Madhavan, Raj BE Nedjah, N DosSantosCoelho, N DeMacedoMourelle, L TI Collaborative Robots for Infrastructure Security Applications SO MOBILE ROBOTS: THE EVOLUTIONARY APPROACH SE Studies in Computational Intelligence LA English DT Article; Book Chapter AB We discuss techniques towards using collaborative robots for infrastructure security applications. A vast number of critical facilities, including power plants, military bases, water plants, air fields, and so forth, must be protected against unauthorized intruders. A team of mobile robots working cooperatively can alleviate human resources and improve effectiveness from human fatigue and boredom. This chapter addresses this scenario by first presenting distributed sensing algorithms for robot localization and 3D map building. We then describe a multi-robot motion planning algorithm according to a patrolling and threat response scenario. Neural network based methods are used for planning a complete coverage patrolling path. A block diagram of the system integration of sensing and planning is presented towards a successful proof of principle demonstration. Previous approaches to similar scenarios have been greatly limited by their reliance on global positioning systems, the need for the manual construction of facility maps, and the need for humans to plan and specify the individual robot paths for the mission. The proposed approaches overcome these limits and enable the systems to be deployed autonomously without modi. cations to the operating environment.

It is based on the Taylor dislocation model and is an extension of Qu et al's (2006 Int. J. Plast. 22 1265-86) micro-indentation model for spherical indenters to nano-indentation. For relatively large indenters (e.g. radii on the order of 100 mu m), the present model degenerates to Qu et al (2006 Int. J. Plast. 22 1265-86). For small indenters (e.g. radii on the order of 10 mu m), the maximum allowable geometrically necessary dislocation (GND) density is introduced to cap the GND density such that the latter does not become unrealistically high for small indenters. The present nano-indentation model agrees well with the indentation hardness data of iridium for both nano- and micro-indentation. C1 Univ Illinois, Dept Engn Sci & Mech, Urbana, IL 61801 USA.

Advances in vaccine development and drug discovery are urgently needed to control these diseases and can be facilitated by production of purified recombinant proteins from Apicomplexan genomes and determination of their 3D structures. To date, both heterologous expression and crystallization of Apicomplexan proteins have seen only limited success. In an effort to explore the effectiveness of producing and crystallizing proteins on a genome-scale using a standardized methodology, over 400 distinct Plasmodium falciparum target genes were chosen representing different cellular classes, along with select orthologues from four other Plasmodium species as well as Cryptosporidium parvum and Toxoplasma gondii. From a total of 1008 genes from the seven genomes, 304 (30.2%) produced purified soluble proteins and 97 (9.6%) crystallized, culminating in 36 crystal structures. These results demonstrate that, contrary to previous findings, a standardized platform using Escherichia coli can be effective for genome-scale production and crystallography of Apicomplexan proteins. Predictably, orthologous proteins from different Apicomplexan genomes behaved differently in expression, purification and crystallization, although the overall success rates of Plasmodium orthologues do not differ significantly. Their differences were effectively exploited to elevate the overall productivity to levels comparable to the most successful ongoing structural genomics projects: 229 of the 468 target genes produced purified soluble protein from one or more organisms, with 80 and 32 of the purified targets, respectively, leading to crystals and ultimately structures from one or more orthologues.

It was originally identified as an oncoprotein based on its ability to induce anchorage-independent growth in chicken embryo fibroblasts. However, the roles of SnoN in mammalian epithelial carcinogenesis have not been well defined. Here we show for the first time that SnoN plays an important but complex role in human cancer. SnoN expression is highly elevated in many human cancer cell lines, and this high level of SnoN promotes mitogenic transformation of breast and lung cancer cell lines in vitro and tumor growth in vivo, consistent with its proposed prooncogenic role. However, this high level of SnoN expression also inhibits epithelial-to-mesenchymal transdifferentiation. Breast and lung cancer cells expressing the shRNA for SnoN exhibited an increase in cell motility, actin stress fiber formation, metalloprotease activity, and extracellular matrix production as well as a reduction in adherens junction proteins. Supporting this observation, in an in vivo breast cancer metastasis model, reducing SnoN expression was found to moderately enhance metastasis of human breast cancer cells to bone and lung. Thus, SnoN plays both protumorigenic and antitumorigenic roles at different stages of mammalian malignant progression. The growth-promoting activity of SnoN appears to require its ability to bind to and repress the Smad proteins, while the antitumorigenic activity can be mediated by both Smad-dependent and Smad-independent pathways and requires the activity of small GTPase RhoA. Our study has established the importance of SnoN in mammalian epithelial carcinogenesis and revealed a novel aspect of SnoN function in malignant progression.

Ion channels have been one of the principal protein targets of photoswitched manipulation. In combination with fluorescence detection of cell signaling, this has enabled non-invasive, all-optical experiments on cell and tissue function, both in vitro and in vivo. Optical manipulation of channels has also provided insights into the mechanism of channel function. Optical control elements can be classified according to their molecular reversibility as non-reversible phototriggers where light breaks a chemical bond ( e. g. caged ligands) and as photoswitches that reversibly photoisomerize. Synthetic photoswitches constitute nanoscale actuators that can alter channel function using three different strategies. These include ( 1) nanotoggles, which are tethered photoswitchable ligands that either activate channels (agonists) or inhibit them (blockers or antagonists), ( 2) nanokeys, which are untethered ( freely diffusing) photoswitchable ligands, and ( 3) nanotweezers, which are photoswitchable crosslinkers. The properties of such photoswitches are discussed here, with a focus on tethered photoswitchable ligands. The recent literature on optical manipulation of ion channels is reviewed for the different channel families, with special emphasis on the understanding of ligand binding and gating processes, applications in nanobiotechnology, and with attention to future prospects in the field.

We have shown that the two lowest-energy transitions of this symmetry exhibit very strong hypochromism-only 22% of the molecular oscillator strength is retained in the crystal spectrum. Polarized transmittance spectra of thin (similar to 0.1 mu) carbazole monocrystals were obtained in the near LW region at normal and oblique incidence of light on the sample. An expression for transmittance as a function of oscillator strengths of the B-2 (B-2u) symmetry electronic transitions in the crystal, and of the angle of incidence of light on the ac face of the crystal, was derived. The experimental oscillator strengths were obtained by fitting the measured transmittance spectra with the derived function. Local field theory was employed to calculate the theoretical values of the oscillator strengths of five individual electronic transitions in the carbazole crystal. The calculations are in agreement with the oscillator strengths sum rule. The theoretically predicted and experimentally obtained values of oscillator strengths of the two lowest B-2 (B-2u) symmetry transitions in the carbazole crystal are in very good agreement.

AQPs primarily function as water- conducting channels, whereas members of a sub- class of AQPs, termed aquaglyceroporins, are permeable to small neutral solutes such as glycerol. While AQPs facilitate transmembrane permeation of water and/ or small neutral solutes, they preclude the conduction of protons. Consequently, openings of AQP channels allow rapid water diffusion down an osmotic gradient without dissipating electrochemical potentials. Molecular structures of AQPs portray unique features that define the two central functions of AQP channels: effective water permeation and strict proton exclusion. This review describes AQP structures known to date and discusses the mechanisms underlying water permeation, proton exclusion and water permeability regulation.

This paper describes three examples: (i) non-equilibrium electron transport through molecular junctions, as a stepping stone for the design of molecular-scale devices and for integration of biomolecules with Si technology; (ii) polarization and piezoelectric properties of PVDF and related polymers; and (iii) the many-body optical spectrum of water. For the molecular junction, our results provide a qualitative picture and quantitative understanding of the mechanism leading to negative differential resistance for a large class of small molecules. For ferroelectric polymers, the calculations show that their polarization is described by cooperative, quantum-mechanical interactions between polymer chains. Nevertheless, the ab initio results lead to a simple parameterization of polarization as a function of copolymer concentration. Finally, our calculations explain the well-known redshift in the fundamental absorption of water as due to exciton delocalization upon aggregation.

The original potentials were developed based on BDT-1, 2 Au complexes (Leng et al., J. Chem. Phys. 122(24), 244721 (2005)). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations are employed to calibrate the bond-stretching behaviour between BDT and gold atoms. It has been found that, to some extent, the shape of bonding curves depends on the gold cluster geometry and size. This is particularly obvious for the on-top bonding case. However this effect does not alter molecular packing structure on Au (111) surface and has only a minor effect on local bonding geometry. The Mulliken charge distribution at the bonding interface (i.e. among bonded atoms) also does not show any impact on the global packing structure. The pure chemical bonding, which was derived from the total DFT energy subtracting the non-bonded terms, dominates the local bonding behaviour between BDT molecules and Au clusters.

Molecular dipole moments were computed using maximally localized Wannier functions with the Berry phase scheme, while the structure was analysed with respect to tetrahedral order parameter and hydrogen bonding. Increasing the temperature results in a decrease of both the average molecular dipole moment and the local structure, although the width of the dipole distribution remains fairly constant. A correlation is found between the extent of the local structure and the magnitude of the molecular dipole moment, but this correlation is limited to the first solvation shell.

The effect of the internal energy of the radicals on the fragmentation dynamics of the parent photoion is first discussed for the general case, and then for the specific C3H5 radicals. The results are relevant to an increasing number of studies in which single-photon vuv photoionization is used as a 'soft' ionization method for radicals produced in photodissociation and reactive scattering experiments, as well as in reactive environments such as flames and plasmas.

TI High resolution infrared study of the 2v(9) and v(4) bands of (BF2OH)-B-10 and (BF2OH)-B-11: evidence of large amplitude effects for the OH-torsion and OH-bending modes in the 9(2) and 4(1) excited states SO MOLECULAR PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID NITRIC-ACID; WATER DIMER; ROTATIONAL SPECTRUM; VIBRATIONAL-STATES; LINE POSITIONS; HNO3; MICROWAVE; SPECTROSCOPY; INTENSITIES; MILLIMETER AB High resolution (2-3 x 10(-3) cm(-1)) Fourier transform infrared spectra of gas phase B-10 and B-11 enriched and natural samples of BF2OH (difluoroboric acid) were recorded at Wuppertal and Richland. Starting from the results of previous studies, it was possible to perform the first rovibrational analysis of the 2v(9) (first overtone of v(9), the OH torsion) and v(4) (BOH bending) bands located at about 1043.9 and 961.7 cm(-1) and 1042.9 and 961.5 cm(-1) for the (BF2OH)-B-10 and (BF2OH)-B-11 isotopic species, respectively. Numerous ' classical' perturbations were observed in the analysis of the 2v(9) and v(4) bands. The energy levels of the 9(2) bright state are indeed involved in a B-type Coriolis resonance with those of the 6(1)9(1) dark state. The 4(1) levels are perturbed by a B-type Coriolis resonance and by an anharmonic resonance with the levels of the 7(1)9(1) and the 6(1)7(1) dark states, respectively. In addition large amplitude effects were observed for the 2 v (9) and also, more surprisingly, the v(4) bands. This results in splittings of the energy levels of about 0.005 and 0.0035 cm(-1) for the 9(2) and 4(1) states, respectively, which are easily observable in the P and R branches for both bands. The theoretical model used to reproduce the experimental levels accounts for the classical vibration-rotation resonances. Also the large amplitude torsional (or bending) effects are accounted for within the frame of the IAM (Internal Axis Method)-like approach. The Coriolis resonances between the two torsional (or bending) substates are taken into account by {J(x), J(z)} non orthorhombic terms in the v-diagonal blocks. This means that the z-quantification axis deviates from the a inertial axis by an axis switching effect of similar to 35 degrees for the {9(2), 6(1) 9(1)} system and of similar to 16.6 degrees for the {4(1), 7(1) 9(1), 6(1)7(1)} system of interacting vibrational states. The calculation of the relative line intensities for the 2v (9) and v(4) bands accounts for these axis switching effects as well as for the intensity alternation which is due to the nuclear spin statistical weights since the OH large amplitude torsion and/ or bending motion results indeed in an exchange of the two fluorine nuclei.

Specifically, to approximate 6-31G* and 6-31+G* calculations, a minimal 6-4G basis is constructed from 6-31G exponents. The self-consistent field calculation is performed in this minimal basis, followed by a single diagonalization step in the target basis. Statistical errors in atomization energies, molecular structures, and harmonic frequencies approach those of the target basis for HF, B3LYP and EDF1, and are far superior to calculations that do not include polarization functions. Speedups of approximately 5-10 are obtained for the energy, with speedups of 2-3 for the gradient, using existing algorithms, with significant potential for future improvements.

Some of these solution methods are inherently inaccurate and are never recommended, others have some efficiency or accuracy advantages that may be exploited in different situations. Two of these ways, linear least squares with substitution and elimination, and linear least squares with equality constraint, have the potential to produce solutions that are significantly more accurate than the traditional normal equation solutions. The choice of the most accurate solution approach for a given problem depends on various vector and matrix norm relations which are discussed. The advantage of one of these methods is demonstrated on a model problem, which has a closed-form solution. A simple geometrical interpretation is given for the DIIS method that involves minimization of a function value within a particular multidimensional plane.

TI Similarity of electroosmotic flows in nanochannels SO MOLECULAR SIMULATION LA English DT Article DE electroosmotic flow; molecular dynamics; similarity; embedding method ID MOLECULAR-DYNAMICS SIMULATION; TRANSPORT; DEVICES; SOLIDS; IONS AB This paper investigates the similarity of electroosmotic flows in nanochannels numerically using the NEMD method and therefore analyzes the applicability of the embedding technique. The results indicate that the near-wall ion distribution is greatly influenced by the wall charge density, the ion arrangement and the interaction between ions and walls. If all these factors are same, the electroosmotic flows in different channel sizes are of similarity, which is to say that the ion distributions close to walls are same and the velocities across the channel are similar. The embedding method is available once the similarity holds. One can predict the ion distributions and fluid flow in larger channels using the continuum equations by introducing MD results of near-wall effective potential or transport coefficients of smaller channels. The results also suggest the similarity is preferred to the channel size larger than 10 times diameter of fluid molecules. C1 Johns Hopkins Univ, Dept Mech Engn, Baltimore, MD 21218 USA.

In this work, the role of Ti dopants, the importance of NaH nanoclusters and role of the solvent (THF) and cocatalyst (titanocene) are investigated using density functional theory techniques. A plausible mechanism is proposed to explain the origin of the selective catalytic activity. A step-by-step reaction pathway starting with hydrogen chemisorption near the titanium atoms on the NaH nanoparticle surface followed by the reaction of the activated hydrogen with terminal alkenes via a five-membered ring intermediate are discussed.

TI Molecular dynamics simulation of inorganic ions in PEO aqueous solution SO MOLECULAR SIMULATION LA English DT Article DE Li; PEO; water; simulations; polarizability AB Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs), especially the ones dissolving lithium ions in poly ethylene oxide (PEO) polymer by the bonds between ether oxygen and cations, have long been investigated with the goals of developing batteries with high energy density. It has been accepted that most ions move through the amorphous polymer phase and their mobility depends crucially on the solution environment, though the detailed transport mechanism is not fully developed. Recently, ternary mixtures composed of PEO/salts in aqueous solution have been shown to display more attractive properties than binary SPE mixtures. Numerous experiments have found a dramatically changed environment for the cations and increased ionic conductivity of polymer/salts electrolytes for increased relative humidity, suggesting that the coupling between polymer chains and cations may be weakened due to the existence of water molecules. In this paper we report molecular dynamics ( MD) simulation, using an optimized force field that includes polarizabilities via the dynamic shell model, to study the structural properties of inorganic ions in PEO aqueous solution and the competitive solvation of ions between water and polymer oxygen. Our simulation results show that ions are solvated more favorably by water than by polymer. This conclusion is in a good agreement with neutron diffraction by isotropic substitution (NDIS) experiments. C1 Vanderbilt Univ, Dept Chem Engn, Nashville, TN 37235 USA.

We further estimate the burst development using a simple one-zone model with a full reaction network. We report a region of mass accretion rates for weak H flashes. Such flashes can lead to a large reservoir of He, the unstable burning of which may explain some observed long bursts (duration similar to 1000s). C1 [Peng, Fang] CALTECH, Pasadena, CA 91125 USA.

However, we have recently discovered that these PDS are false positives resulting from the improper manipulation of non-simultaneous liglitcurves. The lightcurves produced by the XMM-Newton Science Analysis Software (SAS) are non-synchronised by default. This affects not only the combination of lightcurves from the three EPIC detectors (MOS1, MOS2 and pn), but also background subtraction in the same CCD. It is therefore imperative that all SAS-generated lightcurves are synchronised by time filtering, even if the whole observation is to be used. We combined simulated lightcurves at various intensities with various offsets and found that the artefact is more dependent on the offset than the intensity. While previous timing results from M31 have been proven wrong, and also the broken power law PDS in NGC 4559 ULX-7, XMM-Newton was able to detect aperiodic variability in just 3 ks of observations of NGC 5408 ULX1. Hence XMM-Newton remains a viable tool for analysing variability in extra-galactic X-ray sources. C1 [Barnard, R.; Haswell, C. A.; Kolb, U.

This unwanted background is generated by the electronic response of the sample. It not only obscures the desired signal but also results in spectral interference with the desired vibrationally resonant CARS signal, making it difficult to assign vibrational peaks using characteristic spontaneous Raman spectra. We show that the non-resonant background can be used as a local oscillator for spectral interferometric CARS spectroscopy. Two different techniques are discussed to extract the vibrationally resonant multiplex CARS spectrum and discriminate it against the much larger non-resonant background. The pump, Stokes and probe pulses are all selected inside a single broadband ultrafast pulse (bandwidth similar to 1800 cm(-1)) by a phase- and/or polarization-controlled pulse-shaping technique. The first technique generates two spectral interference CARS signals simultaneously, and the normalized difference of these two signals provides an amplified background-free broadband resonant CARS spectrum over 400-1500 cm(-1). The second method generates a single spectral interference CARS signal by a phase-only pulse shaping. A Fourier transform spectral interferometry (FTSI) method is used to retrieve the Raman-equivalent CARS spectrum from the measured spectral signal. Both methods enhance the resonant CARS signal by utilizing the non-resonant background as a local oscillator for homodyne mixing.

Such algorithms allow ensemble methods to operate on very large data sets or use very slow learning algorithms. Boosting Lite is compared with Ivoting, standard boosting, and building a single classifier. Comparisons are done on 11 data sets to which other approaches have been applied. We find that ensembles of support vector machines can attain higher accuracy with less data than ensembles of decision trees. We find that Ivoting may result in higher accuracy ensembles on some data sets, however Boosting Lite is generally able to indicate when boosting will increase overall accuracy.

It has been written for the layperson, in terms that do not require a strong scientific background. It has been written to facilitate scientists' communication with the public and funding agencies about multiple stressors. This article briefly explains several major classes of contaminants whose global dispersal and long-term persistence in the environment might cause them to contribute to multiple stressors. Highlighted is our lack of understanding about the potential interactions among multiple stressors and the need for much additional research. Interactions are explained through a simple example of various plausible responses that an organism might exhibit when exposed to both cadmium and radiation. Our current approach for determining human and ecological risks from contaminants is explained such that the reader is aware of why multiple stressor research is needed. This article stresses the need for a coordinated, multinational, multidisciplinary research plan for multiple stressors.

From the neutron-diffraction measurements, compressive lattice strains and higher dislocation densities at the macroscale were observed in front of the crack tip, which indicates a plasticity induced crack-closure phenomenon. Furthermore, Laue patterns obtained from the microbeam, diffraction at different locations near the crack tip show alternating regions with high and low dislocation densities at the mesoscale.

Under particular conditions on the density of the modes and the length of the memory kernel, optimal prediction introduces an additional term to the Fourier-Galerkin approximation which represents the influence of an arbitrary number of small wavelength unresolved modes on the long wavelength resolved modes. The modified system, called the t-model by previous authors, takes the form of a time-dependent cubic term added to the original quadratic system. Numerical experiments show that this additional term restores qualitative features of the solution in the case where the number of modes is insufficient to resolve the resulting shocks (i.e., zero or very small viscosity) and for which the original Fourier-Galerkin approximation is very poor. In particular, numerical examples are shown in which the kinetic energy decays in the same manner as in the exact solution, i.e., as t(-2) when t(shock) less than or similar to t less than or similar to Re, even when a very small number of resolved modes is used. Correlation-like quantities related to the memory kernel are then computed, and these exhibit a t(-3) tail for the same time period.

We first decompose the log hydraulic conductivity Y=ln K-s for each zone by the KL decomposition, which is related to a set of eigenvalues and their corresponding orthogonal deterministic eigenfunctions. Based on the decomposition for all individual zones, we develop an algorithm to find the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions for the entire domain. Following the methodology proposed by Zhang and Lu [J. Comput. Phys., 194 (2004), pp. 773-794], we solve the head variability up to second order in terms of sigma(2)(Y) and compare the results with those obtained from Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. It is evident that the results from the KLME approach with higher-order corrections are close to those from the MC simulations, but the computational cost for the KLME method is much lower than that for the MC simulations.

H. Hald and P. Stinis, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 104 ( 2007), pp. 6527-6532], an infinitely long memory model ( the t-model) for the Euler equations was presented and analyzed. The model can be derived by keeping the zeroth order term in a Taylor expansion of the memory integrand in the Mori-Zwanzig formalism. We present here a collection of models for the Euler equations which are based also on the Mori-Zwanzig formalism. The models arise from a Taylor expansion of a different operator, the orthogonal dynamics evolution operator, which appears in the memory integrand. The zero, first, and second order models are constructed and simulated numerically. The form of the nonlinearity in the Euler equations, the special properties of the projection operator used, and the general properties of any projection operator can be exploited to facilitate the recursive calculation of even higher order models. We use our models to compute the rate of energy decay for the Taylor-Green vortex problem. The results are in good agreement with the theoretical estimates. The energy decay appears to be organized in "waves" of activity, i.e., alternating periods of fast and slow decay. Our results corroborate the assumption in [O. H. Hald and P. Stinis, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 104 (2007), pp. 6527-6532], that the modeling of the three-dimensional Euler equations by a few low wavenumber modes should include a long memory.

Although virtually all scholars recognize that myth was of critical importance for traditional cultures, the attempt to elicit scientific reasons for this importance has led to many competing theories, few of which place an emphasis on the validity of myths as representing the product of actual observed historical natural events. This paradox may hinder our understanding of the origins of myth and prevent us from fully appreciating a critical aspect of why myth was so highly valued by past cultures. To set the stage for our examination of the possible natural history core of myth, we discuss briefly the history of the western scientific study of myth, with an emphasis on geological sciences. We then explore the cognitive structure of myth and provide working principles about how the historical information contained in these myths can be transmitted faithfully through successive generations and can be elicited by scientific study. Although recognizing the extreme complexity of myth as a cultural product, our data indicate that a science-based natural history approach can lead to important insights regarding the nature of myth.

Cosmogonic myths represent a rich and largely untapped data set concerning the most dramatic natural events and processes experienced by cultural groups during the past several thousand years. Observational details regarding specific catastrophes are encoded in myth storylines, typically cast in terms of supernatural characters and actions. Not only are the myths amenable to scientific analysis, some sets of myths encode multiple catastrophes in meaningful relative chronological order. The present study considers 4259 myths, including 284 'universal' (perceived in the narratives to be worldwide) catastrophe myths, from 20 cultural groups east of the Andes. These myths are examined in light of available geological, palaeoenvironmental, archaeological, and documentary evidence. Our analysis reveals three likely major Plinian volcanic eruptions in Columbia and the Gran Chaco. We also identify a set of traditions that are probably linked to the well-known Campo del Cielo iron meteorite impact in northern Argentina around 4000 years ago, along with a separate set of traditions alluding to a possible airburst in the Brazilian Highlands. These impacts apparantly triggered widespread mass fires. There are hints of cosmic impacts in the mythologies for other locations in South America.

The morphology of the NT arrays, which were prepared from electrochemically anodized Ti foils, were characterized by scanning and transmission electron microscopies. The arrays were found to consist of closely packed NTs, several micrometers in length, with typical wall thicknesses and intertube spacings of 8-10 nm and pore diameters of about 30 nm. The calcined material was fully crystalline with individual NTs consisting of about 30 nm sized crystallites. The transport and recombination properties of the NT and nanoparticle (NP) films used in DSSCs were studied by frequency-resolved modulated photocurrent/photovoltage spectroscopies. While both morphologies display comparable transport times, recombination was much slower in the NT films, indicating that the NT-based DSSCs have significantly higher charge-collection efficiencies than their NP-based counterparts. Dye molecules were shown to cover both the interior and exterior walls of the NTs. Analysis of photocurrent measurements indicates that the light-harvesting efficiencies of NT-based DSSCs were higher than those found for DSSCs incorporating NPs owing to stronger internal light-scattering effects.

TI Excitons and peierls distortion in conjugated carbon nanotubes SO NANO LETTERS LA English DT Article ID MOLECULES; DYNAMICS; PHONONS; SPECTRA AB We investigate coupled excitonic and vibrational effects in carbon nanotubes using a time-dependent Hartree-Fock approach. The results reveal intricate details of excited-state dynamics. In the ground state, spontaneous uneven distribution of the pi electrons over the bonds (i.e., Peierls dimerization) is observed throughout the entire nanotube, particularly in large-radius CNTs. However, we demonstrate that vibrational relaxation following photoexcitations leads to substantial local distortion of the tube surface, overriding the Peierls dimerization. This mutually affects the electronic system, resulting in localized states (self-trapped excitons). These phenomena critically control photoinduced dynamics and charge transport in nanotube materials. C1 Los Alamos Natl Lab, CNLS, Theoret Div, Los Alamos, NM 87545 USA.

TI Effect of quantum and dielectric confinement on the exciton-exciton interaction energy in type II core/shell semiconductor nanocrystals SO NANO LETTERS LA English DT Article ID SHELL NANOCRYSTALS; OPTICAL GAIN; DOTS; STATES AB We study theoretically two electron-hole pair states (biexcitons) in core/shell hetero-nanocrystals with type II alignment of energy states, which promotes spatial separation of electrons and holes. To describe Coulomb interactions in these structures, we apply first-order perturbation theory, in which we use an explicit form of the Coulomb-coupling operator that takes into account interface-polarization effects. This formalism is used to analyze the exciton-exciton interaction energy as a function of the core and shell sizes and their dielectric properties. Our analysis shows that the combined contributions from quantum and dielectric confinement can result in strong exciton-exciton repulsion with giant interaction energies on the order of 100 meV. Potential applications of strongly interacting biexciton states include such areas as lasing, nonlinear optics, and quantum information.

The DNA is represented by a bead-rod polymer model and is fully-coupled to the fluid. The main objective in this work is to properly model polymer-polymer and polymersurface interactions by enforcing the physical rod-rod and rod-surface non-crossing constraints. Our new method is based on a rigid constraint algorithm whereby rods elastically bounce off one another to prevent crossing, similar to our previous algorithm used to model polymer-surface interactions.

A DNA molecule is a polymer that typically contains four different types of nucleotide bases: adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C) on its phosphate-deoxyribose chain. According to the nanoelectrode-gated molecular-detection concept, it should be possible to obtain genetic sequence information by probing through a DNA molecule base by base at a nanometer scale, as if looking at a strip of movie film. The nanoscale reading of DNA sequences is envisioned to take place at a nanogap (gate) defined by a pair of nanoelectrode tips as a DNA molecule moves through the gate base by base. The rationale is that sample molecules, such as the four different nucleotide bases, each with a distinct chemical composition and structure, should produce a specific perturbation effect on the tunneling electron beam across the two nanoelectrode tips. A sample molecule could thus be detected when it enters the gate. This nanoscience-based approach could lead to a new DNA sequencing technology that could be thousands of times faster than the current technology (Sanger's "dideoxy" protocol-based capillary electrophoresis systems). Both computational and experimental studies are underway at ORNL towards demonstrating this nanotechnology concept. C1 Oak Ridge Natl Lab, Div Chem Sci, Oak Ridge, TN 37831 USA.

Pressure-driven atomization/nebulization, ultrasonic generation, and electrospraying are common aerosol generation techniques that are currently used. Electrospray produced monodispersed isolated particles, when the original material was reasonably monodisperse, which may be most suited for use in experiments requiring single-size aerosol population. The technique however requires the use of a conductive solution that may not be suitable in biological experiments. Also, in the generation of single walled carbon nanohorns (SWNHs), we found that electrospray produced an anonymous peak that was not consistent with currently known SWNH nanostructures. This adds to an uncertainty about its utility in nanotoxicological experiments. Though producing controllable larger cluster sizes, ultrasonic generation might be a relatively straightforward process for reproducibly generating nanoparticle aggregates for nanotoxicological research. Note that the ultrasonic generation is not to be confused with sonication that is commonly used to homogenize a colloidal suspension. The aerosol population produced by a pressure-driven atomizer was very broad, suitable for experiments requiring a simple, easy means to deliver/disperse colloidal suspensions where size distribution is not a major concern. Advantages and disadvantages of each method are presented in relation to future toxicology experiments.

We investigated the pulmonary toxicity of single-walled carbon nanohorns (SWCNHs), a relatively new carbon-based nanomaterial that is structurally similar to SWCNTs. Mice were exposed to 30 mg of surfactant-suspended SWCNHs or an equal volume of vehicle control by pharyngeal aspiration and sacrificed 24 hours or 7 days post-exposure. Total and differential cell counts and cytokine analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid demonstrated a mild inflammatory response which was mitigated by day 7 post-exposure. Whole lung microarray analysis demonstrated that SWCNH-exposure did not lead to robust changes in gene expression. Finally, histological analysis showed no evidence of granuloma formation or fibrosis following SWCNH aspiration. These combined results suggest that SWCNH is a relatively innocuous nanomaterial when delivered to mice in vivo using aspiration as a delivery mechanism.

The levels of H3K9 dimethylation (H3K9me2) in chromatin associated with repeated DNAs decreased dramatically in Su(var)3-9 and dcr-2 (dicer-2) mutant tissues compared with wild type. We also observed a substantial increase in extrachromosomal circular (ecc) repeated DNAs in mutant tissues. The disorganized nucleolus phenotype depends on the presence of Ligase 4 and ecc DNA formation is not induced by removal of cohesin. We conclude that the structural integrity and organization of repeated DNAs and nucleoli are regulated by the H3K9 methylation and RNAi pathways, and other regulators of heterochromatin-mediated silencing. In addition, repeated DNA stability involves suppression of non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) or other recombination pathways. These results suggest a mechanism for how local chromatin structure can regulate genome stability, and the organization of chromosomal elements and nuclear organelles.

Increased RAS-mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling due to PTPN11 and KRAS mutations causes 50% of cases of Noonan syndrome(2-6). Here, we report that 22 of 129 individuals with Noonan syndrome without PTPN11 or KRAS mutation have missense mutations in SOS1, which encodes a RAS-specific guanine nucleotide exchange factor. SOS1 mutations cluster at codons encoding residues implicated in the maintenance of SOS1 in its autoinhibited form. In addition, ectopic expression of two Noonan syndrome-associated mutants induces enhanced RAS and ERK activation. The phenotype associated with SOS1 defects lies within the Noonan syndrome spectrum but is distinctive, with a high prevalence of ectodermal abnormalities but generally normal development and linear growth. Our findings implicate gain-of-function mutations in a RAS guanine nucleotide exchange factor in disease for the first time and define a new mechanism by which upregulation of the RAS pathway can profoundly change human development.

The remarkable dissimilarity between these two group IV oxides is diminished at higher pressures and temperatures as CO2 transforms to a series of solid phases, from simple molecular to a fully covalent extended-solid V, structurally analogous to SiO2 tridymite. Here, we present the discovery of an extended-solid phase of CO2: a sixfold coordinated stishovite- like phase VI, obtained by isothermal compression of associated CO2-II ( refs 1,2) above 50 GPa at 530-650 K. Together with the previously reported CO2-V ( refs 3-5) and a-carbonia(6), this extended phase indicates a fundamental similarity between CO2 ( a prototypical molecular solid) and SiO2 ( one of Earth's fundamental building blocks). We present a phase diagram with a limited stability domain for molecular CO2-I, and suggest that the conversion to extended-network solids above 40 50 GPa occurs via intermediate phases II ( refs 1,2), III ( refs 7,8) and IV ( refs 9,10). The crystal structure of phase VI suggests strong disorder along the c axis in stishovite- like P4(2)/mnm, with carbon atoms manifesting an average six-fold coordination within the framework of sp(3) hybridization.

TI Polyvalent vaccines for optimal coverage of potential T-cell epitopes in global HIV-1 variants SO NATURE MEDICINE LA English DT Article ID HUMAN-IMMUNODEFICIENCY-VIRUS; RHESUS-MONKEYS; LYMPHOCYTE ESCAPE; VIRAL ESCAPE; TYPE-1; RESPONSES; INFECTION; IMMUNOGENICITY; ENVELOPE; AIDS AB HIV-1/AIDS vaccines must address the extreme diversity of HIV-1. We have designed new polyvalent vaccine antigens comprised of sets of 'mosaic' proteins, assembled from fragments of natural sequences via a computational optimization method. Mosaic proteins resemble natural proteins, and a mosaic set maximizes the coverage of potential T-cell epitopes (peptides of nine amino acids) for a viral population. We found that coverage of viral diversity using mosaics was greatly increased compared to coverage by natural-sequence vaccine candidates, for both variable and conserved proteins; for conserved HIV-1 proteins, global coverage may be feasible. For example, four mosaic proteins perfectly matched 74% of 9-amino-acid potential epitopes in global Gag sequences; 87% of potential epitopes matched at least 8 of 9 positions. In contrast, a single natural Gag protein covered only 37% (9 of 9) and 67% (8 of 9). Mosaics provide diversity coverage comparable to that afforded by thousands of separate peptides, but, because the fragments of natural proteins are compressed into a small number of native-like proteins, they are tractable for vaccines.

Here we describe the development and application of an expression-based method for introducing modified porphyrins. The approach allows efficient incorporation of heme analogs using a widely available bacterial strain and offers an attractive alternative to present reconstitution methods that subject proteins to harsh, denaturing conditions.

Except for very simple communities, the encountered diversity has made fragment assembly and the subsequent analysis a challenging problem. A taxonomic characterization of metagenomic fragments is required for a deeper understanding of shotgun-sequenced microbial communities, but success has mostly been limited to sequences containing phylogenetic marker genes. Here we present PhyloPythia, a composition-based classifier that combines higher-level generic clades from a set of 340 completed genomes with sample-derived population models. Extensive analyses on synthetic and real metagenome data sets showed that PhyloPythia allows the accurate classification of most sequence fragments across all considered taxonomic ranks, even for unknown organisms. The method requires no more than 100 kb of training sequence for the creation of accurate models of sample-specific populations and can assign fragments >= 1 kb with high specificity.

The study of many-body interactions amongst the charge carriers in graphene and related systems such as carbon nanotubes, fullerenes and graphite is of interest owing to their contribution to superconductivity and other exotic ground states in these systems. Here we show, using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, that electron-plasmon coupling plays an unusually strong role in renormalizing the bands around the Dirac crossing energy-analogous to mass renormalization by electron-boson coupling in ordinary metals. Our results show that electron-electron, electron-plasmon and electron-phonon coupling must be considered on an equal footing in attempts to understand the dynamics of quasiparticles in graphene and related systems.

This assay is based on both the bio-barcode amplification method that allows for detecting miniscule amount of targets with attomolar sensitivity and gold nanoparticle-based colorimetric DNA detection method that allows for a simple and straightforward detection of biomolecules of interest (here we detect interleukin-2, an important biomarker (cytokine) for many immunodeficiency-related diseases and cancers). The protocol is composed of the following steps: (i) conjugation of target capture molecules and barcode DNA strands onto silica microparticles, (ii) target capture with probes, (iii) separation and release of barcode DNA strands from the separated probes, (iv) detection of released barcode DNA using DNA-modified gold nanoparticle probes and (v) red-to-blue color change analysis with a graphic software. Actual target detection and quantification steps with premade probes take similar to 3 h (whole protocol including probe preparations takes similar to 3 days).

This process involves two steps. Azido sugars are fed to cells or organisms and integrated by the glycan biosynthetic machinery into various glycoconjugates. The azido sugars are then covalently tagged with imaging probes or epitope tags, either ex vivo or in vivo, using an azide-specific reaction. This protocol details the syntheses of the azido sugars N-azidoacetylmannosamine (ManNAz), N-azidoacetylgalactosamine (GalNAz), N-azidoacetylglucosamine (GlcNAz) and 6-azidofucose (6AzFuc), and the detection reagents phosphine-FLAG and phosphine-FLAG-His(6). Applications to the visualization of cellular glycans and enrichment of glycoproteins for proteomic analysis are described. The synthesis of the azido sugars ( ManNAz, GalNAz, GlcNAz or 6AzFuc) or detection reagents (phosphine-FLAG or phosphine-FLAG-His(6)) can be completed in approximately 1 week. A cell metabolic labeling experiment can be completed in approximately 4 d. C1 [Laughlin, Scott T.; Bertozzi, Carolyn R.] Univ Calif Berkeley, Dept Chem, Berkeley, CA 94720 USA.

