TI Electrochemical Investigation of a Microbial Solar Cell Reveals a Nonphotosynthetic Biocathode Catalyst SO APPLIED AND ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY LA English DT Article ID IRON-OXIDIZING BACTERIA; FUEL-CELLS; BIOFILMS; REDUCTION; MICROORGANISMS; COMMUNITY; GROWTH; ENERGY; MAT AB Microbial solar cells (MSCs) are microbial fuel cells (MFCs) that generate their own oxidant and/or fuel through photosynthetic reactions. Here, we present electrochemical analyses and biofilm 16S rRNA gene profiling of biocathodes of sediment/seawater-based MSCs inoculated from the biocathode of a previously described sediment/seawater-based MSC. Electrochemical analyses indicate that for these second-generation MSC biocathodes, catalytic activity diminishes over time if illumination is provided during growth, whereas it remains relatively stable if growth occurs in the dark. For both illuminated and dark MSC biocathodes, cyclic voltammetry reveals a catalytic-current-potential dependency consistent with heterogeneous electron transfer mediated by an insoluble microbial redox cofactor, which was conserved following enrichment of the dark MSC biocathode using a three-electrode configuration. 16S rRNA gene profiling showed Gammaproteobacteria, most closely related to Marinobacter spp., predominated in the enriched biocathode. The enriched biocathode biofilm is easily cultured on graphite cathodes, forms a multimicrobe-thick biofilm (up to 8.2 mu m), and does not lose catalytic activity after exchanges of the reactor medium. Moreover, the consortium can be grown on cathodes with only inorganic carbon provided as the carbon source, which may be exploited for proposed bioelectrochemical systems for electrosynthesis of organic carbon from carbon dioxide. These results support a scheme where two distinct communities of organisms develop within MSC biocathodes: one that is photosynthetically active and one that catalyzes reduction of O-2 by the cathode, where the former partially inhibits the latter. The relationship between the two communities must be further explored to fully realize the potential for MSC applications.

TI Field Testing of Moving Short-baseline Navigation for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles using Synchronized Acoustic Messaging SO JOURNAL OF FIELD ROBOTICS LA English DT Article ID SURFACE CRAFT; LOCALIZATION AB This paper presents the results from field testing of a unique approach to the navigation of a fleet of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) using only onboard sensors and information provided by a moving surface ship. The approach, considered moving short-baseline (MSBL) navigation, uses two transponders mounted on a single surface ship that alternately broadcast acoustic messages containing one of the parameters of the kinematic state of the surface ship. The broadcasts are initiated according to a predefined schedule so that the one-way travel time (OWTT) of the acoustic messages may be used to determine the range to the transponder. Each AUV in the fleet uses the surface ship state measurements and ranges provided by the acoustic messages in two extended Kalman filters (EKFs) for state estimation. The first EKF merges the intermittent surface ship state measurements with a kinematic model to estimate the state of the surface ship. This is necessary because the presented approach uses 13-bit acoustic messages as opposed to the more commonly used 32-byte messages, which allow the full state to be encoded in a single broadcast. The second EKF uses the current surface ship state estimate to properly interpret the acoustic ranges, combining them with a kinematic model to estimate the state of the AUV itself. Numerous MSBL navigation experiments were compared against a more traditional approach using a long-baseline (LBL) array of transponders and OWTT acoustic ranging. The results of all tests were verified by independent LBL measures of position. (C) 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

TI Nanoscale Analyses of High-Nickel Concentration Martensitic High-Strength Steels SO METALLURGICAL AND MATERIALS TRANSACTIONS A-PHYSICAL METALLURGY AND MATERIALS SCIENCE LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT Symposium on Phase Transformations and Deformation in Magnesium Alloys CY JUL, 2012 CL Orlando, FL ID ATOM-PROBE TOMOGRAPHY; NAVAL HULL STEELS; LOW-CARBON STEEL; RETAINED AUSTENITE; PRECIPITATED AUSTENITE; 9NI STEEL; SUBNANOMETER SCALE; TRANSFORMATION; SEGREGATION; TOUGHNESS AB Austenite reversion in martensitic steels is known to improve fracture toughness. This research focuses on characterizing mechanical properties and the microstructure of low-carbon, high-nickel steels containing 4.5 and 10 wt pct Ni after a QLT-type austenite reversion heat treatment: first, martensite is formed by quenching (Q) from a temperature in the single-phase austenite field, then austenite is precipitated by annealing in the upper part of the intercritical region in a lamellarization step (L), followed by a tempering (T) step at lower temperatures. For the 10 wt pct Ni steel, the tensile strength after the QLT heat treatment is 910 MPa (132 ksi) at 293 K (20 A degrees C), and the Charpy V-notch impact toughness is 144 J (106 ft-lb) at 188.8 K (-84.4 A degrees C, -120 A degrees F). For the 4.5 wt pct Ni steel, the tensile strength is 731 MPa (106 ksi) at 293 K (20 A degrees C) and the impact toughness is 209 J (154 ft-lb) at 188.8 K (-84.4 A degrees C, -120 A degrees F). Light optical microscopy, scanning electron and transmission electron microscopies, synchrotron X-ray diffraction, and local-electrode atom-probe tomography (APT) are utilized to determine the morphologies, volume fractions, and local chemical compositions of the precipitated phases with sub-nanometer spatial resolution. The austenite lamellae are up to 200 nm in thickness, and up to several micrometers in length. In addition to the expected partitioning of Ni to austenite, APT reveals a substantial segregation of Ni at the austenite/martensite interface with concentration maxima of 10 and 23 wt pct Ni for the austenite lamellae in the 4.5 and 10 wt pct Ni steels, respectively. Copper-rich and M2C-type metal carbide precipitates were detected both at the austenite/martensite interface and within the bulk of the austenite lamellae. Thermodynamic phase stability, equilibrium compositions, and volume fractions are discussed in the context of Thermo-Calc calculations.

The foams are fabricated by means of densifying a blend of crystalline W powders and amorphous Zr-based powders with two oxygen contents (0.078 and 0.144 wt pct) by warm equal channel angular extrusion, followed by dissolution of the elongated W phase from the fully densified amorphous matrix. For the high-oxygen foams, prior powder boundaries in the amorphous struts promote damage that accumulates during compression, resulting in energy-absorbing properties comparable with the low-oxygen foams without stress-concentrating powder boundaries. The influence of pore orientation on the evolution of microfracture damage and the ability of the foams to accumulate damage without catastrophic failure is also investigated: pores oriented from 24 to 68 deg to the loading direction promote wall bending, resulting in foams with more diffuse damage and better energy-absorbing properties.

TI Development of reliability-corrected cost model for Small Earth Observation satellites SO ACTA ASTRONAUTICA LA English DT Article DE Cost Estimation; KEOSCM; Earth Observation satellite; System Complexity Index (SCI); Reliability-corrected CER AB In this study, a novel reliability-corrected cost model for estimating the development cost of highly agile small EO (Earth Observation) satellites is presented. In order to develop the cost model of highly agile small EO satellites, a database has been constructed consisting of 49 satellites carrying electro-optical payloads and having a launch mass between 100 kg and 1,000 kg that have either been developed or being developed within a time frame fr'om 1991 to 2011. The cost model of top-down type was developed by analyzing the database statistically. The reliability-corrected CER (Cost Estimating Relationships) developed in this study implement multiple parameters-based complexity indexes. In addition, the Cost Correction Factor (CCF) and Low Cost Small Satellite (LCSS) adjustment factor were newly introduced as additional parameters for cost estimation. The reliability-corrected CERs for 26 EO satellites were used for verification of the cost model developed in this study. It was observed that there are approximately 7% of absolute average errors in the reliabilitycorrected CER. It is concluded that this cost model can provide cost estimates with a higher accuracy, as compared to conventional cost models such as USCM and SSCM. Finally, this paper also describes the results of cost estimation obtained by applying the developed cost model to highly agile small electro-optical satellites having specific performance requirements.

The physical model (a.k.a. signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio model) is widely considered as a reference model for physical layer behavior but its application in multihop wireless networks is limited by its complexity. On the other hand, the protocol model (a.k.a. disk graph model) is simple but there have been doubts on its validity. This paper explores the following fundamental question: How to correctly use the protocol interference model? We show that, in general, solutions obtained under the protocol model may be infeasible and, thus, results based on blind use of protocol model can be misleading. We propose a new concept called "reality check" and present a method of using a protocol model with reality check for wireless networks. Subsequently, we show that by appropriate setting of the interference range in the protocol model, it is possible to narrow the solution gap between the two models. Our simulation results confirm that this gap is indeed small (or even negligible). Thus, our methodology of joint reality check and interference range setting retains the protocol model as a viable approach to analyze multihop wireless networks.

Aerobic respiration and corrosion reactions consumed oxygen in the incubations in a short time. The transient oxygen influenced the microbial biodegradation of all fuels and resulted in a suite of characteristic metabolites, including catechols. The corrosion was believed to be the result of biogenic sulfide production and in all cases, the black corrosion products contained chlorine and sulfur (presumed chloride and sulfide) in addition to iron. There were few differences in electrochemically measured corrosion rates in incubations amended with any of the fuels or their blends. Clone library analysis demonstrated higher proportions of Firmicutes, Deltaproteobacteria (primarily sulfate-reducing bacteria), Chloroflexi, and Lentisphaerae in incubations exposed to fuels than the original seawater. Relative proportions of sequences affiliated with these bacterial groups varied with fuel. Methanogen sequences similar to those of Methanolobus were also found in multiple incubations. Despite the dominance of characteristically anaerobic taxa, sequences coding for an alkane monooxygenase from marine hydrocarbon-degrading genera and aerobically produced intermediates were observed, indicative that organisms with this metabolic potential were active at some point during the incubation. Aerobic oxidation of fuel components resulted in the formation of a series of intermediates that could be used by anaerobic seawater microbial communities to support metabolism, sulfide production, and carbon steel corrosion.

Schapira, Michael TI On the Structure of Weakly Acyclic Games SO THEORY OF COMPUTING SYSTEMS LA English DT Article DE Weak acyclicity; Subgame stability ID DYNAMICS AB The class of weakly acyclic games, which includes potential games and dominance-solvable games, captures many practical application domains. In a weakly acyclic game, from any starting state, there is a sequence of better-response moves that leads to a pure Nash equilibrium; informally, these are games in which natural distributed dynamics, such as better-response dynamics, cannot enter inescapable oscillations. We establish a novel link between such games and the existence of pure Nash equilibria in subgames. Specifically, we show that the existence of a unique pure Nash equilibrium in every subgame implies the weak acyclicity of a game. In contrast, the possible existence of multiple pure Nash equilibria in every subgame is insufficient for weak acyclicity in general; here, we also systematically identify the special cases (in terms of the number of players and strategies) for which this is sufficient to guarantee weak acyclicity.

Printing of low-viscosity (<0.1 Pa s) nanoparticle (NP) inks by LIFT is in many ways similar to inkjet printing, where the cured voxel size and shape are determined by its interaction with the substrate. LIFT is also compatible with NP pastes of very high viscosity (>100 Pa s) and high solids content (>80 wt%), resulting in printed voxels that precisely replicate the shape and size of the laser transferring pulse. This LIFT regime, known as laser decal transfer or LDT, allows the congruent printing of highly loaded colloids and suspensions, unlike any existing direct-write process. This work compares LIFT of low-viscosity NP inks with LDT of high-viscosity NP pastes in terms of the voxels of silver NP suspensions printed by each technique. It also presents advances in a new digital fabrication technique using a spatial light modulator to change the size and shape of the LDT laser pulse, resulting in the dynamic reconfiguration of individual voxels. This enables a new level of parallelization unlike current serial direct-write processes, since each voxel can be varied according to the pattern design. An overview of the opportunities and challenges associated with LIFT of NP suspensions forms part of the conclusions. (C) 2013 Society for Imaging Science and Technology.

The study's aim is to evaluate the prognostic utility of the ANAM4 TBI. In 165 concussed active duty personnel (all ultimately returned to duty) seen and tested on the ANAM4 TBI on days 3 and 5 (median times) from their injury, Spearman's rho statistics showed that all performance subtests (at day 5) were associated with fewer days return-to-duty (RTD) time, whereas concussion history or age did not. Kruskal Wallis statistics showed that ANAM4 TBI, loss of consciousness, and post-traumatic amnesia were associated with increased RTD time; ANAM4 TBI reaction time-based subtests, collectively, showed the largest effect sizes. A survival analysis using a Kaplan-Meier plot showed that the lowest 25% on the reaction time-based subtests had a median RTD time of 19 days, whereas those in the upper 25% had a median RTD time of approximately 7 days. Results indicate that until validated neurocognitive testing is introduced, the ANAM4 TBI battery, especially reaction time-based tests, has prognostic utility.

CA Millennium Cohort Study Team TI Combat Deployment Is Associated with Sexual Harassment or Sexual Assault in a Large, Female Military Cohort SO WOMENS HEALTH ISSUES LA English DT Article ID HEALTH-CARE UTILIZATION; WOMEN VETERANS; HEART-DISEASE; PREVALENCE; MULTIMORBIDITY; AFGHANISTAN; SLEEP; IRAQ AB Background: Previous studies have examined the prevalence, risk factors, and health correlates of sexual stressors in the military, but have been limited to specific subpopulations. Furthermore, little is known about sexual stressors' occurrence and their correlates in relation to female troops deployed to the current operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Methods: Using longitudinal data from Millennium Cohort participants, the associations of recent deployment as well as other individual and environmental factors with sexual harassment and sexual assault were assessed among U. S. female military personnel. Multivariable analyses were used to investigate the associations. Findings: Of 13,262 eligible participants, 1,362 (10.3%) reported at least one sexual stressor at follow-up. Women who deployed and reported combat experiences were significantly more likely to report sexual harassment (odds ratio [OR], 2.20; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.84-2.64) or both sexual harassment and sexual assault (OR, 2.47; 95% CI, 1.61-3.78) compared with nondeployers. In addition, significant risk factors for sexual stressors included younger age, recent separation or divorce, service in the Marine Corps, positive screen for a baseline mental health condition, moderate/severe life stress, and prior sexual stressor experiences. Conclusions: Although deployment itself was not associated with sexual stressors, women who both deployed and reported combat were at a significantly increased odds for sexual stressors than other female service members who did not deploy. Understanding the factors associated with sexual stressors can inform future policy and prevention efforts to eliminate sexual stressors. Copyright (C) 2013 by the Jacobs Institute of Women's Health.

We consider an approach that constructs minimum entropy HMMs directly from a sequence of observations. If an insufficient amount of observation data is used to generate the HMM, the model will not represent the underlying process. Current methods assume that observations completely represent the underlying process. It is often the case that the training data size is not large enough to adequately capture all statistical dependencies in the system. It is, therefore, important to know the statistical significance level for that the constructed model representing the underlying process, not only the training set. In this paper, we present a method to determine if the observation data and constructed model fully express the underlying process with a given level of statistical significance. We use the statistics of the process to calculate an upper bound on the number of samples required to guarantee that the model has a given level significance. We provide theoretical and experimental results that confirm the utility of this approach. The experiment is conducted on a real private Tor network.

Research on hamsters has documented physiological effects of exposure to intense tones, including increased spontaneous neural activity in the dorsal cochlear nucleus. Such physiological changes should be accompanied by chemical changes, and those chemical changes associated with chronic effects should be present at long times after the intense sound exposure. Using a microdissection mapping procedure combined with a radiometric microassay, we have measured activities of choline acetyltransferase (ChAT), the enzyme responsible for synthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, in the cochlear nucleus, superior olive, inferior colliculus, and auditory cortex of hamsters 5 months after exposure to an intense tone compared with control hamsters of the same age. In control hamsters, ChAT activities in auditory regions were never more than one-tenth of the ChAT activity in the facial nerve root, a bundle of myelinated cholinergic axons, in agreement with a modulatory rather than a dominant role of acetylcholine in hearing. Within auditory regions, relatively higher activities were found in granular regions of the cochlear nucleus, dorsal parts of the superior olive, and auditory cortex. In intense-tone-exposed hamsters, ChAT activities were significantly increased in the anteroventral cochlear nucleus granular region and the lateral superior olivary nucleus. This is consistent with some chronic upregulation of the cholinergic olivocochlear system influence on the cochlear nucleus after acoustic trauma. (c) 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Evidence of intensity maxima associated with the expanding shock wave is commonly seen along its central and western flanks, although the region of peak acceleration or "nose" of the shock is sometimes highly localized in longitude. In one event (1 January 1978) a sharp peak in 20 -aEuro parts per thousand 30 MeV proton intensities is seen more strongly by Voyager at similar to aEuro parts per thousand 2 AU than it is by spacecraft at nearby longitudes at similar to aEuro parts per thousand 1 AU. Large spatial regions, or "reservoirs," often exist behind the shocks with spatially uniform SEP intensities and invariant spectra that decrease adiabatically with time as their containment volume expands. Reservoirs are seen to sweep past 0.3 AU and can extend out many AU. Boundaries of the reservoirs can vary with time and with particle velocity, rather than rigidity. In one case, a second shock wave from the Sun reaccelerates protons that retain the same hard spectrum as protons in the reservoir from the preceding SEP event. Thus reservoirs can provide not only seed particles but also a "seed spectrum" with a spectral shape that is unchanged by a weaker second shock.

In these events, the event-integrated value of the iron-to-oxygen ratio (Fe/O) is typically similar to aEuro parts per thousand 0.1, at least at energies of a few MeV/nucleon. However, at the start of some gradual events, when intensities are low and growing, initially Fe/O is similar to aEuro parts per thousand 1. This value is also characteristic of small, "impulsive" SEP events, in which particle acceleration is due to magnetic reconnection. These observations suggested that SEPs in gradual events also include a direct contribution from the flare that accompanied the CME launch. If correct, this interpretation is of critical importance: it indicates a clear path to interplanetary space for particles from the reconnection region beneath the CME. A key issue for the flare origin is "magnetic connectedness", i.e., proximity of the flare site to the solar footpoint of the observer's magnetic field line. We present two large gradual events observed in 2001 by Wind at L1 and by Ulysses, when it was located at > 60(a similar to) heliolatitude and beyond 1.6 AU. In these events, transient Fe/O enhancements at 5 -aEuro parts per thousand 10 MeV/nucleon were seen at both spacecraft, even though one or both is not "well-connected" to the flare. These observations demonstrate that an initial Fe/O enhancement cannot be cited as evidence for a direct flare component. Instead, initial Fe/O enhancements are better understood as a transport effect, driven by the different mass-to-charge ratios of Fe and O. We further demonstrate that the time-constant of the roughly exponential decay of the Fe/O ratio scales as R (2), where R is the observer's radial distance from the Sun. This behavior is consistent with radial diffusion. These observations thus also provide a potential constraint on models in which SEPs reach high heliolatitudes by cross-field diffusion.

TI Chinese fisheries enforcement: Environmental and strategic implications SO MARINE POLICY LA English DT Article DE China; Fisheries enforcement; Maritime disputes; South China Sea; East China Sea; Yellow Sea ID MANAGEMENT AB In almost all of the maritime territorial disputes in East Asia, fisheries questions play a significant role. One need only consider that fishing has been at the heart of serious wrangling among East Asian states from the Yellow Sea, through the East China Sea, and down to the South China Sea in recent years. Chinese fisheries policy might be critical to the possibilities for peaceful resolution of the many maritime territorial disputes in East Asia. Moreover, China's status as the world's largest fishing power also means that Beijing's inclination to accept and practice global fisheries norms could mark a giant step forward for environmental protection of the oceans in the coming century. Drawing on a wide array of unique Chinese Mandarin-language sources, this study seeks to explore the often noted "implementation gap" in Chinese fisheries enforcement practices. The study reveals that Beijing is making gradual and earnest efforts to comply with international environmental norms with respect to fisheries. That is a positive development for the health of the world's oceans, but some of these same policies may also have the impact of aggravating tense maritime disputes in the region as well.

These methods are extremely effective in producing bulk microstructure refinement and are generally initiated at a low homologous temperature. The resulting deformation-induced microstructures exhibit progressively refined cellular dislocation structures during the initial stages of straining that give way to refined, equiaxed grain structures at larger strains. Often, grain refinement appears to saturate but frequently coarsening is observed at the largest strains after a minimum in grain size is attained during SPD. Here, we summarize results on grain refinement by these processing methods and provide an analysis that incorporates adiabatic heating to explain the progressive refinement to intermediate strains and that may be followed either by an apparent saturation in grain refinement or by grain coarsening at the largest strains. This analysis is consistent with continuous dynamic recrystallization in the absence of the formation and long-range migration of high-angle boundaries. C1 [Zhilyaev, A. P.; Langdon, T.

TI Ni/YSZ solid oxide fuel cell anodes operating on humidified ethanol fuel feeds: An optical study SO JOURNAL OF POWER SOURCES LA English DT Article DE Solid oxide fuel cell; Ethanol; Thermal imaging; Steam reforming; Infrared ID IN-SITU; THERMODYNAMIC ANALYSIS; SOFC ANODES; COMPOSITE ANODES; DIRECT-ALCOHOL; METHANOL; PERFORMANCE; OXIDATION; PYROLYSIS; SYSTEM AB Direct internal steam reforming of ethanol fuel in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) has been investigated using near-infrared thermal imaging. Thermal data are correlated to electrochemical analyses, post-mortem photographs of the cells and gas-phase infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. These techniques allow for an understanding of how gas-phase composition and electrical conditions affect the fuel chemistry on the anode, specifically with regards to carbon formation. Ethanol flows that are humidified to H2O:C2H5OH ratios of 1.58, 1.27, and 1.12 at 700, 750, and 800 degrees C, respectively, result in far less anode damage than dry ethanol. However, subtle spatial variations in anode surface temperature indicate that damage occurs at temperatures below 800 degrees C. FTIR spectra of the fuel feed reaching the anode show that internal steam reforming occurs both in the gas phase and at the anode catalyst. Thermal imaging and post-mortem analysis confirm that humidified ethanol flows at 800 degrees C form negligible amounts of carbon deposits in polarized cells, resulting in minimal anode deterioration. These results serve as benchmark data for the further development of direct, internal reforming SOFC systems, especially in smaller, portable systems. The H2O:C2H5OH ratio used in this work is well below the >3:1 ratios suggested elsewhere. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Here we provide an overview of the deployment, detonation, atmospheric specifications, infrasound array observations, and propagation modeling for the experiments. The experiments at the Sayarim Military Range, Israel, had equivalent TNT yields of 96.0, 7.4, and 76.8 t of explosives on 26 August 2009, 24 January 2011, and 26 January 2011, respectively. Successful international collaboration resulted in the deployment of numerous portable infrasound arrays in the region to supplement the IMS network and increase station density. Infrasound from the detonations is detected out to similar to 3500km to the northwest in 2009 and similar to 6300km to the northeast in 2011, reflecting the highly anisotropic nature of long-range infrasound propagation. For 2009, the moderately strong stratospheric wind jet results in a well-predicted set of arrivals at numerous arrays to the west-northwest. A second set of arrivals is also apparent, with low celerities and high frequencies. These arrivals are not predicted by the propagation modeling and result from unresolved atmospheric features. Strong eastward tropospheric winds (up to similar to 70m/s) in 2011 produce high-amplitude tropospheric arrivals recorded out to >1000km to the east. Significant eastward stratospheric winds (up to similar to 80m/s) in 2011 generate numerous stratospheric arrivals and permit the long-range detection (i.e., >1000km). No detections are made in directions opposite the tropospheric and stratospheric wind jets for any of the explosions. Comparison of predicted transmission loss and observed infrasound arrivals gives qualitative agreement. Propagation modeling for the 2011 experiments predicts lower transmission loss in the direction of the downwind propagation compared to the 2009 experiment, consistent with the greater detection distance. Observations also suggest a more northerly component to the stratospheric winds for the 2009 experiment and less upper atmosphere attenuation. The Sayarim infrasound calibration experiments clearly demonstrate the complexity and variability of the atmosphere, and underscore the utility of large-scale calibration experiments with dense networks for better understanding infrasound propagation and detection. Additionally, they provide a rich data set for future scientific research. C1 [Fee, David] Univ Alaska, Wilson Infrasound Observ, Alaska Volcano Observ, Inst Geophys, Fairbanks, AK 99701 USA.

TI A seasonal trend of single scattering albedo in southern African biomass-burning particles: Implications for satellite products and estimates of emissions for the world's largest biomass-burning source SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-ATMOSPHERES LA English DT Article DE aerosol absorption; biomass burning; southern Africa ID AEROSOL OPTICAL DEPTH; OZONE MONITORING INSTRUMENT; SKY RADIANCE MEASUREMENTS; SAFARI 2000; WAVELENGTH DEPENDENCE; ATMOSPHERIC AEROSOLS; PHYSICAL-PROPERTIES; AERONET; MODIS; SMOKE AB As a representative site of the southern African biomass-burning region, sun-sky data from the 15 year Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) deployment at Mongu, Zambia, was analyzed. For the biomass-burning season months (July-November), we investigate seasonal trends in aerosol single scattering albedo (SSA), aerosol size distributions, and refractive indices from almucantar sky scan retrievals. The monthly mean single scattering albedo at 440nm in Mongu was found to increase significantly from similar to 0.84 in July to similar to 0.93 in November (from 0.78 to 0.90 at 675nm in these same months). There was no significant change in particle size, in either the dominant accumulation or secondary coarse modes during these months, nor any significant trend in the Angstrom exponent (440-870nm; r(2)=0.02). A significant downward seasonal trend in imaginary refractive index (r(2)=0.43) suggests a trend of decreasing black carbon content in the aerosol composition as the burning season progresses. Similarly, burning season SSA retrievals for the Etosha Pan, Namibia AERONET site also show very similar increasing single scattering albedo values and decreasing imaginary refractive index as the season progresses. Furthermore, retrievals of SSA at 388nm from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument satellite sensor show similar seasonal trends as observed by AERONET and suggest that this seasonal shift is widespread throughout much of southern Africa. A seasonal shift in the satellite retrieval bias of aerosol optical depth from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer collection 5 dark target algorithm is consistent with this seasonal SSA trend since the algorithm assumes a constant value of SSA. Multi-angle Imaging Spectroradiometer, however, appears less sensitive to the absorption-induced bias. C1 [Eck, T. F.; Jethva, H. T.] Univ Space Res Assoc, Columbia, MD USA. [Eck, T. F.; Holben, B.

Roy TI Cyanation of Aryl Chlorides Using a Microwave-Assisted, Copper-Catalyzed Concurrent Tandem Catalysis Methodology SO ORGANOMETALLICS LA English DT Article ID HALIDES; BROMIDES; HYDRODEHALOGENATION; SYSTEM; WATER; MILD AB A microwave-assisted, copper-catalyzed concurrent tandem catalytic (CTC) methodology has been developed for the cyanation of aryl chlorides, where the aryl chloride is first converted to an aryl iodide via halogen exchange and the aryl iodide is subsequently transformed to the aryl nitrile. A variety of aryl chlorides were converted to aryl nitriles in 44-97% yield using 20 mol % of CuI, 40 mol % of N,N'-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine, and 1.2 equiv of KCN in acetonitrile at 200 degrees C after 1-2 h. The same copper/ligand system served as a multifunctional catalyst for both steps of the concurrent catalytic process. Unlike our previously reported CTC hydrodehalogenation of aryl chlorides, CTC cyanation was catalytic in iodide. Kinetic simulations of the proposed CTC mechanism were consistent with experimental results and stipulate the relative reaction rates of the two catalytic cycles necessary to achieve reasonable yields of product.

TI Silicon spin chains at finite temperature: Dynamics of Si(553)-Au SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID AUGMENTED-WAVE METHOD; AB-INITIO; ONE-DIMENSION; WIRES; RECONSTRUCTION; MODELS AB When gold is deposited on Si(553), the surface self-assembles to form a periodic array of steps with nearly perfect structural order. In scanning tunneling microscopy these steps resemble quasi-one-dimensional atomic chains. At temperatures below similar to 50 K the chains develop a tripled periodicity. We recently predicted, on the basis of density-functional theory calculations at T = 0, that this tripled periodicity arises from the complete polarization of the electron spin on every third silicon atom along the step; in the ground state these linear chains of silicon spins are antiferromagnetically ordered. Here we explore, using ab initio molecular dynamics and kinetic Monte Carlo simulations, the behavior of silicon spin chains on Si(553)-Au at finite temperature. Thermodynamic phase transitions at T > 0 in one-dimensional systems are prohibited by the Mermin-Wagner theorem. Nevertheless we find that a surprisingly sharp onset occurs upon cooling-at about 30 K for perfect surfaces and at higher temperature for surfaces with defects-to a well-ordered phase with tripled periodicity, in good agreement with experiment.

Both materials are paramagnetic metals at room temperature. Inspection of their electronic structures without spin polarization reveals hardly any difference between the two. This fact was interpreted as evidence against popular theories relating superconductivity in Fe-based materials with spin fluctuations. We show that in the magnetic domain the two compounds are dramatically different, and the fact that MgFeGe does not superconduct, is, on the contrary, a strong argument in favor of theories based on spin fluctuations.

Previous studies have shown the performance of these cells is limited by the combination of collisional fluorescence during the writing process and four-wave mixing during the reading process and have proposed to overcome this by a combination of optimized detuning and prepumping with circularly polarized write and read beams. Here we show that the Raman matrix elements involving the excited P (F' = I - 1/2 and F' = I + 1/2) levels of all alkali atoms are always equal in magnitude and opposite in sign when the write and the anti-Stokes (Stokes) photons have the opposite helicity, and the Raman transitions via the two levels interfere destructively. The existence of an optimal detuning is demonstrated for a given dark-count rate of the single-photon detector. The predicted behavior is observed experimentally in a warm Rb cell with buffer gas.

TI Recruitment dynamics in adaptive social networks SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICS A-MATHEMATICAL AND THEORETICAL LA English DT Article ID FASHIONS; MODEL; FADS AB We model recruitment in adaptive social networks in the presence of birth and death processes. Recruitment is characterized by nodes changing their status to that of the recruiting class as a result of contact with recruiting nodes. Only a susceptible subset of nodes can be recruited. The recruiting individuals may adapt their connections in order to improve recruitment capabilities, thus changing the network structure adaptively. We derive a mean-field theory to predict the dependence of the growth threshold of the recruiting class on the adaptation parameter. Furthermore, we investigate the effect of adaptation on the recruitment level, as well as on network topology. The theoretical predictions are compared with direct simulations of the full system. We identify two parameter regimes with qualitatively different bifurcation diagrams depending on whether nodes become susceptible frequently (multiple times in their lifetime) or rarely (much less than once per lifetime).

The properties of the thermal emission are not well understood, however, and the analysis of solar flare observations is often predicated on the assumption that the flare plasma is isothermal. The EUV Variability Experiment (EVE) on the Solar Dynamics Observatory provides spectrally resolved observations of emission lines that span a wide range of temperatures (e.g., Fe xv-Fe xxiv) and allow for thermal flare plasma to be studied in detail. In this paper we describe a method for computing the differential emission measure distribution in a flare using EVE observations and apply it to several representative events. We find that in all phases of the flare the differential emission measure distribution is broad. Comparisons of EVE spectra with calculations based on parameters derived from the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites soft X-ray fluxes indicate that the isothermal approximation is generally a poor representation of the thermal structure of a flare.

It contains around 70Gt of carbon stored in peat deposits susceptible to burning when drained and it has significantly higher population density than any other humid tropical region. This region experiences yearly fire activity of anthropogenic origin with widely varying extent and severity. At the same time, there are several geographic, climatic, and social aspects that complicate fire monitoring in the region. In this review article, we analyse the current knowledge and limitations of active fire detection and burnt area mapping in insular Southeast Asia, highlighting the special characteristics of the region that affect all types of remote-sensing-based regional-level fire monitoring. We conclude that the monitoring methods currently employed have serious limitations that directly affect the reliability of results for fire and burnt area monitoring in this region. With the materials and methods presently available, the regional and global effects of fire activity taking place in insular Southeast Asia are in danger of being underestimated. New approaches utilizing higher spatial and temporal resolution remote-sensing data are needed for more detailed quantification of fire activity and subsequently improved estimation of the effects of fires in this region.

TI Haemoglobin dynamics in Papuan and non-Papuan adults in northeast Papua, Indonesia, with acute, uncomplicated vivax or falciparum malaria SO MALARIA JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE Anaemia; Malaria; Papuans; Indonesia ID TUMOR-NECROSIS-FACTOR; BONE-MARROW CHANGES; RED-BLOOD-CELLS; PLASMODIUM-FALCIPARUM; IN-VIVO; WESTERN KENYA; FACTOR-ALPHA; ANEMIA; CHILDREN; ERYTHROPOIETIN AB Background: Haemoglobin (Hb) recovers slowly in malaria and may be influenced by naturally acquired immunity. Hb recovery was compared in malaria immune, indigenous Papuan and non-Papuan adults with limited malaria exposure. Methods: Hb concentrations were measured on Days (D) 0, 3, 7, and 28 in 57 Papuans and 105 non-Papuans treated with chloroquine, doxycycline or both drugs for acute, uncomplicated Plasmodium vivax (n = 64) or Plasmodium falciparum (n = 98). Results: Mean (SD, range) D0 Hb was 12.7 (2.2, 7-21.3) g/dL and was similar in P. falciparum infected Papuans and non-Papuans: 12.2 vs. 12.8 g/dL (P = 0.15) but significantly lower in: (i) P. vivax-infected Papuans vs. P. vivax-infected non-Papuans: 11.4 vs. 13.47 g/dL [Delta = -2.07 (95% CI: -3.3 - -0.8), P = 0.0018], (ii) all patients with splenomegaly (vs. those without splenomegaly): 12.16 vs. 13.01 g/dL [Delta = -0.85 (-1.6- -0.085), P = 0.029], and (iii) all females vs. all males: 10.18 vs. 13.01 g/dL [Delta = -2.82 (-3.97 - -1.67), P < 0.0001]. Multiple regression identified female sex (P = 0.000), longer illness duration (P = 0.015) (P. falciparum patients) and Papuan ethnicity (P = 0.017) (P. vivax patients) as significant factors for a lower D0 Hb. Mean D28 Hb increased to 13.6 g/dL [Delta = 1.01 (0.5-1.5) vs. D0 Hb, P = 0.0001]. It was: (i) positively correlated with the D0 Hb (adjusted R-2 = 0.24, P = 0.000), and was significantly lower in P. vivax infected Papuans vs. non-Papuans: 12.71 vs. 14.46 g/dL [Delta = -1.7 (-2.95- -0.5, P = 0.006). Conclusions: Haemoglobin recovery was related to baseline Hb. Vivax-infected malaria immune Papuans had persistently lower Hb concentrations compared to non-Papuans with limited malaria exposure. This haematological disadvantage remains unexplained. C1 [Taylor, Walter R. J.; Widjaja, Hendra; Basri, Hasan; Richie, Thomas L.] US Navy Med Res Unit 2 NAMRU 2, Jakarta, Indonesia.

We conducted a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 study of the new vaccine to assess its safety and efficacy. Healthy adults at two basic training sites were randomly assigned to receive either vaccine (two enteric-coated tablets consisting of no less than 4.5 log(10) TCID50 of live ADV-4 or ADV-7) or placebo in a 3:1 ratio. Volunteers were observed throughout the approximate eight weeks of their basic training and also returned for four scheduled visits. The primary endpoints were prevention of febrile ARD due to ADV-4 and seroconversion of neutralizing serum antibodies to ADV-7, which was not expected to circulate in the study population during the course of the trial. A total of 4151 volunteers were enrolled and 4040 (97%) were randomized and included in the primary analysis (110 were removed prior to randomization and one was removed after randomization due to inability to swallow tablets). A total of 49 ADV-4 febrile ARD cases were identified with 48 in the placebo group and 1 in the vaccine group (attack rates of 4.76% and 0.03%, respectively). Vaccine efficacy was 99.3% (95% CI, 96.0-99.9; P<0.001). Seroconversion rates for vaccine recipients for ADV-4 and ADV-7 were 94.5% (95% Cl, 93.4-95.5%) and 93.8% (95% CI: 93.4-95.2%), respectively. The vaccine was well tolerated as compared to placebo. We conclude that the new live, oral ADV-4 and ADV-7 vaccine is safe and effective for use in groups represented by the study population.

TI Efficiency of Multiexciton Generation in Colloidal Nanostructures SO ACCOUNTS OF CHEMICAL RESEARCH LA English DT Review ID MULTIPLE EXCITON GENERATION; PBSE QUANTUM DOTS; CARRIER MULTIPLICATION EFFICIENCY; SEMICONDUCTOR NANOCRYSTALS; ELECTRONIC-STRUCTURE; OPTICAL-PROPERTIES; CDSE NANOCRYSTALS; SOLAR-CELLS; LIMIT AB Solar energy production, one of the world's most important unsolved problems, has the potential to be a source of dean, renewable energy if scientists can find a way of generating cheap and efficient solar cells. Generation of multiple excitons from single photons is one way to increase the efficiency of solar energy collection, but the process suffers from low efficiency in bulk materials. An increase of multiexciton generation efficiency in nanocrystals was proposed by Nozik in 2002 and demonstrated by Schaller and Klimov in 2004 in PbSe nanocrystals. Since then, scientists have observed efficient multiexciton generation in nanostructures made of many semiconductors using various measurement techniques. Although the experimental evidence of efficient carrier multiplication is overwhelming, there is no complete theory of this phenomenon. Researchers cannot develop such a theory without a self-consistent description of the Coulomb interaction and a knowledge of mechanisms of electron and hole thermalization In nanostructures. The full theoretical description requires the strength of the Coulomb interaction between exciton and multiexciton states and the thermalization rates, which both vary with the dimensionality of the confining potential. As a result, the efficiency of multiexciton generation depends strongly on the material and the shape of the nanostructure. In this Account, we discuss the theoretical aspects of efficient carrier multiplication in nanostructures. The Coulomb interaction couples single excitons with multiexciton states. Phenomenological many-electron calculations of the evolution of single-photon excitations have shown that efficient multiexciton generation can exist only if the rate of the Coulomb mixing between photo-created exciton and biexciton states is significantly faster than the rate of exciton relaxation. Therefore, to Increase multiexciton generation efficiency, we need to either increase the exciton-biexciton mixing rate or suppress the exciton relaxation rate. Following this simple recipe, we show that multiexciton generation efficiency should be higher in semiconductor nanorods and nanoplatelets, which have stronger exciton-biexciton coupling due to the enhancement of the Coulomb interaction through the surrounding medium.

Electroluminescence imaging depicted the motion of these green emitting point defects during forward bias operation along carbon-core PDs that bound the RISFs. Following high temperature annealing, these green emitting point defects did not contract with the PDs, but remained in the final location during the expansion. This implies that the motion of these green emitting point dislocations is enabled through a recombination-enhanced motion, similar to the process for RISF expansion and contraction within SiC.

TI Hyperbolic and plasmonic properties of Silicon/Ag aligned nanowire arrays SO OPTICS EXPRESS LA English DT Article ID NEGATIVE REFRACTION; OPTICAL HYPERLENS; THIN-FILMS; METAMATERIALS; GROWTH; LASERS; SCALE; INDEX AB The hyperbolic and plasmonic properties of silicon nanowire/Ag arrays have been investigated. The aligned nanowire arrays were formed and coated by atomic layer deposition of Ag, which itself is a metamaterial due to its unique mosaic film structure. The theoretical and numerical studies suggest that the fabricated arrays have hyperbolic dispersion in the visible and IR ranges of the spectrum. The theoretical predictions have been indirectly confirmed by polarized reflection spectra, showing reduction of the reflection in p polarization in comparison to that in s polarization. Studies of dye emission on top of Si/Ag nanowire arrays show strong emission quenching and shortening of dye emission kinetics. This behavior is also consistent with the predictions for hyperbolic media. The measured SERS signals were enhanced by almost an order of magnitude for closely packed and aligned nanowires, compared to random nanowire composites. These results agree with electric field simulations of these array structures. (C) 2013 Optical Society of America C1 [Prokes, S.

CA STAR Collaboration TI System-size dependence of transverse momentum correlations at root s(NN)=62.4 and 200 GeV at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider SO PHYSICAL REVIEW C LA English DT Article ID BY-EVENT FLUCTUATIONS; PLUS PB COLLISIONS; QUARK-GLUON PLASMA; AU-AU COLLISIONS; MEAN-P(T) FLUCTUATIONS; NUCLEAR COLLISIONS; SIGNATURES; DYNAMICS; MODEL; RATIO AB We present a study of the average transverse momentum (p(t)) fluctuations and p(t) correlations for charged particles produced in Cu + Cu collisions at midrapidity for root s(NN) = 62.4 and 200 GeV. These results are compared with those published for Au + Au collisions at the same energies, to explore the system size dependence. In addition to the collision energy and system size dependence, the p(t) correlation results have been studied as functions of the collision centralities, the ranges in p(t), the pseudorapidity eta, and the azimuthal angle phi. The square root of the measured p(t) correlations when scaled by mean p(t) is found to be independent of both colliding beam energy and system size studied. Transport-based model calculations are found to have a better quantitative agreement with the measurements compared to models which incorporate only jetlike correlations.

TI Atomic oxygen in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere derived from SABER: Algorithm theoretical basis and measurement uncertainty SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-ATMOSPHERES LA English DT Article DE Atomic oxygen; Mesopause; Airglow; Ozone; Energy budget ID VIBRATIONALLY EXCITED OH; KINETIC-PARAMETERS; MIDDLE ATMOSPHERE; HYDROXYL AIRGLOW; MOLECULAR-OXYGEN; LOWER IONOSPHERE; MU-M; NIGHTGLOW; OZONE; ROCKET AB Atomic oxygen (O) is a fundamental component in chemical aeronomy of Earth's mesosphere and lower thermosphere region extending from approximately 50km to over 100km in altitude. Atomic oxygen is notoriously difficult to measure, especially with remote sensing techniques from orbiting satellite sensors. It is typically inferred from measurements of the ozone concentration in the day or from measurements of the Meinel band emission of the hydroxyl radical (OH) at night. The Sounding of the Atmosphere using Broadband Emission Radiometry (SABER) instrument on the NASA Thermosphere-Ionosphere-Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics (TIMED) satellite measures OH emission and ozone for the purpose of determining the O-atom concentration. In this paper, we present the algorithms used in the derivation of day and night atomic oxygen from these measurements. We find excellent consistency between the day and night O-atom concentrations from daily to annual time scales. We also examine in detail the collisional relaxation of the highly vibrationally excited OH molecule at night measured by SABER. Large rate coefficients for collisional removal of vibrationally excited OH molecules by atomic oxygen are consistent with the SABER observations if the deactivation of OH(9) proceeds solely by collisional quenching. An uncertainty analysis of the derived atomic oxygen is also given. Uncertainty in the rate coefficient for recombination of O and molecular oxygen is shown to be the largest source of uncertainty in the derivation of atomic oxygen day or night.

TI Radiative and energetic constraints on the global annual mean atomic oxygen concentration in the mesopause region SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-ATMOSPHERES LA English DT Article DE atomic oxygen; energy balance; radiative constraints; mesopause; airglow; ozone ID MIDDLE ATMOSPHERE; BANDS; MODEL; TEMPERATURE; PHOTOLYSIS AB We present a new approach to constrain and validate atomic oxygen (O) concentrations in the mesopause region (similar to 80 to similar to 100 km). In a prior companion paper [Mlynczak et al., ], we presented O-atom concentrations in the mesopause region inferred from measurements of day ozone and night hydroxyl emission rates made by the Sounding of the Atmosphere using Broadband Emission Radiometry (SABER) instrument. The approach presented here uses the constraint of global, annual mean energy balance to derive atomic oxygen concentrations, consistent with rates of radiative cooling by carbon dioxide (CO2) and solar heating due to molecular oxygen (O-2). The mathematical difference between these cooling and heating rates, on a global annual mean basis, effectively constrains the maximum heating rate for the sum of all other processes. The remaining terms, solar heating due to ozone plus a series of exothermic chemical reactions can be expressed as functions of O. This new approach enables a simple mathematical expression that yields the vertical profile of global annual mean radiatively constrained atomic oxygen in the mesopause region. The radiatively constrained atomic oxygen depends only on the CO2 cooling rates, O-2 solar heating rates, and standard reaction rate coefficients and enthalpies. Radiative cooling and solar heating rates used in these analyses are derived from measurements made by the SABER instrument on the NASA Thermosphere Ionosphere Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics satellite. There is excellent agreement between the SABER radiatively constrained atomic oxygen and that derived from the SABER ozone and OH emission measurements over most of the mesopause region. Radiatively constrained atomic oxygen represents an upper limit on the global average O-atom concentration in the mesopause region.

A time-dependent Volland-Stern-Maynard-Chen potential is used to model an idealized magnetic storm that erodes the plasmasphere to L<3. The potential is then relaxed to the prestorm state, and refilling is simulated for a range of L shells 3L5 over a period of 7days. Refilling rates compare well to observed refilling rates.

An April tornado day was found more likely during MJO phases 6 and 8 and less likely during phases 3, 4, and 7. A May tornado day was found more likely during phases 5 and 8 and less likely in phases 2 and 3. During phases with above-normal tornado day likelihoods, positive anomalies of convective available potential energy, bulk vertical wind shear, and storm-relative helicity were found in the central United States. Negative anomalies were found during phases with below-normal tornado day likelihoods. Anomalies of such environmental parameters were connected to the MJO via variability in tropospheric circulation. These results provide an important starting point for extended range prediction of U.S. tornado activity. C1 [Barrett, Bradford S.] USN Acad, Dept Oceanog, Annapolis, MD 21402 USA.

SO GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS LA English DT Article DE mesosphere; water vapor; ice clouds ID VARIABILITY; SHUTTLE; SUMMER AB Observations of polar mesospheric clouds by the Aeronomy of Ice in the Mesosphere Explorer show that for the Northern summers of 2007-2010, the cloud ice water content (IWC) and occurrence frequency varied with the meteorological forcing from the Southern winter stratosphere. With the increase in solar flux in the last two years, expectations were that the clouds would decrease due to reduced water vapor (H2O) and/or higher temperatures. Surprisingly, we observe more clouds in 2011 and 40% greater IWC in 2011 and 2012. The increase is particularly pronounced in the clouds with highest IWC. These high IWC clouds are associated with significant enhancements in total H2O (vapor and ice). We suggest this implies an additional source of H2O and that this is provided by space traffic exhaust. A preliminary estimate of the H2O released from summertime space traffic over the last six years is qualitatively consistent with this suggestion C1 [Siskind, David E.; Stevens, Michael H.] Naval Res Lab, Div Space Sci, Washington, DC USA.

We use a frequency-domain approach and utilize an elastodynamics formulation based on an interior-transmission representation of the scattering problem. This enables us to use the perfectly-matched-layer approximation (PML) method for exterior truncation while avoiding some fundamental problems associated with the truncation of the non-homogeneous exterior domains with coupled elasto-acoustics. We present several examples that verify the new formulation and its finite-element-based numerical implementation.

The developed polymers have exceptional thermo-oxidative properties similar to their diacetylene counterpart poly(carborane-siloxane-acetylene), PCSA. Thermal treatment of either of the PCSAAs results in a fully crosslinked thermoset by 500 degrees C resulting from the cycloaddition reactions involving the acetylene and aryl functionalities and subsequent formation of bridging disilylmethylene entities as discerned from Fourier transform infrared, 13C and 29Si solid-state NMR, and XPS studies. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the thermosets obtained from p-PCSAA possess enhanced crystallinity when compared to that obtained from m-PCSAA possibly due to more efficient packing interactions of the p-diethynylbenzene groups during thermoset formation. The presence of the aryl groups in the backbone of the PCSAAs' chains appeared to have enhanced the storage and bulk moduli of their thermosets when compared to the thermoset of PCSA. Dielectric studies of m-PCSAA and p-PCSAA revealed segmental relaxation peaks, , above their glass transition temperatures with p-PCSAA exhibiting a broader peak with a slower relaxation rate than m-PCSAA.

Brownian motion displays neither wild fluctuations (the "Noah effect"), nor long-range correlations (the "Joseph effect"). The quintessential model for processes displaying the Noah effect is Levy motion, the quintessential model for processes displaying the Joseph effect is fractional Brownian motion, and the prototypical model for processes displaying both the Noah and Joseph effects is fractional Levy motion. In this paper we review these four random-motion models - henceforth termed "fractional motions" - via a unified physical setting that is based on Langevin's equation, the Einstein-Smoluchowski paradigm, and stochastic scaling limits. The unified setting explains the universal macroscopic emergence of fractional motions, and predicts according to microscopic-level details - which of the four fractional motions will emerge on the macroscopic level. The statistical properties of fractional motions are classified and parametrized by two exponents a "Noah exponent" governing their fluctuations, and a "Joseph exponent" governing their dispersions and correlations. This self-contained review provides a concise and cohesive introduction to fractional motions. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

TI DETECTION OF THE COSMIC gamma-RAY HORIZON FROM MULTIWAVELENGTH OBSERVATIONS OF BLAZARS SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE BL Lacertae objects: general; cosmology: observations; diffuse radiation; galaxies: evolution; galaxies: formation ID EXTRAGALACTIC BACKGROUND LIGHT; LARGE-AREA TELESCOPE; BL LACERTAE OBJECTS; INTERGALACTIC MAGNETIC-FIELD; SPECTRAL ENERGY-DISTRIBUTION; SED-TYPE FRACTIONS; TEV BLAZARS; NEXT-GENERATION; 3C 66A; COSMOLOGICAL PARAMETERS AB The first statistically significant detection of the cosmic gamma-ray horizon (CGRH) that is independent of any extragalactic background light (EBL) model is presented. The CGRH is a fundamental quantity in cosmology. It gives an estimate of the opacity of the universe to very high energy (VHE) gamma-ray photons due to photon-photon pair production with the EBL. The only estimations of the CGRH to date are predictions from EBL models and lower limits from gamma-ray observations of cosmological blazars and gamma-ray bursts. Here, we present homogeneous synchrotron/synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) models of the spectral energy distributions of 15 blazars based on (almost) simultaneous observations from radio up to the highest energy gamma-rays taken with the Fermi satellite. These synchrotron/SSC models predict the unattenuated VHE fluxes, which are compared with the observations by imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. This comparison provides an estimate of the optical depth of the EBL, which allows us a derivation of the CGRH through a maximum likelihood analysis that is EBL-model independent. We find that the observed CGRH is compatible with the current knowledge of the EBL. C1 [Dominguez, A.; Siana, B.] Univ Calif Riverside, Dept Phys & Astron, Riverside, CA 92521 USA. [Finke, J.

