ID BREAKDOWN
AB The electron beam ion source (EBIS) preinjector at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) is a new heavy ion-preinjector for relativistic heavy ion collider (RHIC) and NASA Space Radiation Laboratory (NSRL). Laser ion source (LIS) is a primary ion source provider for the BNL-EBIS. LIS with solenoid at the plasma drift section can realize the low peak current (similar to 400 mu A) with high charge (similar to 10 nC) which is the BNL-EBIS requirement. The gap between two solenoids does not cause serious plasma current decay, which helps us to make up the BNL-EBIS beamline. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics.

TI Development of electron beam ion source charge breeder for rare isotopes
at Californium Rare Isotope Breeder Upgrade
SO REVIEW OF SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS
LA English
DT Article
AB Recently, the Californium Rare Isotope Breeder Upgrade (CARIBU) to the Argonne Tandem Linac Accelerator System (ATLAS) was commissioned and became available for production of rare isotopes. Currently, an electron cyclotron resonance ion source is used as a charge breeder for CARIBU beams. To further increase the intensity and improve the purity of neutron-rich ion beams accelerated by ATLAS, we are developing a high-efficiency charge breeder for CARIBU based on an electron beam ion source (EBIS). The CARIBU EBIS charge breeder will utilize the state-of-the-art EBIS technology recently developed at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). The electron beam current density in the CARIBU EBIS trap will be significantly higher than that in existing operational charge-state breeders based on the EBIS concept. The design of the CARIBU EBIS charge breeder is nearly complete. Long-lead components of the EBIS such as a 6-T superconducting solenoid and an electron gun have been ordered with the delivery schedule in the fall of 2011. Measurements of expected breeding efficiency using the BNL Test EBIS have been performed using a Cs+ surface ionization ion source for external injection in pulsed mode. In these experiments we have achieved similar to 70% injection/extraction efficiency and breeding efficiency into the most abundant charge state of similar to 17%.

TI Investigation of ISIS and Brookhaven National Laboratory ion source
electrodes after extended operation
SO REVIEW OF SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS
LA English
DT Article
AB Linac4 accelerator of Centre Europeen de Recherches Nucleaires is under construction and a RF-driven H- ion source is being developed. The beam current requirement for Linac4 is very challenging: 80 mA must be provided. Cesiated plasma discharge ion sources such as Penning or magnetron sources are also potential candidates. Accelerator ion sources must achieve typical reliability figures of 95% and above. Investigating and understanding the underlying mechanisms involved with source failure or ageing is critical when selecting the ion source technology. Plasma discharge driven surface ion sources rely on molybdenum cathodes. Deformation of the cathode surfaces is visible after extended operation periods. A metallurgical investigation of an ISIS ion source is presented. The origin of the deformation is twofold: Molybdenum sputtering by cesium ions digs few tenths of mm cavities while a growth of molybdenum is observed in the immediate vicinity. The molybdenum growth under hydrogen atmosphere is hard and loosely bound to the bulk. It is, therefore, likely to peel off and be transported within the plasma volume. The observation of the cathode, anode, and extraction electrodes of the magnetron source operated at BNL for two years are presented. A beam simulation of H-, electrons, and Cs- ions was performed with the IBSimu code package to qualitatively explain the observations. This paper describes the operation conditions of the ion sources and discusses the metallurgical analysis and beam simulation results. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics.

ID NEGATIVE-ION BEAMS; MASS-SPECTROMETRY; SUPPRESSION; COOLER
AB Ion beam purity is of crucial importance to many basic and applied studies in nuclear science. Selective photodetachment has been proposed to suppress unwanted species in negative ion beams while preserving the intensity of the species of interest. A highly efficient technique based on photodetachment in a gas-filled radio frequency quadrupole ion cooler has been demonstrated. In off-line experiments with stable ions, up to 10(4) times suppression of the isobar contaminants in a number of interesting radioactive negative ion beams has been demonstrated. For selected species, this technique promises new experimental possibilities in studies on exotic nuclei, accelerator mass spectrometry, and fundamental properties of negative atomic and molecular ions.

AB A fourth generation electron cyclotron resonance ion source with an operating frequency between 40 and 56 GHz has the potential to quadruple the heavy-ion beam currents and provide a cost effective upgrade path for heavy ion drivers in use or in the planning stage at radioactive beam facilities. Design studies show it is feasible to produce the required magnetic fields in the plasma chamber, 7 T axially and 4 T in the radial direction with a magnetic structure using commercially available Nb3Sn superconducting materials. In this paper we describe the design of such a magnet structure including a 3D analysis of the Lorentz forces generated by the magnetic fields and the necessary clamping structure to stabilize the conductor against these forces.

AB Vacuum arc ion sources have been made and used by a large number of research groups around the world over the past twenty years. The first generation of vacuum arc ion sources (dubbed "Mevva," for metal vapor vacuum arc) was developed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in the 1980s. This paper considers the design, performance parameters, and some applications of a new modified version of this kind of source which we have called Mevva-V.Ru. The source produces broad beams of metal ions at an extraction voltage of up to 60 kV and a time-averaged ion beam current in the milliampere range. Here, we describe the Mevva-V.Ru vacuum arc ion source that we have developed at Tomsk and summarize its beam characteristics along with some of the applications to which we have put it. We also describe the source performance using compound cathodes. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3655529]

When the interval of the two laser shots is longer than 10 mu s, the obtained ion current profile was expressed as a sum of two individual expanded laser plasmas. However, if the interval is too close, a current reduction was observed. This technique can be effectively applied to low charge state ion production. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics.

AB A laser ion source can provide wide variety of ion beams from solid target materials, however, it has been difficult to create proton beam efficiently. We examined capability of proton production using beeswax, polyethylene, and metal hydrides (MgH2 and ZrH2) as target materials. The results showed that beeswax and polyethylene could not be used to produce protons because these targets are transparent to the laser wavelength of 1064 nm. On the other hand, the metal hydrides could supply protons. Although the obtained particle numbers of protons were less than those of the metal ions, the metal hydrides could be used as a target for proton laser ion source.

TI Producing persistent, high-current, high-duty-factor H- beams for
routine 1 MW operation of Spallation Neutron Source (invited)
SO REVIEW OF SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS
LA English
DT Article
ID SNS
AB Since 2009, the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) has been producing neutrons with ion beam powers near 1 MW, which requires the extraction of similar to 50 mA H- ions from the ion source with a similar to 5% duty factor. The 50 mA are achieved after an initial dose of similar to 3 mg of Cs and heating the Cs collar to similar to 170 degrees C. The 50 mA normally persist for the entire 4-week source service cycles. Fundamental processes are reviewed to elucidate the persistence of the SNS H- beams without a steady feed of Cs and why the Cs collar temperature may have to be kept near 170 degrees C.

SO REVIEW OF SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS

DT Article
AB Penning ion source performance for neutron generator applications is characterized by the atomic ion fraction and beam current density, providing two paths by which source performance can be improved for increased neutron yields. We have fabricated a Penning ion source to investigate novel methods for improving source performance, including optimization of wall materials and electrode geometry, advanced magnetic confinement, and integration of field emitter arrays for electron injection. Effects of several electrode geometries on discharge characteristics and extracted ion current were studied. Additional magnetic confinement resulted in a factor of two increase in beam current density. First results indicate unchanged proton fraction and increased beam current density due to electron injection from carbon nanofiber arrays. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics.

TI Electron cyclotron resonance ion source plasma chamber studies using a
network analyzer as a loaded cavity probe
SO REVIEW OF SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS
LA English
DT Article
AB A method and first results utilizing a network analyzer as a loaded cavity probe to study the resonance properties of a plasma filled electron cyclotron resonance ion source (ECRIS) plasma chamber are presented. The loaded cavity measurements have been performed using a dual port technique, in which two separate waveguides were used simultaneously. One port was used to ignite and sustain the plasma with a microwave source operating around 11 GHz and the other was used to probe the cavity properties with the network analyzer using a frequency range around 14 GHz. The first results obtained with the JYFL 14 GHz ECRIS demonstrate that the presence of plasma has significant effects on the resonance properties of the cavity. With plasma the frequency dependent behavior is strongly damped and this trend strengthens with increasing microwave power. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics. [doi: 10.1063/1.3660818]

TI Charge breeding results and future prospects with electron cyclotron
resonance ion source and electron beam ion source (invited)
SO REVIEW OF SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS
LA English
DT Article
ID ATLAS
AB The Californium Rare Ion Breeder Upgrade (CARIBU) of the Argonne National Laboratory ATLAS facility will provide low-energy and reaccelerated neutron-rich radioactive beams for the nuclear physics program. A 70 mCi Cf-252 source produces fission fragments which are thermalized and collected by a helium gas catcher into a low-energy particle beam with a charge of 1+ or 2+. An electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) ion source functions as a charge breeder in order to raise the ion charge sufficiently for acceleration in the ATLAS linac. The final CARIBU configuration will utilize a 1 Ci Cf-252 source to produce radioactive beams with intensities up to 10(6) ions/s for use in the ATLAS facility. The ECR charge breeder has been tested with stable beam injection and has achieved charge breeding efficiencies of 3.6% for Na-23(8+), 15.6% for Kr-84(17), and 13.7% for Rb-85(19+) with typical breeding times of 10 ms/charge state. For the first radioactive beams, a charge breeding efficiency of 11.7% has been achieved for Cs-143(27+) and 14.7% for Ba-143(27+). The project has been commissioned with a radioactive beam of Ba-143(27+) accelerated to 6.1 MeV/u. In order to take advantage of its lower residual contamination, an EBIS charge breeder will replace the ECR charge breeder in the next two years. The advantages and disadvantages of the two techniques are compared taking into account the requirements of the next generation radioactive beam facilities. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics.

TI H- radio frequency source development at the Spallation Neutron Source
SO REVIEW OF SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS
LA English
DT Article
AB The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) now routinely operates nearly 1 MW of beam power on target with a highly persistent similar to 38 mA peak current in the linac and an availability of similar to 90%. H- beam pulses (similar to 1 ms, 60 Hz) are produced by a Cs-enhanced, multicusp ion source closely coupled with an electrostatic low energy beam transport (LEBT), which focuses the 65 kV beam into a radio frequency quadrupole accelerator. The source plasma is generated by RF excitation (2 MHz, similar to 60 kW) of a copper antenna that has been encased with a thickness of similar to 0.7 mim of porcelain enamel and immersed into the plasma chamber. The ion source and LEBT normally have a combined availability of similar to 99%. Recent increases in duty-factor and RF power have made antenna failures a leading cause of downtime. This report first identifies the physical mechanism of antenna failure from a statistical inspection of similar to 75 antennas which ran at the SNS, scanning electron microscopy studies of antenna surface, and cross sectional cuts and analysis of calorimetric heating measurements. Failure mitigation efforts are then described which include modifying the antenna geometry and our acceptance/installation criteria. Progress and status of the development of the SNS external antenna source, a long-term solution to the internal antenna problem, are then discussed. Currently, this source is capable of delivering comparable beam currents to the baseline source to the SNS and, an earlier version, has briefly demonstrated unanalyzed currents up to similar to 100 mA (1 ms, 60 Hz) on the test stand. In particular, this paper discusses plasma ignition (dc and RF plasma guns), antenna reliability, magnet overheating, and insufficient beam persistence. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics.

DT Article
AB In this paper, an ongoing effort to provide a simulation and design tool for electron cyclotron resonance ion source extraction and low energy beam transport is described and benchmarked against experimental results. Utilizing the particle-in-cell code WARP, a set of scripts has been developed: A semiempirical method of generating initial conditions, a 2D-3D hybrid method of plasma extraction and a simple beam transport deck. Measured emittances and beam profiles of uranium and helium beams are shown and the influence of the sextupole part of the plasma confinement field is investigated. The results are compared to simulations carried out using the methods described above. The results show that the simulation model (with some additional refinements) represents highly charged, well-confined ions well, but that the model is less applicable for less confined, singly charged ions.

AB Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a main contributor to global warming, making up approximately 80% [1] of the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Therefore, a precise measurement of the atmospheric CO2 concentration is essential. Although a number of analytical techniques are available for measuring CO2 in air samples, laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) offers a relatively simple and straightforward analysis which is why it was utilized in this study. LIBS requires a simple experimental setup and offers real-time carbon dioxide measurement. The strong C(I) emission line at 247.85 nm was selected for CO2 measurement, which yielded a detection limit of 36 ppm with a pulse energy of 145 mJ. Real-time measurement has been demonstrated: a single measurement can be made in 40 s with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 3.6%. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB The ionic conductivity of a block copolymer electrolyte was measured in an in situ small-angle X-ray scattering experiment as it transitioned from an ordered lamellar structure to a disordered phase. The ionic conductivity increases discontinuously as the electrolyte transitions from order to disorder. A simple framework for quantifying the magnitude of the discontinuity is presented. This study lays the groundwork for understanding the effect of more complex phase transitions such as order-order transitions on ion transport.

AB In this work the accuracy and range of applicability of peak broadening models, from which dislocation densities can be extracted, is studied. For that purpose dislocation microstructures are generated via a discrete dislocation dynamics method and the internal elastic strains within the simulated volume are calculated. Diffraction peaks are generated from the simulations and a whole pattern line profile analysis method based on the Wilkens model is used to quantify the dislocation densities associated with the simulated microstructures. The work is applied to the case of face-centered cubic crystals deforming in coplanar slip. The accuracy of the analytical models is quantified by considering realistic three-dimensional microstructures containing curved dislocations with a specified distribution. The dependence and sensitivity of the analytical models upon dislocation density and long-range order are investigated. It was found that, provided the distribution of dislocations is rather homogeneous, line profile analysis provides fairly accurate predictions of the dislocation density.

AB Interfaces with relatively low shear strengths can be strong barriers to slip transmission because of core spreading of the dislocation within the interface. Using atomistic modeling and elasticity-based calculations we have studied the influence of interface shear strength on the slip transmission of a single dislocation across fcc/bcc interfaces. "Tunable" interatomic potentials were employed to vary the interface shear strength for the same interface crystallography. The results show that the slip transmission barrier increases with decreasing shear strength of the interface.

AB A combination of accumulative roll bonding (ARB) and rolling is used to fabricate nanolamellar Cu-Nb multilayers with individual layer thicknesses (h) of 600 mu m >= h >= 10 nm with a total strain imposed between 0.5 and 11.6. Neutron diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy are used to characterize the microstructures and measure orientation distribution functions of both phases as a function of layer thickness. Fiber plots are calculated from the orientation distribution functions in order to understand the texture evolution in the Cu and Nb layers with increasing strain. Results are compared with rolling studies of single phase Cu, single phase Nb, and cast Cu-20 wt.% Nb composite. Results indicate that textures develop in the Cu and Nb layers during ARB that are distinct from classical rolling textures frequently observed both in their single-phase counterparts and in rolled composites. The atypical texture that develops shows a preferential strengthening of specific beta fiber components at the expense of others in Cu and a strengthening of the alpha fiber at the expense of the gamma fiber in Nb. No dynamic recrystallization is observed in Cu, even at strains above 99.99%, further delineating the behavior from single phase and composite behavior previously observed. Viscoplastic self-consistent (VPSC) polycrystal simulations were carried out to provide an understanding of the texture evolution in accumulative roll bonding. Enforcing planar slip in Cu leads to texture evolution for VPSC consistent with observations. A reasonable fit for Nb could be produced via the selection of specific {1 1 0} and {1 1 2} slip systems.

AB After sliding contact of a hard spherical counterface on a metal surface, the resulting wear scar possesses a complex microstructure consisting of dislocations, dislocation cells, ultrafine or nanocrystalline grains, and material that has undergone dynamic recovery. There remains a controversy as to the mechanical properties of the tribolayer formed in this wear scar. To investigate the properties of this thin layer of damaged material in single crystal nickel, we employed two complementary techniques: pillar compression and nanoindentation. In both techniques, the tests were tailored to characterize the near surface properties associated with the top 500 nm of material, where the wear-induced damage was most extensive. Pillar compression indicated that the worn material was substantially softer than neighboring unworn base metal. However, nanoindentation showed that the wear track was substantially harder than the base metal. These apparently contradictory results are explained on the basis of source limited deformation. The worn pillars are softer than unworn pillars due to a pre-straining effect: undefected pillars are nearly free of dislocations, whereas worn pillars have pre-existing dislocations built in. Nanoindentation in worn material behaves harder than unworn single crystal nickel due to source length reduction from the fine-grained wear structure. (C) 2011 Acta Materialia Inc.

AB We present a method for characterizing the full five parameter heterophase interface character distributions (HICD) using two-dimensional electron back-scatter diffraction (EBSD) images. We apply the HICD method to determine the orientation relationships and three-dimensional normal vectors of Cu-Nb interfaces in both physical vapor-deposited (PVD) pure Cu-Nb (4 mu m individual layer thickness) and accumulative roll-bonded (ARB) alloyed Cu-Nb multilayer composites (200-600 nm layer thickness). The HICD analysis shows that {112}(Cu) planes arc most preferentially and frequently bonded with {112)(Nb) planes with Kurdjumov-Sachs and Nishiyama-Wasserman misorientations in the ARB alloyed Cu-Nb multilayers. These interfaces differ from the {111}(Cu)parallel to{110}(Nb) interfaces predominantly found in the PVD pure Cu-Nb multilayered thin films. Also, pure tilt type interfaces with a [111]/30 degrees misorientation and {110}(Cu) planes bonded to {112}(Nb) planes were found in ARB alloyed Cu-Nb multilayers. In the ARB material the observed Cu-Nb interfaces differ from what would be obtained from random pairings of the Cu and Nb orientations in terms of the relative intensities (in multiples of random distribution) and shapes of the interface normal peaks, which indicates that these interfaces were preferentially selected during the high strain ARB process. The measured ARB textures along the interface also differ from the theoretical rolling textures for each bulk single phase metal, suggesting that during ARB layer refinement these interfaces have some influence on slip activity by constraining grain deformation or through the kinetics of dislocation interface interactions.

AB Mechanically alloyed, nanostructured ferritic steels represent a class of alloys that can display high resistance to radiation and creep deformation, which are derived from the presence of nanoclusters, precipitates and solute segregation to the grain boundaries. The creep responses for a 14YWT nanostructured ferritic steel were measured over a range of temperatures and stress levels. The stress exponent was observed to vary non-linearly with applied stress; stress exponents were found to decrease with decreasing stress approaching unity at low stress. Transmission electron microscopy studies clearly demonstrated that creep deformation proceeds by a dislocation glide within nanoscale grains and that glide dislocations are attracted to and pinned by nanoclusters. In light of these observations, a new model of the creep response, inspired by the Kocks-Argon-Ashby model, is developed to explain the low creep rates and small stress exponents that are exhibited by these alloys.

AB WRN is a RecQ helicase with an associated exonuclease activity important in DNA metabolism, including DNA replication, repair and recombination. In humans, deficiencies in WRN function cause the segmental progeroid Werner syndrome (WS), in which patients show premature onset of many hallmarks of normal human ageing. At the cellular level, WRN loss results in rapid replicative senescence, chromosomal instability and sensitivity to various DNA damaging agents including the topoisomerase inhibitor, camptothecin (CPT). Here, we investigate the potential of using either transient or stable WRN knockdown as a means of sensitising cells to CPT. We show that targeting WRN mRNA for degradation by either RNAi or hammerhead ribozyme catalysis renders human fibroblasts as sensitive to CPT as fibroblasts derived from WS patients, and furthermore, we find altered cell cycle transit and nucleolar destabilisation in these cells following CPT treatment. Such WS-like phenotypes are observed despite very limited decreases in total WRN protein, suggesting that levels of WRN protein are rate-limiting for the cellular response to camptothecin. These findings have major implications for development of anti-WRN agents that may be useful in sensitising tumour cells to clinically relevant topoisomerase inhibitors.

AB A cellular automaton (CA)-finite element (FE) model and a phase field (PF)-FE model were used to simulate equiaxed dendritic growth during the solidification of hexagonal metals. In the CA-FE model, the conservation equations of mass and energy were solved in order to calculate the temperature field, solute concentration, and the dendritic growth morphology. CA-FE simulation results showed reasonable agreement with the previously reported experimental data on secondary dendrite arm spacing (SDAS) vs cooling rate. In the PF model, a PF variable was used to distinguish solid and liquid phases similar to the conventional PF models for solidification of pure materials. Another PF variable was considered to determine the evolution of solute concentration. Validation of both models was performed by comparing the simulation results with the analytical model developed by Lipton-Glicksman-Kurz (LGK), showing quantitatively good agreement in the tip growth velocity at a given melt undercooling. Application to magnesium alloy AZ91 (approximated with the binary Mg-8.9 wt% Al) illustrates the difficulty of modeling dendrite growth in hexagonal systems using CA-FE regarding mesh-induced anisotropy and a better performance of PF-FE in modeling multiple arbitrarily-oriented dendrites growth.

AB Background and Objectives The success of permanent laser hair removal suggests that selective photothermolysis (SP) of sebaceous glands, another part of hair follicles, may also have merit. About 30% of sebum consists of fats with copious CH2 bond content. SP was studied in vitro, using free electron laser (FEL) pulses at an infrared CH2 vibrational absorption wavelength band.
Methods: Absorption spectra of natural and artificially prepared sebum were measured from 200 to 3,000 nm, to determine wavelengths potentially able to target sebaceous glands. The Jefferson National Accelerator superconducting FEL was used to measure photothermal excitation of aqueous gels, artificial sebum, pig skin, human scalp, and forehead skin (sebaceous sites). In vitro skin samples were exposed to FEL pulses from 1,620 to 1,720 nm, spot diameter 7-9.5 mm with exposure through a cold 48C sapphire window in contact with the skin. Exposed and control tissue samples were stained using H& E, and nitroblue tetrazolium chloride staining (NBTC) was used to detect thermal denaturation.
Results: Natural and artificial sebum both had absorption peaks near 1,210, 1,728, 1,760, 2,306 and 2,346 nm. Laser-induced heating of artificial sebum was approximately twice that of water at 1,710 and 1,720 nm, and about 1.5 x higher in human sebaceous glands than in water. Thermal camera imaging showed transient focal heating near sebaceous hair follicles. Histologically, skin samples exposed to similar to 1,700 nm, similar to 100-125 milliseconds pulses showed evidence of selective thermal damage to sebaceous glands. Sebaceous glands were positive for NBTC staining, without evidence of selective loss in samples exposed to the laser. Epidermis was undamaged in all samples.
Conclusions: SP of sebaceous glands appears to be feasible. Potentially, optical pulses at similar to 1,720 or similar to 1,210 nm delivered with large beam diameter and appropriate skin cooling in approximately 0.1 seconds may provide an alternative treatment for acne.

AB Interest in the application of advanced proteomics technologies to human blood plasma- or serum-based clinical samples for the purpose of discovering disease biomarkers continues to grow: however, the enormous dynamic range of protein concentrations in these types of samples (often >10 orders of magnitude) represents a significant analytical challenge, particularly for detecting low-abundance candidate biomarkers. In response, immunoaffinity separation methods for depleting multiple high- and moderate-abundance proteins have become key tools for enriching low-abundance proteins and enhancing detection of these proteins in plasma proteomics. Herein, we describe IgY14 and tandem IgY14-Supermix separation methods for removing 14 high-abundance and up to 60 moderate-abundance proteins, respectively, from human blood plasma and highlight their utility when combined with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry for interrogating the human plasma proteome.

AB The development of integrated photonics and lab-on-a-chip platforms for environmental and biomedical diagnostics demands ultraviolet electroluminescent materials with high mechanical, chemical and environmental stability and almost complete compatibility with existing silicon technology. Here we report the realization of fully inorganic ultraviolet light-emitting diodes emitting at 390 nm with a maximum external quantum efficiency of similar to 0.3%, based on SnO2 nanoparticles embedded in SiO2 thin films obtained from a solution-processed method. The fabrication involves a single deposition step onto a silicon wafer followed by a thermal treatment in a controlled atmosphere. The fully inorganic architecture ensures superior mechanical robustness and optimal chemical stability in organic solvents and aqueous solutions. The versatility of the fabrication process broadens the possibility of optimizing this strategy and extending it to other nanostructured systems for designed applications, such as active components of wearable health monitors or biomedical devices.

AB Fabricating complex transition metal oxides with a tunable bandgap without compromising their intriguing physical properties is a longstanding challenge. Here we examine the layered ferroelectric bismuth titanate and demonstrate that, by site-specific substitution with the Mott insulator lanthanum cobaltite, its bandgap can be narrowed by as much as 1 eV, while remaining strongly ferroelectric. We find that when a specific site in the host material is preferentially substituted, a split-off state responsible for the bandgap reduction is created just below the conduction band of bismuth titanate. This provides a route for controlling the bandgap in complex oxides for use in emerging oxide optoelectronic and energy applications.

AB Lateral metre-scale periodic variations in porosity and composition are found in many dolomite strata. Such variations may embed important information about dolomite formation and transformation. Here we show that these variations could be fossilized chemical waves emerging from stress-mediated mineral-water interaction during sediment burial diagenesis. Under the overlying loading, crystals in higher porosity domains are subjected to a higher effective stress, causing pressure solution. The dissolved species diffuse to and precipitate in neighbouring lower porosity domains, further reducing the porosity. This positive feedback leads to lateral porosity and compositional patterning in dolomite. The pattern geometry depends on fluid flow regimes. In a diffusion-dominated case, the low-and high-porosity domains alternate spatially with no directional preference, while, in the presence of an advective flow, this alternation occurs only along the flow direction, propagating like a chemical wave. Our work provides a new perspective for interpreting diagenetic signatures in sedimentary rocks.

AB This paper applies electromagnetic sounding methods for Earth's mantle to constrain its thermal state, chemical composition, and "water" content. We consider long-period inductive response functions in the form of C-responses from four stations distributed across the Earth (Europe, North America, Asia and Australia) covering a period range from 3.9 to 95.2 days and sensitivity to similar to 1200 km depth. We invert C-responses directly for thermo-chemical state using a self-consistent thermodynamic method that computes phase equilibria as functions of pressure, temperature, and composition (in the Na2O-CaO-FeO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 model system). Computed mineral modes are combined with recent laboratory-based electrical conductivity models from independent experimental research groups (Yoshino (2010) and Karato (2011)) to compute bulk conductivity structure beneath each of the four stations from which C-responses are estimated. To reliably allocate water between the various mineral phases we include laboratory-measured water partition coefficients for major upper mantle and transition zone minerals. This scheme is interfaced with a sampling-based algorithm to solve the resulting non-linear inverse problem. This approach has two advantages: (1) It anchors temperatures, composition, electrical conductivities, and discontinuities that are in laboratory-based forward models, and (2) At the same time it permits the use of geophysical inverse methods to optimize conductivity profiles to match geophysical data. The results show lateral variations in upper mantle temperatures beneath the four stations that appear to persist throughout the upper mantle and parts of the transition zone. Calculated mantle temperatures at 410 and 660 km depth lie in the range 1250-1650 degrees C and 1500-1750 degrees C, respectively, and generally agree with the experimentally-determined temperatures at which the measured phase reactions olivine -> beta-spinel and gamma-spinel -> ferropericlase + perovskite occur. The retrieved conductivity structures beneath the various stations tend to follow trends observed for temperature with the strongest lateral variations in the uppermost mantle; for depths >300 km conductivities appear to depend less on the particular conductivity database. Conductivities at 410 km and at 660 km depth are found to agree overall with purely geophysically-derived global and semi-global one-dimensional conductivity models. Both electrical conductivity databases point to <0.01 wt.% H2O in the upper mantle. For transition zone minerals results from the laboratory database of Yoshino (2010) suggest that a much higher water content (up to 2 wt.% H2O) is required than in the other database (Karato, 2011), which favors a relatively "dry" transition zone (<0.01 wt.% H2O). Incorporating laboratory measurements of hydrous silicate melting relations and available conductivity data allows us to consider the possibility of hydration melting and a high-conductivity melt layer above the 410-km discontinuity. The latter appears to be 1) regionally localized and 2) principally a feature from the Yoshino (2010) database. Further, there is evidence of lateral heterogeneity: The mantle beneath southwestern North America and central China appears "wetter" than that beneath central Europe or Australia.

AB U.S. national time series data on vehicle travel by passenger cars and light trucks covering the period 1966-2007 are used to test for the existence, size and stability of the rebound effect for motor vehicle fuel efficiency on vehicle travel. The data show a statistically significant effect of gasoline price on vehicle travel but do not support the existence of a direct impact of fuel efficiency on vehicle travel. Additional tests indicate that fuel price effects have not been constant over time, although the hypothesis of symmetry with respect to price increases and decreases is not rejected. Small and Van Dender (2007) model of a declining rebound effect with income is tested and similar results are obtained. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A price-run simulation suggests that a farmgate price of $58.42 Mg-1 ($53.00 dry ton(-1)) is needed to procure this supply, while a demand-run simulation suggests that prices of $34.56 and $71.61 Mg-1 ($30.00 and $62.00 dry ton(-1)) in are needed in 2012 and 2022, respectively, to procure the same supply, under baseline yield assumptions. Grower payments are reported as farmgate price minus resource-specific harvest costs. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB We update previous frequentist analyses of the CMSSM and NUHM1 parameter spaces to include the public results of searches for supersymmetric signals using similar to 1/fb of LHC data recorded by ATLAS and CMS and similar to 0.3/fb of data recorded by LHCb in addition to electroweak precision and B-physics observables. We also include the constraints imposed by the cosmological dark matter density and the XENON100 search for spin-independent dark matter scattering. The LHC data set includes ATLAS and CMS searches for jets + (sic)(T) events and for the heavier MSSM Higgs bosons, and the upper limits on BR(Bs -> mu(+)mu(-)) from LHCb and CMS. The absences of jets + (sic)(T) signals in the LHC data favour heavier mass spectra than in our previous analyses of the CMSSM and NUHM1, which may be reconciled with (g - 2) (mu) if tan beta similar to 40, a possibility that is, however, under pressure from heavy Higgs searches and the upper limits on BR(B-s -> mu(+)mu(-)). As a result, the p-value for the CMSSM fit is reduced to similar to 15(38)%, and that for the NUHM1 to similar to 16(38)%, to be compared with similar to 9(49)% for the Standard Model limit of the CMSSM for the same set of observables (dropping (g - 2)(mu)), ignoring the dark matter relic density. We discuss the sensitivities of the fits to the (g - 2)(mu) and BR(b -> s gamma) constraints, contrasting fits with and without the (g - 2)(mu) constraint, and combining the theoretical and experimental errors for BR(b -> s gamma) linearly or in quadrature. We present predictions for m((g) over tilde), BR(B-s -> mu(+)mu(-)), M-h and MA, and update predictions for spin-independent dark matter scattering, incorporating the uncertainty in the p-nucleon sigma term Sigma(pi N).

AB Oxomanganese(V) species have been implicated in a variety of biological and synthetic processes, including their role as a key reactive center within the oxygen-evolving complex in photosynthesis. Nearly all mononuclear Mn-V-oxo complexes have tetragonal symmetry, producing low-spin species. A new high-spin Mn-V-oxo complex that was prepared from a well-characterized oxomanganese(III) complex having trigonal symmetry is now reported. Oxidation experiments with [FeCp2](+) were monitored with optical and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopies and support a high-spin oxomanganese(V) complex formulation. The parallel-mode EPR spectrum has a distinctive S = 1 signal at g = 4.01 with a six-line hyperfine pattern having A(z) = 113 MHz. The presence of an oxo ligand was supported by resonance Raman spectroscopy, which revealed O-isotope-sensitive peaks at 737 and 754 cm(-1) assigned as a Fermi doublet centered at 746 cm(-1) (Delta O-18 = 31 cm(-1)). Mn K beta X-ray emission spectra showed K beta' and K beta(1,3) bands at 6475.92 and 6490.50 eV, respectively, which are characteristic of a high-spin Mn-V center.

TI Equilibrium Isotope Effects on Noncovalent Interactions in a

AB The self-assembled supramolecular complex [Ga4L6](12-) (1; L = 1,5-bis[2,3-dihydroxybenzamido]naphthalene) can act as a molecular host in aqueous solution and bind cationic guest molecules to its highly charged exterior Surface or within its hydrophobic interior cavity. The distinct internal cavity of host 1 modifies the physical properties and reactivity of bound guest molecules and can be used to catalyze a variety of chemical transformations. Noncovalent host-guest interactions in large part control guest binding, molecular recognition and the chemical reactivity of bound guests. Herein we examine equilibrium isotope effects (ELEs) on both exterior and-interior guest binding to host 1 and use these effects to probe the details of noncovalent host-guest interactions. For both interior and exterior binding of a benzylphosphonium guest in aqueous solution, protiated guests are found to bind more strongly to host 1 (K-H/K-D > 1) and the preferred association of protiated guests is driven by enthalpy and opposed by entropy. Deuteration of guest methyl and benzyl C-H bonds results in a larger EIE than deuteration of guest aromatic C-H bonds. The observed Ems can be well explained by considering changes in guest vibrational force constants and zero-point energies. DFT calculations further confirm the origins of these EIEs and suggest that changes in low-frequency guest C-HID vibrational motions (bends, wags, etc.) are primarily responsible for the observed EIEs.

AB Hydrogen bond interactions in small covalent model compounds (i.e., deprotonated polyhydroxy alcohols) were measured by negative ion photoelectron spectroscopy. The experimentally determined vertical and adiabatic electron detachment energies for (HOCH2CH2)(2)CHO- (2a), (HOCH2CH2)(3)CO- (3a), and (HOCH2CH2CH(OH)CH2)(3)CO- (4a) reveal that hydrogen-bonded networks can provide enormous stabilizations and that a single charge center not only can be stabilized by up to three hydrogen bonds but also can increase the interaction energy between noncharged OH groups by 5.8 kcal mol(-1) or more per hydrogen bond. This can lead to pK(a) values that are very different from those in water and can provide some of the impetus for catalytic processes.

AB The solution-processability of conjugated polymers in organic solvents has classically been achieved by modulating the size and branching of alkyl substituents appended to the backbone. However, these substituents impact structural order and charge transport properties in thin-film devices. As a result, a trade-off must be found between material solubility and insulating alkyl content. It was recently shown that the substitution of furan for thiophene in the backbone of the polymer PDPP2FT significantly improves polymer solubility, allowing for the use of shorter branched side chains while maintaining high device efficiency. In this report, we use PDPP2FT to demonstrate that linear alkyl side chains can be used to promote thin-film nanostructural order. In particular, linear side chains are shown to shorten pi-pi stacking distances between backbones and increase the correlation lengths of both pi-pi stacking and lamellar spacing, leading to a substantial increase in the efficiency of bulk heterojunction solar cells.

AB The aqueous reaction of Mn-II and NaCN leads to the isolation of the 3-D Prussian blue analogue (PBA) Na2Mn[Mn(CN)(6)]center dot 2H(2)O (1 center dot H2O), which under careful dehydration forms 1. 1 center dot H2O is monoclinic [P2(1)/n, a = 10.66744(32) angstrom, b = 7.60223(23) angstrom, c = 7.40713(22) angstrom, beta = 92.4379(28)degrees], while 1 is rhombohedral [R (3) over bar, a = 6.6166(2) angstrom, c = 19.2585(6) angstrom], and both structures are atypical for PBAs, which are typically face centered cubic. Most notably, the average angle Mn-N-C angles are 165.3(3)degrees and 142.4(4)degrees for 1 center dot H2O and 1, respectively, which are significantly reduced from linearity. This is attributed to the ionic nature of high-spin Mn-II accommodating a reduced angle Mn-N-C to minimize void space. Both 1 and 1 center dot H2O magnetically order as ferrimagnets below their ordering temperature, T-c, of 58 and 30 K, respectively, as determined from the average of several independent methods. 1 and 1 center dot H2O are hard magnets with 5 K coercive fields of 15 300 and 850 Oe, and remnant magnetizations of 9075 and 102 emu.Oe/mol, respectively. These data along with previous T-c's reported for related materials reveal that T-c increases as the angle Mn-N-C deviates further from linearity.

AB Low-energy ion-beam irradiation (< 1 keV) during the concurrent deposition of cubic oxide materials results in the growth of crystallographically textured thin films. A model system, magnesium oxide (MgO). has been successfully used as a biaxially textured template film for the heteroepitaxial deposition of many materials with texture dependent properties like high temperature superconductors, tunable microwave materials, and ferroelectrics. Here, we present data on the initial nucleation of biaxial crystallographic texture in this model system using an in situ quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) substrate combined with in situ reflected high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED). Correlation of mass uptake with the RHEED images of the growing surface shows that the development of crystallographic biaxial texture in this material system occurs suddenly as the initially polycrystalline MgO films reaches a critical film thickness of 2 nm. This texture continues to improve during subsequent growth. A simple model shows that the effect is not due simply to coverage effects. We use a combination of in situ RHEED and ex situ transmission electron microscopy to further elucidate the mechanism of this sudden texture formation. We present a physical model to describe this behavior and explain the role of ion-to-atom arrival ratio and underlying nucleation surface on texture development. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.

AB We compare energy loss by ions and photons via electronic excitations in metals, insulators and semiconductors using optical data from synchrotron light-source measurements. The spectra of photon-induced transverse excitations differ markedly from those of longitudinal excitations by ions: photons give up all their energy to a single electronic excitation: charged particles produce a broad spectrum of excitations shifted toward higher energies by collective effects. The widths of these collective-mode resonances in insulators and semiconductors are significantly greater than those in metals reflecting shorter collective-mode lifetimes. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.

AB We have developed a multiscale modeling algorithm to incorporate both a Monte Carlo (MC) ion irradiation simulator and finite element analysis to simulate ion beam heating. The spatial distribution of displacements from the MC code was input into a 3-D FEA code to predict the temperature evolution upon ion bombardment. In order to simulate the flux effect, ions were introduced stochastically. We discuss the necessity to use both grid refinement and grid coarsening techniques to make such modeling possible, thus providing a basis to evaluate the impact on the microstructure of the substrate. The aforementioned approach was applied for the case of a 16 A cm(-2) beam of 6 key Ga+ ions to simulate FIB sample sectioning and thinning in a Si substrate. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.

AB A combination of in situ and ex situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) experiments was used to study the evolution of defect clusters during implantation of Xe at the energy of 700 key. Xenon has been implanted into CeO2 and Ce/LaO2 single crystal thin films up to doses of 1 x 10(17) ions/cm(2) at room temperature and 600 degrees C. The evolution of microstructure, especially the formation of solid-state precipitates, during irradiation is found to be a function of material composition, irradiation dose and irradiation temperature. The precipitates are either aggregated Xe in the solid state or metallic Ce due to the active redox reaction in CeO2 and Ce/LaO2. Further investigations with the help of X-ray techniques will be carried out in the future. Published by Elsevier B.V.

AB To help understand the mechanisms of irradiation-induced defect formation and evolution in nuclear fuel, systematic experimental efforts have been carried out. Ceria (CeO2) was selected as a surrogate material for Uranium Dioxide (UO2) due to many similar properties. lanthanum (La) was chosen as a dopant in CeO2 to investigate the effect of impurities. The presence of La in the CeO2 lattice introduces a predictable initial concentration of oxygen vacancies, making it possible to characterize hypostoichiometric effects in CeO2. The influence of two La concentrations, 5% and 25%, were examined.
In situ Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) experiments were used to study the evolution of defect clusters and the influence of irradiation with two common fission products: Xe and Kr. The irradiations were performed on thin film, single crystal materials. The irradiation damage caused formation of dislocation loopsat 600 degrees C and defect clusters at room temperature. Dislocation networks form as the result of interactions of defect clusters. The dislocation loops were determined to be mainly of 1/9[111] interstitial type loops. Quantitative results were obtained to characterize the fluence and temperature effects of irradiation. Slow defect kinetics were found with irradiation on 25% La doped CeO2 at 600 degrees C and it is attributed to the higher concentration of oxygen vacancies due to high La dopant level.

AB The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of stoichiometry in crystalline structure transformations in derivative fluorite compounds known as delta-gamma-beta phases in Sc2O3-ZrO2 phase diagram. Different composition polycrystalline delta-Sc4Zr3O12, gamma-Sc2Zr5O13 and beta-Sc2Zr7O17 samples were synthesized by mixing 40% Sc2O3 + 60% ZrO2, 16.67% Sc2O3 + 83.33% ZrO2, or 12.5% Sc2O3 + 87.5% ZrO2, respectively. The pressed and polished pellets of these compounds were then irradiated under liquid nitrogen temperature with 200 key Ne+ ions at a dose rate of similar to 1 x 10(12) ions/cm(2)/s. An order-to-disorder (O-D) transformation was observed for all compositions, as determined using grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD) at an incident angle of 0.25 degrees. The O-D transformation threshold dose for delta-Sc4Zr3O12 (similar to 0.2 dpa) was found to be noticeably higher than that for gamma-Sc2Zr5O13 and beta-Sc2Zr7O17 (similar to 0.04 dpa) based on both GIXRD and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (TEM) measurements. However, due to experimental difficulty and uncertainty, our GIXRD and TEM data were unable to conclusively confirm that the O-D transformation threshold dose for gamma-Sc2Zr5O13 is in fact slightly higher than that for beta-Sc2Zr7O17 as expected from the phase diagram of Sc2O3-ZrO2 system.

Cross-sectional TEM observations revealed that an amorphous bilayer consisting of amorphous Mn-Si and amorphous Si is formed on the topmost layer of the Si substrate. Atomic pair-distribution functions extracted from electron diffraction patterns indicated that short-range order of the amorphous Mn-Si thin layer is similar to the local atomic configuration of higher manganese silicides.

AB A gyrokinetic theory is developed under a set of orderings applicable to the edge region of tokamaks and other magnetic confinement devices, as well as to internal transport barriers. The result is a practical set equations that is valid for large perturbation amplitudes [q delta psi/T = O(1), where delta psi = delta phi - nu(parallel to)delta A(parallel to)/c], which is straightforward to implement numerically, and which has straightforward expressions for its conservation properties. Here, delta phi and delta A(parallel to) are the perturbed electrostatic and parallel magnetic potentials, nu(parallel to) is the particle velocity, c is the speed of light, and T is the temperature. The derivation is based on the quantity epsilon (rho/lambda(perpendicular to))q delta psi/T << 1 as the small expansion parameter, where rho is the gyroradius and lambda(perpendicular to) is the perpendicular wavelength. Physically, this ordering requires that the E x B velocity and the component of the parallel velocity perpendicular to the equilibrium magnetic field are small compared to the thermal velocity. For nonlinear fluctuations saturated at "mixing-length" levels (i.e., at a level such that driving gradients in profile quantities are locally flattened), epsilon is of the order rho/L-p, where L-p is the equilibrium profile scale length, for all scales lambda(perpendicular to) ranging from rho to L-p. This is true even though q delta psi/T = O(1) for). lambda(perpendicular to) similar to L-p. Significant additional simplifications result from ordering L-p/L-B = O(epsilon), where L-B is the spatial scale of variation of the magnetic field. We argue that these orderings are well satisfied in strong-gradient regions, such as edge and scrapeoff layer regions and internal transport barriers in tokamaks, and anticipate that our equations will be useful as a basis for simulation models for these regions.

TI Magnetohydrodynamic instabilities in radial foil configurations
SO PHYSICS OF PLASMAS
LA English
DT Article
ID PINCH
AB While detrimental to plasma performance, magnetohydrodynamic plasma instabilities in radial foil configurations do not preclude intense x-ray radiations from the central plasma column. At most of the plasma current flows there, the column pinches generating x-rays. However, pinch comes with a kink instability which twists the column and prevents homogeneous compression. This instability leads to the disruption of the plasma bubble surrounding the central plasma column. Loss of symmetry in the resulting plasma expansion has been recorded. It is possible to reduce the impact of instabilities by increasing the initial plasma mass. The central column can also be stabilized by using a central rod, delaying the formation of the kink.

ID BACTERIAL-SPORES; CONDUCTIVITY; EMISSION; VACUUM
AB A recent paper [L. R. Grisham, Phys. Plasmas 16, 043111 (2009)] proposed that a magnetic field which enveloped each of the electrodes in an electrostatic accelerator, along with their support structures, might suppress field emission of electrons and thus allows a higher electric field gradient to be applied between accelerator stages without the onset of vacuum electrical breakdown. Such a magnetic field configuration might be produced by flowing a substantial electric current through each accelerator grid and its support from high current low voltage supplies floated at each accelerator grid potential. This experimental note reports a preliminary exploratory test of whether this magnetic insulation approach might be of benefit at a modest magnetic field strength which could be suitable for practical accelerator applications. This experiment did not find evidence for an increase of the electrostatic potential gradient which could be sustained across a vacuum gap when the cathodic (electron-emitting) electrode was enveloped in a magnetic field of about 240 G. This note discusses a number of possible explanations for this observation as well as the inherent limitations of the experiment. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3683554]

TI Amended conjecture on an upper bound to time-dependent space-charge
limited current

ID ONE-DIMENSIONAL DIODE; CHILD-LANGMUIR LAW; VACUUM; FLOW
AB Notwithstanding the recent conjecture that the upper bound on the time-averaged current across a space-charge-limited diode is equal to the steady state Child-Langmuir limit (J(CL)), Zhu and Ang used a one-dimensional (ID) particle in cell (PIC) code to show that in the regime where space charge effects limit the current to only a few electrons at a time, the time-averaged current can exceed J(CL) by up to 13% [Y. Zhu and L. K. Ang, Appl. Phys. Lett. 98, 051502 (2011)]. These results are, in fact, verified using our own 1D PIC code. However, the increase in the current is due to special boundary conditions that pertain in this regime and not to the time dependence of the current. To rule out discreteness effects, the conjecture on the upper bound may be reformulated to include only the case when the electric field at the cathode does not fall below zero.

AB Linear gyrokinetic simulations are performed based on a high colt isionality NSTX discharge that is part of dimensionless confinement scaling studies. In this discharge, the microtearing mode is predicted to be unstable over a significant region of the plasma (r/a = 0.5-0.8), motivating comprehensive tests to verify the nature of the mode and how it scales with physical parameters. The mode is found to be destabilized with sufficient electron temperature gradient, collisionality, and beta, consistent with previous findings and simple theoretical expectations. Consistent with early slab theories, growth rates peak at a finite ratio of electron-ion collision frequency over mode frequency, nu(e/i)/omega similar to 1-6. Below this peak, the mode growth rate decreases with reduced collisionality, qualitatively consistent with global confinement observations. Also, in this region, increased effective ionic charge (Z(eff)) is found to be destabilizing. Experimental electron beta and temperature gradients are two to three times larger than the inferred linear thresholds. Increasing magnetic shear (s) and decreasing safety factor (q) are both destabilizing for ratios around the experimental values s/q = 0.6-1.3. Both the Z(eff) and s/q scaling are opposite to those expected for the ETG instability offering an opportunity to experimentally distinguish the two modes. Finally, we note that the kinetic ballooning mode is found to compete with the microtearing mode at outer locations r/a >= 0.8. [doi:10.1063/1.3685698]

AB Direct analysis of internal magnetic field pitch angles measured using the motional Stark effect diagnostic shows m/n = 2/1 neoclassical tearing modes exhibit stronger poloidal magnetic flux-pumping than typical hybrids containing m/n = 3/2 modes. This flux-pumping causes the avoidance of sawteeth, and is present during partial electron cyclotron current drive suppression of the tearing mode. This finding could lead to hybrid discharges with higher normalized fusion performance at lower q(95). The degree of edge localized mode-neoclassical tearing mode (ELM-NTM) coupling and the strength of flux-pumping increase with beta and the proximity of the modes to the ELMing pedestal. Flux-pumping appears independent of magnetic island width. Individual ELM-NTM coupling events show a rapid timescale drop in the island width followed by a resistive recovery that is successfully modeled using the modified Rutherford equation. The fast transient drop in island width increases with ELM size. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics. [doi :10.1063/1.3684648]

AB The structure of shocks that form at the exhaust boundaries during collisionless reconnection of anti-parallel fields is studied using particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations and modeling based on the an isotropic magnetohydrodynamic equations. Large-scale PIC simulations of reconnection and companion Riemann simulations of shock development demonstrate that the pressure anisotropy produced by counterstreaming ions within the exhaust prevents the development of classical Petschek switch-off-slow shocks (SSS). The shock structure that does develop is controlled by the firehose stability parameter epsilon = 1 - mu(0) (P-parallel to-P-perpendicular to)/B-2 through its influence on the speed order of the intermediate and slow waves. Here, P-parallel to and P-perpendicular to are the pressure parallel and perpendicular to the local magnetic field. The exhaust boundary is made up of a series of two shocks and a rotational wave. The first shock takes epsilon from unity upstream to a plateau of 0.25 downstream. The condition epsilon = 0.25 is special because at this value, the speeds of nonlinear slow and intermediate waves are degenerate. The second slow shock leaves epsilon = 0.25 unchanged but further reduces the amplitude of the reconnecting magnetic field. Finally, in the core of the exhaust, epsilon drops further and the transition is completed by a rotation of the reconnecting field into the out-of-plane direction. The acceleration of the exhaust takes place across the two slow shocks but not during the final rotation. The result is that the outflow speed falls below that expected from the Walen condition based on the asymptotic magnetic field. A simple analytic expression is given for the critical value of epsilon within the exhaust below which SSSs no longer bound the reconnection outflow. [doi:10.1063/1.3685755]

These limits occur in moderately undercritical plasmas and are imposed by combined effects of moderately small group velocity dispersion and relativistic electron nonlinearity of the amplified pulses. The efficient BRA range covered by this theory is broader than one known previously. This can be useful for BRA of x-ray pulses in regular or compressed solids and ultra-powerful optical pulses in the lowest density solids. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics.

AB Two-plasmon-decay (TPD) instability is identified as a potential source of target preheat in direct-drive-implosion experiments on OMEGA. A physical model of electron heating is developed that relies on extended Zakharov simulations to predict the nonlinearly saturated Langmuir wave spectrum. Hot electron generation is estimated via a test-particle approach. It is noted that because of the relatively low areal density of the targets during the time of TPD instability, hot-electron recirculation and reheating are potentially important effects. This is modeled by a particular form of boundary conditions on the test particles. Such boundary conditions might prove useful in other kinetic simulations of particle heating where recirculation is a possibility. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3683004]

AB The magnetized liner inertial fusion concept [S. A. Slutz et al., Phys. Plasmas 17, 056303 (2010)] consists of a cylindrical metal liner enclosing a preheated plasma that is embedded in an axial magnetic field. Because of its diffusion into the liner, the pulsed azimuthal magnetic field may exhibit a strong magnetic shear within the liner, offering the interesting possibility of shear stabilization of the magneto-Rayleigh-Taylor (MRT) instability. Here, we use the ideal MHD model to study this effect of magnetic shear in a finite slab. It is found that magnetic shear reduces the MRT growth rate in general. The feedthrough factor is virtually independent of magnetic shear. In the limit of infinite magnetic shear, all MRT modes are stable if b(u) > 1, where b(u) is the ratio of the perturbed magnetic tension in the liner's interior region to the acceleration during implosion.

AB We describe an experimental approach to image the three-dimensional (3D) momentum distribution of the negative ions arising from dissociative electron attachment (DEA). The experimental apparatus employs a low energy pulsed electron gun, an effusive gas source and a 4 pi solid-angle ion momentum imaging spectrometer consisting of a pulsed ion extraction field, an electrostatic lens, and a time- and position-sensitive detector. The time-of-Flight and impact position of each negative ion are measured event by event in order to image the full 3D ion momentum sphere. The system performance is tested by measuring the anion momentum distributions from two DEA resonances, namely H- from H2O- (B-2(1))and O- from O-2(-) ((2)Pi(u)). The results are compared with existing experimental and theoretical data. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics. [http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3685244]

DT Article
AB Photonic Doppler velocimetry (PDV) is a fiber-based interferometer used in dynamic compression research. Conventional PDV systems are simple to construct but do not perform well in all measurement conditions, while universal PDV systems that support many different configurations are complex and expensive. A simpler approach is the use of external, inverted circulators which can be added and removed in a modular fashion. This technique permits frequency-conversion measurements with a conventional PDV system. Using a correction to remove baseline effects, frequency conversion systems can resolve low velocity transients that conventional PDV cannot. 2012 American Institute of Physics.

AB A capillary absorption spectrometer (CAS) suitable for IR laser isotope analysis of small CO2 samples is presented. The system employs a continuous-wave (cw) quantum cascade laser to study nearly adjacent rovibrational transitions of different isotopologues of CO2 near 2307 cm(-1) (4.34 mu m). This initial CAS system can achieve relative isotopic precision of about 10 ppm C-13, or similar to 1 parts per thousand (per mil in delta notation relative to Vienna Pee Dee Belemnite) with 20-100 picomoles of entrained sample within the hollow waveguide for CO2 concentrations similar to 400-750 ppm. Isotopic analyses of such gas fills in a 1-mm ID hollow waveguide of 0.8 m overall physical path length can be carried out down to similar to 2 Torr. Overall C-13/C-12 ratios can be calibrated to similar to 2 parts per thousand accuracy with diluted CO2 standards. A novel, low-cost method to reduce cw-fringing noise resulting from multipath distortions in the hollow waveguide is presented, which allows weak absorbance features to be studied at the few ppm level (peak-to-rms) after 1000 scans are co-added in similar to 10 s. The CAS is meant to work directly with converted CO2 samples from a laser ablation-catalytic combustion micro-sampler to provide C-13/C-12 ratios of small biological isolates currently operating with spatial resolutions similar to 50 mu m.

AB We present a short working distance miniature x-ray emission spectrometer (miniXES) based on the cylindrical von Hamos geometry. We describe the general design principles for the spectrometer and detail a specific implementation that covers K beta and valence level emission from Fe. Large spatial and angular access to the sample region provides compatibility with environmental chambers, microprobe, and pump/probe measurements. The primary spectrometer structure and optic is plastic, printed using a 3-dimensional rapid-prototype machine. The spectrometer is inexpensive to construct and is portable; it can be quickly set up at any focused beamline with a tunable narrow bandwidth monochromator. The sample clearance is over 27 mm, providing compatibility with a variety of environment chambers. An overview is also given of the calibration and data processing procedures, which are implemented by a multiplatform user-friendly software package. Finally, representative measurements are presented. Background levels are below the level of the K beta(2,5) valence emission, the weakest diagram line in the system, and photometric analysis of count rates finds that the instrument is performing at the theoretical limit.

