TI Cloud properties and associated radiative heating rates in the tropical western Pacific SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-ATMOSPHERES LA English DT Article ID CIRRUS CLOUDS; TOGA COARE; NAURU-ISLAND; WATER-VAPOR; ACCURATE PARAMETERIZATION; ATMOSPHERIC RADIATION; MARITIME CONTINENT; DEEP CONVECTION; CLIMATE MODELS; DOPPLER RADAR AB [1] Calculations of radiative flux profiles require measurements of thermodynamic and cloud properties ( temperature, humidity, liquid and ice water content). Instruments capable of making these measurements have only recently become available. The U. S. Department of Energy Atmospheric Radiation Measurement ( ARM) Program operates a comprehensive set of atmospheric remote sensing instruments at sites around the world, including three in the tropical western Pacific region. We have processed several months of ARM observations from two of these sites, Manus and Nauru, to calculate time series of vertical cloud property profiles and associated radiative fluxes and heating rates. Maxima in cloud occurrence are found in the boundary layer and the upper troposphere at both sites. Manus, which was much more convectively active than Nauru during the study period, also exhibits a midlevel cloud feature near the melting level. The two sites exhibit very different diurnal cycles. Manus experiences an afternoon maximum in high clouds while Nauru experiences a weak afternoon minimum. Nauru experiences a strong afternoon maximum in boundary layer clouds. Calculated fluxes at the surface and the top of the atmosphere are found to be in reasonable agreement with measurements. Below 15 km, radiative processes lead to cooling in the average profile, with local maxima near the surface and approximately 8 km. On average, high and midlevel clouds have a net warming effect though not enough to offset the clear-sky cooling. The prevalent boundary layer clouds at Nauru have a net cooling effect in and above the cloud layer and a net warming below. This data set will be an important tool for describing radiative processes in the tropics and assessing the simulation of these processes in dynamical models.

TI Raman thermometry of polysilicon microelectromechanical systems in the presence of an evolving stress SO JOURNAL OF HEAT TRANSFER-TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASME LA English DT Article DE Raman spectroscopy; MEMS; thermometry; thermal stresses ID FORCE MICROSCOPE CANTILEVERS; ELECTROTHERMAL ACTUATORS; TEMPERATURE; SILICON; SPECTROSCOPY; SCATTERING; ARRAY AB In this work, the use of Raman Stokes peak location and linewidth broadening methods were evaluated for thermometry applications of polysilicon microheaters subjected to evolving thermal stresses. Calibrations were performed using the temperature dependence of each spectral characteristic separately, and the uncertainty of each method quantified. It was determined that the Stokes linewidth was independent of stress variation allowing for temperature determination, irrespective of stress state. However the linewidth method is subject to greater uncertainty than the Stokes shift determination. The uncertainties for each method are observed to decrease with decreasing temperature and increasing integration times. The techniques were applied to mechanically constrained electrically active polysilicon microheaters. Results revealed temperatures in excess of 500 degrees C could be achieved in these devices. Using the peak location method resulted in an underprediction of temperature due to the development of a relative compressive thermal stress with increasing power dissipation.

TI Role of substrate cues in habitat selection by recently metamorphosed Bufo terrestris and Scaphiopus holbrookii SO JOURNAL OF HERPETOLOGY LA English DT Article ID EVAPORATIVE WATER-LOSS; AMPHIBIAN DECLINES; SALAMANDERS; FOREST; HERPETOFAUNA; ABUNDANCE; MOVEMENT; RATES; RISK; FROG AB Amphibians exhibit high rates of evaporative water loss that can affect their distribution, movements, and patterns of habitat use. Forest clearcutting alters habitat and results in environmental changes such as canopy removal and leaf litter loss that may promote drier microclimates in harvested clearcuts. Subsequently, clearcutting has been shown to generally reduce amphibian abundances and richness. We investigated the role of substrate cues in habitat differentiation between clearcuts and forests in juvenile Southern Toads (Bufo terrestris) and Eastern Spadefoot Toads (Scaphiopus holbrookii) in laboratory experiments. Neither B. terrestris nor S. holbrookii exhibited a preference for a single substrate when offered the choice between forest soil and clearcut soil. However, S. holbrookii significantly preferred forest substrate over clearcut substrate when forest litter was added to the forest soil. The affinity for forest litter exhibited by juvenile S. holbrookii suggests that the availability of suitable microhabitats may be an important determinant of S. holbrookii distributions and may explain previously reported habitat associations in field studies.

TI Observation of terahertz vibrations in Pyrococcus furiosus rubredoxin via impulsive coherent vibrational spectroscopy and nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopy - interpretation by molecular mechanics SO JOURNAL OF INORGANIC BIOCHEMISTRY LA English DT Article DE rubredoxin; Pyrococcus furiosus; normal mode; impulsive coherent vibrational spectroscopy ID RAY ABSORPTION-SPECTROSCOPY; MAGNETIC CIRCULAR-DICHROISM; CHARGE-TRANSFER DYNAMICS; PUMP-PROBE SPECTROSCOPY; NEUTRON-SCATTERING; RAMAN-SPECTROSCOPY; CLOSTRIDIUM-PASTEURIANUM; PROTEINS; PLASTOCYANIN; EXCITATION AB We have used impulsive coherent vibrational spectroscopy (ICVS) to study the Fe(S-CYS)(4) site in oxidized rubredoxin (Rd) from Pyrococcus furiosus (Pf). In this experiment, a 15 fs visible laser pulse is used to coherently pump the sample to an excited electronic state, and a second < 10 fs pulse is used to probe the change in transmission as a function of the time delay. PfRd was observed to relax to the ground state by a single exponential decay with time constants of similar to 255-275 fs. Superimposed on this relaxation are oscillations caused by coherent excitation of vibrational modes in both excited and ground electronic states. Fourier transformation reveals the frequencies of these modes. The strongest ICV mode with 570 nm excitation is the symmetric Fe-S stretching mode near 3 10 cm(-1), compared to 313 cm(-1) in the low temperature resonance Raman. If the rubredoxin is pumped at 520 nm, a set of strong bands occurs between 20 and 110 cm-1. Finally, there is a mode at similar to 500 cm(-1) which is similar to features near 508 cm(-1) in blue Cu proteins that have been attributed to excited state vibrations. Normal mode analysis using 488 protein atoms and 558 waters gave calculated spectra that are in good agreement with previous nuclear resonance vibrational spectra (NRVS) results. The lowest frequency normal modes are identified as collective motions of the entire protein or large segments of polypeptide. Motion in these modes may affect the polar environment of the redox site and thus tune the electron transfer functions in rubredoxins. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

TI Influence of antiferromagnetic fluctuations on the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov state in CeCoIn5 SO JOURNAL OF LOW TEMPERATURE PHYSICS LA English DT Article DE FFLO state; heavy fermion; high pressure; superconductivity ID UNCONVENTIONAL SUPERCONDUCTIVITY; CRITICAL FIELD; PRESSURE; DEPENDENCE; HEAT AB The Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) state is a spatially inhomogeneous superconducting (SC) phase with a periodically modulated order parameter predicted to appear in sufficiently clean type-II superconductors, close to the upper critical field, if the orbital pair breaking is small relative to the Pauli-limiting effect. The heavy-fermion superconductor CeCoIn5 is the first material, where different physical probes show strong experimental evidence pointing to the realization of the FFLO state, even though strong antiferromagnetic (AFM) spin-fluctuations (SF) are present at atmospheric pressure. To study the influence of the AFM-SF on the FFLO state we performed heat-capacity experiments under pressure. We utilized a newly developed miniature piston-cylinder type pressure cell specially suited for measuring small samples at high-magnetic fields and low temperatures (0 GPa <= P <= 1.5 GPa, 0 kOe <= H <= 140 kOe, and 100 mK <= T <= 4 K). We found the second anomaly inside the SC state in CeCoIn5 can still be observed with pressure, which suppress the strong AFM-SF. The FFLO phase extends to higher fields and temperatures on applying pressure while the Pauli-limiting effect is becoming weaker and the SF are suppressed. This reveals the detrimental effect of the AFM-SF on the FFLO phase stability. C1 Max Planck Inst Chem Phys Solids, D-01187 Dresden, Germany. Los Alamos Natl Lab, Los Alamos, NM 87545 USA.

I propose a theoretical description of these systems which are composed of two rare-earth ions with different total angular momentum (J(RE)(1) and J(RE)(2)) Our model Hamiltonian is solved self-consistently, taking into account crystal electric fields, exchange interactions, the Zeeman effect and second-order effects. From the eigenvalues and eigenstates, the partition function from which thermodynamic quantities may be calculated is obtained, including the isothermal magnetic entropy change, Delta S-mag. In order to validate the theoretical results, Delta S(ma)g obtained from heat capacity measurements using Maxwell's relations is compared to the calculated one. The results indicate that for Er-rich compositions fairly good agreement between theoretical and experimental Delta S-mag is obtained. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

If the compound is nonmagnetic, it would be one of the heaviest nonmagnetic Ce-based heavy fermions reported to date and therefore would be expected to lie extremely close to a quantum critical point. However, a broad peak of unknown origin is observed at 0.8K in the specific heat and magnetic susceptibility, suggesting the possibility of antiferromagnetic order. We present neutron diffraction data from polycrystalline samples which do not show any sign of magnetic scattering below 0.8 K. In addition, we present inelastic neutron scattering data from a single crystal sample which is consistent with the 1.2K energy scale for Kondo spin fluctuations determined from specific heat measurements.

This interplay leads to a line of magnetic quantum-critical points within the superconducting state. A comparison of nuclear spin-relaxation measurements on CeRhIn5 to those made on CeCoIn5, PuCoGa5, and PuRhGa5 suggests that SC and magnetism also may be related closely in these isostructural superconductors.

In addition, this material undergoes self-irradiation from the radioactive decay of the Pu nuclei. We report muon spin rotation (mu SR) measurements of the superconducting penetration depth l in 400 day-old single crystalline samples of PuCoGa5 (T-c congruent to 15.5 K), and compare these results to mu SR measurements taken on the same samples after only 25 days of aging (T-c congruent to 18.5 K), in order to elucidate the symmetry of the order parameter and its dependence on aging. The experiments show that the low-temperature super fluid density n(s) decreases linearly with increasing T in both fresh and aged PuCoGa5, consistent with a line of nodes in the order parameter.

The NQR-spectrum measurements have revealed that the incommensurate antiferromagnetic ordering is robust against increasing P with the increase of ordered moment and ordering temperature. Nevertheless the measurements of nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate (1/T-1) have pointed to the onset of superconductivity as a consequence of Ce-4f electrons delocalized by applying P. The emergence of superconductivity under the development of AF order suggests that a novel type of superconducting mechanism works in this compound. (c) 2006 Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.

PuRhGa5 exhibits a gradual suppression of (T1T)(-1) below 25K far above T-c similar to 8.5K, while measurements for PuCoGa5 reveal a monotonic increase down to T-c. We propose that this behavior is consistently understood by the crossover from the two-dimensional quantum antiferromagnetic regime of the local 5f-electron spins of Pu to the concomitant formation of the fermion pseudogap based on the two-component spin-fermion model.

Discrete forms of the upper critical field H-c2 scaling are observed below and above the critical pressure P-c1(= 1. 75) GPa. For P < 1.75 GPa, where unconventional superconductivity and magnetism coexist, H-c2 linearly increases with decreasing temperature. For P > 2. 35 GPa, where only unconventional superconductivity is observed up to the normal state, H-c2 shows normal behavior, saturating at low temperatures. In the intermediate pressure, 1. 75GPa < P < 2. 35 GPa, where applied magnetic field induces magnetism in the mixed superconducting state, H-c2 shows a crossover from normal temperature dependence to the unusual linear T dependence. These observations delineate the interplay between superconductivity and antiferromagnetic fluctuations that exist in the vicinity of the quantum critical point. (c) 2006 Elsevier B. V.

Furthermore, T*, a characteristic temperature below which the resistivity shows the T-2 dependence, is also found to decrease by almost the same factor. These findings suggest that the low Rh doping sensitively destroys the itinerant band gap due to the hidden order (HO) through the reduction of the Fermi surface volume in the quasi-particle band.

In this work, dielectric measurements as well as polarization measurements in isotropic pressure up to 18 kbar are presented. The results indicate that the pressure is able to induce the ferroelectric order at low temperature in multiferroic HoMn2O5 implying the stabilization of the commensurate magnetic structure. The observation reveals that the ferroelectricity and magneto-elastic properties are highly correlated in this system. (c) D 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

We argue that the fine structure observed in low-temperature EPR spectra of BaCuSi2O6 is a fingerprint of triplet excitations (excitons). Analyzing the angular dependence of the exciton modes allows us to precisely calculate the zero-field splitting within the triplet states and, correspondingly, the anisotropy parameter, D = 0.07 cm(-1). The proposed procedure can be applied for studying anisotropy effects in a large number of S = (1)/(2) gapped quantum antiferromagnets with dimerized or alternating spin structure.

Three different stripe domain structures at remanence are obtained in micromagnetic simulations depending on different field histories. We show that the nucleation of all three stripe domains are related to soft mode instabilities. When the field is along the long axis of the bar, the remanent stripe domain structure is shown to be generated by a standing-wave mode, that has the same spatial structure as the stripes at remanence and goes soft at a second-order phase transition where the stripe domains emerge. For the other two directions of the field, we find that the symmetry of soft modes is consistent with the change in symmetry of the ground state but in these cases the phase transition is first order.

We have characterized the temperature dependence of the magnetic correlation length (xi) with small angle neutron scattering measurements. We observe the expected divergence of xi right above T-c and, a wide region well within the paramagnetic phase, where the correlation length has an almost constant value of 7 angstrom. We have further observed a direct correlation between Co magnetic moment and xi: at the onset of the long range order both magnitudes experience an abrupt increase, while the temperature range at which xi has a constant value coincides with the change of sign of the Co magnetic moment.

TI Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy study of CeTe2 SO JOURNAL OF MAGNETISM AND MAGNETIC MATERIALS LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 17th International Conference on Magnetism (ICM 2006) CY AUG 20-25, 2006 CL Kyoto, JAPAN SP Int Union Pure & Appl Phys DE CeTe2; CDW; ARPES AB The Ce 4f electronic structure of a CDW system CeTe2 has been investigated using high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). By employing the fine-structure (FS) resonance, the Ce 4f ARPES spectra have been measured. The FS resonance ARPES shows a typical two-peak structure with the peaks at similar to -4 and similar to -1 eV, in which the latter peak shifts with increasing emission angle by similar to 300 meV. The Ce 4f states have the negligibly small intensity near E-F, reflecting the minor contribution from Ce 4f electrons to the metallic ground state of CeTe2. This implies that Te(1) 5p and Ce 5d electrons are involved in the CDW formation in CeTe2. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. C1 Catholic Univ Korea, Dept Phys, Puchon 420743, South Korea.

These measurements have probed a superstructure with wavevector q = (0. 5 0.50), originating from the distortion of the MnO6 octahedra responsible for the ferromagnetic state in the La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 blocks. An intriguing temperature dependence of the integrated intensities indicates the rotation of the distorted MnO6 octahedra with the onset of both ferromagnetic and superconducting order, correlated via SQUID magnetisation and resistivity measurements.

TI Magnetic soft X-ray microscopy: Imaging spin dynamics at the nanoscale SO JOURNAL OF MAGNETISM AND MAGNETIC MATERIALS LA English DT Article DE magnetic X-ray microscopy; fresnel zone plate; magnetic domains; spin dynamics ID RESOLUTION; MOTION AB Time-resolved magnetic X-ray microscopy combines in a unique way spatial resolution down to 15 nm with a temporal resolution of less than 100 ps. The former is enabled through state-of-the-art Fresnel zone plates used as X-ray optical elements and the latter is limited by the inherent time structure of current synchrotron radiation X-ray sources. Using a stroboscopic pump and probe scheme spin dynamics in magnetic systems of confined geometries can be imaged with great detail. The magnetization of the elements is excited with fast electronic pulses with a rise time of 100 ps that are launched into waveguide structures. Varying the delay time between the pump and the X-ray probing pulses one can image in real space the temporal evolution of the magnetic configuration in nanoscale elements. This paper is based on an invited talk given at the ICM2006 conference and provides an overview of the current status of time-resolved soft X-ray microscopy. Studies of vortex dynamics in rectangular structures are reported as a specific example. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. C1 LBNL, Ctr Xray Opt, Berkeley, CA 94720 USA.

Above the Curie temperature TC = 126 K, applying a magnetic field is found to induce a ferromagnetic order that persists up to T = 330 K. The critical field at which the induced magnetic moment is saturated agrees well with the field at which the CMR effect reaches to a maximum. Our results indicate that the CMR observed above TC is due to the field-induced ferromagnetism that produces a metallic state via the double exchange interaction. (C) 2006 Elsevier B.V.

The main characteristics of HYCOM are first presented, followed by a description and assessment of the present near real-time Atlantic forecasting system. Regional/coastal applications are also discussed since an important attribute of the data assimilative HYCOM simulations is the capability to provide boundary conditions to regional and coastal models. The final section describes the steps taken toward the establishment of the fully global eddy-resolving HYCOM data assimilative system and discusses some of the difficulties associated with advanced data assimilation given the size of the problem.

A novel analysis technique is introduced in which the orientation of mosaic films is measured by using a Hough transform to recognize arcs in Laue microdiffraction patterns that correspond to low-index zone axes. While the overall epitaxy is cube-on-cube, grain-by-grain analysis reveals a systematic misorientation of YBCO with respect to Ni: the YBCO [001] rotates toward the direction of the surface normal. The crystal mosaic (for rotation about the rolling direction) measured by a single diffraction pattern sampling a 0.5-mu m(2) surface area is 0.7 degrees full width at half-maximum for YBCO grown on Ni grains with a low tilt; for more highly tilted grains, the YBCO patterns can no longer be measured, presumably due to the large mosaic. The YBCO mosaic over the entire area of a Ni grain is -2.5 degrees and varies with grain size; the mosaic is smaller for larger grains. C1 Oak Ridge Natl Lab, Oak Ridge, TN 37831 USA.

TI Sublimation growth of aluminum nitride on silicon carbide substrate with aluminum nitride-silicon carbide alloy transition layer SO JOURNAL OF MATERIALS RESEARCH LA English DT Article ID CRYSTALS AB The advantages of depositing AlN-SiC alloy transition layers on SiC substrates before the seeded growth of bulk AlN crystals were examined. The presence of AlN-SiC alloy layers helped to suppress the SiC decomposition by providing vapor sources of silicon and carbon. In addition, cracks in the final AlN crystals decreased from similar to 5 x 10(6)/mm(2) for those grown directly on SiC substrates to less than I X 10(6)/mm(2) for those grown on AlN-SiC alloy layers because of the intermediate lattice constants and thermal expansion coefficient of AlN-SiC. X-ray diffraction confirmed the formation of pure single-crystalline AlN upon both AlN-SiC alloys and SiC substrates. X-ray topography (XRT) demonstrated that strains present in the AlN crystals decreased as the AlN grew thicker. However, the XRT for AlN crystals grown directly on SiC substrates was significantly distorted with a high overall defect density compared to those grown on AlN-SiC alloys.

TI Fabrication of nanoporous titania on glass and transparent conducting oxide substrates by anodization of titanium films SO JOURNAL OF MATERIALS RESEARCH LA English DT Article ID SENSITIZED SOLAR-CELLS; NANOTUBE ARRAYS; ANODIC-OXIDATION; TIO2 NANOTUBES AB Nanoporous titania (TiO2) or titania nanotubes Could provide a continuous nanostructured electron-conducting anode for organic photovoltaics. In this work, nanoporous titania was formed by anodizing thin films of titanium on both glass and transparent conducting oxide (TCO) substrates. Titanium thin films (500-700 nm) were deposited by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering. Films were anodized in acidic electrolytes containing small amounts of hydrofluoric acid (HF) at constant voltages ranging from 7 to 15 V. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis revealed a nanoporous structure. Nanoporous titania structures were grown on glass in all electrolyte containing sulfuric acid, trisodium citrate, and potassium fluoride, with pore diameters around 50 nm. Analyzing the films at different anodization times, the stages of nanopore formation were elucidated. Additionally, nanoporous titania was formed on a TCO substrate by anodizing in an electrolyte containing acetic acid and hydrofluoric acid. While not completely transparent, the nanoporous titania is promising for use in organic photovoltaics. C1 Natl Renewable Energy Lab, Golden, CO 80401 USA.

Our results reveal that the melting of the nanowires starts from the surface and rapidly extends to the inner regions of nanowires as temperature increases. The melting temperatures increase to saturation values similar to 3100 and similar to 2900 K when the diameters of nanowires are larger than 3.14 and 4.14 nm for the nanowires with [100]- and [110]-oriented lateral facets, respectively. The saturated values are close to the melting temperature of bulk GaN. The low melting temperature of GaN nanowires with small diameter may be associated with the large surfaces of nanowires.

The nc Ni was deformed under uniaxial tension at liquid-nitrogen temperature. Trapped full dislocations were observed in the grain interior and near the grain boundaries. In particular, these dislocations preferred to exist in the form of dipoles. Deformation twinning was confirmed in nc grains and the most proficient mechanism is the heterogeneous nucleation via emission of partial dislocations from the grain boundaries.

TI Structure and properties of bulk nanostructured alloys synthesized by flux-melting SO JOURNAL OF MATERIALS SCIENCE LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT Nanomaterisls - Materials and Processing for Functional Applications held at the 2006 TMS Spring Meeting CY MAR 13-16, 2006 CL San Antonio, TX SP TMS ID SEVERE PLASTIC-DEFORMATION; NANOCRYSTALLINE COPPER; CU-AG; ULTRAHIGH STRENGTH; TENSILE PROPERTIES; ROOM-TEMPERATURE; GRAIN-SIZE; MICROSTRUCTURE; METALS; DUCTILITY AB Nanomaterials can easily be prepared as thin films and powders, but are much harder to prepare in bulk form. Nanostructured materials are prepared mainly by consolidation, electrodeposition, and deformation. These processing techniques have problems such as porosity, contamination, high cost, and limitations in refining the grain size. Since most bulk engineering metals are initially prepared by casting, we developed a casting technique, flux-melting and melt-solidification, to prepare bulk nanostructured alloys. The casting technique has such advantages as simplicity, low cost, and full density. In our method, Ag-Cu alloys were melted in B2O3 flux, which removed most of the impurities, mainly oxides, in the melts. Upon solidifying the melt at a relatively slow cooling rate on the order of 10(1)-10(2) K/s a large undercooling of similar to 0.25 T-m (where T-m is the melting temperature) was achieved. This large undercooling leads to the formation of bulk nanostructured Ag-Cu alloys composed of alternative Ag/Cu lamella and nanocrystals, both similar to 50 nm in dimension. Our liquid-processed alloys are fully dense and relatively free from contamination. The nanostructured Ag-Cu alloys have similar yield strength in tension and in compression. The as-quenched alloys have yield strength of 400 MPa, ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of 550 MPa, and plastic elongation of similar to 8%. The UTS was further increased to similar to 830 MPa after the as-quenched alloy rod was cold drawn to a strain of similar to 2. The nanostructured Ag-Cu alloys show a high electrical conductivity (similar to 80% that of International Annealed Copper Standard), a slight strain hardening (strain-hardening coefficient of 0.10), and a high thermal stability up to a reduced temperature of 2/3 T-m. Some of these behaviors are different than those found in previous bulk nanostructured materials synthesized by solid state methods, and are explained based on the unique nanostructures achieved by our flux-melting and melt-solidification technique.

TI Plastic anisotropy in aluminum and copper pre-strained by equal channel angular extrusion SO JOURNAL OF MATERIALS SCIENCE LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT Nanomaterisls - Materials and Processing for Functional Applications held at the 2006 TMS Spring Meeting CY MAR 13-16, 2006 CL San Antonio, TX SP TMS ID WORK-HARDENING BEHAVIOR; MECHANICAL-PROPERTIES; TEXTURE EVOLUTION; SELF-CONSISTENT; SINGLE-CRYSTALS; SIMPLE SHEAR; PATH CHANGES; FLOW-STRESS; FCC METALS; DEFORMATION AB The mechanical response of as-processed equal channel angular extrusion materials is anisotropic, depending on both direction and sense of straining. The stress-strain curves exhibit hardening characteristics different from the usual work hardening responses, e.g., Stages I-IV, expected in annealed fcc metals under monotonic loading. In this work, the anisotropic flow responses of two pure fcc metals, Al and Cu, processed by route Bc are evaluated and compared based on pre-strain level (number of passes), direction of reloading, sense of straining (i.e., compression versus tension), and their propensity to generate subgrain microstructures and to rearrange, should the slip activity change. In most cases, either macroscopic work softening or strain intervals with little to no work hardening are observed. Application of a crystallographically based single-crystal hardening law for strain-path changes [Beyerlein and Tome, Int. J. Plasticity (2007)] incorporated into a visco-plastic self-consistent (VPSC) model supports the hypothesis that suppression of work hardening is due to reversal or cross effects operating at the grain level.

The degree of the strain hardening increases with increasing strain rates and becomes more pronounced at dynamic loading rates. This behavior is in contrast with what we have seen so far in other nanostructured materials, where flat stress-strain curves are often seen. It was concluded from transmission electron microscopy investigations that in addition to dislocation slips, deformation twinning may have played a significant role in plastic deformation of nanostructured Ti. The structural failure behavior is in-situ recorded by a CCD camera and reasoned according to the microscopic observations.

Results assuming a simple distribution of nitrogen vacancies best reflect the remarkably small observed changes in lattice parameter over the whole stoichiometry range for both materials. These are facilitated by small charge transfer to the cations immediately surrounding the nitrogen vacancy and small accompanying lattice relaxations. Conversely variations in bulk modulus are considerable but can be correlated, via a simple function, to the change in materials density.

Of the Pb-free choices, a family of solder alloys based on the Sn-Ag-Cu (SAC) ternary eutectic (T-eut. = 217 degrees C) composition have emerged with the most potential for broad use across the industry, but the preferred (typically near-eutectic) composition is still in debate. This review will attempt to clarify the characteristic microstructures and mechanical properties of the current candidates and recommend alloy choices, a maximum operating temperature limit, and directions for future work. Also included in this review will be an exploration of several SAC + X candidates, i.e., 4th element modifications of SAC solder alloys, that are intended to control solder alloy undercooling and solidification product phases and to improve the resistance of SAC solder joints to high temperature thermal aging effects. Again, preliminary alloy recommendations will be offered, along with suggestions for future work. C1 Iowa State Univ, Ames Lab, US DOE, Ames, IA 50011 USA.

Stress-strain and creep studies, which provide solder mechanical properties for unified creep-plasticity (UCP) predictive models, were performed on the Pb-free 97In-3Ag (wt.%) and 58In-42Sn solders and counterpart Pb-bearing 80In-15Pb-5Ag and 70In-15Sn-9.6Pb-5.4Cd alloys. Stress-strain tests were performed at 4.4 x 10(-5) s(-1) and 8.8 x 10(-4) s(-1). Stress-strain and creep tests were performed at -25, 25, 75, and 100 degrees C or 125 degrees C. The samples were evaluated in the as-fabricated and post-annealed conditions. The In-Ag solder had yield stress values of 0.5-8.5 MPa. The values of Delta H for steady-state creep were 99 +/- 14 kJ/mol and 46 +/- 11 kJ/mol, indicating that bulk diffusion controlled creep in the as-fabricated samples (former) and fast-diffusion controlled creep in the annealed samples (latter). The In-Sn yield stresses were 1.0-22 MPa and were not dependent on an annealed condition. The steady-state creep Delta H values were 55 +/- 11 kJ/mol and 48 +/- 13 kJ/mol for the as-fabricated and annealed samples, respectively, indicating the fast-diffusion controlled creep for the two conditions. The UCP constitutive models were derived for the In-Ag solder in the as-fabricated and annealed conditions. C1 Sandia Natl Labs, Albuquerque, NM 87185 USA.

The process involves the conversion of oxide fuel to metal by electrolytic means, which would then enable subsequent separation and recovery of actinides via existing electrometallurgical technologies, i.e., electrorefining. Four electrolytic reduction runs were performed at bench scale using similar to 500 rnI of molten LiCI-1 wt% Li2O electrolyte at 650 degrees C. In each run, similar to 50g of crushed spent oxide fuel was loaded into a permeable stainless steel basket and immersed into the electrolyte as the cathode. A spiral wound platinum wire was immersed into the electrolyte as the anode. When a controlled electric current was conducted through the anode and cathode, the oxide fuel was reduced to metal in the basket and oxygen gas was evolved at the anode. Salt samples were extracted before and after each electrolytic reduction run and analyzed for fuel and fission product constituents. The fuel baskets following each run were sectioned and the fuel was sampled, revealing an extent of uranium oxide reduction in excess of 98%. C1 Idaho Natl Lab, Idaho Falls, ID 83415 USA.

In this study, it was assumed that spent PWR fuel was processed, removing the titanium, plutonium, americium, and neptunium, along with the fission products cesium and strontium. Previous work had demonstrated that these elements were responsible for limiting loading in the repository based on thermal constraints. The plutonium, americium, and neptunium were recycled in a PWR, with process waste and spent recycled fuel being sent to the repository. The cesium and strontium were placed in separate storage for 100-300 years to allow for decay prior to disposal. The study examined the effect of single and mutliple recycles of the recovered plutonium, americium, and neptunium, as well as different processing delay times. The potential benefit to the repository was measured by the increase in utilization of repository space as indicated by the allowable linear loading in the repository drifts (tunnels). The results showed that limited recycling would provide only a small fraction of the benefit that could be achieved with repeated processing and recycling, as is possible in fast neutron reactors.

Today's reality is that maintaining an inventory of unirradiated highly enriched uranium or plutonium for critical experiments requires a facility to accept substantial security cost and intrusion. In the context of a large collection of benchmark integral experiments collected over several decades and the ongoing rapid advances in computer modeling and simulation, there seems to be ample incentive to reduce both the number of facilities and material inventory quantities worldwide. As a result of ongoing nonproliferation initiatives, there are viable programs that will accept highly enriched uranium for down blending into commercial fuel. Nevertheless, there are formidable hurdles to overcome before national institutions will voluntarily give up existing nuclear research capabilities. GLOBAL 2005 was the appropriate forum to begin fostering a new spirit of cooperation that could lead to improved international security and better use of precious research and development resources, while ensuring access to existing and future critical experiment data.

Chief among these is the potential for methane hydrate to serve as a significant new resource to help meet longterm energy demands. To address this and other questions, the Methane Hydrate R&D Act of 2000 was enacted-promoting unprecedented collaboration between six federal agencies and enabling 5 years of government-industry-academia R&D partnerships. This article will discuss significant developments that emerged during the period 2001-2005 that sharpened the focus of R&D into methane hydrate's resource potential, including (1) the improved ability to conduct laboratory studies using samples that more closely replicate in-situ conditions and natural processes; (2) the increased recognition and documentation of the complexity of natural hydrate systems; (3) the increasing ability to directly detect hydrates through remote sensing; (4) the emerging transition from reliance on in-place numbers to more relevant estimates of recoverability; (5) a focus on hydrates within porous and permeable strata, whether in arctic or marine settings, and (6) the emergence of the first validated and publicly-available reservoir simulators.

MH transforms into water and methane (CH4) gas in bubbles when it dissociates in seawater. That CH4 may be oxidized (via bacteria) into carbon dioxide (C0(2)) before the bubbles rise to the sea surface or dissolve into seawater again. Similarly, nitrogen hydrate is expected to exist in seawater. The nitrogen coming out of nitrogen hydrate can be fixed and oxidized into nitrate. Analysis of the relationship among seawater temperature, '' apparent oxygen utilization '' (AOU) and the concentration Of CO2, based on WOCE ocean observations, reveals some characteristics that are not part of a stoichiometry relation. Analysis of individual profiles implies that the dissociation of gas hydrates occurs according to temperature and pressure (depth) at hydrate phase boundary. A quantity, named as virtual oxygen utilization (VOU), is calculated to account for the depletion of dissolved oxygen in seawater due to biochemical oxidation processes. The results show a good agreement between AOU and VOU at depth greater than the level where hydrates dissociate. The VOU is less than AOU in the layer of seawater beneath the euphotic zone. That is attributed to the escape Of C02 into the atmosphere.. The oceanic MH provides a huge biochemical fuel source to generate heat internal to world oceans. This may explain the observed ocean warming at the intermediate depth during last several decades. The role of microbes in altering the chemical and physical properties of seawater and the course of climate change cannot be ignored. (C) 2006 Elsevier B.V All rights reserved.

The SPS is a 72 L vessel which establishes the pressures and temperatures required for methane and carbon dioxide hydrate stability. This paper describes the experiments that have been performed in the SPS and have been duplicated in the smaller Parr vessel (450 niL). It was found that experiments in the SPS resulted in hydrates consistently forming at lower overpressures and in shorter induction times than equivalent experiments in the Parr vessel. The variability of pressure and/or induction time for hydrate formation was not eliminated by using the SPS, but it appeared to be: less dramatic (small coefficients of variation) when compared with a 450 mL Parr vessel. Based on the experiments performed using the SPS this reduction in overpressure and/or induction time required for the accumulation of hydrates may be attributed to increased bubble surface area, increased gas concentration, increased lifetime of bubbles, increased total volume of the SPS, or a combination of the above. Mesoscale experiments, such as those in the SPS, may perhaps be more representative of hydrate accumulation in the natural environment. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Raman spectroscopy of the CO2 hydrate composite was also performed to determine the presence of various components in the composite produced by the co-injection of liquid CO2 and water. This work is focused on the formation and spectroscopy of a semi-solid sinking CO2 hydrate composite formed using a co-flow injector in 72-liter and 0.45-liter pressurized vessels at pressure and temperature conditions equivalent to approximately 1.3-km depth in the ocean. The Raman wavenumber shifts (triangle cm(-1)) corresponding to CO2 and water molecules as well as shifts in Raman peak positions due to different CO2 phases were obtained. The Raman spectra of the composite showed that both liquid and hydrate phases Of CO2 are present. The dissolution rate Of CO2 hydrate composite in water was also studied. An attempt was made to calculate the hydration number for the CO2 hydrate composite and also the percentage of liquid CO2 and water loss during formation. (C) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

One area of investigation is the storage of methane as methane hydrates. An economical and efficient means of storing methane in hydrates opens many commercial opportunities such as transport of stranded gas, off-peak storage of line gas, etc. We have observed during our investigations that the ability to convert methane to methane hydrate is enhanced by foaming of the methane-water solution using a surfactant. The density of the foam, along with the bubble size, is important in the conversion of methane to methane hydrate. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Several factors such as dissolved minerals in seawater, mineral content, and pore size of sediments are thought to affect hydrate growth. There is much interest in exploiting this energy source, but there are many unknown aspects that need to be addressed. In order to develop or improve methane recovery methods, it is important to be able to mimic natural conditions in a laboratory and study dynamics of methane hydrates in host sediments. To date, a large data set from laboratory studies is available for pure methane hydrates for which kinetic models have been proposed but reproducible data collection in the presence of sediments has proved challenging. We describe herein a new experimental apparatus named FISH (Flexible Integrated Study of Hydrates) that has been designed to confine artificial and natural sediments in a pressure vessel and mimic oceanic conditions in order to study kinetics of methane hydrate formation/ decomposition in these sediments. The unit: 1) consists of a pressure vessel equipped with a first-of-its-kind viewport that is large enough to observe macroscopic hydrate behavior, 2) configuration allows convenient interchangeability of different volume pressure vessels, 3) can accept acoustic probes, and 4) holds multiple sensors for operation under precise pressure and temperature conditions. The unit set up, operation, and preliminary results for experiments with a pressure vessel in which the effective gas to liquid volume (Vg/NI) ratio was 1.86, are described. The availability of accurate data on the formation/ decomposition cycle and acoustic properties of hydrates will aid in developing a much sought after economical method to extract methane from this vast resource.

Methane hydrate was formed and dissociated under various conditions in a large X-ray transparent pressure vessel, while pressure and temperature were monitored. In addition, X-ray computed tomography (CT) was used to determine local density changes during the experiment. The goals of the experiments were to observe changes occurring due to hydrate formation and dissociation, and to collect data to evaluate the importance of hydrate dissociation kinetic's in porous media. In the series of experiments, we performed thermal perturbations on the sand/water/gas system, formed methane hydrate, performed thermal perturbations on the sand/hydrate/water/gas system resulting in hydrate formation and dissociation, formed hydrate in the resulting partially dissociated system, and dissociated the hydrate by depressurization coupled with thermal stimulation. Our CT work shows significant water migration in addition to possible shifting of mineral grains in response to hydrate formation and dissociation. The extensive data including pressure, temperatures at multiple locations, and density from CT data is described. Published by Elsevier B.V.

We describe here the applicability of the computed microtomography (CMT) technique that utilizes an intense X-ray synchrotron source to characterize sediment samples, two at various depths from the Blake Ridge area (a well-known hydrate-prone region) and one from Georges Bank, that once contained methane trapped as hydrates. Detailed results of the tomographic analysis performed on the deepest sample (667 m) from Blake Ridge are presented as 2-D and 3-D images which show several mineral constituents, the internal grain/pore microstructure, and, following segmentation into pore and grain space, a visualization of the connecting pathways through the pore-space of the sediment. Various parameters obtained from the analysis of the CMT data are presented for all three sediment samples. The micro-scale porosity values showed decreasing trend with increasing depth for all three samples that is consistent with the previously reported bulk porosity data. The 3-D morphology, pore-space pathways, porosity, and permeability values are also reported for all three samples. The application of CMT is now being expanded to the laboratory-formed samples of hydrate in sediments as well as field samples of methane hydrate bearing sediments. Published by Elsevier B.V.

We consider a semi-analytical model of the problem based on local equilibrium and build upon previous studies in order to obtain further insight on the effects of various parameters that can affect methane production. While previous studies have focused on porous media with properties corresponding to permafrost regions, the overall amount of hydrates in oceanic sediments is believed to be significantly high as well. Therefore, it is essential to examine the effect of oceanic sediments on methane production, since pore-size distributions, permeabilities and porosities of oceanic sediments can be significantly different from permafrost sediments. Parameters to be examined include among others: penneability, porosity, and thermodynamic/transport properties of the system. Study of such issues is of significant importance because it can delineate the possible range of parameters where methane production can be economically viable. It is demonstrated in this work, in contrast to previous studies on permafrost, that for the case of oceanic sediments (low permeabilities), the rate of hydrate dissociation depends on the permeability of the porous sediments. It is demonstrated that at low permeabilities corresponding to oceanic sediments extremely high dissociation pressures develop at the hydrate dissociation front that would result in fracturing of the hydrate-sediment and lead to break down of the model.

Five key areas of research that need further investigation have been identified. These five areas, i.e. thermal properties of hydrates in sediments, kinetics of natural hydrate dissociation, hysteresis effects, permeability of sediments to gas flow and capillary pressures within sediments, and hydrate distribution at porous scale, are important to the production models that will be used for producing methane from hydrate deposits. NETL is using both laboratory experiments and computational modeling to address these five key areas. The laboratory and computational research reinforce each other by providing feedback. The laboratory results are used in the computational models and the results from the computational modeling is used to help direct future laboratory research. The data generated at NETL will be used to help fulfill The National Methane Hydrate R&D Program of a '' long-term supply of natural gas by developing the knowledge and technology base to allow commercial production of methane from domestic hydrate deposits by the year 2015 '' as outlined on the NETL Website [NETL Website, 2005. http://www.netl.doe.gov/sengo/Natural%20Gas/hydrates/index.html.]. Laboratory research is accomplished in one of the numerous high-pressure hydrate cells available ranging in size from 0.15 mL to 15 L in volume. A dedicated high-pressure view cell within the Raman spectrometer allows for monitoring the formation and dissociation of hydrates. Thermal conductivity of hydrates (synthetic and natural) at a certain temperature and pressure is performed in a NETL-designed cell. Computational modeling studies are investigating the kinetics of hydrate formation and dissociation, modeling methane hydrate reservoirs, molecular dynamics simulations of hydrate formation, dissociation, and thermal properties, and Monte Carlo simulations of hydrate formation and dissociation.

TI Electron transfer reactions of peroxydisulfate and fluoroxysulfate reactions with the cyanide complexes M(CN)(n)(4-) (M=Fe(II), Ru(II), Os(II), Mo(IV), and W(IV)) SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY A LA English DT Article ID AQUEOUS-SOLUTION; DISSOCIATION-ENERGIES; BIOCHEMICAL PATHWAYS; FERROCYANIDE IONS; KINETICS; OXIDATION; REDUCTION; DECOMPOSITION; MECHANISM; OCTACYANOMOLYBDATE(IV) AB The stoichiometry and the kinetics of oxidation of the cyanide complexes M(CN)(n)(4-) (M = Fe(II), Ru(II), Os(II), Mo(IV), and W(IV)) by the peroxydisulfate ion, S2O82-, and by the much more strongly oxidizing fluoroxysulfate ion, SO4F-, were studied in aqueous solutions containing Li+. Reactions of S2O82- with M(CN)(n)(4-) are known to be strongly catalyzed by Li+ and other alkali metal ions, and this applies also to the corresponding reactions of SO4F-. The primary reactions of S2O82- and SO4F- have both been found to be one-electron processes in which the equally strong O-O and O-F bonds are broken. The primary reaction of S2O82- consists of a single step yielding M(CN)(n)(3-), SO4-, and SO42-, whereas the primary reaction of SO4F- comprises two parallel one-electron steps, one leading to M(CN)(n)(3-), SO4-, and F- and the other yielding M(CN)(n-1)(2-,) CN-, SO4- and F-. The relationship between the rate constants and the standard free energies of reaction for the Li+-catalyzed reactions of SO4F- and S2O82- with M(CN)(n)(4-), and for the uncatalyzed reactions of S2O82- with bipyridyl and phenanthroline complexes MLn2+ (M = Fe(II), Ru(II), and Os(II)) studied previously, suggests that the intrinsic barrier for all three sets of reactions is similar, i.e., unaffected by the Li+ catalysis, and that the electron transfer and the breakage of the O-O and O-F bonds are concerted processes.

