AB A simple and automated spot sampling operation mode for a liquid microjunction surface sampling probe/electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LMJ-SSP/ESI-MS) system is reported. Prior manual and automated spot sampling methods with this probe relied on a careful, relatively slow alignment of the probe and surface distance (<20 mu m spacing) to form the probe-to-surface liquid microjunction critical to successful surface sampling. Moreover, sampling multiple spots required retraction of the surface from the probe and a repeat of this careful probe-to-surface distance alignment at the next sampling position. With the method described here, the probe was not positioned as close to the surface, the exact probe-to-surface positioning was found to be less critical (spanning distances from about 100-300 mu m), and this distance was not altered during the sampling of an entire array of sample spots. With the probe positioned within the appropriate distance from the surface, the liquid microjunction was formed by letting the liquid from the sampling end of the probe extend out from the probe to the surface. This was accomplished by reducing the self-aspiration liquid flow rate of the probe to a value less than the volume flow rate pumped into the probe. When the self-aspiration rate of the probe was subsequently increased, analytes on the surface that dissolved at the liquid microjunction were aspirated back into the probe with the liquid that created the liquid microjunction and electrosprayed. Presented here are the basics of this new sampling mode, as well as data that illustrate the potential analytical capabilities of the device to conduct high-throughput quantitative analysis.

AB Motivation: Quantitative mass spectrometry-based proteomics requires protein-level estimates and associated confidence measures. Challenges include the presence of low quality or incorrectly identified peptides and informative missingness. Furthermore, models are required for rolling peptide-level information up to the protein level.
Results: We present a statistical model that carefully accounts for informative missingness in peak intensities and allows unbiased, model-based, protein-level estimation and inference. The model is applicable to both label-based and label-free quantitation experiments. We also provide automated, model-based, algorithms for filtering of proteins and peptides as well as imputation of missing values. Two LC/MS datasets are used to illustrate the methods. In simulation studies, our methods are shown to achieve substantially more discoveries than standard alternatives.

AB Engineering costly cellulases on natural cellulosic substrates is of importance for emerging biomass-based biorefineries. Directed enzyme evolution is becoming a popular tool, but identification of desired mutants from a large mutant library remains challenging sometimes. In this work, we demonstrated a novel combinatorial selection/screening strategy for finding thermostable beta-glucosidase on its natural substrate-cellobiose. First, selection was conducted through complementation of beta-glucosidase for non-cellobiose-utilizing Escherichia coli so that only the cells expressing active beta-glucosidase can grow on a M9 synthetic medium with cellobiose as the sole carbon source (selection plate). Second, the clones on the selection plates were duplicated by using nylon membranes. After heat treatment, the nylon membranes were overlaid on M9/cellobiose screening plates so that remaining activities of thermostable beta-glucosidase mutants hydrolyzed cellobiose on the screening plates to glucose. Third, the growth of an indicator E. coli strain that call Utilize glucose but n ot cellobiose on the screening plates helped detect the thermostable beta-glucosidase mutants oil the selection plates. Several thermostable mutants were identified from a random mutant library of the Paenibacillus polymyxa beta-glucosidase. The most thermostable mutant A17S had an 11-fold increase in the half-life of thermoinactivation at 50 degrees C. Biotechnol. Bioeng. 2009;103: 1087-1094. (C) 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

AB Recruiting a new blood supply is a rate-limiting step in tumor progression. In a three-dimensional model of breast carcinogenesis, disorganized, proliferative transformed breast epithelial cells express significantly higher expression of angiogenic genes compared with their polarized, growth-arrested nonmalignant counterparts. Elevated vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) secretion by malignant cells enhanced recruitment of endothelial cells (EC) in heterotypic cocultures. Significantly, phenotypic reversion of malignant cells via reexpression of HoxD10, which is lost in malignant progression, significantly attenuated VEGF expression in a hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha-independent fashion and reduced EC migration. This was due primarily to restoring polarity: forced proliferation of polarized, nonmalignant cells did not induce VEGF expression and EC recruitment, whereas disrupting the architecture of growth-arrested, reverted cells did. These data show that disrupting cytostructure activates the angiogenic switch even in the absence of proliferation and/or hypoxia and restoring organization of malignant clusters reduces VEGF expression and EC activation to levels found in quiescent nonmalignant epithelium. These data confirm the importance of tissue architecture and polarity in malignant progression. [Cancer Res 2009;69(16):6721-9]

AB The goal of this study was to identify the most suitable chromium-free iron-based catalysts for the HTS (high temperature shift) reaction of a fuel processor using LPG. Hexavalent chromium (Cr(6+)) in the commercial HTS catalyst has been regarded as hazardous material. We selected Ni and Co as the substitution for chromium in the Fe-based HTS catalyst and investigated the HTS activities of these Cr-free catalysts at LPG reformate condition. Cr-free Fe-based catalysts which contain Ni, Zn, or Co instead of Cr were prepared by coprecipitation method and the performance of the catalysts in HTS was evaluated under gas mixture conditions (42% H(2), 10% CO, 37% H(2)O, 8% CO(2), and 3% CH(4); R (reduction factor): about 1.2) similar to the gases from steam reforming of LPG (100% conversion at steam/carbon ratio = 3), which is higher than R (under 1) of typically studied LNG reformate condition. Among the prepared Cr-free Fe-based catalysts, the 5 wt%-Co/Fe/20 wt%-Ni and 5 wt%-Zn/Fe/20 wt%-Ni catalysts showed good catalytic activity under this reaction condition simulating LPG reformate gas.

AB We evaluated whether fitting fluorescence excitation-emission matrices (EEMs) to a previously validated PARAFAC model is an acceptable alternative to building an original model. To do this, we built a 10-component model using 307 EEMs collected from southeast Alaskan soil and streamwater. All 307 EEMs were then fit to the existing model (CM) presented in Cory and McKnight (Environ. Sci. Technol, 2005, 39, 8142-8149), The first approach for evaluating whether the EEMs were fit well to the CM model was an evaluation of the residual EEMs, and we found 22 EEMs were fit poorly by the CM model. Our second measure for verifying whether EEMs were fit well to the CM model was a comparison of correlations between the percent contribution of PARAFAC components and DOM measurements (e.g., dissolved nutrient concentrations), and we found no significant difference (p > 0.05) between the two models. These results support the approach of fitting EEMs to an existing model when DOM is collected from similar environments, which can potentially reduce some of the problems when building an original PARAFAC model. However, it is important to recognize that some of the sensitivity or ecological interpretative power may be lost when fitting EEMs to an existing model.

AB The mixed-valence compound Eu3O4 was prepared by heating an equimolar mixture of EuO and Eu2O3 at 1800 degrees C for 30 h in a sealed tungsten crucible. Room temperature x-ray powder diffraction measurements showed that Eu3O4 is single phase. Magnetic measurements on polycrystalline Eu3O4 are in good agreement with the results reported previously. The heat capacity of Eu3O4 from similar to 2 to 300 K was not reported in the past. The magnetocaloric effect in Eu3O4 was measured for different applied magnetic fields. The magnetic entropy change (-Delta S-mag) calculated from heat capacity data of Eu3O4 is approximately 12.7 J/kg K at 6.5 K for a magnetic field change (Delta B) of 5 T. The adiabatic temperature change (Delta T-ad) in Eu3O4 at 7 K is about 7.0 K for a Delta B of 5 T. Also, the magnetic entropy change (-Delta S-mag) calculated from magnetization data in Eu3O4 is approximately 13.6 J/kg K at 6.3 K for a magnetic field change (Delta B) of 5 T, which is slightly higher than that from the heat capacity data, but is within experimental error. A metamagnetic transition was observed between 0.3 and 0.5 T, however, some antiferromagnetic correlations appear to exist in the magnetically induced ferromagnetic phase at B > 3 T.

AB The formation of amorphous silicon in crystalline silicon by bombardment with light (Si) and heavy (Xe) ions has been investigated by transmission electron microscopy with in situ ion irradiation. Experiments have been carried out at room temperature and low temperature (50 K) and the results are compared to a simple numerical model for amorphization. The results indicate that the amorphization mechanisms for both irradiations are heterogeneous in nature and that numerous overlaps of the collision cascade are generally required to render the crystal amorphous. Following from this, the nature of the material within the confines of collision cascades will be discussed and it will be shown that the individual cascade volume is not necessarily amorphous as previously described in the scientific literature but contains varying degrees of damage depending on the energy deposited within the cascade.

TI Electron Hall mobility in GaAsBi
SO JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS

DT Article
ID BAND-GAP; GAAS1-XBIX; NITROGEN; SEMICONDUCTORS
AB We present measurements of the electron Hall mobility in n-type GaAs(1-x)Bi(x) epilayers. We observed no significant degradation in the electron mobility with Bi incorporation in GaAs, up to a concentration of 1.2%. At higher Bi concentration (>= 1.6%) some degradation of the electron mobility was observed, although there is no apparent trend. Temperature dependent Hall measurements of the electron mobility suggest neutral impurity scattering to be the dominant scattering mechanism. (C) 2009 American Institute of Physics.

AB Experiments have been conducted to measure compressional (V-P) and shear wave (V-S) velocities as well as unit-cell volumes (densities) of molybdenum to 12.0 GPa at room temperature using ultrasonic interferometry in conjunction with synchrotron x-radiation. Both V-P and V-S as well as the adiabatic bulk (K-S) and shear (G) moduli exhibit monotonic increase with increasing pressure. A finite strain equation of state analysis of the directly measured velocities and densities yields K-S0 =260.7(5) GPa, G(0)=125.1(2) GPa, K-S0'=4.7(1), and G(0)'=1.5(1) for the elastic bulk and shear moduli and their pressure derivatives at ambient conditions. Complimentary to the experimental data, V-P and V-S as well as the elastic bulk and shear moduli were also computed using density functional theory (DFT) at pressures comparable to the current experiment. Comparing with experimental results, the velocities and elastic moduli from DFT calculations exhibit close agreement with the current experimental data both in their values as well as in their pressure dependence.

AB The resources devoted to interdicting special nuclear materials have increased considerably over the last several years in step with growing efforts to counter nuclear proliferation and nuclear terrorism. This changing landscape has led to a large amount of research and development that aims to improve the effectiveness of technology now deployed worldwide. Interdicting special nuclear materials is most commonly addressed by detecting and characterizing emitted gamma rays, but modest signature emissions can be obscured by attenuating material and must be differentiated from large and highly variable environmental background emissions. It is a daunting technical challenge to identify special nuclear materials via gamma-ray detection, but a host of new detection technologies is now emerging. This challenge motivates our review of special nuclear material signatures, the physics of detection approaches, emerging technologies, and performance metrics. The use of benchmark gamma-ray sources aids our discussion. (C) 2009 American Institute Of Physics. [DOI: 10.1063/1.3207769]

TI Extrinsic interface formation of HfO2 and Al2O3/GeOx gate stacks on Ge

SO JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS

DT Article
ID PASSIVATION; DIELECTRICS; DEFECTS; SURFACE
AB The extrinsic interfaces present at the HfO2/GeOx/Ge and Al2O3/GeOx/Ge gate stacks are investigated. The effective trapped charge density, estimated from hysteresis in capacitance-voltage characteristics, is higher for HfO2 than for Al2O3, implying qualitatively different charge trapping sources in each dielectric. Spectroscopic ellipsometry and medium energy ion scattering measurements reveal that HfO2 deposition induces the formation of a thicker germanate (intermixed) layer at the HfO2/GeOx interface, where nonstoichiometric Ge-rich GeOx having significantly low bandgap (similar to 1.8 eV) is present. In contrast, Al2O3 deposition leads to an abrupt and thinner O-rich GeOx interfacial layer without Ge-rich GeOx phase. The proposed band alignment indicates that Ge-rich GeOx layer at HfO2/GeOx arises a significant band potential well trapping, while O-rich GeOx layer in Al2O3/GeOx is responsible for a relatively lower charge trapping at band potential well. The combined results strongly suggest that the control of the GeOx interface layers is crucial to reduce the high charge trapping at high-kappa/GeOx/Ge gate stacks.

AB Members of the genus "Dehalococcoides" are the only known microorganisms that can completely dechlorinate tetrachloroethene and trichloroethene to the innocuous end product, ethene. This study examines the central metabolism in "Dehalococcoides ethenogenes" strain 195 via (13)C-labeled tracer experiments. Supported by the genome annotation and the transcript profile, isotopomer analysis of key metabolites clarifies ambiguities in the genome annotation and identifies an unusual biosynthetic pathway in strain 195. First, the (13)C-labeling studies revealed that strain 195 contains complete amino acid biosynthesis pathways, even though current genome annotation suggests that several of these pathways are incomplete. Second, the tricarboxylic acid cycle of strain 195 is confirmed to be branched, and the Wood-Ljungdahl carbon fixation pathway is shown to not be functionally active under our experimental conditions; rather, CO(2) is assimilated via two reactions, conversion of acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl coenzyme A [acetyl-CoA]) to pyruvate catalyzed by pyruvate synthase (DET0724-0727) and pyruvate conversion to oxaloacetate via pyruvate carboxylase (DET0119-0120). Third, the (13)C-labeling studies also suggested that isoleucine is synthesized from acetyl-CoA and pyruvate via citramalate synthase (CimA, EC 2.3.1.182), rather than from the common pathway via threonine ammonia-lyase (EC 4.3.1.19). Finally, evidence is presented that strain 195 may contain an undocumented citrate synthase (>95% Re-type stereospecific), i.e., a novel Re-citrate synthase that is apparently different from the one recently reported in Clostridium kluyveri.

AB We have generated extreme ionizing radiation resistance in a relatively sensitive bacterial species, Escherichia coli, by directed evolution. Four populations of Escherichia coli K-12 were derived independently from strain MG1655, with each specifically adapted to survive exposure to high doses of ionizing radiation. D(37) values for strains isolated from two of the populations approached that exhibited by Deinococcus radiodurans. Complete genomic sequencing was carried out on nine purified strains derived from these populations. Clear mutational patterns were observed that both pointed to key underlying mechanisms and guided further characterization of the strains. In these evolved populations, passive genomic protection is not in evidence. Instead, enhanced recombinational DNA repair makes a prominent but probably not exclusive contribution to genome reconstitution. Multiple genes, multiple alleles of some genes, multiple mechanisms, and multiple evolutionary pathways all play a role in the evolutionary acquisition of extreme radiation resistance. Several mutations in the recA gene and a deletion of the e14 prophage both demonstrably contribute to and partially explain the new phenotype. Mutations in additional components of the bacterial recombinational repair system and the replication restart primosome are also prominent, as are mutations in genes involved in cell division, protein turnover, and glutamate transport. At least some evolutionary pathways to extreme radiation resistance are constrained by the temporally ordered appearance of specific alleles.

AB In situ FTIR spectroscopy coupled with downstream mass spectrometry has been used to clarify the pathways for room temperature (rt) CO oxidation over iron phosphate-supported Au catalyst. The charge state of Au on Au/FePO4 after calcination, reduction, or under reaction conditions was assessed by both FTIR spectroscopy (CO probing) and X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES). Results from both approaches show that cationic gold species dominate the surface after pretreatment in O-2 at 200 degrees C. A portion of the cationic gold on Au/FePO4 can be reduced by the initial CO adsorption at rt, and subsequently repeated CO exposures do not reduce the remaining cationic Au. FIR and Raman results from cycled CO reduction and O-2 reoxidation of Au/FePO4 indicate that there are active structural oxygen species on the surface of Au/FePO4 that can be consumed by CO and then replenished by gaseous O-2 at rt. Au activates both CO and O-2 so that the FePO4 Support can undergo reduction (by CO) and reoxidation (by O-2) cycles. The results of CO oxidation with labeled O-18(2) suggest the operation of two parallel reaction pathways at rt: (1) a redox pathway in which FePO4 supplies active oxygen and (2) a direct pathway on metallic Au, via either Langmuir-Hinshelwood or Eley-Rideal mechanism, in which gas phase O-2 provides the active oxygen.

AB When solving a system of linear equations with the restarted GM RES method, a fixed restart parameter is typically chosen. We present numerical experiments that demonstrate the beneficial effects of changing the value of the restart parameter in each restart cycle on the total time to solution. We propose a simple strategy for varying the restart parameter and provide some heuristic explanations for its effectiveness based on analysis of the symmetric case. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.

AB Regional aerosol model calculations were made using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF)-Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) and WRF-chem models to study spatial and temporal variations of aerosols around Beijing, China, in the summer of 2006, when the Campaigns of Air Quality Research in Beijing and Surrounding Region 2006 (CAREBeijing) intensive campaign was conducted. Model calculations captured temporal variations of primary ( such as elemental carbon (EC)) and secondary ( such as sulfate) aerosols observed in and around Beijing. The spatial distributions of aerosol optical depth observed by the MODIS satellite sensors were also reproduced over northeast China. Model calculations showed distinct differences in spatial distributions between primary and secondary aerosols in association with synoptic-scale meteorology. Secondary aerosols increased in air around Beijing on a scale of about 1000 x 1000 km(2) under an anticyclonic pressure system. This air mass was transported northward from the high anthropogenic emission area extending south of Beijing with continuous photochemical production. Subsequent cold front passage brought clean air from the north, and polluted air around Beijing was swept to the south of Beijing. This cycle was repeated about once a week and was found to be responsible for observed enhancements/reductions of aerosols at the intensive measurement sites. In contrast to secondary aerosols, the spatial distributions of primary aerosols (EC) reflected those of emissions, resulting in only slight variability despite the changes in synoptic-scale meteorology. In accordance with these results, source apportionment simulations revealed that primary aerosols around Beijing were controlled by emissions within 100 km around Beijing within the preceding 24 h, while emissions as far as 500 km and within the preceding 3 days were found to affect secondary aerosols.

AB Long-term observational data reveal that both the frequency and amount of light rain have decreased in eastern China (EC) for 1956-2005 with high spatial coherency. This is different from the trend of total rainfall observed in EC, which decreases in northern EC and increases in southern EC. To examine the cause of the light rain trends, we analyzed the long-term variability of atmospheric water vapor and its correlation with light rain events. Results show very weak relationships between large-scale moisture transport and light rain in EC. Because of human activities, pollutant emission has increased dramatically in China for the last few decades, leading to a significant reduction in visibility between 1960 and 2000. Cloud-resolving model simulations over EC show that aerosols corresponding to polluted conditions can significantly increase the cloud droplet number concentration (CDNC) and reduce droplet sizes compared to pristine conditions. This can lead to a significant decline in raindrop concentration and delay raindrop formation because smaller cloud droplets are less efficient in the collision and coalescence processes. Together with weaker convection, the precipitation frequency and amount are significantly reduced in the polluted case in EC. Satellite data also reveal higher CDNC and smaller droplet size over polluted land in EC relative to pristine regions, which is consistent with the model results. Observational evidences and simulations results suggest that the significantly increased aerosol concentrations produced by air pollution are at least partly responsible for the decreased light rain events observed in China over the past 50 years.

AB In this paper, the Genetic Algorithms (GA) and Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA) were used to simultaneously conduct calibration and uncertainty analysis for the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), In this combined method, several SWAT models with different structures are first selected; next GA is used to calibrate each model using observed streamflow data; finally, BMA is applied to combine the ensemble predictions and provide uncertainty interval estimation. This method was tested in two contrasting basins, the Little River Experimental Basin in Georgia, USA, and the Yellow River Headwater Basin in China. The results obtained in the two case studies show that this combined method can provide deterministic predictions better than or comparable to the best calibrated model using GA. The 66.7% and 90% uncertainty intervals estimated by this method were analyzed. The differences between the percentage of coverage of observations and the corresponding expected coverage percentage are within 10% for both calibration and validation periods in these two test basins. This combined methodology provides a practical and flexible tool to attain reliable deterministic simulation and uncertainty analysis of SWAT. Published by Elsevier B.V.

AB Prime-boost immunization with gene-based vectors has been developed to generate more effective vaccines for AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis. Although these vectors elicit potent T cell responses, the mechanisms by which they stimulate immunity are not well understood. In this study, we show that immunization by a single gene product, HIV-1 envelope, with alternative vector combinations elicits CD8(+) cells with different fine specificities and kinetics of mobilization. Vaccine-induced CD8(+) T cells recognized overlapping third V region loop peptides. Unexpectedly, two anchor variants bound H-2D(d) better than the native sequences, and clones with distinct specificities were elicited by alternative vectors. X-ray crystallography revealed major differences in solvent exposure of MHC-bound peptide epitopes, suggesting that processed HIV-1 envelope gave rise to MHC-I/peptide conformations recognized by distinct CD8(+) T cell populations. These findings suggest that different gene-based vectors generate peptides with alternative conformations within MHC-I that elicit distinct T cell responses after vaccination.

PATHWAY; ACTIVATION PRODUCTS; BINDING PROTEIN; IMMUNE EVASION; AUREUS
PROTEIN; COMPONENT; C3D
AB Staphylococcus aureus possesses an impressive arsenal of complement evasion proteins that help the bacterium escape attack of the immune system. The staphylococcal complement inhibitor (SCIN) protein exhibits a particularly high potency and was previously shown to block complement by acting at the level of the C3 convertases. However, many details about the exact binding and inhibitory mechanism remained unclear. In this study, we demonstrate that SCIN directly binds with nanomolar affinity to a functionally important area of C3b that lies near the C terminus of its beta-chain. Direct competition of SCIN with factor B for C3b slightly decreased the formation of surface-bound convertase. However, the main inhibitory effect can be attributed to an entrapment of the assembled convertase in an inactive state. Whereas native C3 is still able to bind to the blocked convertase, no generation and deposition of C3b could be detected in the presence of SCIN. Furthermore, SCIN strongly competes with the binding of factor H to C3b and influences its regulatory activities: the SCIN-stabilized convertase was essentially insensitive to decay acceleration by factor H and the factor I- and H-mediated conversion of surface-bound C3b to iC3b was significantly reduced. By targeting a key area on C3b, SCIN is able to block several essential functions within the alternative pathway, which explains the high potency of the inhibitor. Our findings provide an important insight into complement evasion strategies by S. aureus and may act as a base for further functional studies. The Journal of Immunology, 2009, 183: 2565-2574.

AB This paper is Part II of a review focusing on the United States experience with oxide, carbide, and nitride fast reactor fuel fabrication. Over 60 years of research in fuel fabrication by government, national laboratories, industry, and academia has culminated in a foundation of research and resulted in significant improvements to the technologies employed to fabricate these fuel types. This part of the review documents the current state of fuel fabrication technologies in the United States for each of these fuel types, some of the challenges faced by previous researchers, and how these were overcome. Knowledge gained from reviewing previous investigations will aid both researchers and policy makers in forming future decisions relating to nuclear fuel fabrication technologies.

AB Hardness measurements were performed on wrought Low Carbon Arc Cast (LCAC), TZM, and Oxide Dispersion Strengthened (ODS) molybdenum in the post-irradiated and post-irradiated + annealed condition to determine the recovery kinetics. Irradiations performed in the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) at nominally 300 degrees C and 600 degrees C to neutron fluence levels that range from 10.5 to 246 x 10(24) n/m(2) (E > 0.1 MeV) resulted in relatively large increases in hardness (77-109%), while small increases in hardness (<18%) were observed for irradiations at 870-1100 degrees C. The hardness recovery for ODS and LCAC irradiated at 300 degrees C and 600 degrees C were shown to be complete at 980 degrees C and approximate to 1100-1250 degrees C, respectively. Isothermal annealing at 700 degrees C was used to determine the activation energy for recovery of LCAC and ODS (3.70-4.88 eV +/- 0.28-0.77 eV), which is comparable to values reported in the literature for molybdenum vacancy self-diffusion. This suggests that recovery of LCAC and ODS is controlled by the solid-state diffusion of vacancies in the bulk, and that the finer grain size and particle size ODS does not affect this mechanism. TZM exhibited slower recovery kinetics, which can be explained by the solute atoms (titanium and zirconium) inhibiting vacancy diffusion. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB Tensile and fracture toughness properties of a precipitation-hardened CuCrZr alloy were investigated in two heat treatment conditions: solutionized, water quenched and aged (CuCrZr SAA), and hot isostatic pressed, solutionized, slow-cooled and aged (CuCrZr SCA). The second heat treatment simulated the manufacturing cycle for large components, and is directly relevant for the ITER divertor components. Specimens were neutron irradiated at similar to 80 degrees C to two iluences, 2 x 10(24) and 2 x 10(25) n/m(2) (E > 0.1 MeV), corresponding to displacement doses of 0.15 and 1.5 displacements per atom (dpa). Tensile and fracture toughness tests were carried out at room temperature. Significant irradiation hardening and plastic instability at yield occurred in both heat treatment conditions with a saturation dose of,.,0.1 dpa. Neutron irradiation slightly reduced fracture toughness in CuCrZr SAA and CuCrZr SCA. The fracture toughness of CuCrZr remained high up to 1.5 dpa (J(Q) > 200 kJ/m(2)) for both heat treatment conditions. Published by Elsevier B.V.

AB A Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) furnace was used to produce ceramic-metallic sinters (cermets) containing a simulated loading of radioisotope materials. CeO(2) was used to simulate loadings of PuO(2), UO(2) or AmO(2) within tungsten-based cermets due to the similar kinetic properties of these materials, in particular the respective melting points and Gibbs free energies. The work presented demonstrates the capability and suitability of the SPS process for the production of radioisotope encapsulates for nuclear fuels and other applications (including waste disposal and radioisotope power and heat source fabrication) where the mechanical capture of radioisotope materials is required.

AB Room temperature ion irradiation damage studies were performed on a ceramic composite intended to emulate a dispersion nuclear fuel. The composite is composed of 90-mole% MgO and 10-mole% HfO2. The as-synthesized composite was found to consist of Mg2Hf5O12 (and some residual HfO2) particles embedded in an MgO matrix. X-ray diffraction revealed that nearly all of the initial HfO2 reacted with some MgO to form Mg2Hf5O12. Ion irradiations were performed using 10 MeV Au3+ ions at room temperature over a fluence range of 5 x 10(16)-5 x 10(20) Au/m(2). Irradiated samples were characterized using both grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), the latter using both selected-area electron diffraction (SAED) and micro-diffraction (VD) on samples prepared in cross-sectional geometry. Both GIXRD and TEM electron diffraction measurements on a specimen irradiated to a fluence of 5 x 10(20) Au/cm(2), revealed that the initial rhombohedral Mg2Hf5O12 phase was transformed into a cubic-Mg2Hf5O12 phase. Finally, it is important to note that at the highest ion fluence used in this investigation (5 x 10(20) Au/m(2)), both the MgO matrix and the Mg2Hf5O12 second phase remained crystalline.

AB The formation of quantum computer test structures in silicon by ion implantation enables the characterization of spin readout mechanisms with ensembles of dopant atoms and the development of single atom devices. We briefly review recent results in the characterization of spin dependent transport and single ion doping and then discuss the diffusion and segregation behaviour of phosphorus, antimony and bismuth ions from low fluence, low energy implantations as characterized through depth profiling by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). Both phosphorus and bismuth are found to segregate to the SiO(2)/Si interface during activation anneals, while antimony diffusion is found to be minimal. An effect of the ion charge state on the range of antimony ions, (121)Sb(25+), in SiO(2)/Si is also discussed. (C) 2009 Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.

AB We present a quantitative model for the efficiency of the molecular effect in damage buildup in semiconductors. Our model takes into account only one mechanism of the dependence of damage buildup efficiency on the density of collision cascades: nonlinear energy spikes. In our three-dimensional analysis, the volume of each individual collision cascade is divided into small cubic cells, and the number of cells that have an average density of displacements above some threshold value is calculated. We assume that such cells experience a catastrophic crystalline-to-amorphous phase transition, while defects in the cells with lower displacement densities have perfect annihilation. For the two limiting cases of heavy (500 keV/atom (209)Bi) and light (40 keV/atom (14)N) ion bombardment of Si, theory predictions are in good agreement with experimental data for a threshold displacement density of 4.5 at.%. For intermediate density cascades produced by small 2.1 keV/amu PF(n) clusters, we show that dynamic annealing processes entirely dominate cascade density effects for PF(2) ions, while energy spikes begin contributing in the case of PF(4) cluster bombardment.

AB Polycrystalline Cu, Cu(20)Au(80), Cu(40)Au(60), Cu(80)Au(20) and Au samples were bombarded with 15 keV Ar(+), and the resulting secondary neutral yield distribution was studied by non-resonant laser post-ionisation mass spectrometry. Neutral clusters containing up to 15 atoms were observed for the targets. The yield of neutral clusters, Cu(m)Au(n) (m), containing n atoms, Y(n), was found to follow a power in n, i.e. Y(n) proportional to n(-delta), where the exponent delta varied from 5.2 to 10.1. For a fixed n, the cluster yields showed a variation with number of copper atoms, m, much greater than expected for a binomial distribution suggesting that the clusters are not formed randomly above the surface and a component of preformed cluster emission occurs. In addition, the cluster compositions from the sputtered alloys were indicative of sputtering from a copper rich surface. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

I-V characteristics for a number of different impact regions were measured with STM and the results argue for possible formation of diamond-like nanoscale structures at the impact sites.

AB By the mid-1980s, measurements of the nucleon form factors had reached a stage where only slow, incremental progress was possible using Unpolarized electron scattering. The development of high qnality polarized beams, polarized targets, and recoil polarimeters led to a renaissance in the experimental program. I provide an overview of the changes in the field in the last ten years, which were driven by the dramatically improved data made possible by a new family of tools to measure polarization observables.

AB Relativistic heavy ion physics studies the phenomena that occur when a very large amount of energy (in units of QCD scale Lambda(QCD)) is deposited into a large volume (in units of Lambda(-3)(QCD)), creating QC 4 an extended in space and time domain with an energy density that is large in units of Lambda(4)(QCD). This includes the mechanism by which the energy is deposited (likely a transformation of the colliding Lorentz-contracted "gluon walls" into the strong longitudinal color fields); approach to thermalization; and the static and dynamical properties of the created quark-gluon plasma. Of particular interest is the fate of symmetries (e.g. chiral SUL(3) X SUR(3), scale, and discrete P and CP invariances) in hot and dense QCD matter. At present, the program at RHIC has entered a stage where new discoveries are enabled by high precision of the measurements; moreover, an at-ray of new capabilities will soon be available due to the numerous and significant upgrades. Very importantly, we will soon have access to unprecedented energies of colliding ions at the LHC. In addition, future RHIC runs at low energies, FAIR at GSI and NICA at JINR will make possible the studies of QCD matter at high baryon density. I will describe the current status of theoretical knowledge about hot QCD, and the ways in which it may be expected to improve in the near future.

ID HEAVY-ION COLLISIONS; FLOW; DISTRIBUTIONS; ENERGIES
AB The RHIC program was intended to identify and study the quark-gluon plasma formed in the collision of heavy nuclei. The discovery of the "perfect liquid" is an essential step towards the understanding of the medium formed in these collisions. Much of data relevant to this was provided by the study of "soft" observables, which involve many particles of low momentum produced in nearly every event, rather than high momentum particles produced in rare events. The main results related to soft physics at RHIC are discussed, as well as their implications for the physics of the LHC heavy ion program.

DE medium modifications; vector mesons
AB There is tremendous interest both experimentally and theoretically in possible modification of the properties of vector mesons, such as a shift in their masses and/or broadening of their widths in dense nuclear matter. These effects can be related to partial restoration of chiral symmetry at high density or temperature. The light vector mesons (rho, omega, and phi) were photo-produced on (2)H, C, Ti, Fe, and Pb targets at the Thomas Jefferson National Laboratory using the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS). The properties of the rho vector meson at normal nuclear densities and zero temperature were investigated via their rare leptonic decay to e(+)e(-). The rho meson mass distributions were extracted for each of the targets. With respect to the rho-meson mass, we obtain a small shift compatible with zero. Also, we measure widths consistent with standard nuclear many-body effects such as collisional broadening and Fermi motion.

DE charmed mesons; decays of bottom mesons; phenomenological quark models
AB Several charmonium-like states above D (D) over bar threshold have been discovered at the Belle and BABAR B-factories. Some are produced via Initial State Radiation (e.g. Y(4260) and Y(4350)), and some are observed in B meson decays (e.g. X(3872), Y(3940), and Z(4430)(-)). The Z(4430)(-) state has generated a great deal of interest, having minimum quark content (c (c) over bard (u) over bar) and, thus, representing the unequivocal manifestation of a four-quark meson state. Here we summarize recent BABAR results on the Y(4260), X(3872), Y(3940), and on a search for the Z(4430)(-).

AB We studied the (K) over bar -nucleus interaction by the (K-, N) reactions on C-12 and O-16. An appreciable strength observed in a bound region indicates that the (K) over bar -nuclear potential is strongly attractive. Potential depth was derived by comparing with the theoretical calculations. It is -190 MeV for the C-12(K-, n) -160 MeV for the C-12(K-, p), and -180 MeV for the O-16(K-, n) reaction and -160 MeV for the O-16(K-, p) respectively. Our data suggest that the (K) over bar -nucleus potential is sufficiently deep to realize kaon condensation in the core of neutron stars.

DE heavy flavor; higher-order calculations
ID CHARM CROSS-SECTION; QUARK-GLUON PLASMA; COLLISIONS
AB Accurate assessments of the charm and bottom cross sections and kinematic distributions in hadron-hadron collisions are needed in order to understand the behavior of heavy flavors in more complex collisions. Neither the charm nor bottom cross sections were measured at root S = 200 GeV before the startup of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The RHIC detectors are capable of measuring the heavy flavor transverse momentum distributions to p(T) similar to 0, making estimates of the total heavy flavor cross section feasible at a collider. It is thus possible to obtain and compare the total heavy flavor cross sections at RHIC with those measured at other energies. The charm production data, in particular, can have a considerable spread in the measured cross sections, even at a single energy. In addition, the small charm mass can lead to large theoretical uncertainties. We assess the theoretical uncertainties on the heavy flavor (charm and bottom) hadroproduction cross section. We discuss the importance of the quark mass, the renormalization and factorization scales and the parton densities on the estimate of the uncertainty.

AB In the interior of supernovae, temperatures and densities exceed the range that is easily accessible by terrestrial experiments. With the improving sensitivities of neutrino and gravitational wave detectors, the chance of obtaining observations providing a deep view into the heart of a close-by supernova explosion is steadily increasing. Based on computational models we investigate the imprint of the nuclear equation of state on the emission of neutrinos and gravitational waves. If a QCD phase transition to quark matter occurs during the immediate postbounce accretion phase, a strong second shock front is formed at a radius of order 10 km. Neutronised hadronic outer layers of the protoneutron star fall into it, are shock-heated and lead to a rapid acceleration of the second shock wave. As soon as this shock reduces the electron degeneracy at the neutrinospheres, a sharp second neutrino burst is emitted, dominated by electron antineutrinos. Together with the abruptly increasing mean energies of mu- and tau-neutrinos it may serve as a clear signature of the phase transition of the protoneutron star core to a more compact state.

AB In spite of the great stride we have made in over the past few decades, towards understanding the universe around us, we know surprisingly little about the fundamental structure of matter which makes the universe. How do quarks and gluons form the nucleons? How does the nucleon acquire its properties? A high energy high luminosity polarized electron-proton/ion collider will allow precision study of the fundamental structure of matter, with focus on the role partons play in forming and imparting properties to the nucleons and the nuclei including their internal dynamics. Such measurements are expected to address some of the most fundamental and universal aspects of QCD, the accepted theory of physics that relates to the interactions between quarks and gluons inside the nucleons and nuclei. Two proposals are being developed in the US: first, with the addition of an electron beam facility next to the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory and have e-A/p collisions, and the other, to add a nuclear beam facility to complement the existing CEBAF facility at Jefferson Laboratory. This is a brief overview of the science and the project.

ID EQUATION-OF-MOTION; LAMB SHIFT
AB Equations of motion (EOM's) are presented for the electron and photon. The electron EOM is the same as Dirac's equation with mass interpreted to be totally electromagnetic in nature. The photon EOM is considered here to be the EOM for the electron's self photon. The electron EOM and photon EOM together are presented as a single theory of the electron which is distinct from QED, in which separate matter and light theories are used for the electron and photon respectively.
A temporarily bound state is found for the point proton-electron-self-photon three-body combination which possibly represents a neutronic state. In support of this surmise the theory is used to calculate the neutronic state-proton mass difference, the lifetime of the neutronic state against electron emission, and the neutronic state's magnetic moment, This interpretation of the neutronic state suggests that the self photon and the neutrino share the same EOM and are possibly the same particle.

AB Two-dimensional photonic crystals (PhC) using epitaxial ferroelectric, barium titanate (BTO) thin films as the dielectric medium were fabricated and their thermo-optical response measured and compared to theory. The nanopatterned PhC consists of a square array of air holes 300 nm deep, a period of 780 nm and area 200 x 200 mu m(2). The large refractive index of BTO leads to a high contrast structure that shows strong optical diffraction. Optical diffraction is analyzed along the < 1 0 > and < 1 1 > directions from phase grating measurements. The thermal tunability of BTO PhC is characterized from the attenuation of the first order diffraction. There is a 3 dB extinction ratio when the temperature increases by 120 degrees C, which corresponds to an increase of 0.05 in the BTO refractive index. Finite difference time domain (FDTD) technique is used to calculate the PhC band structure and the temperature dependence of the diffraction efficiency. The large change in the diffraction efficiency indicates that thermally tunable BTO PhCs may be useful as active ultra-compact photonic switches. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

ID NEGATIVE-INDEX METAMATERIAL; REFRACTION
AB Following a recent theoretical suggestion and microwave experiments, we fabricate photonic metamaterials composed of pairs of twisted gold crosses using two successive electron-beam-lithography steps and intermediate planarization via a spin-on dielectric. The resulting two effective resonances of the coupled system lie in the 1-2 mu m wavelength regime and exhibit pronounced circular dichroism, while the circular polarization conversion is very small. In between the two resonances, we find a fairly broad spectral regime with strong optical activity, i.e., with a pure rotation of incident linear polarization. The measured optical transmittance spectra agree well with theory. (C) 2009 Optical Society of America

AB A new class of solutions to Laplacian growth (LG) with zero surface tension is presented and shown to contain all other known solutions as special or limiting cases. These solutions, which are time-dependent conformal maps with branch cuts inside the unit circle, are governed by a nonlinear integral equation and describe oil fjords with non-parallel walls in viscous fingering experiments in Hele-Shaw cells. Integrals of motion for the multi-cut LG solutions in terms of singularities of the Schwarz function are found, and the dynamics of densities (jumps) on the cuts are derived. The subclass of these solutions with linear Cauchy densities on the cuts of the Schwarz function is of particular interest, because in this case the integral equation for the conformal map becomes linear. These solutions can also be of physical importance by representing oil/air interfaces, which form oil fjords with a constant opening angle, in accordance with recent experiments in a Hele-shaw cell.

AB Using the micro-scratch technique, the tribological behavior of ZrCuAlNi metallic-glass films on 316L stainless steel was studied. With the application of ramping load, the critical load of about 110 mN was determined, at which the coefficient of friction increased sharply and the indenter penetration depth reached the film thickness. No clear evidence of film debonding was found, which, together with the observation of multiple shear bands, indicated good adhesion and ductility of the metallic-glass film. When subjected to constant loads, the coefficient of friction increased rapidly once the critical load was passed. The scratch results and the scanning-electron microscopy observations demonstrated good adhesion between the film and the substrate, which may be due to the good interfacial bonding and low residual stress in the film.

AB Dithiocarbamates are a commercially important class of compounds that can produce peripheral neuropathy in humans and experimental animals. Previous studies have supported a requirement for copper accumulation and enhanced lipid peroxidation in dithiocarbamate-mediated myelinopathy. The study presented here extends previous investigations in two areas. Firstly, although total copper levels have been shown to increase within the nerve it has not been determined whether copper is increased within the myelin compartment, the primary site of lesion development. Therefore, the distribution of copper in sciatic nerve was characterized using synchrotron X-ray fluorescence microscopy to determine whether the neurotoxic dithiocarbamate, N,N-diethyldithiocarbamate, increases copper levels in myelin. Secondly, because lipid peroxidation is an ongoing process in normal nerve and the levels of lipid peroxidation products produced by dithiocarbamate exposure demonstrated an unusual cumulative dose response in previous studies the biological impact of dithiocarbamate-mediated lipid peroxidation was evaluated. Experiments were performed to determine whether dithiocarbamate-mediated lipid peroxidation products elicit an antioxidant response through measuring the protein expression levels of three enzymes, superoxide dismutase 1, heme oxygenase 1, and glutathione transferase a, that are linked to the antioxidant response element promoter. To establish the potential of oxidative injury to contribute to myelin injury the temporal relationship of the antioxidant response to myelin injury was determined. Myelin structure in peripheral nerve was assessed using multi-exponential transverse relaxation measurements (MET(2)) as a function of exposure duration, and the temporal relationship of protein expression changes relative to the onset of changes in myelin integrity were determined. Initial assessments were also performed to explore the potential contribution of dithiocarbamate-mediated inhibition of proteasome function and inhibition of cuproenzyme activity to neurotoxicity, and also to assess the potential of dithiocarbamates to promote oxidative stress and injury within the central nervous system. These evaluations were performed using an established model for dithiocarbamate-mediated demyelination in the rat utilizing sciatic nerve, spinal cord and brain samples obtained from rats exposed to N,N-diethyldithiocarbamate (DEDC) by intra-abdominal pumps for periods of 2, 4, and 8 weeks and from non exposed controls. The data supported the ability of DEDC to increase copper within myelin and to enhance oxidative stress prior to structural changes detectable by MET2. Evidence was also obtained that the excess copper produced by DEDC in the central nervous system is redox active and promotes oxidative injury. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

AB Within first-principles density functional theory, we explore the feasibility of using metallofullerenes as efficient hydrogen storage media. In particular, we systematically investigate the interaction between hydrogen molecules and La encapsulated all-carbon fullerenes, C(n) (20 < n < 82), focusing on the role of transferred charges between the metal atoms and fullerenes on the affinity of hydrogen molecules to the metallofullerenes. Our calculations show that three electrons are transferred from La atom to fullerene cages, while the induced charges are mostly screened by the fullerene cages. We find the local enhancement of molecular hydrogen affinity to the fullerenes to be sensitively dependent on the local bonding properties, rather than on the global charging effects.

AB Despite the high density within a typical protein fold, the ensemble of sterically permissible side-chain repackings is vast. Here, we examine the extent of this variability that survives energetic biases due to van der Waals interactions, hydrogen bonding, salt bridges, and solvation. Monte Carlo simulations of an atomistic model exhibit thermal fluctuations among a diverse set of side-chain arrangements, even with the peptide backbone, fixed in its crystallographic conformation. We have quantified the torsional entropy of this native-state ensemble, relative to that of a noninteracting reference system, for 12 small proteins. The reduction in entropy per rotatable bond due to each kind of interaction is remarkably consistent across this set of molecules. To assess the biophysical importance of these fluctuations, we have estimated side-chain entropy contributions to the binding affinity of several peptide ligands with calmodulin. Calculations for our fixed-backbone model correlate very wen with experimentally determined binding entropies over a range spanning more than 80 kJ/(mol.308 K). (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

AB There has been much interest in developing methods for transferring quantum information. We discuss a way to transfer quantum information between two trapped ions through a wire. The motion of a trapped ion induces oscillating charges in the trap electrodes. By sending this current to the electrodes of a nearby second trap, the motions of ions in the two traps are coupled. We investigate the electrostatics of a setup where two separately trapped ions are coupled through an electrically floating wire. We also discuss experimental issues, including possible sources of decoherence.

AB In many atomic physics experiments in an electron beam ion trap, the technical system is used to provide a stationary environment for a cloud of highly charged ions which are then probed for properties such as excitation energies or magnetic sublevel population (via the polarization of the emitted light). However, there are also observations in which electron beam properties or ion trapping conditions are systematically varied to obtain atomic properties as well as measurements of the changes over time of the stored ions, their atomic states and their ensemble properties. Examples of such measurements that require a variation of the experiment parameters (hence 'differential' observations) are discussed.

ID HIGGS-BOSON
AB We report on a first search for resonant pair production of neutral long-lived particles (NLLP) which each decay to a b (b) over bar pair, using 3.6 fb(-1) of data recorded with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. We search for pairs of displaced vertices in the tracking detector at radii in the range 1.6-20 cm from the beam axis. No significant excess is observed above background, and upper limits are set on the production rate in a hidden-valley benchmark model for a range of Higgs boson masses and NLLP masses and lifetimes.

TI Fermi Surface of SrFe2P2 Determined by the de Haas-van Alphen Effect
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS
LA English
DT Article
AB We report measurements of the Fermi surface (FS) of the ternary iron-phosphide SrFe2P2 using the de Haas-van Alphen effect. The calculated FS of this compound is very similar to SrFe2As2, the parent compound of the high temperature superconductors. Our data show that the Fermi surface is composed of two electron and two hole sheets in agreement with band-structure calculations. Several of the sheets show strong c-axis warping emphasizing the importance of three dimensionality in the nonmagnetic state of the ternary pnictides. We find that the electron and hole pockets have a different topology, implying that this material does not satisfy a (pi, pi) nesting condition.

AB We use thermal diffuse scattering of x rays to visualize the lens-shaped portions of the Fermi surface in metallic zinc. Our interpretation of the nature of the observed scattered intensity anomalies is supported by the incorporation of inelastic x-ray scattering measurements as well as ab initio calculations of the electronic structure and lattice dynamics. Our work demonstrates that thermal diffuse scattering complements well-established techniques and is a powerful tool in its own right for studying the shape of the Fermi surface through the associated electron-phonon coupling.

TI Enhanced Self-Focusing of an Ion Beam Pulse Propagating through a
Background Plasma along a Solenoidal Magnetic Field
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS
LA English
DT Article
ID TRANSPORT; FUSION; SHOCKS; LENS
AB It is shown that the application of a weak solenoidal magnetic field along the direction of ion beam propagation through a neutralizing background plasma can significantly enhance the beam self-focusing for the case where the beam radius is small compared to the collisionless electron skin depth. The enhanced focusing is provided by a strong radial self-electric field that is generated due to a local polarization of the magnetized plasma background by the moving ion beam. A positive charge of the ion beam pulse becomes overcompensated by the plasma electrons, which results in the radial focusing of the beam ions. The expression for the self-focusing force is derived analytically and compared with the results of numerical simulations.

AB Reduction or elimination of edge localized modes (ELMs) while maintaining high confinement is essential for future fusion devices, e.g., the ITER. An ELM-free regime was recently obtained in the National Spherical Torus Experiment, following lithium (Li) evaporation onto the plasma-facing components. Edge stability calculations indicate that the pre-Li discharges were unstable to low-n peeling or ballooning modes, while broader pressure profiles stabilized the post-Li discharges. Normalized energy confinement increased by 50% post Li, with no sign of ELMs up to the global stability limit.

TI Surface Geometric and Electronic Structures of BaFe2As2(001)
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS
LA English
DT Article
ID SUPERCONDUCTOR
AB BaFe2As2 exhibits properties that are characteristic of the parent compounds of the newly discovered iron (Fe)-based high-TC superconductors. By combining real-space imaging of scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy (STM + STS) with momentum-space quantitative low-energy electron diffraction (LEED), we have identified the surface plane of cleaved BaFe2As2 crystals as the As terminated Fe-As layer-the plane where superconductivity occurs. LEED and STM + STS data on the BaFe2As2(001) surface indicate an ordered arsenic (As) terminated metallic surface without reconstruction or lattice distortion. It is surprising that STM images the different Fe-As orbitals associated with the orthorhombic structure, but not the As atoms in the surface plane.

