Several disciplines are now converging to turn Saccharomyces into an exciting model genus for evolutionary genetics and genomics. Yeast taxonomists and ecologists have dramatically expanded and clarified Saccharomyces diversity, more than doubling the number of bona fide species since 2000. High-quality genome sequences are available (or soon will be) for all seven known species. Haploid laboratory strains are enabling a deep integration of classic genetic approaches with modern genomic tools. Population genomic surveys and quantitative trait mapping of variation within species are underway across the genus. Finally, several case studies have illuminated general and novel genetic mechanisms of evolution. Expanding strain collections, low-cost genome sequencing, and tools for precise genetic manipulation promise to usher in a golden era for this surprisingly diverse genus as an evolutionary model.

TI Reversible Simulations of Elastic Collisions SO ACM TRANSACTIONS ON MODELING AND COMPUTER SIMULATION LA English DT Article DE Reverse execution; billiards; conservation laws; phase space coverage; reversible pseudorandom; time warp ID MOLECULAR-DYNAMICS; PARTICLE; SYSTEMS AB Consider a system of N identical hard spherical particles moving in a d-dimensional box and undergoing elastic, possibly multiparticle, collisions. We develop a new algorithm that recovers the precollision state from the post-collision state of the system, across a series of consecutive collisions, with essentially no memory overhead. The challenge in achieving reversibility for an n-particle collision (where, in general, n << N) arises from the presence of nd - d - 1 degrees of freedom (arbitrary angles) during each collision, as well as from the complex geometrical constraints placed on the colliding particles. To reverse the collisions in a traditional simulation setting, all of the particular realizations of these degrees of freedom (angles) during the forward simulation must be tracked. This requires memory proportional to the number of collisions, which grows very fast with N and d, thereby severely limiting the de facto applicability of the scheme. This limitation is addressed here by first performing a pseudorandomization of angles, which ensures determinism in the reverse path for any values of n and d. To address the more difficult problem of geometrical and dynamic constraints, a new approach is developed which correctly samples the constrained phase space. Upon combining the pseudorandomization with correct phase space sampling, perfect reversibility of collisions is achieved, as illustrated for n <= 3, d = 2, and n = 2, d = 3. This result enables, for the first time, reversible simulations of elastic collisions with essentially zero memory accumulation. In principle, the approach presented here could be generalized to larger values of n. The reverse computation methodology presented here uncovers important issues of irreversibility in conventional models, and the difficulties encountered in arriving at a reversible model for one of the most basic and widely used physical system processes, namely, elastic collisions for hard spheres. Insights and solution methodologies, with regard to accurate phase space coverage with reversible random sampling proposed in this context, can help serve as models and/or starting points for other reversible simulations.

In the absence of a charge selective, electron blocking contact, systematic variation of the work function of the contact directly dictates the VOC, as defined by the energetic separation between the relative Fermi levels for holes and electrons, with little change in the observed dark saturation current, J0. Improving the charge selectivity of the contact through an increased barrier to electron injection from the fullerene in the blend into the hole contact results in a decreased reverse saturation current (decreased J0 and increased shunt resistance, RSH) and improved VOC. Based on these observations, we provide a set of contact design criteria for tuning the VOC in bulk heterojunction organic photovoltaics.

Our measurements in the ultradilute nitrogen doping concentrations demonstrate an energy shift in the line width resonance of the LO phonon. With decreasing nitrogen concentration, the E-W line width resonance energy reduces abruptly by ca. 47 meV at x approximate to 0.35%. This value corresponds to the concentration at which GaAs1-xNx has been recently shown to transition from an impurity regime to an alloy regime. Our study elucidates the evolution of dilute abnormal alloys and their Raman response.

TI Rhizosphere microbial community and Zn uptake by willow (Salix purpurea L.) depend on soil sulfur concentrations in metalliferous peat soils SO APPLIED SOIL ECOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Sulfate; znS; Sulfur oxidation; Salix purpurea L.; S-biogeochemistry; Heavy metal uptake ID EUROPEAN SOILS; T-RFLP; ZINC; DIVERSITY; COPPER; BACTERIA; CADMIUM; IRON; DISSOLUTION; SULFIDE AB On numerous occasions, rhizosphere microbial activities have been identified as a key factor in metal phytoavailability to various plant species and in phytoremediation of metal-contaminated sites. For soil bioremediation efforts in heavy metal contaminated areas, microbes adapted to higher concentrations of heavy metals are required. This study was a field survey undertaken to examine rhizosphere microbial communities and biogeochemistry of soils associated with Zn accumulation by indigenous willows (Salix purpurea L.) in the naturally metalliferous peat soils located near Elba, NY. Soil and willow leaf samples were Collected from seven points, at intervals 18 m apart along a willow hedgerow, on four different dates during the growing season. Soil bacterial community composition was characterized by terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis and a 16S clone library was created from the rhizosphere of willows and soils containing the highest concentrations of Zn. Bacterial community composition was correlated with soil sulfate, but not with soil pH. The clone library revealed comparable phylogenetic associations to those found in other heavy metal-contaminated soils, and was dominated by affiliations within the phyla Acidobacteria (32%), and Proteobacteria (37%), and the remaining clones were associated with a wide array of phyla including Actinobacteria, Gemmatimonadetes, Planctomycetes, Verrucomicrobia, Bacteriodetes, and Cyanobacteria. Diverse microbial populations were present in both rhizosphere and bulk soils of these naturally metalliferous peat soils with community composition highly correlated to the soil sulfate cycle throughout the growing season indicative of a sulfur-oxidizing rhizosphere microbial community. Results confirm the importance of soil characterization for informing bioremediation efforts in heavy metal contaminated areas and the reciprocity that microbial communities uniquely adapted to specific conditions and heavy metals may have on an ecosystem.

A portion of these resources are inaccessible at current cost targets with conventional feedstock supply systems because of their remoteness or low yields. Reliable analyses and projections of US biofuels production depend on assumptions about the supply system and biorefinery capacity, which, in turn, depend on economics, feedstock logistics, and sustainability. A cross-functional team has examined optimal combinations of advances in feedstock supply systems and biorefinery capacities with rigorous design information, improved crop yield and agronomic practices, and improved estimates of sustainable biomass availability. Biochemical-conversion-to-ethanol is analyzed for conventional bale-based system and advanced uniform-format feedstock supply system designs. The latter involves pre-processing' biomass into a higher-density, aerobically stable, easily transportable format that can supply large-scale biorefineries. Feedstock supply costs, logistics and processing costs are analyzed and compared, taking into account environmental sustainability metrics.

Two neighboring points are removed and we attempt to find a single random point that is sufficient to replace them both. The resampling respects the original sizing function; In that sense it is not a coarsening. The angle and edge length guarantees of a Delaunay triangulation of the points are preserved. The sifted point cloud is still suitable for texture synthesis because the Fourier spectrum is largely unchanged. We provide an efficient algorithm, and demonstrate that sifting uniform Maximal Poisson-disk Sampling (MPS) and Delaunay Refinement (DR) points reduces the number of points by about 25%, and achieves a density about 1/3 more than the theoretical minimum. We show two-dimensional stippling and meshing applications to demonstrate the significance of the concept. C1 [Ebeida, Mohamed S.; Mitchell, Scott A.] Sandia Natl Labs, Albuquerque, NM 87185 USA.

In the framework of the research on the SPES target, seven uranium carbide discs, obtained by reacting uranium oxide with graphite and carbon nanotubes, were irradiated with protons at the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility (HRIBF) of Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). In the following, the yields of several fission products obtained during the experiment are presented and discussed. The experimental results are then compared to those obtained using a standard uranium carbide target. The reported data highlights the capability of the new type of SPES target to produce and release isotopes of interest for the nuclear physics community.

The pHEMT modulator architecture and design tradeoffs affecting circuit size, speed, and reliability are discussed. Electrical performance is validated in the fast time domain, with detected rise and fall times of 6 and 4 ns, respectively, and achievable RF pulse widths as narrow as 25 ns. A novel all-phase mismatch test is used to evaluate modulator peak current handling over a matrix of operating conditions varying duty cycle from 5 to 45% and temperature from -55 to +85 degrees C; peak currents of up to 9 A are induced at a supply voltage of 28 V, with no observed degradation in electrical performance. Thermal measurements taken using high-resolution Raman scattering thermometry in conjunction with infrared imaging confirm that maximum channel temperatures in the modulator subcircuit are within safe operating limits.

The stability analysis that underlies our designs is inspired by an analysis approach synthesized in a recent work by Durr, Stankovic, and Johansson, which combines a Lie bracket averaging result of Gurvits and Li with a semiglobal practical stability result under small parametric perturbations by Moreau and Aeyels.

TI Effect of high-energy X-ray irradiation on creep mechanisms in bone and dentin SO JOURNAL OF THE MECHANICAL BEHAVIOR OF BIOMEDICAL MATERIALS LA English DT Article DE Bone; Dentin; Creep; Synchrotron; X-ray diffraction; Irradiation damage ID HUMAN CORTICAL BONE; BOVINE DENTIN; NEUTRON-DIFFRACTION; ELASTIC PROPERTIES; GAMMA-IRRADIATION; LOAD-TRANSFER; NANOSCALE DEFORMATION; COLLAGEN FIBRILS; TRABECULAR BONE; ALLOGRAFT BONE AB Under long-term loading creep conditions, mineralized biological tissues like bone are expected to behave in a similar manner to synthetic composites where the creeping matrix sheds load to the elastic reinforcement as creep deformation progresses. To study this mechanism in biological composites, creep experiments were performed at 37 degrees C on bovine compact bone and dentin. Static compressive stresses were applied to the samples, while wide- and small-angle scattering patterns from high energy synchrotron X-rays were used to determine, respectively, the elastic strain in the hydroxyapatite (HAP) platelets and the strain in the mineralized collagen fibril, as a function of creep time. In these highly irradiated biological composites, the reinforcing hydroxyapatite platelets progressively transfer some of their stress back to the softer protein matrix during creep. While such behavior can be explained by damage at the interface between the two phases, it is not consistent with measurements of the apparent moduli - the ratio of applied stress to elastic HAP strain measured throughout the creep experiments by elastic unload/load segments - which remained constant throughout the experiment and thus indicated good HAP/protein bonding. A possible explanation is a combination of X-ray and load induced interfacial damage explaining the shedding of load from the HAP during long term creep, coupled with interfacial re-bonding of the load-disrupted reversible bonds upon unloading, explaining the unaffected elastic load partitioning during unload/load segments. This hypothesis is further supported by finite element modeling which shows results mirroring the experimental strain measurements when considering interfacial delamination and a compliant interstitial space at the ends of the HAP platelets.

TI Isotopic and chemical variation of organic nanoglobules in primitive meteorites SO METEORITICS & PLANETARY SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID INTERPLANETARY DUST PARTICLES; TAGISH LAKE METEORITE; CARBONACEOUS CHONDRITES; MURCHISON METEORITE; SOLAR-SYSTEM; INTERSTELLAR CHEMISTRY; AROMATIC-HYDROCARBONS; PRESOLAR GRAPHITE; NITROGEN ISOTOPE; N-14/N-15 RATIO AB Organic nanoglobules are microscopic spherical carbon-rich objects present in chondritic meteorites and other astromaterials. We performed a survey of the morphology, organic functional chemistry, and isotopic composition of 184 nanoglobules in insoluble organic matter (IOM) residues from seven primitive carbonaceous chondrites. Hollow and solid nanoglobules occur in each IOM residue, as well as globules with unusual shapes and structures. Most nanoglobules have an organic functional chemistry similar to, but slightly more carboxyl-rich than, the surrounding IOM, while a subset of nanoglobules have a distinct, highly aromatic functionality. The range of nanoglobule N isotopic compositions was similar to that of nonglobular 15N-rich hotspots in each IOM residue, but nanoglobules account for only about one third of the total 15N-rich hotspots in each sample. Furthermore, many nanoglobules in each residue contained no 15N enrichment above that of bulk IOM. No morphological indicators were found to robustly distinguish the highly aromatic nanoglobules from those that have a more IOM-like functional chemistry, or to distinguish 15N-rich nanoglobules from those that are isotopically normal. The relative abundance of aromatic nanoglobules was lower, and nanoglobule diameters were greater, in more altered meteorites, suggesting the creation/modification of IOM-like nanoglobules during parent-body processing. However, 15N-rich nanoglobules, including many with highly aromatic functional chemistry, likely reflect preaccretionary isotopic fractionation in cold molecular cloud or protostellar environments. These data indicate that no single formation mechanism can explain all of the observed characteristics of nanoglobules, and their properties are likely a result of multiple processes occurring in a variety of environments.

After indentation the samples have been annealed at room temperature to remove any residual unstable R8 and BC8 phases. Raman spectroscopy indicates a single broad peak centred around 292 cm1 and we have used first principles density functional perturbation theory calculations and simulated Raman spectra for nano-crystalline diamond cubic germanium (DC-Ge) to help identification of the final phase as hexagonal diamond germanium (HEX-Ge). Transmission electron microscopy and selected area diffraction analysis confirmed the presence of a dominant HEX-Ge end phase. These results help explain significant inconsistencies in the literature relating to indentation-induced phase transitions in DC- and a-Ge. ((c) 2013 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

It also leads to a nontrivial relation between the spectral tilt of scalar perturbations n(s) and the dark energy equation of state omega. We study the self-consistency of this model from an effective field theory point of view. Taking into account the influence of the dynamical background fields, we determine the effective cutoff of the theory, which turns out to be parametrically larger than all the relevant energy scales from inflation to the present epoch. We finally formulate the set of assumptions needed to estimate the amplitude of the quantum corrections in a systematic way and show that the connection between n(s) and omega remains unaltered if these assumptions are satisfied.

Lagrangian velocities measured at equidistant points along streamlines are shown to form a spatial Markov process. As a consequence of this remarkable property, the dispersion of fluid particles can be described by a continuous time random walk with correlated temporal increments. This new dynamical picture of intermittency provides a direct link between the microscale flow, its intermittent properties, and non-Fickian dispersion.

It solves an old mystery why crystals have phonons for spontaneously broken translations but no gapless excitations for equally spontaneously broken rotations. Similarly for a superfluid, the Nambu-Goldstone boson for spontaneously broken Galilean symmetry is redundant with phonons. The most nontrivial example is Tkachenko mode for a vortex lattice in a superfluid, where phonons are redundant to the Tkachenko mode which is identified as the Boboliubov mode.

The energy which is E=25.03 +/- 0.02 mu eV at T=3 K, decreases continuously and becomes zero at T-N approximate to 30 K. The intensity of the inelastic peak remains more or less constant as a function temperature before the it merges with the central elastic peak at T-N. The energy of nuclear spin excitations in HoAl2 seems to follow the order parameter of the ferromagnetic phase transition. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Different monitoring technologies were evaluated by collecting vibration and oil-debris data from tests performed on both a healthy' gearbox and a damaged gearbox that were mounted on a dynamometer test stand at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). The damaged gearbox tested had been removed from the field after it experienced component damage because of two events that resulted in the loss of oil. The gearbox was re-tested under controlled conditions by using the NREL dynamometer test stand. Preliminary results indicate that oil-debris and vibration data can be integrated to improve the assessment of the health of the wind turbine gearbox. Copyright (c) 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

On the basis of the available geographically dispersed data for the Western USA, we analyze to what extent the geographic diversity of these resources can offset their variability. We determine the best match to loads in the western portion of the USA that can be achieved with wind power and photovoltaics (PV) with no transmission limitations.Without storage and with no curtailment, wind and PV can meet up to 50% of loads in Western USA. It is beneficial to build more wind than PV mostly because the wind contributes at night. When storage is available, the optimal mix has almost 75% as much nominal PV capacity as wind, with the PV energy contribution being 32% of the electricity produced from wind. With only 10GW of storage (twice the pumped hydro storage capacity that already exists in the Western Electric Coordinating Council), up to 82% of the load can be matched with wind and PV, while in the same time curtailing just 10% of the renewable energy throughout the year.

Aberration-corrected STEM showed that the La-alumina support helped to stabilize Pd in smaller particles and clusters, increasing dispersion from 17 to 26%. The higher dispersion was responsible, in part, for the improved CO oxidation rate; at 140 degrees C, the turnover frequency (TOF) was improved from 0.0019 to 0.0095 s(-1) with the addition of La. This TOF increase appears to be tied to facile redox behavior of the Pd/La-alumina catalyst, which was evident in the results of in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and FTIR spectroscopy. In these experiments, both catalysts were calcined at 500 degrees C to form PdO and then reduced to Pd metal at 140 degrees C in the presence of CO. When the CO-covered catalyst was exposed to CO oxidation reaction conditions at 140 degrees C, the 2.5% Pd/Al2O3 catalyst remained nearly fully reduced, and the surface converage of CO did not change, indicating irreversible CO adsorption and very low reactivity toward oxygen. On the other hand, the more active 2.5% Pd/La-Al2O3 catalyst was more reactive toward oxygen, with a portion of the Pd becoming oxidized when the gas phase was switched from pure CO to the reaction mixture. There was a drop in surface coverage of CO when switching from pure CO to the reaction mixture on the Pd/La-alumina. The results suggest that the role of the La-alumina support is 2-fold, increasing the dispersion of Pd by forming small, stable Pd particles and allowing a portion of the Pd to exhibit facile redox behavior at low temperatures, making the Pd less susceptible to poisoning by CO. This work provides insights into factors that could lead to improved low-temperature CO oxidation reactivity in Pd-based automotive exhaust catalysts.

Chem., 2012, 4, 383-388). Several bioinspired "proton-responsive" mononuclear Ir(III) catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation were prepared to gain mechanistic insight through investigation of the factors that control the effective generation of formate. These factors include (1) kinetic isotope effects by water, hydrogen, and bicarbonate; (2) position and number of hydroxyl groups on bpy-type ligands; and (3) mono- vs dinuclear iridium complexes. We have, for the first time, obtained clear evidence from kinetic isotope effects and computational studies of the involvement of a water molecule in the rate-determining heterolysis of H-2 and accelerated proton transfer by formation of a water bridge in CO2 hydrogenation catalyzed by bioinspired complexes bearing a pendent base. Furthermore, contrary to expectations, a more significant enhancement of the catalytic activity was observed from electron donation by the ligand than on the number of the active metal centers.

The most favorable reaction pathway suggested from DFT is compared to kinetics measurements, and good agreement is found between the predicted and the measured activation barriers. The DFT calculations reveal several interesting features, including an unusual 5-membered transition state structure for oxidative insertion in contrast to the typically proposed 3-membered transition state, a preference for an O-bound over a C-bound Ru-enolate, and a significant kinetic preference for the order of product release from the catalyst. The experimental measurements confirm that the reaction proceeds via a free ketone intermediate, but also suggest that the conversion of the intermediate ketone to acetophenone and phenol does not necessarily require ketone dissociation from the catalyst. Overall, this work elucidates the kinetically and thermodynamically preferred reaction pathways for tandem alcohol dehydrogenation and reductive ether bond cleavage by the ruthenium-xantphos catalyst.

Ethoxy, acetate, carbonate, and hydroxyl species are identified by DRIFTS as surface intermediates that appear during the reaction process. The oxidation of ethoxy to acetate and the decomposition of acetate are two key steps in the steam reforming process. The CeO2 support facilitates the oxidation of ethoxy to acetate below 350 degrees C. Above 350 degrees C, the Ni metal catalyzes dissociation of the C-C bond in acetate to form carbonate and methyl, something that the CeO2 support is not able to do. The Ce(III) sites produced by the reduction of ceria in ethanol help to dissociate water forming the surface hydroxyl groups, which react with the methyl groups to produce CO2 and inhibited the methyl groups progress to CH4 Post-reaction transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images of the Ni/CeO2 catalyst reveal two types of carbon configurations: encapsulating carbon and filamentous carbon . A water-rich atmosphere favors formation of carbon filaments, which do not deactivate two catalyst.

Lignocellulosic biomass, the most abundant and inexpensive renewable feedstock on the planet, has a great potential for sustainable production of fuels, chemicals, and carbon-based materials. Fast pyrolysis integrated with hydrotreating, one of the simplest, most cost-effective, and most efficient processes to convert lignocellulosic biomass to liquid hydrocarbon fuels for transportation, has attracted significant attention in recent decades. However, effective hydrotreating of pyrolysis bio-oil presents a daunting challenge to the commercialization of biomass conversion via pyrolysis-hydrotreating. Specifically, the development of active, selective, and stable hydrotreating catalysts is problematic due to the poor quality of current pyrolysis bio-oil feedstock (i.e., high oxygen content, molecular complexity, coking propensity, and corrosiveness). Significant research has been conducted to address the practical issues and provide fundamental understanding of hydrotreating and hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of bio-oils and their oxygen-containing model compounds, including phenolics, furans, and carboxylic acids. A wide range of catalysts have been studied, including conventional Mo-based sulfide catalysts and noble metal catalysts. Noble metal catalysts have been the primary focus of recent research because of their excellent catalytic performances and because they do not require the use of environmentally unfriendly sulfur. Recently, the reaction mechanisms of the HDO of model compounds on noble metal catalysts and their efficacy for hydrotreating or stabilization of bio-oil have been reported . This review provides a survey of relevant literature, published over the past decade, reporting advances in the understanding of the HDO chemistry of bio-oils and their model compounds, mainly on noble metal catalysts.

The results are compared with the predictions of scaling laws for coarser-scale foams and with available experimental data. We find a surprising substantial tension/compression asymmetry in yield due to the surface stress that sets the filament under compression, providing a bias favoring yielding in compression. We provide a model for our results based on a ligament strength value close to the theoretical strength of Au, and the surface stress. The model predicts a significant tension/compression asymmetry for ligament sizes below, similar to 10 nm and pore collapse for ligament sizes below 1 nm. We also observe an unexpected compaction tendency under tension characterized by a decrease in the total volume of the sample of 15% for samples deformed under tension by 30%. The mechanism of the compaction involves a decrease in the average pore size and pore collapse resulting from plasticity within the ligaments. (C) 2013 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Therefore, a prototypical ferrific/martensitic alloy, HT-9, of interest to the nuclear materials community was investigated to assess microstructure effects on micromagnetics measurements (Barkhausen noise emission, magnetic hysteresis measurements, and first order reversal curve analysis) for samples undergoing three different heat treatments. Microstructural and physical measurements consisted of high precision density, resonant ultrasound elastic constant, Vickers microhardness, grain size, and texture determination. These were varied in the HT-9 alloy samples and related to various magnetic signatures. In parallel, a mesoscale microstructure model was created for a-iron and the effects of polycrystallinity and the demagnetization factor were explored. It was observed that Barkhausen noise emission decreased with increasing hardness and decreasing grain size (lath spacing), while coercivity increased. The results are discussed in terms of the use of magnetic signatures for the non-destructive interrogation of radiation damage and other microstructural changes in ferritic/martensitic alloys.

The precipitate phase was investigated by conventional electron diffraction, high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and three-dimensional atom probe tomography. An unrelaxed orthorhombic atomic structural model is proposed based on these observations. This model was subsequently relaxed by ab initio calculations. As a result of the relaxation, atom shuffle displacements occur, which in turn yields improved agreement with the STEM images. The relaxed structure, which is termed the "H phase", has also been verified to be thermodynamically stable at 0 K. (C) 2013 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

These structural units (which cover all boundaries from 0 degrees to 90 degrees) show striking similarities to comparable CSL boundaries observed in cubic crystal structures that are also derived from dense packing (face centered cubic metal; rocksalt, perovskite, etc.). A general model for the structure of grain boundaries in such similarly structured materials systems has been developed that is based on the crystallography of the parent structures. Changes away from these predicted grain boundary symmetries can be interpreted as showing the frustration of symmetry caused by the incorporation of point defects (vacancies and impurities). This general model for grain boundary structures can, in principle, provide a means to infer the structure property relationships in broad classes of materials. (C) 2013 Acta Materialia Inc.

Two junction configurations formed at intersecting prismatic (01 (1) over bar0)/basal (0001) planes and type-II pyramidal ((2) over bar 112)/prismatic (01 (1) over bar0) planes are studied using Burgers vectors of varying magnitudes. The equilibrium junctions are created from two intersecting straight gliding dislocations, and their subsequent strengths are evaluated under uniform applied stresses. The relative junction strengths between Mg and Be are consistent with their relative elastic stiffness, i.e., the modulus of elasticity for Mg is approximately one order of magnitude smaller than that of Be, and their junction strengths are similarly one order of magnitude apart. In general, the yield surfaces for junctions in Be are larger than those in Mg after normalization with the respective elastic moduli and Poisson's ratios. All yield surfaces exhibit a strong symmetry. However, the size and shape of the yield surfaces depend on the slip systems, especially the active Burgers vectors. The yield surfaces of hcp crystals can resemble those of face-centered cubic or body-centered cubic crystals when the active Burgers vectors of the dislocations involved in the junction are of type < a >, namely < 11 (2) over bar0 >, and are distinct when Burgers vectors of different types are used: for instance, a type < a + c >, namely 1/3 < 11 (2) over bar(3) over bar >, interacting with a type < a >. It was also found that junctions with more edge part exhibit more elongated yield surfaces than those with more screw part, and slip systems involved with < a > Burgers vectors result in smaller yield surfaces. These results demonstrate that junction strengths for hcp crystals are largely determined by elastic properties and Burgers vectors. The work aims to assess the effects of intrinsic material properties and dislocation slip systems on the strength of different binary dislocation junctions for general hcp structures.

TI Soil Moisture and Thermal Behavior in the Vicinity of Buried Objects Affecting Remote Sensing Detection: Experimental and Modeling Investigation SO IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON GEOSCIENCE AND REMOTE SENSING LA English DT Article DE Environmental factors; geoscience and remote sensing; land surface; landmine detection; soil moisture ID IN-FIELD SOILS; LANDMINE DETECTION; WATER-CONTENT; DIURNAL CYCLE; BARE SOILS; MINES; TEMPERATURE; CONDUCTIVITY; SIGNATURES; DISTRIBUTIONS AB Improvements in buried mine detection using remote sensing technology rest on understanding the effects on sensor response of spatial and temporal variability created by soil and environmental conditions. However, research efforts on mine detection have generally emphasized sensor development, while less effort has been made to evaluate the effects of the environmental conditions in which the mines are placed. If the processes governing moisture and temperature distribution near the ground surface can be captured, sensor development and deployment can be more realistically tailored to particular operational scenarios and technologies. The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of the soil environment on landmine detection by studying the influence of the thermal boundary conditions at the land-atmosphere interface and the buried objects themselves on the spatial and temporal distribution of soil moisture around shallow-buried objects. Two separate large tank experiments were performed with buried objects with different thermal properties. Experimental results were compared to results from a fully coupled heat and mass transfer numerical model. Comparison of experimental and numerical results suggests that the vapor enhancement factor used to adjust the vapor diffusive flux described based on Fick's law is not necessary under dry soil conditions. Data and simulations from this study show that the thermal signature of a buried object depends on the complex interaction among a soil's water content and its thermal and hydraulic properties. Simulated thermal and saturation contrasts were generally very different for a buried landmine than for other buried objects.

TI Evaluation of the Transmission Line Model for Couplant Layer Corrections in Pulse-Echo Measurements SO IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON ULTRASONICS FERROELECTRICS AND FREQUENCY CONTROL LA English DT Article ID TEMPERATURE; SPEED; SOUND; PRESSURE; WATER AB An acoustic couplant layer plays an integral role in many ultrasonic nondestructive testing and material characterization applications. It is important to account for this layer for accurate time-delay measurements. In pulse-echo measurements, the couplant layer can be accounted for by modeling the frequency dependence of phase delay. In this paper, two such models are evaluated for robustness in determining an accurate phase velocity: a simple linear relationship and the acoustic transmission line with its associated nonlinear expression. For this evaluation, measurements of acoustic phase delay in an aluminum sample were made by the pulse-echo method using tone bursts of 1800 different carrier frequencies between 35 and 125 MHz. The transmission line model was fit to the measured data using an unconstrained nonlinear least squares fitting routine with two free parameters: the acoustic phase velocity in the sample and the couplant thickness. It was found that this nonlinear model was extremely sensitive to the initial parameter guesses and could not unambiguously determine both the couplant layer thickness and acoustic phase velocity. In contrast, the faster and simpler linear least squares fit to the delay data determines a unique phase velocity in agreement with resonant ultrasound spectroscopy, an independent measurement technique.

TI High-Temperature (> 500 degrees C) Ultrasonic Transducers: An Experimental Comparison Among Three Candidate Piezoelectric Materials SO IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON ULTRASONICS FERROELECTRICS AND FREQUENCY CONTROL LA English DT Article ID ALUMINUM NITRIDE; CRYSTAL; SENSORS; COEFFICIENT; ALLOY AB High-temperature piezoelectric crystals, including YCa4O(BO3)(3), LiNbO3, and AlN, have been studied for use in ultrasonic transducers under continuous operation for 55 h at 550 degrees C. Additionally, thermal ratcheting tests were performed on the transducers by subjecting the crystals to heat treatments followed by ultrasonic performance testing at room temperature and 500 degrees C. The changes resulting from the heat treatments were less than the statistical spread obtained in repeated experiments and were thus considered negligible. Finally, in situ measurements of the pulse-echo response of YCa4O(BO3)(3) were performed at temperatures up to 950 degrees C for the first time, showing stable characteristics up to these high temperatures.

TI Effects of Soil Moisture on the Responses of Soil Temperatures to Climate Change in Cold Regions SO JOURNAL OF CLIMATE LA English DT Article ID GROUND THERMAL REGIME; LAND-SURFACE SCHEME; FROZEN SOIL; SNOW COVER; HYDRAULIC-PROPERTIES; PERMAFROST CARBON; ATMOSPHERIC CO2; GLOBAL CLIMATE; ACTIVE LAYER; MODEL AB At high latitudes, changes in soil moisture could alter soil temperatures independently of air temperature changes by interacting with the snow thermal rectifier. The authors investigated this mechanism with model experiments in the Community Land Model 4 (CLM4) with prescribed atmospheric forcing and vegetation state. Under equilibriumhistorical conditions, increasing CO2 concentrations experienced by plants from 285 to 857 ppm caused local increases in soil water-filled pore space of 0.1-0.2 in some regions throughout the globe. In permafrost regions that experienced this moistening, vertical-and annual-mean soil temperatures increased by up to 3 degrees C (0.27 degrees C averaged over all permafrost areas). A similar pattern of moistening and consequent warming occurred in simulations with prescribed June-September (JJAS) rainfall increases of 25% over historical values, a level of increase commensurate with projected future rainfall increases. There was a strong sensitivity of the moistening responses to the baseline hydrological state. Experiments with perturbed physics confirmed that the simulated warming in permafrost soils was caused by increases in the soil latent heat of fusion per unit volume and in the soil thermal conductivity due to the increased moisture. In transient Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5 (RCP8.5) scenario experiments, soil warming due to increased CO2 or JJAS rainfall was smaller in magnitude and spatial extent than in the equilibrium experiments. Active-layer deepening associated with soil moisture changes occurred over less than 8% of the current permafrost area because increased heat of fusion and soil thermal conductivity had compensating effects on active-layer depth. Ongoing modeling challenges make these results tentative. C1 [Subin, Zachary M.] Princeton Environm Inst, Princeton, NJ 08544 USA.

The evaluation reveals the physical cause of the observed diurnal rainfall variation in East Asia and points to the source of model strengths and weaknesses. Two model versions with horizontal resolutions of 2.8 degrees and 0.5 degrees are used. The models can reproduce the diurnal phase of large-scale winds over East Asia, with an enhanced low-level southwesterly in early morning. Correspondingly, models successfully simulated the diurnal variation of stratiform rainfall with a maximum in early morning. However, the simulated convective rainfall occurs at local noontime, earlier than observations and with larger amplitude (normalized by the daily mean). As a result, models simulated a weaker diurnal cycle in total rainfall over the western plain of China due to an out-of-phase cancellation between convective and stratiform rainfalls and a noontime maximum of total rainfall over the eastern plain of China. Over the East China Sea, models simulated the early-morning maximum of convective precipitation and, together with the correct phase of the stratiform rainfall, they captured the diurnal cycle of total precipitation. The superposition of the stratiform and convective rainfalls also explains the observed diurnal cycle in total rainfall in East Asia. Relative to the coarse-resolution model, the high-resolution model simulated slight improvement in diurnal rainfall amplitudes, due to the larger amplitude of stratiform rainfall. The two models, however, suffer from the same major biases in rainfall diurnal cycles due to the convection parameterization.

TI The Transpose-AMIP II Experiment and Its Application to the Understanding of Southern Ocean Cloud Biases in Climate Models SO JOURNAL OF CLIMATE LA English DT Article ID COMMUNITY-ATMOSPHERE-MODEL; OFFICE UNIFIED MODEL; WEATHER PREDICTION; SYSTEMATIC-ERRORS; RADIATION BUDGET; SIMULATION; SURFACE; ISCCP; TOP AB The Transpose-Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project (AMIP) is an international model intercomparison project in which climate models are run in "weather forecast mode." The Transpose-AMIP II experiment is run alongside phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) and allows processes operating in climate models to be evaluated, and the origin of climatological biases to be explored, by examining the evolution of the model from a state in which the large-scale dynamics, temperature, and humidity structures are constrained through use of common analyses. The Transpose-AMIP II experimental design is presented. The project requests participants to submit a comprehensive set of diagnostics to enable detailed investigation of the models to be performed. An example of the type of analysis that may be undertaken using these diagnostics is illustrated through a study of the development of cloud biases over the Southern Ocean, a region that is problematic for many models. Several models share a climatological bias for too little reflected shortwave radiation from cloud across the region. This is found to mainly occur behind cold fronts and/or on the leading side of transient ridges and to be associated with more stable lower-tropospheric profiles. Investigation of a case study that is typical of the bias and associated meteorological conditions reveals the models to typically simulate cloud that is too optically and physically thin with an inversion that is too low. The evolution of the models within the first few hours suggests that these conditions are particularly sensitive and a positive feedback can develop between the thinning of the cloud layer and boundary layer structure.

TI Characteristics Associated with the Madden-Julian Oscillation at Manus Island SO JOURNAL OF CLIMATE LA English DT Article ID OUTGOING LONGWAVE RADIATION; INTRASEASONAL OSCILLATIONS; TRIMODAL CHARACTERISTICS; TROPICAL ATMOSPHERE; WESTERN PACIFIC; LIFE-CYCLE; MJO; VARIABILITY; MODEL; SENSITIVITY AB Ground-based high temporal and vertical resolution datasets from observations during 2002-07 at the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) tropical western Pacific (TWP) site on Manus Island are used to examine the characteristics of clouds and rainfall associated with the active phase of the Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO) passing over Manus. A composite MJO event at Manus is developed based on the NOAA MJO index 4 and precipitation using 13 events. The cloud characteristics associated with the active phase of the MJO at Manus show a two-phase structure as the wave passes over Manus. During the development phase, congestus plays an important role, and the enhanced convection is located between surface westerly and easterly wind anomalies (type-I structure). During the mature phase, deep convection is the dominant cloud type, and the enhanced convection is collocated with the westerly wind anomalies (type-II structure). Consistent with this two-phase structure, the heavy rainfall frequency also shows a two-peak structure during the MJO disturbance, while light rainfall does not show a clear relation to the intraseasonal disturbance associated with the MJO. In addition, a positive relationship between the precipitation rate and precipitable water vapor exists at Manus, and the atmospheric column is less moist after the passing of the MJO convection center than before.

Hokamoto, Shinji TI Comparison of Integrated and Nonintegrated Wide-Field Optic Flow for Vehicle Navigation SO JOURNAL OF GUIDANCE CONTROL AND DYNAMICS LA English DT Article AB Recent studies of vision-based navigation and guidance for robotic vehicles have been inspired by the biological systems found in flying insects. The wide-field integration of optic flow is one pre-existing method, in which the sensed optic flow is integrated along with sensitivity functions to mimic the action of directionally sensitive cells observed in some insects' visual systems. This study re-examines the wide-field integration method and reformulates the problem from a summation rather than an integral. This reformulation allows the wide-field integration measurement outputs to be directly compared with nonintegrated optic flow measurements. The method using nonintegrated optic flow measurements is shown to have some practical advantages, such as eliminating the need to define input sensitivity functions and having a measurement Jacobian that is easier to derive analytically. Also, the state estimates obtained with the nonintegrated method are proven to have minimum variance compared with those from the wide-field integration method. Numerical simulations of each method are shown for a vehicle maintaining level flight at constant altitude over a flat terrain.

The structural state of the as-deposited Co-W clusters was found to be critically dependent on processing parameters such as the cooling scheme and sputtering power. For the water-cooled clusters, the mean size and percent crystalline were strongly dependent on sputtering power, while the percent crystalline of the liquid nitrogen-cooled clusters was not as affected by the sputtering power. At low sputtering powers, the water-cooled clusters were predominantly amorphous, but became increasingly more crystalline as the sputtering power increased. The predominant crystalline phase was hcp Co(W), but high-resolution transmission electron microscopy revealed that very small and very large clusters contained fcc and Co3W structures, respectively. For liquid nitrogen cooling the clusters were predominantly amorphous regardless of sputtering power, although at the highest sputtering power a small percentage of the clusters were crystalline. The magnetic properties were dependent on cooling schemes, sputtering power, and temperature, with the highest coercivity of 893 Oe obtained at 10 K for water-cooled clusters sputtered at 150 W. The magnetocrystalline anisotropy of the water-cooled sample increased with increasing sputtering power, with the highest anisotropy of 3.9 x 10(6) ergs/cm(3) recorded for clusters sputtered at 150 W. For liquid nitrogen-cooled samples, the anisotropy was approximately constant for all sputtering powers. C1 [Golkar, Farhad; Shield, J. E.] Univ Nebraska, Lincoln, NE 68588 USA. [Kramer, M.

The effect of grain subdivision is to effectively enhance fission gas bubble (FGB) swelling due to increased grain boundaries. Inter-granular FGB swelling, i.e., FGB formation and growth at the grain boundaries, is much larger than the intra-granular FGB swelling. Recrystallized fuel volume fractions of U-Mo fuels irradiated to fission densities reaching 5.7 x 10(21) f/cm(3) were measured. Analytical expressions of recrystallization kinetics of U-Mo fuel during irradiation have been developed through the usage of the Avrami equation, a phenomenological equation which is also used to describe similar typical transformation reactions, such as new phase formation. In this work, we present a novel FGB swelling model of U-Mo fuel that is expressed in terms of Mo content, extent of cold work (fuel powder fabrication method), and fission density.

TI Thermal effects on mass and spatial resolution during laser pulse atom probe tomography of cerium oxide SO JOURNAL OF NUCLEAR MATERIALS LA English DT Article ID FIELD EVAPORATION; FUEL DEVELOPMENT; CEO2 AB Cerium oxide (CeO2) is an ideal surrogate material for trans-uranic elements and fission products found in nuclear fuels due to similarities in their thermal properties; therefore, cerium oxide was used to determine the best run condition for atom probe tomography (APT) of nuclear fuels. Laser-assisted APT is a technique that allows for spatial resolution in the nm scale and isotopic/elemental chemical identification. A systematic study of the impact of laser pulse energy and specimen base temperature on the mass resolution, measurement of stoichiometry, multiple detector hits, and evaporation mechanisms are reported in this paper. It was demonstrated that using laser-assisted APT stoichiometric field evaporation of cerium oxide was achieved at 1 pJ laser pulse energy and 20 K specimen base temperature. (c) 2013 Elsevier B.V.

The acicular morphology consists of large, single orientation laths with high densities of dislocations and deformation twins, while the banded morphology is comprised of fine transformation twins, often with complex, multiple twin orientation relationships. Detailed Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) studies of the crystallographic relationships and deformation structures of these two microstructures are presented. In addition, controlled thermal histories and Continuous Cooling Transformation (CCT) curves have been evaluated to characterize the transformation pathways associated with the change in morphology. While the change from acicular to banded morphology is associated with increasing Nb concentrations, the competition between a temperature invariant reaction (at higher cooling rates) and a thermally activated transformation is investigated.

TI Sources of Technical Variability in Quantitative LC-MS Proteomics: Human Brain Tissue Sample Analysis SO JOURNAL OF PROTEOME RESEARCH LA English DT Article DE label-free quantification; technical variation; sample preparation; reproducibility; study design; tissue analysis ID SPECTROMETRY-BASED PROTEOMICS; COMPLEX PROTEIN MIXTURES; MULTILOCUS GENOTYPE DATA; MASS-SPECTROMETRY; PEPTIDE IDENTIFICATION; CELL-CULTURE; AMINO-ACIDS; LIQUID-CHROMATOGRAPHY; 2-DIMENSIONAL ELECTROPHORESIS; ZWITTERIONIC DETERGENTS AB To design a robust quantitative proteomics study, an understanding of both the inherent heterogeneity of the biological samples being studied as well as the technical variability of the proteomics methods and platform is needed. Additionally, accurately identifying the technical steps associated with the largest variability would provide valuable information for the improvement and design of future processing pipelines. We present an experimental strategy that allows for a detailed examination of the variability of the quantitative LC-MS proteomics measurements. By replicating analyses at different stages of processing, various technical components can be estimated and their individual contribution to technical variability can be dissected. This design can be easily adapted to other, quantitative proteomics pipelines. Herein, we applied this methodology,to our label-free workflow for the processing of human brain tissue. For this application, the pipeline was divided into four critical components: Tissue dissection and homogenization (extraction), protein denaturation followed by trypsin digestion and SPE cleanup (digestion), short-tern; run-to-run instrumental response fluctuation (instrumental variance), and long-term drift of the quantitative response of the LC-MS/MS platform over the 2 week period of continuous analysis (instrumental stability). From this analysis, we found the following contributions to variability: extraction (72%) >> instrumental variance (16%) > instrumental stability (8.4%) > digestion (3.1%). Furthermore, the stability of the platform and its suitability for discovery proteomics studies is demonstrated.

We have demonstrated that increased storage and scanning use lifetimes for silver plasmonic structures are directly connected with the elimination of chemical degradation at the plasmonic structure surface. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy of the metal films confirmed that a 23 nm thick coating of aluminum oxide prevented chemical attack of the underlying silver film for three months of storage in a desiccator, significantly increasing the storage lifetime of current probes. The scanning lifetime of a TERS probe when used to image a hard patterned silicon substrate was doubled with the addition of this protective coating. These measurements were performed without laser illumination in order to separate laser-induced heating degradation from pure mechanical degradation of the metallized probe currently encountered during TERS data collection.

TI Optimization of the array mirror for time reversal techniques used in a half-space environment SO JOURNAL OF THE ACOUSTICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA LA English DT Article ID ACOUSTICS AB Time reversal (TR) utilizes an array of transducers, a time reversal mirror (TRM), to locate sources. Here TR is applied to simple sources using steady-state waveforms in a numerical, point source model in a half-space environment. It is found that TR can effectively localize a simple source broadcasting a continuous wave, depending on the angular spacing. Furthermore, the angular spacing and the aperture of the TRM are the most important parameters when creating a setup of receivers for imaging a source. This work optimizes a TRM when the source's location is known within a region of certainty.

The enthalpies of formation from constituent oxides show increasing energetic stability of the hollandite phase as Ti4+ is substituted by Mg2+, Al3+, and Fe3+, in that order. In general, the thermodynamic stability increases with decreasing average cation radius in the sites, and when the tolerance factor approaches one. The Al- and Fe-hollandites are more stable than phase assemblages containing BaTiO3 perovskite and Al/Fe/Ti oxides, whereas Mg-hollandite is less stable than the corresponding assemblage of BaTiO3 perovskite, MgTiO3 ilmenite, and TiO2. This instability makes Mg-hollandite a less suitable host for fission products. Hollandite phase formation during metal citrate combustion synthesis depends more on thermodynamic stability and phase chemistry than on the annealing temperature. C1 [Costa, Gustavo C.

We demonstrate superhydrophilicity of aerosol-deposition (AD) TiO2 films on a glass substrate without use of a carrier solvent, thereby removing the possibility of impurity contamination. AD films exhibit high visible light transmittance (greater than 80%) and superhydrophilicity (0 degrees contact angle) with even minimal UV-light irradiation exposure. This AD method represents a significant step toward the realization of economically viable, functional thin films for the aforementioned applications.

Under irradiation, a band of contrast is observed to form that grows under further irradiation. Scanning and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy imaging and analysis suggest that this band of contrast is a cerium silicate phase with an approximate Ce:Si:O composition ratio of 1:1:3 in an amorphous nature. The slightly nonstoichiometric composition arises due to the loss of mobile oxygen within the cerium silicate phase under the current irradiation condition. This nonequilibrium phase is formed as a direct result of ion-beam-induced chemical mixing caused by ballistic collisions between the incoming ion and the lattice atoms. This may hold promise in ion beam engineering of cerium silicates for microelectronic applications e.g., the fabrication of blue LEDs.

We report the X-ray pair distribution function analysis of the nanoscale order of an oxidic cobalt-based water-splitting catalyst and uncover an electrolyte dependence in the intermediate-range structure of catalyst films. Whereas catalyst films formed in borate electrolyte (CoBi) exhibit coherent domains consisting of 3-4 nm cobaltate clusters with up to three layers, films deposited in phosphate electrolyte (CoPi) comprise significantly smaller clusters that are not coherently stacked. These structural insights are correlated with marked differences in activity between CoPi and CoBi films. C1 [Farrow, Christopher L.; Billinge, Simon J.

The present mechanistic study gives insights for the rational development of this key transformation. The catalyst resting states and the rate law of the reaction have been identified. The reaction rate is solely dependent on the catalyst and alkene concentrations, and the turnover-limiting step is the migratory insertion of the alkene into a Rh-C(aryl) bond.

These porphyrinoids were prepared in good yields (35-50%) and display unusual multielectron redox and photochemical properties. Each phlorin can be oxidized up to three times at modest potentials and can be reduced twice. The electron-donating and electron-releasing properties of the ancillary aryl substituent attenuate the potentials of these redox events; phlorins containing electron-donating aryl groups are easier to oxidize and harder to reduce, while the opposite trend is observed for phlorins containing electron-withdrawing functionalities. Phlorin substitution also has a pronounced effect on the observed photophysics, as introduction of electron-releasing aryl groups on the periphery of the macrocycle is manifest in larger emission quantum yields and longer fluorescence lifetimes. Each phlorin displays an intriguing supramolecular chemistry and can bind 2 equiv of fluoride. This binding is allosteric in nature, and the strength of halide binding correlates with the ability of the phlorin to stabilize the buildup of charge. Moreover, fluoride binding to generate complexes of the form 3H(Phl(R)).2F(-) modulates the redox potentials of the parent phlorin. As such, titration of phlorin with a source of fluoride represents a facile, method to tune the ability of this class of porphyrinoid to absorb light and engage in redox chemistry.

TI How Constant Momentum Acceleration Decouples Energy and Space Focusing in Distance-of-Flight and Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometries SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR MASS SPECTROMETRY LA English DT Article DE Time-of-flight; Distance-of-flight; Turnaround time; Mass spectrometry; Glow discharge; Array detector ID INDUCTIVELY-COUPLED PLASMA; GLOW-DISCHARGE SOURCE; FOCAL-PLANE; IMPROVED RESOLUTION; DETECTOR ARRAY; ION DETECTION; SPECTROGRAPH; PERFORMANCE; DESIGN; EXTRACTION AB Resolution in time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOFMS) is ordinarily limited by the initial energy and space distributions within an instrument's acceleration region and by the length of the field-free flight zone. With gaseous ion sources, these distributions lead to systematic flight-time errors that cannot be simultaneously corrected with conventional static-field ion-focusing devices (i.e., an ion mirror). It is known that initial energy and space distributions produce non-linearly correlated errors in both ion velocity and exit time from the acceleration region. Here we reinvestigate an old acceleration technique, constant-momentum acceleration (CMA), to decouple the effects of initial energy and space distributions. In CMA, only initial ion energies (and not their positions) affect the velocity ions gain. Therefore, with CMA, the spatial distribution within the acceleration region can be manipulated without creating ion-velocity error. The velocity differences caused by a spread in initial ion energy can be corrected with an ion mirror. We discuss here the use of CMA and independent focusing of energy and space distributions for both distance-of-flight mass spectrometry (DOFMS) and TOFMS. Performance characteristics of our CMA-DOFMS and CMA-TOFMS instrument, fitted with a glow-discharge ionization source, are described. In CMA-DOFMS, resolving powers (FWHM) of greater than 1000 are achieved for atomic ions with a flight length of 285 mm. In CMA-TOFMS, only ions over a narrow range of m/z values can be energy-focused; however, the technique offers improved resolution for these focused ions, with resolving powers of greater than 2000 for a separation distance of 350 mm.

TI Architecture and assembly of the Gram-positive cell wall SO MOLECULAR MICROBIOLOGY LA English DT Article ID ESCHERICHIA-COLI; ELECTRON TOMOGRAPHY; MOLECULAR-DYNAMICS; BACILLUS-SUBTILIS; PEPTIDOGLYCAN; MREB; SACCULUS; SHAPE; NAMD AB The bacterial cell wall is a mesh polymer of peptidoglycan linear glycan strands cross-linked by flexible peptides that determines cell shape and provides physical protection. While the glycan strands in thin Gram-negative' peptidoglycan are known to run circumferentially around the cell, the architecture of the thicker Gram-positive' form remains unclear. Using electron cryotomography, here we show that Bacillus subtilis peptidoglycan is a uniformly dense layer with a textured surface. We further show it rips circumferentially, curls and thickens at free edges, and extends longitudinally when denatured. Molecular dynamics simulations show that only atomic models based on the circumferential topology recapitulate the observed curling and thickening, in support of an inside-to-outside' assembly process. We conclude that instead of being perpendicular to the cell surface or wrapped in coiled cables (two alternative models), the glycan strands in Gram-positive cell walls run circumferentially around the cell just as they do in Gram-negative cells. Together with providing insights into the architecture of the ultimate determinant of cell shape, this study is important because Gram-positive peptidoglycan is an antibiotic target crucial to the viability of several important rod-shaped pathogens including Bacillus anthracis, Listeria monocytogenes, and Clostridium difficile.

TI Dynamic switching of the spin circulation in tapered magnetic nanodisks SO NATURE NANOTECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article ID VORTEX CORE REVERSAL; PERMALLOY; EXCITATION; VORTICES; DRIVEN; STATE; DISKS; FIELD; DOTS AB Magnetic vortices are characterized by the sense of in-plane magnetization circulation and by the polarity of the vortex core. With each having two possible states, there are four possible stable magnetization configurations that can be utilized for a multibit memory cell. Dynamic control of vortex core polarity has been demonstrated using both alternating and pulsed magnetic fields and currents. Here, we show controlled dynamic switching of spin circulation in vortices using nanosecond field pulses by imaging the process with full-field soft X-ray transmission microscopy. The dynamic reversal process is controlled by far-from-equilibrium gyrotropic precession of the vortex core, and the reversal is achieved at significantly reduced field amplitudes when compared with static switching. We further show that both the field pulse amplitude and duration required for efficient circulation reversal can be controlled by appropriate selection of the disk geometry.

Hussain, Zahid Lanzara, Alessandra TI Photoelectron spin-flipping and texture manipulation in a topological insulator SO NATURE PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID SINGLE DIRAC CONE; SURFACE AB Recently discovered materials called three-dimensional topological insulators(1-5) constitute examples of symmetry-protected topological states in the absence of applied magnetic fields and cryogenic temperatures. A hallmark characteristic of these non-magnetic bulk insulators is their protected metallic Dirac fermion-like surface states. Electrons in these surface states are spin polarized with their spins governed by their momentum, resulting in a helical spin texture in momentum space(6). Spin- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy has been the only tool capable of directly observing this central feature with simultaneous energy, momentum and spin sensitivity(6-12). By using an innovative photoelectron spectrometer(13) with a high-flux laser-based light source, we discovered a surprising property of these surface electrons. We found that the spin polarization of the resulting photoelectrons can be manipulated in three dimensions through selection of the light polarization. These effects are due to the spin-dependent interaction of the helical surface electrons with light, which originates from strong spin-orbit coupling. Our results illustrate unusual scenarios in which the spin polarization of photoelectrons is completely different from that of the originating initial states. The results also provide the basis for a source of highly spin-polarized electrons with tunable polarization direction.

Vishwanath, Ashvin TI Topological order and absence of band insulators at integer filling in non-symmorphic crystals SO NATURE PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID ENERGY-BANDS; HALDANE-GAP; SRCU2(BO3)(2); ANTIFERROMAGNET; SPACE; STATE AB Band insulators appear in a crystalline system only when the filling-the number of electrons per unit cell and spin projection-is an integer. At fractional filling, an insulating phase that preserves all symmetries is a Mott insulator; that is, it is either gapless or, if gapped, exhibits fractionalized excitations and topological order. We raise the inverse question-at an integer filling is a band insulator always possible? Here we show that lattice symmetries may forbid a band insulator even at certain integer fillings, if the crystal is non-symmorphic-a property shared by most three-dimensional crystal structures. In these cases, one may infer the existence of topological order if the ground state is gapped and fully symmetric. This is demonstrated using a non-perturbative flux-threading argument, which has immediate applications to quantum spin systems and bosonic insulators in addition to electronic band structures in the absence of spin-orbit interactions.

Although a few intrinsic prokaryotic transcription terminators are used routinely, termination efficiencies have not been studied systematically. Here, we developed and validated a genetic architecture that enables reliable measurement of termination efficiencies. We then assembled a collection of 61 natural and synthetic terminators that collectively encode termination efficiencies across an similar to 800-fold dynamic range within Escherichia coli. We simulated co-transcriptional RNA folding dynamics to identify competing secondary structures that might interfere with terminator folding kinetics or impact termination activity. We found that structures extending beyond the core terminator stem are likely to increase terminator activity. By excluding terminators encoding such context-confounding elements, we were able to develop a linear sequence-function model that can be used to estimate termination efficiencies (r = 0.9, n = 31) better than models trained on all terminators (r = 0.67, n = 54). The resulting systematically measured collection of terminators should improve the engineering of synthetic genetic systems and also advance quantitative modeling of transcription termination.

We have applied this analysis to the investigation of microalloyed steels containing atomic clusters of Nb, C and N. As the degree of clustering increases, so does the tendency for simultaneous field evaporation of the clustered atoms. Although local magnification effects cause spatial distortions thereby lowering the spatial resolution of these ions specifically, strong correlations between their time of field evaporation and their chemistry are observed. Highlighting simultaneously field-evaporated atomic species is demonstrated to be a useful way to identify and visualize preferred solutesolute interactions. The timechemical correlation introduced here is conceptually different to conventional spatial-chemical based analyses, but can also reflect changes in the atomic arrangements in materials.

Based on testing and analysis of returned insulation material from earlier Hubble servicing missions, the space environment is known to have detrimental effects on the mechanical properties. The most recently retrieved MLI blankets were highly degraded with many cracks, limiting the material available for full-scale mechanical testing. As a result, micro-tensile experiments have been performed to characterize the effect of space exposure on the mechanical response of the outermost layer of the MLI This outer layer, 127 mu m thick fluorinated ethylene propylene with a 100 nm thick vapor deposited aluminum reflective coating, maintained significant tensile ductility but exhibited a degradation of strength that scales with severity of space exposure. This change in properties is attributed to damage from incident solar flux, atomic oxygen damage and thermal cycling. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

TI MEAN SPECTRAL ENERGY DISTRIBUTIONS AND BOLOMETRIC CORRECTIONS FOR LUMINOUS QUASARS SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL SUPPLEMENT SERIES LA English DT Article DE catalogs; infrared: galaxies; methods: statistical; quasars: general ID ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI; DIGITAL-SKY-SURVEY; RADIO-QUIET QUASARS; SUPERMASSIVE BLACK-HOLES; X-RAY OBSERVATIONS; C IV EMISSION; TYPE-1 QUASARS; PHOTOMETRIC SYSTEM; SEYFERT-GALAXIES; ACCRETION MODELS AB We explore the mid-infrared (mid-IR) through ultraviolet (UV) spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of 119,652 luminous broad-lined quasars with 0.064 < z < 5.46 using mid-IR data from Spitzer and WISE, near-infrared data from the Two Micron All Sky Survey and UKIDSS, optical data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, and UV data from the Galaxy Evolution Explorer. The mean SED requires a bolometric correction (relative to 2500 angstrom) of BC2500 (angstrom) = 2.75 +/- 0.40 using the integrated light from 1 mu m-2 keV, and we further explore the range of bolometric corrections exhibited by individual objects. In addition, we investigate the dependence of the mean SED on various parameters, particularly the UV luminosity for quasars with 0.5 less than or similar to z less than or similar to 3 and the properties of the UV emission lines for quasars with z greater than or similar to 1.6; the latter is a possible indicator of the strength of the accretion disk wind, which is expected to be SED-dependent. Luminosity-dependent mean SEDs show that, relative to the high-luminosity SED, low-luminosity SEDs exhibit a harder (bluer) far-UV spectral slope (alpha(UV)), a redder optical continuum, and less hot dust. Mean SEDs constructed instead as a function of UV emission line properties reveal changes that are consistent with known Principal Component Analysis trends. A potentially important contribution to the bolometric correction is the unseen extreme UV (EUV) continuum. Our work suggests that lower-luminosity quasars and/or quasars with disk-dominated broad emission lines may require an extra continuum component in the EUV that is not present (or much weaker) in high-luminosity quasars with strong accretion disk winds. As such, we consider four possible models and explore the resulting bolometric corrections. Understanding these various SED-dependent effects will be important for accurate determination of quasar accretion rates.