Structural insights coupled with biochemical studies have revealed that the IRES substitutes for the activities of translation-initiation factors by binding and inducing conformational changes in the 40S ribosomal subunit. Direct interactions of the IRES with initiation factor elF3 are also crucial for efficient translation initiation, providing clues to the role of elF3 in protein synthesis.

ESREQM estimates sending rates of flows through a history discounting process that allows it to guarantee max-min fairness by automatically adapting parameters. It can also be used to punish non-responsive flows. The per-flow state is limited to a single value per flow, which allows the flow memory to be in SRAM, thereby making packet processing scalable with link speeds. ESREQM results in good link utilization with low buffer size requirements because it provably desynchronizes TCP flows as a by-product. We show our results through a mixture of analysis and simulation. Our scheme does not make assumptions on what transport protocols are used.

The NuTeV measurement of the difference between the strange and antistrange quark distributions from dimuon events utilizes the first complete NLO QCD description of the process. Dimuon events, resulting from the semi-muonic decay of charmed particles produced in charged current neutrino interactions, allow direct study of the strange quark content of the nucleon. NuTeV's sign selected beam produced uniquely pure samples of neutrino and antineutrino initiated dimuon events, allowing independent measurement of the strange and antistrange quark distributions.

One application to benefit from these attributes is the revolute joint robot. Engineers at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) are investigating the use of this type of robot for the positioning of an x-ray detector; understanding the properties of the robot components is crucial to modeling positioner behavior. The robot bearing elements had been investigated previously, leaving the transmission as the missing component. While the benefits of HDTs are well known, the disadvantages, including fluctuating dissipation characteristics and nonlinear stiffness, are not understood as well. These characteristics can contribute uncontrolled dynamics to the overall robot performance. A dynamometer has been constructed at the APS to experimentally measure the HDT's response. Empirical torque and position data were recorded for multiple transmission load cases and input conditions. In turn, a computer model of the dynamometer HDT system was constructed to approximate the observed response.

Although these two concepts are based on substantially different principles, they both rely on the fabrication of nanoscale devices using state of the art technologies. The first method, which has been recently invented at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), is based on a systematic nanoelectrode-gated tip-to-tip electron-tunneling molecular-detection concept. According to this concept, it should be possible to obtain genetic sequence information by probing through a DNA molecule base by base at a nanometer scale, as if looking at a strip of movie film. The nanoscale reading of DNA sequences is envisioned to take place at a nanogap (gate) defined by a pair of nanoelectrode tips as a DNA molecule moves through the gate base by base. The rationale is that sample molecules, such as the four different nucleotide bases, each with a distinct chemical composition and structure, should produce a specific perturbation effect on the tunneling electron beam across the two nanoelectrode tips. A sample molecular structure (base) could thus be detected when it enters the gate. This approach could lead to a single-molecule DNA sequencing technology that does not require the PCR amplification process and could, at least, be thousands of times faster than the current technology (Sanger's "dideoxy" protocol-based capillary electrophoresis systems). Theoretically, this new approach has the potential to perform DNA sequencing at a maximal rate of about 1,000,000 bases (similar to 1 Mb) per second per detection gate. This method can be paralleled using parallel arrays of multiple nanoelectrode-detection gates, thus magnifying the readout throughput by additional orders of magnitudes, achieving estimated maximal rates of possibly hundred millions bases (100 Mb) per second per device. The second method, developed at Harvard in collaboration with LingVitae AS, is based on the conversion of the natural DNA to another form of DNA in which each nucleotide is substituted with a group of 16 nucleotides (each base type is substituted with a unique sequence of 16 bases). Then fluorescently tagged oligonucleotides 16-mers, matching that of the converted DNA, are hybridized to the DNA and the molecule is electrophoretically fed through a nanoscale pore fabricated in thin solid-state film. The pore is used to sequentially remove the hybridized oligonucleotides, one by one, while the flashes of light in different colors arising from the attached fluorophores are detected. Moreover, according to the invention made by the Harvard group, the fluorophores attached to the 16-mer oligonucleotides are designed to be quenched until they reach the face of the nanopore, thus eliminating the undesired background fluorescence. This method is highly suitable for massive paralleled readout using high-density arrays of nanopores, which are simultaneously probed using a single imaging device. The readout throughput thus can be magnified by several orders of magnitudes, achieving estimated readout rates of similar to 1-10 Mb/s.

The crystal structure of 1 contains the discrete octamolybdate beta-isomer, whereas in 3 the inorganic building unit is a functionalized octamolybdate of general formula [Mo8O26X2]((2n-4)). A similar building unit is found in 2 and 4, but forming part of polymeric 1D-arrays. In 2 the polymer is constructed from [Mo8O26(mu-bpe)](4-), and the functionalization of the anionic cluster in 4 occurs through Mo-O-Mo bonds. The sequential hydrothermal 2/3 -> 1 and 1 -> 4 transformations were observed at 145 and 180 degrees C, respectively. However, thermal studies of 1 and 4 revealed that both materials do not suffer any phase transitions below 340 degrees C for 1 or <350 degrees C for 4, indicating that such transformations are possible only under the hydrothermal conditions. An XRPD study as a function of the temperature of 1 also demonstrated the negligible structural changes before 330 degrees C. C1 Inst Venezolano Invest Cient, Caracas 1020A, Venezuela.

Although the differences in the affinity and selectivity of these receptors towards a given anion are not very pronounced, there are profound differences in the thermodynamics of anion complexation. Enthalpic and entropic contributions both ( 1) play a role in determining the binding affinity and ( 2) show significant variation as the linking structure is changed. A decrease in conformational rigidity of the linker improves the entropic advantage for complex formation, but not necessarily the overall complex stability. This effect may be due, in part, to the fact that structural constraints within more rigid linkers might prevent efficient interactions between the host and guest. The optimal linker, which exhibits both favourable enthalpic and entropic contributions, was identified using de novo structure-based design methods as implemented in the HostDesigner software.

The abundance of AM fungi (AMF) was estimated in maple (Acer spp.) fine roots following more than a decade of experimental additions of N designed to simulate chronic atmospheric N deposition. Abundance of AMF was measured by staining and ocular estimation, as well as by analyzing for the AMF indicator fatty acid 16:1 omega 5c in phospholipid (biomass indicator) and neutral lipid (lipid storage indicator) fractions. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal biomass, storage structures and lipid storage declined in response to N addition measured by both methods. This pattern was found when AM response was characterized as colonization intensity, on an areal basis and in proportion to maple above-ground biomass. The phospholipid fraction of the fatty acid 16:1 omega 5c was positively correlated with total AMF colonization and the neutral lipid fraction with vesicle colonization. Decreased AMF abundance with simulated N deposition suggests reduced C allocation to these fungi or a direct soil N-mediated decline. The fatty acid (phospholipid and neutral lipid fractions) 16:1 omega 5c was found to be a good indicator for AMF active biomass and stored energy, respectively.

The selenium hyperaccumulator Stanleya pinnata and accumulator Brassica juncea were used in herbivory studies in the laboratory, and S. pinnata was also used in a manipulative field experiment. In laboratory studies, both crickets and grasshoppers avoided plants pretreated with selenate while those given no choice died after eating leaves with elevated Se (447 +/- 68 and 230 +/- 68 pg Se g(-1) DW, respectively). B. juncea has previously been shown to accumulate selenate, while S. pinnata hyperaccumulates methylselenocysteine. Thus, these findings demonstrate that both inorganic and organic forms of selenium protect plants from herbivory. Grasshoppers fed S. pinnata contained methylselenocysteine in their midgut and absorbed this form into surrounding tissues. In a manipulative field experiment, methylselenocysteine protected S. pinnata from invertebrate herbivory and increased its long-term survival rate over an entire growth season. In native habitats of selenium hyperaccumulators, orthopterans represent a major group of insect herbivores. Protection offered by organic selenium accumulation against these herbivores may have promoted the evolution of selenium hyperaccumulation in plants.

Here, metal co-tolerance, accumulation and localization were investigated for A. murale exposed to metal co-contaminants. A. murale was irrigated with Ni-enriched nutrient solutions containing basal or elevated concentrations of cobalt (Co) or zinc (Zn). Metal localization and elemental associations were investigated in situ with synchrotron X-ray microfluorescence (SXRF) and computed-microtomography (CMT). A. murale hyperaccumulated Ni and Co(> 1000 mu g g(-1) dry weight) from mixed-metal systems. Zinc was not hyperaccumulated. Elevated Co or Zn concentrations did not alter Ni accumulation or localization. SXRF images showed uniform Ni distribution in leaves and preferential localization of Co near leaf tips/margins. CMT images revealed that leaf epidermal tissue was enriched with Ni but devoid of Co, that Co was localized in the apoplasm of leaf ground tissue and that Co was sequestered on leaf surfaces near the tips/margins. Cobalt-rich mineral precipitate(s) form on leaves of Co-treated A. murale. Specialized biochemical processes linked with Ni (hyper)tolerance in A. murale do not confer (hyper)tolerance to Co. A. murale relies on a different metal storage mechanism for Co (exocellular sequestration) than for Ni (vacuolar sequestration). C1 Univ Delaware, Newark, DE 19716 USA.

Here, hourly to seasonal patterns of stem growth and sap flow velocity were examined in mature trees from a mixed deciduous forest in eastern Tennessee (USA) to evaluate the effects of variations in ambient O-3 exposure and climate on patterns of stem growth and water use. Ambient O-3 caused a periodic slowdown in seasonal growth patterns that was attributable in part to amplification of diurnal patterns of water loss in tree stems. This response was mediated by statistically significant increases in O-3-induced daily sap flow and led to seasonal losses in stem growth of 30-50% for most species in a high-O-3 year. Decreased growth and increased water use of mature forest trees under episodically high ambient O-3 concentrations suggest that O-3 will amplify the adverse effects of increasing temperatures on forest growth and forest hydrology.

Patterns of sap flow in stems and soil moisture in the rooting zones of mature trees, coupled with late-season streamflow in three forested watersheds in east Tennessee, USA, were analyzed to determine relative influences of ozone and other climatic variables on canopy physiology and streamflow patterns. Statistically significant increases in whole-tree canopy conductance, depletion of soil moisture in the rooting zone, and reduced late-season streamflow in forested watersheds were detected in response to increasing ambient ozone levels. Short-term changes in canopy water use and empirically modeled streamflow patterns over a 23-yr observation period suggest that current ambient ozone exposures may exacerbate the frequency and level of negative effects of drought on forest growth and stream health.

Increasing atmospheric [CO2], increasing temperature, elevated nitrogen deposition and intensified management will change this C store. Well documented single-factor responses of net primary production are: higher photosynthetic rate (the main [CO2] response); increasing length of growing season (the main temperature response); and higher leaf-area index (the main N deposition and partly [CO2] response). Soil organic matter will increase with increasing litter input, although priming may decrease the soil C stock initially, but litter quality effects should be minimal (response to [CO2], N deposition, and temperature); will decrease because of increasing temperature; and will increase because of retardation of decomposition with N deposition, although the rate of decomposition of high-quality litter can be increased and that of low-quality litter decreased. Single-factor responses can be misleading because of interactions between factors, in particular those between N and other factors, and indirect effects such as increased N availability from temperature-induced decomposition. In the long term the strength of feedbacks, for example the increasing demand for N from increased growth, will dominate over short-term responses to single factors. However, management has considerable potential for controlling the C store. C1 Swedish Univ Agr Sci, Dept Ecol & Environm Res, SLU, SE-75007 Uppsala, Sweden.

An out-of-plane quadrupole magnetic field caused by the Hall MHD effects have been observed together with microturbulence inside the reconnection layer. The observed size of the quadrupole field is in agreement with the numerical simulation results as well as with those measured in the neutral sheath of the magnetopause. The dependence of the quadrupole field amplitude on the collisionality supports an idea that the Hall effect plays an important role in the collisionless reconnection where the mean free path of electrons (lambda(mfp)) becomes longer than the characteristic size of the reconnection sheet (6). It is important to note that the Hall effect, which occurs due to 2-D laminar flows of electrons in the reconnection plane, is observed together with the presence of low and high frequency magnetic turbulence, which often has 3-D structures. The observations in MRX have striking similarities to magnetospheric measurements of reconnection region, in which the quadrupole component has also been detected together with magnetic fluctuations.

We have developed a new 3D hyperspectral confocal fluorescence microscope that can further enhance the usefulness of fluorescence microscopy in studying biological systems. The new microscope can increase the information content obtained from the image since, at each voxel, the microscope records 512 wavelengths from the emission spectrum (490 to 800 nm) while providing optical sectioning of samples with diffraction-limited spatial resolution. When coupled with multivariate curve resolution (MCR) analyses, the microscope can resolve multiple spatially and spectrally overlapped emission components, thereby greatly increasing the number of fluorescent labels, relative to most commercial microscopes, that can be monitored simultaneously. The MCR algorithm allows the "discovery" of all emitting sources and estimation of their relative concentrations without cross talk, including those emission sources that might not have been expected in the imaged cells. In this work, we have used the new microscope to obtain time-resolved hyperspectral images of cellular processes. We have quantitatively monitored the translocation of the GFP-labeled RelA protein (without interference from autofluorescence) into and out of the nucleus of live HeLa cells in response to continuous stimulation by the cytokine, TNF alpha. These studies have been extended to imaging live mouse macrophage cells with YFP-labeled RelA and GFP-labeled IRF3 protein. Hyperspectral imaging coupled with MCR analysis makes possible, for the first time, quantitative analysis of GFP, YFP, and autofluorescence without concern for cross-talk between emission sources. The significant power and quantitative capabilities of the new hyperspectral imaging system are further demonstrated with the imaging of a simple fluorescence dye (SYTO 13) traditionally used to stain the nucleus of live cells. We will demonstrate the microscope system's ability to actually discover and quantify the presence of two separate SYTO 13 fluorescent species shifted in wavelength by only a few nm. These two emission components exhibit very different spatial distributions in macrophage cells (i.e., nucleus vs. cytoplasm + nucleus). Two highly overlapped autofluorescence components in addition to the two SYTO 13 components were also observed, and the spatial distributions of the two autofluorescence components were quantitatively mapped throughout the cells in three dimensions.

Direct write methods could help toward this significant cost reduction. We are investigating solution precursors and ink based atmospheric deposition approaches to a variety of solar cell materials. The first application we are studying is inkjet printing of contacts for photovoltaics in particular for Si solar cells. We have developed metal organic decomposition inks for silver, nickel, copper and aluminum for example. Conductivities close to that of bulk metals were obtained. The second application is the formation of the. absorber layer in CuInSe2 (CIS) based photovoltaics. CIS/CIGS is the most efficient thin film photovoltaic technology, but typically employ capital intensive PVD materials deposition and subsequent selenization steps. Our approach uses liquid based precursors that can be inkjet printed and processed under atmospheric conditions. Various precursors were identified leading to In2Se3, Cu2Se and CuInSe2 films without a selenization step on various substrates. Details of film deposition and processing will be discussed. The third application is in the field of organic photovoltaics. Here inkjet printing is used to deposit the photoactive layer such as a polythiophene, for example P3HT, and the conducting contact layer such as PEDOT/PSS. Details will be shown on how solvents can influence the quality of the printed material. Direct write processing of these materials may be enabling for this technology leading to an all printed photovoltaics.

Mammals possess three isoforms of nitric oxide synthase (NOS): endothelial (eNOS), neuronal (nNOS), and inducible (iNOS). These isoforms differ in their tissue distribution, cellular location, regulation, and NO output. NO synthesized by eNOS and nNOS acts in a paracrine fashion, whereby NO generated in one cell acts upon an adjacent cell by binding to and activating soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC). Activation of sGC by NO leads to a several hundredfold enhancement of cyclic guanidine mono-phosphate (cGMP) synthesis. Notable outcomes of elevated cGMP levels are neurotransmission and smooth muscle relaxation. iNOS is capable of synthesizing much higher steady-state levels of NO, and the toxicity of NO is harnessed as part of the innate immune response. In recent years, it has become increasingly clear that NO targets proteins other than sGC. S-nitrosation is an example of nonclassical NO signaling, defined as sGC/cGMP-independent, and has garnered attention with regard to the regulation of NOS activity both in vitro and in vivo. The purpose of this review is to cover what is currently known about the S-nitrosation of NOS isoforms.

The Study focused on MW class conventional neutrino beams that can be produced at Fermilab or BNL. The experimental baselines are based on two possible detector locations: 1) off-axis to the existing Fermilab NuMI beamline at baselines of 700 to 810 km and 2)NSF's proposed future Deep Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory (DUSEL) at baselines greater than 1000km. Two detector technologies are considered: a megaton class Water Cherenkov detector deployed deep underground at a DUSEL site, or a 100kT Liquid Argon Time-Projection Chamber (TPC) deployed on the surface at any of the proposed sites. The physics sensitivities of the proposed experiments are summarized. We find that conventional horn focused wide-band neutrino beam options from Fermilab or BNL aimed at a massive detector with a baseline of > 1000km have the best sensitivity to CP violation and the neutrino mass hierarchy for values of the mixing angle theta(13) down to 2.2 degrees.

Despite very successful performance of water Cherenkov detectors such as IMB, Kamiokande and Super- Kamiokande, it is not well known that this detector technology can also provide required performance for a next generation of long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment. This report presents the latest effort to prove that a large water Cherenkov detector will be adequate for rather difficult task of detecting vs from the neutrino oscillation v(mu) -> v(e) efficiently over a potentially large background from gamma s from pi(0) produced by neutral current.

In the first part, we consider an individual two-level system and/or is optically inside a Josephson junction shunted by a resistor. If the TLS modulates the Josephson energactive, it can be Rabi driven by the Josephson oscillation. The Rabi oscillations, in turn, translate into oscillations of current and voltage which can be detected in noise measurements. This effect provides an option to fully characterize the TLS inside Josephson junction and to find the TLS's contribution to the decoherence when the junction is used as a qubit. In the second part, we study the contribution of an ensemble of non-stationary glassy charge fluctuators on qubit decoherence. Low-temperature dynamics of insulating glasses is dominated by a macroscopic concentration of tunneling two-level systems. Due to exponentially broad distribution of their tunneling rates and the finite experimental manipulation timescales, some of the fluctuators are temporarily stuck in high-energy non-thermal states. We find that at low enough temperatures, non-stationary contribution due to these slow non-thermal fluctuators can dominate the stationary (thermal) one, and discuss how this effect can be minimized.

It is believed that charge inhomogeneities of this type arise in two-dimensional (2D) quantum hall systems and in electron crystal structures in high temperature superconductors, while related patterns appear in manganites and type-I superconductors. Recent noise and transport experiments in two-dimensional electron gases and high temperature superconducting samples revealed both 1/f(alpha) noise signatures and hysteretic phenomena. Using numerical simulations we show that 1/f(alpha) noise fluctuations and hysteresis are generic features that occur in charge systems which undergo a type of phase separation that results in stripes, clumps, checkerboards, or other inhomogeneous patterns. We find that these systems exhibit 1/f(alpha) fluctuations with 1.2 < a < 1.8, rather than simple 1/f or 1/f(2) fluctuations. We also propose that the 2D metal insulator transition may be associated with a clump electron glass phase rather than a Wigner glass phase.

Knowing the transmittance of such elements is of essence to properly model, simulate, and design a solar energy system. The traditional method for obtaining the transmittance is to use a spectrophotometer fitted with an integrating sphere detector. However, it is well-known that most commercial integrating spheres underestimate the true transmittance of thick scattering samples. This study investigates a method to obtain quantitative values of the losses associated with measuring a scattering sample. The International Commission on Glass (ICG TC-10) is conducting an inter-laboratory comparison (ILC) on scattering samples to improve the methodology for characterizing such samples. A fritted glass sample similar to one in the ILC was used as an example. One side of a clear glass sample has a highly scattering layer. The bi-directional transmittance distribution function (BTDF) for the sample was obtained using a goniophotometer and then used as scattering function in a ray-tracing simulation. The ray-tracer was configured to report the amount of light exiting all six surfaces of the sample as well as through various ports defined by the integrating sphere geometry. The sample was then measured with a commercial integrating sphere in several different configurations, verifying the accuracy of the model.

The solid D-T surface roughness is found to be 0.4 mu m for modes 7-128 at 1.5 K below the melting temperature. The layer roughness is found to increase with decreasing temperature, in agreement with previous visible light characterization studies. However, phase-contrast enhanced x-ray imaging provides a more robust surface roughness measurement than visible light methods. The new x-ray imaging results demonstrate clearly that the surface roughness decreases with time for solid D-T layers held at 1.5 K below the melting temperature.

We will describe the effect, its physical origin, and the circumstances where it becomes important. We will then demonstrate that the effect is directly related to chromaticity. We will describe the effect on the longitudinal dynamics in various circumstances, including linacs and fixed field alternating gradient accelerators (FFAGs). We will describe methods for correcting the effect, particularly in FFAGs. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. C1 Brookhaven Natl Lab, Upton, NY 11973 USA.

TI Beam test of a prototype phoswich detector assembly for the PoGOLite astronomical soft gamma-ray polarimeter SO NUCLEAR INSTRUMENTS & METHODS IN PHYSICS RESEARCH SECTION A-ACCELERATORS SPECTROMETERS DETECTORS AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT LA English DT Article DE polarization; soft gamma-ray; hard X-ray; balloon experiment ID CRAB-NEBULA; HXD-II; POLARIZATION; TELESCOPE; EMISSION; FLUX; ASTRO-E2; PULSAR; BURST AB We report about the beam test on a prototype of the balloon-based astronomical soft gamma-ray polarimeter, PoGOLite (Polarized Gamma-ray Observer-Light Version) conducted at KEK Photon Factory, a synchrotron radiation facility in Japan. The synchrotron beam was set at 30, 50, and 70 keV and its polarization was monitored by a calibrated polarimeter. The goal of the experiment was to validate the flight design of the polarimeter. PoGOLite is designed to measure polarization by detecting a Compton scattering and the subsequent photo-absorption in an array of 217 well-type phoswich detector cells (PDCs). The test setup included a first flight model PDC and a front-end electronics to select and reconstruct valid Compton scattering events. The experiment has verified that the flight PDC can detect recoil electrons and select valid Compton scattering events down to 30 keV from background. The measure azimuthal modulations (34.4%, 35.8% and 37.2% at 30, 50, and 70 keV, respectively) agreed within 10% (relative) with the predictions by Geant4 implemented with dependence on the initial and final photon polarizations.

Scintillators display varying degrees and patterns of nonlinearity, while semiconductor detectors are extremely linear, and gas detectors show a characteristic form of nonproportionality associated with core levels. The relation between nonlinear response (to both primary particles and secondary electrons) and spectrometer resolution is also discussed. We review the qualitative ideas about the origin of nonlinearity in scintillators that have been proposed to date, with emphasis on transport and recombination of electronic excitations. Recent computational and experimental work on the basic physics of scintillators is leading towards a better understanding of energy nonlinearity and should result in new, more linear scintillator materials in the near future.

TI Acceptance scan technique for the drift tube linac of the spallation neutron source SO NUCLEAR INSTRUMENTS & METHODS IN PHYSICS RESEARCH SECTION A-ACCELERATORS SPECTROMETERS DETECTORS AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT LA English DT Article DE high intensity beam; drift tube linac; acceptance; phase scan AB For high intensity proton accelerators, it is vital to reduce the machine activation by minimizing the beam loss from many sources. One of such sources is longitudinal mismatch. To minimize a potential mismatch, it is important to set accurately the rf set-point (rf field amplitude and phase) of a high-intensity linac such as the drift tube linac (DTL) of the spallation neutron source. A widely used technique called the acceptance scan was studied extensively and applied successfully to tune the DTL tanks since the initial commissioning. From the acceptance scan one can obtain the longitudinal beam profile at the entrance of each DTL tank. But except tank 1, acceptance scan alone cannot determine the incoming beam energy deviation, leading to small uncertainties in the rf set point. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Among its many possible fields of application, it can be used e.g. to design and optimise radiation shields for space vessels. However, the reliability of the predictions of the code depends directly on the certified accuracy of the code components, i.e. the models the code uses to estimate the quantities necessary for the transport calculation. As a part of a comprehensive benchmarking program, we have investigated the possibility of using PHITS to calculate partial charge-changing cross sections and we have compared the results with measurements performed by some of us (CZ, LH, JM, SG). The results, although limited, suggest that the current reaction-cross-section models might be inadequate for use in space radioprotection; we therefore claim the need for a thorough benchmarking of the models and for new reaction-cross-section measurements and experimental techniques.

To achieve this, a neutron beam illuminates the body. Nuclei in the body along the path of the beam are stimulated by inelastic scattering of the neutrons in the beam and emit characteristic gamma photons whose unique energy identifies the element. The emitted gammas are collected in a spectrometer and form a projection intensity for each spectral line at the projection orientation of the neutron beam. Rotating and translating either the body or the beam will allow a tomographic projection set to be acquired. Images are reconstructed to represent the spatial distribution of elements in the body. Critical to this process is the appropriate removal of background gamma events from the spectrum. Here we demonstrate the equivalence of two background correction techniques and discuss the appropriate application of each. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The objective of this research was to develop a radiolabeled mitochondrial probe. Two tracers, 7'-Z-iodorotenol and 7'-Z-iodorotenone, analogs of rotenone a natural product that inhibits Complex I of the mitochondrial electron transport chain, have been labeled with iodine-125 in 45-85% yield in a single step from the corresponding tributylstannyl precursor. In vivo distribution in adult male Sprague-Dawley rats for both compounds showed high accumulation in the heart (1.7-3.7 %ID/g at 1 h), a tissue with high mitochondrial content. Z-Iodorotenol did not washout of most tissues between 1 and 2 h postinjection, whereas Z-iodorotenone showed moderate washout (7-26%) over the same period. By 24 h, there was significant loss of both compounds from most tissues including the heart. Heart-to-blood, -lung and -liver ratios for Z-iodorotenone of 28.9, 10.7 and 2.4, respectively, were two- to fourfold higher than the Z-iodorotenol ratios. Compared to the current clinical perfusion tracers, Tc-99m-sestamibi and (99)mTc-tetrofosirim, Z-iodorotenone demonstrates similar I h heart accumulation and significantly higher heart-to-lung ratio (P <.001). Z-Iodorotenone heart-to-liver ratio is equivalent to Tc-99m-sestamibi. 7'-Z-Iodorotenone possesses distribution characteristics of an improved tracer for SPECT perfusion studies.

We find the color glass condensate generates distinctive predictions for the long range component of this correlation. In particular, we predict the growth of the long range correlation with the centrality of the collision. We argue that the correlation for baryons is less strong than that for mesons.

After the analysis of 8024 h of data the half-life for the two-neutrino double beta decay of Mo-100 to the excited 0(1)(+) state is measured to be T-1/2((2v))=[5.7(-0.9)(+1.3)(stat.) +/- 0.8(syst.)] x 10(20) y. The signal -to-background ratio is equal to 3. Information about energy and angular distributions of emitted electrons is also obtained. No evidence for neutrinoless double beta decay to the excited 0(1)(+) state has been found. The corresponding half-life limit is T-1/2((Ov)) (0(+)-> 0(1)(+)) > 8.9 X 10(22) y (at 90% C.L.). The search for the double, beta decay to the 2(1)(+) excited state has allowed the determination of limits on the half-life for the two neutrino mode T-1/2((2v)) (0(+)-> 2(1)(+)) > 1.1 x 10(21) y (at 90% C.L.) and for the neutrinoless mode T-1/2((OV)) (0(+)-> 2(1)(+)) > 1.6 x 10(23) y (at 90% C.L.).

A complex nonperturbative parameter from annihilation first appears at O[alpha(2)(s)(root Lambda m(b)) Lambda/m(b)]. "Chirally enhanced" contributions are also factorizable and real at lowest order. Thus, incalculable strong phases are suppressed in annihilation amplitudes, unless the alpha(s)(root Lambda m(b)) expansion breaks down. Modeling the distribution functions, we find that (11 +/- 9)% and (15 +/- 11)% of the absolute values of the measured B-0 -> K-pi(+) and B- -> (K-K0) penguin amplitudes come from annihilation. This is consistent with the expected size of power corrections. C1 Univ Calif Berkeley, Lawrence Berkeley Lab, Berkeley, CA 94720 USA.

The selenium-derivatized structure (1.28 angstrom resolution) with the 2'-Se modification in the minor groove is isomorphorous to the native structure (2.0 angstrom). To directly compare with the conventional bromine derivatization, we incorporated bromine into the 5-postion of T4, determined the bromine-derivatized DNA structure at 1.5 angstrom resolution, and found that the local backbone torsion angles and solvent hydration patterns were altered in the structure with the Br incorporation in the major groove. Furthermore, while the native and Br-derivatized DNAs needed over a week to form reasonable-size crystals, we observed that the Se-derivatized DNAs grew crystals overnight with high-diffraction quality, suggesting that the Se derivatization facilitated the crystal formation. In addition, the Se-derivatized DNA sequences crystallized under a broader range of buffer conditions, and generally had a faster crystal growth rate. Our experimental results indicate that the selenium derivatization of DNAs may facilitate the determination of nucleic acid X-ray crystal structures in phasing and high-quality crystal growth. In addition, our results suggest that the Se derivatization can be an alternative to the conventional Br derivatization. C1 Georgia State Univ, Dept Chem, Atlanta, GA 30302 USA.

GISMO is highly accurate; exhibiting high sensitivity and specificity in gene identification. We found that it performs well for complete prokaryotic chromosomes, irrespective of their GC content, and also for plasmids as short as 10 kb, short genes and for genes with atypical sequence composition. Using GISMO, we found several thousand new predictions for the published genomes that are supported by extrinsic evidence, which strongly suggest that these are very likely biologically active genes.

Sentra consists of two principal components, a manually curated list of signal transduction proteins in 202 completely sequenced prokaryotic genomes and an automatically generated listing of predicted signaling proteins in 235 sequenced genomes that are awaiting manual curation. In addition to two-component histidine kinases and response regulators, the database now lists manually curated Ser/Thr/Tyr protein kinases and protein phosphatases, as well as adenylate and diguanylate cyclases and c-di-GMP phosphodiesterases, as defined in several recent reviews. All entries in Sentra are extensively annotated with relevant information from public databases (e.g. UniProt, KEGG, PDB and NCBI). Sentra's infrastructure was redesigned to support interactive cross-genome comparisons of signal transduction capabilities of prokaryotic organisms from a taxonomic and phenotypic perspective and in the framework of signal transduction pathways from KEGG. Sentra leverages the PUMA2 system to support interactive analysis and annotation of signal transduction proteins by the users.

Although several databases describing interactions between regulatory proteins and their binding sites are already being maintained, they either focus mostly on the model organisms Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis or are entirely computationally derived. RegTransBase describes a large number of regulatory interactions reported in many organisms and contains the following types of experimental data: the activation or repression of transcription by an identified direct regulator, determining the transcriptional regulatory function of a protein (or RNA) directly binding to DNA (RNA), mapping or prediction of a binding site for a regulatory protein and characterization of regulatory mutations. Currently, RegTransBase content is derived from about 3000 relevant articles describing over 7000 experiments in relation to 128 microbes. It contains data on the regulation of about 7500 genes and evidence for 6500 interactions with 650 regulators. RegTransBase also contains manually created position weight matrices (PWM) that can be used to identify candidate regulatory sites in over 60 species.

NMPDR contains the complete genomes of similar to 50 strains of pathogenic bacteria that are the focus of our curators, as well as > 400 other genomes that provide a broad context for comparative analysis across the three phylogenetic Domains. NMPDR integrates complete, public genomes with expertly curated biological subsystems to provide the most consistent genome annotations. Subsystems are sets of functional roles related by a biologically meaningful organizing principle, which are built over large collections of genomes; they provide researchers with consistent functional assignments in a biologically structured context. Investigators can browse subsystems and reactions to develop accurate reconstructions of the metabolic networks of any sequenced organism. NMPDR provides a comprehensive bioinformatics platform, with tools and viewers for genome analysis. Results of precomputed gene clustering analyses can be retrieved in tabular or graphic format with one-click tools. NMPDR tools include Signature Genes, which finds the set of genes in common or that differentiates two groups of organisms. Essentiality data collated from genome-wide studies have been curated. Drug target identification and high-throughput, in silico, compound screening are in development. C1 Univ Illinois, Natl Ctr Supercomp Applicat, Urbana, IL 61801 USA.

Because of their extreme sequence variability and extensive domain shuffling, signal transduction proteins are difficult to identify, and their current annotation in most leading databases is often incomplete or erroneous. To overcome this problem, we have developed the microbial signal transduction (MiST) database (http://genomics.ornl.gov/mist), a comprehensive library of the signal transduction proteins from completely sequenced bacterial and archaeal genomes. By searching for domain profiles that implicate a particular protein as participating in signal transduction, we have systematically identified 69 270 two- and one-component proteins in 365 bacterial and archaeal genomes. We have designed a user-friendly website to access and browse the predicted signal transduction proteins within various organisms. Further capabilities include gene/protein sequence retrieval, visualized domain architectures, interactive chromosomal views for exploring gene neighborhood, advanced querying options and cross-species comparison. Newly available, complete genomes are loaded into the database each month. MiST is the only comprehensive and up-to-date electronic catalog of the signaling machinery in microbial genomes.

TI VISTA Enhancer Browser - a database of tissue-specific human enhancers SO NUCLEIC ACIDS RESEARCH LA English DT Article ID HUMAN GENOME; REGULATORY ELEMENTS; SEQUENCE; GENE; EXPRESSION AB Despite the known existence of distant-acting cis-regulatory elements in the human genome, only a small fraction of these elements has been identified and experimentally characterized in vivo. This paucity of enhancer collections with defined activities has thus hindered computational approaches for the genome-wide prediction of enhancers and their functions. To fill this void, we utilize comparative genome analysis to identify candidate enhancer elements in the human genome coupled with the experimental determination of their in vivo enhancer activity in transgenic mice [L. A. Pennacchio et al. (2006) Nature, in press]. These data are available through the VISTA Enhancer Browser (http://enhancer.lbl.gov). This growing database currently contains over 250 experimentally tested DNA fragments, of which more than 100 have been validated as tissue-specific enhancers. For each positive enhancer, we provide digital images of whole-mount embryo staining at embryonic day 11.5 and an anatomical description of the reporter gene expression pattern. Users can retrieve elements near single genes of interest, search for enhancers that target reporter gene expression to a particular tissue, or download entire collections of enhancers with a defined tissue specificity or conservation depth. These experimentally validated training sets are expected to provide a basis for a wide range of downstream computational and functional studies of enhancer function.

TI MvirDB - a microbial database of protein toxins, virulence factors and antibiotic resistance genes for bio-defence applications SO NUCLEIC ACIDS RESEARCH LA English DT Article ID GENOME AB Knowledge of toxins, virulence factors and antibiotic resistance genes is essential for bio-defense applications aimed at identifying 'functional' signatures for characterizing emerging or engineered pathogens. Whereas genetic signatures identify a pathogen, functional signatures identify what a pathogen is capable of. To facilitate rapid identification of sequences and characterization of genes for signature discovery, we have collected all publicly available (as of this writing), organized sequences representing known toxins, virulence factors, and antibiotic resistance genes in one convenient database, which we believe will be of use to the bio-defense research community. MvirDB integrates DNA and protein sequence information from Tox-Prot, SCORPION, the PRINTS virulence factors, VFDB, TVFac, Islander, ARGO and a subset of VIDA. Entries in MvirDB are hyperlinked back to their original sources. A blast tool allows the user to blast against all DNA or protein sequences in MvirDB, and a browser tool allows the user to search the database to retrieve virulence factor descriptions, sequences, and classifications, and to download sequences of interest. MvirDB has an automated weekly update mechanism. Each protein sequence in MvirDB is annotated using our fully automated protein annotation system and is linked to that system's browser tool.

Simulations employing the spectral element method are conducted at Reynolds number 1,200 with two different flow divisions under a Newtonian fluid assumption. Laser Doppler anemometry is used to experimentally measure velocity in an optically clear rigid model with the same geometry. Good agreement is observed for both flow divisions with respect to time-averaged and fluctuating velocity. The flow field is characterized by a high-speed jet along the floor, flow separation, and a generally complex three-dimensional flow pattern. These results are novel in that they represent the first detailed comparison between experiments and numerical simulations for transitional flow within a subject-specific blood vessel junction.

