At this stage the time resolution and more importantly the contrast of the modulation at the detector is very low, nevertheless it was possible to perform a MISANS-measurement and test some features typical for a pulsed neutron source.

TI Neutron scattering study of the relaxor ferroelectric K1-xLixTaO3 SO NUCLEAR INSTRUMENTS & METHODS IN PHYSICS RESEARCH SECTION A-ACCELERATORS SPECTROMETERS DETECTORS AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT LA English DT Article DE Relaxor; Ferroelectric phonon mode; Polar nanoregion; Neutron scattering ID RAMAN-SCATTERING; TRANSITION; PHASE; KTAO3 AB Neutron scattering experiments using triple axis spectrometers have been performed for the relaxor ferroelectric materials K1-xLixTaO3 (x=0.05, 0.10) in order to study the behavior of the zone-center (ZC) transverse-optic (TO) phonon mode (ferroelectric mode). A major contrast between the x=0.05 and 0.10 samples is the ferroelectric transition-observed only for the latter material at T-c=115 K on warming and as detected by dielectric measurements and neutron diffraction. The ZC TO mode for x=0.05 shows monotonic softening with decreasing temperature down to 10 K, whereas the x=0.10 sample shows a phonon component below T-c which hardens with decreasing temperature in addition to a phonon mode which behaves similarly to that of the x=0.05 sample. This suggests a phase separation of the x=0.10 sample into ferroelectric and relaxor states below T-c, possibly originating from a percolative nature of the ferroelectric state.

This assumption is clearly only an approximation especially in the case of hydrogen bonding molecular liquids like liquid water and structural isotope effects have been measured with X-rays for more than 20 years. An analysis method of neutron isotope data is presented that avoids the necessity to assume structural equality and allows the determination of the isotope effect in the hydrogen-hydrogen partial structure factor of liquid water from neutron data. It is shown that a combination of X-ray and neutron scattering measurements allows in principle the determination of the isotope effects on all partial structure factors of liquid water.

TI Single-crystal neutron diffraction studies of hydrogen-bonded systems: Two recent examples from IPNS SO NUCLEAR INSTRUMENTS & METHODS IN PHYSICS RESEARCH SECTION A-ACCELERATORS SPECTROMETERS DETECTORS AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT LA English DT Article DE Crystal structure; Hydrogen bonding; Neutron diffraction; Single-crystal diffractometers ID X-RAY; CHARGE-DENSITY; TETRAACETYLETHANE; DIFFRACTOMETER; BENZOYLACETONE AB Beginning with work in the 1950s at the first generation of research reactors, studies of hydrogen-bonded systems have been a prime application for single-crystal neutron diffraction. The range of systems studied was extended in the 1960s and 1970s, with the advent of high flux reactor sources, and beginning around 1980 studies at pulsed neutron sources have made increasingly important contributions. Recently at the Argonne Intense Pulsed Neutron Source (IPNS), working with collaborators, we completed two studies of hydrogen-bonded systems that will serve to illustrate topics of current interest. In the first study, on andrographolide, an active diterpenoid natural product, our neutron diffraction results definitively characterize the hydrogen-bonding interactions. The second IPNS study is on tetra acetyl ethane (TAE), a beta-diketone enol system with a very short, strong intramolecular O-H...O hydrogen bond. At IPNS, we have determined the neutron crystal structure of TAE at five temperatures between 20 and 298 K to investigate changes in the structure with temperature and to probe for disorder. Despite the successes illustrated by the two examples presented here and by many other studies, at present applications of single-crystal neutron diffraction continue to be extremely flux limited and constrained by the requirement for mm-size crystals for many problems. These limitations are being addressed through the realization of powerful instruments at a new generation of pulsed neutron sources, including in the USA the TOPAZ and MaNDi single-crystal diffractometers; that are under development at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS).

We measured time-resolved neutron diffraction of 0.001-M KOD-doped D(2)O ice. We observed the growth of ice XI at 72-74 K. The mass fraction f(the ratio of mass of ice XI to that of the doped ice) linearly increased with time for about 2 days. The detransformed ice lh, obtained after warming above the transition temperature of 76 K retransformed to, ice XI at 66 K. The observed increase of f with time is in good agreement with the nucleation process of the ordering and the constant growth of the ordered domain. A large fraction of ice lh sample doped with sodium hydroxide changed to ice XI at 68 K. The results suggest that large quantities of ice on cold icy bodies in our solar system are able to transform to ice XI, which may be detectable by space telescope and planetary exploration.

A distant upstream insulating boundary is shown to stabilize the convective instability entirely while reducing the growth rate of the absolute instability. The reduction is less severe with greater height. After we model the boundary conditions properly, the wave patterns observed in the experiment turn out to be a noise-sustained convective instability. After the source of the noise resulting from unstable Ekman and Stewartson layers is switched off, a slowly decaying inertial oscillation is observed in the simulation. We reach the conclusion that the experiments completed to date have not yet reached the regime of absolute instability.

We provide a full reference for the data analysis procedures, present updated calibration of relations between the total cluster mass and its X-ray indicators (T(X), M(gas), and Y(X)) based on a subsample of low-z relaxed clusters, and present a first measurement of the evolving L(X) - M(tot) relation (with M(tot) estimated from Y(X)) obtained from a well defined statistically complete cluster sample and with appropriate corrections for the Malmquist bias applied. Finally, we present the derived cluster mass functions, estimate the systematic uncertainties in this measurement, and discuss the calculation of the likelihood function. We confidently measure the evolution in the cluster comoving number density at a fixed mass threshold, e.g., by a factor of 5.0 +/- 1.2 at M(500) = 2.5 x 10(14) h(-1) M(circle dot) between z = 0 and 0.5. This evolution reflects the growth of density perturbations, and can be used for the cosmological constraints complementing those from the distance-redshift relation. C1 [Vikhlinin, A.; Forman, W.

TI CHANDRA CLUSTER COSMOLOGY PROJECT III: COSMOLOGICAL PARAMETER CONSTRAINTS SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE cosmological parameters; cosmology: observations; galaxies: clusters: general; dark matter; surveys ID MASS-TEMPERATURE RELATION; RELAXED GALAXY CLUSTERS; DARK-MATTER HALOES; DIGITAL SKY SURVEY; X-RAY; POWER-SPECTRUM; ACCELERATING UNIVERSE; REDSHIFT SURVEY; LEGACY SURVEY; COSMIC SHEAR AB Chandra observations of large samples of galaxy clusters detected in X-rays by ROSAT provide a new, robust determination of the cluster mass functions at low and high redshifts. Statistical and systematic errors are now sufficiently small, and the redshift leverage sufficiently large for the mass function evolution to be used as a useful growth of a structure-based dark energy probe. In this paper, we present cosmological parameter constraints obtained from Chandra observations of 37 clusters with < z > = 0.55 derived from 400 deg(2) ROSAT serendipitous survey and 49 brightest z approximate to 0.05 clusters detected in the All-Sky Survey. Evolution of the mass function between these redshifts requires Omega(A) > 0 with a similar to 5 sigma significance, and constrains the dark energy equation-of- state parameter to omega(0) = -1.14 +/- 0.21, assuming a constant w and a flat universe. Cluster information also significantly improves constraints when combined with other methods. Fitting our cluster data jointly with the latest supernovae, Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe, and baryonic acoustic oscillation measurements, we obtain omega(0) = -0.991 +/- 0.045 (stat) +/- 0.039 (sys), a factor of 1.5 reduction in statistical uncertainties, and nearly a factor of 2 improvement in systematics compared with constraints that can be obtained without clusters. The joint analysis of these four data sets puts a conservative upper limit on the masses of light neutrinos Sigma m(v) < 0.33 eV at 95% CL. We also present updated measurements of Omega(M)h and sigma(8) from the low-redshift cluster mass function. C1 [Vikhlinin, A.; Forman, W. R.; Jones, C.; Murray, S.

TI THE EFFECTS OF THE pep NUCLEAR REACTION AND OTHER IMPROVEMENTS IN THE NUCLEAR REACTION RATE LIBRARY ON SIMULATIONS OF THE CLASSICAL NOVA OUTBURST SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE accretion, accretion disks; binaries: close; novae, cataclysmic variables ID THERMONUCLEAR REACTION-RATES; ASTROPHYSICAL S-FACTOR; X-RAY SOURCE; PRESOLAR GRAINS; WHITE-DWARFS; V1974 CYGNI; NUCLEOSYNTHESIS; EXPLOSIONS; HYDROGEN; OPACITIES AB Nova explosions occur on the white dwarf (WD) component of a cataclysmic variable binary stellar system which is accreting matter lost by its companion. When sufficient material has been accreted by the WD, a thermonuclear runaway (TNR) occurs and ejects material in what is observed as a classical nova (CN) explosion. We have continued our studies of TNRs on 1.25 M-circle dot and 1.35 M-circle dot WDs (ONeMg composition) under conditions which produce mass ejection and a rapid increase in the emitted light, by examining the effects of changes in the nuclear reaction rates on both the observable features and the nucleosynthesis during the outburst. In order to improve our calculations over previous work, we have incorporated a modern nuclear reaction network into our one-dimensional, fully implicit, hydrodynamic computer code. We find that the updates in the nuclear reaction rate libraries change the amount of ejected mass, peak luminosity, and the resulting nucleosynthesis. Because the evolutionary sequences on the 1.35 M-circle dot WD reach higher temperatures, the effects of library changes are more important for this mass. In addition, as a result of our improvements, we discovered that the pep reaction (p + e(-) + p -> d + nu) was not included in our previous studies of CN explosions (or to the best of our knowledge those of other investigators). Although the energy production from this reaction is not important in the Sun, the densities in WD envelopes can exceed 10(4) g cm(-3) and the presence of this reaction increases the energy generation during the time that the p-p chain is operating. Since it is only the p-p chain that is operating during most of the accretion phase prior to the final rise to the TNR, the effect of the increased energy generation is to reduce the evolution time to the peak of the TNR and, thereby, the accreted mass as compared to the evolutionary sequences done without this reaction included. As expected from our previous work, the reduction in accreted mass has important consequences on the characteristics of the resulting TNR and is discussed in this paper.

In 2008 August, the star was reported to have unexpectedly brightened yet again and we herein present the first detailed observations of this new outburst. Photometrically, the star is now as bright as it ever was following the 2003 eruption. Spectroscopically, a pronounced P Cygni profile is again seen in H alpha with an absorption trough extending to -700 km s(-1). In the near-infrared, the spectrum now possesses very weak CO overtone bandhead absorption in contrast to the strong bandhead emission seen soon after the 2003 event. Water vapor absorption is also much stronger than previously seen. We discuss the current outburst below and relate it to the earlier event.

Substantial effort is put internationally into designing this facility in order to achieve desired performance within the allotted budget. This accelerator is a secondary beam machine: neutrinos are produced by means of the decay of muons. Muons, in turn, are produced by the decay of pions, produced by hitting the target by a beam of accelerated protons suitable for acceleration. Due to the physics of this process, extra conditioning of the pion beam coming from the target is needed in order to effectively perform subsequent acceleration. The subsystem of the Neutrino Factory that performs this conditioning is called Front End, its main performance characteristic is the number of the produced muons. Evolutionary Algorithms demonstrated themselves as a reliable and efficient tool for exploration, optimization and ultimately decision-making during the design process. In this work we describe the scenario for the Neutrino Factory Front End production optimization via the GATool Evolutionary Algorithm implemented in COSY Infinity and discuss the results of this optimization.

The method to solve this problem uses the technique of normal form transformation. The proposed model for the nonlinear tune shift calculation is compared to both the numerical results for the nonlinear model of the Tevatron accelerator and the independent approximate formula for the tune shift by Meller et al.

The MOCVD precursors were Y(tmhd)(3) and Zr(tmhd)(4) (tmhd, 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedianato) and delivered via aerosol-assisted liquid delivery (AALD). The maximum YSZ coating rate was 14.2 +/- 13 mu m h(-1) at 827 degrees C yielding a layered coating microstructure. The growth was first-order with temperature below 827 degrees C with an apparent activation energy of 50.9 +/- 4.3 kJ mol(-1). Coating efficiency was a maximum of approximately 10% at the highest growth rate. While homogeneous nucleation remained a problem, the deposition of YSZ with only minor carbon content was achieved.

This study compares the crystal structures of NAGS from Neisseria gonorrhoeae (ngNAGS) in the inactive T-state with L-arginine bound and in the active R-state complexed with CoA and L-glutamate. Under all of the conditions examined, the enzyme consists of two stacked trimers. Each monomer has two domains: an amino acid kinase (AAK) domain with an AAK-like fold but lacking kinase activity and an N-acetyltransferase (NAT) domain homologous to other GCN5-related transferases. Binding of L-arginine to the AAK domain induces a global conformational change that increases the diameter of the hexamer by similar to 10 A and decreases its height by similar to 20 angstrom. AAK dimers move 5 angstrom outward along their 2-fold axes, and their tilt relative to the plane of the hexamer decreases by similar to 4 degrees. The NAT domains rotate similar to 109 degrees relative to AAK domains enabling new interdomain interactions. Interactions between AAK and NAT domains on different subunits also change. Local motions of several loops at the L-arginine-binding site enable the protein to close around the bound ligand, whereas several loops at the NAT active site become disordered, markedly reducing enzymatic specific activity.

TI An anisotropic scale-invariant unstructured mesh generator suitable for volumetric imaging data SO JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL PHYSICS LA English DT Article DE Computational fluid dynamics; Meshing biological structures; Delaunay ID SURFACE AB We present a boundary-fitted, scale-invariant unstructured tetrahedral mesh generation algorithm that enables registration of element size to local feature size. Given an input triangulated Surface mesh, a feature size field is determined by casting rays normal to the Surface and into the geometry and then performing gradient-limiting operations to enforce continuity of the resulting field. Surface mesh density is adjusted to be proportional to the feature size field and then a layered aniscitropic Volume mesh is generated. This mesh is "scale-invariant" in that roughly the same number of layers of mesh exist in mesh cross-sections, between a minimum scale size L(min) and a maximum scale size L,,,,x. We illustrate how this field can be used to produce quality grids for computational fluid dynamics based simulations of challenging, topologically complex biological surfaces derived from magnetic resonance images. The algorithm is implemented in the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) version of the Los Alamos grid toolbox LaGriT.

The second-order linear methods, Such as the multipoint flux approximation, mixed finite element and mimetic finite difference methods, are not monotone on strongly anisotropic meshes or for diffusion problems with strongly anisotropic coefficients. The finite volume (FV) method with linear two-point flux approximation is monotone but not even first-order accurate in these cases. The developed monotone method is based oil a nonlinear two-point flux approximation. It does not require any interpolation scheme and thus differs from other nonlinear finite volume methods based oil a two-point flux approximation. The second-order convergence rate is verified with numerical experiments. Published by Elsevier Inc.

First, materials are located in multi-material computational cells using a piecewise linear reconstruction of the volume fraction function. These material locator points are then used as generators to reconstruct the interface with a weighted Voronoi diagram that matches the volume fractions. The interfaces are then improved by minimizing an objective function that smoothes interface normals while enforcing convexity and volume constraints for the pure material subcells. Convergence tests are shown demonstrating second-order accuracy. Static and dynamic examples are shown illustrating the superior performance of the method over existing material-order-dependent methods. (c) 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

TI The Bipolar Filaments Formed by Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 SSB/Recombination Protein (ICP8) Suggest a Mechanism for DNA Annealing SO JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR BIOLOGY LA English DT Article DE herpes simplex virus; ICP8; electron microscopy; image analysis; filament ID SINGLE-STRANDED-DNA; ORIGIN-BINDING PROTEIN; HELICAL FILAMENTS; I ORIGIN; VISUALIZATION; POLYMERASE; COMPLEX; REGION; REPLICATION; IDENTIFICATION AB Herpes simplexvirus type I encodes a multifunctional protein, ICP8, which serves both as a single-strand binding protein and as a recombinase, catalyzing reactions involved in replication and recombination of the viral genome. In the presence of divalent ions and at low temperature, previous electron microscopic studies showed that ICP8 will form long left-handed helical filaments. Here, electron microscopic image reconstruction reveals that the filaments are bipolar, with an asymmetric unit containing two subunits of ICP8 that constitute a symmetrical dimer. This organization of the filament has been confirmed using scanning transmission electron microscopy. The pitch of the filaments is similar to 250 angstrom, with similar to 6.2 dimers per turn. Docking of a crystal structure of ICP8 into the reconstructed filament shows that the C-terminal domain of ICP8, attached to the body of the subunit by a flexible linker containing similar to 10 residues, is packed into a pocket in the body of a neighboring subunit in the crystal in a similar manner as in the filament. However, the interactions between the large N-terminal domains are quite different in the filament from that observed in the crystal. A previously proposed model for ICP8 binding single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), based upon the crystal structure, leads to a model for a continuous strand of ssDNA near the filament axis. The bipolar nature of the ICP8 filaments means that a second strand of ssDNA would be running through this filament in the opposite orientation, and this provides a potential mechanism for how ICP8 anneals complementary ssDNA into double-stranded DNA, where each strand runs in opposite directions.

TI Interaction between Supersonic Disintegrating Liquid Jets and Their Shock Waves SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article ID FUEL SPRAYS; X-RAY; INJECTION; SPEEDS AB We used ultrafast x radiography and developed a novel multiphase numerical simulation to reveal the origin and the unique dynamics of the liquid-jet-generated shock waves and their interactions with the jets. Liquid-jet-generated shock waves are transiently correlated to the structural evolution of the disintegrating jets. The multiphase simulation revealed that the aerodynamic interaction between the liquid jet and the shock waves results in an intriguing ambient gas distribution in the vicinity of the shock front, as validated by the ultrafast x-radiography measurements. The excellent agreement between the data and the simulation suggests the combined experimental and computational approach should find broader applications in predicting and understanding dynamics of highly transient multiphase flows.

The contribution to the electron linewidth arising from the electron-electron interactions varies significantly with wave vector at fixed energy; in contrast, the electron-phonon contribution is virtually wave vector independent. These two contributions are comparable in magnitude at a binding energy of similar to 0.2 eV, corresponding to the optical phonon energy. The calculated linewidths, with both electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions included, explain to a large extent the linewidths seen in recent photoemission experiments.

Both stretch modes are exceptionally long lived and exhibit a large "reverse" isotope effect, due to a phonon-assisted proton-tunneling process, which involves the O-Ta-O bending motion.

Schuetz, Gisela TI Vortex Core Switching by Coherent Excitation with Single In-Plane Magnetic Field Pulses SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article AB The response of magnetic vortex cores to subnanosecond in-plane magnetic field pulses was studied by time-resolved x-ray microscopy. Vortex core reversal was observed and the switching events were located in space and time. This revealed a mechanism of coherent excitation by the leading and trailing edges of the pulse, lowering the field amplitude required for switching. The mechanism was confirmed by micromagnetic simulations and can be understood in terms of gyration around the vortex equilibrium positions, displaced by the applied field.

TI Macroscopic 10-Terabit-per-Square- Inch Arrays from Block Copolymers with Lateral Order SO SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID THIN-FILMS; BOTTOM-UP; LITHOGRAPHY; GRAPHOEPITAXY; TEMPLATES; SURFACES; ROUTE AB Generating laterally ordered, ultradense, macroscopic arrays of nanoscopic elements will revolutionize the microelectronic and storage industries. We used faceted surfaces of commercially available sapphire wafers to guide the self- assembly of block copolymer microdomains into oriented arrays with quasi- long- range crystalline order over arbitrarily large wafer surfaces. Ordered arrays of cylindrical microdomains 3 nanometers in diameter, with areal densities in excess of 10 terabits per square inch, were produced. The sawtoothed substrate topography provides directional guidance to the self- assembly of the block copolymer, which is tolerant of surface defects, such as dislocations. The lateral ordering and lattice orientation of the single- grain arrays of microdomains are maintained over the entire surface. The approach described is parallel, applicable to different substrates and block copolymers, and opens a versatile route toward ultrahigh- density systems.

Faham, Malek TI High quality copy number and genotype data from FFPE samples using Molecular Inversion Probe (MIP) microarrays SO BMC MEDICAL GENOMICS LA English DT Article ID GENOME-WIDE; IDENTIFICATION ERRORS; COLORECTAL-CANCER; TUMOR-TISSUE; ARRAYS; HETEROZYGOSITY; CARCINOMA; ASSAY; GENE AB Background: A major challenge facing DNA copy number (CN) studies of tumors is that most banked samples with extensive clinical follow-up information are Formalin-Fixed Paraffin Embedded (FFPE). DNA from FFPE samples generally underperforms or suffers high failure rates compared to fresh frozen samples because of DNA degradation and cross-linking during FFPE fixation and processing. As FFPE protocols may vary widely between labs and samples may be stored for decades at room temperature, an ideal FFPE CN technology should work on diverse sample sets. Molecular Inversion Probe (MIP) technology has been applied successfully to obtain high quality CN and genotype data from cell line and frozen tumor DNA. Since the MIP probes require only a small (similar to 40 bp) target binding site, we reasoned they may be well suited to assess degraded FFPE DNA. We assessed CN with a MIP panel of 50,000 markers in 93 FFPE tumor samples from 7 diverse collections. For 38 FFPE samples from three collections we were also able to asses CN in matched fresh frozen tumor tissue. Results: Using an input of 37 ng genomic DNA, we generated high quality CN data with MIP technology in 88% of FFPE samples from seven diverse collections. When matched fresh frozen tissue was available, the performance of FFPE DNA was comparable to that of DNA obtained from matched frozen tumor (genotype concordance averaged 99.9%), with only a modest loss in performance in FFPE. Conclusion: MIP technology can be used to generate high quality CN and genotype data in FFPE as well as fresh frozen samples. C1 [Wang, Yuker; Carlton, Victoria E.

These assumptions are evaluated against three-dimensional high-resolution simulations from the Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) model during the monsoon period of the DOE Atmospheric Radiation Measurement ( ARM) Program Tropical Warm Pool-International Cloud Experiment ( TWP-ICE). Analyses of the WRF-generated updrafts suggest that the mass flux for a single updraft increases with height below the top of the conditionally unstable layer and decreases above. Detrainment may dominate above the conditionally unstable layer rather than only over a thin layer at the updraft top. It is argued that the assumed updraft mass flux profile in CAM3 might be unrealistic in many cases because the updraft acceleration is affected by other drag processes in addition to entrainment. Our analyses suggest that the CAM3-parameterized convection could be too active and, as a result, excess moisture and heat could be transported to the upper troposphere by the parameterized convection. Future improvement is envisioned. Citation: Wang, W., and X. Liu ( 2009), Evaluating deep updraft formulation in NCAR CAM3 with high-resolution WRF simulations during ARM TWP- ICE, Geophys. Res.

TI Classical and enriched finite element formulations for Bloch-periodic boundary conditions SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR NUMERICAL METHODS IN ENGINEERING LA English DT Article DE floquet waves; quantum mechanics; periodic boundary conditions; constraint equations; higher-order finite elements; partition of unity; enrichment ID ELECTRONIC-STRUCTURE CALCULATIONS; ELECTROMAGNETIC-WAVES; BAND-STRUCTURE; PARTITION AB In this paper, classical and enriched finite element (FE) formulations to impose Bloch-periodic boundary conditions are proposed. Bloch-periodic boundary conditions arise in the description of wave-like phenomena in periodic media. We consider the quantum-mechanical problem in a crystalline solid and derive the weak formulation and matrix equations for the Schrodinger and Poisson equations in a parallelepiped unit cell under Bloch-periodic and periodic boundary conditions, respectively. For such second-order problems, these conditions consist of value- and derivative-periodic parts. The value-periodic part is enforced as an essential boundary condition by construction of a value-periodic basis, whereas the derivative-periodic part is enforced as a natural boundary condition in the weak formulation. We show that the resulting matrix equations can be obtained by suitably specifying the connectivity of element matrices in the assembly of the global matrices or by modifying the Neumann matrices via row and column operations. The implementation and accuracy of the new formulation is demonstrated via numerical examples for the three-dimensional Poisson and Schrodinger equations using classical and enriched (partition-of-unity) higher-order FEs.

Results are compared to the more common analytical method for solving the same Bayesian inverse problem and applied to the same data set. The analytical method is more exact but because of computational limitations it can only constrain emissions over coarse regions. We find that the correction factors to the a priori CO emission inventory from the adjoint inversion are generally consistent with those of the analytical inversion when averaged over the large regions of the latter. The adjoint solution reveals fine-scale variability (cities, political boundaries) that the analytical inversion cannot resolve, for example, in the Indian subcontinent or between Korea and Japan, and some of that variability is of opposite sign which points to large aggregation errors in the analytical solution. Upward correction factors to Chinese emissions from the prior inventory are largest in central and eastern China, consistent with a recent bottom-up revision of that inventory, although the revised inventory also sees the need for upward corrections in southern China where the adjoint and analytical inversions call for downward correction. Correction factors for biomass burning emissions derived from the adjoint and analytical inversions are consistent with a recent bottom-up inventory on the basis of MODIS satellite fire data.

The resulting species are investigated by single-photon ionization with tunable VUV synchrotron radiation and mass analyzed using reflectron mass spectrometry. Photoionization efficiency (PIE) curves are recorded for SiO and SiO2, and ionization energy estimates are revealed from such measurements. A state-to-state ionization energy of 12.60 +/- 0.05 eV is recorded by fitting two prominent peaks in the PIE curve for the following process: (1)Sigma O-Si-O -> (IIg)-I-2 [O-Si-O](+). Electronic structure calculations aid in the interpretation of the photoionization process and allow for identification of the symmetric stretch of (IIg)-I-2 [O-Si-O](+), which is observed in the PIE spectrum to be 0.11 eV (890 cm(-1)) above the ground state of the cation and agrees with the 892 cm(-1) symmetric stretch frequency calculated at the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ level.

TI Chemical Changes in Liquid Benzene Multiply Shock Compressed to 25 GPa SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY A LA English DT Article ID TRANSIENT HIGH-PRESSURE; EQUATION-OF-STATE; RAMAN-SPECTROSCOPY; HEAT-CAPACITY; SMALL-VOLUME; X-RAY; HYDROCARBONS; NITROMETHANE; DIMERIZATION; POLYBUTENE AB Shock wave experiments utilizing stepwise-loading, with peak stresses ranging between 4 and 25 GPa, were performed to examine the dynamic high pressure response of liquid benzene at thermodynamic conditions not attainable in single shock experiments. Time-resolved Raman spectroscopy was used to monitor the molecular and chemical changes on sub-mu s time scales. Up to 20 GPa, the Raman modes showed pressure-induced shifting and broadening but no indication of a chemical change. At 24.5 GPa, however, the Raman modes become indistinguishable from an increasing background within 40 ns after the sample attained peak pressure, indicating a chemical change. A thermodynamically consistent equation of state (EOS) was developed to calculate the relevant thermodynamic variables in multiply shock compressed liquid benzene. Idealized molecular configurations were used in combination with the thermodynamic quantities in the shocked state to calculate the intermolecular separation between benzene molecules and to ascertain the likelihood of pi-orbital overlap. These idealized calculations show that sufficient energy and pi-orbital overlap exist in multiply shock compressed liquid benzene to permit intermolecular bonding at 24.5 GPa. Analysis of the Raman spectra, using the thermodynamic and intermolecular separation calculations, suggests that benzene undergoes polymerization through cycloaddition reactions. The rapid rate of polymerization is attributed to the benzene remaining in a liquid state on the sub-mu s experimental time scale. The results from the present work demonstrate the importance of time, pressure, temperature, and phase in chemical changes associated with pi-bonded molecules.

TI Temperature-Dependent Kinetics of the Vinyl Radical (C2H3) Self-Reaction SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY A LA English DT Article ID PHOTOIONIZATION CROSS-SECTIONS; RING-DOWN SPECTROSCOPY; EXCITED IODINE ATOMS; LASER-ABSORPTION-MEASUREMENTS; 193 NM PHOTOLYSIS; PROPARGYL RADICALS; MASS-SPECTROMETRY; QUANTUM YIELDS; RATE CONSTANTS; ALKYLPEROXY RADICALS AB The rate coefficient for the self-reaction of vinyl radicals has been measured by two independent methods. The rate constant as a function of temperature at 20 Torr has been determined by a laser-photolysis/laser absorption technique. Vinyl iodide is photolyzed at 266 nm , and both the vinyl radical and the iodine atom photolysis products are monitored by laser absorption. The vinyl radical concentration is derived from the initial iodine atom concentration, which is determined by using the known absorption cross section of the iodine atomic transition to relate the observed absorption to concentration. The measured rate constant for the self-reaction at room temperature is approximately a factor of 2 lower than literature recommendations. The reaction displays a slightly negative temperature dependence, which can be represented by a negative activation energy, (E-a/R) = -400 K. The laser absorption results are supported by independent experiments at 298 K and 4 Torr using time-resolved synchrotron-photoionization mass-spectrometric detection of the products of divinyl ketone and methyl vinyl ketone photolysis. The photoionization mass spectrometry experiments additionally show that methyl + propargyl are formed in the vinyl radical self-reaction, with an estimated branching fraction of 0.5 at 298 K and 4 Torr.

TI Adsorption of Amelogenin onto Self-Assembled and Fluoroapatite Surfaces SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY B LA English DT Article ID ATOMIC-FORCE MICROSCOPY; DYNAMIC LIGHT-SCATTERING; X-RAY-SCATTERING; IN-VITRO; ENAMEL MATRIX; HYDROXYAPATITE CRYSTALS; OCTACALCIUM PHOSPHATE; INTERACTION REGIMES; PROTEIN ADSORPTION; SOLID-SURFACES AB The interactions of proteins at surfaces are of great importance to biomineralizaton processes and to the development and function of biomaterials.,Amelogenin is a unique biomineralization protein because it self-assembles to form supramolecular structures called "nanospheres", spherical aggregates of monomers that are 20-60 nm in diameter. Although the nanosphere quaternary structure has been observed in solution, the quaternary structure of amelogenin adsorbed onto surfaces is also of great interest because the surface structure is critical to its function. We report studies of the adsorption of the amelogenin onto self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) with COON and CH(3) end group functionality and single crystal fluoroapatite (FAP). Dynamic light scattering (DLS) experiments showed that the solutions contained nanospheres and aggregates of nanospheres. Protein adsorption onto the various substrates was evidenced by null ellipsometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and external reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ERFTIR). Although only nanospheres were observed in solution, ellipsometry and atomic force microscopy (AFM) indicated that the protein adsorbates were much smaller structures than the original nanospheres, from monomers to small oligomers in size. Monomer adsorption was promoted onto the CH(3) surfaces, and small oligomer adsorption was promoted onto the COON and FAP substrates. In some cases, remnants of the original nanospheres adsorbed as multilayers on top of the underlying subnanosphere layers. Although the small structures may be present in solution even though they are not detected by DLS, we also propose that amelogenin may adsorb by the "shedding" or disassembling of substructures from the nanospheres onto the substrates. This work suggests that amelogenin may have a range of possible quaternary structures that interact with surfaces.

Comparison with predictions from Fe isotope shifts reveals that 70% of the NRVS signal in the 300-450 cm(-1) frequency range corresponds to vibrations resolved in Soret-enhanced Raman spectra. This frequency range dominates the "stiffness", an effective force constant determined by the Fe vibrational density of states (VDOS), which measures the strength of nearest-neighbor interactions with Fe. The stiffness of the low-spin Fe environment in both oxidation states of cyt c significantly exceeds that for the high-spin Fe in deoxymyoglobin, where the 200-300 cm(-1) frequency range dominates the VDOS. This situation is reflected in the shorter Fe-ligand bond lengths in the former with respect to the latter. The longer Fe-S(Met80) in oxidized cyt c. with respect to reduced cyt c leads to a decrease in the stiffness of the iron environment upon oxidation. Comparison with NRVS measurements allows us to assess assignments for vibrational modes resolved in this region of the heme Raman spectrum. We consider the possibility that the 372 cm(-1) band in reduced cyt c involves the Fe-S(Met80) bond. C1 [Leu, Bogdan M.; Ching, Tom H.; Sage, J.

To better understand how nanoparticles can be incorporated in such devices, the detailed relationship between the optical response and structural properties of single natioparticles is needed. Here we demonstrate that correlated localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) spectroscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) measurements can be used to obtain the optical response and detailed structural information for a single nanoparticle, using a silver (Ag) nanocube as the example. By carefully incorporating the HRTEM structural details into finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) electrodynamics calculations, excellent agreement with the LSPR measurements is obtained. The FDTD calculations show strong sensitivity between the nanocube optical response and the face-to-face width, corner and side rounding, and substrate of each cube, so careful determination of these parameters (I nm resolution) is needed if theory and experiment are to match. In addition, the comparison of theory and experiment enables us to study the relative merits of the Johnson and Christy and Lynch and Hunter Ag dielectric data for describing perfect crystalline nanoparticles.

Raman and UV-visible spectra showed that VO(x) species evolve from monovanadate to polyvanadate structures with increasing surface density with only traces of crystalline V(2)O(5). Oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of ethanol to acetaldehyde occurs at low temperatures (473-523 K) with high primary selectivities of CH(3)CHO (similar to 80%) on a catalyst with one theoretical polyvanadate monolayer. ODH turnover rates (per V-atom) increased with increasing VO(x) surface density for surface densities up to 7.2 V/nm(2), indicating that polyvanadate domain surfaces are more reactive than monovanadate structures. Similar trends were evident for alkane ODH reactions that also involve kinetically relevant H-abstraction steps within reduction-oxidation catalytic sequences. Turnover rates ultimately decreased at higher surface densities because of the incipient formation of three-dimensional structures. VO(x) domains of intermediate size therefore provide a compromise between site reactivity and accessibility during ethanol ODH. The effects of O(2) and C(2)H(5)OH pressures on ethanol ODH rates and the kinetic isotope effects for C(2)H(5)OD and C(2)D(5)OD confirmed the kinetic relevance of H-abstraction from ethoxide species formed in quasiequilibrated ethanol dissociation steps; taken together with in situ infrared spectra, these data also show that ethoxide species are present at near saturation coverages on fully oxidized VO(x) domains that undergo reduction-oxidation cycles during each ethanol oxidation turnover.

Such a difference is utilized to differentiate the exchanged Mo species from MoO3 agglomerates in Mo/H7-SM-5 catalysts and to readily estimate their relative fractions present in catalysts with varying Mo loading. A good linear correlation between the amount of zeolite exchanged species and the aromatics formation rate during catalytic methane dehydroaromatization is obtained. This result significantly strengthens our prior conclusion that the exchanged Mo species are the active centers for this reaction on Mo/HZSM-5 catalysts (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2008, 130, 3722-3723). Of more general interest for Mo-exchanged zeolites, the results may provide useful data for analyzing the binding of exchanged Mo species in zeolite cages. In particular, the NMR data suggest a possible saturation loading for the exchanged Mo species at a Mo/Al ratio of approximately 0.5 for the ZSM-5 zeolite used in this study (Si/Al = 25). Furthermore, for polycrystalline MoO3 powder samples, the parameters related to the electric field gradient (EFG) tensor, the chemical shift anisotropy (CSA), and the three Euler angles required to align the CSA principal axis system with the quadrupolar principal axis system are determined by analyzing both the magic angle spinning (MAS) and. static Mo-95 spectra. The new results obtained from this study on MoO3 powders should help to clarify some of the contradictions in prior literature reports of studies of Mo-containing solids by Mo-95 NMR.

TI The Fas-FADD death domain complex structure unravels signalling by receptor clustering SO NATURE LA English DT Article ID CELL-DEATH; MUTATIONAL ANALYSIS; APOPTOSIS; CD95; ARCHITECTURE; INFLAMMATION; INTERFACES; SPOTS AB The death inducing signalling complex ( DISC) formed by Fas receptor, FADD( Fas- associated death domain protein) and caspase 8 is a pivotal trigger of apoptosis(1-3). The Fas - FADD DISC represents a receptor platform, which once assembled initiates the induction of programmed cell death. A highly oligomeric network of homotypic protein interactions comprised of the death domains of Fas and FADD is at the centre of DISC formation(4,5). Thus, characterizing the mechanistic basis for the Fas - FADD interaction is crucial for understanding DISC signalling but has remained unclear largely because of a lack of structural data. We have successfully formed and isolated the human Fas - FADD death domain complex and report the 2.7 angstrom crystal structure. The complex shows a tetrameric arrangement of four FADD death domains bound to four Fas death domains. We show that an opening of the Fas death domain exposes the FADD binding site and simultaneously generates a Fas - Fas bridge. The result is a regulatory Fas - FADD complex bridge governed by weak protein - protein interactions revealing a model where the complex itself functions as a mechanistic switch. This switch prevents accidental DISC assembly, yet allows for highly processive DISC formation and clustering upon a sufficient stimulus. In addition to depicting a previously unknown mode of death domain interactions, these results further uncover a mechanism for receptor signalling solely by oligomerization and clustering events.

TI Artificial nanopores that mimic the transport selectivity of the nuclear pore complex SO NATURE LA English DT Article ID NUCLEOCYTOPLASMIC TRANSPORT; IMPORTIN-BETA; NUCLEOPORINS; PERMEABILITY; ARCHITECTURE; MECHANISM; MEMBRANES; REVEALS; REGIONS; SITES AB Nuclear pore complexes ( NPCs) act as effective and robust gateways between the nucleus and the cytoplasm, selecting for the passage of particular macromolecules across the nuclear envelope. NPCs comprise an elaborate scaffold that defines a similar to 30 nm diameter passageway connecting the nucleus and the cytoplasm. This scaffold anchors proteins termed 'phenylalanine- glycine' ( FG)- nucleoporins, the natively disordered domains of which line the passageway and extend into its lumen(1). Passive diffusion through this lined passageway is hindered in a size- dependent manner. However, transport factors and their cargo- bound complexes overcome this restriction by transient binding to the FG-nucleoporins(2-10). To test whether a simple passageway and a lining of transport- factor- binding FG- nucleoporins are sufficient for selective transport, we designed a functionalized membrane that incorporates just these two elements. Here we demonstrate that this membrane functions as a nanoselective filter, efficiently passing transport factors and transport- factor - cargo complexes that specifically bind FG- nucleoporins, while significantly inhibiting the passage of proteins that do not. This inhibition is greatly enhanced when transport factor is present. Determinants of selectivity include the passageway diameter, the length of the nanopore region coated with FG- nucleoporins, the binding strength to FG-nucleoporins, and the antagonistic effect of transport factors on the passage of proteins that do not specifically bind FG- nucleoporins. We show that this artificial system faithfully reproduces key features of trafficking through the NPC, including transport-factor-mediated cargo import.

Nevertheless, such channels are able to maintain efficient and selective transport. It has been proposed that attractive interactions between the transported molecules and the channel can increase the transport efficiency and that the selectivity of such channels can be based on the strength of the interaction of the specifically transported molecules with the channel. Herein, we study the transport through narrow channels in a framework of a general kinetic theory, which naturally incorporates multiparticle occupancy of the channel and non-single-file transport. We study how the transport efficiency and the probability of translocation through the channel are affected by interparticle interactions in the confined space inside the channel, and establish conditions for selective transport. We compare the predictions of the model with the available experimental data and find good semiquantitative agreement. Finally, we discuss applications of the theory to the design of artificial nanomolecular sieves. C1 [Zilman, Anton] Los Alamos Natl Lab, Theoret Biol & Biophys Grp, Los Alamos, NM 87545 USA.

Stevens, Robert W., Jr. TI Novel Regenerable Magnesium Hydroxide Sorbents for CO2 Capture at Warm Gas Temperatures SO INDUSTRIAL & ENGINEERING CHEMISTRY RESEARCH LA English DT Article ID PRESSURE-SWING ADSORPTION; ZEOLITES; OPTIMIZATION; CARBON; N-2 AB A novel sorbent consisting of Mg(OH)(2) was developed for carbon dioxide (CO2) capture at 200-315 degrees C suitable for CO2 capture applications such as coal gasification systems. Thermodynamic analysis conducted with the FactSage software package indicated that the Mg(OH)(2) sorbent system is highly favorable for CO2 capture up to 400 degrees C at 30 atm. MgCO3 formed during sorption decomposes to release CO2 at temperatures as low as 375 degrees C up to 20 atm. MgO rehydroxylation to form Mg(OH)(2) is possible at temperatures up to 300 degrees C at 20 atm. The experimental data show that the sorbent is regenerable at 375 degrees C at high pressure and that steam does not affect the sorbent performance. A multicycle test conducted in a high-pressure fixed-bed flow reactor at 200 degrees C with 28% CO2 showed stable reactivity during the cyclic tests. The capture capacity also increased with increasing pressure. The sorbent is unique because it exhibits a high CO2 capture capacity of more than 3 mol/kg at 200 degrees C and also is regenerable at a low temperature of 375 degrees C and high pressure. High-pressure regeneration is advantageous because the CO2 compression costs required for sequestration can be reduced.

TI Coulomb repulsion and correlation strength in LaFeAsO from density functional and dynamical mean-field theories SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICS-CONDENSED MATTER LA English DT Article ID 2-BAND HUBBARD-MODEL; WANNIER-FUNCTIONS; ELECTRONIC-STRUCTURE; SYSTEMS; PARAMETERS; BAND; SUPERCONDUCTIVITY; IMPURITIES; SPECTRA; METALS AB The LDA + DMFT (local density approximation combined with dynamical mean-field theory) computation scheme has been used to calculate spectral properties of LaFeAsO-the parent compound of the new high-T(c) iron oxypnictides. The average Coulomb repulsion (U) over bar and Hund's exchange J parameters for iron 3d electrons were calculated using the first-principles constrained density functional theory scheme in the Wannier functions formalism. Resulting values strongly depend on the number of states taken into account in the calculations: when the full set of O-2p, As-4p and Fe-3d orbitals and the corresponding bands are included, the interaction parameters (U) over bar = 3-4 eV and J = 0.8 eV are obtained. In contrast, when the basis set is restricted to the Fe-3d orbitals and bands only, the calculation gives much smaller values of (U) over bar = 0.5-0.6 eV, J = 0.5 eV. Nevertheless, DMFT calculations with both parameter sets and the corresponding basis sets result in a weakly correlated electronic structure that is in agreement with the experimental x-ray and photoemission spectra.

The ADA stacks can be expediently obtained in high yield as polycrystalline aggregates from solution. More remarkably, the high degree of organization has also been realized in a simple solid-to-solid mechanical grinding process. The solid-state structures have been verified by solid-state NMR spectroscopy, single crystal, and powder X-ray diffraction analysis. The current findings not only provide convenient ways of obtaining novel donor-acceptor stacks involving a macrocyclic host but also represent an important step in transferring electroactive host-guest systems from solution to the solid state.

By projecting a light pattern on the surface of the monolayer resist in an oxygen-rich environment, sticky and nonsticky regions on the surface are directly defined in a single-step process which then enables the highly specific and patterned transfer of the nanowires by the contact printing process, without the need for a subsequent lift-off step. This work demonstrates a simple route toward scalable, patterned printing of nanowires on substrates by utilizing light-tunable, nanoscale chemical interactions and demonstrates the versatility of molecular monolayers for use as a resist layer.

Divan, Ralu TI An in situ investigation of electromigration in Cu nanowires SO NANOTECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article ID THIN-FILMS; INTERCONNECTS; FAILURE; MICROSCOPY; DIFFUSION; GOLD; LINE AB Electromigration in copper (Cu) nanowires deposited by electron beam evaporation has been investigated using both resistance measurement and the in situ scanning electron microscopy technique. During electromigration, voids formed at the cathode end while hillocks ( or extrusions) grew close to the anode end. The failure lifetimes were measured for various applied current densities and the mean temperature in the wire was estimated. Electromigration activation energies of 1.06 eV and 0.94 eV were found for the wire widths of 90 nm and 141 nm, respectively. These results suggest that the mass transport of Cu during electromigration mainly occurs along the wire surfaces. Further investigations of the Auger electron spectrum show that both Cu atoms and the surface contaminants of carbon and oxygen migrate from cathode to anode under the electrical stressing.

The simulation results reveal that a rich variety of defect structures (vacancies, Stone-Wales defects and antisite defects) are formed with threshold energies from 11 to 64 eV. The threshold energy shows an anisotropic behavior and exhibits a dramatic decrease with decreasing tube diameter. The electronic structure can be altered by the defects formed by irradiation, which suggests that the electron irradiation may be a way to use defect engineering to tailor electronic properties of SiC nanotubes.

Bakowies, J. Chem. Phys. 127 (2007) 0841051 have been computed with an estimated standard deviation (from the values compiled in the Active Thermochemical Tables) of +/- 0.1 kJ/mol per valence electron in the molecule. Equilibrium geometries and harmonic vibrational frequencies were calculated at the all-electron CCSD(T)/cc-pCVTZ level, that is, at the level of coupled-cluster theory with singles, doubles and non-iterative triples in a correlation-consistent polarized core-valence triple-zeta basis. Single-point energy calculations were performed at the all-electron CCSD(T) level in a correlation-consistent polarized core-valence quadruple-zeta basis (cc-pCVQZ), and several corrections were added: (i) a correction for the basis-set truncation error, obtained from second-order perturbation theory using Slater-type geminals (MP2-F12 theory), (ii) a correction for the effect of anharmonicity on the zero-point vibrational energy, (iii) a relativistic correction, (iv) a correction for the difference between the full CCSDT model (coupled-cluster theory with singles, doubles and triples) and the CCSD(T) approximation, and (v) a correction for connected quadruple excitations obtained from CCSDT(Q) calculations. The correction for the basis-set truncation error was obtained from MP2-F12 calculations by scaling the MP2 basis-set truncation error by an empirically optimized "interference factor" of f(int) = 0.78. The reference values from the Active Thermochemical Tables for 73 molecules in the test set, the equilibrium geometries, the harmonic vibrational frequencies, and all of the energy corrections represent valuable data for performance assessments of additivity schemes that will be developed in the future, in which the basis-set truncation error will be calculated at the level of coupled-cluster theory using Slater-type geminals (CC-F12 theory). Such a scheme will be free of empirical corrections and scaling factors. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

To augment the extraordinary features based on sp-hybridization, we developed an approach to make CAWs be self-assembled and orderly organized on Au substrate. The self-assembling process was investigated in situ by using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM). The properties of the assembled film were characterized by voltammetry, Raman spectroscopy, electron energy loss spectroscopy ( EELS), and the contact angle measurements. Experimental results indicated that the assembled CAW film was of the good structural integrity and well organized, with the sp-hybridized features enhanced. (C) 2008 Elsevier B. V.

The p-type ZnO was fabricated on glass substrates by a low cost catalyst-free thermal evaporation process. The EXAFS measurement showed that the bonding length of Zn-O and Zn-Zn was increased after converting to p-type due to the incorporation of nitrogen atoms. The EXAFS analysis indicated that N atoms might exist as diatom form of N-N in ZnO film. (C) 2009 Published by Elsevier B. V.

TI Multimodel estimates of intercontinental source-receptor relationships for ozone pollution SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-ATMOSPHERES LA English DT Review ID EASTERN UNITED-STATES; REGIONAL AIR-QUALITY; MICS-ASIA-II; TROPOSPHERIC OZONE; SURFACE OZONE; CARBON-MONOXIDE; NORTH-AMERICA; MACE-HEAD; BACKGROUND OZONE; TRANSATLANTIC TRANSPORT AB Understanding the surface O-3 response over a "receptor" region to emission changes over a foreign "source" region is key to evaluating the potential gains from an international approach to abate ozone (O-3) pollution. We apply an ensemble of 21 global and hemispheric chemical transport models to estimate the spatial average surface O-3 response over east Asia (EA), Europe (EU), North America (NA), and south Asia (SA) to 20% decreases in anthropogenic emissions of the O-3 precursors, NOx, NMVOC, and CO (individually and combined), from each of these regions. We find that the ensemble mean surface O-3 concentrations in the base case (year 2001) simulation matches available observations throughout the year over EU but overestimates them by > 10 ppb during summer and early fall over the eastern United States and Japan. The sum of the O-3 responses to NOx, CO, and NMVOC decreases separately is approximately equal to that from a simultaneous reduction of all precursors. We define a continental-scale "import sensitivity" as the ratio of the O-3 response to the 20% reductions in foreign versus "domestic" (i.e., over the source region itself) emissions. For example, the combined reduction of emissions from the three foreign regions produces an ensemble spatial mean decrease of 0.6 ppb over EU (0.4 ppb from NA), less than the 0.8 ppb from the reduction of EU emissions, leading to an import sensitivity ratio of 0.7. The ensemble mean surface O-3 response to foreign emissions is largest in spring and late fall (0.7-0.9 ppb decrease in all regions from the combined precursor reductions in the three foreign regions), with import sensitivities ranging from 0.5 to 1.1 (responses to domestic emission reductions are 0.8-1.6 ppb). High O-3 values are much more sensitive to domestic emissions than to foreign emissions, as indicated by lower import sensitivities of 0.2 to 0.3 during July in EA, EU, and NA when O-3 levels are typically highest and by the weaker relative response of annual incidences of daily maximum 8-h average O-3 above 60 ppb to emission reductions in a foreign region(< 10-20% of that to domestic) as compared to the annual mean response (up to 50% of that to domestic). Applying the ensemble annual mean results to changes in anthropogenic emissions from 1996 to 2002, we estimate a Northern Hemispheric increase in background surface O-3 of about 0.1 ppb a(-1), at the low end of the 0.1-0.5 ppb a(-1) derived from observations. From an additional simulation in which global atmospheric methane was reduced, we infer that 20% reductions in anthropogenic methane emissions from a foreign source region would yield an O-3 response in a receptor region that roughly equals that produced by combined 20% reductions of anthropogenic NOx, NMVOC, and CO emissions from the foreign source C1 [Fiore, A.