TI Theoretical electron density distributions for Fe- and Cu-sulfide earth materials: A connection between bond length, bond critical point properties, local energy densities, and bonded interactions SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY B LA English DT Article ID TRANSITION-METAL SULFIDES; RAY CHARGE-DENSITY; CRYSTAL-CHEMISTRY; IRON-SULFIDE; MAGNETIC-PROPERTIES; HIGH-PRESSURE; PYRITE; MOSSBAUER; CUBANITE; CUFE2S3 AB Bond critical point and local energy density properties together with net atomic charges were calculated for theoretical electron density distributions, rho(r), generated for a variety of Fe and Cu metal-sulfide materials with high- and low-spin Fe atoms in octahedral coordination and high-spin Fe atoms in tetrahedral coordination. The electron density, rho(r(c)), the Laplacian, del(2)rho(r(c)), the local kinetic energy, G(r(c)), and the oxidation state of Fe increase as the local potential energy density, V(r>(c)), the Fe-S bond lengths, and the coordination numbers of the Fe atoms decrease. The properties of the bonded interactions for the octahedrally coordinated low-spin Fe atoms for pyrite and marcasite are distinct from those for high-spin Fe atoms for troilite, smythite, and greigite. The Fe-S bond lengths are shorter and the values of rho(r(c)) and del(2)rho(r(c)) are larger for pyrite and marcasite, indicating that the accumulation and local concentration of rho(r) in the internuclear region are greater than those involving the longer, high-spin Fe-S bonded interactions. The net atomic charges and the bonded radii calculated for the Fe and S atoms in pyrite and marcasite are also smaller than those for sulfides with high-spin octahedrally coordinated Fe atoms. Collectively, the Fe-S interactions are indicated to be intermediate in character with the low-spin Fe-S interactions having greater shared character than the high-spin interactions. The bond lengths observed for chalcopyrite together with the calculated bond critical point properties are consistent with the formula Cu+Fe3+S2. The bond length is shorter and the rho(r(c)) value is larger for the FeS4 tetrahedron displayed by metastable greigite than those displayed by chalcopyrite and cubanite, consistent with a proposal that the Fe atom in greigite is tetravalent. S-S bond paths exist between each of the surface S atoms of adjacent slabs of FeS6 octahedra comprising the layer sulfide smythite, suggesting that the neutral Fe3S4 slabs are linked together and stabilized by the pathways of electron density comprising S-S bonded interactions. Such interactions not only exist between the S atoms for adjacent S-8 rings in native sulfur, but their bond critical point properties are similar to those displayed by the metal sulfides.

As H(NH2BH2)),H oligomers result from dehydrogenation of NH3BH3 and NH4BH4 materials, understanding the geometries, stabilities, and electronic structure of these oligomers is essential for developing chemical methods of hydrogen release and regeneration of the BNRx-based hydrogen storage materials. In this work we have performed computational modeling on the H(NH2BH2)(n)H (n = 1-6) oligomers using density functional theory (DFT). We have investigated linear chain structures and the stabilizing effects of coiling, biradicalization, and branching through Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics simulations and subsequent geometry optimizations. We find that the zigzag linear oligomers are unstable with respect to the coiled, square-wave chain, and branched structures, with the coiled structures being the most stable. Dilrydrogen bonding in oligomers, where protic H delta+(N) hydrogens interact with hydridic H delta-(B) hydrogens, plays a crucial role in stabilizing different isomers and conformers. The results are consistent with structures of products that are seen in experimental NMR studies of dehydrogenated ammonia borane.

CA STAR Collaboration TI The energy dependence of p(t) angular correlations inferred from mean-p(t) fluctuation scale dependence in heavy ion collisions at the SPS and RHIC SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICS G-NUCLEAR AND PARTICLE PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID AU-AU COLLISIONS; NUCLEUS-NUCLEUS COLLISIONS; BY-EVENT FLUCTUATIONS; TRANSVERSE-MOMENTUM; ROOT-S(NN)=200 GEV; EQUILIBRATION; AUTOCORRELATIONS; PHI; ETA AB We present the first study of the energy dependence of pt angular correlations inferred from event-wisemean transversemomentum < p(t)> fluctuations in heavy ion collisions. We compare our large-acceptance measurements at CM energies root s(NN) = 19.6, 62.4, 130 and 200 GeV to SPS measurements at 12.3 and 17.3 GeV. p(t) angular correlation structure suggests that the principal source of pt correlations and fluctuations is minijets (minimum-bias parton fragments). We observe a dramatic increase in correlations and fluctuations from SPS to RHIC energies, increasing linearly with 1n root s(NN) from the onset of observable jet-related < p(t)> fluctuations near 10 GeV.

Therefore, in the quest for new physics, null tests of the Standard Model become increasingly important. Motivated by these considerations, we describe a number of approximate null tests of the standard model. These tests provide several theoretically clean approaches to searching for new physics in the B system. We find that in many cases the requisite sensitivity can only be achieved with an International Super B Factory, with luminosity around 1036 cm(-2) s(-1).

TI Vortex structure produced by a laterally inclined supersonic jet in transonic crossflow SO JOURNAL OF PROPULSION AND POWER LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT AIAA 35th Fluid Dynamics Conference CY JUN 06-09, 2006 CL Toronto, CANADA SP Amer Inst Aeronaut & Astronaut ID PARTICLE IMAGE VELOCIMETRY; TURBULENT-BOUNDARY-LAYER; TRANSVERSE JET; ROUND JET; INJECTION; FREESTREAM; PENETRATION; PERFORMANCE; DYNAMICS AB Stereoscopic particle image velocimetry data have been collected for a supersonic jet exhausting into a transonic crossflow from a laterally inclined scarfed nozzle installed flush in a flat plate. Mean velocity fields and their derived vorticity were measured at a single crossplane in the far-field for varied jet-to-freestream dynamic pressure ratio J and nozzle inclination angles of 0, 15,30, and 45 deg. The data reveal the induced counterrotating vortex pair and the horseshoe vortex formed as the jet exits the nozzle, both of which appear symmetric for the uncanted nozzle. As the nozzle inclination is increased, the vortex pair becomes tilted opposite the nozzle cant and shifts closer to the wall, where the lower vortex attains a larger strength than its counterpart until it eventually becomes so dominant that the opposite vortex is undetectable. Regardless of nozzle cant, vortex strengths increase with larger J. Vortex distances from the wall increase with J at lower nozzle cants, but at larger inclination, the position of the vortex nearer the wall varies less with J than does its complement. Thus, at a sufficiently large nozzle cant, the jet interaction effectively produces a single vortex whose position does not shift greatly with jet strength.

By using multiplexed flow cytometry, we can simultaneously determine the relative expression levels, the identification of nonspecific binding, and the discrimination of fine specificities to generate a complete functional profile for each clone. The quality and quantity of data, combined with significant reductions in analysis time and antigen consumption, provide notable advantages over standard ELISA methods and yield much information in the primary screen which is usually only obtained in later screens. By combining high-throughput screening capabilities with multiplex technology, we have redefined the parameters for the initial identification of affinity reagents recovered from combinatorial libraries and removed a significant bottleneck in the generation of affinity reagents on a proteomic scale.

TI Gray radiation transport in multi-dimensional stochastic binary media with material temperature coupling SO JOURNAL OF QUANTITATIVE SPECTROSCOPY & RADIATIVE TRANSFER LA English DT Article DE radiation transport; radiative transfer; stochastic media; participating media ID EQUATIONS AB Models for radiation transport through stochastic binary media are tested in two and three dimensions. Theoretical models for stochastic media transport usually assume Markovian processes and exponential chord length statistics that are not fully realizable in multi-dimensions. Therefore, the previous validation studies done using one-dimensional (1D) transport are not necessarily applicable to multi-dimensions. The work presented here analyzes pure radiation transport and radiation when it is coupled to material energy balance. The sensitivity to chord length statistics is found to be different for these two cases. The assumptions made to linearize the transport equation are discussed and results for both linear and nonlinear transport are shown. For the coupled radiation and material problem in 2D and 3D, the mean radiation field differs significantly from previous analyses done in 1D. The differences between 1D and multi-dimensions are discussed. Modeling of the mean radiation field in the parameter range explored can be achieved with a simple formula for the mean opacity when the opacities are constant in space and time. Temperature-dependent opacities in stochastic media require different formulas for the effective opacity. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

TI Angularly adaptive P-1-double P-0 flux-limited diffusion solutions of non-equilibrium grey radiative transfer problems SO JOURNAL OF QUANTITATIVE SPECTROSCOPY & RADIATIVE TRANSFER LA English DT Article DE radiative transfer; non-equilibrium flux-limited radiation diffusion; spherical harmonics approximation; double spherical harmonics approximation ID TRANSPORT; SCATTERING; APPROXIMATIONS; EQUATIONS; SCHEME; TIME AB The double spherical harmonics angular approximation in the lowest order, i.e. double P-0 (DP0), is developed for the solution of time-dependent non-equilibrium grey radiative transfer problems in planar geometry. Although the DP0 diffusion approximation is expected to be less accurate than the P, diffusion approximation at and near thermodynamic equilibrium, the DP0 angular approximation can more accurately capture the complicated angular dependence near a nonequilibrium radiation wave front. In addition, the DP0 approximation should be more accurate in non-equilibrium optically thin regions where the positive and negative angular domains are largely decoupled. We develop an adaptive angular technique that locally uses either the DP0 or P-1 flux-limited diffusion approximation depending on the degree to which the radiation and material fields are in thermodynamic equilibrium. Numerical results are presented for two test problems due to Su and Olson and to Ganapol and Pomraning for which semi-analytic transport solutions exist. These numerical results demonstrate that the adaptive P-1-DP0 diffusion approximation can yield improvements in accuracy over the standard P, diffusion approximation, both without and with flux-limiting, for non-equilibrium grey radiative transfer.

The pattern of deglaciation of the Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS) in arctic fiord landscapes can now be well dated using cosmogenic exposure dating. We use cosmogenic exposure and radiocarbon ages to constrain the deglaciation history of Clyde Inlet, a 120 km long fiord on northeastern Baffin Island. The LIS reached the continental shelf during the LGM, retreated from the coastal lowlands by 12.5 +/- 0.7 ka (n = 3), and from the fiord mouth by 11.7 +/- 2.2 ka (n=4). Rapid retreat from the outer fiord occurred 10.3 +/- 1.3 ka (n=6), with the terminus reaching the inner fiord shortly after 9.4 ka (n=2), where several moraine systems were deposited between ca. 9.4 and ca. 8.4 ca. These moraines represent fluctuations of the LIS during the warmest summers since the last interglaciation, and this suggests that the ice sheet was responding to increased snowfall. Before retreating from the head of Clyde Inlet, the LIS margin fluctuated at least twice between ca. 7.9 and ca. 8.5 ka, possibly in response to the 8.2 ka cold event.

The radiation-sensitive mutant "ric1" has a defect in the repair mechanism of DNA double strand breaks induced by gamma-rays in early embryogenesis. In this study, the new radiation- sensitive Medaka (Oryzias latipes) strain, riclolvas-GFP was established to monitor the development of germ cells in vivo. The development of germ cells was normal in riclolvas-GFP, but embryonic germ cells at Stage 7 (32-cell stage) and Stage 33 (extensive proliferating stage of PGCs) showed higher radiosensitivity. There was no sex difference in germ cell radiosensitivity at Stage 7, but female embryos showed higher radiosensitivity than male at Stage 33. In embryos obtained by crossing ric1 female with olvas-GFP male, germ cells showed similar radiosensitivity to riclolvas-GFP and increased sensitivity compared to embryos obtained from crossing wild-type female with olvas-GFP male at Stage 7. These results suggest that germ cells have the ric1 dependent DNA repair system during embryogenesis and the maternal ric1gene factor may play a critical role in radiosensitivity at an early developmental stage.

TI Advanced compact accelerator neutron generator technology for active neutron interrogation field work SO JOURNAL OF RADIOANALYTICAL AND NUCLEAR CHEMISTRY LA English DT Article ID ACTIVATION ANALYSIS AB Due to a need for security screening instruments capable of detecting explosives and nuclear materials there is growing interest in neutron generator systems suitable for field use for applications broadly referred to as active neutron interrogation (ANI). Over the past two years Thermo Electron Corporation has developed a suite of different compact accelerator neutron generator products specifically designed for ANI field work to meet this demand. These systems incorporate hermetically-sealed particle accelerator tubes designed to produce fast neutrons using either the deuterium-deuterium (E (n) = 2.5 MeV) or deuterium-tritium (E (n) = 14.1 MeV) fusion reactions. Employing next-generation features including advanced sealed-tube accelerator designs, all-digital control electronics and innovative housing configurations these systems are suitable for many different uses. A compact system weighing less than 14 kg (MP 320) with a lifetime exceeding 1000 hours has been developed for portable applications. A system for fixed installations (P 325) has been developed with an operating life exceeding 4500 hours that incorporates specific serviceability features for permanent facilities with difficult-to-access shield blocks. For associated particle imaging (API) investigations a second-generation system (API 120) with an operating life of greater than 1000 hours has been developed for field use in which a high resolution fiber-optic imaging plate is specially configured to take advantage of a neutron point-source spot size of similar to 2 mm.

This paper does not consider the specific radiological circumstances surrounding the tragic death of Mr Litvinenko; rather, it provides an evaluation of published human and animal data and models developed for the estimation of alpha radiation doses from Po-210 and the induction of potentially fatal damage to different organs and tissues. Although uncertainties have not been addressed comprehensively, the reliability of key assumptions is considered. Concentrating on the possibility of intake by ingestion, the use of biokinetic and dosimetric models to estimate organ and tissue doses from Po-210 is examined and model predictions of the time-course of dose delivery are illustrated. Estimates are made of doses required to cause fatal damage, taking account of the possible effects of dose protraction and the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of alpha particles compared to gamma and x-rays. Comparison of LD50 values ( dose to cause death for 50% of people) for different tissues with the possible accumulation of dose to these tissues suggests that bone marrow failure is likely to be an important component of multiple contributory causes of death occurring within a few weeks of an intake by ingestion. Animal data on the effects of Po-210 provide good confirmatory evidence of intakes and doses required to cause death within about 3 weeks. The conclusion is reached that 0.1-0.3 GBq or more absorbed to blood of an adult male is likely to be fatal within 1 month. This corresponds to ingestion of 1-3 GBq or more, assuming 10% absorption to blood. Well-characterised reductions in white cell counts would be observed. Bone marrow failure is likely to be compounded by damage caused by higher doses to other organs, including kidneys and liver. Even if the bone marrow could be rescued, damage to other organs can be expected to prove fatal.

For structure refinements in the nominal space group P4bm, the most dramatic change is evidenced by the a cell edge, which initially expands on cooling, then abruptly begins to contract at 115 K. The c cell edge contracts monotonically. The atomic displacement parameters (ADPs) also deviate from their expected temperature dependence at 115 K, where the oxygen atoms in the vanadium oxide plane exhibit an increase in apparent positional disorder. Similar changes in lattice parameters and ADPs are observed from the single-crystal XRD refinements. Below 115 K, weak superlattice reflections are clearly evident in XRD patterns recorded by a CCD detector, and these extra reflections can be indexed with the wave vector +/- 1/3 < I 10 > * + 1/2c*. Possible space groups for the modulated structure are P4(2)bc and P4nc. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. C1 Oak Ridge Natl Lab, Neutron Scattering Sci Div, Oak Ridge, TN 37831 USA.

X-ray diffraction (XRD) determined the crystalline phase(s) present in each sample. Population, shift, and spin-lattice relaxation P-31 solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements accounted for all the P-31 nuclei expected in each sample, and were able to distinguish between phosphorous nuclei in different environments and phases. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) characterized the morphology and crystallinity of the powder samples as well as of the sintered compacts of the powders. In conjunction with TEM, energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) provided a measure of the composition of the bulk intergranular regions within each CePO4 sample. The presence of an amorphous, phosphate-rich intergranular phase was found in those samples prepared by dissolution of ceria in H3PO4 under various conditions. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc.

Of these three techniques, all-atom simulation is currently the most computationally demanding, in terms of compute load, communication speed, and memory load. Breakthroughs in electrostatic force calculation and dynamic load balancing have enabled molecular dynamics simulations of large biomolecular complexes. Here, we report simulation results for the ribosome, using approximately 2.64 million atoms, the largest all-atom biomolecular simulation published to date. Several other nano-scale systems with different numbers of atoms were studied to measure the performance of the NAMD molecular dynamics simulation program on the Los Alamos National Laboratory Q Machine. We demonstrate that multimillion atom systems represent a 'sweet spot' for the NAMD code on large supercomputers. NAMD displays an unprecedented 85% parallel scaling efficiency for the ribosome system on 1024 CPUs. We also review recent targeted molecular dynamics simulations of the ribosome that prove useful for studying conformational changes of this large biomolecular complex in atomic detail.

Four different polymer systems were examined: a polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) polyacrylonitrile (PAN) bilayer film; a PMMA-blend-PAN microphase-separated film; a poly(MMA-co-AN) copolymer film; and a poly(ethyl cyanoacrylate) homopolymer film. A high level of chemically selective modification was achieved for the PMMA/PAN bilayer; in particular, irradiation at 288.45 eV selectively removed the carbonyl group from PMMA while irradiation at 286.80 eV selectively reduced the nitrile group of PAN, even when these irradiations were carried out at the same (x,y) position of the sample. In the last two homogenous polymer systems, similar amounts of damage to the nitrile and carbonyl groups occurred during irradiation at either 286.80 or 288.45 eV. This is attributed to damage transfer between the C N and C=O groups mediated by primary electrons, secondary electrons or radical/ionic processes, aided by their close spatial proximity. Although the overall thickness of the bilayer sample at 70 nm is smaller than the lateral line spreading of 100 nm, the interface between the layers appears to effectively block the transport of energy, and hence damage, between the two layers. The origins of the line spreading in homogeneous phases and possible origins of the damage blocking effect of the interface are discussed. To demonstrate chemically selective patterning, high-resolution multi-wavelength patterns were created in the PMMA/PAN bilayer system. C1 McMaster Univ, Dept Chem, Hamilton, ON L8S 4M1, Canada.

Michael TI Diffraction-based automated crystal centering SO JOURNAL OF SYNCHROTRON RADIATION LA English DT Article DE crystal alignment and centering; beamline automation ID MACROMOLECULAR CRYSTALLOGRAPHY; PROTEIN CRYSTALS; SYSTEM; BEAMLINE; FIP AB A fully automated procedure for detecting and centering protein crystals in the X-ray beam of a macromolecular crystallography beamline has been developed. A cryo-loop centering routine that analyzes video images with an edge detection algorithm is first used to determine the dimensions of the loop holding the sample; then low-dose X-rays are used to record diffraction images in a grid over the edge and face plane of the loop. A three-dimensional profile of the crystal based on the number of diffraction spots in each image is constructed. The derived center of mass is then used to align the crystal to the X-ray beam. Typical samples can be accurately aligned in similar to 2-3 min. Because the procedure is based on the number of 'good' spots as determined by the program Spotfinder, the best diffracting part of the crystal is aligned to the X-ray beam.

In addition to presenting an effectively parabolic thickness profile, as required for aberration-free refractive optics, these devices allow high transmission and continuous tunability in photon energy and focal length. Furthermore, the use of a single-crystal material (i.e. Si) minimizes small-angle scattering background. The focusing performance of such saw-tooth lenses, used in conjunction with the 1-ID beamline's bent double-Laue monochromator, is presented for both short (similar to 1: 0.02) and long (similar to 1: 0.6) focal-length geometries, giving line-foci in the 2 mu m-25 mu m width range with 81 keV X-rays. In addition, a compound focusing scheme was tested whereby the radiation intercepted by a distant short-focal-length lens is increased by having it receive a collimated beam from a nearer ( upstream) lens. The collimation capabilities of Si saw-tooth lenses are also exploited to deliver enhanced throughput of a subsequently placed small-angular-acceptance high-energy-resolution post-monochromator in the 50-80 keV range. The successful use of such lenses in all these configurations establishes an important detail, that the pre-monochromator, despite being comprised of vertically reflecting bent Laue geometry crystals, can be brilliance-preserving to a very high degree.

TI The effect of CO2 on the speciation of bromine in low-temperature geological solutions: an XANES study SO JOURNAL OF SYNCHROTRON RADIATION LA English DT Article DE XANES; RbBr; CO2; XAS ID RAY-ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY; SYNTHETIC FLUID INCLUSIONS; SUPERCRITICAL WATER; MICELLAR SOLUTIONS; ION; MOLECULES; HYDRATION; PRESSURE; HYDROGEN; SYSTEM AB CO2-rich solutions are common in geological environments. An XANES (X-ray absorption near-edge structure) study of Br in CO2-bearing synthetic fluid inclusions has revealed that Br exhibits a strong pre-edge feature at temperatures from 298 to 423 K. Br in CO2-free solutions does not show such a feature. The feature becomes smaller and disappears as temperature increases, but reappears when temperature is reduced. The size of the feature increases with increasing X(CO2) in the fluid inclusion, where X(CO2) is the mole fraction of CO2 in the solution [n(CO2)/(n(CO2) + n(H2O) + n(RbBr)); n indicates the number of moles]. The pre-edge feature is similar to that shown by covalently bonded Br, but observed and calculated concentrations of plausible Br-bearing covalent compounds (Br-2, CH3Br and HBr) are vanishingly small. An alternative possibility is that CO2 affects the hydration of Br sufficiently that the charge density changes to favour the 1s-p level transitions that are thought to cause the pre-edge peak. The distance between the first two post-edge maxima in the XANES also decreases with increasing X(CO2). This is attributed to a CO2-related decrease in the polarity of the solvent. The proposed causes of the observed features are not integrated into existing geochemical models; thus CO2-bearing solutions could be predicted poorly by such models, with significant consequences for models of geological processes such as ore-formation and metamorphism.

TI Modeling dispersion from toxic gas released after a train collision in Graniteville, SC SO JOURNAL OF THE AIR & WASTE MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION LA English DT Article ID SYSTEM AB The Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) Weather Information and Display System was used to provide meteorological and atmospheric modeling/consequence assessment support to state and local agencies after the collision of two Norfolk Southern freight trains on the morning of January 6, 2005. This collision resulted in the release of several toxic chemicals to the environment, including chlorine. The dense and highly toxic cloud of chlorine gas that formed in the vicinity of the accident was responsible for 9 fatalities and caused injuries to more than 500 others. Transport model results depicting the forecast path of the ongoing release were made available to emergency managers in the county's Unified Command Center shortly after SRNL received a request for assistance. Support continued over the ensuing 2 days of the active response. The SRNL also provided weather briefings and transport/consequence assessment model results to responders from the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control, the Savannah River Site (SRS) Emergency Operations Center, Department of Energy headquarters, and hazard material teams dispatched from the SRS. Operational model-generated forecast winds used in consequence assessments conducted during the incident were provided at 2-km horizontal grid spacing during the accident response. High-resolution Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS, version 4.3.0) simulation was later performed to examine potential influences of local topography on plume migration in greater detail. The detailed RAMS simulation was used to determine meteorology using multiple grids with an innermost grid spacing of 125 in. Results from the two simulations are shown to generally agree with meteorological observations at the time; consequently, local topography did not significantly affect wind in the area. Use of a dense gas dispersion model to simulate localized plume behavior using the higher-resolution winds indicated agreement with fatalities in the immediate area and visible damage to vegetation.

The glass ceramics are based on europium-doped fluorozirconate glasses, which were additionally doped with chlorine to initiate the nucleation of barium chloride nanoparticles therein. The X-ray image is stored in the form of stable electron-hole pairs, which can be read out afterwards with a scanning laser beam in a "photostimulated luminescence" (PSL) process. Measurements of the required stimulating exposure, integrated PSL signal, and optical light spreading of the stimulating laser light were performed to allow projection of the detective quantum efficiency (DQE) for the proposed X-ray storage phosphor system. The projected DQE is compared with commercially available electronic mammography systems. C1 Argonne Natl Lab, Argonne, IL 60439 USA. Univ Paderborn, Fac Sci, Dept Phys, D-33095 Paderborn, Germany.

In both materials, denoted AYL and AYLS, alumina is the dominant component (> 50 mole%), and the lanthana:yttria ratio is similar to 2:1. A variety of experimental techniques, e.g. X-ray diffraction, high-field Al-27 magic angle spinning-nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS-NMR), differential scanning calorimetry, and neutron diffraction, were used to analyze both the structure of the amorphous phases resulting from liquid-phase processing and subsequent thermal treatments, and the thermodynamic properties of the as-made and heat-treated materials. The results of the experiments on these glasses and liquids have elucidated the nature of the transitions occurring between the glass transition and crystalline regimes, and have enabled the synthesis of a novel class of alumina-based nanomaterials.

TI Micro-plasticity of surface steps under adhesive contact: Part I - Surface yielding controlled by single-dislocation nucleation SO JOURNAL OF THE MECHANICS AND PHYSICS OF SOLIDS LA English DT Article DE contact mechanics; surface micro-plasticity; dislocation model; surface tensile layer formation; surface step ID STRAIN GRADIENT PLASTICITY; CONSERVATION LAWS; ASPERITY CONTACTS; CRACK-TIP; SLIP; ENERGY; INTENSITY; FRICTION; SPHERES; SOLIDS AB Mechanics of nano- and meso-scale contacts of rough surfaces is of fundamental importance in understanding deformation and failure mechanisms of a solid surface, and in engineering fabrication and reliability of small surface structures. We present a micro-mechanical dislocation model of contact-induced deformation of a surface step or ledge, as a unit process model to construct a mesoscale model of plastic deformations near and at a rough surface. This paper (Part 1) considers onset of contact-induced surface yielding controlled by single-dislocation nucleation from a surface step. The Stroh formalism of anisotropic elasticity and conservation integrals are used to evaluate the driving force on the dislocation. The driving force together with a dislocation nucleation criterion is used to construct a contact-strength map of a surface step in terms of contact pressure, step height, surface adhesion and lattice resistance. Atomistic simulations of atomic surface-step indentation on a gold (100) surface have been also carried out with the embedded atom method. As predicted by the continuum dislocation model, the atomistic simulations also indicate that surface adhesion plays a significant role in dislocation nucleation processes. Instabilities due to adhesion and dislocation nucleation are evident. The atomistic simulation is used to calibrate the continuum dislocation nucleation criterion, while the continuum dislocation modeling captures the dislocation energetics in the inhomogeneous stress field of the surface-step under contact loading. Results show that dislocations in certain slip planes can be easily nucleated but will stay in equilibrium positions very to the surface step, while dislocations in some other slip planes easily move away from the surface into the bulk. This phenomenon is called contact-induced near-surface dislocation segregation. As a consequence, we predict the existence of a thin tensile-stress sub-layer adjacent to the surface within the boundary layer of near-surface plastic deformation. In the companion paper (Part II), we analyze the surface hardening behavior caused by multiple dislocations. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

At the Fort Benning Military Installation (near Columbus, Georgia), spatial variability in intensity of military training results in a wide range of intensities of upland disturbance in stream catchments. A set of 8 streams in catchments spanning this upland disturbance gradient was selected for investigation of the impact of disturbance intensity on hydrodynamics and nutrient uptake. The size of transient storage zones and rates of NH4+ uptake in all study streams were among the lowest reported in the literature. Upland disturbance did not appear to influence stream hydrodynamics strongly, but it caused significant decreases in instream nutrient uptake. In October 2003, coarse woody debris (CWD) was added to (2)/(1) of the study streams (spanning the disturbance gradient) in an attempt to increase hydrodynamic and structural complexity, with the goals of enhancing biotic habitat and increasing nutrient uptake rates. CWD additions had positive short-term (within 1 mo) effects on hydrodynamic complexity (water velocity decreased and transient Storage zone cross-sectional area, relative size of the transient storage zone, fraction of the median travel time attributable to transient storage over a standardized length of 200 m, and the hydraulic retention factor increased) and nutrient uptake (NH4+ uptake rates increased). Our results suggest that water quality in streams with intense upland disturbances can be improved by enhancing instream biotic nutrient uptake capacity through measures such as restoring stream CWD.

Besides these two chirps, the FEL interaction introduces an intrinsic frequency chirp in the FEL even if the above-mentioned two chirps are absent. We examine the interplay of these three chirps. The problem is formulated as an initial value problem and solved via a Green function approach. Besides the chirp evolution, we also give analytical expressions for the pulse duration and bandwidth of the FEL, which remains fully longitudinally coherent in the high-gain exponential growth regime. Because the chirps are normally introduced for a final compression of the FEL pulse, some conceptual issues are discussed. We show that to get a short pulse duration, an energy chirp in the electron beam is important. (c) 2007 Optical Society of America.

The FW components must be able to survive the harsh plasma environment for extended periods of time. One proposed method for initial fabrication and repair of FW components is plasma spraying. Previous plasma-sprayed beryllium mock-up FW components had coating separation from the substrate at the edges. The present work describes experiments to produce beryllium mock-up FW components by plasma spray deposition on macro-roughened substrates. Experimental parameters, high heat flux testing and characterization results from the components are presented. No separation of the coating from the substrate was observed. Results of high heat flux testing under electron beam irradiation show performance exceeding that required for ITER FW components. Differences in macro-roughening features result in changes in the threshold absorbed heat flux before damage to the coatings occurs. C1 Los Alamos Natl Lab, Div Mat Sci, Los Alamos, NM 87544 USA.

TI Sputtering yield measurements at glancing incidence using a quartz crystal microbalance SO JOURNAL OF VACUUM SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY A LA English DT Article ID ION-BOMBARDMENT; RESONATORS; DEPENDENCE; ENERGIES; METALS; ANGLE AB Low energy sputtering yields at grazing incidence have been investigated experimentally using a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) technique. This method involved precoating the QCM with a thin film of the desired target material and relating the resonance frequency shift directly to mass loss during ion bombardment. A highly focused, low divergence ion beam provided a well defined incidence angle. Focusing most of the ion current on the center of the target allowed for higher sensitivity by taking into account the radial mass sensitivity of the QCM. Measurements of Mo, Cu, and W sputtering yields were taken for low energy (80-1000 eV) Xe+ and Ar+ to validate this experimental method. The target films ranged from 3.5 to 8.0 mu m in thickness and were deposited so that their crystal structure and density would. match those of the bulk material as closely as possible. These properties were characterized using a combination of scanning electron microscope imagery, profilometry, and x-ray diffraction. At normal incidence, the sputtering yields demonstrated satisfactory agreement with previously published work. At angles of incidence up to 40 degrees off normal, the data agreed well with predictions from existing theoretical models. Sputtering yields were found to increase by a factor of 1.6 over this range. The optimum angle for sputtering occurred at 55 degrees, after which the yields rapidly decreased. Measurements were taken up to 80 degrees from the surface normal. (c) 2007 American Vacuum Society. C1 CALTECH, Dept Mech Engn, Pasadena, CA 91125 USA.

TI Anisotropic resistivity of thin films due to quantum electron scattering from anisotropic surface roughness SO JOURNAL OF VACUUM SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY A LA English DT Article ID ULTRATHIN METALLIC-FILMS; VACUUM-ARC; PLATINUM; CONDUCTIVITY; TRANSPORT; DEPOSITION; SRTIO3 AB Platinum thin films with thickness in the range of 0.4-12 nm were formed by filtered vacuum arc plasma deposition on a substrate with anisotropic roughness. The electrical resistivity was measured in directions parallel and perpendicular to the surface modulation as a function of film thickness, and the resistivity was found to be anisotropic with the degree of anisotropy increasing with decreasing film thickness. The very small thickness of the films calls for a quantum model for film resistivity, and it is shown that the measured resistivity can be interpreted as due to quantum electron scattering by the thin film anisotropic surface roughness.

TI Role of Cu on the electrical properties of CdTe/CdS solar cells: A cross-sectional conductive atomic force microscopy study SO JOURNAL OF VACUUM SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY B LA English DT Article ID THIN-FILMS; BACK-CONTACT; CADMIUM TELLURIDE AB The authors have studied the electrical properties of CdTe/CdS solar cells using conductive atomic force microscopy (C-AFM) applied to cross sections of the device. This novel technique uses the sharp tip of an atomic force microscope to contact the sample and apply an electrical potential, allowing the study of device properties with spatial resolution second to none. The CdTe/CdS/SnO2/substrate structures were treated with CdCl2 and etched with bromine/methanol or nitric/phosphoric acid solution. Finally, a Cu-containing back contact was applied to the surface of the device. The C-AFM analysis showed the existence of high-conductivity regions in CdTe close to the film surface, while the regions close to the junction with CdS remain resistive. The width of the conductive area in general varied laterally and, occasionally, reached the junction in some spots, causing microshunts in the devices. By analyzing the fracture of the cross sections, they observed that the conductive areas are concentrated at grain-boundary regions, whereas the interior of the grains is resistive. Analysis of samples without a Cu-containing back contact revealed that the conductive areas are caused by the diffusion of Cu from the back contact into the CdTe. The conductive layers directly affect the current transport in the device and impose a minimum CdTe thickness to prevent short-circuit problems. (c) 2007 American Vacuum Society.

TI Electron-beam focusing characteristics of double-gated carbon nanofiber based field emission sources SO JOURNAL OF VACUUM SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY B LA English DT Article ID EMITTER ARRAYS; FABRICATION; SILICON AB Recently, vertically aligned carbon nanofiber based dual-gate field emission structures have been fabricated for use in parallel electron-beam lithography, and their electron-beam focus adjustment capability has been demonstrated. This article summarizes the results of a numerical investigation of device behavior due to geometry variation in an effort to better understand device characteristics and performance. The effect of electrode thickness on minimum beam diameter and depth of field (DOF) were investigated for axially symmetric structures using a two-dimensional simulation package. The results indicate both a decrease in minimum spot size from similar to 30 to similar to 20 nm, and an increase in DOF from similar to 1 to similar to 6 mu m when the focus electrode thickness is increased from 100 to 500 nm. The impact of misalignments of the focus electrode and the carbon nanofiber on the beam behavior was investigated with a three-dimensional simulation package. Results show that reasonably well-converged beams can be achieved even with considerable offset to either the focus electrode or carbon nanofiber, though large beam deflections are produced. In addition, the deflections due to these offsets appear to be linear. (c) 2007 American Vacuum Society. C1 Oak Ridge Natl Lab, Oak Ridge, TN 37831 USA. Univ Tennessee, Knoxville, TN 37996 USA.

TI Integration of a dose control circuit with a vertically aligned nanofiber field emission device SO JOURNAL OF VACUUM SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY B LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 19th International Vacuum Nanoelectronics Conference CY JUL 17-20, 2006 CL Guilin, PEOPLES R CHINA SP AVS, Electron Devices Soc, IEEE, Minist Educ China, Natl Nat Sci Fdn China, Sun Yatsen Univ ID BEAM ARRAY LITHOGRAPHY; CARBON AB This article presents the integration of a dose control circuit (DCC) with vertically aligned carbon nanofiber (VACNF) field emission devices through a voltage boost up interface circuit for the implementation of the digital electrostatically focused e-beam array direct-write lithography concept. The VACNFs act as diodes with high turn on voltage (similar to 70 V). Commercially available complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor technology is not capable of handling such magnitude of voltages. The voltage boost up interface circuit described in this article offers an efficient technique to shift the voltage level to a level adequate to start the emission of electron from the tips of the VACNFs. The integration of the DCC with the VACNF emitters via a voltage boost up interface circuit presented in this article facilitates the operation of the VACNFs for etching in maskless lithography while providing precise control of emission.

Serotype-specific antibodies from rabbit and guinea pig hyperimmunesera were isolated and prepared for use in a multiplexed, bead-based assay. The performance of all of the available antibodies as both capture and detector reagents was evaluated in the multiplexed system to establish a combination exhibiting the highest homotypic responses and lowest heterotypic reactions. The multiplexed assay was evaluated against inactivated cell culture supernatant samples of the same subtype as the virus used to raise the capture and detector antibodies. Distinct serotype differentiation was observed, except in the case of serotype SAT1. Subsequently, cell culture supernatant samples from a larger pool of viral subtypes were analyzed. Distinct serotype differentiation was obtained when analyzing cell culture supernatant samples from viral serotypes C, Asia, and SAT3, irrespective of the subtype. However, limitations of the current antibody pairs were realized in some inconclusive results obtained when analyzing samples from a broader range of O, A, and SAT2 subtypes. The results obtained in this initial study will be used to further optimize the assay using polyvalent or monoclonal antibodies and move toward the analysis of clinical samples.

Early cone building by Strombolian bursts was accompanied by development of a fan-like lava field reaching similar to 800 m distance from the cone, built upon a gently sloping surface. Lava flows carried rafts of cone deposits, which provide indirect evidence for cone facies in lieu of direct exposures in the active quarry. Subsequent activity was of a violent Strombolian nature, with many episodes of sustained eruption columns up to a few km in height. These deposited layers of scoria lapilli and ash in different directions depending upon wind direction at the time of a given episode, reaching up to similar to 20 km from the vent, and also produced the bulk of the scoria cone. Lava effusion migrated from south to north around the eastern base of the cone as accumulation of lavas successively reversed the topography at the base of the cone. Late lavas were emplaced during violent Strornbolian activity and continued for some time after explosive eruptions had waned. Volumes of the eruptive products are: fallout -0.07 km(3), scoria cone -0.02 km(3), and lavas - 0.03 km(3). Shallow-derived xenolith concentrations suggest an upper bound on average conduit diameter of - 21 m in the uppermost 335 in beneath the volcano. The volcano was constructed over a period of at least seven months with cone building occurring only during part of that time, based upon analogy with historical eruptions. Post-eruptive geomorphic evolution varied for the three main surface types that were produced by volcanic activity: (1) scoria cone, (2) low relief surfaces (including lavas) with abundant pyroclastic material, and (3) lavas with little pyroclastic material. The role of these different initial textures must be accounted for in estimating relative ages of volcanic surfaces, and failure to account for this resulted in previous erroneous interpretation that the volcano's activity was polycyclic (eruptions separated by 1000s-10,000s of years). Lathrop Wells volcano provides an example of the wide range of eruptive processes that can occur with little change in major element composition; the variation in explosive and effusive processes, including their simultaneous occurrence, must result entirely from fluid dynamic, crystallization, and degassing processes in the ascending multiphase magma. The volcano also provides key analog information regarding processes that are important for volcanic risk assessment at the proposed Yucca Mountain radioactive waste repository, - 18 km north of the volcano.

Furthermore, by controlling the thickness of light ions on the rear of the target, monoenergetic ion pulses call be generated. The spectral shape of the accelerated particles call be controlled to yield a range of distributions, from Maxwellian to ones possessing a rnonoenergetic peak at high energy. The key lies in understanding and utilizing target surface chemistry. Careful monitoring and control of the surface properties and induction of reactions at different temperatures allows well defined source layers to be formed, which in turn lead to the desired energy spectra in the acceleration process. Theoretical considerations provide understanding of the process of monoenergetic ion production. In addition, numerical modeling has identified a new acceleration mechanism, the laser break-out afterburner that could potentially boost particle energies by up to two orders of magnitude for the same laser parameters. This mechanism may enable application of laser-accelerated ion beams to venues such as compact accelerators, tumor therapy, and ion fast ignition. C1 Los Alamos Natl Lab, Los Alamos, NM 87545 USA.

TI Multiply ionized carbon plasmas with index of refraction greater than one SO LASER AND PARTICLE BEAMS LA English DT Article DE anomalous index of refraction; interferometry; soft X-ray laser ID X-RAY LASER; INTERFEROMETRY; NM; DIAGNOSTICS; GENERATION; MIRROR AB For decades the analysis of interferometry have relied on the approximation that the index of refraction in plasmas is due solely to the free electrons. This general assumption makes the index of refraction always less than one. However, recent soft x-ray laser interferometry experiments with Aluminum plasmas at wavelengths of 14.7 nm and 13.9 nm have shown fringes that bend the opposite direction than would be expected when using that approximation. Analysis of the data demonstrated that this effect is due to bound electrons that contribute significantly to the index of refraction of multiply ionized plasmas, and that this should be encountered in other plasmas at different wavelengths. Recent studies of Silver and Tin plasmas using a 46.9 nm probe beam generated by a Ne-like Ar capillary discharge soft-ray laser identified plasmas with an index of refraction greater than one, as was predicted by computer calculations. In this paper we present new interferometric results obtained with Carbon plasmas at 46.9 nm probe wavelength that clearly show plasma regions with an index of refraction greater than one. Computations Suggest that in this case the phenomenon is due to the dominant contribution of bound electrons from doubly ionized carbon ions to the index of refraction. The results reaffirm that bound electrons can strongly influence the index of refraction Of numerous plasmas over a broad range of soft x-ray wavelengths.

The model takes into account plasma heat conduction and magnetohydrodynamic processes in a two-temperature approximation, as well as detailed photon radiation transport in 3D Monte Carlo model. The model employs cylindrical 2D version of a total variation-diminishing scheme (for the plasma hydrodynamics) and an implicit scheme with the sparse matrix linear solver (to describe heat conduction).

In this paper, we derive an alternative algebraic/geometric method for placing objects in space to facilitate information analysis.

To achieve this it will be essential to be able to characterize the phenotypic consequences of variation and alterations in individual genes. Data on the phenotypes of mouse strains are currently held in a number of different forms (detailed descriptions of mouse lines, first-line phenotyping data on novel mutations, data on the normal features of inbred lines) at many sites worldwide. For the most efficient use of these data sets, we have initiated a process to develop standards for the description of phenotypes (using ontologies) and file formats for the description of phenotyping protocols and phenotype data sets. This process is ongoing and needs to be supported by the wider mouse genetics and phenotyping communities to succeed. We invite interested parties to contact us as we develop this process further.

Oryzalin (0.5, 0.25 mg/l) or Surflan (TM) (2.0 mu l/l) and oryzalin (0.5 mg/l) significantly increased the mean number of non-fertilized eggs produced by treated females paired with untreated males, or by untreated females paired with treated males. Oryzalin (1.0, 0.5, 0.25 mg/l) and Surflan (TM) (3.8, 2.0, 1.0 mu l/l) significantly affected the time to hatch of eggs from treated females paired with untreated males, and from untreated females paired with treated males. Surflan (TM) (3.8, 2.0, 1.0 mu l/l) induced intersex lesions in 80-100% of males. Oryzalin-exposed males exhibited a significant increase in the incidence of necrotic spermatids and necrotic spermatogonia, while oryzalin-exposed females had significantly fewer immature oocytes and an increase in the occurrence of hyperplastic ovaries. Our results indicate that Surflan (TM) and oryzalin affect both reproduction and gonadal histology in mate and female medaka. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The key advance is the use of coarse-scale serial sectioning to determine the angle made by the grain or twin boundary to the plane of polish, so an explicit stereological correction to the precipitate thickness can be made. This technique is applied to the thickening of bainite at the bay temperature of Fe-0.24C-4Mo, where grain boundary bainite growth kinetics had been measured previously in much thinner specimens using the "bamboo-specimen" method developed by Bradley et al. Several key assumptions implicit in the "bamboo-specimen" method are critically examined using the data obtained from this new technique. Twin boundary bainite growth thickening kinetics, which cannot be obtained using the bamboo method, are also obtained for the first time, and are measured in the same steel. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc.

All these molybdates crystallise in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c. The maximum values of x for R=Er, Y, Ho and Dy were found to be 0.6, 0.4, 0.4 and 0.0 respectively. The thermal expansion properties of R2Mo4O15 and R1.8Nd0.2Mo4O15 (R=Er, Y, Ho, Dy) were studied using high temperature X-ray diffraction in the range 25-500 degrees C. Nd substitution increased the thermal expansion coefficient (TEC); for x=0.2, the TEC for R1.8Nd0.2Mo4O15 increases by 27.9, 6.0 and 3.2% for R=Er, Y and Ho respectively. Bond length analysis shows that the weak Mo2 center dot center dot center dot O14 bond is likely to control the thermal expansion behaviour of these molybdates.

