TI Impact of Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Degradation Products on Oxygen Reduction Reaction Activity for Platinum Electrocatalysts SO JOURNAL OF THE ELECTROCHEMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID SINGLE-CRYSTAL ELECTRODES; SELF-ASSEMBLED MONOLAYERS; PEM FUEL-CELL; CHAIN-LENGTH; ADSORPTION; CONTAMINATION; DURABILITY; ACID; PERFORMANCE; EXCHANGE AB The impact of model membrane degradation compounds on the relevant electrochemical parameters for the oxygen reduction reaction (i.e. electrochemical surface area and catalytic activity), was studied for both polycrystalline Pt and carbon supported Pt electrocatalysts. Model compounds, representing previously published, experimentally determined polymer electrolyte membrane degradation products, were in the form of perfluorinated organic acids that contained combinations of carboxylic and/or sulfonic acid functionality. Perfluorinated carboxylic acids of carbon chain length C1-C6 were found to have an impact on electrochemical surface area (ECA). The longest chain length acid also hindered the observed oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) performance, resulting in a 17% loss in kinetic current (determined at 0.9 V). Model compounds containing sulfonic acid functional groups alone did not show an effect on Pt ECA or ORR activity. Greater than a 44% loss in ORR activity at 0.9V was observed for diacid model compounds DA-Naf (perfluoro(2-methyl-3-oxa-5-sulfonic pentanoic) acid) and DA-3M (perfluoro(4-sulfonic butanoic) acid), which contained both sulfonic and carboxylic acid functionalities.

ORR kinetic currents (measured at 0.9 V and transport corrected) were found to decrease linearly with the log of concentration for both model compounds on all Pt surfaces studied. Model compound adsorption effects on ECA were more abstruse due to competitive organic anion adsorption on Pt surfaces superimposing with the hydrogen underpotential deposition (HUPD) region.

Although the p-doping is challenging for AlN and GaN, requiring the activation of the Mg acceptors, in the case of the MOCVD growth, methods for obtaining reliable and high level doping have been developed. Similarly for n-type doping silicon has been used successfully for more than a decade. More recently germanium has been found to be as effective for n-type doping, with the additional advantage of inducing less strain in the host lattice due its size similarity to gallium. Doping of InGaN is more challenging due the difficulty in controlling the donor background associated with material extended defects and the incorporation of impurities. Although successful p-type doping of InGaN with Mg has been demonstrated, quantitative limits for the magnesium incorporation and its behavior have not been analyzed. In this paper we investigate both, Mg and Ge doping of InGaN. We also discuss the challenges posed by the growth and measurement of the InGaN pnjunctions characteristics as well as we demonstrate the fabrication of large area long wavelength LEDs on silicon (111) by PA-MBE.

ENABLE is a direct chemical activation approach to film growth which uses an energetic beam of neutral N atoms to activate nitride thin film growth. Using the ENABLE-MBE technology, up to 3.1% and 3.5% B has been incorporated in BAlN and BGaN, respectively. XRD scans indicate that the films are single phase and the crystalline quality is high. It has been shown in BAlN that a lower substrate temperature during growth leads to higher level of incorporation of B, with all other parameters held constant. Electrical measurements of BAlN shows reasonable breakdown voltage (similar to 25 V/mu m) and leakage current (-9 nA at -20 V bias). (C) 2014 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

GaN thin films grown on sapphire by MOCVD were thermally oxidized for 30, 45 and 60 minutes in a pure oxygen atmosphere at 850 degrees C to produce thin, smooth GaOx layers. The GaN sample oxidized for 30 minutes had the best properties. Its surface roughness (0.595 nm) as measured by atomic force microscopy (AFM) was the lowest. Capacitance-voltage measurements showed it had the best saturation in accumulation region and the sharpest transition from accumulation to depletion regions. Under gate voltage sweep, capacitance-voltage hysteresis was completely absent. The interface trap density was minimum (D-it = 2.75x10(10) cm(-2)eV(-1)) for sample oxidized for 30 mins. These results demonstrate a high quality GaOx layer is beneficial for GaN MOSFETs. (C) 2014 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim C1 [Hossain, T.; Weil, D.; Edgar, J.

To better understand the Mg acceptor in nitride alloys, we investigate the effects of In or Al mole fraction, growth temperature and sample thickness on the amount of un-ionized (neutral) Mg using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. The results show that neither temperature nor thickness effects the concentration of the neutral Mg-related acceptor defects; however, the mole fraction of metal, In or Al, alters the behavior of the dopant. For InxGa1-xN, a broadening of the EPR linewidth is shown to be directly related to the presence of a nearby In and is consistent with a lowering of the acceptor level. Incorporation of Al into GaN, on the other hand, produces a systematic decrease in the concentration of neutral Mgrelated acceptors as the amount of Al increases. Earlier studies indicate that the reduction is caused by incomplete hydrogen removal from the acceptor impurity. (C) 2014 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim C1 [Zvanut, M. E.; Willoughby, W.

State-of-the-art blue LDs have higher efficiencies at high input power densities when compared to blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs). This is because the processes that cause the drop in efficiency at high currents for LEDs are not present in the LD operated under stimulated emission. Projections of efficiency improvement show blue LDs have the potential to be nearly as efficient as blue LEDs and provide similar lumen output at much higher input powers. This result provides the possibility that white sources created from blue LD pumped phosphors could someday become a competitive and viable SSL source. [GRAPHICS] (C) 2014 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Correlations were sought between the film's structure, composition, and electrical properties. The thickness of the Al2O3 films was 19.2 nm as determined from a Si witness sample by spectroscopic ellipsometry. The gate dielectric was slightly aluminum-rich (Al:O=1:1.3) as measured from X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) depth profile, and the oxide-semiconductor interface carbon concentration was lower on c-plane GaN. The oxide's surface morphology was similar on both substrates, but was smoothest on c-plane GaN as determined by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Circular capacitors (50-300 mu m diameter) with Ni/Au (20/100 nm) metal contacts on top of the oxide were created by standard photolithography and e-beam evaporation methods to form metal-oxide-semiconductor capacitors (MOSCAPs). The alumina deposited on c-plane GaN showed less hysteresis (0.15 V) than on m-plane GaN (0.24 V) in capacitance-voltage (CV) characteristics, consistent with its better quality of this dielectric as evidenced by negligible carbon contamination and smooth oxide surface. These results demonstrate the promising potential of ALD Al2O3 on c-plane GaN, but further optimization of ALD is required to realize the best properties of Al2O3 on m-plane GaN.

High temperature silicon dioxide is grown on both surfaces of an n-type wafer to a thickness <50 angstrom, followed by deposition of tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) and a patterned metal contacting layer. As deposited, the thin-film stack has a very high J(0,contact), and a non-ohmic, high contact resistance. However, after a forming gas anneal, the passivation quality and the contact resistivity improve significantly. The contacts are characterized by measuring the recombination parameter of the contact (J(0,contact)) and the specific contact resistivity (rho(contact)) using a TLM pattern. The best ITO/SiO2 passivated contact in this study has J(0,contact) = 92.5 fA/cm(2) and rho(contact) = 11.5 mOhm-cm(2). These values are placed in context with other passivating contacts using an analysis that determines the ultimate efficiency and the optimal area fraction for contacts for a given set of (J(0,contact), rho(contact)) values. The ITO/SiO2 contacts are found to have a higher J(0,contact), but a similar rho(contact) compared to the best reported passivated contacts. (C) 2014 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

TI A SCALABLE GENERATIVE GRAPH MODEL WITH COMMUNITY STRUCTURE SO SIAM JOURNAL ON SCIENTIFIC COMPUTING LA English DT Article DE graph generator; network data; block two-level Erdos-Renyi (BTER) model; large-scale graph benchmarks ID POWER-LAW GRAPHS; NETWORKS AB Network data is ubiquitous and growing, yet we lack realistic generative network models that can be calibrated to match real-world data. The recently proposed block two-level Erdos-Renyi (BTER) model can be tuned to capture two fundamental properties: degree distribution and clustering coefficients. The latter is particularly important for reproducing graphs with community structure, such as social networks. In this paper, we compare BTER to other scalable models and show that it gives a better fit to real data. We provide a scalable implementation that requires only O(d(max)) storage, where d(max) is the maximum number of neighbors for a single node. The generator is trivially parallelizable, and we show results for a Hadoop MapReduce implementation for modeling a real-world Web graph with over 4.6 billion edges. We propose that the BTER model can be used as a graph generator for benchmarking purposes and provide idealized degree distributions and clustering coefficient profiles that can be tuned for user specifications.

TI EXPLOITING SYMMETRY IN TENSORS FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE: MULTIPLICATION WITH SYMMETRIC TENSORS SO SIAM JOURNAL ON SCIENTIFIC COMPUTING LA English DT Article DE high performance; multilinear algebra; algorithms ID LINEAR ALGEBRA SUBPROGRAMS; ALGORITHMS; IMPLEMENTATION; APPROXIMATION; LIBRARY; FLAME; SET AB Symmetric tensor operations arise in a wide variety of computations. However, the benefits of exploiting symmetry in order to reduce storage and computation is in conflict with a desire to simplify memory access patterns. In this paper, we propose a blocked data structure (blocked compact symmetric storage) wherein we consider the tensor by blocks and store only the unique blocks of a symmetric tensor. We propose an algorithm by blocks, already shown of benefit for matrix computations, that exploits this storage format by utilizing a series of temporary tensors to avoid redundant computation. Further, partial symmetry within temporaries is exploited to further avoid redundant storage and redundant computation. A detailed analysis shows that, relative to storing and computing with tensors without taking advantage of symmetry and partial symmetry, storage requirements are reduced by a factor of O(m!) and computational requirements by a factor of O((m + 1)!/2(m)), where m is the order of the tensor. However, as the analysis shows, care must be taken in choosing the correct block size to ensure these storage and computational benefits are achieved (particularly for low-order tensors). An implementation demonstrates that storage is greatly reduced and the complexity introduced by storing and computing with tensors by blocks is manageable. Preliminary results demonstrate that computational time is also reduced. The paper concludes with a discussion of how insights in this paper point to opportunities for generalizing recent advances in the domain of linear algebra libraries to the field of multilinear computation.

The key analytical tool is the singular value expansion of the parameterized solution, which we approximate with a singular value decomposition of a parameter snapshot matrix. To evaluate the reduced-order model at a new parameter, we interpolate a subset of the right singular vectors to generate the reduced-order model's coefficients. We employ a novel method to select this subset that uses the parameter gradient of the right singular vectors to split the terms in the expansion, yielding a mean prediction and a prediction covariance-similar to a Gaussian process approximation. The covariance serves as a confidence measure for the reduced-order model. We demonstrate the efficacy of the reduced-order model using a parameter study of heat transfer in random media. The high-fidelity simulations produce more than 4TB of data; we compute the singular value decomposition and evaluate the reduced-order model using scalable MapReduce/Hadoop implementations. We compare the accuracy of our method with a scalar response surface on a set of temperature profile measurements and find that our model better captures sharp, local features in the parameter space.

There is a growing need to quickly assess the characteristics of a graph in order to understand its underlying structure. Some of the most useful metrics are triangle-based and give a measure of the connectedness of mutual friends. This is often summarized in terms of clustering coefficients, which measure the likelihood that two neighbors of a node are themselves connected. Computing these measures exactly for large-scale networks is prohibitively expensive in both memory and time. However, a recent wedge-sampling algorithm has proved successful in efficiently and accurately estimating clustering coefficients. In this paper, we describe how to implement this approach in MapReduce to deal with massive graphs. We show results on publicly available networks, the largest of which is 132M nodes and 4.7B edges, as well as artificially generated networks (using the Graph500 benchmark), the largest of which has 240M nodes and 8.5B edges. We can estimate the clustering coefficient by degree bin (e. g., we use exponential binning) and the number of triangles per bin, as well as the global clustering coefficient and total number of triangles, in an average of 0.33 seconds per million edges plus overhead (approximately 225 seconds total for our configuration). The technique can also be used to study triangle statistics such as the ratio of the highest and lowest degree, and we highlight differences between social and nonsocial networks. To the best of our knowledge, these are the largest triangle-based graph computations published to date.

The use of different imaging techniques together with different animal models offers a great advantage due to the possibility to study some human pathologies without the necessity of chirurgical intervention. The employ of magnetic resonance imaging for the acquisition of anatomical and functional images is an excellent tool because its noninvasive nature. Dedicated coils to perform magnetic resonance imaging experiments are obligatory due to the improvement on the signal-to-noise ratio and reduced specific absorption ratio. A specifically designed surface coil for magnetic resonance imaging of monkey's brain is proposed based on the multi circular-slot coil. Numerical simulations of the magnetic and electric fields were also performed using the Finite Integration Method to solve Maxwell's equations for this particular coil design and, to study the behavior of various vector magnetic field configurations and specific absorption ratio. Monkey's brain images were then acquired with a research-dedicated magnetic resonance imaging system at 4T, to evaluate the anatomical images with conventional imaging sequences. This coil showed good quality images of a monkey's brain and full compatibility with standard pulse sequences implemented in research-dedicated imager. C1 [Osorio, A.

It consists of a high- intensity electron accelerator based on continuous wave superconducting radio frequency technology and a sophisticated array of particle detectors. The design features and excellent performance of the accelerator made it possible to plan an upgrade in energy from 6 to 12 GeV without substantially altering the construction scheme of the accelerator. The program includes the construction of major new experimental facilities for the existing three Halls, A, B, C and the construction of the new experimental Hall D. The research program that motivated the upgrade in energy includes: the study of the nucleon "tomography"through the study of generalized parton distribution functions (GPDs) and transverse momentum dependent parton distribution functions (TMDs), the study of exotics and hybrid mesons to explore the nature of the quarks confinement, precision test of the Standard Model through parity- violating electron scattering experiments. Major highlights of the program at 6 GeV will be presented as well as an overview of the 12 GeV physics program.

Proper treatment of such excitations is often essential to the accurate description of reaction experimental data. Previous works have applied different models to specific nuclei with the purpose of determining angular-integrated cross sections. In this work, we present an extensive study of the effects of collective couplings and nuclear deformations on integrated cross sections as well as on angular distributions in a consistent manner for neutron-induced reactions on nuclei in the rare-earth region. This specific subset of the nuclide chart was chosen precisely because of a clear static deformation pattern. We analyze the convergence of the coupled-channel calculations regarding the number of states being explicitly coupled. Inspired by the work done by Dietrich et al., a model for deforming the spherical Koning-Delaroche optical potential as function of quadrupole and hexadecupole deformations is also proposed. We demonstrate that the obtained results of calculations for total, elastic and inelastic cross sections, as well as elastic and inelastic angular distributions correspond to a remarkably good agreement with experimental data for scattering energies above around a few MeV.

The new methods are similar to strong form, nodal discontinuous Galerkin spectral elements but conserve entropy for the Euler equations and are entropy stable for the Navier-Stokes equations. Shock capturing follows immediately by combining them with a dissipative companion operator via a comparison approach. Smooth and discontinuous test cases are presented that demonstrate their efficacy.

TI A UNIFIED SPARSE MATRIX DATA FORMAT FOR EFFICIENT GENERAL SPARSE MATRIX-VECTOR MULTIPLICATION ON MODERN PROCESSORS WITH WIDE SIMD UNITS SO SIAM JOURNAL ON SCIENTIFIC COMPUTING LA English DT Article DE sparse matrix; sparse matrix-vector multiplication; data format; performance model; SIMD ID ARCHITECTURES; PERFORMANCE; GPUS AB Sparse matrix-vector multiplication (spMVM) is the most time-consuming kernel in many numerical algorithms and has been studied extensively on all modern processor and accelerator architectures. However, the optimal sparse matrix data storage format is highly hardware-specific, which could become an obstacle when using heterogeneous systems. Also, it is as yet unclear how the wide single instruction multiple data (SIMD) units in current multi-and many-core processors should be used most efficiently if there is no structure in the sparsity pattern of the matrix. We suggest SELLC-sigma, a variant of Sliced ELLPACK, as a SIMD-friendly data format which combines long-standing ideas from general-purpose graphics processing units and vector computer programming. We discuss the advantages of SELL-C-sigma compared to established formats like Compressed Row Storage and ELLPACK and show its suitability on a variety of hardware platforms (Intel Sandy Bridge, Intel Xeon Phi, and Nvidia Tesla K20) for a wide range of test matrices from different application areas. Using appropriate performance models we develop deep insight into the data transfer properties of the SELL-C-sigma spMVM kernel. SELL-C-sigma comes with two tuning parameters whose performance impact across the range of test matrices is studied and for which reasonable choices are proposed. This leads to a hardware-independent ("catch-all") sparse matrix format, which achieves very high efficiency for all test matrices across all hardware platforms.

While, drivetrain improvements play a major role in improving fuel economy, it has been identified that fuel efficient driving behavior is a viable method for increased fuel efficiency. Thus, if the optimal fuel efficient behavior can be identified, it can be used to increase the fuel efficiency of drivers. However, once the optimal fuel efficient behavior is identified, it has to be presented to the driver, while the vehicle is being driven. Thus, this method of information representation has to be un-obstructive and easy to comprehend. This paper presents a low cost framework and a hardware setup for prompting drivers on fuel efficient behavior. The presented framework includes an information rich, intuitive un-obstructive visualization. The presented method was implemented using low cost, commercial-off-the-shelf hardware and tested on a sample of buses selected from the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) bus fleet. Different types of visual cues were and evaluated by professional drivers for obstructiveness, interpretability and intuitiveness.

TI A compact PTR-ToF-MS instrument for airborne measurements of volatile organic compounds at high spatiotemporal resolution SO ATMOSPHERIC MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES LA English DT Article ID TRANSFER-REACTION-TIME; IONIZATION MASS-SPECTROMETRY; SURINAM AB Herein, we report on the development of a compact proton-transfer-reaction time-of-flight mass spectrometer (PTR-ToF-MS) for airborne measurements of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The new instrument resolves isobaric ions with a mass resolving power (m/Delta m) of similar to 1000, provides accurate m/z measurements (Delta m < 3 mDa), records full mass spectra at 1 Hz and thus overcomes some of the major analytical deficiencies of quadrupole-MS-based airborne instruments. 1 Hz detection limits for biogenic VOCs (isoprene, alpha total monoterpenes), aromatic VOCs (benzene, toluene, xylenes) and ketones (acetone, methyl ethyl ketone) range from 0.05 to 0.12 ppbV, making the instrument well-suited for fast measurements of abundant VOCs in the continental boundary layer. The instrument detects and quantifies VOCs in locally confined plumes (< 1 km), which improves our capability of characterizing emission sources and atmospheric processing within plumes. A deployment during the NASA 2013 DISCOVER-AQ mission generated high vertical- and horizontal-resolution in situ data of VOCs and ammonia for the validation of satellite retrievals and chemistry transport models.

TI Quantifying the value of redundant measurements at GCOS Reference Upper-Air Network sites SO ATMOSPHERIC MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES LA English DT Article ID THERMODYNAMIC PROFILES; UNCERTAINTY; CLOUD AB The potential for measurement redundancy to reduce uncertainty in atmospheric variables has not been investigated comprehensively for climate observations. We evaluated the usefulness of entropy and mutual correlation concepts, as defined in information theory, for quantifying random uncertainty and redundancy in time series of the integrated water vapour (IWV) and water vapour mixing ratio profiles provided by five highly instrumented GRUAN (GCOS, Global Climate Observing System, Reference Upper-Air Network) stations in 2010-2012. Results show that the random uncertainties on the IWV measured with radiosondes, global positioning system, microwave and infrared radiometers, and Raman lidar measurements differed by less than 8 %. Comparisons of time series of IWV content from ground-based remote sensing instruments with in situ soundings showed that microwave radiometers have the highest redundancy with the IWV time series measured by radiosondes and therefore the highest potential to reduce the random uncertainty of the radiosondes time series. Moreover, the random uncertainty of a time series from one instrument can be reduced by similar to 60% by constraining the measurements with those from another instrument. The best reduction of random uncertainty is achieved by conditioning Raman lidar measurements with microwave radiometer measurements. Specific instruments are recommended for atmospheric water vapour measurements at GRUAN sites. This approach can be applied to the study of redundant measurements for other climate variables.

Isoprene is produced primarily by vegetation as well as anthropogenic sources, and its OH-and O-3-initiated oxidations are a major source of atmospheric oxygenated organics. Few quantitative infrared studies have been reported for isoprene, limiting the ability to quantify isoprene emissions via remote or in situ infrared detection. We thus report absorption cross sections and integrated band intensities for isoprene in the 600-6500 cm(-1) region. The pressure-broadened (1 atmosphere N-2) spectra were recorded at 278, 298, and 323K in a 19.94 cm path-length cell at 0.112 cm 1 resolution, using a Bruker IFS 66v/S Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer. Composite spectra are derived from a minimum of seven isoprene sample pressures, each at one of three temperatures, and the number densities are normalized to 296K and 1 atm. C1 [Brauer, C.

Clean basal planes were found to have increased reactivity compared to atomic-level point defects (single vacancies). High resolution scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) shows that some of the grafts present three-fold symmetry, which may indicate that the grafts are pairs of molecules. The point of attachment of the second molecule is under investigation using computational work which includes simulations of the STM images. Elongated as well as extended grafts (larger than 4 nm) are also observed. C1 [Stevenson, K. J.; Veneman, P. A.; Gearba, R. I.; Mueller, K. M.; Holliday, B.

There have been few studies to determine the effects of the input DNA amount or library preparation method on the quality of sequencing data. Several new commercially available library preparation methods enable shotgun sequencing from as little as 1 ng of input DNA. In this study, we evaluated the NEBNext Ultra library preparation reagents for sequencing bacterial genomes. We have evaluated the utility of NEBNext Ultra for resequencing and de novo assembly of four bacterial genomes and compared its performance with the TruSeq library preparation kit. The NEBNext Ultra reagents enable high quality resequencing and de novo assembly of a variety of bacterial genomes when using 100 ng of input genomic DNA. For the two most challenging genomes (Burkholderia spp.), which have the highest GC content and are the longest, we also show that the quality of both resequencing and de novo assembly is not decreased when only 10 ng of input genomic DNA is used.

Here, we focus on the top-down approach and significantly advance the scale of the simulated parallel programs. Via the direct execution technique combined with parallel discrete event simulation, we stretch the limits of the top-down approach by simulating parallel programs with hundreds of millions of tasks. Although the scaling issues and solutions presented here are generally applicable, we focus on message passing interface (MPI) programs. Using a timing-validated benchmark application, a proof-of-concept scaling level is achieved to over 0.22 billion virtual MPI processes on 216,000 cores of a Cray XT5 supercomputer, representing one of the largest direct execution simulations to date, combined with a multiplexing ratio of 1024 simulated tasks per real task.

In this note we extend the optimization-based AtC, formulated in [17] for linear, one-dimensional problems to multi-dimensional settings and arbitrary interatomic potentials.

We present an optimization-based algorithm for the conservative transport of scalar quantities (i.e. mass) on the cubed sphere grid, which preserves local solution bounds without the use of flux limiters. The optimization variables are the net mass updates to the cell, the objective is to minimize the discrepancy between these variables and suitable high-order cell mass update (the "target"), and the constraints are derived from the local solution bounds and the conservation of the total mass. The resulting robust and efficient algorithm for conservative and local bound-preserving transport on the sphere further demonstrates the flexibility and scope of the recently developed optimization-based modeling approach [1,2].

Currently, near ambient pressure PES is conducted using dexterously designed electron energy analyzers coupled with differentially pumped electron lenses which make it possible to conduct PES measurements at a few hPa. This report proposes an alternative ambient pressure approach that can be applied to a broad class of samples and be implemented in conventional PES instruments. It uses ultrathin electron transparent but molecular impermeable membranes to isolate the high pressure sample environment from the high vacuum PES detection system. We demonstrate that the separating graphene membrane windows are both mechanically robust and sufficiently transparent for electrons in a wide energy range to allow soft X-ray PES of liquid and gaseous water. The performed proof-of-principle experiments confirm the possibility to probe vacuum-incompatible toxic or reactive samples placed inside such hermetic, gas flow or fluidic environmental cells.

In this contribution, quantum chemical calculations are performed to investigate the redox behavior of quinoxalines, a promising family of active materials for non-aqueous flow batteries, as a function of substituent group. The reduction potentials of 40 quinoxaline derivatives with a range of electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups are computed. Calculations indicate the addition of electron-donating groups, particularly alkyl groups, can significantly lower the reduction potential albeit with a concomitant decrease in oxidative stability. A simple descriptor is derived for computing reduction potentials of quinoxaline derivatives from the LUMO energies of the neutral molecules without time-consuming free energy calculations. The relationship was validated for a broader set of aromatic nitrogen-containing molecules including pyrazine, phenazine, bipyridine, pyridine, pyrimidine, pyridazine, and quinoline, suggesting that it is a good starting point for large high-throughput computations to screen reduction windows of novel molecules.

The calculated natural populations of ApGe diatoms show that the electronic charge is transferred mainly from Ap to Ge, most of the Ap 5f subshell in ApGe being inert and not involved in chemical bonding. The calculated highest occupied molecular orbital-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (HOMO-LUMO) gaps of the ApGe diatoms exhibit an oscillating behavior from AcGe to BkGe, and a slight increase from CfGe to NoGe. The calculated magnetic moments of ApGe show that the total magnetic moment depends mainly on the 5f electrons of Ap in the ApGe diatoms, which generate the magnetic properties. Our calculated results are in good agreement with the published theoretical and experimental data.

J. Chem. Kinet., 1972, 4, 433-448) of the decomposition of the prototypical rocket fuel monomethylhydrazine (MMH) indicated a dominant role for the molecular channels producing NH3 and H-2 and their coproducts. In contrast, a recent ab initio transition state theory based master equation theoretical study (Zhang et al., Proc. Combust. Inst., 2011, 33, 425-432) indicated that simple N-N and C-N bond fissions dominate the kinetics. The possible role of molecular decomposition channels in MMH is explored further through additional investigations of the potential energy surface. These investigations consider the role of triplet channels, of roaming radical channels, and of some previously unexplored pathways for molecular decomposition. New ab initio transition state theory based master equation calculations provide revised predictions for the temperature and pressure dependence of the MMH decomposition kinetics that are in excellent agreement with recent shock tube measurements (Li et al., Comb. Flame, 2014, 161, 16-22). These calculations continue to suggest only a very limited contribution from the molecular elimination channels. A roaming pathway is suggested to provide the dominant route for direct formation of ammonia. The possible role of secondary abstraction reactions in the very-low-pressure pyrolysis experiments is briefly discussed.

Recent results are in agreement with one of the conflicting views on this problem, according to which triboelectricity in polymers is triggered by mechanochemical and wear or mass transfer phenomena. These results also challenge the widely accepted paradigm of one-way charge transfer that is the basis of the triboelectric series. Experimental results from powerful analytical techniques coupled to surface charge mapping support the following hypothesis: charge-bearing species are ionic polymer fragments formed through mechanical action. Beyond this, the atmosphere participates through tribocharge build-up and dissipation due to reactive plasma formation and charge exchange at the gas-solid interface, mediated by adsorption of non-neutral water, or ion partition during water adsorption, as in hygroelectricity phenomena.

However, the present synthesis processes, usually via graphene oxide (GO), are still very expensive. Here we propose an easy and affordable strategy based on sulfuric-acid-intercalated GO (SIGO) for the preparation of graphene-clamped nano-SnO2 (GCSnO(2)) with high performance for lithium-ion batteries. SIGO is the direct and readily available intermediate product during the oxidation of graphite in sulfuric acid, but has been overlooked for nearly a century. In the past, SIGO was washed to produce clean GO with great difficulties. An interesting characteristic of SIGO that we have found is its easy expansion and exfoliation to high-quality graphene at very low temperatures (just above 100 degrees C). In this work, GCSnO(2) containing 55 wt% SnO2 nanoparticles (5-10 nm in diameter) has been prepared by the expansion and exfoliation of nano-SnO2 coated SIGO at 300 degrees C in air. The samples have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The initial reversible charge-discharge capacity of GCSnO(2) was 858 mA h g(-1) at a current density of 200 mA h g(-1) in the potential range between 0.02 and 2.00 V. The capacity decayed to about 600 mA h g(-1) after 10 cycles and then remained almost unchanged; 572 mA h g(-1) remained after the studied 270 cycles. The contribution of SnO2 was estimated to be about 800 mA h g(-1) during cycling, corresponding to the full and stable utilization of the theoretical capacity of SnO2.

Two cases are presented: sub-monolayer (sub-ML) vanadium oxide (vanadia) grown on ML tungsten oxide and ML vanadia grown on sub-ML tungsten oxide. The X-ray standing wave (XSW) and Xray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) observations for both cases show coverage-dependent reversible redox-induced atomic-scale structural and chemical state changes. Atomic force microscopy shows that the mixed VOX/WOX overlayers have a conformal film-like structure in the as-deposited state. XSW analysis in light of XPS reveals that the V and W cations that are uncorrelated with the substrate lattice play an important role in catalytic redox reactions. Distinct differences in the redox-induced changes for these two mixed catalysts result from tuning the ratio of V to W, and relationships are drawn between the catalyst composition, structure, and chemistry. Comparison of these V-W mixed cases and the corresponding unmixed cases reveals a synergistic effect in which the reduction of W can be significantly enhanced by the addition of V.

Unfortunately, understanding the dynamics that govern how a cell will respond to diverse environmental cues is difficult using intuition alone. We introduce logic-based regulation models based on state-of-the-art work on statistical relational learning, and validate our approach by using it to analyze time-series gene expression data of the Hog1 pathway. Our results show that plausible regulatory networks can be learned from time series gene expression data using a probabilistic logical model. Hence, network hypotheses can be generated from existing gene expression data for use by experimental biologists.

Consequently, several algorithms for compressive sensing or sparse representations make use of soft or hard thresholding, both of which are examples of shrinkage mappings. Their usefulness comes from the fact that they are the proximal mappings of the l(1) and l(0) penalty functions, meaning that they provide the solution to the corresponding penalized least-squares problem. In this paper, we both generalize and reverse this process: we show that one can begin with any of a wide class of shrinkage mappings, and be guaranteed that it will be the proximal mapping of a penalty function with several desirable properties. Such a shrinkage-mapping/penalty-function pair comes ready-made for use in efficient algorithms. We give an example of such a shrinkage mapping, and use it to advance the state of the art in compressive sensing. C1 Los Alamos Natl Lab, Los Alamos, NM 87545 USA.

Using a state-of-the-art i-vector SV system and evaluating with the Wall-Street Journal (WSJ) corpus, our SV system has a 0.00% false rejection rate (FRR) and 1.74 x 10(-5) false acceptance rate (FAR). When the i-vector system is tested with state-of-the-art speaker-adaptive, hidden Markov model (HMM)-based synthetic speech generated from speaker models derived from the WSJ journal corpus, 22.9% of the matched claims are accepted highlighting the vulnerability of SV systems to synthetic speech. We propose a new synthetic speech detector (SSD) which uses previously-proposed features derived from image analysis of pitch patterns but extracted on phoneme-level segments and which leverages the available enrollment speech from the SV system. When the SSD is applied to human and synthetic speech accepted by the SV system, the overall system has a FRR of 7.35% and a FAR of 2.34 x 10(-4) which is lower than previously-reported systems and thus significantly reduces the vulnerability.

In this paper, we propose a meshfree interpolation method for obtaining such inverse maps using a non-negative linear combination of multiple interpolants. We show that the proposed scheme can improve upon the approximation power of its individual constituent kernels, and discuss the conditions under which its parameters can be uniquely estimated. We also provide an approach for estimating the intrinsic dimensionality (ID) of manifolds using the proposed inverse map. Experiments using multiple kernel interpolation for reconstruction of novel test data and ID estimation show an improved or similar performance compared to existing techniques.

This method performs very well in a variety of applications, but the independent sparse coding of each patch results in a representation that is not optimal for the image as a whole. A recent development is convolutional sparse coding, in which a sparse representation for an entire image is computed by replacing the linear combination of a set of dictionary vectors by the sum of a set of convolutions with dictionary filters. A disadvantage of this formulation is its computational expense, but the development of efficient algorithms has received some attention in the literature, with the current leading method exploiting a Fourier domain approach. The present paper introduces a new way of solving the problem in the Fourier domain, leading to substantially reduced computational cost.

In general, several considerations must be addressed to move technology from the prototype phase to complete deployment, while ensuring adequate return on investment. These considerations include: availability of capable manufacturing processes, appropriate material selection, and supply chain resiliency. For new energy production systems, it is also important to evaluate net energy production and life cycle impacts. There is significant uncertainty associated with each of these considerations. This paper proposes a framework for maximizing net energy production in full-scale systems considering these uncertainties. The utility of the framework is demonstrated through a case study focused on an analysis of prototyping and scale-up of artificial photosynthesis as a solar-fuel generator.

Three mold fabrication methods were compared: CNC machining of plastic, CNC machining of aluminum, and 3D printing of plastic. For the 3D printed parts, three finishes processes were explored: hot-pressing with a steel shaft, coating with printer resin, and mechanically polishing with a scraper and buffer. Mold fabrication and finishing methods were evaluated based on speed, difficulty and quality. From this preliminary investigation, resin-coated 3D printed molds show promise for use in rapid tooling for injection molding. (C) 2014 Published by Elsevier B.V.

The complex was a Lewis acid, and both anti and synbinding with Lewis bases were possible with the formation of octahedral Sn complexes. It was also a Lewis acid catalyst active for epoxide ring opening and hydride transfer.

The engineering of hierarchical superstructured MOFs, i.e., fabricating mesopores in microporous frameworks during the crystallization stage is expected to serve a myriad of applications for molecular adsorption, drug delivery, and catalysis. However, MOFs with mesopores are rarely studied because of the lack of a simple, effective way to construct mesoscale cavities in the structures. Here, we report the use of a perturbation-assisted nanofusion technique to construct hierarchically superstructured MOFs. In particular, the mesopores in the MOF structure enabled the confinement of large dye species, resulting in fluorescent MOF materials, which can serve as a new type of ratiometric luminescent sensors for typical volatile organic compounds.

An innovative route for the synthesis of Sn nanoparticles in such media is successfully developed. Compositions, structures, sizes and morphologies of NPs were characterized by high-energy X-ray diffraction (HEXRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Our findings indicated that (i) metallic tetragonal beta-Sn was obtained and (ii) the particle size could be tailored by tuning the nature of the RTILs, leading to nano-sized spherical particles with a diameter ranging from 3 to 10 nm depending on synthesis conditions. In order to investigate carbon composite materials for Li-ion batteries, Sn nanoparticles were successfully deposited on the surface of multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT). Moreover, electrochemical properties have been studied in relation to a structural study of the nanocomposites. The poor electrochemical performances as a negative electrode in Li-ion batteries is due to a significant amount of RTIL trapped within the pores of the nanotubes as revealed by XPS investigations. This dramatically affected the gravimetric capacity of the composites and limited the diffusion of lithium. The findings of this work however offer valuable insights into the exciting possibilities for synthesis of novel nano-sized particles and/or alloys (e.g. Sn-Cu, Sn-Co, Sn-Ni, etc.) and the importance of carbon morphology in metal pulverization during the alloying/dealloying process as well as prevention of ionic liquid trapping.

Existing and proposed spallation based UCN sources employ two distinct strategies. In the first, the UCN converter (superfluid He-4, or solid D-2) is placed in the immediate vicinity of the spallation target. In the second, a converter (usually superfluid He) is placed at the output end of a cold neutron guide fed by the spallation target cold source. Both of these approaches are considered in relation to the European Long Pulse Spallation Source. (C) 2013 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V. C1 [Pendlebury, J.

In a combined setup permitting simultaneous X-ray diffuse scattering (XDS) and spectroscopic measurements at a MHz repetition rate we have unraveled the interplay between intramolecular dynamics and the intermolecular caging solvent response with 100 ps time resolution. On this time scale the ultrafast spin transition including intramolecular geometric structure changes as well as the concomitant bulk solvent heating process due to energy dissipation from the excited HS molecule are long completed. The heating is nevertheless observed to further increase due to the excess energy between HS and LS states released on a subnanosecond time scale. The analysis of the spectroscopic data allows precise determination of the excited population which efficiently reduces the number of free parameters in the XDS analysis, and both combined permit extraction of information about the structural dynamics of the first solvation shell.

Time-domain studies using transient X-ray absorption and emission techniques have proven extremely valuable to investigate electronic and structural dynamics in isolated and solvated molecules. Here, we describe the implementation of a picosecond time-resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (TRXPS) technique at the Advanced Light Source (ALS) and its application to monitor photoinduced electron dynamics at the technologically pertinent interface formed by N3 dye molecules anchored to nanoporous ZnO. Indications for a dynamical chemical shift of the Ru3d photoemission line originating from the N3 metal centre are observed similar to 30 ps after resonant HOMO-LUMO excitation with a visible laser pump pulse. The transient changes in the TRXPS spectra are accompanied by a characteristic surface photovoltage (SPV) response of the ZnO substrate on a pico-to nanosecond time scale. The interplay between the two phenomena is discussed in the context of possible electronic relaxation and recombination pathways that lead to the neutralisation of the transiently oxidised dye after ultrafast electron injection. A detailed account of the experimental technique is given including an analysis of the chemical modification of the nano-structured ZnO substrate during extended periods of solution-based dye sensitisation and its relevance for studies using surface-sensitive spectroscopy techniques.

However, interpretation of this information in studies of "natural" materials such as biological or environmental science specimens can be complicated by the complex mixtures of spectroscopically complicated materials present. We describe here the shortcomings that sometimes arise in previously-employed approaches such as cluster analysis, and we present a new approach based on non-negative matrix approximation (NNMA) analysis with both sparseness and cluster-similarity regularizations. In a preliminary study of the large-scale biochemical organization of human spermatozoa, NNMA analysis delivers results that nicely show the major features of spermatozoa with no physically erroneous negative weightings or thicknesses in the calculated image.

For example, predicting the influence of climate change on soil organic matter storage and stability requires models capable of addressing complex biotic/abiotic interactions of rhizosphere and weathering processes. Reactive transport modeling provides a powerful framework simulating these interactions and the resulting influence on soil physical and chemical characteristics. Incorporation of organic reactions in an existing reactive transport model framework has yielded novel insights into soil weathering and development but much more work is required to adequately capture root and microbial dynamics in the rhizosphere. This endeavor provides many advantages over traditional soil biogeochemical models but also many challenges. (C) 2014 Published by Elsevier B.V.

We monitored ACC crystallization in the presence of varying concentrations of aspartic acid (ASP) and glycine (GLY). We observed an increase in ACC lifetime with increasing amino acid concentrations and showed that the amino acid molecules sorbed onto the ACC particles. However, little if any difference in composition and atomic structure or the so formed ACC was observed. Similarly, the crystallization pathway of ACC via vaterite and calcite although delayed, was only slightly affected by the added amino acids. The only exemption was at the highest tested ASP concentration where ACC formation was inhibited, The calcite crystals that formed in the presence of ASP had rounded edges and rough surfaces, features that are not observed for the pure, inorganic calcite or calcite formed in the presence of GLY. Overall, the results suggest that the amino acids affected ACC lifetime through the inhibition of crystal nucleation and growth, more so in the presence of ASP than GLY.

The model, in contrast to the steady state model proposed by DePaolo(2011), explicitly considers isotopic equilibration in the absence of bulk chemical disequilibrium by making use of a solid-solution model for the precipitating (and potentially) dissolving mineral phase. The model is applied to the subsequent isotopic equilibration of the isotopically light bulk or surface layer on calcite formed as a result of kinetic Ca fractionation associated with precipitation. The model is then applied to Ca isotopic re-equilibration at marine Site 984 in the mid-Atlantic using the Ca isotope data of Turchyn and DePaolo (2011) based on a modification of the reactive transport model presented in Maher et al. (2006). The simulations with the new model CrunchTope demonstrate that it is impossible to match the observed Ca isotope profiles at Site 984 using the same rate constants as were used to describe calcite precipitation. To match the isotopic data requires re-equilibration rate constants that are about 4 orders of magnitude smaller than those for bulk precipitation using a linear TST rate law. (C) 2014 The Authors.

The rocks studied usually have a mixed mineralogy and represent a continuous spectrum from pure limestone to pure dolomite. This is due to varying degrees of dolomitisation, dolomite cementation and dedolomitisation. There are two main types of dolomite: replacement dolomite (mostly planar unimodal dolosparite mosaics that are mainly fabric-destructive) and cement dolomite (planar isopachous rims and pore-filling non-planar saddle-dolomite crystals). The timing of dolomitisation and dolomite cementation is difficult to ascertain, but comparing petrographical and geochemical data indicates that the reef carbonates were dolomitised shortly after deposition in a near-surface sabkha/seepage-reflux and then in burial systems. It seems that many of the dolomites gain their present isotopic composition when buried in relatively high-temperature conditions, as shown by low oxygen isotopic ratios (delta O-18 as low as 9 parts per thousand PDB) and the presence of saddle dolomite. No isotopic support for a water-mixing mechanism is documented. C1 [Jasionowski, Marek; Peryt, Tadeusz Marek] Polish Geol Inst, Natl Res Inst, PL-00975 Warsaw, Poland.

We identify four classes of platform molecules that can be obtained in an initial chemical processing step: (i) sugars, (ii) dehydration products, (iii) polyols and (iv) lignin monomers. Special emphasis is placed on reporting and comparing parameters that affect process economics and/or sustainability, including product yields, amount of catalyst used, processing conditions, and product concentrations. We discuss the economic trade-offs associated with choices related to these parameters, depending on the product that is targeted. We also address the effects of real biomass on the ability to recover, recycle, and potentially regenerate catalysts and solvents used in the biomass conversion processes. C1 [Luterbacher, J.

TI Upgrading biomass pyrolysis vapors over beta-zeolites: role of silica-to-alumina ratio SO GREEN CHEMISTRY LA English DT Article ID CATALYTIC FAST PYROLYSIS; FLUIDIZED-BED REACTOR; CRUDE BIO-OIL; HZSM-5 ZEOLITE; MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION; CONVERSION; HYDROCARBONS; AROMATICS; PRODUCTS; TRANSFORMATION AB The conversion of biomass primary pyrolysis vapors over several beta-zeolites with silica-to-alumina ratios (SAR) varying from 21 to 250 was carried out in a flow microreactor to investigate the effect of number of acid sites on product speciation and deactivation of the catalyst. Experiments were conducted using a horizontal fixed bed semi-batch reactor in which up to 40 discrete 50 mg boats of biomass were pyrolyzed and the vapors upgraded over 0.5 g of the catalyst. Products were measured with a molecular beam mass spectrometer (MBMS). These studies were complemented using a tandem micropyrolyzer connected to a GCMS (py-GCMS) for speciation and quantifying the products. In the py-GCMS experiments, several 0.5 mg loads of pine were pyrolyzed sequentially and the vapors upgraded over 4 mg of catalyst. In all of these experiments, real-time measurements of the products formed were conducted as the catalyst aged and deactivated during upgrading. The results from these experiments showed that: (1) fresh catalyst for beta-zeolites with lower SAR (more acid sites) produced primarily aromatic hydrocarbons and olefins with no detectable oxygen-containing species; (2) a suite of oxygenated products was observed from fresh catalysts with high SAR (few acid sites), indicating that 0.5 g of these catalyst materials did not have sufficient acid sites to deoxygenate vapors produced from pyrolysis of 50 mg of pine. This suite of oxygen containing products consisted of furans, phenol and cresols. The amount of coke deposited on each catalyst and the yield of aromatic hydrocarbons increased with the number of acid sites. However, while the catalysts were active, the biomass selectivity towards coke and hydrocarbons remained essentially constant on the catalysts of varying SAR.