The reaction of 3 with disodium maleonitriledithiolate (Na(2)Mnt) affords the chelating dithiolate compound Pt(mnt)(abpcd) (4). Compounds 2-4 have been fully characterized in solution by IR and NMR spectroscopies ((1)H and (31)P), and their molecular structures established by X-ray crystallography. The electrochemical properties of 2-4 have examined by cyclic voltammetry, and the nature of the HOMO and LUMO levels in these systems has been established by MO calculations at the extended Huckel level, the results of which are discussed with respect to electrochemical data and related diphosphine derivatives.

Appl. Phys. Lett. 2008, 92, 212506). The application of this technique to molecular paramagnets; requires the positioning and anchoring of paramagnetic molecules at surfaces. It also requires the possibility of tunneling high current densities into the STM -molecule-substrate tunneling junction. In this letter, we exploit the self-assembly of 1,10-phenantroline on the Au(111) surface to form a diamagnetic matrix that hosts individual molecules and dimers of diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH). STM measurements are used to characterize the molecular layer. Electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements elucidate the role of thermal annealing in the preservation of the paramagnetic nature of the DPPH molecules.

TI Photoinduced Formation of Zinc Nanoparticles by UV Laser Irradiation of ZnO SO LANGMUIR LA English DT Article ID OPTICAL PROPERTIES; OXIDE; REFLECTANCE; ABSORPTION; CRYSTALS; COLLOIDS; SYSTEMS; CAF2 AB Simple exposure of single-crystal ZnO to 193 nm excimer laser radiation at room temperature results in unexpected coloration. The gray to nearly black colored material, seen principally in the irradiated laser spot, is superficial. We present unambiguous evidence that this coloration is due to high densities of metallic Zn nanoparticles growing on the exposed surface of the crystal. Higher fluence laser exposure generates accumulated surface metal just outside of the irradiated spot. We suggest that the near surface bulk is photodecomposing; thermally driven diffusion leads to surface Zn metal aggregation. C1 [Khan, E. H.; Langford, S. C.; Dickinson, J.

These techniques are demonstrated to give unique, pore-size-specific insights into the kinetics Of CO2 sorption in a wide range of coal pores (nano to meso) and to provide data that may be used to determine the density of the sorbed CO2, We observed densification of the adsorbed CO2 by a factor up to five compared to the free fluid at the same (p, T) conditions. Our results indicate that details Of CO2 sorption into coal pores differ greatly between different coals and depend on the amount of mineral matter dispersed in the coal matrix: a purely organic matrix absorbs more CO2 per unit volume than one containing mineral matter, but mineral matter markedly accelerates the sorption kinetics. Small pores are filled preferentially by the invading CO2 fluid and the apparent diffusion coefficients have been estimated to vary in the range from 5 x 10(-7) cm(2)/min to more than 10(-4) cm(2)/min, depending on the CO2 pressure and location on the sample.

The cells were placed in buffer solution in a microfluidic device with electron transparent windows inside the vacuum of the electron microscope. A spatial resolution of 4 nm and a pixel dwell time of 20 mu s were obtained. The liquid layer was sufficiently thick to contain the cells with a thickness of 7 +/- 1 mu m. The experimental findings are consistent with a theoretical calculation. Liquid STEM is a unique approach for imaging single molecules in whole cells with significantly improved resolution and imaging speed over existing methods. C1 [de Jonge, N.; Kremers, G.

The LSMO layers exhibit a reduced Curie temperature compared to the bulk while antiferromagnetic order in the LSFO layers persists up to the bulk Neel temperature. Moreover, we find that aligning the LSMO magnetization by a magnetic field within the (001) surface plane leads to a reorientation of the Fe moments as well maintaining a perpendicular orientation of Fe and Mn moments. This perpendicular alignment is due to the frustrated exchange coupling at the LSMO/LSFO interface.

Fine lamellae were observed in bright field images that indicate a possible variation in composition due to the modulated nature of growth. In higher Ga content samples (x(Al)< 0.75), a compositional inhomogeneity associated with thicker island regions was observed, which is determined to be due to large Ga-rich areas formed at the base of the layer. Possible causes for the separation of Ga-rich material are discussed in the context of the growth regime used. C1 [Hawkridge, M.

TI Fe L- and K-edge XAS of Low-Spin Ferric Corrole: Bonding and Reactivity Relative to Low-Spin Ferric Porphyrin SO INORGANIC CHEMISTRY LA English DT Article ID X-RAY-ABSORPTION; ELECTRON-PARAMAGNETIC-RES; GROUND-STATE; CORRELATION-ENERGY; COPPER SITE; COMPLEXES; DENSITY; IRON; SPECTROSCOPY; MODEL AB Corrole is a tetrapyrrolic macrocycle that has one carbon atom less than a porphyrin. The ring contraction reduces the symmetry from D-4h to C-2v, changes the electronic structure of the heterocycle, and leads to a smaller central cavity with three protons rather than the two of a porphyrin. The differences between ferric corroles and porphyrins lead to a number of differences in reactivity including increased axial ligand lability and a tendency to form 5-coordinate complexes. The electronic structure origin of these differences has been difficult to study experimentally as the dominant porphyrin/corrole pi -> pi* transitions obscure the electronic transitions of the metal. Recently, we have developed a methodology that allows for the interpretation of the multiplet structure of Fe L-edges in terms of differential orbital covalency (i.e., the differences in mixing of the metal d orbitals with the ligand valence orbitals) using a valence bond configuration interaction model. Herein, we apply this methodology, combined with a ligand field analysis of the Fe K pre-edge to a low-spin ferric corrole, and compare it to a low-spin ferric porphyrin. The experimental results combined with DFT calculations show that the contracted corrole is both a stronger sigma donor and a very anisotropic pi donor. These differences decrease the bonding interactions with axial ligands and contribute to the increased axial ligand lability and reactivity of ferric corroles relative to ferric porphyrins.

TI Rayleigh anomaly-surface plasmon polariton resonances in palladium and gold subwavelength hole arrays SO OPTICS EXPRESS LA English DT Article ID EXTRAORDINARY OPTICAL-TRANSMISSION; THIN METAL-FILMS; LIGHT TRANSMISSION; NANOHOLE ARRAYS; GENERATION; CONSTANTS; SENSORS AB Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) and Rayleigh anomalies (RAs) are two characteristic phenomena exhibited by periodic grating structures made of plasmonic materials. For Au subwavelength hole arrays, SPPs and RAs from opposite sides of the film can interact under certain conditions to produce highly intense, narrow spectral features called RA-SPP resonances. This paper reports how RA-SPP effects can be achieved in subwavelength hole arrays of Pd, a weak plasmonic material. Well-defined resonances are observed in measured and simulated optical transmission spectra with RA-SPP peaks as narrow as 45 nm (FWHM). Dispersion diagrams compiled from angle-resolved spectra show that RA-SPP resonances in Pd hole arrays shift in wavelength but do not decrease significantly in amplitude as the excitation angle is increased, in contrast with RA-SPP peaks in Au hole arrays. The apparent generality of the RA-SPP effect enables a novel route to optimize resonances in non-traditional plasmonic media. (C) 2009 Optical Society of America C1 [Gao, H.; Odom, T.

By using a pump-probe experiment and collecting the transmitted pump along with the reflected pump and the broadband light generated by the optical breakdown, we measured the build-up time to optical breakdown as a function of the pulse energy, and we also observed the instability of the plasma due to the effect of defocusing and shielding created by the electron gas. The spectrum of the broadband light emitted by the optical breakdown and the origin of the material modification in BK7 glass was studied. We developed a simple model of electromagnetic wave propagation in plasma that is consistent with the observed behavior of the reflection, absorption, and transmission of the laser light.

TI Cation diffusion in magnesium aluminate spinel SO SOLID STATE IONICS LA English DT Article DE Spinel; Cation diffusion; Point defects; Computer simulation ID MGAL2O4 SPINEL; RADIATION-DAMAGE; DEFECT ENERGIES; DISORDER; KINETICS; IRRADIATION; PARAMETER; CRYSTALS; OXIDE; MG AB The mechanisms by which Mg(2+) and Al(3+) ions are transported through the MgAl(2)O(4) spinel lattice are investigated using atomic scale computer simulation. Both vacancy and interstitial cation processes are considered. Stable vacancies can be generated on either the magnesium or aluminium sublattices but the Mg(2+) and Al(3+) cation interstitials are most stable when located in split form with another Mg(2+) ion about a vacant Mg(2+) site. The pathways for diffusion of defects both via vacancy and interstitial mechanisms are analysed in detail with calculation of the energy barriers and the associated exponential prefactors. The results show that vacancies can be exchanged between the two sublattices resulting in the formation of antisite defects (though these processes have a high activation energy); that the Mg(2+) ions are more mobile than the Al(3+) ions and that the preferred mechanism for Al(3+) ion diffusion is via a vacancy mechanism on the magnesium sublattice. Although the calculated values of the prefactors can differ in size by an order of magnitude, in this system it is the relative size of the energy barriers that dominate the diffusion rates.

Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are desirable for their fuel versatility. Because high-temperature sintering is required for SOFCs, bulk and interfacial microstructural changes may occur in the cathode during fabrication. These changes influence device performance by affecting the various steps of the cathodic reaction and an increased understanding of this relationship may lead to more efficient SOFCs. Symmetric cells with various microstructures were formed using anneals at temperatures ranging from 1150 to 1325 degrees C for 1 h. Dual beam SEM/FIB (focused ion beam) was used to perform 3-D analysis of the microstructure. Microstructural features of emphasis include the triple phase boundary length (L(TPB)) and pore surface area. The results were compared with an AC impedance spectroscopy study focusing on charge transfer resistance and oxygen adsorption, A direct relationship between microstructural parameters from an actual cathode and the polarization resistance of the significant elementary steps of the cathodic reaction is established directly from experiment. It is found that both the charge transfer polarization resistance and the adsorption polarization resistance display a power law relationship with L(TPB) and pore surface area, respectively.

TI Nuclear Archeology in a Bottle: Evidence of Pre-Trinity US Weapons Activities from a Waste Burial Site SO ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY LA English DT Article ID URANIUM; ELEMENTS; ISOTOPES AB During World War II, the Hanford Site in Washington became the location for U.S. plutonium production. In 2004, a battle containing a sample of plutonium was recovered from a Hanford waste trench. Here, state-of-the-art instrumental analyses, reactor model simulations, and investigative science techniques were used to provide insights as to the origin of this unknown sample, a process collectively termed as nuclear archeology. Isotopic age dating conducted on the sample in 2007 indicated the sample was separated from the spent fuel 61.6 +/- 4.5 years earlier. The isotope (22)Na, a detectable product of a secondary nuclear reaction, proved useful as a powerful tool for nuclear forensic analysis as (1) an easily detectable signifier of the presence of a emitting actinides, (2) an indicator of sample splitting, and (3) a measure of the time since sample splitting. Analytical results of minor actinide isotopes and reactor model simulations confirmed the material originated from the X-10 reactor in Oak Ridge, TN. Corroborated by historical documents, we concluded this sample was part of the first batch of Pu separated at T-Plant, Hanford, the world's first industrial-scale reprocessing facility, on December 9, 1944. This sample represents the oldest known collection of man-made (239)Pu in the world.

TI Label-Free Separation of Human Embryonic Stem Cells and Their Cardiac Derivatives Using Raman Spectroscopy SO ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY LA English DT Article ID SINGLE LIVING CELLS; IN-VIVO DETECTION; CARDIOMYOCYTES; DIFFERENTIATION; TISSUE; DISCRIMINATION; IDENTIFICATION; CHROMOSOMES; INTEGRATION; MICROSCOPY AB Self-renewable, pluripotent human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) can be differentiated into cardiomyocytes (CMs), providing an unlimited source of cells for transplantation therapies. However, unlike certain cell lineages such as hematopoietic cells, CMs lack specific surface markers for convenient identification, physical separation, and enrichment Identification by immunostaining of cardiac-specific proteins such as troponin requires permeabilization, which renders the cells unviable and nonrecoverable. Ectopic expression of a reporter protein under the transcriptional control of a heart-specific promoter for identifying hESC-derived CMs (hESC-CMs) is useful for research but complicates potential clinical applications. The practical detection and removal of undifferentiated hESCs in a graft, which may lead to tumors, is also critical. Here, we demonstrate a nondestructive, label-free optical method based on Raman scattering to interrogate the intrinsic biochemical signatures of individual hESCs and their cardiac derivatives, allowing cells to be identified and classified. By combination of the Raman spectroscopic data with multivariate statistical analysis, our results indicate that hESCs, human fetal left ventricular CMs, and hESC-CMs can be identified by their intrinsic biochemical characteristics with an accuracy of 96%, 98%, and 66%, respectively. The present study lays the groundwork for developing a systematic and automated method for the noninvasive and label-free sorting of (i) high-quality hESCs for expansion and (ii) ex vivo CMs (derived from embryonic or adult stem cells) for cell-based heart therapies.

The radiated power enhancement of the fluorophores in proximity to aluminum nanoparticles is strongly dependent on the nanoparticle size, fluorophore-nanoparticle spacing, and fluorophore orientation. Additionally, the enhancement is dramatically increased when the fluorophore is between two aluminum nanoparticles of a dimer. Finally, we present experimental evidence that functionalized forms of amino acids tryptophan and tyrosine exhibit MEF when spm-coated onto aluminum nanostructures.

In this study the chemical composition of the organic constituents of biomass burning aerosol (BBA) samples is characterized by high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI/MS). Accurate mass measurement combined with Kendrick analysis allows assignment of the elemental composition for hundreds of compounds in the range of m/z values of 50-1000. ESI/MS spectra of different BBA samples contain a variety of distinct, sample specific, characteristic peaks that can be used as unique markers for different types of biofuels. Our results indicate that a significant number of high-MW organic compounds in BBA samples are highly oxidized polar species that can be efficiently detected using ESI/MS but are difficult to observe using conventional gas-chromatography/mass spectrometry analysis of aerosol samples. More than 70% of the identified species have not been reported in the literature. Detected organic compounds show a clear increase in the degree of saturation as the molecular weight of the analyte molecules increases. The increase is particularly pronounced for the samples containing a large number of the CH2-based homologous series.

Sequence alignments suggest that the sulfation of Tyr(154) is facilitated by a unique sequence context which is characteristically found in primate trypsinogens. In the search for genetic variants that might alter this sulfation motif, we identified a single nucleotide polymorphism (c.457G > C) in the PRSS2 (serine protease 2, human anionic trypsinogen) gene, which changed Asp(153) to a histidine residue (p.D153H). The p.D153H variant is common in subjects of African origin, with a minor allele frequency of 9.2%, whereas it is absent in subjects of European descent. We demonstrate that Asp(151) is the main determinant of tyrosine sulfation in anionic trypsinogen, as both the natural p.D153H variation and the p.D153N mutation result in a complete loss of trypsinogen sulfation. In contrast, mutation of Asp(156) and Glu(157) only slightly decrease tyrosine sulfation, whereas mutation of Gly(151) and Pro(155) has no effect. With respect to the biological relevance of the p.D153H variant, we found that tyrosine sulfation had no significant effect on the activation of anionic trypsinogen or the catalytic activity and inhibitor sensitivity of anionic trypsin. Taken together with previous studies, the observations of the present study suggest that the primary role of trypsinogen sulfation in humans is to stimulate autoactivation of PRSS1 (serine protease 1, human cationic trypsinogen), whereas the sulfation of anionic trypsinogen is unimportant for normal digestive physiology. As a result, the p.D153H polymorphism which eliminates this modification could become widespread in a healthy population.

The depth resolution of RBS allowed for measurement of nuclide concentration of the diffuse double-layer, electrode surface and near-surface regions. ECRBS measurements on the gold electrode, initially exposed to -500 mV vs. a platinum pseudo-reference electrode, in a potassium iodide solution, showed an increase in the 2.07 MeV iodine peak indicative of iodine adsorption. The surface concentration of the iodine adlayer was directly measured by ECRBS to be 1.3 +/- 0.3 nmol/cm(2). ECRBS measurements on a gold electrode exposed to 1.5 V vs. a platinum pseudo-reference electrode, in a potassium iodide solution display a decrease in the 2.16 MeV gold peak and a shift to lower energies. Scanning electron microscopy images of electrodes studied by ECRBS displayed roughened surfaces consistent with gold dissolution. This work demonstrates the potential for in situ ECRBS using thin-film silicon nitride windows to become a powerful tool for the investigation of a wide range of electrochemical processes in areas such as corrosion, electrodeposition and electrocatalysis.

The impedance was measured in the frequency range from 0.1 Hz to 40 kHz at different DC voltages and the results fitted to an equivalent electrical circuit. Despite the complexity of the conductive UNCD surface, composed of sp(3)-bonded grains and grain boundaries with a high content of sp(2)-bonded carbon atoms, a Randles circuit with a constant phase element (CPE) for the capacitive element provided a reasonable model for both terminations. However, the parameters of the CPE were very different for each termination. Taking into account the results obtained, we propose that the interfacial impedance of oxidized UNCD is dominated by the oxidized sp(2)-bonded Carbon atoms present at the grain boundaries, and the interfacial impedance of hydrogen-terminated UNCD is governed by both the grain boundaries and the grains.

Results showed that majority of Cr(VI) mass was easily removed from the sediments (equilibrium site K(d) varied from 0 to 0.33 mL g(-1) and equilibrium site fraction was greater than 95%). Long tailings of time-dependent Cr(VI) concentrations above maximum contaminant level of 1.9 mu mol L(-1) were also observed (kinetically controlled fraction K(d) and desorption reaction half-lives varied from 0 to 45 mL g(-1), and from 76.1 to 126 h, respectively). Microscopic: and spectroscopic measurements confirmed that Cr was concentrated within fine-grained coatings in small areas mainly rich in phyllosilicates that contained both Cr(III) and Cr(VI). However, Cr(VI) reduction was neither significant nor complete. Under slightly alkaline and oxic conditions, contaminant Cr in the sediments occurred: (i) In the highly mobile pool (over 95% of total Cr); (ii) In the slow and time-dependent releasing pool, which served as long-term source of contamination; (iii) As reduced Cr(III) which most likely formed during Cr(VI) reaction with aqueous, sorbed, or structural Fe(II).

This flux was consistent with theoretical predictions based on the rate of water exchange of hexaaquo Fe2+. Interestingly, when compared to published data, the pH-dependent dissolution flux of FeO defined an upper limit for the reductive dissolution fluxes of iron(III) (oxyhydr)oxides, including bacterial dissimilatory iron reduction (DIR). A wide range of dissolution fluxes across several orders of magnitude has been reported for iron(Ill) (oxyhydr)oxides in the literature and the fluxes were affected by various experimental variables, e.g., pH, ligands, chemical reductants, and bacteria. We concluded that (i) the reductive dissolution fluxes of iron(III) (oxyhydr)oxides, including bacterial DIR, are ultimately bracketed by the detachment rate of reduced Fe(II) from the surface and (ii) the maximum flux can be approached when the mole fraction of reduced Fe(II) at the surface is close to unity.

We use an electric power system model to explicitly evaluate the change in generator dispatches resulting from PHEV deployment in the Texas grid, and apply fixed and non-parametric estimates of generator emissions rates, to estimate the resulting changes in generation emissions. We find that by using the flexibility of when vehicles may be charged, generator efficiency can be increased substantially. By changing generator dispatch, a PHEV fleet of LIP to 15% of light-duty vehicles can actually decrease net generator NO, emissions during the ozone season, despite the additional charging load. By adding V2G services, such as spinning reserves and energy storage, CO(2), SO(2), and NO(x) emissions can be reduced even further.

Pinot noir: Phenolics SO FOOD CHEMISTRY LA English DT Article DE Grape quality; Phenolics; Biotic stress ID ANTHOCYANINS; BERRY; POLYPHENOLS; CULTIVARS; INFECTION; COMPLEX; YIELD; WINES AB Some of the 10 known grapevine leafroll associated viruses (GLRaVs) have negative impacts upon vine productivity and grape quality, though these negative influences are dependent on factors Such as GLRaV strain, cultivar, clone, rootstock, and vine age. This is the first study to report on GLRaV-2 and GLRaV-3 infected vines, with regard to phenolic compounds, and other fruit maturity indices, of 'Pinot noir' grapes, compared to berries from adjacent vines free of GLRaVs (same vineyards). Three different rootstock/scion combinations were included in this study. Clusters were collected for two growing seasons from commercial vineyards in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, and each vine sampled was tested for GLRaV-1, -2, -3 and Rupestris stem pitting-associated virus (RSPaV). All sampled vines were infected with RSPaV. Grapevine leafroll associated virus-infected vines tested positive for GLRaV-2 or GLRaV-3. Overall, fruit infected with GLRaV-2 and -3 had reduced percent soluble solids, decreased individual and total anthocyanins, and increased skin and pulp weight for all three 'Pinot noir' rootstock/sci on combinations examined. Vitis riparia rootstock/'Pinot noir' clone 114 scion combination appeared to be the most sensitive to GLRaV-3 infection, having significant reduction of all five anthocyanins, total phenolics, and total tannins, with an increased cluster weight and 100-berry weight. No clear trends were observed in the polyphenolics analysed. Published by Elsevier Ltd. C1 [Lee, Jungmin] PWA, USDA ARS, Hort Crops Resl Unit, Parma, ID 83660 USA.

TI Structural characterization of terrestrial microbial Mn oxides from Pinal Creek, AZ SO GEOCHIMICA ET COSMOCHIMICA ACTA LA English DT Article ID BIOGENIC MANGANESE OXIDES; MARINE BACILLUS SP.; X-RAY-FLUORESCENCE; STRAIN SG-1; HEXAGONAL-BIRNESSITE; NATURAL SPECIATION; PSEUDOMONAS-PUTIDA; MN(II) OXIDATION; HYPORHEIC ZONE; ARIZONA AB The microbial catalysis of Mn(II) oxidation is believed to be a dominant source of abundant sorption- and redox-active Mn oxides in marine, freshwater, and subsurface aquatic environments. In spite of their importance, environmental oxides of known biogenic origin have generally not been characterized in detail from a structural perspective. Hyporheic zone Mn oxide grain coatings at Pinal Creek, Arizona, a metals-contaminated stream, have been identified as being dominantly microbial in origin and are well studied from bulk chemistry and contaminant hydrology perspectives. This site thus presents an excellent opportunity to study the structures of terrestrial microbial Mn oxides in detail. XRD and EXAFS measurements performed in this study indicate that the hydrated Pinal Creek Mn oxide grain coatings are layer-type Mn oxides with dominantly hexagonal or pseudo-hexagonal layer symmetry. XRD and TEM measurements suggest the oxides to be nanoparticulate plates with average dimensions on the order of 11 nm thick x 35 nm diameter, but with individual particles exhibiting thickness as small as a single layer and sheets as wide as 500 nm. The hydrated oxides exhibit a 10-angstrom basal-plane spacing and turbostratic disorder. EXAFS analyses Suggest the oxides contain layer Mn(IV) site vacancy defects, and layer Mn(III) is inferred to be present, as deduced from Jahn Teller distortion of the local structure. The physical geometry and structural details of the coatings suggest formation within microbial biofilms. The biogenic Mn oxides are stable with respect to transformation into thermodynamically more stable phases over a time scale of at least 5 months. The nanoparticulate layered structural motif, also observed in pure culture laboratory studies, appears to be characteristic of biogenic Mn oxides and may explain the common occurrence of this mineral habit in soils and sediments.

The surface-area-normalized-bacterial Fe(III) reduction rate for the larger nanoparticles (99 nm) was one order of magnitude higher than the rate observed for the smallest nanoparticles (11 nm). The Fe(III) reduction rates for the 12, 30, and 43 nm nanoparticles fell between these two extremes. Whole-cell TEM images showed that the mode of Fe(2)O(3) nanoparticle attachment to bacterial cells was different for the aggregated, pseudo-hexagonal/irregular and platey 11, 12, and 99 nm nanoparticles compared to the non-aggregated 30 and 43 nm rhombohedral nanoparticles. Due to differences in aggregation, the 11, 12, and 99 nm nanoparticles exhibited less cell contact and less cell coverage than did the 30 and 43 nm nanoparticles. We hypothesize that S. oneidensis MR-1 employs both indirect and direct mechanisms of electron transfer to Fe(III)-oxide nanoparticles and that the bioreduction mechanisms employed and Fe(III) reduction rates depend on the nanoparticles' aggregation state, size, shape and exposed crystal faces.

The spectral dependence of the optical cross section for hole photoemission from a deep level was determined from the initial value of the photocurrent transient. Unlike other implementations of photocurrent, the present method does not require multiple excitation sources or determination of the optical emission rate. A deep level was observed at E(v)+1.84 eV, where E(v) is the valence band maximum, with a Franck-Condon shift of 0.25 eV. A bias-dependent component of the photocurrent, possibly due to metal-semiconductor interface states, complicated the steady-state response but did not affect the measured spectrum for the E(v)+1.84 eV deep level. This photocurrent method is expected to be readily extended to materials with very deep dopants, such as p-type AlGaN, for which many other deep level spectroscopy techniques are unsuited.

The model is formulated in terms of rate constants, some of which can be determined independently from time-resolved spectroscopy and others estimated from measured light yield efficiency as a constraint assumed to apply in each kinetic order. The rates and parameters are used in the theory to calculate scintillation yield versus primary electron energy for comparison to published experimental results on four scintillators. Influence of the track radius on the yield is also discussed. Results are found to be qualitatively consistent with the observed scintillation light yield. The theory can be applied to any scintillator if the rates of the radiative and nonradiative processes are known. C1 [Bizarri, G.; Moses, W.

A Si-Ge MEAM interatomic cross potential was developed based on available experimental data and was used for these studies. The atomic distortions and strain distributions near the Si/Ge interfaces are predicted for nanowires with their axes oriented along the [111] direction. The cases of 10 and 25 nm diameter Si/Ge biwires and of 25 nm diameter Si/Ge/Si axial heterostructures with the Ge disk 1 nm thick were studied. Substantial distortions in the height of the atoms adjacent to the interface were found for the biwires but not for the Ge disks. Strains as high as 3.5% were found for the Ge disk and values of 2%-2.5% were found at the Si and Ge interfacial layers in the biwires. Deformation potential theory was used to estimate the influence of the strains on the band gap, and reductions in band gap to as small as 40% of bulk values are predicted for the Ge disks. The localized regions of increased strain and resulting energy minima were also found within the Si/Ge biwire interfaces with the larger effects on the Ge side of the interface. The regions of strain maxima near and within the interfaces are anticipated to be useful for tailoring band gaps and producing quantum confinement of carriers. These results suggest that nanowire heterostructures provide greater design flexibility in band structure modification than is possible with planar layer growth. C1 [Swadener, J. G.; Picraux, S.

Anders, Andre TI Physical limits for high ion charge states in pulsed discharges in vacuum SO JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS LA English DT Article DE charge exchange; discharges (electric) ID MAGNETIC-FIELD; ARC PLASMAS; DISTRIBUTIONS; PRESSURE AB Short-pulse high-current discharges in vacuum were investigated with the goal to maximize the ion charge state number. In a direct extension of previous work [G. Y. Yushkov and A. Anders, Appl. Phys. Lett. 92, 041502 (2008)], the role of pulse length, rate of current rise, and current amplitude was studied. For all experimental conditions, the usable (extractable) mean ion charge state could not be pushed beyond 7+. Instead, a maximum of the mean ion charge state (about 6+ to 7+ for most cathode materials) was found for a power of 2-3 MW dissipated in the discharge gap. The maximum is the result of two opposing processes that occur when the power is increased: (i) the formation of higher ion charge states and (ii) a greater production of neutrals (both metal and nonmetal), which reduces the charge state via charge exchange collisions.

Traditional Au/TiO(2) catalysts rapidly sinter to form large 13.9 nm gold clusters under these annealing conditions. This surprising stability of Au/SiO(2) is attributed to the absence of residual impurities (ensured by the halide-free production method) and a strong bond between gold and defects at the silica surface (about 3 eV per bond) estimated from density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The Au/SiO(2) catalysts are less active for CO oxidation than the prototypical Au/TiO(2) catalysts, however they can be regenerated far more easily, allowing the activity of a catalyst to be fully recovered after deactivation.

Addition of small amounts of Nb (<5%) stabilizes 40% of the loaded platinum as Pt2+, which remains oxidized even after reduction treatments. This Nb-promoted catalyst is very active and selective for the PROX reaction. On Pt/Nb2O5 and at high Nb loading for the Pt/Nb/Al2O3 catalysts, the selectivity to CO2 decreases and the selectivity for H-2 oxidation increases opposite to the selectivity observed at low Nb loadings. The increase CO2 selectivity due to Nb promotion is ascribed to the inhibition of CO at low temperature which decreases hydrogen oxidation. Operando FTIR results indicate the presence of adsorbed CO as well as carbonates, bicarbonates and formates during the PROX reaction. An IR band at 968 cm(-1) indicates the presence of Nb=O moieties at low Nb loadings. At higher Nb loadings, IR suggests the formation of three-dimensional Nb2O5 aggregates. The surface of the Nb containing catalysts is complex containing reduced and oxidized Pt which is modified by NbOx species either surrounding the Pt crystallites or decorating them.

The experimentally-determined R. for the oxidized anion (n = 12) and its 2-, 4- and 10-electron reduced forms following the course of exhaustive electrolyses with a reticulated vitreous carbon electrode polarized at -0.145, -0.255. and -0,555V vs. Ag/AgCl, respectively, is independent of reduction(and charge) under the solution conditions employed here. Within the limits of resolution and precision of our in situ measurements and analyses, +/- 0.2 angstrom, we have found that the R(g) is 5.8-6.0 angstrom, which is in agreement with R(g)s calculated from the atomic coordinates of previously reported crystallographic structures for the solid-state salts of the fully-oxidized cluster, [Y(3+)P(5)W(30)O(110)](12) (abbreviated [YPA](12)). The equivalence indicates that any modification of the P-W-O structure that may arise upon reduction of the Preyssler anion is too small to affect the R(g), Moreover, the identical, experimentally-determined R(g)s (5.9 +/- 0.1 angstrom) for the oxidized solution anions of [La(3+)PA](12), [Ca(2+)PA](13), [Sr(2+)PA](13-), and [Na(+)PA](14-) further demonstrate that the size of metal-ion-exchanged Preyssler anions, [M(n+)PA](n-15), is independent of the charge, n, on M and, hence, the overall cluster charge, n-15. This provides an ideal scenario with which to test the Born model of electrostatic ion solvation, wherein the electrochemical potential difference, Delta E(1)(0), between the first reduction couples of [M(n+)PA](11-15) anions that differ by a unit charge (for M(n) (-)Na(+), Ca(2+), Sr(2+), Y(3+), La(3+), Th(4+)) was used in a derivation of the original Born equation to calculate their Born radius, r. The result, 6.0(2) angstrom, is equivalent to the effective radius calculated for a charged ellipsoid in a dielectric medium (r(eff)infinity 5.9 angstrom), thereby providing validation of the Born model.

In a recent experimental study, the foam volume responded dramatically when the rate of temperature-increase varied frorn 5 to 15 degrees C/min. This observation indicates that an enhanced temperature-increase rate (a natural consequence of the increased processing rate experienced as a result of the transition to oxy-fuel firing) may exert a substantial influence on glass foaming in advanced glass-melting furnaces.

Multilayered PyC/SiC fiber coating and matrix infiltration within fiber-tows were prepared with isothermal/isobaric CVI (ICVI) method and full-densification of SiC matrix was examined with NITE methods using four kinds of processing options. Applied pressure was useful for nearly-full matrix densification due to the promoting infiltration driving force of SiC nano-powder intra-fiber-tows, but simultaneously caused the sever degradation of fibers and interphase with fracture, resulting in lower strength. Increase of additives amount and additional polymer were effective ways for matrix densification by SiC nano-power infiltration intra-fiber bundles without pressure. Thermal conductivity was greatly improved with the decrease of matrix porosity. The tailoring of thermo-mechanical properties might be easily controlled by the SiC matrix porosity without process-induced fibers and interphases degradations. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.

TI UO2 corrosion in an iron waste package SO JOURNAL OF NUCLEAR MATERIALS LA English DT Article ID SPENT NUCLEAR-FUEL; RAY-ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY; GOETHITE ALPHA-FEOOH; ZERO-VALENT IRON; X-RAY; GREEN RUST; HEMATITE ALPHA-FE2O3; SURFACE COMPLEXATION; REDOX REACTIONS; STEEL SURFACES AB In order to investigate the interactions between spent nuclear fuel, corroding iron waste packages, and water under conditions likely to be relevant at the proposed repository at Yucca Mountain, six small-scale waste packages were constructed. Each package differed with respect to water input, exposure to the atmosphere and temperature. Two of the packages contained 0.19 UO2. Simulated Yucca Mountain process water (YMPW) was injected into five of the packages at a rate of 200 W per day for up to 2 years, at which point the solids were characterized with X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, wet chemistry and electron microprobe analysis. Fe(II) is abundant in the corrosion products that form, and the dominant crystalline product in all cases according to X-ray diffraction is magnetite or the structurally similar maghemite. Minor phases included akaganeite (beta-FeOOH) and possibly also hematite (Fe2O3), lepidocrocite (gamma-FeOOH) and green rust (Fe(II)(1-x)Fe(III)(x)(OH)(2)Y-x/n). Under these conditions, UO2 is expected to alter to the uranyl silicate uranophane (Ca[(UO2)SiO3(OH)](2)center dot 5H(2)O). Neither oxidation of the UO2 nor any oxidized (uranyl) solid was observed, suggesting that conditions were sufficiently reducing to kinetically hinder U(IV) oxidation. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.

TI Microbial biofilm growth on irradiated, spent nuclear fuel cladding SO JOURNAL OF NUCLEAR MATERIALS LA English DT Article ID CORROSION; RADIATION; BACTERIA; ALLOYS AB A fundamental criticism regarding the potential for microbial influenced corrosion in spent nuclear fuel cladding or storage containers concerns whether the required microorganisms can, in fact, survive radiation fields inherent in these materials. This study was performed to unequivocally answer this critique by addressing the potential for biofilm formation, the precursor to microbial-influenced corrosion, in radiation fields representative of spent nuclear fuel storage environments. This study involved the formation of a microbial biofilm on irradiated spent nuclear fuel cladding within a hot cell environment. This was accomplished by introducing 22 species of bacteria, in nutrient-rich media, to test vessels containing irradiated cladding sections and that was then surrounded by radioactive source material. The overall dose rate exceeded 2 Gy/h gamma/beta radiation with the total dose received by some of the bacteria reaching 5 x 10(3) Gy. This study provides evidence for the formation of biofilms on spent-fuel materials. and the implication of microbial influenced corrosion in the storage and permanent deposition of spent nuclear fuel in repository environments.

X-ray diffraction patterns of the as-prepared materials were fitted based on a hexagonal unit cell (alpha-NaFeO2 layer structure). The extent of Li/Ni intermixing decreased, and layering of the structure increased, with increasing Cr content. Electrochemical cycling of the oxides, at 30 degrees C in the 3-4.3 V range vs. Li/Li+, showed that the first charge capacity increased with increasing Cr content. However, maximum discharge capacity (similar to 143 mAh g(-1)) was observed for 2x = 0.05. X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopic (XANES) measurements on the K-edges of transition metals were carried out on pristine and delithiated oxides to elucidate the charge compensation mechanism during electrochemical charging. The XANES data revealed simultaneous oxidation of both Ni and Cr ions, whereas manganese remains as Mn4+ throughout, and does not participate in charge compensation during oxide delithiation.

The adsorption of amino acids has been confirmed by XANES analysis. Moreover, a clear energy shift of the C Is to pi(c=o)* peak for glycine adsorbed on SWCNTs has been identified and assigned to the interaction between the amino acid and SWCNTs.

The purpose of this study is to quantify the mechanical response and the microstructural evolution of as-annealed and cryogenically rolled copper loaded dynamically in shear and to understand the mechanisms controlling shear deformation as well as the role of stored defects due to cryo-rolling on shear localization. It was found that localization is promoted in the cryo-rolled copper as compared to the as-annealed material and this instability is linked to stored defect structure specific to the cryo-rolled microstructure and its influence on the subsequent defect generation and storage in dynamically loaded Cu.

The room temperature deposition of FePc alone, without any annealing, results in no ordered overlayers. However, posterior annealing the substrate to 475 K leads to the formation of a two-dimensional oblique lattice with the lattice constants of 16.2 +/- 0.3 angstrom and the angle of 78 +/- 1 degrees between them. The resulting FePc lattice is commensurate to the substrate lattice. In addition, the nearest neighbor distance in the lattice is significantly increased through a distinctive molecular orientation of the FePc molecules within the unit cell. The commensurate lattice with a large intermolecular distance is in sharp contrast to that observed from a close-packed square lattice that many other metallo-phthalocyanine molecules often self-assemble into. A possible reasoning behind this intriguing structure is discussed. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. C1 [Manandhar, K.; Park, K. T.] Baylor Univ, Dept Phys, Waco, TX 76798 USA.

A rapid, simple, microgravity-compatible technique for measuring this contaminant in water Supplies using colorimetric-solid phase extraction (C-SPE) is described. This method involves collecting a water sample into a syringe by passage through a cartridge that contains sodium hydroxide, to adjust pH, and Purpald, which is a well-established colorimetric reagent for aldehydes. After completing the reaction in the syringe by agitating for 2 min on a shaker at 400 rpm, the 1.0-mL alkaline sample is passed through an extraction disk that retains the purple product. The amount of concentrated product is then measured on-disk using diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and compared to a calibration plot generated from Kubelka-Munk transformations of the reflectance data at 700nm to determine the formaldehyde concentration. This method is capable of determining formaldehyde concentrations from 0.08 to 20 ppm with a total work-up time of less than 3 min using only 1-ml. samples. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.

TI High-speed, temperature programmable gas chromatography utilizing a microlfabricated chip with an improved carbon nanotube stationary phase SO TALANTA LA English DT Article DE Gas chromatography; Carbon nanotubes; Microfabricated; High-speed; Resistively heated ID DUAL-VALVE INJECTION; MICROFABRICATED CHANNELS; CHEMOMETRIC ANALYSIS AB A new growth recipe for producing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) combined with a new bonding technique was implemented in a microfabricated gas chromatography (micro-GC) chip. Specifically, the micro-GC chip contained a 30-cm (length) microfabricated channel with a 50 mu m x 50 mu m square cross-section. A CNT stationary phase "mat" was grown on the bottom of the separation channel prior to the chip bonding. Injections onto the micro-CC chip were made using a previously reported high-speed diaphragm valve technique. A FID was used for detection with a high-speed electrometer board. All together, the result was a highly efficiency, temperature programmable (via low thermal mass, rapid on-chip resistive heating) micro-GC chip. In general, the newly designed micro-GC chip can be operated at significantly lower temperature and pressure than our previously reported micro-GC chip, while producing excellent chemical separations. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images show a relatively thin and uniform mat of nanotubes with a thickness of similar to 800 nm inside the channel. The stationary phase was further characterized using Raman spectroscopy. The uniformity of the stationary phase resulted in better separation efficiency and peak symmetry (as compared to our previous report) in the separation of a mixture of five n-alkanes (n-hexane. n-octane, n-nonane, n-decane and n-undecane). The on-chip resistive heater employing a temperature programming rate of 26 degrees C/s produced a peak capacity of eight within a 1.5-s time window. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The experimental line shape has been described using a model based on the memory function formalism. Two main relaxations, the thermal and the structural one, were observed in all the investigated systems. We found that the microscopic mechanism driving the structural relaxation clearly changes, being mainly governed by intermolecular bond rearrangements below the critical temperature and by binary collisions above it. Moreover, we observed that the relative weight of the thermal relaxation systematically increases on approaching the critical temperature, thus allowing for the observation of a transition from an adiabatic to an isothermal regime of sound propagation. Finally, we found the presence of an additional instantaneous relaxation, likely related to the coupling between collective vibrational modes and intramolecular degrees of freedom.

The spectra show well resolved transitions to the X (2)Pi neutral ground state of all three species and to the a (4)Sigma(-) excited state of C2N and C4N. This study yields the adiabatic electron affinity of C2N, C4N, and C6N, the spin-orbit splitting in the X (2)Pi state of each radical, and the term energy of the a (4)Sigma(-) state in C2N and C4N. Relatively little vibrational activity is observed, indicating small geometry changes upon photodetachment. This result, plus the observation of transitions to neutral quartet states, indicates that the C2nN- (n=1-3) anions all have linear (3)Sigma(-) ground states.

Ab initio study of tensile elasticity and failure in single-molecule polyisoprene and polybutadiene SO JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL PHYSICS LA English DT Article DE ab initio calculations; elasticity; fracture; rubber; tensile strength ID COVALENT BOND; DYNAMICS; STRENGTH; STRESS; DEFORMATION; SILOXANES; MODULUS; POLYMER; CHAIN; MODEL AB We present ab initio calculations of the internal C-C bond dissociation curve for single molecules of (cis-1,4) polyisoprene and polybutadiene. We define "bond rupture" as that point on the reaction coordinate where the unrestricted Kohn-Sham, or diradical, solution falls below the restricted, or closed-shell, solution. Using this definition, we find that rupture occurs at a tensile force of 6.8 nN for polyisoprene and 7.2 nN for polybutadiene. Their respective rupture strains are 45% and 42%. Our calculations show that the energy density versus extension is not sensitive to the number of isoprene units contained in the molecule, i.e., it is essentially independent of the chain length. These relatively large rupture strains have important implications for understanding the failure mechanism in rubber, and imply that purely enthalpic chain stretching must commence well before tensile failure occurs.

TI Effects of soot-induced snow albedo change on snowpack and hydrological cycle in western United States based on Weather Research and Forecasting chemistry and regional climate simulations SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-ATMOSPHERES LA English DT Article ID GENERAL-CIRCULATION MODELS; ATMOSPHERIC AEROSOLS; NORTHERN-HEMISPHERE; SURFACE ALBEDO; DIRTY SNOW; COVER; PARAMETERIZATION; PRECIPITATION; ICE; IMPLEMENTATION AB Radiative forcing induced by soot on snow is an important anthropogenic forcing affecting the global climate. In this study we simulated the deposition of soot aerosol on snow and the resulting impact on snowpack and the hydrological cycle in the western United States. A year-long simulation was performed using the chemistry version of the Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF-Chem) to determine the soot deposition, followed by three simulations using WRF in meteorology-only mode, with and without the soot-induced snow albedo perturbations. The chemistry simulation shows large spatial variability in soot deposition that reflects the localized emissions and the influence of the complex terrain. The soot-induced snow albedo perturbations increase the surface net solar radiation flux during late winter to early spring, increase the surface air temperature, and reduce the snow accumulation and spring snowmelt. These effects are stronger over the central Rockies and southern Alberta, where soot deposition and snowpack overlap the most. The indirect forcing of soot accelerates snowmelt and alters stream flows, including a trend toward earlier melt dates in the western United States. The soot-induced albedo reduction initiates a positive feedback process whereby dirty snow absorbs more solar radiation, heating the surface and warming the air. This warming causes reduced snow depth and fraction, which further reduces the regional surface albedo for the snow-covered regions. For a doubled snow albedo perturbation, the change to surface energy and temperature is around 50-80%; however, snowpack reduction is nonlinearly accelerated.

We consider two data assimilation methods, direct insertion and a kriging-based approach, and perform a forecasting study focused on a 2-month period in spring 1998 when a large storm caused substantial amounts of sediment resuspension and horizontal sediment transport in the lake. By beginning with the simplest possible forecast method and sequentially adding complexity we are able to assess the improvements offered by combining the satellite data with the numerical model. In our application, we find that data assimilation schemes that include both the data and the lake dynamics improve forecast root mean square error by 40% over purely model-based approaches and by 20% over purely data-based approaches.

Thus, the selection of the methods used to determine adsorption isotherm data and to evaluate the errors made is critical. Three chromatographic methods were evaluated, frontal analysis (FA), frontal analysis by characteristic point (FACP), and the pulse or perturbation method (PM), and their accuracies were compared. Using the equilibrium-dispersive (ED) model of chromatography. breakthrough curves of single components were generated corresponding to three different adsorption isotherm models: the Langmuir, the bi-Langmuir, and the Moreau isotherms. For each breakthrough curve, the best conventional procedures of each method (FA, FACP, PM) were used to calculate the corresponding data point, using typical values of the parameters of each isotherm model, for four different values of the column efficiency (N = 500,1000, 2000, and 10,000). Then, the data points were fitted to each isotherm model and the corresponding isotherm parameters were compared to those of the initial isotherm model. When isotherm data are derived with a chromatographic method, they may suffer from two types of errors: (1) the errors made in deriving the experimental data points from the chromatographic records; (2) the errors made in selecting an incorrect isotherm model and fitting to it the experimental data. Both errors decrease significantly with increasing column efficiency with FA and FACP, but not with PM. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Sda directly inhibits sporulation histidine kinases in response to DNA damage and replication defects. We determined a 2.0-angstrom-resolution X-ray crystal structure of the intact cytoplasmic catalytic core [comprising the dimerization and histidine phosphotransfer domain (DHp domain), connected to the ATP binding catalytic domain] of the Geobacillus stearothermophilus sporulation kinase KilB complexed with Sda. Structural and biochemical analyses reveal that Sda binds to the base of the DHp domain and prevents molecular transactions with the DHp domain to which it is bound by acting as a simple molecular barricade. Sda acts to sterically block communication between the catalytic domain and the DHp domain, which is required for autophosphorylation, as well as to sterically block communication between the response regulator Spo0F and the DHp domain, which is required for phosphotransfer and phosphatase activities.

Based on sequence and functional similarity, it was believed that their three-dimensional structures will also be similar. Indeed, the crystal structures of BoNTs A and B exhibit similar fold and domain association where the translocation domain is flanked on either side by binding and catalytic domains. Here, we report the crystal structure of BoNT E holotoxin and show that the domain association is different and unique, although the individual domains are similar to those of BoNTs A and B. In BoNT E, both the binding domain and the catalytic domain are on the same side of the translocation domain, and all three have mutual interfaces. This unique association may have an effect on the rate of translocation, with the molecule strategically positioned in the vesicle for quick entry into cytosol. Botulism, the disease caused by BoNT E, sets in faster than any other serotype because of its speedy internalization and translocation, and the present structure offers a credible explanation. We propose that the translocation domain in other BoNTs follows a two-step process to attain translocation-competent conformation as in BoNT E. We also suggest that this translocation-competent conformation in BoNT E is a probable reason for its faster toxic rate compared to BoNT A. However, this needs further experimental elucidation.

TI Thermally or Magnetically Induced Polarization Reversal in the Multiferroic CoCr2O4 SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article ID FERROELECTRIC POLARIZATION; SCATTERING; COBALT AB We report the unexpected evolution, with thermal and magnetic-field (H) variations, of the interrelation between the polarization P, magnetization M, and spiral wave vector Q in CoCr2O4, which has a ferrimagnetic conical-spiral magnetic order. For example, P suddenly jumps and changes its sign at the magnetic lock-in transition (T-L) with thermal variation, or with isothermal variation of H (without changing its direction) at T-L, which surprisingly occurs without change in spiral handedness (i.e., the sign of Q). The presence of multiple spiral sublattices may be behind this unusual behavior. C1 [Choi, Y. J.; Cheong, S-W.] Rutgers Ctr Emergent Mat, Piscataway, NJ 08854 USA. [Okamoto, J.; Huang, D.

Atomically resolved STM images reveal that a (root 2 X root 2)R45 degrees reconstructed surface and a (1 X 1) surface can be converted back and forth through adsorption and desorption of oxygen at the surface. The electrical properties of the surfaces are investigated by scanning tunneling spectroscopy. I - V curves clearly show that the presence of an oxygen overlayer renders the surface insulating while the (1 X 1) surface without the oxygen overlayer is metallic.

TI Nonambipolar Transport by Trapped Particles in Tokamaks SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article ID TOROIDAL-MOMENTUM DISSIPATION; BANANA-DRIFT TRANSPORT; PLASMA; CONFINEMENT; DIFFUSION; SYSTEMS; RIPPLE AB Small nonaxisymmetric perturbations of the magnetic field can greatly change the performance of tokamaks through nonambipolar transport. A number of theories have been developed, but the predictions were not consistent with experimental observations in tokamaks. This Letter provides a resolution, with a generalized analytic treatment of the nonambipolar transport. It is shown that the discrepancy between theory and experiment can be greatly reduced by two effects: (1) the small fraction of trapped particles for which the bounce and precession rates resonate; (2) the nonaxisymmetric variation in the field strength along the perturbed magnetic field lines rather than along the unperturbed magnetic field lines. The expected sensitivity of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor to nonaxisymmetries is also discussed.