TI Constraint-based strain design using continuous modifications (CosMos) of flux bounds finds new strategies for metabolic engineering SO BIOTECHNOLOGY JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE Constraint-based modeling; Enzyme expression; Flux balance analysis; OptKnock; Strain design ID ESCHERICHIA-COLI K-12; KNOCKOUT STRATEGIES; PERTURBATIONS; FRAMEWORK; NETWORKS; GENE; RECONSTRUCTION; OVERPRODUCTION; OPTIMIZATION; OPTIMALITY AB In recent years, a growing number of metabolic engineering strain design techniques have employed constraint-based modeling to determine metabolic and regulatory network changes which are needed to improve chemical production. These methods use systems-level analysis of metabolism to help guide experimental efforts by identifying deletions, additions, downregulations, and upregulations of metabolic genes that will increase biological production of a desired metabolic product. In this work, we propose a new strain design method with continuous modifications (CosMos) that provides strategies for deletions, downregulations, and upregulations of fluxes that will lead to the production of the desired products. The method is conceptually simple and easy to implement, and can provide additional strategies over current approaches. We found that the method was able to find strain design strategies that required fewer modifications and had larger predicted yields than strategies from previous methods in example and genome-scale networks. Using CosMos, we identified modification strategies for producing a variety of metabolic products, compared strategies derived from Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolic models, and examined how imperfect implementation may affect experimental outcomes. This study gives a powerful and flexible technique for strain engineering and examines some of the unexpected outcomes that may arise when strategies are implemented experimentally.

TI SMET: Systematic multiple enzyme targeting - a method to rationally design optimal strains for target chemical overproduction SO BIOTECHNOLOGY JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE Elementary mode analysis; Ensemble metabolic modeling; Minimal cut set; Rational strain design; Systematic multiple enzyme targeting (SMET) ID METABOLIC-CONTROL ANALYSIS; IN-SILICO DESIGN; ESCHERICHIA-COLI; ELEMENTARY MODES; MICROBIAL-PRODUCTION; KNOCKOUT STRATEGIES; ADAPTIVE EVOLUTION; PATHWAY ANALYSIS; NETWORKS; FLUX AB Identifying multiple enzyme targets for metabolic engineering is very critical for redirecting cellular metabolism to achieve desirable phenotypes, e. g., overproduction of a target chemical. The challenge is to determine which enzymes and how much of these enzymes should be manipulated by adding, deleting, under-, and/or over-expressing associated genes. In this study, we report the development of a systematic multiple enzyme targeting method (SMET), to rationally design optimal strains for target chemical overproduction. The SMET method combines both elementary mode analysis and ensemble metabolic modeling to derive SMET metrics including l-values and c-values that can identify rate-limiting reaction steps and suggest which enzymes and how much of these enzymes to manipulate to enhance product yields, titers, and productivities. We illustrated, tested, and validated the SMET method by analyzing two networks, a simple network for concept demonstration and an Escherichia coli metabolic network for aromatic amino acid overproduction. The SMET method could systematically predict simultaneous multiple enzyme targets and their optimized expression levels, consistent with experimental data from the literature, without performing an iterative sequence of single-enzyme perturbation. The SMET method was much more efficient and effective than single-enzyme perturbation in terms of computation time and finding improved solutions.

In this study, we present a computational assessment of biochemical production in Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 (Synechococcus 7002), a fast growing cyanobacterium whose genome has been sequenced, and for which genetic modification methods have been developed. We evaluated the maximum theoretical yields (mol product per mol CO2 or mol photon) of producing various chemicals under photoautotrophic and dark conditions using a genome-scale metabolic model of Synechococcus 7002. We found that the yields were lower under dark conditions, compared to photoautotrophic conditions, due to the limited amount of energy and reductant generated from glycogen. We also examined the effects of photon and CO2 limitations on chemical production under photoautotrophic conditions. In addition, using various computational methods such as minimization of metabolic adjustment (MOMA), relative metabolic change (RELATCH), and OptORF, we identified gene-knockout mutants that are predicted to improve chemical production under photoautotrophic and/or dark anoxic conditions. These computational results are useful for metabolic engineering of cyanobacteria to synthesize value-added products.

We review the recent theoretical literature on electrolyte decomposition and emphasize the modeling work on two-electron reduction of ethylene carbonate (EC, a key battery organic solvent). One of the two-electron pathways, which releases CO gas, is re-examined using simple quantum chemistry calculations. Excess electrons are shown to preferentially attack EC in the order (broken EC-) > (intact EC-) > EC. This confirms the viability of two electron processes and emphasizes that they need to be considered when interpreting SEI experiments. A speculative estimate of the crossover between one- and two-electron regimes under a homogeneous reaction zone approximation is proposed. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

All complexes have the formula [Ln(2)(HL)(2)(H2L)(NO3)(py)(H2O)] (Ln = La (1), Ce (2), Pr (3), Nd (4), Sm (5), Eu (6), Gd (7), Tb (8), Dy (9), Ho (10), Er (11), Tm (12), Yb (13), Lu (14), Y (15); py = pyridine). Complexes of La to Yb and Y have been crystallographically characterized to reveal that the two metal ions are encapsulated within two distinct coordination environments of differing size. Whereas one site maintains the coordination number (nine) through the whole series, the other one increases from nine to ten owing to a change in the coordination mode of an NO3- ligand. This series offers a unique opportunity to study in detail the lanthanide contraction within complexes of more than one metal. This analysis shows that various representative parameters proportional to this contraction follow a quadratic decay as a function of the number n of f electrons. Slater's model for the atomic radii has been used to extract, from these decays, the shielding constant of 4f electrons. The average of O center dot center dot center dot O distances within the coordination polyhedra shared by both metals and of the Ln center dot center dot center dot Ln separations follow also a quadratic decay, therefore showing that such dependence holds also for parameters that receive the contribution of two lanthanide ions simultaneously. The magnetic behavior has been studied for all nondiamagnetic complexes. It reveals the effect of the spin-orbit coupling and a weak antiferromagnetic interaction between both metals. Photoluminescent studies of all the complexes in the series reveal a single broad emission band in the visible region, which is related to the coordinated ligand. On the other hand, the Nd, Er, and Yb complexes show features in the near-IR region due to metal-based transitions.

In the case of cerium, the formation of a 2: 1 Ce/BQ complex shifts the two-electron reduction of BQ by greater than or equal to 1.6 V to a more favorable potential. Reactivity investigations were extended to other REIII (RE = La, Pr, Nd) complexes where the resulting highly electron-deficient quinone ligands afforded isolation of the first lanthanide quinhydrone-type charge-transfer complexes. The large reduction-potential shift associated with the formation of 2: 1 Ce/BQ complexes illustrate the potential of Ce complexes to function both as a Lewis acid and an electron source in redox chemistry and organic-substrate activation.

Few-layer graphene and its functionalized form offer the opportunity to investigate the nature of graphitic active sites for oxidation reactions in well-defined carbon-based catalysts. In this paper, we report the utilization of oxygen-functionalized few-layer graphene sheets containing variable amounts of oxygen in the heterogeneous catalytic oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) reaction of isobutane at 400oC. Interestingly, there is poor correlation between oxygen content and catalytic performance. Carbonyl groups were found to be highly stable, and graphene that had higher sp2 character, the lowest oxygen content, and fewer edge sites presented the lowest specific rate of isobutane reaction, although the isobutene selectivity remained high. The reoxidation of the graphene surface occurred at the same rate as the ODH reaction suggesting a MarsvanKrevelen type of mechanism, similar to that which takes place on oxide surfaces. These results appear to suggest that a higher fraction of exposed edges where oxygen active sites can be formed and exchanged should lead to more active catalysts for ODH reactions.

Turnover rates, measured under conditions of strict kinetic control, are proportional to O-2 pressure and inhibited by CO; these data are consistent with kinetically-relevant O-2 dissociation steps on cluster surfaces covered partially by chemisorbed CO (CO*). O-2 dissociation also limits CO oxidation rates at higher temperatures, which lead to bare Pt surfaces, and at lower temperatures, where saturation CO* coverages require O-2 dissociation to be assisted by CO* because of a dearth of vacant sites. At the intermediate temperatures used here, kinetic coupling between irreversible O-2 activation and CO* reactions with O* causes edge and corner atoms to become decorated by unreactive O* species; consequently, turnovers occur predominantly on exposed low-index planes, which account for a decreasing fraction of exposed atoms with increasing metal dispersion. These decoration effects confer the appearance of structure sensitivity to the prototypical structure insensitive reaction by rendering only a fraction of exposed metal atoms able to turnover. These active sites, residing at exposed low-index planes, show similar CO* binding energies on large and small Pt clusters,,but their relative abundance decreases as clusters become smaller, leading to a sharp decrease in turnover rates with increasing Pt dispersion. These trends stand in marked contrast with the absence of cluster size effects on CO oxidation rates at low temperatures, where high CO* coverages dampen the intrinsic site non-Uniformity of metal clusters, and at high temperatures, where all Pt atoms remain accessible irrespective of coordination and active for catalytic turnovers.

This materials system is not suitable due to the cost and scarcity of the constituent elements, but the vacancy behavior is well understood and will provide a valuable test case for other systems more suitable from the standpoint of cost and abundance of raw materials, which also possesses these vacancy features, but whose structural characterization is lacking at this stage. We find that the nominally defect free phase CuGaTe2 possess the highest ZT (ZT=(ST)-T-2/rho kappa, where S is the Seebeck coefficient and rho is the electrical resistivity kappa is the thermal conductivity and T is the absolute temperature) which approaches 1 at 840 K and seems to continuously increase above this temperature. This result is due to the unexpectedly low thermal conductivity found for this material at high temperature. The low thermal conductivity was caused by strong Umklapp (thermally resistive scattering processes involving three phonons) phonon scattering. We find that due to the coincidentally strong scattering of carriers by the structural defects that higher concentrations of these features lead to poor electrical transport properties and decreased ZT.

Investigating the process of biofilm formation is critical for advancing our understanding of microbes in their most common mode of living. Despite progress in characterizing the effect of various environmental factors on biofilm formation, work remains to be done in the realm of exploring the inter-relationship between hydrodynamics, microbial adhesion and biofilm growth. We investigate the impact of secondary flow structures, which are created due to semi-confined features in a microfluidic device, on biofilm formation of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1. Secondary flows are important in many natural and artificial systems, but few studies have investigated their role in biofilm formation. To direct secondary flows in the creeping flow regime, where the Reynolds number is low, we flow microbe-laden culture through microscale confinement features. We demonstrate that these confinement features can result in pronounced changes in biofilm dynamics as a function of the fluid flow rate.

As in the case of 3D halo formation, we find that initially cold, nearly homogeneous particle distributions collapse to approach a final equilibrium state with a universal density profile. At small radii, this attractor exhibits a power-law behaviour in density, rho(x) proportional to vertical bar x vertical bar(-gamma crit), gamma(crit) similar or equal to 0.47, slightly but significantly shallower than the value gamma = 1/2 suggested previously. This state develops from the initial conditions through a process of phase mixing and violent relaxation. This process preserves the energy ranks of particles. By warming the initial conditions, we illustrate a cross-over from this power-law final state to a final state containing a homogeneous core. We further show that inhomogeneous but cold power-law initial conditions, with initial exponent gamma(i) > gamma(crit), do not evolve towards the attractor but reach a final state that retains the original power-law behaviour in the interior of the profile, indicating a bifurcation in the final state as a function of the initial exponent. Our results rely on a high-fidelity event-driven simulation technique. C1 [Schulz, A. E.; Jungman, Gerard] Los Alamos Natl Lab, Los Alamos, NM 87545 USA.

We show that due to the temperature floor set by the cosmic microwave background, there is a maximum distance from their host stars beyond which gas giants cannot form via GI, which decreases with their present-day age. Furthermore, we show that planet formation via GI is not possible at metallicities less than or similar to 10(-4) Z(circle dot), due to the reduced cooling efficiency of low-metallicity gas. This critical metallicity for planet formation via GI implies a minimum distance from their host stars of similar to 6 au within which planets cannot form via GI; at higher metallicity, this minimum distance can be significantly larger, out to several tens of au. We show that these maximum and minimum distances significantly constrain the number of observed planets to date that are likely to have formed via GI at their present locations. That said, the critical metallicity we find for GI is well below that for core accretion to operate; thus, the first planets may have formed via GI, although only within a narrow region of their host circumstellar discs.

We assume an analytic reionization model and an ionization fraction with f(NL) induced scale-dependent bias. We estimate the angular power spectrum of the cross-correlation of the CMB and 21 cm. In order to evaluate the detectability, the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio for only a single redshift slice is also calculated for current and future observations, such as CMB observations by Planck satellite and 21cm observations by Omniscope. The existence of the f(NL) increases the signal of the cross-correlation at large scales and the amplification does not depend on the reionization parameters in our reionization model. The obtained S/N ratio is 2.8 (2.4) for f(NL) = 10 (100) in our fiducial reionization model, although the cosmic variance suppressed the S/N ratio on such scales. Our work suggests that in the absence of significant foregrounds and systematics, the autocorrelations of 21 cm are a better probe of f(NL) than the cross-correlations (as expected since they depend on b(2)), while the cross-correlations contain only one factor of b. Nevertheless, it is interesting to examine the cross-correlations between 21 cm and CMB, as the S/N ratio is not negligible and it is more likely that we can rid ourselves of systematics and foregrounds that are common to both CMB and 21 cm experiments than completely clean 21 cm of all of the possible foregrounds and systematics in large scales.

We have determined crystal structures of the extracytoplasmic sensing domain of KinD, which was copurified and crystallized with a pyruvate ligand. The structure of a ligand-binding site mutant was also determined; it was copurified and crystallized with an acetate ligand. The structure of the KinD extracytoplasmic segment is similar to that of several other sensing domains of signal transduction proteins and is composed of tandem Per-Arnt-Sim (PAS)-like domains. The KinD ligand-binding site is located on the membrane distal PAS-like domain and appears to be highly selective; a single mutation, R131A, abolishes pyruvate binding and the mutant binds acetate instead. Differential scanning fluorimetry, using a variety of monocarboxylic and dicarboxylic acids, identified pyruvate, propionate, and butyrate but not lactate, acetate, or malate as KinD ligands. A recent report found that malate induces biofilm formation in a KinD-dependent manner. It was suggested that malate might induce a metabolic shift and increased secretion of the KinD ligand of unknown identity. The structure and binding assays now suggests that this ligand is pyruvate and/or other small monocarboxylic acids. In summary, this study gives a first insight into the identity of a molecular ligand for one of the five phosphorelay kinases of B. subtilis.

MCPs carrying out three different metabolic functions have been characterized in some detail, while gene expression and bioinformatics studies have implicated other types, including one believed to perform glycyl radical-based metabolism of 1,2-propanediol (Grp). Here we report the crystal structure of a protein (GrpN), which is presumed to be part of the shell of a Grp-type MCP in Rhodospirillum rubrum F11. GrpN is homologous to a family of proteins (EutN/PduN/CcmL/CsoS4) whose members have been implicated in forming the vertices of MCP shells. Consistent with that notion, the crystal structure of GrpN revealed a pentameric assembly. That observation revived an outstanding question about the oligomeric state of this protein family: pentameric forms (for CcmL and CsoS4A) and a hexameric form (for EutN) had both been observed in previous crystal structures. To clarify these confounding observations, we revisited the case of EutN. We developed a molecular biology-based method for accurately determining the number of subunits in homo-oligomeric proteins, and found unequivocally that EutN is a pentamer in solution. Based on these convergent findings, we propose the name bacterial microcompartment vertex for this special family of MCP shell proteins.

TI Impact of Biodiesel-Based Na on the Selective Catalytic Reduction of NOx by NH3 Over Cu-Zeolite Catalysts SO TOPICS IN CATALYSIS LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 9th International Congress on Catalysis and Automotive Pollution Control (CAPoC) CY AUG 29-31, 2012 CL Brussels, BELGIUM DE Cu-zeolite SCR; Accelerated aging; Na contamination; Biodiesel; Light-duty; Heavy-duty AB A single-cylinder diesel engine was used to investigate the impact of Na on Cu-zeolite SCR catalysts using 20 % bio- and petrol-diesel fuel blend (B20) with elevated levels of Na. The Na exposure was performed on light-duty (DOC-SCR-DPF) and heavy-duty (DOC-DPF-SCR) configurations of the diesel emissions control devices. The accelerated Na aging is achieved by exposing the system to elevated levels of Na that represent full useful life exposure (700,000 km) and periodically increasing the exhaust temperature to replicate DPF regeneration. After aging, the NOx performance and relevant chemistry of the SCR catalysts were evaluated in a bench flow reactor. The SCR in the DOC-SCR-DPF configuration was found to be severely affected by Na contamination, especially when NO was the only NOx species in the simulated exhaust gases. In the DOC-DPF-SCR configuration, no impact is observed in the SCR NOx reduction activity. Electron microprobe analysis (EPMA) reveals that Na contamination on the SCR samples in the DOC-SCR-DPF configuration is present throughout the length of the catalysts. C1 [Brookshear, D.

We conducted automated flow reactor experiments on a commercial LNT catalyst to identify opportunities and challenges associated with the higher temperatures and higher NOx concentrations expected in lean gasoline applications. Overall NOx conversion was quite high at low to moderate temperatures, but dropped off at high temperatures. The decrease in NOx conversion with temperature was worse for higher inlet NOx concentrations. As expected from equilibrium considerations, the catalyst stored more NOx under higher gas phase NOx concentrations, but that NOx was rapidly released during the rich phase and slipped out of the catalyst before it could be converted to N-2 by incoming reductant. This rich phase NOx release was the primary factor limiting performance of the catalyst at high temperatures, and resulted in significant spikes of NOx that would likely exceed any not-to-exceed regulated emissions levels. N2O production was also significant, and increased with NOx concentration. The catalyst made very little NH3 at high temperatures. NH3 yield was significant at the lowest operating temperature studied, but it decreased with increasing NOx concentration.

A series of isothermal pulsed oxidation experiments quantified reaction rates as a function of gas composition, temperature, flow rate, and soot consumption. An O-2 chemisorption method measured the soot active surface area as filter regeneration progressed. We developed a rate law with an explicit dependence on carbon surface area and estimated the associated kinetic parameters from the pulsed oxidation data. The resulting rate expression successfully captures the soot oxidation behavior over a wide range of operating conditions.

TI Microstructural Evolution and Mechanical Properties of Simulated Heat-Affected Zones in an Iron-Copper Based Multicomponent Steel SO WELDING JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE High-Strength Steels; Fracture; Weld Process Simulation ID CU-BASED STEEL; LOW-CARBON STEELS; ACICULAR FERRITE; COARSENING KINETICS; TEMPORAL EVOLUTION; MULTIPHASE SYSTEMS; WELD DEPOSITS; ALPHA-FE; PRECIPITATION; SEGREGATION AB NUCu-140 is a recently developed steel that relies on nano-scale Cu-rich precipitates to achieve yield strength levels in excess of 825 MPa (120 ksi). In order for NUCu-140 to be utilized as a structural material, a comprehensive welding strategy must be developed. Since NUCu-140 is a precipitation-strengthened material, this strategy must include a detailed understanding of the precipitate evolution that occurs in the heat-affected zone (HAZ) as a result of welding thermal cycles. A combination of dilatometry, HAZ simulations, and mechanical testing are presented to determine the mechanical properties that develop in the HAZ of NUCu-140. MatCalc kinetic simulations and Russell-Brown strengthening calculations were conducted to model the observed precipitate and mechanical property trends. The microhardness and tensile testing results reveal that local softening is expected in the HAZ of NUCu-140 welds. MatCalc simulations show that a combination of partial dissolution, full dissolution, and re-precipitation of the Cu-rich precipitates is expected to occur in the various HAZ regions. The predicted precipitate parameters are used as input to the Russell-Brown strengthening model to estimate the changes in strength expected due to changes in precipitate features. The measured and predicted strength levels exhibit very good quantitative agreement for the low-heat-input simulations and reasonable qualitative agreement for the high-heat-input weld simulations.

The reaction atmosphere as well as the degree of mixing of Cu2O and MWCNTs was varied, and the resulting products were characterized as a function of microwave exposure time. Irradiation of thoroughly mixed Cu2O and MWCNTs under argon for 45s produced Cu-MWCNT composites with high MWCNT loading and high hardness. This new approach for fabricating carbon nanotube-reinforced metal matrix composites eliminates many of the challenges associated with traditional methods while requiring a fraction of the time and energy.

Unlike the previous one-moment cloud microphysics scheme, the new scheme produces a reasonable representation of cloud particle size and number concentration. This scheme captures the observed spatial variations in cloud droplet number concentrations. Simulated ice crystal number concentrations in cirrus clouds qualitatively agree with in situ observations. The longwave and shortwave cloud forcings are in better agreement with observations. Sensitivity tests show that the column cloud droplet number concentrations calculated from two different droplet activation parameterizations are similar. However, ice crystal number concentration in mixed-phased clouds is sensitive to different heterogeneous ice nucleation formulations. The simulation with high ice crystal number concentration in mixed-phase clouds has less liquid water path and weaker cloud forcing. Furthermore, ice crystal number concentration in cirrus clouds is sensitive to different ice nucleation parameterizations. Sensitivity tests also suggest that the impact of pre-existing ice crystals on homogeneous freezing in old clouds should be taken into account.

In one such technology, a specialized enzyme substrate probe is presented to a biological mixture potentially exhibiting enzymatic activity, followed by an in situ enrichment step using fluorous interactions and nanostructure-initiator mass spectrometry. This technology, known as Nimzyme, shows great potential but is limited by the need to synthesize custom substrate analogs. We describe a synthetic route that simplifies the production of these probes by fashioning their perfluorinated invariant portion as an alkylating agent. This way, a wide variety of compounds can be effectively transformed into enzyme activity probes. As a proof of principle, a chloramphenicol analog synthesized according to this methodology was used to detect chloramphenicol acetyltransferase activity in cell lysate. This verifies the validity of the synthetic strategy employed and constitutes the first reported application of Nimzyme to a non-carbohydrate-active enzyme. The simplified synthetic approach presented here may help advance the application of mass spectrometry to high-throughput enzyme activity determination.

We followed the responses of indigenous communities of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria, ammonia-oxidizing archaea, and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria to the addition of water to laboratory incubations of soils taken from two California annual grasslands following a typically dry Mediterranean summer. By quantifying transcripts for a subunit of bacterial and archaeal ammonia monooxygenases (amoA) and a bacterial nitrite oxidoreductase (nxrA) in soil from 15 min to 72 h after water addition, we identified transcriptional response patterns for each of these three groups of nitrifiers. An increase in quantity of bacterial amoA transcripts was detectable within 1 h of wet-up and continued until the size of the ammonium pool began to decrease, reflecting a possible role of transcription in upregulation of nitrification after drought-induced stasis. In one soil, the pulse of amoA transcription lasted for less than 24 h, demonstrating the transience of transcriptional pools and the tight coupling of transcription to the local soil environment. Analysis of 16S rRNA using a high-density microarray suggested that nitrite-oxidizing Nitrobacter spp. respond in tandem with ammonia-oxidizing bacteria while nitrite-oxidizing Nitrospina spp. and Nitrospira bacteria may not. Archaeal ammonia oxidizers may respond slightly later than bacterial ammonia oxidizers but may maintain elevated transcription longer. Despite months of desiccation-induced inactivation, we found rapid transcriptional response by all three groups of soil nitrifiers.

Between 2008 October and 2010 December, two independent receiver arrays were deployed sequentially on a 1.4 m side-fed Dragonian telescope. The polarimeters that form the focal planes use a compact design based on high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) that provides simultaneous measurements of the Stokes parameters Q, U, and I in a single module. The 17-element Q-band polarimeter array, with a central frequency of 43.1 GHz, has the best sensitivity (69 mu Ks(1/2)) and the lowest instrumental systematic errors ever achieved in this band, contributing to the tensor-to-scalar ratio at r < 0.1. The 84-element W-band polarimeter array has a sensitivity of 87 mu Ks(1/2) at a central frequency of 94.5 GHz. It has the lowest systematic errors to date, contributing at r < 0.01. The two arrays together cover multipoles in the range l similar to 25-975. These are the largest HEMT-based arrays deployed to date. This article describes the design, calibration, performance, and sources of systematic error of the instrument. C1 [Bischoff, C.; Brizius, A.; Buder, I.; Kusaka, A.; Smith, K.

TI THE CLUSTER AND FIELD GALAXY ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEUS FRACTION AT z=1-1.5: EVIDENCE FOR A REVERSAL OF THE LOCAL ANTICORRELATION BETWEEN ENVIRONMENT AND AGN FRACTION SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE galaxies: active; galaxies: clusters: general; galaxies: evolution; X-rays: galaxies; X-rays: galaxies: clusters; X-rays: general ID SUPERMASSIVE BLACK-HOLES; DIGITAL-SKY-SURVEY; IRAC SHALLOW SURVEY; SIMILAR-TO 1; CHANDRA MULTIWAVELENGTH PROJECT; ULTRALUMINOUS INFRARED GALAXIES; FORMATION-DENSITY RELATION; EMISSION-LINE GALAXIES; HUBBLE-SPACE-TELESCOPE; LOW-REDSHIFT CLUSTERS AB The fraction of cluster galaxies that host luminous active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is an important probe of AGN fueling processes, the cold interstellar medium at the centers of galaxies, and how tightly black holes and galaxies co-evolve. We present a new measurement of the AGN fraction in a sample of 13 clusters of galaxies (M >= 10(14) M-circle dot) at 1 < z < 1.5 selected from the Spitzer/IRAC Shallow Cluster Survey, as well as the field fraction in the immediate vicinity of these clusters, and combine these data with measurements from the literature to quantify the relative evolution of cluster and field AGN from the present to z similar to 3. We estimate that the cluster AGN fraction at 1 < z < 1.5 is f(A) = 3.0(-1.4)(+2.4)% for AGNs with a rest-frame, hard X-ray luminosity greater than L-X,L- H >= 10(44) erg s(-1). This fraction is measured relative to all cluster galaxies more luminous than M-3.6*(z)+ 1, where M-3.6*(z) is the absolute magnitude of the break in the galaxy luminosity function at the cluster redshift in the IRAC 3.6 mu m bandpass. The cluster AGN fraction is 30 times greater than the 3 sigma upper limit on the value for AGNs of similar luminosity at z similar to 0.25, as well as more than an order of magnitude greater than the AGN fraction at z similar to 0.75. AGNs with L-X,L- H >= 10(43) erg s(-1) exhibit similarly pronounced evolution with redshift. In contrast to the local universe, where the luminous AGN fraction is higher in the field than in clusters, the X-ray and MIR-selected AGN fractions in the field and clusters are consistent at 1 < z < 1.5. This is evidence that the cluster AGN population has evolved more rapidly than the field population from z similar to 1.5 to the present. This environment-dependent AGN evolution mimics the more rapid evolution of star-forming galaxies in clusters relative to the field.

TI HIGH-ENERGY EMISSION FROM THE COMPOSITE SUPERNOVA REMNANT MSH 15-56 SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE gamma rays: ISM; ISM: individual objects (MSH 15-56, G326.1-1.8); ISM: supernova remnants; pulsars: general; X-rays: ISM ID LARGE-AREA TELESCOPE; PULSAR WIND NEBULA; CHANDRA OBSERVATIONS; EVOLUTION; CATALOG; G326.3-1.8; MODEL; RAY AB MSH 15-56 (G326.3-1.8) is a composite supernova remnant (SNR) that consists of an SNR shell and a displaced pulsar wind nebula (PWN) in the radio. We present XMM-Newton and Chandra X-ray observations of the remnant that reveal a compact source at the tip of the radio PWN and complex structures that provide evidence for mixing of the supernova (SN) ejecta with PWN material following a reverse shock interaction. The X-ray spectra are well fitted by a non-thermal power-law model whose photon index steepens with distance from the presumed pulsar, and a thermal component with an average temperature of 0.55 keV. The enhanced abundances of silicon and sulfur in some regions, and the similar temperature and ionization timescale, suggest that much of the X-ray emission can be attributed to SN ejecta that have either been heated by the reverse shock or swept up by the PWN. We find one region with a lower temperature of 0.3 keV that appears to be in ionization equilibrium. Assuming the Sedov model, we derive a number of SNR properties, including an age of 16,500 yr. Modeling of the gamma-ray emission detected by Fermi shows that the emission may originate from the reverse shock-crushed PWN.

TI MODERATE CIV ABSORBER SYSTEMS REQUIRE 10(12) M-circle dot DARK MATTER HALOS AT z similar to 2.3: A CROSS-CORRELATION STUDY OF CIV ABSORBER SYSTEMS AND QUASARS IN SDSS-III BOSS DR9 SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE intergalactic medium; large-scale structure of universe; quasars: absorption lines ID DIGITAL SKY SURVEY; OSCILLATION SPECTROSCOPIC SURVEY; BARYON ACOUSTIC-OSCILLATIONS; ABSORPTION-LINE SYSTEMS; GALAXY REDSHIFT SURVEY; 2-POINT CORRELATION-FUNCTION; LUMINOUS RED GALAXIES; LARGE-SCALE BIAS; C-IV ABSORPTION; DATA RELEASE 9 AB We measure the two-point cross-correlation function of CIV absorber systems and quasars, using spectroscopic data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS; Data Release 9). The 19,701 quasars and 6149 CIV "moderate" absorbers, 0.28 angstrom < rest-frame equivalent width (EW) < 5 angstrom, in our study cover a redshift range of 2.1 < z < 2.5 over 3300 deg(2) and represent a factor of two increase in sample size over previous investigations. We find a correlation scale length and slope of the redshift-space cross-correlation function of s(0) = 8.46 +/- 1.24 Mpc, gamma = 1.68 +/- 0.19, in the redshift-space range 10 < s < 100 Mpc. We find a projected cross-correlation function of CIV absorption systems and quasars of r(0) = 7.76 +/- 2.80 Mpc, gamma = 1.74 +/- 0.21. We measure the combined quasar and CIV bias to be b(QSO)bCIV = 8.81 +/- 2.28. Using an estimate of b(QSO) from the quasar auto-correlation function we find b(CIV) = 2.38 +/- 0.62. This b(CIV) implies that EW > 0.28 angstrom CIV absorbers at z similar to 2.3 are typically found in dark matter halos that have masses >= 10(11.3)-10(13.4) M-circle dot at that redshift. The complete BOSS sample will triple the number of both quasars and absorption systems and increase the power of this cross-correlation measurement by a factor of two.

While the primordial initial mass function (IMF) remains unknown, recent evidence from numerical simulations and stellar archaeology suggests that some Pop III stars may have had lower masses than previously thought, 15-50 M-circle dot in addition to 50-500 M-circle dot. The detection of Pop III supernovae (SNe) by JWST, WFIRST, or the TMT could directly probe the primordial IMF for the first time. We present numerical simulations of 15-40 M-circle dot Pop III core-collapse SNe performed with the Los Alamos radiation hydrodynamics code RAGE. We find that they will be visible in the earliest galaxies out to z similar to 10-15, tracing their star formation rates and in some cases revealing their positions on the sky. Since the central engines of Pop III and solar-metallicity core-collapse SNe are quite similar, future detection of any Type II SNe by next-generation NIR instruments will in general be limited to this epoch.

These structurally diverse groups of B12 binding proteins perform various important biological activities, both by transporting B12 as well as catalyzing various biological reactions. An in-depth comparative analysis of these structures was carried out using PDB coordinates of a carefully chosen database of B12 binding proteins to correlate the overall folding of the molecule with phylogeny, the B12 interactions, and with their biological function. The structures of these proteins are discussed in the context of this comparative analysis. (C) 2013 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.

Corporate sustainability, which helps firms and outside stakeholders monitor the impacts of business operations, has emerged as a framework for engagement with industry on its nonproliferation responsibilities. However, the existing literature has not considered how to integrate nonproliferation into the current infrastructure of corporate sustainability, particularly into voluntary reporting standards or socially responsible investment analysis. These tools are essential market mechanisms that incentivize superior behavior on other challenges such as environmentally responsible management, respect for human rights, and fair labor practices. The authors outline the history of corporate sustainability and argue that nonproliferation should be considered a sustainability issue. They propose a nonproliferation pledge and a series of nonproliferation indicators as potential first steps that could build awareness and distinguish between firms based on how successful they are at meeting nonproliferation goals.

The forest serves as a 'carbon scrubber' or 'carbon remover' that provides continuous sequestration (negative emissions). Earlier estimates of the theoretical potential of wood harvest and storage (WHS) based on coarse wood production rates were 10 +/- 5 GtC y(-1). Starting from this physical limit, here we apply a number of practical constraints: (1) land not available due to agriculture; (2) forest set aside as protected areas, assuming 50 % in the tropics and 20 % in temperate and boreal forests; (3) forests difficult to access due to steep terrain; (4) wood use for other purposes such as timber and paper. This 'top-down' approach yields a WHS potential 2.8 GtC y(-1). Alternatively, a 'bottom-up' approach, assuming more efficient wood use without increasing harvest, finds 0.1-0.5 GtC y(-1) available for carbon sequestration. We suggest a range of 1-3 GtC y(-1) carbon sequestration potential if major effort is made to expand managed forests and/or to increase harvest intensity. The implementation of such a scheme at our estimated lower value of 1 GtC y(-1) would imply a doubling of the current world wood harvest rate. This can be achieved by harvesting wood at a moderate harvesting intensity of 1.2 tC ha(-1) y(-1), over a forest area of 8 Mkm(2) (800 Mha). To achieve the higher value of 3 GtC y(-1), forests need to be managed this way on half of the world's forested land, or on a smaller area but with higher harvest intensity. We recommend WHS be considered part of the portfolio of climate mitigation and adaptation options that needs further research.

The model includes 16 end use categories and covers 11 individual countries plus the European Union. BUENAS is a bottom-up stock accounting model that predicts energy consumption for each type of equipment in each country according to engineering-based estimates of annual unit energy consumption, scaled by projections of equipment stock. Energy demand in each scenario is determined by equipment stock, usage, intensity, and efficiency. When available, BUENAS uses sales forecasts taken from country studies to project equipment stock. Otherwise, BUENAS uses an econometric model of household appliance uptake developed by the authors. Once the business as usual scenario is established, a high-efficiency policy scenario is constructed that includes an improvement in the efficiency of equipment installed in 2015 or later. Policy case efficiency targets represent current "best practice" and include standards already established in a major economy or well-defined levels known to enjoy a significant market share in a major economy. BUENAS calculates energy savings according to the difference in energy demand in the two scenarios. Greenhouse gas emission mitigation is then calculated using a forecast of electricity carbon factor. We find that mitigation of 1075 mt annual CO2 emissions is possible by 2030 from adopting current best practices of appliance efficiency policies. This represents a 17 % reduction in emissions in the business as usual case in that year.

Organizations are experiencing difficulty in finding people who are knowledgeable about and experienced in the evaluation of energy efficiency programs. Accordingly, there is a need to assess the training needs of the energy efficiency evaluation community (for both new and "experienced" evaluators). This paper presents the results of a recent survey conducted by the International Energy Program Evaluation Conference (IEPEC) on energy efficiency evaluation training needs and contrasts those findings with the findings from a survey conducted by the American Evaluation Association on young evaluators (those people in the field < 5 years) and another by the Association of Energy Services Professionals. This analysis is also complemented by a brief survey of members of the 2012 Rome Conference IEPEC Planning Committee on international needs.

The first set of technical issues deals with the evaluation of (1) persistence, (2) behavior and behavior change, and (3) rebound. We provide an overview of the importance of these issues, discuss key data collection and analytical challenges involved in evaluating them, and identify some recent methodological advances that have been made in these areas. These technical issues are becoming more important as energy efficiency and demand side management are increasingly being relied upon as a means of achieving long-term energy resource and environmental objectives. The second set of policy issues deals with (1) the evaluation of energy efficiency at the "policy" rather than the "program" level, (2) the use of "top-down" rather than "bottom-up" evaluation of energy efficiency programs and policies, and (3) closing the loop between evaluators and implementers. We provide an overview of the importance of these issues, particularly as seen by policymakers at the state, federal, and international levels.

TI Detection and role of trace impurities in high-performance organic solar cells SO ENERGY & ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID PALLADIUM NANOPARTICLES; POLYMER; REMOVAL; TRAPS AB Trace impurities in organic solar cells, such as those from residual catalyst material in conjugated polymers, are often ignored but are known to deleteriously affect device performance. Batch-to-batch variations in the nature and quantity of such impurities leads to widespread issues with irreproducible optoelectronic function, yet to date no technique has emerged that is reliably capable of identifying the character of impurities or their concentration in organic photovoltaic active layer blends. Here we focus on state-of-the-art, high-performance bulk heterojunction blends and show that synchrotron-based X-ray fluorescence can detect and quantify trace concentrations of metal impurities in these systems. Adopting a strategy of artificially introducing known quantities of additional catalyst into polymer/fullerene blends, we identify both the threshold concentration at which performance degrades and the mechanism for the degradation. With the knowledge of a target impurity concentration and a technique in hand to accurately measure their presence, researchers can implement materials preparation processes to achieve consistent, high performance in organic solar cells.

TI Tradable credits system design and cost savings for a national low carbon fuel standard for road transport SO ENERGY POLICY LA English DT Article DE Credit trading; Transportation; Greenhouse gas emissions ID BIOFUELS; ENERGY AB This research examines the economic implications of different designs for a national low carbon fuel standard (NLCFS) for the road transportation sector. A NLCFS based on the average Carbon Intensity (Cl) of all fuels sold generates an incentive for fuel suppliers to reduce the measured Cl of their fuels. The economic impacts are determined by the availability of low carbon fuels, estimates of which can vary widely. Also important are the compliance path, reference level Cl, and the design of the credit system, particularly the opportunities for trading and banking. To quantitatively examine the implications of a NLCFS, we created the Transportation Regulation and Credit Trading (TRACT) Model. With TRACT, we model a NLCFS credit trading system among profit maximizing fuel suppliers for light- and heavy-duty vehicle fuel use for the United States from 2012 to 2030. We find that credit trading across gasoline and diesel fuel markets can lower the average costs of carbon reductions by an insignificant amount to 98% depending on forecasts of biofuel supplies and carbon intensities. Adding banking of credits on top of trading can further lower the average cost of carbon reductions by 5%-9% and greatly reduce year-to-year fluctuations in credit prices. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Rubin, Jonathan TI Energy security implications of a national low carbon fuel standard SO ENERGY POLICY LA English DT Article DE Energy security; transportation; low carbon fuel ID OIL SANDS INDUSTRY AB This paper discusses the potential energy security implications of a national low carbon fuel standard (NLCFS). A low carbon fuel standard is designed to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by targeting the fuel portion of the fuel-vehicle system. Specifically, a NLCFS would set national targets for the average carbon intensity (Cl) of motor fuels, and establish a market for credits that allows fuel producers and importers to respond in a variety of ways to the signal provided by the credit price. An important method for lowering the Cl of transportation is to substitute lower-carbon alternative fuels such as advanced biofuels, electricity, CNG, and H2. Despite the focus on GHGs, so long as transportation fuels remain dominated by petroleum, transportation fuel policies like a NLCFS also will be evaluated in terms of their energy security impacts. We examine the fuel substitutions that are projected to be induced by a NLCFS and consider the energy security implications of displacing higher carbon fuels, such as imported Canadian Oil Sands oil or certain imported crude oils, with lower-carbon domestic oil, biofuels, or lower carbon oil imported from other sources.

It is currently administered by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) after being jointly administered by DOE and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) since the Program's inception in 1999. This paper presents the results of a process evaluation of the HPwES Program. Interviews were conducted with key federal Program administrators and a sample of sponsors and contractors responsible for implementing the Program in the field. The respondents describe a program whose success is largely dependent on the use of the ENERGY STAR brand and the flexibility given sponsors to tailor their programs to their specific contexts. It is recommended that the HPwES Program: evolve to better meet the needs of specific types of sponsors (e.g., utilities, public benefit funds); implement a national marketing campaign; create closer ties to other DOE programs (e.g., the Weatherization Assistance Program); and conduct research to better establish program energy savings impacts and awareness.

The recent discovery of a new enzyme, first identified in Klebsiella pneumoniae from a patient from New Delhi and denoted as NDM-1, represents an example of extreme promiscuity: It hydrolyzes and inactivates nearly all known beta-lactam-based antibiotics with startling efficiency. NDM-1 can utilize different metal cofactors and seems to exploit an alternative mechanism based on the reaction conditions. Here we report the results of a combined experimental and theoretical study that examines the substrate, metal binding, and catalytic mechanism of the enzyme. We utilize structures obtained through X-ray crystallography, biochemical assays, and numerical simulation to construct a model of the enzyme catalytic pathway. The NDM-1 enzyme interacts with the substrate solely through zinc, or other metals, bound in the active site, explaining the observed lack of specificity against a broad range of beta-lactam antibiotic agents. The zinc ions also serve to activate a water molecule that hydrolyzes the beta-lactam ring through a proton shuttle.-Kim, Y., Cunningham, M. A.; Mire, J., Tesar, C., Sacchettini, J., Joachimiak, A.

TI Nearly finished genomes produced using gel microdroplet culturing reveal substantial intraspecies genomic diversity within the human microbiome SO GENOME RESEARCH LA English DT Article ID MULTIPLE DISPLACEMENT AMPLIFICATION; STREPTOCOCCUS-ORALIS; READ ALIGNMENT; SINGLE CELLS; DNA; POLYMERASE; RNA; ALGORITHM; GENES; CORE AB The majority of microbial genomic diversity remains unexplored. This is largely due to our inability to culture most microorganisms in isolation, which is a prerequisite for traditional genome sequencing. Single-cell sequencing has allowed researchers to circumvent this limitation. DNA is amplified directly from a single cell using the whole-genome amplification technique of multiple displacement amplification (MDA). However, MDA from a single chromosome copy suffers from amplification bias and a large loss of specificity from even very small amounts of DNA contamination, which makes assembling a genome difficult and completely finishing a genome impossible except in extraordinary circumstances. Gel microdrop cultivation allows culturing of a diverse microbial community and provides hundreds to thousands of genetically identical cells as input for an MDA reaction. We demonstrate the utility of this approach by comparing sequencing results of gel microdroplets and single cells following MDA. Bias is reduced in the MDA reaction and genome sequencing, and assembly is greatly improved when using gel microdroplets. We acquired multiple near-complete genomes for two bacterial species from human oral and stool microbiome samples. A significant amount of genome diversity, including single nucleotide polymorphisms and genome recombination, is discovered. Gel microdroplets offer a powerful and high-throughput technology for assembling whole genomes from complex samples and for probing the pan-genome of naturally occurring populations.

Extraction, treatment and disposal costs of saline formation water to meet added water demands from CO2 capture and storage (CCS) are discussed. This underutilized water source may be important in meeting new water demand associated with CCS. For a representative natural gas combined-cycle (NGCC) power plant, simultaneous extraction of brine from the storage formation could provide enough water to meet all CCS-related cooling demands for 177 out of the 185 (96 %) saline formations analyzed in this study. Calculated total cost of water extraction, treatment and disposal is less than 4.00 US Dollars (USD) m(-3) for 93 % of the 185 formations considered. In 90 % of 185 formations, treated water costs are less than 10.00 USD tonne(-1) of CO2 injected. On average, this represents approximately 6 % of the total CO2 capture and injection costs for the NGCC scenario.

The system under study embodies internetworking concepts requiring independent wireless networks to cooperate in order to provide a unified network to users. We propose a multi-attribute scheduling algorithm implemented by a central Global Resource Controller (GRC) that manages the resources of several different autonomous wireless systems. The attributes considered by the multi-attribute optimization function consist of system spectral efficiency, battery lifetime of each user (or overall energy consumption), and instantaneous and long-term fairness for each user in the system. To compute the relative importance of each attribute, we use the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) that takes interview responses from wireless network providers as input and generates weight assignments for each attribute in our optimization problem. Through Matlab/CPLEX based simulations, we show an increase in a multi-attribute system utility measure of up to 57% for our algorithm compared to other widely studied resource allocation algorithms including Max-Sum Rate, Proportional Fair, Max-Min Fair and Min Power.

However, such systems require significant programming and porting effort to gain a performance benefit from the accelerators. Therefore, prior to porting it is prudent to investigate the predicted performance benefit of accelerators for a given workload. To address this problem we present a performance-modeling framework that predicts the application performance rapidly and accurately for hybrid-core systems. We present predictions for two full-scale HPC applications-HYCOM and Milc. Our results for two accelerators (GPU and FPGA) show that gather/scatter and stream operations can speedup by as much as a factor of 15 and overall compute time of Milc and HYCOM improve by 3.4% and 20%, respectively. We also show that in order to benefit from the accelerators, 70% of the latency of data transfer time between the CPU and the accelerators needs to be overcome.

Historically, operating systems have been optimized to time-share a single resource, the CPU. We now have an abundance of cores, but we are still swapping out the application to run other tasks and therefore increasing the application's time to solution. In addition, with parallel applications the probability of one of the tasks entering a synchronization point late due to one of these interrupts increases with increasing system scale, which further increases the application turn-around time. This paper reviews measures that can be taken to reduce application interruption using only compile and run time configurations in a recent unmodified Linux kernel. Although these measures have been available for some time, to the best of the authors' knowledge, they have never been implemented in a high-performance computing context. We then introduce our invasive method, where we remove the involuntary preemption induced by task scheduling. Our experiments show that parallel applications benefit from these modifications even at relatively small scales. At the modest scale of our testbed, we see a 1.91% improvement in a bulk-synchronous-parallel application that should project into higher benefits at extreme scales.

With the widespread adoption of massively multicore processors, there has been a focus towards harnessing the abundant compute resources effectively in a power-efficient manner. Although much work has been done towards optimizing distributed process launch using hierarchical techniques, there has been a void in studying the performance of spawning processes within a single node. Reducing the latency to spawn a new process locally results in faster global job launch. Further, emerging dynamic and resilient execution models are designed on the premise of maintaining process pools for fault isolation and launching several processes in a relatively shorter period of time. Optimizing the latency and throughput for spawning processes would help improve the overall performance of runtime systems, allow adaptive process-replication reliability and motivate the design and implementation of process management interfaces in future manycore operating systems. In this paper, we study the several limiting factors for efficient spawning of processes on massively multicore architectures. We have developed a library to optimize launching multiple instances of the same executable. Our microbenchmarks show a 20-80% decrease in the process spawn time for multiple executables. We further discuss the effects of memory locality and propose NUMA-aware extensions to optimize launching processes with large memory-mapped segments including dynamic shared libraries. Finally, we describe vector operating system interfaces for spawning a batch of processes from a given executable on specific cores. Our results show a speedup of a factor of 40-50 over the traditional method of launching new processes using fork and exec system calls.

On these architectures the sustained performance of streaming numerical kernels, ubiquitous in the solution of partial differential equations, represents a challenge despite the regularity of memory access. Sophisticated optimization techniques are required to fully utilize the CPU. We propose a new method for constructing streaming numerical kernels using a high-level assembly synthesis and optimization framework. We describe an implementation of this method in Python targeting the IBM (R) Blue Gene (R)/P supercomputer's PowerPC (R) 450 core. This paper details the high-level design, construction, simulation, verification, and analysis of these kernels utilizing a subset of the CPU's instruction set. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach by implementing several three-dimensional stencil kernels over a variety of cached memory scenarios and analyzing the mechanically scheduled variants, including a 27-point stencil achieving a 1.7x speedup over the best previously published results.

TI Optimizing Memory Constrained Environments in Monte Carlo Nuclear Reactor Simulations SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING APPLICATIONS LA English DT Article DE Monte Carlo; neutron; reactor analysis limited; memory domain; decomposition AB Monte Carlo neutron transport codes are a growing subject of research in nuclear reactor analysis. For robust reactor analysis, large scale neutron transport simulations require computation of reaction rates for tens of billions of particles involving several hundred isotopes. When employing physical-space domain decomposition, minimizing memory consumption while safely and efficiently exchanging massive amounts of data is a significant challenge. To address this problem, we implement and test several "memory-aware", in-place, sparse, all-to-all MPI communication implementations. The algorithms are developed and tested within the open source MADRE (Memory-Aware Data Redistribution) project, which gives application programmers a simple API and set of tools and algorithms for carrying out memory-transparent in-place communication. We explore memory and communication efficiency tradeoffs for a range of in-place algorithms using a simple Monte Carlo communication kernel intended to mimic the behavior of our full Monte Carlo neutronics code.

Effector N termini are thought to contain the signal, but they lack homology, possess no identifiable motif, and adopt intrinsically disordered structures. Alternative studies suggest that RNA-encoded signals may also be recognized and that they can be located in the 5' untranslated leader sequence. We began our study by establishing the minimum sequence required for reporter translocation. Untranslated leader sequences predicted from 42 different Salmonella effector proteins were fused to the adenylate cyclase reporter (CyaA'), and each of them was tested for protein injection into J774 macrophages. RNA sequences derived from five effectors, gtgA, cigR, gogB, sseL, and steD, were sufficient for CyaA' translocation into host cells. To determine the mechanism of signal recognition, we identified proteins that bound specifically to the gtgA RNA. One of the unique proteins identified was Hfq. Hfq had no effect upon the translocation of full-length CigR and SteD, but injection of intact GtgA, GogB, and SseL was abolished in an hfq mutant, confirming the importance of Hfq. Our results demonstrated that the Salmonella pathogenicity island 2 (SPI-2) T3SS assembled into a functional apparatus independently of Hfq. Since particular effectors required Hfq for translocation, Hfq-RNA complexes may participate in signal recognition.

Uranium contaminated sediment from a former uranium mill field site was packed into two 2-D tanks with internal dimensions of 2.44 x 1.22 x 0.076 m (tank 1) and 2.44 x 0.61 x 0.076 m (tank 2). Tank 1 was packed in a physically homogenous manner, and tank 2 was packed with long lenses of high and low conductivities resulting in different flow fields within the tanks. Chemical gradients within the flow domain were altered by temporal changes in influent water chemistry. The uranium source was desorption from the sediment. Despite the physical differences in the flow fields, there were minimal differences in global uranium leaching behavior between the two tanks. The dominant uranium species in both tanks over time and space was Ca2UO2(CO3)(3)(0). However, the uranium/alkalinity relationships varied as a function of time in tank I and were independent of time in tank 2. After planned stop-flow events, small, short-lived rebounds were observed in tank 1 while no rebound of uranium concentrations was observed in tank 2. Despite appearing to be in local equilibrium with respect to uranium desorption, a previously derived surface complexation model was insufficient to describe uranium partitioning within the flow domain. This is the first in a pair of papers; the companion paper presents an intermediate scale 3-D tank experiment and inter-tank comparisons. For these systems, physical heterogeneity at or above the decimeter scale does not affect global scale uranium desorption and transport. Instead, uranium fluxes are controlled by chemistry dependent desorption patterns induced by changing the influent ionic composition. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Heterogeneities of intermediate scale (similar to 10(-1) m) are impossible to incorporate in a bench scale experiment. To transcend these scale discrepancies, this second in a pair of papers presents results from an intermediate scale, 3-D tank experiment completed using five different particle sizes of uranium contaminated sediment from a former uranium mill field site. The external dimensions of the tank were 2.44 mx0.61 mx0.61 m (LxHxW). The five particle sizes were packed in a heterogeneous manner using roughly 11 cm cubes. Small groundwater wells were installed for spatial characterization of chemical gradients and flow parameters. An approximately six month long bromide tracer test was used for flow field characterization. Within the flow domain, local uranium breakthrough curves exhibited a wide range of behaviors. However, the global effluent breakthrough curve was smooth, and not unlike breakthrough curves observed in column scale experiments. This paper concludes with an inter-tank comparison of all three experimental systems presented in this pair of papers. Although there is a wide range of chemical and physical variability between the three tanks, major chemical constituent behaviors are often quite similar or even identical. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.

TI Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis Replicon Particles Can Induce Rapid Protection against Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus SO JOURNAL OF VIROLOGY LA English DT Article ID INNATE IMMUNE-RESPONSE; TOLL-LIKE RECEPTORS; ANTIVIRAL ACTIVITY; INTERFERON-ALPHA; SUBUNIT VACCINE; III INTERFERON; IN-VIVO; CHALLENGE; MICE; FMDV AB We have previously shown that delivery of the porcine type I interferon gene (poIFN-alpha/beta) with a replication-defective human adenovirus vector (adenovirus 5 [Ad5]) can sterilely protect swine challenged with foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) 1 day later. However, the need of relatively high doses of Ad5 limits the applicability of such a control strategy in the livestock industry. Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEE) empty replicon particles (VRPs) can induce rapid protection of mice against either homologous or, in some cases, heterologous virus challenge. As an alternative approach to induce rapid protection against FMDV, we have examined the ability of VRPs containing either the gene for green fluorescent protein (VRP-GFP) or poIFN-alpha (VRP-poIFN-alpha) to block FMDV replication in vitro and in vivo. Pretreatment of swine or bovine cell lines with either VRP significantly inhibited subsequent infection with FMDV as early as 6 h after treatment and for at least 120 h posttreatment. Furthermore, mice pretreated with either 10(7) or 10(8) infectious units of VRP-GFP and challenged with a lethal dose of FMDV 24 h later were protected from death. Protection was induced as early as 6 h after treatment and lasted for at least 48 h and correlated with induction of an antiviral response and production of IFN-alpha. By 6 h after treatment several genes were upregulated, and the number of genes and the level of induction increased at 24 h. Finally, we demonstrated that the chemokine IP-10, which is induced by IFN-alpha and VRP-GFP, is directly involved in protection against FMDV. C1 [Segundo, Fayna Diaz-San; Dias, Camila C.

Saturation of xenon bound in the large number of cryptophane cages is transferred to the pool of aqueous-solvated xenon via chemical exchange, resulting in efficient generation of hyperCEST contrast. No significant loss of contrast per cryptophane cage was observed for the multivalent phage when compared with unscaffolded cryptophane. Detection of this phage-based hyperCEST agent is reported at concentrations as low as 230 fM, representing the current lower limit for NMR/MRI-based contrast agents. Magn Reson Med, 2013.

We tested whether local adaptation in mycorrhizal symbioses would shape the community structure of these root symbionts in a way that maximizes their symbiotic functioning. We grew a native prairie grass (Andropogon gerardii) with all possible combinations of soils and AM fungal inocula from three different prairies that varied in soil characteristics and disturbance history (two native prairie remnants and one recently restored). We identified the AM fungi colonizing A.gerardii roots using PCR amplification and cloning of the small subunit rRNA gene. We observed 13 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) belonging to six genera in three families. Taxonomic richness was higher in the restored than the native prairies with one member of the Gigaspora dominating the roots of plants grown with inocula from native prairies. Inoculum source and the soil environment influenced the composition of AM fungi that colonized plant roots. Correspondingly, host plants and AM fungi responded significantly to the soilinoculum combinations such that home fungi often had the highest fitness and provided the greatest benefit to A.gerardii. Similar patterns were observed within the soilinoculum combinations originating from two native prairies, where five sequence types of a single Gigaspora OTU were virtually the only root colonizers. Our results indicate that indigenous assemblages of AM fungi were adapted to the local soil environment and that this process occurred both at a community scale and at the scale of fungal sequence types within a dominant OTU.

TI The hydrodeoxygenation of bioderived furans into alkanes SO NATURE CHEMISTRY LA English DT Article ID OIL; HYDROGENOLYSIS; CATALYST; BIOMASS AB The conversion of biomass into fuels and chemical feedstocks is one part of a drive to reduce the world's dependence on crude oil. For transportation fuels in particular, wholesale replacement of a fuel is logistically problematic, not least because of the infrastructure that is already in place. Here, we describe the catalytic defunctionalization of a series of biomass-derived molecules to provide linear alkanes suitable for use as transportation fuels. These biomass-derived molecules contain a variety of functional groups, including olefins, furan rings and carbonyl groups. We describe the removal of these in either a stepwise process or a one-pot process using common reagents and catalysts under mild reaction conditions to provide n-alkanes in good yields and with high selectivities. Our general synthetic approach is applicable to a range of precursors with different carbon content (chain length). This allows the selective generation of linear alkanes with carbon chain lengths between eight and sixteen carbons.

Peach, a diploid Prunus species, is one of the best genetically characterized deciduous trees. Here we describe the high-quality genome sequence of peach obtained from a completely homozygous genotype. We obtained a complete chromosome-scale assembly using Sanger whole-genome shotgun methods. We predicted 27,852 protein-coding genes, as well as noncoding RNAs. We investigated the path of peach domestication through whole-genome resequencing of 14 Prunus accessions. The analyses suggest major genetic bottlenecks that have substantially shaped peach genome diversity. Furthermore, comparative analyses showed that peach has not undergone recent whole-genome duplication, and even though the ancestral triplicated blocks in peach are fragmentary compared to those in grape, all seven paleosets of paralogs from the putative paleoancestor are detectable.