At this time of significant disruption, it is critically important to understand specific application requirements, so that these architectural changes can include features that satisfy the requirements of contemporary extreme-scale scientific applications. To address this need, we have developed a methodology supported by a toolkit that allows us to investigate detailed computation, memory, and communication behaviors of applications at varying levels of resolution. Using this methodology, we performed a broad-based, detailed characterization of 12 contemporary scalable scientific applications and benchmarks. Our analysis reveals numerous behaviors that sometimes contradict conventional wisdom about scientific applications. For example, the results reveal that only one of our applications executes more floating-point instructions than other types of instructions. In another example, we found that communication topologies are very regular, even for applications that, at first glance, should be highly irregular. These observations emphasize the necessity of measurement-driven analysis of real applications, and help prioritize features that should be included in future architectures.

Current predictions suggest that, as systems grow in size, failures will occur more frequently. Because increases in failure frequency reduce the performance and scalability of these systems, significant effort has been devoted to developing and refining resilience mechanisms to mitigate the impact of failures. However, effective evaluation of these mechanisms has been challenging. Current systems are smaller and have significantly different architectural features (e.g., interconnect, persistent storage) than we expect to see in next-generation systems. To overcome these challenges, we propose the use of simulation. Simulation has been shown to be an effective tool for investigating performance characteristics of applications on future systems. In this work, we: identify the set of system characteristics that are necessary for accurate performance prediction of resilience mechanisms for HPC systems and applications; demonstrate how these system characteristics can be incorporated into an existing large-scale simulator; and evaluate the predictive performance of our modified simulator. We also describe how we were able to optimize the simulator for large temporal and spatial scales-allowing the simulator to run 4x faster and use over 100x less memory.

We use these techniques to analyze representative full-scale production applications from five important Exascale target areas. We find that despite a great diversity in prefetching effectiveness across and even within applications, there is a strong correlation between regions where prefetching is most needed, due to high levels of memory traffic, and where it is most effective. We also observe that the application-centric analysis can explain many of the differences in prefetching effectiveness observed across the studied applications.

In this paper, we present optimization and tuning of HipGISAXS, a parallel X-ray scattering simulation code [9], on various massively-parallel state-of-the-art supercomputers based on multi and many-core processors. In particular, we target clusters of general-purpose multi-cores such as Intel Sandy Bridge and AMD Magny Cours, and many-core accelerators like Nvidia Kepler GPUs and Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors. We present both high-level algorithmic and low-level architecture-aware optimization and tuning methodologies on these platforms. We cover a detailed performance study of our codes on single and multiple nodes of several current top-ranking supercomputers. Additionally, we implement autotuning of many of the algorithmic and optimization parameters for dynamic selection of their optimal values to ensure high-performance and high-efficiency.

The problem, in mathematical terms, has been expressed as a single objective optimization problem. The expected concerns of next-generation systems, however, demand a more detailed analysis of the interplay among execution time and other metrics. Metrics such as power, performance, energy, and resiliency may all be targeted together and traded against one another. We present a multi objective formulation of the code optimization problem. Our proposed framework helps one explore potential tradeoffs among multiple objectives and provides a significantly richer analysis than can be achieved by treating additional metrics as hard constraints. We empirically examine a variety of metrics, architectures, and code optimization decisions and provide evidence that such tradeoffs exist in practice.

GA is used in a number of application codes, especially NWChem, and provides a superset of SHMEM functionality that includes remote accumulate, among other features. Remote accumulate is an active-message operation that applies y+ = a * x at the target rather than just y = x (as in Put) which gives the programmer additional choices with respect to algorithm design. In this paper, we discuss and evaluate communication scenarios for dense block-tensor contractions, one of the mainstays of the NWChem computation chemistry package. We show that apart from the classical approach involving dynamic scheduling of data blocks for load balancing, reordering one-sided Get and Accumulate calls affects the performance of tensor contractions on leadership-class machines substantially. In order to understand why this reordering affects the performance, we develop a proxy application for the NWChem Tensor Contraction Engine (TCE) module. We utilize this proxy application to compare different implementations with a focus on communication.

Alec TI Insights into capacity loss mechanisms of all-solid-state Li-ion batteries with Al anodes SO JOURNAL OF MATERIALS CHEMISTRY A LA English DT Article ID ELECTROCHEMICAL LITHIATION; ELECTRODE MATERIALS; LITHIUM; ALUMINUM; DIFFUSION; SILICON; DELITHIATION; SYSTEM AB The atomistic mechanism for lithiation/delithiation in all-solid-state batteries is still an open question, and the 'holy grail' to engineer devices with extended lifetime. Here, by combining real-time scanning electron microscopy in ultra-high vacuum with electrochemical cycling, we quantify the dynamic degradation of Al anodes in Li-ion all-solid-state batteries, a promising alternative for ultra lightweight devices. We find that AlLi alloy mounds are formed on the top surface of the Al anode and that degradation of battery capacity occurs because of Li trapped in them. Our approach establishes a new platform for probing the real-time degradation of electrodes, and can be expanded to other complex systems, allowing for high throughput characterization of batteries with nanoscale resolution.

TI SnTe-AgBiTe2 as an efficient thermoelectric material with low thermal conductivity SO JOURNAL OF MATERIALS CHEMISTRY A LA English DT Article ID PERFORMANCE BULK THERMOELECTRICS; P-TYPE AGSNMSBTEM+2; HIGH FIGURE; SOLID-SOLUTIONS; SNTE; ALLOYS; MERIT; PBTE; AGPBMSBTE2+M; CONVERGENCE AB SnTe is an intriguing alternative to its sister compound PbTe in thermoelectric energy conversion because of their electronic and structural similarity; however, it is challenging to optimize its thermoelectric performance to the level of PbTe because of the difficulties in decreasing its intrinsically large hole population and high thermal conductivity arising from the tin vacancies. We demonstrate here that by alloying some AgBiTe2 in SnTe, thus forming AgSnxBiTex+2 compositions the hole concentration can be duly decreased because of the high efficiency of Bi as an electron donor. The lattice thermal conductivity is also decreased due to the strong scattering of phonons (by point defect scattering as well as Ag-rich nanostructures) to achieve a value of similar to 0.7 W m(-1) K-1 at similar to 750 K. As a result, a high thermoelectric figure ZT of merit of similar to 1.1 at 775 K is achieved by chemical composition optimization (x similar to 15), making lead free SnTe-AgBiTe2 a promising thermoelectric material.

However, a key limitation for the utility of this type of battery is in its poor rate capability because the cathode material, CFx, is an intrinsically poor electronic conductor. Here, we report on our development of a controlled process of surface de-fluorination under mild hydrothermal conditions to modify the highly fluorinated CFx. The modified CFx, consisting of an in situ generated shell component of F-graphene layers, possesses good electronic conductivity and removes the transporting barrier for lithium ions, yielding a high-capacity performance and an excellent rate-capability. Indeed, a capacity of 500 mA h g(-1) and a maximum power density of 44 800 W kg(-1) can be realized at the ultrafast rate of 30 C (24 A g(-1)), which is over one order of magnitude higher than that of the state-of-the-art primary lithium-ion batteries.

It is critical to develop methods and tools to automatically assert the correctness of programs generated by such modern optimizing compilers. We present a framework to verify if two programs (one possibly being a transformed variant of the other) are semantically equivalent. We focus on scientific kernels and a state-of-the-art polyhedral compiler implemented in ROSE. We check the correctness of a set of polyhedral transformations by combining the computation of a state transition graph with a rewrite system to transform floating point computations and array update operations of one program such that we can match them as terms with those of the other program. We demonstrate our approach on a collection of benchmarks from the PolyBench/C suite. C1 [Schordan, Markus; Lin, Pei-Hung; Quinlan, Dan] Lawrence Livermore Natl Lab, Livermore, CA 94550 USA.

As such, numerous methods have been developed to synthesize crystals with tunable shapes, sizes, and facets by adding foreign species that promote or restrict growth on specific sites. Many hypotheses regarding how and why certain species direct growth have been put forward, however there has been no consensus on a unifying mechanism of nanocrystal growth. Herein, we develop and demonstrate the capabilities of a mathematical growth model for predicting metal nanoparticle shapes by studying a well known procedure that employs AgNO3 to produce {111} faceted Pt nanocrystals. The insight gained about the role of auxiliary species is then utilized to predict the shape of Pd nanocrystals and to corroborate other shape-directing syntheses reported in literature. The fundamental understanding obtained herein by combining modeling with experimentation is a step toward computationally guided syntheses and, in principle, applicable to predictive design of the growth of crystalline solids at all length scales (nano to bulk).

We used mixed solvents of dimethylformamide (DMF) and toluene to control the morphology as well as the time to achieve the targeted morphology via self-assembly of BCPs. By precisely controlling the volume ratio of DMF and toluene, well-ordered line, honeycomb, circular hole, and lamellar nanostructures were obtained from a cylinder-forming poly(styrene-b-2-vinylpyridine) (PS-b-P2VP) BCP with high chi. Furthermore, a well-aligned 12 nm line pattern was successfully achieved in the guiding template within one minute using the mixed solvents. This practical method may also be applicable to self-assembly of other BCPs, providing more opportunities for the next-generation sub-10 nm lithography applications.

In this article, utilizing monolayer MoS2 on LaAlO3 and SrTiO3 substrates, as well as SiO2 and Gel-film as reference substrates similar to previously reported work [Nano Res, 2014, 7, 561], we systematically investigate the substrate effect on the photoluminescence of monolayer MoS2. We observed significantly substrate-dependant photoluminescence of monolayer MoS2, originating from substrate-to-film charge transfer. We found that SiO2 substrate introduces the most charge doping while SrTiO3 introduces less charge transfer. Through the selection of desired substrate, we are able to induce different amounts of charge into the monolayer MoS2, which consequently modifies the neutral exciton and charged exciton (trion) emissions. Finally, we proposed a band-diagram model to elucidate the relation between charge transfer and the substrate Fermi level and work function. Our work demonstrates that the substrate charge transfer exerts a strong influence on the monolayer MoS2 photoluminescence property, which should be considered during device design and application. The work also provides a possible route to modify the thin-film photoluminescence property via substrate engineering for future device design.

Novel catalytic properties were discovered for these subnanometer clusters, suggesting that they may be good candidate materials for CO2 reduction. The calculated overpotentials for producing CH4 are in the order, Co-4 < Fe-4 < Ni-4 < Cu-4 < Pt-4, with both Co-4 and Fe-4 having overpotentials less than 1 V. Investigation of the effects of supports found that a Cu-4 cluster on a graphene defect site has a limiting potential for producing CH4 comparable to that of a Cu (111) surface. However, due to the strong electronic interaction with the Cu-4 cluster, the defective graphene support has the advantage of significantly increasing the limiting potentials for the reactions competing with CH4, such as the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and CO production.

The electronic structures of silver clusters and support materials are studied upon exposure to various atmospheres (ultrahigh vacuum, O-2 and CO) at different temperatures. Compared to bulk silver, the binding energies of silver clusters are about 0.55 eV higher on TiO2 and 0.95 eV higher on Al2O3 due to the final state effect and the interaction with supports. No clear size effect of the silver XPS peak is observed on different silver clusters among these samples. Silver clusters on titania show better stability against sintering. Al 2p and Ti 2p core level peak positions of the alumina and titania support surfaces change upon exposure to oxygen while the Ag 3d core level position remains unchanged. We discuss the origin of these core level shifts and their implications for catalytic properties of Ag clusters.

Materials discovery strategies have afforded numerous new dyes; yet, corresponding solution-based DSC device performance has little improved upon 11% efficiency, achieved using the N719 dye over two decades ago. Research on these dyes has nevertheless revealed relationships between the molecular structure of dyes and their associated DSC efficiency. Here, such structure-property relationships have been codified in the form of molecular dye design rules, which have been judiciously sequenced in an algorithm to enable large-scale data mining of dye structures with optimal DSC performance. This affords, for the first time, a DSC-specific dye-discovery strategy that predicts new classes of dyes from surveying a representative set of chemical space. A lead material from these predictions is experimentally validated, showing DSC efficiency that is comparable to many well-known organic dyes. This demonstrates the power of this approach.

TI Infrared detection of (H2O)(20) isomers of exceptional stability: a drop-like and a face-sharing pentagonal prism cluster SO PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY CHEMICAL PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID SIZE-SELECTED WATER; METHANOL CLUSTERS; GLOBAL MINIMA; SPECTROSCOPY; ELECTRON; HYDROGEN; HEXAMER; ICE; TETRAMER; SPECTRA AB Water clusters with internally solvated water molecules are widespread models that mimic the local environment of the condensed phase. The appearance of stable (H2O)(n) cluster isomers having a fully coordinated interior molecule has been theoretically predicted to occur around the n = 20 size range. However, our current knowledge about the size regime in which those structures become energetically more stable has remained hypothetical from simulations in lieu of the absence of precisely size-resolved experimental measurements. Here we report size and isomer selective infrared (IR) spectra of (H2O) 20 clusters tagged with a sodium atom by employing IR excitation-modulated photoionization spectroscopy. The observed absorption patterns in the OH stretching region are consistent with the theoretically predicted spectra of two structurally distinct isomers of exceptional stability: a drop-like cluster with a fully coordinated (interior) water molecule and an edge-sharing pentagonal prism cluster in which all atoms are on the surface. The drop-like structure is the first experimentally detected water cluster exhibiting the local connectivity found in liquid water.

Evolution of REI photoluminescence (PL) in small compartments inside a silica hydrogel, mimic to a soft matter bio-environment, has been studied and explained within a solvation model. The model uncovered the origin of high PL efficiency to be the formation of REI complexes, surrounded by bile salt (DOC) molecules. Comparative study of these REI-DOC complexes in bulk water solution and those enclosed inside the hydrogel revealed a strong correlation between an up to 5 x -longer lifetime of REIs and appearance of the DOC ordered phase, further confirmed by dynamics of REI solvation shells, REI diffusion experiments and morphological characterization of microstructure of the hydrogel.

If widely adopted, there is the potential for significant impacts on the energy and environmental characteristics of the transportation sector. This paper provides an outline of key drivers likely to influence the magnitude and direction of these impacts. We identify three broad categories: vehicle characteristics, transportation network, and consumer choice. Optimistically, AVs could facilitate unprecedented levels of efficiency and radically reduce transportation sector energy and environmental impacts; on the other hand, consumer choices could result in a net increase in energy consumption and environmental impacts. As the technology matures and approaches market penetration, improved models of AV usage, especially consumer preferences, will facilitate the development of policies that promote reductions in energy consumption.

However, AVs also have the potential to increase fuel consumption through effects such as longer distances traveled, increased use of transportation by underserved groups, and increased travel speeds. Here we collect available estimates for many potential effects and use a modified Kaya Identity approach to estimate the overall range of possible effects. Depending on the specific effects that come to pass, widespread AV deployment can lead to dramatic fuel savings, but has the potential for unintended consequences.

Two significantly different 3D-printers are used in this study. The first is a small scale commercially available Solidoodle 3 printer, which prints parts with layer thicknesses on the order of 125 mu m. The second printer used is a "Big Area Additive Manufacturing" (BAAM) 3D-printer developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The BAAM prints parts with a layer thicknesses of 4.06 mm. Of particular interest is the temperature of the previously deposited layer as the new hot layer is about to be extruded onto it. The two layers are expected have a stronger bond if the temperature of the substrate layer is above the glass transition temperature. This paper describes the measurement technique and results for a study of temperature decay and substrate layer temperature for ABS thermoplastic with and without the addition of chopped carbon fibers.

Technological trends have long been reducing the time to perform an arithmetic operation, so it is no longer the bottleneck in many algorithms; rather, communication, or moving data, is the bottleneck. This motivates us to seek algorithms that move as little data as possible, either between levels of a memory hierarchy or between parallel processors over a network. In this paper we summarize recent progress in three aspects of this problem. First we describe lower bounds on communication. Some of these generalize known lower bounds for dense classical (O(n(3))) matrix multiplication to all direct methods of linear algebra, to sequential and parallel algorithms, and to dense and sparse matrices. We also present lower bounds for Strassen-like algorithms, and for iterative methods, in particular Krylov subspace methods applied to sparse matrices. Second, we compare these lower bounds to widely used versions of these algorithms, and note that these widely used algorithms usually communicate asymptotically more than is necessary. Third, we identify or invent new algorithms for most linear algebra problems that do attain these lower bounds, and demonstrate large speed-ups in theory and practice.

Stochastic finite element methods refer to an extensive class of algorithms for the approximate solution of partial differential equations having random input data, for which spatial discretization is effected by a finite element method. Fully discrete approximations require further discretization with respect to solution dependences on the random variables. For this purpose several approaches have been developed, including intrusive approaches such as stochastic Galerkin methods, for which the physical and probabilistic degrees of freedom are coupled, and non-intrusive approaches such as stochastic sampling and interpolatory-type stochastic collocation methods, for which the physical and probabilistic degrees of freedom are uncoupled. All these method classes are surveyed in this article, including some novel recent developments. Details about the construction of the various algorithms and about theoretical error estimates and complexity analyses of the algorithms are provided. Throughout, numerical examples are used to illustrate the theoretical results and to provide further insights into the methodologies.

The Northwest Infrared Database (NWIR) contains quantitative, gas-phase infrared spectra of nearly 500 pure chemical species that can be used for a variety of applications such as atmospheric monitoring, biomass burning studies, etc. The data, recorded at 0.1 cm(-1) resolution, are pressure broadened to one atmosphere (N-2). Each spectrum is a composite composed of multiple individual measurements. Recent updates to the database include over 60 molecules that are known or suspected biomass-burning effluents. Examples from this set of measurements will be presented and experimental details will be discussed in the context of the utility of NWIR for environmental applications.

This paper defines classes of equivalent target motion and solves the GMTI problem up to membership in an equivalence class using single-channel SAR phase data. Definitions are presented for endo-and exo-clutter that are consistent with the equivalence classes, and it is shown that most target motion can be detected, i.e. the set of endo-clutter targets is very small. We exploit the sparsity of moving targets in the scene to develop an algorithm to resolve target motion up to membership in an equivalence class, and demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed technique using simulated data.

One class of riboswitch parts that has great potential for sensing and regulation of protein levels is aptamer-coupled ribozymes (aptazymes). These devices are comprised of an aptamer domain selected to bind a particular ligand, a ribozyme domain, and a communication module that regulates the ribozyme activity based on the state of the aptamer. We describe a broadly applicable method for coupling a novel, newly selected aptamer to a ribozyme to generate functional aptazymes via in vitro and in vivo selection. To illustrate this approach, we describe experimental procedures for selecting aptazymes assembled from aptamers that bind p-amino-phenylalanine and a hammerhead ribozyme. Because this method uses selection, it does not rely on sequence-specifi c design and thus should be generalizable for the generation of in vivo operational aptazymes that respond to any targeted molecules.

TI Atmospheric amines and ammonia measured with a chemical ionization mass spectrometer (CIMS) SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID SECONDARY ORGANIC AEROSOL; THERMODYNAMIC-EQUILIBRIUM MODEL; PRIMARY ALIPHATIC-AMINES; SULFURIC-ACID; PARTICLE-PHASE; BOREAL FOREST; NUCLEATION; GAS; AIR; TRIMETHYLAMINE AB We report measurements of ambient amines and ammonia with a fast response chemical ionization mass spectrometer (CIMS) in a southeastern US forest and a moderately polluted midwestern site during the summer. At the forest site, mostly C3-amines (from pptv to tens of pptv) and ammonia (up to 2 ppbv) were detected, and they both showed temperature dependencies. Aerosol-phase amines measured thermal-desorption chemical ionization mass spectrometer (TDCIMS) showed a higher mass fraction in the evening with cooler temperatures and lower in the afternoon with warmer temperatures, a trend opposite to the gas-phase amines. Concentrations of aerosol-phase primary amines measured with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) from micron and submicron particles were 2 orders of magnitude higher than the gas-phase amines. These results indicate that gas to particle conversion is one of the major processes that control the ambient amine concentrations at this forest site. Temperature dependencies of C3-amines and ammonia also imply reversible processes of evaporation of these nitrogen-containing compounds from soil surfaces in daytime and deposition to soil surfaces at nighttime. During the transported biomass burning plume events, various amines (C1-C6) appeared at the pptv level, indicating that biomass burning is a substantial source of amines in the southeastern US. At the moderately polluted Kent site, there were higher concentrations of C1- to C6-amines (pptv to tens of pptv) and ammonia (up to 6 ppbv). C1- to C3-amines and ammonia were well correlated with the ambient temperature. C4- to C6-amines showed frequent spikes during the nighttime, suggesting that they were emitted from local sources. These abundant amines and ammonia may in part explain the frequent new particle formation events reported from Kent. Higher amine concentrations measured at the polluted site than at the rural forested site highlight the importance of constraining anthropogenic emission sources of amines.

These theorems start with fundamental properties of betweenness, and end with the development of geometric definitions of addition and multiplication that permit the representation of models of geometry as planes over Euclidean fields, or over real-closed fields in the case of full continuity. They include the four challenge problems left unsolved by Quaife, who two decades ago found some OTTER proofs in Tarskian geometry (solving challenges issued in [15]). Quaife's four challenge problems were: every line segment has a midpoint; every segment is the base of some isosceles triangle; the outer Pasch axiom (assuming inner Pasch as an axiom); and the first outer connectivity property of betweenness. These are to be proved without any parallel axiom and without even line-circle continuity. These are difficult theorems, the first proofs of which were the heart of Gupta's Ph. D. thesis under Tarski. OTTER proved them all in 2012. Our success, we argue, is due to improvements in techniques of automated deduction, rather than to increases in computer speed and memory. The theory of Hilbert (1899) can be translated into Tarski's language, interpreting lines as pairs of distinct points, and angles as ordered triples of non-collinear points. Under this interpretation, the axioms of Hilbert either occur among, or are easily deduced from, theorems in the first 11 (of 16) chapters of Szmielew. We have found Otter proofs of all of Hilbert's axioms from Tarski's axioms (i.e. through Satz 11.49 of Szmielew, plus Satz 12.11). Narboux and Braun have recently checked these same proofs in Coq.

O-GlcNAcylation was discovered three decades ago and its significance has been implicated in several disease states, such as metabolic diseases, cancer and neurological diseases. Yet it remains technically challenging to characterize comprehensively and quantitatively because of its low abundance, low stoichiometry and extremely labile nature under conventional collision-induced dissociation tandem MS conditions. Herein, we review the recent advances addressing these challenges in developing proteomic approaches for site-specific O-GlcNAcylation analysis, including specific enrichment of O-GlcNAc peptides/proteins, unambiguous site-determination of O-GlcNAc modification and quantitative analysis of O-GlcNAcylation.

Thus, not surprisingly, one finds that many concepts developed to describe cavity optomechanical systems with solid-state mechanical oscillators have also been developed in a parallel stream of scientific literature pertaining to cold atomic physics. In this chapter, I describe several of these ideas from atomic physics, including optical methods for detecting quantum states of single cold atoms and atomic ensembles, motional effects within single-atom cavity quantum electrodynamics, and collective optical effects such as superradiant Rayleigh scattering and cavity cooling of atomic ensembles. Against this background, I present several experimental realizations of cavity optomechanics in which an atomic ensemble serves as the mechanical element. These are divided between systems driven either by sending light onto the cavity input mirrors ("cavity pumped"), or by sending light onto the atomic ensemble ("side pumped"). The cavity-pumped systems clearly exhibit the key phenomena of cavity optomechanical systems, including cavity-aided position sensing, coherent back action effects such as the optical spring and cavity cooling, and optomechanical bistability; several of these effects have been detected not only for linear but also for quadratic optomechanical coupling. The extreme isolation of the atomic ensemble from mechanical disturbances, and its strong polarizability near the atomic resonance frequency, allowthese optomechanical systems to be highly sensitive to quantum radiation pressure fluctuations. I describe several ways in which these fluctuations are observed experimentally. I conclude by considering the side-pumped cavity experiments in terms of cavity optomechanics, complementing recent treatments of these systems in terms of condensed-matter physics concepts such as quantum phase transitions and supersolidity.

It is seen that solvent affects the final ratio of PAN to pyrogallol[4] arene, while aliphatic tail-length influences the crystal packing, C-H center dot center dot center dot pi interactions, and overall hydrogen bonding. With an aliphatic tail-length of one carbon atom, there is an atypical bilayer structure. As the aliphatic tail-length increases, the resulting cocrystals have the characteristic bilayer structure as well as an increased number of C-H center dot center dot center dot pi interactions and decreased hydrogen bonding with the PAN molecules.

TI A strong steric hindrance effect on ground state, excited state, and charge separated state properties of a Cu-I-diimine complex captured by X-ray transient absorption spectroscopy SO DALTON TRANSACTIONS LA English DT Article ID PHOTOINDUCED STRUCTURAL-CHANGE; PHOTOPHYSICAL PROPERTIES; COPPER(I) COMPLEXES; SOLAR-CELLS; DYNAMICS; PHENANTHROLINES; MONONUCLEAR; SINGLET; MEDIA AB Photophysical and structural properties of a Cu-I diimine complex with very strong steric hindrance, [Cu-I(dppS)(2)](+) (dppS = 2,9-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline disulfonic acid disodium salt), are investigated by optical and X-ray transient absorption (OTA and XTA) spectroscopy. The bulky phenylsulfonic acid groups at 2,9 positions of phenanthroline ligands force the ground state and the metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) excited state to adopt a flattened pseudo-tetrahedral coordination geometry in which the solvent access to the copper center is completely blocked. We analyzed the MLCT state dynamics and structures as well as those of the charge separated state resulting from the interfacial electron injection from the MLCT state to TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs). The OTA results show the absence of the sub-picosecond component previously assigned as the time constant for flattening, while the two observed time constants are assigned to a relatively slow intersystem crossing (ISC) rate (similar to 13.8 ps) and a decay rate (100 ns) of the [Cu-I(dppS)(2)](+) MLCT state in water. These results correlate well with the XTA studies that resolved a flattened tetrahedral Cu(I) coordination geometry in the ground state. Probing the (MLCT)-M-3 state structure with XTA establishes that the (MLCT)-M-3 state has the same oxidation state as the copper center in [Cu-II(dppS)(2)](2+) and the Cu-N distance is reduced by 0.06 angstrom compared to that of the ground state, accompained by a rotation of phenyl rings located at 2,9 positions of phenanthroline. The structural dynamics of the photoinduced charge transfer process in the [Cu-I(dppS) (2)](+)/TiO2 hybrid is also investigated, which suggests a more restricted environment for the complex upon binding to TiO2 NPs. Moreover, the Cu-N bond length of the oxidized state of [ Cu-I(dppS)(2)](+) after electron injection to TiO2 NPs shortens by 0.05 angstrom compared to that in the ground state. The interpretation of these observed structural changes associated with excited and charge separated states will be discussed. These results not only set an example for applying XTA in capturing the intermediate structure of metal complex/semiconductor NP hybrids but also provide guidance for designing efficient CuI diimine complexes with optimized structures for application in solar-to-electricity conversion.

Here, by exploring the ORR on Pt single crystals, cubo-octahedral (polyhedral) Pt NPs with different sizes (ranging from 2 to 7 nm), and 7-8 nm Pt NPs with different shapes (cubo-octahedral vs. cube vs. octahedral), we presented a surface science approach capable of rationalizing, and ultimately understanding, fundamental relationships between stability of Pt NPs and activity of the ORR in acidic media. By exploring the potential induced dissolution/ re-deposition of Pt between 0.05 and 1.3 V, we found that concomitant variations in morphology of Pt(111) and Pt(100) lead to narrowing differences in activity between Pt single crystal surfaces. We also found that regardless of an initial size or shape, NPs are metastable and easily evolve to thermodynamically equilibrated shape and size with very similar activity for the ORR. We concluded that while initially clearly observed, the particle size and shape effects diminish as the particles age to the point that it may appear that the ORR depends neither on the particle size nor particle shape.

In particular, amongst several separation strategies, adsorption by nano-porous materials is regarded as a potential means to efficiently capture CO2 at the place of its origin in a post-combustion process. The search for promising materials in such a process not only requires the screening of a multitude of materials but also the development of an adequate evaluation metric. Several evaluation criteria have been introduced in the literature concentrating on a single adsorption or material property at a time. Parasitic energy is a new approach for material evaluation to address the energy load imposed on a power plant while applying CCS. In this work, we evaluate over 60 different materials with respect to their parasitic energy, including experimentally realized and hypothetical materials such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs), porous polymer networks (PPNs), and zeolites. The results are compared to other proposed evaluation criteria and performance differences are studied regarding the regeneration modes, (i.e. Pressure-Swing (PSA) and Temperature-Swing Adsorption (TSA)) as well as the flue gas composition.

TI Dry mechanochemical synthesis of alane from LiH and AlCl3 SO FARADAY DISCUSSIONS LA English DT Article ID COMPLEX METAL-HYDRIDES; ALUMINUM-HYDRIDE; THERMAL-DECOMPOSITION; ALH3; TRANSFORMATIONS; LIALH4; SODIUM AB A mechanochemical process for the synthesis of alane (AlH3) starting from lithium hydride (LiH) and aluminium chloride (AlCl3) at room temperature and the underlying reaction pathway have been studied. In contrast to a conventional process using the same two reactants dissolved in diethyl ether, our approach enables a solvent-free synthesis, thereby directly leading to adduct-free alane. The method described here is quick and efficient, resulting in the quantitative conversion of all aluminium in the starting mixture to alane. Both the intermediate compounds formed during the reaction and the final products have been characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, solid-state Al-27 NMR spectroscopy, and temperature programmed desorption analysis of the as-milled mixtures. We show that excess LiH in the starting mixture (with an optimal ratio of 9LiH : 1AlCl(3)) is essential for the formation and stability of Al-H bonds, initially in the form of alanates and, eventually, as alane. Further processing of this mixture, gradually adding AlCl3 to reach the ideal 3LiH : 1AlCl(3) stoichiometry, appears to restrict the local accumulation of AlCl3 during the ball-milling process, thereby preventing the formation of unstable intermediates that decompose to metallic Al and molecular hydrogen. We also demonstrate that under the milling conditions used, a moderate hydrogen pressure of ca. 300 bar is required to suppress competing reactions that lead to the formation of metallic Al at room temperature. The identification of the reaction intermediates at each stage of the synthesis provides significant insight into the mechanism of this solid-state reaction, which may potentially afford a more rational approach toward the production of AlH3 in a simple solvent-free process.

Approaches using traditional diode array coupled FBG interrogation systems are often limited to readout speeds in the sub-MHz range. For shock wave physics, required detection speeds approaching 100 MHz are desired. We explore the use of two types of FBG sensing systems that are aimed at applying this technology as embedded high pressure probes for transient shock events. Both approaches measure time resolved spectral shifts in the return light from short (few mm long) uniform FBGs at 1550 nm. In the first approach, we use a fiber coupled spectrometer to demultiplex spectral channels into an array (up to 12) of single element InGaAs photoreceivers. By monitoring the detectors during a shock impact event with high speed recording, we are able to track the pressure induced spectral shifting in FBG down to a time resolution of 20 ns. In the second approach, developed at the Special Technologies Lab, a coherent mode-locked fiber laser is used to illuminate the FBG sensor. After the sensor, wavelength-to-time mapping is accomplished with a chromatic dispersive element, and entire spectra are sampled using a single detector at the modelocked laser repetition rate of 50 MHz. By sampling with a 12 GHz InGaAs detector, direct wavelength mapping in time is recorded, and the pressure induced FBG spectral shift is sampled at 50 MHz. Here, the sensing systems are used to monitor the spectral shifts of FBGs that are immersed into liquid water and shock compressed using explosives. In this configuration, the gratings survive to pressures approaching 50 kbar. We describe both approaches and present the measured spectral shifts from the shock experiments.

TI Characterization of laser ablation sample introduction plasma plumes in fs-LA-ICP-MS SO JOURNAL OF ANALYTICAL ATOMIC SPECTROMETRY LA English DT Article ID MASS-SPECTROMETRY; ELEMENTAL FRACTIONATION AB Laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) is a well-established elemental analysis technique which has been applied to a variety of fields. However, LA-ICP-MS still faces substantial challenges in the deviation of detected elemental concentrations from the known composition of the sample, or elemental fractionation. Applying optical emission spectroscopy (OES) during the LA process for LA-ICP-MS can help to characterize the emitted plasma plume and potentially identify sources of elemental fractionation during LA. We characterize LA sample introduction plume using OES during fs-LA-ICP-MS analysis of a brass sample. Fundamental plume parameters, i.e., electron temperature and density are estimated and correlated with ICP-MS signal characteristics, which give insight into how laser ablation plume parameters are related to LA-ICP-MS results. The hydrodynamic expansion features of fs-LA sample introduction plumes are evaluated using shadowgraphy and time-and spectrally-resolved fast-gated photography. Results showed dissimilarities in Cu I and Zn I expansion features. There is a very good correlation between the ICP-MS signal intensities and characteristic parameters of the sample introduction plumes. However, the crater formation during single spot ablation caused significant changes in line emission intensities though the estimated temperature and density showed constant values.

TI An alternative method for chronometric determinations involving curium SO JOURNAL OF ANALYTICAL ATOMIC SPECTROMETRY LA English DT Article ID IONIZATION MASS-SPECTROMETRY; NUCLEAR FORENSICS; ENVIRONMENTAL-ANALYSIS; ALPHA-SPECTROMETRY; BIOASSAY METHOD; SEPARATION; ACTINIDES; AMERICIUM; PLUTONIUM; SAMPLES AB A method for quantifying ratios of isotopes of plutonium (Pu), americium (Am), and curium (Cm) using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is described that does not require radiochemical separations or a chemical yield monitor. This approach provides more rapid analysis, which is important for chronometric applications related to nuclear forensics analysis. To demonstrate its utility, we used it to quantify the ingrowth Pu-240 (t(1/2) = 6563 years) from Cm-244 (t(1/2) = 18.10 years) in a solution of unknown "age" (e. g. time since last separation). Results are compared to similar samples for which the time since separation was known. In addition, alpha spectrometry was used to validate the ICP-MS measurements. In this case, Pu-238 and Am-241 were used as chemical yield monitors for Pu-240 and Cm-244, respectively. The relative standard deviation for the isotope ratio method using ICP-MS was slightly greater than the traditional radiometric approach, but sufficient for this application. Measured activity ratios of Pu-240 and Cm-244 provided an age for the unknown sample that linked it to research activities involving the production of curium isotopes for thermoelectric heat sources during the late 1970's.

TI Low lattice thermal conductivity in Pb5Bi6Se14, Pb3Bi2S6, and PbBi2S4: promising thermoelectric materials in the cannizzarite, lillianite, and galenobismuthite homologous series SO JOURNAL OF MATERIALS CHEMISTRY A LA English DT Article ID PERFORMANCE BULK THERMOELECTRICS; X-RAY-DIFFRACTION; BISMUTH SELENIDES; SOLID-SOLUTIONS; NANOSTRUCTURED THERMOELECTRICS; PANOSCOPIC APPROACH; CRYSTAL-STRUCTURES; TEMPERATURE; SYSTEM; MERIT AB The thermoelectric properties of Pb5Bi6Se14, a member of the cannizzarite homologous series; Pb3Bi2S6, a member of the lillianite homologous series; and PbBi2S4, a member of the galenobismuthite homologous series were investigated over the temperature range of 300 K to 723 K. The samples were synthesized by a solid state reaction of the binary precursors PbQ and Bi(2)Q(3) (Q = S and Se) in evacuated and sealed quartz tubes, followed by pulsed electric current sintering. The crystal structure of Pb5Bi6Se14 consists of alternating two-dimensional infinite layers of PbSe and Bi2Se3. In the Pb5Bi6Se14 sintered compacts, the ab-plane was preferentially oriented perpendicular to the pressing direction, resulting in highly anisotropic electrical and thermal transport properties. The crystal structure of Pb3Bi2S6 is formed by stacking NaCl-type (Pb/Bi) S layers with a mirror as twinning operation, while that of PbBi2S4 consists of the NaCl-type and Bi2S3-type strips (broken layers) of finite widths. The crystal grains of Pb3Bi2S6 and PbBi2S4 were grown randomly, leading to nearly isotropic electrical and thermal transport properties in the sintered compacts. For all the samples, an n-type degenerate semiconductor-like behavior was found, providing a notable thermoelectric power factor of similar to 3.0 mu W K-2 cm(-1) at 705 K for Pb5Bi6Se14, similar to 2.4 mu W K-2 cm(-1) at 715 K for Pb3Bi2S6, and similar to 2.6 mu W K-2 cm(-1) at 515 K for PbBi2S4 in a direction perpendicular to the pressing direction. Moreover, these materials exhibited effective phonon scattering, presumably at the interfaces between the layers, leading to extremely low lattice thermal conductivity in the range of 0.29 W K-1 m(-1) to 0.80 W K-1 m(-1) over the temperature range of 300 K to 723 K. The highest ZT of similar to 0.46 at 705 K was observed in Pb5Bi6Se14 for the ab-plane direction.

The vibrational and photoluminescence properties of the exfoliated nanosheets are investigated, and the local atomic structure is studied by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The catalytic activity of the nanosheets in a hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is also investigated. The electrochemical properties of the exfoliated ReS2 nanosheets include low overpotentials of similar to 100 mV and low Tafel slopes of 75 mV dec(-1) for HER and are attributed to the atomic structure of the superlattice 1T' phase. The presence of bandgap photoluminescence demonstrates that the nanosheets retain their semiconducting nature. ReS2 nanosheets produced by this method provide unique photocatalytic properties that are superior to those of other two-dimensional systems.

The structural evolution and corresponding dynamics of NiAu bimetallic nanoparticles under ambient conditions are investigated using in situ Cs-corrected STEM and DFT calculations. During oxidization, the Au component promotes dissociation of oxygen and initiates Ni oxidization, which simultaneously drives the migration of Au atoms, thus yielding multi-shell structures (denoted by Ni@Au@NiO). The subsequent hydrogen reduction induces surface reconstruction, forming fcc-NiAu clusters. After several cycles of catalyzing CO oxidization, both inverse Au segregation and Ni recrystallization occur, which are ascribed to exothermic excitation. The results of this study can help researchers understand the evolutionary behaviors of the bimetallic nanoparticles under ambient conditions as well as optimize the structural design of bimetallic catalysts.

This ARC beam after being converted to X-rays will act as a back lighter to create a radiographic movie and provide an unprecedented insight into the imploding dynamics and serve as a diagnostic for tuning the experimental parameters to achieve fusion. One such beam is the centering beam of the pre-amplifier module which due to a split path obstructs the central square alignment fiducials. This fiducial is used for alignment and also as reference for the programmable spatial shaper (PSS) system. Image processing algorithms are used to process the images and calculate the position of various fiducials in the beam path. We discuss the algorithm to process ARC split beam injector (SBI) centering images with partial fiducial information. C1 [Awwal, Abdul A.

Employing up to eight backlighters, ARC can produce an X-ray "motion picture" to diagnose the compression and ignition of a cryogenic deuterium-tritium target with tens-of-picosecond temporal resolution during the critical phases of an ICF shot. Multi-frame, hard-X-ray radiography of imploding NIF capsules is a capability which is critical to the success of NIF's missions. The function of the Centering and Pointing System (CAPS) in ARC is to provide superimposed near-field and far-field images on a common optical path. The Images are then analyzed to extract beam centering and pointing data for the control system. The images contain the confluence of pointing, centering, and reference patterns. The patterns may have uneven illumination, particularly when the laser is misaligned. In addition, the simultaneous appearance of three reference patterns may be co-incidental, possibly masking one or more of the patterns. Image analysis algorithms have been developed to determine the centering and pointing position of ARC from these images. In the paper we describe the image analysis algorithms used to detect and identify the centers of these patterns. Results are provided, illustrating how well the process meets system requirements.

Laser pulses from a short-pulse oscillator are dispersed in wavelength into long, low-power pulses, injected in the NIF main laser for amplification, and then compressed into high-power pulses before being directed into the NIF target chamber. In the target chamber, the laser pulses hit targets which produce x-rays used to backlight imploding fuel capsules. Compression of the ARC laser pulses is accomplished with a set of precision-surveyed optical gratings mounted inside of vacuum vessels. The tilt of each grating is monitored by a measurement system consisting of a laser diode, camera and crosshair, all mounted in a pedestal outside of the vacuum vessel, and a mirror mounted on the back of a grating inside the vacuum vessel. The crosshair is mounted in front of the camera, and a diffraction pattern is formed when illuminated with the laser diode beam reflected from the mirror. This diffraction pattern contains information related to relative movements between the grating and the pedestal. Image analysis algorithms have been developed to determine the relative movements between the gratings and pedestal. In the paper we elaborate on features in the diffraction pattern, and describe the image analysis algorithms used to monitor grating tilt changes. Experimental results are provided which indicate the high degree of sensitivity provided by the tilt sensor and image analysis algorithms.

First-principles methods are used to investigate the thermoelectric behavior and it is found to have a band gap of 2.13 eV, and an electronic dispersion with characteristic indicative of having a high Seebeck coefficient. Semiclassical Boltzmann transport theory predicts that AlLiB14 will have a Seebeck coefficient greater than 200 mu V K-1, at temperatures near 1000 K and carrier concentrations around 1 x 10(20) cm(-3). Using a elasticity based expression for the thermal conductivity, the thermoelectric figure of merit is approximated to be 0.45 x 10(-3) T at moderate doping levels. C1 [Wan, L. F.; Beckman, S.

In pure ThO2, the formation energy of the oxygen vacancy is 7.58 eV and 1.46 eV under O rich and O poor conditions, respectively, while its migration energy barrier is 1.97 eV. The addition of UO2 into ThO2 significantly decreases the energetics of formation and migration of the oxygen vacancy. Among the range of UO2-ThO2 solid solutions studied in this work, UO2 exhibits the lowest formation energy (5.99 eV and -0.13 eV under O rich and O poor conditions, respectively) and Th0.25U0.75O2 exhibits the lowest migration energy barrier (similar to 1 eV). Furthermore, by considering chemical potential, the phase diagram of the oxygen vacancy as a function of both temperature and oxygen partial pressure is shown, which could help to gain experimental control over oxygen vacancy concentration.

In lower positions where particles are transparent to light extinction (lambda = 632.8 nm), peri-condensed polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are found to be the major components of the particle material. These particles become enriched with aliphatic components as they grow in mass and size. Before carbonization occurs, the constituent species in young soot particles are aliphatic and aromatic compounds 200-600 amu in mass, some of which are oxygenated. Particles dominated by PAHs or mixtures of PAHs and aliphatics can exhibit liquid-like appearance observed by electron microscopy and be transparent to visible light. The variations in chemical composition observed here indicate that the molecular processes of soot formation in coflow diffusion flames may be more complex than previously thought. For example, the mass growth and enrichment of aliphatic components in an initial mostly aromatic structure region of the flame that is absent of H atoms or other free radicals indicates that there must exist at least another mechanism of soot mass growth in addition to the hydrogen abstraction-carbon addition mechanism currently considered in fundamental models of soot formation.

We focus on the 2 : 1 resonance, where the wavenumber of a one-dimensional periodic forcing is about twice the wavenumber of the natural stripe pattern that the unforced system tends to form. Within this resonance, we study transverse fronts that shift the phase of resonant stripe patterns by p. We identify phase fronts that shift the phase discontinuously, and pairs of phase fronts that shift the phase continuously, clockwise and anti-clockwise. We further identify a front bifurcation that destabilizes the discontinuous front and leads to a pair of continuous fronts. This bifurcation is the spatial counterpart of the nonequilibrium Ising-Bloch (NIB) bifurcation in temporally forced oscillatory systems. The spatial NIB bifurcation that we find occurs as the forcing strength is increased, unlike earlier studies of the NIB bifurcation. Furthermore, the bifurcation is subcritical, implying a range of forcing strength where both discontinuous Ising fronts and continuous Bloch fronts are stable. Finally, we find that both Ising fronts and Bloch fronts can form discrete families of bound pairs, and we relate arrays of these front pairs to extended rectangular and oblique patterns.