F82H is the RAF which has been developed and studied in Japan, and F82H-IEA heat, one of the world's first 5 ton heats of RAF, was provided and evaluated in various countries as a part of the IEA collaboration on fusion materials development. A problem with the steel is that some fracture toughness values obtained by IT type of compact tension (ITCT) specimens showed very low values in ductile brittle transition region. There might be several reasons for the scatter, and one of them could be related to the microstructural inhomogeneity of F82H-IEA. In the present study, this possibility was investigated focusing on inclusions formed in a plate of F82H-IEA steel by scanning (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) equipped with EDS. The plates examined in this study were obtained from F82H-IEA heat no. 9753, nominally Fe-7.5Cr-2W-0.15V-0.02Ta-0.1C, in mass%. Analyses by SEM and TEM for the plates revealed that Ta does not form MX precipitates, but instead, it forms composite Al2O3 - Ta(V,Ti)O oxide, or single phase Ta(V)O oxide. The composite inclusions are rather dominant in the plate obtained from the bottom of the ingot, but not in the plate from the middle of the ingot. SEM observations also revealed that composite oxide tended to be observed at the crack-initiation site. These results suggest that the scatter of toughness values may be correlated with this microstructural inhomogeneity. C1 Japan Atom Energy Agcy, Naka Fus Inst, Tokai, Ibaraki 3191195, Japan.

Cost-effectiveness analysis traditionally focuses on identifying when treatments are cost-effective based on their average benefits and costs in the population. However, there may be considerable value in identifying when treatments are cost-effective for individual patients given their preferences or other personal attributes. Objectives. To present a theoretical framework to assess the potential value of identifying cost-effective treatments for individual patients given their preferences and to compare the value of individualized treatment decisions with the value of treatment decisions based on traditional population-level cost-effectiveness analysis. Methods. The authors calculate the expected value of individualized care (EVIC), which represents the potential value of providing physicians information on the preferences of individual patients, such as quality-of-life (QOL) weights, so as to make individualized treatment decisions. They also show how EVIC varies with insurance structures that do not internalize relative costs of treatments. They illustrate this theory using an example in which physicians make treatment choices for 65-year-old prostate cancer patients. Results. The value of identifying cost-effective treatments at the individual level for 65-year-old prostate cancer patients in the United States is about $70 million annually. This is more than 100 times the $0.7 million annual value of identifying the cost-effective treatment on average for this population. However, failure to internalize costs almost eliminates the value of individualized care: Conclusions. The value of individualizing care can be far greater than the value of improved decision making at the group level. However, this can vary immensely with insurance. EVIC can provide a guide as to when the high value of individualized care may make population-level decision making especially at risk of providing poor guidance for coverage decisions. Future studies of the value of individualized care should also consider baseline levels of individualization of care.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae produces FPP through the mevalonate pathway using acetyl-CoA as a starting compound. In order to enhance the supply of acetyl-CoA to the mevalonate pathway and achieve high-level production of amorphadiene, we engineered the pyruvate dehydrogenase bypass in S. cerevisiae. Overproduction of acetaldehyde dehydrogenase and introduction of a Salmonella enterica acetyl-CoA synthetase variant increased the carbon flux into the mevalonate pathway resulting in increased amorphadiene production. This work will be generally applicable to the production of a broad range of isoprenoids in yeast. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

However, in transferring large pathways to alternate hosts and manipulating expression levels, the native regulation of carbon flux through the pathway may be lost leading to imbalances in the pathways. Previously, Escherichia coli was engineered to produce large quantities of isoprenoids by creating a mevalonate-based isopentenyl pyrophosphate biosynthetic pathway [Martin, V.J., Pitera, D.J., Withers, S.T., Newman, J.D., Keasling, J.D., 2003. Engineering a mevalonate pathway in Escherichia coli for production of terpenoids. Nat. Biotechnol. 21, 796-802]. The strain produces high levels of isoprenoids, but upon further investigation we discovered that the accumulation of pathway intermediates limited flux and that high-level expression of the mevalonate pathway enzymes inhibited cell growth. Gene titration studies and metabolite profiling using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry linked the growth inhibition phenotype with the accumulation of the pathway intermediate 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA). Such an accumulation implies that the activity of HMG-CoA reductase was insufficient to balance flux in the engineered pathway. By modulating HMG-CoA reductase production, we eliminated the pathway bottleneck and increased mevalonate production. These results demonstrate that balancing carbon flux through the heterologous pathway is a key determinant in optimizing isoprenoid biosynthesis in microbial hosts. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc.

Clustering objects on subsets of attributes. J. R. Statist. Soc. B 66, 1-25.) for unsupervised analysis of complex data sets. We demonstrate its usefulness in medical systems biology studies. Examples of metabolomics analyses are described as well as the unsupervised clustering based on the study of disease pathology and intervention effects in rats and humans. In comparison to principal components analysis and hierarchical clustering based on Euclidean distance, COSA shows an enhanced capability to trace partial similarities in groups of objects enabling a new discovery approach in systems biology as well as offering a unique approach to reveal common denominators of complex multi-factorial diseases in animal and human studies.

TI Direct observations of sigma phase formation in duplex stainless steels using in-situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction SO METALLURGICAL AND MATERIALS TRANSACTIONS A-PHYSICAL METALLURGY AND MATERIALS SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID NI AUSTENITIC STEELS; HEAT-AFFECTED ZONE; MICROSTRUCTURAL STABILITY; MECHANICAL-PROPERTIES; AGING TREATMENTS; PRECIPITATION; TRANSFORMATIONS; TUNGSTEN; TI-6AL-4V; TOUGHNESS AB The formation and growth of sigma (sigma) phase in 2205 duplex stainless steel (DSS) was observed and measured in real time using synchrotron radiation during 10 hour isothermal heat treatments at temperatures between 700 degrees C and 850 degrees C. Sigma formed in near-equilibrium quantities during the isothermal holds, starting from a microstructure which contained a balanced mixture of metastable ferrite and austenite. In-situ synchrotron diffraction continuously monitored the transformation, and these results were compared to those predicted by thermodynamic calculations. The data were further analyzed using a modified Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogrov (JMAK) approach to determine kinetic parameters for sigma formation over this temperature range. The initial JMAK exponent, n, at low fractions of sigma was found to be approximately 7.0; however, toward the end of the transformation, n decreased to values of approximately 0.75. The change in the JMAK exponent was attributed to a change in the transformation mechanism from discontinuous precipitation with increasing nucleation rate, to growth of the existing sigma phase after nucleation site saturation occurred. Because of this change in mechanism, it was not possible to determine reliable values for the activation energy and pre-exponential terms for the JMAK equation. While cooling back to room temperature, the partial transformation of austenite resulted in a substantial increase in the ferrite content, but sigma retained its high-temperature value to room temperature.

Michael TI Modification of the atmospheric boundary layer by a small island: observations from Nauru SO MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW LA English DT Article ID WAKE; CLOUDS; FLOW AB Nauru, a small island in the tropical Pacific, generates cloud plumes that may grow to over 100-km lengths. This study uses observations to examine the mesoscale disturbance of the marine atmospheric boundary layer by the island that produces these cloud plumes. Observations of the surface layer were made from two ships in the vicinity of Nauru and from instruments on the island. The structure of the atmospheric boundary layer over the island was investigated using aircraft flights. Cloud production over Nauru was examined using remote sensing instruments. The diurnal cycles of surface meteorology and radiation are characterized at a point near the west (downwind) coast of Nauru. The spatial variation of surface meteorology and radiation are also examined using surface and aircraft measurements. During the day, the island surface layer is warmer than the marine surface layer and wind speed is tower than over the ocean. Surface heating forces the growth of a thermal internal boundary layer, within which a plume of cumulus clouds forms. Cloud production begins early in the morning over the ocean near the island's lee shore; as heating intensifies during the day, cloud production moves upwind over Nauru. These clouds form a plume that may extend over 100 km downwind of Nauru. Aircraft observations showed that a plume of warm, dry air develops over the island that extends 15-20 km downwind before dissipating. Limited observations suggest that the cloud plume may be sustained farther downwind of Nauru by a pair of convective rolls. Suggestions for further investigation of the cloud plume are made.

This process is considered to be conservative and error-free, since no information is generally altered during reciprocal interchange by homologous recombination. Upon the advent of non-radiolabel detection methods for SCE, such events were used as genetic indicators for potential genotoxins/mutagens in laboratory toxicology tests, since, as we now know, most forms of DNA damage induce chromatid exchange upon replication fork collapse. Much of our present understanding of the mechanisms of SCE stems from studies involving nonhuman vertebrate cell lines that are defective in processes of DNA repair and/or recombination. In this article, we present a historical perspective of studies spearheaded by Dr. Anthony V. Carrano and colleagues focusing on SCE as a genetic outcome, and the role of the single-strand break DNA repair protein XRCC1 in suppressing SCE. A more general overview of the cellular processes and key protein "effectors" that regulate the manifestation of SCE is also presented. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V All rights reserved.

TI Mutagenic potency of food-derived heterocyclic amines SO MUTATION RESEARCH-FUNDAMENTAL AND MOLECULAR MECHANISMS OF MUTAGENESIS LA English DT Article DE heterocyclic amines; mutagenic potency; QSAR ID HYDROPATHIC FACTORS; COOKING AB The understanding of mutagenic potency has been primarily approached using "quantitative structure-activity relationships" QSAR). Often this method allows the prediction of mutagenic potency of the compound based on its structure. But it does not give the underlying reason why the mutagenic activities differ. We have taken a set of heterocyclic amine structures and used molecular dynamic calculations to dock these molecules into the active site of a computational model of the cytochrome P4501A2 enzyme. The calculated binding strength using Boltzman distribution constants was then compared to the QSAR value (HF/6-31G* optimized structures) and the Ames/Salmonella mutagenic potency. Further understanding will only come from knowing the complete set of mutagenic determinants. These include the nitreniurn ion half-life, DNA adduct half-life, efficiency of repair of the adduct, and ultimately fixation of the mutation through cellular processes. For two isomers, PHIP and 3-Me-PhIP, we showed that for the 100-fold difference in the mutagenic potency a 5-fold difference can be accounted for by differences in the P450 oxidation. The other factor of 20 is not clearly understood but is downstream from the oxidation step. The application of QSAR (chemical characteristics) to biological principles related to mutagenesis is explored in this report. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

TI Comparison of the genetic effects of equimolar doses of ENU and MNU: While the chemicals differ dramatically in their mutagenicity in stem-cell spermatogonia, both elicit very high mutation rates in differentiating spermatogonia SO MUTATION RESEARCH-FUNDAMENTAL AND MOLECULAR MECHANISMS OF MUTAGENESIS LA English DT Article DE mouse; mutagenesis; specific-locus mutations; germ-cell stage; ethylnitrosourea (ENU); methylnitrosourea (MNU); spermatogonia ID UNCONVENTIONAL MYOSIN-VA; LACZ TRANSGENIC MICE; ETHYL-N-NITROSOUREA; LOCUS MUTATIONS; MOUSE SPERMATOGONIA; GERM-CELLS; METHYL-NITROSOUREA; MOLECULAR ANALYSIS; REGION MUTATIONS; DELETION COMPLEX AB Mutagenic, reproductive, and toxicity effects of two closely related chemicals, ethyinitrosourea (ENU) and methyinitrosourea (XINU), were compared at equimolar and near-equimolar doses in the mouse specific-locus test in a screen of all stages of spermatogenesis and spermiogenesis. In stem-cell spermatogonia (SG), ENU is more than an order of magnitude more mutagenic than MNU. During post-SG stages, both chemicals exhibit high peaks in mutation yield when differentiating spermatogonia (DG) and preleptotene spermatocytes are exposed. The mutation frequency induced by 75 mg MNU/kg during this peak interval is, to date, the highest induced by any single-exposure mutagenic treatment - chemical or radiation - that allows survival of the exposed animal and its germ cells, producing an estimated 10 new mutations per genome. There is thus a vast difference between stem cell and differentiating spermatogonia in their sensitivity to MNU, but little difference between these stages in their sensitivity to ENU. During stages following meiotic metaphase, the highest mutation yield is obtained from exposed spennatids, but for both chemicals, that yield is less than one-quarter that obtained from the peak interval. Large-lesion (LL) mutations were induced only in spermatids. Although only a few of the remaining mutations were analyzed molecularly, there is considerable evidence from recent molecular characterizations of the marker genes and their flanking chromosomal regions that most, if not all, mutations induced during the peak-sensitive period did not involve lesions outside the marked loci. Both ENU and MNU treatments of post-SG stages yielded significant numbers of mutants that were recovered as mosaics, with the proportion being higher for ENU than for MNU. Comparing the chemicals for the endpoints studied and additional ones (e.g., chromosome aberrations, toxicity to germ cells and to animals, teratogenicity) revealed that while XINU is generally more effective, the opposite is true when the target cells are SG.

TI Exploration of methods to identify polymorphisms associated with variation in DNA repair capacity phenotypes SO MUTATION RESEARCH-FUNDAMENTAL AND MOLECULAR MECHANISMS OF MUTAGENESIS LA English DT Article DE polymorphism; DNA repair; phenotype; genotype ID ACID SUBSTITUTION VARIANTS; GENETIC-VARIATION; RISK; CANCER; HUMANS; DAMAGE; SUSCEPTIBILITY; HERITABILITY; REGRESSION AB Elucidating the relationship between polymorphic sequences and risk of common disease is a challenge. For example, although it is clear that variation in DNA repair genes is associated with familial cancer, aging and neurological disease, progress toward identifying polymorphisms associated with elevated risk of sporadic disease has been slow. This is partly due to the complexity of the genetic variation, the existence of large numbers of mostly low frequency variants and the contribution of many genes to variation in susceptibility. There has been limited development of methods to find associations between genotypes having many polymorphisms and pathway function or health outcome. We have explored several statistical methods for identifying polymorphisms associated with variation in DNA repair phenotypes. The model system used was 80 cell lines that had been resequenced to identify variation; 191 single nucleotide substitution polymorphisms (SNPs) are included, of which 172 are in 31 base excision repair pathway genes, 19 in 5 anti-oxidation genes, and DNA repair phenotypes based on single strand breaks measured by the alkaline Comet assay. Univariate analyses were of limited value in identifying SNPs associated with phenotype variation. Of the multivariable model selection methods tested: the easiest that provided reduced error of prediction of phenotype was simple counting of the variant alleles predicted to encode proteins with reduced activity, which led to a genotype including 52 SNPs; the best and most parsimonious model was achieved using a two-step analysis without regard to potential functional relevance: first SNPs were ranked by importance determined by random forests regression (RFR), followed by cross-validation in a second round of RFR modeling that included ever more SNPs in declining order of importance. With this approach six SNPs were found to minimize prediction error. The results should encourage research into utilization of multivariate analytical methods for epidemiological studies of the association of genetic variation in complex genotypes with risk of common diseases.

We experimentally created multi-terminal junctions containing 1D carbon blocks in order to study the most common morphologies and branched structures that could be used in the theoretical design of network models. We found that the mechanical and electronic characteristics of ordered networks based on carbon nanotubes (ON-CNTs) are dominated by their specific super-architecture (hexagonal, cubic, square, and diamond-type). We show that charges follow specific paths through the nodes of the multi-terminal systems, which could result in complex integrated nanoelectronic circuits. The 3D architectures reveal their ability to support extremely high unidirectional stress when their mechanical properties are studied. In addition, these networks are shown to perform better than standard carbon aerogels because of their low mass densities, continuous porosities, and high surface areas.

We investigated the intracellular distribution of nanoconjugates composed of DNA oligonucleotides attached to TiO2 nanoparticles, thus creating a locally increased concentration of the oligonucleotide. Two types of nanoconjugates, with oligonucleotides matching mitochondrial or nucleolar DNA, were specifically retained in mitochondria or nucleoli.

These materials have the merits of a high density of binding sites on the tubular surfaces without the adverse effects of metal clustering. Using the TiB(2) (8,0) and (5,5) nanotubes as prototype examples, we show through first-principles calculations that each Ti atom can host two intact H(2) units, leading to a retrievable hydrogen storage capacity of 5.5 wt %. Most strikingly, the binding energies fall in the desirable range of 0.2-0.6 eV per H(2) molecule, endowing these structures with the potential for room-temperature, near-ambient-pressure applications.

Positively charged C-60-NH2 at concentrations as low as 10 mg/L inhibited growth and reduced substrate uptake for both microorganisms. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed damage to cellular structures. Neutrally charged C-60 and C-60-OH had mild negative effects on S. oneidensis MR-1, whereas the negatively charged C-60-COOH did not affect either microorganism's growth. The effect of fullerene compounds on global metabolism was further investigated using [3-C-13]L-lactate isotopic labeling, which tracks perturbations to metabolic reaction rates in bacteria by examining the change in the isotopic labeling pattern in the resulting metabolites (often amino acids).(1-3) The C-13 isotopomer analysis from all fullerene-exposed cultures revealed no significant differences in isotopomer distributions from unstressed cells. This result indicates that microbial central metabolism is robust to environmental stress inflicted by fullerene nanoparticles. In addition, although C-60-NH2 compounds caused mechanical stress on the cell wall or membrane, both S. oneidensis MR-1 and E. coli W3110 can efficiently alleviate such stress by cell aggregation and precipitation of the toxic nanoparticles. The results presented here favor the hypothesis that fullerenes cause more membrane stress(4-6) than perturbation to energy metabolism.(7) C1 Univ Calif Berkeley, Lawrence Berkeley Natl Lab, Berkeley, CA 94720 USA.

Zero-field-cooled and field-cooled magnetization curves exhibit spin-glass freezing behavior due to a complex interplay between finite size effects, interparticle interactions, and a random distribution of anisotropy axes in our nanoparticle assemblies.

Isotropic PVP-capped 2.9 nm seeds were prepared by ligand exchange on rhodium-triphenylphosphine metal-organic clusters. Quantitative investigation of reaction parameters in ethylene glycol revealed that size and shape could be controlled at a single reaction temperature of 120 degrees C. The rate of rhodium monomer addition was found to be critical for monodispersity and shape control, regardless of thermodynamic factors. Solvent viscosity, varied by changing the polyol solvents, indicated that autocatalytic addition kinetics are responsible for isotropic versus anisotropic growth.

Pichia stipitis is a well-studied, native xylose-fermenting yeast. The mechanism and regulation of xylose metabolism in P. stipitis have been characterized and genes from P. stipitis have been used to engineer xylose metabolism in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We have sequenced and assembled the complete genome of P. stipitis. The sequence data have revealed unusual aspects of genome organization, numerous genes for bioconversion, a preliminary insight into regulation of central metabolic pathways and several examples of colocalized genes with related functions. The genome sequence provides insight into how P. stipitis regulates its redox balance while very efficiently fermenting xylose under microaerobic conditions.

TI Polyamorphism in a metallic glass SO NATURE MATERIALS LA English DT Article ID AUGMENTED-WAVE METHOD; PHASE-TRANSITION; HIGH-PRESSURE; LIQUIDS; PACKING; CERIUM AB A metal, or an alloy, can often exist in more than one crystal structure. The face-centred-cubic and body-centred-cubic forms of iron (or steel) are a familiar example of such polymorphism. When metallic materials are made in the amorphous form, is a parallel 'polyamorphism' possible? So far, polyamorphic phase transitions(1-7) in the glassy state have been observed only in glasses involving directional and open (such as tetrahedral(4,5)) coordination environments. Here, we report an in situ X-ray diffraction observation of a pressure-induced transition between two distinct amorphous polymorphs in a Ce(55)Al(45) metallic glass. The large density difference observed between the two polyamorphs is attributed to their different electronic and atomic structures, in particular the bond shortening revealed by ab initio modelling of the effects of f-electron delocalization(8-10). This discovery offers a new perspective of the amorphous state of metals, and has implications for understanding the structure, evolution and properties of metallic glasses and related liquids. Our work also opens a new avenue towards technologically useful amorphous alloys that are compositionally identical but with different thermodynamic, functional and rheological properties(11) due to different bonding and structural characteristics.

TI Radiation-induced amorphization resistance and radiation tolerance in structurally related oxides SO NATURE MATERIALS LA English DT Article ID ORDER-DISORDER TRANSITION; NUCLEAR-WASTE; PYROCHLORE; PLUTONIUM; IMMOBILIZATION; FORM AB Ceramics destined for use in hostile environments such as nuclear reactors or waste immobilization must be highly durable and especially resistant to radiation damage effects. In particular, they must not be prone to amorphization or swelling. Few ceramics meet these criteria and much work has been devoted in recent years to identifying radiation-tolerant ceramics and the characteristics that promote radiation tolerance. Here, we examine trends in radiation damage behaviour for families of compounds related by crystal structure. Specifically, we consider oxides with structures related to the fluorite crystal structure. We demonstrate that improved amorphization resistance characteristics are to be found in compounds that have a natural tendency to accommodate lattice disorder.

Whereas hole doping quickly induces metallic behaviour and superconductivity in many cuprates, electron doping alone is insuffcient in materials such as R2CuO4 (R is Nd, Pr, La, Ce and so on), where it is necessary to anneal an as grown sample in a low-oxygen environment to remove a tiny amount of oxygen in order to induce superconductivity. Here we show that the microscopic process of oxygen reduction repairs Cu deficiencies in the as-grown materials and creates oxygen vacancies in the stoichiometric CuO2 planes, effectively reducing disorder and providing itinerant carriers for superconductivity. The resolution of this long-standing materials issue suggests that the fundamental mechanism for superconductivity is the same for electron- and hole-doped copper oxides.

Here, we show a fundamental relationship in electrocatalytic trends on Pt3M (M = Ni, Co, Fe, Ti, V) surfaces between the experimentally determined surface electronic structure (the d-band centre) and activity for the oxygen-reduction reaction. This relationship exhibits 'volcano-type' behaviour, where the maximum catalytic activity is governed by a balance between adsorption energies of reactive intermediates and surface coverage by spectator (blocking) species. The electrocatalytic trends established for extended surfaces are used to explain the activity pattern of Pt3M nanocatalysts as well as to provide a fundamental basis for the catalytic enhancement of cathode catalysts. By combining simulations with experiments in the quest for surfaces with desired activity, an advanced concept in nanoscale catalyst engineering has been developed.

TI The effect of practice on a sustained attention task in cocaine abusers SO NEUROIMAGE LA English DT Article DE fMRI BOLD; adaptation; practice effects; prefrontal cortex; alertness; drug abuse; drug addiction; salience; reward ID MEDIAL PREFRONTAL CORTEX; WORKING-MEMORY; ANTERIOR CINGULATE; FUNCTIONAL-ANATOMY; VISUAL-ATTENTION; DRUG-ADDICTION; FRONTAL-CORTEX; ACTIVATION; BRAIN; HABITUATION AB Habituation enables the organism to attend selectively to novel stimuli by diminishing no-longer necessary responses to repeated stimuli. Because the prefrontal cortex (PFC) has a core role in monitoring attention and behavioral control especially under novelty, neural habituation responses may be modified in drug addiction, a psychopathology that entails PFC abnormalities in both structure and function. Sixteen cocaine abusers and 12 gender-, race-, education-, and intelligence-matched healthy control subjects performed an incentive sustained attention task twice, under novelty and after practice, during functional magnetic resonance imaging. For cocaine abusers practice effects were noted in the PFC (including anterior cingulate cortex/ventromedial rostral PFC, dorsolateral PFC, and medial frontal gyrus) and cerebellum (signal attenuations/decreases: return to baseline); activations in these regions were associated with craving, frequency of use, and length of abstinence. In the control subjects practice effects were instead restricted to posterior brain regions (precuneus and cuneus) (signal amplifications/increases: deactivation away from baseline). Also, only in the cocaine abusers, increased speed of behavioral performance between novelty to practice was associated with a respective attenuation of activation in the thalamus. Overall, we report for the first time a differential pattern of neural responses to repeated presentation of an incentive sustained attention task in cocaine addiction. Our results suggest a disruption in drug addiction of neural habituation to practice that possibly encompasses opponent anterior vs. posterior brain adaptation to the novelty of the experience: overly expeditious for the former but overly protracted for the latter. Overall, cocaine addicted individuals may be predisposed to an increased challenge when required to maintain alertness as a task progresses, not able to optimally utilize a prematurely habituating PFC to compensate with an increased attribution of salience to a desired reward.

The five Kv7 subtypes have distinct assembly preferences encoded by a C-terminal cytoplasmic assembly domain, the A-domain Tail. Here, we present the high-resolution structure of the Kv7.4 Adomain Tail together with biochemical experiments that show that the domain is a selfassembling, parallel, four-stranded coiled coil. Structural analysis and biochemical studies indicate conservation of the coiled coil in all Kv7 subtypes and that a limited set of interactions encode assembly specificity determinants. Kv7 mutations have prominent roles in arrhythmias, deafness, and epilepsy. The structure together with biochemical data indicate that A-domain Tail arrhythmia mutations cluster on the solvent-accessible surface of the subunit interface at a likely site of action for modulatory proteins. Together, the data provide a framework for understanding Kv7 assembly specificity and the molecular basis of a distinct set of Kv7 channelopathies.

TI Etiologic subtypes of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder: Brain imaging, molecular genetic and environmental factors and the dopamine hypothesis SO NEUROPSYCHOLOGY REVIEW LA English DT Review DE ADHD (or Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity disorder); dopamine; molecular genetics; brain imaging; environmental risk; minimal brain dysfunction ID DEFICIT-HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER; ANALOG CLASSROOM ASSESSMENT; D-4 RECEPTOR GENE; ORAL METHYLPHENIDATE; EXTRACELLULAR DOPAMINE; PSYCHIATRIC-DISORDERS; TRANSPORTER GENE; 7-REPEAT ALLELE; GENOMEWIDE SCAN; FETAL-GROWTH AB Multiple theories of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) have been proposed, but one that has stood the test of time is the dopamine deficit theory. We review the narrow literature from recent brain imaging and molecular genetic studies that has improved our understanding of the role of dopamine in manifestation of symptoms of ADHD, performance deficits on neuropsychological tasks, and response to stimulant medication that constitutes the most common treatment of this disorder. First, we consider evidence of the presence of dopamine deficits based on the recent literature that (1) confinns abnormalities in dopamine-modulated frontal-striatal circuits, reflected by size (smaller-than-average components) and function (hypoactivation); (2) clarifies the agonist effects of stimulant medication on dopaminergic mechanisms at the synaptic and circuit level of analysis; and (3) challenges the most-widely accepted ADHD-related neural abnormality in the dopamine system (higher-than-normal dopamine transporter [DAT] density). Second, we discuss possible genetic etiologies of dopamine deficits based on recent molecular genetic literature, including (1) multiple replications that confirm the association of ADHD with candidate genes related to the dopamine receptor D4 (DRD4) and the DAT; (2) replication of differences in performance of neuropsychological tasks as a function of the DRD4 genotype; and (3) multiple genome-wide linkage scans that demonstrate the limitations of this method when applied to complex disorders but implicate additional genes that may contribute to the genetic basis of ADHD. Third, we review possible environmental etiologies of dopamine deficits based on recent studies of (1) toxic substances that may affect the dopamine system in early development and contribute substantially to the etiology of ADHD; (2) fetal adaptations in dopamine systems in response to stress that may alter early development with lasting effects, as proposed by the developmental origins of health and disease hypothesis; and (3) gene-environment interactions that may moderate selective damage or adaptation of dopamine neurons. Based on these reviews, we identify critical issues about etiologic subtypes of ADHD that may involve dopamine, discuss methods that could be used to address these issues, and review old and new theories that may direct research in this area in the future.

In 2003 the instrument has been flown again with polarization sensitive bolometers, and has produced maps of the Stokes parameters I, Q, U of the microwave sky. Three regions of the southern sky were surveyed: a deep (similar to 90 square degrees) and a shallow survey (similar to 750 square degrees) at high Galactic latitudes, and a survey of similar to 300 square degrees across a southern section of the Galactic plane. The experiment measured simultaneously three wide frequency bands centered at 145, 245 and 345 GHz, with an angular resolution of similar to 10 degrees. The 145 GHz temperature maps are dominated by Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropy, which is mapped with high signal to noise ratio. The map is consistent with the pattern measured in the same region by BOOMERanG-98 and by WMAP. At 145 GHz, in the high latitude surveys, the intensity and polarization of the astrophysical foregrounds are found to be negligible with respect to the cosmological signal. At 245 and 345 GHz we detect ISD emission correlated to the 3000 GHz IRAS/DIRBE maps. The Q and U maps at high latitudes are dominated by detector noise: a power spectrum analysis allows us to extract from the maps a significant CMB polarization signal.

TI Iris small break loca phenomena identification and ranking table (PIRT) SO NUCLEAR ENGINEERING AND DESIGN LA English DT Article ID REACTOR AB The international reactor innovative and secure (IRIS) is a modular pressurized water reactor with an integral configuration (all primary system components - reactor core, internals, pumps, steam generators, pressurizer, and control rod drive mechanisms - are inside the reactor vessel). The IRIS plant conceptual design was completed in 2001 and the preliminary design is currently underway. The pre-application licensing process with the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC) started in October 2002. The first line of defense in IRIS is to eliminate event initiators that could potentially lead to core damage. If it is not possible to eliminate certain accidents altogether, then the design inherently reduces their consequences and/or decreases their probability of occurring. One of the most obvious advantages of the IRIS Safety-by-Design (TM) approach is the elimination of large break loss-of-coolant accidents (LBLOCAs), since no large primary penetrations of the reactor vessel or large loop piping exist. While the IRIS Safety-by-Design (TM) approach is a logical step in the effort to produce advanced reactors, the desired advances in safety must still be demonstrated in the licensing arena. With the elimination of LBLOCA, an important next consideration is to show the IRIS design fulfills the promise of increased safety also for small break LOCAs (SBLOCAs). Accordingly, the SBLOCA phenomena identification and ranking table (PIRT) project was established. The primary objective of the IRIS SBLOCA PIRT project was to identify the relative importance of phenomena in the IRIS response to SBLOCAs. This relative importance, coupled with the current relative state of knowledge for the phenomena, provides a framework for the planning of the continued experimental and analytical efforts. To satisfy the SBLOCA PIRT project objectives, Westinghouse organized an expert panel whose members were carefully selected to insure that the PIRT results reflect internationally recognized experience in reactor safety analysis, and were not biased by program preconceptions internal to the IRIS program. The SBLOCA PIRT Panel concluded that continued experimental data and analytical tool development in the following areas, in decreasing level of significance, are perceived as important with respect to satisfying the safety analysis and licensing objectives of the IRIS program: (1) steam generator; (2) pressure suppression system, containment dry well and their interactions; (3) emergency heat removal system; (4) core, long-term gravity makeup system, automatic depressurization system, and pressurizer; (5) direct vessel injection system and reactor vessel cavity.

TI Evaluation of the conduction shape factor with a CFD code for a liquid-metal heat transfer in heated triangular rod bundles SO NUCLEAR ENGINEERING AND DESIGN LA English DT Article ID SUBCHANNEL ANALYSIS AB A heat transfer due to conduction through a coolant itself is not negligible in a liquid-metal cooled reactor (LMR). This portion of a heat transfer is frequently described with a conduction shape factor during the thermal-hydraulic design of an LMR. The conduction shape factor, which is highly dependent on a pitch-to-diameter (PID) ratio, is defined as the ratio of the local conduction heat flux at a gap between two subchannels to the reference heat flux calculated by the averaged subchannel temperatures. The shape factors in heated triangular rod arrays for three different pitch-to-diameter ratios are generated through CFX calculations in the present study. The flow paths of 1.0-2.0 m in length are meshed into 180,000-360,000 volumes depending on the flow velocities. The SSG Reynolds stress model is used as a turbulent model in the calculations. The evaluated data fell between the heated-rod data and the plane-source data obtained by theoretical investigations. The conduction shape factors were found to be independent of the heating pattern of the rod arrays. Based on the evaluated data, a correlation for a liquid sodium coolant is suggested, which will improve the accuracy of the subchannel analysis codes for the thermal-hydraulic design of an LMR. When it is compared with the existing correlations, the suggested correlation is expected to enhance the reliability of the conduction shape factor because the data is evaluated by a more realistic numerical experiment.

Global data, for the energy confinement time and its controlling parameters, have now been collected from 18 machines of different sizes and shapes: ASDEX. ASDEX Upgrade, C-Mod, COMPASS-D, DIII-D, JET, JFT-2M, JT-60U, MAST, NSTX, PBX-M, PDX, START, T-10, TCV, TdeV, TFTR and TUMAN-3M. The database now contains 10382 data entries from 3762 plasma discharges, including data from deuterium-tritium experiments, low-aspect ratio plasmas, dimensionless parameter experiments and plasmas. DB3 also contains an increased amount of data from a range of diverted machines and further data at high triangularity, high density and high current. A wide range of physics studies has been performed on DB3 with particular progress made in the separation of core and edge behaviour, dimensionless parameter analyses and the comparison of the database with one-dimensional transport codes. The errors in the physics variables of the database have also been studied and this has led to the use of errors in variables fits. A key aim of the database has always been to provide a basis for estimating the energy confinement properties of next step machines such as ITER, and so the impact of the database and its analysis on such machines is also discussed.

TI Pulse propagation in a simple probabilistic transport model SO NUCLEAR FUSION LA English DT Article ID ANOMALOUS TRANSPORT; RANDOM-WALKS AB The response to perturbations of a simplified transport model is studied. The model is used as a paradigmatic example of transport controlled by a critical gradient. Long-time system behaviour is diffusive when most of the system is sub-critical. However, when the critical mechanism becomes significant, it is observed to dominate the system behaviour at both short- and long-time scales. While the pulse amplitude decays in an approximately diffusive manner at long times for weakly critical situations, the pulse shape is not self-similar.

Under the assumption that Particle Flow Algorithms (PFAs), which combine tracking and calorimeter information to reconstruct the energy of hadronic jets, can provide this unprecedented jet energy resolution, calorimeters with very fine granularity are being developed. After a brief introduction outlining the principles of PFAs, the current status of various calorimeter prototype construction projects and their plans for the next few years will be reviewed.

In our first approach, we have developed the advanced radiation hard detectors using charge or current injection, the current injected diodes (CID). In a CID, the electric field is controlled by injected current, which is limited by the space charge, yielding a nearly uniform electric field in the detector, independent of the radiation fluence. In our second approach, we have developed models of radiation-induced trapping levels and the physics of their freezing out at cryogenic temperatures. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The SVT upgrade aims to increase the SVT processing power to restore the original CDF DAQ capability at high luminosity. We describe the SVT upgrade, consisting of a new Associative Memory 16 times larger than the existing one, and new faster Track Fitter and Hit Buffer boards to take advantage of these patterns.

This detector features an innovative readout integrated circuit, the second version of the Fermilab Silicon Strip Readout chip (FSSR2), which, being completely data-driven, allows for the direct use of the detector information at the lowest level of the trigger. All the particle hits on the detector can be read out in real time without any external trigger and any particular limitation due to deadtime. The chip services 128 strips providing the address, the time-stamp and a 3 bit amplitude information for all hits. Several programmable features are included in the chip, such as an internal pulser, a baseline restorer, and a selectable signal peaking time and gain. The performance in terms of noise and threshold dispersion have been measured with and without sensor connected to the chip and at different values of peaking time and gain, confirming that the FSSR2 meets the design requirements. The electronic calibration has been crosschecked with a radioactive source of Am-241. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. C1 Ist Nazl Fis Nucl, I-20133 Milan, Italy. Univ Milan, Milan, Italy.

In the deep survey, we detect more than 2000 matched Type la supernovae within a 7.5 deg(2) field, with redshifts covering the range z = 0.1 - 1.7. This uniform and high-quality set of "standard candles" will provide the most precise mapping of the expansion of the universe through the magnitude-redshift relation (Hubble diagram) ever constructed. The SNAP wide survey maps 1000 deg(2)/year in nine passbands to 28th magnitude. A weak-lensing study of the wide survey data traces the growth of structure and provides completely independent constraints on dark energy parameters. SNAP utilizes a 2 m class rigid light-weight telescope with a three-mirror anastigmatic design for a large, diffraction-limited field of view, The telescope feeds an instrumented similar to 0.7 deg 2 focal plane with similar to 600 million pixels sensitive to wavelengths from 400 to 1700 run. Full-depletion, high-purity silicon CCDs detect visible wavelengths, and 1700 nm cutoff HgCdTe detector arrays detect the near-IR. Passive cooling of the focal plane, fixed solar panels, fixed filters, and fixed antenna for telemetry simplify the mission. Room temperature operation of the telescope facilitates preflight testing. The satellite is placed in orbit about the second Earth-Sun Lagrange point (L2). (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. C1 Lawrence Berkeley Lab, Berkeley, CA 94618 USA.

The advantages of these CCDs relative to conventional thin, n-channel CCDs include: high quantum efficiency over a wide range of wavelengths, extending into the near-infrared; negligible fringing at long (similar to 900-1000nm) wavelengths; improved radiation tolerance; and a small point-spread function controlled through the application of the bias voltage. These visible-to-near-infrared light detectors are good candidates for the next generation of large focal-plane mosaics under development for dark energy measurements. The Dark Energy Survey has selected these CCDs for the focal plane of a new camera being designed for the Blanco 4m telescope at CTIO in Chile. They also meet all the requirements for the visible-light detectors for the SuperNova/Acceleration Probe, a satellite-based experiment designed to make precision measurements of dark energy.

Tracks are included using a thermal spike model, i.e. a certain number of atoms within an initial track radius are given an initial excitation energy. The total energy given to the excited atoms and the length of the track determine an "effective" stopping power dE/dx. Electronic excitations in semiconductors and semimetals like diamond and graphite can diffuse far from each other or be quenched before they couple to the lattice. This effect is included by varying the number of atoms that are effectively energized within the track. We use an initial track radius of 3 nm and we find that full amorphization of this region during the first few ps only occurs when the "effective" dE/dx is larger than 6 +/- 0.9 keV/nm for graphite and 10.5 +/- 1.5 keV/nm for diamond. Since the "effective" dE/dx depends on the electron-phonon coupling, our simulations set bounds on the efficiency of the coupling between the electronic excitations and the lattice in this highly non-equilibrium scenario.

Correct ion irradiation conditions for unambiguous studies of the ME are discussed. Rutherford backscattering/channeling spectrometry results show that the damage buildup behavior strongly depends on the cluster ion size, and the ME efficiency increases rapidly with increasing the number of atoms in cluster ions. Moreover, the ME efficiency decreases with increasing the defect generation rate, indicating that dynamic annealing processes, rather than nonlinear energy spikes, play a major role in the ME for these irradiation conditions.

Electron emission induced by (31)p(q+) (q = 5-13) and Xe-136(q+) (q = 34-44) with kinetic energies of 9 kV x q increase linearly with the ion charge states, reaching over 100 electrons per ion for high xenon charge states without surface passivation of the diamond with hydrogen. Yields from both diamond types are up to a factor of two higher than from reference metal surfaces. Crater like defects with diameters of 25-40 nm are formed by the impact of single Xe44+ ions. High secondary electron yields and single ion induced defects enable the formation of single dopant arrays on diamond surfaces. (c) 2007 Published by Elsevier B.V.

Four kinds of ion implanted specimens were prepared with 100 appm Al, 1000 appm Al, 100 appm Be and 1000 appm Be implanted. No microstructural change was observed in the matrices and fibers of SiC/SiC composites implanted with Al or Be ions up to 1000 appm. The un-implanted and Al or Be pre-implanted SiC/SiC composites were simultaneously irradiated to 10 dpa using triple ion-beams (6.0-MeV Si2+, 1. 0-MeV He+ and 340-keV H+) at 1000 degrees C. Helium bubbles were formed in every matrix and fiber irradiated by triple ion-beams. The size of He bubbles in the matrix was increased by implanting Al or Be ions and increased with increasing amount of implanted Al or Be ions. The size of He bubbles in the fiber was slightly increased by implanting Al or Be ions. These results suggest that Al or Be as transmutation products and impurities may accelerate the growth of He bubbles in SiC/SiC composites under fusion reactor conditions. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V.

TI Particle number projection in the macroscopic-microscopic approach SO NUCLEAR PHYSICS A LA English DT Article DE nuclear pairing; particle number projection ID PAIRING CORRELATIONS; NUCLEAR-MASSES; MODEL; SUPERCONDUCTIVITY; HEAVY; STATE; GAPS AB We perform nuclear ground-state pairing calculations with the monopole pairing interaction. The particle number fluctuations are taken into account by the particle number projection method, with variation after projection. The pairing-correction energies obtained in this approach are compared to the BCS-model results. We discuss extensively how to properly incorporate different pairing models in global macroscopic-microscopic nuclear mass calculations. A method to calculate the smoothly changing part of the particle number projected energy is developed based on the Strutinsky procedure, making it possible to extract a pairing-shell energy. The behavior of the different pairing models is investigated in detail in the nuclei Er-164 and Tm-165. Calculations are then performed along the beta-stability line and for several isotope and isotone chains from the proton drip-line to the neutron drip-line. The single-particle energy levels used are obtained from two different single-particle potentials: the folded-Yukawa and the modified-harmonic oscillator potentials. The pairing calculations in the two potentials differ slightly in the fine-structure but the overall results are very similar. When comparing the particle number projected model and the BCS model it is found that the pairing-shell energy is quite insensitive to which microscopic pairing model is used. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.

TI Fragmentation cross sections of Si-28 at beam energies from 290 A to 1200 A MeV SO NUCLEAR PHYSICS A LA English DT Article DE heavy ions; fragmentation; galactic cosmic rays; shielding ID TARGETS; MODEL; RADIATION; NUCLEI; FE-56 AB In planning for long-duration spaceflight, it will be important to accurately model the exposure of astronauts to heavy ions in the galactic cosmic rays (GCR). As part of an ongoing effort to improve heavy-ion transport codes that will be used in designing future spacecraft and habitats, fragmentation cross sections of Si-28 have been measured using beams with extracted energies from 290 A to 1200 A MeV, spanning most of the peak region of the energy distribution of silicon ions in the GCR. Results were obtained for six elemental targets: hydrogen, carbon, aluminum, copper, tin, and lead. The charge-changing cross sections are found to be energy-independent within the experimental uncertainties, except for those on the hydrogen target. Cross sections for the production of the heaviest fragments are found to decrease slightly with increasing energy for lighter targets, but increase with energy for tin and lead targets. The cross sections are compared to previous measurements at similar energies, and to predictions of the NUCFRG2 model used by NASA to evaluate radiation exposures in flight. For charge-changing cross sections, reasonable agreement is found between the present experiment and those of Webber et al. and Flesch et al., and NUCFRG2 agrees with the data to within 3% in most cases. Fragment cross sections show less agreement between experiments, and there are substantial differences between NUCFRG2 predictions and the data. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The extended-transport correction (ETC) is known to be an effective method to treat elastic scattering of electrons. We apply the ETC to inelastic downscattering of electrons, and evaluate the effectiveness of the method by comparing the scattering moments for the screened Rutherford scattering kernel and for scattering with a deterministic cosine. The ETC approximation results in a delta-function in angle downscatter source term, for energy loss without direction change, which has been incorporated into the CEPTRE discrete ordinates code in a manner that is compatible with general quadrature sets, not requiring a specialized Galerkin quadrature. The ETC approximation also makes it possible to develop a first-collision source technique that is effective for charged-particle transport, by including particles that have downscattered in energy without direction change in the uncollided-flux solution. We demonstrate the effectiveness of these techniques for problems involving electron beam sources incident on infinite and finite water cylinders and compare the energy- and charge-deposition distributions with ITS Monte Carlo results with good agreement.

