TI Hydrogen Adsorption in the Ti-Doped Mesoporous Silicate SBA-15 SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY C LA English DT Article ID METAL-ORGANIC FRAMEWORKS; X-RAY-ABSORPTION; CATALYTIC-ACTIVITY; CARBON MATERIALS; TITANIUM; STORAGE; CLUSTERS; TEMPERATURE; VIBRATIONS; SCATTERING AB While metal-doped mesoporous silicate SBA-15 has been studied extensively for its catalytic properties, the adsorption of molecular hydrogen in this system has not been considered. We report herein that the titanium-doped material (10% Ti) adsorbs nearly twice the amount of hydrogen at 77 K and a pressure of 25 bar than pure SBA-15, Hydrogen adsorption isotherms also show that binding energies in the Ti-doped material are more than 50% greater than in SBA-15. Neutron vibrational spectroscopy shows clear evidence for interaction of hydrogen with Ti, which is responsible for part of the increase in hydrogen sorption in the material. C1 [Acatrinei, A.

Upon D2O exposure of a thick BaO film, amorphous barium hydroxide formed at room temperature that readily converted to crystalline Ba(OD)(2) phases during annealing in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV). The formation of crystalline hydroxide phases depends on the initial D2O exposure at 300 K. Following low D2O exposure at room temperature that results in the formation of amorphous barium hydroxide with no hydrating water, only the alpha-Ba(OD)(2) phase was observed after 400 K annealing. The sample that was exposed to D,0 extensively (i.e., hydrated amorphous barium hydroxide formed) showed a series of phase transformations as the sample was annealed to increasingly higher temperatures: amorphous-Ba(OD)(2)center dot xD(2)O (x > 1) -> beta-Ba(OD)(2)center dot D2O -> beta-Ba(OD)(2) -> alpha-Ba(OD)(2). The results of TPD experiments completely agreed with this phase transformation scheme: hydrating water molecules desorbed first at 425 K, allowing the formation of the beta-Ba(OD)(2)center dot D2O phase. Desorption of water from beta-Ba(OD)(2)center dot D2O at around 475 K leads to the formation of beta-Ba(OD)(2) and its subsequent conversion to alpha-Ba(OD)(2). All of the barium hydroxides thermally decomposed at T < 550 K. When the BaO film was exposed to D2O at 425 K, crystalline beta-Ba(OD)(2) formed initially, which led to the formation of a small amount of alpha-Ba(OD)(2) as well at low D,O exposures. At high D2O exposures, the dominant phase was beta-Ba(OD)(2)center dot xD(2)O, and no alpha-phase was seen.

TI Optimization of ZnO Nanorod Array Morphology for Hybrid Photovoltaic Devices SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY C LA English DT Article ID SENSITIZED SOLAR-CELLS; NANOWIRE ARRAYS; POLYMER; DEPOSITION; FILMS; LAYER AB Hybrid inorganic oxide/conjugated polymer photovoltaic devices using ZnO nanorod arrays (NRAs) instead of planar films as the electron-transport layer exhibit significant improvements in performance that have been attributed to increased heterojunction surface area, although the relationship has not been quantitatively established. Here, we independently measure the surface area of ZnO NRAs and quantify its effect on the performance of ZnO NRA/poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) photovoltaic devices. We find that a device utilizing a vertically aligned 180 nm ZnO NRA exhibits an similar to 2.7x enhancement in the short-circuit current compared with that of a bilayer device, in excellent agreement with the increase in surface area. In addition, we show that a subtle difference in the NRA morphology can impact P3HT crystallinity in the photoactive region. Improved P3HT crystallinity leads to an similar to 25% enhancement in the short-circuit current for devices with the same surface area. On the basis of these findings, we modify the NRA growth to introduce more spacing between nanorods and create a ZnO NRA/P3HT device with a high short-circuit current density of 2.91 mA/cm(2). These results indicate that, although increased surface area is the most important factor to improving photocurrent and efficiency, other factors, such as ZnO NRA morphology and P3HT crystallinity, also impact the performance of ZnO/P3HT photovoltaic devices.

TI From molecular to macroscopic via the rational design of a self-assembled 3D DNA crystal SO NATURE LA English DT Article ID NUCLEIC-ACID JUNCTIONS; HOLLIDAY JUNCTION; CRYSTALLIZATION; SUBSTRATE; TRIANGLES AB We live in a macroscopic three-dimensional (3D) world, but our best description of the structure of matter is at the atomic and molecular scale. Understanding the relationship between the two scales requires a bridge from the molecular world to the macroscopic world. Connecting these two domains with atomic precision is a central goal of the natural sciences, but it requires high spatial control of the 3D structure of matter(1). The simplest practical route to producing precisely designed 3D macroscopic objects is to form a crystalline arrangement by self-assembly, because such a periodic array has only conceptually simple requirements: a motif that has a robust 3D structure, dominant affinity interactions between parts of the motif when it self-associates, and predictable structures for these affinity interactions. Fulfilling these three criteria to produce a 3D periodic system is not easy, but should readily be achieved with well-structured branched DNA motifs tailed by sticky ends(2). Complementary sticky ends associate with each other preferentially and assume the well-known B-DNA structure when they do so(3); the helically repeating nature of DNA facilitates the construction of a periodic array. It is essential that the directions of propagation associated with the sticky ends do not share the same plane, but extend to form a 3D arrangement of matter. Here we report the crystal structure at 4 angstrom resolution of a designed, self-assembled, 3D crystal based on the DNA tensegrity triangle(4). The data demonstrate clearly that it is possible to design and self-assemble a well-ordered macromolecular 3D crystalline lattice with precise control.

This method, which does not require exertion of external forces or binding to a substrate, reports on the equilibrium distribution of bending fluctuations, not just an average value (as in ensemble fluorescence resonance energy transfer) or an extreme value (as in cyclization), and in principle provides a more robust data set for assessing the suitability of theoretical models. Our experimental results for dsDNA comprising 42-94 basepairs are consistent with a simple wormlike chain model of dsDNA elasticity, whose behavior we have determined from Monte Carlo simulations that explicitly represent nanoparticles and their alkane tethers. A persistence length of 50 nm (150 basepairs) gave a favorable comparison, consistent with the results of single-molecule force-extension experiments on much longer dsDNA chains, but in contrast to recent suggestions of enhanced flexibility at these length scales.

About three unit-cells wide surface layers are identified. The magnetic moment in these layers decreases more rapidly than that in the bulk when the temperature is increased. This behavior is consistent with experimental observations.

Recent research has shown how the properties of carbon nanostructures can be exploited to enhance the yield of chemical reactions such as the thermal decomposition of water (Kostov et al 2005 Phys. Rev. Lett. 95) and the dissociation of methane into carbon and hydrogen (Huang et al 2008 J. Chem. Phys. at press). In this work, we consider the carbon-mediated partial sequestration and selective oxidation of carbon monoxide (CO), both in the presence and absence of hydrogen. Using first-principles calculations we study several reactions of CO with carbon nanostructures, where the active sites can be regenerated by the deposition of carbon decomposed from the reactant (CO) to make the reactions self-sustained. Using statistical mechanics, we also study the conditions under which the conversion of CO to graphene and carbon dioxide is thermodynamically favorable, both in the presence and in the absence of hydrogen. These results are a first step toward the development of processes for the carbon-mediated partial sequestration and selective oxidation of CO in a hydrogen atmosphere.

TI Guest Tunable Structure and Spin Crossover Properties in a Nanoporous Coordination Framework Material SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID METAL-ORGANIC FRAMEWORK; TRANSITION; POLYMERS; COMPLEXES; MEMORY; 1D AB The electronic switching properties of the nanoporous spin crossover framework [Fe(NCS)(2)(bpbd)(2)].x(guest), SCOF-2, can be rationally manipulated via sorption of a range of molecular guests (acetone, ethanol, methanol, propanol, 1-acetonitrile) into the 1-D channels of this material. Pronounced changes to the spin crossover properties are related directly to the steric and electronic influence of the individual guests: the degree of lattice cooperativity, as reflected in the abruptness of the transition and presence of hysteresis, is strongly influenced by the presence of cooperative host-guest interactions, and the temperature of the transition varies with guest polarity through a proposed electrostatic interaction.

TI Trends in Covalency for d- and f-Element Metallocene Dichlorides Identified Using Chlorine K-Edge X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy and Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID METAL-LIGAND COVALENCY; ELECTRONIC-STRUCTURE; PHOTOELECTRON-SPECTRA; ORGANOTITANIUM COMPLEXES; DINITROGEN COMPLEXES; ACTINIDE COMPLEXES; URANYL-ION; OPEN-SHELL; URANIUM; CHEMISTRY AB We describe the use of Cl K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and both ground-state and time-dependent hybrid density functional theory (DFT) to probe the electronic structure and determine the degree of orbital mixing in M-Cl bonds for (C(5)Me(5))(2)MCl(2) (M = Ti, 1; Zr, 2; Hf, 3; Th, 4; U, 5), where we can directly compare a class of structurally similar compounds for d- and f-elements. Pre-edge features in the Cl K-edge XAS data for the group IV transition-metals 1-3 provide direct evidence of covalent M-Cl orbital mixing. The amount of Cl 3p character was experimentally determined to be 25%, 23%, and 22% per M-Cl bond for 1-3, respectively. For actinides, we find a pre-edge shoulder for 4 (Th) and distinct and weak pre-edge features for U, 5. The amount of Cl 3p character was determined to be 9% for 5, and we were unable to make an experimental determination for 4. Using hybrid DFT calculations with relativistic effective core potentials, the electronic structures of 1-5 were calculated and used as a guide to interpret the experimental Cl K-edge XAS data. For transition-metal compounds 1-3, the pre-edge features arise due to transitions from Cl 1s electrons into the 3d-, 4d-, and 5d-orbitals, with assignments provided in the text. For Th, 4, we find that 5f- and 6d-orbitals are nearly degenerate and give rise to a single pre-edge shoulder in the XAS. For U, 5, we find the 5f- and 6d-orbitals fall into two distinct energy groupings, and Cl K-edge XAS data are interpreted in terms of Cl 1s transitions into both 5f- and 6d-orbitals. Time-dependent DFT was used to calculate the energies and intensities of Cl 1s transitions into empty metal-based orbitals containing Cl 3p character and provide simulated Cl K-edge XAS spectra for 1-4. For 5, which has two unpaired 5f electrons, simulated spectra were obtained from transition dipole calculations using ground-state Kohn-Sham orbitals. To the best of our knowledge, this represents the first application of Cl K-edge XAS to actinide systems. Overall, this study allows trends in orbital mixing within a well-characterized structural motif to be identified and compared between transition-metals and actinide elements. These results show that the orbital mixing for the cl-block compounds slightly decreases in covalency with increasing principal quantum number, in the order Ti > Zr approximate to Hf, and that uranium displays approximately half the covalent orbital mixing of transition elements.

TI Nanoscale Zirconia as a Nonmetallic Catalyst for Graphitization of Carbon and Growth of Single- and Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID GOLD NANOPARTICLE CATALYSTS; CHEMICAL-VAPOR-DEPOSITION; IN-SITU; X-RAY; METAL-CATALYSTS; AEROGELS; REDUCTION; FIBERS; COMPOSITES; NUCLEATION AB We report that nanoparticulate zirconia (ZrO(2)) catalyzes both growth of single-wall and multiwall carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and graphitization of solid amorphous carbon. We observe that silica-, silicon nitride-, and alumina-supported zirconia on silicon nucleates single- and multiwall carbon nanotubes upon exposure to hydrocarbons at moderate temperatures (750 degrees C). High-pressure, time-resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) of these substrates during carbon nanotube nucleation and growth shows that the zirconia catalyst neither reduces to a metal nor forms a carbide. Point-localized energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX) using scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) confirms catalyst nanoparticles attached to CNTs are zirconia. We also observe that carbon aerogels prepared through pyrolysis of a Zr(IV)-containing resorcinol-formaldehyde polymer aerogel precursor at 800 degrees C contain fullerenic cage structures absent in undoped carbon aerogels. Zirconia nanoparticles embedded in these carbon aerogels are further observed to act as nucleation sites for multiwall carbon nanotube growth upon exposure to hydrocarbons at CVD growth temperatures. Our study unambiguously demonstrates that a nonmetallic catalyst can catalyze CNT growth by thermal CVD while remaining in an oxidized state and provides new insight into the interactions between nanoparticulate metal oxides and carbon at elevated temperatures.

Nitrogen-doped anatase titania nanobelts a re prepared via hydrothermal processing and subsequent heat treatment in NH3. Both the nitrogen content and the oxygen vacancy concentration increase with increasing the NH3 treatment temperature. Nitrogen doping leads to an add-on shoulder on the edge of the valence band, the localized N 2p levels above the valence band maximum, and the 3d states of Ti3+ below the conduction band, which is confirmed by DFT calculation and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurement. Extension of the light absorption from the ultraviolet (UV) region to the visible-light region arises from the N 2p levels near the valence band and from the color centers induced by the oxygen vacancies and the Ti3+ species. Nitrogen doping allows visible-light-responsive photocatalytic activity but lowers UV-light-responsive photocatalytic activity. The visible-light photocatalytic activity originates from the N 2p levels near the valence band. The oxygen vacancies and the associated Ti3+ species act as the recombination centers for the photoinduced electrons and holes. They reduce the photocatalytic activity although they contribute to the visible light absorbance.

TI Molecular Simulation of Electric Double-Layer Capacitors Based on Carbon Nanotube Forests SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID ELECTROCHEMICAL CAPACITORS; FORCE-FIELD; SINGLE AB Described here are the first simulations of electric double-layer capacitors based on carbon nanotube forests modeled fully at a molecular level. The computations determine single-electrode capacitances in the neighborhood of 80 F/g, in agreement with experimental capacitances of electric edouble-layer capacitors utilizing carbon nanotube forests or carbide-derived carbons as electrode material. The capacitance increases modestly with the decrease of the pore size through radii greater than 1 nm, which is consistent with recent experiments on carbide-derived carbon electrodes. Because the various factors included in these simulations are precisely defined, these simulation data will help to disentangle distinct physical chemical factors that contribute to the performance of these materials, e.g., pore geometry, variable filling of the pores, pseudocapacitance, and electronic characteristics of the nanotubes.

In particular, Hall sensors based on semiconductor heterostructures have shown exceptional magnetic moment sensitivity over a large dynamic field range suitable for magnetic biosensing using superparamagnetic labels. Here we demonstrate the capability of such micro-Hall sensors to detect specific molecular binding using biotin-streptavidin as a model system. We apply dip-pen nanolithography to selectively biotinylate the active areas of InAs micro-Hall devices with nanoscale precision. Specific binding of complementarily functionalized streptavidin-coated superparamagnetic beads to the Hall crosses occurs via molecular recognition, and magnetic detection of the assembled beads is achieved at room temperature using phase sensitive micro-Hall magnetometry. The experiment constitutes the first unambiguous demonstration of magnetic detection of specific biomolecular interactions with semiconductor micro-Hall sensors, and the selective molecular functionalization and resulting localized bead assembly demonstrate the possibility of multiplexed sensing of multiple target molecules using a single device with an array of micro-Hall sensors.

Their structure-function relationships are often far from obvious. However, their ability to efficiently channel excitation energy over remarkable distances, as is the case in photosynthetic light harvesting, is a compelling motivation to investigate them. Understanding and subsequently mimicking the processes in photosynthesis, for example, will set the stage for considerable advances in using light harvesting to fuel renewable energy technologies. Two-dimensional (2D) electronic spectroscopy is emerging as a nonlinear optical technique that provides significant insight into the interactions and dynamics of complex molecular systems. in addition to spectrally resolving excitation and emission energies over significant bandwidths with femtosecond resolution, this technique has already enabled discoveries about the structure and dynamics of photosynthetic light-harvesting complexes and other aggregates. Multiple capabilities unique to 2D electronic spectroscopy enable such findings. For example, the spectral resolution of excitation and emission combined with the ability to eliminate the effects of static disorder can reveal the homogeneous line width of a transition and the different dynamic contributions to it. Two dimensional spectroscopy is also sensitive to electronic coherence and has been employed to identify and characterize coherent excitation energy transfer dynamics in photosynthetic systems and conjugated polymers. The presence of cross-peaks, signals for which excitation and emission occur at different wavelengths, provides multiple forms of information. First, it allows the identification of states in congested spectra and reveals correlations between them. Second, we can track excitation energy flow from origin to terminus through multiple channels simultaneously. Finally, 2D electronic spectroscopy is uniquely sensitive to intermolecular electronic coupling through the sign and amplitude of the cross-peaks. This feature makes it possible to reveal spatial molecular configurations by probing electronic transitions. Another means of "resolving" these angstrom-scale arrangements is to manipulate the probing laser pulse polarizations. In this way, we can isolate and modulate specific processes in order to retrieve structural information. In this Account, we demonstrate these capabilities through a close collaboration between experiments and modeling on isolated photosynthetic pigment-protein complexes and also on J-aggregates. Each of the probed systems we describe offers insights that-have both increased the utility of 2D electronic spectroscopy and led to discoveries about the molecular aggregates' dynamics and underlying structure.

And, yet, few accelerator based systems are being deployed in general purpose HPC environments. Why is that? This article explores the challenges that accelerators face in the HPC world, with a specific focus on FPGA based systems. We begin with an overview of the characteristics and challenges of typical HPC systems and applications and discuss why FPGAs have the potential to have a significant impact. The bulk of the article is focused on twelve specific areas where FPGA researchers can make contributions to hasten the adoption of FPGAs in HPC environments.

Using this method, structural information can now be acquired from pathological crystals that would have been abandoned in earlier times. In this paper, the order-disorder (OD) structure of fluorescent protein FP480 is discussed. The structure is composed of tetramers with 222 symmetry incorporated into the lattice in two different ways, namely rotated 90 degrees with respect to each other around the crystal c axis, with tetramer axes coincident with crystallographic twofold axes. The random distribution of alternatively oriented tetramers in the crystal creates a rotational OD structure with statistically averaged I422 symmetry, although the presence of very weak and diffuse additional reflections suggests that the randomness is only approximate.

Here, the averaged kick (AK) map approach is investigated, its application is generalized and it is compared with other map-calculation methods. AK maps are the sum of a series of kick maps, where each kick map is calculated from atomic coordinates modified by random shifts. As such, they are a numerical analogue of maximum-likelihood maps. AK maps can be unweighted or maximum-likelihood (Sigma(A)) weighted. Analysis shows that they are comparable and correspond better to the final model than Sigma(A) and simulated-annealing maps. The AK maps were challenged by a difficult structure-validation case, in which they were able to clarify the problematic region in the density without the need for model rebuilding. The conclusion is that AK maps can be useful throughout the entire progress of crystal structure determination, offering the possibility of improved map interpretation.

TI Analysis of lattice-translocation disorder in the layered hexagonal structure of carboxysome shell protein CsoS1C SO ACTA CRYSTALLOGRAPHICA SECTION D-BIOLOGICAL CRYSTALLOGRAPHY LA English DT Article DE translocation disorders; hexamer; carboxysome shell; symmetry enhancement; order-disorder; modulated structures ID X-RAY-INTENSITIES; DIFFRACTION ENHANCEMENT; CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE; OD-STRUCTURES; DEFECTS; MICROCOMPARTMENTS; COMPONENTS; ORGANELLES; SYMMETRY AB Lattice-translocation or crystal order-disorder phenomena occur when some layers or groups of molecules in a crystal are randomly displaced relative to other groups of molecules by a discrete set of vectors. In previous work, the effects of lattice translocation on diffraction intensities have been corrected by considering that the observed intensities are the product of the intensities from an ideal crystal (lacking disorder) multiplied by the squared magnitude of the Fourier transform of the set of translocation vectors. Here, the structure determination is presented of carboxysome protein CsoS1C from Halothiobacillius neapolitanus in a crystal exhibiting a lattice translocation with unique features. The diffraction data are fully accounted for by a crystal unit cell composed of two layers of cyclic protein hexamers. The first layer is fully ordered (i.e. has one fixed position), while the second layer randomly takes one of three alternative positions whose displacements are related to each other by threefold symmetry. Remarkably, the highest symmetry present in the crystal is P3, yet the intensity data (and the Patterson map) obey 6/m instead of symmetry; the intensities exceed the symmetry expected from combining the crystal space group with an inversion center. The origin of this rare phenomenon, known as symmetry enhancement, is discussed and shown to be possible even for a perfectly ordered crystal. The lattice-translocation treatment described here may be useful in analyzing other cases of disorder in which layers or groups of molecules are shifted in multiple symmetry-related directions.

The level of radiation-sensitivity and the extent of its variability is statistically indistinguishable between the two conditions. This suggests that this potential scavenger does not have any statistically significant effect on the amount of radiation damage incurred in the crystals on X-ray irradiation. This is in contrast to previous results [Kauffmann et al. (2006), Structure, 14, 1099-1105] where only one crystal specimen was used for each condition (native and nicotinic acid-soaked).

The enzyme has a typical SGNH hydrolase structure consisting of a single domain containing a five-stranded beta-sheet, with three helices at the convex side and two helices at the concave side of the sheet, and is ornamented with a couple of very short helices at the domain edges. The active site is located in a groove and contains the classic catalytic triad of Ser, His and Asp. In the structure of the crystal soaked in diethyl p-nitrophenyl phosphate (DNP), the catalytic serine is covalently connected to a phosphonate moiety that clearly has only one ethyl group. This is the only example in the Protein Data Bank of a DNP-inhibited enzyme with covalently bound monoethylphosphate.

The lattice misfit in the plane of the film for this orientation varied from -1.26% in [0 0 0 1] to -18.52% in the [-1 10 0] direction. The alignment of (1 1 -2 0)ZnO planes parallel to (10 -1 2)sapphire planes was confirmed by X-ray diffraction theta-2 theta scans over the entire temperature range. X-ray phi-scans revealed the epitaxial relationship:[0 0 0 1]ZnO parallel to[-1 10 1]sap; [-1 1 0 0]ZnO parallel to[-1 -1 2 0]sap. Depending on the growth temperature, variations in the structural, optical and electrical properties were observed in the grown films. Room temperature photoluminescence for films grown at 700 degrees C shows a strong band-edge emission. The ratio of the band-edge emission to green band emission is 135: 1, indicating reduced defects and excellent optical quality of the films. The resistivity data for the films grown at 700 degrees C shows semiconducting behavior with room temperature resistivity of 2.2 x 10(-3) Omega-CM. (C) 2009 Acta Materialia Inc.

This treatment consists of an initial partial or full austenitization, followed by a quench to form a controlled amount of martensite and an annealing step to partition carbon atoms from the martensite to the austenite. In this work, the microstructural evolution during annealing of martensite-austenite grain assemblies has been analyzed by means of a modeling approach that considers the influence of martensite-austenite interface migration on the kinetics of carbon partitioning. Carbide precipitation is precluded in the model, and three different assumptions about interface mobility are considered, ranging from a completely immobile interface to the relatively high mobility of an incoherent ferrite-austenite interface. Simulations indicate that different interface mobilities lead to profound differences in the evolution of microstructure that is predicted during annealing. (C) 2009 Acta Materialia Inc.

Strain and load data were acquired at rates of up to 400 kHz using strain gages affixed to all four sides of the specimen and a piezoelectric load cell located near the specimen. Calculation of the displacement rate requires an assumption about the nature of the shear displacement. If one assumes that the entire shear plane displaces simultaneously, the displacement rate is approximately 0.002 in s(-1). If instead one assumes that the displacement occurs as a localized propagating front, the velocity of the front is approximately 2.8 in s(-1). In either case, the velocity is orders of magnitude less than the shear wave speed (similar to 2000 in s(-1)). The significance of these measurements for estimates of heating in shear bands is discussed. (C) 2009 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The grain microstructures were produced by initial solution-treatments at 1045, 1090 and 1145 degrees C. The gamma' precipitates were obtained by aging at 779 and 796 degrees C for times ranging from 0.1 to 263.5 h. Specimen characterization was conducted via optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, DC four-point probe resistivity and ex situ ultra-small-angle X-ray scattering (USAXS) experiments at each aging time. The gamma' size distribution, obtained from the USAXS analysis, transformed from an initial unimodal to an eventual bimodal distribution with continued aging. The overall coarsening kinetics, although non-steady state, followed t(1/3) behavior, when the primary gamma' radius was used as the quantifying precipitate dimension. The coarsening rate constants were primarily determined by the aging temperature used, while the influence of prior homogenizing treatments was minimal to non-existent. A generic correlation was found to exist between a newly proposed figure-of-merit of scattering, eta based on the USAXS-derived gamma' precipitate distribution(s) and the measured electrical resistivity.

The cohesive zone model defines the interfacial traction-separation relation. Experimental determination of such a relation has been difficult. Most previous work has been confined to tensile loading, and much less has been devoted to mixed-mode loading conditions. Even so, specific laws are often assumed rather than predicted. Our recent work has used molecular dynamics (MD) simulation methods to derive a general cohesive zone law for the fracture between two brittle materials under any mixed-mode loading conditions. Here we extend our method and use it to explore the effect of elastic constant mismatch between adjacent materials. In particular, we construct two bilayer structures where the cohesive energies and lattice constants of the constituent materials are kept the same, but the elastic constant mismatch of the two materials in one structure differs from that in the other. We then use MD simulations to study the fracture and to derive the cohesive zone laws for both structures. The effect of elastic constant mismatch on fracture will then be discussed.

H adsorbs exothermically to the (0 0 1) surface, yet H absorption into the bulk is endothermic, with off-center octahedral absorption having the lowest absorption energy of 0.39 eV, relative to molecular H-2. H absorption in interstitial sites causes a local softening of the bulk modulus. Diffusion of H in unstrained alpha-U has a barrier of 0.6 eV. The energy of H absorption adjacent to the chemical impurities C, S, Si was lowered by an amount proportional to the size of the impurity atom, and the resulting lattice strain Si > S > C. Thus, impurities may promote hydriding by providing surfaces or prestrained zones for H uptake. (C) 2009 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The structures possess local pair and multisite correlation functions that closely mimic those of the random bcc alloy. We employed the SQSs to predict the mixing enthalpies, nearest neighbor bond length distributions and electronic density of states of bcc Mo-Nb-Ta and Mo-Nb-V solid solutions. Our convergence tests indicate that even small-sized SQSs can give reliable results. Based on the SQS energetics, the predicting powers of the existing empirical ternary extrapolation models were assessed. The present results suggest that it is important to take into account the ternary interaction parameter in order to accurately describe the thermodynamic behaviors of ternary alloys. The proposed SQSs are quite general and can be applied to other ternary bcc alloys. (C) 2009 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

TI Plastic flow anisotropy of pure zirconium after severe plastic deformation at room temperature SO ACTA MATERIALIA LA English DT Article DE Zirconium; Equal-channel angular extrusion; Anisotropy; Texture; Twinning ID CHANNEL ANGULAR EXTRUSION; CLOSE-PACKED METALS; TEXTURE EVOLUTION; MICROSTRUCTURE EVOLUTION; BASAL SLIP; CONSTITUTIVE LAW; SINGLE-CRYSTALS; SIMPLE SHEAR; ALLOYS; ZR AB The present work investigates the plastic flow anisotropy of zirconium following one pass of equal-channel angular extrusion (ECAE) at room temperature in a 90 degrees die. Samples were oriented with their strong basal pole texture either aligned with or perpendicular to the extrusion direction prior to processing, which leads to two significantly different starting textures. After ECAE, the samples were compressed to 30% along one of three sample directions. A visco-plastic self-consistent polycrystal model was used to determine the mechanisms responsible for the observed anisotropy. Using the same single-crystal material parameters, the model reasonably predicts texture evolution and the post-compression stress-strain response. We found that basal slip is crucial in reproducing the experimental results, and twinning makes an important contribution. These findings are noteworthy because basal slip is not active in zirconium at room temperature, and grain size reductions associated with ECAE are expected to suppress deformation twinning.

However, soil biodiversity is strongly impaired by agriculture and relatively little is known on how and at what spatial and temporal scales soil biodiversity is restored after the human disturbances have come to an end. Here, a multi-scale approach was used to compare diversity patterns of soil mites and nematodes at four stages (early, mid, late, reference site) along a secondary succession chronosequence from abandoned arable land to heath land. In each field four soil samples were taken during four successive seasons. We determined soil diversity within samples (alpha-diversity), between samples (beta-diversity) and within field sites (gamma-diversity). The patterns of alpha- and gamma-diversity developed similarly along the chronosequence for oribatid mites, but not for nematodes. Nematode alpha-diversity was highest in mid- and late-successional sites, while gamma-diversity was constant along the chronosequence. Oribatid mite beta-diversity was initially high, but decreased thereafter, whereas nematode beta-diversity increased when succession proceeded: indicating that patterns of within-site heterogeneity diverged for oribatid mites and nematodes. The spatio-temporal diversity patterns after land abandonment suggest that oribatid mite community development depends predominantly on colonization of new taxa, whereas nematode community development depends on shifts in dominance patterns. This would imply that at old fields diversity patterns of oribatid mites are mainly controlled by dispersal, whereas diversity patterns of nematodes are mainly controlled by changing abiotic or biotic soil conditions. Our Study shows that the restoration of soil biodiversity along secondary successional gradients can be both scale- and phylum-dependent. Published by Elsevier Masson SAS.

Changes accompanying a net reduction in porosity of 4% were quantified including: (1) a 25% net decrease in pores resulting from a 38% loss in the number of pores < 10(-4) mm(3) in volume and a 13% increase in the number of pores of larger size; and (2) a 38% decrease in the number of throats. The loss of throats resulted in decreased coordination number for pores of all sizes and significant reduction in the number of pore pathways. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

TI Toward a more holistic perspective of soil erosion: Why aeolian research needs to explicitly consider fluvial processes and interactions SO AEOLIAN RESEARCH LA English DT Review DE Aeolian; Fluvial; Wind erosion; Water erosion; Dust; Sediment ID WIND EROSION; WATER EROSION; DRYLAND ENVIRONMENTS; SEMIARID SHRUBLAND; SEDIMENT TRANSPORT; DESERT GRASSLAND; NORTH-AMERICA; LOESS PLATEAU; NEW-MEXICO; DUST AB Soil erosion is driven by not only aeolian but also fluvial transport processes, yet these two types of processes are usually studied independently, thereby precluding effective assessment of overall erosion, potential interactions between the two drivers, and their relative sensitivities to projected changes in climate and land use. Here we provide a perspective that aeolian and fluvial transport processes need to be considered in concert relative to total erosion and to potential interactions, that relative dominance and sensitivity to disturbance vary with mean annual precipitation, and that there are important scale-dependencies associated with aeolian fluvial interactions. We build on previous literature to present relevant conceptual syntheses highlighting these issues. We then highlight relative investments that have been made in soil erosion and sediment control by comparing the amount of resources allocated to aeolian and fluvial research using readily available metrics. Literature searches suggest that aeolian transport may be somewhat understudied relative to fluvial transport and, most importantly, that only a relatively small number of studies explicitly consider both aeolian and fluvial transport processes. Numerous environmental issues associated with intensification of land use and climate change impacts depend on not only overall erosion rates but also on differences and interactions between aeolian and fluvial processes. Therefore, a more holistic viewpoint of erosional processes that explicitly considers both aeolian and fluvial processes and their interactions is needed to optimize management and deployment of resources to address imminent changes in land use and climate.

The sites represent Douglas-fir forest ecosystems at two contrasting successional stages: old-growth (OG) and early seral (ES). Here we present eddy flux and meteorological data from two early seral stands and the Wind River AmeriFlux old-growth forest during the growing season (March-October) in 2006 and 2007. We show an alternative approach to the usual friction velocity (u(*)) method for determining periods of adequate atmospheric boundary layer mixing based on the ratio of mean horizontal (U) or vertical ((w) over bar) wind flow to a modified turbulent kinetic energy scale (U-TKE). This new parameter in addition to footprint modeling showed that daytime CO2 fluxes (F-NEE) in small clear-cuts (<10 ha) can be measured accurately with EC if micrometeorological conditions are carefully evaluated. Peak midday CO2 fluxes (F-NEE = -14.0 to -12.3 mu mol m(-2) s(-1)) at OG were measured in April in both 2006 and 2007 before bud break when air and soil temperatures and vapor pressure deficit were relatively low, and soil moisture and light levels were favorable for photosynthesis. At the early seral stands, peak midday CO2 fluxes (F-NEE = -11.0 to -8.7 mu mol m(-2) s(-1))were measured in June and July while spring-time CO2 fluxes were much smaller (F-NEE = -3.8 to -3.6 mu mol m(-2) s(-1)). Overall, we measured lower evapotranspiration (OG = 230 mm, ES = 297 mm), higher midday F-NEE (OG F-NEE = -9.0 mu mol m(-2) s(-1), ES F-NEE = -7.3 mu mol m(-2) s(-1)) and higher Bowen ratios (OG beta = 2.0, ES beta = 1.2) at the old-growth forest than at the ES sites during the summer months (May-August). Eddy covariance studies such as ours add critical land-atmosphere exchange data for an abundant, but rarely studied Douglas-fir age class. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Demonstrations of passive RDX chemical detection at areal dosages between 16 and 90 A mu g/cm(2) were carried out over practical standoff ranges between 14 and 50 m. Anomaly and target detection algorithms were applied to the images to determine the effect of areal dosage and sensing distance on detection performance for target RDX. The anomaly detection algorithms included principal component analysis, maximum autocorrelation factors, and principal autocorrelation factors. Maximum difference factors and principal difference factors are novel multivariate edge detection techniques that were examined for their utility in detection of the RDX stains in the images. A target detection algorithm based on generalized least squares was applied to the images, as well, to see if the algorithm can identify the compound in the stains on the plates using laboratory reflection spectra of RDX, cyclotetramethylenetetranitramine (HMX), and 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) as the target spectra. The algorithm could easily distinguish between the nitroaromatic (TNT) compound and the nitramine (RDX, HMX) compounds, and, though the distinction between RDX and HMX was less clear, the mean weighted residuals identified RDX as the stain on the plate. Improvements that can be made in this detection technique are discussed in detail. As expected, it was found that detection was best for short distances and higher areal dosages. However, the target was easily detected at all distances and areal dosages used in this study.

The data were generated by injecting a concentrated solution (83%) of H(2)O(2) into a gently heated disseminator and diluting it with pure N(2) carrier gas. The water vapor lines were quantitatively subtracted from the resulting spectra to yield the spectrum of pure H(2)O(2). The results for the nu(6) band strength ( including hot bands) compare favorably with the results of Klee et al. (J Mol. Spectrosc. 195: 154, 1999) as well as with the HITRAN values. The present results are 433 and 467 cm(-2) atm(-1) (+/- 8 and +/- 3% as measured at 298 and 323 K, respectively, and reduced to 296 K) for the band strength, matching well the value reported by Klee et al. (S=467 cm(-2) atm(-1) at 296 K) for the integrated band. The nu(1)+nu(5) nearinfrared band between 6,900 and 7,200 cm(-1) has an integrated intensity S=26.3 cm(-2)atm(-1), larger than previously reported values.

TI Self-Assembly Approach to Multiplexed Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectral-Encoder Beads SO ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY LA English DT Article ID ORGANIC-INORGANIC NANOPARTICLES; SCATTERING; IMMUNOASSAY; SERS; SILVER; LABELS; CELLS; PROBE; DNA; NANOSENSORS AB We present a strategy for the synthesis of multiplexed spectral encoder beads based on combinations of different surface enhanced Raman (SERS) signatures generated by dye-functionalized Ag nanoparticle tags. A key problem in SERS-based multiplexing arises in balancing the competitive binding of different signal generating dyes to the nanoparticle surfaces, which leads to difficulty in generating final summation spectra by design. We avoid this complication by decoupling the formation of individual tags from multiplexing of their spectra by self-assembly of different tag combinations onto SiO(2) microbead supports via biotin-avidin binding. Linear combinations of individual nanoparticle tag spectra are generated in precursor solutions and Eire found to directly translate to the final encoder bead fingerprint spectrum in a 1:1 binding stoichiometry that preserves the original solution ratios. The result is an ability to multiplex spectral signatures in both frequency and intensity space to generate a large number of unique encoder signatures from a limited number of initial tag spectra. Raman microscopy of 75 individual beads shows that spectral response is highly uniform from bead-to-bead, making the encoder assemblies suitable for highly multiplexed bioassay applications and as model systems for cellular surface labeling studies for imaging and immunoassays.

Ions produced by electrospray ionization were mass-selected using a quadrupole mass filter and deposited onto inert and reactive self-assembled monolayer (SAM) surfaces. Surface composition during and after ion deposition was monitored using IRRAS. Physisorption of a cyclic peptide, Gramicidin S (GS), was studied for 8 h during deposition and additional 12 h after the end of deposition. The integrated signal of the characteristic amide bands followed a linear increase during the deposition and stayed unchanged after the deposition was finished. Similar linear increase in IRRAS signal was obtained following reactive deposition of the protonated dodecanediamine onto SAMs of dithiobis (succinimidyl undecanoate) (NHS-SAM) and 16-mercaptohexadecanoic acid fluoride (COF-SAM) on gold. IRRAS allowed us to monitor for the first time the formation of the amide bond between reactive SAM surfaces and the projectile molecule.

TI Downscaling Limits and Confinement Effects in the Miniaturization of Porous Polymer Monoliths in Narrow Bore Capillaries SO ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY LA English DT Article ID PERFORMANCE LIQUID-CHROMATOGRAPHY; OPENING METATHESIS POLYMERIZATION; IONIZATION MASS-SPECTROMETRY; CO-ETHYLENE DIMETHACRYLATE); STATIONARY PHASES; PROTEOMIC ANALYSIS; MU-M; MACROPOROUS POLYMER; SEPARATION MEDIA; INNER DIAMETERS AB Monolithic poly(butyl methacrylate-co-ethylene dimethacrylate) columns have been prepared in capillaries ranging in inner diameter from 5 to 75 pm using thermally initiated free-radical polymerization of a mixture of butyl methacrylate, ethylene dimethacrylate, and porogens at different temperatures. Scanning electron microscopy and the measurement of hydrodynamic properties reveal that the downward scalability of die monolithic columns is greatly affected by the confinement effect of the capillary wall resulting from the decreased volume-to-surface ratio as the capillary diameter is decreased. The downscaling process is affected most by the polymerization temperature, the diffusion of the propagating radicals, and the density of coverage of polymerizable groups on the inner walls of the capillary. Optimization of all these factors enables the preparation of monolithic structures in capillaries with inner diameters as low as 5 pm while retaining the desirable properties of monoliths prepared in much larger capillaries. Under these conditions, formation of undesired dense polymer layers attached to the capillary wall was minimized. The chromatographic performance of 10, 25, and 50 pm capillaries evaluated in the reversed phase gradient separation of three proteins showed no change in elution times at identical flow velocities and gradient times, while peak elution width was the smallest with the narrowest capillary.

As the repository capacity is mainly constrained by thermal design limits on the repository rocks, a detailed mountain-scale heat transfer calculation is needed for repository capacity impact analysis. In this paper, a simplified repository capacity impact analysis method is proposed as an alternative to performing repository scale heat transfer analysis. The method is based on the use of integrated decay heat load (IDHL) limits. The derived integrated decay heat loads were found to appropriately represent the drift wall temperature limit (200 degrees C) and the midway between adjacent drifts temperature limit (96 degrees C) under the high temperature operating mode as long as the wastes are uniformly loaded into the repository. Results indicated that the long-term integrated decay heat load (IDHL(L)) and the short-term integrated decay heat load (IDHL(S)) can be effectively used to represent the repository capacity impact for SNFs and HLWs, respectively. Comparisons indicated good agreement between the proposed IDHL method and the repository heat transfer analysis-based approach. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

TI On the order of general linear methods SO APPLIED MATHEMATICS LETTERS LA English DT Article DE General linear methods; Order conditions; Ordinary differential equations AB General linear (GL) methods are numerical algorithms used to solve ODEs. The standard order conditions analysis involves the GL matrix itself and a starting procedure; however, a finishing method (F) is required to extract the actual ODE solution. The standard order analysis and stability are sufficient for the convergence of any GL method. Nonetheless, using a simple GL scheme, we show that the order definition may be too restrictive. Specifically, the order for GL methods with low order intermediate components may be underestimated. In this note we explore the order conditions for GL schemes and propose a new definition for characterizing the order of GL methods, which is focused on the final result - the outcome of F - and can provide more effective algebraic order conditions.

This process represents a significant interference in two-photon, laser induced-fluorescence (TP-LIF) detection of atomic hydrogen in flames. Relative TP-LIF profiles of the photolytically produced H atoms were measured using a pump-probe technique in atmospheric-pressure, premixed CH(4)/O(2)/N(2) flames. A high-fluence, non-resonant, nanosecond pump laser created H atoms by photodissociating flame constituents, and a copropagating, non-perturbing picosecond laser probed the photolytically produced Hatoms via TP-LIF. Spatial profiles of photolytically produced H atoms indicate that both intermediate and product species contribute to the interference in all flames. Excellent agreement between simulated and measured interference signals is observed in the product region of the flames. Vibrationally excited H(2)O is the dominant source of interference in the product region, but an additional contribution is attributed to vibrationally excited OH radicals. In the flame-front region, CH(3) is the dominant precursor, and photodissociation of C(2)H(2) becomes increasingly important in rich flames. Mechanisms for sequential photodissociation of CH(3) and C(2)H(2) are presented, indicating that complete dissociation at 205 nm of both precursors is feasible. C1 [Kulatilaka, W. D.; Frank, J.

Without injection seeding, this multi-mode laser generates pulses with large intensity fluctuations with sub-nanosecond rise times. The experimental results described here demonstrate that at fluences below 0.6 J/cm(2) LII signals are insensitive to fluence fluctuations on nanosecond time scales. At fluences above 0.6 J/cm(2) fluctuations in the laser profile cause the rising edge of the LII profile to move around in time relative to the center of the laser pulse causing a broader average profile that shifts to earlier times. Such fluctuations also lead to a decrease in the average LII temporal profile by up to 12% at a fluence of 3.5 J/cm(2). A timing jitter on the trigger of the data acquisition, such as that produced by triggering on the laser Q-switch synchronization pulse, has a negligible effect on the shape and temporal maximum of the LII signal. Additional jitter, however, considerably reduces the peak of the LII temporal profiles at fluences as low as 0.15 J/cm(2). Neither fast fluence fluctuations nor trigger jitter have a significant effect on gated LII signals, such as those used to infer soot volume fraction. C1 [Goulay, F.; Schrader, P. E.; Michelsen, H.

One of their performance challenges is the fact that vehicles suppress the natural background and, thus, potentially reduce probability of detection of threat items. Here we test several methods to adjust the detection to background suppression in the context of signal estimation. We show that. for the small-to-moderate suppression magnitudes, suppression adjustment leads to higher detection probability. However, for signals triggering alarm without an adjustment, adjustment does not improve estimation of the signal location, only moderately improves estimation of the signal magnitude, and does not improve estimation of the signal width.

Phosphate fertilization is a particular problem because heavy use leads to groundwater contamination and waterway eutrophication. Sustainable agriculture could be promoted by harnessing soil microbes, in particular fluorescent pseudomonads, to mobilize soil inorganic phosphate and increase bioavailability for plants. In this study, a long term field site was used to assess the effects of conventional or no phosphate addition on the phosphate solubilizing fluorescent pseudomonad community. 752 fluorescent pseudomonad isolates were recovered from the rhizospheres of wheat and barley and classified as strong, weak or non-phosphate solubilizers on the basis of clearing zones formed on medium containing insoluble Ca(3)(PO(4))(2), Surprisingly, no differences in the percentages of strong, weak and non-phosphate solubilizing isolates were observed when comparing isolate collections from the different crop types or different input regimes. Amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis (ARDRA) profiling and DNA sequence analysis of the 16S rDNA and gyrB genes was applied to a subset of the isolates to determine whether an effect of fertilizer input could be detected at the taxonomic level. No effect of phosphate fertilizer was seen, but the data did reveal that 82% of the strong-solubilizing isolates were clustered into one taxonomic group that completely lacked non-solubilizing isolates. These findings suggest that one phylogenetic lineage within the A fluorescens complex has superior phosphate solubilizing potential and supports the view that it may be possible to select a Pseudomonas community with an enhanced capacity to mobilize inorganic phosphate in agricultural soils.

TI Source detection using a 3D sparse representation: application to the Fermi gamma-ray space telescope SO ASTRONOMY & ASTROPHYSICS LA English DT Article DE methods: data analysis; techniques: image processing ID POISSON NOISE; WAVELET AB The multiscale variance stabilization Transform (MSVST) has recently been proposed for Poisson data denoising (Zhang et al. 2008a). This procedure, which is nonparametric, is based on thresholding wavelet coefficients. The restoration algorithm applied after thresholding provides good conservation of source flux. We present in this paper an extension of the MSVST to 3D data-in fact 2D-1D data-when the third dimension is not a spatial dimension, but the wavelength, the energy, or the time. We show that the MSVST can be used for detecting and characterizing astrophysical sources of high-energy gamma rays, using realistic simulated observations with the Large Area Telescope (LAT). The LAT was launched in June 2008 on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope mission. Source detection in the LAT data is complicated by the low fluxes of point sources relative to the diffuse celestial foreground, the limited angular resolution, and the tremendous variation in that resolution with energy (from tens of degrees at similar to 30 MeV to similar to 0.1 degrees at 10 GeV). The high-energy gamma-ray sky is also quite dynamic, with a large population of sources such active galaxies with accretion-powered black holes producing high-energy jets, episodically flaring. The fluxes of these sources can change by an order of magnitude or more on time scales of hours. Perhaps the majority of blazars will have average fluxes that are too low to be detected but could be found during the hours or days that they are flaring. The MSVST algorithm is very fast relative to traditional likelihood model fitting, and permits efficient detection across the time dimension and immediate estimation of spectral properties. Astrophysical sources of gamma rays, especially active galaxies, are typically quite variable, and our current work may lead to a reliable method to quickly characterize the flaring properties of newly-detected sources.

TI VLBA polarimetric observations of the CSS quasar 3C 147 SO ASTRONOMY & ASTROPHYSICS LA English DT Article DE polarization; galaxies: quasars: individual: 3C 147; galaxies: jets; radio continuum: galaxies ID STEEP-SPECTRUM SOURCES; EXTRAGALACTIC RADIO-SOURCES; ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI; SCALE ROTATION-MEASURE; POLARIZATION PROPERTIES; 5 GHZ; FARADAY-ROTATION; SAMPLE; JET; GALAXIES AB Aims. We report new VLBA polarimetric observations of the compact steep-spectrum (CSS) quasar 3C 147 (B0538 + 498) at 5 and 8.4 GHz. Methods. By using multifrequency VLBA observations, we derived milliarcsecond-resolution images of the total intensity, polarisation, and rotation measure distributions, by combining our new observations with archival data. Results. The source shows a one-sided structure, with a compact region, and a component extending about 200 mas to the south-west. The compact region is resolved into two main components with polarised emission, a complex rotation measure distribution, and a magnetic field dominated by components perpendicular to the source axis. Conclusions. By considering all the available data, we examine the possible location of the core component, and discuss two possible interpretations of the observed structure of this source: core-jet and lobe-hot spot. Further observations to unambiguously determine the location of the core would help distinguish between the two possibilities discussed here.

CA Pierre Auger Collaboration TI Atmospheric effects on extensive air showers observed with the surface detector of the Pierre Auger observatory SO ASTROPARTICLE PHYSICS LA English DT Article DE Extensive air showers; UHECR; Atmosphere; Weather ID COSMIC-RAY CASCADES; ENERGY; RECONSTRUCTION; SIMULATION; PROFILES; IMPACT AB Atmospheric parameters, Such as pressure (P), temperature (T) and density (rho proportional to P/T), affect the development of extensive air showers initiated by energetic cosmic rays. We have Studied the impact of atmospheric variations on extensive air showers by means of the surface detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory. The rate of events shows a similar to 10% seasonal modulation and similar to 2% diurnal one. We find that the observed behaviour is explained by a model including the effects associated with the variations of P and rho. The former affects the longitudinal development of air showers while the latter influences the Moliere radius and hence the lateral distribution of the shower particles. The model is validated with full simulations of extensive air showers using atmospheric profiles measured at the site of the Pierre Auger Observatory. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

TI On possible interpretations of the high energy electron-positron spectrum measured by the Fermi Large Area Telescope SO ASTROPARTICLE PHYSICS LA English DT Article DE Cosmic ray electrons and positrons; Pulsars; Dark-matter; Fermi-LAT ID COSMIC-RAY ELECTRONS; DARK-MATTER; SUPERNOVA-REMNANTS; GAMMA-RAYS; PULSARS; PROPAGATION; ORIGIN; FLIGHT AB The Fermi-LAT experiment recently reported high precision measurements of the spectrum of cosmic-ray electrons-plus-positrons (CRE) between 20 GeV and 1 TeV. The spectrum shows no prominent spectral features, and is significantly harder than that inferred from several previous experiments. Here we discuss several interpretations of the Fermi results based either on a single large scale Galactic CRE component or by invoking additional electron-positron primary sources, e.g. nearby pulsars or particle dark matter annihilation. We show that while the reported Fermi-LAT data alone can be interpreted in terms of a single component scenario, when combined with other complementary experimental results, specifically the CRE spectrum measured by H.E.S.S. and especially the positron fraction reported by PAMELA between 1 and 100 GeV, that class of models fails to provide a consistent interpretation. Rather, we find that several combinations of parameters, involving both the pulsar and dark matter scenarios, allow a consistent description of those results. We also briefly discuss the possibility of discriminating between the pulsar and dark matter interpretations by looking for a possible anisotropy in the CRE flux. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.

We use ORION, an adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) three-dimensional gravito-radiation-hydrodyanics code, to simulate low-mass star formation in a turbulent molecular cloud. We compare the distributions of stellar masses, accretion rates, and temperatures in the cases with and without radiative transfer, and we demonstrate that radiative feedback has a profound effect on accretion, multiplicity, and mass by reducing the number of stars formed and the total rate at which gas turns into stars. We also show that once the star formation reaches a steady state, protostellar radiation is by far the dominant source of energy in the simulation, exceeding viscous dissipation and compressional heating by at least an order of magnitude. Calculations that omit radiative feedback from protstars significantly underestimate the gas temperature and the strength of this effect. Although heating from protostars is mainly confined to the protostellar cores, we find that it is sufficient to suppress disk fragmentation that would otherwise result in very low-mass companions or brown dwarfs. We demonstrate that the mean protostellar accretion rate increases with the final stellar mass so that the star formation time is only a weak function of mass. C1 [Offner, Stella S.