The beamline is to provide monochromatic radiation to three photoelectron microscopes: a full-field x-ray photoelectron emission microscope and two scanning instruments, one dedicated to angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (mu-ARPES) and one for ambient pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and scanning photoelectron microscopy (AP-XPS/SPEM). Microfocusing is achieved with state of the art elliptical cylinders, obtaining a spot size of 1 mu m for ARPES and 0.5 mu m for AP-XPS/SPEM. A detailed ray tracing analysis quantitatively evaluates the overall beamline performances. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics. [http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3681440]

AB Collection of representative samples of debris following inertial confinement fusion implosions in order to diagnose implosion conditions and efficacy is a challenging endeavor because of the unique conditions within the target chamber such as unconverted laser light, intense pulse of x-rays, physical chunks of debris, and other ablative effects. We present collection of gas samples following an implosion for the first time. High collection fractions for noble gases were achieved. We also present collection of solid debris samples on flat plate collectors. Geometrical collection efficiencies for Au hohlraum material were achieved and collection of capsule debris (Be and Cu) was also observed. Asymmetric debris distributions were observed for Au and Be samples. Collection of Be capsule debris was higher for solid collectors viewing the capsule through the laser entrance hole in the hohlraum than for solid collectors viewing the capsule around the waist of the hohlraum. Collection of Au hohlraum material showed the opposite pattern: more Au debris was collected around the waist than through the laser entrance hole. The solid debris collectors were not optimized for minimal Cu backgrounds, which limited the conclusions about the symmetry of the Cu debris. The quality of the data limited conclusions on chemical fractionation effects within the burning, expanding, and then cooling plasma. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics.

ID LOW-DENSITY; IONIZATION FRONTS; TARGETS; DRIVEN
AB We present a technique for measuring the propagation of a supersonic radiation front in low-density foam, where the lack of motion of the objects in its wake makes it difficult to determine its location. We illuminate a thin tracer foil embedded in the foam with a broadband x-ray source, and measure its changing absorption of these x rays as it ionizes. We record both spatial and spectral information of the heated tracer, and thus obtain its ionization state as a function of distance along the front propagation direction. We extrapolate this information to determine the state of the foam and the location of the radiation front. We present the experimental configuration used to test this technique at the Omega laser facility along with experimental results. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics.

AB An ionic liquid (IL) trihexyltetradecylphosphonium bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate has been investigated as a potential antiwear lubricant additive. Unlike most other ILs that have very low solubility in nonpolar fluids, this IL is fully miscible with various hydrocarbon oils. In addition, it is thermally stable up to 347 degrees C, showed no corrosive attack to cast iron in an ambient environment, and has excellent wettability on solid surface's (e g, contact angle on cast iron <8 degrees). Most importantly, this phosphonium-based IL has demonstrated effective antiscuffing and antiwear characteristics when blended with lubricating oils. For example, a 5 wt % addition into a synthetic base oil eliminated the scuffing failure experienced in neat oil and, as a,result; reduced the friction coefficient by 60% and the wear rate by 3 orders of magnitude. A synergistic effect on wear protection was observed with the current antiwear additive when added into a fully formulated engine oil. Nanostructure examination and composition analysis revealed a tribo-boundary film and subsurface plastic deformation zone for the metallic surface lubricated by the IL-containing lubricants. This protective boundary film is believed to be responsible for the IL's antiscuffing and antiwear functionality.

AB A series of 2d-hexagonally packed mesoporous silica nanoparticle Material with 10 nm pore diameter (MSN-10) covalently :functionalized with organic surface modifiers have been synthesized via a post-synthesis grafting method. The material structure has been characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, and nitrogen sorption analyses, and the free fatty acid (FFA) sequestration capacity and selectivity was investigated and quantified by thermogravimetric and GC/MS analysis. We discovered that aminopropyl functionalized 10 nm pore mesoporous silica nanoparticle material (AP-MSN-10) sequestered all available FFAs and left nearly all other molecules in solution from a simulated microalgal extract containing FFAs, sterols, terpenes, and triacylglycerides. We also demonstrated selective FFA sequestration from commercially;available microalgal oil.

AB Delayed conversion-electron and gamma-ray spectroscopy of A = 151 nuclei has been performed at the Lohengrin mass spectrometer of the ILL Grenoble. A previously reported 35.1-keV isomer of Pr-151 has been determined to decay by an E1 transition and its half-life of 50(8) mu s measured for the first time. These data has been complemented by high-fold gamma-ray coincidence data collected with the EUROGAM-II and GAMMASPHERE arrays of anti-Compton spectrometers to search for medium-spin excitations in these nuclei. The long half life of this isomer and the lack of intraband E1 transitions show an absence of strong octupole correlations in the observed states of Pr-151.

AB We have investigated nuclear fragmentation reactions of a relativistic Pb-208 beam. Ten isomeric states for nuclei with A = 142-152 and Z = 62-67 were observed. Measured isomeric ratios were compared, together with values from other experiments, with prediction of theoretical models. The discrepancies between the experimental and theoretical values were discussed in terms of transitions by-passing the isomer that are not included in the models.

Four decays with two-proton tracks clearly corresponding to two-proton radioactivity were registered, providing the first direct evidence for this decay mode in Ni-48. The half-life of Ni-48 is determined to be T-1/2 = 2.1(-0.4)(+1.4) ms. The measured decay energy is 1.28(6) MeV.

AB To identify the atomic number of superheavy nuclei produced in Ca-48-induced fusion-evaporation reactions, an experiment aiming at measuring characteristic X-rays is being prepared at GSI, Darmstadt, Germany. The gas-filled separator TASCA will be employed, sending the residues towards the multi-coincidence detector setup TASISpec. Two ion-optical modes relying on differing magnetic polarities of the quadrupole magnets can be used at TASCA. New simulations and experimental tests of transmission and background suppression for these two focusing modes into TASISpec are presented.

AB This study focuses on continuum model validation of the flow of air and small catalyst particles in a circulating fluidized bed. Comparison with available experimental data of pressure drop and solids circulation rate in the riser clearly demonstrates the need to modify the homogeneous drag model to accurately predict the formation of clusters of particles, which are typically observed in the fluidization of small particles. The need to correct the drag law is also demonstrated in simulations of polydisperse powder flows wherein three solids species are used to represent a typical catalyst size distribution. Finally, particle-wall friction is found to have the most significant effect on the vertical gas pressure gradient while particle-particle friction has only a minor effect.

AB Field experiments at Montana State University are conducted for the U.S. Department of Energy as part of the Zero Emissions Research and Technology Center (ZERT) to test and verify monitoring techniques for carbon capture and storage (CCS). A controlled release of CO2 with an added perfluorocarbon tracer was conducted in July 2009 in a multi-laboratory study of atmospheric transport and detection technologies. Tracer plume dispersion was measured with various meteorological conditions using a tethered balloon system with Multi-Tube Remote Samplers (MTRS) at elevations of 10 m, 20 m, and 40 m above ground level (AGL), as well as a ground-based portable tower with monitors containing sorbent material to collect the tracer at 1 m, 2 m, 3 m, and 4 m AGL Researchers designed a horizontal grid of sampling locations centered at the tracer plume source, with the tower positioned at 10 m and 30 m in both upwind and downwind directions, and the MTRS spaced at 50 m and 90 m downwind and 90 m upwind. Tracer was consistently detected at elevated concentrations at downwind sampling locations. With very few exceptions, higher tracer concentrations correlated with lower elevations. Researchers observed no statistical difference between sampling at 50 m and 90 m downwind at the same elevation. The US EPA AERMOD model applied using site-specific information predicted transport and dispersion of the tracer. Model results are compared to experimental data from the 2009 ZERT experiment. Successful characterization of the tracer plume simulated by the ZERT experiment is considered a step toward demonstrating the feasibility of remote sampling with unmanned aerial systems (UAS's) at future sequestration sites.

AB A wide range of numerical methods are available to integrate coupled differential equations for first-order decay networks. When greatly differing decay rates exist in a reaction network, the stiffness of ordinary differential equations increases and requires additional effort to obtain solutions numerically. Although analytical solutions are preferred, they are limited to relatively simple reaction networks and small numbers of species. In this paper, we propose a methodology for formulating analytical solutions of ODEs for an unlimited number of species and more generalized reaction networks, including multidaughter branching and multiparent converging reactions. The derivation of analytical solutions for user-defined first-order reaction networks is implicitly implemented as a generalized computer code. Then, derived analytical solutions of the first-order reactions are coupled with numerical solutions for transport using an operator-splitting scheme. The solution method is then used to obtain analytical solutions of transport systems coupled by complex decay networks. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB We present de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) measurements in the normal and in the superconducting state of LuNi2B2C. Inside the superconducting state, we observe quantum oscillations of a spherical Fermisurface sheet in all crystallographic directions. Apart from the field region close to the phase transition where a strong peak effect hampers the analysis of the dHvA signal, the additional damping of the quantum oscillations inside the superconducting state is much smaller than expected from theory. For the magnetic field aligned along the [100] direction, three different dHvA frequencies are visible in the superconducting state. In particular, the orbit related to a cushion-like Fermi surface does not show any additional damping at and below the upper critical field contrary to theoretical expectations of simple effective one-band theories. Consequently, the superconducting gap on this Fermi-surface sheet can only evolve at lower fields than the observed bulk critical field, B-c2 approximate to 8 T, which clearly points to a Fermi-surface-sheet-dependent gap opening in LuNi2B2C.

AB Multiple-quantum-well light-emitting diode (LED) structures of InGaN/GaN were grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition on Si(111) substrates via ZrB2(0001) buffer layers and a GaN template comprising composite AlxGa1-xN (where x lies in the range from 0 to 1) transition layers to minimize cracking due to thermal expansion mismatch between Si and GaN. Photoluminescence and electroluminescence results from the LED structures compared favorably with similar measurements obtained on identical LED structures grown on sapphire substrates. However, in spite of all the precautions taken, cracking was still present in the LED structures. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy in plan-view and cross-section geometries were conducted on the LED structures to examine the presence and the influence of various defects such as microvoids, micropipes, and threading dislocations on the mechanism of cracking. Our results suggest that the crack network propagates from microvoids on the surface of the LED structure. The formation of microvoids appears to originate from imperfections in the epitaxial ZrB2(0001) buffer layer. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3684557]

AB We present dielectric function epsilon=epsilon(1) + i epsilon(2) spectra and critical-point energies of Cu2ZnSnSe4 determined by spectroscopic ellipsometry from 0.5 to 9.0 eV. We reduce artifacts from surface overlayers to the maximum extent possible by performing chemical-mechanical polishing and wet-chemical etching of the surface of a Cu2ZnSnSe4 thin film. Ellipsometric data are analyzed by the multilayer model and the epsilon spectra are extracted. The data exhibit numerous spectral features associated with critical points, whose energies are obtained by fitting standard lineshapes to second energy derivatives of the data. The experimental results are in good agreement with the a spectra calculated within the GW quasi-particle approximation, and possible origins of the pronounced critical-point structures are identified.

TI Magneto-resistance of organic spin valves due to spin-polarized tunnel
injection and extraction of charge carriers
SO JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS
LA English
DT Article
ID SEMICONDUCTORS; SPINTRONICS; INTERFACE
AB Spin-polarized tunnel injection and extraction of charge carriers can give rise to magneto-resistance in organic spin valves. To describe this magneto-resistance. the tunneling process is modeled as a transfer of electrons through a thin insulating layer between a ferromagnetic contact and an organic semiconductor. Transition rates between extended states in the metal and model "molecular" orbitals localized at the semiconductor/insulator interface are calculated based on a transfer Hamiltonian. The transition rates are then used in a rate equation model to calculate the injected current for the two spin types and the associated magneto-resistance of organic spin valves. Consistent with experimental data, it is found that the magneto-resistance can be of either sign and its magnitude strongly decreases with the applied bias. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics.

ID THERMOELECTRIC-MATERIALS; CACD2SB2; CAAL2SI2
AB Single crystals of CaZn2Sb2, EuZn2Sb2, and YbZn2Sb2 were grown from melts of nominal composition AZn(5)Sb(5) (A =Ca,Eu,Yb) with the excess melt being removed at 1073 K. The electrical transport properties are consistent with those previously reported for polycrystalline samples. This confirms that the p-type carrier concentrations ranging from 2 x 10(19) cm(-3) to similar to 1 x 10(20) cm(-3) are intrinsic to these materials. Also consistent with transport in polycrystalline materials, the carrier mobility is found to be lowest in CaZn2Sb2, suggesting the trends in mobility and thermoelectric efficiency within these compounds are inherent to the material systems and not due to inhomogeneity or impurities in polycrystalline samples. These results suggest CaZn2Sb2 has the strongest coupling between the doping/defects and the electronic framework. Magnetization measurements reveal an antiferromagnetic transition near 13 K in EuZn2Sb2, and the observed magnetic anisotropy indicates the spins align parallel and anti-parallel to c in the trigonal lattice. Powder neutron diffraction on polycrystalline samples of CaZn2Sb2 and YbZn2Sb2 reveals smooth lattice expansion to 1000 K, with c expanding faster than a. The Debye temperatures calculated from specific heat capacity data and the isotropic displacement parameters are found to correlate with the carrier mobility, with the CaZn2Sb2 displaying the largest Debye temperature and smallest mobility.

AB The injection-dependent lifetimes of different levels of Ni-contaminated n-type Czochralski (CZ) silicon wafers were investigated using resonant-coupled photoconductance decay (RCPCD) and quasi-steady-state photoconductance technique (QSSPC). The lifetime degradation of the most heavily contaminated samples was caused by Ni suicide precipitates at the surface of the wafers. The impact on lifetime was determined by surface recombination velocities (SRV). SRV values from RCPCD were comparable to those extracted by the QSSPC technique. A direct correlation between minority carrier lifetime and the concentration of electrically active substitutional Ni and Ni suicide precipitate traps measured using deep level transient spectroscopy was established.

AB Crystalline porous materials have a variety of uses, such as for catalysis and separations. Identifying suitable materials for a given application can, in principle, be done by screening material databases. Such a screening requires automated high-throughput analysis tools that calculate topological and geometrical parameters describing pores. These descriptors can be used, to compare, select, group, and classify materials. Here, we present a descriptor that captures shape and geometry characteristics of pores. Together with proposed similarity measures, it can be used to perform diversity selection on a set of porous materials. Our representations are histogram encodings of the probe-accessible fragment of the Voronoi network representing the void space of a material. We discuss and demonstrate the application of our approach on the International Zeolite Association (IZA) database of zeolite frameworks and the Deem database of hypothetical zeolites, as well as zeolitic imidazolate frameworks constructed from IZA zeolite structures. The diverse structures retrieved by our method are complementary to those expected by emphasizing diversity in existing one-dimensional descriptors, e.g., surface area, and similar to those obtainable by a (subjective) manual selection based on materials' visual representations. Our technique allows for reduction of large sets of structures and thus enables the material researcher to focus efforts on maximally dissimilar structures.

AB In the present study, we report the exploration of binding modes of potent HIV-1 integrase (IN) inhibitors MK-0518 (raltegravir) and GS-9137 (elvitegravir) as well as chalcone and related amide IN inhibitors we recently synthesized and the development of 3D-QSAR models for integrase inhibition. Homology models of DNA-bound HIV-1 IN were constructed on the basis of the X-ray crystal structure of the foamy virus IN-DNA complex (PDB ID: 3L2T) and used for docking: The binding modes of raltegravir and elvitegravir in our homology models are in accordance with those in the foamy virus structure revealing interactions important for inhibitor-IN binding. To gain further insights into the structural requirement; for IN inhibition, three-dimensional quantitative structure activity relationship (3D-QSAR) studies were conducted using raltegravir, elvitegravir, and their analogs; our synthesized 3-keto salicylic acid IN inhibitor series; as well as other structurally related HIV-1 IN inhibitors. In the first part of the study with 103 compounds, atom-fit alignments, I and II, and docking-based alignment, III, were used to develop 3D-QSAR models 1, 2, and 3, respectively, each comprising comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) 3D-QSARs. This initial analysis indicated that the docking-based (structure-based) model 3 performed better than the atom-fit (ligand-based) models 1 and 2, in terms of statistical significance and robustness. Thus, the docking-based alignment was then subsequently used with an expanded data set of 296 compounds for building a more comprehensive 3D-QSAR, model 4. Model 4 afforded good q(2) values of 0.70 and 0.75 for CoMFA and CoMSIA 3D-QSARs, respectively, and showed good predictive performance on an external validation test set of 9 compounds with predictive r(2) values up to 0.71. The HIV IN-DNA homology model of biological relevance and the comprehensive 3D-QSAR models developed in the present study provide insights and new predictive tools for structure-based design, and optimization of IN inhibitors.

AB TOPMODEL predictions of surface runoff and subsurface flow are fundamentally developed on the basis of the topographic index distribution (TID). The scale dependency of the TID [i.e., dependency on the resolution of the digital elevation model (DEM) data used to compute the topographic indexes] determines that downscaling of the TID computed from a coarser resolution DEM to a finer resolution is needed before the TOPMODEL concepts can be applied to simulate hydrological processes at some larger scales than the scale of hillslopes. It was found that adjusting only the mean values cannot achieve an accurate downscaling of the TID because the difference between 2-m TIDs and the downscaled TIDs from a coarser resolution to 2 m through adjusting only mean values resulted in overestimation of the fraction of the saturation area and surface runoff under wet conditions and underestimation under dry conditions. It was found that downscaling by correcting for scale-dependencies in the first three moments of TIDs produced better predictions. A series of empirical relationships among mean, standard deviation, and coefficient of skewness of TIDs of nine catchments in eastern Tennessee at resolutions of 2, 10, and 100 m and 205 watersheds across the contiguous United States at resolutions of 10 m and 1 km were developed for downscaling TIDs from 1 km to 2 m through approximating TIDs by a 3-parameter gamma distribution function. The errors in the downscaled TIDs from 1 km to 10 m over 205 watersheds across the contiguous United States decreased with increasing watershed size and approached a minimum (approximately 6%) as the watershed drainage area was larger than approximately 500 km(2). With the constructed empirical relationships, topographic indexes computed from 1-km DEM can be scaled down to 2 m for reducing errors and uncertainties in the TOPMODEL-based general circulation model (GCM) hydrological simulations.

AB Pure samples of cis,cis- and trans,trans-1,4-difluorobutadiene-2-d(1) have been synthesized, and high-resolution (0.0015 cm(-1)) infrared spectra have been recorded for these nonpolar molecules in the gas phase. For the cis,cis isomer, the rotational structure in two C-type bands at 775 and 666 cm(-1) and one A-type band at 866 cm(-1) has been analyzed to yield a combined set of 2020 ground state combination differences (GSCDs). Ground state rotational constants fit to these GSCDs are A(0) = 0.4195790(4), B-0 = 0.0536508(8). and C-0 = 0.0475802(9) cm(-1). For the trans,trans isomer, three C-type bands at 856, 839. and 709 cm(-1) have been investigated to give a combined set of 1624 GSCDs. Resulting ground state rotational constants for this isomer are A(0) = 0.9390117(8), B-0 = 0.0389225(4), and C-0 = 0.0373778(3) cm(-1). Small inertial defects confirm the planarity of both isomers in the ground state. Upper state rotational constants have been determined for most of the transitions. The ground state rotational constants for the two isotopologues will contribute to the data set needed for determining semiexperimental equilibrium structures for the nonpolar isomers of 1,4-difluorobutadiene.

AB Supported catalysts, metal or oxide catalytic centers constructed on an underlying solid phase, are making an increasingly important contribution to heterogeneous catalysis. For example, in industry, supported catalysts are employed in selective oxidation, selective reduction, and polymerization reactions. Supported structures increase the thermal stability, dispersion, and surface area of the catalyst relative to the neat catalytic material. However, structural and mechanistic characterization of these catalysts presents a formidable challenge because traditional preparations typically afford complex mixtures of structures whose individual components cannot be Isolated. As a result, the characterization of supported catalysts requires a combination of advanced spectroscopies for their characterization, unlike homogeneous catalysts, which have relatively uniform structures and can often be characterized using standard methods. Moreover, these advanced spectroscopic techniques only provide ensemble averages and therefore do not Isolate the catalytic function of Individual components within the mixture. New synthetic approaches are required to more controllably tailor supported catalyst structures.
In this Account, we review advances in supported catalyst synthesis and characterization developed In our laboratories at Northwestern University. We first present an overview of traditional synthetic methods with a focus on supported vanadium oxide catalysts. We next describe approaches for the design and synthesis of supported polymerization and hydrogenation catalysts, using anchoring techniques which provide molecular catalyst structures with exceptional activity and high percentages of catalytically significant sites. We then highlight similar approaches for preparing supported metal oxide catalysts using atomic layer deposition and organometallic grafting. Throughout this Account, we describe the use of incisive spectroscopic techniques, including high-resolution solid state NMR, UV-visible diffuse reflectance (DRS), UV-Raman, and X-ray absorption spectroscopies to characterize supported catalysts. We demonstrate that it is possible to tailor and isolate defined surface species using a molecularly oriented approach. We anticipate that advances in catalyst design and synthesis will lead to a better understanding of catalyst structure and function and, thus, to advances in existing catalytic processes and the development of new technologies.

AB The title compound, [Zn-2(C42H38N9O3)(2)(NO3)(2)]center dot 2CH(3)CN center dot 0.5H(2)O, is a bis-phenolate-bridged dinuclear Zn-II complex. The asymmetric unit comprises half the zinc complex (the full complex is completed by the application of a centre of inversion), one acetonitrile solvent molecule and a quarter of a water molecule (located on a twofold axis with half-occupancy; H atoms were not located for this molecule). Each triazine-based multidentate ligand uses a phenolate group to bridge Zn-II ions, generating a Zn2O2 core. The Zn-II ions are five-coordinate, with an additional long Zn-O contact [2.6465 (16) angstrom], and include a semi-bidentate nitrate ion and a N,N ',O-tridentate mode of the ligand in the coordination sphere. Non-coordinating pyridine groups form intramolecular O-H center dot center dot center dot N hydrogen bonds with phenol groups. As suggested by the short O center dot center dot center dot O donor-acceptor distances between the disordered water molecules and phenol O atoms, these groups also participate in hydrogen bonding.

AB Microscopic strains associated with stress corrosion cracks have been investigated in stressed C-rings of Ni-16 Cr-9 Fe (Alloy 600) boiler tubing. Polychromatic X-ray microdiffraction was used to measure deviatoric strain tensors and the distribution of dislocations near cracks that had been propagated in electrochemically accelerated corrosion tests. An associated investigation of the C-ring-induced strains prior to corrosion showed significant tensile strain in the stress axis direction by the torsional closure of the alloy tube section in the C-ring test. Significant grain lattice rotation and pronounced plastic strain at some grain boundaries were noted. Stress-corrosion-cracking-generated intergranular cracks were produced in two Alloy 600 specimens after 6 h and 18 h tests. The diffraction patterns and resultant strain tensors were mapped around the cracked area to a 1 mu m spatial resolution. The strain tensor transverse to the crack growth direction showed tensile strain at the intergranular region just ahead of the crack tip for both specimens. Both cracks were found to follow grain boundary pathways that had the lowest angle of misorientation. Dislocation distributions within each grain were qualitatively obtained from the shapes of the diffraction spots and the effect of "hard" and "soft" grains on the crack pathway was explored for both 6 h and 18 h specimens. The Schmid factor of one of the grains adjacent to the crack at the 6 h and 18 h initiation sites was found to be the lowest, compared to Schmid factors calculated for surface grains away from the initiation site, and also along the crack path into the bulk.

AB How the chemical and topological short- to medium-range order develops in Al-Tb glass and its ultimate effect on the control of the high number density of face-centered-cubic-Al (fcc-Al) nuclei during devitrification are described. A combined study using high-energy X-ray diffraction (HEXRD), atom probe tomography (APT), transmission electron microscopy and fluctuation electron microscopy (FEM) was conducted in order to resolve the local structure in amorphous Al90Tb10. Reverse Monte Carlo simulations and Voronoi tessellation analysis based on HEXRD experiments revealed a high coordination of Al around Tb atoms in both liquid and amorphous states. APT results show Al-rich and Al-depleted regions within the as-quenched alloy. A network structure of Tb-rich clusters divides the matrix into nanoscale regions where Al-rich clusters are isolated. It is this finely divided network which allows the amorphous structure to form. Al-rich regions are the locus for fcc-Al crystallization, which occurs before the intermetallic crystallization. FEM reveals medium-range ordered regions similar to 2 nm in diameter, consistent with fcc-Al and trigonal-like Al3Tb crystal structures. We propose that the high coordination of Al around Tb limits diffusion in the intermetallic network, allowing for the isolated Al-rich regions to form at high density. These regions are responsible for the extremely high density of Al nanocrystal nuclei. (C) 2011 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB A calibrated Monte Carlo (cMC) approach, which quantifies grain boundary kinetics within a generic setting, is presented. The influence of misorientation is captured by adding a scaling coefficient in the spin flipping probability equation, while the contribution of different driving forces is weighted using a partition function. The calibration process relies on the established parametric links between Monte Carlo (MC) and sharp-interface models. The cMC algorithm quantifies microstructural evolution under complex thermomechanical environments and remedies some of the difficulties associated with conventional MC models. After validation, the cMC approach is applied to quantify the texture development of polycrystalline materials with influences of misorientation and inhomogeneous bulk energy across grain boundaries. The results are in good agreement with theory and experiments. (C) 2011 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB Nearly fully dense (>96% theoretical maximum density) powder mixture compacts with combinations of Nb, Ni, Mo, W, and Ta, with Al, were produced by explosive consolidation. The quasi-static and dynamic behavior and failure mechanisms were investigated experimentally and computationally. For two mixtures (Ni + Al, W + Al) the Al phase was continuous, while for the other three mixtures (Nb + Al, Ta + Al, Mo + Al), the Al phase was discontinuous. It was found that the continuous phase significantly influenced the mechanical response (in compression) and determined the fracture morphology of the compacts. Accordingly, the mixtures with continuous Al phases had the lowest compressive strength. Two distinct failure mechanisms, axial splitting and shear failure, were observed. Axial splitting occurred when the Al phase was continuous (Ni + Al, W + Al); shear failure was primarily associated with extensive deformation of the Nb, Ta and Mo continuous phases. Finite element simulations provide valuable help in interpreting the experimental results and predicting mechanical strength and failure mechanisms akin to those observed. The interfacial bonding strength is shown to be an important parameter in determining the mechanical response of the compacts. (C) 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd. on behalf of Acta Materialia Inc.

AB A "decoupling effect" (light-induced electron transport without O-2 evolution) was observed in Ca-depleted photosystem II (PSII(-Ca)) membranes, which lack PsbP and PsbQ (Semin et al. (2008) Photosynth. Res., 98, 235-249). Here PsbO-depleted PSII (PSII(-PsbO)) membranes (which also lack PsbP and PsbQ) were used to examine effects of PsbO on the decoupling. PSII(-PsbO) membranes do not reduce the acceptor 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol (DCIP), in contrast to PSII(-Ca) membranes. To understand why DCIP reduction is lost, we studied light effects on the Mn content of PSII(-PsbO) samples and found that when they are first illuminated, Mn cations are rapidly released from the Mn cluster. Addition of an electron acceptor to PSII(-PsbO) samples accelerates the process. No effect of light was found on the Mn cluster in PSII(-Ca) membranes. Our results demonstrate that: (a) the oxidant, which directly oxidizes an as yet undefined substrate in PSII(-Ca) membranes, is the Mn cluster (not the Y-Z radical or P680(+)); (b) light causes rapid release of Mn cations from the Mn cluster in PSII(-PsbO) membranes, and the mechanism is discussed; and (c) rapid degradation of the Mn cluster under illumination is significant for understanding the lack of functional activity in some PSII(-PsbO) samples reported by others.

AB Efficient chemical conversion of biomass is essential to produce sustainable energy and industrial chemicals. Industrial level conversion of glucose to useful chemicals, such as furfural, hydroxymethylfurfural, and levulinic acid, is a Major step in the biomass conversion but is difficult because of the formation of undesired products and side reactions. To understand the molecular level reaction mechanisms involved in the decomposition of glucose and fructose, we have carried out high-level quantum chemical calculations [Gaussian-4 (G4) theory]. Selective 1,2-dehydration, keto-enol tautomerization, isomerization, retro-aldol condensation, and hydride shifts of glucose and fructose molecules were investigated. Detailed kinetic and thermodynamic analyses indicate that, for acyclic glucose and fructose molecules, the dehydration and isomerization require larger activation barriers compared to the retro-aldol reaction at 298 K in neutral medium. The retro-aldol reaction results in the formation of C2 and C4 species from glucose and C3 species from fructose. The formation of the most stable C3 species, dihydroxyacetone from fructose, is thermodynamically downhill. The 1,3-hydride shift leads to the cleavage of the C-C bond in the acyclic species; however, the enthalpy of activation is significantly higher (50-55 kcal/mol) than that of the retro-aldol reaction (38 kcal/mol) mainly because of the sterically hindered distorted four-membered transition state compared to the hexa-membered transition state in the retro-aldol reaction. Both tautomerization and dehydration are catalyzed by a water molecule in aqueous medium; however, water has little effect on the retro-aldol reaction. Isomerization of glucose to fructose and glyceraldehyde to dihydroxyacetone proceeds through hydride shifts that require an activation enthalpy of about 40 kcal/mol at 298 K in water medium. This investigation maps out accurate energetics of the decomposition of glucose and fructose molecules that is needed to help find more efficient catalyts for the conversion of hexose to useful chemicals.

AB We investigate the growth of connectivity in a network. In our model, starting with a set of disjoint nodes, links are added sequentially. Each link connects two nodes, and the connection rate governing this random process is proportional to the degrees of the two nodes. Interestingly, this network exhibits two abrupt transitions, both occurring at finite times. The first is a percolation transition in which a giant component, containing a finite fraction of all nodes, is born. The second is a condensation transition in which the entire system condenses into a single, fully connected, component. We derive the size distribution of connected components as well as the degree distribution, which is purely exponential throughout the evolution. Furthermore, we present a criterion for the emergence of sudden condensation for general homogeneous connection rates. Copyright (C) EPLA, 2012

AB In this paper, we propose a scenario framework that could provide a scenario "thread" through the different climate research communities (climate change - vulnerability, impact, and adaptation - and mitigation) in order to support assessment of mitigation and adaptation strategies and climate impacts. The scenario framework is organized around a matrix with two main axes: radiative forcing levels and socio-economic conditions. The radiative forcing levels (and the associated climate signal) are described by the new Representative Concentration Pathways. The second axis, socio-economic developments comprises elements that affect the capacity for mitigation and adaptation, as well as the exposure to climate impacts. The proposed scenarios derived from this framework are limited in number, allow for comparison across various mitigation and adaptation levels, address a range of vulnerability characteristics, provide information across climate forcing and vulnerability states and span a full century time scale. Assessments based on the proposed scenario framework would strengthen cooperation between integrated-assessment modelers, climate modelers and vulnerability, impact and adaptation researchers, and most importantly, facilitate the development of more consistent and comparable research within and across these research communities.

AB We report on the development of harsh-environment surface acoustic wave sensors for wired and wireless operation. Surface acoustic wave devices with an interdigitated transducer emitter and multiple reflectors were fabricated on langasite substrates. Both wired and wireless temperature sensing was demonstrated using radar-mode (pulse) detection. Temperature resolution of better than +/- 0.5 degrees C was achieved between 200 degrees C and 600 degrees C. Oxygen sensing was achieved by depositing a layer of ZnO on the propagation path. Although the ZnO layer caused additional attenuation of the surface wave, oxygen sensing was accomplished at temperatures up to 700 degrees C. The results indicate that langasite SAW devices are a potential solution for harsh-environment gas and temperature sensing.

TI Secure Location Verification Using Simultaneous Multilateration
SO IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS
LA English
DT Article
DE Location verification; distance bounding; multilateration
AB Substantial effort has been invested on secure location verification in hope to enable mobile wireless systems to optimize system performance or securely confer rights based on the participants' locations. However, most previous studies do not address the impact of, and are often susceptible to, collusion attacks in which adversaries share their private keys.
In this paper, we propose a secure multilateration scheme. Given the same processing delay, detection threshold, and assuming zero synchronization error between verifiers, our proposed scheme achieves the highest rate of false-location detection by any verification system based solely on time-of-flight measurements.
We also show that our scheme is resilient to collusion attacks if the verification system can detect the distance enlargement attack. We propose using other physical measurements to mitigate the distance enlargement, and thus also the collusion, attacks. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt to prevent collusion attacks by mitigating the distance enlargement attack.

AB Two macro-scale models of high-energy condensed-phase explosives are considered. The first, called ignition and growth, treats the heterogeneous explosive as a homogeneous mixture of reacting and product species. The second model treats the explosive as two distinct, but interacting, phases. Both models are hyperbolic systems of non-linear partial differential equations involving balance laws of mass, momentum and energy and involving assumed constitutive input and reaction kinetics. The two-phase model also involves stiff relaxation terms and nozzling terms that prevent the equations from being cast in conservation form. A high-resolution shock-capturing scheme on overlapping grids, with parallel adaptive mesh refinement, is used to solve the governing equations accurately. The purpose of the paper was to compare solutions of the two models for macro-scale problems involving detonation initiation and diffraction. This is done to illustrate strengths and weaknesses of the models and to suggest modifications and extensions of the models for further study.

AB Syn-gas generation in the absence of oxygen by methane decomposition offers an interesting route to decrease reactor size and cost because methane is the only reactant in the gas phase. In this work, several catalysts were studied, Rh/CeO2, Pt/CeO2, Rh/(Ce0.91Gd0.09) O2-x, Pt/(Ce0.91Gd0.09)O2-x, Rh/gamma-Al2O3 and Pt/gamma-Al2O3 for methane reforming in the absence of gaseous oxygen. Rhodium showed a superior catalytic activity and selectivity with respect to Pt. This catalytic behavior may be due to the strong metal-support interaction, associated with the formation of mixed metal-oxide species at the interface. The addition of Gd3+ to ceria lowered the required temperatures for catalyst activation with respect to the un-doped material. Conversely to oxygen ion conducting materials, which showed a high selectivity for syn-gas generation, the non-oxygen conducting catalysts did not generated carbon monoxide. These results may be correlated to their oxygen storage capacity and ionic conductivity. Since gaseous oxygen was not delivered to the reactor, it is clear that the only source of oxygen was the catalyst. During the isothermal isotopic oxygen exchange experiments over Pt/(Ce0.91Gd0.09))O2-x and Pt/gamma-Al2O3, results illustrated that oxygen in the gas phase was exchanged with the oxygen from the catalyst. Three different molecules were detected O-16-O-18, O-16-O-16 and (OO)-O-18-O-18. A higher amount of oxygen was exchanged over Pt/(Ce0.91Gd0.09)O2-x with respect to Pt/gamma-Al2O3. It is proposed that mainly lattice and surface oxygen were exchanged over Pt/(Ce0.91Gd0.09)O2-x and Pt/gamma-Al2O3, respectively. It is also suggested that two types of reaction mechanisms take place, the simple and multiple hetero-exchange with the participation of one and two catalyst oxygen atoms, respectively. Similarly to methane reforming, lower temperatures were required for the oxygen exchange experiments over Rh than over Pt, as illustrated by results of the temperature-programmed exchange reactions. In summary, the properties of doped ceria may open new catalytic routes for oxidation reactions without gaseous oxygen because post-oxidation can restore its oxygen storage capacity.

AB This paper describes the design, fabrication and performance evaluation of a high efficiency, compact heater that uses the catalytic oxidation of hydrogen to provide heat to a hydrogen storage system. The heater was designed to transfer up to 30 kW of heat from the catalytic reaction to the hydrogen storage system via a recirculating heat transfer fluid.
The catalytic heater consists of three main parts: 1) the reactor, 2) the gas heat recuperator, and 3) oil and gas flow distribution manifolds. The reactor and recuperator are integrated, compact, finned-plate heat exchangers to maximize heat transfer efficiency and minimize mass and volume. Detailed, three-dimensional, multi-physics computational models were used to design and optimize the system.
At full power the heater was able to catalytically combust a 10% hydrogen/air mixture flowing at over 80 cubic feet per minute and transfer 30 kW of heat to a 30 gallon per minute flow of oil over a temperature range from 100 degrees C to 220 degrees C. The total efficiency of the catalytic heater, defined as the heat transferred to the oil divided by the inlet hydrogen chemical energy, was determined to exceed the design goal of 80% for oil temperatures from 60 degrees C to 165 degrees C.

AB Alteration of the thermodynamic stability of selected borohydride/alanate systems, including the combination of LiBH4 with NaAlH4 and LiBH4 with CaCl2 and LiAlH4, was investigated to determine the possibility of forming intermediate stability mixed AlH4--BH4- phase.
Facile metathesis exchange reactions were observed when NaAlH4 was combined with LiBH4 resulting in the formation of LiAlH4 and NaBH4. Thermal analysis of this system showed that the 1st and 2nd decomposition of LiAlH4 occurred irrespective of NaBH4 illustrating the absence molecular level interaction between the AlH4- and the BH4- anions. On the other hand, in the case of CaCl2, LiAlH4, LiBH4 combination, the results showed the formation of a calcium alanate type phase. Evaluation of the thermal property of this system showed an endothermic one step decomposition between 130 degrees C and 200 degrees C (2.3 wt % loss). Structural examination of this calcium alanate type phase revealed a different local coordination geometry of AlH4- from that observed in calcium alanate. The formation and properties of this phase are being attributed to molecular level AlH4--BH4- interactions. These findings provide a pathway toward designing novel alanates-borohydrides systems for hydrogen storage applications. This article will show the methodologies followed and explain the results obtained. Copyright (C) 2011, Hydrogen Energy Publications, LLC. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB The effects of different transition metal halides (TiCl3, VCl3, ScCl3 and NiCl2) on the sorption properties of the 1:1 molar ratio of LiNH2 to MgH2 are investigated. The modified mixtures were found to contain LiNH2, MgH2 and LiCl. TGA results showed that the hydrogen desorption temperature was reduced with the modifier addition in this order: TiCl3 > ScCl3 > VCl3 > NiCl2. Ammonia release was not significantly reduced resulting in a weight loss greater than the theoretical hydrogen storage capacity of the material. The isothermal sorption kinetics of the modified systems showed little improvement after the first dehydrogenation cycle over the unmodified system but showed drastic improvement in rehydrogenation cycles. X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy identified the cycled material to be composed of LiH, MgH2, Mg(NH2)(2) and Mg3N2. Copyright (C) 2011, Hydrogen Energy Publications, LLC.

AB Research on ammonia borane (AB, NH3BH3) has shown it to be a promising material for chemical hydride based hydrogen storage. AB was selected by DOE's Hydrogen Storage Engineering Center of Excellence (HSECoE) as the initial chemical hydride of study because of its high hydrogen storage capacity (up to similar to 16% by weight for the release of similar to 2.5 M equivalents of hydrogen gas) and its stability under typical ambient conditions. Another promising candidate is alane, AlH3 (10.1% by weight). Materials operating requirements to use chemical hydrides for vehicle onboard storage are discussed. A flow-through system concept based on augers, ballast tank, hydrogen heat exchanger and H-2 burner was designed and implemented in simulation. In this design, the chemical hydride material was assumed to produce H-2 in the auger itself, thus minimizing the size of ballast tank and reactor. One dimensional models based on conservation of mass, species and energy were used to predict important state variables such as reactant and product concentrations, temperatures of various components, flow rates, along with pressure, in various components of the storage system. Various subsystem components in the models were coded as 'C' language S-functions and implemented in Matlab/Simulink. Steady state simulation results for all the three candidate materials (solid AB, liquid AB and alane) were presented to show the proof of concept, whereas the drive cycle simulations were discussed only for solid AB using the fuel cell H-2 demand for four different US drive cycles. Conditional logic based controllers that control the material flow rate into the reactor and to control the H-2 fed to the burner were developed and implemented in drive cycle simulations. Simulation results show that the proposed system meets most of the 2010 DOE targets, and is well above the required > 40% of the DOE targets for fill time, well-to-powerplant efficiency, and volumetric and gravimetric density.

AB The design and evaluation of media-based hydrogen storage systems requires the use of detailed numerical models and experimental studies, with significant amount of time and monetary investment. Thus a scoping tool, referred to as the Acceptability Envelope, was developed to screen preliminary candidate media and storage vessel designs, identifying the range of chemical, physical and geometrical parameters for the coupled media and storage vessel system that allow it to meet performance targets. The model which underpins the analysis allows simplifying the storage system, thus resulting in one input-one output scheme, by grouping of selected quantities.
Two cases have been analyzed and results are presented here. In the first application the DOE technical targets (Year 2010, Year 2015 and Ultimate) are used to determine the range of parameters required for the metal hydride media and storage vessel. In the second case the most promising metal hydrides available are compared, highlighting the potential of storage systems, utilizing them, to achieve 40% of the 2010 DOE technical target. Results show that systems based on Li-Mg media have the best potential to attain these performance targets. Copyright (C) 2011, Hydrogen Energy Publications, LLC. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

AB Sandia and General Motors have successfully designed, fabricated, and experimentally operated a vehicle-scale hydrogen storage demonstration system using sodium alanates. The demonstration system module design and the system control strategies were enabled by experiment-based, computational simulations that included heat and mass transfer coupled with chemical kinetics. Module heat exchange systems were optimized using multi-dimensional models of coupled fluid dynamics and heat transfer. Chemical kinetics models were coupled with both heat and mass transfer calculations to design the sodium alanate vessels. Fluid flow distribution was a key aspect of the design for the hydrogen storage modules and computational simulations were used to balance heat transfer with fluid pressure requirements.
An overview of the hydrogen storage system will be given, and examples of these models and simulation results will be described and related to component design. In addition, comparisons of demonstration system experimental results to model predictions will be reported. Copyright (C) 2011, Hydrogen Energy Publications, LLC. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

AB Two detailed, unit cell models, a transverse fin design and a longitudinal fin design, of a combined hydride bed and heat exchanger are developed in COMSOL (R) Multiphysics incorporating and accounting for heat transfer and reaction kinetic limitations. MatLab (R) scripts for autonomous model generation are developed and incorporated into (1) a grid-based and (2) a systematic optimization routine based on the Nelder-Mead downhill simplex method to determine the geometrical parameters that lead to the optimal structure for each fin design that maximizes the hydrogen stored within the hydride.
The optimal designs for both the transverse and longitudinal fin designs point toward closely-spaced, small cooling fluid tubes. Under the hydrogen feed conditions studied (50 bar), a 25 times improvement or better in the hydrogen storage kinetics will be required to simultaneously meet the Department of Energy technical targets for gravimetric capacity and fill time. These models and methodology can be rapidly applied to other hydrogen storage materials, such as other metal hydrides or to cryoadsorbents, in future work.

storage; Calorimetry
AB In order to enable the commercial acceptance of solid-state hydrogen storage materials and systems it is important to understand the risks associated with the environmental exposure of various materials. In some instances, these materials are sensitive to the environment surrounding the material and the behavior is unique and independent to each material. The development of testing procedures to evaluate a material's behavior with different environmental exposures is a critical need. In some cases material modifications may be needed in order to reduce the risk of environmental exposure. We have redesigned two standardized UN tests for clarity and exactness; the burn rate and self-heating tests. The results of these and other UN tests are shown for ammonia borane, NH3BH3, and alane, AlH3. The burn rate test showed a strong dependence on the preparation method of aluminum hydride as the particle size and trace amounts of solvent greatly influence the test results. The self-heating test for ammonia borane showed a failed test as low as 70 degrees C in a modified cylindrical form. Finally, gas phase calorimetry was performed and resulted in an exothermic behavior within an air and 30%RH environment. Copyright (C) 2011, Hydrogen Energy Publications, LLC.

AB Leading physical and materials-based hydrogen storage options are evaluated for their potential to meet the vehicular targets for gravimetric and volumetric capacity, cost, efficiency, durability and operability, fuel purity, and environmental health and safety. Our analyses show that hydrogen stored as a compressed gas at 350-700 bar in Type III or Type IV tanks cannot meet the near-term volumetric target of 28 g/L. The problems of dormancy and hydrogen loss with conventional liquid H-2 storage can be mitigated by deploying pressure-bearing insulated tanks. Alane (AlH3) is an attractive hydrogen carrier if it can be prepared and used as a slurry with >50% solids loading and an appropriate volume-exchange tank is developed. Regenerating AlH3 is a major problem, however, since it is metastable and it cannot be directly formed by reacting the spent Al with H-2. We have evaluated two sorption-based hydrogen storage systems, one using AX-21, a high surface-area superactivated carbon, and the other using MOF-177, a metal-organic framework material. Releasing hydrogen by hydrolysis of sodium borohydride presents difficult chemical, thermal and water management issues, and regenerating NaBH4 by converting B-O bonds is energy intensive. We have evaluated the option of using organic liquid carriers, such as n-ethylcarbazole, which can be dehydrogenated thermolytically on-board a vehicle and rehydrogenated efficiently in a central plant by established methods and processes. While ammonia borane has a high hydrogen content, a solvent that keeps it in a liquid state needs to be found, and developing an AB regeneration scheme that is practical, economical and efficient remains a major challenge.

TI Processing of Advanced Cast Alloys for A-USC Steam Turbine Applications
SO JOM

DT Article
AB The high-temperature components within conventional supercritical coal-fired power plants are manufactured from ferritic/martensitic steels. To reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, the efficiency of pulverized coal steam power plants must be increased to as high a temperature and pressure as feasible. The proposed steam temperature in the DOE/NETL Advanced Ultra Supercritical power plant is high enough (760A degrees C) that ferritic/martensitic steels will not work for the majority of high-temperature components in the turbine or for pipes and tubes in the boiler due to temperature limitations of this class of materials. Thus, Ni-based superalloys are being considered for many of these components. Off-the-shelf forged nickel alloys have shown good promise at these temperatures, but further improvements can be made through experimentation within the nominal chemistry range as well as through thermomechanical processing and subsequent heat treatment. However, cast nickel-based superalloys, which possess high strength, creep resistance, and weldability, are typically not available, particularly those with good ductility and toughness that are weldable in thick sections. To address those issues related to thick casting for turbine casings, for example, cast analogs of selected wrought nickel-based superalloys such as alloy 263, Haynes 282, and Nimonic 105 have been produced. Alloy design criteria, melt processing experiences, and heat treatment are discussed with respect to the as-processed and heat-treated microstructures and selected mechanical properties. The discussion concludes with the prospects for full-scale development of a thick section casting for a steam turbine valve chest or rotor casing.

AB Understanding soil fungal distribution and activities, particularly at the level of gene expression, is important in unveiling mechanisms regulating their activities in situ. Recent identification of fungal genes involved in carbon cycling has provided the foundation for developing reverse-transcriptase PCR assays to monitor spatiotemporal gene expression patterns in soils and other complex microbial systems. The polyadenylated 3' ends of eukaryotic mRNA transcripts enables the use of oligo(dT) primers for cDNA synthesis, but this can result in the overrepresentation of the 3' end of transcripts in cDNA pools. In an effort to increase the uniformity of transcripts represented in cDNA pools, random hexamers have been used. The use of both priming methods is abundant in the literature, but we do not know how these methods perform relative to each other. We performed comparative richness and compositional analyses of the fungal glycosyl hydrolase family 7 cellobiohydrolase I gene cbhl amplified from soil cDNAs that had been generated using either oligo(dT) primers or random hexamers. Our results demonstrate that similar chill richness and composition were recovered using both approaches. Richness estimates and compositional profiles of cbhl sequence libraries generated from random hexamer-primed cDNA were more variable than from libraries generated from oligo(dT) primed cDNA. However, our overall results indicate that, on average, comparable richness and composition were recovered from soil cDNAs when either priming method was used. Published by Elsevier B.V.

AB Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) commonly uses the fluorogenic 5' nuclease (TaqMan) and SYBR Green 1 (SG) detection chemistries to enumerate biomarker genes. Dehalococcoides (Dhc) are keystone bacteria for the detoxification of chlorinated ethenes, and the Dhc 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene serves as a biomarker for monitoring reductive dechlorination in contaminated aquifers. qPCR enumeration of Dhc biomarker genes using the TaqMan or SG approach with the same primer set yielded linear calibration curves over a seven orders of magnitude range with similar amplification efficiencies. The TaqMan assay discriminates specific from nonspecific amplification observed at low template concentrations with the SG assay, and had a 10-fold lower limit of detection of similar to 3 copies per assay. When applied to Dhc pure cultures and Dhc-containing consortia, both detection methods enumerated Dhc biomarker genes with differences not exceeding 3-fold. Greater variability was observed with groundwater samples, and the SG chemistry produced false-positive results or yielded up to 6-fold higher biomarker gene abundances compared to the TaqMan method. In most cases, the apparent error associated with SG detection resulted from quantification of nonspecific amplification products and was more pronounced with groundwater samples that had low biomarker concentrations or contained PCR inhibitors. Correction of the apparent error using post-amplification melting curve analysis produced 2 to 21-fold lower abundance estimates; however, gel electrophoretic analysis of amplicons demonstrated that melting curve analysis was insufficient to recognize all nonspecific amplification. Upon exclusion of nonspecific amplification products identified by combined melting curve and electrophoretic amplicon analyses, the SG method produced false-negative results compared to the TaqMan method. To achieve sensitive and accurate quantification of Dhc biomarker genes in environmental samples (e.g., groundwater) and avoid erroneous conclusions, the analysis should rely on TaqMan detection chemistry, unless additional analyses validate the results obtained with the SG approach.

AB Sodium- and aluminum-rich high-level nuclear waste glasses are prone to nepheline (NaAlSiO4) crystallization. Since nepheline removes three moles of glass-forming oxides (Al2O3 and SiO2) per mole of Na2O, the formation of this phase can result in severe deterioration of the chemical durability in a given glass. The present study aims to investigate the relationships between the molecular-level structure and the crystallization behavior of sodium alumino-borosilicate-based simulated high-level nuclear waste glasses with infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction, respectively. The molecular structure of most of the investigated glasses comprise a mixture of Q(2) and Q(3) (Si) units while aluminum and boron are predominantly present in tetrahedral and trigonal coordination, respectively. The increasing boron content has been shown to suppress the nepheline formation in the glasses. The structural influence of various glass components on nepheline crystallization is discussed.

AB This paper reports Charpy impact test data for the ACO-3 duct material (HT9) from the Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF) and its archive material. Irradiation doses for the specimens were in the range of 3148 dpa and irradiation temperatures in the range of 378-504 degrees C. The impact tests were performed for the small V-notched Charpy specimens with dimensions of 3 x 4 x 27 mm at an impact speed of 3.2 m/s in a 25J capacity machine. Irradiation lowered the upper-shelf energy (USE) and increased the transition temperatures significantly. The shift of ductile-brittle transition temperatures (Delta DBTT) was greater after relatively low temperature irradiation. The USE values were in the range of 5.5-6.7 J before irradiation and decreased to the range of 2-5 J after irradiation. Lower USEs were measured for lower irradiation temperatures and specimens with T-L orientation. The dose dependences of transition temperature and USE were not significant because of the radiation effect on impact behavior nearly saturated at the lowest dose of about 3 dpa. A comparison showed that the lateral expansion of specimens showed a linear correlation with absorbed impact energy, but with large scatter in the results. Size effect was also discussed to clarify the differences in the impact property data from subsize and standard specimens as well as to provide a basis for comparison of data from different specimens. The USE and Delta DBTT data from different studies were compared. Published by Elsevier B.V.

AB Fast reactors and spallation neutron sources may use lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) as a coolant. Its physical, chemical, and irradiation properties make it a safe coolant compared to Na cooled designs. However, LBE is a corrosive medium for most steels and container materials. The present study was performed to evaluate the corrosion behavior of the austenitic steel 316L (in two different delivery states). Detailed atomic force microscopy, magnetic force microscopy, conductive atomic force microscopy, and scanning transmission electron microscopy analyses have been performed on the oxide layers to get a better understanding of the corrosion and oxidation mechanisms of austenitic and ferritic/martensitic stainless steel exposed to LBE. The oxide scale formed on the annealed 316L material consisted of multiple layers with different compositions, structures, and properties. The innermost oxide layer maintained the grain structure of what used to be the bulk steel material and shows two phases, while the outermost oxide layer possessed a columnar grain structure.

AB An emergency response plan for industrial permit-required confined space entry is essential for employee safety and is legally required. Maintaining a trained confined space rescue team, however; is costly and technically challenging. Some employers turn to public fire departments to meet their emergency response requirements. The confined space emergency response practices of employers and fire departments have not been previously assessed. We present ( I) federal data on the U.S. occurrence between 1992 and 2005 of confined space fatal incidents involving toxic and/or oxygen-deficient atmospheres; (2) survey data from 21 large companies on permit-required confined space emergency response practices; (3) data on fire department arrival times; and (4) estimates by 10 senior fire officers of fire department rescue times for confined space incidents. Between 1992 and 2005, 431 confined space incidents that met the case definition claimed 530 lives, or about 0.63% of the 84,446 all-cause U.S. occupational fatal injuries that occurred during this period. Eighty-seven (20%) incidents resulted in multiple fatalities. Twelve (57%) of 21 surveyed companies reported that they relied on the fire department for permit-required confined space emergency response. Median fire department arrival times were about 5 min for engines and 7 min for technical rescue units. Fire department confined space rescue time estimates ranged from 48 to 123 min and increased to 70 and 173 min when hazardous materials were present. The study illustrates that (1) confined space incidents represent a small but continuing source of fatal occupational injuries in the United States; (2) a sizeable portion of employers may be relying on public fire departments for permit-required confined space emergency response; and (3) in the event of a life-threatening emergency, fire departments usually are not able to effect a confined space rescue in a timely manner: We propose that the appropriate role for the fire department is to support a properly trained and equipped on-site rescue team and to provide advanced life support intervention following extrication and during ambulance transportation.