Direct input from OIM images is used in the construction of the initial unit cell. Average orientations and misorientations predicted with the FFT-based approach after 11% tensile strain are directly compared with OIM measurements, showing a reasonable agreement. The differences between misorientations of surface grains compared with bulk grains are estimated, and the orientation-dependence of grain's misorientations is studied. Measurements and simulations agree in that grains with initial orientation near (110) tend to develop higher misorientations, as deformation proceeds. This behavior can be explained in terms of attraction towards the two different stable orientations and grain interaction. Only models that account for grain interaction, like the FFT-based formulation, are able to capture these effects.

However, due to the marked difference in material properties of the different laminated layers, integrating laminated steel parts into the manufacturing processes can be challenging. Especially, the behavior of laminated sheets during forming processes is very different from that of monolithic steel sheets. During the deep-draw forming process, large shear deformation and corresponding high interfacial stress may initiate and propagate interfacial cracks between the core polymer and the metal skin, hence degrading the performance of the laminated sheets. In this paper, the formability of the laminated steel sheets is investigated by means of numerical analysis. The goal of this work is to gain insight into the relationship between the individual properties of the laminated sheet layers and the corresponding formability of the laminated sheet as a whole, eventually leading to reliable design and successful forming process development of such materials. Finite element analyses of laminate sheet forming are presented. Effects of polymer core thickness and viscoelastic properties of the polymer core, as well as punching velocity, are also investigated.

It is based on a decomposition technique for hydrostatic and non-hydrostatic pressure. The algorithm has a pressure-correction scheme with split-explicit time-stepping for baroclinic and barotropic vertical modes with a free surface. The algorithm implementation requires solving a Poisson equation for a non-hydrostatic pressure that has a non-symmetric matrix in discrete form. The efficiency of a different class of solvers and preconditioners were tested. The algorithm is successfully implemented with several examples where non-hydrostatic effects are important. These include standing external gravity waves; strongly non-linear internal wave generation and transformation; stratified shear instability and its associated mixing; and non-linear internal tidal generation over a ridge. The corresponding changes in the pre-processing and post-processing infrastructure in the existing hydrostatic ROMS code were performed to implement parallel elliptic solvers and a new set of dynamical equations.

The STMW distribution is found to be highly variable in both space and time, a characteristic often unexplored because of sparse observations or the use of coarse resolution simulations. Its distribution is highly dependent on eddies, and where it was renewed during the previous winter. Although the potential vorticity fluxes associated with down-front winds can be of the same order of magnitude or even greater than the diabatic ones due to airsea temperature differences, the latter dominate the potential vorticity budget on regional and larger scales. Air-sea fluxes, however, are dominated by a few strong wind events, emphasizing the importance of short time scales in the formation of mode waters. In the Kuroshio Extension region, both advection and mixing play important roles to remove the STMW from the formation region. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Part I: The western boundary current system SO OCEAN MODELLING LA English DT Article ID GULF-STREAM; NUMERICAL-SIMULATION; OCEAN MODELS; DEEP-WATER; PARAMETERIZATION; 68-DEGREES-W; SEPARATION; TRANSPORT; IMPACT; EXIT AB The fidelity of numerical simulations of the general circulation of the North Atlantic Ocean in basin- to global-scale models have improved considerably in the last several years. This improvement appears to represent a regime shift in the dynamics of the simulated flow as the horizontal grid spacing decreases to around 10 km. Nevertheless, some significant biases in the simulated circulation and substantial uncertainties about the robustness of these results with respect to parameterization choices remain. A growing collection of simulations obtained with the POP primitive equation model allow us to investigate the convergence properties and sensitivity of high resolution numerical simulations of the North Atlantic, with particular attention given to Gulf Stream separation and the subsequent path of the North Atlantic Current into the Northwest Corner. Increases in resolution and reductions in dissipation both contribute to the improvements in the circulation seen in recent studies. We find that our highest resolution eddy-resolving simulations retain an appreciable sensitivity to the closure scheme. Our most realistic simulations of the Gulf Stream are not obtained at the lowest levels of dissipation, while the simulation of the North Atlantic Current continues to improve as dissipation is reduced to near the numerical stability limit. In consequence, there is a limited range of parameter space where both aspects of the simulated circulation can be brought into agreement with observations. This experience gained with the comparatively affordable regional North Atlantic model is now being used to configure the next generation of ocean climate models. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.

In the framework of the European Seas Observatory Network (ESONET) an essential part of the research and technology focuses on continuous and long term observations to characterize dynamic ocean processes and monitor the global state of the ocean. Therefore, the development of high performance integrated tools for acoustic inversion is one of the attractive components in this network. For the purpose of efficient data assimilation this paper investigates sequential methods that are able to update sound-speed profile parameters, typically the coefficients of empirical orthogonal functions (EOF), with respect to new incoming acoustic or hydrographic measurements and take into account the seafloor and sub-seafloor acoustic properties in a shallow water environment. A formulation using Kalman filters is suitable for a sequential treatment. This paper investigates the application of two different extensions of the Kalman filter, the extended Kalman filter and the more recent unscented Kalman filter for comparison.

Anatomical studies have shown that other retinal neuronal cells (bipolar cells, ganglion cells) are preserved in these diseases and they are capable of eliciting visual percepts when electrically stimulated. We describe the design of a prototype 16-electrode retinal prosthesis, and the physiological and clinical results on six blind patients with RP who had the device implanted. The US Department of Energy artificial retina program is described. The goal of the program is construction of a 1000-electrode retinal neuroprosthesis with the potential of enabling blind patients to read large print and ambulate with ease. C1 [Viola, M.

However, the clinical utility of these systems has been limited by the available deformable mirror technology. In this paper, we demonstrate that the use of dual deformable mirrors can effectively compensate large aberrations in the human retina, making the AOSLO system a viable, non-invasive, high-resolution imaging tool for clinical diagnostics. We used a bimorph deformable mirror to correct low-order aberrations with relatively large amplitudes. The bimorph mirror is manufactured by Aoptix, Inc. with 37 elements and 18 mu m stroke in a 10 mm aperture. We used a MEMS deformable mirror to correct high-order aberrations with lower amplitudes. The MEMS mirror is manufactured by Boston Micromachine, Inc with 144 elements and 1.5 mu m stroke in a 3 mm aperture. We have achieved near diffraction-limited retina images using the dual deformable mirrors to correct large aberrations up to +/- 3D of defocus and +/- 3D of cylindrical aberrations with test subjects. This increases the range of spectacle corrections by the AO systems by a factor of 10, which is crucial for use in the clinical environment. This ability for large phase compensation can eliminate accurate refractive error fitting for the patients, which greatly improves the system ease of use and efficiency in the clinical environment.

This modulator takes the place of the currently utilized SRI micro-channel plate which is limited to photocathode sensitive wavelengths (primarily in the visible and near-IR regimes). The new component is an active Resonant Subwavelength Grating (RSG). An RSG functions as an extremely narrow wavelength and angular band reflector, or mode selector. Theoretical studies predict that the infinite, laterally-extended RSG can reflect 100% of the resonant light while transmitting the balance of the other wavelengths. Previous experimental realization of these remarkable predictions has been impacted primarily by fabrication challenges. Even so, we have demonstrated large-area (1.0mm) passive RSG reflectivity as high as 100.2%, normalized to deposited gold. In this work, we transform the passive RSG design into an active laser-line modulator. C1 Sandia Natl Labs, Albuquerque, NM 87185 USA.

Several simple clear sky solar radiation models for computing hourly direct, diffuse and global hemispherical solar radiation have been developed over the past 25 years. The simple model of Richard Bird, Iqbal's parameterization C, and Gueymard's REST model are popular for estimating maximum hourly solar resources. We describe a simple polynomial in cloud cover (octa) modifier for these models that produces realistic time series of hourly solar radiation data representative of naturally occurring solar radiation conditions under all sky conditions. Surface cloud cover observations (Integrated Surface Hourly Data) from the National Climatic Data Center are the only additional (hourly) input data to model total hemispherical solar radiation under all sky conditions. Performance was evaluated using three years of hourly solar radiation data from 31 sites in the 1961-1990 National Solar Radiation Data Base. Mean bias errors range from - 10% to -20%, and are clear sky model dependant. Root mean square error of about 40%, are also dependent upon the particular model used and the uncertainty in the specific clear sky model inputs and lack of information on cloud type and spatial distributions.

This approach is most popular in high frame rate video applications where latent variables, related to the objects appearance (e.g., orientation and pose), vary slowly from one frame to the next. In these cases the appearance model and the tracking system are tightly integrated, and latent variables are often included as part of the tracking system's dynamic model. In this paper we describe our efforts to track cars in low frame rate data (I frame / second), acquired from a highly unstable airborne platform. Due to the low frame rate, and poor image quality, the appearance of a particular vehicle varies greatly from one frame to the next. This leads us to a different problem: how can we build the best appearance model from all instances of a vehicle we have seen so far. The best appearance model should maximize the future performance of the tracking system, and maximize the chances of reacquiring the vehicle once it leaves the field of view. We propose an online feature selection approach to this problem and investigate the performance and computational trade-offs with a real-world dataset.

The nature of the NIF facility requires the alignment of complex three-dimensional optical systems of very long distances. Access to the alignment mechanisms can be limited, and any alignment system must be operator-friendly. The Velocity Interferometer System for Any Reflector (VISAR) measures shock velocities and shock breakout times of 1- to 5-mm targets at a location remote to the NIF target chamber. A third imaging system measures self-emission of the targets. These three optical systems using the same vacuum chamber port each have a total track of 21 m. All optical tenses are on kinematic mounts or sliding rails, enabling pointing accuracy of the optical axis to be systematically checked. Counter-propagating laser beams (orange and red) align these diagnostics to a listing of tolerances. Floating apertures, placed before and after lens groups, display misalignment by showing the spread of alignment spots created by the orange and red alignment lasers. Optical elements include 1-in. to 15-in. diameter mirrors, lenses with up to 10.5-in. diameters, beam splitters, etalons, dove prisms, filters, and pellicles. Alignment of more than 75 optical elements must be verified before each target shot. Archived images from eight alignment cameras prove proper alignment is achieved before each shot.

Previously, our particular interests led to a series of studies on single-fiber transmission of Q-switched, 1064 nm pulses from multimode Nd:YAG lasers through step-index, multimode, fused silica fibers. The maximum pulse energy that could be transmitted through a given fiber was limited by the onset of laser-induced breakdown or damage. Breakdown at the fiber entrance face was often the first limiting process encountered, but other mechanisms were observed that could result in catastrophic damage at either fiber face, within the initial "entry" segment of the fiber, and at other internal sites along the fiber path. These studies examined system elements that can govern the relative importance of different damage mechanisms, including laser characteristics, the design and alignment of laser-to-fiber injection optics, fiber end-face preparation, and fiber routing. In particular, criteria were established for injection optics in order to maximize margins between transmission requirements and thresholds for laser-induced damage. Recent interests have led us to examine laser injection into multiple fibers. Effective methods for generating multiple beams are available, but the resulting beam geometry can lead to challenges in applying the criteria for optimum injection optics. To illustrate these issues, we have examined a three-fiber injection system consisting of a beam-shaping element, a primary injection lens, and a grating beamsplitter. Damage threshold characteristics were established by testing fibers using the injection geometry imposed by this system design.

We also discuss the possibilities to extend the sensitivity of the PDV system to provide a compact diagnostic with a broad range of capabilities. Our topographer is based on the Shack-Hartmann interferometer that can resolve the changing shape of the ablated metal surface as it is launched.

Schlieren is a well-known technique for visualizing shock phenomena in transparent media. Laser backlighting and a framing camera allow for Schlieren images with very short (down to 5 ns) exposure times, band pass filtering to block out explosive self-light, and 14 frames of a single explosive event. This diagnostic has been applied to several explosive initiation events, such as exploding bridgewires (EBW), Exploding Foil Initiators (EFI) (or slappers), Direct Optical Initiation (DOI), and ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD). Additionally, a series of tests have been performed on "cut-back" detonators with varying initial pressing (IP) heights. We have also used this Diagnostic to visualize a range of EBW, EFI, and DOI full-up detonators. The setup has also been used to visualize a range of other explosive events, such as explosively driven metal shock experiments and explosively driven microjets. Future applications to other explosive events such as boosters and IHE booster evaluation will be discussed. Finite element codes (EPIC, CTH) have been used to analyze the schlieren images to determine likely boundary or initial conditions to determine the temporal-spatial pressure profile across the output face of the detonator. These experiments are part of a phased plan to understand the evolution of detonation in a detonator from initiation shock through ran to detonation to full detonation to transition to booster and booster detonation.

Laser light that is detuned slightly to the long-wavelength side of the resonance traps individual and multiple particles for up to 20 minutes; by contrast, light detuned to the short-wavelength side repels rods from the laser focus. Under stable-trapping conditions, the trapping time of individual particles depends exponentially on laser power, in agreement with a Kramers escape process. Trapped particles have their long axes aligned with the trapping-laser polarization, as evidenced by a suppression of rotational diffusion about the short axis. When multiple particles are trapped simultaneously, evidence of interparticle interactions is observed, including a nonlinearly increasing two-photon fluorescence intensity, increasing fluorescence fluctuations, and changing fluorescence profiles as the trapped particle number increases.

Video images of laser beams along the beam path are used by automatic alignment algorithms to determine the position of the beams for alignment purposes. However, noise and other optical effects may affect the accuracy of the calculated beam location. Realistic estimation of the uncertainty is necessary to assure that the beam is monitored within the clear optical path. When the uncertainty is above a certain threshold the automated alignment operation is suspended and control of the beam is transferred to a human operator. This work describes our effort to quantify the uncertainty of measurement of the most common alignment beam. C1 [Awwal, Abdul A. S.; Law, Clement; Ferguson, S.

The attacks that have occurred to date, such as the 1995 Aum Shinrikyo CB attacks and the 2001 anthrax letters, have been very small on the scale of what is possible. In order to defend against and mitigate the impacts of large-scale terrorist attacks, defensive systems for protection of urban areas and high-value facilities from biological and chemical threats have been deployed. This paper reviews analyses of such scenarios and of the efficacy of potential response options, discusses defensive systems that have been deployed and detectors that are being developed, and finally outlines the detection systems that will be needed for improved CB defense in the future. Sandia's collaboration with San Francisco International Airport on CB defense will also be briefly reviewed, including an overview of airport facility defense guidelines produced in collaboration with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The analyses that will be discussed were conducted by Sandia National Laboratories' Systems Studies Department in support of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate, and include quantitative analyses utilizing simulation models developed through close collaboration with subject matter experts, such as public health officials in urban areas and biological defense experts.

Recent advances in polymer research and nanoscale fabrication methods along with advances in optical polarimetric remote sensing systems suggest a solution. The basic device uses a micro-wiregrid infrared polarizer fabricated in conductive polymer. When the polymer is exposed to hard radiation, its conductivity will be affected and the polarization properties of the device will change in a corresponding manner. This change in polarization properties can be determined by optically interrogating the device, possibly from a remote location. We will report on the development of a radiation-sensitive passive dosimeter polymer with very low optical visibility. Progress on material development, lithographic fabrication and optical characterization will be presented. C1 Sandia Natl Labs, Albuquerque, NM 87185 USA.

Because the needs vary greatly among diverse applications, tailored systems are needed that meet performance, information, and cost requirements. A systems perspective allows developers to identify chokepoints for each application, and focus R&D investments on the limiting factors. Surveillance and detection systems are comprised of three primary components: information (markers), chemistries (assays), and instrumentation for "readout". Careful consideration of these components within the context of each application will allow for increases in efficiency and performance not generally realized when researchers focus on a single component in isolation. In fact, many application requirements can be met with simple novel combinations of existing technologies, without the need for huge investments in basic research. Here we discuss some of the key parameters for surveillance, detection, and identification of biothreat agents, and provide examples of focused development that addresses key bottlenecks, and greatly improve system performance.

CZT detectors operate at ambient temperatures and offer high detection efficiency and excellent energy resolution, placing them ahead of high-purity Ge for those applications where cryogenic cooling is problematic. The progress achieved in CZT detectors over the past decade is founded on the developments of robust detector designs and readout electronics, both of which helped to overcome the effects of carrier trapping. Because the holes have low mobility, only electrons can be used to generate signals in thick CZT detectors, so one must account for the variation of the output signal versus the locations of the interaction points. To obtain high spectral resolution, the detector's design should provide a means to eliminate this dependence throughout the entire volume of the device. In reality, the sensitive volume of any ionization detector invariably has two regions. In the first, adjacent to the collecting electrode, the amplitude of the output signal rapidly increases almost to its maximum as the interaction point is located farther from the anode; in the rest of the volume, the output signal remains nearly constant. Thus, the quality of CZT detector designs can be characterized based on the magnitude of the signals variations in the drift region and the ratio between the volumes of the drift and induction regions. The former determines the "geometrical" width of the photopeak, i.e., the line width that affects the total energy resolution and is attributed to the device's geometry when all other factors are neglected. The latter determines the photopeak efficiency and the area under the continuum in the pulse-height spectra. In this work, we describe our findings from systematizing different designs of CZT detectors and evaluating their performance based on these two criteria. C1 Brookhaven Natl Lab, Upton, NY 11973 USA.

In order to do so, fast detectors which can operate during and shortly after intense interrogation radiation flashes are being developed. Novel silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductor Schottky diodes have been utilized as robust neutron and photon detectors in both pulsed photon and pulsed neutron fields and are being integrated into active inspection environments to allow exploitation of both prompt and delayed emissions. These detectors have demonstrated the capability of detecting both photon and neutron events during intense photon flashes typical of an active inspection environment. Beyond the inherent insensitivity of SiC to gamma radiation, fast digitization and processing has demonstrated that pulse shape discrimination (PSD) in combination with amplitude discrimination can ftirther suppress unwanted gamma signals and extract fast neutron signatures. Usable neutron signals have been extracted from mixed radiation fields where the background has exceeded the signals of interest by > 1000:1. C1 Idaho Natl Lab, Idaho Falls, ID 83415 USA.

Taking advantage of the tissue-equivalent properties of this detector in conjunction with the use of a fast digital signal processor near real-time dosimetry was shown to be possible. The importance of accounting for a broad energy electron beam in bremsstrahlung production, and photon scattering and build-up, in correctly interpreting dosimetry results at long stand-off distances is highlighted by comparing real world experiments with ideal geometry simulations. Close agreement was found between absorbed energy calculations based upon spectroscopic techniques and calculations based upon signal integration, showing a ratio between 10 MeV absorbed dose to 12 MeV absorbed dose of 0.58 at a distance of 91.4 m from the accelerator. This is compared with an idealized model simulation with a monoenergetic electron beam and without scattering, where the ratio was 0.46. C1 Idaho Natl Lab, Idaho Falls, ID 83415 USA.

However, for a pulse with a self-modulated phase, it causes the fields with different phases to overlap, thus resulting in destructive interference that shortens the pulse.

This system uses gel-based microarrays with immobilized probes designed within a phylogenetic framework that provides for comprehensive microbial monitoring. Understanding the community structure in the oral cavity is a necessary foundation on which to understand the breadth and depth of different microbial communities in the oral cavity and their role in acute and systemic disease. Our ultimate goal is to develop a diagnostic device to identify individuals at high risk for oral disease, and thereby reduce its prevalence and therefore the economic burden associated with treatment. This article discusses recent improvements of our system in reducing diffusional constraints in order to provide more rapid and accurate measurements of the microbial composition of saliva.

We have developed a portable microfluidic device for detection of potential biomarkers of periodontal disease in saliva. The device performs rapid microfluidic chip-based immunoassays (<3-10 min) with low sample volume requirements (10 mu L) and appreciable sensitivity (nM-pM). Our microfluidic method facilitates hands-free saliva analysis by integrating sample pretreatment (filtering, enrichment, mixing) with electrophoretic immunoassays to quickly measure analyte concentrations in minimally pretreated saliva samples. The microfluidic chip has been integrated with miniaturized electronics, optical elements, such as diode lasers, fluid-handling components, and data acquisition software to develop a portable, self-contained device. The device and methods are being tested by detecting potential biomarkers in saliva samples from patients diagnosed with periodontal disease. Our microchip-based analysis can readily be extended to detection of biomarkers of other diseases, both oral and systemic, in saliva and other oral fluids.

In this platform, an array of OLED pixels, which is structurally integrated with the sensing elements, is used as the photoluminescence (PL) excitation source. The structural integration is achieved by fabricating the OLED array and the sensing element on opposite sides of a common glass substrate or on two glass substrates that are attached back-to-back. As it does not require optical fibers, lens, or mirrors, it results in a uniquely simple, low-cost, and potentially rugged geometry. The recent developments on this platform include the following: (1) Enhancing the performance of gas-phase and dissolved oxygen sensors. This is achieved by (a) incorporating high-dielectric TiO2 nanoparticles in the oxygen-sensitive Pt and Pd octaethylporphyrin (PtOEP and PdOEP, respectively)doped polystyrene (PS) sensor films, and (b) embedding the oxygen-sensitive dyes in a matrix of polymer blends such as PS:polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). (2) Developing sensor arrays for simultaneous detection of multiple serum analytes, including oxygen, glucose, lactate, and alcohol. The sensing element for each analyte consists of a PtOEP-doped PS oxygen sensor, and a solution containing the oxidase enzyme specific to the analyte. Each sensing element is coupled to two individually addressable OLED pixels and a Si photodiode photodetector (PD). (3) Enhancing the integration of the platform, whereby a PD array is also structurally integrated with the OLED array and sensing elements. This enhanced integration is achieved by fabricating an array of amorphous or nanocrystalline Si-based PDs, followed by fabrication of the OLED pixels in the gaps between these Si PDs.

The DO is monitored through its effect on the PL lifetime of the oxygen-sensitive dye Pt octaethylporphyrin (PtOEP) embedded in a polystyrene film. The other analytes are monitored through their oxidation, catalyzed by an appropriate oxidase, which reduces the amount of DO in their vicinity. The OLED pixels are fabricated on a glass substrate; each pixel is typically 2x2 mm(2), with a 2 mm gap between the pixels. Two OLED pixels are associated with the detection of each of the analytes. The pixels are individually addressable, enabling consecutive detection of the different analytes within a few minutes utilizing a single photodetector (PD). Simultaneous detection is achieved by using an array of PDs. The OLED-based sensing array is compact and uniquely simple in its ease of fabrication and integration. Its performance attributes are comparable to those obtained for a single analyte using any excitation source. The potential of small-size, multi-color OLED pixel arrays for multianalyte detection is also discussed. C1 [Cai, Yuankun; Zhou, Zhaoqun; Shinar, Joseph] US DOE, Ames Lab, Ames, IA 50011 USA.

The carbon isotope composition of the bulk sediment and the HPLW parallel each other throughout most of the core, suggesting that terrestrial plants are an important source of organic matter to the sediments, and diagenetic alteration of the bulk sediments is minimal. The current salt marsh began to form 2500 cal yr BP. Low and/or high C-4 marsh plants dominated deposition at 2000 cal yr BP, 700 cal yr BP, and for the last 200 cal yr BP. Expansion of higher high marsh C-3 plants occurred at 1300 and 600 cal yr BP. These major vegetation shifts result from a combination of changes in relative sea-level rise and sediment accumulation rates. Average annual carbon sequestration rates for the last 2500 years approximate 40 g C yr(-1) m(-2), and are in strong agreement with other values published for the Gulf of Maine. Given that Maine salt marshes cover an area of similar to 79 km, they represent an important component of the terrestrial carbon sink. More detailed isotopic and age records from a network of sediment cores at Sprague Marsh are needed to truly evaluate the long term changes in salt marsh plant communities and the impact of more recent human activity, including global warming, on salt marsh vegetation.

Heteroaromatic building blocks (carbazole, dibenzofuran and dibenzothiophene) with E-T similar to 3 eV were incorporated into phosphine oxide (PO) structures. External quantum efficiencies (EQEs) at lighting brightness (i.e., 800 cd/m(2)) reached as high as 9.8% at 5.2V for OLEDs using the heteroaromatic PO hosts doped with the sky blue phosphor, iridium(III)bis(4,6-(di-fluorophenyl)-pyridinato-N,C-2,C-) picolinate (FIrpic). Comparing device properties at a similar current density (i.e., J = 13 mA/cm(2))) showed the dibenzothiophene-bridged PO compound exhibits the highest EQEs and lowest operating voltages at all phosphor dopant levels. These results are explained with respect to the effects of the inductive phosphine oxide substituents on electrochemical, photophysical and electroluminescence properties of the substituted heteroaromatic building blocks.

In all but the DPVBi OLEDs, the narrowed emission band emerges above a threshold thickness of the emitting layer, and narrows down to a full width at half maximum of only 5 - 10 nm. The results demonstrate that this narrowed emission is due to irregular waveguide modes that leak from the ITO to the glass substrate at a grazing angle. While measurements of variable stripe length ( devices exhibit an apparent weak optical, gain, there is no observable threshold current or bias associated with this spectral narrowing. It is suspected that the apparent weak optical gain is due to misalignment of the axis of the waveguided mode and the axis of the collection lens of the probe, but it is not clear if such a misalignment can account for the for the observed evolution of the edge emission spectra with l.

To maximize the power efficiency one must optimize charge injection, carrier transport, and radiative quantum efficiency, while minimizing energy losses. In this work we discuss how isoelectronic dopants can be used to address these problems. It can be difficult to produce efficient electrical contacts, particularly to large energy gap organic materials, and thus the contacts often limit the performance and stability of OLEDs. Recent results by several groups have attributed improved hole injection in poly (9,9' dioctylfluorene) [PFO] based LEDs to charge trapping, but the origin of the traps is unknown. In order to understand the role of traps in improving injection we studied poly[2-methoxy, 5-(2'-methyl-hexyloxy)-1,4-phenylene vinylene] (MEH-PPV) devices with C-60 molecules at the anode to improve hole injection. Isoelectronic dopants are used widely as recombination centers in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). In these systems one wants to maximize quantum efficiency by effectively trapping charges on the emitting dopants, while at the same time maximizing power efficiency by maintaining good charge transport. An understanding of the influence of the depth of the dopant on charge capture, and charge transport will aid in optimizing doped organic LEDs. We have looked at the OLED system consisting of the polymer PFO, and the organometallic molecule PhqIr. We show that PhqIr acts as a shallow hole trap in PFO, and that the charge transport and luminescence properties of this system are described by quasi-equilibrium statistics. C1 [Crone, B.

Additionally, advanced fabrication methods have led to the development of metal based micro-wiregrid polarizers utilizing submicron features. Adapting these fabrication approaches for use with polymer materials leads to optical polarizers with unique properties. The patterning of conductive polymers with the small features required for wiregrid polarizers leads to several challenges. First, the deposition of the polymer must provide a layer thick enough to provide a polarizer with a useful extinction ratio that also has high conductivity and environmental stability. Two deposition approaches have been investigated, spin coating and electrochemical growth, and results of this work will be presented. Also, the polymers considered here are not compatible with basic photoresist processes. Various tactics have been examined to overcome this difficulty including the use of hard bakes of the polymer, protective overcoats and patterned growth.

These high-throughput technological advances are fueling a revolution in biology, enabling analyses at the scale of entire systems (e.g., whole cells, tumors, or environmental communities). However, simply identifying the proteins in a cell is insufficient for understanding the underlying complexity and operating mechanisms of the overall system. Systems level investigations generating large-scale global data are relying more and more on computational analyses, especially in the field of proteomics.

This matter is the dominant contribution to the low x part of a hadron wavefunction. In collisions, this mater almost instantaneously turns into a Glasma. The Glasma initially has strong longitudinal color electric and magnetic fields, with topological charge. These fields melt into gluons. Due to instabilities, quantum noise is converted into classical turbulence, which may be responsible for the early thermalization seen in heavy ion collisions at RHIC.

We review the case that the eigenfunctions of realistic relativistic nuclear mean fields approximately conserve pseudospin symmetry in nuclei. We discuss the implications of pseudospin symmetry for magnetic dipole transitions and Gamow-Teller transitions between states in pseudospin doublets. We explore a more fundamental rationale for pseudospin symmetry in terms of quantum chromodynamics (QCD), the basic theory of the strong interactions. We show that pseudospin symmetry in nuclei implies spin symmetry for an anti-nucleon in a nuclear environment. We also discuss the future and what role pseudospin symmetry may be expected to play in an effective field theory of nucleons. C1 Los Alamos Natl Lab, Div Theoret, MS B283, Los Alamos, NM 87545 USA.

The order parameter for the symmetry breaking is the trace of the Wilson line wrapping around the compact dimension, which acquires an imaginary part in the broken phase. We show that a physical signature for the symmetry breaking is a persistent baryonic current wrapping in the compact directions. The existence of such a current is derived analytically at first order in perturbation theory and confirmed in the non-perturbative regime by lattice simulations.

These techniques evolved from single-frequency millimeter-wave holographic imaging methods to wideband three-dimensional planar and cylindrical techniques and systems. The single-frequency holographic method was derived from optical and ultrasonic holography techniques. Speckle is highly significant in this case, and is caused by constructive and destructive interference from multiple scattering locations or depths within a single resolution cell. The wideband three-dimensional techniques developed at PNNL significantly reduce the speckle effect through the use of high depth resolution obtained from the wide bandwidth of the illumination. For these techniques, speckle can still be significant in some cases and affect image quality. In this paper, we explore the situations in which speckle occurs and its relationship to lateral and depth resolution. This will be accomplished through numerical simulation and demonstrated in actual imaging results. Speckle may also play a significant role in altering reflection spectra in wideband terahertz spectra. Reflection from rough surfaces will generate speckle, which will result in significant variation in the reflection spectrum as measured over very wide bandwidths. This effect may make if difficult to interpret spectral absorption features from general reflectance data. In this paper, physical optics numerical simulation techniques will be used to model the reflection from arbitrary random surfaces and explore the effect of the surface on the reflection spectra and reconstructed image. Laboratory imaging and numerical modeling results in the millimeter-wave through the terahertz frequency ranges are presented.

These scintillating alloys exhibit high luminosity and proportional response, making them the first scintillators comparable to room temperature semiconductors for gamma spectroscopy; Ce(III) activated lanthanum. bromide has recently enabled scintillating gamma ray spectrometers with < 3% FWHM energy resolutions at 662 keV. However brittle fracture of these materials impedes development of large volume crystals. Low fracture stress and perfect cleavage along prismatic planes cause material cracking during and after crystal growth. These and other properties pose challenges for material production and post processing; therefore, understanding mechanical behavior is key to fabricating large single crystals, and engineering of robust detectors and systems. Recent progress on basic structure and properties of the lanthanide halides is reported here, including thermomechanical and thermogravimetric analyses, hygroscopicity, yield strength, and fracture toughness. Observations including reversible hydrate formation under atmospheric pressure, loss of stoichiometry at high temperature, anisotropic thermal expansion, reactivity towards common crucible materials, and crack initiation and propagation under applied loads are reported. The fundamental physical and chemical properties of this system introduce challenges for material processing, scale-up, and detector fabrication. Analysis of the symmetry and crystal structure of this system suggests possible mechanisms for deformation and crack initiation under stress. The low c/a ratio and low symmetry relative to traditional scintillators indicate limited and highly anisotropic plasticity cause redistribution of residual process stress to cleavage planes, initiating fracture. This proposed failure mechanism and its implications for scale up to large diameter crystal growth are also discussed. C1 [Doty, F. P.] Sandia Natl Labs, Livermore, CA 94550 USA.

The dehydration process involves heating in vacuum through three phase changes - hydrate, amorphous, and crystalline LaBr3. Incomplete removal of the bound water leads to the formation of oxybromides and the partial reduction of the lanthanum at high temperatures. It was found that upon the completion of dehydration (< 200 degrees C) a complete solid solution can be formed between LaBr3 and CeBr3. These two compounds form a simple binary phase diagram. Challenges associated with the dehydration process are discussed.

Semiconducting organics can offer direct detection because of high resistivity, high dielectric strength, natural gamma discrimination due to low Z, and room temperature operation. However, the effective charge collection is dependant on several material processing variables, including solvent choice and concentration, substrate, deposition method and conditions, post-deposition processing, and other factors, all of which can influence the local and bulk order of the material. We have investigated the effects of processing variables on the material order through infrared dichroism. The charge collection of the device was measured with visible laser excitation, and related to the order. C1 [Wilson, Tiffany M. S.; Doty, F.

A CaF2:Eu scintillation detector was constructed to identify whether energy dependent differences in (n,p) and (n,alpha) cross sections could be exploited to distinguish fission neutrons from DD neutrons in an active interrogation system. Experimentally, the charged particles are difficult to distinguish from the significantly larger number of gamma-rays produced in (n,gamma) reactions. In addition, modeling results show that fission neutrons produce only slightly higher charged particle production rates than D-D neutrons. For charged particle production in CaF2:Eu to succeed in fission neutron detection, a superior gamma-ray discrimination technique is required.

The goal was to develop a polycrystalline LaBr3:Ce, which can be processed from ceramic forming techniques and can be produced in large size scintillator panels with lower cost and high production rate. Three high purity raw powders were used as the starting materials including LaBr3, LaCl3, and CeBr3- Powder characteristics were measured. A melt spinning method was used to synthesize the nanoparticle LaBr3:Ce with stoichiometric compositions. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized and the average particle size of the synthesized nanoparticle LaBr3:Ce was about 50 nm. The melt spun powders were consolidated using a "Nanosintering" method to achieve a high density while maintaining the stoichiometric composition. The grain size of the sintered polycrystalline is about 50 nm, which shows no grain growth during the densification process. C1 [Chen, C.

The primary purpose of imaging ICF targets at that National Ignition Facility (NIF), sited at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Livermore, California, is to determine the asymmetry of the fuel in an imploded ICF target. The image data are then combined with other nuclear information to gain insight into the laser and radiation conditions used to drive the target. This information is requisite to understanding the physics of Inertial Confinement Fusion targets and provides a failure mode diagnostic used to optimize the conditions of experiments aimed at obtaining ignition.

Towards this goal the development of a model-based, Bayesian sequential data processor for the detection problem is discussed. In the sequential processor each datum (detector energy deposit and pulse arrival time) is used to update the posterior probability distribution over the space of model parameters. The nature of the sequential processor approach is that a detection is produced as soon as it is statistically justified by the data rather than waiting for a fixed counting interval before any analysis is performed. In this paper the Bayesian model-based approach, physics and signal processing models and decision functions are discussed along with the first results of our research.

The aim of this presentation is to describe recent work using molecular simulation methods to model the structure, stability and reactivity of mineral surfaces and how the simulation of these properties can be used to predict morphologies. Initially, we will describe how molecular simulation techniques can be used to give a reliable description of the surfaces. One of the significant contributions that atom-based simulation methods can make is in the investigation of competitive adsorption of impurities at surfaces and several examples are shown. Finally, two approaches for increasing the scope and reliability of the simulations are discussed, namely, electronic structure calculations, which enable us to explore the mineral surface stoichiometry and potential-based molecular dynamics simulations, which introduce dynamical contribution to the surface processes and hence allows for detailed characterization of the mineral-water interface.

Various aspects of solution crystal growth have been directly visualized for the first time. These include island nucleation and growth using transmission electron microscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy; elemental step motion using scanning probe microscopy; and the time evolution of interfacial atomic structure using various diffraction techniques. In this lecture we will discuss the use of one such in situ method, scanning probe microscopy, as a means of measuring surface dynamics during crystal growth and dissolution. We will cover both practical aspects of imaging such as environmental control, fluid flow, and electrochemical manipulation, as well as the types of physical measurements that can be made. Measurements such as step motion, critical lengths, nucleation density, and step fluctuations, will be put in context of the information they provide about mechanistic processes at surfaces using examples from metal and mineral crystal growth.

Conversely, the failure to prevent or limit tissue mineralization in the vascular, skeletal, and urinary systems is a common source of disease. Understanding the mechanisms by which organisms direct or limit crystallization has long been a central challenge to the biomineralization community. One prevailing view is that mineral-associated macromolecules are responsible for either inhibiting crystallization or initiating and stabilizing non-equilibrium crystal polymorphs and morphologies through interactions between anionic moieties and cations in solution or at mineralizing surfaces. In particular, biomolecules that present carboxyl groups to the growing crystal have been implicated as primary modulators of growth. Here we review the results from a combination of in situ atomic force microscopy (AFM) and molecular modeling (MM) studies to investigate the effect of specific interactions between carboxylate-rich biomolecules and atomic steps on crystal surfaces during the growth of carbonates, oxalates and phosphates of calcium. Specifically, we how the growth kinetics and morphology depend on the concentration of additives that include citrate, simple amino acids, synthetic Asp-rich polypeptides, and naturally occurring Asp-rich proteins found in both functional and pathological mineral tissues. The results reveal a consistent picture of shape modification in which stereochemical matching of modifiers to specific atomic steps drives shape modification. Inhibition and other changes in growth kinetics are shown to be due to a range of mechanisms that depend on chemistry and molecular size. Some effects are well described by classic crystal growth theories, but others, such as step acceleration due to peptide charge and hydrophylicity, were previously unrealized. Finally, we show that the molecular scale observations are well correlated with macroscopic growth rate data. C1 Lawrence Livermore Natl Lab, Chem Mat & Life Sci Directorate, Livermore, CA 94551 USA.