These campaigns obtained UV and X-ray data using the XMM-Newton satellite, while the gamma-ray data were obtained utilizing three imaging atmospheric Cerenkov telescopes, the Whipple 10 m telescope and VERITAS, both based in Arizona, as well as the MAGIC telescope, based on La Palma in the Canary Islands. The coordinated effort between the gamma-ray groups allowed for truly simultaneous data in UV/X-ray/gamma-ray wavelengths during a significant portion of the XMM-Newton observations. This simultaneous coverage allowed for a reliable search for correlations between UV, X-ray, and gamma-ray variability over the course of the observations. Investigations of spectral hysteresis and modeling of the spectral energy distributions are also presented. C1 [Acciari, V. A.; Benbow, W.; Kildea, J.; Perkins, J.

A general relativistic (GR) ray-tracing code is used to treat the radiative transfer of polarized synchrotron emission from the flow. The synchrotron self-Comptonization and bremsstrahlung emission components are also included. It is shown that the model can readily account for the millimeter to submillimeter emission characteristics with an accretion rate of similar to 6 x 10(17) g s(-1) and an inclination angle of similar to 40 degrees. However, the corresponding model-predicted near-infrared (NIR) and X-ray fluxes are more than one order of magnitude lower than the observed "quiescent" state values. While the extended quiescent-state X-ray emission has been attributed to thermal emission from the large-scale accretion flow, the NIR emission and flares are likely dominated by emission regions either within the last stable orbit of a Schwarzschild black hole or associated with outflows. With the viscous parameter derived from numerical simulations, there is still a degeneracy between the electron heating rate and the magnetic parameter. A fully GR treatment with the black hole spin incorporated will resolve these issues.

In this work, we introduce a new matched filter richness estimator, and test its performance using the maxBCG cluster catalog. Our new estimator significantly reduces the variance in the L(X)-richness relation, from sigma(ln) (2)(LX) = (0.86 +/- 0.02)(2) to sigma(ln) (2)(LX) = (0.69 +/- 0.02)(2). Relative to the maxBCG richness estimate, it also removes the strong redshift dependence of the L(X)-richness scaling relations, and is significantly more robust to photometric and redshift errors. These improvements are largely due to the better treatment of galaxy color data. We also demonstrate the scatter in the L(X)-richness relation depends on the aperture used to estimate cluster richness, and introduce a novel approach for optimizing said aperture which can easily be generalized to other mass tracers.

To this purpose, 91 candidate X-ray groups/poor clusters at redshift 0.1 <= z <= 1 are selected from the COSMOS 2 deg(2) survey, based only on their X-ray luminosity and extent. This sample is complemented by 27 nearby clusters with a robust, analogous determination of the total and stellar mass inside R(500). The total sample of 118 groups and clusters with z <= 1 spans a range in M(500) of similar to 10(13)-10(15) M(circle dot). We find that the stellar mass fraction associated with galaxies at R(500) decreases with increasing total mass as M(500)(-0.37+/-0.04), independent of redshift. Estimating the total gas mass fraction from a recently derived, high-quality scaling relation, the total baryon mass fraction (f(500)(stars+gas) = f(500)(stars) + f(500)(gas)) is found to increase by similar to 25%, when M(500) increases from < M > = 5 x 10(13) M(circle dot) to < M > = 7 x 10(14)M(circle dot). After consideration of a plausible contribution due to intracluster light (11%-22% of the total stellar mass) and gas depletion through the hierarchical assembly process (10% of the gas mass), the estimated values of the total baryon mass fraction are still lower than the latest CMB measure of the same quantity (WMAP5), at a significance level of 3.3 sigma for groups of < M > = 5 x 10(13) M(circle dot). The discrepancy decreases toward higher total masses, such that it is 1 sigma at < M > = 7 x 10(14) M(circle dot). We discuss this result in terms of nongravitational processes such as feedback and filamentary heating. C1 [Giodini, S.; Pierini, D.; Finoguenov, A.; Pratt, G.

To this end, we perform large-scale molecular dynamics simulations to calculate the static structure factor of the dense MCP in the neutron star crust from near the photosphere-ocean boundary to the vicinity of the neutron drip point. The structure factors are used to validate a microscopic linear mixing rule that is valid for arbitrarily complex plasmas over a wide range of Coulomb couplings. The microscopic mixing rule in turn implies and validates the linear mixing rule (LMR) for the equation of state properties and also the LMR for the electrical and thermal conductivities of dense MCPs. To make our result as useful as possible, for the specific cases of electrical and thermal conductivities, we provide a simple analytic fit that is valid for arbitrarily complex MCPs over a wide range of Coulomb couplings. We compute the thermal conductivity for a representative compositional profile of the outer crust of an accreting neutron star in which hundreds of nuclear species can be present. We utilize our results to re-examine the so-called impurity parameter formalism as used to characterize impure plasmas. C1 [Daligault, J.; Gupta, S.] Los Alamos Natl Lab, Los Alamos, NM 87545 USA.

Equilibrium magnetic fields are assumed to have only the toroidal component. Using linear theory analysis, we show that the density structure can be unstable to nonaxisymmetric modes. We find that, for the magnetic field profiles we have studied, magnetic fields always provide a stabilizing effect to the unstable RVI modes. We discuss the physical mechanism of this stabilizing effect. The threshold and properties of the unstable modes are also discussed in detail. In addition, we present linear stability results for the global magnetorotational instability when the disk is compressible.

We also present new 3.0-4.1 mu m spectra for five of these dwarfs. These data are supplemented by existing red and near-infrared spectra (similar to 0.6-2.5 mu m), as well as red through mid-infrared spectroscopy of seven other L and T dwarfs presented by Cushing et al. We compare these spectra to those generated from the model atmospheres of Saumon & Marley. The models reproduce the observed spectra well, except in the case of one very red L3.5 dwarf, 2MASS J22244381-0158521. The broad wavelength coverage allows us to constrain almost independently the four parameters used to describe these photospheres in our models: effective temperature (T(eff)), surface gravity, grain sedimentation efficiency (f(sed)), and vertical gas transport efficiency (K(zz)). The CH(4) bands centered at 2.2, 3.3, and 7.65 mu m and the CO band at 2.3 mu m are sensitive to K(zz), and indicates that chemical mixing is important in all L and T dwarf atmospheres. The sample of L3.5 to T5.5 dwarfs spans the range 1800 K greater than or similar to T(eff) greater than or similar to 1000 K, with an L-T transition (spectral types L7 to T4) that lies between 1400 and 1100 K for dwarfs with typical near-infrared colors; bluer and redder dwarfs can be 100 K warmer or cooler, respectively, when using infrared spectral types. When using optical spectral types, the bluer dwarfs have more typical T(eff) values as they tend to have earlier optical spectral types. In this model analysis, f(sed) increases rapidly between types T0 and T4, indicating that increased sedimentation can explain the rapid disappearance of clouds at this stage of brown dwarf evolution. There is a suggestion that the transition to dust-free atmospheres happens at lower temperatures for lower gravity dwarfs. C1 [Stephens, D.

A comparison of the charge exchange (CX) spectra with those obtained under electron-impact excitation showed marked differences. In the CX spectra, an enhancement was observed in the transitions from levels with high principal quantum numbers, n = 4, 5, 6 -> n = 2 in comparison with the n = 3 -> n = 2 transitions that dominate the direct excitation spectra. An even greater enhancement was recorded in the transitions from the levels of electron capture to the ground states: n = 7, 8, 9 -> n = 2. The spectra mainly consist of emission from S XIV, but lower charge states such as S XIII, S XII, and S xi also contribute. The results have been compared with observations made by the Chandra and XMM-Newton X-ray Observatories of Jupiter's polar regions. The enhancement we noticed in transitions from the high-n levels is not seen in the Chandra spectra. C1 [Frankel, M.; Beiersdorfer, P.; Brown, G. V.; Gu, M.

TI FROM SHOCK BREAKOUT TO PEAK AND BEYOND: EXTENSIVE PANCHROMATIC OBSERVATIONS OF THE TYPE Ib SUPERNOVA 2008D ASSOCIATED WITH SWIFT X-RAY TRANSIENT 080109 SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Review DE galaxies: distances and redshifts; galaxies: individual (NGC 2770); supernovae: general; supernovae: individual (SN 2008D) ID CORE-COLLAPSE SUPERNOVA; NEUTRON-STAR KICKS; LIGHT CURVES; IA SUPERNOVAE; IC SUPERNOVAE; MASSIVE STARS; OPTICAL SPECTROSCOPY; IMAGE SUBTRACTION; UBVRI PHOTOMETRY; BURST CONNECTION AB We present extensive early photometric (ultraviolet through near-infrared) and spectroscopic (optical and near-infrared) data on supernova (SN) 2008D as well as X-ray data analysis on the associated Swift X-ray transient (XRT) 080109. Our data span a time range of 5 hr before the detection of the X-ray transient to 150 days after its detection, and a detailed analysis allowed us to derive constraints on the nature of the SN and its progenitor; throughout we draw comparisons with results presented in the literature and find several key aspects that differ. We show that the X-ray spectrum of XRT 080109 can be fit equally well by an absorbed power law or a superposition of about equal parts of both power law and blackbody. Our data first established that SN 2008D is a spectroscopically normal SN Ib (i.e., showing conspicuous He lines) and showed that SN 2008D had a relatively long rise time of 18 days and a modest optical peak luminosity. The early-time light curves of the SN are dominated by a cooling stellar envelope (for Delta t approximate to 0.1-4 days, most pronounced in the blue bands) followed by (56)Ni decay. We construct a reliable measurement of the bolometric output for this stripped-envelope SN, and, combined with estimates of E(K) and M(ej) from the literature, estimate the stellar radius R(star) of its probable Wolf-Rayet progenitor. According to the model of Waxman et al. and Chevalier & Fransson, we derive R(star)(W07) = 1.2 +/- 0.7 R(circle dot) and R(star)(CF08) = 12 +/- 7 R(circle dot), respectively; the latter being more in line with typical WN stars. Spectra obtained at three and four months after maximum light show double-peaked oxygen lines that we associate with departures from spherical symmetry, as has been suggested for the inner ejecta of a number of SN Ib cores.

TI GAS-RICH MERGERS IN LCDM: DISK SURVIVABILITY AND THE BARYONIC ASSEMBLY OF GALAXIES SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE cosmology: theory; dark matter; galaxies: formation; galaxies: halos; methods: N-body simulations ID STAR-FORMING GALAXIES; DIGITAL SKY SURVEY; DIFFUSE INTRAHALO LIGHT; INITIAL MASS FUNCTION; METAL-POOR STARS; STELLAR MASS; SECULAR EVOLUTION; MINOR MERGERS; GALACTIC DISKS; HIGH-REDSHIFT AB We use N-body simulations and observationally normalized relations between dark matter halo mass, stellar mass, and cold gas mass to derive robust expectations about the baryonic content of major mergers out to redshift z similar to 2. First, we find that the majority of major mergers (m/M > 0.3) experienced by the Milky Way size dark matter halos should have been gas-rich, and that gas-rich mergers are increasingly common at high redshifts. Though the frequency of major mergers into galaxy halos in our simulations greatly exceeds the observed early-type galaxy fraction, the frequency of gas-poor major mergers is consistent with the observed fraction of bulge-dominated galaxies across the halo mass range M(DM) similar to 10(11)-10(13) M(circle dot). These results lend support to the conjecture that mergers with high-baryonic gas fractions play an important role in building and/or preserving disk galaxies in the universe. Second, we find that there is a transition mass below which a galaxy's past major mergers were primarily gas-rich and above which they were gas-poor. The associated stellar mass scale corresponds closely to that marking the observed bimodal division between blue, star-forming, disk-dominated systems and red, bulge-dominated systems with old populations. Finally, we find that the overall fraction of a galaxy's cold baryons deposited directly via major mergers is significant. Approximately similar to 20%-30% of the cold baryonic material in M(star) similar to 10(10.5) M(circle dot) (M(DM) similar to 10(12) M(circle dot)) galaxies is accreted as cold gas or stars via major mergers since z = 2, with most of this accretion in the form of cold gas. For more massive galaxies with M(star) similar to 10(11) M(circle dot) (M(DM) similar to 10(13) M(circle dot)), the fraction of baryons amassed in mergers since z = 2 is even higher, similar to 40%, but most of these accreted baryons are delivered directly in the form of stars. This baryonic mass deposition is almost unavoidable, and provides a limit on the fraction of a galaxy's cold baryons that can originate in cold flows or from hot halo cooling.

The difficulty in correctly accounting theoretically for the contribution of these objects to the uncertainty in C-l leads to a reduced sensitivity to sigma(8). We show that a simple solution is to mask out the brightest clusters in the map before measuring the power spectrum. We demonstrate that fairly conservative masking can reduce the variance and Gaussianize the statistics significantly, thus increasing the sensitivity to cosmological parameters. Choosing which objects to mask is nontrivial; we found that using a fixed sky density produced a well-defined and well-behaved estimate that can easily be applied to real maps. For example, masking the 10 (90) brightest clusters in a 100 deg(2) SZ map will improve the sensitivity to C-l by a factor of two at l = 1000 (2000) and 1.5 at l = 2000 (4000). We show that even in the presence of astrophysical foregrounds (primary cosmic microwave background and point sources) and instrument noise, one can increase the precision on measurements of sigma(8) by masking up to 0.9 clusters deg(-2).

TI LOOKING INTO THE FIREBALL: ROTSE-III AND SWIFT OBSERVATIONS OF EARLY GAMMA-RAY BURST AFTERGLOWS SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Review DE gamma rays: bursts ID EARLY OPTICAL AFTERGLOW; HOST GALAXIES; LIGHT CURVES; THEORETICAL IMPLICATIONS; SPECTRAL EVOLUTION; GRB OBSERVATIONS; PROMPT EMISSION; DUST EXTINCTION; XRT DATA; FLARES AB We report on a complete set of early optical afterglows of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) obtained with the Robotic Optical Transient Search Experiment (ROTSE-III) telescope network from 2005 March through 2007 June. This set is comprised of 12 afterglows with early optical and Swift/X-Ray Telescope observations, with a median ROTSE-III response time of 45 s after the start of gamma-ray emission (8 s after the GCN notice time). These afterglows span 4 orders of magnitude in optical luminosity, and the contemporaneous X-ray detections allow multi-wavelength spectral analysis. Excluding X-ray flares, the broadband synchrotron spectra show that the optical and X-ray emission originate in a common region, consistent with predictions of the external forward shock in the fireball model. However, the fireball model is inadequate to predict the temporal decay indices of the early afterglows, even after accounting for possible long-duration continuous energy injection. We find that the optical afterglow is a clean tracer of the forward shock, and we use the peak time of the forward shock to estimate the initial bulk Lorentz factor of the GRB outflow, and find 100 less than or similar to Gamma(0) less than or similar to 1000, consistent with expectations.

We demonstrate that because gravitational lensing can scatter galaxies across the brightness and size thresholds, cosmic shear experiments suffer from lensing bias. We calculate the effect on the shear power spectrum and show that-unless corrected for-it will lead analysts to cosmological parameters estimates that are biased at the 2-3 sigma level in DETF Stage III experiments, such as the Dark Energy Survey.

TI PRECISION MEASUREMENTS OF THE CLUSTER RED SEQUENCE USING AN ERROR-CORRECTED GAUSSIAN MIXTURE MODEL SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE cosmology: observations; galaxies: clusters: general; methods: data analysis ID COLOR-MAGNITUDE RELATION; EARLY-TYPE GALAXIES; DIGITAL SKY SURVEY; X-RAY-CLUSTERS; ELLIPTIC GALAXIES; LUMINOSITY FUNCTIONS; DISTANT CLUSTERS; EVOLUTION; CALIBRATION; DEPENDENCE AB The red sequence is an important feature of galaxy clusters and plays a crucial role in optical cluster detection. Measurement of the slope and scatter of the red sequence are affected both by selection of red sequence galaxies and measurement errors. In this paper, we describe a new error-corrected Gaussian Mixture Model for red sequence galaxy identification. Using this technique, we can remove the effects of measurement error and extract unbiased information about the intrinsic properties of the red sequence. We use this method to select red sequence galaxies in each of the 13,823 clusters in the maxBCG catalog, and measure the red sequence ridgeline location and scatter of each. These measurements provide precise constraints on the variation of the average red galaxy populations in the observed frame with redshift. We find that the scatter of the red sequence ridgeline increases mildly with redshift, and that the slope decreases with redshift. We also observe that the slope does not strongly depend on cluster richness. Using similar methods, we show that this behavior is mirrored in a spectroscopic sample of field galaxies, further emphasizing that ridgeline properties are independent of environment. These precise measurements serve as an important observational check on simulations and mock galaxy catalogs. The observed trends in the slope and scatter of the red sequence ridgeline with redshift are clues to possible intrinsic evolution of the cluster red sequence itself. Most importantly, the methods presented in this work lay the groundwork for further improvements in optically based cluster cosmology.

The primary objective of GBM is to extend the energy range over which bursts are observed downward from the energy range of the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on Fermi into the hard X-ray range where extensive previous data sets exist. A secondary objective is to compute burst locations onboard to allow re-orienting the spacecraft so that the LAT can observe delayed emission from bright bursts. GBM uses an array of 12 sodium iodide scintillators and two bismuth germanate scintillators to detect gamma rays from similar to 8 keV to similar to 40 MeV over the full unocculted sky. The onboard trigger threshold is similar to 0.7 photons cm(-2) s(-1) (50-300 keV, 1 s peak). GBM generates onboard triggers for similar to 250 GRBs per year.

COSMOS Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging of the galaxy shows a tidal tail, indicating that the galaxy recently underwent a merger, as well as two bright point sources near the galaxy's center. The luminosities of these sources (derived from the HST image) and their emission line flux ratios (derived from Keck/DEIMOS slit spectroscopy) suggest that both are AGNs and not star-forming regions or supernovae. Observations from zCOSMOS, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, XMM-Newton, Spitzer, and the Very Large Array fortify the evidence for AGN activity. With HST imaging we measure a projected spatial offset between the two AGNs of 1.75 +/- 0.03 h(-1) kpc, and with DEIMOS we measure a 150 +/- 40 km s(-1) line-of-sight velocity offset between the two AGNs. Combined, these observations provide substantial evidence that COSMOS J100043.15+020637.2 is a merger-remnant galaxy with dual AGNs.

The effect has a distinct spectral signature that allows its separation from other signals in multifrequency CMB data sets. Using CMB anisotropies measured at three frequencies by the BOOMERanG 2003 flight we constrain SZ fluctuations in the 10 arcmin to 1 deg angular range. Propagating errors and potential systematic effects through simulations, we obtain an overall upper limit of 15.3 mu K (2 sigma) for rms SZ fluctuations in a broad bin between multipoles of 250 and 1200 at the Rayleigh-Jeans (RJ) end of the spectrum. The resulting upper limit on the local universe normalization of the density perturbations with BOOMERanG SZ data alone is sigma(SZ)(8) < 1.14 at the 95% confidence level. When combined with other CMB anisotropy and SZ measurements, we find sigma(SZ)(8) < 0.92 (95% c. l.).

The model resolves the observations reasonably well in terms of diurnal cycle and mean magnitude as reflected by high correlation coefficients and low root-mean-square errors. Stations located in the center of the MCMA generally exhibit higher correlation coefficients and lower model biases than those stations located in the peripheral of the MCMA. Large temporal variations in the observed and simulated O-3 concentrations are noted from station to station during the MILAGRO period. Sensitivity analyses Of O-3 concentrations to changes in NOx, and VOC emissions rates suggest that O-3 production in the MCMA is VOC-sensitive, and VOC-emissions reduction appears to be an effective strategy for reducing high surface O-3 concentrations in the MCMA.

The phosphatase activity of the correspondent Sts-1 domain, Sts-1(PGM), is key for its ability to negatively regulate the signaling of membrane-bound receptors including TCR and the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). A nucleophilic histidine, which is transiently phosphorylated during the phosphatase reaction, is essential for the activity. Here, we present the crystal structure of Sts-2(PGM) in the phosphorylated active form and bound to VO3, which represent structures of an intermediate and of a transition state analogue along the path of the dephosphorylation reaction. In the former structure, the proposed nucleophilic His366 Is the only phoshorylated, residue and is stabilized by several interactions with conserved basic residues within the active site. In the latter structure, the vanadium atom sits in the middle of a trigonal bipyramid formed by the three oxygen atoms of the VO3 molecule, atom NE2 of His366, and an apical water molecule W-a. The V-NE2 bond length (2.25 angstrom) suggests that VO3 is not covalently attached to His366 and that the reaction mechanism is partially associative. The two structures also suggest a role for Glu476 in activating a uniquely positioned water molecule. In both structures, the conformation of the active site is remarkably similar to the one seen in apo-Sts-2(PGM) suggesting that the spatial arrangement of the catalytic residues does not change during the dephosphorylation reaction.

The robust nature of the pyrolysis technology, which allows considerable flexibility in both the type and quality of the biomass feedstock, combined with a distributed network of small pyrolysis plants, would be compatible with existing agriculture and forestry infrastructure. Bio-oil can be used as a fuel in existing industrial boilers. Biochar can be used with existing infrastructure as a replacement for pulverized coal; however, use of biochar as a soil amendment results in significant environmental and agronomic benefits. Soil application of biochar is a means of sequestering large amounts of C and may have other greenhouse gas benefits. Preliminary reports of the impact of soil biochar applications on crop yields indicate that biochar quality is very important. Biochar is an effective adsorbent for both nutrients and organic contaminants, hence the presence of biochar in soils has been shown to improve water quality in column leaching and field lysimeters studies and it is anticipated to do the same for agricultural watersheds. The pyrolysis platform for producing bio-oil and biochar from biomass appears to be a practical, effective, and environmentally sustainable means of producing large quantities of renewable bioenergy while simultaneously reducing emissions of greenhouse gases. At the present time, the pyrolysis platform is economically marginal because markets for bio-oil and biochar are highly competitive. However, if the USA adopts a program for controlling greenhouse gases, the pyrolysis platform would be highly competitive. Published in 2009 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

TI IMG ER: a system for microbial genome annotation expert review and curation SO BIOINFORMATICS LA English DT Article ID DATABASE; SEQUENCE; PROJECT; ENZYMES AB Motivation: A rapidly increasing number of microbial genomes are sequenced by organizations worldwide and are eventually included into various public genome data resources. The quality of the annotations depends largely on the original dataset providers, with erroneous or incomplete annotations often carried over into the public resources and difficult to correct. Results: We have developed an Expert Review (ER) version of the Integrated Microbial Genomes (IMG) system, with the goal of supporting systematic and efficient revision of microbial genome annotations. IMG ER provides tools for the review and curation of annotations of both new and publicly available microbial genomes within IMG's rich integrated genome framework. New genome datasets are included into IMG ER prior to their public release either with their native annotations or with annotations generated by IMG ER's annotation pipeline. IMG ER tools allow addressing annotation problems detected with IMG's comparative analysis tools, such as genes missed by gene prediction pipelines or genes without an associated function. Over the past year, IMG ER was used for improving the annotations of about 150 microbial genomes.

We used acute tryptophan depletion (ATD) to investigate the effect of temporarily reducing brain serotonin synthesis on neural and behavioral responses to emotional stimuli in remitted MDD subjects (rMDD) and healthy control subjects. Methods: Twenty control subjects and 23 rMDD subjects who had been unmedicated and in remission for >= 3 months completed the study. Following tryptophan or sham depletion, participants performed an emotional-processing task during functional magnetic resonance imaging. In addition, resting state regional blood flow was measured using arterial spin labeling. Results: Neither group exhibited significant mood change following ATD. However, tryptophan depletion differentially affected the groups in terms of hemodynamic responses to emotional words in a number of structures implicated in the pathophysiology of MDD, including medial thalamus and caudate. These interactions were driven by increased responses to emotional words in the control subjects, with little effect in the patients under the ATD condition. Following ATD, habenula blood flow increased significantly in the rMDD subjects relative to the control subjects, and increasing amygdala blood flow was associated with more negative emotional bias score across both groups. Conclusions: These data provide evidence for elevated habenula blood flow and alterations in the neural processing of emotional stimuli following ATD in rMDD subjects, even in the absence of overt mood change. However, further studies are required to determine whether these findings represent mechanisms of resilience or vulnerability to MDD.

Recent work has demonstrated that ionic liquids are excellent solvents for processing woody biomass and lignin. Seeking to exploit ionic liquids as media for depolymerization of lignin, we investigated reactions of lignin model compounds in these solvents. Using Bronsted acid catalysts in 1-ethyl-3-methyl-imidazolium triflate at moderate temperatures below 200 degrees C, we obtained up to 11.6% molar yield of the dealkylation product 2-methoxyphenol from the model compound 2-methoxy-4-(2-propenyl)phenol and cleaved 2-phenylethyl phenyl ether, a model for lignin ethers. Despite these successes, acid catalysis failed in dealkylation of the saturated-chain model compound 4-ethyl-2-methoxyphenol and did not produce monomeric products from organosolv lignin, demonstrating that further work is required to understand the complex chemistry of lignin depolymerization.

In this study, the thermodynamic characterization of interactions of APH with its ligands are done by determining dissociation constants Of enzyme-substrate complexes using electron paramagnetic resonance and fluorescence spectroscopy. Metal binding studies showed that three divalent cations bind to the apo-enzyme with low affinity. In the presence of AMPPCP, binding of the divalent cations occurs with 7-to-37-fold higher affinity to three additional sites dependent on the presence and absence of different aminoglycosides. Surprisingly, when both ligands, AMPPCP and aminoglycoside, are present, the number of high affinity metal binding sites is reduced to two with a 2-fold increase in binding affinity. The presence of divalent cations, with or without aminoglycoside present, shows only a small effect (<3-fold) on binding affinity of the nucleotide to the enzyme. The presence of metal-nucleotide, but not nucleotide alone, increases the binding affinity of aminoglycosides to APH. Replacement of magnesium (II) with manganese (II) lowered the catalytic rates significantly while affecting the substrate selectivity of the enzyme such that the aminoglycosides with 2'-NH(2) become better substrates (higher V(max)) than those with 2'-OH.

The atomic pair distribution analyses from the high-energy X-ray scattering data and TEM observations show that the two kinds of nanoparticles have different sizes and structural distortions. An average particle size of 6-8 nm with a narrow size distribution was observed for the nanoparticles prepared with the co-precipitation method. Magnetic measurements show that those particles are in ferromagnetic state with a saturation magnetization of 74.3 emu g(-1). For the particles synthesized with the polyol process, a mean diameter of 18-35 nm was observed with a saturation magnetization of 78.2 emu g(-1). Although both kinds of nanoparticles are well crystallized, an obviously higher structural distortion is evidenced for the co-precipitation processed nanoparticles. The synthesized Fe3O4 particles with different mean particle size were used for treating the wastewater contaminated with the metal ions, such as Ni(II), Cu(II), Cd(II) and Cr(VI). It is found that the adsorption capacity of Fe3O4 particles increased with decreasing the particle size or increasing the Surface area. While the particle size was decreased to 8 nm, the Fe3O4 particles can absorb almost all of the above-mentioned metal ions in the contaminated water with the adsorption capacity of 34.93 mg/g, which is similar to 7 times higher than that using the coarse particles. We attribute the extremely high adsorption capacity to the highly-distorted surface. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. C1 [Shen, Y. F.; Tang, J.; Nie, Z. H.; Wang, Y.

Swelling of the plant cell wall, attributed to disruption of inter- and intramolecular hydrogen bonding between cellulose fibrils and lignin, followed by complete dissolution of biomass, was observed without using imaging techniques that require staining, embedding, and processing of biomass. Subsequent cellulose regeneration via the addition of an anti-solvent, such as water, was observed in situ and provided direct evidence of significant rejection of lignin from the recovered polysaccharides. This observation was confirmed by chemical analysis of the regenerated cellulose. In comparison to untreated biomass, ionic liquid pretreated biomass produces cellulose that is efficiently hydrolyzed with commercial cellulase cocktail with high sugar yields over a relatively short time interval.

TI Invariability of Central Metabolic Flux Distribution in Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 Under Environmental or Genetic Perturbations SO BIOTECHNOLOGY PROGRESS LA English DT Article DE growth rate; (13)C-based; transposon mutants; transcript; metabolite profiles; secondary metabolism ID GROWTH; PATHWAYS; GLUCOSE; STRESS AB An environmentally important bacterium with versatile respiration, Shewanella oneidensis MR-1, displayed significantly different growth rates under three culture conditions: minimal medium (doubling time similar to 3 h), salt stressed minimal medium (doubling time similar to 6 h), and minimal medium with amino acid supplementation (doubling time similar to 1.5 h). (13)C-based metabolic flux analysis indicated that fluxes of central metabolic reactions remained relatively constant under the three growth conditions, which is in stark contrast to the reported significant changes in the transcript and metabolite profiles under various growth conditions. Furthermore, 10 transposon mutants of S. oneidensis MR-1 were randomly chosen from a transposon library and their flux distributions through central metabolic pathways were revealed to be identical, even though such mutational processes altered the secondary metabolism, for example, glycine and C1 (5,10-Me-THF) metabolism.

TI Metaplastic breast carcinomas are basal-like breast cancers: a genomic profiling analysis SO BREAST CANCER RESEARCH AND TREATMENT LA English DT Article DE Microarrays; Expression profile; Basal-like; Epithelial to mesenchymal transition; Breast cancer ID EPITHELIAL-MESENCHYMAL TRANSITION; SITU HYBRIDIZATION ANALYSIS; SQUAMOUS-CELL CARCINOMA; MAMMARY STEM-CELLS; MOLECULAR PORTRAITS; IDENTIFICATION; EXPRESSION; PHENOTYPE; SUBTYPE; TUMORS AB Background Metaplastic breast carcinomas (MBCs) comprise a group of aggressive and chemotherapy resistant cancers characterised by neoplastic cells displaying differentiation towards squamous epithelium or mesenchymal elements. Previous histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis of MBCs suggested that these cancers would have a basal-like profile. Methods We investigated the molecular subtype of 20 MBCs using microarray-based expression profiling data. These data were compared with those of 79 invasive ductal carcinomas (IDCs) of basal-like phenotype by unsupervised hierarchical clustering, supervised analysis and pathway analysis. Results We demonstrate that 95% of all MBCs are of basal-like molecular subtype. Furthermore, unsupervised hierarchical clustering analysis and pathway analysis of the profiles of MBCs revealed that MBCs are part of the spectrum of basal-like breast cancers. Significance analysis of microarrays (SAM) identified 1,385 transcripts differentially expressed between MBCs and IDCs of basal-like phenotype. Pathway analysis using these genes revealed that DNA repair pathways, including BRCA1 pathway, PTEN, a gene whose loss of function is associated with resistance to chemotherapy, and TOP2A, the molecular target of anthracyclines, are significantly downregulated in MBCs compared to basal-like IDCs. These findings may at least in part explain the reported poor responses to chemotherapy of MBCs. Furthermore, MBCs showed significantly higher expression of genes related to myoepithelial differentiation and epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT). Conclusions Our results demonstrate that MBCs are part of the spectrum of basal-like breast carcinomas and display a myoepithelial and EMT-like molecular make-up. The reported poorer response to chemotherapeutic agents in patients with MBCs may stem from downregulated DNA damage response pathways, PTEN and TOP2A.

TI Orientation and dispersal of hatchling Blanding's turtles (Emydoidea blandingii) from experimental nests SO CANADIAN JOURNAL OF ZOOLOGY-REVUE CANADIENNE DE ZOOLOGIE LA English DT Article ID CHRYSEMYS-PICTA; COMPASS ORIENTATION; PAINTED TURTLE; SEA TURTLES; MOVEMENTS; BEHAVIOR; TESTUDINES; REPTILIA AB We determined initial dispersal directions of 1052 native and 278 experienced hatchling Blanding's turtles (Emydoidea blandingii (Holbrook, 1838)) in experimental arenas in a variety of settings. Dispersal of naive hatchlings was nonrandom in 7 of 10 sites. All nonrandom dispersal patterns suggested hatchlings primarily used vision to orient toward dark far horizons, particularly those associated with riparian habitats. We found no evidence that hatchlings use positive geotaxis, olfaction, humidity gradients, or scent trailing of other individuals during dispersal. Despite the lack of relationships between the changing position of the sun and relationships between nest sites and wetlands, patterns of dispersal were different for hatchlings released in the morning and late afternoon at two sites. Comparisons of the dispersal of naive and translocated experienced hatchlings (those with previous exposure to environmental cues) suggest that hatchlings develop a sun compass within 2 days of emergence from nests. Based on all nonrandom dispersals of hatchlings at arenas, the estimated maximum perception distance of hatchlings was 325 in. In some situations, forest succession, agriculture activities, and introduction of pine trees may increase risks faced by hatchlings dispersing from nests by reducing their ability to find wetlands.

High resolution full-field soft X-ray imaging in the water window is providing new insight on the nano scale of the cement hydration process, which leads to a nano-optimization of cement-based systems. Hard X-ray microtomography images of ice inside cement paste and cracking caused by the alkali-silica reaction (ASR) enables three-dimensional structural identification. The potential of neutron diffraction to determine reactive aggregates by measuring their residual strains and preferred orientation is studied. Results of experiments using these tools are shown on this paper. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. C1 [Monteiro, P. J. M.; Kirchheim, A.

The computed IR spectra and structure of the uranyl-protein complex facilitate interpretation of the observed spectra and confirm the primary binding sites of the transferrin protein with the uranyl ion. Our computed equilibrium geometry and the IR spectra of the uranyl-TF complex reveal that uranyl ion is bound to two tyrosines, one aspartate group, and one carbonate ion. Our IR spectra indicate that histidine is not involved in binding to uranyl with transferrin protein. Out, computations reveal a short. strong hydrogen bond, which could play an important role in the stabilization and formation of the uranyl-TF complex. Computed Laplacian charge plots indicate high chemical reactivity oil this complex as both an electrophile and a nucleophile, facilitating binding to different receptors and thus entry into it number of target organs and the blood-brain barrier. The Mulliken charge density plots and the three-dimensional charge density plots suggest a donor-acceptor mechanism in the complex formation.

We prove stability for a second-order accurate finite-difference discretization of the elastic wave equation in three space dimensions together with a discretization of the proposed non-reflecting boundary condition. The stability proof is based on a discrete energy estimate and is valid for heterogeneous materials. The proof includes all six boundaries of the computational domain where special discretizations are needed at the edges and corners.

TI A novel accelerated moisture absorption test and characterization SO COMPOSITES PART A-APPLIED SCIENCE AND MANUFACTURING LA English DT Article DE Polymer-matrix composites (PMCs); Diffusion ID EPOXY COMPOSITES AB Moisture plays a significant role in influencing the mechanical behavior and long-term durability of composites. With the current available testing techniques the time required for environmental qualification of polymer composites can be on the order of several years and any interruption in the test can result in a significant cost and schedule penalty. Because of these long environmental conditioning times there is a strong desire to accelerate the process to advance environmental qualification of materials for use in commercial and military aerospace structures. An accelerated humidity test technique has been developed where moisture ingression was obtained by increasing the pressure in the test chamber. A hygrothermal humidity chamber was used in combination with D(2)O water to subsequently characterize the diffusion of D(2)O in a carbon/epoxy composite using Nuclear Reaction Analysis (NRA). Moisture content was also measured as a function of through-thickness depth using NRA. The accelerated technique decreased the time to saturation by 80% as compared to conventional diffusion without pressure. Moisture uptake from both conventional and accelerated diffusion exposures followed typical Fickian diffusion response. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

It can handle coupled microbial processes and geochemical reactions such as acid-base, aqueous complexation, redox, mineral dissolution/precipitation, gas dissolution/exsolution, ion exchange, sorption via linear and nonlinear isotherms, and sorption via surface complexation. Hydraulic parameters may change due to mineral precipitation/dissolution reactions. Coupled transport and chemical equations are solved by using sequential iterative approaches. A sequential partly iterative approach (SPIA) is presented which improves the accuracy of the traditional sequential non-iterative approach (SNIA) and is more efficient than the general sequential iterative approach (SIA). While SNIA leads to a substantial saving of computing time, it introduces numerical errors which are especially large for cation exchange reactions. SPIA improves the efficiency of SIA because the iteration between transport and chemical equations is only performed in nodes with a large mass transfer between solid and liquid phases. The efficiency and accuracy of SPIA are compared to those of SIA and SNIA using synthetic examples and a case study of reactive transport through the Llobregat Delta aquitard in Spain. SPIA is found to be as accurate as SIA while requiring significantly less CPU time. In addition, SPIA is much more accurate than SNIA with only a minor increase in computing time. A further enhancement of the efficiency of SPIA is achieved by improving the efficiency of the Newton-Raphson method used for solving chemical equations. Such an improvement is obtained by working with increments of log concentrations and ignoring the terms of the Jacobian matrix containing derivatives of activity coefficients. A proof is given for the symmetry and non-singularity of the Jacobian matrix. Numerical analyses performed with synthetic examples confirm that these modifications improve the efficiency and convergence of the iterative algorithm.

TI Simulating the pervasive fracture of materials and structures using randomly close packed Voronoi tessellations SO COMPUTATIONAL MECHANICS LA English DT Article DE Voronoi; Finite element; Fracture; Fragmentation; Cohesive crack; Sensitivity to initial conditions; Probabilistic ID FINITE-ELEMENT-METHOD; BRITTLE MATERIALS; CRACK-PROPAGATION; SOLID MECHANICS; MESHFREE METHOD; MODEL; FRAGMENTATION; MICROSTRUCTURES; GEOMETRY; GROWTH AB Under extreme loading conditions most often the extent of material and structural fracture is pervasive in the sense that a multitude of cracks are nucleating, propagating in arbitrary directions, coalescing, and branching. Pervasive fracture is a highly nonlinear process involving complex material constitutive behavior, material softening, localization, surface generation, and ubiquitous contact. A pure Lagrangian computational method based on randomly close packed Voronoi tessellations is proposed as a rational and robust approach for simulating the pervasive fracture of materials and structures. Each Voronoi cell is formulated as a finite element using the Reproducing Kernel Method. Fracture surfaces are allowed to nucleate only at the intercell faces, and cohesive tractions are dynamically inserted. The randomly seeded Voronoi cells provide a regularized random network for representing fracture surfaces. Example problems are used to demonstrate the proposed numerical method. The primary numerical challenge for this class of problems is the demonstration of model objectivity and, in particular, the identification and demonstration of a measure of convergence for engineering quantities of interest.

Although aimed at simulating Edge Localised Modes (ELMS) in tokamak x-point geometry, the code is able to simulate a wide range Of fluid models (magnetised and unmagnetised) involving an arbitrary number of scalar and vector fields, in a wide range of geometries. Time evolution is fully implicit, and 3rd-order WENO schemes are implemented. Benchmarks are presented for linear and nonlinear problems (the Orszag-Tang vortex) showing good agreement. Performance of the code is tested by scaling with problem size and processor number, showing efficient scaling to thousands of processors. Linear initial-value simulations of ELMS using reduced ideal MHD are presented, and the results compared to the ELITE linear MHD eigenvalue code. The resulting mode-structures and growth-rate are found to be in good agreement (gamma(BOUT++) = 0.245 omega(A), gamma(ELITE) = 0.239 omega(A), with Alfvenic timescale 1/omega(A) = R/V(A)). To our knowledge, this is the first time dissipationless, initial-value Simulations of ELMS have been successfully demonstrated. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. C1 [Dudson, B.

The plasma-vacuum interface is varied to guarantee the continuity of the total pressure [p(perpendicular to) + B-2/(2 mu(0))] across it and the vacuum magnetic field must satisfy the Neumann bo undary condition that its component normal to this interfaced surface vanishes. The vacuum magnetic field corresponds to that driven by the plasma current and external coils plus the gradient of a potential function whose solution is obtained using a Green's function method. The energetic particle contributions to the pressure are evaluated analytically from the moments of the variant of a bi-Maxwellian distribution function that satisfies the constraint B . del F-h = 0. Applications to demonstrate the versatility and reliability of the numerical method employed have concentrated on high-beta off-axis energetic particle deposition with large parallel and perpendicular pressure anisotropies in a 2-field period quasiaxisymmetric stellarator reactor system. For large perpendicular pressure anisotropy, the hot particle component of the p(perpendicular to) distribution localises in the regions where the energetic particles are deposited. For large parallel pressure anisotropy. the pressures are more uniform around the flux surfaces. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. C1 [Cooper, W. A.; Graves, J.

In this context, model Hamiltonians are used to simulate the relevant interactions of a given compound, and the relevant degrees of freedom. These studies rely on the use of tight-binding lattice models that consider electron localization, where states on one site can be labeled by spin and orbital degrees of freedom. The calculation of properties from these Hamiltonians is a computational intensive problem, since the Hilbert space over which these Hamiltonians act grows exponentially with the number of sites on the lattice. Solution method: The DMRG is a numerical variational technique to study quantum many body Hamiltonians. For one-dimensional and quasi one-dimensional systems, the DMRG is able to truncate, with bounded errors and in a general and efficient way, the underlying Hilbert space to a constant size, making the problem tractable.

Results of initial model validation in a range of thermodynamic conditions typical for Boiling Water Reactors (BWRs) are also shown. The interface between the two coexisting phases is captured from the dynamics of the model itself, i.e., no interface tracking is needed. The model is based on the Peng-Robinson (P-R) non-ideal equation of state and can quantitatively approximate the phase-coexistence curve for water at different temperatures ranging from 125 to 325 degrees C. Consequently, coexisting phases with large density ratios (up to similar to 1000) may be simulated. Two-phase models in the 200-300 degrees C temperature range are of significant importance to nuclear engineers since most BWRs operate under similar thermodynamic conditions. Simulation of bubbles and droplets in a gravity-free environment of the corresponding coexisting phase until steady state is reached satisfies Laplace law at different temperatures and thus, yield the surface tension of the fluid. Comparing the LBM surface tension thus calculated using the LBM to the corresponding experimental values for water, the LBM lattice unit (lu) can be scaled to the physical units. Using this approach, spatial scaling of the LBM emerges from the model itself and is not imposed externally. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

However in large-scale data intensive problems with geographically distributed resources, load is generated from multiple sources. This paper introduces a new divisible load scheduling strategy for single level tree networks with two load originating processors. Solutions for an optimal allocation of fractions of load to nodes in single level tree networks are obtained via linear programming. A unique scheduling strategy that allows one to obtain closed form solutions for the optimal finish time and load allocation for each processor in the network is also presented. The tradeoff between linear programming and closed form solutions in terms of underlying assumptions is examined. Finally, a performance evaluation of a two source homogeneous single level tree network with concurrent communication strategy is presented. Published by Elsevier Ltd C1 [Moges, M.

In these applications electrical insulation materials play an important role in system weight, footprint (size), and voltage level. The trend in the electrical insulation material selection has been to adapt or to employ conventional insulation materials to these new systems. However, at low temperatures, thermal contraction and loss of mechanical strength in many materials make them unsuitable for superconducting power applications. In this paper, a widely used commercial material was characterized as a potential cryogenic dielectric. The material is used in "oven bags" which is a heat-resistant polyamide (nylon) used in cooking (produced by Reynolds (R), Richmond, VA, USA). it is first characterized by Fourier transform infrared and X-ray diffraction techniques and determined to be composed of polyamide 66 (PA66) polymer. Secondly the complex dielectric permittivity and dielectric breakdown strength of the PA66 films are investigated. The dielectric data are then compared with data reported in the literature. A comparison of dielectric strength with a widely used high-temperature superconductor electrical insulation material, polypropylene-laminated paper (PPLP (TM) a product of Sumitomo Electric Industries, Japan), is provided. it is observed that the statistical analysis of the PA66 films yields 1% failure probability at 127 W mm(-1); this value is approximately 46 W mm(-1) higher than PPLP (TM). Comparison of the mechanical properties of PA and PPLP (TM) indicates that PA66 has low storage and loss moduli than PPLP (TM). It is concluded that PA66 may be a good candidate for cryogenic applications. Finally, a summary of dielectric properties of some of the commercial tape insulation materials and various polymers is also provided. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Blass, Samuel Berger, Jacob TI Tartrate Chirality Determines Thaumatin Crystal Habit SO CRYSTAL GROWTH & DESIGN LA English DT Article ID SWEET-TASTING PROTEIN; MESO-TARTARIC ACID; CONFORMATIONAL ASPECTS; DANIELLII BENTH; CRYSTALLIZATION; SOLUBILITY; LYSOZYME; SALT; RESOLUTION; GROWTH AB A major challenge in structural biology is to produce high-quality protein crystals for X-ray diffraction. Currently, proteins are crystallized by trial and error, often in multicomponent solutions with chiral precipitants. As proteins are chiral molecules, we hypothesized that the chirality of the precipitants may affect crystallogenesis. To test this hypothesis, we crystallized thaumatin, an intensely Sweet globular protein, with the three stereoisomers (L-, D-, and meso-) of tartaric acid. We rind three different crystal habits and crystal packings; the three stereoisomers interact with the protein at different sites. All three precipitants produce high-quality crystals from which atomic resolution (similar to 1 angstrom) structures were obtained. Our findings Suggest that stereospecific interactions with precipitants are important in protein crystal formation and should be controlled when crystallizing proteins for structure determination.

TI The implications of patterns in HIV diversity for neutralizing antibody induction and susceptibility SO CURRENT OPINION IN HIV AND AIDS LA English DT Article DE diversity; epitope; mosaic vaccines; protein conformation AB Purpose of review Designing an HIV vaccine capable of eliciting broadly cross-reactive neutralizing antibodies is an extraordinarily difficult challenge. Here we focus on the implications of HIV diversity for vaccine design, detailing the impact of levels of variation in epitopes of known potent neutralizing antibodies, and summarizing patterns of overall variation in regional domains within gp120. Strategies for rational vaccine design, to enhance coverage of HIV's natural diversity, are considered. Recent findings Each amino acid in an envelope gp120 three-dimensional structure was grouped with its 10 nearest neighbors and classified by their natural sequence variability. Within-subtype variation is superimposed on patterns of subtype-specific variation. Regions under selection with moderate diversity are realistic vaccine targets; their variation reflects the value of escape in these regions, whereas the level of diversity is potentially approachable with a vaccine. Summary HIV diversity is so extensive that vaccine design strategies may benefit by factoring in diversity from the earliest stages, even for vaccines that target relatively conserved regions.

The Suspended Particulate Rosette sampling system has been designed to collect geochemical and microbial samples from the rising portion of deep-sea hydrothermal plumes. It can be deployed on a remotely operated vehicle for sampling rising plumes, on a wire-deployed water rosette for spatially discrete sampling of non-buoyant hydrothermal plumes, or on a fixed mooring in a hydrothermal vent field for time series sampling. It has performed successfully during both its first mooring deployment at the East Pacific Rise and its first remotely-operated vehicle deployments along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. It is currently capable of rapidly filtering 24 discrete large-water-volume samples (30-100 L. per sample) for suspended particles during a single deployment (e.g. > 90 L per sample at 4-7 L per minute through 1 mu m pore diameter polycarbonate filters). The Suspended Particulate Rosette sampler has been designed with a long-term goal of seafloor observatory deployments, where it can be used to collect samples in response to tectonic or other events. It is compatible with in situ optical sensors, such as laser Raman or visible reflectance spectroscopy systems, enabling in situ particle analysis immediately after sample collection and before the particles alter or degrade.

TI The effect of grain boundaries and adsorbates on the electrical properties of hydrogenated ultra nano crystalline diamond SO DIAMOND AND RELATED MATERIALS LA English DT Article DE Ultrananodiamond; Electrical conductivity; Temperature dependent; H and H(2)O adsorbents ID ELECTRONIC-PROPERTIES; SURFACE CONDUCTIVITY; AMORPHOUS-CARBON; FILMS; NANOCRYSTALLINE AB The results of a comprehensive study on the temperature dependence of the electrical properties of hydrogenated and air exposed undoped UNCD layers following heating/cooling cycles are presented. The results clearly show that, in contrast to hydrogenated and air exposed single crystal type IIa diamond, which exhibits a clear highly conductive p-type surface layer, the electrical properties of hydrogen and H(2)O exposure of UNCD are determined by the properties of the entire layer. The changes in the electrical conductivity of UNCD as a result of heating are governed by two different processes: (i) Loss of water from the external surface that takes place at about 150 degrees C. This process is reversible, reviving the electrical properties upon exposure to humidity, just like in single crystalline diamond.(ii) Modification of the inter-grain material, which occurs at higher temperatures possibly due to H diffusion and passivation of some dangling bonds in the inter-grain material. This increases the resistivity in an irreversible manner. The conduction mechanism in the inter-grain material is characterized by variable range hopping in band tails thus indirectly proving that the material between the grains is some kind of amorphous carbon.

We used comparative genomics of the family Chlamydiaceae to select conserved housekeeping genes for C. trachomatis multilocus sequencing, characterizing 19 reference and 68 clinical isolates from 6 continental/subcontinental regions. There were 44 sequence types (ST). Identical STs for STI isolates were recovered from different regions, whereas STs for trachoma isolates were restricted by continent. Twenty-nine of 52 alleles had nonuniform distributions of frequencies across regions (p<0.001). Phylogenetic analysis showed 3 disease clusters: invasive lymphogranuloma venereum strains, globally prevalent noninvasive STI strains (ompA genotypes D/Da, E, and F), and nonprevalent STI strains with a trachoma subcluster. Recombinant strains were observed among STI clusters. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were predictive of disease specificity. Multilocus and SNP typing can now be used to detect diverse and emerging C. trachomatis strains for epidemiologic and evolutionary studies of trachoma and STI populations worldwide.

We compared two optimization principles for convective heat transfer, the minimum entropy generation principle and the entransy dissipation extremum principle, and analyzed their physical implications and applicability. We derived the optimization equation for each optimization principle. The theoretical analysis indicates that both principles can be used to optimize convective heat-transfer process, subject to different objectives of optimization. The minimum entropy generation principle, originally derived from the heat engine cycle process, optimizes the convective heat-transfer process with minimum usable energy dissipation focusing on the heat-work conversion. The entransy dissipation extremum principle however, originally for pure heat conduction process, optimizes the heat-transfer process with minimum heat-transfer ability dissipation, and therefore is more suitable for optimization of the processes not involving heat-work conversion. To validate the theoretical results, we simulated the convective heat-transfer process in a two-dimensional foursquare cavity with a uniform heat source and different temperature boundaries. Under the same constraints, the results indicate that the minimum entropy production principle leads to the highest heat-work conversion while the entransy dissipation extremum principle yields the maximum convective heat-transfer efficiency.