AB Understanding the dynamic nature of protein abundances provides insights into protein turnover not readily apparent from conventional, static mass spectrometry measurements. This level of data is particularly informative when surveying protein abundances in biological systems subjected to large perturbations or alterations in environment such as cyanobacteria. Our current analysis expands upon conventional proteomic approaches in cyanobacteria by measuring dynamic changes of the proteome using a (CN)-C-13-N-15-L-leucine metabolic labeling in Cyanothece ATCC51142. Metabolically labeled Cyanothece ATCC51142 cells grown under nitrogen-sufficient conditions in continuous light were monitored longitudinally for isotope incorporation over a 48 h period, revealing 414 proteins with dynamic changes in abundances. In particular, proteins involved in carbon fixation, pentose phosphate pathway, cellular protection, redox regulation, protein folding, assembly, and degradation showed higher levels of isotope incorporation, suggesting that these biochemical pathways are important for growth under continuous light. Calculation of relative isotope abundances (RIA) values allowed the measurement of actual active protein synthesis over time for different biochemical pathways under high light exposure. Overall results demonstrated the utility of "non-steady state" pulsed metabolic labeling for systems-wide dynamic quantification of the proteome in Cyanothece ATCC51142 that can also be applied to other cyanobacteria.

AB MS dissociation methods, including collision induced dissociation (CID), high energy collision dissociation (HCD), and electron transfer dissociation (ETD), can each contribute distinct peptidome identifications using conventional peptide identification methods (Shen et al. J. Proteome Res. 2011), but such samples still pose significant informatics challenges. In this work, we explored utilization of high accuracy fragment ion mass measurements, in this case provided by Fourier transform MS/MS, to improve peptidome peptide data set size and consistency relative to conventional descriptive and probabilistic scoring methods. For example, we identified 20-40% more peptides than SEQUEST, Mascot, and MS_GF scoring methods using high accuracy fragment ion information and the same false discovery rate (FDR) from CID, HCD, and ETD spectra. Identified species covered >90% of the collective identifications obtained using various conventional peptide identification methods, which significantly addresses the common issue of different data analysis methods generating different peptide data sets. Choice of peptide dissociation and high-precision measurement-based identification methods presently available for degradomic-peptidomic analyses needs to be based on the coverage and confidence (or specificity) afforded by the method, as well as practical issues (e.g., throughput). By using accurate fragment information, >1000 peptidome components can be identified from a single human blood plasma analysis with low peptide-level FDRs (e.g., 0.6%), providing an improved basis for investigating potential disease-related peptidome components.

AB The Gram-positive bacterium Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis (Cmm) causes wilt and canker disease of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). Mechanisms of Cmm pathogenicity and tomato response to Cmm infection are not well understood. To explore the interaction between Cmm and tomato, multidimensional protein identification technology (MudPIT) and tandem mass spectrometry were used to analyze in vitro and in planta generated samples. The results show that during infection Cmm senses the plant environment, transmits signals, induces, and then secretes multiple hydrolytic enzymes, including serine proteases of the Pat-1, Ppa, and Sbt familes, the CelA, XysA, and NagA glycosyl hydrolases, and other cell wall-degrading enzymes. Tomato induction of pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins, LOX1, and other defense-related proteins during infection indicates that the plant senses the invading bacterium and mounts a basal defense response, although partial with some suppressed components including class III peroxidases and a secreted serine peptidase. The tomato ethylene-synthesizing enzyme ACC-oxidase was induced during infection with the wild-type Cmm but not during infection with an endophytic Cmm strain, identifying Cmm-triggered host synthesis of ethylene as an important factor in disease symptom development. The proteomic data were also used to improve Cmm genome annotation, and thousands of Cmm gene models were confirmed or expanded.

AB Many key proteins, such as those involved in cellular signaling or transcription, are difficult to measure in microbial proteomic experiments due to the interfering presence of more abundant, dominant proteins. In an effort to enhance the identification of previously undetected proteins, as well as provide a methodology for selective enrichment, we evaluated and optimized immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) coupled with mass spectrometric characterization of extracellular proteins from an extremophilic microbial community. Seven different metals were tested for IMAC enrichment. The combined results added similar to 20% greater proteomic depth to the extracellular proteome. Although this IMAC enrichment could not be conducted at the physiological pH of the environmental system, this approach did yield a reproducible and specific enrichment of groups of proteins with functions potentially vital to the community, thereby providing a more extensive biochemical characterization. Notably, 40 unknown proteins previously annotated as "hypothetical" were enriched and identified for the first time. Examples of identified proteins includes a predicted TonB signal sensing protein homologous to other known TonB proteins and a protein with a COXG domain previously identified in many chemolithoautotrophic microbes as having a function in the oxidation of CO.

AB Policies supporting the rapid and open sharing of proteomic data are being implemented by the leading journals in the field. The proteomics community is taking steps to ensure that data are made publicly accessible and are of high quality, a challenging task that requires the development and deployment of methods for measuring and documenting data quality metrics. On September 18, 2010, the U.S. National Cancer Institute (NCI) convened the "International Workshop on Proteomic Data Quality Metrics" in Sydney, Australia, to identify and address issues facing the development and use of such methods for open access proteomics data. The stakeholders at the workshop enumerated the key principles underlying a framework for data quality assessment in mass spectrometry data that will meet the needs of the research community, journals, funding agencies, and data repositories. Attendees discussed and agreed up on two primary needs for the wide use of quality metrics: (1) an evolving list of comprehensive quality metrics and (2) standards accompanied by software analytics. Attendees stressed the importance of increased education and training programs to promote reliable protocols in proteomics. This workshop report explores the historic precedents, key discussions, and necessary next steps to enhance the quality of open access data. By agreement, this article is published simultaneously in the Journal of Proteome Research, Molecular and Cellular Proteomics, Proteomics, and Proteomics Clinical Applications as a public service to the research community. The peer review process was a coordinated effort conducted by a panel of referees selected by the journals.

AB Magnetron sputtered thin films of Cu, Nb, and Cu-Nb multilayers with 2.5 and 5 nm nominal layer thickness were deposited on Si and implanted with He-4(+) and He-3(+) ions. Secondary ion mass spectroscopy and nuclear reaction analysis, respectively, were used to measure the He-4(+) and He-3(+) concentration profile with depth inside the films. Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy was used to characterize the helium bubbles. Analysis of the contrast from helium bubbles in defocused transmission electron microscope images showed a minimum bubble diameter of 1.25 nm. While pure Cu and Nb films showed bubble contrast over the entire range of helium implantation, the multilayers exhibited bubbles only above a critical He concentration that increased almost linearly with decreasing layer thickness. The work shows that large amounts of helium can be trapped at incoherent interfaces in the form of stable, nanometer-size bubbles.

For the high temperature gas-cooled reactor, the potential dust generation from frictional contact at the surface of pebbles and the subsequent lift-off and transport of dust and absorbed fission products are of safety concern at elevated temperatures under an air ingress accident. The aim of this work is to perform a computational study to estimate the quantity of the nuclear grade graphite dust produces from a typical anticipated configuration. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.

ID CORE CATCHER; WATER; COOLABILITY; INJECTION; RETENTION
AB The coolability of ex-vessel core debris continues to be an issue of concern in the realm of light water reactor safety. Extensive research into corium/concrete interaction phenomena has been unable to establish the certainty of melt quench and stabilization within the containment boundary for all credible cases of cooling restricted to top flooding. As a result, there has been continuing interest in engineered systems that can augment cooling. This paper describes the testing of two passive cooling concepts that inject water into corium from below via nozzles embedded within the basemat: one with porous concrete nozzles and the other with a type of composite nozzle. The latter supplements water injection with noncondensable gas to stabilize flow and suppress vapor explosions. Each test involved a 136 kg melt composed of 56/23/14 wt% UO2/ZrO2/siliceous concrete at an initial depth of 30 cm. The setup with the porous concrete nozzles successfully injected water into the melt at heads as low as 2.3 m. The composite nozzle test was partially successful, with three nozzles delivering coolant while a fourth was damaged by the melt and failed to inject water. The melts cooled twice as fast as similar ones tested in a top flooding configuration. These experiments confirmed earlier work at Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe and elsewhere indicating that cooling via bottom water injection is a particularly effective method for quenching ex-vessel corium melts.

AB The Phebus Fission Product (FP) Program studies key phenomena of severe accidents in water-cooled nuclear reactors. In the framework of the Phebus program, five in-pile experiments have been performed that cover fuel rod degradation and behaviour of fission products released via the coolant circuit into the containment vessel.
The focus of this paper is on iodine behaviour during the Phebus FPT2 test. FPT2 used a 33 GWd/t uranium dioxide fuel enriched to 4.5%, re-irradiated in situ for 7 days to a burn-up of 130 MWd/t. This test was performed to study the impact of steam-poor conditions and boric acid on the fission product chemistry. For the containment vessel, more specifically, the objective was to study iodine chemistry in an alkaline sump under evaporating conditions.
The iodine results of the Phebus FPT2 test confirmed many of the essential features of iodine behaviour in the containment vessel provided by the first two Phebus tests, FPTO and FPT1. These are the existence of an early gaseous iodine fraction, the persistence of low gaseous iodine concentrations and the importance of the sump in suppressing the iodine partitioning from sump to atmosphere. The main new insights provided by the Phebus FPT2 test were the iodine desorption from stainless steel walls deposits and the role of the evaporating sump in further iodine depletion in the containment atmosphere.
The current paper presents an interpretation of the iodine behaviour in the FPT2 containment vessel based on dedicated small-scale analytical experiments and computer codes calculations. Other investigations dealing with primary circuit and sump chemistry are also reported. These could help to scale the results of Phebus-FP tests to reactor accidents.
Modelling studies were generally successful when a gaseous iodine injection from the primary circuit was assumed. Indeed, though each of the iodine codes has specific iodine chemistry features that should be further developed and each approach to the modelling is distinct, the overall iodine behaviour in the FPT2 containment is generally well reproduced by the models that predict:
a low final gaseous iodine concentration in the containment atmosphere,
a predominant iodine concentration in the sump and to a lesser extent a significant iodine deposition on containment surfaces.
The main code-to-code differences, in the results obtained in gaseous iodine speciation, come from the various treatments of gaseous radiolytic reactions. Calculations that include the radiolytic conversion of volatile iodine into iodine oxide particulate show there is a persistence of both gaseous iodine and iodine oxide particles in the atmosphere. There are also some variations between the predicted organic iodine concentrations that depend mainly on the initial assumptions. A key aspect of the Phebus FPT2 test interpretation is that the long term iodine behaviour in the containment can be explained by exchanges between organic iodide released from painted surfaces and inorganic iodine released from deposited aerosol on the containment walls. Further studies of regulatory significance on sump chemistry showed that the gaseous iodine control that was evident in the Phebus tests through silver release and/or alkaline buffered sump solutions may not be assured.
As most of the past iodine aqueous chemistry studies were done with rather pure systems and because of the uncompleted understanding of the gaseous iodine speciation, the results may not be extrapolated easily to conditions of reactor accidents thus necessitating deeper investigations.

AB Benchmarking full-wave solvers for ion-cyclotron range of frequency (ICRF) simulations is performed using plasma profiles and equilibria obtained from integrated self-consistent modelling predictions of four ITER plasmas. One is for a high-performance baseline (5.3 T, 15 MA) DT H-mode. The others are for half-field, half-current plasmas of interest for the pre-activation phase with bulk plasma ion species being either hydrogen or He-4. The predicted profiles are used by six full-wave solver groups to simulate the ICRF electromagnetic fields and heating, and by three of these groups to simulate the current drive. Approximate agreement is achieved by four of the solvers for the heating power partitions for the DT and He-4 cases. Factor of two or more disagreements are found for the heating power partitions for the cases with second harmonic He-3 heating in bulk H cases. Approximate agreement is achieved simulating the ICRF current-drive 1D profiles.

AB It was found that error field threshold decreases for high beta in NSTX, although the density correlation in conventional threshold scaling implies the threshold would increase since higher beta plasmas in our study have higher plasma density. This greater sensitivity to error field in higher beta plasmas is due to error field amplification by plasmas. When the effect of amplification is included with ideal plasma response calculations, the conventional density correlation can be restored and threshold scaling becomes more consistent with low beta plasmas. However, it was also found that the threshold can be significantly changed depending on plasma rotation. When plasma rotation was reduced by non-resonant magnetic braking, the further increase in sensitivity to error field was observed.

AB The first systematic investigation of core electron thermal transport and the role of local ion temperature gradient/trapped electron mode/electron temperature gradient (ITG/TEM/ETG)-scale core turbulence is performed in high temperature, low collisionality H-mode plasmas in the DIII-D tokamak. Wavenumber spectra of L-mode and H-mode density turbulence are measured by Doppler backscattering. H-mode wavenumber spectra are directly contrasted for the first time with nonlinear gyrokinetic simulation results. Core ITG/TEM-scale turbulence is substantially reduced/suppressed by E x B shear promptly after the L-H transition, resulting in reduced electron thermal transport across the entire minor radius. For small k(theta)rho(s), both experiment and nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations using the GYRO code show density fluctuation levels increasing with k(theta)rho(s) in H-mode (r/a = 0.6), in contrast to ITG/TEM-dominated L-mode plasmas. GYRO simulations also indicate that a significant portion of the remaining H-mode electron heat flux results directly from residual intermediate/short-scale TEM/ETG turbulence. Electron transport at substantially increased electron-to-ion temperature ratio (T-e/T-i >= 1, r/a <= 0.35) has been investigated in ECH-assisted, quiescent H-mode plasmas. A synergistic increase in core electron and ion thermal diffusivity (normalized to the gyro-Bohm diffusivity) is found with applied ECH. From linear stability analysis, the TEM mode is expected to become the dominant linear instability with ECH due to increased electron-to-ion temperature ratio and a reduction in the ion temperature gradient. This is consistent with increased electron temperature fluctuations and core electron thermal diffusivity observed experimentally. The reduced ion temperature gradient likely results from a reduction in the ITG critical gradient due to increased Te/Ti and reduced E x B shear. These studies are performed at collisonality (nu*(e) similar to 0.05, r/a <= 0.6) and address transport in electron heat-dominated regimes, thought to be important in ITER due to a-particle heating.

TI On the Use of Gene Ontology Annotations to Assess Functional Similarity
among Orthologs and Paralogs: A Short Report
SO PLOS COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY

DT Article
ID RESOURCE; DATABASE; MOUSE
AB A recent paper (Nehrt et al., PLoS Comput. Biol. 7:e1002073, 2011) has proposed a metric for the "functional similarity'' between two genes that uses only the Gene Ontology (GO) annotations directly derived from published experimental results. Applying this metric, the authors concluded that paralogous genes within the mouse genome or the human genome are more functionally similar on average than orthologous genes between these genomes, an unexpected result with broad implications if true. We suggest, based on both theoretical and empirical considerations, that this proposed metric should not be interpreted as a functional similarity, and therefore cannot be used to support any conclusions about the "ortholog conjecture'' (or, more properly, the "ortholog functional conservation hypothesis''). First, we reexamine the case studies presented by Nehrt et al. as examples of orthologs with divergent functions, and come to a very different conclusion: they actually exemplify how GO annotations for orthologous genes provide complementary information about conserved biological functions. We then show that there is a global ascertainment bias in the experiment-based GO annotations for human and mouse genes: particular types of experiments tend to be performed in different model organisms. We conclude that the reported statistical differences in annotations between pairs of orthologous genes do not reflect differences in biological function, but rather complementarity in experimental approaches. Our results underscore two general considerations for researchers proposing novel types of analysis based on the GO: 1) that GO annotations are often incomplete, potentially in a biased manner, and subject to an "open world assumption'' (absence of an annotation does not imply absence of a function), and 2) that conclusions drawn from a novel, large-scale GO analysis should whenever possible be supported by careful, in-depth examination of examples, to help ensure the conclusions have a justifiable biological basis.

AB Mechanisms by which dissolved organic matter (DOM) mediates the photochemical reduction of Hg(II) in aquatic ecosystems are not fully understood, owing to the heterogeneous nature and complex structural properties of DOM. In this work, naturally occurring aromatic compounds including salicylic, 4-hydrobenzoic, anthranilic, 4-aminobenzoic, and phthalic acid were systematically studied as surrogates for DOM in order to gain an improved mechanistic understanding of these compounds in the photoreduction of Hg(II) in water. We show that the photoreduction rates of Hg(II) are influenced not only by the substituent functional groups such as -OH, -NH2 and -COOH on the benzene ring, but also the positioning of these functional groups on the ring structure. The Hg(II) photoreduction rate decreases in the order anthranilic acid> salicylic acid> phthalic acid according to the presence of the -NH2, -OH, -COOH functional groups on benzoic acid. The substitution position of the functional groups affects reduction rates in the order anthranilic acid >4-aminobenzoic acid and salicylic acid >4-hydroxybenzoic acid. Reduction rates correlate strongly with ultraviolet (UV) absorption of these compounds and their concentrations, suggesting that the formation of organic free radicals during photolysis of these compounds is responsible for Hg(II) photoreduction. These results provide insight into the role of low-molecular-weight organic compounds and possibly DOM in Hg photoredox transformation and may thus have important implications for understanding Hg geochemical cycling in the environment.

AB We report a near-field imaging study of colloidal gold nanocubes. This is accomplished through a photochemical imaging method in which molecular displacements are vectorial in nature, enabling sensitivity to the polarization of the optical near-field of the nanocubes. We analyze the confinement of both electromagnetic hot and "cold" spots with a resolution of lambda/35 and emphasize the particularly high spatial confinement of cold spots. The concept of a cold spot complements the well-known electromagnetic hot spot but can have significant advantages. The application of the ultraconfined cold spots to high resolution Imaging and spectroscopy is discussed.

AB Lithiation of individual silicon nanopartides was studied in real time with in situ transmission electron microscopy. A strong size dependence of fracture was discovered; that Is, there exists a critical particle diameter of similar to 150 nm, below which the particles neither cracked nor fractured upon first lithiation, and above which the particles initially formed surface cracks and then fractured due to lithiation-induced swelling. The unexpected surface cracking arose owing to the buildup of large tensile hoop stress, which reversed the initial compression, in the surface layer. The stress reversal was attributed to the unique mechanism of lithiation in crystalline Si, taking place by movement of a two-phase boundary between the inner core of pristine Si and the outer shell of amorphous Li-Si alloy. While the resulting hoop tension tended to initiate surface cracks, the small-sized nanoparticles nevertheless averted fracture. This is because the stored strain energy from electrochemical reactions was insufficient to drive crack propagation, as dictated by the interplay between the two length scales, that is, particle diameter and crack size, that control the fracture. These results are diametrically opposite to those obtained previously from single-phase modeling, which predicted only compressive hoop stress In the surface layer and thus crack initiation from the center in lithiated Si particles and wires. Our work provides direct evidence of the mechanical robustness of small Si nanoparticles for applications in lithium ion batteries.

Depending upon surface chemistry, micelle adsorption creates either monolayer or bilayer films. Lateral diffusion measurements reveal that strong coupling between hydrophilic surfaces and PEO blocks creates immobile bilayers, while monolayers retain the fluidity previously observed in vesicular assemblies.

AB The main objective of this work is to study charge transport in mixtures of poly(3-hexylthiophene)-b-poly(ethylene oxide) (P3HT-PEO) block copolymers and lithium bis-(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide salt (LiTFSI). The P3HT-rich microphase conducts electronic charge, while the PEO-rich microphase conducts ionic charge. The nearly symmetric P3HT-PEO copolymer used in this study self-assembles into a lamellar phase. In contrast, the morphologies of asymmetric copolymers with P3HT as the major component are dominated by nanofibrils. A combination of ac and dc impedance measurements was used to determine the electronic and ionic conductivities of our samples. The ionic conductivities of P3HT-PEO/LiTFSI mixtures are lower than those of mixtures of PEO homopolymer and LITFSI, in agreement with published data obtained from other block copolymer/salt mixtures. In contrast, the electronic conductivities of the asymmetric P3HT PEO copolymers are significantly higher than those of the P3HT homopolymer. This is unexpected because of the presence of the nonelectronically conducting PEO microphase. This implies that the Intrinsic electronic conductivity of the P3HT microphase in P3HT PEO copolymers is significantly higher than that of P3HT homopolymers.

AB Using a diamond anvil cell, 14 angstrom tobermorite, a structural analogue of calcium silicate hydrates (C-S-H), was examined by high-pressure synchrotron X-ray diffraction up to 4.8 GPa under hydrostatic conditions. The bulk modulus of 14 angstrom tobermorite was calculated, K-o = 47 GPa. Comparison of the current results with previous high pressure studies on C-S-H(I) indicates that: (1) the compression behavior of the lattice parameters a and b of 14 angstrom tobermorite and C-S-H(I) are very similar, implying that both materials may have very similar Ca-O layers, and also implying that an introduction of structural defects into the Ca-O layers may not substantially change in-plane incompressibility of the ab) plane of 14 angstrom tobermorite: and (2) the bulk modulus values of 14 angstrom tobermorite and C-S-H(I) are dominated by the incompressibility of the lattice parameter c, which is directly related to the interlayer spacing composed of dreierketten silicate chains, interlayer Ca, and water molecules.

AB Environmental organisms are extremely diverse and only a small fraction has been successfully cultured in the laboratory. Culture in micro wells provides a method for rapid screening of a wide variety of growth conditions and commercially available plates contain a large number of substrates, nutrient sources, and inhibitors, which can provide an assessment of the phenotype of an organism. This review describes applications of phenotype arrays to anaerobic and thermophilic microorganisms, use of the plates in stress response studies, in development of culture media for newly discovered strains, and for assessment of phenotype of environmental communities. Also discussed are considerations and challenges in data interpretation and visualization, including data normalization, statistics, and curve fitting.

AB Next-generation sequencing has changed metagenomics. However, sequencing DNA is no longer the bottleneck, rather, the bottleneck is computational analysis and also interpretation. Computational cost is the obvious issue, as is tool limitations, considering most of the tools we routinely use have been built for clonal genomics or are being adapted to microbial communities. The current trend in metagenomics analysis is toward reducing computational costs through improved algorithms and through analysis strategies. Data sharing and interoperability between tools are critical, since computation for metagenomic datasets is very high.

AB Heterogeneity of cellular systems has been widely recognized but only recently have tools become available that allow probing of genes and proteins in single cells to understand it. While the advancement in single cell genomic analysis has been greatly aided by the power of amplification techniques (e.g. PCR), analysis of proteins in single cells has proven to be more challenging. However, recent advances in multi-parameter flow cytometry, microscopy, microfluidics and other techniques have made it possible to measure wide variety of proteins in single cells. In this review, we highlight key recent developments in analysis of proteins in a single cell (excluding imaging-based methods), and discuss their significance in biological research.

AB The vital nature of metal uptake and balance in biology is evident in the highly evolved strategies to facilitate metal homeostasis in all three domains of life. Several decades of study on metals and metalloproteins have revealed numerous essential bio-metal functions. Recent advances in mass spectrometry, X-ray scattering/absorption, and proteomics have exposed a much broader usage of metals in biology than expected. Even elements such as uranium, arsenic, and lead are implicated in biological processes as part of an emerging and expansive view of bio-metals. Here we discuss opportunities and challenges for established and newer approaches to study metalloproteins with a focus on technologies that promise to rapidly expand our knowledge of metalloproteins and metal functions in biology.

AB How the structural changes of each active material in mixed cathode systems take place at different charge-discharge rates is quite important in the application of the system in which the mixed cathode materials with different rate capabilities are formed into one composite electrode. Here we report the results of the real time structural change studies of mixed LiMn2O4-LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 composite cathode in a Li-ion cell by using in situ synchrotron-based time resolved x-ray diffraction (TR-XRD) technique. The layer structured component in the mixed composite cathode system shows less utilization at fast discharge rate (high power mode) whereas the spinel structured component is fully utilized. This clearly demonstrates that the reduced capacity at fast discharge rate for this system is caused by the less utilization of the layer structured component. The real time monitoring of the structural behavior at various discharge rates is a great tool to design the best ratios of active materials with different rate capabilities in the mixed cathode systems for different applications.

AB Group II chaperonins mediate protein folding in an ATP-dependent manner in eukaryotes and archaea. The binding of ATP and subsequent hydrolysis promotes the closure of the multi-subunit rings where protein folding occurs. The mechanism by which local changes in the nucleotide-binding site are communicated between individual subunits is unknown. The crystal structure of the archaeal chaperonin from Methanococcus maripaludis in several nucleotides bound states reveals the local conformational changes associated with ATP hydrolysis. Residue Lys-161, which is extremely conserved among group II chaperonins, forms interactions with the gamma-phosphate of ATP but shows a different orientation in the presence of ADP. The loss of the ATP gamma-phosphate interaction with Lys-161 in the ADP state promotes a significant rearrangement of a loop consisting of residues 160-169. We propose that Lys-161 functions as an ATP sensor and that 160-169 constitutes a nucleotide-sensing loop (NSL) that monitors the presence of the gamma-phosphate. Functional analysis using NSL mutants shows a significant decrease in ATPase activity, suggesting that the NSL is involved in timing of the protein folding cycle.

AB Fusarium species are ubiquitous in nature, cause a range of plant diseases, and produce a variety of chemicals often referred to as secondary metabolites. Although some fungal secondary metabolites affect plant growth or protect plants from other fungi and bacteria, their presence in grain-based food and feed is more often associated with a variety of diseases in plants and in animals. Many of these structurally diverse metabolites are derived from a family of related enzymes called polyketide synthases (PKSs). A search of genomic sequence of Fusarium verticillioides, Fusarium graminearum, Fusarium oxysporum, and Fusarium solani identified a total of 58 PKS genes. To gain insight into how this gene family evolved and to guide future studies, we conducted phylogenomic and functional domain analyses. The resulting geneaology suggested that Fusarium PKSs represent 34 different groups responsible for synthesis of different core metabolites. The analyses indicate that variation in the Fusarium PKS gene family is due to gene duplication and loss events as well as enzyme gain-of-function due to the acquisition of new domains or of loss-of-function due to nucleotide mutations. Transcriptional analysis indicates that the 16 F. verticillioides PKS genes are expressed under a range of conditions, further evidence that they are functional genes that confer the ability to produce secondary metabolites.

AB Drafts in high-rise buildings caused by the stack effect can cause noise and reduce the performances of ventilation, cooling and heating systems as well as the building's energy efficiency. Revolving doors are generally used as a method to reduce drafts; however, the effect would only be limited to the main entrance on the lobby floor.
Revolving doors have two main advantages; that their opening areas are seldom changed by people passing through the doors, and the doors do not have the pressure-related functional problems. Considering these advantages, this study examined a quantitative draft reduction method using revolving doors in high-rise buildings. This method would contribute to the design process to install revolving doors to buildings and consists of 10 steps with two key steps of selecting the installation locations of revolving doors and to calculate the air leakage area of revolving doors. Verification through simulations showed that, based on this process, the use of revolving doors could reduce the drafts in buildings by a quantified target value. Furthermore, the possibility of problems due to the stack effect in the other walls of buildings would decrease due to the pressure sharing of the additional walls fitted to revolving doors.

AB This study aims to evaluate the optimal illuminance for each lighting colour of light-emitting diode (LED) light sources among the seven major lighting colours (red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, yellow and white); the focus was on the optimal combination of these colours for enhancement of occupant comfort and communication indoors. The evaluation of optimal illuminance for LED lighting colours found that the occupants felt the cyan LED light source was similar to a white light source, and that the relative brightness of the green lighting colour was higher than that for other colours. The evaluation of the permissible range of illuminance for LED lighting colours found that occupants believed the red lighting colours to be relatively darker; again, the relative brightness of green lighting was considered to be higher. An experiment with subjects for LED lighting colours (consisting of 19 patterns of 7 colours in the living room of a house) found that the optimal illuminance for occupants' comfort was 32[lx]-119[lx], and for occupants' communication was 107[lx]-584[lx]. These results satisfied the illuminance criteria of Korean Standards as the optimal illuminance for occupants' comfort and communication in the living room.

AB With the fourth release of the Community Climate System Model, the ability to perform ultra-high-resolution climate simulations is now possible, enabling eddy-resolving ocean and sea-ice models to be coupled to a finite-volume atmosphere model for a range of atmospheric resolutions. This capability was made possible by enabling the model to use large scale parallelism, which required a significant refactoring of the software infrastructure. We describe the scalability of two ultra-high-resolution coupled configurations on leadership class computing platforms. We demonstrate the ability to utilize over 30,000 processor cores on a Cray XT5 system and over 60,000 cores on an IBM Blue Gene/P system to obtain climatologically relevant simulation rates for these configurations.

AB The Community Atmosphere Model (CAM), which serves as the atmosphere component of the Community Climate System Model (CCSM), is the most computationally expensive CCSM component in typical configurations. On current and next-generation leadership class computing systems, the performance of CAM is tied to its parallel scalability. Improving performance scalability in CAM has been a challenge, due largely to algorithmic restrictions necessitated by the polar singularities in its latitude-longitude computational grid. Nevertheless, through a combination of exploiting additional parallelism, implementing improved communication protocols, and eliminating scalability bottlenecks, we have been able to more than double the maximum throughput rate of CAM on production platforms. We describe these improvements and present results on the Cray XT5 and IBM BG/P. The approaches taken are not specific to CAM and may inform similar scalability enhancement activities for other codes.

AB The Community Climate System Model (CCSM) has been developed over the last decade, and it is used to understand past, present, and future climates. The latest versions of the model, CCSM4 and CESM1, contain totally new coupling capabilities in the CPL7 coupler that permit additional flexibility and extensibility to address the challenges involved in earth system modeling. The CPL7 coupling architecture takes a completely new approach with respect to the high-level design of the system. CCSM4 now contains a top-level driver that calls model component initialize, run, and finalize methods through specified interfaces. The top-level driver allows the model components to be placed on relatively arbitrary hardware processor layouts and run sequentially, concurrently, or mixed. Improvements have been made to the memory and performance scaling of the coupler to support much higher resolution configurations. CCSM4 scales better to higher processor counts, and has the ability to handle global resolutions up to one-tenth of a degree.

PIO provides the flexibility to control the number of I/O tasks through data rearrangement to an I/O friendly decomposition. This flexibility enables reductions in per task memory usage and improvements in disk I/O performance versus a serial I/O approach.

AB Global Earth System Models (ESMs) can now produce simulations that resolve similar to 50 km features and include finer scale, interacting physical processes. However, the current explicit algorithms that dominate production ESMs require ever-decreasing time steps in order to achieve these fine-resolution solutions, which limits time to solution even when efficiently exploiting the spatial parallelism. Solution methods that overcome these bottlenecks can be quite intricate, and there is no single set of algorithms that perform well across the range of problems of interest. This creates significant implementation challenges, which is further compounded by the complexity of ESMs. Therefore, prototyping and evaluating new algorithms in these models requires a software interface that is flexible, extensible, and easily introduced into the existing software. We describe our efforts to create a parallel solver interface that links the Trilinos collection of solver libraries to the Glimmer Community Ice Sheet Model (Glimmer-CISM), a continental ice-sheet model used in the Community Earth System Model (CESM). We demonstrate this interface within both current and developmental versions of Glimmer-CISM and provide strategies for its integration into the rest of the CESM.

ID DATA ASSIMILATION; KALMAN FILTER; SCHEMES; MODEL
AB Two new filtering/diffusion operators have been implemented in the Community Atmosphere Model finite-volume dynamical core (CAM-FV). First, a fourth-order divergence damping operator has been added to optionally replace the second-order version that has traditionally been used. This provides more scale selective dissipation of divergent modes that can generate grid-scale noise in CAM-FV if not damped properly. For example, data assimilation runs using CAM-FV DART (Data Assimilation Research Testbed) have revealed potential noise problems at the grid scale that can be alleviated significantly using higher-order divergence damping. Second, a 'Laplacian'-type damping operator has been implemented to increase the explicit momentum dissipation in the top-of-atmosphere sponge layers. This helps control the excessive polar night jets that have been observed in ultra-high-resolution CAM-FV simulations. Results from stand-alone CAM-FV and CAM-FV DART are presented in this paper along with details on the implementation of the new operators.

AB The Community Atmosphere Model (CAM) version 5 includes a spectral element dynamical core option from NCAR's High-Order Method Modeling Environment. It is a continuous Galerkin spectral finite-element method designed for fully unstructured quadrilateral meshes. The current configurations in CAM are based on the cubed-sphere grid. The main motivation for including a spectral element dynamical core is to improve the scalability of CAM by allowing quasi-uniform grids for the sphere that do not require polar filters. In addition, the approach provides other state-of-the-art capabilities such as improved conservation properties. Spectral elements are used for the horizontal discretization, while most other aspects of the dynamical core are a hybrid of well-tested techniques from CAM's finite volume and global spectral dynamical core options. Here we first give an overview of the spectral element dynamical core as used in CAM. We then give scalability and performance results from CAM running with three different dynamical core options within the Community Earth System Model, using a pre-industrial time-slice configuration. We focus on high-resolution simulations, using 1/4 degree, 1/8 degree, and T341 spectral truncation horizontal grids.

AB One of the major factors associated with global change is the ever-increasing concentration of atmospheric CO2. Although the stimulating effects of elevated CO2 (eCO(2)) on plant growth and primary productivity have been established, its impacts on the diversity and function of soil microbial communities are poorly understood. In this study, phylogenetic microarrays (PhyloChip) were used to comprehensively survey the richness, composition and structure of soil microbial communities in a grassland experiment subjected to two CO2 conditions (ambient, 368 p. p. m., versus elevated, 560 p. p. m.) for 10 years. The richness based on the detected number of operational taxonomic units (OTUs) significantly decreased under eCO(2). PhyloChip detected 2269 OTUs derived from 45 phyla (including two from Archaea), 55 classes, 99 orders, 164 families and 190 subfamilies. Also, the signal intensity of five phyla (Crenarchaeota, Chloroflexi, OP10, OP9/JS1, Verrucomicrobia) significantly decreased at eCO(2), and such significant effects of eCO(2) on microbial composition were also observed at the class or lower taxonomic levels for most abundant phyla, such as Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes and Acidobacteria, suggesting a shift in microbial community composition at eCO(2). Additionally, statistical analyses showed that the overall taxonomic structure of soil microbial communities was altered at eCO(2). Mantel tests indicated that such changes in species richness, composition and structure of soil microbial communities were closely correlated with soil and plant properties. This study provides insights into our understanding of shifts in the richness, composition and structure of soil microbial communities under eCO(2) and environmental factors shaping the microbial community structure.

AB Here we describe, the longest microbial time-series analyzed to date using high-resolution 16S rRNA tag pyrosequencing of samples taken monthly over 6 years at a temperate marine coastal site off Plymouth, UK. Data treatment effected the estimation of community richness over a 6-year period, whereby 8794 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were identified using single-linkage preclustering and 21 130 OTUs were identified by denoising the data. The Alphaproteobacteria were the most abundant Class, and the most frequently recorded OTUs were members of the Rickettsiales (SAR 11) and Rhodobacteriales. This near-surface ocean bacterial community showed strong repeatable seasonal patterns, which were defined by winter peaks in diversity across all years. Environmental variables explained far more variation in seasonally predictable bacteria than did data on protists or metazoan biomass. Change in day length alone explains >65% of the variance in community diversity. The results suggested that seasonal changes in environmental variables are more important than trophic interactions. Interestingly, microbial association network analysis showed that correlations in abundance were stronger within bacterial taxa rather than between bacteria and eukaryotes, or between bacteria and environmental variables.

AB The diversity and stability of bacterial communities present in the rhizosphere heavily influence soil and plant quality and ecosystem sustainability. The goal of this study is to understand how 'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus' (known to cause Huanglongbing, HLB) influences the structure and functional potential of microbial communities associated with the citrus rhizosphere. Clone library sequencing and taxon/group-specific quantitative real-time PCR results showed that 'Ca. L. asiaticus' infection restructured the native microbial community associated with citrus rhizosphere. Within the bacterial community, phylum Proteobacteria with various genera typically known as successful rhizosphere colonizers were significantly greater in clone libraries from healthy samples, whereas phylum Acidobacteria, Actinobacteria and Firmicutes, typically more dominant in the bulk soil were higher in 'Ca. L. asiaticus'-infected samples. A comprehensive functional microarray GeoChip 3.0 was used to determine the effects of 'Ca. L. asiaticus' infection on the functional diversity of rhizosphere microbial communities. GeoChip analysis showed that HLB disease has significant effects on various functional guilds of bacteria. Many genes involved in key ecological processes such as nitrogen cycling, carbon fixation, phosphorus utilization, metal homeostasis and resistance were significantly greater in healthy than in the 'Ca. L. asiaticus'-infected citrus rhizosphere. Our results showed that the microbial community of the 'Ca. L. asiaticus'-infected citrus rhizosphere has shifted away from using more easily degraded sources of carbon to the more recalcitrant forms. Overall, our study provides evidence that the change in plant physiology mediated by 'Ca.

AB Dehalococcoides ethenogenes strain 195 (DE195) was grown in a sustainable syntrophic association with Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough (DVH) as a co-culture, as well as with DVH and the hydrogenotrophic methanogen Methanobacterium congolense (MC) as a tri-culture using lactate as the sole energy and carbon source. In the co- and tri-cultures, maximum dechlorination rates of DE195 were enhanced by approximately three times (11.0 +/- 0.01 mu mol per day for the co-culture and 10.1 +/- 0.3 mu mol per day for the tri-culture) compared with DE195 grown alone (3.8 +/- 0.1 mu mol per day). Cell yield of DE195 was enhanced in the co-culture (9.0 +/- 0.5 x 10(7) cells per mu mol Cl- released, compared with 6.8 +/- 0.9 x 10(7) cells per mu mol Cl- released for the pure culture), whereas no further enhancement was observed in the tri-culture (7.3 +/- 1.8 x 10(7) cells per mu mol Cl- released). The transcriptome of DE195 grown in the co-culture was analyzed using a whole-genome microarray targeting DE195, which detected 102 significantly up-or down-regulated genes compared with DE195 grown in isolation, whereas no significant transcriptomic difference was observed between co-and tri-cultures. Proteomic analysis showed that 120 proteins were differentially expressed in the co-culture compared with DE195 grown in isolation. Physiological, transcriptomic and proteomic results indicate that the robust growth of DE195 in co-and tri-cultures is because of the advantages associated with the capabilities of DVH to ferment lactate to provide H-2 and acetate for growth, along with potential benefits from proton translocation, cobalamin-salvaging and amino acid biosynthesis, whereas MC in the tri-culture provided no significant additional benefits beyond those of DVH.

AB The Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is the deepest and largest offshore spill in the United State history and its impacts on marine ecosystems are largely unknown. Here, we showed that the microbial community functional composition and structure were dramatically altered in a deep-sea oil plume resulting from the spill. A variety of metabolic genes involved in both aerobic and anaerobic hydrocarbon degradation were highly enriched in the plume compared with outside the plume, indicating a great potential for intrinsic bioremediation or natural attenuation in the deep sea. Various other microbial functional genes that are relevant to carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur and iron cycling, metal resistance and bacteriophage replication were also enriched in the plume. Together, these results suggest that the indigenous marine microbial communities could have a significant role in biodegradation of oil spills in deep-sea environments.

AB A eutectic AuGe target immersed in distilled water was ablated by pulsed ultraviolet laser light. The structure of the ablated material was investigated by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The images show formation of nanowire structures of AuGe up to 100 nm in length, with widths of 5-10 nm. These nanostructures have Ge content significantly lower than the target material. Electron diffraction demonstrates that they crystallize in the alpha-AuGe structure. For comparison, laser ablation of pure Au and pure Ge targets was also performed under the same conditions. HRTEM shows that Ge forms spherical nanoparticles with a characteristic size of similar to 30 nm. Au forms spherical nanoparticles with diameters of similar to 10 nm. Similar to AuGe, it also forms chainlike structures with substantially lower aspect ratio.

AB Plasmodium falciparum, the most virulent agent of human malaria, undergoes both asexual cycling and sexual differentiation inside erythrocytes. As the intraerythrocytic parasite develops it increases in size and alters the permeability of the host cell plasma membrane. An intriguing question is: how is the integrity of the host erythrocyte maintained during the intraerythrocytic cycle? We have used water window cryo X-ray tomography to determine cell morphology and hemoglobin content at different stages of asexual and sexual differentiation. The cryo stabilization preserves native structure permitting accurate analyses of parasite and host cell volumes. Absorption of soft X-rays by protein adheres to Beer-Lambert's law permitting quantitation of the concentration of hemoglobin in the host cell compartment. During asexual development the volume of the parasite reaches about 50% of the uninfected erythrocyte volume but the infected erythrocyte volume remains relatively constant. The total hemoglobin content gradually decreases during the 48 h cycle but its concentration remains constant until early trophozoite stage, decreases by 25%, then remains constant again until just prior to rupture. During early sexual development the gametocyte has a similar morphology to a trophozoite but then undergoes a dramatic shape change. Our cryo X-ray tomography analysis reveals that about 70% of the host cell hemoglobin is taken up and digested during gametocyte development and the parasite eventually occupies about 50% of the uninfected erythrocyte volume. The total volume of the infected erythrocyte remains constant, apart from some reversible shrinkage at stage IV, while the concentration of hemoglobin decreases to about 70% of that in an uninfected erythrocyte.

AB Soft X-ray tomography (SXT) is a powerful imaging technique that generates quantitative, 3D images of the structural organization of whole cells in a near-native state. SXT is also a high-throughput imaging technique. At the National Center for X-ray Tomography (NCXT), specimen preparation and image collection for tomographic reconstruction of a whole cell require only minutes. Aligning and reconstructing the data, however, take significantly longer. Here we describe a new component of the high throughput computational pipeline used for processing data at the NCXT. We have developed a new method for automatic alignment of projection images that does not require fiducial markers or manual interaction with the software. This method has been optimized for SXT data sets, which routinely involve full rotation of the specimen. This software gives users of the NCXT SXT instrument a new capability - virtually real-time initial 3D results during an imaging experiment, which can later be further refined. The new code, Automatic Reconstruction 3D (AREC3D), is also fast, reliable, and robust. The fundamental architecture of the code is also adaptable to high performance GPU processing, which enables significant improvements in speed and fidelity. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc.

AB Cryo-elecron microscopy (cryo-EM) can provide important structural information of large macromolecular assemblies in different conformational states. Recent years have seen an increase in structures deposited in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) by fitting a high-resolution structure into its low-resolution cryo-EM map. A commonly used protocol for accommodating the conformational changes between the X-ray structure and the cryo-EM map is rigid body fitting of individual domains. With the emergence of different flexible fitting approaches, there is a need to compare and revise these different protocols for the fitting. We have applied three diverse automated flexible fitting approaches on a protein dataset for which rigid domain fitting (RDF) models have been deposited in the PDB. In general, a consensus is observed in the conformations, which indicates a convergence from these theoretically different approaches to the most probable solution corresponding to the cryo-EM map. However, the result shows that the convergence might not be observed for proteins with complex conformational changes or with missing densities in cryo-EM map. In contrast, RDF structures deposited in the PDB can represent conformations that not only differ from the consensus obtained by flexible fitting but also from X-ray crystallography. Thus, this study emphasizes that a "consensus" achieved by the use of several automated flexible fitting approaches can provide a higher level of confidence in the modeled configurations. Following this protocol not only increases the confidence level of fitting, but also highlights protein regions with uncertain fitting. Hence, this protocol can lead to better interpretation of cryo-EM data. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

AB This paper describes a novel method to increase the resistive T (c) of cuprate superconductors to values approaching room temperature. The method is based on our analysis of the inhomogeneous superconducting state for the "pseudogap" region and on the interplay of doping and pair-breaking phenomena. What we propose involves specific ordering of the dopants that leads to the formation of regions that can carry a supercurrent at high temperatures.

AB Doped cuprates are inhomogeneous superconductors. The concept of an intrinsic critical temperature, T-intr.(c) equivalent to T-c*, whose value greatly exceeds that for the resistive T-res.(c) equivalent to Tc, is supported by a number of experimental studies, including those performed recently. These data are discussed in this review. The anomalous diamagnetism observed at T-res.(c) < T < T-c* is a manifestation of the presence of superconducting clusters embedded into a normal metallic matrix. The value of intrinsic critical temperature in some cuprates reaches a value which is close to room temperature. The a.c. properties of such inhomogeneous systems are discussed.

AB Determining transcription factor (TF) recognition motifs or operator sites is central to understanding gene regulation, yet few operators have been characterized. In this study, we used a protein-binding microarray (PBM) to discover the DNA recognition sites and putative regulons for three TetR and one MarR family TFs derived from Burkholderia xenovorans, which are common to the genus Burkholderia. We also describe the development and application of a more streamlined version of the PBM technology that significantly reduced the experimental time. Despite the genus containing many pathogenically important species, only a handful of TF operator sites have been experimentally characterized for Burkholderia to date. Our study provides a significant addition to this knowledge base and illustrates some general challenges of discovering operators on a large scale for prokaryotes.

AB Excitonic phenomena, such as excitonic absorption and emission, have been used in many photonic and optoelectronic semiconductor device applications. As the sizes of these nanoscale materials have approached to exciton diffusion lengths in semiconductors, a fundamental understanding of exciton transport in semiconductors has become imperative. We present exciton transport in a single MgZnO nanorod in the spatiotemporal regime with several nanometer-scale spatial resolution and several tens of picosecond temporal resolution. This study was performed using temperature-dependent cathodoluminescence and time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopies. The exciton diffusion length in the MgZnO nanorod decreased from 100 to 70 nm with increasing temperature in the range of S and 80 K The results obtained for the temperature dependence of exciton diffusion length and luminescence lifetime revealed that the dominant exciton scattering mechanism in MgZnO nanorod is exciton-phonon assisted piezoelectric field scattering.

AB Herein, we present a lithium-doped fullerane (Li-x-C-60-H-y) that is capable of reversibly storing hydrogen through chemisorption at elevated temperatures and pressures. This system is unique in that hydrogen is closely associated with lithium and carbon upon rehydrogenation of the material and that the weight percent of H-2 stored in the material is intimately linked to the stoichiometric ratio of Li:C-60 in the material. Characterization of the material (IR, Raman, UV-vis, XRD, LDI-TOF-MS, and NMR) indicates that a lithium-doped fullerane is formed upon rehydrogenation in which the active hydrogen storage material is similar to a hydrogenated fullerene. Under optimized conditions, a lithium-doped fullerane with a Li:C-60 mole ratio of 6:1 can reversibly desorb up to 5 wt % H-2 with an onset temperature of similar to 270 degrees C, which is significantly less than the desorption temperature of hydrogenated fullerenes (C60Hx) and pure lithium hydride (decomposition temperature 500-600 and 670 degrees C respectively). However, our Li-x-C-60-H-y system does not suffer from the same drawbacks as typical hydrogenated fullerenes (high desorption T and release of hydrocarbons) because the fullerene cage remains mostly intact and is only slightly modified during multiple hydrogen desorption/absorption cycles. We also observed a reversible phase transition of C-60 in the material from face-centered cubic to body-centered cubic at high levels of hydrogenation.

AB Graphene-based devices have garnered tremendous attention due to the unique physical properties arising from this purely two-dimensional carbon sheet leading to tremendous efficiency in the transport of thermal carriers (i.e., phonons). However, it is necessary for this two-dimensional material to be able to efficiently transport heat into the surrounding 3D device architecture in order to fully capitalize on its intrinsic transport capabilities. Therefore, the thermal boundary conductance at graphene interfaces is a critical parameter in the realization of graphene electronics and thermal solutions. In this work, we examine the role of chemical functionalization on the thermal boundary conductance across metal/graphene interfaces. Specifically, we metalize graphene that has been plasma functionalized and then measure the thermal boundary conductance at Al/graphene/SiO2 contacts with time domain thermoreflectance. The addition of adsorbates to the graphene surfaces are shown to influence the cross plane thermal conductance; this behavior is attributed to changes in the bonding between the metal and the graphene, as both the phonon flux and the vibrational mismatch between the materials are each subject to the interfacial bond strength. These results demonstrate plasma-based functionalization of graphene surfaces is a viable approach to manipulate the thermal boundary conductance.

AB Infrared band gap semiconductor nanocrystals are promising materials for exploring generation III photovoltaic concepts that rely on carrier multiplication or multiple exciton generation, the process in which a single high-energy photon generates more than one electron-hole pair. In this work, we present measurements of carrier multiplication yields and biexciton lifetimes for a large selection of PbS nanocrystals and compare these results to the well-studied PbSe nanocrystals. The similar bulk properties of PbS and PbSe make this an important comparison for discerning the pertinent properties that determine efficient carrier multiplication. We observe that PbS and PbSe have very similar biexciton lifetimes as a function of confinement energy. Together with the similar bulk properties, this suggests that the rates of multiexciton generation, which is the inverse of Auger recombination, are also similar. The carrier multiplication yields in PbS nanocrystals, however, are strikingly lower than those observed for PbSe nanocrystals. We suggest that this implies the rate of competing processes, such as phonon emission, is higher in PbS nanocrystals than in PbSe nanocrystals. Indeed, our estimations for phonon emission mediated by the polar Frohlich-type interaction indicate that the corresponding energy-loss rate is approximately twice as large in PbS than in PbSe.

AB Defects are known to affect nanoscale phase transitions, but their specific role in the metal-to-insulator transition in VO2 has remained elusive. By combining plasmon resonance nanospectroscopy with density functional calculations, we correlate decreased phase-transition energy with oxygen vacancies created by strain at grain boundaries. By measuring the degree of metallization in the lithographically defined VO2 nanoparticles, we find that hysteresis width narrows with increasing size, thus illustrating the potential for domain boundary engineering in phase-changing nanostructures.

AB Electronic two-dimensional Fourier transform (2D-FT) spectroscopy is applied to semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes and provides a spectral and time-domain map of exciton-phonon assisted excitations. Using 12 fs long pulses, we resolve side-bands above the E-22 transition that correspond with the RBM, G, G', 2G and other multiphonon modes. The appearance of 2D-FT spectral cross-peaks explicitly resolves discrete phonon assisted population transfer that scatters excitations to the E-22 (Gamma-pt) state, often through a second-order exciton-phonon coupling process. All 2D-FT peaks exhibit a strong peak amplitude modulation at the G-band period (21 fs) which we show originates from an impulsive stimulated Raman process that populates a ground-state G-band vibrational coherence over a 1.3 Ps phonon lifetime.

AB We have revealed the fundamental embryonic structure of deformation twins using in situ mechanical testing of magnesium single crystals in a transmission electron microscope. This structure consists of an array of twin-related laths on the scale of several nanometers. A computational model demonstrates that this structure should be a generic feature at the incipient stage of deformation twinning when there are correlated nucleation events. Our results shed light on the origin of twinning-induced plasticity and transformation toughening, critical to the development of advanced structural alloys with high strength, ductility, and toughness.

AB We calculate the electronic local density of states (LDOS) of DNA nucleotide bases (A,C,G,T), deposited on graphene. We observe significant base-dependent features in the LDOS in an energy range within a few electronvolts of the Fermi level. These features can serve as electronic fingerprints for the identification of individual bases in scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) experiments that perform image and site dependent spectroscopy on biomolecules. Thus the fingerprints of DNA-graphene hybrid structures may provide an alternative route to DNA sequencing using STS.

AB Quantum wires, as a smallest electronic conductor, are expected to be a fundamental component in all quantum architectures. The electronic conductance in quantum wires, however, is often dictated by structural instabilities and electron localization at the atomic scale. Here we report on the evolutions of electronic transport as a function of temperature and interwire coupling as the quantum wires of GdSi2 are self-assembled on Si(100) wire-by-wire. The correlation between structure, electronic properties, and electronic transport are examined by combining nanotransport measurements, scanning tunneling microscopy, and density functional theory calculations. A metal-insulator transition is revealed in isolated nanowires, while a robust metallic state is obtained in wire bundles at low temperature. The atomic defects lead to electron localizations in isolated nanowire, and interwire coupling stabilizes the structure and promotes the metallic states in wire bundles. This illustrates how the conductance nature of a one-dimensional system can be dramatically modified by the environmental change on the atomic scale.

AB We demonstrate scaffolding of plasmonic nanoparticles by topological defects induced by colloidal microspheres to match their surface boundary conditions with a uniform far-field alignment in a liquid crystal host. Displacing energetically costly liquid crystal regions of reduced order, anisotropic nanoparticles with concave or convex shapes not only stably localize in defects but also self-orient with respect to the microsphere surface. Using laser tweezers, we manipulate the ensuing nanoparticle-microsphere colloidal dimers, probing the strength of elastic binding and demonstrating self-assembly of hierarchical colloidal superstructures such as chains and arrays.

AB Finding a Si-based material with strong optical activity at the band-edge remains a challenge despite decades of research. The interest lies in combining optical and electronic functions on the same wafer, while retaining the extraordinary know-how developed for Si. However, Si is an indirect-gap material. The conservation of crystal momentum mandates that optical activity at the band-edge includes a phonon, on top of an electron-hole pair, and hence photon absorption and emission remain fairly unlikely events requiring optically rather thick samples. A promising avenue to convert Si-based materials to a strong light-absorber/emitter is to combine the effects on the band-structure of both nanostructuring and alloying. The number of possible configurations, however, shows a combinatorial explosion. Furthermore, whereas it is possible to readily identify the configurations that are formally direct in the momentum space (due to band-folding) yet do not have a dipole-allowed transition at threshold, the problem becomes not just calculation of band structure but also calculation of absorption strength. Using a combination of a genetic algorithm and a semiempirical pseudopotential Hamiltonian for describing the electronic structures, we have explored hundreds of thousands of possible coaxial core/multishell Si/Ge nanowires with the orientation of [001], [110], and [111], discovering some "magic sequences" of core followed by specific Si/Ge multishells, which can offer both a direct bandgap and a strong oscillator strength. The search has revealed a few simple design principles: (i) the Ge core is superior to the Si core in producing strong bandgap transition; (ii) [001] and [110] orientations have direct bandgap, whereas the [111] orientation does not; (iii) multishell nanowires can allow for greater optical activity by as much as an order of magnitude over plain nanowires; (iv) the main motif of the winning configurations giving direct allowed transitions involves rather thin Si shell embedded within wide Ge shells. We discuss the physical origin of the enhanced optical activity, as well as the effect of possible experimental structural imperfections on optical activity in our candidate core/multishell nanowires.