TI Spillway-Induced Salmon Head Injury Triggers the Generation of Brain alpha II-Spectrin Breakdown Product Biomarkers Similar to Mammalian Traumatic Brain Injury SO PLOS ONE LA English DT Article AB Recent advances in biomedical research have resulted in the development of specific biomarkers for diagnostic testing of disease condition or physiological risk. Of specific interest are alpha II-spectrin breakdown products (SBDPs), which are produced by proteolytic events in traumatic brain injury and have been used as biomarkers to predict the severity of injury in humans and other mammalian brain injury models. This study describes and demonstrates the successful use of antibody-based mammalian SBDP biomarkers to detect head injury in migrating juvenile Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) that have been injured during passage through high-energy hydraulic environments present in spillways under different operational configurations. Mortality and injury assessment techniques currently measure only near-term direct mortality and easily observable acute injury. Injury-based biomarkers may serve as a quantitative indicator of subacute physical injury and recovery, and aid hydropower operators in evaluation of safest passage configuration and operation actions for migrating juvenile salmonids. We describe a novel application of SBDP biomarkers for head injury for migrating salmon. To our knowledge, this is the first documented cross-over use of a human molecular biomarker in a wildlife and operational risk management scenario.

TI Observation of Unconventional Quantum Spin Textures in Topological Insulators SO SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID PHASE; STATE; WELLS AB A topologically ordered material is characterized by a rare quantum organization of electrons that evades the conventional spontaneously broken symmetry- based classification of condensed matter. Exotic spin- transport phenomena, such as the dissipationless quantum spin Hall effect, have been speculated to originate from a topological order whose identification requires a spin- sensitive measurement, which does not exist to this date in any system. Using Mott polarimetry, we probed the spin degrees of freedom and demonstrated that topological quantum numbers are completely determined from spin texture- imaging measurements. Applying this method to Sb and Bi1-xSbx, we identified the origin of its topological order and unusual chiral properties. These results taken together constitute the first observation of surface electrons collectively carrying a topological quantum Berry's phase and definite spin chirality, which are the key electronic properties component for realizing topological quantum computing bits with intrinsic spin Hall- like topological phenomena.

TI Structural Basis of Murein Peptide Specificity of a gamma-D-Glutamyl-L-Diamino Acid Endopeptidase SO STRUCTURE LA English DT Article ID BACTERIAL CELL-WALLS; L-ALANINE AMIDASE; BACILLUS-SUBTILIS; CYSTEINE PROTEASES; ESCHERICHIA-COLI; LISTERIA-MONOCYTOGENES; CHAP DOMAIN; GENE; PROTEIN; IDENTIFICATION AB The crystal structures of two homologous endopeptidases from cyanobacteria Anabaena variabilis and Nostoc punctiforme were determined at 1.05 and 1.60 angstrom resolution, respectively, and contain a bacterial SH3-like domain (SH3b) and a ubiquitous cell-wall-associated NIpC/P60 (or CHAP) cysteine peptidase domain. The NIpC/P60 domain is a primitive, papain-like peptidase in the CA clan of cysteine peptidases with a Cys126/His176/His188 catalytic triad and a conserved catalytic core. We deduced from structure and sequence analysis, and then experimentally, that these two proteins act as gamma-D-glutamyl-L-diamino acid endopeptidases (EC 3.4.22.-). The active site is located near the interface between the SH3b and NlpC/P60 domains, where the SH3b domain may help define substrate specificity, instead of functioning as a targeting domain, so that only muropeptides with an N-terminal L-alanine can bind to the active site.

S. The simulation realistically captured the mean and extreme precipitation, and the precipitation/temperature anomalies of all the atmospheric river events between 1980-1999. Contrasting the 1986 President Day and 1997 New Year Day events, differences in atmospheric stability have an influence on the spatial distribution of precipitation. Although both cases yielded similar precipitation, the 1997 case produced more runoff. Antecedent soil moisture, rainfall versus snowfall, and existing snowpack all seem to play a role, leading to a higher runoff to precipitation ratio for the 1997 case. This study underscores the importance of the atmospheric rivers and land surface conditions for predicting heavy precipitation and floods in the current and future climate of the western U.S. Citation: Leung, L.

Using photoelectron imaging, we observed the effects of ICR on photoelectron angular distributions (PAD) of the three isomers of benzene dicarboxylate dianions C6H4(CO2)(2)(2-) (o-, in- and p-BDC2-). Photoelectrons were observed to peak along the laser polarization due to the ICR, but the anisotropy was the largest for p-BDC2-, followed by the in- and o-isomer. The observed anisotropy is related to the direction of the ICR or the detailed molecular structures, suggesting that photoelectron imaging may allow structural information to be obtained for complex multiply charged anions.

We measured tunneling current-distance (I-s) profiles across the nanoscale space between Au STM tips and the basal (001) surface of a hematite (alpha-Fe2O3) crystal and compared them to the case in which an intervening small tetraheme cytochrome (STC) from Shewanella oneidensis was covalently linked to the end of the Au tip. Tunneling profiles were collected at constant surface potentials in solutions having a range of ionic strengths. For the case without intervening cytochrome, at short tip-sample separation, the distance dependence of the tunneling current shows a quasi-linear behavior, whereas at longer distances, near-exponential decay is observed. The different regions can be understood first in terms of reduction of interfacial water and ion layers in the electrical double layer associated with the hematite surface, followed by electron tunneling through bulk water. The effective tunneling range and the transition between the two conduction mechanisms are substantially increased when STC is present in the tunneling junction, suggesting that cytochrome molecules provide enhanced tunneling pathways and stronger electronic coupling to the hematite surface. On the basis of these results, cytochrome-mediated electron transfer during bacterial metal reduction may be possible at distances farther than originally speculated. In addition, as multiheme cytochromes and other similar molecules gain attention for their promising role in fuel cells and molecular electronics, we demonstrate that the solution conditions and surface properties of the substrate must be carefully considered.

The adsorption of NO2 on BaO at room temperature and the subsequent decomposition of the thus formed Ba(NOx)(2) species follow the same mechanisms we have reported previously for NO2 adsorption at cryogenic temperatures. In cyclic experiments when the BaO film was exposed to NOx- at 300 K, followed by annealing to 575 K, a large amount of NOx was stored as nitrates, and no saturation was achieved even after the 10th adsorption/anneal cycle. This suggests the gradual conversion of the BaO film into barium nitrate clusters at elevated temperatures. The rate of nitrate formation increases as the sample temperature during NO2 exposure increases up to 610 K, while at even higher temperatures the amount of nitrates formed decreases. NO2 adsorption on the thick BaO film at 610 K results in the formation of strongly bound nitrates as the major NOx species.

TI Quantum Optics with Nanocrystal Quantum Dots in Solution: Quantitative Study of Clustering SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY C LA English DT Article ID FLUORESCENCE CORRELATION SPECTROSCOPY; CADMIUM SELENIDE NANOCRYSTALS; SEMICONDUCTOR NANOCRYSTALS; CDSE NANOCRYSTALS; IN-VIVO; BLINKING; INTERMITTENCY; GAIN AB Applying a combination of traditional fluorescence correlation spectroscopy and antibunching measurements to solutions of nanocrystal quantum dots (NQDs), we can reliably establish the regime where only one dot or less is present in the detection volume. Under these conditions, it is possible to probe various photophysical properties of colloidal nanocrystals with single-dot sensitivity in their "native" solution environment. We apply this method to quantitative studies of NQD aggregation. By first measuring dilute Rhodamine 590 solutions that have no aggregation, we find that the clustering parameter, < n > (the average number of quantum emitters per diffusing cluster), can be determined with better than 5% accuracy. We then use this technique to quantify clustering of CdSe NQDs prepared either as toluene or aqueous solutions. On the basis of the correlation data, NQDs exhibit minimal aggregation (< n > is less than 1.1-1.2) in fresh as-prepared solutions for both aqueous and nonaqueous systems. On the other hand, sample aging leads to considerable increase in the degree of aggregation as indicated by increased values of < n >. For example, in a sample of biotinylated NQDs aged for 120 days the number of two-dot aggregates becomes approximately equal to that of isolated NQDs. The ability to study single dots in solutions, demonstrated here, opens interesting opportunities for both biorelated research and also for studies of fundamental photophysics of nanocrystals, especially the effects of environment on electronic structures and carrier relaxation behaviors.

TI ChIP-seq accurately predicts tissue-specific activity of enhancers SO NATURE LA English DT Article ID TRANSCRIPTION-FACTOR-BINDING; CONSERVED NONCODING SEQUENCES; EMBRYONIC STEM-CELLS; HUMAN GENOME; REGULATORY ELEMENTS; GENE DESERTS; CHROMATIN; IDENTIFICATION; VERTEBRATE; CONSTRAINT AB A major yet unresolved quest in decoding the human genome is the identification of the regulatory sequences that control the spatial and temporal expression of genes. Distant- acting transcriptional enhancers are particularly challenging to uncover because they are scattered among the vast non- coding portion of the genome. Evolutionary sequence constraint can facilitate the discovery of enhancers, but fails to predict when and where they are active in vivo. Here we present the results of chromatin immunoprecipitation with the enhancer- associated protein p300 followed by massively parallel sequencing, and map several thousand in vivo binding sites of p300 in mouse embryonic forebrain, midbrain and limb tissue. We tested 86 of these sequences in a transgenic mouse assay, which in nearly all cases demonstrated reproducible enhancer activity in the tissues that were predicted by p300 binding. Our results indicate that in vivo mapping of p300 binding is a highly accurate means for identifying enhancers and their associated activities, and suggest that such data sets will be useful to study the role of tissue- specific enhancers in human biology and disease on a genome- wide scale.

Present-day and preindustrial simulations are performed and compared for two scenarios. In the first scenario, the homogeneous freezing of sulfate particles dominates cirrus cloud formation in the upper troposphere (HOM). In the second scenario, both homogeneous and heterogeneous ice nucleation and their competition (HET) are allowed. In the HOM scenario, anthropogenic sulfate results in a global annual mean change of long-wave cloud forcing (LWCF) of 0.20 +/- 0.09 W m(-2) and short-wave cloud forcing (SWCF) of 0.30 +/- 0.17 W m(-2) and an increase of upper tropospheric/lower stratospheric (UT/LS) water vapor by similar to 10%. In the HET scenario, anthropogenic soot may increase global cirrus cloud cover by similar to 2% and UT/LS water vapor by 40% with a change in LWCF of 1.5 W m(-2) (with 1.35 +/- 0.15 W m(-2) from surface soot and 0.12 +/- 0.17 W m(-2) from aircraft soot) if soot acts as efficient ice nuclei (IN) with a threshold ice nucleation RHi of 120-130%. Aerosol effects are most evident (larger than natural variability) over polar regions. However, their influence is significantly reduced if soot has a threshold RHi of 140% with an LWCF change of only 0.23 W m(-2) (with 0.17 +/- 0.18 W m(-2) from surface soot and 0.06 +/- 0.16 W m(-2) from aircraft soot), and cloud forcing changes are statistically insignificant (less than the natural variability). Our results reinforce the importance of understanding ice nucleation on soot from the perspective of their global climate impact.

The numerous degrees of freedom, both electronic and nuclear, make the problem impossible to solve without some effective approximations. Here we illustrate some advances in algorithm developments to solve the Kohn-Sham eigen value problem, i.e. we solve the electronic structure problem within density functional theory using pseudopotentials expressed in real space. Our algorithms are based on a nonlinear Chebyshev filtered subspace iteration method, which avoids computing explicit eigenvectors except at the first self-consistent-field iteration. Our method may be viewed as an approach to solve the original nonlinear Kohn-Sham equation by a nonlinear subspace iteration technique, without emphasizing the intermediate linearized Kohn-Sham eigenvalue problems. Replacing the standard iterative diagonalization at each self-consistent-field iteration by a Chebyshev subspace filtering step results in a significant speed-up, often an order of magnitude or more, over methods based on standard diagonalization. We illustrate this method by predicting the electronic and vibrational states for silicon nanocrystals.

By using lattice Monte Carlo techniques combined with ab initio calculations, we find that the beta-phase is stabilized by a macroscopic amount of intrinsic defects that are responsible not only for entropic effects but also for a reduction in internal energy. These defects enable the conversion of two-center to three-center bonds and are accompanied by the presence of localized, nonconductive electronic states in the optical gap. In addition we find that the ab initio Ising model describing the partial occupancy of beta-boron has macroscopic residual entropy, suggesting that boron is a frustrated system analogous to ice and spin ice.

TI Halo mass functions in early dark energy cosmologies SO MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article DE methods: numerical; large-scale structure of Universe ID CLUSTERS; MODELS; MATTER; CONSTRAINTS; STATISTICS; SUPERNOVAE AB We examine the linear density contrast at collapse time, delta(c), for large-scale structure in dynamical dark energy cosmologies, including models with early dark energy. Contrary to previous results, we find that as long as dark energy is homogeneous on small scales, delta(c) is insensitive to dark energy properties for parameter values fitting current data, including the case of early dark energy. This is significant since using the correct delta(c) is crucial for accurate Press-Schechter prediction of the halo mass function. Previous results have found an apparent failing of the extended Press-Schechter approach (Sheth-Tormen) for early dark energy. Our calculations demonstrate that with the correct delta(c), the accuracy of this approach is restored. We discuss the significance of this result for the halo mass function and examine what dark energy physics would be needed to cause significant change in delta(c), and the observational signatures this would leave.

Tailoring the shapes and sizes of FexPt1-x nanoparticles allows one to control a variety of properties that are relevant to the many potential applications of metallic nanoparticles. Shape and composition can be used to control catalytic activity and to achieve high packing density in self-assembled films. Variation of both nanoparticle size and shape has been achieved by using various different solvents. The solvents used in the nanoparticle synthesis can influence the product because they can play a role as surfactants. Using solvents of various types it has been possible to synthesize FexPt100-x nanoparticles with a variety of shapes including spherical, rod-like, cubic, hexagonal and high aspect ratio wires. Control of nanoparticle shape opens the door to their being used in various technological applications for which spherical nanoparticles are ineffective.

These blast waves exhibit significant energy loss through radiation while propagating in xenon as evidenced by interferometric imaging revealing radiative precursors and deceleration parameters well below those of an energy-conserving wave. Thinning of the blast wave shell from radiative cooling is observed through comparison of shocks launched in gases of differing atomic number. Shell thinning is also measured when the gas density is altered, indicating the influence of conditions within the preshock medium. These results are compared with radiative-hydrodynamic simulations.

The calculation applies to the case where the instability is seeded by shot noise. We examine an analytically treatable model of beam dynamics where collective forces are active only in non-dispersive sections of the linac. We find that the second-order term can augment the linear gain significantly while affecting the spectrum of the overall gain only marginally. The weight of the second-order correction relative to the linear gain is found to scale quadratically with respect to R(56). The qualitative behavior predicted by the model is consistent with exact numerical solutions of the Vlasov equations for realistic lattices. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

N-body simulations have established that the friends-of-friends (FOF) mass function has a universal form to a surprising level of accuracy (less than or similar to 10%). The high-mass tail of the mass function is exponentially sensitive to the amplitude of the initial density perturbations, the mean matter density parameter, Omega(m), and to the dark energy controlled late-time evolution of the density field. Observed group and cluster masses, however, are usually stated in terms of a spherical overdensity (SO) mass which does not map simply to the FOF mass. Additionally, the widely used halo models of structure formation-and halo occupancy distribution descriptions of galaxies within halos-are often constructed exploiting the universal form of the FOF mass function. This again raises the question of whether FOF halos can be simply related to the notion of a spherical overdensity mass. By employing results from Monte Carlo realizations of ideal Navarro-Frenk-White (NFW) halos and N-body simulations, we study the relationship between the two definitions of halo mass. We find that the vast majority of halos (80%-85%) in the mass-range 10(12.5)-10(15.5) h(-1) M(circle dot) indeed allow for an accurate mapping between the two definitions (similar to 5%), but only if the halo concentrations are known. Nonisolated halos fall into two broad classes: those with complex substructure that are poor fits to NFW profiles and those "bridged" by the (isodensity- based) FOF algorithm. A closer investigation of the bridged halos reveals that the fraction of these halos and their satellite mass distribution is cosmology dependent. We provide a preliminary discussion of the theoretical and observational ramifications of these results. C1 [Lukic, Zarija] Univ Illinois, Dept Astron, Urbana, IL 61801 USA.

We evaluate the correlation function for several cluster samples using different cuts in cluster richness. Fitting the results to power laws, xi cc(r) = (r/R(0))(-gamma), the estimated correlation length R(0) as a function of richness is broadly consistent with previous cluster observations and with expectations from N-body simulations. We study how the linear bias parameter scales with richness and compare our results to theoretical predictions. Since these measurements extend to very large scales, we also compare them to models that include the baryon acoustic oscillation feature and that account for the smoothing effects induced by errors in the cluster photometric redshift estimates. For the largest cluster sample, corresponding to a richness threshold of N(200) >= 10, we find only weak evidence, of about 1.4 sigma-1.7 sigma significance, for the baryonic acoustic oscillation signature in the cluster correlation function.

Specifically, we focus on the power-law indices of the fluctuation spectra and associated second-order structure functions and ask whether the index varies systematically with the angle between the mean magnetic field and the wind velocity. We extend previous results to show convincingly that it does not. Several popular theories for magnetohydrodynamic turbulence predict a significant variation as part of the turbulent cascade dynamic. We offer some observations on why the predicted anisotropy is not present. C1 [Tessein, Jeffrey A.; Smith, Charles W.] Univ New Hampshire, Dept Phys, Ctr Space Sci, Durham, NH 03824 USA.

To explore issues of turbulence and fossil cavities driven by young stellar outflows, we present a series of numerical simulations tracking the evolution of transient protostellar jets driven into a turbulent medium. Our simulations show both the effect of turbulence on outflow structures and, conversely, the effect of outflows on the ambient turbulence. We demonstrate how turbulence will lead to strong modifications in jet morphology. More importantly, we demonstrate that individual transient outflows have the capacity to re-energize decaying turbulence. Our simulations support a scenario in which the directed energy/momentum associated with cavities is randomized as the cavities are disrupted by dynamical instabilities seeded by the ambient turbulence. Consideration of the energy power spectra of the simulations reveals that the disruption of the cavities powers an energy cascade consistent with Burgers'-type turbulence and produces a driving scale length associated with the cavity propagation length. We conclude that fossil cavities interacting either with a turbulent medium or with other cavities have the capacity to sustain or create turbulent flows in star-forming environments. In the last section, we contrast our work and its conclusions with previous studies which claim that jets cannot be the source of turbulence.

According to this relation, for (M) over dot less than 10(-10) M-circle dot yr(-1), T-c is much lower than 10(7) K. Motivated by this study, we follow the thermonuclear runaway on massive white dwarfs (M-WD = 1.25-1.40 M-circle dot) with T-c lower than 10(7) K, accreting matter of solar composition. We demonstrate that in this range of the relevant parameter space (T-c, M-WD, and (M) over dot), the slope of the relation between the peak temperatures achieved during the runaway and T-c becomes much steeper than its value for T-c above 10(7) K. The peak temperatures we derive can lead to nuclear breakout from the conventional "hot carbon-nitrogen-oxygen" cycle. When breakout conditions are achieved the heavy-element abundances can show a much wider variety than what is possible with the common enrichment mechanisms. C1 [Glasner, S.

We present three-dimensional relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations demonstrating amplification and saturation of a magnetic field by a macroscopic turbulent dynamo triggered by the Kelvin-Helmholtz shear instability. We find rapid growth of electromagnetic energy due to the stretching and folding of field lines in the turbulent velocity field resulting from nonlinear development of the instability. Using conditions relevant for GRB internal shocks and late phases of GRB afterglow, we obtain amplification of the electromagnetic energy fraction to epsilon(B) similar to 5 x 10(-3). This value decays slowly after the shear is dissipated and appears to be largely independent of the initial field strength. The conditions required for operation of the dynamo are the presence of velocity shear and some seed magnetization both of which are expected to be commonplace. We also find that the turbulent kinetic energy spectrum for the case studied obeys Kolmogorov's 5/3 law and that the electromagnetic energy spectrum is essentially flat with the bulk of the electromagnetic energy at small scales.

Micro spectrophotometry of single crystals of Thermus ba3 oxidase at 100 K was used to show that crystals of the oxidized enzyme are reduced in an intense X-ray (beam line 7-1 at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory), being nearly complete in 1 min. The previously reported structures of ba3 (Protein Data Bank entries and ), having a crystallographically detectable water between the CUB and Fe,,3 metals of the dinuclear center, actually represent the X-ray radiation-reduced enzyme. Dithionite-reduced crystals or crystals formed from dithionite-reduced enzyme revealed the absence of the above-mentioned water and an increase in the Cu-B-Fe-a3 distance of similar to 0.3 A. The new structures are discussed in terms of enzyme function. An unexpected optical absorption envelope at similar to 590 nm is also reported. This spectral feature is tentatively thought to arise from a five-coordinate, low-spin, ferrous heme 613 that is trapped in the frozen crystals. C1 [Doukov, Tzanko; Soltis, S.

Treatments such as copper chelation therapy or dietary supplementation with zinc can ameliorate the effects of the disease, but if left untreated, it results in hepatitis, neurological complications, and death. Tetrathiomolybdate (TTM) is a promising new treatment for Wilson's disease which has been demonstrated both in an animal model and in clinical trials. X-ray absorption spectroscopy suggests that TTM acts as a novel copper chelator, forming a complex with accumulated copper in liver. We have used X-ray absorption spectroscopy and X-ray fluorescence imaging to trace the molecular form and distribution of the complex in liver and kidney of an animal model of human Wilson's disease. Our work allows new insights into metabolism of the metal complex in the diseased state.

TI Nanoscale Structure and Morphology of Atomic Layer Deposition Platinum on SrTiO3 (001) SO CHEMISTRY OF MATERIALS LA English DT Article ID SMALL-ANGLE SCATTERING; PHOTOCATALYTIC HYDROGEN-PRODUCTION; X-RAY-SCATTERING; STRONTIUM-TITANATE; GRAZING-INCIDENCE; FILM GROWTH; THIN-FILMS; CATALYSTS; SURFACES; ETHANOL AB The early stages of nucleation and growth of atomic layer deposition (ALD) platinum on SrTiO3 (001) have been studied. Scanning electron microscopy reveals the ALD Pt deposits as discrete nanoparticles that grow and coalesce with increasing number of ALD cycles, ultimately resulting in a continuous film after similar to 40 cycles. Atomic force microscopy shows the films to be fine-grained and highly conformal such that the 0.4 nm atomic steps of the underlying SrTiO3 (001) surface remain visible even after 80 Pt ALD cycles. Grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS) studies demonstrate that the early stages of Pt ALD yields nanoparticles that are well approximated as cylinders with a height to radius ratio that is nearly unity. Consistent with nanoparticle coalescence, GISAXS also reveals an interparticle spacing that increases with the number of ALD cycles. X-ray fluorescence measurements of the Pt coverage reveal growth dynamics in which the Pt deposition is initially faster than the steady-state growth rate that emerges after 40-70 ALD cycles. These experimental results are understood through the application of a model that suggests that the SrTiO3 surface is more reactive than the Pt species and that Pt diffusion is operative in nanoparticle formation. Overall, this study delineates ALD growth conditions for forming either Pt nanoparticles or continuous Pt thin films on SrTiO3 (001), thus presenting potentially useful substrates for catalysis and microelectronics, respectively.

BiVO4 is found to be a direct band gap semiconductor, despite having band extrema away from the Brillouin zone center. Coupling between Bi 6s and O 2p forces an upward dispersion of the valence band at the zone boundary; however, a direct gap is maintained via coupling between V 3d, O 2p, and Bi 6p, which lowers the conduction band minimum. These interactions result in symmetric hole and electron masses. Implications for the design of ambipolar metal oxides are discussed.

This experiment uses a Tevatron-based neutrino beam to obtain over an order of magnitude higher statistics than presently available for the purely weak processes. nu(mu) + e(-) -> nu(mu) + e(-) and nu(mu) + e(-) -> nu(e) + mu(-). A sample of Deep Inelastic Scattering events which is over two orders of magnitude larger than past samples will also be obtained. As a result, NuSOnG will be unique among present and planned experiments for its ability to probe neutrino couplings to Beyond the Standard Model physics. Many Beyond Standard Model theories physics predict a rich hierarchy of TeV-scale new states that can correct neutrino cross-sections, through modi. cations of Z nu nu couplings, tree-level exchanges of new particles such as Z's, or through loop-level oblique corrections to gauge boson propagators. These corrections are generic in theories of extra dimensions, extended gauge symmetries, supersymmetry, and more. The sensitivity of NuSOnG to this new physics extends beyond 5 TeV mass scales. This paper reviews these physics opportunities. C1 [Adams, T.; Owens, J. F.] Florida State Univ, Tallahassee, FL 32306 USA. [Tait, T. M. P.] Argonne Natl Lab, Argonne, IL 60439 USA. [Loinaz, W.

The particular challenge is to obtain efficient charge separation analogous to the natural photosynthesis process. The synthesis of axially anisotropic TiO(2) nano-objects such as tubes, rods and bricks, as well as spherical and faceted nanoparticles has been developed in our laboratory. Depending on their size and shape, these nanostructures exhibit different domains of crystallinity, surface areas and aspect ratios. Moreover, in order to accommodate for high curvature in nanoscale regime, the surfaces of TiO(2) nano-objects reconstructs resulting in changes in the coordination of surface Ti atoms from octahedral (D(2d)) to square pyramidal structures (C(4)v). The formation of these coordinatively unsaturated Ti atoms, thus depends strongly on the size and shape of nanocrystallites and affects trapping and reactivity of photogenerated charges. We have exploited these coordinatively unsaturated Ti atoms to coupe electron-donating (such as dopamine) and electron-accepting (pyrroloquinoline quinone) conductive linkers that allow wiring of biomolecules and proteins resulting in enhanced charge separation which increases the yield of ensuing chemical transformations.

The data reveal that both polystyrene and poly(n-butyl acrylate) "brushes" have structure at the Surface with length scales in the region of 620-3100 nm, but the surface features show no relaxation in a time window of 0.1...1000 s, even at temperatures more than 130 degrees C above the glass transition temperature of the corresponding untethered chains. This remarkable alteration of the dynamics, is compared with the suppression of fluctuations Oil this length Scale anticipated by thermodynamic theories.

TI Strong profiling is not mathematically optimal for discovering rare malfeasors SO PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA LA English DT Article DE screening; square-root biased sampling; rare events ID RACIAL BIAS; MINIMIZATION AB The use of profiling by ethnicity or nationality to trigger secondary security screening is a controversial social and political issue. Overlooked is the question of whether such actuarial methods are in fact mathematically justified, even under the most idealized assumptions of completely accurate prior probabilities, and secondary screenings concentrated on the highest-probablity individuals. We show here that strong profiling (defined as screening at least in proportion to prior probability) is no more efficient than uniform random sampling of the entire population, because resources are wasted on the repeated screening of higher probability, but innocent, individuals. A mathematically optimal strategy would be "square-root biased sampling,'' the geometric mean between strong profiling and uniform sampling, with secondary screenings distributed broadly, although not uniformly, over the population. Square-root biased sampling is a general idea that can be applied whenever a "bell-ringer'' event must be found by sampling with replacement, but can be recognized (either with certainty, or with some probability) when seen.

TI Gene-centric metagenomics of the fiber-adherent bovine rumen microbiome reveals forage specific glycoside hydrolases SO PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA LA English DT Article DE CAZymes; cellulases; plant cell wall; pyrosequencing ID HERBIVORE GASTROINTESTINAL-TRACT; REAL-TIME PCR; PHYLOGENETIC ANALYSIS; HYBRIDIZATION PROBES; BACTERIAL COMMUNITY; GUT MICROBIOME; DIVERSITY; POPULATIONS; DNA; FIBROBACTER AB The complex microbiome of the rumen functions as an effective system for the conversion of plant cell wall biomass to microbial protein, short chain fatty acids, and gases. As such, it provides a unique genetic resource for plant cell wall degrading microbial enzymes that could be used in the production of biofuels. The rumen and gastrointestinal tract harbor a dense and complex microbiome. To gain a greater understanding of the ecology and metabolic potential of this microbiome, we used comparative metagenomics (phylotype analysis and SEED subsystems-based annotations) to examine randomly sampled pyrosequence data from 3 fiber-adherent microbiomes and 1 pooled liquid sample ( a mixture of the liquid microbiome fractions from the same bovine rumens). Even though the 3 animals were fed the same diet, the community structure, predicted phylotype, and metabolic potentials in the rumen were markedly different with respect to nutrient utilization. A comparison of the glycoside hydrolase and cellulosome functional genes revealed that in the rumen microbiome, initial colonization of fiber appears to be by organisms possessing enzymes that attack the easily available side chains of complex plant polysaccharides and not the more recalcitrant main chains, especially cellulose. Furthermore, when compared with the termite hindgut microbiome, there are fundamental differences in the glycoside hydrolase content that appear to be diet driven for either the bovine rumen ( forages and legumes) or the termite hindgut (wood).

Rapid depolymerization of cellulose is a distinguishing feature of brown-rot, but the biochemical mechanisms and underlying genetics are poorly understood. Systematic examination of the P. placenta genome, transcriptome, and secretome revealed unique extracellular enzyme systems, including an unusual repertoire of extracellular glycoside hydrolases. Genes encoding exo-cellobiohydrolases and cellulose-binding domains, typical of cellulolytic microbes, are absent in this efficient cellulose-degrading fungus. When P. placenta was grown in medium containing cellulose as sole carbon source, transcripts corresponding to many hemicellulases and to a single putative beta-1-4 endoglucanase were expressed at high levels relative to glucose-grown cultures. These transcript profiles were confirmed by direct identification of peptides by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Also up-regulated during growth on cellulose medium were putative iron reductases, quinone reductase, and structurally divergent oxidases potentially involved in extracellular generation of Fe(II) and H(2)O(2). These observations are consistent with a biodegradative role for Fenton chemistry in which Fe( II) and H(2)O(2) react to form hydroxyl radicals, highly reactive oxidants capable of depolymerizing cellulose. The P. placenta genome resources provide unparalleled opportunities for investigating such unusual mechanisms of cellulose conversion. More broadly, the genome offers insight into the diversification of lignocellulose degrading mechanisms in fungi. Comparisons with the closely related white-rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium support an evolutionary shift from white-rot to brown-rot during which the capacity for efficient depolymerization of lignin was lost.

TI Functional coding variation in recombinant inbred mouse lines reveals multiple serotonin transporter-associated phenotypes SO PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA LA English DT Article DE gene; haplotype; iron; serotonin; dopamine ID QUANTITATIVE TRAIT LOCI; BRAIN-SEROTONIN; PROMOTER-POLYMORPHISM; COLLABORATIVE CROSS; GENETIC-ANALYSIS; NERVOUS-SYSTEM; DEFICIENT MICE; KNOCKOUT MICE; EXPRESSION; BEHAVIOR AB The human serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) transporter (hSERT, SLC6A4) figures prominently in the etiology and treatment of many prevalent neurobehavioral disorders including anxiety, alcoholism, depression, autism, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Here, we use naturally occurring polymorphisms in recombinant inbred ( RI) lines to identify multiple phenotypes associated with altered SERT function. The widely used mouse strain C57BL/6J, harbors a SERT haplotype defined by 2 nonsynonymous coding variants [Gly-39 and Lys-152 (GK)]. At these positions, many other mouse lines, including DBA/2J, encode, respectively, Glu-39 and Arg-152 ( ER haplotype), amino acids found also in hSERT. Ex vivo synaptosomal 5- HT transport studies revealed reduced uptake associated with the GK variant, a finding confirmed by in vitro heterologous expression studies. Experimental and in silico approaches using RI lines (C57BL/6J x DBA/2J = BXD) identify multiple anatomical, biochemical, and behavioral phenotypes specifically impacted by GK/ER variation. Among our findings are several traits associated with alcohol consumption and multiple traits associated with dopamine signaling. Further bioinformatic analysis of BXD phenotypes, combined with biochemical evaluation of SERT knockout mice, nominates SERT-dependent 5-HT signaling as a major determinant of midbrain iron homeostasis that, in turn, dictates iron-regulated DA phenotypes. Our studies provide an example of the power of coordinated in vitro, in vivo, and in silico approaches using mouse RI lines to elucidate and quantify the system-level impact of gene variation.

We quantify and monetize the life-cycle climate-change and health effects of greenhouse gas (GHG) and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) emissions from gasoline, corn ethanol, and cellulosic ethanol. For each billion ethanol-equivalent gallons of fuel produced and combusted in the US, the combined climate-change and health costs are $469 million for gasoline, $472-952 million for corn ethanol depending on biorefinery heat source ( natural gas, corn stover, or coal) and technology, but only $123-208 million for cellulosic ethanol depending on feedstock ( prairie biomass, Mis-canthus, corn stover, or switchgrass). Moreover, a geographically explicit life-cycle analysis that tracks PM2.5 emissions and exposure relative to U. S. population shows regional shifts in health costs dependent on fuel production systems. Because cellulosic ethanol can offer health benefits from PM2.5 reduction that are of comparable importance to its climate-change benefits from GHG reduction, a shift from gasoline to cellulosic ethanol has greater advantages than previously recognized. These advantages are critically dependent on the source of land used to produce biomass for biofuels, on the magnitude of any indirect land use that may result, and on other as yet unmeasured environmental impacts of biofuels.

In recent years, SWNTs have been treated as legitimate nanoscale chemical reagents. Hence, herein we seek to understand, from a structural and mechanistic perspective, the breadth and types of controlled covalent reactions SWNTs can undergo in solution phase, not only at ends and defect sites but also along sidewalls. We explore advances in the formation of nanotube derivatives that essentially maintain and even enhance their performance metrics after precise chemical modification. We especially highlight molecular insights (and corresponding correlation with properties) into the binding of functional moieties onto carbon nanotube surfaces. Controllable chemical functionalization suggests that the unique optical, electronic, and mechanical properties of SWNTs can be much more readily tuned than ever before, with key implications for the generation of truly functional nanoscale working devices.

A (Gd,Y)Ba2Cu3O7-x tape of 1 m in length with 6.5% Zr-additions and 30% composition rich in both Gd and Y showed I-c values of 813 A/cm width at (self-field, 77 K) and above 186 A/cm width at (1 T, 77 K). The strongly enhanced flux pinning over a wide range of magnetic field orientations can be attributed to the bidirectionally aligned defect structures of BaZrO3 and (Gd,Y)(2)O-3 created by optimized MOCVD conditions.

Current inertial confinement fusion target designs impose stringent limits to the cross-sectional area and total volume of these grooves. Formation of these grain boundaries occurs over time scales of hours as the dislocation network anneals and is inevitable in a plastically deformed material. Therefore, either cooling on a much shorter time scale or a technique that requires no cooling after solidification should be used to minimize the roughness. C1 [Chernov, A. A.; Kozioziemski, B.

Comparisons of closed-form, analytical modeling to the measured, depth-averaged strain distributions show close correspondence for the e-SiC features but 95% of the predicted strain in the SOI channel. Mechanical constraint due to the overlying gate and the contribution of SOI underneath the e-SiC in the diffracting volume to the measurements can explain this difference.

With increasing pressure, we observed a series of phase transformations in Y2O3:Eu3+, which followed a structure sequence of cubic -> monoclinic -> hexagonal, while Y2O3 followed a sequence of cubic -> hexagonal. During decompression, both hexagonal structured Y2O3 and Y2O3:Eu3+ transformed into monoclinic phases which were quenchable back to ambient pressure. Raman and PL measurements shed additional light on the different phase transition behavior in these two samples.

The dots are grown in GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures designed to maximize current injection into dot excited states while preferentially removing electrons from the ground states. As such, these devices resemble quantum cascade lasers. However, rigorous modeling of carrier transport through the devices indicates that the current transport mechanism for quantum dot active regions differs from that of quantum-well-based midinfrared lasers. We present the calculated energy states and transport mechanism for an intersublevel quantum dot emitter, as well as experimental electroluminescence data for these structures.

Unlike the high-temperature superconductor cuprates and 1111-phase oxypnictides, Ba(Fe1-xCox)(2)As-2 showed practically no broadening of the resistive transitions under magnetic fields up to 45 T. We report the temperature dependencies of the upper critical field H-c2 both parallel and perpendicular to the c-axis, the irreversibility field H-irr(c)(T), and a rather unusual symmetric volume pinning force curve F-p(H) suggestive of a strong pinning nanostructure. The anisotropy parameter gamma=H-c2(ab)/H-c2(c) deduced from the slopes of dH(c2)(ab)/dT=4.9 T/K and dH(c2)(c)/dT=2.5 T/K decreases from similar to 2 near T-c, to similar to 1.5 at lower temperatures, much smaller than gamma for 1111pnictides and high-T-c cuprates.

Heating solid Ce(cot)(2) yields Ce-2(cot)(3) and COT while heating Ce-2(cot)(3) with an excess of COT in C6D6 to 65 degrees C over four months yields Ce(cot)(2). The solid state magnetic susceptibility data of these three organocerium compounds show that Ce(cot)(2) behaves as a TIP (temperature independent paramagnet) over the temperature range of 5-300 K, while that of Ce-2(cot)(3) shows that the spin carriers are antiferromagnetically coupled below 10 K; above 10 K, the individual spins are uncorrelated, and [Ce(cot)(2)](-) behaves as an isolated f(1) paramagnet. The EPR spectra recorded at 1.5 K confirm that Ce-2(cot)(3) and [Ce(cot)(2)](-) have a erround-state of M-j= +/- 1/2. The L-III edge XANES of Ce(cot)(2) (Booth, C.H.; Walter, M.D.; Daniel, M.; Lukens, W.W., Andersen, R.A., Phys. Rev. Lett. 2005, 95, 267202) and Ce-2(cot)(3) over 30-500 K are reported; the Ce(cot)(2) XANES spectra show Ce(III) and Ce(IV) signatures up to a temperature of approximately 500 K, whereupon the Ce(IV) signature disappears, consistent with the thermal behavior observed in the melting experiment. The EXAFS of Ce(cot)(2) and Ce-2(cot)(3) are reported at 30 K; the agreement between the molecular parameters for Ce(cot)(2) derived from EXAFS and single crystal X-ray diffraction data are excellent. In the case of Ce-2(cot)(3) no X-ray diffraction data are known to exist, but the EXAFS are consistent with a "triple-decker" sandwich structure. A molecular rationalization is presented for the electronic structure of cerocene having a multiconfiguration ground-state that is an admixture of the two configurations Ce(III, 4f(1))(cot(1.5-))2 and Ce(IV, 4f(0))(Cot(2-))(2); the multiconfigurational ground-state has profound effects on the magnetic properties and on the nature of the chemical bond in cerocene and, perhaps, other molecules.

In spite of the importance and extensive use of metal sulfide catalysts, these S-H bond strengths are among the first experimentally determined values for metal sulfide systems. For [CP*MO(mu-S)(mu-SMe)(2)(mu-SH)MoCp*](+) (S(4)Me(2)H(+)), [Cp*Mo(mu-S)(mu-SMe)(mu-SH)(2)MoCP*](+) (S(4)MeH(2)(+)), and [Cp*Mo(mu-S)(mu-SH)(3)MoCP*](+) (S(4)H(3)(+)), the pK(a) values were determined to be 5.6 +/- 0.4, 5.3 +/- 0.3, and 4.9 +/- 0.3, respectively. The E(1/2) values for S(4)Me(2)(center dot+/o), S(4)MeH(center dot+/o), and S(4)H(2)(center dot+/o) were measured to be -0.02 +/- 0.02, +0.04 +/- 0.05, and +0.07 +/- 0.07 V vs FeCp(2)(+/o), respectively. Using these experimental values, the homolytic S-H SBDFE for S(4)Me(2)H(+) to S(4)Me(2)(center dot+), S(4)MeH(2)(+) to S(4)MeH(center dot+), and S(4)H(3)(+) to S(4)H(2)(center dot+) were determined to be 60.8 +/- 1.0, 61.8 +/- 1.6, and 61.9 +/- 2.0 kcal/mol, respectively. These SBDFE values can be used to estimate gas phase bond dissociation enthalpies of 65.6, 66.6, and 66.7 kca/mol, respectively. Solid state structures are presented for S(4)MeH and S(4)H(2.)

Scattered electrons were detected in the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer, for 0.05 < Q(2) < 5 GeV2 and W < 3 GeV. The first moments of g(1) for the proton and deuteron are presented - both have a negative slope at low Q(2), as predicted by the extended Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn sum rule. The first extraction of the generalized forward spin polarizability of the proton gamma(p)(0) is also reported. This quantity shows strong Q(2) dependence at low Q(2). Our analysis of the Q(2) evolution of the first moment of g, shows agreement in leading order with Heavy Baryon Chiral Perturbation Theory. However, a significant discrepancy is observed between the gamma(p)(0) data and Chiral Perturbation calculations for gamma(p)(0), even at the lowest Q(2). (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The fluid model consists of individual chemical component (species) conservation equations, Darcy's law for volumetric flow rates and an energy equation in terms of enthalpy. The model is closed with an equation of state and phase equilibrium conditions that determine the distribution of the chemical components into phases. It is shown that, in the absence of diffusive forces, the flow equations can be split into a system of hyperbolic conservation laws for the species and enthalpy and a parabolic equation for pressure. This decomposition forms the basis of a sequential formulation where the pressure equation is solved implicitly and then the component and enthalpy conservation laws are solved explicitly. A numerical method based on this sequential formulation is presented and used to demonstrate some typical flow behaviour that occurs during fluid injection into a reservoir. C1 [Van Odyck, Daniel E.

TI Quasichemical theory with a soft cutoff SO JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL PHYSICS LA English DT Article DE free energy; liquid theory; molecular dynamics method; Monte Carlo methods; solvation; water ID MOLECULAR-DYNAMICS; LIQUID WATER; FREE-ENERGY; HYDRATION AB In view of the wide success of molecular quasichemical theory of liquids, this paper develops the soft-cutoff version of that theory. This development allows molecular dynamics simulations to be used for the calculation of solvation free energy, whereas the hard-cutoff version of the theory needs Monte Carlo simulations. This development also shows how fluids composed of molecules with smooth repulsive interactions can be treated analogously to the molecular-field theory of the hard-sphere fluid. In the treatment of liquid water, quasichemical theory with soft-cutoff conditioning does not change the fundamental convergence characteristics of the theory using hard-cutoff conditioning. In fact, hard cutoffs are found here to work better than softer ones in that case. C1 [Chempath, Shaji] Los Alamos Natl Lab, Div Theoret, Los Alamos, NM 87545 USA.

To understand these results we have performed supercell-based calculations using Van Kranendonk theory taking into account the renormalization of the hopping parameter by the lattice vibrations. We find that the major temperature dependence at this level of theory comes from the differences in populations of rotational states. The theory provides a fair description of the experimental results up to 70 GPa. We examine in detail a number of assumptions made in the application of the Van Kranendonk model to hydrogen as a function of pressure and temperature. We also present results of hybrid path integral molecular dynamics calculations in the fluid state at a low pressure (7 GPa) near the melting temperature. An amorphous-solid model of the fluid predicts that the Raman vibron frequencies change little upon melting, in agreement with experiment. The Van Kranendonk theory with fixed rotational identities of the molecules tends to predict more peaks in the Raman spectrum than are observed experimentally. C1 [Feldman, J.

We compare the performance of modified Lanczos, Arooldi, Davidson, and Rayleigh quotient iterative procedures to solve the random-phase approximation (RPA) (non-Hermitian) and Tamm-Dancoff approximation (TDA) (Hermitian) eigenvalue equations in the molecular orbital-free framework. Semiempirical Hamiltonian models are used to numerically benchmark algorithms for the computation of excited states of realistic molecular systems (conjugated polymers and carbon nanotubes). Convergence behavior and stability are tested with respect to a numerical noise imposed to simulate linear scaling conditions. The results single out the most suitable procedures for linear scaling large-scale time-dependent perturbation theory calculations of electronic excitations. C1 [Tretiak, Sergei; Niklasson, Anders M.

The electronic and structural properties of the doped clusters, MAu16- (M=Ag,Zn,In), are investigated by photoelectron spectroscopy and theoretical calculations. It is observed that the characteristic spectral features of Au-16(-), reflecting its near tetrahedral (T-d) symmetry, are retained in the photoelectron spectra of MAu16-, suggesting endohedral structures with little distortion from the parent Au-16(-) cage for the doped clusters. Density functional calculations show that the endohedral structures of M@Au-16(-) with Td symmetry are low-lying structures, which give simulated photoelectron spectra in good agreement with the experiment. It is found that the dopant atom does not significantly perturb the electronic and atomic structures of Au-16(-), but simply donate its valence electrons to the parent Au-16(-) cage, resulting in a closed-shell 18-electron system for Ag@Au-16(-), a 19-electron system for Zn@Au-16(-) with a large energy gap, and a 20-electron system for In@Au-16(-). The current work shows that the electronic properties of the golden buckyball can be systematically tuned through doping. (c) 2009 American Institute of Physics.

RS-XRF was validated by mapping and quantifying iron, zinc and copper in brain slices from Parkinson's disease (PD) and unaffected subjects. Regions and structures in the brain were readily identified by their metal complement and each metal had a unique distribution. Many zinc-rich brain regions were low in iron and vice versa. The location and amount of iron in brain regions known to be affected in PD agreed with analyses using other methods. Sample preparation is simple and standard formalin-fixed autopsy slices are suitable. RS-XRF can simultaneously and non-destructively map and quantify multiple metals and holds great promise to reveal metal pathologies associated with PD and other neurodegenerative diseases as well as diseases of metal metabolism.

TI Structural and Biochemical Characterization of the Type II Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase GlpX from Escherichia coli SO JOURNAL OF BIOLOGICAL CHEMISTRY LA English DT Article ID INOSITOL MONOPHOSPHATASE; FRUCTOSE 1,6-BISPHOSPHATASE; CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE; LITHIUM-THERAPY; CORYNEBACTERIUM-GLUTAMICUM; PHOSPHATASE-ACTIVITIES; PUTATIVE TARGET; GENE-PRODUCT; ENZYME; PURIFICATION AB Gluconeogenesis is an important metabolic pathway, which produces glucose from noncarbohydrate precursors such as organic acids, fatty acids, amino acids, or glycerol. Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, a key enzyme of gluconeogenesis, is found in all organisms, and five different classes of these enzymes have been identified. Here we demonstrate that Escherichia coli has two class II fructose-1,6-bisphosphatases, GlpX and YggF, which show different catalytic properties. We present the first crystal structure of a class II fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (GlpX) determined in a free state and in the complex with a substrate (fructose 1,6-bisphosphate) or inhibitor (phosphate). The crystal structure of the ligand-free GlpX revealed a compact, globular shape with two alpha/beta-sandwich domains. The core fold of GlpX is structurally similar to that of Li(+)-sensitive phosphatases implying that they have a common evolutionary origin and catalytic mechanism. The structure of the GlpX complex with fructose 1,6-bisphosphate revealed that the active site is located between two domains and accommodates several conserved residues coordinating two metal ions and the substrate. The third metal ion is bound to phosphate 6 of the substrate. Inorganic phosphate strongly inhibited activity of both GlpX and YggF, and the crystal structure of the GlpX complex with phosphate demonstrated that the inhibitor molecule binds to the active site. Alanine replacement mutagenesis of GlpX identified 12 conserved residues important for activity and suggested that Thr(90) is the primary catalytic residue. Our data provide insight into the molecular mechanisms of the substrate specificity and catalysis of GlpX and other class II fructose-1,6-bisphosphatases.

TI Superoxide Dismutase from the Eukaryotic Thermophile Alvinella pompejana: Structures, Stability, Mechanism, and Insights into Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis SO JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR BIOLOGY LA English DT Article DE thermophile; thermostable proteins; superoxide dismutase; amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; amyloid filaments ID STRAND BREAK REPAIR; X-RAY SOLUTION; ACTIVE-SITE; CU,ZN-SUPEROXIDE DISMUTASE; ELECTROSTATIC RECOGNITION; 3-DIMENSIONAL STRUCTURE; ANGSTROM RESOLUTION; SOLUTION SCATTERING; RECOMBINANT HUMAN; FREE CYSTEINES AB Prokaryotic thermophiles supply stable human protein homologs for structural biology; yet, eukaryotic thermophiles would provide more similar macromolecules plus those missing in microbes. Alvinella pompejana is a deep-sea hydrothermal-vent worm that has been found in temperatures averaging as high as 68 degrees C, with spikes up to 84 degrees C. Here, we used Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD) to test if this eukaryotic thermophile can provide insights into macromolecular mechanisms and stability by supplying better stable mammalian homologs for structural biology and other biophysical characterizations than those from prokaryotic thermophiles. Identification, cloning, characterization, X-ray scattering (small-angle X-ray scattering, SAXS), and crystal structure determinations show that A. pompejana SOD (ApSOD) is superstable, homologous, and informative. SAXS solution analyses identify the human-like ApSOD dimer. The crystal structure shows the active site at 0.99 angstrom resolution plus anchoring interaction motifs in loops and termini accounting for enhanced stability of ApSOD versus human SOD. Such stabilizing features may reduce movements that promote inappropriate intermolecular interactions, such as amyloid-like filaments found in SOD mutants causing the neurodegenerative disease familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or Lou Gehrig's disease. ApSOD further provides the structure of a long-sought SOD product complex at 1.35 angstrom resolution, suggesting a unified innersphere mechanism for catalysis involving metal ion movement. Notably, this proposed mechanism resolves apparent paradoxes regarding electron transfer. These results extend knowledge of SOD stability and catalysis and suggest that the eukaryote A. pompejana provides macromolecules highly similar to those from humans, but with enhanced stability more suitable for scientific and medical applications.