Dendy TI Preliminary report on the commercial viability of gas production from natural gas hydrates SO ENERGY ECONOMICS LA English DT Article DE Natural Gas Hydrates; Energy Security; Reservoir Simulation; Hydrate Economics; Uncertainty AB Economic studies on simulated gas hydrate reservoirs have been compiled to estimate the price of natural gas that may lead to economically viable production from the most promising gas hydrate accumulations. As a first estimate, $CDN2005 12/Mscf is the lowest gas price that would allow economically viable production from gas hydrates in the absence of associated free gas, while an underlying gas deposit will reduce the viability price estimate to $CDN2005 7.50/Mscf. Results from a recent analysis of the simulated production of natural gas from marine hydrate deposits are also considered in this report; on an IROR basis. it is $US2008 3.50-4.00/Mscf more expensive to produce marine hydrates than conventional marine gas assuming the existence of sufficiently large marine hydrate accumulations. While these prices represent the best available estimates, the economic evaluation of a specific project is highly dependent on the producibility of the target zone, the amount of gas in place, the associated geologic and depositional environment, existing pipeline infrastructure, and local tariffs and taxes.

The theoretical analysis indicates that the drag during varying viscosity fluid flow processes depends upon not only the synergy between the, velocity and its gradient over the entire flow domain but also the viscosity and velocity gradient,it the boundary, That is, for a given now rate or inlet velocity, simultaneously reducing the fluid flow field synergy number over the entire flow domain and decreasing the fluid viscosity and the velocity gradient at the boundary will lead to a smaller flow resistance. In addition, starting from the basic governing equation and via the calculus of variations, we derived Euler's equation, essentially the momentum equation with a special additional volume force, using the criterion of the minimum viscous dissipation rate to optimize the flow processes for varying viscosity fluid. For fixed Row rate or Inlet velocity, solving Euler's equation will result in the optimal velocity and viscosity Fields, leading to the minimized now resistance. Finally, a thermal insulating transport process for heavy oil was taken as a testing case to demonstrate the application of the theory. The results show that generating longitudinal vortexes to enhance the transfer performance of heavy oil will facilitate the flow drag reduction. For instance, when the inlet heavy oil velocity and the external effective heat-transfer coefficient are 0.01 in/s and 2 W m(-2) K(-1), respectively.. the total viscous dissipation rate with a certain presence of longitudinal vortexes is decreased by 19% compared to the. result without the vortexes.

TI Mineralogical characterization of saprolite at the FRC background site in Oak Ridge, Tennessee SO ENVIRONMENTAL GEOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Field Research Center (FRC); Saprolite; Remediation; Mineralogy ID U(VI) REDUCTION; URANIUM; SOIL; BIOREMEDIATION; INHIBITION; AQUIFER; CALCIUM; NITRATE AB The Field Research Center (FRC) including five contaminated sites and a clean background area was established in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, as a part of the U.S. Department of Energy's Natural and Accelerated Bioremediation Research (NABIR) program. This study investigates the mineralogy and mineralogical pathways of saprolite at the FRC background site to provide a fundamental basis for the remediation strategy for contaminated sites. The background site is underlain interbedded shales, siltstones, and limestones with nearly identical characteristics to the contaminated sites. Bulk samples of saprolite were collected by hand picking approximately at 1 m depth (C horizon) from the soil surface. The soil pH of 4.3 and cation exchange capacity (CEC) of 10.5 cmol/kg measured are in the range of the typical shallow depth saprolite layer in this area. Total Fe by citrate-bicarbonate-dithionate (CBD) and ammonium oxalate extractable (amorphous) were 17.6 and 0.61 g/kg, respectively. Total Mn extracted by NH2OH center dot HCl was 0.17 g/kg. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses indicate that quartz, illite, and microcline (K-feldspar) are the dominant minerals, occupying 95% of mineral composition. The saprolite samples analyzed have shown characteristics of oxic conditions overall, and the degrees of weathering for three sampling locations were various, most for S1 and least for S3, likely influenced either by the flow channels developed through saprolite or by seasonal fluctuation of the groundwater table. The source of the manganese oxide that observed from the site is likely to be Mn-rich muscovite in the shale or Mn-rich biotite in the blackish band in the limestone. The results such as abundant Mn and Fe contents identified encouraging prospects for conducting remediation projects in FRC sites.

The two genomes share a high degree of relatedness and synteny, but harbour distinct prophage and signatures of past phage encounters. In addition to a highly variable phage contribution, the genome of strain DePue contains a cluster of open-reading frames not found in strain Hildenborough coding for the production and export of a capsule exopolysaccharide, possibly of relevance to heavy metal resistance. Comparative whole-genome microarray analysis on four additional D. vulgaris strains established greater interstrain variation within regions associated with phage insertion and exopolysaccharide biosynthesis.

Recent work has increasingly shown that Polaromonas species are prevalent in a variety of pristine oligotrophic environments, as well as polluted habitats. Besides a circular chromosome of 4.4 Mb, strain CJ2 carries eight plasmids ranging from 353 to 6.4 kb in size. Overall, the genome is predicted to encode 4929 proteins. Comparisons of DNA sequences at the individual gene, gene cluster and whole-genome scales revealed strong trends in shared heredity between strain CJ2 and other members of the Comamonadaceae and Burkholderiaceae. blastp analyses of protein coding sequences across strain CJ2's genome showed that genetic commonalities with other betaproteobacteria diminished significantly in strain CJ2's plasmids compared with the chromosome, especially for the smallest ones. Broad trends in nucleotide characteristics (GC content, GC skew, Karlin signature difference) showed at least six anomalous regions in the chromosome, indicating alteration of genome architecture via horizontal gene transfer. Detailed analysis of one of these anomalous regions (96 kb in size, containing the nag-like naphthalene catabolic operon) indicates that the fragment's insertion site was within a putative MiaB-like tRNA-modifying enzyme coding sequence. The mosaic nature of strain CJ2's genome was further emphasized by the presence of 309 mobile genetic elements scattered throughout the genome, including 131 predicted transposase genes, 178 phage-related genes, and representatives of 12 families of insertion elements. A total of three different terminal oxidase genes were found (putative cytochrome aa(3)-type oxidase, cytochrome cbb(3)-type oxidase and cytochrome bd-type quinol oxidase), suggesting adaptation by strain CJ2 to variable aerobic and microaerobic conditions. Sequence-suggested abilities of strain CJ2 to carry out nitrogen fixation and grow on the aromatic compounds, biphenyl and benzoate, were experimentally verified. These new phenotypes and genotypes set the stage for gaining additional insights into the physiology and biochemistry contributing to strain CJ2's fitness in its native habitat, contaminated sediment.

Observations and modeling studies demonstrate that emissions from one continent influence ozone air quality over other continents. We estimate the premature mortalities avoided from surface ozone decreases obtained via combined 20% reductions of anthropogenic nitrogen oxide, nonmethane volatile organic compound, and carbon monoxide emissions in North America (NA), East Asia (EA), South Asia (SA), and Europe (EU). We use estimates of ozone responses to these emission changes from several atmospheric chemical transport models combined with a health impact function. Foreign emission reductions contribute approximately 30%, 30%, 20%, and > 50% of the mortalities avoided by reducing precursor emissions in all regions together in NA, EA, SA, and EU, respectively. Reducing emissions in NA and EU avoids more mortalities outside the source region than within, owing in part to larger populations in foreign regions. Lowering the global methane abundance by 20% reduces mortality most in SA,followed by EU, EA, and NA. For some source-receptor pairs, there is greater uncertainty in our estimated avoided mortalities associated with the modeled ozone responses to emission changes than with the health impact function parameters.

TI Kinetics of Uranium(VI) Desorption from Contaminated Sediments: Effect of Geochemical Conditions and Model Evaluation SO ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article ID HANFORD-SITE; SUBSURFACE SEDIMENTS; MASS-TRANSFER; VADOSE ZONE; USA; WASHINGTON; ADSORPTION; TRANSPORT; SORPTION; MEDIA AB Stirred-flow cell experiments were performed to investigate the kinetics of uranyl [U(VI)] desorption from a contaminated sediment collected from the Hanford 300 Area at the U.S. Department of Energy Hanford Site, Washington. Three influent solutions of variable pH, Ca and carbonate concentrations that affected U(VI) aqueous and surface speciation were used under dynamic flow conditions to evaluate the effect of geochemical conditions on the rate of U(VI) desorption. The measured rate of U(VI) desorption varied with solution chemical composition that evolved as a result of thermodynamic and kinetic interactions between the solutions and sediment. The solution chemical composition that led to a larger disequilibrium between adsorbed U(VI) and equilibrium adsorption state yielded a faster desorption rate. The experimental results were used to evaluate a multirate, surface complexation model (SCM) that has been proposed to describe U(VI) desorption kinetics in the Hanford sediment that contained complex adsorbed U(VI) in mass transfer limited domains (Lui et al. Water Resour. Res. 2008, 44, W08413). The model was modified and supplemented by including multirate, ion exchange reactions to describe the geochemical interactions between the solutions and sediment With the same set of model parameters, the modified model reasonably well described the evolution of major ions and the rates of U(VI) desorption under variable geochemical and flow conditions, implying that the multirate SCM is an effective way to describe U(VI) desorption kinetics in subsurface sediments.

We present a method for the conversion between chemical concentrations (mu g L(-1)) and radiological dose rates (mu Gy h(-1)) for a defined set of reference organisms, and apply this conversion method to previously derived chemical and radiological benchmarks to determine the extent to which these benchmarks ensure radiological and chemical protection, respectively, for U in freshwater ecosystems. Results show that the percentage of species radiologically protected by the chemical benchmark decreases with increasing degrees of 0 enrichment and with increasing periods of radioactive decay. In contrast, the freshwater ecosystem is almost never chemically protected by the radiological benchmark, regardless of the source term or decay period considered, confirming that the risks to the environment from uranium's chemical toxicity generally outweigh those of its radiological toxicity. These results are relevant to developing water quality criteria that protect freshwater ecosystems from the various risks associated with the nuclear applications of U exploitation, and highlight the need for (1) further research on the speciation, bioavailability, and toxicity of U-series radionuclides under different environmental conditions, and (2) the adoption of both chemical and radiological benchmarks for coherent ERAS to be conducted in U-contaminated freshwater ecosystems.

TI Field-Based Detection and Monitoring of Uranium in Contaminated Groundwater using Two Immunosensors SO ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article ID MONOCLONAL-ANTIBODY; BINDING-PROPERTIES; BIOREMEDIATION; VALIDATION; REDUCTION; CALCIUM; SITE AB Field-based monitoring of environmental contaminants has long been a need for environmental scientists. Described herein are two kinetic exclusion-based immunosensors a field portable sensor (FPS) and an inline senor, that here deployed at the Integrated Field Research Challenge Site of the U.S. Department of Energy in Rifle, CO. Both sensors utilized a monoclonal antibody that binds to a U(VI)-dicarboxyphenanthroline complex (DCP) in a kinetic exclusion immunoassay format These sensors were able to monitor changes of uranium in groundwater samples from similar to 1 mu M to below the regulated drinking water limit of 126 nM (30 ppb). The FPS is a battery-operated sensor platform that can determine the uranium level in a single sample in 5-10 min, if the instrument has been previously calibrated with standards. The average minimum detection level (MDL) in this assay was 0.33 nM (79 ppt), and the MDL in the sample (based on a 1:200-1:400 dilution) was 66-132 nM (15.7-31.4 ppb), The inline sensor, while requiring a grounded power source, has the ability to autonomously analyze multiple samples in a single experiment The average MDL in this assay was 0.12 nM (29 ppt), and the MDL in the samples (based on 1:200 or 1:400 dilutions) was 24-48 nM (5.7-11.4 ppb). Both sensor platforms showed an acceptable level of agreement (r(2) = 0.94 and 0.76, for the inline and FPS, respectively) with conventional methods for uranium quantification.

TI Geophysical Monitoring of Coupled Microbial and Geochemical Processes During Stimulated Subsurface Bioremediation SO ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article ID INDUCED-POLARIZATION; ELECTRON-TRANSFER; ENVIRONMENTAL APPLICATIONS; URANIUM BIOREMEDIATION; CONTAMINATED AQUIFER; HYDROGEN-SULFIDE; IRON; OXIDATION; SEDIMENTS; METAL AB Understanding how microorganisms alter their physical and chemical environment during bioremediation is hindered by our inability to resolve Subsurface microbial activity with high spatial resolution. Here we demonstrate the use of a minimally invasive geophysical technique to monitor stimulated microbial activity during acetate amendment in an aquifer near Rifle, Colorado. During electrical induced polarization (IP) measurements, spatiotemporal variations in the phase response between imposed electric current and the resultant electric field correlated with changes in groundwater geochemistry accompanying stimulated iron and sulfate reduction and sulfide mineral precipitation. The magnitude of the phase response varied with measurement frequency (0.125 and 1 Hz) and was dependent upon the dominant metabolic process. The spectral effect was corroborated using a biostimulated column experiment containing Rifle sediments and groundwater. Fluids and sediments recovered from regions exhibiting an anomalous phase response were enriched in Fe(II), dissolved sulfide, and cell-associated FeS nanoparticles. The accumulation of mineral precipitates and electroactive ions altered the ability of pore fluids to conduct electrical charge, accounting for the anomalous IP response and revealing the usefulness of multifrequency IP measurements for monitoring mineralogical and geochemical changes accompanying stimulated subsurface bioremediation.

Rev. Lett., 96 ( 2006) 256403). Both systems display a quantum critical point as proven by a divergent Gruneisen ratio. Most remarkably, the three-dimensional itinerant model explains quantum criticality in both systems, suggesting that the crystalline anisotropy in CeRhIn5-xSnx is unimportant. This is ascribed to the effect of weak disorder in these doped systems. Copyright (C) EPLA, 2009 C1 [Donath, J. G.; Steglich, F.] Max Planck Inst Chem Phys Solids, D-01187 Dresden, Germany.

TI Thermoelectric performance of weakly coupled granular materials SO EPL LA English DT Article ID DISORDERED SEMICONDUCTORS; SYSTEMS; DEVICES; POWER AB We study thermoelectric properties of inhomogeneous nanogranular materials for weak tunneling conductance between the grains, g(t) < 1. We calculate the thermopower and figure of merit taking into account the shift of the chemical potential and the asymmetry of the density of states in the vicinity of the Fermi surface. We show that the weak coupling between the grains leads to a high thermopower and low thermal conductivity resulting in relatively high values of the figure of merit on the order of one. We estimate the temperature at which the figure of merit has its maximum value for two- and three-dimensional samples. Our results are applicable for many emerging materials, including artificially self-assembled nanoparticle arrays.

Peat cores were collected in remnant and drained marshes in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta of California. Cubic smooth spline regression models were used to construct age-depth models and accretion histories for three remnant marshes. Estimated vertical accretion rates at these sites range from 0.03 to 0.49 cm year(-1). The mean contribution of organic matter to soil volume at the remnant marsh sites is generally stable (4.73% to 6.94%), whereas the mean contribution of inorganic matter to soil volume has greater temporal variability (1.40% to 7.92%). The hydrogeomorphic position of each marsh largely determines the inorganic content of peat. Currently, the remnant marshes are keeping pace with sea level rise, but this balance may shift for at least one of the sites under future sea level rise scenarios.

CA ZEUS Collaboration TI Measurement of D-+/- and D-0 production in deep inelastic scattering using a lifetime tag at HERA SO EUROPEAN PHYSICAL JOURNAL C LA English DT Article ID CENTRAL TRACKING DETECTOR; ZEUS BARREL CALORIMETER; O(ALPHA-S) CORRECTIONS; PERTURBATION-THEORY; VERTEX DETECTOR; CROSS-SECTIONS; DESIGN; ELECTROPRODUCTION; QUARK; DISTRIBUTIONS AB The production of D-+/-- and D-0-mesons has been measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 133.6 pb(-1). The measurements cover the kinematic range 5 < Q(2) < 1000 GeV2, 0.02 < y < 0.7, 1.5 < p(T)(D) < 15 GeV and |eta(D)| < 1.6. Combinatorial background to the D-meson signals is reduced by using the ZEUS microvertex detector to reconstruct displaced secondary vertices. Production cross sections are compared with the predictions of next-to-leading-order QCD, which is found to describe the data well. Measurements are extrapolated to the full kinematic phase space in order to obtain the open-charm contribution, F-2(c (c) over bar), to the proton structure function, F-2.

Accordingly, graph partitioning problem has been studied extensively in the last 50 years. The most celebrated result among this class of problems is the max flow = min cut theorem due to Ford and Fulkerson. Utilizing the modifications suggested by Edmonds and Karp. it is well known that the minimum capacity cut in the directed graph with edge weights can be computed in polynomial time. If the partition divides the node set V into subsets V(1) and V(2), where V(1) contains one of the specified nodes s and V(2) contains the other specified node t, the capacity of a cut is defined as the sum of the edge weights going from V(1) to V(2). In electrical power distribution networks, a slow-coherency-based islanding strategy is used as a prevention against the cascading failures. In this paper, we concentrate on the graph partition problems which are encountered in electric power distribution networks. In this environment, two different definitions of capacity of a cut are used. In the first definition, capacity of a cut is taken to be the difference of the edge weights going from V(1) to V(2) and from V(2) to V(1). In the second definition, the capacity of a cut is taken to be the maximum of sum of the edge weights going front V(1) to V(2) and from V(2) to V(1). Surprisingly, with slight change of the definition of the capacity of a cut, the computational complexity of the problem changes significantly. In this paper, we show that with the new definitions of the capacity of a cut, the minimum cut computation problem becomes NP-complete. We provide an optimal solution to the problems using mathematical programming techniques. In addition, we also provide heuristic solutions and compare the performance with that of the optimal solution. Copyright (C) 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The model relationship is applied to measured mean velocity gradients and turbulence scales, and the predictions compared against the measured shear stress and normal stress anisotropy. Significant improvement over the linear stress relationship typically used in two-equation turbulence models is observed. Conditions under which the model predictions are poor are identified and the reasons for the poor performance discussed.

TI Effect of size and density on the thermodynamic predictions of coal particle phase formation during coal gasification SO FUEL PROCESSING TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Coal slag; Thermodynamic modeling; Iron reduction; Particle analysis ID SLAGS; ASH AB When coal is ground for use in a gasifier, the resulting particles will vary in physical and chemical make-up, in particular, the mineral amount and composition. The resulting ash composition distribution. by particle size and density, of ground Pittsburgh Seam coal was determined. The thermodynamically stable phases were calculated for each particle classification for a range of temperatures, with attention paid to the form of the non-slag phases, which must dissolve in the slag layer on the gasifier wall. Undissolved particles can be carried with the gas, resulting in fouling of downstream components. Results are separated into a comparison of the liquid versus solid phases formed, and a comparison of the phases formed for each particle type. Certain particle compositions form stable crystalline oxide phases that are usually incorporated into the slag at higher temperatures, while others can form metallic iron, which is stable even at high temperatures.

The following changes were observed for B20 blends of SME and PHSME versus neat ULSD: improved lubricity, higher kinematic viscosity and cetane number, lower sulfur content, and inferior low-temperature properties and oxidative stability. With respect to exhaust emissions, B20 blends of PHSME and SME exhibited lower PM and CO emissions in comparison to those of neat ULSD. The PHSME blend also showed a significant reduction in THC emissions. Both SME and PHSME B20 blends yielded small increases in NO(x) emissions. The reduction in double bond content of PHSME did not result in a statistically significant difference in NO(x) emissions versus SME at the B20 blend level. The test engine consumed a greater amount of fuel operating on the SME and PHSME blends than on neat ULSD, but the increase was smaller for the PHSME blend. Published by Elsevier B.V.

TI JBrowse: A next-generation genome browser SO GENOME RESEARCH LA English DT Article ID UCSC; ANNOTATION; ALGORITHM; DATABASE; MAP AB We describe an open source, portable, JavaScript-based genome browser, JBrowse, that can be used to navigate genome annotations over the web. JBrowse helps preserve the user's sense of location by avoiding discontinuous transitions, instead offering smoothly animated panning, zooming, navigation, and track selection. Unlike most existing genome browsers, where the genome is rendered into images on the webserver and the role of the client is restricted to displaying those images, JBrowse distributes work between the server and client and therefore uses significantly less server overhead than previous genome browsers. We report benchmark results empirically comparing server- and client-side rendering strategies, review the architecture and design considerations of JBrowse, and describe a simple wiki plug-in that allows users to upload and share annotation tracks.

The data reviewed are consistent with an external, stellar origin for most short-lived radionuclides ((7)Be, (10)Be, and (36)Cl are important exceptions) and a shock-wave model for chondrule formation, and provide a sound basis for early Solar System chronology. They are inconsistent with the x-wind model for the origin of chondritic components and a local, irradiation origin of (26)Al, (41)Ca, and (53)Mn. (10)Be is heterogeneously distributed among CAIs, indicating its formation by local irradiation and precluding its use for the early solar system chronology. (41)Ca-(41)K, and (60)Fe-(60)Ni systematics are important for understanding the astrophysical setting of Solar System formation and origin of short-lived radionuclides, but so far have limited implications for the chronology of chondritic components. The chronological significance of oxygen-isotope compositions of chondritic components is limited. The following general picture of formation of chondritic components is inferred. CAIs and AOAs were the first solids formed in the solar nebula similar to 4567-4568 Myr ago, possibly within a period of <0.1 Myr, when the Sun was an infalling (class 0) and evolved (class 1) protostar. They formed during multiple transient heating events in nebular region(s) with high ambient temperature (at or above condensation temperature of forsterite), either throughout the inner protoplanetary disk (1-4 AU) or in a localized region near the proto-Sun (<0.1 AU), and were subsequently dispersed throughout the disk. Most CAIs and AOAs formed in the presence of an (16)O-rich (Delta(17)O similar to -24 +/- 2 parts per thousand) nebular gas. The (26)Al-poor [((26)Al/(27)Al)(0) < 1 x 10(-5)], (16)O-rich (Delta(17)O similar to -24 +/- 2 parts per thousand) CAIs - FUN (fractionation and unidentified nuclear effects) CAIs in CV chondrites, platy hibonite crystals (PLACs) in CM chondrites, pyroxene-hibonite spherules in CM and CO chondrites, and the majority of grossite- and hibonite-rich CAIs in CH chondrites-may have formed prior to injection and/or homogenization of (26)Al in the early Solar System. A small number of igneous CAIs in ordinary, enstatite and carbonaceous chondrites, and virtually all CAIs in CB chondrites are (16)O-depleted (Delta(17)O > - 10 parts per thousand) and have ((26)Al/(27)Al)(0) similar to those in chondrules (<1 x 10(-5)). These CAIs probably experienced melting during chondrule formation. Chondrules and most of the fine-grained matrix materials in primitive chondrites formed 1-4 Myr after CAIs, when the Sun was a classical (class II) and weak-lined T Turi star (class III). These chondritic components formed during multiple transient heating events in regions with low ambient temperature (<1000 K) throughout the inner protoplanetary disk in the presence of (16)O-poor (Delta(17)O > -5 parts per thousand) nebular gas. The majority of chondrules within a chondrite group may have formed over a much shorter period of time (<0.5-1 Myr). Mineralogical and isotopic observations indicate that CAIs were present in the regions where chondrules formed and accreted (1-4 AU), indicating that CAIs were present in the disk as free-floating objects for at least 4 Myr. Many CAIs, however, were largely unaffected by chondrule melting, suggesting that chondrule-forming events experienced by a nebular region could have been small in scale and limited in number. Chondrules and metal grains in CB chondrites formed during a single-stage, highly-energetic event similar to 4563 Myr ago, possibly from a gas-melt plume produced by collision between planetary embryos.

Two additional CAIs were measured for oxygen isotopes only. Most CR2 CAIs are mineralogically pristine; only few contain secondary phyllosilicates, sodalite, and carbonates - most likely products of aqueous alteration on the CR2 chondrite parent asteroid. Spinel, hibonite, grossite, anorthite, and melilite in 18 CAIs have (16)O-rich (Delta(17)O = -23.3 +/- 1.9 parts per thousand, 2 sigma error) compositions and show no evidence for postcrystallization isotopic exchange commonly observed in CAIs from metamorphosed CV carbonaceous chondrites. The inferred initial (26)Al/(27)Al ratios, ((26)Al/(27)Al)(0), in 15 of 16 (16)O-rich CAIs measured are consistent with the canonical value of (4.5-5) x 10(-5) and a short duration (<0.5 My) of CAI formation. These data do not support the "supra-canonical" values of ((26)Al/(27)Al)(0) [(5.85-7) x 10(-5)] inferred from whole-rock and mineral isochrons of the CV CAIs. A hibonite-grossite-rich CAI El Djouf 001 MK #5 has uniformly (16)O-rich (Delta(17)O = -23.0 +/- 1.7 parts per thousand) composition, but shows a deficit of (26)Mg and no evidence for (26)Al. Because this inclusion is (16)O-rich, like CAIs with the canonical ((26)Al/(27)Al)(0), we infer that it probably formed early, like typical CAIs, but from precursors with slightly nonsolar magnesium and lower-than-canonical (26)Al abundance. Another (16)O-enriched (Delta(17)O = -20.3 +/- 1.2 parts per thousand) inclusion, a spinel-melilite CAI fragment Gao-Guenie (b) #3, has highly-fractionated oxygen- and magnesium-isotope compositions (similar to 11 and 23 parts per thousand/amu, respectively), a deficit of (26)Mg, and a relatively low ((26)Al/(27)Al)(0) = (2.0 +/- 1.7) x 10(-5). This could be the first FUN (Fractionation and Unidentified Nuclear effects) CAI found in CR2 chondrites. Because this inclusion is slightly (16)O-depleted compared to most CR2 CAIs and has lower than the canonical ((26)Al/(27)Al)(0), it may have experienced multistage formation from precursors with nonsolar magnesium-isotope composition and recorded evolution of oxygen-isotope composition in the early solar nebula over 0.9(+2.2)(-0.7) My. Eight of the 166 CR2 CAIs identified are associated with chondrule materials, indicating that they experienced late-stage, incomplete melting during chondrule formation. Three of these CAIs show large variations in oxygen-isotope compositions (Delta(17)O ranges from -23.5 parts per thousand to -1.7 parts per thousand), suggesting dilution by (16)O-depleted chondrule material and possibly exchange with an (16)O-poor (Delta(17)O > -5 parts per thousand) nebular gas. The low inferred ((26)Al/(27)Al)(0) ratios of these CAIs (<0.7 x 10(-5)) indicate melting >2 My after crystallization of CAIs with the canonical ((26)Al/(27)Al)(0) and suggest evolution of the oxygen-isotope composition of the inner solar nebula on a similar or a shorter timescale. Because CAIs in CR2 and CV chondrites appear to have originated in a similarly (16)O-rch reservoir and only a small number of CR2 and CV CAIs were affected by chondrule melting events in an (16)O-poor gaseous reservoir, the commonly observed oxygen-isotope heterogeneity in CAIs from metamorphosed CV chondrites is most likely due to fluid-solid isotope exchange on the CV asteroidal body rather than gas-melt exchange. This conclusion does not preclude that some CV CAIs experienced oxygen-isotope exchange during remelting, instead it implies that such remelting is unlikely to be the dominant process responsible for oxygen-isotope heterogeneity in CV CAIs. The mineralogy, oxygen and magnesium-isotope compositions of CAIs in CR2 chondrites are different from those ill the metal-rich, CH and CB carbonaceous chondrites, providing no justification for grouping CR, CH and CB chondrites into the CR clan.

Well-resolved Mg-26 excesses (delta Mg-26) from the in situ decay of the short-lived nuclide Al-16 (t(1/2) similar to 0.72 Ma) were found in nine chondrules, two from Acfer 094, five from the CV chondrites, Allende and Efremovka, and one each from the paired CR chondrites, EET 92147 and EET 92042, with (Al-26/Al-27)(0) values ranging from similar to 3 x 10(-6) to similar to 1.5 x 10(-5). Data for seven additional chondrules from three CV and two CR chondrites show evidence suggestive of the presence of Al-26 but do not yield well defined values for (Al-26/Al-27)(0) while the remaining chondrules do not contain excess radiogenic 26Mg and yield corresponding upper limits of (11-2) x 10(-6) for (Al-26/Al-27)(0). The observed range of (Al-26/Al-27)(0) in PRCs from CCs is similar to the range seen in chondrules from unequilibrated ordinary chondrites (UOCs) of low metamorphic grade (3.0-3.4). However, unlike the UOC chondrules, there is no clear trend between the (Al-26/Al-27), values in PRCs from CCs and the degree of thermal metamorphism experienced by the host meteorites. High and low values of (Al-26/Al-27)(0), are found equally in PRCs from both CCs lacking evidence for thermal metamorphism (e.g., CRs) and CCs where such evidence is abundant (e.g., CVs). The lower (Al-26/Al-27)(0) values in PRCs from CCs, relative to most CAIs, are consistent with a model in which Al-26 was distributed uniformly in the nebula when chondrule formation began, approximately a million years after the formation of the majority of CAIs. The observed range of (Al-26/Al-27)(0) values in PRCs from CCs is most plausibly explained in terms of an extended duration of similar to 2-3 Ma for the formation of CC chondrules. This interval is in sharp contrast to most CAIs from CCs, whose formation appears to be restricted to a narrow time interval of less than 10(5) years. The active solar nebula appears to have persisted for a period approaching 4 Ma, encompassing the formation of both CAIs and chondrules present in CCs, and raising important issues related to the storage, assimilation and mixing of chondrules and CAIs in the early solar system.

TI Three-dimensional controlled-source electromagnetic and magnetotelluric joint inversion SO GEOPHYSICAL JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL LA English DT Article DE Numerical solutions; Inverse theory; Electrical properties; Magnetotelluric; Marine electromagnetics AB P>The growing use of the controlled-source electromagnetic method (CSEM) and magnetotellurics (MT) for exploration applications has been driving the development of data acquisition technologies, and three-dimensional (3-D) modelling and imaging techniques. However, targeting increasingly complex geological environments also further enhances the problems inherent in large-scale inversion, such as non-uniqueness and resolution issues. In this paper, we report on two techniques to mitigate these problems. We use 3-D joint CSEM and MT inversion to improve the model resolution. To avoid the suppression of the resolution capacities of one data type, and thus to balance the use of inherent, and ideally complementary information content, different data reweighting schemes are proposed. Further, a hybrid model parametrization approach is presented, where traditional cell-based model parameters are used simultaneously within a parametric inversion. The idea is to limit the non-uniqueness problem, typical for 3-D imaging problems, in order to allow for a more focusing inversion. The methods are demonstrated using synthetic data generated from models with a strong practical relevance.

Examined are the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), Pacific/North American Oscillation (PNA) and El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). We use 9 years of eddy covariance CO(2), H(2)O and energy fluxes measured at the Wind River AmeriFlux site, Washington, USA and 8 years of tower-pixel remote sensing data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) to address this question. We compute a new Composite Climate Index (CCI) based on the three Pacific Oscillations to divide the measurement period into positive- (2003 and 2005), negative- (1999 and 2000) and neutral-phase climate years (2001, 2002, 2004, 2006 and 2007). The forest transitioned from an annual net carbon sink (NEP=+217 g C m(-2) yr(-1), 1999) to a source (NEP=-100 g C m(-2) yr(-1), 2003) during two dominant teleconnection patterns. Net ecosystem productivity (NEP), water use efficiency (WUE) and light use efficiency (LUE) were significantly different (P < 0.01) during positive (NEP=-0.27 g C m(-2) day(-1), WUE=4.1 mg C g(-1) H(2)O, LUE=0.94 g C MJ(-1)) and negative (NEP=+0.37 g C m(-2) day(-1), WUE=3.4 mg C g(-1) H(2)O, LUE=0.83 g C MJ(-1)) climate phases. The CCI was linked to variability in the MODIS Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) but not to MODIS Fraction of absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FPAR). EVI was highest during negative climate phases (1999 and 2000) and was positively correlated with NEP and showed potential for using MODIS to estimate teleconnection-driven anomalies in ecosystem CO(2) exchange in old-growth forests. This work suggests that any increase in the strength or frequency of ENSO coinciding with in-phase, low frequency Pacific oscillations (PDO and PNA) will likely increase CO(2) uptake variability in Pacific Northwest conifer forests.

TI Evaluation of Noble Gas Recharge Temperatures in a Shallow Unconfined Aquifer SO GROUND WATER LA English DT Article ID LAST GLACIAL MAXIMUM; EXCESS AIR; POROUS-MEDIA; GROUND-WATER; DENITRIFICATION; SOLUBILITY; SEAWATER; NITROGEN; ARGON; RECONSTRUCTION AB Water table temperatures inferred from dissolved noble gas concentrations (noble gas temperatures, NGT) are useful as a quantitative proxy for air temperature change since the last glacial maximum. Despite their importance in paleoclimate research, few studies have investigated the relationship between NGT and actual recharge temperatures in field settings. This study presents dissolved noble gas data from a shallow unconfined aquifer heavily impacted by agriculture. Considering samples unaffected by degassing, NGT calculated from common physically based interpretive gas dissolution models that correct measured noble gas concentrations for "excess air" agreed with measured water table temperatures (WTT). The ability to fit data to multiple interpretive models indicates that model goodness-of-fit does not necessarily mean that the model reflects actual gas dissolution processes. Although NGT are useful in that they reflect WTT, caution is recommended when using these interpretive models. There was no measurable difference in excess air characteristics (amount and degree of fractionation) between two recharge regimes studied (higher flux recharge primarily during spring and summer vs. continuous, low flux recharge). Approximately 20% of samples had dissolved gas concentrations below equilibrium concentration with respect to atmospheric pressure, indicating degassing. Geochemical and dissolved gas data indicate that saturated zone denitrification caused degassing by gas stripping. Modeling indicates that minor degassing (< 10% delta Ne) may cause underestimation of ground water recharge temperature by up to 2 degrees C. Such errors are problematic because degassing may not be apparent and degassed samples may be fit by a model with a high degree of certainty.

To address this shortcoming, we extend the idea of multiple cell (Bear 1979) and compartmental (Campana and Simpson 1984) ground water models developed within the context of spatial system dynamics (Ahmad and Simonovic 2004) for rapid scenario analysis. We term this approach compartmental-spatial system dynamics (CSSD). The goal is to balance spatial aggregation necessary to achieve a real-time integrative and interactive decision environment while maintaining sufficient model complexity to yield a meaningful representation of the regional ground water system. As a test case, a 51-compartment CSSD model was built and calibrated from a 100,000+ cell MODFLOW (McDonald and Harbaugh 1988) model of the Albuquerque Basin in central New Mexico (McAda and Barroll 2002). Seventy-seven percent of historical drawdowns predicted by the MODFLOW model were within 1 m of the corresponding CSSD estimates, and in 80% of the historical model run years the CSSD model estimates of river leakage, reservoir leakage, ground water flow to agricultural drains, and riparian evapotranspiration were within 30% of the corresponding estimates from McAda and Barroll (2002), with improved model agreement during the scenario period. Comparisons of model results demonstrate both advantages and limitations of the CCSD model approach. C1 [Roach, Jesse; Tidwell, Vince] Sandia Natl Labs, Earth Syst Dept, Albuquerque, NM 87185 USA.

This paper describes how the Livermore Torso Phantom was modified for calibrating direct, in vivo measurements of Am-241 deposited in the axillary lymph nodes. Modifications involved milling a pair of parallel, flat bottom, cylindrical holes into the left and right shoulders (below the humeral head) of the Livermore Torso Phantom in which solid, 1.40-cm-diameter cylindrical rods were inserted. Each rod was fabricated using a muscle tissue substitute. One end of each rod contained a precisely known quantity of Am-241 sealed in a 1-cm-diameter, 2.54-cm-deep well to simulate the axillary lymph nodes when inserted into the modified Livermore Torso Phantom. The fixed locations for the axillary lymph nodes in the phantom were determined according to the position of the Level I and the combined Level II + III axillary lymph nodes reported in the literature. Discrete calibration measurements for Am-241 in the simulated axillary lymph nodes located in the right and left sides of the thorax were performed using pairs of high-resolution germanium detectors at UC and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The percent efficiency for measuring the 59.5 keV photon from Am-241 deposited in the right and left axillary lymph nodes using a pair of 3,000 mm(2) detectors is 2.60 +/- 0.03 counts gamma(-1) and 5.45 +/- 0.07 counts gamma(-1), respectively. Activity deposited in the right and left axillary lymph nodes was found to contribute 12.5% and 19.7%, respectively, to a lung measurement and 1.2% and 0.2%, respectively, to a liver measurement. Thus, radioactive material mobilized from a wound in a ringer or hand and deposited in the axillary lymph nodes has been shown to confound results of a direct, in vivo measurement of the lungs.

TI PROBABILISTIC MODEL EVALUATION OF CONTINUOUS AIR MONITOR RESPONSE FOR MEETING RADIATION PROTECTION GOALS SO HEALTH PHYSICS LA English DT Article DE accidents, nuclear; aerosols; air sampling; analysis, risk ID WORKER PROTECTION; FLOW AB Effective continuous air monitor (CAM) programs can eliminate or significantly reduce the amount of inhaled radioactive material following an accidental release. Numerous factors impact the levels of protection CAM programs provide to the workers during these releases. These factors range from those related to the capability of the CAM instrument (e.g., CAM alarm set point and length of counting intervals) to those related to CAM placement in the room relative to dispersion rates and patterns of the released material in a room. While the impact of many of these factors on alarm sensitivity has been investigated in isolation, there are no methods for holistic evaluations of CAM programs relative to radiation protection goals (RPGs) or the contribution of the factors, either individually or combined, toward limiting worker dose. In this study, worker exposure was predicted using CAM response models developed to evaluate protection levels for continuous and acute releases. Monte Carlo simulations of 10,000 releases were performed using various combinations of model parameter values, with associated uncertainty distributions, to assess the expected ability of a CAM program to meet RPGs, and, further, to assess the relative influence of each factor toward lowering worker exposure. Results showed that improvements to CAM instrument capability combined with better ventilation and CAM placement improve worker protection nonlinearly and that these improvements are critical to meet RPGs. The sensitivity analysis showed that ventilation-driven dilution had the greatest impact on exposure reduction with the selected counting interval for alarm decisions and the alarm set point as secondarily important.

TI ASSESSMENT OF RADIONUCLIDE DATABASES IN CAP88 MAINFRAME VERSION 1.0 AND WINDOWS-BASED VERSION 3.0 SO HEALTH PHYSICS LA English DT Article DE dose assessment; dose, population; dosimetry; modeling, dose assessment AB In this study the radionuclide databases for two versions of the Clean Air Act Assessment Package-1988 (CAP88) computer model were assessed in detail. CAP88 estimates radiation dose and the risk of health effects to human populations from radionuclide emissions to air. This program is used by several U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) facilities to comply with National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants regulations. CAP88 Mainframe, referred to as version 1.0 on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Web site (http://www.epa.gov/radiation/assessment/CAP88/), was the very first CAP88 version released in 1988. Some DOE facilities including the Savannah River Site still employ this version (1.0) while others use the more user-friendly personal computer Windows-based version 3.0 released in December 2007. Version 1.0 uses the program RADRISK based on International Commission on Radiological Protection Publication 30 as its radionuclide database. Version 3.0 uses half-life, dose, and risk factor values based on Federal Guidance Report 13. Differences in these values could cause different results for the same input exposure data (same scenario), depending on which version of CAP88 is used. Consequently, the differences between the two versions are being assessed in detail at Savannah River National Laboratory. The version 1.0 and 3.0 database riles contain 496 and 838 radionuclides, respectively, and though one would expect the newer version to include all the 496 radionuclides, 35 radionuclides are listed in version 1.0 that are not included in version 3.0. The majority of these has either extremely short or long half-lives or is no longer in production; however, some of the short-lived radionuclides might produce progeny of great interest at DOE sites. In addition, 122 radionuclides were found to have different half-lives in the two versions, with 21 over 3 percent different and 12 over 10 percent different.

TI WORK TO SAVE DOSE: CONTRASTING EFFECTIVE DOSE RATES FROM RADON EXPOSURE IN WORKPLACES AND RESIDENCES AGAINST THE BACKDROP OF PUBLIC AND OCCUPATIONAL REGULATORY LIMITS SO HEALTH PHYSICS LA English DT Article DE dose assessment; radioactivity, airborne; radon; safety standards ID UNITED-STATES HOMES; LUNG-CANCER; RISK; PROTECTION AB Office workers are exposed to radon while at work and at home. Though there are a multitude of studies reporting radon concentrations and potential lung and effective doses associated with radon progeny exposure in homes, similar studies in non-mine workplaces are lacking. Additionally, there are few, if any, comparative analyses of radon exposures at more "typical" workplace with residential exposures within the same county. The purposes of this study were to measure radon concentrations in office and residential spaces in the same county and explore the radiation dose implications. Sixty-five track-etch detectors were deployed for 3-mo sampling periods in office spaces and 47 were deployed in residences, all within Los Alamos County, New Mexico. The measured concentrations were used to calculate and compare effective dose rates resulting from exposure while at work and at home. Results showed that full-time office workers receive on average about 8 times greater exposure at home than while in the office (2.3 mSv y(-1) vs. 0.3 mSv y(-1)). The estimated effective dose rate for a more homebound person was about 3 mSv y(-1). Estimating effective doses from background radon exposure in the same county as Los Alamos National Laboratory, with thousands of "radiological workers," highlights interesting contrasts in radiation protection standards that span public and occupational settings. For example, the effective dose rate from background radon exposure in unregulated office spaces ranged up to 1.1 mSv y(-1), which is similar to the 1 mSv y(-1) threshold for regulation of a "radiological worker," as defined in the Department of Energy regulations for occupational exposure. Additionally, the estimated average effective dose total of >3 mSv y(-1) from radon background exposure in homes stands in contrast to the 0.1 mSv y(-1) air pathway effective public dose limit regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency for radioactive air emissions, and both these are substantially lower than effective doses associated with priority radon levels in homes of "tens of pCi L-1 and greater" (>370 Bq m(-3)), as suggested by the Health Physics Society.

As both the ion and electron temperature is increased from room temperature to 10 eV, we see a marked increase in the opacity. The effect is less pronounced if only the electron temperature is allowed to increase, while the lattice remains at room temperature. The physical significance of these increases is discussed in terms of intense light-matter interactions on both femtosecond and picosecond time scales. (c) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

A method has recently been developed to transform the large detailed atomic models into very small models that can be used for fast in-line calculations. The reduced model is more accurate than the average-atom models conventionally used in such simulations. In the present work, spectra calculated with the reduced model are compared to the original detailed model and the average-atom model. The spectra of iron and gold plasmas under various plasma conditions are compared. (c) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. C1 [Abdallah, Joseph, Jr.; Sherrill, M. E.; Kilcrease, D.

TI A redetermination of the ice/vapor ratio of Enceladus' plumes: Implications for sublimation and the lack of a liquid water reservoir SO ICARUS LA English DT Article DE Enceladus; Ices ID E-RING; SOUTH AB The discovery of plumes of H(2)O vapor and ice particles erupting from the south pole of Enceladus, the tiny frigid satellite of Saturn, sparked controversy over whether these plumes are produced by boiling, or by sublimation with subsequent recondensation of the sublimated vapor [Porco, C.C., Helfenstein, P., Thomas, P.C., Ingersoll, A.P., Wisdom, J., West, R., Neukum, G., Denk, T., Wagner, R., Roatsch, T., Kieffer, S., Turtle, E., McEwen, A., Johnson, TV., Rathbun, J., Veverka, J., Wilson, D., Perry, J., Spitale, J., Brahic, A., Burns, J.A., DelGenio, A.D., Dones, L., Murray, C.D., Squyres, S., 2006. Science 311, 1393-1401]. Porco et al.'s analysis that the masses of ice (I) and vapor (V) ill the plume were comparable was taken to argue against the occurrence of sublimation and recondensation, leading to the hypothesis that the reservoir was boiling water, possibly as close as 7 m to the surface. Thus, it has been advocated that Enceladus should be a target for astrobiology exploration. Here we show, with recalculations using the original data and methodologies, as well as with new sensitivity studies, that the mass of ice in the column is significantly less than the mass of water vapor, and that by considering three additional effects, I/V is likely to be <0.2-0.1. This means that the plume is dominated by vapor that the thermodynamics permits to be easily produced by sublimation with recondensation. The low I/V ratio provides no compelling criterion for consideration of a liquid water reservoir. The uncertainties on the I/V ratio have not previously been discussed in the literature. Although the I/V ratio is sensitive to particle sizes and size distributions, the masses of ice (1) and vapor (V) are not comparable in any scenario constrained by available observations. We thus discuss the implications of sublimation from a thermodynamic point of view in a context that has not been presented previously. Constraints on I/V ratio from future spacecraft measurements of the plume, in conjunction with consideration of the total plume composition and multicomponent analysis, can help constrain source conditions for the plume.

With IaaS clouds' growing popularity, tools and technologies are emerging that can transform an organization's existing infrastructure into a private or hybrid cloud. OpenNebula is an open source, virtual infrastructure manager that deploys virtualized services on both a local pool of resources and external IaaS clouds. Haizea, a resource lease manager, can act as a scheduling back end for OpenNebula, providing features not found in other cloud software or virtualization-based data center management software.

The previous theoretical and simulation works have demonstrate that a 500-Hz single-phase high-frequency ac (HFAC) microgrid is a novel step toward integrating renewable energy sources in a distributed generation system. This paper goes one step further in describing the practical implementation of HFAC microgrid with active filters for a small 1-kW system. The protection issues for both the source and series converters are also addressed in this paper by developing a new but simple protection scheme. In the experimental microgrid system, a universal active power line conditioner (UPLC) and a unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) are incorporated to control the power flow and power quality, respectively. Controllers for both the UPQC and UPLC are developed based on the instantaneous single-phase p-q theory, and controlled pulsewidth modulated inverters are then implemented to synthesize the desired compensating waveforms. The experimental results obtained confirm that the HFAC microgrid is a practical and useful step toward successfully integrating distributed renewable energy sources ensuring the improved system utilization.

These radiometers contain several channels located around the strong 183.31-GHz water vapor line, which is crucial for ground-based water-vapor measurements in very dry conditions, typical of the Arctic. Simultaneous radiosonde observations were carried out during conditions with very low integrated-water-vapor (IWV) content (< 2mm). Observations from the three instruments are compared, accounting for their different design characteristics. The overall agreement during RHUBC among the three instruments and between instruments and forward model is discussed quantitatively. In general, the instrument cross-validation performed for sets of channel pairs showed agreement within the total expected uncertainty. The consistency between instruments allows the determination of the IWV to within around 2% for these dry conditions. Comparisons between these data sets and forward-model simulations using radiosondes as input show spectral features in the brightness-temperature residuals, indicating some degree of inconsistency between the instruments and the forward model. The most likely cause of forward-model error is systematic errors in the radiosonde humidity profiles.

The triple-probe response is simulated for ion Mach numbers M = 0-5 and probe radii r(p) = 1-90 lambda(D) (Debye length). Results indicate that a high probe radius and high ion Mach numbers more closely approximate the ideal thin-sheath triple-probe response. Small probe radii on the order of the Debye length can result in temperature errors of the ideal model greater than 70% for a probe bias of 20 V. An analytical approximation is described, approximating triple-probe measurement offsets given arbitrary probe bias and probe radius and ion Mach numbers 0 < M < 5. The fitting error from this analytical approximation is estimated at 2%-6%. C1 [Gilchrist, Brian E.] Univ Michigan, Dept Elect Engn & Comp Sci, Radiat Lab, Ann Arbor, MI 48109 USA.

The measure is applied to a stochastic description of the experimental setup of Guet et al. (Science 2002, 296, pp. 1466), treating chemical inducers as functional inputs to biochemical networks and the expression of a reporter gene as the functional output. The authors take an information-theoretic approach, allowing the system to set parameters that optimise signal processing ability, thus enumerating each network's highest-fidelity functions. All networks studied are highly evolvable by the measure, meaning that change in function has little dependence on change in parameters. Moreover, each network's functions are connected by paths in the parameter space along which information is not significantly lowered, meaning a network may continuously change its functionality without completely losing it along the way. This property further underscores the evolvability of the networks. C1 [Mugler, A.] Columbia Univ, Dept Phys, New York, NY 10027 USA.

TI Mesoscopic statistical properties of multistep enzyme-mediated reactions SO IET SYSTEMS BIOLOGY LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 2nd q-bio Conference on Cellular Information Processing CY AUG 06-09, 2008 CL St John Coll, Santa Fe, NM HO St John Coll ID SINGLE; KINETICS; MOLECULES AB Enzyme-mediated reactions may proceed through multiple intermediate conformational states before creating a final product molecule, and one often wishes to identify such intermediate structures from observations of the product creation. In this study, the authors address this problem by solving the chemical master equations for various enzymatic reactions. A perturbation theory analogous to that used in quantum mechanics allows the determination of the first (< n >) and the second (sigma(2)) cumulants of the distribution of created product molecules as a function of the substrate concentration and the kinetic rates of the intermediate processes. The mean product flux V d < n >/dt (or 'dose-response' curve) and the Fano factor F = sigma(2)/< n > are both realistically measurable quantities, and whereas the mean flux can often appear the same for different reaction types, the Fano factor can be quite different. This suggests both qualitative and quantitative ways to discriminate between different reaction schemes, and the authors explore this possibility in the context of four sample multistep enzymatic reactions. Measuring both the mean flux and the Fano factor can not only discriminate between reaction types, but can also provide some detailed information about the internal, unobserved kinetic rates, and this can be done without measuring single-molecule transition events.

Real-time data are dynamic, transient, high-volume and temporal. Effective visualizations need to be able to accommodate dynamic data behavior as well as abstract and present the data in ways that make sense to and are usable by humans. The Visual Content Analysis of Real-Time Data Streams project at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is researching and prototyping dynamic visualization techniques and tools to help facilitate human understanding and comprehension of high-volume, real-time data. The general strategy of the project is to develop and evolve visual contexts that will organize and orient high-volume dynamic data in conceptual and perceptive views. The goal is to allow users to quickly grasp dynamic data in forms that are intuitive and natural without requiring intensive training in the use of specific visualization or analysis tools and methods. Thus far, the project has prototyped five different visualization prototypes that represent and convey dynamic data through human-recognizable contexts and paradigms such as hierarchies, relationships, time and geography. We describe the design considerations and unique features of these dynamic visualization prototypes as well as our findings in the exploration and evaluation of their use.

Implementation of the Ziegler-Biersack-Littmark (ZBL) model for short-range interatomic interactions enables studies of response to ion bombardment. Collision cascades are modelled in fcc Cu, bcc Nb, and in Cu-Nb layered composites in the experimentally-observed Kurdjumov-Sachs (KS) orientation relation. The interfaces in these composites reduce the number of vacancies and interstitials created per keV of the primary knock-on atom (PKA) by 50-70% compared to fcc Cu or bcc Nb. C1 [Demkowicz, M.