AB Monodisperse CoPd nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized and studied for catalytic formic acid (HCOOH) oxidation (FAO). The NPs were prepared by coreduction of Co(acac)(2) (acac = acetylacetonate) and PdBr2 at 260 degrees C in oleylamine and trioctylphosphine, and their sizes (5-12 nm) and compositions (Co10Pd90 to Co60Pd40) were controlled by heating ramp rate, metal salt concentration, or metal molar ratios. The 8 nm CoPd NPs were activated for HCOOH oxidation by a simple ethanol wash. In 0.1 M HClO4 and 2 M HCOOH solution, their catalytic activities followed the trend of Co50Pd50 > Co60Pd40 > Co10Pd90 > Pd. The Co50Pd50 NPs had an oxidation peak at 0.4 V with a peak current density of 774 A/g(Pd). As a comparison, commercial Pd catalysts showed an oxidation peak at 0.75 V with peak current density of only 254 A/g(Pd). The synthesis procedure could also be extended to prepare CuPd NPs when Co(acac)(2) was replaced by Cu(ac)(2) (ac = acetate) in an otherwise identical condition. The CuPd NPs were less active catalysts than CoPd or even Pd for FAO in HClO4 solution. The synthesis provides a general approach to Pd-based bimetallic NPs and will enable further investigation of Pd-based alloy NPs for electro-oxidation and other catalytic reactions.

AB Recent studies disagree on how rainfall extremes over India have changed in space and time over the past half century'', as well as on whether the changes observed are due to global warming(5,6) or regional urbanization(7). Although a uniform and consistent decrease in moderate rainfall has been reported, a lack of agreement about trends in heavy rainfall may be due in part to differences in the characterization and spatial averaging of extremes. Here we use extreme value theory(8-15) to examine trends in Indian rainfall over the past half century in the context of long-term, low-frequency variability. We show that when generalized extreme value theory(8,16-18) is applied to annual maximum rainfall over India, no statistically significant spatially uniform trends are observed, in agreement with previous studies using different approaches(2-4). Furthermore, our space-time regression analysis of the return levels points to increasing spatial variability of rainfall extremes over India. Our findings highlight the need for systematic examination of global versus regional drivers of trends in Indian rainfall extremes, and may help to inform flood hazard preparedness and water resource management in the region.

AB Understanding the mechanisms of biospheric feedbacks to climate change is critical to project future climate warming(1-3). Although microorganisms catalyse most biosphere processes related to fluxes of greenhouse gases, little is known about the microbial role in regulating future climate change(4). Integrated metagenomic and functional analyses of a long-term warming experiment in a grassland ecosystem showed that microorganisms play crucial roles in regulating soil carbon dynamics through three primary feedback mechanisms: shifting microbial community composition, which most likely led to the reduced temperature sensitivity of heterotrophic soil respiration; differentially stimulating genes for degrading labile but not recalcitrant carbon so as to maintain long-term soil carbon stability and storage; and enhancing nutrient-cycling processes to promote plant nutrient-use efficiency and hence plant growth. Elucidating microbially mediated feedbacks is fundamental to understanding ecosystem responses to climate warming and provides a mechanistic basis for carbon-climate modelling.

AB Rotating and stably stratified Boussinesq flow is investigated for Burger number unity in domain aspect ratio (height/horizontal length) delta < 1 and delta = 1. To achieve Burger number unity, the non-dimensional rotation and stratification frequencies (Rossby and Froude numbers, respectively) are both set equal to a second small parameter epsilon < 1. Non-dimensionalization of potential vorticity distinguishes contributions proportional to (epsilon delta)(-1), delta(-1) and O(1). The (epsilon delta)(-1) terms are the linear terms associated with the pseudopotential vorticity of the quasi-geostrophic limit. For fixed delta = 1/4 and a series of decreasing a, numerical simulations are used to assess the importance of the delta(-1) contribution of potential vorticity to the potential enstrophy. The change in the energy spectral scalings is studied as epsilon is decreased. For intermediate values of epsilon, as the flow transitions to the (delta epsilon)(-1) regime in potential vorticity, both the wave and vortical components of the energy spectrum undergo changes in their scaling behavior. For sufficiently small epsilon, the (delta epsilon)(-1) contributions dominate the potential vorticity, and the vortical mode spectrum recovers k(-3) quasi-geostrophic scaling. However, the wave mode spectrum shows scaling that is very different from the well-known k(-1) scaling observed for the same asymptotics at delta = 1. Visualization of the wave component of the horizontal velocity at delta = 1/4 reveals a tendency toward a layered structure while there is no evidence of layering in the delta = 1 case. The investigation makes progress toward quantifying the effects of aspect ratio delta on the epsilon -> 0 asymptotics for the wave component of unit Burger number flows. At the lowest value of epsilon = 0.002, it is shown that the horizontal kinetic energy spectral scalings are consistent with phenomenology that explains how linear potential vorticity constrains energy in the limit E epsilon -> 0 for fixed delta.

AB We present an experimental study of the mixing processes in a gravity current flowing on an inclined plane. The turbulent transport of momentum and density can be described in a very direct and compact form by a Prandtl mixing length model: the turbulent vertical fluxes of momentum and density are found to scale quadratically with the vertical mean gradients of velocity and density. The scaling coefficient, the square of the mixing length, is approximately constant over the mixing zone of the stratified shear layer. We show how, in different flow configurations, this length can be related to the shear length of the flow (epsilon/partial derivative(z)u(3))(1/2). We also study the fluctuations of the momentum and density turbulent fluxes, showing how they relate to mixing and to the entrainment/detrainment balance. We suggest a quantitative measure of local entrainment and detrainment derived from observed conditional correlations of density flux and density or vertical velocity fluctuations.

AB Ni2MnGa(100) single crystal studied using low energy electron diffraction (LEED) and ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy (UPS) exhibits interesting modification of the surface properties that are mainly influenced by surface composition as well as intrinsic effects. In the martensite phase, the LEED spot profiles show presence of an incommensurate modulation for the stoichiometric surface. In contrast, a commensurate modulation is observed for Mn-excess Ni-Mn-Ga surface. A pre-martensite phase is identified at the surface. Both the surface martensitic and pre-martensitic transition temperatures decrease as the Mn content increases. The UPS spectra in the austenite phase exhibit systematic change in shape as a function of surface composition that can be related to changes in the hybridization between Ni and Mn 3d states. The spectra in the martensite phase exhibit interesting modifications near the Fermi level, which has been compared to density of states calculated for a modulated structure by ab-initio density functional theory. Intrinsic surface properties dissimilar from the bulk are enhanced hysteresis width of the martensite transition and increased pre-martensitic transition temperature. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.

AB Understanding the interactions of hydrogen atoms with the surface and the subsurface regions of Pd is critical to the development of advanced energy technologies for hydrogen storage, hydrogen separations, and catalytic conversion processes. While many of the physical and chemical characteristics of the H-2-Pd system are known, the kinetics and thermodynamics of H atom absorption into the bulk, transport from the bulk back to the surface, and desorption from the surface remain unclear. In this work, the kinetics of D-2 release from Pd following exposure to D-2 over a range of pressures and temperatures were measured using temperature programmed desorption. To accurately simulate the kinetics of D-2 release, the continuum-based model of Mavrikakis, et al. (J. Chem. Phys 105, 8398, 1996) was extended to include activation barriers for desorption and transport that depend on D atom concentration in the surface, subsurface and bulk regions of the Pd. The use of concentration dependent barriers improves the ability of the model to predict the hydrogen uptake and release kinetics observed across temperatures ranging from 100 to 600 K.

AB Chemical bonding has often been ignored in favor of physics based energetic considerations in attempts to understand the structure, stability, and reactivity of oxide surfaces. Herein, we analyze the chemical bonding in published structures of the SrTiO3, MgO, and NiO surfaces using bond valence sum (BVS) analysis. These simple chemical bonding theories compare favorably with far more complex quantum mechanical calculations in assessing surface structure stability. Further, the coordination and bonding of surface structures explains the observed stability in a readily comprehensible manner. Finally, we demonstrate how simple chemical bonding models accurately predict the adsorption of foreign species onto surfaces, and how such models can be used to predict changes in surface structures.

AB Using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), we demonstrate that oxidation on Pb films is greatly enhanced by atomic Cs catalysts. With only a minute concentration of isolated Cs substitutional atoms in the surface layer (0.004 ML coverage), surface oxidation rates are greatly enhanced. First-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that a substitutional Cs atom strongly increases O-2 binding on the surface. Then, with additional oxygen exposure this substitutional Cs-initiated oxidation process results in growth of PbO layers in an auto-catalytic manner. Furthermore, we investigate the role of temperature in the oxidation of the Pb films with and without Cs, and we explore the overall morphology of the resultant oxide layers. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.

AB Nitric oxide chemistry and photochemistry on the Cr-terminated surface of alpha-Cr2O3(0001) were examined using temperature programmed desorption (TPD), sticking coefficient measurements and photodesorption. NO exposed to alpha-Cr2O3(0001) at 100 K binds at surface Cr cation sites forming a strongly bound surface species that thermally desorbs at 320-340 K, depending on coverage. No thermal decomposition was detected in TPD in agreement with previous results in the literature. Sticking probability measurements at 100 K indicated near unity sticking for NO up to coverages of similar to 1.3 ML, with additional adsorption with higher exposures at decreased sticking probability. These results suggest that some Cr cation sites on the alpha-Cr2O3(0001) surface were capable of binding more than one NO molecule, although it is unclear whether this was as separate NO molecules or as dimers. Photodesorption of adsorbed NO was examined for surface coverages below the 1 ML point. Both visible and UV light were shown to photodesorb NO without detectable NO photodecomposition. Visible light photodesorption of NO occurred with a greater cross section than estimated using UV light. The visible light photodesorption event was not associated with bandgap excitation in alpha-Cr2O3(0001), but instead was linked to excitation of a surface Cr3+-NO- charge transfer complex. These results illustrate that localized photoabsorption events at surface sites with unique optical properties (relative to the bulk) can result in unexpected surface photochemistry.

AB We show that the HF acid etch commonly used to prepare SrTiO3(001) for heteroepitaxial growth of complex oxides results in a non-negligible level of F doping within the terminal surface layer of TiO2. Using a combination of x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and scanned angle x-ray photoelectron diffraction, we determine that on average similar to 13% of the O anions in the surface layer are replaced by F. but that F does not occupy O sites in deeper layers. Despite this perturbation to the surface, the Fermi level remains unpinned, and the surface-state density, which determines the amount of band bending, is driven by factors other than F doping. The presence of F at the STO surface is expected to result in lower electron mobilities at complex oxide hetero-junctions involving STO substrates because of impurity scattering. Unintentional F doping can be substantially reduced by replacing the HF-etch step with a boil in deionized water, which in conjunction with an oxygen tube furnace anneal, leaves the surface flat and TiO2 terminated.

AB The maximum light use efficiency (LUE = gross primary production (GPP)/absorbed photosynthetic photon flux density (aPPFD)) of plant canopies has been reported to vary spatially and some of this variation has previously been attributed to plant species differences. The canopy nitrogen concentration [N] can potentially explain some of this spatial variation. However, the current paradigm of the N-effect on photosynthesis is largely based on the relationship between photosynthetic capacity (A(max)) and [N], i.e., the effects of [N] on photosynthesis rates appear under high PPFD. A maximum LUE-[N] relationship, if it existed, would influence photosynthesis in the whole range of PPFD. We estimated maximum LUE for 14 eddy-covariance forest sites, examined its [N] dependency and investigated how the [N]-maximum LUE dependency could be incorporated into a GPP model. In the model, maximum LUE corresponds to LUE under optimal environmental conditions before light saturation takes place (the slope of GPP vs. PPFD under low PPFD). Maximum LUE was higher in deciduous/mixed than in coniferous sites, and correlated significantly with canopy mean [N]. Correlations between maximum LUE and canopy [N] existed regardless of daily PPFD, although we expected the correlation to disappear under low PPFD when LUE was also highest. Despite these correlations, including [N] in the model of GPP only marginally decreased the root mean squared error. Our results suggest that maximum LUE correlates linearly with canopy [N], but that a larger body of data is required before we can include this relationship into a GPP model. Gross primary production will therefore positively correlate with [N] already at low PPFD, and not only at high PPFD as is suggested by the prevailing paradigm of leaf-level A(max)-[N] relationships. This finding has consequences for modelling GPP driven by temporal changes or spatial variation in canopy [N].

AB Structure-specific 5'-nucleases form a superfamily of evolutionarily conserved phosphodiesterases that catalyse a precise incision of a diverse range of DNA and RNA substrates in a sequence-independent manner. Superfamily members, such as flap endonucleases, exonuclease 1, DNA repair protein XPG, endonuclease GEN1 and the 5'-3'-exoribonucleases, play key roles in many cellular processes such as DNA replication and repair, recombination, transcription, RNA turnover and RNA interference. In this review, we discuss recent results that highlight the conserved architectures and active sites of the structure-specific 5'-nucleases. Despite substrate diversity, a common gating mechanism for sequence-independent substrate recognition and incision emerges, whereby double nucleotide unpairing of substrates is required to access the active site.

AB Objective: Despite the rise of high-throughput technologies, clinical data such as age, gender and medical history guide clinical management for most diseases and examinations. To improve clinical management, available patient information should be fully exploited. This requires appropriate modeling of relevant parameters.
Methods: When kernel methods are used, traditional kernel functions such as the linear kernel are often applied to the set of clinical parameters. These kernel functions, however, have their disadvantages due to the specific characteristics of clinical data, being a mix of variable types with each variable its own range. We propose a new kernel function specifically adapted to the characteristics of clinical data.
Results: The clinical kernel function provides a better representation of patients' similarity by equalizing the influence of all variables and taking into account the range r of the variables. Moreover, it is robust with respect to changes in r. Incorporated in a least squares support vector machine, the new kernel function results in significantly improved diagnosis, prognosis and prediction of therapy response. This is illustrated on four clinical data sets within gynecology, with an average increase in test area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.023, 0.021, 0.122 and 0.019, respectively. Moreover, when combining clinical parameters and expression data in three case studies on breast cancer, results improved overall with use of the new kernel function and when considering both data types in a weighted fashion, with a larger weight assigned to the clinical parameters. The increase in AUC with respect to a standard kernel function and/or unweighted data combination was maximum 0.127, 0.042 and 0.118 for the three case studies.
Conclusion: For clinical data consisting of variables of different types, the proposed kernel function which takes into account the type and range of each variable - has shown to be a better alternative for linear and non-linear classification problems. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) M2-class solar flare, SOL2010-06-12T00: 57, was modest in many respects yet exhibited remarkable acceleration of energetic particles. The flare produced an similar to 50 s impulsive burst of hard X-and gamma-ray emission up to at least 400 MeV observed by the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor and Large Area Telescope experiments. The remarkably similar hard X-ray and high-energy gamma-ray time profiles suggest that most of the particles were accelerated to energies greater than or similar to 300 MeV with a delay of similar to 10 s from mildly relativistic electrons, but some reached these energies in as little as similar to 3 s. The gamma-ray line fluence from this flare was about 10 times higher than that typically observed from this modest GOES class of X-ray flare. There is no evidence for time-extended >100 MeV emission as has been found for other flares with high-energy gamma-rays.

AB We have used the relativistic multi-reference Moller-Plesset perturbation theory to calculate the energy levels of Fe XVI, including those of the autoionizing levels with a hole state in the L shell. Comparison of the resulting L-shell transition wavelengths with those from recent laboratory measurements shows remarkable agreement, i.e., agreement within the experimental uncertainties. Our calculation allows us to predict the wavelength of the second strongest 2p-3d Fe XVI line, which has not yet been directly observed in the laboratory, to be 15.266 angstrom. This wavelength is within 0.0042 angstrom of the strong Fe XVII line commonly labeled 3D. Relying on the high accuracy of our calculations, we have reassigned two previously identified lines and predict a different location than previously thought for the strongest Fe XVI magnetic quadrupole transition. Inspection of the spectra of Capella recorded with the transmission grating spectrometers on the Chandra X-ray Observatory yields features corresponding to the predicted location of the innershell excited Fe XVI lines. These features have not been identified before. Our analysis shows that these features are most likely from Fe XVI.

AB A search of the time-series photometry from NASA's Kepler spacecraft reveals a transiting planet candidate orbiting the 11th magnitude G5 dwarf KIC 10593626 with a period of 290 days. The characteristics of the host star are well constrained by high-resolution spectroscopy combined with an asteroseismic analysis of the Kepler photometry, leading to an estimated mass and radius of 0.970 +/- 0.060 M-circle dot and 0.979 +/- 0.020 R-circle dot. The depth of 492 +/- 10 ppm for the three observed transits yields a radius of 2.38 +/- 0.13 Re for the planet. The system passes a battery of tests for false positives, including reconnaissance spectroscopy, high-resolution imaging, and centroid motion. A full BLENDER analysis provides further validation of the planet interpretation by showing that contamination of the target by an eclipsing system would rarely mimic the observed shape of the transits. The final validation of the planet is provided by 16 radial velocities (RVs) obtained with the High Resolution Echelle Spectrometer on Keck I over a one-year span. Although the velocities do not lead to a reliable orbit and mass determination, they are able to constrain the mass to a 3 sigma upper limit of 124 M-circle plus, safely in the regime of planetary masses, thus earning the designation Kepler-22b. The radiative equilibrium temperature is 262 K for a planet in Kepler-22b's orbit. Although there is no evidence that Kepler-22b is a rocky planet, it is the first confirmed planet with a measured radius to orbit in the habitable zone of any star other than the Sun.

AB We present the results of a search for extraterrestrial electron antineutrinos ((nu) over bar (e)'s) in the energy range 8.3 MeV E-<(nu) over bare < 31.8 MeV using the KamLAND detector. In an exposure of 4.53 kton-year, we identify 25 candidate events. All of the candidate events can be attributed to background, most importantly neutral current atmospheric neutrino interactions, setting an upper limit on the probability of B-8 solar nu(e)'s converting into nu(e)'s at 5.3 x 10(-5) (90% CL), if we assume an undistorted nu(e) shape. This limit corresponds to a solar nu(e) flux of 93 cm(-2) s(-1) or an event rate of 1.6 events (kton-year)(-1) above the energy threshold (E-<(nu)over bar>e >= 8.3 MeV). The present data also allows us to set more stringent limits on the diffuse supernova neutrino flux and on the annihilation rates for light dark matter particles.

AB A recent examination of 1.9 s magnetic field data recorded by the Voyager 2 spacecraft in transit to Jupiter revealed several instances of strongly aliased spectra suggestive of unresolved high-frequency magnetic fluctuations at 4.4 AU. A closer examination of these intervals using the highest resolution data available revealed one clear instance of wave activity at spacecraft frame frequencies from 0.2 to 1 Hz. Using various analysis techniques, we have characterized these fluctuations as Bernstein mode waves excited by newborn interstellar pickup ions. We can find no other interpretation or source consistent with the observations, but this interpretation is not without questions. In this paper, we report a detailed analysis of the waves, including their frequency and polarization, that supports our interpretation.

AB Performing a stable, long-duration simulation of driven MHD turbulence with a high thermal Mach number and a strong initial magnetic field is a challenge to high-order Godunov ideal MHD schemes because of the difficulty in guaranteeing positivity of the density and pressure. We have implemented a robust combination of reconstruction schemes, Riemann solvers, limiters, and constrained transport electromotive force averaging schemes that can meet this challenge, and using this strategy, we have developed a new adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) MHD module of the ORION2 code. We investigate the effects of AMR on several statistical properties of a turbulent ideal MHD system with a thermal Mach number of 10 and a plasma beta(0) of 0.1 as initial conditions; our code is shown to be stable for simulations with higher Mach numbers (M-rms = 17.3) and smaller plasma beta (beta(0) = 0.0067) as well. Our results show that the quality of the turbulence simulation is generally related to the volume-averaged refinement. Our AMR simulations show that the turbulent dissipation coefficient for supersonic MHD turbulence is about 0.5, in agreement with unigrid simulations.

AB We present the Kormendy and mass-size relations (MSR) for early-type galaxies (ETGs) as a function of environment at z similar to 1.3. Our sample includes 76 visually classified ETGs with masses 10(10) < M/M-circle dot < 10(11.5), selected in the Lynx supercluster and in the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey/Chandra Deep Field South field; 31 ETGs in clusters, 18 in groups, and 27 in the field, all with multi-wavelength photometry and Hubble Space Telescope/Advanced Camera for Surveys observations. The Kormendy relation, in place at z similar to 1.3, does not depend on the environment. The MSR reveals that ETGs overall appear to be more compact in denser environments: cluster ETGs have sizes on average around 30%-50% smaller than those of the local universe and a distribution with a smaller scatter, whereas field ETGs show an MSR with a similar distribution to the local one. Our results imply that (1) the MSR in the field did not evolve overall from z similar to 1.3 to present; this is interesting and in contrast to the trend found at higher masses from previous works; (2) in denser environments, either ETGs have increased in size by 30%-50% on average and spread their distributions, or more ETGs have been formed within the dense environment from non-ETG progenitors, or larger galaxies have been accreted to a pristine compact population to reproduce the MSR observed in the local universe. Our results are driven by galaxies with masses M less than or similar to 2 x 10(11) M-circle dot and those with masses M similar to 10(11) M-circle dot follow the same trends as that of the entire sample. Following the Valentinuzzi et al. definition of superdense ETGs, similar to 35%-45% of our cluster sample is made up of superdense ETGs.

AB The identification of important amino acid substitutions associated with low survival in hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is hampered by the large number of observed substitutions compared with the small number of patients available for analysis. Random forest analysis is designed to address these limitations. We studied 2107 HCT recipients with good or intermediate risk hematological malignancies to identify HLA class I amino acid substitutions associated with reduced survival at day 100 post transplant. Random forest analysis and traditional univariate and multivariate analyses were used. Random forest analysis identified amino acid substitutions in 33 positions that were associated with reduced 100 day survival, including HLA-A 9, 43, 62, 63, 76, 77, 95, 97, 114, 116, 152, 156, 166 and 167; HLA-B 97, 109, 116 and 156; and HLA-C 6, 9, 11, 14, 21, 66, 77, 80, 95, 97, 99, 116, 156, 163 and 173. In all 13 had been previously reported by other investigators using classical biostatistical approaches. Using the same data set, traditional multivariate logistic regression identified only five amino acid substitutions associated with lower day 100 survival. Random forest analysis is a novel statistical methodology for analysis of HLA mismatching and outcome studies, capable of identifying important amino acid substitutions missed by other methods.

AB The percolation behavior of grain boundary networks is characterized in two-and three-dimensional lattices with circular macroscale cross-sections that correspond to nuclear fuel elements. The percolation of gas bubbles on grain boundaries, and the subsequent percolation of grain boundary networks is the primary mechanism of fission gas release from nuclear fuels. Both radial cracks and radial gradients in grain boundary property distributions are correlated with the fraction of grain boundaries vented to the free surfaces. Our results show that cracks surprisingly do not significantly increase the percolation of uniform grain boundary networks. However, for networks with radial gradients in boundary properties, the cracks can considerably raise the vented grain boundary content. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

DE Density functional theory; Radiation effects; Waste materials
ID AUGMENTED-WAVE METHOD; ELECTRONIC-STRUCTURE; ENERGIES; DEFECTS
AB We investigate Zr in SrTiO3 (STO) as a model for nuclear waste forms in which the fission product Sr-90 eventually decays to stable Zr through beta emission. The transformation of a divalent into a tetravalent constituent is expected to affect the long-term structural and chemical stability of this solid. Computational methods of electronic structure theory, specifically the density functional theory (DFT) within the supercell model, are used to predict the thermodynamic stability and electronic states of interstitial and Sr- or Ti-substituted Zr atoms in the STO lattice. Native defects such as vacancies and antisites are also considered. When Zr replaces Sr, its most stable configuration is to simply occupy the Sr site. For Zr added to the lattice, its most stable configuration is to replace a Ti, making a Zr-Ti impurity plus a Ti interstitial. Zr-Sr is predicted to be a double electron donor, Zr-Ti is electrically inactive and interstitial Zr and Ti are predicted to be quadruple donors, with all donor levels in the conduction band. The interstitials are all predicted to increase the crystal volume, and lead to a tetragonal distortion of the lattice. Experiments with injection of Zr and O atoms into STO qualitatively confirm these predictions of crystal structural changes. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB A crystallization study of four tetra-O-alkyl pcarboxylatocalix[4]arenes from a series of pyridine derivatives has been carried out to investigate the effects of varying the length of the calixarene lower-rim alkyl group introduced, and the introduction of alkyl groups around the pyridine guest/ template. Analysis of 11 of 24 possible sets of single crystals formed shows trends in self-assembly based on the availability of the calixarene cavity for guest/template inclusion, either Py center dot center dot center dot CO2H or CO2H center dot center dot center dot CO2H synthons, and dominance of one synthon over the other depending on the position of alkyl groups around the pyridine ring.

AB The Amazon rain forest may undergo significant change in response to future climate change. To determine the likelihood and causes of such changes, the authors analyzed the output of 24 models from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) and a dynamic vegetation model, Vegetation-Global-Atmosphere-Soil (VEGAS), driven by these climate output. Their results suggest that the core of the Amazon rain forest should remain largely stable because rainfall in the core of the basin is projected to increase in nearly all models. However, the periphery, notably the southern edge of Amazonia and farther south into central Brazil (SAB), is in danger of drying out, driven by two main processes. First, a decline in precipitation of 11% during the southern Amazonia's dry season (May-September) reduces soil moisture. Two dynamical mechanisms may explain the forecast reduction in dry season rainfall: 1) a general subtropical drying under global warming when the dry season southern Amazon basin is under the control of subtropical high pressure and 2) a stronger north-south tropical Atlantic sea surface temperature gradient and, to a lesser degree, a warmer eastern equatorial Pacific. The drying corresponds to a lengthening of the dry season by approximately 10 days. The decline in soil moisture occurs despite an increase in precipitation during the wet season, because of nonlinear responses in hydrology associated with the decline in dry season precipitation, ecosystem dynamics, and an increase in evaporative demand due to the general warming. In terms of ecosystem response, higher maintenance cost and reduced productivity under warming may also have additional adverse impact. Although the IPCC models have substantial intermodel variation in precipitation change, these latter two hydroecological effects are highly robust because of the general warming simulated by all models. As a result, when forced by these climate projections, a dynamic vegetation model VEGAS projects an enhancement of fire risk by 20%-30% in the SAB region. Fire danger reaches its peak in Amazonia during the dry season, and this danger is expected to increase primarily because of the reduction in soil moisture and the decrease in dry season rainfall. VEGAS also projects a reduction of about 0.77 in leaf area index (LAI) over the SAB region. The vegetation response may be partially mediated by the CO2 fertilization effect, because a sensitivity experiment without CO2 fertilization shows a higher 0.89 decrease in LAI. Southern Amazonia is currently under intense human influence as a result of deforestation and land-use change. Should this direct human impact continue at present rates, added pressure to the region's ecosystems from climate change may subject the region to profound changes in the twenty-first century.

TI Modeling Damage Induced Initiation of Explosives

DT Article
DE Impact initiation; Non-shock initiation; Initiation model; Damage
initiation; Shear initiation
AB Sandia National Laboratories developed the DaMaGe Initiated Reaction (DMGIR) model to numerically predict weakly supported shock waves that generate an initiation at energy levels below the shock-to-detonation transition (SDT) of an explosive. The DMGIR model couples the strain energy fluence contribution from damage to the initiation process. It does not attempt to include all possible specific initiation mechanisms at the mesoscale, but instead looks at cumulative damage incurred in the explosive through experimental calibration of a small number of material constants. Both shock pressure (hydrostatic) and shear stress (deviatoric) are accounted for in the summation. The model was designed to be robust and relatively simple to calibrate. The DMGIR model is implemented into the Sandia National Laboratories' CTH shock wave and large deformation code. The model runs concurrently with the existing History Variable Reactive Burn (HVRB) model currently used for shock initiation.

AB For Kolsky bar testing beyond strain-rates of 10,000/s, it is useful to employ bars with diameters of only a few millimeters or less. Furthermore, very small (sub-millimeter) systems are compatible with micron-sized specimens, to be used, for example, for the determination of mesoscale properties. However, at these sizes, traditional strain-gage measurements of the longitudinal waves within the bars become impractical. In this paper we describe the application of optical measurement techniques to two Kolsky bars, with 3.2 and 1.6 mm diameters. A transverse displacement interferometer is used to measure the displacement of the mid-point of the incident bar and provide measurements of the incident and reflected pulses. Similarly, a normal displacement interferometer is used to measure the displacement of the free-end of the transmitter bar and provide a measurement of the transmitted pulse. The new methods are used to characterize the behavior of 6061-T6 aluminum at rates greater than 100,000/s. The feasibility of application to smaller bars is also discussed.

AB In our prior studies ([Igci, Y., et al., AIChE J., 2008, 54, 1431-1448] and [Igci, Y., Sundaresan S., AIChE J., 2010, in press]) we presented a methodology where computational results obtained through highly resolved simulations of a given microscopic two-fluid model (TFM) for gas-particle flows are filtered to deduce constitutive models for the residual correlations appearing in the corresponding filtered TFM equations that are appropriate for coarse-grid simulations of gas-particle flows. We had also analyzed the flow behavior in the vicinity of solid boundaries and proposed wall corrections for these constitutive models. We had ascertained that the filtered models do yield nearly the same time-averaged macroscale flow behavior in vertical channel flows as the underlying kinetic-theory-based TFM, thus verifying the filtered model approach. In the present study, we have performed a set of 3D computational simulations for validation of the filtered TFM against the experimental data on riser flow [Karri, S., et al., PSRI Challenge Problem 1, Workshop 3 Modeling Test, at the 8th International Conference on Fluidization, Tour, France, 1995]. It is found that inclusion of wall corrections brings the filtered model predictions closer to the experimental data and that simulations corresponding to different filter lengths yield nearly the same results.

AB The copper transporter ATP7A has attracted significant attention since the discovery of its gene mutation leading to human Menkes disease. We previously reported that ATP7A is highly expressed in the human vasculature and identified a novel vascular function of ATP7A in modulation of the expression and activity of extracellular superoxide dismutase. We recently identified that ATP7A expression in THP-1 cells (a monocyte/macrophage model cell line) plays a role in the oxidation of low density lipoproteins, indicating that it is necessary to further investigate its expression and function in monocytes/macrophages. In the current study, we demonstrated the protein and mRNA expression of ATP7A in human peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC)-derived macrophages and alveolar macrophages. ATP7A was strongly co-localized with the trans-Golgi apparatus in PBMC-derived macrophages. Intracellular copper, detected by synchrotron X-ray fluorescence microscopy, was found to be distributed to the nucleus and cytoplasm in human THP-1 cells. To confirm the role of endogenous ATP7A in macrophage copper homeostasis, we performed inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry in murine peritoneal macrophages, which showed markedly increased intracellular copper levels in macrophages isolated from ATP7A-deficient mice versus control mice. Moreover, the role of ATP7A in regulating macrophage responses to dermal wounds was studied by introduction of control and ATP7A-downregulated THP-1 cells into dermal wounds of nude mice. Infiltration of THP-1 cells into the wounded area (detected by expression of human macrophage markers MAC2 and CD68) was reduced in response to downregulation of ATP7A, hinting decreased macrophage accumulation subsequent to dermal wounds. In summary, alongside our previous studies, these findings indicate that human macrophage ATP7A is localized in the trans-Golgi apparatus, regulates intracellular copper levels, and mediates macrophage responses to a dermal wound.

AB Analytical thioacidolysis releases diagnostic monomers from lignins by selectively cleaving alkyl aryl ether bonds. High yielding syntheses of the three thioacidolysis monomers were developed, and the compounds were used as standards for gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and gas chromatography flame ionization detector (GC-FID) quantitation of monomers released from lignocellulosics. First, syringyl, guaiacyl, and p-hydroxyphenyl glycerols were synthesized from the corresponding ethyl cinnamates and used as thioacidolysis substrates to prepare the monomers in high yields. These monomers were then used as standard compounds to measure their GC-MS and GC-FID response factors against two internal standards, 4,4'-ethylenebisphenol and tetracosane. For quantitation, it was shown that 4,4'-ethylenebisphenol is the better internal standard for GC-MS, whereas tetracosane remains the choice for GC-FID. When the obtained response factors were applied, the thioacidolysis monomer yields from white spruce, loblolly pine, poplar, bamboo, and sugar cane bagasse were determined by GC-MS. The obtained results were consistent with those reported in the literature.

AB Metabolic engineering was applied to the development of Escherichia coli capable of synthesizing tyrosol hydroxyphenyl)ethanol), an attractive phenolic compound with great industrial value, from glucose, a renewable carbon source. In this strain, tyrosine, which was supplied not only from the culture medium but also from the central metabolism, was converted into tyrosol via three steps: decarboxylation, amine oxidation, and reduction. The engineered strain synthesized both tyrosol and 4-hydroxyphenylacetate (4HPA), but disruption of the endogenous phenylacetaldehyde dehydrogenase gene shut off 4HPA production and improved the production of tyrosol as a sole product. The engineered mutant strain was capable of producing 0.5 mM tyrosol from 1% (w/v) glucose during a 48 h shake flask cultivation.

AB In-situ tensile tests have been performed in a dual beam focused ion beam and scanning electron microscope on as-grown and prestrained single-crystal molybdenum-alloy (Mo-alloy) fibers. The fibers had approximately square cross sections with submicron edge lengths and gauge lengths in the range of 9-41 mu m. In contrast to previously observed yield strengths near the theoretical strength of 10 GPa in compression tests of similar to 1-3-mu m long pillars made from similar Mo-alloy single crystals, a wide scatter of yield strengths between 1 and 10 GPa was observed in the as-grown fibers tested in tension. Deformation was dominated by inhomogeneous plastic events, sometimes including the formation of Luders bands. In contrast, highly prestrained fibers exhibited stable plastic flow, significantly lower yield strengths of similar to 1 GPa, and stress-strain behavior very similar to that in compression. A simple, statistical model incorporating the measured dislocation densities is developed to explain why the tension and compression results for the as-grown fibers are different.

AB Microcompression tests were performed on the Al/Nb multilayers of incoherent interfaces with the layer thicknesses of 5 nm Al/5 nm Nb and 50 nm Al/50 nm Nb. The Al-Nb multilayers showed increase in strength as the layer thickness was reduced; the average flow stresses at 5% plastic strain from the 5 nm Al/5 nm Nb and 50 nm Al/50 nm Nb layer thickness specimens were determined to be 2.1 GPa and 1.4 GPa respectively. The results from this Al-Nb microcompression study were compared with those of the previous report on Cu-Nb multilayer microcompression results that indicated that the flow stresses of the Al-Nb multilayer are lower than those of Cu-Nb with the same bilayer spacing. The observed difference in strength was attributed to a potential difference in the interfacial strength of the two incoherent multilayer systems.

AB There is much interest in the recent years in the nanoscale metallic multilayered composite materials due to their unusual mechanical properties, such as very high flow strength and stable plastic flow to large strains. These unique mechanical properties have been proposed to result from the interface-dominated plasticity mechanisms in nanoscale composite materials. Studying how the dislocation configurations and densities evolve during deformation will be crucial in understanding the yield, work hardening, and recovery mechanisms in the nanolayered materials. In an effort to shed light on these topics, uniaxial compression experiments on nanoscale Cu/Nb single-crystal multilayer pillars using ex situ synchrotron-based Laue x-ray microdiffraction technique were conducted. Using this approach, we studied the nanoscale Cu/Nb multilayer pillars before and after uniaxial compression to about 14% of plastic strain and found significant Laue peak broadening in the Cu phase, which indicates storage of statistically stored dislocations, while no significant Laue peak broadening was observed in the Nb phase in the nanoscale multilayers. These observations suggest that at 14% plastic strain of the nanolayered pillars, the deformation was dominated by plasticity in the Cu nanolayers and elasticity or possibly a zero net plasticity (due to the possibility of annihilation of interface dislocations) in the Nb nanolayers.

AB This work presents a model for the photoemission of electrons from sodium chloride nanoparticles 50-500 nm in size, illuminated by vacuum ultraviolet light with energy ranging from 9.4 to 10.9 eV. The discrete dipole approximation is used to calculate the electromagnetic field inside the particles, from which the two-dimensional angular distribution of emitted electrons is simulated. The emission is found to favor the particle's geometrically illuminated side, and this asymmetry is compared to previous measurements performed at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. By modeling the nanoparticles as spheres, the Berkeley group is able to semi-quantitatively account for the observed asymmetry. Here however, the particles are modeled as cubes, which are closer to their actual shape, and the interaction of an emitted electron with the particle surface is also considered. The end result shows that the modeled emission asymmetry for these low-energy electrons is more sensitive to the interaction with the particle-surface than to the specific particle shape, i.e., a sphere or cube.

AB We revisit the uncertainty in baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) forecasts and data analyses. In particular, we study how much the uncertainties on both the measured mean dilation scale and the associated error bar are affected by the non-Gaussianity of the non-linear density field. We examine two possible impacts of non-Gaussian analysis. (1) We derive the distance estimators from Gaussian theory, but use 1000 N-body simulations to measure the actual errors, and compare this to the Gaussian prediction. (2) We compute new optimal estimators, which requires the inverse of the non-Gaussian covariance matrix of the matter power spectrum. Obtaining an accurate and precise inversion is challenging, and we opted for a noise reduction technique applied on the covariance matrices. By measuring the bootstrap error on the inverted matrix, this work quantifies for the first time the significance of the non-Gaussian error corrections on the BAO dilation scale. We find that the variance (error squared) on distance measurements can deviate by up to 12 per cent between both estimators, an effect that requires a large number of simulations to be resolved. We next apply a reconstruction algorithm to recover some of the BAO signal that had been smeared by non-linear evolution, and we rerun the analysis. We find that after reconstruction, the rms error on the distance measurement improves by a factor of similar to 1.7 at low redshift (consistent with previous results), and the variance (s2) shows a change of up to 18 per cent between optimal and sub-optimal cases (note, however, that these discrepancies may depend in detail on the procedure used to isolate the BAO signal). We finally discuss the impact of this work on current data analyses.

AB The Akaike information criterion (AIC) has been used as a statistical criterion to compare the appropriateness of different dark energy candidate models underlying a particular data set. Under suitable conditions, the AIC is an indirect estimate of the KullbackLeibler divergence D(T?A) of a candidate model A with respect to the truth T. Thus, a dark energy model with a smaller AIC is ranked as a better model, since it has a smaller KullbackLeibler discrepancy with T. In this paper, we explore the impact of statistical errors in estimating the AIC during model comparison. Using a parametric bootstrap technique, we study the distribution of AIC differences between a set of candidate models due to different realizations of noise in the data and show that the shape and spread of this distribution can be quite varied. We also study the rate of success of the AIC procedure for different values of a threshold parameter popularly used in the literature. For plausible choices of true dark energy models, our studies suggest that investigating such distributions of AIC differences in addition to the threshold is useful in correctly interpreting comparisons of dark energy models using the AIC technique.

AB I briefly review some of the methods, developed at the Naval Research Laboratory, that were used in a variety of collaborations with the Frauenheim group. To aid experimental understanding at that time, we attempted to predict equilibrium structures and also provide calculated vibrational spectra for direct comparison to experimental measurements. Most of our work was on carbon-based systems with a heavy focus on fullerenes and diamond. More recently another pure carbon compound, graphene, has received much attention. In this paper, I present applications of density-functional-based spectroscopic techniques to a single graphene nanofilm and confirm that spin polarization can occur at the edge states. However, antiferromagnetic ordering is preferred over ferro-magnetic ordering. By extracting a Heisenberg Hamiltonian from the calculations the energy of the various spin multiplets can be estimated through diagonalization of this Hamiltonian. The Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof-density-functional theory (PBE-DFT) results indicate that both antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic graphene structures are vibrationally stable but that the lowest-energy eigenstate of the system is an open-shell singlet with a gap of approximately 14 cm(-1) to the open-shell triplet state. Consistent with recent work that stabilizes graphene nanofilms via adsorption onto metal surfaces the density functional results presented here show that small graphene nanofilms, while vibrationally stable, will exothermically form previously identified fullerene structures. Vibrational excitation spectra for the 54-atom graphene and fullerene structures are calculated to provide spectroscopic means for distinguishing between the two structures.

AB The time-dependent radial and poloidal velocity of edge turbulence is evaluated using a 2D time-delayed cross-correlation analysis of fast camera data from the gas puff imaging (GPI) diagnostic viewing the outer midplane region in Alcator C-Mod. The local poloidal velocity fluctuations are averaged over the poloidal viewing region of the GPI diagnostic and radially resolved over +/- 2 cm around the separatrix. The resulting poloidal velocity usually has a broadband frequency spectrum in the range similar to 1-20 kHz, and a radial correlation width which decreases with increasing line-averaged density. In some cases with ICRH heating there was also a coherent poloidal velocity oscillation at 6-7 kHz which was highly correlated with a poloidal magnetic field oscillation at the same frequency. Some of these results are similar to the geodesic acoustic modes and/or zonal flows described in previous experiments and theory.

AB For nonpolar and semipolar orientations of GaN heteroepitaxially grown on sapphire substrates, the development of growth procedures to improve surface morphology and microstructure has been driven in a largely empirical way. This work attempts to comprehensively link the intrinsic properties of GaN faceted growth, across orientations, in order to understand, design and control growth methods for nonpolar (1 1 2 0) GaN and semipolar (1 1 2 2) GaN on foreign substrates. This is done by constructing a comprehensive series of kinetic Wulff plots (or v-plots) by monitoring the advances of convex and concave facets in selective area growth. A methodology is developed to apply the experimentally determined v-plots to the interpretation and design of evolution dynamics in nucleation and island coalescence. This methodology offers a cohesive and rational model for GaN heteroepitaxy along polar, nonpolar and semipolar orientations, and is broadly extensible to the heteroepitaxy of other materials. We demonstrate furthermore that the control of morphological evolution, based on invoking a detailed knowledge of the v-plots, holds a key to the reduction of microstructural defects through effective bending of dislocations and blocking of stacking faults. The status and outlook of semipolar and nonpolar GaN growth on sapphire substrates will be presented.

DE Availability; Discrete event simulation; Output analysis
AB The system performance metric "availability" is a central concept with respect to the concerns of a plant's operators and owners, yet it can be abstract enough to resist explanation at system levels. Hence, there is a need for a system-level metric more closely aligned with a plant's (or, more generally, a system's) raison d'etre. Historically, availability of repairable systems - intrinsic, operational, or otherwise - has been defined as a ratio of times. This paper introduces a new concept of availability, called endogenous availability, defined in terms of a ratio of quantities of product yield. Endogenous availability can be evaluated using a discrete event simulation analysis methodology. A simulation example shows that endogenous availability reduces to conventional availability in a simple series system with different processing rates and without intermediate storage capacity, but diverges from conventional availability when storage capacity is progressively increased. It is shown that conventional availability tends to be conservative when a design includes features, such as in - process storage, that partially decouple the components of a larger system.

AB Solid-state O-17 NMR spectra of O-17-labeled benzoic and anisic acids are reported and benzoic acid is used to probe the surface of metal oxides. Complexes formed when benzoic acid is dry mixed with mesoporous silica, and nonporous titania and alumina are characterized. Chemical reactions with silica are not observed. The nature of benzoic acid on silica is a function of the water content of the oxide. The acid disperses in the pores of the silica if the silica is in equilibrium with ambient laboratory humidity. The acid displays high mobility as evidenced by a liquid-like. Lorentzian resonance. Excess benzoic acid remains as the crystalline hydrogen-bonded dimer. Benzoic acid reacts with titania and alumina surfaces in equilibrium with laboratory air to form the corresponding titanium and aluminum benzoates. In both materials the oxygen of the O-17-labeled acid is bound to the metal, showing the reaction proceeds by bond formation between oxygen deficient metal sites and the oxygen of the carboxylic acid. Al-27 MAS NMR confirms this mechanism for the reaction on alumina. Dry mixing of benzoic acid with alumina rapidly quenches pentacoordinate aluminum sites, excellent evidence that these sites are confined to the surface of the alumina particles.

AB We have used a simple analytic model of iterative wave reconstruction from HRTEM focal series to derive reconstruction guidelines. We find that the reconstruction must be padded and that samples with varying thicknesses over the field of view can require a very large number of iterations to correctly converge. We also consider the effect of a detector modulation transfer function, noise and an incorrect estimate on focal plane spacing on iterative wave reconstruction. We have used multislice simulations in 1D and 2D and developed a high-speed, parallelized implementation of exit wave reconstruction to validate our analytic model and demonstrate why convergence is required for quantitative sample thickness measurements.

AB A new acquisition scheme for energy-filtering transmission electron microscopy (EFTEM) spectrum-imaging (SI), named SmartEFTEM-SI, has been developed. The new method reduces the influence of CCD dark-current modulations on energy-filtered images and enables improved spatial-drift correction. In conventional EFTEM approaches, elemental maps are significantly degraded especially when these issues are not addressed. The new scheme also offers multiple-frame acquisition at individual energy planes, and the acquisition of a low-loss SI dataset immediately following the high-loss SI dataset recorded for a particular characteristic edge, enabling advanced spectral processing such as multiple-scattering deconvolution and thickness correction. After spectral processing of the high-loss SI datasets using the corresponding low-loss information, the absolute number of atoms of the particular element of interest can be determined. The SmartEFTEM-SI method thus offers absolute elemental quantification of a thin specimen over a large field of view. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB Modulation of histone modifications in the brain may represent a new mechanism for brain disorder therapy. Post-translational modifications of histones regulate gene expression, affecting major cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, and function. An important enzyme involved in one of these histone modifications is lysine specific demethylase 1 (LSD1). This enzyme is flavin-dependent and exhibits homology to amine oxidases. Parnate 8 (2-phenylcyclopropylamine (2-PCPA); tranylcypromine) is a potent inhibitor of monoamine oxidases, and derivatives of 2-PCPA have been used for development of selective LSD1 inhibitors based on the ability to form covalent adducts with flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD). Here we report the synthesis and in vitro characterization of LSD1 inhibitors that bond covalently to FAD. The two most potent and selective inhibitors were used to demonstrate brain penetration when administered systemically to rodents. First, radiosynthesis of a positron-emitting analogue was used to obtain preliminary biodistribution data and whole brain time-activity curves. Second, we demonstrate that this series of LSD1 inhibitors is capable of producing a cognitive effect in a mouse model. By using a memory formation paradigm, novel object recognition, we show that LSD1 inhibition can abolish long-term memory formation without affecting short-term memory, providing further evidence for the importance of reversible histone methylation in the function of the nervous system.

AB Morphological quantification of the complex structure of hierarchical geomaterials is of great relevance for Earth science and environmental engineering, among others. To date, methods that quantify the 3D morphology on length scales ranging from a few tens of nanometers to several hundred nanometers have had limited success. We demonstrate, for the first time, that it is possible to go beyond visualization and to extract quantitative morphological information from X-ray images in the aforementioned length scales. As examples, two different hierarchical geomaterials exhibiting complex porous structures ranging from nanometer to macroscopic scale are studied: a flocculated clay water suspension and two hydrated cement pastes. We show that from a single projection image it is possible to perform a direct computation of the ultra-small angle-scattering spectra. The predictions matched very well the experimental data obtained by the best ultra-small angle-scattering experimental setups as observed for the cement paste. In this context, we demonstrate that the structure of flocculated clay suspension exhibit two well-distinct regimes of aggregation, a dense mass fractal aggregation at short distance and a more open structure at large distance, which can be generated by a 3D reaction limited cluster-cluster aggregation process. For the first time, a high-resolution 3D image of fibrillar cement paste cluster was obtained from limited angle nanotomography.

AB We have developed a new methodology for miRNA assay using chemiluminescence imaging by poly(U) polymerase catalyzed miRNA polymerization. This method is very sensitive with a 50 fM limit of detection, which is comparable to or better than current assay methods. Multiplex detection for miRNA can be easily realized by introducing different capture probes onto the biosensor array, which will make it highly versatile for various research purposes.

AB The discovery of stable and active polyphosphate glucokinase (PPGK, EC 2.7.1.63) would be vital to cascade enzyme biocatalysis that does not require a costly ATP input. An open reading frame Tfu_1811 from Thermobifida fusca YX encoding a putative PPGK was cloned and the recombinant protein fused with a family 3 cellulose-binding module (CBM-PPGK) was overexpressed in Escherichia coli. Mg2+ was an indispensible activator. This enzyme exhibited the highest activity in the presence of 4 mM Mg2+ at 55 degrees C and pH 9.0. Under its suboptimal conditions (pH 7.5), the k(cat) and K-m values of CBM-PPGK on glucose were 96.9 and 39.7 s(-1) as well as 0.77 and 0.45 mM at 37 degrees C and 50 degrees C respectively. The thermoinactivation of CBM-PPGK was independent of its mass concentration. Through one-step enzyme purification and immobilization on a high-capacity regenerated amorphous cellulose, immobilized CBM-PPGK had an approximately eightfold half lifetime enhancement (i.e., t(1/2)=120 min) as compared to free enzyme at 50 degrees C. To our limited knowledge, this enzyme was the first thermostable PPGK reported. Free PPGK and immobilized CBM-PPGK had total turnover number values of 126,000 and 961,000 mol product per mol enzyme, respectively, suggesting their great potential in glucose-6-phosphate generation based on low-cost polyphosphate.

AB Objective: To study the relationship between subjective cognition and the neuropathological hallmark of Alzheimer disease (AD), amyloid-beta (A beta) deposition, using carbon 11-labeled Pittsburgh Compound B (PiB) positron emission tomography in normal elderly individuals.
Design: Cross-sectional analysis.
Subjects: Forty-eight cognitively normal elderly subjects (11 with high PiB uptake and 28 with low PiB uptake) were included. All underwent clinical and neuropsychological evaluations, magnetic resonance imaging, and positron emission tomography.
Setting: Berkeley Aging Cohort Study.
Main Outcome Measure: Relationship between PiB uptake and subjective cognition measures.
Results: Subjects with high PiB uptake showed significantly lower performance than those with low PiB uptake on an episodic memory measure and were less confident about their general memory abilities when required to evaluate themselves relative to other people of the same age. High and low PiB uptake groups did not differ on the accuracy of their cognitive self-reports compared with objective cognitive performance. General memory self-reports from the whole group were significantly correlated with regional PiB uptake in the right medial prefrontal cortex and anterior cingulate cortex and in the right precuneus and posterior cingulate cortex. Reduced confidence about memory abilities was associated with greater PiB uptake in these brain regions. All results were independent of demographic variables and depressive affects.
Conclusions: A decrease of self-confidence about memory abilities in cognitively normal elderly subjects may be related to the neuropathological hallmark of AD measured with PiB-positron emission tomography. Subjective cognitive impairment may represent a very early clinical manifestation of AD.

AB We report the petrology, O isotopic composition, and Al-Mg isotope systematics of a chondrule fragment from the Jupiter-family comet Wild 2, returned to Earth by NASA's Stardust mission. This object shows characteristics of a type II chondrule that formed from an evolved oxygen isotopic reservoir. No evidence for extinct Al-26 was found, with (Al-26/Al-27)(0) < 3.0 x 10(-6). Assuming homogenous distribution of Al-26 in the solar nebula, this particle crystallized at least 3 Myr after the earliest solar system objects-relatively late compared to most chondrules in meteorites. We interpret the presence of this object in a Kuiper Belt body as evidence of late, large-scale transport of small objects between the inner and outer solar nebula. Our observations constrain the formation of Jupiter (a barrier to outward transport if it formed further from the Sun than this cometary chondrule) to be more than 3 Myr after calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions.

AB Advances in modern computational methods and technology make it possible to carry out extensive molecular dynamics simulations of complex membrane proteins based on detailed atomic models. The ultimate goal of such detailed simulations is to produce trajectories in which the behavior of the system is as realistic as possible. A critical aspect that requires consideration in the case of biological membrane systems is the existence of a net electric potential difference across the membrane. For meaningful computations, it is important to have well validated methodologies for incorporating the latter in molecular dynamics simulations. A widely used treatment of the membrane potential in molecular dynamics consists of applying an external uniform electric field E perpendicular to the membrane. The field acts on all charged particles throughout the simulated system, and the resulting applied membrane potential V is equal to the applied electric field times the length of the periodic cell in the direction perpendicular to the membrane. A series of test simulations based on simple membrane-slab models are carried out to clarify the consequences of the applied field. These illustrative tests demonstrate that the constant-field method is a simple and valid approach for accounting for the membrane potential in molecular dynamics studies of biomolecular systems.

AB This review discusses the application of cellular biology, molecular biophysics, and computational simulation to understand membrane-mediated mechanisms by which oxysterols regulate cholesterol homeostasis. Side-chain oxysterols, which are produced enzymatically in vivo, are physiological regulators of cholesterol homeostasis and primarily serve as cellular signals for excess cholesterol. These oxysterols regulate cholesterol homeostasis through both transcriptional and non-transcriptional pathways; however, many molecular details of their interactions in these pathways are still not well understood. Cholesterol trafficking provides one mechanism for regulation. The current model of cholesterol trafficking regulation is based on the existence of two distinct cholesterol pools in the membrane: a low and a high availability/activity pool. It is proposed that the low availability/activity pool of cholesterol is integrated into tightly packing phospholipids and relatively inaccessible to water or cellular proteins, while the high availability cholesterol pool is more mobile in the membrane and is present in membranes where the phospholipids are not as compressed. Recent results suggest that oxysterols may promote cholesterol egress from membranes by shifting cholesterol from the low to the high activity pools. Furthermore, molecular simulations suggest a potential mechanism for oxysterol "activation" of cholesterol through its displacement in the membrane. This review discusses these results as well as several other important interactions between oxysterols and cholesterol in cellular and model lipid membranes.