ID ANAPOLE MOMENT; NONCONSERVATION; TRANSITION; THALLIUM; 6S(2)
AB Atomic parity violation has been observed in the 6s(2) (1)S(0) -> 5d6s (3)D(1) 408-nm forbidden transition of ytterbium. The parity-violating amplitude is found to be 2 orders of magnitude larger than in cesium, where the most precise experiments to date have been performed. This is in accordance with theoretical predictions and constitutes the largest atomic parity-violating amplitude yet observed. This also opens the way to future measurements of neutron distributions and anapole moments by comparing parity-violating amplitudes for various isotopes and hyperfine components of the transition.

AB We develop a state-space Bayesian framework to combine time-lapse geophysical data with other types of information for quantitative estimation of biogeochemical parameters during bioremediation. We consider characteristics of end products of biogeochemical transformations as state vectors, which evolve under constraints of local environments through evolution equations, and consider time-lapse geophysical data as available observations, which could be linked to the state vectors through petrophysical models. We estimate the state vectors and their associated unknown parameters over time using Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling methods. To demonstrate the use of the state-space approach, we apply it to complex resistivity data collected during laboratory column biostimulation experiments that were poised to precipitate iron and zinc sulfides during sulfate reduction. We develop a petrophysical model based on sphere-shaped cells to link the sulfide precipitate properties to the time-lapse geophysical attributes and estimate volume fraction of the sulfide precipitates, fraction of the dispersed, sulfide-encrusted cells, mean radius of the aggregated clusters, and permeability over the course of the experiments. Results of the case study suggest that the developed state-space approach permits the use of geophysical data sets for providing quantitative estimates of end-product characteristics and hydrological feedbacks associated with biogeochemical transformations. Although tested here on laboratory column experiment data sets, the developed framework provides the foundation needed for quantitative field-scale estimation of biogeochemical parameters over space and time using direct, but often sparse wellbore data with indirect, but more spatially extensive geophysical data sets.

TI Integrating microarray analysis and the soybean genome to understand the

AB Background: Soybeans grown in the upper Midwestern United States often suffer from iron deficiency chlorosis, which results in yield loss at the end of the season. To better understand the effect of iron availability on soybean yield, we identified genes in two near isogenic lines with changes in expression patterns when plants were grown in iron sufficient and iron deficient conditions.
Results: Transcriptional profiles of soybean (Glycine max, L. Merr) near isogenic lines Clark (PI548553, iron efficient) and IsoClark (PI547430, iron inefficient) grown under Fe-sufficient and Fe-limited conditions were analyzed and compared using the Affymetrix (R) GeneChip (R) Soybean Genome Array. There were 835 candidate genes in the Clark (PI548553) genotype and 200 candidate genes in the IsoClark (PI547430) genotype putatively involved in soybean's iron stress response. Of these candidate genes, fifty-eight genes in the Clark genotype were identified with a genetic location within known iron efficiency QTL and 21 in the IsoClark genotype. The arrays also identified 170 single feature polymorphisms (SFPs) specific to either Clark or IsoClark. A sliding window analysis of the microarray data and the 7X genome assembly coupled with an iterative model of the data showed the candidate genes are clustered in the genome. An analysis of 5' untranslated regions in the promoter of candidate genes identified 11 conserved motifs in 248 differentially expressed genes, all from the Clark genotype, representing 129 clusters identified earlier, confirming the cluster analysis results.
Conclusion: These analyses have identified the first genes with expression patterns that are affected by iron stress and are located within QTL specific to iron deficiency stress. The genetic location and promoter motif analysis results support the hypothesis that the differentially expressed genes are coregulated. The combined results of all analyses lead us to postulate iron inefficiency in soybean is a result of a mutation in a transcription factor(s), which controls the expression of genes required in inducing an iron stress response.

AB The photodissociation of 2-iodoethanol was studied within the A (sigma* <- n) absorption band at several wavelengths between 253 and 298 nm, and the velocity distributions and angular distributions of the photofragments were characterized by using velocity-map ion imaging. The two dominant dissociation channels correspond to the production of the 2-hydroxyethyl radical, C2H4OH, and 1(P-2(3/2)) and I*(P-2(1/2)), and in both channels, approximately 50% of the available excess energy is partitioned into translational energy of the fragments. The branching fractions for the I and I* channels at 266 nm were determined by using a combination of (1) the translational energy distributions for the separate I and I* channels determined by two-photon resonant, three-photon ionization, (2) the distributions for the combined I + I* channels determined by single-photon ionization at 118 nm, and (3) the relative photoionization cross sections of I and I* at 118 nm. Evidence was observed for either the secondary decomposition of C2H4OH, the photodissociation of C2H4OH, or the dissociative ionization of the C2H4OH radicals produced in the I channel. These mechanisms are also discussed.

AB We present a combined study by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM) of the successful formation of nanocomposites of polypropylene with montmorillonite by melt processing, providing a complete picture of the intercalation and exfoliation processes taking place. The nanocomposites contained 5 wt % of an organically modified montmorillonite, and different amounts of polypropylene-graft-maleic anhydride, used as a polar compatibilizer, Microscopy reveals a complex morphology, with partial intercalation/exfoliation, which depends on the concentration of compatibilizer. STXM spectromicroscopy provides direct information of the presence of different polymer components at the polymer-silicate interfaces and details on the intercalation mechanism.

AB The relationship between stacking interactions and the intercalation of proflavine and ellipticine within DNA is investigated using a nonempirical van der Waals density functional for the correlation energy. Our results, employing a binary stack model, highlight fundamental, qualitative differences between base-pair-base-pair interactions and that of the stacked intercalator-base-pair system. The most notable result is the paucity of torque, which so distinctively defines the twist of DNA. Surprisingly, this model, when combined with a constraint on the twist of the surrounding base-pair steps to match the observed unwinding of the sugar-phosphate backbone, was sufficient for explaining the experimentally observed proflavine intercalator configuration. Our extensive mapping of the potential energy surface of base-pair-intercalator interactions call provide valuable information for future nonempirical studies of DNA intercalation dynamics.

AB Barium oxide (BaO) was grown on a yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) substrate by oxygen plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. In situ reflection high-energy electron diffraction, ex situ X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) have confirmed that BaO grows as clusters on YSZ(111). During and following growth under ultrahigh vacuum conditions, we found BaO remained in single phase. When exposed to ambient conditions, the clusters transformed to BaCO3 and/or Ba(OH)(2) H2O. However, in a few attempts of BaO growth, XRD results show a fairly single-phase cubic BaO with a lattice constant of 0.5418(1) nm. XPS results show that exposing BaO clusters to ambient conditions resulted in the formation of BaCO3 on the surface and partly Ba(OH)(2) throughout the bulk. On the basis of the observations, it is concluded that the BaO nanoclusters grown on YSZ(111) are highly reactive in ambient conditions.

AB Mixtures of copper and iron oxides are used as industrial catalysts for the water-gas shift (WGS, CO + H2O -> H-2 + CO2). In-situ time-resolved X-ray diffraction, X-ray absorption fine structure, and atomic pair distribution function analysis were used to study the reduction of CuFe2O4 with CO and the behavior of CuFe2O4 and Cu/Fe2O3 catalysts under WGS reaction conditions. Metal <-> oxygen <-> metal interactions enhance the stability Of Cu2+ and Fe3+ in the CuFe2O4 lattice, and the mixed-metal oxide is much more difficult to reduce than CuO or Fe2O3. Furthermore, after heating mixtures of CuFe2O4/CuO in the presence of CO or CO/H2O, the cations of CuO migrate into octahedral sites of the CuFe2O4 lattice at temperatures (200-250 degrees C) in which CuO is not stable. Above 250 degrees C, copper leaves the oxide, the occupancy of the octahedral sites in CuFe2O4 decreases, and diffraction lines for metallic Cu appear. From 350 to 450 degrees C, there is a massive reduction of CuFe2O4 with the formation of metallic Cu and Fe3O4. At this point, the sample becomes catalytically active for the production of H-2 from the reaction of H2O with CO. Neutral Cu-0 (i.e., no Cu1+ or Cu2+ cations) is the active species in the catalysts, but interactions with the oxide support cannot be neglected. These studies illustrate the importance of in situ characterization when dealing with mixed-metal oxide WGS catalysts.

AB Rutile TiO2 nanorods were synthesized by hydrolysis of TiCl4 followed by a hydrothermal method. Lithium insertion into the rutile nanorods was achieved by a chemical lithium insertion process. The structural evolution of nanostructured rutile upon lithium insertion was characterized by several experimental techniques, namely, XRD, TEM, SAED and Li-6 MAS NMR. The XRD and TEM studies indicate the formation of lithium titanate phase (LixTiO2) during lithium insertion. Additionally, SAED patterns show that the lithium titanate phase has cubic symmetry. Finally, high magnetic field (21.1 T) Li-6 MAS NMR reveals that the lithium titanate phase adopts two different structures depending on lithium content. Taken together, the four techniques consistently show that the insertion of lithium into rutile TiO2 nanorods causes two consecutive structural phase transformations to lithium titanate phases with spinel (Fd (3) over barm) and rocksalt (Fm (3) over barm) structures at x = 0.46 and 0.88, respectively. In addition, the broad line widths in the Li-6 MAS NMR spectrum of the rocksalt phase are indicative of a disordered structure. Density functional theory calculations of the rutile, spinel and rocksalt bulk phases as a function of lithium content corroborate the observed phase transformations. These phase transitions could account for the irreversible capacity loss of nanostructured rutile anodes observed in electrochemical cycling experiments.

AB It is well known that a variation of lattice constants can strongly influence the functional properties of materials. Lattice constants can be influenced by external forces; however, most experiments are limited to hydrostatic pressure or biaxial stress. Here, we present an experimental approach that imposes a large uniaxial strain on epitaxially grown films in order to tune their functional properties. A substrate made of a ductile metal alloy covered with a biaxially oriented MgO layer is used as a template for growth of epitaxial films. By applying an external plastic strain, we break the symmetry within the substrate plane compared to the as-deposited state. The consequences of 2% plastic strain are examined for an epitaxial hard magnetic Nd2Fe14B film and are found to result in an elliptical distortion of the in-plane anisotropy below the spin-reorientation temperature. Our approach is a versatile method to study the influence of large plastic strain on various materials, as the MgO(001) layer used is a common substrate for epitaxial growth.

AB A new family of ternary rare earth compounds, RMgSn, has been synthesized and their crystal structures, formation thermodynamics and melting behavior have been studied. All of the rare earth elements (including Y) form the 1: 1: 1 equiatomic phase with Mg and Sn. These compounds crystallize with two different structure types: the RMgSn phases with the light R (R = La, Ce and Pr) adopt the orthorhombic TiNiSi structure type (an ordered derivative of the Co(2)Si-type structure, oP12, space group Prima), while the ones formed by the heavier R (R = Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm and Lu, plus Y) have the tetragonal CeScSi-type structure (an ordered derivative of the La(2)Sb-type structure, tI12, space group 14/mmm). The observed unit cell volume V(obs) and the mean atomic volume V(obs/n) (where n is the number of atoms in a unit cell) both decrease as expected due to the lanthanide contraction, but following different trends. The volume of formation (Delta V%) becomes more negative on going from La to Lu along the series. All phases have been found to form congruently (including YMgSn and probably LuMgSn). Their melting temperatures decrease from La to Lu, but with different slopes for the two different structure types. Relationships, between the volume of formation and also the melting points with the lanthanide contraction have been examined. The relationship between the former is anomalous compared to that observed for other R(x)M(y) series of compounds, while the latter relationship is consistent with previously published results.

AB We have used laboratory and synchrotron x-ray diffraction to investigate the structural and chemical changes undergone by polycrystalline RbH2PO4 upon heating within the 30-250 degrees C temperature interval. Our data show no evidence of the previously reported onset of partial polymerization at T = 96 degrees C (Park et al 2001 J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 13 9411) which was proposed as an explanation for the high-temperature proton conductivity enhancement in phosphate-based solid acids. Instead, we found that a tetragonal --> monoclinic polymorphic transition initiates at T approximate to 90 degrees C. The transition is complete at T approximate to 130 degrees C, and the new monoclinic RbH2PO4 polymorph is stable upon further heating to T = 200 degrees C. Moreover, its crystal structure is isomorphic to that of monoclinic CsH2PO4. This remarkable similarity suggests that the microscopic structures and dynamics responsible for the high-temperature superprotonic behavior of RbH2PO4 could be the same as those of its Cs-based counterpart.

ID T-C SUPERCONDUCTOR; FERMI-SURFACE; 43 K; TEMPERATURE; COMPOUND
AB We report quantum oscillation measurements on CaFe2As2 under strong magnetic fields-recently reported to become superconducting under pressures of as little as a kilobar. The largest observed carrier pocket occupies less than 0.05% of the paramagnetic Brillouin zone volume-consistent with Fermi surface reconstruction caused by antiferromagnetism. On comparing several alkaline earth AFe(2)As(2) antiferromagnets (with A = Ca, Sr and Ba), the dependences of the Fermi surface cross-sectional area F-alpha and the effective mass m(alpha)* of the primary observed pocket on the antiferromagnetic/ structural transition temperature T-s are both found to be consistent with the case for quasiparticles in a conventional spin-density wave model. These findings suggest that the recently proposed strain-enhanced superconductivity in these materials occurs within a broadly conventional spin-density wave phase.

AB A major driving force for water-soluble protein folding is the hydrophobic effect, but membrane proteins cannot make use of this stabilizing contribution in the apolar core of the bilayer. It has been proposed that membrane proteins compensate by packing more efficiently. We therefore investigated packing contributions experimentally by observing the energetic and structural consequences of cavity creating mutations in the core of a membrane protein. We observed little difference in the packing energetics of water and membrane soluble proteins. Our results imply that other mechanisms are employed to stabilize the structure of membrane proteins.

AB The nanoporous metal-organic framework [Fe(pz)Ni(CN)(4)], 1 (where pz is pyrazine), exhibits hysteretic spin-crossover at ambient conditions and is robust to the adsorption and desorption of a wide range of small molecular guests, both gases (N(2), O(2), CO(2)) and vapors (methanol, ethanol, acetone, acetonitrile, and toluene). Through the comprehensive analysis of structure, host-guest properties, and spin-crossover behaviors, it is found that this pillared Hofmann system uniquely displays both guest-exchange-induced changes to spin-crossover and spin-crossover-induced changes to host-guest properties, with direct dynamic interplay between these two phenomena. Guest desorption and adsorption cause pronounced changes to the spin-crossover behavior according to a systematic trend in which larger guests stabilize the high-spin state and therefore depress the spin-crossover temperature of the host lattice. When stabilizing the alternate spin state of the host at any given temperature, these processes directly stimulate the spin-crossover process, providing a chemisensing function. Exploitation of the bistability of the host allows the modification of adsorption properties at a fixed temperature through control of the host spin state, with each state shown to display differing chemical affinities to guest sorption.

AB Nucleic acid aptamers offer significant potential as convenient and evolvable targeting groups for drug delivery. To attach them to the surface of a genome-free viral capsid carrier, an efficient oxidative coupling strategy has been developed. The method involves the periodate-mediated reaction of phenylene diamine substituted oligonucleotides with aniline groups installed on the outer surface of the capsid shells. Up to 60 DNA strands can be attached to each viral capsid with no apparent loss of base-pairing capabilities or protein stability. The ability of the capsids to bind specific cellular targets was demonstrated through the attachment of a 41-nucleotide sequence that targets a tyrosine kinase receptor on Jurkat T cells. After the installation of a fluorescent dye on the capsid interior, capsids bearing the cell-targeting sequence showed significant levels of binding to the cells relative to those of control samples. Colocalization experiments using confocal microscopy indicated that the capsids were endocytosed and trafficked to lysosomes for degradation. These observations suggest that aptamer-labeled capsids could be used for the targeted drug delivery of acid-labile prodrugs that would be preferentially released upon lysosomal acidification.

AB Inspired by problems in biochemical kinetics, we study statistical properties of an overdamped Langevin process whose friction coefficient depends on the state of a similar, unobserved process. Integrating out the latter, we derive the long-time behavior of the mean square displacement. Anomalous diffusion is found. Since the diffusion exponent cannot be predicted using a simple scaling argument, anomalous scaling appears as well. We also find that the coupling can lead to ergodic or non-ergodic behavior of the studied process. We compare our theoretical predictions with numerical simulations and find an excellent agreement. The findings caution against treating biochemical systems coupled with unobserved dynamical degrees of freedom by means of standard, diffusive Langevin descriptions.

AB The potential energy clock (PEC) model for glassy polymers derived previously was shown to predict accurately a broad range of responses including temperature-dependent yield in different modes of deformation, enthalpy relaxation, volume recovery, and aging of the yield stress. It was, however, somewhat difficult to parameterize and employ computationally, and these points may affect its implementation and use. To facilitate acceptance, the model has been greatly simplified by keeping only necessary terms and employing some approximations. The resulting simplified potential energy clock (SPEC) model is quite easily computed and parameterized, yet faithfully reproduces the predictions of the full potential energy clock model implying that experimental responses are still accurately predicted. Such comparisons between the new model, old model, and data are presented as well as new predictions for creep. Again, the predictions are in good agreement with the experimental data.

COOPERATIVITY; MORPHOGENESIS; CALCIUM; DOMAIN
AB Cadherins are Ca(2+)-dependent cell-cell adhesion proteins with an extracellular region of five domains (EC1 to EC5). Adhesion is mediated by "strand swapping" of a conserved tryptophan residue in position 2 between EC1 domains of opposing cadherins, but the formation of this structure is not well understood. Using single-molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer and single-molecule force measurements with the atomic force microscope, we demonstrate that cadherins initially interact via EC1 domains without swapping tryptophan-2 to form a weak Ca(2+) dependent initial encounter complex that has 25% of the bond strength of a strand-swapped dimer. We suggest that cadherin dimerization proceeds via an induced fit mechanism where the monomers first form a tryptophan-2 independent initial encounter complex and then undergo subsequent conformational changes to form the final strand-swapped dimer.

AB Nickel-containing carbon monoxide dehydrogenases (CODHs) reversibly catalyze the oxidation of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide and are of vital importance in the global carbon cycle. The unusual catalytic CODH C-cluster has been crystallographically characterized as either a NiFe(4)S(4) or a NiFe(4)S(5) metal center, the latter containing a fifth, additional Sulfide that bridges Ni and a unique Fe site. To determine whether this bridging sulfide is catalytically relevant and to further explore the mechanism of the C-cluster, we obtained crystal structures of the 310 kDa bifunctional CODH/acetyl-CoA synthase complex from Moorella thermoacetica bound both with I substrate H(2)O/OH(-) molecule and with a cyanide inhibitor. X-ray diffraction data were collected from native crystals and from identical crystals soaked in a solution containing potassium cyanide. In both structures, the substrate H(2)O/OH(-) molecule exhibits binding to the unique Fe site of the C-cluster. We also observe cyanide binding in a bent conformation to Ni of the C-cluster, adjacent the substrate H(2)O/OH(-) molecule. Importantly, the bridging sulfide is not present in either structure. As these forms of the C-cluster represent the coordination environment immediately before the reaction takes place, Our Findings do not support a fifth, bridging sulfide playing a catalytic role in the enzyme mechanism. The crystal Structures presented here, along with recent structures of CODHs from other organisms, have led LIS toward a unified mechanism for CO oxidation by the C-cluster, the catalytic center of an environmentally important enzyme.

AB Soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) serves as a receptor for the signaling agent nitric oxide (NO). sGC synthesis of cGMP is regulated by NO, GTP, ATP, and allosteric activators such as YC-1. The guanylate cyclase activity and adenylate cyclase activity of full-length sGC and the sGC catalytic domain constructs (alpha 1(cat)beta 1(cat)) are reported here. ATP is it mixed-type inhibitor of cGMP production for both sGC and alpha 1(cat)beta 1(cat), indicating that the C-terminus of sGC contains an allosteric nucleotide binding site. YC-1 did not activate alpha 1(cat)beta 1(cat), or compete with ATP inhibition ofcGMP synthesis, which suggests that YC-1 and ATP bind to distinct sites. alpha 1(cat)beta 1(cat), and NO-stimulated sGC also synthesize cAMP, but this activity is inhibited by ATP via noncompetitive substrate inhibition and by GTP via mixed-type inhibition. Additionally, the adenylate cyclase activity of purified sGC was inhibited by PC12 lysate, suggesting that an intracellular small molecule or protein regulates this activity in vivo.

Extending this overgrowth technique to catalytically active metals and binary metal systems (Pt, PtCo, and PtNi) exemplifies the broader range of these metal-semiconductor hybrid nanomaterials. Structural and compositional characterization was carried out by low- and high-resolution TEM, EDS analysis, and XRD. Magnetic characterization of the PtCo binary metal hybrid systems was conducted using SQUID magneto-metry. Changes in the optical properties of the decorated materials compared to the as-made CdSe nanowires confirm the presence of electronic coupling at the metal-semiconductor interface, an important material property for photocatalytic applications.

AB Underground nuclear weapons testing at the Nevada Test Site introduced numerous radionuclides that may be used subsequently to characterize subsurface hydrologic transport processes in and climates. In 1965, a unique, 16-year pumping experiment designed to examine radionuclide migration away from the CAMBRIC nuclear test, conducted in the saturated zone beneath Frenchman Flat, Nevada. USA, gave rise to an unintended second experiment involving radionuclide infiltration through the vadose zone, as induced by seepage of pumping effluents beneath an unlined discharge trench. The combined experiments have been reanalyzed using a detailed, three-dimensional numerical model of transient, variably saturated flow and mass transport in a heterogeneous subsurface, tailored specifically for large-scale and efficient calculations. Simulations have been used to estimate tritium travel and residence times in various parts of the system for comparison with observations in wells. Model predictions of mass transport were able to clearly demonstrate radionuclide recycling behavior between the trench and pumping well previously suggested by isotopic age dating information; match travel time estimates for radionuclides moving between the trench. the water table, and monitoring and pumping wells; and provide more realistic ways in which to interpret the pumping well elution curves. Collectively, the results illustrate the utility of integrating detailed numerical modeling with diverse observational data in developing more accurate interpretations of contaminant migration processes.

AB The Los Alamos hybrid simulation code is used to examine heating and the partition of dissipation energy at the perpendicular heliospheric termination shock in the presence of pickup ions. The simulations are one-dimensional in space but three-dimensional in field and velocity components, and are carried out for a range of values of pickup ion relative density. Results from the simulations show that because the solar wind ions are relatively cold upstream, the temperature of these ions is raised by a relatively larger factor than the temperature of the pickup ions. An analytic model for energy partition is developed on the basis of the Rankine-Hugoniot relations and a polytropic energy equation. The polytropic index gamma used in the Rankine-Hugoniot relations is varied to improve agreement between the model and the simulations concerning the fraction of downstream heating in the pickup ions as well as the compression ratio at the shock. When the pickup ion density is less than 20%, the polytropic index is about 5/3, whereas for pickup ion densities greater than 20%, the polytropic index tends toward 2.2, suggesting a fundamental change in the character of the shock, as seen in the simulations, when the pickup ion density is large. The model and the simulations both indicate for the upstream parameters chosen for Voyager 2 conditions that the pickup ion density is about 25% and the pickup ions gain the larger share ( approximately 90%) of the downstream thermal pressure, consistent with Voyager 2 observations near the shock.

AB Preparation and photopolymerization of a decylmethylimidazolium ionic liquid (IL.) that possesses all acrylate counteranion ire described. This I L monomer self-assembles upon addition of water and can be copolymerized with poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) in the presence of it photoinitiator, forming a mechanically durable material that adopts a lamellar structure with in-plane hexagonally ordered pores, as evidenced by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). Thermogravimetric analysis, the extent of polymerization, and solubility-swelling studies indicate the formation of a network copolymer of the IL monomer and the PEGDA. Additional evidence for the formation of a nanostructured copolymer is provided by evaluating the product formed by replacement of the IL monomer with the nonpolymerizable analogue, decylmethylimidazolium chloride. The results demonstrate the possibility of designing it self-assembled amiphiphilic bilayer architecture that is reinforced by polymerization and cross-linking.

AB Order-order and order-disorder phase transitions in Mixtures of poly(styrene-block-ethylene oxide) (SEO) copolymers and lithium bis(trifluoromethysulfonimide) (LiTFSI), a common lithium Salt. used in polymer electrolytes, were studied using a combination of small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), birefringence, and ac impedance spectroscopy. The SEO/LiTFSI mixtures exhibit lamellar, hexagonally packed cylinders, and gyroid microphases. The molecular weight of the blocks and the salt concentration was adjusted to obtain order-order and order-disorder transition temperatures within the available experimental window. The ionic conductivities of the mixtures. normalized by the ionic conductivity of a 20 kg/mol homopolymer PEO sample at the salt concentration and temperature of interest, were independent of temperature, in spite of the presence of the above-mentioned phase transitions,

AB Water penetration into thin sulfonated polyphenylene (sPP) ionomer Films was investigated as a function of time, ionic strength, and film thickness by neutron reflectometry (NR). Understanding the role interfacial effects have on transport across ionic membranes is critical to the design of new responsive thin layers for a variety of applications from fuel cell membranes to protective cloths and water purification. At steady state, a nonuniform distribution of water molecules was observed with a high concentration at the air-polymer interface. An excess of water was also found at the polymer-silicon interface. The mass uptake is initially linear with t(0.5) but crosses over to an anomalous process with extended exposure periods. A delay time for the onset of diffusion is observed and is interpreted in terms of interfacial barrier to diffusion.

AB We report a simple route to generate nonequilibrium nanostructures combining two known block copolymer (BCP) morphologies by first templating the spatial arrangement of BCP in thin films using a supramolecule. The BCP subsequently assembles within the morphological framework established by the supramolecule, leading to a templated, nonequilibrium nanostructures not accessible by the BCP alone. Thin Films with hexagonally packed cylindrical domains oriented normal to the surface were formed initially by the self-assembly of the diblock copolymer-based supramolecules, comprised of symmetric polystyrene-b-poly-(4-vinylpyridine) (PS-b-P4VP) with 3-pentadecylphenol (PDP) hydrogen-bonded to the 4VP. After selective removal of similar to 90% of the PDP and a brief solvent annealing in a chloroform atmosphere, symmetric PS-b-P4VP, containing a trace amount of PDP, self-assembled forming polygonal (dominantly hexagonal) microdomains oriented normal to the surface. This process reported should c applicable to the large library of copolymer-based supramolecules and enables the generation of novel nonequilibrium nanostructured morphologies. It also provides a new platform to study the pathway-dependent self-assembly in polymer thin films.

AB Using SAXS data, the microstructure of the ionomer formed by copolymerization of tetrafluoroethylene and CF2=CFO(CF2)(4)SO3H films has been approached by two methods: a numerical method (the unified fit approach) utilizing a simple model of spherical scattering objects to determine the radius of gyration of different scattering features of the ionomer films and by a graphical method, the clipped random wave approach (CRW), using the scattering data and a porosity parameter to generate a random wave which is clipped to produce a real-space image of the microstructure. We studied films with EW of 733, 825, 900,and 1082 in both the as-cast and annealed "dry" and boiled "wet" states. The results of the two data analysis techniques are in good size agreement with each other. In addition, the CRW model show striking similarities to the structure proposed in a recent dissipative particle dynamic models. This has been the first time to our knowledge that the CRW technique has been applied to a PFSA type ionomer.

AB A fully instrumented slice of the ATLAS central detector was exposed to test beams from the SPS (Super Proton Synchrotron) at CERN in 2004. in this paper, the response of the central calorimeters to pions with energies in the range between 3 and 9 GeV is presented. The linearity and the resolution of the combined calorimetry (electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeters) was measured and compared to the prediction of a detector simulation program using the toolkit Geant 4.

AB One of the first fusion-evaporation experiments using radioactive ion beams was performed at GANIL in order to study proton-rich nuclei of the light rare-earth region. The low production cross-section of the exotic species of interest, in combination with the low intensity of the beam and its induced background, demanded the use of a highly efficient experimental setup. This consisted of the EXOGAM gamma-ray spectrometer coupled for the first time with both the DIAMANT charged-particle array and the VAMOS recoil spectrometer. in this report the experimental challenges of such studies will be discussed and the experimental achievements of the in-beam spectroscopy of proton drip-line nuclei using EXOGAM will be presented.

ID MODEL
AB It is a familiar fact that the total measured light yield of NaI(Tl) detectors is a nonlinear function of temperature. Here we present new experimental data for the temperature behavior of doped NaI(Tl) scintillators that instead shows a linear dependence of the light output over a wide temperature range-including that for outdoor applications. The shape of the light pulse shows, in general, two decay processes: a single dominant process (one decay-time constant) above the room temperature and two processes (two decay-time constants) below the room temperature. We show that the redistribution of the intensities between the two processes is temperature dependent: the second (slow) decay component is negligible at room temperatures, but by -20 degrees C, it contributes up to 40% of the total light and has a duration of several microseconds. We discuss the profound effect this new understanding of the light output has on the pulse-height analysis instrumentation. We introduce a theoretical model to explain the experimental results. In addition, we describe a unique technique for correcting both amplitude and shape temperature changes inside the NaI(Tl) detector package. Published by Elsevier B.V.

AB The human parasite Plasmodium falciparum enzymatically digests hemoglobin during its intra-erythrocytic developmental stages in acidic food vacuole compartments. The released heme is rapidly detoxified by polymerization into the chemically inert pigment, hemozoin. Several heme-binding anti-malarial compounds, such as chloroquine, efficiently inhibit this process, and this is believed to be the predominant mechanism by which these drugs induce parasite toxicity. In an effort to expand the biochemical tools available for exploration of this pathogen's basic biology, we chose this heme-detoxification pathway as a model system for exploring the suitability of DNA aptamers for modulating this essential parasite biochemical pathway. In this report, we demonstrate that heme-binding DNA aptamers efficiently inhibit in vitro hemozoin formation catalyzed by either a model lipid system or parasite-derived extracts just as or more potently than chloroquine. Furthermore, when parasites are grown in red cells loaded with heme-binding aptamers, their growth is significantly inhibited relative to parasites exposed to non-heme-binding DNA oligonucleotides. Both the timing of parasite-induced toxicity and the concentration of heme-binding aptamer required for inducing toxicity correlate well with the uptake of red cell cytosolic components by the parasite, and the requirement for compounds with similar in vitro hemozoin inhibitory potency to preconcentrate within the parasite before observing toxicity. Thus, these heme-binding aptamers recapitulate the in vitro hemozoin inhibition activity and induce parasite toxicity in a manner consistent with inhibition of this pathway. Altogether, these data demonstrate that aptamers can be versatile tools with applicability in functionally dissecting important P. falciparum-specific pathways both in vitro and in vivo.

AB We have used rapid thermal annealing to investigate the influence of N interstitials on the electronic properties of GaAsN alloys. Nuclear reaction analysis reveals an annealing-induced decrease in the interstitial N concentration, while the total N composition remains constant. Corresponding signatures for the reduced interstitial N concentration are apparent in Raman spectra. Following annealing, both the room-T carrier concentration, n, and the mobility increase. At higher measurement-Ts, a thermally activated increase in n suggests the presence of a trap near GaAsN conduction band edge with activation energy 85 +/- 15 meV. The annealing-induced increase in n suggests the association of the trap with interstitial N.

AB The integration of multifunctional oxides on semiconductor devices requires the formation of single-crystal-like oxide templates directly on silicon. We report the fabrication of quasi-single-crystal (001) SrTiO3 templates on (001) Si by annealing 100 nm thick molecular beam epitaxy-grown epitaxial SrTiO3 films at 900 degrees C. The full width at half maximum of the (002) rocking curve is 0.006 degrees, which is much narrower than SrTiO3 bulk single crystals. An atomically smooth TiO2-terminated surface is obtained by buffered-HF etching, which allows us to create functional oxide heterointerfaces on Si. Epitaxial SrRuO3 thin films grown on the quasi-single-crystal SrTiO3 template exhibit a superior crystalline quality and surface morphology.

AB Tomography of complex three-dimensional objects with diffractive waves remains an open challenge due to the large number of scattering measurements required to obtain a stable solution to the inverse problem of reconstructing an image of the object from a set of independent scattering experiments. Here, this problem is addressed with a multiscale approach that is demonstrated experimentally using ultrasonic waves and which leads to high resolution images comparable to x-ray computerized tomography but without the limitations associated with ionizing radiation.

AB We report a photovoltaic effect in ferroelectric BiFeO3 thin films. The all-oxide heterostructures with SrRuO3 bottom and tin doped indium oxide top electrodes are characterized by open-circuit voltages similar to 0.8-0.9 V and external quantum efficiencies up to similar to 10% when illuminated with the appropriate light. Efficiencies are at least an order of magnitude larger than the maximum efficiency under sunlight (AM 1.5) thus far reported for ferroelectric-based devices. The dependence of the measured open-circuit voltage on film thickness suggests contributions to the large open-circuit voltage from both the ferroelectric polarization and band offsets at the BiFeO3/tin doped indium oxide interface.

AB The South Pole Telescope (SPT) is conducting a Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect survey over large areas of the southern sky, searching for massive galaxy clusters to high redshift. In this preliminary study, we focus on a 40 deg(2) area targeted by the Blanco Cosmology Survey (BCS), which is centered roughly at right ascension 5(h)30(m), declination -53 degrees (J2000). Over two seasons of observations, this entire region has been mapped by the SPT at 95 GHz, 150 GHz, and 225 GHz. We report the four most significant SPT detections of SZ clusters in this field, three of which were previously unknown and, therefore, represent the first galaxy clusters discovered with an SZ survey. The SZ clusters are detected as decrements with greater than 5 sigma significance in the high-sensitivity 150 GHz SPT map. The SZ spectrum of these sources is confirmed by detections of decrements at the corresponding locations in the 95 GHz SPT map and nondetections at those locations in the 225 GHz SPT map. Multiband optical images from the BCS survey demonstrate significant concentrations of similarly colored galaxies at the positions of the SZ detections. Photometric redshift estimates from the BCS data indicate that two of the clusters lie at moderate redshift (z similar to 0.4) and two at high redshift (z greater than or similar to 0.8). One of the SZ detections was previously identified as a galaxy cluster in the optical as part of the Abell supplementary southern cluster catalog and in the X-ray using data from the ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS). Potential RASS counterparts (not previously identified as clusters) are also found for two of the new discoveries. These first four galaxy clusters are the most significant SZ detections from a subset of the ongoing SPT survey. As such, they serve as a demonstration that SZ surveys, and the SPT in particular, can be an effective means for finding galaxy clusters.

AB We present observations of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect (SZE) in the Bullet cluster (1E 0657-56) using the APEX-SZ instrument at 150 GHz with a resolution of 1'. The main results are maps of the SZE in this massive, merging galaxy cluster. The cluster is detected with 23 sigma significance within the central 1' radius of the source position. The SZE map has a broadly similar morphology to that in existing X-ray maps of this system, and we find no evidence for significant contamination of the SZE emission by radio or IR sources. In order to make simple quantitative comparisons with cluster gas models derived from X-ray observations, we fit our data to an isothermal elliptical beta model, despite the inadequacy of such a model for this complex merging system. With an X-ray-derived prior on the power-law index, beta = 1.04(-0.10)(+0.16), we find a core radius r(c) = 142 '' +/- 18 '', an axial ratio of 0.889 +/- 0.072, and a central temperature decrement of -771 +/- 71 mu K(CMB), including a +/- 5.5% flux calibration uncertainty. Combining the APEX-SZ map with a map of projected electron surface density from Chandra Xray observations, we determine the mass-weighted temperature of the cluster gas to be T(mg) = 10.8 +/- 0.9 keV, significantly lower than some previously reported X-ray spectroscopic temperatures. Under the assumption of an isothermal cluster gas distribution in hydrostatic equilibrium, we compute the gas mass fraction for prolate and oblate spheroidal geometries and find it to be consistent with previous results from X-ray and weak-lensing observations. This work is the first result from the APEX-SZ experiment, and represents the first reported scientific result from observations with a large array of multiplexed superconducting transition-edge sensor bolometers.

AB We present Keck II NIRSPEC rest-frame optical spectra for three recently discovered lensed galaxies: the Cosmic Horseshoe (z = 2.38), the Clone (z = 2.00), and SDSS J090122.37+181432.3 (z = 2.26). The boost in signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) from gravitational lensing provides an unusually detailed view of the physical conditions in these objects. A full complement of high S/N rest-frame optical emission lines is measured, spanning from rest frame 3600 to 6800 angstrom, including robust detections of fainter lines such as H gamma, [S II]lambda 6717,6732, and in one instance [Ne III]lambda 3869. SDSS J090122.37+181432.3 shows evidence for active galactic nucleus activity, and therefore we focus our analysis on star-forming regions in the Cosmic Horseshoe and the Clone. For these two objects, we estimate a wide range of physical properties. Current lensing models for the Cosmic Horseshoe and the Clone allow us to correct the measured Ha luminosity and calculated star formation rate. Metallicities have been estimated with a variety of indicators, which span a range of values of 12 + log(O/H) = 8.3-8.8, between similar to 0.4 and similar to 1.5 of the solar oxygen abundance. Dynamical masses were computed from the Ha velocity dispersions and measured half-light radii of the reconstructed sources. A comparison of the Balmer lines enabled measurement of dust reddening coefficients. Variations in the line ratios between the different lensed images are also observed, indicating that the spectra are probing different regions of the lensed galaxies. In all respects, the lensed objects appear fairly typical of ultraviolet-selected star-forming galaxies at z similar to 2. The Clone occupies a position on the emission-line diagnostic diagram of [O III]/H beta versus [N II]/H alpha that is offset from the locations of z similar to 0 galaxies. Our new NIRSPEC measurements may provide quantitative insights into why high-redshift objects display such properties. From the [S II] line ratio, high electron densities (similar to 1000 cm(-3)) are inferred compared to local galaxies, and [O III]/[O II] line ratios indicate higher ionization parameters compared to the local population. Building on previous similar results at z similar to 2, these measurements provide further evidence (at high S/N) that star-forming regions are significantly different in high-redshift galaxies, compared to their local counterparts.

AB High-resolution observations of Sgr A* have revealed a wide variety of phenomena, ranging from intense rapid flares to quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs), making this object an ideal system to study the properties of low luminosity accreting black holes. In this paper, we use a pseudospectral algorithm to construct and evolve a three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model of the accretion disk in Sgr A*. Assuming a hybrid thermal nonthermal emission scheme and calibrating the parameters by observations, we show that the MHD turbulence in the environment of Sgr A* can by itself only produce factor two fluctuations in luminosity. These fluctuations cannot explain the magnitude of flares observed in this system. However, we also demonstrate that external forcing of the accretion disk, which may be generated by the "clumpy material" raining down onto the disk from the large-scale flow, do produce outbursts qualitatively similar to those observed by XMM-Newton in X-rays and by ground- based facilities in the near infrared. Strong, but short-term QPOs emerge naturally in the simulated light curves. We attribute these to nonaxisymmetric density perturbations that emerge as the disk evolves back toward its quiescent state.

AB We present new results of searches for neutrino point sources in the northern sky, using data recorded in 2007-2008 with 22 strings of the IceCube detector (approximately one-fourth of the planned total) and 275.7 days of live time. The final sample of 5114 neutrino candidate events agrees well with the expected background of atmospheric muon neutrinos and a small component of atmospheric muons. No evidence of a point source is found, with the most significant excess of events in the sky at 2.2 sigma after accounting for all trials. The average upper limit over the northern sky for point sources of muon-neutrinos with E(-2) spectrum is E(2) Phi(v mu) < 1.4 x 10(-11) TeV cm(-2) s(-1), in the energy range from 3 TeV to 3 PeV, improving the previous best average upper limit by the AMANDA-II detector by a factor of 2.

AB Molecular mixing measurements are reported for a high-Schmidt-number (Sc similar to 10(3)), small-Atwood-number (A approximate to 7.5 x 10(-4)) buoyancy-driven turbulent Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) mixing layer in a water channel facility. Salt was added to the top water stream to create the desired density difference. The degree of molecular mixing was measured as a function of time by monitoring a diffusion-limited chemical reaction between the two fluid streams. The pH of each stream was modified by the addition of acid or alkali such that a local neutralization reaction occurred as the two fluids molecularly mixed. The progress of this neutralization reaction was tracked by the addition of phenolphthalein - a pH-sensitive chemical indicator - to the acidic stream. Accurately calibrated backlit optical techniques were used to measure the average concentration of the Coloured chemical indicator. Comparisons of chemical product formation for pre-transitional buoyancy- and shear-driven mixing layers are given. It Is also shown that experiments performed at different equivalence ratios (acid/alkali concentrations) can be combined to obtain a mathematical relationship between the Coloured product formed and the density variance. This relationship was used to obtain high-fidelity quantitative measures of the degree of molecular mixing which are independent of probe resolution constraints. The dependence of molecular mixing on the Schmidt and Reynolds numbers is examined by comparing the current Sc similar to 10(3) measurements with previous Sc = 0.7 gas-phase and Pr = 7 (where Pr is the Prandtl number) liquid-phase measurements. This comparison indicates that the Schmidt number has a large effect on the quantity of mixed fluid at small Reynolds numbers Re(h) < 10(3). At larger Reynolds numbers, corresponding to later times in this experiment, all mixing parameters indicated a greater degree of molecular mixing and a decreased Schmidt number dependence. Implications for the development and quantitative assessment of turbulent transport and mixing models appropriate for RT instability-induced mixing are discussed.

AB An inverse kinematics Coulomb excitation experiment was performed to obtain absolute E2 and M1 transition strengths in Xe-134. The measured transition strengths indicate that the 2(3)(+) state of Xe-134 is the dominant fragment of the one-phonon 2(1,ms)(+) mixed-symmetry state. Comparing the energy of the 2(1,ms)(+) mixed-symmetry state in Xe-134 to that of the 2(1,ms)(+) levels in the N = 80 isotonic chain indicates that the separation in energy between the fully-symmetric 2(1)(+) state and the 2(1,ms)(+) level increases as a function of the number of proton pairs Outside the Z = 50 shell closure. This behavior call be understood as resulting from the mixing of the basic components of a two-fluid quantum system. A phenomenological fit based on this concept was performed. It provides the first experimental estimate of the strength of the proton-neutron quadrupole interaction derived from nuclear collective states with symmetric and antisymmetric nature.

AB The mechanics of contact between rough and imperfectly spherical adhesive powder grains are often complicated by a variety of factors, including several which vary over sub-grain length scales. These include several traction factors that vary spatially over the surface of the individual grains, including high energy electron and acceptor sites (electrostatic), hydrophobic and hydrophilic sites (electrostatic and capillary), surface energy (general adhesion), geometry (van der Waals and mechanical), and elasto-plastic deformation (mechanical). For mechanical deformation and reaction, coupled motions. such as twisting as well as surface roughness add an asymmetry to the contact force which with bending and sliding, invalidates assumptions for popular models of contact, such as the Hertzian and its derivatives [H. Hertz, Uber die Beruhrung fester elastische korper. journal fur die reine and angewandte Mathematik 1882; 92: 156-171; R.D. Mindlin, Compliance of elastic bodies in contact. Journal of Applied Mechanics 1949; 71: 259268; R.D. Mindlin, H. Deresiewicz, Elastic spheres in contact under varying oblique forces. Journal of Applied Mechanics 1953; 20: 269-286], for the non-adhesive case, and the JKR [K.L Johnson, K. Kendall, A.D. Roberts, Surface energy and the contact of elastic solids. Proceedings of the Royal Society of London 1971; 324: 301313] and DMT [B.V. Derjaguin, V.M. Muller, Y.P. Toporov, Effect of contact deformations on the adhesion of particles. Journal of Colloid and Interface Science 1975; 53: 314-326] models for adhesive contacts. Though several contact laws have been offered to ameliorate these drawbacks, they are often constrained to particular loading paths (most often normal loading) and are relatively complicated for computational implementation. This paper offers a simple and general computational method for augmenting contact law predictions in multi-body simulations through characterization of the contact surfaces using a hierarchically-defined surface sub-discretization. For the case of adhesive contact between powder grains in low-stress regimes, this technique can allow a variety of existing contact laws to be resolved across scales, allowing for moments and torques about the contact area as well as normal and tangential tractions to be resolved. This is especially useful for multi-body simulation applications where the modeler desires statistical distributions and calibration for parameters in contact laws commonly used for resolving near-surface contact mechanics. The approach is verified against analytical results for the case of rough, elastic spheres. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB A large volume of today's research deals with nanophases of various types. The materials engineer, chemist. or physicist, however, when dealing with applications of nanophases is often unaware of the effect of the small size on structure and properties. The smallest nanophases reach the limit of phase definitions by approaching atomic dimensions. There, the required homogeneity of a phase is lost and undue property fluctuations destroy the usefulness of thermodynamic functions. In fact. it was not expected that a definite nanophase would exist below the size of a microphase. An effort is made in this review to identify macrophases, microphases, and nanophases. It is shown that nanophases should contain no bulk matter as defined by macrophases and also found in microphases. The structure and properties of nanophases, thus, must be different from macrophases and microphases. These changes may include different crystal and amorphous structures, and phase transitions of higher or of lower temperature. The phase properties are changing continuously when going from one surface to the opposite one. The discussion makes use of results from structure determination, calorimetry, molecular motion evaluations, and molecular dynamics simulations. Published by Elsevier B.V.

AB High-resolution photodetachment spectra of C(3)O(-) and C(3)S(-) using slow photoelectron velocity-map imaging spectroscopy are reported. Well-resolved transitions to the neutral X approximate to (1)Sigma(+) state are seen for both species. The electron affinities of C(3)O and C(3)S are determined to be EA(C(3)O)=1.237 +/- 0.003 eV and EA(C(3)S)=1.5957 +/- 0.0010 eV, respectively. Several vibrational frequencies for gas phase C(3)O and C(3)S are determined for the first time. The long progression of bending modes observed in the spectra is consistent with electronic structure calculations predicting that the C(3)O(-) and C(3)S(-) have bent equilibrium geometries.

AB The mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase protein family has a critical role in cellular signaling events, with MAP kinase p38 alpha acting in inflammatory processes and being an important drug discovery target. MAP kinase drug design efforts have focused on small-molecule inhibitors of the ATP catalytic site, which exhibit dose-limiting adverse effects. Therefore, characterizing other potential sites that bind substrates, inhibitors, or allosteric effectors is of great interest. Here, we present the crystal structure of human p38 alpha MAP kinase, which has a lead compound bound both in the active site and in the lipid-binding site of the C-terminal cap. This C-terminal cap is formed from an extension to the kinase fold, unique to the MAP kinase and cyclin-dependent kinase families and glycogen synthase kinase 3. Binding of this lead, 4-[3-(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]pyridine, to wild-type p38 alpha induces movement of the C-terminal cap region, creating a hydrophobic pocket centered around residue Trp197. Computational analysis of this C-terminal domain pocket indicates notable flexibility for potentially binding different-shaped compounds, including lipids, oxidized arachidonic acid species such as leukotrienes, and small-molecule effectors. Furthermore, our structural results defining the open p38 alpha C-lobe pocket provide a detailed framework for the design of novel small molecules with affinities comparable to active-site binders: to bind and potentially modulate the shape and activity of p38 alpha in predetermined ways. Moreover, these results and analyses of p38 alpha suggest strategies for designing specific binding compounds applicable to other MAP kinases, as well as the cyclin-dependent kinase family and glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta that also utilize the C-terminal insert in their interactions.

AB A search for a narrow diphoton mass resonance is presented based on data from 3.0 fb(-1) of integrated luminosity from pp collisions at s=1.96 TeV collected by the CDF experiment. No evidence of a resonance in the diphoton mass spectrum is observed, and upper limits are set on the cross section times branching fraction of the resonant state as a function of Higgs boson mass. The resulting limits exclude Higgs bosons with masses below 106 GeV/c(2) at a 95% Bayesian credibility level for one fermiophobic benchmark model.