TI ACTION-DERIVED AB INITIO MOLECULAR DYNAMICS SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF APPLIED MECHANICS LA English DT Article DE Molecular dynamics; least-action principle; ab initio calculations; transition pathways; activation energy AB Action-derived molecular dynamics (ADMD) is a numerical method to search for minimum-energy dynamic pathways on the potential-energy surface of an atomic system. The method is based on Hamilton's least-action principle and has been developed for problems of activated processes, rare events, and long-time simulations. In this paper, ADMD is further extended to incorporate ab initio total-energy calculations, which enables the detailed electronic analysis of transition states as well as the exploration of energy landscapes. Three numerical examples are solved to demonstrate the capability of this action-derived ab initio molecular dynamics (MD). The proposed approach is expected to circumvent the severe time-scale limitation of conventional ab intio MD simulations. C1 [Jun, S.] Univ Wyoming, Dept Mech Engn, Dept 3295, Laramie, WY 82071 USA.

For typical nanoindentation applications, the indentation modulus can thus be approximated from the response of a circular contact with pressure of the form of [1 - (r/a)(2)](-1/2), where r is the radial coordinate and a is the contact radius. The surface-displacement Green's function for elastically anisotropic film-on-substrate system is derived in closed-form by using the Stroh formalism and the two-dimensional Fourier transform. The predicted dependence of the effective modulus on the ratio of film thickness to contact radius agrees well with detailed finite element simulations. Implications in evaluating film modulus by nanoindentation technique are also discussed. C1 [Li, T. L.; Lee, J. H.; Gao, Y. F.] Univ Tennessee, Dept Mat Sci & Engn, Knoxville, TN 37996 USA. [Gao, Y.

With the help of parallel computing techniques, we conducted a comprehensive, large-scale numerical simulation Of CO2 geologic storage that predicts not only CO2 migration, but also its impact on regional groundwater flow. As a case study, a hypothetical industrial-scale CO2 injection in Tokyo Bay, which is surrounded by the most heavily industrialized area in Japan, was considered, and the impact Of CO2 injection on near-surface aquifers was investigated, assuming relatively high seal-layer permeability (higher than 10 microdarcy). A regional hydrogeological model with an area of about 60 km x 70 km around Tokyo Bay was discretized into about 10 million gridblocks. To solve the high-resolution model efficiently, we used a parallelized multiphase flow simulator TOUGH2-MP/ECO2N on a world-class high performance supercomputer in Japan, the Earth Simulator. In this simulation, CO2 was injected into a storage aquifer at about 1 km depth under Tokyo Bay from 10 wells, at a total rate of 10 million tons/year for 100 years. Through the model, we can examine regional groundwater pressure buildup and groundwater migration to the land surface. The results suggest that even if containment of CO2 plume is ensured, pressure buildup on the order of a few bars can occur in the shallow confined aquifers over extensive regions, including urban inlands.

TI The consequences of failure should be considered in siting geologic carbon sequestration projects SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF GREENHOUSE GAS CONTROL LA English DT Article DE Geologic carbon sequestration; Site selection; Risk assessment; Regulation ID DISPOSAL; STORAGE; WASTE AB Geologic carbon sequestration is the injection of anthropogenic CO(2) into deep geologic formations where the CO(2) is intended to remain indefinitely. If successfully implemented, geologic carbon sequestration will have little or no impact on terrestrial ecosystems aside from the mitigation of climate change. However, failure of a geologic carbon sequestration site, such as large-scale leakage Of CO(2) into a potable groundwater aquifer, could cause impacts that would require costly remediation measures. Governments are attempting to develop regulations for permitting geologic carbon sequestration sites to ensure their safety and effectiveness. At present, these regulations focus largely on decreasing the probability of failure. In this paper we propose that regulations for the siting of early geologic carbon sequestration projects should emphasize limiting the consequences of failure because consequences are easier to quantify than failure probability.

The results show that surfaces with a layer of foam protruding upward with open edges had the highest convective enhancement over that of the bare substrate under the same conditions. For the protruding cases. convective enhancements of 30-70% were observed for airflows ranging from 7-11 m/s, for foam thicknesses in the range 2-10 mm. The highest enhancements were observed for foam specimens with the most open, interconnected void structure. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. C1 [Sultan, K.; DeGroot, C. T.; Straatman, A.

TI CaBr2 hydrolysis for HBr production using a direct sparging contactor SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HYDROGEN ENERGY LA English DT Article DE Calcium bromide; Hydrolysis; Thermochemical hydrogen; Kinetics AB The calcium-bromine cycle being investigated is a novel continuous hybrid cycle for hydrogen production employing both heat and electricity. Calcium bromide (CaBr2) hydrolysis generates hydrogen bromide (HBr) which is electrolyzed to produce hydrogen. The CaBr2 hydrolysis at 1050 K (777 degrees C) is endothermic with the heat of reaction delta G(T) = 181.5 KJ/mol (43.38 kcal/mol) and the Gibbs free energy change is positive at 99.6 kJ/ mol (23.81 kcal/mol). What makes this hydrolysis reaction attractive is both its rate and that well over half the thermodynamic requirements for water-splitting heat of reaction of delta G(T) = 285.8 KJ/mol (68.32 kcal/mol) are supplied at this stage using heat rather than electricity. Molten-phase calcium bromide reactors may overcome the technical barriers associated with earlier hydrolysis approaches using supported solid-phase calcium bromide studied in the Japanese UT-3 cycle. Before constructing the experiment two design concepts were evaluated using COMSOL (TM) multi-physics models; 1) the first involved sparging steam into a calcium-bromide melt, while 2) the second considered a "spray-dryer" contactor spraying molten calcium bromide counter-currently to upward-flowing steam. A recent paper describes this work [6]. These studies indicated that sparging steam into a calcium-bromide melt is more feasible than spraying molten calcium bromide droplets into steam. Hence, an experimental sparging hydrolysis reactor using a mullite tube (ID 70 mm) was constructed capable of holding 0.3-0.5 kg (1.5-2.5 X 10(-3) kg mol) CaBr2 forming a melt with a maximum 0.08 m (8 cm) depth. Sparging steam at a steam rate of 0.02 mol/mol of CaBr2 per minute (1.2-2.3 x 10(-5) kg/s), into this molten bath promptly yielded HBr in a stable operation that converted up to 25% of the calcium bromide. The kinetic constant derived from the experimental data was 2.17 x 10(-12) kmol s(-1) m(-2) MPa-1 for the hydrolysis reaction. The conversion rate is highly dependent on melt depth and the design for steam sparging. This experimental data provides a basis for designing a larger-scale sparging hydrolysis reactor for the calcium bromide thermochemical cycle where the endothermic heat of reaction can be effectively supplied by heat transfer coils embedded in the melt.

TI Automotive storage of hydrogen in alane SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HYDROGEN ENERGY LA English DT Article DE Hydrogen storage; Metal hydrides; Alane; Transportation ID VEHICLES AB Although alane (AlH(3)) has many interesting properties as a hydrogen storage material, it cannot be regenerated on-board a vehicle. One way of overcoming this limitation is to formulate an alane slurry that can be easily loaded into a fuel tank and removed for off-board regeneration. In this paper, we analyze the performance of an on-board hydrogen storage system that uses alane slurry as the hydrogen carrier. A model for the on-board storage system was developed to analyze the AlH(3) decomposition kinetics, heat transfer requirements, stability, startup energy and time, H(2) buffer requirements, storage efficiency, and hydrogen storage capacities. The results from the model indicate that reactor temperatures higher than 200 degrees C are needed to decompose alane at reasonable liquid hourly space velocities, i.e., > 60 h(-1). At the system level, a gravimetric capacity of 4.2 wt% usable hydrogen and a volumetric capacity of 50 g H(2)/L may be achievable with a 70% solids slurry. Under optimum conditions, similar to 80% of the H(2) stored in the slurry may be available for the fuel cell engine. The model indicates that H(2) loss is limited by the decomposition kinetics rather than by the rate of heat transfer from the ambient to the slurry tank. (C) 2009 Professor T. Nejat Veziroglu.

Temperatures at which these ion sources gave maximum intensities were measured for each of these elements. The temperature trends correlate with the dissociation energies of the corresponding metal dicarbide compounds. The metal dicarbide functions as a carrier to take the lanthanide and actinide elements to higher temperatures than would be attainable otherwise. This results in release of the atomic species at a higher temperature where ionization probability is significantly increased. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Our high statistics data allow us to detect weaker transitions and bands not previously published. Also, gamma branching ratios, which are important for theory, are carefully measured from all levels. In Ru-110, we find a doubling of levels for both ground and quasi-gamma bands above the 8(+) levels. There are likely two-phonon quasi-gamma bands in Ru-110,Ru-112, as well as a bandhead level in Ru-108. The odd-even spin energy band staggering observed in the quasi-gamma bands in Ru-108,Ru-110,Ru-112 and the doubling of levels in Ru-110 present a challenge to theory. C1 [Zhu, S. J.; Che, X.

Here we report the first complete genome sequence for a psychrophilic methanogenic archaeon, Methanococcoides burtonii. The genome sequence was manually annotated including the use of a five-tiered evidence rating (ER) system that ranked annotations from ER1 (gene product experimentally characterized from the parent organism) to ER5 (hypothetical gene product) to provide a rapid means of assessing the certainty of gene function predictions. The genome is characterized by a higher level of aberrant sequence composition (51%) than any other archaeon. In comparison to hyper/thermophilic archaea, which are subject to selection of synonymous codon usage, M. burtonii has evolved cold adaptation through a genomic capacity to accommodate highly skewed amino-acid content, while retaining codon usage in common with its mesophilic Methanosarcina cousins. Polysaccharide biosynthesis genes comprise at least 3.3% of protein coding genes in the genome, and Cell wall, membrane, envelope biogenesis COG genes are overrepresented. Likewise, signal transduction (COG category T) genes are overrepresented and M. burtonii has a high 'IQ' (a measure of adaptive potential) compared to many methanogens. Numerous genes in these two overrepresented COG categories appear to have been acquired from epsilon-and delta-Proteobacteria, as do specific genes involved in central metabolism such as a novel B form of aconitase. Transposases also distinguish M. burtonii from other archaea, and their genomic characteristics indicate they have an important role in evolving the M. burtonii genome. Our study reveals a capacity for this model psychrophile to evolve through genome plasticity (including nucleotide skew, horizontal gene transfer and transposase activity) that enables adaptation to the cold, and to the biological and physical changes that have occurred over the last several thousand years as it adapted from a marine to an Antarctic lake environment.

TI Electron spin resonance in the Heusler alloy YbRh2Pb SO JETP LETTERS LA English DT Article AB An electron spin resonance (ESR) signal was observed in a concentrated Kondo lattice, Heusler alloy YbRh2Pb. It is attributed to the combined effect of the 4f local magnetic moments of Yb3+ and conduction electrons. It is shown that the significant broadening and disappearance of the ESR line at temperatures above 20 K is caused by the processes of the spin-lattice relaxation of the Yb3+ ions through the first excited Stark doublet with an activation energy Delta a parts per thousand 73.5 K. A comparison of the ESR data for YbRh2Pb and some other undoped intermetallic compounds based on ytterbium, cerium, and europium indicates that hybridized electronic states occurring as the result of hybridization between the localized 4f electrons and the collectivized conduction electrons constitute a fundamentally new source of ESR.

To mitigate potential contamination events, accurate prediction of solute transport through water distribution pipe networks is crucial. However, most models of flow and transport through pipe networks assume contaminants mix instantaneously and completely at pipe junctions. In many cases, this leads to a poor representation of the actual mixing behavior, consequently leading to potentially inaccurate contaminant source detection and vulnerability and risk assessments. This article presents data comparisons and new models for mixing In several different junction configurations-a new bulk-advective mixing (BAM) model, EPANET-BAM, an augmented version of the widely used US Environmental Protection Agency EPANET software; and an even newer BAM-WRAP model, not yet implemented in EPANET-BAM. These new models provide more accurate assessments of solute/contaminant concentrations throughout the water distribution network, which will be useful for risk and exposure assessments to protect public health.-SB C1 [O'Rear, Leslie, Jr.] Sandia Natl Labs, Livermore, CA 94550 USA.

DLOS determines the absolute optical ionization energy, discerns majority versus minority carrier photoemission, and has sensitivity to nonradiative defect centers. These are important aspects of deep level spectroscopy for NRs that are not obtainable using luminescence techniques alone. Deep level defects were observed via DLOS at E(c)-2.81 eV, E(c)-1.77 eV, and E(c)-3.19 eV, where E(c) is the conduction band minimum. The mu-PL spectra revealed a dominant defect band peaked near 2.19 eV. The E(c)-2.81 eV band gap state and the 2.19 eV PL peak can be attributed to the same defect center within a one-dimensional configuration-coordinate model. The NR DLOS spectra are compared to reports for thin film GaN, and possible physical origins of the deep level defects are discussed. C1 [Armstrong, A.; Li, Q.; Bogart, K. H. A.; Lin, Y.; Wang, G.

As power densities in nanodevices increase, excitations of electrons from sub-conduction-band energy levels will become more probable. These sub-conduction-band electronic excitations significantly affect the material's thermophysical properties. In this work, the role of d-band electronic excitations is considered in electron energy transfer processes in thin Au films. The electronic structure and density of states for gold are calculated using a plane wave pseudopotential density function approach. In thin films with thicknesses less than the electron mean free path, ballistic electron transport leads to electron-interface scattering. The ballistic component of electron transport is studied by a ballistic-diffusive approximation of the Boltzmann transport equation with input from ab initio calculations. The effects of d-band excitations on electron-interface energy transfer are analyzed during electron-phonon nonequilibrium after short pulsed laser heating in thin films.

Single crystalline GaN substrates were irradiated at cryogenic temperatures with 2 MeV Au(2+) ions to a fluence of 7.35x10(15) Au/cm(2). Cross-sectional TEM observations revealed that damaged layers consisting of amorphous and nanocrystalline phases are formed at the surface and buried depth of the as-irradiated GaN substrate. Atomic radial distribution functions of the amorphous/polynanocrystalline regions showed that not only heteronuclear Ga-N bonds but also homonuclear Ga-Ga bonds exist within the first coordination shell. It was found that the ratio of heteronuclear-to-homonuclear bonds, i.e., the degree of chemical disorder, is different between the surface and buried damaged layers. The alternation of chemical disorder was attributed to the difference in the defect formation processes between these layers.

The Lagrangian wave velocity and stress were determined from the measured particle velocities and compared to the previously measured elastic values. The data show that x-cut quartz remains essentially elastic up to stresses greater than 10 GPa during ramp loading, but that the elastic yield behavior is dependent on the sample thickness.

Despite the low symmetry of these crystals, the complete set of 13 elastic constants were determined accurately from acoustic velocity measurements using samples cut parallel to three different crystal planes. Our acoustic velocities are consistent with the limited sound speed data available from ultrasonic measurements. However, significant differences are observed between the elastic constants determined from our experiments and those obtained previously using Brillouin scattering. Our results demonstrate the usefulness and efficiency of the ISTS method for determining the full set of elastic constants of low-symmetry molecular crystals, including energetic crystals.

Literature reports on the effects of shear on different micellar solutions are inconsistent. In this paper, the effects of shear on three cationic drag-reducing surfactant solutions each with very different nanostructures and rheological behaviors, Arquad 16-50/sodium salicylate (NaSal) (5 mM/5 mM) (has thread-like micelles, shear-induced structure and large first normal stress (N-1)), Arquad S-50/NaSal (5 mM/12.5 mM) (has branched micelles, no shear-induced structure and first normal stress is about zero) and Arquad 16-50/sodium 3,4-dimethyl-benzoate (5 mM/5 mM) (has vesicles and thread-like micelles, shear-induced structure and high first normal stress (N-1)) are studied by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS), together with their theological properties, drag reduction behavior and nanostructures by cryogenic-temperature transmission electron microscopy(cryo-TEM). The differences in the theological behavior and the SANS data of the solutions are explained by the different responses of the nanostructures to shear based on a two-step response to shear.

TI THE GOOGLE BOOK SEARCH SETTLEMENT: A NEW ORPHAN-WORKS MONOPOLY? SO JOURNAL OF COMPETITION LAW & ECONOMICS LA English DT Article AB This paper considers the proposed settlement agreement between Google and the Authors Guild relating to Google Book Search (GBS). I focus on three issues that raise antitrust and competition policy concerns. First, the agreement calls for Google to act as agent for rightsholders in setting the price of online access to consumers. Google is tasked with developing a pricing algorithm that will maximize revenues for each of those works. Direct competition among rightsholders would push prices towards some measure of costs and would not be designed to maximize revenues. The consumer access pricing provision might very well fail a challenge under Section 1 of the Sherman Act. Second, and much more centrally to the settlement agreement, the opt-out class action will make it possible for Google to include orphan works in its book search service. Orphan works are works as to which the rightsholder cannot be identified or found. The opt-out class action is the vehicle for large-scale collective action by active rightsholders. Active rightsholders have little incentive to compete with themselves by granting multiple licenses of their works or of the orphan works. Plus under the terms of the settlement agreement, active rightsholders benefit directly from the revenues attributable to orphan works used in GBS. We can mitigate the market power that will otherwise arise through the settlement by expanding the number of rights licenses available under the settlement agreement. To do that, we should take the step of unbundling the orphan works deal from the overall settlement agreement and create a separate license to use those works. All of that will undoubtedly add more complexity to what is already a large piece of work, and it may make sense to push out the new licenses to the future. That would mean ensuring now that the court retains jurisdiction to do that and/or giving the new registry created in the settlement the power to do this sort of licensing. Third, there is a risk that approval by the court of the settlement could cause antitrust immunities to attach to the arrangements created by the settlement agreement. As it is highly unlikely that the fairness hearing will undertake a meaningful antitrust analysis of those arrangements, if the district court approves the settlement, the court should include a clause-call this a no Noerr clause-in the order approving the settlement providing that no antitrust immunities attach from the court's approval.

Tests at intermediate rates were performed at speeds of 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 2, and 4 m/s. Modes of failure and specific energy absorption (SEA) values were studied. The highest SEA measured was 86 kJ/kg. This value was observed using Carbon/Epoxy samples at quasi static rates with a 45 degrees chamfer initiator. The highest energy absorption for Twintex tubes was observed to be 57.56 kJ/kg during 45 degrees chamfer initiated tests at 0.25 m/s. Compared with steel and aluminium, SEA values of 15 and 30 kJ/kg, respectively, the benefits of using composite materials in crash structures become apparent.

We first describe a simple method for coupling nonconforming acoustic-acoustic meshes, and then show that a similar approach, together with the coupling operators from conforming analysis, can also be applied to nonconforming structural acoustics. In the case of acoustic-acoustic interfaces, the continuity of acoustic pressure is enforced with a set of linear constraint equations. For structural acoustic interfaces, the same set of linear constraints is used, in conjunction with the weak formulation and the coupling operators that are commonly used in conforming structural acoustics. The constraint equations are subsequently eliminated using a static condensation procedure. We show that our method is equally applicable to time domain, frequency domain, and coupled eigenvalue analysis for structural acoustics. Numerical examples in both the time and frequency domains are presented to verify the methods.

TI A modified implicit Monte Carlo method for time-dependent radiative transfer with adaptive material coupling SO JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL PHYSICS LA English DT Article DE Implicit Monte Carlo method; Thermal radiative transfer; High energy density physics ID TRANSFER EQUATIONS AB In this paper we develop a robust implicit Monte Carlo (IMC) algorithm based on more accurately updating the linearized equilibrium radiation energy density. The method does not introduce oscillations in the solution and has the same limit as Delta t -> infinity as the standard Fleck and Cummings IMC method. Moreover, the approach we introduce can be trivially added to current implementations of IMC by changing the definition of the Fleck factor. Using this new method we develop an adaptive scheme that uses either standard IMC or the modified method basing the adaptation on a zero-dimensional problem solved in each cell. Numerical results demonstrate that the new method can avoid the nonphysical overheating that occurs in standard IMC when the time step is large. The method also leads to decreased noise in the material temperature at the cost of a potential increase in the radiation temperature noise. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

TI Stability analysis of implicit time discretizations for the Compton-scattering Fokker-Planck equation SO JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL PHYSICS LA English DT Article DE Radiative transfer; Compton scattering; Fokker-Planck approximation; Kompaneets' equation; Stability analysis ID RADIATIVE-TRANSFER; ELECTRONS AB The Fokker-Planck equation is a widely used approximation for modeling the Compton scattering of photons in high energy density applications. In this paper, we perform a stability analysis of three implicit time discretizations for the Compton-Scattering Fokker-Planck equation. Specifically, we examine (i) a Semi-Implicit (SI) scheme that employs backward-Euler differencing but evaluates temperature-dependent coefficients at their beginning-of-time-step values, (ii) a Fully Implicit (FI) discretization that instead evaluates temperature-dependent coefficients at their end-of-time-step values, and (iii) a Linearized Implicit (LI) scheme, which is developed by linearizing the temperature dependence of the FI discretization within each time step. Our stability analysis shows that the FI and LI schemes are unconditionally stable and cannot generate oscillatory solutions regardless of time-step size, whereas the SI discretization can suffer from instabilities and nonphysical oscillations for sufficiently large time steps. With the results of this analysis, we present time-step limits for the SI scheme that prevent undesirable behavior. We test the validity of our stability analysis and time-step limits with a set of numerical examples. Published by Elsevier Inc.

TI RESEARCH NOTE: THE SECURITY OF URINE DRUG TESTING SO JOURNAL OF DRUG ISSUES LA English DT Article AB We studied 23 different commercial products for collecting, storing, securing, and mailing urine samples analyzed for illicit drug use. Despite their tamper-indicating features, all of these products can be quickly and easily tampered with, either before or after sample collection, while leaving little or (usually) no evidence to be detected. Either false-positive or false-negative drug test results could then occur A brief review of other security practices and standards associated with urine drug testing suggests there may often be additional serious security problems. Given the importance of drug testing and the fact that illicit drug tests have a huge impact on people's careers, livelihoods, and reputations, better security, especially better tamper detection features, would seem warranted.

Each step in the DRX process was correlated to the development of whiskers. The DRX model depends upon the details of the deformation process(es) responsible for new grain initiation and growth. The dependencies exhibited by DRX as a function of deformation strain rate, temperature, and microstructure correlate with the behaviors of whisker development. Anomalous or ultrafast diffusion mechanisms, either by themselves or associated with the deformation structures, provide the means of mass transport necessary to grow whiskers. In Part II of this study, the strain and rate kinetics data are determined for Sn. Parts I and II, together, provide a critical step towards developing a capability to predict the conditions that are likely to cause whisker growth in engineering applications. C1 [Vianco, P.

Part II: Experimental Study SO JOURNAL OF ELECTRONIC MATERIALS LA English DT Article DE Sn whiskers; dynamic recrystallization; creep ID TIN SINGLE-CRYSTALS; STATIC RECRYSTALLIZATION; CREEP; TEMPERATURE; BEHAVIOR; DEFORMATION; KINETICS AB In Part I of this study, a dynamic recrystallization (DRX) model was proposed to describe the development of metal whiskers. A diffusion-assisted, dislocation-based mechanism would support the DRX steps of grain initiation (refinement) and grain growth. This, Part II, describes experiments investigating the time-dependent deformation (creep) of Sn under temperature conditions (0A degrees C, 25A degrees C, 50A degrees C, 75A degrees C, and 100A degrees C) and stresses (1 MPa, 2 MPa, 5 MPa, and 10 MPa) that are commensurate with Sn whisker development, in order to parameterize the DRX process. The samples, which had columnar grains oriented perpendicular to the stress axis similar to their morphology in Sn coatings but of larger size, were tested in the as-fabricated condition as well as after 24 h annealing treatments at 150A degrees C or 200A degrees C. The steady-state creep behavior fell into two categories: low (< 10(-7) s(-1)) and high strain rates (> 10(-7) s(-1)). The apparent activation energy (Delta H) at low strain rates was 8 +/- A 9 kJ/mol for the as-fabricated condition, indicating that an anomalously or ultrafast diffusion mass transport mechanism assisted deformation. Under the high strain rates, the Delta H was 65 +/- A 6 kJ/mol (as-fabricated). The rate kinetics were not altered significantly by the annealing treatments. The critical strain (epsilon (c)) and Zener-Hollomon parameter (Z) confirmed that these stresses and temperatures were nearly capable of causing cyclic DRX in the Sn creep samples, but would certainly do so in Sn coatings with the smaller grain size. The effects of the annealing treatments, coupled with the DRX model, indicate the need to maximize the creep strain rate during stress relaxation so as to avoid conditions that would favor whisker growth. This study provides a quantitative methodology for predicting the likelihood of whisker growth based upon the coating stress, grain size, temperature, and the similarity assumption of creep strain.

TI Results of Tests to Demonstrate a 6-in.-Diameter Coater for Production of TRISO-Coated Particles for Advanced Gas Reactor Experiments SO JOURNAL OF ENGINEERING FOR GAS TURBINES AND POWER-TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASME LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 4th International Topical Meeting on High Temperature Reactor Technology CY SEP 28-OCT 01, 2008 CL Washington, DC DE TRISO-coatings; nuclear fuel; coater; pyrocarbon; silicon carbide; particle properties ID FUEL-PARTICLES; PERFORMANCE; FABRICATION AB The next generation nuclear plant (NGNP)/advanced gas reactor (AGR) fuel development and qualification program includes a series of irradiation experiments in Idaho National Laboratory's advanced test reactor. Tristructural isotropic (TRISO)-coated particles for the first AGR experiment, AGR-1, were produced at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in a 2-in.(5-cm)-diameter coater. A requirement of the NGNP/AGR program is to produce coated particles for later experiments in coaters more representative of industrial scale. Toward this end, tests have been performed by Babcock and Wilcox (Lynchburg, VA) in a 6-in.(15-cm)-diameter coater. These tests have led to successful fabrication of particles for the second AGR experiment, AGR-2. While a thorough study of how coating parameters affect particle properties was not the goal of these tests, the test data obtained provide insight into process parameter/coated particle property relationships. Most relationships for the 6-in.-diameter coater followed trends found with the ORNL 2-in. coater, in spite of differences in coater design and bed hydrodynamics. For example, the key coating parameters affecting pyrocarbon anisotropy were coater temperature, coating gas fraction, total gas flow rate, and kernel charge size. Anisotropy of the outer pyrolytic carbon layer also strongly correlates with coater differential pressure. In an effort to reduce the total particle fabrication run time, silicon carbide (SiC) was deposited with methyltrichlorosilane (MTS) concentrations up to 3 mol %. Using only hydrogen as the fluidizing gas, the high concentration MTS tests resulted in particles with lower than desired SiC densities. However, when hydrogen was partially replaced with argon, high SiC densities were achieved with the high MTS gas fraction.

TI Density Change of an Oxidized Nuclear Graphite by Acoustic Microscopy and Image Processing SO JOURNAL OF ENGINEERING FOR GAS TURBINES AND POWER-TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASME LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 4th International Topical Meeting on High Temperature Reactor Technology CY SEP 28-OCT 01, 2008 CL Washington, DC AB The strong correlation between the density and the physical and mechanical properties of graphite suggests that the method of nondestructive density evaluation could be developed into a characterization technique of great value for the overall improvement of the safety of graphite moderator reactors. In this study, the oxidation-induced density changes in nuclear graphite for very high temperature reactor were determined by a conventional destructive bulk density measurement method (BM) and by a new nondestructive method based on acoustic microscopy and image processing (AM). The results were compared in order to validate the applicability of the latter method. For a direct comparison of the results from both measurements, two specimens were prepared from a cylindrical graphite sample (1 in. diameter and 1 in. height, oxidized to 10% weight loss at 973 K in air for 5 h). The specimens were used for characterization by BM and AM methods, respectively. The results show that, even with a large standard deviation of the AM, the density changing trend from both methods appeared the same. The present observation may be attributed to the fact that AM images reflect characteristic density changes of the graphite sample through the acoustic impedance changes. This study demonstrates the possibility of using AM as a nondestructive technique for the evaluation of density changes in graphite when a database is prepared through a systematic series of experiments.

The modeling approach to be presented here has been developed to help understand the effect of different parameters on the dynamics of this system. The first phase of this new modeling approach focuses on the fuel basket/salt interface involving the transport of various species found in the driver fuels (e. g., uranium and zirconium). This approach minimizes the guessed parameters to only one, the exchange current density (i(0)). U(3+) and Zr(4+) were the only species used for the current study. The result reveals that most of the total cell current is used for the oxidation of uranium, with little being used by zirconium. The dimensionless approach shows that the total potential is a strong function of i(0) and a weak function of wt % of uranium in the salt system for initiation processes.

Trihalomethane precursors diminish drinking water quality and are formed during natural decomposition of organic matter in aquatic systems. This study sought to identify sources of chlorine-reactive dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in the SJR watershed and to determine if wetlands were more important sources of THM precursors than nearby rivers and agricultural drains. The effects of biodegradation on DOC quality and quantity were investigated and analyzed across drainage type. Results show wetland drainage contained comparable bromide concentrations and organic carbon aromaticity but contained more than two times the average DOC concentrations found in agricultural drains and rivers. Wetland DOC did nor have an increased propensity to form THMs when compared with the other drainage types, despite significantly higher wetland formation potentials. The higher formation potentials measured in wetland drainages were attributed to higher DOC concentrations; the positive correlation found between DOC and trihalomethane formation potentials (THMFPs) and the significantly higher wetland DOC concentrations Suggest that increased wetland restoration could result in increased THMFPs in the SJR watershed. Wetland THM precursors were more resistant to biodegradation than THM precursors from agricultural and river samples. Results Suggest that THM precursors in the SJR were from algae and were biodegraded.

During the course of evolution, plants have repeatedly adapted to their respective niche, which is reflected in the changes of their body plan and the specific design of cell walls. Cell walls not only changed throughout evolution but also are constantly remodelled and reconstructed during the development of an individual plant, and in response to environmental stress or pathogen attacks. Carbohydrate-rich cell walls display complex designs, which together with the presence of phenolic polymers constitutes a barrier for microbes, fungi, and animals. Throughout evolution microbes have co-evolved strategies for efficient breakdown of cell walls. Our current understanding of cell walls and their evolutionary changes are limited as our knowledge is mainly derived from biochemical and genetic studies, complemented by a few targeted yet very informative imaging studies. Comprehensive plant cell wall models will aid in the re-design of plant cell walls for the purpose of commercially viable lignocellulosic biofuel production as well as for the timber, textile, and paper industries. Such knowledge will also be of great interest in the context of agriculture and to plant biologists in general. It is expected that detailed plant cell wall models will require integrated correlative multimodal, multiscale imaging and modelling approaches, which are currently underway.

The interoperability goal was met in two phases: firstly, agreeing on a common authorization query interface and protocol with an associated profile that ensures standardized use of attributes and obligations; and secondly implementing, testing, and deploying on OSG and EGEE, middleware that supports the interoperability protocol and profile. The activity has involved people from OSG, EGEE, the Globus Toolkit project, and the Condor project. This paper presents a summary of the agreed-upon protocol, profile and the software components involved.

Green, Daniel TI On the phenomenology of strongly coupled hidden sectors SO JOURNAL OF HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS LA English DT Article DE Supersymmetry Phenomenology ID RENORMALIZATION-GROUP; FIELD-THEORY; GEOMETRY AB In models of supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking and mediation, strongly coupled SUSY-breaking sectors can play a significant role in determining the low-energy spectrum of the model. For example, strong dynamics may provide a natural solution to both the SUSY flavor problem and the mu/B mu problem. Recently, it has been suggested that a large class of these models lead to identical boundary conditions at the SUSY breaking scale. These boundary conditions would severely constrain the models' viability. We demonstrate that the boundary conditions are instead sensitive to the details of the hidden sector, so that only specific hidden sectors may be ruled out by phenomenological considerations. We determine the high scale boundary conditions using the operator product expansion of the hidden sector. The techniques used to determine the beta functions are generally applicable to the RG flow of any approximately conformal hidden sector. The discrepancy with previously proposed boundary conditions can be traced to the fact that the renormalization group (RG) flow involves multiple fixed points.

By the AdS/CFT dictionary these backgrounds exhibit certain properties of the unparticle CFT at large N-c and strong 't Hooft coupling. Within the RS 2 model we also examine and contrast in detail the scalar and vector position-space correlators at intermediate and large distances. Unitarity of brane-to-brane scattering amplitudes is seen to imply a necessary and sufficient condition on the positivity of the bulk mass, which leads to the well-known unitarity bound on vector operators in a CFT.

In this work, we aim to answer this question for non-supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories with fermions in arbitrary chiral or vectorlike representations. We use the presence or absence of mass gap for gauge fluctuations as an identifier of the infrared behavior. With the present-day understanding of such gauge theories, the mass gap for gauge fluctuations cannot be computed on R-4. However, recent progress allows its non-perturbative computation on R-3 x S-1 by using either the twisted partition function or deformation theory, for a range of sizes of S-1 depending on the theory. For small number of fermions, N-f, we show that the mass gap increases with increasing radius, due to the non-dilution of monopoles and bions - the topological excitations relevant for confinement on R-3 x S-1. For sufficiently large Nf, we show that the mass gap decreases with increasing radius. In a class of theories, we claim that the decompactification limit can be taken while remaining within the region of validity of semiclassical techniques, giving the first examples of semiclassically solvable Yang-Mills theories at any size S1. For general non-supersymmetric vectorlike or chiral theories, we conjecture that the change in the behavior of the mass gap on R-3 x S-1 as a function of the radius occurs near the lower boundary of the conformal window and give non-perturbative estimates of its value. For vectorlike theories, we compare our estimates of the conformal window with existing lattice results, truncations of the Schwinger-Dyson equations, NSVZ beta function-inspired estimates, and degree of freedom counting criteria. For multi-generation chiral gauge theories, to the best of our knowledge, our estimates of the conformal window are the only known ones.

These systems are also interdependent, which means that the disruption of one infrastructure system can significantly impact the operation of other systems. Because of the heavy reliance on electricity production, it is important to assess possible vulnerabilities. Determining the source of these vulnerabilities can provide insight for risk management and emergency response efforts. This research uses data warehousing and visualization techniques to explore the interdependencies between coal mines, rail transportation, and electric power plants. By merging geospatial and nonspatial data, we are able to model the potential impacts of a disruption to one or more mines, rail lines, or power plants, and visually display the results using a geographical information system. A scenario involving a severe earthquake in the New Madrid Seismic Zone is used to demonstrate the capabilities of the model when given input in the form of a potentially impacted area. This type of interactive analysis can help decision makers to understand the vulnerabilities of the coal distribution network and the potential impact it can have on electricity production.

A brute-force method to compute the exact kNN graph takes Theta(dn(2)) time for n data points in the d dimensional Euclidean space. We propose two divide and conquer methods for computing an approximate kNN graph in Theta(dn(t)) time for high dimensional data (large d). The exponent t is an element of (1, 2) is an increasing function of an internal parameter a which governs the size of the common region in the divide step. Experiments show that a high quality graph can usually be obtained with small overlaps, that is, for small values of t. A few of the practical details of the algorithms are as follows. First, the divide step uses an inexpensive Lanczos procedure to perform recursive spectral bisection. After each conquer step, an additional refinement step is performed to improve the accuracy of the graph. Finally, a hash table is used to avoid repeating distance calculations during the divide and conquer process. The combination of these techniques is shown to yield quite effective algorithms for building kNN graphs. C1 [Chen, Jie; Saad, Yousef] Univ Minnesota, Dept Comp Sci & Engn, Minneapolis, MN 55455 USA.

The use of radio frequency (RF) microcoils has been shown to increase the sensitivity in mass-limited samples. Recent advances in micro-receiver technology have further demonstrated a substantial increase in mass sensitivity [D.L. Olson, T.L. Peck, A.G. Webb, R.L. Magin, J.V. Sweedler, High-resolution microcoil H-1-NMR for mass-limited, nanoliter-volume samples, Science 270 (5244) (1995) 1967-1970]. Lithographic methods for producing solenoid microcoils possess a level of flexibility and reproducibility that exceeds previous production methods, such as hand winding microcoils. This paper presents electrical characterizations of RF microcoils produced by a unique laser lithography system that can pattern three dimensional surfaces and compares calculated and experimental results to those for wire wound RF microcoils. We show that existing optimization conditions for RF coil design still hold true for RF microcoils produced by lithography. Current lithographic microcoils show somewhat inferior performance to wire wound RF microcoils due to limitations in the existing electroplating technique. In principle, however, when the pitch of the RF microcoil is less than 100 pm lithographic coils should show comparable performance to wire wound coils. In the cases of larger pitch, wire cross sections can be significantly larger and resistances lower than microfabricated conductors. Published by Elsevier Inc.

All CaVO3 films, independent of epitaxial strain, exhibit metallic and Pauli paramagnetic behavior as CaVO3 single crystals. X-ray absorption measurements confirmed the 4+ valence state for Vanadium ions. With prolonged air exposure, an increasing amount of V3+ is detected and is attributed to oxygen loss in the near surface region of the films. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The experimentally measured stiffness-displacement response is applied to a simple membrane model that assumes the film deformation is dominated by stretching as opposed to bending. Dimensional analysis is used to identify appropriate limitations of the proposed model. Experimental verification of the method is demonstrated for Al/0.5 wt% Cu films nominally 22 mu m wide, 0.55 mu m thick, and 150, 300, and 500 mu m long. The estimated modulus for the four freestanding films match the value measured by electrostatic techniques to within 2%, and the residual stress to within 19.1%. The difference in residual stress can be completely accounted for by thermal expansion and a modest change in temperature of 3 degrees C. Numerous experimental pitfalls are identified and discussed. Collectively, these data and the technique used to generate them should help future investigators make more accurate and precise measurements of the mechanical properties of freestanding thin films using nanoindentation.

We observed field-induced AFE-to-ferroelectric (FE) phase transition. The electric field for the AFE-to-FE phase transition (E-AF approximate to 270 kV/cm) and that for the reverse phase transition (E-FA approximate to 230 kV/cm) were measured at room temperature on samples with PUT films of approximate to 1-mu m thickness. Relative permittivity of approximate to 560 and dielectric loss of <0.05 were measured near zero DC bias field. Hysteresis loop analysis showed that energy densities of approximate to 53 and 37 J/cm(3) can be stored and recovered from the film-on-foil capacitors at 25 and 150 degrees C, respectively. Highly accelerated life tests were conducted. The projected mean time to failure is >5000 h when the capacitors are operated at room temperature with an applied field of approximate to 300 kV/cm.

In typical examples, V is a large, but finite subset of Z(d). For finite range Hamiltonians with uniformly bounded interaction terms and a unique, gapped ground state, we demonstrate a locality property of the corresponding ground state projector. In such systems, this ground state projector can be approximated by the product of observables with quantifiable supports. In fact, given any subset X subset of V the ground state projector can be approximated by the product of two projections, one supported on X and one supported on X(c), and a bounded observable supported on a boundary region in such a way that as the boundary region increases, the approximation becomes better. This result generalizes to multidimensional models, a result of Hastings that was an important part of his proof of an area law in one dimension ["An area law for one dimensional quantum systems," J.

While AFM excels in its ability to elucidate structural detail and spatial arrangement, it lacks the ability to distinguish between similarly sized objects in a complex system. This information is readily accessible to optical imaging techniques via site-specific fluorescent labels, which enable the direct detection and identification of multiple components simultaneously. Here, we show how the utilization of semiconductor quantum dots (QDs), serving as contrast agents for both AFM topography and fluorescence imaging, facilitates the combination of both imaging techniques, and with the addition of a flow based DNA extension method for sample deposition, results in a powerful tool for the study of protein-DNA complexes. We demonstrate the inherent advantages of this novel combination of techniques by imaging individual RNA polymerases (RNAP) on T7 genomic DNA. Copyright (C) 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Studying the geochemical weathering indices of these pyroclastic deposits is important to get a clear picture about weathering profiles on deposits resulting from the eruption of Mt. Merapi. Immediately after the first phase of the eruption (March to June 2006), moist and leached pyroclastic deposits were collected. These pyroclastic deposits were found to be composed of volcanic glass, plagioclase feldspar in various proportions, orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene, olivine, amphibole and titanomagnetite. The total elemental composition of the bulk samples (including trace elements and heavy metals) was determined by wet chemical methods and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyses. Weathering of the pyroclastic deposits was studied using various weathering indices. The Ruxton ratio, weathering index of Parker, Vought resudual index and chemical index of weathering of moist pyroclastic deposits were lower than those of the leached samples, but the alteration indices (chemical and plagioclase) were slightly higher in the moist compared to the leached pyroclastic deposits.

We tested two different tPA formulations, free tPA and tPA bound to erythrocytes (RBC/tPA). Vehicle and each of the tPA treatments were injected intravenously into anesthetized rats 15 min after moderate lateral fluid percussion injury. The animals were sacrificed at 2 days for calculating microclot burden (n = 13) and IgG staining area (n = 13) in the brain sections as indicators of post-traumatic thrombosis and blood-brain barrier (BBB) breakdown, respectively. Another set of injured animals treated in the same way were sacrificed at 7 days to compare cortical lesion volumes (n = 28) and CA3 hippocampal cell loss (n = 24). All evaluations were done blinded with respect to treatment. No significant differences were found with respect to microclot burden or IgG staining volume. Injection of wild-type tPA caused significantly (p < 0.05) larger cortical injuries and greater cerebral hemorrhage. In contrast, there was significantly less cortical injury (p < 0.01) and hippocampal cell loss (p < 0.01) in the RBC/tPA group than in all other groups. These results reveal that RBC/tPA is more neuroprotective in experimental TBI than is unbound tPA.

Composites are being investigated to maximize the thermal conductivity of the inert matrix fuel by using thermally conductive MgO as the primary phase while improving its hot water corrosion resistance through the addition of a second phase acting as a hydration barrier. Inert matrix fuel candidate MgO-Nd2Zr2O7 composites were synthesized with multiple processing methods, the composite powders were characterized, the resulting microstructures quantitatively analyzed, and the thermal diffusivity of the composites was measured. Among the four processing methods investigated, ball milling and high-energy shaker blending produced the most homogeneous microstructures with a negligible amount of MgO and Nd2Zr2O7 heterogeneities. An effect of processing on the properties of the composites manifests as a larger variation in the thermal diffusivity in pellets processed by methods that produce a higher quantity and frequency of MgO and Nd2Zr2O7 heterogeneities than in methods that produce negligible amounts of heterogeneities.

A large composition range of MgO and ZrO(2) was evaluated to determine total concentrations, local environment, phases present, phase mixing, and phase composition. It was found that most compositions of the material consist of two phases: MgO (periclase) and ZrO(2) (cubic zirconia). The zirconia phase incorporates up to 5% (wt/wt) MgO and up to 20% and 10% (Wt/Wt) UO(2) and Er(2)O(3) respectively. This allows the fissile material and burnable poison to be incorporated into the zirconia crystal structure and defines the limits of this isomorphic substitution. The bond deformation due to the isomorphic substitution of uranium was determined by X-ray absorption fine structure. The MgO phase remains pure, which will enable design optimization of the overall thermophysical properties of the inert matrix fuel in regard to thermal diffusivity and thermal conductivity. This characterization data will be used in future studies to correlate the dissolution behavior of inert matrix material containing plutonium. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

To explore whether the resistance of HT9 to void swelling is maintained under more realistic operating conditions, the radiation-induced microstructure of an HT9 ferritic/martensitic hexagonal duct was examined following a six-year irradiation of a fuel assembly in the Fast Flux Test Reactor Facility (FFTF). The calculated irradiation exposure and average operating temperature of the duct at the location examined were similar to 155 dpa at similar to 443 degrees C. It was found that dislocation networks were predominantly composed of (a/2)<1 1 1> Burgers vectors. Surprisingly, for such a large irradiation dose, type a<1 0 0> interstitial loops were observed. Additionally, a high density of precipitation occurred. These two microstructural characteristics may have contributed to the rather low swelling level of 0.3%. Published by Elsevier B.V.

To determine the decomposition mechanism(s) responsible for these mechanical property changes, atom probe tomography was used to examine the niobium and impurity distributions after aging at 200 or 300 degrees C for times ranging from 2 h to 70 days. No patterns of niobium or impurity atoms were observed that would indicate segregation to the martensitic twin interfaces, making this hardening mechanism unlikely. Phase separation into roughly equiaxed regions of high and low niobium concentration was clearly observed after aging at 300 degrees C for 70 days. However, only subtle niobium concentration changes were observed after aging at 200 degrees C relative to the as-quenched condition, indicating that conventional phase separation is an unlikely explanation for the dramatic mechanical property changes at 200 degrees C. Therefore, consideration of aging mechanisms other than segregation and phase separation may be warranted. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. C1 [Clarke, A. J.; Field, R. D.; Hackenberg, R.

The collinear interstitialcy mechanism of N migration is predicted to be energetically more favourable than direct [0 0 1] hops. It is also found that U and N vacancies have close migration energies, and 0 impurities accelerate migration of N vacancies nearby. These values are both in qualitative agreement with the effect of oxygen on the reduction of the activation energy for thermal creep reported in the literature, as well as in quantitative agreement with the experimental data when taking into account the uncertainties. The migration energies have been implemented in the thermal creep model of the TRANS-URANUS fuel performance code. Therefore a concrete example is provided of how first principles computations can contribute directly to improve the design tools of advanced nuclear fuels, e.g. the predictions reveal a limited effect of oxygen on the thermo-mechanical performance of nitride fuels under fast breeder reactor (FBR) normal operating conditions.

Results were compared to the microstructure of the as-fabricated dispersion fuel to identify changes that occurred during irradiation. The layer that formed on the surface of the fuel U-7Mo particles during fuel plate fabrication exhibits stable irradiation performance as a result of the similar to 0.88 wt% Si present in the fuel meat matrix. During irradiation, the pre-formed interaction layer changed very little in thickness and composition. The overall irradiation performance of the fuel plate to moderate power and burnup was considered excellent. (C) 2009 Published by Elsevier B.V.

The methodology extends the idea of search-based performance optimizations, popular in linear algebra and FFT libraries, to application-specific computational kernels. Our work applies this strategy to a lattice Boltzmann application (LBMHD) that historically has made poor use of scalar microprocessors due to its complex data structures and memory access patterns. We explore one of the broadest sets of multicore architectures in the high-performance computing (HPC) literature, including the Intel Xeon E5345 (Clovertown), AMD Opteron 2214 (Santa Rosa), AMD Opteron 2356 (Barcelona), Sun T5140 T2+ (Victoria Falls), as well as a QS20 IBM Cell Blade. Rather than hand-tuning LBMHD for each system, we develop a code generator that allows us to identify a highly optimized version for each platform, while amortizing the human programming effort. Results show that our auto-tuned LBMHD application achieves up to a 15 times improvement compared with the original code at a given concurrency. Additionally, we present a detailed analysis of each optimization, which reveals surprising hardware bottlenecks and software challenges for future multicore systems and applications.

TI Perspectives of a mid-rapidity dimuon program at the RHIC: a novel and compact muon telescope detector SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICS G-NUCLEAR AND PARTICLE PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID RESISTIVE PLATE CHAMBERS; QUARK-GLUON PLASMA; HEAVY-ION COLLISIONS; PARTICLE IDENTIFICATION; STAR EXPERIMENT; COLLABORATION; TRAY AB We propose a large-area, cost-effective muon telescope detector (MTD) at mid-rapidity for the solenoidal tracker at the RHIC ( STAR) and for the next generation of detectors at a possible electron-ion collider. We utilize large multi-gap resistive plate chambers with long readout strips (long-MRPC) in the detector design. The results from cosmic ray and beam tests show that the intrinsic timing and spatial resolution for a long-MRPC are 60-70 ps and similar to 1 cm, respectively. The performance of the prototype muon telescope detector at STAR indicates that muon identification at a transverse momentum of a few GeV/c can be achieved by combining information from track matching with the MTD, ionization energy loss in the time projection chamber and time-of-flight measurements. A primary muon over secondary muon ratio of better than 1/3 can be achieved. This provides a promising device for future quarkonium programs and primordial dilepton measurements at the RHIC. Simulations of the muon efficiency, the signal-to-background ratio of J/psi, the separation of gamma 1S from 2S+3S states and the electron-muon correlation from charm pair production in the RHIC environment are presented.

TI Non-analog Monte Carlo estimators for radiation momentum deposition SO JOURNAL OF QUANTITATIVE SPECTROSCOPY & RADIATIVE TRANSFER LA English DT Article DE Radiation hydrodynamics; Radiative transfer; Monte Carlo; Momentum deposition ID MEAN FREE PATHS; TRANSPORT-THEORY AB The standard method for calculating radiation momentum deposition in Monte Carlo simulations is the analog estimator, which tallies the change in a particle's momentum at each interaction with the matter. Unfortunately, the analog estimator can suffer from large amounts of statistical error. In this paper, we present three new non-analog techniques for estimating momentum deposition. Specifically, we use absorption, collision, and track-length estimators to evaluate a simple integral expression for momentum deposition that does not contain terms that can cause large amounts of statistical error in the analog scheme. We compare our new non-analog estimators to the analog estimator with a set of test problems that encompass. a wide range of material properties and both isotropic and anisotropic scattering. In nearly all cases, the new non-analog estimators outperform the analog estimator. The track-length estimator consistently yields the highest performance gains, improving upon the analog-estimator figure of merit by factors of up to two orders of magnitude. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

This method exploits ratios of reflectances in the visible spectral range and provides an effective way to avoid three-dimensional (3D) cloud effects. The sensitivity study is performed for different observational conditions and random errors in input data. The results of the sensitivity study suggest that this ratio method has the ability to detect clear pixels even in close proximity to clouds. Such detection does not require a statistical analysis of the two-dimensional (2D) horizontal distribution of reflected solar radiation, which makes it suitable for operational retrievals. in comparison with previously suggested approaches, the ratio method has the capability to increase the "harvest" of clear pixels. Similar to the traditional independent pixel approximation (IPA), the ratio method has a low computational cost for retrieving AOD. In contrast to the IPA method, the ratio method provides much more accurate estimations of the AOD values under broken cloud conditions: pixel-based and domain-averaged estimations of errors in AOD are about 25% and 10%, respectively. Finally, both the ratio-based cloud screening and the accuracy of domain-averaged ratio-based AOD values do not suffer greatly when 5% random errors are introduced in the reflectances.

