animal models for eventual translation into clinical applications.