AB We report on a first search for production of the lightest neutral CP-even Higgs boson (h) in the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model, where h decays to a pair of neutral pseudoscalar Higgs bosons (a), using 4.2 fb(-1) of data recorded with the D0 detector at Fermilab. The a bosons are required to either both decay to mu(+)mu(-) or one to mu(+)mu(-) and the other to tau(+)tau(-). No significant signal is observed, and we set limits on its production as functions of M-a and M-h.

AB The MiniBooNE Collaboration reports a search for nu(mu) and nu(mu) disappearance in the Delta m(2) region of 0.5-40 eV(2). These measurements are important for constraining models with extra types of neutrinos, extra dimensions, and CPT violation. Fits to the shape of the nu(mu) and nu(mu) energy spectra reveal no evidence for disappearance at the 90% confidence level (C.L.) in either mode. The test of nu(mu) disappearance probes a region below Delta m(2)=40 eV(2) never explored before.

TI Do Gluons Carry Half of the Nucleon Momentum?
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS
LA English
DT Article
AB We examine the conventional picture that gluons carry about half of the nucleon momentum in the asymptotic limit. We show that this large fraction is due to an unsuitable definition of the gluon momentum in an interacting theory. If defined in a gauge-invariant and consistent way, the asymptotic gluon momentum fraction is computed to be only about one-fifth. This result suggests that the asymptotic limit of the nucleon spin structure should also be reexamined. A possible experimental test of our finding is discussed in terms of novel parton distribution functions.

SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS

SCATTERING; NEUTRINOS; NUCLEI; PHOTON
AB The momentum transfer Delta k required for a photon to scatter from a target and emerge as a rho(0) decreases as the photon energy k rises. For k > 3x10(14) eV, Delta k is small enough that the interaction cannot be localized to a single nucleus. At still higher energies, photons may coherently scatter elastically from bulk matter and emerge as a rho(0), in a manner akin to kaon regeneration. Constructive interference from the different nuclei coherently raises the cross section and the interaction probability rises linearly with energy. At energies above 10(23) eV, coherent conversion is the dominant process; photons interact predominantly as rho(0). We compute the coherent scattering probabilities in slabs of lead, water, and rock, and discuss the implications of the increased hadronic interaction probabilities for photons on ultrahigh energy shower development.

TI Transition from collisional to kinetic regimes in large-scale
reconnection layers
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS
LA English
DT Article
ID FAST MAGNETIC RECONNECTION; MODEL
AB Using fully kinetic simulations with a Fokker-Planck collision operator, it is demonstrated that Sweet-Parker reconnection layers are unstable to plasmoids (secondary islands) for Lundquist numbers beyond S greater than or similar to 1000. The instability is increasingly violent at higher Lundquist numbers, both in terms of the number of plasmoids produced and the super-Alfveacutenic growth rate. A dramatic enhancement in the reconnection rate is observed when the half-thickness of the current sheet between two plasmoids approaches the ion inertial length. During this transition to kinetic scales, the reconnection electric field rapidly exceeds the runaway limit, resulting in the formation of electron-scale current layers that are unstable to the continual formation of new plasmoids.

TI Probing Electron Correlation via Attosecond xuv Pulses in the Two-Photon
Double Ionization of Helium
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS

DT Article
ID DIFFERENTIAL CROSS-SECTIONS; PHOTO-DOUBLE-IONIZATION; COLLISIONS; STATE;

AB Recent experimental developments of high-intensity, short-pulse extreme ultraviolet light sources are enhancing our ability to study electron-electron correlations. We perform time-dependent calculations to investigate the so-called "sequential" regime (h omega > 54.4 eV) in the two-photon double ionization of helium. We show that attosecond pulses allow us not only to probe but also to induce angular and energy correlations of the emitted electrons. The final momentum distribution reveals regions dominated by the Wannier ridge breakup scenario and by postcollision interaction.

TI Heavy-Light Fermion Mixtures at Unitarity
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS
LA English
DT Article
AB We investigate fermion pairing in the unitary regime for a mass ratio corresponding to a (6)Li-(40)K mixture using quantum Monte Carlo methods. The ground-state energy and the average light- and heavy-particle excitation spectrum for the unpolarized superfluid state are nearly independent of the mass ratio. In the majority light system, the polarized superfluid is close to the energy of a phase separated mixture of nearly fully polarized normal and unpolarized superfluid. For a majority of heavy particles, we find an energy minimum for a normal state with a ratio of similar to 3:1 heavy to light particles. A slight increase in attraction to k(F)a approximate to 2.5 yields a ground state energy of nearly zero for this ratio. A cold unpolarized system in a harmonic trap at unitarity should phase separate into three regions, with a shell of unpolarized superfluid in the middle.

AB We describe a method to engineer giant nonlinearities in, and probes to measure nonlinear observables of, mesoscopic quantum resonators. This involves tailoring the Hamiltonian of a simple auxiliary system perturbatively coupled to the resonator, and has the potential to engineer a wide range of nonlinearities to high accuracy. We give a number of explicit examples, including a readily realizable two-qubit auxiliary system that creates an x(4) potential and a chi((3)) (Kerr) nonlinearity, valid to fifth order in the perturbative coupling.

SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS

DT Article
ID CASIMIR FORCE; MU-M
AB We have measured the short-range attractive force between crystalline Ge plates, and found contributions from both the Casimir force and an electrical force possibly generated by surface patch potentials. Using a model of surface patch effects that generates an additional force due to a distance dependence of the apparent contact potential, the electrical force was parametrized using data at distances where the Casimir force is relatively small. Extrapolating this model, to provide a correction to the measured force at distances less than 5 mu m, shows a residual force that is in agreement, within experimental uncertainty, with five models that have been used to calculate the Casimir force.

AB Here we report the first angle-resolved photoemission measurement on nearly optimally doped multilayer Tl-based superconducting cuprates (Tl-2212 and Tl-1223) and a comparison study to single-layer (Tl-2201) compound. A "kink" in the band dispersion is found in all three compounds but exhibits different momentum dependence for the single-layer and multilayer compounds, reminiscent to that of Bi-based cuprates. This layer number dependent renormalization effect strongly implies that the spin-resonance mode is unlikely to be responsible for the dramatic renormalization effect near the antinodal region.

This equation is derived from fundamental thermodynamics and validated by various metallic glasses with well-defined yielding. The linearity between tau(y) and T-g demonstrates the intrinsic correlation between yielding and glass-liquid transition, which contributes to the basic understanding of the strength and deformation of glassy alloys.

AB An odd number of gapless Dirac fermions is guaranteed to exist at a surface of a strong topological insulator. We show that in a thin-film geometry and under external bias, electron-hole pairs that reside in these surface states can condense to form a novel exotic quantum state which we propose to call "topological exciton condensate" (TEC). This TEC is similar in general terms to the exciton condensate recently argued to exist in a biased graphene bilayer, but with different topological properties. It exhibits a host of unusual properties including a stable zero mode and a fractional charge +/- e/2 carried by a singly quantized vortex in the TEC order parameter.

AB Pretargeted radioimmunotherapy (PRIT) is designed to enhance the directed delivery of radionuclides to malignant cells. Through a series of studies in 19 nonhuman primates (Macaca fascicularis), the potential therapeutic advantage of anti-CD45 PRIT was evaluated. Anti-CD45 PRIT demonstrated a significant improvement in target-to-normal organ ratios of absorbed radiation compared with directly radiolabeled bivalent antibody ( conventional radioimmunotherapy [RIT]). Radio-DOTA-biotin administered 48 hours after anti-CD45 streptavidin fusion protein (FP) [BC8(scFv)(4)SA] produced markedly lower concentrations of radiation in nontarget tissues compared with conventional RIT. PRIT generated superior target: normal organ ratios in the blood, lung, and liver (10.3:1, 18.9:1, and 9.9:1, respectively) compared with the conventional RIT controls (2.6:1, 6.4:1, and 2.9:1, respectively). The FP demonstrated superior retention in target tissues relative to comparable directly radiolabeled bivalent anti-CD45 RIT. The time point of administration of the second step radiolabeled ligand (radio-DOTA-biotin) significantly impacted the biodistribution of radioactivity in target tissues. Rapid clearance of the FP from the circulation rendered unnecessary the addition of a synthetic clearing agent in this model. These results support proceeding to anti-CD45 PRIT clinical trials for patients with both leukemia and lymphoma. (Blood. 2009; 114: 1226-1235)

AB The three human LIG genes encode polypeptides that catalyze phosphodiester bond formation during DNA replication, recombination and repair. While numerous studies have identified protein partners of the human DNA ligases (hLigs), there has been little characterization of the catalytic Properties of these enzymes. In this study, we developed and optimized a fluorescence-based DNA ligation assay to characterize the activities of purified hLigs. Although hLigI joins DNA nicks, it has no detectable activity on linear duplex DNA substrates with short, cohesive single-strand ends. By contrast, hLigIII beta and the hLigIII alpha/XRCC1 and hLigIV/XRCC4 complexes are active on both nicked and linear duplex DNA substrates. Surprisingly, hLigIV/XRCC4, which is a key component of the major non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) pathway, is significantly less active than hLigIII on a linear duplex DNA substrate. Notably, hLigIV/XRCC4 molecules only catalyze a single ligation event in the absence or presence of ATP. The failure to catalyze subsequent ligation events reflects a defect in the enzyme-adenylation step of the next ligation reaction and suggests that, unless there is an in vivo mechanism to reactivate DNA ligase IV/XRCC4 following phosphodiester bond formation, the cellular NHEJ capacity will be determined by the number of adenylated DNA ligaseIV/XRCC4 molecules.

AB In this letter the transition of a strong 3-D collisionless shock into sub-Alfvenic waves is numerically. The transition occurs due to changes in the background plasma parameters. The Alfvenic speed eventually exceeds the shock speed; the shock does not run out of energy. At this velocity transition, the shock disassembles into two types of waves: the usual compressional Alfvenic wave and a left-hand polarized electromagnetic shear Alfvenic wave. This latter wave shows remarkable 3-D coherence, and preliminary analysis suggests that there are two possible sources of energy: one is coupling to the strong electromagnetic waves that exist within the collisionless shock and the other is the density and magnetic field gradients at the interface.

AB There is a considerable controversy surrounding the nature of the Cl(-)/OH complex in aqueous solution, which appears as a byproduct of the irradiation of salt solutions in nuclear reactor operation, radioactive waste storage, medicine, and environmental problems. In this work, we report results of combined quantum mechanical molecular mechanics calculations of ground-state free-energy surfaces and absorption spectrum through the CCSDT level of theory that are consistent with the experimental data and suggest that hemibonded HOCl(-) species may indeed exist in bulk aqueous solution.

AB The reduction of oxyiron(V), Fe(v)O(4)(3-) by inorganic oxysulfur species (SO(3)(2-) and S(2)O(3)(2-)) has been anaerobically in alkaline medium by using a premix pulse radiolysis technique. Studies on the reactions of Fe(VI)O(4)(2-) with the two sulfur radicals were also carried out. The spectroscopic results demonstrated that sulfur radicals reduced Fe(VI)O(4)(2-) to Fe(V)O(4)(3-) which is subsequently reduced by oxysulfur species by a two-electron reduction step to Fe(III). The rate constants for reduction of Fe(VI)O(4)(2-) to Fe(V)O(4)(3-) by sulfite and thiosulfate radicals ((center dot)SO(3)(-) and S(4)O(6)(center dot 3-)) were found to be (1.9 +/- 0.3) x 10(8) and (7.5 +/- 0.8) x 10(7) M(-1) s(-1), respectively, However, the reactions of Fe(V)O(4)(3-) with the SO(3)(2-) and S(2)O(3)(2-) ions were separated by an order of magnitude, with SO(3)(2-) reacting at (3.9 +/- 0.3) x 10(4) M(-1) s(-1) while S(2)O(3)(2-) reacted with Fe(V) at (2.1 +/- 0.1) x 10(3) M(-1) s(-1) at pH 11.4.

AB The influence of particle size in the carbon monoxide hydrogenation reaction has been studied using cobalt nanoparticles (NPs) with narrow size distribution prepared from colloidal chemistry. The surfactant covering the NPs after synthesis could be removed by heating to 200-270 degrees C in H(2). Soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy was performed using a gas flow cell under reaction conditions of H(2) and CO at atmospheric pressure. Flow of pure hydrogen at 350 degrees C removed the protecting surfactant layer and reduced the NPs from oxidized to metallic. The NPs remained metallic during the methanation reaction with their surface covered by CO. The methanation turnover frequency of silica-supported NPs was found to decrease with diameter below 10 nm, whereas the reaction activation energy was found to be independent of NP size. H-D exchange experiments indicated that it is the dissociation of H(2) that is responsible for the observed decrease in activity with size.

AB A multiscale simulation model is used to construct potential and free energy surfaces for the carbohydrate-binding module [CBM] from an industrially important cellulase, Trichoderma reesei cellobiohydrolase 1, on the hydrophobic face of a coarse-grained cellulose 1 beta polymorph. We predict from computation that the CBM alone exhibits regions of stability on the hydrophobic face of cellulose every 5 and 10 angstrom, corresponding to a glucose unit and a cellobiose unit, respectively. In addition, we predict a new role for the CBM: specifically, that in the presence of hydrolyzed cellulose chain ends, the CBM exerts a thermodynamic driving force to translate away from the free cellulose chain ends. This suggests that the CBM is not only required for binding to cellulose, as has been known for two decades, but also that it has evolved to both assist the enzyme in recognizing a cellulose chain end and exert a driving force on the enzyme during processive hydrolysis of cellulose.

AB Over the past decade the emphasis on single-molecule sensitivity of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has brought to prominence the special role played by so-called SERS hot spots, often times nanometerscale junctions between nanoparticles (NPs). In this report, molecular linkers are used to mediate the assembly of NPs to dimers and small clusters. When the SERS enhancement is optimized, the aggregation process is quenched by polymer and protein stabilizers that subsequently act as encapsulants resulting in SERS substates with unprecedented enhancement uniformity, reproducibility, and stability. The polymer-stabilized NP junctions were then imprinted with a variety of small molecules that permeated the polymer coat and displaced the linker from the hot spot. The average SERS enhancement of these SERS "nanocapsules" was found to be at least 300x greater than for single NPs, while the Raman/Rayleigh scattering ratio was 101 higher for linked NPs versus nonoptimized aggregates. Single-particle statistics showed that almost every nanocapsule produced intense SERS, suggesting that they are NT dimers and small clusters with the probe molecule resident in a hot spot. Nanocapsules were functionalized and shown to compete successfully with fluorescence imaging in multiplexed identification of cancer cell epitopes at the single-cell and single-nanotag level.

AB Nylon 6,6 thin films have been examined by Raman spectroscopy to determine how chain conformation is influenced by environmental parameters such as exposure to water and temperature variations. The motivation for this work is to elucidate how interactions between water and the model polymers mediate polymer structures in applications such as the removal of salt from water in reverse osmosis membranes. Raman spectra show that model self-assembled monolayers containing Nylon 6,6 chains are semicrystalline under ambient conditions. The native chains adopt an unusual kinked and folded conformation related to that found in gamma-Nylon 6,6. The regular chain deformations allow adjacent tethered chains to maximize hydrogen-bonding between neighboring amide groups under the constraints imposed by Surface tethering. With increasing temperature, the films undergo a phase transition associated with the disruption of hydrogen bonds leading to structures containing more linear regions that are closer to the "all trans" case. Similar structural changes are observed on exposing the Nylon films to water. The salt content of the water does not appear to have a significant impact on the structure or phase transition in the Nylon 6,6. These results suggest that while inclusion of water has a profound effect on the polymer structure, either salt is excluded from the polymer or there is sufficient free volume within the films to accommodate hydrated ions without inducing further structural changes.

AB We Study the relation between the hydrogen bonding and the vibrational frequency spectra of water on the (110) surface of rutile (alpha-TiO2) with three structural layers of adsorbed water, Using ab initio molecular dynamics simulations at 280, 300, and 320 K, we find strong, crystallographically controlled adsorption sites, in general agreement with synchrotron X-ray and classical molecular dynamics simulations. We demonstrate that these sites are produced by strong hydrogen bonds formed between the surface oxygen atoms and the sorbed water molecules. The strength of these bonds is manifested by substantial broadening of the stretching mode vibrational band. The overall vibrational spectrum obtained from our simulations is in good agreement with inelastic neutron scattering experiments. We correlate the vibrational spectrum with different bonds at the surface to transform these vibrational measurements into a spectroscopy of surface interactions.

AB Lung surfactant (LS) and albumin compete for the air-water interface when both are present in solution. Equilibrium favors LS because it has a lower equilibrium surface pressure, but the smaller albumin is kinetically favored by faster diffusion. Albumin at the interface creates an energy barrier to subsequent LS adsorption that can be overcome by the depletion attraction induced by polyethylene glycol (PEG) in solution. A combination of grazing incidence x-ray diffraction (GIXD), x-ray reflectivity (XR), and pressure-area isotherms provides molecular-resolution information on the location and configuration of LS, albumin, and polymer. XR shows an average electron density similar to that of albumin at low surface pressures, whereas GIRD shows a heterogeneous interface with coexisting LS and albumin domains at higher surface pressures. Albumin induces a slightly larger lattice spacing and greater molecular tilt, similar in effect to a small decrease in the surface pressure. XR shows that adding PEG to the LS-albumin subphase restores the characteristic LS electron density profile at the interface, and confirms that PEG is depleted near the interface. GIXD shows the same LS Bragg peaks and Bragg rods as on a pristine interface, but with a more compact lattice corresponding to a small increase in the surface pressure. These results confirm that albumin adsorption creates a physical barrier that inhibits LS adsorption, and that PEG in the subphase generates a depletion attraction between the LS aggregates and the interface that enhances LS adsorption without substantially altering the structure or properties of the LS monolayer.

AB Background: Many species of stalk-eyed flies (Diopsidae) possess highly-exaggerated, sexually dimorphic eye-stalks that play an important role in the mating system of these flies. Eye-stalks are increasingly being used as a model system for studying sexual selection, but little is known about the genetic mechanisms producing variation in these ornamental traits. Therefore, we constructed an EST database of genes expressed in the developing eye-antennal imaginal disc of the highly dimorphic species Teleopsis dalmanni. We used this set of genes to construct microarray slides and compare patterns of gene expression between lines of flies with divergent eyespan.
Results: We generated 33,229 high-quality ESTs from three non-normalized libraries made from the developing eye-stalk tissue at different developmental stages. EST assembly and annotation produced a total of 7,066 clusters comprising 3,424 unique genes with significant sequence similarity to a protein in either Drosophila melanogaster or Anopheles gambiae. Comparisons of the transcript profiles at different stages reveal a developmental shift in relative expression from genes involved in anatomical structure formation, transcription, and cell proliferation at the larval stage to genes involved in neurological processes and cuticle production during the pupal stages. Based on alignments of the EST fragments to homologous sequences in Drosophila and Anopheles, we identified 20 putative gene duplication events in T. dalmanni and numerous genes undergoing significantly faster rates of evolution in T. dalmanni relative to the other Dipteran species. Microarray experiments identified over 350 genes with significant differential expression between flies from lines selected for high and low relative eyespan but did not reveal any primary biological process or pathway that is driving the expression differences.
Conclusion: The catalogue of genes identified in the EST database provides a valuable framework for a comprehensive examination of the genetic basis of eye-stalk variation. Several candidate genes, such as crooked legs, cdc2, CG31917 and CG11577, emerge from the analysis of gene duplication, protein evolution and microarray gene expression. Additional comparisons of expression profiles between, for example, males and females, and species that differ in eye-stalk sexual dimorphism, are now enabled by these resources.

AB About 50% of the increase in China's NOx emissions since 2000 can be attributed to the construction of new power plants. We show that the newly added NOx emissions from new power plants in Inner Mongolia, China, were detected by the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) aboard NASA's Aura satellite. Increase rates of NO2 columns from OMI and NOx emissions from inventories are even in quantitative agreement in cases where new facilities are added to already-developed regions. This study confirms that the OMI products are quite capable of identifying the construction of large new emitting facilities through detection of their NOx emissions. Citation: Zhang, Q., D. G.

TI Energy Efficiency Limits for a Recuperative Bayonet Sulfuric Acid
Decomposition Reactor for Sulfur Cycle Thermochemical Hydrogen
Production
SO INDUSTRIAL & ENGINEERING CHEMISTRY RESEARCH

DT Article
AB A recuperative bayonet reactor design for the high-temperature sulfuric acid decomposition step in sulfur-based thermochemical hydrogen cycles was evaluated using pinch analysis in conjunction with statistical methods. The objective was to establish the minimum energy requirement. Taking hydrogen production via alkaline electrolysis with nuclear power as the benchmark, the acid decomposition step can consume no more than 450 kJ/(mol of SO(2)) for sulfur cycles to be competitive. The lowest value of the minimum heating target, 320.9 kJ/(mol of SO(2)), was found at the highest pressure (90 bar) and peak process temperature (900 degrees C) considered, and at a feed concentration of 42.5 mol % H(2)SO(4). This should be low enough for a practical water-splitting process, even including the additional energy required to concentrate the acid feed. Lower temperatures consistently gave higher minimum heating targets. The lowest peak process temperature that could meet the benchmark of 450 kJ/(mol of SO(2)) was 7.50 degrees C. If the decomposition reactor were to be heated indirectly by an advanced gas-cooled reactor heat source (50 degrees C temperature difference between the primary and secondary coolants, 25 degrees C minimum temperature difference between the secondary coolant and the process), then sulfur cycles using this concept could be: competitive with alkaline electrolysis provided that the primary heat source temperature is at least 825 degrees C. The bayonet design will not be practical if the (primary heat source) reactor outlet temperature is below 825 degrees C.

AB Using low-energy electron microscopy, we measure the diffusion of Pd into bulk Cu at the Cu(100) surface. Interdiffusion is tracked by measuring the dissolution of the Cu(100)-c(2 x 2)-Pd surface alloy during annealing (T > 240 degrees C). The activation barrier for Pd diffusion from the surface alloy into the bulk is determined to be (1.8 +/- 0.6) eV. During annealing, we observe the growth of a new layer of Cu near step edges. Under this new Cu layer, dilute Pd remaining near the surface develops a layered structure similar to the Cu(3)Pd L1(2) bulk alloy phase.

AB We report a simple and general procedure to create arrays of atomically flat terraces on single crystal surfaces. Facets of three-dimensional (3D) metal islands formed after hetero-epitaxial growth are often flat and, through annealing or growth at elevated temperature, the formation of rather large (micron-scale) atomically flat-top facets can be promoted. We find that the step-free nature of top facets on such islands can be transferred to the substrate surface through room-temperature ion-sputter etching, followed by an annealing step. We use low-energy electron microscopy (LEEM) and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) for in situ monitoring of the process steps while fabricating arrays of step-free surface regions on W(110), Ru(0001), Cu(100), and Fe(100) single crystals.

AB CO oxidation over oxygen-rich Ru(0001) surfaces is one of the most studied catalytic oxidation reactions in surface science and of widespread interest as a model system for the redox chemistry of transition metal model catalysts. Here, we present an extensive low-energy electron microscopy (LEEM) and photoemission electron microscopy study of the oxidation of Ru(0001), which constitutes a crucial step in understanding the overall surface reaction. After characterizing the different surface nanoscale morphologies observed depending on the oxidation temperature, three distinct oxygen-rich phases are identified by dark-field microscopy and local valence-band spectroscopy. Furthermore, in situ LEEM allows us to follow the growth of single rutile oxide nuclei in real time and determine the relevant activation barriers that induce quasi-one-dimensional growth of oxide nanorods, whose growth rate is limited by O incorporation.

AB The pre-adsorption of Ga on Si(112) leads to a drastic change of the morphology of subsequently grown Ge islands. In contrast to the case for Ge growth on bare Si(112), even nanowire growth can be achieved on Ga terminated Si(112). Employing low energy electron microscopy and low energy electron diffraction, the initial phase of Ge nucleation and Ge island growth was systematically analysed for growth temperatures between 420 and 610 degrees C, both on clean and on Ga terminated Si(112). In both cases the island density exhibits an Arrhenius-like behaviour, from which diffusion barrier heights of about 1.3 and 1.0 eV can be estimated for growth with and without Ga pre-adsorption, respectively. The Ge island shape on the bare Si(112) surface is found to be nearly circular over the whole temperature range, whereas the shapes of the Ge islands on the Ga terminated Si(112) become highly anisotropic for higher temperatures. Ge nanowires with sizes of up to 2 mu m along the [1 (1) over bar0] direction are observed.

AB Determining architectures of multicomponent proteins or protein complexes in solution is a challenging problem. Here we report a methodology that simultaneously uses residual dipolar couplings (RDC) and the small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) restraints to mutually orient subunits and define the global shape of multicomponent proteins and protein complexes. Our methodology is implemented in an efficient algorithm and demonstrated using five examples. First, we demonstrate the general approach with simulated data for the HIV-1 protease, a globular homodimeric protein. Second, we use experimental data to determine the structures of the two-domain proteins L11 and gamma D-Crystallin, in which the linkers between the domains are relatively rigid. Finally, complexes with K(d) values in the high micro- to millimolar range (weakly associating proteins), such as a homodimeric GB1 variant, and with K(d) values in the nanomolar range (tightly bound), such as the heterodimeric complex of the ILK ankyrin repeat domain (ARD) and PINCH LIM1 domain, respectively, are evaluated. Furthermore, the proteins or protein complexes that were determined using this method exhibit better solution structures than those obtained by either NMR or X-ray crystallography alone as judged based on the pair-distance distribution functions (PDDF) calculated from experimental SAXS data and back-calculated from the structures.

AB We present the results of a detailed operando XAFS and density functional theory (DFT)-based ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) investigation of a proposed mechanism of the dehydrogenation of dimethylaminoborane (DMAB) by a homogeneous Rh(4) cluster catalyst. Our AND simulations reveal that previously proposed Rh structures, based on XAFS measurements, are highly fluxional, exhibiting both metal cluster and ligand isomerizations and dissociation that can only be accounted for by examining a finite temperature ensemble. It is found that a fluxional species Rh(4)(H(2)BNMe(2))(8)(2+) is fully compatible with operando XAFS measurements, suggesting that this species may be the observed catalyst resting state. On the basis of this assignment, we propose a mechanism for catalytic DMAB dehydrogenation that exhibits an energy barrier of approximately 28 kcal/mol.

AB Colloidal nanocrystal quantum dots (NODS) of narrow band gap materials are of substantial general interest because of their unparalleled potential as infrared fluorophores. While PbSe NODS are a promising class of infrared-active nanocrystals due to high emission quantum yields and a wide useful spectral range, typical synthetic methods are sensitive to a variety of factors, including the influence of solvent/ligand impurities that render reproducibility difficult. In this work, we specifically examine the effects of diphenylphosphine and 1,2-hexadecanediol, as surrogates for putative trioctylphosphine-based reducing impurities, on the synthesis of PbSe NODS. Specifically, we compare their influence on NOD size, chemical yield, and photoluminescence quantum yield. While both additives substantially increase the chemical yield of the synthesis, they demonstrate markedly different effects on emission quantum yield of the product NODS. We further examine the effects of reaction temperature and oleic acid concentration on the diol-assisted synthesis. Increased oleic acid concentration led to somewhat higher growth rates and larger NODS but at the expense of lower chemical yield. Temperature was found to have an even greater effect on growth rate and NOD size. Neither temperature nor oleic acid concentration was found to have noticeable effects on NOD emission quantum yield. Finally, we use numerical simulations to support the conjecture that the increased yield is likely a result of faster monomer formation, consistent with the activation of an additional reaction pathway by the reducing species.

AB Solar wind driving can cause a variety of different responses in the magnetosphere. Strong and steady driving during geomagnetic storms may result in sawtooth events. Strong to moderate driving may be followed by either sawtooth events or steady magnetospheric convection (SMC) events. Lower solar wind energy input typically leads to the formation of isolated non-storm substorms. This study uses superposed epoch analysis to reveal the typical properties of these three event groups as well as their similarities and differences. We use IMF and solar wind parameters, as well as ground-based indices (AL, SYM-H, ASY-H, PCN) to examine the level of solar wind driving and its response in the magnetosphere. Our results show that sawtooth events are associated with the strongest ionospheric activity. The subgroups of events during constant solar wind E-gamma show that the key difference between the events is the average solar wind speed. Particularly, the high activity during sawtooth events is driven by high solar wind speed, while the lowest average speed during the SMCs may explain the lack of substorm activity during the steady convection periods.

AB Determining the transient chemical properties of the intracellular environment can elucidate the paths through which a biological system adapts to changes in its environment, for example, the mechanisms that enable some obligate anaerobic bacteria to survive a sudden exposure to oxygen. Here we used high-resolution Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectromicroscopy to continuously follow cellular chemistry within living obligate anaerobes by monitoring hydrogen bond structures in their cellular water. We observed a sequence of well orchestrated molecular events that correspond to changes in cellular processes in those cells that survive, but only accumulation of radicals in those that do not. We thereby can interpret the adaptive response in terms of transient intracellular chemistry and link it to oxygen stress and survival. This ability to monitor chemical changes at the molecular level can yield important insights into a wide range of adaptive responses.

AB Peripheral membrane proteins of the Bin/amphiphysin/Rvs (BAR) and Fer-CIP4 homology-BAR (F-BAR) family participate in cellular membrane trafficking and have been shown to generate membrane tubules. The degree of membrane bending appears to be encoded in the structure and immanent curvature of the particular protein domains, with BAR and F-BAR domains inducing high-and low-curvature tubules, respectively. In addition, oligomerization and the formation of ordered arrays influences tubule stabilization. Here, the F-BAR domain-containing protein Pacsin was found to possess a unique activity, creating small tubules and tubule constrictions, in addition to the wide tubules characteristic for this subfamily. Based on crystal structures of the F-BAR domain of Pacsin and mutagenesis studies, vesiculation could be linked to the presence of unique structural features distinguishing it from other F-BAR proteins. Tubulation was suppressed in the context of the full-length protein, suggesting that Pacsin is autoinhibited in solution. The regulated deformation of membranes and promotion of tubule constrictions by Pacsin suggests a more versatile function of these proteins in vesiculation and endocytosis beyond their role as scaffold proteins.

AB During antigen recognition by T cells, signaling molecules on the T cell engage ligands on the antigen-presenting cell and organize into spatially distinctive patterns. These are collectively known as the immunological synapse (IS). Causal relationships between large-scale spatial organization and signal transduction have previously been established. Although it is known that receptor transport during IS formation is driven by actin polymerization, the mechanisms by which different proteins become spatially sorted remain unclear. These sorting processes contribute a facet of signal regulation; thus their elucidation is important for ultimately understanding signal transduction through the T cell receptor. Here we investigate protein cluster size as a sorting mechanism using the hybrid live T cell-supported membrane system. The clustering state of the co-stimulatory molecule lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) is modulated, either by direct antibody crosslinking or by crosslinking its intercellular adhesion molecule-1 ligand on the supported bilayer. In a mature IS, native LFA-1 generally localizes into a peripheral ring surrounding a central T cell receptor cluster. Higher degrees of LFA-1 clustering, induced by either method, result in progressively more central localization, with the most clustered species fully relocated to the central zone. These results demonstrate that cluster size directly influences protein spatial positioning in the T cell IS. We discuss a sorting mechanism, based on frictional coupling to the actin cytoskeleton, that is consistent with these observations and is, in principle, extendable to all cell surface proteins in the synapse.

AB Aneuploidy, the most common chromosomal abnormality at birth and the main ascertained cause of pregnancy loss in humans, originates primarily from chromosome segregation errors during oogenesis. Here, we report that heterozygosity for a mutation in the mitotic checkpoint kinase gene, Bub1, induces aneuploidy in female germ cells of mice and that the effect increases with advancing maternal age. Analysis of Bub1 heterozygous oocytes showed that aneuploidy occurred primarily during the first meiotic division and involved premature sister chromatid separation. Furthermore, aneuploidy was inherited in zygotes and resulted in the loss of embryos after implantation. The incidence of aneuploidy in zygotes was sufficient to explain the reduced litter size in matings with Bub1 heterozygous females. No effects were seen in germ cells from heterozygous males. These findings show that Bub1 dysfunction is linked to inherited aneuploidy in female germ cells and may contribute to the maternal age-related increase in aneuploidy and pregnancy

AB The vast sequence divergence among different virus groups has presented a great challenge to alignment-based sequence comparison among different virus families. Using an alignment-free comparison method, we construct the whole-proteome phylogeny for a population of viruses from 11 viral families comprising 142 large dsDNA eukaryote viruses. The method is based on the feature frequency profiles (FFP), where the length of the feature (l-mer) is selected to be optimal for phylogenomic inference. We observe that (i) the FFP phylogeny segregates the population into clades, the membership of each has remarkable agreement with current classification by the International Committee on the Taxonomy of Viruses, with one exception that the mimivirus joins the phycodnavirus family; (ii) the FFP tree detects potential evolutionary relationships among some viral families; (iii) the relative position of the 3 herpesvirus subfamilies in the FFP tree differs from gene alignment-based analysis; (iv) the FFP tree suggests the taxonomic positions of certain 'unclassified'' viruses; and (v) the FFP method identifies candidates for horizontal gene transfer between virus families.

AB Traditional high efficiency spin-polarized electron sources (SPES) consist mainly of binary or pseudobinary zinc-blende GaAs based materials, whereas their ternary analogs II-IV-V-2 (II=Zn, Cd, IV=Si, Ge, Sn, and V=As) as well as II-VI ternary analogs I-III-VI2 (I=Cu, Ag, III=Al, Ga, In, and VI=Se) have not drawn wide attention because their crystal field splitting Delta(CF) near the valence band maximum is either negative or close to zero in their ground state chalcopyrite structure. Using first-principles calculations, we show that some derivative quaternary I-III-II2-VI4 and II-IV-III2-V-4 compounds can have coherent ground state stannite or kesterite structures with large and positive Delta(CF) due to their increased chemical and structural flexibility. We propose that ZnSiAl2As4 and CdGeAl2As4 in the stannite structure, and ZnSnGa2As4 and CuAlCd2Se4 in the kesterite structure could be good candidate SPES materials with high polarization and quantum efficiency.

AB Reflection high energy electron diffraction, atomic force microscopy, and theoretical studies based on classical nucleation theory have been used to interpret the morphology, orientation relationship, and stability of Cu2O nanoclusters on SrTiO3 (100) (STO). We propose that the competing interfacial and elastic energies facilitate an in-plane rotation of the Cu2O clusters by 45 degrees with respect to the STO substrate and stabilize Cu2O clusters on STO(100) with an orientation relationship of (001)(Cu2)O//(001)(SrTiO3) and << 100 >> O-Cu2//<< 110 >>(SrTiO3). Our preliminary theoretical analysis also suggests that this particular orientation results in smaller critical nucleus sizes and lower nucleation barriers and also indicates a chemical potential (growth rate) dependence of the orientation relationship.

AB The temperature dependence of resistance in parallel (P) and antiparallel (AP) configurations (R-P,R-AP) has been investigated in epitaxial Fe/MgO/Fe junctions with varying MgO barrier thicknesses t(MgO). R-AP exhibits a substantial decrease with increasing temperature for samples with t(MgO) ranging from 3.0 to 1.5 nm. In contrast, R-P is approximately temperature independent when t(MgO)=3.0 nm and increases with temperature when t(MgO)=2.1 and 1.5 nm. Possible origins of this temperature dependence of resistance, which include taking into account a spin independent term and consideration of spin-flip scattering, are discussed. We attribute the temperature dependence of R-P,R-AP to the misalignment of magnetic moments in the electrodes due to thermal excitations and its effect on the spin dependent tunneling.

AB The synchrotron high-energy x-ray diffraction provides the direct crystallographic evidence for the magnetic-field-driven preferential rearrangements of martensite multivariants in antiferromagnetic CoO crystal. When a magnetic field was incrementally applied up to 6 T on the CoO single crystal cooled below the Neacuteel temperature, the martensite variants with the magnetization easy-axis parallel to the magnetic field direction (H) were consumed, while the variants with magnetic moments perpendicular to H were enhanced. The microscopic origin for the observation is discussed, which provides important information for understanding the magnetic-field-driven strain observed in the antiferromagnetic alloys, with a selection principle on martensite variants different from that found in the ferromagnetic shape memory alloys.

AB We report magnetoresistive and structural measurements of superconducting FeSe0.5Te0.5 epitaxial thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition. Enhanced onset superconducting transition temperature (similar to 17 K) is observed in some of these films. Structural analysis by x-ray diffraction and high resolution transmission electron microscopy reveal that these films generally have significantly shorter out-of-plane lattice constant c than the bulk value, suggesting that the out-of-plane changes have a dominating impact on the superconducting transition in iron-based superconductors. Our data also indicate that the upper critical field H-c2(0) of those films may reach as high as 50 T.

AB Background: Initial interest in Dechloromonas aromatica strain RCB arose from its ability to anaerobically degrade benzene. It is also able to reduce perchlorate and oxidize chlorobenzoate, toluene, and xylene, creating interest in using this organism for bioremediation. Little physiological data has been published for this microbe. It is considered to be a free-living organism.
Results: The a priori prediction that the D. aromatica genome would contain previously characterized "central" enzymes to support anaerobic aromatic degradation of benzene proved to be false, suggesting the presence of novel anaerobic aromatic degradation pathways in this species. These missing pathways include the benzylsuccinate synthase (bssABC) genes ( responsible for fumarate addition to toluene) and the central benzoyl-CoA pathway for monoaromatics. In depth analyses using existing TIGRfam, COG, and InterPro models, and the creation of de novo HMM models, indicate a highly complex lifestyle with a large number of environmental sensors and signaling pathways, including a relatively large number of GGDEF domain signal receptors and multiple quorum sensors. A number of proteins indicate interactions with an as yet unknown host, as indicated by the presence of predicted cell host remodeling enzymes, effector enzymes, hemolysin-like proteins, adhesins, NO reductase, and both type III and type VI secretory complexes. Evidence of biofilm formation including a proposed exopolysaccharide complex and exosortase (epsH) are also present. Annotation described in this paper also reveals evidence for several metabolic pathways that have yet to be observed experimentally, including a sulphur oxidation (soxFCDYZAXB) gene cluster, Calvin cycle enzymes, and proteins involved in nitrogen fixation in other species ( including RubisCo, ribulose-phosphate 3-epimerase, and nif gene families, respectively).
Conclusion: Analysis of the D. aromatica genome indicates there is much to be learned regarding the metabolic capabilities, and life-style, for this microbial species. Examples of recent gene duplication events in signaling as well as dioxygenase clusters are present, indicating selective gene family expansion as a relatively recent event in D. aromatica's evolutionary history. Gene families that constitute metabolic cycles presumed to create D. aromatica's environmental 'foot-print' indicate a high level of diversification between its predicted capabilities and those of its close relatives, A. aromaticum str EbN1 and Azoarcus BH72.

AB The reaction of cis-[Fe-III(cyclam)Cl-2]Cl with 1 equiv of sodium N-diethyldithiocarbamate, toluene-3,4-dithiolate, and maleonitriledithiolate in methanol in the presence of triethylamine afforded the cations [Fe-III(cyclam)(Et(2)dtc)](2+) (1), [Fe-III(cyclam)(tdt)](+) (2), and [Fe-III(cyclam)(mnt)](+) (3), which were isolated as triflate, hexafluorophosphate, and tetrafluoroborate salt, respectively, using sodium triflate, potassium hexafluorophosphate, or sodium tetrafluoroborate as the source for the counteranion. Complexes 1, 2, and 3 possess an S = 1/2 ground state (low-spin ferric d(5)). These salts were characterized by X-ray crystallography, UV-vis, Mossbauer, and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopies. Cyclic voltammetry revealed that 2 and 3 are reversibly one-electron-reduced, generating neutral 2(red) and 3(red) respectively, and one-electron-oxidized, generating dicationic 2(ox) and 3(ox), respectively. Fe and S K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) revealed that 2 (S = 1/2) and 2(ox) (S = 0) possess a low-spin ferric ion. Complexes 2 and 3 are S,S'-coordinated to a closed-shell dithiolate(2-) ligand, whereas 2(ox) and 3(ox) consist of a low-spin ferric ion antiferromagnetically coupled to a dithiolate(1-) pi radical ligand. They are singlet diradicals [Fe-III(cyclam)(dithiolate(center dot))](2+). The analysis of the sulfur K pre-edge transitions reveals significant multiplet effects in the spectra of 2 and 2(ox), which provide rare experimental evidence for a singlet diradical description for 2(ox). Mossbauer spectroscopy on frozen solutions of 2(red) clearly show the presence of a high-spin ferrous ion (S = 2). The experimentally established electronic structures of the three members of the electron transfer series [Fe(cyclam) (dithiolate)](2+,+,0) have been verified by broken symmetry density functional theoretical calculations, which have been calibrated against the experiment by calculating XAS and Mossbauer spectra.

AB Skin color has changed during human evolution. These changes may result from adaptations to solar ultraviolet radiation (protection of sweat glands, sunburn, skin cancer, vitamin D deficiency, defence against microorganisms, etc.), and/or sexual selection. Migration to areas with high levels of UV is associated with skin darkening, while migration to areas with low levels has led to skin lightening. However, other factors may have played roles. Temperature and food have probably been secondary determinants: heat exchange with the environment is dependent on ambient temperature, and a high intake of food rich in vitamin D allows a dark skin color to persist even at latitudes of low UV levels, as exemplified by Inuit's living at high latitudes. Future studies of human migration will show if skin lightening is a faster process and has a higher evolutionary impact than skin darkening. Maybe due to that some American Indians have kept a relatively light skin although they live under the equator.
The following hypotheses for skin darkening are reviewed: shielding of sweat glands and blood vessels in the skin, protection against skin cancer and overproduction of vitamin D, camouflage, adaptation to different ambient temperatures, defense against microorganisms, protection against folate photodestruction. Hypotheses for skin lightening are: sexual selection, adaptation to cold climates, enhancement of vitamin D photoproduction, and changing food habits leading to lower intake of vitamin D. The genetical processes behind some of the changes of skin color will be also briefly reviewed. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB Using a signal-to-noise ratio estimation based on correlations between multiple simulated images, we compare the dose efficiency of two soft x-ray imaging systems: incoherent brightfield imaging using zone plate optics in a transmission x-ray microscope (TXM), and x-ray diffraction microscopy (XDM) where an image is reconstructed from the far-field coherent diffraction pattern. In XDM one must computationally phase weak diffraction signals; in TXM one suffers signal losses due to the finite numerical aperture and efficiency of the optics. In simulations with objects representing isolated cells such as yeast, we find that XDM has the potential for delivering equivalent resolution images using fewer photons. This can be an important advantage for studying radiation-sensitive biological and soft matter specimens. (C) 2009 Optical Society of America

AB The combination of adaptive optics (AO) technology with optical coherence tomography (OCT) instrumentation for imaging the retina has proven to be a valuable tool for clinicians and researchers in understanding the healthy and diseased eye. The micrometer-isotropic resolution achieved by such a system allows imaging of the retina at a cellular level, however imaging of some cell types remains elusive. Improvement in contrast rather than resolution is needed and can be achieved through better AO correction of wavefront aberration. A common tool for assessing and ultimately improving AO system performance is the development of an error budget. Specifically, this is a list of the magnitude of the constituent residual errors of an optical system so that resources can be directed towards efficient performance improvement. Here we present an error budget developed for the UC Davis AO-OCT instrument indicating that bandwidth and controller errors are the limiting errors of our AO system, which should be corrected first to improve performance. We also discuss the scaling of error sources for different subjects and the need to improve the robustness of the system by addressing subject variability. (C) 2009 Optical Society of America

AB The single-mode phase-sensitive parametric amplifier has been proposed as an approximation to an ideal quantum phase amplifier. We demonstrate numerically that a real, multimode parametric amplifier operated in the spatial domain, and realized by the use of three-wave mixing in nonlinear media, behaves similar to a single-mode quantum phase amplifier, but exhibits smaller phase gain. Constraints for operation in this regime are found to be consistent with small departures of phase from the ideal deamplification condition. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

ID NUCLEAR SHELL-MODEL; EXCITED-STATES; RATES; PARTICLES; DETECTOR;

AB Two complementary experimental techniques have been used to extract precise branching ratios to unbound states in C-12 from N-12 and B-12 beta-decays. In the first the three alpha-particles emitted after decay are measured in coincidence in separate detectors, while in the second method N-12 and B-12 are implanted in a detector and the summed energy of the three a-particles is measured directly. For the narrow states at 7.654 MeV (0(+)) and 12.71 MeV (1(+)) the resulting branching ratios are both smaller than previous measurements by a factor of similar or equal to 2. The experimental results are compared to no-core shell model calculations with realistic interactions from chiral perturbation theory, and inclusion of three-nucleon forces is found to give improved agreement.

AB Protein-based nanomedicine platforms for drug delivery comprise naturally self-assembled protein subunits of the same protein or a combination of proteins making up a complete system. They are ideal for drug-delivery platforms due to their biocompatibility and biodegradability coupled with low toxicity. A variety of proteins have been used and characterized for drug-delivery systems, including the ferritin/apoferritin protein cage, plant-derived viral capsids, the small Heat shock protein (sHsp) cage, albumin, soy and whey protein, collagen, and gelatin. There are many different types and shapes that have been prepared to deliver drug molecules using protein-based platforms, including various protein cages, microspheres, nanoparticles, hydrogels, films, minirods, and minipellets. The protein cage is the most newly developed biomaterial for drug delivery and therapeutic applications. The uniform size, multifunctionality, and biodegradability push it to the frontier of drug delivery. In. this Review, the recent strategic development of drug delivery is discussed with emphasis on polymer-based, especially protein-based, nanomedicine platforms for drug delivery. The advantages and disadvantages are also discussed for each type of protein-based drug-delivery system.

AB One approach for making inexpensive inorganic-organic hybrid photovoltaic (PV) cells is to fill highly ordered TiO(2) nanotube (NT) arrays with solid organic hole conductors such as conjugated polymers. Here, a new in situ UV polymerization method for growing polythiophene (UV-PT) inside TiO(2) NTs is presented and compared to the conventional approach of infiltrating NTs with pre-synthesized polymer. A nanotubular TiO(2) substrate is immersed in a 2,5-diiodothiophene (DT) monomer precursor solution and then irradiated with UV light. The selective UV photodissociation of the C-I bond produces monomer radicals with intact pi-ring structure that further produce longer oligothiophene/PT molecules. Complete photoluminescence quenching upon UV irradiation suggests coupling between radicals created from DIT and at the TiO(2) surface via a charge transfer complex. Coupling with the TiO(2) surface improves UV-PT crystallinity and pi-pi stacking; flat photocurrent values show that charge recombination during hole transport through the polymer is negligible. A non-ideal, backside-illuminated setup under illumination of 620-nm light yields a photocurrent density of approximate to 5 mu A cm(2) - surprisingly much stronger than with comparable devices fabricated with polymer synthesized ex situ. Since in this backside architecture setup we illuminate the cell through the Ag top electrode, there is a possibility for Ag plasmon-enhanced solar energy conversion. By using this simple in situ UV polymerization method that couples the conjugated polymer to the TiO(2) surface, the absorption of sunlight can be improved and the charge carrier mobility of the photoactive layer can be enhanced.