We describe here how regular patterns can be obtained in porous alumina and hydroxyapatite (HAP) by controlling the freezing of ceramic slurries followed by subsequent ice sublimation and sintering, leading to multilayered porous ceramic structures with homogeneous and well-defined architecture. These porous materials can be infiltrated with a second phase of choice to yield biomimetic nacre-like composites with improved mechanical properties, which could be used for artificial bone and teeth applications. Proper control of the solidification patterns provides powerful means of control over the final functional properties. We discuss the relationships between the experimental results, ice growth fundamentals, the physics of ice and the interaction between inert particles and the solidification front during directional freezing.

An important finding is the dual character of the f-electrons as either localized or band-like. A finite temperature generalisation is presented and applied to the study of the p-T phase diagram of the alpha up arrow gamma phase transition in Ce.

It is also vital for interpreting the results of planetary observations, in particular those of the gas giants, and also for various materials science applications. On a fundamental level, increasing pressure causes the redistribution of the electronic density, which results in a modification of the interatomic potentials followed by a consequent qualitative change in the character of the associated bonding. Ultimately, at sufficiently high pressure, one may anticipate a transformation to a homogeneously bonded material possessing unusual physical properties (e.g. a quantum fluid). As temperature increases so does the concentration of ionised species leading ultimately to a plasma. Considerable improvements have recently been made in both the corresponding experimental and theoretical investigations. Here we review recent results for hydrogen and water that reveal unexpected routes of transformation to nonmolecular materials. We stress the importance of quantum effects, which remain significant even at high temperatures. C1 Carnegie Inst Washington, Geophys Lab, Washington, DC 20015 USA.

First principle calculations of formic acid under isotropic pressure up to 70 GPa reveal the existence of a polymerization phase around 20 GPa, in support of recent IR, Raman, and XRD experiments. In this phase, covalent bonding develops between molecules of the same chain through symmetrization of hydrogen bonds. We also performed molecular dynamics simulations of water at pressures up to 115 GPa and 2000 K. Along this isotherm, we are able to define three different phases. We observe a molecular fluid phase with superionic diffusion of the hydrogens for pressure 34-58 GPa. We report a transformation to a phase dominated by transient networks of symmetric O-H hydrogen bonds at 95-115 GPa. As in formic acid, the network can be attributed to the symmetrization of the hydrogen bond, similar to the ice VII-ice X transition. C1 Lawrence Livermore Natl Lab, Livermore, CA 94551 USA.

TI Fracturing a nanoparticle SO PHILOSOPHICAL MAGAZINE LA English DT Article ID SILICON CLUSTERS; SIZE; TEMPERATURE; PLASTICITY; DEPOSITION; STRENGTH; TEM AB Conventional wisdom and indirect studies suggest that the mechanical properties of nanoparticles can be considerably different than their bulk properties would predict. However, little is actually known about their mechanical behaviour because of the practical difficulties in investigating individual particles. Direct experimental studies of these properties require knowledge of the crystallographic orientation, size and microstructure of the nanoparticle in order to be complete. By deforming a single nanoparticle in the transmission electron microscope we have been able to determine each of these parameters of an isolated silicon nanoparticle a priori. With this approach, we could then directly examine dynamic deformation processes and demonstrate the first direct observation of plasticity-induced cleavage fracture of a silicon nanoparticle in compression.

TI Fundamental understanding of Na-induced high temperature embrittlement in Al-Mg alloys SO PHILOSOPHICAL MAGAZINE LA English DT Article ID TRACE IMPURITIES; MAGNESIUM ALLOYS; SODIUM; DUCTILITY AB Sodium is an undesirable impurity in aluminium - magnesium alloys. In trace amounts it leads to high temperature embrittlement (HTE), due to intergranular fracture, which results in edge cracking during hot rolling. In the present work, the results of a thermodynamic investigation to elucidate the mechanism are presented. Correlations between HTE, phase formation, temperature and composition in Al-Mg alloys were determined. It is suggested that: (i) HTE is related to the formation of an intergranular Na-rich liquid phase, which significantly weakens the strength of grain boundaries; (ii) for a given Mg content, there exists a maximum Na content above which HTE cannot be avoided; and (iii) for a given alloy, a proper hot-rolling temperature should be chosen with respect to Na and Mg contents to suppress HTE. The HTE sensitive zone and a hot-rolling safe zone of Al-Mg-Na alloys are defined as functions of processing temperature and alloy composition. The tendency of HTE formation was evaluated based on thermodynamic simulations of phase fraction of the intergranular Na-rich liquid phase.

BOPs represent a semi-empirical, numerically efficient scheme that works within the orthogonal tight-binding approximation and is able to capture the directionality of bonding. We have studied dislocation glide in perfect L10 TiAl and along a twin interface, transmission of an ordinary screw dislocation between lamellae, and the core structure, mobility and detachment of an interfacial 1/2 [110] screw dislocation from a twin boundary under applied shear stresses in directions parallel and perpendicular to a (111) plane. Our results show that the glide of ordinary 1/2 [110] straight screw dislocations under applied stresses in L1(0) TiAl is characterized by zigzag movement on two conjugated {111} planes. The non-planar core of the 1/2 (110] screw dislocation is distorted asymmetrically when the elastic centre of the dislocation is close to a twin gamma/gamma-interface and the dislocation moves on one of the (111) planes, depending on the magnitude of the corresponding Schmid factor. Ordinary dislocations become ordinary interfacial dislocations when they reach the interface. With increasing applied stress they can glide into the adjacent lamella, leaving no remnant interfacial dislocation.

In GaN/InxGa1-xN/GaN quantum wells with x < 0.1 we find that the sample thickness and the precision to which displacement fields can be extracted from a lattice image determine whether or not it is possible to discriminate between random alloy fluctuations and cluster formation. In miscible alloys such as SiGe or AlGaN a precision of better than 1 pm is required to reveal random alloy fluctuations, which presently exceeds experimental capabilities. In InxGa1-xN with x > 0.1, a precision of about 3 pm suffices to distinguish random alloy fluctuations from indium clusters that are present. Thick InxGa1-xN layers with x = 0.6 and x = 0.7 show phase separation with a wavelength between 2 and 4 nm and a fluctuation amplitude of Delta x = 0.10 and 0.15, respectively. This produces striped composition fluctuations, which are modulated by dot-like structures. The similarity of the fluctuation magnitudes in quantum wells and thick layers suggests that spinodal decomposition occurs in both materials and our results place the centre of the miscibility gap around x = 0.5-0.6.

These GaN nanowire LEDs have bright UV-blue emission (411-437 nm) from the n-GaN nanowire/p-GaN substrate junction and the light emission is strong enough to be observed with the naked eye even for a single GaN nanowire LED.

Based on results from three-dimensional dislocation dynamics simulations, we find that employing the accurate, full-dynamics, equation of motion (i.e. that includes inertial effects) significantly changes the predictions of microstructural evolution and the macroscopic response compared to the commonly used overdamped equation of motion (i.e. with no inertial effects), especially at high strain rates (10(3)-10(6) s(-1)). While we find that inertial effects cannot be neglected, the net velocities are not high enough that 'relativistic' effects are important. We also present results on the effects of high strain rates on single-crystal deformation, which show good agreement with experimental trends, including increased hardening with increasing strain rate.

The results of these measurements are in good agreement with previous measurements and with recent calculations. We have used the results of our measurements to estimate the melting point of ZrC with the Lindemann rule and obtain an estimate of 4000 K, in good agreement with the measured melting point of 3700K of this highly refractory material.

TI Incorporating anisotropic electronic structure in crystallographic determination of complex metals: iron and plutonium SO PHILOSOPHICAL MAGAZINE LA English DT Article ID CRYSTAL-STRUCTURES; MAGNETIC ORDER; ALLOYS; PHASE; SPECTROSCOPY; TEMPERATURE; ALUMINUM; ELEMENTS; SOLIDS; CERIUM AB Anisotropic electronic structure is incorporated in crystallographic determination of the structure of ferromagnetic Fe, delta-Pu and a Pu-3.7 at% Ga alloy. This is achieved by using anisotropic aspects of the inter-atomic bonds as a motif in combination with the high-symmetry cubic lattice. In the case of Fe, it is shown that ferromagnetic ordering reduces the symmetry of the structure from body centred cubic to body centred tetragonal with an associated effect on elasticity. Thus, the ferromagnetic alpha- and paramagnetic beta- phase are separate and unique phases that should both be addressed on the Fe phase diagrams. In the case of Pu, first-principles density-functional theory calculations are used to show that the bond strengths between the 12 nearest neighbours in delta-plutonium vary greatly. Employing the calculated bond strengths as a motif in crystallographic determination yields a structure with the monoclinic space group Cm for delta-Pu rather than face-centred cubic Fm (3) over barm. The reduced space group for delta-Pu illuminates why it is the only metal with a monoclinic ground state, why lattice distortions of the metal are viable and has implications for the behaviour of the material as it ages due to self-irradiation. Results for a Pu-3.7 at% Ga alloy show that the nearest neighbour bond strengths around a Ga atom are more uniform - a result that explains why Ga stabilizes face-centred cubic delta-Pu. This paper illustrates how an expansion of classical crystallography, which accounts for anisotropic electronic and magnetic structure, can explain complex materials in a novel way.

Submonolayers of Ag prepared by deposition at 365K and with a flux of 1 x 10(-3) monolayers/s exhibit a variation in Ag island densities across different terraces. Comparisons with previous work and with rate equation analysis indicate that trap sites are not saturated under these experimental conditions and that the difference in island densities is not necessarily due to variation in trap densities. While it could have a number of different origins, our results point to a terrace-dependent value of the effective diffusion barrier for Ag adatoms.

TI Chemical order in off-stoichiometric Ni-Mn-Ga ferromagnetic shape-memory alloys studied with neutron diffraction SO PHILOSOPHICAL MAGAZINE LA English DT Article ID NI2MNGA SINGLE-CRYSTALS; FIELD-INDUCED STRAIN; MAGNETIC-FIELD; HEUSLER ALLOYS; TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENCE; PHASE AB The chemical order of three off-stoichiometry Ni-Mn-Ga compositions has been measured in the austenitic phase using powder and single-crystal neutron diffraction. The compositions studied, 48-52 at.% nickel, having excess manganese and deficient in gallium, are of technical interest due to the observed large room-temperature, magnetic-field-induced strain. It has been determined that compositions with less than 50% nickel have the excess Mn atoms occupying Ni and Ga sites. Compositions enriched in nickel are best fit with Ni atoms in excess of 50% occupying Mn sites while the excess and displaced Mn occupy Ga sites. The saturation magnetic moments calculated from the site occupations determined here and using Ni and Mn moments reported for Ni2MnGa, agree within 4% with the low-temperature measured moments.

Effects of cluster size, atomic structure, dislocation nature of the cluster side and temperature are investigated. A vacancy can recombine with any interstitial in small clusters and this does not affect cluster mobility. With increasing sizes clusters develop dislocation character and their interaction with vacancies depends on whether the cluster sides dissociate into partial dislocations. A vacancy recombines only on undissociated sides and corners created with undissociated segments. Vacancies inside the cluster perimeter do not recombine but restrict cluster mobility. Temperature enhances recombination by either increasing the number of recombination sites or assisting vacancy diffusion towards such sites. The results are discussed with relevance to differences in irradiation microstructure evolution of bcc, fcc and hcp metals and higher level theoretical modelling techniques.

TI Nanoindentation properties and the microstructure of grain boundary precipitate-free zones (PFZs) in an AlCuSiGe alloy SO PHILOSOPHICAL MAGAZINE LA English DT Article ID SI-GE-CU; AL-SI; ELECTRON-MICROSCOPE; METALS; DYNAMICS; VICINITY; SYSTEM; STEELS; MG AB We have characterized the nanoscale mechanical properties of grain boundary precipitate-free zones (PFZ's) in an AlCuSiGe alloy, using combined nanoindentation and in-situ atomic force microscopy (AFM). These mechanical properties were then correlated to the composition, precipitate distribution and, indirectly, to the vacancy concentration within these regions, as analyzed by transmission electron microscopy and spectroscopy. Using these results we constructed a structure-zone map of the area adjacent to the grain boundary, which relates the reduced elastic modulus and nanoindentation hardness of the alloy to its graded microstructure. Our analysis indicates that the lowest hardness was found in the region where no precipitates are present at all, regardless of solute concentration. In regions where precipitation is different from that of the bulk, somewhat inferior mechanical properties are achieved.

TI Simulation of plasticity in nanocrystalline silicon SO PHILOSOPHICAL MAGAZINE LA English DT Article ID MOLECULAR-DYNAMICS SIMULATION; MODEL ATOMIC GLASS; AMORPHOUS-SILICON; STRUCTURAL RELAXATIONS; DEFORMATION; TRANSITION; METALS AB Molecular dynamics investigation of plasticity in a model nanocrystalline silicon system demonstrates that inelastic deformation localizes in intergranular regions. The carriers of plasticity in these regions are atomic environments, which can be described as high-density liquid-like amorphous silicon. During fully developed flow, plasticity is confined to system-spanning intergranular zones of easy flow. As an active flow zone rotates out of the plane of maximum resolved shear stress during deformation to large strain, new zones of easy flow are formed. Compatibility of the microstructure is accommodated by processes such as grain rotation and formation of new grains. Nano-scale voids or cracks may form if stress concentrations emerge which cannot be relaxed by a mechanism that simultaneously preserves microstructural compatibility.

The method is based on a linearization scheme, making explicit use of the covariance of the fluctuations of the local fields in a certain linear comparison material, whose properties are, in turn, determined by means of a suitably designed variational principle. We discuss the differences between this second-order approach and several first-order self-consistent (SC) formulations ( secant, tangent and affine approximations) by comparing their predictions with exact full-field solutions. We do so for crystals with different symmetries, as a function of anisotropy, number of independent slip systems and degree of non-linearity. In this comparison, the second-order estimates show the best overall agreement with the full-field solutions. Finally, the different SC approaches are applied to simulate texture evolution in two strongly heterogeneous systems and, in both cases, the SO formulation yields results in better agreement with experimental evidence than the first-order approximations. In the case of cold-rolling of low-SFE fcc polycrystals, the SO formulation predicts the formation of a texture with most of the characteristic features of a brass-type texture. In the case of polycrystalline ice, deforming in uniaxial compression to large strain, the SO predicts a substantial and persistent accommodation of deformation by basal slip, even when the basal poles become strongly aligned with the compression direction.

TI Estimating the strength of single-ended dislocation sources in micron-sized single crystals SO PHILOSOPHICAL MAGAZINE LA English DT Article ID UNIAXIAL COMPRESSION; PLASTICITY; SCALE; DEFORMATION; SIMULATION; DYNAMICS AB Three-dimensional (3D) discrete dislocation dynamics simulations were used to calculate the effects of anisotropy of dislocation line tension ( increasing Poisson's ratio, nu) on the strength of single-ended dislocation sources in micron-sized volumes with free surfaces and to compare them with the strength of double-ended sources of equal length. Their plastic response was directly modelled within a 1 mu m(3) volume composed of a single crystal fcc metal. In general, double-ended sources are stronger than single-ended sources of an equal length and exhibit no significant effects from truncating the long-range elastic fields at this scale. The double-ended source strength increases with nu, exhibiting an increase of about 50% at nu = 0.38 ( value for Ni) as compared to the value at nu=0. Independent of dislocation line direction, for nu greater than 0.20, the strengths of single-ended sources depend upon the sense of the stress applied. The value for alpha in the expression for strength, tau = alpha(L)mu b/L is shown to vary from 0.4 to 0.84 depending on the character of the dislocation and the direction of operation of the source at nu = 0.38 and L = 933b. By varying the lengths of the sources from 933 to 233b, it was shown that the scaling of the strength of single-ended and double-ended sources with their length both follow a ln(L/b)/(L/b) dependence. Surface image stresses are shown to have little effect on the critical stress of single-ended sources at a length of similar to 250b or greater. This suggests that for 3D discrete dislocation dynamics simulations of the plastic deformation of micron-sized crystals in the size range 0.5-20 mu m, image stresses making the surface traction-free can be neglected. The relationship between these findings and a recent statistical model for the hardening of small volumes is discussed. C1 Air Force Res Lab, AFRL MLLM, Wright Patterson AFB, OH 45433 USA.

TI Disconnections in simple and complex structures SO PHILOSOPHICAL MAGAZINE LA English DT Article ID HCP METALS; INTERFACES; DEFECTS; DISLOCATIONS; TRANSFORMATIONS; CRYSTALLOGRAPHY; BOUNDARY; STRESS; GROWTH; FIELDS AB Disconnections are interfacial defects with dislocation and step character; for example, twinning dislocations in homo-phase and transformation dislocations in hetero-phase materials. They play important structural roles and are classified as either 'perfect', separating energetically degenerate regions of interface, or 'partial', bounding a faulted region. In kinetic mechanisms, disconnection motion can be glissile, by conservative climb or climb. In the present paper, disconnection mobility is analyzed in terms of shear and shuffle-type atomic displacements and diffusional flux. This is applied to a sequence of hetero-phase materials with increasing structural complexity, namely the beta to alpha transformation in Ti, theta' precipitation in Al(Cu) and the orthorhombic to monoclinic martensitic transformation in ZrO2. A disconnection source mechanism in Ti, involving conservative climb, is also described. C1 Univ Liverpool, Dept Engn, Liverpool L69 3BX, Merseyside, England.

Oxygen vacancies are found to play a significant role in determining the microstructure and phase evolution. Pure zirconia thin films of similar to 52nm thickness were stabilized without any dopants at room temperature, whereas they transformed into a tetragonal phase upon heating to 400 degrees C. On the other hand, 9.5% yttria doping enables stabilization of the cubic structure regardless of grain growth. Annealing of amorphous YDZ films in air (oxygen-rich) leads to tetragonal phase formation, whereas ultrahigh vacuum (oxygen-deficient) annealed samples display a cubic phase at high temperature. Detailed discussions on the effects of initial microstructure, oxygen deficiency, aliovalent doping and thickness are presented.

Mag. Lett. 85 51 (2005)], were examined in detail for gamma - gamma' Ni alloys. A total of 40 pairs in 10 quartets were used to provide a statistical analysis. The frequency of out-of-phase pairs is 78%. It was found that none of the 10 quartets examined had constituting gamma' particles belonging to the same translational order domain. Consequently, there were always Lit least two out-of-phase adjacent pairs in any quartet. It is concluded that the quartet split patterns in gamma - gamma' Ni alloys are not caused by the splitting of gamma' particles, but are produced by the migration of particles due to diffusion, these particles having been precipitated separately and independently prior to migration. Ail elasticity calculation is provided to show that two gamma' particles migrate to align along (001) when their initial position deviates from this direction.

Its low thermal neutron absorption makes it uniquely suited for the latter application. Surprisingly, currently used interatomic potentials do not encapsulate the unique properties of Zr, namely its high stacking-fault energy, anomolous self-diffusion, melting and phase transformation under temperature and pressure ( or alloying). Ab initio calculations have shown deficiencies in the description of point defects, both vacancies and interstitials, using existing interatomic potentials, deficiencies that can now be rectified by refitting. Here, we show the calculation of phase transitions self-consistently and present a potential for Zr that correctly reproduces the energetics of our extended database of ab initio configurations and high-temperature phase transitions. The potential has an analytic many-body form, making it suitable for existing large-scale MD codes. We also present a best-fit potential for the hcp structure and its defects.

TI Influence of interface migration during annealing of martensite/austenite mixtures SO PHILOSOPHICAL MAGAZINE LETTERS LA English DT Article ID AUSTENITE; CARBON AB Tempering of martensite in the absence of carbide precipitation leads to carbon partitioning into retained austenite. If the martensite/austenite interface is assumed to remain stationary during this process, the phase compositions reach a condition that has recently been called constrained carbon equilibrium. If iron atoms are sufficiently mobile at the interface, longer partitioning times may lead to migration of the ferrite/ austenite interface. The interface may be expected to move in either direction, depending on the specific details of the phase fractions and compositions controlling the chemical potential of iron at the interface. If interface migration occurs during carbon partitioning, the situation is more complicated and conditions could exist where the interface moves first in one direction and then the other.

Several reactions were observed, the result depending on cluster orientation and location relative to the glide plane of the twinning dislocation. They include: (i) restriction of twin boundary mobility; (ii) change of cluster orientation and shape; (iii) glissile cluster drag by the boundary without contact; and (iv) total or partial absorption of a cluster by the twin boundary and cluster drag, together with simultaneous glide along the interface. It is concluded that the applied shear stress for motion of twin boundaries is raised by interaction with point defect clusters. Furthermore, moving twin boundaries act as defect sinks or recombination centres and provide a means for removing defects from regions of radiation damage.

McLean, W., II TI ToF-SIMS characterization of uranium hydride SO PHILOSOPHICAL MAGAZINE LETTERS LA English DT Article ID CORRELATION-ENERGY; DENSITY; APPROXIMATION; ION; EXCHANGE AB Time-of-flight secondary-ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) has been employed for the first time to investigate uranium hydride. The deuterated form of uranium hydride (UD3) was formed on a polycrystalline uranium sample by exposure to high-purity D-2 gas at room temperature. The characteristic positive and negative secondary-ion fragments observed from uranium hydride are reported and assigned. Our investigations show that negative-ion fragments provide the most unambiguous method for identification of uranium hydride, through the detection of UH2- and UH4- fragments. In addition, density functional theory (DFT) calculations are presented which confirm the identity and stability of, and also assign structural geometries to, the ion fragments observed within the SIMS experiment. The DFT calculations show that UH2+/- ions adopt a linear arrangement, whereas positive tri- and tetrahydride ions ( UH3+, UH4+) adopt structures based on square planar geometries, although negative tri- and tetrahydride ions (UH3-, UH4-) adopt structures based on tetrahedral geometries.

TI Interactive effects of solar UV radiation and climate change on biogeochemical cycling SO PHOTOCHEMICAL & PHOTOBIOLOGICAL SCIENCES LA English DT Review ID DISSOLVED ORGANIC-MATTER; ULTRAVIOLET-B RADIATION; SOUTHEASTERN UNITED-STATES; ELEVATED ATMOSPHERIC CO2; PHOTO-FENTON REACTION; BIRCH BETULA-PENDULA; TIERRA-DEL-FUEGO; NATURAL-WATERS; CARBON-DIOXIDE; METHYL-BROMIDE AB This report assesses research on the interactions of UV radiation (280-400 nm) and global climate change with global biogeochemical cycles at the Earth's surface. The effects of UV-B (280-315 nm), which ate dependent on the stratospheric ozone layer, on biogeochemical cycles are often linked to concurrent exposure to UV-A radiation (315-400 nm), which is influenced by global climate change. These interactions involving UV radiation (the combination of UV-B and UV-A) are central to the prediction and evaluation of future Earth environmental conditions. There is increasing evidence that elevated UV-B radiation has significant effects on the terrestrial biosphere with implications for the cycling of carbon, nitrogen and other elements. The cycling of carbon and inorganic nutrients such as nitrogen can be affected by UV-B-mediated changes in communities of soil organisms, probably due to the effects of UV-B radiation on plant root exudation and/or the chemistry of dead plant material falling to the soil. In and environments direct photodegraclation can play a major role in the decay of plant litter, and UV-B radiation is responsible for a significant part of this photodegraclation. UV-B radiation strongly influences aquatic carbon, nitrogen, sulfur and metals cycling that affect a wide range of life processes. UV-B radiation changes the biological availability of dissolved organic matter to microorganisms, and accelerates its transformation into dissolved inorganic carbon and nitrogen, including carbon dioxide and ammonium. The coloured part of dissolved organic matter (CDOM) controls the penetration of UV radiation into water bodies, but CDOM is also photodegraded by solar UV radiation. Changes in CDOM influence the penetration of UV radiation into water bodies with major consequences for aquatic biogeochemical processes. Changes in aquatic primary productivity and decomposition due to climate-related changes in circulation and nutrient supply occur concurrently with exposure to increased UV-B radiation, and have synergistic effects on the penetration of light into aquatic: ecosystems. Future changes in climate will enhance stratification of lakes and the ocean, which will intensify photodegradation of CDOM by UV radiation. The resultant increase in the transparency of water bodies may increase UV-B effects on aquatic biogeochemistry in the surface layer. Changing solar UV radiation and climate also interact to influence exchanges of trace gases, such as halocarbons (e.g., methyl bromide) which influence ozone depletion, and sulfur gases (e.g., dimethylsulfide) that oxidize to produce sulfate aerosols that cool the marine atmosphere. UV radiation affects the biological availability of iron, copper and other trace metals in aquatic environments thus potentially affecting metal toxicity and the growth of phytoplankton and other microorganisms that are involved in carbon and nitrogen cycling. Future changes in ecosystem distribution due to alterations in the physical and chemical climate interact with ozone-modulated changes in UV-B radiation. These interactions between the effects of climate change and UV-B radiation on biogeochemical cycles in terrestrial and aquatic, systems may partially offset the beneficial effects of an ozone recovery.

Characterization by steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy, and transient absorption spectroscopy, demonstrate that the electronic properties of these quantum dots exceed those of the original as-synthesized samples dissolved in a more-conventional organic solvent. Furthermore, these amino acid-stabilized quantum dots have been assembled onto a cellulose substrate via cellulose binding proteins that specifically bind to cellulose and was genetically engineered to harbor dual hexahistidine tags at the N- and C- termini to confer binding with the zinc( II) on the quantum dot surface. The spectroscopic measurements show that the protein-bound quantum dots continue to retain their desirable electronic properties when bound on the substrate. Meanwhile, the specific and very selective binding properties of the proteins have remained effective. C1 Natl Renewable Energy Lab, Golden, CO 80401 USA.

Dramatic improvements in image quality have been made by the replacement of several critical optical elements, and the introduction of scanning illumination to improve uniformity and contrast. We report high quality actinic EUV mask imaging with resolutions as low as 100-nm half-pitch, (20-nm, 5x wafer equivalent size), and an assessment of the imaging performance based on several metrics. Contrast transfer function (CTF) measurements show high contrast imaging for features sizes close to the diffraction-limit. An investigation of the illumination coherence shows that AIT imaging is much more coherent than previously anticipated, with a below 0.2. Flare measurements with several line-widths show a flare contribution on the order of 2-3% relative intensity in dark regions above the 1.3% absorber reflectivity on the test mask used for these experiments. Astigmatism coupled with focal plane tilt are the dominant aberrations we have observed. The AIT routinely records 250-350 high-quality images in numerous through-focus series per 8-hour shift. Typical exposure times range from 0.5 seconds during alignment, to approximately 20 seconds for high-resolution images.

Translation of microwave designs to the infrared is not trivial for several reasons. Properties of applicable IR materials are significantly different than their microwave counterparts. Additionally, the required feature sizes need a completely different fabrication methodology. Our Surfaces are metallic, yet have a high-transmission angular and frequency passband. We take advantage of photon-plasmon interaction to maximize transmission through holes in the metal surface. Simulations have been completed using both rigorous coupled wave analysis and method of moments codes. The design process has followed a path that insures that we are able to fabricate the designed structures considering cases of normal and off-angle incidence. We designed our surfaces to be compatible with shapes that we will etch in silicon and then coat in gold: this process allows the greatest flexibility in etching shapes for vias while maintaining a metallic layer for plasmon propagation on the surface. We anticipate over 90% transmission in the infrared passband. Our design methodology would also be applicable to the 8-12 mu m band. C1 Sandia Natl Labs, Albuquerque, NM 87185 USA.

Fabrication of a snapshot polarization-imaging device involves gluing a micropolarizer array substrate on top of an FPA. We evaluated several arrays of super-cells of four pixelated polarizers by modeling the near fields behind the devices. Each polarizer in the super-cell is oriented to allow solving three Stokes parameters by themselves or four Stokes parameters in conjunction with a birefringent waveplate. In addition, we fabricated sets of super-cells for determining optimum polarizer-FPA separation. Modeling and empirical data indicate cross talk between the adjacent pixels at several microns after crossing the polarizer plane. Cross talk between adjacent pixels increases uncertainty in the measured polarization states of a scene of interest. Data shows that the extinction ratio will decrease by 17% when moving the FPA from 0.5 mu m to 1.0 mu m away from the polarizer. These changes in extinction ratio are important given that typical glue separation is approximately 10 mu m. C1 Sandia Natl Labs, Albuquerque, NM 87185 USA.

After exposing the dark-grown rice seedlings to continuous irradiation, total respiration (V-t), capacity of alternative pathway (V-alt), and their ratio (V-alt/V-t) increased with the greening of leaves. In this process, AOX1c transcript increased under constant irradiation, while AOX1a and AOX1b transcripts were hardly detected. Thus AOX1c in rice presents a similar expression pattern as AOX2 does in many dicotyledonous species during greening development. Compared with the rapid increase of cyanide-resistant respiration in the presence of photon energy, CO2 fixation was not observed until 8 h after the onset of irradiation. The AOX inhibitor salicylhydroxamic acid (SHAM; 1 mM) inhibited 67.3 % of cyanide-in sensitive oxygen uptake in dark-grown leaves and 69.4 % of it in leaves grown under irradiation. Dark-grown plants pre-treated with SHAM were then irradiated for 12 h. SHAM did not obviously modify photosynthetic CO2 fixation rate on a chlorophyll (Chi) content basis in both leaves and simultaneously isolated chloroplasts. Hence during initial greening steps of the plants, the induction of alternative pathway and AOX1 expression by irradiation is not directly linked with carbon assimilation of photosynthesis. The application of SHAM partially limited Chi production in rapidly greening leaves, indicating that Chi synthesis in the process of greening might be medicated to some extent by alternative respiratory pathway.

These temporal correlations are found for all levels of external forcing as long as the system is not overdriven. They arise from the same physical mechanism that produces the temporal correlations found at the vanishing drive limit, namely the memory of past events stored in the system profile. The existence of these correlations contradicts the notion that a SOC time series is simply a random superposition of events with sizes distributed as a power law, as has been suggested by previous studies.

We study how such network architecture affects the average Google rank of individual communities. Using a mean-field approximation, we quantify how the average Google rank of community webpages depend on the degree to which it is isolated from the rest of the world in both incoming and outgoing directions, and alpha the only intrinsic parameter of Google's PageRank algorithm. Based on this expression we introduce a concept of a web-community being decoupled or conversely coupled to the rest of the network. We proceed with empirical study of several internal web-communities within two US universities. The predictions of our mean-field treatment were qualitatively verified in those real-life networks. Furthermore, the value alpha = 0.15 used by Google seems to be optimized for the degree of isolation of communities as they exist in the actual WWW. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

TI Pressure behaviour of the UV and green emission bands in ZnO micro-rods SO PHYSICA STATUS SOLIDI B-BASIC SOLID STATE PHYSICS LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 12th International Conference on High Pressure Semiconductor Physics (HPSP-12) CY JUL 31-AUG 03, 2006 CL Barcelona, SPAIN ID OPTICAL-PROPERTIES; ZINC-OXIDE; PHOTOLUMINESCENCE; NANOWIRES; GROWTH AB The pressure behavior of the ultraviolet (UV) and green emission bands in ZnO tetrapod-like micro-rods has been investigated at 300 and 70 K, respectively. The pressure coefficient of the UV band at 300 K is 24.5 meV/GPa, consistent with that of the band gap of bulk ZnO. However, the pressure coefficient of the green band is 25 meV/GPa, far larger than previous literature reports. The green band in this work originates from Cu-related emission, as confirmed by the fine structure observed in the spectra at 10 K. The pressure coefficients of four phonon replicas of the free exciton emission (FX) at 70 K are 21.0, 20.2, 19.8, and 19.3 meV/GPa, respectively. The energy shift rate of the FX emission and the LO phonon energies is then determined to be 21.4 and 0.55 meV/GPa. The pressure coefficient of the neutral donor bound exciton ((DX)-X-0) transition is 20.5 meV/GPa, only 4% smaller than that of FX. This confirms that the (DX)-X-0 emission corresponds to excitons bound to neutral shallow donors. (C) 2007 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.

Bundles of SWNTs are studied inside a diamond anvil high pressure cell with micro-Raman scattering. The tube diameter and size distribution are determined from the radial breathing modes (RBM) of the tubes. The pressure coefficient and linewidth of one of the high frequency C-C bond stretching modes was found to change suddenly at similar to 3 GPa which is well below the structural transformation pressure (P-c) for the tubes in our sample. Molecular dynamics simulations were used to calculate the vibrational density of states of SWNTs as a function of pressure. Our simulations suggest that the experimental results can be explained by a softening of a low-frequency optical mode of the SWNTs - the "squashing" mode - and the dynamical effect of this softening on other phonon modes.

The cell parameters were obtained by performing full profile Rietveld refinements of the diffraction data. The equation of state is obtained at low temperatures by fitting the pressure-volume data to a second order Birch Murnaghan eqation and a bulk modulus value of 168(4) GPa is obtained. The results show persistance of the pyrochlore structure up to the maximum pressure studied in the experiment and further indicate that pressure induces solely magnetic ordering which do not involve crystal symmetry changes.

We measured the pressure induced shift of the TO and LO modes of GaP up to the phase transition (I-II) and determined mode Gruneisen parameters of 1.12 and 0.98. The phase transition was observed near to 24.5 GPa. We have also studied the dependence of the vibrational spectrum of the GaP0.979N0.021 up to 20 GPa. The zincblende optical phonons of the ternary alloy show great similarities to those of binary GaP, with no significant changes to the Gruneisen parameters or the phase transition. The pressure-induced shift of local nitrogen mode frequency in GaP0.979N0.021 was studied up to 10 GPa and found to be considerably larger than that of the phonon modes in GaN, indicating that the local mode does not show a GaN-like behaviour under pressure.

These samples were sprayed on aluminum substrates. They were further subjected to neutral salt treatment for 240 hours for the corrosion test. Doppler broadening of annihilation radiation (DBAR) and positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) were employed to investigate the corrosion effect on the two coatings in addition to their free volume. It was found that there are two layers in the polymer topcoat of sample Al-507A while they were not clearly seen in Al-507B. Interestingly the near-surface layer demonstrates a large change after the salt treatment, suggesting creation of extra free volume. Both DBAR and PALS measurements indicate that the amount of free volume for Al-507B coating is more than that for Al-507A coating, while the free-volume hole size for both coatings are similar, around 0.32 nm.

We grew FM/AF superlattices via a high-pressure sputtering technique on (001) oriented SrTiO3 substrates. We systematically varied the thickness of the ferromagnetic layers, while maintaining a fixed thickness of the antiferromagnetic layers. Alternatively, we also varied the thickness of the antiferromagnetic layers, keeping a fixed ferromagnetic layer thickness. The total superlattice thickness was kept approximately constant. XRD analysis confirms the existence of the superlattice structure by the observation of multiple satellite peaks around the (001) manganite Bragg reflections. We extracted the average lattice parameter of the superlattice and its dependence on the thicknesses of the ferro- and anti ferromagnetic layers. We conducted field cooling (FC) and zero field cooling (ZFC), magneto-thermal, and magneto-resistance measurements. The existence of an exchange bias effect at temperatures below the Neel temperature of the AF layer was revealed by magnetization loops measured after FC. We studied the dependence of magnetic parameters on the thicknesses of the ferro- and anti ferromagnetic layers. We found that the structural, magnetization, and magneto transport properties as functions of F-layer thickness are all correlated. (c) 2007 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinbeim. C1 [Gomez, M.

By contrast, we report on the decisive paramagnetic-ferromagnetic phase transition in CoAl(100) at room temperature, utilizing oxidation of stoichiometric CoAl. We also discuss the control and drastic increase of the coercive field by subsequent annealing of the oxidized sample. The alumina film grown by selective oxidation protects the alloy from oxidation of Co, despite the accumulation of Al vacancies and the resulting enrichment in Co of the metallic phase underneath the oxide film. As a result, a ferromagnetic thin Co-rich phase is formed at the interface between the insulating aluminum oxide and the paramagnetic Co50Al50 bulk. The creation via simple oxidation of a ferromagnetic thin film underneath a surface insulator demonstrates a novel path to building the majority of a magnetic tunnel junction.