High fidelity is accomplished by integrating full physics, highly refined solution modules for the coupled neutronic and thermal-hydraulic phenomena. Each solution module employs methods and models that are formulated faithfully to the first principles governing the physics, real geometry, and constituents. Specifically, the critical analysis elements that are incorporated in the coupled code capability are a direct whole-core neutron transport solution and an ultra-fine-mesh computational fluid dynamics / heat transfer solution, each obtained with explicit (sub-fuel-pin-cell level) heterogeneous representations of the components of the core. The considerable computational resources required for such highly refined modeling are addressed by using massively parallel computers, which together with the coupled codes constitute the NNR. To establish confidence in the NNR methodology, verification and validation of the solution modules have been performed and are continuing for both the neutronic module and the thermal-hydraulic module for single-phase and two-phase boiling conditions under prototypical pressurized water reactor and boiling water reactor conditions. This paper describes the features of the NNR and validation of each module and provides the results of several coupled code calculations. C1 Argonne Natl Lab, Argonne, IL 60439 USA.

This exposure results in damage to the graphite structure. Studies of the thermal properties of irradiated graphite show changes in the thermal conductivity and (to a lesser extent) the heat capacity at fluences <10(21) n/cm(2) In graphite, these properties depend on the behavior of atomic vibrations (phonons) in the solid. Therefore, it can be expected that alterations in the phonon behavior that would produce changes in these properties would have an impact on the thermal neutron scattering behavior of that material. In this work, an atomistic ab initio investigation is performed to explore the potential impact of simple carbon interstitial formations on the inelastic thermal neutron scattering behavior of graphite. Using the VASP/PHONON code system, graphite supercells were modeled with and without either a single carbon interstitial or a di-interstitial (C-2) molecule between the graphite planes. This resulted in the production of the phonon frequency spectra for these structures. From the phonon data, the inelastic thermal neutron scattering cross sections were generated, using the NJOY code system, at temperatures of 300 and 1200 K. A comparison of the generated cross sections shows that accounting for the interstitials in the calculations affects the cross sections mainly in the energy range from 0.01 to 0.1 eV.

The computations and memory needed for these solutions can be prohibitive if any one system is too large. We investigate an approach for addressing this issue based on approximating the direct solutions using preconditioners. In order to retain the attractive numerical properties of the exact version of BDDC, some of the preconditioners must possess a property related to the substructure null spaces. We describe a simple method to equip preconditioners with this property. Numerical results demonstrate the usefulness of the approach and confirm the theory.

The local measure of match is often desired to be invariant to certain transforms, such as rotation and dilation, of the template. Although a variety of solutions have been proposed, most are designed to provide invariance to a specific transform or set of transforms, and often involve significant computational demands. When invariance to "small" transformations of the template (e.g., rotation by a small angle) is sufficient, local linear approximations to these transforms may be used to allow template matching with invariance to arbitrary transforms, without significantly increased computational requirements.

Our study shows that the type series of 'S.' wuerhoensis is actually a chimera made up of at least three distinct taxa. The holotype of this taxon should be assigned to the basal eucryptodire genus Xinjiangchelys Yeh. As there are no characters that distinguish 'S.' wuerhoensis from Xinjiangchelys species, we consider it to be a nomen dubium. This new assignment of 'S.' wuerhoensis expands the temporal range of Xinjiangchelys from the Late Jurassic into the Early Cretaceous in Asia. The majority of the paratypes of 'S.' wuerhoensis (several shells in dorsal and ventral aspect and skulls) are referred to the basal eucryptodire genus Ordosemys Brinkman and Peng.

TI The discovery of new coding alleles of human CYP26A1 that are potentially defective in the metabolism of all-trans retinoic acid and their assessment in a recombinant cDNA expression system SO PHARMACOGENETICS AND GENOMICS LA English DT Article DE CYP26A1; P450; polymorphisms; retinoic acid; retinoic acid metabolism ID PROMYELOCYTIC LEUKEMIA-CELLS; MULTIPLE SEQUENCE ALIGNMENT; CAUDAL REGRESSION SYNDROME; HUMAN CYTOCHROME-P450; ESCHERICHIA-COLI; MOUSE EMBRYO; ENZYME; IDENTIFICATION; GENE; PHARMACOGENOMICS AB Objectives Retinoic acid (RA) is a critical regulator of gene expression during embryonic development and in the maintenance of adult epithelial tissues. This study was undertaken to identify genetic polymorphisms of CYP26A1 which might affect these processes. We sequenced CYP26A1 in racially diverse individuals and assessed the metabolism of retinoic acid by newly identified coding alleles of CYP26A1 in a recombinant system. Methods CYP26A1 was sequenced in 24 Caucasians, 24 African-Americans, 24 Asians, and 20 individuals of unknown racial origin. cDNA constructs for wild-type and coding alleles of CYP26A1 were constructed in a pcDNA3.1 expression vector and expressed in Cos-1 cells. A FLAG tag at the C-terminal end of the cDNA was used to quantitate the recombinant CYP26A1 proteins. Results A total of 13 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified in CYP26A1. Three SNPs produced coding changes: R173S, F186L, and C358R. These alleles were termed as CYP26A1*2, CYP26A1*3, and CYP26A1*4, respectively, by the Human Cytochrome P450 (CYP) Allele Nomenclature Committee at hftp://www.cypalleles.ki.se/. Wild type CYP26A1 protein metabolized all-trans-retinoic acid (at-RA) to 4-oxo-RA, 4-OH-RA as well as water-soluble metabolites. CYP26A1.3 (F186L and CYP26A1.4 (C358R) allelic proteins exhibited significantly lower metabolism (40-80%) of at-RA than wild-type CYP26A1.1 protein. Conclusion This is the first study to identify coding alleles of CYP26A1. Two coding alleles, CYP26A1*3 and CYP26A1*4, are predicted to be defective based on the metabolism of at-RA by the recombinant proteins. These studies suggest the need for future clinical studies of polymorphisms of CYP26A1 in embryonic development. C1 NIEHS, Lab Pharmacol & Chem, NIH, Res Triangle Pk, NC 27709 USA.

TI Resolution of codominant phytoplankton species in a eutrophic lake using synchrotron-based Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy SO PHYCOLOGIA LA English DT Article DE Ceratium; FTIR; Microcystis; phytoplankton ID MICROSPECTROSCOPY; CELLS; BIOMASS; ALGAE; TOOL AB Synchrotron-based Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) microspectroscopy was used to distinguish micropopulations of the codominant algae Microcystis aeruginosa (Cyanophyceae) and Ceratium hirundinella (Dinophyceae) in mixed phytoplankton samples taken from the water column of a stratified eutrophic lake (Rostherne Mere, UK). FTIR spectra of the two algae showed a closely similar sequence of 10 bands over the wave-number range 4000-900 cm(-1). These were assigned to a range of vibrationally active chemical groups using published band assignments and on the basis of correlation and factor analysis. In both algae, intracellular concentrations of macromolecular components (determined as band intensity) varied considerably within the same population, indicating substantial intraspecific heterogeneity. Interspecific differences were separately analysed in relation to discrete bands and by multivariate analysis of the entire spectral region 1750-900 cm(-1). In terms of discrete bands, comparison of individual intensities (normalised to amide 1) demonstrated significant (99% probability level) differences in relation to six bands between the two algal species. Key interspecific differences were also noted in relation to the positions of bands 2, 10 (carbohydrate) and 7 (protein) and in the 3-D plots derived by principal component analysis (PCA) of the sequence of band intensities. PCA of entire spectral regions showed clear resolution of species in the PCA plot, with indication of separation on the basis of protein (region 1700-1500 cm(-1)) and carbohydrate (region 1150-900 cm(-1)) composition in the loading plot. Hierarchical cluster analysis (Ward algorithm) of entire spectral regions also showed clear discrimination of the two species within the resulting dendrogram.

TI DiMES studies of temperature dependence of carbon erosion and re-deposition in the lower divertor of DIII-D under detachment SO PHYSICA SCRIPTA LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 11th International Workshop on Plasma-Facing Materials and Components for Fusion Applications CY OCT 10-12, 2006 CL Max Planck Inst Plasma Phys, Greifswald Branch, Greifswald, GERMANY HO Max Planck Inst Plasma Phys, Greifswald Branch ID HYDROCARBON FORMATION; D TOKAMAK; PLASMA; DESIGN; ION AB A strong effect of a moderately elevated surface temperature on net carbon deposition and deuterium co-deposition in the DIII-D divertor was observed under detached conditions. A graphite DiMES sample with a 2 mm wide, 18 mm deep gap lined with silicon catcher plates was exposed to lower-single-null (LSN) L-mode plasmas first at room temperature, and then pre-heated to 200 degrees C by a built-in electrical heater. At the elevated temperature, deuterium co-deposition in the gap was reduced by an order of magnitude. At the plasma-facing surface of the pre-heated sample net carbon erosion was measured at a rate of 3 nm s(-1), whereas without pre-heating net deposition is normally observed under detachment. In a related experiment three sets of molybdenum mirrors recessed 2 cm below the divertor floor were exposed to identical LSN ELMy H-mode discharges. The first set of mirrors exposed at ambient temperature exhibited net carbon deposition at a rate of up to 3.7 nm s(-1) and suffered a significant drop in reflectivity. In contrast, two other mirror sets exposed at elevated temperatures between 90 and 175 degrees C exhibited practically no carbon deposition and their optical reflectivity in the wavelength range above 500 nm was essentially preserved.

The measured methane yields/D for the different species compared at the same energy/D diverge below about 60 eV D-1, the incident triatomic molecular ions leading to the largest yields/D, and the atomic ions to the smallest, reaching a factor of two difference at 10 eV/D. The measured yields/D are in reasonable agreement with molecular dynamics simulations over the entire calculated energy range. The model surfaces were prepared by D, D-2 and D-3 impacts in a way that mimics the experiment. For D-2 incident at energies below 15 eV/D, the simulations show a strong dependence of the sputtering yields on the vibrational state of the incident projectile.

In these experiments with intense transient heat pulses in the electron beam JUDITH and the ion beam facility RHEPP-1, CFCs showed a preferential erosion of the fibre bundles aligned in the surface-plane. This phenomenon also occurred when these fibre bundles were the ones with the highest thermal conductivity. First results show that reduction of the number of fibres aligned parallel to the surface-plane strongly contributes to limiting the preferential erosion by fibre segment ejection ( brittle destruction) in CFCs. Strong mechanical attachment is essential to avoid fibre segment ejection during disruption. The selection of an optimum material orientation of the available CFCs is of relevant importance and will be further investigated.

The analysis of the optically-detected electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra, recorded after ultraviolet excitation at 4.2 K, shows that intrinsic donor and acceptor centres are involved in the recombination process. Spectral dependent RL-EPR measurements on undoped CaAl2O4 (CAO) and SrAl2O4 (SAO) show that we deal with only one donor but at least two different acceptors. The g value of the donor is 1.99 in CAO and 1.97 in SAO; the g value of the acceptors is about 2.02. The donor-acceptor recombination energy is either emitted directly (undoped samples) or almost completely transferred to the rare-earth activators (doped samples).

The laser dresses the core-excited atomic states, which introduces a dependence of the cross section on the angle between the polarization vectors of the two linearly polarized radiation sources. We use the Hartree-Fock-Slater approximation to describe the atomic many-particle problem in conjunction with a nonrelativistic quantum-electrodynamic approach to treat the photon-electron interaction. The continuum wave functions of ejected electrons are treated with a complex absorbing potential that is derived from smooth exterior complex scaling. The solution to the two-color (x-ray plus laser) problem is discussed in terms of a direct diagonalization of the complex symmetric matrix representation of the Hamiltonian. Alternative treatments with time-independent and time-dependent non-Hermitian perturbation theories are presented that exploit the weak interaction strength between x rays and atoms. We apply the theory to study the photoabsorption cross section of krypton atoms near the K edge. A pronounced modification of the cross section is found in the presence of the optical laser.

We demonstrate that when the coupling to the system drives a quantum phase transition in the environment, the decay of quantum coherences in the system is Gaussian with a width independent of the system-environment coupling strength. We obtain analytical results for a class of solvable models, and present numerical evidence supporting the validity of our results in more general cases. This effect opens the way for a quantum simulation algorithm, where a single qubit is used to detect a quantum phase transition. We discuss possible implementations of such an algorithm and relate our results to available data on universal decoherence in NMR echo experiments.

T. Chantler , Phys. Rev. A 64, 062506 (2001)] to measure the mass attenuation coefficients of tin in the x-ray energy range of 29-60 keV to 0.04-3 % accuracy, and typically in the range 0.1-0.2 %. Measurements made over an extended range of the measurement parameter space are critically examined to identify, quantify, and correct a number of potential experimental systematic errors. These results represent the most extensive experimental data set for tin and include absolute mass attenuation coefficients in the regions of x-ray absorption fine structure, extended x-ray absorption fine structure, and x-ray absorption near-edge structure. The imaginary component of the atomic form factor f(2) is derived from the photoelectric absorption after subtracting calculated Rayleigh and Compton scattering cross sections from the total attenuation. Comparison of the result with tabulations of calculated photoelectric absorption coefficients indicates that differences of 1-2 % persist between calculated and observed values.

TI Extreme-ultraviolet spectroscopy of highly charged xenon ions created using an electron-beam ion trap SO PHYSICAL REVIEW A LA English DT Article ID LASER-PRODUCED PLASMAS; GROUND-STATE CONFIGURATIONS; 4D-4F EMISSION RESONANCES; I ISOELECTRONIC SEQUENCE; ENERGY-LEVEL SCHEME; IONIZED XENON; TRANSITION-PROBABILITIES; IMPACT IONIZATION; XE-XXVI; SPECTRA AB Extreme-ultraviolet spectra of xenon ions have been recorded in the 4.5 to 20 nm wavelength region using an electron beam ion trap and a flat field spectrometer. The electron beam energy was varied from 180 eV to 8 keV and radiation from charge states Xe6+ to Xe43+ was observed. Our measured wavelengths were compared to atomic structure calculations using the Cowan suite of codes. We have measured seventeen previously unreported features corresponding to transitions in Xe35+ through to Xe41+ with estimated wavelength uncertainties of +/- 0.003 nm. It was found that for the case of continuous injection of neutral xenon gas a wide range of charge states were always present in the trap but this charge state distribution was greatly narrowed, towards higher charge states, if a sufficiently low gas injection pressure was employed. The energy dependence of spectral lines arising from Xe42+ and Xe43+ revealed enhancement of the total ionization cross sections, due to excitation-autoionization of n=2 electrons to n=3 levels, in the Xe41+ and Xe42+ charge states.

TI Effects of the final-state electron-ion interactions on the fully differential cross sections for heavy-particle-impact ionization of helium SO PHYSICAL REVIEW A LA English DT Article ID SINGLE IONIZATION; EXCHANGE AB Three-dimensional fully differential cross sections for heavy-particle-impact ionization of helium are examined. Previously, the three-body distorted-wave (3DW) model has achieved good agreement with experiment in the scattering plane for small momentum transfers, but poor agreement for large momentum transfers. Poor agreement was also observed outside the scattering plane for all momentum transfers. In particular, the 3DW calculations predicted cross sections that were too small both perpendicular to the scattering plane and for large momentum transfers. The important unanswered question concerns the physical effects that cause the significant disagreement between experiment and theory. In previous works, the role of the projectile-ion interaction has been examined. Although the importance of exchange between the ejected electron and the residual bound electrons has been well established, and frequently studied, for electron-impact ionization, the importance of this effect has not been examined for heavy-particle scattering. In this paper we examine the role of this effect for heavy-particle scattering. C1 Univ Missouri, Rolla, MO 65409 USA. Los Alamos Natl Lab, Los Alamos, NM 87545 USA.

While the overall photon-energy-dependent behavior of the photoelectrons from the clusters is very similar to that of the free atoms, distinct differences in the angular distribution point at cluster-size-dependent effects.

For this transport problem we have developed an inhomogeneous nonunitary Lindblad master equation that allows for a description of open quantum systems with both sinks (electron loss) and source (capture) present. We apply this theoretical framework to study transient coherences created in electron capture by 13.6 MeV/amu Ar18+ ions transmitted through amorphous carbon foils and decoherence during subsequent interaction with the foil. In the limit of thin targets we can directly probe electron capture cross sections under single collision conditions, while for thicker targets we follow the partially coherent dynamics of the open quantum system in interaction with the solid as a function of interaction time. The calculated results are in close agreement with experimental data obtained at the LISE facility in GANIL. Photon intensities from excited argon ions were determined through high resolution x-ray spectroscopy in which individual fine structure components were resolved. Measurements were performed for a wide range of carbon foil thickness to study the time development of the excited state populations.

TI Superradiance in ultracold Rydberg gases SO PHYSICAL REVIEW A LA English DT Article ID BOSE-EINSTEIN CONDENSATION; SUPER-RADIANCE; ATOMS; OSCILLATIONS AB Experiments in dense, ultracold gases of rubidium Rydberg atoms show a considerable decrease of the radiative excited state lifetimes compared to dilute gases. This accelerated decay is explained by collective and cooperative effects, leading to superradiance. A formalism to calculate effective decay times in a dense Rydberg gas shows that for these atoms the decay into nearby levels increases by up to three orders of magnitude. Excellent agreement between theory and experiment follows from this treatment of Rydberg decay behavior. C1 Univ Connecticut, Dept Phys, Storrs, CT 06269 USA.

Although the surface-segregation concentration profiles can be qualitatively accounted for by the theories of Defay-Prigogine and Strohl-King, they cannot satisfactorily account for the measured surface tension.

Yet recent calorimetry indicates that its low-temperature specific heat has both cubic and linear contributions. These features appear in the same temperature range (T similar to 200 mK) where measurements of the torsional oscillator period suggest a supersolid transition. We analyze the specific heat to compare the measured with the estimated entropy for a proposed supersolid transition with 1% superfluid fraction. We find that the experimental entropy is substantially less than the calculated entropy. We suggest that the low-temperature linear term in the specific heat is due to a glassy state that develops at low temperatures and is caused by a distribution of tunneling systems in the crystal. It is proposed that small scale dislocation loops produce those tunneling systems. We argue that the reported mass decoupling is consistent with an increase in the oscillator frequency, as expected for a glasslike transition.

TI Multistate modified embedded atom method SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID FCC METALS; POTENTIALS; ENERGIES; IMPURITIES; DEFECTS; SILICON; AU AB A multireference state formalism for determining the functions for the modified embedded atom method (MEAM) is developed. This formalism eliminates almost all of the prior arbitrary choices in the MEAM function determination and replaces it with first-principles calculations of the MEAM electron densities, embedding energy, pair potential, and angular screening functions. The formalism accepts any level of first-principles information and is applicable to all elements. It may be considered as a physically based interpolation of the first-principles data for systems that fall within the range covered by that data. The critical addition of multiple reference states includes the energy/volume relationship for those reference structures as well as reference paths connecting the reference structures. The formalism is applied to Cu as a model material. Extensive predictions of the model are made and compared to additional first-principles calculations, results of two literature EAM potentials, and experiment. Our model, which uses as input only the first-principles database, represents the first-principles calculations extremely well (better than the EAM calculations). Furthermore, it agrees with experiments almost as well as EAM models, derived from a combination of first-principles calculations and experiments.

TI First-principles calculation of the spin-orbit splitting in graphene SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID DFT CALCULATIONS; GRAPHITE; SYSTEMS AB Recent success in making macroscopic graphene samples has stimulated interest in possible unusual electron physics near the Brillouin zone (BZ) vertex K, notably the prediction of a spin quantum Hall effect. Observability depends critically on the size of the spin-orbit gap Delta(SO) at K. Prior approximate calculations give results from 1.2 K (approximate to 0.1 meV) down to 10 mK (approximate to 0.00086 meV). We report fully first-principles all-electron calculations of this splitting using large Gaussian basis sets and the Douglas-Kroll-Hess methodology in the density functional theory fitting function code (GTOFF). Our result Delta(SO)approximate to 0.6 K or 0.05 meV is robust against the choice of the approximate exchange-correlation functional and against variations of the lattice constant, density of the BZ scan, basis set enrichment, and key numerical convergence parameters.

An initially antiferromagnetic ground state changes into a field-stabilized metamagnetic phase at similar to 16 kOe (T -> 0). On further increase of the magnetic field, magnetic order is suppressed at similar to 85 kOe. No non-Fermi-liquid-like power law was observed in the resistivity in the vicinity of the critical field for T >= 0.4 K. Heat capacity measurements suggest that the applied magnetic field splits the nearly degenerate crystal-electric-field levels that form the zero-field ground state of YbNiSi3. The functional behaviors of the resistivity and specific heat are discussed in comparison with those of the few other stoichiometric heavy fermion compounds with established field-induced quantum critical points.

Phys. Lett. 262, 213 (1996)]. This approach circumvents the a posteriori application of the Wannier transformation to Bloch functions. I give a rigorous derivation of the relevant equations by introducing an orthogonalizing potential to ensure the orthogonality among the resulting functions. The properties of these, so-called a priori Wannier functions, are analyzed and the relation of the modified Hartree-Fock equations to the conventional, Bloch-function-based equations is elucidated. It is pointed out that the modified equations offer a different route to maximally localized Wannier functions. Their computational solution is found to involve an effort that is comparable to the effort for the solution of the conventional equations. Above all, I show how a priori Wannier functions can be obtained by a modification of the Kohn-Sham equations of density-functional theory.

We investigate the effects of the inclusion of increasingly more complex many-body treatments, starting from the single-particle approach and culminating with the configuration-interaction scheme. Our configuration-interaction results for the size dependence of the single-exciton radiative lifetime at room temperature are in excellent agreement with recent experimental data. We also find the following. (i) Whereas the polarization of the bright exciton emission is always perpendicular to the hexagonal c axis, the polarization of the dark exciton switches from perpendicular to parallel to the hexagonal c axis in large dots, in agreement with experiment. (ii) The ratio of the radiative lifetimes of mono- and biexcitons tau(X):tau(XX) is similar to 1:1 in large dots (R=19.2 A). This ratio increases with decreasing nanocrystal size, approaching 2 in small dots (R=10.3 A). (iii) The calculated ratio tau(X+):tau(X-) between positive and negative trion lifetimes is close to 2 for all dot sizes considered.

Comprehensive insight into the magnetization reversal processes was obtained by combining micromagnetic simulation with element- and depth-resolved x-ray resonant magnetic scattering. The approach unambiguously identifies distinctive composition profiles across the graded interface and provides the magnetization behavior of the diffused Co.

From the three-dimensional electron-density maps we derive the monolayer spacings, the chemical compositions, and the characteristics of the bonding for all atomic planes in the film and across the film-substrate interface. InAs films grown on GaSb(001) under two different As conditions (using dimer or tetramer forms) both showed conformal roughness and mixed GaAs/InSb interfacial bonding character. The As tetramer conditions favored InSb bonding at the interface while, in the case of the dimer, the percentages corresponding to GaAs and InSb bonding were equal within the experimental error. The GaSb film grown on InAs(001) displayed significant In and As interdiffusion and had a relatively large fraction of GaAs-like bonds at the interface.

TI Structure, magnetism, and conductivity in epitaxial Ti-doped alpha-Fe2O3 hematite: Experiment and density functional theory calculations SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID ELECTRONIC-STRUCTURE; ILMENITE; GROWTH; SN AB We explore the feasibility of growing epitaxial Ti-doped alpha-Fe2O3 hematite in which Ti(IV) substitutes for Fe(III) preferentially in one magnetic sublattice but not the other. Such a structure has been predicted by first-principles theory to be energetically favorable, and is expected to yield interesting and useful magnetic and electronic properties. However, we find experimentally that a majority of Ti dopants disperse and occupy random cation sites in both magnetic sublattices. Density functional theory predicts that the magnetically ordered and magnetically random structures are nearly isoenergetic.

TI Separation of energy scales in the kagome antiferromagnet TmAgGe: A magnetic-field-orientation study up to 55 T SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article AB TmAgGe is an antiferromagnet in which the spins are confined to distorted kagome-like planes at low temperatures. We report angle-dependent measurements of the magnetization M in fields of up to 55 T that show that there are two distinct and separate energy scales present in TmAgGe, each responsible for a set of step-like metamagnetic transitions: weak exchange interactions and strong crystalline-electric-field (CEF) interactions. Simulations of M using a three-dimensional, free-energy minimization technique allow us to specify the physical origin of the metamagnetic transitions in low, in-plane fields. We also show that the transitions observed with the field perpendicular to the kagome planes are associated with the CEF-split multiplet of Tm. C1 Univ Oxford, Clarendon Lab, Oxford OX1 3PU, England.

In the metallic-ferromagnetic doping range, important properties of these materials, such as nanoscale phase separation, are due to competing double-exchange ordering interactions and disordering Jahn-Teller (JT) distortions. The present experiments have used low magnetic field NMR of the Mn-55 and Co-59 transition metal ion nuclei in x=0.3 samples to obtain information on changes in hyperfine couplings and spin dynamics as a function of temperature. At low temperatures, anisotropy effects linked to lattice distortions are more important in LSCO than in LSMO. Structural distortions become important in LSMO above 120 K.

TI Temperature behavior of the photoluminescence decay of semiconducting carbon nanotubes: The effective lifetime SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article AB The temperature dependence of the photoluminescence decay of excitons in single-walled carbon nanotubes was measured for two nanotube species, (7,6) and (7,5), representative of the two nanotube (n-m)mod 3 families. A monotonic increase of the photoluminescence lifetime with decreasing temperature is observed. The external strain induced by lowering the temperature below the freezing point of the solution leads to an overall lowering of the photoluminescence lifetime. This effect indicates that the measured lifetime is defined by the intrinsic electronic properties of carbon nanotubes and could be understood as an exchange interaction between bright and dark excitonic states. We find the lifetime to vary between 223 and 319 ps between 290 and 5 K, obtained by a multiexponential fit, well in agreement with previous experiments.

TI Role of electron-phonon interactions and external strain on the electronic properties of semiconducting carbon nanotubes SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID DEPENDENT EXCITON LINEWIDTHS; GAAS QUANTUM-WELLS; TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENCE; CRITICAL-POINTS; DIRECT-GAP; SCATTERING; PRESSURE; BROADENINGS; GERMANIUM; GE AB The electron-phonon interactions determine the temperature dependent photoluminescence of semiconducting carbon nanotubes. Both effects, the energy shifts and spectral narrowing of the transitions, can be attributed to the electron-phonon interaction. In this paper, we present an accurate measurement of the temperature induced broadening of the photoluminescence transitions of carbon nanotubes, and model this broadening in terms of the theory, previously used to model the thermal broadening of critical points in conventional semiconductors. Through this fitting procedure, parameters could be estimated which provide important insight into the strength of the electron-phonon interactions. Moreover, careful studies of the energy shifts induced by the external strain had revealed a n-m family behavior. We further conclude that using a mathematical expression that combines the theory of semiconducting carbon nanotubes under hydrostatic pressure and strain, this family behavior observed experimentally could be theoretically reproduced, providing tools to model and predict the effect of strain on the electronic properties of carbon nanotubes.

TI High-resolution photoemission spectroscopy study of the single-domain Si(110)-16x2 surface SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID CORE-LEVEL SPECTROSCOPY; 16X2 SURFACE; RECONSTRUCTIONS; MODEL; 2X1 AB We have investigated the valence band structure and Si 2p photoemission spectra of the single-domain Si(110)-16x2 surface with higher resolution than previous studies. We found that the highest occupied surface state, reported to be dispersive in the previous studies, is resolved into the two surface states with flat energy dispersions. This reveals that the two surface states are not produced by Si pi-bonded chains, as suggested in the previous studies, but originate from the building blocks with spatially localized electronic structures such as a Si tetramer and a Si adatom. Si 2p line shapes show directly five surface components without any curve fitting. Various atomic structure models, especially the adatom-tetramer-interstitial model, of the Si(110)-16x2 surface are considered to figure out the atomistic origins of the surface components and states.

The reaction of the crystal to applied shear-strain loading is found to be highly anisotropic. When the external loading is removed, the relaxation of the system is mainly defined by stretching, bending, and rotations of the NO2 groups of neighboring molecules from the two adjacent zigzag-shaped crystalline planes that were initially shifted. In general, the deformed molecular crystal relaxes to its initial, ideal crystalline FOX-7 structure. However, different planes remain shifted relatively to each other on vectors, which are typically incommensurated with any translational vector of the ideal crystal. This fact makes an existence of ideal crystals of this material quite problematic. We also found that no metallization occurs under shear-strain loading. We suggest that the considered mechanisms of the shear-strain relaxation of the structural and electronic degrees of freedom are typical for layered anisotropic molecular crystals, and that they should significantly affect their chemical reactivity, conductivity, optical properties, and initiation of detonation in energetic materials.

The magnetic contribution to the specific heat is consistent with an exchange strength of 17.7(3) K. We find unambiguous evidence for a transition to a state of three-dimensional long-range order below a critical temperature T-N=4.21(1) K using mu+SR even though there is no feature in the specific heat at that temperature. The absence of a specific heat anomaly at T-N is consistent with recent theoretical predictions. The ratio of T-N/J=0.24 corresponds to a ratio of intralayer to interlayer exchange constants of parallel to J(')/J parallel to=6.8x10(-4), indicative of excellent two-dimensional isolation. The scaled magnetic specific heat of [Cu(Pz)(2)(HF2)]BF4, a compound with an analogous structure, is very similar to that of Cu(Pz)(2)(ClO4)(2) although both differ slightly from the predicted value for an ideal 2D S=1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet.

TI Hopping transport in granular superconductors SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID CONDUCTIVITY; FILMS; METAL AB We investigate hopping transport in granular superconductors in the weak-coupling insulating regime and find that it is governed by the interplay between the granule charging energy E-c and the single granule superconducting gap Delta. At E-c>Delta, the transport is mediated by single electron hopping, while at E-c mixed dumbbell are the lowest-energy configurations with similar stabilities. The P atoms are highly mobile in both configurations. The transitions between these two configurations also require low activation energies. The most likely mechanisms leading to long-distance diffusion of a P interstitial are proposed by ab initio calculations. The resulting effective diffusion energy estimated by the transport model is 0.19 eV, which agrees with the result from resistivity recovery experiments, suggesting that the Fe-P mixed dumbbells are more mobile than the SIAs. The fast-migrating P interstitial can be deeply trapped by a substitutional P atom. The resulting complexes are very stable with a binding energy of around 1.0 eV. Their mobilities are investigated by means of the dimer method using an Fe-P empirical potential. A comparison between the present predictions and existing experimental results is also discussed.

TI Topological invariants of time-reversal-invariant band structures SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article AB The topological invariants of a time-reversal-invariant band structure in two dimensions are multiple copies of the Z(2) invariant found by Kane and Mele. Such invariants protect the "topological insulator" phase and give rise to a spin Hall effect carried by edge states. Each pair of bands related by time reversal is described by one Z(2) invariant, up to one less than half the dimension of the Bloch Hamiltonians. In three dimensions, there are four such invariants per band pair. The Z(2) invariants of a crystal determine the transitions between ordinary and topological insulators as its bands are occupied by electrons. We derive these invariants using maps from the Brillouin zone to the space of Bloch Hamiltonians and clarify the connections between Z(2) invariants, the integer invariants that underlie the integer quantum Hall effect, and previous invariants of T-invariant Fermi systems.

The approach enables dynamic atomic assembly events to be observed as atoms condense to form thin film structures. During simulation of epitaxial growth, we observed a temperature-dependent arsenic solubility limit consistent with experimental results. The As-2 sticking probabilities and dynamic dimer-surface binding states for both gallium- and arsenic-terminated (001) surfaces were also explored. On gallium-terminated surfaces, significant switching between two weakly bound precursor states and an intermediate chemisorbed state was observed during the surface diffusion of arsenic dimers. The switching frequency was strongly temperature dependent. The arsenic dimers bound to arsenic-terminated surfaces were found to be more likely to desorb (instead of diffuse) when thermally perturbed from their adsorption sites. This sticking probability was strongly dependent on surface temperature, atomic adsorption site environment, and the orientation of the incoming dimer.

Among the many exotic consequences is the presence of deconfined fractional excitations (spinons), which propagate through the entire system. While a realistic electronic model on the pyrochlore lattice is close to the Klein point, this point is, in fact, inherently unstable because any perturbation epsilon restores spinon confinement at T=0. We demonstrate that deconfinement is recovered in the finite-temperature region epsilon < T < J, where the deconfined phase can be characterized as a dilute Coulomb gas of thermally excited spinons. We investigate the zero-temperature phase diagram away from the Klein point by means of a variational approach based on the singlet dimer coverings of the pyrochlore lattices and by taking into account their nonorthogonality. We find that in these systems, nearest-neighbor exchange interactions do not lead to Rokhsar-Kivelson-type processes. C1 Washington Univ, Dept Phys, St Louis, MO 63130 USA.

TI Magnetism of Gd5Ge4 from first principles SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID ELECTRONIC-STRUCTURE; MAGNETOOPTICAL PROPERTIES; CORRELATION-ENERGY; GD-5(SI2GE2); SYSTEMS; APPROXIMATION; SILICON AB The origin of ferromagnetism appearing as a result of a magnetic-field-induced first-order phase transition in Gd5Ge4 is explored by calculating the total energy, local exchange splitting, density of states, and magnetic moments. The calculations were performed using the tight-binding linear muffin-tin orbital method within the nonlocal exchange correlation parametrization in the density functional theory including the on-site Coulomb interaction parameter. The total energy as a function of shear distortion along the a axis for two different orthorhombic structures is in agreement with experiment, indicating a first-order magnetostructural transition in Gd5Ge4. The rearrangement of Gd 5d and Ge 4p densities of states, the substantial differences in atom-projected band energies, the exchange splitting, and the magnetic moments calculated with ferromagnetic spin arrangements in the orthorhombic Sm5Ge4-type and Gd5Si4-type structures of Gd5Ge4 help to clarify the differences in the magnetic states of these two structures. Our calculations indicate that the Sm5Ge4-type structure of Gd5Ge4 is the structural ground state and that it is antiferromagnetic. C1 Iowa State Univ, US DOE, Ames Lab, Ames, IA 50011 USA.

TI Magnetic endohedral metallofullerenes with floppy interiors SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID MRI CONTRAST AGENTS; NICKEL CLUSTERS; TRANSITION-METAL; MOLECULAR-BEAM; GD3N-AT-C-80; TEMPERATURE; GD3N AB It is shown that Gd3N@C-80 is a highly magnetic and very stable motif that allows enhanced contrast magnetic resonance imaging and electric dipole moment with potential for cancer treatment. Using a synergistic approach combining Stern-Gerlach experiments in beams and first-principles electronic structure studies, it is demonstrated that an isolated Gd3N has a ground state spin moment of 23 mu(B) followed by a noncollinear state of 17.2 mu(B) only 88 meV above the ground state. The large moment is largely due to localized f electrons. As a Gd3N is embedded inside a C-80 cage, the localized f electrons maintain the magnetic character while the hybridization between the s, d states of isolated Gd3N and p states of C-80 leads to a strongly bound motif with an interaction energy of 13.63 eV and a large highest-occupied-molecular-orbital-lowest-unoccupied-molecular-orbital gap of 1.48 eV. Gd3N@C-80 is further shown to possess two isomers corresponding to the location of the N atom on either side of the Gd-3 triangle with an appreciable electric dipole moment and a low barrier of 91 meV for transition between them offering potential for a fluctuating dipole.

Another interpretation of the XAS data leads to much larger ladder hole densities than previously suggested. These new hole densities lead to a simple interpretation of the hole Wigner crystal recently reported with 1/3 and 1/5 wave vectors along the ladder. Our interpretation is consistent with paired holes in the rung of the ladders. Exact diagonalization results for a minimal model of the doped ladders suggest that the stabilization of spin structures consisting of 4 spins in a square plaquette as a result of resonance valence bond physics suppresses the hole crystal with a 1/4 wave vector.

The technique of k-space mapping of the exchange-split Fermi surface is employed to detect standing waves confined to the ferromagnetic layer. A drastic spin asymmetry of this effect is achieved for a specific matching of the Fermi-surface topologies of film and substrate, respectively. For Fe(110) films on a W substrate, intense standing waves are obtained exclusively for majority states, while minority states are virtually unaffected by the boundary.

This entails finding both the lattice type (e.g., fcc, bcc, and orthorhombic) and (for compounds) the decoration of the lattice sites by atoms of types A, B, etc. ("configuration"). Most approaches to this problem either assumed that both lattice type and configuration are known, optimizing instead the cell volume and performing local relaxation. Other approaches assumed that the lattice type is known, searching for the minimum-energy decoration. We present here an approach to the global space-group optimization (GSGO) problem, i.e., the problem of predicting both the lattice structure and the atomic configuration of a crystalline solid. This search method is based on an evolutionary algorithm within which a population of crystal structures is evolved through mating and mutation operations, improving the population by substituting the highest total-energy structures with new ones. The crystal structures are not represented by bit strings as in conventional genetic algorithms. Instead, the evolutionary search is performed directly on the atomic positions and the unit-cell vectors after a similarity transformation is applied to bring structures of different unit-cell shapes to a common basis. Following this transformation, we can define a crossover operation that treats, on the same footing, structures with different unit-cell shapes. Once a new structure has been generated by mating or mutation, it is fully relaxed to the closest local total-energy minimum. We applied our procedure for the GSGO in the context of pseudopotential total-energy calculations to the semiconductor systems Si, SiC, and GaAs and to the metallic alloy AuPd with composition Au8Pd4. Starting from random unit-cell vectors and random atomic positions, the present search procedure found for all semiconductor systems studied the correct lattice structure and configuration. In the case of Au8Pd4, the search retrieved the correct underlying fcc lattice, but energetically closely spaced (similar to 2 meV/at.) alloy configurations were not resolved. This approach to GSGO opens the way to predicting unsuspected structures by direct optimization using, in the cases noted above, an order of 100 total-energy ab initio calculations.

Using temperature accelerated dynamics (TAD), we characterize the kinetics of defects in three spinel oxides: magnesium aluminate MgAl2O4, magnesium gallate MgGa2O4, and magnesium indate MgIn2O4. These materials have varying tendencies to disorder on the cation sublattices. In order to understand chemical composition effects, we first examine defect kinetics in perfectly ordered, or normal, spinels, focusing on point defects on each sublattice. We then examine the role that cation disorder has on defect mobility. Using TAD, we find that disorder creates local environments which strongly trap point defects, effectively reducing their mobility. We explore the consequences of this trapping via kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations on the oxygen vacancy (V-O) in MgGa2O4, finding that V-O mobility is directly related to the degree of inversion in the system.

The values of the differential Avrami exponent are also determined from the isothermal data. Assuming diffusion-controlled growth, it is shown that thermal treatment of the samples in the supercooled liquid region considerably influences the behavior of the nucleation rate during the crystallization process. Microstructural investigations indicate that the thermal treatment is accompanied by precipitation of fine nanocrystals in an amorphous matrix. The values for the activation energies determined by both the Kissinger approach and the JMA analysis are similar for the as-prepared powder, but a significant difference is found for the thermally treated powders. This discrepancy is explained on the basis of the fundamental assumptions made in the models. It will be shown that the Kissinger method fails if the differential Avrami exponent changes significantly during the transformation process.

The elastic properties and ultimate strengths properties of Al2OC are determined from first-principles calculations. The crystal structure of Al2OC was approximated by an optimized model based on the wurtzite structure. The full set of single-crystal elastic stiffness c(ij) was calculated, from which the polycrystalline elastic constants were obtained by using the Voigt-Reuss-Hill averaging scheme. The tensile properties and the ideal strength in [001] direction of Al2OC were also computed and compared to those of SiC, where it was found that indeed, Al2OC is the weaker and more brittle phase, supporting fracture mechanics expectations for SiC containing Al2OC-type intergranular films.

CA STAR Collaboration TI Delta phi Delta eta correlations in central Au plus Au collisions at root S-NN = 200 GeV SO PHYSICAL REVIEW C LA English DT Article ID QUARK-GLUON PLASMA; ANGULAR-CORRELATIONS; HADRONIZATION; MODEL; RHIC/LHC AB We report charged particle pair correlation analyses in the space of Delta phi (azimuth) and Delta eta (pseudorapidity), for central Au+Au collisions at root s(NN)=200 GeV in the STAR detector. The analysis involves unlike-sign charged pairs and like-sign charged pairs, which are transformed into charge-dependent (CD) signals and charge-independent (CI) signals. We present detailed parametrizations of the data. A model featuring dense gluonic hot spots as first proposed by Van Hove predicts that the observables under investigation would have sensitivity to such a substructure should it occur, and the model also motivates selection of transverse momenta in the range 0.8 < p(t)< 2.0 GeV/c. Both CD and CI correlations of high statistical significance are observed, and possible interpretations are discussed. C1 Univ Birmingham, Birmingham, W Midlands, England.

The neutron magnetic form factor G(M)(n) was extracted at Q(2) values of 0.1 and 0.2 (GeV/c)(2) using a nonrelativistic Faddeev calculation which includes both final-state interactions (FSI) and meson-exchange currents (MEC). Theoretical uncertainties due to the FSI and MEC effects were constrained with a precision measurement of the spin-dependent asymmetry in the threshold region of He-3(e,e(')). We also extracted the neutron magnetic form factor G(M)(n) at Q(2) values of 0.3 to 0.6 (GeV/c)(2) based on plane wave impulse approximation calculations. C1 Kent State Univ, Kent, OH 44242 USA.

The resulting trajectories in the (rho,epsilon) phase plane are discussed from the perspective of experimentally exploring the expected first-order hadronization phase transition with the planned FAIR at GSI or in a low-energy campaign at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider.

CA CLAS Collaboration TI Quark-hadron duality in spin structure functions g(1)(p) and g(1)(d) SO PHYSICAL REVIEW C LA English DT Article ID RESONANCE-REGION; LOCAL DUALITY; FORM-FACTORS; SCATTERING; NUCLEON; TARGET; ELECTROPRODUCTION; ASYMMETRY; BEHAVIOR; PROTON AB New measurements of the spin structure functions of the proton and deuteron g(1)(p)(x,Q(2)) and g(1)(d)(x,Q(2)) in the nucleon resonance region are compared with extrapolations of target-mass-corrected next-to-leading-order (NLO) QCD fits to higher energy data. Averaged over the entire resonance region (W < 2 GeV), the data and QCD fits are in good agreement in both magnitude and Q(2) dependence for Q(2 >)1.7 GeV2/c(2). This "global" duality appears to result from cancellations among the prominent "local" resonance regions: in particular strong sigma(3/2) contributions in the Delta(1232) region appear to be compensated by strong sigma(1/2) contributions in the resonance region centered on 1.5 GeV. These results are encouraging for the extension of NLO QCD fits to lower W and Q(2) than have been used previously. C1 Thomas Jefferson Natl Accelerator Facil, Newport News, VA 23606 USA.