CA DO Collaboration TI Search for Neutral Higgs Bosons at High tan beta in the b(h/H/A) -> b tau(+)tau(-) Channel SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article ID MSSM AB The first search in p (p) over bar collisions at root s = 1.96 TeV for the production of neutral Higgs bosons in association with bottom quarks and decaying in two tau leptons is presented. The cross section for this process is enhanced in many extensions of the standard model, such as its minimal supersymmetric extension (MSSM) at large tan beta. The data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 328 pb(-1), were collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. An upper limit is set on the production cross section of neutral Higgs bosons in the mass range of 90 to 150 GeV, and this limit is used to exclude part of the MSSM parameter space. C1 [Abazov, V.

CA D0 Collaboration TI Search for Large Extra Spatial Dimensions in the Dielectron and Diphoton Channels in p(p)over-bar Collisions at root s=1.96 TeV SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article ID SCALE GRAVITY; MILLIMETER AB We report on a search for large extra spatial dimensions in the dielectron and diphoton channels using a data sample of 1: 05 fb(-1) of p (p) over bar collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV collected by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The invariant mass spectrum of the data agrees well with the prediction of the standard model. We find the most restrictive 95% C. L. lower limits on the effective Planck scale between 2.1 and 1.3 TeV for 2 to 7 extra dimensions. C1 [Abazov, V. M.; Kharzheev, Y. M.; Malyshev, V. L.; Meijer, M. M.; Vertogradov, L.

CA DO Collaboration TI Measurement of the Semileptonic Branching Ratio of Bs(0) to an Orbitally Excited D-s** State: Br(Bs(0) -> Ds1(-)(2536)mu(+)nu X) SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article ID QUARK-MODEL; B-DECAY; MESON; PHYSICS AB In a data sample of approximately 1.3 fb(-1) collected with the D0 detector between 2002 and 2006, the orbitally excited charm state D-s1(+/-)(2536) has been observed with a measured mass of 2535.7 +/- 0.6(stat) +/- 0.5(syst) MeV/c(2) via the decay mode B-s(0) -> D-s1(-)(2536)mu(+)nu X-mu. A first measurement is made of the branching ratio product Br((b) over bar -> D-s1(-)(2536)mu(+)nu X-mu) x Br(D-s1(-) -> D*K--(S)0). Assuming that D-s1(-)(2536) production in semileptonic decay is entirely from B-s(0), an extraction of the semileptonic branching ratio Br(B-s(0) -> D-s1(-)(2536)mu(+)nu X-mu) is made. C1 [Abazov, V.

CA DO Collaboration TI Search for Associated W and Higgs Boson Production in p(p)over-bar Collisions at root s=1.96 TeV SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article AB We present results of a search for WH -> l nu b (b) over bar production in p (p) over bar collisions based on the analysis of 1.05 fb(-1) of data collected by the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron, using a neural network for separating the signal from backgrounds. No signal-like excess is observed, and we set 95% C. L. upper limits on the WH production cross section multiplied by the branching ratio for H -> b (b) over bar for Higgs boson masses between 100 and 150 GeV. For a mass of 115 GeV, we obtain an observed (expected) limit of 1.5 (1.4) pb, a factor of 11.4 (10.7) times larger than the standard model prediction. C1 [Abazov, V. M.; Alexeev, G.

CA STAR Collaboration TI Indications of Conical Emission of Charged Hadrons at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article ID EVENTS AB Three-particle azimuthal correlation measurements with a high transverse momentum trigger particle are reported for pp, d + Au, and Au + Au collisions at root(NN)-N-S = 200 GeV by the STAR experiment. Dijet structures are observed in pp, d + Au and peripheral Au + Au collisions. An additional structure is observed in central Au + Au data, signaling conical emission of correlated charged hadrons. The conical emission angle is found to be theta = 1.37 +/- 0.02(stat)(-0.07)(+0.06)(syst), independent of p perpendicular to. C1 [Abelev, B. I.; Barannikova, O.; Betts, R.

TI Kondo Decoherence: Finding the Right Spin Model for Iron Impurities in Gold and Silver SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article ID NUMERICAL RENORMALIZATION-GROUP; ANDERSON MODEL; ENERGY; RESISTANCE; ALLOYS AB We exploit the decoherence of electrons due to magnetic impurities, studied via weak localization, to resolve a long-standing question concerning the classic Kondo systems of Fe impurities in the noble metals gold and silver: which Kondo-type model yields a realistic description of the relevant multiple bands, spin, and orbital degrees of freedom? Previous studies suggest a fully screened spin S Kondo model, but the value of S remained ambiguous. We perform density functional theory calculations that suggest S = 3/2. We also compare previous and new measurements of both the resistivity and decoherence rate in quasi-one-dimensional wires to numerical renormalization group predictions for S = 1/2, 1, and 3/2, finding excellent agreement for S = 3/2.

This (Dresselhaus) splitting has usually been calculated at restricted regions in the Brillouin zone via small wave vector approximations (e. g., k . p), potentially missing the "big picture.'' We provide a full-zone description of the Dresselhaus splitting in zinc blende semiconductors by using pseudo-potentials, empirically corrected to rectify local density approximation errors by fitting GW results. In contrast to what was previous thought, we find that the largest spin splitting in the lowest conduction band and upper valence band (VB1) occurs surprisingly along the (210) direction, not the (110) direction, and that the splitting of the VB1 is comparable to that of the next two valence bands VB2 and VB3.

An isotropic lattice contraction enhances the ferromagnetic ordering temperature by inducing mixing of Eu 4f and 5d electronic orbitals. Anion substitution (Te -> O) enhances competing exchange pathways through spin-polarized anion p states, counteracting the effect of the concomitant lattice contraction. The results have strong implications for efforts aimed at enhancing FM exchange interactions in thin films through interfacial strain or chemical substitutions.

TI Low-Loss Metamaterials Based on Classical Electromagnetically Induced Transparency SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article ID STORAGE; LIGHT; OPTICS AB We demonstrate theoretically that electromagnetically induced transparency can be achieved in metamaterials, in which electromagnetic radiation is interacting resonantly with mesoscopic oscillators rather than with atoms. We describe novel metamaterial designs that can support a full dark resonant state upon interaction with an electromagnetic beam and we present results of its frequency-dependent effective permeability and permittivity. These results, showing a transparency window with extremely low absorption and strong dispersion, are confirmed by accurate simulations of the electromagnetic field propagation in the metamaterial.

TI The Formation of Massive Star Systems by Accretion SO SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID PROTOSTELLAR DISKS; MOLECULAR CLOUDS; CORES; COLLAPSE; LIMIT; FRAGMENTATION; TURBULENT; EVOLUTION; TRANSPORT AB Massive stars produce so much light that the radiation pressure they exert on the gas and dust around them is stronger than their gravitational attraction, a condition that has long been expected to prevent them from growing by accretion. We present three- dimensional radiation-hydrodynamic simulations of the collapse of a massive prestellar core and find that radiation pressure does not halt accretion. Instead, gravitational and Rayleigh- Taylor instabilities channel gas onto the star system through nonaxisymmetric disks and filaments that self- shield against radiation while allowing radiation to escape through optically thin bubbles. Gravitational instabilities cause the disk to fragment and form a massive companion to the primary star. Radiation pressure does not limit stellar masses, but the instabilities that allow accretion to continue lead to small multiple systems.

Mech. Phys. Solids 2000; 48:175-209) as a reformulation of classical elasticity for discontinuities and long-range forces. We use scaling of the micromodulus and horizon and discuss the particular features of adaptivity in peridynamics for which multiscale modeling and and refinement are closely connected. We discuss three types of numerical convergence for peridynamics and obtain uniform convergence to the classical solutions of static and dynamic elasticity problems in 1D in the limit of the horizon going to zero. Continuous micromoduli lead to optimal rates of convergence independent of the grid used, while discontinuous micromoduli produce optimal rates of convergence only for uniform grids. Examples for static and dynamic elasticity problems in 1D are shown. The relative error for the static and dynamic solutions obtained using adaptive refinement are significantly lower than those obtained using uniform refinement, for the same number of nodes.

Solar wind and magnetospheric measurements are analyzed with a superposed epoch technique, with the superpositions triggered by storm-convection onset, by onset of the relativistic-electron dropouts, and by recovery of the dropouts. It is found that the onset of dropout occurs after the passage of the IMF sector reversal prior to the passage of the corotating interaction region (CIR) stream interface. The recovery from dropout commences during the passage of the compressed fast wind. Relativistic-electron-dropout onset is temporally associated with the onset of the superdense ion and electron plasma sheet, with the onset of the extra-hot ion and electron plasma sheet and with the formation of the plasmaspheric drainage plume. Dropout recovery is associated with the termination of the superdense plasma sheet and with a decay of the plasmaspheric drainage plume. When there is appreciable spatial overlap of the superdense ion plasma sheet with the drainage plume, dropouts occur, and when that overlap ends, dropouts recover. This points to pitch-angle scattering by electromagnetic ion-cyclotron (EMIC) waves as the primary cause of the relativistic-electron dropouts, with the waves residing in the lumpy drainage plumes driven by the superdense ion plasma sheet. The drainage plume is caused by enhanced magnetospheric convection associated with southward (GSM) magnetic field after the IMF sector reversal. The superdense plasma sheet has its origin in the compressed slow wind of the CIR. C1 [Borovsky, Joseph E.] Los Alamos Natl Lab, Los Alamos, NM 87545 USA.

However, such approaches stil present a major challenge to computational chemists, not only because of the need for cry large computer time in order to evaluate the QM energy but also because of the need for proper computational sampling. This review focuses on the sampling issue in QM/MM evaluations of electrostatic energies in proteins. We chose this example since electrostatic energies play a major role in controlling the function of proteins and are key to the structure-function correlation of biological molecules. Thus, the correct treatment of electrostatics is essential for the accurate simulation of biological systems. Although we will be presenting different types of QM/MM calculations of electrostatic energies (and related properties) here, our focus will be on pK(a) calculations. This reflects the fact that pK(a)'s of ionizable groups in proteins provide one of the most direct benchmarks for the accuracy of electrostatic models of macromolecules. While pK(a) calculations by semimacroscopic models have given reasonable results in many cases, existing attempts to perform pX(a), calculations using QM/MM-FEP have led to discrepancies between calculated and experimental values. In this work, we accelerate our QM/MM calculations using an updated mean charge distribution and a classical reference potential. We examine both a surface residue (Asp3) of the bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor and a residue buried in a hydrophobic pocket (Lys 102) of the T4-lysozyme mutant. We demonstrate that, by using this approach, we are able to reproduce the relevant side chain pK(a)'s with an accuracy of 3 kcal/mol. This is well within the 7 kcal/mol energy difference observed in studies of enzymatic catalysis, and is thus sufficient accuracy to determine the main contributions to the catalytic energies of enzymes. We also provide all overall perspective of the potential of QM/MM calculations in general evaluations of electrostatic free energies, pointing out that our approach should provide a very powerful and accurate tool to predict the electrostatics of not only solution but also enzymatic reactions, as well as the solvation free energies of even larger systems, such as nucleic acid bases incorporated into DNA.

Temperature programmed desorption experiments over a range of Fe-0 and CCl4 coverages demonstrate a rich surface chemistry with several reaction products (C2Cl4, C2Cl6, OCCl2, CO, FeCl2, and FeCl3) observed. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy data show that the initial reactive interaction occurs spontaneously at 30 K, with the experimentally observed reaction products formed at higher temperature, in agreement with the results of theoretical calculations. The formation of OCCl2 and CO is concluded to occur through abstraction of O atoms from the generally inert FeO(111) substrate. The buffer layer assisted growth technique is used to show that the reactivity, and interestingly the reaction products, are determined by the size of Fe-0 nanoparticles which interact with CCl4.

A recent experimental study (Parkinson, G. S.; Dohnalek, Z.; Smith, R. S.; Kay, B. D. J. Phys. Chem. C 2009, 113, 1818) of this reaction, performed by dropping Fe atoms into CCl4 deposited on a cold FeO(111) surface, demonstrates rich chemistry with several products (C2Cl4, C2Cl6, OCCl2, CO, FeCl2, and FeCl3) observed. The reactions of Fe with CCl4 was studied under three stoichiometries, one Fe with one CCl4, one Fe With two CCl4 molecules, and two Fe with one CCl4, modeling the stoichiometric, CCl4-rich, and Fe-rich environments of the experimental work. The electronic structure calculations give insight into the reactions leading to the experimentally observed products, in particular with regard to the formation of FeCl3 and other oxygen containing compounds that are not predicted from the simplest reactive model of successive Cl atom abstractions. They rather suggest that novel Fe-C-Cl containing species are important intermediates in these reactions. The intermediate complexes are formed in highly exothermic reactions, in agreement with the experimentally observed reactivity on the surface at low temperature (30 K). This initial survey of the reactivity of Fe with CCl4 identifies some potential reaction pathways that are important in the effort to use Fe nanoparticles to differentiate harmful pathways that lead to the formation of contaminants like chloroform (CHCl3) from harmless pathways that lead to products such as formate (HCO2-) or carbon oxides in water and soil.

In agreement with prior studies, oxygen adatoms (O-a), hydroperoxyls (HO2), and terminal hvdroxyls (OHt) are observed as intermediates of the reactions with O-2 ultimately leading to H2O as a product. Here, we show that water plays an important role in the room-temperature reactions of O-2 with both partially and fully hydroxylated TiO2(110). On partially hydroxylated surfaces, water is found to be involved in the reaction cycle that leads to the consumption of O-a and V-O sites thus resulting in a practically O-a- and V-O-free surface. In these reactions, water is observed to participate in multiple ways-as a reactant, product, and catalyst. On fully hydroxylated TiO2(110), water is found to mediate the diffusion of surface species such as OHb that would otherwise be stationary and thus brings reactants together, catalyzing the reactions with O-2. As a result, the O-a, HO2, and OHt intermediates are not observed in STM, while OHb species are available on the surface.

Tandem mass spectra (MS/MS) were acquired from 1d gel electrophoresis bands and searched against all available gene models using Average Peptide Scoring (APS) and reverse database searching to produce confident identifications at an acceptable false discovery rate (FDR). Results: 405 identified peptide sequences were mapped to 214 different A. niger genomic loci to which 4093 predicted gene models clustered, 2872 of which contained the mapped peptides. Interestingly, 13 (6%) of these loci either had no preferred predicted gene model or the genome annotators' chosen "best" model for that genomic locus was not found to be the most parsimonious match to the identified peptides. The peptides identified also boosted confidence in predicted gene structures spanning 54 introns from different gene models. Conclusion: This work highlights the potential of integrating experimental proteomics data into genomic annotation pipelines much as expressed sequence tag (EST) data has been. A comparison of the published genome from another strain of A. niger sequenced by DSM showed that a number of the gene models or proteins with proteomics evidence did not occur in both genomes, further highlighting the utility of the method.

TI Structure of the F-spondin domain of mindin, an integrin ligand and pattern recognition molecule SO EMBO JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE extracellular matrix; innate immunity; integrin; mindin (spondin-2); structure ID MATRIX PROTEIN MINDIN; C-MANNOSYLATION; TYPE-1 REPEATS; O-FUCOSYLATION; CELL-ADHESION; FLOOR PLATE; I-DOMAIN; ALPHA(M)BETA(2); IDENTIFICATION; INSIGHTS AB Mindin (spondin-2) is an extracellular matrix protein of unknown structure that is required for efficient T-cell priming by dendritic cells. Additionally, mindin functions as a pattern recognition molecule for initiating innate immune responses. These dual functions are mediated by interactions with integrins and microbial pathogens, respectively. Mindin comprises an N-terminal F-spondin (FS) domain and C-terminal thrombospondin type 1 repeat (TSR). We determined the structure of the FS domain at 1.8-A resolution. The structure revealed an eight-stranded antiparallel beta-sandwich motif resembling that of membrane-targeting C2 domains, including a bound calcium ion. We demonstrated that the FS domain mediates integrin binding and identified the binding site by mutagenesis. The mindin FS domain therefore represents a new integrin ligand. We further showed that mindin recognizes lipopolysaccharide (LPS) through its TSR domain, and obtained evidence that C-mannosylation of the TSR influences LPS binding. Through these dual interactions, the FS and TSR domains of mindin promote activation of both adaptive and innate immune responses.

TI Buoyant convection resulting from dissolution and permeability growth in vertical limestone fractures SO GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS LA English DT Article ID NATURAL-CONVECTION AB Upward flow through vertical fractures in limestone formations under a geothermal gradient favors dissolution and permeability growth. We investigate the transition from conductive and forced convective regimes to instability and buoyant convection as a result of permeability growth. The onset time for instability and roll height at onset depend on the initial aperture and driving pressure. A modified Rayleigh number criterion is proposed, which provides a unified interpretation of the instability across a wide range of initial aperture and driving pressure. Interaction between buoyant convection and aperture alteration leads to narrow upward flow paths supporting dissolution and precipitation in surrounding downward flow regions.

However, direct evidence for this pervasive hypothesis has hitherto been unavailable. We demonstrate that individual differences in reward-based reversal learning reflect variation in baseline striatal dopamine synthesis capacity, as measured with neurochemical positron emission tomography. Subjects with high baseline dopamine synthesis in the striatum showed relatively better reversal learning from unexpected rewards than from unexpected punishments, whereas subjects with low baseline dopamine synthesis in the striatum showed the reverse pattern. In addition, baseline dopamine synthesis predicted the direction of dopaminergic drug effects. The D(2) receptor agonist bromocriptine improved reward-based relative to punishment-based reversal learning in subjects with low baseline dopamine synthesis capacity, while impairing it in subjects with high baseline dopamine synthesis capacity in the striatum. Finally, this pattern of drug effects was outcome-specific, and driven primarily by drug effects on punishment-, but not reward-based reversal learning. These data demonstrate that the effects of D(2) receptor stimulation on reversal learning in humans depend on task demands and baseline striatal dopamine synthesis capacity.

TI Adsorption sites on icosahedral quasicrystal surfaces: dark stars and white flowers SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICS-CONDENSED MATTER LA English DT Article ID AL-PD-MN; SCANNING-TUNNELING-MICROSCOPY; ENERGY-ELECTRON DIFFRACTION; FIVEFOLD SURFACE; AL70PD21MN9; NUCLEATION; DEPOSITION; ALPDMN; GROWTH; ATOMS AB From other work, two preferred sites have been suggested for metals and semimetals adsorbed on the fivefold surfaces of icosahedral, Al-based quasicrystals. Because of their appearance in scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) images, these sites are known as dark stars and white flowers. In this paper, we analyze four bulk structural models in physical space to determine the types, chemical decorations, and densities of the dark star-and, to a lesser extent, the white flower-adsorption sites for the fivefold planes of icosahedral Al-Pd-Mn. We find that the chemical decorations of these sites are heterogeneous, even within a single model. Both features are also structurally heterogeneous, according to STM measurements, and the structural variation is consistent with the bulk structure models. Finally, from the models, the density of dark stars in the planes correlates with the step height. This may explain previous experimental observations of different properties for different terraces.

Such supported bilayers have been studied extensively as models of the cell membrane, while their applications in drug delivery have not been pursued. In this communication, we report liposome fusion on mesoporous particles as a synergistic means to simultaneously toad and seat cargo within the porous core. We find fusion of a cationic lipid (DOTAP) on an anionic silica particle loads an anionic fluorescent dye (calcein) into the particle to a concentration exceeding 100x that in the surrounding medium. The loaded "protocell" particles are taken up efficiently by Chinese hamster ovary cells, where, due to a reduced pH within endosomal compartments, calcein is effectively released. Compared to some other nanoparticle systems, protocells provide a simple construct for cargo loading, seating, delivery, and release. They promise to serve as useful vectors in nanomedicine.

The surface layer of these similar to 4.8-nm diameter carbon particles consists mostly of sp(3)-hybridized C that is protonated or bonded to OH groups, while sp(2)-hybridized carbon makes up less than 1% of the material. The surface protons surprisingly resonate at 3.8 ppm, but their direct bonding to carbon is proved by fast dipolar dephasing under homonuclear decoupling. Long-range H-1-C-13 distance measurements, based on C-13{H-1} dipolar dephasing by surface protons, show that seven carbon layers, in a shell of 0.63 nm thickness that contains similar to 60% of all carbons, predominantly resonate more than +8 ppm from the 37-ppm peak of bulk diamond (i.e., within the 45-80 ppm range). Nitrogen detected in N-15 NMR spectra is mostly not protonated and can account for some of the high-frequency shift of carbon. The location of unpaired electrons (similar to 40 unpaired electrons per particle) was studied in detail, based on their strongly distance-dependent effects on T-1,T-C relaxation. The slower relaxation of the surface carbons, selected by spectral editing, showed that the unpaired electrons are not dangling bonds at the surface. This was confirmed by detailed simulations, which indicated that the unpaired electrons are mostly located in the disordered shell, at distances between 0.4 and 1 nm from the surface. On the basis of these results, a nonaromatic core-shell structural model of nanodiamond particles has been proposed.

The most important feature of this new amplification system is incorporated within the head of a scanning tunneling microscope (STM). This is achieved with a very low thermal dissipation radio frequency amplifier at the STM head. The amplifier gain is higher than 40 dB and has a 50 dB maximum. Further, the AC noise figure is 0.7 dB between 100 and 1000 MHz. The noise induced in the DC amplifier is less than 2 pA RMS (root mean square), which enables the microscope to scan over soft insulating molecular layers.

Breakthrough curves are measured for tracer pulses that migrate in a steady state flow field through a column that contains adjacent segments of coarse and fine porous media. The breakthrough curves show significant differences in behavior, with tracers migrating from fine medium to coarse medium arriving significantly faster than those from coarse medium to fine medium. As the flow rate increases, the differences between the breakthrough curves diminish. We argue that this behavior indicates the occurrence of significant, time-dependent tracer accumulation in the resident concentration profile across the heterogeneity interface. Conventional modeling using the advection-dispersion equation is demonstrated to be unable to capture this asymmetric behavior. However, tracer accumulation at the interface has been observed in particle-tracking simulations, which may be related to the asymmetry in the observed breakthrough curves.

We observe a trapped flavin C4a-OH or C4a-OO(H) adduct by single-crystal spectroscopic methods and in the 1.86 angstrom resolution X-ray crystal structure of choline oxidase. The microspectrophotometry results show that the adduct forms rapidly in situ at 100 K upon exposure to X-rays. Density functional theory calculations establish the electronic structures for the flavin C4a-OH and C4a-OO(H) adducts and estimate the stabilization energy of several active site hydrogen bonds deduced from the crystal structure. We propose that the enzyme-bound FAD is reduced in the X-ray beam. The aerobic crystals then form either a C4a-OH or C4a-OO(H) adduct, but an insufficient proton inventory prevents their decay at cryogenic temperatures.

A transition from metal-metal bonding to metal-solvent bonding occurs at a distance of 1 angstrom. Shortcomings in this model are assessed and related to the difficulty of dynamical sampling in ab initio treatments. The model is shown to provide a flexible basis for understanding the effect of system perturbations to the structure of the dissolution potential energy surface. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.

The observed Stark shift is due to the local electrostatic field induced by the carboxylic anions on the CNT surface. A theoretical model is developed to evaluate the contribution of the surface charges to the observed spectral shift ( up to 0.59 eV). Based on the present model, the Stark shift provides an effective method for evaluating the density of carboxyl groups on the surface of functionalized CNTs and can be used as a charge detector for QD-nanostructures.

The substrates are fabricated using a femtosecond laser nanostructuring process, followed by thermal deposition of silver.

We determine the equation of state as a function of density, temperature, and composition and, using thermodynamic integration, we estimate the Gibbs free energy of mixing, thereby determining the temperature, at a given pressure, when helium becomes insoluble in dense metallic hydrogen. These results are directly relevant to models of the interior structure and evolution of Jovian planets. We find that the temperatures for the demixing of helium and hydrogen are sufficiently high to cross the planetary adiabat of Saturn at pressures approximate to 5 Mbar; helium is partially miscible throughout a significant portion of the interior of Saturn, and to a lesser extent in Jupiter.

We discuss two kinds of signatures: (i) a peculiar spectral depletion due to gamma rays being converted into ALPs in the magnetic fields of efficient astrophysical accelerators according to the "Hillas criterion", such as jets of active galactic nuclei or hot spots of radio galaxies; (ii) an appearance of otherwise invisible sources in the GeV or TeV sky due to back-conversion of an ALP flux (associated with gamma-ray emitters suffering some attenuation) in the magnetic field of the Milky Way. These two mechanisms might also provide an exotic way to avoid the exponential cutoff of very high energy gamma-rays expected due to the pair production onto the extragalactic background light.

The NdNO(3)(2+) complex is weak and becomes slightly stronger as the temperature is increased. The enthalpy of complexation at 25 degrees C was determined by microcalorimetry to be small and positive, 1.5 +/- 0.2 kJ.mol(-1), in good agreement with the trend of the stability constant at variable temperatures. Luminescence emission spectra and the lifetime of Eu(III) in nitrate solutions suggest that inner-sphere and bidentate complexes form between trivalent lanthanides (Nd(3+) and Eu(3+)) and nitrate in aqueous solutions.

In this work using complete basis set (CBS-QB3) methods a plausible mechanism has been investigated for phosphine polymerization in the presence of nitric oxide (NO). Theoretical explorations with the ab initio method suggest (a) instead of the monomer the nitric oxide dimer acts as an initial oxidant, (b) the resulting phosphine oxides (H3P=O <-> H3P+O-) in the gas phase draw each other via strong dipolar interactions between the P-O groups, and (c) consequently an autocatalyzed polymerization occurs among the phosphine oxides, forming P-P chemical bonds and losing water. The possible structures of polyhydride phosphorus polymer were discussed. In the calculations a series of cluster models was computed to simulate polymerization.

TI mhFLIM: Resolution of heterogeneous fluorescence decays in widefield lifetime microscopy SO OPTICS EXPRESS LA English DT Article ID FREQUENCY-DOMAIN; IMAGING MICROSCOPY; ENERGY-TRANSFER; LIVING CELLS; FLIM; SYSTEM; PHASE AB Frequency-domain fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FD-FLIM) is a fast and accurate way of measuring fluorescence lifetimes in widefield microscopy. However, the resolution of multiple exponential fluorescence decays has remained beyond the reach of most practical FD-FLIM systems. In this paper we describe the implementation of FD-FLIM using a 40MHz pulse train derived from a supercontinuum source for excitation. The technique, which we term multi-harmonic FLIM (mhFLIM), makes it possible to accurately resolve biexponential decays of fluorophores without any a priori information. The system's performance is demonstrated using a mixture of spectrally similar dyes of known composition and also on a multiply-labeled biological sample. The results are compared to those obtained from time correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) microscopy and a good level of agreement is achieved. We also demonstrate the first practical application of an algorithm derived by G. Weber [1] for analysing mhFLIM data. Because it does not require nonlinear minimisation, it offers potential for realtime analysis during acquisition. (C) 2009 Optical Society of America C1 [Schlachter, S.; Elder, A.

Dependence of the open circuit voltage and fill factor on temperature has been estimated. Bandgap value calculated from the intercept of the linear extrapolation was 1.1-1.2 eV.

Cross-sections of these samples were analyzed by electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) in a scanning electron microscope in order to reveal the microstructures in the Cu(in,Ga)Se-2 layers. In addition, the preferential orientations of these Cu(In,Ga)Se-2 layers were studied by plan-view EBSD measurements. It was found that Cu(In,Ga)Se-2 exhibits a texture in 110 orientation for Se/(Cu+In+Ga) atomic flux ratios R which are sufficiently large (>= 4). In one Cu(In,Ga)Se-2 layer produced with approximately R=4, a large density of(near) Sigma 3 (twin) boundaries were detected which are oriented preferentially perpendicular to the substrate. By comparison of the local textures of neighboring grains and the theoretically possible changes in orientation by twinning, it is possible to retrace how the twinning occurred.

The degradation significantly affects device performance and electro-optical measurements. Measuring films prior to degradation reveals long lifetimes and distinct recombination properties. For high-quality material. the surface recombination velocity at grain boundaries, bare CIGS surfaces, and CIGS/CdS interfaces is less than 10(3) cm/s, and lifetime values are often greater than 50 ns. In high injection, CIGS has recombination properties similar to GaAs. On completed devices, charge-separation dynamics can be characterized. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

This reduces the space-charge width (W(d)) of the junction and enhances cur-rent collection and open-circuit voltage. Here we study the effect of Cu concentration in the CdTe layer on carrier lifetime (tau) using time-resolved photoluminescence measurements of ZnTe:Cu/Ti-contacted CdTe devices. Measurements show that if the ZnTe:Cu layer thickness remains constant and contact temperature is varied, tau increases significantly above its as-deposited value when the contacting temperature is in a range that has been shown to yield high-performance devices (-280 degrees to -320 degrees C). However, when the contacting temperature is maintained near an optimum value and the ZnTe:Cu thickness is varied, tau decreases with ZnTe:Cu thickness. Published by Elsevier B.V. C1 [Gessert, T.

In general, it is not possible to draw conclusions about the Cu(In, Ga)Se(2) thin-film microstructure based on its texture and vice versa. From cathodoluminescence and electron backscatter diffraction measurements acquired on the same area of a CuInS(2) cross-section sample, it is concluded that the density of non-radiating recombination centers at random boundaries is substantially larger than that at Sigma 3 (twin) boundaries. Evaluation of reconstructed phase images from transmission electron microscopy focus series revealed considerably larger mean-inner potential wells at a random boundary as compared with Sigma 3 (twin) boundaries.

TI Extra-Precise Iterative Refinement for Overdetermined Least Squares Problems SO ACM TRANSACTIONS ON MATHEMATICAL SOFTWARE LA English DT Article DE Algorithms; Reliability; Linear algebra; LAPACK; BLAS; floating-point arithmetic ID ERROR-BOUNDS; PERTURBATION AB We present the algorithm, error bounds, and numerical results for extra-precise iterative refinement applied to overdetermined linear least squares (LLS) problems. We apply our linear system refinement algorithm to Bjorck's augmented linear system formulation of an LLS problem. Our algorithm reduces the forward normwise and componentwise errors to O(epsilon(w)), where ew is the working precision, unless the system is too ill conditioned. In contrast to linear systems, we provide two separate error bounds for the solution x and the residual r. The refinement algorithm requires only limited use of extra precision and adds only O(mn) work to the O(mn(2)) cost of QR factorization for problems of size m-by-n. The extra precision calculation is facilitated by the new extended-precision BLAS standard in a portable way, and the refinement algorithm will be included in a future release of LAPACK and can be extended to the other types of least squares problems.

The zinc foils remain conductive even after the growth of ZnO nanorods on its surface. The success of this synthesis largely relies on the level of control over oxygen introduction. By replacing zinc foils with zinc microspheres, unique and sophisticated urchin-like ZnO nanorod assemblies can be readily obtained.

The microcantilever devices were prepared by precoating one surface with a gold film and allowing the palindromic [3]rotaxane molecules to adsorb selectively onto one side of the microcantilevers, utilizing thiol-gold chemistry. An electrochemical cell was employed in the experiments, and deflections were monitored both as a function of (i) the scan rate (<= 20 mV s(-1)) and (ii) the time for potential step experiments at oxidizing (> +0.4 V) and reducing (< +0.2 V) potentials. The different directions and magnitudes of the deflections for the microcantilevers, which were coated with artificial molecular muscles, were compared with (i) data from nominally bare microcantilevers precoated with gold and (ii) those coated with two types of control compounds, namely, dumbbell molecules to simulate the redox activity of the palindromic bistable [3]rotaxane molecules and inactive 1-dodecanethiol molecules. The comparisons demonstrate that the artificial molecular muscles are responsible for the deflections, which can be repeated over many cycles. The microcantilevers deflect in one direction following oxidation and in the opposite direction upon reduction. The similar to 550 nm deflections were calculated to be commensurate with forces per molecule of similar to 650 pN. The thermal relaxation that characterizes the device's deflection is consistent with the double bistability associated with the palindromic [3]rotaxane and reflects a metastable contracted state. The use of the cooperative forces generated by these self-assembled, nanometer-scale artificial molecular muscles that are electrically wired to an external power supply constitutes a seminal step toward molecular-machine-based nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS).

Using X-ray absorption and photoemission spectroscopy, the conduction band (0) and valence band (VB) edge shifts as a function of particle size have been determined and combined to obtain the true band gap of the QDs (i.e., without an exciton). These values can be compared to the excitonic gap obtained using optical spectroscopy to determine the EBE. The experimental EBE results are compared with theoretical calculations on the EBE and show excellent agreement. C1 [Meulenberg, Robert W.; Lee, Jonathan R.

As such, they are difficult to characterize structurally. In this report, we demonstrate how high-energy X-ray diffraction and atomic pair distribution function analysis can be used to determine the atomic-scale structures of MnOx produced by bacteria and fungi. These structures are well-defined, periodic, and species-specific, built of Mn-O-6 octahedra forming birnessite-type layers and todorokite-type tunnels, respectively. The inherent structural diversity of biogenic material may offer opportunities for practical applications. C1 [Petkov, V.] Cent Michigan Univ, Dept Phys, Mt Pleasant, MI 48859 USA.

Removal of solvent from Ca(BH4)(2)center dot 2THF results in various mixtures of alpha- and beta-polymorphs of Ca(BH4)(2). These mixtures were studied by in situ synchrotron powder diffraction in argon atmosphere. The alpha-Ca(BH4)(2) structure crystallizes in the noncentrosymmetric space group F2dd, and contains an ordered BH4- anion. Upon increasing the temperature, the cell parameters a and c of the alpha-phase approach each other, and at similar to 495 K, a second order alpha -> alpha' transition takes place resulting in a tetragonal alpha'-phase of space group I-42d, a supergroup of F2dd. The structure of beta-Ca(BH4)(2), which is 3.7-5.6% denser depending on temperature, was described in space group P-4. Crystal structures, variation of the cell parameters, and weight fraction are reported for the three Ca(BH4)(2) phases as a function of temperature. (c) 2008 Acta Materialia Inc.

The early stages of decomposition were characterized in Ni Nb Y alloys with Ni contents of more than 60 at.%. Strongly correlated chemical fluctuations with a nanometer length scale Were found to exist in the as-quenched state. The observed fluctuation lengths range from 5 to 12 nm, depending on the actual composition or the glass. The "Frozen-in" early stages of decomposition occur in the deeply undercooled melt due to the reduction in the critical temperature of liquid-liquid phase separation with Ni content. Annealing of the phase-separated Ni(70)Nb(15)Y(15) glass below the crystallization temperature leads to an increase in the amplitude of the fluctuations. However, the wavelength Was unchanged, which provides evidence for the spinodal character of the decomposition. (C) 2009 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

TI Development of intergranular thermal residual stresses in beryllium during cooling from processing temperatures SO ACTA MATERIALIA LA English DT Article DE Neutron diffraction; Residual stresses; Beryllium; Powder processing ID ROD TEXTURE; ZIRCALOY-2; DEFORMATION AB The intergranular thermal residual stresses in texture-free solid polycrystalline beryllium were determined by comparison of crystallographic lattice parameters in solid and powder samples measured by neutron diffraction during cooling from 800 degrees C. The internal stresses are not significantly different front zero >575 degrees C and increase nearly linearly <525 degrees C. At room temperature, the c axis of an average grain is under similar to 200 MPa of compressive internal stress, and the a axis is under 100 MPa of tensile stress. For comparison, the stresses have also been calculated using an Eshelby-type polycrystalline model. The measurements and calculations agree very well when temperature dependence of elastic constants is accounted for, and no plastic relaxation is allowed in the model. (C) 2008 Acta Materialia Inc.

The Pd-doped film exhibited enhanced H(2) gas-sensing performance. in terms of higher sensitivity and shorter response time. Structural characterization was performed to investigate the effect of Pd doping on the microstructure evolution of the films. The grain and pore size of Pd-doped film, as measured using transmission electron microscopy and grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS), are both smaller than those of undoped film. In particular. the pore size evolution of the films during annealing was quantitatively monitored in situ using synchrotron-based GISAXS. Knudsen gas diffusion and depletion layer models were employed to evaluate the microstructure influence on the gas sensitivity semi-quantitatively, The results suggest that the microstructure of the Pd-doped film is critical for improving the gas sensitivity but Cannot account for the total sensitivity enhancement. implying other mechanisms Could play a more important role.

Their shells and soft tissues provide information on the environments in which they live. Since they are filter feeders, they also are factors in improving water quality through removal of particulate matter from the water column. Finally, they are a valuable food source that has substantial economic value. Hence, characterization of shells and soft tissues is useful for improved understanding of these factors. Here, we used X-ray microprobes and computed microtomography facilities at the Brookhaven National Synchrotron Light Source to investigate elemental distributions in bivalves taken from locations around New York, Washington, DC, and New Orleans, LA. The results form the initial basis for compilation of a database of relevant parameters that can serve for tracking environmental changes and for assessing toxicity of particular metals. The work was enabled by active collaboration with students from the several regions, community groups, and research scientists. The collaboration was facilitated through use of web conferencing between Brookhaven National Laboratory and the varied locations. C1 [Jones, K.

TI QUANTIFYING SOCIAL AND OPPORTUNISTIC BEHAVIOR IN EMAIL NETWORKS SO ADVANCES IN COMPLEX SYSTEMS LA English DT Article DE Complex networks; email networks; opportunistic behavior ID HEAVY TAILS; COMMUNITY; COMMUNICATION AB Email graphs have been used to illustrate the general properties of social networks of communication and collaboration. However, increasingly, the majority of Internet traffic reflects opportunistic rather than symbiotic social relations. Here we use email data drawn from a large university to construct directed graphs of email exchange that quantify the differences between social and opportunistic behavior, represented by legitimate messages and spam, respectively. We show that while structural characteristics typical of other social networks are shared to a large extent by the legitimate component, they are not characteristic of opportunistic traffic. To complement the graph analysis, which suffers from incomplete knowledge of users external to the domain, we study temporal patterns of communication to show dynamical properties of email traffic. The results indicate that social email traffic has lower entropy (higher structural information) than opportunistic traffic for periods covering both working and non-working hours. We see in general that both social and opportunistic traffics are not random, and that social email shows stronger temporal structure with a high probability for long silences and bursts of a few messages. These findings offer insights into the fundamental differences between social and opportunistic behavior in email networks, and may generalize to the structure of opportunistic social relations in other environments.

TI Delineation of geological facies from poorly differentiated data SO ADVANCES IN WATER RESOURCES LA English DT Article DE Geostatistics; Nearest neighbor; Undifferentiated; Classification; Measurement error AB The ability to delineate geologic facies and to estimate their properties from sparse data is essential for modeling physical and biochemical processes occurring in the subsurface. If such data are poorly differentiated, this challenging task is complicated further by the absence of a clear distinction between differentiated, hydrofacies at locations where data are available. We consider three alternative approaches for analysis of poorly differentiated data: a k-means clustering algorithm, an expectation-maximization algorithm, and a mini mum-variance algorithm. Two distinct synthetically generated geological settings are used to analyze the ability of these algorithms to assign accurately the membership of such data in a given geologic facies. On average, the minimum-variance algorithm provides a more robust performance than its two counterparts, and when combined with a nearest neighbor algorithm, it also yields the most accurate reconstruction of the boundaries between the facies.

TI Anisotropic effective medium solutions of head and velocity variance to quantify flow connectivity SO ADVANCES IN WATER RESOURCES LA English DT Article DE Flow connectivity; Effective medium theory; Self-consistent approach ID HETEROGENEOUS AQUIFERS; GROUNDWATER-FLOW; SPATIAL VARIABILITY; STOCHASTIC-ANALYSIS; INDICATOR; TRANSMISSIVITY; DISPERSION; TRANSPORT; MODELS; WATER AB Most methods for upscaling flow and transport in heterogeneous media from the measurement scale to the simulation scale for field applications generally focus on the prediction of values of effective permeability and apparent dispersion coefficients. Although typically considered as secondary data, measures of head variance sigma(2)(phi) and velocity variance sigma(2)(qx) also contain valuable information on the level of heterogeneity of the hydraulic conductivity (K) distribution of the soil. In particular, we investigate the suitability of sigma(2)(phi) and sigma(2)(qx) to yield insight into the potential occurrence of flow barriers and preferential pathways, which significantly affect flow connectivity. Before the application of complex numerical simulators, a proper understanding of the actual link between head and velocity variance, and the spatial distribution of K can be obtained using closed-form solutions. In this paper, semi-analytical expressions of effective permeability, head variance, and velocity variance are derived for saturated flow in two-dimensional anisotropic porous media. The expressions are obtained using the methodology initially proposed by Dagan [Dagan G. Models of groundwater flow in statistically homogeneous porous formations. Water Resour Res 1979;15(1):47-63] for isotropic heterogeneous formations. The solutions are illustrated in the case of binary heterogeneous media and compared to results from numerical simulations of steady-state flow in random K fields. It is found that the self-consistent solution generally yields relatively poor results when applied to the prediction of head statistics, while both longitudinal and transverse velocity variance are correctly predicted in all cases. The results of the numerical simulations are also used to illustrate the link between sigma(2)(phi), sigma(2)(qx), and flow connectivity. Although head variance is not a stationary property of two-dimensional flow fields, and hence might not exactly represent an intrinsic property of flow such as connectivity, it is found that sigma(2)(phi) is negatively correlated to effective permeability K(ex) for poorly connected K fields. On the contrary, sigma(2)(qx) is found to be positively correlated to K(ex) for all levels of connectivity. Therefore, the results suggest that these statistics of the flow field could be used to quantify flow connectivity when measures of other indicators are not available. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.

In this study, we have analyzed the variability of V4 in proviral DNA from unfractionated PBMC and sorted T and non-T cell populations within individual patients. Our data show that the degree of sequence variability and length polymorphism in V4 from HIV provirus is even higher than we previously reported in plasma. The data also show that the sequence of V4 depends largely on the experimental approach chosen. We could observe no clear trend for compartmentalization of V4 variants in specific cell types. Of interest is the fact that some variants that had been found to be predominant in plasma were not detected in any of the cell subsets analyzed. Consistently with our observations in plasma, V3 was found to be relatively conserved at both interpatient and intrapatient level. Our data show that V4 polymorphism involving insertions and deletions in addition to point mutations results in changes in the patterns of sequons in HIV-1 proviral DNA as well as in plasma RNA. These rearrangements may result in the coexistence, within the same individual, of a swarm of different V4 regions, each characterized by a different carbohydrate surface shield. Further studies are needed to investigate the mechanism responsible for the variability observed in V4 and its role in HIV pathogenesis.

TI Quantification of Technetium-99 in Complex Groundwater Matrixes Using a Radiometric Preconcentrating Minicolumn Sensor in an Equilibration-Based Sensing Approach SO ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY LA English DT Article ID ANION-EXCHANGE RESINS; NEVADA TEST-SITE; FLOW-INJECTION; SEQUENTIAL INJECTION; CONTAMINATED GROUNDWATER; RADIONUCLIDE SENSORS; IMPROVED SELECTIVITY; RENEWABLE COLUMN; SYSTEM; TECHNETIUM AB A preconcentrating minicolumn sensor for technetium-99 detection in water consists of a packed bed containing a mixture of anion-exchange resin and scintillating plastic beads. The column materials are contained in a transparent plastic flow cell placed between two photomultiplier tubes for radiometric detection. Upon retention of pertechnetate anions, the radioactive decay of Tc-99 results in detectable scintillation pulses that are counted in coincidence. In equilibration-based sensing mode, the sample is pumped through the packed bed until complete chromatographic equilibrium is achieved between the activity concentration in the water sample and the concentration on the anion-exchange resin. The analytical signal is the observed steady-state count rate at equilibrium. The sensitivity is related to a measurement efficiency parameter that is the product of the retention volume and the absolute radiometric detection efficiency. This sensor can readily detect pertechnetate to levels 10 times below the drinking water standard of 0.033 Bq/mL. The potential for other anions in natural groundwater and contaminated groundwater plumes to interfere with pertechnetate detection and quantification has been examined in detail, with reference to the groundwater chemistry at the Hanford site in Washington state. Individual anions such as nitrate, carbonate, chloride, and iodide, at natural or elevated concentrations, do not interfere significantly with pertechnetate uptake on the anion-exchange resin. Elevated chromate or sulfate anion concentrations can interfere with pertechnetate uptake by the resin, but only at levels substantially higher than typical concentrations in groundwater or contamination plumes. Nevertheless, elevated anion concentrations may reduce pertechnetate uptake and sensitivity of the sensor when present in combination. Chromate is retained on the anion-exchange resin from water at parts-per-billion levels, leading to an orange stain that interferes with pertechnetate detection by the absorption of scintillation light pulses (color quench). Radioactivity from radioiodine, tritium, and uranium is not expected to create a significant positive bias in ground-water analyses. A method of automated fluidic standard addition is demonstrated that corrects for matrix interferences leading to accurate analyses over a wide range of groundwater compositions. Ibis method is developed for automated groundwater monitoring applications. C1 [O'Hara, Matthew J.; Grate, Jay W.] Pacific NW Natl Lab, Richland, WA 99352 USA.

TI Automated Radioanalytical System for the Determination of Sr-90 in Environmental Water Samples by Y-90 Cherenkov Radiation Counting SO ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY LA English DT Article ID SOLID-PHASE EXTRACTION; UNIVERSAL SAMPLING/ANALYTICAL SYSTEM; SEQUENTIAL INJECTION METHOD; IN-SITU; RADIONUCLIDE SENSORS; RAPID-DETERMINATION; CERENKOV COUNTER; NUCLEAR-WASTE; GROUNDWATER; SEPARATIONS AB Strontium-90 is an environmental contaminant at several U.S. Department of Energy sites, including the Hanford site, Washington. Due to its high biological toxicity and moderately long half-life of similar to 29 years, groundwater and surface water contamination plumes containing Sr-90 must be closely monitored. The highly energetic P radiation from the short-lived Y-90 daughter of Sr-90 generates Cherenkov photons in aqueous media that can be detected by photomultiplier tubes with good sensitivity, without the use of scintillation cocktails. A laboratory-based automated fluid handling system coupled to a Cherenkov radiation detector for measuring Sr-90 via the high-energy beta decay of its daughter, Y-90, has been assembled and tested using standards prepared in Hanford groundwater. A Superlig 620 column in the system enables preconcentration and separation of Sr-90 from matrix and radiological interferences and, by removing the Y-90 present in the sample, creates a pure Sr-90 source from which subsequent Y-90 ingrowth can be measured. This Y-90 is fluidically transferred from the column to the Cherenkov detection flow cell for quantification and calculation of the original 90Sr concentration. Preconcentrating 0.35 L sample volumes by this approach, we have demonstrated a detection limit of 0.057 Bq/L using a 5 mL volume Cherenkov flow cell, which is below the drinking water limit of 0.30 Bq/L. This method does not require that the sample be at secular equilibrium prior to measurement.. The system can also deliver water samples directly to the counting cell for analysis without preconcentration or separation, assuming that the sample is in secular equilibrium, with a detection limit of 7 Bq/L. The performance of the analysis method using a preconcentrating separation column is characterized in detail and compared with direct counting. This method is proposed as the basis for an automated fluidic monitor for Sr-90 for unattended at-site operation. C1 [Burge, Scott R.] Burge Environm Inc, Tempe, AZ 85283 USA.

The detection limit can reach down to 0.2 amol of NAD(+) and 1 amol of NADH with a homemade capillary electrophoresis laser-induced fluorescence (CE-LIF) setup. This method shows good reproducibility and specificity. After an intact cell is injected into the capillary and lysed using a Tesla coil, intracellular NAD(+) and NADH were separated, incubated with the cycling buffer, and quantified by recording the amount of fluorescent product generated. Cellular NAD(+) and NADH levels of a rat myoblast cell line were determined using this method. Both NAD(+) and NADH levels decreased when the cells were exposed to oxidative stress induced by H2O2. This may be due to the activation of the DNA repair enzyme, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase, in response to the oxidative damage imposed on DNA, since pretreatment of the cells with an inhibitor of these enzymes prevented the reduction of cellular NAD(+) and NADH levels.