However, using non-local lateral devices allows to separate spin and charge currents, which allows the investigation of pure spin-currents. This article reviews the recent developments using non-local spin-dependent measurements and other approaches towards utilizing pure spin-currents.

The spin degenerate current is driven along the c-axis with Au layer using point contact tunneling assembly at 4.2 K. The spin polarized current is also driven along the c-axis of crystals with Au/Co/Au multilayer. In order to understand the role of ferromagnetic layer (Co), quasiparticle branches are examined with and without magnetic field. The magnetic field evolution of switching currents are obtained for gaining further insight about the spin injection through the stack. (c) 2007 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinbeim.

The principal infrared absorption associated with the titanium dopant occurs at 950 cm(-1) in a deep minimum of the host silica absorption. We attribute this to a perturbation of the silica's absorption at 1076 cm(-1) involving oxygen atoms bridging SiO4 and TiO4 tetrahedra. Strong ultraviolet absorptions of Ti4+ occur just below the silica exciton peak between 5.5 and 7.8 eV. We attribute these to charge-transfer transitions at TiO4 tetrahedra; i.e., bound excitons consisting of a Ti3+ ion and a hole shared by four oxygen neighbours. (c) 2007 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

The luminescence emission bands are broadly similar across the spectrum from 250 to 850 nm, although their relative strengths are sensitive to composition and temperature. A UV band near 330 nm is only well resolved in some compositions and a broad line near 700 nm may arise from Cr ions. The presence of low temperature phase transitions within the crystals is evidenced by intensity steps and spectral changes of the cathodoluminescence. Hysteresis is seen, as are domain effects and electric field shifts of the transition temperatures. The cathodoluminescence of the surface material reveals more transitions than are reported from earlier bulk studies. (c) 2007 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim. C1 [Kibar, R.; Nunn, P. J.

Thus, if deleterious defects are removed, it follows that scintillator performance will improve. In the case of REAlO3 perovskites, the oxygen vacancy has been identified as the predominant electron trap site. Previous empirical efforts to minimize the concentration of this particular defect through abovalent doping have been successful. Here we discuss the results of atomic scale simulations that provide important detail regarding the mechanism by which the oxygen vacancy concentration is reduced. Specifically, we describe the complex mobility of oxygen vacancies and interstitials, which governs the recombination of these defects. The results of these simulations will aid in the synthesis of optimized scintillation materials. (c) 2007 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim. C1 [Stanek, C. R.; Uberuaga, B. P.; McClellan, K.

This sesquioxide is characterized by a cubic C-type rare earth structure known as bixbyite. Samples were irradiated with heavy ion Kr + (300 keV) at cryogenic temperature. GIXRD and cross-sectional TEM observations reveal that the ordered body-centered cubic bixbyite structure transforms to a disordered (anion deficient) fluorite structure in this irradiated sesquioxide. This observation is consistent with a radiation-induced disordering process in which the oxygen superlattice associated with the bixbyite structure is destroyed and the material adopts an anion disordered fluorite structure as evidenced by the disappearance of characteristic GIXRD diffraction peaks resulting from ordering of the oxygen superlattice, and similar electron diffraction pattern features.

Photomodulated reflectance spectroscopy (PR) of GaSbxAs1-x shows a reduction of the fundamental bandgap energy as well as an increase of the spin-orbit splitting energy with increasing x. The VBAC model predicts that these shifts are the result of a hybridization of the extended valence band states of GaAs with the localized states of the impurity atoms, which induce an upward movement of the valence band edge. Extrapolation of the model to other III-(Sb,Bi)-V alloys is also discussed. (c) 2007 WILEY-VCH Verlag Gmbh & Co. KGaA, Weinheim. C1 [Alberi, K.; Wu, J.; Walukiewicz, W.; Yu, K. M.; Dubon, O.

One technique consists of ion-implantation through lithographically defined resist, followed by pulsed-laser melting. Planar Hall-bar structures of Ga1-xMnxAs formed by this process show a large anomalous Hall signal along with negative magnetoresistance associated with the well-known hole-mediated ferromagnetic phase. In another technique patterning is achieved by selective hydrogenation of Ga1-xMnxAs, rendering exposed regions electrically insulating and magnetically inactive. The planar nature of these Hall-bars allows for tuning the ferromagnetism by the integration of lateral gates to modulate the exchange-mediating hole population in the Ga1-xMnxAs region, hence creating junction-FET functionality.

The study showed that nanocrystals had more perfect crystallinity compared to the layers. While the InN layer growth direction followed the crystallographically required epitaxial growth orientation, the nanorod growth was randomly oriented. The opposite growth polarity has been determined for the InN layers grown along c-direction (In-polarity) in comparison to nanocrystals grown along same direction (N-polarity).

Doppler profiles of the nascent photoproducts are measured by Frequency-Modulated ( FM) transient absorption, and the resulting high signal-to-noise data are valuable for verifying the form of the angular correlations between the recoil velocity, the photofragment rotational angular momentum, and the space-fixed frame defined by the dissociation polarization. A space-fixed bipolar moment notation can be used for an unambiguous characterization of the maximal set of polarization properties that can be created with one-photon excitation and detected with one-photon Doppler-resolved absorption spectroscopy. Relating the observed polarization moments to the various coherent and incoherent, adiabatic and non-adiabatic mechanisms, that have been derived and verified extensively in the case of diatomic photodissociation to polarized atomic fragments, is not unambiguous in the case of diatomic fragments from triatomic precursors. Constraints among various polarization moments confirmed in the case of diatomic dissociation are not confirmed in this triatomic case, where the perpendicular transitions to non-degenerate A' and A'' components of a linear Omega = 1 state are qualitatively different from excitation to degenerate Omega = +/- 1 states in a diatomic molecule.

The present article describes electrochemical kinetic studies of these factors, in which standard interfacial ET rate constants (k(0)(l)) have been measured for ET between substrate Au electrodes and various redox couples attached to the electrode surfaces by variable lengths (l) of oligomethylene (OM), oligophenylenevinylene (OPV) and oligophenyleneethynylene (OPE) bridges, which were constituents of mixed self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). The k(0)(l) measurements employed the indirect laser-induced temperature jump (ILIT) technique, which permits the measurement of interfacial ET rates that are orders of magnitude faster than those measurable by conventional techniques using the macroelectrodes that are the most convenient substrates for the mixed SAMs. The robustness of the measured rate constants (k(0)(l)), together with the Arrhenius activation energies (E(a)(l)) and preexponential factors (A(l)), is demonstrated by their invariance with respect to several experimental system parameters (including the chemical nature and length of the diluent component of the mixed SAM). Analysis of the kinetic results demonstrates that all of the observed interfacial ET processes proceed through a common type of transition state (predominantly associated with solvent reorganization around the redox moiety) and that the actual ET step involves direct electronic tunnelling between the Au electrode and the redox moiety. However, for the full range of l investigated, a global exponential decay of A(l) is not found for any of the three types of bridges. Possible reasons for this behavior, including the role of rate determining steps associated with adiabatic mechanisms within or beyond the transition state theory framework, are discussed, and comparisons with related conductance measurements are presented.

We report here the first infrared spectra of model gas-phase cerium complexes and use the results as a benchmark to assist evaluation of the accuracy of ab initio calculations. Complexes containing [CeOH](2+) ligated by three- and four-acetone molecules were generated by electrospray ionization and characterized using wavelength-selective infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD). The C = O stretching frequency for the [CeOH( acetone)(4)](2+) species appeared at 1650 cm(-1) and was red-shifted by 90 cm(-1) compared to unligated acetone. The magnitude of this shift for the carbonyl frequency was even greater for the [CeOH(acetone)(3)](2+) complex: the IRMPD peak consisted of two dissociation channels, an initial elimination of acetone at 1635 cm(-1), and elimination of acetone concurrent with a charge separation producing [CeO(acetone)](+) at 1599 cm(-1), with the overall frequency centered at 1616 cm(-1). The increasing red shift observed as the number of acetone ligands decreases from four to three is consistent with transfer of more electron density per ligand in the less coordinated complexes. The lower frequency measured for the elimination/charge separation process is likely due to a combination of: (a) anharmonicity resulting from population of higher vibrational states, and (b) absorption by the initially formed photofragment [CeOH(acetone)(2)](2+). The C-C stretching frequency in the complexes is also influenced by coordination to the metal: it is blue-shifted compared to bare acetone, indicating a slight strengthening of the C-C bond in the complex, with the intensity of the absorption decreasing with decreasing ligation. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations using three different functionals (VWN, B3LYP, and PBE0) were used to predict the infrared spectra of the complexes. Calculated frequencies for the carbonyl stretch are within 40 cm(-1) of the IRMPD of the three- acetone complex measured using the single acetone loss, and within 60 cm(-1) of the measurement for the four-acetone complexes. The B3LYP functionals provided the best agreement with the measured spectra, with the VWN modestly lower and PBE0 modestly higher. The C-C stretching frequencies calculated using B3LYP are higher in energy than the measured values by similar to 30 cm(-1), and reproduce the observed trend which shows that the C-C stretching frequency decreases with increasing ligation. Agreement between C-C frequency and calculation was not as good using the VWN functional, but still within 70 cm(-1). The results provide an evaluation of changes in the acceptor properties of the metal center as ligands are added, and of the utility of DFT for modeling f-block coordination complexes.

We find that dissociation, angular depolarization, and the decoherence of the molecule is strongly influenced by the cage structure. The well ordered crystalline environment facilitates the modelling of the experimental angular distribution of the molecular axis after the collision with the rare gas cage. The observation of many subsequent vibrational wave packet oscillations allows the construction of anharmonic potentials and indicate a long vibrational coherence time. We control the vibrational wave packet revivals, thereby gaining information about the vibrational decoherence. The coherence times are remarkable larger when compared to the liquid or high pressure gas phase. This fact is attributed to the highly symmetric molecular environment of the RGS. The decoherence and energy relaxation data agree well with a perturbative model for moderate vibrational excitation and follow a classical model in the strong excitation limit. Furthermore, a wave packet interferometry scheme is applied to deduce electronic coherence times. The positions of those cage atoms, excited by the molecular electronic transitions are modulated by long living coherent phonons of the RGS, which we can probe via the molecular charge transfer states.

Recent experimental work has focused on destabilizing metal hydrides through mixing metal hydrides with other compounds. A very large number of possible destabilized metal hydride reaction schemes exist, but the thermodynamic data required to assess the enthalpies of these reactions are not available in many cases. We have used density functional theory calculations to predict the reaction enthalpies for more than 300 destabilization reactions that have not previously been reported. The large majority of these reactions are predicted not to be useful for reversible hydrogen storage, having calculated reaction enthalpies that are either too high or too low, and hence these reactions need not be investigated experimentally. Our calculations also identify multiple promising reactions that have large enough hydrogen storage capacities to be useful in practical applications and have reaction thermodynamics that appear to be suitable for use in fuel cell vehicles and are therefore promising candidates for experimental work.

It is found that these nanoparticles possess maghemite (gamma-Fe2O3)-like defects in the near surface regions, to which a vibrational mode at 690 cm(-1), active both in FTIR and Raman spectra, is assigned. The fraction of the maghemite-like defects and the net lattice disorder are inversely related to the particle size. However, the effect is opposite for nanoparticles grown by sintering of smaller hematite precursors under conditions when the formation of a uniform hematite- like structure throughout the aggregate is restricted by kinetic issues. This means that not only particle size but also the growth kinetics determines the structure of the nanoparticles. The observed structural changes are interpreted as size-induced alpha-Fe2O3 <-> gamma-Fe2O3 phase transitions. We develop a general model that considers spinel defects and absorbed/adsorbed species (in our case, hydroxyls) as dominant controls on structural changes with particle size in hematite nanoparticles, including solid-state phase transitions. These changes are represented by trajectories in a phase diagram built in three phase coordinates-concentrations of spinel defects, absorbed impurities, and adsorbed species. The critical size for the onset of the alpha ->gamma phase transition depends on the particle environment, and for the dry particles used in this study is about 40 nm. The model supports the existence of intermediate phases (protohematite and hydrohematite) during dehydration of goethite. We also demonstrate that the hematite structure is significantly less defective when the nanoparticles are immersed in water or KBr matrix, which is explained by the effects of the electrochemical double layer and increased rigidity of the particle environment. Finally, we revise the problem of applicability of IR spectroscopy to the lattice vibrations of hematite nanoparticles, demonstrating that structural comparison of different samples is much more reliable if it is based on the Eu band at about 460 cm(-1) and the spinel band at 690 cm(-1), instead of the A(2u)/E-u band at about 550 cm(-1) used in previous work. The new methodology is applied to analysis of the reported IR spectra of Martian hematite. C1 Virginia Tech, Ctr NanoBioEarth, Dept Geosci, Blacksburg, VA 24061 USA.

The decomposition of AB is well described by an induction, nucleation and growth mechanistic pathway. During the induction period, little hydrogen is released from AB; however, a new species identified as a mobile phase of AB is observed in the B-11 NMR spectra. Subsequent to induction, at reaction times when hydrogen is initially being released, three additional species are observed: the diammoniate of diborane (DADB), [(NH3)(2)BH2](+)[BH4](-), and two BH2N2 species believed to be the linear (NH3BH2NH2BH3) and cyclic dimer (NH2BH2)(2) of aminoborane. At longer reaction times the sharper features are replaced by broad, structureless peaks of a complex polymeric aminoborane (PAB) containing both BH2N2 and BHN3 species. The following mechanistic model for the induction, nucleation and growth for AB decomposition leading to formation of hydrogen is proposed: (i) an induction period that yields a mobile phase of AB caused by disruption of the dihydrogen bonds; (ii) nucleation that yields reactive DADB from the mobile AB; and (iii) growth that includes a bimolecular reaction between DADB and AB to release the stored hydrogen.

The photoelectron spectra of both species exhibit bands resulting from detachment transitions between the anion ground state and the ground state of the neutral radical. Franck - Condon simulations identify the anion isomers that contribute to the observed photoelectron spectrum. For both thymine and cytosine, the photoelectron spectra are consistent with anions formed by removal of a proton from the N atom that normally attaches to the sugar in the nucleotide (N1). For deprotonated thymine, the photoelectron spectrum shows a band due to a ring breathing vibration excited during the photodetachment transition. The electron affinity for the dehydrogenated thymine radical is determined as 3.250 +/- 0.015 eV. For deprotonated cytosine, the photoelectron spectrum lacks any resolved structure and the electron affinity of the dehydrogenated cytosine radical is determined to be 3.037 +/- 0.015 eV. By combining the electron affinity with previously measured gas phase acidities of thymine and cytosine, we determine the bond dissociation energy for the N - H bond that is broken.

In heterogeneous catalysis, the material gap refers to the discontinuity between well-characterized model systems and industrially relevant catalysts. Single crystal metal surfaces have been useful model systems to elucidate the role of surface defects and the mobility of reaction intermediates in catalytic reactivity and selectivity. As nanoscience advances, we have developed nanoparticle catalysts with lithographic techniques and colloidal syntheses. Nanoparticle catalysts on oxide supports allow us to investigate several important ingredients of heterogeneous catalysis such as the metal-oxide interface and the influence of noble metal particle size and surface structure on catalytic selectivity. Monodispersed nanoparticle and nanowire arrays were fabricated for use as model catalysts by lithographic techniques. Platinum and rhodium nanoparticles in the 1 - 10 nm range were synthesized in colloidal solutions in the presence of polymer capping agents. The most catalytically active systems are employed at high pressure or at solid - liquid interfaces. In order to study the high pressure and liquid interfaces on the molecular level, experimental techniques with which we bridged the pressure gap in catalysis have been developed. These techniques include the ultrahigh vacuum system equipped with high pressure reaction cell, high pressure Sum Frequency Generation (SFG) vibration spectroscopy, High Pressure Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (HP-STM), and High Pressure X-ray Photoemission Spectroscopy (HP-XPS), and Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM). In this article, we overview the development of experimental techniques and evolution of the model systems for the research of heterogeneous catalysis and biointerfacial studies that can shed light on the long-standing issues of materials and pressure gaps.

We employ orbital-free density functional theory, a linear-scaling first-principles quantum mechanics method, to study vacancy formation, diffusion, and aggregation in aluminium under shock loading conditions of compression and tension. We calculate vacancy formation and migration energies, and find that while nearest-neighbor vacancy pairs are unstable, next-nearest-neighbor vacancy pairs are stable. As the number of nearby vacancies increases, we predict that vacancy clusters preferentially grow through next-nearestneighbor vacancies. The energetics are found to be greatly affected by expansion and compression, leading to insight as to how vacancies behave under shock conditions.

A library of key reactions is presented and is based on the results of NP aging studies and existing decomposition mechanisms for similar nitro compounds. Density functional electronic structure calculations on these reactions were used to develop a decomposition mechanism at lower temperatures, which begins with HONO elimination and leads to intermediates that can produce CO, CO2, NO, and N2O gases. These gases were observed in low temperature ( 48 to 64 degrees C) aging studies of NP. A high temperature mechanism involving NO2 scission is compared to a thermal decomposition mechanism determined by simultaneous thermogravimetric modulated beam mass spectrometry. The calculated energy barriers for HONO elimination and NO2 scission in the gas phase are reported and compared to experimental results. C1 Colorado Sch Mines, Div Engn, Golden, CO 80401 USA.

Measurements made using non-linear stimulated Raman scattering from these ternary alcohol-water droplets allow the in situ determination of the concentration of the two alcohol components with high accuracy. The overlapping spontaneous Raman bands of the two alcohol components, arising from C-H stretching vibrational modes, are spectrally-resolved in stimulated Raman scattering measurements. We also demonstrate that the evaporation measurements are consistent with a quasi-steady state evaporation model, which can be used to interpret the evaporation dynamics occurring at a range of pressures at a particular evaporation time.

The SAXS experiments produce spectra in a few seconds that are comparable to small angle neutron scattering (SANS) spectra requiring several hours of integration time and the use of deuterated compounds. These measurements now make it possible to quantitatively determine the maximum nucleation and growth rates of small droplets formed under conditions that are far from equilibrium. Particle growth is directly followed from about 10 mu s to 100 mu s after particle formation with growth rates of similar to 0.2 to 0.02 nm mu s(-1).

Adsorbed carbon monoxide was detected along with gas phase products methane ( 3016 and 1306 cm(-1)), water ( 1900-1300 cm(-1)), and carbon dioxide ( 2348 cm(-1)). Aside from adsorbed CO, no other surface species were observed. The rate of formation of methane is 2.5 +/- 0.4 s(-1) and coincides with the rate of carbon dioxide growth (3.4 +/- 0.6 s(-1)), thus indicating that CH4 and CO2 originate from a common intermediate. The broad band of adsorbed carbon monoxide has a maximum at 2010 cm(-1) at early times ( 36 ms) that shifts gradually to 1960 cm(-1) over a period of 3 s as a result of the decreasing surface concentration of CO. Kinetic analysis of the adsorbed carbon monoxide reveals that surface sites absorbing at the high frequency end of the infrared band are temporally linked to gas phase product growth. Specifically, a ( linear) CO site at 2026 cm(-1) decays with a rate constant of 2.9 +/- 0.1 s(-1), which coincides with the rise constant of CH4. This demonstrates that the linear CO site at 2026 cm(-1) is the kinetically most relevant one for the rate-determining CO dissociation step under reaction conditions at 700 K.

In this paper, we improve upon our previous algorithm in two ways. First, we incorporate the resolution of the identity (RI) and atomic resolution of the identity (ARI) approximations when generating the relevant integrals, which allows for a drastic reduction in computational cost. Second, after convergence to a stationary point, we efficiently calculate the lowest mode of the Hessian matrix in order to either (i) confirm that we have found a minimum, or if not, (ii) move us away from the current saddle point. This gives our algorithm added stability. As a chemical example, in this paper, we investigate the electronic structure (including the localized orbitals) of ammonia triborane (NH(3)B(3)H(7)). Though ammonia triborane is a very electron-defficient compound, it forms a stable white powder which is now being investigated as a potential hydrogen storage material. In contrast to previous electronic structure predictions, our calculations show that ammonia triborane has one localized molecular orbital in the center of the electron-defficient triborane ring (much like the single molecular orbital in H3 (+)), which gives the molecule added energetic stability. Furthermore, we believe that NH3B3H7 is the smallest stable molecule supporting such a closed, three-center BBB bond. C1 Univ Calif Berkeley, Biophys Program, Berkeley, CA 94720 USA.

Free energy calculations on the neutral and ion pair structures for n = 3 indicate that the two configurations are close in energy and are accessible in the fluctuation dynamics of proton transport. For n = 1, 2 the only relevant configuration is the neutral form. This was verified through ab initio metadynamics simulations. These findings suggest that bases are directly involved in the proton transport at low, n = 3, hydration level, but not at lower hydration levels, n <= 2. In addition, the gas phase proton affinity of the model sulfonic acid H was found to be comparable to the proton affinity of water. The free energy pro. le for proton exchange between a protonated acid-water cluster configuration and a neutral acid-hydronium ion cluster configuration showed that such configurations are nearly isoenergetic. Thus, protonated acids can also play a role in proton transport under low hydration conditions and under high concentration of protons.

This leads to well-defined mathematical requirements for classification of a dynamical process as a reaction mechanism and also to a straightforward mathematical procedure for the determination of a special class of independent collision mechanisms that are dubbed '' canonical ''. Canonical mechanisms result from an exact decomposition of the differential cross section of the reaction and form a complete orthogonal basis in terms of which all reaction mechanisms can be described. Examples involving the benchmark F + H-2 and D + H-2 reactions at energies ranging from ultralow to hyperthermal illustrate how canonical and other reaction mechanisms can be visualised and also how analysis of a reaction in terms of its canonical mechanisms can provide insight into its dynamics.

The cross sections were obtained from nuclear dynamics calculations carried out in full dimensionality within the local complex potential model by using the multiconfiguration time-dependent Hartree method. The calculations employ our previously obtained global, complex-valued, potential-energy surfaces for the three (B-2(1), (2)A(1), and B-2(2)) electronic Feshbach resonances involved in this process. These three metastable states of H2O- undergo several degeneracies, and we incorporate both the Renner-Teller coupling between the B-2(1) and (2)A(1) states as well as the conical intersection between the (2)A(1) and B-2(2) states into our treatment. The nuclear dynamics are inherently multidimensional and involve branching between different final product arrangements as well as extensive excitation of the diatomic fragment. Our results successfully mirror the qualitative features of the major fragment channels observed, but are less successful in reproducing the available results for some of the minor channels. We comment on the applicability of the local complex potential model to such a complicated resonant system. C1 Univ Calif Berkeley, Dept Chem, Berkeley, CA 94720 USA.

A diabatization is performed on the (2)A(1) and B-2(2) surfaces, due to the presence of a conical intersection between them.

Krypton ions produced in a strong, linearly polarized optical laser field (10(14)-10(15) W/cm(2)) are aligned along the field polarization axis. Using microfocused, tunable x rays from Argonne's Advanced Photon Source, we measure orbital alignment as a function of time. For plasma densities of the order of 10(14) cm(-3), the alignment decays within a few nanoseconds. A quantitative model explains the decay in terms of electron-ion collisions in the plasma. By applying an external magnetic field, we are able to suppress the disalignment and induce coherent spin precession of the Kr ions, thus providing an in situ monitor of magnetic fields in a plasma.

TI Optimal quantum measurements of expectation values of observables SO PHYSICAL REVIEW A LA English DT Article ID FOURIER-TRANSFORM; COMPUTATION; ALGORITHMS; COMPUTERS AB Experimental characterizations of a quantum system involve the measurement of expectation values of observables for a preparable state parallel to psi > of the quantum system. Such expectation values can be measured by repeatedly preparing parallel to psi > and coupling the system to an apparatus. For this method, the precision of the measured value scales as 1/root N for N repetitions of the experiment. For the problem of estimating the parameter phi in an evolution e(-i phi H), it is possible to achieve precision 1/N [the quantum metrology limit; see Giovannetti , Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 010401 (2006)] provided that sufficient information about H and its spectrum is available. We consider the more general problem of estimating expectations of operators A with minimal prior knowledge of A. We give explicit algorithms that approach precision 1/N given a bound on the eigenvalues of A or on their tail distribution. These algorithms are particularly useful for simulating quantum systems on quantum computers because they enable efficient measurement of observables and correlation functions. Our algorithms are based on a method for efficiently measuring the complex overlap of parallel to psi > and U parallel to psi >, where U is an implementable unitary operator. We explicitly consider the issue of confidence levels in measuring observables and overlaps and show that, as expected, confidence levels can be improved exponentially with linear overhead. We further show that the algorithms given here can typically be parallelized with minimal increase in resource usage. C1 Natl Inst Stand & Technol, Math & Computat Sci Div, Boulder, CO 80305 USA.

TI Optimizing the paths for including the correction term to the hyperspherical hidden crossing method: Application to Ps formation in e(+)-Li collisions SO PHYSICAL REVIEW A LA English DT Article ID POSITRONIUM FORMATION; ENERGY; SCATTERING; LITHIUM; FRAGMENTATION; HYDROGEN; ATOMS AB A correction term to the hyperspherical hidden crossing method (HHCM) was previously derived for large hyperradius R using the one-Sturmian theory. With the correction term, the HHCM potentials agree asymptotically with close-coupling channel potentials through order 1/R-2. Here, we present an optimal pair of paths in the complex R plane for the inclusion of the correction term. With this new pair of paths, the correction term can be treated in a consistent way for the two levels associated with a transition. Using the new paths, we apply the HHCM with the correction term to calculate s-, p-, d-, and f- partial wave cross sections for Ps formation in e(+)-Li collisions in the energy range 0 - 1.8 eV. The comparison of the total Ps formation cross section, with both an accurate hyperspherical close-coupling calculation and experimental measurements, shows that the HHCM with the correction term is a reliable method to describe collisions involving three charged particles. A systematic study of the Stuckelberg phase with respect to orbital angular momentum and momentum of the incident positron provides interesting insights into the scattering process.

TI Dephasing of Stark wave packets induced by colored noise SO PHYSICAL REVIEW A LA English DT Article ID HALF-CYCLE PULSES; ATOMIC ELECTRON; RYDBERG ATOMS; QUANTUM; DYNAMICS; REVIVAL; FIELDS AB The time evolution of Stark wave packets in Rydberg atoms under the influence of colored noise is analyzed. The Stark wave packets are generated by exposing K(350p) Rydberg atoms to an electric field step. Their time evolution is monitored using a half-cycle probe pulse that is applied after a variable time delay. The noise is generated by randomly modulating the amplitude of the static field. We show that noise results in an enhanced and irreversible dephasing of Stark quantum beats, as monitored by the damping of the beat amplitude. This source of decoherence is most effective when the characteristic frequency of the noise power spectrum matches the orbital frequency of the Rydberg electron. Noise driven resonant Delta n=1 transitions broaden the energy distribution thereby accelerating the dephasing. C1 Tech Univ Vienna, Inst Theoret Phys, Vienna, Austria.

TI Observation of two spin gap energies in the filled skutterudite compound CeOs(4)Sb(12) SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID INELASTIC NEUTRON-SCATTERING; HYBRIDIZATION GAP; MAGNETIC-FIELD; SEMICONDUCTOR; CE3BI4PT3; CERU4SB12; BEHAVIOR; MODEL; CE; TRANSITION AB The optical conductivity of the Kondo insulator compound CeOs(4)Sb(12) reveals the formation of a 70 meV charge gap below 160 K. It also exhibits a weak shoulderlike structure at 30 meV, below 60 K. We have investigated CeOs(4)Sb(12) by inelastic neutron scattering techniques using incident neutron energies (E(i)) of 23 and 200 meV, at 5 and 176 K. Our measurements with E(i) = 200 meV show magnetic scattering centered near 50-60 meV and low-Q (similar to 3.8 angstrom(-1)) at 5 K, in addition to the continuum of magnetic scattering observed at 176 K. This clearly indicates the opening of a spin gap (or pseudogap ) of the order of 50 meV at 5 K in the strongly renormalized band near the Fermi energy. Furthermore, measurements with E(i) = 23 meV did not reveal any evidence of magnetic excitations below 20 meV, consistent with the scenario of a spin gap in CeOs(4)Sb(12). However, the estimated magnetic scattering deduced from the E(i) = 200 meV data reveals the presence of broad magnetic scattering between 25 and 80 meV centered near 27 meV, indicating a second energy scale with a gap energy of 27 meV. We interpret the 50 meV energy scale in terms of a direct gap, while the 27 meV energy scale corresponds to an indirect gap across the two hybridized bands. This gap energy of 27 meV is in good agreement with the so-called universal energy scale versus single ion Kondo temperature plot. We present the general features of spin gap systems such as CeOs(4)Sb(12) and CeRu(4)Sb(12), and discuss the role of crystal field excitations regarding the spin gap formation based on a theoretical model.

Hybridization of the extended p-like states comprising the valence band of the host semiconductor with the close-lying localized p-like states of Sb or Bi leads to a nonlinear shift of the valence-band edge and a reduction of the band gap. The two alloys GaSbxAs1-x and GaBixAs1-x are explored in detail, and the results are extrapolated to additional systems. C1 Lawrence Berkeley Natl Lab, Div Mat Sci, Berkeley, CA 94720 USA.

TI Ytterbium divalency and lattice disorder in near-zero thermal expansion YbGaGe SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID SYSTEM AB While near-zero thermal expansion (NZTE) in YbGaGe is sensitive to stoichiometry and defect concentration, the NZTE mechanism remains elusive. We present x-ray absorption spectra that show unequivocally that Yb is nearly divalent in YbGaGe and the valence does not change with temperature or with nominally 1% B or 5% C impurities, ruling out a valence-fluctuation mechanism. Moreover, substantial changes occur in the local structure around Yb with B and C inclusion. Together with inelastic neutron scattering measurements, these data indicate a strong tendency for the lattice to disorder, providing a possible explanation for NZTE in YbGaGe.

We found a good agreement between theory and experiment for the Coulomb repulsion parameter U = 4 eV. In particular, the p-d band separation of 1.8 eV has been found from the RIXS spectra, which is in accordance with the calculations. Similarly, the positions of the peaks in the XPS spectra agree with the calculated densities of p and d states. Using the results of the electronic structure calculations, we determined the intramolecular exchange parameters, and used them for diagonalization of the Mn-12 spin Hamiltonian.

Experimental results for silicon SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID VACANCY-MEDIATED DIFFUSION; INTRINSIC POINT-DEFECTS; PHOSPHORUS DIFFUSION; BORON-DIFFUSION; EXTRINSIC CONDITIONS; AB-INITIO; ISOCONCENTRATION DIFFUSION; THERMAL NITRIDATION; ARSENIC DIFFUSION; DOPANT DIFFUSION AB We report the diffusion of boron, arsenic, and phosphorus in silicon isotope multilayer structures at temperatures between 850 degrees C and 1100 degrees C. The diffusion of all dopants and self-atoms at a given temperature is modeled with the same setting of all native-point-defect-related parameters. The evaluation of the relative contributions of charged native-point defects to self-diffusion enables us to determine the defect energy levels introduced by the native-point defects in the Si band gap. Making allowance for the fact that the band gap and the energy levels change with temperature, an energy-level diagram of the native-point defects is obtained that shows a reversed level ordering for the donor levels of the self-interstitials. In accord with the general state of knowledge, the diffusion of boron is mainly mediated by self-interstitials whereas the properties of both vacancies and self-interstitials are important to model arsenic and phosphorus diffusion. The simultaneous diffusion of phosphorus and silicon requires the existence of a singly positively charged interstitial phosphorus. It is the diffusion of this defect that strongly affects the shape of the phosphorus diffusion tail and not entirely the supersaturation of self-interstitials argued so far. Taking into account the mechanisms of dopant diffusion and the properties of native-point defects determined from the simultaneous diffusion experiments, let us describe accurately dopant profiles given in the literature. Altogether, this work provides overall consistent data for modeling dopant and self-diffusion in Si for various experimental conditions. A comparison of experimentally and theoretically determined activation enthalpies of self- and dopant diffusion shows excellent agreement for self-interstitial-mediated diffusion but significant differences for vacancy-mediated diffusion in Si. This disagreement either reflects the deficiency of first-principle calculations to accurately predict the energy band gap of Si or points to a still-remaining lack in our understanding of diffusion in Si.

The samples without the field-driven transition have lower kinetic freezing temperatures and lower dielectric constants, and one shows a new transitionlike susceptibility jump at about 180 K on cooling in zero field. Nonetheless, in each sample the distinctive spin-glasslike aging of the dielectric susceptibility follows the same aging pattern quantitatively. These results support pictures in which the glassy aging comes from different degrees of freedom than does most of the dielectric response, which is dominated by the orientations of ferroelectriclike polar nanoregions.

TI Momentum dependence of 4f hybridization in heavy-fermion compounds: Angle-resolved photoemission study of YbIr2Si2 and YbRh2Si2 SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID KONDO INSULATOR YBB12; SINGLE IMPURITY MODEL; RARE-EARTH-METALS; CE COMPOUNDS; TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENCE; ELECTRONIC-STRUCTURE; SPECTROSCOPY; SPECTRA; YBINCU4; SYSTEMS AB Heavy-fermion compounds YbIr2Si2 and YbRh2Si2 were studied by means of angle-resolved photoemission (PE). The splittings and dispersions of the 4f(13) bulk and surface PE signals in the region of the expected energy crossings of the 4f final states and the valence bands in the Brillouin zone are observed. The experimental results are explained in terms of a simplified periodic Anderson model by a momentum dependence of the electron hopping matrix element between the 4f and valence-band states.

TI Effect of substitution of Cl and Br for Se in the ferromagnetic spinel CuCr2Se4: A magnetic Compton profile study SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID SCATTERING; ELECTRONS AB The spin-polarized electron momentum distribution in the Cr-based chalcogenide spinels CuCr2Se4-xClx (x=0.0 and 0.4) and CuCr2Se4-xBrx (x=0.78) has been measured using magnetic Compton scattering technique at T=10 K. Magnetic Compton profiles have been compared with the results from electronic structure calculations performed using the full potential linearized augmented plane-wave method (FPLAPW). The theoretical analysis includes a decomposition of the various orbitals and atomic contributions. For substitution of Cl and Br for Se in the lattice it is observed that the Cr spin moment increases by similar to 0.2 mu(B) per formula unit (FU-1) for Cl substitution (x similar to 0.4) and 0.7 mu(B) FU-1 for Br substitution (x similar to 0.78). The Cr 3d spin moment in these spinels are observed to be antiparallel to those of tetrahedrally coordinated Cu and Se spin moments. The Cu spin moments arise mainly from the 3d states, while the increase in the Cr 3d moment due to the substitution for Se (with Cl and Br) in the structure of the parent compound is compensated by a decrease of the Cu spin moment.

TI Phase transition of geometrically frustrated TbNiAl in a magnetic field SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID ANOMALOUS TRANSITION; FERROMAGNETIC ORDER; DIFFRACTION; SYSTEM AB The phase transitions of the geometrically frustrated antiferromagnet TbNiAl in a magnetic field are studied by means of neutron powder diffraction, ac susceptibility, and muon spin relaxation (mu SR) measurements. Neutron powder diffraction reveals that, in addition to antiferromagnetic order, ferromagnetic order is induced in a field as low as B similar to 0.02 T. At higher fields, ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic order coexist in different domains in the sample, and the domain balance depends on both magnetic field and temperature. Antiferromagnetic Bragg reflections are observed below a Neel temperature of T-N=47 K which is independent of the field. Ferromagnetic Bragg peaks are observed below a field-dependent Curie temperature which increases from T-C=52 K at B=0.2 T to T-C=70 K at B=5 T. Both phase transitions are concurrently observed in ac susceptibility and mu SR measurements. C1 Oak Ridge Natl Lab, Spallat Neutron Source, Oak Ridge, TN 37831 USA.

TI Large Ca isotope effect in the CaC6 superconductor SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID GRAPHITE-INTERCALATION COMPOUNDS; COMPOUND C8K; SUSCEPTIBILITY; TEMPERATURE AB We have measured the Ca isotope effect coefficient, alpha(Ca), in the newly discovered superconductor CaC6 and find a value of 0.53(2). This result shows that the superconductivity is dominated by coupling of the electrons by Ca phonon modes. The C phonons contribute very little, assuming that this material is a conventional electron-phonon coupled superconductor. Thus, in contrast to another layered material MgB2, where high-energy phonons in the B layers are responsible for the superconductivity, in layered CaC6 the phonons responsible for superconductivity are primarily low-energy modes of the intercalated Ca.