However, they still possess some features that are not entirely understood particularly in terms of topological characteristics, which go beyond making a distinction with just the geometrical structure at nanoscale. To effectively utilize the potential of these materials for technological needs, understanding both the geometrical and topological structure and perhaps relating these attributes to physical (optical/electronic, lattice vibrational) properties become indispensable. Here, we make an attempt to describe the differences between various nanostructures and provide geometrical and topological property assessment semiquantitatively by monitoring the phonon spectra using resonance Raman spectroscopy thereby also capturing the electronic spectra. We elucidate the notion of global topology and curvature for a range of technologically important nanoscale carbons including tubular (single-, double- and multiwalled nanotubes, peapod), spherical (hypo- and hyperfullerenes, onion-like carbon) and complex (nanocones, nanohorns, nanodisks and nanorings) geometries. To demonstrate the proof-of-concept, we determined the variation in the prominent Raman bands of the respective materials, represented as D, G and D* (the overtone of D) bands, as a possible topological or curvature trend due to their sensitivity toward structural modification. The latter arises from local topological defects such as pentagons giving rise to curved nanocarbons. In this study, we provide systematics of their variation with respect to their geometric forms and compare with highly oriented pyrolytic graphite and monolayer graphene since the nanocarbons discussed are their derivatives. Once established, this knowledge will provide a powerful machinery to understand newer nanocarbons and indeed point to an unprecedented emergent paradigm of global topology/curvature -> property -> functionality relationship. We emphasize that these concepts are applicable to other topologically distinct nanomaterials, which include boron-nitride (BN) nanotubes and nanotori, helical gold nanotubes and Mobius conjugated organics.

We focus on the case where the zero-temperature correlation function is dominated by a delta-function line arising from the coherent propagation of single-particle modes. Our specific examples are the two-point function of spin fields in the disordered phase of the quantum Ising and the O(3) nonlinear sigma models. We employ a Lehmann representation in terms of the known exact zero-temperature form factors to carry out a low-temperature expansion of two-point functions. We present two different but equivalent methods of regularizing the divergences present in the Lehmann expansion: one directly regulates the integral expressions of the squares of matrix elements in the infinite volume whereas the other operates through subtracting divergences in a large, finite volume. Our central results are that the temperature broadening of the lineshape exhibits a pronounced asymmetry and a shift of the maximum upwards in energy ('temperature-dependent gap'). The field theory results presented here describe the scaling limits of the dynamical structure factor in the quantum Ising and integer spin Heisenberg chains. We discuss the relevance of our results for the analysis of inelastic neutron scattering experiments on gapped spin chain systems such as CsNiCl3 and YBaNiO5. C1 [Essler, Fabian H.

This paper displays and quantifies results of the nonlinear resonance technique, both in time (signal reverberation) and in frequency (sweep) domains, as a function of sample crack density. The reverberation spectroscopy technique is applied to carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) composites exposed to increasing thermal loading. Considerable gain in sensitivity and consistent interpretation of the results for nonlinear signatures in comparison with the linear characteristics are obtained. The amount of induced damage is quantified by analyzing light optical microscopy images of several cross-sections of the CFRP samples using histogram equalization and grayscale thresholding. The obtained measure of crack density is compared to the global macroscopic nonlinearity of the sample and explicitly confirms that the increase in nonlinearity is linked to an increased network of cracks. A change from 1% to 3% in crack density corresponds to a tenfold increase in the signature of nonlinearity. Numerical simulations based on a uniform distribution of a hysteretic nonlinear constitutive relation within the sample support the results. (C) 2009 Acoustical Society of America.

Ba2TiSi2O8 (fresnoite) and BaTiSiO5 (Ba-titanite) samples were prepared by a solid-state synthesis. The enthalpies of formation of Ba2TiSi2O8 crystal and glass at 25 degrees C and of BaTiSiO5 glass were obtained from drop solution calorimetry in a molten lead borate (2PbO-B2O3) solvent at 701 degrees C. The enthalpy of formation for fresnoite composition samples from constituent oxides was exothermic and became more exothermic with increasing crystallinity. Differential scanning calorimetry revealed that the crystallization rate of the fresnoite glasses increased with increasing devitrification. A modified Product Consistency Test-Procedure B (PCT-B) was used to collect solubility data on the fresnoite and titanate phases. The tests suggest that both glassy and crystalline fresnoite exhibit favorable aqueous stability and should be explored further as radioactive waste forms for long-term storage.

When the Ba-substituted precursor materials were heat treated to 850 degrees C for 4 h, a mixture of amorphous and unidentifiable phases formed. However, with the addition of 10 wt% of crystalline CsTiSi2O6.5 to the Ba-containing precursors, nearly single-phase pollucite was obtained after 20 h at 750 degrees C for x >= 0.6. The added crystalline CsTiSi2O6.5 particles act as nuclei that allow the Ba-containing materials to crystallize into the pollucite phase and to avoid the formation of unwanted phases that would otherwise nucleate and grow. These new materials can be used to study the stability of CsTiSi2O6.5 as a durable ceramic waste form, which could accommodate with time both Cs and its decay product, Ba.

Oxidation of Tyr (AngII+O) leads to a low-energy charge-remote selective fragmentation channel resulting in the b(4)+O fragment ion. Modification of His (AngII+3O and AngII+4O) leads to a series of new selective dissociation channels. For AngII+3O and AngII+4O, the formation of [MH+3O](+)-45 and [MH+3O](+)-71 are driven by charge-remote processes while it is suggested that b(5) and [MH+3O](+)-88 fragments are a result of charge-directed reactions. Energy-resolved SID experiments and RRKM modeling provide threshold energies and activation entropies for the lowest energy fragmentation channel for each of the parent ions. Fragmentation of the ozonolysis products was found to be controlled by entropic effects.

TI Improving FAIMS Sensitivity Using a Planar Geometry with Slit Interfaces SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR MASS SPECTROMETRY LA English DT Article ID ION MOBILITY SPECTROMETRY; IONIZATION-MASS-SPECTROMETRY; GAS-CHROMATOGRAPHIC DETECTOR; FUNNEL INTERFACE; TRANSMISSION EFFICIENCY; COMPENSATION VOLTAGE; ELECTRIC-FIELD; EMITTER ARRAYS; DYNAMIC-RANGE; MS AB Differential mobility spectrometry or field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS) is gaining broad acceptance for analyses of gas-phase ions, especially in conjunction with largely orthogonal separation methods such as mass spectrometry (MS) and/or conventional (drift tube) ion mobility spectrometry. In FAIMS, ions are filtered while passing through a gap between two electrodes that may have planar or curved (in particular, cylindrical) geometry. Despite substantial inherent advantages of the planar configuration and its near-universal adoption in current stand-alone FAIMS devices, commercial FAIMS/MS systems have employed curved FAIMS geometries that can be more effectively interfaced to MS. Here we report a new planar (p-) FAIMS design with slit-shaped entrance and exit apertures that substantially increase ion transmission in and out of the analyzer. The entrance slit interface effectively couples p-FAIMS to multi-emitter electrospray ionization (ESI) sources, improving greatly the ion current introduced to the device and allowing liquid flow rates up to similar to 50 mu L/min. The exit slit interface increases the transmission of ribbon-shaped ion beams output by the p-FAIMS to downstream stages such as a MS. Overall, the ion signal in ESI/FAIMS/MS analyses increases by over an order of magnitude without affecting FAIMS resolution.

TI On How Hot Towers Fuel the Hadley Cell: An Observational and Modeling Study of Line-Organized Convection in the Equatorial Trough from TOGA COARE SO JOURNAL OF THE ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES LA English DT Article ID EQUIVALENT POTENTIAL TEMPERATURE; VERTICAL VELOCITY EVENTS; AIRBORNE DOPPLER RADARS; TROPICAL SQUALL-LINE; 9 FEBRUARY 1993; NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS; OCEANIC CONVECTION; HURRICANE BONNIE; MOIST CONVECTION; PACIFIC-OCEAN AB An airflow trajectory analysis was carried out based on an idealized numerical simulation of the nocturnal 9 February 1993 equatorial oceanic squall line observed over the Tropical Ocean and Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment (TOGA COARE) ship array. This simulation employed a nonhydrostatic numerical cloud model, which features a sophisticated 12-class bulk microphysics scheme. A second convective system that developed immediately south of the ship array a few hours later under similar environmental conditions was the subject of intensive airborne quad-Doppler radar observations, allowing observed airflow trajectories to be meaningfully compared to those from the model simulation. The results serve to refine the so-called hot tower hypothesis, which postulated the notion of undiluted ascent of boundary layer air to the high troposphere, which has for the first time been tested through coordinated comparisons with both model output and detailed observations. For parcels originating ahead ( north) of the system near or below cloud base in the boundary layer (BL), the model showed that a majority (>62%) of these trajectories were able to surmount the 10-km level in their lifetime, with about 5% exceeding 14-km altitude, which was near the modeled cloud top (15.5 km). These trajectories revealed that during ascent, most air parcels first experienced a quick decrease of equivalent potential temperature (theta(e)) below 5-km MSL as a result of entrainment of lower ambient theta(e) air. Above the freezing level, ascending parcels experienced an increase in theta(e) with height attributable to latent heat release from ice processes consistent with previous hypotheses. Analogous trajectories derived from the evolving observed airflow during the mature stage of the airborne radar-observed system identified far fewer (similar to 5%) near-BL parcels reaching heights above 10 km than shown by the corresponding simulation. This is attributed to both the idealized nature of the simulation and to the limitations inherent to the radar observations of near-surface convergence in the subcloud layer. This study shows that latent heat released above the freezing level can compensate for buoyancy reduction by mixing at lower levels, thus enabling air originating in the boundary layer to contribute to the maintenance of both local buoyancy and the large-scale Hadley cell despite acknowledged dilution by mixing along updraft trajectories. A tropical "hot tower'' should thus be redefined as any deep convective cloud with a base in the boundary layer and reaching near the upper-tropospheric outflow layer.

A three-dimensional (3D) ordered phase is realized via, thermal fluctuations, breaking the mirror-image reflection symmetry in addition to the XY symmetry. A heuristic field-theoretical model of the transition has a decoupled fixed point in the 3D XY universality, and our Monte Carlo simulation suggests that there is such a temperature region where long-wavelength fluctuations can be described by this fixed point. However, it is shown using scaling arguments that the decoupled fixed point is unstable against a fluctuation-induced biquadratic interaction, indicating that a crossover to nontrivial critical phenomena with different exponents appears as one approaches the critical point beyond the transient temperature region. This new scenario clearly contradicts the previous notion of the 3D XY universality. C1 [Kamiya, Yoshitomo; Kawashima, Naoki] Univ Tokyo, Inst Solid State Phys, Chiba 2278581, Japan.

The ion implantation process was modeled by computer simulation and accurately predicted the layer depth and width. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to image the buried layer and individual nanoclusters; the layer width was similar to 6-8 nm and the cluster diameter was similar to 5-6 nm. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) absorption effects were observed by UV-visible spectroscopy. The TEM and SPR results were related to prior measurements of electrical conductivity of Au-doped PMMA, and excellent consistency was found with a model of electrical conductivity in which either at low implantation dose the individual nanoclusters are separated and do not physically touch each other, or at higher implantation dose the nanoclusters touch each other to form a random resistor network (percolation model).

Assessing impacts to such consumers requires accounting for the timing of exposures of individuals to tap-water contaminants that have time-varying concentrations. Here we present a probabilistic model for the timing of ingestion of tap water that we developed for use in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Threat Ensemble Vulnerability Assessment and Sensor Placement Tool, which is designed to perform consequence assessments for contamination events in water distribution systems. We also present a statistical analysis of the timing of ingestion activity using data collected by the American Time Use Survey. The results of the analysis provide the basis for our model, which accounts for individual variability in ingestion timing and provides a series of potential ingestion times for tap water. It can be combined with a model for ingestion volume to perform exposure assessments and applied in cases for which the use of characteristics typical of the United States is appropriate.

The gas hydrate occurs within very fine grained, immature volcaniclastic sands of the Oligocene Frio sand. Analysis of well data acquired from the Alaminos Canyon Block 818 #1 ("Tigershark") well shows a total gas hydrate occurrence 13 m thick, with inferred gas hydrate saturation as high as 80% of sediment pore space. Average porosity in the reservoir is estimated from log data at approximately 42%. Permeability in the absence of gas hydrates, as revealed from the analysis of core samples retrieved from the well, ranges from 600 to 1500 millidarcies. The 3-D seismic data reveals a strong reflector consistent with significant increase in acoustic velocities that correlates with the top of the gas-hydrate-bearing sand. This reflector extends across an area of approximately 0.8 km(2) and delineates the minimal probable extent of the gas hydrate accumulation. The base of the inferred gas-hydrate zone also correlates well with a very strong seismic reflector that indicates transition into units of significantly reduced acoustic velocity. Seismic inversion analyses indicate uniformly high gas-hydrate saturations throughout the region where the Frio sand exists within the gas hydrate stability zone. Numerical modeling of the potential production of natural gas from the interpreted accumulation indicates serious challenges for depressurization-based production in settings with strong potential pressure Support from extensive underlying aquifers.

TI A comparison of acute and chronic toxicity methods for marine sediments SO MARINE ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH LA English DT Article DE Sediment toxicity; Bioassay; Chronic; Sublethal; Amphipod; Polychaete ID AMPHIPOD LEPTOCHEIRUS-PLUMULOSUS; ESTUARINE AMPHIPOD; FRESH-WATER; NEANTHES ARENACEODENTATA; RHEPOXYNIUS-ABRONIUS; QUALITY GUIDELINES; AMPELISCA-ABDITA; HYALELLA-AZTECA; TESTS; BIOASSAY AB Sediment toxicity tests are valuable tools for assessing the potential effects of contaminated sediments in dredged material evaluations because they inherently address complexity (e.g.. unknown contaminants, mixtures, bioavailability). Although there is a need to understand the chronic and sublethal impacts of contaminants, it is common to conduct only short-term lethality tests in evaluations of marine sediments. Chronic toxicity methods for marine sediments have been developed but the efficacy of these methods is less documented. In this evaluation of marine sediments collected from the New York/New Jersey (NY/NJ) Harbor, three 10-d acute toxicity test methods (Ampelisca abdita, Leptocheirus plumulosus, Americamysis bahia) and three chronic and sublethal test methods (28-d L plumulosus, 20- and 28-d Neanthes arenaceodentata) were applied by three testing laboratories. Although the N. arenaceodentata and A. bahia tests did not indicate significant toxicity for the sediments tested in this study, these methods have been reported useful in evaluating other sediments. The 10-d A. abdita, 10-d L. plumulosus and 28-d L plumulosus tests were comparable between laboratories, indicating 29-43%, 29%, and 43-71% of the tested sediments as potentially toxic. The 28-d L. plumulosus method was the only chronic toxicity test that responded to the test sediments in this study. The 28-d L plumulosus endpoint magnitudes were related to sediment chemistry and the sublethal endpoints were reduced as much or more than acute lethality endpoints. However, intra-treatment sublethal endpoint variability was greater, compromising detection of statistical significance. In this study, the chronic L plumulosus test method was less consistent among laboratories relative to acute test methods, identifying potential for toxicity in a similar number (or slightly more) NY/NJ Harbor sediments.

TI Ultrasonic Techniques for Detection of Weak Adhesion SO MATERIALS EVALUATION LA English DT Article DE nondestructive testing; ultrasonics; adhesive bonds ID ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION; JOINTS AB If a nondestructive testing technique for assuring bond strength can be developed, evaluated and approved, then the use of adhesive bonds in critical structures could become widespread. Both postmanufacture and in-service testing techniques are required. While normal disbonds can be detected easily using ultrasonic testing or other methods, weak bonds and zero volume disbonds have proven extremely elusive. Six ultrasonic techniques are presented in this paper: two conventional (double through transmission and pulse/echo) and four advanced (wideband ultrasonic spectroscopy, nonlinear ultrasonics, oblique incidence ultrasound and shear wave resonance). This paper explains these techniques and reviews their application in previous work, and gives results from recent work on specimens with contaminated adhesive. Encouraging results obtained with double through transmission, pulse/echo and ultrasonic spectroscopy are discussed. The other techniques were found to be inconclusive for contaminated bond tines.

These developments open up an exciting possibility of building integrated systems in which electronic and biological components function side-by-side. However, to realize this vision of bionanoelectronics, researchers need to overcome a number of challenges ranging from materials incompatibility to drastically different operation modes. Fortunately, recent developments in biosensing, and device-level and tissue-level integration with nanomaterials have started to address these challenges.

Microcantilever-based systems are capable of real-time, multiplexed detection of unlabeled disease markers in extremely small volumes of samples. Currently available fabrication technology will allow the integration of electronic readout and sample introduction into a single unit, decreasing the device size, detection time, and cost. Biosensing technologies based on microfabricated cantilever arrays involving multiple cantilevers, electronic processing, and even local telemetry on a single chip have the potential of satisfying the need for highly sensitive and selective multiple-target detection in very small samples.

A challenging part of this process is the introduction of computable, orthogonal boundary patches, namely, the outlets, into treed structures, such as vasculature, arterial or airway trees. We present efficient and robust algorithms for automatically identifying and truncating the outlets for complex geometries. Our approach is based on a conceptual decomposition of objects into tips, segments, and branches, where the tips determine the outlets. We define the tips by introducing a novel concept called the average interior center of curvature and identify the tips that are stable and noise resistant. We compute well-defined orthogonal planes, which truncate the tips into outlets. The rims of the outlets are connected into curves, and the outlets are then closed using Delaunay triangulation. We illustrate the effectiveness and robustness of our approach with a variety of complex lung and coronary artery geometries.

The Bi-W powder compacts were uniaxially pressed at room temperature and the compaction behavior and mechanical properties were evaluated. Pressing was performed in incremental steps from similar to 1 to 540 MPa. After each step, the pressure was relieved and the thickness and sound-wave transit time were measured in situ (in the die), in order to determine the density and sound-wave velocity in the compact. The data show that the unreinforced Bi powder compacts to similar to 98 pct density at 540 MPa. The W reinforcement inhibits the densification process, resulting in increased levels of residual porosity. The compaction behavior was evaluated using a modified Heckel equation, while the porosity dependence of the ultrasonically determined elastic modulus was described by a site percolation approach. Postcompaction sound-wave velocity and Vicker's hardness measurements show < 5 pct anisotropy between the axial (pressing) and radial directions. The mechanical characterization illustrates the competing effects of the W reinforcement and the associated residual porosity. C1 [Martin, L. Peter] Tyco Thermal Controls, Menlo Pk, CA 94025 USA.

A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model is implemented to investigate the gas flow behavior that occurs during the HVOF process and a simplified one-dimensional decoupled model of the in-flight thermal behavior of the amorphous Fe-based powder particles was developed and applied for three different spray conditions. The numerical results were used to rationalize the different coating microstructures described in the experimental results. Low porosity and amorphous coatings were produced using two different particle size distributions (16 to 25 mu m and 25 to 53 mu m). The amorphous characteristics of the powder were retained in the coating due to melting and rapid solidification in the case of very fine powder or ligaments (< 16 mu m) and to the fact that the crystallization temperature was not reached in the case of the large particles (16 to 53 mu m).

SO MICROELECTRONICS RELIABILITY LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 20th European Symposium on Reliability of Electron Devices, Failure Physics and Analysis CY OCT 05-09, 2009 CL Arcachon, FRANCE ID SWITCHES AB This paper reviews the significant successes in MEMS products from a reliability perspective. MEMS reliability is challenging and can be device and process dependent, but exercising the proper reliability techniques very early in product development has yielded success for many manufacturers. The reliability concerns of various devices are discussed including ink jet printhead, inertial sensors, pressure sensors, micro-mirror arrays, and the emerging applications of RF switches and resonators. Metal contacting RF switches are susceptible to hydrocarbon contamination which can increase the contact resistance over cycle count. Packaging techniques are described in the context of the whole reliability program. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. C1 Sandia Natl Labs, Albuquerque, NM 87185 USA.

Mater. 60 878). Here, we examine the role that the structure of the grain boundary plays in aiding this phase transformation. By examining three bicrystalline systems with different types of grain boundaries (amorphous, Sigma 5 tilt and Sigma 5 twist), we study the influence on the phase transformation behavior by the critical applied stress to induce the phase transformation, the effects of grain size and the grain boundary type. We find that there is a critical applied stress below which the phase transformation does not occur, and that the phase transformation occurs more readily in systems with smaller grain sizes. Finally, we observe a weak dependence on the applied stress to cause the phase transformation with the grain boundary energy. C1 [Desai, Tapan G.] Idaho Natl Lab, Idaho Falls, ID 83415 USA.

By incorporating a coupled set of Cahn-Hilliard and Allen-Cahn equations, the model captures several relevant processes including vacancy annihilation and nucleation at grain boundaries (GBs), vacancy diffusion toward sinks (including GBs and void surfaces) as well as void nucleation and growth due to vacancy supersaturations occurring in the grain interiors. Illustrative results are presented that characterize the rate of annihilation of the vacancy population at the GB sinks, as well as the formation of void denuded zones adjacent to GBs in bicrystalline and polycrystalline samples, the width of which is found to depend on both the vacancy diffusivity and the vacancy production rate.

Both approaches are full-field approaches and use the same visco-plastic single crystal constitutive law. We investigate the texture and the heterogeneity of the inter- and intragranular stress and strain fields obtained from the two models. Additionally, we also look into their computational performance. Two cases-rolling of aluminum and wire drawing of tungsten-are used to evaluate the predictions of the two models. Results from both the models are similar, when large grain distortions do not occur in the polycrystal. The finite element simulations were found to be highly computationally intensive, in comparison with the fast Fourier transform simulations.

This model, which is phenomenological in nature, is cast in the form of coupled Cahn-Hilliard and Allen-Cahn type equations governing the dynamics of the vacancy concentration field and the void microstructure in the matrix, respectively. The model allows for a unified treatment of void nucleation and growth under the condition of random generation of vacancies, which is similar to vacancy generation by collision cascade in irradiated materials. The basic features of the model are illustrated using two-dimensional solutions for the cases of void growth and shrinkage in supersaturated and undersaturated vacancy fields, void-void interactions, as well as the spontaneous nucleation and growth of a large population of voids.

Using a chemical genetics strategy wherein Bur1 kinase was engineered to be regulated by a specific inhibitor, we found that Bur1 phosphorylates the Spt5 C-terminal repeat domain (CTD) both in vivo and in isolated elongation complexes in vitro. Deletion of the Spt5 CTD or mutation of the Spt5 serines targeted by Bur1 reduces recruitment of the PAF complex, which functions to recruit factors involved in chromatin modification and mRNA maturation to elongating polymerase II (Pol II). Deletion of the Spt5 CTD showed the same defect in PAF recruitment as rapid inhibition of Bur1 kinase activity, and this Spt5 mutation led to a decrease in histone H3K4 trimethylation. Brief inhibition of Bur1 kinase activity in vivo also led to a significant decrease in phosphorylation of the Pol II CTD at Ser-2, showing that Bur1 also contributes to Pol II Ser-2 phosphorylation. Genetic results suggest that Bur1 is essential for growth because it targets multiple factors that play distinct roles in transcription.

The Coqui (Eleutherodactylus coqui), a frog endemic to Puerto Rico, was introduced to Hawaii in the late 1980s via the horticulture trade, and has become an aggressive invader. To explore whether genetic diversity and population structure changed with the introduction, we assessed individuals from 15 populations across the Hawaiian Islands and 13 populations across Puerto Rico using six to nine polymorphic microsatellite loci and five dorsolateral colour patterns. Allelic richness (R(T)) and gene diversity were significantly higher in Puerto Rico than in Hawaii populations. Hawaii also had fewer colour patterns (two versus three to five per population) than Puerto Rico. We found no isolation by distance in the introduced range, even though it exists in the native range. Results suggest extensive mixing among frog populations across Hawaii, and that their spread has been facilitated by humans. Like previous research, our results suggest that Hawaiian Coquis were founded by individuals from sites around San Juan, but unlike previous research the colour pattern and molecular genetic data (nuclear and mtDNA) support two separate introductions, one on the island of Hawaii and one on Maui. Coquis are successful invaders in Hawaii despite the loss of genetic variation. Future introductions may increase genetic variation and potentially its range.

The short time required for sample preparation and analysis makes possible the study of a wide range of plant organs, revealing a high degree of heterogeneity in the substitution pattern of wall polymers such as the cross-linking glycan xyloglucan and the pectic polysaccharide homogalacturonan. The high sensitivity of MALDI-TOF allows the use of small amounts of samples, thus making it possible to investigate the wall structure of single cell types when material is collected by such methods as laser micro-dissection. As an example, the analysis of the xyloglucan structure in the leaf cell types outer epidermis layer, entire epidermis cell layer, palisade mesophyll cells, and vascular bundles were investigated. OLIMP is amenable to in situ wall analysis, where wall polymers are analyzed on unprepared plant tissue itself without first isolating cell walls. In addition, OLIMP enables analysis of wall polymers in Golgi-enriched fractions, the location of nascent matrix polysaccharide biosynthesis, enabling separation of the processes of wall biosynthesis versus post-deposition apoplastic metabolism. These new tools will make possible a semi-quantitative analysis of the cell wall at an unprecedented level.

We demonstrate how multivariate analysis of such spectra can be used to visualize cell wall changes between sample types as high-resolution 2D NMR loading spectra. Changes in composition and structure for both lignin and polysaccharides can subsequently be interpreted on a molecular level. The multivariate approach alleviates problems associated with peak picking of overlapping peaks, and it allows the deduction of the relative importance of each peak for sample discrimination. As a first proof of concept, we compare Populus tension wood to normal wood. All well established differences in cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin compositions between these wood types were readily detected, confirming the reliability of the multivariate approach. In a second example, wood from transgenic Populus modified in their degree of pectin methylesterification was compared to that of wild-type trees. We show that differences in both lignin and polysaccharide composition that are difficult to detect with traditional spectral analysis and that could not be a priori predicted were revealed by the multivariate approach. 2D NMR of dissolved cell wall samples combined with multivariate analysis constitutes a novel approach in cell wall analysis and provides a new tool that will benefit cell wall research.

Meunier, Vincent Sharma, Pradeep TI Novel Electromechanical Phenomena at the Nanoscale: Phenomenological Theory and Atomistic Modeling SO MRS BULLETIN LA English DT Article ID POLARIZATION; FLEXOELECTRICITY; DIELECTRICS; FILMS AB In the past two decades, the fact that "small is different" has been established for a wide variety of phenomena, including electrical, optical, magnetic, and mechanical behavior of materials. However, one largely untapped but potentially very important area of nanoscience involves the interplay of electricity and mechanics at the nanoscale. In this article, predicated on both phenomenological approaches and atomistic calculations, we summarize the state-of-the-art in understanding electromechanical coupling at the nanoscale. First, we address flexoelectricity-the coupling of strain gradient to polarization. Flexoelectricity exists in both piezoelectric and non piezoelectric dielectrics. As a high-order spatial-dispersion effect, the flexoelectricity becomes more and more important with the reduction of the spatial scale of the problem. Exploitation of this phenomenon and the associated nanoscale size effects can lead to tantalizing applications, such as "piezoelectric nanocomposites without using piezoelectric materials." The second issue concerns electromechanical effects at the dielectric/metal interface. An interface in solids typically exhibits a lower symmetry compared to that of the associated adhering materials. This symmetry reduction can drastically affect the electromechanical and dielectric behavior of the material at the nanoscale.

Electron microscopy reveals the formation of single-crystal c-axis wurtzite nanowires (typically 1-3 mu m long) with Mn concentrations up to x approximate to 0.6, accompanied by a dense horizontal undergrowth of shorter, crooked nanowires. Magnetophotoluminescence measurements show evidence for sp-d exchange effects in a reduced symmetry environment.

Using a combination of techniques, including scanning transmission electron microscopy equipped with X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, and X-ray absorption near-edge structure and extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopies, we identified the stoichiometry-dependent heterogeneous crystalline structures, as well as electronic structures with respect to the charge transfer between Pt and Au within both nanowires. In particular, we observed d-charge depletion at the Au site and the d-charge gain at the Pt site in Au48Pt52 nanowires, which accounted for its ferromagnetic magnetic behavior, in contrast to the paramagnetism and diamagnetism appearing respectively in bulk Pt and Au.

B. Subramanian, Vivek TI First-Principles Studies of the Dynamics of [2]Rotaxane Molecular Switches SO NANO LETTERS LA English DT Article ID TOTAL-ENERGY CALCULATIONS; WAVE BASIS-SET; ELECTRONIC DEVICES; MONOLAYERS; MECHANISM; MODEL AB Realization of controlled binary switching in individual molecules is of fundamental importance for nanoscale electronics where the use of molecular components promises the flexibility of engineering performance through controlled organic synthesis. The active component of the [2]rotaxane molecule consists of a cyclobis-(paraquat-p-phenylene) ring-shaped structure [(CBPQTI(4+))(PF(6)(-))(4)], proposed to switch between two stations, tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) and 1,5-dioxynapthalene (DNP), that lie along a common molecular backbone. However, there are still several open questions regarding their operation and performance, particularly in a device geometry. In this work, the switching speed of crossbar array devices based on [2]rotaxane arrays is studied with first principles density functional theory (DFT). The energetics of a likely configurational pathway for the CBPQT-ring shuttling along the molecular backbone between stations is computed and analyzed, as are ionization potentials and electrostatic screening properties. From these quantities, a new switching mechanism is identified. The applied bias at the cathode alters the energy landscape, making the OFF-state configuration energetically unfavorable relative to the ON-state without involving charging, as previously suggested.(1) For a crossbar memory array of reasonable size, the calculations predict that the switching speed is dominated by the shuttling time of the CBPQT-ring, which is estimated to be a few microseconds. The applicability of this technology is discussed in light of this result. C1 [Phoa, Kinyip; Subramanian, Vivek] Univ Calif Berkeley, Dept Elect Engn & Comp Sci, Berkeley, CA 94720 USA. [Neaton, J.

Here we demonstrate that these traditional models are insufficient. To understand electrocatalytic trends in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), the hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) and the oxidation of methanol on platinum surfaces in alkaline electrolytes, non-covalent interactions must be considered. We find that non-covalent interactions between hydrated alkali metal cations M(+)(H(2)O)(x) and adsorbed OH (OH(ad)) species increase in the same order as the hydration energies of the corresponding cations (Li(+) >> Na(+) > K(+) > Cs(+)) and also correspond to an increase in the concentration of OH(ad)-M(+)(H(2)O)(x) clusters at the interface. These trends are inversely proportional to the activities of the ORR, the HOR and the oxidation of methanol on platinum (Cs(+) > K(+) > Na(+) >> Li(+)), which suggests that the clusters block the platinum active sites for electrocatalytic reactions.

We used single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) networks to establish a mechanistic understanding of the solid-state oxygen sensitivity of a Eu(3+)-containing dendrimer complex. After illumination with 365 nm light, the SWNT networks decorated with the Eu(3+) dendrimer show bimodal (optical spectroscopic and electrical conductance) sensitivity towards oxygen gas at room temperature under ambient pressure. We investigated the mechanism of this unique oxygen sensitivity with time-resolved and steady-state optical spectroscopy, analysis of excited-state luminescence lifetimes and solid-state electrical transport measurements. We demonstrate a potential application of this system by showing a reversible and linear electrical response to oxygen gas in the tested range (5-27%).

We show that aberrantly acquired N-myristoylation of SHOC2, a leucine-rich repeat-containing protein that positively modulates RAS-MAPK signal flow(3-6), underlies a clinically distinctive condition of the neuro-cardio-facial-cutaneous disorders family. Twenty-five subjects with a relatively consistent phenotype previously termed Noonan-like syndrome with loose anagen hair (MIM607721)(7) shared the 4A>G missense change in SHOC2 (producing an S2G amino acid substitution) that introduces an N-myristoylation site, resulting in aberrant targeting of SHOC2 to the plasma membrane and impaired translocation to the nucleus upon growth factor stimulation. Expression of SHOC2(S2G) in vitro enhanced MAPK activation in a cell typespecific fashion. Induction of SHOC2(S2G) in Caenorhabditis elegans engendered protruding vulva, a neomorphic phenotype previously associated with aberrant signaling. These results document the first example of an acquired N-terminal lipid modification of a protein causing human disease.

TI Testing the itinerancy of spin dynamics in superconducting Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta SO NATURE PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID HIGH-TEMPERATURE SUPERCONDUCTOR; NEUTRON-SCATTERING; MAGNETIC EXCITATIONS; COOPER PAIRS; STATES AB Much of what we know about the electronic states of high-temperature superconductors is due to photoemission(1-3) and scanning tunnelling spectroscopy(4,5) studies of the compound Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta. The demonstration of well-defined quasi-particles in the superconducting state has encouraged many theorists to apply the conventional theory of metals, Fermi-liquid theory, to the cuprates(6-9). In particular, the spin excitations observed by neutron scattering at energies below twice the superconducting gap energy are commonly believed to correspond to an excitonic state involving itinerant electrons(10-14). Here, we present the first measurements of the magnetic spectral weight of optimally doped Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta in absolute units. The lack of temperature dependence of the local spin susceptibility across the superconducting transition temperature, T-cr is incompatible with the itinerant calculations. Alternatively, the magnetic excitations could be due to local moments, as the magnetic spectrum is similar to that in La1.875Ba0.125CuO4 (ref. 15), where quasiparticles(16) and local moments(17) coexist.

TI Electronic correlations in the iron pnictides SO NATURE PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID SUPERCONDUCTORS; CRO2; TRANSPORT; SR2RUO4; SYSTEMS AB In correlated metals derived from Mott insulators, the motion of an electron is impeded by Coulomb repulsion due to other electrons. This phenomenon causes a substantial reduction in the electron's kinetic energy, leading to remarkable experimental manifestations in optical spectroscopy(1). The high-transition-temperature (T(c)) superconducting cuprates are perhaps the most studied examples of such correlated metals. The occurrence of high-T(c) superconductivity in the iron pnictides(2-4) puts a spotlight on the relevance of correlation effects in these materials(5). Here, we present an infrared and optical study on single crystals of the iron pnictide superconductor LaFePO. We find clear evidence of electronic correlations in metallic LaFePO with the kinetic energy of the electrons reduced to half of that predicted by band theory of nearly free electrons. We deduce that electronic many-body effects are important in the iron pnictides despite the absence of a Mott transition. C1 [Qazilbash, M. M.; Hamlin, J. J.; Baumbach, R. E.; Maple, M. B.; Basov, D.

Zhang, Shuang Zhang, Xiang TI Mimicking celestial mechanics in metamaterials SO NATURE PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID LOW GROUP-VELOCITY; MOVING-MEDIA; LIGHT; INDEX; REFRACTION; OPTICS; FIELDS AB Einstein's general theory of relativity establishes equality between matter-energy density and the curvature of spacetime. As a result, light and matter follow natural paths in the inherent spacetime and may experience bending and trapping in a specific region of space. So far, the interaction of light and matter with curved spacetime has been predominantly studied theoretically and through astronomical observations. Here, we propose to link the newly emerged field of artificial optical materials to that of celestial mechanics, thus opening the way to investigate light phenomena reminiscent of orbital motion, strange attractors and chaos, in a controlled laboratory environment. The optical-mechanical analogy enables direct studies of critical light/matter behaviour around massive celestial bodies and, on the other hand, points towards the design of novel optical cavities and photon traps for application in microscopic devices and lasers systems.

TI Turning solid aluminium transparent by intense soft X-ray photoionization SO NATURE PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID FREE-ELECTRON LASER; TRANSITIONS; SPECTRUM; METALS; STATE; WATER AB Saturable absorption is a phenomenon readily seen in the optical and infrared wavelengths. It has never been observed in core-electron transitions owing to the short lifetime of the excited states involved and the high intensities of the soft X-rays needed. We report saturable absorption of an L-shell transition in aluminium using record intensities over 10(16)W cm(-2) at a photon energy of 92 eV. From a consideration of the relevant timescales, we infer that immediately after the X-rays have passed, the sample is in an exotic state where all of the aluminium atoms have an L-shell hole, and the valence band has approximately a 9 eV temperature, whereas the atoms are still on their crystallographic positions. Subsequently, Auger decay heats the material to the warm dense matter regime, at around 25 eV temperatures. The method is an ideal candidate to study homogeneous warm dense matter, highly relevant to planetary science, astrophysics and inertial confinement fusion.

However, it is unclear how a protein conformation can be stable enough to endure transmission between cells or organisms. Here we describe new polymorphic crystal structures of segments of prion and other amyloid proteins, which offer two structural mechanisms for the encoding of prion strains. In packing polymorphism, prion strains are encoded by alternative packing arrangements (polymorphs) of beta-sheets formed by the same segment of a protein; in segmental polymorphism, prion strains are encoded by distinct beta-sheets built from different segments of a protein. Both forms of polymorphism can produce enduring conformations capable of encoding strains. These molecular mechanisms for transfer of protein-encoded information into prion strains share features with the familiar mechanism for transfer of nucleic acid-encoded information into microbial strains, including sequence specificity and recognition by noncovalent bonds.

We evaluated the expression of GABAergic marker genes in rats with helpless behaviour, an animal model of depression. Male Sprague-Dawley rats from inbred lines were tested for helpless behaviour and grouped according to failures in terminating foot shock currents. Expression levels of GABAergic marker genes were assessed using semiquantitative in situ-hybridization. Animals with congenital helpless behaviour (cH) were unable to escape current exposure in contrast to cH-animals derived from the same litters with low failure rates and to non-helpless animals (cNH). We found a significant downregulation of the GABA transporter GAT3 in cLH rats. GAT1 showed small changes, glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD67) and the vesicular GABA transporter were not significantly altered. Reduced GABA transporter expression is well in concert with the behavioural phenotypes of knockout animals and strengthens the hypothesis of impaired glial functions in depression.

Consistent with this, our previous positron emission tomography (PET) studies of carbon-11 labeled SA showed that brain levels decrease rapidly after intravenous administration. SA is rapidly metabolized, giving the much less potent salvinorin B (SB), which is presumed to be responsible in part for SA's brief duration of action. To test this, we labeled the metabolically stable methyl ester of SA and SB with carbon-11 and compared their pharmacokinetics by PET imaging after intravenous administration to baboons. Labeling of salvinorin B ethoxymethyl ether (EOM-SB), a derivative with greater potency and resistance to metabolism, provided an additional test of the role of metabolism in brain efflux. Plasma analysis confirmed that SB and EOM-SB exhibited greater metabolic stability than SA. However, the three compounds exhibited very similar pharmacokinetics in brain, entering and exiting rapidly. This suggests that metabolism is not solely responsible for the brief brain residence time of SA. We determined that whole-brain concentrations of EOM-SB declined more slowly than SA after intraperitoneal administration in rodents. This is likely due to a combination in EOM-SB's increased metabolic stability and its decreased plasma protein affinity. Our results suggest that protecting salvinorin A derivatives from metabolism will prolong duration of action, but only when administered by routes giving slow absorption. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

Stephen TI Parametric evaluation of large-scale high-temperature electrolysis hydrogen production using different advanced nuclear reactor heat sources SO NUCLEAR ENGINEERING AND DESIGN LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 15th International Conference on Nuclear Engineering CY APR, 2007 CL Nagoya, JAPAN AB High-temperature electrolysis (HTE), when coupled to an advanced nuclear reactor capable of operating at reactor outlet temperatures of 800-950 degrees C, has the potential to efficiently produce the large quantities of hydrogen needed to meet future energy and transportation needs. To evaluate the potential benefits of nuclear-driven hydrogen production, the UniSim process analysis software was used to evaluate different reactor concepts coupled to a reference HTE process design concept. The reference HTE concept included an intermediate heat exchanger and intermediate helium loop to separate the reactor primary system from the HTE process loops and additional heat exchangers to transfer reactor heat from the intermediate loop to the HTE process loops. The two process loops consisted of the water/steam loop feeding the cathode side of a HTE electrolysis stack, and the sweep gas loop used to remove oxygen from the anode side. The UniSim model of the process loops included pumps to circulate the working fluids and heat exchangers to recover heat from the oxygen and hydrogen product streams to improve the overall hydrogen production efficiencies. The reference HTE process loop model was coupled to separate UniSim models developed for three different advanced reactor concepts (a high-temperature helium cooled reactor concept and two different supercritical CO(2) reactor concepts). Sensitivity studies were then performed with the objective of evaluating the affect of reactor outlet temperature on the power cycle efficiency and overall hydrogen production efficiency of the integrated plant design for each of the reactor power cycles. The results of these sensitivity studies showed that overall power cycle and hydrogen production efficiencies increased with reactor outlet temperature, but the power cycles producing the highest efficiencies varied depending on the temperature range considered.

TI ACCURACY AND EFFICIENCY OF A COUPLED NEUTRONICS AND THERMAL HYDRAULICS MODEL SO NUCLEAR ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article CT 12th International Topical Meeting on Nuclear Reactor Thermal Hydraulics CY 2007-2009 CL Pittsburgh, PA DE Modeling; Simulation; JFNK; Fully-implicit; Coupled ID EQUATIONS AB This manuscript will discuss a numerical method where the six equations of two-phase flow, the solid heat conduction equations, and the two equations that describe neutron diffusion and precursor concentration are solved together in a tightly coupled, nonlinear fashion for a simplified model of a nuclear reactor core. This approach has two important advantages. The first advantage is a higher level of accuracy. Because the equations are solved together in a single nonlinear system, the Solution is more accurate than the traditional "operator split" approach where the two-phase flow equations are solved first, the heat conduction is solved second and the neutron diffusion is solved third, limiting the temporal accuracy to 1(st) order because the nonlinear coupling between the physics is handled explicitly. The second advantage of the method described in this manuscript is that the time step control ill the fully implicit system can be based oil the timescale of the solution rather than a stability-based time step restriction like the material Courant limit required of operator-split methods. In this work, a pilot code was used which employs this tightly coupled, fully implicit method to Simulate a reactor core. Results are presented from a simulated control rod movement which show 2(nd) order accuracy in time. Also described in this paper is a simulated rod ejection demonstrating how the fastest timescale of the problem can change between the state variables of neutronics, conduction and two-phase flow during the course of a transient.

TI ONE-DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS OF THERMAL STRATIFICATION IN THE AHTR COOLANT POOL SO NUCLEAR ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article CT 12th International Topical Meeting on Nuclear Reactor Thermal Hydraulics CY 2007-2009 CL Pittsburgh, PA DE Thermal Stratification; AHTR; SFR; One-dimensional; Enclosure Mixing ID PLUMES; CONVECTION; MODEL; REACTOR AB It is important to accurately predict the temperature and density distributions in large stratified enclosures both for design optimization and accident analysis. Current reactor system analysis codes only provide lumped-volume based models that can give very approximate results. Previous scaling analysis has shown that stratified mixing processes in large stably stratified enclosures can be described using one-dimensional differential equations, with the vertical transport by jets modeled using integral techniques. This allows very large reductions in computational effort compared to three-dimensional CFD simulation. The BMIX++ (Berkeley mechanistic MIXing code in C++) code was developed to implement such ideas. This paper summarizes major models for the BMIX++ code, presents the two-plume mixing experiment simulation as one validation example, and describes the codes' application to the liquid salt buffer pool system in the AHTR (Advanced High Temperature Reactor) design. Three design options have been simulated and they exhibit significantly different stratification patterns. One of design options shows the mildest thermal stratification and is identified as the best design option. This application shows that the BMIX++ code has capability to provide the reactor designers with insights to understand complex mixing behavior with mechanistic methods. Similar analysis is possible for liquid-metal cooled reactors. C1 [Zhao, Haihua] Idaho Natl Lab, Idaho Falls, ID 83415 USA.

TI Investigation of electron Bernstein wave (EBW) coupling and its critical dependence on EBW collisional loss in high-beta, H-mode ST plasmas SO NUCLEAR FUSION LA English DT Article ID EMISSION AB High-beta spherical tokamak (ST) plasma conditions cut off propagation of electron cyclotron (EC) waves used for heating and current drive in conventional aspect ratio tokamaks. The electron Bernstein wave (EBW) has no density cutoff and is strongly absorbed and emitted at the EC harmonics, allowing EBWs to be used for heating and current drive in STs. However, this application requires efficient EBW coupling in the high-beta, H-mode ST plasma regime. EBW emission (EBE) diagnostics and modelling have been employed on the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) to study oblique EBW to O-mode (B-X-O) coupling and propagation in H-mode plasmas. Efficient EBW coupling was measured before the L-H transition, but rapidly decayed thereafter. EBE simulations show that EBW collisional damping prior to mode conversion (MC) in the plasma scrape off reduces the coupling efficiency during the H-mode phase when the electron temperature is less than 30 eV inside the MC layer. Lithium evaporation during H-mode plasmas was successfully used to reduce this EBW collisional damping by reducing the electron density and increase the electron temperature in the plasma scrape off. Lithium conditioning increased the measured B-X-O coupling efficiency from less than 10% to 60%, consistent with EBE simulations. C1 [Diem, S. J.; Caughman, J. B.; Wilgen, J.

CA ASDEX Upgrade Team TI Numerical simulations of fast ion loss measurements induced by magnetic islands in the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak SO NUCLEAR FUSION LA English DT Article ID SCINTILLATOR PROBE; FUSION PRODUCTS; TRANSPORT; TFTR AB A test particle approach, implemented with the Hamiltonian code ORBIT, is used to simulate measurements of fast ion losses induced by magnetic islands in the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak. In particular, the numerical simulations reproduce the toroidal localization of losses and the lost ions pitch angle and energy distribution experimentally measured with the fast ion losses detector (FILD) in the presence of a neoclassical tearing mode (NTM). The simulated NTM induced losses occurring on time scales longer than 100 mu s are composed of mainly trapped or barely passing particles, consistently with the slow decay of the experimental signal from one FILD channel after the beam switch-off. The numerical simulations have been performed by taking into account the D-shaped plasma geometry, the collision mechanisms, the losses due to ripple effects and the rotation of the mode. The radial profile of the magnetic perturbation is adjusted in order to match ECE measurements. While statistical properties of FILD measurements are rather well reproduced, the simulated total amount of losses is found to be significantly affected by edge details of the magnetic perturbation as it determines the loss mechanism.

TI Overview of the results on divertor heat loads in RMP controlled H-mode plasmas on DIII-D SO NUCLEAR FUSION LA English DT Article ID DYNAMIC ERGODIC DIVERTOR; ASDEX-UPGRADE; MAGNETIC PERTURBATIONS; TARGET PLATES; EDGE; FIELD; DEPOSITION; TRANSPORT; TOKAMAKS; TEXTOR AB In this paper the manipulation of power deposition on divertor targets at DIII-D by the application of resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) for suppression of large type-I edge localized modes (ELMs) is analysed. We discuss the modification of the ELM characteristics by the RMP applied. It is shown that the width of the deposition pattern in ELMy H-mode depends linearly on the ELM deposited energy, whereas in the RMP phase of the discharge those patterns are controlled by the externally induced magnetic perturbation. It was also found that the manipulation of heat transport due to the application of small, edge RMP depends on the plasma pedestal electron collisionality nu(e)*. We compare in this analysis RMP and no RMP phases with and without complete ELM suppression. At high nu(e)* > 0.5, the heat flux during the ELM suppressed phase is of the same order as the inter-ELM and the no-RMP phase. However, below this collisionality value, a slight increase in the total power flux to the divertor is observed during the RMP phase. This is most likely caused by a more negative potential at the divertor surface due to hot electrons reaching the divertor surface from the pedestal area along perturbed, open field lines.

A regime is identified in terms of CT injection speed and CT-to-background magnetic field ratio that appears promising for precise core fuelling. Shock-dominated regimes, which are probably unfavourable for tokamak fuelling, are also identified. The CT penetration depth is proportional to the CT injection speed and density. The entire CT evolution can be divided into three stages: (1) initial penetration, (2) compression in the direction of propagation and reconnection with the background magnetic field, and (3) coming to rest and spreading in the direction perpendicular to injection. Tilting of the CT is not observed due to the fast transit time of the CT across the background plasma. C1 [Liu, Wei; Li, Hui] Los Alamos Natl Lab, Div Theoret, Los Alamos, NM 87545 USA.

Electron temperature fluctuation levels are observed to decrease from L-mode levels (0.5% <= (T) over tilde (e)/T(e) <= 2% for k(theta)rho(s) < 0.5 as measured by correlation electron cyclotron emission radiometry) by at least a factor of four in H- and quiescent H-mode regimes in the DIII-D tokamak (r/a = 0.7). Linear stability calculations (using the trapped gyro-Landau fluid (TGLF) code) indicate that the observed temperature fluctuations are associated with L-mode ITG turbulence which is shear-stabilized at the L- to H-mode transition. Recent results from DIII-D provide the first experimental evidence that, in addition, intermediate-scale turbulence (0.5 < k(theta)rho(s) <= 3) is reduced at the L- H transition. A 30-40% prompt reduction (r/a >= 0.7) has been found at the L- H transition in co-injected medium density plasmas, with a larger decrease (>= 75%) observed near the pedestal top. Experimental results and TGLF calculations indicate that intermediate/small scale turbulence persists in H- mode at a reduced amplitude (0.6 <= r/a <= 1) and may substantially contribute to the residual anomalous H- mode electron heat transport.

Improved plasma performance with high beta(t) = 15-25%, a high bootstrap current fraction f(BS) = 45-50%, longer plasma pulses and an H-mode regime with smaller ELMs has been achieved in the strongly shaped lower single null configuration with elongation kappa = 2.2-2.4 and triangularity delta = 0.7-0.8. Divertor peak heat fluxes were reduced from 6-12 to 0.5-2 MW m(-2) in ELMy H-mode discharges using the inherently high magnetic flux expansion f(m) = 15-25 and the partial detachment of the outer strike point at several D(2) injection rates. A good core confinement and pedestal characteristics were maintained, while the core carbon concentration and the associated Z(eff) were reduced. The partially detached divertor regime was characterized by an increase in divertor radiated power, a reduction in ion flux to the plate and a large neutral compression ratio. Spectroscopic measurements indicated the formation of a high-density, low-temperature region adjacent to the outer strike point, where substantial increases in the volume recombination rate and C II, CIII emission rates were measured.

TI Demonstration of particle exhaust control during ELM suppression by resonant magnetic perturbations in DIII-D SO NUCLEAR FUSION LA English DT Article ID EDGE AB A reduction in plasma electron density ('pump-out') during the application of resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) on DIII-D precedes the suppression of edge localized modes (ELMs) in discharges with low (<= 0.2) electron pedestal collisionalities. The magnitude of the density drop near the plasma pedestal can be up to 30% and as low as similar to 2% for discharges with similar applied RMP, and thus motivates further study to determine the cause of the variation. Based on an analysis of the global particle balance and measurements of the D-alpha poloidal distribution, it is shown that the wall inventory can be strongly affected by changing the average triangularity () of the discharge. Specifically, particle balance in = 0.3 discharges shows that the density pump-out was substantially higher than the increase in particle exhaust to the cryo-pumps, i.e. wall pumping was apparently required. On the other hand, particle balance in = 0.5 discharges shows that the density pump-out was offset by an increase in exhaust to the cryo-pumps, i.e. wall pumping was not required. Correspondingly, the D-alpha intensity increased by similar to 50%-100% at = 0.5 during the RMP phase of the discharge when compared with theRMPphase of a = 0.3 discharge. Both of these observations imply a possible increase in the neutral particles in the scrape-off-layer. More significantly, this new result demonstrates density pump-out and ELM suppression without significant wall pumping, which is a desirable feature for long-pulse reactors with saturated walls.