Our goal is to identify endophytic bacteria that improve the biomass production and the carbon sequestration potential of poplar trees (Populus spp.) when grown in marginal soil and to gain an insight in the mechanisms underlying plant growth promotion. Members of the Gammaproteobacteria dominated a collection of 78 bacterial endophytes isolated from poplar and willow trees. As representatives for the dominant genera of endophytic gammaproteobacteria, we selected Enterobacter sp. strain 638, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia R551-3, Pseudomonas putida W619, and Serratia proteamaculans 568 for genome sequencing and analysis of their plant growth-promoting effects, including root development. Derivatives of these endophytes, labeled with gfp, were also used to study the colonization of their poplar hosts. In greenhouse studies, poplar cuttings (Populus deltoides x Populus nigra DN-34) inoculated with Enterobacter sp. strain 638 repeatedly showed the highest increase in biomass production compared to cuttings of noninoculated control plants. Sequence data combined with the analysis of their metabolic properties resulted in the identification of many putative mechanisms, including carbon source utilization, that help these endophytes to thrive within a plant environment and to potentially affect the growth and development of their plant hosts. Understanding the interactions between endophytic bacteria and their host plants should ultimately result in the design of strategies for improved poplar biomass production on marginal soils as a feedstock for biofuels.

TI Rapid Processing of Net-Shape Thermoplastic Planar-Random Composite Preforms SO APPLIED COMPOSITE MATERIALS LA English DT Article DE Preforming; Net-shape; Thermoplastic composites; Stamp forming ID GLASS; DECONSOLIDATION AB A novel thermoplastic composite preforming and moulding process is investigated to target cost issues in textile composite processing associated with trim waste, and the limited mechanical properties of current bulk flow-moulding composites. The thermoplastic programmable powdered preforming process (TP-P4) uses commingled glass and polypropylene yarns, which are cut to length before air assisted deposition onto a vacuum screen, enabling local preform areal weight tailoring. The as-placed fibres are heat-set for improved handling before an optional preconsolidation stage. The preforms are then preheated and press formed to obtain the final part. The process stages are examined to optimize part quality and throughput versus processing parameters. A viable processing route is proposed with typical cycle times below 40 s (for a plate 0.5 x 0.5 m(2), weighing 2 kg), enabling high production capacity from one line. The mechanical performance is shown to surpass that of 40 wt.% GMT and has properties equivalent to those of 40 wt.% GMTex at both 20A degrees C and 80A degrees C. C1 [Jespersen, S.

The scheme is coupled with an operator-splitting algorithm to solve the reaction-diffusion equation. For the reaction sub-steps, locally valid basis vectors, obtained via POD and the method of snapshots, are used to project the minor species mass fractions onto a reduced dimensional space thereby decreasing the number of equations that govern combustion chemistry. The method is applied to a one-dimensional, laminar premixed CH4-air flame using GRImech 3.0; with errors less than 0.25%, a speed-up factor of 3.5 is observed. The speed-up results from fewer source term evaluations required to compute the Jacobian matrices. (c) 2008 IMACS. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Exciting HgCl2 via the 1(1)Pi(u) <- 1(1)Sigma(+)(g) transition, time-resolved measurements of emission from the Hg(6(3)p(1)) daughter in buffer-gas mixtures of N-2, O-2, and CO2 indicate that the fragmentation pathway passes through a long-lived intermediate species, which we assign to Hg(6(3)P(2)). Total quenching rate coefficients of Hg(6(3)P(1)) by N-2, O-2, and CO2 are consistent with values reported in the literature. In addition, total quenching rate coefficients for the intermediate Hg(6(3)P(2)) state are determined to be 1.72(+/- 0.08) x 10(-10) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1) and 2.90(+/- 0.37) x 10(-10) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1) for N-2 and O-2, respectively. An analysis of the impact of the collisionally dependent energy-transfer process that precedes the formation of Hg(6(3)P(1)) on the use of PFE to measure HgCl2 concentration is presented.

TI Round-robin measurements of two candidate materials for a Seebeck coefficient Standard Reference Material (TM) SO APPLIED PHYSICS A-MATERIALS SCIENCE & PROCESSING LA English DT Article AB A Standard Reference Material (SRM (TM)) for the Seebeck coefficient is critical for inter-laboratory data comparison and for instrument calibration. To develop this SRM T, we have conducted an international round-robin measurement survey of two candidate materials-undoped Bi(2)Te(3) and constantan (55% Cu and 45% Ni alloy). Measurements were performed in two rounds by twelve laboratories involved in active thermoelectric research using a number of commercial and custom-built measurement systems and techniques. We report the results of these measurements and the statistical analysis performed. Based on this extensive study, we have selected Bi(2)Te(3) as the prototype standard material. C1 [Lowhorn, N.

This paper describes two methods for solving these problems: direct nonlinear (DNL) estimation of all parameters and separable least squares (SLS). The DNL method can be applied to reactions of any rate law, while the SLS method is restricted to first-order reactions. In SLS, the inherently linear and nonlinear parameters of first-order reactions are solved in separate linear and nonlinear steps, respectively. The new methods are demonstrated using simulated data sets and an experimental data set involving photobleaching of several fluorophores. This work demonstrates that both DNL, and SLS hard-modeling methods applied to the kinetic modeling of temporally resolved hyperspectral images can outperform traditional soft-modeling and hard/soft-modeling methods which use multivariate curve resolution-alternating least squares (MCR-ALS) methods. In addition, the SLS method is much faster and is able to analyze much larger data sets than the DNL method.

First a more realistic three-dimensional distribution of fibers dispersed in a matrix phase is reproduced by a developed random generation-growth method to eliminate the overrated inter-fiber contacts by the two-dimensional simulations. The energy transport governing equations are then solved through the three-dimensional structures using a high-efficiency lattice Boltzmann scheme. The resultant predictions agree well with the available experimental data. Compared with the existing theoretical models, the present method does not depend upon empirical parameters which have to be determined case by case, so that it is useful for design and optimization for new materials, beyond prediction and analysis just for existing composites.

In an evaporative system, atmospheric parameters (humidity and isotopic composition of water vapor) have strong influence on the isotopic behavior of saline lakes, and in a freezing system, salinity build-up largely controls the extent of freezing and associated isotope fractionation. In both systems, salinity has a direct impact on the isotopic evolution of saline lakes. It is proposed that a steady-state "terminal lake" model with short-term hydrologic and environmental perturbations can serve as a useful framework for investigating both evaporative and freezing processes of perennial saline lakes. Through re-assessment of own work and literature data for saline lakes, it was demonstrated that effective uses of the isotope activity compositions of brines and salinity-chemistry data could reveal dynamic changes and evolution in the isotopic compositions of saline lakes in response to hydrologic and environmental changes. The residence time of isotopic water molecules in lakes determines the nature of responses in the isotopic compositions following perturbations in the water and isotope balances (e.g., dilution by inflow, water deficit by increased evaporation, and/or reduction in inflow). The isotopic profiles of some saline lakes from the Polar regions show that they switched the two contrasting modes of operation between evaporative and freezing systems, in response to climate and hydrological changes in the past.

TI Surface ozone background in the United States: Canadian and Mexican pollution influences SO ATMOSPHERIC ENVIRONMENT LA English DT Article DE Background ozone; Surface ozone; Air quality standard; Chemical transport model; Global model ID TROPOSPHERIC OZONE; NORTH-AMERICA; AIR-QUALITY; VARIABILITY; EMISSIONS; TRANSPORT; SATELLITE; CHEMISTRY; AIRCRAFT; METHANE AB We use a global chemical transport model (GEOS-Chem) with 1 degrees x 1 degrees horizontal resolution to quantify the effects of anthropogenic emissions from Canada, Mexico, and outside North America on daily maximum 8-hour average ozone concentrations in US surface air. Simulations for summer 2001 indicate mean North American and US background concentrations of 26 +/- 8 ppb and 30 +/- 8 ppb, as obtained by eliminating anthropogenic emissions in North America vs. in the US only. The US background never exceeds 60 ppb in the model. The Canadian and Mexican pollution enhancement averages 3 +/- 4 ppb in the US in summer but can be occasionally much higher in downwind regions of the northeast and southwest, peaking at 33 ppb in upstate New York (on a day with 75 ppb total ozone) and 18 ppb in southern California (on a day with 68 ppb total ozone). The model is successful in reproducing the observed variability of ozone in these regions, including the occurrence and magnitude of high-ozone episodes influenced by transboundary pollution. We find that exceedances of the 75 ppb US air quality standard in eastern Michigan, western New York, New Jersey, and southern California are often associated with Canadian and Mexican pollution enhancements in excess of 10 ppb. Sensitivity simulations with 2020 emission projections suggest that Canadian pollution influence in the Northeast US will become comparable in magnitude to that from domestic power plants.

A total of 342 GPS time-stamped cloud-to-ground (CG) flashes were recorded in 17 different sessions, and 311 (91%) of these were correlated with reports from the NLDN. Only 6 of the 17 recording sessions were dominated by flashes that lowered negative charge to ground, and 11 were dominated by positive CG flashes. A total of 103 flashes recorded on video were correlated with at least one NLDN report of negative CC strokes, 204 video flashes were correlated with one or two positive stroke reports, and 4 had bipolar reports. In this paper, we will give distributions of the estimated peak current, I(p), as reported by the NLDN, of negative and positive first strokes that were recorded on video, the multiplicity of strokes that were recorded on video, and the number of ground contacts per flash that were resolved on video. 41 (40%) of the negative flashes produced just a single-stroke on video, and 62 (60%) showed two or more strokes. The observed multiplicity of negative flashes averaged 2.83, which becomes about 3.14 after correcting for the finite time-resolution of the video camera. 195 (96%) of the positive flashes produced just a single-stroke on video, and 9 (4%) showed two strokes; therefore, the observed multiplicity of positive flashes averaged 1.04. Five out of 9 (56%) of the positive subsequent strokes re-illuminated a previous channel, and 4 out of 9 (44%) created a new ground contact. Simultaneous video, LASA, and NLDN measurements also allowed us to examine the classification of NLDN reports during 3 single-cell storms (one negative and two positive). Based on the LASA waveforms, a total of 204 out of 376 (54%) NLDN reports of CG strokes were determined to be for cloud pulses. The misclassified negative reports had vertical bar I(p)vertical bar values ranging from 3.8 kA to 29.7 kA, but only 58 (24%) of these had vertical bar I(p)vertical bar > 10 kA, and only one misclassified positive report had I(p)>20 kA. Radar analyses showed that most of the negative and positive CG strokes that were recorded on video were produced within or near the convective cores of storms. The radar imagery also showed that single-cell storms tended to produce one polarity of CG flashes at a time, and that such storms could switch rapidly from negative to positive CG flashes when the reflectivity was near maximum, Multiple-cell storms produced both negative and positive flashes over a broad region, but each polarity tended to cluster near regions of high-reflectivity.

The kinetochore is a unique structure that attaches chromosomes to the microtubule spindle, monitors proper chromosome attachment to the spindle through the mitotic checkpoint, and Couples spindle and motor protein forces to move chromosomes during prometaphase and anaphase. The centromere is a specialized chromosomal site that is the structural and functional foundation for kinetochore formation, and is characterized by a unique type of chromatin that needs to be reconstituted after each replication cycle. In this review, recent progress ill understanding the structural nature of this chromatin and how it is specifically maintained through cell division are discussed.

TI Two Arabidopsis orthologs of the transcriptional coactivator ADA2 have distinct biological functions SO BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA-GENE REGULATORY MECHANISMS LA English DT Article DE Histone acetylation; Transcriptional coactivator; Abiotic stress ID HISTONE ACETYLTRANSFERASE COMPLEX; GENE-EXPRESSION; SANT DOMAIN; GCN5; ACETYLATION; DROSOPHILA; CHROMATIN; ACTIVATION; HOMOLOGS; PROTEINS AB Histone acetylation is an example of covalent modification of chromatin structure that has the potential to regulate gene expression. Gcn5 is a prototypical histone acetyltransferase that associates with the transcriptional coactivator Ada2. In Arabidopsis, two genes encode proteins that resemble yeast ADA2 and share approximately 45% amino acid sequence identity. We previously reported that plants harboring a T-DNA insertion in the ADA2b gene display a dwarf phenotype with developmental defects in several organs. Here we describe T-DNA insertion alleles in the ADA2a gene, which result in no dramatic growth or developmental phenotype. Both ADA2a and ADA2b are expressed in a variety of plant tissues; moreover, expression of ADA2a from a constitutive promoter fails to complement the ada2b-1 mutant phenotype, consistent with the hypothesis that the two proteins have distinct biochemical roles. To further probe the cellular roles of ADA2a and ADA2b, we studied the response of the transcriptional coactivator mutants to abiotic stress. Although ada2b seedlings display hypersensitivity to salt and abscisic acid and altered responses to low temperature stress, the responses of ada2a seedlings to abiotic stress generally parallel those of wildtype plants. Intriguingly, ada2a;ada2b double mutant plants display an intermediate, gcn5-like phenotype, suggesting that ADA2a and ADA2b each work independently with GCN5 to affect genome function in Arabidopsis.

TI Optimizing a Waveguide-Based Sandwich Immunoassay for Tumor Biomarkers: Evaluating Fluorescent Labels and Functional Surfaces SO BIOCONJUGATE CHEMISTRY LA English DT Article ID QUANTUM DOTS; BREAST-CANCER; PROBES; NANOCRYSTALS; DYES AB The sensor team at the Los Alamos National Laboratory has developed a waveguide-based optical biosensor for the detection of biomarkers associated with disease. We have previously demonstrated the application of this technology to the sensitive detection of carcinoembryonic antigen in serum and nipple aspirate fluid from breast cancer patients. In this publication, we report improvements to this technology that will facilitate transition to a point-of-care diagnostic system and/or robust research tool. The first improvement involved replacing phospholipid bilayers used for waveguide functionalization with self-assembled monolayers. These thin films are stable, specific, and robust silane-based surfaces that reduce nonspecific binding and enhance the signal to background ratio. Second, we have explored four different fluorescent labeling paradigms to determine the optimal procedure for use in the assay. Labeling the detector antibody with an organic dye (AlexaFluor 647) in the hinge region allows for unusual signal enhancement with repeat excitation (at 635 nm) in our assay format, thereby facilitating a better signal resolution at lower concentrations of the antigen. We have also labeled the detector antibody with photostable quantum dots through either the amine groups of lysine (Fc, NH) or using a histidine tag in the hinge region of the antibody (Hinge, H). Both labeling strategies allow for acceptable signal resolution, but quantum dots show much greater resistance to photobleaching than organic dyes.

A novel and potentially counteracting metabolic process, anaerobic, nitrate-dependent U(IV) oxidation, has recently been described in two bacterial species (Geobacter metallireducens and Thiobacillus denitrificans), but the underlying biochemistry and genetics are completely unknown. We report here that two diheme, c-type cytochromes (putatively c (4) and c (5) cytochromes) play a major role in nitrate-dependent U(IV) oxidation by T. denitrificans. Insertion mutations in each of the two genes encoding these cytochromes resulted in a greater than 50% decrease in U(IV) oxidation activity, and complementation in trans restored activity to wild-type levels. Sucrose-density-gradient ultracentrifugation confirmed that both cytochromes are membrane-associated. Insertion mutations in genes encoding other membrane-associated, c-type cytochromes did not diminish U(IV) oxidation. This is the first report of proteins involved in anaerobic U(IV) oxidation.

C-13 CP/MAS NMR studies reveal the presence of three distinct molecular conformations that can be interpreted as a mixture of two different crystal forms, one equivalent to cellulose IIIII and another with two independent glucosyl conformations in the asymmetric unit. Both X-ray crystallographic and C-13 NMR spectroscopic results are consistent with an aggregated microdomain structure for cellulose IIIII. This structure can be generated from a new crystal form (space group P2(1); a = 4.45 angstrom, b = 14.64 angstrom, c = 10.36 angstrom, alpha = beta = 90 degrees, gamma = 90.05 degrees; two crystallographically independent and antiparallel chains; gt hydroxymethyl groups) by multiple dislocation defects. These defects produce microdomains of the new crystal form and cellulose IIIt that scanning microprobe diffraction studies show are distributed consistently through the cellulose IIIII fiber.

TI Fuel use and design analysis of improved woodburning cookstoves in the Guatemalan Highlands SO BIOMASS & BIOENERGY LA English DT Article DE RESPIRE study; Woodfuel; Fuel efficiency; Kitchen performance test; Participant observation; Human factors; Contextual design ID DEVELOPING-COUNTRIES AB This study examined the fuel use and design of an improved woodburning cookstove (plancha), in comparison to traditional cooking over an open woodfire. These cookstoves had been randomly introduced into population households in the Guatemalan Highlands that had previously used open woodfires. This research consisted of: (1) a 12-household Kitchen Performance Test (KPT) over a 4-day period and (2) single-day participant observation in five households. The KPT monitored fuel consumption and the number, age, and gender of people who were cooked for, while the participant observation was used to form a complete understanding of fuel use patterns and to examine the influence of stove condition and cooking behavior. In spite of fairly low variability in the fuel use data (coefficients of variation of about 0.34) the KPT did not show statistically significant differences in fuel use between the two cooking methods. It is possible that increased study power through a larger sample size may have resulted in a statistically significant difference in favor of the plancha, but it is doubtful that the size of the effect would be of any practical significance. Thus, although other studies have shown that the plancha is extremely effective in reducing indoor air pollution in the study area, the KPT did not indicate that it offered any benefits with respect to fuel use. Practical and experimental recommendations for future cookstove efficiency studies are presented, with directions for continued work in this area. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A thick TiO(2) layer generated on the wire surface during processing is often considered as a reliable barrier against Ni release. The present study of Nitinol wires with surface oxides resulting from production was conducted to identify the sources of Ni release and its distribution in the surface sublayers. The chemistry and topography of the surfaces of Nitinol wires drawn using different techniques were studied with XPS and SEM. The distribution of Ni into surface depth and the surface oxide thickness were evaluated using Auger spectroscopy, TEM with FIB and ELNES. Ni release was estimated using either ICPA or AAS. Potentiodynamic potential polarization of selected wires was performed in as-received state with no strain and in treated strained samples. Wire samples in the as-received state showed low breakdown potentials (200 mV): the improved Corrosion resistance of these wires after treatment was not affected by strain. It is shown how processing techniques affect surface topography, chemistry and also Ni release. Nitinol wires with the thickest surface oxide TiO(2) (LIP to 720 nM) showed the highest Ni release, attributed to the presence of particles of essentially pure Ni whose number and size increased while approaching the interface between the surface and the bulk. The biological implications of high and lasting Ni release are also discussed. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The adsorption behavior of amelogenin onto substrates is of great interest because protein-surface interactions are critical to its function. We report studies of the adsorption of amelogenin onto self-assembled monolayers containing COOH end group functionality as well as single crystal fluoroapatite, a biologically relevant surface. We found that although our solutions contained only nanospheres of narrow size distribution, smaller structures such as dimers or trimers were observed oil the hydrophilic surfaces. This suggests that amelogenin can adsorb onto surfaces as small structures that "shed" or disassemble from the nanospheres that are present in solution. (c) 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Individual unfixed, paraformaldehyde-fixed, and methanol-fixed normal and transformed lymphocytes from three different cell lines were analyzed with LTRS. When compared to the spectra of unfixed cells, the fixed cell spectra show clear, reproducible changes in the intensity of specific Raman markers commonly assigned to DNA, RNA, protein, and lipid vibrations (e.g. 785, 1230, 1305, 1660 cm(-1)) in mammalian cells, many of which are important markets that have been used to discriminate between normal and cancer lymphocytes. Statistical analyses of the Raman data and classification using principal component analysis and linear discriminant analysis indicate that methanol fixation induces a greater change in the Raman spectra than paraformaldehyde. In addition, we demonstrate that the spectral changes as a result of the fixation process have an adverse effect on the accurate Raman discrimination of the normal and cancer cells. The spectral artifacts created by the use of fixatives indicate that the method of cell preparation is an important parameter to consider when applying Raman spectroscopy to characterize, image, or differentiate between different fixed cell samples to avoid potential misinterpretation of the data.

TI THE EARTH SYSTEM GRID Enabling Access to Multimodel Climate Simulation Data SO BULLETIN OF THE AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article AB By leveraging current technologies to manage distributed climate data in a unified virtual environment, the Earth System Grid (ESG) project is promoting data sharing between international research centers and diverse users. In transforming these data into a collaborative community resource, ESG is changing the way global climate research is conducted. Since ESG's production beginnings in 2004, its most notable accomplishment was to efficiently store and distribute climate simulation data of some 20 global coupled ocean-atmosphere models to the scores of scientific contributors to the Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC); the IPCC collective scientific achievement was recognized by the award of a 2007 Nobel Peace Prize. Other international climate stakeholders such as the North American Regional Climate Change Assessment Program (NARCCAP) and the developers of the Community Climate System Model (CCSM) and of the Climate Science Computational End Station (CCES) also have endorsed ESG technologies for disseminating data to their respective user communities. In coming years, the recently created Earth System Grid Center for Enabling Technology (ESG-CET) will extend these methods to assist the international climate community in its efforts to better understand the global climate C1 [Williams, D.

TI Characteristics of Chemical Explosive Sources from Time-Dependent Moment Tensors SO BULLETIN OF THE SEISMOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA LA English DT Article ID SURFACE-WAVES; INVERSION; NUCLEAR; SPALL; MESA; SEISMOGRAMS; RANGE AB Using a frequency-domain linear inversion technique and near-source broadband data, we inverted for the time-dependent source moment tensors of eight chemical explosions detonated in an open-pit coal mine during the Source Phenomenology Experiments (SPE) conducted by a consortium of U. S. research institutions to investigate a suite of explosive-source related problems. The moment tensors of the explosions from the inversion are dominated by their isotropic components regardless of variations between explosions in source size, confinement condition, and whether the explosion was on a bench and collapsed the vertical face of the bench. The percentage of isotropic moment-tensor component ranges from 96% to 98% for largest part of the source-time histories. Source-configuration variations result in differences that are most apparent in long-period moment-tensor spectra reflecting possible secondary source effects such as cylindrical source shape, spall, and compensated linear vector dipole (CLVD). Unconfined explosions show more oscillatory diagonal moment-tensor component time histories than confined and partially confined explosions possibly due to stronger free-surface effects such as material cast. Compared with pit explosions, deviatoric components of moment tensors of the two bench explosions are of higher amplitudes. There is a discernible long-period (<5 Hz) signal on one of the off-diagonal components, which could be related to the presence of the bench face in the source region and the horizontal material cast by the explosions. Although off-diagonal moment-tensor components comprise a small portion of the moment tensor, they are capable of generating a disproportionally large amount of shear waves.

We apply the attenuation tomography method of Pei et al. (2006) using M(L) amplitude data to estimate attenuation within the upper crust in Japan. More than 60,000 Sg-wave maximum amplitude readings from 5559 events, recorded by 971 stations, were selected from the dense High-Sensitivity Seismography Network (Hi-net) under the condition that epicentral distance is less than 2 degrees and event depth is less than 10 km. The lateral S-wave Q variations of the upper crust at 1 Hz in Japan were obtained. The results indicate that low Q-values exist in the central Japanese islands, with almost the same distribution as volcanoes, while high Q-values exist mainly between the front of volcanoes and the Japanese east coast. In addition, a low Q was found between the eastern coast and the subducted trench. Most large crustal earthquakes occur in or around zones of low Q or the boundaries between areas of low and high Q, which will be very helpful in estimating the risk of large earthquakes.

TI Lg-Coda Methods Applied to Nevada Test Site Events: Spectral Peaking and Yield Estimation SO BULLETIN OF THE SEISMOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA LA English DT Article ID WESTERN UNITED-STATES; EXPLOSIONS; WAVES; EARTHQUAKES; MOMENT; SPALL AB We have applied the regional S-wave coda calibration technique of Mayeda et al. (2003) to earthquake data in and around the Nevada Test Site (NTS) using four regional broadband stations from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) seismic network. We applied the same path and site corrections to tamped nuclear explosion data and averaged the source spectra over the four stations. Narrowband coda amplitudes from the spectra were then regressed against inferred yield based on the regional m(b)(Pn) magnitude of Denny et al. (1987), along with the yield formulation of Vergino and Mensing (1990). We find the following: (1) the coda-derived spectra show a peak that is dependent upon emplacement depth, not event size; (2) source size estimates are stable for the coda and show a dependence upon the near-source strength and gas porosity; (3) for explosions with the same m(b)(Pn) or inferred yield, those in weaker material have lower coda amplitudes at 1-3 Hz.

Whitaker, Rod Katz, Charles Hayward, Chris TI The F-Detector Revisited: An Improved Strategy for Signal Detection at Seismic and Infrasound Arrays SO BULLETIN OF THE SEISMOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA LA English DT Article AB This short article explores and extends the adaptive detection algorithm recently developed by Arrowsmith, Whitaker, et al. (2008). In particular, this article highlights its application for seismic data, compares results for colocated seismic and infrasonic data, and assesses detector performance through comparison with analyst picks. We assess the adaptive detector by generating receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves, illustrating the trade-off between detection probability and false-alarm probability, and comparing the results with the conventional F-detector. The results show that the adaptive detector performs much better than the conventional detector for both seismic and infrasound data by maintaining high detection probabilities while significantly decreasing false-alarm probabilities, illustrating that correlated noise is ubiquitous for both types of data. The effect of the adaptation window is illustrated and shown to be especially important for infrasound data where diurnal variations in ambient noise levels are pronounced. A window choice of 1 hr (i.e., significantly less than 24 hr) is shown to be adequate for representing variations in ambient noise levels.

TI INVESTIGATION OF MECHANISM OF AL(OH)(3) CRYSTAL GROWTH SO CANADIAN JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING LA English DT Article DE crystal growth; caustic soda solution; Al(OH)(3); oxalic acid ID CAUSTIC ALUMINATE SOLUTIONS; ATOMIC-FORCE MICROSCOPY; GIBBSITE CRYSTALS; TRIHYDROXIDE; NUCLEATION; MORPHOLOGY; KINETICS AB Crystallization of Al(OH)(3) that occurs during the decomposition of caustic soda solutions is an important part of Bayer process for alumina production. Several phenomend, which influence the physicochemical characteristics of precipitated Al(OH)(3), occur Simultaneously during this process. They are nucleation, agglomeration, and crystal growth of Al(OH)(3). In this article, we have investigated the mechanism of Al(OH)(3) crystal growth from pure caustic soda solutions and in the presence of oxalic acid. The results have shown that the growth of Al(OH)(3) crystals from caustic soda solutions follow the B+S model (birth and spread). New Al(OH)(3) particles, formed during the decomposition process of pure caustic soda solutions, are characterized by regular hexagonal shape. The nuclei have the same geometry as the contact face. However, microstructural investigations of Al(OH)(3) samples, obtained by crystallization from caustic soda solutions in the presence of oxalic acid, have shown the presence of nuclei of irregular shape in addition to regular ones. So, the presence of oxalic acid in the caustic soda solutions leads to a change in crystal habit. Besides, the results obtained by kinetic investigation confirmed the mentioned mechanism of Al(OH)(3) crystal growth.

These forests have high levels of diversity, ecological importance, land-use changes, and pressures due to invasive herbivorous insects and climate change. Three general circulation models project warming for all months in 2030 and 2080 and complex patterns of precipitation change. Climate changes from 1980 to 2100 were developed from these projections and used in the forest ecosystem model LINKAGES to estimate transient changes in forest biomass and species composition over time. These projections show that climate changes can instigate a decline in forest stand biomass and then recovery as forest species composition shifts. In addition, a landscape model (LSCAP) estimates changes in land-cover types of the Cumberlands based on projected land-use changes and the demise of eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis (L.) Carriere) due to the spread of the hemlock adelgid (Adelges tsugae Annand). LSCAP suggests that land-cover changes can be quite large and can cause a decline not only in the area of forested lands but also in the size and number of large contiguous forest patches that are necessary habitat for many forest species characteristic of the Cumberlands.

TI Identifying efficacious approaches to chemoprevention with chlorophyllin, purified chlorophylls and freeze-dried spinach in a mouse model of transplacental carcinogenesis SO CARCINOGENESIS LA English DT Article ID POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC-HYDROCARBONS; AFLATOXIN B-1; MULTIORGAN CARCINOGENESIS; CHILDHOOD LEUKEMIA; RAINBOW-TROUT; DIETARY CHLOROPHYLLIN; PARTICULATE MATTER; PRENATAL EXPOSURE; CRITICAL WINDOWS; AIR-POLLUTION AB The carcinogenic potential of dibenzo[a,l]pyrene (DBP) has been well characterized in numerous animal models. We have previously documented that a single dose of 15 mg/Kg DBP to pregnant mice late in gestation (GD 17) produces an aggressive T-cell lymphoma as well as lung and liver cancer in offspring. The current study examines the chemopreventative properties of chlorophyllin (CHL) and chlorophyll (Chl) in this transplacental carcinogenesis model. Pregnant B6129SF1 females, bred to 129S1/SvIm males, received purified diets incorporated with either 2000 p.p.m. CHL, 2000 p.p.m. Chl or 10% freeze-dried spinach beginning at gestation day 9. Lymphoma-dependent mortality was not significantly altered by maternal consumption of any of the diet and little effect on lung tumor burden in mice surviving to 10 months of age was observed. However, coadministration of CHL at 380 mg/Kg with DBP by gavage (molar ratio of 10:1, CHL:DBP) provided significant protection against DBP-initiated carcinogenesis. Offspring born to dams receiving CHL co-gavaged with DBP exhibited markedly less lymphoma-dependent mortality (P < 0.001). The degree of protection by CHL, compared with controls dosed with DBP in tricaprylin (TCP) as the vehicle, was less marked, but still significant. Coadministration of CHL (TCP as vehicle) also reduced lung tumor multiplicity in mice by similar to 50% and this was observed throughout the study (P < 0.005). This is the first demonstration that CHL can provide potent chemoprotection in a transplacental carcinogenesis model and support a mechanism involving complex-mediated reduction of carcinogen uptake.

Two type-I (surface binding) CBMs belonging to families 2 and 3a were cloned and expressed with dual histidine tags at the N- and C-termini. Semiconductor (CdSe)ZnS QDs were used to label these CBMs following their binding to Valonia cellulose crystals. Using this approach, we demonstrated that QDs are linearly arrayed on cellulose, which implies that these CBMs specifically bind to a planar face of cellulose. Direct imaging has further shown that different sizes (colors) of QDs can be used to label CBMs bound to cellulose. Furthermore, the binding density of QDs arrayed on cellulose was modified predictably by selecting from various combinations of CBMs and QDs of known dimensions. This approach should be useful for labeling and imaging cellulose-containing materials precisely at the molecular scale, thereby supporting studies of the molecular mechanisms of lignocellulose conversion for biofuels production.

However, dopamine and PFC activity can be directly measured with positron emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), respectively. In this study, we examined WM capacity, dopamine, and PFC function in healthy older participants in order to test the hypothesis that there is a relationship between these 3 factors. We used the PET tracer 6-[F-18]fluoro-L-m-tyrosine to measure dopamine synthesis capacity in the striatum (caudate, putamen), and event-related fMRI to measure brain activation during different epochs (cue, delay, probe) of a WM task. Caudate (but not putamen) dopamine correlated positively with WM capacity, whereas putamen (but not caudate) dopamine correlated positively with motor speed. In addition, delay-related fMRI activation in a left inferior prefrontal region was related to both caudate dopamine and task accuracy, suggesting that this may be a critical site for the integration of WM maintenance processes. These results provide new evidence that striatal dopaminergic function is related to PFC-dependent functions, particularly brain activation and behavioral performance during WM tasks.

By appropriately masking the perimeter during anodization and etching, the AAO can be formed at the center of an aluminum disc. The remaining aluminum ring connects seamlessly to the AAO and provides mechanical support for convenient handling. The supported AAO can be sealed in a standard fitting so that the nanopores in the structure function as an array of tubular reactors, i.e. a nanolith. Coating the walls with catalytically active materials turns the nanolith into a novel catalytic system. For the oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of cyclohexane, the nanolith catalytic system is superior to a conventional powdered catalyst in terms of both efficiency and in reducing over oxidation. A simple analysis of the flow through the nanolith combined with experimental data indicates that mass transfer through the nanopores follows a mixed flow model. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.

The wakefield is excited by an electron beam travelling through a dielectric loaded rectangular waveguide, and the generated rf power is then subsequently extracted with a properly designed rf coupler. In the experiment, 30 MW of output power is excited by a 66 nC single electron bunch, and wakefield superposition by a train consisting of four bunches is also demonstrated. Both the results agree well with theoretical predictions.

To further improve their effectiveness, we recently developed a new adaptive Fourier-spectral semi-implicit method (AFSIM) for solving the phase field equation by combining an adaptive moving mesh method and the semi-implicit Fourier spectral algorithm. In this paper, we present the application of AFSIM to the Cahn-Hilliard equation with inhomogeneous, anisotropic elasticity Numerical implementations and test examples in both two and three dimensions are considered with a particular illustration using the well-studied example of mis-fitting particles in a solid as they approach to their equilibrium shapes. It is shown that significant savings in memory and computational time is achieved while accurate solutions are preserved. C1 [Feng, W. M.; Liu, Z. K.; Du, Q.; Chen, L.

While sixth-order or higher-order shock-capturing methods are appropriate for unsteady turbulence with shocklets, third-order or lower shock-capturing methods are more effective for strong steady or nearly steady shocks in terms of convergence. In order to minimize the short comings of low order and high order shock-capturing schemes for the subject flows, a multiblock overlapping grid with different types of spatial schemes and orders of accuracy on different blocks is proposed. The recently developed single block high order filter scheme in generalized geometries for Navier Stokes and magnetohydrodynamics systems is extended to multiblock overlapping grid geometries. The first stage in validating the high order overlapping approach with several test cases is included. C1 [Sjogreen, Bjorn] Lawrence Livermore Natl Lab, Ctr Appl Sci Comp, Livermore, CA 94551 USA.

It implements improved calculations of the Higgs-boson pole masses, notably a full treatment of the 4 x 4 neutral Higgs propagator matrix including the Goldstone boson and a more complete treatment of threshold effects in self-energies and Yukawa couplings, improved treatments of two-body Higgs decays, some important three-body decays, and two-loop Higgs-mediated contributions to electric dipole moments. CPsuperH2.0 also implements an integrated treatment of several B-meson observables, including the branching ratios of B-s -> mu(+)mu(-), B-d -> tau(+)tau(-), B-u -> tau(v), B -> X-s gamma and the latter's CP-violating asymmetry Acp. and the supersymmetric contributions to the B-s.d(0) - (B) over bar (0)(s.d) mass differences.

The growth of spherulites requires diffusion and uptake of crystal forming components from the host rhyolite melt or glass, and rejection of non-crystal forming components from the crystallizing region. Water concentration profiles measured by synchrotron-source Fourier transform spectroscopy reveal that water is expelled into the surrounding matrix during spherulite growth, and that it diffuses outward ahead of the advancing crystalline front. We compare these profiles to models of water diffusion in rhyolite to estimate timescales for spherulite growth. Using a diffusion-controlled growth law, we find that spherulites can grow on the order of days to months at temperatures above the glass transition. The diffusion-controlled growth law also accounts for spherulite size distribution, spherulite growth below the glass transition, and why spherulitic glasses are not completely devitrified.

TI Comparison of Aqueous and Non-aqueous Soft-Chemical Syntheses of Lithium Niobate and Lithium Tantalate Powders SO CRYSTAL GROWTH & DESIGN LA English DT Article ID HYDROTHERMAL SYNTHESIS; LINDQVIST ION; X-RAY; CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE; LOW-TEMPERATURE; SOLID-STATE; WAVE-GUIDES; LINBO3; ROUTE; LITAO3 AB Lithium niobates and tantalates have a number of characteristics exploitable for optical and electrical devices that include ion conductivity, self-activating or dopant luminescence, piezoelectricity, pyroelectricity and ferroelectricity. To form these materials as nanometric powders or thin-film coatings, soft-chemical processing is required, and a limited number of procedures have been reported. We have explored two soft-chemical routes to lithium niobate and lithium tantalate materials: a non-aqueous procedure and an aqueous procedure. The non-aqueous procedure, which utilizes 1,4-butanediol and simple chemical precursors produces pure phase rhombohedral LiTaO(3) and LiNbO(3). For aqueous synthesis, we utilize the single-source polyoxoniobate salt: Li(8)[M(6)O(19)]center dot xH(2)O (M = Nb, Ta) in a hydrothermal reaction. If LiOH is added, the product is rock-salt type Li(3)MO(4)- Without LiOH, other phases are observed. The products are characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, compositional analysis, and thermogravimetry, and the two soft-chemical processes are compared.

Magnetization measurements were conducted along the ab plane of the samples. The strength of pinning sites was investigated by measuring magnetization hysterisis and the saturation remanent magnetization M-R at several temperatures. We have found that the pinning strength was considerably enhanced after irradiation at both doses. Interestingly, the pinning strength at a Pb-ion irradiation which corresponds to the dose matching field B-Phi = 0.5 T, was found to be significantly larger than that at the dose matching field B-Phi = 2.0 T at all temperatures.

However, one very important property required for biomaterials i.e., biocompatibility has not been studied for UNCD. In this research, biocompatible UNCD films were synthesized. It was found that UNCD film coated substrates can dramatically promote the growth of mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs), while the uncoated substrates inhabit cell attachment. Through analyzing the microstructure and the surface chemistry of UNCD, the mechanisms of cell growth on UNCD were investigated. Given the unique properties of UNCD on inertness and toughness, the results consolidate UNCD film as the leading coating candidate for the next generation of medical implanted devices.

The multivariate analysis of the square-wave voltammetric data of trinitrotoluene, 2,6-dinitrotoluene, 2,4-dinitrotoluene, and 2-nitrotoluene reduction was employed to extract subtle differences in the electrochemical response across multiple potentials on a bare glassy carbon, aminophenyl-modified glassy carbon, and carboxylphenyl-modified glassy carbon electrode surfaces allowing the electrochemical discrimination of the four different nitroaromatic analytes. A multivariate regression model was developed to differentiate and predict the concentrations of the structural isomers 2,6-dinitrotoluene, and 2,4-dinitrotoluene in mixture solutions.

Utility and third-party-administered energy-efficiency programs proposed by 15 utilities over a 10-year horizon would save almost 19,000 GWh annually, about 5.2% of forecast load. There are clear regional trends in the aggressiveness of proposed energy savings. California's investor-owned utilities (IOUs) had the most aggressive savings targets, followed by IOUs in the Pacific Northwest, and the lowest savings were proposed by utilities in Inland West states and by two public utilities on the West Coast. The adoption of multiple, aggressive policies targeting energy efficiency and climate change appears to produce sizeable energy-efficiency commitments. Certain specific policies, such as mandated energy savings goals for California's IOUs and energy-efficiency provisions in Nevada's Renewable Portfolio Standard, had a direct impact on the level of energy savings included in the resource plans. Other policies, such as revenue decoupling and shareholder incentives and voluntary or legislatively mandated greenhouse gas emission reduction policies, may have also impacted utilities' energy-efficiency commitments, though the effects of these policies are not easily measured. Despite progress among the utilities in our sample, more aggressive energy-efficiency strategies that include high-efficiency standards for additional appliances and equipment, tighter building codes for new construction and renovation, as well as more comprehensive ratepayer-funded energy-efficiency programs are likely to be necessary to achieve a region-wide goal of meeting 20% of electricity demand with efficiency in 2020.

Schumacher, Katja TI Economic comparison of greenhouse gas mitigation options in Germany SO ENERGY EFFICIENCY LA English DT Article DE Greenhouse gas mitigation options; Energy efficiency; Fuel switch; Carbon dioxide capture and storage; Non-CO2 greenhouse gases; General equilibrium modeling; Economic effects; Climate policy AB Our objective is to provide a balanced analysis of greenhouse gas mitigation options, across a variety of climate policy scenarios, for Germany. At least four classes of greenhouse gas mitigation options are available: energy efficiency, fuel switching, CO2 capture and storage (CCS), and reductions in emissions of non-CO2 greenhouse gases. These options vary by cost, timing, and our ability to represent them in an economic analysis. We use the Second Generation Model, an economy-wide computable general equilibrium (CGE) model that embodies greenhouse gas mitigation possibilities from the energy system and CCS. Policy scenarios are represented as a response to varying levels of a price for greenhouse gas emissions, either applied economy-wide or targeted at energy-intensive sectors of the economy according to the EU emissions trading scheme. Energy efficiency options are represented in the standard CGE format where non-energy inputs substitute for energy inputs within economic production functions, or system of consumer demand equations, as the price of energy increases relative to other goods. The electric power sector provides substantial opportunities for fuel switching and the deployment of advanced electricity-generating technologies, with and without CO2 capture and storage. Our methodology relies on engineering descriptions of electricity-generating technologies and how their competitive positions vary with a CO2 price or change in fuel price. Further, we allow for reduction of emissions of non-CO2 gases, which adds a set of mitigation opportunities not usually included in energy-economic modeling efforts. A formal decomposition methodology is used to isolate the contribution of each greenhouse gas mitigation option.

Zweibel, Ken TI The technical, geographical, and economic feasibility for solar energy to supply the energy needs of the US SO ENERGY POLICY LA English DT Article DE Solar; Global climate; Photovoltaics ID ELECTRIC-POWER SYSTEMS; PHOTOVOLTAICS PV; STORAGE; LIMITS AB So far, solar energy has been viewed as only a minor contributor in the energy mixture of the US due to cost and intermittency constraints. However, recent drastic cost reductions in the production of photovoltaics (PV) pave the way for enabling this technology to become cost competitive with fossil fuel energy generation. We show that with the right incentives, cost competitiveness with grid prices in the US (e.g., 6-10 USc/kWh) can be attained by 2020. The intermittency problem is solved by integrating PV with compressed air energy storage (CAES) and by extending the thermal storage capability in concentrated solar power (CSP). We used hourly load data for the entire US and 45-year solar irradiation data from the southwest region of the US, to simulate the CAES storage requirements, under worst weather conditions. Based on expected improvements of established, commercially available PV, CSP, and CAES technologies, we show that solar energy has the technical, geographical, and economic potential to supply 69% of the total electricity needs and 35% of the total (electricity and fuel) energy needs of the US by 2050. When we extend our scenario to 2100, solar energy supplies over 90%, and together with other renewables, 100% of the total US energy demand with a corresponding 92% reduction in energy-related carbon dioxide emissions compared to the 2005 levels.

Fujita, K. Sydny TI Retrospective evaluation of appliance price trends SO ENERGY POLICY LA English DT Article DE Appliance efficiency standards; Price forecasts AB Real prices of major appliances (refrigerators, dishwashers, heating and cooling equipment) have been falling since the late 1970s despite increases in appliance efficiency and other quality variables. This paper demonstrates that historic increases in efficiency over time, including those resulting from minimum efficiency standards, incur smaller price increases than were expected by the Department of Energy (DOE) forecasts made in conjunction with standards. This effect can be explained by technological innovation, which lowers the cost of efficiency, and by market changes contributing to lower markups and economics of scale in production of higher efficiency units. We reach four principal conclusions about appliance trends and retail price setting: 1. For the past several decades, the retail price of appliances has been steadily falling while efficiency has been increasing. 2. Past retail price predictions made by the DOE analyses of efficiency standards, assuming constant prices over time, have tended to overestimate retail prices. 3. The average incremental price to increase appliance efficiency has declined over time. DOE technical support documents have typically overestimated this incremental price and retail prices. 4. Changes in retail markups and economics of scale in production of more efficient appliances may have contributed to declines in prices of efficient appliances. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Although biologists have been fascinated with fungus-growing ants since the resurgence of natural history in the modern era, the early stages of research focused mainly on the foraging behavior of the leaf-cutters (the most derived attine lineage). indeed, the discovery that the ants actually use leaf fragments to manure a fungus did not come until the 1800s. More recently, three additional microbial symbionts have been described, including specialized microfungal parasites of the ant's fungus garden, antibiotic-producing actinobacteria that help protect the fungus garden from the parasite, and a black yeast that parasitizes the ant-actinobacteria mutualism. The fungus-growing ant symbiosis serves as a particularly useful model system for studying insect-microbe symbioses, because, to date, it contains four well-characterized microbial symbionts, including mutualists and parasites that encompass micro-fungi, macro-fungi, yeasts, and bacteria. Here, we discuss approaches for studying insect-microbe symbioses, using the attine ant-microbial symbiosis as our framework. We draw attention to particular challenges in the field of symbiosis, including the establishment of symbiotic associations and symbiont function. Finally, we discuss future directions in insect-microbe research, with particular focus on applying recent advances in DNA sequencing technologies.

As-resistant bacteria were isolated from the soils of two abandoned mines in the Republic of Korea. The isolated bacteria showed relatively high resistances to As(III) up to 26 mM. The PCR-based 16S rRNA analysis revealed that the isolated As-resistant bacteria were close relatives to Serratia marcescensa, Pseudomonas putida, Pantoea agglomerans, and Alcaligenes sp. Among the five As-resistant bacterial isolates, Alcaligenes sp. strain RS-19 showed the highest As(III)-oxidizing activity in batch tests, completely oxidizing 1 mM of As(III) to As(V) within 40 h during heterotrophic growth. This study suggests that the indigenous bacteria have evolved to retain the ability to resist toxic As in the As-contaminated environments and moreover to convert the species to a less toxic form [e.g., from As(III) to As(V)] and also contribute the biogeochemical cycling of As by being involved in speciation of As.

TI Cost/Benefit Considerations for Recent Saltcedar Control, Middle Pecos River, New Mexico SO ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT LA English DT Article DE Tamarix; Saltcedar; Tamarisk control; Cost/benefit; Erosion; Sedimentation; Revegetation; Landsat; Evapotranspiration estimation ID TAMARIX SPP.; WATER AB Major benefits were weighed against major costs associated with recent saltcedar control efforts along the Middle Pecos River, New Mexico. The area of study was restricted to both sides of the channel and excluded tributaries along the 370 km between Sumner and Brantley dams. Direct costs (helicopter spraying, dead tree removal, and revegetation) within the study area were estimated to be $2.2 million but possibly rising to $6.4 million with the adoption of an aggressive revegetation program. Indirect costs associated with increased potential for erosion and reservoir sedimentation would raise the costs due to increased evaporation from more extensive shallows in the Pecos River as it enters Brantley Reservoir. Actions such as dredging are unlikely given the conservative amount of sediment calculated (about 1% of the reservoir pool). The potential for water salvage was identified as the only tangible benefit likely to be realized under the current control strategy. Estimates of evapotranspiration (ET) using Landsat TM data allowed estimation of potential water salvage as the difference in ET before and after treatment, an amount totaling 7.41 million m(3) (6010 acre-ft) per year. Previous saltcedar control efforts of roughly the same magnitude found that salvaged ET recharged groundwater and no additional flows were realized within the river. Thus, the value of this recharge is probably less than the lowest value quoted for actual in-channel flow, and estimated to be < $63,000 per year. Though couched in terms of costs and benefits, this paper is focused on what can be considered the key trade-off under a complete eradication strategy: water salvage vs. erosion and sedimentation. It differs from previous efforts by focusing on evaluating the impacts of actual control efforts within a specific system. Total costs (direct plus potential indirect) far outweighed benefits in this simple comparison and are expected to be ongoing. Problems induced by saltcedar control may permanently reduce reservoir capacity and increase reservoir evaporation rates, which could further deplete supplies on this water short system. These potential negative consequences highlight that such costs and benefits need to be considered before initiating extensive saltcedar control programs on river systems of the western United States.

TI Proteomics-inferred genome typing (PIGT) demonstrates inter-population recombination as a strategy for environmental adaptation SO ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY LA English DT Article ID ESCHERICHIA-COLI; COMMUNITY PROTEOMICS; BACTERIA; GENE; MICROORGANISMS; DNA; BACTERIOPLANKTON; SPECIATION; BACILLUS; DATABASE AB Analyses of ecological and evolutionary processes that shape microbial consortia are facilitated by comprehensive studies of ecosystems with low species richness. In the current study we evaluated the role of recombination in altering the fitness of chemoautotrophic bacteria in their natural environment. Proteomics-inferred genome typing (PIGT) was used to genotype the dominant Leptospirillum group II populations in 27 biofilms sampled from six locations in the Richmond Mine acid mine drainage system (Iron Mountain, CA) over a 4-year period. We observed six distinct genotypes that are recombinants comprised of segments from two 'parental' genotypes. Community genomic analyses revealed additional low abundance recombinant variants. The dominance of some genotypes despite a larger available genome pool, and patterns of spatiotemporal distribution within the ecosystem, indicate selection for distinct recombinants. Genes involved in motility, signal transduction and transport were over-represented in the tens to hundreds of kilobase recombinant blocks, whereas core metabolic functions were significantly under-represented. Our findings demonstrate the power of PIGT and reveal that recombination is a mechanism for fine-scale adaptation in this system.

Kinetic studies with resting cells revealed that U(VI) or Tc(VII) reduction rates using H(2) as electron donor exceeded those observed in acetate-amended incubations. The reduction of U(VI) by A. dehalogenans 2CP-C resulted in extracellular accumulation of similar to 5 nm uraninite nanoparticles in association with a lectin-binding extracellular polymeric substance (EPS). The electron donor did not affect UO(2(S)) nanoparticle size or association with EPS, but the utilization of acetate as the source of reducing equivalents resulted in distinct UO(2(S)) nanoparticle aggregates that were similar to 50 nm in diameter. In contrast, reduction of Tc(VII) by A. dehalogenans 2CP-C cell suspensions produced dense clusters of TcO(2) particles, which were localized within the cell periplasm and on the outside of the outer membrane. In addition to direct reduction, A. dehalogenans 2CP-C cell suspensions reduced Tc(VII) indirectly via an Fe(II)-mediated mechanism. Fe(II) produced by strain 2CP-C from either ferrihydrite or Hanford Site sediment rapidly removed (99)Tc(VII)O(4)(-) from solution. These findings expand our knowledge of the radionuclide reduction processes catalysed by Anaeromyxobacter spp. that may influence the fate and transport of radionuclide contaminants in the subsurface.