TI Stripe order and vibrational properties of La2NiO4+delta for delta=2/15: Measurements and ab initio calculations SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID C-AXIS PHONONS; STRUCTURAL PHASE-TRANSITION; PLANE OPTICAL CONDUCTIVITY; SINGLE-CRYSTALS; HIGH-T(C) SUPERCONDUCTORS; INFRARED RESPONSE; CHARGE; LA2-XSRXNIO4; DEPENDENCE; OXYGEN AB The optical properties of the static charge- and stripe-ordered material La2NiO4+delta for delta=2/15 have been measured over a wide frequency and temperature range for light polarized within the a-b planes and along the c axis. Below the charge-ordering temperature, T-co similar or equal to 319 K, a charge gap opens and the electronic background, upon which four strong infrared-active phonons are superimposed, drops towards zero. As the temperature decreases, many new spectral features are observed in response to the ordering of interstitial oxygen as well as the formation of a superlattice due to the charge order in the NiO2 planes. In particular, the prominent mode at 354 cm(-1) splits into three components; while the frequencies do not shift below the magnetic-ordering transition at T-m=110 K, there is a transfer of oscillator strength in response to the change in registry of the charge stripes with respect to the underlying lattice. Ab initio calculations have been performed using density-functional theory, and the phonon dispersion curves were obtained using the direct method. Likely assignments of the new modes activated by stripe order are discussed. In some crystals, two antiresonances are observed in the conductivity for T similar or equal to T-co, which change to a resonant character for T less than or similar to T-m; these modes are shown to be due to longitudinal optic c-axis modes which appear as a result of surface misorientation.

As measured by the pairing scale, the B-1g buckling mode enhances the pairing, while other phonon modes decrease the pairing. When various phonon modes are included together, the net effect on the scale is small. However, in situations where d-wave superconductivity and other tendencies, e.g., antiferromagnetism, are closely competing, the combined effect of different phonons may be able to tip the balance towards pairing.

Direct measurements of the charge stripe satellite peaks in zero and high electric fields provide no evidence for a deformation or a sliding of the stripe lattice, which contradicts previous indications from nonlinear conductance effects. By using the order parameter of a structural phase transition for instant sample temperature measurements, nonlinear transport effects can be attributed to resistive heating. Implications for the pinning of stripes in the nickelates are discussed. C1 Brookhaven Natl Lab, Condensed Matter Phys & Mat Sci Dept, Upton, NY 11973 USA. DESY, HASYLAB, D-22603 Hamburg, Germany.

TI X-ray magnetic circular dichroism of Heusler alloy Co2Cr1-xFexAl epitaxial thin films SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID SPIN POLARIZATION; COMPOUND CO2CR0.6FE0.4AL; ORBITAL MAGNETISM; POINT-CONTACT; SPECTROSCOPY; JUNCTIONS; METAL; FE; CO; MAGNETORESISTANCE AB We apply the technique of x-ray magnetic circular dichroism in total electron yield mode to study the magnitudes of the magnetic moments of Cr, Fe, and Co in Heusler alloy Co2Cr1-xFexAl epitaxial thin films, predicted to be half metallic for small values of x. We extract the moments by positing that the constant of proportionality between the resonant absorption intensity per atom and the number of d holes is the same for Cr, Fe, and Co; this modified sum rule analysis removes the need to estimate values for the number of d holes, the degree of x-ray circular polarization, and the angle between the x-ray wave vector and the applied magnetic field. We find the orbital moments of Fe and Co to have small values close to those of pure samples. Across samples of different compositions and processing temperatures the Co moment shows the largest variations and hence appears to be a good indicator of the atomic environment. In Co2Cr0.6Fe0.4Al, we find evidence for an annealing-induced reduction in magnetization, and find the magnetization to remain constant for thicknesses down to 50 angstrom. In all of the samples containing Cr we find that the Cr spin moment is on average ferromagnetically aligned with Fe and Co but is similar to(0.1-0.3) mu(B), far lower than predicted. However, the line shape of the Cr dichroism signal resembles that predicted by electronic structure calculations, indicating that only a fraction of the Cr atoms may be magnetic.

TI Enhanced vortex heat conductance in mesoscopic superconductors SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY; QUANTUM; STATES; ABSORPTION AB Electronic heat transport along the flux lines in a long ballistic mesoscopic superconductor cylinder with a radius of the order of several coherence lengths is investigated theoretically using both semiclassical approach and the full quantum-mechanical analysis of the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations. The semiclassical approach leads to the heat transport theory which employs the idea that heat is carried by the quasiparticle modes propagating along the vortex core in a way similar to the Landauer transport theory for mesoscopic conductors. We show that the vortex heat conductance in a mesoscopic sample is strongly enhanced as compared to its value for a bulk superconductor; it grows as the cylinder radius decreases. This unusual behavior results from a strongly increased number of transverse modes due to giant mesoscopic oscillations of energy levels, which originate from the interplay between the Andreev reflection at the vortex core boundary and the normal reflection at the sample edge. We derive the exact quantum-mechanical expression for the heat conductance and solve the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations numerically. The results of numerical computations generalize the qualitative Landauer-type picture by taking into account the partial reflections of excitations. We analyze the effect of surface imperfections on the spectrum of core excitations. We show that the giant oscillations of core levels and thus the essential features of the heat transport characteristic to ideal mesoscopic samples hold for a broad class of surface imperfections as well.

The time-dependent Schrodinger equation for the Holstein model of electron-phonon coupling is numerically integrated in a large Hilbert space to obtain the time evolution of the electron and phonon densities and the electron-phonon (el-ph) correlation functions. The quantum dynamical nature of the phonons is preserved. As the el-ph coupling increases, qualitative changes in polaron formation occur when the one-phonon polaron bound state forms. A potential barrier between the quasifree and heavy polaron states exists in dimensions D >= 2, consistent with earlier adiabatic theory. We compare to recent experiments.

When sigma(0), the extrapolated T=0 conductivity from the linear T dependence, is plotted as a function of density, two regimes with different sigma(0)(n) relations are seen, suggestive of two different phases. Interestingly, a sharp transition between these two regimes coincides with n(c), and sigma(0) of the transition is similar to e(2)/h, the quantum conductance, per square. Toward T=0, the data deviate from linear sigma(T) relation and we discuss the possible percolation type of transition in our Si sample. C1 Princeton Univ, Dept Elect Engn, Princeton, NJ 08544 USA.

Here we present oxygen near K-edge spectra of SiO2 glass to 51 GPa obtained using x-ray Raman scattering in a diamond-anvil cell. The x-ray Raman spectra below similar to 10 GPa are consistent with those of quartz and coesite, whereas the spectra above similar to 22 GPa are similar to that of stishovite. This pressure-induced spectral change indicates an electronic bonding transition occurring from a fourfold quartzlike to a sixfold stishovitelike configuration in SiO2 glass between 10 GPa and 22 GPa. In contrast to the irreversible densification, the electronic bonding transition is reversible upon decompression. The observed reversible bonding transition and irreversible densification call for a coherent understanding of the transformation mechanism in compressed SiO2 glass.

Our calculations successfully reproduced the magnetic structure of TlCo2S2 and the obtained magnetic moment is somewhat higher (0.82 mu(beta) per Co atom) than the experimental value. However, TlCo2Se2 was found to possess an antiferromagnetic state which is inconsistent with the observed spin spiral. We show that the correct magnetic structure of TlCo2Se2 can be obtained if the distance between the Co layers is reduced. Moreover, we demonstrate that the modification of the Co interlayer distance is a crucial parameter that governs the nature of the magnetism in these alloys. We discuss a mechanism that could favor noncollinear states in TlCo2Se2 over the ferromagnetic configuration and explain the change of the magnetic structure in the substitutional TlCo2Se2-xSx alloys.

We found that the characteristic Raman spectra of this family of compounds display two phonon modes at similar to 38 and similar to 165 cm(-1) and a broad electronic background centered at similar to 40 cm(-1). For CeCoIn5, the temperature dependence of these excitations shows anomalous behavior near T-*=45 K that may indicate a nontrivial renormalization of the electronic structure driven by strong correlations between hybridized 4f electrons.

TI High-density electrosorbed carbon monoxide monolayers on Pt(111) under atmospheric pressure SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID X-RAY-SCATTERING; SCANNING-TUNNELING-MICROSCOPY; SUM-FREQUENCY GENERATION; AUTOMATED TENSOR LEED; POTENTIAL-DEPENDENCE; ADLAYER STRUCTURES; CO; SURFACE; ADSORPTION; ELECTRODES AB We report structure studies of high-density CO monolayers on Pt(111) surfaces in equilibrium with gaseous CO near atmospheric pressure, using surface x-ray scattering (SXS) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). We were able to stabilize extremely well-ordered CO monolayers by emersion transfer from an electrochemical cell. We found the hexagonal close-packed (2 x 2)-3CO structure at room temperature in similar to 1 atm CO gas pressure. We also confirm the (root 19 x root 19)-13CO structure previously proposed in STM studies [Vestergaard et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 88, 259601 (2002)]. Based on SXS and STM measurements, a tentative phase diagram is proposed. Detailed SXS structure studies of the (2 x 2)-3CO structure suggest a surface structure and substrate reconstruction less symmetric than previously studies suggested. We also find that (root 19 x root 19)-13CO structure induces substrate reconstructions including the dimerization of Pt bonded to bridging CO and the rotation of the Pt cluster with atop CO.

TI Magnetic momentum density, Fermi surface, and directional magnetic Compton profiles in LaSr2Mn2O7 and La1.2Sr1.8Mn2O7 SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID COLOSSAL MAGNETORESISTIVE OXIDES; POLARIZED GAMMA-RAYS; MUFFIN-TIN ALLOYS; ELECTRONIC-STRUCTURE; MANGANITE LA2-2XSR1+2XMN2O7; NEUTRON-DIFFRACTION; SCATTERING; SOLIDS; GAS; APPROXIMATION AB We have carried out first principles, all-electron computations of the magnetic momentum density rho(mag) (p) and magnetic Compton profiles (MCPs) for momentum transfer along the [100], [001], and [110] directions in LaSr2Mn2O7 and La1.2Sr1.8Mn2O7 within the local spin density approximation (LSDA) based band theory framework. Parallel measurements of these three MCPs from a single crystal of La1.2Sr1.8Mn2O7 at 5 K in a magnetic field of 7 T are also reported. rho(mag) (p) is shown to contain distinct peaks arising from the occupied majority-spin t(2g) electrons and to display images of the Fermi surface (FS) in the first and higher Brillouin zones (BZs). The overall shape of the MCPs, J(mag) (p(z)), obtained by integrating rho(mag) (p) over p(x) and p(y), is found to be dominated by the majority-spin t(2g) states. The FS-related fine structure in the MCPs is, however, substantial only in the [100] MCP, which contains features arising from the large majority-spin hole sheets. The overall shapes and widths of the experimental MCPs along all three directions investigated are in reasonably good accord with theoretical predictions, although some discrepancies indicating inadequacy of the LSDA in treating the magnetic states can be identified. We discuss details of the FS-related signatures in the first and higher BZs in the [100] MCP and show that high resolution magnetic Compton scattering experiments with a momentum resolution of 0.1 a.u. full-width-at-half-maximum or better will be necessary to observe this fine structure. We comment also on the feasibility of using positron annihilation spectroscopy in this connection. C1 Northeastern Univ, Dept Phys, Boston, MA 02115 USA.

High-resolution x-ray absorption (PFY-XAS), resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS), and hard-x-ray photoemission (HAXPES) data all show characteristic temperature-dependent changes of the Yb valence. For each material, the increments measured from low (20 K) to high (300 K) temperature by the different probes are quite similar. The estimated RIXS and XAS valences are consistently higher than the HAXPES values. We briefly discuss the possible origin of this discrepancy.

TI Solid-liquid phase diagrams for binary metallic alloys: Adjustable interatomic potentials SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID SOLID/LIQUID INTERFACES; MOLECULAR SIMULATION; COEXISTENCE; MIXTURES; DYNAMICS; EMBRITTLEMENT; EQUILIBRIUM; INTEGRATION; SYSTEMS; STATE AB We develop an approach to determining Lennard-Jones embedded-atom method potentials for alloys and use these to determine the solid-liquid phase diagrams for binary metallic alloys using Kofke's Gibbs-Duhem integration technique combined with semigrand canonical Monte Carlo simulations. We demonstrate that it is possible to produce a wide range of experimentally observed binary phase diagrams (with no intermetallic phases) by reference to the atomic sizes and cohesive energies of the two elemental materials. In some cases, it is useful to employ a single adjustable parameter to adjust the phase diagram (we provided a good choice for this free parameter). Next, we perform a systematic investigation of the effect of relative atomic sizes and cohesive energies of the elements on the binary phase diagrams. We then show that this approach leads to good agreement with several experimental binary phase diagrams. The main benefit of this approach is not the accurate reproduction of experimental phase diagrams, but rather to provide a method by which material properties can be continuously changed in simulation studies. This is one of the keys to the use of atomistic simulations to understand mechanisms and properties in a manner not available to experiment.

TI Procedure for LEED I-V structural analysis of metal oxide surfaces: Ca1.5Sr0.5RuO4(001) SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID ENERGY-ELECTRON-DIFFRACTION; MEAN FREE PATHS; POTENTIALS AB Transition metal oxides (TMOs) are famous for the intimate coupling between the lattice, electrons, and spin, creating exotic functionality. Creating a surface, breaking the symmetry, should result in lattice distortions that due to the close coupling could create different "surface phases." Historically it has been very difficult to use low energy electron diffraction I-V to quantitatively determine the surface structure of TMOs. A signature of this problem is the large values commonly reported in the literature of the Pendry reliability factor (R-P), which is used to quantify the agreement between experimental data and calculated diffraction. In this paper we describe a consistent procedure for determining the phase shifts using an optimized muffin-tin potential approach combined with an energy-dependent real and imaginary inner potential. This procedure is used to determine the surface structure of the layered TMO Ca1.5Sr0.5RuO4. An acceptable Pendry reliability factor is achieved (R-P=0.28).

Differences in both core level and valence band spectra have been observed as a function of temperature: We correlate the energy shift of the O 1s peak with a charge-transfer associated with the structural change taking place at the transition. A prominent shoulder on the low binding energy side of the Mn 2p core level that is observed below TC is tentatively ascribed to increased nonlocal screening in the ordered ferromagnetic phase.

We compare the ARPES intensity map with first-principles band structure calculations using a generalized gradient approximation and we find good correlations with the calculated dispersion of the electronic bands.

TI Electrically resonant terahertz metamaterials: Theoretical and experimental investigations SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID FREQUENCIES; PLASMONS AB We present a class of artificial materials that exhibit a tailored response to the electrical component of electromagnetic radiation. These electric metamaterials are investigated theoretically, computationally, and experimentally using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. These structures display a resonant response including regions of negative permittivity epsilon(1)(omega)< 0 ranging from similar to 500 GHz to 1 THz. Conventional electric media such as distributed wires are difficult to incorporate into metamaterials. In contrast, these localized structures will simplify the construction of future metamaterials, including those with negative index of refraction. As these structures generalize to three dimensions in a straightforward manner, they will significantly enhance the design and fabrication of functional terahertz devices.

TI Structural characterization of temperature- and pressure-induced inverse <-> normal spinel transformation in magnetite SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID DIFFRACTION; CRYSTAL; FE3O4; GPA AB High-precision powder x-ray diffraction and Fe-57 Mossbauer studies up to 20 GPa show that magnetite (Fe3O4) undergoes a reversible normal <-> inverse transition with increasing pressure or decreasing temperature. There is no resolvable change in the spinel-type crystal structure or unit-cell volume at the phase transition. However, the volume of the tetrahedral (A) site increases (17%) and that of the octahedral (B) site decreases (similar to 7%) as electron charge density is transferred from the B to the A site. The corresponding valence changes cause the inverse -> normal transition with increasing pressure: Fe-A(3+)-> Fe-A(2+) and Fe-B(2.5+)-> Fe-B(3+). There is an intermediate mixed configuration region at pressure-temperature (P-T) conditions lying between those at which magnetite is normal, T < T-norm(P), or inverse, T>T-inv(P).

We calculate the optical-absorption frequencies corresponding to a polaron and a bipolaron lattice in P3HT. We also analyze the electronic excitations for three possible scenarios under which a first- or a second-order metal-insulator transition can occur in doped P3HT. These theoretical scenarios are compared with data from infrared absorption spectroscopy on P3HT thin-film field-effect transistors (FETs). Our measurements and theoretical predictions suggest that charge-induced localized states in P3HT FETs are bipolarons and that the highest doping level achieved in our experiments approaches that required for a first-order metal-insulator transition.

TI Cohesion of BaReH9 and BaMnH9: Density functional calculations and prediction of (MnH9)(2-) salts SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID METAL-HYDROGEN COMPOUNDS; MAGNETIC-PROPERTIES; CRYSTAL STRUCTURE; HYDRIDES; CLUSTERS; COMPLEX; GROWTH AB Density functional calculations are used to calculate the structural and electronic properties of BaReH9 and to analyze the bonding in this compound. The high coordination in BaReH9 is due to bonding between Re 5d states and states of d-like symmetry formed from combinations of H s orbitals in the H-9 cage. This explains the structure of the material, its short bond lengths, and other physical properties, such as the high band gap. We compare with results for hypothetical BaMnH9, which we find to have similar bonding and cohesion to the Re compound. This suggests that it may be possible to synthesize (MnH9)(2-) salts. Depending on the particular cation, such salts may have exceptionally high hydrogen contents, in excess of 10 wt %. C1 Oak Ridge Natl Lab, Div Mat Sci & Technol, Oak Ridge, TN 37831 USA.

TI Parallel replica dynamics for driven systems: Derivation and application to strained nanotubes SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID WALLED CARBON NANOTUBES; MECHANICS; SIMULATION; FRACTURE; DEFECTS AB We show that parallel replica dynamics can be extended to driven systems (e.g., systems with time-dependent boundary conditions). Each processor simulates a replica at a driving rate that is M times faster than the desired rate, where M is the number of processors. As in regular parallel replica dynamics, when a transition to a new state is detected on any processor, the times are summed and every processor is restarted in the new state. The state-to-state dynamics are shown to be correct if the processors run at the same speed and the system is driven slowly enough (on each processor) so that the escape rates do not depend on the time history of the drive. We demonstrate the algorithm by stretching a carbon nanotube with a preexisting vacancy, noting a significant dependence of the nature of nanotube yield on the strain rate. In particular, we are able to achieve strain rates slow enough such that the time scale for vacancy diffusion is faster than that for mechanical yield at a temperature of 2000 K. We thus observe vacancy-induced morphological changes in the nanotube structure, providing some insight into previously unexplained experimental features.

Both materials are band insulators, with substantial crystal field induced band gaps, reflecting strong transition-metal-O hybridization. However, due to the bonding topology in these materials, the valence bands are very narrow. This leads to high thermopowers within standard Boltzmann transport theory, and indicates that they can be the basis of good thermoelectric materials provided that they can be doped into metallic states with reasonable carrier mobility. In the case of beta-SrRh2O4, scattering due to Sr disorder is important. Also, again in beta-SrRh2O4, the band gap may be large enough to be of interest for photoelectrochemical H-2 production.

Three possible mechanisms, namely charge transport distribution, energy transfer, and intermolecular spin-orbital interaction, are discussed to interpret the Ir(ppy)(3) concentration-dependent magnetoresistance in the PVK+Ir(ppy)(3) composite. The comparison between the magnetic field effects measured from energy-transfer and nonenergy-transfer Ir(ppy)(3) doped polymer composites indicates that energy transfer and intermolecular spin-orbital interaction lead to rough and fine tuning for the magnetoresistance, respectively. Furthermore, the photocurrent dependence of magnetic field implies that the excited states contribute to the magnetoresistance through dissociation. As a result, the modification of singlet or triplet ratio of excited states through energy transfer and intermolecular spin-orbital interaction form a mechanism to tune the magnetoresistance in organic semiconducting materials.

TI Molecular dynamics calculations of the crystal-melt interfacial mobility for hexagonal close-packed Mg SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID LENNARD-JONES SYSTEM; DENDRITIC SOLIDIFICATION; UNDERCOOLED MELTS; PHASE-FIELD; SIMULATIONS; GROWTH; CRYSTALLIZATION; EQUILIBRIUM; MODEL; RATES AB The kinetics of crystallization from the melt is investigated for hcp Mg employing molecular dynamics simulations based on a recently developed embedded-atom-method interatomic potential. The interface mobility (mu), defined as the constant of proportionality between interface velocity and undercooling, is calculated for the three high-symmetry orientations (0001), (10 (1) over bar0), and (11 (2) over bar 0). The magnitudes of the interface mobilities are found to lie in the range of 40-80 cm/s/K. The mobilities mu(10 (1) over bar0) and mu(11 (2) over bar0) are found to be of comparable magnitude and approximately 1.7 times larger than mu(0001). The calculated dependence of mu on interface normal is discussed within the framework of the kinetic density-functional theory (DFT) formulation of Mikheev and Chernov.

Ali TI First-principles simulation of the interaction between adamantane and an atomic-force-microscope tip SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID DENSITY; ENERGY; APPROXIMATION; FUNCTIONALS; RESOLUTION; GROUP-11; DIAMOND; LIQUID AB A first-principles calculation is performed to investigate the interaction between adamantane and an atomic-force-microscope tip. By holding the tip at different distances from adamantane, three scans across two surfaces, one with a carbon atom at the center and the four other equivalent atoms at the corners, and the other with three equivalent carbon atoms in the front and three other atoms in the back forming a hexagon shape, reveal the detailed morphology of adamantane. For the first scan surface, a huge potential energy change is observed when the tip is close to adamantane, which results from the strong interaction from two hydrogen atoms attached to the center carbon atom. On the second scan surface, a radial scan shows the maximum force constant of 2 hartrees/A(2). This is proof of the hardness of adamantane. The rotational scan along the second surface reveals a systematic change in the potential energy as the tip is moved away from adamantane. Due to the existence of two types of carbon atoms in adamantane, the original potential maxima are shifted 60 degrees to new maxima. Between these maxima, there is a flat region. Finally, an x-y force scan over the above two surfaces is performed, where two distinctive images of hydrogen atoms are found. These results are detectable experimentally.

Malcolm TI Persistent mobility edges and anomalous quantum diffusion in order-disorder separated quantum films SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID NON-METALLIC CONDUCTION; LOW-TEMPERATURES; 2 DIMENSIONS; GRAPHENE; SYSTEMS; LOCALIZATION; STATISTICS; TRANSITION; TRANSPORT; CRYSTALS AB A concept of order-disorder separated quantum films is proposed for the design of ultrathin quantum films of a few atomic layers thick with unconventional transport properties. The concept is demonstrated through studying an atomic bilayer comprised of an ordered layer and a disordered layer. Without the disordered layer or the ordered layer, the system is a conducting two-dimensional (2D) crystal or an insulating disordered 2D electron system. Without the order-disorder phase separation, a disordered bilayer is insulating under large disorder. In an order-disorder separated atomic bilayer, however, we show that the system behaves remarkably different from conventional ordered or disordered electron systems, exhibiting metal-insulator transitions with persistent mobility edges and superdiffusive anomalous quantum diffusion.

TI Crystallography, anisotropic metamagnetism, and magnetocaloric effect in Tb5Si2.2Ge1.8 SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID MAGNETIC REFRIGERATION; PARAMAGNETIC PHASE; SINGLE-CRYSTAL; TRANSITIONS; LU AB The metamagnetic-like transitions and giant magnetocaloric effect were observed with the magnetic field applied parallel to the a and c axes, but not the b axis in a Tb5Si2.2Ge1.8 single crystal. The in situ x-ray powder diffraction study indicates that these metamagnetic-like transitions are coupled to crystallographic phase transformations occurring via strong magnetoelastic interactions. The magnetocrystalline anisotropy plays an important role in this system. Magnetic fields less than 40 kOe cannot drive either the magnetic or the crystallographic phase transition to completion for Tb5Si2.2Ge1.8 powder due to the strong single ion anisotropy of Tb.

TI Measurement of cross sections for alpha-induced reactions on Au-197 and thick-target yields for the (alpha,gamma) process on Zn-64 and Cu-63 SO PHYSICAL REVIEW C LA English DT Article ID ASTROPHYSICAL RP; GAMMA-PROCESSES; PROTON CAPTURE; REACTION-RATES; P-PROCESS; ENERGIES; RELEVANT; AL-26; GOLD AB We have measured the cross sections for the Au-197(alpha,gamma)Tl-201 and Au-197(alpha,2n)Tl-199 reactions in the 17.9- to 23.9-MeV energy range, and Au-197(alpha,n)Tl-200 reaction in the 13.4- to 23.9-MeV energy range using an activation technique. Thick-target yields for the Zn-64(alpha,gamma)Ge-68 (7- to 14-MeV) and Cu-63(alpha,gamma)Ga-67 (7-MeV) reactions were measured. For all measurements, natural elements were bombarded with He+ beams from the 88 In. Cyclotron at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). Irradiated samples were counted using a gamma-spectrometry system at LBNL's Low Background Facility. Measured Au-197(alpha,gamma)Tl-201 cross sections were compared with the NON-SMOKER theoretical values. The thick-target yields for the Zn-64(alpha,gamma)Ge-68 and Cu-63(alpha,gamma)Ga-67 reactions are also compared with the theoretical yield, calculated numerically using the energy dependent NON-SMOKER cross section data. In both cases, measured values are found to follow a trend of overlapping the predicted value near the alpha nucleus barrier height and fall below with a slowly widening difference between them in the sub-barrier energy points.

TI Dynamical chiral symmetry breaking and a critical mass SO PHYSICAL REVIEW C LA English DT Article ID DYSON-SCHWINGER EQUATIONS; Q(Q)OVER-BAR BOUND-STATES; QUANTUM CHROMODYNAMICS; QUARK PROPAGATOR; ASYMPTOTIC FREEDOM; HADRON PHYSICS; QCD; CONFINEMENT; MODEL; CONVERGENCE AB On a bounded, measurable domain of non-negative current-quark mass, realistic models of the QCD gap equation can simultaneously admit two nonequivalent dynamical chiral symmetry breaking (DCSB) solutions and a solution that is unambiguously connected with the realization of chiral symmetry in the Wigner mode. The Wigner solution and one of the DCSB solutions are destabilized by a current-quark mass, and both disappear when that mass exceeds a critical value. This critical value also bounds the domain on which the surviving DCSB solution possesses a chiral expansion. This value can therefore be viewed as an upper bound on the domain within which a perturbative expansion in the current-quark mass around the chiral limit is uniformly valid for physical quantities. For a pseudoscalar meson constituted of equal-mass current quarks, it corresponds to a mass m(0)(-)similar to 0.45 GeV. In our discussion, we employ properties of the two DCSB solutions of the gap equation that enable a valid definition of <(q) over barq > in the presence of a nonzero current mass. The behavior of this condensate indicates that the essentially dynamical component of chiral symmetry breaking decreases with increasing current-quark mass.

TI Identification of the G(/2)(9) proton and neutron band crossing in the N = Z nucleus Sr-76 SO PHYSICAL REVIEW C LA English DT Article ID N=Z; REGION; GAMMASPHERE; MODEL AB High-spin states in Sr-76 have been studied using Gammasphere plus Microball detector arrays. The known yrast band has been extended beyond the first band crossing, which involves the simultaneous alignment of pairs of g(9/2) protons and neutrons, to a tentative spin of 24h. The data are compared with the results of cranked relativistic mean-field (CRMF) and cranked relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov (CRHB) calculations. The properties of the band, including the g(9/2) proton/neutron band crossing frequency and moments of inertia, are found to be well reproduced by the CRHB calculations. Furthermore, the unpaired CRMF calculations show quite good agreement with the data beyond the band crossing region, indicating that pairing is weak at these frequencies. The high spin results suggest that there is little evidence for an isoscalar (t=0) np pair field. Moreover, a systematic study of the band crossings in even-even N=Z nuclei for the first time reveals that there is no evidence to support the existence of the Coulomb antipairing effect caused by the Coulomb exchange term.

CA n-TOF Collaboration TI Measurement of the neutron capture cross section of the s-only isotope Pb-204 from 1 eV to 440 keV SO PHYSICAL REVIEW C LA English DT Article ID GALACTIC CHEMICAL EVOLUTION; GIANT BRANCH STARS; R-PROCESS; CHRONOMETERS; ABUNDANCES; ELEMENTS; NUCLEOSYNTHESIS; SOLAR; CERN; LEAD AB The neutron capture cross section of Pb-204 has been measured at the CERN n_TOF installation with high resolution in the energy range from 1 eV to 440 keV. An R-matrix analysis of the resolved resonance region, between 1 eV and 100 keV, was carried out using the SAMMY code. In the interval between 100 keV and 440 keV we report the average capture cross section. The background in the entire neutron energy range was reliably determined from the measurement of a Pb-208 sample. Other systematic effects in this measurement were investigated and precisely corrected by means of detailed Monte Carlo simulations. We obtain a Maxwellian average capture cross section for Pb-204 at kT=30 keV of 79(3) mb, in agreement with previous experiments. However our cross section at kT=5 keV is about 35% larger than the values reported so far. The implications of the new cross section for the s-process abundance contributions in the Pb/Bi region are discussed. C1 Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe GmbH, FZK, Inst Kernphys, Karlsruhe, Germany.

TI Spectroscopy of the N = Z-2 nucleus Cr-46 and mirror energy differences SO PHYSICAL REVIEW C LA English DT Article ID F(7/2) SHELL; STATES AB Excited states in Cr-46 were sought using the C-12(Ar-36,2n) reaction. Gamma rays were detected with the Gammasphere array, and the Z value of the reaction products was determined with an ionization chamber located at the focal plane of the Fragment Mass Analyzer. In addition to the ground-state band observed up to I-pi=10(+) (tentatively 12(+)), five states are proposed to belong to the 3(-) band. The mirror energy differences with the analog states in Ti-46 present a pronounced staggering effect between the odd and even spin members that is reproduced well by shell-model calculations incorporating the different Coulomb contributions, monopole, multipole, and single-particle effects together with an isospin-nonconserving interaction that accounts for the so-called J=2 anomaly. Dramatically different E1 decay patterns for members of the 3(-) band between the Cr-46 and Ti-46 mirrors are also observed. C1 Univ Guelph, Dept Phys, Guelph, ON N1G 2W1, Canada.

Gudkov, Vladimir TI Neutron interferometric method to provide improved constraints on non-Newtonian gravity at the nanometer scale SO PHYSICAL REVIEW C LA English DT Article ID EARTHS GRAVITATIONAL-FIELD; QUANTUM STATES; DIMENSIONS; MILLIMETER; ENERGY AB In recent years, an energetic experimental program has set quite stringent limits on a possible "non-1/r(2)" dependence on gravity at short length scales. This effort has been largely driven by the predictions of theories based on compactification of extra spatial dimensions. It is characteristic of many such theories that the strength and length scales of such anomalous gravity are not clearly determined from first principles. As a result, it is productive to extend the current limits the range and strength of such hypothetical interactions. As a heavy, neutral, and (almost) stable particle, the neutron provides an ideal probe for the study of such hypothetical interactions at very short range. In this work, we describe methods based on neutron interferometry which have the capability to provide improved sensitivity non-Newtonian forces down to length scales at and below an nanometer.

Based on a systematic study of fusion in heavier systems, it is expected that a suppression of the fusion process will also be present in these light heavy-ion systems at extreme sub-barrier energies due to the saturation properties of nuclear matter. Previous phenomenological extrapolations of the S factor for light heavy-ion fusion based on optical model calculations may therefore have overestimated the corresponding reaction rates. A new "recipe" is proposed to extrapolate S factors for light heavy-ion reactions to low energies taking the hindrance behavior into account. It is based on a fit to the logarithmic derivative of the experimental cross section which is much less sensitive to overall normalization discrepancies between different data sets than other approaches. This method, therefore, represents a significant improvement over other extrapolations. The impact on the astrophysical reaction rates is discussed.

This provides us with the unique opportunity to study details in the scattering amplitudes that may have escaped the analysis of reactions induced on a nucleon target by kaon and hyperon beams at low energies. When folded with a typical experimental mass resolution, a narrow state with a width of 1 MeV would contribute by no more than 10% to the KN mass spectrum. On the contrary, a cusp would be easily detected near the Sigma production threshold in the Lambda N mass spectrum. C1 Thomas Jefferson Natl Accelerator Facil, Newport News, VA 23606 USA.

TI Quark-hadron duality in neutrino scattering SO PHYSICAL REVIEW C LA English DT Article ID SUM RULES; NUCLEON RESONANCES; LOCAL DUALITY; RENORMALIZATION; BEHAVIOR; REGION; PROTON AB We present a phenomenological model of the quark-hadron transition in neutrino-nucleon scattering. Using recently extracted weak nucleon transition form factors, we investigate the extent to which local and global quark-hadron duality is applicable in the neutrino F-1,F-2, and F-3 structure functions and contrast this with duality in electron scattering. Our findings suggest that duality works relatively well for neutrino-nucleon scattering for the F-2 and F-3 structure functions but not as well for F-1. We also calculate the quasielastic, resonance, and deep inelastic contributions to the Adler sum rule and find it to be satisfied to within 10% for 0.5 less than or similar to Q(2)less than or similar to 2 GeV2.

Using a macroscopic nuclear model we calculate the size and shape of nuclei in neutron star matter at zero temperature in a way dependent on the density dependence of the symmetry energy. We find that for smaller symmetry energy at subnuclear densities, corresponding to the larger density symmetry coefficient L, the charge number of nuclei is smaller and the critical density at which matter with nuclei or bubbles becomes uniform is lower. The decrease in the charge number is associated with the dependence of the surface tension on the nuclear density and the density of a sea of neutrons, whereas the decrease in the critical density can be generally understood in terms of proton clustering instability in uniform matter.

Several smooth terminating bands were established, and lifetime measurements were performed for the strongest one using the Doppler-shift attenuation method. Results obtained in the spin range 18-32h yield a transition quadrupole moment of 4.0 +/- 0.5eb, which corresponds to a quadrupole deformation epsilon(2)=0.26 +/- 0.03; this value is significantly larger than the ground-state deformation of tellurium isotopes. It was also possible to extract a transition quadrupole moment for the yrast band in Xe-114, produced via the 58Ni (58Ni, 2p gamma) reaction. A value of 3.0 +/- 0.5eb was found in the spin range 16-24h, which corresponds to a quadrupole deformation epsilon(2)=0.19 +/- 0.03.

TI Tracing the evolution of the symmetry energy of hot nuclear fragments from the compound nucleus towards multifragmentation SO PHYSICAL REVIEW C LA English DT Article ID PHASE-TRANSITION; NEUTRON-STARS; MATTER; CLUSTERS; ISOSPIN; PHYSICS; PROBE AB The evolution of the symmetry energy coefficient of the binding energy of hot fragments with increasing excitation is explored in multifragmentation processes following heavy-ion collisions below the Fermi energy. In this work, high-resolution mass spectrometric data on isotopic distributions of projectile-like fragments are systematically compared to calculations involving the statistical multifragmentation model (SMM). Within the SMM picture, the present study suggests a gradual decrease of the symmetry energy coefficient of the hot primary fragments from 25 MeV at the compound nucleus regime towards 15 MeV in the multifragmentation regime. The isotopic distributions of the hot primary fragments are found to be very wide and extend towards the neutron drip line. These findings are expected to have important implications in the modeling of the composition and the evolution of hot and dense astrophysical environments, such as those of core-collapse supernova.

TI Xi(0) and (Xi)over-bar(0) polarization measurements at 800 GeV/c SO PHYSICAL REVIEW D LA English DT Article ID INCLUSIVE PRODUCTION; 800-GEV/C PROTONS; LAMBDA AB The polarization of Xi(0) and Xi(0) hyperons produced by 800 GeV/c protons on a BeO target at a fixed targeting angle of 4.8 mrad is measured by the KTeV experiment at Fermilab. Our result of 9.7% for Xi(0) polarization shows no significant energy dependence when compared to a result obtained at 400 GeV/c production energy and at twice our targeting angle. The polarization of the Xi(0) is measured for the first time and found to be consistent with zero. We also examine the dependence of polarization on production p(t).

CA CDF Collaboration TI Measurement of the B+ production cross section in pp(-) collisions at root s=1960 GeV SO PHYSICAL REVIEW D LA English DT Article ID HEAVY-QUARK PRODUCTION; P(P)OVER-BAR COLLISIONS; 1.8 TEV; FRAGMENTATION FUNCTIONS; LUMINOSITY MONITOR; E+E ANNIHILATION; ROOT-S; DETECTOR; QCD AB We present a new measurement of the B+ meson differential cross section d sigma/dp(T) at root s=1960 GeV. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 739 pb(-1) collected with the upgraded CDF detector (CDF II) at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. B+ candidates are reconstructed through the decay B+-> J/psi K+, with J/psi ->mu(+)mu(-). The integrated cross section for producing B+ mesons with p(T)>= 6 GeV/c and vertical bar y vertical bar <= 1 is measured to be 2.78 +/- 0.24 mu b. C1 Univ Illinois, Urbana, IL 61801 USA.