Besides issues associated with CME initiation, the SEP intensities are difficult to predict, spanning three orders of magnitude at any given CME speed. Many lines of indirect evidence point to the pre-existence of suprathermal seed particles for injection into the acceleration process as a key ingredient limiting the SEP intensity of a given event. This paper outlines the observational and theoretical basis for the inference that a suprathermal particle population is present prior to large SEP events, explores various scenarios for generating seed particles and their observational signatures, and explains how such suprathermals could be detected through measuring the wings of the H I Ly alpha line.

TI Fe XII STALKS AND THE ORIGIN OF THE AXIAL FIELD IN FILAMENT CHANNELS SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE Sun: activity; Sun: chromosphere; Sun: filaments, prominences; Sun: magnetic topology; Sun: surface magnetism; Sun: UV radiation ID HEMISPHERIC HELICITY TREND; ELECTRIC-CURRENT HELICITY; SOLAR-CYCLE VARIATION; MAGNETIC HELICITY; ACTIVE REGIONS; HYDROGEN VORTICES; CHIRALITY; FLUX; PROMINENCES; PATTERNS AB Employing Fe XII images and line-of-sight magnetograms, we deduce the direction of the axial field in high-latitude filament channels from the orientation of the adjacent stalklike structures. Throughout the rising phase of the current solar cycle 24, filament channels poleward of latitude 30 degrees overwhelmingly obeyed the hemispheric chirality rule, being dextral (sinistral) in the northern (southern) hemisphere, corresponding to negative (positive) helicity. During the deep minimum of 2007-2009, the orientation of the Fe XII stalks was often difficult to determine, but no obvious violations of the rule were found. Although the hemispheric trend was still present during the maximum and early declining phase of cycle 23 (2000-2003), several high-latitude exceptions were identified at that time. From the observation that dextral (sinistral) filament channels form through the decay of active regions whose Fe XII features show a counterclockwise (clockwise) whorl, we conclude that the axial field direction is determined by the intrinsic helicity of the active regions. In contrast, generation of the axial field component by the photospheric differential rotation is difficult to reconcile with the observed chirality of polar crown and circular filament channels, and with the presence of filament channels along the equator. The main role of differential rotation in filament channel formation is to expedite the cancellation of flux and thus the removal of the transverse field component. We propose further that, rather than being ejected into the heliosphere, the axial field is eventually resubmerged by flux cancellation as the adjacent unipolar regions become increasingly mixed.

TI Breakup and then makeup: a predictive model of how cilia self-regulate hardness for posture control SO SCIENTIFIC REPORTS LA English DT Article ID ELASTIC PROPERTIES; CONTROL-SYSTEM; MOTOR CONTROL; DYNAMICS; PARAMECIUM; POLARIZATION; DISORDERS; RESET; LIFT AB Functioning as sensors and propulsors, cilia are evolutionarily conserved organelles having a highly organized internal structure. How a paramecium's cilium produces off-propulsion-plane curvature during its return stroke for symmetry breaking and drag reduction is not known. We explain these cilium deformations by developing a torsional pendulum model of beat frequency dependence on viscosity and an olivo-cerebellar model of self-regulation of posture control. The phase dependence of cilia torsion is determined, and a bio-physical model of hardness control with predictive features is offered. Crossbridge links between the central microtubule pair harden the cilium during the power stroke; this stroke's end is a critical phase during which ATP molecules soften the crossbridge-microtubule attachment at the cilium inflection point where torsion is at its maximum. A precipitous reduction in hardness ensues, signaling the start of ATP hydrolysis that re-hardens the cilium. The cilium attractor basin could be used as reference for perturbation sensing.

Whiskers interact with objects, causing stresses in whisker follicles and spikes in sensory neurons, which are interpreted by the brain to produce tactile perception. The mechanics of the whisker thus couple self-movement and the structure of the world to sensation. Whiskers are elastic thin rods; hence, they tend to vibrate. Whisker vibrations could be a key ingredient of rodent somatosensation. However, the specific conditions under which vibrations contribute appreciably to the stresses in the follicle remain unclear. We present an analytical solution for the deformation of individual whiskers in response to a time-varying force. We tracked the deformation of mouse whiskers during a pole localization task to extract the whisker Young's modulus and damping coefficient. We further extracted the time course and amplitude of steady-state forces during whisker-object contact. We use our model to calculate the relative contribution of steady-state and vibrational forces to stresses in the follicle in a variety of active sensation tasks and during the passive whisker stimuli typically used for sensory physiology. Vibrational stresses are relatively more prominent compared with steady-state forces for short contacts and for contacts close to the whisker tip. Vibrational stresses are large for texture discrimination, and under some conditions, object localization tasks. Vibrational stresses are negligible for typical ramp-and-hold stimuli. Our calculation provides a general framework, applicable to most experimental situations. C1 [Hires, S. Andrew; Svoboda, Karel] Janelia Farm Res Campus, Howard Hughes Med Inst, Ashburn, VA 20147 USA.

TI Identification of minimal human MHC-restricted CD8+ T-cell epitopes within the Plasmodium falciparum circumsporozoite protein (CSP) SO MALARIA JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE Malaria; Vaccine; Circumsporozoite protein; ELISpot; Flow cytometry; NetMHC; Epitope mapping; Class I restriction; Localization ID I ALLELE PROMISCUITY; MALARIA DNA VACCINE; PEPTIDE-BINDING; HLA-A; SUPERTYPES; MOLECULES; RESPONSES; ANTIGENS; IMMUNOGENICITY; POLYMORPHISM AB Background: Plasmodium falciparum circumsporozoite protein (CSP) is a leading malaria vaccine candidate antigen, known to elicit protective antibody responses in humans (RTS, S vaccine). Recently, a DNA prime/adenovirus (Ad) vector boost vaccine encoding CSP and a second P. falciparum antigen, apical membrane antigen-1, also elicited sterile protection, but in this case associated with interferon gamma ELISpot and CD8+ T cell but not antibody responses. The finding that CSP delivered by an appropriate vaccine platform likely elicits protective cell-mediated immunity provided a rationale for identifying class I-restricted epitopes within this leading vaccine candidate antigen. Methods: Limited samples of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from clinical trials of the Ad vaccine were used to identify CD8+ T cell epitopes within pools of overlapping 15mer peptides spanning portions of CSP that stimulated recall responses. Computerized algorithms (NetMHC) predicted 17 minimal class I-restricted 9-10mer epitopes within fifteen 15mers positive in ELISpot assay using PBMC from 10 HLA-matched study subjects. Four additional epitopes were subsequently predicted using NetMHC, matched to other study subjects without initial 15mer ELISpot screening. Nine of the putative epitopes were synthesized and tested by ELISpot assay, and six of these nine were further tested for CD8+ T cell responses by ELISpot CD4+ and CD8+ T cell-depletion and flow cytometry assays for evidence of CD8+ T cell dependence. Results: Each of the nine putative epitopes, all sequence-conserved, recalled responses from HLA-matched CSP-immunized research subjects. Four shorter sequences contained within these sequences were identified using NetMHC predictions and may have contributed to recall responses. Five (9-10mer) epitopes were confirmed to be targets of CD8+ T cell responses using ELISpot depletion and ICS assays. Two 9mers among these nine epitopes were each restricted by two HLA supertypes (A01/B07; A01A24/A24) and one 9mer was restricted by three HLA supertypes (A01A24/A24/B27) indicating that some CSP class I-restricted epitopes, like DR epitopes, may be HLA-promiscuous. Conclusions: This study identified nine and confirmed five novel class I epitopes restricted by six HLA supertypes, suggesting that an adenovirus-vectored CSP vaccine would be immunogenic and potentially protective in genetically diverse populations.

We obtain solutions of quasi-steady and volume-averaged conservation equations containing the moving foam front to describe the induction period and the subsequent drainage, respectively. The quasi-steady theory predicts that the induction period increases with decreasing foam injection velocity. After the induction period, the theory shows a constant liquid drainage rate when the foam front propagates at a constant velocity. The space-averaged liquid fraction of the foam decreases with time and reaches a constant (pseudo-steady state) value because of the drainage. The theory shows that the liquid drainage is significant when the foam injection velocity is less than or equal to the terminal velocity of the liquid in a channel (Plateau border), which is shown to depend on foam parameters including initial liquid volume fraction and bubble diameter. At large injection velocity, the theory predicts induction time and drainage rate corresponding to free drainage from stationary foams. We also present experiments measuring liquid drained from dry foams (high-expansion foams), which are generated by forcing air through a liquid-covered metal screen at bench-scale. The experimental data show significant liquid drainage during filling in good agreement with the theoretical predictions for foams with liquid volume fraction less than 0.01. After the container is filled with the foam and the foam addition is stopped, both the theory and experiments show that the drainage rate decreases exponentially with time until equilibrium between capillarity and gravitational forces is reached and drainage ceases to occur. Thus, the theory shows striking differences in drainage behavior during and after filling in agreement with the experimental data. Published by Elsevier B.V.

In addition, as the switching rates in devices are pushed to higher frequencies, it is important to understand carrier dynamic phenomena in semiconductors on femtosecond time-scales. In this work, we employed time and spin resolved differential transmission measurements; to probe carrier and spin relaxation times in several InAsP ternary alloys. Our results demonstrate the sensitivity of the spin and carrier dynamics in this material system to the excitation wavelengths, the As concentrations, and temperature. (C) 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.

Baselines that sample features as small as 0.2 m can be built, however, the fringes would be swamped by the resolved component. Recent observations have shown that small glints known as "glintchen," aside from being a nuisance, serve to isolate and highlight the signal from these structures. Imaging of geosats during glintchen events can determine the dimensions of these structures and can also play a critical role in determining if these glintchen are due to a previously undetected companion satellite. An approach for performing this glint-aided imaging of geosats and the wealth of detail it would yield, is discussed. (C) The Authors.

MEMS fabrication-friendly SiOx and Al are used to maximize the bimetallic effect and metamaterial absorption at 3.8 THz, the frequency of a quantum cascade laser illumination source. Sensors with different configurations were fabricated and the measured absorption is near 100% and responsivity is around 1.2 deg/mu W, which agree well with finite element simulations. The results indicate the potential of using these detectors to fabricate focal plane arrays for real time THz imaging.

Participants played in 15-round sessions where they were allowed to vote to remove other subjects only after round 5 and in one design also voted whether to punish the remaining subjects after round 10. Consistent with the literature, we find that an additional threat of punishment increases the contributions of participants before the punishment vote. The literature shows that frequent threats of expulsion may increase efficiency in the provision of public goods. In realistic settings, however, opportunities for expulsion are limited whereas threats of non-expulsive punishments are common. We find the threat of costly punishment increases contributions with little impact on efficiency (57.1% versus 58.1%), and that standards for inclusion rise when later punishment is available.

We investigated the extent to which racial/ethnic disparities in prison and diversion to drug treatment were explained by current arrest and criminal history characteristics among drug-involved offenders, and whether those disparities decreased after California's Proposition 36, which mandated first-and second-time nonviolent drug offenders drug treatment instead of prison. Methods. We analyzed administrative data on approximately 170 000 drug-involved arrests in California between 1995 and 2005. We examined odds ratios from logistic regressions for prison and diversion across racial/ethnic groups before and after Proposition 36. Results. We found significant disparities in prison and diversion for Blacks and Hispanics relative to Whites. These disparities decreased after controlling for current arrest and criminal history characteristics for Blacks. Proposition 36 was also associated with a reduction in disparities, but more so for Hispanics than Blacks. Conclusions. Disparities in prison and diversion to drug treatment among drug-involved offenders affect hundreds of thousands of citizens and might reinforce imbalances in criminal justice and health outcomes. Our study indicated that standardized criminal justice policies that improved access to drug treatment might contribute to alleviating some share of these disparities.

TI Effect of Load Carriage on Lumbar Spine Kinematics SO SPINE LA English DT Article DE low back pain; backpack; military; load carriage; MRI; upright MRI; lumbar spine kinematics ID LOW-BACK-PAIN; IN-VIVO; MEDICAL ASPECTS; AXIAL LOAD; CURVATURE; POSTURE; SCOLIOSIS; DIAGNOSIS; RESPONSES; ROTATION AB Study Design. Feasibility study on the acquisition of lumbar spine kinematic data from upright magnetic resonance images obtained under heavy load carrying conditions. Objective. To characterize the effect of the load on spinal kinematics of active Marines under typical load carrying conditions from a macroscopic and lumbar-level approach in active-duty US Marines. Summary of Background Data. Military personnel carry heavy loads of up to 68 kg depending on duty position and nature of the mission or training; these loads are in excess of the recommended assault loads. Performance and injury associated with load carriage have been studied; however, knowledge of lumbar spine kinematic changes is still not incorporated into training. These data would provide guidance for setting load and duration limits and a tool to investigate the potential contribution of heavy load carrying on lumbar spine pathologies. Methods. Sagittal T-2 magnetic resonance images of the lumbar spine were acquired on a 0.6-T upright magnetic resonance imaging scanner for 10 active-duty Marines. Each Marine was scanned without load (UN1), immediately after donning load (LO2), after 45 minutes of standing (LO3) and walking (LO4) with load, and after 45 minutes of side-lying recovery (UN5). Custom-made software was used to measure whole spine angles, intervertebral angles, and regional disc heights (L1-S1). Repeated measurements analysis of variance and post hoc Sidak tests were used to identify significant differences between tasks (alpha = 0.05). Results. The position of the spine was significantly (P < 0.0001) more horizontal relative to the external reference frame and lordosis was reduced during all tasks with load. Superior levels became more lordotic, whereas inferior levels became more kyphotic. Heavy load induced lumbar spine flexion and only anterior disc and posterior intervertebral disc height changes were observed. All kinematic variables returned to baseline levels after 45 minutes of side-lying recovery. Conclusion. Superior and inferior lumbar levels showed different kinematic behaviors under heavy load carrying conditions. These findings suggest a postural, lumbar flexion strategy aimed at centralizing a heavy posterior load over the base of support.

Because the maximum peak power tracking algorithm may result in a supply-demand imbalance, an alternative algorithm is needed for load sharing. In this paper, a fully distributed control scheme is presented to coordinate the operations of multiple doubly-fed induction generators (DFIGs) in a microgrid. According to the proposed control strategy, each bus in a microgrid has an associated bus agent that may have two function modules. The global information discovery module discovers the total available wind generation and total demand. The load sharing control module calculates the generation reference of a DFIG. The consensus-based algorithm can guarantee convergence for microgrids of arbitrary topologies under various operating conditions. By controlling the utilization levels of DFIGs to a common value, the supply-demand balance can be maintained. In addition, the detrimental impact of inaccurate and outdated predictions of maximum wind power can be alleviated. The generated control references are tracked by coordinating converter controls and pitch angle control. Simulation results with a 5-DFIG microgrid demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

To account for a lack of simultaneous common volume observations, the observed temperatures were scaled by the NRLMSIS-00 model temperatures for comparison. It was found that on average SABER, temperatures are warmer than NIRS at all altitudes between 90 and 140km. In the altitude range 90-100km, the SABER temperatures were warmer than NIRS by similar to 10K consistent with previous validation experiments and in agreement with Optical Spectrograph and Infrared Imaging System (OSIRIS) O-2 A-band comparisons in the polar mesopause region. At higher altitudes, the differences between SABER and NIRS exceed 30K on average. Thus, the NIRS observations reinforce the idea that the SABER temperatures are too warm below similar to 110km; and above that altitude, they are increasingly in error consistent with expectations based on estimated inaccuracies in the retrieval algorithm. Large standard deviations of the SABER and NIRS ratios are reflective of substantial variability of the thermospheric temperatures throughout the region. C1 [Christensen, A.

In 1037h of observations at times and over regions for which TGFs are expected, 384 new TGFs were found in addition to the 39 TGFs and two Terrestrial Electron Beam events already detected without the new data mode and methodology. Cosmic ray showers were found to be an important background; they show characteristic signatures in the data of both GBM and the Fermi Large Area Telescope Calorimeter that enable their removal, leaving a sample estimated to consist of approximate to 98% TGFs. The sample includes shorter TGFs than previously found with GBM. The true duration distribution likely contains additional short TGFs because their detection by GBM is limited by detector dead time. One-third of this sample has matches with locations from the World Wide Lightning Location Network (WWLLN)maps of these locations show the geographic and meteorological features more clearly than maps of spacecraft locations. The intrinsic TGF rate is evaluated using the lightning rate maps of the Lightning Imaging Sensor, accounting for the detection efficiency of GBM as a function of spacecraft-source offset, from which we estimate a global TGF rate of approximate to 400,000 per year. With continuous production of data in the new mode we estimate that GBM will detect approximate to 850 TGFs per year.

TI Thermospheric tidal effects on the ionospheric midlatitude summer nighttime anomaly using SAMI3 and TIEGCM SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-SPACE PHYSICS LA English DT Article DE MSNA; SAMI3; TIEGCM; tidal effect ID NONMIGRATING SEMIDIURNAL TIDES; GENERAL-CIRCULATION MODEL; MIGRATING SOLAR TIDES; LATENT-HEAT RELEASE; UPPER-ATMOSPHERE; F-REGION; ENHANCEMENTS; MIDDLE; WIND AB This paper is the first study to employ a three-dimensional physics-based ionosphere model, SAMI3, coupled with the National Center for Atmospheric Research Thermosphere Ionosphere Electrodynamics General Circulation Model (TIEGCM) and Global Scale Wave Model to simulate the mesospheric and lower thermospheric tidal effects on the development of midlatitude summer nighttime anomaly (MSNA). Using this coupled model, the diurnal variation of MSNA electron densities at 300 km altitude is simulated on both June solstice (day of year (DOY) 167) and December solstice (DOY 350) in 2007. Results show successful reproduction of the southern hemisphere MSNA structure including the eastward drift feature of the southern MSNA, which is not reproduced by the default SAMI3 runs using the neutral winds provided by the empirical Horizontal Wind Model 93 neutral wind model. A linear least squares algorithm for extracting tidal components is utilized to examine the major tidal component affecting the variation of southern MSNA. Results show that the standing diurnal oscillation component dominates the vertical neutral wind manifesting as a diurnal eastward wave-1 drift of the southern MSNA in the local time frame. We also find that the stationary planetary wave-1 component of vertical neutral wind can cause diurnal variation of the summer nighttime electron density enhancement around the midlatitude ionosphere.

TI A Transmission-Line Model for Wave Excitation of a Porous Conducting Sphere SO IEEE ANTENNAS AND PROPAGATION MAGAZINE LA English DT Article DE Externally excited spherical resonant cavity; large electric fields; radar cross section ID DIELECTRIC BOUNDARY; FORMULAS; PLATES; MESH AB A wire mesh conformed to a spherical surface forms a spherical polyhedron that has unique resonator and scattering properties for electromagnetic (EM) waves. Excitation of the spherical polyhedron by an incident plane wave at specified resonant frequencies yields large internal electric fields. Narrowband enhancements in the backscatter radar cross section are found at these same frequencies. These effects are explained with a model where the mesh is treated as an inductive frequency-selective surface that is used to match a shorted-line resonator attached to a transmission line. With this transmission-line model, the impedance of the inductive surface is shown to be an addition to the expression for the spherical harmonic series used to describe solid conducting spheres and spherical cavities. The resonant modes for the internal and external electric fields of the porous sphere are found with this formulation. The surface mesh is used in the low-frequency limit, where the EM wavelength is much larger than the polygon's holes in the mesh. The impedance (inductance and resistance) of the mesh are adjusted by varying the radii of the edges of the polygons and the conductivity of the edge material. Applications of the spherical porous conducting resonator (SPCR) include glow plasma discharges, measurements of dielectric constants of gases, and frequency-selective radar targets.

The goal of the study was to accurately model, simulate and evaluate the progressive flooding, sinking and structural failure of the Titanic following its collision with the iceberg. Detailed computer flooding analysis models were developed, and new novel techniques for dynamic flooding simulation using the commercial software GHSwere developed and implemented. The results of these detailed flooding simulations were used in conjunction with detailed structural finite-element models developed using the commercial ship structural design and analysis software MAESTROfor conducting detailed stress and hull failure analyses. This paper provides technical documentation of the development of the detailed computer models, including sources of information, assumptions, conventions and methods. The paper also provides technical discussion of simulation and analysis methodologies, results of the detailed progressive flooding and sinking analyses, and results of the detailed structural stress and failure analyses, along with important lessons learned' that are applicable to future marine forensic analyses.

TI River velocities from sequential multispectral remote sensing images SO WATER RESOURCES RESEARCH LA English DT Article DE current; river current ID SEA-SURFACE VELOCITIES; TEMPERATURE TIME-SERIES; EDDY FORMATION; INVERSE MODEL; SEQUENCES; FLOW AB We address the problem of extracting surface velocities from a pair of multispectral remote sensing images over rivers using a new nonlinear multiple-tracer form of the global optimal solution (GOS). The derived velocity field is a valid solution across the image domain to the nonlinear system of equations obtained by minimizing a cost function inferred from the conservation constraint equations for multiple tracers. This is done by deriving an iteration equation for the velocity, based on the multiple-tracer displaced frame difference equations, and a local approximation to the velocity field. The number of velocity equations is greater than the number of velocity components, and thus overly constrain the solution. The iterative technique uses Gauss-Newton and Levenberg-Marquardt methods and our own algorithm of the progressive relaxation of the overconstraint. We demonstrate the nonlinear multiple-tracer GOS technique with sequential multispectral Landsat and ASTER images over a portion of the Potomac River in MD/VA, and derive a dense field of accurate velocity vectors. We compare the GOS river velocities with those from over 12 years of data at four NOAA reference stations, and find good agreement. We discuss how to find the appropriate spatial and temporal resolutions to allow optimization of the technique for specific rivers.

This paper reviews relevant theory and practice to describe ways in which public procurement shapes corporate social responsibility, and it builds upon theory to develop testable propositions to describe these influences. Using the case of U.S. defense procurement, statistical analysis indicates a significant relationship between the extent to which firms engage in defense procurement and the corporate social responsibility orientations of their managers. The findings have application both for social responsibility theory and for public procurement policy and practice. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

By inducing a gradient of oxygen functional groups, drops of water and dimethyl-methylphosphonate (a nerve agent simulant) are "pulled" in the direction of increasing oxygen content, while fluorine gradients "push" the droplet motion in the direction of decreasing fluorine content. The direction of motion Is broadly attributed to increasing/decreasing hydrophilicity, which is correlated to high/low adhesion and binding energy. Such tunability in surface chemistry provides additional capabilities in device design for applications ranging from microfluidics to chemical sensing. C1 [Bennett, Charlee J.

TI Dynamical mass of the O-type supergiant in zeta Orionis A SO ASTRONOMY & ASTROPHYSICS LA English DT Article DE techniques: interferometric; stars: fundamental parameters; supergiants; stars: individual: zeta Orionis A; binaries: spectroscopic ID STELLAR MODELS; EFFECTIVE TEMPERATURES; 120 M(CIRCLE-DOT); VISUAL BINARIES; STARS; GRIDS; ATMOSPHERES; PARALLAXES; RADII AB Aims. A close companion of zeta Orionis A was found in 2000 with the Navy Precision Optical Interferometer (NPOI), and shown to be a physical companion. Because the primary is a supergiant of type O, for which dynamical mass measurements are very rare, the companion was observed with NPOI over the full 7-year orbit. Our aim was to determine the dynamical mass of a supergiant that, due to the physical separation of more than 10 AU between the components, cannot have undergone mass exchange with the companion. Methods. The interferometric observations allow measuring the relative positions of the binary components and their relative brightness. The data collected over the full orbital period allows all seven orbital elements to be determined. In addition to the interferometric observations, we analyzed archival spectra obtained at the Calar Alto, Haute Provence, Cerro Armazones, and La Silla observatories, as well as new spectra obtained at the VLT on Cerro Paranal. In the high-resolution spectra we identified a few lines that can be associated exclusively to one or the other component for the measurement of the radial velocities of both. The combination of astrometry and spectroscopy then yields the stellar masses and the distance to the binary star. Results. The resulting masses for components Aa of 14.0 +/- 2.2 M-circle dot and Ab of 7.4 +/- 1.1 M-circle dot are low compared to theoretical expectations, with a distance of 294 +/- 21 pc which is smaller than a photometric distance estimate of 387 +/- 54 pc based on the spectral type B0III of the B component. If the latter (because it is also consistent with the distance to the Orion OB1 association) is adopted, the mass of the secondary component Ab of 14 +/- 3 M-circle dot would agree with classifying a star of type B0.5IV. It is fainter than the primary by about 2.2 +/- 0.1 magnitudes in the visual. The primary mass is then determined to be 33 +/- 10 M-circle dot. The possible reasons for the distance discrepancy are most likely related to physical effects, such as small systematic errors in the radial velocities due to stellar winds. C1 [Hummel, C.

TI Cavitation of a submerged jet SO EXPERIMENTS IN FLUIDS LA English DT Article ID WATER JETS; EROSION; INCEPTION; CAVITY AB A cavitation cloud forms when a high-pressure water jet is submerged in a tank of quiescent water. The water jet is formed as high-pressure nitrogen forces a fixed-volume column of water through a nozzle. The diameter and exit velocity of the water jet affect the behavior and geometry of the resulting cavitation. The relationships between the Reynolds number of the flow and the measured cloud geometry, propagation distance, pulsation frequency, and front velocity are presented. The distance a cloud propagated increased by 30 % when the diameter of the jet was doubled from 1.0 to 2.0 mm. Additionally, the longitudinal cross-sectional area and propagation distance increase with increasing Reynolds number, while the frequency at which the jet pulsed from the nozzle was found to decrease with an increase in Reynolds number.

TI Magnetic reconnection in a weakly ionized plasma SO PHYSICS OF PLASMAS LA English DT Article ID CHROMOSPHERIC ANEMONE JETS; SOLAR ATMOSPHERE; TEARING INSTABILITY; QUIET-SUN; MODELS; EMERGENCE; SPICULES; FLUX AB Magnetic reconnection in partially ionized plasmas is a ubiquitous phenomenon spanning the range from laboratory to intergalactic scales, yet it remains poorly understood and relatively little studied. Here, we present results from a self-consistent multi-fluid simulation of magnetic reconnection in a weakly ionized reacting plasma with a particular focus on the parameter regime of the solar chromosphere. The numerical model includes collisional transport, interaction and reactions between the species, and optically thin radiative losses. This model improves upon our previous work in Leake et al. ["Multi-fluid simulations of chromospheric magnetic reconnection in a weakly ionized reacting plasma," Astrophys. J. 760, 109 (2012)] by considering realistic chromospheric transport coefficients, and by solving a generalized Ohm's law that accounts for finite ion-inertia and electron-neutral drag. We find that during the two dimensional reconnection of a Harris current sheet with an initial width larger than the neutral-ion collisional coupling scale, the current sheet thins until its width becomes less than this coupling scale, and the neutral and ion fluids decouple upstream from the reconnection site. During this process of decoupling, we observe reconnection faster than the single-fluid Sweet-Parker prediction, with recombination and plasma outflow both playing a role in determining the reconnection rate. As the current sheet thins further and elongates, it becomes unstable to the secondary tearing instability, and plasmoids are seen. The reconnection rate, outflows, and plasmoids observed in this simulation provide evidence that magnetic reconnection in the chromosphere could be responsible for jet-like transient phenomena such as spicules and chromospheric jets.

In this study, radar positions are optimized by minimizing the reconstruction errors of the surface currents in the Southeastern Chukchi Sea. By means of an adjoint sensitivity technique it is shown that in the case of a pair of radars, their optimal (i.e. most favorable) location is at Kivalina, a settlement near the strongest outflow of the Alaskan Coastal Current from the monitored domain. The least favorable location is at Shishmaref, a settlement near relatively weak inflow into the region as observed from the coast. However, if two pairs of radars are available, the best locations are Kivalina and Shishmaref. The results are verified using observational system simulation experiments (OSSEs) performed in the framework of a 4-dimensional variational assimilation of simulated radar observations into a numerical model. It is shown that correct specification of the first guess solution is of primary importance for obtaining realistic results from both adjoint sensitivity analysis and OSSEs. This emphasizes the necessity of obtaining accurate high resolution climatologies for future ice-free offshore regions in the Arctic. Published by Elsevier B.V. and NIPR.

TI Improvements to the Operational Tropical Cyclone Wind Speed Probability Model SO WEATHER AND FORECASTING LA English DT Article DE Tropical cyclones; Wind; Statistical techniques; Operational forecasting; Probability forecasts; models; distribution; Emergency preparedness ID PREDICTION AB The National Hurricane Center Hurricane Probability Program, which estimated the probability of a tropical cyclone passing within a specific distance of a selected set of coastal stations, was replaced by the more general Tropical Cyclone Surface Wind Speed Probabilities in 2006. A Monte Carlo (MC) method is used to estimate the probabilities of 34-, 50-, and 64-kt (1 kt = 0.51 m s(-1)) winds at multiple time periods through 120 h. Versions of the MC model are available for the Atlantic, the combined eastern and central North Pacific, and the western North Pacific. This paper presents a verification of the operational runs of the MC model for the period 2008-11 and describes model improvements since 2007. The most significant change occurred in 2010 with the inclusion of a method to take into account the uncertainty of the track forecasts on a case-by-case basis, which is estimated from the spread of a dynamical model ensemble and other parameters. The previous version represented the track uncertainty from the error distributions from the previous 5 yr of forecasts from the operational centers, with no case-to-case variability. Results show the MC model provides robust estimates of the wind speed probabilities using a number of standard verification metrics, and that the inclusion of the case-by-case measure of track uncertainty improved the probability estimates. Beginning in 2008, an older operational wind speed probability table product was modified to include information from the MC model. This development and a verification of the new version of the table are described. C1 [DeMaria, Mark; Knaff, John A.] NOAA NESDIS, Ft Collins, CO USA.

Eddies are found to have diameters of 100 to 150 m, an alongshore spacing of about 375 m (2.5 times the surf-zone width), and lifetimes of 40 min and longer. Eddies travel alongshore at speeds of similar to 0.3 to 0.5 m/s, at a distance from the shoreline of about 1.3 surf-zone widths. Eddies are also observed to move directly offshore, two surf-zone widths from the shoreline. Fine-scale thermal structure within an eddy includes similar to 6-m-wide cold patches, possibly the surface imprints of bottom-induced turbulence, and a small (<10-m wide) 'cold core', likely from accumulation of surfactant by radially inward surface flow. Visualization of an eddy is enhanced through flow deformation of surfactant slicks. In particular, narrow slicks appear to be wound-up by an eddy into spirals similar in form to those of a free vortex. In this sense, these nearshore eddies resemble ocean sub-mesoscale 'spiral eddies' as seen in synthetic-aperture radar and sunglint imagery. C1 [Marmorino, George O.; Smith, Geoffrey B.; Miller, W.

This paper introduces two new probability-distribution-based techniques for computing the likelihood that a given brightness temperature observation contains an RFI signal. These methods extend the spectral difference method already being employed for the detection of RFI signals, and they allow for simultaneous observation-by-observation RFI detection of both land-and sea-based brightness temperature observations. This paper starts by laying out the theoretical groundwork for both techniques. It will then expand upon that groundwork to detail its practical application in analyzing WindSat brightness temperature observations. Finally, this paper compares the resulting probability indices from the detailed algorithms with spectral difference and principle component analysis indices computed from WindSat observations for various geographic regions. These comparisons will show effective RFI signal detection by these new techniques for RFI signal strengths as low as 4-5 K. C1 US Naval Res Lab, Remote Sensing Phys Branch, Washington, DC 20375 USA.

Fault injection tools, which include both fault simulation and emulation tools, have become more common in the last 15 years. Fault simulation tools use analytical methods for assessing RHA, whereas fault emulation uses hardware methods. Both fault simulation and emulation allow designers to augment traditional RHA techniques to determine whether circuit designs, microarchitectures, components, and application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) meet the requirements for a particular mission. Fault simulation and emulation can provide the designers the luxury of testing on the benchtop without the time and financial constraints of accelerated radiation testing. This paper explores how to design, implement, and validate a fault simulation or emulation system. The paper ends with several case studies of currently used fault simulation and emulation systems.

This project evaluated the respiratory toxicity of sand particles collected at military bases near Fort Irwin USA, in Iraq (Camp Victory, Taji and Talil), and Khost Afghanistan. Our primary focus was on assessing the role of soluble metals in the respiratory toxicity of the sand particles using in vitro and in vivo methods. Replicating rat type II alveolar cell cultures (RLE-6TN) were exposed to sand extracts or vehicle control in serum-free media for <= 24 h. Cytotoxicity was determined using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay and assessment of lactate dehydrogenase leakage. The relative in vitro cytotoxicity of the sand extracts was Taji approximate to Talil > Afghanistan > Camp Victory approximate to Fort Irwin. We also assessed extracts of Camp Victory, Afghanistan, and Taji sand for acute and delayed pulmonary toxicity in rats following intratracheal administration. Assessments included biochemical analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and lung histopathology. The in vitro cytotoxicity assay results were partially predictive of in vivo responses. The more cytotoxic Taji sand extract induced an acute irritant response in rats following intratracheal administration. Rats given the less cytotoxic Camp Victory sand extract had minimal biochemical or cytological BALF changes whereas rats given either the Afghanistan or Taji sand extracts demonstrated BALF changes that were suggestive of mild lung inflammation. Unexpectedly, we observed similar lung pathology in all extract-exposed rats. The results of our study can be used to prioritize future particle inhalation studies or guide epidemiological study design. C1 [Taylor, Karen; Foster, Melanie L.; Law, J. McHugh; Henderson, M.

This record-breaking increase has led to suggestions that it is the manifestation of the effects of global warming. With rainfall significantly influenced by its steep terrain, Taiwan offers a natural laboratory to study the role that terrain effects may play in the climate change of TC rainfall. Here, it is shown that most of the recently observed large increases in typhoon-related rainfall are the result of slow-moving TCs and the location of their tracks relative to the meso--scale terrain. In addition, stronger interaction between the typhoon circulation and southwest monsoon wind surges after the typhoon center moves into the Taiwan Strait may cause a long-term trend of increasing typhoon rainfall intensity, which is not observed before the typhoon center exits Taiwan. The variation in the location of the track cannot be related to the effects of global warming on western North Pacific TC tracks reported in the literature. The weaker steering flow and the stronger monsoon-TC interaction are consistent with the recently discovered multidecadal trend of intensifying subtropical monsoon and tropical circulations, which is contrary to some theoretical and model projections of global warming. There is also no evidence of a positive feedback between global warming-related water vapor supply and TC intensity, as the number of strong landfalling TCs has decreased significantly since 1960 and the recent heavy rainfall typhoons are all of weak-to-medium intensity.

When present, these chronic injuries can result in considerable shoulder dysfunction. A number of surgical techniques have been described for the management of these injuries. Current literature suggests that supplemental bone grafting may not be necessary in all cases but should be considered in the setting of atrophic nonunion. However, optimal treatment is controversial, as discussed in the literature. This article highlights the current treatment options based on the existing literature and describes our preferred techniques. Methods: We carried out a comprehensive review of the PubMed and Medline databases using multiple-keywords (eg, clavicle fracture, clavicle nonunion, and clavicle malunion) to identify the relevant literature regarding this topic. Reference lists of the relevant articles were reviewed for additional important articles. Conclusion: Nonunion and malunion of the clavicle remain challenging problems. Reliable bony union and improved shoulder function can be expected with thoughtful surgical planning, appropriate implant choice, and meticulous surgical technique.

(Longmont, CO, USA). Worldview-3 (WV-3), currently planned for launch in 2014, will have 8 spectral bands in the Visible and Near-Infrared (VNIR), and an additional 8 bands in the Short-Wave-Infrared (SWIR); the approximately 1.0-2.5 mu m spectral range. WV-3 will be the first commercial system with both high spatial resolution and multispectral SWIR capability. Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS) data collected at 3 m spatial resolution with 86 SWIR bands having 10 nm spectral resolution were used to simulate the new WV-3 SWIR data. AVIRIS data were converted to reflectance, geographically registered, and resized to the proposed 3.7 and 7.5 m spatial resolutions. WV-3 SWIR band pass functions were used to spectrally resample the data to the proposed 8 SWIR bands. Characteristic reflectance signatures extracted from the data for known mineral locations (endmembers) were used to map spatial locations of specific minerals. The WV-3 results, when compared to spectral mapping using the full AVIRIS SWIR dataset, illustrate that the WV-3 spectral bands should permit identification and mapping of some key minerals, however, minerals with similar spectral features may be confused and will not be mapped with the same detail as using hyperspectral systems. The high spatial resolution should provide detailed mapping of complex alteration mineral patterns not achievable by current multispectral systems. The WV-3 simulation results are promising and indicate that this sensor will be a significant tool for geologic remote sensing.

Medical providers often use small portable pulse oximetry devices to help guide their clinical decision making. A significant body of high altitude research is based on the use of these devices to monitor hypoxia, yet there is a paucity of evidence that these devices are accurate in these environments. We studied whether these devices perform accurately and reliably under true mountain conditions. Methods.-Healthy unacclimatized active-duty military volunteers participating in mountain warfare training at 2100 in (6900 feet) above sea level were evaluated with several different pulse oximetry devices while in a cold weather, high altitude field environment and then had arterial blood gases (ABG) drawn using an i-STAT for comparison. The pulse o)dmeter readings were compared with the gold standard ABG readings. Results.-A total of 49 individuals completed the study. There was no statistically significant difference between any of the devices and the gold standard of ABG. The best performing device was the PalmSAT (PS) 8000SM finger probe with a mean difference of 2.17% and SD of 2.56 (95% CI, 1.42% to 2.92%). In decreasing order of performance were the PS 8000AA finger probe (mean SD, 2.54%+/- 2.68%; 95% CI, 1.76% to 3.32%), the PS 8000Q ear probe (2.47%+/- 4.36%; 95% CI, 1.21% to 3.75%), the Nonin Onyx 9500 (3.29%+/- 3.12%; 95% CI, 2.39% to 4.20%), and finally the PS 8000R forehead reflectance sensor (5.15%+/- 2.97%; 95% CI, 4.28% to 6.01%). Conclusions.-Based on the results of this study, results of the newer portable pulse oximeters appear to be closely correlated to that of the ABG measurements when tested in true mountain conditions.

TI A Dynamic Model of a Reinforced Thin Plate with Ribs of Finite Width SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ACOUSTICS AND VIBRATION LA English DT Article ID FLUID-LOADED PLATES; ACOUSTIC SCATTERING; STIFFENED PLATE; SUBMERGED PLATE; LINE AB This paper derives an analytical model of a thin plate of infinite extent stiffened by ribs that have a finite width. The governing model of the plate is the one-dimensional flexural wave equation, and the ribs were modelled as translational springs. The plate was excited by an external load that is harmonic in time and space. An orthogonalization procedure was developed, and the resulting system equations are an infinite set of algebraic equations containing a diagonal matrix that represents the plate dynamics and a full matrix that contains permutations of the Fourier coefficients of the Heaviside step function that represent the rib forces. This matrix equation is truncated and inverted and yields a solution of the plate displacements. An example problem is formulated, and the resulting displacement field is compared to a solution generated using finite element analysis for validation of the solution method. The system stop- and pass-band behaviour as a function of rib width is illustrated. It is shown that an increase in the width of the ribs results in greater stop-band behaviour of the system.

TI Recovery of low-temperature flow stress in zone-refined aluminum single crystals SO ACTA MATERIALIA LA English DT Article DE Recovery; Kinetics; Aluminum; Deformation ID SUBGRAIN GROWTH; RECRYSTALLIZATION; MIGRATION; IRON AB The recovery of flow stress in zone-refined aluminum single crystals, deformed at -196 degrees C in uniaxial tension along the < 1 1 1 > direction, has been measured at temperatures between 0 and 200 degrees C after straining to flow stresses ranging from 7 to 30 ksi (48-207 MPa). The corresponding strains ranged from 1.2 x 10(-2) to 13.1 x 10(-2). The effects of pre-stress and recovery temperature on structure and flow stress after recovery were systematically evaluated. The measured activation energy for recovery was found to increase linearly with the extent of recovery. The flow stress after recovery is found to be proportional to the reciprocal of the square root of the cell diameter. These results are used to provide, in a self-consistent manner, a new model for the recovery process. Published by Elsevier Ltd. on behalf of Acta Materialia Inc. C1 [Rath, B. B.; Pande, C.

Raman measurements show a graphene 2D peak at 2719 cm(-1) after GaN growth. X-ray diffraction analysis reveals [0001]-oriented hexagonal GaN with (0002) peak rocking curve full width at the half maximum (FWHM) of 544 arcsec. The FWHM values are similar to reported values for GaN grown by MOCVD on sapphire. The GaN layer has a strong room-temperature photoluminescence band edge emission.

TI DISCOVERY OF THE OPTICAL COUNTERPARTS TO FOUR ENERGETIC FERMI MILLISECOND PULSARS SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE binaries: general; pulsars: general; pulsars: individual (PSRs J1810+1744, J0023+0923, J2215+5135, J22561024, B1920+57, J1023+0038) ID BINARY PSR B1957+20; ECLIPSING BINARY; NEUTRON-STAR; LIGHT-CURVE; COMPANION; RADIO; TELESCOPE; EVOLUTION; MASS; VARIABILITY AB In the last few years, over 43 millisecond radio pulsars have been discovered by targeted searches of unidentified gamma-ray sources found by the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope. A large fraction of these millisecond pulsars are in compact binaries with low-mass companions. These systems often show eclipses of the pulsar signal and are commonly known as black widows and redbacks because the pulsar is gradually destroying its companion. In this paper, we report on the optical discovery of four strongly irradiated millisecond pulsar companions. All four sources show modulations of their color and luminosity at the known orbital periods from radio timing. Light curve modeling of our exploratory data shows that the equilibrium temperature reached on the companion's dayside with respect to their nightside is consistent with about 10%-30% of the available spin-down energy from the pulsar being reprocessed to increase the companion's dayside temperature. This value compares well with the range observed in other irradiated pulsar binaries and offers insights about the energetics of the pulsarwind and the production of gamma-ray emission. In addition, this provides a simple way of estimating the brightness of irradiated pulsar companions given the pulsar spin-down luminosity. Our analysis also suggests that two of the four new irradiated pulsar companions are only partially filling their Roche lobe. Some of these sources are relatively bright and represent good targets for spectroscopic follow-up. These measurements could enable, among other things, mass determination of the neutron stars in these systems. C1 [Breton, R.

We argue that these observed properties are inconsistent with any known class of Galactic transients (flare stars, X-ray binaries, dwarf novae), and instead suggest a cosmological origin. The detection of incoherent radio emission at such distances implies a large emitting region, from which we infer the presence of relativistic ejecta. The observed properties are all consistent with the population of long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), marking the first time such an outburst has been discovered in the distant universe independent of a high-energy trigger. We searched for possible high-energy counterparts to PTF11agg, but found no evidence for associated prompt emission. We therefore consider three possible scenarios to account for a GRB-like afterglow without a high-energy counterpart: an "untriggered" GRB (lack of satellite coverage), an "orphan" afterglow (viewing-angle effects), and a "dirty fireball" (suppressed high-energy emission). The observed optical and radio light curves appear inconsistent with even the most basic predictions for off-axis afterglow models. The simplest explanation, then, is that PTF11agg is a normal, on-axis long-duration GRB for which the associated high-energy emission was simply missed. However, we have calculated the likelihood of such a serendipitous discovery by PTF and find that it is quite small (approximate to 2.6%). While not definitive, we nonetheless speculate that PTF11agg may represent a new, more common (>4 times the on-axis GRB rate at 90% confidence) class of relativistic outbursts lacking associated high-energy emission. If so, such sources will be uncovered in large numbers by future wide-field optical and radio transient surveys. C1 [Cenko, S.

TI A COMPARISON OF THE INTENSITIES AND ENERGIES OF GRADUAL SOLAR ENERGETIC PARTICLE EVENTS WITH THE DYNAMICAL PROPERTIES OF ASSOCIATED CORONAL MASS EJECTIONS SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE acceleration of particles; Sun: coronal mass ejections (CMEs); Sun: flares; Sun: particle emission ID LARGE SEP EVENTS; INTERPLANETARY SHOCKS; SOHO OBSERVATIONS; PEAK INTENSITIES; DRIVEN SHOCKS; ACCELERATION; HELIOSPHERE; STEREO; EFFICIENT; SPECTRA AB Gradual solar energetic particle (SEP) events observed at 1 AU are produced by shocks driven by coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Characterizations of the remotely imaged CMEs and of their associated SEP events observed in situ can be used to increase our ability to forecast SEP events and to understand better the physical connections between the two phenomena. We carry out a statistical comparison of the peak intensities Ip20, of 120 western-hemisphere 20 MeV SEP events with those of their associated CMEs observed by the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory/Large Angle and Spectrometric Coronagraph over the past solar cycle. For a subset of 96 events observed with the EPACT instrument on the Wind spacecraft we also compare the SEP 2 MeV peak intensities Ip2, power-law energy spectral exponents gamma, total SEP energies Esep, and 2 MeV nuc(-1) H/He ratios with CME properties. New analyses of white-light CME images enable us to improve calculations of the CME masses and potential energies and then to determine two values of their kinetic energies based on frontal V (fr) and center-of-mass V (cm) speeds. Despite considerable scatter in the SEP and CME data, the large dynamical ranges of both the SEP and CME parameters allow us to determine statistical trends in the comparisons of the logs of the parameters. Ip2, Ip20, and Esep are significantly correlated with CME kinetic energies, masses, and speeds, while gamma trends lower (harder). Those correlations are higher with V (fr) than with V (cm) parameters, indicating a less significant role for the body of the CME than for the CME front in SEP production. The high ratios (>= 10%) of Esep to CME energies found by Mewaldt et al. are confirmed, and the fits are consistent with a linear relationship between the two energies. The 2 MeV nuc(-1) H/He ratios decrease with increasing CME speeds, which may be an effect of shock geometry. We discuss several factors that limit the estimates of both the SEP and CME energies.

For the cluster, we find an overall temperature of 6.4(-1.0)(+0.6) keV and an X-ray luminosity of 2.8 +/- 0.1 x 10(44) erg s(-1) between 0.5 and 2.0 keV. The Chandra observation reveals the cluster to be undergoing a merger event. The VLA observations show the presence of large-scale diffuse emission in the central region of the cluster, which we classify as a 0.9 Mpc size radio halo. In addition, a complex region of diffuse, polarized emission is found in the southeastern outskirts of the cluster along the projected merger axis of the system. We classify this region of diffuse emission as a radio relic. The total extent of this radio relic is 1.9 Mpc. For the combined emission in the cluster region, we find a radio spectral index of -1.0 +/- 0.1 between 74 MHz and 1.4 GHz. The morphology of the radio relic is peculiar, as the relic is broken up into five fragments. This suggests that the shock responsible for the relic has been broken up due to interaction with a large-scale galaxy filament connected to the cluster or other substructures in the intracluster medium. Alternatively, the complex morphology reflects the presence of electrons in fossil radio bubbles that are re-accelerated by a shock. C1 [van Weeren, R. J.; Fogarty, K.; Jones, C.; Forman, W.

TI Recreational technical diving part 1: an introduction to technical diving methods and activities SO DIVING AND HYPERBARIC MEDICINE LA English DT Review DE Technical diving; enriched air - nitrox; trimix; cave diving; wreck diving; rebreather; review article ID ENRICHED AIR NITROX; FATIGUE AB Technical divers use gases other than air and advanced equipment configurations to conduct dives that are deeper and/or longer than typical recreational air dives. The use of oxygen-nitrogen (nitrox) mixes with oxygen fractions higher than air results in longer no-decompression limits for shallow diving, and faster decompression from deeper dives. For depths beyond the air-diving range, technical divers mix helium, a light non-narcotic gas, with nitrogen and oxygen to produce 'trimix'. These blends are tailored to the depth of intended use with a fraction of oxygen calculated to produce an inspired oxygen partial pressure unlikely to cause cerebral oxygen toxicity and a nitrogen fraction calculated to produce a tolerable degree of nitrogen narcosis. A typical deep technical dive will involve the use of trimix at the target depth with changes to gases containing more oxygen and less inert gas during the decompression. Open-circuit scuba may be used to carry and utilise such gases, but this is very wasteful of expensive helium. There is increasing use of closed-circuit 'rebreather' devices. These recycle expired gas and potentially limit gas consumption to a small amount of inert gas to maintain the volume of the breathing circuit during descent and the amount of oxygen metabolised by the diver. This paper reviews the basic approach to planning and execution of dives using these methods to better inform physicians of the physical demands and risks.

Technical divers use decompression schedules generated from modified versions of decompression algorithms originally developed for other types of diving. Many modifications ostensibly produce shorter and/or safer decompression, but have generally been driven by anecdote. Scientific evidence relevant to many of these modifications exists, but is often difficult to locate. This review assembles and examines scientific evidence relevant to technical diving decompression practice. There is a widespread belief that bubble algorithms, which redistribute decompression in favour of deeper decompression stops, are more efficient than traditional, shallow-stop, gas-content algorithms, but recent laboratory data support the opposite view. It seems unlikely that switches from helium-to nitrogen-based breathing gases during ascent will accelerate decompression from typical technical bounce dives. However, there is evidence for a higher prevalence of neurological decompression sickness (DCS) after dives conducted breathing only helium-oxygen than those with nitrogen-oxygen. There is also weak evidence suggesting less neurological DCS occurs if helium-oxygen breathing gas is switched to air during decompression than if no switch is made. On the other hand, helium-to-nitrogen breathing gas switches are implicated in the development of inner-ear DCS arising during decompression. Inner-ear DCS is difficult to predict, but strategies to minimize the risk include adequate initial decompression, delaying helium-to-nitrogen switches until relatively shallow, and the use of the maximum safe fraction of inspired oxygen during decompression.