So far, static charge-density waves(8) (CDWs) have been detected by diffraction probes only at particular doping levels(9-11) or in an applied external field(12). However, dynamic CDWs may also be present more broadly and their detection, characterization and relationship with HTS remain open problems. Here we present a method based on ultrafast spectroscopy to detect the presence and measure the lifetimes of CDW fluctuations in cuprates. In an underdoped La1.9Sr0.1CuO4 film (T-c = 26 K), we observe collective excitations of CDW that persist up to 100 K. This dynamic CDW fluctuates with a characteristic lifetime of 2 ps at T = 5 K that decreases to 0.5 ps at T = 100 K. In contrast, in an optimally doped La1.84Sr0.16CuO4 film (T-c = 38.5 K), we detect no signatures of fluctuating CDWs at any temperature, favouring the competition scenario. This work forges a path for studying fluctuating order parameters in various superconductors and other materials.

Li, Qi TI Enhanced tunnelling electroresistance effect due to a ferroelectrically induced phase transition at a magnetic complex oxide interface SO NATURE MATERIALS LA English DT Article ID SPIN POLARIZATION; JUNCTIONS; STATES; HETEROSTRUCTURES; BARRIERS; PHYSICS AB The range of recently discovered phenomena in complex oxide heterostructures, made possible owing to advances in fabrication techniques, promise new functionalities and device concepts(1-3). One issue that has received attention is the bistable electrical modulation of conductivity in ferroelectric tunnel junctions(4-6) (FTJs) in response to a ferroelectric polarization of the tunnelling barrier, a phenomenon known as the tunnelling electroresistance (TER) effect(7-10). Ferroelectric tunnel junctions with ferromagnetic electrodes allow ferroelectric control of the tunnelling spin polarization through the magnetoelectric coupling at the ferromagnet/ferroelectric interface(11-17). Here we demonstrate a significant enhancement of TER due to a ferroelectrically induced phase transition at a magnetic complex oxide interface. Ferroelectric tunnel junctions consisting of BaTiO3 tunnelling barriers and La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 electrodes exhibit a TER enhanced by up to similar to 10,000% by a nanometre-thick La0.5Ca0.5MnO3 interlayer inserted at one of the interfaces. The observed phenomenon originates from the metal-to-insulator phase transition in La0.5Ca0.5MnO3, driven by the modulation of carrier density through ferroelectric polarization switching. Electrical, ferroelectric and magnetoresistive measurements combined with first-principles calculations provide evidence for a magnetoelectric origin of the enhanced TER, and indicate the presence of defect-mediated conduction in the FTJs. The effect is robust and may serve as a viable route for electronic and spintronic applications. C1 [Yin, Y. W.; Li, Qi] Penn State Univ, Dept Phys, University Pk, PA 16802 USA. [Yin, Y. W.; Li, X.

TI Self-assembled quantum dots in a nanowire system for quantum photonics SO NATURE MATERIALS LA English DT Article ID GAAS NANOWIRES; HETEROSTRUCTURES; NANOSTRUCTURES; EPITAXY; FACETS; ARRAYS AB Quantum dots embedded within nanowires represent one of the most promising technologies for applications in quantum photonics. Whereas the top-down fabrication of such structures remains a technological challenge, their bottom-up fabrication through self-assembly is a potentially more powerful strategy. However, present approaches often yield quantum dots with large optical linewidths, making reproducibility of their physical properties difficult. We present a versatile quantum-dot-innanowire system that reproducibly self-assembles in core-shell GaAs/AlGaAs nanowires. The quantum dots form at the apex of a GaAs/AlGaAs interface, are highly stable, and can be positioned with nanometre precision relative to the nanowire centre. Unusually, their emission is blue-shifted relative to the lowest energy continuum states of the GaAs core. Large-scale electronic structure calculations show that the origin of the optical transitions lies in quantum confinement due to Al-rich barriers. By emitting in the red and self-assembling on silicon substrates, these quantum dots could therefore become building blocks for solid-state lighting devices and third-generation solar cells.

Remarkably, the cluster-formation mechanism involves a partial self-healing response of the perfect crystal to the radiation-induced defects, by spontaneous creation of new point defects with negative formation energy. These "structural" defects neutralize the cluster by screening its long-range Coulomb potential, thereby localizing the damage. The observation of a similar lattice response in MgO and UO2, in spite of very different types of clusters involved, suggests that this partial self-healing screening behavior may be intrinsic to all ionic crystals.

Two depleted urania (d-UO2.0 and d-UO2.14) samples, sintered up to a theoretical density of 90%, were serial sectioned using a focused ion beam and characterized with electron back-scatter diffraction (EBSD). The EBSD data were used to make three-dimensional reconstructions of the microstructures to evaluate their characteristics at an intermediate stage of sintering. The oxygen content was found to affect grain shape and grain boundary (GB) mobility, as curved and elongated grains were observed in UO2.0, as well as stronger pore-GB interactions, which is an indication that microstructure was less evolved in UO2.0. Both samples presented a similar fraction (approximate to 20%) of special, coincident site lattice boundaries, with larger amounts of Sigma 3(n) GBs, and a rather large fraction of Sigma 11 GBs for UO2.14. Crystallographic GB planes were also determined to study the distributions of all GB parameters. The UO2.0 sample had a large fraction of GB planes close to the Sigma 3 twinning planes, which suggests that lower-energy interfaces are used to minimize energy in this sample, potentially due to lower overall GB mobility as compared to UO2.14.

To study this phenomenon for low fuel burnups, when solid-state diffusion is likely to be the controlling mechanism that sets the stage for subsequent phenomena, e.g., fission gas bubble formation and linkage, we created a three-dimensional (3-D) finite element model based on the real microstructure of a depleted UO2 sample. The model couples grain bulk, grain boundary (GB), and triple junction (TJ) diffusion by using 3-D elements for grain bulks, two-dimensional elements for GBs, and one-dimensional elements for TJs. Grain boundary percolation theory is applied in one case study, and the result shows that the presence of high-diffusivity TJs reduces the effect of GB percolation. The model is also used with mass generation from grain bulks, and it is found that localized regions with a high concentration of FPs can form in the presence of a dominant GB percolation path. The work introduces an approach to model diffusion through GBs and TJs at a fair computational cost that can be applied to study the effects of microstructure on FP transport.

Our objectives were to demonstrate the ability to non-invasively monitor individual root functionality and water fluxes within Zea mays L. (maize) and Panicum virgatum L. (switchgrass) seedlings using neutron imaging. Seedlings were propagated for 1-3 weeks in aluminum chambers containing sand. Pulses of water or deuterium oxide were then tracked through the root systems by collecting consecutive radiographs during exposure to a cold-neutron source. Water flux was manipulated by cycling on a growth lamp to alter foliar demand for water. Neutron radiography readily illuminated root structure, root growth, and relative plant and soil water content. After irrigation there was rapid root water uptake from the newly wetted soil, followed by hydraulic redistribution of water through the root system to roots terminating in dry soil. Water flux within individual roots responded differentially to foliar illumination based on supply and demand of water within the root system. Sub-millimeter scale image resolution revealed timing and magnitudes of root water uptake, redistribution within the roots, and root-shoot hydraulic linkages-relationships not well characterized by other techniques.

Our analysis details the material and energy inventories in the life cycle of high-concentration PV systems, and, based on measured field-performances, evaluates their energy payback times, life cycle greenhouse gas emissions, and usage of land and water. Although operating high-concentration PV systems require considerable maintenance, their life cycle environmental burden is much lower than that of the flat-plate c-Si systems operating in the same high-insolation regions. The estimated energy payback times of the Amonix 7700 PV system in operation at Phoenix, AZ, is only 0.9year, and its estimated greenhouse gas emissions are 27g CO2-eq./kWh over 30years, or approximately 16g CO2-eq./kWh over 50years.

Mercury readily adsorbs on the nanoparticles causing a measurable shift in the longitudinal localized surface plasmon resonance. Depositing the nanorods on the surface of a bare, bent fiber optic cable provides a means to excite the resonance and determine the absorbance through the evanescent wave at the surface. The response of the system is linear with concentration, and we have been able to directly measure concentrations down to 1.0 mu g/m(3). (c) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Two cases are investigated: (1) detonation of a TNT charge and combustion of its detonation products with air, and (2) shock dispersion of aluminum powder and its combustion with air. The evolution of the blast wave and ensuing combustion cloud dynamics are studied via numerical simulations with our adaptive mesh refinement combustion code. The code solves the multi-phase conservation laws for a dilute heterogeneous continuum as formulated by Nigmatulin. Single-phase combustion (e.g., TNT with air) is modeled in the fast-chemistry limit. Two-phase combustion (e.g., Al powder with air) uses an induction time model based on Arrhenius fits to Boiko's shock tube data, along with an ignition temperature criterion based on fits to Gurevich's data, and an ignition probability model that accounts for multi-particle effects on cloud ignition. Equations of state are based on polynomial fits to thermodynamic calculations with the Cheetah code, assuming frozen reactants and equilibrium products. Adaptive mesh refinement is used to resolve thin reaction zones and capture the energy-bearing scales of turbulence on the computational mesh (ILES approach). Taking advantage of the symmetry of the problem, azimuthal averaging was used to extract the mean and rms fluctuations from the numerical solution, including: thermodynamic profiles, kinematic profiles, and reaction-zone profiles across the combustion cloud. Fuel consumption was limited to 60-70 %, due to the limited amount of air a spherical combustion cloud can entrain before the turbulent velocity field decays away. Turbulent kinetic energy spectra of the solution were found to have both rotational and dilatational components, due to compressibility effects. The dilatational component was typically about 1 % of the rotational component; both seemed to preserve their spectra as they decayed. Kinetic energy of the blast wave decayed due to the pressure field. Turbulent kinetic energy of the combustion cloud decayed due to enstrophy and dilatation (Delta(2)) over bar. C1 [Kuhl, A.

A dielectric constant of approximate to 1350 and dielectric loss of approximate to 0.04 were measured at room temperature. Hysteresis loop tests revealed that the remanent polarization increases while the coercive field decreases with PLZT film thickness. The residual stress in the PLZT films, as determined by the x-ray diffraction sin(2)psi method, decreased from approximate to 380 to approximate to 200 MPa when the film ;thickness increased from 0.35 to 3.1 mu m. The dependence of the residual stress (sigma) on the PLZT film thickness (t) can be described by an empirical equation, sigma = A(0) exp(-t(2)/lambda(2)), with A(0) approximate to 390 MPa and lambda approximate to 3.8 mu m.

The updated algorithm, High-Resolution Climate Downscaler (HRCD), performs very good downscaling of daily, global, historical reanalysis data from 1A degrees input resolution to 2.5 arcmin output resolution for day length, downward longwave radiation, pressure, maximum and minimum temperature, and vapor pressure deficit. It gives good results for monthly and yearly cumulative precipitation and fair results for wind speed distributions and modeled downward shortwave radiation. Over complex terrain, 2.5 arcmin resolution is likely too low and aggregating it up to 15 arcmin preserves accuracy. HRCD performs comparably to existing daily and monthly US datasets but with a global extent for nine daily climate variables spanning 1948-2006. Furthermore, HRCD can readily be applied to other gridded climate datasets. C1 [Di Vittorio, Alan V.] Univ Calif Berkeley, Energy Biosci Inst, Berkeley, CA 94720 USA.

Monitoring SHS exposure (SHSe) in indoor environments provides useful information on the extent and consequences of SHSe, implementing and evaluating tobacco control programmes and behavioural interventions, and estimating overall burden of disease caused by SHSe. The most widely used markers have been vapour-phase nicotine and respirable particulate matter (PM). Numerous other environmental analytes of SHS have been measured in the air including carbon monoxide, 3-ethenylpyridine, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, tobacco-specific nitrosamines, nitrogen oxides, aldehydes and volatile organic compounds, as well as nicotine in dust and on surfaces. The measurement of nicotine in the air has the advantage of reflecting the presence of tobacco smoke. While PM measurements are not as specific, they can be taken continuously, allowing for assessment of exposure and its variation over time. In general, when nicotine and PM are measured in the same setting using a common sampling period, an increase in nicotine concentration of 1 mu g/m(3) corresponds to an average increase of 10 mu g/m(3) of PM. This topic assessment presents a comprehensive summary of SHSe monitoring approaches using environmental markers and discusses the strengths and weaknesses of these methods and approaches.

Their complexity arises not only from the number of constituent elements, but also from their tolerance of non-stoichiometry and the structural complexity of these perovskite-based materials, e.g. the distortions and rotations of the oxygen octahedra surrounding the B-site cation. For these reasons, misfit accommodation in these materials is far more complex than in simpler materials, and can involve several different mechanisms simultaneously. In some cases, interfaces can be free from any misfit dislocations, lattice mismatch being accommodated via incorporation of oxygen vacancies, which take an ordered periodic arrangement. Interfaces may also present a perturbation to the octahedral rotations that can dramatically affect properties, not just close to the interface but through the entire film. In oxygen ion conducting materials, the oxygen sublattice may even melt in some situations. (c) 2012 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. C1 [Pennycook, S.

A combination of polychromatic and monochromatic X-ray microdiffraction was used to investigate domain formation, interface orientations and strain distributions inside individual vanadium dioxide (VO2) microcrystals. Using in situ measurements near the VO2 metal-insulator phase transition, it was found that the observed phase evolution is critically dependent on external strain. Substrate-induced strains or inhomogeneous sample heating can directly alter phase stability and affect the local domain orientations. In different clamped or freely suspended single-crystal samples, all the predicted twin laws for the M2 phase in VO2 were observed, except one. When the rutile and M2 phases coexist, it was found that different interphase boundary orientations can be stabilized by sample size and by interfacial elastic strain. The large variations in phase sequences and domain orientations observed in relatively simple, small single crystals provide insight into the mechanisms responsible for the broad structural and electronic transitions observed in epitaxial VO2 films.

In this work, the growth mechanisms of VAN thin films have been investigated by varying the composite material system, the ratio of the two constituent phases, and the thin film growth conditions including deposition temperature and oxygen pressure as well as growth rate. It has been shown that thermodynamic parameters, elastic and interfacial energies and the multiple phase ratio play dominant roles in the resulting microstructure. In addition, vertical interfacial strain has been observed in BiFeO3 (BFO)- and La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 (LSMO)-based VAN thin film systems; the vertical strain could be tuned by the growth parameters and selection of a suitable secondary phase. The tunability of physical properties such as dielectric loss in BFO:Sm2O3 VAN and low-field magnetoresistance in LSMO-based VAN systems has been demonstrated. The enhancement and tunability of those physical properties have been attributed to the unique VAN architecture and vertical strain control. These results suggest that VAN architecture with novel microstructure and unique vertical strain tuning could provide a general route for tailoring and manipulating the functionalities of oxide thin films.

In this study, the texture change in a 0.1% C-1% Mn hot-rolled steel sheet during the alpha -> gamma -> alpha transformation cycle was studied via neutron diffraction and the transformation texture prediction based on a variant selection rule that we call the double Kurdjumov-Sachs (K-S) relation. The texture change observed by neutron diffraction, which clearly showed the texture memory, could be quantitatively reproduced by the proposed variant selection rule adopted into the calculation method based on the spherical harmonics expansion of orientation distribution functions. Therefore, it is most likely that the texture memory in steel is caused by the preferential selection of those K-S variants that reduce the interfacial energy between a precipitate and two adjoining parent phase grains at the same time, which we call the double K-S relation.

TI The beta -> alpha phase transformation in plutonium SO ACTA MATERIALIA LA English DT Article DE Plutonium; Phase transformation; Crystallography; Topological modeling ID CRYSTAL STRUCTURE; MARTENSITIC TRANSFORMATIONS; UNALLOYED PLUTONIUM; GAMMA-PLUTONIUM; GA ALLOY; METAL; CRYSTALLOGRAPHY; KINETICS; DISCONNECTIONS; TEMPERATURES AB The beta -> alpha transformation in plutonium is discussed in terms of the crystallography of the two phases and the resulting topological modeling of the beta/alpha interface. There has been little microscopy work on the transformation, but it is probably martensitic. beta-Pu is monoclinic I2/m, while alpha-Pu is monoclinic P2(1)/m. alpha-Pu has been described as a hexagonal close-packed pseudostructure with AB stacking of the (0 2 0)(alpha) planes with pseudo-close-packing along [1 0 0](alpha) and two other directions. beta-Pu is less obvious, but X-ray diffraction suggests that the (1 0 3)(beta) planes, which are selected as the terrace plane, have the highest structure factor and are therefore among the closest-packed planes. Other pseudo-close-packed planes, such as {2 2 (2) over bar}(beta) and {3 2 (1) over bar}(beta), could also act as terrace planes for the transformation. The (1 0 3)(beta) planes have a pseudo-hexagonal grid of Pu atoms with AB stacking and pseudo-close-packing along [3 0 (1) over bar](beta) and two other directions. A selection of terrace planes as (0 2 0)(alpha)//(1 0 3)(beta) with disconnections along [1 0 0](alpha)//[3 0 (1) over bar](beta) provides the basis for topological modeling. The model predicts a habit plane that is similar to 6 degrees from the terrace plane. The extra Pu atoms in the beta structure (17 for every 16 in alpha) are accommodated by having 16 (1 0 3)(beta) planes transform into 17 (0 2 0)(alpha) planes at steps in the interface. Short-range interstitial diffusion of Pu atoms from beta to alpha is required for the transformation to proceed. Possible lattice invariant deformation systems are discussed.

It is demonstrated that the domain structure of the bilayer film is very different from those of the corresponding single layer films grown on the same silicon substrate with an incoherent interface. Moreover, the predicted rhombohedral domains in the Pb(Zr0.7Ti0.3)O-3 layer of the bilayer film have smaller sizes than those in the single layer case. These results are compared with experimental observations and previous thermodynamic analyses. The polarization distributions of the ferroelectric-paraelectric bilayer are analyzed as a function of the thickness of the bilayer film, where there is a "ferroelectric proximity effect" due to dipole-dipole interactions. The phase diagrams for both the bilayer and single layer films as a function of temperature and effective in-plane substrate strain are constructed. (c) 2013 Acta Materialia Inc.

Representative deformed regions extracted from underneath indents by means of focused ion beam machining were examined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to identify the deformation mechanisms. Anisotropic elastic Hertzian contact theory was used to calculate indentation Schmid factors and the relevant resolved shear stresses at pop-in from the load-displacement curves. The pop-in statistics in conjunction with the TEM analysis showed that the most likely deformation mechanism responsible for pop-in is slip via (a) dislocations even in the case of indentation along the c-axis.

Different from some MGs where the icosahedral motifs are the key coordination polyhedra, here the featured short-range order (SRO) is dominated by Cu-centered bicapped square antiprisms and tricapped trigonal prisms. Bond shortening is observed for Mg-Cu and Y-Cu bonds, due to appreciable charge transfer that imparts an ionic character to the bonding. This enhances their chemical affinity, accentuating Cu-centered motifs analogous to solute-centered prisms in metal-metalloid MGs in this all-metal system. The prism-type SRO is prevalent even at high temperatures in the (supercooled) liquids, as revealed from the inherent structures. A weak temperature dependence is observed for the degree of characteristic SRO with undercooling, as well as for the development of connections of the motifs in the medium range. Such a structural evolution is contrasted with the rapidly ascending icosahedral order in Cu64Zr36 supercooled liquids, and explains the much more shallow specific heat curve as well as the low fragility of the Mg65Cu25Y10 supercooled liquid.

SO CLIMATIC CHANGE LA English DT Article ID CARBON-DIOXIDE CAPTURE; GREENHOUSE-GAS EMISSIONS; CAPACITY ESTIMATION; CLIMATE POLICY; ENERGY; SCENARIOS AB Combining bioenergy and carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and storage (CCS) technologies (BECCS) has the potential to remove CO2 from the atmosphere while producing useful energy. BECCS has played a central role in scenarios that reduce climate forcing to low levels such as 2.6 Wm(-2). In this paper we consider whether BECCS is essential to limiting radiative forcing (RF) to 2.6 Wm(-2) by 2100 using the Global Change Assessment Model, a closely coupled model of biogeophysical and human Earth systems. We show that BECCS can potentially reduce the cost of limiting RF to 2.6 Wm(-2) by 2100 but that a variety of technology combinations that do not include BECCS can also achieve this goal, under appropriate emissions mitigation policies. We note that with appropriate supporting land-use policies terrestrial sequestration could deliver carbon storage ranging from 200 to 700 PgCO(2)-equiavalent over the 21st century. We explore substantial delays in participation by some geopolitical regions. We find that the value of BECCS is substantially higher under delay and that delay results in higher transient RF and climate change. However, when major regions postponed mitigation indefinitely, it was impossible to return RF to 2.6 Wm(-2) by 2100. Neither finite land resources nor finite potential geologic storage capacity represented a meaningful technical limit on the ability of BECCS to contribute to emissions mitigation in the numerical experiments reported in this paper.

Very high sequestration potentials for these strategies have been reported, but there has been no systematic analysis of the potential ecological limits to and environmental impacts of implementation at the scale relevant to climate change mitigation. In this analysis, we identified site-specific aspects of land, water, nutrients, and habitat that will affect local project-scale carbon sequestration and ecological impacts. Using this framework, we estimated global-scale land and resource requirements for BCDR, implemented at a rate of 1 Pg C y(-1). We estimate that removing 1 Pg C y(-1) via tropical afforestation would require at least 7 x 10(6) ha y(-1) of land, 0.09 Tg y(-1) of nitrogen, and 0.2 Tg y(-1) of phosphorous, and would increase evapotranspiration from those lands by almost 50 %. Switchgrass BECS would require at least 2 x 10(8) ha of land (20 times U.S. area currently under bioethanol production) and 20 Tg y(-1) of nitrogen (20 % of global fertilizer nitrogen production), consuming 4 x 10(12) m(3) y(-1) of water. While BCDR promises some direct (climate) and ancillary (restoration, habitat protection) benefits, Pg C-scale implementation may be constrained by ecological factors, and may compromise the ultimate goals of climate change mitigation.

Implicit implementations of CPFEM are usually solved using Newton's method. However, the inherent non-linearity in the flow rule model that characterizes the crystal slip system deformation on occasions would require considerable effort to form the exact analytical Jacobian needed by Newton's method. In this paper we present an alternative using JFNK. As it does not require an exact Jacobian, JFNK can potentially decrease development time. JFNK approximates the effect of the Jacobian through finite differences of the residual vector, allowing modified formulations to be studied with relative ease. We show that the JFNK solution is identical to that obtained using Newton's method and produces quadratic convergence. We also find that preconditioning the JFNK solution with the elastic tensor provides the best computational efficiency. C1 [Chockalingam, K.; Tonks, M. R.; Hales, J. D.; Gaston, D. R.; Millett, P.

To date, marine anammox bacteria found in marine water columns and sediments worldwide belong almost exclusively to the Candidatus Scalindua' species, but the molecular basis of their metabolism and competitive fitness is presently unknown. We applied community sequencing of a marine anammox enrichment culture dominated by Candidatus Scalindua profunda' to construct a genome assembly, which was subsequently used to analyse the most abundant gene transcripts and proteins. In the S.profunda assembly, 4756 genes were annotated, and only about half of them showed the highest identity to the only other anammox bacterium of which a metagenome assembly had been constructed so far, the freshwater Candidatus Kuenenia stuttgartiensis'. In total, 2016 genes of S.profunda could not be matched to the K.stuttgartiensis metagenome assembly at all, and a similar number of genes in K.stuttgartiensis could not be found in S.profunda. Most of these genes did not have a known function but 98 expressed genes could be attributed to oligopeptide transport, amino acid metabolism, use of organic acids and electron transport. On the basis of the S.profunda metagenome, and environmental metagenome data, we observed pronounced differences in the gene organization and expression of important anammox enzymes, such as hydrazine synthase (HzsAB), nitrite reductase (NirS) and inorganic nitrogen transport proteins. Adaptations of Scalindua to the substrate limitation of the ocean may include highly expressed ammonium, nitrite and oligopeptide transport systems and pathways for the transport, oxidation, and assimilation of small organic compounds that may allow a more versatile lifestyle contributing to the competitive fitness of Scalindua in the marine realm.

TI Analysis of a Ricin Biomarker, Ricinine, in 989 Individual Human Urine Samples SO JOURNAL OF ANALYTICAL TOXICOLOGY LA English DT Article ID COMMUNIS; QUANTIFICATION; SPECTROMETRY; TOXICOSIS; MARKER; FOOD AB Ricinine (3-cyano-4-methoxy-N-methyl-2-pyridone) is a urinary biomarker that can be measured to confirm human exposure to castor bean products such as ricin. Because many consumer products contain castor oil, another castor bean product, ricinine may be detectable in the general population. The following study characterized urinary ricinine concentrations from 989 individuals who were presumed to be unexposed to ricin. An automated diagnostic method was utilized to simplify the analysis of this large sample set. Sample preparation included a 96-well polystyrene divinylbenzene high throughput extraction and preconcentration step. Purified samples were analyzed by an efficient dual column, reversed-phase liquid chromatography separation and C-13-isotope dilution tandem mass spectrometry. In this convenience sample set, only 1.2 of the urine specimens had detectable amounts of ricinine, randomly distributed between 0.186 and 4.15 ng/mL.

We describe and compare different ambient PM2.5 exposure estimation approaches that incorporate human activity patterns and time-resolved location-specific particle penetration and persistence indoors. Four approaches were used to estimate exposures to ambient PM2.5 for application to the New Jersey Triggering of Myocardial Infarction Study. These include: Tier 1, central-site PM2.5 mass; Tier 2A, the Stochastic Human Exposure and Dose Simulation (SHEDS) model using literature-based air exchange rates (AERs); Tier 2B, the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) Aerosol Penetration and Persistence (APP) and Infiltration models; and Tier 3, the SHEDS model where AERs were estimated using the LBNL Infiltration model. Mean exposure estimates from Tier 2A, 2B, and 3 exposure modeling approaches were lower than Tier 1 central-site PM2.5 mass. Tier 2A estimates differed by season but not across the seven monitoring areas. Tier 2B and 3 geographical patterns appeared to be driven by AERs, while seasonal patterns appeared to be due to variations in PM composition and time activity patterns. These model results demonstrate heterogeneity in exposures that are not captured by the central-site monitor.

Ptch1 is best known as a tumor suppressor, as germline or somatic mutations in Ptch1 lead to the formation of skin basal cell carcinomas. Here we show that Ptch1 also acts as a lineage-dependent oncogene, as overexpression of Ptch1 in adult skin in K14Ptch(FVB) transgenic mice synergizes with chemically induced Hras mutations to promote squamous carcinoma development. These effects were not because of aberrant activation of SHH signaling by the K14Ptch(FVB) transgene, as developmental defects in the highest expressing transgenic lines were consistent with the inhibition of this pathway. Carcinomas from K14Ptch(FVB) transgenic mice had only a small number of nonproliferative Ptch1 transgene-positive cells, suggesting that the Ptch1 transgene is not required for tumor maintenance, but may have a critical role in cell-fate determination at the initiation stage.

TI International benchmark on the natural convection test in Phenix reactor SO NUCLEAR ENGINEERING AND DESIGN LA English DT Article ID CODE AB The French Phenix sodium cooled fast reactor (SFR) started operation in 1973 and was stopped in 2009. Before the reactor was definitively shutdown, several final tests were planned and performed, including a natural convection test in the primary circuit. During this natural convection test, the heat rejection provided by the steam generators was disabled, followed several minutes later by reactor scram and coast-down of the primary pumps. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) launched a Coordinated Research Project (CRP) named "control rod withdrawal and sodium natural circulation tests performed during the Phenix end-of-life experiments". The overall purpose of the CRP was to improve the Member States' analytical capabilities in the field of SFR safety. An international benchmark on the natural convection test was organized with "blind" calculations in a first step, then "post-test" calculations and sensitivity studies compared with reactor measurements. Eight organizations from seven Member States took part in the benchmark: ANL (USA), CEA (France), IGCAR (India), IPPE (Russian Federation), IRSN (France), KAERI (Korea), PSI (Switzerland) and University of Fukui (Japan). Each organization performed computations and contributed to the analysis and global recommendations. This paper summarizes the findings of the CRP benchmark exercise associated with the Phenix natural convection test, including blind calculations, post-test calculations and comparisons with measured data. General comments and recommendations are pointed out to improve future simulations of natural convection in SFRs. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

A neutrino factory employs muons which are produced, collected, accelerated and then stored so that their eventual decay produces an intense neutrino beam. A key challenge is that the initial muon beam occupies a region in phase space that vastly exceeds the acceptance of the downstream accelerators. Here we study a novel method to manipulate the longitudinal and transverse phase space with the purpose of collecting and cooling a muon beam. In this method, a set of properly tuned if cavities captures the muon beams into strings of bunches and aligns them to nearly equal central energies, and a following set of rf cavities with absorbers cools them by a factor of three in transverse emittance. The sensitivity in performance of the channel against key parameters such as the number of cavities, accelerating gradient and magnetic field is analyzed. Finally, the lattice tolerance to positioning errors of various lattice components is systematically examined. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. C1 Brookhaven Natl Lab, Upton, NY 11973 USA.

TI The design of an ultra-low background thermosyphon for the Majorana Demonstrator SO NUCLEAR INSTRUMENTS & METHODS IN PHYSICS RESEARCH SECTION A-ACCELERATORS SPECTROMETERS DETECTORS AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT LA English DT Article DE Detector arrays; Ultra-low background cryogenic systems; Thermosyphon; High-purity germanium (HPGe); Neutrinoless double-beta decay AB The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR (MJD) is an ultra-low background neutrinoless double-beta decay (Ov beta beta) experiment that will deploy up to 40 kg of high purity germanium detectors (HPGe). The goal of this experiment is to demonstrate the feasibility of building a detector array with less than 1 event/ton year in a 4 keV region of interest around the Ov beta beta signal. HPGe diodes, when used as ionizing radiation detectors, need to be maintained at a temperature close to that of liquid nitrogen (77 K). This work describes the results of research and development toward a cryogenic system capable of meeting the ultra-low background requirements while providing the required cryogenic cooling capacity of 15-30 W. This paper shows the experimental results obtained using a two-phase horizontal thermosyphon using nitrogen as the working fluid. The cold tests show that the proposed thermosyphon has sufficient cooling power to handle the heat load of an MJD module. Results for the temperature gradient across the thermosyphon, cooling capacity, and design considerations demonstrate that the thermosyphon can effectively remove the calculated heat load of each module of the experiment.

TI Effect of SiO2 coating in bolometric Ge light detectors for rare event searches SO NUCLEAR INSTRUMENTS & METHODS IN PHYSICS RESEARCH SECTION A-ACCELERATORS SPECTROMETERS DETECTORS AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT LA English DT Article DE Detectors of radiation; Scintillating bolometers; Double beta decay ID DOUBLE-BETA-DECAY; DARK-MATTER SEARCH; SCINTILLATING BOLOMETER; REFRACTIVE-INDEX; WIMP SEARCH; NEUTRINOS; CRYSTALS; PHYSICS; MASS AB In germanium-based light detectors for scintillating bolometers, a SiO2 anti-reflective coating is often applied on the side of the germanium wafer exposed to light with the aim to improve its light collection efficiency. In this paper, we report about a measurement, performed in the temperature range 25-35 mK, of the light-collection increase obtained thanks to this method, which resulted to be of the order of 20%. The procedure followed has been carefully selected in order to minimize systematic effects. The employed light sources have the same spectral features (peaking at similar to 630 nm wavelength) that will characterize future neutrinoless double beta decay experiments on the isotope Se-82 and based on ZnSe crystals, such as LUCIFER. The coupling between source and light detector reproduces the configuration used in scintillating bolometers. The present measurement clarifies the role of SiO2 coating and describes a method and a set-up that can be extended to the study of other types of coatings and luminescent materials.

TI The LUX prototype detector: Heat exchanger development SO NUCLEAR INSTRUMENTS & METHODS IN PHYSICS RESEARCH SECTION A-ACCELERATORS SPECTROMETERS DETECTORS AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT LA English DT Article DE Noble-liquid detectors; Charge transport and multiplication in liquid media; Large detector systems for particle and astroparticle physics ID DARK-MATTER AB The LUX (large underground xenon) detector is a two-phase xenon time projection chamber (TPC) designed to search for WIMP-nucleon dark matter interactions. As with all noble element detectors, continuous purification of the detector medium is essential to produce a large ( > 1 ms) electron lifetime; this is necessary for efficient measurement of the electron signal which in turn is essential for achieving robust discrimination of signal from background events. In this paper, we describe the development of a novel purification system deployed in a prototype detector. The results from the operation of this prototype indicated heat exchange with an efficiency above 94% up to a flow rate of 42 slpm, allowing for an electron drift length greater than I m to be achieved in approximately 2 days and sustained for the duration of the testing period.

GRETINA is capable of reconstructing the energy and position of each 7-gamma ay interaction point inside the crystal with high resolution. This enables 7-gamma ay energy tracking which in turn provides an array with large photopeak efficiency, high resolution and good peak-to-total ratio. GRETINA is used for nuclear structure studies with demanding 7-gamma ay detection requirements and it is suitable for experiments with radioactive-ion beams with high recoil velocities. The GRETINA array has a 1 pi solid angle coverage and constitutes the first stage towards the full 4 pi array GRETA. We present in this paper the main parts and the performance of the GRETINA system.

Unfortunately, most of the existing data on the performance of scintillators for radiation detection at elevated temperatures is fragmentary, uncorrelated, and generally limited to relatively low temperatures- in most cases to temperatures well below 200 degrees C. We have designed a system for characterizing scintillator performance at temperatures extending up to 400 degrees C under inert atmospheric conditions, and this system is applied here to the determination of scintillator performance at elevated temperatures for a wide range of scintillators including, among others: bismuth germanate, cadmium tungstate, cesium iodide, cesium iodide (Tl), cesium iodide (Na), sodium iodide, sodium iodide (Tl), lutetium oxy-orthosilicate (Ce), zinc tungstate, yttrium aluminum perovskite (a), yttrium aluminum garnet (Ce), lutetium aluminum perovskite (Ce), and barium fluoride, strontium iodide (Eu). Most of the scintillator samples exhibited severe degradation in light yield at elevated temperatures. Measurements were terminated at temperatures at which the measured light yield no longer appeared useful. The results of these high-temperature scintillator performance tests are described in detail here. Comparisons of the relative elevated-temperature properties of the various scintillator materials have resulted in the identification of promising scintillator candidates for high-temperature use in geothermal and fossil-fuel well environments.

We apply this method to 6 different closures for forced-dissipative simulations of the barotropic vorticity equation on an f-plane (2D Navier-Stokes equation). Using a high-resolution benchmark, we compare each closure's model of energy and enstrophy transfer to the actual transfer observed in the benchmark run. The error-landscape norm enables us to both make objective comparisons between the closures and to optimize each closure's free parameter for a fair comparison. The hyper-viscous closure most closely reproduces the enstrophy cascade, especially at larger scales due to the concentration of its dissipative effects to the very smallest scales. The viscous and Leith closures perform nearly as well, especially at smaller scales where all three models were dissipative. The Smagorinsky closure dissipates enstrophy at the wrong scales. The anticipated potential vorticity closure was the only model to reproduce the upscale transfer of kinetic energy from the unresolved scales, but would require high-order Laplacian corrections in order to concentrate dissipation at the smallest scales. The Lagrangian-averaged a-model closure did not perform successfully for forced 2D isotropic Navier-Stokes: small-scale filamentation is only slightly reduced by the model while small-scale roll-up is prevented. Together, this reduces the effects of diffusion. Published by Elsevier Ltd. C1 [Graham, Jonathan Pietarila; Ringler, Todd] Los Alamos Natl Lab, Los Alamos, NM 87545 USA.

The ground mixture was analyzed using a set of 14 wire mesh sieves. The calculated mean diameter of mixture was 251 mu m. The mixture was divided into four size fractions of mean size ranging from 74 to 781 mu m. Particle length measured by imaging technique were 34 times larger than the mean diameter determined by sieve analysis. Similarly, particle width was 1.02.5 times larger than mean particle diameter. The sphericity of particles in each of the four fractions increased with decreasing size of the sieve indicating that smaller particles also have a smaller aspect ratio. Empirical power law equations were developed to correlate the packing and flow ability of ground particles (HR) to the mean diameter, with R-2 values of 0.88 and 0.91, respectively. The HR values indicated good flow ability for the large particles and poor flow ability for the smallest particles and the entire mixture. HR and porosity ratio reached an asymptote for particles larger than 400 mu m. C1 [Tannous, K.] Univ Estadual Campinas, Sch Chem Engn, Sao Paulo, Brazil. [Lam, P. S.; Sokhansanj, S.; Grace, J.

Xu, Jin-Rong Yang, Xiao-Bing Yli-Mattila, Tapani Zhang, Ning TI One Fungus, One Name: Defining the Genus Fusarium in a Scientifically Robust Way That Preserves Longstanding Use SO PHYTOPATHOLOGY LA English DT Article ID SOLANI SPECIES COMPLEX; SUDDEN-DEATH SYNDROME; PHYLOGENY; TUCUMANIAE; TAXONOMY; REVEALS; GENERA AB In this letter, we advocate recognizing the genus Fusarium as the sole name for a group that includes virtually all Fusarium species of importance in plant pathology, mycotoxicology, medicine, and basic research. This phylogenetically guided circumscription will free scientists from any obligation to use other genus names, including teleomorphs, for species nested within this clade, and preserve the application of the name Fusarium in the way it has been used for almost a century. Due to recent changes in the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants, this is an urgent matter that requires community attention. The alternative is to break the longstanding concept of Fusarittm into nine or more genera, and remove important taxa such as those in the E solani species complex from the genus, a move we believe is unnecessary. Here we present taxonomic and nomenclatural proposals that will preserve established research connections and facilitate communication within alid between research communities, and at the same time support strong scientific principles and good taxonomic practice.

TI Multiple sensors ensure guide strand selection in human RNAi pathways SO RNA-A PUBLICATION OF THE RNA SOCIETY LA English DT Article DE RNAi; RISC; Dicer; TRBP; PACT; strand selection ID HUMAN ARGONAUTE PROTEINS; EMBRYONIC STEM-CELLS; HUMAN RISC; PASSENGER-STRAND; HUMAN DICER; THERMODYNAMIC PARAMETERS; SECONDARY STRUCTURE; ASSEMBLY PATHWAYS; SILENCING COMPLEX; ENZYME COMPLEX AB Small RNAs guide RNA-induced silencing complexes (RISCs) to bind to cognate mRNA transcripts and trigger silencing of protein expression during RNA interference (RNAi) in eukaryotes. A fundamental aspect of this process is the asymmetric loading of one strand of a short interfering RNA (siRNA) or microRNA (miRNA) duplex onto RISCs for correct target recognition. Here, we use a reconstituted system to determine the extent to which the core components of the human RNAi machinery contribute to RNA guide strand selection. We show that Argonaute2 (Ago2), the endonuclease that binds directly to siRNAs and miRNAs within RISC, has intrinsic but substrate-dependent RNA strand selection capability. This activity can be enhanced substantially when Ago2 is in complex with the endonuclease Dicer and the double-stranded RNA-binding proteins (dsRBPs)-trans-activation response (TAR) RNA-binding protein (TRBP) or protein activator of PKR (PACT). The extent to which human Dicer/dsRBP complexes contribute to strand selection is dictated by specific duplex parameters such as thermodynamics, 5' nucleotide identity, and structure. Surprisingly, our results also suggest that strand selection for some miRNAs is enhanced by PACT-containing complexes but not by those containing TRBP. Furthermore, overall mRNA targeting by miRNAs is disfavored for complexes containing TRBP but not PACT. These findings demonstrate that multiple proteins collaborate to ensure optimal strand selection in humans and reveal the possibility of delineating RNAi pathways based on the presence of TRBP or PACT.

TI Process for design optimization of honeycomb core sandwich panels for blast load mitigation SO STRUCTURAL AND MULTIDISCIPLINARY OPTIMIZATION LA English DT Article DE Honeycomb; Homogenization; Blast; Optimization; Sandwich plates; Virtual testing ID NUMERICAL-SIMULATION; SHAPE OPTIMIZATION; AIR BLAST; PLATES; BEHAVIOR AB A general process for optimization of a sandwich panel to minimize the effects of air blast loading is presented here. The panel geometry consists of two metal face plates with a crushable honeycomb or other type of core. Optimization is necessary as there is strong coupling between the several variables and the physics, which makes parametric studies relatively ineffective. Virtual testing is used to develop a homogenized model for the stress-strain curve of the honeycomb core, which can be readily applied to other types of cellular core. The homogenized model has been validated by comparison to existing results as well as to results from detailed finite element (FE) models. A design of experiments (DOE) based response surface optimization method in combination with LS-DYNA is used to minimize dynamic deflection or acceleration of the back face plate. Constraints on total mass and on plastic strain in the face plates are imposed. The mechanism of lowering the backface deflection is by increasing front face plate thickness which effectively distributes the blast load to a larger area of the core and avoids local concave deformation of the front face plate. Further, core depth is increased which increases panel stiffness. For acceleration minimization, results again produce a stiffer front face plate, but accompanied by a sufficiently soft core. The mechanism of lowering the backface acceleration is by absorbing energy with low transmitted stress. A clear cut comparison between monolithic metal plates and sandwich plates, for the same loading and failure criteria, is presented here. C1 [Nayak, S. K.; Singh, A. K.; Belegundu, A.

We found that ZnO spheres can be formed when the SDAs are optimized with the proper pH values. At pH values less than 12, an anisotropic growth of ZnO flowers and rod structures was produced with/without SDAs. On the contrary, at a pH value of 12 the directional growth of ZnO was absolutely controlled and an isotropic growth of ZnO spheres was developed with the presence of SDAs. We also found that the volume ratio of ethanol and urea in the solution was a key factor to modulate the uniform size distribution and diameter of the ZnO spheres from nanometer to micrometer range.

TI Properties of SiAlO2N protective coatings on surface acoustic wave devices SO THIN SOLID FILMS LA English DT Article DE Silicon aluminum oxynitride; Protective coatings; Elastic moduli; Surface acoustic wave devices ID SIO2 FILM OVERLAYS; HIGH-TEMPERATURE; CERAMICS; CONSTANTS; QUARTZ AB The use of a protective wear-resistant amorphous SiAlO2N thin film overlayer (amorphous SiO2-AlN alloy) on top of surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices is demonstrated on both quartz and langatate substrates. SiAlO2N films were deposited by RF magnetron sputtering onto sapphire substrates, quartz SAW devices, and langatate SAW devices. The SiAlO2N layer had an amorphous structure, a density of 2.8 +/- 0.1 g/cm(3), a roughness less than 1 nm as measured by X-ray reflectivity, and a dielectric permittivity of 7.5 +/- 0.05 as determined from microfabricated SiAlO2N capacitors. SiAlO2N elastic constants C-11 and C-44 were extracted using a numerical implementation of the matrix method for SAWs traveling in multilayer structures, and were found to be C-11 = 160 +/- 30 GPa and C-44 = 55 +/- 5 GPa. The operating frequencies of quartz SAW devices covered with SiAlO2N coatings were only slightly perturbed, but the temperature coefficient of delay (TCD) near 100 degrees C increased significantly by 250 ppm/degrees C. For langatate SAW devices, the SiAlO2N coating contributed an additional 8.5 dB to device transmission loss but the TCDs were minimally affected for SiAlO2N thicknesses up to 800 nm. This result suggests that langatate SAW devices for which temperature-frequency characteristics are important can be designed without consideration of the multi-layer structure, which greatly simplifies device design and modeling.

We find that the desired field-emission characteristics were not compromised when a protective coating consisting of a layer of palladium of 5 and 30 nm thickness was applied. Following exposure to a hydrogen plasma for several hours we find that the coatings impede plasma damage significantly, whereas the field-emission properties of uncoated nanofibers degraded much more rapidly. The results demonstrate that carbon nanofibers with protective conformal metal coatings can be integrated into harsh plasma environments enabling a range of applications such as field-ionization ion sources and advanced (micro)-plasma discharges.

TI Monte Carlo analysis of the propagation of fusion neutrons in a high enriched uranium system SO ANNALS OF NUCLEAR ENERGY LA English DT Article DE 14 MeV neutron; Pulse propagation; Neutron waves; 90% Enriched uranium; Monte Carlo methods; MCNP ID ASSEMBLIES AB Monte Carlo methods were used to calculate experimental observables related to the propagation of pulses of fusion neutrons in a compact and highly enriched (90%) subcritical system. These observables are the amplitude and phase of the Fourier transform of the detection rate of a He-3 moving detector, they correspond to the propagation of neutron waves excited by a sinusoidal neutron source. The MCNP code was used to model in great details all the heterogeneities of the experimental set up allowing in particular to have a good model of the neutron leakage in the direction perpendicular to the propagation. The very good results of the comparison with the experimental results contrast with previous comparisons with diffusion and transport theory models. The Monte Carlo modeling allows a full analysis of neutron wave experiment in space, time and energy allowing to define asymptotic regions where global complex wave vector exists. We propose to use the extensive literature of neutron wave experiments for further benchmark of MCNP. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

TI Comparative Genomic Analysis of Phylogenetically Closely Related Hydrogenobaculum sp Isolates from Yellowstone National Park SO APPLIED AND ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY LA English DT Article ID ARSENITE OXIDASE GENES; MICROBIAL COMMUNITY STRUCTURE; PROVIDES ACQUIRED-RESISTANCE; LIVING TREE PROJECT; CRISPR-CAS SYSTEMS; RIBOSOMAL-RNA; PALINDROMIC REPEATS; THERMAL SPRINGS; SP-NOV.; DIVERSITY AB We describe the complete genome sequences of four closely related Hydrogenobaculum sp. isolates (>= 99.7% 16S rRNA gene identity) that were isolated from the outflow channel of Dragon Spring (DS), Norris Geyser Basin, in Yellowstone National Park (YNP), WY. The genomes range in size from 1,552,607 to 1,552,931 bp, contain 1,667 to 1,676 predicted genes, and are highly syntenic. There are subtle differences among the DS isolates, which as a group are different from Hydrogenobaculum sp. strain Y04AAS1 that was previously isolated from a geographically distinct YNP geothermal feature. Genes unique to the DS genomes encode arsenite [As(III)] oxidation, NADH-ubiquinone-plastoquinone (complex I), NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase chain, a DNA photolyase, and elements of a type II secretion system. Functions unique to strain Y04AAS1 include thiosulfate metabolism, nitrate respiration, and mercury resistance determinants. DS genomes contain seven CRISPR loci that are almost identical but are different from the single CRISPR locus in strain Y04AAS1. Other differences between the DS and Y04AAS1 genomes include average nucleotide identity (94.764%) and percentage conserved DNA (80.552%). Approximately half of the genes unique to Y04AAS1 are predicted to have been acquired via horizontal gene transfer. Fragment recruitment analysis and marker gene searches demonstrated that the DS metagenome was more similar to the DS genomes than to the Y04AAS1 genome, but that the DS community is likely comprised of a continuum of Hydrogenobaculum genotypes that span from the DS genomes described here to an Y04AAS1-like organism, which appears to represent a distinct ecotype relative to the DS genomes characterized.

Intracellular glucose was phosphorylated by glucokinase using GTP rather than ATP. Although phosphofructokinase typically uses ATP as a phosphoryl donor, we found only pyrophosphate (PPi)-linked activity. Phosphoglycerate kinase used both GDP and ADP as phosphoryl acceptors. In agreement with the absence of a pyruvate kinase sequence in the C. thermocellum genome, no activity of this enzyme could be detected. Also, the annotated pyruvate phosphate dikinase (ppdk) is not crucial for the generation of pyruvate from phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP), as deletion of the ppdk gene did not substantially change cellobiose fermentation. Instead pyruvate formation is likely to proceed via a malate shunt with GDP-linked PEP carboxykinase, NADH-linked malate dehydrogenase, and NADP-linked malic enzyme. High activities of these enzymes were detected in extracts of cellobiose-grown cells. Our results thus show that GTP is consumed while both GTP and ATP are produced in glycolysis of C. thermocellum. The requirement for PPi in this pathway can be satisfied only to a small extent by biosynthetic reactions, in contrast to what is generally assumed for a PPi-dependent glycolysis in anaerobic heterotrophs. Metabolic network analysis showed that most of the required PPi must be generated via ATP or GTP hydrolysis exclusive of that which happens during biosynthesis. Experimental proof for the necessity of an alternative mechanism of PPi generation was obtained by studying the glycolysis in washed-cell suspensions in which biosynthesis was absent. Under these conditions, cells still fermented cellobiose to ethanol. C1 [Zhou, Jilai; Olson, Daniel G.; Deng, Yu; Lynd, Lee R.] Dartmouth Coll, Thayer Sch Engn, Hanover, NH 03755 USA.

TI Coal fly ash interaction with environmental fluids: Geochemical and strontium isotope results from combined column and batch leaching experiments SO APPLIED GEOCHEMISTRY LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 9th International Symposium on Applied Isotope Geochemistry (AIG) CY SEP 19-23, 2011 CL Tarragona, SPAIN ID FUEL COMBUSTION RESIDUES; UTILIZATION BY-PRODUCTS; TRACE-ELEMENTS; INORGANIC CONSTITUENTS; MOBILIZATION; DISPOSAL; MOBILITY; WASTES; WATERS AB The major element and Sr isotope systematics and geochemistry of coal fly ash and its interactions with environmental waters were investigated using laboratory flow-through column leaching experiments (sodium carbonate, acetic acid, nitric acid) and sequential batch leaching experiments (water, acetic acid, hydrochloric acid). Column leaching of Class F fly ash samples shows rapid release of most major elements early in the leaching procedure, suggesting an association of these elements with soluble and surface bound phases. Delayed release of certain elements (e.g., Al, Fe, Si) signals gradual dissolution of more resistant silicate or glass phases as leaching continues. Strontium isotope results from both column and batch leaching experiments show a marked increase in Sr-87/Sr-86 ratio with continued leaching, yielding a total range of values from 0.7107 to 0.7138. For comparison, the isotopic composition of fluid output from a fly ash impoundment in West Virginia falls in a narrow range around 0.7124. The experimental data suggest the presence of a more resistant, highly radiogenic silicate phase that survives the combustion process and is leached after the more soluble minerals are removed. Strontium isotopic homogenization of minerals in coal does not always occur during the combustion process, despite the high temperatures encountered in the boiler. Early-released Sr tends to be isotopically uniform; thus the Sr isotopic composition of fly ash could be distinguishable from other sources and is a useful tool for quantifying the possible contribution of fly ash leaching to the total dissolved load in natural surface and ground waters.

Approach and Results-We used the National Runners' (n=33 060) and Walkers' (n=15 945) Health Study cohorts to examine the effect of differences in exercise mode and thereby exercise intensity on coronary heart disease (CHD) risk factors. Baseline expenditure (metabolic equivant hours per day [METh/d]) was compared with self-reported, physician-diagnosed incident hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes mellitus, and CHD during 6.2 years follow-up. Running significantly decreased the risks for incident hypertension by 4.2% (P<10(-7)), hypercholesterolemia by 4.3% (P<10(-14)), diabetes mellitus by 12.1% (P<10(-5)), and CHD by 4.5% per METh/d (P=0.05). The corresponding reductions for walking were 7.2% (P<10(-6)), 7.0% (P<10(-8)), 12.3% (P<10(-4)), and 9.3% (P=0.01). Relative to <1.8 METh/d, the risk reductions for 1.8 to 3.6, 3.6 to 5.4, 5.4 to 7.2, and >= 7.2 METh/d were as follows: (1) 10.1%, 17.7%, 25.1%, and 34.9% from running and 14.0%, 23.8%, 21.8%, and 38.3% from walking for hypercholesterolemia; (2) 19.7%, 19.4%, 26.8%, and 39.8% from running and 14.7%, 19.1%, 23.6%, and 13.3% from walking for hypertension; and (3) 43.5%, 44.1%, 47.7%, and 68.2% from running, and 34.1%, 44.2% and 23.6% from walking for diabetes mellitus (walking >5.4 METh/d excluded for too few cases). The risk reductions were not significantly different for running than walking for diabetes mellitus (P=0.94), hypertension (P=0.06), or CHD (P=0.26), and only marginally greater for walking than running for hypercholesterolemia (P=0.04). Conclusions-Equivalent energy expenditures by moderate (walking) and vigorous (running) exercise produced similar risk reductions for hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes mellitus, and possibly CHD.

Thus, it is not surprising that many people overeat, which in some can result in obesity, whereas others take drugs, which in some can result in addiction. Though food intake and body weight are under homeostatic regulation, when highly palatable food is available, the ability to resist the urge to eat hinges on self-control. There is no homeostatic regulator to check the intake of drugs (including alcohol); thus, regulation of drug consumption is mostly driven by self-control or unwanted effects (i.e., sedation for alcohol). Disruption in both the neurobiological processes that underlie sensitivity to reward and those that underlie inhibitory control can lead to compulsive food intake in some individuals and compulsive drug intake in others. There is increasing evidence that disruption of energy homeostasis can affect the reward circuitry and that overconsumption of rewarding food can lead to changes in the reward circuitry that result in compulsive food intake akin to the phenotype seen with addiction. Addiction research has produced new evidence that hints at significant commonalities between the neural substrates underlying the disease of addiction and at least some forms of obesity. This recognition has spurred a healthy debate to try and ascertain the extent to which these complex and dimensional disorders overlap and whether or not a deeper understanding of the crosstalk between the homeostatic and reward systems will usher in unique opportunities for prevention and treatment of both obesity and drug addiction.

This result was made possible by three main factors: the use of a coherent (synchrotron) source of X-rays, the exploitation of contrast mechanisms based on the real part of the refractive index and the magnification provided by high-resolution Fresnel zone-plate objectives. We specifically obtained high-quality microradiographs of human and mouse cells with 29 nm Rayleigh spatial resolution and verified that tomographic reconstruction could be implemented with a final resolution level suitable for subcellular features. We also demonstrated that a phase retrieval method based on a wave propagation algorithm could yield good subcellular images starting from a series of defocused microradiographs. The concluding discussion compares cellular and subcellular hard-X-ray microradiology with other techniques and evaluates its potential impact on biomedical research. (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Light microscopy is a powerful tool for observations of the dynamics of live cells, its resolution attainable is limited and insufficient. While electron microscopy can produce images with astonishing resolution and clarity of ultra-thin (<1 mu m thick) sections of biological specimens, many questions involve the three-dimensional organization of a cell or the interconnectivity of cells. X-ray microscopy offers superior imaging resolution compared to light microscopy, and unique capability of nondestructive three-dimensional imaging of hydrated unstained biological cells, complementary to existing light and electron microscopy. Until now, X-ray microscopes operating in the "water window" energy range between carbon and oxygen k-shell absorption edges have produced outstanding 3D images of cryo-preserved cells. The relatively low X-ray energy (<540 eV) of the water window imposes two important limitations: limited penetration (<10 mu m) not suitable for imaging larger cells or tissues, and small depth of focus (DoF) for high resolution 3D imaging (e.g., similar to 1 mu m DoF for 20 nm resolution). An X-ray microscope operating at intermediate energy around 2.5 key using Zernike phase contrast can overcome the above limitations and reduces radiation dose to the specimen. Using a hydrated model cell with an average chemical composition reported in literature, we calculated the image contrast and the radiation dose for absorption and Zernike phase contrast, respectively. The results show that an X-ray microscope operating at similar to 2.5 key using Zernike phase contrast offers substantial advantages in terms of specimen size, radiation dose and depth-of-focus.

This study investigated the biogeography of bacterioplankton community in Singapore seawaters. Twelve stations around Singapore island were sampled on different schedules over 1year. Using PCR-DNA fingerprinting, DNA cloning and sequencing, and microarray hybridization of the 16S rRNA genes, we observed clear spatial variations of bacterioplankton diversity within the small area of the Singapore seas. Water samples collected from the Singapore Strait (south) throughout the year were dominated by DNA sequences affiliated with Cyanobacteria and Alphaproteobacteria that were believed to be associated with the influx of water from the open seas in Southeast Asia. On the contrary, water in the relatively polluted Johor Strait (north) were dominated by Betaproteobacteria, Gammaproteobacteria, and Bacteroidetes and that were presumably associated with river discharge and the relatively eutrophic conditions of the waterway. Bacterioplankton diversity was temporally stable, except for the episodic surge of Pseudoalteromonas, associated with algal blooms. Overall, these results provide valuable insights into the diversity of bacterioplankton communities in Singapore seas and the possible influences of hydrological conditions and anthropogenic activities on the dynamics of the communities.