CA CLAS Collaboration TI First measurement of beam-recoil observables C-x and C-z in hyperon photoproduction SO PHYSICAL REVIEW C LA English DT Article ID PSEUDOSCALAR MESON PHOTOPRODUCTION; PHOTON ENERGIES; KAON PHOTOPRODUCTION; POLARIZATION; RESONANCES; SPIN; P(GAMMA; LAMBDA; BREMSSTRAHLUNG; K&LAMBDA AB Spin transfer from circularly polarized real photons to recoiling hyperons has been measured for the reactions gamma+p -> K++Lambda and gamma+p -> K++Sigma(0). The data were obtained using the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS) detector at the Jefferson Lab for center-of-mass energies W between 1.6 and 2.53 GeV, and for -0.85 < cos theta(+c.m.)(K)<+0.95. For the Lambda, the polarization transfer coefficient along the photon momentum axis, C-z, was found to be near unity for a wide range of energy and kaon production angles. The associated transverse polarization coefficient C-x is smaller than C-z by a roughly constant difference of unity. Most significantly, the total Lambda polarization vector, including the induced polarization P, has magnitude consistent with unity at all measured energies and production angles when the beam is fully polarized. For the Sigma(0) this simple phenomenology does not hold. All existing hadrodynamic models are in poor agreement with these results. C1 Carnegie Mellon Univ, Pittsburgh, PA 15213 USA.

TI Spin dependence of K mixing, strong configuration mixing, and electromagnetic properties of Hf-178 SO PHYSICAL REVIEW C LA English DT Article ID COULOMB-EXCITATION; TRANSITION-PROBABILITIES; BARRIER PENETRATION; VIBRATIONAL-STATES; NUCLEAR-STRUCTURE; DEFORMED-NUCLEI; ROTATIONAL BAND; ISOMERIC STATE; GAMMA-RAYS; DECAY AB The combined data of two Coulomb excitation experiments has verified the purely electromagnetic population of the K-pi=4(+),6(+),8(-), and 16(+) rotational bands in Hf-178 via 2 <=nu <= 14 K-forbidden transitions, quantifying the breakdown of the K-selection rule with increasing spin in the low-K bands. The gamma-, 4(+), and 6(+) bands were extended, and four new states in a rotational band were tentatively assigned to a previously known K-pi=0(+) band. The quasiparticle structure of the 6(+) (t(1/2)=77 ns) and 8(-) (t(1/2)=4 s) isomer bands were evaluated, showing that the gyromagnetic ratios of the 6(+) isomer band are consistent with a pure pi(7)/(+)(2)[404],pi(5)/(+)(2)[402] structure. The 8(-) isomer band at 1147 keV and the second 8(-) band at 1479 keV, thought to be predominantly nu(7)/(-)(2)[514],nu(9)/(+)(2)[624] and pi(9)/(-)(2)[514],pi(7)/(+)(2)[404], respectively, are mixed to a degree approaching the strong-mixing limit. Based on measured < K-pi=16(+)parallel to E2 parallel to K-pi=0(+)> matrix elements, it was shown that heavy-ion bombardment could depopulate the 16(+) isomer at the similar to 1% level, although no states were found that would mediate photodeexcitation of the isomer via low-energy x-ray absorption.

The flavor dependence of the elliptic flow can be consistently described in the low and intermediate p(T) if the transverse kinetic energy is conserved in the 2 -> 1 or 3 -> 1 parton coalescence process at the hadronization. Thus suggesting the quark coalescence as a possible hadronization mechanism at low p(T) as well. C1 Columbia Univ, New York, NY 10027 USA. Nevis Labs, Irvington, NY 10533 USA.

The bulk of the data cover the range of short coherence length, where the amplitudes of the DY reaction on different nucleons do not interfere. In this regime, DY processes provide direct information about broadening of the transverse momentum of the projectile parton experiencing initial-state multiple interactions. We revise a previous analysis of data from the E772 experiment and perform a new analysis of broadening including data from the E866 experiment at Fermilab. We conclude that the observed broadening is about twice as large as the one found previously. This helps to settle controversies that arose from a comparison of the original determination of broadening with data from other experiments and reactions.

TI Threshold effects in multichannel coupling and spectroscopic factors in exotic nuclei SO PHYSICAL REVIEW C LA English DT Article ID R-MATRIX THEORY; CROSS-SECTIONS; ELASTIC SCATTERING; ENERGY DEPENDENCE; RESONANT STATES; D,P; CHANNELS; E,E'P AB In the threshold region, the cross section and the associated overlap integral obey the Wigner threshold law that results in the Wigner-cusp phenomenon. Due to flux conservation, a cusp anomaly in one channel manifests itself in other open channels, even if their respective thresholds appear at a different energy. The shape of a threshold cusp depends on the orbital angular momentum of a scattered particle; hence, studies of Wigner anomalies in weakly bound nuclei with several low-lying thresholds can provide valuable spectroscopic information. In this work, we investigate the threshold behavior of spectroscopic factors in neutron-rich drip-line nuclei using the Gamow shell model, which takes into account many-body correlations and the continuum effects. The presence of threshold anomalies is demonstrated and the implications for spectroscopic factors are discussed. C1 Univ Tennessee, Dept Phys & Astron, Knoxville, TN 37996 USA.

In this scheme, the very sensitive dependence of the internal part of the nuclear potential on the nuclear equation of state determines a reduction of the classically allowed region for overlapping configurations and consequently a decrease in the fusion cross sections at bombarding energies far below the barrier. Within the coupled-channels method, including couplings to the low-lying 2(+) and 3(-) states in both target and projectile as well as mutual and two-phonon excitations of these states, we calculate and compare with the experimental data the fusion cross sections, S factors, and logarithmic derivatives for the above-mentioned systems and find good agreement with the data even at the lowest energies. We predict, in particular, a distinct double peaking in the S factor for the far sub-barrier fusion of Ni-58+Ni-58, which should be tested experimentally.

New collective band structures were observed, and previously known rotational and vibrational bands in these nuclei were extended to higher angular momenta. No obvious nucleon alignment was observed in the ground state band of either nucleus up to h omega=0.43 MeV, a significant delay compared to lighter even-even Hf isotopes.

TI Differential cross section for neutron-proton bremsstrahlung SO PHYSICAL REVIEW C LA English DT Article ID NUCLEON-NUCLEON BREMSSTRAHLUNG AB The neutron-proton bremsstrahlung process (np -> np gamma) is known to be sensitive to meson exchange currents in the nucleon-nucleon interaction. The triply differential cross section for this reaction has been measured for the first time at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center, using an intense, pulsed beam of up to 700-MeV neutrons to bombard a liquid hydrogen target. Scattered neutrons were observed at six angles between 12(degrees) and 32(degrees), and the recoil protons were observed in coincidence at 12(degrees),20(degrees), and 28(degrees) on the opposite side of the beam. Measurement of the neutron and proton energies at known angles allows full kinematic reconstruction of each event. The data are compared with predictions of two theoretical calculations, based on relativistic soft-photon and nonrelativistic potential models. C1 MIT, Dept Phys, Cambridge, MA 02139 USA.

These data were obtained over the energy range from 70 to 240 MeV, covering momentum transfer values from 0.6 to 2.5 fm(-1). In this momentum transfer range, the isovector tensor effective interaction dominates the transition. Cross sections are compared to zero- and finite-range distorted wave impulse approximation calculations using modern free and density-dependent effective interactions and a transition density consistent with (e,e(')) data. Good agreement is observed at energies above 120 MeV, but below this energy the cross sections are larger than the calculated values by more than 40%.

TI The La-139(n,gamma) cross section: Key for the onset of the s-process SO PHYSICAL REVIEW C LA English DT Article ID METAL-POOR STARS; NEUTRON-CAPTURE ELEMENTS; GIANT BRANCH STARS; GALACTIC CHEMICAL EVOLUTION; R-PROCESS ELEMENTS; COOL DWARF STARS; RESONANCE SPECTROSCOPY; N-TOF; DISPERSION SPECTROGRAPH; PROCESS NUCLEOSYNTHESIS AB The nuclear resonance parameters and the capture cross section of the neutron magic isotope La-139 have been measured relative to Au-197 in the energy range of 0.6 eV to 9 keV at the neutron time-of-flight (n_TOF) facility at CERN. We describe the experimental apparatus and the data analysis procedures, which concerned mainly the efficiency correction by means of the pulse height weighting function technique and the determination of different background components. We extracted the resonance parameters and the main nuclear quantities such as the resonance integral RI=10.8 +/- 1.0b, the average gamma widths for s and p waves (l=0)=50.7 +/- 5.4 meV and (l=1)=33.6 +/- 6.9 meV, the nuclear level densities < D >(l=0)=252 +/- 22 eV and < D >(l=1)< 250 eV, and the neutron strength functions S-0=(0.82 +/- 0.05)x10(-4) and S-1=(0.55 +/- 0.04)x10(-4). These results represent a significant improvement over previous data. The deduced Maxwellian-averaged capture cross sections are important for the interpretation of the most recent spectroscopic observations in low-metallicity stars.

TI Neutron induced fission cross section of Np-237 from 100 keV to 200 MeV SO PHYSICAL REVIEW C LA English DT Article ID U-235 AB An experimental program at Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) has been developed to precisely measure fission cross sections over ten decades in incident neutron energy for a range of actinides relevant to advanced nuclear reactor designs and transmutation concepts. The first completed measurement is of Np-237(n,f), and the above-reaction-threshold part of the measurement is reported here. The result is in close agreement with ENDF/B-VI in the energy region of first- and second-chance fission. The cross section ratio to U-235 is shown to be constant from 30 MeV to the highest measured energy of 200 MeV. C1 Los Alamos Natl Lab, Los Alamos, NM 87545 USA.

TI Limits on the radiative decay of sterile neutrino dark matter from the unresolved cosmic and soft X-ray backgrounds SO PHYSICAL REVIEW D LA English DT Article ID MILKY-WAY; CHANDRA; MODELS; HALO; OSCILLATIONS; CONSTRAINTS; PARTICLES; GALAXIES; CORE AB We present upper limits on line emission in the Cosmic X-ray background (CXB) that would be produced by decay of sterile neutrino dark matter. We employ the spectra of the unresolved component of the CXB in the Chandra Deep Fields North and South obtained with the Chandra CCD detector in the E=0.8-9 keV band. The expected decay flux comes from the dark matter on the lines of sight through the Milky Way galactic halo. Our constraints on the sterile neutrino decay rate are sensitive to the modeling of the Milky Way halo. The highest halo mass estimates provide a limit on the sterile neutrino mass of m(s)< 2.9 keV in the Dodelson-Widrow production model, while the lowest halo mass estimates provide the conservative limit of m(s)< 5.7 keV (2 sigma). We also discuss constraints from a short observation of the softer (E < 1 keV) X-ray background with a rocket-borne calorimeter by McCammon and collaborators.

CA CDF Collaboration TI Measurement of the helicity fractions of W bosons from top quark decays using fully reconstructed t(t)over-bar events with CDF II SO PHYSICAL REVIEW D LA English DT Article ID ELECTROMAGNETIC CALORIMETER; PARTON DISTRIBUTIONS; SEMILEPTONIC DECAYS; COLLIDER DETECTOR; QCD CORRECTIONS; POLARIZED W; FERMILAB; WIDTH; MODEL AB We present a measurement of the fractions F-0 and F+ of longitudinally polarized and right-handed W bosons in top-quark decays using data collected with the CDF II detector. The data set used in the analysis corresponds to an integrated luminosity of approximately 318 pb(-1). We select t (t) over bar candidate events with one lepton, at least four jets, and missing transverse energy. Our helicity measurement uses the decay angle theta(*), which is defined as the angle between the momentum of the charged lepton in the W boson rest frame and the W momentum in the top-quark rest frame. The cos theta(*) distribution in the data is determined by full kinematic reconstruction of the t (t) over bar candidates. We find F-0=0.85(-0.22)(+0.15)(stat)+/- 0.06(syst) and F+=0.05(-0.05)(+0.11)(stat)+/- 0.03(syst), which is consistent with the standard model prediction. We set an upper limit on the fraction of right-handed W bosons of F+< 0.26 at the 95% confidence level. C1 Univ Illinois, Urbana, IL 61801 USA. Acad Sinica, Inst Phys, Taipei 11529, Taiwan.

CA BABAR Colaboration TI Measurements of Lambda(+)(c) branching fractions of Cabibbo-suppressed decay modes involving Lambda and Sigma(0) SO PHYSICAL REVIEW D LA English DT Article ID BARYON DECAYS; PHYSICS AB We measure the branching ratios of the Cabibbo-suppressed decays Lambda(+)(c)->Lambda K+ and Lambda(+)(c)->Sigma K-0(+) relative to the Cabibbo-favored decay modes Lambda(+)(c)->Lambda pi(+) and Lambda(+)(c)->Sigma(0)pi(+) to be 0.044 +/- 0.004 (stat.)+/- 0.003 (syst.) and 0.038 +/- 0.005 (stat.)+/- 0.003 (syst.), respectively. We set an upper limit on the branching ratio at the 90% confidence level for Lambda(+)(c)->Lambda K+pi(+)pi(-) of 4.1x10(-2) relative to Lambda(+)(c)->Lambda pi(+), and for Lambda(+)(c)->Sigma K-0(+)pi(+)pi(-) of 2.0x10(-2) relative to Lambda(+)(c)->Sigma(0)pi(+). We also measure the branching fraction for the Cabibbo-favored mode Lambda(+)(c)->Sigma(0)pi(+) relative to Lambda(+)(c)->Lambda pi(+) to be 0.977 +/- 0.015 (stat.)+/- 0.051 (syst.). This analysis was performed using a data sample with an integrated luminosity of 125 fb(-1) collected by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B factory at SLAC.

TI Measurement of B decays to phi K gamma SO PHYSICAL REVIEW D LA English DT Article ID STANDARD MODEL AB We search for the decays B-->phi K-gamma and (B) over bar (0)->phi(K) over bar (0)gamma in a data sample of 228x10(6) B (B) over bar pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector. We measure the branching fraction B(B-->phi K-gamma)=(3.5 +/- 0.6 +/- 0.4)x10(-6) and set an upper limit B((B) over bar (0)->phi($) over bar (0)gamma)< 2.7x10(-6) at the 90% confidence level. We also measure the direct CP asymmetry in B-->phi K-gamma, A(CP)=(-26 +/- 14 +/- 5)%. The uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively.

TI Associated charmonium production in low energy p(p)over-bar annihilation SO PHYSICAL REVIEW D LA English DT Article ID J/PSI AB The QCD mechanisms underlying the exclusive strong decays and hadronic production amplitudes of charmonium remain poorly understood, despite decades of study and an increasingly detailed body of experimental information. One set of hadronic channels of special interest are those that include baryon-antibaryon states. These are being investigated experimentally at BES and CLEO-c in terms of their baryon resonance content, and are also of interest for the future PANDA experiment, in which charmonium and charmonium hybrids will be produced in p (p) over bar annihilation in association with light mesons. In this paper we develop a simple initial-state light meson emission model of the near-threshold associated charmonium production processes p (p) over bar ->pi(0)Psi, and evaluate the differential and total cross sections for these reactions in this model. (Here we consider the states Psi=eta(c), J/psi, psi('), chi(0) and chi(1).) The predicted near-threshold cross section for p (p) over bar ->pi(0)J/psi is found to be numerically similar to two previous theoretical estimates, and is roughly comparable to the (sparse) existing data for this process. The theoretical charmonium angular distributions predicted by this model are far from isotropic, which may be of interest for PANDA detector design studies.

We present a next-to-leading-order calculation of the cross section at the Fermilab Tevatron and the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The next-to-leading-order cross section differs substantially from that at leading order, and we provide a context in which to understand this result.

We focus on collider searches for heavy MSSM Higgs bosons (A,H,H-+/-) and how the prospects for these searches are impacted by direct dark matter limits and vice versa. We find that the prospects of these two experimental programs are highly interrelated. A positive detection of A, H or H-+/- at the Tevatron would dramatically enhance the prospects for a near future direct discovery of neutralino dark matter. Similarly, a positive direct detection of neutralino dark matter would enhance the prospects of discovering heavy MSSM Higgs bosons at the Tevatron or the LHC. Combining the information obtained from both types of experimental searches will enable us to learn more about the nature of supersymmetry.

TI Gauge trimming of neutrino masses SO PHYSICAL REVIEW D LA English DT Article ID FERMION MASSES; CP-VIOLATION; DARK-MATTER; SYMMETRY; MATRICES; ANARCHY; MODELS; ANGLES; BBN AB We show that under a new U(1) gauge symmetry, which is nonanomalous in the presence of one "right-handed neutrino" per generation and consistent with the standard model Yukawa couplings, the most general fermion charges are determined in terms of four rational parameters. This generalization of the B-L symmetry with generation-dependent lepton charges leads to neutrino masses induced by operators of high dimensionality. Neutrino masses are thus naturally small without invoking physics at energies above the TeV scale, whether neutrinos are Majorana or Dirac fermions. This "leptocratic" model predicts the existence of light quasisterile neutrinos with consequences for cosmology, and implies that collider experiments may reveal the origin of neutrino masses.

We show that a two quark system in a fixed color representation is screened at short distances like a single quark source in the same color representation whereas at large distances the two quarks are screened independently. At high temperatures we observe that the relative strength of the interaction in diquark and quark-antiquark systems, respectively, obeys Casimir scaling. We use this result to examine the possible existence of heavy quark-quark bound states in the high temperature phase of QCD. We find support for the existence of bb states up to about 2T(c) while cc states are unlikely to be formed above T-c. C1 Univ Bielefeld, Fak Phys, D-33615 Bielefeld, Germany.

TI Generalized parton distributions and rapidity gap survival in exclusive diffractive pp scattering SO PHYSICAL REVIEW D LA English DT Article ID HADRON-HADRON-COLLISIONS; IMPACT PARAMETER SPACE; ELASTIC-SCATTERING; (P)OVER-BAR-P COLLISIONS; HIGGS PRODUCTION; LHC; NUCLEON; HERA; AMPLITUDES; PARTICLES AB We study rapidity gap survival (RGS) in the production of high-mass systems (H=dijet, heavy quarkonium, Higgs boson) in double-gap exclusive diffractive pp scattering, pp -> p+(gap)+H+(gap)+p. Our approach is based on the idea that hard and soft interactions are approximately independent because they proceed over widely different time and distance scales. We implement this idea in a partonic description of proton structure, which allows for a model-independent treatment of the interplay of hard and soft interactions. The high-mass system is produced in a hard scattering process with exchange of two gluons between the protons, whose amplitude is calculable in terms of the gluon generalized parton distribution (GPD), measured in exclusive ep scattering. The hard scattering process is modified by soft spectator interactions, which we calculate neglecting correlations between hard and soft interactions (independent interaction approximation). We obtain an analytic expression for the RGS probability in terms of the phenomenological pp elastic scattering amplitude, without reference to the eikonal approximation. Contributions from inelastic intermediate states are suppressed. The onset of the black-disk limit in pp scattering at TeV energies strongly suppresses diffraction at small impact parameters and is the main factor in determining the RGS probability. Correlations between hard and soft interactions (e.g. due to scattering from the long-range pion field of the proton or due to possible short-range transverse correlations between partons) further decrease the RGS probability. We also investigate the dependence of the diffractive cross section on the transverse momenta of the final-state protons ("diffraction pattern"). By measuring this dependence one can perform detailed tests of the interplay of hard and soft interactions and even extract information about the gluon GPD in the proton. Such studies appear to be feasible with the planned forward detectors at the Large Hadron Collider. C1 Tel Aviv Univ, Sch Phys & Astron, IL-61390 Tel Aviv, Israel.

TI Observation of the anisotropy of 10 TeV primary cosmic ray nuclei flux with the Super-Kamiokande-I detector SO PHYSICAL REVIEW D LA English DT Article AB The relative sidereal variation in the arrival direction of primary cosmic ray nuclei of median energy 10 TeV was measured using downward, through-going muons detected with the Super-Kamiokande-I detector. The projection of the anisotropy map onto the right ascension axis has a first harmonic amplitude of (6.64 +/- 0.98 stat +/- 0.55 syst)x10(-4) and a phase at maximum at (33.2 degrees +/- 8.2 degrees stat +/- 5.1 degrees syst) right ascension. A sky map in equatorial coordinates indicates an excess region in the constellation of Taurus and a deficit region toward Virgo. The excess region is centered at (alpha(T),delta(T))=(75 degrees +/- 7 degrees,-5 degrees +/- 9 degrees) with a half-opening angle chi(T)=(39 +/- 7)degrees; the excess flux is (0.104 +/- 0.020)% above the isotropic expectation. The corresponding parameters for the deficit region are (alpha(V),delta(V))=(205 degrees +/- 7 degrees,5 degrees +/- 10 degrees), chi(V)=(54 +/- 7)degrees, and (-0.094 +/- 0.014)%. The data do not allow us to rule out a pure dipole form for the anisotropy (allowed at 13% confidence level); they are better described by the excess and deficit cones described above. We explored the implications under the assumption that the true anisotropy is not distorted too much by the analysis filter so that it is well-described by the observed excess and deficit cones.

Moreover, the abundance of gravitinos explains correct amount of dark matter of the universe. The dark matter abundance can be calculated without detailed information on the thermal history of the universe such as the reheating temperature after inflation.

Given that models with more rapid variation, or even phase transitions, are possible though, we examine the fineness in redshift with which cosmological probes can realistically be employed, and what constraints this could impose on dark energy behavior. In particular, we discuss various aspects of baryon acoustic oscillations, and their use to measure the Hubble parameter H(z).

We measure the branching ratio Gamma(D-0 ->pi(+)pi(-)pi(+)pi(-))/Gamma(D-0 -> K-pi(+)pi(-)pi(+))=0.0914 +/- 0.0018 +/- 0.0022. An amplitude analysis has been performed, a first for this channel, in order to determine the resonant substructure of this decay mode. The dominant component is the decay D-0 -> a(1)(1260)(+)pi(-), accounting for 60% of the decay rate. The second most dominant contribution comes from the decay D-0 ->rho(770)(0)rho(770)(0), with a fraction of 25%. We also study the a(1)(1260) line shape and resonant substructure. Using the helicity formalism for the angular distribution of the decay D-0 ->rho(770)(0)rho(770)(0), we measure a longitudinal polarization of P-L=(71 +/- 4 +/- 2)%.

These data sets are sensitive to different combinations of parton distribution functions in the large-x region and, therefore, provide different constraints when incorporated into global parton distribution function fits. We compare and contrast the effects of these new data on parton distribution fits, with special emphasis on the effects at large x. The effects of the use of nuclear targets in the neutrino and antineutrino data sets are also investigated. C1 Florida State Univ, Tallahassee, FL 32306 USA.

The virtual Compton scattering amplitudes for the weak neutral and charged currents are calculated at the leading twist within the framework of the nonlocal light-cone expansion via coordinate space QCD string operators.

Our proto-typical example is the topflavor model, in which there is a separate SU(2)(1) for the third generation from the SU(2)(2) felt by the first two generations. We show that the breakdown of SU(2)(1)xSU(2)(2)-> SU(2)(L) results in lepton number being asymmetrically distributed throughout the three families, and provided the SM electroweak phase transition is not strongly first order, results in a nonzero baryon number, which for parameter choices that can be explored at the LHC may explain the observed baryon asymmetry.

TI Determination of gamma from charmless B -> M1M2 decays using U-spin SO PHYSICAL REVIEW D LA English DT Article ID B MESON DECAYS; CP VIOLATION; QCD FACTORIZATION; ASYMMETRIES; SEARCH AB In our previous paper we applied U-spin symmetry to charmless hadronic B-+/-->(MM +/-)-M-0 decays for the purpose of precise extraction of the unitarity angle gamma. In this paper we extend our approach to neutral B-0 and B-s -> M1M2 decays. A very important feature of this method is that no assumptions regarding relative sizes of topological decay amplitudes need to be made. As a result, this method avoids an uncontrollable theoretical uncertainty that is often related to the neglect of some topological diagrams (e.g., exchange and annihilation graphs) in quark-diagrammatic approaches. In charged B-+/- decays, each of the four data sets, (PP +/-)-P-0, (PV +/-)-V-0, (VP +/-)-P-0 and (VV +/-)-V-0, with P equivalent to pseudoscalar and V equivalent to vector, can be used to obtain a value of gamma. Among neutral decays, only experimental data in the B-0, B-s -> P-P+ subsector is sufficient for a U-spin fit. Application of the U-spin approach to the current charged and neutral B decay data yields: gamma=(80(-8)(+6))degrees. In this method, which is completely data driven, in a few years we should be able to obtain a model-independent determination of gamma with an accuracy of O(few degrees).

The results are compared with estimates based on the Enskog transport theory and effective medium theories (EMT) for thermal and viscous transport. We find, in particular, that EMT remains well applicable for predicting both the shear viscosity and thermal conductivity of such suspensions when the colloidal particles have a "typical" mass, i.e., much larger than the liquid molecules. Very light colloidal particles on the other hand yield higher thermal conductivities, in disagreement with EMT. We also discuss the consequences of these results for some proposed mechanisms for thermal conduction in nanocolloidal suspensions. C1 Lawrence Livermore Natl Lab, Livermore, CA 94550 USA.

Unlike systems that are non-mean-field, for which a fluctuation can be represented by a single cluster in a properly chosen percolation model, a fluctuation in mean-field and near-mean-field systems consists of a large number of clusters, which we term fundamental clusters. The structure of the latter and the way that they form fluctuations has important physical consequences for phenomena as diverse as nucleation in supercooled liquids, spinodal decomposition and continuous ordering, and the statistical distribution of earthquakes. The effects due to the fundamental clusters implies that they are physical objects and not only mathematical constructs. C1 Boston Univ, Dept Phys, Boston, MA 02215 USA.

TI Smectic liquid crystals in an anisotropic random environment SO PHYSICAL REVIEW E LA English DT Article ID A PHASE-TRANSITION; X-RAY-SCATTERING; LIGHT-SCATTERING; II SUPERCONDUCTORS; QUENCHED DISORDER; CRITICAL-BEHAVIOR; HEAT-CAPACITY; GLASS PHASES; OCTYLCYANOBIPHENYL; ORDER AB We report a high-resolution x-ray scattering study of the smectic liquid crystal octylcyanobiphenyl (8CB) confined to aligned colloidal aerosil gels. The aligned gels introduce orientational fields that promote long-range nematic order while imposing positional random fields that couple to the smectic density wave and disrupt the formation of an ordered smectic phase. At low densities of aerosil, the low-temperature scattering intensity is consistent with the presence of a topologically ordered XY Bragg glass phase that is predicted to form in response to such anisotropic quenched disorder. The observed features of the phase include an algebraic decay of the smectic correlations, which is truncated at large length scales due to the imperfect nematic order, and a power-law exponent that agrees closely with the universal value predicted for the XY Bragg glass. At higher aerosil densities, deviations from the XY Bragg glass form are apparent. At high temperature, the scattering intensity displays pretransitional dynamic fluctuations associated with the destroyed nematic to smectic-A transition. The fluctuations obey quasicritical behavior over an extended range of reduced temperature. The effective critical exponents for the correlation lengths and smectic susceptibility differ systematically from those of pure 8CB, indicating that coupling of the nematic order to the gel suppresses its role in the smectic critical behavior.

TI Mode locking of a driven Bose-Einstein condensate SO PHYSICAL REVIEW E LA English DT Article ID AUTORESONANT NONSTATIONARY EXCITATION; RESONANCES; SOLITONS; PLASMAS; GAS AB We consider the dynamics of a driven Bose-Einstein condensate with positive scattering length. Employing an accustomed variational treatment we show that when the scattering length is time modulated as a{1+epsilon sin[omega(t)t]}, where omega(t) increases linearly in time, i.e., omega(t)=gamma t, the response frequency of the condensate locks to the eigenfrequency for small values of epsilon and gamma. A simple analytical model is presented which explains this phenomenon by mapping it to an auto-resonance, i.e., close to resonance the reduced equations describing the collective behavior of the condensate are equivalent to those of a virtual particle trapped in a finite-depth energy minimum of an effective potential.

We show that for any network, there exists an absolute upper bound, expressed in terms of vertex separators, for the scaling of gamma(c) with network size N, irrespective of the static routing protocol used. We then derive an estimate to this upper bound for scale-free networks and introduce a static routing protocol, the "hub avoidance protocol," which, for large packet insertion rates, is superior to the shortest path routing protocol.

TI Accurate iterative analytic solution of the Kapchinskij-Vladimirskij equations for the case of a matched beam SO PHYSICAL REVIEW SPECIAL TOPICS-ACCELERATORS AND BEAMS LA English DT Article ID ENVELOPE EQUATIONS; CHARGE AB The well-known Kapchinskij-Vladimirskij (KV) equations are difficult to solve in general, but the problem is simplified for the matched-beam case with sufficient symmetry. We show that the interdependence of the two KV equations is eliminated, so that only one needs to be solved - a great simplification. We present an iterative method of solution which can potentially yield any desired level of accuracy. The lowest level, the well-known smooth approximation, yields simple, explicit results with good accuracy for weak or moderate focusing fields. The next level improves the accuracy for high fields; we previously showed [Part. Accel. 52, 133 ( 1996)] how to maintain a simple explicit format for the results. That paper used expansion in a small parameter to obtain results of second-level accuracy. The present paper, using straightforward iteration, obtains equations of first, second, and third levels of accuracy. For a periodic lattice with beam matched to lattice, we use the lattice and beam parameters as input and solve for phase advances and envelope functions. We find excellent agreement with numerical solutions over a wide range of beam emittances and intensities. C1 Univ Calif Berkeley, Lawrence Berkeley Lab, Berkeley, CA 94720 USA.

TI Use of dual rf systems to accelerate large longitudinal emittance intense beam in a synchrotron SO PHYSICAL REVIEW SPECIAL TOPICS-ACCELERATORS AND BEAMS LA English DT Article AB Preserving the beam brightness and emittance during acceleration for high energy collider operation is a long-standing challenge for synchrotron injectors. Radio-frequency manipulation schemes used to produce bright bunches in these synchrotrons are often responsible for both beam loss and for the emittance dilution; the impact of such effects becomes the main obstacle to improve the collider luminosity. We have developed a scheme for acceleration of intense beam bunches of large longitudinal emittance using two rf systems. The development of such a method primarily came about to improve the overall injection to extraction efficiency of the antiproton beam in the Main Injector used for the proton-antiproton collider operation of the Tevatron at Fermilab. This technique is quite general and can be applied at other facilities. Multiparticle beam dynamics simulations of the scheme have shown that one can eliminate the beam loss and minimize the emittance growth. The scheme has been demonstrated with beam experiments in the Main Injector using the 2.5 and 53 MHz rf systems with harmonic ratio of 1:21. C1 Fermilab Natl Accelerator Lab, Batavia, IL 60510 USA.

TI Simulation of a high-average power free-electron laser oscillator SO PHYSICAL REVIEW SPECIAL TOPICS-ACCELERATORS AND BEAMS LA English DT Article ID FEL AB In this paper, we compare the 10 kW-Upgrade experiment at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility in Newport News, VA, with numerical simulations using the MEDUSA code. MEDUSA is a three-dimensional FEL simulation code that is capable of treating both amplifiers and oscillators in both the steady-state and time-dependent regimes. MEDUSA employs a Gaussian modal expansion, and treats oscillators by decomposing the modal representation at the exit of the wiggler into the vacuum Gaussian modes of the resonator and then analytically determining the propagation of these vacuum resonator modes through the resonator back to the entrance of the wiggler in synchronism with the next electron bunch. The bunch length in the experiment is of the order of 380-420 fsec FWHM. The experiment operates at a wavelength of about 1.6 microns and the wiggler is 30 periods in length; hence, the slippage time is about 160 fsec. Because of this, slippage is important, and must be included in the simulation. The observed single pass gain is 65%-75% and, given the experimental uncertainties, this is in good agreement with the simulation. Multipass simulations including the cavity detuning yield an output power of 12.4 kW, which is also in good agreement with the experiment.

After a proper truncation, the system of equations is closed and can be solved. This approach allows us to formulate within one framework several known instability mechanisms including the single-bunch mode-coupling instability, the coupled-bunch instability, the mode-coupling instability, and the coupled-mode coupled-bunch instability as particular cases.

TI Thermal stabilities and optimal operating parameters for the Oak Ridge Spallation Neutron Source superconducting linear accelerator SO PHYSICAL REVIEW SPECIAL TOPICS-ACCELERATORS AND BEAMS LA English DT Article AB The baseline Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) accelerator will provide a 1-GeV, 1.4-MW proton beam to a mercury target for the production of neutrons. The main acceleration for the H-beam is provided by 81 superconducting cavities installed in 23 cryomodules operating at 805 MHz. The design of the superconducting linac includes a 2.1-K, 2.5-kW cryogenic plant to maintain the cavities below the helium lambda point for efficient operation at high accelerating gradients. In this paper operating conditions are analyzed rather than the design ones, which still guarantees a high gradient operation without any temperature constraint. From the analysis it appears that the SNS superconducting linac can be operated at temperatures higher than 2.1 K, a fact resulting from both the pulsed nature of the superconducting cavities, the specific configuration of the existing cryogenic plant, and the operating frequency. General conditions are also given regarding the operation of pulsed superconducting cavities resonating at different frequencies. C1 Oak Ridge Natl Lab, Oak Ridge, TN 37831 USA.

Detailed, 1D particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations are carried out to examine the growth of the wave packet produced by a small amplitude density perturbation in the background plasma. Recent analytic and numerical work by Startsev and Davidson [Phys. Plasmas 13, 062108 (2006)] predicted reduced linear growth rates, which are indeed observed in the PIC simulations. Here, small-signal asymptotic gain factors are determined in a semianalytic analysis and compared with the simulation results in the appropriate limits. Nonlinear effects in the PIC simulations, including wave breaking and particle trapping, are found to limit the linear growth phase of the instability for both compressing and noncompressing beams.

TI Architecture of petawatt-class z-pinch accelerators SO PHYSICAL REVIEW SPECIAL TOPICS-ACCELERATORS AND BEAMS LA English DT Review ID DENSITY PHYSICS EXPERIMENTS; FUSION CAPSULE IMPLOSIONS; POST-HOLE CONVOLUTE; DRIVEN HOHLRAUMS; RADIATION SYMMETRY; ICF EXPERIMENTS; X-RAYS; ENERGY; POWER; DESIGN AB We have developed an accelerator architecture that can serve as the basis of the design of petawatt-class z-pinch drivers. The architecture has been applied to the design of two z-pinch accelerators, each of which can be contained within a 104-m-diameter cylindrical tank. One accelerator is driven by slow (similar to 1 mu s) Marx generators, which are a mature technology but which necessitate significant pulse compression to achieve the short pulses (<< 1 mu s) required to drive z pinches. The other is powered by linear transformer drivers (LTDs), which are less mature but produce much shorter pulses than conventional Marxes. Consequently, an LTD-driven accelerator promises to be (at a given pinch current and implosion time) more efficient and reliable. The Marx-driven accelerator produces a peak electrical power of 500 TW and includes the following components: (i) 300 Marx generators that comprise a total of 1. 8 x 10(4) capacitors, store 98 MJ, and erect to 5 MV; (ii) 600 water-dielectric triplate intermediate-store transmission lines, which also serve as pulse-forming lines; (iii) 600 5-MV laser-triggered gas switches; (iv) three monolithic radial-transmission- line impedance transformers, with triplate geometries and exponential impedance profiles; (v) a 6-level 5.5-m-diameter 15-MV vacuum insulator stack; (vi) six magnetically insulated vacuum transmission lines (MITLs); and (vii) a triple-post-hole vacuum convolute that adds the output currents of the six MITLs, and delivers the combined current to a z-pinch load. The accelerator delivers an effective peak current of 52 MA to a 10-mm-length z pinch that implodes in 95 ns, and 57 MA to a pinch that implodes in 120 ns. The LTD-driven accelerator includes monolithic radial transformers and a MITL system similar to those described above, but does not include intermediate-store transmission lines, multimegavolt gas switches, or a laser trigger system. Instead, this accelerator is driven by 210 LTD modules that include a total of 1 x 10(6) capacitors and 5 x 10(5) 200-kV electrically triggered gas switches. The LTD accelerator stores 182 MJ and produces a peak electrical power of 1000 TW. The accelerator delivers an effective peak current of 68 MA to a pinch that implodes in 95 ns, and 75 MA to a pinch that implodes in 120 ns. Conceptually straightforward upgrades to these designs would deliver even higher pinch currents and faster implosions. C1 Sandia Natl Labs, Albuquerque, NM 87185 USA.

TI Direct measurement of the transverse wakefields of tapered collimators SO PHYSICAL REVIEW SPECIAL TOPICS-ACCELERATORS AND BEAMS LA English DT Article AB We report on a recent set of measurements of the transverse wakefields from longitudinally tapered collimators. The measurements were performed with a low-emittance 1.19 GeV beam in the SLAC linac by inserting a collimator aperture into the beam path and reconstructing the vertical deflection of the beam as a function of the vertical position of the aperture. Each collimator in the experiment was designed to present a relatively large transverse impedance and to minimize the impedance from other contributions such as resistivity. In addition, the collimator parameters were chosen to provide some insight into the scaling of the transverse geometric wakefield as a function of the collimator's geometry. A description of the experimental apparatus and the aperture design, the method of data collection and analysis, and a comparison to theoretical and numerical predictions are presented.

TI Particle-in-cell beam dynamics simulations with a wavelet-based Poisson solver SO PHYSICAL REVIEW SPECIAL TOPICS-ACCELERATORS AND BEAMS LA English DT Article ID N-BODY SIMULATIONS; ADAPTIVE MESH REFINEMENT; DISCRETENESS; ALGORITHMS; CODE AB We report on a successful implementation of a three-dimensional wavelet-based solver for the Poisson equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions, optimized for use in particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. The solver is based on the operator formulation of the conjugate gradient algorithm, for which effectively diagonal preconditioners are available in wavelet bases. Because of the recursive nature of PIC simulations, a good initial approximation to the iterative solution is always readily available, which we demonstrate to be a key advantage in terms of overall computational speed. While the Laplacian remains sparse in a wavelet representation, the wavelet-decomposed potential and density can be rendered sparse through a procedure that amounts to simultaneous compression and denoising of the data. We explain how this procedure can be carried out in a controlled and near-optimal way, and show the effect it has on the overall solver performance. After testing the solver in a stand-alone mode, we integrated it into the IMPACT-T beam dynamics particle-in-cell code and extensively benchmarked it against the IMPACT-T with the native FFT-based Poisson solver. We present and discuss these benchmarking results, as well as the results of modeling the Fermi/NICADD photoinjector using IMPACT-T with the wavelet-based solver.

TI Isobar channels in the production of pi(+)pi(-) pairs on a proton by virtual photons SO PHYSICS OF ATOMIC NUCLEI LA English DT Article ID NUCLEON-RESONANCE EXCITATION; ENERGY REGION; ELECTROPRODUCTION AB A new approach is developed for evaluating contributions of various isobar channels to the double charged-pion production in the reactions gamma(r,v)p --> pi(+)pi(-)p. This approach makes it possible to determine both respective cross sections and amplitudes for quasi-two-particle channels from a fit to data on cross sections for a three-particle final state. The diffractive anzatz, which is widely used to describe rho-meson production, is modified to meet the purpose of the description of data in the near-threshold and subthreshold regions. The cross sections for rho-meson electroproduction in the energy region of nucleon-resonance excitation are determined for the first time on the basis of the latest data of the CLAS Collaboration.

This paper presented the simulations of multiphase fluid motion in microchannels and microchannel networks using a modified dissipative particle dynamics method that employs a new conservative particle-particle interaction combining short-range repulsive and long-range attractive interactions to simulate multiphase systems. This new conservative particle-particle interaction allows the behavior of multiphase systems consisting of gases, liquids, and solids to be simulated. Three numerical examples that are closely related to engineering applications were simulated. These examples involve multiple fluid motions in (i) a simple microchannel within two parallel plates; (ii) an inverted Y-shaped microchannel junction consisting of a vertical channel that divides into two branch channels with the same aperture; and (iii) a microchannel network. The numerical results obtained by using DPD agreed well with those from other sources, and clearly demonstrated the potential value of this DPD method for modeling and analyzing multiphase flow in microchannels and microchannel networks.

TI Ionization front in a high-current gas discharge SO PHYSICS OF PLASMAS LA English DT Article ID MAGNETOPLASMADYNAMIC THRUSTER; MAGNETIC-FIELD; MPD THRUSTERS; PLASMA; ACCELERATION; ARGON AB Spectroscopic measurements of ion/neutral density ratio profiles are made inside the high-current, low-pressure discharge of a coaxial magnetoplasmadynamic thruster and show the existence of a thin ionization front, upstream in the discharge, that effectively ionizes the incoming gas to ionization levels above 50%. The measurements allow an estimate of the width of this ionization front to be on the order of a few millimeters. Due to the known existence of microturbulence in the plasma, which can produce suprathermal electrons, an explanation of the measurements based on the existence of a suprathermal tail in the electron energy distribution function is sought. A theoretical model for the width of the ionization front is combined with a multilevel excitation model for argon and shows that a Maxwellian electron distribution function cannot account for the small length scale of the ionization front, and that the latter is more consistent with an electron distribution function having a suprathermal population, the magnitude of which is estimated by comparing the model to the experiments.

TI Fluctuations and discrete particle noise in gyrokinetic simulation of drift waves SO PHYSICS OF PLASMAS LA English DT Article ID ALFVEN WAVES; PLASMA; TURBULENCE; INSTABILITIES; GEOMETRY; SCHEME AB The relevance of the gyrokinetic fluctuation-dissipation theorem (FDT) to thermal equilibrium and nonequilibrium states of the gyrokinetic plasma is explored, with particular focus being given to the contribution of weakly damped normal modes to the fluctuation spectrum. It is found that the fluctuation energy carried in the normal modes exhibits the proper scaling with particle count (as predicted by the FDT in thermal equilibrium) even in the presence of drift waves, which grow linearly and attain a nonlinearly saturated steady state. This favorable scaling is preserved, and the saturation amplitude of the drift wave unaffected, for parameter regimes in which the normal modes become strongly damped and introduce a broad spectrum of discreteness-induced background noise in frequency space.

Here we describe three different 03 Free-Air Exposure Systems that have been used successfully for exposure at all growth stages. These systems of spatially uniform 03 release have been shown to provide reliable 03 exposure with minimal, if any, impact on the microclimate. This methodology offers a welcome alternative to chamber studies which had severe space constraints precluding stand or community-level studies and substantial chamber effects on the microclimate and, hence physiological tree performance.