The current interest is in using a gaseous cryogen circulated by means of a cryogenic fan as the cooling media for the HTS conductor. Flow through this style of cable is through an eccentrically situated corrugated annular region. Correlations do not currently exist for this arrangement since it is not a simple configuration. Experiments were carried out to measure pressure drop with varied flow rate of air and nitrogen through 10-m sections of tubing. A variety of tubing configurations was used including smooth tube, eccentric smooth annulus, and eccentric corrugated annulus with HTS wire bundle forming the inner filling material. A method was developed for comparing the relative flow resistance of tubing configuration, which included determining an effective hydraulic diameter based on observed data set fit to the Darcy-Weisbach equation and the Colebrook equation. The effective hydraulic diameter allowed for easy comparison of flow impedance for all configurations regardless of specific flow conditions.

TI Comparison of Measured Ship Squat with Numerical and Empirical Methods SO JOURNAL OF SHIP RESEARCH LA English DT Article DE ship squat; numerical models; empirical formulas; ship measurements AB The Beck, Newman and Tuck (BNT) numerical predictions are used in the Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory (CHL) Channel Analysis and Design Evaluation Tool (CADET) model for predicting underkeel clearance (UKC) resulting from ship motions and squat. The Ankudinov empirical squat prediction formula has been used in the CHL ship simulator and was recently updated. The World Association for Waterborne Transport Infrastructure (formerly The Permanent International Association of Navigation Congresses, PIANC) has recommended several empirical and physics-based formulas for the prediction of ship squat. Some of the most widely used formulas include those of Barrass, Eryuzlu, Huuska, ICORELS, Romisch, Tuck, and Yoshimura. The purpose of this article is to compare BNT, Ankudinov, and PIANC predictions with measured DGPS squat data from the Panama Canal for four ships. These comparisons demonstrate that the BNT, Ankudinov, and PIANC predictions fall within the range of squat measurements and can be used with confidence in deep draft channel design.

TI Planing in Shallow Water at Critical Speed SO JOURNAL OF SHIP RESEARCH LA English DT Article DE shallow water; planing hull AB This article summarizes experiments to determine the effect of shallow water on flat-bottomed prismatic hulls towed fixed in heave and trim over a wide range of speed regimes. The experimental design allowed for the separate measurement of pressure forces normal to the bottom and viscous forces tangential to the bottom. The experiments showed that below a depth Froude number of unity (subcritical speeds), shallow water resulted in a reduction in pressure forces on the bottom of the hull. Around a depth Froude number of unity (critical speed), a solitary wave formed at the model, increasing the wetted length and also increasing the bottom pressure forces, which became unsteady. Above a depth Froude number of unity (supercritical speeds), the pressure forces on the bottom of the hull were greater in shallow water than in deep water. Observations of the inception of transom ventilation showed that full ventilation occurred at lower Froude numbers in shallow water and that trim has a strong effect on transom ventilation at all water depths. To assist in explaining these effects, each of the forces acting on a flat-bottomed hull are discussed and it is shown how they vary with speed and water depth. The observed trends from these fixed model tests are in qualitative agreement with experiments with free to trim and heave models as well as two-dimensional theories of planing in shallow water.

The significance of nonlinearities in the roll hydrodynamic forces for planing hulls was investigated with regard to roll amplitude, model speed, model displacement, and roll oscillation frequency. A wooden 20 degrees deadrise prismatic planing hull was tested at steady roll angles and in dynamic roll at various roll amplitudes and frequencies. Two displacements, three model speeds, three roll amplitudes, and four roll oscillation frequencies were tested. The measured wetted lengths, roll-restoring coefficient, roll-added inertia coefficient, and roll-damping coefficient are presented. The roll-restoring moment is found to be nonlinear with roll amplitude, the added inertia coefficient shows some dependence on model speed, and the roll-damping coefficient shows some amplitude dependence.

TI Processing advances for localization of beaked whales using time difference of arrival SO JOURNAL OF THE ACOUSTICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA LA English DT Article ID MESOPLODON-DENSIROSTRIS AB This paper is concerned with the localization of clicking Blainville's beaked whales (Mesoplodon densirostris) using an array of widely spaced bottom-mounted hydrophones. A set of signal and data processing advances are presented that together make reliable tracking a possibility. These advances include a species-specific detector, elimination of spurious time-difference-of-arrival (TDOA) estimates, improved tracking of TDOA estimates, positive association of TDOA estimates using different hydrophone pairs, and joint localization of multiple whales. A key innovation in three of these advances is the principle of click-matching. The methods are demonstrated using real data. C1 USN, Undersea Warfare Ctr, Newport, RI 02841 USA.

Attenuation was measured for CMEPs whose canal segments were shortened in 2-mm increments. The within-subjects design permitted illustration of the form of the function relating attenuation to canal segment length for individuals. Reduction of attenuation due to canal segment shortening was generally more pronounced for frequencies <= 1000 Hz. Some regions of the canal segments were more critical than others in maintaining attenuation. The relationship between comfort and canal segment length was not straightforward.

The yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti, and the Asian tiger mosquito, Ae. albopictus, have been responsible for epidemics of dengue in Hawaii. As one of the world's earliest locations to be invaded by both species, Hawaii's history is particularly relevant because both species are currently invading new areas worldwide and are implicated in outbreaks of emergent or reemergent pathogens such as dengue, chikungunya, and yellow fever. Here we analyze the historical records of mosquito introductions in order to understand the factors that have led to the current distribution of these 2 mosquitoes in the Hawaiian Islands.

Here, we demonstrate that the co-infusion of limited numbers of donor unfractionated BMCs with human amnion-derived multipotent progenitor cells (AMPs) 7 days post-allograft transplantation facilitates macrochimerism induction and graft tolerance in a mouse skin transplantation model. AMPs+BMCs co-infusion with minimal conditioning led to stable, mixed, multilineage lymphoid and myeloid macrochimerism, deletion of donor-reactive T cells, expansion of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) and long-term allograft survival (>300 days). Based on these findings, we speculate that AMPs maybe a pro-tolerogenic cellular therapeutic that could have clinical efficacy for both solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplant applications.

The ability to identify a bacteria or toxin rapidly in clinical samples is critical for administering the appropriate treatment. The microflow cytometer has previously demonstrated the ability to test for six bacteria and toxins simultaneously in buffer. In this study, the number of bacteria and toxins analyzed was increased to ten, positive and negative controls were incorporated in all assays, and most importantly, multiplexed immunoassays were demonstrated in clinical matrices. The multiplexed assays using the microflow cytometer demonstrated detection limits similar to or better than other reported antibody-based methods for pathogen detection (ELISA, lateral flow, array biosensors). In most cases, detection from complex clinical matrices (serum and nasal wash) achieved limits of detection equivalent to those for spiked buffer samples.

TI K-alpha emission spectroscopic analysis from a Cu Z-pinch SO HIGH ENERGY DENSITY PHYSICS LA English DT Article DE Non-LTE; Emission spectra; Z-pinch; K-alpha radiation ID DIELECTRONIC RECOMBINATION; RADIATION TRANSPORT; PLASMAS; LINE; SELENIUM; SPECTRA; PHYSICS; DENSE; FE AB Advances in diagnostic techniques at the Sandia Z-facility have facilitated the production of very detailed spectral data. In particular, data from the copper nested wire-array shot Z1975 provides a wealth of information about the implosion dynamics and ionization history of the pinch. Besides the dominant valence K- and L-shell lines in Z1975 spectra, K-alpha lines from various ionization stages were also observed. K-shell vacancies can be created from inner-shell excitation and ionization by hot electrons and from photo-ionization by high-energy photons; these vacancies are subsequently filled by Auger decay or resonance fluorescence. The latter process produces the K-alpha emission. For plasmas in collisional equilibrium, K-alpha emission usually occurs from highly charged ions due to the high electron temperatures required for appreciable excitation of the K-alpha transitions. Our simulation of Z1975 was carried out with the NRL 1-D DZAPP non-LTE radiation-hydrodynamics model, and the resulting K- and L-shell synthetic spectra are compared with measured radiation data. Our investigation will focus on K-alpha generation by both impacting electrons and photons. Synthetic K-alpha spectra will be generated either by self-consistently calculating the K-shell vacancy production in a full Z-pinch simulation, or by post-processing data from a simulation. The analysis of these K-alpha lines as well as K- and L-shell emission from valence electrons should provide quantitative information about the dynamics of the pinch plasma.

TI Tungsten L transition line shapes and energy shifts resulting from ionization in warm dense matter SO HIGH ENERGY DENSITY PHYSICS LA English DT Article DE Warm dense matter; Ionization distribution ID LASER-PRODUCED PLASMAS; RAY; SPECTROMETER AB Spectra of the W L transitions in the energy range 8-12 keV from warm dense plasmas generated by the Naval Research Laboratory's Gamble II pulsed power machine were recorded by a newly developed high-resolution transmission-crystal X-ray spectrometer with +/-2 eV accuracy. The discharges have up to 2 MV voltage, 0.5 MA current, and produce up to 2.4 MJ/cm(-3) energy density. The plasma-filled rod pinch (PFRP) diode produces a plasma with N-e approximate to 10(22) cm(-3) and T-e approximate to 50 eV during the time of maximum X-ray emission. By analyzing the line shapes, it was determined that the L beta(2) inner-shell transition from the 4d(5/2) level was shifted to higher energy by up to 23 eV relative to nearby L beta transitions from n = 3 levels. In addition, the L beta(2) transition was significantly broader and asymmetric compared to the n = 3 transitions. The energy shift of the L beta(2) transition results from the ionization of electrons outside the 4d shell that perturbs the transition energies in the ions to higher values. The increased line width and asymmetry result from unresolved transitions from a range of ionization states up to +28. The ionization distribution was determined by comparison of the measured energy shifts and widths to calculated transition energies in W ions, and the ionization was correlated with Gamble discharge parameters such as the anode type and the high voltage delay time. This work demonstrates a new hard X-ray spectroscopic diagnostic technique for the direct measurement of the ionization distribution in warm dense plasmas of the heavy elements W through U that is independent of the other plasma parameters and does not require interpretation by hydrodynamic, atomic kinetics, and radiative simulation codes.

On the intraseasonal time scale, the MJO appears to force the annular modes in both hemispheres. On this scale, during the cold season, the convection in the Indian Ocean precedes the increase of the AO/AAO. Interestingly, during the boreal winter (Southern Hemisphere warm season), strong MJOs in the Indian Ocean are related to a decrease of the AAO index, and AO/AAO tendencies are out of phase. On the longer time scales, a persistent AO/AAO anomaly appears to influence the convection in the tropical belt and impact the distribution of MJO-preferred phases. It is shown that this may be a result of the sea surface temperature (SST) changes related to a persistent AO, with cooling over the Indian Ocean and warming over Indonesia. In the Southern Hemisphere, the SST anomalies are to some extent also related to a persistent AAO pattern, but this relationship is much weaker and appears only during the Southern Hemisphere cold season. On the basis of these results, a mechanism involving the air-sea interaction in the tropics is suggested as a possible link between persistent AO and convective activity in the Indian Ocean and western Pacific.

TI Ensemble Data Assimilation to Characterize Surface-Layer Errors in Numerical Weather Prediction Models SO MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW LA English DT Article ID ATMOSPHERE COUPLING EXPERIMENT; MESOSCALE ETA-MODEL; KALMAN FILTER; PART I; CLOUD MODEL; FLUXES; STATE; PARAMETERIZATIONS; SENSITIVITY; PBL AB Experiments with the single-column implementation of the Weather Research and Forecasting Model provide a basis for deducing land-atmosphere coupling errors in the model. Coupling occurs both through heat and moisture fluxes through the land-atmosphere interface and roughness sublayer, and turbulent heat, moisture, and momentum fluxes through the atmospheric surface layer. This work primarily addresses the turbulent fluxes, which are parameterized following the Monin-Obukhov similarity theory applied to the atmospheric surface layer. By combining ensemble data assimilation and parameter estimation, the model error can be characterized. Ensemble data assimilation of 2-m temperature and water vapor mixing ratio, and 10-m wind components, forces the model to follow observations during a month-long simulation for a column over the well-instrumented Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Central Facility near Lamont, Oklahoma. One-hour errors in predicted observations are systematically small but nonzero, and the systematic errors measure bias as a function of local time of day. Analysis increments for state elements nearby (15 m AGL) can be too small or have the wrong sign, indicating systematically biased covariances and model error. Experiments using the ensemble filter to objectively estimate a parameter controlling the thermal land-atmosphere coupling show that the parameter adapts to offset the model errors, but that the errors cannot be eliminated. Results suggest either structural errors or further parametric errors that may be difficult to estimate. Experiments omitting atypical observations such as soil and flux measurements lead to qualitatively similar deductions, showing the potential for assimilating common in situ observations as an inexpensive framework for deducing and isolating model errors.

A global climatology of these baroclinically influenced TC developments is presented in this study. An objective classification strategy is developed that focuses on the characteristics of the environmental state rather than on properties of the vortex, thus allowing for a pointwise "development pathway'' classification of reanalysis data. The resulting climatology shows that variability within basins arises primarily as a result of local surface thermal contrasts and the positions of time-mean features on the subtropical tropopause. The pathway analyses are sampled to generate a global climatology of 1948-2010 TC developments classified by baroclinic influence: nonbaroclinic (70%), low-level baroclinic (9%), trough induced (5%), weak tropical transition (11%), and strong tropical transition (5%). All basins other than the North Atlantic are dominated by nonbaroclinic events; however, there is extensive interbasin variability in secondary development pathways. Within each basin, subregions and time periods are identified in which the relative importance of the development pathways also differs. The efficiency of tropical cyclogenesis is found to be highly dependent on development pathway. The peak efficiency defined in the classification subspace straddles the nonbaroclinic/trough-induced boundary, suggesting that the optimal environment for TC development includes a baroclinic contribution from an upper-level disturbance. By assessing the global distribution of baroclinically influenced TC formations, this study identifies regions and pathways whose further study could yield improvements in our understanding of this important subset of TC developments.

TI A Comparison of South American and African Preferential Pathways for Extreme Cold Events SO MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW LA English DT Article ID ROCKY-MOUNTAINS; AIR INCURSIONS; SURGES; EVOLUTION; EAST; DYNAMICS; BLOCKING; IMPACTS; CLIMATE; MEXICO AB In the Southern Hemisphere, a relatively well-known preferential pathway along which cold air surges equatorward is situated to the east of the Andes Mountains. In this study, a second preferred pathway is identified to the east of the African Highlands, with additional minor pathways identified east of the Brazilian Highlands and Madagascar. The primary objective of this study is to compare climatological and synoptic characteristics of extreme cold events (ECEs) along the Andes and African Highlands pathways. ECEs are defined as the top 1% coldest 925-hPa temperatures within the Andes and the African Highlands pathways using the 1977-2001 subset of the 2.5 degrees x 2.5 degrees 40-yr European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) Re-Analysis (ERA-40). ECEs within the Andes and African Highlands pathways are associated with dynamically forced anticyclogenesis and have low-level characteristics that vary substantially. Along the Andes pathway, ECEs feature 925-hPa temperatures as much as 17 degrees C below normal, with 925-hPa southerly winds ranging from 0 to 10 m s(-1) and 925-700-hPa lapse rates as low as -3 degrees C km(-1). In contrast, ECEs along the African Highlands pathway feature 925-hPa temperatures up to 10 degrees C below normal, with 925-hPa southerly winds ranging from 5 to 15 m s(-1), and 925-700-hPa lapse rates generally between 28 and 5 degrees C km(-1). Composite analyses reveal that despite stronger southerly winds, ECEs along the African Highlands pathway are typically not as cold or stable as those along the Andes pathway because cold air from Antarctica must traverse a longer distance over water to reach Africa.

TI Exchange bias of the interface spin system at the Fe/MgO interface SO NATURE NANOTECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article ID OPTICAL 2ND-HARMONIC GENERATION; ROOM-TEMPERATURE; MAGNETIC-ANISOTROPY; ELECTRIC CONTROL; SURFACE; FILMS; FEO; MAGNETORESISTANCE; POLARIZATION; SPECTROSCOPY AB The ferromagnet/oxide interface is key to developing emerging multiferroic and spintronic technologies with new functionality. Here we probe the Fe/MgO interface magnetization, and identify a new exchange bias phenomenon manifested only in the interface spin system, and not in the bulk. The interface magnetization exhibits a pronounced exchange bias, and the hysteresis loop is shifted entirely to one side of the zero field axis. However, the bulk magnetization does not, in marked contrast to typical systems where exchange bias is manifested in the net magnetization. This reveals the existence of an antiferromagnetic exchange pinning layer at the interface, identified here as FeO patches that exist even for a nominally 'clean' interface. These results demonstrate that atomic moments at the interface are non-collinear with the bulk magnetization, and therefore may affect the net anisotropy or serve as spin scattering sites. We control the exchange bias magnitude by varying the interface oxygen concentration and Fe-O bonding. C1 [Fan, Y.; Smith, K.

TI Zoonotic Surveillance for Rickettsiae in Domestic Animals in Kenya SO VECTOR-BORNE AND ZOONOTIC DISEASES LA English DT Article DE Rickettsiae in Kenya; Zoonosis; Ticks; Domestic animals; Abattoir ID SPOTTED-FEVER GROUP; TICK BITE FEVER; PHYLOGENETIC ANALYSIS; SOUTH-AFRICA; SP-NOV; INFECTIONS; DISEASES; IDENTIFICATION; AESCHLIMANNII; ANDEANAE AB Rickettsiae are obligate intracellular bacteria that cause zoonotic and human diseases. Arthropod vectors, such as fleas, mites, ticks, and lice, transmit rickettsiae to vertebrates during blood meals. In humans, the disease can be life threatening. This study was conducted amidst rising reports of rickettsioses among travelers to Kenya. Ticks and whole blood were collected from domestic animals presented for slaughter at major slaughterhouses in Nairobi and Mombasa that receive animals from nearly all counties in the country. Blood samples and ticks were collected from 1019 cattle, 379 goats, and 299 sheep and were screened for rickettsiae by a quantitative PCR (qPCR) assay (Rick17b) using primers and probe that target the genus-specific 17-kD gene (htrA). The ticks were identified using standard taxonomic keys. All Rick17b-positive tick DNA samples were amplified and sequenced with primers sets that target rickettsial outer membrane protein genes (ompA and ompB) and the citrate-synthase encoding gene (gltA). Using the Rick17b qPCR, rickettsial infections in domestic animals were found in 25/32 counties sampled (78.1% prevalence). Infection rates were comparable in cattle (16.3%) and sheep (15.1%) but were lower in goats (7.1%). Of the 596 ticks collected, 139 had rickettsiae (23.3%), and the detection rates were highest in Amblyomma (62.3%; n = 104), then Rhipicephalus (45.5%; n = 120), Hyalomma (35.9%; n = 28), and Boophilus (34.9%; n = 30). Following sequencing, 104 out of the 139 Rick17b-positive tick DNA had good reverse and forward sequences for the 3 target genes. On querying GenBank with the generated consensus sequences, homologies of 92-100% for the following spotted fever group (SFG) rickettsiae were identified: Rickettsia africae (93.%, n = 97), Rickettsia aeschlimannii (1.9%, n = 2), Rickettsia mongolotimonae (0.96%, n = 1), Rickettsia conorii subsp. israelensis (0.96%, n = 1), Candidatus Rickettsia kulagini (0.96% n = 1), and Rickettsia spp. (1.9% n = 2). In conclusion, molecular methods were used in this study to detect and identify rickettsial infections in domestic animals and ticks throughout Kenya.

Efficacy studies in murine and nonhuman primate models demonstrated the DNA vaccine candidate pKarp47, based upon the O. tsutsugamushi Karp 47-kD HtrA protein gene, to be a successful immunoprophylactic against scrub typhus. To characterize 47-kD HtrA protein diversity among human isolates of Orientia, we sequenced the full open reading frame (ORF) of the 47-kD HtrA gene and analyzed the translated amino acid sequences of 17 patient isolates from Thailand (n = 13), Laos (n = 2), Australia (n = 1), and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) (n = 1) and 9 reference strains: Karp (New Guinea), Kato (Japan), Ikeda (Japan), Gilliam (Burma), Boryong (Korea), TA763, TH1811 and TH1817 (Thailand), and MAK243 (China). The percentage identity (similarity) of translated amino acid sequences between 16 new isolates and 9 reference strains of O. tsutsugamushi ranged from 96.4% to 100% (97.4% to 100%). However, inclusion of the recently identified Orientia chuto sp. nov. reduced identity (similarity) values to 82.2% to 83.3% (90.4% to 91.4%). These results demonstrate the diversity of Orientia 47-kD HtrA among isolates encountered by humans and therefore provide support for the necessity of developing a broadly protective scrub typhus vaccine that takes this diversity into account.

CA NIMH Collaborative HIV STD TI Relationship Between Alcohol Consumption Prior to Sex, Unprotected Sex and Prevalence of STI/HIV Among Socially Marginalized Men in Three Coastal Cities of Peru SO AIDS AND BEHAVIOR LA English DT Article DE Alcohol consumption; Sexual risk behavior; Unprotected sex; Sexually transmitted diseases; Human immunodeficiency virus; Marginalized population ID SEXUALLY-TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS; TOWN SOUTH-AFRICA; CAPE-TOWN; CLINIC PATIENTS; GENDER-DIFFERENCES; LOW-INCOME; HIGH-RISK; SENSATION SEEKING; HIV-1 INFECTION; PUBLIC-HEALTH AB This article presents data about the relationship between alcohol consumption prior to sex and unprotected sex and the prevalence of at least one sexually transmitted infection (STI) including HIV among socially marginalized men in three coastal Peruvians cities. During an epidemiological survey with 2,146 men, we assessed their STI prevalence, frequency of alcohol consumption prior to sex, unprotected sex and other sexual risk behaviors. The overall prevalence of at least one STI/HIV was 8.5 % (95 % CI 7.3-9.7), the prevalence of unprotected sex was 79.1 % (95 % CI 77.8-80.3) and alcohol consumption prior to sex with any of the last five sex partners in the previous 6 months was 68.9 % (95 % CI 66.9-70.9). Bivariate and multivariate analysis showed that alcohol consumption of participants or their partners prior to sex were associated with the prevalence of at least one STI, adjusted Prevalence Ratio (aPR) = 1.3 (95 % CI 1.01-1.68). Unprotected sex was significantly associated with alcohol consumption prior to sex when both partners used alcohol, aPR = 1.15 (95 % CI 1.10-1.20) or when either one of them used alcohol aPR = 1.14 (95 % CI 1.09-1.18). These findings concur with previous literature suggesting a relationship between alcohol consumption prior to sex and STI and HIV. These data improve our understanding of this relationship in this context and could be used to enhance STI and HIV prevention strategies for socially marginalized men in Peru.

Overall prevalence was 2.6 % (95 % CI: 1.84-3.66); personnel who were divorced, separated or widowed, served a parts per thousand yen6 years, never deployed, uncircumcised, reported STI symptoms, had a parts per thousand yen6 lifetime sex partners, or screened positive for harmful alcohol use (via Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test) had higher HIV prevalence. Ever being divorced, separated or widowed (OR = 29.8; 95 % CI: 5.5-159.9), and STI symptoms (OR = 3.4; 95 % CI: 1.5-7.6) were significantly associated with infection, after multivariable adjustment, while circumcision was protective (OR = 0.4; 95 % CI: 0.2-0.9). Despite mobility and other factors that uniquely influence HIV transmission in militaries, RDF prevalence was similar to the general population. A reason for this finding may be conservative sexual behavior combined with effective leadership-supported prevention programs. Data suggest a concentrated rather than generalized epidemic, with targets identified for intervention.

TI INVESTIGATING TWO SUCCESSIVE FLUX ROPE ERUPTIONS IN A SOLAR ACTIVE REGION SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LETTERS LA English DT Article DE Sun: corona; Sun: coronal mass ejections (CMEs); Sun: flares; Sun: magnetic topology ID CORONAL MASS EJECTIONS; FORCE-FREE FIELDS; MAGNETIC-FIELD; TORUS INSTABILITY; FLARES; EVOLUTION; MODEL; ONSET; ACCELERATION; MECHANISMS AB We investigate two successive flux rope (FR1 and FR2) eruptions resulting in two coronal mass ejections (CMEs) on 2012 January 23. Both flux ropes (FRs) appeared as an EUV channel structure in the images of high temperature passbands of the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly prior to the CME eruption. Through fitting their height evolution with a function consisting of linear and exponential components, we determine the onset time of the FR impulsive acceleration with high temporal accuracy for the first time. Using this onset time, we divide the evolution of the FRs in the low corona into two phases: a slow rise phase and an impulsive acceleration phase. In the slow rise phase of FR1, the appearance of sporadic EUV and UV brightening and the strong shearing along the polarity inverse line indicates that the quasi-separatrix-layer reconnection likely initiates the slow rise. On the other hand, for FR2, we mainly contribute its slow rise to the FR1 eruption, which partially opened the overlying field and thus decreased the magnetic restriction. At the onset of the impulsive acceleration phase, FR1 (FR2) reaches the critical height of 84.4 +/- 11.2 Mm (86.2 +/- 13.0 Mm) where the decline of the overlying field with height is fast enough to trigger the torus instability. After a very short interval (similar to 2 minutes), the flare emission began to enhance. These results reveal the compound activity involving multiple magnetic FRs and further suggest that the ideal torus instability probably plays the essential role of initiating the impulsive acceleration of CMEs.

TI Capacity Growth of Heterogeneous Cellular Networks SO BELL LABS TECHNICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article AB Heterogeneous cellular networks are composed of a mixture of macro and small (pico) cells embedded in the macro network. We assume uniform traffic for simplicity, and study the scaling of area spectral efficiencies (ASEs) as pico densities are increased, optimizing over transmit power and cell association bias. We found that median ASE grows linearly with the number of picos, with a slope as low as one, i.e., only one picocell per macro sector is necessary to double median ASE. The pico must be placed intelligently rather than randomly, and needs only transmit at -20 dB power equivalent isotropic radiated power (EIRP) relative to the macro. The effectiveness of the pico at such low power is due in part to the improvement in area coverage of an omnidirectional versus a three-sectored antenna. As pico density increases five percentile, signal-to-noise and interference ratio (SINR) decreases, causing poor scaling of edge rates. However, cell association bias was found to be an effective means of restoring the otherwise poor scaling of fifth percentile rates. (C) 2013 Alcatel-Lucent.

Patients and Methods We conducted a multi-institutional retrospective analysis of 322 PNs performed between 2003 and 2011. The RENAL nephrometry score for each lesion was determined and the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated preoperatively and at last follow-up. We divided patients into two RENAL nephrometry score groups, low (<8) and high (8), and analysed and compared the outcomes of each group. The primary outcome was median change in eGFR between preoperative and last follow-up (eGFR). The secondary outcome was eGFR <60mL/min/1.73m2 at last follow-up. Multivariable analysis was conducted to evaluate the risk factors for eGFR <60mL/min/1.73m2 at last follow-up. Results The median (interquartile range) follow-up was 25.2 (13.5-39.3) months. Low (n = 165) and high (n = 157) RENAL score groups were well-matched for baseline eGFR. The median tumour size (4.2 vs 2.4cm, P < 0.001) was greater for the high group. In all, 64% of the low and 88.2% of the high RENAL score group (P < 0.001) had decreased eGFR at last follow-up. Median eGFR was -7 for the low vs -13.8mL/min/1.73m2 for the high group (P = 0.001); eGFR <60mL/min/1.73m2 at last follow-up was 27.3% for the low vs 37.6% for the high group (P = 0.057). Linear regression analysis showed that for each 1-point increase in RENAL score, there was 2.5% decrease in eGFR (P = 0.002); for each 1-cm increase in tumour size, there was 1.8% decrease in eGFR (P = 0.013). Area under curve analyses showed no significant difference between RENAL score and tumour size for prediction of de novoeGFR <60mL/min/1.73m2 (P = 0.920) and eGFR 50% (P = 0.85). Multivariable analysis showed that increasing RENAL score (odds ratio [OR] 1.24, P = 0.046) and decreasing preoperative eGFR (OR 1.10, P < 0.001) were risk factors for eGFR <60mL/min/1.73m2 at last follow-up. Conclusions Increasing RENAL nephrometry score is an independent risk factor for eGFR <60mL/min/1.73m2 after PN. RENAL nephrometry score may serve as an additional measure for risk stratification before PN, but further investigation is required.

TI Contribution of serum ethanol concentration to the osmol gap: a prospective volunteer study SO CLINICAL TOXICOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Osmol gap; Ethanol; Intoxication ID FORMULA; INTOXICATION; VALIDATION; CALCULATE AB Background. The contribution of ethanol ([EtOH]) to the osmol gap (OG) is commonly described by the formula [EtOH (mg/dL)]/k, where k is assumed to be 4.6 (one-tenth of its molecular weight) if ethanol behaves ideally in solution. However, several studies on convenience samples of patients suggest that ethanol does not behave ideally and that k may be significantly different from this ideal constant. Objectives. To determine prospectively the relationship between serum ethanol concentration and total serum osmolality in a group of healthy volunteers. Methods. Experimental subjects ingested 20 mL of 100% ethanol diluted in sugar-free soda at a rate of one drink every 10 min, up to a maximum of seven drinks. Control subjects ingested 20 mL of water diluted in sugar-free soda at the same rate. Blood samples were obtained at baseline and then at every 20 min for 180 min to measure serum [EtOH] concentration, electrolytes, glucose, and osmolality (via freezing-point depression). The OG was calculated by subtracting predicted osmolality from measured osmolality. The OG was then divided by [EtOH] to determine the coefficient of ethanol's contribution to total serum osmolality. Results. A total of 10 volunteers (five men and five women; mean age, 38.8 years, and range, 28-49 years) participated in and completed the study. Eight (four male and four female) were in the experimental group, and two (one male and one female) were in the control group. Mean peak [EtOH] was 229 mg/dL (median, 223.5 mg/dL; IQR, 171-273 mg/dL) and a linear relationship between [EtOH] and OG (Pearson coefficient of 0.98) was found. Using covariate correction for each subject's baseline OG, k was calculated to be 4.25 (95% CI, 4.13-4.38) averaged over all participants. Conclusions. In this volunteer study, the coefficient describing the contribution of ethanol to serum osmolality (k) was found to be 4.25. This indicates that ethanol contributes more to total serum osmolality than would be predicted for an ideal solute. C1 [Carstairs, S. D.; Tanen, D.

The computations are performed using CFDShip-Iowa v4, a free surface solver designed for 6DOF motions in free and semi-captive problems. Overset grids and a hierarchy of bodies allow the deflection of the rudders while the ship undergoes 6DOF motions. Two types of maneuvers are simulated: steady turn and zigzag. Simulations of steady turn at 35A degrees rudder deflection and zigzag 20/20 maneuvers for Fr = 0.25 and 0.41 using constant RPM propulsion are benchmarked against experimental time histories of yaw, yaw rate and roll, and trajectories, and also compared against available integral variables. Differences between CFD and experiments are mostly within 10 % for both maneuvers, highly satisfactory given the degree of complexity of these computations. Simulations are performed also with waves, and with propulsion at either constant RPM or torque. 20/20 zigzag maneuvers are simulated at model and full scale for Fr = 0.41. The full scale case produces a thinner boundary layer profile compared to the model scale with different reaction times and handling needed for maneuvering. Results indicate that URANS computations of maneuvers are feasible, though issues regarding adequate modeling of propellers remain to be solved.

TI A Modeling Study of Stratospheric Waves over the Southern Andes and Drake Passage SO JOURNAL OF THE ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES LA English DT Article ID RAY-TRACING MODEL; GRAVITY-WAVE; MOUNTAIN WAVES; NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS; MIDDLE ATMOSPHERE; RADIOSONDE OBSERVATIONS; MOMENTUM FLUX; POLAR VORTEX; MESOSCALE; PROPAGATION AB Large-amplitude stratospheric gravity waves over the southern Andes and Drake Passage, as observed by the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) on 8-9 August 2010, are modeled and studied using a deep (0-70 km) version of the Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System (COAMPS) model. The simulated tropospheric waves are generated by flow over the high central Andes ridge and the Patagonian peaks in the southern Andes. Some waves emanating from Patagonia propagate southeastward across Drake Passage into the stratosphere over a horizontal distance of more than 1000 km. The wave momentum flux is characterized by a tropospheric maximum over Patagonia that splits into two comparable maxima in the stratosphere: one located directly over the terrain and the other tilting southward with altitude. Using spatial ray-tracing techniques and flow conditions derived from the numerical simulation, the authors find that waves that originate from the high ridge in the Central Andes are absorbed by a critical level in the lower stratosphere. The three-dimensional waves originating from Patagonia could be separated into three families-namely, a northeast-propagating family, which is absorbed by a critical level between 15 and 20 km; a localized family, which breaks down in the stratosphere and lower mesosphere directly above Patagonia; and a southeast-propagating family, which forms the observed linear stratospheric wave patterns oriented across Drake Passage. The southward group propagation, assisted by lateral wave refraction due to persistent meridional shear of the zonal winds, leads to stratospheric wave breaking and drag near 60 degrees S, well south of the parent orography.

TI A small unmanned aerial system (UAS) for coastal atmospheric research: preliminary results from New Zealand SO JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF NEW ZEALAND LA English DT Article DE UAS; UAV; coastal atmosphere; intercomparison; radiosonde; temperature; humidity; marine meteorology; New Zealand ID AIRCRAFT; AEROSONDE AB Experiments conducted in the low-altitude coastal atmosphere in New Zealand have demonstrated the potential of a new unmanned aerial system (UAS) for meteorological research. The Kahu unmanned aerial vehicle flies autonomously using GPS and pre-programmed waypoints, collecting observations of air temperature and relative humidity that are relayed to a ground-station near-instantaneously. Experiments conducted in the Hauraki Gulf, Auckland, show that the Kahu's radio transmission system can successfully transmit data across the ocean surface at distances up to 25 km. Accuracy of the meteorological data collected by the UAS was assessed via a direct comparison with weather station sensors and radiosonde soundings at heights of up to 500 m in the Bay of Plenty. Close agreement between the UAS, radiosonde and weather station data suggests that the Kahu UAS has considerable scope as a new field research tool in New Zealand, capable of providing reliable atmospheric data that can complement and even supplement conventional low-altitude sampling techniques.

Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected longitudinal data of 492 RALPs performed by a single surgeon (Kane) over a 5-year period. Patients are subdivided into three treatment groups: 54 EPLND; 231 SPLND; and 207 non-PLND. Indications for EPLND include Gleason score a parts per thousand yen8, PSA a parts per thousand yen10 ng/mL, and higher D'Amico risk group. Patient demographics, perioperative complications, and short-term oncologic outcomes are compared. Patients who underwent EPLND had higher-risk prostate cancer as evidenced by higher mean PSA (8.5 ng/mL), biopsy Gleason sum (a parts per thousand yen8) (57.7 %), and D'Amico risk group (75.9 %), compared to SPLND and/or non-PLND groups (p a parts per thousand currency sign 0.001). The EPLND total lymph node yield was similar compared to SPLND (20 vs. 18; p = 0.070). When the EPLND (n = 41) and SPLND (n = 57) were examined among only high-risk patients, the lymph node (IQR) yields [20 (14-29) vs. 17 (12-23)] and the proportion of positive nodes [29.3 % (12/41) vs. 12.3 % (7/57)] differed significantly (p = 0.048 and p = 0.042, respectively). Complication rates for all groups were similar and lymphocele formation was 5 %; 2.5 % were clinically significant. Robotic PLND can be performed with nodal yield comparable to open or laparoscopic PLND. Robotic EPLND improves nodal yield and the proportion of high-risk patients with nodal metastases recognized. Robotic PLND is associated with an approximately 5 % lymphocele rate. There is no difference in complications between EPLND and SPLND.

TI REMUS100 AUV with an integrated microfluidic system for explosives detection SO ANALYTICAL AND BIOANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY LA English DT Article DE Remote sensing; Explosives; Microfluidics; Autonomous underwater vehicles; Displacement-based immunoassay ID UNDERWATER; 2,4,6-TRINITROTOLUENE AB Quantitating explosive materials at trace concentrations in real-time on-site within the marine environment may prove critical to protecting civilians, waterways, and military personnel during this era of increased threat of widespread terroristic activity. Presented herein are results from recent field trials that demonstrate detection and quantitation of small nitroaromatic molecules using novel high-throughput microfluidic immunosensors (HTMI) to perform displacement-based immunoassays onboard a HYDROID REMUS100 autonomous underwater vehicle. Missions were conducted 2-3 m above the sea floor, and no HTMI failures were observed due to clogging from biomass infiltration. Additionally, no device leaks were observed during the trials. HTMIs maintained immunoassay functionality during 2 h deployments, while continuously sampling seawater absent without any pretreatment at a flow rate of 2 mL/min. This 20-fold increase in the nominal flow rate of the assay resulted in an order of magnitude reduction in both lag and assay times. Contaminated seawater that contained 20-175 ppb trinitrotoluene was analyzed.

TI Generation of transparent conductive electrodes by laser consolidation of LIFT printed ITO nanoparticle layers SO APPLIED PHYSICS A-MATERIALS SCIENCE & PROCESSING LA English DT Article ID OXIDE THIN-FILMS; LOW-TEMPERATURE; FABRICATION AB Indium tin oxide (ITO) is one of the few materials available that display a high transparency in the visible wavelength region and at the same time can conduct electrical currents. Thus it is widespread in many optoelectronic applications such as displays or solar cells. Layers of this material are commonly deposited by vacuum deposition methods which are not compatible with inexpensive production methods such as roll-to-roll processing or printed electronics in general. In this work, we demonstrate the generation of arbitrarily shaped ITO layers by laser induced forward transfer of ITO nanoparticles. The transferred particle ink volumes range in the sub picoliter regime. Feature sizes as small as 20 mu m are produced without any outward flow or "coffee-stain" effects. Furthermore, the feasibility of excimer laser consolidation of these nanoparticulate layers in ambient air for the generation of dense ITO films is shown. Conductivities of over 4000 Omega(-1) m(-1) were achieved. The presented methods are a promising alternative for the generation of transparent conducting layers for the inexpensive production of optoelectronics.

TI Development and Performance of New Gadolinium and Boron Containing Radiation-Absorbing Composite Systems SO JOM LA English DT Article AB The theoretical design and the experimental design and development of multifunctional radiation-absorbing composite material systems based on gadolinium, boron, and tungsten has been carried out. Based on theoretical calculations, the effective compositions of these composite subsystems were established for the enhanced absorption of neutron and gamma irradiation in various energy spectra. In addition, the systems and systems compositions were designed and processed for enhanced multifunctional performance. Selected and optimized compositions of Gd-B-W system were densified by shock wave consolidation technology. The technological parameters for the explosive consolidation processes and the structure-properties relationships are presented and discussed. The radiation-absorbing properties of the bulk samples were investigated and measured under neutron and gamma irradiation. The theoretical design and the optimization of these composite systems were carried out by the Monte Carlo method with a GEANT 3 program, which contained a special GCALOR package for the simulation of the interaction of thermal and fast neutrons with the composite material systems. During the neutron passage through the samples, the main processes of the interaction of neutrons with matter were considered including elastic and inelastic scattering, neutron fission of nuclei, and radiation capture. The attenuation factor of the irradiation flux is determined as a criterion of efficiency of radiation absorption. For the energy of 0.025 eV (thermal neutrons), gadolinium-containing composites have the maximum absorption capability. In the range of energy spectrum from 1 eV to 10 eV, the boron-containing composites have better absorption performance. For the capture of neutrons in wide energy spectrum, the (n, gamma) reaction takes place and tungsten provides enhanced absorption of radiation. In the presence of mixed radiation sources (neutron and gamma quanta), the boron- and gadolinium-containing composite materials prepared on the tungsten basis have the best performance. In addition to enhanced radiation absorption properties, these composite systems show also enhancement on other properties such as corrosion resistance in aggressive media. C1 [Chikhradze, N.

Potential innovators decide which technologies to develop after considering available factors of production, and individuals decide the quality and quantity of their children after considering available technologies. This interaction allows us to evaluate potentially divergent development paths. We find that unskilled labor-biased technological growth can induce higher fertility and lower education, exerting downward pressure on growth in per-person income. Despite this, for most plausible developing-country scenarios, unskilled intensive growth produces more per-person income than skill-intensive growth. This result is robust to a variety of growth modeling assumptions. C1 [Rahman, Ahmed S.] USN Acad, Annapolis, MD 21402 USA.

The control problem aims to minimize the expected computational cost to obtain a near-optimal solution of a stochastic program and is solved approximately using dynamic programming. The optimal-control problem depends on unknown parameters such as rate of convergence, computational cost per iteration, and sampling error. Hence, we implement the approach within a receding-horizon framework where parameters are estimated and the optimal-control problem is solved repeatedly during the calculations of a VSAA algorithm. The resulting sample-size selection policy consistently produces near-optimal solutions in short computing times as compared to other plausible policies in several numerical examples.

Craven, Ryan M. Yu, Lu Brooks, Richard R. Griffin, Christopher TI A Normalized Statistical Metric Space for Hidden Markov Models SO IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON CYBERNETICS LA English DT Article DE HiddenMarkov models (HMMs); model comparison; model similarity ID SPEECH RECOGNITION AB In this paper, we present a normalized statistical metric space for hidden Markov models (HMMs). HMMs are widely used to model real-world systems. Like graph matching, some previous approaches compare HMMs by evaluating the correspondence, or goodness of match, between every pair of states, concentrating on the structure of the models instead of the statistics of the process being observed. To remedy this, we present a new metric space that compares the statistics of HMMs within a given level of statistical significance. Compared with the Kullback-Leibler divergence, which is another widely used approach for measuring model similarity, our approach is a true metric, can always return an appropriate distance value, and provides a confidence measure on the metric value. Experimental results are given for a sample application, which quantify the similarity of HMMs of network traffic in the Tor anonymization system. This application is interesting since it considers models extracted from a system that is intentionally trying to obfuscate its internal workings. In the conclusion, we discuss applications in less-challenging domains, such as data mining.

Robot self-noise or ego noise, echoes and reverberation, and human interference are all common sources of decreased intelligibility. Moreover, in real-world settings, these problems are routinely aggravated by a variety of sources of background noise. Military scenarios can be punctuated by high decibel noise from materiel and weaponry that would easily overwhelm a robot's normal speaking volume. Moreover, in nonmilitary settings, fans, computers, alarms, and transportation noise can cause enough interference to make a traditional speech interface unusable. This work presents and evaluates a prototype robotic interface that uses perspective taking to estimate the effectiveness of its own speech presentation and takes steps to improve intelligibility for human listeners.

TI Inverse Thermal Analysis of Heat-Affected Zone in Al2129 and Al2198 Laser Welds SO JOURNAL OF MATERIALS ENGINEERING AND PERFORMANCE LA English DT Article DE joining; modeling processes; welding AB Case study analyses of A12139 and Al2198 laser welds are presented. These analyses demonstrate the concept of constructing parameter spaces for prediction of properties within the heat-affected zone (HAZ) of welds using inverse modeling, which are in turn for process control. The construction of these parameter spaces consists of two procedures. One procedure entails calculation of a parameterized set of temperature histories by inverse analysis of the heat deposition occurring during welding. The other procedure entails correlating these temperature histories with a specific physical property of the weld that is measurable. The analyses presented here examines some characteristics of inverse modeling with respect to the prediction of hardness within the HAZ for deep penetration laser welding of the Aluminum alloys A12139 and Al2198. This study further demonstrates the feasibility of constructing a parameter space for the prediction of weld properties using weld cross section measurements that are independent of weld process conditions.

Methods Former US active duty military service members participating in the Millennium Cohort Study, a population-based sample of US military personnel that began in July of 2001, were prospectively followed from the time of baseline health reporting to self-reported employment status after military separation. Results Of the 9099 separated personnel meeting inclusion criteria, 17% reported unemployment after military service. In multivariable modelling, prior deployment experiences, with or without reported combat, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) were not significantly associated with employment status postservice. Among those who routinely retired from service with a pension, positive screens for depression (OR, 1.67; 95% CI, 1.05 to 2.63) and panic/anxiety (OR, 1.63; 95% CI, 1.10 to 2.43) were significantly associated with subsequent unemployment. Poor physical health, female sex, black race, lower education and disabling illnesses/injuries were also predictive of postservice unemployment. Conclusions After stratifying for reason for military separation, mental disorders like depression or panic/anxiety and poor physical health may have greater impact than prior deployment experiences or PTSD on the ability to find or maintain employment postservice. These findings may guide support for veterans most in need of job placement services after military service.

This article analyzes security provision by the armed forces for paying clients-especially private companies in extractive industries-in accordance with negotiations between clients and commanders of the local military units that directly provide the security. The analysis identifies two paths toward local military-client relations. First, weak state capacity may mean that government control of military finances brought by democratization and economic reform remains limited to the national level, promoting local military-client exchanges. Second, amid minimal government control of military finances, even in the capital city, demand from companies in the powerful extractive industries and from recently endowed subnational governments can encourage local military-client contracting.

Over time, it has evolved into an internationally connected, narco-trafficking organization that displays little concern for the peasants it once vowed to protect. In recent years, Colombian authorities have become more adept at countering the FARC, forcing it to operate increasingly outside of Colombia. The FARC's transformation from a local insurgency into an internationally connected one is the focus of this article. Using social network analysis it identifies key leaders who are tied to this transformation and discusses implications concerning the FARC's future.

In conjunction with the six components of the Canadian Forest Fire Danger Rating System and other NWP outputs, fire data from the MODerate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) are used to examine the meteorological separability between the largest fire growth and decay events, with a focus on central Alaska during the large fire season of 2004. This combined information is analyzed in three steps including a maximum likelihood classification, multiple regression, and empirical correction, from which the meteorological effects on fire growth and decay are statistically established to construct the fire prediction model. Both MODIS and GOES fire observations show that the NWP-based fire prediction model is an improvement over the forecast of persistence commonly used by near-real-time fire emission inventories. Results from an independent test (2005 fire season) show that the root-mean-square error (RMSE) of predicted MODIS fire observations is reduced by 5.2% compared with a persistence forecast Improvements are strongest (RMSE reduction of 11.4%) for cases with observed decay or extinction of fires. Similar results are obtained from additional independent tests using the 2004 and 2005 GOES satellite fire observations. This study uniquely demonstrates the value and importance of combining NWP data and satellite fire observations to predict biomass-burning emissions, which is a critical step toward producing a global short-term fire prediction model and improving operational forecasts of smoke transport at large spatial scales.

However, such work has not considered many of the practical aspects of implementing a detection algorithm. This letter looks at how the geometry of pulse chasing in a bistatic radar system can be used to reduce the dimensionality of the estimation problem for compressive sensing by only considering the region illuminated by the transmitter that is visible to the receiver. Specifically, a method of determining the extent of the transmit beam in the receiver's local u - v coordinate system is presented. Given this extent, the compressive sensing dictionary matrix can be formed over the discretized region. C1 USN, Res Lab, Washington, DC 20375 USA.

The mathematical models developed by leveraging the dominating effects of freezing and thawing within the cryosphere to simplify the relevant heat transport equations are tractable to direct solution or numerical modeling. In this paper, the heat forcing function is assumed to be a linear transformation of temperature (assumed to be represented by proxy realizations). The output from the governing mathematical model is total ice volume of the cryosphere. The basic mathematical model provides information as a systems modeling approach that includes sufficient detail to explain ice volume given the estimation of the heat forcing function. A comparison between modeling results in the estimation of ice volume versus ice volume estimates developed from use of proxy data are shown in the demonstration problems presented. C1 [Hromadka, T.

We consider three Monterey Bay model configurations which differ in resolution and bathymetry representation, and we specify open boundary conditions for these three configurations from two larger scale models, which have different accuracy in the representation of the remote forcing (in the form of poleward propagating along the coast coastally-trapped Kelvin type waves). Comparisons of correlations between observed and model currents as well as visual comparisons show that the most critical element in reproducing currents on the shelf is accurate representation of the remote forcing. Our results also show that accurate representation of bathymetry is the second most critical factor in reproducing observed currents. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Although apathy is a risk factor for dementia, its causes and clinical correlates have not been adequately studied. In particular, side of onset of disease, though a likely predictor of apathy and dementia, has not been thoroughly investigated. Methods: A total of 30 mid-stage patients with PD and 35 community-dwelling elderly control patients (CPs) were administered the AES (self version) along with a battery of cognitive and neuropsychiatric assessments. Persons close to patients with PD and CPs completed the AES-other (informant) version about the patient or CP. Multiple linear regression analysis examined predictors of apathy severity after controlling for mood, levodopa dosage equivalents (LDEs), gender, age, and disease severity (Hoehn-Yahr [H-Y] stage). Results: Patients with right-onset disease more frequently exhibited apathy and evidenced significantly higher total AES scores than left-onset patients with PD or CPs (P < .03). Of all the patients, 42% with right-onset PD versus 11.1% of the patients with left-onset PD exhibited clinically significant levels of apathy. There were no differences for self versus informant scores for right-onset patients with PD. The AES scores were not correlated with depression, stress, anxiety, LDEs, gender, age, and H-Y stage. There were no gender differences for any AES variables. Conclusion: Clinically significant levels of apathy are much more likely to occur in patients with right-onset disease.

TI Generalized orienteering problem with resource dependent rewards SO NAVAL RESEARCH LOGISTICS LA English DT Article DE orienteering problem; military operations research; search and surveillance; route planning; mixed-integer nonlinear programming ID MAXIMUM COLLECTION PROBLEM; MULTIPLE SEARCHERS; CONSTRAINED-PATH; OPTIMIZATION; ALGORITHM AB We introduce a generalized orienteering problem (OP) where, as usual, a vehicle is routed from a prescribed start node, through a directed network, to a prescribed destination node, collecting rewards at each node visited, to maximize the total reward along the path. In our generalization, transit on arcs in the network and reward collection at nodes both consume a variable amount of the same limited resource. We exploit this resource trade-off through a specialized branch-and-bound algorithm that relies on partial path relaxation problems that often yield tight bounds and lead to substantial pruning in the enumeration tree. We present the smuggler search problem (SSP) as an important real-world application of our generalized OP. Numerical results show that our algorithm applied to the SSP outperforms standard mixed-integer nonlinear programming solvers for moderate to large problem instances. We demonstrate model enhancements that allow practitioners to represent realistic search planning scenarios by accounting for multiple heterogeneous searchers and complex smuggler motion.