TI An Approach for Addressing Hard-to-Detect Hot Spots SO HEALTH PHYSICS LA English DT Article DE operational topics; chemical toxicity; contamination; environmental; environmental assessment AB The Multi-Agency Radiation Survey and Site Investigation Manual (MARSSIM) survey approach is comprised of systematic random sampling coupled with radiation scanning to assess acceptability of potential hot spots. Hot spot identification for some radionuclides may not be possible due to the very weak gamma or x-ray radiation they emit these hard-to-detect nuclides are unlikely to be identified by field scans. Similarly, scanning technology is not yet available for chemical contamination. For both hard-to-detect nuclides and chemical contamination, hot spots are only identified via volumetric sampling. The remedial investigation and cleanup of sites under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act typically includes the collection of samples over relatively large exposure units, and concentration limits are applied assuming the contamination is more or less uniformly distributed. However, data collected from contaminated sites demonstrate contamination is often highly localized. These highly localized areas, or hot spots, will only be identified if sample densities are high or if the environmental characterization program happens to sample directly from the hot spot footprint. This paper describes a Bayesian approach for addressing hard-to-detect nuclides and chemical hot spots. The approach begins using available data (e.g., as collected using the standard approach) to predict the probability that an unacceptable hot spot is present somewhere in the exposure unit. This Bayesian approach may even be coupled with the graded sampling approach to optimize hot spot characterization. Once the investigator concludes that the presence of hot spots is likely, then the surveyor should use the data quality objectives process to generate an appropriate sample campaign that optimizes the identification of risk-relevant hot spots.

Four scenarios were considered. The two current uses considered were on-site industrial use and off-site residential use with farming. The two future uses (i.e., after an institutional control period of 100 y) were on-site recreational use and on-site residential use with farming. The RESRAD-OFFSITE code was used for the current-use off-site residential/farming scenario and RESRAD (onsite) was used for the other three scenarios. Contaminants of concern were identified from the past operations conducted in the buildings and the actual characterization done at the site. Derived Concentration Guideline Levels were developed for all four scenarios using deterministic and probabilistic approaches, which include both "peak-of-the-means" and "mean-of-the-peaks" analyses. The future-use on-site residential/farming scenario resulted in the most restrictive Derived Concentration Guideline Levels for most radionuclides.

First, thin-film ZnO sensors are fabricated directly onto a HDD suspension component, which was a unique and challenging process since the substrate is steel. The sensor geometry is designed to be selective to vibration modes that contribute to displacement in the off-track direction. The smart suspension structure is then packaged into an experimental HDD, along with a miniaturized conditioning circuit and lead zirconate titanate (PZT) actuation elements. The sensors demonstrate excellent sensitivity and selectivity to the desired modes. Finally, an active mode damping controller is implemented on the instrumented, PZT-actuated prototype. Feedback control using the thin film sensors effectively suppresses the high-frequency sway mode of the suspension. C1 [Felix, Sarah] Lawrence Livermore Natl Lab, Livermore, CA 94550 USA.

Non-isothermal ice-crystallization rates and ice-crystallization temperatures are obtained from heat-flow measurements in a water-saturated commercial GDL at cooling rates of 2.5, 5, 10, and 25 K/min. Our previously developed isothermal ice-crystallization rate expression is extended to non-isothermal crystallization to predict ice-crystallization kinetics in a GDL at various cooling rates. Agreement between DSC experimental results and theory is good. Both show that as the cooling rate increases, ice-crystallization rates increase and crystallization temperatures decrease monotonically. Importantly, we find that the cooling rate during crystallization has a negligible effect on the crystallization rate when crystallization times are much faster than the time to decrease the sample temperature by the subcooling. Based on this finding, we propose a pseudo-isothermal method for obtaining non-isothermal crystallization kinetics using isothermal crystallization kinetics evaluated at the non-isothermal crystallization temperature.

TI Structural and nanomechanical properties of InN films grown on Si(1 0 0) by femtosecond pulsed laser deposition SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICS D-APPLIED PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID MOLECULAR-BEAM EPITAXY; VAPOR-PHASE EPITAXY; NITRIDE THIN-FILMS; INDIUM NITRIDE; BAND-GAP; HETEROEPITAXIAL GROWTH; ELECTRON-TRANSPORT; ELASTIC-MODULUS; WURTZITE INN; SURFACE AB The structural and nanomechanical properties of InN films grown on Si(1 0 0) using femtosecond pulsed laser deposition were studied for different growth conditions. Atomic nitrogen was generated by either thermal cracking or laser-induced breakdown (LIB) of ammonia. Optical emission spectroscopy was conducted on the laser plasma and used to observe atomic nitrogen formation. An indium buffer layer was initially grown on the Si substrate at low temperature. The surface structure and morphology were investigated by in situ reflection high-energy electron diffraction, ex situ atomic force microscopy and x-ray diffraction (XRD). The results show that the initial buffer indium layers were terminated with the In(2 x 1) structure and had a smooth surface. With increased coverage, the growth mode developed from two-dimensional layers to three-dimensional islands. At room temperature (RT), formation of submicrometre islands resulted in mixed crystal structure of In and InN. As the substrate temperature was increased to 250-350 degrees C, the crystal structure was found to be dominated by fewer In and more InN, with only InN formed at 350 degrees C. The XRD patterns show that the grown InN films have wurtzite crystal structure. The film hardness near the surface was observed to increase from less than 1 GPa, characteristic of In for the sample grown at RT using the thermal cracker, to a hardness of 11 GPa at 30 nm from surface, characteristic of InN for samples grown at 350 degrees C by LIB. The hardness at deep indents reaches the hardness of the Si substrate of similar to 12 GPa. C1 [Hafez, M. A.; Mamun, M. A.; Elmustafa, A. A.; Elsayed-Ali, H.

TI Systematics of 2(+) states in C isotopes from the no-core shell model SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICS G-NUCLEAR AND PARTICLE PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID NUCLEI AB We study low-lying states of even carbon isotopes in the range A = 10-20 within the large-scale no-core shell model. Using several accurate nucleon-nucleon (NN) as well as NN plus three-nucleon (NNN) interactions, we calculate excitation energies of the lowest 2(+) state, the electromagnetic B(E2; 2(1)(+) -> 0(1)(+)) transition rates, and the 2(1)(+) quadrupole moments as well as selected electromagnetic transitions among other states. Recent experimental campaigns to measure 2(+)-state lifetimes indicate an interesting evolution of nuclear structure that pose a challenge to reproduce theoretically from first principles. Our calculations do not include any effective charges or other fitting parameters. However, calculated results extrapolated to infinite model spaces are also presented. The model-dependence of those results is discussed. Overall, we find good agreement with the experimentally observed trends, although our extrapolated B(E2; 2(1)(+) -> 0(1)(+)) value for C-16 is lower compared to the most recent measurements. Relative transition strengths from higher excited states are investigated and the influence of NNN forces is discussed. In particular for 16C we find a remarkable sensitivity of the transition rates from higher excited states to the details of the nuclear interactions.

Heating by laser solves the problems associated with the presence of reactive gases interacting with hot filaments used in resistive heating methods. It also facilitates collection of a small total electron yield signal by eliminating interference with heating current leakage and ground loops.

Methods and results Using a combination of real and simulated data, we have constructed a data set that represents a plausible time series resulting from surveillance of a large scale bioterrorist anthrax attack in Miami. We discuss the performance of anomaly detection with structural models for these data using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) and activity monitoring operating characteristic (AMOC) analysis. In addition, we show that these techniques provide a method for predicting the level of the outbreak valid for approximately 2 weeks, post-alarm. Conclusions Structural models provide an effective tool for the analysis of biosurveillance data, in particular for time series with noisy, non-stationary background and missing data.

Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viruses of the H5N1 subtype continue to evolve through reassortment and mutations. Our recent phylogenetic analysis identified a group of HPAI H5N1 viruses with two characteristic mutations in NS1: the avian virus-type PDZ domain-binding motif ESEV (which affects virulence) was replaced with ESKV, and NS1-138F (which is highly conserved among all influenza A viruses and may affect the activation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase [PI3K]/Akt signaling pathway) was replaced with NS1-138Y. Here, we show that an HPAI H5N1 virus (A/duck/Hunan/69/2004) encoding NS1-ESKV and NS1-138Y was confined to the respiratory tract of infected mice, whereas a mutant encoding NS1-ESEV and NS1-138F caused systemic infection and killed mice more efficiently. Mutation of either one of these sites had small effects on virulence. In addition, we found that the amino acid at NS1-138 affected not only the induction of the PI3K/Akt pathway but also the interaction of NS1 with cellular PDZ domain proteins. Similarly, the mutation in the PDZ domain-binding motif of NS1 altered its binding to cellular PDZ domain proteins and affected Akt phosphorylation. These findings suggest a functional interplay between the mutations at NS1-138 and NS1-229 that results in a synergistic effect on influenza virulence.

TI Stability and equation of state of post-aragonite BaCO3 SO PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY OF MINERALS LA English DT Article DE BaCO3; Carbonates; High pressure; Equation of state ID HIGH-PRESSURE POLYMORPHS; CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE; CARBON-DIOXIDE; PHASE; CACO3; MANTLE; CO2; SEQUESTRATION; DIFFRACTION; TRANSITION AB At ambient conditions, witherite is the stable form of BaCO3 and has the aragonite structure with space group Pmcn. Above similar to 10 GPa, BaCO3 adopts a post-aragonite structure with space group Pmmn. High-pressure and high-temperature synchrotron X-ray diffraction experiments were used to study the stability and equation of state of post-aragonite BaCO3, which remained stable to the highest experimental P-T conditions of 150 GPa and 2,000 K. We obtained a bulk modulus K (0) = 88(2) GPa with = 4.8(3) and V (0) = 128.1(5) (3) using a third-order Birch-Murnaghan fit to the 300 K experimental data. We also carried out density functional theory (DFT) calculations of enthalpy (H) of two structures of BaCO3 relative to the enthalpy of the post-aragonite phase. In agreement with previous studies and the current experiments, the calculations show aragonite to post-aragonite phase transitions at similar to 8 GPa. We also tested a potential high-pressure post-post-aragonite structure (space group C222 (1) ) featuring four-fold coordination of oxygen around carbon. In agreement with previous DFT studies, Delta H between the C222 (1) structure and post-aragonite (Pmmn) decreases with pressure, but the Pmmn structure remains energetically favorable to pressures greater than 200 GPa. We conclude that post-post-aragonite phase transformations of carbonates do not follow systematic trends observed for post-aragonite transitions governed solely by the ionic radii of their metal cations.

When exposed to carbon-dioxide-rich brines, the alkaline cement undergoes a series of reactions that form distinctive fronts adjacent to the cement surface. However, quantifying the effect of these reactions on fracture permeability is not solely a question of geochemistry, as the reaction zones also change the cement's mechanical properties, modifying the fracture geometry as a result.This paper describes how these geochemical and geomechanical processes affect fracture permeability in wellbore cement. These competing influences are discussed in light of data from a core-flood experiment conducted under carbon sequestration conditions: reaction chemistry, fracture permeability evolution over time, and comparative analysis of X-ray tomography of unreacted and reacted cement samples. These results are also compared to predictions by a complementary numerical study that couples geochemical, geomechanical and hydrodynamic simulations to model the formation of reaction fronts within the cement and their effect on fracture permeability.

TI The TRUSPEAK Concept: Combining CMPO and HDEHP for Separating Trivalent Lanthanides from the Transuranic Elements SO SOLVENT EXTRACTION AND ION EXCHANGE LA English DT Article DE Lanthanide separation; actinide separation; lanthanide; actinide separation; CMPO; HDEHP ID NUCLEAR-FUEL; EXTRACTION; BACK; AM AB Combining octyl(phenyl)-N,N-diisobutyl-carbamoylmethyl-phosphine oxide (CMPO) and bis-(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid (HDEHP) into a single process solvent for separating transuranic elements from liquid high-level waste is explored. Co-extraction of americium and the lanthanide elements from nitric acid solution is possible with a solvent mixture consisting of 0.1 M CMPO plus 1 M HDEHP in n-dodecane. Switching the aqueous-phase chemistry to a citrate-buffered solution of diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA) allows for selective stripping of americium, separating it from the lanthanide elements. Potential strategies have been developed for managing molybdenum and zirconium (both of which co-extract with americium and the lanthanides). The work presented here demonstrates the feasibility of combining CMPO and HDEHP into a single extraction solvent for recovering americium from high-level waste and its separation from the lanthanides.

In recent years, we have developed extensions of a deterministic procedure, the fractal-multifractal (FM) method, whose patterns share fine details and textures of individual data sets in addition to the usual key statistical properties. This work discusses our latest efforts at encoding four geometrically distinct storms gathered in Iowa City with parameters found running a modified particle swarm optimization procedure. The results reaffirm the capabilities of the FM method as all storms are closely fitted within measurement errors. All sets may be encoded with a compression ratio exceeding 350:1, have a maximum error in cumulative distribution less than 2.5 %, and closely preserve the autocorrelation, power spectrum, and multifractal spectrum of the records.

Mukerji, Tapan Knight, Rosemary TI A methodology for quantifying the value of spatial information for dynamic Earth problems SO STOCHASTIC ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND RISK ASSESSMENT LA English DT Article ID BURIED QUATERNARY VALLEYS; GROUNDWATER; DENMARK; RESISTIVITY AB We develop a methodology for assessing the value of information (VOI) from spatial data for groundwater decisions. Two sources of uncertainty are the focus of this VOI methodology: the spatial heterogeneity (how it influences the hydrogeologic response of interest) and the reliability of geophysical data (how they provide information about the spatial heterogeneity). An existing groundwater situation motivates and in turn determines the scope of this research. The objectives of this work are to (1) represent the uncertainty of the dynamic hydrogeologic response due to spatial heterogeneity, (2) provide a quantitative measure for how well a particular information reveals this heterogeneity (the uncertainty of the information) and (3) use both of these to propose a VOI workflow for spatial decisions and spatial data. The uncertainty of the hydraulic response is calculated using many Earth models that are consistent with the a priori geologic information. The information uncertainty is achieved quantitatively through Monte Carlo integration and geostatistical simulation. Two VOI results are calculated which demonstrate that a higher VOI occurs when the geophysical attribute (the data) better discriminates between geological indicators. Although geophysical data can only indirectly measure static properties that may influence the dynamic response, this transferable methodology provides a framework to estimate the value of spatial data given a particular decision scenario.

TI Evidence for length-dependent wire expansion, filament dedensification and consequent degradation of critical current density in Ag-alloy sheathed Bi-2212 wires SO SUPERCONDUCTOR SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article ID CONDUCTOR DEVELOPMENT; ROUND WIRES; MAGNET; NB3SN AB It is well known that longer Bi-2212 conductors have significantly lower critical current density (J(c)) than shorter ones, and recently it has become clear that a major cause of this reduction is internal gas pressure generated during heat treatment, which expands the wire diameter and dedensifies the Bi-2212 filaments. Here we report on the length-dependent expansion of 5-240 cm lengths of state-of-the-art, commercial Ag alloy sheathed Bi-2212 wire after full and some partial heat treatments. Detailed image analysis along the wire length shows that the wire diameter increases with distance from the ends, longer samples often showing evident damage and leaks provoked by the internal gas pressure. Comparison of heat treatments carried out just below the melting point and with the usual melt process makes it clear that melting is crucial to developing high internal pressure. The decay of J(c) away from the ends is directly correlated to the local wire diameter increase, which decreases the local Bi-2212 filament mass density and lowers J(c), often by well over 50%. It is clear that control of the internal gas pressure is crucial to attaining the full J(c) of these very promising round wires and that the very variable properties of Bi-2212 wires are due to the fact that this internal gas pressure has so far not been well controlled.

In this study, grain refinement was achieved through the addition of commercial grain refiner Al Ti5B1 to gas tungsten arc weld metal of the aluminium alloys 1050A (Al 99.5) and 5083 (Al Mg4.5Mn0.7). The grain refiner additions led to a significant reduction of the weld metal mean grain size (Alloy 1050A, 86 %; Alloy 5083, 44 %) with a change in grain shape from columnar to equiaxed. Tensile tests showed for Alloy 5083 that the weld metal's ductility can be increased through grain refinement. No improvement in weld metal strength (i.e. yield strength and ultimate tensile strength) was observed. Furthermore, tear tests with notched specimens revealed that the resistance against initiation and propagation of cracks in the weld metal can be enhanced through grain refinement. The toughness was observed to increase clearly by grain refinement in weld metal of commercial pure Al (Alloy 1050A). In Alloy 5083 weld metal, the toughness was not improved through grain refinement, likely because of a semi-continuous network of brittle intermetallic phases that facilitate crack propagation.

The effects of all anthropogenic aerosols, and anthropogenic black carbon (BC), sulfate, and primary organic matter (POM) are decomposed from different sensitivity simulations. Anthropogenic sulfate and POM reduce the solar flux reaching the surface directly by scattering the solar radiation, and indirectly by increasing the cloud droplet number concentration and cloud liquid water path over East China. The surface air temperature over land is reduced, and the precipitation in North China is suppressed. Unlike anthropogenic sulfate and POM, anthropogenic BC does not have a significant effect on the air temperature at the surface, because of the reduction of the cloud liquid water path and the weakening of shortwave cloud forcing by its semi-direct effect. The anthropogenic BC strengthens the southwesterly wind over South China and leads to stronger deep convection at the 25 degrees N-30 degrees N latitudinal band. The effect of all anthropogenic aerosols on air temperature, clouds, and precipitation is not a linear summation of effects from individual anthropogenic sulfate, BC and POM. Overall all anthropogenic aerosols suppress the precipitation in North China and enhance the precipitation in South China and adjacent ocean regions. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Forty-five different associated projects were conducted across five US agencies over the course of nearly a decade involving hundreds of researchers. One of the primary objectives of the intensive campaign was to investigate the ability of atmospheric inversion techniques to use highly calibrated CO2 mixing ratio data to estimate CO2 flux over the major croplands of the United States by comparing the results to an inventory of CO2 fluxes. Statistics from densely monitored crop production, consisting primarily of corn and soybeans, provided the backbone of a well studied bottom-up inventory flux estimate that was used to evaluate the atmospheric inversion results. Estimates were compared to the inventory from three different inversion systems, representing spatial scales varying from high resolution mesoscale (PSU), to continental (CSU) and global (CarbonTracker), coupled to different transport models and optimization techniques. The inversion-based mean CO2-C sink estimates were generally slightly larger, 820% for PSU, 1020% for CSU, and 21% for CarbonTracker, but statistically indistinguishable, from the inventory estimate of 135 TgC. While the comparisons show that the MCI region-wide C sink is robust across inversion system and spatial scale, only the continental and mesoscale inversions were able to reproduce the spatial patterns within the region. In general, the results demonstrate that inversions can recover CO2 fluxes at sub-regional scales with a relatively high density of CO2 observations and adequate information on atmospheric transport in the region.

TI Causal Factors of Weld Porosity in Gas Tungsten Arc Welding of Powder-Metallurgy-Produced Titanium Alloys SO JOM LA English DT Article ID MICROSTRUCTURE; TOUGHNESS AB An investigation was undertaken using gas tungsten arc (GTA) welding on consolidated powder metallurgy (PM) titanium (Ti) plate to identify the causal factors behind observed porosity in fusion welding. Tramp element compounds of sodium and magnesium, residual from the metallothermic reduction of titanium chloride used to produce the titanium, were remnant in the starting powder and were identified as gas-forming species. PM-titanium made from revert scrap, where sodium and magnesium were absent, showed fusion weld porosity, although to a lesser degree. We show that porosity was attributable to hydrogen from adsorbed water on the surface of the powders prior to consolidation. The removal and minimization of both adsorbed water on the surface of titanium powder and the residues from the reduction process prior to consolidation of titanium powders are critical for achieving equivalent fusion welding success similar to that seen in wrought titanium produced via the Kroll process.

TI Innovative mathematical modeling in environmental remediation SO JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RADIOACTIVITY LA English DT Article DE Modeling; Reactive transport; Radioactive contamination; Land remediation ID REACTIVE TRANSPORT; SUBSURFACE MEDIA; GROUNDWATER; URANIUM; COMPONENTS; ADSORPTION; PARADIGM; SULFATE; SOIL AB There are two different ways to model reactive transport: ad hoc and innovative reaction-based approaches. The former, such as the Kd simplification of adsorption, has been widely employed by practitioners, while the latter has been mainly used in scientific communities for elucidating mechanisms of biogeochemical transport processes. It is believed that innovative mechanistic-based models could serve as protocols for environmental remediation as well. This paper reviews the development of a mechanistically coupled fluid flow, thermal transport, hydrologic transport, and reactive biogeochemical model and example-applications to environmental remediation problems. Theoretical bases are sufficiently described. Four example problems previously carried out are used to demonstrate how numerical experimentation can be used to evaluate the feasibility of different remediation approaches. The first one involved the application of a 56-species uranium tailing problem to the Melton Branch Subwatershed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) using the parallel version of the model. Simulations were made to demonstrate the potential mobilization of uranium and other chelating agents in the proposed waste disposal site. The second problem simulated laboratory-scale system to investigate the role of natural attenuation in potential off-site migration of uranium from uranium mill tailings after restoration. It showed inadequacy of using a single Kd even for a homogeneous medium. The third example simulated laboratory experiments involving extremely high concentrations of uranium, technetium, aluminum, nitrate, and toxic metals (e.g., Ni, Cr, Co). The fourth example modeled microbially-mediated immobilization of uranium in an unconfined aquifer using acetate amendment in a field-scale experiment. The purposes of these modeling studies were to simulate various mechanisms of mobilization and immobilization of radioactive wastes and to illustrate how to apply reactive transport models for environmental remediation.

Moreover, other signals produced by microorganisms affect auxin pathways in host plants. However, the precise role of auxin and auxin-signalling pathways in modulating plantmicrobe interactions is unknown. Dissecting out the auxin synthesis, transport and signalling pathways resulting in the characteristic molecular, physiological and developmental response in plants will further illuminate upon how these intriguing inter-species interactions of environmental, ecological and economic significance occur. The present review seeks to survey and summarize the scattered evidence in support of known host root modifications brought about by beneficial microorganisms and implicate the role of auxin synthesis, transport and signal transduction in modulating beneficial effects in plants. Finally, through a synthesis of the current body of work, we present outstanding challenges and potential future research directions on studies related to auxin signalling in plantmicrobe interactions.

TI Effect of thermal cycle on microstructure and mechanical properties of CLAM steel weld CGHAZ SO SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY OF WELDING AND JOINING LA English DT Article DE CLAM steel; Physical thermal simulation; Microstructure; Mechanical property; CGHAZ ID CONCEPTUAL DESIGN; CHINA; ALLOY; STRATEGY; JOINTS AB Based on the previous work of SHCCT diagram developing of China low activation martensitic (CLAM) steel, the effect of thermal cycle on the microstructure and mechanical properties of CLAM steel weld is investigated using physical thermal simulation (Gleeble 3500) to control heat input accurately. Three conditions including single layer, double layer welding and post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) are involved. The results show that higher cooling rate leads to better grain refinement but higher hardness in the coarse grained heat affected zone. Precipitation of delta ferrite is relatively severe when the cooling rate is low. Thermal cycle during double layer welding has an obvious weakening effect on mechanical properties, which mainly results from the larger quantity of delta ferrite precipitates. The microstructure and mechanical properties of CLAM steel joints can be improved by PWHT. Hardness of heat-affected zone tends to keep uniform with the increase of tempering temperature.

Using this method, sample-sized, high-quality graphene has been prepared on a pseudomorphic monolayer of Co and Pd deposited on Ru(0001) respectively, and studied by scanning tunneling microscopy, low energy electron diffraction, Auger electron spectroscopy, and density function theory calculations. Graphene develops moire patterns on the two pseudomorphic monolayer surfaces, with a periodicity that is identical to that of graphene on Ru(0001) but completely different from graphene on Co(0001) and Pd(111). STM measurements, supported by DFT calculations, indicate that graphene on the two surfaces exhibits distinctly different corrugation from that of graphene on Ru(0001), in order of decreasing height Co-ML/Ru>Ru>Pd-ML/Ru, suggesting that this method can be used to tune the interaction strength between graphene and a metal substrate.

Here we describe structural and functional intermediates of the cis cisterna assembly process in high-pressure frozen algae (Scherffelia dubia, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii) and plants (Arabidopsis thaliana, Dionaea muscipula; Venus flytrap) as determined by electron microscopy, electron tomography and immuno-electron microscopy techniques. Our findings are as follows: (i) The cis-most (C1) Golgi cisternae are generated de novo from cisterna initiators produced by the fusion of 35 COPII vesicles in contact with a C2 cis cisterna. (ii) COPII vesicles fuel the growth of the initiators, which then merge into a coherent C1 cisterna. (iii) When a C1 cisterna nucleates its first cisterna initiator it becomes a C2 cisterna. (iv) C2-Cn cis cisternae grow through COPII vesicle fusion. (v) ER-resident proteins are recycled from cis cisternae to the ER via COPIa-type vesicles. (vi) In S. dubia the C2 cisternae are capable of mediating the self-assembly of scale protein complexes. (vii) In plants, approximate to 90% of native -mannosidase I localizes to medial Golgi cisternae. (viii) Biochemical activation of cis cisternae appears to coincide with their conversion to medial cisternae via recycling of medial cisterna enzymes. We propose how the different cis cisterna assembly intermediates of plants and algae may actually be related to those present in the ERGIC and in the pre-cis Golgi cisterna layer in mammalian cells.

One of the key virulence factors in the pathology of tuberculosis infection is Lipoarabinomannan (LAM). Previously, we have demonstrated the reliable detection of LAM in urine from tuberculosis patients in a sandwich immunoassay format. We have also applied an ultra-sensitive detection strategy developed for amphiphilic biomarkers, membrane insertion, to the detection of LAM with a limit of detection of 10 fM. Herein, we evaluate the application of membrane insertion to the detection of LAM in patient serum, and demonstrate that the circulating concentrations of 'monomeric' LAM in serum are very low, despite significantly higher concentrations in the urine. Using spiked samples, we demonstrate that this discrepancy is due to the association of LAM with high-density lipoprotein (HDL) nanodiscs in human serum. Indeed, pull-down of HDL nanodiscs from human serum allows for the recovery of HDL-associated LAM. These studies suggest that LAM is likely associated with carrier molecules such as HDL in the blood of patients infected with tuberculosis. This phenomenon may not be limited to LAM in that many pathogen-associated molecular patterns like LAM are amphiphilic in nature and may also be associated with host lipid carriers. Such interactions are likely to affect hostepathogen interactions, pathogen bio-distribution and clearance in the host, and must be thoroughly understood for the effective design of vaccines and diagnostics.

One high productivity processcontinuous hydrolysis and fermentationhas been applied in corn ethanol industry. However, little research related to this process has been conducted on cellulosic ethanol production. Here, we report and compare the kinetics of both batch SHF (separate hydrolysis and co-fermentation) and SSCF (simultaneous saccharification and co-fermentation) of AFEX (Ammonia Fiber Expansion) pretreated corn stover (AFEX-CS). Subsequently, we designed a SSCF process to evaluate continuous hydrolysis and fermentation performance on AFEX-CS in a series of continuous stirred tank reactors (CSTRs). Based on similar sugar to ethanol conversions (around 80% glucose-to-ethanol conversion and 47% xylose-to-ethanol conversion), the overall process ethanol productivity for continuous SSCF was 2.3- and 1.8-fold higher than batch SHF and SSCF, respectively. Slow xylose fermentation and high concentrations of xylose oligomers were the major factors limiting further enhancement of productivity. Biotechnol. Bioeng. 2013; 110: 13021311.

The Dhc transcriptome was examined at three time-points throughout a batch feeding cycle: T1 (27h) when TCE, dichloroethene (DCE), and vinyl chloride (VC) were present; T2 (54h) when only VC remained; and T3 (13 days) when Dhc had been starved of substrate for 9 days. Ninety percent of the Dhc open reading frames (ORFs) that were detected in the ANAS DNA were found to be expressed as RNA sometime during the time course, demonstrating extraordinary utilization of the streamlined genome. Ninety-seven percent of these transcripts were differentially expressed during the time course indicating efficiency of transcription through regulation in Dhc. Most Dhc genes were significantly down-regulated at T3, responding to a lack of substrate as would be expected. The tceA and vcrA genes, which code for proteins with known chlorinated ethene reduction functions, were highly expressed at both T1 and T2, whereas two other putative reductive dehalogenase genes (DET0173 and DET1545) were most highly expressed at T2, likely in response to the presence of VC. Hydrogenases were most highly expressed at T1, reflecting their important role in accumulating electrons used to initiate reductive dechlorination and other biosynthesis pathways. Cobalamin transport genes were preferentially expressed at T2, reflecting an increase in corrinoid transport as chloroethenes were degraded and a decrease in activity of the transport system after dehalogenation was complete. This is the first application of a microarray targeting a known genus, including both core genomes and identified strain-specific genes, to improve our understanding of transcriptional dynamics within an undefined microbial community.

The long-lived radionuclides in the releases were Sr-90 and Cs-137. Contamination of the components of the Techa River system resulted in chronic external and internal exposure of about 30,000 residents of riverside villages. Data on radionuclide intake with diet are used to estimate internal dose in the Techa River Dosimetry System (TRDS), which was elaborated for the assessment of radiogenic risk for Techa Riverside residents. The Sr-90 intake function was recently improved, taking into account the recently available archival data on radionuclide releases and in-depth analysis of the extensive data on Sr-90 measurements in Techa Riverside residents. The main purpose of this paper is to evaluate the dietary intake of Cs-137 by Techa Riverside residents. The Cs-137 intake with river water used for drinking was reconstructed on the basis of the Sr-90 intake-function and the concentration ratio Cs-137-to-Sr-90 in river water. Intake via Cs-137 transfer from floodplain soil to grass and cows' milk was evaluated for the first time. As a result, the maximal Cs-137 intake level was indicated near the site of releases in upper-Techa River settlements (8,000-9,000 kBq). For villages located on the lower Techa River, the Cs-137 intake was significantly less (down to 300 kBq). Cows' milk was the main source of Cs-137 in diet in the upper-Techa River region.

We examine a general expert search problem: searching experts on the web, where millions of webpages and thousands of names are considered. It has mainly two challenging issues: 1) webpages could be of varying quality and full of noises; 2) The expertise evidences scattered in webpages are usually vague and ambiguous. We propose to leverage the large amount of co-occurrence information to assess relevance and reputation of a person name for a query topic. The co-occurrence structure is modeled using a hypergraph, on which a heat diffusion based ranking algorithm is proposed. Query keywords are regarded as heat sources, and a person name which has strong connection with the query (i.e., frequently co-occur with query keywords and co-occur with other names related to query keywords) will receive most of the heat, thus being ranked high.

In this paper, we show that the problem of finding a partition maximizing the modularity of a given graph G can be reduced to a minimum weighted cut (MWC) problem on a complete graph with the same vertices as G. We then show that the resulting minimum cut problem can be efficiently solved by adapting existing graph partitioning techniques. Our algorithm finds clusterings of a comparable quality and is much faster than the existing clustering algorithms. C1 [Djidjev, Hristo N.] Los Alamos Natl Lab, Los Alamos, NM 87545 USA.

Two representative low-permeability sandstone cores were obtained from the Shenhua Group CCS site in the Erdos Basin in China and the experimental study was in support of China's first field test. Unlike most laboratory experiments with two-phase CO2-water flow, dry CO2 was injected in the CO2-flood experiments, and deionized water (without dissolved CO2) was used in the water-flood experiments. In the CO2-flood experiments, dynamic displacement of water by injected CO2 was investigated using transient inlet and outlet pressures and transient flow rates of outflowing CO2 and water. The residual water saturation estimated at the end of the experiments (with an injection rate of 1.2 mL min(-1)) for both cores is 0.52. The higher residual water saturation can be attributed to the high CO2/water viscosity contrast and non-uniform displacement. The estimated relative CO2 permeability at residual water saturation varies from 0.13 to 0.23. During the water-flood experiments, non-equilibrium CO2 dissolution at the core scale was observed using the transient concentration of total dissolved CO2 in outflowing water. The non-equilibrium dissolution possibly results from non-uniform distribution of water and CO2 caused by sub-core heterogeneity. The endpoint CO2 saturation estimated varies from 0.17 to 0.10 for a low injection rate of 0.2 mL min(-1). Additional experiments indicate that higher water injection rate (up to 2 mL min(-1)) drive more free-phase CO2 out of the cores, with less CO2 mass stored, because of CO2 density change with elevated pressure and weaker capillarity for low-permeability sandstone. Additional experiments with injected water of varying dissolved CO2 concentration (including CO2-saturated conditions) indicate that CO2 dissolution mobilizes additional free-phase CO2 out of the cores by enhanced displacement, and increases relative water permeability after CO2 displacement is complete, even though dissolution only accounts for 6-7% of the total CO2 mass initially in the cores before the experiments.

TI Regional evaluation of brine management for geologic carbon sequestration SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF GREENHOUSE GAS CONTROL LA English DT Article DE CO2 capture and sequestration; Pressure management; Spatial distribution; Brine management; Geologic carbon sequestration; Renewable energy ID WATER-TREATMENT; CO2 STORAGE; PRESSURE MANAGEMENT; SALINE FORMATIONS; DESALINATION; FEASIBILITY; EXTRACTION; GENERATION; MITIGATION; INJECTION AB Large scale deployment of carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and sequestration (CCS) has the potential to significantly reduce global CO2 emissions, but this technology faces social, economic, and environmental challenges that must be managed early on. Carbon capture technology is water-, energy-, and capital-intensive and proposed geologic carbon sequestration (GCS) storage options, if conducted in pressure-constrained formations, may generate large volumes of extracted brine that require costly disposal. In this study, we evaluate brine management in three locations of the United States (US) and assess whether recovered heat, water, and minerals can turn the brine into a resource. Climate and aquifer parameters varied between the three regions and strongly affected technical feasibility. We discovered that the levelized net present value (NPV) of extracted brine can range from -$50 (a cost) to +$10 (a revenue) per ton of CO2 injected (mt-CO2) for a CO2 point source equivalent to emissions from a 1000 MW coal-fired power plant (CFPP), compared to CCS NPV ranging from -$40 to -$70 per mt-CO2. Upper bound scenarios reflect assumed advancements in current treatment technologies and a favorable market and regulation landscape for brine products and disposal. A regionally appropriate management strategy may be able to treat the extracted brine as a source of revenue, energy, and water. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Although recent studies have largely focused on the mobilization of trace elements in response to the intrusion of CO2 into such aquifers, in this paper we investigate two other leakage issues and potential effects on groundwater quality: the transport of organic compounds by supercritical CO2 from deep storage reservoirs and the upward migration of CO2 with co-injected H2S. Numerical simulations show that organic compounds that may be present at depth, such as benzene, could be mobilized by supercritical CO2 and migrate with the leaking CO2. Modeling results also show that upon the transport of CO2 + H2S mixtures through a hypothetical leakage pathway, H2S arrival in the shallower aquifer is delayed in comparison with that of CO2 due to the preferential dissolution of H2S into the aqueous phase. The potentially adverse impacts of leakage on shallow groundwater quality may be exacerbated for cases of leaking CO2 + H2S, compared to intrusion of pure CO2, possibly leading to the mobilization of thiophilic elements such as arsenic. Geo-chemical reactions included in the simulations involve adsorption/desorption, reductive dissolution of goethite, precipitation of pyrite, siderite, and arsenic sulfide phases. The models presented are generic in nature, exploring important processes regarding organic compounds and co-injected H2S, and calling attention to the need for more site-specific studies taking into account the variability and uncertainty of key hydrogeologic and geochemical parameters.

The core-scale experiments were monitored using X-ray computed tomography to examine the flow paths of the fluids. Both nitrogen and scCO2 showed gravity override, however both flowed through a very narrow pathway through the calcite sand, and a broader pathway through the silica sand. Synchrotron computed microtomography volumes were acquired for sub-samples of each type of sand and reconstructions of the sand samples were analyzed using the maximal inscribed spheres method modified for mixed-wet conditions to estimate characteristic curves for a number of contact angles. These characteristic curves are used to explain and interpret the experimental results. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The typical cap rock is shale or mudstone rich in clay minerals that may significantly affect the effectiveness of the CO2 trapping. Specific objectives of this study were to conduct experimental investigation into the processes associated with CO2 and H2O trapped in swelling clay, namely, Wyoming and Texas montmorillonite powder. Combined (same-sample) multi-technique data - manometric sorption isotherm hysteresis, diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopy 'trapped CO2' fingerprints, irreversible X-ray diffraction patterns for the clay interlayer in intermediate hydration state, and HF acid digestion resulting in formation of non-extractable F:CO2 adducts - corroborate a hypothesis that carbon dioxide molecules can be irreversibly trapped via anomalous extreme confinement in the galleries associated with montmorillonite interlayer, which may result in formation of carbonates in the longer term. Validation on Arizona montmorillonite lumps substantiated the evidence that such processes may occur in natural clay deposits but possibly on a different scale and at a different rate.

TI Atmospheric and soil-gas monitoring for surface leakage at the San Juan Basin CO2 pilot test site at Pump Canyon New Mexico, using perfluorocarbon tracers, CO2 soil-gas flux and soil-gas hydrocarbons SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF GREENHOUSE GAS CONTROL LA English DT Article DE Sequestration; Monitoring; Tracers ID SEQUESTRATION; USA; INJECTION; MONTANA; BOZEMAN; COAL AB Near-surface monitoring and subsurface characterization activities were undertaken in collaboration with the Southwest Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership on their San Juan Basin coal-bed methane pilot test site near Navajo City, New Mexico. Nearly 18,407 short tons (1.670 x 10(7) kg) of CO2 were injected into 3 seams of the Fruitland coal between July 2008 and April 2009. Between September 18 and October 30, 2008, two additions of approximately 20 L each of perfluorocarbon (PFC) tracers were mixed with the CO2 at the injection wellhead. PFC tracers in soil-gas and in the atmosphere were monitored over a period of 2 years using a rectangular array of permanent installations. Additional monitors were placed near existing well bores and at other locations of potential leakage identified during the pre-injection site survey. Monitoring was conducted using sorbent containing tubes to collect any released PFC tracer from soil-gas or the atmosphere. Near-surface monitoring activities also included CO2 surface flux and carbon isotopes, soil-gas hydrocarbon levels, and electrical conductivity in the soil. The value of the PFC tracers was demonstrated when a significant leakage event was detected near an offset production well. Subsurface characterization activities, including 3D seismic interpretation and attribute analysis, were conducted to evaluate reservoir integrity and the potential that leakage of injected CO2 might occur. Leakage from the injection reservoir was not detected. PFC tracers made breakthroughs at 2 of 3 offset wells which were not otherwise directly observable in produced gases containing 20-30% CO2. These results have aided reservoir geophysical and simulation investigations to track the underground movement of CO2. 3D seismic analysis provided a possible interpretation for the order of appearance of tracers at production wells.

TI Worker safety in a mature carbon capture and storage industry in the United States based upon analog industry experience SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF GREENHOUSE GAS CONTROL LA English DT Article DE Worker safety; Public safety; Analog industry; Carbon capture storage ID RISK-ASSESSMENT; TRANSPORT; DIOXIDE AB Insight into worker safety in a mature carbon capture and storage (CCS) industry in the United States (US) can be gained by analogy to a variety of existing industries. Worker safety in capture facility construction will be below median, as is typical for construction. Worker safety in capture operation will be above median based on the oil refining, fossil fuel electric power generation, and industrial gas processing analogs. Pipeline construction and operation worker injury rates will be below median based on analogy with oil and gas pipeline construction and operation; however construction will have the unfortunately typical high fatality rate. Storage field worker safety will be mixed with below median injury rates but high fatality rates based on the oil and gas production analog. Still, safety in the oil and gas production analog is better than in the heavy and civil engineering construction industry and much better than in some other common industries, such as marine and truck transportation. CCS worker safety will be greater than the analogs due to the lack of flammable fluid handling, extremely high or low temperatures, product transportation by truck, and relatively less drilling effort, more geophysics effort, and more onshore work. Many of these differences also suggest CCS will be safer for the public than the analogs. Published by Elsevier B.V.

TI Flow asymmetry and nucleation stresses of {10(1)over-bar2} twinning and non-basal slip in magnesium SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PLASTICITY LA English DT Article DE Grain boundaries; Twinning; Anisotropic material; Crystal plasticity; Magnesium non-basal slip ID GRAIN-SIZE DEPENDENCE; SINGLE-CRYSTALS; PLASTIC-DEFORMATION; PREFERRED ORIENTATION; TEXTURE ANALYSIS; ZINC-CRYSTALS; HCP METALS; BASAL SLIP; ALLOYS; TWINS AB Non-Schmid phenomena leading to yield asymmetry are known to occur in BCC metals and intermetallic compounds due to complex mechanisms such as those related to the threedimensional core of screw dislocations, and their resulting cross slip activities sensitive to non-Schmid stresses. In this study, we identify and discuss a flow asymmetry due to a possible dependence of {10 (1) over bar2} twinning and non-basal slip critical resolved shear stresses. Both crystal plasticity simulations and EBSD serial imaging analyses, where an identical region is analyzed at various strain levels, suggested that these non-Schmid effects correlate with the effect of mantle plasticity, which is sensitive to the stress sign and initial texture. It was deduced from EBSD serial imaging analyses that low misoriented grain boundaries underwent a substantially higher nucleation and growth rates of twinning than highly misoriented grain boundaries. Conventional crystal plasticity based on a pseudo-slip approach for twinning was unable to capture these mantle-induced grain boundary effects related to the magnesium tension-compression asymmetry.

An elastic-viscoplastic, slip-based single crystal model that accounts for crystallographic orientation, temperature, and strain rate dependence has been formulated based on dislocation dynamics simulations and existing experimental data. The plastic model transitions from the low-rate, thermally-activated regime, to the high-rate, drag-dominated regime, by use of a distribution of dislocation velocities including kinetic effects. It has been compared favorably with experimental and computational results of copper. The transition to drag-dominated dislocation motion is predicted rather than empirically fit to experimental data. Published by Elsevier Ltd. C1 [Hansen, B. L.; Beyerlein, I. J.; Bronkhorst, C.

TI Eulerian adaptive finite-difference method for high-velocity impact and penetration problems SO JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL PHYSICS LA English DT Article DE Eulerian solid-dynamics; WENO; Adaptive mesh refinement (AMR); Level-sets; Ghost-fluid method; High-velocity impacts ID ELASTIC-PLASTIC SOLIDS; VIRTUAL TEST FACILITY; GHOST FLUID METHOD; LEVEL-SET; GODUNOV METHOD; HIGH-ORDER; INTERFACE TRACKING; COMPRESSIBLE FLOWS; STRONG SHOCK; MODEL AB Owing to the complex processes involved, faithful prediction of high-velocity impact events demands a simulation method delivering efficient calculations based on comprehensively formulated constitutive models. Such an approach is presented herein, employing a weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) method within an adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) framework for the numerical solution of hyperbolic partial differential equations. Applied widely in computational fluid dynamics, these methods are well suited to the involved locally non-smooth finite deformations, circumventing any requirement for artificial viscosity functions for shock capturing. Application of the methods is facilitated through using a model of solid dynamics based upon hyper-elastic theory comprising kinematic evolution equations for the elastic distortion tensor. The model for finite inelastic deformations is phenomenologically equivalent to Maxwell's model of tangential stress relaxation. Closure relations tailored to the expected high-pressure states are proposed and calibrated for the materials of interest. Sharp interface resolution is achieved by employing level-set functions to track boundary motion, along with a ghost material method to capture the necessary internal boundary conditions for material interactions and stress-free surfaces. The approach is demonstrated for the simulation of high velocity impacts of steel projectiles on aluminium target plates in two and three dimensions. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

The scheme applies to generic, conforming and non-orthogonal staggered grids, including the widely used lat-lon quadrilateral grids and the Delaunay-Voronoi tessellations. It can be viewed either as coupled C-grid schemes on the primary and dual meshes, or as an generalization of the traditional E-grid scheme on a new non-overlapping grid. Linear dispersive wave analysis shows that, the dispersive relations resolved by either the primary or the dual mesh of a uniform quadrilateral staggered grid is the same as those of the Z-grid scheme. The total wavenumber space resolved by the staggered grid is twice as large, on which the co-volume behaves exactly like the E-grid scheme. On a uniform hexagon-triangular staggered grid, the co-volume has two steady modes and two inertial-gravity modes on the hexagonal mesh, and one steady mode, two inertial gravity modes, and two spurious modes on the triangular mesh. On the wavenumber space resolved by either the hexagonal or the triangular mesh, the inertial-gravity wave modes remain positive and largely monotone. For the nonlinear shallow water equations, the co-volume scheme is shown to preserve the potential vorticity dynamics and the total energy exactly. Numerical results are presented to corroborate and supplement the analyses. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

The algorithms have been developed taking into account delayed neutrons and they have been implemented into the novel MCART code, which solves the neutron transport equation for two-dimensional geometry and an arbitrary number of energy groups. The MCART code uses regular mesh for the representation of the spatial domain, it models up-scattering, and takes advantage of OPENMP and OPENGL algorithms for parallel computing and plotting, respectively. The code has been benchmarked with the multiplication factor results of a Boiling Water Reactor, with the analytical results for a prompt jump transient in an infinite medium, and with PARTISN and TDTORT results for cross section and source transients. The numerical simulations have shown that only two numerical algorithms are stable for small time steps. (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

These include photoluminescence excitation and emission spectra, x-ray excited spectra, luminescence decay profiles, and reflectivity spectra. The observed luminescence is attributed to self-trapped excitons and transitions involving energy levels of oxygen vacancies. The oxygen-vacancy-related luminescence consists of a broad band in the region 350-750 nm with a peak around 460 nm. The optical and X-ray excited emission spectra differ due to the more selective nature possible with optical excitation. The experimental results are in general agreement with spectroscopic properties predicted by theoretical electronic structure calculations of oxygen vacancy states by Liu et al. in 2007 [15]. The excitation and emission properties of the oxygen vacancy luminescence are shown to vary with the atmosphere and temperature of the synthesis process. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

B12As2 powder was synthesized in a sealed quartz ampoule containing boron and arsenic heated to 1100 degrees C and 600 degrees C respectively for 72 h. The lattice constants of the B12As2 were measured by high temperature X-ray diffraction (HTXRD) between 25 degrees C and 850 degrees C. The average lattice coefficients of thermal expansion were calculated perpendicular and parallel to the < 111 > axis in the rhombohedral setting (equivalent to the a and c axes in the hexagonal setting) as 4.9 x 10(-6) K-1 and 5.3 x 10(-6) K-1 respectively. The average unit cell volumetric coefficient of thermal expansion was 15.0 x 10(-6) K-1. Knowing these values can be useful in explaining the cracking that occurs in heteroepitaxial B12As2 thin films and crystals precipitated from metal solutions upon cooling from their synthesis temperatures.

TI Randomness in Competitions SO JOURNAL OF STATISTICAL PHYSICS LA English DT Article DE Competitions; Social dynamics; Kinetic theory; Scaling laws; Algorithms ID DYNAMICS; STATISTICS; BASEBALL; MODEL AB We study the effects of randomness on competitions based on an elementary random process in which there is a finite probability that a weaker team upsets a stronger team. We apply this model to sports leagues and sports tournaments, and compare the theoretical results with empirical data. Our model shows that single-elimination tournaments are efficient but unfair: the number of games is proportional to the number of teams N, but the probability that the weakest team wins decays only algebraically with N. In contrast, leagues, where every team plays every other team, are fair but inefficient: the top of teams remain in contention for the championship, while the probability that the weakest team becomes champion is exponentially small. We also propose a gradual elimination schedule that consists of a preliminary round and a championship round. Initially, teams play a small number of preliminary games, and subsequently, a few teams qualify for the championship round. This algorithm is fair and efficient: the best team wins with a high probability and the number of games scales as N (9/5), whereas traditional leagues require N (3) games to fairly determine a champion.

Partial pair distribution functions have been produced and the pair bond distances and partial coordination numbers have been reported for these alloys. Similarities and differences in the amorphous structures of the Ca-Mg-Cu and Ca-Mg-Zn alloys have been discussed. Strong interactions between Ca-Cu, Mg-Cu and Ca-Zn atom pairs rooted from the orbital hybridization of the s-p-d electrons have been recognized to result in noticeable shortening of respective atom pair bond distances and pronounced chemical short range ordering near the TM atoms. Voronoi tessellation analysis has shown that the polytetrahedral-type clusters and five-coordinated atom pairs dominate in the amorphous structures, which indicates that tetrahedra and pentagonal bi-pyramids are the main building blocks in these amorphous alloys.

Results show that this alloy is a body center cubic (b.c.c.) phase in both bulk sample and in a thin film similar to 1.5 A mu m thick. The PDFs obtained from X-ray diffraction and neutron diffraction agree well with each other. The measured PDFs differ from the calculated PDF, particularly in the peak shape of the first two peaks, indicating local lattice distortion due to different atomic sizes in the solid solution.

This paper describes the current status of research on its strength, deformation mechanism and the possible role of stress-induced martensite. The theoretical basis for deformation at ideal strength is presented. The relevant experimental data is then discussed, including ex situ nanoindentation behavior and in situ pillar compression observed by transmission electron microscopy. (c) 2013 Acta Materialia Inc.

Quantification using precession-enhanced electron diffraction determined the crystallographic texture and grain-to-grain misorientation of the undeformed, pile-up and compressed regions. Grains in the undeformed region retained a high density of Sigma 3 recrystallization twins, whereas the pile-up showed significant coarsening, prevalent Sigma 7 subgrain formation and a decrease in twin boundaries. The abnormal grain growth is attributed to a detwinning mechanism. The compressed region showed significant grain refinement. (c) 2013 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Interacting voids decrease the stress required for the onset of plasticity, in comparison with earlier studies for isolated voids. Dislocations resulting from loading are emitted from void surfaces as shear loops, with their interactions leading to hardening. Plastic activity leads to a decrease in porosity, with voids disappearing at 14% strain. The resulting dislocation densities agree well with experimental results. (c) 2013 Acta Materialia Inc.

This approach is used in many first- and second-generation computer codes, where the section boundaries are selected to obey a geometric constraint. While this technique improves computational efficiency, it introduces a number of limitations, including poor representation of the initial size distribution and loss of resolution in the coagulated or final distribution. A robust and versatile computer model, SEROSA, has been developed, which permits an arbitrary number of sections with arbitrary size boundaries to simulate the temporal evolution of coagulation and deposition under multiple flow-regimes and coagulation types. The code permits a large number of parameter combinations and what-if scenarios under user control. Results are benchmarked against an analytical model as well as three coagulation models using coincident section boundaries and coagulation mechanisms. The comparison shows excellent agreement in cases where other computer models are known to perform well. The test cases also included scenarios where previously published computational coagulation models lack capabilities or exhibit numerical difficulties. Computational time varies depending on the number of sections, ageing, and coagulation types from a few seconds to minutes.

The main objective of this study is to compare the single particle functional group composition of SOA formed from five precursors (glyoxal, -pinene, isoprene, 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene, and d-limonene) to the composition of ambient particles from multiple field campaigns. This has implications for understanding the potential contributions of particles similar to those produced in SOA chambers to ambient compositions during those campaigns. Glyoxal uptake studies showed absorption from mainly alkyl, carbon-nitrogen (C-N), and carboxylic carbonyl groups. The SOA formed from the photooxidation of -pinene (with and without isoprene) showed stronger absorptions for alkyl and carbonyl groups than the SOA formed from glyoxal. The mass ratio of carbonyl to acid group was larger in -pinene-only experiments relative to the mixed -pinene-isoprene experiments. Of 338 single-particle spectra available from aerosol sampling at six field campaigns, 114 particles had spectral features that were considered similar to the chamber-SOA particles: MILAGRO-2006 (9 particles), VOCALS-2008 (41 particles), Whistler-2008 (22 particles), Scripps Pier-2009 (8 particles), Bakersfield-2010 (24 particles), and Whistler-2010 (10 particles). These similarities with chamber-generated SOA provide spectroscopic evidence of chemically similar SOA products from these precursors in ambient particles.

TI An extinction criterion for nonpremixed flames subject to brief periods of high dissipation rates SO COMBUSTION AND FLAME LA English DT Article DE Extinction; Unsteady flame; Nonpremixed flame; Scalar-dissipation rate ID PREMIXED TURBULENT COMBUSTION; AIR DIFFUSION FLAMES; SCALAR DISSIPATION; LOCAL EXTINCTION; ASYMPTOTIC STRUCTURE; REYNOLDS-NUMBER; STRAIN-RATE; REIGNITION; UNSTEADY; MODEL AB The existence of a critical dissipation rate, above which a steady nonpremixed flame is extinguished, is well known. Recent advances in modeling have allowed the simulation of turbulent nonpremixed flames that include local extinction as a consequence of the stochastic variation in dissipation rates. In this paper we present an extinction criterion for flames subject to unsteady dissipation rates. This criterion is expressed in terms of the critical dissipation-impulse magnitude, which depends on the time-integrated excess dissipation rate and stoichiometric factors. Limiting behaviors for large and small fluctuations of the dissipation rate above the critical value are identified. For large dissipation-rate fluctuations, the critical dissipation-impulse magnitude is independent of the details of the temporal dissipation-rate evolution. This critical dissipation-impulse magnitude is found to depend only on the steady-state characteristics of the particular fuel-oxidizer mixture present, namely the shape of the steady-state S-curve. In this way, a useful extinction criterion is developed that defines conditions for which unsteady mixing dynamics lead to extinction based on information available from steady-state flames. This criterion is found applicable for a diverse set of flames including n-heptane, diluted n-heptane, methane, partially premixed methane and CO/H-2/N-2 mixtures when dissipation-rate fluctuations are large. As the magnitude of the dissipation rate fluctuations approaches zero, the critical impulse approaches zero, which corresponds to the well-known steady extinction limit. Thus, this work extends the prediction of extinction from the steady limit to the unsteady. (C) 2013 Published by Elsevier Inc. on behalf of The Combustion Institute.

Also, biological terrorism is a concern with certain Brucella spp. Due to matrix-associated real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) inhibitors, robust sample preparations are crucial. We compared six commercial nucleic acid extraction kits using nine Mexican and Central American-style soft cheeses or creams and three liquid milk products inoculated with Brucella neotomae, a surrogate for pathogenic Brucella spp. Kits were evaluated by purity and quantity of DNA as determined by qPCR Ct values, reproducibility across cheese and milk types, and cost. At 10(7) CFU/g in four different cheeses, Qiagen statistically outperformed all other kits. When two cheese styles were inoculated at dual levels, Qiagen and High Pure kit extracted samples at 1.5 x 10(5) CFU/g produced average Ct values of 34-39, while PrepSEQ and MagMAX kit extracted samples exhibited higher or no Ct values. High Pure and Qiagen kits excelled also with liquid milk products. Considering matrices, inoculation levels, and kits evaluated, High Pure and Qiagen products produced Brucella DNA of high quality and quantity indicated by the lowest Ct values and were the least expensive.

Dry, 1 in. unconfined cores of Pittsburgh and Sewickly bituminous coals were exposed to supercritical CO2 at 15.3 MPa (2200 psig) and 328 K (55 degrees C) for 104 days. Prior to CO2 exposure, coal structure and porosity - specifically macropores (>50 nm) - were imaged using FE-SEM. After CO2 exposure, the imaged features were relocated, reimaged, and analyzed for structural changes. Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface areas were evaluated from the adsorption isotherms of N-2 at 77 K and P/P-0 = 0.1-0.3. Micropore surface areas were determined from the low-pressure adsorption isotherms of CO2 at 293 K using the Dubinin-Polanyi equation. FE-SEM analysis indicated that there were no significant changes observed in the pore areas in all coal samples after CO2 exposure. Meso- and micropore characteristics were slightly affected by supercritical CO2 exposure. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

The purpose of this article is to provide a perspective to the materials community on the opportunities and limitations of nanostructured materials by highlighting examples in synthesis, fundamental studies and applications. Nanostructured silicon (Si) anodes together with other cathode and anode materials are used as examples to illustrate the different methods available for synthesis and the range of materials that can be produced to improve the storage capacity and stability. Recent progresses in using well-defined nanostructures to gain new fundamental understanding of the complex electrochemical reactions and charge-discharge processes are also discussed. Finally, the paper addresses some key problems that are yet to be solved and the need to optimize the microstructures and control the high level architectures beyond nanoscale.

Accordingly on NSTXU, the PMI research has received a strong emphasis. With similar to 15 MW of auxiliary heating power, NSTX-U will be able to test the PMI physics with the peak projected divertor plasma facing component (PFC) heat loads of up to 40-60 MW/m(2). To support the PMI research, a comprehensive set of PMI diagnostic tools are being implemented. The snow-flake configuration can produce exceptionally high divertor flux expansion of up to similar to 50. Combined with the radiative divertor concept, the snowflake configuration has reduced the divertor heat flux by up to an order of magnitude in NSTX. Another area of active PMI investigation is the effect of divertor lithium coating (both in solid and liquid phases). The overall NSTX lithium PFC coating results suggest exciting opportunities for future magnetic confinement research including significant electron energy confinement improvements, H-mode power threshold reduction, the control of Edge Localized Modes (ELMs), and high heat flux handling. To support the NSTX-U/PPPL PMI research, there are also a number of associated PMI facilities implemented at PPPL/Princeton University including the Liquid Lithium R&D facility, Lithium Tokamak Experiment, and Laboratories for Materials Characterization and Surface Chemistry.