Such a scenario provides solutions to both the Planck-weak hierarchy problem and the flavor puzzle of the SM without inducing a flavor problem. We find that, generically, tcZ couplings receive a huge enhancement, in particular, the right-handed ones can be O(1%). This results in BR(t -> cZ) at or above the sensitivity of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). At the International Linear Collider (ILC), single top production, via e(+)e(-)-> t $$(c) over bar, can be a striking signal for this scenario. In particular, it represents a physics topic of critical importance that can be explored even with a relatively low energy option, close to the tc threshold. At both the LHC and the ILC, angular distributions can probe the above prediction of dominance of right-handed couplings. C1 Syracuse Univ, Dept Phys, Syracuse, NY 13244 USA.

CA HERMES Collaboration TI Beam-charge azimuthal asymmetry and deeply virtual Compton scattering SO PHYSICAL REVIEW D LA English DT Article ID GENERALIZED PARTON DISTRIBUTIONS; IMPACT PARAMETER SPACE; NUCLEON AB The first observation of an azimuthal cross section asymmetry with respect to the charge of the incoming lepton beam is reported from a study of hard exclusive electroproduction of real photons. The data have been accumulated by the HERMES experiment at DESY, in which the HERA 27.6 GeV electron or positron beam scattered off an unpolarized hydrogen gas target. The observed asymmetry is attributed to the interference between the Bethe-Heitler process and the deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) process. The interference term is sensitive to DVCS amplitudes, which provide the most direct access to generalized parton distributions. C1 Univ Michigan, Randall Lab Phys, Ann Arbor, MI 48109 USA.

CA Hermes Collaboration TI Precise determination of the spin structure function g(1) of the proton, deuteron, and neutron SO PHYSICAL REVIEW D LA English DT Review ID DEEP-INELASTIC-SCATTERING; ELECTRON STORAGE-RING; STRUCTURE FUNCTIONS G(2); HERMES EXPERIMENT; PARTON DISTRIBUTIONS; NUCLEAR-POLARIZATION; MUON SCATTERING; ASYMMETRY A(2); LEADING ORDER; QCD ANALYSIS AB Precise measurements of the spin structure functions of the proton g(1)(p)(x,Q(2)) and deuteron g(1)(d)(x,Q(2)) are presented over the kinematic range 0.0041 <= x <= 0.9 and 0.18 GeV2 <= Q(2)<= 20 GeV2. The data were collected at the HERMES experiment at DESY, in deep-inelastic scattering of 27.6 GeV longitudinally polarized positrons off longitudinally polarized hydrogen and deuterium gas targets internal to the HERA storage ring. The neutron spin structure function g(1)(n) is extracted by combining proton and deuteron data. The integrals of g(1)(p,d) at Q(2)=5 GeV2 are evaluated over the measured x range. Neglecting any possible contribution to the g(1)(d) integral from the region x <= 0.021, a value of 0.330 +/- 0.011(theo)+/- 0.025(exp)+/- 0.028(evol) is obtained for the flavor-singlet axial charge a(0) in a leading-twist next-to-next-to-leading-order analysis.

TI Proton decay matrix elements with domain-wall fermions SO PHYSICAL REVIEW D LA English DT Article ID QUARK MASS RENORMALIZATION; CHIRAL PERTURBATION-THEORY; LATTICE-GAUGE-THEORIES; NUCLEON DECAY; QUANTUM CHROMODYNAMICS; WAVE-FUNCTIONS; QCD; COMPUTATION; SYMMETRIES; AMPLITUDES AB Hadronic matrix elements of operators relevant to nucleon decay in grand unified theories are calculated numerically using lattice QCD. In this context, the domain-wall fermion formulation, combined with nonperturbative renormalization, is used for the first time. These techniques bring reduction of a large fraction of the systematic error from the finite lattice spacing. Our main effort is devoted to a calculation performed in the quenched approximation, where the direct calculation of the nucleon to pseudoscalar matrix elements as well as the indirect estimate of them from the nucleon to vacuum matrix elements are performed. First results, using two flavors of dynamical domain-wall quarks for the nucleon to vacuum matrix elements, are also presented to address the systematic error of quenching, which appears to be small compared to the other errors. Our results suggest that the representative values for the low-energy constants from the nucleon to vacuum matrix elements are given as vertical bar alpha vertical bar similar or equal to vertical bar beta vertical bar similar or equal to 0.01 GeV3. For a more reliable estimate of the physical low-energy matrix elements, it is better to use the relevant form factors calculated in the direct method. The direct method tends to give a smaller value of the form factors, compared to the indirect one, thus enhancing the proton lifetime; indeed, for the pi(0) final state the difference between the two methods is quite appreciable.

CA BABAR Collaboration TI Improved measurements of the branching fractions for B-0 ->pi(+) pi(-) and B-0 -> K+ pi(-), and a search for B-0 -> K+ K- SO PHYSICAL REVIEW D LA English DT Article ID B-MESONS; PI-K; DECAYS; GAMMA; FACTORIZATION; DETECTOR; RATIOS AB We present measurements of the branching fractions for the charmless two-body decays B-0 ->pi(+)pi(-) and B-0 -> K+pi(-), and a search for the decay B-0 -> K+K-. We include the effects of final-state radiation from the daughter mesons for the first time, and quote branching fractions for the inclusive processes B-0 -> h(+)h('-)n gamma, where h and h(') are pions or kaons. The maximum value of the sum of the energies of the n undetected photons, E-gamma(max), is mode-dependent. Using a data sample of approximately 227x10(6) Upsilon(4S)-> B (B) over bar decays collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e(+)e(-) collider at SLAC, we measure: B(B-0 ->pi(+)pi(-)n gamma;E-gamma(max)=150 MeV)=(5.1 +/- 0.4 +/- 0.2)x10(-6), B(B-0 -> K+pi(-)n gamma;E-gamma(max)=105 MeV)=(18.1 +/- 0.6 +/- 0.6)x10(-6), B(B-0 -> K(+)K(-)n gamma;E-gamma(max)=59 MeV)< 0.5x10(-6)(90% confidence level), where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. Theoretical calculations can be used to extrapolate from the above measurements the nonradiative branching fractions, B-0. Using one such calculation, we find: B-0(B-0 ->pi(+)pi(-))=(5.5 +/- 0.4 +/- 0.3)x10(-6), B-0(B-0 -> K+pi(-))=(19.1 +/- 0.6 +/- 0.6)x10(-6), B-0(B-0 -> K+K-)< 0.5x10(-6)(90% confidence level). Meaningful comparison between theory and experiment, as well as combination of measurements from different experiments, can be performed only in terms of these nonradiative quantities.

In hadronic events at 10.54 GeV, charmed hadrons are almost exclusively leading particles in e(+)e(-)-> cc events, allowing direct studies of c-quark fragmentation. We measure a momentum distribution for Lambda(+)(c) baryons that differs significantly from those measured previously for charmed mesons. Comparing with a number of models, we find none that can describe the distribution completely. We measure an average scaled momentum of < x(p)>=0.574 +/- 0.009 and a total rate of N-Lambda c(qq)=0.057 +/- 0.002(exp.)+/- 0.015(BF) Lambda(+)(c) per hadronic event, where the experimental error is much smaller than that due to the branching fraction into the reconstructed decay mode, pK(-)pi(+). In Upsilon(4S) decays we measure a total rate of N-Lambda c(Upsilon)=0.091 +/- 0.006(exp.)+/- 0.024(BF) per Upsilon(4S) decay, and find a much softer momentum distribution than expected from B decays into a Lambda(+)(c) plus an antinucleon and one to three pions.

In the leading logarithmic approximation it is given by the Balitsky-Kovchegov (BK) equation for the evolution of color dipoles. In the next-to-leading order (NLO) the nonlinear equation gets contributions from quark and gluon loops. In this paper I calculate the quark-loop contribution to small-x evolution of Wilson lines in the NLO. It turns out that there are no new operators at the one-loop level-just as at the tree level, the high-energy scattering can be described in terms of Wilson lines. In addition, from the analysis of quark loops I find that the argument of coupling constant in the BK equation is determined by the size of the parent dipole rather than by the size of produced dipoles. These results are to be supported by future calculation of gluon loops. C1 Old Dominion Univ, Dept Phys, Norfolk, VA 23529 USA. Jefferson Lab, Theory Grp, Newport News, VA 23606 USA.

The cut-containing parts have been computed previously; our work supplies the remaining rational parts for these amplitudes, which contain two gluons of negative helicity and the rest positive, in an arbitrary color ordering. We also present formulae specific to the six-gluon cases with helicities (-+-+++) and (-++-++), as well as numerical results for six, seven, and eight gluons. Our construction of the n-gluon amplitudes illustrates the relatively modest growth in complexity of the on-shell-recursive calculation as the number of external legs increases. These amplitudes add to the growing body of one-loop amplitudes known for all n, which are useful for studies of general properties of amplitudes, including their twistor-space structure.

As an illustration, we construct a consistent covariant model of the DVCS amplitude and its associated generalized parton distributions using the quantum fluctuations of a fermion state at one loop in QED, thus providing a representation of the light-front wave functions (LFWFs) of a lepton in sigma space. A consistent model for hadronic amplitudes can then be obtained by differentiating the light-front wave functions with respect to the bound-state mass. The resulting DVCS helicity amplitudes are evaluated as a function of sigma and the impact parameter b(perpendicular to), thus providing a light-front image of the target hadron in a frame-independent three-dimensional light-front coordinate space. Models for the LFWFs of hadrons in (3+1) dimensions displaying confinement at large distances and conformal symmetry at short distances have been obtained using the AdS/CFT method. We also compute the LFWFs in this model in invariant three-dimensional coordinate space. We find that, in the models studied, the Fourier transform of the DVCS amplitudes exhibit diffraction patterns. The results are analogous to the diffractive scattering of a wave in optics where the distribution in sigma measures the physical size of the scattering center in a one-dimensional system.

The original model of Dvali, Gabadadze, and Porrati (DGP) demonstrated the existence of a "self-accelerating" branch of background solutions, but suffered from the presence of ghosts. We present a new large class of braneworld models which generalize the DGP model. Our models have negative curvature in the bulk, allow a second brane, and have general brane tensions and localized curvature terms. We exhibit three different kinds of ghosts, associated to the graviton zero mode, the radion, and the longitudinal components of massive graviton modes. The latter two species occur in the DGP model, for negative and positive brane tension, respectively. In our models, we find that the two kinds of DGP ghosts are tightly correlated with each other, but are not always linked to the feature of self-acceleration. Our models are a promising laboratory for understanding the origins and physical meaning of braneworld ghosts, and perhaps for eliminating them altogether.

In this note, we investigate the implications of this model for the electric dipole moment of the electron. With an additional broken U(1)(S) symmetry, the seesaw scale can be lowered to close to the electroweak scale. This additional symmetry also makes the connection between CP violation in quark sector to that in the lepton sector possible.

The NLO QCD corrections lead to less dependence on the renormalization scale (mu(R)) and the factorization scale (mu(F)) than the leading-order (LO) cross section, and they significantly increase the LO cross section. The rate for inclusive Higgs pair production is small in the standard model, but can be large in models with enhanced couplings of the b quark to the Higgs bosons.

The RG improvement takes into account important parts of the next-to-leading and higher-order logarithmic corrections to the kernel. The traveling wave front method for analyzing the BK equation is generalized to deal with RG-resummed kernels, restricting to the interesting case of fixed QCD coupling. The results show that the higher-order corrections suppress the rapid increase of the saturation scale with increasing rapidity. I also perform a diffusive differential equation approximation, which illustrates that some important qualitative properties of the kernel change when including RG corrections.

TI New Lorentz-violating nonlocal field theory from string theory SO PHYSICAL REVIEW D LA English DT Article ID U-DUALITY; BACKGROUNDS; BRANES; DIMENSIONS AB A four-dimensional field theory with a qualitatively new type of nonlocality is constructed from a setting where Kaluza-Klein particles probe toroidally compactified string theory with twisted boundary conditions. In this theory fundamental particles are not pointlike and occupy a volume proportional to their R-charge. The theory breaks Lorentz invariance but appears to preserve spatial rotations. At low energies, it is approximately N=4 Super Yang-Mills theory, deformed by an operator of dimension seven. The dispersion relation of massless modes in vacuum is unchanged, but under certain conditions in this theory, particles can travel at superluminal velocities.

We show that complementary information on CKM parameters may be obtained by studying the phases of Delta I=1 B ->(K-*pi)(I=1/2), B-s ->((KK)-K-*)(I=1) and B-s ->((KK)-K-*)(I=1) amplitudes. Hadronic uncertainties in these constraints from electroweak penguin operators O-9 and O-10, studied using flavor SU(3), are shown to be very small in B -> K pi pi and B-s -> K pi pi and somewhat larger in B-s -> KK pi. The first processes imply a precise linear relation between rho and eta, with a measurable slope and an intercept at eta=0 involving a theoretical error of 0.03. The decays B-s -> K pi pi permit a measurement of gamma involving a theoretical error below a degree. We note that while time-dependence is required when studying B-0 decays at the Upsilon(4S), it may not be needed when studying B-s decays at hadronic colliders.

We show that, while nonzero m(T) lowers the chiral condensate, the chiral transition remains of second order. It is argued that the mesonic excitations have a large decay rate at energies below 2m(T), owing to the Landau damping of the quarks and the van Hove singularities of the collective modes.

TI Separating dark physics from physical darkness: Minimalist modified gravity versus dark energy SO PHYSICAL REVIEW D LA English DT Article ID POWER SPECTRUM; HALO MODEL; CONSTRAINTS; COSMOLOGIES; TOMOGRAPHY; PARAMETERS AB The acceleration of the cosmic expansion may be due to a new component of physical energy density or a modification of physics itself. Mapping the expansion of cosmic scales and the growth of large scale structure in tandem can provide insights to distinguish between the two origins. Using Minimal Modified Gravity (MMG)-a single parameter gravitational growth index formalism to parametrize modified gravity theories-we examine the constraints that cosmological data can place on the nature of the new physics. For next generation measurements combining weak lensing, supernovae distances, and the cosmic microwave background we can extend the reach of physics to allow for fitting gravity simultaneously with the expansion equation of state, diluting the equation of state estimation by less than 25% relative to when general relativity is assumed, and determining the growth index to 8%. For weak lensing we examine the level of understanding needed of quasi- and nonlinear structure formation in modified gravity theories, and the trade off between stronger precision but greater susceptibility to bias as progressively more nonlinear information is used.

We present a simple, realistic framework for supersymmetry in which (most of) the virtues of the supersymmetric desert are naturally reproduced without having a large energy interval above the weak scale. The successful supersymmetric prediction for the low-energy gauge couplings is reproduced due to a gauged R symmetry present in the effective theory at the weak scale. The observable sector superpotential naturally takes the form of the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model, but without being subject to the Landau pole constraints up to the conventional unification scale. Supersymmetry breaking masses are generated by the F-term and D-term vacuum expectation values of singlet and U(1)(R) gauge fields, as well as by anomaly mediation, at a scale not far above the weak scale. We study the resulting pattern of supersymmetry breaking masses in detail and find that it can be quite distinct. We construct classes of explicit models within this framework, based on higher-dimensional unified theories with TeV-sized extra dimensions. A similar model based on a non-R symmetry is also presented. These models have a rich phenomenology at the TeV scale, and allow for detailed analyses of, e.g., electroweak symmetry breaking.

TI Semiinclusive hadronic B decays as null tests of the standard model SO PHYSICAL REVIEW D LA English DT Article ID DIRECT CP VIOLATION; QCD FACTORIZATION; ASYMMETRIES; EXTRACTION; SYMMETRY; MESONS; PHASES; QUARK AB We propose a new set of observables that can be used as experimental null tests of the Standard Model in charged and neutral B decays. The CP asymmetries in hadronic decays of charged B mesons into inclusive final states containing at least one of the following mesons: K-S,K-L, eta('), c $$(c) over bar bound states or neutral K-* or D mesons, for all of which a U-spin rotation is equivalent to a CP conjugation, are CKM suppressed and furthermore vanish in the exact U-spin limit. We show how this reduces the theoretical error by using Soft Collinear Effective Theory to calculate the CP asymmetries for KS,LXs+d, (KXs+d)-X-* and eta X-'(s+d) final states in the endpoint region. For these CP asymmetries only the flavor and not the charge of the decaying B meson needs to be tagged up to corrections of NLO in 1/m(b), making the measurements more accessible experimentally.

TI Condensates in driven aggregation processes SO PHYSICAL REVIEW E LA English DT Article ID MOLECULAR-SIZE DISTRIBUTION; STEADY-STATE SOLUTIONS; COAGULATION EQUATIONS; 2-DIMENSIONAL SYSTEMS; NETWORKS; KINETICS; GELATION; POLYMERIZATION; DIFFUSION; EMERGENCE AB We investigate aggregation driven by mass injection. In this stochastic process, mass is added with constant rate r and clusters merge at a constant total rate 1, so that both the total number of clusters and the total mass steadily grow with time. Analytic results are presented for the three classic aggregation rates K-i,K-j between clusters of size i and j. When K-i,K-j=const, the cluster size distribution decays exponentially. When K-i,K-j proportional to i+j or K-i,K-j proportional to ixj, there are two phases: (i) a condensate phase with a condensate containing a finite fraction of the mass in the system as well as finite clusters and (ii) a cluster phase with finite clusters only. For K-i,K-j proportional to i+j, the cluster size distribution, c(k), has a power-law tail, c(k)similar to k(-gamma) in either phase. The exponent is a nonmonotonic function of the injection rate gamma=r/(r-1) in the condensate phase r < 2 and gamma=r in the cluster phase r>2.

TI Fractality in complex networks: Critical and supercritical skeletons SO PHYSICAL REVIEW E LA English DT Article ID ESCHERICHIA-COLI; ORGANIZATION AB Fractal scaling-a power-law behavior of the number of boxes needed to tile a given network with respect to the lateral size of the box-is studied. We introduce a box-covering algorithm that is a modified version of the original algorithm introduced by Song [Nature (London) 433, 392 (2005)]; this algorithm enables easy implementation. Fractal networks are viewed as comprising a skeleton and shortcuts. The skeleton, embedded underneath the original network, is a special type of spanning tree based on the edge betweenness centrality; it provides a scaffold for the fractality of the network. When the skeleton is regarded as a branching tree, it exhibits a plateau in the mean branching number as a function of the distance from a root. For nonfractal networks, on the other hand, the mean branching number decays to zero without forming a plateau. Based on these observations, we construct a fractal network model by combining a random branching tree and local shortcuts. The scaffold branching tree can be either critical or supercritical, depending on the small worldness of a given network. For the network constructed from the critical (supercritical) branching tree, the average number of vertices within a given box grows with the lateral size of the box according to a power-law (an exponential) form in the cluster-growing method. The critical and supercritical skeletons are observed in protein interaction networks and the World Wide Web, respectively. The distribution of box masses, i.e., the number of vertices within each box, follows a power law P-m(M)similar to M-eta. The exponent eta depends on the box lateral size center dot(B). For small values of center dot(B), eta is equal to the degree exponent gamma of a given scale-free network, whereas eta approaches the exponent tau=gamma/(gamma-1) as center dot(B) increases, which is the exponent of the cluster-size distribution of the random branching tree. Finally, we study the perimeter H-alpha of a given box alpha, i.e., the number of edges connected to different boxes from a given box alpha as a function of the box mass M-B,M-alpha. It is obtained that the average perimeter over the boxes with box mass M-B is likely to scale as < H(M-B)>similar to M-B, irrespective of the box size center dot(B).

Our Brownian dynamics simulations show that the diffusion mechanism for vacancy defects occurs in two phases. The defect can glide along the crystal lattice directions, and it can rotate during an excited topological transition configuration to assume a different direction for the next period of gliding. The results for the vacancy defects are in good agreement with recent experiments. For interstitial point defects, which were not studied in the experiments, we find several of the same modes of motion as in the vacancy defect case along with two additional diffusion pathways. The interstitial defects are more mobile than the vacancy defects due to the more two-dimensional nature of the diffusion of the interstitial defects.

TI Synchronization transition of heterogeneously coupled oscillators on scale-free networks SO PHYSICAL REVIEW E LA English DT Article ID AVALANCHE DYNAMICS AB We investigate the synchronization transition of the modified Kuramoto model where the oscillators form a scale-free network with degree exponent lambda. An oscillator of degree k(i) is coupled to its neighboring oscillators with asymmetric and degree-dependent coupling in the form of Jk(i)(eta-1). By invoking the mean-field approach, we find eight different synchronization transition behaviors depending on the values of eta and lambda, and derive the critical exponents associated with the order parameter and the finite-size scaling in each case. The synchronization transition point J(c) is determined as being zero (finite) when eta >lambda-2 (eta 10(19) photons/(mm(2) mrad(2) s 0.1% bandwidth)).

With the technique established in the linear horizontal-vertical coupling study [ D. Sagan and D. Rubin, Phys. Rev. ST Accel. Beams 2, 074001 ( 1999)], we found a transformation to block diagonalize the transfer matrix and decouple the betatron motion and the synchrotron motion. By separating the usual dispersion term from the horizontal coordinate first, we were able to obtain analytic expressions of the transformation under reasonable approximations. We also obtained the perturbations to the betatron tune and the Courant-Snyder functions. The closed-orbit changes due to finite energy gains at rf cavities and radiation energy losses were studied by the 5 x 5 extended transfer matrix with the fifth column describing kicks in the 4-dimension phase space.

TI Feedback correction of injection errors using digital signal-processing techniques SO PHYSICAL REVIEW SPECIAL TOPICS-ACCELERATORS AND BEAMS LA English DT Article AB Efficient transfer of electron beams from one accelerator to another is important for 3rd-generation light sources that operate using top-up. In top-up mode, a constant amount of charge is injected at regular intervals into the storage ring to replenish beam lost primarily due to Touschek scattering. Top-up therefore requires that the complex of injector accelerators that fill the storage ring transport beam with a minimum amount of loss. Injection can be a source of significant beam loss if not carefully controlled. In this note we describe a method of processing injection transient signals produced by beam-position monitors and using the processed data in feedback. Feedback control using the technique described here has been incorporated in the Advanced Photon Source (APS) booster synchrotron to correct injection transients.

TI Parallelization of a beam dynamics code and first large scale radio frequency quadrupole simulations SO PHYSICAL REVIEW SPECIAL TOPICS-ACCELERATORS AND BEAMS LA English DT Article AB The design and operation support of hadron ( proton and heavy-ion) linear accelerators require substantial use of beam dynamics simulation tools. The beam dynamics code TRACK has been originally developed at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) to fulfill the special requirements of the rare isotope accelerator (RIA) accelerator systems. From the beginning, the code has been developed to make it useful in the three stages of a linear accelerator project, namely, the design, commissioning, and operation of the machine. To realize this concept, the code has unique features such as end-to-end simulations from the ion source to the final beam destination and automatic procedures for tuning of a multiple charge state heavy-ion beam. The TRACK code has become a general beam dynamics code for hadron linacs and has found wide applications worldwide. Until recently, the code has remained serial except for a simple parallelization used for the simulation of multiple seeds to study the machine errors. To speed up computation, the TRACK Poisson solver has been parallelized. This paper discusses different parallel models for solving the Poisson equation with the primary goal to extend the scalability of the code onto 1024 and more processors of the new generation of supercomputers known as BlueGene (BG/L). Domain decomposition techniques have been adapted and incorporated into the parallel version of the TRACK code. To demonstrate the new capabilities of the parallelized TRACK code, the dynamics of a 45 mA proton beam represented by 10(8) particles has been simulated through the 325 MHz radio frequency quadrupole and initial accelerator section of the proposed FNAL proton driver. The results show the benefits and advantages of large-scale parallel computing in beam dynamics simulations. C1 Argonne Natl Lab, Div Phys, Argonne, IL 60439 USA.

These facilities are currently being established at GSI-Darmstadt and DESY-Hamburg in Germany to access new and complementary parameter regimes for basic research which have never been obtained in laboratories so far: homogenous benchmark samples near solid density and temperatures from eV up to keV. This will provide important impact to many disciplines like astrophysics, atomic physics in dense environments, dense and strongly coupled plasma effects, radiation emission, equation of state. The spectroscopic analysis of the radiation emission plays a key role in this research to investigate the dynamics of electric fields in multi-particle coupled Coulomb systems and the modification of plasma statistics.

Most of the temporal evolution of the large-scale structures consists of swelling, shrinking, or rollover, with interactions between structures seeming to play a small role. While structures occasionally merge, rotational pairing events are not observed in the visualizations. The position of the recompression shock in the windward part of the angle-of-attack wake appears to fluctuate on rapid time scales, with disturbances in the shock position tending to follow the convection of large-scale structures in the adjoining shear layer. A consistent difference in the structure convection velocity seems to exist between the high-speed and low-speed sides of the shear layers in this study. The stream selection rule is followed for both the axisymmetric and angle-of-attack wakes before reattachment, but the recompression and reattachment processes greatly influence the structure convection velocity in the axisymmetric wake. Convection velocity measurements in the end-view visualizations show that the large-scale structures have a significant circumferential velocity component in the angle-of-attack wake during and after reattachment, while the large-scale structures in the axisymmetric wake do not, as expected.

The requirements for achieving both negative refraction and zero reflection are explicitly given for different arrangements of the material interface and different structures of the electric permittivity tenser e. We point out that having a left-handed medium is neither necessary nor sufficient for achieving negative refraction. The fundamental limitations are discussed for using these schemes to construct a perfect lens or "superlens," which is the primary context of the current interest in this field. The ability of an ideal "superlens" beyond diffraction-limit "focusing" is contrasted with that of a conventional lens or an immersion lens.

TI Observation of q-profile dependence in noble gas injection radiative shutdown times in DIII-D SO PHYSICS OF PLASMAS LA English DT Article ID FAST PLASMA SHUTDOWN; DISRUPTION MITIGATION; TOKAMAK; JET; IMPURITY; TEMPERATURE; DYNAMICS AB Massive injection of argon was used to terminate DIII-D discharges with different radial profiles of the safety factor q. An increasing delay before the onset of the central temperature collapse was observed as the overall (core and edge) q of the target plasma was increased. Additionally, an increase in the length of the current quench time was observed, consistent with reduced magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) mode amplitudes and reduced MHD mixing. These results are supported by measurements of heat and impurity mixing during the thermal collapse which observe that thermal transport and impurity mixing are not smooth functions of time but are accelerated when low-order (n=1) MHD modes are destabilized. These results demonstrate that low-order MHD modes play a central role in gas jet shutdowns and density-limit disruptions in tokamaks. (c) 2007 American Institute of Physics.

TI Determination of carbon release mechanisms in the DIII-D divertors from analysis of CI line profiles SO PHYSICS OF PLASMAS LA English DT Article ID VELOCITY DISTRIBUTION; TOKAMAK LIMITER; LOW-ENERGY; ATOMS; PLASMA AB During typical operation of the DIII-D tokamak, physical and chemical sputtering are the most important mechanisms for release of carbon at the divertor targets [J. L. Luxon, Nucl. Fusion 42, 614 (2002)]. Modeling of C I spectral line profiles is discussed as a technique for evaluating the relative contribution of each process and is applied to several types of discharges. The line shapes are symmetric and have shifts of about -0.03 A if they are produced solely from molecular dissociation, but they exhibit distinct asymmetries and shifts approaching -0.20 A if generated by physical sputtering. Modeled profiles must, in general, take account of both mechanisms in order to match experimental data. An alternate approach to distinguishing between the two processes, which relies on the relative intensities of C I, CD, and C-2 emissions, is examined in light of conclusions drawn from the line-shape analysis.

It is found that these ions tend to stabilize the QI mode in the case of co-injection and balanced injection, whereas the influence of counter-circulating ions is typically destabilizing because of finite-orbit-width effects.

TI Kinetic enhancement of Raman backscatter, and electron acoustic Thomson scatter SO PHYSICS OF PLASMAS LA English DT Article ID NATIONAL-IGNITION-FACILITY; LASER-PLASMA INTERACTIONS; VLASOV CODE; WAVE; DRIVEN; INSTABILITIES; TRANSITION; PHYSICS; REGIME AB One-dimensional Eulerian Vlasov-Maxwell simulations are presented that show kinetic enhancement of stimulated Raman backscatter (SRBS) due to electron trapping in regimes of heavy linear Landau damping. The conventional Raman Langmuir wave is transformed into a set of beam acoustic modes [L. Yin , Phys. Rev. E 73, 025401 (2006)]. A low phase velocity electron acoustic wave (EAW) is seen developing from the self-consistent Raman physics. Backscatter of the pump laser off the EAW fluctuations is reported and referred to as electron acoustic Thomson scatter. This light is similar in wavelength to, although much lower in amplitude than, the reflected light between the pump and SRBS wavelengths observed in single-hot-spot experiments, and previously interpreted as stimulated electron acoustic scatter [D. S. Montgomery , Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 155001 (2001)]. The EAW observed in our simulations is strongest well below the phase-matched frequency for electron acoustic scatter, and therefore the EAW is not produced by it. The beating of different beam acoustic modes is proposed as the EAW excitation mechanism, and is called beam acoustic decay. Supporting evidence for this process, including bispectral analysis, is presented. The linear electrostatic modes, found by projecting the numerical distribution function onto a Gauss-Hermite basis, include beam acoustic modes (some of which are unstable even without parametric coupling to light waves) and a strongly damped EAW similar to the observed one. This linear EAW results from non-Maxwellian features in the electron distribution, rather than nonlinearity due to electron trapping. (c) 2007 American Institute of Physics.

TI Effects of non-Maxwellian electron velocity distribution function on two-stream instability in low-pressure discharges SO PHYSICS OF PLASMAS LA English DT Article ID HALL THRUSTER; SECONDARY-EMISSION; NONLINEAR-THEORY; PLASMA; BEAM; SIMULATION; TRANSPORT; SHEATH; MODEL AB Electron emission from discharge chamber walls is important for plasma maintenance in many low-pressure discharges. The electrons emitted from the walls are accelerated by the sheath electric field and are injected into the plasma as an electron beam. Penetration of this beam through the plasma is subject to the two-stream instability, which tends to slow down the beam electrons and heat the plasma electrons. In the present paper, a one-dimensional particle-in-cell code is used to simulate these effects both in a collisionless plasma slab with immobile ions and in a cross-field discharge of a Hall thruster. The two-stream instability occurs if the total electron velocity distribution function of the plasma-beam system is a nonmonotonic function of electron speed. Low-pressure plasmas can be depleted of electrons with energy above the plasma potential. This study reveals that under such conditions the two-stream instability depends crucially on the velocity distribution function of electron emission. It is shown that propagation of the secondary electron beams in Hall thrusters may be free of the two-stream instability if the velocity distribution of secondary electron emission is a monotonically decaying function of speed. In this case, the beams propagate between the walls with minimal loss of the beam current and the secondary electron emission does not affect the thruster plasma properties.

TI Linear and nonlinear evolution of azimuthal clumping instabilities in a Z-pinch wire array SO PHYSICS OF PLASMAS LA English DT Article ID ENERGY DENSITY PHYSICS; X-RAY POWER; IMPLOSION DYNAMICS; DIFFERENT PHASES; DRIVEN HOHLRAUM; PLASMA; NUMBER; CONDUCTIVITY; ACCELERATOR; STABILITY AB This paper presents an analytic theory on the linear and nonlinear evolution of the most unstable azimuthal clumping mode, known as the pi-mode, in a discrete wire array. In the pi-mode, neighboring wires of the array pair-up as a result of the mutual attraction of the wires which carry current in the same direction. The analytic solution displays two regimes, where the collective interactions of all wires dominate, versus where the interaction of the neighboring, single wire dominates. This solution was corroborated by two vastly different numerical codes which were used to simulate arrays with both high wire numbers (up to 600) and low wire number (8). All solutions show that azimuthal clumping of discrete wires occurs before appreciable radial motion of the wires. Thus, absence of azimuthal clumping of wires in comparison with the wires' radial motion may imply substantial lack of wire currents. While the present theory and simulations have ignored the plasma corona and axial variations, it is argued that their effects, and the complete account of the three-dimensional feature of the pi-mode, together with a scaling study of the wire number, may be expediently simulated by using only one single wire in an annular wedge with a reflection condition imposed on the wedge's boundary.

TI Inflation threshold: A nonlinear trapping-induced threshold for the rapid onset of stimulated Raman scattering from a single laser speckle SO PHYSICS OF PLASMAS LA English DT Article ID COULOMB COLLISION MODEL; HOT-SPOT EXPERIMENTS; PARAMETRIC-INSTABILITIES; FREQUENCY-SHIFT; PLASMA-WAVES; BRILLOUIN-SCATTERING; LANGMUIR TURBULENCE; REDUCED-DESCRIPTION; DRIVEN; OSCILLATIONS AB The rapid onset, with increasing laser intensity, of levels of backward stimulated Raman scattering (BSRS) exceeding linear convective predictions, from single laser hot spots was predicted by simulations [Vu , Phys. Plasmas 9, 1745 (2002)], and has been observed [Montgomery , Phys. Plasmas 9, 2311 (2002)] in nonlinear regimes dominated by electron trapping. A theory for this inflation threshold is given here. The threshold is the result of competition between velocity diffusion and trapping, and is exceeded when the convectively amplified SRS Langmuir wave (LW) achieves an amplitude for which the coherent trapping velocity increment of electrons in the LW (the half-width of the trapping separatrix) exceeds the rms diffusion velocity (resulting from background plasma fluctuations), accumulated in one bounce time, for electrons with mean velocities near the phase velocity of the LW. The results of this theory, when the kinetic theory of the one-dimensional (1D) reduced-description particle-in-cell (RPIC) simulation is used, are in good agreement with a series of 1D RPIC simulations. The theory is naturally generalized to three dimensions, and is compatible with macroscopic laser interaction codes such as pF3d [Berger , Phys. Plasmas 5, 4337 (1998)]. Comparison of the LW trapping-induced inflation threshold to the LW threshold for the Langmuir decay instability provides an estimate for the transition between nonlinear saturation regimes. In an independent hot spot model of many hot spots, statistics suggests that the inflation threshold intensity will control the rapid onset of strong BSRS in laser beams smoothed by random phase plates.

The island shapes including truncated pyramids and nanorods are radically different from those grown on metal-free surfaces and arise by a process whereby intermixing between deposited Ge and substrate Si atoms from the onset of island formation facilitate the island shape evolution.

These nanocrystals have different shapes and different faceting depending on the substrate used and their crystallographic orientation. EELS measurements have confirmed the high purity of these crystals. The observed PL peak was in the range of 0.9-0.95 eV. The strongest PL intensity was observed for the nanocrystals with the larger diameters.

We assign the migration of O-2 molecules in the near-interface oxide layer as the rate-limiting process in the initial stages of thermal oxidation. Diffusion of O-2 Molecules in the bulk oxide becomes the rate limiting step as oxidation progresses. We also show that additional processes, namely lateral diffusion, smoothing of asperities and interface trapping of errant O species in Si, are activated during thermal oxidation, resulting in the well-known smoothness of Si-SiO2 interfaces.

This surprising behavior, which is thought to be impossible in bulk systems, is well described by a simple, classical thermodynamic model. Surface pre-melting, which occurs for materials with free surfaces, is suppressed by the presence of the host matrix, thereby allowing both kinetic supercooling and kinetic superheating of the embedded nanocrystals.

This was surprising since it was thought that the observed linewidths of shallow impurities in silicon are at their fundamental lifetime limit. We report improved high-resolution infrared absorption studies of these impurities in isotopically enriched Si-28, Si-29 and Si-30. The new data improves oil the linewidths of earlier spectra due to reduced concentration broadening. Some of the transitions in Si-28 show the narrowest FWHM ever reported for shallow donor and acceptor absorption transitions. C1 [Steger, M.; Yang, A.; Karaiskaj, D.; Thewalt, M. L.

Interdigitated metal gates on a Sb-implanted Si-28 epi-layer are used to apply the electric fields. Two quadratic Stark effects are resolved: a decrease of the hyperfine coupling between electron and nuclear spins of the donor and a decrease in electron Zeeman g-factor. A significant linear Stark effect is also observed, which we suggest arises from strain. We discuss the results in the context of the Kane model quantum computer. C1 [Bradbury, F.