However, PCBM loading can significantly impair the thermal transport performance of the BHJs due to its ultra-low thermal conductivity (0.03-0.07 W m(-1) K-1). In this work, we study the thermal conductivity of BHJs as a function of the PCBM concentration using time domain thermoreflectance. The thermal conductivities of BHJs composed of PCBM blended with donor polymers from the PBDTTT family with different side chains systematically deviate from those predicted by effective medium theory. Evidence presented in this work indicates that for these copolymers, only when the polymer concentration reaches a threshold value (similar to 30 to 35% volumetric fraction), does the thermal conductivity BHJ film start to increase, possibly due to the formation of high thermal conductivity percolation pathways.

The 2-D vertically aligned nano-antenna array can have high-Q resonances varying arbitrarily from near infrared to terahertz regime, as the antenna resonances of the nanorod are highly tunable through material properties, the length of the nanorod, and the orthogonal polarization direction with respect to the lattice surface,. The high-Q in combination with the small optical mode volume gives a very high Purcell factor, which could potentially be applied to various enhanced nonlinear photonics or optoelectronic devices. The 'hot spots' around the nanorods can be easily harvested as no index-matching is necessary. The resonances maintain their high-Q factor with the change of the environmental refractive index, which is of great interest for molecular sensing.

Image registration is a necessary step in many advanced image processing techniques, such as multi-frame super-resolution. For that reason, registration accuracy is very crucial. While image registration is usually performed on images, one can perform the registration using metric images as well. This paper will present registration methods and their accuracies for various noise levels for the case of pure translational image motion. Registration techniques will be applied to the images themselves as well as to phase congruency images, gradient images, and edge-detected images. This study will also investigate registration of under-sampled images. Noise-free images are degraded using three types of noise: additive Gaussian noise, fixed-pattern noise along the column direction, and a combination of these two. The registration error is quantified for two registration algorithms with three different images as a function of the signal-to-noise ratio. A test on the usefulness of the image registration and registration accuracy performed on the intensity images of the Stokes imaging polarimeter. The Stokes images calculated before and after registration of the intensity images are compared to each other to show the improvement.

This is specifically true in turbid environments like fog and clouds. In contrast to previous studies that propagate single wavelengths through broad particle-size distributions, this work identifies regions where circular polarization persists further than linear by systematically surveying different wavelengths through monodisperse particle diameters. For monodisperse polystyrene microspheres in water, for particle diameters of 0.99 and 1.925 microns and varying optical depths, we show that circular polarization's ability to persist through multiple scattering events is enhanced by as much as a factor of four, when compared to that of linear polarization. These particle diameters correspond to size parameters found for infrared wavelengths and marine and continental fog particle distributions. The experimental results are compared to Monte Carlo simulations for all scattering environments investigated. C1 [van der Laan, J. D.; Dereniak, E.

This yields highly asymmetric interferograms that complicate the post-processing of single-sided interference data. Common methods of compensating for phase errors include the Mertz, Forman, and Connes phase correction techniques. However, birefringent interferometers often have highly symmetric interferograms; thus, compensating for phase errors may represent an unnecessary and/or detrimental step in post processing. In this paper, an analysis of the phase error generated by the Infrared Hyperspectral Imaging Polarimeter (IHIP) is conducted. First, a model of the IHIP is presented that quantifies the phase error in the system. The error associated with calculating spectra from single-sided interferograms, using Mertz phase correction and simple single-sided to double-sided mirroring, is then investigated and compared to "true" double-sided Connes phase corrected spectra. These error calculations are set within the context of measurements taken from a Michelson interferometer-based Fourier transform spectrometer. Results demonstrate that the phase error of the IHIP is comparatively small and that Mertz phase correction may not be necessary to minimize error in the spectral calculation.

Trajectory Sensitivity Analysis (TSA) is a useful tool for this and other applications in the emerging smart grid area. In this chapter, we outline the basic approach of TSA, to extract suitable information from the data and develop reliable metrics or indices to evaluate proximity of the system to an unstable condition. Trajectory sensitivities can be used to compute critical parameters such as clearing time of circuit breakers, tie-line flow, etc. in a power system by developing suitable norms for ease of interpretation. The TSA technique has the advantage that model complexity is not a limitation, and the sensitivities can be computed numerically. Suitable metrics are developed from these sensitivities. The TSA technique can be extended to do preventive rescheduling. A brief discussion of other applications of TSA in placement of distributed generation is indicated.

A critical step in deciphering transcriptional regulation is to infer, and eventually predict, the precise locations of these interactions, along with their strength and frequency. While recent datasets yield great insight into these interactions, individual data sources often provide only noisy information regarding one specific aspect of the complete interaction landscape. For example, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) reveals the precise binding positions of a protein, but only for one protein at a time. In contrast, nucleases like MNase and DNase reveal binding positions for many different proteins at once, but cannot easily determine the identities of those proteins. Here, we develop a novel statistical framework that integrates different sources of experimental information within a thermodynamic model of competitive binding to jointly learn a holistic view of the in vivo protein-DNA interaction landscape. We show that our framework learns an interaction landscape with increased accuracy, explaining multiple sets of data in accordance with thermodynamic principles of competitive DNA binding. The resulting model of genomic occupancy provides a precise, mechanistic vantage point from which to explore the role of protein-DNA interactions in transcriptional regulation.

Since its discovery, this phenomenon has evolved as powerful technology to diagnose and treat diseases at cellular and molecular levels. With a lot of attention, short interfering RNA (siRNA) therapeutics has brought a great hope for treatment of various undruggable diseases, including genetic diseases, cancer, and resistant viral infections. However, the challenge of their systemic delivery and on how they are integrated to exhibit the desired properties and functions remains a key bottleneck for realizing its full potential. Nanoparticles are currently well known to exhibit a number of unique properties that could be strategically tailored into new advanced siRNA delivery systems. This review summarizes the various nanoparticulate systems developed so far in the literature for systemic delivery of siRNA, which include silica and silicon-based nanoparticles, metal and metal oxides nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, graphene, dendrimers, polymers, cyclodextrins, lipids, hydrogels, and semiconductor nanocrystals. Challenges and barriers to the delivery of siRNA and the role of different nanoparticles to surmount these challenges are also included in the review.

It consists of acellular and cellular components that interact with stem cells and their progenitors and through signaling cascades influence balance between self-renewal, differentiation and dormancy. Under pathological conditions, disruptions in microenvironment can generate signals that stimulate untimely or aberrant stem cell differentiation or self-renewal, or activate de-differentiation of progenitor cells, leading to diseased states such as cancer. However, while unaltered microenvironment can restrain transformed cell behavior inhibiting malignant phenotypes, transformed cancer cells that exhibit resistance to conventional therapies and tumor initiating capacity are capable of inducing more permissive and immunotolerant microenvironment that promotes tumor growth and metastasis. Better understanding of their behavior and interactions with microenvironment opens up novel avenues for devising more efficacious cancer therapies.

The test was performed by measuring the surface profile of a deformable Pt coated Silicon mirror at five different actuation states. The reflected beam was detected at the fractional Talbot distance of a pi/2 phase grating. The measured interferograms were de-convolved using the spatial harmonic imaging technique to extract the phase and amplitude of the reflected wavefront. The wavefront was then propagated to the mirror center to retrieve the surface profile of the mirror. The activation of a single actuator was easily detected from the reconstructed surface profile of the mirror. The presented results indicate that the single phase-grating x-ray Talbot interferometer is capable of sensing nano-meter scale profile changes of an adaptive mirror.

We discuss the detailed calibration of the mirror's figure response to voltage (fourth-order) and the strain gauges' response to figure changes (linear). The mirror's cylinder shape changes with temperature, which can be tracked with the temperature sensors. We present initial results of measuring figure change with the strain gauges, which works very well for large changes (> 10 nm peak-to-valley), but is noisy with a single strain reading for small changes (5 nm peak-to-valley).

TI Simultaneous retrieval of effective refractive index and density from size distribution and light-scattering data: weakly absorbing aerosol SO ATMOSPHERIC MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES LA English DT Article ID OPTICAL-PROPERTIES; ABSORPTION; NEPHELOMETER; MOBILITY; CLOSURE; COEFFICIENTS; SENSITIVITY; PARTICLES; HUMIDITY; CAMPAIGN AB We propose here a novel approach for retrieving in parallel the effective density and real refractive index of weakly absorbing aerosol from optical and size distribution measurements. Here we define "weakly absorbing" as aerosol single-scattering albedos that exceed 0.95 at 0.5 mu m. The required optical measurements are the scattering coefficient and the hemispheric backscatter fraction, obtained in this work from an integrating nephelometer. The required size spectra come from mobility and aerodynamic particle size spectrometers commonly referred to as a scanning mobility particle sizer and an aerodynamic particle sizer. The performance of this approach is first evaluated using a sensitivity study with synthetically generated but measurement-related inputs. The sensitivity study reveals that the proposed approach is robust to random noise; additionally the uncertainties of the retrieval are almost linearly proportional to the measurement errors, and these uncertainties are smaller for the real refractive index than for the effective density. Next, actual measurements are used to evaluate our approach. These measurements include the optical, microphysical, and chemical properties of weakly absorbing aerosol which are representative of a variety of coastal summertime conditions observed during the Two-Column Aerosol Project (TCAP; http://campaign.arm.gov/tcap/). The evaluation includes calculating the root mean square error (RMSE) between the aerosol characteristics retrieved by our approach, and the same quantities calculated using the conventional volume mixing rule for chemical constituents. For dry conditions (defined in this work as relative humidity less than 55 %) and sub-micron particles, a very good (RMSE similar to 3 %) and reasonable (RMSE similar to 28 %) agreement is obtained for the retrieved real refractive index (1.49 +/- 0.02) and effective density (1.68 +/- 0.21), respectively. Our approach permits discrimination between the retrieved aerosol characteristics of sub-micron and sub-10-micron particles. The evaluation results also reveal that the retrieved density and refractive index tend to decrease with an increase of the relative humidity. C1 [Kassianov, E.; Barnard, J.; Pekour, M.; Berg, L.

HSRL-2 measures particle backscatter coefficients at 355, 532, and 1064 nm, and particle extinction coefficients at 355 and 532 nm. The instrument has been developed by the NASA Langley Research Center. The instrument was operated during Phase 1 of the Department of Energy (DOE) Two-Column Aerosol Project (TCAP) in July 2012. We observed pollution outflow from the northeastern coast of the US out over the western Atlantic Ocean. Lidar ratios were 50-60 sr at 355 nm and 6070 sr at 532 nm. Extinction-related Angstrom exponents were on average 1.2-1.7, indicating comparably small particles. Our novel automated, unsupervised data inversion algorithm retrieved particle effective radii of approximately 0.2 mu m, which is in agreement with the large Angstrom exponents. We find good agreement with particle size parameters obtained from coincident in situ measurements carried out with the DOE Gulfstream-1 aircraft.

Mao, Chuanbin TI Stable biofunctionalization of hydroxyapatite (HA) surfaces by HA-binding/osteogenic modular peptides for inducing osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells SO BIOMATERIALS SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID BONE-TISSUE; BIOLOGICAL NANOFIBERS; GROWTH; FATE; MINERALIZATION; ENHANCEMENT; COMPOSITES; COMMITMENT; NUCLEATION; CHEMISTRY AB Hydroxyapatite (HA), the principal component of bone mineral, shows osteoconductive properties when employed for coating metal implants as well as scaffold materials in synthetic bone grafts. With the goal of providing this material with osteoinductive capabilities to promote faster bone regeneration, we show an easy approach to functionalize HA implant surfaces and enrich them with osteoinductive properties by the use of HA-binding modular peptides. The modular peptides are designed as a combination of two domains, an HA-binding peptide motif and an osteogenic peptide motif derived from the osteogenic growth peptide (OGP) or bone morphometric protein 7 (BMP-7). To identify the best HA-binding peptide, several nature-inspired peptides derived from natural bone extracellular matrix proteins (bone sialoprotein, osteonectin, osteocalcin, and salivarin statherin) were compared for HA-binding activity, revealing concentration-dependent and incubation-time-dependent behaviours. We discovered that a Poly-E heptamer (E7) is the best HA-binding peptide, and thus combined it with a second osteogenic peptidic domain to create an osteoinductive modular peptide. After binding/release characterization, we found that the addition of the second osteogenic peptide domain did not change the binding profile of the modular peptides and caused only a slight change in their release kinetics. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were cultured on the HA substrates functionalized with modular peptides, and cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation in a basal medium (i.e., without any osteogenic supplements) were investigated. Gene expression data clearly showed that MSCs were committed to differentiate into osteoblasts in the presence of the modular peptides. HA discs functionalized with the E7 BMP-7 modular peptide showed the best capability in inducing the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs among all modular peptides studied. The modular peptides can easily be used to functionalize the HA implants through its constituent HA-binding motif, leaving the osteogenic peptide motif protruding from the surface for inducing osteogenesis. Our work opens up a new approach to the formulation of new bioactive HA coatings and implants for bone and dental repair.

Monometallic Pd exhibited poor neopentane isomerization selectivity in favor of high selectivity to primary and secondary hydrogenolysis products. Similarly sized PdAu catalysts of increasing Pd weight loading were synthesized to evaluate the effect of increasing Pd monolayers on neopentane conversion. All PdAu catalysts had neopentane conversion selectivity within the range of monometallic Pd catalysts from previous work (similar to 5-30%). However, there was an inverse relationship between Pd weight loading and neopentane isomerization selectivity. The increase in isomerization selectivity did not correlate to a decrease in heats of adsorption as seen with monometallic Pd catalysts, but was correlated with the catalyst surface structure which suggests a geometric effect as the cause for changes in catalytic performance rather than an electronic effect.

In subsequent pulses oxygen isotope exchange dominated as a result of highly labile oxygen in the oxide. C1 Pacific NW Natl Lab, Inst Integrated Catalysis, Richland, WA 99352 USA.

TI Comprehensive study of carbon dioxide adsorption in the metal-organic frameworks M-2(dobdc) (M = Mg, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) SO CHEMICAL SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID IRON(II) COORDINATION SITES; WAALS DENSITY FUNCTIONALS; AUGMENTED-WAVE METHOD; POWDER DIFFRACTOMETER; HYDROGEN ADSORPTION; FORCE-FIELDS; LEWIS-ACID; CAPTURE; STORAGE; BINDING AB Analysis of the CO2 adsorption properties of a well-known series of metal-organic frameworks M-2(dobdc) (dobdc(4-) = 2,5-dioxido-1,4-benzenedicarboxylate; M = Mg, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn) is carried out in tandem with in situ structural studies to identify the host-guest interactions that lead to significant differences in isosteric heats of CO2 adsorption. Neutron and X-ray powder diffraction and single crystal X-ray diffraction experiments are used to unveil the site-specific binding properties of CO2 within many of these materials while systematically varying both the amount of CO2 and the temperature. Unlike previous studies, we show that CO2 adsorbed at the metal cations exhibits intramolecular angles with minimal deviations from 180 degrees, a finding that indicates a strongly electrostatic and physisorptive interaction with the framework surface and sheds more light on the ongoing discussion regarding whether CO2 adsorbs in a linear or nonlinear geometry. This has important implications for proposals that have been made to utilize these materials for the activation and chemical conversion of CO2. For the weaker CO2 adsorbents, significant elongation of the metal-O(CO2) distances are observed and diffraction experiments additionally reveal that secondary CO2 adsorption sites, while likely stabilized by the population of the primary adsorption sites, significantly contribute to adsorption behavior at ambient temperature. Density functional theory calculations including van der Waals dispersion quantitatively corroborate and rationalize observations regarding intramolecular CO2 angles and trends in relative geometric properties and heats of adsorption in the M-2(dobdc)-CO2 adducts.

We report the growth of oriented thin films of a tetrathiafulvalene-based COF (TTF-COF) and its tunable doping. The porous structure of the crystalline TTF-COF thin film allows the diffusion of dopants such as I-2 and tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) for redox reactions, while the closely packed 2D grid sheets facilitate the cross-layer delocalization of thus-formed TTF radical cations to generate more conductive mixed-valence TTF species, as is verified by UV-vis-NIR and electron paramagnetic resonance spectra. Conductivity as high as 0.28 S m(-1) is observed for the doped COF thin films, which is three orders of magnitude higher than that of the pristine film and is among the highest for COF materials.

The pendant amine was found to function as a hemilabile ligand; its binding strength is strongly affected by the ancillary ligand environment around Mn. Tuning the electrophilicity of the Mn center leads to systems capable of reversible heterolytic cleavage of the H-H bond. The strength of pendant amine binding can be balanced to protect the Mn center while still leading to facile reactivity with H-2. Neutral MnIH species bearing pendant amines in the diphosphine ligand were found to react with one-electron oxidants and, after proton and electron transfer reactions, regenerate cationic MnI species. The reactivity presented herein indicates that the Mn complexes we have developed are a promising platform for development of Mn-based H-2 oxidation electrocatalysts.

RuNPs@SILPs possessed high catalytic activities, selectivities and recyclabilities in the hydrogenolytic deoxygenation and ring opening of C-8- and C-9-substrates derived from furfural or 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and acetone. Tailoring the acidity of the SILP through the ionic liquid loading provided a molecular parameter by which the catalytic activity and selectivity of the RuNPs@SILPs were controlled to provide a flexible catalyst system toward the formation of different classes of value-added products: cyclic ethers, primary alcohols or aliphatic ethers.

From a hydrological perspective, it is important to understand the movement of the various phases of water (gas, liquid and ice) during the freezing and thawing of near-surface soils. We present a new non-isothermal, single-component (water), three-phase formulation that treats air as an inactive component. This single component model works well and produces similar results to a more complete and computationally demanding two-component (air, water) formulation, and is able to reproduce results of previously published laboratory experiments. A proof-of-concept implementation in the massively parallel subsurface flow and reactive transport code PFLOTRAN is summarized, and parallel performance of that implementation is demonstrated. When water vapor diffusion is considered, a large effect on soil moisture dynamics is seen, which is due to dependence of thermal conductivity on ice content. A large three-dimensional simulation (with around 6 million degrees of freedom) of seasonal freezing and thawing is also presented. C1 [Karra, S.; Painter, S.

Thermal properties of alpha-UO2(OH)(2), were also obtained from phonon frequencies calculated with density functional perturbation theory (DFPT) including van der Waals dispersion corrections. While the isobaric heat capacity computed from first-principles reproduces available calorimetric data to within 5% up to 500 K, some entropy estimates based on calorimetric measurements for UO3 center dot 0.85H(2)O were found to overestimate by up to 23% the values computed in this study.

TI Using solution- and solid-state S K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy with density functional theory to evaluate M-S bonding for MS42- (M = Cr, Mo, W) dianions SO DALTON TRANSACTIONS LA English DT Article ID ELECTRONIC-STRUCTURE THEORY; TRANSITION-METAL-COMPLEXES; TUNICATE ASCIDIA-CERATODES; VARIABLE PHOTON ENERGY; BLUE-COPPER SITE; SULFUR-K; METALLOCENE DICHLORIDES; PHOTOELECTRON-SPECTROSCOPY; ORGANOTITANIUM COMPLEXES; LIGAND COVALENCY AB Herein, we have evaluated relative changes in M-S electronic structure and orbital mixing in Group 6 MS42- dianions using solid-and solution-phase S K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS; M = Mo, W), as well as density functional theory (DFT; M = Cr, Mo, W) and time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculations. To facilitate comparison with solution measurements (conducted in acetonitrile), theoretical models included gas-phase calculations as well as those that incorporated an acetonitrile dielectric, the latter of which provided better agreement with experiment. Two pre-edge features arising from S 1s -> e* and t(2)* electron excitations were observed in the S K-edge XAS spectra and were reasonably assigned as (1)A(1) -> T-1(2) transitions. For MoSS42-, both solution-phase pre-edge peak intensities were consistent with results from the solid-state spectra. For WSS42-, solution-and solid-state pre-edge peak intensities for transitions involving e* were equivalent, while transitions involving the t(2)* orbitals were less intense in solution. Experimental and computational results have been presented in comparison to recent analyses of MOS42- dianions, which allowed M-S and M-O orbital mixing to be evaluated as the principle quantum number (n) for the metal valence d orbitals increased (3d, 4d, 5d). Overall, the M-E (E = O, S) analyses revealed distinct trends in orbital mixing. For example, as the Group 6 triad was descended, e* (pi*) orbital mixing remained constant in the M-S bonds, but increased appreciably for M-O interactions. For the t(2)* orbitals (sigma* + pi*), mixing decreased slightly for M-S bonding and increased only slightly for the M-O interactions. These results suggested that the metal and ligand valence orbital energies and radial extensions delicately influenced the orbital compositions for isoelectronic MES42- (E = O, S) dianions.

In the complexes prepared under the same conditions of solvent extraction, the light Ln(III) ions are mainly coordinated by the sulfur atoms of the ligands, and the middle Ln(III) ions are coordinated by mixed donors, the sulfur atoms of the ligands and the oxygen atoms of the extracted water, while the heavy Ln(III) ions are completely hydrated in the organic phase without any sulfur atoms of the ligands in the coordination shell. As the atomic number increases, the extracted water molecules gradually replace the sulfur atoms of the ligands in the first coordination shell of Ln(III), and simultaneously the ligand anions become counterions just for balancing the positive charge of the fully hydrated heavy Ln(III) ions. The effect of the change in the complex structures on the extraction of Ln(III) ions with HA was evaluated by the co-extraction of other thirteen individual Ln(III) together with Nd-III. In contrast to most ligands bonding more strongly to heavier Ln(III), HA preferentially extracts lighter Ln(III), suggesting that the unusual extraction capability of HA for Ln(III) might originate from the difference in the complex structures with Ln(III) ions.

Users of the Hard X-ray Micro-Tomography Beamline (8.3.2) often collect more than 1 Terabyte of raw data per day that in turn generates additional Terabytes of processed data. The data rate continues to increase rapidly due to faster detectors and new sample automation capabilities. We will present the development and deployment of a computational pipeline, fed by data from the ALS, and powered by the storage, networking, and computing resources of the local National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) and the Energy Sciences Network (ESNET). After one year of operation, the system contained 70,000 datasets and 350 TB of data from 85 users. All datasets now collected at the Hard X-ray Tomography Beamline are automatically reconstructed using parameters set by users and/or that are automatically detected from the data acquisition control system. Results are presented to users for visualization through a secure web portal. Users can then download their data or launch a (currently limited but) growing number of operations based on the data-such as filtering, segmentation, and simulation. The massive computational resources of NERSC are thus made available on a level that is easily accessible to the full range of micro-tomography users.

The next generation of synchrotron facilities that are currently under design or construction throughout the world will provide diffraction limited X-ray sources and is expected to boost the current data rates by several orders of magnitude and stressing the need for the development and integration of efficient analysis tools more than ever. Here we describe in detail an attempt to provide such a collaborative framework for the analysis of synchrotron tomographic data that has the potential to unify the effort of different facilities and beamlines performing similar tasks. The proposed Python/C++ based framework is open-source, OS and data format independent, parallelizable and supports functional programming that many researchers prefer. This collaborative platform will affect all major synchrotron facilities where new effort is now dedicated into developing new tools that can be deployed at the facility for real time processing as well as distributed to users for off site data processing.

Herein, we discuss our implementation of diffraction/scattering computed tomography (DSCT). DSCT is based on the use of diffraction information for tomographic reconstructions rather than linear attenuation as in regular mu-CT. This provides much additional information on the material under investigation. We illustrate the use of DSCT by discussion of data on a biomineralized attachment organ from a marine mussel. DSCT allowed mapping the spatial distribution of calcium carbonate polymorphs aragonite and calcite even though they were indistinguishable in absorption tomography. Detailed analysis of reconstructed diffraction patterns may provide additional insights as exemplified in the present case by mapping of the degree of chemical substitution in calcite.

The loss of hearing and communication has significant consequences on the emotional well-being of each affected individual. The estimated socio-economic impact is about $ 100 billion in unrealized household income per year. Despite this impact on society, no Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved drug intervention is available today that would either protect or reverse the effects of hearing loss. A limiting factor for all efforts to validate drugs for treatment relates to the time consuming animal experiments and subsequent histology. Here, we present an imaging method that is superior to current gold standard methods in flexibility and time for evaluation of histology. Tissue processing times are reduced from weeks to hours. As an example, we show that Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) reduces the effect of noise induced hearing loss.

Thus a four dimensional (3D structural and temporal) imaging technique can be utilized to capture the structural evolvement of 3D systems. Utilizing this technique, we studied the structural evolvement and particle-scale dynamics of three dimensional (3D) granular packing under tapping. We conducted a tomographic scan of the packing after each tapping, and the displacement of each particle was captured through a tracking algorithm. An averaged 3D flow field of the packing under tapping was also calculated. The major conclusion of this work is that the local particle fluctuation displacements are correlated with local packing structures, which are characterized through the size and shape of the Voronoi cells.

However, despite the applicability of this technique to a wide range of fisheries conservation and management issues, its use has been restricted to only a small fraction of North American species and inland waters. In this article, we provide freshwater fisheries professionals with an accessible review of methods and applications of hard-part microchemistry techniques. Our objectives are to (1) summarize the science of hard-part microchemistry; (2) provide guidelines for designing hard-part microchemistry studies, including sample sizes, laboratory analyses, statistical techniques, and inferential limitations; and (3) identify conservation and management applications where these techniques may be particularly useful. We argue that strategic use of hard-part microchemistry methods (specifically when they are used in concert with other indirect tracer techniques such as stable isotope chemistry and genetics) can advance fish management and conservation across all stages of fish life history. RESUMENla microquimica de partes duras representa una herramienta poderosa para inferir la historia ambiental y la asignacion de stocks en peces. No obstante, a pesar de la aplicabilidad de esta tecnica a un amplio rango de aspectos de conservacion y manejo de pesquerias, su utilizacion se ha restringido a solo una pequena fraccion de especies de aguas continentales en Norte America. En este trabajo, se presenta una revision accesible de los metodos y aplicaciones de tecnicas de microquimica de partes duras, dirigida a los profesionales en pesquerias de aguas interiores. Los objetivos son: (1) resumir la ciencia de la microquimica de partes duras, (2) proporcionar guias para el diseno de estudios de microquimica de partes duras, incluyendo tamanos de muestra, analisis de laboratorio, tecnicas estadisticas y limitaciones de orden inferencial, y (3) identificar aplicaciones para la conservacion y manejo en las cuales estas tecnicas puedan ser particularmente utiles. Se argumenta que la utilizacion estrategica de metodos de microquimica de partes duras (especificamente cuando estos son usados en conjunto con otras tecnicas de rastreo indirecto como quimica de isotopos estables y genetica) puede abonar a la conservacion y manejo de los peces durante todos los estadios de vida.

Here we explore the feasibility of capturing this variability using a low-dimensional parameterization that can be implemented within the context of atmospheric CO2 inverse problems aimed at constraining regional-scale emissions. We construct a multiresolution (i. e., wavelet-based) spatial parameterization for ffCO(2) emissions using the Vulcan inventory, and examine whether such a parameterization can capture a realistic representation of the expected spatial variability of actual emissions. We then explore whether sub-selecting wavelets using two easily available proxies of human activity (images of lights at night and maps of built-up areas) yields a low-dimensional alternative. We finally implement this low-dimensional parameterization within an idealized inversion, where a sparse reconstruction algorithm, an extension of stagewise orthogonal matching pursuit (StOMP), is used to identify the wavelet coefficients. We find that (i) the spatial variability of fossil-fuel emission can indeed be represented using a low-dimensional wavelet-based parameterization, (ii) that images of lights at night can be used as a proxy for sub-selecting wavelets for such analysis, and (iii) that implementing this parameterization within the described inversion framework makes it possible to quantify fossil-fuel emissions at regional scales if fossil-fuel-only CO2 observations are available.

The basic idea is to replace the traditional serial-in-time long-term climate integrations by representative ensembles of shorter simulations. The key advantage of the proposed method lies in its efficiency: since fewer days of simulation are needed, the computational cost is less, and because individual realizations are independent and can be integrated simultaneously, the new dimension of parallelism can dramatically reduce the turnaround time in benchmark tests, sensitivities studies, and model tuning exercises. The strategy is not appropriate for exploring sensitivity of all model features, but it is very effective in many situations. Two examples are presented using the Community Atmosphere Model, version 5. In the first example, the method is used to characterize sensitivities of the simulated clouds to time-step length. Results show that 3-day ensembles of 20 to 50 members are sufficient to reproduce the main signals revealed by traditional 5-year simulations. A nudging technique is applied to an additional set of simulations to help understand the contribution of physics-dynamics interaction to the detected time-step sensitivity. In the second example, multiple empirical parameters related to cloud microphysics and aerosol life cycle are perturbed simultaneously in order to find out which parameters have the largest impact on the simulated global mean top-of-atmosphere radiation balance. It turns out that 12-member ensembles of 10-day simulations are able to reveal the same sensitivities as seen in 4-year simulations performed in a previous study. In both cases, the ensemble method reduces the total computational time by a factor of about 15, and the turnaround time by a factor of several hundred. The efficiency of the method makes it particularly useful for the development of high-resolution, costly, and complex climate models. C1 [Wan, H.; Rasch, P.

TI A reduced-order modeling approach to represent subgrid-scale hydrological dynamics for land-surface simulations: application in a polygonal tundra landscape SO GEOSCIENTIFIC MODEL DEVELOPMENT LA English DT Article ID SOIL-MOISTURE VARIABILITY; SPATIAL VARIABILITY; TEMPORAL DYNAMICS; SYSTEM MODEL; DEPENDENCY; REDUCTION; FIELDS; BARROW; CARBON; ALASKA AB Existing land surface models (LSMs) describe physical and biological processes that occur over a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. For example, biogeochemical and hydrological processes responsible for carbon (CO2, CH4) exchanges with the atmosphere range from the molecular scale (pore-scale O-2 consumption) to tens of kilometers (vegetation distribution, river networks). Additionally, many processes within LSMs are nonlinearly coupled (e. g., methane production and soil moisture dynamics), and therefore simple linear upscaling techniques can result in large prediction error. In this paper we applied a reduced-order modeling (ROM) technique known as "proper orthogonal decomposition mapping method" that reconstructs temporally resolved fine-resolution solutions based on coarse-resolution solutions. We developed four different methods and applied them to four study sites in a polygonal tundra landscape near Barrow, Alaska. Coupled surface-subsurface isothermal simulations were performed for summer months (June-September) at fine (0.25 m) and coarse (8 m) horizontal resolutions. We used simulation results from three summer seasons (1998-2000) to build ROMs of the 4-D soil moisture field for the study sites individually (single-site) and aggregated (multi-site). The results indicate that the ROM produced a significant computational speedup (> 10(3)) with very small relative approximation error (< 0.1 %) for 2 validation years not used in training the ROM. We also demonstrate that our approach: (1) efficiently corrects for coarse-resolution model bias and (2) can be used for polygonal tundra sites not included in the training data set with relatively good accuracy (< 1.7% relative error), thereby allowing for the possibility of applying these ROMs across a much larger landscape. By coupling the ROMs constructed at different scales together hierarchically, this method has the potential to efficiently increase the resolution of land models for coupled climate simulations to spatial scales consistent with mechanistic physical process representation.

These biases also appear in the Coupled Forecast System (CFS), which is developed from the GFS. These low cloud biases degrade seasonal and longer climate forecasts, particularly of short-wave cloud radiative forcing, and affect predicted sea surface temperature. Reducing this bias in the GFS will aid the development of future CFS versions and contributes to NCEP's goal of unified weather and climate modelling. Changes are made to the shallow convection and planetary boundary layer parameterisations to make them more consistent with current knowledge of these processes and to reduce the low cloud bias. These changes are tested in a single-column version of GFS and in global simulations with GFS coupled to a dynamical ocean model. In the single-column model, we focus on changing parameters that set the following: the strength of shallow cumulus lateral entrainment, the conversion of updraught liquid water to precipitation and grid-scale condensate, shallow cumulus cloud top, and the effect of shallow convection in stratocumulus environments. Results show that these changes improve the single-column simulations when compared to large eddy simulations, in particular through decreasing the precipitation efficiency of boundary layer clouds. These changes, combined with a few other model improvements, also reduce boundary layer cloud and albedo biases in global coupled simulations. C1 [Fletcher, J.

In this study, two novel MOFs composed of internally polarized 2,6-azulenedicarboxylate (2,6-azd), termed MOF-649 [Zn-2(2,6-azd)(2)(dabco), where dabco = 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane] and MOF-650 [Zn4O(2,6-azd)(3)], have been synthesized, and their crystal structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. Both materials displayed permanent microporosity, and the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface areas of MOF-649 and MOF-650 are estimated to be 910 and 2630 m(2) g(-1), respectively. The H-2 adsorption measurements showed that MOF-650 adsorbs 14.8 mg g(-1) of hydrogen at 77 K and 1 bar. The polarization effect of the azulene unit in the framework is supported by high initial isosteric heat of adsorption of 6.8 kJ mol(-1) for MOF-650. A detailed computational analysis using density functional theory was carried out in order to investigate the structure and electronic properties of MOF-650 and subsequently to understand its site-specific interactions with hydrogen.

In contrast to other studies that measure these parameters in a linked experiment, this study combines data from in situ neutron powder diffraction (NPD), synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD), pulse isotopic oxygen exchange, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) studies of Ln(0.5)Sr(0.5)Co(0.8)Fe(0.2)O(3-delta) (Ln = La, Pr, Nd) solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) cathode materials. The Pr and Nd containing materials were found to exhibit higher oxygen exchange rates and decreased electrode impedance when compared to the La-based material. It is proposed that the observed increase in performance is directly linked to high oxygen mobility in the Pr and Nd containing materials. The oxygen mobility is characterized in terms of the oxygen vacancy concentration and oxygen atomic displacement derived from the NPD data. C1 [Tamimi, Mazin A.; Tomkiewicz, Alex.

The results from the well-defined crystallographic materials were compared to the spectroscopic measurements of the local Sn structures in the electrochemically prepared materials. The reinvestigation of the Na-Sn compounds yields a number of new results: (i) Na7Sn3 is a new thermodynamically-stable phase with a rhombohedral structure and R (3) over barm space group; (ii) orthorhombic Na9Sn4 (Cmcm) has relatively slow formation kinetics suggesting why it does not form at room temperature during the electrochemical reaction; (iii) orthorhombic 'Na14.78Sn4' (Pnma), better described as Na16-xSn4, is Na-richer than cubic Na15Sn4 (I (4) over bar 3d). Characterization of electrochemically prepared Na-Sn alloys indicate that, with the exception of Na7Sn3 and Na15Sn4, different crystal structures than similar Na-Sn compositions prepared via classic solid state reactions are formed. These phases are composed of disordered structures characteristic of kinetic-driven solid-state amorphization reactions. In these structures, Sn coordinates in asymmetric environments, which differ significantly from the environments present in Na-Sn model compounds.

TI Influence of synthesis conditions on the surface passivation and electrochemical behavior of layered cathode materials SO JOURNAL OF MATERIALS CHEMISTRY A LA English DT Article ID LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES; CHARGE COMPENSATION MECHANISM; RAY-ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY; TRANSITION-METAL; IN-SITU; OXYGEN; PERFORMANCE; OXIDES; SOFT AB Understanding the relationship between materials synthesis and electrochemical behaviors should provide valuable knowledge to further the advancement of lithium-ion batteries. In this work, layered cathode materials {e.g., LiNi0.4Mn0.4Co0.18Ti0.02O2 (NMCs)} were prepared under three different annealing conditions, i.e., 900 degrees C for 6 hours, 8 hours, and 12 hours, respectively. The resulting materials exhibit equivalent crystal structures and morphologies yet likely different surface chemical environments. These materials show distinctively different resistances against the surface passivation/reconstruction (reduction of the transition metals in the layered structure to form rock-salt and/or spinel phases) during electrochemical cycling (2.0-4.7 V vs. Li+/Li). In general, the materials annealed for longer durations exhibited lower tendencies to form the surface passivation layer. Furthermore, the surface passivation became less severe when the electrode materials were cycled under mild conditions, such as slow constant current charging-discharging as opposed to cyclic voltammetry. The present study correlates the synthetic conditions with the surface instability and the electrochemical performance in cathode materials, and provides new insights into improving synthetic protocols for battery materials.

Furthermore, to enhance specificity and transfection efficiency, polyelectrolyte complex micelles can be modified to include targeting capabilities. Here, we describe the design of targeted polyelectrolyte complex micelles containing inhibitors against dys-regulated microRNAs (miRNAs) that promote atherosclerosis, a leading cause of human mortality and morbidity. Inhibition of dys-regulated miRNAs in diseased cells associated with atherosclerosis has resulted in therapeutic efficacy in animal models and has been proposed to treat human diseases. However, the non-specific targeting of microRNA inhibitors via systemic delivery has remained an issue that may cause unwanted side effects. For this reason, we incorporated two different peptide sequences to our miRNA inhibitor containing polyelectrolyte complex micelles. One of the peptides (Arginine-Glutamic Acid-Lysine-Alanine or REKA) was used in another micellar system that demonstrated lesion-specific targeting in a mouse model of atherosclerosis. The other peptide (Valine-Histidine-Proline-Lysine-Glutamine-Histidine-Arginine or VHPKQHR) was identified via phage display and targets vascular endothelial cells through the vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1). In this study we have tested the in vitro efficacy and efficiency of lesion- and cell-specific delivery of microRNA inhibitors to the cells associated with atherosclerotic lesions via peptide-targeted polyelectrolyte complex micelles. Our results show that REKA-containing micelles (fibrin-targeting) and VHPKQHR-containing micelles (VCAM-1 targeting) can be used to carry and deliver microRNA inhibitors into macrophages and human endothelial cells, respectively. Additionally, the functionality of miRNA inhibitors in cells was demonstrated by analyzing miRNA expression as well as the expression or the biological function of its downstream target protein. Our study provides the first demonstration of targeting dys-regulated miRNAs in atherosclerosis using targeted polyelectrolyte complex micelles and holds promising potential for translational applications.

TI Pressure stabilizer for reproducible picoinjection in droplet microfluidic systems SO LAB ON A CHIP LA English DT Article ID MANIPULATION; COALESCENCE AB Picoinjection is a promising technique to add reagents into pre-formed emulsion droplets on chip however, it is sensitive to pressure fluctuation, making stable operation of the picoinjector challenging. We present a chip architecture using a simple pressure stabilizer for consistent and highly reproducible picoinjection in multi-step biochemical assays with droplets. Incorporation of the stabilizer immediately upstream of a picoinjector or a combination of injectors greatly reduces pressure fluctuations enabling reproducible and effective picoinjection in systems where the pressure varies actively during operation. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the pressure stabilizer for an integrated platform for on-demand encapsulation of bacterial cells followed by picoinjection of reagents for lysing the encapsulated cells. The pressure stabilizer was also used for picoinjection of multiple displacement amplification (MDA) reagents to achieve genomic DNA amplification of lysed bacterial cells.

However, there are differences. These variations and their relation to functional differences will be reviewed. BoNTs A, B, and E have similar structural domains responsible for specific functions in toxicity but have different domain organization. This leads to the difference in speed of onset of toxic effect and its efficacy. Individual domains of botulinum toxins also exhibit differences and these can be correlated to their functional differences. Structural information is also being used in developing countermeasures for botulism. The strategies and their results are discussed. C1 Brookhaven Natl Lab, Dept Biosci, Upton, NY 11973 USA.

The thermodynamic factor can be obtained directly from equilibrium MD simulations following the newly-minted method proposed by Schnell et al. (Chem. Phys. Lett., 2011, 504, 199-201). This process eliminates the need to implement the tedious and challenging Monte Carlo simulations for the adsorption isotherm, from which the thermodynamic factor is usually extracted. The satisfactory agreement between simulation and the literature is found for self-diffusivity, corrected diffusivity and transport diffusivity, as well as for the thermodynamic factor. The ideal selectivity for a propane-propylene mixture through SWNT membranes could be optimized through adjusting the concentration gradient. This method can be readily extended to the binary and multiple-component systems. C1 Oak Ridge Natl Lab, Div Chem Sci, Oak Ridge, TN 37831 USA.

Despite extensive research on new scintillator materials, the essential mechanism of energy absorption, excitation, and photo-emission has remained unchanged for over 50 years. Recently, a new class of semiconductor detector has been developed utilizing the radoptic effect, or the change of refractive index when subjected to radiation, in an attempt to record events faster than conventional scintillators.(1) This study was designed for the observation of the radoptic effect by optical interferometry in different semiconductors to experimentally determine the fastest and most sensitive materials for the optimization of current radsensors.

The cameras use a new type of position-sensitive He-3-filled ionization chamber, in which an anode plane is composed of an array of pads with independent acquisition channels. The charge is collected on each of the individual 5x5 mm(2) anode pads, (48x48 in total, corresponding to 24x24 cm(2) sensitive area) and read out by application specific integrated circuits (ASICs). The new design has several advantages for coded-aperture imaging applications in the field, compared to the previous generation of wire-grid based neutron detectors. Among these are its rugged design, lighter weight and use of non-flammable stopping gas. The pad-based readout occurs in parallel circuits, making it capable of high count rates, and also suitable to perform data analysis and imaging on an event-by-event basis. The spatial resolution of the detector can be better than the pixel size by using a charge sharing algorithm. In this paper we will report on the development and performance of the new pad-based neutron camera, describe a charge sharing algorithm to achieve sub-pixel spatial resolution and present the first stereoscopic coded aperture images of thermalized neutron sources using the new coded aperture thermal neutron imager system.

A Compton spectrometer has been proposed to conduct these measurements. Our Compton spectrometer is a 300 kg neodymium-iron magnet constructed by Morgan et al(1), and it is designed to measure spectra in the <1 MeV to 20 MeV range. In this device, the x-rays from a radiographic source are collimated into a narrow beam directed on a converter foil. The forward-selected Compton electrons that are ejected from the foil enter the magnetic field region of the spectrometer. The electrons are imaged on a focal plane, with their position determined as a function of their energy. The x-ray spectrum is then reconstructed. Challenges in obtaining these measurements include limited dose of x-rays and the short pulse duration (about 50 ns) for time-resolved measurements. Here we present energy calibration measurements of the spectrometer using a negative ion source. The resolution of the spectrometer was measured in previous calibration experiments to be the greater of 1% or 0.1 MeV/c(1). The reconstruction of spectra from a bremsstrahlung source and Co-60 source are also presented. C1 [Gehring, Amanda E.; Espy, Michelle A.; Haines, Todd J.; Hunter, James F.; King, Nick S.

This exploratory work attempts to estimate the x-ray attenuation profile for the energy range of a given Bremsstrahlung profile. Previous work has shown that calculating a single effective attenuation value for a polychromatic source is not accurate due to the non-linearities associated with the image formation process. Instead, we completely characterize the imaging system virtually and utilize an iterative search method/constrained optimization technique to approximate the attenuation profile of the object of interest. This work presents preliminary results from various approaches that were investigated. The early results illustrate the challenges associated with these techniques and the potential for obtaining an accurate estimate of the attenuation profile for objects composed of homogeneous materials.

This work shows that the energy required for a given reconstruction is based on performance and problem size. There are many ways to describe performance and energy efficiency, thus this work will investigate multiple metrics including performance-per-watt, energy-delay product, and energy consumption. This work found that irregular GPU-based approaches(1) realized tremendous savings in energy consumption when compared to CPU implementations while also significantly improving the performance-per-watt and energy-delay product metrics. Additional energy savings and other metric improvement was realized on the GPU-based reconstructions by improving storage I/O by implementing a parallel MIMD-like modularization of the compute and I/O tasks.

The intended primary use of the sensor is in the multi-frame 800 MeV proton radiography at LANL. The basic part of the hybrid is a large (48x49 mm(2)) stitched CMOS chip of 1100x1100 pixel count, with a minimum shutter speed of 50 ns. The performance parameters of this chip are compared to the first generation 3-frame 0.5-Mpixel custom hybrid imager. The 3-frame cameras have been in continuous use for many years, in a variety of static and dynamic experiments at LANSCE. The cameras can operate with a per-frame adjustable integration time of similar to 120ns-to-1s, and inter-frame time of 250ns to 2s. Given the 80 ms total readout time, the original and the new imagers can be externally synchronized to 0.1-to-5 Hz, 50-ns wide proton beam pulses, and record up to similar to 1000-frame radiographic movies typ. of 3-to-30 minute duration. The performance of the global electronic shutter is discussed and compared to that of a high-resolution commercial front-illuminated monolithic CMOS imager.