The effort includes testing of a compact, inductively-coupled plasma (ICP) source, which would eventually become part of an integrated, movable GDOES sub-chamber, including plasma source, gas-feed and pumping capability, configured to function inside the main vacuum chamber. The present, conceptual design for implementation on PSI-2 shows promise in meeting these challenges and is presented here. C1 [Klepper, C. C.; Caughman, J. B.; Martin, E.

The effects of substrate temperature, oxygen pressure, and an MgO template layer on film properties were systematically studied. The MgO template layers significantly influence the microstructure and the electrical properties of CdO:In films, but show different effects on glass and sapphire substrates. Under optimized conditions on glass substrates, CdO:In films with thickness of about 125 nm showed low resistivity of 5.9 x 10(-5) Omega cm, mobility of 112 cm(2)/Vs, and transmittance over 80 % (including the glass substrate) from 500 to 1500 nm. The optical bandgap of the films was found to be in the range of 2.7 to 3.2 eV using both the Tauc relation and the derivative of transmittance. The observed widening of the optical bandgap with increasing carrier concentration can be described well only by considering bandgap renormalization effects along with the Burstein-Moss shift for a nonparabolic conduction band.

TI Synthesis of platinum single-crystal nanoparticles in water vapor SO JOURNAL OF MATERIALS SCIENCE LA English DT Article DE Platinum; Water vapor ID HIGH-TEMPERATURE; MICROANALYSIS; NANOCRYSTALS; IMAGES AB Platinum (Pt) nanoparticles have broad application in automobile pollution control, sensors, and fuel cells. Single-crystal platinum particles over the range of nano- to micron-meters were synthesized at the Pt/SiC interface in high pressure water vapor at 1200 A degrees C. These particles exhibited a cube-octahedral shape with predominant (111) facets. Formation of the Pt particles is likely due to water vapor-facilitated oxidation of the platinum silicide, resulting from the interaction between SiC and Pt. Well-aligned Pt single-crystal particles with sizes of tens to hundreds nanometers were obtained on the surface of arc-melted Pt2Si after exposure in flowing water vapor (90 cm/min) at 1200 A degrees C for 5 min. The potential applications of this finding are discussed. C1 [Cheng, Ting; Parish, Chad M.; More, Karren L.] Oak Ridge Natl Lab, Div Mat Sci & Technol, Oak Ridge, TN USA.

TI Issues in using landscape indicators to assess land changes SO ECOLOGICAL INDICATORS LA English DT Article DE Attribution; Causal analysis; Land cover; Land use; Land management; Masking; Models; Uncertainty ID BRAZILIAN AMAZON; TROPICAL FOREST; COVER CHANGE; DEFORESTATION; PERSPECTIVE; DYNAMICS; RONDONIA; FUTURE; BIODIVERSITY; AGRICULTURE AB Landscape indicators, when combined with information about environmental conditions (such as habitat potential, biodiversity, carbon and nutrient cycling, and erosion) and socioeconomic forces, can provide insights about changing ecosystem services. They also provide information about opportunities for improving natural resources management. Landscape indicators rely on data regarding land cover, land management and land functionality. Challenges in using landscape indicators to assess change and effects include (1) measures of land management and attributes that are reliable, robust and consistent for all areas on the Earth do not exist, and thus land cover is more frequently utilized; (2) multiple types of land cover and management are often found within a single landscape and are constantly changing, which complicates measurement and interpretation; and (3) while causal analysis is essential for understanding and interpreting changes in indicator values, the interactions among multiple causes and effects over time make accurate attribution among many drivers of change particularly difficult. Because of the complexity, sheer number of variables, and limitations of empirical data on land changes, models are often used to illustrate and estimate values for landscape indicators, and those models have several problems. Recommendations to improve our ability to assess the effects of changes in land management include refinement of questions to be more consistent with available information and the development of data sets based on systematic measurement over time of spatially explicit land qualities such as carbon and nutrient stocks, water and soil quality, net primary productivity, habitat and biodiversity. Well-defined and consistent land-classification systems that are capable of tracking changes in these and other qualities that matter to society need to be developed and deployed. Because landscapes are so dynamic, it is crucial to develop ways for the scientific community to work together to collect data and develop tools that will enable better analysis of causes and effects and to develop robust management recommendations that will increases land's capacity to meet societal needs in a changing world.

Endowed with bioluminescent, fluorescent, or colorimetric signaling elements, bioreporters can provide a fast, easily measured link to chemical contaminant presence, bioavailability, and toxicity relative to a living system. Though well tested in the confines of the laboratory, real-world applications of bioreporters are limited. In this review, we will consider bioreporter technologies that have evolved from the laboratory towards true environmental applications, and discuss their merits as well as crucial advancements that still require adoption for more widespread utilization. Although the vast majority of environmental monitoring strategies rely upon bioreporters constructed from bacteria, we will also examine environmental biosensing through the use of less conventional eukaryotic-based bioreporters, whose chemical signaling capacity facilitates a more human-relevant link to toxicity and health-related consequences.

TI Combined X-ray and neutron diffraction Rietveld refinement in iron-substituted nano-hydroxyapatite SO JOURNAL OF MATERIALS SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID POWDER DIFFRACTION; HEMATITE; BONE AB Simultaneous Rietveld refinements of X-ray and neutron powder diffraction patterns were applied to study the effect of Fe substitution on the crystal structure properties of the Ca5-xFex(PO4)(3)OH system (0 <= x <= 0.3). From variations of the Ca(1) and Ca(2) site occupancies and modifications of interatomic distances with x, it is inferred that Fe substitutes at both crystallographic sites with a preference at the Ca(2) site. Such partiality is attributed to similar geometries of the sixfold coordinated Fe with the sevenfold coordinated Ca(2). The expected overall decrease of the lattice constants in the iron-substituted samples is followed by an increasing trend with x that is explained in terms of local lattice distortions. Hematite forms as a secondary phase starting at x = 0.1 up to 3.7 wt% for x = 0.3. Transmission electron microscopy reveals a nanosystem consisting of 15-65 nm rods and spheres, while hematite nanoparticles are distinguishable for x >= 0.1. A transition of the diamagnetic hydroxyapatite to paramagnetic Fe-hydroxyapatite was found from magnetic measurements, while the antiferromagnetic hematite develops hysteresis loops for x > 0.1.

In this paper, we describe our extensive matrix study of factors such as electrolyte composition, state of charge (SOC), and temperature that influence the stability of electrolytes in both positive and negative half-cells. During the study, an optimized electrolyte that can be operated in a temperature range from -5 degrees C to 50 degrees C without precipitation is identified. Fe/V flow cells using the optimized electrolyte and low-cost separator exhibit satisfactory cycling performance at different temperatures. Efficiencies, capacities, and energy densities of flow batteries at various temperatures are studied. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

However, their utility in EVs suffers from both voltage and capacity fade. The voltage fade is related to structural transformation in these lithium-rich oxides and must be thoroughly understood. In this work, we have utilized in situ X-ray diffraction in order to monitor these structural transformations during high voltage (4.8 V) cycling of a lithium- and manganese-rich Li1.2Co0.1Mn0.55Ni0.15O2 oxide cathode, which has not been reported previously. The lattice parameters of the cathode were monitored for first cycle and compared with the subsequent cycles. Based on our results, the c-lattice parameter increases during the course of initial charging and eventually decreases upon charging beyond 4.4 V, which verifies lithium extraction occurs from transition metal layers due to activation of Li2MnO3 phase at high-voltage. The fact that the a-lattice parameter remains constant at the first cycle plateau region indicates oxygen loss from the structure during first cycle charging which is attributed to irreversible capacity obtained from first cycle. For first and subsequent cycles, the c-lattice parameter increases during discharge up to 3.5 V and below 3.5 V, the decrease in those values was observed. After subsequent cycling, (440) cubic spinel reflections were observed during low voltage discharge process, which reveals a layer to spinel-like phase transformation in the lattice and is thought to be the reason for the observed voltage fade. A significant decrease in monoclinic phase was observed after subsequent cycles and is believed to contribute to the structural instability and capacity fade after repeated cycling.

With problems of this type, it is important to understand the relationships between the input (whose values are often imprecisely known) and the output variables, and to characterize the uncertainty in the output. Often, some of the input variables are categorical in nature (e.g., pointer variables to alternative models or different types of material, etc.). A computational model that sufficiently represents reality is often very costly in terms of run time. When the models are computationally demanding, meta-model approaches to their analysis have been shown to be very useful. However, the most popular meta-models for computational computer models do not explicitly allow for categorical input variables. In this case, categorical inputs are simply ordered in some way and treated as continuous variables in the estimation of a meta-model. In many cases, this can lead to undesirable and misleading results. In this paper, two meta-models based on functional ANOVA decomposition are presented that explicitly allow for an appropriate treatment of categorical inputs. The effectiveness of the presented meta-models in the analysis of models with continuous and categorical inputs is illustrated with several test cases and also with results from a real analysis.

The device forward conduction characteristics, leakage current, and switching performance are evaluated at various temperatures. Based on the device characterization, the impact of the increased junction temperature on a traction drive converter loss and thermal management is analyzed. It is shown that by extending the device junction temperature to 200 degrees C, the additional 65 degrees C coolant loop can be eliminated without compromising power density and thermal management design. Furthermore, the possible failure mechanisms including latching, short circuit fault, and avalanche capability are tested at elevated temperatures. The criteria considering thermal stability, thermal management, short circuit capability, and avalanche capability are given at 200 degrees C to ensure the safe and reliable operation of Si IGBTs.

International agencies recommend uncertainty and global sensitivity methods as best practice in the audit, validation and application of scientific codes. However, numerical complexity, especially in the presence of a high number of factors, induces analysts to employ less informative but numerically cheaper methods. This work introduces a design for estimating global sensitivity indices from given data (including simulation input-output data), at the minimum computational cost. We address the problem starting with a statistic based on the L-1-norm. A formal definition of the estimators is provided and corresponding consistency theorems are proved. The determination of confidence intervals through a bias-reducing bootstrap estimator is investigated. The strategy is applied in the identification of the key drivers of uncertainty for the complex computer code developed at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) assessing the risk of lunar space missions. We also introduce a symmetry result that enables the estimation of global sensitivity measures to datasets produced outside a conventional input-output functional framework. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.

TI Adaptive Selective Harmonic Minimization Based on ANNs for Cascade Multilevel Inverters With Varying DC Sources SO IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONICS LA English DT Article DE ANN; cascade inverter; multilevel inverter; neural network; real time; selective harmonic elimination; SHE ID NEURAL-NETWORKS; ELIMINATION; CONVERTERS; MOTOR AB A new approach for modulation of an 11-level cascade multilevel inverter using selective harmonic elimination is presented in this paper. The dc sources feeding the multilevel inverter are considered to be varying in time, and the switching angles are adapted to the dc source variation. This method uses genetic algorithms to obtain switching angles offline for different dc source values. Then, artificial neural networks are used to determine the switching angles that correspond to the real-time values of the dc sources for each phase. This implies that each one of the dc sources of this topology can have different values at any time, but the output fundamental voltage will stay constant and the harmonic content will still meet the specifications. The modulating switching angles are updated at each cycle of the output fundamental voltage. This paper gives details on the method in addition to simulation and experimental results.

TI Automated tree crown detection and size estimation using multi-scale analysis of high-resolution satellite imagery SO REMOTE SENSING LETTERS LA English DT Article ID SPATIAL WAVELET ANALYSIS; WINDOW SIZE; FOREST; DELINEATION; MORTALITY; SCALE; AREA; SEGMENTATION; LIDAR; RECOGNITION AB We tested an automated multi-scale approach for detecting individual trees and estimating tree crown geometry using high spatial resolution satellite imagery. Individual tree crowns are identified as local extrema points in the Laplacian-of-Gaussian scale-space pyramid that is constructed based on linear scale-space theory. The approach simultaneously detects tree crown centres and estimates tree crown sizes (radiuses). We evaluated our method using two 0.6-m resolution QuickBird images of a forest site that underwent a large shift in tree density between image captures due to drought-associated mortality. The automated multi-scale approach produced tree count estimates with an accuracy of 54% and 73% corresponding to the dense and sparse forests, respectively. Estimated crown diameters were linearly correlated with field-measured crown diameters (r = 0.730.86). Tree count accuracies and size estimates were comparable with alternative methods. Future use of the presented approach is merited based on the results of our study, but requires further investigation in a broader range of forest types.

Both Mn L-edges and ligand (O and F) K-edges are presented and compared with each other. Despite the distinct crystal structure and covalent/ionic nature in different systems, the Mn-L spectra fingerprint the Mn valence and spin states through spectral lineshape and energy position consistently and evidently. The clear O- and F-K pre-edge features in our high resolution spectra enable a quantitative definition of the molecular orbital diagram with different Mn valence. In addition, while the binding energy difference of the O-1s core electrons leads to a small shift of the O-K leading edges between trivalent and quadrivalent manganese oxides, a significant edge shift, with an order of magnitude larger in energy, was found between divalent and trivalent compounds, which is attributed to the spin exchange stabilization of half-filled 3d system. This shift is much enhanced in the ionic fluoride system. This work provides the spectroscopic foundation for further studies of complicated Mn compounds. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Here we analyze whole genomes, of PsJN and of eight other endophytic bacteria. This study illustrates that a wide spectrum of endophytio life styles exists. Although we postulate the existence of typical endophytic traits, no unique gene cluster could be exclusively linked to the endophytic lifestyle. Furthermore, our study revealed a high genetic diversity among bacterial endophytes as reflected in their genotypic and phenotypic features. B. phytofirrnans PsJN is in many aspects outstanding among the selected endophytes. It has the biggest genome consisting of two chromosomes and one plasmid, well-equipped with genes for the degradation of complex organic compounds and detoxification, e.g., 24 glutathione-S-transferase (GST) genes. Furthermore, strain PsJN has a high number of cell surface signaling and secretion systems and harbors the 3-OH-PAME quorum sensing system that coordinates the switch of free-living to the symbiotic lifestyle in the plant-pathogen B. solanacearum. The ability of B. phytofirmans PsJN to successfully colonize such a wide variety of plant species might be based on its large genome harboring a broad range of physiological functions.

The extent of the ecological impact of such an area is still being discovered. While the relationship between T. melanosporum and the other fungi present in the brule has been assessed, no data are available on the relationship between this fungus and the bacteria inhabiting the brule. Methodology/Principal Findings: We used DGGE and DNA microarrays of 16S rRNA gene fragments to compare the bacterial and archaeal communities inside and outside of truffle brules. Soil samples were collected in 2008 from four productive T. melanosporum/Quercus pubescens truffle-grounds located in Cahors, France, showing characteristic truffle brule. All the samples were analyzed by DGGE and one truffle-ground was analyzed also using phylogenetic microarrays. DGGE profiles showed differences in the bacterial community composition, and the microarrays revealed a few differences in relative richness between the brule interior and exterior zones, as well as differences in the relative abundance of several taxa. Conclusions/Significance: The different signal intensities we have measured for members of bacteria and archaea inside versus outside the brule are the first demonstration, to our knowledge, that not only fungal communities, but also other microorganisms are affected by T. melanosporum. Firmicutes (e.g., Bacillus), several genera of Actinobacteria, and a few Cyanobacteria had greater representation inside the brule compared with outside, whereas Pseudomonas and several genera within the class Flavobacteriaceae had higher relative abundances outside the brule. The findings from this study may contribute to future searches for microbial bio-indicators of brules. C1 [Mello, Antonietta] CNR, Turin UOS, Inst Plant Protect, I-00185 Rome, Italy.

Using quantum dots (Qdots) of different sizes (Qdot-440 nm and Qdot-680 nm) as a model system, we studied the effects of polyethylene glycol (PEG) thin-layer surface modification in attenuating Qdot-related cytotoxicity, genotoxicity perturbation and oxidative stress in a cellular system. We found that uncoated Qdots (U-Qdots) made of core/shell CdSe/ZnS could indeed induce cytotoxic effects, including the inhibition of cell growth. Also, both the neutral comet assay and gamma H2AX foci formation showed that U-Qdots caused significant DNA damage in a time- and dose-dependent manner. In contrast, results from cytotoxicity analysis and gamma H2AX generation indicate minimal impact on cells after exposure to PEG-coated Qdots. This lack of observed toxic effects from PEG-coated Qdots may be due to the fact that PEG-coating can inhibit ROS generation induced by U-Qdots. Based on these observations, we conclude that the genotoxicity of Qdots could be significantly decreased following proper surface modification, such as PEG encapsulation. In addition, PEG encapsulation may also serve as a general method to attenuate nanotoxicity for other nanoparticles. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Events containing B-s(0(*))(B) over bar (0(*))(s) pairs are selected by reconstructing a tag side D-s(+) and identifying a signal side lepton l(+) (l = e, mu) that is required to have the same- sign charge to ensure that both originate from different B-s(0) mesons. The B-s(0) -> X(-)l(+)v(l) branching fraction is extracted from the ratio of the measured yields of D-s(+) mesons and D(s)(+)l(+) pairs and the known production and branching fractions. The inclusive semileptonic branching fraction is measured to be [10.6 +/- 0.5(stat) +/- 0.7(syst)]%. C1 [Schnell, G.; Van Hulse, C.] Univ Basque Country UPV EHU, Bilbao 48080, Spain.

TI Baryon and meson screening masses SO PHYSICAL REVIEW D LA English DT Article ID DYSON-SCHWINGER EQUATIONS; JONA-LASINIO MODEL; QUANTUM CHROMODYNAMICS; FINITE-TEMPERATURE; QUARK CONFINEMENT; HADRON PROPERTIES; FADDEEV APPROACH; LIGHT QUARKS; QCD; NUCLEON AB In a strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma, collective excitations of gluons and quarks should dominate over the excitation of individual quasifree gluon and quark modes. To explore this possibility, we computed screening masses for ground-state light-quark mesons and baryons at leading order in a symmetry-preserving truncation scheme for the Dyson-Schwinger equations using a confining formulation of a contact interaction at nonzero temperature. Meson screening masses are obtained from Bethe-Salpeter equations, and baryon analogues from a novel construction of the Faddeev equation, which employs an improved quark-exchange approximation in the kernel. Our treatment implements a deconfinement transition that is coincident with chiral symmetry restoration in the chiral limit, when both transitions are second order. Despite deconfinement, in all T 0 bound-state channels, strong correlations persist above the critical temperature, T > T-c; and, in the spectrum defined by the associated screening masses, degeneracy between parity-partner correlations is apparent for T greater than or similar to 1.3T(c). Notwithstanding these results, there are reasons (including Golberger-Treiman relations) to suppose that the inertial masses of light-quark bound states, when they may be defined, vanish at the deconfinement temperature, and that this is a signal of bound-state dissolution. Where a sensible comparison is possible, our predictions are consistent with results from contemporary numerical simulations of lattice-regularized QCD.

TI Reactor antineutrino anomaly with known theta(13) SO PHYSICAL REVIEW D LA English DT Article ID NUCLEAR-POWER-REACTOR; NEUTRINO OSCILLATIONS; SEARCH; BUGEY; GALLEX AB We revisit the reactor antineutrino anomaly using the recent reactor flux independent determination of sizable theta(13) by considering the full set of the absolute reactor (nu) over bar (e) flux measurements. When normalized to the predicted flux of Mueller et al. [Phys. Rev. C 83, 054615 (2011)], the new world average, after including results from Palo Verde, Chooz, and Double Chooz, is 0.959 +/- 0.009 (experiment uncertainty) +/- 0.027 (flux systematics). Including the data with kilometer baseline, the new world average is only about 1.4 sigma lower than the unity, weakening the significance of the reactor antineutrino anomaly. The upcoming results from Daya Bay, RENO, and the Double Chooz will provide further information about this issue. C1 [Zhang, C.] Brookhaven Natl Lab, Upton, NY 11973 USA.

TI Relativistic generalization of formation and ion-reflection conditions in electrostatic shocks SO PHYSICAL REVIEW E LA English DT Article ID DOUBLE-LAYERS; COLLISIONLESS SHOCKS; ACCELERATORS; BEAMS; WAVE AB The theoretical model by Sorasio et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 045005 (2006)] for the steady state Mach number of electrostatic shocks formed in the interaction of two plasma slabs of arbitrary density and temperature is generalized for relativistic electron and nonrelativistic ion temperatures. We find that the relativistic correction leads to lower Mach numbers and as a consequence ions are reflected with lower energies. The steady state bulk velocity of the downstream population is introduced as an additional parameter to describe the transition between the minimum and maximum Mach numbers that is dependent on the initial density and temperature ratios. In order to transform the solitonlike solution in the upstream region into a shock, a population of reflected ions is considered and differences from a zero-ion temperature model are discussed.

TI Dual fermion method for disordered electronic systems SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID LOCALIZATION; APPROXIMATIONS; ALLOYS; MODEL AB While the coherent potential approximation (CPA) is the prevalent method for the study of disordered electronic systems, it fails to capture nonlocal correlations and Anderson localization. To incorporate such effects, we extend the dual fermion approach to disordered systems using the replica method. The developed method utilizes the exact mapping to the dual fermion variables, and includes intersite scattering via diagrammatic perturbation theory in the dual variables. The CPA is recovered as a zeroth-order approximation. Results for single- and two-particle quantities show good agreement with a cluster extension of the CPA; moreover, weak localization is captured. As a natural extension of the CPA, our method presents an alternative to existing nonlocal cluster theories for disordered systems, and has potential applications in the study of disordered systems with electronic interactions.

TI Interfacial coupling in multiferroic/ferromagnet heterostructures SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID BIFEO3 THIN-FILMS; SCANNING-ELECTRON-MICROSCOPY; NANOSCALE CONTROL; ROOM-TEMPERATURE; DOMAIN CONTROL; EXCHANGE BIAS; MULTIFERROICS AB We report local probe investigations of the magnetic interaction between BiFeO3 films and a ferromagnetic Co0.9Fe0.1 layer. Within the constraints of intralayer exchange coupling in the Co0.9Fe0.1, the multiferroic imprint in the ferromagnet results in a collinear arrangement of the local magnetization and the in-plane BiFeO3 ferroelectric polarization. The magnetic anisotropy is uniaxial, and an in-plane effective coupling field of order 10 mT is derived. Measurements as a function of multiferroic layer thickness show that the influence of the multiferroic layer on the magnetic layer becomes negligible for 3 nm thick BiFeO3 films. We ascribe this breakdown in the exchange coupling to a weakening of the antiferromagnetic order in the ultrathin BiFeO3 film based on our x-ray linear dichroism measurements. These observations are consistent with an interfacial exchange coupling between the CoFe moments and a canted antiferromagnetic moment in the BiFeO3.

TI Quantum critical point and spin fluctuations in lower-mantle ferropericlase SO PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA LA English DT Article DE diamond anvil cell; synchrotron radiation; Mott insulator; spin crossover ID EARTHS LOWER MANTLE; HIGH-PRESSURE; TRANSITION; IRON; MAGNESIOWUSTITE; STATE; MOSSBAUER; MINERALS; PHASE; MGO AB Ferropericlase [(Mg,Fe)O] is one of the most abundant minerals of the earth's lower mantle. The high-spin (HS) to low-spin (LS) transition in the Fe2+ ions may dramatically alter the physical and chemical properties of (Mg,Fe) O in the deep mantle. To understand the effects of compression on the ground electronic state of iron, electronic and magnetic states of Fe2+ in (Mg0.75Fe0.25)O have been investigated using transmission and synchrotron Mossbauer spectroscopy at high pressures and low temperatures (down to 5 K). Our results show that the ground electronic state of Fe2+ at the critical pressure P-c of the spin transition close to T = 0 is governed by a quantum critical point (T = 0, P = P-c) at which the energy required for the fluctuation between HS and LS states is zero. Analysis of the data gives P-c = 55 GPa. Thermal excitation within the HS or LS states (T > 0 K) is expected to strongly influence the magnetic as well as physical properties of ferropericlase. Multielectron theoretical calculations show that the existence of the quantum critical point at temperatures approaching zero affects not only physical properties of ferropericlase at low temperatures but also its properties at P-T of the earth's lower mantle.

To meet the world's future food and sustainability needs for biofuels and renewable materials, the production of starch-rich cereals and cellulose-rich bioenergy plants must grow substantially while minimizing agriculture's environmental footprint and conserving biodiversity. Here we demonstrate one-pot enzymatic conversion of pretreated biomass to starch through a nonnatural synthetic enzymatic pathway composed of endoglucanase, cellobiohydrolyase, cellobiose phosphorylase, and alpha-glucan phosphorylase originating from bacterial, fungal, and plant sources. A special polypeptide cap in potato alpha-glucan phosphorylase was essential to push a partially hydrolyzed intermediate of cellulose forward to the synthesis of amylose. Up to 30% of the anhydroglucose units in cellulose were converted to starch; the remaining cellulose was hydrolyzed to glucose suitable for ethanol production by yeast in the same bioreactor. Next-generation biorefineries based on simultaneous enzymatic biotransformation and microbial fermentation could address the food, biofuels, and environment trilemma.

TI Structural basis for angiopoietin-1-mediated signaling initiation SO PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA LA English DT Article DE cellular signaling; Tie receptor tyrosine kinase; X-ray crystallography ID BLOOD-VESSEL FORMATION; RECEPTOR-BINDING; TIE2 RECEPTOR; ANGIOGENESIS; ECTODOMAIN; PATHWAY; AMORE; MODEL AB Angiogenesis is a complex cellular process involving multiple regulatory growth factors and growth factor receptors. Among them, the ligands for the endothelial-specific tunica intima endothelial receptor tyrosine kinase 2 (Tie2) receptor kinase, angiopoietin-1 (Ang1) and Ang2, play essential roles in balancing vessel stability and regression during both developmental and tumor-induced angiogenesis. Despite possessing a high degree of sequence identity, Ang1 and Ang2 have distinct functional roles and cell-signaling characteristics. Here, we present the crystal structures of Ang1 both unbound and in complex with the Tie2 ectodomain. Comparison of the Ang1-containing structures with their Ang2-containing counterparts provide insight into the mechanism of receptor activation and reveal molecular surfaces important for interactions with Tie2 coreceptors and associated signaling proteins. Using structure-based mutagenesis, we identify a loop within the angiopoietin P domain, adjacent to the receptor-binding interface, which confers the specific agonist/antagonist properties of the molecule. We demonstrate using cell-based assays that an Ang2 chimera containing the Ang1 loop sequence behaves functionally similarly to Ang1 as a constitutive Tie2 agonist, able to efficiently dissociate the inhibitory Tie1/Tie2 complex and elicit Tie2 clustering and downstream signaling.

At equilibrium, wormlike micelles can transition from entangled to branched and multiconnected structures with increasing salt concentration. Under certain flow conditions, micellar structural transitions follow different trajectories. In this work, we consider the flow of two semidilute wormlike micellar solutions through microposts, focusing on their microstructural and rheological evolutions. Both solutions contain cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and sodium salicylate. One is weakly viscoelastic and shear thickening, whereas the other is strongly viscoelastic and shear thinning. When subjected to strain rates of similar to 10(3) s(-1) and strains of similar to 10(3), we observe the formation of a stable flow-induced structured phase (FISP), with entangled, branched, and multiconnected micellar bundles, as evidenced by electron microscopy. The high stretching and flow alignment in the microposts enhance the flexibility and lower the bending modulus of the wormlike micelles. As flexible micelles flow through the microposts, it becomes energetically favorable to minimize the number of end caps while concurrently promoting the formation of cross-links. The presence of spatial confinement and extensional flow also enhances entropic fluctuations, lowering the energy barrier between states, thus increasing transition frequencies between states and enabling FISP formation. Whereas the rheological properties (zero-shear viscosity, plateau modulus, and stress relaxation time) of the shear-thickening precursor are smaller than those of the FISP, those of the shear-thinning precursor are several times larger than those of the FISP. This rheological property variation stems from differences in the structural evolution from the precursor to the FISP.

Using large-scale exact diagonalization of the three-orbital Hubbard model, we observe the effect of strong correlations manifesting in a dynamical spectral weight transfer from the upper Hubbard band to the ZRS band. The quantitative agreement between theory and experiment highlights an additional spectral weight reshuffling due to core-hole interaction. Our results confirm the important correlated nature of the cuprates and elucidate the changing orbital character of the low-energy quasiparticles, but also demonstrate the continued relevance of the ZRS even in the overdoped region.

A Jahn-Teller structure transition occurs for x = 0, 0.06, and 0.15 samples, and the transition temperature is reduced upon vanadium substitution from 70(2) K at x = 0 to 60(2) K at x = 0.06 and 0.15. The structure becomes less distorted as x increases, and such transition disappears at x = 0.53. The observed magnetic excitation spectrum indicates that the singlet ground state remains unaltered and spin-gap energy Delta = 1.3(1) meV is identical within the instrument resolution for all x. In addition, the dispersion bandwidth W decreases with increase of x. At x = 0.53, W is reduced to 1.4(1) meV from 2.0(1) meV at x = 0.

TI Tuning the electronic properties of ultrathin La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 films by interfacing with superconducting EuBa2Cu3O7-delta SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID TEMPERATURE; MANGANITE; TRANSITION; LAYERS; OXIDE AB Interfaces between transition-metal oxides provide an intriguing platform for modifying the ground states of single constituent materials and creating desired functionalities for applications in oxide-based electronics. Here, we demonstrate that the metallic and ferromagnetic responses of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 (LSMO) films with thicknesses less than 4 nm, which are insulating when grown directly on SrTiO3 substrates, can be restored through interfacing with a high-temperature cuprate superconductor EuBa2Cu3O7-delta (EBCO). We carried out scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy measurements on the electronic structure of LSMO/EBCO bilayers with thickness of LSMO layer varying from 2 to 7 nm. Our results suggest that the transfer of holes from EBCO to LSMO, caused by the difference in their work functions, is responsible for driving LSMO film with thickness of only five unit cells to the metallic state.

TI Two-dimensional magnetic interactions in LaFeAsO SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID SUPERCONDUCTIVITY; LA2CUO4; PURE AB Inelastic neutron scattering measurements demonstrate that the magnetic interactions in antiferromagnetic LaFeAsO are two dimensional. Spin-wave velocities within the Fe layer and the magnitude of the spin gap are similar to the AFe(2)As(2) based materials. However, the ratio of interlayer and intralayer exchange is found to be less than similar to 10(-4) in LaFeAsO, very similar to the cuprates, and similar to 100 times smaller than that found in AFe(2)As(2) compounds. The results suggest that the effective dimensionality of the magnetic system is highly variable in the parent compounds of the iron arsenides and weak three-dimensional interactions may limit the maximum attainable superconducting T-c.

It has separate but interacting itinerant and localized degrees of freedom, originating from the d(xz) and d(yz) and from the d(xy) iron orbitals, respectively. At low temperatures, below a mean-field phase transition, these different states condense together in an excitonic order parameter. We show that, at even lower temperatures, after another phase transition, this ordered state can spontaneously break the C-4 lattice symmetry and become nematic. We propose this mechanism as an explanation of the tendency towards nematicity observed in several iron-based compounds. C1 [Stanev, Valentin] Argonne Natl Lab, Div Mat Sci, Argonne, IL 60439 USA.

TI High-spin study of the shell model nucleus Y-88(49) SO PHYSICAL REVIEW C LA English DT Article ID MULTIPLETS AB The near-yrast structure of the near-magic, odd-odd nucleus, Y-88(39)49, has been studied into the high-spin regime. Investigations were performed at the Wright Nuclear Structure Laboratory, Yale University, using the Ge-74(O-18, p3n) and Ge-76(O-18, p5n) fusion-evaporation reactions at beam energies of 60 and 90 MeV, respectively. Gamma-ray energy coincidence analyses using both double (gamma(2)) and triple (gamma(3)) fold coincidences, together with angular correlation measurements, have been used to extend the previously reported level scheme to an excitation energy of 8.6 MeV and a spin and parity of 19((-)). The presented level scheme is compared with predictions of a truncated valence space shell-model calculation, which assumes an inert Ni-56 core with proton and neutron excitations allowed within the f(5/2), p(3/2), p(1/2), and g(9/2) single-particle states. The shell-model calculations show a reasonable comparison with the experimental data for the yrast, positive-parity states up to spin 18 (h) over bar, with larger variations evident for negative-parity states with spins greater than 16 (h) over bar. In spite of a significant increase in angular momentum input associated with the thin target Ge-76(O-18, p5n) reaction channel, as compared to the backed target data using the Ge-74 target, no additional discrete states were identified in the former data set, suggesting that the level scheme for this nucleus fragments significantly above the observed states, possibly indicating cross-shell excitations becoming dominant for I > 19 (h) over bar.

We report herein the highest resolution depiction of adsorbed protein films, greatly improving on the precision of previous neutron reflectivity (NR) results and previous IXRR studies. We were able to perform complete scans in 5 min or less with the maximum momentum transfer of at least 0.52 angstrom(-1), allowing for some time-resolved information about the evolution of the protein film structure. The three smallest proteins (lysozyme, cytochrome c, and myoglobin) were seen to deposit as fully hydrated, nondenatured molecules onto hydrophilic surfaces, with indications of particular preferential orientations. Time evolution was observed for both lysozyme and myoglobin films. The larger proteins were not observed to deposit on the hydrophilic substrates, perhaps because of contrast limitations. On hydrophobic surfaces, all proteins were seen to denature extensively in a qualitatively similar way but with a rough trend that the larger proteins resulted in lower coverage. We have generated high-resolution electron density profiles of these denatured films, including capturing the growth of a lysozyme film. Because the solution interface of these denatured films is diffuse, IXRR cannot unambiguously determine the film extent and coverage, a drawback compared to NR. X-ray radiation damage was systematically evaluated, including the controlled exposure of protein films to high-intensity X-rays and exposure of the hydrophobic surface to X-rays before adsorption. Our analysis showed that standard measuring procedures used for XRR studies may lead to altered protein films; therefore, we used modified procedures to limit the influence of X-ray damage.

TI Lipid Membrane Domains for the Selective Adsorption and Surface Patterning of Conjugated Polyelectrolytes SO LANGMUIR LA English DT Article ID SEQUENTIALLY ADSORBED MULTILAYERS; OPTICAL-PROPERTIES; GENE DELIVERY; BILAYERS; POLYMER; COMPLEXATION; CURVATURE; PH; THERMODYNAMICS; RECOGNITION AB Conjugated polyelectrolytes (CPEs) are promising materials for generating optoelectronics devices under environmentally friendly processing conditions, but challenges remain to develop methods to define lateral features for improved junction interfaces and direct optoelectronic pathways. We describe here the potential to use a bottom-up approach that employs self-assembly in lipid membranes to form structures to template the selective adsorption of CPEs. Phase separation of gel phase anionic lipids and fluid phase phosphocholine lipids allowed the formation of negatively charged domain assemblies that selectively adsorb a cationic conjugated polyelectrolyte (P2). Spectroscopic studies found the adsorption of P2 to negatively charged membranes resulted in minimal structural change of the solution phase polymer but yielded an enhancement in fluorescence intensity (similar to 50%) due to loss of quenching pathways. Fluorescence microscopy, dynamic light scattering, and AFM imaging were used to characterize the polymer membrane interaction and the polymer-bound domain structures of the biphasic membranes. In addition to randomly formed circular gel phase domains, we also show that predefined features, such as straight lines, can be directed to form upon etched patterns on the substrate, thus providing potential routes toward the self-organization of optoelectronic architectures.

TI Vortex phase separation in mesoscopic superconductors SO SCIENTIFIC REPORTS LA English DT Article ID HIGH-TEMPERATURE SUPERCONDUCTORS; BOSON LOCALIZATION; COLUMNAR DEFECTS; CRYSTALS AB We demonstrate that in mesoscopic type II superconductors with the lateral size commensurate with London penetration depth, the ground state of vortices pinned by homogeneously distributed columnar defects can form a hierarchical nested domain structure. Each domain is characterized by an average number of vortices trapped at a single pinning site within a given domain. Our study marks a radical departure from the current understanding of the ground state in disordered macroscopic systems and provides an insight into the interplay between disorder, vortex-vortex interaction, and confinement within finite system size. The observed vortex phase segregation implies the existence of the soliton solution for the vortex density in the finite superconductors and establishes a new class of nonlinear systems that exhibit the soliton phenomenon.

Compared with both NO2 and NO, the adsorption of ammonia is much stronger on the Cu-SSZ-13 zeolite. Two adsorbed ammonia species were found over the Cu-SSZ-13 zeolite studied here, notably ammonia on Bronsted acid sites (proton) and ammonia on Lewis acid sites (copper ions). These adsorbed ammonia species present different activity profiles and selectivity to N-2 during NH3 oxidation. The results obtained suggest that ammonia adsorbed onto copper ions in Cu-SSZ-13 is more active at low temperatures than proton-adsorbed NH3, and give rise to a higher selectivity to N-2. The formation of N2O is associated primarily with the reaction of NOx with proton-adsorbed NH3 via the formation and subsequent thermal decomposition of NH4NO3. Published by Elsevier B.V.

The first catalyst, Au/CeO2-FeOx/Al2O3, was prepared using a commercial alumina support in order to obtain a Ce-Fe oxide solid solution and in the second one, Au/FeOx/CeO2-Al2O3, an iron oxide monolayer was deposited onto a ceria-alumina commercial support to promote its redox properties. Catalytic activities in the WGS were remarkably different for both systems. The catalytic activity of the Au/CeO2-FeOx/Al2O3 catalyst was higher than the one shown by the Au/FeOx/CeO2-Al2O3 catalyst that resulted active at much higher temperatures. In situ XRD demonstrates the formation of magnetite (Fe3O4) during the WGS reaction and the presence of big gold particles, ca. 21 nm in diameter, in the low-activity system. This in contrast to the high-activity system that shows undetectable gold nanoparticles and the absence of diffraction peaks corresponding to magnetite during the WGS. The data obtained using in situ XANES states that Ce4+ species undergo reduction to Ce3+ during the WGS for both catalysts, and also confirms that in the high-activity catalyst iron is just present as Fe3+ species while in the low-activity catalyst Fe3+ and Fe2+ coexist, resulting in iron spinel observed by XRD. These results allow us conclude that the Au/CeO2-Fe2O3/Al2O3 catalyst is a suitable catalyst for WGS when avoiding the formation of magnetite, in such a case Fe3+ species favors reduction and water splitting increasing the catalytic activity in the WGS reaction.

The major peak intensity ratios were compared to gain quantitative information about the extent of polymerization in various solvents. The reaction rate of the polymerization has been found to significantly decrease with increasing concentrations of ethanol or butanol (n-butanol and iso-butanol). Compared to ethanol, longer or branched chain alcohols such as n-butanol and iso-butanol can marginally reduce the acid-catalyzed polymerization at room temperature. The plot of reciprocal intensity of the characteristic Raman band of FA vs. the reaction time suggests that the polymerization reactions follow second-order kinetics. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.

A thorough analysis of SAXS data reveals the most important phenomena occurring during crystallization and unravels the effect of the solvent. NH2-MIL-53(Al) growth follows two routes: (i) through direct hydrolysis of AlCl3 center dot 6H(2)O in water, and (ii) via the intermediate NH2-MOF-235(Al), which forms in pure DMF or DMF/H2O mixtures. In the case of pure H2O as solvent, formation of NH2-MIL-53(Al) crystals proceeds through steady growth in all three dimensions. The addition of DMF to the synthesis mixture results in amorphous scattering entities forming very rapidly and subsequently arranging into the intermediate phase, NH2-MOF-235(Al). In DMF/H2O mixtures, amorphous precursors develop in rapid fashion with fractal character dominating, followed by densification, crystallization of NH2-MOF-235(Al) and slow transformation into NH2-MIL-53(Al). Formation of NH2-MIL-101(Al) only occurs when pure DMF is used as solvent, and it always proceeds through the formation of the intermediate NH2-MOF-235(Al). In this case a smooth scatterer surface is observed, with morphology and size constant in time. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

In situ X-ray measurements in this energy range can be complicated due to absorption by cell components, the reaction gases themselves, air surrounding the reaction cell, and a host of other reasons. As a proof of concept, bimetallic palladium catalysts were examined from the Pd L-II and L-III edges, at approximately 3.2 keV. The XANES edge position, the height of the "white line" peak, and the shape of the peak display significant changes with alloy formation and CO adsorption. This in turn shows that the Pd L-edge XANES are very sensitive to changes in the d-band density-of-states and can be used to derive rich information about how a supported Pd, or other 4d transition metal catalyst, behaves when under reaction conditions or upon alloy formation.

The resulting program, named VinaLC, was tested on the petascale high performance computing (HPC) machines at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. To exploit the typical cluster-type supercomputers, thousands of docking calculations were dispatched by the master process to run simultaneously on thousands of slave processes, where each docking calculation takes one slave process on one node, and within the node each docking calculation runs via multithreading on multiple CPU cores and shared memory. Input and output of the program and the data handling within the program were carefully designed to deal with large databases and ultimately achieve HPC on a large number of CPU cores. Parallel performance analysis of the VinaLC program shows that the code scales up to more than 15K CPUs with a very low overhead cost of 3.94%. One million flexible compound docking calculations took only 1.4 h to finish on about 15K CPUs. The docking accuracy of VinaLC has been validated against the DUD data set by the re-docking of X-ray ligands and an enrichment study, 64.4% of the top scoring poses have RMSD values under 2.0 angstrom. The program has been demonstrated to have good enrichment performance on 70% of the targets in the DUD data set. An analysis of the enrichment factors calculated at various percentages of the screening database indicates VinaLC has very good early recovery of actives. (c) 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

TI Surface Atom Motion to Move Iron Nanocrystals through Constrictions in Carbon Nanotubes under the Action of an Electric Current SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article ID MASS-TRANSPORT; ELECTROMIGRATION; SIMULATION; METALS AB Under the application of electrical currents, metal nanocrystals inside carbon nanotubes can be bodily transported. We examine experimentally and theoretically how an iron nanocrystal can pass through a constriction in the carbon nanotube with a smaller cross-sectional area than the nanocrystal itself. Remarkably, through in situ transmission electron imaging and diffraction, we find that, while passing through a constriction, the nanocrystal remains largely solid and crystalline and the carbon nanotube is unaffected. We account for this behavior by a pattern of iron atom motion and rearrangement on the surface of the nanocrystal. The nanocrystal motion can be described with a model whose parameters are nearly independent of the nanocrystal length, area, temperature, and electromigration force magnitude. We predict that metal nanocrystals can move through complex geometries and constrictions, with implications for both nanomechanics and tunable synthesis of metal nanoparticles.

Direct imaging is applied to intuitively prove this broadband transparency phenomenon of structured metals. The transparency is insensitive to the grating thickness due to the non-resonance mechanism, and the optimal tilt angle is determined only by the strip width and the grating period. The oblique metal gratings with broadband transparence may have many potential applications, such as transparent conducting panels, white-beam polarizers, and stealth objects. (C) 2013 Author(s).

By depositing a low temperature nucleation layer to serve as a template for high temperature epitaxial film growth, a high quality terrace-step surface morphology with a significant reduction in three-dimensional defect structures was achieved. X-ray diffraction measurements indicate that high crystalline quality Bi2Te3 layers were grown incoherently by van der Waals epitaxy using this technique. Angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements verified the integrity of this growth method by confirming the presence of metallic surface states on cleaved two-step Bi2Te3 samples.

The resistivity plots and especially the thermoelectric power data confirm that codoping is not a simple sum of single element doping. However, the negative sign of the Seebeck coefficient indicates electron dominated transport independent of doping. The narrowing distinction among the effects of different doping methods combined with increasing resistivity of the films with improving crystalline quality of TiO2 suggest that structural defects play a critical role in the doping process.

TI Spectrally and time resolved photoluminescence analysis of the CdS/CdTe interface in thin-film photovoltaic solar cells SO APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS LA English DT Article ID BAND-EDGE PHOTOLUMINESCENCE; CDTE; TEMPERATURE; LIFETIME AB Light absorption and charge separation in thin-film polycrystalline cadmium telluride (CdTe) photovoltaic (PV) solar cells largely occur in the vicinity of the CdS/CdTe interface. Sulfur alloying at this interface to form CdSxTe1-x and doping with Cu appear to be important for efficient PV devices. Based on the different band gaps of CdSxTe1-x and CdTe, we apply spectroscopic and computational photoluminescence (PL) analysis to characterize this interface. We find that Cu concentration changes the dynamics of charge separation and PL emission intensities from the CdSxTe1-x and CdTe regions. We have determined charge separation lifetime and minority carrier lifetime, and we have estimated minority carrier mobility as <100 cm(2) V-1 s(-1). (C) 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.

Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) in an aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscope was used to quantify chemical composition across the interface of ferromagnetic La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 and antiferromagnetic BiFeO3 quantum structure. This research demonstrates that chemical composition at atomic columns can be quantified by Gaussian peak-fitting of EDS compositional profiles across the interface. Cation diffusion was observed at both A- and B-sublattice sites; and asymmetric chemical profiles exist across the interface, consistent with the previous studies. (C) 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.

The technique is applied to the crystallization of phase change materials used for optical and resistive memory. For those applications, laser-or current-induced crystallization is orders of magnitude too fast to capture with other imaging techniques. We recorded movies of laser-induced crystallization and measured crystal growth rates at temperatures close to where the maximum growth rate occurs. This paves the way for studying crystallization kinetics of phase change materials over the whole range of technologically relevant temperatures. (C) 2013 AIP Publishing LLC. C1 [Santala, M.

We use the concept of the dipole tensor to estimate the changes in the kinetic barriers that comprise the catalog, thereby obviating the need for recomputing them from scratch. The underlying assumptions in the method are that linear elasticity is valid, and that the topology of the underlying potential energy surface (and consequently, the fundamental structure of the rate catalog) is not changed by the strain field. As a simple test case, we apply the method to a single vacancy in zirconium diffusing in the strain field of a dislocation, and discuss the consequences of the assumptions on simulating more complex materials.

TI Measurement of the reaction O-18(alpha, n)Ne-21 SO PHYSICAL REVIEW C LA English DT Article ID THERMONUCLEAR REACTION-RATES; YIELD AB Background: The reaction O-18(alpha, n)Ne-21 is a part of the reaction chains leading to the production of F-19 and Ne-22 during He burning in low-mass and massive AGB stars, respectively. Additionally, it has been observed as a strong background source in the measurement of other (alpha, n) reactions. Purpose: Previously low-energy O-18(alpha, n)Ne-21 cross section data have only been available in a non-peer-reviewed form. An improved measurement of this reaction has been done to both clarify its astrophysical influence as well as to provide background yield data for future (alpha, n) experiments. Method: The O-18(alpha, n((0+1))) reaction has been measured with a moderating neutron detector. In addition the (alpha, n(1)gamma) channel has been measured independently by observation of the characteristic 350.7 keV gamma transition in Ne-21. The reaction cross section at energies above E-alpha = 1100 keV was determined by a simultaneous R-matrix fit to both channels. The strengths of the two lowest-energy resonances at E-alpha = 959 keV and E-alpha = 1066 keV were analyzed separately using individual Breit-Wigner fits. Results: The cross section of both reaction channels, O-18(alpha, n(0))Ne-21 and O-18(alpha, n(1)gamma)Ne-21, was determined from the threshold energies at 851 keV and 1280 keV, respectively, to 2300 keV. A new reaction rate has been deduced for the temperature range of 0.1 GK to 10 GK. A previously reported resonance at E-alpha = 888 keV is explained as background from the contaminant reaction O-17(alpha, n)Ne-20. Conclusions: In general, our reaction rate is slightly lower than the reaction rates in recent compilations. At temperatures below 0.2 GK the present rate is significantly lower because it could be shown that the lowest reported resonance is background from the reaction O-17(alpha, n)Ne-20 that has been wrongly assigned to O-18(alpha, n)Ne-21.

TI Shape coexistence in neutron-rich nuclei near N=40 SO PHYSICAL REVIEW C LA English DT Article ID ISOTOPES; STATES; BANDS AB Recent data show that both the 2(+) and 4(+) levels in the even neutron-rich Cr and Fe isotopes decrease in excitation energy toward N = 40. This observation, along with Coulomb excitation and lifetime data, strongly indicates an increase in collectivity near N = 40 in contradiction with expectations based on first principles. A straightforward two-band mixing model is used to investigate the structure of these neutron-rich Cr and Fe nuclei. The approach takes advantage of the extensive data available for Fe-60 to provide the parameter values with which to reproduce the experimental observations in the Cr58-64 and Fe60-68 isotopic chains. Comparisons between the model and the data suggest marked structural differences for the ground-state configurations of N = 40 Cr and Fe. C1 [Carpenter, M. P.; Janssens, R. V.

TI Low-spin states in Kr-86 from the (n, n ') reaction SO PHYSICAL REVIEW C LA English DT Article ID SHELL-MODEL CALCULATIONS; CROSS-SECTION RATIOS; INELASTIC-SCATTERING; NEUTRON; EXCITATIONS; ENERGY; FISSION; NUCLEI AB Background: Kr-86(50) is a neutron-rich nucleus amenable to shell-model calculations due to the shell closure at N = 50. It is also produced as a fragment in the fissioning of actinides. Purpose: The level structure of Kr-86 at low excitation energies needs additional investigation for detailed comparison with calculations from theoretical models. By determining the cross sections for transitions that feed directly the ground state of Kr-86, a large fraction of the total cross section for the Kr-86(n, n') Kr-86 reaction channel can be obtained. Methods: Low-spin states of Kr-86 were populated in the Kr-86(n, n'.) reaction and were studied with the Germanium Array for Neutron-Induced Excitations (GEANIE) spectrometer. The broad-spectrum pulsed neutron beam of the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center's (LANSCE) WNR facility provided neutrons in the energy range from 1 to above 600 MeV. The time-of-flight technique was used to determine the incident-neutron energies. Results: Partial gamma-ray cross sections were measured for 21 gamma rays of Kr-86 and for neutron energies 1 MeV < E-n < 20 MeV. A large part of the total cross section for the Kr-86(n, n')Kr-86 reaction is observed. Ten new transitions are observed and placed on the level scheme at excitation energies below 3.7 MeV, doubling the number of placed transitions up to this excitation energy. These transitions de-excite five previously known levels, among them the second and third 0(+) states, and one new level. The excitation energy of these levels was more accurately determined and the relative intensities of their decay paths were measured. All previously known levels up to 3.7-MeV excitation energy were identified, and the new level was added at 2917-keV excitation energy. Predictions from shell-model calculations are compared with the data. C1 [Fotiades, N.; Devlin, M.; Nelson, R. O.] Los Alamos Natl Lab, Los Alamos, NM 87545 USA.

It is found that the nucleation field can be tuned by changing the geometry of the wire ends. A reduction of the nucleation field by up to 60% is achieved when the wire ends are designed as tips. This contrasts with the behavior of wires with in-plane anisotropy where the nucleation field increases when triangular-pointed ends are used. In order to clarify the origin of the reduction of the nucleation field, micromagnetic simulations are employed. The effect cannot be explained by the lateral geometrical variation but is attributable to a local reduction of the perpendicular anisotropy caused by shadowing effects due to the resist mask during sputter deposition of the multilayer.

Our results show that for doping of 0.04 holes per unit cell (1.5 x 10(20) cm(-3)) PtSb2 shows a high Seebeck coefficient at room temperature, which can also be achieved at other temperatures by controlling the carrier concentration (both electron and hole). The electrical conductivity becomes temperature independent when the doping exceeds some 0.2 electrons/holes per unit cell. The figure of merit at 800 K in electron and hole doped PtSb2 is comparatively low at 0.13 and 0.21, respectively, but may increase significantly with As alloying due to the likely opening of a band gap and reduction of the lattice thermal conductivity.

TI Coherent neutron scattering and collective dynamics on mesoscale SO JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID LIQUID-GLASS TRANSITION; SUPERCOOLED LIQUIDS; ALPHA-RELAXATION; HARD-SPHERE; SPIN-ECHO; DIFFUSION; HETEROGENEITY; SUSPENSIONS AB By combining, and modestly extending, a variety of theoretical concepts for the dynamics of liquids in the supercooled regime, we formulate a simple analytic model for the temperature and wavevector dependent collective density fluctuation relaxation time that is measurable using coherent dynamic neutron scattering. Comparison with experiments on the ionic glass-forming liquid Ca-K-NO3 in the lightly supercooled regime suggests the model captures the key physics in both the local cage and mesoscopic regimes, including the unusual wavevector dependence of the collective structural relaxation time. The model is consistent with the idea that the decoupling between diffusion and viscosity is reflected in a different temperature dependence of the collective relaxation time at intermediate wavevectors and near the main (cage) peak of the static structure factor. More generally, our analysis provides support for the ideas that decoupling information and growing dynamic length scales can be at least qualitatively deduced by analyzing the collective relaxation time as a function of temperature and wavevector, and that there is a strong link between dynamic heterogeneity phenomena at the single and many particle level. Though very simple, the model can be applied to other systems, such as molecular liquids. (C) 2013 AIP Publishing LLC. C1 [Novikov, V. N.; Sokolov, A.

Phys. 91, 1107 (1997)]. A time-independent quantum mechanical method based on hyperspherical coordinates is adopted for the dynamics calculations. Energy dependent cross section, probability, and rate coefficients are computed for the elastic, inelastic, and reactive channels over collision energies ranging from the ultracold to thermal regimes and for total angular momentum quantum number J = 0. The effect of initial vibrational excitation of the H-2 molecule on vibrational and rotational populations of the OH product is investigated as a function of the collision energy. Comparison of results for vibrational levels v = 0 - 2 of H-2 demonstrates that the vibrational excitation of H-2 and its non-reactive relaxation pathway play a minor role in the overall collisional outcome of O(D-1) and H-2. It is also found that while the state-resolved product vibrational distributions are sensitive to the initial collision energy and H-2 vibrational level, the product rotational distribution depicts an inverted population that is largely insensitive to initial conditions. Rate coefficients evaluated using a J-shifting approximation show reasonable agreement with available theoretical and experimental results suggesting that the J-shifting approximation may be used to evaluate the rate coefficients for O(D-1) + H-2 reaction.

TI Creation, destruction, and transfer of atomic multipole moments by electron scattering: Liouville-space formulation SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICS B-ATOMIC MOLECULAR AND OPTICAL PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID RELAXATION; OPERATOR; PHASE AB In previous works, expressions for the atomic multipole moment cross sections were derived from a traditional collision approach. In the present work, we have derived the fundamental formula (see equation (35)) from which all of the atomic multipole moment cross sections can be obtained by using Liouville-space methods introduced by Fano (1963 Phys. Rev. 131 259). This simple, elegant formula is an expression for the multipole cross sections in terms of the Liouville-space transition operator (sometimes referred to as the tetradic transition matrix or the transition superoperator). The transition superoperator, in turn, can be expressed in terms of the traditional quantum mechanical transition operators via a formula which is sometimes referred to as 'Fano's convolution formula'. Upon application of this formula to our Liouville-space expression for the multipole cross sections, the resulting cross section formulae are identical to those obtained in previous works. Establishing this connection with the Liouville-space formalism allows us to apply powerful group theoretical techniques in order to obtain expressions of practical interest. As a specific example, we consider the transition rate for the final-state multipole moment which can be obtained via the use of a 'connecting factor' from the initial values of the multipole moments. The 'connecting factor', in turn, is expressed in this work as a Liouville-space matrix element of the tetradic transition matrix. Based on this expression and the symmetry properties of the electron-atom collisional system, certain symmetry relations are obtained for the 'connecting factors'. Since these factors are proportional to the multipole cross sections, corresponding relations are also obtained for those cross sections, which results in a reduction in the number of values that needs to be calculated for plasma modelling applications. An additional corollary of practical importance is that, in the case of cylindrically symmetric plasmas, the same symmetry relations also hold for the multipole rate coefficients. We provide an explicit derivation of this new, important result. C1 [Csanak, G.; Kilcrease, D. P.] Los Alamos Natl Lab, Div Theoret, Los Alamos, NM 87545 USA. [Fontes, C.