TI A System Model for Geologic Sequestration of Carbon Dioxide SO ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article ID CO2; INJECTION; STORAGE; SITE AB In this paper we describe CO(2)-PENS, a comprehensive system-level computational model for performance assessment of geologic sequestration of CO(2)-CO(2)-PENS is designed to perform probabilistic simulations of CO(2) capture, transport, and injection in different geologic reservoirs. Additionally, the long-term fate of CO(2) injected in geologic formations, including possible migration out of the target reservoir, is simulated. The simulations sample from probability distributions for each uncertain parameter, leading to estimates of global uncertainty that accumulate through coupling of processes as the simulation time advances. Each underlying process in the system-level model is built as a module that can be modified as the simulation tool evolves toward more complex problems. This approach is essential in coupling processes that are governed by different sets of equations operating at different time-scales. We first explain the basic formulation of the system level model, briefly discuss the suite of process-level modules that are linked to the system level, and finally give an indepth example that describes the system level coupling between an injection module and an economic module. The example shows how physics-based calculations of the number of wells required to inject a given amount of CO(2) and estimates of plume size can impact long-term sequestration costs.

Samples were collected from within the inactive North Process Pond (NPP2) at 8 ft (2.4 m, NPP2-8) depth and 12 ft (3.7 m, NPP2-12) depth in the vadose zone, and fines were isolated from turbid groundwater just below the water Table (12-14 ft, similar to 4 m, NPP2-GW). mu XRF imaging, mu XRD, and mu XANES spectroscopy revealed two major U occurrences within the vadose and groundwater zones: (1) low to moderate concentrations of U(VI) associated with fine-textured grain coatings that were consistently found to contain clinochlore (referred to here as chlorite) observed in all three samples, and (2) U(VI)-Cu(II) hotspots consisting of micrometer-sized particles associated with surface coatings on grains of muscovite and chlorite observed in samples NPP2-8' and NPP2-GW. In the aquifer fines (NPP2-GW),these particles were identified as cuprosklodowskite (cps: Cu[(UO(2))(SiO(2)OH)](2)center dot 6H(2)O) and metatorbernite (mtb: CU(UO(2))(2)(PO(4))(2)center dot 8H(2)O). In contrast, the U-Cu-containing particles in the vadose zone were X-ray amorphous. Analyses of U L(III)-edge XAFS spectra by linear-combination fitting indicated that U speciation consisted of (1) similar to 75% uranyl sorbed to chlorite and similar to 25% mtb-like X-ray amorphous U-Cu-phosphates (8 ft depth), (2) nearly 100% sorbed uranyl (12 ft depth), and (3) similar to 70% uranyl sorbed to chlorite and similar to 30% cps/mtb (groundwater zone). These findings suggest that dissolution of U(VI)-Cu(II)-bearing solids as well as desorption of U(VI), mainly from phyllosilicates, are important persistent sources of U(VI) to the associated uranium groundwater plume in Hanford Area 300.

Five approaches were employed to allocate the coproducts: a displacement approach; two allocation approaches, one based on the energy value and the other based on the market value; and two hybrid approaches that integrated the displacement and allocation methods. The relative rankings of soybean-based fuels in terms of energy and environmental impacts were different under the different approaches, and the reasons were analyzed. Results from the five allocation approaches showed that although the production and combustion of soybean-based fuels might increase total energy use, they could have significant benefits in reducing fossil energy use (>52%), petroleum use (>88%), and GHG emissions (>57%) relative to petroleum fuels. This study emphasized the importance of the methods used to deal with coproduct issues and provided a comprehensive solution for conducting a life-cycle assessment of fuel pathways with multiple coproducts.

Feldspar was used as a representative mineral because recent studies found that it is an important mineral that hosts contaminants within its intragrain fractures at the U.S. Department of Energy Hanford site. Several properties of the mineral-water interface were varied, such as the fracture width, the ionic strength of the contacting solution, and the surface charge,to provide atomic-level insights into the diffusion of ions and contaminants within intragrain regions. In each case, the self-diffusion coefficient of water and that of the electrolyte ions were computed as a function of distance from the mineral surface. Our calculations reveal a 2.0-2.5 nm interfacial region within which the self-diffusion coefficient of water and that of the electrolyte ions decrease as the diffusing species approach the surface. As a result of the extent of the interfacial region, water and electrolyte ions are predicted to never reach bulk-like diffusion in fractures narrower than approximately 5 nm. The average diffusion coefficient along the mineral fracture was computed as a function of fracture width and indicated that the surface effects only become negligible for fractures several tens of nanometers wide. The molecular dynamics results improve our conceptual models of ion transport in nanoscale pore regions surrounded by mineral surfaces in porous media.

TI TOXICITY OF SELECT ORGANIC ACIDS TO THE SLIGHTLY THERMOPHILIC ACIDOPHILE ACIDITHIOBACILLUS CALDUS SO ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY AND CHEMISTRY LA English DT Article DE Acidithiobacillus; Chemiosmosis; Biomining ID THIOBACILLUS-CALDUS; FERROOXIDANS; GROWTH; MEMBRANE; MICROORGANISMS; OXIDATION; SULFUR; THIOOXIDANS; PHOSPHATE; MINERALS AB Acidithiobacillus caldus is a thermophilic acidophile found in commercial biomining, acid mine drainage systems, and natural environments. Previous work has characterized A. caldus as a chemolithotrophic autotroph capable of utilizing reduced sulfur compounds under aerobic conditions. Organic acids are especially toxic to chemolithotrophs in low-pH environments, where they diffuse more readily into the cell and deprotonate within the cytoplasm. In the present study, the toxic effects of oxaloacetate, pyruvate, 2-ketoglutarate, acetate, malate, succinate, and fumarate on A. caldus strain BC13 were examined under batch conditions. All tested organic acids exhibited some inhibitory effect. Oxaloacetate was observed to inhibit growth completely at a concentration of 250 mu M, whereas other organic acids were completely inhibitory at concentrations of between 1,000 and 5,000 mu M. In these experiments, the measured concentrations of organic acids decreased with time, indicating uptake or assimilation by the cells. Phospholipid fatty acid analyses indicated an effect of organic acids on the cellular envelope. Notable differences included an increase in cyclic fatty acids in the presence of organic acids, indicating possible instability of the cellular envelope. This was supported by field emission scanning-electron micrographs showing blebbing and sluffing in cells grown in the presence of organic acids.

TI A novel missense RAG-1 mutation results in T-B-NK+ SCID in Athabascan-speaking Dine Indians from the Canadian Northwest Territories SO EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF HUMAN GENETICS LA English DT Article DE RAG; SCID; Athabascan-speaking; Artemis ID SEVERE COMBINED IMMUNODEFICIENCY; V(D)J RECOMBINATION; NATIVE-AMERICANS; ARTEMIS; DEFICIENCY; PROTEIN; MICE AB DNA double-strand repair factors in the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) pathway resolve DNA double-strand breaks introduced by the recombination-activating gene (RAG) proteins during V(D)J recombination of T and B lymphocyte receptor genes. Defective NHEJ and subsequent failure of V(D) J recombination leads to severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID). We originally linked T-B-NK+ SCID in Athabascan-speaking Native Americans in the Southwestern US and Northwest Territories of Canada to chromosome 10. However, despite a common ancestry, the null mutation in the Artemis gene that we found to be causal in the SCID among the Navajo and Apache Indians was not present in the Dine Indians in the Northwest Territories. We now report a novel homozygous missense mutation (R776W) in RAG-1 in three children with T-B-NK+ SCID from two related families of Athabascan-speaking Dine Indians in the Canadian Northwest Territories. As expected, we found no increased sensitivity to ionizing radiation in patient fibroblasts. The impaired activity of this RAG-1 mutant in V(D)J recombination was confirmed by the EGFP-based V(D)J recombination assays. Overexpression of wild type RAG-1 in patient fibroblasts complemented V(D)J recombination, with recovery of both coding and signal joint formation. Our results indicate that the novel R776W missense mutation in RAG-1 is causal in the T-B-NK+ SCID phenotype in Athabascan-speaking Dine Indians from the Canadian Northwest Territories.

The nickel precursor was a concentrated nickel nitrate hexahydrate [Ni(NO3)(2)center dot 6H(2)O] solution in 2-propanol, which was added to the carbon-silica nanocomposite prior to thermal treatment. The samples studied were analyzed by thermogravimetry (TG), nitrogen adsorption at -196 degrees C, powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscopy (STEM), and in situ electron diffraction X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). While TG analysis revealed carbon contents lower than 30 wt.-%, nitrogen adsorption provided information about the homogeneity of the carbon thin film deposited onto the mesopore walls of the ordered silica templates SBA-15. The templates, carbon-silica nanocomposites, and carbon inverse replicas with nickel nanoparticles exhibit uniform pores, high surface areas, and large pore volumes. Partially graphitic carbon was identified by the presence of a characteristic G band in the Raman spectra, whereas the diffraction peak attributed to the stacking of graphene planes was not observed by powder XRD. The presence of ordered domains in the carbon materials studied was confirmed by small angle XRD and STEM imaging. In addition, the STEM images revealed that the nickel nanoparticles are uniform in size, ca. 3 nm, and are homogeneously dispersed on the tubular carbon walls. A few larger clusters of nickel, ca. 60 nm, present on the external surface, were identified by powder XRD as metallic Ni. The in situ EDX revealed that the small nanoparticles are largely composed of Ni with traces of NiO. Similar nanoparticle dispersions have been reported only for Ni-containing multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs), whereas previously reported ordered mesoporous carbon materials, CMK-3, possess larger Ni/NiO nanoparticles.

The molecular structures of these new complexes were fully characterized by (1)H NMR spectroscopy and ESI mass spectrometry, and the crystal structure of 3H center dot PF(6), was determined by X-ray crystallography. Compound 3H center dot PF(6) (C(25)H(24)CIF(6)N(6)PRu) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/n with a = 12.102(2) angstrom, b = 16.826(3) angstrom, c = 13.016)(2) angstrom, beta = 92.606(2)degrees, V = 2647.6(8) angstrom(3), and Z = 4, The crystal structure of 3H reveals the formation of an intramolecular hydrogen bond (2.562 angstrom) between the pyrazole N(2)-H site and the chloride ligand. The redox and electronic absorption properties of 1H, 2H, and 3H, as well as their deprotonated counterparts [L = pyrazolate (1), 4-methylpyrazolate (2), and 3,5-dimethylpyrazolate (3)], were investigated by Cyclic voltammetry and UV/Vis spectroscopy.

From spectrophotometric pH titrations, the basicity associated with the coordinated pyrazole/pyrazolate couple in water was found in all three cases to be. unusually high, partly owing to the N-H center dot center dot center dot Cl hydrogen bond that stabilizes the protonated, azole state.

The capability of the RAPET process to fabricate nanoparticles, nanorods, and nanotubes of different carbides in a single-step reaction is also demonstrated.

TI Transport through quantum dots: a combined DMRG and embedded-cluster approximation study SO EUROPEAN PHYSICAL JOURNAL B LA English DT Article ID DENSITY-MATRIX RENORMALIZATION; MAGNETIC IMPURITY; ANDERSON MODEL; KONDO; SYSTEMS; CONDUCTANCE; RESERVOIRS; FORMULA; LIMIT AB The numerical analysis of strongly interacting nanostructures requires powerful techniques. Recently developed methods, such as the time-dependent density matrix renormalization group (tDMRG) approach or the embedded-cluster approximation (ECA), rely on the numerical solution of clusters of finite size. For the interpretation of numerical results, it is therefore crucial to understand finite-size effects in detail. In this work, we present a careful finite-size analysis for the examples of one quantum dot, as well as three serially connected quantum dots. Depending on "odd-even" effects, physically quite different results may emerge from clusters that do not differ much in their size. We provide a solution to a recent controversy over results obtained with ECA for three quantum dots. In particular, using the optimum clusters discussed in this paper, the parameter range in which ECA can reliably be applied is increased, as we show for the case of three quantum dots. As a practical procedure, we propose that a comparison of results for static quantities against those of quasi-exact methods, such as the ground-state density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) method or exact diagonalization, serves to identify the optimum cluster type. In the examples studied here, we find that to observe signatures of the Kondo effect in finite systems, the best clusters involving dots and leads must have a total z-component of the spin equal to zero.

TI Evidence for the production of thermal muon pairs with masses above 1 GeV/c (2) in 158 A GeV indium-indium collisions SO EUROPEAN PHYSICAL JOURNAL C LA English DT Article ID HEAVY-ION COLLISIONS; DRELL-YAN PRODUCTION; PB-PB INTERACTIONS; DILEPTON RADIATION; J/PSI SUPPRESSION; COLLIDER ENERGIES; CHARM PRODUCTION; CROSS-SECTIONS; FIXED-TARGET; CERN-SPS AB The yield of muon pairs in the invariant mass region 1 < M < 2.5 GeV/c (2) produced in heavy-ion collisions significantly exceeds the sum of the two expected contributions, Drell-Yan dimuons and muon pairs from the decays of D meson pairs. These sources properly account for the dimuons produced in proton-nucleus collisions. In this paper, we show that dimuons are also produced in excess in 158 A GeV In-In collisions. We furthermore observe, by tagging the dimuon vertices, that this excess is not due to enhanced D meson production, but made of prompt muon pairs, as expected from a source of thermal dimuons specific to high-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions. The yield of this excess increases significantly from peripheral to central collisions, both with respect to the Drell-Yan yield and to the number of nucleons participating in the collisions. Furthermore, the transverse mass distributions of the excess dimuons are well described by an exponential function, with inverse slope values around 190 MeV. The values are independent of mass and significantly lower than those found at masses below 1 GeV/c (2), rising there up to 250 MeV due to radial flow. This suggests the emission source of thermal dimuons above 1 GeV/c (2) to be of largely partonic origin, when radial flow has not yet built up.

TI The utility of resonant soft x-ray scattering and reflectivity for the nanoscale characterization of polymers SO EUROPEAN PHYSICAL JOURNAL-SPECIAL TOPICS LA English DT Article ID THIN-FILMS; MICROSCOPY; PERFORMANCE; MORPHOLOGY; CONTRAST; BLENDS AB The utility of resonant soft x-ray scattering (RSoXS) and reflectivity (RSoXR) is extended and exemplified through the characterization of thin films of polymers relevant to organic solar cells and of dilute polymer solutions. RSoXS and RSoXR are methods that utilize anomalous scattering principles at soft x-ray energies. Soft X-rays cover the carbon, nitrogen and oxygen absorption edges, elements very relevant for polymers and colloids. The rapid changes of optical properties near these absorption edges provide selectivity to specific moieties and high contrast. RSoXR is shown to be a powerful tool for the characterization of bilayers of conducting polymers. The RSoXR results point to an interesting strategy that will allow the chemical interdiffusion and physical roughness at a buried polymer/polymer interface to be determined independently. The high scattering cross sections also allows the investigation of thin films of conjugated polymer blends in transmission at thicknesses for which hard X-rays or neutrons would yield relatively little scattering. By scattering at photon energies that provide strong scattering contrast, even very dilute polymeric solutions yield a useable signal.

TI Adsorption at liquid interfaces: A comparison of multiple experimental techniques SO EUROPEAN PHYSICAL JOURNAL-SPECIAL TOPICS LA English DT Article ID PROFILE AB It has proven to be a challenging task to quantitatively resolve the interfacial pro. le at diffuse interfaces, such as, the adsorption pro. le near a bulk binary liquid mixture critical point. In this contribution we examine the advantages and disadvantages of a variety of experimental techniques for studying adsorption, including neutron reflectometry, X-ray reflectometry and ellipsometry. Short length scale interfacial features are best resolved using neutron/X-ray reflectometry, whereas, large length scale interfacial features are best resolved using ellipsometry, or in special circumstances, neutron reflectometry. The use of multiple techniques severely limits the shape of the adsorption pro. le that can describe all experimental data sets. Complex interfaces possessing surface features on many different length scales are therefore best studied using a combination of neutron/X-ray reflectometry and ellipsometry. C1 [Law, B.

There are marked differences in the behaviour of these films, as a function of temperature and coverage, compared to similar measurements on graphite. In particular, it has previously been shown that adsorbed multilayer films on graphite exhibit an interfacial solid monolayer that coexists with bulk-like liquid, well above the bulk melting point. In contrast, these studies show that the alkane films on MgO exhibit no such stabilization of the solid layer closest to the substrate as a function of the film thickness, even though the monolayer crystal structures are remarkably similar.

Reduced activity of the enzyme porphobilinogen deaminase (PBGD), which catalyzes the sequential condensation of 4 molecules of porphobilinogen to yield preuroporphyrinogen, has been linked to the symptoms of AIP. We have determined the 3-dimensional structure of human PBGD at 2.2 angstrom resolution. Analysis of the structure revealed a dipyrromethane cofactor molecule covalently linked to C261, sitting in a positively charged cleft region. In addition to the critical catalytic D99, a number of other residues are seen hydrogen bonded to the cofactor and play a role in catalysis. Sequential entry of 4 pyrrole molecules into the active site is accomplished by movement of the domains around the hinges. H120P mutation resulted in an inactive enzyme, supporting the role of H120 as a hinge residue. Interestingly, some of the mutations of the human PBGD documented in patients suffering from AIP are located far away from the active site. The structure provides insights into the mechanism of action of PBGD at the molecular level and could aid the development of potential drugs for the up-regulation of PBGD activity in AIP. - Song, G., Li, Y., Cheng, C., Zhao, Y., Gao, A., Zhang, R., Joachimiak, A., Shaw, N., Liu, Z.-J.

Tracy TI ADPase activity of recombinantly expressed thermotolerant ATPases may be caused by copurification of adenylate kinase of Escherichia coli SO FEBS JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE AAA plus ATPase; adenylate kinase; ADPase; sigma 54; thermophilic proteins ID ARCHAEON PYROCOCCUS-FURIOSUS; ENHANCER-BINDING PROTEINS; TRANSCRIPTIONAL ACTIVATOR; MELILOTI DCTD; ATP; PURIFICATION; HYDROLYSIS; ELECTROPHORESIS; COMMUNICATION; DOMAINS AB Except for apyrases, ATPases generally target only the gamma-phosphate of a nucleotide. Some non-apyrase ATPases from thermophilic microorganisms are reported to hydrolyze ADP as well as ATP, which has been described as a novel property of the ATPases from extreme thermophiles. Here, we describe an apparent ADP hydrolysis by highly purified preparations of the AAA+ ATPase NtrC1 from an extremely thermophilic bacterium, Aquifex aeolicus. This activity is actually a combination of the activities of the ATPase and contaminating adenylate kinase (AK) from Escherichia coli, which is present at 1/10 000 of the level of the ATPase. AK catalyzes conversion of two molecules of ADP into AMP and ATP, the latter being a substrate for the ATPase. We raise concern that the observed thermotolerance of E. coli AK and its copurification with thermostable proteins by commonly used methods may confound studies of enzymes that specifically catalyze hydrolysis of nucleoside diphosphates or triphosphates. For example, contamination with E. coli AK may be responsible for reported ADPase activities of the ATPase chaperonins from Pyrococcus furiosus, Pyrococcus horikoshii, Methanococcus jannaschii and Thermoplasma acidophilum; the ATP/ADP-dependent DNA ligases from Aeropyrum pernix K1 and Staphylothermus marinus; or the reported ATP-dependent activities of ADP-dependent phosphofructokinase of P. furiosus. Purification methods developed to separate NtrC1 ATPase from AK also revealed two distinct forms of the ATPase. One is tightly bound to ADP or GDP and able to bind to Q but not S ion exchange matrixes. The other is nucleotide-free and binds to both Q and S ion exchange matrixes. C1 [Nixon, B.

In addition, transformation of the separated water from the free state to the bound and/or restricted state was also investigated. Maya asphaltene in toluene with 0.1 M HCl forms emulsion following ultrasonic or high speed mechanical emulsification. Initially, water molecules in the emulsion are largely free water. The emulsion gradually separates into two phases and at the 7th day over 90% of water molecules have situated at the bottom phase. In the mean time water molecules at the free state initially slowly transform into bound state in a much slower pace (over 100 days) than the phase separation kinetics. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.

TI THE DYNAMICS OF THERMAL EXPANSION IN SINGLE CRYSTAL BERYLLIUM FROM NANOSECOND X-RAY IRRADIATION SO FUSION SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article DE preheat; thermal expansion; anisotropic ID TEMPERATURE; DISLOCATIONS; POLYCRYSTALS; BEHAVIOR; SLIP AB Single crystals of beryllium were illuminated with nanosecond X-ray pulses generated from laser irradiated (similar to 1.5 X 10(14) W/cm(2)) gold targets. The characteristic gold M-band centered at 2.5 keV was measured by time-integrated transmission grating spectroscopy and a time-resolved (spectrally integrated) X-ray photodiode through beryllium targets of various thickness. Approximately decaying exponential temperature profiles were predicted to be induced in 100- and 160-mu m-thick single crystal targets producing nearly instant surface motion as measured by free surface velocity interferometry. This temperature profile gave rise to free surface (opposite to drive laser surface) velocity histories in a c-axis single crystal and a (1010) single crystal in which large initial acceleration gave way to lower (ramped) acceleration due to the internal temperature gradient. A smooth rise to the peak velocity was then followed by a sharp release originating from the free surface nearest to the laser drive. Differences between the velocities in each of these regions were found between the two single crystals investigated, which were due to the thermal expansion properties as a function of direction (including plasticity). These results can be used to predict the behavior of pre-heated polycrystalline targets relevant to instability seeding in inertial confinement fusion ablators.

Here, we investigated iron biomineralization by the anaerobic nitrate-dependent iron-oxidizing bacterium Acidovorax sp. strain BoFeNI in the presence of dissolved Fe(II) using electron microscopy and scanning Transmission X-ray Microscopy (STXM). All detected minerals consisted mainly of amorphous iron phosphates, but based on their morphology and localization, three types of precipitates could be discriminated: (1) mineralized filaments at distance from the cells, (2) globules of 100 25 run in diameter, at the cell surface and (3) a 40-nm thick mineralized layer within the periplasm. All of those phases were shown to be intimately associated with organic molecules. Periplasmic encrustation was accompanied by an accumulation of protein moieties. In the same way, exopolysaccharides were associated with the extracellular mineralized filaments. The evolution of cell encrustation was followed by TFM over the time Course of a culture: cell encrustation proceeded progressively, with rapid precipitation in the periplasm (in a few tens of Minutes). followed by the formation of surface-bound globules. Moreover, we frequently observed an asymmetric mineral thickening at the cell poles. In parallel, the evolution of iron oxidation was quantified by STXM: iron both contained in the bacteria and in the extracellular precipitates reached complete oxidation within 6 days. While a progressive oxidation of Fe in the bacteria and in the medium could be observed, spatial redox (oxido-reduction state) heterogeneities were detected at the cell poles and in the extracellular precipitates after I day. All these findings provide new information to further the understanding of molecular processes involved in iron biomineralization by anaerobic iron-oxidizing bacteria and offer potential signatures of those metabolisms that can be looked for in the geological record.

The oxidation states of the metal ions in this glass are determined and correspond to the Al(3+), La(3+), Nd(3+), Gd(3+), Hf(4+), Pu(4+), Si(4+), and Sr(2+) ions. Taking into account the binding energies of the O 1s electrons for the glass sample under investigation, the average lengths of metal-oxygen bonds on the surface of the sample are estimated to be 0.191 and 0.176 nm, which correspond to oxygen binding energies of 531.3 and 532,3 eV, respectively.

Waste loadings between 45 and 65 wt% were achieved. Commercially available alkali borosilicate Frit 320 was used as a glass forming additive. Melting temperature increased from 1200 to 1400 degrees C with increasing waste loading. All the products were composed of a glass matrix and a magnetite/trevorite-type phase with a spinal structure. The degree of crystallinity ranged between 4-6 vol% at 45wt% waste loading and 18-20 vol% at 60% waste loading. The iron group elements (Fe, Cr, Mn, Ni) were concentrated in the spinal phase whereas uranium was only found in the vitreous phase. XAS indicated that up to 80-90% of the total uranium was hexavalent, occurring as distorted uranyl ions. C1 [Stefanovsky, S. V.] Ctr Adv Technol, SIA Radon, Moscow 119121, Russia. [Marra, J.

AB A direct comparison of treatment uniformity and CO2 use of pure and prediluted free-air CO2 enrichment (FACE) systems was conducted in a forest ecosystem. A vertical release pure CO2 fumigation system was superimposed on an existing prediluted CO2 fumigation system and operated on alternate days. The FACE system using prediluted CO2 fumigation technology exhibited less temporal and spatial variability than the pure CO2 fumigation system. The pure CO2 fumigation system tended to over-fumigate the upwind portions of the plot and used 25% more CO2 than the prediluted CO2 fumigation system. The increased CO2 use by the pure CO2 system was exacerbated at low wind speeds. It is not clear if this phenomenon will also be observed in plots with smaller diameters and low-stature vegetation.

Researchers sought to determine whether the location would meet the criteria for uniform air velocity and contaminant concentration as prescribed in the American National Standards Institute standard, Sampling and Monitoring Releases of Airborne Radioactive Substances from the Stacks and Ducts of Nuclear Facilities. This standard requires that the sampling location be well-mixed and stipulates specific tests to verify the extent of mixing. The exhaust system for the Radiochemical Processing Laboratory was modeled with a computational fluid dynamics code to better understand the flow and contaminant mixing and to predict mixing test results. The modeled results were compared to actual measurements made at a scale-model stack and to the limited data set for the full-scale facility stack. Results indicated that the computational fluid dynamics code provides reasonable predictions for velocity, cyclonic flow, gas, and aerosol uniformity, although the code predicts greater improvement in mixing as the injection point is moved farther away from the sampling location than is actually observed by measurements. In expanding from small to full scale, the modeled predictions for full-scale measurements show similar uniformity values as in the scale model. This work indicated that a computational fluid dynamics code can be a cost-effective aid in designing or retrofitting a facility's stack sampling location that will be required to meet standard ANSI/HPS N13.1-1999.

In particular, we are interested whether there exist algorithms which can solve this problem in time polynomial in n and k. We show that if k = inverted right perpendicularn(d)inverted left perpendicular for any fixed real d > 0, then the problem is NP-hard, meaning that no polynomial-time algorithm in n exists provided that P not equal NP, a widely believed conjecture in computer science. On the other hand, when k is a constant independent of n, then it is known that the problem may be solved in polynomial time in n. Using these results and the method of measurable switching rules, we prove our main statement: verifying the absolute asymptotic stability of a continuous-time switched linear system with more than n(d) matrices A(i) is an element of R(nxn) satisfying 0 >= A(i) + A(i)(T) is NP-hard.

We report for the first time selective electrolysis of physiological saline by repetitively pulsed, charge-limited electrolysis for the production of oxygen and suppression of free chlorine. Using 800-mu A amplitude current pulses and <200 mu s pulse duration, we demonstrate prompt oxygen production and delayed chlorine production at the surface of a fused 0.85-mm diameter spherical platinum electrode. The data, interpreted in terms of the ionic structure of the electric double layer, suggest a strategy for in situ production of metabolic oxygen via a new class of "smart" prosthetic implants for ischemic disease such as diabetic retinopathy. We also present data indicating that collateral pH drift, if any, can be held constant using a feed back-controlled three-electrode electrolysis system that chooses an anode and cathode pair based on pH data provided by a local sensor.

Three-dimensional statistical modeling And analysis based on 46 different processing conditions was used to comprehensively study the solution-shearing process control and optimization for fabricating high-performance 4T-TMS SPOFETs. Various effects including solution concentration effect, shearing speed effect, and deposition temperature effect were investigated and discussed. Under optimized processing conditions, well-oriented crystalline 4T-TMS thin films were deposited for the SPOFETs, which showed remarkable effective field-effect mobility up to 0.3 cm(2)/V.

Gaussian fitted uniformity and good air stability of these devices stored and tested under ambient conditions for six months suggest that 4T-TMS SPOFETs based on the optimized solution-shearing process are promising for applications in organic electronic circuits and displays. Importantly, the systematic experiment design and the corresponding statistical modeling/analysis presented here provide a general guideline for process optimization for fabricating high-performance SPOFETs.

Efficient algorithms for minimizing this l(1)-TV functional have only recently begun to be developed, the fastest of which exploit graph representations, and are restricted to the denoising problem. We describe an alternative approach that minimizes a generalized TV functional, including both l(2)-TV and l(1)-TV as special cases, and is capable of solving more general inverse problems than denoising (e.g., deconvolution). This algorithm is competitive with the graph-based methods in the denoising case, and is the fastest algorithm of which we are aware for general inverse problems involving a nontrivial forward linear operator.

GRETINA will be composed of seven detector modules, each with four highly pure germanium crystals. Each crystal has 36 segments and one central contact instrumented by charge sensitive amplifiers. Two custom designed modules, the Digitizer/Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and the Trigger Timing and Control, compose the electronics of this system. The Digitizer/DSP converts the analog information with 14-bit analog to digital converters (operating at 100 MS/s, and digitally processes the data to determine the energy and timing information of the gamma interactions with the crystal. Each Digitizer/DSP is controlled by and sends trigger information to the Trigger Timing & Control system through a bidirectional Gbit link. Presently four different trigger algorithms are planned for the trigger system and can be selected for trigger decision. In this paper the details of the electronics and algorithms of the GRETINA data acquisition and trigger system are presented and the performance is reviewed.

TI Measurements of NaI(Tl) Electron Response: Comparison of Different Samples SO IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON NUCLEAR SCIENCE LA English DT Article DE Nonproportionality; radiation detector; scintillator ID SCINTILLATOR NON-PROPORTIONALITY; LIGHT YIELD NONPROPORTIONALITY; INTRINSIC ENERGY RESOLUTION; FACILITY; DESIGN; DETECTORS; LSO AB This paper measures the sample to sample variation in the light yield proportionality of NaI(TI), and so explores whether this is an invariant characteristic of the material or whether it depends on the chemical and physical properties of the tested samples. We report on the electron response of nine crystals of NaI(TI), differing in shape, volume, age, manufacturer and quality. The proportionality has been measured at the SLYNCI facility in the energy range between 3.5 to 460 keV. We observe that while samples produced by the same manufacturer at approximately the same time have virtually identical electron response curves, there are significant sample to sample variations among crystals produced by different manufacturers or at different times. In an effort to correlate changes in the electron response with details of the scintillation mechanism, we characterized other scintillation properties, including the gamma response and the x-ray excited emission spectra and decay times, for the nine crystals. While sample to sample differences in these crystals were observed, we have been unable to identify the underlying fundamental mechanisms that are responsible for these differences.

These guns have a major advantage in that they have no material cathode, can drive current densities larger than their thermionic counterparts, and can operate reliably at relatively high pressures (for example, fore vacuum gas pressures). This paper presents initial results on the characterization of a plasma cathode electron source driven by a microwave electron cyclotron resonance plasma discharge. A negatively biased plasma chamber is electrically isolated from the downstream system, and electrons from the discharge are extracted through a small aperture. These electrons then interact with background gas in the main chamber. Electron beams of greater than 80 A have been calculated based on measurements in this configuration.

TI Genetic Optimization for Pulsed-Power System Configuration SO IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PLASMA SCIENCE LA English DT Article DE Current adding; current control; equation of state (EOS); genetic algorithms (GAs); identification; isentropic compression; modeling; programmable control; pulsed power AB Pulsed-power systems traditionally have been designed to provide a pulse that is nonprogrammable or requires hardware modifications to adjust the output waveform shape. Advancements in pulsed-power technologies are enabling system designs that allow for greater flexibility such as programmable current shaping. Material science, which uses current pulse shaping to obtain data for the equation of state analysis, is driving much of this work. The programming of pulsed-power systems through the use of simulations and manual curve fitting techniques can work well for systems that only have a few controllable parameters and are generating waveforms with simple spectral content. Complex systems with many controllable parameters become unmanageable for manual trial and error to be effective. This paper discusses the characterization and modeling of a scaled down programmable current adder directed at investigating technical issues that will be encountered in full-scale drivers. A discussion of the procedure used to optimize the adder current output, using genetic algorithms, is presented. The approach to system programmability presented in this paper will allow for a more simplified user interface and system control, as the requirements for flexibility and complexity in future systems increase.

CA WECC Disturbance Monitoring Work TI Use of the WECC WAMS in Wide-Area Probing Tests for Validation of System Performance and Modeling SO IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON POWER SYSTEMS LA English DT Article DE Performance monitoring; phasor measurements; system testing; Wide-Area Measurement System (WAMS) ID ELECTROMECHANICAL MODES; IDENTIFICATION AB During 2005 and 2006, the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) performed three major tests of western system dynamics. These tests used a Wide-Area Measurement System (WAMS) based primarily on phasor measurement units (PMUs) to determine response to events including the insertion of the 1400-MW Chief Joseph braking resistor, probing signals, and ambient events. Test security was reinforced through real-time analysis of wide-area effects, and high-quality data provided dynamic profiles for interarea modes across the entire western interconnection. The tests established that low-level optimized pseudo-random +/- 20-MW probing with the Pacific DC Intertie (PDCI) roughly doubles the apparent noise that is natural to the power system, providing sharp dynamic information with negligible interference to system operations. Such probing is an effective alternative to use of the 1400-MW Chief Joseph dynamic brake, and it is under consideration as a standard means for assessing dynamic security.

Edge detection is often performed by thresholding the spatial information of a top-down image obtained by scanning electron microscopy or other surface characterization techniques. Results are highly dependent on an arbitrary threshold value, which makes it difficult to reveal the nature of the real surface and to compare results among images. In this paper, we present an alternative edge boundary detection technique based on the wavelet framework. Our results indicate that the method facilitates nanoscale edge detection and characterization by providing a systematic threshold determination step.

The separation of time scales allows two simplifications that we exploit: 1) the use of the averaging principle for the dimensional reduction of the dynamics for each particle during the prediction step and 2) the factorization of the transition probability for the Rao-Blackwellization of the update step. The resulting particle filter is faster and has smaller variance than the particle filter based on the original system. The method is tested on a multiscale stochastic differential equation and on a multiscale pure jump diffusion motivated by chemical reactions.

The samples were characterized by SEW/EDS, XRD and ASR. Results indicated that the compositions of the oxide scales in syngas and in air were similar. For Crofer 22, scales formed in both air and coal syngas were composed of (Cr,Fe)(2)O(3), Mn-Cr compounds and Fe(3)O(4). For Haynes 230 the main composition was Cr(2)O(3). However, it was found that the morphologies of the scales formed in coal syngas were different from those formed in air. Besides, the cross section element distributions of oxide scales formed on Crofer 22 were disparate. In addition, the ASR values of the oxide scales formed in coal syngas and in air were similar at 800 degrees C but the activation energies for electronic conduction of the oxide scales formed in coal syngas were higher.

Euans, Greg TI Experimental evaluation of barrier walls for risk reduction of unintended hydrogen releases SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HYDROGEN ENERGY LA English DT Article DE Hydrogen flames; Hydrogen leakage; Unintended releases; Hydrogen hazards AB Hydrogen-jet flames resulting from ignition of unintended releases can be extensive in length and pose hazards associated with radiation and impingement onto objects, combustible materials and people. Depending on the leak diameter and source pressure, the resulting consequence distances can be unacceptably large. One possible mitigation strategy to reduce exposure to jet flames is to incorporate barriers around hydrogen storage and delivery equipment. While reducing the extent of unacceptable consequences, the walls may introduce other hazards if not properly configured. An experimental program has been implemented to better characterize the effectiveness of barrier walls at risk mitigation. This paper describes the experiments and presents results obtained for various barrier configurations. The measurements include flame deflection using standard and infrared video, high-speed movies (500 fps) to study initial flame propagation from the ignition source, overpressure levels due to ignition, wall deflection, radiative heat flux, and gas and wall temperatures. The various barrier designs are evaluated in terms of their mitigation effectiveness for the associated hazards present. The results show that barrier walls are effective at deflecting flames in a desired direction. While barrier walls can result in increased overpressures and radiative heat flux in the vicinity of the wall, they can also attenuate the effects of these hazards in surrounding areas if properly implemented.

TI Modeling, analysis and control system development for the Italian hydrogen house SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HYDROGEN ENERGY LA English DT Article DE PEM fuel cell; Control; Fuzzy logic; IEA; Hydrogen demonstration AB This paper provides an analysis of the "Hydrogen from the Sun" project at the "Ecological House" in northern Italy. The modeling and analysis work is being performed in conjunction with the international Energy Agency Hydrogen implementing Agreement Annex 18: Integrated Systems Evaluation. A customized library of Matlab/Simulink component models is used to simulate the system and evaluate the hydrogen economics and energy production efficiencies. Two control algorithms are developed for the house using a fuzzy logic and an adaptive control strategy. The economic and steady state effects of these two strategies are compared as are the energy sources used to supply the energy demand of the house. The hydrogen production system consists of an electrolyzer, a photo-voltaic collector, and a battery, linked to both a metal hydride and high pressure gas storage system. The hydrogen supplies a fuel cell, which powers a residential estate. The analysis shows the contribution of the different system components to the overall efficiency and cost of hydrogen. However, the control systems presented also have a significant effect on the hydrogen and electricity cost. Reduction of these costs and an increase in system efficiency require optimal use of the hydrogen stored, as well as the optimized distribution of power supply from the generating components. The analysis shows the initial cost of hydrogen to be 9.36 $/kg, with electricity produced at 0.65 $/kWh using a fuzzy logic control system at an electrical efficiency of 50% (of the full hydrogen house system), based on the lower heating value of hydrogen. The result of using an active control strategy is presented. (C) 2008 International Association for Hydrogen Energy. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. C1 [Stewart, E. M.; Lutz, A.

Previous experimental studies on dynamic failure of borosilicate glass have been reported by Nie et al. [Nie X, Chen WW, Sun X, Templeton DW. Dynamic failure of borosilicate glass under compression/shear loading - experiments.] Am Ceram Soc, in press.] using the split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) technique. The damage growth patterns and stress histories have been reported for various glass specimen designs. In this study, we propose to use a continuum damage mechanics (CDM)-based constitutive model to describe the initial failure and subsequent stiffness reduction of glass. Explicit finite element analyses are used to simulate the glass specimen impact event. A maximum shear stress-based damage evolution law is used in describing the glass damage process under combined compression/shear loading. The impact test results are used in quantifying the critical shear stress for the borosilicate glass under examination. It is shown that with only two modeling parameters, reasonably good comparisons between the predicted and the experimentally measured failure maps can be obtained for various glass sample geometries. Comparisons between the predicted stress histories for different sample designs are also used as model validations. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

A newly developed dynamic servohydraulic method was employed to perform tensile tests over this entire range from quasi-static to near split-Hopkinson or Kolsky bar strain-rates. Each of these alloys exhibits only modest strain-rate sensitivity. Specifically, the semi-logarithmic strain-rate sensitivity factor beta Was found to be in the range of 14-20 MPa depending on the alloy. This corresponds to a similar to 10% increase in the yield strength over the 6-orders of magnitude change in strain-rate. Interestingly, while three of the alloys showed a concomitant similar to 3-10% drop in their ductility with increasing strain-rate, the ES-1c alloy actually exhibited a 25% increase in ductility with increasing strain-rate. Fractography suggests the possibility that at higher strain-rates ES-1c evolves towards a more ductile dimple fracture mode associated with microvoid coalescence. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Photoionization efficiency curves, i.e., the ion signal as a function of photon energy, are used to determine the products and distinguish isomers. Both reactions proceed predominantly via CN addition to the pi orbital of the olefin. For CN+ethene, cyanoethene (C(2)H(3)CN) is detected as the sole product in agreement with recent studies on this reaction. Multiple products are identified for the CN+ propene reaction with 75(+15)% of the detected products in the form of cyanoethene from a CH(3) elimination channel and 25(+/- 15)% forming different isomers of C(4)H(5)N via H elimination. The C(4)H(5)N comprises 57(+15)% 1-cyanopropene, 43(+/- 15)% 2-cyanopropene and <15% 3-cyanopropene. No evidence of direct H abstraction or indirect HCN formation is detected for either reaction. The results have relevance to the molecular weight growth chemistry on Saturn's largest moon Titan, where the formation of small unsaturated nitriles are proposed to be key steps in the early chemical stages of haze formation.

However, size limits their vascular and tissue penetration. To mimic monoclonal antibody binding, nanomolecules have been synthesized, shown specific for the beta subunit of HLA-DR10, and selective for cells expressing this protein. Selective high affinity ligands (SHALs) containing the 3-(2([3-chloro-5-trifluoromethyl)-2-pyridinyl]oxy)-anilino)-3- oxopropanionic acid (Ct) ligand residualized and had antilymphoma activity against expressing cells. Herein, we show the extraordinary potency in mice with human lymphoma xenografts of a tridentate SHAL containing this ligand. After titrating antilymphoma activity in cell culture, a randomized preclinical study of a tridentate SHAL containing the Ct ligand was conducted in mice with established and aggressive human lymphoma xenografts. Mice having HLA-DR10 expressing Raji B- or Jurkat's T-lymphoma xenografts were randomly assigned to receive either treatment with SHAL at a dose of 100 ng i.p. weekly for 3 consecutive weeks, or to be untreated. Primary end-points were cure, overall response rates and survival. Toxicity was also evaluated in these mice, and a USFDA general safety study was conducted in healthy Balb/c mice. In Raji cell culture, the threshold and IC(50) concentrations for cytotoxic activity were 0.7 and 2.5 nmol (pm/ml media), respectively. When compared to treated Jurkat's xenografts or untreated xenografts, Raji xenografts treated with the SHAL showed an 85% reduction in hazard of death (P=0.014; 95% confidence interval 32-95% reduction). There was no evidence for toxicity even after i.p. doses 2000 times greater than the treatment dose associated with cure of a majority of the mice with Raji xenografts. When compared with control groups, treatment selectively improved response rates and survival in mice with HLA-DR10 expressing human lymphoma xenografts at doses not associated with adverse events and readily achievable in patients.

A good number of these applications are data and computation intensive that need to run in high performance computing environments. The ACTS Collection brings robust and high-end software tools to the hands of application developers. However, this transfer of technology is not always successful due in part to the intricacy of the interfaces associated with the software tools. To alleviate this, here we present PyACTS, a set of Python based interfaces to some of the tools in the ACTS collection. We illustrate some examples of these interfaces and their performance, and evaluate not only their performance but also how user friendly they are compared to the original calls. We also present some examples of scientific applications that use PyACTS. C1 [Migallon, Violeta; Penades, Jose] Univ Alicante, Dept Ciencia Computac Inteligencia Artificial, Alicante 03071, Spain.

Two nanoindenters have been used to examine file difference between quasi-static and dynamic loading during indentation. Yield excursions were present in the load-displacement curves of both the statically and dynamically loaded single crystal nickel samples. Only one major excursion occurred in each quasi-static indent, nominally loaded at 100 mu N/s while staircase yielding was observed under dynamic loading indentation with a 45 Hz oscillation of 2 nm superimposed oil a 60 mu N/s loading rate. Thermal activation analysis is used to explain the arrest and reinitiation of file yielding with activation volumes being modeled. For nanoindentation experiments differences between quasi-static and dynamic loading are described by the models presented, It is proposed that insight into the plastic deformation mechanisms associated With such Plastic instabilities will provide one of the keys to length scale effects necessary to Understanding nanostructures.

TI Quantification of ductile crack growth in 18G2A steel at different constraint levels SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PRESSURE VESSELS AND PIPING LA English DT Article ID LAW HARDENING MATERIAL; TIP FIELDS; TRIAXIALITY PARAMETER; FRACTURE; SPECIMENS; BEHAVIOR; FAMILY AB A constraint theory in fracture mechanics is used to analyze the test data of 18G2A steels using single edge-notched bend (SENB) specimens with various crack depth to specimen width ratios (a/W). A bending correction factor is included in the two-parameter (J-A(2)) asymptotic solution to improve the theoretical prediction of the stress field for deep cracks under large-scale yielding condition, where J is the J-integral and A(2) is the constraint parameter, which depends on the in-plane geometry of the cracked body (a/W). As a result, the valid region for a traditional J-controlled crack growth is extended, and the ASTM specimen size requirements for fracture toughness testing can be relaxed. in addition, it is shown that the functional dependence of J-R curves on A(2) for 18G2A steels is established with test data; and the predicted J-R curves agree very well with the experimental curves. This ensures the transferability of laboratory test data to an actual Structure provided the constraint level (A(2)) of the cracked structure is known or determined. This procedure allows an appropriate J-R curve with the same constraint level to be constructed and used in flaw stability analysis of any cracked body. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Experience with inherently heterogeneous earth materials suggests that different varieties of Hooke's law should be applied within regions of the rock having significantly different stress-strain behavior. We apply this idea by dividing a rock body conceptually into two distinct parts. The natural strain (volume change divided by rock volume at the current stress state), rather than the engineering strain (volume change divided by the unstressed rock volume), should be used in Hooke's law for accurate modeling of the elastic deformation of that part of the pore volume subject to a relatively large degree of relative deformation (i.e., cracks or fractures). This approach permits the derivation of constitutive relations between stress and a variety of mechanical and/or hydraulic rock properties. We show that the theoretical predictions of this method are generally consistent with empirical expressions (from field data) and also laboratory rock experimental data. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.

We apply the framework to sparse physics data sets, although the method can easily be extended to other domains. Experiments in applied fields, such as experimental physics, are often complicated and expensive. As a result, experimentalists are unable to conduct as many experiments as they would like, leading to very unbalanced data sets that can be dense in one dimension and very sparse in others. Our method predicts the data values along the sparse dimension providing more information to researchers. Often experiments deviate from expectations due to small misalignments in initial parameters. Our method detects these outlier experiments. C1 [Sakhanenko, Nikita A.; Luger, George F.] Univ New Mexico, Dept Comp Sci, Albuquerque, NM 87131 USA.

Although genomics and biogeochemical methods are relatively well established in the field, their combination with high-resolution imaging of intact members of microbial biofilm communities has not yet reached its full potential. Here, we used three-dimensional (3D) cryogenic electron tomography to determine the size and ultrastructure of intact ARMAN cells, a novel ultra-small archaeon, and sought evidence for their interactions with other members of its community. Within acid mine drainage biofilms, apparently free-living ARMAN cells from a deeply branched archaeal lineage have volumes of 0.009-0.04 mu m(3) (mean similar to 0.03 +/- 0.01 mu m(3)), only similar to 92 ribosomes, yet are frequent hosts for replicating viruses. Organization within the periplasm and partitioning of ribosomes to the inner surface of the cytoplasmic membrane may be factors in size minimization. Most cells contain enigmatic tubular structures of unknown function. The low ribosome copy number per unit volume, indicative of slow growth rates and targeting of cells by diverse viruses may account for the low abundance of ARMAN cells compared with other biofilm community members. Our results provide the first 3D analysis of structural features of these novel and enigmatic cells and their interactions with at least two types of viruses. Our findings also emphasize that new biological phenomena remain to be discovered among lower abundance organisms from novel uncultivated lineages.

The use of a high-density 16S rRNA microarray (PhyloChip) for bacterial and archaeal community analysis has allowed definition of the populations that respond to the root within the complex grassland soil community; this research accompanies compositional changes reported earlier, including increases in chitinase- and protease-specific activity, cell numbers and quorum sensing signal. PhyloChip results showed a significant change compared with bulk soil in relative abundance for 7% of the total rhizosphere microbial community (147 of 1917 taxa); the 7% response value was confirmed by16S rRNA terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. This PhyloChip-defined dynamic subset was comprised of taxa in 17 of the 44 phyla detected in all soil samples. Expected rhizosphere-competent phyla, such as Proteobacteria and Firmicutes, were well represented, as were less-well-documented rhizosphere colonizers including Actinobacteria, Verrucomicrobia and Nitrospira. Richness of Bacteroidetes and Actinobacteria decreased in soil near the root tip compared with bulk soil, but then increased in older root zones. Quantitative PCR revealed rhizosphere abundance of beta-Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria at about 10(8) copies of 16S rRNA genes per g soil, with Nitrospira having about 10(5) copies per g soil. This report demonstrates that changes in a relatively small subset of the soil microbial community are sufficient to produce substantial changes in functions observed earlier in progressively more mature rhizosphere zones.

Metagenomics has recently revealed the composition of genes in the gut microbiome, but provides no direct information about which genes are expressed or functioning. Therefore, our goal was to develop a novel approach to directly identify microbial proteins in fecal samples to gain information about the genes expressed and about key microbial functions in the human gut. We used a non-targeted, shotgun mass spectrometry-based whole community proteomics, or metaproteomics, approach for the first deep proteome measurements of thousands of proteins in human fecal samples, thus demonstrating this approach on the most complex sample type to date. The resulting metaproteomes had a skewed distribution relative to the metagenome, with more proteins for translation, energy production and carbohydrate metabolism when compared to what was earlier predicted from metagenomics. Human proteins, including antimicrobial peptides, were also identified, providing a non-targeted glimpse of the host response to the microbiota. Several unknown proteins represented previously undescribed microbial pathways or host immune responses, revealing a novel complex interplay between the human host and its associated microbes.