The high-quality 1.2 GeV electron beam drives two-seeded Free Electron Lasers (FELs) in the wavelength range 100-10 nm. Wavelength tunability, variable polarization and higher electron beam energies to reach even shorter output wavelengths are also in the machine delivery plan. This paper describes the physics processes that have been modelled to simulate FERMI@elettra and the computer codes used to optimize the machine design. The paper focuses on several design challenges and how these translate into modelling and simulation challenges. (c) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Beam parameters can be chosen such that on-axis photons are above the K-edge for a given material, where absorption is very strong and there is relatively zero transmission. Photons observed off-axis are red-shifted and fall below the K-edge, therefore being transmitted and creating a "ring" pattern in the ideal case. Starting with photon energies below the K-edge and aperturing for small angles on-axis allows one to scan the electron beam to higher energy until all scattered photons are above the K-edge and absorbed, thus presenting a method of bandwidth measurement. Using these methods, we present experimental results of the bandwidth and double differential spectrum (DDS) for angle and energy of Compton photons generated at the Brookhaven National Laboratory Accelerator Test Facility (BNL ATF).

We investigated the microstructural changes in ribbon Zr55Cu30Al10Ni5 metallic glass after 1 MeV Cu-ion irradiation at room temperature, to a fluence of 1.0 x 10(16) cm(-2). In contrast to a recent report by others that there was no irradiation induced crystallization in the same alloy [S. Nagata, S. Higashi, B. Tsuchiya, K. Toh, T. Shikama, K. Takahiro, K. Ozaki, K. Kawatusra, S. Yamamoto, A. Inouye, Nucl. Instr. and Meth. B 257 (2007) 420], we have observed nanocrystals in the as-irradiated samples. Two groups of nanocrystals, one with diameters of 5-10 nm and another with diameters of 50-100 nm are observed by using high resolution transmission electron microscopy. Experimentally measured planar spacings (d-values) agree with the expectations for Cu10Zr7, NiZr2 and CuZr2 phases. We further discussed the possibility to form a substitutional intermetallic (NixCu1-x)Zr-2 phase. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The method consists of performing implantation in several steps with annealing between each step. Residual damage was analyzed by RBS/channeling and compared to a traditional implantation and annealing procedure. Better lattice recovery is clearly achieved using the alternating implantation and annealing approach. We attribute the efficient recovery to smaller damage amounts introduced during each implantation step, as well as to suppression of secondary defect formation. (C) 2009 Published by Elsevier B.V.

We calculate the probability distribution of gluon multiplicities arising from the distribution of color electric and color magnetic flux tubes found in the Glasma. We show that the result corresponds to the negative binomial probability distribution observed in experiments. The parameter k that characterizes this distribution is proportional to the number of colors N(c)(2) - 1 and to the number of flux tubes. For one gluon color and one flux tube, the multiplicity distribution is close to a Bose-Einstein distribution. We call this decay process "Glitter", it term that is explained below.

In this paper, uncollided adjoint flux integrals and forward-adjoint inner product integrals in volumes and on surfaces are derived for general geometries. In numerical test problems using a one-dimensional sphere and a two-dimensional (r-z) cylinder, deterministic and stochastic evaluations of the integrals yielded the same results. A semianalytic benchmark for the adjoint flux integral on a cylindrical surface is also used.

Discrete ordinates calculations use a 244-group energy structure based on previous research at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and focus on the effects of group widths in multigroup calculations for low-energy photons. Buildup-factor calculations in discrete ordinates benefit from coupled photon/electron cross sections to account for secondary photon effects. Also, ambient dose equivalent buildup factors were analyzed at lower energies where corresponding response functions do not exist in the literature. The results of these studies are directly applicable to radiation safety at LANL, where the dose-modeling code PANDEMONIUM is used to estimate worker dose in plutonium-handling facilities. Buildup factors determined in this work will be used to enhance the codes modeling capabilities but also should be of general interest to the radiation shielding community.

TI AMMONIUM POLYURANATE PRECIPITATION FROM FLUORIDE SOLUTIONS: AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE UO3-HF-NH3-H2O SYSTEM AS APPLIED IN UF6 PROCESSING SO NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article DE UF6 chemistry; diuranate process; uranyl fluorides ID URANATES; NH3-UO3-H2O AB In the ammonium diuranate (ADU) process, UF6 is reacted with water, and the acidic solution of uranyl fluoride is treated with aqueous ammonia to precipitate ammonium polyuranate for subsequent reduction to UO2 and production of fuel pellets for commercial nuclear reactors. Our experiments simulated adding aqueous ammonia to the reaction products of UF6 and water in typical ADU processes. Chemical and X-ray diffraction analysis of products from the experiments are consistent with postulated chemical equilibria in which solids with structures close to that of ammonium polyuranate are formed from co-precipitation of the NH4+(aq) cation with (previously unreported) anions of the form UO2F3-x(OH)(x)(-)(aq). More efficient separations of solid products were obtained at NH4OH:UF6 ratios of 19 or greater, with x closer to the value of 3 for the hypothetical formation of pure ammonium polyuranate. Supplementary experiments in the current study and a previous study in our laboratory indicated that nominal uranium concentrations of 90 mg/l in the filtrate resulting from such separations could be reduced to microgram per liter levels by batch mixing a 1-to-2.5 aqueous diluate of the filtrate with the Diphonix (R) ion exchange resin. Our study further demonstrated that reaction of the purified NH4OH-NH4F diluate with aqueous Ca(OH)(2) at 80 to 90 degrees C could produce essentially uranium-free CaF2 and an ammonia distillate, as useful waste-conversion end products from a modified ADU process.

Here, both K and M are symmetric positive definite. The proposed BDDC method is closely related to the previous dual-primal finite element tearing and interconnecting method (FETI-DP) for solving this type of problems (Appl. Numer Math. 2005; 54:150-166), where a coarse level problem containing certain free-space solutions of the inherent homogeneous partial differential equation is used in the algorithm to accelerate the convergence. Under the condition that the diameters of the subdomains are small enough, the convergence rate of the proposed algorithm is established, which depends polylogarithmically on the dimension of the individual subdomain problems and which improves with a decrease of the subdomain diameters. These results are supported by numerical experiments of solving a two-dimensional problem. Copyright (C) 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. C1 [Li, Jing] Kent State Univ, Dept Math Sci, Kent, OH 44242 USA.

We tested whether weight loss and normalization of adiposity could reverse ALP in overweight men with pattern B. After consuming a moderate-carbohydrate, high-fat diet for 3 weeks, pattern B and nonpattern B (pattern A) men were randomized to a weight loss (n = 60 and n = 36, respectively) or control weight-stable arm (n = 20 and n = 17, respectively). Men in the weight loss arm consumed similar to 1,000 fewer calories per day over 9 weeks to induce an average similar to 9kg weight loss. In the control group, weight stability was maintained for 4 weeks after randomization. Weight loss led to the conversion of pattern B to pattern A in 58% of baseline pattern B men. Among men who achieved BMIs of <25kg/m(2) (62% of pattern B men vs. 83% of pattern A men), 81% of pattern B men converted to pattern A. Weight loss was associated with a significantly greater decrease in small, dense LDL subclass 3b in pattern B relative to pattern A men. The lipoprotein profiles of pattern A men who converted from pattern B were comparable to those of men with pattern A at baseline. Conversion of LDL subclass pattern B to pattern A and reversal of ALP can be achieved in a high proportion of overweight men by normalization of adiposity.

The observed power-law time dependence of the normalized absorption coefficient is well represented by the thermal decay model of Erdogan et al. [J. Appl. Phys. 76, 73 (1994)]. Using this model, we derive the activation energy associated with thermal recovery of the induced loss to prephotodarkened state. For the studied commercial 20 mu m core diameter large-mode-area fiber, the energy distribution consists of a single peak, located at 1.32 eV with a FWHM of similar to 0.31 eV. The results presented are of particular importance to understanding photodarkening and bleaching processes in high-power fiber lasers.

Design: Intact cadaveric human knee joints were imaged, in the computed tomographic mode, using an analyzer-based X-ray,system at the National Synchrotron Light Source, Brookhaven National Laboratory. A collimated fan beam of 51 keV X-rays was prepared by a silicon [1,1,1 reflection] double-crystal monochromator. The X-ray beam transmitted through the specimen was imaged after diffraction in the vertical plane by means of the analyzer crystal with the analyzer crystal tuned to its half-reflectivity point (6.5 mu rad). A two-dimensional filtered backprojection (FBP) algorithm was used for reconstructing transverse slices of images. Results: The resulting images demonstrate simultaneous soft tissue and bone contrast at a level that has not been achieved previously. Identifiable structures include articular cartilage, cruciate ligaments, loose connective tissue, menisci, and chondrocalcinosis. Conclusion: Phase-sensitive X-ray imaging using an analyzer-based system renders exceptionally high quality images of soft and hard tissues within synovial joints, with high contrast and resolution, and thus holds promise for the eventual clinical utility.

This paper presents a fast two-scan algorithm for labeling of connected components in binary images. We propose an efficient procedure for assigning provisional labels to object pixels and checking label equivalence. Our algorithm is very simple in principle, easy to implement, and suitable for hardware and parallel implementation. We show the correctness of our algorithm, analyze its complexity, and compare it with other labeling algorithms. Experimental results demonstrated that our algorithm is superior to conventional labeling algorithms. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Photon echo techniques represent a powerful class of time-resolved electronic spectroscopy that allow researchers to probe the interactions normally hidden under broad linewidths with sufficient time resolution to follow the fastest energy transfer events in light harvesting. Here, we outline the technical approach and applications of two types of photon echo experiments: the photon echo peak shift and two-dimensional (2D) Fourier transform photon echo spectroscopy. We review several extensions of these techniques to photosynthetic complexes. Photon echo peak shift spectroscopy can be used to determine the strength of coupling between a pigment and its surrounding environment including neighboring pigments and to quantify timescales of energy transfer. Two-dimensional spectroscopy yields a frequency-resolved map of absorption and emission processes, allowing coupling interactions and energy transfer pathways to be viewed directly. Furthermore, 2D spectroscopy reveals structural information such as the relative orientations of coupled transitions. Both classes of experiments can be used to probe the quantum mechanical nature of photosynthetic light-harvesting: peak shift experiments allow quantification of correlated energetic fluctuations between pigments, while 2D techniques measure quantum beating directly, both of which indicate the extent of quantum coherence over multiple pigment sites in the protein complex. The mechanistic and structural information obtained by these techniques reveals valuable insights into the design principles of photosynthetic light-harvesting complexes, and a multitude of variations on the methods outlined here.

The high power of the neutron source demands that special attention be paid to the optimization of the background in order to be able to measure the two-dimensional maps of reflected and scattered intensities with polarized neutrons in a broad range of momentum transfer. It implies an effective separation of the magnetic and non-magnetic reflectivity, off-specular scattering and the grazing incidence SANS in a high range of momentum transfer. Therefore the polarizing and the analyzing efficiencies are of particular importance on this time-of-flight instrument. At the beginning of July 2008 the world's first (3)He neutron analyzer with on-line pump-up polarization was successfully installed and the tests with a magnetic multilayer film showing a strong off-specular spin-flip scattering were made. The performance of the instrument is under constant improvement in order to make it an effective and optimal instrument for the applications in nanosciences. Published by Elsevier B.V.

A pilot experiment was performed with the neutron polarization aligned perpendicular to the surface of a Fe-film in a magnetic field parallel to its surface. The Larmor-precession in the magnetic field between two current sheets was used to adjust the neutron polarization perpendicular to the sample surface. This new polarization-magnetization configuration was probed with a Fe-film in specular and off-specular scattering. The off-specular scattering is created by the magnetic domain structure of the Fe-film in remanence. The results of specular and off-specular scattering are reproduced by calculations for the configuration of the incoming neutron polarization parallel to the sample surface and the magnetic field and for the configuration of the incoming neutron polarization perpendicular to the sample surface and the magnetic field.

TI Birefringent neutron prisms for spin echo scattering angle measurement SO PHYSICA B-CONDENSED MATTER LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 7th International Workshop on Polarized Neutrons for Condensed Matter Investigations/2nd International Symposium of Quantum Beam Science Directorate CY SEP 01-05, 2008 CL Tokai, JAPAN SP Japanese Soc Neutron Sci, Magnet Soc Japan, Ibaraki Prefecture AB In the first decade of the 19th century, an English chemist, William Wollaston, invented an arrangement of birefringent prisms that splits a beam of light into two spatially separated beams with orthogonal polarizations. We have constructed similar devices for neutrons using triangular cross-section solenoids and employed them for Spin Echo Scattering Angle Measurement (SESAME). A key difference between birefringent neutron prisms and their optical analogues is that it is hard to embed the former in a medium which has absolutely no birefringence because this implies the removal of all magnetic fields. We have overcome this problem by using the symmetry properties of the Wollaston neutron prisms and of the overall spin echo arrangement. These symmetries cause a cancellation of Larmor phase aberrations and provide robust coding of neutron scattering angles with simple equipment. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Two of the leading methods to pelarize the (3)He gas are the spin-exchange optical pumping (SEOP) metho and the meta-stable exchange optical pumping (MEOP) method. At present, the SEOP setup is comparatively compact due to the fact that it does not require the sophisticated compressor system used in the MEOP method. the temperature and the laser power available determine the speed, at which the SEOP method polarized the (3)He gas. for the quantity of gas typically used in neutron scattering work, this speed in independent of the quantity of the gas required, whereas the polarizing ture using the MEOP method is proportional to the quantify of gas required. Currently, using the SEOP method to polarize serval bar-liters of (3)He to 70% polarization would required 20-40h. This is an order of magnitude longer than the MEOP metho for the same quantity of gas and polizarition. It would therefore be advantageous to speed up the SEOP process. In this article, we analyze the requirements for temperature, laser power, and the type of alkali used in order to shorten the time required to palarize (3)He gas using the SEOP method.

The photoluminescence spectrum of the highly conductive (1.3 x 10(3) S cm(-1)), as-grown AZO shows a poor near band edge (NBE) emission (3.30 eV) and no deep level emission at room temperature. In addition, the peak (3.386 eV) for the free excitons of AZO showed thermal quenching behavior with two activation energies (38.2 and 10.0 meV). The poor NBE emission is attributed to the nonradiative recombination center created by Al doping. Highly conductive (6.0 x 10(2) S cm(-1)) and intense NBE emitting AZO films could be achieved by the reduction of the nonradiative recombination centers through hydrogen annealing.

To realize the full potential of these unique nanosystems, however, a deep understanding of their response to optical excitation on a sub-picosecond time scale is required. Here we review recent ultrafast optical studies of carrier dynamics in semiconductor NWs. These experiments have been performed on different materials as a function of both intrinsic NW parameters such as diameter and doping as well as experimental parameters including photoexcited carrier density and wavelength. A variety of phenomena, including one-dimensional (1D) exciton dynamics, rapid carrier trapping at surface and bulk defects, and lasing from an electron-hole plasma (EHP) have been observed. These first measurements of ultrafast carrier dynamics are a tantalizing hint of the rich physics yet to be discovered in these quasi-1D systems. [GRAPHICS] Ultrafast optical spectroscopy can track the temporal evolution of carrier populations in semiconductor NWs with femtosecond time resolution. (C) 2009 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Edge roughness and vacancies have been shown to have a large impact on the performance of graphene nanoribbon transistors. In contrast, we show how certain defects can be used to enhance the electronic and magnetic properties of graphene nanoribbons. We explore the properties of hybrid graphene nanoribbons with armchair and zigzag features joined by an array of pentagon-heptagon structural defects.

Signal in the Pt3+ production channel is dominated by 4f detachment and allows for the observation of a d-wave Wigner threshold law following single-photon absorption. Promoting a 5p electron into the 5d orbital produces a shape resonance while promoting a 4f electron produces Feshbach resonances, demonstrating the importance of core-valence interactions.

Polarization-dependent resonant inelastic x-ray scattering is observed experimentally after resonant K-shell excitation of CF3Cl and HCl. We explain the linear dichroism observed in spin-orbit level intensities as due to molecular field effects, including singlet-triplet exchange, and interpret this behavior in terms of population differences in the 2p(x,y,z) inner-shell orbitals. We investigate theoretically the different factors that can affect the electronic populations and the dynamical R dependence of the spin-orbit ratio. Finally, the results obtained are used to interpret the L-shell absorption spectra of the two molecules.

TI Photoionization cross sections for ions of the cerium isonuclear sequence SO PHYSICAL REVIEW A LA English DT Article ID XE-LIKE IONS; CHARGED IONS; BA; PHOTOABSORPTION; RADIATION; COLLAPSE; BARIUM; ATOMS AB Photoionization cross sections for Ce(q+) (1 <= q <= 9) ions were measured in the 105-180 eV energy range of the 4d inner-shell giant resonance by merging a mass-to-charge-ratio-selected ion beam with a beam of monochromatized synchrotron radiation. The Cowan atomic structure code was used as an aid to interpret the experimental data. Four Rydberg series for 4d -> nf (n >= 4) and 4d -> np (n >= 6) autoionizing excitations were assigned using the quantum-defect theory in the Ce(3+) photoionization cross section. The experimental data show the collapse of the nf wave functions (n >= 4) with increasing ionization stage as outer-shell electrons are stripped from the parent ion. The nf orbital collapse occurs partially for Ce(2+) and Ce(3+) ions and completely for Ce(4+), where these wave functions penetrate the core region of the ion. A strong contribution to the total oscillator strength was observed in multiple photoionization channels for Ce(+), Ce(2+), and Ce(3+), whereas most of the 4d excitations of the higher charge states decay by ejection of one electron.

While the binding energies depend significantly on the exchange-correlation approximation employed for DFT calculations, QMC calculations show that the electron density is accurately described within DFT, including the quantitative features in the reduced density gradient. We elucidate how the enhancement of the exchange-energy density at a large reduced density gradient plays a critical role in obtaining accurate DFT description of weakly interacting systems.

TI Double ionization of H-2 by fast bare-ion collisions SO PHYSICAL REVIEW A LA English DT Article ID CLOSE-COUPLING CALCULATIONS; DOUBLE PHOTOIONIZATION; HYDROGEN MOLECULES; R-MATRIX; HELIUM; IMPACT; SINGLE AB A time-dependent close-coupling method is developed to treat the double ionization of H-2 by fast bare-ion collisions. At high incident energies, for which charge transfer to the projectile may be ignored, multipole expansions are made for the electron-electron and electron-projectile interactions in a fixed target nuclei coordinate system. The time-dependent Schrodinger equation for the six dimensional target electron wave function is reduced to a set of close-coupled equations on a four dimensional numerical lattice in (r(1), theta(1), r(2), theta(2)) center-of-mass spherical polar coordinates. Time-dependent close-coupling calculations are carried out for p+H-2 collisions at an incident energy of 1.0 MeV. The ratio of double to single ionization is found to be 0.3%, which is in reasonable agreement with experimental measurements. C1 [Pindzola, M. S.; Ludlow, J.

TI Photoelectron and Auger-electron angular distributions of fixed-in-space CO2 SO PHYSICAL REVIEW A LA English DT Article ID MOMENTUM SPECTROSCOPY; RECOIL-ION; MOLECULES; H-2 AB We report a kinematically complete experiment of carbon 1s photoionization of CO2 including Auger decay and fragmentation. By measuring in coincidence of CO2 C(1s) photoelectrons and ion fragments using synchrotron light at several energies above the C(1s) threshold, we determine photoelectron angular distributions as well as Auger-electron angular distributions with full solid angle in the molecular fixed frame. We confirm recent unexpected results showing an asymmetry of the photoelectron angular distribution along the molecular axis after ionization of the C(1s) orbital. Our high statistics and high resolution measurement unveils asymmetric features in the photoelectron angular distribution which change as a function of the kinetic energy release. This finding provides strong evidence that varying C-O bondlengths are the main cause for these asymmetries. The Auger-electron angular distributions do not show strong correlation with the photoelectrons. C1 [Sturm, F.

The optical and spin-relaxation properties of these samples were characterized using confocal microscopy, visible and infrared absorption, and optically detected magnetic resonance. The sample with the highest NV(-) concentration, approximately 16 ppm (2.8 x 10(18) cm(-3)), was prepared with no observable traces of neutrally charged vacancy defects. The effective transverse spin-relaxation time for this sample was T(2)* = 118 (48) ns, predominately limited by residual paramagnetic nitrogen which was determined to have a concentration of 49(7) ppm. Under ideal conditions, the shot-noise limited sensitivity is projected to be similar to 150 fT/root Hz for a 100 mu m-scale magnetometer based on this sample. Other samples with NV(-) concentrations from 0.007 to 12 ppm and effective relaxation times ranging from 27 to over 291 ns were prepared and characterized. C1 [Acosta, V. M.; Bauch, E.; Ledbetter, M.

TI Kinetically evolving irradiation-induced point defect clusters in UO2 by molecular dynamics simulation SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID URANIUM-DIOXIDE; DISPLACEMENT CASCADES; TRANSITION; OXIDES AB The evolution of irradiation-induced point defects in UO2 is captured in molecular dynamics simulations. The approach used circumvents their creation during the ballistic phase of a traditional collision-cascade molecular dynamics simulation but rather focuses on their kinetic evolution. The simulations reveal that in the absence of defects on the cation sublattice, the defects initially present on the anion sublattice recombine and annihilate completely during equilibration. However, in the simultaneous presence of defects on both sublattices, Schottky defects are formed, thereby sequestering the oxygen vacancies. The resulting excess oxygen interstitials form cuboctahedral clusters, whose existence has previously been identified experimentally but whose generation mechanism has not been determined. It is concluded that the cation sublattice is primarily responsible for the radiation tolerance or intolerance of the material.

We describe a model that bridges the two approaches by taking into account the thermodynamic probability to form small clusters by association of impurities, thereby extending the validity of the impurity model to higher concentrations. Since we express the alloy energetics in terms of pair and cluster binding energies there is no need for computationally intensive sampling over the full configuration space. The application to the Ga(1-x)In(x)P(1-y)N(y) highlights the importance of short-range ordering due to "small atom/large atom" correlation in such quaternary III-V alloys.

As the magnetic field is increased the resistivity increases, reaches a maximum at the metamagnetic critical field, and falls precipitously for fields just above the transition, while the amplitude of all measurable dHvA frequencies are significantly attenuated near the metamagnetic critical field. However, the dHvA frequencies and cyclotron masses are not substantially altered by the transition. In the low-field state, the resistivity is observed to increase toward low temperatures in a singular fashion, a behavior that is rapidly suppressed above the transition. Instead, in the high-field state, the resistivity monotonically increases with temperature with a dependence that is more singular than the iconic Fermi-liquid, temperature-squared behavior. Both the damping of the dHvA amplitudes and the increased resistivity near the metamagnetic critical field indicate an increased scattering rate for charge carriers consistent with critical fluctuation scattering in proximity to a phase transition. The dHvA amplitudes do not uniformly recover above the critical field, with some holelike orbits being entirely suppressed at high fields. These changes, taken as a whole, suggest that the metamagnetic transition in CeIrIn5 is associated with the polarization and localization of the heaviest of quasiparticles on the holelike Fermi surface.

Both compounds show a second order Neel transition above 30 K and a first-order spin reorientation transition below 10 K. HoFe3(BO3)(4) develops a spontaneous electrical polarization below the Neel temperature (T-N) which is diminished in external magnetic fields. No magnetic-field induced increase of the polarization could be observed in HoFe3(BO3)(4). In contrast, the solid solution Ho0.5Nd0.5Fe3(BO3)(4) exhibits both, a spontaneous polarization below T-N and a positive magnetoelectric effect at higher fields that extends to high temperatures. The superposition of spontaneous polarization, induced by the internal magnetic field in the ordered state, and the magnetoelectric polarizations due to the external field results in a complex behavior of the total polarization measured as a function of temperature and field.

We predict that this tetragonal phase orders antiferromagnetically and has an exceptionally high Neeacutel temperature T(N)approximate to 800 K, which makes it an ideal candidate for doping experiments and a potential parent of superconductors. The electronic structure is characterized by a charge-transfer gap of 2.7 eV whereas the magnetic properties are dominated by the antiferromagnetic Cu-O-Cu interactions along the nearest-neighbor [100] direction. In addition, we predict the second tetragonal CuO phase with a c/a ratio < 1 with a different antiferromagnetic ordering and a similar high T(N). We suggest that this phase could be synthesized by epitaxial growth. C1 [Chen, Xing-Qiu; Fu, C. L.] Oak Ridge Natl Lab, Mat Sci & Technol Div, Oak Ridge, TN 37831 USA.

The samples were characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM), transmission electron microscopy, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Surface segregation of Pt and PtSi formation at the NC surface due to the sample-preparation process is inferred from the XPS data. As compared to the bulk, pronounced modifications of the PDOS beyond the bulk cut-off energy are observed in bcc (57)Fe(0.8)Pt(0.2) (core)/PtSi(shell) NCs. By contrast, the PDOS of fcc (57)Fe(0.75)Pt(0.25) (core)/PtSi(shell) NCs retains features of bulk ordered Fe(3)Pt Invar alloys (presumably due to a thicker PtSi shell), in particular, the transverse-acoustic [110]TA(1) mode near 9 meV. Apparently, this mode is not affected by size effects. The existence of the [110]TA(1) phonon mode is a prerequisite for the persistence of Invar-related effects in Fe(3)Pt NCs. Important thermodynamic properties of the NCs are derived, such as the vibrational entropy per atom. C1 [Cuenya, B. Roldan; Croy, Jason R.; Ono, L.

TI Kinetics and relaxation of electroresistance in transition metal oxides: Model for resistive switching SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID AMORPHOUS-SILICON; DIFFUSION; INTERFACE; RESISTANCE AB The kinetics of electric-field-induced resistive switching across metal (Ag)-Pr0.7Ca0.3MnO3 interfaces has been investigated. The resistance hysteresis Delta R varies with the pulse amplitude V-0 roughly as a step function with existence of a threshold voltage V-t for a fixed switching pulses width T-w. On the other hand, the Delta R varies with the pulse width (T-w) as a two-stage sequence at a fixed V-0: an initial exponential rise with a time constant tau(S) approximate to 2 x 10(-7) s and a slow linearly increasing tail. The slow linear part is dominant only in the quasi-dc switch (pulse width similar to a few seconds) below V-t but negligibly small above it. The retentions of the Delta R corresponding to the two stages are also extremely different, indicating that different underlying processes are involved. The relaxation time (tau(R)) is 10(8) s (similar to year) or higher for the sub-mu s switching, in strong contrast with the total disappearance of the Delta R after a few days for subthreshold (V-0 << V-t) quasi-dc switch. Different mechanisms, therefore, dominate the two different stages. More results obtained from time dependence study and impedance spectroscopy suggest that defect creation/annihilation, such as broken bonds under field, is likely the mechanism for the sub-mu s switching and that a slow accumulative process (like diffusion) of defects may be responsible for the subthreshold quasi-dc switch. Many observations further suggest that the accumulative process is much more complicated than simple migration/diffusion of the pre-existing defects. C1 [Das, N.; Tsui, S.; Xue, Y. Y.; Wang, Y.

High-energy x-ray diffraction studies were performed on LiV2O4 single crystals to search for superstructure peaks or other evidence of spatial correlations in the arrangement of the crystal defects present in the lattice. Entire reciprocal lattice planes were mapped out with the help of synchrotron radiation. No noticeable differences in the x-ray diffraction data between a crystal with high magnetic defect concentration and a crystal with low magnetic defect concentration were found. This indicates the absence of any long-range periodicity or short-range correlations in the arrangements of the crystal/magnetic defects. C1 [Das, S.] Iowa State Univ, Ames Lab, Ames, IA 50011 USA.

This compound is currently being investigated as a potential injector of spin-polarized currents into germanium. Infrared measurements have been performed over a broad frequency (70-50000 cm(-1)) and temperature (10-300 K) range. From the complex optical conductivity sigma(omega), we extract the electron self-energy Sigma(omega). The calculation of Sigma(omega) is based on numerical algorithms for solution of systems of nonlinear equations. The obtained self-energy provides insight into electron correlations in Mn5Ge3. In particular, it reveals that charge carriers may be coupled to bosonic modes, possibly of magnetic origin. C1 [Dordevic, S. V.; Kohlman, L. W.] Univ Akron, Dept Phys, Akron, OH 44325 USA.

Our calculations correctly show hole localizations at neutral Li(Zn)(0) and Na(Zn)(0), which lead to the formation of small polarons as observed experimentally. This is in contrast to previous local-density and generalized gradient calculations that showed delocalized holes. The calculated localization energies are, however, still noticeably smaller than the available experimental values. Our analysis of the discrepancies suggests that further improvement of the theory and a refinement of the experimental values are both required.

TI Polarized photoluminescence from point emitters in ordered GaxIn1-xP SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID INTRINSIC QUANTUM DOTS; GAINP2; ALLOYS; GA0.52IN0.48P; (GAIN)P AB A wide-field microphotoluminescence study of ordered GaxIn1-xP reveals spatially isolated submicron emission centers that emit in a spectral band 20 meV below previously studied PL features. The density of these centers is correlated with the presence of sharp PL lines reported in the low-energy PL band. Polarization analysis shows that many centers are very highly linearly polarized, contrary to models of quantum disks aligned at antiphase boundaries normal to the ordering direction. Orientations of the linearly polarized centers are found in some cases to be highly aligned along specific crystal directions that are not simply related to ordering.

Scattering-type scanning near-field infrared microscopy and atomic force microscopy were used to explore the relationship between the nucleation of metallic regions and the topography in insulating VO2. We demonstrate that the IMT begins within 10 nm from grain boundaries and crevices by using mean curvature and statistical analysis. We also observe coexistence of insulating and metallic domains in a single crystalline grain that points to intrinsic inhomogeneity in VO2 due to competing electronic phases in the IMT regime.

In this paper, we demonstrate by simple models the possibility of cooling molecular junctions under applied bias, and discuss several mechanisms for such an effect. Our model is characterized by single electron tunneling between electrodes represented by free electron reservoirs through a system characterized by its electron levels, nuclear vibrations and their structures. We consider cooling mechanisms resulting from (a) cooling of one electrode surface by tunneling-induced depletion of high-energy electrons; (b) cooling by coherent sub resonance electronic transport analogous to atomic laser-induced cooling and (c) the incoherent analog of process (b)-cooling by driven activated transport. The non-equilibrium Green function formulation of junction transport is used in the first two cases, while a master equation approach is applied in the analysis of the third.

Relative intensities of the corelevels and their chemical shifts derived from binding energy changes are shown to give precise information on physicochemical properties and quality of the buried layers. Interface roughening, including kinetic properties such as the rate of alloying, and temperature effects on the processes can be analyzed quantitatively. Using HIKE, we have been able to precisely follow the deterioration of the multilayer structure at the atomic scale and observe the diffusion of the capping layer into the multilayer structure which in turn is found to lead to a segregation in the ternary system. This is of great importance for future research on multilayered systems of this kind. Our experimental data are supplemented by first-principles theoretical calculations of the core-level shifts for a ternary alloy to allow for modeling of the influence of capping materials on the chemical shifts.

Unlike the ab-plane conductivity, the c-axis conductivity is highly sensitive to superconducting fluctuations. From a single c-axis data set, we can clearly discern the opening of the pseudogap at T-*=185(15) K, the appearance of the superconducting fluctuations at a much lower temperature T-'=105(2) K, and the full transition to the superconducting state at the critical temperature T-c=94.3 K. Thus, with the present high sensitivity, we establish that the extent of the superconducting fluctuations is only about 10 K above T-c. C1 [Grbic, M.

TI Resonant inelastic x-ray scattering in electronically quasi-zero-dimensional CuB2O4 SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article DE band structure; copper compounds; X-ray scattering ID COPPER METABORATE AB We present a resonant inelastic scattering (RIXS) study using of CuB2O4, which contains a lattice of CuO4 plaquettes electronically isolated by B+3 ions. The observed Cu K-edge spectra show a small number of well-separated features, and the simple electronic structure of CuB2O4 allows us to explore RIXS phenomenology. We find a low-energy feature that cannot be attributed to the same charge-transfer excitation discussed in other cuprates and is likely a d -> d transition thought to be forbidden under common considerations of K-edge RIXS.

In this paper, we show that the combination of first-principles total-energy calculations with aberration-corrected HAADF-STEM experimental and simulated images can be used to overcome this problem. The application of this methodology to the analysis of dilute nitrides of GaAs points to the existence of a major proportion of (2N(As))(nn) in the alloy, which is a relatively stable configuration in GaAsN as revealed by our energetic calculations. Our study has allowed us to shed light in the effect of the local distortion of the lattice due to different configuration of atoms in HAADF-STEM imaging. C1 [Herrera, M.; Morgan, D. G.; Browning, N.

The 400 nm optical excitation shifts the Cu and O absorptions to lower energy, but does not change the integrated x-ray absorption significantly for either edge. The constant integrated x-ray absorption cross-section indicates that the conduction-band and valence-band edges have very similar Cu 3d and O 2p orbital contributions. The 2.1 eV optical band gap of Cu2O significantly exceeds the one eV shift in the Cu L-3- and O K-edges absorption edges induced by optical excitation, demonstrating the importance of core-hole excitonic effects and valence electron screening in the x-ray absorption process.

TI Role of K/Bi disorder in the electronic structure of beta-K2Bi8Se13 SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID TOTAL-ENERGY CALCULATIONS; AUGMENTED-WAVE METHOD; THERMOELECTRIC-MATERIALS; POTENTIAL MODEL; BASIS-SET; K2BI8-XSBXSE13; APPROXIMATION; ALLOYS; METALS AB We have carried out tunneling spectroscopy and first-principles studies for beta-K2Bi8Se13, a promising thermoelectric material with partially disordered mixed K/Bi sites. The tunneling data, obtained with a scanning tunneling microscope (STM), show that the system is a semiconductor with a band gap of similar to 0.4 eV and band-tail states near the valence-band top and the conduction-band bottom. First-principles calculations, on the other hand, show that beta-K2Bi8Se13 can be semimetallic or semiconducting depending on the arrangements of the K and Bi atoms in the mixed sites. The electronic structure of beta-K2Bi8Se13 near the band-gap region is largely determined by unbonded Se p states and states associated with strained bonds which are present due to K/Bi disorder and by the Bi p-Se p hybridization which tends to drive the system toward metallicity. Among the different K/Bi arrangements investigated, we have identified a structural model (quasidisordered structure) that is able to satisfactorily reproduce the atomic and electronic structures of beta-K2Bi8Se13; i.e., the local composition in the mixed channels as observed experimentally and the band gap and tails as seen in the STM measurements. We argue that transport properties of beta-K2Bi8Se13 can be qualitatively understood in terms of the electronic structure obtained in calculations using the above structural model.

TI Exchange-induced negative-U charge order in N-doped WO3: A spin-Peierls-like system SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID ELECTRON-PHONON SYSTEMS; PHASE-DIAGRAM; ENERGY; TRANSITION; METALS; MODEL AB An unconventional spin-Peierls-type distortion was found in a nonmagnetic atom N doped pseudo-one-dimensional WO3 system. The periodicity of the initial ferromagnetic WO3 : N is doubled in one direction, and the band gap opens up due to this distortion. The magnetic moment at the N site is asymmetric in the distorted system, and the interaction between the localized spin is very weak. We show that the large exchange interaction of the nitrogen 2p atomic orbital and the pseudo-one-dimensional W-O-W chain in monoclinic WO3 structure is the origin of this spin-Peierls-like transition that leads to the stabilization of an unusual negative-U charge-ordered system.

TI Antimony as an amphoteric dopant in lead telluride SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID DENSITY-OF-STATES; ELECTRONIC-STRUCTURE; PBTE; CHALCOGENIDES; ALLOYS; PBSE AB We elucidate the amphoteric nature of antimony as a dopant in PbTe. Band-structure calculations show that Sb substituting for Pb is a donor and that Sb on the Te site is an acceptor giving rise to a large excess density of states (DOS). Experimentally, in Te-rich Pb(1-x)Sb(x)Te samples, (125)Te NMR spectroscopy shows that Sb substitutes for Pb and transport data reveal that it then acts as a simple donor. In Pb-rich PbSb(x)Te(1-x) samples, (125)Te NMR shows that little Sb substitutes for Te when samples are prepared above 770 K and then quenched; (207)Pb NMR shows four types of charge carriers, but only a majority hole and a minority electron contribute to transport. Sb acts as an acceptor in PbSb(x)Te(1-x), but the large DOS calculated must correspond to a large concentration of localized holes and the Seebeck coefficient is not enhanced.

TI Evidence for nascent equilibrium nuclei as progenitors of anomalous transformation kinetics in a Pu-Ga alloy SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article DE gallium alloys; martensitic transformations; nucleation; plutonium alloys; solid-state phase transformations ID PHASE-TRANSFORMATIONS; DELTA-PLUTONIUM; MARTENSITIC-TRANSFORMATION; ELECTRONIC-STRUCTURE; NUCLEATION; SYSTEM AB By alloying Pu with Ga, the face-centered-cubic delta phase can be retained down to room temperature in a metstable configuration, which ultimately yields to chemical driving forces by undergoing the delta ->alpha(') isothermal martensitic transformation below M-s approximate to-100 degrees C. This transformation is found to exhibit anomalous transformation kinetics, the nature of which has remained elusive for over 30 years. Recently, a "conditioning" treatment-an isothermal hold above M-s-has been shown to dramatically affect the amount of alpha(') phase formed during the transformation. Herein, we report evidence that the conditioning treatment induces the lower C of the double-C curve and we furthermore implicate the classical nucleation of equilibrium phases as the underlying mechanism of the conditioning effect in Pu-Ga alloys. This mechanism should not be rigorously exclusive to plutonium alloys as it arises from the proximity of energies between the retained metastable phase and the low-energy equilibrium phases.

TI Magnetic properties of RFe2Zn20 and RCo2Zn20 (R=Y, Nd, Sm, Gd-Lu) SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID ITINERANT-ELECTRON METAMAGNETISM; RARE-EARTH; TRANSPORT-PROPERTIES; SPIN FLUCTUATIONS; CRITICAL-POINTS; SUSCEPTIBILITY; TEMPERATURE; CO; INTERMETALLICS; TIBE2 AB Magnetization, resistivity, and specific heat measurements were performed on solution-grown single crystals of RFe2Zn20 and RCo2Zn20 (R=Y, Nd, Sm, Gd-Lu). Whereas LuCo2Zn20 and YCo2Zn20 manifest unremarkable metallic behavior, LuFe2Zn20 and YFe2Zn20 display behaviors such as characteristic of nearly ferromagnetic Fermi liquids. When the well-defined 4f local moments (Gd3+-Tm3+) are embedded into this strongly polarizable host, they manifest enhanced ferromagnetic ordering and the values of T-C for RFe2Zn20 (R =Gd-Tm) scale with the de Gennes factor. In addition, data on the RFe2Zn20 compounds indicate a small crystal electric field (CEF) effect compared with the interaction energy scale. On the other hand, the local moment bearing members of RCo2Zn20 (R=Nd, Sm, Gd-Tm) manifest weak magnetic interactions and the magnetic properties for R=Dy-Tm members are strongly influenced by the CEF effect on the R ions. The magnetic anisotropy and specific heat data for the Co series were used to determine the CEF coefficient of R ion with its cubic point symmetry. These CEF coefficients, determined for the Co series, are consistent with the magnetic anisotropy and specific heat data for the Fe series, which indicates similar CEF effects for the Fe and Co series. Such analysis, combined with specific heat and resistivity data, indicates that for R=Tb-Ho, the CEF splitting scale is smaller than their TC values, whereas for ErFe2Zn20 and TmFe2Zn20 the 4f electrons lose part of their full IIund's rule ground state degeneracy above T-C. YbFe2Zn20 and YbCo2Zn20 manifest typical but distinct heavy fermion behaviors associated with different Kondo temperatures. C1 Iowa State Univ, Ames Lab, Ames, IA 50011 USA.

Here we show that this superatom can be magnetically doped by replacing the center Au atom with Cr, Mn, or Fe. We find that Cr- and Mn-doped clusters have an optimized magnetic moment of 5 Bohr magnetons while the Fe-doped cluster has an optimized magnetic moment of 3 Bohr magnetons. Although the dopant atom's local magnetic moment makes a major contribution to the total moment, the icosahedral Au(12) shell is also found to be significantly magnetized. Our work here provides a scenario of magnetic doping of a metal-cluster superatom which is protected by ligands and made by wet chemistry.

In the multiferroic state of AgCrO2 the triangular spin lattice of each CrO2 layer forms parallel chains with helical-spin order. The spin exchange interactions of AgCrO2 are strongly frustrated both within and between adjacent CuO2 layers, which gives rise to the observed helical-spin order. The observed ferroelectric polarization of AgCrO2 is not caused by individual helical-spin chains, but by the spiral-spin chain structures that propagate between the helical-spin chains. C1 [Kan, E.

TI Spin-polarized transport through a domain wall in magnetized graphene SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID ROOM-TEMPERATURE; HETEROEPITAXIAL GRAPHITE; BERRYS PHASE; THIN-FILM; SUPERLATTICES; SCATTERING; SURFACES; SINGLE; ORDER; FIELD AB Atomically thin two-dimensional layer of honeycomb crystalline carbon known as graphene is a promising system for electronics. At charge neutrality it has a pointlike Fermi surface, which is very sensitive to external potentials and can be easily doped with either electrons or holes. Zeeman magnetic field parallel to the graphene layer splits electron bands according to spin polarization and creates geometrically congruent circular Fermi surfaces of particle and hole type for spins down and up, respectively. Hence, a fully spin-polarized transport in both electron and hole channels could be realized, presenting an opportunity for developing graphene-based spintronic devices. In particular, if spin polarization is achieved by virtue of the proximity effect in graphene in contact with magnetic layer, a domain wall (DW) separating regions with opposite spin polarizations could act either as a spin flipper allowing controllable rotation of spin polarization of electric currents or as a spin filter (spin rectifier). Here we consider ballistic passage of spin-polarized charge carriers in magnetized graphene through such a DW and analyze different regimes of spin-dependent refraction and reflection as a function of chemical potential and the thickness of the DW.

We find a strong in-plane asymmetry of the electronic structure between directions along a and b axes. The saddle point of the antibonding band lies at a significantly higher energy in the a direction (pi, 0) than the b direction (0, pi), whereas the bonding band displays the opposite behavior. We demonstrate that the abnormal band shape is due to a strong asymmetry of the bilayer band splitting, likely caused by a nontrivial hybridization between the planes and chains. This asymmetry has an important implication for interpreting key properties of the Y-Ba-Cu-O family, especially the superconducting gap, transport, and results of inelastic neutron scattering.

We find that up to six H-2 molecules can bind to a Ca atom each with a desirable binding energy of similar to 0.2 eV/H-2. The hybridization of the empty Ca 3d orbitals with the H-2 sigma orbitals contributes to the H-2 binding, and Ca clustering is suppressed by preferential binding of Ca atoms to doped boron and defect sites dispersed on carbon nanotubes. We also show that individual Ca-decorated B-doped CNTs with a concentration of similar to 6 at. % B doping can reach the gravimetric capacity of similar to 5 wt. % hydrogen.

TI Electronic inhomogeneity and Ag:Sb imbalance of Ag1-yPb18Sb1+zTe20 high-performance thermoelectrics elucidated by Te-125 and Pb-207 NMR SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID HIGH FIGURE; PBTE; AGPBMSBTE2+M; TEMPERATURE; PB1-XSNXTE; ARTIFACTS; MERIT; HEAT AB Using magic-angle spinning Te-125 and Pb-207 NMR, we have discovered the presence of two phases of approximately tenfold different free-electron concentration, n, in high-performance thermoelectrics Ag1-yPb18Sb1+zTe20 ("LAST-18"), proven by pairs of Knight-shifted NMR peaks and biexponential spin-lattice relaxation. The ratio of the phases is typically 2:1 with n approximate to 2 x 10(19) cm(-3) and 0.2 x 10(19) cm(-3), respectively, determined from the spin-lattice relaxation times. Te-125 NMR spectra show that both phases contain similar concentrations of Sb. The low-n component is assigned to Ag-rich regions with Ag-Sb pairing (but not AgSbTe2), the dominant high-n component to PbTe:Sb resulting from the excess of Sb relative to Ag. The electronic inhomogeneity observed here must be considered in the search for a better understanding of high-performance thermoelectric materials. C1 [Levin, E. M.; Cook, B.

TI Electron interferometry in the quantum Hall regime: Aharonov-Bohm effect of interacting electrons SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID ELECTROMAGNETIC POTENTIALS; ANTIDOT AB An apparent h/fe Aharonov-Bohm flux period, where f is an integer, has been reported in coherent quantum Hall devices. Such subperiod is not expected for noninteracting electrons and thus is thought to result from interelectron Coulomb interaction. Here we report experiments in a Fabry-Perot interferometer comprised of two wide constrictions enclosing an electron island. By carefully tuning the constriction front gates, we find a regime where interference oscillations with period h/2e persist throughout the transition between the integer quantum Hall plateaus 2 and 3, including half-filling. In a large quantum Hall sample, a transition between integer plateaus occurs near half-filling, where the bulk of the sample becomes delocalized and thus dissipative bulk current flows between the counterpropagating edges ("backscattering"). In a quantum Hall constriction, where conductance is due to electron tunneling, a transition between forward and backscattering is expected near the half-filling. In our experiment, neither period nor amplitude of the oscillations show a discontinuity at half-filling, indicating that only one interference path exists throughout the transition. We also present experiments and an analysis of the front-gate dependence of the phase of the oscillations. The results point to a single physical mechanism of the observed conductance oscillations: Aharonov-Bohm interference of interacting electrons in quantum Hall regime. C1 [Lin, Ping V.; Goldman, V.

The TDO measurements show not only ground-state level crossings (as can also be observed in low-temperature dc magnetization measurements) but also clear evidence of crossings between certain excited energy levels. These TDO results are in excellent agreement with our theoretical predictions for a Heisenberg Hamiltonian and are further confirmed by our INS measurements. Our present findings demonstrate that the TDO technique is a valuable magnetic spectroscopic tool for studying magnetic molecules, and that the QMC method is a valuable tool for predicting properties of computationally demanding systems such as Cr12Cu2.

In this Rapid Communication we show that these arguments do not hold for certain nonsymmorphic superconductors. Specifically, we demonstrate that when the underlying crystal has a twofold screw axis, half of the odd-parity representations vanish on the Brillouin-zone face perpendicular to this axis. Many unconventional superconductors have nonsymmorphic space groups, and we discuss implications for several materials, including UPt3, UBe13, Li2Pt3B, and Na4Ir3O8. C1 [Micklitz, T.; Norman, M.

Stable Coulomb-blockade behavior showing single-period conductance oscillations that are consistent with a lithographically defined quantum dot is exhibited in several MOS quantum dots with an open-lateral quantum-dot geometry. Decreases in mobility and increases in charge defect densities (i.e., interface traps and fixed-oxide charge) are measured for critical process steps, and we correlate low disorder behavior with a quantitative defect density. This work provides quantitative guidance that has not been previously established about defect densities and their role in gated Si quantum dots. These devices make use of a double-layer gate stack in which many regions, including the critical gate oxide, were fabricated in a fully qualified complementary metal-oxide semiconductor facility.

TI Development of the heavy-fermion state in Ce2IrIn8 and the effects of Ce dilution in (Ce1-xLax)(2)IrIn8 SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID CECU2SI2; SYSTEM; IR; RH AB We report a study of muon Knight shifts to investigate the formation of the heavy-fermion state in single crystals of (Ce1-xLax)(2)IrIn8. Two different kinds of Knight-shift anomalies (deviations from a linear relation between the Knight shift and the susceptibility) are found: (1) a high-temperature effect arising from depopulation of crystalline electric field levels with temperature, and (2) a lower-temperature anomaly arising from the onset of the heavy-fermion state below a characteristic temperature T*, in agreement with the "two-fluid" model of heavy-fermion formation. In Ce2IrIn8, we find T-c*= 20.0(6) K and T-a*= 15.2(1.2) K for applied field H parallel to c axis and H parallel to a axis, respectively. For the Ce diluted systems (Ce1-xLax)(2)IrIn8, x= 0.1, 0.25, 0.50, 0.70, and 0.90, T* decreases linearly for x <= 0.5, reaching zero near x=0.7, indicating the reduction in intersite f-spin correlations with Ce dilution. A comparison with nuclear magnetic-resonance measurements of Knight-shift anomalies in several other heavy-fermion compounds suggests that the observed small anisotropy in T* may be induced by the applied field, and that T* may be inherently isotropic, even in highly anisotropic materials.

We measure the dielectric functions of (GeTe, Sb2Te3) pseudobinary thin films-GeTe, Ge2Sb2Te5, Ge1Sb2Te4, Ge1Sb4Te7, and Sb2Te3-by using spectroscopic ellipsometry. We anneal the thin films at various temperatures. According to x-ray diffraction, the as-grown thin films are amorphous and the annealed films have metastable and stable crystalline phases. By using standard critical-point model, we obtain the accurate values of the energy gap of the amorphous phase as well as the critical-point energies of the metastable and stable crystalline thin films. The optical gap (indirect band gap) energy of the amorphous (crystalline) thin films is estimated by the equation, (alpha E)(1/2)= A(E-E-opt(ind)). As the Sb-to-Ge atomic ratio increases, the optical (band) gap energy of amorphous) crystalline) phase decreases. Standard critical-point model analysis shows several higher band gaps. The electronic band structures, the dielectric functions, and the absorption coefficients of the thin films are calculated by using density functional theory (DFT) and are compared to the measured ones. The bandstructure calculations show in stable phase that GeTe, Ge2Sb2Te5, and Ge1Sb2Te4 have indirect gap whereas Ge1Sb4Te7 and Sb2Te3 have direct gap. The band gaps of metastable phase have similar behavior. The measured indirect band-gap energies are compared to those of the electronic band-structure calculations. The experimental critical-point energies of the pseudobinary compounds, especially GeTe, match well to those of theoretical calculation. The DFT calculations show that the stable and metastable phases have similar dielectric functions and absorption properties, etc., because of the similarity between the lowest-energy crystal structures for both the stable and metastable phases. However, experimental results show that there exist important differences between those of the stable and metastable phases. We discuss the discrepancy in terms of insufficient ordering of vacancies in the real materials of metastable phase.