TI Ne IX line G-ratio in a non-Maxwellian and anisotropic plasma SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICS B-ATOMIC MOLECULAR AND OPTICAL PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID HELIUM-LIKE IONS; ELECTRON-IMPACT EXCITATION; DIELECTRONIC SATELLITE SPECTRA; HEATED TOKAMAK PLASMAS; FLEXIBLE ATOMIC CODE; HE-LIKE IONS; ENERGY-DISTRIBUTIONS; DENSITY DIAGNOSTICS; RATE COEFFICIENTS; ACTIVE REGIONS AB We have theoretically studied how the presence of a small proportion of energetic beam electrons mixed to a bulk of Maxwellian electrons in a hot plasma affects the temperature-dependent intensity ratio G = (x + y + z)/omega of the helium-like triplet intercombination (x, y) and forbidden (z) lines to the singlet resonance line (omega). By modelling the electron distribution function as a combination of a Maxwellian isotropic component and a monoenergetic beam component, detailed calculations of the G ratio of the Ne8+ lines have been performed for temperatures T-e of the Maxwellian component and kinetic energies e(0) of the beam component in the ranges 10(6)-10(7) K and 1.5-25 keV, respectively. A magnetic sublevel-to-magnetic sublevel collisional-radiative model has been used for determining the populations of the upper magnetic sublevels of the four lines at an electron density below 10(13) cm(-3). Excitations from the ground 1s(2) S-1(0) and metastable 1s2s S-3(1) magnetic sublevels to the 1snl (n=2-4) magnetic sublevels as well as the inner-shell ionization of the lithium-like ion in its ground level were taken into account. All basic atomic data, including the radiative transition probabilities and the collisional excitation and ionization cross sections, were computed using the flexible atomic code. It is found that the contribution of a 5% fraction of the beam component can reduce the G ratio by a factor of 30 at T-e = 10(6) K and of 2.4 at T-e = 3 x 10(6) K. Our calculations also indicate that the effect of directionality of the beam component on G is negligible for e(0) above similar to 10 keV and that for a given T-e, G is practically insensitive to variations in e(0) above similar to 7 keV.

We show that when assuming realistic values for the mass accommodation coefficient, experimentally observed SOA evaporation rates imply significantly lower "effective volatility" than those derived from SOA growth in smog chambers, pointing to the role of condensed phase processes and suggesting that models need to use different parameters to describe the formation and evolution of SOA. We develop a new, experimentally driven paradigm to represent SOA as a non-absorbing semi-solid with very low "effective volatility." We modify both a box model and a 3D chemical transport model, to include simplified parameterizations capturing the first-order effects of gas-phase fragmentation reactions and investigate the implications of treating SOA as a non-volatile, non-absorbing semi-solid (NVSOA). Box model simulations predict SOA loadings decrease with increasing fragmentation, and similar SOA loadings are calculated in the traditional, semi-volatile (SVSOA) approach and with the new paradigm (NVSOA) before evaporation reduces loadings of SVSOA. Box-model-calculated O:C ratios increase with aging in both the SVSOA and the NVSOA paradigms. Consistent with box model results, 3D model simulations demonstrate that predicted SOA loadings decrease with the addition of fragmentation reactions. The NVSOA paradigm predicts higher SOA loadings compared to the SVSOA paradigm over nearly the entire 3D modeling domain, with larger differences close to the surface and in regions where higher dilution favors SVSOA evaporation.

High-resolution, solution-state 2D H-1-C-13 HSQC NMR spectroscopy has proven to be an effective tool for rapid and reproducible fingerprinting of the numerous polysaccharides and lignin components in unfractionated plant cell wall materials, and is therefore a powerful tool for cell wall profiling based on our ability to simultaneously identify and comparatively quantify numerous components within spectra generated in a relatively short time. However, assigning peaks in new spectra, integrating them to provide relative component distributions, and producing color-assigned spectra, are all current bottlenecks to the routine use of such NMR profiling methods. Results: We have assembled a high-throughput software platform for plant cell wall profiling that uses spectral deconvolution by Fast Maximum Likelihood Reconstruction (FMLR) to construct a mathematical model of the signals present in a set of related NMR spectra. Combined with a simple region of interest (ROI) table that maps spectral regions to NMR chemical shift assignments of chemical entities, the reconstructions can provide rapid and reproducible fingerprinting of numerous polysaccharide and lignin components in unfractionated cell wall material, including derivation of lignin monomer unit (S: G: H) ratios or the so-called SGH profile. Evidence is presented that ROI-based amplitudes derived from FMLR provide a robust feature set for subsequent multivariate analysis. The utility of this approach is demonstrated on a large transgenic study of Arabidopsis requiring concerted analysis of 91 ROIs (including both assigned and unassigned regions) in the lignin and polysaccharide regions of almost 100 related 2D H-1-C-13 HSQC spectra. Conclusions: We show that when a suitable number of replicates are obtained per sample group, the correlated patterns of enriched and depleted cell wall components can be reliably and objectively detected even prior to multivariate analysis. The analysis methodology has been implemented in a publicly-available, cross-platform (Windows/Mac/Linux), web-enabled software application that enables researchers to view and publish detailed annotated spectra in addition to summary reports in simple spreadsheet data formats. The analysis methodology is not limited to studies of plant cell walls but is amenable to any NMR study where ROI segmentation techniques generate meaningful results.

AxlA of Aspergillus niger is a secreted alpha-xylosidase that was earlier shown to promote the release of free glucose (Glc) and xylose (Xyl) from substrates containing alpha-linked xylose, including isoprimeverose (IP), the heptasaccharide subunit of pea xyloglucan (XG), and tamarind XG. Results: The utility of AxlA for enhancing release of free Glc and Xyl in combination with commercial enzyme cocktails from dicotyledonous and monocotyledonous plants was examined. Without AxlA supplementation, a mixture of CTec2 and HTec2 (both of which are derived from T. reesei) did not release significant levels of Glc from pea XG or tamarind XG. This is consistent with their lack of detectable alpha-xylosidase activity using model substrates. On alkaline hydrogen peroxide-pretreated corn stover, supplementation of CTec2/HTec2 (at a loading of 2.5 mg/g glucan) with AxlA (at a loading of 8 mg/g glucan) increased Glc yields from 82% to 88% of the total available Glc and increased Xyl yields from 55% to 60%. AxlA supplementation also improved Glc yields from corn stover treated with the commercial cellulase Accellerase 1000. The AxlA enhancement was not a general protein effect because bovine serum albumin or bovine gamm alpha-globulin at similar concentrations did not enhance Glc yields from corn stover in response to CTec2/HTec2. Supplementation of CTec2/HTec2 with AxlA did not enhance Glc release from pretreated green or etiolated pea tissue. However, AxlA did enhance Glc and Xyl yields compared to CTec2/HTec2 alone from another dicotyledonous herbaceous plant, Chenopodium album (lamb's quarters). Conclusion: Supplementation of commercial cellulase cocktails with AxlA enhances yields of Glc and Xyl from some biomass substrates under some conditions, and may prove useful in industrial lignocellulose conversion.

TI Leptonic-Decay-Constant Ratio fK+/fpi+ from Lattice QCD with Physical Light Quarks SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article ID MODEL AB A calculation of the ratio of leptonic decay constants f(K+) / f(pi+) makes possible a precise determination of the ratio of Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix elements vertical bar V-us vertical bar/vertical bar V-ud vertical bar in the standard model, and places a stringent constraint on the scale of new physics that would lead to deviations from unitarity in the first row of the CKM matrix. We compute f(K+) / f(pi+) numerically in unquenched lattice QCD using gauge-field ensembles recently generated that include four flavors of dynamical quarks: up, down, strange, and charm. We analyze data at four lattice spacings a approximate to 0.06, 0.09, 0.12, and 0.15 fm with simulated pion masses down to the physical value 135 MeV. We obtain f(K+) / f(pi+) 1.1947(26)(37), where the errors are statistical and total systematic, respectively. This is our first physics result from our N-f = 2 + 1 + 1 ensembles, and the first calculation of f(K+) / f(pi+) from lattice-QCD simulations at the physical point. Our result is the most precise lattice-QCD determination of f(K+) / f(pi+), with an error comparable to the current world average. When combined with experimental measurements of the leptonic branching fractions, it leads to a precise determination of vertical bar V-us vertical bar/vertical bar V-ud vertical bar 0.2309(9)(4) where the errors are theoretical and experimental, respectively.

TI An adenovirus vectored mucosal adjuvant augments protection of mice immunized intranasally with an adenovirus-vectored foot-and-mouth disease virus subunit vaccine SO VACCINE LA English DT Article DE Adenovirus; FMDV; Mucosal immunity; E. coli enterotoxin; Adjuvants; Mice ID HEAT-LABILE ENTEROTOXIN; ADP-RIBOSYLTRANSFERASE ACTIVITY; T-CELL RESPONSES; ESCHERICHIA-COLI; PREEXISTING IMMUNITY; INFECTION; DELIVERY; FMDV; PROTEINS; SYSTEM AB Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) is a highly contagious pathogen that causes severe morbidity and economic losses to the livestock industry in many countries. The oral and respiratory mucosae are the main ports of entry of FMDV, so the stimulation of local immunity in these tissues may help prevent initial infection and viral spread. E. coli heat-labile enterotoxin (LT) has been described as one of the few molecules that have adjuvant activity at mucosal surfaces. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of replication-defective adenovirus 5 (Ad5) vectors encoding either of two LT-based mucosal adjuvants, LTB or LTR72. These vectored adjuvants were delivered intranasally to mice concurrent with an Ad5-FMDV vaccine (Ad5-A24) to assess their ability to augment mucosal and systemic humoral immune responses to Ad5-A24 and protection against FMDV. Mice receiving Ad5-A24 plus Ad5-LTR72 had higher levels of mucosal and systemic neutralizing antibodies than those receiving Ad5-A24 alone or Ad5-A24 plus Ad5-LTB. The vaccine plus Ad5-LTR72 group also demonstrated 100% survival after intradermal challenge with a lethal dose of homologous FMDV serotype A24. These results suggest that Ad5-LTR72 could be used as an important tool to enhance mucosal and systemic immunity against FMDV and potentially other pathogens with a common route of entry.

TI Binding of Apolipoprotein E Inhibits the Oligomer Growth of Amyloid-beta Peptide in Solution as Determined by Fluorescence Cross-correlation Spectroscopy SO JOURNAL OF BIOLOGICAL CHEMISTRY LA English DT Article ID FAMILIAL ALZHEIMER-DISEASE; TYPE-4 ALLELE; MOUSE MODEL; APOE; PATHOGENESIS; PATHWAYS; GENOTYPE; ASSOCIATION; EXCITATION; DEPOSITION AB One of the primary neuropathological hallmarks of Alzheimer disease is the presence of extracellular amyloid plaques resulting from the aggregation of amyloid-beta (A beta) peptides. The intrinsic disorder of the A beta peptide drives self-association and progressive reordering of the conformation in solution, and this dynamic distribution of A beta complicates biophysical studies. This property poses a challenge for understanding the interaction of A beta with apolipoprotein E (apoE). ApoE plays a pivotal role in the aggregation and clearance of A beta peptides in the brain, and the epsilon 4 allele of APOE is the most significant known genetic modulator of Alzheimer risk. Understanding the interaction between apoE and A beta will provide insight into the mechanism by which different apoE isoforms determine Alzheimer disease risk. Here we applied alternating laser excitation fluorescence cross-correlation spectroscopy to observe the single molecule interaction of A beta with apoE in the hydrated state. The diffusion time of freely diffusing A beta in the absence of apoE shows significant self-aggregation, whereas in the presence of apoE, binding of the protein results in a more stable complex. These results show that apoE slows down the oligomerization of A beta in solution and provide direct insight into the process by which apoE influences the deposition and clearance of A beta peptides in the brain. Furthermore, by developing an approach to remove signals arising from very large A beta aggregates, we show that real-time single particle observations provide access to information regarding the fraction of apoE bound and the stoichiometry of apoE and A beta in the complex.

Many fungal cellulases function optimally at pH similar to 5, and their activities decrease dramatically at higher or lower pH. To understand the molecular-level implications of pH in cellulase structure, we use a hybrid, solvent-based, constant pH molecular dynamics method combined with pH-based replica exchange to determine the pK(a) values of titratable residues of a glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 6 cellobiohydrolase (Cel6A) and a GH family 7 cellobiohydrolase (Cel7A) from the fungus Hypocrea jecorina. For both enzymes, we demonstrate that a bound substrate significantly affects the pK(a) values of the acid residues at the catalytic center. The calculated pK(a) values of catalytic residues confirm their proposed roles from structural studies and are consistent with the experimentally measured apparent pK(a) values. Additionally, GHs are known to impart a strained pucker conformation in carbohydrate substrates in active sites for catalysis, and results from free energy calculations combined with constant pH molecular dynamics suggest that the correct ring pucker is stable near the optimal pH for both Cel6A and Cel7A. Much longer molecular dynamics simulations of Cel6A and Cel7A with fixed protonation states based on the calculated pK(a) values suggest that pH affects the flexibility of tunnel loops, which likely affects processivity and substrate complexation. Taken together, this work demonstrates several molecular-level effects of pH on GH enzymes important for cellulose turnover in the biosphere and relevant to biomass conversion processes.

TI Fully differential cross section for O8+-impact ionization of Li SO PHYSICAL REVIEW A LA English DT Article ID C6+ SINGLE IONIZATION; IMPACT IONIZATION; HELIUM; ION; COLLISIONS AB We present various differential cross sections for the single ionization of Li by O8+ ions. We use a time-dependent, close-coupling approach to model the evolution of a one-active-electron wave function in the field of the incoming projectile for a range of impact parameters. In addition, a Fourier transform approach is used to extract differential cross sections for a specific projectile momentum transfer value. This scheme allows us to incorporate information about the interaction of the two heavy nuclei [the so-called nuclear-nuclear (NN) interaction] and to assess its influence in the differential cross sections. We find noticeable differences in the shape of the differential cross sections when we include (neglect) the NN interaction. Our single-differential cross-section calculation shows excellent agreement with experimental data. In addition, recent measured double-differential cross sections as a function of electron energy and transverse momentum transfer are reasonably well reproduced by our theoretical calculations.

Rev. B 85, 081101(R) (2012)] we presented an approach to evaluate quasiparticle energies based on the spectral decomposition of the static dielectric matrix. This method does not require the calculation of unoccupied electronic states or the direct diagonalization of large dielectric matrices, and it avoids the use of plasmon-pole models. The numerical accuracy of the approach is controlled by a single parameter, i.e., the number of eigenvectors used in the spectral decomposition of the dielectric matrix. Here we present a comprehensive validation of the method, encompassing calculations of ionization potentials and electron affinities of various molecules and of band gaps for several crystalline and disordered semiconductors. We demonstrate the efficiency of our approach by carrying out GW calculations for systems with several hundred valence electrons. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevB.87.155148 C1 [Pham, T.

Yet the azimuthal anisotropy of jet quenching has not been thoroughly studied in the presence of strong fluctuations in the initial condition. Purpose: We present with full details a systematic quantification of the hard probe azimuthal response to the geometry and fluctuations of the hot QCD matter at both RHIC and LHC. We also examine the hard-soft dihadron correlation arising from the hard and soft sectors' responses to the common fluctuating initial condition. Methods: An even-by-event Monte Carlo simulation is employed. Different geometrical jet-quenching models are tested. The azimuthal anisotropy of jet quenching is extracted and decomposed as harmonic responses (for n = 1-6) to the corresponding harmonics in the initial state. Results: We show that such jet response harmonics are sensitive to the jet quenching models as well as to the initial composition of bulk matter. Their centrality dependence puts a strong constraint on the path-length and medium-density dependence of jet energy loss. The computed hard-soft dihadron correlation shows a strong peak on the near side in RHIC central collisions. The triggered correlation in noncentral collisions is also presented. Conclusions: Only the jet-quenching model with near-T-c enhancement survives the second-harmonic test by the RHIC and LHC. Other harmonics in this model are consistent with the available data. We also demonstrate that the experimentally observed "hard ridge" can be explained in our calculation and that its trigger-azimuthal-angle and associate-p(t) dependence could also be qualitatively understood.

Loshaj, Frasher TI Jet energy loss and fragmentation in heavy ion collisions SO PHYSICAL REVIEW D LA English DT Article ID QUARK CONFINEMENT; SCHWINGER MODEL; QCD AB Recent LHC results indicate a suppression of jet fragmentation functions in Pb-Pb collisions at intermediate values of xi = ln(1/z). This seems to contradict the picture of energy loss based on the induced QCD radiation that is expected to lead to the enhancement of in-medium fragmentation functions. We use an effective 1 + 1 dimensional quasi-Abelian model to describe the dynamical modification of jet fragmentation in the medium. We find that this approach describes the data, and argue that there is no contradiction between the LHC results and the picture of QCD radiation induced by the in-medium scattering of the jet. The physics that underlies the suppression of the in-medium fragmentation function at intermediate values of xi = ln (1/z) is the partial screening of the color charge of the jet by the comoving medium-induced gluon.

The dynamic crossover observed at full hydration is absent at monolayer hydration. The monolayer dynamics are significantly slower than those of water in a fully hydrated pore at ambient temperatures. At low temperatures, the opposite is found to be true. These results underscore the importance of water's tetrahedral hydrogen-bond network in accounting for its low temperature dynamic properties. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevE.87.042312 C1 [Bertrand, C.

TI Stability and energetics of Bursian diodes SO PHYSICAL REVIEW E LA English DT Article ID BOUNDARY ENERGY-FLOW; SPACE-CHARGE; HAMILTONIAN-FORMULATION; ELECTRON-BEAMS; FLUID; DYNAMICS; CURRENTS; PRINCIPLE; SYSTEMS; EMITTER AB We present an analysis of the stability, energy, and torque properties of a model Bursian diode in a one dimensional Eulerian framework using the cold Euler-Poisson fluid equations. In regions of parameter space where there are two sets of equilibrium solutions for the same boundary conditions, one solution is found to be stable and the other unstable to linear perturbations. Following the linearly unstable solutions into the nonlinear regime, we find they relax to the stable equilibrium. A description of this process in terms of kinetic, potential and boundary-flux energies is given, and the relation to a Hamiltonian formulation is commented on. A nonlocal torque integral theorem relating the prescribed boundary data to the average current in the domain is also provided. The results will be useful for numerical verification purposes, and understanding Bursian diodes in general. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevE.87.043114 C1 [Rosin, M.

This method probes the overall protein structure and the electronic structure of the Mn4CaO5 cluster in the oxygen-evolving complex of PS II. XRD data are presented from both the dark state (S-1) and the first illuminated state (S-2) of PS II. Our simultaneous XRD-XES study shows that the PS II crystals are intact during our measurements at the LCLS, not only with respect to the structure of PS II, but also with regard to the electronic structure of the highly radiation-sensitive Mn4CaO5 cluster, opening new directions for future dynamics studies.

Experiments were performed in 20 laboratories from 12 PS-OCs. Each laboratory was supplied with identical aliquots and common reagents and culture protocols. Analyses of these measurements revealed dramatic differences in their mechanics, migration, adhesion, oxygen response, and proteomic profiles. Model-based multi-omics approaches identified key differences between these cells' regulatory networks involved in morphology and survival. These results provide a multifaceted description of cellular parameters of two widely used cell lines and demonstrate the value of the PS-OC Network approach for integration of diverse experimental observations to elucidate the phenotypes associated with cancer metastasis.

Mydosh, John Ono, Shimpei Yazdani, Ali TI Detection of electronic nematicity using scanning tunneling microscopy SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID IRON ARSENIDE SUPERCONDUCTOR; HIDDEN-ORDER; ROTATIONAL SYMMETRY; KONDO-LATTICE; URU2SI2; STM; INTERFERENCE; SYSTEM; TIP; IMAGES AB Electronic nematic phases have been proposed to occur in various correlated electron systems and were recently claimed to have been detected in scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) conductance maps of the pseudogap states of the cuprate high-temperature superconductor Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta (Bi-2212). We investigate the influence of anisotropic STM tip structures on such measurements and establish, with a model calculation, the presence of a tunneling interference effect within an STM junction that induces energy-dependent symmetry-breaking features in the conductance maps. We experimentally confirm this phenomenon on different correlated electron systems, including measurements in the pseudogap state of Bi-2212, showing that the apparent nematic behavior of the imaged crystal lattice is likely not due to nematic order but is related to how a realistic STM tip probes the band structure of a material. We further establish that this interference effect can be used as a sensitive probe of changes in the momentum structure of the sample's quasiparticles as a function of energy.

CA CMS Collaboration TI Measurement of associated production of vector bosons and top quark-antiquark pairs in pp collisions at root s=7 TeV SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article ID DETECTOR; LHC AB The first measurement of vector-boson production associated with a top quark-antiquark pair in proton-proton collisions at root s = 7 TeV is presented. The results are based on a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 fb(-1), recorded by the CMS detector at the LHC in 2011. The measurement is performed in two independent channels through a trilepton analysis of t (t) over barZ events and a same-sign dilepton analysis of t (t) over barV (V = W or Z) events. In the trilepton channel a direct measurement of the t (t) over barZ cross section sigma(t (t) over barZ) = 0.28(-0.11)(+0.14) (stat)(-0.03)(+0.06) (syst) pb is obtained. In the dilepton channel a measurement of the t (t) over barV cross section yields sigma(t (t) over barV) = 0.43(-0.15)(+0.17) (stat)(-0.07)(+0.09) (syst) pb. These measurements have a significance, respectively, of 3.3 and 3.0 standard deviations from the background hypotheses and are compatible, within uncertainties, with the corresponding next-to-leading order predictions of 0.137(-0.016)(+0.012) and 0.306(-0.053)(+0.031) pb.

TI Phylogeny of Bacterial and Archaeal Genomes Using Conserved Genes: Supertrees and Supermatrices SO PLOS ONE LA English DT Article ID SULFATE-REDUCING BACTERIUM; MATRIX REPRESENTATION; SP-NOV.; HORIZONTAL TRANSFER; MAXIMUM-LIKELIHOOD; SPECIES TREES; DATA SETS; EVOLUTION; LIFE; RECONSTRUCTION AB Over 3000 microbial (bacterial and archaeal) genomes have been made publically available to date, providing an unprecedented opportunity to examine evolutionary genomic trends and offering valuable reference data for a variety of other studies such as metagenomics. The utility of these genome sequences is greatly enhanced when we have an understanding of how they are phylogenetically related to each other. Therefore, we here describe our efforts to reconstruct the phylogeny of all available bacterial and archaeal genomes. We identified 24, single-copy, ubiquitous genes suitable for this phylogenetic analysis. We used two approaches to combine the data for the 24 genes. First, we concatenated alignments of all genes into a single alignment from which a Maximum Likelihood (ML) tree was inferred using RAxML. Second, we used a relatively new approach to combining gene data, Bayesian Concordance Analysis (BCA), as implemented in the BUCKy software, in which the results of 24 single-gene phylogenetic analyses are used to generate a "primary concordance'' tree. A comparison of the concatenated ML tree and the primary concordance (BUCKy) tree reveals that the two approaches give similar results, relative to a phylogenetic tree inferred from the 16S rRNA gene. After comparing the results and the methods used, we conclude that the current best approach for generating a single phylogenetic tree, suitable for use as a reference phylogeny for comparative analyses, is to perform a maximum likelihood analysis of a concatenated alignment of conserved, single-copy genes.

TI Linking On-State Memory and Distributed Kinetics in Single Nanocrystal Blinking SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY B LA English DT Article ID QUANTUM DOTS; FLUORESCENCE INTERMITTENCY; CDSE; STATISTICS AB Memory effects in single nanocrystal fluorescence blinking are investigated as a function of the on-state kinetics for CdSe/ZnS quantum dots and CdSe nanorods. The on-state duration probability distributions for single nanocrystal blinking traces are characterized by an inverse power law, which crosses over to exponential decay for long on-state durations. The correlations of subsequent on-state durations (R-log,R-on) are found to decrease for nanocrystals that display earlier crossover times and smaller power law coefficients. Specifically, R-log,R-on increases from 0.14 +/- 0.02 to a saturation value of 0.44 +/- 0.01 for nanocrystals with average crossover times of similar to 100 ms to more than 5.0 s, respectively. The results represent the first link between memory effects and blinking kinetics and are interpreted in the framework of two competing charge trapping mechanisms. A slow fluctuation-based trapping mechanism leads to power-law-distributed on durations and significant memory effects; however, the additional contribution of an ionization induced trapping pathway is found to induce crossover to exponential decay and decreased memory. Monte Carlo simulations of nanocrystal blinking based on the two trapping mechanisms reproduce the experimental results, suggesting that the power law component and the memory effects correlate with a fluctuation-based mechanism. This effect is found to be universal, occurring for two nanocrystal morphologies and in blinking data measured using a wide range of continuous and pulsed excitation conditions.

Due to pronounced quantum size effects, the electronic spectra of the exciton, Ti17*, and the excess electron carrying radical anion, Ti17(center dot-), are blue-shifted in comparison with bulk TiO2 and have maxima at 1.91 and 1.24 eV, respectively. The 0.7 eV difference in the position of the absorption maxima of Ti17* and Ti17(center dot-) indicates the presence of strong Coulomb interaction between the conduction band electron and the valence band hole in the similar to 1 nm diameter cluster. Ground state Raman spectra and the vibronic structure of the fluorescence spectrum point to the importance of the interfacial ligand modes in the stabilization and localization of the fully relaxed exciton. Four pentacoordinate Ti sites near the surface of the cluster appear to play a special role in this regard. Solvent polarity has only a minor influence on the spectral behavior of Ti17*. Exciton recombination in Ti17 is faster than in anatase nanoparticles or mesoporous films. The kinetics exhibits three components, ranging from less than 1 ps to 100 ps, which are tentatively assigned to the geminate recombination within the core of the cluster and to the decay of the surface stabilized charge transfer exciton. A persistent long-lived component with tau > 300 ps may indicate the involvement of intraband dark states, i.e., triplet excitons (3)Ti17*.

Michl, Josef TI Toward Designed Singlet Fission: Solution Photophysics of Two Indirectly Coupled Covalent Dimers of 1,3-Diphenylisobenzofuran SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY B LA English DT Article ID DENSITY-FUNCTIONAL THEORY; INTRAMOLECULAR CHARGE-TRANSFER; ELECTRON-TRANSFER; EXCITON FISSION; TRANSFER EXCITATIONS; SOLAR-CELLS; STATES; MOLECULES; DYNAMICS; PHOTOISOMERIZATION AB In order to identify optimal conditions for singlet fission, we are examining the photophysics of 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran (1) dimers covalently coupled in various ways. In the two dimers studied presently, the coupling is weak. The subunits are linked via the para position of one of the phenyl substituents, in one case (2) through a CH2 linker and in the other (3) directly, but with methyl substituents in ortho positions forcing a nearly perpendicular twist between the two joint phenyl rings. The measurements are accompanied with density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) calculations. Although in neat solid state, 1 undergoes singlet fission with a rate constant higher than 10(11) s(-1); in nonpolar solutions of 2 and 3, the triplet formation rate constant is less than 10(6) s(-1) and fluorescence is the only significant event following electronic excitation. In polar solvents, fluorescence is weaker because the initial excited singlet state S-1 equilibrates by sub-nanosecond charge transfer with a nonemissive dipolar species in which a radical cation of 1 is attached to a radical anion of 1. Most of this charge transfer species decays to S-0, and some is converted into triplet T-1 with a rate constant near 10(8) s(-1). Experimental uncertainties prevent an accurate determination of the number of T-1 excitations that result when a single S-1 excitation changes into triplet excitation. It would be one if the charge-transfer species undergoes ordinary intersystem crossing and two if it undergoes the second step of two-step singlet fission. The triplet yield maximizes below room temperature to a value of roughly 9% for 3 and 4% for 2. Above similar to 360 K, some of the S-1 molecules of 3 are converted into an isomeric charge-transfer species with a shorter lifetime, possibly with a twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) structure. This is not observed in 2. C1 [Johnson, Justin C.; Nozik, Arthur J.] Natl Renewable Energy Lab, Golden, CO 80401 USA.

TI Detailed Transient Heme Structures of Mb-CO in Solution after CO Dissociation: An X-ray Transient Absorption Spectroscopic Study SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY B LA English DT Article ID FINE-STRUCTURE TECHNIQUE; NEAR-EDGE STRUCTURE; EXCITED-STATE; MOLECULAR-STRUCTURES; BIOACTIVE NO; MYOGLOBIN; CRYSTALLOGRAPHY; DYNAMICS; PHOTOLYSIS; SCATTERING AB Although understanding the structural dynamics associated with ligand photodissociation is necessary in order to correlate structure and function in biological systems, few techniques are capable of measuring the ultrafast dynamics of these systems in solution-phase at room temperature. We present here a detailed X-ray transient absorption (XTA) study of the photodissociation of CO-bound myoglobin (Fe(II)CO-Mb) in room-temperature aqueous buffer solution with a time resolution of 80 ps, along with a general procedure for handling biological samples under the harsh experimental conditions that transient X-ray experiments entail. The XTA spectra of (Fe(II)CO-Mb) exhibit significant XANES and XAFS alterations following 527 nm excitation, which remain unchanged for >47 mu s. These spectral changes indicate loss of the CO ligand, resulting in a five-coordinate, domed heme, and significant energetic reorganization of the 3d orbitals of the Fe center. With the current experimental setup, each X-ray pulse in the pulse train, separated by similar to 153 ns, can be separately discriminated, yielding snapshots of the myoglobin evolution over time. These methods can be easily applied to other biological systems, allowing for simultaneous structural and electronic measurements of any biological system with both ultrafast and slow time resolutions, effectively mapping out all of the samples' relevant physiological processes.

TI Interactions of Dimethoxy Ethane with Li2O2 Clusters and Likely Decomposition Mechanisms for Li-O-2 Batteries SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY C LA English DT Article ID LITHIUM-AIR BATTERIES; ETHER-BASED ELECTROLYTES; CARBONATE ELECTROLYTES; OXYGEN BATTERY; SUPEROXIDE; PRODUCTS; PERSPECTIVE; CHALLENGES; REACTIVITY; STABILITY AB One of the major problems facing the successful development of Li-O-2 batteries is the decomposition of nonaqueous electrolytes, where the decomposition can be chemical or electrochemical during discharge or charge. In this paper, the decomposition pathways of dimethoxy ethane (DME) by the chemical reaction with the major discharge product; Li2O2, are investigated using theoretical methods. The computations were carried out using small Li2O2 clusters as models for potential sites on Li2O2 surfaces Both hydrogen and proton abstraction mechanisms were considered. The computations suggest that the most favorable decomposition of ether solvents occurs on certain sites on the lithium peroxide surfaces involving hydrogen abstraction followed by reaction with oxygen, which leads to oxidized species such as aldehydes and carboxylates as well as LiOH on the surface of the lithium peroxide. The most favorable site is a Li-O-Li site that may be present on small nanoparticles or as a defect site on a surface. The decomposition route initiated by the proton abstraction from the secondary position of DME by the singlet cluster (O-O site) requires a much larger enthalpy of activation, and subsequent reactions may require the presence of oxygen or superoxide. Thus, pathways involving proton abstraction are less likely than that involving hydrogen abstraction. This type of electrolyte decomposition (electrolyte with hydrogen atoms) may influence the cell performance including the crystal growth, nanomorphologies of the discharge products, and charge overpotential.

TI Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Proton Transport in 3M and Nafion Perfluorosulfonic Acid Membranes SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY C LA English DT Article ID VALENCE-BOND MODEL; EXCHANGE MEMBRANES; FUEL-CELLS; HYDRATED NAFION; SULFONIC-ACID; WATER; SOLVATION; DIFFUSION; MORPHOLOGY AB Proton transfer and local structures in 3M (EW 825) and Nafion (EW 890) membranes are investigated in this study by both standard nonreactive molecular dynamics and the self-consistent iterative multistate empirical valence bond method, which is capable of simulating multiple reactive protons and accounting for the Grotthuss mechanism of proton transport. The Nafion and 3M systems have the same backbone, so we can isolate and compare the effect of the different side chains by calculating the radial distribution functions (RDFs), self-diffusion constants, and other properties for three hydration levels at 5, 9, and 14 at 300 and 353 K. The conformations of the 3M and Nafion side chains are also compared. We found that even though many results are similar for both F3C and SPC/Fw water models, certain trends such as the sulfonate clustering can depend on the water model selected. The relationship between the different RDFs for the sulfonate, water, and hydronium is discussed. The self-diffusion constants of water for both membranes are found to be close with respect to each water model selected, even though the experimental values for 3M at 300 K are higher. The calculated self-diffusion constants of the excess protons are found to be higher for 3M than Nafion for hydration levels 9 and 14 at 300 K but statistically the same at 353 K.

TI Theoretical Studies of the Adsorption of CO and C on Ni(111) and Ni/CeO2(111): Evidence of a Strong Metal-Support Interaction SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY C LA English DT Article ID WATER-GAS-SHIFT; GENERALIZED GRADIENT APPROXIMATION; SURFACES; CERIA; CATALYSTS; OXIDATION; NICKEL; OXIDE; NI; PLATINUM AB The catalytic CO methanation reaction on Ni/CeO2(111) systems is known to depend on Ni coverage: at medium and large coverages, Ni/CeO2(111) surfaces are able to catalyze methane production, whereas at small coverage they become efficient catalysts for the water gas shift reaction. Electronic structure, geometries, and the adsorption of C and CO on small Ni (n = 1 and 4) particles deposited on CeO2(111) have been studied using density functional theory (DFT) with the DFT+U approach and compared with Ni(111) and CeO2(111). The most stable Ni-4 cluster has a pyramidal structure (pyr-Ni-4), and a planar rhombohedral structure (r-Ni-4) is less stable by similar to 0.2 eV. Metallic Ni particles are partially oxidized (Ni2+/Ni1+) upon deposition on the ceria support, which is partially reduced. C species are strongly bound on Ni(111), whereas on Ni/CeO2(111), and on the bare support, oxidative adsorption (C + CeO2 + CO + CeO2,) is mostly preferred, opening a Mars van Krevelen mechanism to prevent coke formation. The exothermicity of nonoxidative adsorption of C on nickel sites follows the trend: Ni-1/CeO2(111) < pyr-Ni-4/CeO2(111) < Ni(111). On these systems, CO adsorption is nonmddative. The C-O bond strength follows the inverse trend of the nonoxidative adsorption of C:Ni(111) < pyr-Ni-4/CeO2(111) < Ni-1/CeO2(111). The stronger C-O bond found for the CO/Ni-1/CeO2(111) system compared with CO/Ni(111) provides an explanation of the Ni coverage dependence reported for the CO methanation reaction on Ni/CeO2(111) catalysts. The strong electronic perturbations in the Ni-1 adatoms produce a drastic change in their chemical properties.

Meunier, Vincent TI Electronic, Thermal, and Structural Properties of Graphene Oxide Frameworks SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY C LA English DT Article ID COVALENT ORGANIC FRAMEWORKS; AB-INITIO; FILMS; PSEUDOPOTENTIALS; SIZE AB We report a theoretical study of the electronic, thermal, and structural properties of a series of graphene oxide frameworks (GOFs) using first-principles calculations based on density functional theory. The molecular structure of GOFs is systematically studied by varying the nature and concentration of linear boronic acid pillars, and the thermal stability is assessed using ab initio molecular dynamics. The results demonstrate that GOFs are thermally stable up to 550 K and that electronic properties, such as their band gap, can be modified controllably by an appropriate choice of pillaring unit and pillar concentration. The tunability of the electronic structure using nonchemical means, e.g., mechanical strain, is also quantified. Overall, this class of materials is predicted to offer highly tunable materials electronic properties ranging from metallic to semiconducting.

It includes self assembled monolayer of ferrocene molecules chemically bonded to be a flat Au source and Au nanoparticles drain electrodes while gated with the central gate electrode. Using this configuration, we show that negative differential resistance, symmetrical behavior, and rectification effects can be tuned by controlling the gate voltage. The I-V curves shift from symmetric to strongly rectifying over a gate voltage range of a few tenths of volts around a threshold value where the junction behaves symmetrically. This is due to charging of the nanoparticle contact, which modifies the spatial profile of the voltage across the junction, a fact that we have included in a simple theoretical model that explains our experimental results quite well. Our device design affords a new way to fine-tune the rectification of molecular devices in a way that does not necessarily involve the Coulomb charging of the wire.

Ultrafast laser spectroscopy has recently provided fundamental insight into this fluid-structure interaction for nanoparticles immersed in a range of viscous fluids. In this article, we present results of a rigorous finite-element analysis and commensurate scaling theory that enable interpretation and analysis of these experiments, for the extensional vibrational modes of axisymmetric nanoparticles immersed in viscous fluids. Right circular, conical, and bipyramidal axisymmetric cylinder geometries are considered. We also develop an approximate analytical model that accounts for finite viscous penetration depth, which displays excellent agreement with finite-element results for particles of large aspect ratio. The finite-element results agree well with available measurements for particles in low viscosity fluids such as water, but significant discrepancies exist at higher viscosities. Possible mechanisms for these differences are discussed. C1 [Chakraborty, Debadi; van Leeuwen, Emma; Sader, John E.] Univ Melbourne, Dept Math & Stat, Melbourne, Vic 3010, Australia.

However, cross-reactive neutralizing antibodies arise in approximately 20% of HIV-1-infected individuals, and details of their generation could provide a blueprint for effective vaccination. Here we report the isolation, evolution and structure of a broadly neutralizing antibody from an African donor followed from the time of infection. The mature antibody, CH103, neutralized approximately 55% of HIV-1 isolates, and its co-crystal structure with the HIV-1 envelope protein gp120 revealed a new loop-based mechanism of CD4-binding-site recognition. Virus and antibody gene sequencing revealed concomitant virus evolution and antibody maturation. Notably, the unmutated common ancestor of the CH103 lineage avidly bound the transmitted/founder HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein, and evolution of antibody neutralization breadth was preceded by extensive viral diversification in and near the CH103 epitope. These data determine the viral and antibody evolution leading to induction of a lineage of HIV-1 broadly neutralizing antibodies, and provide insights into strategies to elicit similar antibodies by vaccination.

TI Accurate assessment of mass, models and resolution by small-angle scattering SO NATURE LA English DT Article ID X-RAY-SCATTERING; BIOLOGICAL MACROMOLECULES; STRUCTURAL-ANALYSES; SAXS; RNA; CRYSTALLOGRAPHY; COMPUTATION; PROTEINS; QUALITY; SCALE AB Modern small-angle scattering (SAS) experiments with X-rays or neutrons provide a comprehensive, resolution-limited observation of the thermodynamic state. However, methods for evaluating mass and validating SAS-based models and resolution have been inadequate. Here we define the volume of correlation, V-c, a SAS invariant derived from the scattered intensities that is specific to the structural state of the particle, but independent of concentration and the requirements of a compact, folded particle. We show that V-c defines a ratio, Q(R), that determines the molecular mass of proteins or RNA ranging from 10 to 1,000 kilodaltons. Furthermore, we propose a statistically robust method for assessing model-data agreements (chi(2)(free)) akin to cross-validation. Our approach prevents over-fitting of the SAS data and can be used with a newly defined metric, R-SAS, for quantitative evaluation of resolution. Together, these metrics (V-c, Q(R), chi(2)(free) and R-SAS) provide analytical tools for unbiased and accurate macromolecular structural characterizations in solution.

TI High-level semi-synthetic production of the potent antimalarial artemisinin SO NATURE LA English DT Article ID SACCHAROMYCES-CEREVISIAE; DIHYDROARTEMISINIC ACID; MOLECULAR-CLONING; DRUG ARTEMISININ; GENE DISRUPTION; CYTOCHROME B(5); BIOSYNTHESIS; ANNUA; REDUCTASE; YEAST AB In 2010 there were more than 200 million cases of malaria, and at least 655,000 deaths(1). The World Health Organization has recommended artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) for the treatment of uncomplicated malaria caused by the parasite Plasmodium falciparum. Artemisinin is a sesquiterpene endoperoxide with potent antimalarial properties, produced by the plant Artemisia annua. However, the supply of plant-derived artemisinin is unstable, resulting in shortages and price fluctuations, complicating production planning by ACT manufacturers(2). A stable source of affordable artemisinin is required. Here we use synthetic biology to develop strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker's yeast) for high-yielding biological production of artemisinic acid, a precursor of artemisinin. Previous attempts to produce commercially relevant concentrations of artemisinic acid were unsuccessful, allowing production of only 1.6 grams per litre of artemisinic acid(3). Here we demonstrate the complete biosynthetic pathway, including the discovery of a plant dehydrogenase and a second cytochrome that provide an efficient biosynthetic route to artemisinic acid, with fermentation titres of 25 grams per litre of artemisinic acid. Furthermore, we have developed a practical, efficient and scalable chemical process for the conversion of artemisinic acid to artemisinin using a chemical source of singlet oxygen, thus avoiding the need for specialized photochemical equipment. The strains and processes described here form the basis of a viable industrial process for the production of semi-synthetic artemisinin to stabilize the supply of artemisinin for derivatization into active pharmaceutical ingredients (for example, artesunate) for incorporation into ACTs. Because all intellectual property rights have been provided free of charge, this technology has the potential to increase provision of first-line antimalarial treatments to the developing world at a reduced average annual price.

By converting the reconstructed BPP phase image to picometer-scale ionic displacements in the polar unit cell, a quantitative polarization map was made that was consistent with other characterization. The spatial resolution of 5.7 nm demonstrated here establishes BPP as an important tool for nanoscale ferroelectric domain imaging, especially in complex environments accessible with hard x rays.

Pan, Zhengwei TI New Ternary Europium Aluminate Luminescent Nanoribbons for Advanced Photonics SO ADVANCED FUNCTIONAL MATERIALS LA English DT Article ID INORGANIC-COMPOUNDS; EU2+; IONS; NANOPHOTONICS AB Developing novel one-dimensional (1D) luminescent nanostructures (e.g., nanowires and nanoribbons) is highly desired for enabling progress in nanophotonics and other emerging optical technologies. Previous studies on 1D luminescent nanostructures were mostly focused on elemental and binary semiconductor materials, the light emission of which originates from the radiative recombination of electrons and holes via either intrinsic states or extrinsic defect states. Herein, three kinds of ternary europium aluminate nanoribbons are reported that have localized Eu2+ luminescent centers and exhibit new compositions, new crystal lattice structures, and new luminescence properties and mechanisms. These three europium aluminate nanoribbons are: blue luminescent EuAl6O10 with a new composition and a new tetragonal lattice structure, green luminescent EuAl2O4 with a monoclinic lattice structure, and orange luminescent EuAl2O4 with a new hexagonal lattice structure and extremely large band width and Stokes shift of emission. These materials have promising applications as nanometer-scale light generators and waveguides in nanophotonics and as light converting phosphors in warm white light-emitting diodes.

The method is benchmarked by using the traditional technique of direct integration of coupled-channel equations. A good agreement between the two methods has been found for well-bound states. For weakly bound subthreshold states with binding energies comparable to rotational energies of the anion, the direct integration approach breaks down and the Berggren expansion method becomes the tool of choice.

TI Non-Hermitian quantum annealing in the ferromagnetic Ising model SO PHYSICAL REVIEW A LA English DT Article ID NONADIABATIC TRANSITIONS; ADIABATIC EVOLUTION; PHASE; PERTURBATION; POINTS; SYSTEM AB We developed a non-Hermitian quantum optimization algorithm to find the ground state of the ferromagnetic Ising model with up to 1024 spins (qubits). Our approach leads to significant reduction of the annealing time. Analytical and numerical results demonstrate that the total annealing time is proportional to ln N, where N is the number of spins. This encouraging result is important in using classical computers in combination with quantum algorithms for the fast solutions of NP-complete problems. Additional research is proposed for extending our dissipative algorithm to more complicated problems.

Spectrographs require optics with a large angular dispersion rate as the key component. In visible light optics, diffraction gratings are used for this purpose. In the hard-x-ray regime, achieving large dispersion rates is a challenge. Here we show that multicrystal, multi-Bragg-reflection arrangements feature cumulative angular dispersion rates almost two orders of magnitude larger than those attainable with a single-Bragg reflection. As a result, the multicrystal arrangements become potential dispersing elements of hard-x-ray spectrographs. The hard-x-ray spectrograph principles are demonstrated by imaging a spectrum of photons with a record high resolution of Delta E similar or equal to 90 mu eV in the hard-x-ray regime, using multicrystal optics as the dispersing element. The spectrographs can boost research using inelastic ultrahigh-resolution x-ray spectroscopies with synchrotrons and seeded x-ray free electron lasers.

Electron spins at dangling-bond sites near the silicon surface are identified as the source of the nuclear hyperpolarization. This polarization method opens avenues for the fabrication of surface engineered nanostructures to create high nuclear spin polarized solutions without introducing contaminating radicals, and for the study of molecules adsorbed onto surfaces.

TI Identifying the critical point of the weakly first-order itinerant magnet DyCo2 with complementary magnetization and calorimetric measurements SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID BAND MODEL; PHASE-TRANSITIONS; ORDER; FERROMAGNETISM; FIELDS; INTERMETALLICS; METAMAGNETISM; SYSTEM AB We examine the character of the itinerant magnetic transition of DyCo2 by different calorimetric methods, thereby separating the heat capacity and latent heat contributions to the entropy-allowing direct comparison to other itinerant electron metamagnetic systems. The heat capacity exhibits a large lambda-like peak at the ferrimagnetic ordering phase transition, a signature that is remarkably similar to La(Fe,Si)(13), where it is attributed to giant spin fluctuations. Using calorimetric measurements, we also determine the point at which the phase transition ceases to be first order: the critical magnetic field, mu H-0(crit) = 0.4 +/- 0.1 T and temperature T-crit = 138.5 +/- 0.5 K, and we compare these values to those obtained from analysis of magnetization by application of the Shimizu inequality for itinerant electron metamagnetism. Good agreement is found between these independent measurements, thus establishing the phase diagram and critical point with some confidence. In addition, we find that the often-used Banerjee criterion may not be suitable for determination of first order behavior in itinerant magnet systems.

CA PHENIX Collaboration TI gamma (1S+2S+3S) production in d plus Au and p plus p collisions at root s(NN)=200 GeV and cold-nuclear-matter effects SO PHYSICAL REVIEW C LA English DT Article ID PARTON DISTRIBUTIONS AB The three gamma states, gamma (1S + 2S + 3S), are measured in d + Au and p + p collisions at root s(NN) = 200 GeV and rapidities 1.2 < vertical bar y vertical bar < 2.2 by the PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. Cross sections for the inclusive gamma (1S + 2S + 3S) production are obtained. The inclusive yields per binary collision for d + Au collisions relative to those in p + p collisions (R-dAu) are found to be 0.62 +/- 0.26 (stat) +/- 0.13 (syst) in the gold-going direction and 0.91 +/- 0.33 (stat) +/- 0.16 (syst) in the deuteron-going direction. The measured results are compared to a nuclear-shadowing model, EPS09 [Eskola et al., J. High Energy Phys. 04 (2009) 065], combined with a final-state breakup cross section, sigma(br), and compared to lower energy p + A results. We also compare the results to the PHENIX J/psi results [Adare et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 107, 142301 (2011)]. The rapidity dependence of the observed gamma suppression is consistent with lower energy p + A measurements. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevC.87.044909 C1 [Andrews, K. R.; Basye, A.

TI Features and flaws of a contact interaction treatment of the kaon SO PHYSICAL REVIEW C LA English DT Article ID ELECTROMAGNETIC FORM-FACTORS; JONA-LASINIO MODEL; CHARGE RADIUS; QUANTUM CHROMODYNAMICS; EXCLUSIVE PROCESSES; STANDARD MODEL; PION; QCD; THEOREM; DECAYS AB Elastic and semileptonic transition form factors for the kaon and pion are calculated using the leading order in a global-symmetry-preserving truncation of the Dyson-Schwinger equations and a momentum-independent form for the associated kernels in the gap and Bethe-Salpeter equations. The computed form factors are compared both with those obtained using the same truncation but an interaction that preserves the one-loop renormalization-group behavior of QCD and with data. The comparisons show that in connection with observables revealed by probes with vertical bar Q(2)vertical bar less than or similar to M-2, where M approximate to 0.4 GeV is an infrared value of the dressed-quark mass, results obtained using a symmetry-preserving regularization of the contact interaction are not realistically distinguishable from those produced by more sophisticated kernels, and available data on kaon form factors do not extend into the domain whereupon one could distinguish among the interactions. The situation differs if one includes the domain Q(2) > M-2. Thereupon, a fully consistent treatment of the contact interaction produces form factors that are typically harder than those obtained with QCD renormalization-group-improved kernels. Among other things also described are a Ward identity for the inhomogeneous scalar vertex, similarity between the charge distribution of a dressed u quark in the K+ and that of the dressed u quark in the pi(+), and reflections upon the point whereat one might begin to see perturbative behavior in the pion form factor. Interpolations of the form factors are provided, which should assist in working to chart the interaction between light quarks by explicating the impact on hadron properties of differing assumptions about the behavior of the Bethe-Salpeter kernel.

TI Comparison between x-ray scattering and velocity-interferometry measurements from shocked liquid deuterium SO PHYSICAL REVIEW E LA English DT Article ID EQUATION-OF-STATE; INERTIAL CONFINEMENT FUSION; GIANT PLANETS; FLUID HYDROGEN; DIRECT-DRIVE; HIGH-DENSITY; PLASMAS; INTERIORS; OMEGA; PERFORMANCE AB The equation of state of light elements is essential to understand the structure of Jovian planets and inertial confinement fusion research. The Omega laser was used to drive a planar shock wave in the cryogenically cooled deuterium, creating warm dense matter conditions. X-ray scattering was used to determine the spectrum near the boundary of the collective and noncollective scattering regimes using a narrow band x-ray source in backscattering geometry. Our scattering spectra are thus sensitive to the individual electron motion as well as the collective plasma behavior and provide a measurement of the electron density, temperature, and ionization state. Our data are consistent with velocity-interferometry measurements previously taken on the same shocked deuterium conditions and presented by K. Falk et al. [High Energy Density Phys. 8, 76 (2012)]. This work presents a comparison of the two diagnostic systems and offers a detailed discussion of challenges encountered. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevE.87.043112 C1 [Falk, K.; Crowley, B. J. B.; Murphy, C.

CA ATLAS Collaboration TI Search for single b*-quark production with the ATLAS detector at root s=7 TeV SO PHYSICS LETTERS B LA English DT Article DE ATLAS; b*; Single top-quark; Excited quark ID PRODUCTION CROSS-SECTION; TOP-QUARK; PP COLLISIONS; PAIR PRODUCTION; EXCITED QUARKS; PHYSICS; CHANNEL; BOSON; HERA AB The results of a search for an excited bottom-quark b* in pp collisions at root s = 7 TeV, using 4.7 fb(-1) of data collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC are presented. In the model studied, a single b*-quark is produced through a chromomagnetic interaction and subsequently decays to a W boson and a top quark. The search is performed in the dilepton and lepton + jets final states, which are combined to set limits on b*-quark couplings for a range of b*-quark masses. For a benchmark with unit size chromomagnetic and Standard Model-like electroweak b* couplings, b* quarks with masses less than 870 GeV are excluded at the 95% credibility level. (C) 2013 CERN.

CA CMS Collaboration TI Measurement of the W+W- and ZZ production cross sections in pp collisions at root s=8 TeV SO PHYSICS LETTERS B LA English DT Article DE CMS; Physics; W and Z pair production ID PARTON DISTRIBUTIONS; HIGGS-BOSON; LHC; SEARCH; CMS AB The W+W- and ZZ production cross sections are measured in proton-proton collisions at root s = 8 TeV with the CMS experiment at the LHC in data samples corresponding to an integrated luminosity of up to 5.3 fb(-1). The measurements are performed in the leptonic decay modes W+W- -> l'vl '' v and ZZ -> 2l2l', where l = e, mu and l'(l '') = e, mu, tau. The measured cross sections sigma (pp -> W+W-) =, 69.9 +/- 2.8 (stat.) +/- 5.6 (syst.) 3.1 +/- (lum.) pb and sigma (pp -> ZZ) = 8.4 +/- 1.0 (stat) +/- 0.7 (syst) +/- 0.4 (lum.) pb, for both Z bosons produced in the mass region 60 < m(Z) < 120 GeV, are consistent with standard model predictions. These are the first measurements of the diboson production cross sections at root s = 8 TeV. (C) 2013 CERN. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

CA D0 Collaboration TI Measurement of the combined rapidity and p(T) dependence of dijet azimuthal decorrelations in p(p)over-bar collisions at root s=1.96 TeV SO PHYSICS LETTERS B LA English DT Article ID PARTON DISTRIBUTIONS; CROSS-SECTIONS; 3-JET; LHC AB We present the first combined measurement of the rapidity and transverse momentum dependence of dijet azimuthal decorrelations, using the recently proposed quantity R-Delta phi. The variable R-Delta phi measures the fraction of the inclusive dijet events in which the azimuthal separation of the two jets with the highest transverse momenta is less than a specified value of the parameter Delta phi(max). The quantity R-Delta phi is measured in p (p) over bar collisions at root s = 1.96 TeV, as a function of the dijet rapidity interval, the total scalar transverse momentum, and Delta phi(max). The measurement uses an event sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 0.7 fb(-1) collected with the DO detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The results are compared to predictions of a perturbative QCD calculation at next-to-leading order in the strong coupling with corrections for non-perturbative effects. The theory predictions describe the data well, except in the kinematic region of large dijet rapidity intervals and small Delta phi(max). (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. C1 [Maciel, A. K.

We find that the measurement of nuclear modification factor of Z(0) production provides a clean and unambiguous test of the nuclear anti-shadowing proposed in the recent EPS09. In addition, the dramatic difference in transverse momentum broadening between the heavy quarkonium and W/Z(0) production could be a signature prediction of QCD parton multiple scattering, and it provides valuable information on color neutralization of a produced heavy quark pair when it transmutes into a physical quarkonium.

TI Ab initio study of He point defects in fcc Au-Ag alloys SO JOURNAL OF ALLOYS AND COMPOUNDS LA English DT Article DE Helium; Au-Ag alloy; Ab initio calculation ID AUGMENTED-WAVE METHOD; PLUTONIUM; METALS AB The relative stabilities of He defects in two fcc Au-Ag alloys (Au3Ag2 and AuAg) are investigated using ab initio method based on density functional theory. The results show that the stabilities of He defects in the two alloys mainly depend on the atomic arrangements of the nearest neighboring host metals. A He interstitial prefers to stay at a site with more Ag neighboring atoms, while the favorable substitutional site has more Au neighboring atoms in Au-Ag alloys. Moreover, the substitutional He defects are the most stable configurations in both the alloys, and the octahedral He interstitials are energetically more favorable than the tetrahedral interstitials. It is of interest to note that the properties of He defects slightly depend on the mass-density of Au-Ag alloys. The results also demonstrate that the relative stabilities of He defects are primarily attributed to the hybridization between metals d states and He p states. (c) 2013 Elsevier B.V.

The existence of the compounds with R = Ce, Pr, Sm, Gd, Tb, and Dy has been confirmed, while new compounds with R = Y, La, Nd, Ho, Er, Tm, and Lu have been discovered. All of the studied phases adopt the Dy117Co57Sn112-type crystal structures with a giant cubic cell (a similar to 30 angstrom) when the proper heat treatment regime was selected. The lattice parameter decreases from La to Lu, in accordance with the lanthanide contraction and indicating the trivalent state for Ce in Ce117Co54.5Sn115.2. The Co/Sn compositional ratio increases when the size of the R atoms decreases. A single crystal investigation of Gd117Co56.4Sn114.3 confirms extensive structural disorder, particularly around the (1/2, 1/2, 1/2) location of the unit cell (4b site). Such disorder leads to an elongation of the thermal ellipsoids for the atoms surrounding this location. The magnetic measurements of the compounds with R = Ce, Gd and Tb indicate weak magnetic interactions and non-collinear alignment of magnetic moments in the ordered state. The electrical resistivity of Gd117Co56.4Sn114.3 shows interesting behavior with a change of sign at T-C for the d rho/dT parameter. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Dysregulated trophic signaling could lead to various neurological disorders. Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 2B (CMT2B) is one of the most common inherited peripheral neuropathies characterized by severe terminal axonal loss. Genetic analysis of human CMT2B patients has revealed four missense point mutations in Rab7, a small GTPase that regulates late endosomal/lysosomal pathways, but the exact pathological mechanism remains poorly understood. Here, we show that these Rab7 mutants dysregulated axonal transport and diminished the retrograde signaling of NGF and its TrkA receptor. We found that all CMT2B Rab7 mutants were transported significantly faster than Rab7(wt) in the anterograde direction, accompanied with an increased percentile of anterograde Rab7-vesicles within axons of rat E15.5 dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons. In PC12M cells, the CMT2B Rab7 mutants drastically reduced the level of surface TrkA and NGF binding, presumably by premature degradation of TrkA. On the other hand, siRNA knock-down of endogenous Rab7 led to the appearance of large TrkA puncta in enlarged Rab5-early endosomes within the cytoplasm, suggesting delayed TrkA degradation. We also show that CMT2B Rab7 mutants markedly impaired NGF-induced Erk1/2 activation and differentiation in PC12M cells. Further analysis revealed that CMT2B Rab7 mutants caused axonal degeneration in rat E15.5 DRG neurons.

The compound shows a "double-hybrid" nature: it is a hybrid organic-inorganic compound and it shows hybrid improper ferroelectricity. Here, the coupling of non-polar distortions, such as Jahn-Teller pseudo-rotations and tilting, pave the way to a polar behavior, with the coupling being realized through hydrogen bonds.