The results from free-air CO2 enrichment (FACE) experiments were summarized via meta-analysis to quantify the mean responses of stomatal and photosynthetic parameters to elevated [CO2]. Elevation of [CO2] in FACE experiments reduced stomatal conductance by 22%, yet, this reduction was not associated with a similar change in stomatal density. Elevated [CO2] stimulated light-saturated photosynthesis (A(sat)) in C-3 plants grown in FACE by an average of 31%. However, the magnitude of the increase in A(sat) varied with functional group and environment. Functional groups with ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco)-limited photosynthesis at elevated [CO2] had greater potential for increases in A(sat) than those where photosynthesis became ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RubP)-limited at elevated [CO2]. Both nitrogen supply and sink capacity modulated the response of photosynthesis to elevated [CO2] through their impact on the acclimation of carboxylation capacity. Increased understanding of the molecular and biochemical mechanisms by which plants respond to elevated [CO2], and the feedback of environmental factors upon them, will improve our ability to predict ecosystem responses to rising [CO2] and increase our potential to adapt crops and managed ecosystems to future atmospheric [CO2].

The most arsenic-resistant mutant shows increased arsenate and arsenite tolerance. Genetic analyses of the mutant indicate that the mutant contains two loci that contribute to arsenic tolerance, designated ars4 and ars5. The ars4ars5 double mutant contains a single T-DNA insertion, ars4, which co-segregates with arsenic tolerance and is inserted in the Phytochrome A (PHYA) gene, strongly reducing the expression of PHYA. When grown under far-red light conditions ars4ars5 shows the same elongated hypocotyl phenotype as the previously described strong phyA-211 allele. Three independent phyA alleles, ars4, phyA-211 and a new T-DNA insertion allele (phyA-t) show increased tolerance to arsenate, although to a lesser degree than the ars4ars5 double mutant. Analyses of the ars5 single mutant show that ars5 exhibits stronger arsenic tolerance than ars4, and that ars5 is not linked to ars4. Arsenic tolerance assays with phyB-9 and phot1/phot2 mutants show that these photoreceptor mutants do not exhibit phyA-like arsenic tolerance. Fluorescence HPLC analyses show that elevated levels of phytochelatins were not detected in ars4, ars5 or ars4ars5, however increases in the thiols cysteine, gamma-glutamylcysteine and glutathione were observed. Compared with wild type, the total thiol levels in ars4, ars5 and ars4ars5 mutants were increased up to 80% with combined buthionine sulfoximine and arsenic treatments, suggesting the enhancement of mechanisms that mediate thiol synthesis in the mutants. The presented findings show that PHYA negatively regulates a pathway conferring arsenic tolerance, and that an enhanced thiol synthesis mechanism contributes to the arsenic tolerance of ars4ars5.

Self-consistent transport simulations with improved core confinement have first clarified that the redistribution of 'return current' induced after the NBCD turn-off lowers the safety factor of magnetic shear reversal, q(min). Linear MHD stability analysis has also revealed that this lowering of safety factor leads to n = 1 kink-ballooning instability with the modes localized around the internal transport barrier (ITB) of higher q(min) (similar to 6) discharges. It was also pointed out that an increase in the bootstrap current under continuous NB heating can lead to ITB reconstruction and thus causes subsequent beta collapses.

We used sequence similarity clustering to explore proteins with a comprehensive dataset consisting of sequences from available databases together with 6.12 million proteins predicted from an assembly of 7.7 million Global Ocean Sampling (GOS) sequences. The GOS dataset covers nearly all known prokaryotic protein families. A total of 3,995 medium- and large-sized clusters consisting of only GOS sequences are identified, out of which 1,700 have no detectable homology to known families. The GOS-only clusters contain a higher than expected proportion of sequences of viral origin, thus reflecting a poor sampling of viral diversity until now. Protein domain distributions in the GOS dataset and current protein databases show distinct biases. Several protein domains that were previously categorized as kingdom specific are shown to have GOS examples in other kingdoms. About 6,000 sequences (ORFans) from the literature that heretofore lacked similarity to known proteins have matches in the GOS data. The GOS dataset is also used to improve remote homology detection. Overall, besides nearly doubling the number of current proteins, the predicted GOS proteins also add a great deal of diversity to known protein families and shed light on their evolution. These observations are illustrated using several protein families, including phosphatases, proteases, ultraviolet-irradiation DNA damage repair enzymes, glutamine synthetase, and RuBisCO. The diversity added by GOS data has implications for choosing targets for experimental structure characterization as part of structural genomics efforts. Our analysis indicates that new families are being discovered at a rate that is linear or almost linear with the addition of new sequences, implying that we are still far from discovering all protein families in nature.

Several mechanical models for the generation of these high forces by the motor complex predict coupling of DNA translocation to rotation of the head-tail connector dodecamer. Putative connector rotation is investigated here by combining the methods of single-molecule force spectroscopy with polarizationsensitive single-molecule fluorescence. In our experiment, we observe motor function in several packaging complexes in parallel using video microscopy of bead position in a magnetic trap. At the same time, we follow the orientation of single fluorophores attached to the portal motor connector. From our data, we can exclude connector rotation with greater than 99% probability and therefore answer a long-standing mechanistic question.

We present a dynamical model of the UV-induced SOS response, incorporating mutagenesis by the error-prone polymerase, Pol V. In our model, mutagenesis depends on a combination of two key processes: damage counting by the replication forks and a long-term memory associated with the accumulation of UmuD'. Together, these provide a tight regulation of mutagenesis, resulting, we show, in a "digital'' turn-on and turn-off of Pol V. Our model provides a compact view of the topology and design of the SOS network, pinpointing the specific functional role of each of the regulatory processes. In particular, we suggest that the recently observed second peak in the activity of promoters in the SOS regulon (Friedman et al., 2005, PLoS Biology 3(7): e238) is the result of positive feedback from Pol V to RecA filaments.

Sn-119 Mossbauer spectroscopy demonstrated that tin residues are composed of Sn(II) and Sn(IV) species. The 27-year-old foams showed only Sn(IV) species with a quadrupole-splitting parameter larger than that observed for SnO2. Solid-state Si-29 NMR differentiated between the various functional linkages in the foams, and showed no significant change of the di- to trifunctional linkage ratios. High-resolution NMR, on solvent extract of foams, showed the presence of water, catalyst, plasticizer, and some silicone oligomers. ATR-FTIR demonstrated changes near the surface of the foam when aged with water and with the presence of the tin catalyst. Gamma irradiation at a low dose had little effect on compression sets. The main changes observed for artificially aged and aged in service foams were related to the presence of the tin catalyst. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Here, using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, a detailed analysis is performed of the origins of diffuse scattering in crystalline Staphylococcal nuclease, for which the complete diffuse scattering pattern has been determined experimentally. The hydrogen-atom contribution and the scattering range over which the scattering can be considered to be a sum of solvent and protein scattering are determined. Two models of correlated protein motion are investigated by calculating the model-derived diffuse scattering and comparing with the scattering calculated directly from MD trajectories. In one model, previously used in diffuse scattering interpretation, the atomic displacement correlations decay isotropically with increasing separation. Model correlation lengths are obtained by refining the model scattering against the simulation-derived scattering pattern, and are found to be significantly different from those correlation lengths derived directly from the MD trajectories. Furthermore, the convergence between the model-derived and MD-derived scattering is poor. The second model, in which the displacement correlations are calculated from the principal components of the MD trajectories, is capable of fully reproducing the MD-derived diffuse scattering if the zt50% lowest-frequency modes are included. However, a small number ( 10) of lowest-frequency and largest-amplitude modes dominates the diffuse scattering and thus the correlated protein motions. A detailed analysis of the principal components is performed. In particular, the effective free energy profile associated with each principle mode is analyzed and the eigenfrequency and damping coefficient computed using a model of Brownian dynamics. Those collective modes with effective frequencies below; approximate to 0.5 THz, including those that determine the diffuse scattering, are overdamped.

Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) datin,g has been suggested as a technique that can be adapted for robotic in situ dating of martian sediments that have been transported and deposited by wind or water over the last 10(4)-10(5) years. This paper evaluates the potential of OSL for dating of martian surface geomorphologic features using a so-called "single-aliquot regenerative-dose" (SAR) technique for radiation dosimetry. The study evaluates the utility of the SAR technique for martian dating purposes using martian regolith simulants and martian meteorites. It is found that these materials have the requisite OSL properties for radiation dosimetry and can potentially be used for geological dating. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

It provides convenient in situ sample rotation to enable measurements of linear dichroism at high spatial resolution. The design, fabrication, and mechanical characterization are presented. This device has been used to generate quantitative maps of the spatial distribution of the orientation of proteins in several different spider and silkworm silks. Specifically, quantitative maps of the dichroic signal at the C 1s ->pi(*)(amide) transition in longitudinal sections of the silk fibers give information about the spatial orientation, degree of alignment, and spatial distribution of protein peptide bonds. A new approach for analyzing the dichroic signal to extract orientation distributions, in addition to magnitudes of aligned components, is presented and illustrated with results from Nephila clavipes dragline spider silk measured using the in situ rotation device.

In certain specialized applications, such as rotating-field NMR and mobile ex situ NMR, permanent magnet-based shimming systems can provide considerable advantages. We present a simple two-dimensional shimming method based on harmonic corrector rings which can provide arbitrary multipole order shimming corrections. Results demonstrate, for example, that quadrupolar order shimming improves the linewidth by up to an order of magnitude. An additional order of magnitude reduction is in principle achievable by utilizing this shimming method for z-gradient correction and higher order xy gradients.

APT delivers the highest spatial resolution (sub-0.3-nm) three-dimensional compositional information of any microscopy technique. Recently, APT has changed dramatically with new hardware configurations that greatly simplify the technique and improve the rate of data acquisition. In addition, new methods have been developed to fabricate suitable specimens from new classes of materials. Applications of APT have expanded from structural metals and alloys to thin multilayer films on planar substrates, dielectric films, semiconducting structures and devices, and ceramic materials.

TI Magnetic compound refractive lens for focusing and polarizing cold neutron beams SO REVIEW OF SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS LA English DT Article ID SEXTUPOLE MAGNET; SPIN-ECHO; X-RAYS; SCATTERING; OPTICS; INSTRUMENT AB Biconcave cylindrical lenses are used to focus beams of x rays or neutrons using the refractive properties of matter. In the case of neutrons, the refractive properties of magnetic induction can similarly focus and simultaneously polarize the neutron beam without the concomitant attenuation of matter. This concept of a magnetic refractive lens was tested using a compound lens consisting of 99 pairs of cylindrical permanent magnets. The assembly successfully focused the intensity of a white beam of cold neutrons of one spin state at the detector, while defocusing the other. This experiment confirmed that a lens of this nature may boost the intensity locally by almost an order of magnitude and create a polarized beam.

TI Streaked optical pyrometer system for laser-driven shock-wave experiments on OMEGA SO REVIEW OF SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS LA English DT Article ID COMPRESSION; DEUTERIUM AB The temperature of laser-driven shock waves is of interest to inertial confinement fusion and high-energy-density physics. We report on a streaked optical pyrometer that measures the self-emission of laser-driven shocks simultaneously with a velocity interferometer system for any reflector (VISAR). Together these diagnostics are used to obtain the temporally and spatially resolved temperatures of approximately megabar shocks driven by the OMEGA laser. We provide a brief description of the diagnostic and how it is used with VISAR. Key spectral calibration results are discussed and important characteristics of the recording system are presented.

TI Noncontact measurement of electrostatic fields: Verification of modeled potentials within ion mobility spectrometer drift tube designs SO REVIEW OF SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS LA English DT Article ID ELECTRIC-FIELDS; KELVIN METHOD AB The heart of an ion mobility spectrometer is the drift region where ion separation occurs. While the electrostatic potentials within a drift tube design can be modeled, no method for independently validating the electrostatic field has previously been reported. Two basic drift tube designs were modeled using SIMION 7.0 to reveal the expected electrostatic fields: (1) A traditional alternating set of electrodes and insulators and (2) a truly linear drift tube. One version of the alternating electrode/insulator drift tube and two versions of linear drift tubes were then fabricated. The stacked alternating electrodes/insulators were connected through a resistor network to generate the electrostatic gradient in the drift tube. The two linear drift tube designs consisted of two types of resistive drift tubes with one tube consisting of a resistive coating within an insulating tube and the other tube composed of resistive ferrites. The electrostatic fields within each type of drift tube were then evaluated by a noncontact method using a Kelvin-Zisman type electrostatic voltmeter and probe (results for alternative measurement methods provided in supplementary material). The experimental results were then compared with the electrostatic fields predicted by SIMION. Both the modeling and experimental measurements reveal that the electrostatic fields within a stacked ion mobility spectrometer drift tube are only pseudo-linear, while the electrostatic fields within a resistive drift tube approach perfect linearity.

TI Shock tube/time-of-flight mass spectrometer for high temperature kinetic studies SO REVIEW OF SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS LA English DT Article ID THERMAL-DECOMPOSITION; PROPARGYL RADICALS; CYCLOHEXENE; WAVES; DISSOCIATION; APPARATUS; METHANE; BEAM; TUBE AB A shock tube (ST) with online, time-of-flight mass spectrometric (TOF-MS) detection has been constructed for the study of elementary reactions at high temperature. The ST and TOF-MS are coupled by a differentially pumped molecular beam sampling interface, which ensures that the samples entering the TOF-MS are not contaminated by gases drawn from the cold end wall thermal boundary layer in the ST. Additionally, the interface allows a large range of postshock pressures to be used in the shock tube while maintaining high vacuum in the TOF-MS. The apparatus and the details of the sampling system are described along with an analysis in which cooling of the sampled gases and minimization of thermal boundary layer effects are discussed. The accuracy of kinetic measurements made with the apparatus has been tested by investigating the thermal unimolecular dissociation of cyclohexene to ethylene and 1,3-butadiene, a well characterized reaction for which considerable literature data that are in good agreement exist. The experiments were performed at nominal reflected shock wave pressures of 600 and 1300 Torr, and temperatures ranging from 1260 to 1430 K. The rate coefficients obtained are compared with the earlier shock tube studies and are found to be in very good agreement. As expected no significant difference is observed in the rate constant between pressures of 600 and 1300 Torr. (c) 2007 American Institute of Physics.

The combustor features nonambiguous boundary conditions, a geometrically simple design that retains the essential fluid dynamics and thermochemical processes that occur in actual gas turbine combustors, and unrestrictive access for laser and optical diagnostic measurements. After discussing the design detail, a preliminary investigation of the performance and operating envelope of the combustor is presented. With the combustor operating on premixed methane/air, both the equivalence ratio and the inlet velocity were systematically varied and the flame structure was recorded via digital photography. Interesting lean flame blowout and resonance characteristics were observed. In addition, the combustor exhibited a large region of stable, acoustically clean combustion that is suitable for preliminary validation of LES models. (c) 2007 American Institute of Physics.

TI Large-scale spatial variability of riverbed temperature gradients in Snake River fall Chinook salmon spawning areas SO RIVER RESEARCH AND APPLICATIONS LA English DT Article DE temperature; hyporheic; riverbed; salmon ID ATLANTIC SALMON; WATER-TEMPERATURE; HYPORHEIC ZONE; CHUM SALMON; STREAM TEMPERATURE; DISSOLVED-OXYGEN; TIME-SERIES; BED; EGG; REDDS AB In the Snake River basin of the Pacific northwestern United States, hydroelectric dam operations are often based on the predicted emergence timing of salmon fry from the riverbed. The spatial variability and complexity of surface water and riverbed temperature gradients results in emergence timing predictions that are likely to have large errors. The objectives of this study were to quantify the thermal heterogeneity between the river and riverbed in fall Chinook salmon spawning areas and to determine the effects of thermal heterogeneity on fall Chinook salmon emergence timing. This study quantified river and riverbed temperatures at 15 fall Chinook salmon spawning sites distributed in two reaches throughout 160 km of the Snake River in Hells Canyon, Idaho, USA, during 3 different water years. Temperatures were measured during the fall Chinook salmon incubation period with self-contained data loggers placed in the river and at three different depths below the riverbed surface. At all sites, temperature increased with depth into the riverbed, including significant differences (p < 0.05) in mean hourly water temperature of up to 3.8 degrees C between the river and the riverbed among all the sites. During each of the 3 water years studied, river and riverbed temperatures varied significantly among all the study sites, among the study sites within each reach and between sites located in the two reaches. Considerable variability in riverbed temperatures among the sites resulted in fall Chinook salmon emergence timing estimates that varied by as much as 36 days within a reach, depending on the source of temperature data used for the estimate. Monitoring of riverbed temperature gradients at a range of spatial scales throughout the Snake River would provide better information for managing hydroelectric dam operations, and would aid in the design and interpretation of future empirical research into the ecological significance of physical riverine processes.

TI Characterisation of electron beams at different focus settings and work distances in multiple welders using the enhanced modified Faraday cup SO SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY OF WELDING AND JOINING LA English DT Article DE electron beam welding; diagnostics; enhanced modified Faraday cup; work distance; focus setting; electron beam optics ID POWER-DENSITY DISTRIBUTION; MECHANICAL-PROPERTIES; OSCILLATION; WELDMENTS AB Using the enhanced modified Faraday cup (EMFC), the differences in the beams produced by two electron beam welders are characterised at different focus settings and work distances. For example, EMFC measurements show that sharply focused beams display different shapes and peak power densities which vary by nearly 20% for the same welding parameters on these two welders. Increases in work distance on each machine were shown to result in decreases in both the peak power density and the resulting weld size and shape. Because of the differences in machine performance, additional differences also arise when comparing the welds produced by each machine. These different weld dimensions are attributed to differences in the beam shape and a 70 mm difference in the theoretical beam crossover location in the upper column of the two welders. The crossover location, which can not be physically measured, is determined using the EMFC by analysing the beam distribution parameters of sharply focused beams over a range of work distances. By combining these results with simplified optics calculations, the magnification of the beam optics can be determined and the machine performance of each welder characterised. The work distance on each machine at which beams with similar peak power density values will be produced can then be determined. With this knowledge, changes in either the beam focus or work distance can be made to attain similar beams from different welders, thus providing a baseline for developing modern weld transfer procedures.

It examines the similarities and differences in news media frames used to focus the debate at the local level, and evaluates the frequency and range of dominant political and social actors as news sources. Newspaper coverage in some community newspapers frames the story in more complex and diverse ways and includes a wider range of voices than has been reported in studies of coverage in the national, elite press.

The objective of this study was to determine whether these treatments also affect PCB removal and microbial community structure in a high organic matter soil (Pahokee soil series with 67%,, organic matter) and low organic matter soil (Woolper soil series with 6% organic matter), as determined by monitoring changes in PCB levels and phospholipid fatty acids (PLFA) profiles in laboratory microcosms amended with these compounds. Biphenyl enhanced di-chlorinated and tri-chlorinated biphenyl removal in both soils, but PSM did not improve removal of these congeners. On the contrary, HP-beta-CD decreased PCB removal when used in combination with biphenyl. Two-way analysis of variance indicated that HP-P-CD significantly increased tetra- and penta-chlorinated biphenyl removal from the high organic matter soil, but not from the low organic matter soil. Principal components analysis of PLFA data indicated that HP-beta-CD increased proportions of 18:1((!))7c associated with Gram-negative bacteria, but decreased 10me16 and 10me17 lipid associated with Gram-positive bacteria, while biphenyl and PSMs had no detectable effects on soil microbial communities. PCB removal was not correlated to any PLFA. In conclusion PSM previously shown to enhance PCB removal in soil-free systems were not effective in two divergent soils evaluated in this study, and HP-beta-CB had increase, decrease, or no effect on PCB removal depending on types of PCB congeners. soils. and co-amendments.

Labeling with (NH4+)-N-15 along with measurement of its assimilation into microbial biomass at the bulk scale allowed estimation of gross rates of ammonification and N assimilation using isotope dilution. Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) analyses of transects of organic-N-15 across Si wafers in contact with the microcosms indicated strong gradients of (NH4+)-N-15 assimilation as a function of proximity to the hotspots that were not apparent using bulk analyses. This combination of bulk and ToF-SIMS analyses represents a powerful approach to explore the physical and biochemical factors that affect N process heterigeneities in soils. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.

To determine the rate at which this flux of C occurs, we have taken advantage of a local release of C-14 at Oak Ridge National Laboratory Reservation, Oak Ridge, TN (35 degrees 58'N, 84 degrees 16V). Eight replicate 7- by 7-m plots were established at four field sites on the reservation in an upland oak forest setting. Half of the plots were provided with C-14-enriched litter (Delta C-14 approximate to 1000 parts per thousand), and the other half with near-background litter (Delta C-14 approximate to 220 parts per thousand) for multiple years. Differences in the labeled leaf litter were used to quantify the movement of litter-derived DOC through the soil profile. Soil solutions were collected for several years with tension lysimeters at 15- and 70-cm depths and measured for DOC concentration and 14C abundance. The net amount of DOC retained between 15 and 70 cm was between 2 and 10 g m(-2) yr(-1). There were significant effects of the litter additions on the C-14 abundance in the DOC, but the net transport of C-14 from the added litter was small. The difference in Delta C-14 between the treatments with enriched and near-background litter was only about 130 parts per thousand at both depths, which is small compared with the difference in Delta C-14 in the added litter. The primary source of DOC within the mineral soil must therefore have been either the Oe or Oa horizon or the organic matter in the mineral soil.

Advances in technology for manipulating and analyzing nucleic acids have made it possible to characterize the members of microbial communities without the intervention of laboratory culturing. Results from such studies have shown that the vast majority of soil organisms have never been cultured, highlighting the risks of culture-based approaches in community analysis. The development of culture-independent techniques for following the flow of substrates through microbial communities therefore represents an important advance. These techniques, collectively known as stable isotope probing (SIP), involve introducing a stable isotope-labeled substrate into a microbial community and following the fate of the substrate by extracting diagnostic molecular species such as fatty acids and nucleic acids from the community and determining which specific molecules have incorporated the isotope. The molecules in which the isotope label appears provide identifying information about the organism that incorporated the substrate. Stable isotope probing allows direct observations of substrate assimilation in minimally disturbed communities, and thus represents an exciting new tool for linking microbial identity and function. The use of lipids or nucleic acids as the diagnostic molecule brings different strengths and weaknesses to the experimental approach, and necessitates the use of significantly different instrumentation and analytical techniques. This short review provides an overview of the lipid and nucleic acid approaches, discusses their strengths and weaknesses, gives examples of applications in various settings, and looks at prospects for the future of SIP technology.

TI Thermochemistry of the extraction of bismuth(III) with bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric and 2-ethyhexyl-phenylphosphonic acids SO SOLVENT EXTRACTION AND ION EXCHANGE LA English DT Article DE extraction; bismuth; thermodynamics parameters; calorimetry; temperature coefficient of extraction; stoichiometry ID LIQUID DISTRIBUTION REACTIONS; ESTERS; IONS; THERMODYNAMICS; LANTHANIDE; COMPLEXES; SYSTEMS; NI(II); CO(II); WATER AB The extraction of bismuth(III) from perchloric acid medium by bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric (HDEHP) and 2-ethylhexyl-phenylphosphonic (HEH[Ph]P) acids dissolved in o-xylene was studied in the temperature range 25-60 degrees C. The extractions were investigated as a function of the aqueous perchloric acid concentration and organic phase extractant concentration. The slopes of the average extractant dependencies and acid dependencies were 2.8 and -2.9, respectively, for both extraction systems, and the extraction stoichiometries did not change with temperature. Enthalpy, entropy and free energy changes of the extraction process were derived from the measured extraction coefficients across this temperature range. The enthalpy change for the extraction with HDEHP was also studied directly by calorimetric measurement at 25 degrees C. The extractability of bismuth by both extractants is enthalpy controlled. The enthalpy change for extraction from 1 M (Na/H) ClO4 calculated from calorimetric data at low metal loading, -10.7 +/- 1.0 kJ/mol, compares favorably to that obtained from the temperature dependence of the extraction coefficient, -11.2 +/- 1.6 kJ/ mol. Under our conditions, the extraction of Bi(III) by HDEHP is enthalpy driven with an unfavorable entropy, while the enthalpy and entropy make favorable contributions of similar magnitude to the extraction by HEH[Ph]P.

The standard Kalman filtering scheme requires computing and storing the covariance matrix of state variables, which is computationally expensive for large-scale problems with millions of gridblocks. In the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF), this problem is alleviated with sampling from a limited number of realizations and computing the required subset of the covariance matrix at each update. However, the goodness of the (ensemble) covariance approximated from the limited ensemble depends on the number of realizations used and the representativity of a given ensemble. In this study, we propose an efficient, dimension-reduced Kalman filtering scheme based on Karhunen-Loeve (KL) and other orthogonal polynomial decompositions of the state variables. We consider flow in heterogeneous reservoirs with spatially variable permeability. The reservoir responses such as pressure are measured at some locations at various time intervals. The aim is to dynamically characterize the reservoir properties and to predict the reservoir performance and its uncertainty at future times. In our scheme, the covariance of the reservoir properties is approximated by a small set of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions using the KL decomposition and the reconstruction of the covariance from the KL decomposition can be done whenever needed. In each update, the forecast step is solved using the KL-based moment method, giving a set of functions from which the mean and covariance of the state variables can be constructed, when needed. The statistics of both the reservoir properties and the reservoir responses are then updated with the available measurements at this time using the auto- and cross-covariances obtained from the forecast step. The new approach is illustrated on a heterogeneous reservoir with dynamic measurements and the results are compared with those from the EnKF method, in terms of accuracy and efficiency.

However, modeling becomes necessary when more information is needed for more complex functions of the SHM system, such as estimation of remaining life. In addition, suitable models would aid in more accurately identifying and locating damage and in designing the SHM system. Since impedance-based SHM relies on high frequency excitation of the structure using piezoelectric patches, finite element modeling may not be computationally efficient. In this study, the spectral element method (SEM) is used in combination with electric circuit analysis for impedance modeling. SEM more accurately models higher frequency vibrations than finite element methods since the mass is modeled exactly and it incorporates higher order models more easily. Simulations of sensor multiplexing, high frequency response, and the inclusion of damage are presented. Experimental verification is also included.

Imatinib is less effective against c-Src, which is difficult to understand because residues interacting with imatinib in crystal structures of Abl and c-Kit are conserved in c-Src. The crystal structure of the c-Src kinase domain in complex with imatinib closely resembles that of Abl center dot imatinib and c-Kit center dot imatinib, and differs significantly from the inactive "Src/CDK" conformation of the Src family kinases. Attempts to increase the affinity of c-Src for imatinib by swapping residues with the corresponding residues in Abl have not been successful, suggesting that the thermodynamic penalty for adoption of the imatinib-binding conformation by c-Src is distributed over a broad region of the structure. Two mutations that are expected to destabilize the inactive Src/CDK conformation increase drug sensitivity 15-fold, suggesting that the free-energy balance between different inactive states is a key to imatinib binding.

For these investigations, the magnetic-field dependence of the electrical resistance R( H) was measured at various temperatures in pulsed magnetic fields up to 50 T. These curves show an unusual, very rapid increase of R even at low fields. We describe a method of extracting H-irr that is comparable to measurements in static magnetic fields. The irreversibility line shows the same, nearly linear behaviour at low temperatures as bulk YBa2Cu3O7-delta samples and a power-law dependence at higher temperatures.

Butadiene adsorbs weakly as an s-trans conformer with the first layer oriented parallel to the silver surface and desorbs without decomposition. A very narrow line shape of the out-of-plane modes at low submonolayer coverage indicates molecular ordering within the diluted adsorbed layer, presumably through weak pi-bonding interaction with the surface and intermolecular repulsive interaction. Compression within the first layer at coverages above 0.5 ML is driven by repulsive interaction as seen in both TPD and IRAS data. The IR intensity rollover and peak broadening, together with a significant shift in the TPD peak to lower temperature, indicate a reorientation of the butadiene molecule. Adsorption in the second- and multilayer is characterized by distinct IR frequency shifts and crystal field splitting effects similar to those reported for solid butadiene. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V.

This isolate, designated GE-7, was cultivated from pH 8.0, 50 degrees C water from a dripping fracture near the top of an exploration tunnel. GE-7 grows optimally at 65 degrees C and pH 6.5 on a wide range of carbon substrates including cellobiose, hydrocarbons and lactate. In addition to O-2, GE-7 also utilizes nitrate as an electron acceptor. GE-7 is a long rod-shaped bacterium (4-6 mu m long x 0.5 mu m wide) with terminal endospores and flagella. Phylogenetic analysis of GE-7 16S rDNA sequence revealed high sequence similarity with G. thermoleovorans DSM 5366(T) (99.6%), however, certain phenotypic characteristics of GE-7 were distinct from this and other previously described strains of G. thermoleovorans.

In the current study, rats were given single oral gavage doses (1, 10, or 50 mg/kg) of the insecticide chlorpyrifos (CPF). Saliva,and blood were then collected from groups of animals (4/time-point) at 3, 6, and 12 It post-dosing, and were analyzed for the CPF metabolite trichloropyridinol (TCP). Trichloropyridinol was detected in both blood and saliva at all doses and the TCP concentration in blood exceeded saliva, although the kinetics in blood and saliva were comparable. A physiologically based pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (PBPK/PD) model for CPF incorporated a compartment model to describe the time-course of TCP in blood and saliva. The model adequately simulated the experimental results over the dose ranges evaluated. A rapid and sensitive sequential injection (SI) electrochemical immunoassay was developed to monitor TCP, and the reported detection limit for TCP was 6 ng/L (in water). Computer model simulation in the range of the Allowable Daily Intake (ADI) or Reference Dose (RfD) for CPF (0.01-0.003 mg/kg/day) suggests that the electrochemical immunoassay has adequate sensitivity to detect and quantify TCP in saliva at these low exposure levels. However, to validate this approach, further studies are needed to more fully understand the pharmacokinetics of CPF and TCP excretion in saliva. These initial findings suggest that the utilization of saliva as a biomonitoring matrix, coupled to real-time quantitation and PBPK/PD modeling represents a novel approach with broad application for evaluating both occupational and environmental exposures to CPF.

We examined cobalt uptake characteristics from cobalt-enriched potting soil by Nyssa aquatica (water tupelo), N. sylvatica var. biflora (swamp tupelo), and Taxodium distichum (baldcypress), codominant canopy species of wetland forests of the southeastern United States. Seedlings were grown in 10 1 pots for two growing seasons. Cobalt additions (up to 100 mg/pot) did not affect biomass production of leaves, stems, or roots of the three species. Height was significantly different among treatments within a species, but no treatment was different from the control. treatment with no added cobalt. Leaf cobalt concentrations were greater in N. sylvatica var. biflora than N. aquatica during the first year, but similar during the second year. Cobalt concentrations declined from the first to second years for T distichum leaves. In the 100 mg/pot treatment, leaf cobalt concentrations of both Nyssa species during the second year were 150 times greater than that of T distichum. Elevated cobalt uptake by Nyssa species is apparently a function of special mechanisms of the genera and not a habitat characteristic. C1 Univ Georgia, Savannah River Ecol Lab, Aiken, SC 29802 USA.

TI Extraction of equivalent beam properties from blade models SO WIND ENERGY LA English DT Article DE wind turbines; blades; beam properties; stiffness matrix; 3D effects; finite element model AB A method is presented for extracting the equivalent beam properties from a finite element model of a wind turbine blade so that full aeroelastic models can be constructed more reliably. The method is based on applying unit loads at the tip of the blade and processing the resulting nodal displacements to generate the 6 x 6 stiffness matrices for the specified beam discretization. The finite element model can comprise shell and/or solid elements, but the use of shell elements with centroids offset from the surface has been shown to produce erroneous torsional, stiffness values. The method includes all three-dimensional effects such as shear and warping as well as flap-twist coupling, and these are demonstrated in a series of validation examples. The process will accommodate blades with curvature in one or both directions and has the added advantage of identifying the centre of mass, elastic centre, principal directions and shear centre.

To address this, the present study concurrently analysed experimental measurements and computational predictions, both of which were unique and of high quality. Experimental measurements consisted of surface pressure data statistics used to infer sectional boundary layer state and to quantify normal force levels. Computed predictions included high-resolution boundary layer topologies and detailed above-surface flow field structures. This synergy was exploited to reliably identify and track pertinent features in the rotating blade boundary layer topology as they evolved in response to varying wind speed. Subsequently, boundary layer state was linked to above-surface flow field structure and used to deduce mechanisms; underlying augmented aerodynamic force production during rotating conditions.

TI Selective x-ray Bragg spectrometry: optimizing fluorescence microprobe sensitivity for precious metals SO X-RAY SPECTROMETRY LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT European X-Ray Spectrometry Conference (EXRS 2006) CY JUN 19-23, 2006 CL Paris, FRANCE ID NUCLEAR MICROPROBE; FLUID INCLUSIONS; GOLD; DEPOSITS; PIXE; ARSENOPYRITE; CRYSTALS; HOPG AB This instrument development project was aimed at developing an x-ray spectrometer configuration for the x-ray fluorescence microprobe optimized for the detection of precious metals in geological and biological samples with the objective of improving detection limits and reducing interference from major elements and the scattered beam. The approach used Bragg diffraction from a surface shaped to a log-spiral to focus x-rays of a particular energy onto a solid-state detector. The result is an enhancement of the precious metal lines within the relatively narrow bandpass of the Bragg crystal surface and suppression of interfering elements and detector artefacts, such as tailing and escape peaks arising from intense elemental lines and scattered photons. This combined enhancement resulted in a factor of 3 improvement in the count rates at the optimized energy. Combined with the reduction in background, this results in an order of magnitude improvement of the Au detection limits for samples of geological significance.

For example, a lithographic pattern can shrink or spread near a BARC interface, a process called undercutting or footing respectively, due to incompatibility between the two materials. Experiments were conducted on two industrial BARC coatings in an effort to determine the impact of BARC surface chemistry on the footing and undercutting phenomena. The BARC coatings were characterized by near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS), contact angle measurements, and neutron and X-ray reflectivity. Contact angle measurement using a variety of fluids showed that the fluid contact angles were independent of the type of BARC coating or the BARC processing temperature. NEXAFS measurements showed that the surface chemistry of each BARC was also independent of the processing temperature. These results suggest that acid-base interactions at the BARC-resist interface are not the cause of the footing-undercutting phenomena encountered in lithographic patterns.

It is shown that, without the H, the O-bridge site has lower energy than the O-on-top site for both half and fully monolayer (ML) oxygen coverage. For hydrogenated diamond (001) surfaces, we found for half ML O coverage, a more stable (2 x 2):0.5H&0.5(OH) phase than the previously reported (2 x 1):0.5H&0.5(OH) phase [H. Tamura, H. Zhou, K.

Furthermore, at one ML O coverage, a (2 x 2):(OH) phase is the most stable structure than the previously reported (2 x 1):(OH) phase. With the increase of the (OH) coverage, the importance of the hydrogen bonds increases in terms of stabilizing these structures. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Storing sufficient hydrogen on-board a wide range of vehicle platforms, while meeting all consumer requirements (driving range, cost, safety, performance, etc.), without compromising passenger or cargo space, is a tremendous technical challenge. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), in collaboration with automotive industry partners, established specific technical targets for on-board hydrogen storage systems to focus R&D and to stimulate research on hydrogen storage. In order to achieve these long-term targets, DOE launched a "Grand Challenge" to the scientific community in 2003. Based on a competitively selected portfolio, DOE established a "National Hydrogen Storage Project" in the U.S. for R&D in the areas of advanced metal hydrides, chemical hydrogen storage, carbon-based and high surface area sorbent materials, as well as new materials and concepts. The current status of vehicular hydrogen storage is reviewed and research associated with the National Hydrogen Storage Project is discussed.

TI Combining [He-3] cosmogenic dating with U-Th/He eruption ages using olivine in basalt SO EARTH AND PLANETARY SCIENCE LETTERS LA English DT Article DE U-Th/He; cosmogenic helium; Snake River Basalts; Idaho; olivine ID IONIZATION MASS-SPECTROMETRY; SNAKE-RIVER-PLAIN; PRODUCTION-RATES; VOLCANIC-ROCKS; LAVA FLOWS; DIFFUSION; HELIUM; AR-40/AR-39; SURFACES; IDAHO AB This paper presents new U-Th/He crystallization and He-3 exposure ages on olivine for a suite of basalt samples from the Snake River Plain, Idaho. The results provide the first demonstration that U-Th/He geochronology can be successfully applied to Late Quaternary basalts using measurements of olivine phenocrysts as opposed to U-rich minerals. The approach employs abrasion to remove the outer rinds of olivine crystals to avoid problems with He-4 implantation from the groundmass, and a specially designed extraction system that allows U, Th and He concentrations and isotopic compositions to be measured on the same olivine grains. We demonstrate the viability of the U-Th/He technique on basalts with ages of 373 ka and 3400 ka previously dated by Ar-Ar, and show that concurrent measurements of U-Th-He-4 ages and He-3 cosmogenic exposure ages improve the accuracy of both methods. The combined U-Th-(HeHe)-He-4-He-3 technique is applied to a series of boulders and flows from Box Canyon near Hagerman, Idaho, to evaluate the ages of the basalts and to use exposure ages to make inferences about the age and mode of formation of the canyon. The U-Th/He ages of the Box Canyon basalts are between 86 +/- 12 ka and 130 +/- 12 ka (1-sigma errors) and suggest at least two periods of eruption. The ages are similar to a ca. 95 ka Ar-Ar age previously assigned, and distinguish the Box Canyon basalts from nearby ca. 395 ka basalt. Exposure ages of boulders within the canyon at the mouth, head and middle of Box Canyon are 21 +/- 1, 19 +/- 3 and 48 +/- 3 ka; scoured bedrock at the canyon head has an exposure age of 45 +/- 5 ka. These data indicate that the canyon was carved before the Bonneville Flood. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. C1 EO Lawrence Berkeley Natl Lab, Div Earth Sci, Berkeley, CA 94720 USA.

This theoretical procedure is the fourth in the Gaussian-n series of quantum chemical methods based on a sequence of single point energy calculations. The G4 theory modifies the Gaussian-3 (G3) theory in five ways. First, an extrapolation procedure is used to obtain the Hartree-Fock limit for inclusion in the total energy calculation. Second, the d-polarization sets are increased to 3d on the first-row atoms and to 4d on the second-row atoms, with reoptimization of the exponents for the latter. Third, the QCISD(T) method is replaced by the CCSD(T) method for the highest level of correlation treatment. Fourth, optimized geometries and zero-point energies are obtained with the B3LYP density functional. Fifth, two new higher level corrections are added to account for deficiencies in the energy calculations. The new method is assessed on the 454 experimental energies in the G3/05 test set [L. A. Curtiss, P. C. Redfern, and K. Raghavachari, J. Chem. Phys. 123, 124107 (2005)], and the average absolute deviation from experiment shows significant improvement from 1.13 kcal/mol (G3 theory) to 0.83 kcal/mol (G4 theory). The largest improvement is found for 79 nonhydrogen systems (2.10 kcal/mol for G3 versus 1.13 kcal/mol for G4). The contributions of the new features to this improvement are analyzed and the performance on different types of energies is discussed. (c) 2007 American Institute of Physics.

Resat, Haluk TI Multinomial tau-leaping method for stochastic kinetic simulations SO JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID CHEMICALLY REACTING SYSTEMS; GROWTH-FACTOR RECEPTOR; GILLESPIE ALGORITHM; SIGNAL-TRANSDUCTION; TIME-EVOLUTION; NETWORKS AB We introduce the multinomial tau-leaping (M tau L) method for general reaction networks with multichannel reactant dependencies. The M tau L method is an extension of the binomial tau-leaping method where efficiency is improved in several ways. First, tau-leaping steps are determined simply and efficiently using a priori information and Poisson distribution-based estimates of expectation values for reaction numbers over a tentative tau-leaping step. Second, networks are partitioned into closed groups of reactions and corresponding reactants in which no group reactant set is found in any other group. Third, product formation is factored into upper-bound estimation of the number of times a particular reaction occurs. Together, these features allow larger time steps where the numbers of reactions occurring simultaneously in a multichannel manner are estimated accurately using a multinomial distribution. Furthermore, we develop a simple procedure that places a specific upper bound on the total reaction number to ensure non-negativity of species populations over a single multiple-reaction step. Using two disparate test case problems involving cellular processes-epidermal growth factor receptor signaling and a lactose operon model-we show that the tau-leaping based methods such as the M tau L algorithm can significantly reduce the number of simulation steps thus increasing the numerical efficiency over the exact stochastic simulation algorithm by orders of magnitude.

Energy and intensity distributions of the scattered fragment ions were measured as a function of the fragment ion mass and scattering angle. Inelastically scattered CF3+ ions were not observed even at the lowest energy studied here. All fragment ions, CF2+, CF+, F+, and C+, were observed at all energies studied with the relative intensity of the highest energy pathway, C+, increasing and that of the lowest energy pathway, CF2+, decreasing with collision energy. Also, the dissociation efficiency of CF3+ decreased significantly as the collision energy was increased to 159 eV. Energy distributions of all fragment ions from the alkyl thiol surface showed two distinct components, one corresponding to the loss of nearly all of the kinetic energy and scattered over a broad angular range while the other corresponding to smaller kinetic energy losses and scattered closer to the surface parallel. The latter process is due to delayed dissociation of collisionally excited ions after they have passed the collision region as excited parent ions. A similar study performed at 74 eV using a LiF coated surface on a titanium substrate resulted only in one process for all fragment ions; corresponding to the delayed dissociation process. The intensity maxima for these fragmentation processes were shifted farther away from the surface parallel compared to the thiol surface. A new mechanism is proposed for the delayed dissociation process as proceeding via projectile ions' neutralization to long-lived highly excited Rydberg state(s), reionization by the potential field between the collision region and entrance to the energy analyzer, and subsequent dissociation several microseconds after collisional excitation. A kinematic analysis of experimental data plotted as velocity Newton diagrams demonstrates that the delayed dissociation process results from the collisions of the ion with the bulk surface; i.e., the self-assembled monolayer surface acts as a bulk surface. A similar analysis for the highly inelastic collision processes shows that these are due to stronger collisions with a fraction of the thiol molecular chain, varying in length (mass) with the ion energy.(c) 2007 American Institute of Physics.