The generation of radiographs is more generally known as the forward projection imaging model. The formation of radiographs is very computationally expensive and is not typically approached for large-scale applications such as industrial radiography. The approach described in this work revolves around a single GPU-based implementation that performs the attenuation calculation in a massively parallel environment. Additionally, further performance gains are realized by exploiting the GPU-specific hardware. Early results show that using a single GPU can increase computational performance by three orders-of-magnitude for volumes of 1000(3) voxels and images with 1000(2) pixels.

TI Optimizing supercapacitor electrode density: achieving the energy of organic electrolytes with the power of aqueous electrolytes SO RSC ADVANCES LA English DT Article ID CARBON NANOTUBE ELECTRODES; HIGH-SURFACE-AREA; ELECTROCHEMICAL CAPACITORS; POROUS CARBON; HIGH-PERFORMANCE; PORE-SIZE; GRAPHENE; STORAGE AB The value of electrode density is often overlooked in the pursuit of impressive supercapacitor metrics. Low-density electrodes deliver the best performance in terms of gravimetric energy and power densities when only the mass of the electrodes is considered. However, energy and power values with respect to the total system mass (electrode + electrolyte) or volume are more meaningful for practical application. Low-density electrodes are impractical due to both large mass contributions by the electrolyte and large system volumes. Here, we use highly compressible graphene aerogel electrodes (up to 87.5% volumetric compression) to systematically characterize the effects of electrode density on energy and power metrics. The results reveal that electrode density is similar to electrode thickness in that both parameters have a squared effect on power. Accounting for the aqueous electrolyte's mass lowered the gravimetric energy and power by almost an order of magnitude for 0.144 g cm(-3) dense carbon electrodes but only by a factor of 1.5 when the electrode density was increased to 1.15 g cm(-3) through compression. The high-density electrodes achieve 8 W h kg(-1), 70 000 W kg(-1), and 144 F cm(-3) in a symmetric electrode setup after factoring in the aqueous electrolyte's mass. Therefore, in the pursuit of high energy per mass, it can be just as effective to lower the system's mass with smaller electrolyte fractions as it is to use electrolytes with larger voltage ranges. High electrode densities allow aqueous electrolyte supercapacitors to attain energy densities per the system mass comparable to those of commercially-available organic electrolyte supercapacitors while maintaining 10-100x greater power.

Here we explore an assembly process in which extended 1D nano-arrays (NAs) are formed through the directed, head-to-tail self-assembly of MT filaments. In particular, we demonstrate that the elongation of NAs over time is due to directed self-assembly of MTs by a process that is limited by diffusion and follows second-order rate kinetics. We further described a mechanism, both experimental and through molecular dynamics simulations, where stable junctions among MT building blocks are formed by alignment and adhesion of opposing filament ends, which is followed by formation of a stable junction through the incorporation of free tubulin and the removal of lattice vacancies. The fundamental principles described in this directed self-assembly process provide a promising basis for new approaches to manufacturing complex, heterostructured nanocomposites.

We compare the standard method of binning with a turbulence renormalization method and a machine learning approach using a data set derived from simulations. The method of binning is unable to cope with changes in turbulence; the turbulence renormalization method cannot account for changes in shear other than by using the the equivalent wind speed, which is derived from wind speed data at multiple heights in the rotor disk. The machine learning method is best able to predict the power as conditions change, and could be modified to include additional inflow variables such as veer or yaw error.

Using lidar-recorded data during normal operation, an error correction value for the nacelle vane wind direction measurement used in the yaw controller was determined. A field test was then conducted in which the turbine was operated with and without the correction applied to the yaw controller. Results demonstrated a significant increase in power capture. In addition, the study includes analysis on the impacts on loading of applying this yaw correction. The study demonstrates a successful application in field testing of using a nacelle-mounted lidar to improve turbine performance. C1 [Fleming, P. A.; Scholbrock, A. K.; Wright, A.

The framework consists of a model evaluation protocol integrated with a web-based portal for model benchmarking (www.windbench.net). This paper provides an overview of the building-block validation approach applied to wind farm wake models, including best practices for the benchmarking and data processing procedures for validation datasets from wind farm SCADA and meteorological databases. A hierarchy of test cases has been proposed for wake model evaluation, from similarity theory of the axisymmetric wake and idealized infinite wind farm, to single-wake wind tunnel (UMN-EPFL) and field experiments (Sexbierum), to wind farm arrays in offshore (Horns Rev, Lillgrund) and complex terrain conditions (San Gregorio). A summary of results from the axisymmetric wake, Sexbierum, Horns Rev and Lillgrund benchmarks are used to discuss the state-of-the-art of wake model validation and highlight the most relevant issues for future development.

Innovations in acoustics and/or siting in remote locations may enable future wind turbine designs to operate with higher tip speeds. Wind turbines designed to take advantage of higher tip speeds are expected to be able to capture more energy and utilize lighter drivetrains because of their decreased maximum torque loads. However, the magnitude of the potential cost savings is unclear, and the potential trade-offs with rotor and tower sizing are not well understood. A multidisciplinary, system-level framework was developed to facilitate wind turbine and wind plant analysis and optimization. The rotors, nacelles, and towers of wind turbines are optimized for minimum cost of energy subject to a large number of structural, manufacturing, and transportation constraints. These optimization studies suggest that allowing for higher maximum tip speeds could result in a decrease in the cost of energy of up to 5% for land-based sites and 2% for offshore sites when using current technology. Almost all of the cost savings are attributed to the decrease in gearbox mass as a consequence of the reduced maximum rotor torque. Although there is some increased energy capture, it is very minimal (less than 0.5%). Extreme increases in tip speed are unnecessary; benefits for maximum tip speeds greater than 100-110 m/s are small to nonexistent.

High infrastructure costs such as the offshore support structure and operation and maintenance costs for offshore wind technology, however, are significant obstacles that need to be overcome to make offshore wind a more cost-effective option. A vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT) rotor configuration offers a potential transformative technology solution that significantly lowers cost of energy for offshore wind due to its inherent advantages for the offshore market. However, several potential challenges exist for VAWTs and this paper addresses one of them with an initial investigation of dynamic aeroelastic stability for large-scale, multi-megawatt VAWTs. The aeroelastic formulation and solution method from the BLade Aeroelastic STability Tool (BLAST) for HAWT blades was employed to extend the analysis capability of a newly developed structural dynamics design tool for VAWTs. This investigation considers the effect of configuration geometry, material system choice, and number of blades on the aeroelastic stability of a VAWT, and provides an initial scoping for potential aeroelastic instabilities in large-scale VAWT designs.

The geometric features (fractures, fracture intersections, spaces between fracture intersections, etc.) that must be resolved in a stochastically generated DFN typically span a wide range of spatial scales and make the efficient automated generation of high-quality meshes a challenge. To deal with these challenges, many previous approaches often deformed the DFN to align its features with a mesh through various techniques including redefining lines of intersection as stair step functions and distorting the fracture edges. In contrast, FRAM generates networks on which high-quality meshes occur automatically by constraining the generation of the network. The cornerstone of FRAM is prescribing a minimum length scale and then restricting the generation of the network to only create features of that size and larger. The process is fully automated, meaning no adjustments of the mesh are performed, and the meshing of the individual fractures has been parallelized. Reported mesh statistics show that the computational meshes generated using FRAM are of high quality. Furthermore, the method does not require solving additional systems of linear equations which is needed if a nonconforming mesh is used. Details of the FRAM approach are provided, including its mathematical underpinnings and an algorithm for its implementation. We demonstrate the method's applicability by generating a DFN with similar statistics as the fractured granite at the Forsmark site in Sweden containing 6 700 fractures, and also solve the fully saturated Darcy flow equations to show the quality of the flow solutions which result from computation on the mesh.

Standard linear finite element method based on such body-fitted meshes is applied to the elliptic interface problem and proven to be superclose to the linear interpolation of the exact solution. Based on this superconvergence result, a maximal norm error estimate of order one and half is obtained without using the discrete maximum principle. The data structure and meshing algorithms, including local refinement and coarsening, are very simple. In particular, no tree structure is needed. An efficient solver for solving the resulting linear algebraic systems is also developed and shown be robust with respect to both the problem size and the jump of the diffusion coefficients.

To address this issue, we are developing a truly scalable O(N) complexity FPMD algorithm, based on density functional theory (DFT), which avoids global communications. The computational model uses a general nonorthogonal orbital formulation for the DFT energy functional, which requires knowledge of selected elements of the inverse of the associated overlap matrix. We present a scalable algorithm for approximately computing selected entries of the inverse of the overlap matrix, based on an approximate inverse technique, by inverting local blocks corresponding to principal submatrices of the global overlap matrix. The new FPMD algorithm exploits sparsity and uses nearest neighbor communication to provide a computational scheme capable of extreme scalability. Accuracy is controlled by the mesh spacing of the finite difference discretization, the size of the localization regions in which the electronic orbitals are confined, and a cutoff beyond which the entries of the overlap matrix can be omitted when computing selected entries of its inverse. We demonstrate the algorithm's excellent parallel scaling for up to O(100K) atoms on O(100K) processors, with a wall-clock time of O(1) minute per molecular dynamics time step.

Martin, James E. TI Complex magnetic fields breathe life into fluids SO SOFT MATTER LA English DT Article ID DYNAMICS; PATTERNS AB The vast majority of materials research exploits equilibrium or quasi-equilibrium processes to produce inert materials. In contrast, living systems depend on far-from-equilibrium kinetic processes that require a continuous flux of energy to persist and perform useful tasks. The Greek god Hephaestus forged metal automatons that he miraculously animated to perform the tasks of living creatures. Is something like this actually possible? Here we show that subjecting magnetic fluids suspended in an immiscible liquid to uniform, multidimensional, time-dependent magnetic fields, generates a variety of life-like collective dynamics, including various forms of locomotion, swarming and feeding, that are sustained by the continuous injection of energy via the applied field. These leaderless emergent behaviors occur autonomously, without human guidance, and are quite surprising. Such self-healing, remotely-powered fluid automatons could be used as an extraction/separation technology to efficiently purify water by scavenging toxic chemicals and microorganisms, or alternatively enable the controlled release of chemicals. Other possible applications include vigorous fluid mixing and even microdroplet manipulation for microfluidic bioassays.

TI Toward understanding the structural heterogeneity and ion pair stability in dicationic ionic liquids SO SOFT MATTER LA English DT Article ID X-RAY-SCATTERING; MOLECULAR-DYNAMICS SIMULATION; ALKYL CHAIN-LENGTH; NANOSCALE ORGANIZATION; SPATIAL HETEROGENEITY; AGGREGATION; DIFFUSION; SURFACE; SINGLE; ANIONS AB The structural and dynamical properties of dicationic ionic liquids (DILs) [C-n(mim)(2)](Tf2N)(2), that is, 3-methylimidazolium dications separated by an alkyl chain and with bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) amide as the anion, were investigated by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation in combination with small/wide-angle X-ray scattering (SWAXS) measurements. Enhanced spatial heterogeneity is observed as the DIL chain length is increased, characterized by the changes in the scattering and the increased heterogeneity order parameter (HOP). Temperature variation imposes only slight influences on the local structures of DILs compared to monocationic ionic liquids (MILs). The peaks at 0.9 angstrom(-1) and 1.4 angstrom(-1) of the structure function shift towards low Q as the temperature increases, in a similar manner to MILs, and changes in peak positions in response to temperature changes are reflected in HOP variations. However, the prepeak shift with increasing temperature is similar to 3 times smaller in DILs compared to MILs, and both MD and SWAXS indicate a DIL-specific prepeak shifting. Furthermore, the high ion pair/ion cage stability in DILs is indicative of high thermal stability and relative insensitivity of structural heterogeneity to temperature variation, which might be caused by the stronger Coulombic interactions in DILs.

SANS, being non-invasive, allowed the direct and quantitative measurement of cholesterol in intact vesicles. Our experimental measurements reveal a 61% mole fraction solubility limit of cholesterol in POPC, consistent with previous studies. However, in POPS the solubility limit of cholesterol is found to be 73%mole fraction. Previous work reports solubility limits of cholesterol in POPS varying significantly, ranging from 36% up to 66%. The CG MD simulations are in remarkable quantitative agreement with our experimental results showing similar solubility limits. Further, neither experiments nor simulations show evidence of stable nanodomains of cholesterol in POPS membranes as suggested in some previous reports.

Such simulations can be verified with the results from game theory analysis and further used to explore larger scale, real world scenarios involving multiple attackers, defenders, and information assets. We concentrated our analysis on the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) functional domain which the National Electric Sector Cyber security Organization Resource (NESCOR) working group has currently documented 29 failure scenarios. The strategy for the game was developed by analyzing five electric sector representative failure scenarios contained in the AMI functional domain. From these five selected scenarios, we characterize them into three specific threat categories affecting confidentiality, integrity and availability (CIA). The analysis using our ABGT simulation demonstrates how to model the AMI functional domain using a set of rationalized game theoretic rules decomposed from the failure scenarios in terms of how those scenarios might impact the AMI network with respect to CIA.

OTS solutions generated from DC models, however, are not guaranteed to produce a feasible AC dispatch. Additionally, whether AC-feasible OTS solutions will generate cost savings similar to those suggested in the DC model is not guaranteed. We present a method to correct OTS solutions obtained in the DC model to ensure feasible AC power flow solutions. When applied to the RTS-96 benchmark network, the method achieves results that are both AC feasible and generate significant system cost reductions - in some cases larger than the cost reductions suggested by the DC OTS.

When there is not sufficient transmission capacity to schedule or transport all desired electricity transfers, the transmission system is constrained, and the particular line, flowgate or interface is congested. While it is useful to measure congestion for several reasons - to identify where and how much congestion exists and how this changes over time, to determine whether or what to do about it, and to assess the effectiveness of actions taken - it is challenging to measure congestion in a meaningful and consistent way across markets or over time in the same market. This paper examines current public reporting of congestion measures for organized markets in the U. S., and what these measures can and cannot tell us about congestion across regions or over time in the same region.

Over the past few years, GridLAB-D has been used to conduct important analyses of smart grid concepts, but it is still quite limited by its computational performance. In order to break through the performance bottleneck to meet the need for large scale power grid simulations, we develop a thread group mechanism to implement highly granular multithreaded computation in GridLAB-D. We achieve close to linear speedup on the multithread version running on general purpose multicore commodity for a benchmark simple house model. The performance of the multithreading code also shows very favorable scalability properties, resource utilization, and much shorter execution time for large-scale complex power grid simulations.

TI Engineered Porous Carbon for High Volumetric Methane Storage SO ADSORPTION SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article ID DENSITY-FUNCTIONAL THEORY; ACTIVATED CARBON; CHEMICAL ACTIVATION; ADSORPTION; MICRO; KOH AB This paper covers the optimization of methane volumetric storage capacity by controlling the sub-nanometre (<1 nm) and supra-nanometre (1-5 nm) pore volumes. Nanospace engineering of KOH activated carbon generates an ideal structure for methane storage in which gas molecules are adsorbed as a high-density fluid by strong van der Waals forces into pores that are a few molecules in diameter. High specific surface areas, porosities, sub-nanometre (<1 nm) and supra-nanometre (1-5 nm) pore volumes are quantitatively selected by controlling the degree of carbon consumption and metallic potassium intercalation into the carbon lattice during the activation process. The formation of tuneable sub-nanometre and supra-nanometre pores is validated by sub-critical nitrogen adsorption. Aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy data show the atomic structure of high-surface-area activated carbon (2600 m(2)/g). While high surface area and high porosity are optimal for gravimetric methane storage, the results indicate that an exclusive sub-nanometre region, a low porosity and an acceptable surface area (approximately 2000 m2/g) are ideal for methane volumetric storage, storing 120 g CH4/l (184 vol/vol) at 35 bar and room temperature (22 degrees C). High-pressure methane isotherms up to 150 bar at 30, -25 and 50 degrees C on optimal activated carbons are presented. Methane volumetric storage capacity at 35 bar reaches 176 g/l (269 vol/vol) and 202 g/l (309 vol/vol) at -25 and -50 degrees C, respectively.

To be useful for different applications, the simulations must include accurate physical models for the processes of emission, for the structures of X-ray optical elements, interaction of the radiation with samples, and propagation of scattered X-rays to a detector. Based on the "Synchrotron Radiation Workshop" (SRW) open source computer code, we are developing a simulation framework, including a graphical user interface, web interface for client-server simulations, data format for wave-optics based representation of partially-coherent X-ray radiation, and a dictionary for universal description of optical elements. Also, we are evaluating formats for sample and experimental data representation for different types of experiments and processing. The simulation framework will facilitate start-to-end simulations by different computer codes complementary to SRW, for example GENESIS and FAST codes for simulating self-amplified spontaneous emission, SHADOW and McXtrace geometrical ray-tracing codes, as well as codes for simulation of interaction of radiation with matter and data processing in experiments exploiting coherence of radiation. The development of the new framework is building on components developed for the Python-based RadTrack software, which is designed for loose coupling of multiple electron and radiation codes to enable sophisticated workflows. We are exploring opportunities for collaboration with teams pursuing similar developments at European Synchrotron Radiation Facility and the European XFEL.

All elements of the beamline - insertion device, mirrors, variable-line-spacing gratings and slits - are included in the simulations. Radiation intensity distributions at the sample position are displayed for representative photon energies in the UV range (20 - 100 eV) where diffraction effects are strong. The finite acceptance of the refocusing mirrors is the dominating factor limiting the spatial resolution at the sample (by similar to 3 mu m at 20 eV). Absolute estimates of the radiation flux and energy resolution at the sample are also obtained from the electromagnetic calculations. The analysis of the propagated UV range undulator radiation at different deflection parameter values demonstrates that within the beamline angular acceptance a slightly "red-shifted" radiation provides higher flux at the sample and better energy resolution compared to the on-axis resonant radiation of the fundamental harmonic.

The short slice bunch and the long core bunch when passing through the 3 m long U20 invacuum undulator will radiate X-ray pulses with pulse length similar to 150 fs and 30 ps respectively. To separate the satellite radiation from the core radiation, we propose a conceptual optical scheme allowing for the separation. To get reliable estimates of the separation performances, we apply the Synchrotron Radiation Workshop (SRW) physical optics computer code(3,4) to study the wavefront propagation. As calculations show, at 7.8 keV, the separation signal-to-noise ratio can reach 5 similar to 12 and the satellite photon flux per pulse at sample can be 5000 similar to 20000 photons/0.1%BW with x-ray pulse length 150 similar to 330 fs depending on the separation method and the crossing angle between the low energy electron bunch and the high energy storage ring bunch. Since the repetition rate of the electron beam slicing system can reach 100 kHz, the average flux per second can reach 5 x 10(8) similar to 2 x 10(9) photons/sec/0.1%BW.

This technique is being further developed for diagnosis of High Energy Density Physics (HEDP) plasmas at laser-plasma facilities and synchrotron/x-ray free electron laser (XFEL) facilities. Useful spatial resolution (micron scale) of such small-scale plasma sources requires magnification, because of the finite pixel size of x-ray CCD detectors (13.5 mu m). A von-Hamos like spectrometer using spherical crystals is capable of magnification, as well as uniform sagittal focusing across the full x-ray spectrum, and is being tested in laboratory experiments using a tungsten-target microfocus (5-10 mu m) x-ray tube and 13-mu m pixel x-ray CCD. A spatial resolution better than 10 mu m has been demonstrated. Good spectral resolution is indicated by small differences (0.02 - 0.1 eV) of measured line widths with best available published natural line widths. Progress and status of HEDP measurements and the physics basis for these diagnostics are presented. A new type of x-ray crystal spectrometer with a convex spherically bent crystal is also reported. The status of testing of a 2D imaging microscope using matched pairs of spherical crystals with x rays will also be presented. The use of computational x-ray optics codes in development of these instrumental concepts is addressed.

The code calculates the diffraction effects from an optical element by means of wavefront propagation, and combines the result with that from regular ray-tracing. This hybrid procedure is invoked when diffraction is present (e.g., beam clipped by an aperture or the finite size of the optics) by user demand. The code enables the simulation of mirror figure errors in the framework of wave optics. The simulation of a complete beamline based on the far-field approximation is demonstrated. The near-field propagation is also implemented for individual optics. Finally, the applicable conditions and limitations of the new code are discussed.

One major application of the hybrid method is its ability to assess the effects of figure errors on the performance of focusing mirrors. In the present work, focusing profiles of mirrors with different figure errors are simulated using three available wave optics methods: the hybrid code based on the Fourier optics approach, the stationary phase approximation and a technique based on the direct Fresnel-Kirchhoff diffraction integral. The advantages and limitations of each wave optics method are discussed. We also present simulations performed using the figure errors of an elliptical cylinder mirror measured at APS using microstitching interferometry. These results show that the hybrid method provides accurate and quick evaluation of the expected mirror performance making it a useful tool for designing diffraction-limited focusing beamlines.

Now a special "propagator" module for calculating dynamical diffraction from a perfect crystal in the Bragg case has been written in C++, integrated into the SRW C/C++ library and made available for simulations using the Python interface of SRW. The propagator performs local processing of the frequency-domain electric field in the angular representation. A 2-D Fast Fourier Transform is used for changing the field representation from/to the coordinate representation before and after applying the crystal propagator. This ensures seamless integration of the new propagator with the existing functionalities of the SRW package, allows compatibility with existing propagators for other optical elements, and enables the simulation of complex beamlines transporting partially coherent X-rays. The code has been benchmarked by comparison with predictions made by plane-wave and spherical-wave dynamical diffraction theory. Test simulations for a selection of X-ray synchrotron beamlines are also shown. C1 [Sutter, John P.] Diamond Light Source Ltd, Harwell Sci & Innovat Campus, Didcot OX11 0DE, Oxon, England.

Its analyzer system utilizes an L-shaped laterally graded multilayer mirror in tandem with a multi-crystal arrangement. The multi-crystal arrangement explores the angular dispersion effect in extremely asymmetric Bragg reflections to achieve sub-meV energy resolution at an energy about 9.1 keV. Its angular acceptance (similar to 0.1 mrad) is about two orders of magnitude lower than the spherically-bent backscattering analyzers conventionally used in other IXS spectrometers. The L-shaped laterally graded multiplayer mirror was designed to increase the angular acceptance of this new multi-crystal optics to a comparable level. It performs angular collimation of the incoming beam from about 15 mrad down to 0.1 mrad in both vertical and horizontal directions. Here we present simulations of the mirror performance and study the positioning and stability requirements in conjunction with the multi-crystal energy analyzer.

A new module has been developed for SRW for calculating dynamical diffraction from a perfect crystal in the Bragg case. We demonstrate its successful application to the modelling of partially-coherent undulator radiation propagating through the Inelastic X-ray Scattering (IXS) beamline of the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The IXS beamline contains a double-crystal and a multiple-crystal high-energy-resolution monochromator, as well as complex optics such as compound refractive lenses and Kirkpatrick-Baez mirrors for the X-ray beam transport and shaping, which makes it an excellent case for benchmarking the new functionalities of the updated SRW codes. As a photon-hungry experimental technique, this case study for the IXS beamline is particularly valuable as it provides an accurate evaluation of the photon flux at the sample position, using the most advanced simulation methods and taking into account parameters of the electron beam, details of undulator source, and the crystal optics.

In the present work, we demonstrate the limitations of specification, characterization, and performance evaluation based on the totally statistical approach, including root-mean-square (rms) roughness and residual slope variation, evaluated over the spatial frequency bandwidths that are system specific, and a more refined statistical description of the surface morphology based on the power spectral density (PSD) distribution. We show that the limitations are fatal, especially, in the case of highly collimated coherent x-ray beams, like beams from X-ray Free Electron Lasers (XFELs). The limitations arise due to the deterministic character of the surface profile data for a definite mirror, while the specific correlation properties of the surface are essential for the performance of the entire x-ray optical system. As a possible way to overcome the problem, we treat a method, suggested in [Opt. Eng. 51(4), 046501, 2012] and based on an autoregressive moving average (ARMA) modeling of the slope measurements with a limited number of parameters. The effectiveness of the approach is demonstrated with an example peculiar to the x-ray optical systems under design at the European XFEL.

For SHADOW, we employed an SRW-generated source file which simulated spectral-angular distribution and apparent source characteristics of radiation produced by a 2.8 m long IVU with a 23 mm period and allowed us to realistically estimate the beam intensity at the sample positions. We highlight the necessity to use realistic mirror surface profiles with expected slope errors as opposed to "standard" built-in SHADOW surface error options. The beamline performances at three different x-ray photon energies: 20358 eV, 10778 eV, and 2101 eV, under different focusing conditions, have been studied. We compare beamline simulations performed with both software packages. In particular, we stress that the neglect of wavefront diffraction effects in geometrical ray-tracing approach results in significant discrepancies in beam spot size and beam shape, the correct assessments of which are crucial in determining the future performance of an instrument.

TI The Origin and Coupling Mechanism of the Magnetoelectric Effect in TMCl2-4SC(NH2)(2) (TM = Ni and Co) SO ADVANCES IN CONDENSED MATTER PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID COBALT CHLORIDE; THIOUREA; MAGNETS AB Most research on multiferroics and magnetoelectric effects to date has focused on inorganic oxides. Molecule-based materials are a relatively new field in which to search for magnetoelectric multiferroics and to explore new coupling mechanisms between electric and magnetic order. We present magnetoelectric behavior in NiCl2-4SC(NH2)(2) (DTN) and CoCl2-4SC(NH2)(2) (DTC). These compounds form tetragonal structures where the transition metal ion (Ni or Co) is surrounded by four electrically polar thiourea molecules [SC(NH2)(2)]. By tracking the magnetic and electric properties of these compounds as a function of magnetic field, we gain insights into the coupling mechanism by observing that, in DTN, the electric polarization tracks the magnetic ordering, whereas in DTC it does not. For DTN, all electrically polar thiourea molecules tilt in the same direction along the c-axis, breaking spatial-inversion symmetry, whereas, for DTC, two thiourea molecules tilt up and two tilt down with respect to c-axis, perfectly canceling the net electrical polarization. Thus, the magnetoelectric coupling mechanism in DTN is likely a magnetostrictive adjustment of the thiourea molecule orientation in response to magnetic order.

TI Development of an aerosol microphysical module: Aerosol Two-dimensional bin module for foRmation and Aging Simulation (ATRAS) SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID SECONDARY ORGANIC AEROSOL; LASER-INDUCED INCANDESCENCE; BASIS-SET APPROACH; MIXING STATE; BLACK CARBON; PARTICLE FORMATION; ATMOSPHERIC PARTICLES; NUMBER CONCENTRATIONS; BOUNDARY-LAYER; MODEL AB Number concentrations, size distributions, and mixing states of aerosols are essential parameters for accurate estimations of aerosol direct and indirect effects. In this study, we develop an aerosol module, designated the Aerosol Two-dimensional bin module for foRmation and Aging Simulation (ATRAS), that can explicitly represent these parameters by considering new particle formation (NPF), black carbon (BC) aging, and secondary organic aerosol (SOA) processes. A two-dimensional bin representation is used for particles with dry diameters from 40 nm to 10 mu m to resolve both aerosol sizes (12 bins) and BC mixing states (10 bins) for a total of 120 bins. The particles with diameters between 1 and 40 nm are resolved using additional eight size bins to calculate NPF. The ATRAS module is implemented in the WRF-Chem model and applied to examine the sensitivity of simulated mass, number, size distributions, and optical and radiative parameters of aerosols to NPF, BC aging, and SOA processes over East Asia during the spring of 2009. The BC absorption enhancement by coating materials is about 50% over East Asia during the spring, and the contribution of SOA processes to the absorption enhancement is estimated to be 10-20% over northern East Asia and 20-35% over southern East Asia. A clear north-south contrast is also found between the impacts of NPF and SOA processes on cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) concentrations: NPF increases CCN concentrations at higher supersaturations (smaller particles) over northern East Asia, whereas SOA increases CCN concentrations at lower supersaturations (larger particles) over southern East Asia. The application of ATRAS in East Asia also shows that the impact of each process on each optical and radiative parameter depends strongly on the process and the parameter in question. The module can be used in the future as a benchmark model to evaluate the accuracy of simpler aerosol models and examine interactions between NPF, BC aging, and SOA processes under different meteorological conditions and emissions.

Using biofilm image reconstruction, it was previously found that biofilms with a completely different look can have nearly identical structural parameters and that the most commonly utilized global structural parameters were not sufficient to uniquely define these biofilms. Here, additional local and global parameters are introduced to show that these parameters considerably increase the reliability of the image reconstruction process. Assessment using human evaluators indicated that the correct identification rate of the reconstructed images increased from 50% to 72% with the introduction of the new parameters into the reconstruction procedure. An expanded set of parameters especially improved the identification of biofilm structures with internal orientational features and of structures in which colony sizes and spatial locations varied. Hence, the newly introduced structural parameter sets helped to better classify the biofilms by incorporating finer local structural details into the reconstruction process.

TI Comparing three vegetation monoterpene emission models to measured gas concentrations with a model of meteorology, air chemistry and chemical transport SO BIOGEOSCIENCES LA English DT Article ID VOLATILE ORGANIC-COMPOUNDS; REACTION-MASS-SPECTROMETRY; LONG-TERM MEASUREMENTS; SCOTS PINE STAND; ISOPRENE EMISSION; BOREAL FOREST; PTR-MS; COMPOUND EMISSIONS; SEASONAL-VARIATION; FIELD-MEASUREMENTS AB Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) are essential in atmospheric chemistry because of their chemical reactions that produce and destroy tropospheric ozone, their effects on aerosol formation and growth, and their potential influence on global warming. As one of the important BVOC groups, monoterpenes have been a focus of scientific attention in atmospheric research. Detailed regional measurements and model estimates are needed to study emission potential and the monoterpene budget on a global scale. Since the use of empirical measurements for upscaling is limited by many physical and biological factors, such as genetic variation, temperature and light, water availability, seasonal changes, and environmental stresses, comprehensive inventories over larger areas are difficult to obtain. We applied the boundary-layer-chemistry-transport model SOSA (model to Simulate the concentrations of Organic vapours and Sulphuric Acid) to investigate Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) monoterpene emissions in a boreal coniferous forest at the SMEAR (Station for Measuring forest Ecosystem-Atmosphere Relations) II site, southern Finland. SOSA was applied to simulate monoterpene emissions with three different emission modules: the semiempirical G95, MEGAN (Model of Emissions of Gases and Aerosols from Nature) 2.04 with improved descriptions of temperature and light responses and including also carbonyl emissions, and a process-based model SIM-BIM (Seasonal Isoprenoid synthase Model -Biochemical Isoprenoid biosynthesis Model). For the first time, the emission models included seasonal and diurnal variations in both quantity and chemical species of emitted monoterpenes, based on parameterizations obtained from field measurements. Results indicate that modelling and observations agreed reasonably well and that the model can be used for investigating regional air chemistry questions related to monoterpenes. The predominant modelled monoterpene concentrations, alpha-pinene and Delta(3)-carene, are consistent with observations.

TI Forest response to increased disturbance in the central Amazon and comparison to western Amazonian forests SO BIOGEOSCIENCES LA English DT Article ID CO2-INDUCED CLIMATE-CHANGE; PROCESS-BASED MODEL; LONG-TERM PLOTS; TROPICAL FORESTS; RAIN-FOREST; CARBON BALANCE; GAP MODEL; ATMOSPHERIC CHANGE; NORTH-AMERICA; WOOD DENSITY AB Uncertainties surrounding vegetation response to increased disturbance rates associated with climate change remains a major global change issue for Amazonian forests. Additionally, turnover rates computed as the average of mortality and recruitment rates in the western Amazon basin are doubled when compared to the central Amazon, and notable gradients currently exist in specific wood density and aboveground biomass (AGB) between these two regions. This study investigates the extent to which the variation in disturbance regimes contributes to these regional gradients. To address this issue, we evaluated disturbance-recovery processes in a central Amazonian forest under two scenarios of increased disturbance rates using first ZELIG-TROP, a dynamic vegetation gap model which we calibrated using long-term inventory data, and second using the Community Land Model (CLM), a global land surface model that is part of the Community Earth System Model (CESM). Upon doubling the mortality rate in the central Amazon to mirror the natural disturbance regime in the western Amazon of similar to 2% mortality, the two regions continued to differ in multiple forest processes. With the inclusion of elevated natural disturbances, at steady state, AGB significantly decreased by 41.9% with no significant difference between modeled AGB and empirical AGB from the western Amazon data sets (104 vs. 107 Mg C ha(-1), respectively). However, different processes were responsible for the reductions in AGB between the models and empirical data set. The empirical data set suggests that a decrease in wood density is a driver leading to the reduction in AGB. While decreased stand basal area was the driver of AGB loss in ZELIG-TROP, a forest attribute that does not significantly vary across the Amazon Basin. Further comparisons found that stem density, specific wood density, and basal area growth rates differed between the two Amazonian regions. Last, to help quantify the impacts of increased disturbances on the climate and earth system, we evaluated the fidelity of tree mortality and disturbance in CLM. Similar to ZELIG-TROP, CLM predicted a net carbon loss of 49.9 %, with an insignificant effect on aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP). Decreased leaf area index (LAI) was the driver of AGB loss in CLM, another forest attribute that does not significantly vary across the Amazon Basin, and the temporal variability in carbon stock and fluxes was not replicated in CLM. Our results suggest that (1) the variability between regions cannot be entirely explained by the variability in disturbance regime, but rather potentially sensitive to intrinsic environmental factors; or (2) the models are not accurately simulating all tropical forest characteristics in response to increased disturbances.

Solutions at 5 to 20 wt. % of zinc di-2-ethylheicyl dithio phosphate (ZDDP) and chlorinated paraffins (CP) in inhibited paraffinic mineral oil (IPMO) and inhibited soy bean oil (ISBO) were compared on a Twist Compression Tribotester (TCT) at 200 MPa. Microscopy of wear tracks after 10 seconds tribotesting showed much smoother surface profiles than those of unworn areas. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) coupled with Ar-ion sputtering demonstrated that additive solutions in ISBO formed 2-3 times thicker carbon-containing nano-layers compared to IPMO. The amounts of Cl, S or P were unexpectedly low and detectable only on the top surface with less than 5 nm penetration. CP blends in IPMO formed more inorganic chlorides than those in ISBO. It can be concluded that base oils are primarily responsible for the thickness of carbonaceous nano-layers during early stages of severe boundary lubrication, while CP or ZDDP additive contributions are important, but less significant.

In this work, we studied the fundamental interactions of trivalent cations with functionalized mesoporous silica. We contacted trivalent cations of varying ionic radii with N-[5-(trimethoxysilyl)-2-aza-1-oxopentyl] caprolactam functionalized mesoporous silica with the aim of probing the binding mechanism of the metal to the surface of the solid. We studied the functionalized silica using solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy before and after contact with the metals of interest. We collected NMR spectra of the various metals, as well as of Si-29 and C-13 to probe the silica substrate and the ligand properties, respectively. The NMR spectra indicate that the metals bind to the functionalized silica via two mechanisms. Aluminum sorbed to both the silica and the ligand, but with different coordination for each. Scandium also sorbed to both the silica and the ligand, and unlike the aluminum, had the same coordination number. Additionally, the functionalized silica was susceptible to acid hydrolysis and two primary mechanisms of degradation were observed: detachment from the silica surface and opening of the seven-membered ring in the ligand. Opening of the seven-membered ring may be beneficial in that it decreases steric hindrance of the molecule for binding.

This paper discusses the modeled detection efficiency and measured brightness of a number of scintillator materials. An optical imaging camera records images of scintillator emission excited by a pulsed x-ray machine. The efficiency of various thicknesses of monolithic LYSO:Ce (cerium-doped lutetium yttrium orthosilicate) are being studied to understand brightness and resolution trade-offs compared with a range of micro-columnar CsI:Tl (thallium-doped cesium iodide) scintillator screens. The micro-columnar scintillator structure apparently provides an optical gain mechanism that results in brighter signals from thinner samples. The trade-offs for brightness versus resolution in monolithic scintillators is straightforward. For higher-energy x-rays, thicker materials generally produce brighter signal due to x-ray absorption and the optical emission properties of the material. However, as scintillator thickness is increased, detector blur begins to dominate imaging system resolution due to the volume image generated in the scintillator thickness and the depth of field of the imaging system. We employ a telecentric optical relay lens to image the scintillator onto a recording CCD camera. The telecentric lens helps provide sharp focus through thicker-volume emitting scintillators. Stray light from scintillator emission can also affect the image scene contrast. We have applied an optical light scatter model to the imaging system to minimize scatter sources and maximize scene contrasts.

SrI2(Eu2+) has excellent material properties for gamma ray spectroscopy: high light yield (>80,000 ph/MeV), excellent light yield proportionality, and high effective atomic number (Z = 49) for high photoelectric cross-section. High quality 1.5 '' and 2 '' diameter boules are now available due to rapid advances in SrI2(Eu) crystal growth. In these large SrI2(Eu) crystals, optical self-absorption by Eu2+ degrades the energy resolution as measured by analog electronics, but we mitigate this effect through on-the-fly correction of the scintillation pulses by digital readout electronics. Using this digital correction technique we have demonstrated energy resolution of 2.9% FWHM at 662 keV for a 4 in(3) SrI2(Eu) crystal, over 2.6 inches long. Based on this digital readout technology, we have developed a detector prototype with greatly improved radioisotope identification capability compared to Sodium Iodide, NaI(Tl). The higher resolution of SrI2(Eu) yields a factor of 2 to 5 improvement in radioisotope identification (RIID) error rate compared to NaI(Tl). C1 [Beck, P. R.; Cherepy, N. J.; Payne, S.

These applications include the areas of nuclear nonproliferation, homeland security, the detection of undeclared nuclear material, nuclear physics and materials science, medical diagnostics, space physics, high energy physics, and radiation monitoring systems for first responders, police, and fire/rescue personnel. Recent advances in the growth of large single crystals of these scintillator materials hold the promise of higher crystal yields and significantly lower detector production costs. In the present work, we describe new processing protocols that, when combined with our molten salt filtration methods, have led to advances in achieving a significant reduction of cracking effects during the growth of single crystals of SrI2:Eu2+. In particular, we have found that extended pumping on the molten crystal-growth charge under vacuum for time periods extending up to 48 hours is generally beneficial in compensating for variations in the alkaline-earth halide purity and stoichiometry of the materials as initially supplied by commercial sources. These melt-pumping and processing techniques are now being applied to the purification of CaI2:Eu2+ and some mixed-anion europium-doped alkaline-earth halides prior to single-crystal growth by means of the vertical Bridgman technique. The results of initial studies of the effects of aliovalent doping of SrI2:Eu2+ on the scintillation characteristics of this material are also described. C1 [Boatner, L. A.; Ramey, J. O.; Kolopus, J.

Transparent ceramic GYGAG(Ce), has a peak emission wavelength of 550 nm that is better matched to Silicon photodetectors than to standard PMTs. We are therefore developing a spectrometer based on pixelated GYGAG(Ce) on a Silicon photodiode array that can provide R(662 keV) = 3.6%. In comparison, with large 1-2 in(3) size GYGAG(Ce) ceramics we obtain R(662 keV) = 4.6% with PMT readout. We find that ceramic GYGAG(Ce) of a given stoichiometric chemical composition can exhibit very different scintillation properties, depending on sintering conditions and post-anneal treatments. Among the characteristics of transparent ceramic garnet scintillators that can be controlled by fabrication conditions are: scintillation decay components and their amplitudes, intensity and duration of afterglow, thermoluminescence glow curve peak positions and amplitudes, integrated light yield, light yield non-proportionality - as measured in the Scintillator Light Yield Non-Proportionality Characterization Instrument (SLYNCI), and energy resolution for gamma spectroscopy. Garnet samples exhibiting a significant fraction of Cerium dopant in the tetravalent valence also exhibit: faster overall scintillation decay, very low afterglow, high light yield, but poor light yield proportionality and degraded energy resolution.

We found that heating them at 720 K entails a decrease in the concentration of electrically active centers, i.e., a "self-cleaning" of the adverse effects of some contaminants. In samples wherein the conductivity was determined by the concentration of acceptors of the A1 type (E-V + 0.03-0.05) eV, after heating it becomes controlled by a deeper acceptor of the A2 type (E-V + 0.13-0.14) eV, and both the charge-carrier's mobility and the ratio mu(P80)/mu(P300) increase. This effect reflects the fact that during thermal treatment, the A1 acceptors and the compensating donors are removed from their electrically active positions, most likely due to their diffusion and trapping within the inclusions in the CdTe bulk, where they have little or no influence on carrier scattering and trapping.

Both a computational and experimental investigation were conducted. In the computational investigation, it is shown that the imaging potential of Lithium Indium Diselenid (LISe) is excellent, even when using a large pixel pitch through the use of super sampling. In the experimental investigation, it was found that a single pixel LISe detector using detector super sampling shows a spatial variation in the count rate, which is a clear sign of imaging capability. However, a good image was not obtained in the first experiment and may be caused by a variety of experimental conditions. Finally, a search is still underway to find a suitable contact metal with good mechanical adhesion for wedge bonding.

X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) was used to investigate the metal contact surface/interfacial structure on TlBr devices. Device-grade TlBr was polished and subjected to a 32% HCl etch to remove surface damage prior to Mo or Pt contact deposition. High-resolution photoemission measurements on the Tl 4f, Br 3d, Cl 2p, Mo 3d and Pt 4f core lines were used to evaluate surface chemistry and non-equilibrium interfacial diffusion. Results indicate that anion substitution at the TlBr surface due to the HCl etch forms TlBr1-xClx with consequent formation of a shallow heterojunction. In addition, a reduction of Tl1+ to Tl-0 is observed at the metal contacts after device operation in both air and N-2 at ambient temperature. Understanding contact/device degradation versus operating environment is useful for improving radiation detector performance. C1 [Nelson, A. J.; Swanberg, E. L.; Voss, L. F.; Graff, R. T.; Conway, A.

This often results in increased leakage current that limits the performance of the detector. An effective method of removing the surface damage and thus reducing the leakage current is through the use of chemical treatments. The effects discussed in this study include: chemical polishing with a mixture of hydrogen bromide solution followed by passivation with ammonium fluoride in a hydrogen peroxide solution. The effects on the current-voltage measurements and the spectral response were monitored over a 2-week period. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was also obtained to observe the formation of chemical species on treated surfaces. The resistivity of the treated CdZnTe samples is on the order of 10(10) ohm-cm. The current in the I-V measurements increased rapidly immediately following the chemical polishing and surface passivation, and decreased steadily afterwards. The spectral response showed that the 59.5-keV peak of Am-241 was stable in the same position over the test period.

Therefore, kinetic Monte Carlo simulations were performed to calculate the distances traveled by hot electrons and holes as well as the time required for the particles to reach thermal energy following gamma-ray irradiation. CsI, a common scintillator from the alkali halide class of materials, was used as a model system. Two models of quasi-particle dispersion were evaluated, namely, the effective mass approximation model and a model that relied on the group velocities of electrons and holes determined from band structure calculations. Both models predicted rapid electron-hole pair recombination over short distances (a few nanometers) as well as a significant extent of charge separation between electrons and holes that did not recombine and reached thermal energy. However, the effective mass approximation model predicted much longer electron thermalization distances and times than the group velocity model. Comparison with limited experimental data suggested that the group velocity model provided more accurate predictions. Nonetheless, both models indicated that hole thermalization is faster than electron thermalization and thus is likely to be an important factor determining the extent of third-order nonlinear quenching in high-density regions. The merits of different models of quasi-particle dispersion are also discussed.