TI High Catalytic Rates for Hydrogen Production Using Nickel Electrocatalysts with Seven-Membered Cyclic Diphosphine Ligands Containing One Pendant Amine SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID 2ND COORDINATION SPHERE; HYDRIDE DONOR ABILITIES; IRON-ONLY HYDROGENASE; H-2 PRODUCTION; LOW OVERPOTENTIALS; FUNCTIONAL MODELS; ACTIVE-SITE; MOLECULAR CATALYSTS; STRUCTURE/FUNCTION RELATIONSHIPS; ELECTROCHEMICAL PARAMETRIZATION AB A series of Ni-based electrocatalysts, [Ni(7P(2)(Ph)N(C6H4X))(2)](BF4)(2), featuring seven-membered cyclic diphosphine ligands incorporating a single amine base, 1-para-X-phenyl-3,6-triphenyl-1-aza-3,6-diphosphacycloheptane (7P(2)(Ph)N(C6H4X), where X = OMe, Me, Br, Cl, or CF3), have been synthesized and characterized. X-ray diffraction studies have established that the [Ni(7P(2)(Ph)N(C6H4X))(2)](2+) complexes have a square planar geometry, with bonds to four phosphorus atoms of the two bidentate diphosphine ligands. Each of the complexes is an efficient electrocatalyst for hydrogen production at the potential of the Ni(II/I) couple, with turnover frequencies ranging from 2400 to 27 000 s(-1) with [(DMF)H](+) in acetonitrile. Addition of water (up to 1.0 M) accelerates the catalysis, giving turnover frequencies ranging from 4100 to 96 000 s(-1). Computational studies carried out on the [Ni(7P(2)(Ph)N(C6H4X))(2)](2+) family indicate the catalytic rates reach a maximum when the electron-donating character of X results in the pK(a) of the Ni(I) protonated pendant amine matching that of the acid used for proton delivery. Additionally, the fast catalytic rates for hydrogen production by the [Ni(7P(2)(Ph)NC(6H4X))(2)](2+) family relative to the analogous [Ni((P2N2C6H4X)-N-Ph)(2)](2+) family are attributed to preferred formation of endo protonated isomers with respect to the metal center in the former, which is essential to attain suitable proximity to the reduced metal center to generate H-2. The results of this work highlight the importance of precise pK(a) matching with the acid for proton delivery to obtain optimal rates of catalysis.

Its sulfonated derivative yields ordered carbon when pyrolyzed under inert atmosphere. Here, we investigate its pyrolysis pathways by selecting n-heptane-4-sulfonic acid (H4S) as a model compound. Density functional theory and transition state theory were used to determine the rate constants of pyrolysis for H4S from 300 to 1000 K. Multiple reaction channels from two different mechanisms were explored: (1) internal five-centered elimination (E(i)5) and (2) radical chain reaction. The pyrolysis of H4S was simulated with kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC) to obtain thermogravimetric (TGA) plots that compared favorably to experiment. We observed that at temperatures <550 K, the radical mechanism was dominant and yielded the trans-alkene, whereas cis-alkene was formed at higher temperatures from the internal elimination. The maximum rates of % mass loss became independent of initial (O) over dotH radical concentration at 440-480 K. Experimentally, the maximum % mass loss occurred from 440 to 460 K (heating rate dependent). Activation energies derived from the kMC-simulated TGAs of H4S (26-29 kcal/mol) agreed with experiment for sulfonated polyethylene (similar to 31 kcal/mol). The simulations revealed that in this region, decomposition of radical HOS(O) over dot(2) became competitive to alpha-H abstraction by HOS(O) over dot(2), making (O) over dotH the carrying radical for the reaction chain. The maximum rate of % mass loss for internal elimination was observed at temperatures >600 K. Low-scale carbonization utilizes temperatures <620 K-i thus, internal elimination will not be competitive. E(i)5 elimination has been studied for sulfoxides and sulfones, but this represents the first study of internal elimination in sulfonic acids.

TI Oscillator-field model of moving mirrors in quantum optomechanics SO PHYSICAL REVIEW A LA English DT Article ID RESOLVED-SIDE-BAND; ELECTROMAGNETIC-FIELD; MICROMECHANICAL OSCILLATOR; RADIATION-PRESSURE; PARTICLE CREATION; DIMENSIONAL SPACE; DISPERSIVE MIRROR; STATE REDUCTION; MASTER EQUATION; BROWNIAN-MOTION AB We present a microphysics model for the kinematics and dynamics of optomechanics describing the coupling between an optical field, modeled here by a massless scalar field, and the internal and mechanical degrees of freedom of a movable mirror. Instead of implementing boundary conditions on the field, we introduce an internal degree of freedom and its dynamics to describe the mirror's reflectivity. Depending on parameter values, the internal degrees of freedom of the mirror in this model capture a range of its optical activities, from those exhibiting broadband reflective properties to those reflecting only in a narrow band. After establishing the model we show how appropriate parameter choices lead to other well-known optomechanical models, including those of Barton and Calogeracos [Ann. Phys. (NY) 238, 227 (1995)], Calogeracos and Barton, Ann. Phys. (NY) 238, 268 (1995), Law [Phys. Rev. A 51, 2537 (1995)], and Golestanian and Kardar [Phys. Rev. Lett. 78, 3421 (1997); Phys. Rev. A 58, 1713 (1998)]. As a simple illustrative application we derive classical radiation pressure cooling from this model. We then connect our microphysics model to the common descriptions of a moving mirror coupled to radiation pressure (e. g., with Nx coupling, where N is the photon number and x is the mirror displacement), making explicit the underlying assumptions made in these phenomenological models. Our model is also applicable to the lesser explored case of small N, which existing models based on sideband approximations [Kimble et al., Phys. Rev. D 65, 022002 (2001)] have not addressed. Interestingly, we also find that slow-moving mirrors in our model can be described by the ubiquitous Brownian motion model of quantum open systems. The scope of applications of this model ranges from a full quantum-mechanical treatment of radiation pressure cooling and quantum entanglement between macroscopic mirrors to the back reaction of Hawking radiation on black-hole evaporation in a moving mirror analog.

TI Novel Chiral Magnetic Domain Wall Structure in Fe/Ni/Cu(001) Films SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article ID SKYRMION LATTICE; ORDER AB Using spin-polarized low energy electron microscopy, we discovered a new type of domain wall structure in perpendicularly magnetized Fe/Ni bilayers grown epitaxially on Cu(100). Specifically, we observed unexpected Neel-type walls with fixed chirality in the magnetic stripe phase. Furthermore, we find that the chirality of the domain walls is determined by the film growth order with the chirality being right handed in Fe/Ni bilayers and left handed in Ni/Fe bilayers, suggesting that the underlying mechanism is the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction at the film interfaces. Our observations may open a new route to control chiral spin structures using interfacial engineering in transition metal heterostructures.

TI Magnonlike Dispersion of Spin Resonance in Ni-doped BaFe2As2 SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article ID SUPERCONDUCTORS AB Inelastic neutron scattering measurements on Ba(Fe0.963Ni0.037)(2)As-2 manifest a neutron spin resonance in the superconducting state with anisotropic dispersion within the Fe layer. Whereas the resonance is sharply peaked at the antiferromagnetic (AFM) wave vector Q(AFM) along the orthorhombic a axis, the resonance disperses upwards away from Q(AFM) along the b axis. In contrast to the downward dispersing resonance and hourglass shape of the spin excitations in superconducting cuprates, the resonance in electron-doped BaFe2As2 compounds possesses a magnonlike upwards dispersion.

TI Unanticipated Proximity Behavior in Ferromagnet-Superconductor Heterostructures with Controlled Magnetic Noncollinearity SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article ID FIELD AB Magnetization noncollinearity in ferromagnet-superconductor (F/S) heterostructures is expected to enhance the superconducting transition temperature (T-c) according to the domain-wall superconductivity theory, or to suppress Tc when spin-triplet Cooper pairs are explicitly considered. We study the proximity effect in F/S structures where the F layer is a Sm-Co/Py exchange-spring bilayer and the S layer is Nb. The exchange-spring contains a single, controllable and quantifiable domain wall in the Py layer. We observe an enhancement of superconductivity that is nonmonotonic as the Py domain wall is increasingly twisted via rotating a magnetic field, different from theoretical predictions. We have excluded magnetic fields and vortex motion as the source of the nonmonotonic behavior. This unanticipated proximity behavior suggests that new physics is yet to be captured in the theoretical treatments of F/S systems containing noncollinear magnetization.

TI Influence of fs-laser desorption on target normal sheath accelerated ions SO PHYSICAL REVIEW SPECIAL TOPICS-ACCELERATORS AND BEAMS LA English DT Article ID PROTON-BEAMS; ELECTRON AB We report on the effects of fs-laser desorption on the ion acceleration induced by the target normal sheath acceleration (TNSA) mechanism. The experiment was performed at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) using the 100 TW Callisto laser of the Jupiter Laser Facility (JLF). Thin metal foils (Au, Cu, and Al) with thicknesses ranging from 10 to 20 mu m were irradiated by a variable number of low intensity (similar to 10(12) W/cm(2)) laser pulses, the last one arriving 100 ms before the main pulse. With these short pulses water vapor and hydrocarbon contaminations could stepwise be removed from the target surface. Substantial modifications of the TNSA-ion energy spectra were observed such as diminished proton energy and intensity, the absence of low-charged ion states, increased particle numbers for C4+ and O6+ ions in the higher energetic part of their particle spectra as well as the acceleration of target ions. The controlled application of fs-laser desorption on the laser-ion acceleration thus strongly influences the ion spectra and offers the possibility of selecting a targeted range of ion species for the acceleration to higher energies due to the systematic removal of contamination layers.

TI Persistence of local-moment antiferromagnetic order in Ba1-xKxMn2As2 SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID INSULATOR; METAL AB BaMn2As2 is a local-moment antiferromagnetic insulator with a Neel temperature T-N of 625 K and a large ordered moment of 3.9 mu(B)/Mn. Remarkably, this compound can be driven metallic by the substitution of as little as 1.6% K for Ba while retaining essentially the same ordered magnetic moment and Neel temperature, as previously reported. Here, using both powder and single crystal neutron diffraction we show that the local moment antiferromagnetic order in Ba1-xKxMn2As2 remains robust up to x = 0.4. The ordered moment is nearly independent of x for 0 <= x <= 0.4 and T-N decreases to 480 K at x = 0.4. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevB.87.144418 C1 [Lamsal, J.; Tucker, G.

SO SCIENTIFIC REPORTS LA English DT Article ID T-C; CUPRATE SUPERCONDUCTORS; OPTICAL-PROPERTIES; PENETRATION DEPTH; TEMPERATURE; STATE; ELECTRODYNAMICS; CONDUCTIVITY AB Universal scaling relations are of tremendous importance in science, as they reveal fundamental laws of nature. Several such scaling relations have recently been proposed for superconductors; however, they are not really universal in the sense that some important families of superconductors appear to fail the scaling relations, or obey the scaling with different scaling pre-factors. In particular, a large group of materials called organic (or molecular) superconductors are a notable example. Here, we show that such apparent violations are largely due to the fact that the required experimental parameters were collected on different samples, with different experimental techniques. When experimental data is taken on the same sample, using a single experimental technique, organic superconductors, as well as all other studied superconductors, do in fact follow universal scaling relations.

TI Structural evidence for stabilized ferromagnetism in epitaxial FeRh nanoislands SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICS D-APPLIED PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID MAGNETIC TRANSITION; ALLOY; FILMS; PRESSURE AB Nanoislands of alpha'-FeRh were formed by the deposition of a 10 nm film onto (0 0 1)-MgO and observed by atomic force microscopy. This island-like architecture results in stabilized ferromagnetic (FM) ordering at low temperatures as noted by asymmetry in the x-ray diffraction peaks, a magnetostructural transition with a large magnetic background signal, and broad thermal hysteresis. The combination of structural and magnetic results suggest that the crystallographic arrangement of the FeRh nanoislands consists of a gradient of lattice parameters where there is a compressed inner region of lower lattice parameter values (attributed to antiferromagnetic ordering) which gradually relaxes outward to a region of larger lattice parameters (attributed to a retained FM ordering). The impact of this configuration on magnetostructural transformation is discussed in the context of classical nucleation theory. C1 [Loving, M.; Jimenez-Villacorta, F.; Kaeswurm, B.; Lewis, L.

TI Correlating optical damage threshold with intrinsic defect populations in fused silica as a function of heat treatment temperature SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICS D-APPLIED PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID SURFACE DAMAGE; LASER; DIOXIDE; SPECTROSCOPY; ABSORPTION; MICROSCOPY; RESISTANCE; IGNITION; FILMS; SIO2 AB Chemical vapour deposition (CVD) is used for the production of fused silica optics in high-power laser applications. However, relatively little is known about the ultraviolet laser damage threshold of CVD films and how they relate to intrinsic defects produced during deposition. We present here a study relating structural and electronic defects in CVD films to 355 nm pulsed-laser damage threshold as a function of post-deposition annealing temperature (T-HT). Plasma-enhanced CVD based on SiH4/N2O under oxygen-rich conditions was used to deposit 1.5, 3.1 and 6.4 mu m thick films on etched SiO2 substrates. Rapid annealing was performed using a scanned CO2 laser beam up to T-HT similar to 2100 K. The films were then characterized using x-ray photoemission spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and photoluminescence spectroscopy. A gradual transition in the damage threshold of annealed films was observed for T-HT values up to 1600 K, correlating with a decrease in non-bridging silanol and oxygen deficient centres. An additional sharp transition in damage threshold also occurs at similar to 1850K indicating substrate annealing. Based on our results, a mechanism for damage-related defect annealing is proposed, and the potential of using high-T-HT CVD SiO2 to mitigate optical damage is also discussed.

To pursue an analogue of layer-structured spintronic materials, we demonstrate that it is possible to obtain attractive magnetic properties in hole-doped Mn/Si trilayers. We found that by forming a trilayer structure, with Mn-occupying interstitial sites, and by introducing a layer of holes in between, the sample can be a half-metal. This new finding should open a viable route to grow Si-based half-metallic spintronic materials because doping Mn at interstitial sites significantly reduces the formation-energy barrier as compared with the transition metal element occupying substitutional sites. An argument is also presented that a finite width of an Mn layer may not destroy the half-metallic property. C1 [Yang, L. H.] Lawrence Livermore Natl Lab, Livermore, CA 94551 USA.

The length scale of dynamic annealing can be described in terms of the characteristic defect diffusion length (L-d). Here, we propose to measure L-d by a pulsed beam method. Our approach is based on the observation of enhanced defect production when, for individual ion pulses, the average separation between adjacent damage regions is smaller than L-d. We obtain a value for L-d of similar to 30 nm for float-zone Si crystals bombarded at room temperature with 500 keV Ar ions. C1 [Charnvanichborikarn, S.; Myers, M. T.; Kucheyev, S.

The spectral features show clear differences in energy and intensity between WO3 and Na0.67WO3. The x-ray emission spectrum of metallic Na0.67WO3 terminates in a distinct Fermi edge. The rigid-band model fails to explain the electronic structure of Na0.67WO3 in terms of a simple addition of electrons to the conduction band of WO3. Instead, Na bonding and Na 3s-O 2p hybridization need to be considered for the sodium-tungsten bronze, along with occupation of the bottom of the conduction band. Furthermore, the anisotropy in the band structure of monoclinic gamma-WO3 revealed by the experimental spectra with orbital-resolved geometry is explained via density functional theory calculations. For gamma-WO3 itself, good agreement is found between the experimental O K-edge spectra and the theoretical partial density of states of O 2p orbitals. Indirect and direct bandgaps of insulating WO3 are determined from extrapolating separations between spectral leading edges and accounting for the core-hole energy shift in the absorption process. The O 2p non-bonding states show upward band dispersion as a function of incident photon energy for both compounds, which is explained using the calculated band structure and experimental geometry.

Previous analyses have failed to identify phenotypic properties other than chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) and CD4+ T-cell tropism that are preferentially associated with viral transmission. However, most of these studies were limited to examining envelope (Env) function in the context of pseudoviruses. Here, we generated infectious molecular clones of transmitted founder (TF; n = 27) and chronic control (CC; n = 14) viruses of subtypes B (n = 18) and C (n = 23) and compared their phenotypic properties in assays specifically designed to probe the earliest stages of HIV-1 infection. We found that TF virions were 1.7-fold more infectious (P = 0.049) and contained 1.9-fold more Env per particle (P = 0.048) compared with CC viruses. TF viruses were also captured by monocyte-derived dendritic cells 1.7-fold more efficiently (P = 0.035) and more readily transferred to CD4+ T cells (P = 0.025). In primary CD4+ T cells, TF and CC viruses replicated with comparable kinetics; however, when propagated in the presence of IFN-alpha, TF viruses replicated to higher titers than CC viruses. This difference was significant for subtype B (P = 0.000013) but not subtype C (P = 0.53) viruses, possibly reflecting demographic differences of the respective patient cohorts. Together, these data indicate that TF viruses are enriched for higher Env content, enhanced cell-free infectivity, improved dendritic cell interaction, and relative IFN-alpha resistance. These viral properties, which likely act in concert, should be considered in the development and testing of AIDS vaccines.

The restriction is enforced at every time step by simply applying soft thresholding to the coefficients of the basis approximation. By reducing or compressing the information needed to represent the solution at every step, only the essential dynamics are represented. In many cases, there are natural bases derived from the differential equations, which promote sparsity. We find that our method successfully reduces the dynamics of convection equations, diffusion equations, weak shocks, and vorticity equations with high-frequency source terms.

Assemblies of noble metal nanostructures have unique optical properties that depend on key structural features requiring precise control of both position and connectivity spanning nanometer to micrometer length scales. Identifying and optimizing structures that strongly couple to light is important for understanding the behavior of surface plasmons in small nanoparticle clusters, and can result in highly sensitive chemical and biochemical sensors using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). We use experiment and simulation to examine the local surface plasmon resonances of different arrangements of Ag polyhedral clusters. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy shows that monodisperse, atomically smooth Ag polyhedra can self-assemble into uniform interparticle gaps that result in reproducible SERS enhancement factors from assembly to assembly. We introduce a large-scale, gravity-driven assembly method that can generate arbitrary nanoparticle clusters based on the size and shape of a patterned template. These templates enable the systematic examination of different cluster arrangements and provide a means of constructing scalable and reliable SERS sensors.

In the regime negative of the Pb amalgamation potential Phi(rp) = -0.70 V, no change is observed from the surface-layered structure of pure Hg. Upon potential-induced release of Pb2+ from the Hg bulk at Phi > Phi(rp), the formation of an intriguing interface structure is observed, comprising a well-defined 7.6-angstrom-thick adlayer, decorated with structurally related 3D crystallites. Both are identified by their diffraction peaks as PbFBr, preferentially aligned with their (c) over right arrow axis along the interface normal. X-ray reflectivity shows the adlayer to consist of a stack of five ionic layers, forming a single-unit-cell-thick crystalline PbFBr precursor film, which acts as a template for the subsequent quasiepitaxial 3D crystal growth. This growth behavior is assigned to the combined action of electrostatic and short-range chemical interactions.

As synthetic methodologies of nanocrystals have matured, greater emphasis has been made on controlling the early stages of the reaction in order to gain access to these sub-2 nm species. This review provides an overview of ultrasmall and magic-sized nanocrystals, and the diverse chemical means to obtain them. Due to their small size and their resultant properties, these ultrasmall and magic-sized nanocrystals have a distinct advantage in many applications including achieving renal clearance for the purpose of biological imaging, producing simple and high-quality white LEDs, and controlling the growth of nanocrystals to produce various morphologies.

Recently, chemists have tackled the long-standing challenge of introducing dopant atoms into nanocrystals, and strategies that apply across diverse compositions are beginning to emerge. In this review, we first briefly summarize the array of characterization methods used to assess doping efficacy for reference throughout the discussion. We then enumerate chemical strategies for doping with illustrative examples from the literature. A key concept is that the reactions leading to growth of the host crystal and to deposition of dopant ions must be balanced to succeed in incorporating dopants during crystal growth. This challenge has been met through various chemical strategies, and new methods, such as postsynthetic diffusion of dopant ions, continue to be developed. The opportunity to deliver new functionality by doping nanocrystals is great, particularly as characterization methods and synthetic control over introduction of multiple dopants advance.

They are also characterized by an efficient nonradiative recombination process known as Auger recombination (AR). Recently, new approaches to NQD heterostructuring have been developed that directly impact both blinking and AR, resulting in dramatic suppression of these unwanted processes. The three successful hetero-NQD motifs are reviewed here: (1) interfacial alloying, (2) thick or "giant" shells, and (3) specific type-II electronic structures. These approaches, which rely on modifying or tuning internal NQD core/shell structures, are compared with alternative strategies for blinking suppression that rely, instead, on surface modifications or surface mediated interactions. Finally, in each case, the unique synthetic approaches or challenges addressed that have driven the realization of novel and important functionality are discussed, along with the implications for development of a comprehensive "materials design" strategy for blinking and AR suppressed heterostructured NQDs.

The theory suggests that randomly oriented rod-like crystallites can be grown into a film or array of nanowires with the maximal growth rate direction approximately normal to the substrate; in the case of ZnO, this is the c-axis direction. To examine this growth phenomenon experimentally, ZnO nanowire arrays with a random initial orientation were grown, and the number of wires that survived the geometrical selection up to a certain distance, h, from the substrate was measured. The resulting number density of the survived wires decreased as h(-0.8) while the geometrical selection model predicted the decrease to be similar to h(-1). As developed originally, the model can also apply universally to other three-dimensional (3D) crystal ensembles besides ZnO. Understanding geometrical selection will allow assessment of if and when this theory can be used to obtain films with certain characteristics, such as the orientation and scattering of the nanowire array, that is relevant for specific applications.

The CPI approach involves the successive injection of precursors into the seed solution at a controlled rate so that the reaction condition remains in the kinetic growth regime. To initiage the successful development of tetrapod structure, the controlled amount of halide ligands are added during the reaction, which triggered the formation of wurtzide arms on {111}-facets of the zincblende seeds. The formation of the wurtzite phase is responsible for the halide-mediated displacement of oleate ligands, destabilizing the embryonic CdSe phase on the zincblende seeds enabling the phase transformation to more stable wurtzite phase on the hexagonal {111}-facets. On the basis of these halide-mediated phase transformation of CdSe nanocrystals and the persistent kinetic growth induced by the CPI approach, well-defined CdSe tetrapods with controlled arm length and diameter have been produced in large quantity.

The formation of supramolecular polymers has been unequivocally demonstrated by nuclear magnetic resonance, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry with traveling wave ion mobility separation, dielectric spectroscopy, and theology. The dynamical behaviors of this associating polymer generally conform to those of type-A polymers, with a low-frequency chain relaxation and a high-frequency alpha relaxation visible in both rheological and dielectric measurements. The dielectric chain relaxation shows the ideal symmetric Debye-like shape, resembling the peculiar features of hydrogen-bonding monoalcohols. Detailed analysis shows that there exists a weak decoupling between the mechanical terminal relaxation and dielectric Debye-like relaxation. The origin of the Debye-like dielectric relaxation is further discussed in the light of monoalcohols.

Film viscosities (eta(XPCS)) inferred from fits of the HCT to X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) data are the same as those measured in hulk rheometry (eta(bulk)) for three combs. For the comb most like a star polymer and the comb closest to showing bulk entanglement behavior, eta(XPCS) > eta(bulk). These discrepancies are much smaller than those seen for less densely branched polystyrenes. We conjecture that the smaller magnitude of eta(XPCS) - eta(bulk) for the densely grafted combs is due to a lack of interpenetration of the side chains when branching is most dense. Both T-g,T-bulk and the specific chain architecture play key roles in determining the surface fluctuations. C1 [Liu, Boxi; Foster, Mark D.] Univ Akron, Dept Polymer Sci, Akron, OH 44325 USA.

The data were collected by the HERMES experiment at the HERA storage ring using 27.6 GeV electron and positron beams incident on a hydrogen or deuterium gas target. The results are presented as a function of the kinematic quantities x(B), Q(2), z, and P-h perpendicular to. They represent a unique data set for identified hadrons that will significantly enhance our understanding of the fragmentation of quarks into final-state hadrons in deep-inelastic scattering.

The highly improved staggered quark formulation is used for the valence quarks, while the sea quarks are simulated with the asqtad action (MILC Collaboration N-f = 2 + 1 configurations). For the chiral and continuum extrapolation, we use two-loop continuum chi PT, supplemented by partially quenched staggered chi PT at one loop. Our result is f(+)(K pi)(0) = 0.9667 +/- 0.0023 +/- 0.0033, where the first error is statistical and the second is the sum in quadrature of the systematic uncertainties. This result is the first N-f = 2 + 1 calculation with two lattice spacings and a controlled continuum extrapolation. It is also the most precise result to date for the vector form factor, and, although the central value is larger than previous unquenched lattice calculations, it is compatible with them within errors. Combining our value for f(+)(K pi)(0) with the latest experimental measurements of K semileptonic decays, we obtain vertical bar V-us vertical bar = 0.2238 +/- 0.0009 +/- 0.0005, where the first error is from f(+)(K pi)(0) and the second one is experimental. As a byproduct of our calculation, we obtain the combination of low-energy constants (C-12(r) + C-34(r) + (L-5(r))(2))(M-rho) = (3.62 +/- 1.00) x 10(-6).

Our example case is an O-Ne-Mg core collapse supernova neutronization neutrino burst. We find that the addition of the halo neutrinos produces qualitative and quantitative changes in the final flavor states of neutrinos. We also find that the halo neutrinos produce a novel distortion of the neutrino flavor swap. Our results provide strong motivation for tackling the full multidimensional and composition-dependent aspects of this problem in the future.

This distorted kagome-lattice system displays a series of magnetic states and a quantum critical point at H-c = 4.5 T. The Lorenz ratio L(T)/L-0 displays a marked reduction only close to H-c. A T-linear contribution below 120 mK, present at all different fields, allows us to extrapolate the Lorenz ratio towards T = 0. At the critical field this yields L/L-0 = 0.92 +/- 0.03, suggesting a violation of the Wiedemann-Franz law due to strong inelastic scattering. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.110.176402 C1 [Dong, J.

The combination of absorption spectra scaled to the Henke atomic scattering factor database, the use of the doubly subtractive Kramers-Kronig relations, and high precision specular reflectivity measurements from thin films allow the notoriously difficult-to-measure delta to be determined with high accuracy. No independent knowledge of the film thickness or density is required. High confidence interpolation between relatively sparse measurements of delta across an absorption edge is achieved. Accurate optical constants determined by this method are expected to greatly improve the simulation and interpretation of resonant soft x-ray scattering and reflectivity data. The method is demonstrated using poly(methyl methacrylate) and should be extendable to all organic materials.

TI Maize Gene Atlas Developed by RNA Sequencing and Comparative Evaluation of Transcriptomes Based on RNA Sequencing and Microarrays SO PLOS ONE LA English DT Article ID ADP-GLUCOSE PYROPHOSPHORYLASE; GLYCINE-MAX; ZEA-MAYS; EXPRESSION; SEQ; LEAF; ENDOSPERM; GENOME; METHYLTRANSFERASE; DIFFERENTIATION AB Transcriptome analysis is a valuable tool for identification and characterization of genes and pathways underlying plant growth and development. We previously published a microarray-based maize gene atlas from the analysis of 60 unique spatially and temporally separated tissues from 11 maize organs [1]. To enhance the coverage and resolution of the maize gene atlas, we have analyzed 18 selected tissues representing five organs using RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq). For a direct comparison of the two methodologies, the same RNA samples originally used for our microarray-based atlas were evaluated using RNA-Seq. Both technologies produced similar transcriptome profiles as evident from high Pearson's correlation statistics ranging from 0.70 to 0.83, and from nearly identical clustering of the tissues. RNA-Seq provided enhanced coverage of the transcriptome, with 82.1% of the filtered maize genes detected as expressed in at least one tissue by RNA-Seq compared to only 56.5% detected by microarrays. Further, from the set of 465 maize genes that have been historically well characterized by mutant analysis, 427 show significant expression in at least one tissue by RNA-Seq compared to 390 by microarray analysis. RNA-Seq provided higher resolution for identifying tissue-specific expression as well as for distinguishing the expression profiles of closely related paralogs as compared to microarray-derived profiles. Co-expression analysis derived from the microarray and RNA-Seq data revealed that broadly similar networks result from both platforms, and that co-expression estimates are stable even when constructed from mixed data including both RNA-Seq and microarray expression data. The RNA-Seq information provides a useful complement to the microarray-based maize gene atlas and helps to further understand the dynamics of transcription during maize development.

TI Gauge fields from strain in graphene SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID ELECTRONIC-PROPERTIES; SUSPENDED GRAPHENE AB We revise the tight-binding approach to strained or curved graphene in the presence of external probes such as photoemission or scanning tunneling microscopy experiments. We show that extra terms arise in the continuum limit of the tight-binding Hamiltonian which cannot be accounted for by changes in the hopping parameters due to lattice deformations, encoded in the parameter beta. These material-independent extra couplings are of the same order of magnitude as the standard ones and have a geometric origin. They include corrections to the position-dependent Fermi velocity and to a new vector field. We show that the new vector field does not couple to electrons like a standard gauge field and that no beta-independent pseudomagnetic fields exist in strained graphene.

This is a rare experiment evidence of a halo formation mechanism. As the simulation predicts, the emittance measurements clearly show a visible halo reduction as well as a significant rms emittance reduction when the proposed round beam optics is employed. The emittance measurement results are consistent with multiparticle simulations and also consistent with wire scanner results.

TI Envelope model for passive magnetic focusing of an intense proton or ion beam propagating through thin foils SO PHYSICAL REVIEW SPECIAL TOPICS-ACCELERATORS AND BEAMS LA English DT Article ID LASER; ELECTRON; ACCELERATION; TARGETS AB Ion beams (including protons) with low emittance and high space-charge intensity can be propagated with normal incidence through a sequence of thin metallic foils separated by vacuum gaps of order the characteristic transverse beam extent to transport/collimate the beam or to focus it to a small transverse spot. Energetic ions have sufficient range to pass through a significant number of thin foils with little energy loss or scattering. The foils reduce the (defocusing) radial electric self-field of the beam while not altering the (focusing) azimuthal magnetic self-field of the beam, thereby allowing passive self-beam focusing if the magnetic field is sufficiently strong relative to the residual electric field. Here we present an envelope model developed to predict the strength of this passive (beam generated) focusing effect under a number of simplifying assumptions including relatively long pulse duration. The envelope model provides a simple criterion for the necessary foil spacing for net focusing and clearly illustrates system focusing properties for either beam collimation (such as injecting a laser-produced proton beam into an accelerator) or for magnetic pinch focusing to a small transverse spot (for beam driven heating of materials). An illustrative example is worked for an idealization of a recently performed laser-produced proton-beam experiment to provide guidance on possible beam focusing and collimation systems. It is found that foils spaced on the order of the characteristic transverse beam size desired can be employed and that envelope divergence of the initial beam entering the foil lens must be suppressed to limit the total number of foils required to practical values for pinch focusing. Relatively modest proton-beam current at 10 MeV kinetic energy can clearly demonstrate strong magnetic pinch focusing achieving a transverse rms extent similar to the foil spacing (20-50 mu m gaps) in beam propagation distances of tens of mm. This is a surprisingly optimistic result since placing many foils per characteristic beam radius, which one might expect to be necessary to strongly attenuate the self-electric field, would likely result in excessive scattering and loss of focusing from the current neutralization due to the beam propagating too far through solid metal. Results from the envelope model are compared with particle-in-cell simulations to help clarify limits related to envelope-model idealizations. Possible degradations of focusing in situations where strong halo can be generated and where pulse duration is short are clarified.

Nitrogen is expensive to produce and application of nitrogen increases the potent greenhouse gas NO,. Perennial bioenergy crops have been evaluated for biomass yields with nitrogen fertilization, location, year, and genotype as variables. Flowering time and dormancy are closely related to the N recycling program. Substantial variation for flowering time and dormancy has been identified in the switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) species, which provides a source to identify the genetic components of N recycling, and for use in breeding programs. Some studies have addressed recycling specifically, but flowering time and developmental differences were largely ignored, complicating interpretation of the results. Future studies on recycling need to appreciate plant developmental stage to allow comparison between experiments. A perennial/annual model(s) and more environmentally controlled experiments would be useful to determine the genetic components of nitrogen recycling. Increasing biomass yield per unit of nitrogen by maximizing recycling might mean the difference for profitability of a biofuel crop and has the added benefit of minimizing negative environmental effects from agriculture.

Results: The first terrestrial hyperthermophilic member of the Nanoarchaeota was collected from Obsidian Pool, a thermal feature in Yellowstone National Park, separated by single cell isolation, and sequenced together with its putative host, a Sulfolobales archaeon. Both the new Nanoarchaeota (Nst1) and N. equitans lack most biosynthetic capabilities, and phylogenetic analysis of ribosomal RNA and protein sequences indicates that the two form a deep-branching archaeal lineage. However, the Nst1 genome is more than 20% larger, and encodes a complete gluconeogenesis pathway as well as the full complement of archaeal flagellum proteins. With a larger genome, a smaller repertoire of split protein encoding genes and no split non-contiguous tRNAs, Nst1 appears to have experienced less severe genome reduction than N. equitans. These findings imply that, rather than representing ancestral characters, the extremely compact genomes and multiple split genes of Nanoarchaeota are derived characters associated with their symbiotic or parasitic lifestyle. The inferred host of Nst1 is potentially autotrophic, with a streamlined genome and simplified central and energetic metabolism as compared to other Sulfolobales. Conclusions: Comparison of the N. equitans and Nst1 genomes suggests that the marine and terrestrial lineages of Nanoarchaeota share a common ancestor that was already a symbiont of another archaeon. The two distinct Nanoarchaeota-host genomic data sets offer novel insights into the evolution of archaeal symbiosis and parasitism, enabling further studies of the cellular and molecular mechanisms of these relationships.

The experimental results reveal p-type doping in the diamond film through the appearance of states in the band-gap. Structure distortion was observed around the doping center, while the long range order of the diamond structure remains. A chemically shifted C 1s level explains why one of the absorption features seems to appear below the valence band maximum. An excitonic feature was observed in the boron-doped diamond, similar to that observed in pure diamond, indicating that the exciton binding energy remains the same upon B-doping.

Up to date, no experimental observations of diffusion have been made. We present experimental evidence of diffusion of PETN at nanoscale, as observed by UV-absorbance spectroscopy. As a result of thermal gradient, non-isothermal heating of continuous PETN nanofilms results in an initial increased absorbance at ambient temperatures indicating thickness increase due to coarsening, followed by absorbance decease due to film sublimation at relatively higher temperatures. Diffusion kinetics of PETN is measured both isothermally and non-isothermally and the results are in very good agreement.

Film orientation and phase were assessed using reflection high-energy electron and X-ray diffraction. Films were observed to grow as predominantly hexagonal La2O3 for thicknesses less than 10 nm while film thickness greater than 10 nm favored mixed cubic and hexagonal symmetries. Band offsets were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy on hexagonally symmetric films and valence band offsets of 0.63 +/- 0.04 eV at the La2O3/GaN interface were measured. A conduction band offset of approximately 1.5 eV could be inferred from the measured valence band offset.

TI Effects of sodium incorporation in Co-evaporated Cu2ZnSnSe4 thin-film solar cells SO APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS LA English DT Article ID HOLE TRANSPORT; EFFICIENCY; POLYCRYSTALLINE; CZTS; NA AB Sodium incorporation into Cu2ZnSnSe4 (CZTSe) substantially improves the device efficiency by enhancing the open-circuit voltage (V-OC) and fill factor. Sodium increases hole density, makes the acceptor shallower, shifts the Fermi level lower, and leads to higher built-in voltage and, consequently, higher V-OC. Sodium reduces the concentration of certain deep recombination centers, which further benefits V-OC. The increase of hole density and mobility enhances the CZTSe conductivity leading to higher fill factor. Sodium causes smaller depletion width, hence, lower short-circuit current. The minority-carrier lifetime decreases slightly after sodium is incorporated via the Mo-coated soda-lime glass, although adding NaF provides some amelioration. (C) 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.

An abrupt decrease of thermal conductivity was found at about 400K, which is attributed to the microstructure change of Zn4Sb3. Nanoscale inclusions and compositional inhomogeneities were found in Zn4Sb3 sample at 473K by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The phonon scattering is enhanced by increasing grain boundaries and chaotic structure, which reduces the thermal conductivity and increases the thermoelectric performance of Zn4Sb3 at elevated temperature. The Rietveld refinement results show that large ZnSb grains in ZnSb-containing samples will accommodate excess Zn atoms, and then reduce thermoelectric performance.

TI Patterned Collagen Fibers Orient Branching Mammary Epithelium through Distinct Signaling Modules SO CURRENT BIOLOGY LA English DT Article ID EXTRACELLULAR-MATRIX; GLAND DEVELOPMENT; CELL-MIGRATION; MORPHOGENESIS; RAC; DIFFERENTIATION; MESENCHYME; EXPRESSION; ALIGNMENT; INTEGRIN AB For decades, the work of cell and developmental biologists has demonstrated the striking ability of the mesenchyme and the stroma to instruct epithelial form and function in the mammary gland [1-3], but the role of extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules in mammary pattern specification has not been elucidated. Here, we show that stromal collagen I (Col-I) fibers in the mammary fat pad are axially oriented prior to branching morphogenesis. Upon puberty, the branching epithelium orients along these fibers, thereby adopting a similar axial bias. To establish a causal relationship from Col-I fiber to epithelial orientation, we embedded mammary organoids within axially oriented Col-I fiber gels and observed dramatic epithelial co-orientation. Whereas a constitutively active form of Rac1, a molecule implicated in cell motility, prevented a directional epithelial response to Col-I fiber orientation, inhibition of the RhoA/Rho-associated kinase (ROCK) pathway did not. However, time-lapse studies revealed that, within randomly oriented Col-1 matrices, the epithelium axially aligns fibers at branch sites via RhoA/ROCK-mediated contractions. Our data provide an explanation for how the stromal ECM encodes architectural cues for branch orientation as well as how the branching epithelium interprets and reinforces these cues through distinct signaling processes.

TI Tabletop single-shot extreme ultraviolet Fourier transform holography of an extended object SO OPTICS EXPRESS LA English DT Article ID X-RAY HOLOGRAPHY; MICROSCOPY; RESOLUTION; LASER; NM AB We demonstrate single and multi-shot Fourier transform holography with the use of a tabletop extreme ultraviolet laser. The reference wave was produced by a Fresnel zone plate with a central opening that allowed the incident beam to illuminate the sample directly. The high reference wave intensity allows for larger objects to be imaged compared to mask-based lensless Fourier transform holography techniques. We obtain a spatial resolution of 169 nm from a single laser pulse and a resolution of 128 nm from an accumulation of 20 laser pulses for an object similar to 11x11 mu m(2) in size. This experiment utilized a tabletop extreme ultraviolet laser that produces a highly coherent similar to 1.2 ns laser pulse at 46.9 nm wavelength.

TI Complex role for thallium in PbTe: Tl from local probe studies SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID SCATTERING AB When PbTe, a good thermoelectricmaterial, is doped with a few percent Tl, the figure of merit ZT = T S-2/(rho kappa) [S is the Seebeck coefficient, rho the electrical resistivity, and. the thermal conductivity] is dramatically improved. The maximum value of ZT occurs for approximately 2% Tl, but the factors limiting ZT are as yet poorly understood. From a detailed local structure study of PbTe: Tl using the extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) technique, we find that Tl substitutes primarily as Tl(+ 1) on the Pb site, with no evidence for any solubility issue, any significant fraction of Tl(+ 3), or any Tl interstitials. However it is not a simple substitution as there is evidence for increasing Te vacancies on neighboring sites with increasing Tl concentration, x. In addition there is also increasing disorder with x-Tl-Te bond length disorder as well as the vacancy defects-that will scatter the hole carriers and begin to increase the electrical resistivity in spite of an increase in hole concentration. This increased disorder is likely an important factor limiting ZT. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevB.87.144104 C1 [Keiber, T.; Bridges, F.] Univ Calif Santa Cruz, Dept Phys, Santa Cruz, CA 95064 USA. [Sales, B.

TI Magnetic and crystal structures of Sr2IrO4: A neutron diffraction study SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID POWDER DIFFRACTION AB We report a single-crystal neutron diffraction study of the layered Sr2IrO4. This work unambiguously determines the magnetic structure of the system and reveals that the spin orientation rigidly tracks the staggered rotation of the IrO6 octahedra in Sr2IrO4. The long-range antiferromagnetic order has a canted spin configuration with an ordered moment of 0.208(3) mu(B)/Ir site within the basal plane; a detailed examination of the spin canting yields 0.202(3) and 0.049(2) mu B/site for the a axis and the b axis, respectively. It is intriguing that forbidden nuclear reflections of space group I4(1)/acd are also observed in a wide temperature range from 4 K to 600 K, which suggests a reduced crystal structure symmetry. This neutron-scattering work provides a direct, well-refined experimental characterization of the magnetic and crystal structures that are crucial to the understanding of the unconventional magnetism exhibited in this unusual magnetic insulator.

TI Measurement of the reaction O-17(alpha,n)Ne-20 and its impact on the s process in massive stars SO PHYSICAL REVIEW C LA English DT Article ID THERMONUCLEAR REACTION-RATES; PROCESS NUCLEOSYNTHESIS; LOW-METALLICITY; NEUTRON SOURCE; V51(P,N)CR51 REACTION; STELLAR EVOLUTION; CROSS-SECTIONS; ROTATING STARS; ENERGY-LEVELS; NE-21 AB Background: The ratio between the rates of the reactions O-17(alpha,n)Ne-20 and O-17(alpha,gamma)Ne-21 determines whether O-16 is an efficient neutron poison for the s process in massive stars, or if most of the neutrons captured by O-16(n,gamma) are recycled into the stellar environment. This ratio is of particular relevance to constrain the s process yields of fast rotating massive stars at low metallicity. Purpose: Recent results on the (alpha,gamma) channel have made it necessary to measure the (alpha,n) reaction more precisely and investigate the effect of the new data on s process nucleosynthesis in massive stars. Method: The O-17(alpha, n((0+1))) reaction has been measured with a moderating neutron detector. In addition, the (alpha, n(1)) channel has been measured independently by observation of the characteristic 1633 keV gamma transition in Ne-20. The reaction cross section was determined with a simultaneous R-matrix fit to both channels. (alpha, n) and (alpha, gamma) resonance strengths of states lying below the covered energy range were estimated using their known properties from the literature. Result: The reaction channels O-17(alpha, n(0))Ne-20 and O-17(alpha, n(1)gamma)Ne-20 were measured in the energy range E-alpha = 800 keV to 2300 keV. A new O-17(alpha, n) reaction rate was deduced for the temperature range 0.1 GK to 10 GK. At typical He burning temperatures, the combination of the new (alpha, n) rate with a previously measured (alpha,gamma) rate gives approximately the same ratio as current compilations. The influence on the nucleosynthesis of the s process in massive stars at low metallicity is discussed. Conclusions: It was found that in He burning conditions the (alpha,gamma) channel is strong enough to compete with the neutron channel. This leads to a less efficient neutron recycling compared to a previous suggestion of a very weak (alpha,gamma) channel. S process calculations using our rates confirm that massive rotating stars do play a significant role in the production of elements up to Sr, but they strongly reduce the s process contribution to heavier elements.

TI Universal properties of infrared oscillator basis extrapolations SO PHYSICAL REVIEW C LA English DT Article ID EFFECTIVE-FIELD-THEORY; CORE SHELL-MODEL; FINITE-VOLUME AB Recent work has shown that a finite harmonic oscillator basis in nuclear many-body calculations effectively imposes a hard-wall boundary condition in coordinate space, motivating infrared extrapolation formulas for the energy and other observables. Here we further refine these formulas by studying two-body models and the deuteron. We accurately determine the box size as a function of the model space parameters, and compute scattering phase shifts in the harmonic oscillator basis. We show that the energy shift can be well approximated in terms of the asymptotic normalization coefficient and the bound-state momentum, discuss higher-order corrections for weakly bound systems, and illustrate this universal property using unitarily equivalent calculations of the deuteron.

The results are based on seven gauge field ensembles with two dynamical light chirally improved quarks corresponding to pion masses between 255 and 596 MeV and a strange valence quark with mass fixed by the Omega baryon. The lattice spacing varies between 0.1324 and 0.1398 fm. Given in lattice units, the bulk of our results are for size 16(3) x 32; for two ensembles with light pion masses (255 and 330 MeV) we also use 24(3) x 48 lattices and perform an infinite volume extrapolation. We derive energy levels for the spin 1/2 and 3/2 channels for both parities. In general, our results in the infinite volume limit compare well with experiment. We analyze the flavor symmetry content by identifying the singlet/octet/decuplet contributions of the resulting eigenstates. The ground states' compositions agree with quark model expectations. In some cases the excited states, however, disagree and we discuss possible reasons. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevD.87.074504 C1 [Engel, Georg P.; Lang, C.

TI Improved determination of heavy quarkonium magnetic dipole transitions in potential nonrelativistic QCD SO PHYSICAL REVIEW D LA English DT Article ID QUANTUM CHROMODYNAMICS; PERTURBATIVE QCD; FIELD-THEORIES; SUM-RULES; SPECTROSCOPY; CHARMONIUM; DECAYS; J/PSI; ORDER; NRQCD AB We compute the magnetic dipole transitions between low-lying heavy quarkonium states in a model-independent way. We use the weak-coupling version of the effective field theory named potential nonrelativistic QCD, with the static potential exactly incorporated in the leading order Hamiltonian. The precision we reach is k(gamma)(3)/m(2) x O(alpha(2)(s), nu(2)) and k(gamma)(3)/m(2) x O(nu(4)) for the allowed and forbidden transitions, respectively, where k(gamma) is the photon energy. We also resum the large logarithms associated with the heavy quark mass scale. The specific transitions considered in this paper are the following: Y(1S)->eta(b)(1S)gamma, J/psi(1S)->eta(c)(1S)gamma, h(b)(1P)->chi(b0,1) (1P)gamma, chi(b2)(1P)-> h(b)(1P)gamma, Y(2S)->eta(b)(2S)gamma, Y(2S)->eta(b)(1S)gamma and eta(b)(2S)-> Y(1S)gamma. The effect of the new power counting is found to be large, and the exact treatment of the soft logarithms of the static potential makes the factorization scale dependence much smaller. The convergence for the b (b) over bar ground state is quite good, and also quite reasonable for the c (c) over bar ground state and the b (b) over bar 1P state. For all of them we give solid predictions. For the 2S decays the situation is less conclusive, yet our results are perfectly consistent with existing data, as the previous disagreement with experiment for the Y(2S)->eta(b)(1S)gamma decay fades away. We also compute some expectation values like the electromagnetic radius, < r(2)>, or < p(2)>. We find < r(2)> to be nicely convergent in all cases, whereas the convergence of < p(2)> is typically worse.

CA MINOS Collaboration TI Electron Neutrino and Antineutrino Appearance in the Full MINOS Data Sample SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article ID LEPTON CHARGE AB We report on v(e) and (v) over bar (e) appearance in v(mu) and (v) over bar (mu) beams using the full MINOS data sample. The comparison of these v(e) and (v) over bar (e) appearance data at a 735 km baseline with theta(13) measurements by reactor experiments probes delta, the theta(23) octant degeneracy, and the mass hierarchy. This analysis is the first use of this technique and includes the first accelerator long-baseline search for (v) over bar (mu) -> (v) over bar (e). Our data disfavor 31% (5%) of the three-parameter space defined by delta, the octant of the theta(23), and the mass hierarchy at the 68% (90%) C.L. We measure a value of 2sin(2)(2 theta(13))sin(2)(theta(23)) that is consistent with reactor experiments. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.110.171801 C1 [Anghel, I.; Goodman, M.

TI Fully Differential Single-Photon Double Ionization of Neon and Argon SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article ID DOUBLE PHOTOIONIZATION; CROSS-SECTIONS; HELIUM; DEPENDENCE; ENERGY AB Triply differential cross sections are calculated for one-photon double ionization of neon and argon at various photon energies and electron energy sharings by using a frozen-core treatment to represent the remaining electrons of the residual ion. Angular distributions agree well with all existing experimental data, showing that in spite of its simplicity the method can treat the double ionization of complex targets reliably. A comparison of the cross sections for helium, neon, and argon into the same final state symmetry at the same relative excess energies reveals a distinctive signature of the role of electron correlation in each target.

VG sheets are directly grown on the sensor electrode using a plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) method and function as the sensing channel. The protein detection is accomplished through measuring changes in the electrical signal from the FET sensor upon the antibody-antigen binding. The novel biosensor with unique graphene morphology shows high sensitivity (down to similar to 2 ng/ml or 13 pM) and selectivity towards specific proteins. The PECVD growth of VG presents a one-step and reliable approach to prepare graphene-based electronic biosensors.

In semiconductor heterostructure nanocrystals, however, intraband relaxation can be inhibited to the point where recombination occurs primarily from an excited state. We demonstrate this effect using time-resolved optical measurements of CdSe/CdS core/shell nanorods. For nanorods with large CdSe cores, an electron photoexcited into the lowest-energy state in the core remains in the core, and an electron photoexcited into an excited state in the CdS shell remains in the shell, until the electron recombines with the hole. This provides a means of controlling the spatial location of photoexcited electrons by excitation energy. The control over electron localization is explained in terms of slow relaxation into the lowest-energy electron state in the nanorods, on time scales slower than electron-hole recombination. The observation of inhibited relaxation suggests that a simple picture of band alignment is insufficient for understanding charge separation in semiconductor heterostructures.

TI Intensity and wavelength dependence of bimolecular recombination in P3HT:PCBM solar cells: A white-light biased external quantum efficiency study SO JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID OPEN-CIRCUIT VOLTAGE; PHOTOVOLTAIC DEVICES; SPECTRAL RESPONSIVITY; PHOTODETECTORS; PERFORMANCE; MORPHOLOGY; BLENDS AB Bimolecular recombination is often a major photogenerated charge carrier loss mechanism in organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices, resulting in lower fill factor (FF) compared to inorganic devices. The recombination parameter alpha can be obtained from the power law fitting of short-circuit current (J(sc)) on illumination intensity (I), J(sc) alpha I-alpha, with alpha values less than unity taken as an indication of reduced photon-to-electron extraction efficiency and the presence of bimolecular recombination in OPV. Here, we show that this intensity-averaged measurement is inadequate. An external quantum efficiency (EQE) apparatus under constant white-light bias can be used to measure the recombination parameter (alpha(EQE*)) as a function of wavelength and carrier density (white-light intensity). Examining the dependence of alpha on background white-light bias intensity and excitation wavelength provides further understanding of photon-to-electron conversion loss mechanisms in P3HT:PCBM bulk heterojunction devices in standard and inverted architectures. In order to compare EQE and current-voltage (JV) measurements, we discuss the special case of devices exhibiting sub-linear intensity response (alpha < 1). Furthermore, we demonstrate several important advantages of the white-light biased EQE method of measuring bimolecular recombination compared to existing methods, including sensitivity in probing intensity-dependent recombination compared to steady-state JV measurements, the correlation of alpha(EQE*) and FF in devices, elucidation of recombination mechanisms through spectral dependence of carrier loss, and the robustness of alpha(EQE*) obtained via integration over the entire absorption region. Furthermore, this technique for measuring recombination is immediately accessible to the vast majority of researchers as the EQE apparatus is ubiquitous in PV research laboratories.

Strong magnetic coupling exists between the LSMO and LSCO layers such that the magnetic domains in both layers have similar size and shape, and they flip their magnetization simultaneously. While 10 u.c. LSCO thin films show no evidence of ferromagnetism, the LSCO layer in the superlattice remains ferromagnetic. Such a modification of magnetic properties is proposed to occur due to strong correlations between the layers along the c-axis of the superlattice.

TI Plasmon-induced optical field enhancement studied by correlated scanning and photoemission electron microscopy SO JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID SINGLE AU NANORODS; PHOTOELECTRON EMISSION; ELECTROMAGNETIC-FIELD; METAL NANOSTRUCTURES; RAMAN-SCATTERING; NEAR-FIELD; SURFACE; SILVER; SPECTROSCOPY; DYNAMICS AB We use multi-photon photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM) to image the enhanced electric fields of silver nanoparticles supported on a silver thin film substrate. Electromagnetic field enhancement is measured by comparing the photoelectron yield of the nanoparticles with respect to the photoelectron yield of the surrounding silver thin film. We investigate the dependence of the photoelectron yield of the nanoparticle as a function of size and shape. Multi-photon PEEM results are presented for three average nanoparticle diameters: 34, 75, and 122 nm. The enhancement in photoelectron yield of single nanoparticles illuminated with femtosecond laser pulses (400 nm, similar to 3.1 eV) is found to be a factor of 10(2) to 10(3) times greater than that produced by the flat silver thin film. High-resolution, multi-photon PEEM images of single silver nanoparticles reveal that the greatest enhancement in photoelectron yield is localized at distinct regions near the surface of the nanoparticle whose magnitude and spatial extent is dependent on the incident electric field polarization. In conjunction with correlated scanning electron microscopy (SEM), nanoparticles that deviate from nominally spherical shapes are found to exhibit irregular spatial distributions in the multi-photon PEEM images that are correlated with the unique shape and topology of the nanoparticle.

TI alpha-helix to beta-hairpin transition of human amylin monomer SO JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID ISLET AMYLOID POLYPEPTIDE; MOLECULAR-DYNAMICS SIMULATIONS; FIBRIL FORMATION; FORCE-FIELD; FOLDING SIMULATIONS; DIABETES-MELLITUS; FULL-LENGTH; PROTEIN; PEPTIDES; STATES AB The human islet amylin polypeptide is produced along with insulin by pancreatic islets. Under some circumstances, amylin can aggregate to form amyloid fibrils, whose presence in pancreatic cells is a common pathological feature of Type II diabetes. A growing body of evidence indicates that small, early stage aggregates of amylin are cytotoxic. A better understanding of the early stages of the amylin aggregation process and, in particular, of the nucleation events leading to fibril growth could help identify therapeutic strategies. Recent studies have shown that, in dilute solution, human amylin can adopt an alpha-helical conformation, a beta-hairpin conformation, or an unstructured coil conformation. While such states have comparable free energies, the beta-hairpin state exhibits a large propensity towards aggregation. In this work, we present a detailed computational analysis of the folding pathways that arise between the various conformational states of human amylin in water. A free energy surface for amylin in explicit water is first constructed by resorting to advanced sampling techniques. Extensive transition path sampling simulations are then employed to identify the preferred folding mechanisms between distinct minima on that surface. Our results reveal that the alpha-helical conformer of amylin undergoes a transformation into the beta-hairpin monomer through one of two mechanisms. In the first, misfolding begins through formation of specific contacts near the turn region, and proceeds via a zipping mechanism. In the second, misfolding occurs through an unstructured coil intermediate. The transition states for these processes are identified. Taken together, the findings presented in this work suggest that the inter-conversion of amylin between an alpha-helix and a beta-hairpin is an activated process and could constitute the nucleation event for fibril growth.

Here we present accurate measurements of the neutron detection efficiency of an unenriched 640 nm thick boron carbide solid state neutron detector grown by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition as a function of the neutron wavelength at a time-of-flight facility. The data were compared to that obtained simultaneously by a calibrated nitrogen detector over the same wavelength range. The measured spectra of both detectors fit a Maxwell-Boltzmann wavelength distribution, thereby indicating that the boron carbide detector can be used as a reliable beam monitor. Measurements of the material properties (density, thickness and elemental composition) of the semiconducting boron carbide enable a precise calculation of the ideal expected neutron detection efficiency. The calculated neutron detection efficiency for the effective moderator temperature (obtained from a fit to the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution) showed excellent agreement with the experimentally determined neutron detection efficiency of 1.25%. Higher efficiencies may be obtained either by increased film thickness and/or 100% B-10 enrichment of the boron carbide source molecule. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

TI Water calibration measurements for neutron radiography: Application to water content quantification in porous media SO NUCLEAR INSTRUMENTS & METHODS IN PHYSICS RESEARCH SECTION A-ACCELERATORS SPECTROMETERS DETECTORS AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT LA English DT Article DE Neutron radiography; Water calibration; Quantification; Porous media ID X-RAY-ABSORPTION; SOIL-WATER; SCATTERING CORRECTIONS; TOMOGRAPHY; FLOW AB Using neutron radiography, the measurement of water thickness was performed using aluminum (Al) water calibration cells at the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HEIR) Cold-Guide (CG) 1D neutron imaging facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, TN, USA. Calibration of water thickness is an important step to accurately measure water contents in samples of interest. Neutron attenuation by water does not vary linearly with thickness mainly due to beam hardening and scattering effects. Transmission measurements for known water thicknesses in water calibration cells allow proper correction of the underestimation of water content due to these effects. As anticipated, strong scattering effects were observed for water thicknesses greater than 0.2 cm when the water calibration cells were positioned close to the face of the detector/scintillator (0 and 2.4 cm away, respectively). The water calibration cells were also positioned 24 cm away from the detector face. These measurements resulted in less scattering and this position (designated as the sample position) was used for the subsequent experimental determination of the neutron attenuation coefficient for water. Neutron radiographic images of moist Flint sand in rectangular and cylindrical containers acquired at the sample position were used to demonstrate the applicability of the water calibration. Cumulative changes in the water volumes within the sand columns during monotonic drainage determined by neutron radiography were compared with those recorded by direct reading from a burette connected to a hanging water column. In general, the neutron radiography data showed very good agreement with those obtained volumetrically using the hanging water-column method. These results allow extension of the calibration equation to the quantification of unknown water contents within other samples of porous media. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

TI Performance of pixelated CZT detectors as a function of pixel and steering grid layout SO NUCLEAR INSTRUMENTS & METHODS IN PHYSICS RESEARCH SECTION A-ACCELERATORS SPECTROMETERS DETECTORS AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT LA English DT Article DE CdZnTe (CZT); Semiconductor detector; Hard X-ray astronomy; Pixelization; Performance; Steering grid ID CDZNTE; ARRAYS AB CdZnTe (CZT) is a wide band-gap II-VI semiconductor and can be used as detector for hard X-rays in astronomical instrumentation and for medical applications. Angular and energy resolutions, as well as detection efficiencies are crucial parameters to characterize the performance of CZT detectors. We studied the detector performance as a function of the geometrical layout of the anode pixel matrix for two 2 x 2 cm(2) CZT detectors with thicknesses of 2 mm and 5 mm, respectively. We varied the pixel sizes as well as their relative distances and quantified the energy resolutions and detection efficiencies. We also studied how a steering grid located between pixels affects the energy resolution and detection rate. The results of the study are presented and suggest that a steering grid substantially improves the high-energy performance of thin detectors-whereas thick detectors mainly benefit from larger pixel widths.