A. Reboredo, R. Q. Hood, and P. R. C. Kent, Phys. Rev. B 79, 195117 (2009)] is extended to the calculation of excited states. The formalism is based on an excited-state fixed-node approximation and the mixed estimator of the excited-state probability density. The fixed-node ground-state wave-functions of inequivalent nodal pockets are found simultaneously using a recursive approach. The decay of the wave-function into lower-energy states is prevented using two methods: (i) the projection of the improved trial-wave function into previously calculated eigenstates is removed; and (ii) the reference energy for each nodal pocket is adjusted in order to create a kink in the global fixed-node wave-function, which, when locally smoothed, increases the volume of the higher-energy pockets at the expense of the lower-energy ones until the energies of every pocket become equal. This reference energy method is designed to find nodal structures that are local minima for arbitrary fluctuations of the nodes within a given nodal topology. It is demonstrated in a model system that the algorithm converges to many-body eigenstates in bosonic and fermionic cases. C1 Oak Ridge Natl Lab, Div Mat Sci & Technol, Oak Ridge, TN 37831 USA.

We show that tunneling luminescence from the dot is excited by coupling with the nonradiative plasmon mode oscillating at the metallic tunneling gap formed during the STM operation. This approach to the SP excitation reveals aspects of the SP-QD coupling not accessible to the more conventional optical excitation of SPs. In the STM, luminescence from the dot is observed when and only when the SP is in resonance with the fundamental transition of the dot. The tunneling luminescence spectrum also suggests that excited SP-QD hybrid states can participate in the excitation of QD luminescence. Not only the SP excitation regulates the QD luminescence but the presence of the dot at the tunneling gap imposes restrictions to the SP that can be excited in the STM, in which the SP cannot exceed the energy of the fundamental transition of the dot. The superior SP-QD coupling observed in the STM is due to the tunneling gap acting as a tunable plasmonic resonator in which the dot is fully immersed.

Jin, Rongying Sha, Hao Zhang, Jiandi TI Muon spin rotation and relaxation study of Ba2CoO4 SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article AB A positive muon spin rotation and relaxation (mu+SR) experiment on a single crystal of Ba2CoO4 indicates the existence of an antiferromagnetic (AF) transition occurring at T-N approximate to 24 K. Weak transverse field measurements show that the paramagnetic volume fraction of the sample decreases rapidly at the magnetic transition, indicating a bulk effect which cannot be due to the presence of impurities. Zero-field measurements reveal the presence of a magnetically ordered state below T-N with at least three crystallographically inequivalent muon sites. The results are compared to recent magnetic susceptibility and neutron measurements. Of the two AF spin structures proposed to explain recent neutron experiments, the mu+SR results clearly exclude the one involving AF order along the c axis while supporting that with AF order in the ab plane.

The temperature dependences of the shear moduli of crystalline Pd40Cu40P20 and Pd50Cu50 are well described by C(T)=C(0)-BT2+Delta C-Lat(T), where BT2 gives the electronic contribution and Delta C-Lat(T) is the contribution due to the anharmonicity of the lattice vibrations. The temperature dependence of the shear modulus of amorphous Pd40Cu40P20 includes an additional contribution, Delta C-E(T), which becomes dominant for T < 20 K: C(T)=C(0)-BT2+Delta C-Lat(T)+Delta C-E(T). The Delta C-E(T) contribution can be explained by the presence of a small number of low-frequency, highly anharmonic vibrational modes, which we characterize as Einstein oscillators with temperature theta(E)approximate to 12 K and Gruumlneisen parameter gamma(C')(E)2. Theory and computer modeling suggest that these modes involve the collective vibration of stringlike arrays of atoms. C1 [Safarik, D. J.; Schwarz, R.

A two-leg spin-1/2 ladder model, with J(perpendicular to) = (1.09 +/- 0.01) meV and J(parallel to) = (0.296 +/- 0.005) meV, accurately describes the data. The experimental limit on the effective interladder exchange constant is vertical bar J(int)(eff)vertical bar less than or similar to 0.006 meV, and the limit on total diagonal, intraladder exchange is vertical bar J(F)+J(F')vertical bar <= 0.1 meV. Including the effects of copper to bromide covalent spin transfer on the magnetic form factor, the experimental ratios of intraladder bond energies are consistent with the predictions of continuous unitary transformation.

TI Compact planar far-field superlens based on anisotropic left-handed metamaterials SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID NEGATIVE REFRACTIVE-INDEX; PHOTONIC METAMATERIALS; OPTICAL HYPERLENS; MEDIA AB Pendry's perfect lens has spurred intense interest for its practical realization at visible frequencies. However, fabrication of low-loss isotropic left-handed metamaterials is a current challenge. In this work, we theoretically show that under specific conditions anisotropic metamaterial slabs can emulate Pendry's perfect-lens phenomenon on a plane. Geometric optics leads to a new lens formula for this special anisotropic metamaterial superlens, which allows significant shrinkage of the metamaterial slab thickness for a certain range of far-field operation. Conversely, such anisotropic metamaterial superlens with the same thickness as its isotropic analog can operate for much larger distances between object and lens. We present numerical simulations which confirm our theoretical calculations. In particular, we find subdiffraction focusing that rivals the perfect isotropic negative-index metamaterial lens performance and obeys the new lens formula as predicted. In addition, we demonstrate that it is possible to attain far-field superfocusing with a metamaterial slab as thin as half the free-space wavelength. We believe this work will inspire new anisotropic metamaterial designs and opens a promising route for the realization of compact far-field superlenses in the visible regime.

TI Magnetic order in BaMn2As2 from neutron diffraction measurements SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID BA; SUPERCONDUCTIVITY; CRYSTAL; A=SR; SB AB Neutron diffraction measurements have been performed on a powder sample of BaMn2As2 over the temperature T range from 10 to 675 K. These measurements demonstrate that this compound exhibits collinear antiferromagnetic ordering below the Neel temperature T-N=625(1) K. The ordered moment mu = 3.88(4)mu(B)/Mn at T = 10 K is oriented along the c axis and the magnetic structure is G type, with all nearest-neighbor Mn moments antiferromagnetically aligned. The value of the ordered moment indicates that the oxidation state of Mn is Mn2+ with a high spin S=5/2. The T dependence of mu suggests that the magnetic transition is second order in nature. In contrast to the closely related AFe(2)As(2) (A = Ca, Sr, Ba, and Eu) compounds, no structural distortion is observed in the magnetically ordered state of BaMn2As2. Our results indicate that while next-nearest-neighbor interactions are important in the AFe(2)As(2) materials, nearest-neighbor interactions are dominant in BaMn2As2.

While the correlated band structure is substantially renormalized there is only little transfer of spectral weight. The computed k-integrated and k-resolved spectral functions are in good agreement with photoemission spectroscopy (PES) and angular resolved PES experiments. Making use of a general classification scheme for the strength of electronic correlations we conclude that BaFe2As2 is a moderately correlated system. C1 [Skornyakov, S. L.; Efremov, A.

Rate and character of the grain growth during postannealing at 1050 degrees C are found to be strongly dependent on the type of the epitaxial substrate. Films deposited on YSZ exhibit signatures of normal grain growth, which stagnated after the lateral grain size reaches 40 nm, consistent with the grain-boundary pinning by the thermal grooving. In contrast, when r-cut sapphire substrate was used, abnormal (secondary) grain growth is observed. A small population of grains grow to well over 100 nm consuming smaller, <10 nm, grains, thus forming well-defined >100 nm large (001) terminations and rendering the sample single-crystalline quality. The grain growth is accompanied by reduction in lateral rms strain, resulting in a universal grain size-rms strain dependence. Analysis of the AFM and x-ray diffraction data leads to the conclusion that bimodal initial grain population consisting of grains with very different sizes is responsible for initiation of the abnormal growth in (001) CeO(2) films on r-cut sapphire. Due to different surface chemistry, when a YSZ substrate is used, the initial grain distribution is monomodal, therefore only normal growth is active. We demonstrate that a 2.2 degrees miscut of the sapphire substrate eliminates the large-grain population, thus suppressing abnormal grain growth. It is concluded that utilization of abnormal grain growth is a promising way for synthesis of large (001) ceria terminations.

Here, we show that similar dramatic improvements in the linewidths of electronic transitions can be achieved with the two chalcogens sulfur and selenium in Si-28. The S+ and Se+ 1s (T-2) transitions exhibit a full width at half maximum of only 0.008 cm(-1) for the Gamma(7) component-more than one order of magnitude sharper than in natural silicon and a factor of 1.5 narrower than the width of the sharpest shallow impurity transition in Si-28. Hence they are the narrowest lines ever seen for impurity states in silicon. Fine structure is revealed in the absorption spectrum of the Se double donor and the Se-77(+) 1s (T-2) Gamma(7) transition shows a splitting due to a hyperfine coupling with the I=1/2 nuclear spin. Under an applied magnetic field, the electronic, and nuclear spins can be individually determined with potential applications in quantum computing. C1 [Steger, M.; Yang, A.; Thewalt, M. L.

These show that the material is a conventional electron-phonon superconductor with intermediate coupling. There are large contributions to the coupling by two low-frequency C nonbond-stretching modes, one of which has strong Kohn anomalies. Since LaNiC2 lacks inversion symmetry, the pairing is of dominant s-wave type with some mixture of p-wave character. This will give exponential decay in the specific heat.

The cluster expansion accounts for configurational degrees of freedom associated with As dimer adsorption/desorption as well as Ga-In disorder in subsurface cation sites. We analyze the alpha 2(2 x 4)-beta 2(2 x 4) transition at finite temperature and directly examine the entropy and cation-site filling in both reconstructions. A compositionally dependent "zigzag" ordering of dimers in the alpha 2(2 x 4) is predicted as well as a hybrid alpha 2(2 x 4)-beta 2(2 x 4) reconstruction, found to be stable in a reasonably large chemical-potential range. The hybrid dimer ordering drives pronounced nanoscale composition modulation of surface cations.

Our work shows that the spin exchange interactions are frustrated within each zigzag chain of Mn2+ ions along the c direction and between such chains of Mn2+ ions along the a direction. This explains the occurrence of a spiral-spin order along the c and a directions in the incommensurate magnetic state AF2, and that of a up arrow up arrow down arrow down arrow spin order along the c and a directions in the commensurate magnetic state AF1. The ferroelectric polarization of MnWO4 in the spiral-spin state AF2 was examined by performing Berry phase calculations for a model superstructure to find that the ferroelectric polarization occurs along the b direction, in agreement with experiment.

Zunger, Alex TI Predicting stable stoichiometries of compounds via evolutionary global space-group optimization SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article DE aluminium alloys; crystal structure; density functional theory; phase diagrams; scandium alloys; space groups; stoichiometry ID METALS AB Whereas the Daltonian atom-to-atom ratios in ordinary molecules are well understood via the traditional theory of valence, the naturally occurring stoichiometries in intermetallic compounds A(p)B(q), as revealed by phase-diagram compilations, are often surprising. Even equal-valence elements A and B give rise to unequal (p,q) stoichiometries, e.g., the 1:2, 2:1, and 3:1 ratios in Al(p)Sc(q). Moreover, sometimes different stoichiometries are associated with different lattice types and hence rather different physical properties. Here, we extend the fixed-composition global space-group optimization (GSGO) approach used to predict, via density-functional calculations, fixed-composition lattice types [G. Trimarchi and A. Zunger, J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 20, 295212 (2008)] to identify simultaneously all the minimum-energy lattice types throughout the composition range. Starting from randomly selected lattice vectors, atomic positions and stoichiometries, we construct the T=0 "convex hull" of energy vs composition. Rather than repeat a set of GSGO searches over a fixed list of stoichiometries, we minimize the distance to the convex hull. This approach is far more efficient than the former one as a single evolutionary search sequence simultaneously identifies the lowest-energy structures at each composition and among these it selects those that are ground states. For Al-Sc we correctly identify the stable stoichiometries and relative structure types: AlSc(2)-B8(2), AlSc-B2, and Al(2)Sc-C15 in the N(at)=6 periodic cells, and Al(2)Sc(6)-D0(19), AlSc-B2, and Al(3)Sc-L1(0) in the N(at)=8 periodic cells. This extended evolutionary GSGO algorithm represents a step toward a fully ab initio materials synthesis, where compounds are predicted starting from sole knowledge of the chemical species of the constituents.

This regime of oxygen-reduction process is hard to be understood according to the previous knowledge of this material. In addition, a remarkable relaxation of T-c over time was observed at room temperature, indicating that the variation in T-c is closely related to the rearrangement of oxygen in the sample. In combination with previous studies, it can be concluded that, in the whole process of oxygen reduction applied on Pr0.88LaCe0.12CuO4 +/-delta, although the strength of antiferromagnetic (fluctuation) correlations does play a role, T-c is dominated by the disorder effect of CuO2 plane either on copper sites or oxygen sites, which leads to a strong depairing effect.

TI Short-range incommensurate magnetic order near the superconducting phase boundary in Fe(1+delta)Te(1-x)Sex SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID SPIN-DENSITY-WAVE; 43 K; LAO1-XFXFEAS; SMFEASO1-XFX; COEXISTENCE; COMPOUND; DIAGRAM AB We performed elastic neutron-scattering and magnetization measurements on Fe1.07Te0.75Se0.25 and FeTe0.7Se0.3. Short-range incommensurate magnetic order is observed in both samples. In the former sample with higher Fe content, a broad magnetic peak appears around (0.46,0,0.5) at low temperature, while in FeTe0.7Se0.3, the broad magnetic peak is found to be closer to the antiferromagnetic (AFM) wave vector (0.5,0,0.5). The incommensurate peaks are only observed on one side of the AFM wave vector for both samples, which can be modeled in terms of an imbalance of ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic correlations between nearest-neighbor spins. We also find that with higher Se (and lower Fe) concentration, the magnetic order becomes weaker while the superconducting temperature and volume increase.

TI Muon spin rotation measurement of the magnetic field penetration depth in Ba(Fe0.926Co0.074)(2)As-2: Evidence for multiple superconducting gaps SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article DE barium compounds; cobalt compounds; flux-line lattice; Fourier transforms; Ginzburg-Landau theory; high-temperature superconductors; iron compounds; muon probes; penetration depth (superconductivity); superconducting energy gap ID VORTEX CORES; EXCITATIONS AB We have performed transverse field muon spin rotation measurements of single crystals of Ba(Fe0.926Co0.074)(2)As-2 with the applied magnetic field along the c direction. Fourier transforms of the measured spectra reveal an anisotropic line-shape characteristic of an Abrikosov vortex lattice. We have fit the mu SR spectra to a microscopic model in terms of the penetration depth lambda and the Ginzburg-Landau parameter kappa. We find that as a function of temperature, the penetration depth varies more rapidly than in standard weak-coupled BCS theory. For this reason we first fit the temperature dependence to a power law where the power varies from 1.6 to 2.2 as the field changes from 0.02 to 0.1 T. Due to the surprisingly strong field dependence of the power and the superfluid density we proceeded to fit the temperature dependence to a two-gap model, where the size of the two gaps is field independent. From this model, we obtained gaps of 2 Delta(1)=3.77k(B)T(C) and 2 Delta(2)=1.57k(B)T(C), corresponding to roughly 6 and 3 meV, respectively. C1 [Williams, T. J.; Aczel, A. A.; Goko, T.; Luke, G.

TI Ordered ground state wurtzite alloys from zinc-blende parent compounds SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID TOTAL-ENERGY CALCULATIONS; AUGMENTED-WAVE METHOD; 1ST-PRINCIPLES CALCULATION; SEMICONDUCTOR ALLOYS; PHASE-DIAGRAMS; BASIS-SET; TRANSITION; NANOWIRES; GAN; POLYTYPISM AB The ground state structures of the A(x)B(1-x)C wurtzite (WZ) alloys with x=0.25, 0.5, and 0.75 are revealed by a ground state search using the valence-force field model and density-functional theory total-energy calculations. It is shown that the ground state WZ alloy always has a lower strain energy and formation enthalpy than the corresponding zinc-blende (ZB) alloy. Therefore, we propose that the WZ phase can be stabilized through alloying. This idea is supported by the fact that the WZ AlP0.5Sb0.5, AlP0.75Sb0.25, ZnS0.5Te0.5, and ZnS0.75Te0.25 alloys in the lowest-energy structures are more stable than the corresponding ZB alloys. In this example, the alloy adopts a structure distinct from both parent phases. C1 [Xiang, H. J.; Wei, Su-Huai] Natl Renewable Energy Lab, Golden, CO 80401 USA. [Chen, Shiyou; Gong, X.

To describe the charge transfer across the interface, the long-range Coulomb interaction is taken into account at the mean-field level, by self-consistently solving the Poisson's equation. The calculations are carried out numerically on finite clusters. We find that the state stabilized near the interface of the heterostructure is similar to the state of the bulk compound (R,A)MO at electronic density close to 0.5. For instance, a charge and orbitally ordered CE state is found at the interface if the corresponding bulk (R,A)MO material is a narrow-to-intermediate bandwidth manganite. But instead the interface regime accommodates an A-type antiferromagnetic state with a uniform x(2) - y(2) orbital order, if the bulk (R,A)MO corresponds to a wide bandwidth manganite. We argue that these results explain some of the properties of long-period (RMO)(m)/(AMO)(n) superlattices, such as (PrMnO3)(m)/(CaMnO3)(n) and (LaMnO3)(m)/(SrMnO3)(n). We also remark that the intermediate states in between the actual interface and the bulklike regimes of the heterostructure are dependent on the bandwidth and the screening of the Coulomb interaction. In these regions of the heterostructures, states are found that do not have an analog in experimentally known bulk phase diagrams. These new states of the heterostructures provide a natural interpolation between magnetically ordered states that are stable in the bulk at different electronic densities.

TI Instability of two-dimensional graphene: Breaking sp(2) bonds with soft x rays SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID RAMAN-SPECTROSCOPY; FINE-STRUCTURE; GRAPHITE; MICROSCOPY; DISORDER; SYSTEMS; CARBON; DAMAGE AB We study the stability of various kinds of graphene samples under soft x-ray irradiation. Our results show that in single-layer exfoliated graphene (a closer analog to two-dimensional material), the in-plane carbon-carbon bonds are unstable under x-ray irradiation, resulting in nanocrystalline structures. As the interaction along the third dimension increases by increasing the number of graphene layers or through the interaction with the substrate (epitaxial graphene), the effect of x-ray irradiation decreases and eventually becomes negligible for graphite and epitaxial graphene. Our results demonstrate the importance of the interaction along the third dimension in stabilizing the long range in-plane carbon-carbon bonding, and suggest the possibility of using x-ray to pattern graphene nanostructures in exfoliated graphene.

The two kinds of ferrites show different magnetic properties, e.g., coercivity and magnetization. Anomalous Hall effect and positive magnetoresistance have been observed. Our study suggests a ferrimagnet/semiconductor hybrid system for potential applications in magnetoelectronics. This hybrid system can be tuned by selecting different transition-metal ions (from Mn to Zn) to obtain various magnetic and electronic properties.

CA HARP Collaboration TI Forward production of charged pions with incident protons on nuclear targets at the CERN Proton Synchrotron SO PHYSICAL REVIEW C LA English DT Article ID 450 GEV/C PROTONS; PRODUCTION CROSS-SECTIONS; PARTICLE PRODUCTION; POSITIVE PIONS; BERYLLIUM; COLLISIONS; PI(+/-); TRACK; HARP; DETECTOR AB Measurements of the double-differential pi(+/-) production cross section in the range of momentum 0.5 <= p <= 8.0 GeV/c and angle 0.025 <= theta <= 0.25 rad in collisions of protons on beryllium, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, aluminum, copper, tin, tantalum, and lead are presented. The data were taken with the large-acceptance HAdRon Production (HARP) detector in the T9 beamline of the CERN Proton Synchrotron. Incident particles were identified by an elaborate system of beam detectors. Thin targets of 5% of a nuclear interaction length were used. The tracking and identification of the produced particles were performed using the forward system of the HARP experiment. Results are obtained for the double-differential cross sections d(2)sigma s/dp d Omega mainly at four incident proton beam momenta (3, 5, 8, and 12 GeV/c). Measurements are compared with the GEANT4 and MARS Monte Carlo generators. A global paametrization is provided as an approximation of all the collected datasets, which can serve as a tool for quick yield estimates.

CA NEMO Collaboration TI Measurement of the double-beta decay half-life of Nd-150 and search for neutrinoless decay modes with the NEMO-3 detector SO PHYSICAL REVIEW C LA English DT Article ID NUCLEAR-MATRIX ELEMENTS; EXCITED-STATES; MAJORON; MO-100 AB The half-life for double-beta decay of Nd-150 has been measured by the NEMO-3 experiment at the Modane Underground Laboratory. Using 924.7 days of data recorded with 36.55 g of Nd-150, we measured the half-life for 2 nu beta beta decay to be T-1/2(2 nu) = (9.11(-0.22)(+0.25)(stat.) +/- 0.63(syst.)) x 10(18) yr. The observed limit on the half-life for neutrinoless double-beta decay is found to be T-1/2(0 nu) > 1.8 x 10(22) yr at 90% confidence level. This translates into a limit on the effective Majorana neutrino mass of < m(nu)> < 4.0-6.3 eV if the nuclear deformation is taken into account. We also set limits on models involving Majoron emission, right-handed currents, and transitions to excited states.

The so-called Coulomb corrections lead to an even greater percentage decrease of mu(+)mu(-) production from perturbation theory than the corresponding decrease for e(+)e(-) pair production. Unlike the e(+)e(-) case, the finite charge distribution of the ions ( form factor) and the necessary subtraction of impact parameters with matter overlap are significant effects in calculation an observable ultraperipheral mu(+)mu(-) total cross section.

TI Regularities and symmetries of subsets of collective 0(+) states SO PHYSICAL REVIEW C LA English DT Article ID INTERACTING-BOSON MODEL; CRITICAL-POINT SYMMETRY; QUANTUM PHASE-TRANSITIONS; NUCLEI; VERSION AB The energies of subsets of excited 0(+) states in geometric collective models are investigated and found to exhibit intriguing regularities. In models with an infinite square well potential, it is found that a single formula, dependent on only the number of dimensions, describes a subset of 0(+) states. The same behavior of a subset of 0(+) states is seen in the large boson number limit of the interacting boson approximation (IBA) model near the critical point of a first-order phase transition, in contrast to the fact that these 0(+) state energies exhibit a harmonic behavior in all three limiting symmetries of the IBA. Finally, the observed regularities in 0(+) energies are analyzed in terms of the underlying group theoretical framework of the different models.

The absolute lifetimes of the excited levels were determined from simultaneous measurements of manganese and aluminum. In this approach, the precisely known aluminum state serves as a means to normalize the results. Our findings differ from the evaluated level lifetimes in the Evaluated Nuclear Structure Data File (ENSDF), but agree with earlier nuclear resonance fluorescence measurements. C1 [Caggiano, J.

TI Toward an experimentally determined Al-26(m)(p,gamma)Si-27 reaction rate in ONe novae SO PHYSICAL REVIEW C LA English DT Article ID PROTON THRESHOLD STATES; GALACTIC AL-26; SI-27; DECAYS; GRAINS AB Strong evidence of the nucleosynthesis of Galactic Al-26 has been found through measurements involving excesses in Mg-26 from the decay of Al-26 in meteoritic inclusions and the 1.809-MeV gamma-ray line detected by satellites such as CGRO and INTEGRAL. Several sites for the production of Al-26 have been suggested, including ONe novae. Destruction of Al-26 in ONe novae is possible via the reactions Al-26(g)(p,gamma)Si-27 and Al-26(m)(p,gamma)Si-27. In the present work, resonance parameters for the Al-26(m)(p,gamma)Si-27 reaction have been determined via studies of the Al-27(He-3,t)Si-27*(p)Al-26(m) and Si-28(He-3,alpha)Si-27*(p)Al-26(m) reactions. Several new Al-26(m) + p resonances have been discovered within 1 MeV above the proton threshold of 7.691 MeV. Excitation energies and proton-branching ratios for those and previously known states are reported. C1 [Deibel, C. M.; Clark, J. A.; Lewis, R.; Parikh, A.; Parker, P.

CA CLAS Collaboration TI Beam spin asymmetries in deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) with CLAS at 4.8 GeV SO PHYSICAL REVIEW C LA English DT Article ID PARTON DISTRIBUTIONS; NUCLEON; MESONS AB We report measurements of the beam spin asymmetry in deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) at an electron beam energy of 4.8 GeV using the CLAS detector at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. The DVCS beam spin asymmetry has been measured in a wide range of kinematics, 1.0 < Q(2) < 2.8 (GeV/c)(2), 0.12 < x(B) < 0.48, and 0.1 < -t < 0.8 (GeV/c)(2), using the reaction (e) over right arrow -> e'pX. The number of H(e, e'gamma p) and H(e, e'pi(0)p) events are separated in each (Q(2), x(B), t) bin by a fit to the line shape of the H(e, e'p) X M(x)(2) distribution. The validity of the method was studied in detail using experimental and simulated data. It was shown that with the achieved missing mass squared resolution and the available statistics, the separation of DVCS-Bethe-Heitler and pi(0) events can reliably be done with less than 5% uncertainty. Also, the Q(2) and t dependences of the sin phi moments of the asymmetry are extracted and compared with theoretical calculations. C1 [Gavalian, G.; Holtrop, M.; Calarco, J.

The targets were prepared by evaporation of 99.4% isotopically enriched Te-120 on aluminum and carbon backing foils, and bombarded with proton beams provided by the FN tandem accelerator at the University of Notre Dame. The cross sections and S factors were deduced from the observed gamma ray activity, which was detected off-line by two Clover HPGe detectors mounted in close geometry. The results are presented and compared with the predictions of statistical model calculations using the codes NON-SMOKER and TALYS. C1 [Guray, R.

TI High-spin states in Rb-91,Rb-92,Rb-93 and Pm-155,Pm-156 SO PHYSICAL REVIEW C LA English DT Article ID SPONTANEOUS FISSION; NEUTRON; ISOTOPES; NUCLEI; RB-91 AB The excited states of the neutron-rich nuclei Pm-155,Pm-156 and Rb-91,Rb-92,Rb-93 were studied from the spontaneous fission of Cf-252. The gamma-gamma-gamma and x(Pm)-gamma-gamma triple coincidence relations were applied to identify the gamma transitions. Fourteen, six, three, twelve, and twelve new gamma transitions from high-spin states were observed in Pm-155,Pm-156, Rb-91,Rb-92, and Rb-93 (first levels), respectively. The pi 5/2[532] rotational band in Pm-155 was extended up to 23/2(-). The pi g(9/2) particle states and pi f(5/2) particle states in Rb-91,Rb-93 weakly coupled to Kr-90,Kr-92, respectively, are reported. C1 [Hwang, J. K.; Ramayya, A. V.; Hamilton, J. H.; Liu, S.

TI Excited superdeformed bands in Dy-154 and cranked relativistic mean field interpretation SO PHYSICAL REVIEW C LA English DT Article ID MASS REGION; NUCLEI; ADDITIVITY; STATES AB A Gammasphere experiment has been carried out using the Sn-122(S-36, 4n) reaction to search for excited superdeformed (SD) structures in Dy-154 to investigate the properties of neutron orbitals at superdeformation. Five new excited SD bands have been identified with intensities ranging from similar to 0.7% to similar to 0.03% relative to the Dy-154 reaction channel. Bands SD1, SD3, SD5, and SD6 are interpreted within the cranked relativistic mean field theory by using the effective alignment method. High-N intruder configurations are also discussed for bands SD2 and SD4, based on a comparison of their dynamic moments of inertia, which rise with increasing rotational frequency, with those of similar bands in neighboring nuclei.

Longitudinal and transverse radial flows are explicitly embedded into the ansatz for the velocity field and the hydrodynamic equations are reduced to a single equation for the transverse velocity field only, which is analytically more tractable as compared to the full hydrodynamic equations. As an application we use the method to find analytically all possible solutions whose transverse velocity fields have power dependence on the proper time and transverse radius. The possible applications to relativistic heavy ion collisions and possible generalizations of the method are discussed.

TI Applications of quark-hadron duality in the F-2 structure function SO PHYSICAL REVIEW C LA English DT Article ID INELASTIC ELECTRON-SCATTERING; LEPTON-NUCLEON SCATTERING; PARTON DISTRIBUTIONS; GLOBAL ANALYSIS; QCD ANALYSIS; ELECTROMAGNETIC CORRECTIONS; CROSS-SECTIONS; LOCAL DUALITY; HIGHER TWIST; L/SIGMA-T AB Inclusive electron-proton and electron-deuteron inelastic cross sections have been measured at Jefferson Lab (JLab) in the resonance region, at large Bjorken x, up to 0.92, and four-momentum transfer squared Q(2) up to 7.5 GeV2 in the experiment E00-116. These measurements are used to extend to larger x and Q(2) precision, quantitative, studies of the phenomenon of quark-hadron duality. Our analysis confirms, both globally and locally, the apparent "violation" of quark-hadron duality previously observed at a Q(2) of 3.5 GeV2 when resonance data are compared to structure function data created from CTEQ6M and MRST2004 parton distribution functions (PDFs). More importantly, our new data show that this discrepancy saturates by Q(2) similar to 4 GeV2, becoming Q(2) independent. This suggests only small violations of Q(2) evolution by contributions from the higher-twist terms in the resonance region that is confirmed by our comparisons to ALEKHIN and ALLM97. We conclude that the unconstrained strength of the CTEQ6M and MRST2004 PDFs at large x is the major source of the disagreement between data and these parametrizations in the kinematic regime we study and that, in view of quark-hadron duality, properly averaged resonance region data could be used in global quantum chromodynamics fits to reduce PDF uncertainties at large x.

Dimensional regularization is used to renormalize the pion-loop corrections. A simple expression is derived for the magnetic dipole (M1) operator associated with pion loops, consisting of two terms, one of which is determined, uniquely, by the isospin-dependent part of the two-pion-exchange potential. This decomposition is also carried out for the M1 operator arising from contact currents, in which the unique term is determined by the contact potential. Finally, the low-energy constants entering the N(2)LO potential are fixed by fits to the np S-and P-wave phase shifts up to 100 MeV laboratory energies.

TI The 11/2(-)[505] neutron extruder orbital in Sm-159 SO PHYSICAL REVIEW C LA English DT Article ID ROTATIONAL BANDS; REGION; FISSION; NUCLEI; STATES AB Excited states in Sm-159, populated following the spontaneous fission of Cf-252 have been studied by means of gamma spectroscopy, using the Gammasphere array. In Sm-159 we have identified an isomeric level with a half-life of T-1/2 = 116( 8) ns at an excitation energy of 1276.8 keV and observed a rotational band on top of this isomer. On the basis of the observed properties of the isomer and the band on top of it we propose that the 1276.8-keV level in Sm-159 corresponds to the 11/2(-)[505] neutron extruder configuration. The new excitation scheme of Sm-159 is compared to quasiparticle rotor model calculations. C1 [Urban, W.] Inst Max Von Laue Paul Langevin, F-38042 Grenoble, France.

TI Neutral pion electroproduction in the resonance region at high Q(2) SO PHYSICAL REVIEW C LA English DT Article ID N-DELTA TRANSITION; FORM-FACTORS; DELTA(1232) RESONANCE; RADIATIVE CORRECTIONS; GAMMA-ASTERISK; QUARK-MODEL; SCATTERING; PHOTOPRODUCTION; NUCLEON; ENERGY AB The process ep -> ep pi(0) has been measured at Q(2) = 6.4 and 7.7 (GeV/c(2))(2) in Jefferson Lab's Hall C. Unpolarized differential cross sections are reported in the virtual photon-proton center-of-mass frame considering the process. gamma*p -> p pi(0). Various details relating to the background subtractions, radiative corrections, and systematic errors are discussed. The usefulness of the data with regard to the measurement of the electromagnetic properties of the well-known Delta (1232) resonance is covered in detail. Specifically considered are the electromagnetic and scalar-magnetic ratios R-EM and R-SM along with the magnetic transition form factor G*(M). It is found that the rapid falloff of the Delta (1232) contribution continues into this region of momentum transfer and that other resonances may be making important contributions in this region.

The kicked medium partons subsequently materialize as the observed ridge particles, which carry direct information on the early parton momentum distribution and the magnitude of the momentum kick. We find that the PHENIX ridge data can be described well by the momentum-kick model and the extracted early partons momentum distribution has a thermal-like transverse distribution and a rapidity plateau structure. We also find that the parton-parton scattering between the jet parton and the medium parton involves the exchange of a nonperturbative pomeron, for jet partons in momentum range considered in the near-side ridge measurements.

CA CDF Collaboration TI Search for hadronic decays of W and Z bosons in photon events in p(p)over-bar collisions at root s=1.96 TeV SO PHYSICAL REVIEW D LA English DT Article ID SILICON VERTEX DETECTOR; CERN PBARP COLLIDER; GAMMA PRODUCTION; QCD CORRECTIONS; FERMILAB; COUPLINGS AB We report on a search for the process p (p) over bar -> gamma + W/Z with W/Z -> q (q) over bar in events containing two jets and a photon at the center-of-mass energy root s 1.96 TeV, using 184 pb(-1) of data collected by the CDF II detector. A neural network event selection has been developed to optimize the rejection of the large QCD production background; it is shown that this method gives a significant improvement in both signal-to-noise ratio and signal sensitivity, as compared with an event selection based on conventional cuts. An upper limit is presented for the gamma + W/Z production cross section with the W and Z decaying hadronically. C1 [Chen, Y. C.; Hou, S.; Lu, R. -S.; Mitra, A.; Teng, P. K.; Wang, S.

TI Search for anomalous production of events with a photon, jet, b-quark jet, and missing transverse energy SO PHYSICAL REVIEW D LA English DT Article ID = 1.8 TEV; P(P)OVER-BAR COLLISIONS; LUMINOSITY MONITOR; PBARP COLLISIONS; CROSS-SECTION; CDF; DETECTOR; CALORIMETER; PERFORMANCE AB We present a signature-based search for the anomalous production of events containing a photon, two jets, of which at least one is identified as originating from a b quark, and missing transverse energy ((sic)(T)). The search uses data corresponding to 2.0 fb(-1) of integrated luminosity from p (p) over bar collisions at a center-of-mass energy of root s = 1.96 TeV, collected with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. From 6.697 47 x 10(6) events with a photon candidate with transverse energy E-T > 25 GeV, we find 617 events with (sic)(T) > 25 GeV and two or more jets with E-T > 15 GeV, at least one identified as originating from a b quark, versus an expectation of 607 +/- 113 events. Increasing the requirement on (sic)(T) to 50 GeV, we find 28 events versus an expectation of 30 +/- 11 events. We find no indications of non-standard-model phenomena.

CA CDF Collaboration TI Search for the neutral current top quark decay t -> Zc using the ratio of Z-boson+4 jets to W-boson+4 jets production SO PHYSICAL REVIEW D LA English DT Article ID ELECTROMAGNETIC CALORIMETER; P(P)OVER-BAR COLLISIONS; PBARP COLLISIONS; CROSS-SECTION; 1.8 TEV; ROOT-S; CDF; DETECTOR; NEUTRINOS; UPGRADE AB We have used the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF-II) to search for the flavor-changing neutral-current (FCNC) top-quark decay t -> Zc using a technique employing ratios of W and Z production, measured in p (p) over bar data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.52 fb(-1). The analysis uses a comparison of two decay chains, p (p) over bar -> t (t) over bar -> WbWb -> l nu bjjb and p (p) over bar -> t (t) over bar -> ZcWb -> llcjjb, to cancel systematic uncertainties in acceptance, efficiency, and luminosity. We validate the modeling of acceptance and efficiency for lepton identification over the multiyear data set using another ratio of W and Z production, in this case the observed ratio of inclusive production of W to Z bosons. To improve the discrimination against standard model backgrounds to top-quark decays, we calculate the top-quark mass for each event with two leptons and four jets assuming it is a t (t) over bar event with one of the top quarks decaying to Zc. For additional background discrimination we require at least one jet to be identified as originating from a b quark. No significant signal is found and we set an upper limit on the FCNC branching ratio Br(t -> Zc) using a likelihood constructed from the llcjjb top-quark mass distribution and the number of l nu bjjb events. Limits are set as a function of the helicity of the Z boson produced in the FCNC decay. For 100% longitudinally-polarized Z bosons we find limits of 8.3% and 9.3% (95% C. L.) depending on the assumptions regarding the theoretical top-quark pair production cross section.

CA CDF Collaboration TI Measurement of the top quark mass using the invariant mass of lepton pairs in soft muon b-tagged events SO PHYSICAL REVIEW D LA English DT Article ID COLLIDER DETECTOR; PARTON DISTRIBUTIONS; DILEPTON EVENTS; FERMILAB; PHYSICS AB We present the first measurement of the mass of the top quark in a sample of t (t) over bar -> l (nu) over barb (b) over barq (q) over bar events (where l = e, mu) selected by identifying jets containing a muon candidate from the semileptonic decay of heavy-flavor hadrons (soft muon b tagging). The p (p) over bar collision data used correspond to an integrated luminosity of 2 fb(-1) and were collected by the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The measurement is based on a novel technique exploiting the invariant mass of a subset of the decay particles, specifically the lepton from the W boson of the t -> Wb decay and the muon from a semileptonic b decay. We fit template histograms, derived from simulation of t (t) over bar events and a modeling of the background, to the mass distribution observed in the data and measure a top quark mass of 180.5 +/- 12.0(stat) +/- 3.6(syst) GeV/c(2), consistent with the current world average value.

TI Measurement of trilinear gauge boson couplings from WW plus WZ -> lvjj events in p(p)over-bar collisions at root s=1.96 TeV SO PHYSICAL REVIEW D LA English DT Article ID ELECTROWEAK VECTOR BOSONS; UNITARITY CONSTRAINTS; SYMMETRY-BREAKING; STANDARD MODEL; HIGGS BOSONS; PHYSICS; SUPERSYMMETRY; DETECTOR; SECTOR; MASS AB We present a direct measurement of trilinear gauge boson couplings at gamma WW and ZWW vertices inWW and WZ events produced in p (p) over bar collisions at root s = 1:96 TeV. We consider events with one electron or muon, missing transverse energy, and at least two jets. The data were collected using the D0 detector and correspond to 1:1 fb(-1) of integrated luminosity. Considering two different relations between the couplings at the gamma WW and ZWW vertices, we measure these couplings at 68% C.L. to be kappa(gamma) = 1.07(-0.29)(+0.26) lambda = 0.00(-0.06)(+0.00), and g(1)(Z) = 1.04(-0.09)(+0.09) in a scenario respecting SU(2)(L) circle times U(1)(Y) gauge symmetry and kappa = 1.04(-0.11)(+0.11) and lambda = 0.00(-0.06)(+0.06) in an "equal couplings'' scenario.

TI Search for charged Higgs bosons in decays of top quarks SO PHYSICAL REVIEW D LA English DT Article ID E(+)E(-) COLLISIONS; MASSLESS PARTICLES; BROKEN SYMMETRIES; MSSM; MASSES; LEVEL AB We present a search for charged Higgs bosons in decays of top quarks, in the mass range 80 < m(H+) < 155 GeV, assuming the subsequent decay H+ -> tau(+)nu(tau) (and its charge conjugate). Using 0.9 fb(-1) of lepton + jets data collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron p (p) over bar collider, operating at a center of mass energy root s = 1.96 TeV, we find no evidence for a H+/- signal. Hence we exclude branching ratios B(t -> H(+)b) > 0.24 for m(H+) 80 GeV and B(t -> H(+)b) > 0.19 for m(H+) = 155 GeV at the 95% C.L. C1 [Abazov, V. M.; Alexeev, G. D.; Kharzheev, Y. N.; Malyshev, V.

Harnik, Roni Rajendran, Surjeet TI Decaying dark matter as a probe of unification and TeV spectroscopy SO PHYSICAL REVIEW D LA English DT Article ID POSITRON EXCESS; R-PARITY; ENERGIES; PAMELA; RAYS AB In supersymmetric unified theories the dark matter particle can decay, just like the proton, through grand unified interactions with a lifetime of order of similar to 10(26) sec. Its decay products can be detected by several experiments-including Fermi, HESS, PAMELA, ATIC, and IceCube-opening our first direct window to physics at the TeV scale and simultaneously at the unification scale similar to 10(16) GeV. We consider possibilities for explaining the electron/positron spectra observed by HESS, PAMELA, and ATIC, and the resulting predictions for the gamma-ray, electron/positron, and neutrino spectra as will be measured, for example, by Fermi and IceCube. The discovery of an isotropic, hard gamma ray spectral feature at Fermi would be strong evidence for dark matter and would disfavor astrophysical sources such as pulsars. Substructure in the cosmic ray spectra probes the spectroscopy of new TeV-mass particles. For example, a preponderance of electrons in the final state can result from the lightness of selectrons relative to squarks. Decaying dark matter acts as a sparticle injector with an energy reach potentially higher than the LHC. The resulting cosmic ray flux depends only on the values of the weak and unification scales.

CA BaBaR Collaboration TI Measurement of the gamma gamma* -> pi(0) transition form factor SO PHYSICAL REVIEW D LA English DT Article ID EXCLUSIVE PROCESSES; QUANTUM CHROMODYNAMICS; PION; MESONS; COLLISIONS; QCD AB We study the reaction e(+)e(-) -> e(+)e(-)pi(0) in the single tag mode and measure the differential cross section d sigma/dQ(2) and the gamma gamma* -> pi(0) transition form factor in the momentum transfer range from 4 to 40 GeV2. At Q(2) > 10 GeV2 the measured form factor exceeds the asymptotic limit predicted by perturbative QCD. The analysis is based on 442 fb(-1) of integrated luminosity collected at PEP-II with the BABAR detector at e(+)e(-) center-of-mass energies near 10.6 GeV. C1 [Aubert, B.; Karyotakis, Y.; Lees, J.

CA BaBar Collaboration TI Observation of the baryonic B-decay (B)over-bar(0) -> Lambda(+)(c)(p)over-barK(-)pi(+) SO PHYSICAL REVIEW D LA English DT Article AB We report the observation of the baryonic B-decay (B) over bar (0) -> Lambda(+)(c)(p) over barK(-)pi(+), excluding contributions from the decay (B) over bar (0) -> Lambda(+)(c)(Lambda) over barK(-). Using a data sample of 467 x 10(6) B (B) over bar pairs collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II storage ring at SLAC, the measured branching fraction is (4.33 +/- 0.82(stat) +/- 0.33(syst) +/- 1.13(Lambda c+)) x 10(-5). In addition we find evidence for the resonant decay (B) over bar (0) -> Sigma(c)(2455)(++)(p) over barK(-) and determine its branching fraction to be (1.11 +/- 0.30(stat) +/- 0.09(syst) +/- 0.29(Lambda c+)) x 10(-5). The errors are statistical, systematic, and due to the uncertainty in the Lambda(+)(c) branching fraction. For the resonant decay (B) over bar (0) -> Lambda(+)(c)(p) over bar(K) over bar*(0) we obtain an upper limit of 2.42 x 10(-5) at 90% confidence level. C1 [Aubert, B.; Karyotakis, Y.; Lees, J.

CA BaBaR Collaboration TI Search for B-meson decays to b(1 rho) and b(1)K SO PHYSICAL REVIEW D LA English DT Article ID GENERAL-THEORY; POLARIZATION; COLLISIONS; PARTICLES; PHYSICS; JETS; SPIN AB present a search for decays of B mesons to final states with a b(1) meson and a rho or K*(d892) meson. The search is based on a data sample consisting of 465 million B (B) over bar pairs collected by the BABAR detector at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. We do not observe any statistically significant signal. The upper limits we set on the branching fractions range from 1.4 to 8.0 x 10(-6) at the 90% confidence level, including systematic uncertainties. C1 [Aubert, B.; Karyotakis, Y.; Lees, J.

The main dark matter annihilation products are the lightest CP-even scalar h(1) plus the lightest CP-odd scalar a(1), with the a(1) decaying into two muons. The energetic positrons needed to explain PAMELA are thus obtained in the NMSSM simply from kinematics. The required large annihilation cross section is obtained from an s-channel resonance with the heavier CP-odd scalar a(2). Various experiments constrain the PAMELA-favored NMSSM parameter space, including collider searches for a light a(1). These constraints point to a unique corner of the NMSSM parameter space, having a lightest neutralino mass around 160 GeV and a very light pseudoscalar mass less than a GeV. A simple parametrized formula for the charge-dependent solar modulation effects reconciles the discrepancy between the PAMELA data and the estimated background at lower energies. We also discuss the electron and gamma-ray spectra from the Fermi LAT observations, and point out the discrepancy between the NMSSM predictions and Fermi LAT preliminary results and possible resolution. An NMSSM explanation of PAMELA makes three striking and uniquely correlated predictions: the rise in the PAMELA positron spectrum will turn over at around 70 GeV, the dark matter particle mass is less than the top quark mass, and a light sub-GeV pseudoscalar will be discovered at colliders.

We take a model-independent approach and only require family universal charges for the first and second generations and small fermion mixing angles. The results of our analysis show that within this class of models, the anomalies in B(s) - (B) over bar (s) mixing and the time-dependent CP asymmetries of the penguin-dominated B(d) -> (pi, phi, eta', rho, omega, f(0))K(S) decays can be accommodated.

In this paper we analyze how well the three-site model performs as a general exemplar of Higgsless models in describing WLWL scattering, and which modifications can make it more representative. We employ general sum rules relating the masses and couplings of the Kaluza-Klein modes of the gauge fields in continuum and deconstructed Higgsless models as a way to compare the different theories. We show that the size of the four-point vertex for the (unphysical) Nambu-Goldstone modes and the degree to which the sum rules are saturated by contributions from the lowest-lying Kaluza-Klein resonances both provide good measures of the extent to which a highly deconstructed theory can accurately describe the low-energy physics of a continuum 5D Higgsless model. After comparing the three-site model to flat and warped continuum models, we analyze extensions of the three-site model to a longer open linear moose with an additional U(1) group and to a ring ("breaking electroweak symmetry strongly'' or "hidden local symmetry'') model with three sites and three links. Both cases may be readily analyzed in the framework of the general sum rules. We demonstrate that WLWL scattering in the ring model can very closely approximate scattering in the continuum models, provided that the hidden local symmetry parameter a is chosen to mimic rho-meson dominance of pi pi scattering in QCD. The hadron and lepton collider phenomenology of both extended models is briefly discussed, with a focus on the complementary information to be gained from precision measurements of the Z' line shape and ZWW coupling at a high-energy lepton collider.

CA Muon g-2 Collaboration TI Improved limit on the muon electric dipole moment SO PHYSICAL REVIEW D LA English DT Article ID ANOMALOUS MAGNETIC-MOMENT; POSITIVE MUON; G-2 AB Three independent searches for an electric dipole moment (EDM) of the positive and negative muons have been performed, using spin precession data from the muon g - 2 storage ring at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Details on the experimental apparatus and the three analyses are presented. Since the individual results on the positive and negative muons, as well as the combined result, d(mu) = (0.0 +/- 0.9) x 10(-19)e cm, are all consistent with zero, we set a new muon EDM limit, vertical bar d(mu)vertical bar < 1.8 x 10(-19)e cm (95% C.L.). This represents a factor of 5 improvement over the previous best limit on the muon EDM. C1 [Bennett, G. W.; Brown, H. N.; Bunce, G.; Danby, G. T.; Larsen, R.; Lee, Y. Y.; Meng, W.; Mi, J.; Morse, W.

Nomura, Yasunori TI Multiverse understanding of cosmological coincidences SO PHYSICAL REVIEW D LA English DT Article ID GAS CLOUDS; CONSTANT; FRAGMENTATION; GALAXIES AB There is a deep cosmological mystery: although dependent on very different underlying physics, the time scales of structure formation, of galaxy cooling (both radiatively and against the CMB), and of vacuum domination do not differ by many orders of magnitude, but are all comparable to the present age of the universe. By scanning four landscape parameters simultaneously, we show that this quadruple coincidence is resolved. We assume only that the statistical distribution of parameter values in the multiverse grows towards certain catastrophic boundaries we identify, across which there are drastic regime changes. We find order-of-magnitude predictions for the cosmological constant, the primordial density contrast, the temperature at matter-radiation equality, the typical galaxy mass, and the age of the universe, in terms of the fine structure constant and the electron, proton and Planck masses. Our approach permits a systematic evaluation of measure proposals; with the causal patch measure, we find no runaway of the primordial density contrast and the cosmological constant to large values.

TI Constraining dark energy with clusters: Complementarity with other probes SO PHYSICAL REVIEW D LA English DT Article ID OPTICAL RICHNESS RELATION; MAXBCG GALAXY CLUSTERS; PARAMETER CONSTRAINTS; SCATTER; NORMALIZATION; COSMOLOGY; EVOLUTION; PROJECT; SZ AB The Figure of Merit Science Working Group recently forecast the constraints on dark energy that will be achieved prior to the Joint Dark Energy Mission by ground-based experiments that exploit baryon acoustic oscillations, type Ia supernovae, and weak gravitational lensing. We show that cluster counts from ongoing and near-future surveys should provide robust, complementary dark energy constraints. In particular, we find that optimally combined optical and Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect cluster surveys should improve the Dark Energy Task Force figure of merit for pre-Joint Dark Energy Mission projects by a factor of 2 even without prior knowledge of the nuisance parameters in the cluster mass-observable relation. Comparable improvements are achieved in the forecast precision of parameters specifying the principal component description of the dark energy equation of state parameter, as well as in the growth index gamma. These results indicate that cluster counts can play an important complementary role in constraining dark energy and modified gravity even if the associated systematic errors are not strongly controlled.