We observe two modes, one of Which is the near-uniform spin excitation. From the magnetic-field dependence of the frequencies and the ratio between the intensities of these modes, we obtain the spin stiffness D as well as the bulk and surface anisotropies. For as-grolAm samples with similar to 5-6% concentration of Mn, D = 6 +/- 1 T(.)nm(2) while D = 18 +/- 3 (25 +/- 4) T(.)nm(2) for a 3% Mn as-grown (annealed) sample.

Large XMCD asymmetries at the L-3 edge indicate significant spin-polarization of the density of states at the Fermi energy. The spectral shapes of the XAS and XMCD are nearly identical with those for Ga1-xMnxAs indicating that the hybridization of Mn d states and anion p states is similar in the two materials. Finally, compensation with sulfur donors not only lowers the ferromagnetic Curie temperature but also reduces the spin polarization of the hole states. C1 [Stone, P.

We observed strong optical transitions from the valence band to both the lower (E-) and upper (E,) conduction subbands that arise from the N induced splitting of the conduction band (E-M) of the GaAs1-yPy host.

The discovery of such particles would address a number of important questions in modern physics including the origin and composition of dark matter in the universe and the unification of the fundamental forces. This review describes the techniques used in SNIP-searches at collider experiments and the limits so far obtained on the production of SMPs which possess various colour, electric and magnetic charge quantum numbers. We also describe theoretical scenarios which predict SMPs along with the phenomenology needed to model their production at colliders and interactions with matter. In addition, the interplay between collider searches and open questions in cosmology such as dark matter composition is addressed. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Much of the recent experimental effort has been focused on the precision measurements of the nucleon-to-Delta transition by means of electromagnetic probes. We confront the results of these measurements with the state-of-the-art calculations based on chiral effective-field theories (EFT), lattice Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), large-N-c relations, perturbative QCD, and QCD-inspired models. We also discuss the link of the nucleon-to-Delta form factors to generalized parton distributions (GPDs). Some of the theoretical approaches are reviewed in detail, in particular, recent dynamical and unitary-isobar models of pion electroproduction, which are extensively used in the interpretation of experiments. A novel extension of chiral EFTs to the energy domain of the Delta-resonance is reviewed. The two-photon exchange effects in the electroexcitation of the Delta-resonance are addressed.

TI Key features of intense geospace storms - A comparative study of a solar maximum and a solar minimum storm SO PLANETARY AND SPACE SCIENCE LA English DT Article DE storms and substorms; solar wind-magnetosphere interactions; magnetosphere-ionosphere interactions; magnetospheric configuration and dynamics; energetic particles; trapped; current systems; particle acceleration ID MAGNETOSPHERIC ION COMPOSITION; RING-CURRENT; GEOMAGNETIC STORM; MAGNETIC STORMS; ELECTRIC-FIELDS; FEBRUARY 1986; PARTICLE-ACCELERATION; PLASMA SHEET; O+ IONS; MAGNETOTAIL AB This paper addresses the question of particular causes and dynamical characteristics of intense geospace storms through the comparative study of two specific examples: a solar maximum storm (4-6 June 1991) and a solar minimum storm (24-26 September 1998). We concentrate on issues pertaining to the origin, development, dynamical evolution and recovery of intense storms. The comparative study addresses the solar and interplanetary drivers, the ring current composition and its implications, the storm-substorm relationship, and the ring current decay. Our aim has been to identify features assumed common or repeatable and to elaborate on similarities or differences between two intense storms that are separated by 7 years and which occurred in different phases of the solar cycle. In view of planetary exploration, which is becoming the focus of space science both in the US and in Europe, classifying the drivers and parameters of solar-planetary connection is of particular interest. Solar system exploration will undoubtedly benefit from detailed knowledge of the conditions leading to intense geospace storms. The main conclusions of this paper can be listed as follows. More intense solar events do not necessarily result in more intense geospace storms. Storm development is driven by the appropriate interplanetary conditions; however, storm evolution is not defined by interplanetary conditions alone, but also by internal magnetospheric conditions - namely plasma sheet density and ion composition. Storm dynamics may also be modified by solar wind pressure. Magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling in the form of ionospheric outflow during storms presumably is the key to substorm, influence on storm dynamics; i.e., substorms influence storm development substantially, whenever they drive intense outflow of ionospheric-origin O+ ions into the magnetosphere. In particular, substorm-driven O+ outflow is one of the main features of intense storms. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

This is evident in the Arabidopsis ssi2/fab2 mutant, which encodes a defective stearoyl-acyl carrier protein-desaturase (S-ACP-DES) and consequently accumulates high levels of stearic acid (18:0) and low levels of 18:1. In addition to SSI2, the Arabidopsis genome encodes six S-ACP-DES-like enzymes, the native expression levels of which are unable to compensate for a loss-of-function mutation in ssi2. The presence of low levels of 18:1 in the fab2 null mutant indicates that one or more S-ACP-DES isozymes contribute to the 18:1 pool. Biochemical assays show that in addition to SSI2, four other isozymes are capable of desaturating 18:0-ACP but with greatly reduced specific activities, which likely explains the inability of these SSI2 isozymes to substitute for a defective ssi2. Lines containing T-DNA insertions in S-ACP-DES1 and S-ACP-DES4 show that they are altered in their lipid profile but contain normal 18:1 levels. However, overexpression of the S-ACP-DES1 isoform in ssi2 plants results in restoration of 18:1 levels and thereby rescues all ssi2-associated phenotypes. Thus, high expression of a low specific activity S-ACP-DES is required to compensate for a mutation in ssi2. Transcript level of S-ACP-DES isoforms is reduced in high 18:1-containing plants. Enzyme activities of the desaturase isoforms in a 5-fold excess of 18:1-ACP show product inhibition of up to 73%. Together these data indicate that 18:1 levels are regulated at both transcriptional and post-translational levels. C1 Univ Kentucky, Dept Plant Pathol, Lexington, KY 40546 USA.

TI Current and potential distribution in a divertor with toroidally-asymmetric biasing of the divertor plate SO PLASMA PHYSICS AND CONTROLLED FUSION LA English DT Article ID PLASMA CONVECTION; BOUNDARY-CONDITIONS; SPHERICAL TOKAMAK; MAST; PHYSICS AB Toroidally-asymmetric biasing of the divertor plates may increase convective cross-field transport in SOL and thereby reduce the divertor heat load. Experiments performed with the MAST spherical tokamak generally agree with a simple theory of non-axisymmetric biasing. However, some of the experimental results have not yet received a theoretical explanation. In particular, existing theory seems to overestimate the asymmetry between the positive and the negative biasing. Also lacking a theoretical explanation is the experimentally observed increase of the average floating potential in the main SOL in the presence of biasing. In this paper we attempt to solve these problems by accounting for the closing of the currents (driven by the biasing) in a strong-shear region near the X-point. We come up with a picture which, at least qualitatively, agrees with these experimental results. C1 Lawrence Livermore Natl Lab, Livermore, CA 94551 USA.

The new RAYCON code evolves each ray independently in phase space, together with its amplitude, phase and focusing tensor to describe the transport of power along the ray. Particular emphasis is laid on caustics and mode conversion layers, where a linear phenomenon splits a single incoming ray into two. The complete mode conversion algorithm is described and tested for the first time, using the two space dimensions that are relevant in a tokamak. Applications are shown, using a cold plasma model to account for mode conversion at the ion-hybrid resonance in the Joint European Torus. C1 Royal Inst Technol, NADA, S-10044 Stockholm, Sweden.

Alternative models have been suggested, including delamination, meteorite impact, small-scale rift-related convection, and chemical mantle heterogeneities. We review available data sets on uplift, strain localization, age and chemistry of igneous material, and tomography for the North Atlantic Igneous Province and compare them with predictions from the mantle plume and alternative models. The mantle plume concept is quite successful in explaining the formation of the North Atlantic Igneous Province, but unexplained aspects remain. Delamination and impact models are currently not supported. Rift-related small-scale convection models appear to be able to explain volcanic rifted margin volcanism well. However, the most important problem that nonplume models need to overcome is the continuing, long-lived melt anomaly extending via the Greenland and Faeroe ridges to Iceland. Mantle heterogeneities resulting from an ancient subducted slab are included in plate tectonic models to explain the continuing melt production as an alternative to the mantle plume model, but there are still uncertainties related to this idea that need to be solved.

Francino, M. Pilar TI Selection against Spurious Promoter Motifs Correlates with Translational Efficiency across Bacteria SO PLOS ONE LA English DT Article AB Because binding of RNAP to misplaced sites could compromise the efficiency of transcription, natural selection for the optimization of gene expression should regulate the distribution of DNA motifs capable of RNAP-binding across the genome. Here we analyze the distribution of the -10 promoter motifs that bind the sigma(70) subunit of RNAP in 42 bacterial genomes. We show that selection on these motifs operates across the genome, maintaining an over-representation of -10 motifs in regulatory sequences while eliminating them from the nonfunctional and, in most cases, from the protein coding regions. In some genomes, however, -10 sites are over-represented in the coding sequences; these sites could induce pauses effecting regulatory roles throughout the length of a transcriptional unit. For nonfunctional sequences, the extent of motif under-representation varies across genomes in a manner that broadly correlates with the number of tRNA genes, a good indicator of translational speed and growth rate. This suggests that minimizing the time invested in gene transcription is an important selective pressure against spurious binding. However, selection against spurious binding is detectable in the reduced genomes of host-restricted bacteria that grow at slow rates, indicating that components of efficiency other than speed may also be important. Minimizing the number of RNAP molecules per cell required for transcription, and the corresponding energetic expense, may be most relevant in slow growers. These results indicate that genome-level properties affecting the efficiency of transcription and translation can respond in an integrated manner to optimize gene expression. The detection of selection against promoter motifs in nonfunctional regions also confirms previous results indicating that no sequence may evolve free of selective constraints, at least in the relatively small and unstructured genomes of bacteria.

By GC-mass-spectral analysis, we find that 2/3 of the CO2 derives from the C(l) [methylene] carbon and the remaining 1/3 comes from the C(2) [tertiary] carbon, with none coming from the C(3) [methyl group] carbon. The CO also comes mainly from the C(l) [methylene] carbon (>= 80%). This is in contrast to the solid-phase oxidation products, which have been found (by C-13 NMR on these same labeled PP materials) to originate predominantly (80-85%) from oxidation at the C(2) [tertiary] carbon. These results can be understood in terms of the free-radical reactions that underlie the polypropylene oxidation chemistry. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Male Sprague-Dawley rats were administered a single IP injection (150 mu mol/kg) of either 3,3', 4,4'-tetrabromobiphenyl, 3,3', 4,4'-tetrachlorobiphenyl, 3,3', 5,5'-tetrabromobiphenyl, 2', 3,3', 4,5-pentachlorobiphenyl, 3,3', 4,4', 5-pentachlorobiphenyl, 2,2', 3,3', 5,5'-hexachlorobiphenyl, or 3,3', 4,4', 5,5'-hexabromobiphenyl in corn oil (10 ml/kg). One week later, the activities of catalase, peroxisomal fatty acyl-CoA oxidase, and peroxisomal beta-oxidation as well as cytochrome P450 4A (CYP4A) protein content were determined in subcellular liver fractions. None of the peroxisomal enzyme activities were significantly increased by any of the halogenated biphenyl congeners tested. Except for minor (approx. 25%) increases in the total CYP4A content following treatment with 2,2', 3,3', 5,5'-hexachlorobiphenyl and 3,3', 5,5'-tetrabromobiphenyl, CYP4A protein contents were not increased by any treatment. The two Ah receptor agonists, 3,3', 4,4'-tetrabromobiphenyl and 3,3', 4,4', 5-pentachlorobiphenyl, significantly diminished the liver content of CYP4A proteins and activities of the peroxisomal enzymes studied. Since a range of congeners with different biologic and toxicologic activities were selected for this study, it may be concluded that the polyhalogenated biphenyls do not induce peroxisome proliferation in the male rat, but rather certain members of this class of compounds down regulate peroxisome-associated enzymes. Since PCBs and PBBs do not increase enzyme activities and expression of proteins associated with PPAR alpha, these agents are therefore exerting their carcinogenic and promoting activities by some other mechanism.

These devices have become smaller and are approaching a size regime where traditional precision components, such as precision bearings and springs, are not available. This paper introduces the compliant high-precision E-quintet ratcheting (CHEQR) mechanism as a means of exploiting the advantages of compliant mechanisms to create safety devices that eliminate the need for bearings and springs. The pseudo-rigid-body model was used to design a mechanism with the desired force-deflection characteristics, and the result is a radical departure from traditional ratchet and pawl mechanisms. Large-scale proof-of-concept prototypes were followed by micro-wire EDM fabrication of precipitation hardened stainless steel devices with flexible segment widths of 50 mu m. The device was integrated with a 6 mm ratchet wheel and rotary solenoid actuator. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. C1 Brigham Young Univ, Dept Mech Engn, Provo, UT 84602 USA.

Probability functions play a critical role in describing the statistical distribution of different constituents in a heterogeneous media. In this study a 3-dimensional two-point correlation function is utilized to characterize the anisotropic porous media of a Cathode materials to incorporate all the details of the microstructure. These correlation functions are then linked to the effective properties using homogenization relations. An anisotropioc Green's function solution is used to solve the set of field equations. Examples in this study demonstrated how the model captured the anisotropy in effective conductivity of the random heterogeneous media.

These fuels are based on an actinide nitride within an inert matrix. The application of SHS is particularly important in the synthesis of americium (Am) based ceramics; since the rapid heating and cooling cycles used in this process will help to minimize vaporization loss of Am, which is a major problem in synthesizing Am-based ceramics. Manganese, praseodymium, and dysprosium are being used as physical and chemical surrogates for various actinides. Actinide nitride powders produced using auto-ignition combustion synthesis (AICS) are subsequently reacted with zirconium powder using SHS to produce a final fuel pellet. This paper will discuss the research to date on the synthesis of Am-N powders as well as the production of dense Zr-Am-N pellets as a model ceramic fuel system.

Primary knock-on atom (PKA) energies, E-p, from 0.5 keV to 20 keV are considered at a temperature of 100 K and 600 K, and the results are compared with those performed in pure alpha-Fe. There are distinct differences in the number and,size of defect clusters within displacement cascades with and without substitutional helium atoms. Particularly, the number and size of helium-vacancy clusters generally increase with increasing helium concentration and PKA energy. However, the number of He-vacancy (He-V) clusters increases with increasing temperature, the mean size of He-V clusters is independent on temperature for the same He concentration and energy recoils.

Particular emphasis is placed on the deformation microstructure responsible for the changes in mechanical behavior. Neutron irradiation at low temperature up to 1 dpa induced a high number density of defect clusters, which resulted in irradiation-induced hardening. Dislocation channel deformation is observed for doses greater than 0.1 dpa, and is coincident with prompt plastic instability at yield. TEM analysis suggests that the loss of work hardening capacity in irradiated zirconium and zircaloy-4 at higher doses is mainly due to dislocation channels that are formed under a high local resolved shear stress, leading to the observed localized deformation.

The derivation is based on binary processes and the general formula of Siegert [Siegert AJF. On the first-passage time probability problem. Physical Review 195 1; 81:617-23]. The relation for the probability density function of the first-passage time is identical to the commonly used formula that was derived by VanMarcke [VanMarcke E. On the distribution of the first-passage time for normal stationary random processes. Journal of Applied Mechanics ASME 1975; 42:215-20] for Gaussian processes. The present derivation is based on more general conditions and reveals the criteria for the validity of the approximation. Properties of binary processes are also used to derive a hierarchy of upper bounds for any scalar process. (C) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Unfortunately, post-transmission delay of communication history algorithms is most apparent when a system is idle. In this paper, we propose a fast delivery protocol to reduce the latency of message ordering. The protocol optimizes the total ordering process by waiting for messages only from a subset of the machines in the group, and by fast acknowledging messages on behalf of other machines. Our test results indicate that the fast delivery protocol is suitable for both idle and heavy load systems, while reducing the latency of message ordering.

Although current technology has been based mainly on land-based wind turbine designs, more turbines are being designed specifically for offshore applications. New standards have been developed to address the unique design environment imposed by loading from both turbulent wind and ocean wave forces acting on the blades, rotor nacelle assembly (RNA), and support structure. The rapid growth of offshore wind applications has presented new challenges to wind turbine engineers. Technology unique to offshore oil and gas industry must be joined with the design technology for wind turbines. This paper is a short overview of some of the challenges facing the growth of offshore wind technology. C1 [Butterfield, C. P.

On p-type c-Si float-zone wafers, we used an amorphous n/i contact to the top surface and an i/p contact to the back surface to obtain an open circuit voltage (V-oc) of 0.67 V in a 1 cm(2) cell with an independent confirmed efficiency of 18.2%. This is the best reported p-type SHJ solar cell, at least by IfWCVD. On n-type c-Si float-zone wafers, we used an amorphous (p/i) front emitter and an a-Si:H (i/n) back contact to achieve a V-oc of 0.69 V on 1 cm(2) cell. We found that proper c-Si surface cleaning prior to the amorphous Si deposition and double-heterojunction is a key to the high V-oc. In the heterojunction region, an abrupt interface from c-Si to a-Si:H results in a high V-oc; while incorporating a transition to either microcrystalline or epitaxial Si at the c-Si interface results in a low V-oc. Lifetime measurement shows that the back surface recombination velocity can be reduced to similar to 15 cm/s through a-Si:H passivation. Amorphous silicon heterojunction layers on crystalline wafers thus combine low-surface recombination velocity with excellent carrier extraction. The advantages of using HWCVD in comparing with plasma-enhanced CVD are the fast deposition rate and, more important, a wide range of deposition parameters enabling formation of an effective heterojunction with high V-oc. Further, the heterojuction cell processing is entirely below 200 degrees C making it one of the few promising low-stress methods for the manufacturing of next generation ultra-thin Si wafer solar cells.

What major areas of science exist and how are they interlinked? Which areas are major knowledge producers; which ones are consumers? Computational scientometrics - the application of bibliometric/scientometric methods to large-scale scholarly datasets - and the communication of results via maps of science might help us answer these questions. This paper represents the results of a prototype study that aims to map the structure and evolution of chemistry research over a 30 year time frame. Information from the combined Science (SCIE) and Social Science (SSCI) Citations Indexes from 2002 was used to generate a disciplinary map of 7.227 journals and 671 journal clusters. Clusters relevant to study the structure and evolution of chemistry were identified using JCR categories and were further clustered into 14 disciplines. The changing scientific composition of these 14 disciplines and their knowledge exchange via citation linkages was computed. Major changes on the dominance, influence, and role of Chemistry, Biology, Biochemistry, and Bioengineering over these 30 years are discussed. The paper concludes with suggestions for future work.

A variety of studies have been done at the institution and country level, many with an eye toward policy implications. However, the question of how to identify the most fruitful targets for future collaboration in high-performing areas of science has not been addressed. This paper presents a method for identifying targets for future collaboration between two institutions. The utility of the method is shown in two different applications: identifying specific potential collaborations at the author level between two institutions, and generating an index that can be used for strategic planning purposes. Identification of these potential collaborations is based on finding authors that belong to the same small paper-level community, using a paper-level map of science from the combined 2003 SCIE/SSCI/Proceedings databases containing nearly 1 million papers organized into 117,435 communities.

The presented work focuses on tools and mechanisms that simplify scientific application development and deployment tasks, such that only minimal adaptation is needed when moving from one HPC system to another or after HPC system upgrades. The overall technical approach focuses on the concept of adapting the HPC system environment to the actual needs of individual scientific applications instead of the traditional scheme of adapting scientific applications to individual HPC system environment properties. The presented prototype implementation is based on the mature and lightweight chroot virtualization approach for Unix-type systems with a focus on virtualized file system structure and virtualized shell environment variables utilizing virtualized environment configuration descriptions in Extensible Markup Language (XML) format. The presented work can be easily extended to other virtualization technologies, such as system-level virtualization solutions using hypervisors. C1 [Koenning, B.; Engelmann, C.; Scott, S.

However a majority of system-level virtualization projects is guided by the server consolidation market. As a result, current virtualization solutions appear to not be suitable for high performance computing (HPC) which is typically based on large-scale systems. On another hand there is significant interest in exploiting virtual machines (VMs) within HPC for a number of other reasons. By virtualizing the machine, one is able to run a variety of operating systems and environments as needed by the applications. Virtualization allows users to isolate workloads, improving security and reliability. It is also possible to support non-native environments and/or legacy operating environments through virtualization. In addition, it is possible to balance work loads, use migration techniques to relocate applications from failing machines, and isolate fault systems for repair. This document presents the challenges for the implementation of a system-level virtualization solution for HPC. It also presents a brief survey of the different approaches and techniques to address these challenges.

Polarized proton collisions atabeam energyof 100 GeV havebeen achieved in RHIC since 2001. Recently, polarized proton beam was accelerated to 250 GeV in RHIC for the first time. UnRe accelerating unpolarized protons, the challenge for achieving high energy polarized protons is to fight the various mechanisms in an accelerator that can lead to partial or total polarization loss due to the interaction of the spin vector with the magnetic fields. We report on the progress of the RHIC polarized proton program. We also present the strategies of how to preserve the polarization through the entire acceleration chain. i.e. a 200 MeV linear accelerator, the Booster, the AGS and RHIC.

Collisions at center-of-mass energies up to 500 GeV and beam polarizations approaching 70% (longitudinal or transverse) are provided to two experiments, STAR and PHENIX, at luminosities >= 10(32)/cm(2)/sec. Transverse polarized beam has also been provided to the BRAHMS experiment. Measurements that bear on the important question of the spin content of the nucleon are beginning to appear. Over the next 10 years, as the performance of polarized proton running at RHIC is further developed, the Spin Physics program at RHIC will provide definitive measurements of the contributions to the proton's spin of the gluon, the sea quarks and the orbital motion of the partons in the proton's wave function. We plan to extend the reach of our study of the role of spin in QCD with the development of "eRHIC," which will provide polarized e-p collisions to a new detector.

During the recent polarized p+p run in 2006, the PHENIX experiment collected 7.5pb(-1) data with average longitudinal beam polarization similar to 60%, and successfully reconstructed about 20K J/psi candidates from the level-2 trigger filtered data.

Based on this, we further study the integrated asymmetry weighted with transverse-momentum. They can be evaluated in terms of the twist-three quark-gluon correlation functions, which are responsible for the single spin asymmetry in single inclusive hadron production in hadronic collisions. By using the fitted twist-three functions from the hadronic collision data, we find a consistent description for SSAs in deep inelastic scattering. This demonstrates that we have a unique picture for SSAs in these two processes, and shall provide important guidelines for future studies.

One well-known example is that of Froissart and Stora in 1960 [1]. More is needed to complete the understanding, particularly of the transient effects, when crossing a single resonance [2]-[4], but question arises what happens if we cross two resonances or cross a single resonance twice. When a resonance is crossed twice, the particle's spin dynamics encounters two additional phenomena. First, the two crossings will interfere with each other, leading to an interference effect Second, there will be a spin echo effect. We discuss these two effects in this report. Two proposals to test these effects experimentally are made at the end. C1 Stanford Linear Accelerator Ctr, Stanford, CA 94309 USA.

The Run-6 included the machine operation at different beam energies and with different orientation of beam polarization at the collision points. The machine operation at 100GeV and 31.2 GeV provided physics data of polarized proton collisions to the STAR, PHENIX and BRAHMS experiments. Record levels of the luminosity (up to 3.5 10(31) cm(-2) s(-1) peak) and proton beam polarization (up to 65%) were achieved during the 100GeV operation. The beam polarization was preserved during the acceleration by using Siberian Snakes, based on helical magnets. The polarization orientation at STAR and PHENIX experiments was controlled with helical spin rotators. During different stages of the run the physics data were provided with longitudinal, vertical and horizontal orientations of the beam polarization at the collision points. Total luminosity integrals of 45 pb(-1) at 100 GeV and 0.35 pb(-1) at 31.2 GeV were delivered to the experiments.

Recently, two helical partial snakes have been built and installed in the AGS. With careful setup of optics at injection and along the ramp, this combination can eliminate the intrinsic and imperfection depolarizing resonances encountered during acceleration.

For polarimetry, carbon-proton and proton-proton scattering is used in the Coulomb nuclear interference region at small momentum transfer (-t). Fast polarization measurements of each beam are carried out with carbon fiber targets at several times during an accelerator store. A polarized hydrogen gas jet target is needed for absolute normalization over multiple stores, while the target polarization is constantly monitored in a Breit-Rabi polarimeter. In 2005, the jet polarimeter has been used with both RHIC beams. We present results from the jet polarimeter including a detailed analysis of background contributions to asymmetries and to the beam polarization. C1 [Eyser, K.

The fusion reaction rate with 100% vector polarized reactants is expected from simple theory to increase by a factor of 1.5. With presently available polarizations, fusion reaction enhancements of similar to 15% are achievable and of significant interest, while several avenues for obtaining higher polarizations are open. The potential for survival of initial fusion fuel polarizations at similar to 10(8) K plasma core temperatures (similar to 5KeV) throughout the time interval preceding fusion bum was addressed in a seminal paper in 1982(1). While the positive conclusion from those calculations suggests that reaction enhancements are indeed feasible, this crucial factor has never been tested in a high temperature plasma core because of difficulties in preparation and injection of sufficiently polarized fusion fuels into a high temperature reactorfusion plasma. Our solution to these problems employs a new source of highly polarized D in the form of solid HD which has been developed and used in our laboratories(2,3). Solid HD is compatible with fusion physics in view of its simplicity of elemental composition and very long (weeks) relaxation times at 4K temperature, allowing efficient polarization-preserving cold-transfer operations. Containment and polarization of the HD within polymer capsules, similar to those used in inertial confinement fusion (ICF), is an innovation which simplifies the cold-transfer of polarized fuel from the dilution refrigerator polarization-production apparatus to other liquid helium temperature cryostats, for storage, transport and placement into the barrel of a cryogenic pellet gun for firing at high velocity into the reactor. The other polarized fuel partner, He-3, has been prepared as a polarized gas(5) for applications including high-energy polarized targets and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. It will be introduced into the reactor by loading at high pressure into a thick-walled ICF-type polymer shell for injection into the plasma core with a room temperature injection gun. Based on current experience(2,3,5), polarizations of both D and He-3 of similar to 55% are projected, producing a fusion yield increase of about 15%. A collaboration is being developed for implementing this experiment at the DIII-D Ttokamak experiment at San Diego, operated by General Atomics for the U.S. Department of Energy. Calculations indicate a 10% fusion yield increase in the 14.6 MeV protons from the D-He-3 reaction will provide a statistically significant test of polarization retention in the plasma. Injection of the polarized fuels into a He-4 or H-1 plasma improves the discrimination of the effects of polarized fuels. Details of the HD fuel preparation, of the polarization processes, and of the injection into the plasma will beare presented. If the expected fusion reaction yield increase indicative of polarization retention is detected, a route to significantly improved second generation D-He-3 fusion would be established, as well as confidence to undertake the more difficult polarization of tritium, which would offer important cost savings and improved prospects of ignition in the ITER program.

Specifically, the performance of an improved 100 kV DC high voltage load locked photogun will be described. Although difficult to measure directly, we believe the new gun has better vacuum conditions compared to the original gun, as indicated by enhanced photocathode lifetimes exceeding 2000 C using a 1.55 mm diameter drive laser spot at the photocathode. In addition, the dependence of the lifetime on the laser spot size at the photocathode was measured and a charge density lifetime exceeding 10(6) c/cm(2) was measured with a 0.32 mm laser spot diameter.

By decreasing the transport time of the electrons and the number of scattering events that cause depolarization, we expected to increase the polarization as was indicated by Monte Carlo simulations of the scattering and transport time statistics of the electrons. A tungsten (W) grid was deposited on the cathode surface to provide a uniform voltage distribution across the cathode surface. The metal grid formed a Schottky contact with the semiconductor surface. The bias voltage was primarily dropped at the metal semiconductor interface region, which is the cathode active region. For positive surface bias, the accelerating voltage not only increased the polarization, but it also enhanced the quantum efficiency of the photocathode. Preliminary results verify the bias effect on both quantum efficiency and polarization by a factor of 1.8 and 1% respectively. C1 [Ioakeimidi, K.; Brachmann, A.; Clendenin, J. E.; Garwin, E.

These guns operate with a cathode bias on the order of -100 kV. To minimize space charge effects, relatively long bunches are generated at the gun and then compressed longitudinally external to the gun just before and during initial acceleration. For linear colliders, this compression is accomplished using a combination of rf bunchers. For the basic design of the International Linear Collider (ILC)(1), a 120 kV DC photocathode gun is used to produce a series of nanosecond bunches that are each compressed by two sub-harmonic bunchers (SHBs) followed by an L-band buncher and capture section. The longitudinal bunching process results in a significantly higher emittance than produced by the gun alone. While high-energy experiments using polarized beams are not generally sensitive to the source emittance, there are several benefits to a lower source emittance including a simpler more efficient injector system and a lower radiation load during transport especially at bends as at the damping ring. For the ILC, the SHBs could be eliminated if the voltage of the gun is raised sufficiently. Simulations using the General Particle Tracer (GPT) package indicate that a cathode bias voltage of >= 200 kV should allow both SHBs to be operated at 433 or even 650 Mflz, while >= 500 kV would be required to eliminate the SHBs altogether. Simulations can be used to determine the minimum emittance possible if the injector is designed for a given increased voltage. A possible alternative to the DC gun is an rf gun. Emittance compensation, routinely used with rf guns, is discussed for higher-voltage DC guns. C1 [Clendenin, J. E.; Brachmann, A.; Ioakelmidi, K.; Kirby, R. E.; Maruyarna, T.; Miller, R. H.; Wang, J.

For this machine spin physics will play an important role. The polarized electron source design is based on electron injectors built for the Stanford Linear Collider (polarized) and Tesla Test Facility (un-polarized). The ILC polarized electron source will provide a 5GeV spin polarized electron beam for injection into the ILC damping ring. Although most ILC machine parameters have been achieved by the SLC or TTF source, features of both must be integrated into one design. The bunch train structure presents unique challenges to the source laser drive system. A suitable laser system has not yet been demonstrated and is part of the ongoing R&D program for ILC at SLAC. Furthermore, ILC injector R&D incorporates photocathode development increasing available polarization, and improving operational properties in gun vacuum systems. Another important area of research and development is advancing the design of DC and RF electron gun technology for polarized sources. This presentation presents the current status of the design and outlines aspects of the relevant R&D program carried out within the ILC community. C1 [Brachmann, A.; Clendenin, J. E.; Garwin, E.

We believe that algorithm design and optimization techniques that hide latency by taking advantage of communication overlap will facilitate obtaining good parallel efficiency and performance on the highly concurrent contemporary systems. Finding an optimal, performance portable implementation when using non-blocking communication primitives is non-trivial and intimidating to many application developers. In this paper we present a methodology for discovering optimal message sizes and schedules for a variety of application scenarios. This is achieved by combining an analytic model that takes into account the variability of performance parameters with system scale and load with heuristics designed to avoid network congestion. We perform experiments to understand network behavior in the presence of overlap and purge the optimization space for any system based oil either resource or implementation constraints. Our approach is able to choose optimal or nearly optimal implementation parameters for a variety of highly non-trivial scenarios and networks with different performance characteristics. Implementations based on parameters chosen by the models are able to hide over 90% of communication overhead in all cases.

GP IEEE TI Lazy reconfiguration forest (LRF) - An approach for motion planning with multiple tasks in dynamic environments SO PROCEEDINGS OF THE 2007 IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ROBOTICS AND AUTOMATION, VOLS 1-10 SE IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation ICRA LA English DT Proceedings Paper CT IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation CY APR 10-14, 2007 CL Rome, ITALY SP IEEE AB We present a novel algorithm for robot motion planning in dynamic environments. Our approach extends Rapidly-exploring Random Trees (RRTs) in several ways. We assume the need to simultaneously plan and maintain paths for multiple tasks with respect to the current state of a moving robot in a dynamic environment. Our algorithm dynamically maintains a forest of trees by splitting, growing and merging them on the fly to adapt to moving obstacles and robot motion. In order to minimize tree maintenance, we only validate the task paths, rather than the entire forest. The root of the inhabited tree moves with the robot. Dynamic re-planning is integrated with tree and forest maintenance. Coupling the robot motion with the planner enables us to support multiple tasks, for example providing an "escape" path while moving to a goal. The robot is free to move along whichever task path it chooses. We highlight the work by showing fast results in simulated environments with moving obstacles.

GP IEEE TI Post-CMOS compatible aluminum nitride MEMS filters and resonant sensors SO PROCEEDINGS OF THE 2007 IEEE INTERNATIONAL FREQUENCY CONTROL SYMPOSIUM-JOINTLY WITH THE 21ST EUROPEAN FREQUENCY AND TIME FORUM, VOLS 1-4 LA English DT Proceedings Paper CT Joint IEEE International Frequency Control Symposium/21st European Frequency and Time Forum CY MAY 29-JUN 01, 2007 CL Geneva, SWITZERLAND SP IEEE ID OSCILLATOR PHASE NOISE AB This paper reports post-CMOS compatible aluminum nitride (AIN) MEMS resonators, filters, and resonant sensors for the miniaturization of radio-frequency transceivers and sensor systems. Utilizing a resonator with two closely spaced modes, 2(nd) order MEMS filters occupying 0.06 mm(2) have been realized in a single device. Methods for tuning the bandwidth and center frequency of these filters lithographically have been demonstrated. A 0.5% bandwidth, 108.4 MHz dual mode filter has a measured insertion loss of 9.4 dB with 50 Omega termination which can be reduced to 4.7 dB by terminating the filter with 75 Omega. In order to scale MEMS resonators to higher frequencies without increasing the size or impedance, resonators selectively driven at a harmonic determined by interdigitated drive and sense electrodes have been demonstrated reaching frequencies of 796 MHz with impedances of approximately 100 Q and quality factors in excess of 750 in air. In the same process resonant sensors based on AIN double-ended tuning fork (DETF) sensing beams have been demonstrated at 727 kHz with quality factors of 2160. An oscillator based on the DETF sensing beams achieves a phase noise of -81 dBc/Hz at 275 Hz offset from the carrier. A 100 ng mass coupled to a pair of DETF sensors achieves an acceleration sensitivity of 565mG/root Hz for accelerations from 275 to 1100 11z.

This can result in failure of communications systems relying on the crystal as a frequency reference. Lower vibration sensitivity is theoretically achievable by replacing the crystal with a micro electromechanical (MEMS) resonator. In this paper we present an electrostatically actuated Lame resonator that has vibration sensitivity (0.91 ppb/g) comparable to the best high-g insensitive crystal oscillators.

GP IEEE TI Agent-based modeling and simulation: Desktop ABMS SO PROCEEDINGS OF THE 2007 WINTER SIMULATION CONFERENCE, VOLS 1-5 LA English DT Proceedings Paper CT 2007 Winter Simulation Conference CY DEC 09-12, 2007 CL Washington, DC ID MARKETS AB Agent-based modeling and simulation (ABMS) is a new approach to modeling systems comprised of autonomous, interacting agents. ABMS promises to have far-reaching effects on the way that businesses use computers to support decision-making and researchers use electronic laboratories to support their research. Some have gone so far as to contend that ABMS "is a third way of doing science," in addition to traditional deductive and inductive reasoning (Axelrod 1997b). Computational advances have made possible a growing number of agent-based models across a variety of application domains. Applications range from modeling agent behavior in the stock market, supply chains, and consumer markets, to predicting the spread of epidemics, the threat of bio-warfare, and the factors responsible for the fall of ancient civilizations. This tutorial describes the theoretical and practical foundations of ABMS, identifies toolkits and methods for developing agent models, and illustrates the development of a simple agent-based model of shopper behavior using spreadsheets.

They are very widely used for a number of reasons: they permit the rapid and faithful transformation of a natural or model stochastic process into a computer code. They are powerful numerical methods for treating the many-dimensional problems that derive from important physical systems. Finally, many of the methods naturally permit the use of modem parallel computers in efficient ways. In the presentation, I will emphasize four aspects of the computations: whether the computation derives from a natural or model stochastic process; whether the system under study is highly idealized or realistic; whether the Monte Carlo methodology is straightforward or mathematically sophisticated; and finally, the scientific role of the computation.

Priority rule-based heuristics are widely used for large problems and more recently justification has been shown to be an important extension. Xu et al. further augments priority rule heuristics by creating rollout procedures and proves their effectiveness. However, that procedure generates just one schedule. We extend that method using sampling to generate a set of schedules using probabilistic techniques and select the best schedule from this sample. Using the 600 problem instances in PSLIB, we present empirical evidence that this procedure produces solutions that are better than the rollout procedure alone but at a computational cost.