AB One solution to the supply chain challenges of cellulosic biofuels is a network of local biomass processing depots (LBPDs) that can produce stable, dense, intermediate commodities and valuable co-products prior to shipping to a refinery. A techno-economic model of an LBPD facility that could incorporate multiple technologies and products was developed in Microsoft Excel to be used to economically and environmentally evaluate potential LBPD systems. In this study, three technologies (ammonia fiber expansion or AFEX (TM) pretreatment, fast pyrolysis, and leaf protein processing) were assessed for profitability. Pyrolysis was slightly profitable under the base conditions, leaf protein processing was highly unprofitable, and AFEX was profitable if biomass drying was not required. This model can be adapted to multiple feed-stocks and end uses, including both economic and environmental modeling. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB Resistance to anthracyclines and other chemotherapeutics due to P-glycoprotein (pgp)-mediated export is a frequent problem in cancer treatment. Here, we report that iron oxide-titanium dioxide core-shell nanocomposites can serve as efficient carriers for doxorubicin to overcome this common mechanism of drug resistance in cancer cells. Doxorubicin nanocarriers (DNC) increased effective drug uptake in drug-resistant ovarian cells. Mechanistically, doxorubicin bound to the TiO2 surface by a labile bond that was severed upon acidification within cell endosomes. Upon its release, doxorubicin traversed the intracellular milieu and entered the cell nucleus by a route that evaded pgp-mediated drug export. Confocal and X-ray fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry were used to show the ability of DNCs to modulate transferrin uptake and distribution in cells. Increased transferrin uptake occurred through clathrin-mediated endocytosis, indicating that nanocomposites and DNCs may both interfere with removal of transferrin from cells. Together, our findings show that DNCs not only provide an alternative route of delivery of doxorubicin to pgp-overexpressing cancer cells but also may boost the uptake of transferrin-tagged therapeutic agents.

AB The RF performance of a 1.3 GHz 9-cell superconducting niobium cavity was evaluated at cryogenic temperatures following surface processing by using the standard ILC-style recipe. The cavity is a TESLA-style 9-cell superconducting niobium cavity, with complete end group components including a higher order mode coupler, built in China for practical applications. An accelerating gradient of 28.6 MV/m was achieved at an unloaded quality factor of 4 x 10(9). The morphological property of mechanical features on the RF surface of this cavity was characterized through optical inspection. Correlation between the observed mechanical features and the RF performance of the cavity is attempted.

DE RF thermal effect; TTF-III input coupler; multipacting; dynamic RF power

AB An RF power coupler is one of the key components in a superconducting (SC) linac. It provides RF power to the SC cavity and interconnects different temperature layers (1.8 K, 4.2 K, 70 K and 300 K). The TTF-III coupler is one of the most promising candidates for the High Energy (HE) linac of Project X, but it cannot meet the average power requirements because of the relatively high temperature rise on the warm inner conductor, so some design modifications will be required. In this paper, we describe our simulation studies on the copper coating thickness on the warm inner conductor with RRR values of 10 and 100. Our purpose is to rebalance the dynamic and static loads, and finally lower the temperature rise along the warm inner conductor. In addition, to get stronger coupling, better power handling and less multipacting probability, one new cold part design was proposed using a 60 mm coaxial line; the corresponding multipacting simulation studies have also been investigated.

AB Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a physiological process in which epithelial cells acquire the motile and invasive characteristics of mesenchymal cells. Although EMT in embryonic development is a coordinated, organized process involving interaction between many different cells and tissue types, aspects of the EMT program can be inappropriately activated in response to microenvironmental alterations and aberrant stimuli, and this can contribute to disease conditions including tissue fibrosis and cancer progression. Here we will outline how EMT functions in normal development, how it could be activated in pathologic conditions-especially by matrix metalloproteinases-and how it may be targeted for therapeutic benefit.

AB Birds attracted to nest around coal ash settling basins may expose their young to contaminants by provisioning them with contaminated food. Diet and tissues of Common Grackle (Quiscalus quiscala) nestlings were analyzed for trace elements to determine if nestlings were accumulating elements via dietary exposure and if feather growth limits elemental accumulation in other tissues. Arsenic, cadmium, and selenium concentrations in ash basin diets were 5x higher than reference diets. Arsenic, cadmium, and selenium concentrations were elevated in feather, liver, and carcass, but only liver Se concentrations approached levels of concern. Approximately 15% of the total body burden of Se, As, and Cd was sequestered in feathers of older (>5 days) nestlings, whereas only 1% of the total body burden of Sr was sequestered in feathers. Feather concentrations of only three elements (As, Se, and Sr) were correlated with liver concentrations, indicating their value as non-lethal indicators of exposure. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

AB Nucleosome repositioning is a fundamental process in gene function. DNA elasticity is a key element of loop-mediated nucleosome repositioning. Two analytical models for DNA elasticity have been proposed: the linear sub-elastic chain (SEC), which allows DNA kinking, and the worm-like chain (WLC), with a harmonic bending potential. In vitro studies have shown that nucleosomes reposition in a discontiguous manner on a segment of DNA and this has also been found in ground-state calculations with the WLC analytical model. Here we study using Monte Carlo simulation the dynamics of DNA loop-mediated nucleosome repositioning at physiological temperatures using the SEC and WLC potentials. At thermal energies both models predict nearest-neighbor repositioning of nucleosomes on DNA, in contrast to the repositioning in jumps observed in experiments. This suggests a crucial role of DNA sequence in nucleosome repositioning. Copyright (C) EPLA, 2012

TI Coarse-grained theory of a realistic tetrahedral liquid model
SO EPL
LA English
DT Article
ID PHASE-TRANSITION; CONFINED WATER; SILICON; BEHAVIOR
AB Tetrahedral liquids such as water and silica-melt show unusual thermodynamic behavior such as a density maximum and an increase in specific heat when cooled to low temperatures. Previous work had shown that Monte Carlo and mean-field solutions of a lattice model can exhibit these anomalous properties with or without a phase transition, depending on the values of the different terms in the Hamiltonian. Here we use a somewhat different approach, where we start from a very popular empirical model of tetrahedral liquids -the Stillinger-Weber model- and construct a coarse-grained theory which directly quantifies the local structure of the liquid as a function of volume and temperature. We compare the theory to molecular-dynamics simulations and show that the theory can rationalize the simulation results and the anomalous behavior. Copyright (C) EPLA, 2012

ID SCATTERING LENGTH; ULTRACOLD ATOMS; MIXTURES; RECOMBINATION
AB Cold-atom developments suggest the prospect of measuring scaling properties and long-range fluctuations of continuous phase transitions at zero temperature. We discuss the conditions for characterizing the phase separation of Bose-Einstein condensates of boson atoms in two distinct hyperfine spin states. The mean-field description breaks down as the system approaches the transition from the miscible side. An effective spin description clarifies the ferromagnetic nature of the transition. We show that a difference in the scattering lengths for the bosons in the same spin state leads to an effective internal magnetic field. The point at which the internal magnetic field vanishes (i.e., equal values of the like-boson scattering lengths) is a special point. We show that the long-range density fluctuations are suppressed near that point, while the effective spin exhibits the long-range fluctuations that characterize critical points. The zero-temperature system exhibits critical opalescence with respect to long-wavelength waves of impurity atoms that interact with the bosons in a spin-dependent manner. Copyright (C) EPLA, 2012

DE Autonomous systems (ASs); security
AB While many attacks are distributed across botnets, investigators and network operators have recently identified malicious networks through high profile autonomous system (AS) depeerings and network shutdowns. In this paper, we explore whether some ASs indeed are safe havens for malicious activity. We look for ISPs and ASs that exhibit disproportionately high malicious behavior using 10 popular blacklists, plus local spam data, and extensive DNS resolutions based on the contents of the blacklists. We find that some ASs have over 80% of their routable IP address space blacklisted. Yet others account for large fractions of blacklisted IP addresses. Several ASs regularly peer with ASs associated with significant malicious activity. We also find that malicious ASs as a whole differ from benign ones in other properties not obviously related to their malicious activities, such as more frequent connectivity changes with their BGP peers. Overall, we conclude that examining malicious activity at AS granularity can unearth networks with lax security or those that harbor cybercrime.

The results show direct integration with established CMOS manufacturing lines without changing either the CMOS or the photonic process stack. Comparable results for each integration method show subpicojoule per bit modulation and the potential for further reductions. The analysis reveals that the process of integration does not limit the performance of photonic or electronic components, and clear steps to use smaller drivers to achieve sub-50 fJ/bit at 10 Gb/s operation are available.

AB Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x round wires are among the most promising high-temperature superconductor candidates for making high-field magnets that operate at fields above 20 T. Owing to the brittle nature of high-temperature superconductors, their electromechanical properties need to be studied and understood prior to magnet design and construction. The irreversible degradation of the critical current at high strains has been previously correlated to damage in the microstructure of the superconductor. The origin of the much smaller reversible strain dependence of the superconducting properties of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x x wires has not yet been studied in detail. In this paper, we determine the cause of the reversible effect of strain on the pinning force and the critical current at temperatures ranging from 4 K to 65 K. Measurements were made as a function of tensile strain in magnetic fields up to 16 T. The irreversibility fields, determined from the macroscopic pinning force at various temperatures and strains, and the critical temperature of the Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x wire were found to be strain dependent. The reversible change in critical current and pinning force in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x superconducting wires can be solely attributed to the dependence of the critical temperature on pressure.

AB The design and characterization of monolithic heat sinks, which can take the form of complex structures, is reported. The designs were conceived to augment heat transport for enhanced air cooling by exploiting clearly identified physical mechanisms, i.e., by streaming the flow through a 2-D array of polygonal ducts, by introducing flow-obstacle-induced local mixing, and by exploiting hydrodynamic instabilities to sustain flow unsteadiness. Fabrication of these unconventional designs was achieved by 3-D printing plastic patterns and converting them into monolithic copper structures by investment casting. A direct simulation approach aided by analytical solutions and experimental validation was undertaken to quantify fluid flow and heat transfer parameters. This paper concludes by quantifying the performance enhancement of the proposed heat sink geometries relative to a conventional longitudinally finned heat sink. On an equal pumping power basis, finned foam and slotted hexagonal heat sinks outperform conventional parallel plate finned heat sinks. On the other hand, the parallel plate heat sinks are better for pressure drop less than 20 Pa and slotted honeycombs are better for higher pressure drops (>20 Pa).

AB Solid-state photomultiplier (SSPM) arrays are a new technology that shows great promise to be used in PET detector modules. To reduce the number of channels in a PET scanner, it is attractive to use resistor dividers, which multiplex the number of channels in each module down to four analog output channels. It is also attractive to have SSPMs with large pixels (3 x 3 or 4 x 4 mm). However, large area SSPMs have correspondingly large capacitances (up to 1 nF) and directly coupling them to a resistive network will create a low-pass filter with a high RC time constant. In order to overcome this, we have developed an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) that "hides" the intrinsic capacitance of the SSPM array from a resistive network with current buffers, significantly improving the rise time of the SSPM signals when connected to the resistive network. The ASIC is designed for a wide range of SSPM sizes, up to 1 nF (equivalent to 4 x 4 mm(2)), and for input currents of 1 to 20 mA per channel. To accommodate various sizes of SSPM pixels, the ASIC uses adjustable current sources (to keep the feedback loop stable). A test ASIC has been fabricated that has 16 input channels, an internal resistor divider array that produces four analog outputs, 16 buffers that isolate the SSPM capacitance from the resistor array, and four output buffers that can drive 100 ohm loads. Thus, detector modules based on SSPMs and this ASIC should be compatible with the block detector readout electronics found in many PET cameras. Tests of this ASIC show that its rise time is <2 ns (and it will thus not significantly degrade the similar to 7 ns rise time of the SSPM pixels) and that the analog decoding circuitry functions properly.

AB Two 20 mm x 20 mm x 15 mm pixelated CZT detectors made by eV-Products were characterized using the new H3D Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC) readout system developed by the Instrumentation Division at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The ASIC is capable of reading out energy and timing signals from 121 anode pixels and the planar cathode electrode of one CZT detector simultaneously. The system has a measured electronic noise of similar to 2.2 keV FWHM with a dynamic range from 20 keV to 3.0 MeV. The two detectors achieved energy resolution of 0.48% FWHM and 0.60% FWHM, respectively, at 662 keV for single-pixel events from the entire 6.0 cm(3) detection volume at room temperature with an un-collimated Cs-137 source. The average (mu tau)(e) of both detectors were measured to be >10(-2) cm(2)/V. The detection efficiency of the two detectors was evaluated at several different energies up to 1.3 MeV by comparing with simulated data. It was found that the total counts agree well between the measured data and the simulated data over the studied energy range. However, the measured photopeak counts were 10-15% lower than simulated photopeak counts at high gamma-ray energies. The analysis shows that the loss of photopeak efficiency is likely due to the charge loss from peripheral pixels to the boundary of detectors.

AB This paper describes the plasma-assisted combustion system intended to generate a torch flame with a high power density per unit area. In the system, a kind of hybrid concept is proposed. A primary unit for combustion sustaining is a low-current nonsteady-state plasmatron with a low level of electric power. The plasmatron activates an air/hydrocarbon mixture and sustains the oxidation processes in the plasma torch. In turn, the heat power of the torch sustains the main burning process in the torch flame. The results of experiments on propane oxidation in the plasma torch of plasmatron in a wide range of equivalence ratio are presented. As applied to the combustion system design, the plasma torch can provide both the complete and the partial propane oxidation with syngas generation.

AB A measurement system has been designed and built for the specific application of measuring the effective thermal conductivity of a composite, nuclear-fuel compact (small cylinder) over a temperature range of 100 A degrees C to 800 A degrees C. Because of the composite nature of the sample as well as the need to measure samples pre- and post-irradiation, measurement must be performed on the whole compact non-destructively. No existing measurement system is capable of obtaining its thermal conductivity in a non-destructive manner. The designed apparatus is an adaptation of the guarded-comparative-longitudinal heat flow technique. The system uniquely demonstrates the use of a radiative heat sink to provide cooling which greatly simplifies the design and setup of such high-temperature systems. The design was aimed to measure thermal-conductivity values covering the expected range of effective thermal conductivity of the composite nuclear fuel from 10 W . m(-1) . K-1 to 70 W . m(-1) . K-1. Several materials having thermal conductivities covering this expected range have been measured for system validation, and results are presented. A comparison of the results has been made to data from existing literature. Additionally, an uncertainty analysis is presented finding an overall uncertainty in sample thermal conductivity to be 6 %, matching well with the results of the validation samples.

AB Lipid bilayers are simulated using flexible simulation cells in order to allow for relaxations in area per lipid as bilayer content and temperature are varied. We develop a suite of Monte Carlo (MC) moves designed to generate constant surface tension gamma and constant pressure P and find that the NPT partition function proposed by Attard [J. Chem. Phys. 1995, 103, 9884-9885] leads to an NP gamma T partition function with a form invariant to choice of independent shape variables. We then compare this suite of MC moves to NP gamma T MC moves previously employed in our group as well as a pair of MC moves designed to replicate the NP parallel to P perpendicular to T "ensemble" often used in molecular dynamics simulations to yield zero surface tension and constant pressure. A detailed analysis of shape fluctuations in a small bilayer system reveals that the two latter MC move sets are different from one another as well as from our new suite of MC moves, as justified by careful analysis of the partition functions. However, the study of a larger bilayer system reveals that, for practical purposes for this system, all six MC move sets are comparable to one another.

AB A novel algorithm for implementing a general type of multireference coupled-cluster (MRCC) theory based on the Jeziorski-Monkhorst exponential ansatz [Jeziorski, B.; Monkhorst, H. J. Phys. Rev. A 1981, 24, 1668] is introduced. The proposed algorithm utilizes processor groups to calculate the equations for the MRCC amplitudes. In the basic formulation, each processor group constructs the equations related to a specific subset of references. By flexible choice of processor groups and subset of reference-specific sufficiency conditions designated to a given group, one can ensure optimum utilization of available computing resources. The performance of this algorithm is illustrated on the examples of the Brillouin-Wigner and Mukherjee MRCC methods with singles and doubles (BW-MRCCSD and Mk-MRCCSD). A significant improvement in scalability and in reduction of time to solution is reported with respect to recently reported parallel implementation of the BW-MRCCSD formalism [Brabec, J.; van Dam, H. J. J.; Kowalski, K.; Pittner, J. Chem. Phys. Lett. 2011, 514, 347].

However, to date no systematic comparison between carbohydrate force fields has been conducted for this important system. To that end, we present a molecular dynamics simulation study of hydrated, 36-chain cellulose I beta microfibrils at room temperature with three carbohydrate force fields (CHARMM35, GLYCAM06, and Gromos 45a4) up to the near-microsecond time scale. Our results indicate that each of these simulated microfibrils diverge from the cellulose 1 beta crystal structure to varying degrees under the conditions tested. The CHARMM35 and GLYCAM06 force fields eventually result in structures similar to those observed at 500 K with the same force fields, which are consistent with the experimentally observed high-temperature behavior of cellulose I. The third force field, Gromos 45a4, produces behavior significantly different from experiment, from the other two force fields, and from previously reported simulations with this force field using shorter simulation times and constrained periodic boundary conditions. For the GLYCAM06 force field, initial hydrogen-bond conformations and choice of electrostatic scaling factors significantly affect the rate of structural divergence. Our results suggest dramatically different time scales for convergence of properties of interest, which is important in the design of computational studies and comparisons to experimental data. This study highlights that further experimental and theoretical work is required to understand the structure of small diameter cellulose microfibrils typical of plant cellulose.

AB Soil vapor extraction (SVE) is typically effective for removal of volatile contaminants from higher-permeability portions of the vadose zone. However, contamination in lower-permeability zones can persist due to mass transfer processes that limit the removal effectiveness. After SW has been operated for a period of time and the remaining contamination is primarily located in lower-permeability zones, the remedy performance needs to be evaluated to determine whether the SVE system should be optimized, terminated, or transitioned to another technology to replace or augment SW. Numerical modeling of vapor-phase contaminant transport was used to investigate the correlation between measured vapor-phase mass discharge. MFr, from a persistent, vadose-zone contaminant source and the resulting groundwater contaminant concentrations. This relationship was shown to be linear, and was used to directly assess SW remediation progress over time and to determine the level of remediation in the vadose zone necessary to protect groundwater. Although site properties and source characteristics must be specified to establish a unique relation between MFr, and the groundwater contaminant concentration, this correlation provides insight into SW performance and support for decisions to optimize or terminate the SVE operation or to transition to another type of treatment.

ID X-RAY-DIFFRACTION; FULL-PROFILE ANALYSIS; DELTA-K; STRAIN; FIELDS
AB Synchrotron-based, high-energy X-ray diffraction measurements are used to study the local strain fields underlying the transient fatigue crack growth rate retardation produced by a single overload cycle known as the overload effect. Specifically, 4140 steel compact tension specimens fatigued for varying levels of crack growth after an overload cycle have been studied with in-situ diffraction under varying external loads. The load responses of the strain at the overload-position, versus at the crack tip, are focused upon in detail. The large compressive residual strain at the overload-point is observed to remain essentially unchanged even after the overload-point is left in the wake of the propagating crack tip. The differential strain-load response at the crack-tip/overload position before and immediately after the overload is seen to be unchanged. Once the overload point is behind the crack tip, a highly nonlinear behavior is observed in which the load response of the strain field transfers from the overload -point to the crack tip when the load exceeds a critical value. The results are discussed in terms of plasticity-induced crack face contact at the overload point as an important local mechanism contributing to the "overload effect" in this specific system.

AB High-energy X-ray diffraction was employed to study the structural characteristics of a set of C-S-H samples with 0.6 <= C/S <= 1.75. It has been observed that Si is tetrahedrally coordinated to O for all samples irrespective of chemical composition and the Ca-O coordination number gradually decreases from similar to 7 to similar to 6 with increasing C/S ratio. This suggests that the C-S-H structure evolves from a tobermorite-like structure into a jennite-like structure as a function of increasing C/S ratio as the interlayer space decreases from similar to 1.3 to similar to 1 nm. Evolution of these short-and medium-range order structural characteristics in the C-S-H system is associated with the alteration of the Ca-O layers and silicate depolymerization with increasing C/S.

ID IN2O3-SNO2 SYSTEM; INTERMEDIATE COMPOUND; SNO2
AB A novel approach to determine the thermodynamic solubility of tin in indium oxide via the exsolution from tin overdoped nano-ITO powders is presented. High-energy, in situ and ex situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction was utilized to study the solubility limit at temperatures ranging from 900 degrees C to 1375 degrees C. The tin exsolution from overdoped nanopowders and the formation of In4Sn3O12 were observed in situ during the first 4-48 h of high-temperature treatment. Samples annealed between 900 degrees C and 1175 degrees C were also studied ex situ with heat treatments for up to 2060 h. Structural results obtained from Rietveld analysis include compositional phase analysis, atomic positions, and lattice parameters. The tin solubility in In2O3 was determined using the phase analysis compositions from X-ray diffraction and the elemental compositions obtained from X-ray fluorescence. Experimental complications that can lead to incorrect tin solubility values in the literature are discussed.

AB Using a many-body theory, we discuss some fundamental issues of femtomagnetism in magnetic electronic systems. We address the question of how spin may couple to transient optical coherence during time scales shorter than the photoexcitation duration and the characteristic times of interaction with the lattice. We also discuss the role of the competition between magnetic exchange and spin-orbit interactions in the nonthermal temporal evolution regime. Using density matrix equations of motion, we predict a femtosecond collective spin tilt leading to nonthermal magnetization modulation and all-optical ultrafast switching between different metastable magnetic states of (Ga,Mn)As ferromagnets. This spin dynamics is triggered by carrier coherences and by nonthermal populations photoexcited along the {111} equivalent directions of the Brillouin zone, which can be controlled by tuning the laser frequency/intensity and by using a small magnetic field. We present femtosecond magneto-optical spectroscopy experimental results that agree with our predictions. Our results indicate the possibility of reading the (Ga,Mn)As magnetic memory at THz speeds limited only by the pulse duration. (C) 2012 Optical Society of America

AB The effect of variation of composition on the structural, morphological, magnetic and electric properties of Mg1-xNixCrxFe2-xO4 (x = 0.0-0.5) nanocrystallites is presented. The samples were prepared by novel polyethylene glycol (PEG) assisted microemulsion method with average crystallite size of 15-47 nm. The microstructure, chemical, and phase analyses of the samples were studied by the scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (ED-XRF), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Compositional variation greatly affected the magnetic and structural properties. The high-field regimes of the magnetic loops are modelled using the Law of Approach (LOA) to saturation in order to extract information about their anisotropy and the saturation magnetization. Thermal demagnetization measurements are carried out using VSM and significant enhancement of the Curie temperature from 681 K to 832 K has been achieved by substitution of different contents of Ni-Cr. The dc-electrical resistivity (p(RT)) at potential operational range around 300 K is increased from 7.5 x 10(8) to 4.85 x 10(9) Omega cm with the increase in Ni-Cr contents. Moreover, the results of the present study provide sufficient evidence to show that the electric and magnetic properties of Mg-ferrite have been improved significantly by substituting low contents of Ni-Cr.

AB New materials are being considered for fuel, cladding and structures in next generation and existing nuclear reactors. These materials can undergo significant dimensional and physical changes during high temperature irradiations. Currently, such changes are determined by repeatedly irradiating a specimen for a specified period of time in the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) and then removing it from the reactor for evaluation. The labor and time to remove, examine and return irradiated samples for each measurement make this approach very expensive. In addition, such techniques provide limited data and may disturb the phenomena of interest. To resolve these issues, an instrumented creep testing capability is being developed for specimens irradiated under pressurized water reactor coolant conditions in the ATR at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL). This paper reports the status of INL efforts to develop this testing capability. In addition to providing an overview of in-pile creep test capabilities available at other test reactors, this paper focuses on efforts to design and evaluate a prototype test rig in an autoclave at INL's High Temperature Test Laboratory.

AB Septins are conserved GTP-binding proteins involved in membrane compartmentalization and remodeling. In budding yeast, five mitotic septins localize at the bud neck, where the plasma membrane is enriched in phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns4,5P(2)). We previously established the subunit organization within purified yeast septin complexes and how these hetero-octamers polymerize into filaments in solution and on PtdIns4,5P(2)-containing lipid monolayers. How septin ultrastructure in vitro relates to the septin-containing filaments observed at the neck in fixed cells by thin-section electron microscopy was unclear. A morphological description of these filaments in the crowded space of the cell is challenging, given their small cross section. To examine septin organization in situ, sections of dividing yeast cells were analyzed by electron tomography of freeze-substituted cells, as well as by cryo-electron tomography. We found networks of filaments both perpendicular and parallel to the mother-bud axis that resemble septin arrays on lipid monolayers, displaying a repeat pattern that mirrors the molecular dimensions of the corresponding septin preparations in vitro. Thus these in situ structures most likely represent septin filaments. In viable mutants lacking a single septin, in situ filaments are still present, although more disordered, consistent with other evidence that the in vivo function of septins requires filament formation.

TI Photoluminescence imaging of electronic-impurity-induced exciton
quenching in single-walled carbon nanotubes
SO NATURE NANOTECHNOLOGY

DT Article
ID QUANTUM DOTS; FLUORESCENCE; SPECTRA; SPECTROSCOPY; TRANSPORT
AB The electronic properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes can be altered by surface adsorption of electronic impurities or dopants. However, fully understanding the influence of these impurities is difficult because of the inherent complexity of the solution-based colloidal chemistry of nanotubes, and because of a lack of techniques for directly imaging dynamic processes involving these impurities. Here, we show that photoluminescence microscopy can be used to image exciton quenching in semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes during the early stages of chemical doping with two different species. The addition of AuCl3 leads to localized exciton-quenching sites, which are attributed to a mid-gap electronic impurity level, and the adsorbed species are also found sometimes to be mobile on the surface of the nanotubes. The addition of H2O2 leads to delocalized exciton-quenching hole states, which are responsible for long-range photoluminescence blinking, and are also mobile.

TI Focusing of short-pulse high-intensity laser-accelerated proton beams

ID FAST IGNITION; ION-BEAMS; ELECTRON; DRIVEN; PLASMA
AB Recent progress in generating high-energy (>50 MeV) protons from intense laser-matter interactions (10(18)-10(21) W cm(-2); refs 1-7) has opened up new areas of research, with applications in radiography(8), oncology(9), astrophysics(10), medical imaging(11), high-energy-density physics(12-14), and ion-proton beam fast ignition(15-19). With the discovery of proton focusing with curved surfaces(20,21), rapid advances in these areas will be driven by improved focusing technologies. Here we report on the first investigation of the generation and focusing of a proton beam using a cone-shaped target. We clearly show that the focusing is strongly affected by the electric fields in the beam in both open and enclosed (cone) geometries, bending the trajectories near the axis. Also in the cone geometry, a sheath electric field effectively 'channels' the proton beam through the cone tip, substantially improving the beam focusing properties. These results agree well with particle simulations and provide the physics basis for many future applications.

AB Controlling the flow of electrons by manipulating their spin is a key to the development of spin-based electronics. Recent demonstrations of electrical-gate control in spin-transistor configurations have shown great promise, but operation at room temperature remains elusive. Further progress requires a deeper understanding of the propagation of spin polarization, particularly in the high-mobility semiconductors used for devices. Here we report the application of Doppler velocimetry to resolve the motion of spin-polarized electrons in GaAs quantum wells driven by a drifting Fermi sea. We find that the spin mobility tracks the high electron mobility precisely as a function of temperature. However, we also observe that the coherent precession of spins driven by spin-orbit interaction, which is essential for the operation of a broad class of spin logic devices, breaks down at temperatures above 150 K, for reasons that are not yet understood theoretically.

AB We elaborate how to construct interweaving chiral spirals in (2 + 1) dimensions, defined as a superposition of chiral spirals oriented in different directions. We divide a two-dimensional Fermi sea into distinct wedges, characterized by the opening angle 2 Theta and depth Q similar or equal to p(F), where p(F) is the Fermi momentum. In each wedge, the energy is lowered by forming a single chiral spiral. The optimal values for Theta and Q are chosen by balancing this gain in energy versus the cost of deforming the Fermi surface (which dominates at large Theta) and patch-patch interactions (dominant at small Theta). Using a non-local four-Fermi interaction model, we estimate the gain and cost in energy by expanding in terms of 1/N-c (where N-c is the number of colors), Lambda(QCD)/Q, and Theta. Due to a form factor in our non-local model, at small 1/N-c the mass gap (chiral condensate) is large, and the interaction among quarks and the condensate local in momentum space. Consequently, interactions between different patches are localized near their boundaries, and it is simple to embed many chiral spirals. We identify the dominant and subdominant terms at high density and categorize formulate an expansion in terms of Lambda(QCD)/Q or Theta. The kinetic term in the transverse directions is sub-dominant, so that techniques from (1 + 1)-dimensional systems can be utilized. To leading order in 1/N-c and Lambda(QCD)/Q, the total gain in energy is similar to p(F)Lambda(2)(QCD) with Theta similar to (Lambda(QCD)/p(F))(3/5). Since Theta decreases with increasing p(F), there should be phase transitions associated with the change in the wedge number. We also argue the effects of subdominant terms at lower density where the large-N-c approximation is more reliable. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB In this work, we investigate the issue of providing a statistical model for the response of a computer model-described nuclear engineering system, for use in uncertainty propagation. The motivation behind our approach is the need for providing an uncertainty assessment even in the circumstances where only a few samples are available. Building on our recent work in using a regression approach with derivative information for approximating the system response, we investigate the ability of a universal gradient-enhanced Kriging model to provide a means for inexpensive uncertainty quantification. The universal Kriging model can be viewed as a hybrid of polynomial regression and Gaussian process regression. For this model, the mean behavior of the surrogate is determined by a polynomial regression, and deviations from this mean are represented as a Gaussian process. Tests with explicit functions and nuclear engineering models show that the universal gradient-enhanced Kriging model provides a more accurate surrogate model than either regression or ordinary Kriging models. In addition, we investigate the ability of the Kriging model to provide error predictions and bounds for regression models.

AB We present a search for the production of neutral Higgs bosons decaying into tau(+)tau(-) pairs in p (p) over bar collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV. The data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 fb(-1), were collected by the DO experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. We set upper limits at the 95% C.L. on the product of production cross section and branching ratio for a scalar resonance decaying into tau(+)tau(-) pairs, and we interpret these limits as limits on the production of Higgs bosons in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) and as constraints in the MSSM parameter space.

AB This Letter describes the measurement of elliptic flow of charged particles in lead-lead collisions at root s(NN) = 2.76 TeV using the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The results are based on an integrated luminosity of approximately 7 mu b(-1). Elliptic flow is measured over a wide region in pseudorapidity, vertical bar eta vertical bar < 2.5, and over a broad range in transverse momentum, 0.5 < p(T) < 20 GeV. The elliptic flow parameter nu(2) is obtained by correlating individual tracks with the event plane measured using energy deposited in the forward calorimeters. As a function of transverse momentum, nu(2)(p(T)) reaches a maximum at p(T) of about 3 GeV. then decreases and becomes weakly dependent on p(T) above 7-8 GeV. Over the measured pseudorapidity region, nu(2) is found to be only weakly dependent on eta, with less variation than observed at lower beam energies. The results are discussed in the context of previous measurements at lower collision energies, as well as recent results from the LHC. (C) 2011 CERN. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

We demonstrate that TES can increase the energy and capacity value of CSP and also show that adding TES to a CSP plant can increase its economic viability by increasing its operating revenues to the point that the capital cost of CSP can be justified.

AB Hydrogen is ameans to chemically store energy. It can be used to buffer energy in a society increasingly relying on renewable but intermittent energy or as an energy vector for sustainable transportation. It is also attractive for its potential to power vehicles with (near-) zero tailpipe emissions. The use of hydrogen as an energy carrier for transport applications is mostly associated with fuel cells. However, hydrogen can also be used in an internal combustion engine (ICE). When converted to or designed for hydrogen operation, an ICE can attain high power output, high efficiency and ultra low emissions. Also, because of the possibility of bi-fuel operation, the hydrogen engine can act as an accelerator for building up a hydrogen infrastructure. The properties of hydrogen are quite different from the presently used hydrocarbon fuels, which is reflected in the design and operation of a hydrogen fueled ICE (H2ICE). These characteristics also result in more flexibility in engine control strategies and thus more routes for engine optimization. This article describes the most characteristic features of H2ICEs, the current state of H2ICE research and demonstration, and the future prospects.

AB A titania nanotube/single-wall carbon nanotube composite was prepared by a simple hydration dehydration process. These composites were characterized using X-ray diffraction and spectroscopic techniques (UV-visible diffuse reflectance, Raman, photoluminescence, and EPR) as well as electron microscopy (SEM, TEM). SEM and TEM images indicated that single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were interwoven with the titania nanotubes. Raman spectra further confirmed the chemical interaction between the titania nanotube and the SWCNT in the composites. The photoactivity of these composites was tested by the photooxidation of acetaldehyde. The composites showed enhanced photoactivity under both visible and UV light in comparison with conventional titania (P25) and controls. The composite having a mass ratio of 1:50 (SWCNT/TiNT) showed the maximum photocatalytic activity for acetaldehyde decay under visible light. XPS and EPR spectra indicated the creation of Ti-O-C bonds between the titania nanotube and the SWCNTs during the hydration dehydration process, which explains the visible light photoactivity.

AB In this paper, we present a study of a series of carbon-supported Pd-Sn binary alloyed catalysts prepared through a modified Polyol method as anode electrocatalysts for direct ethanol fuel cell reactions in an alkaline medium. Transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy equipped with electron energy loss spectroscopy were used to characterize the Pd-Sn/C catalysts, where homogeneous Pd-Sn alloys were determined to be present with the surface Sn being partially oxidized. Among various Pd-Sn catalysts, Pd86Sn14/C catalysts showed much enhanced current densities in cyclic voltammetric and chronoamperometric measurements, compared to commercial Pd/C (Johns,:on Matthey). The overall rate law of ethanol oxidation reaction for both Pd86Sn14/C and commercial Pd/C were also determined, which clearly showed that Pd86Sn14/C was more favorable in high ethanol concentration and/or high pH environment. Density functional theory calculations also confirmed Pd-Sn alloy structures would result in lower reaction energies for the dehydrogenation of ethanol, compared to the pure Pd crystal.

AB The room-temperature (RT) X-ray structure of H/D-exchanged crambin is reported at 0.85 angstrom resolution. As one of the very few proteins refined with anisotropic atomic displacement parameters at two temperatures, the dynamics of atoms in the RT and 100 K structures are compared. Neutron diffraction data from an H/D-exchanged crambin crystal collected at the Protein Crystallography Station (PCS) showed diffraction beyond 1.1 angstrom resolution. This is the highest resolution neutron diffraction reported to date for a protein crystal and will reveal important details of the anisotropic motions of H and D atoms in protein structures.

AB The crystal structure of the interleukin-2 tyrosine kinase Src homology domain (Itk SH2) is described and it is found that unlike in studies of this domain using NMR spectroscopy, cistrans-prolyl isomerization is not readily detected in the crystal structure. Based on similarities between the Itk SH2 crystal form and the cis form of the Itk SH2 NMR structure, it is concluded that it is likely that the prolyl imide bond at least in part adopts the cis conformation in the crystal form. However, the lack of high-resolution data and the dynamic nature of the proline-containing loop mean that the precise imide-bond conformation cannot be determined and prolyl cistrans isomerization in the crystal cannot be ruled out. Given the preponderance of structures that have been solved by X-ray crystallography in the Protein Data Bank, this result supports the notion that prolyl isomerization in folded proteins has been underestimated among known structures. Interestingly, while the precise status of the proline residue is ambiguous, Itk SH2 crystallizes as a domain-swapped dimer. The domain-swapped structure of Itk SH2 is similar to the domain-swapped SH2 domains of Grb2 and Nck, with domain swapping occurring at the similar to beta-meander region of all three SH2 domains. Thus, for Itk SH2 structural analysis by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography revealed very different structural features: proline isomerization versus domain-swapped dimerization, respectively.

AB The production of the PEL polysaccharide in Pseudomonas aeruginosa requires the binding of bis-(3',5')-cyclic dimeric guanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) to the cytoplasmic GGDEF domain of the inner membrane protein PelD. Here, the overexpression, purification and crystallization of a soluble construct of PelD that encompasses the GGDEF domain and a predicted GAF domain is reported. Diffraction-quality crystals were grown using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. The crystals grew as flat plates, with unit-cell parameters a similar to=similar to 88.3, b = 114.0, c = 61.9 angstrom, a = beta = ? = 90.0 degrees. The PelD crystals exhibited the symmetry of space group P21212 and diffracted to a minimum d-spacing of 2.2 angstrom. On the basis of the Matthews coefficient (VM = 2.29 angstrom 3 Da-1), it was estimated that two molecules are present in the asymmetric unit.

AB Tuning mechanical properties of and fluid flow through open-cell solid structures is a challenge for material science, in particular for the design of porous structures used as artificial bone scaffolds in tissue engineering. We present a method to tune the effective elastic properties of custom-designed open-cell solid foams and bone scaffold geometries by almost an order of magnitude while approximately preserving the pore space geometry and hence fluid transport properties. This strong response is achieved by a change of topology and node coordination of a network-like geometry underlying the scaffold design. Each node of a four-coordinated network is disconnected with probability p into two two-coordinated nodes, yielding network geometries that change continuously from foam- or network-like cellular structures to entangled fiber bundles. We demonstrate that increasing p leads to a strong, approximately exponential decay of mechanical stiffness while leaving the pore space geometry largely unchanged. This result is obtained by both voxel-based finite element methods and compression experiments on laser sintered models. The physical effects of randomizing network topology suggest a new design paradigm for solid foams, with adjustable mechanical properties.

AB The significance of conditioning predictions of environmental performance metrics (EPMs) on hydrogeological data in heterogeneous porous media is addressed. Conditioning EPMs on available data reduces uncertainty and increases the reliability of model predictions. We present a rational and concise approach to investigate the impact of conditioning EPMs on data as a function of the location of the environmentally sensitive target receptor, data types and spacing between measurements. We illustrate how the concept of comparative information yield curves introduced in de Barros et al. [de Barros FPJ, Rubin Y, Maxwell R. The concept of comparative information yield curves and its application to risk-based site characterization. Water Resour Res 2009;45:W06401. doi:10.1029/2008WR007324] could be used to assess site characterization needs as a function of flow and transport dimensionality and EPMs. For a given EPM, we show how alternative uncertainty reduction metrics yield distinct gains of information from a variety of sampling schemes. Our results show that uncertainty reduction is EPM dependent (e.g., travel times) and does not necessarily indicate uncertainty reduction in an alternative EPM (e.g., human health risk). The results show how the position of the environmental target, flow dimensionality and the choice of the uncertainty reduction metric can be used to assist in field sampling campaigns.

AB The following describes a proposed approach to account for the equifinality of solutions that result from comparing observations to flow simulations when using realizations of geostatistical models. We introduce hydrogeological acceptance probability to estimate the propensity of a geostatistical model to produce acceptable realizations with respect to the consistency of their simulations with observations. The estimation of hydrogeological acceptance probability is equivalent to the calculation of the sample mean of a Bernoulli distribution. This allows the estimation of the acceptance probability to be preemptively terminated based on the current estimate and subject to the desired confidence level and interval length. We propose a composite uncertainty analysis of the hydrogeological heterogeneity utilizing acceptable realizations from multiple geostatistical models collected during the estimation of their acceptance probability. In the case of a non-fuzzy definition of realization acceptance, this produces a facies probability map. If the definition of realization acceptance is imprecise, the analysis yields upper and lower bounds on the facies probability map in the form of fades plausibility and belief maps, respectively. These maps can provide indications of the information content of the data and provide guidance for the collection of additional data. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB Laser desorption/ionization (LDI) mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) was used to acquire chemical images of flavonoid metabolites on the surface of wild-type and mutant (tt7) Arabidopsis thaliana flowers. Flavonoids were localized to the petals and carpels of flowers, with tissue heterogeneity in the petals. Specifically, kaempferol and/or its glycosides were abundant in the distal region of petals and quercetin and its downstream flavonoids were highly enriched in the more proximal region of petals. As a result of a mutation in the TT7 gene which blocks the conversion of dihydrokaempferol to dihydroquercetin, the downstream metabolites, quercetin, isohamnetin, and their glycosides, were not observed in the mutant flowers. Instead, the metabolites in an alternative pathway, kaempferol and/or its glycosides, were as highly abundant on the proximal region of the petals as in the distal region. In addition, the combined flavonoid amounts on the proximal region of petals in the wild-type are almost equivalent to the amounts of kaempferol and/or its glycosides in the mutant. This strongly suggests that the expression of the TT7 gene is localized on the proximal part of the petal while the other genes in the upper stream pathway are evenly expressed throughout the petal. Most importantly, this work demonstrates MSI of metabolites can be utilized for the localization of gene expression.

AB A quantitative analytical method to determine butyramide and acetamide concentrations at the low ppb levels in geothermal waters has been developed. The analytes are concentrated in a preparation step by evaporation and analyzed using HPLC-UV. Chromatographic separation is achieved isocratically with a RP C-18 column using a 30 mM phosphate buffer solution with 5 mM heptane sulfonic acid and methanol (98 : 2 ratio) as the mobile phase. Absorbance is measured at 200 nm. The limit of detection (LOD) for BA and AA were 2.0 mu g L-1 and 2.5 mu g L--1,L- respectively. The limit of quantification (LOQ) for BA and AA were 5.7 mu g L-1 and 7.7 mu g L-1, respectively, at the detection wavelength of 200 nm. Attaining these levels of quantification better allows these amides to be used as thermally reactive tracers in low-temperature hydrogeothermal systems.

TI Denitrifying Bacteria from the Genus Rhodanobacter Dominate Bacterial

AB The effect of long-term mixed-waste contamination, particularly uranium and nitrate, on the microbial community in the terrestrial subsurface was investigated at the field scale at the Oak Ridge Integrated Field Research Challenge (ORIFRC) site in Oak Ridge, TN. The abundance, community composition, and distribution of groundwater microorganisms were examined across the site during two seasonal sampling events. At representative locations, subsurface sediment was also examined from two boreholes, one sampled from the most heavily contaminated area of the site and another from an area with low contamination. A suite of DNA- and RNA-based molecular tools were employed for community characterization, including quantitative PCR of rRNA and nitrite reductase genes, community composition fingerprinting analysis, and high-throughput pyrotag sequencing of rRNA genes. The results demonstrate that pH is a major driver of the subsurface microbial community structure and that denitrifying bacteria from the genus Rhodanobacter (class Gammaproteobacteria) dominate at low pH. The relative abundance of bacteria from this genus was positively correlated with lower-pH conditions, and these bacteria were abundant and active in the most highly contaminated areas. Other factors, such as the concentration of nitrogen species, oxygen level, and sampling season, did not appear to strongly influence the distribution of Rhodanobacter bacteria. The results indicate that these organisms are acid-tolerant denitrifiers, well suited to the acidic, nitrate-rich subsurface conditions, and pH is confirmed as a dominant driver of bacterial community structure in this contaminated subsurface environment.

AB Crp/Fnr-type global transcriptional regulators regulate various metabolic pathways in bacteria and typically function in response to environmental changes. However, little is known about the function of four annotated Crp/Fnr homologs (DVU0379, DVU2097, DVU2547, and DVU3111) in Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough. A systematic study using bioinformatic, transcriptomic, genetic, and physiological approaches was conducted to characterize their roles in stress responses. Similar growth phenotypes were observed for the crp/fnr deletion mutants under multiple stress conditions. Nevertheless, the idea of distinct functions of Crp/Fnr-type regulators in stress responses was supported by phylogeny, gene transcription changes, fitness changes, and physiological differences. The four D. vulgaris Crp/Fnr homologs are localized in three subfamilies (HcpR, CooA, and cc). The crp/fnr knockout mutants were well separated by transcriptional profiling using detrended correspondence analysis (DCA), and more genes significantly changed in expression in a Delta DVU3111 mutant (JW9013) than in the other three paralogs. In fitness studies, strain fW9013 showed the lowest fitness under standard growth conditions (i.e., sulfate reduction) and the highest fitness under NaCl or chromate stress conditions; better fitness was observed for a Delta DVU2547 mutant (JW9011) under nitrite stress conditions and a Delta DVU2097 mutant (JW9009) under air stress conditions. A higher Cr(VI) reduction rate was observed for strain JW9013 in experiments with washed cells. These results suggested that the four Crp/Fnr-type global regulators play distinct roles in stress responses of D. vulgaris. DVU3111 is implicated in responses to NaCl and chromate stresses, DVU2547 in nitrite stress responses, and DVU2097 in air stress responses.

Compared with their neutral counterparts, these PLL-grafted,hydrogels greatly enhance pheochromocytoma (PC12) cell survival in encapsulation, :proliferation, and neurite growth and also promote neural progenitor cell proliferation and differentiation capacity, represented by percentages of both differentiated neurons and astrocytes. The role of efficiently controlled substrate stiffness in regulating nerve cell behavior is also investigated and a polymerizable cationic small molecule, [2-(methacryloyloxy)ethly]-trimethylammonium chloride (MTAC), is used to compare with this newly developed PLL. The results indicate that these PLL-grafted hydrogels are promising biomaterials for nerve repair and regeneration.

AB We present a method of tuning surface chemistry and nerve cell behavior, by photo-cross-linking methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) monoacrylate (mPEGA) with hydrophobic, semicrystalline poly(epsilon-caprolactone) diacrylate (PCLDA) at various weight compositions of mPEGA (phi(m)) from 2 to 30%. Improved surface wettability is achieved with corresponding decreases in friction, water contact angle, and capability of adsorbing proteins from cell culture media because of repulsive PEG chains tethered in the network. The responses of rat Schwann cell precursor line (SpL201), rat pheochromocytoma (PC12), and E14 mouse neural progenitor cells (NPCs) to the modified surfaces are evaluated. Nonmonotonic or parabolic dependence of cell attachment, spreading, proliferation, and differentiation on phi(m) is identified for these cell types with maximal values at phi(m) of 5-7%. In addition, NPCs demonstrate enhanced neuronal differentiated lineages on the mPEGA/PCLDA network at phi(m) of 5% with intermediate wettability and surface energy. This approach lays the foundation for fabricating heterogeneous nerve conduits with a compositional gradient along the wall thickness, which are able to promote nerve cell functions within the conduit while inhibiting cell attachment on the outer wall to prevent potential fibrous tissue formation following implantation.

AB Bulk gold powder (similar to 50 mu m) catalyzes the oxidative dehydrogenation of amines to give imines using amine N-oxides (R3N-O) as the oxidant. The reaction of dibenzylamine (PhCH2-NH-CH2Ph) with N-methylmorpholine N-oxide (NMMO) in the presence of gold powder at 60 A degrees C produced N-benzylidenebenzylamine (PhCH=N-CH2Ph) in 96% yield within 24 h. Benzyl alcohol was oxidized by NMMO to benzaldehyde in > 60% yield in the presence of gold powder. Although O-2 was previously shown to oxidize amines in the presence of bulk gold, it is surprising that gold is also capable of catalyzing the oxidation of amines using amine oxides, which are chemically so different from O-2.

AB Aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy at the sub-ngstrom resolution allows imaging the structure of catalytic materials at the single atom level and permits fundamental studies of the behavior of heavy metal catalytic species as a result of elevated temperature gas-treatments. The present study is aimed at understanding the development of clusters and nanoparticles of Pt on gamma-alumina during reduction treatments of a pre-oxidized highly dispersed catalyst. A special built ex situ reactor and a specimen holder allowing cyclic anaerobic transfer between the reactor and microscope were used for the study. The number of atoms in a nascent cluster can be determined along with the general shape of the cluster. Reduction experiments without air exposure of the sample showed that although clusters are formed at 500 A degrees C, many Pt atoms are not associated with the cluster and are still dispersed on the catalyst support. After a 700 A degrees C reduction, all of the Pt atoms are associated with the clusters. Movement of the clusters on the catalyst support is different depending upon the catalyst support.

After a 700 A degrees C reduction, all of the Pt atoms are associated with the clusters. Movement of the clusters on the catalyst support is different depending upon the catalyst support.

AB Phenolic ionic liquids for the efficient and reversible capture of CO2 were designed and prepared from phosphonium hydroxide and substituted phenols. The electron-withdrawing or electron-donating ability, position, and number of the substituents on the anion of these ionic liquids were correlated with the physicochemical properties of the ionic liquids. The results show that the stability, viscosity, and CO2-capturing ability of these ionic liquids were significantly affected by the substituents. Furthermore, the relationship between the decomposition temperature, the CO2-absorption capacity, and the basicity of these ionic liquids was quantitatively correlated and further rationalized by theoretical calculation. Indeed, these ionic liquids showed good stability, high absorption capacity, and low absorption enthalpy for CO2 capture. This method, which tunes the physicochemical properties by making use of substituent effects in the anion of the ionic liquid, is important for the design of highly efficient and reversible methods for CO2-capture. This CO2 capture process using diverse phenolic ionic liquids is a promising potential method for CO2 absorption with both high absorption capacity and good reversibility.

TI SST: A Scalable Parallel Framework for Architecture-Level Performance,

SO COMPUTER JOURNAL

DT Article
DE NoC; simulation framework; performance modeling; power consumption
AB In this paper, we describe the integrated power, area and thermal modeling framework in the structural simulation toolkit (SST) for large-scale high performance computer simulation. It integrates various power and thermal modeling tools and computes run-time energy dissipation for core, network on chip, memory controller and shared cache. It also provides functionality to update the leakage power as temperature changes. We illustrate the utilization of the framework by applying it to explore interconnect options in manycore systems with consideration of temperature variation and leakage feedback. We compare power, energy-delay-area product (EDAP) and energy-delay product (EDP) of four manycore configurations-1 core, 2 cores, 4 cores and 8 cores per cluster. Results from simulation with or without consideration of temperature variation both show that the 4-core per cluster configuration has the best EDAP and EDP. Even so, considering that temperature variation increases total power dissipation, we demonstrate the importance of considering temperature variation in the design flow. With this power, area and thermal modeling capability, the SST can be used for hardware/software co-design of future exascale systems.

TI Memory Trace Compression and Replay for SPMD Systems Using Extended
PRSDs
SO COMPUTER JOURNAL
LA English
DT Article
ID CODE
AB Concurrency levels in large-scale supercomputers are rising exponentially, and shared-memory nodes with hundreds of cores and non-uniform memory access latencies are expected within the next decade. However, even current petascale systems with tens of cores per node suffer from memory bottlenecks. As core counts increase, memory issues will become critical for the performance of large-scale supercomputers. Trace analysis tools are thus vital for diagnosing the root causes of memory problems. However, existing memory tracing tools are expensive due to prohibitively large trace sizes, or they collect only statistical summaries and omit potentially valuable information. In this paper, we present ScalaMemTrace, a novel technique for collecting memory traces in a scalable manner. ScalaMemTrace builds on prior trace methods with aggressive compression techniques to allow lossless representation of memory traces for dense algebraic kernels, with near-constant trace size irrespective of the problem size or the number of threads. We further introduce a replay mechanism for ScalaMemTrace traces, and discuss the results of our prototype implementation on the x86_64 architecture.

AB BACKGROUND: Indoor air pollutants (IAPs) cause multiple health impacts. Prioritizing mitigation options that differentially affect individual pollutants and comparing IAPs with other environmental health hazards require a common metric of harm.
OBJECTIVES: Our objective was to demonstrate a methodology to quantify and compare health impacts from IAPs. The methodology is needed to assess population health impacts of large-scale initiatives-including energy efficiency upgrades and ventilation standards-that affect indoor air quality (IAQ).
METHODS: Available disease incidence and disease impact models for specific pollutant disease combinations were synthesized with data on measured concentrations to estimate the chronic heath impact, in disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) lost, due to inhalation of a subset of IAPs in U.S. residences. Model results were compared with independent estimates of DALYs lost due to disease.
RESULTS: Particulate matter <= 2.5 mu m in aerodynamic diameter (PM2.5), acrolein, and formaldehyde accounted for the vast majority of DALY losses caused by IAPs considered in this analysis, with impacts on par or greater than estimates for secondhand tobacco smoke and radon. Confidence intervals of DALYs lost derived from epidemiology-based response functions are tighter than those derived from toxicology-based, interspecies extrapolations. Statistics on disease incidence in the United States indicate that the upper-bound confidence interval for aggregate TAP harm is implausibly high.
CONCLUSIONS: The approach demonstrated in this study may be used to assess regional and national initiatives that affect IAQ at the population level. Cumulative health impacts from inhalation in U.S. residences of the IAPs assessed in this study are estimated at 400-1,100 DALYs lost annually per 100,000 persons.

AB BACKGROUND: Benzene is an industrial chemical that causes blood disorders, including acute myeloid leukemia. We previously reported that occupational exposures near the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration permissible exposure limit (8 hr) of 1 ppm was associated with sperm aneuploidy.
OBJECTIVE: We investigated whether occupational exposures near 1 ppm increase the incidence of sperm carrying structural chromosomal aberrations.
METHODS: We applied a sperm fluorescence in situ hybridization assay to measure frequencies of sperm carrying partial chromosomal duplications or deletions of 1cen or 1p36.3 or breaks within 1cen-1q12 among 30 benzene-exposed and 11 unexposed workers in Tianjin, China, as part of the China Benzene and Sperm Study (C-BASS). Exposed workers were categorized into low-, moderate-, and high-exposure groups based on urinary benzene (medians: 2.9, 11.0, and 110.6 mu g/L, respectively). Median air benzene concentrations in the three exposure groups were 1.2, 3.7, and 8.4 ppm, respectively.
RESULTS: Adjusted incidence rate ratios (IRRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for all structural aberrations combined were 1.42 (95% CI: 1.10, 1.83), 1.44 (95% CI: 1.12, 1.85), and 1.75 (95% CI: 1.36, 2.24) and for deletion of 1p36.3 alone were 4.31 (95% CI: 1.18, 15.78), 6.02 (95% CI: 1.69, 21.39), and 7.88 (95% CI: 2.21, 28.05) for men with low, moderate, and high exposure, respectively, compared with unexposed men. Chromosome breaks were significantly increased in the high-exposure group [IRR 1.49 (95% CI: 1.10, 2.02)].
CONCLUSIONS: Occupational exposures to benzene were associated with increased incidence of chromosomally defective sperm, raising concerns for worker infertility and spontaneous abortions as well as mental retardation and inherited defects in their children. Our sperm findings point to benzene as a possible risk factor fords novo 1p36 deletion syndrome. Because chromosomal aberrations in sperm can arise from defective stem cells/spermatogonia, our findings raise concerns that occupational exposure to benzene may have persistent reproductive effects in formerly exposed workers.