R. Onofrio, Roberto TI On the use of the proximity force approximation for deriving limits to short-range gravitational-like interactions from sphere-plane Casimir force experiments SO PHYSICAL REVIEW D LA English DT Article ID SUBMILLIMETER-RANGE; MACROSCOPIC FORCES; SCALE-INVARIANCE; CONSTRAINTS; PARTICLES; FRICTION; GRAVITY; LAW AB We discuss the role of the proximity force approximation in deriving limits to the existence of Yukawian forces-predicted in the submillimeter range by many unification models-from Casimir force experiments using the sphere-plane geometry. Two forms of this approximation are discussed, the first used in most analyses of the residuals from the Casimir force experiments performed so far, and the second recently discussed in this context in R. Decca et al. [Phys. Rev. D 79, 124021 (2009)]. We show that the former form of the proximity force approximation overestimates the expected Yukawa force and that the relative deviation from the exact Yukawa force is of the same order of magnitude, in the realistic experimental settings, as the relative deviation expected between the exact Casimir force and the Casimir force evaluated in the proximity force approximation. This implies both a systematic shift making the actual limits to the Yukawa force weaker than claimed so far, and a degree of uncertainty in the alpha-lambda plane related to the handling of the various approximations used in the theory for both the Casimir and the Yukawa forces. We further argue that the recently discussed form for the proximity force approximation is equivalent, for a geometry made of a generic object interacting with an infinite planar slab, to the usual exact integration of any additive two-body interaction, without any need to invoke approximation schemes. If the planar slab is of finite size, an additional source of systematic error arises due to the breaking of the planar translational invariance of the system, and we finally discuss to what extent this may affect limits obtained on power-law and Yukawa forces.

The analysis of density perturbations-taking into account the integrated effect of the produced particles and their quantum fluctuations-requires somewhat new techniques that we develop. We then determine the conditions for this effect to produce 60 e-foldings of inflation with the correct amplitude of density perturbations at the Gaussian level and show that these requirements can be straightforwardly satisfied. Finally, we estimate the amplitude of the non-Gaussianity in the power spectrum and find a significant equilateral contribution.

In this setup, baryons appear as topological solitons of the five-dimensional holographic gauge theory that describes a tower of mesons and their interactions. We find a relativistic extension of the nucleon-delta-vector meson interaction vertices and use these to calculate transition form factors from holographic QCD. We observe that at low momentum transfer, magnetic dipole, electric and Coulomb quadrupole form factors, and their ratios follow the patterns expected in the large N-c limit. Our results at this approximation are in reasonable agreement with experiment. C1 [Grigoryan, Hovhannes R.; Lee, T. -S. H.] Argonne Natl Lab, Div Phys, Argonne, IL 60439 USA.

Unlike neutralino annihilations in the MSSM, this model can provide a good fit to the PAMELA cosmic ray positron fraction excess. Furthermore, the singletlike Higgs bosons can induce a large Sommerfeld enhancement and provide an annihilation rate sufficient to accommodate the observed positron excess.

The baryon mass data used for the analyses are obtained for the degenerate up-down quark mass of 3 to 24 MeV and two choices of the strange quark mass around the physical value. We find that the SU(3) chiral expansion fails to describe both the octet and the decuplet baryon data if phenomenological values are employed for the meson-baryon couplings. The SU(2) case is also examined for the nucleon. We observe that higher order terms are controlled only around the physical point. We also evaluate finite size effects using SU(3) heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory, finding small values of order 1% even at the physical point.

It is found that the temporal quark correlation function in the deconfined phase near the critical temperature is well reproduced by a two-pole ansatz for the spectral function. This indicates that excitation modes of the quark field have small decay rates. The bare quark mass and momentum dependence of the spectral function is analyzed with this ansatz. In the chiral limit we find that the quark spectral function has two collective modes corresponding to the normal and plasmino excitations in the high-temperature limit. Over a rather wide temperature range in the deconfined phase the pole mass of these modes at zero momentum, which corresponds to the thermal mass of the quark, is approximately proportional to temperature. With increasing bare quark masses the plasmino mode gradually disappears, and the spectral function is dominated by a single pole. We also discuss quasiparticle properties of heavy quarks in the deconfined phase. In the confined phase, it is found that the pole ansatz for the spectral function fails completely.

One probe of gravity is a comparison of expansion history of the Universe with the history of structure growth via gravitational instability: general relativity predicts a specific relation between these two observables. Here we show that the mean pairwise streaming velocity of galaxy clusters provides a useful method of constraining this relation. Galaxy cluster velocities can be measured via the kinetic Sunyaev-Zeldovich distortion of the cosmic microwave background radiation. Future surveys can provide large enough catalogs of cluster velocities to discriminate between general relativity and other proposed gravitational theories.

By adopting a parametrized post-Friedmann description of gravity, we utilize all of the cosmic microwave background data, including the largest scales, and its correlation with galaxies in addition to the geometrical constraints from supernovae distances and the Hubble constant. We find that on both branches brane tension or a cosmological constant is required at high significance with no evidence for the unique Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati modifications. The crossover scale must therefore be substantially greater than the Hubble scale H(0)r(c) > 3 and 3.5 at the 95% C.L. with and without uncertainties from spatial curvature. With spatial curvature, the limit from the normal branch is substantially assisted by the galaxy cross correlation which highlights its importance in constraining infrared modifications to gravity.

The condensate manifests itself through even powers of the inverse temperature while the total perturbative contribution corresponds to a mild temperature dependence and turns out to be compatible with zero within errors. We try several resummation methods based on a renormalization group improvement. The trace anomaly data are analyzed and compared with other determinations of the dimension two condensate based on the Polyakov loop and the heavy q (q) over bar free energy, yielding roughly similar numerical values. The role of glueballs near the transition is also discussed. C1 [Megias, E.] Brookhaven Natl Lab, Dept Phys, Nucl Theory Grp, Upton, NY 11973 USA. [Ruiz Arriola, E.; Salcedo, L.

We confirm that the acoustic peak traced by the dark matter is both broadened and shifted as structure forms, and that this shift is well described by second-order perturbation theory. These shifts persist for dark matter halos, and are a simple function of halo bias, with the shift (mostly) increasing with increasing bias. Extending our perturbation theory results to halos with simple two parameter bias models (both in Lagrangian and Eulerian space) quantitatively explains the observed shifts. In particular, we demonstrate that there are additional terms that contribute to the shift that are absent for the matter. At z = 0 for currently favored cosmologies, the matter shows shifts of similar to 0.5%, b = 1 halos shift the acoustic scale by similar to 0.2%, while b = 2 halos shift it by similar to 0.5%; these shifts decrease by the square of the growth factor D(z) at higher redshifts. These results are easily generalized to galaxies within the halo model, where we show that simple galaxy models show marginally larger shifts than the correspondingly biased halos, due to the contribution of satellites in high mass halos. While our focus here is on real space, our results make specific predictions for redshift space. For currently favored cosmological models, we find that the shifts for halos at z = 0 increase by similar to 0.3%; at high z, they increase by similar to 0.5% D(2). Our results demonstrate that these theoretical systematics are smaller than the statistical precision of upcoming surveys, even if one ignored the corrections discussed here. Simple modeling, along the lines discussed here, has the potential to reduce these systematics to below the levels of cosmic variance limited surveys.

The technique applies a low-rank operator to define smooth fields that are to be used in hadron creation operators. The resulting space of smooth fields is small enough that all elements of the reduced quark propagator can be computed exactly at reasonable computational cost. Correlations between arbitrary sources, including multihadron operators can be computed a posteriori without requiring new lattice Dirac operator inversions. The method is tested on realistic lattice sizes with light dynamical quarks. C1 [Peardon, Michael] Univ Dublin Trinity Coll, Sch Math, Dublin 2, Ireland.

We use an ensemble of N-body simulations to directly follow the potentials and compare the results to analytic PT methods. The predictions from the PT match the results to high precision fork < 0.2h Mpc(-1). We compute the nonlinear corrections to the angular power spectrum and find them to be < 10% of linear theory for l < 100. These corrections are swamped by the cosmic variance. On scales l > 100 the departures are more significant; however, the CMB signal is more than a factor 103 larger at this scale. Nonlinear ISW effects therefore play no role in shaping the CMB power spectrum for l < 1500. We analyze the CMB-density tracer cross spectrum using simulations and renormalized bias PT, and find good agreement. The usual assumption is that nonlinear evolution enhances the growth of structure and counteracts the linear ISW on small scales, leading to a change in sign of the CMB large-scale structure cross spectrum at small scales. However, PT analysis suggests that this trend reverses at late times when the logarithmic growth rate f = d lnD/d lna < 0.5 or Omega(m)(z) < 0.3. Numerical results confirm these expectations and we find no sign change in ISW large-scale structure cross power for low redshifts. Corrections due to nonlinearity and scale dependence of the bias are found to be < 10% for l < 100, and are therefore below the signal to noise of the current and future measurements. Finally, we estimate the cross-correlation coefficient between the CMB and halos and show that it can be made to match that for the dark matter and CMB to within 5% for thin redshift shells, thus mitigating the need to model bias evolution.

Here, we give the microscopic derivation. The solution reveals a new mechanism of confinement in QCD(adj) in the regime where we have control over both perturbative and nonperturbative aspects. In particular, consider SU(2)QCD(adj) theory with 1 <= n(f) <= 4 Majorana fermions, a theory which undergoes gauge symmetry breaking at small S(1). If the magnetic charge of the Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield (BPS) monopole is normalized to unity, we show that confinement occurs due to condensation of objects with magnetic charge 2, not 1. Because of index theorems, we know that such an object cannot be a two identical monopole configuration. Its net topological charge must vanish, and hence it must be topologically indistinguishable from the perturbative vacuum. We construct such non-self-dual topological excitations, the magnetically charged, topologically null molecules of a BPS monopole and (KK) over bar antimonopole, which we refer to as magnetic bions. An immediate puzzle with this proposal is the apparent Coulomb repulsion between the BPS-KK pair. An attraction which overcomes the Coulomb repulsion between the two is induced by 2n(f)-fermion exchange. Bion condensation is also the mechanism of confinement in N = 1 SYM on the same four-manifold. The SU(N) generalization hints a possible hidden integrability behind nonsupersymmetric QCD of affine Toda type, and allows us to analytically compute the mass gap in the gauge sector. We currently do not know the extension to R(4). C1 [Uensal, Mithat] Stanford Univ, SLAC, Menlo Pk, CA 94025 USA. [Uensal, Mithat] Stanford Univ, Dept Phys, Stanford, CA 94305 USA.

Department of Energy [DE-AC02-76SF00515] FX Note added.-There was a large time delay between the arXiv version of this paper and its submission to a journal. In the meantime, new useful techniques, such as center stabilizing double-trace deformations, which allows a smooth connection of small and large S1 physics, and the relevant index theorem for generic topological excitations on S1 xXR3 have been found. These techniques enabled us to study nonperturbative dynamics of all vectorlike and even chiral theories on S1 X R3. In all chiral theories and QCD-like theories with two index matter representations, we now understand that magnetic bions or similar composite non-self-dual excitations are the root cause of confinement. For a review of these developments and related works, see the recent preprint [48].

The fluid, water with a Prandtl number (sigma) of about 6, was confined in a cell with a square cross section of 7.3x7.3 cm(2) and a height of 9.4 cm. Heat transport was measured for Rayleigh numbers 2x10(5)< Ra < 5x10(8) and Taylor numbers 0 < Ta < 5x10(9). We show the variation in normalized heat transport, the Nusselt number, at fixed dimensional rotation rate Omega(D), at fixed Ra varying Ta, at fixed Ta varying Ra, and at fixed Rossby number Ro. The scaling of heat transport in the range of 10(7) to about 10(9) is roughly 0.29 with a Ro-dependent coefficient or equivalently is also well fit by a combination of power laws of the form a Ra(1/5)+b Ra(1/3). The range of Ra is not sufficient to differentiate single power law or combined power-law scaling. The data are roughly consistent with an assumption that the enhancement of heat transport owing to rotation is proportional to the number of vortical structures penetrating the boundary layer. We also compare indirect measures of thermal and Ekman boundary layer thicknesses to assess their potential role in controlling heat transport in different regimes of Ra and Ta.

In the experiments, grains flow inside a silo with a rectangular cross section and are sheared by a rough boundary on one side and smooth boundaries on the other sides. Individual grain position and motion are measured using a particle index-matching imaging technique where a fluorescent dye is added to the interstitial liquid which has the same refractive index as the glass beads. The simulations use a Cundall-Strack contact model between the grains using contact parameters that have been used in many other previous studies and ignore the hydrodynamic effects of the interstitial liquid. Computations are performed to understand the effect of particle coefficient of friction, elasticity, contact model, and polydispersity on mean flow properties. We then perform a detailed comparison of the particle fluctuation properties as measured by the displacement probability distribution function and the mean square displacement. All in all, our study suggests a high level of quantitative agreement between the simulations and experiments. C1 [Rycroft, Chris H.] Lawrence Berkeley Lab, Dept Math, Berkeley, CA 94720 USA.

Clear evidence is found that beyond a threshold film thickness there exists a transition from quasi-two-dimensional collective swimming to three-dimensional turbulent behavior. The latter state, qualitatively different from bioconvection in dilute bacterial suspensions, is characterized by enhanced diffusivities of oxygen and bacteria.

TI Minimal inductance for axisymmetric transmission lines with radially dependent anode-cathode gap SO PHYSICAL REVIEW SPECIAL TOPICS-ACCELERATORS AND BEAMS LA English DT Article AB We extend the variational calculus technique for inductance minimization of constant gap axisymmetric transmission lines (TL), introduced by Hurricane [J. Appl. Phys. 95, 4503 (2004)], to the case in which the anode-cathode gap is a linear function of the midgap radius. The full analytic optimal midgap solution curve z(r) yielding minimum inductance is obtained in terms of a single parameter rho(0), determined numerically by imposing that z(r) goes through prescribed end points. The radius of curvature rho(r) of the optimal curve is obtained everywhere the function is defined, even outside of the end point range, and it is shown that a convenient choice is rho(0) = rho(0). The value of the transmission line inductance is calculated by 1D numerical quadrature. A simple numerical technique is introduced for TL with nonlinear radial gap dependence.

A "weak form" of these equations is derived that explicitly conserves energy and is suitable for a Galerkin finite element formulation provided the basis elements have C-1 continuity. Systems of reduced equations are discussed, along with their energy conservation properties.

TI Observations of proton beam enhancement due to erbium hydride on gold foil targets SO PHYSICS OF PLASMAS LA English DT Article ID FAST IGNITION; LASER-PULSES; SIMULATION; PHOTON; FUSION AB Recent theoretical work suggests that the conversion efficiency from laser to protons in laser irradiated thin foil experiments increases if the atomic mass of nonhydrogen atoms on the foil rear surface increases. Experiments were performed at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Jupiter Laser Facility to observe the effect of thin foils coated with erbium hydride on the conversion efficiency from laser to protons. Gold foils with and without the rear surface coated with ErH(3) were irradiated using the ultrashort pulse, 40 TW Callisto laser. An argon-ion etching system was used to remove naturally occurring nanometer thick surface layer contaminants from the hydride. With the etcher, gold with ErH(3) showed a 25% increase in the conversion efficiency to protons above 3.4 MeV relative to contaminants, where C(+4) and H(+) were the dominant ion species. No difference in the ion signal was observed without first cleaning the hydrides. Simulations using the hybrid PIC code, LSP, revealed that the increase due to erbium hydride versus contaminants is 37% for protons above 3 MeV. (C) 2009 American Institute of Physics.

The Langmuir decay instability SO PHYSICS OF PLASMAS LA English DT Article ID STIMULATED RAMAN-SCATTERING; TURBULENCE; PLASMAS AB We derive a fully kinetic, three-dimensional dispersion relation for Langmuir waves with a focus on the Langmuir decay instability (LDI). The kinetic dispersion is compared to the standard fluid dispersion found with an equation of state (EOS) closure. The EOS closure fails to capture the intricacies of the nonlinear pressure when high frequency electron plasma waves (EPWs) couple to low frequency ion acoustic waves (IAWs). In particular, we find discrepancies in the k lambda(d) scaling of the LDI growth rate, where k is the wavenumber of the incident EPW and lambda(d) is the Debye length. As a result, the kinetic dispersion relation for LDI results in instability thresholds that can be in excess of twice those predicted by the fluid theory. Both the fluid and kinetic dispersion relations predict a nonlinear frequency shift due to the beating of the pump and scattered EPWs, but again the k lambda(d) scaling of these frequency shifts differ. In addition, the kinetic dispersion predicts a nonlinear reduction in the IAW damping from the three-wave interaction. (C) 2009 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3234245] C1 [Palastro, J.

TI Validation of on- and off-axis neutral beam current drive against experiment in DIII-D SO PHYSICS OF PLASMAS LA English DT Article ID TOKAMAK PLASMAS; ARBITRARY COLLISIONALITY; NEOCLASSICAL TRANSPORT; BOOTSTRAP CURRENT; OPERATION; CONFINEMENT; PROFILES; IONS AB Neutral beam current drive (NBCD) experiments in DIII-D using vertically shifted plasmas to move the current drive away from the axis have clearly demonstrated robust off-axis NBCD. Time-dependent measurements of magnetic field pitch angles by the motional Stark effect diagnostic are used to obtain the evolution of the poloidal magnetic flux, which indicates a broad off-axis NBCD profile with a peak at about half the plasma minor radius. In most cases, the measured off-axis NBCD profile is consistent with calculations using an orbit-following Monte Carlo code for the beam ion slowing down including finite-orbit effects provided there is no large-scale magnetohydrodynamic activity such as Alfven eigenmodes modes or sawteeth. An alternative analysis method shows good agreement between the measured pitch angles and those from simulations using transport-equilibrium codes. Two-dimensional image of Doppler-shifted fast ion D(alpha) light emitted by neutralized energetic ions shows clear evidence for a hollow profile of beam ion density, consistent with classical beam ion slowing down. The magnitude of off-axis NBCD is sensitive to the alignment of the beam injection relative to the helical pitch of the magnetic field lines. If the signs of toroidal magnetic field and plasma current yield the proper helicity, both measurement and calculation indicate that the efficiency is as good as on-axis NBCD because the increased fraction of trapped electrons reduces the electron shielding of the injected ion current, in contrast with electron current drive schemes where the trapping of electrons degrades the efficiency. The measured off-axis NBCD increases approximately linearly with the injection power, although a modest amount of fast ion diffusion is needed to explain an observed difference in the NBCD profile between the measurement and the calculation at high injection power.

Dorf, Mikhail TI Two-stream stability properties of the return-current layer for intense ion beam propagation through background plasma SO PHYSICS OF PLASMAS LA English DT Article ID CHARGED-PARTICLE BEAM; MAGNETIC-FIELD; PULSE NEUTRALIZATION AB When an ion beam with sharp edge propagates through a background plasma, its current is neutralized by the plasma return current everywhere except at the beam edge over a characteristic transverse distance Delta x(perpendicular to) similar to delta(pe), where delta(pe) = c/omega(pe) is the collisionless skin depth and omega(pe) is the electron plasma frequency. Because the background plasma electrons neutralizing the ion beam current inside the beam are streaming relative to the background plasma electrons outside the beam, the background plasma can support a two-stream surface-mode excitation. Such surface modes have been studied previously assuming complete charge and current neutralization, and have been shown to be strongly unstable. In this paper we study the detailed stability properties of this two-stream surface mode for an electron flow velocity profile self-consistently driven by the ion beam. In particular, it is shown that the self-magnetic field generated inside the unneutralized current layer, which has not been taken into account previously, completely eliminates the instability.

Identification of the W family of proteins that repress JA responses has facilitated rapid progress in understanding how this lipid-derived hormone controls gene expression. Recent analysis of JAZ proteins has provided insight into the nature of the JA receptor, the chemical specificity of signal perception, and cross-talk between JA and other hormone response pathways. Functional diversification of JAZ proteins by alternative splicing, together with the ability of JAZ proteins to homo- and heterodimerize, provide mechanisms to enhance combinatorial diversity and versatility in gene regulation by JA.

Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) contains two genes, UGT80A2 and UGT80B1, that encode UDP-Glc: sterol glycosyltransferases, enzymes that catalyze the synthesis of SGs. Lines having mutations in UGT80A2, UGT80B1, or both UGT80A2 and UGT8B1 were identified and characterized. The ugt80A2 lines were viable and exhibited relatively minor effects on plant growth. Conversely, ugt80B1 mutants displayed an array of phenotypes that were pronounced in the embryo and seed. Most notable was the finding that ugt80B1 was allelic to transparent testa15 and displayed a transparent testa phenotype and a reduction in seed size. In addition to the role of UGT80B1 in the deposition of flavanoids, a loss of suberization of the seed was apparent in ugt80B1 by the lack of autofluorescence at the hilum region. Moreover, in ugt80B1, scanning and transmission electron microscopy reveals that the outer integument of the seed coat lost the electron-dense cuticle layer at its surface and displayed altered cell morphology. Gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry of lipid polyester monomers confirmed a drastic decrease in aliphatic suberin and cutin-like polymers that was associated with an inability to limit tetrazolium salt uptake. The findings suggest a membrane function for SGs and acyl SGs in trafficking of lipid polyester precursors. An ancillary observation was that cellulose biosynthesis was unaffected in the double mutant, inconsistent with a predicted role for SGs in priming cellulose synthesis.

TI Escape from Autologous Neutralizing Antibodies in Acute/Early Subtype C HIV-1 Infection Requires Multiple Pathways SO PLOS PATHOGENS LA English DT Article ID IMMUNODEFICIENCY-VIRUS TYPE-1; HUMAN MONOCLONAL-ANTIBODIES; EXTRACELLULAR ENVELOPE GLYCOPROTEIN; MEMORY B-CELLS; LINKED GLYCOSYLATION; AIDS PATIENTS; MAJOR TARGET; ENV CLONES; HTLV-III; IN-VIVO AB One aim for an HIV vaccine is to elicit neutralizing antibodies (Nab) that can limit replication of genetically diverse viruses and prevent establishment of a new infection. Thus, identifying the strengths and weaknesses of Nab during the early stages of natural infection could prove useful in achieving this goal. Here we demonstrate that viral escape readily occurred despite the development of high titer autologous Nab in two subjects with acute/early subtype C infection. To provide a detailed portrayal of the escape pathways, Nab resistant variants identified at multiple time points were used to create a series of envelope (Env) glycoprotein chimeras and mutants within the background of a corresponding newly transmitted Env. In one subject, Nab escape was driven predominantly by changes in the region of gp120 that extends from the beginning of the V3 domain to the end of the V5 domain (V3V5). However, Nab escape pathways in this subject oscillated and at times required cooperation between V1V2 and the gp41 ectodomain. In the second subject, escape was driven by changes in V1V2. This V1V2-dependent escape pathway was retained over time, and its utility was reflected in the virus's ability to escape from two distinct monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) derived from this same patient via introduction of a single potential N-linked glycosylation site in V2. Spatial representation of the sequence changes in gp120 suggested that selective pressure acted upon the same regions of Env in these two subjects, even though the Env domains that drove escape were different. Together the findings argue that a single mutational pathway is not sufficient to confer escape in early subtype C HIV-1 infection, and support a model in which multiple strategies, including potential glycan shifts, direct alteration of an epitope sequence, and cooperative Env domain conformational masking, are used to evade neutralization.

A number of techniques were used to investigate the chemical and physical changes in PTFE after exposure to a-radiation. These techniques include: Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and fluorescence spectroscopy. Similar to other radiation types at low doses, the primary damage mechanism for the exposure of PTFE to a-radiation appears to be chain scission. Increased doses result in a change-over of the damage mechanism to cross-linking. This result is not observed for any radiation type other than alpha when irradiation is performed at room temperature. Finally, at high doses, PTFE undergoes mass-loss (via small-fluorocarbon species evolution) and defluorination. The amount and type of damage versus sample depth was also investigated. Other types of radiation yield damage at depths on the order of mm to cm into PTFE due to low linear energy transfer (LET) and the correspondingly large penetration depths. By contrast, the alpha-radiation employed in this study was shown to only induce damage to a depth of approximately 26 mu m, except at very high doses. (c) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

TI Incorporating model quality information in climate change detection and attribution studies SO PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA LA English DT Article DE climate modeling; multimodel database; water vapor ID OCEAN-ATMOSPHERE MODELS; GLOBAL CLIMATE; TEMPERATURE; SIMULATIONS; PERFORMANCE; ENSEMBLE; TRENDS AB In a recent multimodel detection and attribution (D&A) study using the pooled results from 22 different climate models, the simulated "fingerprint" pattern of anthropogenically caused changes in water vapor was identifiable with high statistical confidence in satellite data. Each model received equal weight in the D&A analysis, despite large differences in the skill with which they simulate key aspects of observed climate. Here, we examine whether water vapor D&A results are sensitive to model quality. The "top10" and "bottom 10" models are selected with three different sets of skill measures and two different ranking approaches. The entire D&A analysis is then repeated with each of these different sets of more or less skillful models. Our performance metrics include the ability to simulate the mean state, the annual cycle, and the variability associated with El Nino. We find that estimates of an anthropogenic water vapor fingerprint are insensitive to current model uncertainties, and are governed by basic physical processes that are well-represented in climate models. Because the fingerprint is both robust to current model uncertainties and dissimilar to the dominant noise patterns, our ability to identify an anthropogenic influence on observed multidecadal changes in water vapor is not affected by "screening" based on model quality.

Here, we reveal that differences in cell motility can also lead to cell sorting within tissues. Using mosaic engineered mammary epithelial tubules, we found that cells sorted depending on their expression level of the membrane-anchored collagenase matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-14. These rearrangements were independent of the catalytic activity of MMP14 but absolutely required the hemopexin domain. We describe a signaling cascade downstream of MMP14 through Rho kinase that allows cells to sort within the model tissues. Cell speed and persistence time were enhanced by MMP14 expression, but only the latter motility parameter was required for sorting. These results indicate that differential directional persistence can give rise to patterns within model developing tissues.

Recent phosphoproteomic studies in mammalian and yeast mitochondria have presented evidence indicating that protein phosphorylation is a likely regulatory mechanism across a broad range of important mitochondrial processes. This study investigated protein phosphorylation in purified mitochondria from cell suspensions of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana using affinity enrichment and proteomic tools. Eighteen putative phospho-proteins consisting of mitochondrial metabolic enzymes, HSPs, a protease and several proteins of unknown function were detected on 2-DE separations of Arabidopsis mitochondrial proteins and affinity-enriched phosphoproteins using the Pro-Q Diamond phospho-specific in-gel dye. Comparisons with mitochondrial phosphoproteomes of yeast and mouse indicate that these three species share few validated phosphoproteins. Phosphorylation sites for seven of the eighteen mitochondrial proteins were characterized by titanium dioxide enrichment and MS/MS. In the process, 71 phosphopeptides from Arabidopsis proteins which are not present in mitochondria but found as contaminants in various types of mitochondrial preparations were also identified, indicating the low level of phosphorylation of mitochondrial components compared with other cellular components in Arabidopsis. Information gained from this study provides a better understanding of protein phosphorylation at both the subcellular and the cellular level in Arabidopsis.

We divide the population into two groups: committed voters impervious to polling data, and susceptible voters whose decision to vote is influenced by data, depending on its reliability. This population-based approach to modeling the process sidesteps the problem of upscaling models based upon the choices made by individuals. We find releasing poll data is not advantageous to leading candidates, but it can be exploited by those closely trailing. The analysis identifies the particular type of voting impetus at play in different stages of an election and could help strategists optimize their influence on susceptible voters.

The software is designed with the primary goal of using SNe Ia as distance indicators for the determination of cosmological parameters, but it can also be used to study efficiencies for analyses of SN rates, estimate contamination from non-Ia SNe, and optimize future surveys. Several SN models are available within the same software architecture, allowing technical features such as K-corrections to be consistently used among multiple models, and thus making it easier to make detailed comparisons between models. New and improved light-curve models can be easily added. The software works with arbitrary surveys and telescopes and has already been used by several collaborations, leading to more robust and easy-to-use code. This software is not intended as a final product release, but rather it is designed to undergo continual improvements from the community as more is learned about SNe. We give an overview of the SNANA capabilities, as well as some of its limitations. C1 [Kessler, Richard; Frieman, Joshua A.] Univ Chicago, Dept Astron & Astrophys, Chicago, IL 60637 USA.

Published GPS data show an uplift of about 13 +/- A 5 mm/a near the ice margin. A gravity decrease of -2 +/- A 1 mu Gal/a relative to the Hofn base station, was observed for the same sites. Control measurements at the Hofn station showed a gravity decrease of -2 +/- A 0.5 A mu Gal/a relative to the station RVIK 5473 at Reykjavik (about 250 km from Hofn). This is compatible, as a Bouguer effect, with a 10 +/- A 3 mm/a uplift rate of the IGS point at Hofn and an uplift rate of similar to 20 mm/a near the ice margin. Although the derived gravity change rates at individual sites have large uncertainties, the ensemble of the rates varies systematically and significantly with distance from the ice. The relationship between gravity and elevation changes and the shrinking ice mass is modelled as response to the loading history. The GPS data can be explained by 1-D modelling (i.e., an earth model with a 15-km thick elastic lithosphere and a 7 center dot 10(17) Pa center dot s asthenosphere viscosity), but not the gravity data. Based on 2-D modelling, the gravity data favour a low-viscosity plume in the form of a cylinder of 80 km radius and 10(17) to 10(18) Pa center dot s viscosity below a 6 km-thick elastic lid, embedded in a layered PREM-type earth, although the elevation data are less well explained by this model. Strain-porosity-hydrology effects are likely to enhance the magnitude of the gravity changes, but need verification by drilling. More accurate data may resolve the discrepancies or suggest improved models.

TI A Graphical Approach for Assessing Optimal Operating Conditions in Robust Design SO QUALITY TECHNOLOGY AND QUANTITATIVE MANAGEMENT LA English DT Article DE Graphical approach; MSE; noise factors; robust parameter design; statistical process control AB The determination of optimal operating conditions in robust parameter design often involves the use of an objective function such as the mean squared error of the response along with graphical overlays of the estimated process mean and variance functions. Existing graphical methods in robust design have limitations when more than two control factors are involved, since visualizing the entire control design space becomes difficult with many control factors. Here we present a new graphical technique for assessing optimal operating conditions which is based upon the estimated proportion of items within specification limits. The new plots offer users the ability to compare competing sets of optimal operating conditions, to assess possible assumption violations regarding the distribution of the noise factors, and the opportunity to observe the shape of the response distribution as it relates to stated specification limits. An example from manufacturing serves as the basis for illustration. C1 [Abraham, Anu A.] HSBC, Credit Policy Risk, Las Vegas, NV USA.

TI Automated Method for Reducing Scheffe Linear Mixture Experiment Models SO QUALITY TECHNOLOGY AND QUANTITATIVE MANAGEMENT LA English DT Article DE Backward reduction of mixture experiment models; combine mixture components; eliminate mixture components; linear mixture experiment model; mixture component effects; model reduction ID COMPONENTS; TERMS AB In developing models for mixture experiments, the first step typically involves fitting a complete Scheffe linear mixture (SLM) model using all components varied in the experiment. It next may be desirable to reduce a complete SLM model by (i) eliminating (in a way appropriate for mixture experiments) components that have negligible effects and (ii) combining components that have similar effects. Standard methods for reducing non-mixture linear models, such as t-tests and variable-selection techniques, are not applicable for reducing SLM models. In the mixture experiment literature, a time-consuming, manual iterative approach has been used to reduce SLM models. Automatic and semi-automatic versions of a method for backward reduction of SLM models are proposed to eliminate components (in a way appropriate for mixture experiments) or combine components. The method uses associated partial F-tests to guide the model reduction steps. The method allows for specifying (i) components that must remain in the model, (ii) components that can (or cannot) be combined, and (iii) the stopping criterion. The method is illustrated using examples from the literature. C1 [Piepel, Greg F.; Cooley, Scott K.] Battelle Pacific NW Div, Stat & Sensor Analyt Grp, Richland, WA USA.

Betula expansion and contraction of herb tundra vegetation characterize the Younger Dryas on the Kenai, suggesting increased winter snowfall concurrent with cool, sunny summers. Remarkable Polypodiaceae (fern) abundance between 11,500 and 8500 cal yr BP implies a significant change in climate. Enhanced peat preservation and the occurrence of wet meadow species suggest high moisture from 11,500 to 10,700 cal yr BP, in contrast to drier conditions in southeastern Alaska; this pattern may indicate an intensification and repositioning of the Aleutian Low (AL). Drier conditions oil the Kenai Peninsula from 10,700 to 8500 call yr BP may signify a weaker AL, but elevated fern abundance may have been sustained by high seasonality with substantial snowfall and enhanced glacial melt. Decreased insolation-induced seasonality resulted in climatic cooling after 8500 cal yr BP, with increased humidity from 8000 to 5000 cal yr BP. A dry interval punctuated by volcanic activity occurred between 5000 and 3500 call yr BP, followed by cool, moist climate, coincident with Neoglaciation. Tsuga mertensiana expanded after similar to 1500 cal yr BP in response to the shift to cooler conditions. (C) 2009 University of Washington. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Prominent absorptions were observed in the region of 900 to 1300 cm(-1) that are characteristic of phosphate P=O and P-O-R stretches. The relative positions and intensities of the IR absorptions were reproduced well by density functional theory (DFT) calculations performed using the B3LYP functional and the 6-31+G(d), 6-311+G(d,p) and 6-311++G(3df,2pd) basis sets. Because of good correspondence between experiment and theory for the cation, DFT was then used to generate a theoretical spectrum for neutral triethylphosphate, which in turn accurately reproduces the IR spectrum of the neat liquid when solvent effects are included in the calculations.

TI Enhancing a leaf radiative transfer model to estimate concentrations and in vivo specific absorption coefficients of total carotenoids and chlorophylls a and b from single-needle reflectance and transmittance SO REMOTE SENSING OF ENVIRONMENT LA English DT Article DE AVIRIS; Canopy; Carotenoid; Chlorophyll; Hyperspectral; Leaf; LIBERTY; Model; Needle; Optical; Pigment; Pine; PROSPECT; Radiative transfer; Remote sensing; Vegetation ID OPTICAL-PROPERTIES MODEL; HYPERSPECTRAL DATA; PROSPECT; FOREST; PIGMENTS; SPECTRA; FLUORESCENCE; VEGETATION; INVERSION; INDEXES AB The relative concentrations of different pigments within a leaf have significant physiological and spectral consequences. Photosynthesis, light use efficiency, mass and energy exchange, and stress response are dependent on relationships among an ensemble of pigments. This ensemble also determines the visible characteristics of a leaf, which can be measured remotely and used to quantify leaf biochemistry and structure. But current remote sensing approaches are limited in their ability to resolve individual pigments. This paper focuses on the incorporation of three pigments-chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and total carotenoids-into the LIBERTY leaf radiative transfer model to better understand relationships between leaf biochemical, biophysical, and spectral properties. Pinus ponderosa and Pinus jeffreyi needles were collected from three sites in the California Sierra Nevada. Hemispheric single-leaf visible reflectance and transmittance and concentrations of chlorophylls a and b and total carotenoids of fresh needles were measured. These data were input to the enhanced LIBERTY model to estimate optical and biochemical properties of pine needles. The enhanced model successfully estimated reflectance (RMSE = 0.0255, BIAS = 0.00477, RMS%E = 16.7%), had variable success estimating transmittance (RMSE = 0.0442, BIAS = 0.0294, RMS%E = 181%), and generated very good estimates of carotenoid concentrations (RMSE = 2.48 mu g/cm(2), BIAS = 0.143 mu g/cm(2), RMS%E = 20.4%), good estimates of chlorophyll a concentrations (RMSE = 10.7 mu g/cm(2), BIAS = -0.992 mu g/cm(2), RMS%E = 21.1%), and fair estimates of chlorophyll b concentrations (RMSE = 7.49 mu g/cm(2), BIAS = -2.12 mu g/cm(2), RMS%E = 43.7%). Overall root mean squared errors of reflectance, transmittance, and pigment concentration estimates were lower for the three-pigment model than for the single-pigment model. The algorithm to estimate three in vivo specific absorption coefficients is robust, although estimated values are distorted by inconsistencies in model biophysics. The capacity to invert the model from single-leaf reflectance and transmittance was added to the model so it could be coupled with vegetation canopy models to estimate canopy biochemistry from remotely sensed data.

TI Linearized superconducting quantum interference device array for high bandwidth frequency-domain readout multiplexing SO REVIEW OF SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS LA English DT Article ID STRONG ELECTROTHERMAL FEEDBACK; BOLOMETER; SENSORS AB We have designed and demonstrated a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) array linearized with cryogenic feedback. To achieve the necessary loop gain, a 300-element series array SQUID is constructed from three monolithic 100-element series arrays. A feedback resistor completes the loop from the SQUID output to the input coil. The short feedback path of this linearized SQUID array (LISA) allows for a substantially larger flux-locked loop bandwidth as compared to a SQUID flux-locked loop that includes a room temperature amplifier. The bandwidth, linearity, noise performance, and 3 Phi(0) dynamic range of the LISA are sufficient for its use in our target application: the multiplexed readout of transition-edge sensor bolometers.

The Seeman-Bohlin-type camera presented here is ideally suited for time-resolved x-ray diffraction measurements performed on high energy multibeam laser platforms. Diffraction from several lattice planes of ablatively shock-loaded 25 mu m thick Cu foils was recorded on a focusing circle of diameter D = 100 mm with exceptional angular resolution limited only by the spectral broadening of the x-ray source. Excellent agreement was found between the density measured using x-ray diffraction and that inferred from Doppler velocimetry and the known shock Hugoniot of Cu. In addition, x-ray diffraction signal was captured from an amorphous material under static conditions. (C) 2009 American Institute of Physics.

A microbe for consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) development can rapidly degrade pure cellulose and then ferment the resulting sugars into fuels. To identify and screen for novel microbes for CBP, we have developed a piezoresistive cantilever array sensor which is capable of simultaneous monitoring of glucose and ethanol concentration changes in a phosphate buffer solution. 4-mercaptophenylboronic acid and polyethyleneglycol-thiol are employed to functionalize each piezoresistive cantilever for glucose and ethanol sensing, respectively. Successful concentration measurements of glucose and ethanol with minimal interferences are obtained with our cantilever array sensor. SCANNING 31: 204-210, 2009. (C) 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Eleven short sediment cores (10 cm length) collected from the delta found monomethylmercury (MMHg) concentrations ranging from 0.3 to 11.4 ng/g (dry wt.), with lower concentrations occurring at the vegetated marsh and upstream channel locations. Algal mats common to the delta's sediment surface had MMHg concentrations ranging from 7.5 to 31.5 ng/g. and the top 1 cm of sediment directly under the mats had two times greater MMHg concentrations compared to adjacent locations without algal covering. Spatial trends in resident biota reflect enhanced MMHg uptake at the delta compared to other bay locations. Eighteen sediment cores, 1 to 2 m deep, collected from the 1.2 km(2) delta provide an estimate of a total mercury (Hg) inventory of 2500 +/- 500 kg. Sediment Hg concentrations ranged from pre-mining background conditions of approximately 0.1 mu g/g to a post-mining maximum of 5 mu g/g. Sediment accumulation rates were determined from three sediment cores using measured differences of (137)Cs activity. We estimate a pre-mining Hg accumulation of less than 20 kg/yr, and a period of maximum Hg accumulation in the 1970s and 1980s with loading rates greater than 50 kg/yr, corresponding to the failure of a tailings dam at the mine site. At the time of sampling (2003) over 40 kg/yr of Hg was still accumulating at the delta, indicating limited recovery. We attribute observed spatial evolution of elevated Hg levels to ongoing inputs and sediment reworking, and estimate the inventory of the anthropogenic fraction of total Hg to be at least 1500 +/- 300 kg. We suggest ongoing sediment inputs and methylation at the deltaic surface support enhanced mercury levels for resident biota and transfer to higher trophic levels throughout the Bay.

The evolution of the residual stresses during natural aging was investigated by neutron diffraction up to 10,000 h. A data reduction method was developed to eliminate microstructure influences (solute variations) on the lattice spacing changes, thereby allowing the determination of the long-range macroscopic residual stresses. The residual stress decreased (similar to 25 MPa) with time due to the microstructural modification within the deformed region during natural aging. (C) 2009 Acta Materialia Inc.

A tensor is a multidimensional or N-way array. Decompositions of higher-order tensors (i.e., N-way arrays with N >= 3) have applications in psychometrics, chemometrics, signal processing, numerical linear algebra, computer vision, numerical analysis, data mining, neuroscience, graph analysis, and elsewhere. Two particular tensor decompositions can be considered to be higher-order extensions of the matrix singular value decomposition: CANDECOMP/PARAFAC (CP) decomposes a tensor as a sum of rank-one tensors, and the Tucker decomposition is a higher-order form of principal component analysis. There are many other tensor decompositions, including INDSCAL, PARAFAC2, CANDELINC, DEDICOM, and PARATUCK2 as well as nonnegative variants of all of the above. The N-way Toolbox, Tensor Toolbox, and Multilinear Engine are examples of software packages for working with tensors.

Moutinho, Helio TI Development of CIGS2 solar cells with lower absorber thickness SO SOLAR ENERGY LA English DT Article DE CIGS2; Absorber thickness; Thin-film solar cells ID PERFORMANCE AB The availability and cost of materials, especially of indium can be a limiting factor as chalcopyrite based thin-film solar cells advance in their commercialization. The required amounts of metals can be lowered by using thinner films. When the thickness of the film decreases, there is possibility of remaining only in the small grain region because the coalescence of grains does not have an opportunity to enhance the grain size to the maximum. Solar cell performance in smaller grain chalcopyrite absorber deteriorates due to larger fraction of grain boundaries. Efforts are being made to reduce the thickness while maintaining the comparable performance. This work presents a study of preparation, morphology and other material properties of CIGS2 absorber layers with decreasing thicknesses up to 1.2 mu m and its correlation with the device performance. Encouraging results were obtained demonstrating that reasonable solar cell efficiencies (>10%) can be achieved even for thinner CIGS2 thin-film solar cells. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

In this paper we report the results of the effect of temperature and 8 MeV electron irradiation on the electrical characteristics of ZnO/CdS/Cu(In,Ga)Se-2/Mo polycrystalline thin-film solar cells under forward and reverse bias studied in the temperature range 270-315 K. The solar cells were subjected to 8 MeV electron irradiation front the Microtron accelerator and were exposed to graded doses of electrons up to 75 kGy. I-V characteristics of the cells under dark and AM 1.5 illumination condition were studied before and after the irradiation. Capacitance measurements were also carried out at various frequencies before and after irradiation. In the measured temperature range, the dark current contribution is due to the generation-recombination of the minority carriers in the depletion region. The ideality factor is found to decrease with increase in temperature. It seems that electron irradiation has not altered the dark current conduction mechanism significantly. The effect of electron irradiation on the solar cell parameters such as fill factor (FF), conversion efficiency (eta), saturation current (I-o), short Circuit Current (I-sc), open circuit voltage (V-oc), and ideality factor (n) was studied. They were found to be stable up to 75 kGy of electron dose as only small changes were observed in the solar cell parameters. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

It is shown that the Mott-Nabarro theory is not able to explain the concentration dependence of the measured microhardness, as is possible in some similar Kondo alloy systems containing Ce and U. Interestingly enough, while microhardness increases with the Yb content in YbxLu1-xAl3 it decreases with Yb in the YbxY1-xInCu4 alloy system. Therefore, we try to explain the experimental data, taking into account the difference of the electronic structure and the change of the electronic structure with alloying in both systems.

TI Evidence for highly localized damage in internal tin and powder-in-tube Nb3Sn strands rolled before reaction obtained from coupled magneto-optical imaging and confocal laser scanning microscopy SO SUPERCONDUCTOR SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article ID FIELD ACCELERATOR MAGNETS; RUTHERFORD CABLE; PERFORMANCE; CONDUCTORS; SUPERCONDUCTORS; DEFORMATION; GRADIENTS AB Nb3Sn strands for high-current, high-field magnets must be cabled before reaction while the conductor is still composed of ductile components. Even though still in the ductile, deformable state, significant damage can occur in this step, which expresses itself by inhomogeneous A15 formation, Sn leakage or even worse effects during later reaction. In this study, we simulate cabling damage by rolling recent high performance powder-in-tube (PIT) and internal tin (IT) strands in controlled increments, applying standard Nb3Sn reaction heat treatments, and then examining the local changes using magneto-optical imaging (MOI), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). These combined characterizations allow any local damage to the filament architecture to be made clear. MOI directly reveals the local variation of superconductivity while CLSM is extremely sensitive in revealing Sn leakage beyond the diffusion barrier into the stabilizing Cu. These techniques reveal a markedly different response to deformation by the PIT and IT strands. The study demonstrates that these tools can provide a local, thorough, and detailed view of how strands degrade and thus complement more complex extracted strand studies. C1 [Polyanskii, A.

Two different surface models with atoms of various coordination (3-5) were used, one derived from a defected spinel structure, and another derived from the dehydration of boehmite (AlOOH). Adsorption energies are similar for the two surfaces, about -2 eV for the most stable sites, and involve Pt binding to surface O atoms. An unusually strong trapping geometry whereby Pt moves into the surface was identified over the boehmite-derived surface. In all cases the surface transfers similar to 0.2-0.3 e(-) to the Pt atom. The bonding is explained as being a combination of charge transfer between the surface and Pt atom, polarization of the metal atom, and some weak covalent bonding. The similarity of the two surfaces is attributed to the similar local environments of the surface atoms, as corroborated by geometry analysis, density of states, and Bader charge analysis. Calculated activation barriers (0.3-0.5 eV) for the defected spinel surface indicate fast diffusion and a kinetic Monte Carlo model incorporated these barriers to determine exact diffusion rates and behavior. The kinetic Monte Carlo results indicate that at low temperatures (<500 K) the Pt atom can become trapped at certain surface regions, which could explain why the sintering process is hindered at low temperature. Finally we modeled the adsorption of Pt on hydrated surfaces and found adsorption to be weaker due to steric repulsion and/or decreased electron-donating ability of the surface.

It is demonstrated that sulphate and BC aerosols in China both have the effects to weaken East Asia monsoons in both summer and winter seasons. However, they certainly differ from each other in affecting vertical structures of temperature and atmospheric circulations. Their differences are expected because of their distinct optical properties, that is, scattering versus absorbing. Even for a single type of aerosol, its effects on temperature structures and atmospheric circulations are largely season-dependent. Applications of T-test on our results indicate that forcing from BC aerosols over China is relatively weak and limited. It is also evident from our results that the effects of synthetic aerosols (sulphate and BC together) on monsoons are not simply a linear summation between these two types of aerosols. Instead, they are determined by their integrated optical properties. Synthetic aerosols to a large degree resemble effects of sulphate aerosols. This implies a likely scattering property for the integration of BC and sulphate aerosols in China. C1 [Liu, Yu] Chinese Acad Meteorol Sci, Beijing 100081, Peoples R China.

This HTO reactor combines Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) imaging and Raman spectroscopy for high throughput catalyst evaluation and simultaneously for catalyst characterization under operando conditions. The catalyst activity and selectivity of all parallel reaction channels were followed at a time resolution of 2-20 s by the FT-IR imaging system that offers a spatial resolution of 16,384 pixels over a 2 x 2 inches illuminated cross-section area. Six specialized Raman probes were used to simultaneously collect Raman spectra of the catalyst surfaces and reaction intermediates under operando conditions. The structural variation of the MoO3/SiO2 catalysts with different molybdenum loadings and their catalytic performance at various temperatures were determined. The HTO reactor with the integrated imaging techniques allowed us to track the catalytic activities and the surface morphologies for multiple samples under various operando conditions.

TI Simultaneous MS-IR Studies of Surface Formate Reactivity Under Methanol Synthesis Conditions on Cu/SiO2 SO TOPICS IN CATALYSIS LA English DT Article DE SSITKA; Surface species; Formate; Cu/SiO2; Infrared; Mass spectrometry; Methanol synthesis ID WATER-GAS SHIFT; SUPPORTED COPPER-CATALYSTS; FORMIC-ACID; PT/CEO2 CATALYST; CU(111) SURFACE; DECOMPOSITION; HYDROGENATION; TEMPERATURE; MECHANISM; KINETICS AB The coverages and surface lifetimes of copper-bound formates on Cu/SiO2 catalysts, and the steady-state rates of reverse water-gas shift and methanol synthesis have been measured simultaneously by mass (MS) and infrared (IR) spectroscopies under a variety of elevated pressure conditions at temperatures between 140 and 160 A degrees C. DCOO lifetimes under steady state catalytic conditions in CO2:D-2 atmospheres were measured by C-12-C-13 isotope transients (SSITKA). The values range from 220 s at 160 A degrees C to 660 s at 140 A degrees C. The catalytic rates of both reverse water gas shift (RWGS) and methanol synthesis are similar to 100-fold slower than this formate removal rate back to CO2 + 1/2 H-2, and thus they do not significantly influence the formate lifetime or coverage at steady state. The formate coverage is instead determined by formate's rapid production/decomposition equilibrium with gas phase CO2 + H-2. The results are consistent with formate being an intermediate in methanol synthesis, but with the rate-controlling step being after formate production (for example, its further hydrogenation to methoxy). A 2-3 fold shorter life time (faster decomposition rate) was observed for formate under reactions conditions, with both D-2 and CO2 present, than in pure Ar or D-2 + Ar alone. This effect, due in part to the effects of the coadsorbates produced under reaction conditions, illustrates the importance of using in situ techniques in the study of catalytic mechanisms. The carbon which appears in the methanol product spends a longer time on the surface than the formate species, 1.8 times as long at 140 A degrees C. The additional delay on the surface is attributed in part to readsorption of methanol on the catalyst, thus obscuring the mechanistic link between formate and methanol. C1 [Mims, C.

Scott TI Effect of annealing on two different niobium-clad stainless steel PEMFC bipolar plate materials SO TRANSACTIONS OF NONFERROUS METALS SOCIETY OF CHINA LA English DT Article CT 1st International Symposium on Hybrid Materials and Processing (HyMaP 2008) CY OCT 27-29, 2008 CL Busan, SOUTH KOREA DE clad sheet; bipolar plate; proton exchange membrane fuel cell; annealing ID POLYMER FUEL-CELLS AB Niobium (Nb)-clad stainless steels(SS) produced via roll bonding are being considered for use in the bipolar plates of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell(PEMFC) stacks. Because the roll bonding process induces substantial work hardening in the constituent materials, thermal annealing is used to restore ductility to the clad sheet so that it can be subsequently blanked, stamped and dimpled in forming the final plate component, Two roll bonded materials, niobium clad 340L stainless steel (Nb/340L SS) and niobium clad 434 stainless steel (Nb/434 SS) were annealed under optimized conditions prescribed by the cladding manufacturer. Comparative mechanical testing conducted on each material before and after annealing shows significant improvement in ductility in both cases. However, corresponding microstructural analyses indicate,in obvious difference between the two heat treated materials. During annealing, an interlayer with thick less than 1 mu m forms between the constituent layers in the Nb/340L SS, whereas no interlayer is found in the annealed Nb/434 SS material. Prior work suggests that internal defects potentially can be generated in such an interlayer during metal forming operations. Thus, Nb/434 SS may he the preferred candidate material for this application. C1 [Hong, Sung-Tae] Univ Ulsan, Sch Mech & Automot Engn, Ulsan 680749, South Korea.