Here we study water structure in negatively charged model cylindrical [carbon nanotube (CNT)-like] nanopores, as well as the partitioning of positive ions of increasing size (Na+, K+, and Cs+) into the pore interior using extensive molecular dynamics simulations. Despite the simplicity of the simulation system-containing a short CNT-like nanopore in water carrying a uniformly distributed charge of q(pore)=-ne surrounded by n (=0,...,8) cations, making the overall system charge neutral-the results provide new and useful insights on both the pore hydration and ion partitioning. For n=0, that is, for a neutral nanopore, water molecules partition into the pore and form single-file hydrogen-bonded wire spanning the pore length. With increasing n, water molecules enter the pore from both ends with preferred orientations, resulting in a mutual repulsion between oriented water molecules at the pore center and creating a cavity-like low density region at the center. For low negative charge densities on the pore, the driving force for partitioning of positive ions into the pore is weak, and no partitioning is observed. Increasing the pore charge gradually leads to partitioning of positive ions into the pore. Interestingly, over a range of intermediate negative charge densities, nanopores display both thermodynamic as well as kinetic selectivity toward partitioning of the larger K+ and Cs+ ions into their interior over the smaller Na+ ions. Specifically, the driving force is in the order K+> Cs+> Na+, and K+ and Cs+ ions enter the pore much more rapidly than Na+ ions. At higher charge densities, the driving force for partitioning increases for all cations-it is highest for K+ ions-and becomes similar for Na+ and Cs+ ions. The variation of thermodynamic driving force and the average partitioning time with the pore charge density together suggest the presence of free energy barriers in the partitioning process. We discuss the role of ion hydration in the bulk and in the pore interior as well as of the pore hydration in determining the barrier heights for ion partitioning and the observed thermodynamic and kinetic selectivities.(c) 2007 American Institute of Physics.

The multilayer samples consisted of alternating Langmuir-Blodgett (LB)films of two different copolymers of vinylidene fluoride with trifluoroethylene, one with 80% vinylidene fluoride and a ferroelectric-paraelectric transition temperature on heating of 133 +/- 4 degrees C and the other with 50% vinylidene fluoride and a transition temperature of 70 +/- 4 degrees C. Samples with a repeat period of 20 LB layers (10 contiguous layers of each composition) exhibited two distinct phase transitions, indicative of minimal interaction between the two materials. Films with a repeat period of 2, or films made from an equal mixture of the two copolymers, exhibited composite behaviour, with an intermediate transition temperature and suppression of the transitions associated with the individual compositions. Films with a repeat period of 10 exhibit cross-over behaviour. These results imply that the ferroelectric interaction length along the (110) direction, which is perpendicular to the film plane, is approximately 11 nm.

Whereas at long time (t) the average size of the domains develops as a power law alpha t(1/ 2), at short times a distinct incubation period is observed experimentally. We show that a first-principles description of a configurational Hamiltonian via the 'mixed-space cluster expansion' that includes both 'chemical' and 'strain' effects produces such an incubation period in Monte Carlo simulations, whereas the classical short-ranged ('chemical' only) Ising description does not. We find that the origin of this delay time is the elastic energy, ensuing from the Cu-Au atomic size mismatch. C1 Texas Tech Univ, Dept Phys, Lubbock, TX 79409 USA.

Compact ring isomers of magnetic particles are contained, together with molecules of an active medication, inside inert microcapsules. The filled microcapsules may be transported within the body using a weak, inhomogeneous magnetic field. Medication release is triggered by puncturing the container during a structural transition within the magnetic subsystem, induced by an externally applied strong magnetic field. Our simulations describe not only the time evolution of the magnetic subsystem during a successful medication release, but also address ways to suppress an accidental release induced by thermal and magnetic fluctuations.

Robert TI Interplay of structure and vibrational dynamics in six-coordinate heme nitrosyls SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID MOLECULAR STEREOCHEMISTRY; NITROSYLMETALLOPORPHYRINS AB The isolation of two polymorphic forms of nitrosyl(1-methylimidazole)(tetra-p-fluorophenylporphinato)iron(II) provides a unique opportunity to explore the interplay of structure and vibrational dynamics in six-coordinate {FeNO}(7) nitrosyliron porphyrinates. The two species display differing vibrational spectroscopic properties both in nu(NO) (IR) and the iron vibrational modes obtained through the use of nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopy. Structural characterization of the two complexes has yielded extremely high-quality structures that further confirm that coordination of NO leads to ligand tilting and asymmetry in the equatorial Fe-N-p bond distances. The two polymorphic structures (monoclinic and triclinic crystal systems) differ in the relative orientations of the two axial ligands and small but significant differences in coordination group bond distances. Although DFT calculations suggest that the NO/imidazole orientations should be indistinguishable, real experimental (structural and vibrational) differences between the two are found. The observed variation in the axial and equatorial Fe-N bonds is strongly correlated to the dynamics of the Fe-NO unit and other motions of iron. Other structural differences appear to have little effect on the vibrational properties of the two forms. The in-plane motions of iron in CO versus NO heme complexes illustrate distinct dynamic differences. C1 Univ Notre Dame, Dept Chem & Biochem, Notre Dame, IN 46556 USA.

We show that previous calculations have either underestimated or omitted altogether a major fractionating vibrational mode. The new results indicate that the B-11 partitions into B(OH)(4)(-) in water, in contrast to recent experimental measurement of the fractionation factor. The discrepancy appears to result from using finite-temperature vibrational frequencies in the standard harmonic expression for the fractionation factor. While our results connect the measured spectrum to previous harmonic electronic structure calculations, they indicate that harmonic frequencies must be extracted from experimental vibrational spectra before they can be used in the standard expressions.

TI Sulfur K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy as a probe of ligand-metal bond covalency: Metal vs ligand oxidation in copper and nickel dithiolene complexes SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID ELECTRON-PARAMAGNETIC RESONANCE; MODEL COMPLEXES; WAVE-FUNCTIONS; FINE-STRUCTURE; BASIS-SET; CU-III; MALEONITRILEDITHIOLATE; APPROXIMATION; PLASTOCYANIN; EXCHANGE AB A combination of Cu L-edge and S K-edge X-ray absorption data and density functional theory (DFT) calculations has been correlated with S-33 electron paramagnetic resonance superhyperfine results to obtain the dipole integral (I-s) for the S 1s -> 3p transition for the dithiolene ligand maleonitriledithiolate (MNT) in (TBA)(2)[Cu(MNT)(2)] (TBA) tetra-n-butylammonium). The results have been combined with the I-s of sulfide derived from XPS studies to experimentally obtain a relation between the S 1s -> 4p transition energy (which reflects the charge on the S atom, Q mol S) and the dipole integral over a large range of Q mol S. The results show that, for high charges on S, I-s can vary from the previously reported I-s values, calculated using data over a limited range of Q mol S. A combination of S K-edge and Cu K-and L-edge X-ray absorption data and DFT calculations has been used to investigate the one-electron oxidation of [Cu(MNT)2](2)-and [Ni(MNT)(2)](2-). The conversion of [Cu(MNT)(2)](2)-to [Cu(MNT)(2)]-results in a large change in the charge on the Cu atom in the molecule (Q mol Cu) and is consistent with a metal-based oxidation. This is accompanied by extensive charge donation from the ligands to compensate the high charge on the Cu in [Cu(MNT) 2]based on the increased S K-edge and decreased Cu L-edge intensity, respectively. In contrast, the oxidation of [Ni(MNT) 2] 2-to [Ni(MNT) 2]-results in a small change in Q mol Ni, indicating a ligand-based oxidation consistent with oxidation of a molecular orbital, psi*(SOMO) (singly occupied molecular orbital), with predominant ligand character.

The motivation is microscale thermal actuation produced by heating-induced expansion of a near-substrate microbeam in air. The first geometry involves a 1-mu m microgap, filled with argon or nitrogen and bounded by parallel solid slabs. The second geometry involves a heated I-shaped microbeam 2 mu m from the adjacent ambient substrate, with nitrogen in between. Two computational methods are applied to the above. The Navier-Stokes slip-jump (NSSJ) method uses continuum heat transfer in the bulk gas and temperature jumps at the boundaries to treat noncontinuum effects. The Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method uses computational molecules to simulate noncontinuum gas behavior more rigorously. For the microgap, the heat-flux values from both methods are in good agreement for all pressures and accommodation coefficients except for intermediate pressures and near-unity accommodation coefficients, where differences up to 8% are observed. For the microbeam, both methods are in good agreement except for low pressures and near-unity accommodation coefficients, where differences up to a factor of 2 are observed in the heat-flux values. The causes of these discrepancies are explained in terms of noncontinuum gas behavior in the vicinity of solid surfaces, and modifications to the NSSJ temperature-jump boundary condition that improve agreement are presented. DSMC simulations of the microbeam are presented that show the steady gas motion produced by noncontinuum stresses in gases with nonparallel isotherms. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The MEMS switch is modeled as a classical vibro-impact dynamic system: a single degree-of-freedom oscillator subject to impact with a single rigid barrier. An applied load, modeled as a stationary Gaussian stochastic process with prescribed power spectral density (PSD), excites the device and causes repetitive impacts with the barrier. A subset of the model parameters are described as correlated random variables to represent the significant unit-to-unit variability observed during testing of a collection of the switches. Experimental measurements from linear modal and nonlinear transient tests on multiple nominally-identical units are used to calibrate the probabilistic model. The calibrated model for the MEMS inertial switch is then used for probabilistic design studies, where the metric of performance is the amount of time the switch remains closed when subject to the applied stochastic load.

To do this, a model actuator was specifically designed so that actuator geometry, material properties and operation could be easily varied in order to parametrically study their effects on actuator efficiency. A numerical model was developed so that the detailed energy budget within the device could be elucidated. It was found that device efficiency was maximized when the energy input to actuator was equal to the energy required to dry out the evaporator. Membrane thermal mass and compliance, as well as the thickness of the evaporating liquid layer were also found to have a large impact on efficiency. In contrast, membrane thermal conductivity was found to have a minimal effect on efficiency for dynamic operation. Based on the parameter study, a liquid-vapor phase-change membrane actuator fabricated with a 10.3 mu m thick wicking structure and a 200 nm thick, 3 edge length silicon nitride actuation membrane was shown to demonstrate improved performance characteristics. The actuator generated peak pressures and deflections of 123 kPa and 167 mu m when actuated with a 14.3 mJ heating pulse for a thermal efficiency of 0.15%. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The RF MEMS switch discussed in this paper consists of a plate, suspended over an actuation pad by four double-cantilever springs. Closing the switch with a step actuation voltage typically causes the plate to rebound from the electrical contacts. This interrupts the signal continuity and degrades the performance, reliability and durability of the switch. This paper presents a procedure to design shaped waveforms to close the switch with low impact speed. The soft landing waveform is designed with a synergy of a three-dimensional finite element model (3-D FEM), a reduced-order model, and experimental refinement with a laser Doppler velocimeter. This integrated approach enables the switch to close with low impact speeds that do not result in significant mechanical rebound. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

TI Energetics of hydrogen storage in organolithium nanostructures SO CHEMICAL PHYSICS LETTERS LA English DT Article ID WALLED CARBON NANOTUBES; TRANSITION AB Ab initio calculations based on the second-order Moller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) were used to investigate the interaction of molecular hydrogen with alkyl lithium organometallic compounds. It is found that lithium in organolithium structures attracts hydrogen molecule with a binding energy of about 0.1 eV. The calculations also show that organolithium compounds bind strongly with graphitic nanostructures. Therefore, these carbon based nanostructures functionalized with organolithium compounds can be effectively used for storage of molecular hydrogen. Energetics and mechanisms for achieving high weight percent hydrogen storage in organolithium based nanostructures are discussed. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

There is a strong distinction (p = 0.01) in the binding-force signature observed for the invasive versus control populations. This observation suggests that a microorganism's "force taxonomy" may provide a fundamental and practical indicator of the pathogen-related risk that infections pose to patients with implanted medical devices.

First and second harmonic detection, with and without an auto-homodyning option, have been used to collect the near-field spectrum of a single vibrational mode of the bridging carbonyls in di-iron nonacarbonyl nanocrystalline flakes on a gold surface. The experimental results have been compared to two theoretical models, a static image-dipole effective medium and an image dipole modified by a Fresnel coefficient for the appropriate observation angle. The calculations have taken into account the roughness of the gold film. The phase dependence of the near-field contrast has been investigated using broadband and tunable CO2 lasers. Particle size effects on contrast and spatial resolution have been studied to determine the limits of applicability of the half-space approximation.

The megadalton-sized spliceosome is composed of four small nuclear RNPs and additional pre-mRNA splicing factors. The formation of an active spliceosome involves a series of regulated steps that requires the assembly and disassembly of large multiprotein/RNA complexes. The dynamic nature of the pre-mRNA splicing reaction has hampered progress in analyzing the structure of spliceosomal complexes. We have used cryo-electron microscopy to produce a 29-angstrom density map of a stable 37S spliceosomal complex from the genetically tractable fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Containing the U2, U5, and U6 snRNAs, pre-mRNA splicing intermediates, U2 and U5 snRNP proteins, the Nineteen Complex (NTC), and second-step splicing factors, this complex closely resembles in vitro purified mammalian C complex. The density map reveals an asymmetric particle, approximate to 30 X 20 X 18 nm in size, which is composed of distinct domains that contact each other at the center of the complex.

Taking advantage of particle size polydispersity, this single-particle tracking approach is extremely effective on flows with tracer particles exhibiting a great size distribution ranging from 1 mu m to hundreds of micrometers, which is impossible for visible-light-based techniques. Furthermore, a tomographic reconstruction was applied to yield the three-dimensional flow velocity field and its particle size dependence with unprecedented sensitivity.

The complete encapsulation of GaN wires in carbon shells can be achieved when small indium metal clusters are introduced on the wire surface. No encapsulation is observed on pure GaN wires under the same conditions.

TI Using the excitation-dependent radiative efficiency to assess asymmetry in the defect-related density of states SO APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS LA English DT Article ID HETEROSTRUCTURES; TRANSPORT AB Measurements of steady-state radiative efficiency versus photoexcitation rate probe the carrier-density-dependent competition between nonradiative and radiative mechanisms in semiconductors. Nonradiative recombination through defect levels is proportional to the product of defect level occupation and carrier density in the opposing band. Band-to-band radiative recombination scales with the product of band densities. The excitation rate required for defect level saturation establishes the effective density of participating defects. More subtle features in the changeover from defect-related to radiative-dominated recombination, and its temperature dependence, provide additional insight into the distribution of defect levels. In this letter, the authors consider the effect of asymmetry about the midgap. (c) 2007 American Institute of Physics. C1 Davidson Coll, Davidson, NC 28035 USA.

Electron-beam-induced current measurements showed a strong recombination activity at these defects. Cathodoluminescence measurements showed the presence of two deep-level radiative transitions (0.85 and 0.93 eV) with a relative intensity varying from grain to grain. These results indicate that the unexpected quasi-independence on the grain size of the open-circuit voltage of these pc-Si solar cells is due to the presence of numerous electrically active intragrain defects.

TI Evaluation of supersingular integrals: Second-order boundary derivatives SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR NUMERICAL METHODS IN ENGINEERING LA English DT Article DE boundary integral method; surface derivatives; supersingular integrals; boundary limit ID POTENTIAL GRADIENT; HYPERSINGULAR INTEGRALS; SURFACE DERIVATIVES; ELEMENT METHOD; GALERKIN; EQUATIONS; FORMULATION; PLATES; BEM AB The boundary integral representation of second-order derivatives of the primary function involves second-order (hypersingular) and third-order (supersingular) derivatives of the Green's function. By defining these highly singular integrals as a difference of boundary limits, interior minus exterior, the limiting values are shown to exist. With a Galerkin formulation, coincident and edge-adjacent supersingular integrals are separately divergent, but the sum is finite, while the individual hypersingular integrals are finite. Moreover, the cancellation of the supersingular divergent terms only requires a continuous interpolation of the surface potential, and there is no continuity requirement on the surface flux. The algorithm is efficient, the non-singular integrals vanish and the singular integrals are computed entirely analytically, and accurate values are obtained for smooth surfaces. However, it is shown that a (continuous) linear interpolation is not appropriate for evaluation at boundary corners. Published in 2006 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Furthermore these sputtering parameters are correlated to the degree of crystallinity, the phases present (cubic (a) versus monoclinic (p) Y2O3), and the stoichiometry of the thin films. Films deposited at room temperature (RT) did not CL, however, the films were activated by a post-deposition anneal at 1273 K for 6 h. Films deposited at 873 K had a very low CL efficiency which was significantly enhanced by a post-deposition anneal. For RT deposited films the external CL efficiency increased with increasing oxygen partial pressure for the range studied, however the opposite trend was observed for the 873 K deposited films. Examination of the morphology and grain size of the high temperature deposited films revealed that the average grain size increased with decreasing partial pressure and the observed increase in the external CL efficiency was attributed to enhanced anomalous diffraction. An intrinsic CL efficiency term was deten-nined to circumvent the effects of the enhanced anomalous diffraction, and the CL efficiency was correlated to the integrated intensity of the (222) of the cubic U-Y2O3 phase.

TI Length scale effects on the electronic transport properties of nanometric Cu/Nb multilayers SO THIN SOLID FILMS LA English DT Article DE metal multilayers; transmission electron microscopy; transport properties ID METALLIC-FILMS; ELECTRICAL-RESISTIVITY; THERMAL-STABILITY; THIN-FILMS; BEHAVIOR; CU AB In this paper, we investigated the contributions of the interface and grain boundary scattering to the resistivity of Cu/Nb multilayers with several bilayers thickness. We carried out temperature-dependent resistivity, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) measurements. We investigated possible structural changes inside the Cu layer by using XAFS measurements which indicated that the local structure around Cu sites remains face centered cubic even for the shortest bilayer period. Also, we obtained the grain size values by using TEM measurements so that we could evaluate the grain boundary contribution to the resistivity. The resistivity seems to be related to the thickness of the individual layers rather than the total film thickness. Our results agree well with theoretical calculations and we were able to obtain the relative importance of the grain boundary and the interface scattering. We found a clear correlation between fine structure length scales (grain size and layer thickness) and macroscopic properties (resistivity). Published by Elsevier B.V.

BST films of various thicknesses were produced by printing multiple stacks of the individual inkjet-printed layers. The dielectric constant of the printed films increased as a function of thickness. The largest dielectric constant, 1000, and the highest tunability, 30%, were measured on a 420 mn thick film, the thickest film studied in this work. Spray-printed silver contacts were employed and demonstrated good adhesion and good electrical contact to the inkjet-printed BST films. This also demonstrated proof of principle for direct-write printing of metal contacts onto BST films from metalorganic sources. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

TI Transport of plasma sheet material to the inner magnetosphere SO GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS LA English DT Article ID GEOSYNCHRONOUS ORBIT; ANALYZER; SUBSTORM; IMAGES; TIME AB The reaction of the plasma sheet in response to an increase in magnetospheric convection is examined using a combination of energetic neutral atom (ENA) imaging and in situ observations. Data from the IMAGE/MENA instrument are examined in conjunction with observations from the magnetospheric plasma analyzer (MPA) instrument onboard the Los Alamos 1994-084 satellite located in geosynchronous orbit. Examination of the MENA data during an enhanced convection event reveal that between 12: 00 and 14: 30 UT on 26 June 2001, ENA emissions from the plasma sheet material are observed to strengthen and move Earthwards. A simple calculation of the motion of the peak in ENA emissions following an increase in the convection gives an averaged speed of this sunward surge of around 8 km s(-1) between 12: 00 and 14: 30 UT.

TI Mass analysis by scanning transmission electron microscopy and electron diffraction validate predictions of stacked beta-solenoid model of HET-s prion fibrils SO JOURNAL OF BIOLOGICAL CHEMISTRY LA English DT Article ID FUNGUS PODOSPORA-ANSERINA; SACCHAROMYCES-CEREVISIAE; IN-VITRO; HETEROKARYON INCOMPATIBILITY; HYDROGEN/DEUTERIUM EXCHANGE; AMYLOID FIBRILS; CORE STRUCTURE; PROTEIN; DOMAIN; URE2P AB Fungal prions are infectious filamentous polymers of proteins that are soluble in uninfected cells. In its prion form, the HET-s protein of Podospora anserina participates in a fungal self/nonself recognition phenomenon called heterokaryon incompatibility. Like other prion proteins, HET-s has a so-called "prion domain" (its C-terminal region, HET-s-(218-289)) that is responsible for induction and propagation of the prion in vivo and for fibril formation in vitro. Prion fibrils are thought to have amyloid backbones of polymerized prion domains. A relatively detailed model has been proposed for prion domain fibrils of HET-s based on a variety of experimental constraints (Ritter, C., Maddelein, M. L., Siemer, A. B., Luhrs, T., Ernst, M., Meier, B. H., Saupe, S. J., and Riek, R. (2005) Nature 435, 844 - 848). To test specific predictions of this model, which envisages axial stacking of beta-solenoids with two coils per subunit, we examined fibrils by electron microscopy. Electron diffraction gave a prominent meridional reflection at (0.47 nm)(-1), indicative of cross-P structure, as predicted. STEM (scanning transmission electron microscopy) mass-per-unit-length measurements yielded 1.02 +/- 0.16 subunits per 0.94 nm, in agreement with the model prediction (I subunit per 0.94 nm). This is half the packing density of similar to I subunit per 0.47 nm previously obtained for fibrils of the yeast prion proteins, Ure2p and Sup35p, whence it follows that the respective amyloid architectures are basically different.

TI Methyltransferase that modifies guanine 966 of the 16 S rRNA - Functional identification and tertiary structure SO JOURNAL OF BIOLOGICAL CHEMISTRY LA English DT Article ID ESCHERICHIA-COLI; PROTEIN-STRUCTURE; M(5)C967 METHYLTRANSFERASE; ANGSTROM RESOLUTION; SECONDARY-STRUCTURE; 16S-RIBOSOMAL RNA; MODEL; PURIFICATION; DIFFRACTION; SUBUNIT AB N-2-Methylguanine 966 is located in the loop of Escherichia coli 16 S rRNA helix 31, forming a part of the P-site tRNA-binding pocket. We found yhhF to be a gene encoding for m(2)G966 specific 16 S rRNA methyltransferase. Disruption of the yhhF gene by kanamycin resistance marker leads to a loss of modification at G966. The modification could be rescued by expression of recombinant protein from the plasmid carrying the yhhF gene. Moreover, purified m(2)G966 methyltransferase, in the presence of S-adenosylomethionine (AdoMet), is able to methylate 30 S ribosomal subunits that were purified from yhhF knock-out strain in vitro. The methylation is specific for G966 base of the 16 S rRNA. The m(2)G966 methyltransferase was crystallized, and its structure has been determined and refined to 2.05 angstrom. The structure closely resembles RsmC rRNA methyltransferase, specific for m(2)G1207 of the 16 S rRNA. Structural comparisons and analysis of the enzyme active site suggest modes for binding AdoMet and rRNA to m(2)G966 methyltransferase. Based on the experimental data and current nomenclature the protein expressed from the yhhF gene was renamed to RsmD. A model for interaction of RsmD with ribosome has been proposed.

The adsorption isotherm model accounting best for these data is the bi-Moreau model, showing that two types of adsorption sites coexist on the surface and that strong adsorbate-adsorbate interactions take place. Large concentration band profiles of tryptophan were obtained for the three mobile phase compositions, at five different temperatures and the best values of the adsorption isotherm coefficients were determined by the inverse method (IM) of chromatography. The advantages and drawbacks of using the FA and the IM for determining the coefficients of the adsorption isotherm of tryptophan under the experimental conditions selected are discussed. The results of the FA and IM measurements are in good agreement. Both indicate that the retention time of tryptophan decreases rapidly with increasing acetonitrile concentration in the mobile phase as well as the saturation capacities of the two types of adsorption sites, with the highest values of the two saturation capacities being found for the lowest ACN content and the lowest temperature. The adsorption constant on the low-energy sites decreases with increasing acetonitrile content and temperature. In contrast, the adsorption constant on the high-energy sites increases with increasing ACN content of the mobile phase but decreases with increasing temperature. The solute-solute interaction parameters for the low and the high-energy adsorption sites increase rapidly with increasing ACN concentration in the mobile phase and with increasing temperature.

TI Role of the anterior cingulate and medial orbitofrontal cortex in processing drug cues in cocaine addiction SO NEUROSCIENCE LA English DT Article DE emotional Stroop interference; inhibitory control; cognitive conflict; attention bias; drug addiction; fMRI BOLD ID ATTENTIONAL BIAS; STROOP PARADIGM; NEURAL SYSTEMS; ACTIVATION; DYSFUNCTION; ALCOHOL; USERS; STIMULI; ABUSERS; TASK AB Our goal in the current report was to design a new functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) task to probe the role of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) in processing of salient symptom-related cues during the simultaneous performance of an unrelated task in drug-addicted persons. We used a novel fMRI color-word drug Stroop task in 14 individuals with cocaine use disorders; subjects had to press for color of drug vs. matched neutral words. Although there were no accuracy or speed differences between the drug and neutral conditions in the current sample of subjects, drug words were more negatively valenced than the matched neutral words. Further, consistent with prior reports in individuals with other psychopathologies using different Stroop fMRI paradigms, our more classical color-word Stroop design revealed bilateral activations in the caudal-dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (cdACC) and hypoactivations in the rostro-ventral anterior cingulate cortex/medial orbitofrontal cortex (rACC/mOFC). A trend for larger rACC/mOFC hypoactivations to the drug than neutral words did not survive whole-brain corrections. Nevertheless, correlation analyses indicated that (1) the more the cdACC drug-related activation, the more negative the valence attributed to the drug words (r=-0.86, P < 0.0001) but not neutral words; and (2) the more the rACC/mOFC hypoactivation to drug minus neutral words, the more the errors committed specifically to the drug minus neutral words (r=0.85, P < 0.0001). Taken together, results suggest that this newly developed drug Stroop fMRI task may be a sensitive biobehavioral assay of the functions recruited for the regulation of responses to salient symptom-related stimuli in drug-addicted individuals.

CA BaBar Collaboration TI Observation of decays B-0 -> D-s((*)+)pi(-) and B-0 -> Ds(*)-K+ SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article AB We report the observation of decays B-0 -> D-s((*)+)pi(-) and B-0 -> Ds(*)-K+ in a sample of 230x10(6) Upsilon(4S)-> BB events recorded with the BABAR detector at the SLAC PEP-II asymmetric-energy e(+)e(-) storage ring. We measure the branching fractions B(B-0 -> D-s(+)pi(-))=(1.3 +/- 0.3(stat)+/- 0.2(syst))x10(-5), B(B-0 -> Ds-K+)=(2.5 +/- 0.4(stat)+/- 0.4(syst))x10(-5), B(B-0 -> D-s(*+)pi(-))=(2.8 +/- 0.6(stat)+/- 0.5(syst))x10(-5), and B(B-0 -> Ds*-K+)=(2.0 +/- 0.5(stat)+/- 0.4(syst))x10(-5). The significances of the measurements to differ from zero are 5, 9, 6, and 5 standard deviations, respectively. This is the first observation of B-0 -> D-s(+)pi(-), B-0 -> D-s(*+)pi(-), and B-0 -> Ds*-K+ decays. C1 Lab Annecy Le Vieux Phys Particules, F-74941 Annecy Le Vieux, France.

TI Gamow-Teller strength in the exotic odd-odd nuclei La-138 and Ta-180 and its relevance for neutrino nucleosynthesis SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article ID R-PROCESS; SPALLATION AB The Gamow-Teller strength distributions below the particle threshold in La-138 and Ta-180, deduced from high-resolution measurements of the (He-3,t) reaction at 0 degrees, allow us to evaluate the role of charged-current reactions for the production of these extremely rare nuclides in neutrino-nucleosynthesis models. The analysis suggests that essentially all La-138 in the Universe can be made that way. Neutrino nucleosynthesis also contributes significantly to the abundance of Ta-180 but the magnitude depends on the unknown branching ratio for population of the long-lived isomer.

This requirement leads to a universal scaling law for flux-measuring correlation functions, which generalizes the 4/5th law of Navier-Stokes turbulence. We demonstrate the utility of this simple idea by deriving new exact scaling relations for models of aggregating particle systems in the fluctuation-dominated regime and for energy and wave action cascades in models of strong wave turbulence.

Two features are remarkable: (i) a sharp discontinuity in all the crystallographic axes associated with the upper superconducting critical field B-c2 that becomes less pronounced as the temperature increases and (ii) a distinctive second orderlike feature observed only along the c axis in the high field (10 T less than or similar to B <= B-c2) low temperature (T less than or similar to 0.35 K) region. This second order transition is observed only when the magnetic field lies within 20 degrees of the ab planes and there is no signature of it above B-c2, which raises questions regarding its interpretation as a field induced magnetically ordered phase. Good agreement with previous results suggests that this anomaly is related to the transition to a possible Fulde-Ferrel-Larkin-Ovchinnikov superconducting state.

TI Coherent decay of Bose-Einstein condensates SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article ID 3-BODY RECOMBINATION; ATOMS; HYDROGEN; GAS AB Atomic Bose-Einstein condensates are singular forms of matter with the coherence between constituent atoms as a defining characteristic. Although this viewpoint is increasingly validated through experimental findings, the mechanisms behind the observed losses are still understood with classical recombinant collision arguments between particles within the condensate itself. By incorporating a general interparticle interaction into the Hamiltonian, a coherent decay rate can be obtained, thus providing a direct link between the observed losses and the microscopic two-body parameters. Appearing in the lifetime, the interaction strength, lambda, is expressed as lambda=8 pi a/(1-delta), where the small parameter delta is obtained from a fit to experimental loss data. Most importantly, the lowest order rate exhibits a novel density dependence (rho(3/2)) that can be identified in low temperature tests. C1 Los Alamos Natl Lab, Los Alamos, NM 87545 USA.

TI Ideal laser-beam propagation through high-temperature ignition hohlraum plasmas SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article ID SCALE; SCATTERING; FACILITY; TARGETS AB We demonstrate that a blue (3 omega, 351 nm) laser beam with an intensity of 2x10(15) W cm(-2) propagates nearly within the original beam cone through a millimeter scale, T-e=3.5 keV high density (n(e)=5x10(20) cm(-3)) plasma. The beam produced less than 1% total backscatter at these high temperatures and densities; the resulting transmission is greater than 90%. Scaling of the electron temperature in the plasma shows that the plasma becomes transparent for uniform electron temperatures above 3 keV. These results are consistent with linear theory thresholds for both filamentation and backscatter instabilities inferred from detailed hydrodynamic simulations. This provides a strong justification for current inertial confinement fusion designs to remain below these thresholds. C1 Lawrence Livermore Natl Lab, Livermore, CA 94551 USA.

TI Ionization-induced electron trapping in ultrarelativistic plasma wakes SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article ID WAVE-BREAKING; OSCILLATIONS; ACCELERATION; PULSES AB The onset of trapping of electrons born inside a highly relativistic, 3D beam-driven plasma wake is investigated. Trapping occurs in the transition regions of a Li plasma confined by He gas. Li plasma electrons support the wake, and higher ionization potential He atoms are ionized as the beam is focused by Li ions and can be trapped. As the wake amplitude is increased, the onset of trapping is observed. Some electrons gain up to 7.6 GeV in a 30.5 cm plasma. The experimentally inferred trapping threshold is at a wake amplitude of 36 GV/m, in good agreement with an analytical model and PIC simulations.

Upon UV illumination, the conjugated chromophore undergoes a cis-trans isomerization leading to a charge redistribution near the nanotube. This charge redistribution changes the local electrostatic environment, shifting the threshold voltage and increasing the conductivity of the nanotube transistor. For a similar to 1%-2% coverage, we measure a shift in the threshold voltage of up to 1.2 V. Further, the conductance change is reversible and repeatable over long periods of time, indicating that the chromophore-functionalized nanotubes are useful for integrated nanophotodetectors.

Ultrafast excitation of porphyrinic molecular J aggregates into the S-2 state is followed by a second pulse of varying incident wave vector to produce a tunable plasmon in the film. When the plasmon overlaps the S-1 state, energy flows from S-2 to S-1 at high efficiency. If the plasmon hybridizes with the S-2 state, the excitation remains in the S-2 vibrational manifold during quenching to the ground state. These results could have significant impact on the design of active molecular devices. C1 Argonne Natl Lab, Ctr Nanoscale Mat, Argonne, IL 60439 USA.

We used a set of protein-coding marker genes, extracted from large-scale environmental shotgun sequencing data, to provide a more direct, quantitative, and accurate picture of community composition than that provided by traditional ribosomal RNA-based approaches depending on the polymerase chain reaction. Mapping marker genes from four diverse environmental data sets onto a reference species phylogeny shows that certain communities evolve faster than others. The method also enables determination of preferred habitats for entire microbial clades and provides evidence that such habitat preferences are often remarkably stable over time.

Here, using molecular dynamics simulation, we examine the effects of three closely-related sterols, ergosterol, cholesterol, and lanosterol, at a biologically relevant concentration (40 mol %) on the structural properties of a model dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) membrane at 309 and 323 K. All three sterols are found to order the DPPC acyl tails and condense the membrane relative to the DPPC liquid-phase membrane, but each one does this to a significantly different degree. The smooth alpha-face of ergosterol, together with the presence of tail unsaturation in this sterol, leads to closer interaction of ergosterol with the lipids and closer packing of the lipids with each other, so ergosterol has a higher condensing effect on the membrane, as reflected by the area per lipid. Moreover, ergosterol induces a higher proportion of trans lipid conformers, a thicker membrane, and higher lipid order parameters and is aligned more closely with the membrane normal. Ergosterol also positions itself closer to the bilayer/water interface. In contrast, the rough alpha-face of lanosterol leads to a less close interaction of the steroid ring system with the phospholipid acyl chains, and so lanosterol orders, straightens, and packs the lipid acyl chains less well and is less closely aligned with the membrane normal. Furthermore, lanosterol lies closer to the relatively disordered membrane center than do the other sterols. The behavior of cholesterol in all the above respects is intermediate between that of lanosterol and ergosterol. The findings here may explain why ergosterol is the most efficient of the three sterols at promoting the liquid-ordered phase and lipid domain formation and may also furnish part of the explanation as to why cholesterol is evolutionarily preferred over lanosterol in higher-vertebrate plasma membranes.

It is found that when compared to REMD simulations using TIP3P the GB REMD simulations contain significant differences in secondary structure populations, most notably an overabundance of alpha-helical secondary structure. This discrepancy is explored via comparison of the differences in the electrostatic component of the free energy of solvation (Delta Delta G(pol)) between TIP3P (via thermodynamic Integration calculations), the GB models, and an implicit solvent model based on the Poisson equation (PE). The electrostatic components of the solvation free energies are calculated using each solvent model for four representative conformations of Ala10. Since the PE model is found to have the best performance with respect to reproducing TIP3P Delta Delta G(pol) values, effective Born radii from the GB models are compared to effective Born radii calculated with PE (so-called perfect radii), and significant and numerous deviations in GB radii from perfect radii are found in all GB models. The effect of these deviations on the solvation free energy is discussed, and it is shown that even when perfect radii are used the agreement of GB with TIP3P Delta Delta G(pol) values does not improve. This suggests a limit to the optimization of the effective Born radius calculation and that future efforts to improve the accuracy of GB models must extend beyond such optimizations.

When dosing is initiated, 2-butanol preferentially adsorbs at bridge-bonded oxygen vacancy (BBOV) sites and dissociates via O-H, not C-O, bond scission to form paired 2-butoxy and hydroxyl species evidenced by two local maxima in STM line profiles. As the dose increases, but before all the BBOV's are occupied, there is direct STM evidence of hydrogen hopping of the hydroxyl to an adjacent oxygen anion row. This process is facilitated by species bound to 5-coordinate Ti4+ rows, presumably undissociated 2-butanol, that hop slowly on the STM imaging time scale. The carbon backbones of these mobile species are centered over the Ti4+ rows with a preference for lying parallel to these rows. On the other hand, the carbon backbones of the 2-butoxy species that fill BBOV's are centered over the O2- rows and prefer an orientation perpendicular to these rows. As the oxygen vacancy concentration increases from 0.4 to 11% and 2-butanol is dosed, the ratio of mobile Ti4+-bound 2-butanol to stationary BBOV-bound 2-butoxy species decreases for doses that do not fill all the BBOV's.

Inhomogeneous viscosity and diffusivity measurement by computer simulations SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY C LA English DT Article ID MOLECULAR-DYNAMICS SIMULATION; SELF-DIFFUSION; ELECTROOSMOTIC FLOW; WATER INTERFACE; POISEUILLE FLOW; ADSORPTION; MODEL; POTENTIALS; FLUIDS AB Molecular dynamics simulations were conducted to characterize the dynamic properties of the interface between aqueous electrolyte and the (110) surface of rutile (alpha-TiO2). For the first time, the inhomogeneous viscosity of water (at liquid density) in a slab formed by two rutile surfaces was determined computation ally. The viscosity and diffusivity profiles show three different regions as a function of distance from the surface: (i) a region of two adsorbed layers of water molecules with apparently infinite viscosity and zero diffusivity, (ii) an interfacial inhomogeneous region consisting of additional 2-3 layers, and (iii) bulk-liquid behavior recovered as close as 15 angstrom from the surface. The second layer of adsorbed water molecules becomes more loosely bound to the surface with increasing temperature up to 523 K. Our results supplement our previous structural findings and confirm that not only the structural but also the dynamic properties of the interface indicate that bulk properties are recovered within about 15-20 angstrom angstrom from the surface.

TI Comparative estimation of the reproduction number for pandemic influenza from daily case notification data SO JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY INTERFACE LA English DT Article DE Spanish flu; pandemic; influenza; reproduction number; San Francisco ID ACUTE RESPIRATORY SYNDROME; TRANSMISSION DYNAMICS; HONG-KONG; EPIDEMICS; MODELS; SARS; INFECTION; INTERVENTIONS; HOUSEHOLD; DISEASES AB The reproduction number, R, defined as the average number of secondary cases generated by a primary case, is a crucial quantity for identifying the intensity of interventions required to control an epidemic. Current estimates of the reproduction number for seasonal influenza show wide variation and, in particular, uncertainty bounds for R for the pandemic strain from 1918 to 1919 have been obtained only in a few recent studies and are yet to be fully clarified. Here, we estimate R using daily case notifications during the autumn wave of the influenza pandemic (Spanish flu) in the city of San Francisco, California, from 1918 to 1919. In order to elucidate the effects from adopting different estimation approaches, four different methods are used: estimation of R using the early exponential-growth rate (Method 1), a simple susceptible exposed - infectious - recovered (SEIR) model (Method 2), a more complex SEIR-type model that accounts for asymptomatic and hospitalized cases ( Method 3), and a stochastic susceptible - infectious - removed (SIR) with Bayesian estimation (Method 4) that determines the effective reproduction number R-t at a given time t. The first three methods. t the initial exponential-growth phase of the epidemic, which was explicitly determined by the goodness-of-fit test. Moreover, Method 3 was also fitted to the whole epidemic curve. Whereas the values of R obtained using the first three methods based on the initial growth phase were estimated to be 2.98 (95% confidence interval (CI): 2.73, 3.25), 2.38 (2.16, 2.60) and 2.20 (1.55, 2.84), the third method with the entire epidemic curve yielded a value of 3.53 (3.45, 3.62). This larger value could be an overestimate since the goodness-of-fit to the initial exponential phase worsened when we fitted the model to the entire epidemic curve, and because the model is established as an autonomous system without time-varying assumptions. These estimates were shown to be robust to parameter uncertainties, but the theoretical exponential-growth approximation (Method 1) shows wide uncertainty. Method 4 provided a maximum-likelihood effective reproduction number 2.10 (1.21, 2.95) using the first 17 epidemic days, which is consistent with estimates obtained from the other methods and an estimate of 2.36 (2.07, 2.65) for the entire autumn wave. We conclude that the reproduction number for pandemic influenza (Spanish flu) at the city level can be robustly assessed to lie in the range of 2.0 3.0, in broad agreement with previous estimates using distinct data.

The four bands obtained are assigned to N-H stretching modes and to O-H stretching modes. The N-H stretching modes observed are blueshifted with respect to the corresponding modes of the free NH4+ ion, whereas a redshift is observed with respect to the modes of the free NH3 molecule. The O-H stretching modes observed are redshifted when compared to the free H2O molecule. The asymmetric stretching modes give rise to rotationally resolved perpendicular transitions. The K-type equidistant rotational spacings of 11.1(2) cm(-1) (NH4+) and 29(3) cm(-1) (H2O) deviate systematically from the corresponding values of the free molecules, a fact which is rationalized in terms of a symmetric top analysis. The relative band intensities recorded compare favorably with predictions of high level ab initio calculations, except on the nu(3)(H2O) band for which the observed value is about 20 times weaker than the calculated one. The nu(3)(H2O)/nu(1)(H2O) intensity ratios from other published action spectra in other cationic complexes vary such that the nu(3)(H2O) intensities become smaller the stronger the complexes are bound. The recorded ratios vary, in particular, among the data collected from action spectra that were recorded with and without rare gas tagging. The calculated anharmonic coupling constants in NH4+(H2O) further suggest that the coupling of the nu(3)(H2O) and nu(1)(H2O) modes to other cluster modes indeed varies by orders of magnitude. These findings together render a picture of a mode specific fragmentation dynamic that modulates band intensities in action spectra with respect to absorption spectra. Additional high level electronic structure calculations at the coupled-cluster singles and doubles with a perturbative treatment of triple excitations [CCSD(T)] level of theory with large basis sets allow for the determination of an accurate binding energy and enthalpy of the NH4+(H2O) cluster. The authors' extrapolated values at the CCSD(T) complete basis set limit are D-e [NH4+-(H2O)]=-85.40(+/- 0.24) kJ/mol and Delta H-(298 K) [NH4+-(H2O)]=-78.3(+/- 0.3) kJ/mol (CC2), in which double standard deviations are indicated in parentheses.

TI Low variance energy estimators for systems of quantum Drude oscillators: Treating harmonic path integrals with large separations of time scales SO JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID MONTE-CARLO SIMULATIONS; MANY-BODY POLARIZATION; MOLECULAR-DYNAMICS; DISPERSION; FLUIDS; MODEL; APPROXIMATION; POTENTIALS; ALGORITHMS; PROPAGATOR AB In the effort to develop atomistic models capable of accurately describing nanoscale systems with complex interfaces, it has become clear that simple treatments with rigid charge distributions and dispersion coefficients selected to generate bulk properties are insufficient to predict important physical properties. The quantum Drude oscillator model, a system of one-electron pseudoatoms whose "pseudoelectrons" are harmonically bound to their respective "pseudonuclei," is capable of treating many-body polarization and dispersion interactions in molecular systems on an equal footing due to the ability of the pseudoatoms to mimic the long-range interactions that characterize real materials. Using imaginary time path integration, the Drude oscillator model can, in principle, be solved in computer operation counts that scale linearly with the number of atoms in the system. In practice, however, standard expressions for the energy and pressure, including the commonly used virial estimator, have extremely large variances that require untenably long simulation times to generate converged averages. In this paper, low-variance estimators for the internal energy are derived, in which the large zero-point energy of the oscillators does not contribute to the variance. The new estimators are applicable to any system of harmonic oscillators coupled to one another (or to the environment) via an arbitrary set of anharmonic interactions. The variance of the new estimators is found to be much smaller than standard estimators in three example problems, a one-dimensional anharmonic oscillator and quantum Drude models of the xenon dimer and solid (fcc) xenon, respectively, yielding 2-3 orders of magnitude improvement in computational efficiency.