The jets in our sample lie very close to the solar limb to minimize projection effects. Two of the events show clear helical patterns during ejection. We also find that some of the jets are recurrent and that most of them cannot overcome solar gravity. We investigate the temporal evolution of the jets by measuring the height of their leading edge as a function of time. By fitting the resulting height-time diagrams, we derive the magnitude of their initial ejection speed and plasma acceleration by assuming ballistic motion. Moreover, we calculate the upward acceleration of the jets based on the dynamical velocity of the plasma, without assuming a ballistic motion. In both models, the acceleration profiles suggest the influence of forces other than gravity. In particular, we find indications of an upwards driving force which weakens the decelerating effect of the solar gravitational field along the motion of the jet. This force is larger in the dynamical model, which indicates that the ballistic approximation does not properly determine the rising motion of the plasma jets. C1 [Moschou, S.

Patsourakos and Vourlidas (Astrophys. J. 700, L182, 2009), Veronig et al. (Astrophys. J. 716, L57, 2010) and Selwa, Poedts, and DeVore (Astrophys. J. 747, L21, 2012) reported on the dome-shaped EUV waves resulting from different events. Here, we model, by means of 3D MHD simulations, the formation of dome-shaped EUV waves in rotating active regions (ARs). The numerical simulations are initialized with idealized (multi-)dipolar coronal (low beta) configurations. Next, we apply a sheared rotational motion to the central parts of all the positive and negative flux regions at the photospheric boundary. As a result, the flux tubes connecting the flux sources become twisted. We find that in all the studied configurations of idealized ARs, the rotating motion results in a dome-shaped structure originating from the AR. However, the shape of the dome depends on the initial configuration (topology of the AR). The initial stage of the wave evolution consists of multiple fronts that later merge together forming a single wave. The observed EUV wave propagates nearly isotropically on the disk and also in the upward direction. We remark that the initial stage of the evolution is determined by the driver and not caused by a magnetic reconnection event. At a later stage, however, the wave propagates freely. We study the different wave properties resulting from different driver speeds and find that independent of the initial AR topology the 3D dome-shaped wave is excited in the system. The symmetry of the 3D dome depends on the topology of the AR and on the duration of the driver. The EUV wave triggered is independent of the temporal profile of the driver. However, the properties of the wave (speed, sharpness of the cross-section, etc.) depend on the type of the trigger.

TI Patterns and Perceptions of Supplement Use by US Marines Deployed to Afghanistan SO MILITARY MEDICINE LA English DT Article ID DIETARY-SUPPLEMENT; ARMY SOLDIERS; ENERGY AB Dietary supplements are implicated in an increasing number of minor and serious adverse events, including death. A series of adverse events in deployed Marines using multiple supplements prompted medical officers to investigate the prevalence of supplement use among Marines stationed on Camp Leatherneck, Afghanistan. The investigators developed a survey to identify the types of supplements used, patterns of supplement use, reasons for taking supplements, perceived benefits from using supplements, and self-reported adverse effects. Marines were invited to complete an anonymous 17-question survey while visiting recreational and athletic facilities. A total of 329 active duty Marines completed the survey. The prevalence of supplement use was 72% for males and 42% for females (p = 0.009). Of the 12% of Marines reporting side effects, 79% were taking multiple supplements and 89% were using stimulants. Deployment was significantly associated with new supplement use (p < 0.001). Of users, 81% noted an improvement in physical performance. The majority of deployed Marines use multiple dietary supplements and perceive a high benefit. Given the high prevalence of supplement use and recent deaths associated with supplement use, recommendations are needed to guide the use of certain supplements by U.S. Marines in the deployed environment.

Ground-penetrating radar has been used extensively in the fields of engineering, military science, forensic science, archaeology, and environmental remediation, but has received little attention by wildlife professionals. We demonstrated a possible application of GPR for wildlife studies for mapping burrow systems using maritime pocket gophers (Geomys personatus maritimus), a subspecies of concern as listed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Ground-penetrating radar surveys were conducted at Naval Air Station-Corpus Christi on five 15-m x 15-m areas with > 200 above-ground gopher mounds/ha during July 2007. Survey areas were scanned with a Geophysical Survey Systems Inc. SIR-3000, GPR digital control unit and a 900-MHz ground-coupled antenna. Within the 5 areas, we located 8 gophers and mapped 267 m of tunnels that had an average depth of 0.6 m. We were able to differentiate deteriorating or abandoned tunnels from active tunnels, detect an underground pipeline, and distinguish changes in soil texture using GPR. Ground-penetrating radar is a non-destructive and non-invasive method to gain knowledge of fossorial animal movements and potential destabilization of soil integrity. (C) 2013 The Wildlife Society.

With our method, we are able to produce approximations that converge uniformly to the true solution. Our method relies on the periodic nature of two-dimensional analytic center manifolds.

TI An algorithm for discrete booleans with applications to finite element modeling of complex systems SO FINITE ELEMENTS IN ANALYSIS AND DESIGN LA English DT Article DE Boolean; Triangulation; Discrete; Mesh; Sizing sources; Remeshing ID MESH GENERATION; TRIANGULATION; SURFACES; BOUNDARY; ROBUST AB In this paper we describe a robust algorithm for three-dimensional boolean operations between boundary representation objects whose geometry is given by discrete (faceted) data. The algorithm presents a new approach for computing the intersection graph which is critical for robustness. It uses elementary computational-geometry operations such as, facet-segment intersection, point containment in simplices and edge recovery in a plane, to produce high-level boolean operations including union, intersection, difference as well as the imprint of the boundary of one object onto another. We also demonstrate the extension and application of the algorithm to mesh-based volumes. We show the robustness and efficacy of our algorithm by employing it to model complex three-dimensional finite element mesh models such as a complete ship where some of the model components are defined in a CAD-based system while others come from legacy mesh-based facetized representations. Use of our algorithm has enabled automation of modeling of very complex configurations reducing the turn-around time for analyses-ready numerical representations from several months to hours or less.

TI Mesoscale model evaluation with coherent Doppler lidar for wind farm assessment SO REMOTE SENSING LETTERS LA English DT Article ID VALLEY AB Wind measurements are fundamental inputs for wind resource assessment and the performance of wind farms. Common approaches for wind energy yield assessment are based on (1) observational data from surface station networks and (2) high-resolution computational fluid dynamic or mesoscale models. In this letter, we investigate the potential of applying a high-resolution nested mesoscale model, Coupled Ocean/Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System (COAMPS), to predict low-level wind characteristics for wind farm domains. The model results are compared to scanning coherent Doppler lidar and tower measurements for a wind energy development. This letter focuses on the magnitude of difference between observations and simulations used for wind energy assessment. The results highlight the challenge for straight-forward application of mesoscale models, even well-established models with a relatively fine resolution on the inner nest (333 m), to produce wind predictions of sufficient fidelity and accuracy appropriate for resource assessment or operational support for individual wind farms. While many of the average wind flow features are captured by the model, their detailed spatial and temporal evolution may be improved through tighter integration with local sensor data.

TI Quantum singularities in spherically symmetric, conformally static spacetimes SO PHYSICAL REVIEW D LA English DT Article ID QUASI-REGULAR SPACETIMES; SCALAR FIELD; BLACK-HOLES; DYNAMICS; TIMES; STATIONARY AB A definition of quantum singularity for the case of static spacetimes has recently been extended to conformally static spacetimes. Here the theory behind quantum singularities in conformally static spacetimes is reviewed and then applied to a class of spherically symmetric, conformally static spacetimes, including as special cases those studied by Roberts, by Fonarev, and by Husain et al. We use solutions of the generally coupled, massless Klein-Gordon equation as test fields. In this way we find the ranges of metric parameters and coupling coefficients for which classical timelike singularities in these spacetimes are healed quantum mechanically. C1 [Helliwell, T.

Simulink simulations are given for 6 grain systems for cubic and Hertz intergrain potentials. The expected granular solitary waves are seen in the simulations. The block diagrams hence convert a single impulse into a traveling energy bundle of fixed width. This work forms the necessary first step for the eventual realization of the mathematical system represented by the granular chain as a Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) circuit.

Trends in the ferromagnetic transition temperature T-C with respect to the IR spectral weight are examined using a sum-rule analysis of IR conductivity spectra. We find nonmonotonic behavior of trends in T-C with the spectral weight to effective Mn ratio, which suggest a strong double-exchange component to the FM mechanism, and highlights the important role of impurity states and localization at the Fermi level. Spectroscopic features of the IR conductivity are tracked as they evolve with temperature, doping, annealing, As-antisite compensation, and are found only to be consistent with a Mn-induced IB scenario. Furthermore, our detailed exploration of these spectral features demonstrates that seemingly conflicting trends reported in the literature regarding a broad mid-IR resonance with respect to carrier density in Ga1-xMnx As are in fact not contradictory. Our study thus provides a consistent experimental picture of the magnetic and electronic properties of Ga1-xMnx As. C1 [Chapler, B. C.; Frenzel, A.; Pursley, B. C.; Basov, D.

A box difference index was computed to quantitatively assess the role of environmental controlling parameters. The diagnosis of the model outputs shows that in the WNP, dynamic variables are of primary importance for separating developing and nondeveloping disturbances in the present-day climate, and such a relationship remains unchanged in a future warmer climate. This is in contrast to the NA, where box difference index increases for all dynamic variables investigated while it shows little change for thermodynamic variables. This implies that, when compared with the present-day climate in which thermodynamic variables have a major control on tropical cyclone genesis, dynamic and thermodynamic variables have equal control in the NA under the future warmer climate.

The diagnostics of DNS, performed for the first time in the realistic parameter range, result in vertical fluxes exceeding those of extant four-thirds flux laws by as much as a factor of 2 and suggest that the 4/3 exponent may require downward revision. Through a series of equivalent 2-D DNS, we show that they are consistent with their more resource-intensive 3-D counterparts for sufficiently large density ratio (R) but underestimate heat transport for low R. Finally, we examine the role of boundary conditions in controlling the vertical heat transport. Rigid boundariesa necessary ingredient in laboratory-derived flux-lawsare shown to reduce the estimates of heat fluxes relative to the corresponding periodic boundary conditions. mined C1 [Flanagan, Jason D.; Lefler, Angela S.; Radko, Timour] Naval Postgrad Sch, Dept Oceanog, Monterey, CA 93943 USA.

TI Dielectric Properties of Bisphenol A Polycarbonate and Its Tethered Nitrile Analogue SO MACROMOLECULES LA English DT Article ID ELECTRICAL-CONDUCTIVITY; AROMATIC POLYCARBONATES; LITHIUM-SALTS; HIGH-PRESSURE; RELAXATION; DYNAMICS; LIQUIDS; GLASSY; POLYMERS; OXIDE) AB The relative permittivity and dielectric strength have been determined for a bisphenol A polycarbonate (BPA-PC), in which a cyanoethyl group has been substituted for one of the geminal dimethyl groups. The new material (CN-PC) has a glass transition temperature that is 19 K higher than that for BPA-PC. In addition, the dielectric strength of CN-PC, 405 V/mu m, is somewhat smaller than that for BPA-PC, 620 V/mu m. The relative permittivity was determined from 10 to 10(5) Hz over a wide temperature range and at pressures up to 0.25 GPa. While the real part of the relative permittivity at 10(3) Hz and room temperature for BPA-PC is about 3, that for CN-PC is found to be greater than 4. Correspondingly, the gamma relaxation region in CN-PC is very strong. For the gamma relaxation, a strong increase in peak height as temperature increases and a strong decrease in peak height as pressure increases are observed A relaxation is found at temperatures higher than the gamma relaxation. This process is labeled as the beta relaxation because it appears to be related to the beta relaxation in BPA-PC in that the strength and position depend on the history of the material. The effects of pressure on the gamma relaxation for both CN-PC and BPA-PC are quite large and similar to those previously seen for the gamma relaxation in a fluorinated tetraaryl bisphenol A polycarbonate (DiF p-TABPA-PC). In fact, the activation volume is found to be approximately the same for all three BPA-PC-based materials despite wide variations in both peak position and peak height Finally, computer studies of the model compounds, 4,4'-diphenylpentanenitrile and diphenyl carbonate, were carried out Both provide insight into the nature of the gamma relaxation with the latter yielding an activation volume in approximate agreement with the experimental values.

All soft segments have molecular weight similar to 1000 g/mol and are composed of either tetramethylene oxide, hexamethylene oxide, aliphatic carbonate, or dimethylsiloxane (PDMS) segments. These microphase-separated materials exhibit rich dielectric relaxation behavior: up to two relaxations in the glassy state, a segmental alpha relaxation (two for the polymer with predominately PDMS soft segments), and three slower relaxations. The slowest process arises from interfacial (MWS) polarization, and its strength decreases significantly with increasing temperature (over a few tens of degrees) and disappears at a temperature similar to that at which the small-angle X-ray scattering from the phase-separated microstructure disappears.

TI Smooth scaling of valence electronic properties in fullerenes: From one carbon atom, to C-60, to graphene SO PHYSICAL REVIEW A LA English DT Article ID LOWEST-ENERGY FULLERENES; IONIZATION-POTENTIALS; AFFINITIES; SEARCH; MODEL AB Scaling of quantum capacitances and valence electron detachment energies is studied for icosahedral and nonicosahedral fullerenes. Scaling trends are considered from zero to infinite average radius, where a fullerene's local surface properties are similar to those of graphene. Detailed density-functional-theory calculations are performed to determine the geometries and detachment energies of icosahedral fullerenes, while values of these quantities are obtained for nonicosahedral species from previously published experimental results. Strongly linear, quasiclassical scaling versus average radii (r) over bar (n) is seen for the quantum capacitances, but on two different scaling lines for icosahedral and nonicosahedral species, respectively. By contrast, nonclassical, nonlinear scaling versus 1/(r) over bar (n) is seen for the electron detachment energies, i.e., the valence ionization potentials and electron affinities. This nonlinearity is not accounted for by classical theories that are used to explain trends in electronic properties of fullerenes and usually give accurate quantitative estimates. Instead, simple quantum equations are derived to account for nonlinearities in the metal-particle-like electron detachment energy scaling and to show that these are responsible for nonclassical, nonzero intercepts in the capacitance scaling lines of the fullerenes. Last, it is found that points representing the carbon atom and the graphene limit lie on scaling lines for icosahedral fullerenes, so their quantum capacitances and their detachment energies scale smoothly from one C atom, to C-60, to graphene.

For these problems, the role that small-scale internal atmospheric gravity wave fluctuations play has recently been realized. This paper provides a methodology for representing small-scale internal gravity wave fluctuations which is suitable for infrasound propagation calculations. Adapted from the numerical weather prediction and climate modeling communities, the resulting stochastic gravity wave noise field model is three-dimensional, time dependent, and self-consistent with the atmospheric background state. To illustrate the methodology the resultant gravity wavefields are applied to ray-trace simulations of observed infrasound travel times for a dense seismic network in the Western United States which recorded infrasound signals from a large surface explosion.

Measurements made east of Barbados from the Center for Interdisciplinary Remotely Piloted Aircraft Studies (CIRPAS) Twin Otter research aircraft are used to characterize particle size distributions; vertical distributions of aerosols, temperature, and moisture; and processes leading to the observed stratification in the boundary layer. The vertical profiles of various aerosol characterizations were similar on both days and show three layers with distinct aerosol and thermodynamic characteristics: the Saharan Air Layer (SAL; similar to 2.2km500m), a subcloud layer (SCL; surface to similar to 500m), and an intermediate layer extending between them. The SAL and SCL display well-mixed aerosol and thermodynamic characteristics; but the most significant horizontal and vertical variations in aerosols and thermodynamics occur in the intermediate layer. The aerosol variability observed in the intermediate layer is likely associated with modification by shallow cumulus convection occurring sometime in the prior history of the air mass as it is advected across the Atlantic. A comparison of the thermodynamic structure observed in the event from its origin over Africa with that when it reached Barbados indicates that the lower part of the SAL was moistened by surface fluxes as the air mass was advected across the Atlantic. Mixing diagrams using aerosol concentrations and water vapor mixing ratios as conserved parameters provide insight into the vertical transports and mixing processes that may explain the observed aerosol and thermodynamic variability in each layer.

TI Investigating enhanced Aqua MODIS aerosol optical depth retrievals over the mid-to-high latitude Southern Oceans through intercomparison with co-located CALIOP, MAN, and AERONET data sets SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-ATMOSPHERES LA English DT Article DE aerosol; sea salt; MODIS; satellite; CALIPSO; MAN ID CLOUD CONTAMINATION; DATA-ASSIMILATION; SATELLITE DATA; GOCART MODEL; PART I; CALIPSO; ALGORITHM; PRODUCTS; VALIDATION; THICKNESS AB A band of enhanced aerosol optical depth (AOD) over the mid-to-high latitude Southern Oceans exists in some passive satellite-based aerosol data sets, including Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) products. Past studies suggest several potential causes contributing to this phenomenon, including signal uncertainty, retrieval bias, and cloud contamination. In this paper, quality-assured Aqua MODIS aerosol products in this zonal band are investigated to assess cloud contamination as a cause. Spatially and temporally collocated cloud and aerosol products produced by the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) project relative to Aqua MODIS AOD in this region are considered. Maritime Aerosol Network (MAN) and Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) AOD data are also collocated with Aqua MODIS retrievals for surface context. The results of this study indicate that the high Aqua MODIS AOD are not seen in the CALIOP aerosol products, cannot be screened using active profiling of collocated observations for cloud presence, and are not detected by ground-based observations such as MAN and AERONET. Enhanced AOD values are attributable primarily to stratocumulus and low broken cumulus cloud contamination, as identified with CALIOP products. But these clouds explain only about 30-40% of the total anomaly. Cirrus cloud contamination is also a factor. However, in contrast to the rest of the globe, they contribute less overall, relative to low-level liquid water clouds, which are considered likely the result of misidentification of relatively warm cloud tops compared with surrounding open seas.

TI Measurement of the transport spin polarization of FeV using point-contact Andreev reflection SO APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS LA English DT Article ID ELECTRONIC-STRUCTURE; THIN-FILMS; MAGNETORESISTANCE; JUNCTIONS; MOMENTS AB The Fe1-xVx alloy system exhibits the lowest known Gilbert relaxation rate of any ferromagnetic metal or binary alloy with G = 35 MHz at x = 27% V. Low relaxation rates are of particular interest in modern spin electronic applications involving spin torque. The transport spin polarization of a series of sputtered epitaxial Fe1-xVx samples was measured using point contact Andreev reflection. Values of the transport spin polarization agree well with those measured for pure Fe and are independent of composition. The results indicate that the substitution of up to 50% of V for Fe does not reduce the spin polarization in the alloy. (C) 2013 AIP Publishing LLC. C1 [Osofsky, M.

TI Quantum-confined Stark effects in coupled InAs/GaAs quantum dots SO APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS LA English DT Article ID OPTICAL-PROPERTIES; WELLS AB We report the effects of tunnel coupling on the Quantum-Confined Stark Effect (QCSE) for excitons in InAs/GaAs coupled quantum dots (CQDs). As the barrier separating the dots is reduced, the zero-field dipole moment and the polarizability are both found to increase. This systematic variation as a function of barrier thickness is due to factors including the formation of molecular wavefunctions, the electron/hole effective masses, and the CQD structural properties. The dipole moment for the interdot exciton is found to be up to 100 times larger than that of the intradot exciton resulting in a predominantly linear shift with field. The ability to control the QCSE of the exciton in a single CQD could be useful for a new class of single photon optical switches and tunable emitters. (C) 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.

Raman spectroscopy was employed to monitor this transformation, starting with the sp(3)-to-sp(2) conversion of the ND surface at the onset of the graphitization process. Additionally, transmission electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analysis were used to supplement the structural information obtained from Raman spectroscopy and allow for an accurate interpretation of the obtained Raman data. The effect of the annealing time on the transformation process was also studied to determine the kinetics of the conversion at low temperatures. The results presented in this study complement previous work on ND annealing and provide deeper insight into the nanodiamond-to-carbon onion conversion mechanism, in particular the time and size dependence. We present further evidence for the existence of a disordered sp(2) phase as an intermediate step in the transformation process.

In this work, we further explored the role of the 1-adamantyl group at the C-3 position in a series of tricyclic cannabinoid analogues modified at the 9-northern aliphatic hydroxyl (NAH) position. Of these, 9-hydroxymethyl hexahydrocannabinol 11 (AM4054) exhibited high CB1 affinity and full agonist profile. In the cAMP assay, the 9-hydroxymethyl cannabinol analogue 24 (AM4089) had a partial agonist profile, with high affinity and moderate selectivity for rCB1 over hCB2. In vivo results in rat models of hypothermia and analgesia were congruent with in vitro data. Our in vivo data indicate that 3-(1-adamantyl) substitution, within NAH cannabinergics, imparts improved pharmacological profiles when compared to the corresponding, traditionally used 3-dimethylheptyl analogues and identifies 11 and 24 as potentially useful in vivo CB1 cannabinergic probes.

Mixtures of target-specific magnetic bead sets were processed in the NRL MagTrap with the aid of rotating magnet arrays that entrapped and moved the beads within the channel during reagent processing. Processing was performed in buffer and human serum matrixes with 10-fold dilutions in the range of 10(2)-10(6) cells/mL of target bacteria. Reversal of magnets' rotation post-processing released the beads back into the flow and moved them into the microflow cytometer for optical interrogation. Identification of the beads and the detection of PE fluorescence were performed simultaneously for multiplexed detection. Multiplexing was performed with specifically targeted bead sets to detect E. coli 0157.H7, Salmonella Common Structural Antigen, Listeria sp., and Shigella sp., dose response curves were obtained, and limits of detection were calculated for each target in the buffer and clinical matrix. Additional tests demonstrated the potential for using the MagTrap to concentrate target from larger volumes of sample prior to the addition of assay reagents.

Iron corrosion products from four DWDS were examined to assess the potential for Sr2+ binding and release. Average Sr2+ concentrations in the outermost layer of the corrosion products ranged from 3 to 54 mg kg(-1) and the Sr2+ drinking water concentrations were all <= 0.3 mg L-1. Micro-X-ray adsorption near edge structure spectroscopy and linear combination fitting determined that Sr2+ was principally associated with CaCO3. Sr2+ was also detected as a surface complex associated with alpha-FeOOH. Iron particulates deposited on a filter inside a home had an average Sr2+ concentration of 40.3 mg kg(-1) and the associated drinking water at a tap Was 210 mu g L-1. The data suggest that elevated Sr2+ concentrations may be associated with iron corrosion products that, if disturbed, could increase Sr2+ concentrations above the 0.3 mu g L-1 US EPA reporting threshold. Disassociation of very small particulates could result in drinking water Sr2+ concentrations that exceed the US EPA health reference limit (4.20 mg kg(-1) body weight).

TI Redox Deposition of Nanoscale Metal Oxides on Carbon for Next-Generation Electrochemical Capacitors SO ACCOUNTS OF CHEMICAL RESEARCH LA English DT Review ID HYDROUS RUTHENIUM OXIDE; SOL-GEL SYNTHESIS; MANGANESE OXIDE; ENERGY-STORAGE; ELECTROLESS DEPOSITION; AQUEOUS-ELECTROLYTE; POTASSIUM-PERMANGANATE; ACETYLENE BLACK; CHARGE STORAGE; DOUBLE-LAYER AB Transition metal oxides that mix electronic and ionic conductivity are I essential active components of many electrochemical charge-storage devices, ranging from primary alkaline cells to more advanced rechargeable Li-ion batteries. In these devices, charge storage occurs via cation-insertion/deinsertion mechanisms in conjunction with the reduction/oxidation of metal sites in the oxide. Batteries that incorporate such metal oxides are typically designed for high specific energy, but not necessarily for high specific power. Electrochemical capacitors (ECs), which are typically composed of symmetric high-surface-area carbon electrodes that store charge via double-layer capacitance, deliver their energy in time scales of seconds, but at much lower specific energy than batteries. The fast, reversible faradaic reactions (typically described as "pseudocapacitance") of particular nanoscale metal oxides (e.g., ruthenium and manganese oxides) provide a strategy for bridging the power/energy performance gap between batteries and conventional ECs. These processes enhance charge-storage capacity to boost specific energy, while maintaining the few-second timescale of the charge-discharge response of carbon-based ECs. In this Account, we describe three examples of redox-based deposition of EC-relevant metal oxides (MnO2, FeOx, and RuO2) and discuss their potential deployment in next-generation ECs that use aqueous electrolytes. To extract the maximum pseudocapacitance functionality of metal oxides, one must carefully consider how they are synthesized and subsequently integrated into practical electrode structures. Expressing the metal oxide in a nanoscale form often enhances electrochemical utilization (maximizing specific capacitance) and facilitates high-rate operation for both charge and discharge. The "wiring" of the metal oxide, in terms of both electron and ion transport, when fabricated into a practical electrode architecture, is also a critical design parameter for achieving characteristic EC charge-discharge timescales. For example, conductive carbon must often be combined with the poorly conductive metal oxides to provide long-range electron pathways through the electrode. However, the ad hoc mixing of discrete carbon and oxide powders into composite electrodes may not support optimal utilization or rate performance. As an alternative, nanoscale metal oxides of interest for ECs can be synthesized directly on the surfaces of nanostructured carbons, with the carbon surface acting as a sacrificial reductant when exposed to a solution-phase, oxidizing precursor of the desired metal oxide (e.g., MnO4- for MnO2). These redox deposition methods can be applied to advanced carbon nanoarchitectures with well-designed pore structures. These architectures promote effective electrolyte infiltration and ion transport to the nanoscale metal oxide domains within the electrode architecture, which further enhances high-rate operation.

TI Something from Nothing: Enhancing Electrochemical Charge Storage with Cation Vacancies SO ACCOUNTS OF CHEMICAL RESEARCH LA English DT Review ID ELECTROLYTIC MANGANESE-DIOXIDE; LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES; VANADIUM-OXIDE AEROGELS; CO SPINEL OXIDES; V2O5 AEROGEL; IRON-OXIDE; INSERTION ELECTRODE; CATHODE MATERIALS; ENERGY-STORAGE; DEFICIENT MN AB The performance of electrochemical energy storage devices (e.g., batteries and electrochemical capacitors) is largely determined by the physicochemical properties of the active electrode materials, such as the thermodynamic potential associated with the charge-storage reaction, ion-storage capacity, and long-term electrochemical stability. In the case of mixed ion/electron-conducting metal oxides that undergo cation-insertion reactions, the presence of cation vacancies in the lattice structure can enhance one or more of these technical parameters without resorting to a drastic change in material composition. Examples of this enhancement include the charge-storage properties of certain cation-deficient oxides such as gamma-MnO2 and gamma-Fe2O3 relative to their defect-free analogues. The optimal cation-vacancy fraction is both material- and application-dependent because cation vacancies enhance some materials properties at the expense of others, potentially affecting electronic conductivity or thermal stability. Although the advantages of structural cation vacancies have been known since at least the mid-1980s, only a handful of research groups have purposefully integrated cation vacancies into active electrode materials to enhance device performance. Three protocols are available for the incorporation of cation vacancies into transition metal oxides to improve performance in both aqueous and nonaqueous energy storage. Through a processing approach, researchers induce point defects in conventional oxides using traditional solid-state-ionics techniques that treat the oxide under appropriate atmospheric conditions with a driving force such as temperature. In a synthetic approach, substitutional doping of a highly oxidized cation into a metal-oxide framework can significantly increase cation-vacancy content and corresponding charge-storage capacity. In a scaling approach, electrode materials that are expressed in morphologies with high surface areas, such as aerogels, contain more defects because the increased fraction of surface sites favors the formation of cation vacancies. In this Account, we review studies of cation-deficient electrode materials from the literature and our laboratory, focusing on transition metal oxides and the impact cation vacancies have on electrochemical performance. We also discuss the challenges and limitations of these defective structures and their promise as battery materials.

Realized by special deposition of snow targets on sapphire substrates and using carefully planned prepulses, high proton yields emitted in a narrow solid angle with energy above 21 MeV were detected from a 5 TW laser. Our simulations predict that using the proposed scheme protons can be accelerated to energies above 150 MeV by 100 TW laser systems.

Both planar and cylindrical cantilevers are implemented using short length (few centimeters) fiber lasers, which are also used to measure the deflections. The driving forces are analyzed in detail illustrating how the dominant force transitions from a pressure related force to a viscous force depending on the Reynolds number of the fluid flow around the cantilever. Simplified, approximate expressions for the tip displacement of cantilevers oscillating in the highly viscous regime are also presented. These results will enable accurate, a priori, calculation of the motion of driven cantilevers over a range of dimensions, geometries, and fluid properties. (C) 2013 AIP Publishing LLC. C1 [Cranch, G.

The model is based on the hypothesis that ASL volume is sensed through soluble mediators and phasic stresses generated by beating cilia and air drag forces. Model parameters are fit based on the available data on human bronchial epithelial cell cultures. Simulations then demonstrate that homeostatic volume regulation is a natural consequence of the processes described. The model maintains ASL volume within a physiological range that modulates with phasic stress frequency and amplitude. Next, we show that the model successfully reproduces the responses of cell cultures to significant isotonic and hypotonic challenges, and to hypertonic saline, an effective therapy for mucus hydration in cystic fibrosis patients. These results compel an advanced airway hydration model with therapeutic value that will necessitate detailed kinetics of multiple molecular pathways, feedback to ASL viscoelasticity properties, and stress signaling from the ASL to the cilia and epithelial cells.

The self-assembly of the nanosphere monolayers uses a simple and efficient technique that allows for the creation of a high-density, chemically functionalized gold nanosphere monolayers with enhancement factors comparable to those produced using top-down fabrication techniques.

The antenna uses a one-dimensional composite right/left hand transmission line approach to tune radiation angle continually from backfire-to-endfire, including broadside, as a function of input frequency. An array of acoustically loaded membranes and open channels form a structure with negative, zero, or positive refractive index, depending on excitation frequency. The fast-wave radiation band of the antenna is determined using acoustic circuit analysis. Based on the designs specified by circuit and finite element analysis, an acoustic leaky wave antenna was fabricated, and the radiation direction measured at discrete frequencies.

The strong confinement in quantum dot structures leads to unique interactions among electrons and holes. A detailed understanding of the magnitude and dynamics of these charge-carrier interactions will be essential to the development of future devices. We present experimental evidence of holes trapped in metastable higher-energy states of InAs/AlGaAs/InAs quantum dot molecules.

TI An ocean coupling potential intensity index for tropical cyclones SO GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS LA English DT Article ID HURRICANE INTENSITY; THERMAL STRUCTURE; TEMPERATURE; PREDICTION; DYNAMICS; MODEL AB Timely and accurate forecasts of tropical cyclones (TCs, i.e., hurricanes and typhoons) are of great importance for risk mitigation. Although in the past two decades there has been steady improvement in track prediction, improvement on intensity prediction is still highly challenging. Cooling of the upper ocean by TC-induced mixing is an important process that impacts TC intensity. Based on detail in situ air-deployed ocean and atmospheric measurement pairs collected during the Impact of Typhoons on the Ocean in the Pacific (ITOP) field campaign, we modify the widely used Sea Surface Temperature Potential Intensity (SST_PI) index by including information from the subsurface ocean temperature profile to form a new Ocean coupling Potential Intensity (OC_PI) index. Using OC_PI as a TC maximum intensity predictor and applied to a 14 year (1998-2011) western North Pacific TC archive, OC_PI reduces SST_PI-based overestimation of archived maximum intensity by more than 50% and increases the correlation of maximum intensity estimation from r(2) = 0.08 to 0.31. For slow-moving TCs that cause the greatest cooling, r(2) increases to 0.56 and the root-mean square error in maximum intensity is 11m s(-1). As OC_PI can more realistically characterize the ocean contribution to TC intensity, it thus serves as an effective new index to improve estimation and prediction of TC maximum intensity.

We previously published a series of spirooxindole-containing compounds as a new class of MDM2 small-molecule inhibitors. We report herein a reversible ring-opening-cyclization reaction for some of these spirooxindoles, which affords four diastereomers from a single compound. Our biochemical binding data showed that the stereochemistry in this class of compounds has a major effect on their binding affinities to MDM2, with >100-fold difference between the most potent and the least potent stereoisomers. Our study has led to the identification of a set of highly potent MDM2 inhibitors with a stereochemistry that is different from that of our previously reported compounds. The most potent compound (MI-888) binds to MDM2 with a K-i value of 0.44 nM and achieves complete and long-lasting tumor regression in an animal model of human cancer.

TI A comparison of the PRIME-MD PHQ-9 and PHQ-8 in a large military prospective study, the Millennium Cohort Study SO JOURNAL OF AFFECTIVE DISORDERS LA English DT Article DE Depression; Epidemiology; Assessment/diagnosis; Measurement/psychometrics; Mood disorders ID POSTTRAUMATIC-STRESS-DISORDER; PRIMARY-CARE; SUICIDAL IDEATION; MAJOR DEPRESSION; MENTAL-DISORDERS; HEALTH; VALIDITY; AFGHANISTAN; VALIDATION; VETERANS AB Background: In light of increased concerns about suicide in the military, institutional review boards have mandated increased scrutiny of the final item on the depression screening tool, the PHQ-9, which asks about suicidal thoughts. Since real-time monitoring of all individual responses in most observational studies is not feasible, many investigators have adopted the PHQ-8, choosing to remove the ninth item. This study compares the performance of the PHQ-8 with the PHQ-9 in a population-based sample of military or nonmilitary subjects. Methods: The Millennium Cohort Study administers a self-reported questionnaire that includes the PHQ-9 at 3-year intervals to current and former U.S. military personnel. PHQ-9 responses of 143,705 Millennium Cohort members were investigated. Cross-sectional comparisons of the PHQ-9 and PHQ-8 and prospective analyses to detect a 5-unit change in these measures were performed. Results: Greater than substantial agreement was found between the PHQ-8 and 9 instruments (kappas, 0.966-0.974 depending on survey cycle). There was similarly high agreement between the PHQ-8 and 9 in detecting a 5-point increase (kappa=0.987) or decrease (kappa=0.984) in score. Limitations: One potential limitation of this study is that participants completed the PHQ-9, and PHQ-8 scores were extrapolated from the PHQ-9. In addition, the Millennium Cohort may not fully represent the U.S. military; though previous evaluations have shown the cohort to be a well-representative sample. Conclusions: Since excellent agreement was detected between the PHQ-8 and PHQ-9 instruments, the PHQ-8 would capture nearly all the same cases of depression as the PHQ-9 in populations similar to the one in this study.

TI First-principles study of the interaction of H2O with the GaSb (001) surface SO JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID ENERGY-LOSS SPECTROSCOPY; PHOTOELECTRON-SPECTROSCOPY; GALLIUM ANTIMONIDE; GASB(100)-(1 X-3); PHOTOEMISSION; GASB(001); OXIDATION; HYDROGEN; GROWTH; GAAS AB The adsorption of H2O on the GaSb (001) surface, both clean and with pre-adsorbed H atoms, has been studied computationally using dispersion-corrected density functional theory. The model employed is the alpha-(4 x 3) reconstruction consisting of Ga-Sb dimers adsorbed on the Sb-terminated surface, a disordered version of which is believed to constitute the frequently observed Sb-rich (1 x 3) surface. On the clean surface, molecular adsorption of H2O at a coordinatively unsaturated Ga site is exothermic (Delta E = -0.57 eV), but dissociation of this adsorbed H2O is significantly endothermic (Delta E= +0.45 eV or more). Dissociation can form either a (HO) Ga-Sb(H) site involving a Ga-Sb dimer or a (H) Ga-O(H)-Sb bridge. Other reactions are also energetically feasible, depending on the bond strength of different inequivalent Ga-Sb dimers. The two structures have essentially the same energy, and both can undergo an exothermic reaction with a second H2O. For the (HO) Ga-Sb(H) site, this reaction leads to the breaking of the dimer bond and the adsorption of molecular water, while the (H) Ga-O(H)-Sb bridge transforms to (HO) Ga-O(H)-Sb with the release of H-2. On the H-terminated surface, molecular adsorption of H2O can be suppressed and dissociative adsorption enhanced, which means that formation of an OH-terminated surface may be easier when starting with an H-terminated vs. a clean surface. The implications of these results for the growth of oxide/GaSb heterostructures via atomic layer deposition are discussed. C1 USN, Res Lab, Elect Sci & Technol Div, Washington, DC 20375 USA.

Predicted binding free energies are in excellent agreement with simulation data over a wide range of crowder sizes and packing fractions. It is shown that attractive interactions between proteins and crowding agents counteract the stabilizing effects of excluded volume interactions. A critical attraction strength, for which there is no net effect of crowding, is approximately independent of the crowder packing fraction.

The inclusive J/psi spectrum and the extracted B-hadron feed-down are compared to models incorporating different production mechanisms. We observe significant suppression of the J/psi yields for p(T) > 5 GeV/c in 0-30% central Au + Au collisions relative to the p + p yield scaled by the number of binary nucleon-nucleon collisions in Au + Au collisions. In 30-60% mid-central collisions, no such suppression is observed. The level of suppression is consistently less than that of high-p(T) pi(+/-) and low-p(T) J/psi at RHIC and high-p(T) J/psi at the LHC. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

TI OBSERVATIONS OF CRAB GIANT PULSES IN 20-84 MHz USING LWA1 SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE ISM: individual objects (Crab Nebula); ISM: structure; pulsars: general; pulsars: individual (Crab Pulsar); scattering ID NEBULA PULSAR; RADIO SOURCES; SCATTERING; DISPERSION; VARIABILITY; BURSTS; SYSTEM; ARRAY; CAS AB We report the detection and observed characteristics of giant pulses from the Crab Nebula pulsar (B0531+21) in four frequency bands covering 20-84 MHz using the recently completed Long Wavelength Array Station 1 (LWA1) radio telescope. In 10 hr of observations distributed over a 72 day period in fall of 2012, 33 giant pulses having peak flux densities between 400 Jy and 2000 Jy were detected. Twenty-two of these pulses were detected simultaneously in channels of 16 MHz bandwidth centered at 44 MHz, 60 MHz, and 76 MHz, including one pulse which was also detected in a channel centered at 28 MHz. We quantify statistics of pulse amplitude and pulse shape characteristics, including pulse broadening. Amplitude statistics are consistent with expectations based on extrapolations from previous work at higher and lower frequencies. Pulse broadening is found to be relatively high, but not significantly greater than expected. We present procedures that have been found to be effective for observing giant pulses in this frequency range. C1 [Ellingson, S. W.; Wolfe, C.

Observations were recorded by the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) aboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory and the X-Ray Telescope (XRT) aboard Hinode. A single set of contemporaneous images is explored in detail, along with prefatory consideration for time evolution using only the 171 angstrom data. For each of the eight passbands, we characterize the emission and derive outgassing rates where applicable. As material sublimates from the nucleus and is immersed in coronal plasma, it rapidly ionizes through charge states seldom seen in this environment. The AIA data show four stages of oxygen ionization (O III-O VI) along with C IV, while XRT likely captured emission from O VII, a line typical of the corona. With a nucleus of at least several hundred meters upon approach to a perihelion that brought the comet to within 0.2 R-circle dot of the photosphere, Lovejoy was the most significant sungrazer in recent history. Correspondingly high outgassing rates on the order of 10(32.5) oxygen atoms per second are estimated. Assuming that the neutral oxygen comes from water, this translates to a mass-loss rate of similar to 9.5 x 10(9) g s(-1), and based only on the 171 angstrom observations, we find a total mass loss of similar to 10(13) g over the AIA egress. Additional and supporting analyses include a differential emission measure to characterize the coronal environment, consideration for the opening angle, and a comparison of the emission's leading edge with the expected position of the nucleus.

We find that pi(3) Ori's coronal emission measure distribution is very similar to those of moderately active G and K dwarfs, with an emission measure peak near log T = 6.6 seeming to be ubiquitous for such stars. In contrast to coronal temperature, coronal abundances are known to depend on spectral type for main sequence stars. Based on this previously known relation, we expected pi(3) Ori's corona to exhibit an extremely strong "first ionization potential (FIP) effect," a phenomenon first identified on the Sun where elements with low FIP are enhanced in the corona. We instead find that pi(3) Ori's corona exhibits a FIP effect essentially identical to that of the Sun and other early G dwarfs, perhaps indicating that the increase in FIP bias toward earlier spectral types stops or at least slows for F stars. We find that pi(3) Ori's coronal characteristics are significantly different from two previously studied mid-F stars, Procyon (F5 IV-V) and tau Boo (F7 V). We believe pi(3) Ori is more representative of the coronal characteristics of mid-F dwarfs, with Procyon being different because of luminosity class, and tau Boo being different because of the effects of one of two close companions, one stellar (tau Boo B: M2 V) and one planetary.

First, thin films that are highly piezoelectric and mechanically flexible were designed by embedding zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles in a poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) (PVDF-TrFE) piezo-polymer matrix. Second, the suspended nanoparticle solutions were then spin coated onto patterned comb electrodes to fabricate the IDTs. The films were then poled to align their electric domains and to increase their permanent piezoelectricity. Upon IDT fabrication, its sensing and actuation of Lamb waves on an aluminum pipe was validated. These results were also compared to data obtained from commercial Macro Fiber Composite IDT transducers. In the last phase of this work, damage detection was demonstrated by mounting these nanocomposite sensors and actuators (using a pitch-catch setup) onto an aluminum pipe and plate. Damage was simulated by tightening a band clamp around the pipe and by drilling holes in the plate. A damage index calculation was used to compare results corresponding to different levels of damage applied to the plate (i.e., different drilled hole depths), and good correlation was observed. Thus, ZnO/PVDF-TrFE transducers were shown to have the potential for use as piezoelectric transducers for structural health monitoring and damage detection.

TI Stratification of Living Organisms in Ballast Tanks: How Do Organism Concentrations Vary as Ballast Water Is Discharged? SO ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article ID MARINE SNOW; TRANSPORT; DYNAMICS AB Vertical migrations of living organisms and settling of particle-attached organisms lead to uneven distributions of biota at different depths in the water column. In ballast tanks, heterogeneity could lead to different population estimates depending on the portion of the discharge sampled. For example, concentrations of organisms exceeding a discharge standard may not be detected if sampling occurs during periods of the discharge when concentrations are low. To determine the degree of stratification, water from ballast tanks was sampled at two experimental facilities as the tanks were drained after water was held for 1 or 5 days. Living organisms >= 50 mu m were counted in discrete segments of the drain (e.g., the first 20 min of the drain operation, the second 20 min interval, etc.), thus representing different strata in the tank. In 1 and 5 day trials at both facilities, concentrations of organisms varied among drain segments, and the patterns of stratification varied among replicate trials. From numerical simulations, the optimal sampling strategy for stratified tanks is to collect multiple time-integrated samples spaced relatively evenly throughout the discharge event.

TI Texture development in Galfenol wire SO JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 12th Joint MMM-Intermag Conference CY JAN 14-18, 2013 CL Chicago, IL SP AIP Publishing, IEEE Magnet Soc ID FE-GA; ALLOYS AB Galfenol (Fe-Ga alloy) wire fabrication provides a low cost alternative to directional solidification methods. This work evaluates the compositional dependence of the wire drawing suitability of Fe-Ga and characterizes the microstructural and magnetic properties of these wires. Wire has been produced with Ga contents between 10 at.% and 17 at.% to allow determination of the ductile to brittle transition (DTBT) in wire manufacture. Published results on chill cast bend specimens indicated that a DTBT occurs at roughly 15 at.% Ga. This DTBT was observed under tensile loading with a corresponding change in fracture behavior from transverse fracture to intergranular fracture. For improved magnetostrictive performance, higher Ga contents are desired, closer to the 17 at.% Ga evaluated in this work. Electron backscattered diffraction B-H loop and resonance measurements as a function of magnetic field (to determine modulus and coupling factor) are presented for as-drawn, furnace, and direct current (DC) annealed wire. Galfenol wire produced via traditional drawing methods is found to have a strong < 110 > (alpha) texture parallel to the drawing direction. As-drawn wire was observed to have a lower magnetic permeability and larger hysteresis than DC annealed wire. This is attributed to the presence of a large volume of crystalline defects; such as vacancies and dislocations. (C) 2013 American Institute of Physics. C1 [Boesenberg, A.

TI A graphene solution to conductivity mismatch: Spin injection from ferromagnetic metal/graphene tunnel contacts into silicon SO JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 12th Joint MMM-Intermag Conference CY JAN 14-18, 2013 CL Chicago, IL SP AIP Publishing, IEEE Magnet Soc ID N-TYPE SILICON; RESONANCE LINEWIDTH; SPINTRONICS; LOGIC AB Spin-injection into silicon from a ferromagnetic metal requires a solution to the conductivity mismatch. Oxide tunnel barriers such as MgO, Al2O3, or SiO2 are typically used to solve this problem, but often include defects and must be several monolayers thick to avoid pinholes. At these thicknesses, the overall tunnel-barrier becomes highly resistive, preventing these junctions to be used in devices based on local magnetoresistance. Besides providing a spin dependent interface resistance, these barriers also prevent metal ions from diffusing into silicon, which would severely compromise device performance. Here, we show that we can lower the junction resistance by 2-3 orders of magnitude when using a single layer of graphene as the tunnel barrier rather than SiO2 or Al2O3. Hanle measurements show that the spin lifetime is independent of the tunnel barrier material (graphene, Al2O3, SiO2), demonstrating that the lifetime measured is not dominated by some characteristics of the tunnel barrier. The graphene provides a highly uniform barrier, with well-controlled thickness and minimal defect and trapped charge density, while successfully circumventing the conductivity mismatch between a ferromagnetic metal and Si and preventing metal ion diffusion from the FM contact.

The objective of this longitudinal investigation was to identify predictors of psychiatric disorders among Marines who deployed to combat in Iraq and Afghanistan. Methods: The study sample consisted of 1113 Marines who had deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan. Demographic and psychosocial predictor variables from a survey that all Marines in the sample had completed were studied in relation to subsequent psychiatric diagnoses. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to determine the influence of the predictors on the occurrence of psychiatric disorders. Results: In a sample of Marines with no previous psychiatric disorder diagnoses, 18% were diagnosed with a new-onset psychiatric disorder. Adjusting for other variables, the strongest predictors of overall psychiatric disorders were female gender, mild traumatic brain injury symptoms, and satisfaction with leadership. Service members who expressed greater satisfaction with leadership were about half as likely to develop a mental disorder as those who were not satisfied. Unique predictors of specific types of mental disorders were also identified. Conclusions: Overall, the study's most relevant result was that two potentially modifiable factors, low satisfaction with leadership and low organizational commitment, predicted mental disorder diagnoses in a military sample. Additional research should aim to clarify the nature and impact of these factors on combatant mental health.

Here, we formulate a time-delay model of protein translation and mRNA degradation by systematically reducing a detailed mechanistic model that explicitly accounts for the ribosomal dynamics and the cleaving of mRNA by endonucleases. We exploit various technical and conceptual advantages that our time-delay model offers over the mechanistic model to probe the behavior of a self-repressing gene over wide regions of parameter space. We show that a heuristic time-delay model of protein synthesis of a commonly used form yields a notably different prediction for the parameter region where sustained oscillations occur. This suggests that such heuristics can lead to erroneous results. The functional forms that arise from our systematic reduction can be used for every system that involves transcription and translation and they could replace the commonly used heuristic time-delay models for these processes. The results from our analysis have important implications for the design of synthetic gene networks and stress that such design must be guided by a combination of heuristic models and mechanistic models that include all relevant details of the process.

The observed instability under mechanical compression is attributable to a ferroelectric rhombohedral F-R-ferroelectric orthorhombic F-O phase transformation. The associated strain is a function of proximity to MPB and is consistent with the prediction of the classical Devonshire theory. Isothermal resonance-antiresonance frequency sweeps versus temperature revealed a non-vertical MPB with (partial derivative T-RT/partial derivative x)<0, where T-RT is the rhombohedral-tetragonal transition temperature. These results provide insights into the role of PT content on the stability of PIN-PMN-PT crystals used for electromechanical devices and sound projectors.

Herein, for the first time, the curing of a cyanate ester via thermal frontal polymerization is described with two different external heat sources. However, issues of bubbling due to vaporization of the amine catalyst generally resulted in incomplete frontal polymerization when a soldering iron was used as the external heat source. To counter this issue, dual-strip polymerization systems were used, wherein the heat from the exothermic polymerization of a free-radical system was used to initiate the frontal polymerization of a cyanate ester system with an amine catalyst. As a result, complete frontal polymerization occurred. Additionally, the effect of the width of the acrylate strip and its impact on the front temperature, initial velocity, and steady-state velocity of the adjacent cyanate ester system were studied.

However, no study to date has determined the underlying physiological and biogeochemical trait(s) that are responsible for mounding coral holobiont resilience to bleaching. Furthermore, the potential of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) as a source of fixed carbon to bleached corals has never been determined. Here, Porites lobata corals were experimentally bleached for 23 days and then allowed to recover for 0, 1, 5, and 11 months. At each recovery interval a suite of analyses were performed to assess their recovery (photosynthesis, respiration, chlorophyll a, energy reserves, tissue biomass, calcification, delta C-13 of the skeletal, delta C-13, and delta N-15 of the animal host and endosymbiont fractions). Furthermore, at 0 months of recovery, the assimilation of photosynthetically acquired and zooplankton-feeding acquired carbon into the animal host, endosymbiont, skeleton, and coral-mediated DOC were measured via C-13-pulse-chase labeling. During the first month of recovery, energy reserves and tissue biomass in bleached corals were maintained despite reductions in chlorophyll a, photosynthesis, and the assimilation of photosynthetically fixed carbon. At the same time, P. lobata corals catabolized carbon acquired from zooplankton and seemed to take up DOC as a source of fixed carbon. All variables that were negatively affected by bleaching recovered within 5 to 11 months. Thus, bleaching resilience in the mounding coral P. lobata is driven by its ability to actively catabolize zooplankton-acquired carbon and seemingly utilize DOC as a significant fixed carbon source, facilitating the maintenance of energy reserves and tissue biomass. With the frequency and intensity of bleaching events expected to increase over the next century, coral diversity on future reefs may favor not only mounding morphologies but species like P. lobata, which have the ability to utilize heterotrophic sources of fixed carbon that minimize the impact of bleaching and promote fast recovery.