AB Synapses are the fundamental units of neural circuits that enable complex behaviors. The neuromuscular junction (NMJ), a synapse formed between a motoneuron and a muscle fiber, has contributed greatly to understanding of the general principles of synaptogenesis as well as of neuromuscular disorders. NMJ formation requires neural agrin, a motoneuron-derived protein, which interacts with LRP4 (low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 4) to activate the receptor tyrosine kinase MuSK (muscle-specific kinase). However, little is known of how signals are transduced from agrin to MuSK. Here, we present the first crystal structure of an agrin-LRP4 complex, consisting of two agrin-LRP4 heterodimers. Formation of the initial binary complex requires the z8 loop that is specifically present in neuronal, but not muscle, agrin and that promotes the synergistic formation of the tetramer through two additional interfaces. We show that the tetrameric complex is essential for neuronal agrin-induced acetylcholine receptor (AChR) clustering. Collectively, these results provide new insight into the agrin-LRP4-MuSK signaling cascade and NMJ formation and represent a novel mechanism for activation of receptor tyrosine kinases.

AB Extended, high-resolution measurements of vertical air motion and median volume drop diameter D0 in widespread precipitation from three diverse Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Program (ARM) locations [Lamont, Oklahoma, Southern Great Plains site (SGP): Niamey, Niger; and Black Forest, Germany] are presented. The analysis indicates a weak (0-10 cm(-1)) downward air motion beneath the melting layer for all three regions, a magnitude that is to within the typical uncertainty of the retrieval methods. On average, the hourly estimated standard deviation of the vertical air motion is 0.25 m s(-1) with no pronounced vertical structure. Profiles of D0 vary according to region and rainfall rate. The standard deviation of 1-min-averaged D0 profiles for isolated rainfall rate intervals is 0.3-0.4 mm. Additional insights into the form of the raindrop size distribution are provided using available dual-frequency Doppler velocity observations at SGP. The analysis suggests that gamma functions better explain paired velocity observations and radar retrievals for the Oklahoma dataset. This study will be useful in assessing uncertainties introduced in the measurement of precipitation parameters from ground-based and spaceborne remote sensors that are due to small-scale variability.

AB Cyanobacteria, including members of the genus Prochlorococcus, contain icosahedral protein microcompartments known as carboxysomes that encapsulate multiple copies of the CO2-fixing enzyme ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RubisCO) in a thin protein shell that enhances the catalytic performance of the enzyme in part through the action of a shell-associated carbonic anhydrase. However, the exact mechanism by which compartmentation provides a catalytic advantage to the enzyme is not known. Complicating the study of cyanobacterial carboxysomes has been the inability to obtain homogeneous carboxysome preparations. This study describes the first successful purification and characterization of carboxysonaes from the marine cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus marinus MED4. Because the isolated P. marinus MED4 carboxysomes were free from contaminating membrane proteins, their protein complement could be assessed. In addition to the expected shell proteins, the CsoS1D protein that is not encoded by the canonical cso gene clusters of a-cyanobacteria was found to be a low-abundance shell component. This finding and supporting comparative genomic evidence have important implications for carboxysome composition, structure, and function. Our study indicates that carboxysome composition is probably more complex than was previously assumed based on the gene complements of the classical cso gene clusters.

AB The formation of graphene layers on MgO-supported Pt nanoparticles was studied by both in situ and ex situ high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The HRTEM images indicate that graphene sheets grow from steps in the surface of Pt nanoparticles. The subsequent morphology of the graphene sheets is a strong function of Pt particle size. For particles less than similar to 6 nm in diameter, the graphene sheets form nanotubes or move from the surface of Pt particles and accumulate on the MgO support. Complete particle envelopment by multiple graphene layers was only observed for particle greater than similar to 6 nm in diameter. The observed dependence of graphene morphology on Pt nanoparticle size and shape is associated with the strain energy generated between graphene layers during their growth and the overall free energy of the graphene-Pt system.

AB Kinetic, spectroscopic, and chemical titration data indicate that differences in monomolecular isobutane cracking and dehydrogenation and methanol dehydration turnover rates (per H+) among FAU zeolites treated thermally with steam (H-USY) and then chemically with ammonium hexafluorosilicate (CD-HUSY) predominantly reflect differences in the size and solvating properties of their supercage voids rather than differences in acid strength. The number of protons on a given sample was measured consistently by titrations with Na+, with CH3 groups via reactions of dimethyl ether, and with 2,6-di-tert-butylpyridine during methanol dehydration catalysis; these titration values were also supported by commensurate changes in acidic OH infrared band areas upon exposure to titrant molecules. The number of protons, taken as the average of the three titration methods, was significantly smaller than the number of framework Al atoms (Al-f) obtained from X-ray diffraction and Al-27 magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy on H-USY (0.35 H+/Al-f) and CD-HUSY (0.69 H+/Al-f). These data demonstrate that the ubiquitous use of Alf sites as structural proxies for active H+ sites in zeolites can be imprecise, apparently because distorted Al structures that are not associated with acidic protons are sometimes detected as Alf sites. Monomolecular isobutane cracking and dehydrogenation rate constants, normalized non-rigorously by the number of Alf species, decreased with increasing Na+ content on both H-USY and CD-HUSY samples and became undetectable at sub-stoichiometric exchange levels (0.32 and 0.72 Na+/Al-f ratios, respectively), an unexpected finding attributed incorrectly in previous studies to the presence of minority "super-acidic" sites. These rate constants, when normalized rigorously by the number of residual H+ sites were independent of Na+ content on both H-USY and CD-HUSY samples, reflecting the stoichiometric replacement of protons that are uniform in reactivity by Na+ cations. Monomolecular isobutane cracking and dehydrogenation rate constants (per H+; 763 K), however, were higher on H-USY than CD-HUSY (by a factor of 1.4). Equilibrium constants for the formation of protonated methanol dimers via adsorption of gaseous methanol onto adsorbed methanol monomers, determined from kinetic studies of methanol dehydration to dimethyl ether (433 K), were also higher on H-USY than CD-HUSY (by a factor of 2.1). These larger constants predominantly reflect stronger dispersive interactions in H-USY, consistent with its smaller supercage voids that result from the occlusion of void space by extraframework Al (Al-ex) residues. These findings appear to clarify enduring controversies about the mechanistic interpretation of the effects of Na+ and Al-ex species on the catalytic reactivity of FAU zeolites. They also illustrate the need to normalize rates by the number of active sites instead of more convenient but less accurate structural proxies for such sites. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc.

AB The promotional effect of alkali additives (Na, Li, and K) in the low-temperature (200-250 degrees C) water-gas shift reaction was studied for Pt/Al2O3 and Pt/TiO2 catalysts. Sodium showed the highest promotion of the turnover frequency (TOF), normalized by Pt on the surface. The TOF at 250 degrees C and 6.8% CO, 22% H2O, 37% H-2, and 8.5% CO2 was enhanced by Na up to 107 times (0.7 s(-1)) that of Pt/Al2O3 (7 x 10(-3) s(-1)) and up to four times (0.7 s(-1)) the TOF of Pt/P25 TiO2 (0.2 s(-1)). The addition of Na on Pt/Al2O3 and Pt/TiO2 changed the reaction orders, with H2O order increasing by similar to 0.3, H-2 order increasing by 0.1-0.3, CO2 order decreasing by 0.2, and CO order decreasing by 0.1-0.2. Together with an approximately 20 kJ mole(-1) increase in E-a, these data suggest Na creates the same type of active sites on both supports. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) experiments under WGS conditions indicate that the formation of Pt oxides is dependent on the catalyst preparation method, the type, and the loading of alkali. On catalysts where Pt oxides were observed, no correlation was found between the TOF and the fraction of PtO. The series of Pt/Na/Al2O3 catalysts with the highest TOF showed fully reduced Pt under WGS conditions. Our results show that the promotion by alkali is caused by the modification of the properties of the support and that the active Pt remains in the metallic state. Thus, for metallic catalysts, alkali is added to the growing list of promoters that modify the support to improve water activation and the WGS reaction rate. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc.

AB Alphaviruses, such as Sindbis virus, undergo dramatic changes in three-dimensional structure upon exposure to low pH, and such exposure can establish conditions allowing fusion of the virus membrane with a cell plasma membrane upon return to neutral pH. While exposure to low pH is not required for entry of Sindbis virus into vertebrate or invertebrate cells, the conformational changes occurring at low pH may mimic those occurring upon virus-receptor interaction. Here, we employed small-angle neutron scattering with contrast variation to probe how the structure of a mammalian-grown Sindbis virus responds to moderately acidic pH. Several changes took place throughout the virion structure when the pH decreased from 7.2 to 6.4. Specifically, the RNA in the virion core underwent a conformational change. Additionally, the protein was redistributed. A significant amount of protein moved from the layer containing the lipid bilayer to the exterior of the virion. The results improve our understanding of the pH-driven alteration of Sindbis virus structure.

AB The correspondence between seismic velocity anomalies in the crust and mantle and the differential incision of the continental-scale Colorado River system suggests that significant mantle-to-surface interactions can take place deep within continental interiors. The Colorado Rocky Mountain region exhibits low-seismic-velocity crust and mantle associated with atypically high (and rough) topography, steep normalized river segments, and areas of greatest differential river incision. Thermochronologic and geologic data show that regional exhumation accelerated starting ca. 6-10 Ma, especially in regions underlain by low-velocity mantle. Integration and synthesis of diverse geologic and geophysical data sets support the provocative hypothesis that Neogene mantle convection has driven long-wavelength surface deformation and tilting over the past 10 Ma. Attendant surface uplift on the order of 500-1000 m may account for similar to 25%-50% of the current elevation of the region, with the rest achieved during Laramide and mid-Tertiary uplift episodes. This hypothesis highlights the importance of continued multidisciplinary tests of the nature and magnitude of surface responses to mantle dynamics in intraplate settings.

AB Cs2LiYCl6:Ce (CLYC) is one of the most promising new scintillators for detecting both neutrons and gamma-rays. Its neutron and gamma-ray discrimination capability using pulse-shape analysis has drawn much attention, and there is significant interest in its use in field applications. For such applications, compact and low-power readout electronics capable of exploiting the pulse-shape discrimination (PSD) capabilities of CLYC will be essential. A readout system centered around a PSD-capable application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) that is well-suited for use with CLYC has been characterized, tested, and validated. As part of this study, automated analysis of CLYC data collected with a fast waveform digitizer extracted optimized charge integration windows for PSD. Additionally, several different CLYC samples were studied in order to gain understanding of the dependance of pulse shapes on parameters such as crystal size, Li-6 enrichment level, crystal packaging, and choice of PMT. Extremely good PSD performance was obtained from CLYC scintillator and the ASIC-based readout system. Published by Elsevier

AB The Central Time-of-Flight detector for the Jefferson Laboratory 12-GeV upgrade is being designed with linear-focused photomultiplier tubes that require a robust magnetic shield against the CLAS12 main 5-T solenoid fringe fields of 100 mT (1 kG). Theoretical consideration of a ferromagnetic cylinder in an axial field has demonstrated that its shielding capability decreases with increasing length. This observation has been confirmed with finite element analysis using POISSON model software. Several shields composed of coaxial ferromagnetic cylinders have been studied. All difficulties caused by saturation effects were overcome with a novel dynamical shield, which utilizes a demagnetizing solenoid between the shielding cylinders. Basic dynamical shields for ordinary linear-focused 2-in. photomultiplier tubes were designed and tested both with models and experimental prototypes at different external field and demagnetizing current values. Our shield design reduces the 1 kG external axial field by a factor of 5000. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V All rights reserved.

AB Neutron scattering has been an important tool for many areas of science for more than 50 years. Even though the theory of neutron scattering was developed in large part in the 1950s and 1960s, it is still to this day a challenge to design neutron sources. This is largely due to the fact that in order to achieve the necessary fluxes, it is necessary to construct either a fission reactor or a spallation source. These facilities are so complex that designers frequently rely on the experiences gained from previously designed facilities. Over the years these rules were often passed on more in form of an art than as science. The goal of this paper is to re-evaluate these rules and to establish if they are still valid today or if they have become urban legends. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB This paper reports deuteron vector and tensor beam polarization measurements taken to investigate the systematic variations due to geometric beam misalignments and high data rates. The experiments used the In-Beam Polarimeter at the KVI-Groningen and the EDDA detector at the Cooler Synchrotron COSY at Julich. By measuring with very high statistical precision, the contributions that are second-order in the systematic errors become apparent. By calibrating the sensitivity of the polarimeter to such errors, it becomes possible to obtain information from the raw count rate values on the size of the errors and to use this information to correct the polarization measurements. During the experiment, it was possible to demonstrate that corrections were satisfactory at the level of 10(-5) for deliberately large errors. This may facilitate the real time observation of vector polarization changes smaller than 10(-6) in a search for an electric dipole moment using a storage ring. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.

DE Detectors of radiation; Bolometers; Stabilization of response

AB One of the critical issues while operating bolometric detectors over periods of time of 1 year or more consists of keeping their response stable within a 0.1% level, despite the unavoidable temperature fluctuations of the cryogenic set-up. By using an energy pulser, which periodically delivers a fixed amount of energy in the absorber, it is possible to stabilize the response of the bolometers. A stabilization technique using heating devices, made up of heavily doped semiconductor material (well above the metal-to-insulator transition), has been developed in the framework of the CUORE experiment. In this paper we describe in detail the procedure for the realization of the heating elements, based on silicon planar technology. We then report on the multi-step low temperature characterization (77 K, 4.2 K, 1.5 K, 35 mK) of the heaters. Finally, an example of achieved stabilization for a CUORE-like detector is reported. The similar to 1500 heaters tested at similar to 1.5 K show less than 0.5% change in resistance between 30 mu V and 3 mV, and less than 1% change in value between 50 mK and 800 mK. In particular, the resistance change between 4.2 K and 1.5 K is less than 0.1%. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB Cherenkov detectors employ various methods to maximize light collection at the photomultiplier tubes (PMTs). These generally involve the use of highly reflective materials lining the interior of the detector, reflective materials around the PMTs, or wavelength-shifting sheets around the PMTs. Recently, the use of water-soluble wavelength-shifters has been explored to increase the measurable light yield of Cherenkov radiation in water. These wave-shifting chemicals are capable of absorbing light in the ultraviolet and re-emitting the light in a range detectable by PMTs. Using a 250 L water Cherenkov detector, we have characterized the increase in light yield from three compounds in water: 4-Methylumbelliferone, Carbostyril-124, and Amino-G Salt. We report the gain in PMT response at a concentration of 1 ppm as 1.88 +/- 0.02 for 4-Methylumbelliferone, stable within 0.5% over 50 days, 1.37 +/- 0.03 for Carbostyril-124, and 1.20 +/- 0.02 for Amino-G Salt. The response of 4-Methylumbelliferone was modeled, resulting in a simulated gain within 9% of the experimental gain at 1 ppm concentration. Finally, we report an increase in neutron detection performance of a large-scale (3.5 kL) gadolinium-doped water Cherenkov detector at a 4-Methylumbelliferone concentration of 1 ppm.

DE CdZnTe detectors; Virtual Frisch-grid detectors; Crystal defects; Event
recognition
AB In an ideal single-carrier-type gamma ray detector, the amplitudes of the signals and the carrier drift times are correlated variables. However, if the charges produced by an incident photon are not fully collected, as is the case in CdZnTe detectors containing crystal defects, the above correlation does not hold. This permits the application of an event recognition algorithm to identify these incomplete charge collection (ICC) events, caused by the "bad" regions inside a detector, so that they can be removed from pulse height spectra. The ICC events primarily contribute to the Compton continuum and the low-energy tail of the photopeak. Thus, rejecting such events should not affect significantly the photopeak efficiency, but should improve the spectral response, e.g., the peak-to-Compton ratio, for a detector fabricated from material with relaxed crystal quality requirements. Such crystals are those currently available from vendors. The use of stronger ICC correlation-function rejection criteria can improve the energy resolution of these lower-quality crystals, but at the price of a loss in photoefficiency.

AB The emergence of nanotechnology imposes a new level of control in the synthesis of materials, one in which the structure and chemistry have to be controlled and characterized at the nanoscale. The solution combustion synthesis method has been used to synthesize many different oxides, including luminescent ones. However, a systematic investigation of the dopant homogeneity at the nanoscale in materials produced by this method is lacking. This is of particular relevance in nanophosphors due to the possibility of concentration quenching. In this work, 5 at.% Tb-doped Y2O3 was prepared by the solution combustion synthesis method and investigated on its structure and chemical composition homogeneity at the nanoscale by means of electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), high resolution TEM, X-ray diffraction and photoluminescence measurements. The results show that it is possible to prepare luminescent materials by the solution combustion synthesis method where the dopant is homogeneously distributed within each nanoparticle.

AB Cell cultures allow rapid kinetic labeling experiments that can provide information on precursor-product relationships and intermediate pools. T-87 suspension cells are increasingly used in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) research, but there are no reports describing their lipid composition or biosynthesis. To facilitate application of T-87 cells for analysis of glycerolipid metabolism, including tests of gene functions, we determined composition and accumulation of lipids of light-and dark-grown cultures. Fatty acid synthesis in T-87 cells was 7- to 8-fold higher than in leaves. Similar to other plant tissues, phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine were major phospholipids, but galactolipid levels were 3- to 4-fold lower than Arabidopsis leaves. Triacylglycerol represented 10% of total acyl chains, a greater percentage than in most nonseed tissues. The initial steps in T-87 cell lipid assembly were evaluated by pulse labeling cultures with [C-14] acetate and [C-14] glycerol. [C-14] acetate was very rapidly incorporated into PC, preferentially at sn-2 and without an apparent precursor-product relationship to diacylglycerol (DAG). By contrast, [C-14] glycerol most rapidly labeled DAG. These results indicate that acyl editing of PC is the major pathway for initial incorporation of fatty acids into glycerolipids of cells derived from a 16:3 plant. A very short lag time (5.4 s) for [C-14] acetate labeling of PC implied channeled incorporation of acyl chains without mixing with the bulk acyl-CoA pool. Subcellular fractionation of pea (Pisum sativum) leaf protoplasts indicated that 30% of lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase activity colocalized with chloroplasts. Together, these data support a model in which PC participates in trafficking of newly synthesized acyl chains from plastids to the endoplasmic reticulum.

AB The cuticle is a complex aliphatic polymeric layer connected to the cell wall and covers surfaces of all aerial plant organs. The cuticle prevents nonstomatal water loss, regulates gas exchange, and acts as a barrier against pathogen infection. The cuticle is synthesized by epidermal cells and predominantly consists of an aliphatic polymer matrix (cutin) and intracuticular and epicuticular waxes. Cutin monomers are primarily C-16 and C-18 unsubstituted, omega-hydroxy, and alpha,omega-dicarboxylic fatty acids. Phenolics such as ferulate and p-coumarate esters also contribute to a minor extent to the cutin polymer. Here, we present the characterization of a novel acyl-coenzyme A (CoA)-dependent acyl-transferase that is encoded by a gene designated Deficient in Cutin Ferulate (DCF). The DCF protein is responsible for the feruloylation of v-hydroxy fatty acids incorporated into the cutin polymer of aerial Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) organs. The enzyme specifically transfers hydroxycinnamic acids using v-hydroxy fatty acids as acyl acceptors and hydroxycinnamoyl-CoAs, preferentially feruloyl-CoA and sinapoyl-CoA, as acyl donors in vitro. Arabidopsis mutant lines carrying DCF loss-of-function alleles are devoid of rosette leaf cutin ferulate and exhibit a 50% reduction in ferulic acid content in stem insoluble residues. DCF is specifically expressed in the epidermis throughout all green Arabidopsis organs. The DCF protein localizes to the cytosol, suggesting that the feruloylation of cutin monomers takes place in the cytoplasm.

AB Electrospun nanofibers were captured directly between two steel rods that functioned as the "grips" of the tensile testing apparatus. Tension was applied to the selected nanofiber by displacing one of the grips at controlled rates or in steps. The stress was revealed by the deflection of a nanofiber, caused by the drag force from a broad stream of air, which flowed perpendicular to the fiber at a known velocity. The deflected position and shape of the nanofiber was observed with a light arrangement optimized to produce bright glints that were photographed with a camcorder. Image analysis of the catenary shapes of the nanofibers was combined with scanning electron microscopy measurements of the diameter of the ends of the tested fibers to evaluate the mechanical properties.
Measurements of properties, including tensile strength, tensile modulus and elongation-to-break, of thin electrospun fibers were obtained on six chemically different polymers: nylon 6, poly(ethylene oxide), polyvinylpyrrolidone, poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline), Tecoflex (R) and Tecophilic (R) polyurethanes. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of tensile data on single polyvinylpyrrolidone and poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) nanofibers. These soft nanofibers with low strain to break rarely survive the sample loading procedures where single fiber manipulation is involved. This method complements difficult mechanical measurements of polymer nanofibers and low strength microfibers made on miniature mechanical testing devices. Mechanical hysteresis curves were attained that show the recoverable and non-recoverable tensile deformation of PEO, nylon and Tecophilic (R) polyurethane fibers. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

AB As interest in magnetic devices has increased over the last 20 years, research into nanomagnetism has experienced a corresponding growth. Device applications from magnetic storage to magnetic logic have compelled interest in the influence of geometry and finite size on magnetism and magnetic excitations, in particular where the smallest dimensions reach the important magnetic interaction length scales. The dynamical behavior of nanoscale magnets is an especially important subset of research, as these phenomena are both critical for device physics and profoundly influenced by finite size. At the same time, nanoscale systems offer unique geometries to promote and study model systems, such as magnetic vortices, leading to new fundamental insights into magnetization dynamics. A wide array of experimental and computational techniques have been applied to these problems. Among these, imaging techniques that provide real-space information on the magnetic order are particularly useful. X-ray microscopy offers several advantages over scanning probe or optical techniques, such as high spatial resolution, element specificity and the possibility for high time resolution. Here, we review recent contributions using static and time-resolved x-ray photoemission electron microscopy to nanomagnetism research.

AB Poled lead zirconate titanate (PZT) material as a single-layer plate was tested using a piezodilatometer under electric cyclic loading in both unipolar and bipolar modes. Its responses were evaluated using unipolar and bipolar measurements on the same setup. The mechanical strain and charge density loops exhibited various variations when the material was cycled for more than 108 cycles. The various quantities including loop amplitude, hysteresis, switchable polarization, and coercive field were characterized accordingly under the corresponding measurement conditions. At the same time, the offset polarization and bias electric field of the material were observed to be changed and the trend was found to be related to the measurement conditions also. Finally, the piezoelectric and dielectric coefficients were analyzed and their implications for the application of interest have been discussed.

AB This article presents a comparative study on quantum mechanical frameworks between the widely used local Quasi-Fermi Level (QFL) model and a recently developed top of the barrier splitting (TBS) model. Both models are based on an atomistic quantum mechanical solver using the linear combination of bulk band method (LCBB). The QFL model uses the local Quasi-Fermi Level to represent the local equilibrium and calculate the occupied charge density as well as the current flow along the channel. The TBS model extracts scattering state information from the stationary solution of the system, then calculates the charge density as well as the ballistic and tunneling current. Using these two models, the 10 nm and 22 nm double-gate ultra-thin-body structures are simulated. Comparisons in occupied charge densities, self-consistent potentials as well as the I-V characteristics between these two models are presented. It is found that the QFL model significantly overestimate the subthreshold charge density inside the channel, as well as the current, while it works fine in the ON state of the device. It is also found that the results from both QFL and TBS models tend to coincide with each other as the drain bias approaching zero. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB To obtain an engineered surface for deposition of high-T-c superconductors, nanoscale modulations of the surface of the underlying LaMnO3 (LMO) cap layer is a potential source for generating microstructural defects in YBa2Cu3O7-delta (YBCO) films. These defects may improve the flux pinning and consequently increase the critical current density, J(c). To provide such nanoscale modulation via a practical and scalable process, palladium (Pd) or tantalum (Ta) nano-islands were deposited using dc-magnetron sputtering on the surface of the cap layer of commercial metal tape templates for second-generation wires. The size and density of these nano-islands can be controlled by changing sputtering conditions such as the power and deposition time. Compared to the reference sample grown on an untreated LMO cap layer, the YBCO films grown on the LMO cap layers with Pd or Ta nano-islands exhibited improved in-field J(c) performance. Atomic force microscopy and transmission electron microscopy were used to assess the evolving size and density of the nano-islands.

AB A superconducting 1.3 GHz RF cavity is designed for acceleration of H- ions traveling at 81% of the speed of light. This 1.3 GHz cavity is considered for use in the squeezed International Linear Collider (ILC) section of the proposed high intensity H- ion linac at Fermilab, in order to accelerate a H- ion beam for the energy range of 420 MeV-1.2 GeV. The design of the earlier proposed 11-cell elliptical cavity is studied for higher order modes and the shape of the end cells is optimized to avoid trapped modes while keeping the field flatness and operating frequency undisturbed. A new alternative design based on nine cells is also proposed. Both inner and end cells are designed to achieve the optimal performance of the proposed cavity and higher order modes are studied.

AB This paper designs a comprehensive approach based on the engineering machine/system concept, to model, analyze, and assess the level of carbon dioxide (CO2) exchange between the atmosphere and terrestrial ecosystems, which is an important factor in understanding changes in global climate. The focus of this article is on spatial patterns and on the correlation between levels of CO2 fluxes and a variety of influencing factors in eco-environments. The engineering/machine concept used is a system protocol that includes the sequential activities of design, test, observe, and model. This concept is applied to explicitly include various influencing factors and interactions associated with CO2 fluxes. To formulate effective models of a large and complex climate system, this article introduces a modeling technique that will be referred to as stochastic filtering analysis of variance (SF-ANOVA). The CO2 flux data observed from some sites of AmeriFlux are used to illustrate and validate the analysis, prediction, and globalization capabilities of the proposed engineering approach and the SF-ANOVA technique. The SF-ANOVA modeling approach was compared to stepwise regression, ridge regression, and neural networks. The comparison indicated that the proposed approach is a valid and effective tool with similar accuracy and less complexity than the other procedures.

AB Efforts to maximize or restore ecological function on floodplains impacted by dam construction have increasingly focused on river flow management. Few studies, however, consider floodplain hydrogeomorphic position and annual climatic variation in dam impact assessment. The Savannah River, a large river ecosystem in the Southeastern United States, was impounded in the 1950's. Our study objectives were: (1) Characterize hydrology in floodplain areas containing Taxodium distichum, and determine how it has been affected by dam operations; (2) Identify basal area increment (BAI) response of Taxodium to annual flooding and climate (dry, average, wet) conditions; (3) Assess BAI response to dam-induced hydrologic changes. Levee and backswamp sites were significantly drier in the post-dam era, and trees at these sites showed a significant post-dam increase in BAI. Low-elevation river sites did not show significant hydrologic differences between pre- and post-dam eras, but BAI was significantly higher in dry years and significantly less sensitive to hydroperiod in the post-dam era. All trees demonstrated a significant quadratic BAI vs. hydroperiod relationship. This study demonstrates that annual productivity of Taxodium trees can be reduced by either drought or flood stress. It also suggests that climate and hydrogeomorphic location mediate dam impacts and productivity-flooding relationships in Taxodium.

AB Global radiation damage to 19 thaumatin crystals has been measured using dose rates from 3 to 680 kGy s-1. At room temperature damage per unit dose appears to be roughly independent of dose rate, suggesting that the timescales for important damage processes are less than similar to 1 s. However, at T = 260 K approximately half of the global damage manifested at dose rates of similar to 10 kGy s-1 can be outrun by collecting data at 680 kGy s-1. Appreciable sample-to-sample variability in global radiation sensitivity at fixed dose rate is observed. This variability cannot be accounted for by errors in dose calculation, crystal slippage or the size of the data sets in the assay.

AB Rhizobial NodZ a1,6-fucosyltransferase (a1,6-FucT) catalyzes the transfer of the fucose (Fuc) moiety from guanosine 5'-diphosphate-beta-l-fucose to the reducing end of the chitin oligosaccharide core during Nod-factor (NF) biosynthesis. NF is a key signalling molecule required for successful symbiosis with a legume host for atmospheric nitrogen fixation. To date, only two a1,6-FucT structures have been determined, both without any donor or acceptor molecule that could similar to highlight the structural background of the catalytic mechanism. Here, the first crystal structures of a1,6-FucT in complex with its substrate GDP-Fuc and with GDP, which is similar to a similar to byproduct of the enzymatic reaction, are presented. The crystal of the complex with GDP-Fuc was obtained through soaking of native NodZ crystals with the ligand and its structure has been determined at 2.35 angstrom resolution. The fucose residue is exposed to solvent and is disordered. The enzymeproduct complex crystal was obtained by cocrystallization with GDP and an acceptor molecule, penta-N-acetyl-l-glucosamine (penta-NAG). The structure has been determined at 1.98 angstrom resolution, showing that only the GDP molecule is present in the complex. In both structures the ligands are located in a cleft formed between the two domains of NodZ and extend towards the C-terminal domain, but their conformations differ significantly. The structures revealed that residues in three regions of the C-terminal domain, which are conserved among a1,2-, a1,6- and protein O-fucosyltransferases, are involved in interactions with the sugar-donor molecule. There is also an interaction with the side chain of Tyr45 in the N-terminal domain, which is very unusual for a GT-B-type glycosyltransferase. Only minor conformational changes of the protein backbone are observed upon ligand binding. The only exception is a movement of the loop located between strand beta C2 and helix aC3. In addition, there is a shift of the aC3 helix itself upon GDP-Fuc binding.

AB A protein fraction exhibiting 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid (1-H2NA) dioxygenase activity was purified via ion exchange, hydrophobic interactions, and gel filtration chromatography from Arthrobacter phenanthrenivorans sp. nov. strain Sphe3 isolated from a Greek creosote-oil-polluted site. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) and tandem MS (MS-MS) analysis revealed that the amino acid sequences of oligopeptides of the major 45-kDa protein species, as analyzed by SDS-PAGE and silver staining, comprising 29% of the whole sequence, exhibited strong homology with 1-H2NA dioxygenase of Nocardioides sp. strain KP7. A BLAST search of the recently sequenced Sphe3 genome revealed two putative open reading frames, named diox1 and diox2, showing 90% nucleotide identity to each other and 85% identity at the amino acid level with the Nocardia sp. homologue. diox1 was found on an indigenous Sphe3 plasmid, whereas diox2 was located on the chromosome. Both genes were induced by the presence of phenanthrene used as a sole carbon and energy source, and as expected, both were subject to carbon catabolite repression. The relative RNA transcription level of the chromosomal (diox2) gene was significantly higher than that of its plasmid (diox1) homologue. Both diox1 and diox2 putative genes were PCR amplified, cloned, and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. Recombinant E. coli cells expressed 1-H2NA dioxygenase activity. Recombinant enzymes exhibited Michaelis-Menten kinetics with an apparent K-m of 35 mu M for Diox1 and 29 mu M for Diox2, whereas they showed similar kinetic turnover characteristics with K-cat/K-m values of 11 x 10(6) M-1 s(-1) and 12 x 10(6) M-1 s(-1), respectively. Occurrence of two diox1 and diox2 homologues in the Sphe3 genome implies that a replicative transposition event has contributed to the evolution of 1-H2NA dioxygenase in A. phenanthrenivorans.

AB Anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing (anammox) bacteria play an important role in the biogeochemical cycling of nitrogen. They derive their energy for growth from the conversion of ammonium and nitrite into dinitrogen gas in the complete absence of oxygen. Several methods have been used to detect the presence and activity of anammox bacteria in the environment, including 16S rRNA gene-based approaches. The use of the 16S rRNA gene to study biodiversity has the disadvantage that it is not directly related to the physiology of the target organism and that current primers do not completely capture the anammox diversity. Here we report the development of PCR primer sets targeting a subunit of the hydrazine synthase (hzsA), which represents a unique phylogenetic marker for anammox bacteria. The tested primers were able to retrieve hzsA gene sequences from anammox enrichment cultures, full-scale anammox wastewater treatment systems, and a variety of freshwater and marine environmental samples, covering all known anammox genera.

AB Subsurface sediments were recovered from a 52-m-deep borehole cored in the 300 Area of the Hanford Site in southeastern Washington State to assess the potential for biogeochemical transformation of radionuclide contaminants. Microbial analyses were made on 17 sediment samples traversing multiple geological units: the oxic coarse-grained Hanford formation (9 to 17.4 m), the oxic fine-grained upper Ringold formation (17.7 to 18.1 m), and the reduced Ringold formation (18.3 to 52 m). Microbial biomass (measured as phospholipid fatty acids) ranged from 7 to 974 pmols per g in discrete samples, with the highest numbers found in the Hanford formation. On average, strata below 17.4 m had 13-fold less biomass than those from shallower strata. The nosZ gene that encodes nitrous oxide reductase (measured by quantitative real-time PCR) had an abundance of 5 to 17% relative to that of total 16S rRNA genes below 18.3 m and <5% above 18.1 m. Most nosZ sequences were affiliated with Ochrobactrum anthropi (97% sequence similarity) or had a nearest neighbor of Achromobacter xylosoxidans (90% similarity). Passive multilevel sampling of groundwater geochemistry demonstrated a redox gradient in the 1.5-m region between the Hanford-Ringold formation contact and the Ringold oxic-anoxic interface. Within this zone, copies of the dsrA gene and Geobacteraceae had the highest relative abundance. The majority of dsrA genes detected near the interface were related to Desulfotomaculum spp. These analyses indicate that the region just below the contact between the Hanford and Ringold formations is a zone of active biogeochemical redox cycling.

AB Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis ATCC 15697 utilizes several small-mass neutral human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), several of which are fucosylated. Whereas previous studies focused on endpoint consumption, a temporal glycan consumption profile revealed a time-dependent effect. Specifically, among preferred HMOs, tetraose was favored early in fermentation, with other oligosaccharides consumed slightly later. In order to utilize fucosylated oligosaccharides, ATCC 15697 possesses several fucosidases, implicating GH29 and GH95 alpha-L-fucosidases in a gene cluster dedicated to HMO metabolism. Evaluation of the biochemical kinetics demonstrated that ATCC 15697 expresses three fucosidases with a high turnover rate. Moreover, several ATCC 15697 fucosidases are active on the linkages inherent to the HMO molecule. Finally, the HMO cluster GH29 alpha-L-fucosidase possesses a crystal structure that is similar to previously characterized fucosidases.

AB Recovery of spores from environmental surfaces varies due to sampling and analysis methods, spore size and characteristics, surface materials, and environmental conditions. Tests were performed to evaluate a new, validated sponge wipe method using Bacillus atrophaeus spores. Testing evaluated the effects of spore concentration and surface material on recovery efficiency (RE), false-negative rate (FNR), limit of detection (LOD), and their uncertainties. Ceramic tile and stainless steel had the highest mean RE values (48.9 and 48.1%, respectively). Faux leather, vinyl tile, and painted wood had mean RE values of 30.3, 25.6, and 25.5, respectively, while plastic had the lowest mean RE (9.8%). Results show roughly linear dependences of RE and FNR on surface roughness, with smoother surfaces resulting in higher mean RFs and lower FNRs. REs were not influenced by the low spore concentrations tested (3.10 x 10(-3) to 1.86 CFU/cm(2)). Stainless steel had the lowest mean FNR (0.123), and plastic had the highest mean FNR (0.479). The LOD90 (>= 1 CFU detected 90% of the time) varied with surface material, from 0.015 CFU/cm(2) on stainless steel up to 0.039 on plastic. It may be possible to improve sampling results by considering surface roughness in selecting sampling locations and interpreting spore recovery data. Further, FNR values (calculated as a function of concentration and surface material) can be used presampling to calculate the numbers of samples for statistical sampling plans with desired performance and postsampling to calculate the confidence in characterization and clearance decisions.

AB Continuum fitting is an important aspect of Ly alpha forest science, since errors in the derived optical depths scale with the fractional continuum error. However, traditional methods of estimating continua in noisy and moderate-resolution spectra (e.g., Sloan Digital Sky Survey, SDSS; S/N less than or similar to 10 pixel(-1) and R 2000), such as power-law extrapolation or dividing by the mean spectrum, achieve no better than similar to 15% rms accuracy. To improve on this, we introduce mean-flux-regulated principal component analysis (MF-PCA) continuum fitting. In this technique, PCA fitting is carried out redward of the quasar Ly alpha line in order to provide a prediction for the shape of the Ly alpha forest continuum. The slope and amplitude of this continuum prediction is then corrected using external constraints for the Ly alpha forest mean flux. This requires prior knowledge of the mean flux, < F >, but significantly improves the accuracy of the flux transmission, F equivalent to exp(-tau), estimated from each pixel. From tests on mock spectra, we find that MF-PCA reduces the errors to 8% rms in S/N similar to 2 spectra, and <5% rms in spectra with S/N greater than or similar to 5. The residual Fourier power in the continuum is decreased by a factor of a few in comparison with dividing by the mean continuum, enabling Ly alpha flux power spectrum measurements to be extended to similar to 2x larger scales. Using this new technique, we make available continuum fits for 12,069 z > 2.3 Ly alpha forest spectra from SDSS Data Release 7 for use by the community. This technique is also applicable to future releases of the ongoing Baryon Oscillations Spectroscopic Survey, which obtains spectra for similar to 150,000 Ly alpha forest spectra at low signal-to-noise (S/N similar to 2).

AB The origins of side scattering from a fibroblast and cervical cell line were determined by comparing side-scatter images with images stained for lysosomes, nuclei, and mitochondria on a cell by cell basis. Lysosomes or nuclei are the most efficient type of scatterer depending on the cell type and incident light polarization. The relative scattering efficiencies of lysosomes and mitochondria were the same for both cell lines, while the scattering efficiencies of the nuclei differed. The percent of 90 degrees scattering from the nucleus, mitochondria, and lysosomes as well as the group of other internal cellular objects was estimated. The nucleus was the largest contributor to side scatter in the cervical carcinoma cells. The contributions of lysosomes, mitochondria, the nucleus, and particles unstained by either Hoechst, LysoSensor or MitoTracker ranges from similar to 20% to similar to 30% in fibroblast cells. The contribution of lysosomes to side scatter was much stronger when the incident light was polarized perpendicular to the scattering plane than when the polarization of the side scatter laser was parallel to the scattering plane. This dependence on side scatter polarization indicates that lysosomes contain scattering structures that are much smaller than the wavelength of light used in the measurements (785 nm). In conclusion, mitochondria were not found to be either the most efficient scatterer or to have the largest contribution to scattering in either cell line, in contrast to previous reports. Rather lysosomes, nuclei and unknown particles all have significant contributions to 90 degrees scattering and the contributions of some of these particles can be modulated by changing the polarization of the incident light.

AB Carboxy-fluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester (CFSE) labeling is an important experimental tool for measuring cell responses to extracellular signals in biomedical research. However, changes of the cell cycle (e.g., time to division) corresponding to different stimulations cannot be directly characterized from data collected in CFSE-labeling experiments. A number of independent studies have developed mathematical models as well as parameter estimation methods to better understand cell cycle kinetics based on CFSE data. However, when applying different models to the same data set, notable discrepancies in parameter estimates based on different models has become an issue of great concern. It is therefore important to compare existing models and make recommendations for practical use. For this purpose, we derived the analytic form of an age-dependent multitype branching process model. We then compared the performance of different models, namely branching process, cyton, Smith-Martin, and a linear birth-death ordinary differential equation (ODE) model via simulation studies. For fairness of model comparison, simulated data sets were generated using an agent-based simulation tool which is independent of the four models that are compared. The simulation study results suggest that the branching process model significantly outperforms the other three models over a wide range of parameter values. This model was then employed to understand the proliferation pattern of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells under polyclonal stimulation.

AB DNA barcodes are short, unique ssDNA primers that mark individual biomolecules. To gain better understanding of biophysical parameters constraining primerdimer formation between primers that incorporate barcode sequences, we have developed a capillary electrophoresis method that utilizes drag-tag-DNA conjugates to quantify dimerization risk between primer-barcode pairs. Results obtained with this unique free-solution conjugate electrophoresis approach are useful as quantitatively precise input data to parameterize computation models of dimerization risk. A set of fluorescently labeled, model primer-barcode conjugates were designed with complementary regions of differing lengths to quantify heterodimerization as a function of temperature. Primerdimer cases comprised two 30-mer primers, one of which was covalently conjugated to a lab-made, chemically synthesized poly-N-methoxyethylglycine drag-tag, which reduced electrophoretic mobility of ssDNA to distinguish it from ds primerdimers. The drag-tags also provided a shift in mobility for the dsDNA species, which allowed us to quantitate primerdimer formation. In the experimental studies, pairs of oligonucleotide primer barcodes with fully or partially complementary sequences were annealed, and then separated by free-solution conjugate CE at different temperatures, to assess effects on primerdimer formation. When less than 30 out of 30 base-pairs were bonded, dimerization was inversely correlated to temperature. Dimerization occurred when more than 15 consecutive base-pairs formed, yet non-consecutive base-pairs did not create stable dimers even when 20 out of 30 possible base-pairs bonded. The use of free-solution electrophoresis in combination with a peptoid drag-tag and different fluorophores enabled precise separation of short DNA fragments to establish a new mobility shift assay for detection of primerdimer formation.

TUMORIGENESIS
AB Cancer cells are metabolically stressed during tumour progression due to limited tumour vascularity and resultant nutrient, growth factor and oxygen deficiency that can induce cell death and inhibit tumour growth. We demonstrate that Rab25, a small GTPase involved in endosomal recycling, that is genomically amplified in multiple tumour lineages, is a key regulator of cellular bioenergetics and autophagy. RAB25 enhanced survival during nutrient stress by preventing apoptosis and autophagy via binding and activating AKT leading to increased glucose uptake and improved cellular bioenergetics. Unexpectedly, Rab25 induced the accumulation of glycogen in epithelial cancer cells, a process not previously identified. Strikingly, an increase in basal ATP levels combined with AKT-dependent increases in glucose uptake and glycogen storage allowed maintenance of ATP levels during bioenergetic stress. The clinical relevance of these findings was validated by the ability of a Rab25-dependent expression profile enriched for bioenergetics targets to identify patients with a poor prognosis. Thus, Rab25 is an unexpected regulator of cellular bioenergetics implicated as a useful biomarker and potential therapeutic target.

TI Large hybrid energy systems for making low CO2 load-following power and
synthetic fuel
SO ENERGY & ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE
LA English
DT Article
AB Hybrid energy systems using nuclear heat sources can economically produce load-following electrical power by exploiting their surplus generation capacity, available at night or seasonally, to make synthetic fuel. Vehicle fuel is the only current energy use large enough to absorb all the energy capacity that might be diverted from the power industry, and its ease of storage obviates problems with discontinuous synfuel production. The potential benefits and challenges of synfuels integration are illustrated by the production of methanol from natural gas (as a source of carbon) using steam from a light water nuclear power reactor which is assumed to be available in accord with a year's worth of power demand data. The synthesis of methanol is easily adapted to using 300 degrees C heat from a light water reactor and this simple compound can be further processed into gasoline, biodiesel (to esterify vegetable oils), or dimethyl ether, fuels which can be used with the current vehicle fleet. A supplemental feed to the methanol process of natural gas (for energy) allows operation at constant full rate when the nuclear heat is being used to produce electrical power. The higher capital costs of such a system are offset by a lower cost of heat and power production from a large base load type of plant and by reduced costs associated with much lower CO2 emissions. Other less tangible economic benefits of this and similar hybrid systems include better use of natural resources for fuels and greater energy supply reliability from the domestic production of vehicle fuel.

TI Optimizing luminescent solar concentrator design
SO ENERGY & ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE

DT Article
ID DETAILED BALANCE LIMIT; EFFICIENCY; DEVICES; CELLS
AB Luminescent Solar Concentrators (LSCs) use fluorescent materials and light guides to convert direct and diffuse sunlight into concentrated wavelength-shifted light that produces electrical power in small photovoltaic (PV) cells with the goal of significantly reducing the cost of solar energy utilization. In this paper we present an optimization analysis based on the implementation of a genetic algorithm (GA) subroutine to a numerical ray-tracing Monte Carlo model of an LSC, SIMSOLAR-P. The initial use of the GA implementation in SIMSOLAR-P is to find the optimal parameters of a hypothetical "perfect luminescent material" that obeys the Kennard Stepanov (K-S) thermodynamic relationship between emission and absorption. The optimization balances the efficiency losses in the wavelength shift and PV conversion with the efficiency losses due to re-scattering of light out of the collector. The theoretical limits of efficiency are provided for one, two and three layer configurations; the results show that a single layer configuration is far from optimal and adding a second layer in the LSC with wavelength shifted material in the near infrared region significantly increases the power output, while the gain in power by adding a third layer is relatively small. The results of this study provide a theoretical upper limit to the performance of an LSC and give guidance for the properties required for luminescent materials, such as quantum nanocrystals, to operate efficiently in planar LSC configurations.

AB 1. Many animals use signals to resolve disputes over resources. Some signals act as reliable indicators of other traits, such as whole-organism performance or body condition, which may also be important for resolving disputes. Because of the correlations inherent in reliable signals, it is challenging to determine which variables are directly relevant for resolving aggressive interactions.
2. We examined the relationships among dewlap size, bite force and condition, all traits that may be important to conflict resolution in male green anole lizards (Anolis carolinensis). Using a large sample of wild-caught animals, we showed significant positive correlations between dewlap size and maximum bite force capacity, when each trait is corrected for its correlation with body size.
3. We tested the relative importance of each trait to the outcome of interactions in a subset of our sample. We staged dominance encounters between size-matched male green anoles after surgically reducing the dewlap size of one competitor.
4. We show that reducing the size of the dewlap does not significantly change the outcome of staged interactions. Rather, males with higher values of bite force capacity were more likely to win fights. We hypothesize that during close-proximity aggressive interactions, male green anoles use more direct means of assessing one another and that dewlap size functions as a signal of bite force primarily during long-distance territorial displays. Body condition was correlated with bite force, but did not differ significantly between winners and losers.
5. Our results show how an experimental approach can decouple reliable signals from their correlated traits to test which factors influence male contest resolution.

AB A study of seepage occurring in an adit at the Nopal I uranium mine in Chihuahua, Mexico, was conducted as part of an integrated natural analogue study to evaluate the effects of infiltration and seepage on the mobilization and transport of radionuclides. An instrumented seepage collection system and local automated weather station permit direct correlation between local precipitation events and seepage. Field observations recorded between April 2005 and December 2006 indicate that seepage is highly heterogeneous with respect to time, location, and quantity. Seepage, precipitation, and fracture data were used to test two hypotheses: (1) that fast flow seepage is triggered by large precipitation events, and (2) that an increased abundance of fractures and/or fracture intersections leads to higher seepage volumes. A few zones in the back adit recorded elevated seepage volumes immediately following large (> 20 mm/day) precipitation events, with transit times of less than 4 h through the 8-m thick rock mass. In most locations, there is a 1-6 month time lag between the onset of the rainy season and seepage, with longer times observed for the front adit. There is a less clear-cut relation between fracture abundance and seepage volume; processes such as evaporation and surface flow along the ceiling may also influence seepage.

AB It has been shown that cooperative communications (CC) has the potential to significantly increase the capacity of wireless networks. However, most of the existing results are limited to single-hop wireless networks. To explore the behavior of CC in multi-hop wireless networks, we study a joint optimization problem of relay node assignment and flow routing for a group of sessions. We develop a mathematical model and propose a solution procedure based on the branch-and-bound framework augmented with cutting planes (BB-CP). We design several novel components to speed-up the computational time of BB-CP. Via numerical results, we show the potential rate gain that can be achieved by incorporating CC in multi-hop networks.

AB Access to electric power is critical to societal welfare. In this paper, we analyze the interaction between a defender and a terrorist who threatens the operation of an electric power system. The defender wants to find a strategic defense to minimize the consequences of an attack. Both parties have limited budgets and behave in their own self-interest. The problem is formulated as a multi-level mixed-integer programming problem. A Tabu Search with an embedded greedy algorithm for the attack problem is implemented to find the optimum defense strategy. We apply the algorithm to a 24-bus network for a combination of four different defense budgets, three attack budgets, and three assumptions as to how the terrorists craft their attacks.

AB In this paper, we present a unit commitment problem with uncertain wind power output. The problem is formulated as a chance-constrained two-stage (CCTS) stochastic program. Our model ensures that, with high probability, a large portion of the wind power output at each operating hour will be utilized. The proposed model includes both the two-stage stochastic program and the chance-constrained stochastic program features. These types of problems are challenging and have never been studied together before, even though the algorithms for the two-stage stochastic program and the chance-constrained stochastic program have been recently developed separately. In this paper, a combined sample average approximation (SAA) algorithm is developed to solve the model effectively. The convergence property and the solution validation process of our proposed combined SAA algorithm is discussed and presented in the paper. Finally, computational results indicate that increasing the utilization of wind power output might increase the total power generation cost, and our experiments also verify that the proposed algorithm can solve large-scale power grid optimization problems.

TI Environmental footprints of British Columbia wood pellets from a
simplified life cycle analysis

AB Environmental footprints of wood pellets produced in British Columbia (BC) of Canada are to be estimated based on industry surveys and published emission factor data.
The streamlined life cycle analysis starts from raw material acquisition and ends at port Rotterdam in Europe for exported pellets or North Vancouver port for domestically used pellets. The raw materials used for pellet production are dry and wet sawmill residues, and allocations are based on dry mass. The pellet production data are based on three pellets mills in western Canada.
For every tonne of BC pellets exported, 295 kg CO2 equivalent greenhouse gases is released. The human health, ecosystem quality, and climate change impacts of the exported pellets can be reduced by 61%, 66%, and 53%, respectively, if the pellets stay in BC for local applications. Harvesting is the second highest impacting process, following marine transportation. The total amount of primary energy consumed for 1 tonne of exported pellets is 6,372 MJ, and approximately 35% of it is attributed to marine transportation. Exported pellets have 16.4% of nonrenewable energy content and an energy penalty of 33% with energy penalty defined as the amount of primary energy consumed to produce and deliver one unit of process energy using the higher heating value. For domestically used pellets, the energy penalty is 21% and the nonrenewable energy content is 8.59%.
Marine transportation is the main contributor for all impact categories. Improving the energy efficiency of the harvesting and pellet plant operations is also a way to effectively reduce these wood pellet's environmental footprints.

TI Stochastic simulation of the cost of home-produced feeds for ruminant
livestock systems
SO JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE
LA English
DT Article
ID DAIRY FARMS; RISK; MODELS
AB An agro-economic simulation model was developed to facilitate comparison of the impact of management, market and biological factors on the cost of providing ruminant livestock with feed grown on the farm (home produced feed). Unpredictable year-to-year variation in crop yields and input prices were identified as quantifiable measures of risk affecting feed cost. Stochastic analysis was used to study the impact of yield and input price risk on the variability of feed cost for eight feeds grown in Ireland over a 10-year period. Intensively grazed perennial ryegrass was found to be the lowest cost feed in the current analysis (mean cost 7471000 Unite Fourragere Viande (UFV)). Yield risk was identified as the greatest single factor affecting feed cost variability. At mean prices and yields, purchased rolled barley was found to be 3% less costly than home-produced spring-sown barley. However, home-produced spring barley was marginally less risky than purchased barley (coefficient of variation (CV) 0.063 v. 0.064). Feed crops incurring the greatest proportion of fixed costs and area-dependent variable costs, including bunker grass silage, were the most sensitive to yield fluctuations. The most energy input-intensive feed crops, such as grass silage, both baled and bunker ensiled, were deemed most susceptible to input price fluctuations. Maize silage was the most risky feed crop (CV 0.195), with potential to be both the cheapest and the most expensive conserved feed.

AB Synthesis conditions, structural, magnetic and transport properties have been studied for SrCo1-xRexO3-delta samples with x=0.1, 0.25, 0.5. SrCo0.9Re0.1O3-delta forms in air and remains stable on cooling indicating that small amounts of Re7+ stabilize a B-site disordered Pm-3m phase inhibiting formation of a hexagonal phase observed for SrCoO3-delta. After oxygenation SrCo0.9Re0.1O2.94 becomes ferromagnetic below 125 K and shows metallic-like conductivity with moderate magnetoresistance at low temperatures. Fully oxygenated double perovskite Sr2CoReO6 (x=0.5) forms under reducing conditions and is tetragonal at room temperature. A hysteretic transition to the antiferromagnetic state at low temperatures (similar to 50-60 K) is coupled with a drastic change of electronic and thermal properties. Contrary to previous reports [A. Nag et al., Chem. Mater. 20(13) (2008) 4420-4424] SrCo0.75Re0.25O3 is not a partially cation ordered Sr4Co3ReO12 phase, but a mixture of two structural and magnetic phases with disordered SrCo1-xdRexdO3 and ordered SrCo1-xoRexoO3 compositions where xd > 0.1 and xo < 0.5.

AB Nanoparticles in a flexible polymer melt film often segregate to the substrate due to attractive depletion interactions between the nanoparticles and the substrate. Here, molecular dynamics simulations are performed to study the effect of chain stiffness on this segregation. The nanoparticles are modeled as spheres and the polymers as semi-flexible bead-spring chains. Both purely repulsive and attractive forces are considered, while assuming non-selective interactions among all species. The nanoparticles are found to be well-dispersed in the system having repulsive forces only and aggregate into clusters in the completely attractive system. For the repulsive system, adding chain stiffness substantially decreases the nanoparticles' segregation, and hence their concentration, at the substrate.