SrTiO3 has a dielectric resonance at similar to 100 cm(-1) that can be lowered by lowering the temperature or with Ba doping. NiO has an antiferromagnetic resonance at similar to 35 cm(-1) that can be raised with an applied field or with Co doping. These resonance frequencies can therefore be engineered to occur at the same frequency to achieve a negative index of refraction over an interval just above the coincident resonance. We show that SrTiO3 and NiO are readily chemically compatible and non-reacting at temperatures up to 1550 degrees C and can be formed into polycrystalline composite bodies. Epitaxial thin film heterostructures of ( SrTiO3/NiO) n/ MgO with n = 1, 2 have also been fabricated with very high crystal quality. C1 Cornell Univ, Dept Mat Sci & Engn, Ithaca, NY 14853 USA.

Addition of ammonia-borane to an active catalyst formed in situ from the reaction of Ni(cod)(2) and 2 equiv of an appropriate N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) rapidly evolves hydrogen at 60 degrees C. Using a gas burette to quantify the gas evolved, 29 of a possible 31 mL of H-2 for 3 equiv of H-2 was produced, equating to > 2.5 equiv of H-2 from ammonia-borane. Kinetic isotope effects of deuterated derivatives of ammonia-borane suggest that both N-H and B-H bonds are being broken in the rate-determining step(s).

Nanotube isolation is maintained in the dispersions by the electrostatic repulsion between the dodecylsulfate groups adsorbed on the nanotube surface. We present data showing changes in SWNT absorbance and emission spectra in response to titrating the dispersion with salt solutions. The results show an ability to manipulate surface charge density on the SWNTs through changes in surfactant equilibria and charge screening. The diameter dependence of these effects allows diameter-selective aggregation of SWNTs, with some specific cases of chirality-dependent stability being demonstrated.

TI Ultrafast structural rearrangements in the MLCT excited state for copper(I) bis-phenanthrolines in solution SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID CHARGE-TRANSFER STATES; SOLVATION DYNAMICS; X-RAY; PHOTOPHYSICAL PROPERTIES; ABSORPTION-SPECTROSCOPY; CU(NN)(2)(+) SYSTEMS; MOLECULAR-STRUCTURES; RAMAN-SPECTROSCOPY; DFT CALCULATIONS; ENERGY-TRANSFER AB Ultrafast excited-state structural dynamics of [Cu-I(dmp)(2)](+) (dmp = 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline) have been studied to identify structural origins of transient spectroscopic changes during the photoinduced metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) transition that induces an electronic configuration change from Cu(I) (3d(10)) to Cu(II) (3d(9)). This study has important connections with the flattening of the Franck-Condon state tetrahedral geometry and the ligation of Cu(II)* with the solvent observed in the thermally equilibrated MLCT state by our previous laser-initiated time-resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy (LITR-XAS) results. To better understand the structural photodynamics of Cu(I) complexes, we have studied both [Cu-I(dmp)(2)](+) and [Cu-I(dpp)(2)](+) (dpp = 2,9-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline) in solvents with different dielectric constants, viscosities, and thermal diffusivities by transient absorption spectroscopy. The observed spectral dynamics suggest that a solvent-independent inner-sphere relaxation process is occurring despite the large amplitude motions due to the flattening of the tetrahedral coordinated geometry. The singlet fluorescence dynamics of photoexcited [Cu-I(dmp)(2)](+) were measured in the coordinating solvent acetonitrile, using the fluorescence upconversion method at different emission wavelengths. At the bluest emission wavelengths, a prompt fluorescence lifetime of 77 fs is attributed to the excited-state deactivation processes due to the internal conversion and intersystem crossing at the Franck-Condon state geometry. The differentiation between the prompt fluorescence lifetime with the tetrahedral Franck-Condon geometry and that with the flattened tetrahedral geometry uncovers an unexpected ultrafast flattening process in the MLCT state of [Cu-I(dmp)(2)](+). These results provide guidance for future X-ray structural studies on ultrafast time scale, as well as for synthesis toward its applications in solar energy conversion.

High resolution transmission electron microscopy and UV-visible spectroscopy techniques are used to observe the variation in size, structure and oxidation state, respectively as a function of time. The morphology variation and the hierarchical assembly (octahedral superstructure) of nanostructures are imputed to the inherent structural aspects of cerium oxide. It is hypothesized that the 3-5 nm individual building blocks will undergo an intra-agglomerate re-orientation to attain the low energy configuration. This communication also emphasizes the need for long term ageing studies of nanomaterials in various solvents for multiple functionalities.

TI Role of twinning on texture evolution of silver during equal channel angular extrusion SO PHILOSOPHICAL MAGAZINE LA English DT Article ID STACKING-FAULT ENERGY; FCC METALS; PLASTIC-DEFORMATION; MICROSTRUCTURAL EVOLUTION; CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC TEXTURE; POLYCRYSTALLINE SILVER; MODELING TEXTURE; ZIRCONIUM ALLOYS; SINGLE-CRYSTALS; COPPER AB The role of deformation twinning in the texture evolution of pure polycrystalline silver subjected to equal channel angular extrusion (Route A, three passes) has been examined. Microstructural characterization using electron backscattering diffraction and transmission electron microscopy revealed high twinning activity in every pass, as well as significant grain refinement. Polycrystal modelling combined with experimental analysis shows that texture evolution is a result of slip and deformation twinning that occurs in every pass. It is shown that the primary consequence of twinning is the reorientation of the A(1) ideal component into the A(2) orientation. This process results in a weak A(1) and a strong A(2) component. This twinning mechanism is repeated in each pass aided by the strain path changes associated with Route A and an apparent regeneration of the microstructure. As a result, with each pass the A(1) and C ideal shear components weaken, whereas the B/B components strengthen, tendencies that are distinct from those of high stacking fault fee metals like Al, Cu and Ni.

TI Atomic-scale computer simulation study of the interaction of Cu-rich precipitates with irradiation-produced defects in alpha-Fe SO PHILOSOPHICAL MAGAZINE LA English DT Article ID RESOLUTION ELECTRON-MICROSCOPY; PRESSURE-VESSEL STEELS; 111 SCREW DISLOCATION; COPPER PRECIPITATION; NEUTRON-IRRADIATION; CORE STRUCTURE; DILUTE FECU; IRON; ALLOYS; TRANSPORT AB Copper-rich precipitates can nucleate and grow in ferritic steels containing small amounts of copper in solution and this affects mechanical properties. Growth kinetics, composition and structure of precipitates under irradiation are different from those under thermal ageing, and also vary with type of radiation. This implies that the interaction between radiation defects, i.e. vacancies, self-interstitial atoms (SIAs) and their clusters, and precipitates is influential. It is studied here by atomic-scale computer simulation. The results are compared with those of elasticity theory based on the size misfit of precipitates and defects, and the modulus difference between bee iron and bee copper. It is found that SIA defects are repelled by precipitates at large distance but, like vacancies, attracted at small distance. Copper precipitates in iron can, therefore, be sinks for both vacancy and interstitial defects and hence can act as recombination centres under irradiation conditions. A tentative explanation for the mixed Cu-Fe structure of precipitates observed in experiment and the absence of precipitate growth under neutron irradiation is given. More generally, agreement between the simulations and elasticity theory suggests that the results are not artefacts of the atomic model: both vacancy and interstitial defects in metals may bind to precipitates with weaker cohesion than the matrix.

TI Magnetic separation of micro-spheres from viscous biological fluids SO PHYSICS IN MEDICINE AND BIOLOGY LA English DT Article ID EXTRACORPOREAL BLOOD-CIRCULATION; IMMUNOMAGNETIC CELL-SEPARATION; FLOW-THROUGH; HEMODIALYSIS; SURFACES; CAPTURE; SYSTEMS; FORMAT; MODEL; FIELD AB A magnetically based detoxification system is being developed as a therapeutic tool for selective and rapid removal of biohazards, i.e. chemicals and radioactive substances, from human blood. One of the key components of this system is a portable magnetic separator capable of separating polymer-based magnetic nano/micro-spheres from arterial blood flow in an ex vivo unit. The magnetic separator consists of an array of alternating and parallel capillary tubing and magnetizable wires, which is exposed to an applied magnetic field created by two parallel permanent magnets such that the magnetic field is perpendicular to both the wires and the fluid flow. In this paper, the performance of this separator was evaluated via preliminary in vitro flow experiments using a separator unit consisting of single capillary glass tubing and two metal wires. Pure water, ethylene glycol-water solution (v:v = 39: 61 and v:v = 49: 51) and human whole blood were used as the fluids. The results showed that when the viscosity increased from 1.0 cp to 3.0 cp, the capture efficiency (CE) decreased from 90% to 56%. However, it is still feasible to obtain > 90% CE in blood flow if the separator design is optimized to create higher magnetic gradients and magnetic fields in the separation area.

Previous work showed that catalyst fluidization is required to efficiently reform biomass-derived pyrolysis oil and its fractions to syngas as fluidization optimizes contact between catalyst particles and feedstocks while reducing coke formation. Biomass-derived tars like pyrolysis oils are also complex, largely aromatic feedstocks that require fluidization to improve reforming efficiency. Because industrial reforming catalysts are designed for fixed-bed operations and not for fluidized processing, attrition resistant supports and catalysts required development. We identified and tested particulate aluminas for attrition resistance under fluidized steam reforming conditions and prepared nickel-based catalysts from the strongest supports. The performance of these catalysts was tested in a microactivity test system (MATS), which used I g catalyst quantities, had high throughput, and measured oxidation, reduction and model tar compound steam reforming. Promising candidates from MATS screening were next evaluated in a laboratory-scale fluidized bed reactor with 250 g of catalyst using more realistic flow conditions and input streams. A 60 kg batch of the best catalyst identified in the laboratory fluid bed was then prepared and evaluated for biomass-derived syngas conditioning in a pilot-scale reformer. Fresh and used catalysts were characterized with scanning electron, energy dispersive X-ray, and inductively coupled plasma spectroscopies. The most active and attrition resistant catalyst identified through multi-stage testing contains nickel, magnesium and potassium on 90% alpha alumina particles of 100-400 mu m size.

The current-carrying, Poynting flux dominated magnetic tower jet, which possesses a highly wound helical magnetic field, is subject to the current-driven instability (CDI). We find that, under general physical conditions including small perturbations in the initial background profiles, the propagating magnetic tower jets develop the nonaxisymmetric, m = 1 kink mode of the CDI. The kink mode grows on the local Alfven crossing timescale. In addition, two types of kink modes appear in the system. At the central region where external thermal pressure confinement is strong, only the internal kink mode is excited and will grow. A large distance away from the central region where the external thermal pressure becomes low, the external kink mode is observed. As a result, the exterior of magnetic tower jets will be deformed into a large-scale wiggled structure. We also discuss extensively the different physical processes that contribute to the overall stability properties of the magnetic tower jets. Specifically, when the jet propagates in an initially unperturbed background, we find that it can survive the kink mode beyond the point predicted by the well-known Kruskal-Shafranov (K-S) criterion. The stabilization in this case comes mainly from the dynamical relaxation of magnetic twists during the propagation of magnetic towers; the magnetic pitch is reduced, and the corresponding K-S critical wavelength becomes longer as the tower jet proceeds. Furthermore, we show that the pressure-driven and Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities do not occur in the magnetic tower jets. This strongly suggests that the CDI is the primary reason for the wiggling structures in jets. C1 Los Alamos Natl Lab, Los Alamos, NM 87545 USA.

Our simulations use the Orion adaptive mesh refinement code to follow the collapse from similar to 0.1 pc scales to similar to 10 AU scales, for durations that cover the main fragmentation phase, using three-dimensional gravito-radiation hydrodynamics. We find that for a wide range of initial conditions radiation feedback from accreting protostars inhibits the formation of fragments, so that the vast majority of the collapsed mass accretes onto one or a few objects. Most of the fragmentation that does occur takes place in massive, self-shielding disks. These are driven to gravitational instability by rapid accretion, producing rapid mass and angular momentum transport that allows most of the gas to accrete onto the central star rather than forming fragments. In contrast, a control run using the same initial conditions but an isothermal equation of state produces much more fragmentation, both in and out of the disk. We conclude that massive cores with observed properties are not likely to fragment into many stars, so that, at least at high masses, the core mass function probably determines the stellar initial mass function. Our results also demonstrate that simulations of massive star-forming regions that do not include radiative transfer, and instead rely on a barotropic equation of state or optically thin heating and cooling curves, are likely to produce misleading results.

We use these data and models to determine an accurate bolometric luminosity of log L-bol/ L-circle dot = -5.67 and to constrain the effective temperature, gravity, mass, and age to 725 - 775 K, log g = 5.00 - 5.37, M = 33 - 58 M-Jup, and age = 3 - 10 Gyr. We perform the same analysis using published 0.6 - 15 mu m spectra for the T7.5 dwarf 2MASS J12171110 - 0311131, for which we find a metal-rich composition ([Fe/H] similar to 0: 3), and log L-bol/L-circle dot = -5.31, T-eff = 850 - 950 K, log g = 4.80 - 5.42, M = 25 - 66 M-Jup, and age = 1 - 10 Gyr. These luminosities and effective temperatures straddle those determined with the same method and models for G1 570D by Saumon et al. and make 2MASS J04151954 - 0935066 the coolest and least luminous T dwarf with well-determined properties. We find that synthetic spectra generated by the models reproduce the observed red through mid-infrared spectra of 2MASS J04151954 - 0935066 and 2MASS J12171110 - 0311131 very well, except for known discrepancies that are most likely due to the incomplete CH4 opacities. Both objects show evidence of departures from strict chemical equilibrium, and we discuss this result in the context of other late T dwarfs in which disequilibrium phenomena have been observed.

TI Structural and functional analysis of the pyocyanin biosynthetic protein PhzM from Pseudomonas aeruginosa SO BIOCHEMISTRY LA English DT Article ID METHYLTRANSFERASE; FLUORESCENS; MECHANISM; INFECTION; PRODUCTS; PIGMENTS; COMPLEX AB Pyocyanin is a biologically active phenazine produced by the human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It is thought to endow P. aeruginosa with a competitive growth advantage in colonized tissue and is also thought to be a virulence factor in diseases such as cystic fibrosis and AIDS where patients are commonly infected by pathogenic Pseudomonads due to their immunocompromised state. Pyocyanin is also a chemically interesting compound due to its unusual oxidation-reduction activity. Phenazine-1-carboxylic acid, the precursor to the bioactive phenazines, is synthesized from chorismic acid by enzymes encoded in a seven-gene cistron in P. aeruginosa and in other Pseudomonads. Phenzine-1-carboxylic acid is believed to be converted to pyocyanin by the sequential actions of the putative S-adenosylmethionine-dependent N-methyltransferase PhzM and the putative flavin-dependent hydroxylase PhzS. Here we report the 1.8 A crystal structure of PhzM determined by single anomalous dispersion. Unlike many methyltransferases, PhzM is a dimer in solution. The 36 kDa PhzM polypeptide folds into three domains. The C-terminal domain exhibits the alpha/beta-hydrolase fold typical of small molecule methyltransferases. Two smaller N-terminal domains form much of the dimer interface. Structural alignments with known methyltransferases show that PhzM is most similar to the plant O-methyltransferases that are characterized by an unusual intertwined dimer interface. The structure of PhzM contains no ligands, and the active site is open and solvent-exposed when compared to structures of similar enzymes. In vitro experiments using purified PhzM alone demonstrate that it has little or no ability to methylate phenzine-1-carboxylic acid. However, when the putative hydroxylase PhzS is included, pyocyanin is readily produced. This observation suggests that a mechanism has evolved in P. aeruginosa that ensures efficient production of pyocyanin via the prevention of the formation and release of an unstable and potentially deleterious intermediate.

TI Substrate specificity of human thymine-DNA glycosylase on exocyclic cytosine adducts SO CHEMICO-BIOLOGICAL INTERACTIONS LA English DT Article DE glycidaldehyde; chloroethylnitrosoureas; hydroxymethyl etheno adduct; ethano adduct; thymine-DNA glycosylase ID SITE-SPECIFIC INCORPORATION; CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE; VINYL-CHLORIDE; MOLECULAR-DYNAMICS; OLIGOMERIC DNA; N-GLYCOSYLASE; IN-VITRO; MISMATCH; GLYCIDALDEHYDE; REPAIR AB The environmental carcinogen glycidaldehyde (GDA) and therapeutic chloroethylnitrosoureas (CNUs) can form hydroxymethyl etheno and ring-saturated ethano bases, respectively. The mutagenic potential of these adducts relies on their miscoding properties and repair efficiency. In this work, the ability of human thymine-DNA glycosylase (TDG) to excise 8-(hydroxymethyl)-3,N(4)-ethenocytosine (8-hm-epsilon C) and 3,N(4)-ethanocytosine (EC) was investigated and compared with epsilon C, a known substrate for TDG. When tested using defined oligonucleotides containing a single adduct, TDG is able to excise 8-hm-eC but not EC. The 8-hm-epsilon C activity mainly depends on guanine pairing with the adduct. TDG removes 8-hm-epsilon C less efficiently than epsilon C but its activity can be significantly enhanced by human AP endonuclease I (APEI), a downstream enzyme in the base excision repair. TDG did not show any detectable activity toward EC when placed in various neighboring sequences, including the 5'-CpG site. Molecular modeling revealed a possible steric clash between the non-planar EC exocyclic ring and residue Asn 191 within the TDG active site, which could account for the lack of TDG activity toward EC. TDG was not active against the bulkier exocyclic adduct 3,N(4)-benzethenocytosine, nor the two adenine derivatives with same modifications as the cytosine derivatives, 7-hm-epsilon A and EA. These findings expand the TDG substrate range and aid in understanding the structural requirements for TDG substrate specificity. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.

The TiFO5 octahedron is highly distorted, with a short "titanyl" Ti-O bond and a long Ti-F bond. The "titanyl" oxygen is almost doubly bonded to Ti; the square-net sheets are linked only by sharing common F atoms, which lead to a rather opened framework containing 2D channels in the ab plane. The counter cations Na+ and water molecules reside in the channels. At high temperature, the adsorbed water molecules escape from the channels, leading to an anhydrous phase Na-3[Ti2P2O10F] (2) with exactly the same structural framework as that of 1. 2 is stable at high temperature in an Ar atmosphere, but decomposes to other known titanium phosphates and oxide at about 650 degrees C in air. The Na ions in the compound are exchangeable. In addition, 2 exhibits a Na conductivity comparable to that of the NASICON type titanium phosphates (1.0 x 10(-4) Omega(-1) cm(-1) at 200 degrees C).

TI Remote sensing assessment of regional yield losses due to sub-optimal planting dates and fallow period weed management SO FIELD CROPS RESEARCH LA English DT Article DE wheat; planting date; fallow period weeds; remote sensing; satellites ID WHEAT YIELD; TEMPERATURE; RADIATION AB New tools in agricultural research are needed for improved assessment of agronomic practices and their impacts on crop production. Remote sensing data acquired by satellite sensors offers great promise to complement field-based approaches, which generally suffer from small sample sizes. In this stud, we used Landsat data from the Yaqui Valley, a prominent spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) growing region in Northwest Mexico, to investigate the effect of planting date and fallow period weeds on wheat yields. Three crops cycles were analyzed for the planting date study, while 2 years were investigated for the weed study. The satellite estimates of planting date agreed well with farmer reported dates in 100 fields (r(2) = 0.85, rmse = 6.5 days), although they tended to underestimate dates for early plantings (5-20 November). Comparison of planting dates with remotely sensed yields indicated that yield reductions associated with planting outside the recommended planting date (RPD) were generally small, but can be significant in years when a large number of fields are planted outside the RPD. The weed assessment study showed that wheat yields decreased substantially (> 1 t ha(-1)) when there were weeds in fields during the summer prior to planting. The total regional production loss associated with weeds during the fallow period was estimated as 5%, which implies that substantial agronomic and economic gains can be attained by maintaining fields weed free during the summer. We conclude that remote sensing provides important information for agricultural research and should be considered a valuable tool to complement field-based approaches. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.

These soundings are interpreted as ending near lightning initiation locations. Scaled to standard pressure, the largest observed E was 626 kV m(-1) and the largest estimated E was 929 kV m(-1). E exceeded runaway breakdown threshold, RBth, by factors of 1.1 - 3.3 before each flash, and overvoltages were 1.4 - 4.3. Seven cases had rapid E increases ( rates of 11 - 100 kV m(-1) s(-1)) in the few seconds before the flash, and in three the maximum E occurred 3 s or more before the flash. A tenth sounding with E > RBth for 38 s had subsequent lightning initiate 2 km from the balloon; one channel came within 400 m, but the flash and large E did not adversely affect the instruments. The findings suggest that E > RBth is a necessary condition for lightning initiation, but it is not sufficient. C1 Univ Mississippi, Dept Phys & Astron, University, MS 38677 USA.

Previous studies have indicated that the effective rnatrix diffusion coefficient values, obtained from a large number of field tracer tests, are enhanced in comparison with local values and may increase with test scale. In this study, we have performed numerical experiments to investigate potential mechanisms behind possible scale-dependent behavior. The focus of the experiments is on solute transport in flow paths having geometries consistent with percolation theories and characterized by multiple local flow loops formed mainly by small-scale fractures. The water velocity distribution through a flow path was determined using discrete fracture network flow simulations, and solute transport was calculated using a previously derived impulse-response function and a particle-tracking scheme. Values for effective (or up-scaled) transport parameters were obtained by matching breakthrough curves from numerical experiments with an analytical solution for solute transport along a single fracture. Results indicate that a combination of local flow loops and the associated matrix diffusion process, together with scaling properties in flow path geometry, seems to be an important mechanism causing the observed scale dependence of the effective rnatrix diffusion coefficient (at a range of scales).

The time evolution of chain diffusion below the bulk glass transition temperature (T-g) with and without CO2 was measured by neutron reflectivity. It was found that polymer chains at the interface can self-diffuse at a temperature below their bulk T-g because of higher surface chain mobility and that adding CO2, even at low pressures, can greatly enhance the chain mobility. When the interactions between the polymer chains and the substrate are weak as in the PS/Si configuration, the confining effects of the substrate are not significant, while in the case of the PMMA/SiO2 configuration the interactions are strong enough to confine polymer chains onto the substrate at the nanoscale. Introducing CO2 tends to alleviate this confining effect. C1 Ohio State Univ, Dept Chem & Biomol Engn, Columbus, OH 43210 USA.

Component A was saturated polybutadiene with 89% 1,2-addition, component B was polyisobutylene, and component C was saturated polybutadiene with 63% 1,2-addition. The C-block exhibits attractive interactions with B and repulsive interactions with A. The effect of the molecular weight and concentration of the A-C block copolymer on the phase behavior of critical A/B mixtures was studied by small-angle neutron scattering. We show that organized microphases are obtained when as little as 1 vol % of the A-C copolymer is added to a 50/50 A/B mixture. In contrast, in the well-studied case of A/B/A-B mixtures, 9 vol % of the A-B diblock copolymer is needed to obtain organized microphases in a 50/50 A/B mixture. Self-consistent-field theory (SCFT) calculations, using independently determined Flory-Huggins interaction parameters and statistical segment lengths, predicted the size of the organized microphases within 10% of the experimental value for most temperatures and concentrations of diblock copolymer. The theoretically predicted phase boundary between organized microphases and macrophase separation was in good agreement with experiments.

The addition of an ether oxygen to a hydrocarbon polymer, either in the backbone or the side chain, enhances "CO2-philicity" by providing sites for specific interactions with CO2 as well as by enhancing the entropy of mixing by creating more flexible chains with higher free volume. Ab initio calculations show that both ether and ester oxygens provide very attractive interaction sites for CO2 molecules. The binding energy for an isolated ether oxygen with CO2 is larger in magnitude than that for a carbonyl oxygen/CO2 complex. However, acetate functionalized polymers are more CO2-soluble than polymers with only ether functionalitiespossibly because acetate functional groups contain a total of three binding modes for CO2 interactions, compared with only one for the ether functional group. Experiments clearly indicate that adding a single methylene group as a spacer between a polymer backbone and either an ether or acetate group exhibits a strong deleterious effect on phase behavior. This effect cannot be explained from our ab initio calculations. C1 Univ Pittsburgh, Dept Chem Engn, Pittsburgh, PA 15261 USA. US DOE, Natl Energy Technol Lab, Pittsburgh, PA 15236 USA.

These unique materials have potential wide-ranging applications including smart drug delivery, bioimplants, and molecular machines. Here, we develop a continuum method to analyze flow control through nanopores grafted with polypeptide chains. The helix-coil transition of the polypeptide chains triggered by pH change enables flow regulation. The conformational transition is treated within the Zimm-Bragg model to determine the monomer density profile of the grafted layer inside a nanopore as a function of pH. The Brinkman equation for flow through porous materials is then used to calculate the flow rate. The results are compared with recent experiments in which pH-responsive water permeation through a poly(L-glutamic acid) grafted nanoporous membrane is achieved. The results establish that polymer statistical mechanics combined with a continuum porous layer treatment of flow through the polypeptide grafted nanopore can be used to successfully design smart flow control systems.

Preliminary work has suggested that plasmon rulers can be used to measure and monitor dynamic distance changes over the 1- to 100-nm length scale in biology. Here, we substantiate that plasmon rulers can be used to measure dynamical biophysical processes by applying the ruler to a system that has been investigated extensively by using ensemble kinetic measurements: the cleavage of DNA by the restriction enzyme EcoRV. Temporal resolutions of up to 240 Hz were obtained, and the end-to-end extension of up to 1,000 individual dsDNA enzyme substrates could be simultaneously monitored for hours. The kinetic parameters extracted from our single-molecule cleavage trajectories agree well with values obtained in bulk through other methods and confirm well known features of the cleavage process, such as DNA bending before cleavage. Previously unreported dynamical information is revealed as well, for instance, the degree of softening of the DNA just before cleavage. The unlimited lifetime, high temporal resolution, and high signal/noise ratio make the plasmon ruler a unique tool for studying macromolecular assemblies and conformational changes at the single-molecule level.

TI Evolutionary genomics reveals conserved structural determinants of signaling and adaptation in microbial chemoreceptors SO PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA LA English DT Article DE chemotaxis; methyl-accepting chemotaxis protein; signal transduction ID BACTERIAL CHEMOTAXIS; ASPARTATE RECEPTOR; CYTOPLASMIC DOMAIN; METHYLATION SITES; ESCHERICHIA-COLI; COILED-COIL; HALOBACTERIUM-SALINARUM; SEQUENCE ALIGNMENT; KINASE-ACTIVITY; SENSITIVITY AB As an important model for transmembrane signaling, methyl-accepting chemotaxis proteins (MCPs) have been extensively studied by using genetic, biochemical, and structural techniques. However, details of the molecular mechanism of signaling are still not well understood. The availability of genomic information for hundreds of species enables the identification of features in protein sequences that are conserved over long evolutionary distances and thus are critically important for function. We carried out a large-scale comparative genomic analysis of the MCP signaling and adaptation domain family and identified features that appear to be critical for receptor structure and function. Based on domain length and sequence conservation, we identified seven major MCP classes and three distinct structural regions within the cytoplasmic domain: signaling, methylation, and flexible bundle subdomains. The flexible bundle subdomain, not previously recognized in MCPs, is a conserved element that appears to be important for signal transduction. Remarkably, the N- and C-terminal helical arms of the cytoplasmic domain maintain symmetry in length and register despite dramatic variation, from 24 to 64 7-aa heptads in overall domain length. Loss of symmetry is observed in some MCPs, where it is concomitant with specific changes in the sensory module. Each major MCP class has a distinct pattern of predicted methylation sites that is well supported by experimental data. Our findings indicate that signaling and adaptation functions within the MCP cytoplasmic domain are tightly coupled, and that their coevolution has contributed to the significant diversity in chemotaxis mechanisms among different organisms.

TI Microfabricated thermal conductivity detector for the micro-ChemLab (TM) SO SENSORS AND ACTUATORS B-CHEMICAL LA English DT Article DE thermal conductivity detector; mu TCD; miniature sensors; micro-ChemLab; boundary element algorithm ID SENSOR; FLOW AB This work describes the design, computational prototyping, fabrication, and characterization of a microfabricated thermal conductivity detector (mu TCD) to analyze the effluent from a micro-gas chromatograph column (mu GC) and to complement the detection efficacy of a surface acoustic wave detector in the micro-ChemLab (TM) system. To maximize the detection sensitivity, we designed a four-filament Wheatstone bridge circuit where the resistors are suspended by a thin silicon nitride membrane in pyramidal or trapezoidal shaped flow cells. The geometry optimization was carried out by simulation of the heat transfer in the devices, utilizing a boundary element algorithm. Within microfabrication constraints, we determined and fabricated nine sensitivity-optimized geometries of the RTCD. The nine optimal geometries were tested with two different flow patterns. We demonstrated that the perpendicular flow, where the gas directly impinged upon the membrane, yielded a sensitivity that is three times greater than the parallel flow, where the gas passed over the membrane. The functionality of the RTCD was validated with the theoretical prediction and showed a consistent linear response to effluent concentrations, with a detection sensitivity of 1 ppm, utilizing less than 1 W of power.

TI Ultra-trace determination of beryllium in occupational hygiene samples by ammonium bifluoride extraction and fluorescence detection using hydroxybenzoquinoline sulfonate SO ANALYTICA CHIMICA ACTA LA English DT Article DE air monitoring; beryllium; extraction; fluorescence; trace analysis; workplace ID DISEASE; ALUMINUM; SENSOR AB A highly sensitive molecular fluorescence method for measuring ultra-trace levels of beryllium has been previously described. The method entails extraction of beryllium workplace samples by 1% ammonium bifluoride (NH4HF2, aqueous), followed by fluorescence detection using hydroxybenzoquinoline sulfonate (HBQS). In this work, modification of the existing procedure resulted in a significant improvement in detection power, thereby enabling ultra-trace determination of beryllium in air filter and surface wipe samples. Such low detection limits may be necessary in view of expected decreases in applicable occupational exposure limits (OELs) for beryllium. Attributes of the modified NH4HF2 extraction/HBQS fluorescence method include method detection limits (MDLs) of < 0.8 ng to approximate to 2 ng Be per sample (depending on the fluorometer used), quantitative recoveries from beryllium oxide, a dynamic range of several orders of magnitude, and freedom from interferences. Other key advantages of the technique are field portability, relatively low cost, and high sample throughput. The method performance compares favorably with that of inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

TI Phase-field modeling of microvoid evolution under elastic-plastic deformation SO APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS LA English DT Article ID DISLOCATION; TRANSFORMATIONS; MICROSTRUCTURES; SIMULATION AB Plastic deformation reduces the local stress concentration and changes the interface coherency in a coherent microstructure. Therefore, it may affect the morphology and evolution kinetics of a microstructure. In this work, a very efficient method has been proposed to obtain the elastic-plastic solution in an elastically inhomogeneous solid. A phase-field model integrating this method has been developed to study the microvoid evolution with vacancy diffusion under elastic-plastic deformation. It is able to demonstrate the formation of slip bands around voids and to predict the effect of plastic deformations and the elastic interaction between vacancy diffusion and deformation on the void evolution and stress-strain curves.

SPC causes nanovoids in hot-wire chemical vapor deposited (HWCVD) amorphous Si films to decrease in total void fraction but increase in individual void volume. During annealing, the voids also change shape from prolate spheroids to more spherical geometries. Preexisting, large H clusters in as-deposited HWCVD films may provide favorable sites for void expansion driven by H-2 pressure, while energy minimization and strain relaxation drive geometric changes.

The WR-284 waveguide is used to heat precursor solutions using microwaves at a frequency of 2.45 GHz. The reaction vessels are designed to include sections of thin-walled glass, which permit X-rays to pass through the precursor solutions with minimal attenuation. Slots were machined into the waveguide to provide windows for X-ray energy to enter and scatter from solutions during microwave heating. The synthesis of zeolites with conventional heating is also studied using X-ray scattering in the some reactor. SAXS studies show that the crystallization of beta zeolite and NaY zeolite is preceded by a reorganization of nonosized particles in their precursor solutions or gels. The evolution of these particles during the nucleation and crystallization stages of zeolite formation depends on the properties of the precursor solution. The synthesis of NaA and NaX zeolites and sodalite from a single zeolite precursor is studied by microwave and conventional heating. Microwave heating shifts the selectivity of this synthesis in favor of NaA and NaX over sodalite; conventional heating leads to the formation of socialite for synthesis from the same precursor. The use of microwave heating also led to a more rapid onset of NaA zeolite product crystallization compared to conventional heating. Pulsed and continuous microwave heating are compared for zeolite synthesis. The resulting rates of formation of the zeolite products, and the relative amounts of the products determined from the WAXS spectra, are similar when either pulsed or continuous microwave heating is applied in the reactor while maintaining the some synthesis temperature. The consequences of these results in terms of zeolite synthesis ore discussed. C1 Univ Massachusetts, Dept Chem Engn, Amherst, MA 01003 USA.

The final fully exchange Cs+ form transformed from D-CST with unit cell parameters a = 11.0704(3) A c = 11.8917(5) A and space group P4(2)/mbc, to one with a = 7.8902(1) A c = 11.9051(4) A and space group P4(2)/mcm. Rietveld structure refinements of both D-CST and (Cs, D)-CST suggest the transition, and ultimately the selectivity, is driven by changes in the positions of water molecules, in response to the initial introduction of Cs+. The changes in water position appear to disrupt the D-O-O-D dihedral associated with the CST framework in space group P4(2)/mbc which ultimately leads to the structural transition. The new geometric arrangement of the water-deuteroxyl network in (Cs, D)-CST suggests that D-water-D-deuteroxyl repulsion forced by Cs+ exchange drives the structural transformation.

Two series of dinuclear Ni(II) complexes of the formula {[(diphosphine)Ni](2)(dithiolate)}(X)(2) (X = BF4 or PF6) have been synthesized in which the chelate ring size of the dithiolate and diphosphine ligands have been systematically varied. The structures of the alkylated mononuclear complex, [(PNPEt)Ni(SC2H4SMe)]OTf, and the dinuclear complex, [(dppeNi)(2)(SC3H6S)](BF4)(2), have been determined by X-ray diffraction studies. The complexes have been studied by cyclic voltammetry to determine how the half-wave potentials of the Ni(II/I) couples vary with chelate ring size of the ligands. For the mononuclear complexes, this potential becomes more positive as the natural bite angle of the dithiolate ligand increases. However, the potentials of the Ni(II/I) couples of the dinuclear complexes do not show a dependence on the chelate ring size of the ligands. Other aspects of the reduction chemistry of these complexes have been explored. C1 Univ Colorado, Dept Chem & Biochem, Boulder, CO 80309 USA.

A study of cyclodextrin type and concentration revealed that the addition of 30 mM hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin to the electrolyte solution (100 mM Tris adjusted to pH 2.8) was suitable to resolve the four analytes of interest. Typical analysis time was 12 min and the limit of detection for each alkaloid was 2.5 x 10(-6) M. The results for the proposed methodology were in good agreement with those of a conventional HPLC procedure. Under the same conditions, short-end injection was used to reduce the effective separation length from 41.5 to 8.5 cm, which allowed the determination of morphine and thebaine in process liquors within 2.5 min.

TI Group theoretical description of artificial electromagnetic metamaterials SO OPTICS EXPRESS LA English DT Article ID MAGNETIC-RESONANCE; FREQUENCIES AB Point group theoretical methods are used to determine the electromagnetic properties of metamaterials, based solely upon the symmetries of the underlying constituent particles. From the transformation properties of an electromagnetic ( EM) basis under symmetries of the particles, it is possible to determine, ( i) the EM modes of the particles, ( ii) the form of constitutive relations ( iii) magneto-optical response of a metamaterial or lack thereof. Based upon these methods, we predict an ideal planar artificial magnetic metamaterial, and determine the subset of point groups of which particles must belong to in order to yield an isotropic 3D magnetic response, and we show an example.

Some characteristics of the model are the capability to incorporate several floc size classes, a physically based settling velocity formula, bed armoring, and sediment availability limitation. Important resuspension parameters were estimated from field and laboratory measurement data. The model reproduced the resuspension plume ( observed by the SeaWIFS satellite and field instruments) and recently measured sedimentation rate distribution ( using radiotracer techniques) fairly well. Model results were verified with field measurements of suspended sediment concentration and settling flux ( by ADCPs and sediment traps). Both wave conditions and sediment bed properties ( critical shear stress, fine sediment fraction, and limited sediment availability or source) are the critical factors that determine the concentration distribution and width of the resuspension plume. The modeled sedimentation pattern shows preferential accumulation of sediment on the eastern side of the lake, which agrees with the observed sedimentation pattern despite a predominance of particle sources from the western shoreline. The main physical mechanisms determining the sedimentation pattern are ( 1) the two counter-rotating circulation gyres producing offshore mass transport along the southeastern coast during northerly wind and ( 2) the settling velocity of sediment flocs which controls the deposition location.

First, a modeled binding mode for inhibitor 2-mercapto-3-phenylpropionyl-RATKML (K-i = 330 nM) was generated, and required the use of a molecular dynamic conformer of the enzyme displaying the reorientation of surface loops bordering the substrate binding cleft. These flexible loops are conformationally variable in x-ray crystal structures, and the model predicted that they were pivotal for providing complementary binding surfaces and solvent shielding for the pseudo-peptide. The docked conformation of 2-mercapto-3-phenylpropionyl-RATKML was then used to refine our pharmacophore for botulinum serotype A light chain inhibition. Data base search queries derived from the pharmacophore were employed to mine small molecule (non-peptidic) inhibitors from the National Cancer Institute's Open Repository. Four of the inhibitors possess K, values ranging from 3.0 to 10.0 mu m. Of these, NSC 240898 is a promising lead for therapeutic development, as it readily enters neurons, exhibits no neuronal toxicity, and elicits dose-dependent protection of synaptosomal-associated protein (of 25 kDa) in a primary culture of embryonic chicken neurons. Isothermal titration calorimetry showed that the interaction between NSC 240898 and the botulinum A light chain is largely entropy-driven, and occurs with a 1:1 stoichiometry and a dissociation constant of 4.6 mu M.

Sooner or later, a flow instability termed viscous fingering (VF) develops. This phenomenon is important in chromatography because the solute plug does not have the same viscosity as the mobile phase. Because the sample is often much more viscous than the mobile phase, it is the interface at the rear of the sample band that is usually unstable. This situation is frequent in many modes of chromatography, e.g., in preparative and in multidimensional chromatography, in size exclusion chromatography, in frontal analysis. and in other physicochemical measurements (e.g., determination of adsorption isotherms and of mass transfer parameters). When the solute plug is more viscous than the mobile phase, we observed that the solute band compressed. When the viscosity contrast increased up to 0.30 cP, fingers appeared to trail behind the solute plug. The development of fingers then became more substantial as the viscosity contrast increased. To avoid effects associated with VF, the mobile phase and the solute plug should have nearly the same viscosity. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

TI Field-driven phase transitions in a quasi-two-dimensional quantum antiferromagnet SO NEW JOURNAL OF PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID BOSE-EINSTEIN CONDENSATION; SINGLET GROUND-STATE; MAGNETIC-FIELD; HEISENBERG-MODEL; SPIN-GAP; NEUTRON-SCATTERING; CRITICAL-BEHAVIOR; LINEAR-CHAIN; TLCUCL3; SYSTEMS AB We report magnetic susceptibility, specific heat, and neutron scattering measurements as a function of applied magnetic field and temperature to characterize the S = 1/2 quasi-two-dimensional (2D) frustrated magnet piperazinium hexachlorodicuprate (PHCC). The experiments reveal four distinct phases. At low temperatures and fields the material forms a quantum paramagnet with a 1 meV singlet triplet gap and a magnon bandwidth of 1.7 meV. The singlet state involves multiple spin pairs some of which have negative ground state bond energies. Increasing the field at low temperatures induces 3D long-range antiferromagnetic order at 7.5 Tesla through a continuous phase transition that can be described as magnon Bose-Einstein condensation. The phase transition to a fully polarized ferromagnetic state occurs at 37 Tesla. The ordered antiferromagnetic phase is surrounded by a renormalized classical region. The crossover to this phase from the quantum paramagnet is marked by a distinct anomaly in the magnetic susceptibility which coincides with closure of the finite temperature singlet-triplet pseudo gap. The phase boundary between the quantum paramagnet and the Bose-Einstein condensate features a finite temperature minimum at T = 0.2 K, which may be associated with coupling to nuclear spin or lattice degrees of freedom close to quantum criticality.

CA CDF Collaboration TI Search for V plus A current in top-quark decays in p(p)over-bar collisions root s=1.96 TeV SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article ID PHYSICS AB We report an upper limit on the fraction of V+A current, f(V+A), in top-quark decays, using approximately 700 pb(-1) of p (p) over bar collisions at root s=1.96 TeV acquired by the upgraded Collider Detector at Fermilab. For the decay t -> Wb ->center dot nu b (where center dot=e or mu), the invariant mass of the charged lepton and the bottom quark jet is sensitive to the polarization of the W boson. We determine f(V+A)=-0.06 +/- 0.25 given a top-quark mass of 175 GeV/c(2). We set an upper limit on f(V+A) of 0.29 at the 95% confidence level, an improvement by a factor of 2 on the previous best direct limit. C1 Univ Illinois, Urbana, IL 61801 USA.

TI Observation of fractional Stokes-Einstein behavior in the simplest hydrogen-bonded liquid SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article ID MOLECULAR-DYNAMICS SIMULATION; GLASS-TRANSITION; NEUTRON-SCATTERING; FLUORIDE; HF; RESOLUTION AB Quasielastic neutron scattering has been used to investigate the single-particle dynamics of hydrogen fluoride across its entire liquid range at ambient pressure. For T > 230 K, translational diffusion obeys the celebrated Stokes-Einstein relation, in agreement with nuclear magnetic resonance studies. At lower temperatures, we find significant deviations from the above behavior in the form of a power law with exponent xi=-0.71 +/- 0.05. More striking than the above is a complete breakdown of the Debye-Stokes-Einstein relation for rotational diffusion. Our findings provide the first experimental verification of fractional Stokes-Einstein behavior in a hydrogen-bonded liquid, in agreement with recent computer simulations [S. R. Becker , Phys. Rev.

TI Precision atomic spectroscopy for improved limits on variation of the fine structure constant and local position invariance SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article ID FUNDAMENTAL CONSTANTS; FREQUENCY MEASUREMENTS; TIME-VARIATION; LASER; HG-199(+); NIST-F1 AB We report tests of local position invariance and the variation of fundamental constants from measurements of the frequency ratio of the 282-nm Hg-199(+) optical clock transition to the ground state hyperfine splitting in Cs-133. Analysis of the frequency ratio of the two clocks, extending over 6 yr at NIST, is used to place a limit on its fractional variation of < 5.8x10(-6) per change in normalized solar gravitational potential. The same frequency ratio is also used to obtain 20-fold improvement over previous limits on the fractional variation of the fine structure constant of vertical bar alpha/alpha vertical bar < 1.3x10(-16) yr(-1), assuming invariance of other fundamental constants. Comparisons of our results with those previously reported for the absolute optical frequency measurements in H and Yb-171(+) vs other Cs-133 standards yield a coupled constraint of -1.5x10(-15)