Its main advantage is the near-unity segregation coefficient of Se in the CdTe matrix that results in higher compositional homogeneity of the grown ingot. In this paper, we discussed the growth of CdTeSe crystals by various techniques, such as the Traveling Heater method and the Vertical Bridgman technique. We analyzed the different defects in the grown ingots, including Te inclusions/precipitations, sub-grain boundaries and dislocation networks, and studied their effects on the materials' charge-transport characteristics. Our experimental findings demonstrated several advantages of CdTeSe over CZT, in addition to the near-unity segregation coefficient of Se, including lower concentrations of Te-inclusions/precipitations and sub-grain boundaries and a higher degree of uniformity. Our findings on its charge-transport characteristics also are very encouraging. C1 [Roy, U. N.; Bolotnikov, A. E.; Camarda, G. S.; Cui, Y.; Hossain, A.; Yang, G.; Tappero, R.; James, R.

The crystals were grown from a tellurium solution melt at 800 degrees C by the zone-melting method, in which a polycrystalline rod in a quartz ampoule was moved through a zone heater at a rate of 2 mm per day. The synthesis of the rod was carried out at similar to 1150 degrees C. We determined the important electro-physical parameters of this semiconductor, using techniques based on a parallel study of the temperature dependence of current-voltage characteristics in both the ohmic and the space-charge-limited current regions. We established in these crystals the relationship between the energy levels and the concentrations of deep-level impurity states, responsible for dark conductivity and their usefulness as detectors.

Our results show that these plastic scintillators have a relatively high light output (higher than BGO) and exhibit very good neutron-gamma PSD with a Figure-of-Merit of >= 2.0 at 2.5 MeVee cut-off energy. Under X-ray excitation, the radioluminescence spectrum exhibits a broad band between 400 and 650 nm peaking at 470 nm which is well-matched to bialkali photomultiplier tubes and UV-enhanced photodiodes. The scintillation decay due to Ir3+ luminescence is of the order of 1 us.

The crystals are grown using one of the state-of-the-art methods either the traveling heating method or the modified Bridgman method. The change resistivity was evaluated using the steady-state current with and without light. Additionally, the change in current with both IR sources were correlated to the influence of secondary phases (SP) in each crystal using IR transmission microscopy to determine whether the number and size of the impurities has a drastic effect based on the current-voltage (IV) characteristics. SP at various depths within CZT are connected to the existence of variable depth, IR-excitable traps that lie within the bandgap. The release of these traps will significantly affect the overall current in the system. However, the current increase may not match the overall energy of the light utilized are more dependent on the size and quantity for each energy range.

Owing to recent breakthroughs in grazing incidence mirror technology, next-generation hard X-ray telescopes will achieve angular resolution between 5 and 10 arc seconds - about an order of magnitude better than that of the NuSTAR hard X-ray telescope. As a consequence, the next generation of X-ray telescopes will require pixelated X-ray detectors with pixels on a grid with a lattice constant of <= 250 mu m. Additional detector requirements include a low energy threshold of less than 5 keV and an energy resolution of less than one keV. The science drivers for a high angular-resolution X-ray mission include studies and measurements of black hole spins, the cosmic evolution of super-massive black holes, active galactic nuclei feedback, and the behaviour of matter at very high densities. In this contribution, we report on our R&D studies with the goal to optimise small-pixel Cadmium Zinc Telluride and Cadmium Telluride detectors.

The technology has matured over the past two decades and is currently being considered for applications where the mechanical vibrations, limited reliability, or insufficient portability of existing cooling technologies pose challenges. Possible applications include satellite-borne infrared imaging, laser metrology, and gamma-ray spectroscopy as well as high-reliability cooling of semiconductors and high-temperature superconductors. The best results achieved so far have been in cooling rare-earth-doped solids, especially materials doped with ytterbium. We discuss the fundamental physical principles of solid-state laser cooling, the resulting material and device design requirements, and the estimated payload heat lift of an optical cryocooler.

Two different types of defects are compared, those produced by lattice mismatch and by proton irradiation. It is shown that the introduction of defects always elevates dark currents; however the effect on dark current is different for nBn detectors and conventional photodiodes. The dark currents of nBn detectors are found to be more tolerant of defects compared to pn-junction based devices. Defects more weakly increase dark currents, and cooling reduces the defect-produced dark currents more rapidly in nBn detectors than in conventional photodiodes. C1 [Savich, G. R.; Sidor, D.

Traditional standards and methods for characterizing the properties of these surfaces use coordinate space representations of the surface topography. The computing power available today in modest personal computers makes it easy to transform into frequency space and apply well-known signal processing techniques to analyze the data. The Power Spectral Density (PSD) function of the surface height distribution is a powerful tool to assess the quality and characteristics of the surface in question. In order to extract useful information about the spectral distribution of surface roughness or mid-spatial frequency error over a particular spatial frequency band, it is necessary to pre-process the data by first detrending the surface figure terms and then applying a window function before computing the PSD. This process eliminates discontinuities at the borders of the profile that would otherwise produce large amounts of spurious power that would mask the true nature of the surface texture. This procedure is now part of a new draft standard that is being adopted by the US OEOSC for analysis of the statistics of optical surface, OP1.005.1 Illustrations of the usefulness of these procedures will be presented.

Flows in random and heterogeneous porous media is one of the cases where the random inputs (e.g., permeability) are often modeled as a stochastic field with high-dimensional random parameters. To treat the high dimensionality and heterogeneity efficiently, model reduction is employed in both stochastic space and physical space. An analysis of variance (ANOVA)-based mixed multiscale finite element method (MsFEM) is developed to decompose the high-dimensional stochastic problem into a set of lower-dimensional stochastic subproblems, which require much less computational complexity and significantly reduce the computational cost in stochastic space, and the mixed MsFEM can capture the heterogeneities on a coarse grid to greatly reduce the computational cost in the spatial domain. In addition, to enhance the efficiency of the traditional ANOVA method, an adaptive ANOVA method based on a new adaptive criterion is developed, where the most active dimensions can be selected to greatly reduce the computational cost before conducting ANOVA decomposition. This novel adaptive criterion is based on variance-decomposition method coupled with sparse-grid probabilistic collocation method or multilevel Monte Carlo method. The advantage of this adaptive criterion lies in its much lower computational overhead for identifying the active dimensions and interactions. A number of numerical examples in two-phase stochastic flows are presented and demonstrate the accuracy and performance of the adaptive ANOVA-based mixed MsFEM.

However, its development has been hindered by many problems in relation to the out-diffusion of dissolved lithium polysulphide (PS, Li2Sn with 4 <= n <= 8), the series of sulphur reduction intermediates. In this paper we demonstrate a proof of concept for blocking the out-diffusion of the dissolved PS by employing a dual-layer structural sulphur cathode with a porous poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) membrane coated on the top surface. Upon activation with the liquid electrolyte, the porous PAA membrane becomes a gel and the resulting gel chemically blocks the out-diffusion of PS anions by forming hydrogen bonds between the COOH groups in the gelled PAA and the negatively charged PS anions. Verified visually by a potentiostatic polarization experiment at 1.7 V vs. Li/Li+, the out-diffusion of PS in an electrolyte-flooded Li/S cell is effectively blocked by the dual-layer structural sulphur cathode. As a result, the Li/S cell consisting of a dual-layer structural sulphur cathode exhibits much improved capacity retention while still providing a similar specific capacity, as compared with the cell using the conventional sulphur cathode.

Here, we describe the fabrication of porous Cu-C nanocomposites by water-ice templating in an aqueous CuSO4 solution with a suspension of graphene oxide and carbon nanotubes. Upon the crystallization of water, the salt and carbon constituents segregate at grain boundaries of water crystallites. Freeze drying (vacuum desiccation) is used to remove water, creating pores. Final Cu-C composites are obtained by thermally-induced reduction of graphene oxide and decomposition of CuSO4. Pore walls in resultant Cu-C foams consist of a random network of reduced graphene oxide sheets and carbon nanotubes decorated with nearly spherical Cu nanoparticles with average diameters tunable in the range of similar to 30-80 nm. With this approach, we demonstrate nanoporous Cu-C composites with an ultralow C matrix density of >= 5 mg cm(-3) and controllable Cu loading in the range of similar to 0-65 wt%. This versatile method could be extended to fabricate other nanoporous metal-carbon composites geared for specific applications. As an example, we demonstrate Ag-C nanocomposites by using AgNO3 instead of CuSO4. C1 [Charnvanichborikarn, S.; Worsley, M. A.; Bagge-Hansen, M.; Colvin, J. D.; Kucheyev, S.

Up to 8 mu mol h(-1) of H-2 was evolved without co-catalyst loading. The photocatalyst was synthesized by the ammonolysis of gallium nitrate hydrate (Ga(NO3)(3)center dot xH(2)O). Optical measurements indicate an indirect gap (E-g) in the visible region (E-g = 2.50 eV) which is ascribed to photoexcitations from the N 2p valence states. A direct gap has an onset at ultraviolet energies (E-g = 3.69 eV), which is ascribed to photoexcitations from lower energy O 2p valence states. C1 [Dharmagunawardhane, H. A.

Not only the HER catalysts need to be composed of inexpensive elements, they are also desirable to be prepared at low energy cost. In this work, we report that nickel-sulfide (Ni-S) films prepared by facile potentiodynamic deposition are active HER catalysts in aqueous media. Notably, the Ni-S films showed catalytic activity in water with a wide range of pH values (0 to 14), as well as in natural water. In pH 7 phosphate buffer, a current density of 60 mA cm(-2) could be achieved with a Tafel slope of 77 mV dec(-1) and a Faradaic efficiency of 100%. A long-term bulk electrolysis of the Ni-S film exhibited steady current over 100 h with no deactivation, demonstrating its superior stability in neutral water. Further, an initial activation process was observed, which is likely due to the increase in the effective surface area of the Ni-S film under electrocatalytic conditions. A suite of characterization techniques, including X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy, were conducted to probe the composition and structure of the Ni-S film, revealing that its major component is Ni3S2 which was preserved under electrocatalytic conditions.

These beacons, which have a finite spatial extent and exhibit varying degrees of coherence, are typically modeled in existing literature as a Gaussian Schell Model (GSM) due to its analytical tractability. Earlier, we used a full wave computational technique to evaluate the scattered field from a rough impedance surface in vacuum. The results showed some deviations from GSM behavior. The present work uses a simulation approach based on Physical Optics (PO) approximation to study the scattering behavior in presence of atmospheric turbulence. A fully coherent Gaussian beam is propagated through atmospheric phase screens to the rough surface target plane. The PO current is computed on the rough surface and the scattered field right above the surface is determined. The scattered light is propagated through a second set of atmospheric phase screens and thus the double passage through the atmosphere is realized. The rough surface is simulated using statistical parameters derived from profilometer measurements of standard targets. Through multiple realizations of the atmosphere and the rough surface, the statistics of the scattered field is determined. The simulations are done with different strengths of turbulence and different roughness scales of the target. The results are compared with a GSM. An effects model where the rough surface is modeled as a phase screen has also been implemented in order to verify the nature of the speckle returns.

The tailoring of the refractive indices is accomplished by 3D nanostructuring in the sub-wavelength regime (50nm or less) using the method of block-copolymer templating combined with a low cost solution processing approach. Using this method, the index of refraction of the demonstrated metal oxides and their doped variants can be engineered to be as low as 1.25. We will present both numerical simulations and experimental data demonstrating the unrestricted integration of functional metal oxides with a D-shaped optical fiber for applications in chemical and biological sensing. Using the developed refractive index engineering scheme, we introduce a novel hydrogen sensor by integrating a palladium doped TiO2 nanomaterial with D-shaped optical fiber and provide sensor characterization up to 700 degrees C for applications in the energy sector.

TI X-Ray absorption spectroscopy of LiBF4 in propylene carbonate: a model lithium ion battery electrolyte SO PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY CHEMICAL PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID MOLECULAR-DYNAMICS SIMULATIONS; SOLVENT INTERACTION; ETHYLENE CARBONATE; SOLVATION SHEATH; GRAPHITIC ANODE; LI+; LIQUID; LIPF6; CONDUCTIVITY; INTERPHASE AB Since their introduction into the commercial marketplace in 1991, lithium ion batteries have become increasingly ubiquitous in portable technology. Nevertheless, improvements to existing battery technology are necessary to expand their utility for larger-scale applications, such as electric vehicles. Advances may be realized from improvements to the liquid electrolyte; however, current understanding of the liquid structure and properties remains incomplete. X-ray absorption spectroscopy of solutions of LiBF4 in propylene carbonate (PC), interpreted using first-principles electronic structure calculations within the eXcited electron and Core Hole (XCH) approximation, yields new insight into the solvation structure of the Li+ ion in this model electrolyte. By generating linear combinations of the computed spectra of Li+- associating and free PC molecules and comparing to the experimental spectrum, we find a Li+ -solvent interaction number of 4.5. This result suggests that computational models of lithium ion battery electrolytes should move beyond tetrahedral coordination structures.

The simulations are performed at collision energies E-i of 5.0, 13.5, 22.5, 30.00, and 70 eV, and incident angles 0 degrees (normal) and 45 degrees (grazing). Excellent agreement with experiment (J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2000, 122, 9703-9714) is found for both the average fraction and distribution of the collision energy transferred to the ala(2)-H+ internal degrees of freedom. The dominant pathway for this energy transfer is to ala(2)-H+ vibration, but for E-i = 5.0 eV similar to 20% of the energy transfer is to ala(2)-H+ rotation. Energy transfer to ala(2)-H+ rotation decreases with increase in Ei and becomes negligible at high E-i. Three types of collisions are observed in the simulations: i.e. those for which ala(2)-H+ (1) directly scatters off the F-SAM surface; (2) sticks/physisorbs on/in the surface, but desorbs within the 10 ps numerical integration of the simulations; and (3) remains trapped (i.e. soft-landed) on/in the surface when the simulations are terminated. Penetration of the F-SAM by ala(2)-H+ is important for the latter two types of events. The trapped trajectories are expected to have relatively long residence times on the surface, since a previous molecular dynamics simulation (J. Phys. Chem. B, 2014, 118, 5577-5588) shows that thermally accommodated ala(2)-H+ ions have an binding energy with the F-SAM surface of at least similar to 15 kcal mol(-1).

We carried out a combined set of classical molecular dynamics and quantum/classical mechanics calculations to provide quantitative estimates of how dynamic fluctuations of the active site within the protein matrix modulate the electronic structure at the catalytic center. Specifically we focused on the dynamics of the inner and outer coordination spheres of the cysteinate-bound Ni-Fe cluster in the catalytically active Ni-C state. There are correlated movements of the cysteinate ligands and the surrounding hydrogen-bonding network, which modulate the electron affinity at the active site and the proton affinity of a terminal cysteinate. On the basis of these findings, we hypothesize a coupling between protein dynamics and electron and proton transfer reactions critical to dihydrogen production. C1 [Smith, Dayle M.

The BPEa-SBA-15 was subjected to successive heating cycles up to 600 degrees C, with in situ monitoring by DRIFTS. It was found that the toluene moiety coordinates to SBA-15 surface silanol hydroxyl groups via an aromatic-hydroxyl interaction. This interaction is evidenced by a red-shift of the aromatic C-H stretches, as well as a red-shift and broadening of the surface hydroxyl O-H stretches, which are features characteristic of a hydrogen bond. These features remain present during heating until similar to 400 degrees C whereupon the ether linkage of BPEa-SBA-15 is cleaved, accompanied by loss of the toluene moiety. C1 [Kandziolka, M.

Due to the inherent complexity of polymers, parallel studies of oligomer aggregates are required to 'build-up' an understanding of the polymer features. Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) is used to probe variations in vibronic patterns and emission lifetime between individual aggregates and trends in these properties as a function of aggregate size. This technique yields insight into the structure and packing properties of these materials in the aggregated state.

TI Control of pressure-driven components in integrated microfluidic devices using an on-chip electrostatic microvalve SO RSC ADVANCES LA English DT Article ID ACTUATORS; CHANNELS; DESIGN; MICROLENS AB Pressure-driven actuators play a critical role in many microfluidic technologies, but the ancillary equipment needed to operate pneumatic and hydraulic platforms has limited their portability. To address this issue, we created an electrostatic microvalve used to regulate pressures in hydraulic control lines. In turn, these control lines are able to actuate pressure-driven components, e.g., microvalves. The electrostatic microvalve is fabricated exclusively with soft-lithographic techniques, allowing it to be directly integrated in a microfluidic chip. The electrostatic microvalve also contains a passive structural element that balances the pressure on the top and bottom sides of the actuating membrane. This feature enables the microvalve to induce pressure changes up to 20 kPa with electric potentials less than 320 V. When the microvalve is integrated into a microfluidic "pressure amplifier" circuit, the pressure output of the circuit can be tuned with the voltage applied to the microvalve. This integration allows for different types of pressure-driven components to be actuated with variable pressures, and thus eliminates the need for off-chip pressure regulation. In the example reported here, only one actuator is required to adjust the pressure of a single hydraulic line. C1 [Tice, Joshua D.; Desai, Amit V.; Bassett, Thomas A.; Kenis, Paul J.

The proposed applications extend beyond sensing, ultra-strong coatings, biomedical grafts, and energy harvesting, among others. In particular, thin films characterized by a percolated and random distribution of CNTs within a flexible polymeric matrix have been shown to change its electrical properties in response to applied strains. While a plethora of experimental work has been conducted, modeling their electromechanical response remains challenging. Furthermore, their design and optimization require the derivation of accurate electromechanical models that could predict thin film response to applied strains. Thus, the objective of this study is to implement a percolation-based piezoresistive model that could explain the underlying mechanisms for strain sensing. First, a percolation-based model with randomly distributed, straight CNTs was developed in MATLAB. Second, the number of CNTs within a unit area was varied to explore its influence on percolation probability. Then, to understand how the film's electrical properties respond to strain, two different models were implemented. Both models calculated the geometrical response of the film and CNTs due to applied uniaxial strains. The first model considered the fact that the electrical resistance of individual CNTs changed depending solely on its length between junctions. The other model further explored the idea of incorporating strain sensitivity of individual CNTs. The electromechanical responses and the strain sensitivities of the two models were compared by calculating how their bulk resistance varied due to applied tensile and compressive strains. The numerical model results were then qualitatively compared to experimental results reported in the literature.

Implementation of a poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)-based architectural coating is ideal for such a purpose as it is designed to be easily deposited on complex geometries, be mechanically robust, and piezoelectric properties can be induced into the coating. In order to utilize PVDF as a sensor, the polymer must be converted from typical alpha phase to beta phase prior to electrostatic poling. This research focuses on the in situ characterization of mechanical activation of the beta phase in a non-sprayable PVDF thin film using in situ Raman spectroscopy for real time monitoring of PVDF phase content. The PVDF thin films were experimentally characterized as freestanding thin films drawn in a tensile stage, while in-situ Raman spectroscopic measurements were obtained at a wavelength of 532 nm. The Raman spectrum of each phase of PVDF is known to be unique and was correlated with the amount of alpha and beta phases in the characterized film during and after phase transition. The load and strain data from the tensile stage was associated with the in situ Raman spectra of the PVDF, thereby providing a relationship between load, strain, and beta phase content in these PVDF thin films.

It is now possible to synthesize synthetic polymers with exact control over main chain length and monomer sequence, which is leading to a new class of information-rich materials. Peptoids are a particularly promising bio-inspired polymer platform because of their highly efficient synthesis and ready availability of starting materials. Hundreds of chemically diverse side chains can be introduced from simple building blocks, allowing their properties to be finely tuned. The peptoid platform allows the systematic investigation of new materials that are intermediate between proteins and bulk polymers, in both their structure and their properties. Here we review recent examples of peptoid polymers where the polymer properties are the direct result of the specific monomer sequence.

Although polymer properties would be expected to correlate with monomer sequence there are relatively few examples outside of biological polymers to substantiate this assertion. PLGA, one of the most widely used biodegradable polymers, was prepared with repeating sequences, e.g., (LLG). (L = lactic unit; G = glycolic unit). All properties related to hydrolytic degradation including molecular weight, lactic acid release, mass loss, water uptake, morphology, and in vitro release of encapsulated rhodamine-B were shown to depend on sequence. In contrast with random copolymers, sequenced PLGAs were found to exhibit a steady hydrolysis profile without abrupt changes in properties release rates.

We conclude that the latter equations are only consistent in the case of a constant field strength. This formulation, which is based on an action written in Moyal space, provides a coarser level of description than full QED on non-commutative space. The results are compared with those obtained from the different Hamiltonian approaches. Furthermore, a continuum version for Wong's equations and for the motion of a particle in non-commutative space is derived.

Now, with the likely emergence of widespread photovoltaic generation on rooftops, combined with moving cloud shadows, voltage ripple problems could reappear. For example, if 50% of the load on a power distribution feeder in full sun is supplied by distributed PV, voltage ripple will obviously occur as clouds drift over, reducing individual PV outputs to 30% of full-sun levels. The question is "how large is the voltage ripple likely to be?" This paper presents a cloud shadow model, procedure, and simulation tool suitable for answering the question. C1 [Grady, W.

Opposite polarity threshold voltage shifts at room temperature under operating life and reverse bias stress conditions can be explained by means of drain current transient measurements under reverse bias stress conditions. A proposed model to explain the trapping/de-trapping behavior under different stress conditions is described and highlights the critical role of the electric field.

The systematic error is specific for a particular measurement arrangement and, in general, depends on both the measured surface slope value and the position along a surface under test. Here we present an original method to characterize or measure the instrument's systematic error using a bendable X-ray mirror as a test surface. The idea of the method consists of extracting the systematic error from multiple measurements performed at different mirror bendings. An optimal measurement strategy for the optic, under different settings of the benders, and the method of accurate fitting of the measured slope variations with characteristic functions are discussed. We describe the procedure of separation of the systematic error of an actual profiler from surface slope variation inherent to the optic. The obtained systematic error, expressed as a function of the angle of measurement, is useful as a calibration of the instrument arranged to measure an optic with a close curvature and length. We show that accounting for the systematic error enables the optimal setting of bendable optics to the desired ideal shape with accuracy limited only by the experimental noise. Application of the method in the everyday metrology practice increases the accuracy of the measurements and allows measurements of highly curved optics with accuracy similar to those achieved with flat optics.

This instrument arrangement decreases sensitivity to environmental conditions and removes the gravity effect on mirror shape. We provide design details of an affordable base tool, including clean-room environmental arrangements in the new ALS X-ray Optics Laboratory with advanced temperature stabilization and turbulence reduction, that yield measurements in under 8 hours with accuracy better than 30 nanoradians (rms) for super polished, 190 mm flat optics, limited mainly by residual temporal instability of the experimental set-up. The upgraded DLTP has been calibrated for highly curved x-ray optics, allowing same day measurements of a 15 m ROC sphere with accuracy of better than 100 nanoradians (rms). The developed calibration procedure is discussed in detail. We propose this specific 15 m ROC sphere for use as a round-robin calibration test optic.

This flexural stage system is designed to meet challenging mechanical and optical specifications for producing high positioning resolution and stability for angular calibration for autocollimator-based long trace profiler. It could also be used as a precision mirror manipulator for hard x-ray nano-focusing with Montel mirror optics.

Besides the ALS, the XROL serves several DOE labs that lack dedicated on-site optical metrology capabilities, including the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) at SLAC and LBNL's Center for X-Ray Optics (CXRO). The major role of XROL is to proactively support the development and optimal beamline use of x-ray optics. The application of different instruments available in the lab enables separate, often complementary, investigations and addresses of different potential sources of error affecting beamline performance. At the beamline, all the perturbations combine to produce a cumulative effect on the performance of the optic that makes it difficult to optimize the optic's operational performance. Ex situ metrology allows us to address the majority of the problems before the installation of the optic at a beamline, and to provide feedback on design and guidelines for the best usage of optics. We will review the ALS XROL mission, lab design and arrangement, ex situ metrology capabilities and performance, as well as the future plans for instrumentation upgrades. The discussion will be illustrated with the results of a broad spectrum of measurements of x-ray optics and optical systems performed at the XROL.

Of the three existing deposition systems, one will receive an upgrade, while two are being replaced. A design which adds a three-substrate planetary for the APS rotary deposition system is almost complete. The replacement for the APS large deposition system, dubbed the "Modular Deposition System", has been conceptually designed and is in the procurement process. Eight cathodes will sputter horizontally on mirrors up to 1.5 meters in length. This new instrument is designed to interface with ion-milling instruments and various metrology equipment for ion-beam figuring. A third linear machine, called the APS Profile Coating System, has two cathodes and is designed to accept substrates up to 200mm in length. While this machine is primarily intended for fabrication of figured KB mirrors using the profile-coating technique, it has also been used to produce multilayer monochromators for beamline use.

The main disadvantage lies in the strong modulations of the reflected beam profile. This is a major issue for micro-imaging applications, where multilayer-based monochromators are frequently employed to deliver high photon flux density. A subject of particular interest is the origin of the beam profile modifications, namely the irregular stripe patterns, induced by the reflection on a multilayer. For multilayer coatings in general it is known that the substrate and its surface quality significantly influence the performance of mirrors, as the coating reproduces to a certain degree the roughness and shape of the substrate. This proceedings article reviews recent experiments that indicate potential options for producing wave front-preserving multilayer mirrors, as well as new details on the particular mirrors our group has extensively studied in the past.

Some of these methods require high spatial resolution. Planar kinoforms are shown to focus monochromatized undulator radiation in the 50-100 keV range down to 0.2-1.5 mu m beam sizes at 0.25-2 m focal distances. These lenses were fabricated by reactive ion etching of silicon. At such high x-ray energies, these optics can offer substantial transmission and lens aperture. C1 [Shastri, S.

We demonstrate this with the wafer curvature measured in-operando for sputter deposition of WSi2/Si bilayers. The curvature measurements showed that the compressive stress built in the multilayers during the deposition process bent the substrate wafers where these multilayers were coated onto it. Within equal thickness WSi2/Si bilayers, the Si layers contribute more compressive stress than the WSi2 layers at a 4 mTorr Argon environment. Reducing the ratio of Si's thickness in the WSi2/Si bilayer decreased the total stress.

The experiment was performed in ambient air using an x-ray beam after a Si (111) double-crystal monochromator with the diamond crystal set in the Bragg diffraction condition. It was found that the electric current as a function of the Bragg angle exhibits behavior characteristic of secondary yield curves (e.g.,(1)). It is proposed to utilize this effect to monitor the intensity of the Bragg reflected x-ray beam. Such non-invasive monitoring does not rely on the use of stand-alone radiation monitors (e.g., ionization chambers) and is expected to facilitate x-ray optics alignment procedures. As an attempt to improve signal-to-noise ratio by containing the electric field in the optical element an electric response of a high-resistivity silicon crystal was studied in a two-electrode configuration.

This grating is now in use at the Advanced Light Source, in beamline 12.0.1, delivering light for EUV lithography. Direct Write Lithography (DWL) with focused light at lambda = 442 nm was used for the first time to record a VLS grating pattern on a substrate coated with a photoresist. The pattern was transferred to the Si substrate surface using reactive plasma etch. Precision of groove placement was verified by wavefront measurements of a witness grating recorded simultaneously with the VLS pattern. Atomic force microscope measurements confirmed near ideal groove shape and high smoothness of the grating grooves. The grating coated with a Ru coating demonstrated diffraction efficiency of 39.5% in the negative first diffraction order which corresponds to theoretical efficiency at the wavelength of 13.5 nm. This work validates the DWL approach as a promising technique for advanced grating fabrication. C1 [Voronov, D. L.; Warwick, T.; Gullikson, E. M.; Salmassi, F.; Naulleau, P.; Artemiev, N.

TI The AeroCom evaluation and intercomparison of organic aerosol in global models SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID VOLATILITY BASIS-SET; BIOMASS BURNING EMISSIONS; CHEMICAL-TRANSPORT MODEL; GENERAL-CIRCULATION MODEL; CLIMATE MODEL; CARBONACEOUS AEROSOLS; MASS-SPECTROMETER; EARTH SYSTEM; ATMOSPHERIC AEROSOL; PARTICULATE MATTER AB This paper evaluates the current status of global modeling of the organic aerosol (OA) in the troposphere and analyzes the differences between models as well as between models and observations. Thirty-one global chemistry transport models (CTMs) and general circulation models (GCMs) have participated in this intercomparison, in the framework of AeroCom phase II. The simulation of OA varies greatly between models in terms of the magnitude of primary emissions, secondary OA (SOA) formation, the number of OA species used (2 to 62), the complexity of OA parameterizations (gas-particle partitioning, chemical aging, multiphase chemistry, aerosol microphysics), and the OA physical, chemical and optical properties. The diversity of the global OA simulation results has increased since earlier AeroCom experiments, mainly due to the increasing complexity of the SOA parameterization in models, and the implementation of new, highly uncertain, OA sources. Diversity of over one order of magnitude exists in the modeled vertical distribution of OA concentrations that deserves a dedicated future study. Furthermore, although the OA/OC ratio depends on OA sources and atmospheric processing, and is important for model evaluation against OA and OC observations, it is resolved only by a few global models. The median global primary OA (POA) source strength is 56 Tg a(-1) (range 34-144 Tg a(-1)) and the median SOA source strength (natural and anthropogenic) is 19 Tg a(-1) (range 13-121 Tg a(-1)). Among the models that take into account the semi-volatile SOA nature, the median source is calculated to be 51 Tg a(-1) (range 16-121 Tg a(-1)), much larger than the median value of the models that calculate SOA in a more simplistic way (19 Tg a(-1); range 13-20 Tg a(-1), with one model at 37 Tg a(-1)). The median atmospheric burden of OA is 1.4 Tg (24 models in the range of 0.6-2.0 Tg and 4 between 2.0 and 3.8 Tg), with a median OA lifetime of 5.4 days (range 3.8-9.6 days). In models that reported both OA and sulfate burdens, the median value of the OA/sulfate burden ratio is calculated to be 0.77; 13 models calculate a ratio lower than 1, and 9 models higher than 1. For 26 models that reported OA deposition fluxes, the median wet removal is 70 Tg a(-1) (range 28-209 Tg a(-1)), which is on average 85% of the total OA deposition. Fine aerosol organic carbon (OC) and OA observations from continuous monitoring networks and individual field campaigns have been used for model evaluation. At urban locations, the model-observation comparison indicates missing knowledge on anthropogenic OA sources, both strength and seasonality. The combined model-measurements analysis suggests the existence of increased OA levels during summer due to biogenic SOA formation over large areas of the USA that can be of the same order of magnitude as the POA, even at urban locations, and contribute to the measured urban seasonal pattern. Global models are able to simulate the high secondary character of OA observed in the atmosphere as a result of SOA formation and POA aging, although the amount of OA present in the atmosphere remains largely underestimated, with a mean normalized bias (MNB) equal to -0.62 (-0.51) based on the comparison against OC (OA) urban data of all models at the surface, -0.15 (+0.51) when compared with remote measurements, and -0.30 for marine locations with OC data. The mean temporal correlations across all stations are low when compared with OC (OA) measurements: 0.47 (0.52) for urban stations, 0.39 (0.37) for remote stations, and 0.25 for marine stations with OC data. The combination of high (negative) MNB and higher correlation at urban stations when compared with the low MNB and lower correlation at remote sites suggests that knowledge about the processes that govern aerosol processing, transport and removal, on top of their sources, is important at the remote stations. There is no clear change in model skill with increasing model complexity with regard to OC or OA mass concentration. However, the complexity is needed in models in order to distinguish between anthropogenic and natural OA as needed for climate mitigation, and to calculate the impact of OA on climate accurately.

TI Aerosol indirect effect on the grid-scale clouds in the two-way coupled WRF-CMAQ: model description, development, evaluation and regional analysis SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID MESOSCALE METEOROLOGICAL MODEL; RADIATION BUDGET EXPERIMENT; UNBIASED SYMMETRIC METRICS; ATMOSPHERIC BOUNDARY-LAYER; SECONDARY ORGANIC AEROSOLS; SOUTHEASTERN UNITED-STATES; COMMUNITY CLIMATE MODEL; NONLOCAL CLOSURE-MODEL; LAND-SURFACE MODEL; MARINE STRATOCUMULUS AB This study implemented first, second and glaciation aerosol indirect effects (AIE) on resolved clouds in the two-way coupled Weather Research and Forecasting Community Multiscale Air Quality (WRF-CMAQ) modeling system by including parameterizations for both cloud drop and ice number concentrations on the basis of CMAQ-predicted aerosol distributions and WRF meteorological conditions. The performance of the newly developed WRF-CMAQ model, with alternate Community Atmospheric Model (CAM) and Rapid Radiative Transfer Model for GCMs (RRTMG) radiation schemes, was evaluated with observations from the Clouds and the See http://ceres.larc.nasa.gov/. Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) satellite and surface monitoring networks (AQS, IMPROVE, CASTNET, STN, and PRISM) over the continental US (CONUS) (12 km resolution) and eastern Texas (4 km resolution) during August and September of 2006. The results at the Air Quality System (AQS) surface sites show that in August, the normalized mean bias (NMB) values for PM2.5 over the eastern US (EUS) and the western US (WUS) are 5.3% (-0.1%) and 0.4% (-5.2%) for WRF-CMAQ/CAM (WRF-CMAQ/RRTMG), respectively. The evaluation of PM2.5 chemical composition reveals that in August, WRF-CMAQ/CAM (WRF-CMAQ/RRTMG) consistently underestimated the observed SO42- by -23.0% (-27.7%), -12.5% (-18.9%) and -7.9% (-14.8%) over the EUS at the Clean Air Status Trends Network (CASTNET), Interagency Monitoring of Protected Visual Environments (IMPROVE) and Speciated Trends Network (STN) sites, respectively. Both configurations (WRF-CMAQ/CAM, WRF-CMAQ/RRTMG) overestimated the observed mean organic carbon (OC), elemental carbon (EC) and and total carbon (TC) concentrations over the EUS in August at the IMPROVE sites. Both configurations generally underestimated the cloud field (shortwave cloud forcing, SWCF) over the CONUS in August due to the fact that the AIE on the subgrid convective clouds was not considered when the model simulations were run at the 12 km resolution. This is in agreement with the fact that both configurations captured SWCF and longwave cloud forcing (LWCF) very well for the 4 km simulation over eastern Texas, when all clouds were resolved by the finer resolution domain. The simulations of WRF-CMAQ/CAM and WRF-CMAQ/RRTMG show dramatic improvements for SWCF, LWCF, cloud optical depth (COD), cloud fractions and precipitation over the ocean relative to those of WRF default cases in August. The model performance in September is similar to that in August, except for a greater overestimation of PM2.5 due to the overestimations of SO42-, NH4+, NO3-, and TC over the EUS, less underestimation of clouds (SWCF) over the land areas due to the lower SWCF values, and fewer convective clouds in September. This work shows that inclusion of indirect aerosol effect treatments in WRF-CMAQ represents a significant advancement and milestone in air quality modeling and the development of integrated emissions control strategies for air quality management and climate change mitigation.

TI Simulating black carbon and dust and their radiative forcing in seasonal snow: a case study over North China with field campaign measurements SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID LIGHT-ABSORBING IMPURITIES; MINERAL DUST; OPTICAL-PROPERTIES; ORGANIC AEROSOLS; TIBETAN PLATEAU; SPECTRAL ALBEDO; EAST-ASIA; MODEL; CLIMATE; EMISSIONS AB A state-of-the-art regional model, the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model (Skamarock et al., 2008) coupled with a chemistry component (Chem) (Grell et al., 2005), is coupled with the snow, ice, and aerosol radiative (SNICAR) model that includes the most sophisticated representation of snow metamorphism processes available for climate study. The coupled model is used to simulate black carbon (BC) and dust concentrations and their radiative forcing in seasonal snow over North China in January-February of 2010, with extensive field measurements used to evaluate the model performance. In general, the model simulated spatial variability of BC and dust mass concentrations in the top snow layer (hereafter BCS and DSTS, respectively) are consistent with observations. The model generally moderately underestimates BCS in the clean regions but significantly overestimates BCS in some polluted regions. Most model results fall within the uncertainty ranges of observations. The simulated BCS and DSTS are highest with > 5000 ng g(-1) and up to 5 mg g(-1), respectively, over the source regions and reduce to < 50 ng g(-1) and < 1 mu g g(-1), respectively, in the remote regions. BCS and DSTS introduce a similar magnitude of radiative warming (similar to 10 W m(-2)) in the snowpack, which is comparable to the magnitude of surface radiative cooling due to BC and dust in the atmosphere. This study represents an effort in using a regional modeling framework to simulate BC and dust and their direct radiative forcing in snowpack. Although a variety of observational data sets have been used to attribute model biases, some uncertainties in the results remain, which highlights the need for more observations, particularly concurrent measurements of atmospheric and snow aerosols and the deposition fluxes of aerosols, in future campaigns.

Femtomolar detection of 1,2 bis-(4-pyridyl)-ethylene (BPE) is demonstrated with this non-resonant substrate. Comparison of SERS performance with and without the hafnia potential barrier establishes the critical contribution of this dielectric nano spacer to the large sensitivity. This behavior is attributed to the relief of electric charge leakage from metal to the CNT template in the presence of the virtual energy potential barrier. The VA-CNT substrate, when covered by dielectric barriers, can be a great template for a practical and reproducible SERS substrate.

SO COMMENTS ON INORGANIC CHEMISTRY LA English DT Article DE ammonia; mild; pincer; synthesis; turnover ID MOLYBDENUM TRIAMIDOAMINE COMPLEXES; FINDING SADDLE-POINTS; CATALYTIC-REDUCTION; DINITROGEN; AMMONIA; MECHANISM; RELEVANT AB Abiological NH3 synthesis under mild conditions on a PNP [=2,6-bis(di-tert-butyl-phosphinomethyl)pyridine] pincer chelating an Mo(N-2)(3) group has been reported and attributed to a catalytic cycle wherein only the equatorial N-2 is reduced. The present calculations suggest that reduction of axial N-2 ligands was the reason the cycle ended after production of 23 equiv. of NH3. NH3 detachment from axial NNH3 initiates a terminal reaction pathway by leaving an axial nitrido N behind on the Mo. The transinfluence of the strong axial nitride bond causes the second axial N-2 to detach from the Mo, with N-Mo-N-2 remaining as a non-catalytic, pincer-chelated group.

TI Selective deposition of nanocrystalline carbon films on GaN diodes in photocatalytic reactions SO CRYSTENGCOMM LA English DT Article ID DIAMOND-LIKE CARBON; AQUEOUS-SOLUTION; TRIBOLOGICAL PROPERTIES; HYDROGEN-PEROXIDE; AMORPHOUS-CARBON; GROWTH-MECHANISM; DLC FILMS; ELECTRODEPOSITION; DISCHARGE; ANODE AB Crystalline carbon films are promising in many applications. However, traditional carbon film deposition methods are limited by involving ultra-high voltage or complicated equipment. In this study, we demonstrate a simple photocatalytic approach to crystalline carbon fabrication. The crystalline carbon is selectively deposited on the anode side of a GaN diode chip immersed in a mixture of CH3OH and H2O2 with sunlight as the only energy source. Diamond and flat hexagonal crystallites are observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), Raman and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra further confirm that diamond and graphite crystallites were successfully prepared. Detailed theoretical analysis shows that both H2O2 and photon-generated holes play important roles in the crystalline carbon formation. Compared to traditional approaches, the new approach is easy to realize at low cost, has deposition selectivity at the anode side, and requires no strong electric fields. Thus, our approach is novel and promising for preparing crystalline carbon. C1 [Yang, G. D.; Liu, F.; Wang, L.; Wang, W. T.] Univ Hong Kong, Dept Mech Engn, Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Peoples R China.

Current methods for presenting information for virtual reality are focused on either polarization-based modulators such as liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) devices, or miniature LCD or LED displays often using lenses to place the image at infinity. LCoS modulators are an area of active research and development, and reduce the amount of viewing light by 50% due to the use of polarization. Viewable LCD or LED screens may suffer low resolution, cause eye fatigue, and exhibit a "screen door" or pixelation effect due to the low pixel fill factor. Our approach leverages a mature technology based on silicon micro mirrors delivering 720p resolution displays in a small form-factor with high fill factor. Supporting chip sets allow rapid integration of these devices into wearable displays with high-definition resolution and low power consumption, and many of the design methods developed for DMD projector applications can be adapted to display use. Potential applications include night driving with natural depth perception, piloting of UAVs, fusion of multiple sensors for pilots, training, vision diagnostics and consumer gaming. Our design concept is described in which light from the DMD is imaged to infinity and the user's own eye lens forms a real image on the user's retina resulting in a virtual retinal display.

A white exterior surface, so-called "cool roof", applied to decrease cooling loads and to save energy, increases the condensation risk due to lower energy gains at day time. The nightly overcooling phenomena will be intensified and leads to much lower temperature at the exterior surface compared to a standard roof. Observations (Energy Design Update (R) 2006) show that the increased condensation risk may lead to moisture damage. There have been questions raised about the sustainability of using cool roof membranes in Northern US climate zones due to the potential of moisture accumulation below the membrane. Transient hygrothermal simulation using real climate data are state of the art today and can help to study different effects. Variations of several input parameter, such as short-wave absorptivity of the solar radiation, ventilation underneath the membrane with interior or exterior air, specific climate data, etc., show their influences on the moisture accumulation underneath the membrane of a typical mechanically attached roof systems for commercial buildings. Consequently, the most significant input parameter can be determined and used as additional criteria for a better design. C1 [Pallin, Simon] Chalmers, Chalmers, Sweden.

Both the quasi-particle/hole couplings and quasi-rotational degrees of freedom are implied to play roles in these Cd isotopes. Evidence for triaxial shapes and octupole components in the Cd isotopes is presented. These Cd isotopes may have triaxial deformations. High-spin level schemes of Rh-114,Rh-115 have been established for the first time. The existence of a relatively large signature splitting and an yrare band shows typical features of a triaxially deformed nucleus. Possible excited deformed rotational bands are observed, for the first time, in Ge-82. From the multipole mixing ratio measurement, the ground state configurations of Ru-109,Ru-111, as well as excited states in Mo-103,Mo-107 and Ru-111 were determined. C1 [Ramayya, A. V.; Hamilton, J.

Although, much effort has been invested in unraveling the mysteries of this effect, its physical origin is still not conclusively understood. Here, a completely model-independent experimental approach to investigate the existence of this enhancement is presented. The experiment was designed to study statistical feeding from the quasi-continuum (below the neutron separation energy) to individual low-lying discrete levels in Mo-95 produced in the (d, p) reaction. A key aspect to successfully study gamma decay from the region of high-level density is the detection and extraction of correlated particle-gamma-gamma events which was accomplished using an array of Clover HPGe detectors and large area annular silicon detectors. The entrance channel excitation energy into the residual nucleus produced in the reaction was inferred from the detected proton energies in the silicon detectors. Gating on gamma-transitions originating from low-lying discrete levels specifies the state fed by statistical gamma-rays. Any particle-gamma-gamma event in combination with specific energy sum requirements ensures a clean and unambiguous determination of the initial and final state of the observed gamma rays. With these requirements the statistical feeding to individual discrete levels is extracted on an event-by-event basis. The results are presented and compared to Mo-95 photon strength function data measured at the University of Oslo. C1 [Wiedeking, M.] IThemba LABS, POB 722, ZA-7129 Somerset West, South Africa.

Given the breadth and diversity of non-aqueous electrolytes, combinatorial screening using automated platforms offers an efficient means of mapping out the design space. Employing an automated electrolyte synthesis and characterization system, we studied electrolytes consisting of DBBB, various alkali ion salts, and carbonate solvents, with an overarching goal of improving DBBB solubility and ionic conductivity. Via this high-throughput approach, mixtures of linear and cyclic carbonates were found to improve solubility and conductivity including certain mixtures that demonstrated both improved DBBB solubility (>0.5 M) and electrolyte conductivity (>5 mS/cm), over the base case scenario. In general, the addition of LiTFSI as a salt (or co-salt) improved DBBB solubility in electrolytes and the ionic conductivity of solutions. Furthermore, the electrochemical behavior of DBBB was systematically investigated over a range of concentrations (0.005 M to 0.3 M) in an optimized electrolyte using both macroelectrode and ultramicroelectrode techniques. Determining the trends of key electrochemical parameters may help bridge the gap between low concentration screening experiments and higher concentration energy storage applications.