AB The photoreduction Of CO2 into methane provides a carbon-neutral energy alternative to fossil fuels, but its feasibility requires improvements in the photo-efficiency of materials tailored to this reaction. We hypothesize that mixed phase TiO2 nano-materials with high interfacial densities are extremely active photocatalysts well suited to solar fuel production by reducing CO2 to methane and shifting to visible light response. Mixed phase TiO2 films were synthesized by direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscope (AFM), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). Bundles of anatase-rutile nano-columns having high densities of two kinds of interfaces (those among the bundles and those between the columns) are fabricated. Films sputtered at a low deposition angle showed the highest methane yield, compared to TiO2 fabricated under other sputtering conditions and commercial standard Degussa P25 under UV irradiation. The yield of methane could be significantly increased (similar to 12% CO2 conversion) by increasing the CO2 to water ratio and temperature (<100 degrees C) as a combined effect. These films also displayed a light response strongly shifted into the visible range. This is explained by the creation of non-stoichiometric titania films having unique features that we can potentially tailor to the solar energy applications. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.

AB Reactive sputtering of titanium target in the presence of Ar/CH4 gas mixture has been investigated. With the addition of methane gas to above 1.5% of the process gas a transition from the metallic sputtering mode to the poison mode was observed as indicated by the change in cathode current. As the methane gas flow concentration increased up to 10%, the target was gradually poisoned. The hysteresis in the cathode current could be plotted by first increasing and then subsequently decreasing the methane concentration. X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses of the deposited films confirmed the formation of carbide phases and the transition of the process from the metallic to compound sputtering mode as the methane concentration in the sputtering gas is increased. The paper discusses a sputtering model that gives a rational explanation of the target poisoning phenomenon and shows an agreement between the experimental observations and calculated results.

AB Epitaxial gamma-Al2O3 thin films were grown on diverse substrates using pulsed laser deposition. The high quality of epitaxial growth and cubic structure of gamma-Al2O3 films was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. SrTiO3 and MgO single crystal substrates were used to optimize the growth conditions for epitaxial gamma-Al2O3 film. Under the optimized conditions, epitaxial gamma-Al2O3 thin films were grown on flexible, single-crystal-like, metallic templates. These included untextured Hastelloy substrates with a biaxially textured MgO layer deposited using ion-beam-assisted-deposition and biaxially textured Ni-W metallic tapes with epitaxially grown and a biaxially textured. MgO buffer layer. These biaxially textured, gamma-Al2O3 films on flexible, single-crystal-like substrates are promising for subsequent epitaxial growth of various complex oxide films used for electrical, magnetic and electronic device applications.

AB A low-cost, environmentally benign method was used to prepare nanostructured thin films of Co(5)(OH)(8) (NO(3))(2)center dot 2H(2)O, a layered double hydroxide p-type semiconductor. When infilled with poly(3-butylthiophene) (P3BT), an n-type semiconducting polymer, the resulting hybrid bulk heterojunction yields a photovoltaic device. The indium-doped tin oxide/Co(5)(OH)(8)(NO(3))(2)center dot 2H(2)O/P3BT/Al cell described here is an unprecedented example of an optoelectronic device fabricated by a low-cost biologically inspired pathway independent of organic structure-directing agents. Under illumination, this proof-of-principle device yields an open circuit voltage of 1.38 V, a short circuit current of 9 mu A/cm(2), a fill factor of 26% and a power efficiency of 3.2.10(-3)%. While the open circuit voltage of this prototype cell is close to its theoretical maximum, potential sources of the observed low efficiency are identified, and a suggested path for improvement is discussed.

TI Hydrogeochemistry and gas compositions of the Uinta Basin: A
regional-scale overview

ISOTOPIC COMPOSITION; ILLINOIS BASIN; MICHIGAN BASIN; NATURAL GASES;

AB The geochemistry of formation fluids (water and hydrocarbon gases) in the Uinta Basin, Utah, is evaluated at the regional scale based on fluid sampling and compilation of past records. The deep formation water is dominated by Na-Cl type where halite dissolution has the greatest effects on water chemistry. Its distribution and composition is controlled by both the lithology of geological formations and regional hydrodynamics. The origin of the saline waters in the southeastern basin is interpreted to be a mix of ancient evaporatively concentrated seawater with meteoric water recharged in the geological past, which has experienced water-rock interactions. At the basin scale, three-dimensional mapping of the dissolved solid contents further reveals that (1) in the northern Uinta Basin bordering the Uinta Mountains, significant flushing of the deep basinal brines up to 6-km (3.7-mi) depth by meteoric water has occurred, and (2) in the central basin groundwater discharge areas along the Green River Valley, regional upwelling of saline waters from 2- to 3-km (1.2- to 1.8-mi) depth is occurring. Moreover, gas composition and water-gas stable isotope characteristics in the central to southeastern basin indicate the presence of a deep, thermogenic, and regionally continuous gas deposit. In particular, gases sampled in this region from the Wasatch Formation and Mesaverde Group indicate a similar source rock (type III kerogen of the deeply buried, thermally mature Mesaverde Group in the central to northern basin) as well as migration from the Natural Buttes gas field toward the southeastern basin. Evidence for biogenic methane formation is observed only in the upper Green River Formation in the central to northern Uinta Basin. Here, the organic-rich, immature Green River shales experience meteoric water invasions and formation fluid chemistry, and stable isotope compositions are diagnostic of microbial methanogenesis.

AB Rationale and Objectives. Diffraction-enhanced imaging (DEI) is a new x-ray imaging modality that differs from conventional radiography in its use of three physical mechanisms to generate contrast. DEI is able to generate contrast from x-ray absorption, refraction, and ultra-small-angle scatter rejection (extinction) to produce high-contrast images with a much lower radiation dose compared to conventional radiography.
Materials and Methods. A prototype DEI system was constructed using a 1-kW tungsten x-ray tube and a single silicon monochromator and analyzer crystal. The monochromator crystal was aligned to reflect the combined K alpha 1 (59.32 keV) and K alpha 2 (57.98 keV) characteristic emission lines of tungsten using a tube voltage of 160 kV. System performance and demonstration of contrast were evaluated using a nylon monofilament refraction phantom, full-thickness breast specimens, a human thumb, and a live mouse.
Results. Images acquired using this system successfully demonstrated all three DEI contrast mechanisms. Flux measurements acquired using this 1-kW prototype system demonstrated that this design can be scaled to use a more powerful 60-kW x-ray tube to generate similar images with an image time of approximately 30 seconds. This single-crystal pair design can be further modified to allow for an array of crystals to reduce clinical image times to <3 seconds.
Conclusions. This paper describes the design, construction, and performance of a new DEI system using a commercially available tungsten anode x-ray tube and includes the first high-quality low-dose diffraction-enhanced images of full-thickness human tissue specimens.

DT Article

DEI; osteoarthritis; soft tissue imaging
ID ARTICULAR-CARTILAGE; SOFT-TISSUE; RADIOGRAPHY
AB Rationale and Objectives. In conventional projection radiography, cartilage and other soft tissues do not produce enough radiographic contrast to be distinguishable from each other. Diffraction-enhanced imaging (DEI) uses a monochromatic x-ray beam and a silicon crystal analyzer to produce images in which attenuation contrast is greatly enhanced and x-ray refraction at tissue boundaries can be detected. The aim of this study was to test the efficacy of conventional x-ray tube-based DEI for the detection of soft tissues in experimental samples.
Materials and Methods. Cadaveric human tali (normal and degenerated) and a knee and thumb were imaged with DEI using a conventional x-ray tube and DEI setup that included a double-silicon crystal monochromator and a silicon crystal analyzer positioned between the imaged object and the detector.
Results. Diffraction-enhanced images of the cadaveric tali allowed the visualization of cartilage and its specific level of degeneration for each specimen. There was a significant correlation between the grade of cartilage integrity as assessed on the tube diffraction-enhanced images and on their respective histologic sections (r = 0.977 P = .01). Images of the intact knee showed the articular cartilage edge of the femoral condyle, even when superimposed by the tibia. In the thumb image, it was possible to visualize articular cartilage, tendons, and other soft tissues.
Conclusion. DEI based on a conventional x-ray tube allows the visualization of skeletal and soft tissues simultaneously. Although more in-depth testing and optimization of the DEI setup must be carried out, these data demonstrate a proof of principle for further development of the technology for future clinical imaging.

AB Directly spinning carbon nanotube (CNT) fibers from vertically aligned CNT arrays is a promising way for the application of CNTs in the field of high-performance materials. However, most of the reported CNT arrays are not spinnable. In this work, by controlling catalyst pretreatment conditions, we demonstrate that the degree of spinnability of CNTs is closely related to the morphology of CNT arrays. Shortest catalyst pretreatment time led to CNT arrays with the best spinnability, while prolonged pretreatment resulted in coarsening of catalyst particles and nonspinnable CNTs. By controlling the coalescence of catalyst particles, we further demonstrate the growth of undulating CNT arrays with uniform and tunable waviness. The CNT arrays can be tuned from well-aligned, spinnable forests to uniformly wavy, foam-like films. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first systematical study on the correlation between catalyst pretreatment, CNT morphology, and CNT spinnability.

Using electrolytes instead of traditional oxide dielectrics in carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (FET) facilitates injection and accumulation of high densities of holes and electrons at very low gate voltages with minimal current hysteresis. We observe numerous emission spots, each corresponding to individual nanotubes in the array. The positions of these spots indicate the meeting point of the electron and hole accumulation zones determined by the applied gate and source-drain voltages. The movement of emission spots with gate voltage yields information about relative band gaps, contact resistance, defects, and interaction between carbon nanotubes within the array. Introducing thin layers of HfO(2) and TiO(2) provides a means to modify exciton screening without fundamentally changing the current-voltage characteristics or electroluminescence yield of these devices.

AB Tremendous research efforts have been spent on thiolated gold nanoparticles and self-assembled monolayers of thiolate (RS-) on gold, but thiolated gold nanowires have received almost no attention. Here we computationally design two such one-dimensional nanosystems by creating a linear chain of Au icosahedra, fused together by either vertex sharing or face sharing. Then neighboring Au icosahedra are bridged by five thiolate groups for the vertex-sharing model and three RS-Au-SR motifs for the face-sharing model. We show that the vertex-sharing thiolated gold nanowire can be made either semiconducting or metallic by tuning the charge, while the face-sharing one is always metallic, We explain this difference between the two nanowires by examining their band structures and invoking a previously proposed electron-count rule. Implications of our findings for previous experimentation of gold nanowires are discussed, and a potential way to make thiolated gold nanowires is proposed.

AB The production of biofuels using biomass is an alternative route to support the growing global demand for energy and to also reduce the environmental problems caused by the burning of fossil fuels. Cellulases are likely to play an important role in the degradation of biomass and the production of sugars for subsequent fermentation to fuel. Here, the crystal structure of an endoglucanase, Cel9A, from Alicyclobacillus acidocaldarius (Aa_Cel9A) is reported which displays a modular architecture composed of an N-terminal Ig-like domain connected to the catalytic domain. This paper describes the overall structure and the detailed contacts between the two modules. Analysis suggests that the interaction involving the residues Gln13 (from the Ig-like module) and Phe439 (from the catalytic module) is important in maintaining the correct conformation of the catalytic module required for protein activity. Moreover, the Aa_Cel9A structure shows three metal-binding sites that are associated with the thermostability and/or substrate affinity of the enzyme.

AB The title merocyanine-type molecule, C21H22N2O5 center dot 2H(2)O, crystallizes in a zwitterionic form and has an E configuration at the styryl C=C bond. The styryl part of the molecule and the indolium ring are slightly twisted and form a dihedral angle of 13.4 (1)degrees. The 1.274 (3) angstrom C-O bond length in the phenolate fragment is the longest among similar molecules. Hydrogen bonds between solvent water molecules, two hydroxyl groups and the phenolate O atom dictate the packing arrangement of molecules in the crystal and join the molecules into a two-dimensional polymeric network which propagates parallel to (001). Four water molecules and four hydroxy groups form a centrosymmetric homodromic cyclic motif of O-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds. Another cyclic centrosymmetric motif is generated by four water molecules and two phenolate O atoms.

AB The energies of a set of 388 distinct grain boundaries have been calculated based on embedded-atom method interatomic potentials for Ni and Al. The boundaries considered are a complete catalog of the coincident site lattice boundaries constructible in a computational cell of a prescribed size. Correlations of the boundary energy with other boundary properties (disorientation angle, Sigma value, excess boundary volume and proximity of boundary normals to < 111 >) are examined. None of the usual geometric properties associated with grain boundary energy are useful predictors for this data set. The data set is incorporated as supplementary material to facilitate the search for more complex correlations. The energies or corresponding boundaries in Ni and Al are found to differ by approximately a scaling factor related to the Voigt average shear modulus or C(44). Crystallographically close boundaries have similar energies; hence a table of grain boundary energies could be used for interpolation. (C) 2009 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

AB The absolute grain boundary mobility of 388 nickel grain boundaries was calculated using a synthetic driving force molecular dynamics method; complete results appear in the supplementary materials. Over 255 of the boundaries, including most of the non-Sigma 3 highest mobility boundaries, moved by a coupled shear mechanism. The range of non-shearing boundary mobilities is from 40 to 400 m/s GPa. except for Sigma 3 incoherent twins which have mobilities of 200-2000 m/s GPa. Some boundaries, including all the < 1 1 1 > twist boundaries, are immobile within the resolution of the simulation. Boundary mobility is not correlated with scalar parameters such as disorientation angle. Sigma value, excess volume or boundary energy. Boundaries less than 15 degrees from each other in five-dimensional crystallographic space tend to have similar mobilities. Some boundaries move via a non-activated motion mechanism, which greatly increases low-temperature mobility. Thermal roughening of grain boundaries is widely observed, with estimated roughening temperatures substantially among boundaries. (C) 2009 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

AB Elastic-plastic fracture mechanics experiments were conducted on three heats of 21Cr-6Ni-9Mn austensitic stainless steel (two forgings and one annealed material), emphasizing the effects of high concentrations of thermally precharged hydrogen as well as crack-growth orientation and ferrite content. Hydrogen was the dominant variable ill this study, causing a reduction ill fracture initiation toughness of greater than 80% in the forgings independent of crack-growth orientation and ferrite content. Reflecting the fracture toughness measurements, hydrogen also caused dramatic changes in fractures modes. Microscopy evidencce indicated that fracture in hydrogen-precharged materials was governed by localized deformation. The impingement of deformation bands on obstacles such as boundaries or intersecting deformation bands caused stress concentrations, leading to void or microcrack formation at these sites. It is postulated that void or microcrack formation can be solely attributed to hydrogen-enhanced localized deformation without invoking any mechanism where hydrogen directly lowers the fracture resistance.

AB The thermal stability of Cr-Cr3Si lamellar eutectic composites was investigated at temperatures up to 1400 degrees C. In drop-cast Cr-Cr3Si, coarsening was found to be interface controlled. The coarsening rate could be reduced by microalloying with Ce and Re, two elements which were chosen because they were expected to segregate to the Cr-Cr3Si interfaces. Similarly, directional solidification, whichc is also expected to lowere the Cr-Cr3Si interfacial energy, was found to dramatically decrease the coarsening rate. (C) 2009 Acta Materialia Inc.

AB Mo-1.5 at.% Si alloys with additions of either Y2O3 or Zr were manufactured by mechanical alloying. The Y2O3 particles reduced the grain size and increased the room temperature strength, but did not alleviate the brittleness of previously investigated Mo-1.5 at.% Si without Y2O3. Additions of Zr, on the other hand, resulted not only in a fine grain size and an extremely high bend strength (similar to 2 GPa), but also in limited bend ductility at room temperature. Zr additions are seen to be beneficial for three reasons. First, Zr reduces the grain size. Second, Zr getters detrimental oxygen by forming ZrO2 particles (which in turn help to pin the grain boundaries). Third, in situ Auger analysis shows that the Zr reduces the concentration of Si segregated at the grain boundaries. This is thought to enhance the grain boundary cohesive strength and thus leads to the observed ductility. (C) 2009 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB The micromechanical behavior of high-strength steels with multiple phases was characterized using the ill Situ high-energy X-ray diffraction technique. For the materials investigated, the {2 0 0} lattice strains of the Constituent phases (ferrite. bainite and martensite) with similar crystal structures were determined by separating their overlapped diffraction peaks and then examining the respective changes ill peak positions during deformation. Based oil those experimental data, the anisotropic elastic and plastic properties of the steels were simulated Using a self-consistent model for predicting the grain-to-grain and phase-to-phase interactions. The constitutive laws for describing the elastic and plastic behavior of each constituent phase were directly obtained by comparing the predicted lattice strain distributions with the measured ones. The transmission electron microscopy observations of the microstructure development verified the partitioning of plastic strains among different phases. The present investigations provide a fundamental Understanding of the stress partitioning of soft and hard phases, and the different work-hardening rates of the multiphase steels.

AB The feasibility of using "grain-boundary engineering" techniques to reduce the susceptibility of a metallic material to intergranular embrittlement in the presence of hydrogen is examined. Using thermo mechanical processing, the fraction of "special" grain boundaries was increased from 46% to 75% (by length) in commercially pure nickel samples. In the presence of hydrogen concentrations between 1200 and 3400 appm, the high special fraction microstructure showed almost double the tensile ductility; also, the proportion of intergranular fracture was significantly lower and the J(c) fracture toughness values were some 20-30%, higher in comparison with the low special fraction microstructure. We attribute the reduction in the severity of hydrogen-induced intergranular embrittlement to the higher fraction of special grain boundaries, where the degree of hydrogen segregation at these boundaries is reduced.

AB We investigate the bulk and surface features of the crystalline-amorphous transitions in binary Al-Mo alloy thin films as a function of Mo composition using transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy analysis, as well as thermodynamic modeling. Of the alloys tested, the minimum in the root mean square (rms) surface roughness and correlation length occurs at the Al-32 at.% Mo composition, which corresponds to the maximum volume fraction of the amorphous phase and the minimum volume fraction of the body centered cubic nanocrystallites. The rms surface roughness of the 32 at.% Mo films is on the order of a single nanometer, compared with nearly 80 nm for the 50 at.% Mo film. A structure-zone map is constructed to relate the surface morphology of the films to their bulk microstructure. A thermodynamic model developed by Miedema and coworkers was used to predict the general trends observed in the microstructural evolution as a function of film composition.

AB In many high performance engineering and scientific applications there is a need to use parallel software libraries. Researchers behind these applications find it difficult to understand the interfaces to these libraries because they carry arguments that are related to the parallel environment and performance in addition to arguments related to the problem at hand. In this paper we introduce the use of high level user interfaces for ScaLAPACK. Concretely, a Python-based interface to ScaLAPACK is proposed. Numerical experiments comparing traditional programming practices with our proposed approach are presented. These experiments evaluate not only the performance of the Python interfaces but also how user friendlier they are, compared to the original calls, and show that PyScaLAPACK does not hinder the performance deliverance of ScaLAPACK. Finally, an example of a real scientific application code, whose functionality can be prototyped or extended with the use of PyScaLAPACK, is presented. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB A novel method of guided wave-based structural health monitoring is developed in which no direct baseline data are required to identify structural damage. Conventional wave propagation structural health monitoring techniques involve the comparison of structural response data to a prerecorded baseline or reference measurement taken while the structure is in pristine condition. The need to compare new data to a prerecorded baseline can present several complications, including data management issues and difficulty in accommodating the effects of varying environmental and operational conditions on the data. To address the complications associated with baseline comparison, this new method accomplishes reference-free damage detection by acquiring what is referred to as an instantaneous baseline measurement for analysis. The instantaneous baseline technique is validated through both analytical and experimental testing. Analytical tests show that the instantaneous baseline method is able to correctly identify simulated damage. It is found experimentally that nonpermanent damage in the form of removable putty as well as permanent damage in the form of corrosion and cuts are all identifiable in thin aluminum plate test structures without direct comparison to baseline data when implementing the instantaneous baseline method.

AB Experimental model electron density distributions obtained for the silica polymorphs coesite and stishovite are comparable with electron density distributions calculated for various silicates and siloxane molecules. The Si-O bond lengths and Si-O-Si angles calculated with First-principles density functional theory methods as a function of pressure are also comparable with the bond lengths and angles observed for coesite and quartz within the experimental error. The similarity of the topological properties of the Si-O bonded interactions and the experimental and the geometry-optimized structures for the silica polymorphs provide a basis for understanding the properties and crystal chemistry of silica. The agreement supports the argument that the bulk of the structural and physical properties of the silica polymorphs are intrinsic properties of molecular-like coordination polyhedra such that the silica polymorphs can be pictured as "supermolecules" of silica bound by virtually the same forces that bind the Si and O atoms in simple siloxane molecules. The topology of the electron density distribution is consistent with the assertion that the Si-O bonded interaction arises from the net electrostatic attraction exerted on the nuclei by the electron density accumulated between the Si and O atoms. The correlation between the Si-O bond length and Si-O-Si angle is ascribed to the progressive local concentration of the electron density in the nonbonded lone pair region of the O atom rather than to a bonded interaction that involves the d-orbitals on Si.
The accumulation of deformation electron density, del rho(r), in the bonded and nonbonded regions of the Si-O bond, the close proximity of the bond critical point, r(c), of the bond with the nodal surface of the Laplacian and the negative value of the total energy density are taken as evidence that the bond has a nontrivial component of shared character. For M-O bonded interactions for first and second row metal atoms bonded to O, del(2)rho(r(c)) is positive and increases linearly as rho(r(c)) and G(r(c))/rho(r(c)) both increase and as the value of H(r(c)) decreases; the greater the shared character of the interaction, the larger the values of both del(2)rho(r(c)) and G(r(c))/rho(r(c)). In addition, a mapping of del(2)rho(r) serves to highlight those Lewis base domains that are susceptible to electrophilic attack by H, like the O atoms in coesite involved in bent Si-O-Si angles; the narrower the angle, the greater the affinity for H. On the basis of the net charges conferred on the Si and O atoms and the bonded radii of the two atoms, the Si-O bond for stishovite, with six-coordinated Si and three-coordinated O, is indicated to be more ionic in character than that in quartz with four-coordinated Si and two-coordinated O. Unlike the conclusion reached for ionic and crystal radii, it is the bonded radius of the O atom that increases with the increasing coordination number of Si, not the radius of the Si atom. The modeling of the electron density distributions for quartz, coesite, and beryl as a function of pressure suggests that the shared character of the bonded interactions in these minerals increases slightly with increasing pressure. The insight provided by the calculations and the modeling of the electron density distributions and the structures of the silica polymorphs bodes well for future Earth materials studies that are expected to improve and clarify our understanding of the connection between properties and structure within the framework of quantum mechanical observables, to find new and improved uses for the materials and to enhance our understanding of crystal chemistry and chemical reactions of materials in their natural environment at the atomic level.

AB The rapid separation of isomeric precursor ions of oligosaccharides prior to their analysis by mass spectrometry to the nth power (MS (n) ) was demonstrated using an ambient pressure ion mobility spectrometer (IMS) interfaced with a quadrupole ion trap. Separations were not limited to specific types of isomers; representative isomers differing solely in the stereochemistry of sugars, in their anomeric configurations, and in their overall branching patterns and linkage positions could be resolved in the millisecond time frame. Physical separation of precursor ions permitted independent mass spectra of individual oligosaccharide isomers to be acquired to at least MS(3), the number of stages of dissociation limited only practically by the abundance of specific product ions. IMS-MS (n) analysis was particularly valuable in the evaluation of isomeric oligosaccharides that yielded identical sets of product ions in tandem mass spectrometry experiments, revealing pairs of isomers that would otherwise not be known to be present in a mixture if evaluated solely by MS dissociation methods alone. A practical example of IMS-MS(n) analysis of a set of isomers included within a single high-performance liquid chromatography fraction of oligosaccharides released from bovine submaxillary mucin is described.

AB Determination of protein surface excess is an important way of evaluating the properties of biomaterials and the characteristics of biosensors. A single-molecule counting method is presented that uses a standard fluorescence microscope to measure coverage of a liquid/solid interface by adsorbed proteins. The extremely low surface excess of lysozyme and bovine serum albumin (BSA), in a bulk concentration range from 0.3 nmol L(-1) (0.02 mu g mL(-1)) to 3 nmol L(-1) (0.2 mu g mL(-1)), were measured by recording the counts of spatially isolated single molecules on either hydrophilic (glass) or hydrophobic (polydimethylsiloxane, PDMS) surfaces at different pH. The differences observed in amounts of adsorbed proteins under different experimental conditions can be qualitatively explained by the combined interactions of electrostatic and hydrophobic forces. This, in turn, implies that single- molecule counting is an effective way of measuring surface coverage at a liquid/solid interface.

AB This work provides plasmortic crystal platforms for quantitative imaging mode biosensing and multispectral immunoassays, establishing and validating both the optical and equilibrium bases for their operation. We investigated the distance-dependent refractive index sensitivity of full 3D plasmonic crystals to thin polymeric films formed using layer by layer (LbL) assembly of polyelectrolytes as a model system. LbL was also used to determine the preferred gold thickness and plasmonic crystal design rules (nanowell diameter and periodicity) for improved thin-film sensitivity, and full 3D finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) calculations were used to quantitatively model and confirm the experimentally observed thin film sensitivities. The integrated multispectral response of the crystals increases approximately linearly with film thickness for values <70 nm, which enables the use of molecular rulers with known thicknesses (such as self-assembled monolayers of alkanethiols on gold) to calibrate these optics for quantitative detection and speciation of surface binding events in a multiplexed imaging format. The utility of these sensors and multispectral analysis for applications in quantitative biosensing was further demonstrated by measuring the equilibrium response curve of an antibody/antigen pair (rabbit antigoat IgG/goat IgG) at increasing antigen concentrations. Fitting the integrated response to a langmuir isotherm yielded a calculated binding constant on the order of similar to 10(7) M-1, which is in agreement with the affinity constants reported in the literature for anti-IgG/IgG binding pairs and provides intrinsic detection limits of similar to 400 pM for such unamplified assays.

AB In conventional heterogeneous immunoassays, assay speed is usually limited by the rate of mass transport, i.e., diffusion of antigen to an antibody-coated surface. We previously demonstrated that assay speed can be significantly increased, without losing analytical sensitivity, by rapidly rotating the capture substrate, which decreases the thickness of the diffusion layer. In this work, we raised the rotation speed and observed that the capture of antigens deviates from the mass transport-limited assumption. To examine this issue, a general equation was derived for the rate of immuno-reaction on a rotating capture surface that takes into account both diffusion and the rate of reaction between antigen and antibody, which applies over a wide range of rotation rates. Results show that by vigorously rotating the substrate, the binding of antigens reaches a regime of intermediate binding kinetics, for which mass transport is comparable to the reaction rate. With this general solution, we are able to determine the two important binding kinetics parameters: the diffusion coefficient and the reaction rate constant. Then, using porcine parvovirus as an example, we use these parameters to investigate the limit of the assay speed and the limit of detection achievable on a practical time scale through numerical simulations of the kinetic binding curves for various assay conditions.

AB A new method that uses immobilized trypsin concomitant with ultrasonic irradiation results in ultrarapid digestion and more thorough O-18 labeling for quantitative protein comparisons. The method was reproducible and provided effective digestions within < 1 min with lower amounts of enzyme, compared to traditional methods. This method was demonstrated for digestion of both simple and complex protein mixtures, including bovine serum albumin, a global proteome extract from the bacteria Shewanella oneidensis, and mouse plasma, as well as O-18 labeling of complex protein mixtures, validating this method for differential proteomic measurements. This approach is simple, reproducible, cost-effective, rapid, and well suited for automation.

AB The maximum electric field intensity (E) in field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS) analyses was doubled to E > 60 kV/cm. In earlier devices with > 0.5 mm gaps, such strong fields cause electrical breakdown for nearly all gases at ambient pressure. As the Paschen curves are sublinear, thinner gaps permit higher E: here, we established 61 kV/cm in N(2) using microchips with 35 mu m gaps. As FAIMS efficiency is exceptionally sensitive to E, such values can in theory accelerate analyses at equal resolution by over an order of magnitude. Here we demonstrate FAIMS filtering in similar to 20 mu s or similar to 1% of the previously needed time, with a resolving power of about half that for "macroscopic" units but sufficing for many applications. Microscopic gaps enable concurrent ion processing in multiple (here, 47) channels, which greatly relaxes the charge capacity constraints of planar FAIMS designs. These chips were integrated with a beta-radiation ion source and charge detector. The separation performance is in line with first-principles modeling that accounts for high-field and anisotropic ion diffusion. By extending FAIMS operation into the previously inaccessible field range, the present instrument advances the capabilities for research into ion transport and expands options for separation of hard-to-resolve species.

AB Study of the mechanisms of monocyte adhesion initiating atheroslerotic lesions has engaged investigators for decades. Single-phase computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analyses fail to account for particulate migration. Consequently, inconsistencies arise when correlating adhesion with wall shear stress (WSS). The purpose of this paper is to present, to our knowledge, the first computational analysis of in vitro U937 monocyte-like human cell adhesion data using a coupled multiphase CFD-population balance adhesion model. The CFD model incorporates multiphase non-Newtonian hemodynamic models to compute the spatial distributions of freely flowing monocytes and WSSs in control volumes adjacent to the wall. Measurements of monocyte adhesion onto an E-selectin-coated flow model that included an idealized stenosis and an abrupt expansion were available from the literature. In this study, we develop a new monolayer population balance adhesion model, based on the widely accepted mechanism of ligand-receptor binding, coupled to the CFD results. The monolayer population balance model accounts for the interactions of freely flowing, rolling, and adhering monocytes with surfaces via first-order reactions, transport of rolling cells in the monolayer, and the concept of a WSS detachment threshold, clearly evident in the adhesion experiments. The new paradigm of coupling the multiphase hemodynamic CFD model with the proposed adhesion model is illustrated by determining and interpreting the model parameters for experimental datasets having Reynolds numbers of 100 and 140. The coupled multiphase CFD adhesion model is able to simultaneously predict the spatial variations in freely flowing monocytes, their adherent number density, and carrier fluid WSSs adjacent to ligand-coated flow cell surfaces.

TI A Pebble Bed Reactor cross section methodology
SO ANNALS OF NUCLEAR ENERGY
LA English
DT Article
AB A method is presented for the evaluation of microscopic cross sections for the Pebble Bed Reactor (PBR) neutron diffusion computational models during convergence to an equilibrium (asymptotic) fuel cycle. This method considers the isotopics within a core spectral zone and the leakages from such a zone as they arise during reactor operation. The randomness of the spatial distribution of fuel grains within the fuel pebbles and that of the fuel and moderator pebbles within the core, the double heterogeneity of the fuel, and the indeterminate burnup of the spectral zones all pose a unique challenge for the computation of the local microscopic cross sections. As prior knowledge of the equilibrium composition and leakage is not available, it is necessary to repeatedly re-compute the group constants with updated zone information. A method is presented to account for local spectral zone composition and leakage effects without resorting to frequent spectrum code calls. Fine group data are pre-computed for a range of isotopic states. Microscopic cross sections and zone nuclide number densities are used to construct fine group macroscopic cross sections, which, together with fission spectra, flux modulation factors, and zone buckling, are used in the solution of the slowing down balance to generate a new or updated spectrum. The microscopic cross-sections are then re-collapsed with the new spectrum for the local spectral zone. This technique is named the Spectral History Correction (SHC) method. it is found that this method accurately recalculates local broad group microscopic cross sections. Significant improvement in the core eigen-value, flux, and power peaking factor is observed when the local cross sections are corrected for the effects of the spectral zone composition and leakage in two-dimensional PBR test problems.

ID RADIATIVE-TRANSFER
AB Multidimensional semi-analytical particle transport benchmarks to provide highly accurate standards of assessment are few and far between. Because of a well-established 1D theory for the analytical solution of the transport equation, it is sometimes possible however, to "bootstrap" 1D solutions to give more comprehensive solution representations. Here, we propose the internal searchlight problem in a half space, designated ISLP/HS, as a multidimensional benchmark to be constructed from 1D solutions. This is a variation of the usual SLP/HS where a source emits within the half space rather than striking its surface. Our primary interest is in the exiting intensity at the free surface established through a new Fn formulation. The benchmark features true 2/3D particle transport through integration of a point kernel to simulate 2/3D source emission. In this way, we accommodate a solid or hollow cylindrical source and a general line source in addition to the standard point, ring and disk sources featured in previous investigations.

AB We discuss the zero temperature phase diagram of a dilute gas with three fermionic species. We make use of solvable limits to conjecture the behavior of the system in the "unitary" regions. The physics of the Thomas-Efimov effect plays a role in these considerations. We find a rich phase diagram with superfluid, gapless superfluid and inhomogeneous phases with different symmetry breaking patterns. We then discuss one particular possible experimental implementation in a system of Li-6 atoms and the possible phases arising in this system as an external magnetic field is varied across three overlapping Feshbach resonances. We also suggest how to experimentally distinguish the different phases. (c) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

AB The Cupriavidus metallidurans CH34 arsR gene, which is part of the arsRIC (2) BC (1) HP operon, and its putative arsenic-resistance regulatory protein were identified and characterized. The arsenic-induced transcriptome of C. metallidurans CH34 showed that the genes most upregulated in the presence of arsenate were all located within the ars operon, with none of the other numerous heavy metal resistance systems present in CH34 being induced. A transcriptional fusion between the luxCDABE operon and the arsR promoter/operator (P/O) region was used to confirm the in vivo induction of the ars operon by arsenite and arsenate. The arsR gene was cloned into expression vectors allowing for the overexpression of the ArsR protein as either his-tagged or untagged protein. The ability of the purified ArsR proteins to bind to the ars P/O region was analyzed in vitro by gel mobility shift assays. ArsR showed an affinity almost exclusively to its own ars P/O region. Dissociation of ArsR and its P/O region was metal dependent, and based on decreasing degrees of dissociation three groups of heavy metals could be distinguished: As(III), Bi(III), Co(II), Cu(II), Ni(II); Cd(II); Pb(II) and Zn(II), while no dissociation was observed in the presence of As(V).

AB Proteome and transcriptome analysis, combined with mutagenesis, were used to better understand the response of Cupriavidus metallidurans CH34 against lead(II). Structural Pb(II)-resistance genes of the pMOL30-encoded pbrUTRABCD operon formed the major line of defense against Pb(II). However, several general stress response mechanisms under the control of alternative sigma factors such as sigma 24/rpoK, sigma 32/rpoH and sigma 28/fliA were also induced. In addition, the expression of the pbrR (2) cadA pbrC (2) operon of the CMGI-1 region and the chromosomally encoded zntA were clearly induced in the presence of Pb(II), although their respective gene products were not detected via proteomics. After inactivation of the pbrA, pbrB or pbrD genes, the expression of the pbrR (2) cadA pbrC (2) operon went up considerably. This points towards synergistic interactions between pbrUTRABCD and pbrR (2) cadA pbrC (2) to maintain a low intracellular Pb(II) concentration, where pbrR (2) cadA pbrC (2) gene functions can complement and compensate for the mutations in the pbrA and pbrD genes. This role of zntA and cadA to complement for the loss of pbrA was further confirmed by mutation analysis. The pbrBa center dot Tn(Km2) mutation resulted in the most significant decrease of Pb(II) resistance, indicating that Pb(II) sequestration, avoiding re-entry of this toxic metal ion, forms a critical step in the pbr-encoded Pb(II) resistance mechanism.

AB The self-transmissible, broad-host-range (BHR) plasmid pMOL98 was previously isolated from polluted soil using a triparental plasmid capture approach and shown to possess a replicon similar to that of the BHR plasmids pSB102 and pIPO2. Here, complete sequence analysis and comparative genomics reveal that the 55.5 kb nucleotide sequence of pMOL98 shows extensive sequence similarity and synteny with the BHR plasmid family that now includes pIPO2, pSB102, pTER331, and pMRAD02. They share a plasmid backbone comprising replication, partitioning and conjugative transfer functions. Comparison of the variable accessory regions of these plasmids shows that the majority of natural transposons, as well as the mini-transposon used to mark the plasmids, are inserted in the parA locus. The transposon unique to pMOL98 appears to have inserted from the chromosome of the recipient strain used in the plasmid capture procedure. This demonstrates the necessity for careful screening of plasmids and host chromosomes to avoid mis-interpretation of plasmid genome content. The presence of very similar BHR plasmids with different accessory genes in geographically distinct locations suggests an important role in horizontal gene exchange and bacterial adaptation for this recently defined plasmid group, which we propose to name "PromA".

AB Cupriavidus metallidurans strain CH34 is a beta-Proteobacterium that thrives in low concentrations of heavy metals. The genetic determinants of resistance to heavy metals are located on its two chromosomes, and are particularly abundant in the two megaplasmids, pMOL28 and pMOL30. We explored the involvement of mobile genetic elements in acquiring these and others traits that might be advantageous in this strain using genome comparison of Cupriavidus/Ralstonia strains and related beta-Proteobacteria. At least eleven genomic islands were identified on the main replicon, three on pMOL28 and two on pMOL30. Multiple islands contained genes for heavy metal resistance or other genetic determinants putatively responding to harsh environmental conditions. However, cryptic elements also were noted. New mobile genetic elements (or variations of known ones) were identified through synteny analysis, allowing the detection of mobile genetic elements outside the bias of a selectable marker. Tn4371-like conjugative transposons involved in chemolithotrophy and degradation of aromatic compounds were identified in strain CH34, while similar elements involved in heavy metal resistance were found in Delftia acidovorans SPH-1 and Bordetella petrii DSM12804. We defined new transposons, viz., Tn6048 putatively involved in the response to heavy metals and Tn6050 carrying accessory genes not classically associated with transposons. Syntenic analysis also revealed new transposons carrying metal response genes in Burkholderia xenovorans LB400, and other bacteria. Finally, other putative mobile elements, which were previously unnoticed but apparently common in several bacteria, were also revealed. This was the case for triads of tyrosine-based site-specific recombinases and for an int gene paired with a putative repressor and associated with chromate resistance.

AB Cupriavidus metallidurans CH34 and related strains are adapted to metal contaminated environments. A strong resistance to environmental stressors and adaptation make it ideal strains for survival in decreasing biodiversity conditions and for bioaugmentation purposes in environmental applications. The soil bacterium C. metallidurans is able to grow chemolithoautotrophically on hydrogen and carbon dioxide allowing a strong resilience under conditions lacking organic matter. The biofilm growth on soil particles allows coping with starvation or bad conditions of pH, temperature and pollutants. Its genomic capacity of two megaplasmids encoding several heavy metal resistance operons allowed growth in heavy metal contaminated habitats. In addition its specific siderophores seem to play a role in heavy metal sequestration besides their role in the management of bioavailable iron. Efflux ATPases and RND systems pump the metal cations to the membrane surface where polysaccharides serve as heavy metal binding and nucleation sites for crystallisation of metal carbonates. These polysaccharides contribute also to flotation under specific conditions in a soil-heavy metals-bacteria suspension mixture. An inoculated moving bed sand filter was constructed to treat heavy metal contaminated water and to remove the metals in the form of biomass mixed with metal carbonates. A membrane based contactor allowed to use the bacteria as well in a versatile wastewater treatment system and to grow homogeneously formed heavy metal carbonates. Its behaviour toward heavy metal binding and flotation was combined in a biometal sludge reactor to extract and separate heavy metals from metal contaminated soils. Finally its metal-induced heavy metal resistance allowed constructing whole cell heavy metal biosensors which, after contact with contaminated soil, waste, solids, minerals and ashes, were induced in function of the bioavailable concentration (Cd, Zn, Cu, Cr, Co, Ni, Tl, Pb and Hg) in the solids and allowed to investigate the speciation of immobilization of those metals.

AB Accurate, real-time measurement of the dilute constituents of a gaseous mixture poses a significant challenge usually relegated to mass spectrometry. Here, spontaneous Raman backscattering is used to detect low pressure molecular gases. Rapid detection of gases in the similar to 100 parts in 10(6) (ppm) range is described. Improved sensitivity is brought about by use of a hollow-core, photonic bandgap fiber gas cell in the backscattering configuration to increase collection efficiency and an image-plane aperture to greatly reduce silica-Raman background noise. Spatial and spectral properties of the silica noise were examined with a two-dimensional CCD detector array. (C) 2009 Optical Society of America

AB Lateral and vertical ordered one-dimensional quantum structures, i.e. InGaAs/GaAs(001) quantum dot chains and quantum wires, have been obtained using molecular beam epitaxy. It was found that the InGaAs wires or dot chains sit on two-dimensional wetting layers and run along the [-110] direction, as the result of anisotropic strain and in-plane adatom diffusion. This anisotropic nature produces a model system for studying the electronic properties of one-, two-, and three-dimensional quantum confinements and related optical responses. The strain anisotropy is of importance in determining the electronic states of the quantum structures and the surrounding strained barrier. The strain-induced effects, such as change of band-gap and splitting of heavy-light hole states, were studied experimentally and theoretically. Optical anisotropy of these quantum structures is also discussed.

AB Improvement of the performance of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) was achieved by implementing Magnesium-Nickel nanoparticles at the cathode-organic interface using pulsed laser deposition technique. The small geometry of Mg-Ni nanoparticles acts to enhance the localized electric field around them, thus increasing electron injection through tunneling, from the cathode to the organic layer. Improved current and luminance characteristics were demonstrated for both small molecule and polymer-based OLEDs when the nanoparticle layer was incorporated.

AB We have deposited CdTe films by laser-assisted epitaxy approach and investigated the influence of substrate and film thickness on the film properties. Grown on Si(001), GaAs(001), and quartz substrates; the CdTe films exhibit preferential orientation along the cubic CdTe(111) direction. When the films are thin (< 500 nm), a blueshift of the band gap and splitting of valence bands were observed. These results are attributed to the existence of residual strains induced by mismatch of the film lattice constant with that of the substrate, and by their difference in thermal expansion coefficients. The bulk band-gap energy of 1.5 eV was achieved on the surface of thick CdTe films grown on Si(001) substrate, indicating that strain was almost completely relaxed in this case. Our results demonstrate that by a proper selection of substrate and film thickness it is possible to grow film semiconductors with band gap approaching those of bulk crystals.

AB This paper highlights the distinctions between (he infrared (IR) absorption spectra or vegetative versus sporulated Bacillus bacteria. It is observed that there are unique signatures clearly associated with either the sporulated or vegetative state and that vegetative cells (or cell debris) can contribute to the spore spectra. A distinct feature at similar to 1739 cm(-1) appears to be unique to vegetative cell spectra and can also be used as an indicator of vegetative cells or cell debris in the spore spectra. The data indicate that the band arises from a lipid-soluble species such as an ester or phospholipid carbonyl bond and are consistent with it being either phosphatidyl glycerol (PG) or phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), two major classes of phospholipids found in vegetative cells of Bacillus species. A companion work discusses bands associated with the sporulated state.

AB Our previous paper showed that certain infrared (IR) peaks, e.g., the peak at 1739 cm(-1), are due to varying (trace) amounts of vegetative cells amongst the Bacillus spores and that these and other vegetative bands are associated with lipid-soluble compounds, likely an ester or phospholipid. This work investigates the infrared spectra of eight different sporulated Bacillus bacteria. For the endospores it is observed that peaks at 1441, 1277, and 1015 cm(-1) along with a distinct quartet of peaks at 766, 725, 701, and 659 cm-1 are clearly associated with calcium dipicolinate trihydrate, CaDP center dot 3H(2)O. It is emphasized that the spore peaks, especially the quartet, arise from the calcium dipicolinate trihydrate and not from dipicolinic acid or other dipicolinate hydrate salts. The CaDP center dot 3H(2)O infrared peaks and the effects of hydration are studied using quantum chemistry in the PQS software package. The quartet is associated with many modes including contributions from the Ca2+ counterion and hydration waters including Ca-O-H bends, H2O-Ca-O torsions, and O-C-O bends. The 1441 and 1015 cm(-1) modes are planar pyridine modes with the 1441 cm(-1) mode primarily a ring C-N stretch and the 1015 cm(-1) mode primarily a ring C-C stretch.

AB d-Serine, an endogenous amino acid, is involved in many physiological processes through its interaction with the glycine binding site of the N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor. It has important roles in development, learning, and cell death signaling. Recent evidence suggests that decreased function of the NMDA receptor is related to the etiology of schizophrenia, and the use of d-serine as add-on therapy is beneficial in alleviating the symptoms of treatment-refractory schizophrenia. The NMDA receptor also plays a major role in neuronal cell death and neurodegeneration mediated by excitatory amino acid toxicity in ischemia, epilepsy, and trauma. Due to its co-activator function, d-serine can markedly potentiate NMDA-mediated excitotoxicity. To investigate potential adverse effects of d-serine treatment, we investigated gene expression changes in the forebrain of male F-344 rats treated with a single intraperitoneal injection of d-serine (5, 20, 50, 200, or 500 mg/kg) at 96 h post-treatment. Gene expression profiling using Affymetrix Rat Genome 230 2.0 arrays revealed that d-serine treatment resulted in up- and down-regulation of 134 and 52 genes, respectively, based on the common genes identified using three statistical methods, i.e. t test (p < 0.01 over two consecutive doses), ANOVA (with adjusted Bonferonni correction for multiple testing) and significance analysis of microarray (SAM). Self organized map (SOM) clustering analysis of the differentially expressed genes showed two clusters, one with all 134 up-regulated probe sets and the other with all 52 down-regulated probe sets. The dose-response pattern of the down-regulated cluster showed nearly a perfect mirror image of that of the up-regulated one. Gene ontology analysis revealed that pathways implicated in neuronal functions and/or neurodegenerative disorders are over-represented among the differentially expressed genes. Specifically, genes involved in vesicle-mediated transport, endocytosis, ubiquitin conjugation pathway, regulation of actin filament polymerization/depolymerization, focal adhesion, Wnt signaling, and insulin signaling were up-regulated, while genes involved in RNA metabolism/splicing/processing and Notch signaling were down-regulated. Consistent with this finding, pathway analysis using GenMAPP showed a significant number of differentially expressed genes in these pathways. In addition, the GenMAPP result also showed activation of the signaling pathways of several proinflammatory cytokines (including IL-2, IL-3, IL-5, IL-6 and TNF-alpha), which might suggest the onset of neuroinflammation. Biological association network analysis showed that several nuclear factors implicated in transcription regulation (including Taf1, Max, Myc, and Hnf4a) are highly connected to a large number of up-regulated genes. While the transcript levels of these transcription factors were not changed, their connections to Ddx3x, a gene involved in mRNA processing and translation initiation, raise the possibility that they may be up-regulated at the post-transcriptional level. The observation that Ubqln1 and Ube2d, two differentially expressed genes involved in ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis and implicated in neurodegenerative disorders, are highly connected in this network suggests a role of ubiquitination proteasome pathway in response to d-serine exposure.
This finding is consistent with the result of gene ontology analysis and suggests that d-serine treatment might result in damage to cellular proteins and subsequent up-regulation of ubiquitination proteasome pathway to clar these damaged proteins. In summary, d-serine exposure resulted in perturbation of a number of pathways implicated in neuronal functions and neurodegenerative disorders. However, activation of cellular response to counter the toxic effects of d-serine might be hindered due to the down-regulation of such important cellular machinery like RNA metabolism, splicing and processing. Consequently, cell damage might be further exacerbated. Taken together, these findings highlight the potential impacts of d-serine exposure on neuronal functions.