It is shown that every ergodic invariant measure (finite or "regular" infinite) is obtained by an extension from a simple subdiagram. We further investigate quantitative properties of these measures, which are mainly determined by the asymptotic behavior of products of incidence matrices. A number of sufficient conditions for unique ergodicity are obtained. One of these is a condition of exact finite rank, which parallels a similar notion in measurable dynamics. Several examples illustrate the broad range of possible behavior of finite rank diagrams and invariant measures on them. We then prove that the Vershik map on the path space of an exact finite rank diagram cannot be strongly mixing, independent of the ordering. On the other hand, for the so-called "consecutive" ordering, the Vershik map is not strongly mixing on all finite rank diagrams.

TI Crackle Noise in Heated Supersonic Jets SO JOURNAL OF ENGINEERING FOR GAS TURBINES AND POWER-TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASME LA English DT Article ID SIMULATION AB Crackle noise from heated supersonic jets is characterized by the presence of strong positive pressure impulses resulting in a strongly skewed far-field pressure signal. These strong positive pressure impulses are associated with N-shaped waveforms involving a shocklike compression and, thus, is very annoying to observers when it occurs. Unlike broadband shock-associated noise which dominates at upstream angles, crackle reaches a maximum at downstream angles associated with the peak jet noise directivity. Recent experiments (Martens et al., 2011, "The Effect of Chevrons on Crackle-Engine and Scale Model Results," Proceedings of the ASME Turbo Expo, Paper No. GT2011-46417) have shown that the addition of chevrons to the nozzle lip can significantly reduce crackle, especially in full-scale high-power tests. Because of these observations, it was conjectured that crackle is associated with coherent large scale flow structures produced by the baseline nozzle and that the formation of these structures are interrupted by the presence of the chevrons, which leads to noise reduction. In particular, shocklets attached to large eddies are postulated as a possible aerodynamic mechanism for the formation of crackle. In this paper, we test this hypothesis through a high-fidelity large-eddy simulation (LES) of a hot supersonic jet of Mach number 1.56 and a total temperature ratio of 3.65. We use the LES solver CHARLES developed by Cascade Technologies, Inc., to capture the turbulent jet plume on fully-unstructured meshes.

TI Extremes of Nonlinear Vibration: Comparing Models Based on Moments, L-Moments, and Maximum Entropy SO JOURNAL OF OFFSHORE MECHANICS AND ARCTIC ENGINEERING-TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASME LA English DT Article ID LINEAR-SYSTEMS AB Wind and wave loads on offshore structures show nonlinear effects, which require non-Gaussian statistical models. Here we critically review the behavior of various non-Gaussian models. We first survey moment-based models; in particular, the four-moment "Hermite" model, a cubic transformation often used in wind and wave applications. We then derive an "L-Hermite" model, an alternative cubic transformation calibrated by the response "L-moments" rather than its ordinary statistical moments. These L-moments have recently found increasing use, in part because they show less sensitivity to distribution tails than ordinary moments. We find here, however, that these L-moments may not convey sufficient information to accurately estimate extreme response statistics. Finally, we show that four-moment maximum entropy models, also applied in the literature, may be inappropriate to model broader-than-Gaussian cases (e. g., responses to wind and wave loads).

TI Optimized sensor placement for damage parameter estimation: Experimental results for a cracked plate SO STRUCTURAL HEALTH MONITORING-AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE Bayesian statistics; plate vibration; crack identification; sensor optimization; experimental ID STRUCTURAL DAMAGE; INFORMATION; IDENTIFICATION; VIBRATION; LOCATION AB In this article, the optimum sensor and impact locations, for use in a damage identification experiment, are obtained using a hybrid genetic algorithm/steepest descent optimization method. Specifically, data from these optimum locations are used to identify the location, orientation, and size of a crack (termed the crack parameters) in a rectangular plate. The strain gage locations and orientations were selected in order (a) to maximize the difference between the model signal for a healthy plate and the model signal for a randomly damaged plate and (b) to minimize the cross-correlation among the signals measured by each of the gages. The latter requirement, in a sense, maximizes the uniqueness of the information measured from each sensor. The Bayesian model-based structural health monitoring identification technique, used to assess the crack parameters, was previously shown to be successful even for arbitrary sensor location/orientation and excitation location. It is shown here that thoughtful (optimized) sensor and excitation locations allow for improved estimates of the crack parameters. However, there is no substantial change in the width of the confidence intervals associated with these estimates.

Current speeds over 2.0 m s(-1) are observed under major TCs with the strongest mean currents to the right of the storm track. This study provides the characterization of the near-surface velocity response to all recorded TCs, and agrees roughly with Geisler's theory (1970). Our observations also verify earlier modeling results of Price (1983).

The first phase consists of frequency-dependent characterization of the wave field in which dominant frequencies are estimated by Fourier transform while corresponding wave numbers are derived from spatial gradients in cross-spectral phase over analysis tiles that can be small, allowing high-spatial resolution. Coherent spatial structures at each frequency are extracted by frequency-dependent empirical orthogonal function (EOF). In phase two, depths are found that best fit weighted sets of frequency-wave number pairs. These are subsequently smoothed in time in phase 3 using a Kalman filter that fills gaps in coverage and objectively averages new estimates of variable quality with prior estimates. Objective confidence intervals are returned. Tests at Duck, NC, using 16 surveys collected over 2 years showed a bias and root-mean-square (RMS) error of 0.19 and 0.51 m, respectively but were largest near the offshore limits of analysis (roughly 500m from the camera) and near the steep shoreline where analysis tiles mix information from waves, swash and static dry sand. Performance was excellent for small waves but degraded somewhat with increasing wave height. Sand bars and their small-scale alongshore variability were well resolved. A single ground truth survey from a dissipative, low-sloping beach (Agate Beach, OR) showed similar errors over a region that extended several kilometers from the camera and reached depths of 14 m. Vector wave number estimates can also be incorporated into data assimilation models of nearshore dynamics. C1 [Holman, Rob] Oregon State Univ, CEOAS, Corvallis, OR 97331 USA.

Wilson-Hodge, Colleen TI Radio signals from electron beams in terrestrial gamma ray flashes SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-SPACE PHYSICS LA English DT Article DE gamma-ray; lightning; radio; Fermi GBM; WWLLN ID LIGHTNING LOCATION NETWORK AB We show that the rate of association between terrestrial gamma ray flashes (TGFs) observed by the Fermi gamma ray burst monitor and VLF discharges detected by the World Wide Lightning Location Network (WWLLN) depends strongly on the duration of the TGF, with the shortest TGFs having associated WWLLN events over 50% of the time, and the longest TGFs showing a less than 10% match rate. This correlation is stronger if one excludes the WWLLN discharges that are not simultaneous (within 200 mu s) with the TGF. We infer that the simultaneous VLF discharges are from the relativistic electron avalanches that are responsible for the flash of gamma rays and the nonsimultaneous VLF discharges are from related intracloud lightning strokes. The distributions of far-field radiated VLF stroke energy measured by WWLLN for the simultaneous and nonsimultaneous discharges support the hypothesis of two discrete populations of VLF signals associated with TGFs, with the simultaneous discharges among the strongest measured by WWLLN.

This paper presents the first results from the coupled model on the investigation of a prompt penetration electric field (PPEF) event that took place on 9 November 2004. The coupled model eliminates two major upper boundary limitations of the stand-alone TIMEGCM, e.g., the upper boundary height and the prescribed O+ fluxes at the upper boundary. It is found that the F-layer peak height is raised above 800 km in response to the large PPEF. The O+ fluxes in the top ionosphere vary drastically during the course of the PPEF, with strong upward and downward fluxes with a magnitude greater than 10(9) cm(-2) s(-1) in localized regions. For the first time, the coupled model allows us to simulate and visualize the super-fountain effect on a global scale. Future model development is also envisaged, including the implementation of a more realistic magnetic field model and a fully two-way coupling between neutrals and ions.

Cells of strain MV-1(T) were Gram-negative, and vibrioid to helicoid in morphology. Cells were motile by means of a single polar flagellum. The cells appeared to display a transitional state between axial and polar magnetotaxis: cells swam in both directions, but generally had longer excursions in one direction than the other. Cells possessed a single chain of magnetosomes containing truncated hexaoctahedral crystals of magnetite, positioned along the long axis of the cell. Strain MV-1(T) was a microaerophile that was also capable of anaerobic growth on some nitrogen oxides. Salinities greater than 10% seawater were required for growth. Strain MV-1(T) exhibited chemolithoautotrophic growth on thiosulfate and sulfide with oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor (microaerobic growth) and on thiosulfate using nitrous oxide (N2O) as the terminal electron acceptor (anaerobic growth). Chemo-organoautotrophic and methylotrophic growth was supported by formate under microaerobic conditions. Autotrophic growth occurred via the Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle. Chemo-organoheterotrophic growth was supported by various organic acids and amino acids, under microaerobic and anaerobic conditions. Optimal growth occurred at pH 7.0 and 26-28 degrees C. The genome of strain MV-1(T) consisted of a single, circular chromosome, about 3.7 Mb in size, with a G+C content of 52.9-53.5 molok. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain MV-1(T) belongs to the family Rhodospirillaceae within the Alphaproteobacteria, but is not closely related to the genus Magnetospirillum. The name Magnetovibrio blakemorei gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed for strain MV-1(T). The type strain of Magnetovibrio blakemorei is MV-1(T) (=ATCC BAA-1436(T) =DSM 18854(T)).

The analysis includes microwave frequencies from 6 to 40GHz and applies to the lower frequency channels of conically scanning, space-based radiometers such as AMSR-E, SSMI, SSMIS, and WindSat. The analysis demonstrates that frequency passband characteristics can have significant effects on the brightness temperatures for microwave imaging channels. The largest effects are due to shifts in the center frequency of the passband. The imaging channels near the water vapor resonance at 22.235GHz are most sensitive to passband characteristics. The effects for these channels depend on the water vapor in the scene. C1 [Bettenhausen, Michael H.; Adams, Ian S.] USN, Res Lab, Remote Sensing Div, Washington, DC 20375 USA.

The ground-based system, the Naval Research Laboratory Focused Phased Array Imaging Radar (FOPAIR), mimics an MSAR with multiple apertures arrayed in the flight direction by rapidly and repeatedly scanning across a linear array of 64 antenna elements. This generates a virtually unlimited time stack of coherent images in the same way that an airborne MSAR generates multiple images as the antennas fly past the scene. By manipulating a single FOPAIR data set, both undistorted "benchmark" imagery and distorted images corresponding to an airborne MSAR can be generated. More significantly, the time stack of emulated MSAR images can be processed further using the velocity synthetic aperture radar (VSAR) technique to significantly reduce the well-known but seemingly unavoidable distortions caused by surface wave motion. In this paper, VSAR is demonstrated experimentally for the first time using FOPAIR imagery of a small boat. MSAR systems with a wide range of aperture numbers are emulated, including the special case of a two-aperture system, commonly known as an along-track interferometric SAR. The results emphasize that VSAR processing does not require a long surface coherence time to produce fine-resolution imagery, unlike a single-channel SAR. The results also illustrate some limitations of VSAR as a means to measure velocity and produce high-fidelity imagery of dynamic ocean scenes. C1 Naval Res Lab, Washington, DC 20375 USA.

Previously, a similar experimental study was conducted to collect pressure and temperature magnitudes at locations far downstream of the nozzle. The focus of this work was the characterization of the nozzle near field. To provide some flexibility for future analysis the primary goal was the development of a computational-fluid-dynamics model of the plume that could be probed for additional data of interest. To validate the model a series of experiments were conducted, some of which required custom hardware, to collect the pressure and temperature data at locations as close as 1.5 m from the nozzle. The predicted stagnation pressures were found to compare well with experimental results. To provide a measure of the temperature within the plume a multiwavelength pyrometer was used, and predicted results were also found to be in reasonable agreement.

TI Sign-reversal of the in-plane resistivity anisotropy in hole-doped iron pnictides SO NATURE COMMUNICATIONS LA English DT Article ID HIGH-TEMPERATURE SUPERCONDUCTIVITY; ELECTRONIC NEMATICITY; TRANSITION; SCATTERING AB Unconventional superconductivity usually originates from several strongly coupled degrees of freedom, such as magnetic, charge and elastic. A highly anisotropic electronic phase, not driven by lattice degrees of freedom, has been proposed in some of these superconductors, from cuprates to iron-based compounds. In the iron pnictide BaFe2As2, this nematic phase arises in the paramagnetic phase and is present for wide doping and temperature ranges. Here we probe the in-plane electronic anisotropy of electron-and hole-doped BaFe2As2 compounds. Unlike other materials, the resistivity anisotropy behaves very differently for electron- and hole-type dopants and even changes sign on the hole-doped side. This behaviour is explained by Fermi surface reconstruction in the magnetic phase and spin-fluctuation scattering in the paramagnetic phase. This unique transport anisotropy unveils the primary role played by magnetic scattering, demonstrating the close connection between magnetism, nematicity and unconventional superconductivity.

There are two political parties, and the electoral votes in each state go to the party that spends the most money there, with an adjustment for a "head start" that one party or the other may have in that state. The states have unequal numbers of electoral votes, and elections are decided by majority rules. Each party has a known budget, and much depends on the information that informs how that budget is spent. Three situations are considered: (1) one party's spending plan is known to the other, (2) spending is gradually revealed as the parties spend continuously in time, and (3) neither side knows anything about the other's spending. The last situation resembles a Blotto game, hence the title. C1 Naval Postgrad Sch, Dept Operat Res, Monterey, CA 93943 USA.

TI A Graph Patrol Problem with Random Attack Times SO OPERATIONS RESEARCH LA English DT Article ID RESTLESS BANDITS; INDEX POLICIES; SEARCH GAMES; AMBUSH GAME; ALLOCATION; MODEL AB This paper presents a patrol problem, where a patroller traverses a graph through edges to detect potential attacks at nodes. To design a patrol policy, the patroller needs to take into account not only the graph structure, but also the different attack time distributions, as well as different costs incurred due to successful attacks, at different nodes. We consider both random attackers and strategic attackers. A random attacker chooses which node to attack according to a probability distribution known to the patroller. A strategic attacker plays a two-person zero-sum game with the patroller. For each case, we give an exact linear program to compute the optimal solution. Because the linear programs quickly become computationally intractable as the problem size grows, we develop index-based heuristics. In the random-attacker case, our heuristic is optimal when there are two nodes, and in a suitably chosen asymptotic regime. In the strategic-attacker case, our heuristic is optimal when there are two nodes if the attack times are deterministic taking integer values. In our numerical experiments, our heuristic typically achieves within 1% of optimality with computation time orders of magnitude less than what is required to compute the optimal policy.

We obtain estimators of an optimal solution and the optimal value of the original stochastic program after executing a finite number of iterations of an optimization algorithm applied to the sample average problem. We examine the convergence rate of the estimators as the computing budget tends to infinity, and we characterize the allocation policies that maximize the convergence rate in the case of sublinear, linear, and superlinear convergence regimes for the optimization algorithm.

Each dolphin was trained a behavior requiting it to swim across an enclosure, touch a paddle, and return to the starting location. Ten-trial control and exposure sessions were performed with each dolphin. Dolphins were placed into one of five groups, each of which received a 115, 130, 145, 160, 175 or 185 dB re 1 mu Pa (rms) sound pressure level (SPL) exposure while crossing the enclosure on exposure trials. A canonical correlation analysis was used to determine the set of behavioral responses most interrelated with the independent variables of exposure level, trial number, and age. Responses that significantly contributed to the canonical model were used to create dose-response functions based on the received SPL. Doe-response functions demonstrated a robust relationship between received SPL and the probability of response and indicated rapid habituation to repetitive exposures with received SPL <= 160 dB. No habituation was observed at received SPL >= 175 dB re 1 mu Pa and all dolphins refused to participate in trials when the received SPL = 185 dB re 1 mu Pa. Although bottlenose dolphins may rapidly habituate to sound exposures below a certain level, particularly if there is food motivation, abandonment of behaviors increases rapidly at received levels >= 175 dB re 1 mu Pa. 2013 Elsevier B.V.

TI The LWA1 Radio Telescope SO IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON ANTENNAS AND PROPAGATION LA English DT Article DE Antenna array; beamforming; radio astronomy ID ACTIVE ANTENNA; LOW-FREQUENCY; SYSTEM; ARRAY AB LWA1 is a new radio telescope operating in the frequency range 10-88 MHz, located in central New Mexico. The telescope consists of 258 pairs of dipole-type antennas whose outputs are individually digitized and formed into beams. Simultaneously, signals from all dipoles can be recorded using one of the instrument's "all dipoles" modes, facilitating all-sky imaging. Notable features of the instrument include high intrinsic sensitivity (approximate to 6 kJy zenith system equivalent flux density), large instantaneous bandwidth (up to 78 MHz), and four independently steerable beams utilizing digital "true time delay" beamforming. This paper summarizes the design of LWA1 and its performance as determined in commissioning experiments. We describe the method currently in use for array calibration, and report on measurements of sensitivity and beamwidth. C1 [Ellingson, S. W.; Wolfe, C.

TI User Focus and Simulation Improve Predictions of Piracy Risk SO INTERFACES LA English DT Article DE defense; applications of simulation; design of experiments AB Piracy is an increasingly costly and violent threat to commercial shipping and other vessels off the Horn of Africa. However, because pirates operate in small vessels that cannot navigate or attack in high seas or winds, pirate activity is highly sensitive to environmental conditions. The US Naval Oceanographic Office provides an operational forecast of the pirate threat; counterpiracy forces use this forecast to allocate their efforts over several million square miles. The most recent version uses simulation to model the effects of pirate behavior in interaction with winds, waves, and currents over time to forecast the geographic distribution of the pirate threat. As part of the development of the pirate behavior model, one author traveled to Bahrain to interview counterpiracy forces. We then used carefully designed simulation experiments to identify the variables that are most influential in determining the distribution of predicted pirate activity The results confirmed the importance of elements of the pirate behavior model that were derived from our operator interviews, informed decisions regarding operational settings for key parameters, and generated insights to guide future updates to the model and intelligence-gathering efforts. The resulting model uses our recommendations, including alternate pirate search patterns. It has been operational since March 2011 and is briefed daily to the senior leadership of US Naval Forces Central Command.

Trends in maximum proton energy were observed, as well as evidence of improvement in the acceleration gradients by using dual plasma mirrors over traditional pulse cleaning techniques. Extremely high efficiency acceleration gradients were produced, accelerating both the contaminant layer and high charge state ions from the bulk of the target. Two dimensional particle-in-cell simulations enabled the study of the influence of scale length on submicron targets, where hydrodynamic expansion affects the rear surface as well as the front. Experimental evidence of larger electric fields for sharp density plasmas is observed in simulation results as well for such targets, where target ions are accelerated without the need for contaminant removal.

TI Tracking the momentum flux of a CME and quantifying its influence on geomagnetically induced currents at Earth SO SPACE WEATHER-THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RESEARCH AND APPLICATIONS LA English DT Article DE coronal mass ejections; geomagnetically induced currents ID CORONAL MASS EJECTIONS; GREAT MAGNETIC STORMS; SOLAR-WIND; RING CURRENT; 1 AU; OBSERVATIONAL EVIDENCE; TECHNOLOGICAL SYSTEMS; MHD SIMULATIONS; STEREO MISSION; FIELD AB We investigate a coronal mass ejection (CME) propagating toward Earth on 29 March 2011. This event is specifically chosen for its predominately northward directed magnetic field, so that the influence from the momentum flux onto Earth can be isolated. We focus our study on understanding how a small Earth-directed segment propagates. Mass images are created from the white-light cameras onboard STEREO which are also converted into mass height-time maps (mass J-maps). The mass tracks on these J-maps correspond to the sheath region between the CME and its associated shock front as detected by in situ measurements at L1. A time series of mass measurements from the STEREO COR-2A instrument is made along the Earth propagation direction. Qualitatively, this mass time series shows a remarkable resemblance to the L1 in situ density series. The in situ measurements are used as inputs into a three-dimensional (3-D) magnetospheric space weather simulation from the Community Coordinated Modeling Center. These simulations display a sudden compression of the magnetosphere from the large momentum flux at the leading edge of the CME, and predictions are made for the time derivative of the magnetic field (dB/dt) on the ground. The predicted dB/dt values were then compared with the observations from specific equatorially located ground stations and showed notable similarity. This study of the momentum of a CME from the Sun down to its influence on magnetic ground stations on Earth is presented as a preliminary proof of concept, such that future attempts may try to use remote sensing to create density and velocity time series as inputs to magnetospheric simulations.

However, a significant impediment remains in the subsequent compartmentalization/endosomal sequestration of most of these cargoes. Previous functional screening suggested that a modular peptide originally designed to deliver palmitoyl-protein thioesterase inhibitors to neurons could mediate endosomal escape in cultured cells. Here, we detail properties relevant to this peptide's ability to mediate cytosolic delivery of quantum dots (Os) to a wide range of cell-types, brain tissue culture and a developing chick embryo in a remarkably nontoxic manner. The peptide further facilitated efficient endosomal escape of large proteins, dendrimers and other nanoparticle materials. We undertook an iterative structure-activity relationship analysis of the peptide by discretely modifying key components including length, charge, fatty acid content and their order using a comparative, semiquantitative assay. This approach allowed us to define the key motifs required for endosomal escape, to select more efficient escape sequences, along with unexpectedly identifying a sequence modified by one methylene group that specifically targeted QDs to cellular membranes. We interpret our results within a model of peptide function and highlight Implications for in vivo labeling and nanoparticle-mediated drug delivery by using different peptides to co-deliver cargoes to cells and engage in multifunctional labeling.

Cosmic rays are thought to be accelerated at supernova remnant (SNR) shocks, but obtaining conclusive evidence for this hypothesis is difficult. Aims. New data from ground-based gamma-ray telescopes and the Large Area Telescope on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope are used to test this hypothesis. A simple model for gamma-ray production efficiency is compared with measured gamma-ray luminosities of SNRs, and the GeV to TeV fluxes ratios of SNRs are examined for correlations with SNR ages. Methods. The supernova explosion is modeled as an expanding spherical shell of material that sweeps up matter from the surrounding interstellar medium (ISM). The accumulated kinetic energy of the shell, which provides the energy available for nonthermal particle acceleration, changes when matter is swept up from the ISM and the SNR shell decelerates. A fraction of this energy is assumed to be converted into the energy of cosmic-ray electrons or protons. Three different particle radiation processes - nuclear pion-production interactions, nonthermal electron bremsstrahlung, and Compton scattering - are considered. Results. The efficiencies for gamma-ray production by these three processes are compared with gamma-ray luminosities of SNRs. Our results suggest that SNRs become less gamma-ray luminous at greater than or similar to 10(4) yr, and are consistent with the hypothesis that supernova remnants accelerate cosmic rays with an efficiency of approximate to 10% for the dissipation of kinetic energy into nonthermal cosmic rays. Weak evidence for an increasing GeV to TeV flux ratio with SNR age is found. C1 [Dermer, C. D.; Powale, G.] USN, Div Space Sci, Res Lab, Washington, DC 20375 USA.

Implications for the ONe subclass of classical novae SO ASTRONOMY & ASTROPHYSICS LA English DT Article DE novae, cataclysmic variables; stars: general; line: formation; nuclear reactions, nucleosynthesis, abundances; cosmology: miscellaneous ID ULTRAVIOLET SPECTRAL EVOLUTION; V1974 CYGNI; ELEMENTAL ABUNDANCES; WHITE-DWARF; RS OPHIUCHI; T PYXIDIS; OUTBURST; EJECTA; DUST; MULTIWAVELENGTH AB Aims. Among the classical novae, the ONe subgroup, distinguished by their large overabundance of neon, are thought to occur on the most massive white dwarfs. Nova Mon 2012 was the first classical nova to be detected as a high energy.-ray transient, by Fermi-LAT, before its optical discovery. The first optical spectra obtained about 55 days after.-ray peak, were strikingly similar to the ONe class after the transition to the nebular (optically thin) spectrum. The current paper presents our subsequent optical and ultraviolet observations. Methods. A time sequence of optical echelle spectra (3700-7400 angstrom) with the Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) began on 2012 Aug. 16, immediately following the optical announcement, and are continuing. The nova was observed almost simultaneously with the NOT on 2012 Nov. 21, with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) aboard the Hubble Space Telescope at medium echelle resolution (1150-3050 angstrom) on Nov. 20, and with the CHIRON CTIO/SMARTS echelle spectrograph at medium resolution (4500-8900 angstrom) on Nov. 22. We used plasma diagnostics (e. g. [O III] and H beta line flux) to constrain electron densities and temperatures, and the filling factor, for the ejecta. Using Monte Carlo modeling, we derived the structure from comparisons to the optical and ultraviolet line profiles. We also compared observed fluxes for Nova Mon 2012 with those predicted by photoionization modeling with Cloudy using element abundances derived for other ONe novae, the parameters derived from the line profile modeling and multiwavelength continuum measurements. Results. Nova Mon 2012 is confirmed as an ONe nova first observed spectroscopically in the nebular stage. We derive an extinction of E(B - V) = 0.85 +/- 0.05 and hydrogen column density N-H approximate to 5 x 10(21) cm(-2). The corrected continuum luminosity is nearly the same in the entire observed energy range compared to V1974 Cyg, V382 Mon, and Nova LMC 2000 at the same epoch after outburst. The distance, about 3.6 kpc, is quite similar to V1974 Cyg, suggesting that it would have been equally bright had it been observed at maximum light. The same applies to the line profiles. These can be modeled using an axisymmetric conical - bipolar - geometry for the ejecta with various inclinations of the axis to the line of sight, i, and ejecta inner radii. For Nova Mon 2012, we find that 60 <= i <= 80 degrees, an opening angle of approximate to 70 degrees, and an inner radius Delta R/R(t) approximate to 0.4 matches the permitted and intercombination lines while the forbidden lines require a less filled structure. The filling factor is f approximate to 0.1-0.3, although it may be lower based on the structures observed in the emission line profiles, implying an ejecta mass <= 6 x 10(-5) M-circle dot. The abundances are similar to, but not identical to, V1974 Cyg and V382 Vel. In particular, Ne and Mg are apparently more abundant in Nova Mon 2012. Conclusions. The ONe novae appear to comprise a single physical class with bipolar high mass ejecta, similarly enhanced abundances, and a common spectroscopic evolution within a narrow range of luminosities. The spectral evolution does not require continued mass loss from the post-explosion white dwarf. This also implies that the detected gamma-ray emission is a generic phenomenon, common to all ONe novae, possibly to all classical novae, and connected with acceleration and emission processes within the ejecta.

Methods From February to August 2009, 634 volunteers recruited from nine US Navy submarines completed a survey to collect demographic data, information on tobacco use and pre-deployment exposure to SHS. Non-tobacco users (n=239) were requested to provide two urine samples (pre-deployment and while at sea) to quantify exposure to SHS using urinary cotinine as a biomarker. Matched samples were analysed using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Results Overall, deployed cotinine levels were 2.1 times the in port levels in non-tobacco using submariners (95% CI 1.8 to 2.4, p<0.001, n=197). A significant increase in deployed urinary cotinine levels was found aboard six of nine submarines (p<0.05). A subgroup of submariners (n=91) who reported no SHS exposure within 10 days prior to in port cotinine sampling had deployed cotinine levels 2.7 times the in port levels (95% CI 2.2 to 3.3, p<0.001). Applying a 4.5: 1 urine cotinine to serum cotinine correction factor, submariners' deployed geometric means are similar to recent US male population values at the 75th percentile. Conclusions This study provides evidence that non-tobacco using submariners were exposed to SHS. Exposure was seen in all submarine classes and was not limited to personnel working in proximity to the smoking area. The existing policy was inadequate to protect nonsmokers from exposure to SHS and required revision. As a result of a policy review, informed by this study, smoking below decks was banned aboard all US Navy submarines effective 31 December 2010.

The meridional volume transport of geostrophic currents differed significantly from the classical Sverdrup balance, with differences of 10x10(6)-20x10(6)m(3)/s in the interior tropical Northwest Pacific Ocean. Analyses showed that errors of wind stress estimation could not explain all of the differences. The largest differences were found in the areas immediately north and south of the bifurcation latitude of the North Equatorial Current west of the dateline, and in the recirculation area of the Kuroshio and its extension, where nonlinear eddy activities were robust. Comparison of the geostrophic meridional transport and the wind-driven Sverdrup meridional transport in a high-resolution OFES simulation showed that nonlinear effects of the ocean circulation were the most likely reason for the differences. It is therefore suggested that the linear, steady wind-driven dynamics of the Sverdrup theory cannot completely explain the meridional transport of the interior circulation of the tropical Northwest Pacific Ocean.

The system is based on a numerical adjoint constructed for the discrete forward SWAN code; its performance is compared to that of an earlier system based on a discretized analytical adjoint (Walker; Veeramony et al.). This paper describes the development and validation of individual numerical adjoint subroutines, followed by the testing and evaluation of the assimilation system as a whole with an idealized twin experiment and with data from Duck, North Carolina. In the twin experiment, the present system performs on par with that of Walker. Estimates of wave spectra and spectral statistics also compare well to measured spectral data at Duck, North Carolina. The error in these estimates is partly due to the exclusion of nonlinear source and sink terms from the adjoint and partly due to different spectral processing techniques used for different types of instruments.

The species thus formed are Cr(C6H6)(2), V(C6H6)(2), or Cr(C6H5-CH3)(2) (termed CrBz(2), VBz(2), or Cr(Tol)(2)), and the valence structures have been examined using electron energy loss and ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopies (ELS and UPS). The reaction is "clean" in that there is no indication of side reactions or unwanted by-products, although a small coverage of unreacted TM atoms appears unavoidable. A simple ring substituent (CH3) remains intact during the reaction. Thus, it should be possible to synthesize and study species that are not readily available (or cannot easily be made) in bulk form or that have too low vapor pressure to allow easy in situ deposition. Data have been obtained for VBz(2) and Cr(Tol)(2), the valence structures of which have not previously been studied in detail using UPS and ELS. Although deeper-lying arene orbitals are essentially unperturbed by formation of the bis(arene) TM sandwich, subtle differences in the TM-related orbitals have been observed and discussed in comparison to CrBz(2) with the aid of density functional theory. In the case of VBz(2), clear evidence is seen for a molecular reorientation during annealing, based on the ELS polarization dependence. Electron transfer between an adsorbed bis(arene)TM and graphite depends on the occupancy of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and on its energy relative to the Fermi level (E-F). The small amount of unreacted TM resulting from in situ synthesis causes a large decrease in work function, which shifts the adsorbate HOMO to below E-F and thus impedes electron transfer to highly oriented pyrolytic graphite. This is an obstacle to forming doping layers by this method. C1 USN, Res Lab, Elect Sci & Technol Div, Washington, DC 20375 USA.

During the intensive observation period, three active episodes of large-scale convection associated with the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) propagated eastward across the tropical Indian Ocean. Surface westerly winds near the equator were particularly strong during the events in late November and late December, exceeding 10 m/s. These westerlies generated strong eastward jets (>1 m/s) on the equator. Significant remote ocean responses to the equatorial westerlies were observed in both Northern and Southern Hemispheres in the central and eastern Indian Oceans.

The main observation is to relate the eigenfunctions of the time-reversal operator to the location of small scattering inclusions. For non penetrable sound-soft acoustic scatterers, this observation has been rigorously proved for 2 and 3 dimensions by Hazard and Ramdani in [21] for small scatterers. In this work, we consider the case of small dielectric inclusions with far field measurements. The main difference with the acoustic case is related to the magnetic permeability and the related polarization tensors. We show that in the regime kd -> infinity (k denotes here the wavenumber and d the minimal distance between the scatterers), each inhomogeneity gives rise to -at most- 4 distinct eigenvalues (one due to the electric contrast and three to the magnetic one) while each corresponding eigenfunction generates an incident wave focusing selectively on one of the scatterers. The method has connections to the MUSIC algorithm known in Signal Processing and the Factorization Method of Kirsch.

TI Pathogen-specific Risk of Reactive Arthritis from Bacterial Causes of Foodborne Illness SO JOURNAL OF RHEUMATOLOGY LA English DT Article DE PATHOGEN; REACTIVE ARTHRITIS; FOODBORNE ILLNESS ID UNITED-STATES; DISEASE; AGENTS AB Objective. Reactive arthritis (ReA) is a sequelae of common bacterial infections of acute gastroenteritis. We assessed incidence of ReA following Campylobacter,, Salmonella, Shigella, or Yersinia infection utilizing a US Department of Defense medical database. Methods. Subjects with acute gastroenteritis attributed to these pathogens were matched with 4 unexposed subjects. Medical history was analyzed for 6 months postinfection to assess for incident ReA. Results. A total of 1753 cases of gastroenteritis were identified. ReA incidence ranged from 0 to 4 per 100,000 person-years. Conclusion. These data are consistent with prior studies and highlight the need for continued primary prevention efforts.

TI Assessment of Postoperative Analgesia after Application of Ultrasound-Guided Regional Anesthesia for Surgery in a Swine Femoral Fracture Model SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR LABORATORY ANIMAL SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID PERIPHERAL-NERVE BLOCKS; VISUAL ANALOG SCALE; SCIATIC-NERVE; BRACHIAL-PLEXUS; INTRANEURAL INJECTION; YOUNG-PIGS; PAIN; BUPRENORPHINE; DOGS; BUPIVACAINE AB Management of pain in research swine used for studies involving painful procedures is a considerable challenge. Here we assessed whether a regional anesthesia method is effective for pain control of hindlimb injuries in pigs used for research in bone fracture healing. For this randomized controlled study, we administered regional anesthesia before an experimental femoral injury was produced. Using ultrasound guidance, we placed sterile infusion catheters near the sciatic and femoral nerves and administered local anesthetic (bupivacaine) for the first 24 h after surgery. We evaluated various behavioral and physiologic parameters to test the hypothesis that this regional anesthesia would provide superior analgesia compared with systemic analgesia alone. We also collected blood samples to evaluate serum levels of cortisol and fentanyl postoperatively. At the end of the study period, we collected sciatic and femoral nerves and surrounding soft tissues for histopathologic evaluation. Treatment pigs had lower subjective pain scores than did control animals. Control pigs had a longer time to first feed consumption and required additional analgesia earlier in the postoperative period than did treatment pigs. Ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia is a viable and effective adjunct to systemic analgesics for providing pain control in swine with experimental femoral fractures.

The approximate to 1.5 nm diameter AuNCs fluoresce at approximate to 820 nm with quantum yields that range from 4-8%, depending on the terminal functional group present, and display average luminescence lifetimes approaching 1.5 s. The two-photon absorption (TPA) cross-section and two-photon excited fluorescence (TPEF) properties are also measured. Long-term testing shows the poly(ethylene glycol) stabilized AuNCs maintain colloidal stability in a variety of media ranging from saline to tissue culture growth medium along with tolerating storage of up to 2 years. DNA and dye-conjugation reactions confirm that the carboxyl, amine, and azide groups can be utilized on the AuNCs for carbodiimide, succinimidyl ester, and CuI-assisted cycloaddition chemistry, respectively. High signal-to-noise one- and two-photon cellular imaging is demonstrated. The AuNCs exhibit outstanding photophysical stability during continuous-extended imaging. Concomitant cellular viability testing shows that the AuNCs also elicit minimal cytotoxicity. Further biological applications for these luminescent nanoclustered materials are discussed.

TI Crotaline Fab Antivenom Reverses Platelet Dysfunction Induced by Crotalus scutulatus Venom: An In Vitro Study SO ACADEMIC EMERGENCY MEDICINE LA English DT Article ID MOHAVE RATTLESNAKE; THROMBOCYTOPENIA; AGGREGATION AB Background Patients sustaining rattlesnake envenomation often develop thrombocytopenia, the etiology of which is not clear. Laboratory studies have demonstrated that venom from several species, including the Mojave rattlesnake(Crotalus scutulatus scutulatus), can inhibit platelet aggregation. In humans, administration of crotaline Fab antivenom has been shown to result in transient improvement of platelet levels; however, it is not known whether platelet aggregation also improves after antivenom administration. Objectives The objective was to determine the effect of C. scutulatus venom on platelet aggregation in vitro in the presence and absence of crotaline Fab antivenom. Methods Blood was obtained from four healthy male adult volunteers not currently using aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or other platelet-inhibiting agents. C. scutulatus venom from a single snake with known type B (hemorrhagic) activity was obtained from the National Natural Toxins Research Center. Measurement of platelet aggregation by an aggregometer was performed using five standard concentrations of epinephrine (a known platelet aggregator) on platelet-rich plasma over time, and a mean area under the curve (AUC) was calculated. Five different sample groups were measured: 1) blood alone, 2) blood + C. scutulatus venom (0.3mg/mL), 3) blood + crotaline Fab antivenom (100mg/mL), 4) blood + venom + antivenom (100mg/mL), and 5) blood + venom + antivenom (4mg/mL). Standard errors of the mean (SEM) were calculated for each group, and paired t-tests were used to measure differences between groups. Results Antivenom administration by itself (group 2) did not significantly affect platelet aggregation compared to baseline (103.8%, SEM +/- 3.4%, p=0.47). Administration of venom (group 3) decreased platelet aggregation (72.0%, SEM +/- 8.5%, p<0.05). Concentrated antivenom administration in the presence of venom (group 4) normalized platelet aggregation (101.4%, SEM +/- 6.8%) and in the presence of diluted antivenom (group 5) significantly increased aggregation (133.9%, SEM +/- 9.0%; p<0.05 for both groups when compared to the venom-only group). To further assess the effects of the venom and antivenom, each was run independently in platelet-rich plasma without epinephrine; neither was found to significantly alter platelet aggregation in the absence of epinephrine. Conclusions Crotaline Fab antivenom improved platelet aggregation in an in vitro model of platelet dysfunction induced by venom from C. scutulatus. It is unclear at this time whether this improvement in platelet dysfunction translates into improved clinical outcomes in envenomated patients.

Methods: A total of 70 consecutive patients were reviewed in a retrospective, multicenter (2 institutions) study evaluating prospectively collected data. Fifty-three patients, with a mean age of 37.5 years (range, 16.2 to 44.9 years), were available for follow-up at a mean of 35.8 months (range, 13.8 to 59.1 months). Exclusion criteria included patients with revision procedures, repair of partial tears, and follow-up of less than 12 months. Follow-up evaluation included physical examination with dynamometer strength testing and clinical outcome measures including the Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, Constant-Murley score, pain score on a visual analog scale, and Simple Shoulder Test score. Results: A total of 60% of the patients (32 of 53) had a traumatic etiology, with 38% (12 of 32) of these related to an athletic event. Of the tears, 36 (68%) were medium tears. Concomitant procedures performed at the time of rotator cuff repair included acromioplasty (51), biceps tenodesis or tenotomy (24), distal clavicle excision (10), anteroinferior stabilization (2), and labral repair (1). The mean postoperative ASES score was 84.6 (range, 21.6 to 100.0), with 2 patients recording ASES scores of less than 50 (21.7 and 41.7) at final follow-up. In the 38 patients available for clinical follow-up examination, forward flexion improved from 158.7 degrees (range, 45 degrees to 180 degrees) to 168.4 degrees (range, 120 degrees to 180 degrees) (P = .014). At the time of follow-up, no patients had undergone revision surgery. On the basis of poor clinical outcome scores, 2 patients (4.0%) were considered failures. Conclusions: Arthroscopic primary rotator cuff repair of full-thickness tears in patients aged younger than 45 years results in improved outcomes with regard to pain, subjective patient satisfaction, and shoulder function. Level of Evidence: Level IV, therapeutic case series.

In addition to monitoring contaminants, there is an associated need for monitoring chemical processes that are for deactivation or assistance in the removal of water contaminants. Iron and manganese are two naturally occurring water contaminants, where iron is in general at much higher concentrations. Correspondingly, a process that is highly effective for assisting filtration of water contaminants, including iron and manganese, is the addition in solution of Ozone, i.e., the preozonation process. The present study uses density functional theory (DFT) for the calculation of ground-state resonance structure associated with Fe water complexes interacting with Ozone in solution. The calculations presented are for excitation by electromagnetic waves at frequencies within the THz range. Dielectric response functions can provide for different types of analyses concerning water contaminants. In particular, dielectric response functions can provide quantitative initial estimates of spectral response features for subsequent adjustment with respect to additional information such as laboratory measurements and other types of theory-based calculations. In addition, with respect to qualitative analysis, DFT-calculated absorption spectra provide for molecular level interpretation of response structure. The DFT software GAUSSIAN was used for the calculations of ground-state resonance structure presented in this article. C1 [Huang, L.; Lambrakos, S. G.] USN, Res Lab, Washington, DC 20375 USA.

TI The Military Health System: A Community of Solutions for Medical Education, Health Care Delivery, and Public Health SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN BOARD OF FAMILY MEDICINE LA English DT Article DE Community Medicine; Delivery of Health Care; Medical Education; Military Medicine; Public Health AB Multiple strategies have been proposed to improve health care in the United States. These include the development of communities of solution (COSs), implementation of patient-centered medical homes (PCMHs), and lengthening family medicine residency training. There is scant literature on how to build and integrate these ideal models of care, and no literature about how to build a model of care integrating all 3 strategies is available. The Military Health System has adopted the PCMH model and will offer some 4-year family medicine residency positions starting in 2013. Lengthening residency training to 4 years represents an unprecedented opportunity to weave experiential COS instruction throughout a family physician's graduate medical education, providing future family physicians the skills needed to foster a COS in their future practice. This article describes our COS effort to synergize 3 aspects of modern military medicine: self-defined community populations, the transition to the PCMH model, and the initiation of the 4-year length of training pilot program in family medicine residency training. In this way we provide a starting point and general how-to guide that can be used to create a COS integrated with other current concepts in medicine.

TI Isotopic and chemical variation of organic nanoglobules in primitive meteorites SO METEORITICS & PLANETARY SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID INTERPLANETARY DUST PARTICLES; TAGISH LAKE METEORITE; CARBONACEOUS CHONDRITES; MURCHISON METEORITE; SOLAR-SYSTEM; INTERSTELLAR CHEMISTRY; AROMATIC-HYDROCARBONS; PRESOLAR GRAPHITE; NITROGEN ISOTOPE; N-14/N-15 RATIO AB Organic nanoglobules are microscopic spherical carbon-rich objects present in chondritic meteorites and other astromaterials. We performed a survey of the morphology, organic functional chemistry, and isotopic composition of 184 nanoglobules in insoluble organic matter (IOM) residues from seven primitive carbonaceous chondrites. Hollow and solid nanoglobules occur in each IOM residue, as well as globules with unusual shapes and structures. Most nanoglobules have an organic functional chemistry similar to, but slightly more carboxyl-rich than, the surrounding IOM, while a subset of nanoglobules have a distinct, highly aromatic functionality. The range of nanoglobule N isotopic compositions was similar to that of nonglobular 15N-rich hotspots in each IOM residue, but nanoglobules account for only about one third of the total 15N-rich hotspots in each sample. Furthermore, many nanoglobules in each residue contained no 15N enrichment above that of bulk IOM. No morphological indicators were found to robustly distinguish the highly aromatic nanoglobules from those that have a more IOM-like functional chemistry, or to distinguish 15N-rich nanoglobules from those that are isotopically normal. The relative abundance of aromatic nanoglobules was lower, and nanoglobule diameters were greater, in more altered meteorites, suggesting the creation/modification of IOM-like nanoglobules during parent-body processing. However, 15N-rich nanoglobules, including many with highly aromatic functional chemistry, likely reflect preaccretionary isotopic fractionation in cold molecular cloud or protostellar environments. These data indicate that no single formation mechanism can explain all of the observed characteristics of nanoglobules, and their properties are likely a result of multiple processes occurring in a variety of environments.

In this operation, order requests arrive continuously, and filled orders are shipped at a specific time each day. The metric links the continuous operation of order fulfillment to the scheduled shipment times. To prescribe goals against the metric, a performance model is developed that incorporates the motivational effect of a goal. Goal-Setting Theory is used to establish the performance goal and to show how to match arriving orders to deadlines based on their arrival times and expected processing times. Monte Carlo simulation on data from a large distribution center is used to demonstrate that setting these two parameters in the light of motivational research yields quite different results than doing so with an intuitive method. Moreover, a motivational goal leads to better operational performance; that is, correctly setting up the metric causes more customers to receive their orders sooner.

It appears that these controllers produce efficient oscillatory command signals by entraining to a resonant gait via sensory feedback. This property is of great interest in the control of autonomous vehicles. In this paper, we experimentally validate synthesized CPG control of tensegrity structures. The prestressed cables in a tensegrity structure provide a method of simultaneous actuation and sensing, analogous to the biological motor control mechanism of regulating muscle stiffness through motoneuron activation and sensing the resulting motion by stretch receptors. A three-cell class-two tensegrity structure is designed, built, and modeled to predict the structure's dynamic response. The models are experimentally validated using open-loop control tests. Next, a simple CPG, called a reciprocal inhibition oscillator (RIO), is designed and synthesized in real time. The RIOs outputs are used as actuation commands, while sensory signals from the tensegrity are fed back to the RIO. Multiple controller configurations are tested to validate an RIO design method developed and reported in a complementary study. Finally, the tensegrity dynamics are perturbed by altering the mass of the tensegrity, and the robustness of RIO control is demonstrated through its ability to entrain to the perturbed system.

It has eight spectral bands with enhanced signal-to-noise ratio to cover the visible-to-near-infrared (V-NIR) domain, thus providing a great potential for remote sensing of coastal ecosystem, in particular, the aquatic environments with shallow bottoms (e. g., coral reefs and seagrass beds). Traditionally, it requires similar to 15 spectral bands in the V-NIR domain for reliable analytical retrieval of bottom properties (e. g., bathymetry) from remotely observed radiance spectrum. Data from WV2, however, have eight bands, and the width of each band is quite wide (similar to 50 nm or more). Thus, the spectral configuration of WV2 is far from optimal for spectral remote sensing of various complex shallow environments, and it is important and necessary to know how such a band setting affects the reliability of remote-sensing retrievals. Here, we applied a hyperspectral optimization scheme [hyperspectral optimization processing exemplar (HOPE)] to a simulated shallow-bottom data set (sandy bottom) and compared retrievals from both hyperspectral and WV2 spectral settings. Retrieved results suggest that, for bottom contribution making up 40% or more of the measured signal, the depths derived from both hyperspectral and WV2 settings are generally consistent for waters shallower than 5 m. However, depths derived with WV2 setting have greater uncertainty and, in general, are shallower than those derived from the hyperspectral setting, particularly for waters deeper than 10 m. Options to produce higher confident properties from such band settings are discussed. C1 [Lee, Zhongping] Univ Massachusetts, Dept Environm Earth & Ocean Sci, Boston, MA 02125 USA.

TI Clinical Outcomes of Arthrodesis and Arthroplasty for the Treatment of Posttraumatic Wrist Arthritis SO JOURNAL OF HAND SURGERY-AMERICAN VOLUME LA English DT Article DE Posttraumatic wrist arthritis; arthroplasty; arthrodesis ID FAILED IMPLANT ARTHROPLASTY; RHEUMATOID-ARTHRITIS; PROSTHESES; SALVAGE; FUSION; PLATE AB Purpose To compare clinical outcomes of wrist arthrodesis and total wrist arthroplasty in the treatment of pancarpal posttraumatic arthritis. We hypothesized that arthroplasty would demonstrate better clinical outcomes than wrist arthrodesis. Methods We performed a retrospective review of 22 patients treated (15 arthrodeses and 7 arthroplasties) for pancarpal posttraumatic arthritis. We measured clinical outcomes with the visual analog pain scale; Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand questionnaire; the Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation; and a study-specific questionnaire. Postoperative complications were recorded from chart review. Results Mean follow-up was 68 months for arthrodesis and 56 months for arthroplasty. The mean visual analog scale pain score was 2 for each group. The mean Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand score was 38 for the arthrodesis group and 29 for the arthroplasty group. The mean Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation was 73 for the arthrodesis group and 31 for the arthroplasty group. The results from the study-specific questionnaire revealed that the majority of patients in both groups were satisfied. Complication rates were similar in both groups. Conclusions Total wrist arthroplasty as an alternative to arthrodesis for the treatment of pancarpal posttraumatic arthritis may offer improved functional outcomes.

The EARs were moored to the bottom at depths between 400 and 800 m. The data acquisition sampling rate was 80 kHz and acoustic signals were recorded for 30 s every 5 min to conserve battery power and disk space. The acoustic data were analyzed with the M3R (Marine Mammal Monitoring on Navy Ranges) software, an energy-ratio-mapping algorithm developed at Oregon State University and custom MATLAB programs. A variety of deep diving odontocetes, including pilot whales, Risso's dolphins, sperm whales, spinner and pan-tropical spotted dolphins, and beaked whales were detected at all sites. Foraging activity typically began to increase after dusk, peaked in the middle of the night and began to decrease toward dawn. Between 70% and 84% of biosonar clicks were detected at night. At present it is not clear why some of the known deep diving species, such as sperm whales and beaked whales, concentrate their foraging efforts at night. (C) 2013 Acoustical Society of America.

This study focused on the detection of visible to near-infrared radiation signatures from molecular fragments of the nitro (NOx) group present in the breakdown plasma, where target chemicals of potassium nitrate (KNO3) and sodium nitrate (NaNO3) were used. Spectral signatures at a wavelength region around 410 nm were observed for both KNO3 and NaNO3, and were identified as the fluorescence transitions of the NOx-molecular structures. The signatures obtained were systematically analyzed and studied as functions of laser parameters. It is shown that for laser parameters used in this study, laser pulse durations >= 1 ps were not as effective as shorter pulses in generating these signatures. A visible wavelength NOx signature and the extended high-intensity propagation of a femtosecond laser could be advantageous to detecting nitro-group energetic materials at standoff distances.

TI GOAL-DRIVEN AUTONOMY FOR RESPONDING TO UNEXPECTED EVENTS IN STRATEGY SIMULATIONS SO COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE LA English DT Article DE goal-driven autonomy; autonomous agents; on-line planning; goal reasoning ID DOMAINS; AGENTS; SYSTEM AB To operate autonomously in complex environments, an agent must monitor its environment and determine how to respond to new situations. To be considered intelligent, an agent should select actions in pursuit of its goals, and adapt accordingly when its goals need revision. However, most agents assume that their goals are given to them; they cannot recognize when their goals should change. Thus, they have difficulty coping with the complex environments of strategy simulations that are continuous, partially observable, dynamic, and open with respect to new objects. To increase intelligent agent autonomy, we are investigating a conceptual model for goal reasoning called Goal-Driven Autonomy (GDA), which allows agents to generate and reason about their goals in response to environment changes. Our hypothesis is that GDA enables an agent to respond more effectively to unexpected events in complex environments. We instantiate the GDA model in ARTUE (Autonomous Response to Unexpected Events), a domain-independent autonomous agent. We evaluate ARTUE on scenarios from two complex strategy simulations, and report on its comparative benefits and limitations. By employing goal reasoning, ARTUE outperforms an off-line planner and a discrepancy-based replanner on scenarios requiring reasoning about unobserved objects and facts and on scenarios presenting opportunities outside the scope of its current mission.