AB The large strain deformation of polycrystalline uranium 6 wt pct niobium (U6Nb) was studied in situ during uniaxial tensile and compressive loading by time-of-flight neutron diffraction. Diffraction patterns were recorded at incremental strains to a maximum of approximately 0.13 tensile and 0.15 compressive true strain. A discrete reorientation of the crystallographic texture under tensile straining between 0.04 and 0.08 true strain is consistent with a previously unobserved mechanical deformation twinning mechanism, identified as either a (100) or (010) mechanical twin system. Beyond this, a continuous texture reorientation towards an (010) crystal orientations indicates that a slip mechanism is likely predominant. An analogous mechanical twin system was not observed in compression at large strain.

AB A three-dimensional transient computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was developed to investigate the material flow and heat transfer during friction stir processing (FSP) in an AZ31B magnesium alloy. The material was assumed to be a non-Newtonian viscoplastic fluid, and the Zener-Hollomon parameter was used to describe the dependence of material viscosity on temperature and strain rate. The material constants used in the constitutive equation were determined experimentally from compression tests of the AZ31B Mg alloy under a wide range of strain rates and temperatures. A dynamic mesh method, combining both Lagrangian and Eulerian formulations, was used to capture the material flow induced by the movement of the threaded tool pin. Massless inert particles were embedded in the simulation domain to track the detailed history of material flow. The actual FSP was also carried out on a wrought Mg plate where temperature profiles were recorded by embedding thermocouples. The predicted transient temperature history was found to be consistent with that measured during FSP. Finally, the influence of the thread on the simulated results of thermal history and material flow was studied by comparing two models: one with threaded pin and the other with smooth pin surface.

AB We investigate a thermoresistive instability in the outer crusts of magnetars wherein a perturbation in temperature increases ohmic heating. We show that magnetars of characteristic age tage similar to 104 yr are unstable over time-scales as short as days if strong current sheets are present in the outer crust. This instability could play an important role in the thermal and magnetic field evolution of magnetars, and may be related to bursting activity in magnetars.

AB We present photometry and spectroscopy of the peculiar Type II supernova (SN) SN 2010jp, also named PTF10aaxi. The light curve exhibits a linear decline with a relatively low peak absolute magnitude of only -15.9 (unfiltered), and a low radioactive decay luminosity at late times, which suggests a low synthesized nickel mass of M (56 Ni) ? 0.003 M?. Spectra of SN 2010jp display an unprecedented triple-peaked Ha line profile, showing (1) a narrow (full width at half-maximum >rsim800 km s-1) central component that suggests shock interaction with dense circumstellar material (CSM); (2) high-velocity blue and red emission features centred at -12 600 and +15 400 km s-1, respectively; and (3) very broad wings extending from -22 000 to +25 000 km s-1. These features persist over multiple epochs during the similar to 100 d after explosion. We propose that this line profile indicates a bipolar jet-driven explosion, with the central component produced by normal SN ejecta and CSM interaction at mid and low latitudes, while the high-velocity bumps and broad-line wings arise in a non-relativistic bipolar jet. Two variations of the jet interpretation seem plausible: (1) a fast jet mixes 56Ni to high velocities in polar zones of the H-rich envelope; or (2) the reverse shock in the jet produces blue and red bumps in Balmer lines when a jet interacts with dense CSM. Jet-driven Type II SNe are predicted for collapsars resulting from a wide range of initial masses above 25 M?, especially at subsolar metallicity. This seems consistent with the SN host environment, which is either an extremely low-luminosity dwarf galaxy or the very remote parts of an interacting pair of star-forming galaxies. It also seems consistent with the apparently low 56Ni mass that may accompany black hole formation. We speculate that the jet survives to produce observable signatures because the stars H envelope was very low mass, having been mostly stripped away by the previous eruptive mass-loss indicated by the Type IIn features in the spectrum.

AB Current and upcoming wide-field, ground-based, broad-band imaging surveys promise to address a wide range of outstanding problems in galaxy formation and cosmology. Several such uses of ground-based data, especially weak gravitational lensing, require highly precise measurements of galaxy image statistics with careful correction for the effects of the point spread function (PSF). In this paper, we introduce the shera (SHEar Reconvolution Analysis) software to simulate ground-based imaging data with realistic galaxy morphologies and observing conditions, starting from space-based data (from the Cosmological Evolution Survey, COSMOS) and accounting for the effects of the space-based PSF. This code simulates ground-based data, optionally with a weak lensing shear applied, in a model-independent way using a general Fourier space formalism. The utility of this pipeline is that it allows for a precise, realistic assessment of systematic errors due to the method of data processing, for example in extracting weak lensing galaxy shape measurements or galaxy radial profiles, given user-supplied observational conditions and real galaxy morphologies. Moreover, the simulations allow for the empirical test of error estimates and determination of parameter degeneracies, via generation of many noise maps. The public release of this software, along with a large sample of cleaned COSMOS galaxy images (corrected for charge transfer inefficiency), should enable upcoming ground-based imaging surveys to achieve their potential in the areas of precision weak lensing analysis, galaxy profile measurement and other applications involving detailed image analysis.

AB To make full use of research data, the bioscience community needs to adopt technologies and reward mechanisms that support interoperability and promote the growth of an open 'data commoning' culture. Here we describe the prerequisites for data commoning and present an established and growing ecosystem of solutions using the shared 'Investigation-Study-Assay' framework to support that vision.

AB Understanding how polyhedra pack into extended arrangements is integral to the design and discovery of crystalline materials at all length scales(1-3). Much progress has been made in enumerating and characterizing the packing of polyhedral shapes(4-6), and the self-assembly of polyhedral nanocrystals into ordered superstructures(7-9). However, directing the self-assembly of polyhedral nanocrystals into densest packings requires precise control of particle shape(10), polydispersity(11), interactions and driving forces(12). Here we show with experiment and computer simulation that a range of nanoscale Ag polyhedra can self-assemble into their conjectured densest packings(6). When passivated with adsorbing polymer, the polyhedra behave as quasi-hard particles and assemble into millimetre-sized three-dimensional supercrystals by sedimentation. We also show, by inducing depletion attraction through excess polymer in solution, that octahedra form an exotic superstructure with complex helical motifs rather than the densest Minkowski lattice(13). Such large-scale Ag supercrystals may facilitate the design of scalable three-dimensional plasmonic metamaterials for sensing(14,15), nanophotonics(16) and photocatalysis(17).

AB Silicon is one of the most promising semiconductor materials for spin-based information processing devices(1,2). Its advanced fabrication technology facilitates the transition from individual devices to large-scale processors, and the availability of a Si-28 form with no magnetic nuclei overcomes a primary source of spin decoherence in many other materials(3,4). Nevertheless, the coherence lifetimes of electron spins in the solid state have typically remained several orders of magnitude lower than that achieved in isolated high-vacuum systems such as trapped ions(5). Here we examine electron spin coherence of donors in pure Si-28 material (residual Si-29 concentration <50 ppm) with donor densities of 10(14)-10(15) cm(-3). We elucidate three mechanisms for spin decoherence, active at different temperatures, and extract a coherence lifetime T-2 up to 2 s. In this regime, we find the electron spin is sensitive to interactions with other donor electron spins separated by similar to 200 nm. A magnetic field gradient suppresses such interactions, producing an extrapolated electron spin T-2 of 10 s at 1.8 K. These coherence lifetimes are without peer in the solid state and comparable to high-vacuum qubits, making electron spins of donors in silicon ideal components of quantum computers(2,6), or quantum memories for systems such as superconducting qubits(7-9).

AB The parametric ntPET model (p-ntPET) estimates the kinetics of neurotransmitter release from dynamic PET data with receptor-ligand radiotracers. Here we introduce a linearization (lp-ntPET) that is computationally efficient and can be applied to single scan data. lp-ntPET employs a non-invasive reference region input function and extends the LSRRM of Alpert et al. (2003) using basis functions to characterize the time course of neurotransmitter activation. In simulation studies, the temporal precision of neurotransmitter profiles estimated by lp-ntPET was similar to that of p-ntPET (standard deviation similar to 3 min for responses early in the scan) while computation time was reduced by several orders of magnitude. Violations of model assumptions such as activation-induced changes in regional blood flow or specific binding in the reference tissue have negligible effects on lp-ntPET performance. Application of the lp-ntPET method is demonstrated on [C-11] raclopride data acquired in rats receiving methamphetamine, which yielded estimated response functions that were in good agreement with simultaneous microdialysis measurements of extracellular dopamine concentration. These results demonstrate that lp-ntPET is a computationally efficient, linear variant of ntPET that can be applied to PET data from single or multiple scan designs to estimate the time course of neurotransmitter activation.

AB The community working on model organisms is growing steadily and the number of model organisms for which proteome data are being generated is continuously increasing. To standardize efforts and to make optimal use of proteomics data acquired from model organisms, a new Human Proteome Organisation (HUPO) initiative on model organism proteomes (iMOP) was approved at the HUPO Ninth Annual World Congress in Sydney, 2010. iMOP will seek to stimulate scientific exchange and disseminate HUPO best practices. The needs of model organism researchers for central databases will be better represented, catalyzing the integration of proteomics and organism-specific databases. Full details of iMOP activities, members, tools and resources can be found at our website and new members are invited to join us.

DE Crops; INPPO; Model plants; Plant proteomics; Tutorial
AB The International Plant Proteomics Organization (INPPO) is a non-profit-organization consisting of people who are involved or interested in plant proteomics. INPPO is constantly growing in volume and activity, which is mostly due to the realization among plant proteomics researchers worldwide for the need of such a global platform. Their active participation resulted in the rapid growth within the first year of INPPO's official launch in 2011 via its website () and publication of the Viewpoint paper in a special issue of PROTEOMICS (May 2011). Here, we will be highlighting the progress achieved in the year 2011 and the future targets for the year 2012 and onwards. INPPO has achieved a successful administrative structure, the Core Committee (CC; composed of President, Vice-President, and General Secretaries), Executive Council (EC), and General Body (GB) to achieve INPPO objectives. Various committees and subcommittees are in the process of being functionalized via discussion amongst scientists around the globe. INPPO's primary aim to popularize the plant proteomics research in biological sciences has also been recognized by PROTEOMICS where a section dedicated to plant proteomics has been introduced starting January 2012, following the very first issue of this journal devoted to plant proteomics in May 2011. To disseminate organizational activities to the scientific community, INPPO has launched a biannual (in January and July) newsletter entitled INPPO Express: News & Views with the first issue published in January 2012. INPPO is also planning to have several activities in 2012, including programs within the Education Outreach committee in different countries, and the development of research ideas and proposals with priority on crop and horticultural plants, while keeping tight interactions with proteomics programs on model plants such as Arabidopsis thaliana, rice, and Medicago truncatula. Altogether, the INPPO progress and upcoming activities are because of immense support, dedication, and hard work of all members of the INPPO community, and also due to the wide encouragement and support from the communities (scientific and non-scientific).

AB One of the current major driving forces behind instrument development in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is the ability to observe materials processes as they occur in situ within the microscope. For many processes, such as nucleation and growth, phase transformations and mechanical response under extreme conditions, the beam current in even the most advanced field emission TEM is insufficient to acquire images with the temporal resolution (similar to 1 mu s to 1 ns) needed to observe the fundamental interactions taking place. The dynamic transmission electron microscope (DIEM) avoids this problem by using a short pulse laser to create an electron pulse of the required duration through photoemission which contains enough electrons to form a complete high resolution image. The current state-of-the-art in high time resolution electron microscopy in this paper describes the development of the electron optics and detection schemes necessary to fully utilize these electron pulses for materials science. In addition, developments for future instrumentation and the experiments that are expected to be realized shortly will also be discussed. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB Thin-film photovoltaic modules hold great promise to produce sustainable, low-cost, and clean electricity from sunlight, because thin-film solar cells can potentially be fabricated by economical, high-volume manufacturing techniques. However, to achieve high sunlight-to-electricity conversion efficiency, thin-film solar cells require sophisticated control on interface formation and materials qualities. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) provides unique methods to access this information at the nanometer scale. In this paper, we provide a brief review on TEM studies of the interfaces, microstructure, and lattice defects in chalcogenide thin-film photovoltaic materials. We analyze the potential effects of the observed interface formation and materials quality that could affect the performance of solar cells. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Weathering of waste rock, high in S and Fe, had resulted in a varying elemental dispersal down a face of the tailings hill. Bacterial community assemblage, characterised by PCRDGGE fingerprinting, was significantly associated with electrical conductivity (E.C.) (? = 0.664; P < 0.01). Analysis of mobile salts showed that E.C. values were driven by ionic S, Zn, Cl and Al. The bacterial community assemblage was directly characterised across an E.C. gradient using an oligonucleotide microarray (PhyloChip). The dominant taxa at the site were Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria and Firmicutes; however, 37 phyla were detected. The most responsive taxa to variation in E.C. was Acidobacteria (negative correlation). Patterns of heterotrophic processes (BioLog analysis) were also best explained by variation in E.C. (? = 0.53; P < 0.01), showing a link between primary mineral weathering by lithotrophic bacteria and abiotic processes, and secondary biogeochemical processes by heterotrophic taxa. These data significantly broaden our knowledge of the bacteria present in metallomorphic ecosystems, establish that mobile phase elements are key drivers of community structure, and that primary biogeochemical cycling is directly influencing other geochemical interactions in the samples.

AB Dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) uptake by marine heterotrophic bacteria has important implications for the global nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) cycles. Bacterial nitrate utilization is more prevalent in the marine environment than traditionally thought, but the taxonomic identity of bacteria that utilize nitrate is difficult to determine using traditional methodologies. 15N-based DNA stable isotope probing was applied to document direct use of nitrate by heterotrophic bacteria on the West Florida Shelf. Seawater was incubated in the presence of 2 mu M 15N ammonium or 15N nitrate. DNA was extracted, fractionated via CsCl ultracentrifugation, and each fraction was analyzed by terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (TRFLP) analysis. TRFs that exhibited density shifts when compared to controls that had not received 15N amendments were identified by comparison with 16S rRNA gene sequence libraries. Relevant marine proteobacterial lineages, notably Thalassobacter and Alteromonadales, displayed evidence of 15N incorporation. RT-PCR and functional gene microarray analysis could not demonstrate the expression of the assimilatory nitrate reductase gene, nasA, but mRNA for dissimilatory pathways, i.e. nirS, nirK, narG, nosZ, napA, and nrfA was detected. These data directly implicate several bacterial populations in nitrate uptake, but suggest a more complex pattern for N flow than traditionally implied.

AB Phenology, by controlling the seasonal activity of vegetation on the land surface, plays a fundamental role in regulating photosynthesis and other ecosystem processes, as well as competitive interactions and feedbacks to the climate system. We conducted an analysis to evaluate the representation of phenology, and the associated seasonality of ecosystem-scale CO2 exchange, in 14 models participating in the North American Carbon Program Site Synthesis. Model predictions were evaluated using long-term measurements (emphasizing the period 20002006) from 10 forested sites within the AmeriFlux and Fluxnet-Canada networks. In deciduous forests, almost all models consistently predicted that the growing season started earlier, and ended later, than was actually observed; biases of 2 weeks or more were typical. For these sites, most models were also unable to explain more than a small fraction of the observed interannual variability in phenological transition dates. Finally, for deciduous forests, misrepresentation of the seasonal cycle resulted in over-prediction of gross ecosystem photosynthesis by +160 145 g C m-2 yr-1 during the spring transition period and +75 +/- 130 g C m-2 yr-1 during the autumn transition period (13% and 8% annual productivity, respectively) compensating for the tendency of most models to under-predict the magnitude of peak summertime photosynthetic rates. Models did a better job of predicting the seasonality of CO2 exchange for evergreen forests. These results highlight the need for improved understanding of the environmental controls on vegetation phenology and incorporation of this knowledge into better phenological models. Existing models are unlikely to predict future responses of phenology to climate change accurately and therefore will misrepresent the seasonality and interannual variability of key biosphereatmosphere feedbacks and interactions in coupled global climate models.

DE operational topics; minimum detectable activity; radiation safety;

AB Gamma walkover surveys are often performed by swinging the radiation detector (e.g., a 2-inch by 2-inch sodium iodide) in a serpentine pattern at a near constant height above the ground surface. The objective is to survey an approximate 1-m swath with 100% coverage producing an equal probability of detecting contamination at any point along the swing. In reality, however, the detector height will vary slightly along the swing path, and in some cases the detector may follow a pendulum-like motion significantly reducing the detector response and increasing the minimum detectable concentration. This paper quantifies relative detector responses for fixed and variable height swing patterns and demonstrates negative impacts on the minimum detectable concentration. Minimum detectable concentrations are calculated for multiple contaminated surface areas (0.1, 1.0, 3, 10, and 30 m(2)), multiple contaminants (Co-60, Cs-137, Am-241, and Ra-226), and two minimum heights (5 and 10 cm). Exposure rate estimates used in minimum detectable concentration calculations are produced using MicroShield (TM) v.7.02 (Grove Software, Inc., 4925 Boonsboro Road #257, Lynchberg, VA 24503) and MDCs are calculated as outlined in NUREG-1575. Results confirm a pendulum-like detector motion can significantly increase MDCs relative to a low flat trajectory, especially for small areas of elevated activity-up to a 47% difference is observed under worst-modeled conditions.

AB The composite resonator vertical cavity surface laser can perform multiple digital functionalities at greater than 10 GHz bandwidth, including: direct intensity modulation, wavelength division multiplexing, multilevel pulse amplitude modulation, and optical picosecond pulse generation. The unique attributes of these microcavity lasers arise from the two strongly coupled optical cavities which can be electrically injected independently. Reconfiguration among multiple functionalities is achieved by control of the three terminal signals input into the laser and can be achieved using a high-speed digital circuit whose logic can be adjusted to provide appropriate modulation voltages to the optically coupled laser cavities. The novel optical properties of composite resonators are reviewed with a focus on several different digital functionalities possible from this semiconductor laser.

AB Lateral gene transfer (LGT) is essential for generating between-strain genomic recombinants of Chlamydia trachomatis to facilitate the organism's evolution. Because there is no reliable laboratory-based gene transfer system for C. trachomatis, in vitro generation of recombinants from antibiotic-resistant strains is being used to study LGT. However, selection pressures imposed on in vitro recombinants likely affect statistical properties of recombination relative to naturally occurring clinical recombinants, including prevalence at particular loci. We examined multiple loci for 16 in vitro-derived recombinants of ofloxacin-and rifampin-resistant L(1) and D strains, respectively, grown with both antibiotics, and compared these with the same sequenced loci among 11 clinical recombinants. Breakpoints and recombination frequency were examined using phylogenetics, bioinformatics, and statistics. In vitro and clinical isolates clustered perfectly into two groups, without misclassification, using Ward's minimum variance based on breakpoint data. As expected, gyrA (confers ofloxacin resistance) and rpoB (confers rifampin resistance) had significantly more breakpoints among in vitro recombinants than among clinical recombinants (P < 0.0001 and P = 0.02, respectively, using the Wilcoxon rank sum test). Unexpectedly, trpA also had significantly more breakpoints for in vitro recombinants (P < 0.0001). There was also significant selection at other loci. The strongest bias was for ompA in strain D (P = 3.3 x 10(-8)). Our results indicate that the in vitro model differs statistically from natural recombination events. Additional genomic studies are needed to determine the factors responsible for the observed selection biases at unexpected loci and whether these are important for LGT to inform approaches for genetically manipulating C. trachomatis.

Mg1-xCuxCr2O4

DT Article
ID MGCR2O4; FRUSTRATION; CRYSTAL; SYSTEMS; CR2O3
AB We examine the evolution of magnetic properties in the normal spinel oxides Mg1-xCuxCr2O4 using magnetization and heat capacity measurements. The end-member compounds of the solid solution series have been studied in some detail because of their very interesting magnetic behavior. MgCr2O4 is a highly frustrated system that undergoes a first-order structural transition at its antiferromagnetic ordering temperature. CuCr2O4 is tetragonal at room temperature as a result of Jahn-Teller active tetrahedral Cu2+ and undergoes a magnetic transition at 135 K. Substitution of magnetic cations for diamagnetic Mg2+ on the tetrahedral A site in the compositional series Mg1-xCuxCr2O4 dramatically affects magnetic behavior. In the composition range 0 <= x <= approximate to 0.3, the compounds are antiferromagnetic. A sharp peak observed at 12.5 K in the heat capacity of MgCr2O4 corresponding to a magnetically driven first-order structural transition is suppressed even for small x. Uncompensated magnetism-with open magnetization loops-develops for samples in the x range approximate to 0.43 <= x <= 1. Multiple magnetic ordering temperatures and large coercive fields emerge in the intermediate composition range 0 : 43 <= x <= 0.47. The Neel temperature increases with increasing x across the series while the value of the Curie-Weiss (CW)-C-Theta decreases. A magnetic temperature-composition phase diagram of the solid solution series is presented.

TI Generation of a Parabolic Trough Collector Efficiency Curve From
Separate Measurements of Outdoor Optical Efficiency and Indoor Receiver
Heat Loss
SO JOURNAL OF SOLAR ENERGY ENGINEERING-TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASME
LA English
DT Article
DE heat losses; solar absorber-convertors; sunlight
AB The thermal efficiency of a parabolic trough collector is a function of both the fraction of direct normal radiation absorbed by the receiver (the optical efficiency) and the heat lost to the environment when the receiver is at operating temperature. The thermal efficiency can be determined by testing the collector under actual operating conditions or by separately measuring these two components. This paper describes how outdoor measurement of the optical efficiency is combined with laboratory measurements of receiver heat loss to obtain the thermal efficiency curve. This paper describes this approach and also makes the case that there are advantages to plotting collector efficiency versus the difference between the operating temperature and the ambient temperature at which the receiver heat loss was measured divided by radiation to a fractional power (on the order of 1/3 but obtained via data regression)-as opposed to the difference between operating and ambient temperatures divided by the radiation. The results are shown to be robust over wide ranges of ambient temperature, sky temperature, and wind speed. [DOI: 10.1115/1.4005247]

AB Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) leader proteinase (L(pro)) cleaves itself from the viral polyprotein and cleaves the translation initiation factor eIF4G. As a result, host cell translation is inhibited, affecting the host innate immune response. We have demonstrated that L(pro) is also associated with degradation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappa B), a process that requires L(pro) nuclear localization. Additionally, we reported that disruption of a conserved protein domain within the L(pro) coding sequence, SAP mutation, prevented L(pro) nuclear retention and degradation of NF-kappa B, resulting in in vitro attenuation. Here we report that inoculation of swine with this SAP-mutant virus does not cause clinical signs of disease, viremia, or virus shedding even when inoculated at doses 100-fold higher than those required to cause disease with wild-type (WT) virus. Remarkably, SAP-mutant virus-inoculated animals developed a strong neutralizing antibody response and were completely protected against challenge with WT FMDV as early as 2 days postinoculation and for at least 21 days postinoculation. Early protection correlated with a distinct pattern in the serum levels of proinflammatory cytokines in comparison to the levels detected in animals inoculated with WT FMDV that developed disease. In addition, animals inoculated with the FMDV SAP mutant displayed a memory T cell response that resembled infection with WT virus. Our results suggest that L(pro) plays a pivotal role in modulating several pathways of the immune response. Furthermore, manipulation of the L(pro) coding region may serve as a viable strategy to derive live attenuated strains with potential for development as effective vaccines against foot-and-mouth disease.

VIRULENCE; PANDEMIC H1N1; AMINO-ACID; HOST-RANGE; GENETIC COMPATIBILITY;
CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE
AB The emergence of new pandemic influenza A viruses requires overcoming barriers to cross-species transmission as viruses move from animal reservoirs into humans. This complicated process is driven by both individual gene mutations and genome reassortments. The viral polymerase complex, composed of the proteins PB1, PB2, and PA, is a major factor controlling host adaptation, and reassortment events involving polymerase gene segments occurred with past pandemic viruses. Here we investigate the ability of polymerase reassortment to restore the activity of an avian influenza virus polymerase that is normally impaired in human cells. Our data show that the substitution of human-origin PA subunits into an avian influenza virus polymerase alleviates restriction in human cells and increases polymerase activity in vitro. Reassortants with 2009 pandemic H1N1 PA proteins were the most active. Mutational analyses demonstrated that the majority of the enhancing activity in human PA results from a threonine-to-serine change at residue 552. Reassortant viruses with avian polymerases and human PA subunits, or simply the T552S mutation, displayed faster replication kinetics in culture and increased pathogenicity in mice compared to those containing a wholly avian polymerase complex. Thus, the acquisition of a human PA subunit, or the signature T552S mutation, is a potential mechanism to overcome the species-specific restriction of avian polymerases and increase virus replication. Our data suggest that the human, avian, swine, and 2009 H1N1-like viruses that are currently cocirculating in pig populations set the stage for PA reassortments with the potential to generate novel viruses that could possess expanded tropism and enhanced pathogenicity.

AB Degradation of electronic devices by hot electrons is universally attributed to the generation of defects, but the mechanisms for defect generation and the specific nature of the pertinent defects are not known for most systems. Here we describe three recent case studies in III-V high-electron-mobility transistors that illustrate the power of combining density functional calculations and experimental data to identify the pertinent defects and associated degradation mechanisms. In all cases, benign pre-existing defects are either depassivated (irreversible degradation) or transformed to a metastable state (reversible degradation). (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB The arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis is arguably the most ecologically important eukaryotic symbiosis, yet it is poorly understood at the molecular level. To provide novel insights into the molecular basis of symbiosis-associated traits, we report the first genome-wide analysis of the transcriptome from Glomus intraradices DAOM 197198. We generated a set of 25 906 nonredundant virtual transcripts (NRVTs) transcribed in germinated spores, extraradical mycelium and symbiotic roots using Sanger and 454 sequencing. NRVTs were used to construct an oligoarray for investigating gene expression. We identified transcripts coding for the meiotic recombination machinery, as well as meiosis-specific proteins, suggesting that the lack of a known sexual cycle in G.intraradices is not a result of major deletions of genes essential for sexual reproduction and meiosis. Induced expression of genes encoding membrane transporters and small secreted proteins in intraradical mycelium, together with the lack of expression of hydrolytic enzymes acting on plant cell wall polysaccharides, are all features of G.intraradices that are shared with ectomycorrhizal symbionts and obligate biotrophic pathogens. Our results illuminate the genetic basis of symbiosis-related traits of the most ancient lineage of plant biotrophs, advancing future research on these agriculturally and ecologically important symbionts.

AB Chloroflexus aurantiacus J-10-fl is a thermophilic green bacterium, a filamentous anoxygenic phototroph, and the model organism of the phylum Chloroflexi. We applied high-throughput, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry in a global quantitative proteomics investigation of C. aurantiacus cells grown under oxic (chemoorganoheterotrophically) and anoxic (photoorganoheterotrophically) redox states. Our global analysis identified 13,524 high-confidence peptides that matched to 1,286 annotated proteins, 242 of which were either uniquely identified or significantly increased in abundance under photoheterotrophic culture condition. Fifty-four of the 242 proteins are previously characterized photosynthesis-related proteins, including chlorosome proteins, proteins involved in the bacteriochlorophyll biosynthesis, 3-hydroxypropionate (3-OHP) CO2 fixation pathway, and components of electron transport chains. The remaining 188 proteins have not previously been reported. Of these, five proteins were found to be encoded by genes from a novel operon and observed only in photoheterotrophically grown cells. These proteins candidates may prove useful in further deciphering the phototrophic physiology of C. aurantiacus and other filamentous anoxygenic phototrophs.

AB A short study has been conducted to assess the performance of friction stir welded Mg/steel lap joints under dynamic loads. The major mode of failure was found to be top Mg sheet fracture. Crack initiation is noted to have taken place at the Mg/steel interface. The fatigue life of the joints is found to be significantly different than the fatigue data of the Mg alloy obtained from the literature. The reasons behind such a difference have been examined in this work.

AB The majority of in vitro studies characterizing the impact of engineered nanoparticles (NPs) on cells that line the respiratory tract were conducted in cells exposed to NPs in suspension. This approach introduces processes that are unlikely to occur during inhaled NP exposures in vivo, such as the shedding of toxic doses of dissolved ions. ZnO NPs are used extensively and pose significant sources for human exposure. Exposures to airborne ZnO NPs can induce adverse effects, but the relevance of the dissolved Zn(2+) to the observed effects in vivo is still unclear. Our goal was to mimic in vivo exposures to airborne NPs and decipher the contribution of the intact NP from the contribution of the dissolved ions to airborne ZnO NP toxicity. We established the exposure of alveolar type II epithelial cells to aerosolized NPs at the air-liquid interface (ALI) and compared the impact of aerosolized ZnO NPs and NPs in suspension at the same cellular doses, measured as the number of particles per cell. By evaluating membrane integrity and cell viability 6 and 24 h post-exposure, we found that aerosolized NPs induced toxicity at the ALI at doses that were in the same order of magnitude as doses required to induce toxicity in submersed cultures. In addition, distinct patterns of oxidative stress were observed in the two exposure systems. These observations unravel the ability of airborne ZnO NPs to induce toxicity without the contribution of dissolved Zn(2+) and suggest distinct mechanisms at the ALI and in submersed cultures.

DT Article

ID STORAGE
AB The injection of supercritical CO2 through wells into deep brine reservoirs is a topic of interest for geologic carbon sequestration. The injected CO2 is predominantly immiscible with the brine and its low density relative to brine leads to strong buoyancy effects. The displacement of brine by CO2 in general is a multidimensional, complex nonlinear problem that requires numerical methods to solve. The approximations of vertical equilibrium and complete gravity segregation (sharp interface) have been introduced to reduce the complexity and dimensionality of the problem. Furthermore, for the radial displacement process considered here, the problem can be formulated in terms of a similarity variable that reduces spatial and temporal dependencies to a single variable. However, the resulting ordinary differential equation is still nonlinear and exact solutions are not available. The existing analytical solutions are approximations limited to certain parameter ranges that become inaccurate over a large portion of the parameter space. Here, I use a matched boundary extrapolation method to provide much greater accuracy for analytical/semi-analytical approximations over the full parameter range.

AB Injecting CO2 into a subsurface formation causes a buildup of pressure in the vicinity of the injection well. While a large injection rate can reduce the cost associated with injection, an indefinitely large injection rate can result in excessive formation damage. To obtain an optimal injection rate without exceeding the safe pressure limits, one will like to have some knowledge of the transient pressure buildup characteristics resulting from a particular injection rate. While elaborate numerical simulations can provide reliable pressure buildup predictions, they require extensive knowledge about the formation, which is normally not available at the start of an injection process. To alleviate this problem, using some simplifying assumptions, we have developed a solution to predict the transient buildup of pressure resulting from injection of supercritical carbon dioxide from a partially penetrating well into a gas reservoir. The solution in space and time is first obtained in the Fourier-Laplace transform space, and then inverted back into real space (in cylindrical coordinates) and time. We use the solution to study pressure transient characteristics for different formation permeabilities and anisotropy ratios. Results obtained using the solution compared well with those from numerical simulations.

AB Xyloglucan endotransglycosylase/hydrolases (XTHs) are believed to modify the cell wall structure by cleaving a xyloglucan polymer and transferring the newly generated, potentially reducing, terminal to another xyloglucan. We report here the detailed analysis of 37 Populus trichocarpa XTH genes/proteins in their divergence in both the coding and 5' promoter regions. Our results show that the Populus XTH genes have experienced whole-genome and local duplications and pre- and post-speciation divergence. Genome-wide and segmental duplications seem to be dominant in subfamily I and III, while tandem duplication seems to be the major mechanism for the subfamily II expansion, which also has higher average ratios of K (a)/K (s) compared to those in subfamily I and III. There was a general lack of organ-specific gene expression. In contrast, the expression patterns in subfamily II varied in response to various hormone treatments, with II-A being up-regulated and II-B down-regulated after 2 h of hormone treatment. Expression for this subfamily was verified using the 1.5-kb PtXTH22 promoter that was fused with the GUS reporter gene and transformed into Arabidopsis. The PtXTH22 promoter contains auxin response element, ethylene insensitive 3-like factors, and brassinosteroid response cis-elements. Histochemical GUS staining of transgenic Arabidopsis seedlings confirmed that the PtXTH22 promoter was up-regulated by several hormones.

Therefore, agreement on a target sequence of sufficient diversity to resolve links between outbreaks is crucial. Although harmonization of laboratory methods is one of the keystone activities of networks that have the aim to identify common source norovirus outbreaks, this has proven difficult to accomplish, particularly in the international context. Here, we aimed at providing a method enabling identification of the genomic region informative of a common source norovirus outbreak by bio-informatic tools. The data set of 502 unique full length capsid gene sequences available from the public domain, combined with epidemiological data including linkage information was used to build over 3,000 maximum likelihood (ML) trees for different sequence lengths and regions. All ML trees were evaluated for robustness and specificity of clustering of known linked norovirus outbreaks against the background diversity of strains. Great differences were seen in the robustness of commonly used PCR targets for cluster detection. The capsid gene region spanning nucleotides 900-1,400 was identified as the region optimally substituting for the full length capsid region. Reliability of this approach depends on the quality of the background data set, and we recommend periodic reassessment of this growing data set. The approach may be applicable to multiple sequence-based data sets of other pathogens.

AB Humans have a dual nature. We are subject to the same natural laws and forces as other species yet dominate global ecology and exhibit enormous variation in energy use, cultural diversity, and apparent social organization. We suggest scientists tackle these challenges with a macroecological approachusing comparative statistical techniques to identify deep patterns of variation in large datasets and to test for causal mechanisms. We show the power of a metabolic perspective for interpreting these patterns and suggesting possible underlying mechanisms, one that focuses on the exchange of energy and materials within and among human societies and with the biophysical environment. Examples on human foraging ecology, life history, space use, population structure, disease ecology, cultural and linguistic diversity patterns, and industrial and urban systems showcase the power and promise of this approach.

AB An enzymatic reactor with lipase immobilized on a monolithic polymer support has been prepared and used to catalyze the transesterification of triacylglycerides into the fatty acid methyl esters commonly used for biodiesel. A design of experiments procedure was used to optimize the monolithic reactor with variables including control of the surface polarity of the monolith via variations in the length of the hydrocarbon chain in alkyl methacrylate monomer, time of grafting of 1-vinyl-4,4-dimethylazlactone used to activate the monolith, and time used for the immobilization of porcine lipase. Optimal conditions involved the use of a poly(stearyl methacrylate-co-ethylene dimethacrylate) monolith, grafted first with vinylazlactone, then treated with lipase for 2?h to carry out the immobilization of the enzyme. Best conditions for the transesterification of glyceryl tributyrate included a temperature of 37 degrees C and a 10?min residence time of the substrate in the bioreactor. The reactor did not lose its activity even after pumping through it a solution of substrate equaling 1,000 reactor volumes. This enzymatic reactor was also used for the transesterification of triacylglycerides from soybean oil to fatty acid methyl esters thus demonstrating the ability of the reactor to produce biodiesel.

AB Cellulose accessibilities of a set of hornified lignocellulosic substrates derived by drying the never dried pretreated sample and a set of differently pretreated lodgepople pine substrates, were evaluated using solute exclusion and protein adsorption methods. Direct measurements of cellulase adsorption onto cellulose surface of the set of pretreated substrates were also carried out using an in situ UVVis spectrophotometric technique. The cellulose accessibilities measured by the solute exclusion and a cellulose-binding module (CBM)-containing green fluorescent protein (TGC) adsorption methods correlate well for both sets of samples. The substrate enzymatic digestibilities (SEDs) of the hornified substrates are proportional to the measured cellulose accessibilities. Approximately over 90% of the SED was contributed by the accessible pore surfaces of the hornified substrates, suggesting that the substrate external surface plays a minor role contributing to cellulose accessibility and SED. The cellulose accessibilities of the pretreated substrates correlated well with the amounts of cellulase adsorbed. The SEDs of these substrates directly correlated with the amounts of adsorbed cellulase. Biotechnol. Bioeng. 2012; 109:381389. (c) 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

AB We discuss the hydrolysis of cellulose using a pure cellulase: endo-1,4-beta-D-glucanase (EG) from the fungus, Aspergillus niger, in buffer, the pure ionic liquid (IL), tris-(2-hydroxyethyl)-methylammonium methylsulfate (HEMA), and various mixtures of the two at different temperatures. Steady-state fluorescence and absorbance studies were performed to monitor the stability and activity of EG using cellulose azure as the substrate. EG attains its highest activity at 45 degrees C in buffer and denatures at similar to 55 degrees C. On the other hand, HEMA imparts substantial stability to the enzyme, permitting the activity to peak at 75 degrees C. The relative roles of temperature, viscosity, pH, polarity, and the constituent ions of the ILs on the hydrolysis reaction are examined. It is demonstrated that pretreatment of cellulose with ILs such as BMIM Cl, MIM Cl, and HEMA results in more rapid conversion to glucose than hydrolysis with cellulose that is not pretreated. The percent conversion to glucose from pretreated cellulose is increased when the temperature is increased from 45 to 60 degrees C. Two different ILs are used to increase the efficiency of cellulose conversion to glucose. Cellulose is pretreated with BMIM Cl. Subsequent hydrolysis of the pretreated cellulose in 1020% solutions of HEMA in buffer provides higher yields of glucose at 60 degrees C. Finally, to our knowledge, this is the first study dealing with a pure endoglucanase from commercial A. niger. This enzyme not only shows higher tolerance to ILs, such as HEMA, but also has enhanced thermostability in the presence of the IL. Biotechnol. Bioeng. 2012; 109:434443.

AB The effects of algae concentration, ferric chloride dose, and pH on the flocculation efficiency of the freshwater algae Chlorella zofingiensis can be understood by considering the nature of the electrostatic charges on the algae and precipitate surfaces. Two critical conditions are identified which, when met, result in flocculation efficiencies in excess of 90% for freshwater algae. First, a minimum concentration of ferric chloride is required to overcome the electrostatic stabilization of the algae and promote bridging of algae cells by hydroxide precipitates. At low algae concentrations, the minimum amount of ferric chloride required increases linearly with algae concentration, characteristic of flocculation primarily through electrostatic bridging by hydroxide precipitates. At higher algae concentrations, the minimum required concentration of ferric chloride for flocculation is independent of algae concentration, suggesting a change in the primary flocculation mechanism from bridging to sweep flocculation. Second, the algae must have a negative surface charge. Experiments and surface complexation modeling show that the surface charge of C. zofingiensis is negative above a pH of 4.0?+/-?0.3 which agrees well with the minimum pH required for effective flocculation. These critical flocculation criteria can be extended to other freshwater algae to design effective flocculation systems. Biotechnol. Bioeng. 2012; 109:493501. (c) 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

AB The observation that the hydrothermal conversion of cellulose I alpha to cellulose I beta is irreversible has been assumed to be due to the relative free energy of these polymorph phases. We propose an alternative explanation: when cooling the high temperature phase, the barrier to forming I beta is much smaller than the barrier to forming I alpha, so kinetics favor the formation of I beta. This explanation is consistent with all available experimental data, and is consistent with the general observation of polymer solid-solid phase transformations via metastable intermediate states. While cellulose I beta may be lower in free energy than I alpha, this has not been shown experimentally. Phase transformations of other cellulose polymorphs may be subject to similar kinetic effects when converted via metastable intermediate states.

AB The high-temperature bromine chemistry was updated and the inhibition mechanisms involving HBr and Br-2 were re-examined. The thermochemistry of the bromine species was obtained using the Active Thermochemical Tables (ATcT) approach, resulting in improved data for, among others, Br, HBr, HOBr and BrO. Ab initio calculations were used to obtain rate coefficients for selected reactions of HBr and HOBr, and the hydrogen/bromine/oxygen reaction mechanism was updated. The resulting model was validated against selected experimental data from the literature and used to analyze the effect of HBr and Br-2 on laminar, premixed hydrogen flames. Our work shows that hydrogen bromide and molecular bromine act differently as inhibitors in flames. For HBr, the reaction HBr + H (sic) H-2 + Br (R2) is rapidly equilibrated, depleting HBr in favor of atomic Br, which is the major bromine species throughout the reaction zone. The chain-breaking steps are then H + Br + M --> HBr + M (R1), Br + HO2 --> HBr + O-2 (R7), and Br + Br + M --> Br-2 + M (R8). In Br-2-doped flames, the reaction Br-2 + H (sic) HBr + Br (R9) is far from equilibration and serves to deplete H in the reaction zone by competing with H + O-2 --> O + OH. The inhibition is augmented by recombination of Br (R8). If the inlet Br-2 mole fraction exceeds about 20%, reactions (R8) and (R2) are both reversed, now acting to promote chain branching and increase the flame speed. According to the present model, cycles involving HOBr are not important for generation or removal of chain carriers in these flames. (C) 2011 The Combustion Institute. Published by Elsevier Inc.

FX To the authors' knowledge, this is the last paper co-authored by Graham
Dixon-Lewis, whose death has deprived the combustion community of one of
its finest scientists and most beloved colleagues. Graham had been
working earlier on flame inhibition by bromine species (Refs. 30-32) and
this topic still had his interest. After the PG plenary on the impact of
trace species in combustion at the 31st international symposium in
Heidelberg in 2006 (Ref. 6), Graham took the initiative for the present
work. Together with PG, he defined the scope of the work, chose the
experiments to take into consideration, and participated in the
preliminary modeling. After his death, the group of collaborators was
expanded to enhance the quality of the model and resolve issues with the
flame calculations. The work at Argonne National Laboratory was
supported by the US Department of Energy, Office of Basic Energy
Sciences, Division of Chemical Sciences, Geosciences and Biosciences
under Contract No. DE-AC02-06CH11357. Portions of this research are
related to the effort of the Task Group of the International Union of
Pure and Applied Chemistry, "Selected Free Radicals and Critical
Intermediates: Thermodynamic Properties from Theory and Experiment"
(IUPAC Project 2003-024-1-100). The UNT work was supported by the Robert
A. Welch Foundation (Grant B-1174) and used computational facilities
purchased with a National Science Foundation grant (CHE-0741936).

AB Gas-phase ignition delay times were measured behind reflected shock waves for a wide variety of low-vapor-pressure fuels. These gas-phase measurements, without the added convolution with evaporation times, were made possible by using an aerosol shock tube. The fuels studied include three large normal alkanes, n-decane, n-dodecane and n-hexadecane; one large methyl ester, methyl decanoate; and several diesel fuels, DF-2, with a range of cetane indices from 42 to 55. The reflected shock conditions of the experiments covered temperatures from 838 to 1381 K. pressures from 1.71 to 8.63 atm, oxygen concentrations from 1 to 21%, and equivalence ratios from 0.1 to 2. Ignition delay times were measured using sidewall pressure, IR laser absorption by fuel at 3.39 mu m, and CH* and OH* emission. Measurements are compared to previous studies using heated shock tubes and current models. Model simulations show similar trends to the current measurement except in the case of n-dodecane/21% O(2)/argon experiments. At higher temperatures, e.g. 1250 K. the measured ignition delay times for these mixtures are significantly longer in lean mixtures than in rich mixtures; current models predict the opposite trend. As well, the current measurements show significantly shorter ignition delay times for rich mixtures than the model predictions. (C) 2011 The Combustion Institute. Published by Elsevier Inc.

AB To better understand in-cylinder soot formation processes for modern, low-emissions, low-temperature combustion (LTC) operating conditions in diesel engines, soot and its precursors are imaged by laser diagnostics in a heavy duty optical engine. Virtually simultaneous images of planar laser-induced incandescence of soot (soot-PLII) using 1064 nm excitation and combined soot-PLII and planar laser-induced fluorescence of poly-cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH-PLIF) using 532 nm excitation reveal the temporal and spatial evolution of soot and its precursors during combustion. With increasing dilution of the intake air stream by various levels of nitrogen to simulate the use of exhaust-gas recirculation (EGR) to achieve LTC, the residence time of PAH increases as soot formation is delayed. At zero dilution (21% intake oxygen), soot appears nearly simultaneously with PAH, while at higher dilution (12.7% or 9.5% intake oxygen), soot formation is delayed by hundreds of microseconds to a millisecond or more. At all dilution levels, at its onset, PAH rapidly fills most of the downstream cross-section of the jet, with a relatively uniform fluorescence intensity distribution. The spatial evolution of soot, however, shifts from a relatively rapid filling of the downstream head of the jet at low dilution, to inception at the midstream periphery of the jet followed by a gradual progression downstream at high dilution. Effects of fuel-bound aromatics are also explored by comparing soot and PAH formation for a representative diesel fuel containing 27% aromatics by weight to that for neat n-heptane. The residence time of PAH before the onset of soot is slightly longer with the non-aromatic fuel, but otherwise the spatial and temporal evolution of PAH-PLIF and soot-PLII are indistinguishable from that of the diesel fuel at LTC conditions. Spectral analysis shows a characteristic soot emission spectra from 1064 nm excitation, while 532 nm excitation yields significant short-wavelength emission that cannot be attributed solely to soot incandescence, and is likely due to fluorescence of large PAH soot precursors. No narrow spectral features, such as from C2 or C3 emission, are apparent in the spectra, even at high laser fluence. Published by Elsevier Inc. on behalf of The Combustion Institute.

AB The primary goal of this research is to create a database of fire signatures for practical spacecraft materials in a new combustion facility and to provide recommendations for the development of improved fire sensors for future space exploration. During a fire, foams and plastics can generate three types of residues: condensables, light gases, and particulates (soots). The residues were characterized by gas chromatography (GC), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). These analyses were performed as a function of oxygen occurrence, temperature, and convective flow direction relative to the normal gravitational vector. Among the four polymers studied in this work, forced convective flow direction has a great impact upon particulate yield. Variation of light gases with temperature and different atmospheres turn out to be more convoluted. Particulates can be used as fire signature for most of the materials; nevertheless no single species serves as a reliable indicator for any given material. (C) 2011 The Combustion Institute.

AB The use of global address space languages and one-sided communication for complex applications is gaining attention in the parallel computing community. However, lack of good evaluative methods to observe multiple levels of performance makes it difficult to isolate the cause of performance deficiencies and to understand the fundamental limitations of system and application design for future improvement. NWChem is a popular computational chemistry package, which depends on the Global Arrays/Aggregate Remote Memory Copy Interface suite for partitioned global address space functionality to deliver high-end molecular modeling capabilities. A workload characterization methodology was developed to support NWChem performance engineering on large-scale parallel platforms. The research involved both the integration of performance instrumentation and measurement in the NWChem software, as well as the analysis of one-sided communication performance in the context of NWChem workloads. Scaling studies were conducted for NWChem on Blue Gene/P and on two large-scale clusters using different generation Infiniband interconnects and x86 processors. The performance analysis and results show how subtle changes in the runtime parameters related to the communication subsystem could have significant impact on performance behavior. The tool has successfully identified several algorithmic bottlenecks, which are already being tackled by computational chemists to improve NWChem performance.

AB Culture-dependent and -independent approaches were employed to identify the bacterial community structure from olive-mill wastewater produced from three olive-fruit varieties. The 233 bacterial isolates recovered were phylogenetically related to 38 members of Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, alpha-Proteobacteria, beta-Proteobacteria, gamma-Proteobacteria, and Bacteroidetes. Employing a novel microarray-based approach (PhyloChip) a high bacterial diversity was revealed consisting of 18 different phyla with representatives from 99 different families. The bacterial diversity in olive-mill wastewater from the three olive tree varieties was dominated by alpha-, beta-, gamma-, delta-, epsilon-Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Chloroflexi, Cyanobacteria, and Actinobacteria. This in-depth analysis of the indigenous microbiota indicated a cultivar-specific bacterial profile. Interestingly, the common bacterial taxa present in all three varieties examined were restricted indicating that the bacterial communities present in the olive-mill wastewater are greatly influenced by the olive-fruit variety.

AB The interactions of physical processes between estuaries and upstream river floodplains are of great importance to the fish habitats and ecosystems in coastal regions. Traditionally, a hydraulic analysis of floodplains has used one- or two-dimensional models. While this approach may be sufficient for planning the engineering design for flood protection, it is inadequate when floodwaters inundate the floodplain in a complex manner. Similarly, typical estuarine and coastal modeling studies do not consider the effect of upstream river floodplains because of the technical challenge of modeling wetting and drying processes in floodplains and higher bottom elevations in the upstream river domain. While various multi-scale model frameworks have been proposed for modeling the coastal oceans, estuaries, and rivers with a combination of different models, this paper presents a modeling approach for simulating the hydrodynamics in the estuary and river floodplains, which provides a smooth transition between the two regimes using an unstructured-grid, coastal ocean model. This approach was applied to the Skagit River estuary and its upstream river floodplain of Puget Sound along the northwest coast of North America. The model was calibrated with observed data for water levels and velocities under low-flow and high-flood conditions. This study successfully demonstrated that a three-dimensional estuarine and coastal ocean model with an unstructured-grid framework and wetting-drying capability can be extended much further upstream to simulate the inundation processes and the dynamic interactions between the estuarine and river floodplain regimes.

DT Article
DE contamination; detector; radiation; gamma radiation; radiation dose
AB RadBall (TM) is a novel technology that can locate unknown radioactive hazards within contaminated areas, hot cells, and gloveboxes. The device consists of a colander-like outer tungsten collimator that houses a radiation-sensitive polymer semisphere. The collimator has a number of small holes; as a result, specific areas of the polymer are exposed to radiation, becoming increasingly more opaque in proportion to the absorbed dose. The polymer semisphere is imaged in an optical computed tomography scanner that produces a high resolution three-dimensional map of optical attenuation coefficients. A subsequent analysis of the optical attenuation data, using a reverse ray tracing technique, provides information on the spatial distribution of gamma-ray sources in a given area, forming a three-dimensional characterization of the area of interest. The RadBall (TM) technology and its reverse ray tracing technique were investigated using known radiation sources at the Savannah River Site's Health Physics Instrument Calibration Laboratory and unknown sources at the Savannah River National Laboratory's Shielded Cells facility.

AB A novel family of titanium alkoxides with two stable pyridinemethoxide moieties bound to a titanium metal center were synthesized and tested for cytotoxic activity on a variety of cancer cell lines using colony formation assays. One compound, (OPy)(2)Ti(4AP)(2), where OPy is NC5H5CH2O-, and 4AP is 4-aminophenoxide (-OC6H5(NH2)-4), demonstrated increased cytotoxicity in breast, colon, and pancreatic cancer cell lines at 100 nanomolar levels with only short exposures. Further, (OPy)(2)Ti(4AP)(2) had activity in colon and pancreatic cancer cell lines that are usually resistant to chemotherapy. This demonstrates that these titanium compounds may have a role in anti-cancer therapy, similar to platinum-based compounds, and the (OPy)(2)Ti(4AP)(2) compound specifically deserves further investigation as an anti-cancer agent in chemo-resistant solid tumors.

AB Among animals, insects have the highest mass-specific metabolic rates; yet, during intermolt development the tracheal respiratory system cannot meet the increased oxygen demand of older stage insects. Using locomotory performance indices, whole body respirometry, and X-ray imaging to visualize the respiratory system, we tested the hypothesis that due to the rigid exoskeleton, an increase in body mass during the intermolt period compresses the air-filled tracheal system, thereby, reducing oxygen delivery capacity in late stage insects. Specifically, we measured air sac ventilation frequency, size, and compressibility in both the abdomen and femur of early, middle, and late stage sixth instar Schistocerca americana grasshoppers. Our results show that late stage grasshoppers have a reduced air sac ventilation frequency in the femur and decreased convective capacities in the abdomen and femur. We also used X-ray images of the abdomen and femur to calculate the total proportion of tissue dedicated to respiratory structure during the intermolt period. We found that late stage grasshoppers had a lower proportion of their body dedicated to respiratory structures, especially air sacs, which convectively ventilate the tracheal system. These intermolt changes make oxygen delivery more challenging to the tissues, especially critical ones such as the jumping muscle. Indeed, late stage grasshoppers showed reduced jump frequencies compared to early stage grasshoppers, as well as decreased mass-specific CO(2) emission rates at 3 kPa PO(2). Our findings provide a mechanism to explain how body mass changes during the intermolt period reduce oxygen delivery capacity and alter an insect's life history.

AB A robotic lamprey, based on the silver lamprey, Ichthyomyzon unicuspis, was used to investigate the influence of passive tail flexibility on the wake structure and thrust production during anguilliform swimming. A programmable microcomputer actuated 11 servomotors that produce a traveling wave along the length of the lamprey body. The waveform was based on kinematic studies of living lamprey, and the shape of the tail was taken from a computer tomography scan of the silver lamprey. The tail was constructed of flexible PVC gel, and nylon inserts were used to change its degree of flexibility. Particle image velocimetry measurements using three different levels of passive flexibility show that the large-scale structure of the wake is dominated by the formation of two pairs of vortices per shedding cycle, as seen in the case of a tail that flexed actively according to a pre-defined kinematic pattern, and did not bend in response to fluid forces. When the tail is passively flexible, however, the large structures are composed of a number of smaller vortices, and the wake loses coherence as the degree of flexibility increases. Momentum balance calculations indicate that, at a given tailbeat frequency, increasing the tail flexibility yields less net force, but changing the cycle frequency to match the resonant frequency of the tail increases the force production.