TI Characterization of Sulfonated Diels-Alder Poly(phenylene) Membranes for Electrolyte Separators in Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries SO JOURNAL OF THE ELECTROCHEMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID NAFION PERFLUOROSULFONIC MEMBRANES; PROTON-EXCHANGE MEMBRANES; SULFURIC-ACID; TRANSPORT; WATER; CONDUCTIVITY; POLYMERS; PERFORMANCE; IONOMERS; ENERGY AB Sulfonated Diels-Alder poly(phenylene) (SDAPP) membranes were synthesized and characterized as potential electrolyte separators for vanadium redox flow batteries. The SDAPP membranes studied had ion exchange capacities of 1.4, 1.8 and 2.3 meq/g. Transmission electron microscopy imaging shows that the ionic domains in SDAPP are roughly 0.5 nm in dimension, while Nafion has a hydrophilic phase width of around 5 nm. The sulfuric acid uptake by SDAPP was higher than that for Nafion, but the materials had similar water uptake from solutions of various sulfuric acid concentrations. In equilibration with sulfuric acid concentrations ranging from 0-17.4 mol . kg(-1), SDAPP with a IEC of 2.3 meq/g had the highest conductivity, ranging from 0.21 to 0.05 S . cm(-1), while SDAPP with a IEC of 1.8 had conductivity close to Nafion 117, ranging from 0.11 to 0.02 S . cm(-1). With varying sulfuric acid concentration and temperature, vanadium permeability in SDAPP is positively correlated to the membrane's IEC. The vanadium permeability of SDAPP 2.3 is similar to that of Nafion, but permeability values for SDAPP 1.8 and SDAPP 1.4 are substantially lower. The vanadium permeation decreases with increasing electrolyte sulfuric acid concentration. Vanadium diffusion activation energy is about 20 kJ . mol(-1) in both SDAPP and Nafion.

Recent research in solid electrolytes, however, has mainly focused on improving ionic conductivity while neglecting compatibility with energy dense anodes such as lithium metal. Herein, we report a new crystalline solid electrolyte devised to be inexpensive, highly conductive, and compatible with lithium metal. This study presents and characterizes an analog to Li10GeP2S12 using the isovalent ion of silicon to displace germanium as a cost effective constituent. The crystal Li10SiP2S12 displays a conductivity of 2.3 x 10(-3) S cm(-1), the highest reported conductivity for an unsintered silicon-based solid electrolyte. Impedance spectroscopy is used to probe interactions between the new superionic conductor and lithium metal revealing a more favorable decomposition than previous metal containing electrolytes. Due to the enhanced compatibility of Li10SiP2S12 with lithium metal, we present one of the longest cycling bulk solid-state lithium metal batteries to date. Discerning the nature of chemical decomposition at the electrolyte-lithium interface is essential to the design and synthesis of future solid electrolytes. (C) 2014 The Electrochemical Society.

The electronic conductivity of P3HT (and other electronically conducting polymers) is potential-dependent. The main advance in this work is to quantify the effect of this potential dependency on battery performance. The discharge characteristics of a battery consisting of a cathode with LiFePO4 particles in a poly(3-hexylthiophene)-b-poly(ethylene oxide) (P3HT-PEO) copolymer matrix that conveys electrons and ions to the active particles, a polystyrene-b-poly(ethylene oxide) (PS-PEO) copolymer electrolyte layer, and a lithium metal anode were examined by experiments and macro-homogeneous modeling; lithium bis (trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide was the salt in the cathode and the electrolyte. By comparing the model predictions with experiments, we conclude that the electronic conductivity of the polymer in the cathode is significantly lower than that obtained from measurements in the absence of active particles. The potential-dependent conductivity is manifested in the shape of the discharge curve wherein the slope increases continuously with capacity. The model provides insight into the underpinnings of the observed rate-dependency of electrode capacity, thereby guiding the design of the next generation of electrodes. (C) The Author(s) 2014.

Membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) were prepared by using Nafion 212 membrane and commercially available carbon supported Pt electro-catalysts. The cathode structures were controlled by the use of long side chain (LSC) and short side chain (SSC) perfluorosulfonic acids (PFSAs) as well as three dispersing solvents for the electrode fabrication (a water-isopropanol mixture, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, or glycerol). The membrane durability was evaluated by the H-2 crossover current density after a 200-hour open circuit voltage accelerated stress test. The MEA with a glycerol-processed SSC PFSA-bonded cathode exhibited a 200-fold less H-2 crossover current density than the MEA with a water-isopropanol-processed LSC PFSA-bonded cathodes. The analyzes by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and microscopy suggest that the structural uniformity of cathodes play the most significant role in the chemical stability of the Nafion membranes. This study emphasizes the importance of cathode structures on the durability of Nafion membranes. (C) The Author(s) 2014. Published by ECS.

After 1000 cycles, lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2) cathode material was extracted from the most severely aged cell. Nanoindentation was performed on individual LiCoO2 particles. Fractures in these particles exhibited anisotropic behavior, which was confirmed by electron microscopy and diffriction examination indicating both intra- and inter-granular fracture occurred along {001} planes. Computation of the charge density structure for LiCoO2 indicated that the Li-O bonds along the {001} planes require the lowest energy for cleavage, supporting the experimental findings. Atom probe tomography (APT) analysis indicated the nanoscale composition distributions within specimens from both fresh and cycled material. Among the cycled particles, nanoscale inhomogeneities in the Li content were observed. For APT specimens containing grain boundaries, accumulation of Li (up to 80 at%) on one side of the boundary was observed. Correlation of the electrochemical, mechanical, and compositional results indicates a combination of these mechanical and chemical mechanisms contributed to the measured capacity fade.

TI A Framework for Three-Dimensional Mesoscale Modeling of Anisotropic Swelling and Mechanical Deformation in Lithium-Ion Electrodes SO JOURNAL OF THE ELECTROCHEMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID STRESS EVOLUTION; BATTERY CATHODE; FLUID INTERFACE; CAPACITY FADE; MICROSTRUCTURE; PARTICLES; LICOO2; RECONSTRUCTION; LIXCOO2; INTERCALATION AB Lithium-ion battery electrodes rely on a percolated network of solid particles and binder that must maintain a high electronic conductivity in order to function. Coupled mechanical and electrochemical simulations may be able to elucidate the mechanisms for capacity fade. We present a framework for coupled simulations of electrode mechanics that includes swelling, deformation, and stress generation driven by lithium intercalation. These simulations are performed at the mesoscale, which requires 3D reconstruction of the electrode microstructure from experimental imaging or particle site distributions. We present a novel approach for utilizing these complex reconstructions within a finite element code. A mechanical model that involves anisotropic swelling in response to lithium intercalation drives the deformation. Stresses arise from small-scale particle features and lithium concentration gradients. However, we demonstrate, for the first time, that the largest stresses arise from particle-to-particle contacts, making it important to accurately represent the electrode microstructure on the multi-particle scale. Including anisotropy in the swelling mechanics adds considerably more complexity to the stresses and can significantly enhance peak particle stresses. Shear forces arise at contacts due to the misorientation of the lattice structure. These simulations will be used to study mechanical degradation of the electrode structure through charge/discharge cycles. (C) The Author(s) 2014. Published by ECS.

In this work, GDL properties such as breakthrough pressure, droplet adhesion force, and detachment velocity are measured experimentally for commonly used GDLs under a host of test conditions. Specifically, the effects of GDL hydrophobic (PTFE) content, thickness, and water-injection area and rate were studied to identify trends that may be beneficial to the design of liquid-water management strategies and next-generation GDL materials. The results conclude that liquid water moving transversely through or forming at the surface of GDL may be affected by internal capillary structure. Adhesion-force measurements using a bottom-injection method were found to be sensitive to PTFE loading, GDL thickness, and injection area/rate, the latter of which is critical for defining the control-volume limits for modeling and analysis. It was observed that higher PTFE loadings, increased thickness, and smaller injection areas led to elevated breakthrough pressure; meaning there was a greater resistance to forming droplets. The data are used to predict the onset of droplet instability via a simple force-balance model with general trend agreement. (C) The Author(s) 2014. Published by ECS.

We study the structural evolution of Sn nanoparticles during electrochemical lithiation-delithiation cycling by in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The beta-Sn nanoparticles in the size range of 79-526 nm are lithiated to the crystal Li22Sn5 phase via a two-step mechanism, and no cracking or fracture, is observed, distinct from the lithiation-induced fracture in micron-sized Sn particles. Lithiation can induce the aggregation of small Sn nanoparticles with diameter in tens of nanometers, while delithiation can lead to the pulverization of large Sn nanoparticles. Similarly, the aggregation and pulverization of Sit nanoparticles are also observed daring sodiation and desodiation, respectively. The delithiation/desodiation induced pulverization of Sn nanoparticles is attributed to the high dealloying rate that results in cracks and voids in dealloyed Sn anodes. Based on our in situ TEM results, a size-dependent ' pulverization mechanism of Sn particles is proposed. Our work advances the mechanistic understanding of the pulverization and degradation mechanisms of Sn particle-based electrodes in Li-ion batteries. (C) 2014 The Electrochemical Society.

Over the last several decades significant progress has been made in increasing their performance and durability, of which continuum-level modeling of the transport processes has played an integral part. In this review, we examine the state-of-the-art modeling approaches, with a goal of elucidating the knowledge gaps and needs going forward in the field. In particular, the focus is on multiphase flow, especially in terms of understanding interactions at interfaces, and catalyst layers with a focus on the impacts of ionomer thin-films and multiscale phenomena. Overall, we highlight where there is consensus in terms of modeling approaches as well as opportunities for further improvement and clarification, including identification of several critical areas for future research.

We present results of focusing properties the compound silicon linear Zone Plate (ZP) for first and second orders. The compound silicon linear ZP is fabricated by an electron beam lithography and lift-off technology. ZPs structures have been etched by ion-plasma up to 6 mu m deep. A linear ZP of the first and second orders fabricated for x-ray radiation 10kev energy, the focal distance is 57sm. The entire aperture is 357.64 mu m, the width of the outermost zones of the first and second orders are 595nm, and the number of the first and second order zones are: N(1) + N(2) = 251. The experiment was performed at the beam line BL29XU Spring-8 of the Japan Synchrotron Radiation Facility. The experimentally and theoretically investigations were done for x-ray energy at the 10keV and 12.4keV (0.1nm wavelength). The radial distribution of intensity is determined as a convolution of the zone plate transmission function and the Kirchhoff propagator in par-axial approximation. The algorithm is based on the FFT procedure and studied by means of computer programming simulation. C1 [Kuyumchyan, A. V.] Amer NanoSci & AME Inc, Los Angeles, CA 91204 USA. [Suvorov, A.

The infrared (IR) transmission microscopy shows that Te inclusions can migrate towards the high-temperature end and leave some smaller dark spots behind. These dark spots may be voids within the original inclusions left behind after the migration of the Terich solid. Such thermo-migration depends on the specific locations of the Te inclusions within the CdZnTe matrix. Grain boundaries could have a strong trapping effect on the migration of Te inclusions, probablythrough the high density of dislocation networks in the grain- boundary region. In addition, we also observed new Te inclusions in the grain-boundary regions, which were formed during the annealing process. This phenomenon is attributed to the fast diffusion and gettering behavior of excess Te atoms, or possibly Cd vacancies, along the grain boundaries. (C) 2014 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

The differential thermal analysis method was used for investigation of the melting and crystallization kinetic parameters of Cd1-x-yMnxZnyTe alloys (x = 0.05-0.25, y = 0.05, 0.10). Two different ways of sample thermal processing allow us to study the supercooling-superheating dependencies and the volume fraction of quasi-solid phase (clusters) depending on the melt holding temperature and time. "Negative" supercooling of Cd1-x-yMnxZnyTe melts was observed when superheating of the melts don't exceed 20 K after their melting start. The su-percooling values of Cd1-x-yMnxZnyTe melts decreased with increasing x (i.e. Mn content). The change of the melts holding time from 10 to 60 min has no effect on the supercooling values. Volume fraction of Cd1-x-yMnxZnyTe alloys clusters existing in the melt decreased with the holding temperature increasing. Full homogenization occurred only after of Cd0.95-xMnxZn0.05Te melts superheating higher than 1385 K, below this temperature melts exist in semiliquid state. The volume fraction of the quasi-solid phase is smaller if the melt was heated at 10 K/min than after heating at 5 K/min to the same temperature. Melting temperature of Cd0.95-xMnxZn0.05 Te alloys decreased with Mn content increasing. (C) 2014 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

In the first phase of our project, we exposed silicon single crystal to the LCLS beam, and quantitatively studied the x-ray induced damage as a function of x-ray fluence. The damage we observed is extensive at fluences typical of pump-and-probe experiments. The conclusions drawn from our data allowed us to design and manufacture a silicon mirror that can limit the local damage, and reflect the incident beam before its single crystal structure is destroyed. In the second phase of this project we tested this prototype back-reflector at the LCLS. Preliminary results suggest that the new mirror geometry yields reproducible Bragg reflectivity at high x-ray fluences, promising a path forward for silicon single crystals as x-ray back-reflectors.

This SDU will enable time-resolved x-ray pump / x-ray probe experiments [4,5] as well as sequential diffractive imaging [6] on a femtosecond to picosecond time scale. Further, direct measurements of the temporal coherence properties will be possible by making use of a linear autocorrelation [7,8]. The set-up is based on geometric wavefront beam splitting, which has successfully been implemented at an autocorrelator at FLASH [9]. The x-ray FEL pulses are split by a sharp edge of a silicon mirror coated with multilayers. Both partial beams will then pass variable delay lines. For different photon energies the angle of incidence onto the multilayer mirrors will be adjusted in order to match the Bragg condition. For a photon energy of h nu = 20 keV a grazing angle of theta = 0.57 degrees has to be set, which results in a footprint of the beam (6 sigma) on the mirror of l = 98 mm. At this photon energy the reflectance of a Mo/B4C multi layer coating with a multilayer period of d = 3.2 nm and N = 200 layers amounts to R = 0.92. In order to enhance the maximum transmission for photon energies of h nu = 8 keV and below, a Ni/B4C multilayer coating can be applied beside the Mo/B4C coating for this spectral region. Because of the different incidence angles, the path lengths of the beams will differ as a function of wavelength. Hence, maximum delays between +/-2.5 ps at h nu = 20 keV and up to +/- 23 ps at h nu = 5 keV will be possible.

Existing approaches use white-box modeling and require intimate knowledge of the internal layout of the drive, which can take months to extract. Automatically learning this behavior is a much more desirable approach, requiring less expert knowledge, fewer assumptions, and less time. While previous research has created black-box models of hard disk drive performance, none have shown low per-request errors. A barrier to machine learning of access times has been the existence of periodic behavior with high, unknown frequencies. We identify these high frequencies with Fourier analysis and include them explicitly as input to the model. In this paper we focus on the simulation of access times for random read workloads within a single zone. We are able to automatically generate and tune request-level access time models with mean absolute error less than 0 : 1 5 ms. To our knowledge this is the first time such a fidelity has been achieved with modern disk drives using machine learning. We are confident that our approach forms the core for automatic generation of access time models that include other workloads and span across entire disk drives, but more work remains.

Due to the unique capability and capacity requirements in large scale HPC (High Performance Computing) storage environment, a hybrid configuration (SSD and lIDD) may represent one of the most available and balanced solutions considering the cost and performance. Under this setting, effective data placement as well as movement with controlled overhead become a pressing challenge. In this paper, we propose an integrated object placement and movement framework and adaptive learning algorithms to address these issues. Specifically, we present a method that shuffle data objects across storage tiers to optimize the data access performance. The method also integrates an adaptive learning algorithm where realtime classification is employed to predict the popularity of data object accesses, so that they can be placed on, or migrate between SSD or HDD drives in the most efficient manner. We discuss preliminary results based on this approach using a simulator we developed to show that the proposed methods can dynamically adapt storage placements and access pattern as workloads evolve to achieve the best system level performance such as throughput.

To take full advantage of these capabilities, the scope of optical circuit networks can be increased in both the vertical and horizontal directions. In the vertical direction, some of the existing Internet applications, transport-layer protocols, and application-programming interfaces need to be redesigned and new ones invented to leverage the high-bandwidth, low-latency capabilities of optical circuit networks. In the horizontal direction, inter-domain control and management-protocols are required to create a global-scale interconnection of optical circuit-switched networks.

The anticipated heat loads in the solenoid is presented as well as the cooling scheme design. A thermal model using ANSYS to simulate the temperature gradient is presented. The thermal analysis also makes provisions for including the heat load generated in the coils and structures by the secondary radiation simulated using the MARS 15 code.

This quadrupole was first tested in a liquid helium bath environment at Fermilab, where its quench and magnetic properties were characterized. Because the device is to be cooled by conduction when installed in cryomodules, a separate test with a conduction-cooled configuration was planned at KEK and Fermilab. The magnet was converted to a conduction- cooled configuration by adding conduction-cooling passages made of high-purity aluminum. Efforts to convert and refabricate the magnet into a cryostat equipped with a double-stage pulse-tube-type cryocooler began in 2011, and a thermal performance test, including a magnet excitation test of up to 30 A, was conducted at KEK. In this test, the magnet with the conduction- cooled configuration was successfully cooled to 4 K within 190 h, with an acceptable heat load of less than 1 W at 4 K. It was also confirmed that the conduction- cooled splittable superconducting quadrupole magnet was practical for use in ILC- type cryomodules.

ID CONCEPTUAL DESIGN AB The Muon-to-Electron conversion experiment (Mu2e), under development at Fermilab, seeks to detect direct muon to electron conversion to provide evidence for a process violating muon and electron lepton number conservation that cannot be explained by the Standard Model of particle physics. The Mu2e magnet system consists of three large superconducting solenoids. In case of a quench, the stored magnetic energy is extracted to an external dump circuit. However, because of the fast current decay, a significant fraction of the energy dissipates inside of the cryostat in the coil support shells made of structural aluminum, and in the radiation shield. A 3D finite-element model of the complete coldmass was created in order to simulate the quench development and understand the role of the quench-back. The simulation results are reported at the normal and non- standard operating conditions.

AB Accelerator cryomodules reduce the radiative thermal load to the 1.8 - 4.5 K components by enclosing them within low- emissivity shields cooled to 70- 100 K. These heat shields are not continuous and have many penetrations, or holes, to allow for the connection of support structures and the many subsystems running from room temperature. The penetrations have thermal baffles to reduce, or eliminate if possible, the direct line- of- sight between room temperature and the lower temperature components but leave many, low emissivity, paths with only a single reflection required for the room temperature photons to strike the 1.8 - 4.5 K surfaces. To reduce this we are coating our baffles such that the surfaces which face lower temperatures have a low- emissivity while the surfaces which the photons may reflect from but do not have line- of- sight to lower temperature surfaces have a high- absorption. We measure emissivities of different coatings from the heat balance between absorption, from background radiation and the heater attached on the sample, and emission powers. In this paper, design details of our experiment and measurement results will be presented. C1 [Kim, S. H.; Conway, Z. A.; Ostroumov, P. N.] Argonne Natl Lab, 9700 S Cass Ave, Argonne, IL 60439 USA.

The coldbox was originally designed as a liquid helium refrigerator with capacity of similar to 1200 W at nominal 4-K. The process utilized LN2 precooling, in-series operation of two centrifugal gas bearing turboexpanders and final Joule-Thomson (J-T) expansion. At FNAL, the coldbox will be utilized as a liquefier to support 2-K operations. A process model was developed to aid in the upgrade decisions and used to determine the nominal capacity of the liquefier. Capacity upgrades are achieved by safely utilizing the internal LN2 precooler, the addition of a 3-inch reciprocating wet expansion engine and increasing the overall process pressure by recertifying two limiting pressure vessels to a higher MAWP.

Each spoke cavity will be tested individually in a cryostat that replicates conditions in the longer multi-cavity cryomodules. This test cryostat has all the features of the longer cryomodules - magnetic shielding, 80 K thermal shield, multi-layer insulation, support post, and input coupler [1]. Fermilab is in the processing of retrofitting the existing test cryostat which was originally designed for operation at 4.5 K. This paper describes the design of the conversion of the current test cryostat, flexible transfer lines, helium relief system and cryogenics interface.

The cryostats are capable of sustained operation below 1.8 K and currently support tests of prototype superconducting rf (srf) cavities for the APS Upgrade's Short Pulse X-ray (SPX) initiative. To save cost, two existing test vessels were reconditioned: one "bucket dewar" supporting bare cavity tests and one shielded vacuum vessel with an integral LHe reservoir for jacketed/dressed cavity tests. A new feedbox containing a heat exchanger and associated valves was also designed and fabricated to support either cryostat. The resulting modular design permits tests on a wide variety of srf cavities in various states of completion, minimizing cost and maximizing use of the hardware. Together with a dedicated vacuum pump, control system, and helium supply via storage dewar or cryoplant, these cryostats are vital to the srf cavity development effort within the APS Upgrade.

S. ITER contribution to the vacuum systems for the ITER fusion project, a cryogenic viscous compressor (CVC) is being designed and fabricated to cryopump hydrogenic gases in the torus and neutral beam exhaust streams and to regenerate the collected gases to controlled pressures such that they can be mechanically pumped with controlled flows to the tritium reprocessing facility. One critical element of the CVC design that required additional investigation was the determination of flow rates of the low pressure (up to 1000 Pa) exhaust stream that would allow for complete pumping of hydrogenic gases while permitting trace levels of helium to pass through the CVC to be pumped by conventional vacuum pumps. A sub-scale prototype test facility was utilized to determine the effectiveness of a static mixer pump tube concept, which consisted of a series of rotated twisted elements brazed into a 2-mm thick, 5-cm diameter stainless steel tube. Cold helium gas flow provided by a dewar and helium transfer line was used to cool the exterior of the static mixer pump tube. Deuterium gas was mixed with helium gas through flow controllers at different concentrations while the composition of the exhaust gas was monitored with a Penning gauge and optical spectrometer to determine the effectiveness of the static mixer. It was found that with tube wall temperatures between 6 K and 9 K, the deuterium gas was completely cryopumped and only helium passed through the tube. These results have been used to design the cooling geometry and the static mixer pump tubes in the full-scale CVC prototype C1 [Duckworth, Robert C.; Baylor, Larry R.; Meitner, Steven J.; Combs, Stephen K.; Ha, Tam; Morrow, Michael; Biewer, T.] Oak Ridge Natl Lab, Fus & Mat Nucl Syst Div, Oak Ridge, TN 37831 USA.

Over the last several years at Fermilab a staged approach to developing the technology for large detectors has been developed. The TPC detectors require ultra-pure liquid argon with respect to electronegative contaminants such as oxygen and water. The tolerable electronegative contamination level may be as pure as 60 parts per trillion of oxygen. Three liquid argon cryostats operated at Fermilab have achieved the extreme purity required by TPCs. These three cryostats used evacuation to remove atmospheric contaminants as the first purification step prior to filling with liquid argon. Future physics experiments may require very large detectors with tens of kilotonnes of liquid argon mass. The capability to evacuate such large cryostats adds significant cost to the cryostat itself in addition to the cost of a large scale vacuum pumping system. This paper describes a 30 ton liquid argon cryostat at Fermilab which uses purging to remove atmospheric contaminants instead of evacuation as the first purification step. This cryostat has achieved electronegative contamination levels better than 60 parts per trillion of oxygen equivalent. The results of this liquid argon purity demonstration will strongly influence the design of future TPC cryostats.

This OPP consists of a process cylinder (PC), gas generator, and solenoid operated valves (SOVs). It is a positive displacement pump that provided intermittent liquid nitrogen (LN2) flow to an array of charge couple devices (CCDs) for the prototype Dark Energy Camera (DECam). In theory, a heater submerged in liquid would generate the drive gas in a closed loop cooling system. The drive gas would be injected into the PC to displace that liquid volume. However, due to limitations of the prototype closed loop nitrogen system (CCD cooling system) for DECam, a quasi-closed-loop nitrogen system was created. During the test of the OPP, the CCD array was cooled to its designed set point temperature of 173K. It was maintained at that temperature via electrical heaters. The performance of the OPP was captured in pressure, temperature, and flow rate in the CCD LN2 cooling system at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL).

Within the scope of this project, a 112 MHz, 2MeV Superconducting Radio Frequency (SRF) electron gun and a 704 MHz 20MeV 5-cell SRF cavity will be installed at IP2 in the RHIC ring. The superconducting RF electron gun will be cooled in a liquid helium bath at 4.4 K. The 704 MHz 5-cell SRF cavity will be cooled in a super-fluid helium bath at 2.0 K. This paper discusses the cryogenic systems designed for both cavities. For the 112 MHz cavity cryogenic system, a condenser/boiler heat exchanger is used to isolate the cavity helium bath from pressure pulses and microphonics noise sources. For the 704 MHz 5-cell SRF cavity, a heat exchanger is also used to isolate the SRF cavity helium bath from noise sources in the sub-atmospheric pumping system operating at room temperature. Detailed designs, thermal analyses and discussions for both systems will be presented in this paper.

The imager cooling system is a LN2 two-phase closed loop cryogenic cooling system. The cryogenic circulation processing is located off the telescope. Liquid nitrogen vacuum jacketed transfer lines are run up the outside of the telescope truss tubes to the imager inside the prime focus cage. The design of the cooling system along with commissioning experiences and initial cooling system performance is described. The LN2 cooling system with the DES imager was initially operated at Fermilab for testing, then shipped and tested in the Blanco Coude room. Now the imager is operating inside the prime focus cage. It is shown that the cooling performance sufficiently cools the imager in a closed loop mode, which can operate for extended time periods without maintenance or LN2 fills.

The solid deuterium fueling and ELM triggering pellets can be formed by extrusions created by helium cooled, twin-screw extruder based injection system that freezes deuterium in the screw section. A solenoid actuated cutter mechanism is activated to cut the pellets from the extrusion, inserting them into the barrel, and then fired by the pneumatic valve pulse of high pressure gas. Fuel pellets are injected at a rate up to 10 Hz, and ELM triggering pellets are injected at rates up to 20 Hz. The radiative cooling and impurity transport study pellets are produced by introducing impurity gas into a helium cooled section of a pipe gun where it deposits in-situ. A pneumatic valve is opened and propellant gas is released downstream where it encounters a passive punch which initially accelerates the pellet before the gas flow around the finishes the pellet acceleration. This paper discusses the various cryogenic pellet production techniques based on the twin-screw extruder, pipe gun, and pellet punch designs. C1 [Meitner, S. J.; Baylor, L. R.; Combs, S.

The magnet cryostat outside diameter is similar to 1.4 meters and the cryostat length is similar to 2.73 meters. The magnet warm bore is 0.4 meters. The magnet was designed to be cooled using three 1.5 W two-stage coolers. In both magnets, three coolers could not keep the cryostat filled with liquid helium. The temperatures of the shield and the tops of the HTS leads were too warm. A 140 W single stage cooler was added to magnet 2 to cool the HTS leads, the shield and the cold mass support intercepts. When the magnet 2 was retested in 2010, the net cooling at 4.2 K was -1.5 W with first-stage temperatures of the four coolers at similar to 42 K. The tops of the HTS leads were <50 K, but the shield and cold mass support intercepts remained too warm. The solenoid cryostat and shield were modified during 2011 and 2012 to reduce the 4.2 K heat load and increase the cooling. This magnet was tested in 2012, with five 1.5 W two-stage coolers and the single stage cooler. The changes made in the magnet are described in this report. As a result of the cryostat and shield changes, and adding 3.0 W of cooling at 4.2 K, the net 4.2 K cooling changed from -1.6 W to +5.0 W. About half of the change in net cooling to this magnet was due changes that reduced the shield temperature. This report demonstrates the importance of running the shield cold (similar to 40 K) and reducing the heat loads from all sources on both the shield and the cold mass. C1 [Green, M.

The Long Baseline Neutrino Experiment (LBNE) has designed and fabricated a membrane cryostat prototype in collaboration with IHI Corporation (IHI). Original goals of the prototype are: to demonstrate the membrane cryostat technology in terms of thermal performance, feasibility for liquid argon, and leak tightness; to demonstrate that we can remove all the impurities from the vessel and achieve the purity requirements in a membrane cryostat without evacuation and using only a controlled gaseous argon purge; to demonstrate that we can achieve and maintain the purity requirements of the liquid argon during filling, purification, and maintenance mode using mole sieve and copper filters from the Liquid Argon Purity Demonstrator (LAPD) R&D project. The purity requirements of a large liquid argon detector such as LBNE are contaminants below 200 parts per trillion oxygen equivalent. This paper gives the requirements, design, construction, and performance of the LBNE membrane cryostat prototype, with experience and results important to the development of the LBNE detector.

The CMTF have seven 300 KW screw compressors, two liquid helium refrigerators, and two Cryomodule Test Stands (CMTS). CMTS1 is designed for 1.3 GHz cryomodule operating in a pulsed mode (PM) and CMTS2 is for cryomodule operating in Half-Wave (HW) and Continuous Wave (CW) mode. Based on the design requirement, each subsystem has to be far away from each other and be placed in distant locations. Therefore choosing Siemens Process Control System 7-400, DL205 PLC, Synoptic and Fermilab ACNET are the ideal choices for CMTF cryogenic distribution real-time remote control system. This paper presents a method which has been successfully used by many Fermilab distribution cryogenic real-time remote control systems.

To better understand this failure mode and its associated risks an experiment is designed to test the longitudinal effects of SLV within the beam tube of a scaled SRF cryomodule that has considerable length relative to beam tube cross section. The scaled cryomodule consists of six individual SRF cavities each roughly 350 mm long, initially cooled to 2 K by a superfluid helium bath and a beam tube pumped to vacuum. A fast-acting solenoid valve is used to simulate SLV on the beam tube, from which point it takes over 3 s for the beam tube pressure to equalize with atmosphere, and 30 s for the helium space to reach the relief pressure of 4 bara. A SLV longitudinal effect in the beam tube is evident in both pressure and temperature data, but interestingly the temperatures responds more quickly to SLV than do the pressures. It takes 500 ms (roughly 100 ms per cavity) for the far end of the 2 m long beam tube to respond to a pressure increase compared to 300 ms for temperature (approximately 50 ms per cavity). The paper expands upon these and other results to better understand the longitudinal effect for SRF cryomodules due to SLV.

Our estimator is easily computed by successive application of existing base smoothers (without the need of selecting an optimal smoothing parameter), such as thin-plate spline or kernel smoothers. The resulting smoother has better out of sample predictive capabilities than the underlying base smoother, or competing structurally constrained models (MARS, GAM) for small dimension (3 <= d <= 7) and moderate sample size n <= 1000. Moreover our estimator is still useful when d > 10 and to our knowledge, no other adaptive fully nonparametric regression estimator is available without constrained assumption such as additivity for example. On a real example, the Boston Housing Data, our method reduces the out of sample prediction error by 20%. An R package ibr, available at CRAN, implements the proposed multivariate nonparametric method in R. C1 [Cornillon, Pierre-Andre] Univ Rennes 2, IRMAR, UMR 6625, F-35043 Rennes, France.

Here, we describe a microfluidic-based method which enables the detection of microRNAs or miRNAs in single intact cells by flow-FISH using locked nucleic acid (LNA)-containing probes. Our method can be applied to all RNA species including mRNA and small noncoding RNA and is suitable for multiplexing with protein immunostaining in the same cell. For demonstration of our method, this chapter details the detection of miR155 and CD69 protein in PMA and ionomycin-stimulated Jurkat cells. We also include instructions on how to set up a microfluidic chip sample preparation station to prepare cells for imaging and analysis on a commercial flow cytometer or a custom-built micro-flow cytometer.

One often needs to operate under the assumption of sparsely available model simulations. This issue is even more critical when models include a large number of input parameters. This "curse of dimensionality," in particular, leads to a prohibitively large number of basis terms in spectral methods for uncertainty quantification, such as polynomial chaos (PC) methods. In this work, we implement a PC-based surrogate model construction that "learns" and retains only the most relevant basis terms of the PC expansion, using sparse Bayesian learning. This dramatically reduces the dimensionality of the problem, making it more amenable to further analysis such as sensitivity or calibration studies. The model of interest is the community land model with about 80 input parameters, which also exhibits nonsmooth input-output behavior. We enhanced the methodology by a clustering and classifying procedure that leads to a piecewise-PC surrogate thereby dealing with nonlinearity. We then obtain global sensitivity information for five outputs with respect to all input parameters using less than 10,000 model simulations-a very small number for an 80-dimensional input parameter space.

Here failure is defined as some scalar function, y (x), exceeding a threshold, T. If evaluating y (x) via physical or numerical experiments is sufficiently expensive or P-F is sufficiently small, then Monte Carlo (MC) methods to estimate P-F will be unfeasible due to the large number of function evaluations required for a specified accuracy. Importance sampling (IS), i.e., preferentially sampling from "important" regions in the input space and appropriately down-weighting to obtain an unbiased estimate, is one approach to assess P-F more efficiently. The inputs are sampled from an importance density, p' (x). We present an adaptive importance sampling (AIS) approach which endeavors to adaptively improve the estimate of the ideal importance density, p* (x), during the sampling process. Our approach uses a mixture of component probability densities that each approximate p* (x). An iterative process is used to construct the sequence of improving component probability densities. At each iteration, a Gaussian process (GP) surrogate is used to help identify areas in the space where failure is likely to occur. The GPs are not used to directly calculate the failure probability; they are only used to approximate the importance density. Thus, our Gaussian process adaptive importance sampling (GPAIS) algorithm overcomes limitations involving using a potentially inaccurate surrogate model directly in IS calculations. This robust GPAIS algorithm performs surprisingly well on a pathological test function. C1 [Dalbey, Keith; Swiler, Laura] Sandia Natl Labs, Albuquerque, NM 87185 USA.

At these small scales, deviations from laws appropriate at the macroscale arise due to insufficient scale separation between the atomic and continuum length scales, as well as fluctuations due to thermal processes. In this work, we consider the problem of inferring the coefficients of an assumed constitutive model form using atomistic information and propagation of the associated uncertainty. A nanoscale heat transfer problem is taken as the model, and we use a polynomial chaos expansion to represent the thermal conductivity with a linear temperature dependence. A Bayesian inference method is developed to extract the coefficients in this expansion from molecular dynamics (MD) samples at prescribed temperatures. Importantly, the atomistic data are incompatible with the continuum model because of the finite probability of heat flowing in the opposite direction of the temperature gradient; we present a method to account for this in the model. The fidelity and uncertainty in these techniques are then examined. Validation is provided by comparing a continuum Fourier model against a larger all MD simulation representing the true solution.

In Part 1 of this study, this problem was explored by considering a continuum scale heat conduction constitutive law inferred directly from molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. In contrast, this work uses Bayesian inference based on the MD data to construct a Gaussian process emulator of the heat flux as a function of temperature and temperature gradient. No assumption of Fourier-like behavior is made, requiring alternative approaches to assess the well-posedness and accuracy of the emulator. Validation is provided by comparing continuum scale predictions using the emulator model against a larger all-MD simulation representing the true solution. The results show that a Gaussian process emulator of the heat conduction constitutive law produces an empirically unbiased prediction of the continuum scale temperature field for a variety of time scales, which was not observed when Fourier's law is assumed to hold. Finally, uncertainty is propagated in the continuum model and quantified in the temperature field so the impact of errors in the model on continuum quantities can be determined.

The approach was tested on a single machine infinite bus system and the over 15,000 -bus Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) system in western North America. Compared to the classic Monte Carlo (MC) method, the PCM applies the Smolyak algorithm to reduce the number of simulations that have to be performed. Therefore, the computational cost can be greatly reduced using PCM. A comparison was made with the MC method on a single machine as well as the WECC system. The simulation results show that by using PCM only a small number of sparse grid points need to be sampled even when dealing with systems with a relatively large number of uncertain parameters.

However, China currently suffers unreasonable cogeneration pricing and cost sharing, which has seriously hampered the development of cogeneration power plants. Based on the production process of cogeneration, this paper analyses the principles of thermoelectric cogeneration and energy savings. We research a variety of cost-sharing methods including two attributed to power and another three focused on heat. We then propose a new cost-sharing method to take into account both heating and generation. A real thermal power plant of 600 MW is selected as a case study. Our results show that the reduced condensation losses of heat extraction could have saved 87,088.43 tons of standard coal in 2010, which is equivalent to CO2 emission reductions of 226,430 tons, if the proposed cost-sharing method had been used. Finally, policy suggestions are made to ensure the sustainable development of cogeneration and promote energy savings and emission reduction in China.

The Carbon Capture Simulation Initiative (CCSI) is a partnership among national laboratories, industry and universities that is developing, demonstrating, and deploying a suite of multi-scale modeling and simulation tools. One significant computational tool is FOQUS, a Framework for Optimization and Quantification of Uncertainty and Sensitivity, which enables basic data submodels, including thermodynamics and kinetics, to be used within detailed process models to rapidly synthesize and optimize a process and determine the level of uncertainty associated with the resulting process. The overall approach of CCSI is described with a more detailed discussion of FOQUS and its application to carbon capture systems.

Given the number of potential failures in the network, these problems are very large; yet need to be solved rapidly. In this paper, we demonstrate that this multi-scenario problem can be solved quickly using a parallel decomposition approach based on nonlinear interior-point methods.

However, the fast response speed of electronics devices makes it possible that the kinetic energy stored and/or wind power reserve (if it exists) in variable-speed wind generators could be injected into the power grid in a fast manner. This portion of fast-injected active power could contribute to frequency regulation or oscillation damping of the EI significantly if implemented with appropriate control schemes. In this chapter, a user-defined wind electrical control model with fast active power controllers is built in PSS (R) E. Then, based on the 16,000-bus EI system dynamic model, the potential contributions of variable-speed wind generators to the EI frequency regulation and oscillation damping are evaluated respectively. Simulation results have demonstrated that current and future penetrations of wind generation are promising in providing frequency regulation and oscillation damping in the EI.

Radiological airborne surveys are undertaken by local, state and federal agencies to identify the presence of radiological materials out of regulatory compliance. Detection performance in such surveys is determined by (among other factors) the uncertainty in the radiation background; increased knowledge of the expected radiation background will improve the ability to detect low-activity radiological materials. Radiological background due to naturally occurring radiological materials (NORM) can be estimated by reference to previous survey results, use of global K-40, U-238, and Th-232 (KUT) values, reference to existing USGS radiation background maps, or by a moving average of the data as it is acquired. Each of these methods has its drawbacks: previous survey results may not include recent changes, the global average provides only a zero-order estimate, the USGS background radiation map resolutions are coarse and are accurate only to 1 km - 25 km sampling intervals depending on locale, and a moving average may essentially low pass filter the data to obscure small changes in radiation counts. Imaging spectroscopy from airborne or spaceborne platforms can offer higher resolution identification of materials and background, as well as provide imaging context information. AVIRIS hyperspectral image data is analyzed using commercial exploitation software to determine the usefulness of imaging spectroscopy to identify qualitative radiological background emissions when compared to airborne radiological survey data.

In the infrared, spectral features may be observed as either maxima or minima in general, the upwardgoing peaks in the reflectance spectrum result from surface scattering, which are rays that have reflected from the surface without penetration, whereas downward-going peaks result from either absorption or volume scattering, i.e. rays that have penetrated into the sample to be absorbed or refracted into the sample interior and are not reflected. The light signal reflected from solids usually encompasses all these effects which include dependencies on particle size, morphology and sample density. This paper measures the reflectance spectra in the 1.3 16 micron range for various bulk materials that have a combination of strong and weak absorption bands in order to understand the effects on the spectral features as a function of the mean grain size of the sample. The bulk materials were ground and sieved to separate the samples into various size fractions: 0-45, 45-90, 90-180, 180-250, 250-500, and >500 microns. The directional-hemispherical spectra were recorded using a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer equipped with an integrating sphere to measure the reflectance for all of the particle-size fractions. We have studied both organic and inorganic materials, but this paper focuses on inorganic salts, NaNO3, in particular. Our studies clearly show that particle size has an enormous influence on the measured reflectance spectra for bulk materials and that successful identification requires sufficient representative reflectance data so as to include the particle size(s) of interest. Origins of the effects are discussed. C1 [Myers, Tanya L.; Brauer, Carolyn S.; Su, Yin-Fong; Blake, Thomas A.; Johnson, Timothy J.] Pacific NW Natl Lab, 902 Battelle Blvd, Richland, WA 99352 USA.

The system captures both spatial dimensions and the spectral dimension at the same time. Advanced algorithms take the recorded dispersed images and use them to construct the data cube in which each reconstructed image is the recorded scene at a specific wavelength. A simulation tool has been developed which uses Zemax to accurately trace rays through real or proposed optical systems. The simulation is used here to explore the limitations of tomographic reconstruction in both idealized and aberrated imaging systems. Results of the study show the accuracy of reconstructed images depends upon the content of the original target scene, the number of projections measured, and the angle through which the prism is rotated. For cases studied here, 20 projections are sufficient to achieve image quality 99.5 +/- 1% of the max value. Reconstructed image quality degrades with aberrations, but no worse than equivalent conventional imagers.

TI The influence of temperature calibration on the OC-EC results from a dual-optics thermal carbon analyzer SO ATMOSPHERIC MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES LA English DT Article ID SOURCE APPORTIONMENT; ELEMENTAL CARBON; SOURCE PROFILES; FINE PARTICLES; IMPROVE; PM2.5; REFLECTANCE; WASHINGTON; FRACTIONS; AEROSOLS AB Thermal-optical analysis (TOA) is a widely used technique that fractionates carbonaceous aerosol particles into organic and elemental carbon (OC and EC), or carbonate. Thermal sub-fractions of evolved OC and EC are also used for source identification and apportionment; thus, oven temperature accuracy during TOA analysis is essential. Evidence now indicates that the "actual" sample (filter) temperature and the temperature measured by the built-in oven thermocouple (or set-point temperature) can differ by as much as 50 degrees C. This difference can affect the OC-EC split point selection and consequently the OC and EC fraction and sub-fraction concentrations being reported, depending on the sample composition and in-use TOA method and instrument. The present study systematically investigates the influence of an oven temperature calibration procedure for TOA. A dual-optical carbon analyzer that simultaneously measures transmission and reflectance (TOT and TOR) is used, functioning under the conditions of both the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health Method 5040 (NIOSH) and Interagency Monitoring of Protected Visual Environment (IMPROVE) protocols. The application of the oven calibration procedure to our dual-optics instrument significantly changed NIOSH 5040 carbon fractions (OC and EC) and the IMPROVE OC fraction. In addition, the well-known OC-EC split difference between NIOSH and IMPROVE methods is even further perturbed following the instrument calibration. Further study is needed to determine if the widespread application of this oven temperature calibration procedure will indeed improve accuracy and our ability to compare among carbonaceous aerosol studies that use TOA.

In the calculation of XCH4 from aircraft measurements (aircraft-based XCH4), other satellite data were used for the CH4 profiles above the tropopause. We proposed a data-screening scheme for aircraft-based XCH4 for reliable validation of GOSAT XCH4. Further, we examined the impact of GOSAT SWIR column averaging kernels (CAK) on the aircraft-based XCH4 calculation and found that the difference between aircraft-based XCH4 with and without the application of the GOSAT CAK was less than +/- 9 ppb at maximum, with an average difference of -0.5 ppb. We compared GOSAT XCH4 Ver. 02.00 data retrieved within +/- 2 degrees or +/- 5 degrees latitude-longitude boxes centered at each aircraft measurement site with aircraft-based XCH4 measured on a GOSAT overpass day. In general, GOSAT XCH4 was in good agreement with aircraft-based XCH4. However, over land, the GOSAT data showed a positive bias of 1.5 ppb (2.0 ppb) with a standard deviation of 14.9 ppb (16.0 ppb) within the +/- 2 degrees (+/- 5 degrees) boxes, and over ocean, the average bias was 4.1 ppb (6.5 ppb) with a standard deviation of 9.4 ppb (8.8 ppb) within the +/- 2 degrees (+/- 5 degrees) boxes. In addition, we obtained similar results when we used an aircraft-based XCH4 time series obtained by curve fitting with temporal interpolation for comparison with GOSAT data.