AB Context. For more than two decades we have known that galaxy morphological segregation is present in the Local Universe. It is important to see how this relation evolves with cosmic time.
Aims. To investigate how galaxy assembly took place with cosmic time, we explore the evolution of the morphology-density relation up to redshift z similar to 1 using about 10 000 galaxies drawn from the zCOSMOS Galaxy Redshift Survey. Taking advantage of accurate HST/ACS morphologies from the COSMOS survey, of the well-characterised zCOSMOS 3D environment, and of a large sample of galaxies with spectroscopic redshift, we want to study here the evolution of the morphology-density relation up to z similar to 1 and its dependence on galaxy luminosity and stellar mass. The multi-wavelength coverage of the field also allows a first study of the galaxy morphological segregation dependence on colour. We further attempt to disentangle between processes that occurred early in the history of the Universe or late in the life of galaxies.
Methods. The zCOSMOS field benefits of high-resolution imaging in the F814W filter from the Advanced Camera for Survey (ACS). We use standard morphology classifiers, optimised for being robust against band-shifting and surface brightness dimming, and a new, objective, and automated method to convert morphological parameters into early, spiral, and irregular types. We use about 10 000 galaxies down to I(AB) = 22.5 with a spectroscopic sampling rate of 33% to characterise the environment of galaxies up to z similar to 1 from the 100 kpc scales of galaxy groups up to the 100 Mpc scales of the cosmic web. The evolution of the morphology-density relation in different environments is then studied for luminosity and stellar-mass selected, volume-limited samples of galaxies. The trends are described and related to the various physical processes that could play a relevant role in the build-up of the morphology-density relation.
Results. We confirm that the morphological segregation is present up to z similar to 1 for luminosity-selected, volume-limited samples. The behaviour of the morphology-density relation gets flatter at fixed masses expecially above 10(10.6) M(circle dot). We suggest the existence of a critical mass above which the physical processes governing galaxy stellar mass also determine the shaping of the galaxy more than its environment. We finally show that at a fixed morphology there is still a residual variation in galaxy colours with density.
Conclusions. The observed evolution with redshift of the morphology-density relation offers an opportunity to trace the effect of nature and nurture as a function of environment. Even though it is based mainly on a biased view, the environmental dependence of the morphological evolution for luminosity-selected, volume-limited samples seems to indicate that nurture is in play. On the other hand, the lack of evolution observed for early-type and spiral galaxies that are more massive than 10(10.8) M(circle dot) independents of the environment indicates that nature has imprinted these properties early in the life of these galaxies. We conclude that the relative contribution of nature and nurture in different environments strongly depends on the mass of galaxies, consistent with a downsizing scenario.

AB Context. The cosmic time around the z similar to 1 redshift range appears crucial in the cluster and galaxy evolution, since it is probably the epoch of the first mature galaxy clusters. Our knowledge of the properties of the galaxy populations in these clusters is limited because only a handful of z similar to 1 clusters are presently known.
Aims. In this framework, we report the discovery of a z similar to 0.87 cluster and study its properties at various wavelengths. Methods. We gathered X-ray and optical data (imaging and spectroscopy), and near and far infrared data (imaging) in order to confirm the cluster nature of our candidate, to determine its dynamical state, and to give insight on its galaxy population evolution.
Results. Our candidate structure appears to be a massive z similar to 0.87 dynamically young cluster with an atypically high X-ray temperature as compared to its X-ray luminosity. It exhibits a significant percentage (similar to 90%) of galaxies that are also detected in the 24 mu m band.
Conclusions. The cluster RXJ1257.2+4738 appears to be still in the process of collapsing. Its relatively high temperature is probably the consequence of significant energy input into the intracluster medium besides the regular gravitational infall contribution. A significant part of its galaxies are red objects that are probably dusty with on-going star formation.

AB The High Resolution Fly's Eye (HiRes) experiment has measured the flux of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays using the stereoscopic air fluorescence technique. The HiRes experiment consists of two detectors that observe cosmic ray showers via the fluorescence light they emit. HiRes data can be analyzed in monocular mode, where each detector is treated separately, or in stereoscopic mode where they are considered together. Using the monocular mode the HiRes collaboration measured the cosmic ray spectrum and made the first observation of the Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin cutoff. In this paper we present the cosmic ray spectrum measured by the stereoscopic technique. Good agreement is found with the monocular spectrum in all details. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.

ID ATMOSPHERIC NEUTRINO FLUX; SEA-LEVEL; STOPPING POWER; SPECTRUM; RANGE;
TEV
AB The MINOS experiment has observed a rise in the underground muon charge ratio r(mu) = mu(+)/mu(-). This ratio can be related to the atmospheric production ratios of pi(+)/pi(-) and K(+)/K(-). Our analysis indicates that the relevant variable for studying the charge ratio is E(mu)(surface) cos theta, rather than E(mu)(surface). We compare a simple energy dependent parameterization of the rise in the charge ratio with more detailed previously published Monte Carlo simulations and an analytical calculation. We also estimate the size of two previously neglected effects in this context: the charge sign dependency of the dE/dx in rock, and the energy dependence of heavy primaries on the derived K(+)/K(-) ratio.

AB We present results from a long-term monitoring campaign on the TeV binary LSI +61 degrees 303 with VERITAS at energies above 500 GeV, and in the 2-10 keV hard X-ray bands with RXTE and Swift, sampling nine 26.5 day orbital cycles between 2006 September and 2008 February. The binary was observed by VERITAS to be variable, with all integrated observations resulting in a detection at the 8.8 sigma (2006/2007) and 7.3 sigma (2007/2008) significance level for emission above 500 GeV. The source was detected during active periods with flux values ranging from 5% to 20% of the Crab Nebula, varying over the course of a single orbital cycle. Additionally, the observations conducted in the 2007-2008 observing season show marginal evidence (at the 3.6 sigma significance level) for TeV emission outside the apastron passage of the compact object around the Be star. Contemporaneous hard X-ray observations with RXTE and Swift show large variability with flux values typically varying between 0.5 and 3.0 x 10(-11) erg cm(-2) s(-1) over a single orbital cycle. The contemporaneous X-ray and TeV data are examined and it is shown that the TeV sampling is not dense enough to detect a correlation between the two bands.

AB We report the detection of pulsed gamma-rays from the young, spin-powered radio pulsar PSR J2021+3651 using data acquired with the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (formerly GLAST). The light curve consists of two narrow peaks of similar amplitude separated by 0.468 +/- 0.002 in phase. The first peak lags the maximum of the 2 GHz radio pulse by 0.162 +/- 0.004 +/- 0.01 in phase. The integral gamma-ray photon flux above 100 MeV is (56 +/- 3 +/- 11) x 10(-8) cm(-2) s(-1). The photon spectrum is well described by an exponentially cut-off power law of the form dF/dE = kE(-Gamma)e((-E/Ec)), where the energy E is expressed in GeV. The photon index is Gamma = 1.5 +/- 0.1 +/- 0.1 and the exponential cut-off is E-c = 2.4 +/- 0.3 +/- 0.5 GeV. The first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. The integral photon flux of the bridge is approximately 10% of the pulsed emission, and the upper limit on off-pulse gamma-ray emission from a putative pulsar wind nebula is < 10% of the pulsed emission at the 95% confidence level. Radio polarization measurements yield a rotation measure of RM = 524 +/- 4 rad m(-2) but a poorly constrained magnetic geometry. Re-analysis of Chandra X-ray Observatory data enhanced the significance of the weak X-ray pulsations, and the first peak is roughly phase aligned with the first gamma-ray peak. We discuss the emission region and beaming geometry based on the shape and spectrum of the gamma-ray light curve combined with radio and X-ray measurements, and the implications for the pulsar distance. Gamma-ray emission from the polar cap region seems unlikely for this pulsar.

AB We show that the Sagittarius dwarf tidal stream can be traced with very red K/M-giant stars, selected from Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) photometry. A subset of these stars are spectroscopically confirmed with SEGUE and SDSS spectra, and the distance scale of 2MASS and SDSS M giants is calibrated to the RR Lyrae distance scale. The absolute magnitude of the K/M-giant stars at the tip of the giant branch is M(g0) = -1.0. The line-of-sight velocities of the M giant and blue horizontal-branch (BHB) stars that are spatially coincident with the Sgr dwarf tidal stream are consistent with those of previous authors, reinforcing the need for new models that can explain all of the Sgr tidal debris stream observations. We estimate stellar densities along the tidal tails that can be used to help constrain future models. The K/M giant, BHB, and F-turnoff stars in the lower surface brightness tidal stream that is adjacent to the main leading Sgr dwarf tidal tail have velocities and metallicities that are similar to those of the stars in the leading tidal tail. The ratio of K/M giants to BHBs and BHBs to F-turnoff stars are also similar for both branches of the leading tidal tail. We show that there is an additional low-metallicity tidal stream near the Sgr trailing tidal tail.

AB We present data from the Supernova Cosmology Project for five high redshift Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) that were obtained using the NICMOS infrared camera on the Hubble Space Telescope. We add two SNe from this sample to a rest-frame I-band Hubble diagram, doubling the number of high redshift supernovae on this diagram. This I-band Hubble diagram is consistent with a flat universe (Omega(M), Omega(A)) = (0.29, 0.71). A homogeneous distribution of large grain dust in the intergalactic medium (replenishing dust) is incompatible with the data and is excluded at the 5 sigma confidence level, if the SN host galaxy reddening is corrected assuming R(V) = 1.75. We use both optical and infrared observations to compare photometric properties of distant SNe Ia with those of nearby objects. We find generally good agreement with the expected color evolution for all SNe except the highest redshift SN in our sample (SN 1997ek at z = 0.863) which shows a peculiar color behavior. We also present spectra obtained from ground-based telescopes for type identification and determination of redshift.

AB We present the result of a search of the Milagro sky map for spatial correlations with sources from a subset of the recent Fermi Bright Source List (BSL). The BSL consists of the 205 most significant sources detected above 100 MeV by the Fermi Large Area Telescope. We select sources based on their categorization in the BSL, taking all confirmed or possible Galactic sources in the field of view of Milagro. Of the 34 Fermi sources selected, 14 are observed by Milagro at a significance of 3 standard deviations or more. We conduct this search with a new analysis which employs newly optimized gamma-hadron separation and utilizes the full eight-year Milagro data set. Milagro is sensitive to gamma rays with energy from 1 to 100 TeV with a peak sensitivity from 10 to 50 TeV depending on the source spectrum and declination. These results extend the observation of these sources far above the Fermi energy band. With the new analysis and additional data, multi-TeV emission is definitively observed associated with the Fermi pulsar, J2229.0+6114, in the Boomerang pulsar wind nebula (PWN). Furthermore, an extended region of multi-TeV emission is associated with the Fermi pulsar, J0634.0+1745, the Geminga pulsar.

AB We show that there is a low-metallicity tidal stream that runs along l = 143 degrees in the South Galactic Cap, about 34 kpc from the Sun, discovered from the Sloan Extension for Galactic Understanding and Exploration stellar velocities. Since the most concentrated detections are in the Cetus constellation, and the orbital path is nearly polar, we name it the Cetus Polar Stream (CPS). Although it is spatially coincident with the Sgr dwarf trailing tidal tail at b = -70 degrees, the metallicities ([Fe/H] = -2.1), ratio of blue straggler to blue horizontal branch stars, and velocities of the CPS stars differ from Sgr. Some CPS stars may contaminate previous samples of Sgr dwarf tidal debris. The unusual globular cluster NGC 5824 is located along an orbit fitted to the CPS, with the correct radial velocity.

AB This paper discusses high-energy-density laboratory astrophysics experiments exploring the Rayleigh-Taylor instability under conditions similar to the blast wave driven, outermost layer in a core-collapse supernova. The planar blast wave is created in an experimental target using the Omega laser. The blast wave crosses an unstable interface with a seed perturbation machined onto it. The perturbation consists of a 3D "egg crate" pattern and, in some cases, an additional longer wavelength mode is added to this 3D, single-mode pattern. The main diagnostic of this experiment is x-ray radiography. This paper explores an image processing technique to improve the identification and characterization of structure in the radiographic data.

AB The National Ignition Facility (NIF) will soon provide experiments with far more than ten times the energy than has been previously available on laser facilities. In the context of supernova-relevant hydrodynamics, this will enable experiments in which hydrodynamic instabilities develop from multiple, coupled interfaces in a diverging explosion. This paper discusses the design of such blast-wave-driven explosions in which the relative masses of the layers are scaled to those within the star. It reports scaling simulations with CALE to model the global dynamics of such an experiment. CALE is a hybrid, Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian code. The simulations probed the instability growth and multi-interface interactions in mass-scaled systems using different materials. The simulations assist in the target design process and in developing an experiment that can be diagnosed.

AB Radiative shocks (RS) occur in astrophysical systems and in high-energy density laboratory experiments. Aided by three dimensionless parameters, we propose a classification of RS into four types, integrating previous work that has focused independently on optical depth and on Mach number. Specific terms, such as a cooling function, a radiative flux, or radiative energy and pressure must be added to the Euler equations in order to model these various kinds of shocks. We examine how these terms correspond to the radiative classification regimes. In astrophysics, observed RS arise generally in optically thin material. Thus, radiation escapes without interaction with the surrounding gas, except perhaps to ionize it, and the energy loss in such shocks can be modeled by a cooling function I >. In this case only the post-shock region is structured by the radiation cooling. We found the analytical solution for hydrodynamic equations including I > ae rho (epsilon) P (zeta) x (theta) for arbitrary values of epsilon, zeta, theta. This is a completely new result. An application of this calculation for the accretion shock in cataclysmic variables of polar type is given in astrophysical terms. We also draw a parallel between RS experiments performed using the LULI2000 laser facility, in France and the Omega laser Facility, in USA. RS developed in these laboratories are more or less optically thick. These high-Mach number RS present a radiative precursor.

AB A wide variety of objects in the universe drive supersonic outflows through the interstellar medium which is often highly clumpy. These inhomogeneities affect the morphology of the shocks that are generated. The hydrodynamics are difficult to model as the problem is inherently 3D and the clumps are subject to a variety of fluid instabilities as they are accelerated and destroyed by the shock. Over the last two years, we have been carrying out experiments at the University of Rochester's Omega laser to address the interaction of a dense-plasma jet with a localised density perturbation. More recently, we have turned our attention to the interaction of a shock wave with a spherical particle. We use a 1.6-mm diameter, 1.2-mm length Omega hohlraum to drive a composite plastic ablator (which includes bromine to prevent M-band radiation from preheating the experiment). The ablator acts as a "piston" driving a shock into 0.3 g cm(-3) foam containing a 0.5-mm diameter sapphire sphere. We radiograph along two orthogonal lines of sight, using nickel or zinc pinhole-apertured X-ray backlighters, to study the subsequent hydrodynamics. We present initial experimental results and two-dimensional simulations of the experiment.

AB Photoionised plasmas are common in astrophysical environments and new high resolution spectra from such sources have been recorded in recent years by the Chandra and XMM-Newton satellites. These provide a wealth of spectroscopic information and have motivated recent efforts aimed at obtaining a detailed understanding of the atomic-kinetic and radiative characteristics of photoionised plasmas. The Z-pinch facility at the Sandia National Laboratories is the most powerful terrestrial source of X-rays and provides an opportunity to produce photoionised plasmas in a well characterised radiation environment. We present modelling work and experimental design considerations for a forthcoming experiment at Sandia in which X-rays from a collapsing Z-pinch will be used to photoionise low density neon contained in a gas cell. View factor calculations were used to evaluate the radiation environment at the gas cell; the hydrodynamic characteristics of the gas cell were examined using the Helios-CR code, in particular looking at the heating, temperature and ionisation of the neon and the absorption of radiation. Emission and absorption spectra were also computed, giving estimates of spectra likely to be observed experimentally.

The variation of composition gives rise to the appearance of modes whose growth rate is directly related to the finite thermal conductivity. It is suggested that this effect could be used for in situ measurements of thermal conductivity of warm dense matter. Expressions for the RT growth rate for the general equation of state are derived and the modes most suitable for measurements are identified. A desired perturbation can be introduced by machining the package or by using masks during the surface deposition process. To visualize the evolution of the embedded perturbation, higher-Z tracers can be used. A concept for a laser-driven experiment where this approach could be realized is presented.

AB At the Nevada Terawatt Facility we investigated the generation of a sheared plasma flow using conical wire arrays with an additional wire located on the axis of the pinch. The additional center wire generates axial current carrying plasma that serves as a target for the plasma accelerated from the outer wires, generating a sheared plasma flow which leads to the growth of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability. These experiments were conducted on Zebra, a 2 TW pulse power device capable of delivering a 1 MA current in 100 ns. This paper will focus on the implosion dynamics that lead to shear flow and the development of the Kelvin Helmholtz instability.

AB Interaction of plasma flows with magnetic fields can lead to excitation of flute-like oscillations. These oscillations can also be excited in Z-pinch plasmas. We have developed understanding of nonlinear dynamics of compressible flute mode turbulence with spatial scales comparable to the ion Larmor radius in a high beta plasma, when these modes become electromagnetic and in the presence of a non-uniform magnetic field. It is shown that the flute waves are responsible for generation of large scale structures of streamer and zonal flow types as well as Kolmogorov type spectra in the short scale region. The relevance of the obtained results to laboratory astrophysics and Z-pinch experiments is discussed.

AB The present study explored the avenues for the improvement of native Nitinol surfaces for implantation obtained using traditional procedures such as mechanical polishing, chemical etching, electropolishing and heat treatments for a better understanding of their electrochemical behavior and associated surface stability, conductivity, reactivity and biological responses. The corrosion resistance (cyclic potential polarization, open circuit potential and polarization resistance) of Nitinol disc and wire samples were evaluated for various surface states in strain-free and strained wire conditions. The surface response to tension strain was studied in situ. Surface chemistry and structure were explored using XPS and Auger spectroscopy and photoelectrochemical methods, respectively. It was found that the polarization resistance of the Nitinol surfaces varied in a range from 100 k Omega to 10 M Omega cm(2) and the open circuit potentials from -440 mV to -55 mV. The surfaces prepared in chemical solutions showed consistent corrosion resistance in strain-free and strained states, but mechanically polished and heat treated samples were prone to pitting. Nitinol surface oxides are semiconductors with the band gaps of either 3.0 eV (rutile) or 3.4 eV (amorphous). The conductivity of semiconducting Nitinol surfaces relevant to their biological performances is discussed in terms of oxide stoichiometry and variable Ni content. Such biological characteristics of Nitinol surfaces as Ni release, fibrinogen adsorption and platelets behavior are re-examined based on the analysis of the results of the present study.

AB PR04.MZ was designed as a highly selective dopamine transporter inhibitor, derived from natural cocaine. Its binding pro. le indicates that [C-11]PR04.MZ may be suited as a PET radiolig and for the non-invasive exploration of striatal and extrastriatal DAT populations. As a key feature, its structural design facilitates both, labelling with fluorine-18 at its terminally fluorinated butynyl moiety and carbon-11 at its methyl ester function. The present report concerns the efficient [C-11]MeI mediated synthesis of [C-11]PR04. MZ from an O-desmethyl precursor trifluoroacetic acid salt with Rb2CO3 in DMF in up to 95 +/- 5% labelling yield. A preliminary mu PET-experiment demonstrates the reversible, highly specific binding of [C-11]PR04. MZ in the brain of a male Sprague-Dawley rat. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB Based on the need for advanced treatments of high-resolution urban morphological features (e. g., buildings and trees) in meteorological, dispersion, air quality, and human-exposure modeling systems for future urban applications, a new project was launched called the National Urban Database and Access Portal Tool (NUDAPT). NUDAPT is sponsored by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (U. S. EPA) and involves collaborations and contributions from many groups, including federal and state agencies, and from private and academic institutions here and in other countries. It is designed to produce and provide gridded fields of urban canopy parameters for various new and advanced descriptions of model physics to improve urban simulations, given the availability of new high-resolution data of buildings, vegetation, and land use. Additional information, including gridded anthropogenic heating (AH) and population data, is incorporated to further improve urban simulations and to encourage and facilitate decision support and application linkages to human exposure models. An important core-design feature is the utilization of Web portal technology to enable NUDAPT to be a "community" based system. This Web-based portal technology will facilitate the customizing of data handling and retrievals (www.nudapt.org). This article provides an overview of NUDAPT and several example applications.

AB The characteristics of carbonaceous materials deposited in fuel rich ethylene-oxygen mixtures on three types of palladium: foil, sputtered film, and nanopowder, are reported. It was found that the form of palladium has a dramatic influence on the morphology of the deposited carbon. In particular, on sputtered film and powder, tight 'weaves' of sub-micron filaments formed quickly In contrast, on foils under identical conditions, the dominant morphology is carbon thin films with basal planes oriented parallel to the substrate surface. Temperature, gas flow rate, reactant flow ratio (C(2)H(4):O(2)), and residence time (position) were found to influence both growth rate and type for all three forms of Pd. X-ray diffraction, high resolution transmission electron microscopy, temperature-programmed oxidation, and Raman spectroscopy were used to assess the crystallinity of the as-deposited carbon, and it was determined that transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction were the most reliable methods for determining crystallinity. The dependence of growth on reactor position, and the fact that no growth was observed in the absence of oxygen support the postulate that the carbon deposition proceeds by combustion generated radical species.

AB An inexpensive fixed-bed, plug-flow operando reactor is described in which X-ray absorbance and kinetic data can be measured simultaneously. Pt L(3) (11.56 keV) XANES and EXAFS data were obtained on a 1.5% Pt/silica catalyst in borosilicate glass reactors of different diameters, 3-6 mm, and thicknesses, 0.3-1.2 mm, some of which are capable of operation at pressures up to about 40 atm. Additionally, polyimide tubular reactors with low absorbance can be used for lower energy edges of the 3d transition metals, or fluorescence detection for low concentration or highly absorbing supports. With the polyimide reactor, however, the pressure is limited to similar to 3.5 atm and the reaction temperature to about 300 A degrees C. To validate the reactor, the rate and activation energies for the water-gas shift reaction on 2% Pd, 13.7% Zn on Al(2)O(3) catalyst were within 15% of those obtained in a standard laboratory reactor, which is within laboratory reproducibility. In addition, the Pd K edge (24.35 keV) XANES and EXAFS data on pre-reduced catalyst were identical to that previously determined on a regular cell. The EXAFS data show that the degree of Pd-Zn alloy formation changes with reaction temperature demonstrating the importance of characterizing the catalyst under reaction conditions.

AB Crystalline mesoporous metal oxides have attracted considerable attention recently, but their catalytic applications have rarely been studied. In this work, a series of crystalline three-dimensional mesoporous metal oxides (i.e., CeO(2), Co(3)O(4), Cr(2)O(3), CuO, Fe(2)O(3), beta-MnO(2), Mn(2)O(3), Mn(3)O(4), NiO, and NiCoMnO(4)) were prepared using the mesoporous silica KIT-6 as a hard template. These ordered mesoporous metal oxides with highly crystalline walls were characterized by PXRD, TEM, N(2) adsorption and evaluated as CO oxidation catalysts. These mesoporous materials, except for mesoporous Fe(2)O(3), exhibit much higher catalytic activities than their bulk counterparts. In particular, mesoporous Co(3)O(4), beta-MnO(2), and NiO show appreciable CO oxidation activity below 0 A degrees C, and the catalytic activities of mesoporous beta-MnO(2), and NiO are even higher than those of their nanoparticulate counterparts with large surface areas. beta-MnO(2) is particularly interesting because it combines low cost and low toxicity with high activity (T (50) = 39 A degrees C).

TI Technoeconomic analysis of the dilute sulfuric acid and enzymatic
hydrolysis process for the conversion of corn stover to ethanol
SO CELLULOSE

DT Article
DE Bioenergy; Economic analysis; Bioethanol; Corn stover
AB Technoeconomic analysis has been used to guide the research and development of lignocellulosic biofuels production processes for over two decades. Such analysis has served to identify the key technical barriers for these conversion processes so that research can be targeted most effectively on the pertinent challenges. The tools and methodology used to develop conceptual conversion processes and analyze their economics are presented here. In addition, the current process design and economic results are described for dilute acid pretreatment followed by enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation. Modeled ethanol costs of $1.33/gallon (in consistent year 2007 dollars) are being targeted for this commercial scale corn stover conversion process in 2012. State of technology models, which take actual research results and project them to commercial scale, estimate an ethanol cost of $2.43/gallon at present. In order to further reduce costs, process improvements must be made in several areas, including pretreatment, enzymatic hydrolysis, and fermentation. As the biomass industry develops, new fuels and new feedstocks are being researched. Technoeconomic analysis will play a key role in process development and targeting of technical and economic barriers for these new fuels and feedstocks.

AB With the world's focus on rapidly deploying second generation biofuels technologies, there exists today a good deal of interest in how yields, economics, and environmental impacts of the various conversion processes of lignocellulosic biomass to transportation fuels compare. Although there is a good deal of information regarding these conversion processes, this information is typically very difficult to use on a comparison basis because different underlying assumptions, such as feedstock costs, plant size, co-product credits or assumed state of technology, have been utilized. In this study, a rigorous comparison of different biomass to transportation fuels conversion processes was performed with standard underlying economic and environmental assumptions so that exact comparisons can be made. This study looked at promising second-generation conversion processes utilizing biochemical and thermochemical gasification technologies on both a current and an achievable state of technology in 2012. The fundamental finding of this study is that although the biochemical and thermochemical processes to ethanol analyzed have their individual strengths and weaknesses, the two processes have very comparable yields, economics, and environmental impacts. Hence, this study concludes that based on this analysis there is not a distinct economic or environmental impact difference between biochemical and thermochemical gasification processes for second generation ethanol production.

ID COMPOSITIONAL ANALYSIS
AB We have studied rapid calibration models to predict the composition of a variety of biomass feedstocks by correlating near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopic data to compositional data produced using traditional wet chemical analysis techniques. The rapid calibration models are developed using multivariate statistical analysis of the spectroscopic and wet chemical data. This work discusses the latest versions of the NIR calibration models for corn stover feedstock and dilute-acid pretreated corn stover. Measures of the calibration precision and uncertainty are presented. No statistically significant differences (p = 0.05) are seen between NIR calibration models built using different mathematical pretreatments. Finally, two common algorithms for building NIR calibration models are compared; no statistically significant differences (p = 0.05) are seen for the major constituents glucan, xylan, and lignin, but the algorithms did produce different predictions for total extractives. A single calibration model combining the corn stover feedstock and dilute-acid pretreated corn stover samples gave less satisfactory predictions than the separate models.

ID MAIZE; LIGNIN; NUTRITION; QUALITY
AB There exist large amounts of detergent fiber analysis data [neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), acid detergent lignin (ADL)] for many different potential cellulosic ethanol feedstocks, since these techniques are widely used for the analysis of forages. Researchers working in the area of cellulosic ethanol are interested in the structural carbohydrates in a feedstock (principally glucan and xylan), which are typically determined by acid hydrolysis of the structural fraction after multiple extractions of the biomass. These so-called dietary fiber analysis methods are significantly more involved than detergent fiber analysis methods. The purpose of this study was to determine whether it is feasible to correlate detergent fiber analysis values to glucan and xylan content determined by dietary fiber analysis methods for corn stover. In the detergent fiber analysis literature cellulose is often estimated as the difference between ADF and ADL, while hemicellulose is often estimated as the difference between NDF and ADF. Examination of a corn stover dataset containing both detergent fiber analysis data and dietary fiber analysis data predicted using near infrared spectroscopy shows that correlations between structural glucan measured using dietary fiber techniques and cellulose estimated using detergent techniques, and between structural xylan measured using dietary fiber techniques and hemicellulose estimated using detergent techniques are high, but are driven largely by the underlying correlation between total extractives measured by fiber analysis and NDF/ADF. That is, detergent analysis data is correlated to dietary fiber analysis data for structural carbohydrates, but only indirectly; the main correlation is between detergent analysis data and solvent extraction data produced during the dietary fiber analysis procedure.

AB Exoglucanases are key enzymes required for the efficient hydrolysis of crystalline cellulose. It has been proposed that exoglucanases hydrolyze cellulose chains in a processive manner to produce primarily cellobiose. Usually, two functional modules are involved in the processive mechanism: a catalytic module and a carbohydrate-binding module (CBM). In this report, single molecule tracking techniques were used to analyze the molecular motion of CBMs labeled with quantum dots (QDs) and bound to cellulose crystals. By tracking the single QD, we observed that the family 2 CBM from Acidothermus cellulolyticus (AcCBM2) exhibited linear motion along the long axis of the cellulose fiber. This apparent movement was observed consistently when different concentrations (25 mu M to 25 nM) of AcCBM2 were used. Although the mechanism of AcCBM2 motion remains unknown, single-molecule spectroscopy has been demonstrated to be a promising tool for acquiring new fundamental understanding of cellulase action.

ID REMOVAL; STORAGE; HARVEST
AB As biorefining conversion technologies become commercial, feedstock availability, supply system logistics, and biomass material attributes are emerging as major barriers to the availability of corn stover for biorefining. While systems do exist to supply corn stover as feedstock to biorefining facilities, stover material attributes affecting physical deconstruction, such as densification and post-harvest material stability, challenge the cost-effectiveness of present-day feedstock logistics systems. In addition, the material characteristics of corn stover create barriers with any supply system design in terms of equipment capacity/efficiency, dry matter loss, and capital use efficiency. However, analysis of a conventional large square bale corn stover feedstock supply system concludes that (1) where other agronomic factors are not limiting, corn stover can be accessed and supplied to a biorefinery using existing bale-based technologies, (2) technologies and new supply system designs are necessary to overcome biomass bulk density and moisture material property challenges, and (3) major opportunities to improve conventional bale biomass feedstock supply systems include improvements in equipment efficiency and capacity and reducing biomass losses in harvesting, collection, and storage. Finally, the backbone of an effective stover supply system design is the optimization of intended and minimization of unintended material property changes as the corn stover passes through the individual supply system processes from the field to the biorefinery conversion processes.

AB Corn stover, the above-ground, non-grain portion of the crop, is a large, currently available source of biomass that potentially could be collected as a biofuels feedstock. Biomass conversion process economics are directly affected by the overall biochemical conversion yield, which is assumed to be proportional to the carbohydrate content of the feedstock materials used in the process. Variability in the feedstock carbohydrate levels affects the maximum theoretical biofuels yield and may influence the optimum pretreatment or saccharification conditions. The aim of this study is to assess the extent to which commercial hybrid corn stover composition varies and begin to partition the variation among genetic, environmental, or annual influences. A rapid compositional analysis method using near-infrared spectroscopy/partial least squares multivariate modeling (NIR/PLS) was used to evaluate compositional variation among 508 commercial hybrid corn stover samples collected from 47 sites in eight Corn Belt states after the 2001, 2002, and 2003 harvests. The major components of the corn stover, reported as average (standard deviation) % dry weight, whole biomass basis, were glucan 31.9 (2.0), xylan 18.9 (1.3), solubles composite 17.9 (4.1), and lignin (corrected for protein) 13.3 (1.1). We observed wide variability in the major corn stover components. Much of the variation observed in the structural components (on a whole biomass basis) is due to the large variation found in the soluble components. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that the harvest year had the strongest effect on corn stover compositional variation, followed by location and then variety. The NIR/PLS rapid analysis method used here is well suited to testing large numbers of samples, as tested in this study, and will support feedstock improvement and biofuels process research.

However, it has been found that the crystallinity index varies significantly depending on the choice of instrument and data analysis technique applied to the measurement. We introduce in this study a simple and straightforward method to evaluate the crystallinity index of cellulose. This novel method was developed using solid state C-13 NMR and subtraction of the spectrum of a standard amorphous cellulose. The crystallinity indexes of twelve different celluloses were measured and the values from this method were compared with the values obtained by other existing methods, including methods based on X-ray diffraction. An interesting observation was that the hydration of the celluloses increased their crystallinity indexes by about 5%, suggesting that addition of water increased cellulose order for all the cellulose samples studied.

AB The Biomass Refining Consortium for Applied Fundamentals and Innovation, with members from Auburn University, Dartmouth College, Michigan State University, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Purdue University, Texas A&M University, the University of British Columbia, and the University of California at Riverside, has developed comparative data on the conversion of corn stover to sugars by several leading pretreatment technologies. These technologies include ammonia fiber expansion pretreatment, ammonia recycle percolation pretreatment, dilute sulfuric acid pretreatment, flowthrough pretreatment (hot water or dilute acid), lime pretreatment, controlled pH hot water pretreatment, and sulfur dioxide steam explosion pretreatment. Over the course of two separate USDA- and DOE-funded projects, these pretreatment technologies were applied to two different corn stover batches, followed by enzymatic hydrolysis of the remaining solids from each pretreatment technology using identical enzyme preparations, enzyme loadings, and enzymatic hydrolysis assays. Identical analytical methods and a consistent material balance methodology were employed to develop comparative sugar yield data for each pretreatment and subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis. Although there were differences in the profiles of sugar release, with the more acidic pretreatments releasing more xylose directly in the pretreatment step than the alkaline pretreatments, the overall glucose and xylose yields (monomers + oligomers) from combined pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis process steps were very similar for all of these leading pretreatment technologies. Some of the water-only and alkaline pretreatment technologies resulted in significant amounts of residual xylose oligomers still remaining after enzymatic hydrolysis that may require specialized enzyme preparations to fully convert xylose oligomers to monomers.

AB Dimethylsulfoxide-solubilized polysaccharides from delignified corn stover and aspen were characterized. The biomass was delignified by two different techniques; a standard acid chlorite and a pulp and paper QPD technique comprising chelation (Q), peroxide (P), and acid-chlorite (D). Major polysaccharides in all fractions were diversely substituted xylan. Xylan acetylation was intact after chlorite delignification and, as expected, xylan from QPD-delignified fraction was de-acetylated by the alkaline peroxide step. The study of DMSO-extractable xylans from chlorite-delignified biomass revealed major differences in native acetylation patterns between corn stover and aspen xylan. Xylan from cell walls of corn stover contains 2-O- and 3-O-mono-acetylated xylan and [MeGlcA-alpha-(1 -> 2)][3-OAc]-xylp units. In addition, aspen xylan also contains 2,3-di-O-acetylated xylose. 1,4-beta-d-xylp residues substituted with MeGlcA at O-2 position are absent in chlorite-delignified aspen xylan. Sugar composition in accord with NMR-spectroscopic data indicated that corn stover xylan is arabinosylated while aspen xylan is not. We have shown that corn stover xylan has similar structure with xylans from other plants of Poales order. No evidence was found to indicate the presence of 1,4-beta-d-[MeGlcA-alpha-(1 -> 2)][Ara-alpha-(1 -> 3)]-xylp in corn stover xylan fractions.

AB It has previously been shown that the improved digestibility of dilute acid pretreated corn stover is at least partially due to the removal of xylan and the consequent increase in accessibility of the cellulose to cellobiohydrolase enzymes. We now report on the impact that lignin removal has on the accessibility and digestibility of dilute acid pretreated corn stover. Samples of corn stover were subjected to dilute sulfuric acid pretreatment with and without simultaneous (partial) lignin removal. In addition, some samples were completely delignified after the pretreatment step using acidified sodium chlorite. The accessibility and digestibility of the samples were tested using a fluorescence-labeled cellobiohydrolase (Trichoderma reesei Cel7A) purified from a commercial cellulase preparation. Partial delignification of corn stover during dilute acid pretreatment was shown to improve cellulose digestibility by T. reesei Cel7A; however, decreasing the lignin content below 5% (g g(-1)) by treatment with acidified sodium chlorite resulted in a dramatic reduction in cellulose digestibility. Importantly, this effect was found to be enhanced in samples with lower xylan contents suggesting that the near complete removal of xylan and lignin may cause aggregation of the cellulose microfibrils resulting in decreased cellulase accessibility.

AB Genome sequencing of a variety of fungi is a major initiative currently supported by the Department of Energy's Joint Genome Institute. Encoded within the genomes of many fungi are upwards of 200+ enzymes called glycoside hydrolases (GHs). GHs are known for their ability to hydrolyze the polysaccharide components of lignocellulosic biomass. Production of ethanol and "next generation" biofuels from lignocellulosic biomass represents a sustainable route to biofuels production. However, this process has to become more economical before large scale operations are put into place. Identifying and characterizing GHs with improved properties for biomass degradation is a key factor for the development of cost effective processes to convert biomass to fuels and chemicals. With the recent explosion in the number of GH encoding genes discovered by fungal genome sequencing projects, it has become apparent that improvements in GH gene annotation processes have to be developed. This will enable more informed and efficient decision making with regard to selection and utilization of these important enzymes in bioprocess that produce fuels and chemicals from lignocellulosic feedstocks.

AB The filamentous fungi Trichoderma reesei and Penicillium funiculosum produce highly effective enzyme mixtures that degrade the cellulose and hemicellulose components of plant cell walls. Many fungal species produce a glycoside hydrolase family 7 (Cel7A) cellobiohydrolase, a class of enzymes that catalytically process from the reducing end of cellulose. A direct amino acid comparison of these two enzymes shows that they not only have high amino acid homology, but also contain analogous N-linked glycosylation sites on the catalytic domain. We have previously shown (Jeoh et al. in Biotechnol Biofuels, 1:10, 2008) that expression of T. reesei cellobiohydrolase I in a commonly used industrial expression host, Aspergillus niger var. awamori, results in an increase in the amount of N-linked glycosylation of the enzyme, which negatively affects crystalline cellulose degradation activity as well as thermal stability. This complementary study examines the significance of individual N-linked glycans on the surface of the catalytic domain of Cel7A cellobiohydrolases from T. reesei and P. funiculosum by genetically adding or removing N-linked glycosylation motifs using site directed mutagenesis. Modified enzymes, expressed in A. niger var. awamori, were tested for activity and thermal stability. It was concluded that N-linked glycans in peptide loops that form part of the active site tunnel have the greatest impact on both thermal stability and enzymatic activity on crystalline cellulose for both the T. reesei and P. funiculosum Cel7A enzymes. Specifically, for the Cel7A T. reesei enzyme expressed in A. niger var. awamori, removal of the N384 glycosylation site yields a mutant with 70% greater activity after 120 h compared to the heterologously expressed wild type T. reesei enzyme. In addition, similar activity improvements were found to be associated with the addition of a new glycosylation motif at N194 in P. funiculosum. This mutant also exhibits 70% greater activity after 120 h compared to the wild type P. funiculosum enzyme expressed in A. niger var. awamori. Overall, this study demonstrates that "tuning" enzyme glycosylation for expression from heterologous expression hosts is essential for generating engineered enzymes with optimal stability and activity.

AB Analysis of variously pretreated corn stover samples showed neutral to mildly acidic pretreatments were more effective at removing xylan from corn stover and more likely to maintain the acetyl to xylopyranosyl ratios present in untreated material than were alkaline treatments. Retention of acetyl groups in the residual solids resulted in greater resistance to hydrolysis by endoxylanase alone, although the synergistic combination of endoxylanase and acetyl xylan esterase enzymes permitted higher xylan conversions to be observed. Acetyl xylan esterase alone did little to improve hydrolysis by cellulolytic enzymes, although a direct relationship was observed between the enzymatic removal of acetyl groups and improvements in the enzymatic conversion of xylan present in substrates. In all cases, effective xylan conversions were found to significantly improve glucan conversions achievable by cellulolytic enzymes. Additionally, acetyl and xylan removal not only enhanced the respective initial rates of xylan and glucan conversion, but also the overall extents of conversion. This work emphasizes the necessity for xylanolytic enzymes during saccharification processes and specifically for the optimization of acetyl esterase and xylanase synergies when biomass processes include milder pretreatments, such as hot water or sulfite steam explosion.

AB l-Arabinose is one of the sugars found in hemicellulose, a major component of plant cell walls. The ability to convert l-arabinose to ethanol would improve the economics of biomass to ethanol fermentations. One of the limitations for l-arabinose fermentation in the current engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains is poor transport of the sugar. To better understand l-arabinose transport and use in yeasts and to identify a source for efficient l-arabinose transporters, 165 non-Saccharomyces yeast strains were studied. These yeast strains were arranged into six groups based on the minimum time required to utilize 20 g/L of l-arabinose. Initial transport rates of l-arabinose were determined for several species and a more comprehensive transport study was done in four selected species. Detailed transport kinetics in Arxula adeninivorans suggested both low and high affinity components while Debaryomyces hansenii var. fabryii, Kluyveromyces marxianus and Pichia guilliermondii possessed a single component, high affinity active transport systems.

Current best pretreatment processes are reasonably efficient at making the cellulose/hemicellulose/lignin matrix amenable to enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation, but they release a number of toxic compounds into the hydrolysate which inhibit the growth and ethanol productivity of fermentation organisms. Conditioning methods designed to reduce the toxicity of hydrolysates are effective, but add to process costs and tend to reduce sugar yields, thus adding significantly to the final cost of production. Reducing the cost of cellulosic ethanol production will likely require enhanced understanding of the source and mode of action of hydrolysate toxic compounds, the means by which some organisms resist the actions of these compounds, and the methodology and mechanisms for conditioning hydrolysate to reduce toxicity. This review will provide an update on the state of knowledge in these areas and can provide insights useful for the crafting of hypotheses for improvements in pretreatment, conditioning, and fermentation organisms.

AB This paper presents results from a 40 year Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) based dynamical downscaling experiment performed at 12 km horizontal grid spacing, centered on the state of California, and forced by a 1A degrees x 1.25A degrees finite-volume current-climate Community Climate System Model ver. 3 (CCSM3) simulation. In-depth comparisons between modeled and observed regional-average precipitation, 2 m temperature, and snowpack are performed. The regional model reproduces the spatial distribution of precipitation quite well, but substantially overestimates rainfall along windward slopes. This is due to strong overprediction of precipitation intensity; precipitation frequency is actually underpredicted by the model. Moisture fluxes impinging on the coast seem to be well-represented over California, implying that precipitation bias is caused by processes internal to WRF. Positive-definite moisture advection and use of the Grell cumulus parameterization result in some decrease in precipitation bias, but other sources are needed to explain the full bias magnitude. Surface temperature is well simulated in all seasons except summer, when overly-dry soil moisture results in a several degree warm bias in both CCSM3 and WRF. Additionally, coastal temperatures appear to be too warm due to a coastal sea surface temperature bias inherited from CCSM3. Modeled snowfall/snowmelt agrees quite well with observations, but snow water equivalent is found to be much too low due to monthly reinitialization of all regional model fields from CCSM3 values.

AB There is considerable interest in the oxidative fate of phenols such as p-cresol as environmental pollutants and uremic toxins. We supply a menu of spectroscopic options for the high throughput screening of laccase oxidation of p-cresol through multiple modes of detection. Laccase activity was monitored kinetically at pH 4.5 by absorption changes at 250 nm, 274 nm or 297 nm, and in endpoint mode by the bathochromic shift in absorption to 326 nm in 50 mM NaOH. Laccase oxidation of p-cresol was also detected by product fluorescence at 425 nm after excitation at 262 nm or 322 nm in 50 mM NaOH. We optimized the kinetic parameters for p-cresol oxidation (pH optimum 4.5-5.1; 37 degrees C; Km = 2.2 mM) resulting in laccase limits of detection and quantitation of 25 pg/mu L and 75 pg/mu L, respectively (similar to 360 pM; 25 ppb). The sensitivity for p-cresol was similar to previously reported values. The small (similar to 20%) decrease in signal strength after six cycles of excitation over a 3 h period was attributed to photobleaching or photodegradation of the emitter and not due to fluorescence decay (photoinstability). Halide inhibition was characteristic of laccases (IC(50) = 25 mM NaCl). A unique advantage of our assay is that laccase catalysis could be interrogated using multi-mode absorption or fluorescence under acidic or basic conditions, in real time or endpoint modes. Orthogonal interrogation facilitates ratiometric analysis enabling high specificity while minimizing interferences during compound library screening. The phenolic alcohol p-cresol may be a model for monolignol oxidation. Our studies might find applications in biofuels, to triage dialysis patients, or for the environmental bioremediation of phenols.

AB A systematic approach was developed to derive non-stiff reduced mechanisms for direct numerical simulations (DNS) with explicit integration solvers. The stiffness reduction was achieved through on-the-fly elimination of short time-scales induced by two features of fast chemical reactivity, namely quasi-steady-state (QSS) species and partial-equilibrium (PE) reactions. The sparse algebraic equations resulting from QSS and PE approximations were utilized such that the efficiency of the dynamic stiffness reduction is high compared with general methods of time-scale reduction based on Jacobian decomposition. Using the dimension reduction Strategies developed in Our previous work, a reduced mechanism with 52 species was first derived from a detailed mechanism with 561 species. The reduced mechanism was validated for ignition and extinction applications Over the parameter range of equivalence ratio between 0.5 and 1.5, pressure between 10 and 50 atm, and initial temperature between 700 and 1600 K for ignition, and worst-case errors of approximately 30% were observed. The reduced mechanism with dynamic stiffness removal was then applied in homogeneous and 1-D ignition applications, as well as a 2-D direct numerical simulation of ignition with temperature inhomogeneities at constant volume with integration time-steps of 5-10 ns. The integration was numerically stable and good accuracy was achieved. Published by Elsevier Inc. on behalf of The Combustion Institute.

AB There exist different phase-field models for the simulation of grain growth in polycrystalline structures. In this paper, the model formulation, application and simulation results are compared for two of these approaches. First, we derive relations between the parameters in both models that represent the same set of grain boundary energies and mobilities. Then, simulation results obtained with both models, using equivalent model parameters, are compared for grain structures in 2D and 3D. The evolution of the individual grains, grain boundaries and triple junction angles is followed in detail. Moreover, the simulation results obtained with both approaches are compared using analytical theories and previous simulation results as benchmarks. We find that both models give essentially the same results, except for differences in the structure near small shrinking grains which are most often locally and temporary for large grain structures.

AB Diamond nanotoroids are a new class of carbon nanostructures with interesting theoretical properties and are ideal for studying the elastic and plastic deformation behavior of diamond nanorods. Various sizes of diamond nanotoroids, along with a carbon nanotube, a carbon nanotube toroid, and a diamond nanorod were simulated using molecular dynamics. We tested these compounds for stability and compared our calculated values for the ultimate tensile strength and the Young's modulus over a range of strain rates to those reported in the literature and attempted to explain any discrepancies found between our results and those reported. The results of these simulations suggest the tensile strength of diamond nanotoroids would be many times stronger than conventional materials and this novel material has potential for use in many demanding applications.

AB A global poverty map has been produced at 30 arcsec resolution using a poverty index calculated by dividing population count (LandScan 2004) by the brightness of satellite observed lighting (DMSP nighttime lights). Inputs to the LandScan product include satellite-derived land cover and topography, plus human settlement outlines derived from high-resolution imagery. The poverty estimates have been calibrated using national level poverty data from the World Development Indicators (WDI) 2006 edition. The total estimate of the numbers of individuals living in poverty is 2.2 billion, slightly under the WDI estimate of 2.6 billion. We have demonstrated a new class of poverty map that should improve over time through the inclusion of new reference data for calibration of poverty estimates and as improvements are made in the satellite observation of human activities related to economic activity and technology access.

AB Microsatellite DNA loci have emerged as the dominant genetic tool for addressing questions associated with genetic diversity in many wildlife species, including crocodilians. Despite their usefulness, their isolation and development can be costly, as well as labour intensive, limiting their wider use in many crocodilian species. In this study, we investigate the cross-species amplification success of 82 existing microsatellites previously isolated for the saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) in 18 non-target crocodilian species; Alligator sinensis, Caiman crocodylus, Caiman latirostris, Caiman yacare, Melanosuchus niger, Paleosuchus palpebrosus, Crocodylus acutus, Mecistops cataphractus, Crocodylus intermedius, Crocodylus johnstoni, Crocodylus mindorensis, Crocodylus moreletii, Crocodylus niloticus, Crocodylus novaeguineae, Crocodylus palustis, Crocodylus rhombifer, Crocodylus siamensis, and Osteolaemus tetraspis. Our results show a high level of microsatellites cross-amplification making available polymorphic markers for a range of crocodilian species previously lacking informative genetic markers.