They exhibit relatively low species richness and, consequently, represent good model systems to study natural microbial community structure. Fluorescence in situ hybridization combined with epifluorescent microscopy and transmission electron microscopy revealed spatially and temporally defined microbial assemblages. Leptospirillum group II dominates the earliest developmental stages of stream pellicles. With increasing biofilm maturity, the proportion of archaea increases in conjunction with the appearance of eukaryotes. In contrast, mature pool pellicles are stratified with a densely packed bottom layer of Leptospirillum group II, a less dense top layer composed mainly of archaea and no eukarya. Immunohistochemical detection of Leptospirillum group II cytochrome 579 indicates a high abundance of this protein at the interface of the biofilm with the AMD solution. Consequently, community architecture, which most likely develops in response to chemical gradients across the biofilm, is reflected at the functional gene expression level.

An irreversible first-order structural phase transition from tetragonal mackinawite to orthorhombic FeS-II was observed at about 3 GPa. The transition is induced by the closure of the van der Waals gap in the layered mackinawite structure. A grain size effect on the transition pressure and the compressibility was observed.

This is illustrated using the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS). A set of 23 RAMS parameters is optimized by minimizing a cost function based on the root-mean-square (rms) error between the RAMS simulation and synthetic data (observations derived from a separate RAMS simulation). It is found that the optimization can be done with relatively modest computer resources; therefore, operational implementation is possible. The overall number of simulations needed to obtain a specific reduction of the cost function is found to depend strongly on the procedure used to perturb the "child'' parameters relative to their "parents'' within the evolutionary algorithm. In addition, the choice of meteorological variables that are included in the rms error and their relative weighting are also found to be important factors in the optimization.

The Jarvis scheme, however, despite its robustness, needs significant tuning of the hypothetical minimum-stomatal resistance term to simulate surface energy balances. In this study, the authors show that the Jarvis-type stomatal resistance/transpiration model can be efficiently replaced in a coupled land-atmosphere model with a photosynthesis-based scheme and still achieve dynamically consistent results. To demonstrate this transformative potential, the authors developed and coupled a photosynthesis, gas exchange-based surface evapotranspiration model (GEM) as a land surface scheme for mesoscale weather forecasting model applications. The GEM was dynamically coupled with a prognostic soil moisture-soil temperature model and an atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) model. This coupled system was then validated over different natural surfaces including temperate C4 vegetation (prairie grass and corn field) and C3 vegetation (soybean, fallow, and hardwood forest) under contrasting surface conditions (such as different soil moisture and leaf area index). Results indicated that the coupled model was able to realistically simulate the surface fluxes and the boundary layer characteristics over different landscapes. The surface energy fluxes, particularly for latent heat, are typically within 10%-20% of the observations without any tuning of the biophysical-vegetation characteristics, and the response to the changes in the surface characteristics is consistent with observations and theory. This result shows that photosynthesis-based transpiration/stomatal resistance models such as GEM, despite various complexities, can be applied for mesoscale weather forecasting applications. Future efforts for understanding the different scaling parameterizations and for correcting errors for low soil moisture and/or wilting vegetation conditions are necessary to improve model performance. Results from this study suggest that the GEM approach using the photosynthesis-based soil vegetation atmosphere transfer (SVAT) scheme is thus superior to the Jarvis-based approaches. Currently GEM is being implemented within the Noah land surface model for the community Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Advanced Research Version Modeling System (ARW) and the NCAR high-resolution land data assimilation system (HRLDAS), and validation is under way.

Selective incorporation of gallium into the YAG:Ce matrix permits tuning the temperature at which quenching begins. Also, the size of the phosphor particle and processing method affect this characteristic. We describe one such situation in which the quenching of the combustion synthesized nanophosphor Y-3(Al0.5Ga0.5)(5)O-12:Ce 1% was observed from ambient to 125 degrees C. By signal averaging of laser excited fluorescence, temperature uncertainties ranged from 0.05 to 0.15 degrees C. The single shot temperature uncertainty at 115 degrees C was +/- 3 degrees C, indicating the feasibility for transient thermometry with response rate exceeding 1 MHz. C1 [Allison, S.

Unlike past work, large elastic wave amplitudes (similar to 1 GPa) and rapid elastic wave attenuation with propagation distance were observed. The combination of large elastic wave attenuation in thin samples and differences in sample thicknesses between the present and past work suggest a consistent picture of shock propagation in pure aluminum where time-dependent elastic-plastic response is confined to material very near the impact surface. The present results cannot be fully reconciled with recent shockless compression results. C1 [Gupta, Y. M.; Winey, J. M.; Trivedi, P. B.; LaLone, B.

A modified Pechini's method was employed to synthesize YMn2O5.07 powders with different particle sizes under an atmosphere of 10 bar O-2. It was found that the multiferroic YMn2O5.07 compound displays a profound size dependence in its magnetic properties when the particles were smaller than 160 nm. With a decrease in particle size, a ferromagnetic-like phase with a broad transition emerges and the transition temperature increases. This ferromagnetic-like phase might be attributed to the surface layer of the nanoparticles and the broad magnetic transition could be caused by the dispersion of particle size and the size dependence of the transition temperature.

The presence of interfacial layers of oxidized silicon and reduced metal is confirmed here with analytical depth profiling techniques in industrially produced Si thin film solar cells. Atomic-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy and energy loss spectroscopy are used to show that the specific chemistry of the interface, the front TCO being Sn-rich while the back TCO is Zn-rich, has a strong influence on the size of the resulting interfacial layer. Furthermore, the morphology of the interface and the impact of annealing treatments are also studied, leading to suggestions for possible improvements of commercial device efficiency.

We observe a change in transport mechanism which results in an increase in electron mobility from 10% to 80% of the single-crystal silicon mobility as the carrier concentration increases from 10(19) to 10(20) cm(-3). Our measurements of effective mass at the Fermi level indicate that as the carrier concentration increases, there is a shift from impurity-band transport to conduction-band transport, and that the electron effective mass is lower in the impurity band than in the conduction band of Si. The shift to conduction-band transport improves electron mobility with carrier density by improving intragrain carrier mean free path lengths and relaxation times.

The mirror-polished substrate surface showed the formation of a triangular profile produced by a dominant physical sputtering mechanism induced by ion bombardment of ions from the hydrogen plasma accelerated toward the substrate due to biasing and a potential hydrogen-induced chemical reaction component before synthesizing the UNCD films. The BEN-BEG UNCD films grown on the Si substrate with biased and unbiased pretreatments in the hydrogen plasma were compared. In the case of the bias-pretreated substrate, the SiC phases were formed at the peaks of the Si surface triangular profile due to the active unsaturated Si bond and the enhanced local electrical field. The UNCD grains grew preferentially at the peaks of the triangular substrate surface profile and rapidly covered the amorphous carbon (a-C) and oriented graphite phases formed in the valley of the surface profile. In the case of the substrate with unbiased pretreatment, the SiC phases were formed via the reactions between the hydrocarbon species and the active Si atoms released from the substrate with assistance of the hydrogen plasma. The UNCD grains nucleated on the nucleating sites consisting of the SiC, a-C, and graphite phases. Growth mechanisms for the BEN-BEG UNCD films on both Si substrates were proposed to elucidate the different nucleation processes. Applying bias on the Si substrate pretreated in the hydrogen plasma optimized the nucleation sites for growth of UNCD grains, resulting in the low content of the nondiamond phases in UNCD films.

Sackler Gallery. Taking advantage of the superior ablation characteristics and high precision of a femtosecond 266 nm Ti:sapphire laser at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, major, minor and trace element concentrations in the gold fragments were quantified. Results validate use of femtosecond LA-ICP-MS for revealing "fingerprints" in minute gold samples. These fingerprints allow us to establish patterns based on the association of silver, palladium and platinum that support historical, technical and stylistic relationships, and shed new light on these ancient objects.

We begin by discussing how thermally induced localized openings (bubbles) of the DNA double-strand are important for interpreting dynamic force spectroscopy data. Then, we demonstrate a correlation between the sequence-dependent propensity for bubble formation and transcription initiation and other regulatory effects in viral DNA. Finally, we discuss the possibility of a connection between DNA dynamics and the ability of repair proteins to recognize ultraviolet-radiation damage.

The objective of this study is to validate an alternative method of mechanically loading dental composite materials. Confined compression testing more closely represents the complex loading that dental restorations experience in the oral cavity. Dental composites, a nanofilled and a hybrid microfilled, were prepared as cylindrical specimens, light-cured in ring molds of 6061 aluminum, with the ends polished to ensure parallel surfaces. The samples were subjected to confined compression loading to 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15% axial strain. Upon loading, the ring constrains radial expansion of the specimen, generating confinement stresses. A strain gage placed on the outer wall of the aluminum confining ring records hoop strain. Assuming plane stress conditions, the confining stress (sigma(c)) can be calculated at the sample/ring interface. Following mechanical loading, tomographic data was generated using a high-resolution microtomography system developed at beamline 2-BM of the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory. Extraction of the crack and void surfaces present in the material bulk is numerically represented as crack edge/volume (CE/V), and calculated as a fraction of total specimen volume. Initial results indicate that as the strain level increases the CE/V increases. Analysis of the composite specimens under different mechanical loads suggests that microtomography is a useful tool for three-dimensional evaluation of dental composite fracture surfaces.

Because implant placement is burgeoning, patients with medically compromising systemic conditions such as diabetes are increasingly receiving implants, and the role of other inflammatory diseases on implant corrosion also needs investigation. In the current study, the corrosion properties of commercially available, machined titanium implants were studied in blood, cultures of monocytic cells, and solutions containing elevated dextrose concentrations. Implant corrosion was estimated by open circuit potentials, linear polarization resistance, and electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) for 26 h. In selected samples, THP1 monocytic cells were activated for 2 h with Lipopolysaccharide prior to implant exposure, and IL-1 beta secretion was measured to assess the affect of the implants on monocyte activation. Implants under conditions of inflammatory stress exhibited more negative E(corr) values, suggesting an increased potential for corrosion. Linear polarization measurements detected increased corrosion rates in the presence of elevated dextrose conditions over PBS conditions. EIS measurements suggested that implants underwent surface passivation reactions that may have limited corrosion over the short term of this test. This result was supported by cyclic polarization tests. IL-1 beta secretion was not altered under conditions of corrosion or implant exposure. The results suggest that inflammatory stress and hyperglycemia may increase the corrosion of dental endosseous titanium-based implants, but that longer, more aggressive electrochemical conditions may be necessary to fully assess these effects.

We hypothesize that bone active agents improve bone strength in osteoporotic bone by altering different material properties of the bone. Eighteen-month-old female Fischer rats were ovariectomized (OVX) or sham-operated and left untreated for 60 days to induce osteopenia before they were treated with single doses of either risedronate (500 mu g/kg, IV), zoledronic acid (100 mu g/kg, IV), raloxifene (2 mg/kg, PO, three times per week), hPTH(1-34) (25 mu g/kg, SC, three times per week), or vehicle (NS; 1 ml/kg, three times per week). Groups of animals were killed after days 60 and 180 of treatment, and either the proximal tibial metaphysis or lumbar vertebral body were studied. Bone volume and architecture were assessed by mu CT and histomorphometry. Measurements of bone quality included the degree of bone mineralization (DBM), localized elastic modulus, bone turnover by histomorphometry, compression testing of the LVB, and three-point bending testing of the femur. The trabecular bone volume, DBM, elastic modulus, and compressive bone strength were all significantly lower at day 60 post-OVX (pretreatment, day 0 study) than at baseline. After 60 days of all of the bone active treatments, bone mass and material measurements agent were restored. However, after 180 days of treatment, the OVX + PTH group further increased BV/TV (+30% from day 60, p < 0.05 within group and between groups). In addition, after 180 days of treatment, there was more highly mineralized cortical and trabecular bone and increased cortical bone size and whole bone strength in OVX + PTH compared with other OVX + antiresorptives. Treatment of estrogen-deficient aged rats with either antiresorptive agents or PTH rapidly improved many aspects of bone quality including microarchitecture, bone mineralization, turnover, and bone strength. However, prolonged treatment for 180 days with PTH resulted in additional gains in bone quality and bone strength, suggesting that the maximal gains in bone strength in cortical and trabecular bone sites may require a longer treatment period with PTH.

Am. Chem. Soc. 1948, 70, 1870-1878) proposed a modified form of the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) adsorption isotherm to explain the water activity of various concentrated 1:1 and 2:1 aqueous electrolytes. Their pioneering idea of viewing such solutions as an irregular ionic lattice structure inspired much of the author's work from the mid 1980s to the present time. This paper, written in celebration of Prof. Stokes' 90th birthday anniversary, briefly describes the author's contribution toward further development of the theory, its capabilities, and future directions.

The conventional treatment methods of activated carbon adsorption and air-stripping successfully remove these compounds by way of transferring them from the water phase into the solid or gas phase. Catalysis is a promising approach to remove chlorinated compounds completely from the environment, by converting them into safer, non-chlorinated compounds. Palladium-based materials have been shown to be very effective as hydrodechlorination catalysts for the removal of chlorinated ethenes and other related compounds. However, relatively low catalytic activity and a propensity for deactivation are significant issues that prevent their widespread use in groundwater remediation. Palladium-on-gold bimetallic nanoparticles, in contrast, were recently discovered to exhibit superior catalyst activity and improved deactivation resistance. This new type of material is a significant next-step in the development of a viable hydrodechlorination catalysis technology.

TI The Mid-1970s Climate Shift in the Pacific and the Relative Roles of Forced versus Inherent Decadal Variability SO JOURNAL OF CLIMATE LA English DT Article ID SEA-SURFACE TEMPERATURE; ANTHROPOGENIC FORCINGS; EL-NINO; 20TH-CENTURY; MODULATION; MECHANISM; SIGNALS; MODELS; REGION; SOLAR AB A significant shift from cooler to warmer tropical Pacific sea surface temperatures (SSTs), part of a pattern of basinwide SST anomalies involved with a transition to the positive phase of the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation (IPO), occurred in the mid-1970s with effects that extended globally. One view is that this change was entirely natural and was a product of internally generated decadal variability of the Pacific climate system. However, during the mid-1970s there was also a significant increase of global temperature and changes to a number of other quantities that have been associated with changes in external forcings, particularly increases of greenhouse gases from the burning of fossil fuels. Analysis of observations, an unforced control run from a global coupled climate model, and twentieth-century simulations with changes in external forcings show that the observed 1970s climate shift had a contribution from changes in external forcing superimposed on what was likely an inherent decadal fluctuation of the Pacific climate system. Thus, this inherent decadal variability associated with the IPO delayed until the 1970s what likely would have been a forced climate shift in the 1960s from a negative to positive phase of the IPO.

The model accounts for elastic fibers embedded in a thermoplastic resin that exhibits the elastic-plastic behavior obeying the Ramberg-Osgood relation and J-2 deformation theory of plasticity. It also accounts for fiber length and orientation distributions in the composite formed by the injection-molding process. Fiber orientation was predicted using an anisotropic rotary diffusion model recently developed for LFTs. An incremental procedure using Eshelby's equivalent inclusion method and the Mori-Tanaka assumption is applied to compute the overall stress increment resulting from an overall strain increment for an aligned-fiber composite that contains the same fiber volume fraction and length distribution as the actual composite. The incremental response of the latter is then obtained from the solution for the aligned-fiber composite by averaging over all fiber orientations. Failure during incremental loading is predicted using the Van Hattum-Bernado model that is adapted to the composite elastic-plastic behavior. The model is validated against the experimental stress-strain results obtained for long-glass-fiber/polypropylene specimens.

In the first, the optical properties of C-60 are shown to be enhanced via reduction of the perfectly spherical l(h) symmetry structure to energetically feasible lower symmetries. A D-3d symmetry structure of C-60 proved to be 39 meV lower in energy than the I-h conformation. This reduction in symmetry activates otherwise silent modes in the IR and Raman spectra, possibly achievable via solvation effects. In the second pathway, fusing a building block of an-all carbon hexagonal unit as a connector between two C-60 cages is considered. Optimizations on a resulting series of dumbbell-like structures, molecular C-126, C,32, C-138, C-144, and C-180, impart distinct variation in the electronic properties of these novel structures with size of the fused unit. These structures are further shown to support stable anionic radical forms. C1 Lawrence Livermore Natl Lab, Energet Mat Ctr, Livermore, CA 94551 USA.

The Coulomb energy is included via the LDA and generalizations to spin-polarized media. We find the ground state to be a spin polarized antiferromagnet at, or near, one electron per unit cell (v=1), and paramagnetic at v = 2. At v = 3, where, by analogy with Lieb's theorem for the Hubbard model one might expect a ferromagnetic ground state, we only find paramagnetism which we interpret as a failure of the tight-binding approximation to fit solutions of the wave equation. Interestingly, the procedures used to find a converged paramagnetic or antiferromagnetic ground state fail only for concentrations in the ranges 0.75 < vertical bar v-2 vertical bar < 0.84. We attribute this instability to the presence of a new, possibly superconducting, phase outside the scope of the LDA at those concentrations.

High-throughput determination of protein-protein interaction networks has led to the observation that topological bottlenecks, proteins defined by high centrality in the network, are enriched in proteins with systems-level phenotypes such as essentiality. Global transcriptional profiling by microarray analysis has been used extensively to characterize systems, for example, examining cellular response to environmental conditions and effects of genetic mutations. These transcriptomic datasets have been used to infer regulatory and functional relationship networks based on co-regulation. We use the context likelihood of relatedness (CLR) method to infer networks from two datasets gathered from the pathogen Salmonella typhimurium: one under a range of environmental culture conditions and the other from deletions of 15 regulators found to be essential in virulence. Bottleneck and hub genes were identified from these inferred networks, and we show for the first time that these genes are significantly more likely to be essential for virulence than their non-bottleneck or non-hub counterparts. Networks generated using simple similarity metrics (correlation and mutual information) did not display this behavior. Overall, this study demonstrates that topology of networks inferred from global transcriptional profiles provides information about the systems-level roles of bottleneck genes. Analysis of the differences between the two CLR-derived networks suggests that the bottleneck nodes are either mediators of transitions between system states or sentinels that reflect the dynamics of these transitions.

Whereas we previously have reported results from CAST with evacuated magnet bores (Phase I), setting limits on lower mass axions, here we report results from CAST where the magnet bores were filled with He-4 gas (Phase II) of variable pressure. The introduction of gas generates a refractive photon mass m(gamma), thereby achieving the maximum possible conversion rate for those axion masses m(a) that match m(gamma). With 160 different pressure settings we have scanned m(a) up to about 0.4 eV, taking approximately 2 h of data for each setting. From the absence of excess x-rays when the magnet was pointing to the Sun, we set a typical upper limit on the axion-photon coupling of g(a gamma) less than or similar to 2.2 x 10(-10) GeV-1 at 95% CL for m(a) less than or similar to 0.4 eV, the exact result depending on the pressure setting. The excluded parameter range covers realistic axion models with a Peccei-Quinn scale in the neighborhood of f(a) similar to 10(7) GeV. Currently in the second part of CAST Phase II, we are searching for axions with masses up to about 1.2 eV using He-3 as a buffer gas. C1 [Arik, E.; Boydag, F. S.; Cetin, S. A.; Dogan, O.

Mulligan, Jane Grudic, Greg TI Learning Terrain Segmentation with Classifier Ensembles for Autonomous Robot Navigation in Unstructured Environments SO JOURNAL OF FIELD ROBOTICS LA English DT Article ID OFF-ROAD NAVIGATION; LAGR PROGRAM; VISION AB Autonomous robot navigation in Unstructured outdoor environments is a challenging area of active research and is currently unsolved. The navigation task requires identifying safe, traversable paths that allow the robot to progress toward a goal while avoiding obstacles. Stereo is an effective tool in the near field, but used alone leads to a common failure mode in autonomous navigation in which suboptimal trajectories are followed due to nearsightedness, or the robot's inability to distinguish obstacles and safe terrain in the far field. This can be addressed through the use of machine learning methods to accomplish near-to-far learning, in which near-field terrain appearance and stereo readings are used to train models able to predict far-field terrain. This paper proposes to enhance existing, memoryless near-to-far learning approaches through the use of classifier ensembles that allow terrain models trained on data seen at different points in time to be preserved and referenced later. These stored models serve as memory, and we show that they can be leveraged for more effective far-field terrain classification on future images seen by the robot. A five-factor, full-factorial, repeated-measures experimental evaluation is performed on hand-labeled data sets taken directly from the problem domain. The experiments result in many statistically significant findings, the most important being that the proposed near-to-far Best-K Ensemble Algorithm, with appropriate parameter selection, outperforms the single-model, nonensemble baseline approach in far-field terrain classification. Several other findings that inform the use of near-to-far ensemble methods are also presented. (C) 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. C1 [Procopio, Michael J.] Sandia Natl Labs, Albuquerque, NM 87185 USA.

Ionic tetrahydrothiophenium fragment is the most effective leaving group, the methanesulfonyl moiety is a somewhat less effective, and Br- and Cl- are the least effective. Relatively mild conditions of the reaction between (2-pyridyl)-tetrahydrothiophenium salts and KF, as well as the convenience of one-step synthesis of these salts from 2(1H)-pyridinethiones, make these salts the compounds of choice for the preparation of ring-fluorinated pyridines.

Deposition of chromic oxide at this interface increases overpotential losses, thereby degrading fuel cell performance and efficiency. Balance of plant components have not received attention as a chromium source but can produce volatile Cr species through direct thermal contact with the hot cell stack. In this work, materials representative of BoP component alloys were exposed to dry air at temperatures between 600 degrees C and 800 degrees C for 72 h. The material classes tested include austenitic steel, ferritic steel, alumina formers, silica formers, and a specialty ferritic with elevated alumina and silica content. The surface scales formed on each alloy were identified using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Thin surface scales were formed that included Cr-, Fe-, Al-, and Si-oxides as well as Mn-Cr spinel. The surface composition estimated from the analytical data is used to thermodynamically calculate the abundance of volatile chromium species over the alloys. Using the calculated vapor composition and assumed rate efficiencies, it is possible to calculate the mass of Cr(2)O(3) that will deposit on the SOFC surface. Up to 4.3 cm(2) of SOFC active area can be deactivated in 2000 h of operation assuming a 1% efficiency of volatilization of chrome species and a 1% efficiency of deposition of Cr(2)O(3). This is estimated to be approximately 5% of the starting active area of an similar to 20 W SOFC. Degradation of SOFC performance is expected to scale almost linearly with stack size.

TI Syngas Production via High-Temperature Coelectrolysis of Steam and Carbon Dioxide SO JOURNAL OF FUEL CELL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article DE chromatography; electrochemical electrodes; electrolysis; gas sensors; hydrogen economy; reduction (chemical); solid oxide fuel cells AB This paper presents results of recent experiments on simultaneous high-temperature electrolysis (coelectrolysis) of steam and carbon dioxide using solid-oxide electrolysis cells. Coelectrolysis is complicated by the fact that the reverse shift reaction occurs concurrently with the electrolytic reduction reactions. All reactions must be properly accounted for when evaluating results. Electrochemical performance of the button cells and stacks was evaluated over a range of temperatures, compositions, and flow rates. The apparatus used for these tests is heavily instrumented, with precision mass-flow controllers, online dewpoint and CO(2) sensors, and numerous pressure and temperature measurement stations. It also includes a gas chromatograph for analyzing outlet gas compositions. Comparisons of measured compositions to predictions obtained from a chemical equilibrium coelectrolysis model are presented, along with corresponding polarization curves. Results indicate excellent agreement between predicted and measured outlet compositions. Cell area-specific resistance values were found to be similar for steam electrolysis and coelectrolysis. Coelectrolysis significantly increases the yield of syngas over the reverse water gas shift-reaction equilibrium composition. The process appears to be a promising technique for large-scale syngas production. C1 [Stoots, Carl M.; O'Brien, James E.; Herring, J. Stephen] Idaho Natl Lab, Idaho Falls, ID 83415 USA.

We discuss several examples showing that matched samples are in general not only more accurate than a parton shower alone, but also sometimes indispensable to make reliable predictions of beyond the Standard Model signals.

A low transverse-momentum threshold for muon identification, in combination with the large rapidity coverage of the ZEUS muon system, gives access to almost the full phase space for beauty production. The total cross section for beauty production in e p collisions at root s = 318 GeV has been measured to be sigma(tot)(ep -> b (b) over barX) = 13.9 +/- 1.5(stat.)(-4.3)(+4.0)(syst.) nb. Differential cross sections and a measurement of b (b) over bar correlations are also obtained, and compared to other beauty cross-section measurements, Monte Carlo models and next-to-leading-order QCD predictions.

Sherpa is a general-purpose tool for the simulation of particle collisions at high-energy colliders. It contains a very flexible tree-level matrix-element generator for the calculation of hard scattering processes within the Standard Model and various new physics models. The emission of additional QCD partons off the initial and final states is described through a parton-shower model. To consistently combine multi-parton matrix elements with the QCD parton cascades the approach of Catani, Krauss, Kuhn and Webber is employed. A simple model of multiple interactions is used to account for underlying events in hadron-hadron collisions. The fragmentation of partons into primary hadrons is described using a phenomenological cluster-hadronisation model. A comprehensive library for simulating tau-lepton and hadron decays is provided. Where available form-factor models and matrix elements are used, allowing for the inclusion of spin correlations; effects of virtual and real QED corrections are included using the approach of Yennie, Frautschi and Suura.

TI Energy dependence of J/psi absorption in proton-nucleus collisions SO JOURNAL OF HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS LA English DT Article DE Heavy Ions ID PB-PB COLLISIONS; PARTON DISTRIBUTIONS; PSI' PRODUCTION; SUPPRESSION; SCATTERING; DENSITY AB Charmonium states are expected to be considerably suppressed in the case of quark-gluon plasma formation in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. However, a robust identification of suppression patterns as signatures of a deconfined QCD medium requires a detailed understanding of the "normal nuclear absorption" already present in proton-nucleus collisions, where the charmonium production cross sections increase less than linearly with the number of target nucleons. We analyse the J/psi production cross sections measured in proton-nucleus collisions in fixed target experiments, with proton beam energies from 200 to 920GeV, and in d-Au collisions at RHIC, at root(NN)-N-s = 200GeV, in the framework of the Glauber formalism, using several sets of parton distributions with and without nuclear modifications. The results reveal a significant dependence of the "absorption cross section" on the kinematics of the J/psi and on the collision energy. Extrapolating the observed patterns we derive the level of absorption expected at E-lab = 158GeV, the energy at which the heavy-ion data sets were collected at the CERN SPS.

TI Estimating the probability that the sample mean is within a desired fraction of the standard deviation of the true mean SO JOURNAL OF HUMAN EVOLUTION LA English DT Article DE Anthropology; Quantitative methods; Sample mean; Statistics AB The use of small sample sizes in human and primate evolutionary research is commonplace. Estimating how well small samples represent the underlying population, however, is not commonplace. Because the accuracy of determinations of taxonomy, phylogeny, and evolutionary process are dependant upon how well the study sample represents the population of interest, characterizing the uncertainty, or potential error, associated with analyses of small sample sizes is essential. We present a method for estimating the probability that the sample mean is within a desired fraction of the standard deviation of the true mean using small (n < 10) or very small (n <= 5) sample sizes. This method can be used by researchers to determine post hoc the probability that their sample is a meaningful approximation of the population parameter. We tested the method using a large craniometric data set commonly used by researchers in the field. Given our results, we suggest that sample estimates of the population mean can be reasonable and meaningful even when based on small. and perhaps even very small, sample sizes. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.

TI Molybdenum X-ray absorption edges from 200 to 20,000 eV: The benefits of soft X-ray spectroscopy for chemical speciation SO JOURNAL OF INORGANIC BIOCHEMISTRY LA English DT Article DE Molybdenum; XANES; Near-edge spectra; XAS; X-ray absorption spectroscopy; Soft X-ray spectroscopy; L-edge spectroscopy; M-edge spectroscopy; Superconducting tunnel junctions; STJ X-ray detectors; Molybdate; Thiomolybdate; Sodium tetrathiomolybdate; Crystal structure ID SHELL COSTER-KRONIG; CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE; RADIATIVE RATES; FLUORESCENCE YIELDS; STRUCTURE CHEMISTRY; SULFITE OXIDASE; TETRATHIOMOLYBDATE; AUGER; SITE; MO AB We have surveyed the chemical utility of the near-edge structure of molybdenum X-ray absorption edges from the hard X-ray K-edge at 20,000 eV down to the soft X-ray M(4.5)-edges at similar to 230 eV. We compared, for each edge, the spectra of two tetrahedral anions, MoO(4)(2-) and MoS(4)(2-). We used three criteria for assessing near-edge structure of each edge: (i) the ratio of the observed chemical shift between MoO(4)(2-) and MoS(4)(2-) and the linewidth, (ii) the chemical information from analysis of the near-edge structure and (iii) the ease of measurement using fluorescence detection. Not surprisingly, the K-edge was by far the easiest to measure, but it contained the least information. The L(2.3)-edges, although harder to measure, had benefits with regard to selection rules and chemical speciation in that they had both a greater chemical shift as well as detailed lineshapes which could be theoretically analyzed in terms of Mo ligand field, symmetry, and covalency. The soft X-ray M(2.3)-edges were perhaps the least useful, in that they were difficult to measure using fluorescence detection and had very similar information content to the corresponding L(2.3)-edges. Interestingly, the soft X-ray, low energy (similar to 230 eV) M(4.5)-edges had greatest potential chemical sensitivity and using our high-resolution superconducting tunnel junction (STJ) fluorescence detector they appear to be straightforward to measure. The spectra were amenable to analysis using both the TT-multiplet approach and FEFF. The results using FEFF indicate that the sharp near-edge peaks arise from 3d -> 5p transitions, while the broad edge structure has predominately 3d -> 4f character. A proper understanding of the dependence of these soft X-ray spectra on ligand field and site geometry is necessary before a complete assessment of the utility of the Mo M(4.5)-edges can be made. This work includes crystallographic characterization of sodium tetrathiomolybdate. (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

TI An Essential Role for Dermal Primary Cilia in Hair Follicle Morphogenesis SO JOURNAL OF INVESTIGATIVE DERMATOLOGY LA English DT Article ID SONIC HEDGEHOG; BETA-CATENIN; INTRAFLAGELLAR TRANSPORT; REPRESSOR FUNCTIONS; ALPHA-TUBULIN; HUMAN SKIN; CELLS; MOUSE; EXPRESSION; DISEASE AB The primary cilium is a microtubule-based organelle implicated as an essential component of a number of signaling pathways. It is present on cells throughout the mammalian body; however, its functions in most tissues remain largely unknown. Herein we demonstrate that primary cilia are present on cells in murine skin and hair follicles throughout morphogenesis and during hair follicle cycling in postnatal life. Using the Cre-lox system, we disrupted cilia assembly in the ventral dermis and evaluated the effects on hair follicle development. Mice with disrupted dermal cilia have severe hypotrichosis (lack of hair) in affected areas. Histological analyses reveal that most follicles in the mutants arrest at stage 2 of hair development and have small or absent dermal condensates. This phenotype is reminiscent of that seen in the skin of mice lacking Shh or Gli2. In situ hybridization and quantitative RT-PCR analysis indicates that the hedgehog pathway is downregulated in the dermis of the cilia mutant hair follicles. Thus, these data establish cilia as a critical signaling component required for normal hair morphogenesis and suggest that this organelle is needed on cells in the dermis for reception of signals such as sonic hedgehog.

We discuss the effect of microstructure on secondary phase segregation in epitaxial/oriented ZnO thin films with Cr as an unfavorable dopant (Cr: ZnO). Since differences in thin film microstructure are a function of the substrate and its orientation, simultaneous chemical vapor depositions were carried out on single crystals of Si (100), c-axis oriented Al(2)O(3) (c-ALO), and r-axis oriented Al(2)O(3) (r-ALO) resulting in epitaxial film growth on r-ALO and c-axis oriented film growth on Si and c-ALO, with a difference in vertical grain boundary density. To enhance the analysis sensitivity to the microstructure difference, the thickness of Cr:ZnO films was maintained at similar to 50 rim. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) analysis indicates uniform stress distribution in Cr:ZnO grown on r-ALO. Surface sensitive x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectroscopy (TOF-SIMS) techniques were utilized for analysis of the data. We observe that a higher grain boundary density and the presence of an amorphous layer at the interface for films grown on Si (100) single crystal led to interfacial Cr-based secondary phase segregation as opposed to lower grain boundary density and epitaxial films grown on c-ALO and r-ALO single crystals, respectively. We also discuss the effects of trace carbon solubility on the film microstructure/secondary phase segregation relationship. C1 [Saraf, L. V.; Zhu, Z. H.; Wang, C. M.; Engelhard, M.

Results show that different tilting mechanisms were effective in films with different oxygen stoichiometry. Moreover, the structure of the film/substrate interface investigated by transmission electron microscopy, and the residual strain of the film investigated by x-ray diffraction were also dependent on the film oxygen content. Although the oxygen stoichiometric Y2O3 sample exhibited a coherent film/substrate interface and the sharpest out-of-plane texture, the films grown under reduced oxygen pressure exhibited a smaller overall c-axis tilt due to fort-nation of interface dislocations and regions in which the film oxygen vacancies ordered to form a lattice superstructure.

TI Structure of vapor-phase deposited Al-Ge thin films and Al-Ge intermediate layer bonding of Al-based microchannel structures SO JOURNAL OF MATERIALS RESEARCH LA English DT Article ID SILICON-WAFERS; TEMPERATURE; CODEPOSITION; FABRICATION; DEPENDENCE; SEPARATION; COATINGS; MEMS AB Al-based high-aspect-ratio microscale structures (HARMS) are basic building blocks for all-Al microdevices. Bonding of Al-based HARMS is essential for device assembly. In this paper, bonding of Al-based HARMS to flat At plates using Al-Ge thin film intermediate layers is investigated. The structure of sputter codeposited Al-Ge thin films was studied by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy as a function of the average film composition. The structure of the interface region between Al-based HARMS bonded to flat At plates is studied by combining focused ion beam sectioning and scanning electron microscopy. An extended bonding interface region, similar to 100 mu m in width, is observed and suggested to result from liquidus/solidus reactions as well as diffusion of Ge in solid At at the bonding temperature of 500 degrees C. The extended interface region is suggested to be beneficial to Al-Al bonding via Al-Ge intermediate layers. C1 [Mei, Fanghua; Meng, W.

TI Investigation of early growth of calcium hydroxide crystals in cement solution by soft X-ray transmission microscopy SO JOURNAL OF MATERIALS SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID PORTLAND-CEMENT; HYDRATION; NUCLEATION; GEL AB The early growth of calcium hydroxide (CH) crystals in cement solution is investigated by soft X-ray transmission microscopy imaging. Aquantitative analysis of the successively recorded images of the hydration process enabled to evaluate the supersaturation ratio of solution, growth rates, both kinetic and diffusion coefficients, and concentrations of solute molecules at {10 (1) over bar0} and {0001} facets of the CH crystals. It is concluded that the difference in obtained concentrations of solute molecules at these facets may be associated with solubility anisotropy of crystallographic facets of the CH. The interfacial energy of the CH nuclei in aqueous solution is evaluated to be 0.114 J/m(2) that by an order of magnitude is smaller than the average free surface energy of this phase. The proposed theoretical approach is universal and, in potential, may be applied to any precipitating phase in a supersaturated solution. C1 [Harutyunyan, V. S.; Aivazyan, A.

For non-model bacteria, a method for phenotypic analysis is invaluable, not only to serve as a starting point for further evaluation, but also to provide a broad understanding of the physiology of an uncharacterized wild-type organism or the physiology/phenotype of a newly created mutant of that organism. Given recent advances in genetic characterization and targeted mutations to elucidate genetic networks and metabolic pathways, high-throughput methods for determining phenotypic differences are essential. Here we outline challenges presented in studying the physiology and phenotype of a sulfate-reducing anaerobic delta proteobacterium. Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough. Modifications of the commercially available OmniLog (TM) system (Hayward, CA) for experimental setup, and configuration, as well as considerations in PM data analysis are presented. Also highlighted here is data viewing software that enables users to view and compare multiple PM data sets. The PM method promises to be a valuable strategy in our systems biology approach to D. vulgaris studies and is readily applicable to other anaerobic and aerobic bacteria. Published by Elsevier B.V.

The valves require zero power and close at preset offset pressures (0-35 psig) to switch from gas sample loading onto a preconcentrator to concentrated constituent sample injection into a microgas chromatograph. Air flow rates of 4.5 mL/min at pressures of -2.5--5 psig (vacuum sample loading) were measured. Hydrogen leak rates of 0.1 mu L/s (0.006 mL/min) were measured with valves closed at 15 psig. Analytical and numerical modeling was used to guide design of valve spring constants (ranging from 10 to 1500 N/m) that control the valve open position, How rate, and closing pressure. The parameter design space is limited to a range of seat overlap, valve size, and spring stiffness that will allow adequate flow rate, sealing, and closing at predictable pressures. A linear curve defining closing pressure as a function of spring constant, valve gap, valve size, and seat overlap fit measured closing pressure data and can be used to predict closing pressure for future designs.

The fabrication process is based on a combination of potassium hydroxide (KOH) etch and deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) of (110) SOI wafers. The process starts by creating optical-quality vertical surfaces by KOH etch, followed by an oxidation step to protect them. The patterned wafer is then etched by DRIE to define actuators. The process is designed to allow the KOH etch and DRIE to be independently optimized without compromising either while at the same time meeting the challenge of lithography on high-aspectratio structures. Three variations of the fabrication process are demonstrated, two that use double masking layers and one that uses a silicon masking layer. We demonstrate in-plane scanners and fast translational vertical mirrors fabricated using these processes. In addition, we propose extensions of the fabrication process to account for DRIE aspect-ratio limitations. Mask layouts of key SOB building blocks, including vertical mirrors, beam splitters, and parallel-plate actuators, are also presented.

TI Fully compliant double tensural tristable micromechanisms (DTTM) SO JOURNAL OF MICROMECHANICS AND MICROENGINEERING LA English DT Article ID BISTABLE MICROMECHANISMS; DESIGN; MECHANISM; CONFIGURATIONS; MICROACTUATOR; SWITCHES; BEHAVIOR AB Numerous possible micromechanism applications (e. g. three-way switches, mechanical memory and multiplex optical switches) could benefit from a device with three stable equilibrium positions. In this paper, we present a new class of tristable mechanisms called double tensural tristable mechanisms (DTTMs) which are fully compliant (i.e. they are monolithic and get their motion from the deflection of elastic components) and can be fabricated at the micro scale. A pseudo-rigid-body model (PRBM) for the DTTM has been developed. DTTMs were fabricated in polysilicon using the SUMMiT V process and tested for tristability and force-deflection characteristics. The results successfully demonstrate tristable behavior and show that the PRBM can be used to identify tristable configurations and predict their performance.

The CN radical was produced by 193 nm photodissociation of NCCN (ethane dinitrile) and detected with a Ti:sapphire ring laser operating near 10 900 cm(-1). The sample was exposed to a weak, frequency-modulated probe beam and a strong, counter-propagating bleach laser beam. Demodulated probe laser signals display absorption and dispersion features derived from Doppler-free saturation of the hyperfine components as the laser scans across the central region of a Doppler-broadened rotational line spectrum. Hyperfine-resolved transition frequencies were combined with known ground-state X-2 Sigma hyperfine term values to determine A(2)Pi state hyperfine term values, which were analyzed in terms of an effective Hamiltonian for the A(2)Pi state. All the expected hyperfine and N-14 quadrupolar parameters were determined and their values analyzed in terms of a simple molecular orbital picture of the bonding in the radical. Higher sensitivity obtained with 400 kHz amplitude modulation of the bleach laser and additional phase-sensitive detection allowed hyperfine splittings in some rotational lines of (CN)-C-13-N-14 to be observed in natural abundance. Excited state hyperfine splittings were determined for a selection of rotational states, but not enough to determine the C-13 hyperfine parameters. (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

This procedure does not require DIS approximations or quark structure assumptions. We find that the results depend critically on properly accounting for the Q(2) dependence of proton and deuteron data. We interpolate the data to fixed Q(2), and extract the ratio of neutron to proton structure functions. The extracted ratio decreases with increasing x, up to x approximate to 0.9, while there are no data available to constrain the behavior at larger x. C1 [Arrington, J.; Coester, F.; Holt, R.

We find that the global r-process abundance pattern is sensitive to the magnitude of the neutron capture cross section of Sn-130. The changes to the abundance pattern include not only a relative decrease in the abundance of Sn-130 and an increase in the abundance of Sn-131, but also a shift in the distribution of material in the rare earth and third peak regions.

TI Semi-Infinite Target Penetration by Ogive-Nose Penetrators: ALEGRA/SHISM Code Predictions for Ideal and Nonideal Impacts SO JOURNAL OF PRESSURE VESSEL TECHNOLOGY-TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASME LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT Pressure Vessels and Piping Conference of the American-Society-of-Mechanical-Engineers CY JUL 17-21, 2005 CL Denver, CO SP Amer Soc Mech Engineers DE aluminium; ballistics; finite element analysis; impact (mechanical); projectiles; steel; thermomechanical treatment ID 6061-T6511 ALUMINUM TARGETS; BALLISTIC PENETRATION; STEEL PROJECTILES; SIMULATIONS AB The physics of ballistic penetration mechanics is of great interest in penetrator and countermeasure design. The phenomenology associated with these events can be quite complex, and a significant number of studies have been conducted ranging from purely experimental to "engineering" models based on empirical and/or analytical descriptions to fully coupled penetrator/target, thermomechanical numerical simulations. Until recently, however, there appears to be a paucity of numerical studies considering "nonideal" impacts (Goldsmith, 1999, "Non-Ideal Projectile Impact on Targets," Int. J. Impact Eng., 22, pp. 95-395). The goal of this work is to demonstrate the SHISM algorithm implemented in the tALEGRA multimaterial arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian code (Boucheron, , 2002, ALEGRA: User Input and Physics Descriptions, Version 4.2, SAND2002-2775, Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, NM). The SHISM algorithm models the three-dimensional continuum solid mechanics response of the target and penetrator in a fully coupled manner. This capability allows for the study of nonideal impacts (e.g., pitch, yaw, and/or obliquity of the target/penetrator pair). In this work predictions using the SHISM algorithm are compared with previously published experimental results for selected ideal and nonideal impacts of metal penetrator-target pairs. These results show good agreement between predicted and measured maximum depths-of-penetration (DOPs), for ogive-nose penetrators with striking velocities in the 0.5-1.5 km/s range. Ideal impact simulations demonstrate convergence in predicted DOP for the velocity range considered. A theory is advanced to explain disagreement between predicted and measured DOPs at higher striking velocities. This theory postulates uncertainties in angle-of-attack for the observed discrepancies. It is noted that material models and associated parameters used here were unmodified from those in literature. Hence, no tuning of models was performed to match experimental data.

In this perspective review, we provide an overview on the relevance of the Maillard reaction in the pathogenesis of chronic disease and discuss traditional approaches and recent developments in the analysis of glycated proteins by mass spectrometry. We propose that proteomics approaches, particularly bottom-up proteomics, will play a significant role in analyses of clinical samples leading to the identification of new markers of disease development and progression.

TI Reference materials characterized for impurities in uranium matrices: An overview and re-evaluation of the NBL CRM 124 series SO JOURNAL OF RADIOANALYTICAL AND NUCLEAR CHEMISTRY LA English DT Article AB The characterized concentrations of 24 impurity elements in New Brunswick Laboratory (NBL) Certified Reference Material (CRM) 124 were reevaluated. A provisional certificate of analysis was issued in September 1983 based upon the "as prepared" values (gravimetric mixing). The provisional certificate does not state uncertainties for the characterized values, or estimate the degree of homogeneity. Since release of the provisional certificate of analysis various laboratories have reported analytical results for CRM 124. Based upon the reported data a re-evaluation of the characterized values with an estimate of their uncertainties was performed in this work. An assessment of the degree of homogeneity was included. The overall difference between the re-evaluated values for the 24 impurity elements and the "as prepared" values from the provisional certificate of analysis is negligible compared to the uncertainties. Therefore, NBL will establish the "as prepared" values as the certified values and use the derived uncertainties from this work for the uncertainties of the certified values. The traceability of the "as prepared" values was established by the gravimetric mixing procedure employed during the preparation of the CRM. NBL further recommends a minimum sample size of 1 g of the CRM material to ensure homogeneity. Samples should be dried by heating up to 110 A degrees C for one hour before use.

TI Magnetic properties of KNaMSi4O10 compounds (M = Mn, Fe, Cu) SO JOURNAL OF SOLID STATE CHEMISTRY LA English DT Article DE Manaksite; Fenaksite; Litidionite; Magnetic properties; Dimers; Hydrothermal synthesis ID CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE; COMPLEXES; TRANSITION; DIMER AB In the present work the synthesis and magnetic properties of three compounds with formula KNaMSi4O10 (M = Mn, Fe, Cu) are described. These compounds are synthetic analogs to natural occurring minerals: fenaksite-Fe2+, litidionite-Cu2+ and manaksite-Mn2+. The crystal structure consists of complex silicate chains interconnected by edge-sharing MO5 square pyramids dimerized in M2O8 units. This charged metal-silicate framework is compensated by monovalent alkali metals (K+, Na+). Despite the isostructural nature of these compounds, and the consequent similarity of the M-O topology, that rules the magnetic properties, these are quite different. While there are antiferromagnetic (AF) interactions within the Mn and Cu dimers (exchange interaction J = -3.83(1) and -2.86(3) K, respectively) with no long range order, a ferromagnetic interaction within Fe dimers (J = +7.6(1) K) is observed with a three-dimensional transition at 9K to an AF ground state. The magnetic behaviour is analyzed using the HDVV (Heisenberg-Dirac-Van Vleck) formalism and discussed in the light of the crystal structure. (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

A detailed analysis of the room temperature neutron time-of-flight diffraction data reveals that the crystal structure of the sample SrCo0.5Fe0.5O2.89(1), previously described as vacancy-disordered cubic, is similar to the formerly reported, oxygen-vacancy ordered Sr8Fe8O23 Compound, i.e. Sr8Co4Fe4O23 is tetragonal with the 14/mmm symmetry. With an increase of the La content the studied materials become nearly oxygen stoichiometric and a lowering of the crystal symmetry is observed from cubic Pm (3) over barm (x = 0.1 and 0.2) to tetragonal 14/mcm (x = 0.3 and 0.4), and finally to monoclinic I12/c1 (x = 0.5).

We show that the low energy effective field theory is given by a spin-charge separated theory of a Tomonaga-Luttinger Hamiltonian and the O(3) non-linear sigma model describing collective charge and spin excitations respectively. At a particular ratio of the density-density to spin-spin interaction the model is integrable, and we use the exact solutions to provide an independent derivation of the low energy effective theory. The system is in a super fluid phase made of singlet pairs of bosons, and we calculate the long-distance asymptotics of certain correlation functions. C1 [Essler, F. H.

The interactions are long range and the collisions are not instantaneous. A direct simulation approach is presented for measuring by computer experiment what the relaxed distribution is. The conclusion of the analysis is that the relaxed distribution includes both a low energy component that is well described using the usual Boltzmann distribution and a high energy tail described using a power law. The results of the simulation study are compared directly with the model recently proposed by Kaniadakis (2002 Phys. Rev. E 66 056125).

There are often many competing criteria that could be considered in selecting the design, and practitioners are typically forced to make trade-offs between these objectives when choosing the final design. Traditional alphabetic optimality criteria are often used in evaluating and comparing competing designs. These optimality criteria are single-number summaries for quality properties of the design such as the precision with which the model parameters are estimated or the uncertainty associated with prediction. Other important considerations include the robustness of the design to model misspecification and potential problems arising from spurious or missing data. Several qualitative and quantitative properties of good response Surface designs are discussed, and some of their important trade-offs are considered. Graphical methods for evaluating design performance for several important response surface problems are discussed and we show how these techniques can be used to compare competing designs. These graphical methods are generally superior to the simplistic summaries of alphabetic optimality criteria. Several special cases are considered, including robust parameter designs, split-plot designs. mixture experiment designs, and designs for generalized linear models, (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.