We provide a framework for approximation based on oracles that approximately determine maximally violated constraints. This framework yields a 3-approximation algorithm for computing the least core value of supermodular cost cooperative games, and a polynomial-time algorithm for computing a cost allocation in the 2-approximate least core of these games. This approximation framework extends naturally to submodular profit cooperative games. For scheduling games, a special class of supermodular cost cooperative games, we give a fully polynomial-time approximation scheme for computing the least core value. For matroid profit games, a special class of submodular profit cooperative games, we give exact polynomial-time algorithms for computing the least core value as well as a least core cost allocation.

TI pCO(2) and CO2 exchange during high bora winds in the Northern Adriatic SO JOURNAL OF MARINE SYSTEMS LA English DT Article DE Coastal oceanography; Carbon dioxide; Air-sea exchanges; Winds ID SEA; DYNAMICS AB Episodic high wind events have a potential for significantly mixing surface water partial pressure of CO2 (pCO(2)). Their effect on estimates of air-sea CO2 flux, especially in the coastal ocean, has not been adequately assessed. Here we show the response of surface water pCO(2) and CO2 fluxes during high bora wind in the Northern Adriatic for a range of conditions including: stratified and oversaturated with respect to atmospheric CO2, stratified and undersaturated, and non-stratified and undersaturated. Three representative bora cases of 15-2 day duration with wind speeds over 10 m s(-1) indicate that in all three studied cases, regardless of pre-bora conditions, pCO(2) in the surface water increases by 30-50 mu atm and CO2 flux magnitudes peak up to 4 folds (-22.6 and -24.1 mmol m(-2) day(-1) day in the winter cases and 29 mmol m(-2) day(-1) in the summer case) over the magnitude of the mean annual value. Oceanic data measured simultaneously to surface pCO(2) measurements suggest that the most likely responsible mechanisms for the observed pCO(2) increases were oceanic vertical mixing and/or oceanic horizontal advection. Our study contributes to a very limited set of observations currently available on the biogeochemical response to episodic high wind events in coastal areas and their role in CO2 exchange. In such coastal environments the presence of shallow depths and short horizontal spatial scales of variation facilitate the exchange of pCO(2) both vertically within ocean layers and horizontally across ocean basins, which can then alter air-sea pCO(2) difference across the ocean surface during high wind events and affect gas exchange.

To achieve performance metrics for high actuator density or with limited processing capabilities on spacecraft, a wavelet signal processing technique is advantageous. Previous derivations of this technique have been limited to the Haar wavelet. This paper derives the relationship and algorithms to reconstruct phase with O(n) computational complexity for wavelets with the orthogonal property. This has additional benefits for performance with noise in the measurements. We also provide details on how to handle the boundary condition for telescope apertures.

Strong variability has been observed in gamma-rays, with two major flaring episodes (2009 July and 2010 March) and a harder-when-brighter behaviour, quite common for flat spectrum radio quasars and low-synchrotron-peaked BL Lacertae objects (BL Lacs), in 2010 March. In the same way, the spectral energy distribution (SED) of the source cannot be modelled by a simple synchrotron self-Compton model, as opposed to many BL Lacs, but the addition of an external Compton component of seed photons from a dust torus is needed. The 230 GHz light curve showed an increase simultaneous with the gamma-ray one, indicating co-spatiality of the mm and gamma-ray emission region likely at large distance from the central engine. The low, average, and high activity SED of the source could be fit changing only the electron distribution parameters, but two breaks in the electron distribution are necessary. The ensuing extra spectral break, located at near-infrared (NIR)-optical frequencies, together with that in gamma-rays seem to indicate a common origin, most likely due to an intrinsic feature in the underlying electron distribution. An overall correlation between the gamma-ray band with the R band and K band has been observed with no significant time lag. On the other hand, when inspecting the light curves on short time-scales some differences are evident. In particular, flaring activity has been detected in NIR and optical bands with no evident gamma-ray counterparts in 2009 September and November. Moderate variability has been observed in X-rays with no correlation between flux and photon index. An increase of the detected X-ray flux with no counterpart at the other wavelengths has been observed in 2008 October, suggesting once more a complex correlation between the emission at different energy bands.

Satterfield, Elizabeth A. TI Hidden Error Variance Theory. Part I: Exposition and Analytic Model SO MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW LA English DT Article ID TRANSFORM KALMAN FILTER; ATMOSPHERIC DATA ASSIMILATION; ENSEMBLE PREDICTION; SCHEME; SYSTEM AB A conundrum of predictability research is that while the prediction of flow-dependent error distributions is one of its main foci, chaos fundamentally hides flow-dependent forecast error distributions from empirical observation. Empirical estimation of such error distributions requires a large sample of error realizations given the same flow-dependent conditions. However, chaotic elements of the flow and the observing network make it impossible to collect a large enough conditioned error sample to empirically define such distributions and their variance. Such conditional variances are "hidden." Here, an exposition of the problem is developed from an ensemble Kalman filter data assimilation system applied to a 10-variable nonlinear chaotic model and 25 000 replicate models. The 25 000 replicates reveal the error variances that would otherwise be hidden. It is found that the inverse-gamma distribution accurately approximates the posterior distribution of conditional error variances given an imperfect ensemble variance and provides a reasonable approximation to the prior climatological distribution of conditional error variances. A new analytical model shows how the properties of a likelihood distribution of ensemble variances given a true conditional error variance determine the posterior distribution of error variances given an ensemble variance. The analytically generated distributions are shown to satisfactorily fit empirically determined distributions. The theoretical analysis yields a rigorous interpretation and justification of hybrid error variance models that linearly combine static and flow-dependent estimates of forecast error variance; in doing so, it also helps justify and inform hybrid error covariance models.

Part II: An Instrument That Reveals Hidden Error Variance Distributions from Ensemble Forecasts and Observations SO MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW LA English DT Article ID PREDICTION SYSTEMS; PROBABILISTIC FORECASTS; INFORMATION-THEORY; DRESSING KERNEL; SKILL; SCORE AB In Part I of this study, a model of the distribution of true error variances given an ensemble variance is shown to be defined by six parameters that also determine the optimal weights for the static and flow-dependent parts of hybrid error variance models. Two of the six parameters (the climatological mean of forecast error variance and the climatological minimum of ensemble variance) are straightforward to estimate. The other four parameters are (i) the variance of the climatological distribution of the true conditional error variances, (ii) the climatological minimum of the true conditional error variance, (iii) the relative variance of the distribution of ensemble variances given a true conditional error variance, and (iv) the parameter that defines the mean response of the ensemble variances to changes in the true error variance. These parameters are hidden because they are defined in terms of condition-dependent forecast error variance, which is unobservable if the condition is not sufficiently repeatable. Here, a set of equations that enable these hidden parameters to be accurately estimated from a long time series of (observation minus forecast, ensemble variance) data pairs is presented. The accuracy of the equations is demonstrated in tests using data from long data assimilation cycles with differing model error variance parameters as well as synthetically generated data. This newfound ability to estimate these hidden parameters provides new tools for assessing the quality of ensemble forecasts, tuning hybrid error variance models, and postprocessing ensemble forecasts.

We describe a 26-year-old man who had a traumatic radial nerve injury that resulted in first dorsal interosseous muscle wasting. He presented to our clinic 2.5 years post-injury, after having had unnecessarily undergone surgical exploration of the ulnar nerve. Methods The patient's history, clinical examination, and multiple electrodiagnostic tests were reviewed. Results All findings were consistent with a diagnosis of anomalous innervation via a FromentRauber nerve. Conclusions Understanding this rare phenomenon may aid in diagnosing confusing clinical cases and prevent unnecessary procedures.

He was otherwise asymptomatic at the time of presentation. Blood cultures revealed Gram-negative diplococci, which prompted an MRI that was significant for a hip joint effusion and femoral head bone marrow edema. The patient had no sick contacts and no significant past medical history other than ALL. The patient had been given all recommended childhood vaccinations. Arthrocentesis and needle biopsy of the femoral neck were not diagnostic for malignancy and revealed only mild hip joint inflammation, leading to a diagnosis of osteomyelitis. The organism in the original blood culture was identified as Haemophilus influenzae type b, beta-lactamase negative. Review of the patient's medical records showed a history of complete immunization to Haemophilus influenzae type b. An immunologic evaluation was made to determine if the patient retained immunity from his other vaccinations. Pathogen-specific antibody testing revealed detectable antibodies to polio but not measles, mumps, rubella, varicella-zoster virus, tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis, or hepatitis B. This loss of immunologic memory appears to be a rarely described side effect of ALL chemotherapy. There is currently no protocol to evaluate the immunologic memory of patients who underwent chemotherapy for ALL or to revaccinate them after their treatment. It is unclear whether the loss of immunologic memory is genuinely rare or is underdiagnosed because affected patients are protected by herd immunity.

Radionuclides generally behave like their stable analogs; therefore, medically-derived I-131 is useful as a transport-reaction tracer of anthropogenic inputs and the aquatic biogeochemistry of iodine. Iodine-131 was measured in Potomac River water and sediments in the vicinity of the Blue Plains Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP), Washington, DC, USA. Concentrations measured in sewage effluent from Blue Plains WPCP and in the Potomac River suggest a relatively continuous source of this radionuclide. The range of I-131 concentrations detected in surface water was 0.076 +/- 0.006 to 6.07 +/- 0.07 Bq L-1. Iodine-131 concentrations in sediments ranged from 1.3 +/- 0.8 to 117 +/- 2 Bq kg(-1) dry weight. Partitioning in the sewage effluent from Blue Plains and in surface waters indicated that I-131 is associated with colloidal and particulate organic material. The behavior of medically-derived I-131 in the Potomac River is consistent with the nutrient-like behavior of natural iodine in aquatic environments. After discharge to the river via sewage effluent, it is incorporated into biogenic particulate material and deposited in sediments. Solid phase sediment profiles of I-131 indicated rapid mixing or sedimentation of particulate debris and diagenetic remineralization and recycling on short time scales.

In order for NUCu-140 to be utilized as a structural material, a comprehensive welding strategy must be developed. Since NUCu-140 is a precipitation-strengthened material, this strategy must include a detailed understanding of the precipitate evolution that occurs in the heat-affected zone (HAZ) as a result of welding thermal cycles. A combination of dilatometry, HAZ simulations, and mechanical testing are presented to determine the mechanical properties that develop in the HAZ of NUCu-140. MatCalc kinetic simulations and Russell-Brown strengthening calculations were conducted to model the observed precipitate and mechanical property trends. The microhardness and tensile testing results reveal that local softening is expected in the HAZ of NUCu-140 welds. MatCalc simulations show that a combination of partial dissolution, full dissolution, and re-precipitation of the Cu-rich precipitates is expected to occur in the various HAZ regions. The predicted precipitate parameters are used as input to the Russell-Brown strengthening model to estimate the changes in strength expected due to changes in precipitate features. The measured and predicted strength levels exhibit very good quantitative agreement for the low-heat-input simulations and reasonable qualitative agreement for the high-heat-input weld simulations.

We explored shifting relationships between sexual roles, identities and practices among MSM in Lima, Peru, and implications for HIV/STI prevention. Patterns of HIV/STI epidemiology reflected differential risks for transmission within role-based partnerships with relatively low prevalences of HIV, syphilis, and HSV-2 but higher prevalences of urethral gonorrhea/chlamydia among activo MSM compared with moderno and pasivo participants. Qualitative analysis of how MSM in Peru integrate sexual identities, roles, and practices identified four key themes: pasivo role as a gay approximation of cultural femininity; activo role as a heterosexual consolidation of masculinity; moderno role as a masculine reconceptualization of gay identity; and role-based identities as social determinants of partnership, network, and community formation. The concept of role-based sexual identities provides a framework for HIV prevention for Latin American MSM that integrates sexual identities, practices, partnerships, and networks.

TI Center-Level Utilization of Kidney Paired Donation SO AMERICAN JOURNAL OF TRANSPLANTATION LA English DT Article DE Kidney exchanges ID TRANSPLANTATION; CHAIN; DESENSITIZATION; EXPERIENCE; SIMULATION; PROGRAM AB With many multicenter consortia and a United Network for Organ Sharing program, participation in kidney paired donation (KPD) has become mainstream in the United States and should be feasible for any center that performs live donor kidney transplantation (LDKT). Lack of participation in KPD may significantly disadvantage patients with incompatible donors. To explore utilization of this modality, we analyzed adjusted center-specific KPD rates based on casemix of adult LDKT-eligible patients at 207 centers between 2006 and 2011 using SRTR data. From 2006 to 2008, KPD transplants became more evenly distributed across centers, but from 2008 to 2011 the distribution remained unchanged (Gini coefficient = 0.91 for 2006, 0.76 for 2008 and 0.77 for 2011), showing an unfortunate stall in dissemination. At the 10% of centers with the highest KPD rates, 9.938.5% of LDKTs occurred through KPD during 20092011; if all centers adopted KPD at rates observed in the very high-KPD centers, the number of KPD transplants per year would increase by a factor of 3.2 (from 494 to 1593). Broader implementation of KPD across a wide number of centers is crucial to properly serve transplant candidates with healthy but incompatible live donors. C1 [Massie, A. B.; Gentry, S.

TI THE HEIGHT EVOLUTION OF THE "TRUE" CORONAL MASS EJECTION MASS DERIVED FROM STEREO COR1 AND COR2 OBSERVATIONS SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE Sun: activity; Sun: coronal mass ejections (CMEs) ID ENERGY; DIMMINGS; ACCELERATION; SPACECRAFT; MISSION; PHASE AB Using combined STEREO-A and STEREO-B EUVI, COR1, and COR2 data, we derive deprojected coronal mass ejection (CME) kinematics and CME "true" mass evolutions for a sample of 25 events that occurred during 2007 December to 2011 April. We develop a fitting function to describe the CME mass evolution with height. The function considers both the effect of the coronagraph occulter, at the beginning of the CME evolution, and an actual mass increase. The latter becomes important at about 10-15 R-circle dot and is assumed to mostly contribute up to 20 R-circle dot. The mass increase ranges from 2% to 6% per R-circle dot and is positively correlated to the total CME mass. Due to the combination of COR1 and COR2 mass measurements, we are able to estimate the "true" mass value for very low coronal heights (<3 R-circle dot). Based on the deprojected CME kinematics and initial ejected masses, we derive the kinetic energies and propelling forces acting on the CME in the low corona (<3 R-circle dot). The derived CME kinetic energies range between 1.0-66 x 10(23) J, and the forces range between 2.2-510 x 10(14) N. C1 [Bein, B. M.; Temmer, M.; Veronig, A.

TI Rupture to the Trench: Dynamic Rupture Simulations of the 11 March 2011 Tohoku Earthquake SO BULLETIN OF THE SEISMOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA LA English DT Article ID STATE-DEPENDENT FRICTION; OKI EARTHQUAKE; SEISMOGENIC ZONE; DISSIMILAR MATERIALS; SUBDUCTION ZONES; FAULT RUPTURE; PORE PRESSURE; UPDIP LIMIT; HALF-SPACE; SLIP AB There is strong evidence that the 11 March 2011 Tohoku earthquake rupture reached the seafloor. This is surprising because the shallow portion of the plate interface in subduction zones is thought to be frictionally stable, leading to the widely held view that coseismic rupture would stop several tens of kilometers downdip of the seafloor. Various explanations have been proposed to reconcile this seeming inconsistency, including dynamic weakening (e. g., thermal pressurization) and extreme stress release around shallow subducted seamounts. We offer a simpler explanation supported by 2D dynamic rupture simulations of the Tohoku earthquake. Our models account for depth-dependent material properties and the complex geometry of the fault, seafloor, and material interfaces, based on seismic surveys of the Japan Trench. The fault obeys rate-and-state friction with standard logarithmic dependence of shear strength on slip velocity in steady state. In our preferred model, the uppermost section of the fault is velocity strengthening. Rupture nucleates on a deeper, velocity-weakening section. Waves released by deep slip reflect off the seafloor, transmitting large stress changes to the upper section of the fault driving the rupture through the velocity-strengthening region to the trench. We validate the model against seafloor deformation and 1-Hz Global Positioning System (GPS) data. The seafloor displacements constrain the seismogenic depth and overall amount of slip, particularly near the trench. Our simulations reproduce many features in the GPS data, thereby providing insight into the rupture process and seismic wave field. Sensitivity to parameters is explored through an extensive suite of simulations. Neither static seafloor deformation nor onshore 1-Hz GPS data can uniquely determine near-trench frictional properties due to trade-offs with average stress drop. While conducted specifically for the Japan Trench region, our simulations suggest that rupture to the trench in megathrust events is quite possible, even if velocity-strengthening properties extend tens of kilometers landward from the trench.

The set of all such transforms is denoted by {H, N}(n). A Boolean function is said to be bent(4) if its spectrum with respect to at least one unitary transform in {H, N}(n) is flat.

TI Surveillance of Influenza in Indonesia, 20032007 SO INFLUENZA AND OTHER RESPIRATORY VIRUSES LA English DT Article DE Indonesia; influenza; surveillance ID VIRUS; EPIDEMIOLOGY; H5N1; INFECTION; THAILAND AB Background Longitudinal data are limited about the circulating strains of influenza viruses and their public health impact in Indonesia. We conducted influenza surveillance among outpatients and hospitalized patients with influenza-like illness (ILI) across the Indonesian archipelago from 2003 through 2007. Methodology Demographic, clinical data, and respiratory specimens were collected for 4236 ILI patients tested for influenza virus infection by RT-PCR and viral culture. Principal Findings Influenza A and B viruses co-circulated year-round with seasonal peaks in influenza A virus activity during the rainy season (DecemberJanuary). During 20032007, influenza viruses were identified in 20 center dot 1% (4236/21030) of ILI patients, including 20 center dot 1% (4015/20012) of outpatients, and 21 center dot 7% (221/1018) of inpatients. One H5N1 case was identified retrospectively in an outpatient with ILI. Antigenic drift in circulating influenza A and B virus strains was detected during the surveillance period in Indonesia. In a few instances, antigenically drifted viruses similar to the World Health Organization (WHO) vaccine strains were detected earlier than the date of their designation by WHO. Conclusions Influenza A and B virus infections are an important cause of influenza-like illness among outpatients and hospitalized patients in Indonesia. While year-round circulation of influenza viruses occurs, prevention and control strategies should be focused upon the seasonal peak during rainy season months. Ongoing virologic surveillance and influenza disease burden studies in Indonesia are important priorities to better understand the public health impact of influenza in South-East Asia and the implications of influenza viral evolution and global spread.

The measurements are also contaminated by thermal noise. We use microlocal analysis in a statistical setting to develop a filtered-backprojection-type reconstruction method. The inversion method accommodates arbitrary waveforms and arbitrary flight paths. We model the antennas and scatterers as dipoles; scatterers are thus characterized by a spatially varying scattering matrix. We include directional scattering assumptions to distinguish a curve-like extended target from clutter, which is assumed to scatter isotropically. For the inversion we choose the backprojection filter which minimizes the mean-square error between the reconstructed image and the actual target scattering matrix. Our work differs from standard polarimetric SAR imaging in that we do not perform channel-by-channel image reconstruction. We find that it is preferable to use a coupled reconstruction scheme in which we use all sets of collected data to form each element of the scattering matrix. We show in our numerical experiments that the coupled reconstruction not only minimizes the mean-square error but also improves the image target-to-clutter ratio in certain scenarios.

An examination of the external surface showed microfractures running parallel with the length of the pipe at approximately 100m intervals and 12m in width. Many larger fragments had folded inside out making the original outside surface inaccessible and difficult to fold back through work hardening. A visual examination for fingerprint corrosion revealed ridge details on several fragments that were enhanced by selective digital mapping of colors reflected from the surface of the copper. One of these fingerprints was identified partially to the original donor. C1 [Bond, John W.] Univ Leicester, Dept Chem, Leicester LE1 7RH, Leics, England.

TI The Nature and Incidence of Musculoskeletal Combat Wounds in Iraq and Afghanistan (2005-2009) SO JOURNAL OF ORTHOPAEDIC TRAUMA LA English DT Article DE musculoskeletal trauma; combat; epidemiology ID OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOM; ORTHOPEDIC INJURIES; RISK-FACTORS; AMPUTATIONS; WAR AB Objectives: This investigation sought to describe orthopaedic wounds sustained by service members deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan from 2005 to 2009. Design: Retrospective review of prospective data. Setting: Joint Theater Trauma Registry (JTTR). Patients: The 6092 musculoskeletal casualties contained in the JTTR. Intervention: The JTTR was queried to identify all personnel sustaining musculoskeletal injuries in the period 2005-2009. Demographic information, injury mechanism, and nature of wounds were determined for all individuals. Deployment data for all service members were obtained through the Defense Manpower Data Center and the incidence of orthopaedic injuries and wounding patterns was assessed. Main Outcome Measurements: Pairwise comparisons were made to identify statistically significant differences in incidence, and significant associations, between injury mechanism and injuries/wounding patterns. Results: The JTTR contained data on 6092 musculoskeletal casualties with 17,177 wounds. Seventy-seven percent of all casualties sustained a musculoskeletal wound. The incidence of musculoskeletal combat casualties was 3.06 per 1000 deployed personnel per year, with fractures occurring in 3.41 per 1000 and soft-tissue wounds most commonly encountered (4.04 per 1000). Amputations represented 6% of all combat wounds. Most musculoskeletal wounds were caused by explosive blast (P < 0.001), as were nearly all traumatic amputations. Conclusions: This study represents the most complete description of the scope of orthopaedic war trauma. It also presents injury-specific incidences that have not previously been described for musculoskeletal combat casualties. Musculoskeletal casualties may occur in 3 of every 1000 personnel deployed per year.

Sensitivities to the microphysical and boundary layer parameterizations in these simulations are minimized by estimating the likely precipitation type from the forecast 850-hPa temperatures and the established rain-snow climatology. Results suggest that the ensemble spread in events such as these, which were triggered by amplifying short waves, may develop a significant fraction of both rain-likely members and snow-likely members at forecast lead times as short as 36 h. The perturbation kinetic energy of the ensemble members about the ensemble mean ((KE') over cap) is not maximized at small scales. Instead, the power in the initial spectrum of (KE') over cap produced by the authors' ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) data assimilation cycle increases with increasing horizontal scale. The power in (KE') over cap subsequently grows with time, while maintaining approximately the same spectral shape. There is no evidence of small-scale perturbations developing rapidly and transferring their influence upscale. Instead, the large-scale perturbations appear to grow more rapidly during the first 12 h than those at the smallest resolved scales.

We formulated a vaccine carrier comprised of acetalated dextran microparticles encapsulating recombinant protective antigen (rPA) and resiquimod (a toll-like receptor 7/8 agonist). We were able to protect against triplicate lethal challenge by vaccinating twice (Days 0, 7) and then aggressively challenging on Days 14, 21, 28. A significantly higher level of antibodies was generated by day 14 with the encapsulated group compared to the conventional rPA and alum group. Antibodies produced by the co-encapsulated group were only weakly-neutralizing in toxin neutralization; however, survival was not dependent on toxin neutralization, as all vaccine formulations survived all challenges except control groups. Post-mortem culture swabs taken from the hearts of vaccinated groups that did not produce significant neutralizing titers failed to grow B. anthracis. Results indicate that protective antibodies are not required for rapid protection; indeed, cytokine results indicate that T cell protection may play a role in protection from anthrax. We report the first instance of use of a particulate carrier to generate a rapid protective immunity against anthrax. C1 [Schully, Kevin L.; Pesce, John; Elberson, Margret A.; Fonseca, Mariko.

TI Limits to Poisson's ratio in isotropic materials-general result for arbitrary deformation SO PHYSICA SCRIPTA LA English DT Article ID INCOMPRESSIBLE MATERIALS; ELASTIC PROPERTIES; BULK MODULUS; DIAMOND; CONSTANTS; SILICON; FOAM AB The lower bound customarily cited for Poisson's ratio nu, -1, is derived from the relationship between nu and the bulk and shear moduli in the classical theory of linear elasticity. However, experimental verification of the theory has been limited to materials having nu >= 0.2. From consideration of the longitudinal and biaxial moduli, we recently determined that the lower bound on nu for isotropic materials from this theory is actually 1/5. Herein we generalize this result, first by analyzing expressions for nu in terms of six common elastic constants, and then by considering arbitrary strains. The results corroborate that nu > 1/5 for classical linear elasticity to be applicable. Of course, a few materials exist for which nu < 0.2, thus deviating from this bound; accurate analysis of their mechanical behavior requires more sophisticated elasticity models. C1 [Mott, P.

Deciphering the Signatures of Shocks, Flux Ropes, and Prominences in Coronagraph Observations of CMEs SO SOLAR PHYSICS LA English DT Article DE Coronal mass ejections, low coronal signatures; Coronal mass ejections, initiation and propagation ID INTERPLANETARY MAGNETIC CLOUDS; EJECTION-ASSOCIATED SHOCK; MASS EJECTIONS; CONE MODEL; OUTER CORONA; WHITE-LIGHT; LARGE-ANGLE; LASCO; TRANSIENTS; BREAKOUT AB We intend to provide a comprehensive answer to the question on whether all Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) have flux rope structure. To achieve this, we present a synthesis of the LASCO CME observations over the last 16 years, assisted by 3D MHD simulations of the breakout model, EUV and coronagraphic observations from STEREO and SDO, and statistics from a revised LASCO CME database. We argue that the bright loop often seen as the CME leading edge is the result of pileup at the boundary of the erupting flux rope irrespective of whether a cavity or, more generally, a three-part CME can be identified. Based on our previous work on white light shock detection and supported by the MHD simulations, we identify a new type of morphology, the 'two-front' morphology. It consists of a faint front followed by diffuse emission and the bright loop-like CME leading edge. We show that the faint front is caused by density compression at a wave (or possibly shock) front driven by the CME. We also present highly detailed multi-wavelength EUV observations that clarify the relative positioning of the prominence at the bottom of a coronal cavity with a clear flux rope structure. Finally, we visually check the full LASCO CME database for flux rope structures. In the process, we classify the events into two clear flux rope classes ('three-part', and 'Loop'), jets and outflows (no clear structure). We find that at least 40 % of the observed CMEs have clear flux rope structures and that similar to aEuro parts per thousand 29 % of the database entries are either misidentifications or inadequately measured and should be discarded from statistical analyses. We propose a new definition for flux rope CMEs (FR-CMEs) as a coherent magnetic, twist-carrying coronal structure with angular width of at least 40(a similar to) and able to reach beyond 10 R-aS (TM) which erupts on a time scale of a few minutes to several hours. We conclude that flux ropes are a common occurrence in CMEs and pose a challenge for future studies to identify CMEs that are clearly not FR-CMEs. C1 [Vourlidas, A.; Howard, R.

Remote sensing observations can, however, provide important information for events close to the Sun. In this work we estimate the flux rope orientation first in the close vicinity of the Sun (2 -aEuro parts per thousand 20 R (aS (TM))) using forward modeling of STEREO/SECCHI and SOHO/LASCO coronagraph images of coronal mass ejections and then in situ using Grad-Shafranov reconstruction of the magnetic cloud. Thus, we are able to measure changes in the orientation of the erupted flux ropes as they propagate from the Sun to 1 AU. We present both techniques and use them to study 15 magnetic clouds observed during the minimum following Solar Cycle 23 and the rise of Solar Cycle 24. This is the first multievent study to compare the three-dimensional parameters of CMEs from imaging and in-situ reconstructions. The results of our analysis confirm earlier studies showing that the flux ropes tend to deflect towards the solar equatorial plane. We also find evidence of rotation on their travel from the Sun to 1 AU. In contrast to past studies, our method allows one to deduce the evolution of the three-dimensional orientation of individual flux ropes rather than on a statistical basis.

Titanium alloys provide a high specific strength and increased corrosion resistance, which makes them an attractive material for use in extreme environments, such as those experienced by the next generation vehicle systems - marine, air, land or space. This research is focused on understanding the local mechanical properties and microstructure of a friction stir weld of a 12.7 mm thick plate of Ti-5111 in the direction transverse to the weld. The weld showed significant increases in strength and ductility in the stir zone. The retreating side of the weld showed reduced strength and ductility below the base property. This result, however, was found to be limited to the microscale. The understanding gained from this research should lead to future process optimizations of FSW. (c) 2013 Acta Materialia Inc.

Currently, the most widely used methods for obtaining such estimates involve either sighting animals from transect lines or some form of capture-recapture on marked or uniquely identifiable individuals. However, many species are difficult to sight, and cannot be easily marked or recaptured. Some of these species produce readily identifiable sounds, providing an opportunity to use passive acoustic data to estimate animal density. In addition, even for species for which other visually based methods are feasible, passive acoustic methods offer the potential for greater detection ranges in some environments (e.g. underwater or in dense forest), and hence potentially better precision. Automated data collection means that surveys can take place at times and in places where it would be too expensive or dangerous to send human observers. Here, we present an overview of animal density estimation using passive acoustic data, a relatively new and fast-developing field. We review the types of data and methodological approaches currently available to researchers and we provide a framework for acoustics-based density estimation, illustrated with examples from real-world case studies. We mention moving sensor platforms (e.g. towed acoustics), but then focus on methods involving sensors at fixed locations, particularly hydrophones to survey marine mammals, as acoustic-based density estimation research to date has been concentrated in this area. Primary among these are methods based on distance sampling and spatially explicit capture-recapture. The methods are also applicable to other aquatic and terrestrial sound-producing taxa. We conclude that, despite being in its infancy, density estimation based on passive acoustic data likely will become an important method for surveying a number of diverse taxa, such as sea mammals, fish, birds, amphibians, and insects, especially in situations where inferences are required over long periods of time. There is considerable work ahead, with several potentially fruitful research areas, including the development of (i) hardware and software for data acquisition, (ii) efficient, calibrated, automated detection and classification systems, and (iii) statistical approaches optimized for this application. Further, survey design will need to be developed, and research is needed on the acoustic behaviour of target species. Fundamental research on vocalization rates and group sizes, and the relation between these and other factors such as season or behaviour state, is critical. Evaluation of the methods under known density scenarios will be important for empirically validating the approaches presented here.

TI Extending the 1-D Hovel Model for Coherent and Incoherent Back Reflections in Homojunction Solar Cells SO IEEE JOURNAL OF QUANTUM ELECTRONICS LA English DT Article DE Photovoltaic cells; reflection; semiconductor device modeling ID FRONT-SURFACE-FIELD; GAAS; PHOTOCURRENT; SIMULATION; EFFICIENCY AB In this paper we extend the analytical drift-diffusion model, or Hovel model, to model the electrical characteristics of solar cells incorporating a back mirror. We use a compact summation approach to derive modified optical generation functions in Homojunction solar cells, considering both coherent and incoherent reflections from the back reflector. These modified generation functions are then used to derive analytical formulae for the current-voltage characteristics of mirrored solar cells. We simulate the quantum efficiency of a simple GaAs np diode with a planar gold back reflector, and compare the results with the standard Hovel model using a generation function given by the Beer-Lambert law. Finally, we use the model to simulate the performance of a real GaAs solar cell device fabricated using an epitaxial-lift-off procedure, demonstrating excellent agreement between the simulated and measured characteristics.

TI Formation of Nanodimensional 3C-SiC Structures from Rice Husks SO JOURNAL OF ELECTRONIC MATERIALS LA English DT Article DE beta-SiC; nanorods; rice husk; nanotubes AB We have demonstrated that large quantities of beta-SiC nanostructures can be obtained from rice husk agricultural waste by using controlled conditions in a thermogravimetric setup. This simple and inexpensive method of producing these structures on a large scale is critical for applications in nanoelectronics, nanosensors, and biotechnology. The temperature and atmosphere are two critical elements in forming either alpha-cristobalite (SiO2) or beta-SiC. Using different characterization methods (x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy), we have shown that pyrolysis of rice husks in argon atmosphere at 1375A degrees C results in simultaneous formation of carbon nanotubes, beta-SiC nanowires/nanorods, and beta-SiC powder.

Gonzalez, Antonio TI Replacement techniques for dynamic NUCA cache designs on CMPs SO JOURNAL OF SUPERCOMPUTING LA English DT Article DE D-NUCA; Replacement; CMP ID SYSTEM SIMULATION AB The growing influence of wire delay in cache design has meant that access latencies to last-level cache banks are no longer constant. Non-Uniform Cache Architectures (NUCAs) have been proposed to address this problem. Furthermore, an efficient last-level cache is crucial in chip multiprocessors (CMP) architectures to reduce requests to the offchip memory, because of the significant speed gap between processor and memory. Therefore, a bank replacement policy that efficiently manages the NUCA cache is desirable. However, the decentralized nature of NUCA has eliminated the effectiveness of replacement policies because banks operate independently of each other, and hence their replacement decisions are restricted to a single NUCA bank. In this paper, we propose three different techniques to deal with replacements in NUCA caches. C1 [Lira, Javier; Gonzalez, Antonio] Intel Labs UPC, Intel Barcelona Res Ctr, Barcelona 2908034, Spain.

First, it explores delayed effects of high endogenously evoked cortisol concentrations on visuo-spatial declarative memory. Subsequently, it applies multiple mediation (MM) analyses to reveal path processes between stress and cognitive performance in a sample of 24 male Special Forces (SF) candidates (mean age = 27.0 years, SD = 4.1). The SF candidates were randomly assigned to a control (n = 12) or an intense stress group (n = 12), and cortisol secretion for the intense stress condition was triggered by a brusque 60 min prisoner of war exercise. Stress exposure provoked robust increases in cortisol concentrations and a significant decline in immediate recall performance, measured with the Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure (ROCF). The relative retrieval differences in regard to the ROCF persisted even after a recovery period of 24 h, as both groups showed similar levels of memory decline over 24 h. Next, the study applied a MM design that involved distribution-independent asymptotic and resampling strategies to extend traditional bivariate analyses. MM results showed that ROCF performance was mediated by increases in cortisol concentrations. Considering the studied variables, the current analysis was the first to provide statistical support for the generally accepted thesis that cortisol secretion in itself, rather than subjective strain or the experimental treatment, affects cognitive performance. The revelation of such path processes is important because it establishes process identification and may refine existing paradigms.

Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) provides an apt model for population-based analyses of patient safety and the propagation of complex surgical innovations. In the nationwide inpatient sample, we identified patients undergoing partial nephrectomy for renal tumors from 1998 to 2009 and utilized patient safety indicators (PSI) to measure preventable adverse outcomes. Of the cases, 68,713 (87 %) were OPN and 9,842 (13 %) were LPN. The prevalence of LPN increased more than threefold from 2006 to 2009. Compared to open partial nephrectomy (OPN), LPN patients were more likely to be younger (p = 0.022), have lower Charlson comorbidity scores (p = 0.002), and undergo surgery at urban (p < 0.001) and teaching (p = 0.02) hospitals. On multivariate analysis, LPN was associated with a 28 % decreased probability of any PSI (adjusted odds ratio [ORadj] 0.72, 95 % confidence interval [CI] 0.55-0.96, p = 0.025), although this benefit did not attain significance when comparing robot-assisted LPN to OPN (ORadj 0.72, 95 % CI 0.44-1.16, p = 0.173). Overall mortality decreased from 0.9 % in 1998 to 0.1 % in 2009 (p < 0.001). There were no differences in adjusted mortality between LPN and OPN (p = 0.75). During its initial national diffusion, LPN resulted in enhanced perioperative patient safety compared to OPN. Mortality for both LPN and OPN decreased over time. Further study is needed to elucidate and promote factors contributing to the safe diffusion of complex surgical innovations. C1 [Parsons, J.

Identifying items in stomachs of introduced rodents helps determine rodents' trophic positions and species most at risk of consumption. In the Hawaiian Islands, which lacked rodents prior to human arrival, three rodents (Rattus rattus or black rat, R. exulans or Pacific rat, Mus musculus or house mouse) commonly coexist in native habitats where they consume a wide range of plants and animals. These three rodent species were trapped in montane forest for 2.5 years; their stomach contents were analyzed to determine short-term diets (n = 12-95 indiv. per species), and isotopic fractions of delta N-15 and delta C-13 in their bone collagen were analyzed to further estimate their trophic positions (n = 11-20 indiv. per species). For all three species, > 75 % of individuals had plants and > 90 % had arthropods in their stomachs, and significant differences in mean relative abundances were found for food items in stomachs among all three rodents. Rodents may be dispersing some native and non-native seeds, including the highly invasive Clidemia hirta. Most identifiable arthropods in rodent stomachs were non-native, and no stomachs contained birds, snails, or lizards. The delta N-15 and delta C-13 signatures were consistent with trophic feeding differences revealed from stomach contents. Dietary niche differentiation by coexisting rodent species is evident in this forest, with Pacific rats being intermediate between the mostly carnivorous house mouse and the mostly herbivorous black rat; such findings can help forecast rodent impacts and direct management efforts in ecosystems where these invasive animals coexist.

Microparticles are gamma-irradiated to fill their charge-carrier traps and then exposed to the detonation of 20 g of a plastic bonded HMX and Al explosive formulation at a test distance of approximately 22 cm from the center of the detonation. The thermal history of the microparticles is reconstructed by iteratively matching the degree of trap depopulation, derived from luminescence measurements, with that projected by theoretical simulations using appropriate models. Measurements and modeling indicate that the particles experienced a maximum temperature of 240 degrees C, then cooled to 1 degrees C above ambient temperature within 0.4 seconds. The resulting glow curve intensity is calculated to match the observed post-detonation signal to 3% averaged over the comparison values used for reconstruction.

TI Anaerobic methane oxidation in low-organic content methane seep sediments SO GEOCHIMICA ET COSMOCHIMICA ACTA LA English DT Article ID GULF-OF-MEXICO; NORTHERN CASCADIA MARGIN; OREGON SUBDUCTION ZONE; DEEP-SEA SEDIMENTS; SULFATE REDUCTION; HYDRATE RIDGE; VANCOUVER-ISLAND; MARINE-SEDIMENTS; COLD SEEPS; GLACIMARINE SEDIMENTATION AB Sulfate-dependent anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) is the key sedimentary microbial process limiting methane emissions from marine sediments and methane seeps. In this study, we investigate how the presence of low-organic content sediment influences the capacity and efficiency of AOM at Bullseye vent, a gas hydrate-bearing cold seep offshore of Vancouver Island, Canada. The upper 8 m of sediment contains <0.4 wt.% total organic carbon (OC) and primarily consists of glacially-derived material that was deposited 14,900-15,900 yrs BP during the retreat of the late Quaternary Cordilleran Ice Sheet. We hypothesize this aged and exceptionally low-OC content sedimentary OM is biologically refractory, thereby limiting degradation of non-methane OM by sulfate reduction and maximizing methane consumption by sulfate-dependent AOM. A radiocarbon-based dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) isotope mass balance model demonstrates that respired DIC in sediment pore fluids is derived from a fossil carbon source that is devoid of C-14. A fossil origin for the DIC precludes remineralization of non-fossil OM present within the sulfate zone as a significant contributor to pore water DIC, suggesting that nearly all sulfate is available for anaerobic oxidation of fossil seep methane. Methane flux from the SMT to the sediment water interface in a diffusion-dominated flux region of Bullseye vent was, on average, 96% less than at an OM-rich seep in the Gulf of Mexico with a similar methane flux regime. Evidence for enhanced methane oxidation capacity within OM-poor sediments has implications for assessing how climate-sensitive reservoirs of sedimentary methane (e. g., gas hydrate) will respond to ocean warming, particularly along glacially-influenced mid and high latitude continental margins.

To effectively achieve this, it is necessary first to understand the factors that determine species resilience, and their relative importance in shaping the ability of species to adjust to the complexities of environmental change. This is an extremely challenging task because it requires comprehensive information on species traits. We explored the resilience of 58 marine turtle regional management units (RMUs) to climate change, encompassing all seven species of marine turtles worldwide. We used expert opinion from the IUCN-SSC Marine Turtle Specialist Group (n=33 respondents) to develop a Resilience Index, which considered qualitative characteristics of each RMU (relative population size, rookery vulnerability, and genetic diversity) and non climate-related threats (fisheries, take, coastal development, and pollution/pathogens). Our expert panel perceived rookery vulnerability (the likelihood of functional rookeries becoming extirpated) and non climate-related threats as having the greatest influence on resilience of RMUs to climate change. We identified the world's 13 least resilient marine turtle RMUs to climate change, which are distributed within all three major ocean basins and include six of the world's seven species of marine turtle. Our study provides the first look at inter- and intra-species variation in resilience to climate change and highlights the need to devise metrics that measure resilience directly. We suggest that this approach can be widely used to help prioritize future actions that increase species resilience to climate change. C1 [Fuentes, Mariana M. P.

At the transmitter, imperfect launch conditions couple phase modulation to unintended polarization modulation. At the receiver, polarization modulation creates spurious photocurrents due to birefringence in, and time delays between, interferometric paths. In this paper, we analyze such systems, and develop a formula for the photocurrent as a function of 11 system parameters. We utilize both the Jones description and our recent generalization of the Stokes description that includes optical phase, examine several special cases for phase modulated RF optical links, and evaluate some typical system performance issues.

TI Coupling micro and meso-scale combustion models of AP/HTPB propellants SO COMBUSTION AND FLAME LA English DT Article DE Ammonium perchlorate; Hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene; Solid propellants; Combustion modeling; Multi-scale coupling ID COMPOSITE PROPELLANTS; AMMONIUM-PERCHLORATE AB Combustion simulations at the micro and meso-scales are coupled to give a more theoretically based and accurate description of AP (ammonium perchlorate)/HTPB (hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene) composite propellant combustion. One and two-dimensional micro-scale combustion models of AP and AP/HTPB, which include detailed kinetics and species transport, are utilized to define semi-global kinetics for a meso-scale propellant combustion model capable of representing the complex morphology of an actual propellant. The AP/HTPB flame structure predicted with the micro-scale models is separated into four flames. Each flame is represented with a single reaction, thus a new four-step kinetic mechanism is implemented into the meso-scale model. Physical and kinetic parameters are determined with the micro-scale models. The meso-scale model is calibrated and validated with the micro-scale models to ensure the correct flame structure, as a function of pressure and AP particle sizes, is recreated with the four-step mechanism. The primary focus of this work is to outline the methodology used to couple the two numerical scales. Results of the meso-scale model are compared with the previous empirically-parameterized meso-scale model results and experimental data. Predictions are within 10% of experimental values for a range of AP/HTPB propellants. Published by Elsevier Inc. on behalf of The Combustion Institute.

TI Effects of Random Circuit Fabrication Errors on the Mean and Standard Deviation of Small Signal Gain and Phase of a Traveling Wave Tube SO IEEE JOURNAL OF THE ELECTRON DEVICES SOCIETY LA English DT Article DE Gain variation; phase variation; traveling wave tube; fabrication tolerance AB Random fabrication errors may have detrimental effects on the performance of traveling wave tubes (TWTs) of all types, especially in the sub-millimeter wavelength regime and beyond. Previous studies calculated the standard deviation of the small signal gain and the output phase of a TWT in the presence of small random, axially varying perturbations in the circuit phase velocity, assuming synchronous interaction and zero AC space charge effects. This paper relaxes the latter assumptions. In addition, we calculate the ensemble-average gain and the ensemble-average phase that result from random axial variations in the circuit phase velocity, using two analytic approaches. One is a perturbative approach including all three modes of the coupled beam-circuit equations. The other treats the evolution of only the dominant (exponentially growing) mode. The analytical results on the expected gain and phase compare favorably with results from numerical integrations of the governing equation in the absence of space charge, but are found to deviate from the numerical integrations with the inclusion of space charge effects. The effects of small pitch errors in a 210 GHz folded waveguide TWT are evaluated in an example. C1 [Rittersdorf, Ian M.] Univ Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48108 USA.

This 9-meter craft is capable of operating at speeds up to Froude number 1.7. However, when it begins to maneuver in incident waves near its maximum speed, dynamic instability occurs immediately. In this instance, the craft trims and rolls to a large heel angle with "plow-In," even with small-amplitude incident waves and small course changes. In this study, a fully nonlinear ship motion model named the Digital Self-consistent Ship Experimental Laboratory (DiSSEL) is used as a numerical tool to understand the physics that cause the dynamic instabilities. DiSSEL showed that when SRB reached Froude number 1.698, acceleration resulting from heading change would cause a dynamic force and moment imbalance, resulting in heel and pitch motion instabilities. DiSSEL also showed that if the heading is fixed, and other conditions remain the same, the instability did not occur. Unfortunately, there is no detailed record of the data or numerical simulation of the ship motions in the stable and unstable regions, except for the description of the ship motions by Codega and Lewis (1987). The simulations by DiSSEL agree well with this description. C1 [Lin, Ray-Qing; Smith, Tim] Naval Surface Warfare Ctr, Carderock Div NSWCCD, Hydromech Dept, West Bethesda, MD 20817 USA.

SO2 was adsorbed onto electrodes held at 0.1, 0.5, 0.7 and 0.9 V vs. a reversible hydrogen electrode while flowing 1000 ppm SO2 in O-2 through the working electrode (WE) compartment. SO2 adsorption products from SO2/O-2 are compared to those from SO2/N-2 gas mixtures [Baturina, et al., Langmuir, 27 (2011) 14930]. The SO2 adsorption products are found to be essentially the same at electrodes held at 0.5, 0.7 and 0.9 V. A major difference is observed at 0.1 V, where (bi) sulfate ions are generated in the presence of SO2 in O2 likely due to a reaction between SO2 and H2O2 formed as a byproduct of the oxygen reduction reaction in the hydrogen adsorption region. (Bi) sulfate generation on Pt/VC catalysts held at 0.1 V suggests that SO2 may act as a peroxide radical scavenger at the PEM fuel cell cathode. Although impurities such as SO2 and H2S usually promote hydrogen peroxide generation at the fuel cell cathodes, their detrimental effect may be diminished by their reaction with H2O2.

The effect of oxygen content on the electrical/optical properties of AZO films in this region was investigated. Films deposited at optimized conditions exhibit a carrier concentration of 1.2 x 10(21) cm(-3), carrier mobility of 18 cm(2) V-1 s(-1), and zero-cross-over of the real permittivity below 1.5 mu m. Optical losses in these AZO films are similar to 5 times smaller than conventional Ag films in the NIR. These results make AZO a promising low-loss alternative material to conventional metals for plasmonic devices operating at telecommunication wavelengths. C1 [Kim, H.; Osofsky, M.; Prokes, S.

TI First observations of minority ion (H+) structuring in stimulated radiation during second electron gyroharmonic heating experiments SO GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS LA English DT Article DE Ionosphere; Active experiments ID ELECTROMAGNETIC EMISSION; IONOSPHERE; FREQUENCY; PLASMA; HYBRID; WAVES AB This work presents the first observations of unique narrowband emissions ordered near the hydrogen ion (H+) gyrofrequency (fcH) in the stimulated electromagnetic emission spectrum when the transmitter is tuned near the second electron gyroharmonic frequency (2fce) during ionospheric modification experiments. The frequency structuring of these newly discovered emission lines is quite unexpected since H+ is known to be a minor constituent in the interaction region which is near 160km altitude. The spectral lines are typically shifted from the pump wave frequency by harmonics of a frequency about 10% less than fcH (approximate to 800Hz) and have a bandwidth of less than 50Hz which is near the O+ gyrofrequency fcO. A theory is proposed to explain these emissions in terms of a parametric decay instability in a multi-ion species plasma due to possible proton precipitation associated with the disturbed conditions during the heating experiment. The observations can be explained by including several percent H+ ions into the background plasma. The implications are new possibilities for characterizing proton precipitation events during ionospheric heating experiments. C1 [Bordikar, M. R.; Scales, W. A.; Samimi, A.

TI Stationary waves in the wintertime mesosphere: Evidence for gravity wave filtering by stratospheric planetary waves SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-ATMOSPHERES LA English DT Article ID SATELLITE; VORTEX; WINDS; MLS AB Quasi-stationary planetary-scale waves in the wintertime mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) are thought to be forced in part by drag imparted by gravity waves that have been modulated by underlying stratospheric waves. Although this mechanism has been demonstrated numerically, there have been very few observational studies that examine wave driving as a source of planetary waves in the MLT. This study uses data from EOS Aura and TIMED between 2005 and 2011 to examine the momentum budget of MLT wintertime planetary waves. Monthly averages for January indicate that the dynamics of zonal wave number 1 are determined from a three-way balance among the Coriolis acceleration, the pressure gradient force, and a momentum residual term that reflects wave drag. The MLT circulations in January 2005, 2006, 2009, and 2011 are qualitatively consistent with a simple model of wave forcing by drag from gravity waves that have been modulated by stratospheric planetary waves. MLT winds during these years are also consistent with analyses from a high-altitude operational prediction model that includes parameterized nonorographic gravity wave drag. The importance of wave drag for the MLT momentum budget suggests that the gradient wind approximation is inadequate for deriving planetary-scale winds from global temperature measurements. Our results underscore the need for direct global wind measurements in the MLT. C1 [Lieberman, R. S.; Riggin, D. M.] NW Res Associates Inc, Boulder, CO USA. [Lieberman, R. S.; Riggin, D.

The most common immunoassay format is based on europium chelate or cryptate donors and allophycocyanin acceptors. Replacing europium donors with terbium complexes and the acceptors with QDs offers large photophysical advantages for multiplexed diagnostics, because the Tb-complex can be used as FRET donor for QD acceptors of different colors. Water-soluble and biocompatible QDs are commercially available or can be synthesized in the laboratory using many available recipes from the literature. Apart from the semiconductor material composition, an important aspect of choosing the right QD for TR-FRET assays is the thickness of the QD coating, which will influence the photophysical properties and long-term stability as well as the donor acceptor distance and FRET efficiency. Here we present a detailed time-resolved spectroscopic study of three different QDs with an emission maximum around 605 nm for their application as FRET acceptors (using a common Tb donor) in TR-bioassays: (i) Invitrogen/Life Technologies Qdot605, (ii) eBioscience eFluorNC605 and iii) ter-polymer stabilized CdSe/CdS/ZnS QDs synthesized in our laboratories. All FRET systems are very stable and possess large Forster distances (7.4-9.1 nm), high FRET efficiencies (0.63- 0.80) and low detection limits (0.06-2.0 pM) within the FRET-bioassays. Shapes, sizes and the biotin/QD ratio of the biocompatible QDs could be determined directly in the solution phase bioassays at subnanomolar concentrations. Both commercial amphiphilic polymer/lipid encapsulated QDs and self-made ligand-exchanged QDs provide extremely low detection limits for highly sensitive TR-FRET bioassays. C1 [Wegner, K.