AB To assess the relationships of lipoprotein mass concentrations to all-cause and coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality, we analyzed the prospective 53-year follow-up of 1,905 men measured for lipoprotein mass concentrations by analytic ultracentrifugation between 1954 and 1957. Cause of death was determined from medical records and death certificates before 1979 and from National Death Index death diagnoses thereafter. Of the 1,329 men (69.8%) who died through 2008, CHD was listed as a contributing cause of death for 409 men, including 113 deaths from premature CHD (age <= 65 years). When adjusted for age, the risk associated with the lowest HDL2 quartile increased 22% for all-cause (P = 0.001), 63% for total CHD (P < 10(-5)), and 117% for premature CHD mortality (P = 0.0001). When adjusted for standard risk factors (age, total cholesterol, blood pressure, BMI, smoking) and the lowest HDL3 quartile, the corresponding risk increases were 14% (P = 0.05), 38% (P = 0.004), and 62% (P = 0.02), respectively. Men with HDL3 <= 25th percentile had 28% greater total CHD risk (P = 0.03) and 71% greater premature CHD risk (P = 0.01). Higher LDL-mass concentrations increased total CHD risk by 3.8% (P < 10(-9)) and premature CHD risk by 6.1% (P < 10(-7)) per 10 mg/dl increase in concentration. Thus, low HDL2 is associated with increased CHD risk.-Williams, P. T. Fifty-three year follow-up of coronary heart disease versus HDL2 and other lipoproteins in Gofman's Livermore Cohort. J.

TI Vacuum-tight sample transfer stage for a scanning electron microscopic
study of stabilized lithium metal particles
SO JOURNAL OF MATERIALS SCIENCE
LA English
DT Article
AB A vacuum-tight transfer stage is described, that enables air or moisture sensitive specimens to be safely transferred from a protective environment, like that in a dry box, to a scanning electron microscope without exposing the sample to ambient conditions. The transfer stage concept described here is, in fact, applicable to the protected transfer of hygroscopic or air-sensitive samples to any vacuum-based analysis equipment where the transfer device opens automatically under vacuum to reveal the sample. This device concept is also applicable to the transfer of samples under vacuum from one glove box to another where the transfer chamber can be easily opened manually to reveal the sample. An example of one application of the device is provided by a controlled exposure study of stabilized lithium metal particles (SLMP) at various stages of shelf life. We found that a reaction coating formed on "fresh" SLMP after it was exposed to 100 Pa air for as short as 15 m. Such a reaction to air exposure was not observed on "aged" SLMP with a thickened carbonate surface coating after 4 and 6 months of shelf life. The case study of the surface coating on SLMP clearly demonstrated the excellent vacuum performance of the novel transfer stage.

TI Proactive process-level live migration and back migration in HPC
environments
SO JOURNAL OF PARALLEL AND DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING
LA English
DT Article
DE Live migration; Back migration; Fault tolerance; High-performance
computing; Health monitoring
AB As the number of nodes in high-performance computing environments keeps increasing, faults are becoming common place. Reactive fault tolerance (FT) often does not scale due to massive I/O requirements and relies on manual job resubmission.
This work complements reactive with proactive FT at the process level. Through health monitoring, a subset of node failures can be anticipated when one's health deteriorates. A novel process-level live migration mechanism supports continued execution of applications during much of process migration. This scheme is integrated into an MPI execution environment to transparently sustain health-inflicted node failures, which eradicates the need to restart and requeue MPI jobs. Experiments indicate that 1-6.5 s of prior warning are required to successfully trigger live process migration while similar operating system virtualization mechanisms require 13-24s. This self-healing approach complements reactive FT by nearly cutting the number of checkpoints in half when 70% of the faults are handled proactively. The work also provides a novel back migration approach to eliminate load imbalance or bottlenecks caused by migrated tasks. Experiments indicate the larger the amount of outstanding execution, the higher the benefit due to back migration. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

AB We report far-field experimental optical extinction spectra of linear chains of gold nanocylinders with interparticle separations close to the particle's surface plasmon resonance (SPR) wavelength lambda(SPR). The spectra reveal non-monotonic shift of the SPR peak position with increase in the distance d. The non-monotonic lambda(SPR)(d) dependence is rationalized considering electromagnetic coupling between the particles in the dipole approximation. Simple expressions for the modified SPR frequencies are obtained using the dipole scattered field and taking into account both the retardation and phase lag effects.

TI Moving Beyond Nondestructive Examination to Proactive Management of
Materials Degradation
SO JOURNAL OF PRESSURE VESSEL TECHNOLOGY-TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASME
LA English
DT Article
ID PROGNOSTICS
AB There is growing interest in life extensions to enable longer term operation (LTO) for both existing nuclear power plants (NPPs) and proposed new NPPs. In order to justify an initial license extension for the 40-60 yr period, new nondestructive examination (NDE) approaches have been developed and deployed by NPP operators in their aging management programs. However, to achieve the goals of even longer term operation, and specifically for the United States in looking at methodologies to support subsequent license renewal periods (i.e., 60-80 yr and beyond), it is necessary to understand the capabilities of current NDE methods to detect, monitor, and trend degradation and hence enable timely implementation of appropriate mitigation and corrective actions. This paper discusses insights from past experience, the state-of-the-art, and current activities in the move toward providing a capacity for proactive management of materials degradation to support NPP LTO.

AB Laboratory tests were conducted to determine the fatigue performance of abrasive-waterjet- (AWJ-) machined aircraft titanium. Dog-bone specimens machined with AWJs were prepared and tested with and without sanding and dry-grit blasting with Al(2)O(3) as the secondary processes. The secondary processes were applied to remove the visual appearance of AWJ-generated striations and to clean up the garnet embedment. The fatigue performance of AWJ-machined specimens was compared with baseline specimens machined with Computer Numerical Control (CNC) milling. Fatigue test results of the titanium specimens not only confirmed our previous findings in aluminum dog-bone specimens but also further enhanced the fatigue performance of the titanium. In addition, titanium is known to be difficult to cut, particularly for thick parts, however, AWJs cut the material 34% faster than stainless steel. AWJ cutting and dry-grit blasting are shown to be a preferred combination for processing aircraft titanium that is fatigue critical. [DOI: 10.1115/1.4004834]

TI Residual Stress Measurements of Explosively Clad Cylindrical Pressure
Vessels
SO JOURNAL OF PRESSURE VESSEL TECHNOLOGY-TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASME
LA English
DT Article
DE autofrettage; residual stress; neutron diffraction; slitting;
explosively clad
AB Tantalum refractory liners were explosively clad into cylindrical pressure vessels, some of which had been previously autofrettaged. Using explosive cladding, the refractory liner formed a metallurgical bond with the steel of the pressure vessel at a cost of induced strain. Two techniques were employed to determine the residual stress state of the clad steel cylinders: neutron diffraction and mechanical slitting. Neutron diffraction is typically nondestructive; however, due to attenuation along the beam path, the cylinders had to be sectioned into rings that were nominally 25 mm thick. Slitting is a destructive method, requiring the sectioning of the cylindrical samples. Both techniques provided triaxial stress data and useful information on the effects of explosive cladding. The stress profiles in the hoop and radial directions were similar for an autofrettaged, nonclad vessel and a clad, nonautofrettaged vessel. The stress profiles in the axial direction appeared to be different. Further, the data suggested that residual stresses from the autofrettage and explosive cladding processes were not additive, in part due to evidence of reverse yielding. The residual stress data are presented, compared and discussed. [DOI: 10.1115/1.4004615]

TI Numerical Analysis of JNES Seismic Tests on Degraded Combined Piping
System
SO JOURNAL OF PRESSURE VESSEL TECHNOLOGY-TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASME
LA English
DT Article
DE seismic analysis; piping system; cracked-pipe element; crack growth;
experimental validation; fatigue damage
AB Nuclear power plant safety under seismic conditions is an important consideration. The piping systems may have some defects caused by fatigue, stress corrosion cracking, etc., in aged plants. These cracks may not only affect the seismic response but also grow and break through causing loss of coolant. Therefore, an evaluation method needs to be developed to predict crack growth behavior under seismic excitation. This paper describes efforts conducted to analyze and better understand a series of degraded pipe tests under seismic loading that was conducted by Japan Nuclear Energy Safety Organization (JNES). A special "cracked-pipe element" (CPE) concept, where the element represented the global moment-rotation response due to the crack, was developed. This approach was developed to significantly simplify the dynamic finite element analysis in fracture mechanics fields. In this paper, model validation was conducted by comparisons with a series of pipe tests with circumferential through-wall and surface cracks under different excitation conditions. These analyses showed that reasonably accurate predictions could be made using the abaqus connector element to model the complete transition of a circumferential surface crack to a through-wall crack under cyclic dynamic loading. The JNES primary loop recirculation piping test was analyzed in detail. This combined-component test had three crack locations and multiple applied simulated seismic block loadings. Comparisons were also made between the ABAQUS finite element (FE) analyses results to the measured displacements in the experiment. Good agreement was obtained, and it was confirmed that the simplified modeling is applicable to a seismic analysis for a cracked pipe on the basis of fracture mechanics. Pipe system leakage did occur in the JNES tests. The analytical predictions using the CPE approach did not predict leakage, suggesting that cyclic ductile tearing with large-scale plasticity was not the crack growth mode for the acceleration excitations considered here. Hence, the leakage was caused by low-cycle fatigue with small-scale yielding. The procedure used to make predictions of low-cycle fatigue crack growth with small-scale yielding was based on the Dowling Delta J procedure, which is an extension of linear-elastic fatigue crack growth methodology into the nonlinear plasticity region. The predicted moments from the CPE approach were used using a cycle-by-cycle crack growth procedure. The predictions compare quite well with the experimental measurements. [DOI: 10.1115/1.4005055]

ID ORTHONORMAL EXPANSION; SPECTRA
AB In the field of radiation effects in materials, a detailed and precise description of the radiation environment used to damage samples is often required to make sense of subsequent materials analysis. The types of reactions and extent of damage that occur during irradiation strongly depend on the flux spectrum of the particular facility. Different neutron activation techniques for characterizing neutron flux spectra were performed on the University of Texas at Austin TRIGA research reactor's in-core facilities. The results were compared in terms of spectral detail and precision. Activation of Au foils with multiple correction factors, and multiple foil activation employing different deconvolution techniques comprise the methods tested.

AB A preconditioning approach is developed that enables efficient polynomial chaos (PC) representations of uncertain dynamical systems. The approach is based on the definition of an appropriate multiscale stretching of the individual components of the dynamical system which, in particular, enables robust recovery of the unscaled transient dynamics. Efficient PC representations of the stochastic dynamics are then obtained through non-intrusive spectral projections of the stretched measures. Implementation of the present approach is illustrated through application to a chemical system with large uncertainties in the reaction rate constants. Computational experiments show that, despite the large stochastic variability of the stochastic solution, the resulting dynamics can be efficiently represented using sparse low-order PC expansions of the stochastic multiscale preconditioner and of stretched variables. The present experiences are finally used to motivate several strategies that promise to yield further advantages in spectral representations of stochastic dynamics.

AB Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is a C4 perennial grass and has been identified as a potential bioenergy crop for cellulosic ethanol because of its rapid growth rate, nutrient use efficiency and widespread distribution throughout North America. The improvement of bioenergy feedstocks is needed to make cellulosic ethanol economically feasible, and genetic engineering of switchgrass is a promising approach towards this goal. A crucial component of creating transgenic switchgrass is having the capability of transforming the explants with DNA sequences of interest using vector constructs. However, there are limited options with the monocot plant vectors currently available. With this in mind, a versatile set of Gateway-compatible destination vectors (termed pANIC) was constructed to be used in monocot plants for transgenic crop improvement. The pANIC vectors can be used for transgene overexpression or RNAi-mediated gene suppression. The pANIC vector set includes vectors that can be utilized for particle bombardment or Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. All the vectors contain (i) a Gateway cassette for overexpression or silencing of the target sequence, (ii) a plant selection cassette and (iii) a visual reporter cassette. The pANIC vector set was functionally validated in switchgrass and rice and allows for high-throughput screening of sequences of interest in other monocot species as well.

AB BACKGROUND Nomograms for biochemical recurrence (BCR) of prostate cancer (PC) after radical prostatectomy can yield very different prognoses for individual patients. Since the nomograms are optimized on different cohorts, the variations may be due to differences in patient risk-factor distributions. In addition, the nomograms assign different relative scores to the same PC risk factors and rarely stratify for tumor growth rate.

AB Past mining and processing of uranium ore at a former uranium mining site near Monument Valley, AZ has resulted in nitrate contamination of groundwater. The objective of this study was to investigate the potential of ethanol addition for enhancing the reduction of nitrate in groundwater. The results of two pilot-scale field tests showed that the concentration of nitrate decreased, while the concentration of nitrous oxide (a product of denitrification) increased. In addition, changes in aqueous concentrations of sulfate, iron, and manganese indicated that the ethanol amendment caused a change in prevailing redox conditions. The results of compound-specific stable isotope analysis for nitrate-nitrogen indicated that the nitrate concentration reductions were biologically mediated. Denitrification rate coefficients estimated for the pilot tests were approximately 50 times larger than resident-condition (non-enhanced) values obtained from prior characterization studies conducted at the site. The nitrate concentrations in the injection zone have remained at levels three orders of magnitude below the initial values for many months, indicating that the ethanol amendments had a long-term impact on the local subsurface environment.

AB Aim: Recent advances in quantitative methods and sensitive imaging techniques of trace elements provide opportunities to uncover and explain their biological roles. In particular, the distribution of selenium in tissues and cells under both physiological and pathological conditions remains unknown. In this work, we applied high-resolution synchrotron X-ray fluorescence microscopy (XFM) to map selenium distribution in mouse liver and kidney. Results: Liver showed a uniform selenium distribution that was dependent on selenocysteine tRNA([Ser]Sec) and dietary selenium. In contrast, kidney selenium had both uniformly distributed and highly localized components, the latter visualized as thin circular structures surrounding proximal tubules. Other parts of the kidney, such as glomeruli and distal tubules, only manifested the uniformly distributed selenium pattern that co-localized with sulfur. We found that proximal tubule selenium localized to the basement membrane. It was preserved in Selenoprotein P knockout mice, but was completely eliminated in glutathione peroxidase 3 (GPx3) knockout mice, indicating that this selenium represented GPx3. We further imaged kidneys of another model organism, the naked mole rat, which showed a diminished uniformly distributed selenium pool, but preserved the circular proximal tubule signal. Innovation: We applied XFM to image selenium in mammalian tissues and identified a highly localized pool of this trace element at the basement membrane of kidneys that was associated with GPx3. Conclusion: XFM allowed us to define and explain the tissue topography of selenium in mammalian kidneys at submicron resolution. Antioxid. Redox Signal. 16, 185-192.

AB Standardization of human-machine interfaces has proved beneficial in a number of technology areas. Lighting control is a home and office technology that is of central importance in energy efficiency and could potentially benefit from standardization, which has proved beneficial in a number of technology domains. User interfaces enable and structure communication to and from devices, however when this communication is not understood, there is increasing loss of amenity to the user - in not getting the services they want and potential compromise in efficiency. Standard user interfaces can help ensure the best possible outcome for communication.
This paper presents a summary of initial research on content for a global standard for lighting control user interfaces. A review of potentially relevant industry standards confirmed that there is no existing standard that covers this topic area, though many standards are related, including those covering symbols, indicators/actuators, generic user interface issues, accessibility, user interface content common to other energy concerns, and terminology. We surveyed many existing products, from simple switches, to those with many buttons, to those using graphic display technology. We describe a classification scheme for the entire 'form' of the control, catalogued the use of specific "elements" in the interfaces, and extracted topics ("concepts") that embody meaning and are represented in collections of interface elements. Finally, we consider plausible paths forward to creating content suitable for a global standard. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB The freshwater runoff from the glaciated and snow-covered Sermilik Fjord catchment, SE Greenland, was estimated at annual resolution for the period 1900-2008 and at decadal resolution for the past four millennia. Our simulations were forced with available meteorological station data (1900-2008) and Greenland ice core estimated temperature data (1899 (BC-AD) 1980) from Dye3 and GISP2. Time series of estimated ice discharge (2000-2009) for the three major outlet glaciers Helheim, Fenris, and MidgAyenrd indicate that 53-74% of the ice discharge variations could be explained by variations in areally averaged glacier terminus surface (supraglacial) runoff. Based on these data and together with calculated subglacial geothermal and frictional melting as well as net precipitation for the fjord area, the Sermilik Fjord freshwater flux was deduced for the period 1900-2008. Our simulations indicated that during the last century surface freshwater runoff has equaled 13% of the Sermilik Fjord average freshwater flux of 33.0 +/- 5.7x10(9) m(3)/yr, covering a periodic runoff variation of 20 years. Ice discharge has accounted for 81%, with 63% of the freshwater flux originated from the Helheim glacier. This indicates that the Helheim outlet glacier plays a dominant role as a freshwater source to both Sermilik Fjord and ultimately the Irminger Sea. For the palaeorecords of the last 4000 years, simulated surface runoff has averaged 4.4 +/- 0.2x10(9) m(3)/yr. A very weak decreasing trend in runoff over the last 4 k years (1899 (BC-AD) 1980) is presumably associated with the general insolation-generated Northern Hemisphere cooling since the Holocene Thermal Maximum. Our simulations furthermore indicated centennial- to submillennial-scale variations in surface runoff concurrent with the well-known climate episodes such as the 'Roman Warm Period', the 'Dark Ages Cold Period', the 'Medieval Climate Anomaly', and the 'Little Ice Age'. During the 'Little Ice Age', e.g., the average surface runoff was about 0.7x10(9) m(3)/yr lower than today, while the increase in runoff for the Modern Warming, since the late 1800s, was the second strongest and fastest for the last 4 k years.

AB Order-preserving submatrix (OPSM) has been widely accepted as a biologically meaningful cluster model, capturing the general tendency of gene expression across a subset of experiments. In an OPSM, the expression levels of all genes induce the same linear ordering of the experiments. The OPSM problem is to discover those statistically significant OPSMs from a given data matrix. The problem is reducible to a special case of the sequential pattern mining problem, where a pattern and its supporting sequences uniquely specify an OPSM. Unfortunately, existing methods do not scale well to massive data sets containing thousands of experiments and hundreds of thousands of genes, which are common in today's gene expression analysis. In particular, deep OPSMs, corresponding to long patterns with few supporting sequences, incur explosive computational costs in their discovery and are completely pruned off by existing methods. However, it is of particular interest of biologists to determine small groups of genes that are tightly coregulated across many experiments, and some pathways or processes may require as few as two genes to act in concert. In this paper, we study the discovery of deep OPSMs from massive data sets. We propose a novel best effort mining framework KiWi that exploits two parameters k and w to bound the available computational resources and search a selected search space, and does what it can to find as many as possible deep OPSMs. Extensive biological and computational evaluations on real data sets demonstrate the validity and importance of the deep OPSM problem, and the efficiency and effectiveness of the KiWi mining framework.

AB The room-temperature yield strength of quenched FeAl-based iron aluminides depends strongly on the temperature from which the quench occurs. There is evidence that Fe3Al-based iron aluminides show similar behavior, albeit not as pronounced. The purpose of this work was to carry out quenching and annealing experiments to clearly demonstrate this effect, as well as to study its kinetics. Room-temperature compression tests were performed using cast Fe-28at%Al and Fe-30at%Al after quenching from temperatures in the range 300-1000 degrees C. Kinetic studies were carried out to assess the reduction of the yield stress by subsequent annealing for various times at relatively low temperatures. Results from the present study are compared with data available in the literature and explanations for the dependence of room-temperature mechanical behavior on annealing history are evaluated. It is concluded that room-temperature strengthening in Fe3Al-based iron aluminides is consistent with behavior expected for quenched-in thermal vacancies and this could be an important strengthening mechanism in Fe3Al.

AB We experimentally and numerically investigated the effect of twinning on plasticity using an extruded rod-textured magnesium alloy. The rod-texture is a < 10 (1) over bar0 >-axis fiber texture that presents a fundamentally different anisotropy correlated to twinning with respect to the widely discussed c-axis fiber texture generated by clock rolling. We quantified a profuse {10 (1) over bar2}(10 (1) over bar1) extension twinning along the extrusion direction (ED) that consumed the entire parent before the inflection point in the stress-strain behavior. However, under compression along the extrusion radial direction (ERD), the twinning model in the viscoplastic self-consistent formulation still predicts substantial extension twinning. However, in this case the stress-strain curve did not inflect, and Regime II hardening was absent. We demonstrate via EBSD analyses that the absence of Regime II hardening along the ERD was due to a non-Schmid effect by multivariant "stopped" twinning. The intersecting variants of stopped twins incurred twin-twin interactions that limited the twin growth. Profuse {10 (1) over bar1}(10 (1) over bar2) double twinning occurs both under ED and ERD but peculiarly triggered earlier under ERD than under ED, so the Voce model under VPSC could not capture their effect. The complex networks of stopped twins in the ERD clearly negate a possible Hall-Petch effect on Regime II by twin segmentation, since otherwise Regime II would be more marked in the ERD. Rather, the stopped twins suggest preferential latent hardening within the twinned regions by parent dislocation transmutation upon their incorporation in the twins. In fact, since twin-twin interactions mitigate the growth rates of sweeping extension twin boundaries, dislocation transmutation could be limited to the extent that Regime II hardening will be eliminated.

AB An experimental and theoretical investigation was carried out to study the strain rate dependent plastic response of beryllium over a wide range of applied compression strain rates, 10(-4)-10(4)/s. At each rate, the evolution of flow stress and the final texture with deformation was obtained from a non-textured hot-pressed (HP) sample and a textured rolled sheet. The rolled sheet material was compressed in both the in-plane (IP) and through-thickness (TT) direction for comparison. The twin volume fraction was determined from the change in texture. The activity of twinning was strongly dependent on strain rate in the IP and HP samples. We applied a multi-scale constitutive model for hexagonal close packed polycrystals that accounts for crystallographic slip and twinning on individual systems in each crystal, as well as twin reorientation. Rate effects enter the calculations only through thermally activated dislocation glide on the active slip modes. The importance of this study is that it points to the necessity of using a crystallographic model based on microstructure evolution to understand the role played by plastic anisotropy, slip-slip competition, and slip-twin competition, in the mechanical response of HCP aggregates. The model reproduces the observed flow curves and texture evolution for all tests with a unique single crystal set of parameters. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB Implicit algorithms are essential for predicting the slow growth and saturation of global instabilities in today's magnetically confined fusion plasma experiments. Present day algorithms for obtaining implicit solutions to the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations for highly magnetized plasma have their roots in algorithms used in the 1960s and 1970s. However, today's computers and modern linear and non-linear solver techniques make practical much more comprehensive implicit algorithms than were previously possible. Combining these advanced implicit algorithms with highly accurate spatial representations of the vector fields describing the plasma flow and magnetic fields and with improved methods of calculating anisotropic thermal conduction now makes possible simulations of fusion experiments using realistic values of plasma parameters and actual configuration geometry. This article is a review of these developments. (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

TI Degradation Issues in Solid Oxide Cells During High Temperature

AB Idaho National Laboratory (INL) is performing high-temperature electrolysis research to generate hydrogen using solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs). The project goals are to address the technical and degradation issues associated with the SOECs. This paper provides a summary of various ongoing INL and INL sponsored activities aimed at addressing SOEC degradation. These activities include stack testing, post-test examination, degradation modeling, and a list of issues that need to be addressed in future. Major degradation issues relating to solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) are relatively better understood than those for SOECs. Some of the degradation mechanisms in SOFCs include contact problems between adjacent cell components, microstructural deterioration (coarsening) of the porous electrodes, and blocking of the reaction sites within the electrodes. Contact problems include delamination of an electrode from the electrolyte, growth of a poorly (electronically) conducting oxide layer between the metallic interconnect plates and the electrodes, and lack of contact between the interconnect and the electrode. INL's test results on high temperature electrolysis (HTE) using solid oxide cells do not provide clear evidence of whether different events lead to similar or drastically different electrochemical degradation mechanisms. Post-test examination of the solid oxide electrolysis cells showed that the hydrogen electrode and interconnect get partially oxidized and become nonconductive. This is most likely caused by the hydrogen stream composition and flow rate during cool down. The oxygen electrode side of the stacks seemed to be responsible for the observed degradation due to large areas of electrode delamination. Based on the oxygen electrode appearance, the degradation of these stacks was largely controlled by the oxygen electrode delamination rate. Virkar and co-workers have developed a SOEC model based on concepts in local thermodynamic equilibrium in systems otherwise in global thermodynamic nonequilibrium. This model is under continued development. It shows that electronic conduction through the electrolyte, however small, must be taken into account for determining local oxygen chemical potential, within the electrolyte. The chemical potential within the electrolyte may lie out of bounds in relation to values at the electrodes in the electrolyzer mode. Under certain conditions, high pressures can develop in the electrolyte just under the oxygen electrode (anode)/electrolyte interface, leading to electrode delamination. This theory is being further refined and tested by introducing some electronic conduction in the electrolyte. [DOI: 10.1115/1.4003787]

AB Due to the high intrinsic thermal conductivity of carbon allotropes, there have been many attempts to incorporate such structures into existing thermal abatement technologies. In particular, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphitic materials (i.e., graphite and graphene flakes or stacks) have garnered much interest due to the combination of both their thermal and mechanical properties. However, the introduction of these carbon-based nanostructures into thermal abatement technologies greatly increases the number of interfaces per unit length within the resulting composite systems. Consequently, thermal transport in these systems is governed as much by the interfaces between the constituent materials as it is by the materials themselves. This paper reports the behavior of phononic thermal transport across interfaces between isotropic thin films and graphite substrates. Elastic and inelastic diffusive transport models are formulated to aid in the prediction of conductance at a metal-graphite interface. The temperature dependence of the thermal conductance at Au-graphite interfaces is measured via transient thermoreflectance from 78 to 400 K. It is found that different substrate surface preparations prior to thin film deposition have a significant effect on the conductance of the interface between film and substrate.

These aspects were investigated by cyclic voltammetry studies in conjunction with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements to understand the redox reactions involving multiple transition metals and their capacity contribution at higher voltages, up to 4.9V. Further, cathodes with 1.5 wt.% carbon nanofibers added to the Li1.2Mn0.525Ni0.175Co0.1O2 composite electrode showed stable reversible capacities of about 280 mAh g(-1) when cycled to 4.9V for more than 100 cycles, and almost a factor of two improvements in the rate performance compared to the electrode composition prepared using conventional composition (7.5% carbon black and 7.5% binder).

AB The workhardening Cu47.5Zr47.5Al5 and the worksoftening Zr52.5Cu17.9Ni14.6Al10.0Ti5.0 bulk metallic glasses before and after precompression deformation were characterised for thermal and mechanical behaviours. The predeformation introduces excessive free volume in both glasses. Cu47.5Zr47.5Al5 and Zr52.5Cu17.9Ni14.6Al10.0Ti5.0 exhibit substantial workhardening and worksoftening behaviours respectively. For Cu47.5Zr47.5Al5, the precompression has a negligible effect on serrations in the plastic flow during nanoindentation, which is related to the hardening of a shear band, while for Zr52.5Cu17.9Ni14.6Al10.0Ti5.0, the precompression moderates serrations in the plastic flow during nanoindentation, which is associated with the softening of a shear band. Strengthening from mechanically induced nanocrystallites at shear bands is responsible for the workhardening of Cu47.5Zr47.5Al5, which overwhelms softening due to the introduction of excessive free volume.

AB The authors investigated relationships between glucose metabolism, amyloid load, and measures of cognitive and functional impairment in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Patients meeting criteria for probable AD underwent C-11-labeled Pittsburgh Compound-B ([C-11]PIB) and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose ([F-18]FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) imaging and were assessed on a set of clinical measures. The Pittsburgh Compound-B (PIB) Distribution volume ratios and fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) scans were spatially normalized and average PIB counts from regions-of-interest (ROI) were used to compute a measure of global PIB uptake. Separate voxel-wise regressions explored local and global relationships between metabolism, amyloid burden, and clinical measures. Regressions reflected cognitive domains assessed by individual measures, with visuospatial tests associated with more posterior metabolism, and language tests associated with metabolism in the left hemisphere. Correlating regional FDG uptake with these measures confirmed these findings. In contrast, no correlations were found between either voxel-wise or regional PIB uptake and any of the clinical measures. Finally, there were no associations between regional PIB and FDG uptake. We conclude that regional and global amyloid burden does not correlate with clinical status or glucose metabolism in AD. (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

AB The results of the simulation of the reported experimental results of high efficiency multicrystalline silicon (mc-Si) solar cells, using PC1D software, are reported in this study. Results obtained by various groups have been incorporated and compared in this study. The highest efficiency reported so far for mc-Si solar cells is 20.4% and 17-18% by research laboratories and commercial houses, respectively. The efficiency can be further enhanced if passivation characteristics on both the front and back surface are improved. The role of back surface recombination has become more significant in light of the use of thin mc-Si wafers by the solar cell industry. Based on the passivation characteristics and considering the understanding of the past three decades of studies, the authors have proposed and simulated a structure for mc-Si solar cells to improve the performance of the same. The results of our modeled structure of mc-Si solar cell show an efficiency of 21.88% with short-circuit current density, J(sc) = 39.39 mA/cm(2), and open circuit voltage, V-oc = 0.666 V.

AB As high CO2-emitting utilities and other industries move toward implementing carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies to manage greenhouse gas emissions, more and more CO2 will become available as a resource for multiple applications. CO2 will be a plentiful potential feedstock (carbon source) for many products, including commercial chemicals, plastics, and improved cement. Unfortunately, CO2 is a stable compound with a low energy state and does not readily participate in chemical reactions without added energy. Additionally, the supply of CO2 that may be available as the USA moves toward a carbon-constrained economy far exceeds the current demand for CO2 as a commodity chemical. Thus, identifying candidate chemistries and economically feasible approaches that utilize large amounts of CO2 as a feedstock for high-demand products is very challenging.
The United States Department of Energy (DOE), through its National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), has an active carbon sequestration program. The goal of the CO2 Utilization Focus Area is to identify and develop a suite of technologies that can beneficially use CO2 to produce useful products that can generate revenue to offset capture costs associated with CCS implementation, contribute to CO2 emissions reductions, and reduce the demand for petroleum based feedstocks and products. Currently, projects being supported fall into the categories of (i) enhanced hydrocarbon recovery, (ii) chemicals production, (iii) mineralization processes for building products, and (iv) plastics production. This perspective discusses the current status of CO2 use and presents a review of DOE's program to identify and demonstrate uses for captured CO2.

AB RNA helicase DDX5 (also p68) is involved in all aspects of RNA metabolism and serves as a transcriptional coregulator, but its functional role in breast cancer remains elusive. Here, we report an integrative biology study of DDX5 in breast cancer, encompassing quantitative proteomics, global MicroRNA profiling, and detailed biochemical characterization of cell lines and human tissues. We showed that protein expression of DDX5 increased progressively from the luminal to basal breast cancer cell lines, and correlated positively with that of CD44 in the basal subtypes. Through immunohistochemistry analyses of tissue microarrays containing over 200 invasive human ductal carcinomas, we observed that DDX5 was up-regulated in the majority of malignant tissues, and its expression correlated strongly with those of Ki67 and EGFR in the triple-negative tumors. We demonstrated that DDX5 regulated a subset of MicroRNAs including miR-21 and miR-182 in basal breast cancer cells. Knockdown of DDX5 resulted in reorganization of actin cytoskeleton and reduction of cellular proliferation. The effects were accompanied by up-regulation of tumor suppressor PDCD4 (a known miR-21 target); as well as up-regulation of cofilin and profilin, two key proteins involved in actin polymerization and cytoskeleton maintenance, as a consequence of miR-182 down-regulation. Treatment with miR-182 inhibitors resulted in morphologic phenotypes resembling those induced by DDX5 knockdown. Using bioinformatics tools for pathway and network analyses, we confirmed that the network for regulation of actin cytoskeleton was predominantly enriched for the predicted downstream targets of miR-182. Our results reveal a new functional role of DDX5 in breast cancer via the DDX5 -> miR-182 -> actin cytoskeleton pathway, and suggest the potential clinical utility of DDX5 and its downstream MicroRNAs in the theranostics of breast cancer.

ID HEAT-PULSE METHOD; CALIBRATION; SANDS; PROBE
AB Soil desiccation, in conjunction with surface infiltration control, is considered at the Hanford Site as a potential technology to limit the flux of technetium and other contaminants in the vadose zone to the groundwater. An intermediate-scale experiment was conducted to test the response of a series of instruments to desiccation and subsequent rewetting of porous media. The instruments include thermistors, thermocouple psychrometers, dual-probe heat pulse sensors, heat dissipation units, and humidity probes. The experiment was simulated with the multifluid flow simulator STOMP, using independently obtained hydraulic and thermal porous medium properties. All instrument types used for this experiment were able to indicate when the desiccation front passed a certain location. In most cases the changes were sharp, indicating rapid changes in moisture content, water potential, or humidity. However, a response to the changing conditions was recorded only when the drying front was very close to a sensor. Of the tested instruments, only the heat dissipation unit and humidity probes were able to detect rewetting. The numerical simulation results reasonably match the experimental data, indicating that the simulator captures the pertinent gas flow and transport processes related to desiccation and rewetting and may be useful in the design and analysis of field tests.

AB Coal gasification processes, such as the Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC), will increase in importance due to the expanding concern over CO2 emissions and global climate change. During the development of a Pd/gamma-Al2O3 sorbent for warm (200 degrees C) fuel gas cleanup, the catalytic formation of carbonyl sulfide (COS), was observed. This is attributed to a heterogeneous reaction involving fuel gas components (CO/CO2/H-2/H2S/H2O) and Pd/gamma-Al2O3. The concentration of COS increases 200-fold when exposed to the Pd/gamma-Al2O3 sorbent. A Langmuir-Hinshelwood reaction mechanism is proposed and a kinetic model is developed based on experimental results. The effect of gamma-Al2O3, a common catalyst for hydrolysis of COS, and H2O on the COS concentration is discussed. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

AB Glass compositions with formula (71.78 - x)SiO2-2.63Al(2)O(3) (2.63 + x)K2O-23.7Li(2)O (mol.%, x = 0-10) and SiO2/Li2O molar ratios far beyond that of stoichiometric lithium disilicate (Li2Si2O5) were prepared by conventional melt-quenching technique to investigate the influence of K2O content on structural transformations and devitrification behaviour of glasses in the Li2O-SiO2 system. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) examination of as cast non-annealed glasses revealed the presence of nanosized droplets in glassy matrices suggesting occurrence of liquid liquid phase separation. An overall trend towards depolymerization of the silicate glass network with increasing K2O content was demonstrated by employing magic angle spinning-nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS-NMR) spectroscopy. The distribution of structural units in the experimental glasses was estimated using Si-29 MAS-NMR spectroscopy suggesting the appearance of Q(2), enhancement of Q(3) and diminishing of Q(4) groups with increasing K2O contents. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) were used to assess the influence of K2O on devitrification process and formation of lithium disilicate (Li2Si2O5) and/or lithium metasilicate (Li2SiO3) crystalline phases.

AB Cool roofs, cool pavements, and urban vegetation reduce cooling energy use in buildings, lower local air pollution, and decrease greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from urban areas. To promote widespread and large-scale implementation of cool roofs to moderate urban heat-island phenomenon, more awareness and understanding of cool roof benefits at the local level is needed. As part of an investigation of strategies to mitigate urban heat-island effects, field data gathered from a monitoring project on cool roofs in India were reviewed. An innovative field-based analytical method was developed to quantify cooling energy savings resulting from the installation of cool roofs on commercial buildings. For buildings monitored in the Metropolitan Hyderabad region, the measured annual energy savings from roof-whitening of previously black roofs ranged from 20 to 22 kWh/m(2) of roof area, corresponding to a cooling energy use reduction of 14-26%. The application of white coatings to uncoated concrete roofs resulted in annual savings of 13-14 kWh/m(2) of roof area, corresponding to cooling energy savings of 10 -19%. The annual direct CO(2) reductions associated with the reduced cooling energy use were estimated to be 11-12 kg CO(2)/m(2) of flat roof area. Additional field work on various building types and locations will help to understand magnitudes of regional or global potential in energy savings and GHG emission reductions from applying cool roofs. Knowledge about quantified cool roof benefits at both the local and regional level may promote the formulation of new policies and programs throughout the world. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

AB A simplified in-situ fan curve measurement procedure has been developed using the manufacturers fan curve and one point (air flow and fan head) measurement. This paper presents the background theory, methodology, error analysis and step-by-step procedure developed for the practitioners. This in-situ method has been experimentally proven in full-scale air handling unit (AHU) systems. The results show that the fan curve identified using this simplified approach agrees with the fan curve identified using the point-by-point direct measurement method. Both the error analysis and the experiment show that the generated in-situ fan curve with least system resistance most closely matches the measured in-situ curve (cv-RMSE = 4.7%). The differences of the fan heads predicted by the fan curves are within the experimental error range. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

SANS patterns were obtained from dry samples and samples saturated with deuterium oxide (D2O) in order to delineate origin of the power law scattering in the low Q domain as well as to evaluate pore accessibility for D2O molecules. SANS cross section of all samples was fitted to Debye-Anderson-Brumberger (DAB), DAB-Kirste-Porod models as well as to the Guinier and modified Guinier formulae for cylindrical objects, which allowed for evaluating the radii of gyration as well as the radii and lengths of the pores under cylindrical shape approximation. SANS data from D2O-saturated samples indicate that strong upturn in the low Q limit usually observed in the scattering patterns from microporous carbon powders is due to the scattering from outer surface of the powder particles. Micropores are only partially filled with D2O molecules due to geometrical constraints and or partial hydrophobicity of the carbon matrix. Structural parameters of the dry carbons obtained using SANS are compared with the results of the gas sorption measurements and the values agree for carbide-derived carbons (CDCs) obtained at high chlorination temperatures (>600 degrees C). For lower chlorination temperatures, pore radii obtained from gas sorption overestimate the actual pore size as calculated from SANS for two reasons: inaccessible small pores are present and the model-dependent fitting based on density functional theory models assumes non-spherical pores, whereas SANS clearly indicates that the pore shape in microporous CDC obtained at low chlorination temperatures is nearly spherical.

AB Crystalline porous materials have a variety of uses, such as for catalysis and separation. Identifying suitable materials for a given application can, in principle, be done by screening material databases. Such a screening requires automated high-throughput analysis tools that calculate structural properties for all materials contained in a database so they can be compared with search queries, grouped or classified. One important aspect of the structural analysis of materials such as zeolites and metal organic frameworks is the investigation of the geometrical parameters describing pores. Here, we present algorithms and tools to efficiently calculate some of these important parameters. Our tools are based on the Voronoi decomposition, which for a given arrangement of atoms in a periodic domain provides a graph representation of the void space. The resulting Voronoi network is analyzed to obtain the diameter of the largest included sphere and the largest free sphere, which are two geometrical parameters that are frequently used to describe pore geometry. Accessibility of nodes in the network is also determined for a given guest molecule and the resulting information is later used to retrieve dimensionality of channel systems as well as in Monte Carlo sampling of accessible surfaces and volumes. The presented algorithms are implemented in a software tool, Zeo++, which includes a modified version of the Voro++ library. We present example applications of our algorithms and tools using zeolite frameworks currently listed in the Atlas of Zeolite Frameworks. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

AB To prevent possible threats to public safety and economic loss from chemical leakage accidents, novel chemical sensing techniques for regular monitoring and leakage detection have been developed for various fields. We propose a fiber optic liquid chemical sensor (FOCS) system using specialty optical fibers and an optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR), and is based on the leaky wave mode sensing principle. OTDR enables simple multiplexing where individual sensor nodes along the fiber length could be interrogated by a common OTDR. The sensor node in the optical fiber is prepared by removing the desired length of a protective layer using mechanical stripping and chemical etching techniques. A novel laser stripping technique with superior capability to fabricate quasi-distributed dense sensor nodes is devised as well. The FOCS system is further analyzed to characterize the sensor response behavior in relation to the sensor node length and possible environmental and chemical temperature effect. Under the condition satisfying the leaky wave mode principle and within the minimum acceptable refractive index (RI) range by the system, this FOCS system could monitor numerous liquid chemicals with variable refractive indices and has been tested with positive results. In addition, the system shows the possibility for multi-point detection and is further expanded into a hybrid technique capable of estimating the refractive index range of the detected chemical.

AB A new technique for treating the mechanical interactions of overlapping finite element meshes is proposed. Numerous names have been applied to related approaches, here we refer to such techniques as embedded mesh methods. Such methods are useful for numerous applications e. g., fluid-solid interaction with a superposed meshed solid on an Eulerian background fluid grid or solid-solid interaction with a superposed meshed particle on a matrix background mesh etc. In this work we consider the interaction of two elastic domains: one mesh is the foreground and defines the surface of interaction, the other is a background mesh and is often a grid. We first employ a classical mortar type approach [see Baaijens (Int J Numer Methods Eng 35: 743-761, 2001)] to impose constraints on the interface. It turns out that this approach will work well except in special cases. In fact, many related approaches can exhibit mesh locking under certain conditions. This motivates the proposed version of Nitsche's method which is shown to eliminate the locking phenomenon in example problems.

AB A pilot study was conducted to determine whether membrane treatment on a side stream of recirculating cooling-tower water could reduce overall water usage and discharge. The treated permeate was returned to the cooling tower while the concentrate was discharged to the sanitary sewer. Flow rates, pressures and water chemistry were monitored. The pilot demonstrated potential substantial water savings. Maximum make-up water and discharge reduction were 16% and 49%, respectively. As high as possible permeate recovery is needed to maximize water conservation. Silica scaling on the membranes limited water savings in this pilot. Development of membranes with a solute-rejection capacity less than the 92% average of the membranes used in the pilot would assist in optimizing water savings. Decreased water outlays compensated for the additional energy used by membrane treatment. Scaling control is critical for economic operation. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB We report novel phage-based array chips that are optically readable for cell proliferation and morphology assays. Using M13 phages that were engineered to display RGD on its major coat proteins and/or immobilize FGFb on its minor coat proteins, we prepared arrays of phage spot matrices composed of self-assembled nanofibrous network structures. We cultured fibroblasts on the arrays and, using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy, monitored the effects of the biochemical cues displayed by the phage on cell proliferation and morphology. This study demonstrates the utility of engineered phages as promising coating materials for lab-on-a-chip (LOC) platforms, allowing sensitive monitoring of the effects of functional peptides on cell growth. Phage-chips have great potential for use as high-throughput screening systems for biochemical assays and biosensors and the discovery of novel drugs.

AB Recently, antihydrogen atoms were trapped at CERN in a magnetic minimum (minimum-B) trap formed by superconducting octupole and mirror magnet coils. The trapped antiatoms were detected by rapidly turning off these magnets, thereby eliminating the magnetic minimum and releasing any antiatoms contained in the trap. Once released, these antiatoms quickly hit the trap wall, whereupon the positrons and antiprotons in the antiatoms annihilate. The antiproton annihilations produce easily detected signals; we used these signals to prove that we trapped antihydrogen. However, our technique could be confounded by mirror-trapped antiprotons, which would produce seemingly identical annihilation signals upon hitting the trap wall. In this paper, we discuss possible sources of mirror-trapped antiprotons and show that antihydrogen and antiprotons can be readily distinguished, often with the aid of applied electric fields, by analyzing the annihilation locations and times. We further discuss the general properties of antiproton and antihydrogen trajectories in this magnetic geometry, and reconstruct the antihydrogen energy distribution from the measured annihilation time history.

TI What controls primary production in the Arctic Ocean? Results from an
intercomparison of five general circulation models with biogeochemistry

AB As a part of Arctic Ocean Intercomparison Project, results from five coupled physical and biological ocean models were compared for the Arctic domain, defined here as north of 66.6 degrees N. The global and regional (Arctic Ocean (AO)-only) models included in the intercomparison show similar features in terms of the distribution of present-day water column-integrated primary production and are broadly in agreement with in situ and satellite-derived data. However, the physical factors controlling this distribution differ between the models. The intercomparison between models finds substantial variation in the depth of winter mixing, one of the main mechanisms supplying inorganic nutrients over the majority of the AO. Although all models manifest similar level of light limitation owing to general agreement on the ice distribution, the amount of nutrients available for plankton utilization is different between models. Thus the participating models disagree on a fundamental question: which factor, light or nutrients, controls present-day Arctic productivity. These differences between models may not be detrimental in determining present-day AO primary production since both light and nutrient limitation are tightly coupled to the presence of sea ice. Essentially, as long as at least one of the two limiting factors is reproduced correctly, simulated total primary production will be close to that observed. However, if the retreat of Arctic sea ice continues into the future as expected, a decoupling between sea ice and nutrient limitation will occur, and the predictive capabilities of the models may potentially diminish unless more effort is spent on verifying the mechanisms of nutrient supply. Our study once again emphasizes the importance of a realistic representation of ocean physics, in particular vertical mixing, as a necessary foundation for ecosystem modeling and predictions.

AB Comparisons of multispacecraft observations and full-particle simulations are used to understand magnetotail changes during substorms and the related cross-tail current disruptions/reductions. We first show that the electric field accompanying current disruptions can be measured in the tail lobe from the drift velocity of oxygen beams. A stormy period is studied here with a fleet of spacecraft including the four Cluster spacecraft and the Double Star spacecraft TC-1 in the tail, ACE and Geotail respectively in the solar wind and magnetosheath, and five LANL geostationary satellites, thus allowing the determination of the direction of propagation of the substorm disturbances. Each substorm here corresponds to an energy-loading period followed by a dipolarization of the magnetic field seen from 11 to 18 R-E. Plasma sheet thinning inside 12 R-E occurs during energy loading and is enhanced at the onset of strong dissipations of magnetic energy, which precede by several minutes particle injections at 6.6 R-E. Dipolarizations coincide with an increase of the lobe electric field, up to several mV/m. This study shows that the onset of the magnetic energy conversion occurs at about similar to 10-11 R-E and that once initiated, the perturbation propagates both toward the Earth and toward the distant tail. Comparisons of the measurements with recently published 2D full particle simulations of the reconnection process by Oka et al. (2008) indicate a good agreement between data and simulated magnetic lobe signatures. This suggests that the lobe magnetic changes are the signature of a tailward retreating neutral line, with its associated current disruption/reduction.

AB We explore the complete breakup of the Li atom after absorption of a single photon, the purest example of the so-called four-body Coulomb problem. The resulting strongly correlated three-electron continuum is investigated by calculating the angular distributions of the ionized electrons using advanced close-coupling techniques. We find that the distributions are dominated by the Coulomb interactions between the electrons, that multiple break-up processes can be identified, and that the complex dynamics of the fragmentation process are evident for most scattering geometries.

TI Chiral Effective Field Theory Predictions for Muon Capture on Deuteron

ID SCATTERING; NUCLEON; PHYSICS
AB The muon-capture reactions H-2(mu(-), nu(mu))nn and He-3(mu(-), nu(mu))H-3 are studied with nuclear potentials and charge-changing weak currents, derived in chiral effective field theory. The low-energy constants (LECs) c(D) and c(E), present in the three-nucleon potential and (c(D)) axial-vector current, are constrained to reproduce the A = 3 binding energies and the triton Gamow-Teller matrix element. The muon-capture rates on deuteron and He-3 are predicted to be 399 +/- 3 sec(-1) and 1494 +/- 21 sec(-1), respectively. The spread accounts for the cutoff sensitivity, as well as uncertainties in the LECs and electroweak radiative corrections. By comparing the calculated and precisely measured rates on He-3, a value for the induced pseudoscalar form factor is obtained in good agreement with the chiral perturbation theory prediction.

SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS

ID NUCLEAR GROUND-STATE; FISSION-BARRIERS; MATTER
AB The parameters in the macroscopic droplet part of the finite-range droplet model (FRDM) are related to the properties of the equation of state. In the FRDM (1992) version, the optimization of the model parameters was not sufficiently sensitive to variations of the compressibility constant K and the density-symmetry constant L to allow their determination. In the new, more accurate FRDM-2011a adjustment of the model constants to new and more accurate experimental masses allows the determination of L together with the symmetry-energy constant J. The optimization is still not sensitive to K which is therefore fixed at K = 240 MeV. Our results are J = 32.5 +/- 0.5 MeV and L = 70 +/- 15 MeV and a considerably improved mass-model accuracy sigma = 0.5700 MeV, with respect to the 2003 Atomic Mass Evaluation (AME2003) for FRDM-2011a, compared to sigma = 0.669 MeV for FRDM (1992).

AB We introduce a machine learning model to predict atomization energies of a diverse set of organic molecules, based on nuclear charges and atomic positions only. The problem of solving the molecular Schrodinger equation is mapped onto a nonlinear statistical regression problem of reduced complexity. Regression models are trained on and compared to atomization energies computed with hybrid density-functional theory. Cross validation over more than seven thousand organic molecules yields a mean absolute error of similar to 10 kcal/mol. Applicability is demonstrated for the prediction of molecular atomization potential energy curves.

AB Using piezoresponse force microscopy in an ultrahigh vacuum, polarization switching has been detected and quantified in epitaxial BiFeO3 films from 200 to about 4 unit cells thick. Local remnant piezoresponse was utilized to probe both ferroelectric properties and effects of imperfect electrical contacts. It was found that the shape of electromechanical hysteresis loops is strongly influenced by an extrinsic dielectric gap, primarily through the suppressing effect of the depolarizing field on the spontaneous polarization in the ultrathin films. Furthermore, statistical analysis of the hysteresis loops has revealed lateral variation of the extrinsic dielectric gap with sub-10-nm resolution. Robust and reproducible ferroelectric properties of nanoscale BiFeO3 indicate its potential for nanoscale applications in information storage and spintronics.

AB The anisotropic physical properties of single crystals of orthorhombic PtSn4 are reported for magnetic fields up to 140 kOe, applied parallel and perpendicular to the crystallographic b axis. The magnetic susceptibility has an approximately temperature-independent behavior and reveals an anisotropy between the ac plane and b axis. Clear de Haas-van Alphen oscillations in fields as low as 5 kOe and at temperatures as high as 30 K were detected in magnetization isotherms. The thermoelectric power and resistivity of PtSn4 show the strong temperature and magnetic field dependencies. A change of the thermoelectric power at H = 140 kOe is observed as high as similar or equal to 50 mu V/K. Single crystals of PtSn4 exhibit very large transverse magnetoresistance of similar or equal to 5 x 10(5)% for the ac plane and of similar or equal to 1.4 x 10(5)% for the b axis resistivity at 1.8 K and 140 kOe, as well as pronounced Shubnikov de Haas oscillations. The magnetoresistance of PtSn4 appears to obey Kohler's rule in the temperature and field range measured. The Hall resistivity shows a linear temperature dependence at high temperatures followed by a sign reversal around 25 K which is consistent with thermoelectric power measurements. The observed quantum oscillations and band structure calculations indicate that PtSn4 has three-dimensional Fermi surfaces.

TI Polar charge and orbital order in 2H-TaS2
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B
LA English
DT Article
ID TRANSITION-METAL DICHALCOGENIDES; DENSITY WAVES; STATE
AB It was recently discovered that in spite of the scalar nature of its order parameter, the charge order in 1T-TiSe2 can be chiral. This is made possible by the emergence of orbital order in conjunction with the charge-density modulations. Here we show that a closely related charge and orbital ordered state arises in 2H-TaS2. In both materials, the microscopic mechanism driving the transition is based on the interaction between three differently polarized displacement waves. The relative phase shifts between these waves lead both to the formation of orbital order and to the breakdown of inversion symmetry. In contrast to 1T-TiSe2, however, the presence of a mirror plane in the lattice of 2H-TaS2 prevents the distorted structure in this material from being chiral, and a polar charge and orbital ordered state arises instead. It is stressed that bulk experiments are indispensable in differentiating between the chiral and polar phases.

AB Almost nothing is known about the mechanisms of dissimilatory metal reduction byGram-positive bacteria, although theymay be the dominant species in some environments. Thermincola potens strain JR was isolated from the anode of a microbial fuel cell inoculated with anaerobic digester sludge and operated at 55 degrees C. Preliminary characterization revealed that T. potens coupled acetate oxidation to the reduction of hydrous ferric oxides (HFO) or anthraquinone-2,6disulfonate (AQDS), an analog of the redox active components of humic substances. The genome of T. potens was recently sequenced, and the abundance of multiheme c-type cytochromes (MHCs) is unusual for a Gram-positive bacterium. We present evidence from trypsin-shaving LC-MS/MS experiments and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) that indicates the expression of a number of MHCs during T. potens growth on either HFO or AQDS, and that several MHCs are localized to the cell wall or cell surface. Furthermore, one of the MHCs can be extracted from cells with low pH or denaturants, suggesting a loose association with the cell wall or cell surface. Electron microscopy does not reveal an S-layer, and the precipitation of silver metal on the cell surface is inhibited by cyanide, supporting the involvement of surface-localized redox-active heme proteins in dissimilatory metal reduction. These results provide unique direct evidence for cell wall-associated cytochromes and support MHC involvement in conducting electrons across the cell envelope of a Gram-positive bacterium.

5-HYDROXYCONIFERYL ALCOHOL; GENETIC MANIPULATION
AB Lignins are complex phenylpropanoid polymers mostly associated with plant secondary cell walls. Lignins arise primarily via oxidative polymerization of the three monolignols, p-coumaryl, coniferyl, and sinapyl alcohols. Of the two hydroxycinnamyl alcohols that represent incompletely methylated biosynthetic products (and are not usually considered to be monolignols), 5-hydroxyconiferyl alcohol is now well established as incorporating into angiosperm lignins, but incorporation of caffeyl alcohol has not been shown. We report here the presence of a homopolymer of caffeyl alcohol in the seed coats of both monocot and dicot plants. This polymer (C-lignin) is deposited to high concentrations in the seed coat during the early stages of seed development in the vanilla orchid (Vanilla planifolia), and in several members of the Cactaceae. The lignin in other parts of the Vanilla plant is conventionally biosynthesized from coniferyl and sinapyl alcohols. Some species of cacti contain only C-lignin in their seeds, whereas others contain only classical guaiacyl/syringyl lignin (derived from coniferyl and sinapyl alcohols). NMR spectroscopic analysis revealed that the Vanilla seed-coat polymer was massively comprised of benzodioxane units and was structurally similar to the polymer synthesized in vitro by peroxidase-catalyzed polymerization of caffeyl alcohol. CD spectroscopy did not detect any optical activity in the seed polymer. These data support the contention that the C-lignin polymer is produced in vivo via combinatorial oxidative radical coupling that is under simple chemical control, a mechanism analogous to that theorized for classical lignin biosynthesis.