In July 2011, in the Baltimore-Washington DC region, synergistic profiling of optical and microphysical properties of aerosols with both airborne (in situ and remote sensing) and ground-based remote sensing systems was performed during the first deployment of DISCOVER-AQ. The hybrid multiwavelength lidar data set combines ground-based elastic backscatter lidar measurements at 355 nm with airborne High-Spectral-Resolution Lidar (HSRL) measurements at 532 nm and elastic backscatter lidar measurements at 1064 nm that were obtained less than 5 km apart from each other. This was the first study in which optical and microphysical retrievals from lidar were obtained during the day and directly compared to AERONET and in situ measurements for 11 cases. Good agreement was observed between lidar and AERONET retrievals. Larger discrepancies were observed between lidar retrievals and in situ measurements obtained by the aircraft and aerosol hygroscopic effects are believed to be the main factor in such discrepancies.

XTA, which includes X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) and X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS), has evolved beyond proof-of-concept studies and has been increasingly used to interrogate real chemical problems. Advances in ultrafast laser technology, pulsed X-ray sources in synchrotron facilities, as well as the frontier femtosecond X-ray pulses from X-ray free electron lasers have opened up new opportunities to gain a new fundamental description of the chemical sciences. This review reports historical and recent advances in XTA, particularly in its chemical applications, and is focused on (1) an overview of XTA capabilities in comparison to the related techniques of X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) and resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS), (2) general chemical properties that can be investigated by the XTA method, (3) chemical systems studied by XTA investigations such as transition metal complexes, metalloproteins and hybrid systems, and (4) summary and perspectives.

Speckle imaging used in non-destructive evaluation is well-known but requires a precisely acquired reference image and can measure excursions only within the 2 pi ambiguity range determined by the illumination wavelength. Our approach is based upon earlier efforts pioneered by Takeda, but with updated illumination, imaging, and processing tools, in which a surface under test is illuminated with tunable laser light in a Michelson interferometer configuration. A speckled image is acquired at each laser frequency step creating a data hypercube. Interference between the reference wavefront and light from the object causes the amplitude of the speckles to cycle with laser tuning. Fourier transforming the hypercube in the laser frequency dimension reveals periods that map heights of surface features. Height resolution is determined by the maximum tuning range of the laser, which for our 16-nm tuning range provides approximately 18 micron resolution without any efforts at interpolation. The largest height without wraparound depends on the smallest tuning steps, which for our laser is 15 cm for 0.002 nm (1 GHz) tuning steps. In this way, objects with large discontinuous steps or holes can be imaged without confusion. Also, due to the illumination beam being normal to the surface under test, shadowing is eliminated. To inform our design and better understand our system's limitations, we have developed extensive numerical models based upon Monte Carlo ray tracing in which speckle patterns are produced after scattering from model surfaces by coherent summing of rays at the detector plane. Data acquired by the system as well as modeling results will be shown. C1 [Bernacki, Bruce E.; Cannon, Bret D.; Schiffern, John T.; Mendoza, Albert] Pacific NW Natl Lab, Richland, WA 99352 USA.

The model, which consists of two Cauchy layers, is constructed with an inner layer meant to model primarily inorganic compounds adjacent to an electrode and an outer layer which mirrors polymeric, organic constituents on the exterior of the SEI. Comparison of 1: 1 EC: EMC and 1: 4 EC: EMC with 1.0 M LiPF6 shows distinct differences in the two modeled layers. The data suggest that the thickness of both layers change over a wide potential range. These changes have been linked with other reports on the growth of the SEI.

Catalysts were prepared by covalently attaching a phthalocyanine-type ligand to a carbon black surface, and adding Cu(OAc)(2). The phthalocyanine-type ligand provides the nitrogen to form the presumed catalytic centers with the Cu metal. Rotating ring disk electrode experiments revealed that the catalytic activity of the as-synthesized material is greatly enhanced after one-step pyrolysis under inert atmosphere, reaching an onset potential of 0.82 V vs. RHE in acidic environment after thermal treatment at 950 degrees C, making this the best copper-based ORR catalyst in acid reported to date.

First, CPS with communication infrastructure is modeled as a hybrid system, in which the discrete system state is the mode of the communication infrastructure while the continuous system state is the state of the physical dynamics. The dynamical system can be considered as being switched among multiple modes corresponding to the discrete system state. Then, the communication infrastructure design is converted to the problems of mode provisioning and scheduling. This framework is applied in the context of smart grid as a special example of CPS and is shown to achieve good performance via numerical simulations.

Soot agglomerates were collected with a thermophoretic sampling device installed in the exhaust pipe of the engine. The morphology of soot particles was analyzed using high resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The elemental and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were also conducted to study chemical composition of soot particles. Based on the TEM images, it was revealed that the soot derived from WCO biodiesel has a highly graphitic shell-core arrangement compared to diesel soot. The mean size was measured from averaging 400 primary particles for WCO biodiesel and diesel respectively. The values for WCO biodiesel indicated 19.9 nm which was smaller than diesel's 23.7 nm. From the TGA results, WCO biodiesel showed faster oxidation process. While the oxidation of soot particles from diesel continued until 660 degrees C, WCO biodiesel soot oxidation terminated at 560 degrees C. Elemental analysis results showed that the diesel soot was mainly composed of carbon and hydrogen. On the other hand, WCO biodiesel soot contained high amount of oxygen species.

At the same time, electricity prices vary significantly at different times of the day. Furthermore, job power profiles also differ greatly, especially on HPC systems. In this paper, we propose a smart, power-aware job scheduling approach for HPC systems based on variable energy prices and job power profiles. In particular, we propose a 0-1 knapsack model and demonstrate its flexibility and effectiveness for scheduling jobs, with the goal of reducing energy cost and not degrading system utilization. We design scheduling strategies for Blue Gene/P, a typical partition-based system. Experiments with both synthetic data and real job traces from production systems show that our power-aware job scheduling approach can reduce the energy cost significantly, up to 25%, with only slight impact on system utilization.

We evaluate the contribution of basal motion from ice deformation measurements in boreholes drilled to the bed at two sites in the western marginal zone of the GrIS. We find a sustained high amount of basal motion contribution to surface velocity of 44-73% in winter, and up to 90% in summer. Measured ice deformation rates show an unexpected variation with depth that can be explained with the help of an ice-flow model as a consequence of stress transfer from slippery to sticky areas. This effect necessitates the use of high-order ice-flow models, not only in regions of fast-flowing ice streams but in all temperate-based areas of the GrIS. The agreement between modeled and measured deformation rates confirms that the recommended values of the temperature-dependent flow rate factor A are a good choice for ice-sheet models.

Some of these requirements flow directly to the array of science imaging sensors at the focal plane. Availability of high quality characterization data acquired in the course of our sensor development program has given us an opportunity to develop and test a framework for simulation and modeling that is based on a limited set of physical and geometric effects. In this paper we describe those models, provide quantitative comparisons between data and modeled response, and extrapolate the response model to predict imaging array response to astronomical exposure. The emergent picture departs from the notion of a fixed, rectilinear grid that maps photo-conversions to the potential well of the channel. In place of that, we have a situation where structures from device fabrication, local silicon bulk resistivity variations and photo-converted carrier patterns still accumulating at the channel, together influence and distort positions within the photosensitive volume that map to pixel boundaries. Strategies for efficient extraction of modeling parameters from routinely acquired characterization data are described. Methods for high fidelity illumination/image distribution parameter retrieval, in the presence of such distortions, are also discussed.

For example, predicting college student performance is crucial for both the student and educational institutions. It can support timely intervention to prevent students from failing a course, increasing efficacy of advising functions, and improving course completion rate. In this paper, we present the efforts carried out at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) toward conducting predictive analytics to academic data collected from 2009 through 2013 and available in one of the most commonly used learning management systems, called Moodle. First, we have identified the data features useful for predicting student outcomes such as students' scores in homework assignments, quizzes, exams, in addition to their activities in discussion forums and their total GPA at the same term they enrolled in the course. Then, Logistic Regression and Neural Network predictive models are used to identify students as early as possible that are in danger of failing the course they are currently enrolled in. These models compute the likelihood of any given student failing (or passing) the current course. Numerical results are presented to evaluate and compare the performance of the developed models and their predictive accuracy.

Data integration across enterprise warehouses is one of the most challenging steps in the big data analytics strategy. Several levels of data integration have been identified across enterprise warehouses: data accessibility, common data platform, and consolidated data model. Each level of integration has its own set of complexities that requires a certain amount of time, budget, and resources to implement. Such levels of integration are designed to address the technical challenges inherent in consolidating the disparate data sources. In this paper, we present a methodology based on industry best practices to measure the readiness of an organization and its data sets against the different levels of data integration. We introduce a new Integration Level Model (ILM) tool, which is used for quantifying an organization and data system's readiness to share data at a certain level of data integration. It is based largely on the established and accepted framework provided in the Data Management Association (DAMA-DMBOK). It comprises several key data management functions and supporting activities, together with several environmental elements that describe and apply to each function. The proposed model scores the maturity of a system's data governance processes and provides a pragmatic methodology for evaluating integration risks. The higher the computed scores, the better managed the source data system and the greater the likelihood that the data system can be brought in at a higher level of integration.

To perform the 5000 sq-degree wide field and 30 sq-degree supernova surveys, the DES Collaboration built the Dark Energy Camera (DECam), a 3 square-degree, 570-Megapixel CCD camera that was installed at the prime focus of the Blanco 4-meter telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO). DES started its first observing season on August 31, 2013 and observed for 105 nights through mid-February 2014. This paper describes DES "Year 1" (Y1), the strategy and goals for the first year's data, provides an outline of the operations procedures, lists the efficiency of survey operations and the causes of lost observing time, provides details about the quality of the first year's data, and hints at the "Year 2" plan and outlook.

Both the Gemini telescope and the GPI instrument are very complex systems. Our goal is that the combined telescope and instrument system may be run by one observer operating the instrument, and one operator controlling the telescope and the acquisition of light to the instrument. This requires a smooth integration between the two systems and easily operated control interfaces. We discuss the definition of the software and hardware interfaces, their implementation and testing, and the integration of the instrument with the telescope environment.

Their telescopes, instruments, software, and human resources engage in interwoven workflows over a broad range of timescales. These workflows have been tuned to be responsive to concepts of observatory operations that were applicable when various assets were commissioned, years or decades in the past. The astronomical community is entering an era of rapid change increasingly characterized by large time domain surveys, robotic telescopes and automated infrastructures, and most significantly of operating modes and scientific consortia that span our individual facilities, joining them into complex network entities. Observatories must adapt and numerous initiatives are in progress that focus on redesigning individual components out of the astronomical toolkit. New instrumentation is both more capable and more complex than ever, and even simple instruments may have powerful observation scripting capabilities. Remote and queue observing modes are now widespread. Data archives are becoming ubiquitous. Virtual observatory standards and protocols and astroinformatics data-mining techniques layered on these are areas of active development. Indeed, new large-aperture ground-based telescopes may be as expensive as space missions and have similarly formal project management processes and large data management requirements. This piecewise approach is not enough. Whatever challenges of funding or politics facing the national and international astronomical communities it will be more efficient scientifically as well as in the usual figures of merit of cost, schedule, performance, and risks to explicitly address the systems engineering of the astronomical community as a whole.

It is also evident that this same effect leads to sensor plane variability in inspection tools. This is true for both patterned mask and mask blank inspection. Here we evaluate mask roughness specifications explicitly from the actinic inspection perspective. The mask roughness requirement resulting from this analysis are consistent with previously described requirements based on lithographic LER. In addition to model-based analysis, we also consider the characterization of multilayer mask roughness and evaluate the validity of using atomic force microscopy (AFM) based measurements by direct comparison to EUV scatterometry measurements as well as aerial image measurements on a series of high quality EUV masks. The results demonstrate a significant discrepancy between AFM results and true EUV roughness as measured by actinic scattering.

The results show that N-2, CO, CO2, and H2O are physisorbed on germanene via van der Waals interactions, while NH3, NO, NO2, and O-2 are chemisorbed on germanene via strong covalent (Ge-N or Ge-O) bonds. The chemisorption of gas molecules on germanene opens a band gap at the Dirac point of germanene. NO2 chemisorption on germanene shows strong hole doping in germanene. O-2 is easily dissociated on germanene at room temperature. Different adsorption behaviors of common gas molecules on germanene provide a feasible way to exploit chemically modified germanene.

Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) experiments reveal inter-acid correlation peaks corresponding to average centre-of-mass to centre-of-mass separations of 18-23 angstrom between P center dot center dot center dot P, Si center dot center dot center dot Si, and Al center dot center dot center dot Al of H4PW12O40, H4SiW12O40, and H5AlW12O40, respectively, consistent with the presence of TBP solvates that form by hydrogen bonding between the acids and the phosphoryl group of TBP. The Baxter sticky sphere model analyses of the SAXS data reveal identical structures for all the dense phases with inter-cluster interaction energies of similar to 5k(B)T. We demonstrate that the sticky sphere model is an essential paradigm for interpreting SAXS and predicting mesoscale assembly in heteropolyacid microemulsions. The model parameters for the ternary polyoxometalate-amphiphile-oil systems reveal, in rigorous clarity, how the interactions between heteropolyacid solvates underpin their condensation to produce the observed scattering data. Aside from aiding researchers in predicting the physical origins of SAXS in strongly-interacting micellar systems found in natural and engineered settings, such as chemical separations, our study provides mesostructural information that complements previously observed electrochemical behaviours for third phases formed by solvent extraction involving the contact of aqueous electrolytes of dodecatungsto-phosphoric, -silicic, and -aluminic acids with organic solutions (e.g. n-dodecane and n-octane) of TBP, and by simple dissolution of the acid salts of the polyoxometalate hydrates in the same organic solutions.

The wavefunction is defined to be a linear combination of independently relaxed Slater determinants obtained from all possible spin-flipping excitations within a localized orbital active-space, typically taken to be the singly occupied orbitals of a high-spin ROHF wavefunction. The constrained orbital optimization of each CI basis configuration is defined such that only non-active-space orbitals are allowed to relax (all active space orbitals are fixed). A number of simplifications and benefits arise due to the fact that only a restricted number of orbital rotations are permitted, (1) basis states cannot coalesce during SCF, (2) basis state optimization is better conditioned due to a larger effective HOMO-LUMO gap, (3) smooth potential energy surfaces are easily obtained, (4) the Hamiltonian coupling between two basis states with non-orthogonal orbitals is greatly simplified. To illustrate the advantages over a conventional orthogonal CI expansion, we investigate exchange coupling constants of bimetallic complexes, the avoided crossing of the lowest singlet states during LiF dissociation, and ligand non-innocence in an organometallic complex. These numerical examples indicate that good qualitative agreement can be obtained with SF-NOCI, but dynamical correlation must be included to obtain quantitative accuracy.

Emphasis is placed on the effects of scaling on coordinate systems. Effects of scaling are represented by a scalar field, theta, that appears in gauge theories as a spin zero boson. Gauge theory considerations led to the concept of local mathematics, as expressed through the use of universes, U-x, as collections of local mathematical systems at each point, x, of a space time manifold, M. Both local and global coordinate charts are described. These map M into either local or global coordinate systems within a universe or between universes, respectively. The lifting of global expressions of nonlocal physical quantities, expressed by space and or time integrals or derivatives on M, to integrals or derivatives on coordinate systems, is described. The assumption of local mathematics and universes makes integrals and derivatives, on M or on global charts, meaningless. They acquire meaning only when mapped into a local universe. The effect of scaling, by including the effect of theta into the local maps, is described. The lack of experimental evidence for theta so far shows that the coupling constant of theta to matter fields must be very small compared to the fine structure constant. Also the gradient of theta must be very small in the local region of cosmological space and time occupied by us as observers. So far, there are no known restrictions on theta or its gradient in regions of space and/or time that are far away from our local region. C1 Argonne Natl Lab, Div Phys, Argonne, IL 60439 USA.

In the present work, we are applying "chemical looping", a technology that has found much attention as a clean combustion technology, towards selective partial oxidation of methane to produce synthesis gas (CLPOM). By tailoring the composition of NixFe1-x-CeO2 oxygen carriers and carefully controlling the supply of oxygen, i.e., the extent of the carrier reduction and oxidation in redox cycles, the reactivity and selectivity of these carriers for partial oxidation was optimized. Addition of a small amount of Ni to iron oxides allowed the combination of the high reactivity of Ni for methane activation with the good syngas selectivity of iron oxides. An optimized carrier with the composition of Ni0.12Fe0.88-CeO2 demonstrated excellent stability in multi-cycle CLPOM operation and high syngas yields with a H-2 : CO ratio of similar to 2 and minimal carbon formation. Finally, a simplified fixed-bed reactor model was used to assess the thermal aspects of operating the process in a periodically operated fixed-bed reactor. We found that the process is highly sensitive to the degree of carrier utilization, but that maximum temperatures can be easily controlled in CLPOM via control of the active metal content and oxygen utilization in the carriers. Overall, chemical looping partial oxidation of methane emerges as an attractive alternative to conventional catalytic partial oxidation, enabling the use of low-cost transition metal oxides and air as oxidant, and resulting in inherently safe reactor operation by avoiding mixed methane/air streams.

We present results from an ongoing effort to extend machine vision methodologies to the environmental sciences, using state-of-theart adaptive signal processing, combined with compressive sensing and machine learning techniques. We use a modified Hebbian learning rule to build spectral-textural dictionaries that are tailored for classification. We learn our dictionaries from millions of overlapping multispectral image patches and then use a pursuit search to generate classification features. Land cover labels are automatically generated using CoSA: unsupervised Clustering of Sparse Approximations. We demonstrate our method on multispectral WorldView-2 data from a coastal plain ecosystem in Barrow, Alaska (USA). Our goal is to develop a robust classification methodology that will allow for automated discretization of the landscape into distinct units based on attributes such as vegetation, surface hydrological properties (e. g., soil moisture and inundation), and topographic/geomorphic characteristics. In this paper, we explore learning from both raw multispectral imagery, as well as normalized band difference indexes. We explore a quantitative metric to evaluate the spectral properties of the clusters, in order to potentially aid in assigning land cover categories to the cluster labels.

Such impulsive events are dispersed through the ionosphere and appear as broadband nonlinear chirps at a receiver on-orbit. They occur in the presence of additive noise and structured clutter, making their classification challenging. The Fast On-orbit Recording of Transient Events (FORTE) satellite provided a rich RF lightning database. Application of modern pattern recognition techniques to this database may further lightning research in the scientific community, and potentially improve on-orbit processing and event discrimination capabilities for future satellite payloads. Conventional feature extraction techniques using analytical dictionaries, such as a short-time Fourier basis or wavelets, are not comprehensively suitable for analyzing the broadband RF pulses under consideration here. We explore an alternative approach based on non-analytical dictionaries learned directly from data, and extend two dictionary learning algorithms, K-SVD and Hebbian, for use with satellite RF data. Both algorithms allow us to learn features without relying on analytical constraints or additional knowledge about the expected signal characteristics. We then use a pursuit search over the learned dictionaries to generate sparse classification features, and discuss their performance in terms of event classification. We also use principal component analysis to analyze and compare the respective learned dictionary spaces to the real data space.

Examples include sensors for automobile engines, gas turbines, nuclear and coal power plants, and petroleum and geothermal well drilling. Military applications, such as hypersonic flight research, would also benefit from sensors capable of 1000 degrees C. Silicon carbide (SiC) has long been recognized as a promising material for harsh environment sensors and electronics because it has the highest mechanical strength of semiconductors with the exception of diamond and its upper temperature limit exceeds 2500 C, where it sublimates rather than melts. Yet today, many advanced SiC MEMS are limited to lower temperatures because they are made from SiC films deposited on silicon wafers. Other limitations arise from sensor transduction by measuring changes in capacitance or resistance, which require biasing or modulation schemes that can withstand elevated temperatures. We are circumventing these issues by developing sensing structures directly on SiC wafers using SiC and piezoelectric aluminum nitride (AIN) thin films. SiC and AIN are a promising material combination due to their high thermal, electrical, and mechanical strength and closely matched coefficients of thermal expansion. AIN is also a non-ferroelectric piezoelectric material, enabling piezoelectric transduction at temperatures exceeding 1000 degrees C. In this paper, the challenges of incorporating these two materials into a compatible MEMS fabrication process are presented. The current progress and initial measurements of the fabrication process are shown. The future direction and the need for further investigation of the material set are addressed.

If designed properly, the subsurface rock formations will lead this water back to the extraction well as heated brine. Proper monitoring of these geothermal reservoirs is essential for developing and maintaining the necessary level of productivity of the field. Chemical tracers are commonly used to characterize the fracture network and determine the connectivity between the injection and production wells. Currently, most tracer experiments involve injecting the tracer at the injection well, manually collecting liquid samples at the wellhead of the production well, and sending the samples off for laboratory analysis. While this method provides accurate tracer concentration data at very low levels of detection, it does not provide information regarding the location of the fractures which were conducting the tracer between wellbores. Sandia is developing a high-temperature electrochemical sensor capable of measuring tracer concentrations and pH downhole on a wireline tool. The goal of this effort is to collect real-time pH and ionic tracer concentration data at temperatures up to 225 degrees C and pressures up to 3000 psi. In this paper, a prototype electrochemical sensor and the initial data obtained will be presented detailing the measurement of iodide tracer concentrations at high temperature and pressure in a newly developed laboratory scale autoclave.

A unifying framework is considered which is based on Rayleigh-Ritz projection methods. First, a Rayleigh-Ritz approach for the SVD is discussed and it is then used to interpret the Zha and Simon algorithms [SIAM J. Sci. Comput., 21 (1999), pp. 782-791]. This viewpoint leads to a few alternatives whose goal is to reduce computational cost and storage requirement by projection techniques that utilize subspaces of much smaller dimension. Numerical experiments show that the proposed algorithms yield accuracies comparable to those obtained from standard ones at a much lower computational cost.

Iterative solution of linear systems is important in large-scale applications, such as optimization problems with partial differential equation constraints, where direct solves are either too expensive or not applicable. Our trust-region SQP algorithm is based on a composite-step approach that decouples the step into a quasi-normal and a tangential step. The algorithm includes critical modifications of substep computations needed to cope with the inexact solution of linear systems. The global convergence of our algorithm is guaranteed under rather general conditions on the substeps. We propose algorithms to compute the substeps and prove that these algorithms satisfy global convergence conditions. All components of the resulting algorithm are specified in such a way that they can be directly implemented. Numerical results indicate that our algorithm converges even for very coarse linear system solves. C1 [Heinkenschloss, Matthias] Rice Univ, Dept Computat & Appl Math, Houston, TX 77005 USA.

These two dimensional (2D) plasmonic systems are not only well-suited for device integration, but also enable the broad tunability of underdamped plasma excitations via an applied electric field. We present demonstrations of the coherent coupling of multiple voltage tuned GaAs/AlGaAs 2D plasmonic resonators under terahertz irradiation. By utilizing a plasmonic homodyne mixing mechanism to downconvert the near field of plasma waves to a DC signal, we directly detect the spectrum of coupled plasmonic micro-resonator structures at cryogenic temperatures. The 2DEG in the studied devices can be interpreted as a plasmonic waveguide where multiple gate terminals control the 2DEG kinetic inductance. When the gate tuning of the 2DEG is spatially periodic, a one-dimensional finite plasmonic crystal forms. This results in a subwavelength structure, much like a metamaterial element, that nonetheless Bragg scatters plasma waves from a repeated crystal unit cell. A 50% in situ tuning of the plasmonic crystal band edges is observed. By introducing gate-controlled defects or simply terminating the lattice, localized states arise in the plasmonic crystal. Inherent asymmetries at the finite crystal boundaries produce an induced transparency-like phenomenon due to the coupling of defect modes and crystal surface states known as Tamm states. The demonstrated active control of coupled plasmonic resonators opens previously unexplored avenues for sensitive direct and heterodyne THz detection, planar metamaterials, and slow-light devices.

This approach was refined over the years with the introduction of plate and frame heat exchangers that avoided contaminating the chilled water system with water from the cooling tower. Analysis of a generic fluid-cooler arrangement that precools chilled water return has shown that a water economizer is generally cost effective based on the capacity of chilled water served systems that do not have airside economizers. Based on this cost effectiveness, proposed Addendum DU to ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2010 would extend the requirement for an economizer to chilled water systems that were formerly exempt due to being below the individual fan system size threshold. This proposal will provide cost effective savings for radiant cooling systems, chilled beams, and fan coil units when the total capacity without air economizers is large enough. This paper reviews some approaches to achieving the savings, cost effectiveness analysis, provisions for colder climates where freeze protection is a concern, and alternate system configurations.

Determining typical hot water draw patterns to use in test procedures to rate water heaters has been difficult. Methods to compare draw patterns were developed based on data obtained from 12 separate field studies. The data set from 22,902 days in 159 houses was analyzed to determine typical inlet and outlet water temperatures. The data was then divided into three clusters reflecting house configurations that demonstrated small, medium, or large median daily hot water use. The daily hot water use within each cluster was then analyzed in terms of volume and number of hot water draws. The daily draw patterns in each cluster were also characterized using cumulative distributions for volume of draws, duration of draws, times since previous draw, and flow rates. The results of the analysis of the field data were compared to the conditions and draw patterns in the current ASHRAE method of test for rating residential water heaters. The results show a higher number of smaller draws at lower flow rates than used in the current test procedure. The results of the analysis are being considered by ASHRAE standard project committee 118.2, Method of Testing for Rating Residential Water Heaters, to revise the test procedure for residential water heaters to incorporate a range of draw patterns.

S. market. These units have the potential to provide homeowners significant cost and energy savings. However, actual in-use performance of an HPWH will vary significantly with climate, installation location, HVAC equipment, and hot water use. In conditioned space, the cooling provided by the HPWH can be either a net benefit or a penalty depending on climate; in unconditioned space the ambient air temperature has a significant impact on its performance. To determine the in-use energy consumption of an HPWH in different regions, annual simulations of 50 and 80 gallon HPWHs as well as a standard electric resistance water heater installed in conditioned and unconditioned spaces were performed for more than 900 locations across the U. S. The simulations included a benchmark home to account for interactions between the space conditioning equipment and the HPWH and a realistic hot water draw profile that varied between 45 and 60 gallons per day with local mains water temperature. Results showed that the HPWH will always save some source energy compared to a standard electric water heater, although savings vary widely with location. In addition to source energy savings, the breakeven cost (the net installed cost an HPWH would have to have to be a cost neutral replacement for a standard water heater) was also examined. The highest breakeven costs were seen in cases with high energy savings, such as the Southeast, or high energy rates, such as New England and California. Although the breakeven cost is higher for the 80 gallon HPWH than for the 50 gallon HPWH, the 80 gallon unit's higher net installed costs makes it likely that the 50 gallon HPWH will be more cost effective.

HVAC and lighting systems are targeted because they are typically the highest energy end uses, but plug load reduction and control should be considered as part of a comprehensive approach to energy reduction. In a minimally code compliant office building, plug loads typically account for 25% of the total electrical load. In an ultra-efficient office building, plug loads are typically one of the last end uses to be considered for energy conservation and, as a result, can account for more than 50% of the total electrical load (Lobato et. al, 2011). Plug load efficiency strategies are different than other building efficiency strategies because they involve relatively small loads distributed throughout a building. These loads typically move around in the building when office configuration changes are made, so these loads may shift between circuits over time. Commercially available advanced power strips (APS) can be used to mitigate wasted energy from most plug loads and, in many cases, can have a return-on-investment of approximately two years or less. In recent technology demonstrations, data from occupancy sensors tracking plug load reductions with occupancy have shown energy-saving potential for both business and nonbusiness hours. Also, dense panel-level sub-metering has been used to quantify whole-building receptacle circuit energy consumption, energy savings, and return-on-investment for the whole building. Receptacle-level metering has been used to show the plug load energy consumption of individual devices and workstations. This paper documents the process (and results) of applying advanced power strips with various control approaches.

In Kodiak, Alaska, USCG is procuring between 24 and 100 residential multifamily housing units. Priorities for the Kodiak project were to reduce overall energy consumption by at least 20% over existing units, improve envelope construction, and evaluate space heating options. USCG is challenged with maintaining similar existing units that have complicated residential diesel boilers. Additionally, fuel and material costs are high in Kodiak. While USCG has worked to optimize the performance of the housing units with principles of improved building envelope, the engineers realize there are still opportunities for improvement, especially within the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system and different envelope measures. USCG staff also desires to balance higher upfront project costs for significantly reduced life-cycle costs of the residential units that have an expected lifetime of 50 or more years. To answer these questions, this analysis used the residential modeling tool BEoptE+ to examine potential energy-saving opportunities for the climate. The results suggest criteria for achieving optimized housing performance at the lowest cost. USCG will integrate the criteria into their procurement process. To achieve greater than 50% energy savings, USCG will need to specify full 2x6 inch (38x140 mm) wood stud R-21 (R-3.7 m(2)K/W) insulation with 2 inches (50.8 mm) of exterior foam, R-38 (R-6.7 m(2)K/W) ceiling insulation or even wall insulation in the crawl space, and R-49 (R-8.6 m(2)K/W) fiberglass batts in the vented attic. The air barrier should be improved to ensure a tight envelope with minimal infiltration to the goal of 2.0 ACH50. With the implementation of an air source heat pump for space heating requirements, the combination of HVAC and envelope savings in the residential unit can save up to 58% in source energy over existing residential units.

The fundamental limitation of these air-cooled heat exchangers is the thermal resistance of the boundary layer at the solid-air interface. To improve the air side heat transfer, passive convective enhancement techniques are often employed, but these result in undesirable increases in pressure drop and higher susceptibility to fouling. The air bearing heat exchanger (ABHE), invented by Koplow (2010), circumvents some of the inherent physical limitations of conventional heat exchanger topologies and has subsequently demonstrated unprecedented air-side thermal performance, especially in volume-constrained applications. The ABHE described in this study comprises a 10 cm [3.9 in] diameter stationary baseplate and a rotating impeller separated by a similar to 10 mu m [0.39.10(-3) in] hydrodynamic (i.e. self-sustained) air bearing. A thermal load is applied to the bottom of the baseplate and flows across the air bearing and into the rotating impeller. The impeller has fins that extend away from the baseplate and are shaped to act as centrifugal fan blades, inducing the surrounding ambient air to enter axially and exit radially. During this process the air absorbs the aforementioned thermal load originating from the baseplate. A key concept of the ABHE is that the hot fin surfaces reside in a rotating reference frame, which imposes a centrifugal body force on fluid particles in the boundary layer on the fins. This additional body force causes the boundary layer to remain very thin and results in an enhanced heat transfer coefficient. In this work, we present numerical simulation results and experimental measurements to demonstrate the performance of two different 10 cm [3.9 in] diameter ABHE designs. We used ANSYS CFX to predict the flow and heat transfer characteristics at the free delivery point, and we validated these simulation results with several experiments: we (1) measured fan curves at several rotational speeds on a custom-made flow bench, and (2) measured the heat transfer coefficient at several rotational speeds at the free delivery point. These results confirm that the ABHE is capable of levels of performance beyond the state-of-the-art; for example, one design was measured to have an air side primary convective heat transfer coefficient of 2000 W/m(2).K [350 Btu/h.ft(2).degrees F] at 4500 rpm. In addition, we observed that its pumping performance surpassed axial fans of comparable diameter (e. g. at 3750 rpm, it had a 150 Pa [0.60 inH(2)O] shut-off pressure and a 2370 L/min [83.7ft(3)/min] free delivery flow rate).

This building consists of two wings (North and South) joined by an Atrium. Tests were conducted to quantify the in-leakage from outdoor smoking using five gaseous perfluorocarbon tracers (PFTs) released at the two designated and two 'unofficial' outdoor smoking areas, and one in the building. Two test campaigns were conducted (Fall and Winter). The Fall test data supports an increased likelihood of noticing cigarette smoke from the outdoors by the occupants in the North wing as compared to other areas of the building. Concentrations of tracers released outdoors were a few percent of the tracer released indoors. The second campaign in the Winter used Brookhaven Atmospheric Tracer Samplers (BATS) to sample hourly over the PFTs over a 2 day period. During the day, in-leakage was similar to the fall test. However, a temperature inversion occurred during the evening and the winds were calm for a six hour period. During this period three tracers showed a substantial (a factor of 10) increase in concentration as compared to their values in the day when the temperature inversion was not present. The tracer PDCB released from an 'unofficial' smoking area had a peak concentration of 19% when normalized to the tracer released indoors during this period.

Up till now, most DOI methods developed are not cost-efficient for a whole body PET system. In this paper, we present a DOI decoding method based on flood map for low-cost conventional block detector with four-PMT readout. Using this method, the DOI information can be directly extracted from the DOI-related crystal spot deformation in the flood map. GATE simulations are then carried out to validate the method, confirming a DOI sorting accuracy of 85.27%. Therefore, we conclude that this method has the potential to be applied in conventional detectors to achieve a reasonable DOI measurement without dramatically increasing their complexity and cost of an entire PET system.

TI Carbon losses from pyrolysed and original wood in a forest soil under natural and increased N deposition SO BIOGEOSCIENCES LA English DT Article ID PYROGENIC ORGANIC-MATTER; SIMULATED NITROGEN DEPOSITION; RATIO MASS-SPECTROMETRY; BLACK CARBON; LITTER DECOMPOSITION; TWIG LITTER; CO2 EFFLUX; MINERALIZATION; BIOCHAR; RESPIRATION AB Pyrogenic organic matter (PyOM) plays an important role as a stable carbon (C) sink in the soils of terrestrial ecosystems. However, uncertainties remain about in situ turnover rates of fire-derived PyOM in soil, the main processes leading to PyOM-C and nitrogen (N) losses from the soil, and the role of N availability on PyOM cycling in soils. We measured PyOM and native soil organic carbon losses from the soil as carbon dioxide and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) using additions of highly C-13-labelled PyOM (2.03 atom %) and its precursor pinewood during 1 year in a temperate forest soil. The field experiment was carried out under ambient and increased mineral N deposition (+60 kg N-NH4NO3 ha(-1) year(-1)). The results showed that after 1 year: (1) 0.5% of PyOM-C and 22% of wood-C were mineralized as CO2, leading to an estimated turnover time of 191 and 4 years, respectively; (2) the quantity of PyOM and wood lost as dissolved organic carbon was negligible (0.0004 +/- 0.0003% and 0.022 +/- 0.007 % of applied-C, respectively); and (3) N additions decreased cumulative PyOM mineralization by 43 %, but did not affect cumulative wood mineralization and did not affect the loss of DOC from PyOM or wood. We conclude that mineralization to CO2 was the main process leading to PyOM losses during the first year of mineralization in a forest soil, and that N addition can decrease PyOM-C cycling, while added N showed no effect on wood C cycling.

TI X-ray fluorescence mapping of mercury on suspended mineral particles and diatoms in a contaminated freshwater system SO BIOGEOSCIENCES LA English DT Article ID NATURAL ORGANIC-MATTER; ANOXIC ENVIRONMENTS; FULVIC-ACID; IRON-OXIDE; OAK-RIDGE; ADSORPTION; METHYLMERCURY; DESORPTION; SPECIATION; GOETHITE AB Mercury (Hg) bioavailability and geochemical cycling is affected by its partitioning between the aqueous and particulate phases. We applied a synchrotron-based Xray fluorescence (XRF) microprobe to visualize and quantify directly the spatial localization of Hg and its correlations with other elements of interest on suspended particles from a Hg-contaminated freshwater system. Up to 175 mu g g(-1) Hg is found on suspended particles, but less than 0.01% is in the form of methylmercury. Mercury is heterogeneously distributed among phytoplankton (e.g., diatoms) and mineral particles that are rich in iron oxides and natural organic matter (NOM). The diatom-bound Hg is mostly found on outer surfaces of the cells, suggesting passive sorption of Hg on diatoms. Our results indicate that localized sorption of Hg onto suspended particles, including diatoms and NOM-coated oxide minerals, may play an important role in affecting the partitioning, reactivity, and biogeochemical cycling of Hg in natural aquatic environments.

The microstructure produced was subsequently characterized using X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). While PbS nanocrystals of ca. 2 nm diameter are formed throughout the sample during the heat treatment, larger monodisperse Pb nanocrystals (diameter ca. 50 nm) are formed due to exposure to the X-ray beam, yielding space-selective nanoparticle growth. Time-resolved SAXS spectra are in the early stages consistent with diffusion-limited growth of the Pb particles. We attribute the X-ray-induced formation of nanocrystalline Pb to X-ray photoreduction of the Pb2+ atoms.

In the droplet based assembly, we form either 1D rail-tracks or 2D discs of aligned rods depending on the net charge. In the vial based approach, we demonstrate crystallisation of rods into perfectly faceted hexagons. Finally we use electrophoretic deposition to assemble the charged rods directly at the substrate interface to obtain thin-films consisting of 50 or more nanorod layers obtained with complete orientational order.

TI Post-Electrophoretic Deposition Electrochemical Separation (PEPDECS): Optimization of the Fabrication of Freestanding Carbon Nanotube Films SO ECS JOURNAL OF SOLID STATE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article ID CDSE NANOCRYSTAL FILMS; AC ELECTRIC-FIELDS; EMITTERS; EPD AB Scalable fabrication of freestanding carbon nanotube films (buckypapers) is of notable interest in nanotechnology due to emerging, real world applications for these lightweight and flexible materials. Post-electrophoretic deposition electrochemical separation (PEPDECS), a recently developed method for the scalable production of buckypapers, involves the electrophoretic deposition (EPD) of charged carbon nanotubes onto a flat substrate in a parallel-plate capacitor configuration, followed by a reversal of the direction of the electric field to detach the film. This study explored the characteristics of the deposition and liberation of the delaminated film, such as the applied voltage and the electrode size, in search of the optimum conditions for high quality buckypaper fabrication. Bubble formation on the film, due to the electrolysis of the suspension, increased as a function of the current density. The time required to delaminate a film completely from its underlying substrate was higher at higher initial current densities. Additionally, only when the applied EPD voltage was >= 2.8 V was the integrity of the buckypaper sufficient for them to be handled. The mechanical properties of the resulting films were examined to quantify their integrity. These experiments demonstrate the dependency of successful film fabrication on variable conditions during the initial EPD and provide a means to control the properties of the final films.

This was achieved by conducting a work domain analysis (WDA) for the system under consideration. Another purpose of this study was to describe how we adapted the WDA framework to include a sequential component and a means to explicitly represent relationships between components. Lastly, we present a simplified work domain representation that we have found effective in communicating the importance of analysts' adaptive strategies to inform the research strategies of computational science researchers who want to develop useful algorithms, but who have little or no familiarity with sensor data analysis work.

We were asked to evaluate the current system analysis process and make recommendations for a future temporal geospatial analysis prototype that is envisioned to allow analysts to quickly search for temporal and spatial relationships between image-derived features. As such, we conducted a Hierarchical task analysis (HTA; [3], [6]) to understand the analysts' tasks and subtasks. We also implemented a timeline analysis and workload assessment [4] to better understand which tasks were the most time-consuming and perceived as the most effortful. Our results gave the team clear recommendations and requirements for a prototype. C1 [Stevens-Adams, Susan; Cole, Kerstan; McNamara, Laura] Sandia Natl Labs, Albuquerque, NM 87185 USA.

The solver computes the atmospheric boundary layer flow and models turbines with actuator lines. Until recently, the solver was limited to flows over flat terrain and could only use the standard Smagorinsky subgrid-scale model. In this work, we present our improvements to the flow solver that enable us to 1) use any OpenFOAM-standard subgrid-scale model and 2) simulate flow over complex terrain. We used the flow solver to compute a stably stratified atmospheric boundary layer using both the standard and the Lagrangian-averaged scale-independent dynamic Smagorinsky models. Surprisingly, the results using the standard Smagorinsky model compare well to other researchers' results of the same case, although it is often said that the standard Smagorinsky model is too dissipative for accurate stable stratification calculations. The scale-independent dynamic subgrid-scale model produced poor results, probably due to the spikes in model constant with values as high as 4.6. We applied a simple bounding of the model constant to remove these spikes, which caused the model to produce results much more in line with other researchers' results. We also computed flow over a simple hilly terrain and performed some basic qualitative analysis to verify the proper operation of the terrain-local surface stress model we employed.

Six copper(II) coordination compounds of various nuclearities have been obtained from these ligands, which are formulated as [Cu(L1)Cl](CH3OH) (1), [Cu(L2)NO3] (2), [Cu-2(L3)(ClO4)(2)(CH3O)(CH3OH)](CH3OH) (3), [Cu-2(L4)(ClO4)(OH)(CH3OH)](ClO4) (4), [Cu-8(L3)(4)(NO3)(4)(OH)(5)](NO3)(3)(CH3OH)(5)(H2O)(8) (5) and [Cu-3(HL2')(4)Cl-6](CH3OH)(6) (6), as revealed by single-crystal X-ray studies. Their DNA-interacting abilities have been investigated using different characterization techniques, which suggest that the metal complexes act as efficient DNA binders. Moreover, cytotoxicity assays with several cancer cell lines show that some of them are very active, as evidenced by the sub-micromolar IC50 values achieved in some cases.

These proteins contain metal binding sites for copper, zinc and iron and are known to have physiological roles in modulating the metal homeostasis in brain cells. Here we report the application of X-ray fluorescence microscopy (XFM) to investigate the subcellular distribution patterns of the metal ions Cu, Zn, Fe, and Ca in individual neurons derived from APP and APLP2 knockout mice brains to further define their role in metal homeostasis. These studies add to the growing body of data that the APP family of proteins are metalloproteins that have shared as well as distinct effects on metals. As we continue to delineate the cellular effects of the APP family of proteins it is important to consider how metals are involved in their actions.

For this purpose, we have designed model miniature all solid-state radial heterostructure Li-ion batteries composed of LiCoO2 cathode, LiPON electrolyte and amorphous Si anode shells, which were deposited around metallized high-aspect-ratio Si nanowires as a scaffolding core. Such diagnostic batteries, the smallest, complete secondary Li-ion batteries realized to date, were specifically designed for in situ electrical testing in a field-emission scanning electron microscope and/or transmission electron microscope. The results of electrochemical testing were described in detail in a previous publication (Nano Lett., 2012, 12, 505-511). The model Li-ion batteries allow analysis of the correlations between electrochemical properties and their structural evolution during cycling in various imaging, diffraction and spectroscopic modes down to the atomic level. Employing multimode analytical scanning/transmission electron microscopy imaging coupled with correlative multivariate statistical analysis and tomography, we have analyzed and quantified the 3D morphological and structural arrangement of the batteries, including textured platelet-like LiCoO2 nanocrystallites, buried electrode-electrolyte interfaces and hidden internal defects to clarify effects of scaling on a battery's electrochemical performance. Characterization of the nanoscale interfacial processes using model heterostructure nanowire-based Li-ion batteries provides useful guidelines for engineering of prospective nano-sized building blocks in future electrochemical energy storage systems.

The effect of element identity and alloying in surface-bound neutral subnanometre clusters is determined by energetic comparison between all compositions of PdnAg(4-n) and PdnPt(4-n). While the binding strengths to the surface increase in the order Pt > Pd > Ag, the excess energy profiles suggest a preference for mixed clusters for both cases. The binding of CO is also modelled, showing that the adsorption site can be predicted solely by electrophilicity. Comparison to CO binding on a single metal atom shows a reversal of the 5 sigma-d activation process for clusters, weakening the cluster-surface interaction on CO adsorption. Charge localisation determines homotop, CO binding and surface site preferences. The electronic behaviour, which is intermediate between molecular and metallic particles allows for tunable features in the subnanometre size range.

Using an epoxy-based photoresist, SU-8, as substrate, the piezoresistive type sensor is flexible, robust, and easy to fabricate in mass. Sensor characteristic tests indicate adequate sensitivity and linearity, and the multiple sensor elements can match full range of surgical tissue stiffness. Such characteristic nearly match the most delicate sense of touch at the human fingertip. It is expected such a sensor is essential for delicate surgeries, such as handling delicate tissues and microsurgery.