TI Estimating detection and identification probabilities in maritime target acquisition SO APPLIED OPTICS LA English DT Article ID PERFORMANCE AB This work describes several approaches to the estimation of target detection and identification probabilities as a function of target range. A Bayesian approach to estimation is adopted, whereby the posterior probability distributions associated with these probabilities are analytically derived. The parameter posteriors are then used to develop credible intervals quantifying the degree of uncertainty in the parameter estimates. In our first approach we simply show how these credible intervals evolve as a function of range. A second approach, also following the Bayesian philosophy, attempts to directly estimate the parameterized performance curves. This second approach makes efficient use of the available data and yields a distribution of probability versus range curves. Finally, we demonstrate both approaches using experimental data collected from wide field-of-view imagers focused on maritime targets.

We show that the equivalent widths of the CO lines vary during this time period with the v = 1-0 CO lines brightening more than the UV fluoresced lines from the higher vibrational states. While the spectroastrometric signal of the hot band lines remains constant during this period, the spectroastrometric signal of the v = 1-0 lines varies substantially. At all epochs, the spectroastrometric signals of the UV fluoresced lines are consistent with the signal one would expect from gas in an axisymmetric disk. In 2003, the spectroastrometric signal of the v = 1-0 P26 line was symmetric and consistent with emission from an axisymmetric disk. However, in 2006 there was no spatial offset of the signal detected on the red side of the profile, and in 2010 the spectroastrometric offset was yet more strongly reduced toward zero velocity. A model is presented that can explain the evolution of the equivalent width of the v = 1-0 P26 line and its spectroastrometric signal by adding to the system a compact source of CO emission that orbits the star near the inner edge of the disk. We hypothesize that such emission may arise from a circumplanetary disk orbiting a gas giant planet near the inner edge of the circumstellar disk. We discuss how this idea can be tested observationally and be distinguished from an alternative interpretation of random fluctuations in the disk emission.

SOFCs are operated at 800 degrees C with CH4 as a representative hydrocarbon fuel. IR signatures of gas-phase oxidation products, CO2(g) and CO(g), are observed while cells are under load. A broad feature at 2295 cm(-1) is assigned to CO2 adsorbed on Ni as a CH4 oxidation intermediate during cell operation and while carbon deposits are electrochemically oxidized after CH4 operation. Electrochemical control provides confirmation of the assignment of adsorbed CO2. FTIRES has been demonstrated as a viable technique for the identification of fuel oxidation intermediates and products in working SOFCs, allowing for the elucidation of the mechanisms of fuel chemistry.

TI New Wisdom to Defy an Old Enemy: Summary from a scientific symposium at the 4th Influenza Vaccines for the World (IVW) 2012 Congress, 11 October, Valencia, Spain SO VACCINE LA English DT Article DE Influenza; Influenza vaccine; Passive immunotherapy; ISCOMATRIX (TM) adjuvant; Healthcare communication; Cognitive styles ID PLACEBO-CONTROLLED TRIAL; FUTURE H5N1 TREATMENT; PANDEMIC 2009 H1N1; SPANISH INFLUENZA; UNITED-STATES; A VIRUS; IMMUNOGLOBULIN PREPARATIONS; PASSIVE IMMUNOTHERAPY; MATERNAL IMMUNIZATION; NEUTRALIZING ACTIVITY AB Both seasonal and pandemic influenza cause considerable morbidity and mortality globally. In addition, the ongoing threat of new, unpredictable influenza pandemics from emerging variant strains cannot be underestimated. Recently bioCSL (previously known as CSL Biotherapies) sponsored a symposium 'New Wisdom to Defy an Old Enemy' at the 4th Influenza Vaccines for the World Congress in Valencia, Spain. This symposium brought together a renowned faculty of experts to discuss lessons from past experience, novel influenza vaccine developments, and new methods to increase vaccine acceptance and coverage. Specific topics reviewed and discussed included new vaccine development efforts focused on improving efficacy via alternative administration routes, dose modifications, improved adjuvants, and the use of master donor viruses. Improved safety was also discussed, particularly the new finding of an excess of febrile reactions isolated to children who received the 2010 Southern Hemisphere (SH) trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (TIV). Significant work has been done to both identify the cause and minimize the risk of febrile reactions in children. Other novel prophylactic and therapeutic advances were discussed including immunotherapy. Standard IVIg and hIVIg have been used in ferret studies and human case reports with promising results. New adjuvants, such as ISCOMATRIX (TM) adjuvant, were noted to provide single-dose, prolonged protection with seasonal vaccine after lethal H5N1 virus challenge in a ferret model of human influenza disease. The data suggest that adjuvanted seasonal influenza vaccines may provide broader protection than unadjuvanted vaccines. The use of an antigen-formulated vaccine to induce broad protection between pandemics that could bridge the gap between pandemic declaration and the production of a homologous vaccine was also discussed. Finally, despite the availability of effective vaccines, most current efforts to increase influenza vaccine coverage rates to higher levels (i.e., above 70-80%) have been ineffective in highly developed countries where the vaccine is used, hindered by the public's skepticism towards vaccines in general. New educational and social media methods to increase vaccine acceptance and coverage were discussed. While the first priority should be the development of improved influenza vaccines, a particular focus on the aging global population is critical. It is also important to draw lessons from other academic disciplines that can help to inform vaccine education programs, policy, and communication. By tailoring communications and patient education using an understanding of cognitive bias and the model of preferred cognitive styles, the likelihood of effecting desirable health decisions can be maximized, leading to improved vaccine coverage and control of influenza and other vaccine-preventable diseases.

Aerosol composition evolves from source-rich areas in the western Basin to downwind sites in the eastern Basin, evidenced by transition from an external to internal mixture, as well as enhancements in organic O:C ratio, the amount of organics and nitrate internally mixed on almost all particle types, and coating thickness on refractory black carbon (rBC). Transport into hot, dilute outflow regions leads to significant volatilization of semivolatile material, resulting in a unimodal aerosol comprising primarily oxygenated, low-volatility, water-soluble organics and sulfate. The fraction of particles with rBC or soot cores is between 27 and 51% based on data from a Single Particle Soot Photometer (SP2) and Aerosol Time of Flight Mass Spectrometer (ATOFMS). Secondary organics appear to inhibit subsaturated water uptake in aged particles, while CCN activity is enhanced with photochemical age. A biomass-burning event resulted in suppression of subsaturated hygroscopicity but enhancement in CCN activity, suggesting that BB particles may be nonhygroscopic at subsaturated RH but are important sources of CCN. Aerosol aging and biomass burning can lead to discrepancies between subsaturated and supersaturated hygroscopicity that may be related to mixing state. In the cases of biomass burning aerosol and aged particles coated with secondary material, more than a single parameter representation of subsaturated hygroscopicity and CCN activity is needed.

TI Impact of meridional winds on equatorial spread F: Revisited SO GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS LA English DT Article ID IONOSPHERE; IRREGULARITIES AB The impact of meridional winds on the onset and evolution of equatorial spread F (ESF) is studied using the NRL ionosphere model SAMI3/ESF. The prevailing belief is that meridional winds have a stabilizing effect on the onset of ESF. In this letter, it is shown that this is not necessarily the case and that meridional winds can be destabilizing. We find that a wind profile with a positive gradient as a function of latitude (partial derivative V-m/partial derivative theta >= 0) is a stabilizing influence on the generalized Rayleigh-Taylor instability; a wind profile with a negative gradient (partial derivative V-m/partial derivative theta < 0) is a destabilizing influence. Here, a northward wind is positive, and theta increases in the northward direction. It is suggested that meridional wind profiles may account for, in part, the longitudinal and day-to-day variability of ESF. C1 [Huba, J.

TI Demonstration of Quantum Entanglement between a Single Electron Spin Confined to an InAs Quantum Dot and a Photon SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article ID ATOM; INTERFACE; NETWORKS; DISTANCE AB The electron spin state of a singly charged semiconductor quantum dot has been shown to form a suitable single qubit for quantum computing architectures with fast gate times. A key challenge in realizing a useful quantum dot quantum computing architecture lies in demonstrating the ability to scale the system to many qubits. In this Letter, we report an all optical experimental demonstration of quantum entanglement between a single electron spin confined to a single charged semiconductor quantum dot and the polarization state of a photon spontaneously emitted from the quantum dot's excited state. We obtain a lower bound on the fidelity of entanglement of 0.59 +/- 0.04, which is 84% of the maximum achievable given the timing resolution of available single photon detectors. In future applications, such as measurement-based spin-spin entanglement which does not require sub-nanosecond timing resolution, we estimate that this system would enable near ideal performance. The inferred (usable) entanglement generation rate is 3 x 10(3) s(-1). This spin-photon entanglement is the first step to a scalable quantum dot quantum computing architecture relying on photon (flying) qubits to mediate entanglement between distant nodes of a quantum dot network.

Since the Frohlich interaction is similar to 15 times higher in GaN than in GaAs, level broadening makes obtaining appreciable optical gain difficult even with a large population inversion. A density matrix Monte Carlo method is used to calculate the broadening of the optical gain spectra as a function of lattice temperature. We find by using a proposed method of nonresonant tunneling and electron-longitudinal-optical phonon scattering for depopulation of the lower lasing state, that it is possible to sufficiently isolate the upper lasing state and control the lower lasing state lifetime to obtain high optical gain in GaN. The results predict lasing out to 300 K which is significantly higher than for GaAs based structures.

TI Low-mobility channel tracking for MIMO-OFDM communication systems SO EURASIP JOURNAL ON ADVANCES IN SIGNAL PROCESSING LA English DT Article DE MIMO-OFDM; Cramer-Rao lower bound; Optimal training design; Channel estimation; Kalman filtering; Capacity bounds ID VALUED MATRIX DIFFERENTIATION; FADING CHANNELS; MUTUAL INFORMATION; PILOT SYMBOLS; WIRELESS OFDM; PART I; PERFECT; TRANSMISSIONS; EQUALIZATION; PERFORMANCE AB It is now well understood that by exploiting the available additional spatial dimensions, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems provide capacity gains, compared to a single-input single-output systems without increasing the overall transmit power or requiring additional bandwidth. However, these large capacity gains are feasible only when the perfect knowledge of the channel is available to the receiver. Consequently, when the channel knowledge is imperfect, as is common in practical settings, the impact of the achievable capacity needs to be evaluated. In this study, we begin with a general MIMO framework at the outset and specialize it to the case of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems by decoupling channel estimation from data detection. Cyclic-prefixed OFDM systems have attracted widespread interest due to several appealing characteristics not least of which is the fact that a single-tap frequency-domain equalizer per subcarrier is sufficient due to the circulant structure of the resulting channel matrix. We consider a low-mobility wireless channel which exhibits inter-block channel variations and apply Kalman tracking when MIMO-OFDM communication is performed. Furthermore, we consider the signal transmission to contain a stream of training and information symbols followed by information symbols alone. By relying on predicted channel states when training symbols are absent, we aim to understand how the improvements in channel capacity are affected by imperfect channel knowledge. We show that the Kalman recursion procedure can be simplified by the optimal minimum mean square error training design. Using the simplified recursion, we derive capacity upper and lower bounds to evaluate the performance of the system.

We demonstrate that an increased soliton self-frequency shift can be achieved using a tapered PCF. There is an optimal tapered PCF, which yields an additional 0.4 mu m shift to longer wavelengths relative to the shift that is obtained in an untapered PCF, leading to an increase in the bandwidth from 2.5 mu m to 3.6 mu m. However, the ratio of the output power in the region between 3 and 5 mu m to the input power decreases in a tapered fiber because of the increased fiber leakage loss. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.

TI Temporal Transcriptional Response during Infection of Type II Alveolar Epithelial Cells with Francisella tularensis Live Vaccine Strain (LVS) Supports a General Host Suppression and Bacterial Uptake by Macropinocytosis SO JOURNAL OF BIOLOGICAL CHEMISTRY LA English DT Article ID INNATE IMMUNE-RESPONSE; MURINE MACROPHAGES; MICROARRAY ANALYSIS; RESPIRATORY CHALLENGE; PULMONARY INFECTION; TULAREMIA VACCINE; YERSINIA EFFECTOR; INDUCED APOPTOSIS; HUMAN MONOCYTES; SEVERE SEPSIS AB Pneumonic tularemia is caused by inhalation of Francisella tularensis, one of the most infectious microbes known. We wanted to study the kinetics of the initial and early interactions between bacterium and host cells in the lung. To do this, we examined the infection of A549 airway epithelial cells with the live vaccine strain (LVS) of F. tularensis. A549 cells were infected and analyzed for global transcriptional response at multiple time points up to 16 h following infection. At 15 min and 2 h, a strong transcriptional response was observed including cytoskeletal rearrangement, intracellular transport, and interferon signaling. However, at later time points (6 and 16 h), very little differential gene expression was observed, indicating a general suppression of the host response consistent with other reported cell lines and murine tissues. Genes for macropinocytosis and actin/cytoskeleton rearrangement were highly up-regulated and common to the 15 min and 2 h time points, suggesting the use of this method for bacterial entry into cells. We demonstrate macropinocytosis through the uptake of FITC-dextran and amiloride inhibition of Francisella LVS uptake. Our results suggest that macropinocytosis is a potential mechanism of intracellular entry by LVS and that the host cell response is suppressed during the first 2-6 h of infection. These results suggest that the attenuated Francisella LVS induces significant host cell signaling at very early time points after the bacteria's interaction with the cell.

The main problem in the construction of such devices is the fusion between conducting and controlling parts of the device, substantially reducing the efficiency of regulation. To approach the problem we study the electron transfer through a carbon nanotube (CNT)-histidine-heme-histidine-CNT conjugate with an orthogonal porphyrin orientation relative to the CNT electrodes. Using density functional theory and nonequilibrium Greens function calculations we show that at low bias the CNT molecular orbitals are electronically coupled only to the Fe atom but uncoupled from the tetrapyrrole ring of the porphyrin. We found that at low bias the electrons pass exclusively through the central Fe atom of the porphyrin, but at higher bias they are partially scattered by the tetrapyrrole ring, leading to a reduction of the total current through the molecule (negative differential resistance). This allows for keeping the electron flow through the device at a specific level and for controlling the current through the device by the redox state of the tetrapyrrole ring. In the orthogonal orientation, neither of the porphyrin side groups directly participates in the electron transfer through the heme and can thus be used for porphyrin binding and orientation to proteins or electrodes. These results open the possibility for the construction of a highly integrated electronic field effect transistor in a single molecule with controllable electron transfer through individual iron atoms.

TI CHROMOSPHERIC EVAPORATION IN AN M1.8 FLARE OBSERVED BY THE EXTREME-ULTRAVIOLET IMAGING SPECTROMETER ON HINODE SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE Sun: activity; Sun: flares; Sun: UV radiation ID X-RAY-SPECTRA; SOLAR-FLARE; IMPULSIVE PHASE; NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS; LOOPS; TEMPERATURE; GASDYNAMICS; RESOLUTION; HYDRODYNAMICS; SPECTROSCOPY AB We discuss observations of chromospheric evaporation for a complex flare that occurred on 2012 March 9 near 03: 30 UT obtained from the Extreme-ultraviolet Imaging Spectrometer (EIS) on board the Hinode spacecraft. This was a multiple event with a strong energy input that reached the M1.8 class when observed by EIS. EIS was in raster mode and fortunately the slit was almost at the exact location of a significant energy input. Also, EIS obtained a full-CCD spectrum of the flare, i.e., the entire CCD was readout so that data were obtained for about the 500 lines identified in the EIS wavelength ranges. Chromospheric evaporation characterized by 150-200 km s(-1) upflows was observed in multiple locations in multi-million degree spectral lines of flare ions such as Fe XXII, Fe XXIII, and Fe XXIV, with simultaneous 20-60 km s(-1) upflows in million degree coronal lines from ions such as Fe XII-Fe XVI. The behavior of cooler, transition region ions such as O VI, Fe VIII, He II, and Fe X is more complex, but upflows were also observed in Fe VIII and Fe X lines. At a point close to strong energy input in space and time, the flare ions Fe XXII, Fe XXIII, and Fe XXIV reveal an isothermal source with a temperature close to 14 MK and no strong blueshifted components. At this location there is a strong downflow in cooler active region lines from ions such as Fe XIII and Fe XIV, on the order of 200 km s(-1). We speculate that this downflow may be evidence of the downward shock produced by reconnection in the current sheet seen in MHD simulations. A sunquake also occurred near this location. Electron densities were obtained from density sensitive lines ratios from Fe XIII and Fe XIV. Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) observations from the Solar Dynamics Observatory are used with JHelioviewer to obtain a qualitative overview of the flare. However, AIA data are not presented in this paper. In summary, spectroscopic data from EIS are presented that can be used for predictive tests of models of chromospheric evaporation as envisaged in the Standard Flare Model. C1 [Doschek, G.

First, these measurements are used to test the prediction that the "sigma-Discrepancy," in which the CaT sigma(o) is systematically larger than the sigma(o) obtained from the 1.6 or 2.3 mu m stellar CO band-heads, extends to ULIRG luminosities. Next, we combine the CaT data with rest-frame I-band photometry obtained from archival Hubble Space Telescope data and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) to derive dynamical properties for the eight ULIRGs. These are then compared to the dynamical properties of 9255 elliptical galaxies from the SDSS within the same redshift volume and of a relatively nearby (z < 0.4) sample of 53 QSO host galaxies. A comparison is also made between the I-band and H-band dynamical properties of the ULIRGs. We find four key results: (1) the sigma-Discrepancy extends to ULIRG luminosities; (2) at I-band ULIRGs lie on the fundamental plane in a region consistent with the most massive elliptical galaxies and not low-intermediate mass ellipticals as previously reported in the near-infrared; (3) the I-band M/L of ULIRGs are consistent with an old stellar population, while at H-band ULIRGs appear significantly younger and less massive; and (4) we derive an I-band Kormendy Relation from the SDSS ellipticals and demonstrate that ULIRGs and QSO host galaxies are dynamically similar.

A total of 55 new protostar candidates are detected at 70 mu m and 160 mu m that are either too faint (m(24) > 7 mag) to be reliably classified as protostars or undetected in the Spitzer/MIPS 24 mu m band. We find that the 11 reddest protostar candidates with log lambda F(lambda)70/lambda F(lambda)24 > 1.65 are free of contamination and can thus be reliably explained as protostars. The remaining 44 sources have less extreme 70/24 colors, fainter 70 mu m fluxes, and higher levels of contamination. Taking the previously known sample of Spitzer protostars and the new sample together, we find 18 sources that have log lambda F(lambda)70/lambda F(lambda)24 > 1.65; we name these sources "PACS Bright Red sources," or PBRs. Our analysis reveals that the PBR sample is composed of Class 0 like sources characterized by very red spectral energy distributions (SEDs; T-bol < 45 K) and large values of sub-millimeter fluxes (L-smm/L-bol > 0.6%). Modified blackbody fits to the SEDs provide lower limits to the envelope masses of 0.2-2 M-circle dot and luminosities of 0.7-10 L-circle dot. Based on these properties, and a comparison of the SEDs with radiative transfer models of protostars, we conclude that the PBRs are most likely extreme Class 0 objects distinguished by higher than typical envelope densities and hence, high mass infall rates.

The blends were significantly stronger (almost 3-fold higher tensile strength) and tougher than neat IIR networks, when compared at equal modulus. This improvement was greater for blends having higher molecular weight PIB. The results show that miscible blends with components having large disparities in their degree of cross linking (infinite in the present case) circumvent the trade-off between stiffness and strength found for conventional elastomers. The operative mechanism is alleviation of local overstresses by configurational rearrangement of unattached, but entangled, chains. This mechanism is common to other approaches that improve the mechanical properties of networks, such as bimodal networks and hydrogel blends. C1 [Giller, C. B.; Roland, C.

TI Bovine Lactoferrin Decreases Cholera-Toxin-Induced Intestinal Fluid Accumulation in Mice by Ganglioside Interaction SO PLOS ONE LA English DT Article ID ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA-COLI; HEAT-LABILE ENTEROTOXIN; FREE SECRETORY COMPONENT; HUMAN-MILK; ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY; BINDING; DIARRHEA; CELLS; ANTAGONISTS; INHIBITION AB Secretory diarrhea caused by cholera toxin (CT) is initiated by binding of CT's B subunit (CTB) to GM1-ganglioside on the surface of intestinal cells. Lactoferrin, a breast milk glycoprotein, has shown protective effect against several enteropathogens. The aims of this study were to determine the effect of bovine-lactoferrin (bLF) on CT-induced intestinal fluid accumulation in mice, and the interaction between bLF and CT/CTB with the GM1-ganglioside receptor. Fluid accumulation induced by CT was evaluated in the mouse ileal loop model using 56 BALB/c mice, with and without bLF added before, after or at the same time of CT administration. The effect of bLF in the interaction of CT and CTB with GM1-ganglioside was evaluated by a GM1-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. bLF decreased CT-induced fluid accumulation in the ileal loop of mice. The greatest effect was when bLF was added before CT (median, 0.066 vs. 0.166 g/cm, with and without bLF respectively, p<0.01). We conclude that bLF decreases binding of CT and CTB to GM1-ganglioside, suggesting that bLF suppresses CT-induced fluid accumulation by blocking the binding of CTB to GM1-ganglioside. bLF may be effective as adjunctive therapy for treatment of cholera diarrhea.

This need is of particular relevance for developing countries, since they host the majority of the global urban population and are disproportionally affected by the burden of disease. We used Global Positioning System (GPS) data-loggers to track the fine-scale (within city) mobility patterns of 582 residents from two neighborhoods from the city of Iquitos, Peru. We used similar to 2.3 million GPS data-points to quantify age-specific mobility parameters and dynamic co-location networks among all tracked individuals. Geographic space significantly affected human mobility, giving rise to highly local mobility kernels. Most (similar to 80%) movements occurred within 1 km of an individual's home. Potential hourly contacts among individuals were highly irregular and temporally unstructured. Only up to 38% of the tracked participants showed a regular and predictable mobility routine, a sharp contrast to the situation in the developed world. As a case study, we quantified the impact of spatially and temporally unstructured routines on the dynamics of transmission of an influenza-like pathogen within an Iquitos neighborhood. Temporally unstructured daily routines (e.g., not dominated by a single location, such as a workplace, where an individual repeatedly spent significant amount of time) increased an epidemic's final size and effective reproduction number by 20% in comparison to scenarios modeling temporally structured contacts. Our findings provide a mechanistic description of the basic rules that shape human mobility within a resource-poor urban center, and contribute to the understanding of the role of fine-scale patterns of individual movement and co-location in infectious disease dynamics. More generally, this study emphasizes the need for careful consideration of human social interactions when designing infectious disease mitigation strategies, particularly within resource-poor urban environments.

TI The surface properties of Shewanella putrefaciens 200 and S. oneidensis MR-1: the effect of pH and terminal electron acceptors SO GEOCHEMICAL TRANSACTIONS LA English DT Article DE Ohshima; Shewanella; DLVO; Soft particle; Electrophoretic mobility; Colloid; Floc; Flocculation; Aerobic; Anaerobic; TMAO ID EXTRACELLULAR POLYMERIC SUBSTANCES; BACTERIAL-CELLS; SOFT PARTICLES; REDUCTION; SEDIMENTS; ADHESION; STABILIZATION; SUSPENSIONS; EXOPOLYMER; RELEVANCE AB Background: We investigated the surface characteristics of two strains of Shewanella sp., S. oneidensis MR-1 and S. putrefaciens 200, that were grown under aerobic conditions as well as under anaerobic conditions with trimethylamine oxide (TMAO) as the electron acceptor. The investigation focused on the experimental determination of electrophoretic mobility (EPM) under a range of pH and ionic strength, as well as by subsequent modeling in which Shewanella cells were considered to be soft particles with water-and ion-permeable outermost layers. Results: The soft layer of p200 is significantly more highly charged (i.e., more negative) than that of MR-1. The effect of electron acceptor on the soft particle characteristics of Shewanella sp. is complex. The fixed charge density, which is a measure of the deionized and deprotonated functional groups in the soft layer polymers, is slightly greater (i.e., more negative) for aerobically grown p200 than for p200 grown with TMAO. On the other hand, the fixed charge density of aerobically grown MR1 is slightly less than that of p200 grown with TMAO. The effect of pH on the soft particle characteristics is also complex, and does not exhibit a clear pH-dependent trend. Conclusions: The Shewanella surface characteristics were attributed to the nature of the outermost soft layer, the extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) in case of p200 and lypopolysaccharides (LPS) in case of MR1 which generally lacks EPS. The growth conditions (i.e., aerobic vs. anaerobic TMAO) have an influence on the soft layer characteristics of Shewanella sp. cells. Meanwhile, the clear pH dependency of the mechanical and morphological characteristics of EPS and LPS layers, observed in previous studies through atomic force microscopy, adhesion tests and spectroscopies, cannot be corroborated by the electrohydrodynamics-based soft particle characteristics which does not exhibited a clear pH dependency in this study. While the electrohydrodynamics-based soft-particle model is a useful tool in understanding bacteria's surface properties, it needs to be supplemented with other characterization methods and models (e.g., chemical and micromechanical) in order to comprehensively address all of the surface-related characteristics important in environmental and other aqueous processes.

CA STAR Collaboration TI Experimental studies of di-jets in Au plus Au collisions using angular correlations with respect to back-to-back leading hadrons SO PHYSICAL REVIEW C LA English DT Article AB Jet-medium interactions are studied via a multihadron correlation technique ( called "2 + 1"), where a pair of back-to-back hadron triggers with large transverse momentum is used as a proxy for a di-jet. This work extends the previous analysis for nearly symmetric trigger pairs with the highest momentum threshold of trigger hadron of 5 GeV/c with the new calorimeter-based triggers with energy thresholds of up to 10 GeV and above. The distributions of associated hadrons are studied in terms of correlation shapes and per-trigger yields on each trigger side. In contrast with di-hadron correlation results with single triggers, the associated hadron distributions for back-to-back triggers from central Au + Au data at root S-NN = 200 GeV show no strong modifications compared to d + Au data at the same energy. An imbalance in the total transverse momentum between hadrons attributed to the near-side and away-side of jetlike peaks is observed. The relative imbalance in the Au + Au measurement with respect to d + Au reference is found to increase with the asymmetry of the trigger pair, consistent with the expectation from medium-induced energy-loss effects. In addition, this relative total transverse momentum imbalance is found to decrease for softer associated hadrons. Such evolution indicates that the energy missing at higher associated momenta is converted into softer hadrons.

It requires far less energy to produce, on a per CO2 basis, than the low-symmetry cyclic 1,2 dioxetanedione dimer, but its kinetic stability against unimolecular dissociation is much lower. The extreme stability of the dimer, which makes it an excellent intermediate in chemiluminescence, is caused by an extreme range of geometric change to its transition state leading to a trapezoidal potential energy surface. The thermodynamically more stable trimer affords a low pressure pathway from molecular carbon dioxide to the extended covalent structure at high pressure. (C) 2013 American Institute of Physics.

It comprises stacked beta-sandwich adhesin (AD) and pilin (PD) domains, with the putative receptor-binding pocket at one pole and an equatorial interdomain interface. CfaE binding to erythrocytes is enhanced by application of moderate shear stress. A G168D replacement along the AD facing the CfaE interdomain region was previously shown to decrease the dependence on shear by increasing binding at lower shear forces. To elucidate the structural basis for this functional change, we studied the properties of CfaE G168D (with a self-complemented donor strand) and solved its crystal structure at 2.6 angstrom resolution. Compared with native CfaE, CfaE G168D showed a downward shift in peak erythrocyte binding under shear stress and greater binding under static conditions. The thermal melting transition of CfaE G168D occurred 10 C below that of CfaE. Compared with CfaE, the atomic structure of CfaE G168D revealed a 36% reduction in the buried surface area at the interdomain interface. Despite the location of this single modification in the AD, CfaE G168D exhibited structural derangements only in the adjoining PD compared with CfaE. In molecular dynamics simulations, the G168D mutation was associated with weakened interdomain interactions under tensile force. Taken together, these findings indicate that the AD and PD of CfaE are conformationally tightly coupled and support the hypothesis that opening of the interface plays a critical modulatory role in the allosteric activation of CfaE.

An exact numerical solution of the phonon Boltzmann transport equation is implemented, which uses harmonic and anharmonic interatomic force constants determined from density functional theory as inputs. We discuss the method for calculating the anharmonic interatomic force constants in some detail, and we describe their role in providing accurate thermal conductivities in a range of systems. This first-principles approach obtains good agreement with experimental results for well-characterized systems (Si, Ge, and GaAs). We determine the intrinsic upper bound to the thermal conductivities of cubic aluminum-V, gallium-V, and indium-V compounds as limited by anharmonic phonon scattering. The effects of phonon-isotope scattering on the thermal conductivities are examined in these materials and compared to available experimental data. We also obtain the lattice thermal conductivities of other technologically important materials, AlN and SiC. For most materials, good agreement with the experimental lattice thermal conductivities for naturally occurring isotopic compositions is found. We show that the overall frequency scale of the acoustic phonons and the size of the gap between acoustic and optic phonons play important roles in determining the lattice thermal conductivity of each system. The first-principles approach used here can provide quantitative predictions of thermal transport in a wide range of systems. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevB.87.165201 C1 [Lindsay, L.; Reinecke, T.

CA Star Collaboration TI Observation of an Energy-Dependent Difference in Elliptic Flow between Particles and Antiparticles in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article ID NUCLEAR COLLISIONS AB Elliptic flow (v(2)) values for identified particles at midrapidity in Au + Au collisions, measured by the STAR experiment in the beam energy scan at RHIC at root s(NN) = 7.7-62.4 GeV, are presented. A beamenergy-dependent difference of the values of v(2) between particles and corresponding antiparticles was observed. The difference increases with decreasing beam energy and is larger for baryons compared to mesons. This implies that, at lower energies, particles and antiparticles are not consistent with the universal number-of-constituent-quark scaling of v(2) that was observed at root s(NN) = 200 GeV.

TI Magnetohydrodynamic Fast Shocks and Their Relation to Solar Energetic Particle Event Intensities SO TERRESTRIAL ATMOSPHERIC AND OCEANIC SCIENCES LA English DT Article DE Solar energetic particles; CME driven-shocks; MHD simulation; ACE ID CORONAL MASS EJECTIONS; INTERPLANETARY SHOCKS; ISOTOPE SPECTROMETER; SUN; ACCELERATION; IONS AB Gradual solar energetic particles (SEPs) are associated with interplanetary (IP) shock driven by coronal mass ejections. Testing theories/models that are built around shock acceleration mechanisms is difficult due to the complexity of SEP fluxes acquired by single-point measurements. To circumvent this, we correlate fast-forward shock Mach numbers derived from a 1.5D magnetohydrodynamics simulation with the intensity of solar energetic oxygen (O) and helium-4 (He-4) particles acquired by instruments aboard the ACE spacecraft during a series of coronal mass ejections in 2003 (October 28 - 31). A good correlation at the 5% significance level is found for O and He-4 with energy (E) > 10 MeV n(-1), with the peak correlation coefficient r = 0.82 for O (E = 63.8 - 89.8 MeV n(-1)) and r = 0.77 for He-4 (E = 18.0 - 29.4 MeV n(-1)), respectively, for hourly averaged data. This result not only bolsters the causal relationship between IP fast shocks and SEPs, but also suggests that the Mach number of IP shocks is one of the major controlling parameters for the intensity of SEPs measured in the near-Earth space.

(The term ICME as used here will refer to a non-MC ICME.) The starting point of this investigation is the set of intense geomagnetic storms (Dst(min) <= -100 nT) of solar cycle 23 between 1996 and 2005. We also compare the solar source locations of the ICMEs with those of the MCs. The source locations of the solar disturbances are, on average, closer to the Sun-Earth line for the MCs than for the ICMEs. There is an anomaly for the location of the related solar sources: no event came from the region between the solar equator plane and 10 degrees S (south) of that plane. The primary results are listed as follows. The average duration of these MCs is slightly longer (similar to 7%) than that of ICMEs. The average geomagnetic storm intensity for the MCs is higher than that for the ICMEs and CIRs formed by high-speed streams from coronal holes, especially for the events associated with X class flares. The relevant average magnetic field component, i.e., vertical bar Bz(min) vertical bar, is more intense within the MCs than within the ICMEs. The average solar wind speed is similar for both MCs and ICMEs. Maximum solar wind speed is higher within ICMEs than within MCs. Maximum solar wind proton density is higher for MCs than for ICMEs.

To understand the cause of the anomalies, we perform numerical simulation of a realistic inner heliosphere using a global three-dimensional, time-dependent, numerical model with observed solar inputs. It is suggested that these solar extremes are associated with (1) an inflated heliospheric current/plasma sheet (HCS/HPS) and (2) a decrease in the integrated fluxes of mass and magnetic field ejected from the Sun, which was manipulated by some unknown internal solar dynamics.

It appears that these controllers produce efficient, oscillatory command signals by entraining to an efficient or economic gait via sensory feedback. This property is of great interest in the control of autonomous vehicles. The objective of this study is to experimentally validate synthesized CPG control of a tensegrity swimmer. The prestressed cables in a tensegrity structure provide a method of simultaneous actuation and sensing, analogous to the biological motor control mechanism of regulating muscle stiffness through motoneuron activation and sensing the resulting motion by stretch receptors. A three cell, class 2 tensegrity swimmer is designed and built, and open-loop control tests characterize its swimming performance. We then determine gaits for desired entrainment, and use a graphical design method to construct and test the closed-loop system. Lastly, we perform perturbed tests of the swimmer to illustrate the robustness of CPG control. C1 [Bliss, Thomas] Naval Surface Warfare Ctr, Carderock Div, West Bethesda, MD 20817 USA.

S. Army RDECOM CERDEC Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate (NVESD) has been studying the science behind the human processes of searching and detecting, and using that knowledge to develop and refine its models for military imaging systems. Modeling how human observers perform military tasks while using imaging systems in the field and linking that model with the physics of the systems has resulted in the comprehensive sensor models we have today. These models are used by the government, military, industry, and academia for sensor development, sensor system acquisition, military tactics development, and war-gaming. From the original hypothesis put forth by John Johnson in 1958, to modeling time-limited search, to modeling the impact of motion on target detection, to modeling target acquisition performance in different spectral bands, the concept of search has a wide-ranging history. Our purpose is to present a snapshot of that history; as such, it will begin with a description of the search-modeling task, followed by a summary of highlights from the early years, and concluding with a discussion of search and detection modeling today and the changing battlefield. Some of the topics to be discussed will be classic search, clutter, computational vision models and the ACQUIRE model with its variants. We do not claim to present a complete history here, but rather a look at some of the work that has been done, and this is meant to be an introduction to an extensive amount of work on a complex topic. That said, it is hoped that this overview of the history of search and detection modeling of military imaging systems pursued by NVESD directly, or in association with other government agencies or contractors, will provide both the novice and experienced search modeler with a useful historical summary and an introduction to current issues and future challenges. c 2013 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE) C1 [Maurer, Tana; Wilson, David L.] USA, Night Vis & Elect Sensors Directorate, Res Dev & Engn Command, CERDEC, Ft Belvoir, VA 22060 USA.

The objective of this study is to investigate whether the assimilation of satellite-derived bio-optical properties can improve the model predictions (phytoplankton population, chlorophyll) in a coastal ocean on time scales of 1-5 days. The Monterey Bay model consists of a physical model based on the Navy Coastal Ocean Model and a biochemical model which includes three nutrients, two phytoplankton groups (diatoms and small phytoplankton), two groups of zooplankton grazers, and two detrital pools. The Navy Coupled Ocean Data Assimilation system is used for the assimilation of physical observations. For the assimilation of bio-optical observations, we used reduced-order Kalman filter with a stationary forecast error covariance. The forecast error covariance is specified in the subspace of the multivariate (bio-optical, physical) empirical orthogonal functions estimated from a monthlong model run. With the assimilation of satellite-derived bio-optical properties (chlorophyll a or absorption due to phytoplankton), the model was able to reproduce intensity and tendencies in subsurface chlorophyll distributions observed at water sample locations in the Monterey Bay, CA. Data assimilation also improved agreement between the observed and model-predicted ratios between diatoms and small phytoplankton populations. Model runs with or without assimilation of satellite-derived bio-optical observations show underestimated values of nitrate as compared to the water sample observations. We found that an instantaneous update of nitrate based on statistical relations between temperature and nitrate corrected the model underestimation of the nitrate fields during the multivariate update.

Cr90Ru10 is used as a texturing layer for the growth of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) films. HRTEM confirmed the formation of the desired [001] texture in cubic Cr90Ru10 as well as in the adjacent L1(0)-FePt layer using our growth methods. A 1.5 nm layer of MgO was deposited as a tunnel barrier for magnetic tunnel junction in an attempt to fabricate fully perpendicular tunnel junctions of these materials. The HRTEM observations, however, show that the MgO layer was partially crystalline but randomly oriented. The top FePt layer was also found to grow as discrete islands with random orientations and is mostly fcc crystal structure reducing the utility of this multilayer in PMA tunnel junction devices. The fine probe energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy showed the interdiffusion of Cr to Pt/FePt layers. The magnetic properties show out-of-plane coercivity larger than that of the in-plane values but with a loss of squareness, consistent with the loss of [001] texture and of L1(0) structure in the top magnetic layer.

TI Orthogonal optical force separation simulation of particle and molecular species mixtures under direct current electroosmotic driven flow for applications in biological sample preparation SO ELECTROPHORESIS LA English DT Article DE COMSOL simulation; Electroosmosis; Molecular species separation; Optical force; Particle separation ID CHROMATOGRAPHY; FRACTIONATION AB Presented here are the results from numerical simulations applying optical forces orthogonally to electroosmotically induced flow containing both molecular species and particles. Simulations were conducted using COMSOL v4.2a Multiphysics (R) software including the particle tracking module. The study addresses the application of optical forces to selectively remove particulates from a mixed sample stream that also includes molecular species in a pinched flow microfluidic device. This study explores the optimization of microfluidic cell geometry, magnitude of the applied direct current electric field, EOF rate, diffusion, and magnitude of the applied optical forces. The optimized equilibrium of these various contributing factors aids in the development of experimental conditions and geometry for future experimentation as well as directing experimental expectations, such as diffusional losses, separation resolution, and percent yield. The result of this work generated an optimized geometry with flow conditions leading to negligible diffusional losses of the molecular species while also being able to produce particle removal at near 100% levels. An analytical device, such as the one described herein with the capability to separate particulate and molecular species in a continuous, high-throughput fashion would be valuable by minimizing sample preparation and integrating gross sample collection seamlessly into traditional analytical detection methods.

However, this model fails in infants because of the optical effect of vertex distance of a spectacle lens on the effective power at the cornea. In this study, we developed a new model of refractive growth (RRG3) that eliminates the optical effect of vertex distance on the RRG2 model. METHODS We calculated RRG3 values for pseudophakic and aphakic eyes previously analyzed for RRG2. Inclusion criteria were age <= 10 years at the time of cataract surgery and follow-up time between measured refractions of at least 3.6 years and at least the age at first refraction plus 0.6 years. For both pseudophakic and aphakic eyes, we compared RRG3 values in children who had cataract surgery before age 6 months with those in children aged 6 months or older. RESULTS A total of 78 pseudophakic and 70 aphakic eyes met the inclusion criteria. Ages at surgery ranged from 0.25 to 9 years, with a 9.5-year mean follow-up time. The mean RRG3 value was not significantly different between the surgical age groups for both pseudophakic eyes (P = 0.053) and aphakic eyes (P = 0.59). CONCLUSIONS The RRG3 values were not significantly different between the surgical age groups for both pseudophakic and aphakic eyes. Consequently, RRG3 is theoretically applicable even in the small eyes of infants having surgery before 6 months of age.

TI Nonuniform depth grids in parabolic equation solutions SO JOURNAL OF THE ACOUSTICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA LA English DT Article ID WAVE-EQUATION; PROPAGATION; INTERFACES; ALGORITHMS; SCATTERING AB The parabolic wave equation is solved using a finite-difference solution in depth that involves a nonuniform grid. The depth operator is discretized using Galerkin's method with asymmetric hat functions. Examples are presented to illustrate that this approach can be used to improve efficiency for problems in ocean acoustics and seismo-acoustics. For shallow water problems, accuracy is sensitive to the precise placement of the ocean bottom interface. This issue is often addressed with the inefficient approach of using a fine grid spacing over all depth. Efficiency may be improved by using a relatively coarse grid with nonuniform sampling to precisely position the interface. Efficiency may also be improved by reducing the sampling in the sediment and in an absorbing layer that is used to truncate the computational domain. Nonuniform sampling may also be used to improve the implementation of a single-scattering approximation for sloping fluid-solid interfaces.

The broadband pulses (270-330 Hz) were transmitted from a fixed source and received at a bottomed horizontal array, located at the 33 km range. The acoustic intensity level curves of the received signals indicate regular frequency shifts that are well correlated with the measured internal tides. Similarly, regular travel-time shifts of the acoustic mode arrivals correlate well with the barotropic tides and can be explained by tidal currents along the acoustic propagation track. These observations indicate the potential of monitoring internal tides and tidal currents using low-frequency acoustic signals propagating at long ranges.

This study describes the benefits of 3-dimensional stereolithography in the perioperative management of symptomatic heterotopic ossification using models were that were fabricated based on high-resolution computed tomography scans. The models facilitated heterotopic ossification excision through frequent intraoperative reference, allowing the authors to avoid iatrogenic neurovascular injuries.

The model accounts for both local and global interactions of cesium with the surface metal as well as with other cesium atoms. The theory is compared with the data of Taylor and Langmuir [Phys.

We find that for the first two materials, having nu >= 0.2, the experimental determinations of Poisson's ratio are in good agreement with values calculated from the shear and tensile moduli using the equations of classical elasticity. However, for the two auxetic materials (nu < 0), the equations of classical elasticity give values significantly different from the measured nu. We offer an interpretation of these results based on a recently published analysis of the bounds on Poisson's ratio for classical elasticity to be applicable. Copyright 2013 Author(s).

A resonant detection method based on a robust symmetrical number system (RSNS) preprocessing technique is shown to provide a large increase in the flux measurement range while producing a high-resolution representation of the input magnetic field. The RSNS preprocessing is a modular scheme in which a modulus number of comparators is used at the output of each RF SQUID. The number of comparators with logic 1 in each channel represents the integer values within each RSNS modulus sequence. When considered together, the integers within each sequence change one at a time at the next code position, resulting in an integer Gray code property. We show that the RSNS preprocessing has the feature that the maximum nonlinearity is less than a least significant bit.

The correction for a particular channel is based on the intensities measured by all the channels. To recover the narrowband signals, the measured signals (with OOB effects) are partitioned by spectral subranges of in-bands and band-gaps. The OBCT matrix is derived using appropriate approximations for the band-gap integrals. For an N-channel multispectral sensor, OOB effects are corrected by applying an N x N OBCT matrix to themeasured signals. The OBCT matrix for bands M1-M7 of the VIIRS, which was successfully launched on Oct. 28, 2011, is presented, along with simulation results using hyperspectral data from the Airborne Visible InfraRed Imaging Spectrometer and Hyperspectral Imager for the Coastal Ocean sensors.

TI Propulsion efficiency of bodies appended with multiple flapping fins: When more is less SO PHYSICS OF FLUIDS LA English DT Article ID BONITO SARDA-CHILIENSIS; RED MUSCLE; UNDERWATER VEHICLE; CONTROL-SYSTEM; ANIMALS; POWER; AERODYNAMICS; PERFORMANCE; DYNAMICS; SUNFISH AB Underwater animals propel themselves by flapping their pectoral and caudal fins in a narrow range of frequencies, given by Strouhal number St, to produce transitional vortex jets (St is generally expressed non-dimensionally as the product of flapping frequency and stroke (arc) length divided by forward speed). The organized nature of the selection of St and of the vortex jet is thought to maximize hydrodynamic efficiency, although the exact mechanism is not known. Our recent Stuart-Landau equation models, which have self-regulation properties, indicate that the fin and its jet vortices couple. Temporal maps of forces in single isolated fins show a bimodal behavior in certain ranges of the transitional Reynolds number; this behavior bears resemblance to neural bifurcation properties that owe their origin to the self-regulation mechanism. In view of our theoretical and biorobotic evidence of self-regulation in single flapping fins, we explore if this property is altered in a fin-appended body, the goal being to understand how the narrow selection of St, self-regulation, and maximization of hydrodynamic efficiency are related. Swimming vehicles of 1-m scale have been built where a rigid cylindrical body is appended with six flapping fins, three at each end. The fins are rigid, have a rounded leading edge and a laminar section (NACA 0012), and are hinged at one end. The planform is an abstracted version of the penguin wing; it has low aspect ratio and a chord Reynolds number that varies in the transitional range from 10 000 to 60 000. The fin geometry, Reynolds number range, and the nonflexible nature of the main body are in common with those in penguins, and the length and displacement volume are similar to those of sharks. The maximum hydrodynamic efficiency of the fin-appended body (0.40) is lower than that of the single fin (0.57), but is close to that of a fish using several fins. The propulsion density (kW/m(3) of displacement volume) of the fin-appended cylinder is similar to that of a cruising shark. If we allow comparison of electrical versus thermal measurements, the total efficiency of the fin-appended body is similar to that of the damselfly and dragonfly, which are also based on vortex propulsion. The fin force fluctuations are modeled by a van der Pol oscillator. Measured phase maps of force fluctuation versus its time derivative correlate with the Strouhal numbers. Until stabilization, the maximum hydrodynamic efficiency of the fin-appended body increases with fin Reynolds number in a staircase pattern whose boundaries correlate with similar transitional sub-regimes in single fins, including the bimodal sub-regimes, thereby relating efficiency with the self-regulating jet vortex oscillators. At low Reynolds numbers, the peak of hydrodynamic efficiency remains flat over a wide range of St, becoming steeper at higher Reynolds numbers with the maximum occurring at lower values of St. The modeling shows that for self-regulation, future biorobotic design should focus on the reduction of structural damping and on a fin-body assembly that has reciprocal energetic interaction with the shed vortex.

ALEXIS was recently upgraded to include a small, secondary plasma source for a new dual source, interpenetrating plasma experiment. Using two plasma sources allows for highly localized electric fields to be made at the boundary of the two plasmas, inducing strong E x B velocity shear in the plasma, which can give rise to a regime of instabilities that have not previously been studied in ALEXIS. The dual plasma configuration makes it possible to have independent control over the velocity shear and the density gradient. This paper discusses the recent addition of the secondary plasma source to ALEXIS, as well as the plasma diagnostics used to measure electric fields and electron densities.

Purpose: To prospectively analyze the clinical outcomes of the arthroscopic treatment of type 2 SLAP tears in a young, active patient population, and to determine factors associated with treatment success and failure. Study Design: Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: Over a 4-year period, 225 patients with a type 2 SLAP tear were prospectively enrolled. Two sports/shoulderfellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeons performed repairs with suture anchors and a vertical suture construct. Patients were excluded if they underwent any additional repairs, including rotator cuff repair, labrum repair outside of the SLAP region, biceps tenodesis or tenotomy, or distal clavicle excision. Dependent variables were preoperative and postoperative assessments with the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES), Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE), and Western Ontario Shoulder Instability (WOSI) scores and independent physical examinations. A failure analysis was conducted to determine factors associated with failure: age, mechanism of injury, preoperative outcome scores, and smoking. Failure was defined as revision surgery, mean ASES score below 70, or an inability to return to sports and work duties, which was assessed statistically with the Student t test and stepwise logarithmic regression. Results: There were 179 of 225 patients who completed the follow-up for the study (80%) at a mean of 40.4 months (range, 26-62 months). The mean preoperative scores (WOSI, 54%; SANE, 50%; ASES, 65) improved postoperatively (WOSI, 82%; SANE, 85%; ASES, 88) (P< .01). The mean postoperative range of motion was 159 degrees of flexion, 151 degrees of abduction, and 51 degrees of external rotation at the side, which was less than the mean preoperative range of motion (164 degrees of flexion, 166 degrees of abduction, and 56 degrees of external rotation at the side). Of the 179 patients, 66 patients (36.8%) met failure criteria. Fifty patients elected revision surgery. Advanced age within the cohort (>36 years) was the only factor associated with a statistically significant increase in the incidence of failure. Those who were deemed failed had a mean age of 39.2 years (range, 29-45 years) versus those who were deemed healed with a mean age of 29.7 years (range, 18-36 years) (P < .001). The relative risk for failure for patients older than 36 years was 3.45 (95% CI, 2.0-4.9). Conclusion: Arthroscopic SLAP repair provides a clinical and statistically significant improvement in shoulder outcomes. However, a reliable return to the previous activity level is limited; 37% of patients had failure, with a 28% revision rate. Age greater than 36 years was associated with a higher chance of failure. Additional work is necessary to determine the optimal diagnosis, indications, and surgical management for those with SLAP injuries.