AB Genomic elucidation and mapping of novel organisms requires the generation of large genetic resources. In this study, 253 novel and polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized for the saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) by constructing libraries enriched for microsatellite DNA. All markers were evaluated on animals obtained from Darwin Crocodile Farm in the Northern Territory, Australia, and are intended for future use in the construction of a genetic-linkage map for the saltwater crocodile. The 253 loci yielded an average of 4.12 alleles per locus, and those selected for mapping had an average polymorphic information content (PIC) of 0.425.

AB We isolated and characterized 12 polymorphic microsatellite loci in the Malagasy endemic, Tina striata Radlk. (Sapindaceae). The number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 6 (N = 28 individuals). Polymorphic information content ranged from 0.132 to 0.767 and observed heterozygosity from 0.154 to 0.800. These markers will be valuable in estimating outcrossing rates and genetic variation in populations of T. striata, and aid in the conservation of populations of T. striata and other closely related species in the Malagasy Sapindaceae.

Loci were screened in 12 individuals of both T. polytmus and its sister species T. scitulus, also a Jamaican endemic. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 10, observed heterozygosity ranged from 0 to 1, and the probability of identity values ranged from 0.038 to 0.663. These new loci provide tools for characterizing the narrow hybrid zone between the two species.

AB The class IV adenylyl cyclase from Yersinia pestis has been engineered by site-specific mutagenesis to facilitate crystallization at neutral pH, The wild-type enzyme crystallized only below pH 5, consistent with the observation of a carboxyl-carboxylate H bond in a crystal contact in the refined structure 2FJT. On the basis of that unliganded structure at 1.9 angstrom resolution, two different approaches were tested with the goal of producing a higher-pH crystal needed tor inhibitor complexation and mechanistic studies. In one approach, Asp 19, which forms the growth-limiting dicarboxyl contact in wild-type triclinic crystals. was modified to Ala and Asn in hopes of relieving the acid-dependence of that crystal form. In the other approach, wild-type residues Met 18, Glu 25, and Asp 55 were (individually) changed to lysine to reduce the protein's excess negative charge in hopes of enabling growth of new, higher-pH forms. These three sites were selected based on their high solvent exposure and lack of intraprotein interactions. The D19A and D19N mutants had reduced solubility and did not crystallize. The other three mutants all crystallized, producing several new forms at neutral pH. One of these forms, with the D55K mutant, enabled a product complex at 0.16 nm resolution. Structure 3GHX. This Structure Shows Why the new crystal Form required the mutation in order to grow at neutral pH. This approach could be useful in other cases where excess negative charge inhibits the crystallization of low-pI proteins.

AB Surfactant-POM (polyoxometalate) phases are fascinating in both their self-assembly behavior and their utility as catalysts, probes, and photochromic, electrochroinic, and magnetic devices. Well-ordered lamellar phases are formed when the surfactant:POM ratio is 4:1 or 2:1, and these have been described in great detail from single-crystal X-ray diffraction Studies. However. the surfactant-encapsulated clusters (SECs) with much larger surfactant:POM ratios do not form single-crystals readily. Thus less is known about their structural detail, and the evolution from the well-ordered lamellar phases to the SECs with increasing surfactant: POM ratio has not been detailed. We present here two structures that have resulted from an investigation of understanding the evolution Of the surfactant-POM lamellar phase as the surfactant:POM ratio increases. [H(2)SiMo(12)O(40)][CH(3)CN](2)[C(16)H(33)N(CH(3))(3)](4) (monoclinic #4, P2(1) a = 12.636(2) angstrom, b = 20.577(4) angstrom, c = 22.364(4) angstrom, beta = 93.394(4)degrees) holds true to the preference of 4:1 surfactant:POM ratio in well-ordered crystalline phases, whereas [H(x)SiMo(12)O(40)][C(16)H(33)N(CH(3))(3)](5)[CH(3)CN](4) (triclinic No. 2, P (1) over bar, a = 12.513(7) angstrom, b = 23.370) angstrom, c = 2.44(1) angstrom, alpha = 93.418(8)degrees. beta = 92.046(8)degrees, gamma = 99.113(7)degrees) provides the first example of a surfactant-POM phase with a surfactant:POM ratio >4. This structure provides a glimpse of the structural evolution front ordered lamellar POM-surfactant phases to more disordered phases such as the SECs.

The results of structural studies showed that LiSal crystallizes from water its a stable modification different from the monohydrate LiSal center dot H2O reported previously. Growth from methanol results in the formation of unstable crystals of LiSal center dot MeOH that quickly degrade in air due to the loss of methanol. Initial radiation detection tests showed a good neutron/gamma separation in water-grown modification making LiSal in its single crystal form a potential material for thermal neutron detection.

AB An immense array of naturally occurring biological systems have evolved that convert simple substrates into the products that cells need for growth and persistence. Through the careful application of metabolic engineering and synthetic biology, this biotransformation potential can be harnessed to produce chemicals that address unmet clinical and industrial needs. Developing the capacity to utilize biology to perform chemistry is a matter of increasing control over both the function of synthetic biological systems and the engineering of those systems. Recent efforts have improved general techniques and yielded successes in the use of synthetic biology for the production of drugs, bulk chemicals, and fuels in microbial platform hosts. Synthetic promoter systems and novel RNA-based, or riboregulator, mechanisms give more control over gene expression. Improved methods for isolating, engineering, and evolving enzymes give more control over substrate and product specificity and better catalysis inside the cell. New computational tools and methods for high-throughput system assembly and analysis may lead to more rapid forward engineering. We highlight research that reduces reliance upon natural biological components and point to future work that may enable more rational design and assembly of synthetic biological systems for synthetic chemistry.

AB We review current progress in the understanding of interfaces in bulk thermoelectric materials. Following a brief discussion of the mechanisms by which embedded interfaces can enhance the electronic and thermal transport properties, we focus on emerging routes to engineer the nanoscale grain and interfacial structures in bulk thermoelectric materials. We address in particular (i) control of crystallographic texture, (ii) reduction of grain size to nanocrystalline dimensions, and (iii) formation of nanocomposite structures. While these approaches are beginning to yield promising improvements in performance, continued progress will require an improved fundamental understanding of the mechanisms governing the formation, stability, and properties of thermoelectric interfaces.

AB Recent advances in colloidal science are having a dramatic impact on the development of next generation low-cost and/or high-efficiency solar cells. Simple and safe solution phase syntheses that yield monodisperse, passivated, non-aggregated semiconductor nanocrystals of high optoelectronic quality have opened the door to several routes to new photovoltaic devices which are currently being explored. In one route, colloidal semiconductor nanocrystal "inks" are used primarily to lower the fabrication cost of the photoabsorbing layer of the solar cell. Nanocrystals are cast onto a Substrate to form either an electronically coupled nanocrystal array or are sintered to form a bulk semiconductor layer Such that the bandgap of either is optimized for the solar spectrum (1.0-1.6 eV if the photon to carrier quantum yields less than 100%). The sintered devices (and without special efforts, the nanocrystal array devices as well) are limited to power conversion efficiencies less than the Shockley-Queisser limit of 33.7% but may possibly be produced at a fraction of the manufacturing cost of an equivalent process that uses vacuum-based deposition for the absorber layer. However, some quantum confined nanocrystals display an electron-hole pair generation phenomena with greater than 100% quantum yield, called "multiple exciton generation" (MEG) or "carrier multiplication" (CM). These quantum dots are being used to develop solar cells that theoretically may exceed the Shockley-Queisser limit. The optimum bandgap for such photoabsorbers shifts to smaller energy (0.6-1.1 eV), and thus colloidal quantum dots of low bandgap materials such as PbS and PbSe have been the focus of research efforts, although multiple exciton generation has also been observed in several other systems including InAs and Si. This review focuses on the fundamental physics and chemistry of nanocrystal solar cells and on the device development efforts to utilize colloidal nanocrystals as the key component of the absorber layer in next generation solar cells. Development efforts are put into context on a quantitative and up-to-date map of solar cell cost and efficiency to clarify efforts and identify potential opportunities in light of technical limitations and recent advances in existing technology. Key nanocrystal/material selection issues are discussed, and finally, we present four grand challenges that must be addressed along the path to developing low-cost high-efficiency nanocrystal based solar cells.

AB Nano-sized lithium manganese oxide (LMO) dispersed on carbon nanotubes (CNT) has been synthesized successfully via a microwave-assisted hydrothermal reaction at 200 degrees C for 30 min using MnO(2)-coated CNT and an aqueous LiOH solution. The initial specific capacity is 99.4 mAh/g at a 1.6 C-rate, and is maintained at 99.1 mAh/g even at a 16 C-rate. The initial specific capacity is also maintained up to the 50th cycle to give 97% capacity retention. The LMO/CNT nanocomposite shows excellent power performance and good structural reversibility as an electrode material in energy storage systems, such as lithium-ion batteries and electrochemical capacitors. This synthetic strategy opens a new avenue for the effective and facile synthesis of lithium transition metal oxide/CNT nanocomposite. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

TI Chemical-Looping Combustion of Coal with Metal Oxide Oxygen Carriers
SO ENERGY & FUELS
LA English
DT Article
ID SOLID FUELS; HYDROGEN
AB The combustion and reoxidation properties of direct coal chemical-looping combustion (CLC) over CuO, Fe(2)O(3), Co(3)O(4), NiO, and Mn(2)O(3) were investigated using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and bench-scale fixed-bed flow reactor studies. When coal is heated in either nitrogen or carbon dioxide (CO,), 50% of weight loss was observed because of partial pyrolysis, consistent with the proximate analysis. Among various metal oxides evaluated, CuO showed the best reaction properties: CuO Can initiate the reduction reaction as low as 500 degrees C and complete the full combustion at 700 degrees C. In addition. the reduced copper can be fully reoxidized by air at 700 degrees C. The Combustion products formed during the CLC reaction of the coal/metal oxide mixture are CO(2) and water, while no carbon monoxide was observed. Multicycle TGA tests and bench-scale fixed-bed flow reactor tests strongly supported the feasibility of CLC of coal by using CuO as an oxygen carrier. Scanning. electron microscopy (SEM) images of solid reaction products indicated some changes in the surface morphology of a CuO-coal sample after reduction/oxidation reactions at 800 degrees C. However, significant surface sintering was not observed. The interactions of fly ash with metal oxides were investigated by X-ray diffraction and thermodynamic analysis. Overall, the results indicated that it is feasible to develop CLC with coal by metal oxides as oxygen carriers.

AB In this work, we examine the potential advantages of co-locating wind and energy storage to increase transmission utilization and decrease transmission costs. Co-location of wind and storage decreases transmission requirements, but also decreases the economic value of energy storage compared to locating energy storage at the load. This represents a tradeoff which we examine to estimate the transmission costs required to justify moving storage from load-sited to wind-sited in three different locations in the United States. We examined compressed air energy storage (CAES) in three "wind by wire" scenarios with a variety of transmission and CAES sizes relative to a given amount of wind. In the sites and years evaluated, the optimal amount of transmission ranges from 60% to 100% of the wind farm rating, with the optimal amount of CAES equal to 0-35% of the wind farm rating, depending heavily on wind resource, value of electricity in the local market, and the cost of natural gas.

AB Ex-situ carbonation of mixtures of caustic byproduct materials and produced oil-field brine provides a niche opportunity to sequester anthropogenic CO2, while concomitantly reducing the basicity of the reactive slurry. A series of tests were conducted to investigate a novel reaction concept designed to achieve neutralization of mixtures of acidic oil field produced brine and caustic industrial byproducts while sequestering substantial quantities of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) in a mixed-flow reactor. Experiments were conducted to determine the CO2-bearing capacity of reactive mixtures of brine from the Oriskany Sandstone Formation with three caustic industrial byproducts: flue gas desulfurization (FGD) spray dryer ash, Class C fly ash subbituminous coal combustion byproduct, and bauxite residue slurry from the alumina production process. Reactions were conducted in a closed, well-mixed (1,500 rpm) reactor with gas composed of 29.46% vol./vol. CO2 balanced by nitrogen gas (N-2) fed at a rate of 300 mL/min. Reactions were carried out at ambient conditions. Results show linear relationships between caustic byproduct addition and CO2-bearing capacity, with relatively small impact of brine addition as compared to deionized water addition. FGD spray dryer ash/brine mixtures exhibited higher CO2 reactivity than those using Class C fly ash (0.759 moles CO2, at 23.6% solids by weight and 0.036 moles CO2 at 23.3% solids by weight, respectively). Bauxite residue exhibited moderate capacities in mixtures with higher percent solids (0.335 moles CO2 in 40% solids bauxite residue slurry). Carbonation capacity of caustic byproduct/acidic brine mixtures was shown to increase linearly with respect to percent caustic byproduct addition, but enhanced mineral carbonate precipitation resulting from synergistic reaction of brine cations with increased dissolved carbonate species was not observed in the short term.

AB P>The coral holobiont is the community of metazoans, protists and microbes associated with scleractinian corals. Disruptions in these associations have been correlated with coral disease, but little is known about the series of events involved in the shift from mutualism to pathogenesis. To evaluate structural and functional changes in coral microbial communities, Porites compressa was exposed to four stressors: increased temperature, elevated nutrients, dissolved organic carbon loading and reduced pH. Microbial metagenomic samples were collected and pyrosequenced. Functional gene analysis demonstrated that stressors increased the abundance of microbial genes involved in virulence, stress resistance, sulfur and nitrogen metabolism, motility and chemotaxis, fatty acid and lipid utilization, and secondary metabolism. Relative changes in taxonomy also demonstrated that coral-associated microbiota (Archaea, Bacteria, protists) shifted from a healthy-associated coral community (e.g. Cyanobacteria, Proteobacteria and the zooxanthellae Symbiodinium) to a community (e.g. Bacteriodetes, Fusobacteria and Fungi) of microbes often found on diseased corals. Additionally, low-abundance Vibrio spp. were found to significantly alter microbiome metabolism, suggesting that the contribution of a just a few members of a community can profoundly shift the health status of the coral holobiont.

AB As key components of the electron transfer (ET) pathways used for dissimilatory reduction of solid iron [Fe(III)] (hydr)oxides, outer membrane multihaem c-type cytochromes MtrC and OmcA of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 and OmcE and OmcS of Geobacter sulfurreducens mediate ET reactions extracellularly. Both MtrC and OmcA are at least partially exposed to the extracellular side of the outer membrane and their translocation across the outer membrane is mediated by bacterial type II secretion system. Purified MtrC and OmcA can bind Fe(III) oxides, such as haematite (alpha-Fe(2)O(3)), and directly transfer electrons to the haematite surface. Bindings of MtrC and OmcA to haematite are probably facilitated by their putative haematite-binding motifs whose conserved sequence is Thr-Pro-Ser/Thr. Purified MtrC and OmcA also exhibit broad operating potential ranges that make it thermodynamically feasible to transfer electrons directly not only to Fe(III) oxides but also to other extracellular substrates with different redox potentials. OmcE and OmcS are proposed to be located on the Geobacter cell surface where they are believed to function as intermediates to relay electrons to type IV pili, which are hypothesized to transfer electrons directly to the metal oxides. Cell surface-localized cytochromes thus are key components mediating extracellular ET reactions in both Shewanella and Geobacter for extracellular reduction of Fe(III) oxides.

AB A mass balance study was performed under controlled field conditions to investigate the phytoremediation of perchloroethylene (PCE) by hybrid poplar trees. Water containing 7-14 mg L(-1) PCE was added to the test bed. Perchloroethylene, trichloroethylene, and cis-dichloroethylene were detected in the effluent at an average of 0.12 mg L(-1), 3.9 mg L(-1), and 1.9 mg L(-1), respectively. The total mass of chlorinated ethenes in the water was reduced by 99%. Over 95% of the recovered chlorine was as free chloride in the soil, indicating near-complete dehalogenation of the PCE. Transpiration, volatilization, and accumulation in the trees were all found to be minor loss mechanisms. In contrast, 98% of PCE applied to an unplanted soil chamber was recovered as PCE in the effluent water or volatilized into the air. These results suggest that phytoremediation can be an effective method for treating PCE-contaminated groundwater in field applications. (c) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB Perchlorate (ClO4-) is a common groundwater constituent with both synthetic and natural sources. A potentially important source of ClO4- is past agricultural application of ClO4--bearingnatural NO3- fertilizer imported from the Atacama Desert, Chile, but evidence for this has been largely circumstantial. Here we report ClO4- stable isotope data (delta(CI)-C-37, delta O-18, and Delta O-17), along with other supporting chemical and isotopic environmental tracer data, to document groundwater ClO4- contamination sources and history in parts of Long Island, New York. Sampled groundwaters were oxic and ClO4- apparently was not affected by biodegradation within the aquifers. Synthetic ClO4- was indicated by the isotopic method in groundwater near a fireworks disposal site at a former missile base, Atacama ClO4- was indicated in agricultural and urbanizing areas in groundwaters with apparent ages >20 years. In an agricultural area, ClO4- concentrations and ClO4-/NO3- ratios increased with groundwater age, possibly because of decreasing application rates of Atacama NO3- fertilizers and/or decreasing ClO4- concentrations in Atacama NO3- fertilizers in recent years. Because ClO4-/NO3- ratios of Atacama NO3- fertilizers imported in the past (similar to 2 x 10(-3) mol mol(-1)) were much higher than the ClO4-/NO3- ratio of recommended drinking-water limits (7 X 10(-5) mol mol(-1) in New York), ClO4- could exceed drinking-water limits even where NO3- does not, and where Atacama NO3- was only a minor source of N. Groundwater ClO4- with distinctive isotopic composition was a sensitive indicator of past Atacama NO3- fertilizer use on Long Island and may be common in other areas that received NO3- fertilizers from the late 19th century through the 20th century.

TI Formaldehyde and Other Volatile Organic Chemical Emissions in Four FEMA

SO ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY
LA English
DT Article
ID INDOOR-VOCS; AIR
AB Indoor concentrations of 33 volatile organic chemicals were measured in four unoccupied temporary housing units (THUS) belonging to the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA). The highest level contaminants in the THUS include formaldehyde, acetic acid, and 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol diisobutyrate (TXIB) with median concentrations of 440, 425, and 36 ppb, respectively. A number of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were higher than published concentrations in other dwellings, but whole THU emission factors for most chemicals were either lower than or similar to values reported for newly constructed homes. However, several chemicals exceeded previously measured new building emission rates by over a factor of 5. Materials were collected from the THUS, and emission factors were determined using small chambers to identify the potential source of indoor contaminants. The individual materials were grouped by material type, and emissions were used to derive exposure concentrations for comparison to reference values. Using material loading factors and ventilation rates that are relevant to the trailers, all of the material types we tested had at least two chemicals (formaldehyde and nonanal)with derived concentrations in excess of chronic reference exposure levels or odor thresholds. The extensive use of composite wood products, sealants, and vinyl coverings, combined with the low air exchange rates relative to material surface areas, may explain the high concentrations of some VOCs and formaldehyde.

AB Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are flame retardants that have been used in consumer products and furniture for three decades. Currently, very little is known about their fate in the environment and specifically about their susceptibility to aerobic biotransformation. Here, we investigated the ability of the polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) degrading bacteria Rhodococcus jostii RHA1 and Burkholderia xenovorans LB400 to transform mono- through hexa-BDEs at ppb levels. We also tested the PBDE transforming abilities of the related strain Rhodococcus sp. RR1 and the ether-degrading Pseudonocardia dioxanivorans CB1190. The two PCB-degrading strains transformed all of the mono- through penta-BDEs and strain LB400 transformed one of the hexa-BDEs. The extent of transformation was inversely proportional to the degree of bromination. Strains RR1 and CB1190 were only able to transform the less brominated mono- and di-BDE congeners. RHA1 released stoichiometric quantities of bromide while transforming mono- and tetra-BDE congeners, LB400 instead converted most of a mono-BDE to a hydroxylated mono-BDE. This is the first report of aerobic transformation of tetra-, penta,- and hexa-BDEs as well as the first report of stoichiometric release of bromide during PBDE transformation.

AB We evaluated three exposure models with data obtained from measurements among workers who use "aerosol" solvent products in the vehicle repair industry and with field experiments using these products to simulate the same exposure conditions. The three exposure models were the (1) homogeneously mixed-one-box model, (2) multizone model, and (3) eddy-diffusion model. Temporally differentiated real-time breathing zone volatile organic compound (VOC) concentration measurements, integrated far-field area samples, and simulated experiments were used in estimating parameters, such as emission rates, diffusivity, and near-field dimensions. We assessed differences in model input requirements and their efficacy for predictive modeling. The One-box model was not able to resemble the temporal profile of exposure concentrations, but it performed well concerning time-weighted exposure over extended time periods. However, this model required an adjustment for spatial concentration gradients. Multizone models and diffusion-models may solve this problem. However, we found that the reliable use of both these models requires extensive field data to appropriately define pivotal parameters such as diffusivity or near-field dimensions. We conclude that it is difficult to apply these models for predicting VOC exposures in the workplace, However, for comparative exposure scenarios in life-cycle assessment they may be useful.

ID ACE-ASIA; EMISSIONS; ASSIMILATION; RETRIEVALS; MODEL
AB Aerosol distributions in Asia calculated over a 4-year period and constrained by satellite observations of aerosol optical depth (AOD) are presented. Vast regions in Asia that include >80% of the population have PM2.5 concentrations that exceed on an annual basis the WHO guideline of 10 mu g/m(3), often by factors of 2 to 4. These high aerosol loadings also have important radiative effects, causing a significant dimming at the surface, and mask similar to 45% of the warming by greenhouse gases. Black carbon (BC) concentrations are high throughout Asia, representing 5-10% of the total AOD, and contributing significantly to atmospheric warming (its warming potential is similar to 55% of that due to CO2). PM levels and AODs in year 2030, estimated based on simulations that consider future changes in emissions, are used to explore opportunities for win-win strategies built upon addressing air quality and climate change together. It is found that in 2030 the PM2.5 levels in significant parts of Asia will increase and exacerbate health impacts; but the aerosols will have a larger masking effect on radiative forcing, due to a decrease in BC and an increase in SO2 emissions.

AB There is a strong societal need to evaluate and understand the sustainability of biofuels, especially because of the significant increases in production mandated by many countries, including the United States. Sustainability will be a strong factor in the regulatory environment and investments in biofuels. Biomass feedstock production is an important contributor to environmental, social, and economic impacts from biofuels. This study presents a systems approach where the agricultural, energy, and environmental sectors are considered as components of a single system, and environmental liabilities are used as recoverable resources for biomass feedstock production. We focus on efficient use of land and water resources. We conducted a spatial analysis evaluating marginal land and degraded water resources to improve feedstock productivity with concomitant environmental restoration for the state of Nebraska. Results indicate that utilizing marginal land resources such as riparian and roadway buffer strips, brownfield sites, and marginal agricultural land could produce enough feedstocks to meet a maximum of 22% of the energy requirements of the state compared to the current supply of 2%. Degraded water resources such as nitrate-contaminated groundwater and wastewater were evaluated as sources of nutrients and water to improve feedstock productivity. Spatial overlap between degraded water and marginal land resources was found to be as high as 96% and could maintain sustainable feedstock production on marginal lands. Other benefits of implementing this strategy include feedstock intensification to decrease biomass transportation costs, restoration of contaminated water resources, and mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions.

AB In vitro cytotoxicities were measured for ionic liquids (ILs) containing various cations and anions using the MCF7 human breast cancer cell line. We measured the cytotoxicities of ionic liquids containing the cations pyridinium, pyrrolidinium, piperidinium, or imidazolium with various alkyl chain lengths, and the anions bromide, bis(trifluoromethanesulfone)imide (Tf(2)N), trifluoromethylsulfonate (TfO), or non-afluoromethylsulfonate (NfO). Three new hydrophobic, task-specific ionic liquids (TSILs), namely, [MBCNPip](+)[Tf(2)N](-), [MPS(2)Pip](+)[Tf(2)N](-), and [MPS(2)Pyrro](+)[Tf(2)N](-) designed for metal-ion extraction were also evaluated. IC(50) values of the ionic liquids toward the MCF7 cells ranged from 8 mu M to 44 mM. The toxicity depended significantly on the nature of the cations and anions, especially when the cations contained a long side chain. TSILs studied in this work were less toxic than the classical ILs. (c) 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Environ Toxicol 24: 388-395, 2009.

AB In the present work, we investigate the quantum thermal entanglement in molecular magnets composed of dimers of spin S, using an Entanglement Witness built from measurements of magnetic susceptibility. An entanglement temperature, T-e, is then obtained for some values of spin S. From this, it is shown that T-e is proportional to the intradimer exchange interaction J and that entanglement appears only for antiferromagnetic coupling. The results are compared to experiments carried on three isostructural materials: KNaMSi4O10 (M=Mn, Fe or Cu). Copyright (C) EPLA, 2009

ID EXHAUST EMISSIONS; VEHICLES; IMPACT
AB We conducted an assessment of North American heavy-duty engine emission test results for biodiesel from 49 experimental studies, including both engine dynamometer and vehicle test results. Comparison with a commercial database showed that the engines in the emissions database are not representative of the existing North American in-use fleet as of 2007; more than 50%, of the tested engines were of 1995 or earlier vintage. Nevertheless, the results show that the use of a common biodiesel blend (B20) consistently reduces emissions of particulate matter, hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide by 10-20%. Tests with B20 show varying effects on oxides of nitrogen (NO(x)). If results for pre-1992 two-cycle 6V-92TA(E) engines (which represent 0.20% of the 2007 in-use fleet but 28% of the engines tested) are removed, then there is no statistical evidence that the average NO(x) emissions from 130 and B20 are different (p value of 0.50 for an estimated average increase of 1%). Several researchers have used changes in engine calibration to eliminate any NO(x) penalty associated with B20 (in engines that show an increase in NO(x) with B20), while still maintaining the advantages of B20 in reducing other pollutants. The emissions effect of B20 on heavy-duty diesel truck emissions did not show any correlation with model year or type of fuel injection equipment.

Coherent X-ray diffraction profiles obtained on the incommensurate Spin Density Wave (SDW) reflection are consistent with the presence of a dislocation of the magnetic order, embedded at a few micrometers from the surface of the sample. Beyond the specific case of magnetic dislocations in chromium, this work may open up a new method for the study of magnetic defects embedded in the bulk.

ID SOLAR-NEUTRINO OBSERVATIONS; CP VIOLATION; OSCILLATIONS
AB We analyze in detail the predictions of "trimaximal" neutrino mixing, which is defined by a mixing matrix with identical second column elements. This column is therefore identical to the second column in the case of tri-bimaximal mixing. We also generalize trimaximal mixing by assuming that the other rows and columns of the mixing matrix individually can have the same forms as for tri-bimaximal mixing. The phenomenology of these alternative scenarios and their mixing angle and CP phase correlations are studied. We emphasize how trimaximal mixing scenarios can be distinguished experimentally from broken tri-bimaximal mixing.

AB Measurements of the neutral current cross sections for deep inelastic scattering in e(-) p collisions at HERA with a longitudinally polarised electron beam are presented. The single-differential cross-sections d sigma/dQ(2), d sigma/dx and d sigma/dy and the double-differential cross sections in Q(2) and x are measured in the kinematic region y < 0.9 and Q(2) > 185GeV(2) for both positively and negatively polarised electron beams and for each polarisation state separately. The measurements are based on an integrated luminosity of 169.9pb(-1) taken with the ZEUS detector in 2005 and 2006 at a centre-of-mass energy of 318 GeV. The structure functions x (F) over tilde (3) and xF(3)(gamma Z) are determined by combining the e(-) p results presented in this paper with previously measured e(+) p neutral current data. The asymmetry parameter A(-) is used to demonstrate the parity violating effects of electroweak interactions at large spacelike photon virtuality. The measurements agree well with the predictions of the Standard Model.

TI Spin density matrix elements in exclusive rho (0) electroproduction on
H-1 and H-2 targets at 27.5 GeV beam energy

AB Spin Density Matrix Elements (SDMEs) describing the angular distribution of exclusive rho (0) electroproduction and decay are determined in the HERMES experiment with 27.6 GeV beam energy and unpolarized hydrogen and deuterium targets. Eight (fifteen) SDMEs that are related (unrelated) to the longitudinal polarization of the beam are extracted in the kinematic region 1 < Q (2)< 7 GeV2, 3.0 < W < 6.3 GeV, and -t < 0.4 GeV2. Within the given experimental uncertainties, a hierarchy of relative sizes of helicity amplitudes is observed. Kinematic dependences of all SDMEs on Q (2) and t are presented, as well as the longitudinal-to-transverse rho (0) electroproduction cross-section ratio as a function of Q (2). A small but statistically significant deviation from the hypothesis of s-channel helicity conservation is observed. An indication is seen of a contribution of unnatural-parity-exchange amplitudes; these amplitudes are naturally generated with a quark-exchange mechanism.

TI Proton radiography of magnetic field in laser produced plasma
SO EUROPEAN PHYSICAL JOURNAL-SPECIAL TOPICS
LA English
DT Article
ID FUSION
AB Electromagnetic fields generated by the interaction with plasmas of long-pulse laser beams relevant to inertial confinement fusion have been measure. A proton beam generated by the interaction of an ultraintense laser with a thin metallic foil is used to probe the B-fields. The proton beam then generated is temporally short ( of the order of a ps), highly laminar and hence equivalent to a virtual point which makes it an ideal source for radiography. We have investigated, using face-on radiography, B fields at intensity around 10(14) W/cm(2) due to the non colinearity of temperature and density gradients.

DT Article

ID PERFORMANCE; INVESTMENTS; MODEL
AB This paper presents a set of metrics used to evaluate short-run knowledge benefits that accrued from research and development (R&D) projects funded in fiscal years 2000-2004 by automotive lightweighting materials (ALM) of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Although DOE presents to Congress energy, environmental, and security benefits and costs of its R&D efforts under the Government Performance and Results Act, DOE has yet to include knowledge benefits in that report [U.S. Department of Energy. (2007). Projected benefits of federal energy efficiency and renewable energy programs: FY2008 budget request. NREL/TP-640-41347 (March). Washington, DC: National Renewable Energy Laboratory for DOE Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. Retrieved February 12, 2007 from http:// wwwl.eere.energy.gov/ba/pba/2008-benefits.html].
ALM focuses on development and validation of advanced technologies that significantly reduce automotive vehicle body and chassis weight without compromising other attributes such as safety, performance, recyclability, and cost [U.S. Department of Energy. (2005a). Automotive lightweighting materials 2004 annual progress report. Washington, DC: DOE Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. Retrieved March 30, 2005 from http://www.eere.energy.gov/vehiclesandfuels/resources/fcvt-alm-fy04.shtmlj. The ultimate goal of ALM to have lightweighter materials in vehicles hinges on many issues, including the (1) collaborative nature of ALMS R&D with the automobile industry and (2) manufacturing knowledge gained through the R&D effort.
The ALM projects evaluated in this paper yielded numerous knowledge benefits in the short run. While these knowledge benefits are impressive, there remains uncertainty about whether the research will lead to incorporation of lightweight materials by the Big Three automakers into their manufacturing process and introduction of lightweight vehicles into the marketplace. The uncertainty illustrates a difference between (1) knowledge benefits and (2) energy, environmental, and security benefits emanating from R&D. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP), or thrombospondin-5 (TSP-5), is a secreted glycoprotein that is important for growth plate organization and function. Mutations in COMP cause two skeletal dysplasias, pseudoachondroplasia (PSACH) and multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (EDM1). In this study, we determined the structure of a recombinant protein that contains the last epidermal growth factor repeat, the type 3 repeats and the C-terminal domain (CTD) of COMP to 3.15-angstrom resolution limit by X-ray crystallography. The CTD is a beta-sandwich that is composed of 15 antiparallel beta-strands, and the type 3 repeats are a contiguous series of calcium binding sites that associate with the CTD at multiple points. The crystal packing reveals an exposed potential metal-ion-dependent adhesion site (MIDAS) on one edge of the beta-sandwich that is common to all TSPs and may serve as a binding site for collagens and other ligands. Disease-causing mutations in COMP disrupt calcium binding, disulfide bond formation, intramolecular interactions, or sites for potential ligand binding. The structure presented here and its unique molecular packing in the crystal identify potential interactive sites for glycosaminoglycans, integrins, and collagens, which are key to cartilage structure and function.-Tan, K., Duquette, M., Joachimiak, A., Lawler, J.

AB Methanococcus maripaludis is an anaerobic, methane-producing archaeon that utilizes H(2) or formate for the reduction of CO(2) to methane. Tryptophan auxotrophs were constructed by in vitro insertions of the Tn5 transposon into the tryptophan operon, followed by transformation into M. maripaludis. This method could serve for rapid insertions into large cloned DNA regions.

AB The By-Product Utilization Team at the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) of the US Department of Energy has conducted column leaching tests to characterize the release of various cations from coal utilization by-products (CUB). The release of metals from the nine samples of residues generated in three coal integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) installations was determined. Cations tended to be more soluble than from PC fly ash samples. Except for Hg, total cation solubility was due to the relatively high concentration in a few leachate samples. For several IGCC by-product samples generated from a mixture of coal and pet coke, the amount of As, Ni. and Zn extracted from the IGCC residues exceeded primary or secondary drinking water standards in the early leachate samples.

AB The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is sponsoring research and development (R&D) efforts emphasising fuel cell membrane materials that can operate at temperatures up to 120 degrees C with no inlet humidification and at total pressures of <2.5 atm. Several different strategies are being investigated and will be discussed. Recent results have demonstrated improved conductivity at lower relative humidity (RH) compared to standard perfluorosulphonic acid membranes. At 120 degrees C, conductivity approaching 0.1 S cm(-1) has been achieved at 50% RH, an improvement over Nafion 112 by more than a factor of three. Detailed results of DOE sponsored research will be discussed, as well as incorporation of membranes into membrane electrode assemblies. Finally, the impact of the different strategies on durability will be discussed.

ID HIGH-TEMPERATURE; IGNITION; TARGETS
AB The National Ignition Facility (NIF), a laser-based Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) experiment designed to achieve thermonuclear fusion ignition and burn in the laboratory, will soon be completed at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Experiments designed to accomplish the NIF's goal will commence in 2010, using laser energies of I to 1.3 MY Fusion yields of the order of 10 to 35 MJ are expected soon thereafter. We propose that a laser system capable of generating fusion yields of 35 to 75 MJ at 10 to 15 Hz (i.e., approximate to 350- to 1000-MW fusion and approximate to 1.3 to 3.6 x 10(20) n/s), coupled to a compact subcritical fission blanket, could be used to generate several GW of thermal power (GWth) while avoiding carbon dioxide emissions, mitigating nuclear proliferation concerns and minimizing the concerns associated with nuclear safety and long-term nuclear waste disposition. This Laser Inertial Fusion Energy (LIFE) based system is a logical extension of the NIF laser and the yields expected from the early ignition experiments on NIF. The LIFE concept is a once-through, self-contained closed fuel cycle and would have the following characteristics: (1) eliminate the need for uranium enrichment; (2) utilize over 90% of the energy content of the nuclear fuel; (3) eliminate the need for spent fuel chemical separation facilities; (4) maintain the fission blanket subcritical at all times (k(eff) <0.90); and (5) minimize future requirements for deep underground geological waste repositories and minimize actinide content in the end-of-life nuclear waste below the Department of Energy's (DOE's) attractiveness Level E (the lowest). Options to burn natural or depleted U, Th, U/Th mixtures, Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF) without chemical separations of weapons-attractive actinide streams, and excess weapons Pu or highly enriched U (HEU) are possible and under consideration. Because the fission blanket is always subcritical and decay heat removal is possible via passive mechanisms, the technology is inherently safe. Many technical challenges must be met, but a LIFE solution could provide a sustainable path for worldwide growth of nuclear power for electricity production and hydrogen generation.

AB We have developed preliminary conceptual laser system designs for the Laser ICF (Inertial Confinement Fusion) Fission Energy (LIFE) application. Our approach leverages experience in high-energy Nd:glass laser technology developed for the National Ignition Facility (NIF),(1) along with high-energy-class diode-pumped solid-state laser (HEC-DPSSL) technology developed,for the DOE's High Average Power Laser (HAPL) Program and embodied in LLNL's Mercury laser system.(2)
We present laser system designs suitable for both indirect-drive, hot spot ignition and indirect-drive, fast ignition targets. Main amplifiers for both systems use laser-diode-pumped Nd:glass slabs oriented at Brewster's angle, as in NIF but the slabs are much thinner to allow for cooling by high-velocity helium gas as in the Mercury laser system. We also describe a plan to mass-produce pump-diode lasers to bring diode costs down to the order of $0.01 per Watt of peak output power, as needed to make the LIFE application economically attractive.

AB The Laser Inertial confinement fusion - Fission Energy (LIFE) engine encompasses the components of a LIFE power plant responsible for converting the thermal energy of fusion and fission reactions into electricity. The design and integration of these components must satisfy a challenging set of requirements driven by nuclear, thermal, geometric, structural, and materials considerations. This paper details a self-consistent configuration for the LIFE engine along with the methods and technologies selected to meet these stringent requirements. Included is discussion of plant layout, coolant flow dynamics, fuel temperatures, expected structural stresses, power cycle efficiencies, and first wall survival threats. Further research to understand and resolve outstanding issues is also outlined.

AB Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is currently developing a hybrid fission nuclear fusion-energy system, called LIFE, to generate power and burn nuclear waste. We utilize inertial confinement fusion to drive a subcritical fission blanket surrounding the fusion chamber. It is composed of TRISO-based fuel cooled by the molten salt flibe. Low-yield (37.5 MJ) targets and a repetition rate of 13.3 Hz produce a 500 MW fusion source that is coupled to the subcritical blanket, which provides an additional gain of 4-8, depending on the fuel.
In the present work, we describe the neutron transport and nuclear burnup analysis. We utilize standard analysis tools including, the Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP) transport code, ORIGEN2 and Monteburns to perform the nuclear design. These analyses focus primarily on a fuel composed of depleted uranium not requiring chemical reprocessing or enrichment. However, other fuels such as weapons grade plutonium and highly-enriched uranium are also under consideration. In addition, we have developed a methodology using (6)Li as a burnable poison to replace the tritium burned in the fusion targets and to maintain constant power over the lifetime of the engine. The results from depleted uranium analyses suggest up to 99% burnup of actinides is attainable while maintaining full power at 2GW for more than five decades.

TI MOLTEN SALT FUEL VERSION OF LASER INERTIAL FUSION FISSION ENERGY (LIFE)

AB Molten salt with dissolved uranium is being considered for the Laser Inertial Confinement Fusion Fission Energy (LIFE) fission blanket as a backup in case a solid-fuel version cannot meet the performance objectives, for example because of radiation damage of the solid materials. Molten salt is not damaged by radiation and therefore could likely achieve the desired high burnup, (>99%) of heavy atoms of (238)U. A perceived disadvantage is the possibility that the circulating molten salt could lend itself to misuse (proliferation) by making separation of fissile material easier than for the solid-fuel case. The molten salt composition being considered is the eutectic mixture of 73 mol% LiF and 27 mol% UF(4), whose melting point is 490 degrees C. The use of (232)Th as a fuel is also being studied. ((232)Th does not produce Pu under neutron irradiation.) The temperature of the molten salt would be similar to 550 degrees C at the inlet (60 degrees C above the solidus temperature) and similar to 650 degrees C at the outlet. Mixtures of U and Th are being considered. To minimize corrosion of structural materials, the molten salt would also contain a small amount (similar to 1 mol%) of UF(3). The same beryllium neutron multiplier could be used as in the solid fuel case; alternatively, a liquid lithium or liquid lead multiplier could be used. Insuring that the solubility of Pu(3+) in the melt is not exceeded is a design criterion. To mitigate corrosion of the steel, a refractory coating such as tungsten similar to the first wall facing the fusion source is suggested in the high-neutron-flux regions, and in low-neutron-flux regions, including the piping and heat exchangers, a nickel alloy, Hastelloy, would be used. These material choices parallel those made for the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment (MSRE) at ORNL. The nuclear performance is better than the solid fuel case. At the beginning of life, the tritium breeding ratio is unity and the plutonium plus (233)U production rate is similar to 0.6 atoms per 14.1 MeV neutron.

AB A systems model has been developed for the Laser Inertial Fusion-Fission Energy (LIFE) power plant. It combines cost-performance scaling models for the major subsystems of the plant including the laser, inertial fusion target factory, engine (i.e., the chamber including the fission and tritium breeding blankets), energy conversion systems and balance of plant. The LIFE plant model is being used to evaluate design trade-offs and to identify high-leverage R&D. At this point, we are focused more on doing self consistent design trades and optimization as opposed to trying to predict a cost of electricity with a high degree of certainty. Key results show the advantage of large scale (>1000 MWe) plants and the importance Of minimizing the cost of diodes and balance of plant cost.

AB Evaluation of the prompt dose environment expected in the National Ignition Facility (NIF) during Deuterium-Deuterium (D-D) and Tritium-Hydrogen-Deuterium (THD) shots have been completed. D-D shots resulting in the production of an annual fusion yield of up to 2.4 kJ (200 shots with 10(13) neutrons per shot) are considered During the THD shot campaign, shots generating a total of 2x10(14) neutrons per shot are also planned. Monte Carlo simulations have been performed to estimate prompt dose values inside the facility as well as at different locations outside the facility shield walls. The Target Chamber shielding, along with Target Bay and Switchyard walls, roofs, and shield doors (when needed) will reduce dose levels in occupied areas to acceptable values during these shot campaigns. The calculated dose values inside occupied areas are small, estimated at 25 and 85 mu rem per shot during the D-D and THD shots, respectively. Dose values outside the facility are insignificant. The nearest building to the NIF facility where co-located workers may reside is at a distance of about 100 m from the Target Chamber Center (TCC). The dose in such a building is estimated at a fraction of a mu rem during a D-D or a THD shot. Dose at the nearest site boundary location (350 m from TCC), is caused by skyshine and to a lesser extent by direct radiation. The maximum off-site dose during any of the shots considered is less than 10 nano rem.

AB An extensive benchmark exercise has been conducted on ITER with the objective to test and validate different approaches for the use of CAD generated geometry data for Monte Carlo transport calculations with the MCNP code. The exercise encompassed the generation of a dedicated neutronics CATIA model based on available engineering CAD design data, the conversion into MCNP geometry, the verification of the converted models, and a number of calculations to compare the different approaches with regard to the performance and the validity of the results obtained. The paper briefly reviews the different approaches and provides a detailed description of the ITER benchmark effort, its results and conclusions showing that the approaches have reached the maturity level to allow their application to real ITER design analyses. This is considered an essential step forward for neutronics analysis tools to satisfy ITER quality assurance rules.

AB The new feature of the ATTILA 3-D code to calculate dose rates in a given geometty was benchmarked using the dose rate experiments performed at the FNG 14.1 Me V source facility located at ENEA, Frascati, Italy. Two experimental campaigns were performed. Post irradiation measurements were undertaken using Geiger-Muller, TLD, and tissue-equivalent scintillators. Other measurements were also performed during irradiation. ATTILA results were compared to the experimental data and to the results of the MCNP Monte Carlo code published earlier. The calculations were performed through three consecutive steps using the same ATTILA code along with its built-in activation library, FORNAX. The ANSI/ANS6.1.1-77 and ICRP74 Ka flux-to-dose conversion factors were used. Good agreement with the experimental data and the MCNP results was obtained for times >7 d after irradiation in the 1(st) campaign but large underestimation was found at shorter time steps. Both dose rates and integrated gamma fluxes are largely underestimated (similar to 20-40%) in the 2nd campaign.

AB Commissioning shots have commenced at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Within a year, the 192 laser beam facility will be operational and the experimental phase will begin. At each shot, the emitted neutrons will interact with the facility's surroundings, activating them, especially inside the target bay where the neutron flux is the highest. We are calculating the dose from those activated structures and objects in order to plan and minimize worker exposure during maintenance and normal NIF operation. This study presents the results of the activation analysis of the optics of the Final Optics Assemblies (FOA), which are a key contributor to worker exposure. There are 48 FOAs weighting three tons each, and routine change-out and maintenance of optics and optics modules is expected. We found that the effective dose from any optics is negligible 6 days after the last shot, and that the effective dose from frames is low but should be minimized not to reach the dose limit.

ID DESIGN
AB This paper gives an overview of the latest work on ITER accident analysis, describing the methodology and presenting some updated results. There are currently 25 ITER Reference Events, divided into two categories: incidents and accidents. Starting from the 2001 list of events, several new scenarios have been added, including fire events. Other former Reference Events have been updated and in some cases fully re-analyzed due to design modifications, such as changes in the confinement arrangements. The results demonstrate that the ITER General Safety Objectives are met and that the safety features of the ITER design are successful in minimizing the potential public and environmental consequences of off-normal events.

ID BLANKET CONCEPT
AB The U.S.-ITER DCLL (Dual Coolant Liquid Lead) TBM (Test Blanket Module) uses a Flow Channel Insert (FCI), to test the feasibility of high temperature DCLL concepts for future power reactors. The FCI serves a dual function of electrical insulation, to mitigate MHD effects, and thermal insulation to keep steel-PbLi interface temperatures below allowable limits. As a nonstructural component, the key performance requirements of the FCI structure are compatibility with PbLi, long-term radiation damage resistance, maintaining insulating properties over the lifetime, adequate insulation even in case of localized failures, and manufacturability. The main loads on the FCI are thermally induced due to through the thickness temperature gradients and due to non-uniform PbLi temperatures along the flow channel (similar to 1.6 m). A number of SiC-based materials are being developed for FCI applications, including SiC/SiC composites and porous SiC bonded between CVD SiC face sheets. Here, we report on an FCI design based on open-cell SiC-foam material. Thermo-mechanical analysis of this FCI concept indicate that a SiC-foam FCI structure is capable of withstanding anticipated primary and secondary stresses during operation in an ITER TBM environment. A complete 30 cm long prototypical segment of the FCI structure was designed and is being fabricated, demonstrating the SiC-foam based FCI structure to be very low-cost and viability candidate for an ITER TBM FCI structure.

AB A new computational model for fusion power plant system studies is being developed for the ARIES program. An operational design space has been created to explore the most influential parameters in the physical, technological and economic trade space related to the developmental transition from experimental facilities to viable commercial power plants. This allows examination of a multi-dimensional trade space as opposed to traditional sensitivity analyses about a baseline design point. The influence of multifunctional, highly dependent parameters can easily be visualized, which may highlight one or a few difficult-to-achieve parameters that would yield a highly acceptable design solution. The new ARIES systems code consists of adaptable physics, engineering and costing modules which capture the current tokamak knowledge database and reflect both near-term as well as advanced technology solutions that are higher risk but have higher performance potential. To fully assess the impact of the range of physics and engineering implementations, the plant cost accounts have been revised to reflect a more functional cost structure. All of these features have been validated against the highly respected ARIES-AT baseline. The present results demonstrate novel visualization techniques for trade space assessment of attractive tokamaks for commercial use.

AB The fusion environment is inherently complex, in which an adequate understanding of response from a plasma chamber system requires integrated (and in some areas coupled) analysis across multiple disciplines (neutronics, thermo-fluids, structural mechanics, electromagnetism etc). An integrated simulation predictive capability, which utilizes a computer based single CAD geometric model where a detailed simulation of the multi-physics phenomena occurring in a fusion plasma chamber system is performed, is under development and is described in this paper.