It is a prototype of the planned NEXT-100 Xe-136 neutrino-less double beta decay (0 nu beta beta) experiment with the main objectives of demonstrating near-intrinsic energy resolution at energies up to 662 keV and of optimizing the NEXT-100 detector design and operating parameters. Energy resolutions of similar to 1% FWHM for 662 keV gamma rays were obtained at 10 and 15 atm and similar to 5% FWHM for 30 keV fluorescence xenon X-rays. These results demonstrate that 0.5% FWHM resolutions for the 2459 keV hypothetical neutrino-less double beta decay peak are realizable. This energy resolution is a factor 7-20 better than that of the current leading 0 nu beta beta experiments using liquid xenon and thus represents a significant advancement. We present also first results from a track imaging system consisting of 64 silicon photo-multipliers recently installed in NEXT-DBDM that, along with the excellent energy resolution, demonstrates the key functionalities required for the NEXT-100 0 nu beta beta search.

TI Enhanced SO2 concentrations observed over northern India: role of long-range transport SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF REMOTE SENSING LA English DT Article ID SOLAR ULTRAVIOLET-RADIATION; OZONE MONITORING INSTRUMENT; SULFUR-DIOXIDE; AIR-POLLUTION; ATMOSPHERE; CLIMATE; DISTRIBUTIONS; VARIABILITY; DEPOSITION; PARTICLES AB The combustion of fossil fuels (coal and petroleum products) constitutes a source of continuous release of anthropogenic SO2 into the atmosphere. Furthermore, natural sources such as volcanoes can inject large amounts of SO2 directly into the troposphere and sometimes even into the stratosphere. These event-based volcanic eruptions provide solitary opportunities to study the transport and transformation of atmospheric constituents. In this study, we present an episode of high SO2 concentration over northern India as a result of long-range transport from Africa using multiple satellite observations. Monthly averaged column SO2 values over the Indo-Gangetic Plain (IGP) were observed in the range of 0.60.9 Dobson units (DU) during November 2008 using observations from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI). These concentrations were conspicuously higher than the background concentrations (<0.3 DU) observed during 20052010 over this region. The columnar SO2 loadings were highest on 6 November over most of the IGP region and even exceeded 6 DU, a factor of 1020 higher than background levels in some places. These enhanced SO2 levels were not reciprocated in satellite-derived NO2 or CO columns, indicating transport from a non-anthropogenic SO2 source. As most of the local aerosols over the IGP region occur below 3 km, a well-separated layer at 45 km was observed from the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) satellite. Wind fields and back-trajectory analysis revealed a strong flow originating from the Dalaffilla volcanic eruption in Ethiopia during 46 November 2008. Although volcanic SO2 plumes have been extensively studied over many parts of Asia, Europe, and the USA, analysis of such events for the IGP region is being reported for the first time in this study.

TI A NEW MILKY WAY HALO STAR CLUSTER IN THE SOUTHERN GALACTIC SKY SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE galaxies: dwarf; globular clusters: general; Local Group ID GLOBULAR-CLUSTERS; LUMINOSITY FUNCTION; DWARF GALAXY; SATELLITES; DISCOVERY; SAGITTARIUS; POPULATIONS; CLOUD; RADII; CORE AB We report on the discovery of a new Milky Way (MW) companion stellar system located at (alpha(J2000), delta(J2000)) = (22(h)10(m)43(s).15, 14 degrees 56'58 ''.8). The discovery was made using the eighth data release of SDSS after applying an automated method to search for overdensities in the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey footprint. Follow-up observations were performed using Canada-France-Hawaii-Telescope/MegaCam, which reveal that this system is comprised of an old stellar population, located at a distance of 31.9(-1.6)(+1.0) kpc, with a half-light radius of r(h) = 7.24(-1.29)(+1.94) pc and a concentration parameter of c = log(10)(r(t)/r(c)) = 1.55. A systematic isochrone fit to its color-magnitude diagram resulted in log (age yr(-1)) = 10.07(-0.03)(+0.05) and [Fe/H] = -1.58(-0.13)(+0.08). These quantities are typical of globular clusters in the MW halo. The newly found object is of low stellar mass, whose observed excess relative to the background is caused by 95 +/- 6 stars. The direct integration of its background decontaminated luminosity function leads to an absolute magnitude of M-V = -1.21 +/- 0.66. The resulting surface brightness is mu V = 25.90 mag arcsec(-2). Its position in the MV versus r(h) diagram lies close to AM4 and Koposov 1, which are identified as star clusters. The object is most likely a very faint star cluster-one of the faintest and lowest mass systems yet identified. C1 [Balbinot, E.; Santiago, B.

We focus on the projected two-point correlation function (2PCF) of subsets of its CMASS sample, which includes about 260,000 galaxies over similar to 3300 deg(2) in the redshift range 0.43 < z < 0.7. To minimize the selection effect on galaxy clustering, we construct well-defined luminosity and color subsamples by carefully accounting for the CMASS galaxy selection cuts. The 2PCF of the whole CMASS sample, if approximated by a power-law, has a correlation length of r(0) = 7.93 +/- 0.06 h(-1) Mpc and an index of gamma = 1.85 +/- 0.01. Clear dependences on galaxy luminosity and color are found for the projected 2PCF in all redshift bins, with more luminous and redder galaxies generally exhibiting stronger clustering and steeper 2PCF. The color dependence is also clearly seen for galaxies within the red sequence, consistent with the behavior of SDSS-II main sample galaxies at lower redshifts. At a given luminosity (k + e corrected), no significant evolution of the projected 2PCFs with redshift is detected for red sequence galaxies. We also construct galaxy samples of fixed number density at different redshifts, using redshiftdependent magnitude thresholds. The clustering of these galaxies in the CMASS redshift range is found to be consistent with that predicted by passive evolution. Our measurements of the luminosity and color dependence and redshift evolution of galaxy clustering will allow for detailed modeling of the relation between galaxies and dark matter halos and new constraints on galaxy formation and evolution.

At 1 ''.5 resolution, the ALMA data reveal multiple images of each submillimeter source, separated by 1 ''-3 '', consistent with strong lensing by intervening galaxies visible in near-IR imaging of these sources. We describe a gravitational lens modeling procedure that operates on the measured visibilities and incorporates self-calibration-like antenna phase corrections as part of the model optimization, which we use to interpret the source structure. Lens models indicate that SPT0346-52, located at z = 5.7, is one of the most luminous and intensely star-forming sources in the universe with a lensing corrected FIR luminosity of 3.7 x 10(13) L circle dot and star formation surface density of 4200M circle dot yr(-1) kpc(-2). We find magnification factors of 5 to 22, with lens Einstein radii of 1 ''.1-2 ''.0 and Einstein enclosed masses of 1.6-7.2 x 10(11)M circle dot. These observations confirm the lensing origin of these objects, allow us to measure their intrinsic sizes and luminosities, and demonstrate the important role that ALMA will play in the interpretation of lensed submillimeter sources.

One "bright" feature in the sky is the interstellar wind flowing into the solar system. Composed of remnants of stellar explosions as well as primordial gas and plasma, the ISM is by no means uniform. The interaction of the local ISM with the solar wind shapes our heliospheric environment with hydrogen being the dominant component of the very local ISM. In this paper, we report on direct sampling of the neutral hydrogen of the local ISM over four years of IBEX observations. The hydrogen wind observed at 1 AU has decreased and nearly disappeared as the solar activity has increased over the last four years; the signal at 1 AU has dropped off in 2012 by a factor of similar to 8 to near background levels. The longitudinal offset has also increased with time presumably due to greater radiation pressure deflecting the interstellar wind. We present longitudinal and latitudinal arrival direction measurements of the bulk flow as measured over four years beginning at near solar minimum conditions. The H distribution we observe at 1 AU is expected to be different from that outside the heliopause due to ionization, photon pressure, gravity, and filtration by interactions with heliospheric plasma populations. These observations provide an important benchmark for modeling of the global heliospheric interaction. Based on these observations we suggest a further course of scientific action to observe neutral hydrogen over a full solar cycle with IBEX.

Magnetic field lines separate faster than diffusively in turbulent plasma, which is called superdiffusion. We discovered that this superdiffusion is pronouncedly asymmetric, so that the separation of field lines along the magnetic field direction is different from the separation in the opposite direction. While the symmetry of the flow is broken by the so-called imbalance or cross-helicity, the difference between forward and backward diffusion is not directly due to imbalance, but a non-trivial consequence of both imbalance and non-reversibility of turbulence. The asymmetric diffusion perpendicular to the mean magnetic field entails a variety of new physical phenomena, such as the production of parallel particle streaming in the presence of perpendicular particle gradients. Such streaming and associated instabilities could be significant for particle transport in laboratory, space, and astrophysical plasmas. C1 Los Alamos Natl Lab, Los Alamos, NM 87545 USA.

CA NuGrid Collaboration TI PRODUCTION OF CARBON-RICH PRESOLAR GRAINS FROM MASSIVE STARS SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LETTERS LA English DT Article DE stars: abundances; stars: evolution; stars: interiors ID ISOTOPIC-RATIOS; SUPERNOVA; EJECTA; NUCLEOSYNTHESIS; EVOLUTION AB About a year after core-collapse supernova, dust starts to condense in the ejecta. In meteorites, a fraction of C-rich presolar grains (e.g., silicon carbide (SiC) grains of Type-X and lowdensity graphites) are identified as relics of these events, according to the anomalous isotopic abundances. Several features of these abundances remain unexplained and challenge the understanding of core-collapse supernovae explosions and nucleosynthesis. We show, for the first time, that most of the measured C-rich grain abundances can be accounted for in the C-rich material from explosive He burning in core-collapse supernovae with high shock velocities and consequent high temperatures. The inefficiency of the C-12(alpha,gamma)O-16 reaction relative to the rest of the alpha-capture chain at T > 3.5 x 10(8) K causes the deepest He-shell material to be carbon-rich and silicon-rich, and depleted in oxygen. The isotopic ratio predictions in part of this material, defined here as the C/Si zone, are in agreement with the grain data. The high-temperature explosive conditions that our models reach at the bottom of the He shell can also be representative of the nucleosynthesis in hypernovae or in the high-temperature tail of a distribution of conditions in asymmetric supernovae. Finally, our predictions are consistent with the observation of large Ca-44/Ca-40 observed in the grains. This is due to the production of Ti-44 together with Ca-40 in the C/Si zone and/or to the strong depletion of Ca-40 by neutron captures.

RCB stars are rare hydrogen-deficient, carbon-rich supergiant variables, most likely the merger products of two white dwarfs. These new RCBs, including two confirmed ones and two candidates, are the first to be found beyond the Milky Way and the Magellanic Clouds. All of M31 RCBs showed > 1.5 mag irregular declines over timescales of weeks to months. Due to the limiting magnitude of our data (R approximate to 21-22 mag), these RCB stars have R approximate to 19.5-20.5 mag at maximum light, corresponding to M-R = -4 to -5, making them some of the most luminous RCBs known. Spectra of two objects show that they are warm RCBs, similar to the Milky Way RCBs RY Sgr and V854 Cen. We consider these results, derived from a pilot study of M31 variables, as an important proof-of-concept for the study of rare bright variables in nearby galaxies with the PTF or other synoptic surveys.

The application of AMG methods promises optimal scalability for solving large linear systems. However, the straightforward (or black-box') use of existing AMG techniques for extended finite element method problems is often problematic. In this paper, we highlight the reasons for this behavior and propose a relatively simple adaptation that allows one to leverage existing AMG software mostly unchanged. Numerical tests demonstrate that optimal iterative convergence rates can be attained that are comparable with AMG convergence rates associated with linear systems for standard finite element approximations without discontinuities.

Mandrus, David TI Magnetism and electronic structure of La2ZnIrO6 and La2MgIrO6: Candidate J(eff)=1/2 Mott insulators SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID CRYSTAL-STRUCTURES; SR2IRO4; TRANSITION; STATE; ZN AB We study experimentally and theoretically the electronic and magnetic properties of two insulating double perovskites that show similar atomic and electronic structure but different magnetic properties. In magnetization measurements, La2ZnIrO6 displays weak ferromagnetic behavior below 7.5 K, whereas La2MgIrO6 shows antiferromagnetic behavior below T-N = 12 K. Electronic structure calculations find that the weak ferromagnetic behavior observed in La2ZnIrO6 is in fact due to canted antiferromagnetism. The calculations also predict canted antiferromagnetic behavior in La2MgIrO6, but intriguingly, this was not observed. Neutron diffraction measurements confirm the essentially antiferromagnetic behavior of both systems but lack the sensitivity to resolve the small (0.22 mu(B)/Ir) ferromagnetic component in La2ZnIrO6. Overall, the results presented here indicate the crucial role of spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and the on-site Coulomb repulsion on the magnetic, transport, and thermodynamic properties of both compounds. The electronic structure calculations show that both compounds, like Sr2IrO4, are J(eff) = 1/2 Mott insulators. Our present findings suggest that La2ZnIrO6 and La2MgIrO6 provide a newplayground to study the interplay between SOC and on-site Coulomb repulsion in a 5d transition-metal oxide.

Haraldsen, Jason T. Furukawa, Nobuo Miyahara, Shin TI Spin state and spectroscopic modes of multiferroic BiFeO3 SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article AB Spectroscopic modes provide the most sensitive probe of the very weak interactions responsible for the properties of the long-wavelength cycloid in the multiferroic phase of BiFeO3 below T-N approximate to 640 K. Three of the four modes measured by terahertz (THz) and Raman spectroscopies were recently identified using a simple microscopic model. While a Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction D along [-1,2,-1] induces a cycloid with wave vector (2 pi/a)(0.5 + delta, 0.5,0.5 - delta) (delta approximate to 0.0045), easy-axis anisotropy K along the [1,1,1] direction of the electric polarization P induces higher harmonics of the cycloid, which split the Psi(1) modes at 2.49 and 2.67 meV and activate the Phi(2) mode at 3.38 meV. However, that model could not explain the observed low-frequency mode at about 2.17 meV. We now demonstrate that an additional DM interaction D' along [1,1,1] not only produces the observed weak ferromagnetic moment of the high-field phase above 18 T but also activates the spectroscopic matrix elements of the nearly degenerate, low-frequency Psi(0) and Phi(1) modes, although their scattering intensities remain extremely weak. Even in the absence of easy-axis anisotropy, D' produces cycloidal harmonics that split Psi(1) and activate Phi(2). However, the observed mode frequencies and selection rules require that both D' and K are nonzero. This work also resolves an earlier disagreement between spectroscopic and inelastic neutron-scattering measurements.

TI Upper critical field of high-quality single crystals of KFe2As2 SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID HIGH-TEMPERATURE SUPERCONDUCTIVITY AB Measurements of temperature-dependent in-plane resistivity rho(T) were used to determine the upper critical field and its anisotropy in high-quality single crystals of the stoichiometric iron arsenide superconductor KFe2As2. The crystals were characterized by the residual resistivity ratio rho(300 K)/rho(0) up to 3000 and the resistive transition midpoint temperature T-c = 3.8 K, significantly higher than in previous studies on the same material. We find increased H-c2(T) for both directions of the magnetic field, which scale with the increased T-c. This unusual linear H-c2(T-c) scaling is not expected for an orbital-limiting mechanism of the upper critical field in clean materials. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevB.87.134513 C1 [Liu, Yong; Tanatar, M.

CA CLAS Collaboration TI Transverse polarization of Sigma(+)(1189) in photoproduction on a hydrogen target in CLAS SO PHYSICAL REVIEW C LA English DT Article ID PHOTON ENERGIES; QUARK-MODEL; LAMBDA; DECAY; SIGMA(0); HYPERON; BARYONS; ETA AB Experimental results on the Sigma(+)(1189) hyperon transverse polarization in photoproduction on a hydrogen target using the CLAS detector at Jefferson Laboratory are presented. The Sigma(+)(1189) was reconstructed in the exclusive reaction gamma + p -> K-s(0) + Sigma(+)(1189) via the Sigma(+) -> p pi(0) decay mode. The K-s(0) was reconstructed in the invariant mass of two oppositely charged pions with the pi(0) identified in the missing mass of the detected p pi(+)pi(-) final state. Experimental data were collected in the photon energy range E-gamma = 1.0-3.5 GeV (root s range 1.66-2.73 GeV). We observe a large negative polarization of up to 95%. As the mechanism of transverse polarization of hyperons produced in unpolarized photoproduction experiments is still not well understood, these results will help to distinguish between different theoretical models on hyperon production and provide valuable information for the searches of missing baryon resonances.

TI Black holes, information, and Hilbert space for quantum gravity SO PHYSICAL REVIEW D LA English DT Article ID ETERNAL INFLATION; EVAPORATION; PARTICLES AB A coarse-grained description for the formation and evaporation of a black hole is given within the framework of a unitary theory of quantum gravity preserving locality, without dropping the information that manifests as macroscopic properties of the state at late times. The resulting picture depends strongly on the reference frame one chooses to describe the process. In one description based on a reference frame in which the reference point stays outside the black hole horizon for sufficiently long time, a late black hole state becomes a superposition of black holes in different locations and with different spins, even if the back hole is formed from collapsing matter that had a well-defined classical configuration with no angular momentum. The information about the initial state is partly encoded in relative coefficients-especially phases-of the terms representing macroscopically different geometries. In another description in which the reference point enters into the black hole horizon at late times, an S-matrix description in the asymptotically Minkowski spacetime is not applicable, but it still allows for an "S-matrix'' description in the full quantum gravitational Hilbert space including singularity states. Relations between different descriptions are given by unitary transformations acting on the full Hilbert space, and they in general involve superpositions of "distant'' and "infalling'' descriptions. Despite the intrinsically quantum mechanical nature of the black hole state, measurements performed by a classical physical observer are consistent with those implied by general relativity. In particular, the recently-considered firewall phenomenon can occur only for an exponentially fine-tuned (and intrinsically quantum mechanical) initial state, analogous to an entropy decreasing process in a system with large degrees of freedom.

This method combines the GW calculation for the treatment of the central-cell potential with a potential patching method for large systems (with 64 000 atoms) to describe the impurity state wave functions. The calculated acceptor levels in Si, GaAs, and an isovalent bound state of GaP are in excellent agreement with experiments with a root-mean-square error of 8.4 meV.

In an effort to understand the mechanisms for such self-assembly, complimentary experimental and theoretical studies are reported to first understand and then control or guide the self-assembly of insulating BaZrO3 (BZO) nanodots within REBa2Cu3O7 (RE = rare earth elements including Y, REBCO) superconducting films. The strain field developed around BZO nanodots embedded in the REBCO matrix is a key driving force dictating the self-assembly of BZO nanodots along REBCO c-axis. The size selection and spatial ordering of BZO self-assembly are simulated using thermodynamic and kinetic models. The BZO self-assembly is controllable by tuning the interphase strain field. REBCO superconducting films with BZO defect arrays self-assembled to align in both vertical (REBCO c-axis) and horizontal (REBCO ab-planes) directions result in the maximized pinning and Jc performance for all field angles with smaller angular Jc anisotropy. The work has broad implications for the fabrication of controlled self-assembled nanostructures for a range of applications via strain-tuning.

Achieving the right materials distribution is crucial for device optimization as it greatly influences charge-carrier mobility. The effect of the vertical concentration profile of materials in spin-coated BHJs on device properties has stirred particularly vigorous debate. Despite available literature on this subject, the results are often contradictory and inconsistent, likely due to differences in sample preparation and experimental considerations. To reconcile published results, the influence of heating, surface energy, and solvent additives on vertical segregation and doping in polymer-fullerene BHJ organic photovoltaics are studied using neutron reflectometry and near edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy. It is shown that surface energies and solvent additives greatly impact heat-induced vertical segregation. Interface charging due to Fermi level mismatch increases (6,6)-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM)-enrichment at the BHJ/cathode interface. Currentvoltage measurements show that self-assembly of interfaces affects the open-circuit voltage, resulting in clear changes to the power conversion efficiency.

This dechlorination process has triggered considerable interest for detoxification of anthropogenic groundwater contaminants. Organohalide-respiring bacteria have been identified from multiple bacterial phyla, and can be categorized as obligate and non-obligate organohalide respirers. The majority of the currently known organohalide-respiring bacteria carry multiple reductive dehalogenase genes. Analysis of a curated set of reductive dehalogenases reveals that sequence similarity and substrate specificity are generally not correlated, making functional prediction from sequence information difficult. In this article, an orthologue-based classification system for the reductive dehalogenases is proposed to aid integration of new sequencing data and to unify terminology.

TI Guided cobalamin biosynthesis supports Dehalococcoides mccartyi reductive dechlorination activity SO PHILOSOPHICAL TRANSACTIONS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY B-BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES LA English DT Article DE reductive dechlorination; organohalide respiration; vitamin B12; Dehalococcoides ID ETHENOGENES STRAIN 195; SPOROMUSA-OVATA; DEHALOSPIRILLUM MULTIVORANS; VINYL-CHLORIDE; TETRACHLOROETHENE; DEHALOGENASE; CORRINOIDS; BACTERIUM; VITAMIN-B-12; TRICHLOROETHENE AB Dehalococcoides mccartyi strains are corrinoid-auxotrophic Bacteria and axenic cultures that require vitamin B-12 (CN-Cbl) to conserve energy via organohalide respiration. Cultures of D. mccartyi strains BAV1, GT and FL2 grown with limiting amounts of 1 mu g l(-1) CN-Cbl quickly depleted CN-Cbl, and reductive dechlorination of polychlorinated ethenes was incomplete leading to vinyl chloride (VC) accumulation. In contrast, the same cultures amended with 25 mu g l(-1) CN-Cbl exhibited up to 2.3-fold higher dechlorination rates, 2.8-9.1-fold increased growth yields, and completely consumed growth-supporting chlorinated ethenes. To explore whether known cobamide-producing microbes supply Dehalococcoides with the required corrinoid cofactor, co-culture experiments were performed with the methanogen Methanosarcina barkeri strain Fusaro and two acetogens, Sporomusa ovata and Sporomusa sp. strain KB-1, as Dehalococcoides partner populations. During growth with H-2/CO2, M. barkeri axenic cultures produced 4.2 +/- 0.1 mu g l(-1) extracellular cobamide (factor III), whereas the Sporomusa cultures produced phenolyl- and p-cresolyl-cobamides. Neither factor III nor the phenolic cobamides supported Dehalococcoides reductive dechlorination activity suggesting that M. barkeri and the Sporomusa sp. cannot fulfil Dehalococcoides' nutritional requirements. Dehalococcoides dechlorination activity and growth occurred in M. barkeri and Sporomusa sp. co-cultures amended with 10 mu M 5',6'-dimethylbenzimidazole (DMB), indicating that a cobalamin is a preferred corrinoid cofactor of strains BAV1, GT and FL2 when grown with chlorinated ethenes as electron acceptors. Even though the methanogen and acetogen populations tested did not produce cobalamin, the addition of DMB enabled guided biosynthesis and generated a cobalamin that supported Dehalococcoides' activity and growth. Guided cobalamin biosynthesis may offer opportunities to sustain and enhance Dehalococcoides activity in contaminated subsurface environments.

The height of the observed J(c) peak decreases with increasing magnetic field in clear contrast with that of the peak effect found at the upper critical field.

We investigate the dependence of the product selectivities on the number of reactant conformers included. Utilizing density functional theory in combination with transition state theory, we obtain rate constants for hydrogen abstraction reactions by the key chain-carrying radicals, which determine the product selectivity within a steady-state kinetic model. The inclusion of the energetically second lowest reactant conformer of PPE and alpha-hydroxy PPE has a large effect on the product selectivity. The final product selectivity computed for PPE agrees well with experiment. We find that the alpha-hydroxy substituent affects energetic as well as entropic contributions to the rate constant differently for alternative pathways of hydrogen abstraction and, thereby, significantly alters product distributions.

Ion transport has been investigated in the dilithium ethylene dicarbonate (Li2EDC) component of the SEI by impedance spectroscopy and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations employing a revised many-body polarizable APPLE&P force field. The developed force field accurately described the binding energies in LiCH3CO3, its dimer, and Li2EDC calculated at the G4MP2 and MP2 levels. M05-2X and LC-omega PBE functionals predicted too high binding energy in lithium alkyl carbonates compared to the G4MP2 results, while the MP2 and M06-L predictions agreed well with the G4MP2 data. The conductivity of Li2EDC at room temperature was found to be 10(-9) S/cm from impedance measurements and extrapolation of MD simulation results. A near Arrhenius temperature dependence of Li2EDC's conductivity was found in the MD simulations with an activation energy ranging from 64 to 84 kJ/mol. At room temperature, the lithium transport was subdiffusive on time scales shorter than similar to 10(-2) s in MD simulations corresponding to the onset of the plateau of resistivity vs frequency occurring at frequencies lower than 10(2) Hz. The influence of Li2EDC ordering on the ion transport was investigated by contrasting supercooled amorphous melts and ordered material. At 393 K Li+ transport was heterogeneous, showing chainlike and looplike Li+ correlated displacements. The non-Gaussianity of Li+ transport was examined. The influence of polarization on the structure of the lithium coordination shell and ion transport has been investigated in the molten phase of Li2EDC and contrasted with the previous results obtained for room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs). Nonpolarizable Li2EDC exhibited orders of magnitude slower dynamics below 600 K and a higher activation energy for the Li+ diffusion coefficient. Initial simulations of Li2EDC dissolved in an EC:DMC(3:7)/LiPF6 liquid electrolyte were performed at 450 K and showed a strong aggregation of Li2EDC consistent with its phase separation from the electrolyte. The plasticizing effects of carbonate electrolyte on Li2EDC dynamics were examined.

TI A Window on Surface Explosions: Tartaric Acid on Cu(110) SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY C LA English DT Article ID CHIRAL METAL-SURFACES; AUTOCATALYTIC DECOMPOSITION; ACETIC-ACID; FORMIC-ACID; ACETATE FORMATION; CLEAN NI(110); RH CRYSTALS; MALIC-ACID; ADSORPTION; WATER AB Autocatalytic reaction mechanisms are observed in a range of important chemical processes including catalysis, radical-mediated explosions, and biosynthesis. Because of their complexity, the microscopic details of autocatalytic reaction mechanisms have been difficult to study on surfaces and heterogeneous catalysts. Autocatalytic decomposition reactions of S,S- and R,R-tartaric acid (TA) adsorbed on Cu(110) offer molecular-level insight into aspects of these processes, which until now, were largely a matter of speculation. The decomposition of TA/Cu(110) is initiated by a slow, irreversible process that forms vacancies in the adsorbed TA layer, followed by a vacancy-mediated, explosive decomposition process that yields CO2 and small hydrocarbon products. Initiation of the explosive decomposition of TA/Cu(110) has been studied by measurement of the reaction kinetics, time-resolved low energy electron diffraction (LEED), and time-resolved scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Initiation results in a decrease in the local coverage of TA and a concomitant increase in the areal vacancy concentration. Observations of explosive TA decomposition on the Cu(651)(S) surface suggest that initiation does not occur at structural defects in the surface, as has been suggested in the past. Once the vacancy concentration reaches a critical value, the explosive, autocatalytic decomposition step dominates the TA decomposition rate. The onset of the explosive decomposition of TA on Cu(110) is accompanied by the extraction of Cu atoms from the surface to form a (+/- 6,7; -/+ 2,1) overlayer that is readily observable using LEED and STM. The explosive decomposition step is second-order in vacancy concentration and accelerates with increasing extent of reaction. C1 [Mhatre, B. S.; Pushkarev, V.; Holsclaw, B.; Gellman, A.

This unique combination of properties gives the carbon nanotube channel an ability to support enhanced transport of water and gases with flows often exceeding those of conventional channels by several orders of magnitude. Surprisingly, most of these transport enhancement phenomena can be explained using very simple mechanisms that hardly go beyond classical physics concepts. Here we present a simplified analytical model that uses classic kinetic theory formalism to describe gas transport in carbon nanotube channels and to highlight the role of surface defects and adsorbates in determining transport efficiency. We also extend this description to include the possibility of gas molecule diffusion along the nanotube walls. Our results show that in all cases the conditions at the nanotube channel walls play a critical role in determining the transport efficiency and that in some cases obtaining efficient transport has to involve optimization of flows from diffusion through the gas phase and along the nanotube surface.

This material exhibits thermoresponsive optical properties as temperature exceeds the lower critical solution temperature (LCST), which is 32 degrees C for PNIPAM and the conjugate. This PNIPAM-trimer conjugate is fully characterized by using NMR, FT-IR, temperature-dependent UV-vis, and fluorescence spectroscopy. We have found that the polymer conjugate solution turns opaque as temperature exceeds lower critical solution temperature and a five-fold increase in fluorescence intensity as temperature increases from 20 to 70 degrees C. Such distinct increase in fluorescence intensity is likely due to the rigidchromism, that is, the change in optical properties due to confinement of the chromophores resulting from restriction of polymer conformational structures. The PNIPAM-trimer conjugate also shows a decrease in decay lifetime with increasing temperature, whereas OPV trimer alone shows no change in decay lifetime as a function of temperature. These unique optical properties are not observed in the trimer and PNIPAM mixture, suggesting that the stimuli-responsive optical properties can occur only in PNIPAM-trimer conjugate linked through covalent bond.

We find that including d-orbital interactions in the DFTB Hamiltonian improves determination of the electronic states at high pressure temperature conditions, compared to standard DFTB implementations that utilize s- and p-orbitals only for carbon. We then determine a three-body repulsive energy through fitting to diamond, BC8, and simple cubic cold compression curve data, as well pressures from metallic liquid configurations from density functional theory (DFT) simulations Our new model (DFTB-p3b) yields approximately 2 orders of magnitude increase in computational efficiency over standard DFT while retaining its accuracy for condensed phases of carbon under a wide range of conditions, including the metallic liquid phase at conditions up to 2000 GPa and 30 000 K. Our results provide a straightforward method by which DFTB can be extended to studies of covalently bonded materials under extremely high pressures and temperatures such as the interiors of planets and other large celestial bodies.

These particles exhibit reversible thermal quenching, the extent of which is strongly dependent on the composition of the surface and nature of the surface ligands. Thermal quenching has dynamic (affecting the luminescence lifetimes) and static (affecting the fraction of particles that are bright versus dark) components. The temperature dependence of quantum yields and time-resolved luminescence decays as well as room temperature transient absorption spectroscopy are used to elucidate the thermal quenching mechanisms. Dynamic thermal quenching is due to thermally activated trapping dynamics that occur on the same time scale as the radiative lifetime. This paper focuses on static thermal quenching and several different mechanisms are considered. It is concluded that the dominant mechanism involves thermal promotion of valence band electrons to empty chalcogenide P orbitals on the particle surfaces. This leaves a hole in the valence band, and subsequent photoexcitation produces a positive trion. The trion undergoes relatively rapid nonradiative Auger relaxation, rendering the particle dark. The differences in the extents of thermal quenching between different surface compositions, different types of particles, and different surface ligands can be understood in terms of the density of empty surface chalcogenide orbitals and the valence band energies.

Realization of such clusters allows the investigation of fundamental questions: (1) Will heteroatoms occupy specific sites within the cluster? (2) How will the inclusion of heteroatoms affect the electronic structure and chemical properties of the cluster? (3) How will these very small mixed-metal systems differ from larger, more traditional alloy materials? In this report we provide experimental and computational characterization of the ligand-protected mixed-metal Au25-xAgx(SC2H4Ph)(18) cluster (abbreviated as Au25-xAgx, where x = 0-5 Ag atoms) compared with the unsubstituted Au-25(SC2H4Ph)(18) cluster (abbreviated as Au-25). Density functional theory analysis has predicted that Ag heteroatoms will preferentially occupy sites on the surface of the cluster core. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed Au Ag state mixing and charge redistribution within the Au25-xAgx cluster. Optical spectroscopy and nonaqueous electrochemistry indicate that Ag heteroatoms increased the duster lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy, introduced new features in the Au25-xAgx absorbance spectrum, and rendered some optical transitions forbidden. In situ spectroelectrochemical experiments revealed charge-dependent Au25-xAgx optical properties and oxidative photoluminescence quenching. Finally, O-2 adsorption studies have shown Au25-xAgx clusters can participate in photomediated charge-transfer events. These results illustrate that traditional alloy concepts like metal-centered state mixing and internal charge redistribution also occur in very small mixed-metal clusters. However, resolution of specific heteroatom locations and their impact on the cluster's quantized electronic structure will require a combination of computational modeling, optical spectroscopy, and nonaqueous electrochemistry.

Herein, we report the synthesis and activity of a phase-pure nanocrystal perovskite catalyst that is highly active for the OER and ORR. The OER mass activity of LaNiO3, synthesized by the calcination of a rapidly dried nanoparticle dispersion and supported on nitrogen-doped carbon, is demonstrated to be nearly 3-fold that of 6 nm IrO2 and exhibits no hysteresis during oxygen evolution. Moreover, strong OER/ORR bifimctionality is shown by the low total overpotential (1.02 V) between the reactions, on par or better than that of noble metal catalysts such as Pt (1.16 V) and Ir (0.92 V). These results are examined in the context of surface hydroxylation, and a new OER cycle is proposed that unifies theory and the unique surface properties of LaNiO3.

Compared with aqueous electrolytes, ionic liquid and organic electrolytes have the advantage of larger potential windows, making them attractive for the next generation of EDLCs with superior energy and power densities. The performance of both ionic liquid and organic electrolyte EDLCs hinges on the judicious selection of the electrode pore size and the electrolyte composition, which requires a comprehension of the charging behavior from a microscopic view. In this Perspective, we discuss predictions from the classical density functional theory (CDFT) on the dependence of the capacitance on the pore size for ionic liquid and organic electrolyte EDLCs. CDFT is applicable to electrodes with the pore size ranging from that below the ionic dimensionality to mesoscopic scales, thus unique for investigating the electrochemical behavior of the confined electrolytes for EDLC applications.

The BPh component of the M-heterodimer (Mhd) or L-heterodimer (Lhd) obtains from substituting a Leu for His M200 or for His L173, respectively. Lhd-beta and Mhd-beta RCs serve as the initial templates in the two mutant sets, where beta denotes that the L-side BPh acceptor (H-L) has been replaced by a BChl (due to substituting His for Leu M212). Three variants each of Lhd-beta and Mhd-beta mutants were constructed: (1) a swap (denoted YF) of the native Phe (L181) and Tyr (M208) residues, which flank D and the nearby M- and L-side monomeric BChl cofactors, respectively, giving Tyr (L181) and Phe (M208); (2) addition of a hydrogen bond (denoted L131LH) to the ring V keto group of the L-macrocycle of D, via replacing the native Leu at L131 with His; (3) the combination of 1 and 2. A low yield of electron transfer (ET) to the M-side BPh (H-M) is observed in all four Lhd-containing RCs. Comparison with the yield of ET to beta on the L-side shows that electron density on the L-macrocycle of D* favors ET to the M-side cofactors and vice versa. Increasing or decreasing the electronic asymmetry of D* via the YF, L131LH mutations or the combination results in consistent trends in the characteristics of the long wavelength ground state absorption band of D, the rate constant of internal conversion of D* to the ground state, and the rate constants for ET to both the L- and M-side cofactors. A surprising correlation is that an increase in the charge asymmetry in D* not only increases the D* internal-conversion rate constant, but also the rate constants for ET to both the L- and M-side cofactors, spanning time scales of tens of picoseconds to several nanoseconds. The YF swap has a previously unrecognized effect on the electronic asymmetry of D*, resulting in increased charge asymmetry for the Mhd and decreased charge asymmetry for the Lhd. This result indicates that the native Tyr (M208) and Phe (L181) in the wild-type RC promote an electron distribution in P* that is the reverse of that favorable for ET to the photoactive L-branch. This conclusion reinforces the view that the native configuration of these residues promotes ET to the L branch primarily by poising the free energies of the charge-separated states. Overall, this work addresses the extent to which electronic couplings complement energetics in underpinning the directionality of ET in the bacterial RC.

TI Coulomb-hole summations and energies for GW calculations with limited number of empty orbitals: A modified static remainder approach SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID WALLED CARBON NANOTUBES; QUASI-PARTICLE ENERGIES; SPECTRA AB Ab initio GW calculations are a standard method for computing the spectroscopic properties of many materials. The most computationally expensive part in conventional implementations of the method is the generation and summation over the large number of empty orbitals required to converge the electron self-energy. We propose a scheme to reduce the summation over empty states by the use of a modified static remainder approximation, which is simple to implement and yields accurate self-energies for both bulk and molecular systems requiring a small fraction of the typical number of empty orbitals.

TI Experimental observation of spin-exchange-induced dimerization of an atomic one-dimensional system SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID CHAINS AB Using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy, we demonstrate a one-dimensional system that undergoes a charge-density-wave (CDW) instability on a metallic substrate. For our measurements we utilize a self-assembled monatomic chain of Co atoms aligned by the steps on a vicinal Cu(111) surface. We assign the measured CDW instability to ferromagnetic interactions along the chain. We show that though the linear arrayed dimers are not electronically isolated, they are magnetically independent, and hence can potentially serve as a binary spin-memory system.

TI Plasmon Mode Modifies the Elastic Response of a Nanoscale Charge Density Wave System SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article ID ELECTRIC-FIELD; ELECTROMECHANICAL OSCILLATOR; CONDUCTOR NBSE3; REGIME; NOISE AB The elastic response of suspended NbSe3 nanowires is studied across the charge density wave phase transition. The nanoscale dimensions of the resonator lead to a large resonant frequency (similar to 10-100 MHz), bringing the excited phonon frequency in close proximity of the plasmon mode of the electronic condensate-a parameter window not accessible in bulk systems. The interaction between the phonon and plasmon modes strongly modifies the elastic properties at high frequencies. This is manifested in the nanomechanics of the system as a sharp peak in the temperature dependence of the elastic modulus (relative change of 12.8%) in the charge density wave phase.

TI Potential thermoelectric performance of hole-doped Cu2O SO NEW JOURNAL OF PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID ELECTRONIC-STRUCTURE; ZNO CERAMICS; TRANSPORT; CUO; CRYSTALS; CONVERSION; GRADIENT; MOBILITY; CARRIERS; DENSITY AB High thermoelectric performance in oxides requires stable conductive materials that have suitable band structures. Here we show, based on an analysis of the thermopower and related properties using first-principles calculations and Boltzmann transport theory in the relaxation time approximation, that hole-doped Cu2O may be such a material. We find that hole-doped Cu2O has a high thermopower of above 200 mu V K-1 even with doping levels as high as 5.2 x 10(20) cm(-3) at 500 K, mainly attributed to the heavy valence bands of Cu2O. This is reminiscent of the cobaltate family of high-performance oxide thermoelectrics and implies that hole-doped Cu2O could be an excellent thermoelectric material if suitably doped.

TI Fragility and hysteretic creep in frictional granular jamming SO PHYSICAL REVIEW E LA English DT Article ID SPHERES; DYNAMICS; SYSTEMS; PACKING; SHEAR AB The granular jamming transition is experimentally investigated in a two-dimensional system of frictional, bidispersed disks subject to quasistatic, uniaxial compression without vibrational disturbances (zero granular temperature). Three primary results are presented in this experimental study. First, using disks with different static friction coefficients (mu), we experimentally verify numerical results that predict jamming onset at progressively lower packing fractions with increasing friction. Second, we show that the first compression cycle measurably differs from subsequent cycles. The first cycle is fragile-a metastable configuration with simultaneous jammed and unjammed clusters-over a small packing fraction interval (phi(1) < phi < phi(2)) and exhibits simultaneous exponential rise in pressure and exponential decrease in disk displacements over the same packing fraction interval. This fragile behavior is explained through a percolation mechanism of stressed contacts where cluster growth exhibits spatial correlation with disk displacements and contributes to recent results emphasizing fragility in frictional jamming. Control experiments show that the fragile state results from the experimental incompatibility between the requirements for zero friction and zero granular temperature. Measurements with several disk materials of varying elastic moduli E and friction coefficients mu show that friction directly controls the start of the fragile state but indirectly controls the exponential pressure rise. Finally, under repetitive loading (compression) and unloading (decompression), we find the system exhibits pressure hysteresis, and the critical packing fraction phi(c) increases slowly with repetition number. This friction-induced hysteretic creep is interpreted as the granular pack's evolution from a metastable to an eventual structurally stable configuration. It is shown to depend on the quasistatic step size Delta phi, which provides the only perturbative mechanism in the experimental protocol, and the friction coefficient mu, which acts to stabilize the pack.

In the present study, this approach is critically examined in a wide variety of electrolytes, including aqueous and nonaqueous solutions, polymer electrolytes, and ionic liquids. It is shown that the electrode polarization analysis based on the Macdonald-Trukhan model [J. Chem. Phys. 124, 144903 (2006); J. Non-Cryst. Solids 357, 3064 (2011)] progressively fails to give reasonable values of free-ion diffusivity and number density with increasing salt concentration. This should be expected because the original model of electrode polarization is designed for dilute electrolytes. An empirical correction method which yields ion diffusivities in reasonable agreement with pulsed-field gradient nuclear magnetic resonance measurements is proposed. However, the analysis of free-ion diffusivity and number density from electrode polarization should still be exercised with great caution because there is no solid theoretical justification for the proposed corrections.

TI Unexpected strain-stiffening in crystalline solids SO NATURE LA English DT Article ID SUPERHARD MATERIALS; ALUMINUM; NANOINDENTATION; INSTABILITIES; PLASTICITY; STRENGTH; DIAMOND; SCIENCE; STRESS; CARBON AB Strain-stiffening-an increase in material stiffness at large strains-is a vital mechanism by which many soft biological materials thwart excessive deformation to protect tissue integrity(1-3). Understanding the fundamental science of strain-stiffening and incorporating this concept into the design of metals and ceramics for advanced applications is an attractive prospect. Using cementite (Fe3C) and aluminium borocarbide (Al3BC3) as prototypes, here we show via quantum-mechanical calculations that strain-stiffening also occurs, surprisingly, in simple inorganic crystalline solids and confers exceptionally high strengths to these two solids, which have anomalously low resistance to deformation near equilibrium. For Fe3C and Al3BC3, their ideal shear strength to shear modulus ratios attain remarkably high values of 1.14 and 1.34 along the (010)[ 001] and (0001) [01 (1) over bar0] slip systems, respectively. These values are more than seven times larger than the original Frenkel value of 1/2 pi (refs 4, 5) and are the highest yet reported for crystalline solids. The extraordinary stiffening of Fe3C arises from the strain-induced reversible 'cross-linking' between weakly coupled edge- and corner-sharing Fe6C slabs. This new bond formation creates a strong, three-dimensional covalent bond network that resists large shear deformation. Unlike Fe3C, no new bond forms in Al3BC3 but stiffening still occurs because strong repulsion between Al and B in a compressed Al-B bond unsettles the existing covalent bond network. These discoveries challenge the conventional wisdom that large shear modulus is a reliable predictor of hardness and strength of materials(4-7), and provide new lessons for materials selection and design.

TI Statistical mechanics of a discrete Schrodinger equation with saturable nonlinearity SO PHYSICAL REVIEW E LA English DT Article ID BREATHERS; SOLITONS AB We study the statistical mechanics of the one-dimensional discrete nonlinear Schrodinger (DNLS) equation with saturable nonlinearity. Our study represents an extension of earlier work [Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 3740 ( 2000)] regarding the statistical mechanics of the one-dimensional DNLS equation with a cubic nonlinearity. As in this earlier study, we identify the spontaneous creation of localized excitations with a discontinuity in the partition function. The fact that this phenomenon is retained in the saturable DNLS is nontrivial, since in contrast to the cubic DNLS whose nonlinear character is enhanced as the excitation amplitude increases, the saturable DNLS, in fact, becomes increasingly linear as the excitation amplitude increases. We explore the nonlinear dynamics of this phenomenon by direct numerical simulations. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevE.87.044901 C1 [Samuelsen, Mogens R.] Tech Univ Denmark, Dept Phys, DK-2800 Lyngby, Denmark.

Here, we create microscale droplet interface bilayers (mu DIBs) at the interface between aqueous femtoliter-volume droplets within an oil-filled microfluidic channel. The uniquely large area-to-volume ratio of the droplets results in strong evaporation effects, causing the system to transition through three distinct regimes. First, the two adjacent droplets shrink into the shape of a single spherical droplet, where an augmented lipid bilayer partitions two hemispherical volumes. In the second regime, the combined effects of the shrinking monolayers and growing bilayer force the confined bilayer to buckle to conserve its mass. Finally, at a critical bending moment, the buckling bilayer fissions a vesicle to regulate its shape and mass. The mu DIBs produced here enable evaporation-induced bilayer dynamics reminiscent of endo- and exocytosis in cells. C1 [Boreyko, Jonathan B.; Retterer, Scott T.; Collier, C.

We found at T = 3 K clear inelastic peaks in the energy loss and energy gain sides, along with the central elastic peak. The energy of this low energy excitation, which is 26.59 +/- 0.02 mu eV at T = 3 K, decreased continuously and became zero at T-N approximate to 130 K. By fitting the data in the temperature range 100-127.5 K with a power law we obtained the power-law exponent beta = 0.37 +/- 0.02, which agrees with the expected value beta = 0.367 for a three-dimensional Heisenberg model. Thus the energy of the low energy excitations can be associated with the order parameter. C1 [Chatterji, Tapan] Inst Max Von Laue Paul Langevin, F-38042 Grenoble 9, France.

A meandering structure of the GB is found to be energetically more favorable than other structures, in good agreement with experiment. It is observed in the TBMD simulation that evaporation of carbon dimers and sequential Stone-Wales transformations of carbon bonds lead to rapid motion and annihilation of the GB. The dimer erection and evaporation are found to proceed by formation of an adatom due to bond breaking. These results shed interesting light on the fabrication of high-quality graphene.

TI The application of an atomistic J-integral to a ductile crack SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICS-CONDENSED MATTER LA English DT Article ID DISLOCATION NUCLEATION; FCC METALS; TIP; SIMULATIONS; SCALE; ENERGY AB In this work we apply a Lagrangian kernel-based estimator of continuum fields to atomic data to estimate the J-integral for the emission dislocations from a crack tip. Face-centered cubic (fcc) gold and body-centered cubic (bcc) iron modeled with embedded atom method (EAM) potentials are used as example systems. The results of a single crack with a K-loading compare well to an analytical solution from anisotropic linear elastic fracture mechanics. We also discovered that in the post-emission of dislocations from the crack tip there is a loop size-dependent contribution to the J-integral. For a system with a finite width crack loaded in simple tension, the finite size effects for the systems that were feasible to compute prevented precise agreement with theory. However, our results indicate that there is a trend towards convergence. C1 [Zimmerman, Jonathan A.; Jones, Reese E.] Sandia Natl Labs, Mech Mat Dept, Livermore, CA 94551 USA.

Fierer, Noah Knight, Rob TI Cohabiting family members share microbiota with one another and with their dogs SO ELIFE LA English DT Article ID GUT MICROBIOME; DIVERSITY; SKIN; AGE; COMMUNITIES; FLORA AB Human-associated microbial communities vary across individuals: possible contributing factors include (genetic) relatedness, diet, and age. However, our surroundings, including individuals with whom we interact, also likely shape our microbial communities. To quantify this microbial exchange, we surveyed fecal, oral, and skin microbiota from 60 families (spousal units with children, dogs, both, or neither). Household members, particularly couples, shared more of their microbiota than individuals from different households, with stronger effects of co-habitation on skin than oral or fecal microbiota. Dog ownership significantly increased the shared skin microbiota in cohabiting adults, and dog-owning adults shared more 'skin' microbiota with their own dogs than with other dogs. Although the degree to which these shared microbes have a true niche on the human body, vs transient detection after direct contact, is unknown, these results suggest that direct and frequent contact with our cohabitants may significantly shape the composition of our microbial communities.

The derived hygroscopicity (CCN) of CCN-active particles with diameter between 97 and 165 nm ranged from 0.05 to 0.4. Diurnal variation showed a slight decrease of CCN from 8:00 to 16:00 (from 0.24 to 0.20), which is attributed to increasing organics volume fraction resulted from secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation. The derived hygroscopicity distribution and maximum activated fraction of the size selected particles were examined as functions of photochemical age. The result indicates that condensation of secondary species (e.g., SOA and sulfate) quickly converted hydrophobic particles to hydrophilic ones, and during daytime, nearly every particle became a CCN at similar to 0.4% in just a few hours. Based on CCN and aerosol chemical composition, the organic hygroscopicity (org) was derived, and ranged from 0.05 to 0.23 with an average value of 0.13, consistent with the results from earlier studies. The derived org generally increased with the organic oxidation level, and most of the variation in org could be explained by the variation of the organic O:C atomic ratio alone. The least squares fit of the data yielded org=(0.83 +/- 0.06)x(O:C)+(-0.19 +/- 0.02). Compared to previous results based on CCN measurements of laboratory generated aerosols, org derived from measurements during the CalNex campaign exhibited stronger increase with O:C atomic ratio and therefore substantially higher values for organics with average O:C greater than 0.5.

Aerosol composition evolves from source-rich areas in the western Basin to downwind sites in the eastern Basin, evidenced by transition from an external to internal mixture, as well as enhancements in organic O:C ratio, the amount of organics and nitrate internally mixed on almost all particle types, and coating thickness on refractory black carbon (rBC). Transport into hot, dilute outflow regions leads to significant volatilization of semivolatile material, resulting in a unimodal aerosol comprising primarily oxygenated, low-volatility, water-soluble organics and sulfate. The fraction of particles with rBC or soot cores is between 27 and 51% based on data from a Single Particle Soot Photometer (SP2) and Aerosol Time of Flight Mass Spectrometer (ATOFMS). Secondary organics appear to inhibit subsaturated water uptake in aged particles, while CCN activity is enhanced with photochemical age. A biomass-burning event resulted in suppression of subsaturated hygroscopicity but enhancement in CCN activity, suggesting that BB particles may be nonhygroscopic at subsaturated RH but are important sources of CCN. Aerosol aging and biomass burning can lead to discrepancies between subsaturated and supersaturated hygroscopicity that may be related to mixing state. In the cases of biomass burning aerosol and aged particles coated with secondary material, more than a single parameter representation of subsaturated hygroscopicity and CCN activity is needed.

TI Platelet Motion near a Vessel Wall or Thrombus Surface in Two-Dimensional Whole Blood Simulations SO BIOPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article ID VON-WILLEBRAND-FACTOR; PARTICLES; FLOW; AGGREGATION; ACTIVATION; SCATTERING; TRANSPORT; COMPLEX; BONDS; MODEL AB Computational simulations using a two-dimensional lattice-Boltzmann immersed boundary method were conducted to investigate the motion of platelets near a vessel wall and close to an intravascular thrombus. Physiological volume fractions of deformable red blood cells and rigid platelet-size elliptic particles were studied under arteriolar flow conditions. Tumbling of platelets in the red-blood-cell depleted zone near the vessel walls was strongly influenced by nearby red blood cells. The thickness of the red-blood-cell depleted zone was greatly reduced near a thrombus, and platelets in this zone were pushed close to the surface of the thrombus to distances that would facilitate their cohesion to it. The distance, nature, and duration of close platelet-thrombus encounters were influenced by the porosity of the thrombus. The strong influence on platelet-thrombus encounters of red-blood-cell motion and thrombus porosity must be taken into account to understand the dynamics of platelet attachment to a growing thrombus.

TI Nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopic and computational study of high-valent diiron complexes relevant to enzyme intermediates SO PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA LA English DT Article DE iron-oxo cores; Fe enzymes ID COLI RIBONUCLEOTIDE REDUCTASE; METHANE MONOOXYGENASE HYDROXYLASE; DIAMOND CORE; C-H; CATALYTIC CYCLE; ACTIVATION; SCATTERING; MECHANISM; COFACTOR; MODEL AB High-valent intermediates of binuclear nonheme iron enzymes are structurally unknown despite their importance for understanding enzyme reactivity. Nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopy combined with density functional theory calculations has been applied to structurally well-characterized high-valent mono-and di-oxo bridged binuclear Fe model complexes. Low-frequency vibrational modes of these high-valent diiron complexes involving Fe motion have been observed and assigned. These are independent of Fe oxidation state and show a strong dependence on spin state. It is important to note that they are sensitive to the nature of the Fe-2 core bridges and provide the basis for interpreting parallel nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopy data on the high-valent oxo intermediates in the binuclear nonheme iron enzymes.

However, our knowledge of lower mantle phase equilibria at high pressure (P) and temperature (T) conditions has been based on limited information provided by powder X-ray diffraction technique and theoretical calculations. Here, we report the in situ single-crystal structure determination of (Mg,Fe)SiO3 postperovskite (ppv) at high P and after temperature quenching in a diamond anvil cell. Using a newly developed multigrain single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis technique in a diamond anvil cell, crystallographic orientations of over 100 crystallites were simultaneously determined at high P in a coarse-grained polycrystalline sample containing submicron ppv grains. Conventional single-crystal structural analysis and refinement methods were applied for a few selected ppv crystallites, which demonstrate the feasibility of the in situ study of crystal structures of submicron crystallites in a multiphase polycrystalline sample contained within a high P device. The similarity of structural models for single-crystal Fe-bearing ppv (similar to 10 mol% Fe) and Fe-free ppv from previous theoretical calculations suggests that the Fe content in the mantle has a negligible effect on the crystal structure of the ppv phase.

TI Rapid electron exchange between surface-exposed bacterial cytochromes and Fe(III) minerals SO PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA LA English DT Article DE mineral respiration; multiheme cytochromes; proteoliposome ID SHEWANELLA-ONEIDENSIS MR-1; OUTER-MEMBRANE CYTOCHROMES; DECAHEME CYTOCHROME; MICROBIAL REDUCTION; MN(IV) REDUCTION; IRON REDUCTION; OXIDE SURFACE; MTRC; OMCA; TRANSPORT AB The mineral-respiring bacterium Shewanella oneidensis uses a protein complex, MtrCAB, composed of two decaheme cytochromes, MtrC and MtrA, brought together inside a transmembrane porin, MtrB, to transport electrons across the outer membrane to a variety of mineral-based electron acceptors. A proteoliposome system containing a pool of internalized electron carriers was used to investigate how the topology of the MtrCAB complex relates to its ability to transport electrons across a lipid bilayer to externally located Fe(III) oxides. With MtrA facing the interior and MtrC exposed on the outer surface of the phospholipid bilayer, the established in vivo orientation, electron transfer from the interior electron carrier pool through MtrCAB to solid-phase Fe(III) oxides was demonstrated. The rates were 10(3) times higher than those reported for reduction of goethite, hematite, and lepidocrocite by S. oneidensis, and the order of the reaction rates was consistent with those observed in S. oneidensis cultures. In contrast, established rates for single turnover reactions between purified MtrC and Fe(III) oxides were 10(3) times lower. By providing a continuous flow of electrons, the proteoliposome experiments demonstrate that conduction through MtrCAB directly to Fe(III) oxides is sufficient to support in vivo, anaerobic, solid-phase iron respiration.

TMEM16A belongs to a family of integral membrane proteins that includes another CaCC, TMEM16B, responsible for controlling action potential waveform and synaptic efficacy, and a small-conductance calcium-activated nonselective cation channel, TMEM16F, linked to Scott syndrome. We find that these channels in the TMEM16 family share a homodimeric architecture facilitated by their cytoplasmic N termini. This dimerization domain is important for channel assembly in eukaryotic cells, and the in vitro association of peptides containing the dimerization domain is consistent with a homotypic protein-protein interaction. Amino acid substitutions in the dimerization domain affect functional TMEM16A-CaCC channel expression, as expected from its critical role in channel subunit assembly.