TI On the detectability of Fe-57 axion-photon mode conversion in the Sun SO ASTRONOMY & ASTROPHYSICS LA English DT Article DE elementary particles; Sun: particle emission; Sun: X-rays, gamma rays ID STRONG CP-PROBLEM; FAMILY SYMMETRY; INVARIANCE; GENERATIONS; SN-1987A AB Aims. The purpose of this paper is to assess the feasibility of axion detection by X-ray spectroscopy of the sun. Methods. We review the theory of axion-photon mode conversion with special attention to axions emitted in the 14.4 keV M1 decay of Fe-57 at the solar center. These then mode convert to photons in the outer layers of the solar envelope, and may in principle be detected subsequently as X-rays. Results. For axion masses above about 10(-4) eV, resonant mode conversion at a layer where the axion mass matches the local electron plasma frequency is necessary. For axion masses above about 10(-2) eV, this mode conversion occurs too deep in the solar atmosphere for the resulting photon to escape the solar surface and be detected before Compton scattering obscures the line. At the (detectable) axion masses below this, the flux of mode converted photons predicted by axion models appears to be too low for detection to be feasible with current instrumentation. Nonresonant mode conversion for axion masses below 10(-4) eV is also plausible, but with still lower predicted fluxes, since the axion coupling constant is related to its mass. Conclusions. Prospects for meaningful constraints on massive axion parameters from X-ray observations of this transition from the Sun do not appear to be promising. However parameters for massless counterparts (e. g. the "arion") may still result from such observations. It may mode convert in the outer layers of the solar atmosphere, but is not restricted by this to have a small coupling constant. C1 USN, Res Lab, Div Space Sci, Washington, DC 20375 USA.

TI Upper Oceanic Energy Response to Tropical Cyclone Passage SO JOURNAL OF CLIMATE LA English DT Article ID SEA-SURFACE TEMPERATURE; WESTERN NORTH PACIFIC; INTENSITY PREDICTION SCHEME; ENVIRONMENTAL-CONDITIONS; HURRICANE GILBERT; MAXIMUM INTENSITY; THERMAL STRUCTURE; DATA ASSIMILATION; PART I; VARIABILITY AB The upper oceanic temporal response to tropical cyclone (TC) passage is investigated using a 6-yr daily record of data-driven analyses of two measures of upper ocean energy content based on the U.S. Navy's Coupled Ocean Data Assimilation System and TC best-track records. Composite analyses of these data at points along the TC track are used to investigate the type, magnitude, and persistence of upper ocean response to TC passage, and to infer relationships between routinely available TC information and the upper ocean response. Upper oceanic energy decreases in these metrics are shown to persist for at least 30 days-long enough to possibly affect future TCs. Results also indicate that TC kinetic energy (KE) should be considered when assessing TC impacts on the upper ocean, and that existing TC best-track structure information, which is used here to estimate KE, is sufficient for such endeavors. Analyses also lead to recommendations concerning metrics of upper ocean energy. Finally, parameterizations for the lagged, along-track, upper ocean response to TC passage are developed. These show that the sea surface temperature (SST) is best related to the KE and the latitude whereas the upper ocean energy is a function of KE, initial upper ocean energy conditions, and translation speed. These parameterizations imply that the 10-day lagged SST cooling is approximately 0.7 degrees C for a "typical'' TC at 30 degrees latitude, whereas the same storm results in 10-day (30-day) lagged decreases of upper oceanic energy by about 12 (7) kJ cm(-2) and a 0.5 degrees C (0.3 degrees C) cooling of the top 100 m of ocean.

TI Extraction of Perchlorate Using Porous Organosilicate Materials SO MATERIALS LA English DT Article DE periodic mesoporous organosilica; perchlorate; solid phase extraction; groundwater monitoring ID SILICATE MATERIALS; MESOPOROUS SILICA; ADSORPTION; REMOVAL AB Sorbent materials were developed utilizing two morphological structures, comprising either hexagonally packed pores (HX) or a disordered pore arrangement (CF). The sorbents were functionalized with combinations of two types of alkylammonium groups. When capture of perchlorate by the sorbents was compared, widely varying performance was noted as a result of differing morphology and/or functional group loading. A material providing improved selectivity for perchlorate over perrhenate was synthesized with a CF material using N-trimethoxysilylpropyl-N,N,N-trimethylammonium chloride. Materials were applied in batch and column formats. Binding isotherms followed the behavior expected for a system in which univalent ligands of varying affinity compete for immobilized sites. Performance of the sorbents was also compared to that of commercial Purolite materials.

Albert Balaban, Carey TI Gangliosides and Ceramides Change in a Mouse Model of Blast Induced Traumatic Brain Injury SO ACS CHEMICAL NEUROSCIENCE LA English DT Article ID TANDEM MASS-SPECTROMETRY; ELECTROSPRAY-IONIZATION; PRESSURE; SYSTEM AB Explosive detonations generate atmospheric pressure changes that produce nonpenetrating blast induced "mild" traumatic brain injury (bTBI). The structural basis for mild bTBI has been extremely controversial. The present study applies matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry imaging to track the distribution of gangliosides in mouse brain tissue that were exposed to very low level of explosive detonations (2.5-5.5 psi peak overpressure). We observed major increases of the ganglioside GM2 in the hippocampus, thalamus, and hypothalamus after a single blast exposure. Moreover, these changes were accompanied by depletion of ceramides. No neurological or brain structural signs of injury could be inferred using standard light microscopic techniques. The first source of variability is generated by the Latency between blast and tissue sampling (peak intensity of the blast wave). These findings suggest that subtle molecular changes in intracellular membranes and plasmalemma compartments may be biomarkers for biological responses to mild bTBI. This is also the first report of a GM2 increase in the brains of mature mice from a nongenetic etiology.

TI Aerodynamic studies over a manoeuvring UCAV 1303 configuration SO AERONAUTICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article AB The flow past an unmanned combat air vehicle (UCAV) 1303 was investigated in a water tunnel in an effort to understand the complex flow field. The UCAV 1303 is characterised by a non slender, 47 degrees swept-leading-edge delta wing, with a cranked trailing edge, a cropped wing tip and a fuselage. It also has no vertical tail. Dye visualisation pictures and five-axis strain gage load data were obtained on a 1:72 scale model in both steady flow and while the model executed preprogrammed manoeuvres. From the strain gage data, body axis force and moment data were derived. In addition to some similarities, comparison of the flow features observed with those of more well known slender delta wing flows showed some remarkable differences such as tip-stall, the presence of two like-sense vortices on the same side of the wing, their simultaneous spiral and bubble bursting. This paper predominantly discusses the flow visualisation results and attempts to correlate the load data to some of the observed flow features. C1 [Chandrasekhara, M. S.; McLain, B.

TI Cognitive Radar Network: Cooperative Adaptive Beamsteering for Integrated Search-and-Track Application SO IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON AEROSPACE AND ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS LA English DT Article ID WAVE-FORM DESIGN; TARGET RECOGNITION AB Cognitive radar (CR) is a paradigm shift from a traditional radar system in that previous knowledge and current measurements obtained from the radar channel are used to form a probabilistic understanding of its environment. Moreover, CR incorporates this probabilistic knowledge into its task priorities to form illumination and probing strategies, thereby rendering it a closed-loop system. Depending on the hardware's capabilities and limitations, there are various degrees of freedom that a CR may utilize. Here we concentrate on spatial illumination as a resource, where adaptive beamsteering is used for search-and-track functions. We propose a multiplatform cognitive radar network (CRN) for integrated search-and-track application. Specifically, two radars cooperate in forming a dynamic spatial illumination strategy, where beamsteering is matched to the channel uncertainty to perform the search function. Once a target is detected and a track is initiated, track information is integrated into the beamsteering strategy as part of CR's task prioritization.

TI On Measuring Shielding Effectiveness of Sparsely Moded Enclosures in a Reverberation Chamber SO IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY LA English DT Article DE Reverberation chamber (RC); shielding effectiveness (SE); small enclosure ID CAVITIES AB Recently, there has been great interest in evaluating the shielding effectiveness of physically small enclosures (all linear dimensions between 0.1 and 2 m) using a reverberation chamber. In cases where the enclosure is also electrically small (linear dimensions on the order of a free-space wavelength or less), the enclosure supports only discrete resonant modes whose lineshapes have little or no overlap in frequency. This sparsely moded or "undermoded" cavity poses a number of complex challenges to defining and measuring shielding effectiveness. This study contributes to the development of a measurement process for evaluating shielding effectiveness in electrically small enclosures. Specifically, we demonstrate the performance advantages of a traveling-wave antenna (long-wire probe) as a means of fully sampling the field throughout the volume of the enclosure without the need for multiple, wall-mounted probes. Furthermore, the good impedance match of the long-wire antenna permits a large dynamic range in the shielding effectiveness measurements. A simple and fast test method is presented that is accurate and repeatable, and embodies the desired "dovetailing" of shielding effectiveness values obtained as frequency increases and the enclosure transitions from undermoded to overmoded operation. Finally, a rudimentary statistical analysis is provided to assess typical uncertainties inherent in the shielding effectiveness evaluation.

SETTING: Naval Medical Center San Diego Refractive Surgery Center, San Diego, California, USA. DESIGN: Randomized clinical trial. METHODS: Patients had PRK or LASIK and were randomized, pairwise, to a standard postoperative treatment regimen with or without the addition of topical cyclosporine A 0.05% emulsion twice daily for 3 months postoperatively. Visual acuity, mesopic contrast acuity, refractions, and ocular symptoms were assessed through the 3-month examination. Tear-film samples (cytokines and chemokines) were analyzed preoperatively and 1 week and 1 and 3 months postoperatively. RESULTS: The PRK group comprised 70 patients and the LASIK group, 54 patients. The addition of topical cyclosporine A twice a day after PRK or LASIK did not confer special benefits in terms of achievement of target refraction, final uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), or rate of visual recovery (all P>.05, multivariate analysis of variance [MANOVA]). There was no significant difference in tear-film composition based on measurement of matrix metalloproteinase-9, interleukin (IL)-6, or IL-8 recovery (all P>.05, MANOVA). CONCLUSION: The addition of topical cyclosporine A twice daily for 3 months after PRK or LASIK did not provide a significant benefit in the rate of visual recovery, final UDVA, or patient symptoms, nor did it significantly change measured inflammatory mediators (cytokines) present in the tear film.

The density and viscosity were measured at temperatures ranging from (293.15 to 393.15) K and the pure components values fell within the range of previously reported values. Speed of sound data were measured at temperatures ranging from (293.15 to 323.15) K and ranged from (1170 to 1360) m.s(-1). The bulk modulus was calculated from the density and speed of sound data, and its values ranged from (1050 to 1425) MPa. For the pure n-hexadecane and 2,2,4,4,6,8,8-heptamethylnonane and their mixtures, the flash point values ranged from (367 to 408) K and the surface tension values ranged from (24.1 to 27.3) mN.m(-1). The values of viscosity and flash point (360 K) for the algal HRD did not fall within the range of values for the mixtures of n-hexadecane and 2,2,4,4,6,8,8-heptamethylnonane, but the values of density, speed of sound, bulk modulus, and surface tension (26.0 mN.m(-1)) did fall within the range of values measured for the mixtures of n-hexadecane and 2,2,4,4,6,8,8-heptamethylnonane. These data are important for future modeling of these renewable fuels. C1 [Prak, Dianne J. Luning; Trulove, Paul C.] USN Acad, Dept Chem, Annapolis, MD 21402 USA.

Two ALE growth temperature windows were found between 175-185 degrees C and 220-260 degrees C, in which the growth process is self-limiting. In the lower temperature ALE window, InN on an a-plane sapphire crystallized in a face-centered cubic lattice with a NaCl type structure, which has never been previously reported. InN grown on other substrates formed the more common hexagonal phase. In the higher temperature ALE window, the InN films grown on all substrates were of hexagonal phase. The NaCl phase and the epitaxial nature of the InN thin films on the a-plane sapphire grown at 183 degrees C are confirmed independently by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and numerical simulations. These results are very promising and demonstrate the tremendous potential for the PA-ALE in the growth of crystalline III-N materials with novel phases unachievable by other deposition techniques.

Despite the highly successful use of these events in this capacity, many fundamental questions remain. Contemporary research investigates how properties of the progenitor system that follow from the host galaxy such as composition and age influence the brightness of an event with the goal of better understanding and assessing the intrinsic scatter in the brightness. We provide an overview of these supernovae and proposed progenitor systems, all of which involve one or more compact stars known as white dwarfs. We describe contemporary research investigating how the composition and structure of the progenitor white dwarf systematically influences the explosion outcome assuming the progenitor is a single white dwarf that has gained mass from a companion. We present results illustrating some of these systematic effects from our research. C1 [Calder, Alan C.; Krueger, Brendan K.] SUNY Stony Brook, Dept Phys & Astron, Stony Brook, NY 11794 USA.

Five thiol-ene-acrylate monomer blends are found to exhibit similar reaction rates via photo-differential scanning calorimetry, while dynamic mechanical analysis shows the trend in the thermomechanical properties of three of the systems. Two selected thiol-ene-acrylate systems showed rapid polymerization with low apparent shrinkage and relatively low heat evolution (when compared to acrylates) with excellent patternability, while a binary acrylate system shows extreme apparent shrinkage, greater heat evolution, and does not replicate the mask pattern in a controllable fashion. The apparent shrinkage is a measure of patternability, since this quantity represents the actual polymer dimensions when compared to the desired dimension (i.e., photomask pattern).

TI Pulmonary delivery of D-methionine is associated with an increase in ALCAR and glutathione in cochlear fluids SO HEARING RESEARCH LA English DT Article ID INDUCED HEARING-LOSS; ACETYL-L-CARNITINE; INDUCED OTOTOXICITY; N-ACETYLCYSTEINE; ACOUSTIC TRAUMA; DRUG-DELIVERY; FREE-RADICALS; L-CYSTEINE; INNER-EAR; IN-VIVO AB In animals, hearing loss resulting from cochlear mechanosensory cell damage can be mitigated by antioxidants such as D-methionine (D-met) and acetyl-L-carnitine (ALCAR). The systemic routes of administration of these compounds, that must of necessity transit trough the cochlear fluids, may affect the antioxidant levels in the cochlea and the resulting oto-protective effect. In this study, we analyzed the pharmacokinetics of [C-14]D-met in the cochlea and four other tissues after intratracheal (IT), intranasal (IN), and oral by gavage (OG) administration and compared it to intravenous administration (IV). We then analyzed the effect of these four routes on the antioxidant content of the cochlear fluids after D-met or ALCAR administration, by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry. Our results showed that the concentration of methionine and ALCAR in cochlear fluids significantly increased after their respective systemic administration. Interestingly, D-met administration also contributed to an increase of ALCAR. Our results also showed that the delivery routes differently affected the bioavailability of administered [C-14]D-met as well as the concentrations of methionine, ALCAR and the ratio of oxidized to reduced glutathione. Overall, pulmonary delivery via IT administration achieved high concentrations of methionine, ALCAR, and oxidative-related metabolites in cochlear fluids, in some cases surpassing IV administration, while IN route appeared to be the least efficacious. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the direct measurements of antioxidant levels in cochlear fluids after their systemic administration. This report also demonstrates the validity of the pulmonary administration of antioxidants and highlights the different contributions of D-met and ALCAR allowing to further investigate their impact on oxidative stress in the cochlear microenvironment.

Objectives: Considering that waning immunity to pertussis, the only vaccine-preventable disease with increasing cases and deaths in the United States, is responsible for 12-35% of such illness, such issues need to be considered. Discussion: Mostly self-limited in adults, transmission of pertussis to infants places them at risk for hospitalization and death. Pertussis is highly contagious (80% transmission), and atypical presentations are the rule in adults (cough alone) and infants (apnea, bradycardia, poor feeding). Treatment in the first few weeks can impact the clinical course, and later treatment can still prevent transmission. Clinical features like paroxysmal cough, inspiratory "whoop," and post-tussive emesis have mildly increased predictive values and may be absent in adults. Testing is unreliable after 3 weeks of cough. Treatment reduces communicability within 5 days and is suggested without regard to test results within 3 weeks of cough onset for those aged > 1 year (within 6 weeks of cough for < 1 year). Reporting requirements are based on the clinical case definition: ([Cough >= 2 weeks] + [paroxysms OR whoop OR post-tussive emesis]). Lower reporting thresholds are appropriate during an outbreak or when vulnerable populations are at risk. Post-exposure prophylaxis is recommended for at-risk contacts. Tdap is encouraged for all adults. Conclusion: Practical recommendations consistent with the most current guidelines are offered. Published by Elsevier Inc.

TI ACUTE VISION LOSS: A FUZZY PRESENTATION OF SARCOIDOSIS SO JOURNAL OF EMERGENCY MEDICINE LA English DT Article DE acute vision loss; sarcoidosis AB Background: Acute vision loss is a devastating problem for patients and a challenging diagnostic dilemma for Emergency Physicians. This chief complaint is one in which we must be adept at quickly evaluating and initiating either care or referral. Objectives: This case reviews the approach to acute vision loss and shows the importance of expanding the differential in atypical and complex presentations. Case Report: A 31-year-old, previously healthy, white woman presented to the Emergency Department (ED) with 1 day of painless right eye vision loss. Ocular ultrasound and slit-lamp examination were unremarkable. Fundoscopic examination revealed retinal hemorrhages and papillitis. Her chest X-ray study was significant for bilateral hilar adenopathy, and subsequent lymph node biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of sarcoidosis. Conclusions: Although sarcoidosis is more common in African Americans, it must be considered in all patients in the appropriate clinical context. Sarcoidosis is an important diagnosis to include on the differential of many chief complaints that present to the ED, including acute vision loss and dyspnea. Published by Elsevier Inc.

Individuals exposed to traumatic or threatening environments, such as US military personnel involved in combat operations, may be at increased risk of developing altered mental and physical health conditions. Collectively, this may result in a hyperarousal state significantly amplifying psychological symptoms and magnifying physiological alterations. The purposes of this article are to (1) describe stress-related concepts and preoperative stress, (2) discuss potential risk factors for preoperative stress in the adult surgical population, (3) present various psychological and physiological measures of preoperative stress, (4) explore preoperative stress interventions, and (5) discuss potential implications for future preoperative stress research in high-stressed populations.

TI Ocean Renewable Energy Storage (ORES) System: Analysis of an Undersea Energy Storage Concept SO PROCEEDINGS OF THE IEEE LA English DT Article DE Energy harvesting; energy storage; grid storage; renewable energy; sustainable energy; undersea energy; wind integration ID MARINE-ENVIRONMENT; CONCRETE; PFA AB Due to its higher capacity factor and proximity to densely populated areas, offshore wind power with integrated energy storage could satisfy >20% of U. S. electricity demand. Similar results could also be obtained in many parts of the world. The offshore environment can be used for unobtrusive, safe, and economical utility-scale energy storage by taking advantage of the hydrostatic pressure at ocean depths to store energy by pumping water out of concrete spheres and later allowing it to flow back in through a turbine to generate electricity. The storage spheres are an ideal complement to energy harvesting machines, such as floating wind turbines (FWTs). The system could provide near-base-load-quality utility-scale renewable energy and do double duty as the anchoring point for the generation platforms. Analysis indicates that storage can be economically feasible at depths as shallow as 200 m, with cost per megawatt hour of storage dropping until 1500 m before beginning to trend upward. The sweet spot occurs when the concrete wall thickness to withstand the hydrostatic pressure provides enough ballast mass, and this will depend on the strength of used concrete and reinforcement. In addition, the required concrete would use significant amounts of fly ash from coal-fired power plants, and the spheres can serve as artificial reefs.

TI RENAL Nephrometry Score Is Associated With Complications After Renal Cryoablation: A Multicenter Analysis SO UROLOGY LA English DT Article ID LAPAROSCOPIC CRYOABLATION; PERCUTANEOUS CRYOABLATION; PARTIAL NEPHRECTOMY; COLLECTING SYSTEM; MASSES; RADIOFREQUENCY; INVOLVEMENT; CRYOTHERAPY; EXPERIENCE; ABLATION AB OBJECTIVE To analyze outcomes and complications of percutaneous (PRC) and laparoscopic renal cryoablation (LRC) using the radius, endophytic, nearness to collecting system, anterior/posterior, and location (RENAL) nephrometry system. METHODS Retrospective multicenter analysis of 154 consecutive patients who underwent either ultrasound-guided LRC (n = 88) or computed tomography (CT)-guided PRC (n = 66) from March 2003 to December 2011. RENAL score and demographics were compared to postoperative complications (Clavien). Multivariable analysis was carried out for factors associated with development of postprocedure complications. RESULTS Mean age was 68 years (94 men/60 women). Median follow-up was 34 months (range 23.6-45.6 months). Mean tumor size was 2.6 +/- 1 cm. Mean RENAL score was 5.2 +/- 1.4. Differences in (A) nterior/posterior component and (H)ilar domain of the RENAL scores were noted, with PRC favoring posterior tumors and hilar lesions compared to LRC (P < .001 and P = .044, respectively). There were 14.9% complications, all of which were low-grade (Clavien 1,2). There were no differences in complications between LRC and PRC (15.9% vs 13.6%, P = .82). Most common complication type was hemorrhagic in 9 of 154 patients (5.8%); significant increase in the hemorrhagic complication rate was noted for patients with "N" ("nearness") component score of 2 or 3 (5/36, or 13.9%), compared to patients with "N" score of 1 (4/115 or 3.5%, P = .033). multivariable analysis demonstrated that increasing RENAL score was associated with postprocedure complications (odds ratio [OR] = 1.37, P = .025). When separated into individual domains, multivariable analysis revealed that "N" score 3 was significantly associated with postoperative complications (OR 16.15, P = .027). CONCLUSION Increasing RENAL score was associated development of postprocedure complications after renal cryotherapy. Further investigation is requisite to elucidate the role of RENAL nephrometry score in risk stratification prior to renal cryotherapy. UROLOGY 81: 775-780, 2013. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc.

The quench of the near band-edge emission and the presence of a number of new sharp lines in the luminescence spectra of the proton-irradiated samples confirm the formation of various new defects. The changes of the line-shape and peak position of the longitudinal optical phonon-plasmon coupled (LOPC) mode in 4H-SiC are consistent with the decrease in the free carrier concentrations due to the introduction of carrier traps induced by the high energy proton irradiation. The estimated penetration depths for 6 and 8 MeV energy proton were 180 mu m and 300 mu m, respectively, which are in good agreement with the Monte Carlo numerical simulation results. At the 180 mu m and 300 mu m depths, the carrier concentrations were reduced by approximately 34% and 21%, respectively. (c) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

TI Decreasing contact resistance in proton-exchange membrane fuel cells with metal bipolar plates SO JOURNAL OF POWER SOURCES LA English DT Article DE Fuel cell; Contact resistance; Clamping pressure; Metal bipolar-plate ID POLYMER ELECTROLYTE MEMBRANES; CLAMPING PRESSURE AB Ohmic, or (IR)-R-2, losses occur in electrochemical devices, such as proton -exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) due to the resistance of materials and the contact resistance between the electrochemical active area, the gas diffusion and current collector materials. Such losses must be lessened to maximize the conversion of chemical energy to electricity rather than heat. We probe how to decrease the contact resistance in PEMFCs with metal bipolar plates with state-of-the-art membrane electrode assemblies, specifically Au/TiO2-coated titanium bipolar plates (BPPs), gas diffusion layers with microporous layers (GDLs with MPLs), and catalyst-coated membranes (CCMs) comprising a 15-mu m-thick proton-exchange membranes. Through in situ tests of a model system, we find that the system resistance decreases after a compression break-in cycle and then remains low subsequently by keeping the stack assembly compressed at >1 MPa. Ex situ tests show that the surface roughness of the BPPs also affects contact resistance with the GDLs. After accounting for the bulk resistance of the cell constituents (BPPs, GDLs, MPLs and CCMs), we conclude that in a state-of-the-art PEMFC, the contact resistances between the materials contribute 55% of the total (IR)-R-2 losses, and thus dominate the ohmic loss contributions.

Based upon prior analysis by Butler and Mulholland, the smoke deposition was expected to be dominated by thermophoresis. The deposited smoke samples were collected on glass filter paper attached to the hood wall and the mass per unit area of smoke deposited was measured gravimetrically. Measurements were made of quantities required for the prediction of thermophoretic smoke deposition. The smoke deposition measured in the experimental program was well predicted by the thermophoretic smoke deposition equation. The thermophoretic smoke deposition equation was found to be suitable for predicting smoke deposition onto wall surfaces exposed to fire environments.

SO JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID MOLECULAR-DYNAMICS SIMULATION; PRESSURE-DEPENDENCE; ALPHA-RELAXATION; HYDROGEN-BONDS; METHANOL; TEMPERATURE; WATER; DIFFUSION; POLYMERS; DENSITY AB Strong correlation between equilibrium fluctuations under isochoric conditions of the potential energy, U, and the virial, W, is a characteristic of liquids that implies the presence of certain dynamic properties, such as density scaling of the relaxation times and isochronal superpositioning of the relaxation function. In this work we employ molecular dynamics simulations on methanol and two variations, lacking hydrogen bonds and a dipole moment, to assess the connection between the correlation of U and W and these dynamic properties. We show, in accord with prior results of others [T. S. Ingebrigtsen, T. B. Schroder, and J. C. Dyre, Phys. Rev. X 2, 011011 (2012)], that simple van der Waals liquids exhibit both strong correlations and the expected dynamic behavior. However, for polar liquids this correspondence breaks down-weaker correlation between U and W is not associated with worse conformance to density scaling or isochronal superpositioning. The reason for this is that strong correlation between U and W only requires their proportionality, whereas the expected dynamic behavior depends primarily on constancy of the proportionality constant for all state points. For hydrogen-bonded liquids, neither strong correlation nor adherence to the dynamic properties is observed; however, this nonconformance is not directly related to the concentration of hydrogen bonds, but rather to the greater deviation of the intermolecular potential from an inverse power law (IPL). Only (hypothetical) liquids having interactions governed strictly by an IPL are perfectly correlating and exhibit the consequent dynamic properties over all thermodynamic conditions.

TI Regimes of the Electron Diffusion Region in Magnetic Reconnection SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article ID CURRENT SHEETS; MOTION AB The electron diffusion region during magnetic reconnection lies in different regimes depending on the pressure anisotropy, which is regulated by the properties of thermal electron orbits. In kinetic simulations at the weakest guide fields, pitch angle mixing in velocity space causes the outflow electron pressure to become nearly isotropic. Above a threshold guide field that depends on a range of parameters, including the normalized electron pressure and the ion-to-electron mass ratio, electron pressure anisotropy develops in the exhaust and supports extended current layers. This new regime with electron current sheets extending to the system size is also reproduced by fluid simulations with an anisotropic closure for the electron pressure. It offers an explanation for recent spacecraft observations. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.110.135004 C1 [Le, A.; Egedal, J.; Ohia, O.] MIT, Dept Phys, Plasma Sci & Fus Ctr, Cambridge, MA 02139 USA.

TI Excess Specific Heat in Evaporated Amorphous Silicon SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article ID LOW-ENERGY EXCITATIONS; THERMAL-CONDUCTIVITY; LOW-TEMPERATURES; A-SI; GLASSES; SOLIDS; SIMULATION; GERMANIUM; ASXSE1-X; CAPACITY AB The specific heat C of e-beam evaporated amorphous silicon (a-Si) thin films prepared at various growth temperatures T-S and thicknesses t was measured from 2 to 300 K, along with sound velocity v, shear modulus G, density n(Si), and Raman spectra. Increasing T-S results in a more ordered amorphous network with increases in n(Si), v, G, and a decrease in bond angle disorder. Below 20 K, an excess C is seen in films with less than full density where it is typical of an amorphous solid, with both a linear term characteristic of two-level systems (TLS) and an additional (non-Debye) T-3 contribution. The excess C is found to be independent of the elastic properties but to depend strongly on density. The density dependence suggests that low energy glassy excitations can form in a-Si but only in microvoids or low density regions and are not intrinsic to the amorphous silicon network. A correlation is found between the density of TLS n(0) and the excess T-3 specific heat c(ex) suggesting that they have a common origin. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.110.135901 C1 [Queen, D.

A comprehensive overview of the 2011 FrIAC is provided using meteorological analyses, Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) N2O observations, and N2O simulations from the Global Modeling Initiative (GMI) 3-D chemistry and transport model and the Van Leer Icosahedral Triangular Advection (VITA) 2-D (latitude x longitude) isentropic transport model. A vortex edge diagnostic is used to determine the FrIAC boundary, allowing quantification of several FrIAC properties. The 2011 FrIAC originated over North Africa in late March and traveled eastward and poleward over 2 weeks, forming a strong anticyclone that extended from similar to 580-2100 K potential temperature (similar to 25-50 km). Low potential vorticity (PV) was transported to the pole with the FrIAC in early April; during May, most of the PV signature decayed due to diabatic processes. A small remnant negative PV anomaly persisted near the pole until mid-June. Tracer equivalent latitude was low initially and remained low throughout the summer. GMI, VITA, and MLS showed elevated N2O in the FrIAC, although the peak value was smaller in GMI due to a subtropical low bias. The high-resolution (similar to 20 km) VITA filamentary structure quantitatively matched most of the features observed by MLS when smoothed to match the MLS resolution. The high-N2O anomaly persisted in the middle stratosphere over 4 months until late August, when it was destroyed by horizontal and vertical shearing, combined with photochemical processes.

The subsequent decomposition of the tetrahydroaluminate complex via elimination of H-2 produced black powders that were further dried and subsequently annealed in vacuo to temperatures ranging from 620 to 860 degrees C, simultaneously subliming LiCl and Al byproducts for ease of purification, and producing air-stable RMNPs, which were then analyzed by elemental analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy/energy-dispersive spectroscopy (SEM/EDS), magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR, thermogravimetric analysis/differential scanning calorimetry (TGA/DSC), and oxygen bomb calorimetry. Elemental analysis of the materials showed a significant presence of H, C, and N in the product materials. For each of the metal combinations the XRD analysis showed the presence of two main phases that have the same lattice parameters as the cubic metal carbide phase and the tetragonal Al3M phase of each of the group 4 transition metals. Each of the phases exhibited nanocrystallites, with the more refractory carbide phase producing approximately 5 nm crystallites, and the aluminide phase producing 20 nm crystallites based on Scherrer analysis. SEM confirmed that the materials consist of small individual crystallites that are agglomerated into larger structures. The observed Al-27 MAS NMR resonances can be assigned to Al-0, Al3M alloys, and Aln+ ionic species. The TGA data showed the superior stability of these materials exhibiting reactivity with O-2 only at temperatures approaching 400 degrees C. The combustion energy of these RMNPs was then measured using oxygen bomb calorimetry, which confirmed that the air-exposed RMNPs are capable of producing at least 26 kJ/g when combusted in O-2 (as in the case of the titanium aluminum material), and therefore may have potential to be useful fuels.

TI Energetic neutron beams generated from femtosecond laser plasma interactions SO APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS LA English DT Article ID HIGH-INTENSITY LASER; ION-BEAMS; RADIOGRAPHY; TARGETS; PULSES AB Experiments at the HERCULES laser facility have produced directional neutron beams with energies up to 16.8(+/- 0.3) MeV using (2)(1)d(d, n)(2)He-3; Li-7(3)(p, n)(4)Be-7; and Li-7(3)(d, n)(4)Be-8 reactions. Efficient Li-7(3)(d, n)(4)Be-8 reactions required the selective acceleration of deuterons through the introduction of a deuterated plastic or cryogenically frozen D2O layer on the surface of a thin film target. The measured neutron yield was <= 1.0 (+/- 0.5) x 10(7) neutrons/sr with a flux 6.2(+/- 3.7) times higher in the forward direction than at 90 . This demonstrates that femtosecond lasers are capable of providing a time averaged neutron flux equivalent to commercial (2)(1)d(d, n)(2)He-3 generators with the advantage of a directional beam with picosecond bunch duration.

The molecules within the nanoparticles undergo co-ordinated, reversible isomerization between cis- and trans-conformations in response to ultraviolet and visible electromagnetic radiation, resulting in a reversible 20% height contraction of nanoparticles adsorbed on a substrate. The kinetics of the actuation response as a function of light intensity and duration are reported and closely match the molecular kinetics of azobenzene photoisomerization. The results support the proposed mechanism of co-ordinated molecular conformational changes resulting in observable nanoscale actuation.

The method relies upon the direct liquid deposition of standard solutions onto the glass frit at the head of sorbent-filled thermal desorption tubes. Linear calibration results and ideal system conditions for the TDS-CIS-GC-ECD were established for mixtures containing both cyclotrimethylen-etrinitramine, a.k.a. RDX, and 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT). Because of the chemical characteristics of RDX, a higher TDS-CIS flow rate relative to the optimized approach for TNT was required for efficient RDX desorption. Simultaneous quantitation of TNT and RDX using the direct liquid deposition method with optimized instrumentation parameters for RDX were compared to results from a standard split/splitless GC inlet and a CIS.

Soo, Chopin TI Affine group representation formalism for four-dimensional, Lorentzian, quantum gravity SO CLASSICAL AND QUANTUM GRAVITY LA English DT Article ID WAVE-FUNCTION; QUANTIZATION; UNIVERSE AB Within the context of the Ashtekar variables, the Hamiltonian constraint of four-dimensional pure general relativity with cosmological constant, Lambda, is re-expressed as an affine algebra with the commutator of the imaginary part of the Chern-Simons functional, Q, and the positive-definite volume element. This demonstrates that the affine algebra quantization program of Klauder can indeed be applicable to the full Lorentzian signature theory of quantum gravity with non-vanishing cosmological constant, and it facilitates the construction of solutions to all of the constraints. Unitary, irreducible representations of the affine group exhibit a natural Hilbert space structure, and coherent states and other physical states can be generated from a fiducial state. It is also intriguing that formulation of the Hamiltonian constraint or the Wheeler-DeWitt equation as an affine algebra requires a non-vanishing cosmological constant, and a fundamental uncertainty relation of the form Delta V/< V >Delta Q >= 2 pi Lambda L-Planck(2) (wherein V is the total volume) may apply to all physical states of quantum gravity.

The design that is based on concentric square slot/shorted-ring configuration is realisable in cost-effective printed circuit board technology making it attractive for low-cost personal communications devices. The antenna element provides a flexible topology that allows for convenient, independent control of the polarisation and impedance bandwidth of two distinct frequency bands with no fundamental limitation on the ratio between the high-and low-band frequency ranges. The topology of this element is presented, and the antenna concept is validated via simulated and measured results. C1 [Dorsey, William Mark] USN, Res Lab, Div Radar, Washington, DC 20375 USA.

TI Direct detection of time-resolved Rabi oscillations in a single quantum dot via resonance fluorescence SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID SPECTROSCOPY; ENTANGLEMENT; DISTANCE AB Optical Rabi oscillations are coherent population oscillations of a two-level system coupled by an electric dipole transition when driven by a strong nearly resonant optical field. In quantum dot structures, these measurements have typically been performed as a function of the total pulse area f Omega(0)(t)dt where the pulse area varies as a function of Rabi frequency. Here, we report direct detection of the time-resolved coherent transient response of the resonance fluorescence to measure the time evolution of the optical Rabi oscillations in a single charged InAs quantum dot. We extract a decoherence rate consistent with the limit from the excited state lifetime. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevB.87.115311 C1 [Schaibley, J. R.; Burgers, A. P.; McCracken, G. A.; Steel, D.

Here, we examine the nonuniformity for nanocrystalline chemical vapor deposited diamond films of thickness 0.5, 1.0, and 5.6 mu m using picosecond thermoreflectance from both the top and bottom diamond surfaces, enabled by etching a window in the silicon substrate. The extracted local thermal conductivities vary from less than 100 W m(-1) K-1 to more than 1300 W m(-1) K-1 and suggest that the most defective material is confined to within 1 mu m of the growth surface.

TI Horizontal structure of monsoon depressions in the western North Pacific at formation time SO GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS LA English DT Article DE monsoon depression ID TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION; INTERANNUAL VARIATION; GYRE AB Tropical cyclones that form from monsoon depressions in the western North Pacific have a larger outer wind structure, and those that form from monsoon gyres tend to be smaller than average. Quantitative values of the horizontal wind structure of monsoon depressions are analyzed from high-resolution European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts analyses and satellite imagery during 2009. Rather than a circular shape with a diameter of about 1000 km, 80% of the 44 monsoon depressions were elliptical in shape with average diameters of about 812 km north-south and 1098 km east-west. The latitudinal-to-longitudinal ellipticity factor of 0.69 +/- 0.14 emphasizes the noncircular structure of these cases, which is important for the weather distribution and likely also for potential tropical cyclone formations. Seventeen tropical cyclones during 2009 formed from monsoon depressions and none from monsoon gyres, which contradicts earlier studies that about 70% form from monsoon gyres.

Phylogenetic analysis of the whole genome and the L1 gene reveals that the new HPV identified in this study clusters with previously described gamma papillomaviruses, sharing only 61.1% (whole genome) and 63.1% (L1) sequence identity with its closest relative in the Papillomavirus episteme (PAVE) database. This new virus was named HPV_SD2 pending official classification. The complete genome of HPV-SD2 is 7,299 bp long (36.3% G/C) and contains 7 open reading frames (L2, L1, E6, E7, E1, E2 and E4) and a non-coding long control region (LCR) between L1 and E6. The metagenomic procedures, coupled with the bioinformatic methods described herein are well suited to detect small circular genomes such as those of human papillomaviruses.

The processed mixture was cured with diethyl toluene diamine. Three complimentary techniques were used to characterize the dispersion of the MWCNTs in cured composite samples: optical microscopy, micro Raman spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). For sample MF + PSM, optical micrographs and Raman images showed reduced agglomeration and a homogeneous distribution of MWCNTs in the epoxy matrix. SEM analysis of fractured specimen after tensile testing revealed breakage of nanotubes along the fracture surface of the composite. A comparison of the MWCNT dispersion in the epoxy samples processed using different methods showed that a combination of MF and PSM processing yields a more homogeneous sample than the PSM or US + PSM processed samples. Mechanical testing of the composites showed about 15% improvement in the tensile strength of samples processed by the MF + PSM method over other methods. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) results showed a small decrease in the onset degradation temperature for poorly dispersed samples produced by PSM compared with the well-mixed samples (MF + PSM). These results strongly suggest that the MF + PSM processing method yield better-dispersed and stronger MWCNT/epoxy composites. (c) 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

TI Superconductivity with extremely large upper critical fields in Nb2Pd0.81S5 SO SCIENTIFIC REPORTS LA English DT Article ID METAL; TRANSITION; INSULATOR; SYMMETRY; SR2RUO4 AB Here, we report the discovery of superconductivity in a new transition metal-chalcogenide compound, i.e. Nb2Pd0.81S5, with a transition temperature T-c congruent to 6.6 K. Despite its relatively low T-c, it displays remarkably high and anisotropic superconducting upper critical fields, e.g. mu H-0(c2) (T -> 0 K). 37 T for fields applied along the crystallographic b-axis. For a field applied perpendicularly to the b-axis, mu H-0(c2) shows a linear dependence in temperature which coupled to a temperature-dependent anisotropy of the upper critical fields, suggests that Nb2Pd0.81S5 is a multi-band superconductor. This is consistent with band structure calculations which reveal nearly cylindrical and quasi-one-dimensional Fermi surface sheets having hole and electron character, respectively. The static spin susceptibility as calculated through the random phase approximation, reveals strong peaks suggesting proximity to a magnetic state and therefore the possibility of unconventional superconductivity.

CNETMS sol-gel films possess compact, polar cyanoethyl groups and exhibit a relative permittivity of 20 at 1 kHz and breakdown strengths ranging from 650 V/mu m to 250 V/mu m for film thicknesses of 1.3 to 3.5 mu m. Capacitors based on CNETMS films exhibit extractable energy densities of 7 J/cm(3) at 300 V/mu m, as determined by charge-discharge and polarization-electric field measurements, as well as an energy extraction efficiency of similar to 91%. The large extractable energy resulting from the linear dielectric polarization behavior suggests that CNETMS films are promising sol-gel materials for pulsed power applications.

TI Optical Measurement and Modeling of Interactions between Two Hole Spins or Two Electron Spins in Coupled InAs Quantum Dots SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article AB Two electron spins in quantum dots coupled through coherent tunneling are generally acknowledged to approximately obey Heisenberg isotropic exchange. This has not been established for two holes. Here we measure the spectra of two holes and of two electrons in two vertically stacked self-assembled InAs quantum dots using optical spectroscopy as a function of electric and magnetic fields. We find that the exchange is approximately isotropic for both systems, but that significant asymmetric contributions, arising from spin-orbit and Zeeman interactions combined with spatial asymmetries, are required to explain large anticrossings and fine-structure energy splittings in the spectra. Asymmetric contributions to the isotropic Hamiltonian for electrons are of the order of a few percent while those for holes are an order of magnitude larger.

The chemical ordering was first reduced to a minimum at a total fluence (TF) of 1 x 10(15) H+/cm(2), and consequently was recovered at the final total fluence of 2 x 10(15) H+/cm(2). We attributed the recovery of chemical ordering to thermal effects and the enhanced diffusion caused by the high energy protons. In addition, the damages by the protons have little effect on the magnetic scattering processing in MnAl characterized by the anomalous Hall effect. (C) 2013 American Institute of Physics.

Low frequency transport measurements demonstrate independent carrier types and densities within adjacent graphene and hydrogenated graphene regions. Measurements of the Hall coefficient confirm that the charge carriers change sign about the charge neutrality point, that the graphene carrier density retains its linear dependence on a back gate voltage, and that the hydrogenated graphene carrier density deviates from a linear relationship. Transport measurements across the bipolar interface reveal an increasing interface resistance for higher hydrogen concentrations and a source of constant resistance for lower hydrogen concentrations.

TI Pathogen-specific risk of chronic gastrointestinal disorders following bacterial causes of foodborne illness SO BMC GASTROENTEROLOGY LA English DT Article ID IRRITABLE-BOWEL-SYNDROME; DIRECT MEDICAL COSTS; QUALITY-OF-LIFE; FUNCTIONAL DYSPEPSIA; UNITED-STATES; GASTROESOPHAGEAL-REFLUX; YERSINIA-ENTEROCOLITICA; GASTROENTERITIS; DISEASE; POPULATION AB Background: The US CDC estimates over 2 million foodborne illnesses are annually caused by 4 major enteropathogens: non-typhoid Salmonella spp., Campylobacter spp., Shigella spp. and Yersinia enterocoltica. While data suggest a number of costly and morbid chronic sequelae associated with these infections, pathogen-specific risk estimates are lacking. We utilized a US Department of Defense medical encounter database to evaluate the risk of several gastrointestinal disorders following select foodborne infections. Methods: We identified subjects with acute gastroenteritis between 1998 to 2009 attributed to Salmonella (nontyphoidal) spp., Shigella spp., Campylobacter spp. or Yersinia enterocolitica and matched each with up to 4 unexposed subjects. Medical history was analyzed for the duration of military service time (or a minimum of 1 year) to assess for incident chronic gastrointestinal disorders. Relative risks were calculated using modified Poisson regression while controlling for the effect of covariates. Results: A total of 1,753 pathogen-specific gastroenteritis cases (Campylobacter: 738, Salmonella: 624, Shigella: 376, Yersinia: 17) were identified and followed for a median of 3.8 years. The incidence (per 100,000 person-years) of PI sequelae among exposed was as follows: irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), 3.0; dyspepsia, 1.8; constipation, 3.9; gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), 9.7. In multivariate analyses, we found pathogen-specific increased risk of IBS, dyspepsia, constipation and GERD. Conclusions: These data confirm previous studies demonstrating risk of chronic gastrointestinal sequelae following bacterial enteric infections and highlight additional preventable burden of disease which may inform better food security policies and practices, and prompt further research into pathogenic mechanisms.

TI Predicting Temperature-Dependent Solid Vapor Pressures of Explosives and Related Compounds Using a Quantum Mechanical Continuum Solvation Model SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY A LA English DT Article ID HEAVY LIQUID HYDROCARBONS; COSMO-RS; CHEMICAL SIGNATURES; PHASE; TNT; SUBLIMATION; DENSITY; ENERGY; SOIL; APPROXIMATION AB Temperature-dependent vapor pressures of solid explosives and their byproducts are calculated to an accuracy of 0.32 log units using a modified form of the conductor-like screening model for real solvents (COSMO-RS). Accurate predictions for solids within COSMO-RS require correction for the free energy of fusion as well as other effects such as van der Waals interactions. Limited experimental data on explosives is available to determine these corrections, and thus we have extended the COSMO-RS model by introducing a quantitative structure-property relationship to estimate a lumped correction factor using only information from standard quantum chemistry calculations. This modification improves the COSMO-RS estimate of ambient vapor pressure by more than 1 order of magnitude for a range of nitrogen-rich explosives and their derivatives, bringing the theoretical predictions to within typical experimental error bars for vapor pressure measurements. The estimated temperature dependence of these vapor pressures also agrees well with available experimental data, which is particularly important for estimating environmental transport and gas evolution for buried explosives or environmentally contaminated locations. This technique is then used to predict vapor pressures for a number of explosives and degradation products for which experimental data is not readily available.

Estimates of alpha(c) for droplet growth from activation of ambient particles vary considerably and represent a critical source of uncertainty in estimates of global cloud droplet distributions and the aerosol indirect forcing of climate. We present an analysis of 10 globally relevant data sets of cloud condensation nuclei to constrain the value of alpha(c) for ambient aerosol. We find that rapid activation kinetics (alpha(c) > 0.1) is uniformly prevalent. This finding resolves a long-standing issue in cloud physics, as the uncertainty in water vapor accommodation on droplets is considerably less than previously thought.

Each sensor comprises a current carrying nonmagnetic bridge, which experiences the Lorentz force generated in a magnetic field. A metalized fiber laser attached to the bridge measures the induced strain. The operating principle and fundamental performance of the sensor as well as relevant performance parameters are described. Measured data illustrating the sensor and node performance in laboratory tests are presented. Less than 2 nanoTesla/Hz(1/2) resolution at frequencies from 0.002 to 10 Hz is achieved with only 75 mA-rms of current. The sensor node is separated from the interrogation electronics with a 1-km fiber optic cable (extendable to 10 km) and qualified to an operating depth of 100 m. Methods to further improve the magnetometer performance are also discussed. C1 [Cranch, Geoffrey A.; Miller, Gary A.; Askins, Charles G.; Kirkendall, Clay K.] Naval Res Lab, Washington, DC 20375 USA.

Our effort is motivated not only by the need for accurate fractal surface and volume reconstruction but also by the need to be able to describe analytically a scalar field quantity distribution on a surface or in a volume that corresponds to various material properties distributions for engineering and science applications. Our method involves utilizing a refactoring of the W-M function that permits defining the characterization problem as a high dimensional inverse problem solved by singular value decomposition for the so-called phases of the function. Coupled with this process is a second level exhaustive search that enables the determination of the density of the frequencies involved in defining the trigonometric functions participating in the definition of the W-M function. Numerical applications of the proposed method on both synthetic and actual surface and volume data, validate the efficiency and the accuracy of the proposed approach. This approach constitutes a radical departure from the traditional fractal dimension characterization studies and opens the road for a very large number of applications.

Most nonskid coatings have higher average maximum peak heights than the maximum range provided by replica tape. Additionally, parameters such as the density of ridges, the orientation of ridges, the extent of aggregate in troughs, and the slumping of ridges-all of which are important to nonskid performance-are not obtained using standard methods. As a result of an insufficient profile or an objective method for determining that the surface profile of newly applied nonskid coating is compliant with requirements, the U. S. Navy does not currently have a method for determining when nonskid coatings should be replaced. The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) has been exploring the use of non-contact, laser-based methods for measuring the surface profile of nonskid surfaces since 2008. In 2010 and 2011, a system was configured for measuring the surface profile of shipboard nonskid surface. This paper describes the system and the results of both laboratory and shipboard evaluations. These results demonstrate the NRL Surface Profile Tool's ability to distinguish between properly-and improperly-applied nonskid coatings, and its ability to quantify reductions in the surface profile of in-service nonskid coatings.

Traditionally, AC machines have been used in open-loop constant speed applications. The linear induction motor (LIM) is an alternative formation of a rotational induction machine (RIM). Typically, the LIM is designed for high force and stroke motion applications, such as material handling and transportation systems. Often the LIM moves along a linear rail directly, so it provides precision positioning tracking performance and high dynamic stiffness with a hard stop when equipped with a linear encoder and closed-loop control methods. A variable frequency vector control is the foundation of modern high performance AC drives for rotary induction motors. The driving principles of the LIM are similar to the RIM, but its control characteristics are more complicated than the RIM. When driven by a field-oriented controller, also known as a vector controller, LIM behaves like a separately excited DC machine where flux and motion dynamics are controlled independently in order to achieve high performance from the IM drives. The vector control method provides velocity and position control of the LIM effectively. In this paper, a mathematical model of a linear induction motor is presented based on the synchronous d-q reference frame. The secondary field-oriented vector control strategy is developed for precise force control to achieve the desired speed profile for varying load conditions. Under the developed control scheme, the controller stabilizes the LIM effectively when the mass of the slider is varying. The effectiveness of the proposed control scheme is verified by simulation examples. C1 [Biswas, Saroj] Temple Univ, Dept Elect & Comp Engn, Philadelphia, PA 19122 USA.

Gates; shafts and propellers AB The Propulsion Program issues Ready For Issue (RFI) assets from a spares pool that gets ships back to sea faster. Included in this RFI spares pool are Marine Gas Turbines (MGT), propellers, shafts, hubs, and oil distribution boxes (OD Boxes). There are not enough main propulsion shafts available to manage an adequate pool of refurbished shafts for the remaining 22 active CG 47-class ships. This paper discusses the need to dry dock and fund the harvesting and refurbishment of the main propulsion shaft sections on the three remaining decommissioned CG 47-class ships (CG 47/48/51). Although increasing the shafting spares pool is the primary focus of this effort, other assets are also harvested that include propellers, rudders, main propulsion and ship service MGTs, generators, Main Reduction Gears (MRG), Controllable Pitch Propeller (CPP) components, and a sonar dome banjo. All assets removed are used to support the fleet directly, for test cells, in training facilities, or to increase spares pools of obsolete equipment. There are many challenges in cutting-edge technology solutions, such as sawing off a ship's sonar dome while still waterborne to decrease the ship's draft in order to fit into a smaller dry dock, or harvesting a sonar dome banjo spare. These challenges and lessons learned are discussed in this paper, as well as how the Propulsion Program has been responsible for major cost avoidance to the fleet by harvesting equipment for reuse. On Sept. 28, 2011, NSWCCD-SSES issued a contract to dry dock and harvest assets from the decommissioned ships: Ticonderoga (CG 47), Yorktown (CG 48), and Thomas S. Gates (CG 51). The paper briefly goes over responsibilities, milestones, challenges, progress, and lists of the harvested assets, including cost avoidance. This is considered a very efficient, cost effective way to continue maintaining the remaining guided missile cruisers in the fleet. C1 [Karpovitch, E.