AB The use of a fusion component testing facility to study and establish, during the ITER era, the remaining scientific and technical knowledge needed by fusion Demo is considered and described in this paper. This use aims to lest components in an integrated fusion nuclear environment, for the first time, to discover and understand the underpinning physical properties, and to develop improved components for further testing, in a time-efficient manner. It requires a design with extensive modularization and remote handling of activated components, and flexible hot-cell laboratories. It further requires reliable plasma conditions to avoid disruptions and minimize their impact, and designs to reduce the divertor heat flux to the level of ITER design. As the plasma duration is extended through the planned ITER level (similar to 10(3) s) and beyond, physical properties with increasing time constants, progressively for similar to 10(4) s, similar to 10(5) s, and similar to 10(6) s, would become accessible for testing and R&D. The longest time constants of these are likely to be of the order of a week ( 106 S). Progressive stages of research operation are envisioned in deuterium, deuterium-tritium for the ITER duration, and deuterium-tritium with increasingly longer plasma durations. The fusion neutron fluence and operational duty factor anticipated for this "scientific exploration" phase of a component test facility are estimated to be up to 1 MW-yr/m(2) and up to 10%, respectively.

AB Limitations in operating conditions, primarily the steady-state operating temperature, of silicon carbide-based ceramics and composites for applications to structural and functional components in fusion blanket systems were critically examined based on the latest experimental results. Irradiation-induced high temperature swelling and irradiation creep were identified to be the likely factors limiting the upper temperature bound for structural applications, whereas irradiation-induced thermal conductivity degradation was identified to be the primary factor to limit the lower temperature bound when substantial heat flux is anticipated For the application to flow channel inserts in liquid metal blankets, insulating properties will likely limit the tippet, temperature bound, whereas the lower temperature bound may be limited by swelling-induced secondary stress. Additionally, key scientific issues which need to be addressed for the better definition of design limitations were identified

AB Dielectric mirrors have been considered for both magnetic and inertial confinement systems. Such mirrors are comprised of multiple thin bi-layers of high and low refractive index materials deposited onto a substrate. Three dielectric mirror types were fabricated to reflect at the KrF laser wavelength of 248 nm and these mirrors irradiated at similar to 175 degrees C in the dose range of 0.001 to 0.1 x 10(25) n/m(2) (E>0.1 MeV.) Mirror reflectivity was measured on as-irradiated and on 300 and 400 degrees C vacuum annealed mirrors. The best performing mirror overall, the alumina/silica multilayer mirror, did not appear to have degraded reflectivity in the as-irradiated or the as-irradiated and annealed conditions. For the highest dose, annealed condition degradation was observed in the hafnia silica mirror. Additionally, laser induced damage threshold was measured on the best performing mirror (the alumina/silica mirror) with a resulting threshold of >1 J/cm(2), For this mirror, the damage threshold was not discernibly degraded by neutron irradiation. These findings are somewhat in contradiction to earlier work, which suggested poor performance of dielectric mirrors at an order of magnitude lower neutron dose. In conclusion, the current findings, while preliminary, suggest the possibility for using dielectric mirrors to much higher dose levels.

AB The evolution of vertebrates has included a number of important events: the development of cartilage, the immune system, and complicated craniofacial structures. Here, we examine domain shuffling as one of the mechanisms that contributes novel genetic material required for vertebrate evolution. We mapped domain-shuffling events during the evolution of deuterostomes with a focus on how domain shuffling contributed to the evolution of vertebrate- and chordate-specific characteristics. We identified; 1000 new domain pairs in the vertebrate lineage, including similar to 100 that were shared by all seven of the vertebrate species examined. Some of these pairs occur in the protein components of vertebrate- specific structures, such as cartilage and the inner ear, suggesting that domain shuffling made a marked contribution to the evolution of vertebrate- specific characteristics. The evolutionary history of the domain pairs is traceable; for example, the Xlink domain of aggrecan, one of the major components of cartilage, was originally utilized as a functional domain of a surface molecule of blood cells in protochordate ancestors, and it was recruited by the protein of the matrix component of cartilage in the vertebrate ancestor. We also identified genes that were created as a result of domain shuffling in ancestral chordates. Some of these are involved in the functions of chordate structures, such as the endostyle, Reissner's fiber of the neural tube, and the notochord. Our analyses shed new light on the role of domain shuffling, especially in the evolution of vertebrates and chordates.

AB In this study, we use extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy measurements to examine the atomic environment of Cd bound onto two experimental bacterial consortia: one grown from river water, and one grown from a manufacturing gas plant site. The experiments were conducted as a function of pH and demonstrate that the complex mixtures of bacteria, containing both Gram-positive and Gram-negative species, yield relatively simple EXAFS spectra, a result which indicates that only a limited number of functional group types contribute to Cd binding for each bacterial consortium. The EXAFS spectra indicate that the average Cd binding environment in the river water consortium varies significantly with pH, but the manufacturing gas plant consortium exhibits a Cd binding environment that remains relatively constant over the pH range examined. The EXAFS data for the river water consortium were modeled using carboxyl, phosphoryl and sulfhydryl sites. However, only carboxyl and phosphoryl sites were required to model the manufacturing gas plant consortium data under similar experimental conditions. This is the first EXAFS study to identify and quantify the relative importance of metal binding sites in bacterial consortia. Although our results indicate differences in the binding environments of the two consortia, the data suggest that there are broad similarities in the binding environments present on a wide range of bacterial cell walls.

AB Oxygen isotopes were measured in four chondritic hydrated interplanetary dust particles (IDPs) and five chondritic anhydrous IDPs including two GEMS-rich particles (Glass embedded with metal and sulfides) by a combination of high precision and high lateral resolution ion microprobe techniques.
All IDPs have isotopic compositions tightly clustered around that of solar system planetary materials. Hydrated IDPs have mass-fractionated oxygen isotopic compositions similar to those of CI and CM carbonaceous chondrites, consistent with hydration of initially anhydrous protosolar dust. Anhydrous IDPs have small O-16 excesses and depletions similar to those ;of carbonaceous chondrites, the largest O-16 variations being hosted by the two GEMS-rich IDPs. Coarse-grained forsteritic olivine and enstatite in anhydrous IDPs are isotopically similar to their counterparts in comet Wild 2 and in chondrules suggesting a high temperature inner solar system origin. The small variations in the O-16 content of GEMS-rich IDPs suggest that most GEMS either do not preserve a record of interstellar processes or the initial interstellar dust is not O-16-rich as expected by self-shielding models, although a larger dataset is required to verify these conclusions.
Together with other chemical and mineralogical indicators, O isotopes show that the parent-bodies of carbonaceous chondrites, of chondritic IDPs, of most Antarctic micrometeorites, and comet Wild 2 belong to a single family of objects of carbonaceous chondrite chemical affinity as distinct from ordinary, enstatite, K- and R-chondrites. Comparison with astronomical observations thus suggests a chemical continuum of objects including main belt and outer solar system asteroids such as C-type, P-type and D-type asteroids, Trojans and Centaurs as well as short-period comets and other Kuiper Belt Objects.

AB The origins of increased stream flow and spring discharge following earthquakes have been the subject of controversy, in large part because there are many models to explain observations and few measurements suitable for distinguishing between hypotheses. On October 30, 2007 a magnitude 5.5 earthquake occurred near the Alum Rock springs, California, USA. Within a day we documented a several-fold increase in discharge. Over the following year, we have monitored a gradual return towards pre-earthquake properties, but for the largest springs there appears to be a permanent increase in discharge. The Alum Rock springs discharge waters that are a mixture between modern (shallow) meteoric water and old (deep) connate waters expelled by regional transpression. After the earthquake, there was a small and temporary decrease in the fraction of connate water in the largest springs. Accompanying this geochemical change was a small (1-2 degrees C) temperature decrease. Combined with the rapid response, this implies that the increased discharge has a shallow origin. Increased discharge at these springs occurs both for earthquakes that cause static volumetric expansion and for those that cause contraction, supporting models in which dynamic strains are responsible for the subsurface changes that cause flow to increase. We make a quantitative comparison between the observed changes and model predictions for three types of models: (i) a permanent increase in permeability; (ii) an increase in permeability followed by a gradual decrease to its pre-earthquake value; and (iii) an increase of hydraulic head in the groundwater system discharging at the springs. We show that models in which the permeability of the fracture system feeding the springs increases after the earthquake are in general consistent with the changes in discharge. The postseismic decrease in discharge could either reflect the groundwater system adjusting to the new, higher permeability or a gradual return of permeability to pre-earthquake values; the available data do not allow us to distinguish between these two scenarios. However, the response of these springs to another earthquake will provide critical constraints on the changes that occur in the subsurface and should permit a test of all three types of models.

ID LAKE-SEDIMENTS; UNITED-STATES; MICHIGAN; VARIABILITY; INSOLATION;
SYSTEM; CYCLE; EVENT; LEVEL; USA
AB Annually laminated (varved) Holocene sediments from Derby Lake, Michigan, display variations in endogenic calcite abundance reflecting a long-term (millennial-scale) decrease in burial punctuated with frequent short-term (decadal-scale) oscillations due to carbonate dissolution. Since 6000 cal yr B. P., sediment carbonate abundance has followed a decreasing trend while organic-carbon abundance has increased. The correlation between organic-carbon abundance and the sum of March-April-October-November insolation has an r(2) value of 0.58. We interpret these trends to represent a precession-driven lengthening of the Holocene growing season that has reduced calcite burial by enhancing net annual organic-matter production and associated calcite dissolution. Correlations with regional paleoclimate records suggest that changes in temperature and moisture balance have impacted the distribution of short-term oscillations in carbonate and organic-matter abundance superimposed on the precession-driven trends.

AB Alterations in forest productivity and changes in the relative proportion of above- and belowground biomass may have nonlinear effects on soil organic matter (SOM) storage. To study the influence of plant litter inputs on SOM accumulation, the Detritus Input Removal and Transfer (DIRT) Experiment continuously alters above- and belowground plant inputs to soil by a combination of trenching, screening, and litter addition. Here, we used biogeochemical indicators [i.e., cupric oxide extractable lignin-derived phenols and suberin/cutin-derived substituted fatty acids (SFA)] to identify the dominant sources of plant biopolymers in SOM and various measures [i.e., soil density fractionation, laboratory incubation, and radiocarbon-based mean residence time (MRT)] to assess the stability of SOM in two contrasting forests within the DIRT Experiment: an aggrading deciduous forest and an old-growth coniferous forest. In the deciduous forest, removal of both above- and belowground inputs increased the total amount of SFA over threefold compared with the control, and shifted the SFA signature towards a root-dominated source. Concurrently, light fraction MRT increased by 101 years and C mineralization during incubation decreased compared with the control. Together, these data suggest that root-derived aliphatic compounds are a source of SOM with greater relative stability than leaf inputs at this site. In the coniferous forest, roots were an important source of soil lignin-derived phenols but needle-derived, rather than root-derived, aliphatic compounds were preferentially preserved in soil. Fresh wood additions elevated the amount of soil C recovered as light fraction material but also elevated mineralization during incubation compared with other DIRT treatments, suggesting that not all of the added soil C is directly stabilized. Aboveground needle litter additions, which are more N-rich than wood debris, resulted in accelerated mineralization of previously stored soil carbon. In summary, our work demonstrates that the dominant plant sources of SOM differed substantially between forest types. Furthermore, inputs to and losses from soil C pools likely will not be altered uniformly by changes in litter input rates.

AB Soil is the largest reservoir of organic carbon (C) in the terrestrial biosphere and soil C has a relatively long mean residence time. Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO(2)) concentrations generally increase plant growth and C input to soil, suggesting that soil might help mitigate atmospheric CO(2) rise and global warming. But to what extent mitigation will occur is unclear. The large size of the soil C pool not only makes it a potential buffer against rising atmospheric CO(2), but also makes it difficult to measure changes amid the existing background. Meta-analysis is one tool that can overcome the limited power of single studies. Four recent meta-analyses addressed this issue but reached somewhat different conclusions about the effect of elevated CO(2) on soil C accumulation, especially regarding the role of nitrogen (N) inputs. Here, we assess the extent of differences between these conclusions and propose a new analysis of the data. The four meta-analyses included different studies, derived different effect size estimates from common studies, used different weighting functions and metrics of effect size, and used different approaches to address nonindependence of effect sizes. Although all factors influenced the mean effect size estimates and subsequent inferences, the approach to independence had the largest influence. We recommend that meta-analysts critically assess and report choices about effect size metrics and weighting functions, and criteria for study selection and independence. Such decisions need to be justified carefully because they affect the basis for inference. Our new analysis, with a combined data set, confirms that the effect of elevated CO(2) on net soil C accumulation increases with the addition of N fertilizers. Although the effect at low N inputs was not significant, statistical power to detect biogeochemically important effect sizes at low N is limited, even with meta-analysis, suggesting the continued need for long-term experiments.

AB With the increased threat of terrorist release of radioactive materials, there is a need for non-toxic decorporation agents to treat internal contamination with radionuclides. In this study, low molecular weight chitosan was evaluated for decorporation of radioactive cobalt (Co-60). The affinity of chitosan for Co(II) was tested in vitro using spectrophotometric and potentiometric titration techniques. For in vivo studies, the effect of chitosan on ingested Co-60 was evaluated using F344 rats administered a single dose followed by oral chitosan. Chitosan was also evaluated for systemic decorporation of Co-60 following intravenous injection with repeated chitosan administration over 5 d. Control animals received Co-60 without chelation treatment. Excreta and tissues were collected for analysis using gamma-counting techniques. Results from in vitro experiments confirmed the binding of Co(II) to chitosan, with the postulated formation of a mixed cobalt-chitosan-hydroxide complex species; a stability constant was calculated for this complex. For in vivo studies, oral administration of chitosan significantly reduced systemic absorption of orally administered Co-60 as evidenced by an increase in fecal elimination and decrease in urinary elimination. However, oral administration of chitosan lactate slightly decreased fecal excretion of Co-60. Further, oral administration of chitosan significantly reduced Co-60 levels in kidney, liver, and skeleton compared to control animals receiving Co-60 alone. By the IV route, chitosan slightly reduced levels of Co-60 in tissues compared to controls, although statistically significant reductions were only observed for blood and kidney. Overall, this commercially available chitosan oligosaccharide exhibited promising potential; further studies are warranted to evaluate the optimal dosing regimen and chemical modifications to increase effectiveness.

Specialized software tools used by CBRNe responders can increase information available and the speed and accuracy of the response, thereby ensuring that radiation doses to responders, receivers, and the general public are kept as low as reasonably achievable. Software designed to provide health care providers with assistance in selecting appropriate countermeasures or therapeutic interventions in a timely fashion can improve the potential for positive patient outcome.

Department of Energy revised the radiation weighting factors, tissue weighting factors and most of the dosimetric terms used in Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations Part 835 to reflect the recommendations for assessing dose and associated terminology front ICRP Publication 60, 1990 Recommendations of the ICRP on Radiological Protection. In support of the amendment, Department of Energy is revising its guidance documents on establishing bioassay result goals, which are used in assessing bioassay capabilities and establishing bioassay frequencies. The revised guidance is based on the updated dosimetric models and provides a useful tool for evaluating aspects of a bioassay program which may need revision.

AB Ongoing uncertainties have existed regarding possible effects at low photon energies of two copper filters covering Element 1 of the Harshaw Type-8814 thermoluminescent dosimeter badge casing. To address these, Brookhaven National Laboratory's (BNL) Personnel Monitoring Group conducted a test in which Type-8814 badges with one copper filter covering Element I were irradiated at several low-energy levels side-by-side with the same number of badges with two copper filters covering Element 1. A review of exposures to personnel at Brookhaven Laboratory to possible low-energy photon flux was also conducted. From both the test and the review of exposures, it can be concluded that, for radiological work under the conditions at BNL, there is no apparent dosimetric difference if one or two copper filters cover Element 1 of the Type-8814 badge.

AB Objective: An experiment was conducted to compare the effectiveness of individual versus group electronic brainstorming to address difficult, real-world challenges. Background: Although industrial reliance on electronic communications has become ubiquitous, empirical and theoretical understanding of the bounds of its effectiveness have been limited. Previous research using short-term laboratory experiments have engaged small groups of students in answering questions irrelevant to an industrial setting. The present experiment extends current findings beyond the laboratory to larger groups of real-world employees addressing organization-relevant challenges during the course of 4 days. Methods: Employees and contractors at a national laboratory participated, either in a group setting or individually, in an electronic brainstorm to pose solutions to a real-world problem. Results: The data demonstrate that (for this design) individuals perform at least as well as groups in producing quantity of electronic ideas, regardless of brainstorming duration. However, when judged with respect to quality along three dimensions (originality, feasibility, and effectiveness), the individuals significantly (p < .05) outperformed the group. Conclusion: When quality is used to benchmark success, these data indicate that work-relevant challenges are better solved by aggregating electronic individual responses rather than by electronically convening a group. Application: This research suggests that industrial reliance on electronic problem-solving groups should be tempered, and large nominal groups may be more appropriate corporate problem-solving vehicles.

AB We describe a family of instanton-based optimization methods developed recently for the analysis of the error floors of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. Instantons are the most probable configurations of the channel noise which result in decoding failures. We show that the general idea and the respective optimization technique are applicable broadly to a variety of channels, discrete or continuous, and variety of sub-optimal decoders. Specifically, we consider: iterative belief propagation (BP) decoders, Gallager type decoders, and linear programming (LP) decoders performing over the additive white Gaussian noise channel (AWGNC) and the binary symmetric channel (BSC).
The instanton analysis suggests that the underlying topological structures of the most probable instanton of the same code but different channels and decoders are related to each other. Armed with this understanding of the graphical structure of the instanton and its relation to the decoding failures, we suggest a method to construct codes whose Tanner graphs are free of these structures, and thus have less significant error floors.

AB This paper describes a fiber Bragg grating strain sensor interrogation system based on a microelectromechanical systems tunable Fabry-Perot filter. The shift in the Bragg wavelength due to strain applied to a sensor fiber is detected by means of a correlation algorithm which was implemented on an embedded digital signal processor. The instrument has a 70 nm tuning range, allowing multiple strain sensors to be multiplexed on the same fiber. The performance of the interrogator was characterized using an optical fiber containing six grating strain sensors embedded in a fiberglass test specimen. The measured root mean square (RMS) strain error was 1.5 microstrain, corresponding to a 1.2 pm RMS error in the estimated wavelength shift. Strain measurements are produced with an update rate of 39 samples/s.

AB A versatile experimental facility was designed and set up to measure transport ac losses, magnetization ac losses, and total ac losses in high-temperature superconductors at variable temperatures. Several sets of measurements were carried out in the temperature range of 35 K to 100 K. Sample temperature during the measurements could be controlled within +/- 0.5 K of set temperature. Temperature dependence of transport losses reflects variation of critical current density of the tapes with temperature. Temperature dependence of magnetization losses exhibits an interesting behavior with a peak, whose position shifts to lower temperatures as the magnetic field is increased. Experimental data of ac losses at various temperatures are compared with those calculated using numerical methods. Generally, the simulated results reproduce well the experimental data.

AB Corona-stabilised plasma closing switches, filled with electronegative gases such as SF(6) and air, have been used in pulsed-power applications as repetitive switching devices for the last 10 years. Their high repetition-rate capabilities coupled with their relatively simple design and construction have made them suitable alternatives to thyratrons and semi-conductor switches. As well as having repetitive switching capabilities, corona-stabilised plasma closing switches have the potential to operate at elevated voltages through the incorporation of multiple electrode sets. This allows high-voltage operation with inherent voltage grading between the electrodes. A further feature of such switches is that they can have relatively low jitter under triggered condition. This paper reports on some of the operational features of a new design of corona-stabilised, cascade switch that utilises air as the insulating gas. At pressures between 0 and 1 bar gauge the switch has be shown to operate over the voltage range of 40 to 100 kV with a jitter below 2 ns.

system switches; Hybrid integrated circuits; flip-chip devices
AB The ultra-fast switching of power MOSFETs, in about 1 ns, is very challenging. This is largely due to the parasitic inductance that is intrinsic to commercial packages used for both MOSFETs and drivers. Parasitic gate and source inductance not only limit the voltage rise time on the MOSFET internal gate structure but can also cause the gate voltage to oscillate. This paper describes a hybrid approach that substantially reduces the parasitic inductance between the driver and MOSFET gate, as well as between the MOSFET source and its external connection. A flip-chip assembly is used to directly attach a die-form power MOSFET and driver on a PCB. The parasitic inductances are significantly reduced by eliminating bond wires and minimizing lead length. The experimental results demonstrate ultra-fast switching of the power MOSFET with excellent control of the gate-source voltage.

AB Light-activated pseudospark switches, also called back-lighted thyratrons (BLTs), are low pressure, high voltage (typ. 10-50 kV), high current (typ. 1-100 kA) glow-mode switches. It is of interest to develop BLTs with reliable and practical optical triggering systems for applications of compact pulsed power. This paper reports the results of research into photocathode materials for BLTs to enhance switching performance and provide optimal cathode conditions for optical triggering. Effective photocathode materials have many specific qualities, the most important being low work function, high quantum yield, and long lifetime at typical BLT operation pressures of 1.3-133 Pa (0.01-1 Torr). Photoemission measurements were conducted with 266 nm, 5 ns laser pulses in a pressure range from 4 x 10(-5) - 13.3 Pa (3-10(-7) to 0.1 Torr) using helium as the background gas. Quantum efficiencies up to 1.5 x 10(-5), 1.4 x 10(-5), and 1.2 x 10(-5), were measured for magnesium, copper, and molybdenum samples, respectively. An increase in gas pressure 4 x 10(-5) - 13.3 Pa (3 x 10(-7) to 0.1 Torr) corresponded to an increase in quantum efficiency (QE) of 13% for magnesium and copper; the same increase in pressure corresponded to a quantum efficiency decrease of 10% for molybdenum. Square root of quantum efficiency shows a linear dependence on the square root of the sample surface's electric field due to the Schottky effect. 2D electrostatic simulation of the electric field distribution in a typical compact BLT shows that the field strengths are up to hundreds of kV/cm near the surfaces of the electrodes when a voltage potential of 30 kV is applied between the electrodes. This indicates that higher photoelectron yields can be expected when the tested photocathodes are implemented into BLTs.

AB The applied electrical fields required to initiate surface flashover of different types of dielectric material immersed in insulating oil have been investigated, by applying impulses of increasing peak voltage until surface flashover occurred. The behavior of the materials in repeatedly over-volted gaps was also analyzed in terms of breakdown mode (some bulk sample breakdown behaviour was witnessed in this regime), time to breakdown, and breakdown voltage. Cylindrical samples of polypropylene, low-density polyethylene, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, and Rexolite, were held between two electrodes immersed in insulating oil, and subjected to average applied electrical fields up to 870 kV/cm. Tests were performed in both uniform- and non-uniform-fields, and with different sample topologies. In applied field measurements, polypropylene required the highest levels of average applied field to initiate flashover in all electrode configurations tested, settling at similar to 600 kV/cm in uniform fields, and similar to 325 kV/cm in non-uniform fields. In over-volted point-plane gaps, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene exhibited the longest pre-breakdown delay times. The results will provide comparative data for system designers for the appropriate choice of dielectric materials to act as insulators for high-voltage, pulsed-power machines.

The ionospheric-wave simulation is based on a recently developed full-wave model that treats the lower portion of the ionosphere as a magnetized, anisotropic, collisional, and cold-electron medium. In this paper, only the first-hop ionosphere reflection is presented, although higher order reflections can be readily implemented by the model. For the purpose of demonstration, the modeled results are compared to actual observations of negative cloud-to-ground strokes at various distances for day and nighttime. The model itself, however, can be used for any type of lightning discharge event, including the incloud events that occur above the ground. This model, together with multistation Los Alamos Sferic Array measurements of lightning discharges, might provide an alternate means for monitoring the temporal and spatial variations of the lower portion of the ionosphere.

AB We present a model-based approach for evaluating the potential of innovations occurring in various stages of the industry value chain. The realization of the innovation's potential is conceptualized as the ability of the de novo firm to achieve the maximum possible efficiency in translating inputs into cost-reducing output. We apply recent developments from data envelopment analysis to measure the innovation's potential in terms of its relative efficiency with respect to a best practices frontier. We then present a conceptual framework to classify and identify the determinants related to technological and organizational variables in realizing the potential of innovations. Finally, we demonstrate the application of this model-based approach to conduct analysis of the potential of innovations in the U.S. photovoltaic and related systems manufacturing industry.

AB This paper presents the various configurations of a multilevel modular capacitor-clamped converter (MMCCC), and it reveals many useful and new formations of the original MMCCC for transferring power in either an isolated or nonisolated manner. The various features of the original MMCCC circuit are best suited for a multibus system in future plug-in hybrid or fuel-cell-powered vehicles' drive train. The original MMCCC is capable of bidirectional power transfer using multilevel modular structure with capacitor-clamped topology. It has a nonisolated structure, and it offers very high efficiency even at partial loads. This circuit was modified to integrate single or multiple high-frequency transformers by using the intermediate voltage nodes of the converter. On the other hand, a special formation of the MMCCC can exhibit dc outputs offering limited isolation without using any isolation transformer. This modified version can produce a high conversion ratio from a limited number of components and has several useful applications in providing power to multiple low-voltage loads in a hybrid or electric automobile. This paper will investigate the origin of generating ac outputs from the MMCCC and shows how the transformer-free version can be modified to create limited isolation from the circuit. In addition, this paper will compare various modified forms of the MMCCC topology with existing dc-dc converter circuits from compactness and component utilization perspectives.

AB To better our knowledge of the characteristics of semi-insulated cadmium telluride (CdTe) doped with indium (In), we explored the role of deep levels in compensation and trapping. We assessed the defects and their distribution across a wafer in several ways; by measuring dark resistivity and photosensitivity maps, photoluminescence, Photo-Induced Current Transient Spectroscopy (PICTS), and Thermoelectric Effect Spectroscopy (TEES). We determined that electron trapping to a near midgap level in CdTe: In begins when the Fermi-level lies above this level. We demonstrated first that a small movement (approximate to 1 divided by 2 kT) of the Fermi-level downward significantly increases electron trapping. PICTS and TEES measurements confirmed the presence of a positively charge electron trap at E(C)-0.065 eV (+/-0.05 eV) with a high capture cross-section. This level transforms into a neutral one when the Fermi-level moves above it. Photoluminescence measurements detected this energy level that, when positively charged, was responsible for a 0.68-eV emission, while in a neutral state, it was accountable for an emission peak located at 0.87 eV. We discuss the nature of the deep donors, considering the latest "ab initio" calculations: also, the Te anti-site is compared to complex defects, such as H-O(Cd).

AB We studied theoretically chemical self-diffusion and the diffusion of extrinsic atoms in CdTe. We compiled a general model describing the multi-species diffusion of arbitrary amounts of elements in a form optimized for numerical calculations and applied it to a model system of CdTe doped with slow- or fast-diffusing elements. The diffusion of slowly diffusing atoms was analyzed and compared with experimental findings. We uncovered possible drawbacks in the experimental data that might affect the ensuing analysis by researchers, so generating incorrect conclusions. We suggest a method of purifying CdTe from fast-diffusing impurities based on a proper annealing/etching process.

DE CdZnTe; crystal defects; radiation detectors
ID SEMICONDUCTOR COMPOUND-CRYSTALS; GROWTH
AB Large-volume CdZnTe (CZT) single crystals with electron lifetime exceeding 10 mu s have recently become commercially available. This opened the opportunity for making room temperature CZT gamma-ray detectors with extended thicknesses and larger effective areas. However, the extended defects that are present even in the highest-quality material remain a major drawback which affects the availability and cost of large CZT detectors. In contrast to the point defects that control electron lifetime and whose effects on the charge collection can be electronically corrected, the extended defects introduce significant fluctuations in the collected charge, which increase with a crystal's thickness. The extended defects limit the uniformity in the electrons' drift distance in CZT crystals, above which electron trapping cannot effectively be corrected. In this paper, we illustrate the roles of the extended defects in CZT detectors with different geometries. We emphasize that the crystallinity of commercial CZT materials remains a major obstacle on the path to developing thick, large-volume CZT detectors for gamma-ray imaging and spectroscopy.

AB We measured, in the 873-1173 K temperature range, the temperature- and Cd vapor-pressure-dependences of the free electron density in single CdTe < In > crystals with different In contents. Increasing the cooling rate of the crystals and/or decreasing the well-defined Cd vapor pressure reduced the free-electron density. We interpreted and modelled these phenomena and the crystal's high-temperature electrical properties within the framework of Kroger's point-defect theory. Our experiments demonstrated the possibility of controlling the free-electron density in CdTe < In > crystals by changing the cooling rate. We supplemented a point-defect structural study of CZT < In > crystals by low-temperature (80-420 K) electrical measurements. These findings allowed us to identify the nature of the point defects responsible for free-carrier scattering, which is an important parameter influencing the mu tau-product value in detector-grade material.

AB CERN RD39 Collaboration develops radiation-hard cryogenic silicon detectors. Recently, we have demonstrated improved radiation hardness in novel Current Injected Detectors (CID). For detector characterization, we have applied cryogenic Transient Current Technique (C-TCT). In beam tests, heavily irradiated CID detector showed capability for particle detection. Our results show that the CID detectors are operational at the temperature -50 degrees C after the fluence of 1 x 10(16) MeV neutron equivalent/cm(2).

AB Proton-induced single-event effects hardness assurance guidelines are developed to address issues raised by recent test results in advanced IC technologies for use in space environments. Specifically, guidelines are developed that address the effects of proton energy and angle of incidence on single-event latchup and the effects of total dose on single-event upset. The guidelines address both single-event upset (SEU), single-event latchup (SEL), and combined SEU and total ionizing dose (TID) effects.

ID SOLAR MINIMUM
AB Data assimilation techniques have already been developed and have shown to provide "the best" estimate of the state of the electron radiation belts. Data assimilation proceeds in analysis cycles-in each analysis cycle, observations of the current (and possibly past) state of a system are combined with the results from a mathematical model (the forecast) to produce an analysis, which is considered as the best estimate of the current state of the system. In this paper, such an analysis has been performed from January 1990 to December 2006 and has produced full electron radiation belt state every 20 min. Then, based on this 17 year run, a new outer electron belt specification model is developed: we perform a data synthesis to deduce a yearly average electron belt state over a full solar cycle. Lastly, this new specification model for the Earth's radiation belt is compared to existing specification models.

TI A First Application of the FRAM Isotopic Analysis Code to
High-Resolution Microcalorimetry Gamma-Ray Spectra
SO IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON NUCLEAR SCIENCE

DE Gamma rays; gamma-ray spectroscopy; microcalorimetry; plutonium
ID ARRAYS
AB Gamma-ray spectrometry systems based on High-Purity Germanium (HPGe) have been the long-standing leader in terms of resolution since their introduction many years ago. The application of this technology to the spectroscopic assay of special nuclear material led to the development of several isotopic analysis tools, including the advanced software package FRAM, which was, and continues to be, developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Although FRAM can be applied over a wide range of energies, the significantly higher intensity of the x-ray region in the neighborhood of 100 keV makes analysis of this area of the spectrum advantageous, especially in the case of plutonium. However, even with HPGe, the multitude of gamma-ray and x-ray peaks that exist in the 100-keV region are sufficiently convoluted so as to preclude determination of plutonium isotopic composition without the introduction of some error. The novel technology of cryogenic microcalorimeter detectors, shown to have an order of magnitude better spectral resolution than HPGe, has recently opened new doors with respect to these difficulties. Now, for the first time, the powerful capabilities of FRAM have been paired with the unparalleled resolution of microcalorimetry in the analysis of plutonium spectra. Preliminary results of these analyses, as well as an outlook for future measurements, heretofore unobtainable with HPGe, will be presented.

AB GEANT4 is a versatile Monte Carlo code for simulating the interactions of radiation with matter. GEANT4 has proven to be an effective toolkit for the simulation of a wide variety of detectors. We are interested in the application of GEANT4 to a new type of sensor technology being developed for X-ray and gamma-ray measurements. Microcalorimeter detectors based on transition-edge sensors coupled to bulk absorbers are an emerging technology for hard X-ray and soft gamma-ray measurements with unprecedented energy resolution. In this work, we assess the ability of the GEANT4 electromagnetic physics package to reproduce measured microcalorimeter data. We also use the simulations to explore the design space of absorber materials and cryostat design.

AB We discuss recent developments in using cryogenic microcalorimeter detectors for x- and gamma-ray spectroscopy. We are currently operating a detector array consisting of thirteen pixels with time-domain multiplexed readout. With a single pixel from this detector, we have measured 97.43-keV gamma rays from 153-Gd with 22-eV resolution (FWHM). We have also made the first multiplexed array measurements of plutonium x-and gamma-rays with 45-eV resolution. We are currently testing a 66-pixel next-generation detector chip. Preliminary measurements with the new detector indicate improved energy linearity and single-pixel energy resolution of 50-100 eV at 100 keV. We present preliminary calibration data from this chip, and a high-statistics multiplexed 21-pixel spectrum of the Pu x-ray region between 90 and 130 keV.

AB We present a model to describe the origin of non-proportional dependence of scintillator light yield on the energy of an ionizing particle. The non-proportionality is discussed in terms of energy relaxation channels and their linear and non-linear dependences on the deposited energy. In this approach, the scintillation response is described as a function of the deposited energy deposition and the kinetic rates of each relaxation channel. This mathematical framework allows both a qualitative interpretation and a quantitative fitting representation of scintillation non-proportionality response as function of kinetic rates. This method was successfully applied to thallium doped sodium iodide measured with SLYNCI, a new facility using the Compton coincidence technique. Finally, attention is given to the physical meaning of the dominant relaxation channels, and to the potential causes responsible for the scintillation non-proportionality. We find that thallium doped sodium iodide behaves as if non-proportionality is due to competition between radiative recombinations and non-radiative Auger processes.

AB We describe the architecture of a FPGA-based self-calibrating Time to Digital Converter (TDC), specifically intended to measure the width of an input pulse. The configuration consists of two controllable ring oscillators with a very small difference in their frequencies, wherein this difference determines the achievable resolution. The calibration scheme relies on an accurate pulse-generator or external crystal-oscillator to provide a stable calibration pulse for the system. We implemented the TDC on an Altera Stratix II device where we measured a Least Significant Bit of 41 ps (an RMS resolution of 11.8 ps). We present details of the methods used to calibrate the TDC, the characterization process, and discuss the effects of variations in temperature and voltage.

ID COSMIC-RAY MUONS; WAVELET DOMAIN; SCATTERING
AB Muon tomography is a novel imaging technique that uses background cosmic radiation to inspect vehicles or cargo containers for detecting the transportation or smuggling of heavy nuclear materials. Empirically, muon scattering data are modeled as zero-mean Gaussian random variables with variance being a function of the atom number and density of the scattering material. However, a single Gaussian distribution cannot model the tail of the true distribution and hence results in noisy reconstructed images. In this paper, we propose a Gaussian scale mixture (GSM) to approximate the true distribution of muon data. The GSM follows the true distribution more closely than a single Gaussian model. We have derived a maximum a posteriori (MAP) reconstruction algorithm based on the GSM likelihood. Localization receiver operating characteristics (LROC) studies were performed using computer simulated data to evaluate the new algorithm. The results show that the use of GSM improves the detection performance significantly over that of the traditional Gaussian likelihood.

ID CCD-BASED DETECTOR; SPATIAL-RESOLUTION
AB Our evaluation of a high-resolution digital imaging detector capable of providing millisecond time resolution and high sensitivity for neutrons is presented. This detector is a modified version of the high-resolution gamma-ray imager developed previously at Radiation Monitoring Devices, Inc. (RMD, Inc.), and consists of an Electron Multiplying Charge Coupled Device (EMCCD) attached to a neutron-sensitive scintillator via a fiberoptic taper. By virtue of its internal gain, the EMCCD permits high speed readout without introducing additional noise, thereby enabling high frame rate operation with an enhanced signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Detector sensitivity is enhanced through the use of a back-thinned EMCCD, which provides high quantum efficiency over a typical emission range for many neutron-sensitive scintillators. Preliminary evaluations conducted at the Liquids Reflectometer beam port of the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) demonstrate that this new detector has the sensitivity to detect individual neutrons and the acquisition speed to perform energy-selective imaging with a temporal resolution of milliseconds. While substantial improvements in timing and imaging performance are planned, this prototype detector has already generated the first ever images of the SNS Liquids Reflectometer beam profile and was also used to demonstrate a technique for obtaining Bragg edge transmission imaging using energy-selective neutrons. The preliminary data, along with the detector design, evaluation, and planned developments are discussed in this paper.

AB On the basis of nonproportionality data obtained for several scintillators, we have developed a model to describe the carrier dynamics to fit the light yield versus electron energy. The theory of Onsager was adapted to explain how the carriers form excitons or sequentially arrive at the activators to promote the ion to an excited state, and the theory of Birks was employed to allow for exciton-exciton annihilation. We then developed a second model to deduce the degradation in resolution that results from nonproportionality by evoking Landau fluctuations, which are essentially variations in the deposited energy density that occur as the high energy electron travels along its trajectory. In general there is agreement with the data, in terms of fitting the nonproportionality curves and reproducing the literature values of nonproportionality's contribution to the scintillator resolution.

AB Complex parallel applications can often be modeled as directed acyclic graphs of coarse-grained application tasks with dependences. These applications exhibit both task and data parallelism, and combining these two ( also called mixed parallelism) has been shown to be an effective model for their execution. In this paper, we present an algorithm to compute the appropriate mix of task and data parallelism required to minimize the parallel completion time (makespan) of these applications. In other words, our algorithm determines the set of tasks that should be run concurrently and the number of processors to be allocated to each task. The processor allocation and scheduling decisions are made in an integrated manner and are based on several factors such as the structure of the task graph, the runtime estimates and scalability characteristics of the tasks, and the intertask data communication volumes. A locality-conscious scheduling strategy is used to improve intertask data reuse. Evaluation through simulations and actual executions of task graphs derived from real applications and synthetic graphs shows that our algorithm consistently generates schedules with a lower makespan as compared to Critical Path Reduction (CPR) and Critical Path and Allocation (CPA), two previously proposed scheduling algorithms. Our algorithm also produces schedules that have a lower makespan than pure task- and data-parallel schedules. For task graphs with known optimal schedules or lower bounds on the makespan, our algorithm generates schedules that are closer to the optima than other scheduling approaches.

AB Energy spectra of X-rays emitted from the surface of a fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) insulator were measured at three different positions and compared with those of the vacuum gap between electrodes. Near the anode, the X-ray spectrum was dominated by monoenergetic electrons. Near the cathode, the spectrum peak shifted to low energy as compared with that near the anode. This result showed that a large amount of low-energy electrons was generated on the surface of the FRP insulator near the cathode.

AB We generalize a model, proposed by Alvarado, of the electric power market by including the effects of control and communication. To simulate realistic markets, our model issues control signals only at given times and those signals are delayed during transmission. These two effects transform Alvarado's continuous system into a hybrid system, with consequential effects. The stability analysis of the new system reveals two important properties. First, there is an upper limit on the market clearing time and the delay of the price signal beyond which the system becomes unstable. Second, there is a counter-intuitive relationship between the market clearing time and price signal delay: when the market clearing time is relatively long, delaying the price signal can improve the market's stability while reducing the communication delay can destabilize the market. This counter-intuitive effect shows that the full impact of information technology on power markets can be significant and difficult to anticipate. Therefore, as markets are designed and regulated, careful attention should be paid to the effects of information technology on the market's dynamic behavior.

AB BiFeO3 thin films have been deposited on (001) SrTiO3, (101) DyScO3, (011) DyScO3, (0001) AlGaN/GaN, and (0001) 6H-SiC single crystal substrates by reactive molecular beam epitaxy in an adsorption-controlled growth regime. This is achieved by supplying a bismuth over-pressure and utilizing the differential vapor pressures between bismuth oxides and BiFeO3 to control stoichiometry in accordance with thermodynamic calculations. Four-circle x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy reveal phase-pure, epitaxial films with rocking curve full width at half maximum values as narrow as 7.2 arc seconds (0.002 degrees). Epitaxial growth of (0001)-oriented BiFeO3 thin films on (0001) GaN, including AlGaN HEMT structures, and (0001) SiC has been realized using intervening epitaxial (111) SrTiO3 / (100) TiO2 buffer layers. The epitaxial BiFeO3 thin films have 2 in-plane orientations: [11 (2) over bar0] BiFeO3 parallel to [11 (2) over bar0] GaN (SiC) plus a twin variant related by a 180 degrees in-plane rotation. This epitaxial integration of the ferroelectric with the highest known polarization, BiFeO3. with high bandgap semiconductors is an important step toward novel field-effect devices.

AB Two-phase nanocomposite heteroepitaxial films with vertical microstructures hold great promise for various (multi)functional (e.g., multiferroic) electronic device applications. With the aim of creating addressable arrays, it is necessary to form spontaneously ordered structures over large areas. However, such structures have not, so far, been demonstrated. We have recently produced remarkable spontaneously ordered phase assemblies and find that these structures form concomitantly with 2-D vertical strain control, i.e., strain in the 2 phases is controlled along the vertical interface between them rather than being influenced by the substrate. In this paper, we report on our findings in the BiFeO(3) and BaTiO(3) ferroelectric systems.

AB P>Some prior research in office buildings has associated higher indoor temperatures even within the recommended thermal comfort range with increased worker symptoms. We reexamined this relationship in data from 95 office buildings in the US Environmental Protection Agency's Building Assessment Survey and Evaluation Study. We investigated relationships between building-related symptoms and thermal metrics constructed from real-time measurements. We estimated odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals in adjusted logistic regression models with general estimating equations, overall and by season. Winter indoor temperatures spanned the recommended winter comfort range; summer temperatures were mostly colder than the recommended summer range. Increasing indoor temperatures, overall, were associated with increases in few symptoms. Higher winter indoor temperatures, however, were associated with increases in all symptoms analyzed. Higher summer temperatures, above 23 degrees C, were associated with decreases in most symptoms. Humidity ratio, a metric of absolute humidity, showed few clear associations. Thus, increased symptoms with higher temperatures within the thermal comfort range were found only in winter. In summer, buildings were overcooled, and only the higher observed temperatures were within the comfort range; these were associated with decreased symptoms. Confirmation of these findings would suggest that thermal management guidelines consider health effects as well as comfort, and that less conditioning of buildings in both winter and summer may have unexpected health benefits.Practical Implications
In winter, higher temperatures within the thermal comfort range are common in US office buildings and may be associated with increased symptoms. In summer, temperatures below the thermal comfort range are common and may be associated with increased symptoms. Results from this large study thus suggest that in US office buildings, less winter heating (in buildings that are in heating mode) and less summer cooling may reduce acute symptoms while providing substantial energy conservation benefits, with no expected thermal comfort penalty and, in summer, even thermal comfort benefits. If confirmed, this would be welcome news.

AB To investigate the extent to which macrophages respond to Salmonella infection, we infected RAW 264.7 macrophages with Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium and analyzed macrophage proteins at various time points following infection by using a global proteomic approach. A total of 1,006 macrophage and 115 Salmonella proteins were identified with high confidence. Most of the Salmonella proteins were observed in the late stage of the infection time course, which is consistent with the fact that the bacterial cells proliferate inside RAW 264.7 macrophages. The peptide abundances of most of the identified macrophage proteins remained relatively constant over the time course of infection. Compared to those of the control, the peptide abundances of 244 macrophage proteins (i.e., 24% of the total identified macrophage proteins) changed significantly after infection. The functions of these Salmonella-affected macrophage proteins were diverse, including production of antibacterial nitric oxide (i.e., inducible nitric oxide synthase), production of prostaglandin H(2) (i.e., cyclooxygenase 2), and regulation of intracellular traffic (e.g., sorting nexin 5 [SNX5], SNX6, and SNX9). Diverse functions of the Salmonella-affected macrophage proteins demonstrate a global macrophage response to Salmonella infection. Western blot analysis not only confirmed the proteomic results for a selected set of proteins but also revealed that (i) the protein abundance of mitochondrial superoxide dismutase increased following macrophage infection, indicating an infection-induced oxidative stress in mitochondria, and (ii) in contrast to infection of macrophages by wild-type Salmonella, infection by the sopB deletion mutant had no negative impact on the abundance of SNX6, suggesting a role for SopB in regulating the abundance of SNX6.

AB The Truchas code was developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory under the Advanced Simulation and Computing Program. This open source multi-physics simulation software is designed to run in a scalable parallel computing environment. The capabilities of the code and numerical implementation are briefly described. The advantages and limitations of large three dimensional simulations will be discussed, and two example simulations are shown that demonstrate the utility of the fluid flow, heat transfer, phase change and solid mechanics capabilities. Validation of a code such as Truchas is a difficult task because of the complexity of the coupling between different physical phenomena being modelled and the poor understanding of phenomena such as heat transfer across interfaces. The challenges associated with verification and validation of complex simulation tools and integration into the design process are also discussed.

AB In this study, a phase-field model is introduced to model the damage evolution, due to particle cracking in reinforced composites in which matrix deformation is described by an elastic-plastic constitutive law exhibiting linear hardening behavior. In order to establish the viability of the algorithm, the simulations are carried out for crack extension from a square hole in isotropic elastic solid under the complex loading path, and composites having the same volume fraction of reinforcements with two different particle sizes. The observed cracking patterns and development of the stress-strain curves agree with the experimental observations and previous numerical studies. The algorithm offers significant advantages to describe the microstructure and topological changes associated with the damage evolution in comparison to conventional simulation algorithms, due to the absence of formal meshing.

AB The effect of initial conditions on the growth rate of turbulent Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) mixing has been studied using carefully formulated numerical simulations. An implicit large-eddy simulation (ILES) that uses a finite-volume technique was employed to solve the three-dimensional incompressible Euler equations with numerical dissipation. The initial conditions were chosen to test the dependence of the RT growth parameters (alpha(b), alpha(s)) on variations in (a) the spectral bandwidth, (b) the spectral shape, and (c) discrete banded spectra. our findings support the notion that the overall growth of the RT mixing is strongly dependent on initial conditions. Variation in spectral shapes and bandwidths are found to have a complex effect of the late time development of the RT mixing layer, and raise the question of whether we can design RT transition and turbulence based on our choice of initial conditions. In addition, our results provide a useful database for the initialization and development of closures describing RT transition and turbulence. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

AB As fuel cell vehicles approach wide-scale deployment, the issue of the quality of hydrogen dispensed to the vehicles has become increasingly important. The various factors that must be considered include the effects of different contaminants on fuel cell performance and durability, the production and purification of hydrogen to meet fuel quality guidelines, and the associated costs of providing hydrogen of that quality to the fuel cell vehicles. In this paper, we describe the development of a model to track the formation and removal of several contaminants over the various steps of hydrogen production by steam-methane reforming (SMR) of natural gas, followed by purification by pressure-swing adsorption (PSA). We have used the model to evaluate the effects of setting varying levels of these contaminants in the product hydrogen on the production/purification efficiency, hydrogen recovery, and the cost of the hydrogen. The model can be used to track contaminants such as CO(2), CO, N(2), CH(4), and H(2)S in the process. The results indicate that a suggested specification of 0.2 ppm CO would limit the maximum hydrogen recovery from the PSA under typical design and operating conditions. The steam-to-carbon ratio and the process pressure are found to have a significant impact on the process efficiency. Varying the CO specification from 0.1 to 1 ppm is not expected to affect the cost of hydrogen significantly, although the cost of gas analysis to comply with such stringent requirements may add 210 cents/kg to the cost of hydrogen.