TI Turned on for degradation: ATPase-independent degradation by ClpP SO JOURNAL OF STRUCTURAL BIOLOGY LA English DT Article DE ATP-independent degradation; ClP; ClpP; Substrate entry ID ESCHERICHIA-COLI CLPP; MOLECULAR CHAPERONE; DEPENDENT PROTEASES; PROTEIN-DEGRADATION; N-TERMINUS; TRANSLOCATION; PROTEOLYSIS; BINDING; CRYSTALLOGRAPHY; HYDROLYSIS AB Clp is a barrel-shaped hetero-oligomeric ATP-dependent protease comprising a hexameric ATPase (ClpX or ClpA) that unfolds protein substrates and translocates them into the central chamber of the tetradecameric proteolytic component (ClpP) where they are degraded processively to short peptides. Chamber access is controlled by the N-terminal 20 residues (for Escherichia coli) in ClpP that prevent entry of large polypeptides in the absence of the ATPase subunits and ATP hydrolysis. Remarkably, removal of 10-17 residues from the mature N-terminus allows processive degradation of a large model unfolded substrate to short peptides without the ATPase subunit or ATP hydrolysis; removal of 14 residues is maximal for activation. Furthermore, since the product size distribution of Delta 14-ClpP is identical to ClpAP and ClpXP, the ATPases do not play an essential role in determining this distribution. Comparison of the structures of Delta 14-ClpP and Delta 17-ClpP with other published structures shows R15 and S16 are labile and that residue 17 can adopt a range of rotomers to ensure protection of a hydrophobic pocket formed by 119, R24 and F49 and maintain a hydrophilic character of the pore.

From the analysis of the quadrupolar satellites and their anisotropic splitting a largely temperature-independent symmetric quadrupole tensor is deduced, despite substantial variation in the electrical field gradients at the Cu site. The strongly temperature-dependent magnetic shifts and linewidths of the Cu-63 central line for different field orientations also reveal substantial spin shift variations in the material. Linear dependences on the doping of both, the quadruple splitting as well as the spin shifts, explain over a large temperature range all the widths with a local doping variation corresponding to 2 delta a parts per thousand 0.073.

The measured magnetic field dependence of the in-plane magnetic penetration lambda (ab) suggests superconductivity with a dominant d-wave order parameter. The comparison of the temperature dependence of lambda (ab) with calculations, assuming the angular gap symmetry as obtained from photoemission measurements, is consistent with a partial suppression of the quasi-particle weight towards the anti-nodal region of the Fermi surface. This suggests that the superconducting and the pseudogap state are dominated by different parts of the Fermi surface.

The Hall effect and the transverse magnetoresistance in this material do not appear to be uniquely correlated, as inferred from the field dependence of the current ratio (R-sigma = sigma(xy)/sigma(xy)/sigma(2)(xx) H). The Hall coefficient is seen to satisfy a scaling equation of the form R-H = f [H/(a + bT(c))]. These results are compared to those observed earlier in CeCoIn5, and are discussed in terms of the contrasting phase diagram which the CeIrIn5 system exhibits in relation to its Co counterpart.

Sensitive measurements of the Hall effect and magnetoresistance are used to elucidate the low-temperature phase diagram of this system. The normal-state magnetotransport is highly anomalous, and experimental signatures of a pseudogap-like precursor state to superconductivity, as well as evidence for two distinct scattering times governing the Hall effect and the MR, are observed. Our observations point out the influence of antiferromagnetic fluctuations on the magnetotransport in this class of materials. The implications of these findings, both in the context of unconventional superconductivity in heavy-fermion systems and in relation to the high-temperature superconducting cuprates, are discussed.

TI Effect of E85 on Tailpipe Emissions from Light-Duty Vehicles SO JOURNAL OF THE AIR & WASTE MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION LA English DT Article AB E85, which consists of nominally 85% fuel grade ethanol and 15% gasoline, must be used in flexible-fuel (or "flex-fuel") vehicles (FFVs) that can operate on fuel with an ethanol content of 0-85%. Published studies include measurements of the effect of E85 on tailpipe emissions for Tier 1 and older vehicles. Car manufacturers have also supplied a large body of FFV certification data to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, primarily on Tier 2 vehicles. These studies and certification data reveal wide variability in the effects of E85 on emissions from different vehicles. Comparing Tier 1 FFVs running on E85 to similar non-FFVs running on gasoline showed, on average, significant reductions in emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NO(x); 54%), non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHCs; 27%), and carbon monoxide (CO; 18%) for E85. Comparing Tier 2 FFVs running on E85 and comparable non-FFVs running on gasoline shows, for E85 on average, a significant reduction in emissions of CO (20%), and no significant effect on emissions of non-methane organic gases (NMOGs). NO(x) emissions from Tier 2 FFVs averaged approximately 28% less than comparable non-FFVs. However, perhaps because of the wide range of Tier 2 NO(x) standards, the absolute difference in NO, emissions between Tier 2 FFVs and non-FFVs is not significant (P=0.28). It is interesting that Tier 2 FFVs operating on gasoline produced approximately 13% less NMOGs than non-FFVs operating on gasoline. The data for Tier 1 vehicles show that E85 will cause significant reductions in emissions of benzene and butadiene, and significant increases in emissions of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde, in comparison to emissions from gasoline in both FFVs and non-FFVs. The compound that makes up the largest proportion of organic emissions from E85-fueled FFVs is ethanol.

TI Residual Stress Analysis of Multilayer Environmental Barrier Coatings SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CERAMIC SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID CELSIAN PHASE-TRANSFORMATION; TANTALUM OXIDE COATINGS; SIO2 SCALE VOLATILITY; MICROSTRUCTURAL EVOLUTION; SILICON-CARBIDE; WATER-VAPOR; CERAMICS; MULLITE; DURABILITY; OXIDATION AB Silicon-based ceramics (SiC, Si(3)N(4)) are promising materials systems for high-temperature structural applications in gas turbine engines. However, the silica layer that forms on these materials is susceptible to attack from water vapor present in combustion environments. To protect against this degradation, environmental barrier coatings (EBCs) have been developed to shield the underlying substrate and prevent degradation. Here we report on elastic and thermal properties, as well as internal stresses of candidate multilayer coatings, as measured in situ using microfocused high-energy X-rays in a transmission diffraction geometry. Doped aluminosilicate coatings were investigated for their stability on a SiC/SiC melt-infiltrated substrate. The coatings consisted of a Ba(1-x)Sr(x)Al(2)Si(2)O(8) topcoat with a mullite or mullite+SrAl(2)Si(2)O(8) interlayer, and a silicon bond coat. A numerical model was used to compare the stress results with an ideal coating system. Experiments were carried out on as-sprayed and heat-treated samples in order to analyze the strain and phase evolution as a function of multilayer depth and temperature. The phase transformation of the topcoat promoted healing of cracks in the EBC and reduced stresses in the underlying layers and the addition of SAS to the interlayer reduced stresses in thermally cycled coatings, but did not stop cracks from forming.

Ilavsky, Jan TI Process-Controlled Plasma-Sprayed Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia Coatings: New Insights from Ultrasmall-Angle X-ray Scattering SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CERAMIC SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID THERMAL BARRIER COATINGS; MICROSTRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION; NEUTRON-SCATTERING; ELASTIC PROPERTIES; PARTICLE-SIZE; DEPOSITS; CONDUCTIVITY; POROSITY; FEEDSTOCK; BEHAVIOR AB A multicomponent microstructure model is applied in ultrasmall-angle X-ray scattering studies of two groups of plasma-sprayed yttria-stabilized zirconia thermal barrier coatings (TBCs). One group was sprayed from a single powder feedstock using controlled processing conditions. The other group included three different feedstock morphologies (obtained from different manufacturing methods), each with a similar particle size distribution and sprayed under the same average controlled processing conditions. The microstructure is quantitatively related to the feedstock morphology and processing conditions. Relationships are explored among these microstructures and the coating properties (e.g., thermal conductivity, elastic modulus). The degree of microstructural anisotropy is demonstrated to be pore-size dependent, being more pronounced for larger pores, and more sensitive to feedstock morphology (powder processing) than to spray processing. The microstructure analysis indicates two broad distributions of interlamellar pores, which combined, account for 70%-80% of the pore volume. The total porosity is found to increase with decreasing particle temperature or velocity. For all coatings, a negative linear relationship exists between thermal conductivity and total porosity. Comparison of the new analysis is made with earlier small-angle neutron scattering results, and implications are considered for a more general application of this metrology in TBC microstructure design.

The base simulation was found to reproduce the observed mean boundary layer properties quite well. The diurnal cycle of liquid water path was also well captured, although good agreement appears to result partially from compensating errors in the diurnal cycles of cloud base and cloud top due to over-entrainment around midday. At all times of the day, entrainment is found to be proportional to the vertically integrated buoyancy flux. Model stratification matches observations well; turbulence profiles suggest that the boundary layer is always at least somewhat decoupled. Model drizzle appears to be too sensitive to liquid water path and subcloud evaporation appears to be too weak. Removing the diurnal cycle of subsidence had little effect on simulated liquid water path. Simulations with changed droplet concentration and drizzle susceptibility showed large liquid water path differences at night, but differences were quite small at midday. Droplet concentration also had a significant impact on entrainment, primarily through droplet sedimentation feedback rather than through drizzle processes.

Spectrophotometric and microcalorimetric titrations were performed to identify the Np(V)/sulfate complex and determine the equilibrium constants and enthalpy of complexation at 10-70A degrees C. Results show that the complexation of Np(V) with sulfate is weak but slightly enhanced by the increase in temperature. The complexation is endothermic and becomes more endothermic with the increase in temperature. The enhanced complexation at elevated temperatures is due to the increasingly larger entropy of complexation that exceeds the increase in enthalpy, indicating that the complexation of Np(V) with sulfate is entropy-driven.

Two successive complexes, NpO(2)F(aq) and NpO(2)F (2) (-) , were identified by spectrophotometry in the temperature range of 10-70A degrees C. Thermodynamic parameters, including the equilibrium constants and enthalpy of complexation between Np(V) and fluoride at 10-70A degrees C were determined. Results show that the complexation of Np(V) with fluoride is endothermic and that the complexation is enhanced by the increase in temperature - a two-fold increase in the stability constants of NpO(2)F(aq) and more than five-fold increase in the stability constants of NpO(2)F (2) (-) as the temperature is increased from 10 to 70A degrees C.

(2) Knock-down resistance indicated that colonies from an unshaded, warmer site had higher heat tolerance than colonies from a shaded, cooler site. This increased heat tolerance came at no apparent cost to cold tolerance, as ants from both habitats had similar chill-coma recovery times. (3) These results show a marked physiological response to localized anthropogenic habitat alterations. (4) Quantifying the adaptability of thermal tolerance could be important in understanding the ubiquity of fire ants in the southeastern United States. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

TI Ambush site selection and ontogenetic shifts in foraging strategy in a semi-aquatic pit viper, the Eastern cottonmouth SO JOURNAL OF ZOOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Agkistrodon piscivorus; habitat selection; ontogeny; diet; snake; juvenile ID SYMPATRIC SNAKE POPULATIONS; JERSEY PINE-BARRENS; AGKISTRODON-PISCIVORUS; HABITAT USE; CROTALUS-HORRIDUS; WATER SNAKES; PITUOPHIS-MELANOLEUCUS; WETLAND CONSERVATION; GLOYDIUS-SHEDAOENSIS; LOUISIANA SWAMP AB Although habitat selection has been studied in a variety of snake taxa, little is known about habitat selection in aquatic snake species. Additionally, due to their small size and secretive nature, juvenile snakes are seldom included in habitat selection studies. The Eastern cottonmouth Agkistrodon piscivorus is a semi-aquatic pit viper known to use ambush, sit-and-wait foraging strategies. Ambush hunters are likely to select habitats that increase opportunity for successful prey capture while minimizing predation risk and maintaining appropriate thermal and hydric conditions. We characterized the foraging strategy and microhabitat use of cottonmouths at Ellenton Bay, an isolated Carolina bay freshwater wetland on the Savannah River Site in SC, USA. We measured habitat characteristics of 55 ambush sites used by 51 individual cottonmouths located during nighttime visual surveys, as well as 225 randomly selected sites within our search area. Cottonmouths exhibited an ontogenetic shift in foraging strategy with juveniles using predominately ambush foraging around the edge of the wetland while adults were most often encountered actively moving within the wetland. Principal components analysis revealed that juveniles selected foraging microhabitats that were different from random and consisted of mud substrate with sparse vegetation, whereas adults occupied a greater variety of microhabitats that did not differ from random. Concomitantly, free-ranging cottonmouths exhibited ontogenetic shifts in diet: juveniles consumed mostly salamanders, while adults ate a greater variety of prey including other snakes and birds. Our results highlight the importance of understanding how ontogenetic changes in coloration, diet and predation risk influence foraging strategy and microhabitat selection in snakes. C1 [Eskew, E.

Recent years have seen growing support for the idea that two cell fates-apoptosis and cellular senescence, both now well-established tumor suppressor mechanisms-may be important drivers of aging phenotypes and age-related disease. However, there remain many unanswered questions, some quite basic, about how these processes change with age and how they might contribute to aging. It is now clear that failures in apoptosis or senescence can result in hyperproliferative diseases such as cancer. Less is known about whether and how increased apoptosis or senescence can cause tissue degeneration and aging. In addition, there is now a growing recognition that cellular senescence can have cell-nonautonomous effects within tissues. New molecular tools and model organisms, some already on the horizon, will need to be developed to better understand the roles of apoptosis and cellular senescence in age-associated changes in proliferative homeostasis.

An increasing body of cellular and molecular data, generated over the past decade or so, has generally supported this "damage accumulation" hypothesis of aging. There remain unanswered questions regarding which types of damage are most important for driving aging. In addition, there have been recent challenges to the damage accumulation hypothesis and a new emphasis on the importance of cellular responses and the sequelae to damage, rather damage per se. New tools and approaches are on the horizon and will need to be developed and implemented before we can fully understand whether and to what extent macromolecular damage drives aging phenotypes.

Although background subtraction has been the subject of much research, it is typically treated as a stand-alone process, dissociated from the subsequent phases of object recognition and tracking. This paper presents a method for decreasing computational cost in visual tracking systems by using track state estimates to direct and constrain image segmentation via background subtraction and connected components analysis.

An initial experiment using only cadmium showed that ingestion of pellets varied in individual fish, and estimates of cadmium dose from the numbers of ingested pellets indicated considerable individual variability in cadmium dose. Induction of intestinal metallothionein mRNA was apparent, however, and a linear dose-response relationship was observed for metallothionein expression and cadmium dose in the intestine, but not the other organs, which showed no induction. In a second experiment, the entire daily cadmium dose was provided in a single contaminated pellet that was consumed by all treated fish, effectively eliminating the effect of variable ingestion rates on dose, and the interaction between cadmium and benzo(a)pyrene was also investigated. The intestine was again the primary organ for metallothionein induction by cadmium. When benzo(a)pyrene was administered together with cadmium, induction of metallothionein was potentiated by the presence of benzo(a)pyrene, with the main effect seen in the intestine, where already high levels of induction by cadmium alone increased by 1.74-fold when benzo(a)pyrene was present.

TI Diagnostics for liquid dispersion due to a high-speed impact with accident or vulnerability assessment application SO MEASUREMENT SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article DE impact; dispersion; vulnerability assessment; diagnostics ID DROP; BREAKUP; VELOCITY; SIZE; ATOMIZATION; AIRSTREAM; HISTORY; SURFACE; JET AB The high-speed impact and subsequent dispersion of a large liquid slug is of interest for assessing vulnerability of structures when subjected to such an event. The Weber number associated with such liquid impacts is generally between 10(5) and 10(8). Because of the experiment scale and destructive nature of these high-energy impacts, most traditional diagnostics are difficult to implement. Therefore, unique diagnostics were employed in several tests to gather information on impact force, spreading instability, slug break-up, ejection velocity, droplet deformation and spray characteristics. Measurement techniques discussed here include high-speed photometrics, particle image velocimetry (PIV), TrackEye particle analysis, speckle correlation, single-pass schlieren imaging, phase Doppler particle analyzer ( PDPA) and load cell measurements as applied to large-scale, high-speed liquid impacts.

The time-over-threshold (TOT), i.e. signal width, is used for the time correction instead of the signal amplitude. Corresponding changes and implementation in the calibration method are discussed in detail. TOF data collected in RHIC 200 GeV Cu+Cu collisions are analyzed to test the performance of the detector. The time resolution is similar to 75 ps and it is consistent with the results in earlier RHIC runs.

TI Bacterial Communities Associated with the Digestive Tract of the Predatory Ground Beetle, Poecilus chalcites, and Their Modification by Laboratory Rearing and Antibiotic Treatment SO MICROBIAL ECOLOGY LA English DT Article ID 16S RIBOSOMAL-RNA; WEED SEED PREDATORS; MICROBIAL DIVERSITY; DWELLING ARTHROPODS; INTESTINAL-TRACT; COLEOPTERA; CARABIDAE; SEQUENCES; MIDGUT; GUT AB Ground beetles such as Poecilus chalcites (Coleoptera: Carabidae) are beneficial insects in agricultural systems where they contribute to the control of insect and weed pests. We assessed the complexity of bacterial communities occurring in the digestive tracts of field-collected P. chalcites using terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism analyses of polymerase chain reaction-amplified 16S rRNA genes. Bacterial identification was performed by the construction of 16S rRNA gene clone libraries and sequence analysis. Intestinal bacteria in field-collected beetles were then compared to those from groups of beetles that were reared in the lab on an artificial diet with and without antibiotics. Direct cell counts estimated 1.5 x 10(8) bacteria per milliliter of gut. The digestive tract of field-collected P. chalcites produced an average of 4.8 terminal restriction fragments (tRF) for each beetle. The most abundant clones were affiliated with the genus Lactobacillus, followed by the taxa Enterobacteriaceae, Clostridia, and Bacteriodetes. The majority of the sequences recovered were closely related to those reported from other insect gastrointestinal tracts. Lab-reared beetles produced fewer tRF, an average of 3.1 per beetle, and a reduced number of taxa with a higher number of clones from the family Enterobacteriaceae compared to the field-collected beetles. Antibiotic treatment significantly (p < 0.05) reduced the number of tRF per beetle and selected for a less diverse set of bacterial taxa. We conclude that the digestive tract of P. chalcites is colonized by a simple community of bacteria that possess autochthonous characteristics. Laboratory-reared beetles harbored the most common bacteria found in field-collected beetles, and these bacterial communities may be manipulated in the laboratory with the addition of antibiotics to the diet to allow study of functional roles.

Here, we report an electron spin resonance (ESR) study of Cr(III) hydroxide formation from Cr(V)-diols by this bacterial strain as cells were exposed to 35, 200, and 400 mg/L of Cr(VI) under aerobic conditions as a batch culture and as lyophilized cells. The time-dependent ESR measurements show that the half-time of Cr(III) formation is almost equal to that of Cr(V) decomposition, which is in the range of 3-6 days for all cases. This rate is at least 300 times slower than that of Cr(V) formation. Additionally, atomic absorption spectrometry was also employed to examine the time course of total chromium in bacterial cells. This is the first time the kinetics of Cr(III) complexes formation in bacteria is evaluated.

SSZ-56 is synthesized under hydrothermal conditions using the trans-fused ring isomer of N,N-diethyl-2-methyldecahydroquinolinium as a structure directing agent. The synthesis of SSZ-56 is sensitive to the isomeric purity of the structure-directing agent. The structure of SSZ-56 was determined from powder diffraction data with the FOCUS Fourier recycling method using peak intensities extracted with the fast iterative Patterson squaring (FIPS) method. SSZ-56 possesses a relatively complex structure with 14 tetrahedral atoms in the asymmetric unit of its topological symmetry. Rietveld refinement of synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data in space group P2(1)/m (a = 13.9483 (2), b = 19.8958 (1), c = 12.3613 (1)angstrom, beta = 106.68 degrees) confirms the proposed model. SSZ-56 possesses a 12-ring channel system that is intersected by a 10-ring channel system. The two-dimensional projection along the b-axis is similar to the projection along the pores of zeolite beta (polymorph B), and the two-dimensional projection along the c-axis is similar to the projections along the straight 10-ring channels of zeolite ZSM-5.

The enzyme was identified based on its high sequence identity with mammalian KAT I, but its activity toward kynurenine and its structural characteristics have not been established. In this study, the biochemical and structural properties of mouse KAT III (mKAT III) were determined. Specifically, mKAT III cDNA was amplified from a mouse brain cDNA library, and its recombinant protein was expressed in an insect cell protein expression system. We established that mKAT III is able to efficiently catalyze the transamination of kynurenine to KYNA and has optimum activity at relatively basic conditions of around pH 9.0 and at relatively high temperatures of 50 to 60 C. In addition, mKAT III is active toward a number of other amino acids. Its activity toward kynurenine is significantly decreased in the presence of methionine, histidine, glutamine, leucine, cysteine, and 3-hydroxykynurenine. Through macromolecular crystallography, we determined the mKAT III crystal structure and its structures in complex with kynurenine and glutamine. Structural analysis revealed the overall architecture of mKAT III and its cofactor binding site and active center residues. This is the first report concerning the biochemical characteristics and crystal structures of KAT III enzymes and provides a basis toward understanding the overall physiological role of mammalian KAT III in vivo and insight into regulating the levels of endogenous KYNA through modulation of the enzyme in the mouse brain.

TI Yin Yang 1 Modulates Taxane Response in Epithelial Ovarian Cancer SO MOLECULAR CANCER RESEARCH LA English DT Article ID TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR YY1; ZINC-FINGER PROTEIN; GENE-EXPRESSION; DNA-REPLICATION; PATTERNS; DATABASE; BINDS; E2F; PACLITAXEL; SIGNATURES AB Survival of ovarian cancer patients is largely dictated by their response to chemotherapy, which depends on underlying molecular features of the malignancy. We previously identified YIN YANG 1 (YY1) as a gene whose expression is positively correlated with ovarian cancer survival. Herein, we investigated the mechanistic basis of this association. Epigenetic and genetic characteristics of YY1 in serous epithelial ovarian cancer were analyzed along with YY1 mRNA and protein. Patterns of gene expression in primary serous epithelial ovarian cancer and in the NC160 database were investigated using computational methods. YY1 function and modulation of chemotherapeutic response in vitro was studied using small interfering RNA knockdown. Microarray analysis showed strong positive correlation between expression of YY1 and genes with YY1 and transcription factor E2F binding motifs in ovarian cancer and in the NC160 cancer cell lines. Clustering of microarray data for these genes revealed that high YY1/E(2)F(3) activity positively correlates with survival of patients treated with the microtubule-stabilizing drug paclitaxel. Increased sensitivity to taxanes, but not to DNA cross-linking platinum agents, was also characteristic of NC160 cancer cell lines with a high YY1/E2F signature. YY1 knockdown in ovarian cancer cell lines results in inhibition of anchorage-independent growth, motility, and proliferation but also increases resistance to taxanes, with no effect on cisplatin sensitivity. These results, together with the prior demonstration of augmentation of microtubule-related genes by E2F3, suggest that enhanced taxane sensitivity in tumors with high YY1/E2F activity may be mediated by modulation of putative target genes with microtubule function.

TI A kinetic approach to cosmic-ray-induced streaming instability at supernova shocks SO MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article DE acceleration of particles; shock waves ID MAGNETIC TURBULENCE; ACCELERATION; AMPLIFICATION; REMNANTS; WAVES; FIELDS AB We show that a purely kinetic approach to the excitation of waves by cosmic rays in the vicinity of a shock front leads to predict the appearance of a non-Alfvenic fast-growing mode which has the same dispersion relation as that previously found by Bell in 2004 by treating the plasma in the magnetohydrodynamic approximation. The kinetic approach allows us to investigate the dependence of the dispersion relation of these waves on the microphysics of the current which compensates the cosmic ray flow. We also show that a resonant and a non-resonant mode may appear at the same time and one of the two may become dominant on the other depending on the conditions in the acceleration region. We discuss the role of the unstable modes for magnetic field amplification and particle acceleration in supernova remnants at different stages of the remnant evolution.

TI Nonlinear Advection Algorithms Applied to Interrelated Tracers: Errors and Implications for Modeling Aerosol-Cloud Interactions SO MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW LA English DT Article ID NUMERICAL ADVECTION; TRANSPORT; MOMENTS; SCHEME AB Monotonicity constraints and gradient-preserving flux corrections employed by many advection algorithms used in atmospheric models make these algorithms nonlinear. Consequently, any relations among model variables transported separately are not necessarily preserved in such models. These errors cannot be revealed by traditional algorithm testing based on advection of a single tracer. New types of tests are developed and conducted to evaluate the monotonicity of a sum of several number mixing ratios advected independently of each other-as is the case, for example, in models using bin or sectional representations of aerosol or cloud particle size distributions. The tests show that when three tracers with an initially constant sum are advected separately in one-dimensional constant velocity flow, local errors in their sum can be on the order of 10%. When cloudlike interactions are allowed among the tracers in the idealized "cloud base'' test, errors in the sum of three mixing ratios can reach 30%. Several approaches to eliminate the error are suggested, all based on advecting the sum as a separate variable and then using it to normalize the sum of the individual tracers' mixing ratios or fluxes. A simple scalar normalization ensures the monotonicity of the total number mixing ratio and positive definiteness of the variables, but the monotonicity of individual tracers is no longer maintained. More involved flux normalization procedures are developed for the flux-based advection algorithms to maintain the monotonicity for individual scalars and their sum.

A new approach to ensure specific adsorption of DNA to the nanotubes was developed. The polymer poly (methylmethacrylate(0.6)-co-poly(ethyleneglycol)methacrylate(0.15)-co-N-succinimidyl methacrylate(0.25)) was synthesized and bonded noncovalently to the nanotube. Aminated single-strand DNA was then attached covalently to the polymer. After hybridization, statistically significant changes were observed in key transistor parameters. Hybridized DNA traps both electrons and holes, possibly caused by the charge-trapping nature of the base pairs.

The efficacy of boiling heat transfer is characterized by two parameters: (a) heat transfer coefficient (HTC) or the thermal conductance; (b) the critical heat flux (CHF) limit that demarcates the transition from high HTC to very low HTC. While increasing the CHF and the HTC has significant impact on system-level energy efficiency, safety, and cost, their values for water and other heat transfer fluids have essentially remained unchanged for many decades. Here we report that the high surface tension forces offered by liquids in nanowire arrays made of Si and Cu can be exploited to increase both the CHF and the HTC by more than 100%.

Si wafers enabled by the molecular monolayer doping of phosphorus and boron atoms and the use of conventional spike annealing. The junctions are characterized by secondary ion mass spectrometry and noncontact sheet resistance measurements. It is found that the majority (similar to 70%) of the incorporated dopants are electrically active, therefore enabling a low sheet resistance for a given dopant areal dose. The wafer-scale uniformity is investigated and found to be limited by the temperature homogeneity of the spike anneal tool used in the experiments. Notably, minimal junction leakage currents (<1 mu A/cm(2)) are observed that highlights the quality of the junctions formed by this process. The results clearly demonstrate the versatility and potency of the monolayer doping approach for enabling controlled, molecular-scale ultrashallow junction formation without introducing defects in the semiconductor.

Noy, Aleksandr TI Mechanism and Kinetics of Growth Termination in Controlled Chemical Vapor Deposition Growth of Multiwall Carbon Nanotube Arrays SO NANO LETTERS LA English DT Article ID PARTICLES; CATALYSTS AB We have investigated growth kinetics of multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) arrays produced by catalytic thermal decomposition of ethylene gas in hydrogen, water, and argon mixture. The MWCNT growth rate exhibits a nonmonotonic dependence on total pressure and reaches a maximum at similar to 750 Torr of total pressure. Water concentrations in excess of 3000 ppm lead to the decrease in the observed growth rate. Optimal pressure and water concentration combination results in a reliable growth of well-aligned MWCNT arrays at a maximum growth rate of similar to 30 mu m/min. These MWCNT arrays can reach heights of up to 1 mm with typical standard deviations for the array height of less than 8% over a large number of process runs spread over the time of 8 months. Nanotube growth rate in this optimal growth region remains essentially constant until growth reaches an abrupt and irreversible termination. We present a quantitative model that shows how accumulation of the amorphous carbon patches at the catalyst particle surface and the carbon diffusion to the growing nanotube perimeter causes this abrupt growth cessation. The influence of the partial pressures of ethylene and hydrogen on the ethylene decomposition driving force explains the nonlinear behavior of the growth rate as a function of total process pressure.

Because of the small pore size and electrical conductivity of the host material, it is challenging to employ electrochemical approaches to fill the entire pore network. Typically, during the electrochemical deposition process, the guest material blocks the pores of the host, precluding complete pore filling. We describe a general synthetic strategy for spatially controlling the growth of p-type semiconductors in the nanopores of electrically conducting n-type materials. As an illustration of this strategy, we report on the facile electrochemical deposition of p-CulnSe(2) in nanoporous anatase n-TiO2 oriented nanotube arrays and nanoparticle films. We show that by controlling the ambipolar diffusion length the p-type semiconductors can be deposited from the bottom-up, resulting in complete pore filling.

TI Variations in the Quantum Efficiency of Multiple Exciton Generation for a Series of Chemically Treated PbSe Nanocrystal Films SO NANO LETTERS LA English DT Article ID CARRIER MULTIPLICATION; SEMICONDUCTOR NANOCRYSTALS; SOLAR-CELLS; ELECTRICAL-PROPERTIES; DOTS; ENERGY; PHOTOCONDUCTIVITY; SPECTROSCOPY; CONVERSION; SOLIDS AB We study multiple exciton generation (MEG) in two series of chemically treated PbSe nanocrystal (NC) films. We find that the average number of excitons produced per absorbed photon varies between 1.0 and 2.4 (+/- 0.2) at a photon energy of similar to 4E(g) for films consisting of 3.7 nm NCs and between 1.1 and 1.6 (+/- 0.1) at by similar to 5E(g) for films consisting of 7.4 nm NCs. The variations in MEG depend upon the chemical treatment used to electronically couple the NCs in each film. The single and multiexciton lifetimes also change with the chemical treatment: biexciton lifetimes increase with stronger inter-NC electronic coupling and exciton delocalization, while single exciton lifetimes decrease after most treatments relative to the same NCs in solution. Single exciton lifetimes are particularly affected by surface treatments that dope the films n-type, which we tentatively attribute to an Auger recombination process between a single exciton and an electron produced by ionization of the dopant donor. These results imply that a better understanding of the effects of surface chemistry on film doping, NC carrier dynamics, and inter-NC interactions is necessary to build solar energy conversion devices that can harvest the multiple carriers produced by MEG. Our results show that the MEG efficiency is very sensitive to the condition of the NC surface and suggest that the wide range of MEG efficiencies reported in the recent literature may be a result of uncontrolled differences in NC surface chemistry.

We have genetically engineered M13 bacteriophage (phage), naturally occurring nanofiber-like viruses, to display a high density of cell-signaling peptides on their major coat proteins. Structural orientation of these phage building blocks can be achieved due to their long-rod shape and monodispersity, which lead them to self-assemble into directionally organized liquid crystalline-like materials. We showed that the constructed viral nanofiber scaffolds were able to support neural progenitor cell proliferation and differentiation as well as direct orientation of their growth in three dimensions. Such functionalized and structurally aligned phage matrices offer promising opportunities for therapies that address challenging medical problems, such as nerve tissue regeneration after spinal cord injuries, or as in vitro model systems for studying complicated cell signaling environments.

The organic capping agents stabilizing colloidal nanoparticles, however, often limit their application in high-temperature catalytic reactions. Here, we report the design of a high-temperature-stable model catalytic system that consists of a Pt metal core coated with a mesoporous silica shell (Pt@mSiO(2)). Inorganic silica shells encaged the Pt cores up to 750 degrees C in air and the mesopores providing direct access to the Pt core made the Pt@mSiO(2) nanoparticles as catalytically active as bare Pt metal for ethylene hydrogenation and CO oxidation. The high thermal stability of Pt@mSiO(2) nanoparticles enabled high-temperature CO oxidation studies, including ignition behaviour, which was not possible for bare Pt nanoparticles because of their deformation or aggregation. The results suggest that the Pt@mSiO(2) nanoparticles are excellent nanocatalytic systems for high-temperature catalytic reactions or surface chemical processes, and the design concept used in the Pt@mSiO(2) core-shell catalyst can be extended to other metal/metal oxide compositions.

Despite persistent efforts, theoretical ideas for the pseudogap evolve around fluctuating superconductivity(2), competing order(3-8) and spectral weight suppression due to many-body effects(9). Recently, although some experiments in the superconducting state indicate a distinction between the superconducting gap and pseudogap(10-14), others in the normal state, either by extrapolation from high-temperature data(15) or directly from La1:875Ba0:125CuO4 (LBCO-1/8) at low temperature(16), suggest the ground-state pseudogap is a single gap of d-wave(17) form. Here, we report angle-resolved photoemission data from LBCO-1=8, collected with improved experimental conditions, that reveal the ground-state pseudogap has a pronounced deviation from the simple d-wave form. It contains two distinct components: a d-wave component within an extended region around the node and the other abruptly enhanced close to the antinode, pointing to a dual nature of the pseudogap in this failed high-T-c superconductor that involves a possible precursor-pairing energy scale around the node and another of different but unknown origin near the antinode.

Chicken MBP contains four charge components denoted as C1, C2, C3 and C8. (The C8 isomer is a complex mixture and was not investigated in this study.) These findings are in contrast to those found for human, bovine and other mammalian MBP's. Mammalian MBP's, each of which contain seven or eight charge components depending on the analysis of the CM-52 chromatographic curves and the PAGE gels obtained under basic pH conditions. Chicken MBP components C1, C2 and C3 were treated with trypsin and endoproteinase Glu-C. The resulting digests were analyzed by capillary liquid chromatography combined with either an ion trap tandem mass spectrometer or with a Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer. This instrumentation permitted establishing the amino acid composition and the determination of the post-translational modifications for each of the three charge components C1-C3. With the exception of N-terminal acetylation, the post-translational modifications were partial. The C1 component lacks any phosphorylated sites, a finding in agreement with the analysis of other MBP species. It also had a single methylation at R105 as did the components C2 and C3. The C2 component contains ten phosphorylated sites (S7, S18, S33, S64, S73, T96, S113, S141, S164, and S168), and modified arginine to citrulline residues at R24, and R165. Component C3 contains eight phosphorylated sites (S7, S33, S64, T96, S113, S141, S164, and S168), and citrulline residues at Arginine 41, R24 and R165. Partial deamidation of glutamine residues Q71, Q101 and Q146 were present in addition to asparagine N90 that was found in all three charge components. The glutamine at residue 3 is partially deamidated in isomers C1 and C2, whereas glutamine 74 and asparagine 83 were found not to be deamidated. Comparison of the PTM's of MBP's isolated from several vertebrate species reveals marked differences in their phosphate content. Chicken MBP does not share any phosphorylated sites with dogfish MBP; However, it does contain phosphorylated serine and threonine residues in common with mammalian MBP.

Special attention is paid to relating thermo-mechanical and chemical properties of the fuel to reactor parameters. By inserting atomistic models of point defects into continuum thermo-chemical calculations, a model of oxygen diffusivity in UO2+x is developed and used to predict point defect concentrations, oxygen diffusivity, and fuel stoichiometry at various temperatures and oxygen pressures. The simulations of coupled heat transfer and species diffusion demonstrate that including the dependence of thermal conductivity and density on composition can lead to changes ill the calculated centerline temperature and thermal expansion displacements that exceed 5%. A review of advanced nuclear fuel performance codes reveals that the many codes are too dedicated to specific fuel forms and make excessive Use of empirical correlations in describing properties of materials. The paper ends with a review of international collaborations and a list of lessons learned that includes the importance of education in creating a large pool of experts to cover all necessary theoretical, experimental, and computational tasks.

Fusion 40 557) is presented. The fastest current quenches are fit better by a linear waveform than an exponential one. Area-normalized current quench times down to 0.4 ms m(-2) have been observed, compared with the minimum of the 1.7 ms m(-2) recommendation based on conventional aspect ratio tokamaks; as noted in previous ITPA studies, the difference can be explained by the reduced self-inductance at low aspect ratio and high elongation. The maximum instantaneous dI(P)/dt is often many times larger than the mean quench rate, and the plasma current before the disruption is often substantially less than the flat-top value. The poloidal field time derivative during the disruption, which is directly responsible for driving eddy currents, has been recorded at various locations around the vessel. The I(P) quench rate, plasma motion and magnetic geometry all play important roles in determining the rate of poloidal field change. C1 [Gerhardt, S. P.; Menard, J.

Along with the drops in l(i) and the core rotation velocity, there is peaking of the electron and impurity density profiles, as well as of the ion and electron temperature profiles. The mechanism generating the counter-current rotation is unknown, but it is consistent in sign with an inward shift of energetic electron orbits, giving rise to a negative core radial electric field. The peaking in the density, toroidal rotation (in the counter-current direction) and temperature profiles occurs over a time scale similar to the current relaxation time but slow compared with the energy and momentum confinement times. Most of these discharges exhibit sawtooth oscillations throughout, with the inversion radius shifting inward during the LHCD and profile evolution. The magnitudes of the changes in the internal inductance and the central rotation velocity are strongly correlated and found to increase with increasing LHCD power and decreasing electron density. The maximum effect is obtained with a waveguide phasing of 60 degrees (a launched parallel index of refraction n(parallel to) similar to 1.5), with a significantly smaller magnitude at 120 degrees (n(parallel to) similar to 3.1), and with no effect for negative or heating (180 degrees) phasing. Regardless of the plasma parameters and launched n(parallel to) of the waves, there is a strong correlation between the rotation velocity and l(i) changes, possibly providing a clue for the underlying mechanism.

Extending the duration of magnetic helicity injection during the formation of a spheromak and optimizing the ratio of injected current to bias flux produce higher magnetic field plasmas with record spheromak electron temperatures. To explore magnetic field buildup efficiency limits, the confinement region geometry was varied resulting in improved field buildup efficiencies. C1 [Wood, R. D.; Hill, D. N.; McLean, H.

Proposed sources are based around either high voltage DC or microwave RF guns, each with its particular set of technological limits and system complications. We propose an approach for a gun fully based on mature RF and mechanical technology that greatly diminishes many of such complications. The concepts for Such a Source as well as the present RF and mechanical design are described. Simulations that demonstrate the beam quality preservation and transport capability of an injector scheme based on such a gun are also presented. published by Elsevier B.V.

TI A magneto-gravitational trap for absolute measurement of the ultra-cold neutron lifetime SO NUCLEAR INSTRUMENTS & METHODS IN PHYSICS RESEARCH SECTION A-ACCELERATORS SPECTROMETERS DETECTORS AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT LA English DT Article DE Measurement of neutron lifetime; Ultra-cold neutrons; Magneto-gravitational trap; Depolarization ID POLARIZED NEUTRONS; BETA-ASYMMETRY; MAGNETIC TRAP; DECAY; STORAGE; PHYSICS AB We present a conceptual design for an experiment to measure the neutron lifetime with a relative accuracy of 10(-4). The measurement will be performed by observing the decay rate of a sample of ultracold neutrons (UCN) confined in Vacuum in a magneto-gravitational trap. The UCN sources under development are expected to produce stored UCN densities of the order of 10cm(-3). Such densities make possible determination of the neutron lifetime with an improved level of accuracy using novel neutron traps. The measurement involves no fundamentally new technologies beyond the UCN Source. We discuss the trap design and methodology for the measurement. The slow loss of neutrons in the trap Volume that have stable Orbits, but are not energetically trapped, Would produce a systematic uncertainty in the measurement. This is a potential systematic source of error in lifetime measurements with earlier magnetic and magneto-gravitational traps. We discuss our approach to eliminating this problem by a combination of trap asymmetry and field ripple to induce chaotic behavior in the orbits of neutrons with enough energy to escape the trap.

TI Synthesis and PET studies of [C-11-cyano]letrozole (Femara), an aromatase inhibitor drug SO NUCLEAR MEDICINE AND BIOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Letrozole (Femara); PET; Carbon-11 (C-11; C-11); Aromatase ID POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN; BREAST-CANCER; LETROZOLE; CYANIDE; BIOAVAILABILITY; RECEPTOR; BRAIN AB Introduction: Aromatase, a member of the cytochrome P450 family, converts androgens such as androstenedione and testosterone into estrone and estradiol, respectively. Letrozole (1-[bis-(4-cyanophenyl)methyl]-1H-1,2,4-triazole; Femara) is a high-affinity aromatase inhibitor (K-i = 11.5 nM) that has Food and Drug Administration approval for breast cancer treatment. Here we report the synthesis of carbon-11-labeled letrozole and its assessment as a radiotracer for brain aromatase in the baboon. Methods: Letrozole and its precursor (4-[(4-bromophenyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl]benzonitrile) were prepared in a two-step synthesis from 4-cyanobenzyl bromide and 4-bromobenzyl bromide, respectively. The [C-11]cyano group was introduced via tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0)-catalyzed coupling of [C-11]cyanide with the bromo precursor. Positron emission tomography (PET) studies in the baboon brain were carried out to assess regional distribution and kinetics, reproducibility of repeated measures and saturability. Log D, the free fraction of letrozole in plasma and the [C-11-cyano]letrozole fraction in arterial plasma were also measured. Results: [C-11-cyano]Letrozole was synthesized in 60 min with a radiochemical yield of 79-80%, with a radiochemical purity greater than 98% and a specific activity of 4.16 +/- 2.21 Ci/mu mol at the end of bombardment (n=4). PET studies in the baboon revealed initial rapid and high uptake and initial rapid clearance, followed by slow clearance of carbon-11 from the brain, with no difference between brain regions. Brain kinetics was not affected by coinjection of unlabeled letrozole (0.1 mg/kg). The free fraction of letrozole in plasma was 48.9%, and log D was 1.84. Conclusion: [C-11-cyano]Letrozole is readily synthesized via a palladium-catalyzed coupling reaction with [C-11]cyanide. Although it is unsuitable as a PET radiotracer for brain aromatase, as revealed by the absence of regional specificity and saturability in brain regions such as amygdala, which are known to contain aromatase, it may be useful in measuring letrozole distribution and pharmacokinetics in the brain and peripheral organs.

Particles produced from the decay of classical fields in the Glasma obey a Boltzmann equation whose novel features include an inhomogeneous Source term and new contributions to the collision term. We discuss the power Counting associated with the different terms in the Boltzmann equation and outline the transition from the field dominated regime to the particle dominated regime in high energy heavy ion collisions.

Compared with previous evaluations, the energy range for this resonance analysis was extended from 10 to 20 keV, taking advantage of the high resolution of the most recent ORELA transmission measurements. The experimental database and the method of analysis are described in this paper. The neutron transmissions and the capture cross sections calculated with the resonance parameters are compared with the experimental data. A description is given of the statistical properties of the resonance parameters and of the recommended values of the average parameters. The new evaluation results in a slight decrease of the effective capture resonance integral and improves the prediction of integral thermal benchmarks by 70 to 200 pcm. C1 [Derrien, H.; Leal, L.

TI Coupled Space-Angle Adaptivity for Radiation Transport Calculations SO NUCLEAR SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING LA English DT Article ID FINITE-ELEMENT-METHOD; NEUTRON-TRANSPORT AB This paper describes the development of a coupled space-angle a posteriori error analysis and adaptive method for radiation transport calculations based on the second-order, even-parity form of the transport equation discretized by a variational finite element-spherical harmonics method (FE-P(N)). Rigorous a posteriori error estimates for the global L(2) norm in the even-parity angular flux are derived by utilizing duality arguments. Separate error components for the spatial and angular discretizations are obtained by the adaptive algorithm by first seeking convergence in the spatial variable and then by projecting the spatially converged solution onto the higher-order P(N) equation to estimate the angular truncation error. The validity of the developed coupled space-angle adaptive refinement strategy is assessed by comparing the developed error indicator with the true error for representative problems in one and two dimensions. The method of manufactured solutions and alternative transport solution methods are used to provide the true error. Comparisons indicate that the space-angle adaptivity framework is capable of guiding the FE-PN method toward the true solution. C1 [Park, HyeongKae] Idaho Natl Lab, Idaho Falls, ID 83415 USA.

Such derivatives can be obtained with automatic differentiation. However, one has to be concerned with the complexity Of computing higher-order derivative tensors even for a modest order and number of independents. Initial experiments using univariate Taylor polynomials with interpolation and operator overloading with unrolled loops showed better runtimes than using other automatic differentiation tools. Motivated by these results, we developed the Rapsodia code generator that produces Fortran and C++ libraries for the most common intrinsics. Here we explain the algorithmic approach, implementation. and present test results on a select set of applications.

This work was motivated by the need to compute cost function gradients for dynamically constrained optimization for robustness, i.e. the problem of finding the model parameters of a given dynamical system that lead to minimum solution sensitivity. The proposed approach for this particular second-order sensitivity problem falls into the class of the so-called 'adjoint-over-forward' methods and is based on solving the continuous forward sensitivity equations (for evaluating the cost functional) and their continuous adjoint systems (for evaluation of the gradient of file Cost functional). Efficiency is ensured by: (i) a suitable distribution over processors of the individual sensitivity systems. both forward and adjoint so that inter-process communication is minimized; and (ii) use of an iterative solver combined with a block-diagonal preconditioner for the solution of the linear systems arising in the implicit integration of the resulting ordinary differential equations (ODE) systems. The proposed algorithm was implemented as an extension of the CVODES solver in SUNDIALS [P. Brown, K. Grant, A. Hindmarsh, S. Lee, R.S.D. Shumaker, and C. Woodward. SUNDIALS: SUite of Nonlinear and Differential/ALgebraic equation Solvers. ACM Trans. Math. Software, 31(3) (2005), pp. 363-396]. but it can be used in conjunction with any sensitivity-enabled ODE integrator that provides adjoint sensitivity capabilities and (if based on implicit integration methods) support for iterative linear algebra.

TI Routing scalability in multi-domain DWDM networks SO PHOTONIC NETWORK COMMUNICATIONS LA English DT Article DE Multi-domain networks; Optical networks; GMPLS; Inter-domain DWDM routing; Topology abstraction; Full wavelength conversion AB This paper studies routing scalability in multi-domain DWDM networks. Although inter-domain provisioning has been well studied for packet/cell-switching networks, the wavelength dimension (along with wavelength conversion) poses many challenges in multi-domain DWDM settings. To address these concerns a detailed GMPLS-based hierarchical routing framework is proposed for multi-domain DWDM networks with wavelength conversion. This solution uses mesh topology abstraction schemes to hide domain-internal state. However related inter-domain routing loads can be significant here, growing by the square of the number of border nodes. To address these scalability limitations, improved inter-domain routing update strategies are also proposed and the associated performance of inter-domain lightpath RWA and signaling schemes studied.

TI Comment on "Anomalies in electrostatic calibrations for the measurement of the Casimir force in a sphere-plane geometry" SO PHYSICAL REVIEW A LA English DT Letter DE Casimir effect; electric fields; electric potential; lenses; plates (structures); quantum electrodynamics ID MU-M; CONSTRAINTS; RANGE AB Recently Kim [Phys. Rev. A 78, 020101(R) (2008)] performed electrostatic calibrations for a plane plate above a centimeter-size spherical lens at separations down to 20-30 nm and observed "anomalous behavior." It was found that the gradient of the electrostatic force does not depend on separation as predicted on the basis of a pure Coulomb contribution. Some hypotheses which could potentially explain the deviation from the expected behavior were considered, and qualitative arguments in favor of the influence of patch surface potentials were presented. We demonstrate that for the large lenses at separations of a few tens of nanometers from the plate, the electrostatic force law used by the authors is not applicable due to possible deviations of the mechanically polished and ground lens surface from a perfect spherical shape. A model is proposed which provides a possible explanation for the observed anomalous behavior using the standard Coulomb force. C1 [Decca, R.

TI Double photoionization of Be and Mg atoms using the R-matrix-with-pseudostates method SO PHYSICAL REVIEW A LA English DT Article DE atom-photon collisions; beryllium; ground states; magnesium; metastable states; photoionisation; triplet state ID HELIUM; IONIZATION; SINGLE; HE AB The R-matrix-with-pseudostates (RMPS) method is used to obtain total cross sections for double photoionization of Be and Mg atoms from their ground singlet and metastable triplet terms. Time-dependent close-coupling (TDCC) calculations are also carried out for the total and energy differential double photoionization cross sections of Mg from its ground term. The RMPS total ground-term cross sections for Be and Mg are in good agreement with results from TDCC and convergent close-coupling calculations at lower energies but are above them at higher energies. They are also in good agreement with the results of synchrotron measurements. The total cross sections for double photoionization from the triplet metastable terms of Be and Mg are found to be two to three times smaller than those from their singlet ground terms.

TI Absolute cross section for positron-impact ionization of hydrogen near threshold SO PHYSICAL REVIEW A LA English DT Article DE atom-positron collisions; hydrogen neutral atoms; positron impact ionisation ID HYPERSPHERICAL THEORY; ATOMIC-HYDROGEN; SCATTERING; FRAGMENTATION; ENERGIES; LAW AB We investigate positron-impact ionization of hydrogen near threshold using the hyperspherical hidden crossing method (HHCM). Previously, Ihra [Phys. Rev. Lett. 78, 4027 (1997)] used the HHCM to obtain the extended Wannier threshold law for zero angular momentum. We extend their analysis to higher angular momentum L and show that the extended Wannier threshold law is L independent. We also calculate the absolute partial-wave ionization cross sections for L=0, 1, 2, and 3 and compare our results with other calculations and with experimental measurements. The HHCM calculation provides an explanation for the very small S-wave and large D-wave contributions to the ionization cross section in terms of destructive and constructive interference, respectively.