Calcagno, Jimmy Yun, Jeongran TI Development of a Short-Duration Drive Cycle to Represent Long-Term Measured Drive Cycle Data Evaluation of Truck Efficiency Technologies in Class 8 Tractor Trailers SO TRANSPORTATION RESEARCH RECORD LA English DT Article AB Quantifying the fuel savings and emissions reductions that can be achieved from truck fuel efficiency technologies for a fleet's specific usage allows the fleet to select a combination of technologies that will yield the greatest operational efficiency and profitability. An accurate characterization of usage for the fleet is critical for such an evaluation; however, short-term measured drive cycle data do not generally reflect overall usage very effectively. This paper presents a detailed analysis of vehicle usage in a commercial vehicle fleet and demonstrates the development of a short-duration synthetic drive cycle with measured drive cycle data collected over an extended period of time. The approach matched statistical measures of the vehicle speed with acceleration history and integrated measured grade data to develop a compressed drive cycle that accurately represents total usage. Drive cycle measurements obtained during a full year from six tractor trailers in normal operations in a less-than-truckload carrier were analyzed to develop a synthetic drive cycle. The vehicle mass was also estimated to account for the variation of loads that the fleet experienced. These drive cycle and mass data were analyzed with a tractive energy analysis to quantify the benefits in terms of fuel efficiency and reduced carbon dioxide emissions that can be achieved on Class 8 tractor trailers by using advanced efficiency technologies, either individually or in combination. Although differences exist between Class 8 tractor trailer fleets, this study provides valuable insight into the energy and emissions reduction potential that various technologies can bring in this important trucking application. The methodology employed for generating the synthetic drive cycle serves as a rigorous approach to develop an accurate usage characterization that can be used to effectively compress large quantities of drive cycle data.

After the second long shutdown of the LHC, the ALICE Experiment will be upgraded to make high precision measurements of rare probes at low PT, which cannot be selected with a trigger, and therefore require a very large sample of events recorded on tape. The online computing system will be completely redesigned to address the major challenge of sampling the full 50 kHz Pb-Pb interaction rate increasing the present limit by a factor of 100. This upgrade will also include the continuous un-triggered read-out of two detectors: ITS (Inner Tracking System) and TPC (Time Projection Chamber)) producing a sustained throughput of 1 TB/s. This unprecedented data rate will be reduced by adopting an entirely new strategy where calibration and reconstruction are performed online, and only the reconstruction results are stored while the raw data are discarded. This system, already demonstrated in production on the TPC data since 2011, will be optimized for the online usage of reconstruction algorithms. This implies much tighter coupling between online and offline computing systems. An R&D program has been set up to meet this huge challenge. The object of this paper is to present this program and its first results. C1 [Betev, L.; Buncic, P.; Carena, F.; Carena, W.; Chapeland, S.; Barroso, V. Chibante; Cliff, F.; Costa, F.; Mendez, L.

GP IOP TI User Centric Job Monitoring - a redesign and novel approach in the STAR experiment SO 20TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTING IN HIGH ENERGY AND NUCLEAR PHYSICS (CHEP2013), PARTS 1-6 SE Journal of Physics Conference Series LA English DT Proceedings Paper CT 20th International Conference on Computing in High Energy and Nuclear Physics (CHEP) CY OCT 14-18, 2013 CL Amsterdam, NETHERLANDS AB User Centric Monitoring (or UCM) has been a long awaited feature in STAR, whereas programs, workflows and system "events" could be logged, broadcast and later analyzed. UCM allows to collect and filter available job monitoring information from various resources and present it to users in a user-centric view rather than an administrative-centric point of view. The first attempt and implementation of "a" UCM approach was made in STAR 2004 using a log4cxx plug-in back-end and then further evolved with an attempt to push toward a scalable database back-end (2006) and finally using aWeb-Service approach (2010, CSW4DB SBIR). The latest showed to be incomplete and not addressing the evolving needs of the experiment where streamlined messages for online (data acquisition) purposes as well as the continuous support for the data mining needs and event analysis need to coexists and unified in a seamless approach. The code also revealed to be hardly maintainable. This paper presents the next evolutionary step of the UCM toolkit, a redesign and redirection of our latest attempt acknowledging and integrating recent technologies and a simpler, maintainable and yet scalable manner. The extended version of the job logging package is built upon three-tier approach based on Task, Job and Event, and features a Web-Service based logging API, a responsive AJAX-powered user interface, and a database back-end relying on MongoDB, which is uniquely suited for STAR needs. In addition, we present details of integration of this logging package with the STAR offline and online software frameworks. Leveraging on the reported experience and work from the ATLAS and CMS experience on using the ESPER engine, we discuss and show how such approach has been implemented in STAR for meta-data event triggering stream processing and filtering. An ESPER based solution seems to fit well into the online data acquisition system where many systems are monitored. C1 [Arkhipkin, D.; Lauret, J.] Brookhaven Natl Lab, Dept Phys, Upton, NY 11973 USA.

GP IOP TI Design and performance of the virtualization platform for offline computing on the ATLAS TDAQ Farm SO 20TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTING IN HIGH ENERGY AND NUCLEAR PHYSICS (CHEP2013), PARTS 1-6 SE Journal of Physics Conference Series LA English DT Proceedings Paper CT 20th International Conference on Computing in High Energy and Nuclear Physics (CHEP) CY OCT 14-18, 2013 CL Amsterdam, NETHERLANDS AB With the LHC collider at CERN currently going through the period of Long Shutdown 1 there is an opportunity to use the computing resources of the experiments' large trigger farms for other data processing activities. In the case of the ATLAS experiment, the TDAQ farm, consisting of more than 1500 compute nodes, is suitable for running Monte Carlo (MC) production jobs that are mostly CPU and not I/O bound. This contribution gives a thorough review of the design and deployment of a virtualized platform running on this computing resource and of its use to run large groups of CernVM based virtual machines operating as a single CERN-P1 WLCG site. This platform has been designed to guarantee the security and the usability of the ATLAS private network, and to minimize interference with TDAQ's usage of the farm. Openstack has been chosen to provide a cloud management layer. The experience gained in the last 3.5 months shows that the use of the TDAQ farm for the MC simulation contributes to the ATLAS data processing at the level of a large Tier-1 WLCG site, despite the opportunistic nature of the underlying computing resources being used.

This unique resource has been employed for a range of purposes, from monitoring, statistics, anomaly detection, and integrity checking, to event picking, subset selection, and sample extraction. Recent years of data-taking provide a foundation for assessment of how this resource has and has not been used in practice, of the uses for which it should be optimized, of how it should be deployed and provisioned for scalability to future data volumes, and of the areas in which enhancements to functionality would be most valuable. This paper describes how ATLAS event-level information repositories and selection infrastructure are evolving in light of this experience, and in view of their expected roles both in wide-area event delivery services and in an evolving ATLAS analysis model in which the importance of efficient selective access to data can only grow.

In particular, high-energy physics experiments currently in operation produce several billion events per year. A database with the references to the files including each event in every stage of processing is necessary in order to retrieve the selected events from data storage systems. The ATLAS Event Index project is studying the best way to store the necessary information using modern data storage technologies (Hadoop, HBase etc.) that allow saving in memory key-value pairs and select the best tools to support this application from the point of view of performance, robustness and ease of use.

The first one simply starts fetching a whole file as soon as a file open request is received and is suitable when completely random file access is expected or it is already known that a whole file be read. The second implementation supports on-demand downloading of partial files. Extensions to the Hadoop Distributed File System have been developed to allow for an immediate fallback to network access when local HDFS storage fails to provide the requested block. Both cache implementations are in pre-production testing at UCSD. C1 [Bauerdick, L. A. T.] Fermilab Natl Accelerator Lab, Batavia, IL 60510 USA.

It is necessary to provide a mechanism for OSG Virtual Organizations to install software at sites. Since its initial release, the OSG Compute Element has provided an application software installation directory to Virtual Organizations, where they can create their own sub-directory, install software into that sub-directory, and have the directory shared on the worker nodes at that site. The current model has shortcomings with regard to permissions, policies, versioning, and the lack of a unified, collective procedure or toolset for deploying software across all sites. Therefore, a new mechanism for data and software distributing is desirable. The architecture for the OSG Application Software Installation Service (OASIS) is a server-client model: the software and data are installed only once in a single place, and are automatically distributed to all client sites simultaneously. Central file distribution offers other advantages, including server-side authentication and authorization, activity records, quota management, data validation and inspection, and welldefined versioning and deletion policies. The architecture, as well as a complete analysis of the current implementation, will be described in this paper. C1 [Bockelman, B.] Univ Nebraska, Lincoln, NE 68588 USA. [Bejar, J.

FIFE-jobsub eases the burden on experimenters by integrating data transfer and site selection details in an easy to use and well-documented format. FIFE-jobsub automates tedious details of maintaining grid proxies for the lifetime of the grid job. Data transfer is handled using the Intensity Frontier Data Handling Client (IFDHC) [1] tool suite, which facilitates selecting the appropriate data transfer method from many possibilities while protecting shared resources from overload. Chaining of job dependencies into Directed Acyclic Graphs (Condor DAGS) is well supported and made easier through the use of input flags and parameters.

Simulating events of energetic particle decay in a general-purpose high energy physics (HEP) detector requires intensive computing resources, due to the complexity of the geometry as well as physics processes applied to particles copiously produced by primary collisions and secondary interactions. The recent advent of hardware architectures of many-core or accelerated processors provides the variety of concurrent programming models applicable not only for the high performance parallel computing, but also for the conventional computing intensive application such as the HEP detector simulation. The components of our prototype are a transportation process under a non-uniform magnetic field, geometry navigation with a set of solid shapes and materials, electromagnetic physics processes for electrons and photons, and an interface to a framework that dispatches bundles of tracks in a highly vectorized manner optimizing for spatial locality and throughput. Core algorithms and methods are excerpted from the Geant4 toolkit, and are modified and optimized for the GPU application. Program kernels written in C/C++ are designed to be compatible with CUDA and OpenCL and with the aim to be generic enough for easy porting to future programming models and hardware architectures. To improve throughput by overlapping data transfers with kernel execution, multiple CUDA streams are used. Issues with floating point accuracy, random numbers generation, data structure, kernel divergences and register spills are also considered. Performance evaluation for the relative speedup compared to the corresponding sequential execution on CPU is presented as well. C1 [Canal, P.; Elvira, D.; Jun, S.

The facility originated in 1990 and grew steadily up to the present configuration with 4 physically isolated IT areas with the maximum rack capacity of about 1000 racks and the total peak power consumption of 1.5 MW. In June 2012 a project was initiated with the primary goal to replace several environmental monitoring systems deployed earlier within RACF with a single commercial hardware and software solution by SynapSense Corporation based on wireless sensor groups and proprietary SynapSense (TM) MapSense (TM) software that offers a unified solution for monitoring the temperature and humidity within the rack/CRAC units as well as pressure distribution underneath the raised floor across the entire facility. The deployment was completed successfully in 2013. The new system also supports a set of additional features such as capacity planning based on measurements of total heat load, power consumption monitoring and control, CRAC unit power consumption optimization based on feedback from the temperature measurements and overall power usage efficiency estimations that are not currently implemented within RACF but may be deployed in the future.

Being the major component of ATLAS software infrastructure, it supports more than 50 multi-platform branches of nightly releases and provides ample opportunities for testing new packages, for verifying patches to existing software, and for migrating to new platforms and compilers. The Nightly System testing framework runs several hundred integration tests of different granularity and purpose. The nightly releases are distributed and validated, and some are transformed into stable releases used for data processing worldwide. The first LHC long shutdown (2013-2015) activities will elicit increased load on the Nightly System as additional releases and builds are needed to exploit new programming techniques, languages, and profiling tools. This paper describes the plan of the ATLAS Nightly Build System Long Shutdown upgrade. It brings modern database and web technologies into the Nightly System, improves monitoring of nightly build results, and provides new tools for offline release shifters.

Databases are a vital part of the whole ADC system. The Oracle Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) has been addressing a majority of the ADC database requirements for many years. Much expertise was gained through the years and without a doubt will be used as a good foundation for the next generation PanDA (Production ANd Distributed Analysis) and DDM (Distributed Data Management) systems. In this paper we present the current production ADC database solutions and notably the planned changes on the PanDA system, and the next generation ATLAS DDM system called Rucio. Significant work was performed on studying different solutions to arrive at the best relational and physical database model for performance and scalability in order to be ready for deployment and operation in 2014.

CVMFS has since its early days required digital signatures and secure hashes on all distributed data, and recently Frontier has added X.509-based authenticity and integrity checking. In this paper we detail and compare the security models of CVMFS and Frontier. C1 [Dykstra, D.] Fermilab Natl Accelerator Lab, Div Comp Sci, Batavia, IL 60510 USA.

Discussions on appropriate usage of cloud resources (both academic and commercial) and costs have ensued. This presentation discusses a detailed analysis of the costs of operating and maintaining the RACF (RHIC and ATLAS Computing Facility) compute cluster at Brookhaven National Lab and compares them with the cost of cloud computing resources under various usage scenarios. An extrapolation of likely future cost effectiveness of dedicated computing resources is also presented.

Given the scale of the problem, both from a technical and a human point of view, being able to keep on track such a large project, bug free, and to deliver builds for different architectures is a challenge in itself. Moreover the challenges posed by the future migration of CMSSW to multithreading also require adapting and improving our QA tools. We present the work done in the last two years in our build and integration infrastructure, particularly in the form of improvements to our build tools, in the simplification and extensibility of our build infrastructure and the new features added to our QA and profiling tools. Finally we present our plans for the future directions for code management and how this reflects on our workflows and the underlying software infrastructure.

To support its mission, the high-energy physics community as a pioneer in Big Data has always been relying on the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory to be at the forefront of storage and data movement. This need was reiterated in recent years with the data-taking rate of the major LHC experiments reaching tens of petabytes per year. At Fermilab, this resulted regularly in peaks of data movement on the Wide area network (WAN) in and out of the laboratory of about 30 Gbit/s and on the Local are network (LAN) between storage and computational farms of 160 Gbit/s. To address these ever increasing needs, as of this year Fermilab is connected to the Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) through a 100 Gb/s link. To understand the optimal system-and application-level configuration to interface computational systems with the new highspeed interconnect, Fermilab has deployed a Network Research & Development facility connected to the ESnet 100G Testbed. For the past two years, the High Throughput Data Program (HTDP) has been using the Testbed to identify gaps in data movement middleware [5] when transferring data at these high-speeds. The program has published evaluations of technologies typically used in High Energy Physics, such as GridFTP [4], XrootD [9], and Squid [8]. This work presents the new R&D facility and the continuation of the evaluation program.

While the cost of SSDs has been steadily declining over the past few years, high density SSDs continue to remain prohibitively expensive when compared to traditional drives. Currently, 1 TB SSDs generally cost more than USD $1,000, while 1 TB SATA drives typically retail for under USD $100. With ever-increasing x86_64 server CPU core counts, and therefore job slot counts, local scratch space density and random I/O performance have become even more important for HEP/NP applications. Flashcache and Bcache are Linux kernel modules which implement caching of SATA/SAS hard drive data on SSDs, effectively allowing one to create hybrid SSD drives using software. In this paper, we discuss our experience with Flashcache and Bcache, and the effects of this software on local scratch storage performance.

GP IOP TI Re-designing the PhEDEx Security Model SO 20TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTING IN HIGH ENERGY AND NUCLEAR PHYSICS (CHEP2013), PARTS 1-6 SE Journal of Physics Conference Series LA English DT Proceedings Paper CT 20th International Conference on Computing in High Energy and Nuclear Physics (CHEP) CY OCT 14-18, 2013 CL Amsterdam, NETHERLANDS AB PhEDEx, the data-placement tool used by the CMS experiment at the LHC, was conceived in a more trusting time. The security model provided a safe environment for site agents and operators, but offerred little more protection than that. Data was not sufficiently protected against loss caused by operator error or software bugs or by deliberate manipulation of the database. Operators were given high levels of access to the database, beyond what was actually needed to accomplish their tasks. This exposed them to the risk of suspicion should an incident occur. Multiple implementations of the security model led to difficulties maintaining code, which can lead to degredation of security over time. In order to meet the simultaneous goals of protecting CMS data, protecting the operators from undue exposure to risk, increasing monitoring capabilities and improving maintainability of the security model, the PhEDEx security model was redesigned and re-implemented. Security was moved from the application layer into the database itself, fine-grained access roles were established, and tools and procedures created to control the evolution of the security model over time. In this paper we describe this work, we describe the deployment of the new security model, and we show how these enhancements improve security on several fronts simultaneously.

GP IOP TI Request for All - A Generalized Request Framework for PhEDEx SO 20TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTING IN HIGH ENERGY AND NUCLEAR PHYSICS (CHEP2013), PARTS 1-6 SE Journal of Physics Conference Series LA English DT Proceedings Paper CT 20th International Conference on Computing in High Energy and Nuclear Physics (CHEP) CY OCT 14-18, 2013 CL Amsterdam, NETHERLANDS AB PhEDEx has been serving CMS community since 2004 as the data broker. Every PhEDEx operation is initiated by a request, e.g. request to move or to delete data, and so on. A request has it own life cycle, including creation, approval, notification, and book keeping and the details depend on its type. Currently, only two kinds of requests, transfer and deletion, are fully integrated in PhEDEx. They are tailored specifically to the operations' workflows. To be able to serve a new type of request it generally means a fair amount of development work. After several many years of operation, we have gathered enough experience to rethink the request handling in PhEDEx. Generalized Request Project is set to abstract such experience and design a request system which is not tied into current workflow yet it is general enough to accommodate current and future requests. The challenges are dealing with different stages in a request's life cycle, complexity of approval process and complexity of the ability and authority associated with each role in the context of the request. We start with a high level abstraction driven by a deterministic finite automata, followed by a formal description and handling of approval process, followed by a set of tools that make such system friendly to the users. Since we have a formal way to describe the life of a request and a mechanism to systematically handle it, to serve a new kind of request is merely a configuration issue, adding the description of the new request rather than development effort. In this paper, we share the design and implementation of a generalized request framework and the experience of taking an existing serving system through a re-design and re-deployment.

SAM was originally used by the CDF and D0 experiments for Run II of the Fermilab Tevatron to provide file metadata and location cataloguing, uploading of new files to tape storage, dataset management, file transfers between global processing sites, and processing history tracking. However SAM was heavily tailored to the Run II environment and required complex and hard to deploy client software, which made it hard to adapt to new experiments. The Fermilab Computing Sector has progressively updated SAM to use modern, standardized, technologies in order to more easily deploy it for current and upcoming Fermilab experiments, and to support the data preservation efforts of the Run II experiments.

A Virtual Organization that relies on opportunistic storage has difficulties finding appropriate storage, verifying its availability, and monitoring its utilization. The involvement of the production manager, site administrators and VO support personnel is required to allocate or rescind storage space. One of the main requirements for Public Storage implementation is that it should use SRM or GridFTP protocols to access the Storage Elements provided by the OSG Sites and not put any additional burden on sites. By policy, no new services related to Public Storage can be installed and run on OSG sites. Opportunistic users also have difficulties in accessing the OSG Storage Elements during the execution of jobs. A typical users' data management workflow includes pre-staging common data on sites before a job's execution, then storing for a subsequent download to a local institution the output data produced by a job on a worker node. When the amount of data is significant, the only means to temporarily store the data is to upload it to one of the Storage Elements. In order to do that, a user's job should be aware of the storage location, availability, and free space. After a successful data upload, users must somehow keep track of the data's location for future access. In this presentation we propose solutions for storage management and data handling issues in the OSG. We are investigating the feasibility of using the integrated Rule-Oriented Data System developed at RENCI as a front-end service to the OSG SEs. The current architecture, state of deployment and performance test results will be discussed. We will also provide examples of current usage of the system by beta-users.

One of the crucial components of a cyber-infrastructure is an accounting service that collects data related to resource utilization and identity of users using resources. The accounting service is important for verifying pledged resource allocation per particular groups and users, providing reports for funding agencies and resource providers, and understanding hardware provisioning requirements. It can also be used for end-to-end troubleshooting as well as billing purposes. In this work we describe Gratia, a federated accounting service jointly developed at Fermilab and Holland Computing Center at University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The Open Science Grid, Fermilab, HCC, and several other institutions have used Gratia in production for several years. The current development activities include expanding Virtual Machines provisioning information, XSEDE allocation usage accounting, and Campus Grids resource utilization.

We present our work porting the purely MPI-based version of the code to a hybrid of CPU and GPU computing kernels. The hybrid code uses the CUDA platform in the same framework as the pure MPI solution. We have implemented a lock-free collaborative charge-deposition algorithm for the GPU, as well as other optimizations, including local communication avoidance for GPUs, a customized FFT, and fine-tuned memory access patterns. On a small GPU cluster (up to 4 Tesla C1070 GPUs), our benchmarks exhibit both superior peak performance and better scaling than a CPU cluster with 16 nodes and 128 cores. We also compare the code performance on different GPU architectures, including C1070 Tesla and K20 Kepler.

IFDH encompasses moving input data from caches or storage elements to compute nodes (the "last mile" of data movement) and moving output data potentially to those caches as part of the journey back to the user. IFDH also involves throttling and locking to ensure that large numbers of jobs do not cause data movement bottlenecks. IFDH, is realized as an easy to use layer that users call in their.job scripts (e.g. "ifdh cp"), hiding the low level daCt movement took. One adwtntage of this layer is that the underlying low level tools can be selected or changed without the need for the user to alter their scripts. Logging and performance monitoring can also be added easily. This system will be presented in detail as well as its impact on the ease of data handling at Fermilab experiments.

PanDA was designed specifically for ATLAS and proved to be highly successful in meeting all the distributed computing needs of the experiment. However, the core design of PanDA is not experiment specific. The PanDA workload management system is capable of meeting the needs of other data intensive scientific applications. Alpha-Magnetic Spectrometer [4], an astro-particle experiment on the International Space Station, and the Compact Muon Solenoid [5], an LHC experiment, have successfully evaluated PanDA and are pursuing its adoption. In this paper, a description of the new program of work to develop a generic version of PanDA will be given, as well as the progress in extending PanDA's capabilities to support supercomputers and clouds and to leverage intelligent networking. PanDA has demonstrated at a very large scale the value of automated dynamic brokering of diverse workloads across distributed computing resources. The next generation of PanDA will allow other data-intensive sciences and a wider exascale community employing a variety of computing platforms to benefit from ATLAS' experience and proven tools.

ATLAS has adopted two independent methods for modeling pile-up and its effect on analyses. The first is a bottom-up approach, using a detailed simulation of the detector to recreate each component of the pile-up background. The second uses specially recorded data events to emulate it. This article reports on the experience using both of these methods, including performance considerations, for simulating pile-up in ATLAS.

Scientific computing has influenced how science is done today, achieving breakthroughs that were impossible to achieve several decades ago. For the past decade several such communities in the Open Science Grid (OSG) and the European Grid Infrastructure (EGI) have been using GlideinWMS to run complex application workflows to effectively share computational resources over the grid. GlideinWMS is a pilot-based workload management system (WMS) that creates on demand, a dynamically sized overlay HTCondor batch system on grid resources. At present, the computational resources shared over the grid are just adequate to sustain the computing needs. We envision that the complexity of the science driven by "Big Data" will further push the need for computational resources. To fulfill their increasing demands and/or to run specialized workflows, some of the big communities like CMS are investigating the use of cloud computing as Infrastructure-As-A-Service (IAAS) with GlideinWMS as a potential alternative to fill the void. Similarly, communities with no previous access to computing resources can use GlideinWMS to setup up a batch system on the cloud infrastructure. To enable this, the architecture of GlideinWMS has been extended to enable support for interfacing GlideinWMS with different Scientific and commercial cloud providers like HLT, FutureGrid, FermiCloud and Amazon EC2. In this paper, we describe a solution for cloud bursting with GlideinWMS. The paper describes the approach, architectural changes and lessons learned while enabling support for cloud infrastructures in GlideinWMS.

The experiment measures neutrino and anti-neutrino interactions from the NuMI beam line at Fermilab in a Near Detector and a Far Detector located 810 kilometers away. Making these measurements requires precise synchronization of 344,064 channels in the Far Detector to an absolute wall time with a channel to channel variation of less then 10 ns. The experiment must correlate the presence of the relatively narrow neutrino beam in the detector with data readout. This paper will discuss the performance of the NOvA timing system during the first few months of operation at the Far Detector.

One of the challenges, from the software point of view, is managing upgrade simulations with the same software release as the 2013 scenario. We present the CMS geometry description software model, its integration with the CMS event setup and core software. The CMS geometry configuration and selection is implemented in Python. The tools collect the Python configuration fragments into a script used in CMS workflow. This flexible and automated geometry configuration allows choosing either transient or persistent version of the same scenario and specific version of the same scenario. We describe how the geometries are integrated and validated, and how we define and handle different geometry scenarios in simulation and reconstruction. We discuss how to transparently manage multiple incompatible geometries in the same software release. Several examples are shown based on current implementation assuring consistent choice of scenario conditions. The consequences and implications for multiple/different code algorithms are discussed.

However, new cloud computing technologies bring attractive features to improve the operations and elasticity of scientific distributed computing. ATLAS sees grid and cloud computing as complementary technologies that will coexist at different levels of resource abstraction, and two years ago created an R&D working group to investigate the different integration scenarios. The ATLAS Cloud Computing R&D has been able to demonstrate the feasibility of offloading work from grid to cloud sites and, as of today, is able to integrate transparently various cloud resources into the PanDA workload management system. The ATLAS Cloud Computing R&D is operating various PanDA queues on private and public resources and has provided several hundred thousand CPU days to the experiment. As a result, the ATLAS Cloud Computing R&D group has gained a significant insight into the cloud computing landscape and has identified points that still need to be addressed in order to fully utilize this technology. This contribution will explain the cloud integration models that are being evaluated and will discuss ATLAS' learning during the collaboration with leading commercial and academic cloud providers.

The publication of ISO/IEC 14882:2011, the current version of the international standard for the C++ programming language, makes available a variety of language and library facilities for improving the robustness, expressiveness, and computational efficiency of C++ code. However, much of the C++ written by the experimental HEP community does not take advantage of the features of the language to obtain these benefits, either due to lack of familiarity with these features or concern that these features must somehow be computationally inefficient. In this paper, we address some of the features of modern C++, and show how they can be used to make programs that are both robust and computationally efficient. We compare and contrast simple yet realistic examples of some common implementation patterns in C, currently-typical C++, and modern C++, and show (when necessary, down to the level of generated assembly language code) the quality of the executable code produced by recent C++ compilers, with the aim of allowing the HEP community to make informed decisions on the costs and benefits of the use of modern C++.

Storage accounting and monitoring help to meet the challenges of storage management, such as efficient space utilization, fair share between users and groups and resource planning. We present a newly developed CMS space monitoring system based on the storage metadata dumps produced at the sites. The information extracted from the storage dumps is aggregated and uploaded to a central database. A web based data service is provided to retrieve the information for a given time interval and a range of sites, so it can be further aggregated and presented in the desired format. The system has been designed based on the analysis of CMS monitoring requirements and experiences of the other LHC experiments.

The ADC Monitoring targets at the three groups of customers: ADC Operations team to early identify malfunctions and escalate issues to an activity or a service expert, ATLAS national contacts and sites for the real-time monitoring and long-term measurement of the performance of the provided computing resources, and the ATLAS Management for long-term trends and accounting information about the ATLAS Distributed Computing resources. During the LHC Run I a significant development effort has been invested in standardization of the monitoring and accounting applications in order to provide extensive monitoring and accounting suite. ADC Monitoring applications separate the data layer and the visualization layer. The data layer exposes data in a predefined format. The visualization layer is designed bearing in mind visual identity of the provided graphical elements, and re-usability of the visualization bits across the different tools. A rich family of various filtering and searching options enhancing available user interfaces comes naturally with the data and visualization layer separation. With a variety of reliable monitoring data accessible through standardized interfaces, the possibility of automating actions under well defined conditions correlating multiple data sources has become feasible. In this contribution we discuss also about the automated exclusion of degraded resources and their automated recovery in various activities.

To better serve this community, in 2004, the (then) Computing Division undertook the strategy of placing all of the High Throughput Computing (HTC) resources in a Campus Grid known as Fermi Grid, supported by common shared services. In 2007, the Fermi Grid Services group deployed a service infrastructure that utilized Xen virtualization, LVS network routing and MySQL circular replication to deliver highly available services that offered significant performance, reliability and serviceability improvements. This deployment was further enhanced through the deployment of a distributed redundant network core architecture and the physical distribution of the systems that host the virtual machines across multiple buildings on the Fermi lab Campus In 2010, building on the experience pioneered by Fermi Grid in delivering production services in a virtual infrastructure, the Computing Sector commissioned the Fermi Cloud, General Physics Computing Facility and Virtual Services projects to serve as platforms for support of scientific computing (Fermi Cloud & GPCF) and core computing (Virtual Services).

These include real-time back navigation to upstream processing stages, externalizable data object references, navigation from any data object to any other both within a single file and across files, and more. The 2013-2014 shutdown of the Large Hadron Collider provides an opportunity to enhance this infrastructure in several ways that both extend these capabilities and allow the collaboration to better exploit emerging computing platforms. Enhancements include redesign with efficient file merging in mind, content-based indices in optimized reference types, and support for forward references. The latter provide the potential to construct valid references to data before those data are written, a capability that is useful in a variety of multithreading, multiprocessing, distributed processing, and deferred processing scenarios. This paper describes the architecture and design of the next generation of ATLAS navigational infrastructure. C1 [van Gemmeren, P.; Malon, D.] Argonne Natl Lab, Argonne, IL 60439 USA.

In reprocessing on the Grid, failures can occur for a variety of reasons, while Grid heterogeneity makes failures hard to diagnose and repair quickly. As a result, Big Data processing on the Grid must tolerate a continuous stream of failures, errors and faults. While ATLAS fault-tolerance mechanisms improve the reliability of Big Data processing in the Grid, their benefits come at costs and result in delays making the performance prediction difficult. Reliability Engineering provides a framework for fundamental understanding of the Big Data processing on the Grid, which is not a desirable enhancement but a necessary requirement. In ATLAS, cost monitoring and performance prediction became critical for the success of the reprocessing campaigns conducted in preparation for the major physics conferences. In addition, our Reliability Engineering approach supported continuous improvements in data reprocessing throughput during LHC data taking. The throughput doubled in 2011 vs. 2010 reprocessing, then quadrupled in 2012 vs. 2011 reprocessing. We present the Reliability Engineering analysis of ATLAS data reprocessing campaigns providing the foundation needed to scale up the Big Data processing technologies beyond the petascale.

GP IOP TI The STAR "plug and play" event generator framework SO 20TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTING IN HIGH ENERGY AND NUCLEAR PHYSICS (CHEP2013), PARTS 1-6 SE Journal of Physics Conference Series LA English DT Proceedings Paper CT 20th International Conference on Computing in High Energy and Nuclear Physics (CHEP) CY OCT 14-18, 2013 CL Amsterdam, NETHERLANDS AB The STAR experiment pursues a broad range of physics topics in pp, pA and AA collisions produced by the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). Such a diverse experimental program demands a simulation framework capable of supporting an equally diverse set of event generators, and a flexible event record capable of storing the (common) particle-wise and (varied) event-wise information provided by the external generators. With planning underway for the next round of upgrades to exploit ep and eA collisions from the electron-ion collider (or eRHIC), these demands on the simulation infrastructure will only increase and requires a versatile framework. STAR has developed a new event-generator framework based on the best practices in the community (a survey of existing approach had been made and the "best of all worlds" kept in mind in our design). It provides a common set of base classes which establish the interface between event generators and the simulation and handles most of the bookkeeping associated with a simulation run. This streamlines the process of integrating and configuring an event generator within our software chain. Developers implement two classes: the interface for their event generator, and their event record. They only need to loop over all particles in their event and push them out into the event record. The framework is responsible for vertex assignment, stacking the particles out for simulation, and event persistency. Events from multiple generators can be merged together seamlessly, with an event record which is capable of tracing each particle back to its parent generator. We present our work and approach in detail and illustrate its usefulness by providing examples of event generators implemented within the STAR framework covering for very diverse physics topics. We will also discuss support for event filtering, allowing users to prune the event record of particles which are outside of our acceptance, and/or abort events prior to the more computationally expensive digitization and reconstruction phases. Event filtering has been supported in the previous framework and showed to save enormous amount of resources -the approach within the new framework is a generalization of filtering.

AgML establishes a level of abstraction, decoupling the definition of the detector from the software libraries used to create the concrete geometry model. Thus, AgML allows us to support both our legacy GEANT 3 simulation application and our ROOT/TGeo based reconstruction software from a single source, which is demonstrably self-consistent. While AgML was developed primarily as a tool to migrate away from our legacy FORTRAN-era geometry codes, it also provides a rich syntax geared towards the rapid development of detector models. AgML has been successfully employed by users to quickly develop and integrate the descriptions of several new detectors in the RHIC/STAR experiment including the Forward GEM Tracker (FGT) and Heavy Flavor Tracker (HFT) upgrades installed in STAR for the 2012 and 2013 runs. AgML has furthermore been heavily utilized to study future upgrades to the STAR detector as it prepares for the eRHIC era. With its track record of practical use in a live experiment in mind, we present the status, lessons learned and future of the AgML language as well as our experience in bringing the code into our production and development environments. We will discuss the path toward eRHIC and pushing the current model to accommodate for detector miss-alignment and high precision physics.

Instead of submitting jobs through a dedicated gatekeeper, as most remote submission mechanisms use, it uses the built-in SSII protocol to gain access to the cluster. By using a common access method, SSII, we are able to simplify the interaction with the cluster, making the submission process more user friendly. Additionally, it does not add any extra software to be installed on the cluster making Bosco an attractive option for the cluster administrator. In this paper, we will describe Bosco, the personal supercomputing assistant, and how Bosco is used by researchers across the U.S. to manage their computing workflows. In addition, we will also talk about how researchers are using it, including an unique use of Bosco to submit CMS reconstruction jobs to an opportunistic XSEDE resource.

Thanks to the optimal performance that has characterized the last years' running of the LHC collider, several measurements have been taken since 2009 in different running conditions. After data taking for p - p interactions at root s = 900 GeV, 2.76 TeV and 7 TeV and proton - Lead nucleus (p - Pb) at root s(NN) = 5.02 TeV (energy of a couple of projectile and target nucleons in their center of mass reference frame), LHCf is now going to complete its physics program with the 13 TeV p - p run foreseen in 2015. The complete set of results will become a reference data set of forward physics for the calibration and tuning of the hadronic interaction models currently used for the simulation of the atmospheric showers induced by very high energy cosmic rays. For this reason we think that LHCf is giving an important contribution for the study of cosmic rays at the highest energies. In this paper the experiment, the published results and the current status are reviewed.

SMRs are challenged economically because of losses in economy of scale; thus, there is increased motivation to reduce the controllable operations and maintenance costs through automation technologies including prognostics health management (PHM) systems. In this regard, PHM systems have the potential to play a vital role in supporting the deployment of AdvSMRs and face several unique challenges with respect to implementation for passive AdvSMR components. This paper presents a summary of a research gaps and technical needs assessment performed for implementation of PHM for passive AdvSMR components.

The understanding of aging-related phenomena and their impacts on SSCs is expected to be a significant issue for any nuclear power plant planning for long-term operations (i.e. service beyond the initial license renewal period). Management of those phenomena and their impacts during long-term operations can be better enable by improved methods and techniques for detection, monitoring, and prediction of SSC degradation. The MAaD Pathway R&D Roadmap for Concrete, "Light Water Reactor Sustainability Nondestructive Evaluation for Concrete Research and Development Roadmap", focused initial research efforts on understanding the recent concrete issues at nuclear power plants and identifying the availability of concrete samples for NDE techniques evaluation and testing.

The laser shockwave technique (LST) originally developed to characterize structural adhesion in composites is being employed to characterize interface strength in a new type of plate fuel being developed at Idaho National Laboratory (INL). LST is a non-contact method that uses lasers for the generation and detection of large-amplitude acoustic waves and is well suited for application to both fresh and irradiated nuclear-fuel plates. This paper will report on initial characterization results obtained from fresh fuel plates manufactured by different processes, including hot isostatic pressing, friction stir welding, and hot rolling.

The two most significant issues limiting the effectiveness and lifespan of the fuel are the loss of thermal conductivity of the fuel and the mechanical strength of both fuel and cladding. The core of a nuclear reactor presents an extremely harsh and challenging environment for both sensors and telemetry due to elevated temperatures and large fluxes of energetic and ionizing particles from radioactive decay processes. The majority of measurements are made in reactors using "radiation hardened" sensors and materials. A different approach has been pursued in this research that exploits high temperatures and materials that are robust with respect to ionizing radiation. This synergistically designed thermoacoustic sensor will be self-powered, wireless, and provide telemetry. The novel sensor will be able to provide reactor process information even if external electrical power and communication are unavailable. In addition, the form-factor for the sensor is identical to the existing fuel rods within reactors and contains no moving parts. Results from initial proof of concept experiments designed to characterize porosity, surface properties and monitor gas composition will be discussed.

Such transients are often acquired in noisy, cluttered environments, and may be characterized by complex or unknown analytical models. Conventional representations using orthogonal bases, e. g., Short Time Fourier and Wavelet Transforms, can be suboptimal for classification of transients, as they provide a rigid tiling of the time-frequency space, and are not specifically designed for a particular target signal. They do not usually lead to sparse decompositions, and require separate feature selection algorithms, creating additional computational overhead. We propose a fast, adaptive classification approach based on non-analytical dictionaries learned from data. Our goal is to detect chirped pulses from a model target emitter in poor signal-to-noise and varying levels of simulated background clutter conditions. This paper builds on our previous RF classification work, and extends it to more complex target and background scenarios. We use a Hebbian rule to learn discriminative RF dictionaries directly from data, without relying on analytical constraints or additional knowledge about the signal characteristics. A pursuit search is used over the learned dictionaries to generate sparse classification features in order to identify time windows containing a target pulse. We demonstrate that learned dictionary techniques are highly suitable for pulsed RF analysis and present results with varying background clutter and noise levels. The target detection decision is obtained in almost real-time via a parallel, vectorized implementation.

Two new sets of more general distributions, Transverse Momentum Distributions and Generalized Parton Distributions, were introduced to describe transverse momentum and space distributions of partons. Great progress has been made since then in measurements of different Single Spin Asymmetries (SSAs) in semi-inclusive and hard exclusive processes providing access to TMDs and GPDs, respectively. Facilities world-wide involved in studies of the 3D structure of nucleon include HERMES, COMPASS, BELLE, BaBar, Halls A, B, and C at JLab, and PHENIX and STAR at RHIC (BNL). TMD studies in the Drell-Yan process are also becoming an important part of the program of hadron scattering experiments. Studies of TMDs are also among the main driving forces of the JLab 12-GeV upgrade project, several of the forward upgrade proposals of STAR and PHENIX at RHIC, and future facilities, such as the Electron Ion Collider (EIC), FAIR in Germany, and NICA in Russia. In this contribution we present an overview of the latest developments in studies of parton distributions and discuss newly released results, ongoing activities, as well as some future measurements.

As a demonstration, we show that the agreement between theoretical calculations of the charge form factor of C-12 and the experimental data is excellent. Applying similar methods to isospin-asymmetric systems allows one to describe neutrons confined in an external potential and homogeneous neutron-rich matter. Of particular interest is the nuclear symmetry energy, the energy cost of creating an isospin asymmetry. Combining these advances with recent observations of neutron star masses and radii gives insight into the equation of state of neutron-rich matter near and above the saturation density. In particular, neutron star radius measurements constrain the derivative of the symmetry energy. C1 [Gandolfi, Stefano] Los Alamos Natl Lab, Div Theoret, Los Alamos, NM 87545 USA.

Available models cannot accurately predict emission of LF from arbitrary reactions. However, the emission of LF is important for many applications, such as cosmic-ray-induced single event upsets, radiation protection, and cancer therapy with proton and heavy-ion beams, to name just a few. The cascade-exciton model (CEM) and the Los Alamos version of the quark-gluon string model (LAQGSM), as implemented in the CEM03.03 and LAQGSM03.03 event generators used in the Los Alamos Monte Carlo transport code MCNP6, describe quite well the spectra of fragments with sizes up to He-4 across a broad range of target masses and incident energies. However, they do not predict high-energy tails for LF heavier than He-4. The standard versions of CEM and LAQGSM do not account for preequilibrium emission of LF larger than He-4. The aim of our work is to extend the preequilibrium model to include such processes. We do this by including the emission of fragments heavier than He-4 at the preequilibrium stage, and using an improved version of the Fermi Break-up model, providing improved agreement with various experimental data.

This technique, called virtual neutron method, extends the Trojan Horse method to neutron-induced reactions allowing to study the reaction cross section avoiding the suppression effects coming from the penetrability of the centrifugal barrier. For incident neutron energies from thermal up to a few hundred keV, direct experiments have shown the population of two out of three expected excited states at energies 8213 keV and 8282 keV and the influence of the sub-threshold level at 8038 keV. In the present experiment the O-18 excited state at E* = 8.125 MeV, missing in the direct measurement, is observed. The angular distributions of the populated resonances have been measured for the first time. The results unambiguously indicate the ability of the method to overcome the centrifugal barrier suppression effect and to pick out the contribution of the bare nuclear interaction.

The goal is to discover evidence for the existence of exotic hybrid mesons and to map out their spectrum in the light quark sector. Recent theoretical developments using Lattice QCD [2] predict exotic hybrid states in a mass range accessible using the newly upgraded 12GeV electron accelerator at Jefferson Lab. Hybrid mesons, and in particular exotic hybrid mesons, provide the ideal laboratory for testing QCD in the confinement regime since these mesons explicitly manifest the gluonic degrees of freedom. The experiment will use 9 GeV linearly polarized photons produced via coherent Bremsstrahlung to produce the exotic hybrids. The decay products will be detected in the solenoid-based GlueX detector currently under construction at Jefferson Lab. The status of the GlueX experiment including detector parameters will be presented along with theoretical motivation for the experiment.

The nuclear modification factors (R-dA and R-AA) for pi(0) and eta are found to be very consistent in both collision systems, respectively. Using large amount of p + p and Au+Au datasets, the fractional momentum loss (S loss) and the path-length dependent yield of pi(0) in Au+Au collisions are obtained. The hadron spectra in the most central d+Au and the most peripheral Au+Au collisions are studied. The spectra shapes are found to be similar in both systems, but the yield is suppressed in the most peripheral Au+Au collisions.

An accurate estimation of the decay heat and the (nu) over bar emitted flux from reactors, are necessary for purposes such as reactors operation safety and non-proliferation. In order to improve the precision in the prediction for these quantities, the bias due to the Pandemonium effect affecting some important fission product data has to be corrected. New measurements of fission products beta-decay, not sensitive to this effect, have been performed with a Total Absorption Spectrometer (TAS) at the JYFL facility of Jyvaskyla. An overview of the TAS technique and first results from the 2009 campaign will be presented. C1 [Zakari-Issoufou, A. -A.; Porta, A.; Fallot, M.; Bui, V.

The methods we used combine social geography with energy and technology analysis to understand LED lighting adoption patterns in the context of a market that is getting its first exposure to LED technology, a situation that is repeating itself in villages and towns across the developing world. Of 23 night vendors to whom we offered LED lanterns at realistic market prices, 14 (61 %) opted to purchase. We identified wide variations in baseline kerosene fuel use, significant fluctuations in the pricing of kerosene, an only partial degree to which kerosene was displaced, the value of high-frequency utilization information derived from embedded data loggers, consumer willingness to pay for improved lights, and significantly confounding effects of market spoiling due to prior experience with low-quality LED products. In a likely response to significant reductions in kerosene prices during the trial period, a non-adopter control group increased kerosene use by 70%.