AB The hybrid sulfur thermochemical cycle has been proposed as a means to produce efficiently massive quantities of clean hydrogen using a high-temperature heat source like nuclear or solar. The cycle consists of two steps, one of which is electrolytic. The reversible cell potential for this step and, hence, the resulting operating potential will depend on the concentrations of dissolved SO2 and sulfuric acid at the electrode. To understand better how these are related as functions of temperature and pressure, an Aspen Plus phase equilibrium model using the OLI Mixed Solvent Electrolyte physical properties method was employed to determine the activities of the species present in the system. These activities used in conjunction with the Nernst equation to determine the reversible cell as a function of sulfuric acid concentration, temperature and pressure. A significant difference between the reversible and actual cell potentials was found, suggesting that there may be considerable room for reducing the operating potential.

AB A two-stage dark-fermentation and electrohydrogenesis process was used to convert the recalcitrant lignocellulosic materials into hydrogen gas at high yields and rates. Fermentation using Clostridium thermocellum produced 1.67 mol H(2)/mol-glucose at a rate of 0.25 L H(2)/L-d with a com stover lignocellulose feed, and 1.64 mol H(2)/mol-glucose and 1.6S L H(2)/L-d with a cellobiose feed. The lignocelluose and cellobiose fermentation effluent consisted primarily of: acetic, lactic, succinic, and formic acids and ethanol. An additional 800 +/- 290 ml H(2)/g-COD was produced from a synthetic effluent with a wastewater inoculum (fermentation effluent inoculum; FEI) by electrohydrogensis using microbial electrolysis cells (MECs). Hydrogen yields were increased to 980 +/- 110 mL H(2)/g-COD with the synthetic effluent by combining in the inoculum samples from multiple microbial fuel cells (MFCs) each pre-acclimated to a single substrate (single substrate inocula; SSI). Hydrogen yields and production rates with SSI and the actual fermentation effluents were 980 +/- 110 mL/g-COD and 1.11 +/- 0.13 L/L-d (synthetic); 900 +/- 140 mL/g-COD and 0.96 +/- 0.16 L/L-d (cellobiose); and 750 +/- 180 mL/g-COD and 1.00 +/- 0.19 L/L-d (lignocellulose). A maximum hydrogen production rate of 1.11 +/- 0.13 L H(2)/L reactor/d was produced with synthetic effluent. Energy efficiencies based on electricity needed for the MEC using SSI were 270 +/- 20% for the synthetic effluent, 230 +/- 50% for lignocellulose effluent and 220 +/- 30% for the cellobiose effluent. COD removals were similar to 90% for the synthetic effluents, and 70-85% based on VFA removal (65% COD removal) with the cellobiose and lignocellulose effluent. The overall hydrogen yield was 9.95 mol-H(2)/mol-glucose for the cellobiose. These results show that pre-acclimation of MFCs to single substrates improves performance with a complex mixture of substrates, and that high hydrogen yields and gas production rates can be achieved using a two-stage fermentation and MEC process.

AB Proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysis is a potential alternative technology to crack water in specialty applications where a dry gas stream is needed, such as isotope production. One design proposal is to feed the cathode of the electrolyzer with vapor phase water. This feed configuration would allow isotopic water to be isolated on the cathode side of the electrolyzer and the isotope recovery system could be operated in a closed loop. Tests were performed to characterize the difference in the current-voltage behavior between a PEM electrolyzer operated with a cathode water vapor feed and with an anode liquid water feed. The cathode water vapor feed cell had a maximum limiting current density of 400 mA/cm(2) at 70 degrees C compared to a current density of 800 mA/cm(2) for the anode liquid feed cell at 70 degrees C. The limiting current densities for the cathode water vapor feed cell were similar to those predicted by a water mass transfer model. It is estimated that a cathode water vapor feed electrolyzer system will need to be between 5 and 8 times larger in active area or number of cells than an anode liquid feed system.

A focused ion beam microscope was employed to fabricate miniaturized specimens, while an indenter installed in a scanning electron microscope was utilized to actuate the samples and record the load and displacement data during the deformation. Examples for miniaturized compression, tension, bending, as well as newly developed bending fatigue and bending fracture experiments are presented, demonstrating the unique flexibility of in-situ mechanical testing in the scanning electron microscope at small length scales.

GRAIN; HOMOGENIZATION
AB Homogenization estimates based on the self-consistent scheme are customarily used to describe the plastic yielding of polycrystals. Such estimates of the initial micro yield surface of a polycrystal depend on the morphologic and crystallographic textures, the slip system geometry, the corresponding critical resolved shear stresses and the single crystal elastic anisotropy. The usual approach relies on a rather crude description of the stress field induced by the local elastic anisotropy. This deficiency is addressed and a new concept, i.e. a "probability" yield surface is proposed. Based on a statistical description of the local fields, the latter makes use of the average and the standard deviation of the resolved shear stress on the different slip systems within a given crystalline orientation. By comparing the homogenization estimates with full-field results, it is shown that the self-consistent scheme does not present intrinsic shortcomings regarding the prediction of the micro yield stress of polycrystals with anisotropic elastic constitutive behaviour. On the contrary, it delivers realistic estimates if the local field fluctuations are taken into account in the yield criterion. The quantitative results obtained for cubic elasticity show a strong influence of the intragranular stress heterogeneity on the estimate of the micro yield stress. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

AB Neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is an inflammatory intestinal disorder affecting preterm infants. Intestinal bacteria have an important function; however no causative pathogen has been identified. The purpose of this study was to determine if there are differences in microbial patterns that may be critical to the development of this disease. Fecal samples from 20 preterm infants, 10 with NEC and 10 matched controls (including 4 twin pairs) were obtained from patients in a single site level III neonatal intensive care unit. Bacterial DNA from individual fecal samples was PCR-amplified and subjected to terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis and library sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene to characterize diversity and structure of the enteric microbiota. The distribution of samples from NEC patients distinctly clustered separately from controls. Intestinal bacterial colonization in all preterm infants was notable for low diversity. Patients with NEC had even less diversity, an increase in abundance of Gammaproteobacteria, a decrease in other bacteria species, and had received a higher mean number of previous days of antibiotics. Our results suggest that NEC is associated with severe lack of microbiota diversity that may accentuate the impact of single dominant microorganisms favored by empiric and widespread use of antibiotics.

AB In the genome of Shewanella oneidensis, a napDAGHB gene cluster encoding periplasmic nitrate reductase (NapA) and accessory proteins and an nrfA gene encoding periplasmic nitrite reductase (NrfA) have been identified. These two systems seem to be atypical because the genome lacks genes encoding cytoplasmic membrane electron transport proteins, NapC for NAP and NrfBCD/NrfH for NRF, respectively. Here, we present evidence that reduction of nitrate to ammonium in S. oneidensis is carried out by these atypical systems in a two-step manner. Transcriptional and mutational analyses suggest that CymA, a cytoplasmic membrane electron transport protein, is likely to be the functional replacement of both NapC and NrfH in S. oneidensis. Surprisingly, a strain devoid of napB encoding the small subunit of nitrate reductase exhibited the maximum cell density sooner than the wild type. Further characterization of this strain showed that nitrite was not detected as a free intermediate in its culture and NapB provides a fitness gain for S. oneidensis to compete for nitrate in the environments. On the basis results from mutational analyses of napA, napB, nrfA and napBnrfA in-frame deletion mutants, we propose that NapB is able to favor nitrate reduction by routing electrons to NapA exclusively.

AB Rigid-body refinement is the constrained coordinate refinement of one or more groups of atoms that each move (rotate and translate) as a single body. The goal of this work was to establish an automatic procedure for rigid-body refinement which implements a practical compromise between runtime requirements and convergence radius. This has been achieved by analysis of a large number of trial refinements for 12 classes of random rigid-body displacements (that differ in magnitude of introduced errors), using both least-squares and maximum-likelihood target functions. The results of these tests led to a multiple-zone protocol. The final parameterization of this protocol was optimized empirically on the basis of a second large set of test refinements. This multiple-zone protocol is implemented as part of the phenix.refine program.

AB Neutron powder-diffraction-based atomic pair distribution functions (PDFs) are reported from the new wide-angular-range chopper spectrometer ARCS at the Spallation Neutron Source at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The spectrometer was run in white-beam mode with no Fermi chopper. The PDF patterns of Ni and Al(2)O(3) were refined using the PDFfit method and the results compared with data collected at the NPDF diffractometer at Los Alamos National Laboratory. The resulting fits are of high quality, demonstrating that quantitatively reliable powder diffraction data can be obtained from ARCS when operated in this configuration.

AB Magnetic forces are increasingly used to compensate weight in multiphase matter (solids, liquids, or vapor), but compensation cannot be strictly uniform. In order to determine quantitatively the remaining forces, a magnetogravitational potential was constructed. The potential can be revealed by the shape of the liquid-vapor interfaces near the critical point, where the interfacial tension vanishes. Experiments near the critical point of H(2) (33 K) are reported which support this finding.

AB The Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program Meteorological Support Project ensures the accuracy and reliability of data acquired by meteorological monitoring stations located at seven U. S. Army chemical weapons depots where storage and weapons destruction ( demilitarization) activities are ongoing. The data are delivered in real time to U. S. Army plume dispersion models, which are used to plan for and respond to a potential accidental release of a chemical weapons agent. The project provides maintenance, calibration, and audit services for the instrumentation; collection, automated screening, visual inspection, and analysis of the data; and problem reporting and tracking to carefully control the data quality. The resulting high-quality meteorological data enhance emergency response modeling and public safety.

AB Aerosol optical depth (AOD) using different instruments during three short and intensive campaigns carried out from 1999 to 2001 at El Arenosillo in Huelva, Spain, are presented and compared. The specific aim of this study is to determine the level of agreement between three different instruments running in operational conditions. This activity, however, is part of a broader objective to recover an extended data series of AOD in the UV range obtained from a Brewer spectroradiometer. This instrument may be used to obtain AOD at the same five UV wavelengths used during normal operation for ozone content determination. As part of the validation of the Brewer AOD data, a Cimel sun photometer and another spectroradiometer, a Li-Cor 1800, were used. A detailed comparison of these three instruments is carried out by means of near-simultaneous measurements, with particular emphasis on examining diurnal AOD variability. Absolute AOD uncertainties range from 0.02 for the Cimel to 0.08 for the Brewer, with intermediate values for the Li-Cor 1800. All data during the comparison are in reasonable agreement, when taking into account the different performance characteristics of each instrument. The comparison also demonstrates current deficiencies in the Brewer data and thus the difficulty to determine AOD values with low errors.

AB The yjeE, yeaZ, and ygjD genes are highly conserved in the genomes of eubacteria, and ygjD orthologs are also found throughout the Archaea and eukaryotes. In this study, we have constructed conditional expression strains for each of these genes in the model organism Escherichia coli K12. We show that each gene is essential for the viability of E. coli under laboratory growth conditions. Growth of the conditional strains under nonpermissive conditions results in dramatic changes in cell ultrastructure. Deliberate repression of the expression of yeaZ results in cells with highly condensed nucleoids, while repression of yjeE and ygjD expression results in at least a proportion of very enlarged cells with an unusual peripheral distribution of DNA. Each of the three conditional expression strains can be complemented by multicopy clones harboring the rstA gene, which encodes a two-component-system response regulator, strongly suggesting that these proteins are involved in the same essential cellular pathway. The results of bacterial two-hybrid experiments show that YeaZ can interact with both YjeE and YgjD but that YgjD is the preferred interaction partner. The results of in vitro experiments indicate that YeaZ mediates the proteolysis of YgjD, suggesting that YeaZ and YjeE act as regulators to control the activity of this protein. Our results are consistent with these proteins forming a link between DNA metabolism and cell division.

AB Babies experience hypoxia (H) and ischemia (I) from stroke. The only approved treatment for stroke is fibrinolytic therapy with tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA). However, tPA potentiates H/I-induced impairment of responses to cerebrovasodilators such as hypercapnia and hypotension, and blockade of tPA-mediated vasoactivity prevents this deleterious effect. Coupling of tPA to red blood cells (RBCs) reduces its central nervous system (CNS) toxicity through spatially confining the drug to the vasculature. Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), a family of at least three kinases, is upregulated after H/I. In this study we determined whether RBC-tPA given before or after cerebral H/I would preserve responses to cerebrovasodilators and prevent neuronal injury mediated through the extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK) MAPK pathway. Animals given RBC-tPA maintained responses to cerebrovasodilators at levels equivalent to pre-H/I values. cerebrospinal fluid and brain parenchymal ERK MAPK was elevated by H/I and this upregulation was potentiated by tPA, but blunted by RBC-tPA. U0126, an ERK MAPK antagonist, also maintained cerebrovasodilation post H/I. Neuronal degeneration in CA1 hippocampus after H/I was not improved by tPA, but was ameliorated by RBC-tPA and U0126. These data suggest that coupling of tPA to RBCs offers a novel approach toward increasing the benefit/risk ratio of thrombolytic therapy for CNS disorders associated with H/I.

AB We perform pressure-driven non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (MID) simulations to drive a 1.0 M NaCl electrolyte through a dipole-lined smooth nanopore of diameter 12 A penetrating a model membrane. We show that partial, about 70-80%, Cl(-) rejection is achieved at a similar to 68 atmosphere pressure. At the high water flux achieved in these model nanopores, which are particularly pertinent to atomistically smooth carbon nanotube membranes that permit fast water transport, the ion rejection ratio decreases with increasing water flux. The computed potential of mean force of Cl- frozen inside the nanopore reveals a barrier of 6.4 kcal/mol in 1.0 M NaCl solution. The Cl(-) permeation occurs despite the barrier, and this is identified as a dynamical effect, with ions carried along by the water flux. Na(+)-CI(-) ion-pairing or aggregation near the pore entrance and inside the pore, where the dielectric screening is weaker than in bulk water, is critical to Cl(-) permeation. We also consider negative charges decorating the rim and the interior of the pore instead of dipoles, and find that, with sufficient pressure, Cl(-) from a 1.0 M NaCl solution readily passes through such nanopores.

AB We compute the probability distribution for bubble collisions in an inflating false vacuum which decays by bubble nucleation. Our analysis generalizes previous work of Guth, Garriga, and Vilenkin to the case of general cosmological evolution inside the bubble, and takes into account the dynamics of the domain walls that form between the colliding bubbles. We find that incorporating these effects changes the results dramatically: the total expected number of bubble collisions in the past lightcone of a typical observer is N similar to gamma V-f/V-i, where gamma is the fastest decay rate of the false vacuum, V-f is its vacuum energy, and V-i is the vacuum energy during inflation inside the bubble. This number can be large in realistic models without tuning. In addition, we calculate the angular position and size distribution of the collisions on the cosmic microwave background sky, and demonstrate that the number of bubbles of observable angular size is N-LS similar to root Omega N-k, where Omega(k) is the curvature contribution to the total density at the time of observation. The distribution is almost exactly isotropic.

AB In recent years, a number of experiments have been conducted with the goal of studying cosmic rays at GeV to TeV energies. This is a particularly interesting regime from the perspective of indirect dark matter detection. To draw reliable conclusions regarding dark matter from cosmic ray measurements, however, it is important to first understand the propagation of cosmic rays through the magnetic and radiation fields of the Milky Way. In this paper, we constrain the characteristics of the cosmic ray electron/positron propagation model through comparison with observational inputs, including recent data from the CREAM experiment, and use these constraints to estimate the corresponding uncertainties in the spectrum of cosmic ray electrons and positrons from dark matter particles annihilating in the halo of the Milky Way.

AB Raman laser studies of detector-grade CdZnTe crystals show an increase in intensity of the Te peaks of the Raman spectra even at very low laser powers. In this study, atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used to characterize the extent of damage to the CdZnTe crystal surface following exposure to the Raman laser. AFM images revealed localized surface damage in the areas exposed to the Raman laser beam. Additional studies using conductive-probe AFM techniques provided localized electrical information for the laser-induced Te-rich areas.

AB Cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) has remained a major focus of research due to its promising application as a room-temperature nuclear radiation detector material. Among the several parameters that substantially affect the detectors' performance, an important one is the distribution of the internal electric field. Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) employed synchrotron x-ray microscale mapping and measurements of the Pockels effect to investigate the distribution of the internal electric field in a CZT strip detector. Direct evidence that dislocations can distort the internal electric field of the detector was obtained. Furthermore, it was found that "star" defects in the CZT crystal, possibly ascribed to dislocation loop punching, cause charge trapping.

AB CdMnTe offers several potential advantages over CdZnTe as a room- temperature gamma-ray detector, but many drawbacks in its growth process impede the production of large, defect-free single crystals with high electrical resistivity and high electron lifetimes. Here, we report our findings of the defects in several vanadium-doped as-grown as well as annealed Cd1-x Mn (x) Te crystals, using etch pit techniques. We carefully selected single crystals from the raw wafer to fabricate and test as a gamma-ray detector. We describe the quality of the processed Cd1-x Mn (x) Te surfaces, and compare them with similarly treated CdZnTe crystals. We discuss the characterization experiments aimed at clarifying the electrical properties of fabricated detectors, and evaluate their performance as gamma-ray spectrometers.

Flow With Manifold Passage Cross Flow

ID MICROCHANNELS; CAVITATION
AB The available information describing the various stages of flow conditions that occur as the flow transitions from noncavitation to cavitation (turbulent flow), supercavitation, and finally separation in sharp-edge 90 deg orifices is extensive. However, although sharp-edge orifices in cross flow represent a significant number of injection schemes inherent in many applications, data for this configuration are sparse or nonexistent. This study is intended to increase the database and understanding of the driving variables affecting the flow in all of these conditions. Tests were carried out in a unique test facility capable of achieving large variations in back pressure, flowrate, and operating upstream pressure. The configuration and test ranges of this study includes orifice length/diameter ratios from 2 to 10, upstream pressures from 7.03 kg/cm(2) to 105.1 kg/cm(2), orifice/manifold area ratio of 0.028 to 0.082, and manifold cross flow velocity of from 410 cm/s to 1830 cm/s. The results for these small area ratio configurations support two different first order models, one for cavitation and the other noncavitation both in turbulent flow. Under cavitation conditions the discharge coefficient is related to the contraction coefficient and the cavitation parameter to the 1/2 power. In the noncavitation flow regime the head loss is related to the loss coefficient and the dynamic pressure at the orifice exit. Both the head loss and contraction coefficient were found to be a strong function of the ratio of manifold/orifice exit velocity. Equations are provided defining the relationships that allow determination of the contraction coefficient, discharge coefficient, and head loss between the contraction coefficient, as well as the loss coefficient and operating conditions. Cavitation parameter values for cavitation inception, cavitation, and supercavitation are also provided. The potential flow theory was shown to predict the contraction coefficient when upstream (manifold to vena-contracta) losses are minimal.

DT Article

AB Fractional scaling analysis (FSA) is demonstrated at the system level. The selected example is depressurization of nuclear reactor primary systems undergoing large- and small-break loss of coolant accidents (LOCA), specifically in two integral test facilities of different sizes and shapes, namely, LOFT and Semiscale. The paper demonstrates (1) the relation between pressure and volume displacement rates in analogy to generalized "effort" and "flow" in interdisciplinary analysis of complex systems and (2) using experimental data that a properly scaled depressurization history applies to both large- and small-break LOCA in two different facilities. FSA, when applied at the system, component, and process levels, serves to synthesize the worldwide wealth of results from analyses and experiments into compact form for efficient storage, transfer, and retrieval of information. The demonstration at the system level shows that during LOCAs the break flow dominates for break sizes between 0.1% and 200% of cold-leg flow cross-sectional area, and that FSA ranks processes quantitatively and thereby objectively in the order of their importance. FSA supersedes the hereunto subjectively implemented phenomena identification and ranking table. FSA readily quantifies scale distortions. FSA reduces significantly the need for and current cost of experiments and analyses.

AB Flow maldistribution among polymer electrolyte fuel-cell (PEFC) channels is of concern because this leads to nonuniform distributions of fuel and oxidizer, which in turn result in nonuniform reaction rates in the catalyst layers and thus detrimentally affect PEFC performance and durability. Channels with low flow rates risk flooding by liquid water. This can cause catalyst support corrosion and hence the undesirably accelerated aging of PEFCs. Multiphase flow computations are performed to examine the effects of gas diffusion layer (GDL) intrusion and manifold design on reducing flow maldistribution. Velocity field, hydrodynamic pressure, and liquid saturations are computed in the parallel gas channels using the multiphase-mixture formulation in order to quantify the flow nonuniformity or maldistribution among PEFC channels. It is shown that, when channel flow is in single phase, employing two splitter plates in the header manifold can bring down the flow maldistribution to less than half of that for the case with 20% area maldistribution due to the GDL intrusion. When channel flow occurs in the two-phase regime, the liquid-water front can be pushed downstream and the effect of GDL intrusion on the maximum liquid saturation can be decreased by more than one-third by using flow splitters.

AB This paper presents the study of the effect variations in the heat effluence from a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) has on a gas turbine hybrid configuration. The SOFC is simulated through hardware at the U.S. Department of Energy, National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL). The gas turbine, compressor, recuperative heat exchanger, and other balance of plant components are represented by actual hardware in the Hybrid Performance Test Facility at NETL. Fuel cell heat exhaust is represented by a combustor that is activated by a fuel cell model that computes energy release for various sensed system states System structure is derived by means of frequency response data generated by the sinusoidal oscillation of the combustor fuel valve over a range of frequencies covering three orders of magnitude. System delay and order are obtained from Bode plots of the magnitude and phase relationships between input and output parameters. Transfer functions for mass flow, temperature, pressure, and other states of interest are derived as a function of fuel valve flow, representative of fuel cell thermal effluent. The Bode plots can validate existing analytical transfer functions, provide steady state error detection, give a stability margin criterion for the fuel valve input, estimate system bandwidth, identify any nonminimum phase system behavior, pinpoint unstable frequencies, and serve as an element of a piecewise transfer function in the development of an overall transfer function matrix covering all system inputs and outputs of interest. Further loop shaping techniques and state space representation can be applied to this matrix in a multivariate control algorithm.

AB The scaled momentum distributions of charged particles in jets have been measured for dijet photoproduction with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 359 pl(-1). The distributions are compared to predictions based on pertubative QCD carried out in the framework of the modified leading-logarithmic approximation (MLLA) and assuming local parton-hadron duality (LPHD). The universal MLLA scale, Lambda(eff), and the LPHD parameter, K-ch, are extracted.

AB We compute the one-loop QCD amplitudes for the processes H (q) over barq (Q) over barQ and H (q) over bar qgg, the latter restricted to the case of opposite-helicity gluons. Analytic expressions are presented for the color- and helicity-decomposed amplitudes. The coupling of the Higgs boson to gluons is treated by an effective interaction in the limit of large top quark mass. The Higgs field is split into a complex field phi and its complex conjugate phi(dagger). The split is useful because amplitudes involving phi have different analytic structure from those involving phi(dagger). We compute the cut-containing pieces of the amplitudes using generalized unitarity. The remaining rational parts are obtained by on-shell recursion. Our results for H (q) over barq (Q) over barQ agree with previous semi-numerical computations. We also show how to convert existing semi-numerical results for the production of a scalar Higgs boson into analogous results for a pseudoscalar Higgs boson.

AB Using the AdS/CFT correspondence, we calculate the polarized structure functions in strongly coupled N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory deformed in the infrared. We find that the flavor singlet contribution to the g 1 structure function is vanishingly small, while the flavor non-singlet contribution shows the Regge behavior at small-x with an intercept slightly less than 1. We explicitly check that the latter satisfies the moment sum rule. We discuss the 'spin crisis' problem and suggest that at strong coupling the spin of a hadron entirely comes from the orbital angular momentum.

AB We consider scenarios with large flavour violating entries in the squark mass matrices focusing on the mixing between second and third generation squarks. These entries govern both, flavour violating low energy observables on the one hand and squark and gluino decays on the other hand. We first discuss the constraints on the parameter space due to the recent data on B mesons from the B factories and Tevatron. We then consider flavour violating squark and gluino decays and show that they can still be typically of order 10% despite the stringent constraints from low energy data. Finally we briefly comment on the impact for searches and parameter determinations at future collider experiments such as the upcoming LHC or a future International Linear Collider.

AB We consider several hints for new physics involving CP-asymmetries in B-decays and interpret them in terms of generic contributions to effective Wilson coefficients. The effects we focus on are: the differences in the fitted value of sin 2 beta versus the ones directly measured via the time dependent CP asymmetries in B -> J/psi K or via B -> (phi, eta')K; the difference between the direct CP asymmetries in B- -> K-pi(0) and (b) over bar (0) -> K-pi(+) and the approximate to 2.2 sigma indications for the CP-asymmetry in B-s -> J/psi phi. To alleviate concerns regarding the disagreement between inclusive and exclusive V-ub, we show that our results hold even without the inclusion of V-ub in the analysis. We find that no matter what kind of new physics (NP) is invoked to explain these effects, its effective scale is bounded from above from a few hundred GeV to a few TeV depending on specific assumptions regarding the type of new physics. The only exception to this is when the NP contribution is assumed to reside entirely in LR operators in K mixing, then the scale of NP can be as high as around 24 TeV; however, this case cannot account for CP asymmetry in B-s -> J/psi phi or a difference in sin 2 beta from penguin modes compared to that from J/psi K or for that matter the large difference seen between direct CP asymmetries in K-pi(+) and in K-pi(0).

AB The fully unintegrated, off-diagonal quark-quark correlator for a spin-1/2 hadron is parameterized in terms of so-called generalized parton correlation functions. Such objects, in particular, can be considered as mother distributions of generalized parton distributions on the one hand and transverse momentum dependent parton distributions on the other. Therefore, our study provides new, model-independent insights into the recently proposed nontrivial relations between generalized and transverse momentum dependent parton distributions. We find that none of these relations can be promoted to a model-independent status. As a by-product we obtain the first complete classification of generalized parton distributions beyond leading twist. The present paper is a natural extension of our previous corresponding analysis for spin-0 hadrons.

The growth rates are considerably smaller than the linear growth rates for the two-stream instability in drift spaces and are close to those actually observed.

AB Conventionally implemented MRI is performed in a strong magnetic field, typically >1 T. The high fields, however, can lead to many limitations. To overcome these limitations, Ultra-low field (ULF) [or microtesla] MRI systems have been proposed and implemented. To-date such systems rely on low-Tc Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices (SQUIDs) leading to the requirement of cryogens. In this letter, we report ULF-MRI obtained with a non-cryogenic atomic magnetometer. This demonstration creates opportunities for developing inexpensive and widely applicable MRI scanners.

AB A series of 20 and 100 nm Fe(53)Pt(47) thin films sputter-deposited onto Si substrates have been thermally annealed using a pulsed thermal plasma arc lamp. A series of one, three or five pulses were applied to the thin films with widths of either 50 or 100 ms. The microstructure and magnetic properties of these annealed Fe(53)Pt(47) films are discussed according to the various annealing conditions and A1 to L1(0) phase transformation. Upon pulse annealing, the average in-plane grain size of 15 nm (nearly equivalent for both film thicknesses) was observed to increase to values near 20 nm. In general, increasing the pulse width or number of pulses increased the L1(0) order parameter, tetragonality of the c/a ratio and coercivity of the specimen. The exception to this trend was for five pulses at 100 ms for both film thicknesses, which indicated a reduction of the order parameter and coercivity. This reduction is believed to be a result of the interdiffusion of Fe and Pt into the Si substrate and the formation of iron oxide clusters in the grain boundaries characterized by atom probe tomography.

By systematically studying the width of the stray filed gradient distribution at different tip-to-sample distances, we show that the half-width at half-maximum (HWHM) of the signal from vortex core can be as narrow as similar to 21 nm at a closest tip-to-sample distance of 23 nm, even including the convolution effect of the finite size of the magnetic tip, a weak circular reverse component is found around the center of the magnetic vortex in the measured magnetic force microscope (MFM) signals, which can be attributed to the reverse magnetization around the vortex core. Successive micromagnetic and MFM imaging simulations show good agreements with our experimental results on the width of the stray field distribution. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB Directional recrystallization of an Fe-6.5wt%Si alloy was investigated by changing hot zone temperatures and growth rates. Elongated (columnar) grains with an aspect ratio more than 10 can be produced when growth parameters are carefully adjusted. It was found that at a fixed growth rate, the grain length and aspect ratio increase with increased hot zone temperatures. At a fixed hot zone temperature, there is a critical growth rate at which columnar grains have the largest average aspect ratio. Below or above this growth rate, the aspect ratio decreases. Texture and grain orientation analysis showed that the preferentially selective growth to form columnar grains was favored by the formation of low-energy surfaces and grain boundaries.

SO JOURNAL OF MATERIALS SCIENCE-MATERIALS IN MEDICINE

ID BIOCERAMICS
AB This article reports the study on a new generation bioactive ceramic, based on MgKPO(4) (Magnesium Potassium Phosphate, abbreviated as MKP) for biomedical applications. A series of heat treatment experiments on the slip cast silica (SiO(2)) containing MKP ceramics were carried out at 900, 1,000 and 1,100A degrees C for 4 h in air. The density of the slip cast ceramic increases to 2.5 gm/cm(3) upon heat treatment at 900A degrees C. However, no significant change in density is measured upon heat treatment to higher temperature of 1,000 and 1,100A degrees C. On the basis of XRD results, the presence of K(2)MgSi(5)O(12) and dehydrated MgKPO(4) were confirmed and complementary information has also been obtained using FT-IR and Raman spectroscopy. In order to confirm the in vitro cytocompatibility property, the cell culture tests were carried out on selected samples and the results reveal good cell adhesion and spreading of L929 mouse fibroblast cells. MTT assay analysis with L929 cells confirmed non-cytotoxic behavior of MKP containing ceramics and the results are comparable with sintered HAp ceramics. It is expected that the newly developed MKP based materials could be a good substitute for hydroxyapatite (HAp or HA) based bioceramics.

AB Monitoring diversity changes and contamination in mixed cultures and simple microcosms is challenged by fast community structure dynamics, and the need for means allowing fast, cost-efficient and accurate identification of microorganisms at high phylogenetic resolution. The method we explored is a variant of Automated rRNA Intergenic Spacer Analysis based on Intra-Genomic Diversity Fingerprinting (ARISA-IGDF), and identifies phylotypes with multiple 16S-23S rRNA gene Intergenic Transcribed Spacers. We verified the effect of PCR conditions (annealing temperature, duration of final extension, number of cycles, group-specific primers and formamide) on ARISA-IGD fingerprints of 44 strains of Shewanella. We present a digitization algorithm and data analysis procedures needed to determine confidence in strain identification. Though using stringent PCR conditions and group-specific primers allow reasonably accurate identification of strains with three ARISA-IGD amplicons within the 82-1000 bp size range, ARISA-IGDF is best for phylotypes with >= 4 unambiguously different amplicons. This method allows monitoring the occurrence of culturable microbes and can be implemented in applications requiring high phylogenetic resolution, reproducibility, low cost and high throughput such as identifying contamination and monitoring the evolution of diversity in mixed cultures and low diversity microcosms and periodic screening of small microbial culture libraries.

Initial data are reported with one of the switch designs having a measured switching time of 400 ns and an operating voltage of 5 V. The switches operated laterally with unmeasurable leakage current in the 'off' state. Surface micromachining techniques were used to fabricate the switches. All processing was CMOS compatible. A single metal layer, defined by a single mask step, was used as the mechanical switch layer. The details of the modeling, fabrication and testing of the NEMS switches are reported.

AB Polycrystalline silicon (polysilicon) strength data reported in the literature usually present results from only a limited number of trials because of the difficulties in applying high forces to the high-strength specimens. These forces are most often applied by off-chip actuators, which can pose cumbersome alignment issues. Here we demonstrate a compact on-chip tester using a thermal actuator to apply stress to a self-aligning tensile specimen via a prehensile grip mechanism. Preliminary characteristic strength and Weibull modulus values of 3.05 GPa and 12.8, respectively, are reported, in good agreement with other literature data. By querying the fracture strain of the material, this distinct measurement approach complements other methods of testing the strength of brittle polysilicon. Instrinsic test time is 5 min or less, and the area occupied is relatively small compared to other on-chip tensile test devices. This will enable many trials for high confidence in polysilicon strength distribution in future work.

AB An outstanding example of biological pattern formation at the single cell level is the diversity of biomineral structures in the silica cell walls of the unicellular eukaryotic algae known as diatoms. We present a survey of cell wall silica structures of 16 diatom species, which included all major cell wall components(valves, girdle bands and setae), imaged across the nano-, meso-and microscales using atomic force microscopy. Because of atomic force microscopy's superior ability to image surface topology, this approach enabled visualization of the organization of possible underlying organic molecules involved in mineral structure formation. Diatom nanoscale silica structure varied greatly comparing the same feature in different species and different features within a single species, and frequently on different faces of the same object. These data indicate that there is not a strict relation between nanoscale silica morphology and the type of structure that contains it. On the mesoscale, there was a preponderance of linear structures regardless of the object imaged, suggesting that assembly or organization of linear organic molecules or subcellular assemblies that confine a linear space play an essential and conserved role in structure formation on that scale. Microscale structure imparted an overall influence over nano- and mesoscale structure, indicating that shaping of the silica deposition vesicle plays a key role in structure formation. These results provide insights into the design and assembly principles involved in diatom silica structure formation, facilitating an understanding of the native system and potentially aiding in development of biomimetic approaches.

AB The combination of high-resolution chemically sensitive soft X-ray microscopy with stereo imaging and processing techniques presented here forms a novel tool for the investigation of aqueous colloidal systems. Information about the spatial distribution within the sample is provided with small calculation effort processing just a pair of stereo micrographs. Thus, the extension towards investigation of dynamical behaviour is possible on the part of the experiment as well as of the processing.
The potential of this technique is demonstrated with applications in aqueous soil and clay samples. Within these samples, haematite particles are identified taking advantage of the elemental contrast at the Fe-L edge around E = 707 eV. In combination with stereo microscopy, information about spatial arrangements are revealed and correlated to electrostatic interactions of the different mixtures, addressing to an actual question of soil scientists. The technique allows in-situ sample manipulation, which is demonstrated by a test specimen where particles were added during imaging.

AB Genes with overlapping expression and function may gradually diverge despite retaining some common functions. To test whether such genes show distinct patterns of molecular evolution within species, we examined sequence variation at the bric A brac (bab) locus of Drosophila melanogaster. This locus is composed of two anciently duplicated paralogs, bab1 and bab2, which are involved in patterning the adult abdomen, legs, and ovaries. We have sequenced the 148 kb genomic region spanning the bab1 and bab2 genes from 94 inbred lines of D. melanogaster sampled from a single location. Two non-coding regions, one in each paralog, appear to be under selection. The strongest evidence of directional selection is found in a region of bab2 that has no known functional role. The other region is located in the bab1 paralog and is known to contain a cis-regulatory element that controls sex-specific abdominal pigmentation. The coding region of bab1 appears to be under stronger functional constraint than the bab2 coding sequences. Thus, the two paralogs are evolving under different selective regimes in the same natural population, illuminating the different evolutionary trajectories of partially redundant duplicate genes.

AB An exact variational algorithm is presented for calculating vibrational energy levels of pentaatomic molecules without any dynamical approximation. The quantum mechanical Hamiltonian of the system is expressed in a set of orthogonal coordinates defined by four scattering vectors in the body-fixed frame. The eigenvalue problem is solved using a two-layer Lanczos iterative diagonalization method in a mixed grid/basis set. A direct product potential-optimized discrete variable representation (PO-DVR) basis is used for the radial coordinates while a non-direct product finite basis representation (FBR) is employed for the angular variables. The two-layer Lanczos method requires only the actions of the Hamiltonian operator on the Lanczos vectors, where the potential-vector products are accomplished via a pseudo-spectral transform technique. By using Jacobi, Radau and orthogonal satellite vectors, we have proposed 21 types of orthogonal coordinate systems so that the algorithm is capable of describing most five-atom systems with small and/or large amplitude vibrational motions. Finally, an universal program (PetroVib) has been developed. Its applications to the molecules CH4 and H3O2-, and the van der Waals cluster He3Cl2 are also discussed. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc.

AB Behaviors that are under the control of positive or negative reinforcers undergo extinction when the anticipated reward/reinforcer is withheld. Despair, an important symptom of environmentally determined depression in humans, can be generated by extinction, or the failure of expected reward to accrue. Although well known to clinicians dealing with depressive patients, an animal model has not been available for extinction-induced depression. We have made a beginning towards validating such a model, based on the extinction of negatively reinforced behavior in the rat, i.e., upon removal of the possibility to escape onto a safety platform in the water maze. As a marker for despair, we employed behavioral immobility, i.e., the cessation of swimming in the attempt to find safety from the water, presumably, a type of learned helplessness. This measure was sensitive to antidepressants and correlated with neurotransmitter contents, neurotrophins and hypothalamus-pituitary adrenal axis markers in selected sites of the brain. Given that some cases of depression in the elderly may be biologically distinct from others and from early-onset depression, and since particularly the aged are prone to experience extinction-induced despair, we compared aged (ca. 24 months old) animals with adults in most of our studies. We found a number of distinct differences in behavioral and biological measures, indicative of differences in propensity to, as well as response to, extinction-induced despair between aged and adults. Our results add to the body of evidence for differences in the neurobiological substrates of depressive disorders between aged and adults, with the implication for the requirement of different treatment strategies in these two populations.

The cloud and micellization pressures for homopolymer and diblock copolymers are generally found to be higher in propane than in propylene, except for hydrogenated polybutacliene and polystyrene-block-(hydrogenated polybutadiene).

ID STEELS
AB Low-temperature mechanical behaviors have been investigated for the constituent materials of superconducting radio frequency cavities. Test materials consist of small grain Nb, single crystal Nb, large grain Nb (bicrystal), Ti45Nb-Nb weld joint (e-beam welded), and Ti-316L bimetal joint (explosion welded). The strength of all test metals displayed strong temperature dependence and the Ti-316L bimetal showed the highest strength and lowest ductility among the test materials. The fracture toughness of the small grain Nb metals decreased with decreasing test temperature and reached the lower shelf values (30-40 MPa root m) at or above 173 K. The Ti45Nb base and Ti45Nb-Nb weld metals showed much higher fracture toughness than the small grain Nb. An extrapolation and comparison with existing data showed that the fracture toughness of the small grain Nb metals at 4 K was expected to be similar to those at 173 and 77 K. The results from optical photography at a low magnification and fractography by a scanning electron microscope were consistent with corresponding mechanical properties. Published by Elsevier B.V.

AB Zirconium hydrides precipitate in fuel cladding alloys as a result of hydrogen uptake from the high-temperature corrosion environment of light water reactors. Synchrotron X-ray diffraction was performed at room temperature on stress-relieved Zircaloy-4 cladding with two distributions of hydrides - (1) uniformly distributed hydrides across the entire cladding wall and (2) hydride rim next to the outer surface. The delta-hydride phase was found to be the predominant hydride phase to precipitate for hydrogen contents up to 1250 weight parts per million (wt ppm). At a higher content, about 3000 wt ppm, although delta-hydride is still the majority phase, a significant amount of gamma-hydride is also observed. At even higher hydrogen contents, in excess of approximately 6000 wt ppm, such as can occur in a highly dense hydride layer, peaks associated with the F-hydride phase are also observed in the diffraction pattern. The volume fraction of hydrides was estimated as a function of hydrogen content using the integrated intensities of select diffraction peaks corresponding to the alpha-Zr matrix and the hydride phases. These estimated values agree well with calculated values from the independently measured concentrations. The results of this study indicate that hydride precipitation in Zircaloy-4 is a complex process of evolving hydride phases with increasing local hydrogen content. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.

AB Nuclear fuel reprocessing will be required to sustain nuclear power as a baseload energy supplier for the world. New reprocessing schemes offer an opportunity to develop a better strategy for recycling elements in the fuel and preparing stable waste forms. Advanced strategies could create a waste stream of cesium, strontium, rubidium, and barium. Some physical properties of a waste form containing these elements sintered into bentonite clay were evaluated. We prepared samples loaded to 27% by mass to a density of approximately 3 g/cm(3). Sintering temperatures of up to 1000 degrees C did not result in volatility of cesium. Instead, the crystallinity noticeably increased in the waste form as temperatures increased from 600 to 1000 degrees C. Assemblages of silicates were formed, Significant water evolved at approximately 600 degrees C but no other gases were generated at higher temperatures. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB This perspective article serves to highlight the contributions to this special volume of Journal of Organometallic Chemistry entitled "Organometallics for Energy Conversion". The key features of dihydrogen coordination to transition metal complexes are discussed in the context of the challenge of producing and utilizing hydrogen as the energy carrier of the future. Ultimately, production of H-2 fuel from water will be needed rather than its current production principally from natural gas. Schemes involving use of solar energy to split water are currently of high interest, and a massive research effort is underway worldwide to accomplish this goal. This is primarily a chemistry problem (rather than engineering or materials), and it can then be assumed that organometallic chemistry will play an important role for both hydrogen production and storage.

AB A new cyclic 1,5-diaza-3,7-diphosphacyclooctane ligand was prepared with phenyl substituents on phosphorus and (thiophene-3-yl) phenyl substituents on nitrogen. This ligand reacts with [Ni(CH3CN)(6)][BF4](2) to form the corresponding [Ni((P2N2Ar)-N-Ph)(2)(NCMe)][BF4](2) complex, 3, which is an active electrocatalyst for H-2 production. Kinetic studies indicate that the catalytic rate is first order in catalyst and second order in acid at low concentrations of acid, but at higher acid concentrations the catalytic rate becomes independent of acid concentration. The rate-determining step at high acid concentrations is attributed to the elimination of H-2 from a reduced Ni species. The modest overpotential of 280 mV and a turnover frequency of 56 s(-1) confirm that 3 is a relatively active catalyst for H-2 production in acetonitrile solutions. Oxidation of the pendant thiophene substituents of 3 results in the formation of films on glassy carbon electrode surfaces. However these films are not electroactive, and electrocatalysis of proton reduction is not observed with these modified electrodes. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB Characterizing the communication behavior of large-scale applications is a difficult and costly task due to code/system complexity and long execution times. While many tools to study this behavior have been developed, these approaches either aggregate information in a lossy way through high-level statistics or produce huge trace files that are hard to handle.
We contribute an approach that provides orders of magnitude smaller, if not near-constant size, communication traces regardless of the number of nodes while preserving structural information. We introduce intra- and inter-node compression techniques of MPI events that are capable of extracting an application's communication structure. We further present a replay mechanism for the traces generated by our approach and discuss results of our implementation for BlueGene/L Given this novel capability, we discuss its impact on communication tuning and beyond. To the best of our knowledge, such a concise representation of MPI traces in a scalable manner combined with deterministic MPI call replay is without any precedent. (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc.

To restore balance and to keep communication volume low in further iterations of the applications, dynamic load balancing (repartitioning) of the changed computational structure is required. Repartitioning differs from static load balancing (partitioning) due to the additional requirement of minimizing migration cost to move data from an existing partition to a new partition. In this paper, we present a novel repartitioning hypergraph model for dynamic load balancing that accounts for both communication volume in the application and migration cost to move data, in order to minimize the overall cost. The use of a hypergraph-based model allows us to accurately model communication costs rather than approximate them with graph-based models. We show that the new model can be realized using hypergraph partitioning with fixed vertices and describe our parallel multilevel implementation within the Zoltan load balancing toolkit. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first implementation for dynamic load balancing based on hypergraph partitioning. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach, we conducted experiments on a Linux cluster with 1024 processors. The results show that, in terms of reducing total cost, our new model compares favorably to the graph-based dynamic load balancing approaches, and multilevel approaches improve the repartitioning quality significantly.

AB Using the unique quantitative capabilities of hyperspectral confocal microscopy combined with multivariate curve resolution, a comparative approach was employed to gain a deeper understanding of the different types of interactions of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) with biological membranes and cellular compartments. This approach allowed direct comparison of the dynamics and local effects of buforin II, magainin II, and arenicin with nanoporous silica bead supported bilayers and living E. coli. Correlating between experiments and comparing these responses have yielded several important discoveries for pursuing the underlying biophysics of bacteriocidal specificity and the connection between structure and function in various cellular environments. First, a novel fluorescence method for direct comparison of a model and living system is demonstrated by utilizing the membrane partitioning and environmental sensitivity of propidium iodide. Second, measurements are presented comparing the temporal dynamics and local equilibrium concentrations of the different antimicrobial agents in the membrane and internal matrix of the described systems. Finally, we discuss how the data lead to a deeper understanding of the roles of membrane penetration and permeabilization in the action of these AMPs.

AB Metallic fuel alloys consisting of uranium (U), plutonium (Pu), and zirconium (Zr) with minor additions of americium (Am) and neptunium (Np) are under evaluation for potential use to transmute long-lived transuranic actinide isotopes in fast reactors. The current irradiation test series design, designated Advanced Fuel Cycle-2 (AFC2), includes minor additions of rare earth (RE) elements to simulate expected fission product carryover from the electrochemical molten salt reprocessing technique. The as-cast fuel alloys have been investigated for phase and thermal properties; specifically, enthalpies of transition, transition temperatures, and room temperature phase characteristics. Results and observations related to these characteristics for the "fresh" fuel alloys are provided. The alloy compositions are based on a U-22Pu-4Am-2Np-40Zr alloy, along with additions of 1.3 and 1.9 at.% RE (at the expense of uranium where RE denotes rare earth alloy of cerium, lanthanum, praseodymium, and neodymium). Phase behavior and associated transitions have been compared to available U-Pu-Zr ternary diagrams with acceptable agreement. Enthalpies of transition were deconvoluted from heating and cooling thermal traces for relatively reliable values. The RE additions to the base alloy have a minimal influence on the room temperature phases present and phase transition temperatures, but the room temperature phases present did impact the enthalpies of transition.

AB We investigated the relationship between the average and local crystal structures and the ferroelectric properties of Bi2SiO5, Bi4Si3O12, or Bi2O3 added Sr1-xBi2+xTa2O9 (X = 0, 0.2) produced by a solid-state reaction. By measuring the P-E hysteresis, we found that Sr1-xBi2+xTa2O9 (X = 0, 0.2) has higher P-r and E-c than SrBi2Ta2O9 (SBT). P-r increased and E-c decreased by adding Bi2SiO5, Bi4Si3O12, or Bi2O3 to Sr1-xBi2+xTa2O9. The average crystal structures were determined by the Rietveld method. On the other hand, the local structure is important, because the ferroelectric property is related to the distortion, and ferroelectric complex oxides have domains. We also investigated the local crystal structure using atomic pair distribution function (PDF) analysis. Based on the results, the bond angle variance, sigma(2), of each TaO6 octahedron increased by substituting Si for the Ta site. The tilting angle, alpha(a),alpha(b), of each TaO6 octahedron increased relative to that of the average structure, and the symmetry of the TaO6 octahedron in the local structure deteriorated in comparison to that of the average structure. This distortion and symmetry of TaO6 contributes to the remanent polarization. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB We present an overview of recent results and developments of the no-core shell model (NCSM), an ab initio approach to the nuclear many-body problem for light nuclei. In this approach, we start from realistic two-nucleon or two-plus three-nucleon interactions. Many-body calculations are performed using a finite harmonic-oscillator (HO) basis. To facilitate convergence for realistic inter-nucleon interactions that generate strong short-range correlations, we derive effective interactions by unitary transformations that are tailored to the HO basis truncation. For soft realistic interactions, this might not be necessary. If this is the case, the NCSM calculations are variational. In either case, the ab initio NCSM preserves translational invariance of the nuclear many-body problem. In this review, we, in particular, highlight results obtained with the chiral two-plus three-nucleon interactions. We discuss efforts to extend the applicability of the NCSM to heavier nuclei and larger model spaces using importance-truncation schemes and/or use of effective interactions with a core. We outline an extension of the ab initio NCSM to the description of nuclear reactions by the resonating group method technique. A future direction of the approach, the ab initio NCSM with continuum, which will provide a complete description of nuclei as open systems with coupling of bound and continuum states, is given in the concluding part of the review.
